[00:04] clorisu: I'm not particularly well-versed in this, but for others watching, what is the make/model of the keyboard? [00:05] SlidingHorn: it actually doesnt specify. here is where i bought it though https://miniso-au.com/en-au/product/13006/classic-bluetooth-keyboard-white [00:07] should I use the discard option in my crypttab if I have an nvme? [00:08] clorisu: what about on the label underneath it? [00:09] maybe power on is your issue https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/stacks/bluetooth/bluez/docs/troubleshoot/faq [00:09] clorisu: did you check that you bluetooth isn´t blocked? [00:09] rfkill list [00:09] that´s it === Dreaman is now known as CrackerJack [00:20] I tried sudo apt install g++ and got linux-libc-dev not found (ip: 91.189.88.149 80) [00:20] (ubuntu on windows subsystem for linux) [00:21] did you run apt get update first? [00:21] oerheks, gonna do a clean install of WSL and try again [00:22] sudo apt install gcc # should do it [00:22] ah ok [00:22] what's the # do? [00:22] or is that just to comment the rest of your line? ;p [00:23] after # it is just text [00:23] no harm in copying it [00:24] there is a dedicated wsl channel here on #freenode [00:24] OerHeks, ic I just joined ##linux and ##ubuntu, wasn't sure where to take it [00:25] np === dingir___ is now known as dingir_ [00:48] I have emacs 25.2.2 installed, I would like to install a previous version. What is the easiest way to do this? [00:51] MagicCheese3755: You'd likely have to find the old release source and build it. Just note that this would not be supported here, and may not be supported by GNU at all, either. I'm not sure if emacs does LTS releases or something like that. [00:51] Quick question: what is the recommended way to upgrade the kernel (I have some issues with hardware)? Install from backports? Just install the version I like? [00:51] don't need to rebuild it [00:51] just pin the version [00:51] be aware that it may block depending packages from updates too [00:52] Bliepo: upgrade from what to what [00:52] emacs 22-2 good ol times https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ [00:52] Bliepo: and how sure are you a kernel change will resolve your problem [00:53] maybe HWE is a help [00:53] again depends what the problem is [00:53] and how the conclusion that a kernel change is needed has been reached [00:53] ikonia: from the current 18.10 kernel to whatever is newest and I´m pretty sure it won´t fix the issue, but this is a new install that I don´t mind wrecking [00:54] if you're sure it won't fix the issue why do it [00:54] Bliepo, on what ubuntu version, and the troubled hardware would help too [00:54] Bliepo: I'm running on v4.20 without issues so far [00:54] why not work towards something that will fix the issue [00:54] !mainline | Bliepo [00:54] Bliepo: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [00:55] Well, specifically, I´m having issues with an AMD athlon 200GE that shows some video tearing [00:55] I've just finished building 4.20 with some of my own patches in, about to test it [00:55] Bliepo: ok, what have you done to debug it [00:55] Installed the latest mesa using the oibaf repository [00:55] why did you do that [00:56] what pointed you at that solution [00:56] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1070956/how-well-do-amd-raven-ridge-apus-work-with-linux-now [00:57] TJ-: thanks, I will look into that. Good to know it´s stable for you - useful info. [00:57] just reading through that thread [00:58] Bliepo: what version of ubuntu are you actually on now ? [00:58] xubuntu 18.10, Cosmic Cuttlefish [00:59] so you're already on 18.10, yet some guys are saying 18.10 is working just fine for them already [00:59] and 18.10 already comes with 4.18 [00:59] so the other post says you need to "change to 4.18" - well, you're already there [01:00] Bliepo: is the video problems in general or just in one specific app ? [01:00] ikonia: I must admit I only tried VLC [01:00] Bliepo: see where I'm going with this.... [01:00] that thread feels a bit random [01:01] I sure do - I´ll do some additional testing [01:01] and it doesn't feel from the limited info you've got so far that your approach to debugging is sane, [01:01] that thread worries me as it's showing your system should work out of the box - if the info in that thread is valid (which I'm not sure it is as a generic reference) [01:02] Bliepo: try to work it through a bit more and target a solution (or at best understand the problem) people in here and a few other channels with specific knowledge can help if you neeed it [01:02] ikonia: I´ll do that. Thanks for helping out [01:03] Bliepo: ask if you need help, some solid people in here and some specialist channels too [01:11] Blie [01:13] Bloi [01:33] Hi all [01:33] Guys, I cannot get Zoom H4 working with Linux [01:33] on Windows it connects just fine and new audio appears [01:33] on Linux I cannot locate no new microphones [01:35] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NNZ68ZFNnm/ [01:35] This is what I see in syslog [01:37] Does it mean anything bad for you? Those unhandled udev messages.. not sure is it ok [01:37] oops, sorry, that's not udev's [01:44] installed ubuntu on my new zenbook ux433fn, and there's no sound. this seems to be the issue; https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1022579/ [01:45] it's been over a decade since i last compiled a kernel, so i'm a bit wary about applying the patch and giving it a go. [01:47] now i need a gentle push in the right direction, and possibly some guidance. [01:47] ;) [01:48] what are some possible reasons I get a flashing green screen on my monitor? [01:48] it happened in fedora too [02:05] Why is it really that ubuntu does not have antivirus. I get that you for the most part are not installing software from websites and the software has been tested before it goes into the repos. But in windows you also have things like remote code execution from vulnerable software. How is ubuntu not affected by malware even though it has so much of the server space that it has. [02:06] If my question needs to go to offtopic I will gladly move [02:09] Because I know for a fact that linux has malware written for it. I mean even if you go to major antivirus company threat encyclopedia's there is csv's for linux malware [02:14] Hey guys I am running the latest version of Ubuntu and I came upon this problem [02:15] Upon start up after I enter my decryption password, Ubuntu remains on a black screen. The only way for me to get out of the black screen is by plugging something into the HDMI [02:15] tacomaster: Antivirus doesn't come by default because Linux viruses are so rare that you are more likely to be hit by a meteorite. For those that need it, ClamAV is easily installed. [02:16] Most viruses for Linux are specifically targeted at a single system. In which case, an antivirus isn't going to help much. [02:18] SnowyBoop: I mean if you look at the threat encyclopedia for trend micro the first 3 things listed are all linux [02:19] Don't get be wrong I am not trying to say that it is so rampant but I know this stuff is out there. And to my knowledge clamav is mostly just looking for windows viruses right? [02:20] If you read those, they are embedded linux devices. [02:21] In which case, they are likely running unmaintained code and the manufacturer's solution is probably something along the lines of "won't fix, buy a new device lol". [02:21] I mean for the most part linux is linux. All the same kernel but you can have different stuff enabled. Most of the software is shared across from linux and bsd [02:21] Ok so you think this is more of just one company having closed source code [02:22] Embedded Linux is an entirely different landscape than desktop or server Linux. [02:22] Desktop and server distributions will receive regular updates and generally be fairly secure. [02:23] Embedded distributions are largely custom, often receive very infrequent updates, and often missing core services that would be present on servers/desktops. [02:24] SnowyBoop: Sorry for so many questions. I was just really intrested in linux and wanted to try it out. I have always heard that you don't need antivirus but never knew why [02:25] Yeah, as I say, antivirus isn't common on desktop/servers because Linux viruses are fairly rare for those distributions, and software is updated so frequently that vulnerabilities tend not to exist for long. [02:25] What would take Microsoft a few weeks, the Linux community would fix overnight and probably have deployed within a few days. [02:26] linux doesnt have viruses as such, now rootkits [02:26] are known in linux [02:27] kk4ewt, Linux doesn't have viruses? [02:27] no [02:27] linux doesnt have viruses [02:27] Yes it does. I can show you the detections from major antivirus companys [02:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware [02:28] Wonny: well, not so much as they are more proof of concept hacks that are not "in the wild" so to speak [02:28] To say there [02:28] "aren't viruses" is a little misleading, but *in effect* is still relatively accurate [02:29] I know there are trojans for linux as well. [02:31] im getting a bash not found error when running https://install.pi-hole.net [02:31] tacomaster: no system is 100% secure. so what is your real concern? [02:31] if you are running a samba share yes you can to scan it for viruses so the server is not distrubuting to the other users [02:31] it's a path issue right? [02:31] Johne: what version & flavor of ubuntu are you using? [02:32] snowgoggles: academic reason. I work for a security firm and was learning about linux. Wanted to get down to reasons other than the "Security by obscurity" excuse. [02:32] mate [02:32] kk4ewt: https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/ph/security/news/cybercrime-and-digital-threats/cryptocurrency-mining-malware-targets-linux-systems-uses-rootkit-for-stealth [02:33] kk4ewt: That is another document showing that linux malware really is a thing [02:33] bionic [02:34] Johne: Could you please pastebin your exact command and error [02:35] does anyone know of a way of locking the fn key?

[02:52] is there a way to rip iso images off a DVD into a file I can put into a boot drive? [02:52] I have a bunch of laptops with no cd drive [02:58] jaydemir: https://askubuntu.com/a/226933/474173 - take a look [03:03] I installed kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-full a while ago to test out kubuntu, but didn't like it. [03:03] trying to connect to a school wireless network...they're asking for a 'thawte primary root ca' and I dunno what that is or how to get it. [03:03] I now get a kubuntu splash animation when I boot [03:04] how can I revert that to the GNOME one? [03:04] here is the reference page I'm looking at https://cnc.ucr.edu/wireless/ucrwpa_eduroam_linux.html [03:07] k_sze[work]: try using sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and select the one you'd like === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [03:10] Certificate: did you get your certificate from the link in step 1? [03:10] yes but when I point to it it still won't connect so I'm wondering what they mean by the primary certificate [03:11] I don't know what they mean by install it to certificate store. I just downloaded it and pointed to it in the dropdown [03:16] Certificate: I'm not 100% sure this is the correct solution, but see here: https://askubuntu.com/a/94861/474173 [03:17] Certificate: (note the last 2 lines...you might have a .pem, so you'll need to convert if so) [03:17] it shows the pem in the example image though [03:18] ok so I am running gnome 3.3 I have it pretty much customized up as much as I can go to my liking what are your guys thoughts? I was going to go cinnamon but decided to stick with gnome... [03:20] only problem is my vitals extension not showing fan speed, storage controller and voltage. I guess I am missing dependancies? [03:21] hi, is there anyone who could help me with connecting two sensors with ethernet interfaces to my computer? I can only connect to one at a time and not both simultaneously despite having the same subnet. I am on Ubuntu [03:21] eraserpencil1: If you have an issue getting an answer here, you can also try in #networking [03:21] what is the sensors? [03:21] I do some networking. [03:22] what are they? [03:22] my first guess would be assign static ip addressing to both. [03:23] they are sensors from SICK. connects through ethernet. One is at 192.168.0.100, the othe is at 192.168.0.300. Throught the GUI of NM, i have an ethernet connection at 192.168.0.50 [03:23] 300 isn't possible [03:23] 192.168.0.300 = 192.168.0200 [03:23] 192.168.0.200 [03:23] top address is 255.255.255.255 [03:23] i think correct me if I am wrong. [03:23] i typo-ed. [03:24] ? [03:24] you mean 020 and 030 [03:24] i had a typing error for 192.168.0.300. I meant to type 192.168.0.200 [03:24] or 192.168.0.003 and 002 [03:25] 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 [03:25] that is the most you can go [03:25] stop at 255 [03:25] if you are at 300 that is problem [03:26] try using 200 and 201 [03:26] subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.0.1 I suppose [03:26] or whatever the gateway [03:27] fareast: you mean to set one at 200 and the other at 201? and my ip at 100? [03:27] yea 255.255.255.0 is correct [03:27] is gateway needed? [03:28] yes [03:28] i currently dont have gateway and it works fine [03:28] whatever your router is set to [03:28] ok never mind [03:28] no gateway if you don't need internet or your are just bringing it in direct to the computer [03:28] Johne: how exactly did you install Ubuntu MATE 18.04? [03:28] only gateway if you are doing some internet or intranet [03:29] VirtualBox 64 bit ISO [03:29] so using a program on the computer for it to connect to with specified ip you should be fine [03:29] but but if my sensors are now at 200, 100 and i am at 50... it should work right? [03:29] anything from 1-255 [03:30] fareast: that is the current config but i cant connect to more than 1 at a time [03:30] as long as you don't have something on the same network like a 3rd ip wifi or hardwire [03:30] you don't want an ip conflict [03:30] What IRC clients do y'all use on Ubuntu? [03:30] no ip conflict [03:30] Johne: what happens if you sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade then sudo apt install bash [03:30] irssi [03:30] what is it called again? [03:31] sensors from sick [03:31] let me look it up [03:31] OLS10 and SICK_TIM571 [03:31] SlidingHorn: let me do that again [03:31] Overman: more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic or maybe #ubuntu-discuss [03:31] SlidingHorn, roger. Sorry. [03:32] howdy. could i get some help with https://serverfault.com/questions/947503/ubuntu-vpn-gateway-conf-iptables-rules-proxyarp [03:33] outernational: That's another one that might get better answers in #networking (not saying you won't get one in here, though) [03:33] what platform are you connecting with ubuntu? [03:33] platform? [03:33] operating system [03:33] 16.04 [03:34] i would try to login https [03:34] just do an https://192.000.000.000 in your web browser [03:34] @SlidingHorn those commands would update the list of software from the software repositories, then upgrade all packages to the most recent version without breaking dependencies (I believe; check the man by typing 'man apt' and reading about the upgrade command) and then it would install the bash package. [03:34] bash is already the newest version (4.4.18-2ubuntu1). [03:34] unable to connect [03:35] I am not too familiar with these type of sensors. [03:35] maybe use a router [03:35] @Johne Oh, sorry was it you that needed help with those commands? I'm not an apt wizard, but in that case it is as stated. The repository does not have a more recent version for you to download and install. [03:35] plug them into a router [03:35] it just does not make sense... [03:36] Cybergrad: they're trying to set up a pi-hole, and got a "command 'bash' not found" when they ran the 1-step curl install [03:36] well you might be restricted with what you have unless you do some deeper configs [03:36] <`dw> hi. i have a (small) patch against gnome-terminal's source package for 18.04. i've just upgraded to 18.10 and would like to track that patch properly. i tried pulling the package's git repo from launchpad.net, but the tree from the origin source package that i hacked has no bearing to anything it contains. any clue? [03:36] How can convince the linux scheduler to move processes between cores more often? I have many threads (more than CPU cores) that run for several minutes each but the scheduler often lets many of my cores sit idle [03:36] so the computer has 4 ethernet ports [03:36] i would just cable 1 of your lans into router and set the statics on the devices [03:36] then see if you can access both [03:36] from what i was looking on the website they look like they had apps that run off tablet. [03:37] closest I've seen to my issue is this [03:37] https://www.unix.com/shell-programming-and-scripting/184963-bash-not-found-error.html [03:37] in that case you would want to hand them off to a router or a switch hooked into a router. [03:37] whichever the situation I think you could create your own network route to host the equipment on tho. [03:37] SlidingHorn: thanks! [03:38] just a thought. [03:38] if you are worried about security just don't use wifi on the router. [03:38] i believe in the second one [03:38] and don't uplink internet./ [03:39] Johne: (putting aside the fact that I don't like piping a curl directly into bash) try replacing "bash" in their command with "/bin/bash/" [03:39] (without that last slash, actually) === capella|away is now known as capella [03:43] bow it's running [03:44] you're a gentleman and a scholar [03:44] now* [03:46] I was wondering. I just installed ubuntu 18.10 on my machine. The try ubuntu before you installed worked perfectly but now after install I get a black screen on one of my monitors after login. It just so happens to be my main monitor with all the gnome taskbar and everything. I have just opened a termal so I can open firefox with out the icon. I have an intel intagrated video card. [03:48] In Ubuntu 18.10 Gnome To Do, setting priority doesn't work. Only while a tasks details are expanded can you set a priority level, but when focus is lost the priority setting defaults to none. [03:48] I was reading that disabling fast boot seems to fix it but I do not have an option to disable fastboot on my machine. I have a minimal, intensive, or auto for my fast boot settings. Also I have seen that upgrading to 4.19 fixes the issue but wanted to make sure before I start changing the software that talks to all my hardware. === Overman is now known as Wonny [03:50] plus my machine showed on the ubuntu site to have a pre-installed certification to verify that everything would work [03:53] anyone played with https://tmate.io/? [04:02] I have two hard drives in my computer: a NMVE SSD that cannot be booted by my BIOS, and another hard drive that can be booted. I want to install Lubuntu on the non-bootable SSD. Can I install Grub on the bootable drive? [04:03] Ok I figured out disabling wayland fixes the issue. Is there any benifit to using wayland over xorg? [04:04] If not, what is the best way with my setup to boot into the NVME drive? [04:06] How can I increase linux scheduler work stealing? I'm seeing a lot of idle cores in the same numa node while I have a very high loadavg [04:09] ogrgkyle: yes you can install grub to the bootable drive instead [04:11] Johne: are you using Linux Mint? [04:11] tomreyn: i tried this a few different ways: installing lubuntu, i selected the "something else" option and chose /dev/sda (the other drive) as the place to install the bootloader. that didn't work. then i tried making a partition for it (/dev/sda1) and re-running the installer, and that completed but wouldn't boot. then i tried installing without a bootloader, then running a live CD and installing grub to the second drive using boot-repair, and that [04:11] didn't work. [04:12] if i want to use ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS but wants the latest gimp (2.10.x), what should i do? [04:12] find a ppa or go source [04:13] tomreyn: just now in the lubuntu live cd, i tried: sudo grub-install /dev/sda, and got this: grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'aufs'. [04:14] ogrgkyle: this sounds like ads is actually the live 'cd'? [04:15] *sda [04:15] ogrgkyle: is this a classic bios or uefi? [04:15] tomreyn: maybe, but how could it be for the live dvd? i know it's the secondary hard drive. [04:16] tomreyn: uefi. [04:17] ogrgkyle: uefi, then you need the ESP on the bootable drive, and grub, too. everything else can go to the nvme [04:17] tomreyn: okay, what's the ESP? sorry, I'm somewhat new to this. [04:18] efi system partition. a ~500 MB partition flagged 'esp' and 'boot', with a fat32 file system [04:18] can i do this in the lubuntu setup? i didn't see a flags option [04:20] i'm not sure how the desktop installer does this. it probably does, but it may not expose it. if you want to set things up yourself i suggest you use the alternative server installer. [04:21] server installer...? [04:21] but do create gpt partition tables on all stroages before you start the installer. [04:22] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.1/release/ubuntu-18.04.1-server-amd64.iso [04:23] does that exist for lubuntu? haven't found it so far [04:27] tomreyn: if not, maybe i'll try your link. thanks for the help [04:27] ogrgkyle: you'd install the server first, then lubuntu-desktop after installation [04:28] gtg, sleep, good luck! [04:28] thanks! [04:29] so I'm having trouble connecting to my schools wireless network using these instructions https://cnc.ucr.edu/wireless/ucrwpa_eduroam_linux.html I've tried moving the certificate around I've tried installing it I've tried pointing in the menu to the root certificate they mention [04:30] does anyone notice non-drive volumes are not shown in chrome and other apps' gtk 3 file chooser? but shown in gtk 2 just fine [04:31] removable drives are visible, just not the custom volumes with x-gvfs-show, but they do show up on desktop and file manager...

[08:14] gde33: If you properly shutdown the system or flush the disk after the install properly then there wont be any problem, else for example the system crashes before doing those, then there might be problem [08:14] will the upgrade from 16 to 18 prompt me so that ill wake up to a not upgraded system?

[11:03] what does this have to do with ubuntu [11:14] Hi guys! i hope you can help or point me in the right direction. I installed Ubuntu on a usb stick using persistency. I have a problem with booting though. After installing it, with the usb stick in, the computer loads grub and I can choose the OS. If I take out the USB, then the computer loads grub, but i can't choose the OS. I want that when i take out the USB, to have Windows and if I put the USB in, to load grub and choose [11:16] could you give a better description than "can't choose the OS" [11:20] After upgrading 16.04 to 18.04 I can't connect to my (vpnc) VPNs anymore. It seems as if "/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-vpnc-auth-dialog" is missing? [11:21] Mouzz: is the NM plugin still installed? [11:23] tomreyn, Not installed and apt search does not return any pkg suggestion [11:29] tomreyn: This steered me in the right direction probably. I installed "network-manager-vpnc-gnome" (previously the pkg name without -gnome was sufficient) and I now have the nm-vpnc-auth-dialog file. [11:29] hi [11:30] when I press ctrl+k and go to document > target how do I specify there that the number of the chapoter should be shown in the link? [11:30] the help button of this page is not helpful at all [11:31] Mouzz: this sounds correct, this package was also available for 16.04 so i'm surprised you didnt have this package installed previously. https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=network-manager-vpnc-gnome [11:31] nm-applet can be used to set up the vpn now, but the new gnome interface still does not work (yet) [11:32] The default is '1.2.4."Encrypt-to-Self"|outline' but this does not show the number [11:35] Mouzz: you may need to systemctl reload-or-restart NetworkManager.service [11:35] IniGit: which application are you inquiring about? [11:36] libreoffice writer [11:36] I do Hyperlink>Document [11:36] then I specify a target [11:37] and then I want that it show the text + chapter number of the target in the link text [11:37] but I do not find informaiton how to to that. Btw when do I use hyperlinks and when cross references for document internal links? [11:38] I know that cross references automatically update, but can this be achieved with hypyerlinks too?= [11:38] IniGit: this question might be a bit too application specific for someone to know the answer here. i suggest you you head over to #libreoffice [11:38] oobs [11:39] sry I thought I am in #libreoffice [11:39] I do not feel well today [11:39] sry [11:39] maybe you are, but *this* channel is #ubuntu ;-) [11:39] no worries [11:41] tomreyn: An Ubuntu bug-report (comment) for 1725779 states a reboot might solve the problem. I'm just gonna try this so brb [11:48] Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 install that has recently become unable to boot (goes straight into an initramfs console): https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1800250 [11:48] Launchpad bug 1800250 in linux-signed-hwe (Ubuntu) "Latest kernel boots to (initramfs) console on Dell Inspirion 15 7577" [Undecided,New] [11:50] tomreyn: A reboot actually worked, where "systemctl rstart NetworkManager.service" didn't... Thanks for the pointers! [11:50] The problem I have is that the LiveUSB of 18.04 doesn't detect my install of 16.04 at all - so it doesn't offer an upgrade path from that. Using mount and chroot to the install doesn't allow me to do "do-release-upgrade" - it just fails. Any thoughts on what else I can try? [11:51] (the reason it propably can't detect it is because I have Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 on different partitions - I triple boot) [11:56] hazrpg: Have you tried adding kernel boot parameters (or whatever they are called) from the grub boot menu?
