sparr_iI am trying to install 18.10 on my Dell 7490 laptop but the installer can't see the internal hard drive nor can cfdisk. the installer crashes when I try to use the +|-|Change buttons in the partitioning dialog. How can I find/see the drive?00:21
EriC^^sparr_i: what does "sudo parted -ls" show?00:24

OerHeks change “SATA Operation” from RAID to AHCI in the BIOS settings, is the most common solution00:27
OerHeksnot sure "nvme_load=YES" as boot option is needed ...00:27
OerHeksand make sure you have the latest bios version ?00:28
OerHeksoh, also fast boot needs to be disabled in windows, if installed00:33
parataxisdoes anyone know what happened to kwin-wayland-backend-hwcomposer? it's referenced in several places (eg: http://neon.plasma-mobile.org:8080/dists/xenial/main/binary-armhf/Packages) but it doesn't seem to be in the actual package repo for xenial00:41

Nexilvabash or zsh i should use? I don't know.01:08
Nexilvamy entire config is setup for bash, but I want to try zsh as people say it's much better01:08
parataxisI used to hear people say zsh is better but now the people who used zsh seem to use fish01:09
parataxisI still use bash but I also still use gnu screen so01:09
NexilvaI took 60gb from the end of my /media drive, 1tb wd black, and turned it into a storage pool for lxd/lxc, but it's very slow compared to the ssd I have.01:10
NexilvaOh well, I deal with it. I setup Xephyer server locally, sshx11 forwarding in lxc container, and now I can run a gui env. inside it01:10
NexilvaTrying to check out the upcoming ubuntu01:11
Nexilvaparataxis: I too use GNU screen and I can't seem to get used to tmux. I have the following setup in urxvt and gnu screen and bash: shift+ left/right arrow keys, switch urxvt perl tabbed module, ctlr+left/right switch gnu screen windows, locally or any remote ssh session's, and alt+left/right switches weechat windows01:12
NexilvaThat's why I can't seem to get away. Any other terminal doesn't work right. I tried Terminology and Tilix and etc. but nothing matches up to xterm style emulators01:13
KildeHelp. Upgrade aborted do to unsigned Kernels. What does this mean?01:13
NexilvaI tried Tilix, but it doesn't seem to have transparency that I could find. All you can do is specify the same background in __it__ as you have in your background desktop, but then if you open another tile in that terminal, it has that whole background duplicated and smaller, urxvt works best01:14
Nexilvaparataxis: which terminal do you use?01:14
parataxisterminology01:14
NexilvaI like enlightenment.01:14
NexilvaLet me fire it up and see if I can configure to my liking or not01:14
NexilvaMaybe you know more about it01:14
parataxisI don't like efl (grep for strlen in the source and be horrified) but terminology works better than the other terminals I've used01:15
parataxisthey've been cleaning it up some now that samsung uses it in all their smart TV's but it's still extremely cowboy01:15
parataxisI use xfce as my desktop environment01:16
Nexilva~Hang on, I had to restart my env. Something screwed up my desktop was goofy01:19
NexilvaOk, I got terminology to work and give me transparency so that I can see my background, but the problem is that I can't seem to adjust the transparency level to my desire01:19
NexilvaEither it's fully transparent, and you cant' see the text, or it's fully black/opaque, and you cant' see the background behind it01:20
NexilvaI can adjust the slider in settings, but it only has two effects. It isn't adjusting the transparency level by the silder, gradually, there is no in-between, just either opague or fully transparent. I want only 15% transparency and it isn't doing it.01:20
Nexilva:(01:21
NexilvaAnd now that it's fully transparent, I can't right click to get terminolgoy menu, I only get the desktop right click menu, but I'm clicking inside terminology window.01:21
NexilvaThis terminal client seems a bit wonky01:22
Nexilvaalt or shift or ctrl plus click doesn't give me menu in terminology either01:23
NexilvaOk, finally the settings menu somehow showed up01:24
NexilvaI go to settings > video > check "Translucent" and set it to 50%, and I it's still fully 100% transparent.01:25

MrCrackPotBuildeHi everyone how are we all? Does anyone here use Adobe Reader 9 if so did you have a problem where by the window opens in full-screen hiding the taskbar. Also my reader has no minimize maximise or close buttons in the top right corner on ubuntu 18.0404:21
MrCrackPotBuildeI cant seem to find anything ubuntu specific in google search.04:22
tomreynmaybe it isnt ubuntu related. try search for soemthing gnome 3 related04:23
tomreynKira: if this is an ubuntu kernel it is very outdated. be sure to do a full-upgrade.04:26
tomreynKira: "df -h" tells you how full your file systems are04:27
MrCrackPotBuildetomreyn Thanks i've been having a few problems with gnome 3 the last few days so it wouldnt surprise me. LibreOffice doesnt like gnome3 (gtk3)04:27
tomreynMrCrackPotBuilde: what'S the issue with libreoffice (works fine for me on default ubuntu 18.04, though i have not used it much)04:27
Kiratomreyn, I'm no longer on that kernel. The issue is that depmod still finds some junk related to that kernel and tries to do stuff (unsuccessfully).04:28
tomreynKira: please post the url returned by: dpkg -l linux\* 2 >&1 | pastebinit04:29
MrCrackPotBuildetomreyn are you using minimal install or standard? Im using the minimal and when trying to play audio it just failed crashes each time. I was getting quite annoyed as it worked fine outside of libreoffice and with a friends computer running an old version (16.04). I had installed all of the gstreamer plugins to no avail04:29
MrCrackPotBuildewhat ended up solving the problem was a answer from stackexchange saying to uninstall gtk3 and install gtk204:29
MrCrackPotBuildeafter doing that libreoffice no longer crashes and inserts and plays videos without any errors at all04:30
tomreynMrCrackPotBuilde: i have ubuntu-desktop installed, since i want to run an ubuntu desktop04:30
MrCrackPotBuildetomreyn sorry for the confusion. When you install ubuntu desktop your asked for a standard or full install or a minimal install04:31
MrCrackPotBuildestandard / full-install04:31
tomreynuninstalling gtk3 sure sounds wrong if you're on default gnome based 18.0404:31
MrCrackPotBuildethis comes with all the games and "bloatware"04:31
MrCrackPotBuildeit solved the problem04:32
Kiratomreyn, I just manually purged lots of stuff related to old kernels: https://bpaste.net/show/25cb7d6d529e04:32
tomreynit surely introduced a lot more issues though04:32
MrCrackPotBuildeafter uninstalling and installing gtk2 without any other modifications it works like a dream04:32
MrCrackPotBuildeso far i havent seen any04:32
Kiratomreyn, this is what `dpkg -l linux\*` looks like now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NQX43gcW9q/04:33
tomreynKira: much better, but you really should have linux-image-4.4.0-141-generic version 4.4.0-141.16704:34
tomreynso you're still far behind04:34
tomreynKira: oh wait sorry, thats wrong04:34
tomreynKira: looks fine! i accidentially took this as kernel 4.4, not 4.15 which is what you have04:35
tomreynMrCrackPotBuilde: which graphical desktop do you use then?04:36
Kiratomreyn, which is kinda odd04:37
Kirathe man page of purge-old-kernels says apt is supposed to handle that automatically now.04:37
KiraAnd I've always used apt to update the kernel.04:38
MrCrackPotBuildetomreyn gnome04:38
tomreynKira: doh, i didn't actually know this command, interesting.04:38
tomreynKira: indeed, normally apt should be removing any but the currently runnign and the latest two kernel images04:39
tomreynthat's unless they were marked as manually installed04:39
KiraYeah, I never manually install a specific version of the kernel.04:40
tomreynso "apt-mark showmanual | grep linux" should not list anything but meta packages04:40
tomreynMrCrackPotBuilde: i doubt you'll survive long without gtk3, nor that you succeeded in uninstalling it without purging gnome.04:41
tomreynnot with apt without massively using --force, anyways04:41
tomreynKira: so all is good now?04:41
Kiratomreyn, yeah, only shows the meta packages now.04:41
tomreynKira: or is there still this error message?04:41
Kiratomreyn, I'll see, when linux-firmware gets updated again04:42
Kiraor I should try to force reinstall linux-firmware and see if it triggers?04:42
tomreynyou could pruge + install it.04:42
tomreynor just --reinstall install04:42
Kiraodd, I still get those error messages.04:45
Kiraso I still have /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-103-generic for some reason.04:46
tomreynSquarism: i think you can usually assume that binary packages made available via launchpad were built from source code that is available to inspect (but dont trust me there, better check for yourself!). does this mean that the source code or binaries are not malware? no, not at all, there is no vetting involved in ppa's.04:46
MrCrackPotBuildetomreyn seems your right gtk3 is still installed however so is gtk2 strange. i wonder why i havent had any conflicting errors so far as its been a month now since it was changed04:46
tomreynKira: does 'ls' confirm this?04:47
Kiratomreyn, yes, I see it.04:47
tomreynMrCrackPotBuilde: they can live side by side04:47
Kiraupdate-initramfs was trying to generate it04:47
Kirabut it looks incomplete (file size is waaay smaller than the other working kernels)04:47
MrCrackPotBuildeah thats beautiful hahaha as long as my issue is fixed im not going to play around much with it i have a deadline to meet04:48
tomreynKira: if "dpkg -S /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-103-generic" returns nothing then i'D just rm (-r) it.04:48
tomreynas always with recursive deletes, be very careful.04:48
tomreynMrCrackPotBuilde: cool, glad you fixed it.04:49
tomreyni got to go, breakfast, bbiab04:49
MrCrackPotBuildeit seems online it was a common error.04:49
Kiratomreyn, this might be the answer to my problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/759802/where-does-update-initramfs-look-for-kernel-versions04:52

cswlhi06:02
cswlI booted into Ubuntu ISO06:03
cswlBut I want to use btrfs subvol for ubuntu and not use a bootloader06:03
cswlHow do I install Ubuntu from command line?06:03
tomreyncswl: debootstrap06:14
tomreyni wonder how you'll boot without a bootloader, though06:14
cswlIs there an automated process or is ti manual?06:14
cswlI mean skip the bootloader install which Ubiquity doesnt allow06:15
tomreyndebootstrap is automated, but partitioning, creating the chroot, bind-mounting virtual mounts and installing the boot loader isn't06:15
cswlThing is I'm using btrfs subvols to install more than one distro.. and Im using rEfind06:17
tomreynthe alternative server installer allows for continuing if the bootloader failed to install.06:17
cswlI've already downloaded the full ISO hmm06:17
tomreyni'm not very familiar with btrfs subvolumes.06:17
cswlLets say it basically allows a directory to be mounted as a root06:18
tomreynnor with rEfind06:18
cswlSo I use the alternative installer?06:19
tomreyni'm not sure whether any of the installers support btrfs subvolumes. maybe they do, maybe they don't.06:19
tomreynnone of them support refind06:19
cswlGuess I'll just stick to debbootstrap then06:20
cswlWhats the current 18.10 code.. for debbootstrap?06:21
tomreyncswl: what do you mean by "the current 18.10 code"?06:23

BustinFresh install of Ubuntu 18.10, boot up, and am getting random freezing. Looks to be CPU lock ups  soft lockup’s, then complete freezes which can only be resolved by hard resetting. I have an i5, 8th gen, nvidia gtx 1050, and intel integrated. Any help is appreciated.06:44
lotuspsychjeBustin: your graphics driver version please?06:46
BustinLotuspsycheje, I can’t even get on long enough before a lock up to check, it’s whatever was installed ootb. I am pretty new to Linux, but am not wanting to go back to windows.06:51
madmangunnouveau would be my guess06:53
madmangunedit grub at boot to see if this fixes it.  add this nouveau.modeset=006:53
BustinIs there a shortcut while booting to allow you to get to the boot menu to edit grub?06:54
lotuspsychjeBustin: i would suggest to enter your system with nomodeset, then install the nvidia driver from the ubuntu graphics ppa06:54

madmangunOnce you've installed the latest drivers you can remove that flag.   WRITE IT DOWN.  It's a default headache and you may need to use it down the road to boot back in07:22
tomreyncswl: there are multiple, depending on architecture, boot mode (bios vs uefi), secure boot signed or not.07:22
madmangunEvery distro has the same issue with intel/nvidia duel boot systems.  live cd's etc.  that simple command (nouveau.modeset=0) works everytime for our computers.07:23

madmangunseriously right it down. works for fedora, opensuese, arch, centos, list goes on.  slap that command at grub and your in.  after that find a way to disable nouveau and run with intel or straight up nvidia07:25

tomreynBustin: lines 302 ff. of http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xtVffqRhq4/ are less than ideal, means the bios in its scurrent state may not have been tested with anything other than windows. you can use a workaround ...08:29

Bustintomreyn: seems like an easy enough workaround, thank you.08:32
tomreynBustin: see if the wireless works with it out of the box. i'll take another look on the log later and tell you if i find more08:32
Bustintomreyn: sorry, did I miss something? WiFi works with what out of the box? The acpi fix?08:33
tomreynBustin: this isn'T really the place to discuss it (try ##windows - double hash) but you can also install windows to external media nowadays, and boot off it.08:33

ubottuThe packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories.08:38
cswlOkay its on universe08:39
Bustintomreyn: used the acpi workaround, still no dice for WiFi. Just curious, why would Elementary OS, Debian Stretch, and Linux Mint all detect the wireless out of the box, but not Ubuntu? Kernel versions / compiled drivers differ quite a bit?08:39
lotuspsychjeBustin: wich chipset is that?08:41
cswlThe package is just budgie-desktop hmm08:41
cswlOh well08:41
lotuspsychjeBustin: also keep in mind if you use a non-LTS version of ubuntu, not all things will work as expected08:43
tomreyncswl: actually both ubuntu-budgie-desktop and budgie-desktop exist, and they may have different purposes08:44
cswlAh it installs basic stuff liek audio08:45
tomreynBustin: are the acpi errors gone with the workaround in place? which windows version string did you end up with?08:48
Bustintomreyn: running journalctl -b and scrolling through, I saw a bunch of acpi errors still. It gave me Windows 201508:48
tomreynand "cat /proc/cmdline" shows you set it to that?08:49
Bustintomreyn: "acpi_os=Windows 2015" - Yep08:49
Bustinosi*08:49
tomreynsee also line 1913 of your earlier system log, this is a "kernel oops", a report by the kernel that an IRQ was not handled.by the firmware.08:50
tomreyndo you still see this on the currnet boot? if so, use the workaround discussed there.08:50
tomreynand consider (even more now) the bios upgrade08:51
BustinI am leaning towards a bios update, and now since I have the tools to rid the halts, re-installing should be quite easy. But if the WiFi does not work, it will be a pretty useless install. Does the 18.04LTS version offer the "minimal install" that the 18.10 media provides? If not, is there a way to avoid "bloat"? Thank you.08:52
talxhello guys08:53
talxanyone here familiar with terminator emulator ?08:53
tomreynBustin: what do you consider to be "bloat"?08:53
lotuspsychjetalx: best to ask your question to the channel, volunteers might take a look if they know it08:54
lotuspsychjetalx: there is also a #terminator channel if you like08:54
Bustintomreyn: sorry, by "bloat", I just meant all the pre-installed software that is not installed when selecting "minimal install" with 18.1008:55
tomreynBustin: not the best term to describe "full installation". ;-)  you can do a minimal installation on 18.04 as well.08:56
Bustintomreyn: my mistake. I will give the LTS a go, will also do the suggested bios update. Thank you for pointing that out to me by the way.08:57
tomreynBustin: you're welcome.08:58
Bustintomreyn: 18.04LTS has wifi and no cpu lock-ups ootb, might be best to use this for a bit!09:10
tomreynBustin: cpu lock-ups?09:17
tomreynoh, i hadn't seenyou reporting this previously09:18
tomreynthe acpi errors will probably still be present. and the unspecified bios security issues will surely be present until you upgrade. but it's possible that they are mitigated by ubuntu.09:19

EriC^^when it happens it might help to run "type -a exim4" and see what it gives14:14
MacroManAs expected: exim4 is /usr/sbin/exim414:14
EriC^^MacroMan: oh, setuid is so that a program can change the user privileges to the owner of the file14:14
MacroManEriC^^: Hmm. Isn't that a little odd for a binary installed from apt?14:15
EriC^^like for instance programs that need to run as root, like the program sudo is setuid and owner root, so when it runs it has the ability even when you the user runs it to behave as if root was using it, so that it can grant you root access if you're in its list14:16
EriC^^MacroMan: nope, maybe since it does system stuff it needs root access14:16
MacroManEriC^^: I'm gonna check on that. Seems a little fishy that a mail sending program needs root14:16
EriC^^probably a good idea, it wont harm if anything14:17
EriC^^yup, google says it uses setuid14:17
MacroManYeah just read that. It's needed to listen on port 2514:18
MacroManThat's not the issue then.14:18
eraserpencil1  Do i follow instructions from here? https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware/Alienware-m15-BIOS-update-for-Linux-compatibility/td-p/624191614:18
EriC^^MacroMan: are any aliases being used somehow? cause bash would look for those first before PATH14:19
MacroManThe main alias used is senbmail. I can see that sendmail -> exim414:19
TJ-EriC^^: is this something like the shell hash table causing the wrong executable to be called/14:19
EriC^^TJ-: i think so, i believe MacroMan said it wasn't being found in PATH14:20
EriC^^MacroMan: what exactly were you typing and what exactly did it say?14:20
TJ-ahhh, possibly update-alternatives ?14:21
MacroManOnly seems to happen when using spawn from Node, but I've verified it's actually calling the right command. Here is the error: spawn sendmail ENOENT14:21
MacroManENOENT means the executable isn't there doesn't it?14:22
TJ-MacroMan: run the process under strace and capture the file-accesses ("strace -f -e trace=file ...")14:23
MacroManTJ-: It'll take me a while to set that up (live website!). But I'll take that route and see where I get. Thank you both for your help.14:24

stavrosEriC^^, it started around the time of my upgrade to 18.0414:59
stavrosIt has been working very well for years14:59
stavrosOr it had14:59
EriC^^oh14:59
stavrosIt's odd, it's like the pool just became super slow, I see 100% utilization on all drives even just writing 2 MB/s15:01

EriC^^eraserpencil1: that's a good one15:11
eraserpencil1what is a good one? the idea to remove all or the idea i added it15:11
EriC^^the one with Windows in it is good15:12
tomreynbut only if the full string is used15:12
tomreynas discussed on TJ's article15:13
EriC^^eraserpencil1: try making it as such acpi_osi="!Windows 2015"15:13

tomreynEriC^^: wouldn't yours exclude windows 2015?15:14
EriC^^tomreyn: i'm not sure to be honest15:15
tomreynmy understanding is that the goal there is to drop all, then add just the windows 2015 one15:15

tomreyneraserpencil1: no, on the botted system15:29
tomreyn*booted15:29
tomreynif the boot is taking more than a few minutes i would just reboot to recovery15:30
tomreyneraserpencil1: this command is part of the acpi_osi.sh script you probably downloaded and ran previously.15:32
tomreynbut it would actually be good to see the system log for the boot you did with acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015"15:34
eraserpencil1but it dosent boot....15:34
tomreynhow far does it get?15:34
eraserpencil1it gets stuck after some [ok]....15:34
eraserpencil1not much help i know, but i cant describe further15:35
EriC^^if it used to boot, after removing what did it stop booting? the acpi=noirq stuff?15:35
eraserpencil1yea15:35
tomreyneraserpencil1: did you drop "quiet splash" off GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub ?15:37
tomreynyou could also add "verbose"15:37
eraserpencil1is there a space between ! and " in acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015"15:38
TJ-eraserpencil1: no15:39
tomreynyes15:39
TJ-eraserpencil1: sorry, YES! I misread15:39
eraserpencil1there should be a space15:39
eraserpencil1ok15:39
tomreynand i meant "debug", not "verbose", sorry15:39
TJ-eraserpencil1: you're adding 2 separate options and all options are space-separated, which is why the 2nd option has to be surrounded in quotes15:39
eraserpencil1let me try that with acpi=noirq and pci=biosirq15:40
TJ-eraserpencil1: since the 2nd option actually has a space in it15:40
cryptodaneraserpencil1: if you have a smartphone take a picture of the stalled boot process and upload it to imgur.com and share the link here to the image15:40
eraserpencil1ok acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" acpi=noirq pci=biosirq has less errors than acpi_osi="Windows 2015" acpi=noirq pci=biosirq15:42
kilde__tomreyen: well, my upgrade failed due to unsigned kernels. Is there a fix for this?15:43
eraserpencil1would there be interests in the dmesg  or should i try out alone acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2015"15:43
eraserpencil1cryptodan: the boot process runs abit then stalls, i might not be able to capture what's successful already in a picture15:44
cryptodanthe failing part should be what you are trying to solve15:45

lotuspsychje!nomodeset | eraserpencil1 can you try that please15:49
ubottueraserpencil1 can you try that please: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter15:49
eraserpencil1tomreyn: ignore_level was something TJ- asked me to add in when we were trying to debug an older bios about a month ago15:50
eraserpencil1I had to leave so it was left unfixed. there was a new bios recently and i thought i might as well give it a try15:50
tomreyneraserpencil1: interesting, i can't seem to find anythong on "ignore_level" on the internet.15:50
eraserpencil1i hope i didnt type it wrong15:51
tomreynTJ-: do you remember?15:51
eraserpencil1tomreyn: but safe to have debug in for now right?15:53
cryptodaneraserpencil1: its having issues finding your nvidia card do you have nvidia in your machine if so is it alive and working here?15:53
eraserpencil1OH15:53
tomreyneraserpencil1: safe, yes, but it could slow down the boot a little. and if you are just amking sure you can boot up at all right now then i'd omit anything that's not strictly needed for a stable boot for now.15:54
eraserpencil1it might not be alive.... in BIOS,the gpu had a weird name. and when i boot to windows, my fans went crazy15:55
tomreyncryptodan: the nvidia card gets no irq due to acpi=noirq, i would guess.15:55
tomreynat least during the boot you probably just looked at15:55
cryptodaneraserpencil1: if the card failed then that maybe why its stalling as it cant find it and is unable to load the nvidia drivers15:56
eraserpencil1oh, the bios just showed the model number of smtg... Nvidia N17E-G2 which google says is a gtx 1070m15:56
eraserpencil1then there is the coffeelake graphics15:56
tomreynso this suggests it's seated properly15:56

TJ-bug #181186916:38
ubottubug 1811869 in linux (Ubuntu) "Alienware m15 takes very long to boot Ubuntu" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181186916:38
TJ-eraserpencil1: I've assigned it to me and I'll keep track as/when ideas occur16:38
lotuspsychjeeraserpencil1: you didnt use ubuntu-bug?16:39
TJ-lotuspsychje: no, I recommended a direct report, there's too much unwanted logs otherwise16:39
lotuspsychjeah sorry didnt read16:39
TJ-eraserpencil1: the first thing you should do is try the latest mainline kernel build and attach its kernel log once it boots so we can see if there are any improvements (booting it without "acpi=noirq pci=biosirq" if possible)16:40
TJ-!mainline | eraserpencil116:40
ubottueraserpencil1: 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/MainlineBuilds16:40
TJ-eraserpencil1: v5.0-rc2 is the one to try16:41
tomreynalso new firmware for the wireless, i guess. i hadn'T noticed this before16:42
thaurwylthSo, would you guys presonally feel that a Windows double boot is needed on a laptop? I guess this is mainly about how much I want to use of that 256 GB for this and that, and also whether there might be some mysterious problems with GRUB acting wonky all of a sudden.16:42
EriC^^thaurwylth: 256gb seems like enough for like non storage kind of stuff16:43
eraserpencil1is upstream kernel mainline kernel16:44
TJ-eraserpencil1: Yes16:44
EriC^^i like windows + linux cause i like using linux daily cause its awesome but i also use windows for programs and stuff that linux doesnt have16:44
TJ-eraserpencil1: Ubuntu provide these builds to make it easier to install for testing16:44
thaurwylthWait a moment... I actually might have a reasonable use case for W10. Yeah. Now that I think about it.16:45
EriC^^plus nobody uses linux so you'd probably a good idea to have windows on in case you need something or your friend does etc16:45
tomreynthaurwylth: it is not unhzeard of that windows upgrades would overwrite grub on the mbr (if you have it there), so be prepared to be able to fix this if you multi boot16:45
EriC^^there are tons, i'm sure you'll run into many in the future as well :)16:45
thaurwylthYeah, I have a USB optical drive on which I can use an Ubuntu Live DVD if all else is of no avail.16:46
thaurwylthAnd I guess Live Stick would be just as fine.16:46
thaurwylthThen you can run GRUB on command line, right?16:46
tomreynusing either, yes16:46
pragmaticenigmathaurwylth: If the laptop is new enough, it may support booting from an external drive connected on the USB port (not a flash/thumb drive, but actual HDD) which you could then boot when you desired, or unplug to boot from the local installed OS16:47
thaurwylthI actually happen to have a couple of powered disk sleds! You know, the ones with a USB 3 adaptor!16:48
thaurwylthI'm well prepared, tee hee.16:48
pragmaticenigmasounds like you have a few projects a head of you then16:48
thaurwylthAnyways, I'll spend some time checking how this thing boots up the native Windows (not done any installations yet). I might come back with more questions when I start doing the actual installation. And... ...16:50
thaurwylth... ... this: https://xkcd.com/349/16:50
thaurwylthIs there #ubuntu-social or #ubuntu-watercooler (not related to harware cooling systems with water pipings)?16:56
tewardthaurwylth: #ubuntu-offtopic for general banter but the CoC applies there too.16:57
thaurwylthArright!16:57
eraserpencil1TJ-: didnt the amd64 build for v5.0-rc2 fail?17:02

sevenelevenif my dns server runs on a different port than 53 do I have to write in /etc/network/interfaces for dns-nameservers also the port or still just the ip17:36
seveneleven?17:36
leftyfbseveneleven: why does your dns server run on a different port?17:37
sevenelevenbecause i use both stubby and bind917:37
sevenelevenbind9 53, stubby 805317:38
leftyfbso switch them17:38
seveneleventhat would defeat the idea of running stubby17:38
leftyfbchanging it's port?17:39
sevenelevenoh you mean switch ports17:39
leftyfbyeah17:39
leftyfbyour endpoint should be on 5317:39
seveneleventhats more work to configure all other clients in the network to listen to bind9 port17:39
sevenelevenonly one client listens to stubby17:39
sevenelevenmore than 5 clients listen to bind9 :-)17:39
sevenelevenI think i need to use dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1:805317:39
leftyfbwhat about running one of them in a container on a different ip, but port 5317:39
seveneleventhat will generate resolv.conf correctly17:40
eraserpencil1TJ-: I believe I'm already at my lastest which is 4.15. The others require llibssl1.1, which is available from bionic onwards. Seeing how i need to be on Xenial, I cant do kernels after 4.1517:40

tomreynDepends: [..] libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0)17:48
tomreynso indeed, i wasnt aware17:48
TJ-eraserpencil1: don't install the -headers package :)17:49
tomreynif you dont need to build kernel modules you can probably get away without installiong this package though17:49
TJ-eraserpencil1: that is only needed if you're going to need to build DKMS modules and so on17:50
eraserpencil1i'm sorry, i might need more help.17:52

eraserpencil1how do i not install the headers package17:52
TJ-eraserpencil1: don't include it's name in the "dpkg -i ..." command17:52
TJ-eraserpencil1: how are you trying to install the packages, what command(s) ?17:53
babuloseothis is why people should learn to compile their own kernel manually17:53

lordcirth_raj, um, why do you have &&'s there?18:44
rajlordcirth_: to break the lines18:44
lordcirth_You are trying to run the command 'libjpeg-dev', not install a package18:44
lordcirth_That's not how && works18:44
tomreynscratch those && other then the very first pair and it should be fine18:44
lordcirth_You can use \ before a newline instead18:45
rajthat's dockerfile syntax for breaking lines18:45
lordcirth_&& means, in practice, 'if the first command succeeded, run the second one'18:45
ioriaand clearly  libjpeg-dev it's not a cmd18:45
lordcirth_Well, as you can see, they are being inserted into the command, not parsed by docker18:45

rajOerHeks: actually found out it still refers to 2 even though there are no python2 dependencies left in a default installation19:44
Kumoolsruli: you can probably use xdotool19:45
sruliKumool: to paste? how?19:46
thaurwylthWhat's a typical disk footprint for Ubuntu (capital U, nothing in front) 18.04 or 18.10? Let's say the regular use for / and /home .19:46
thaurwylthI'm taking /home into this in the sense that at least in the old days many programs and installations used /home to store all sorts of .hidden_stuff there for storing setups, cookies, whatever.19:47
Kumoolsruli: translate this into your shell's syntax ->   IFS='' { xdotool type --window $ID `{ xsel -o } }19:47
sruliKumool: thanks, and how do i exec (call) that line?19:48
Kumoolsruli: isnt the recommended way to export into csv and then import again with all the changes?19:48
Kumoolsruli: you need to find the window ID first, with xprop19:50
sruliKumool: doesnt make a difference, the changes have to be done manually there is no consistency in the data structure so have to manually select whicy text to edit19:50
sruliKumool: i get the window ID with "xdotool getactivewindow"19:51
Kumoolsruli: wont getactivewindow return the current terminal you are running the command in?19:52

Kumooloh, replace the $(xsel -o) to just $sq_out20:12
Kumoolalso you don't need logfiles20:12
Kumoolbut leave that for later, when you're more experienced with shellscript20:12
sruliKumool: without calling xsel? (only using log for testing)20:12
Kumoolquite frankly you're better off asking in #bash20:13
Kumoolpeople are really strict in this channel20:13
Kumoolsruli: the replacement is already saved in $sq_out, so you don't have to call paste...?20:14
sruliKumool: thanks, almost there, log has no more errors, just need to get xsel to put the $sq_out, current output is + xdotool type --window 83908104 '[regreeeg]'20:14
sruliKumool: how would i paste without calling xsel?20:14
Kumoolsruli: you are not pasting with xsel, you are using xdotool type to literally type the string into the window20:16
sruliKumool: its not typing20:16
rbanffy_Is anyone else having problems with bionic Docker images trying to install Python packages from PyPI?20:16
sruliKumool: i mean its not entering the text $sq_out into libre calc20:17
pragmaticenigmarbanffy_: It's best to contact the group responsible for those docker images.20:23
Kumoolsruli: xsel -i should be xsel -o in sq_in i think20:23
ioriaright20:23
sruliKumool: changed that, it still does not replac the text20:26
Kumoolsruli: xsel -d at least removes the text?20:28

adrian_1908Hello. Should /var/log/boot.log usually be empty? I wanted to check plymouth startup messages, as there's some really long line that scrolls by to fast to read.20:50
OerHeksadrian_1908, how do you open it, with sudo?21:01
adrian_1908OerHeks: it shows as 0 size via `ls -l`21:02
=== mkv is now known as m4v
adrian_1908What's your ownership of the file, mine is root:root with 600 permissions. Maybe the owner is wrong?21:03
OerHeksit is owned by root, sudo ls -l would show the real number21:06
OerHeksthat is why i asked; how do you open that file21:07
adrian_1908yeah, I did `sudo cat boot.log`. Either way, via sudo it's listed as empty and prints as such.21:08
OerHeksthat would be not good. it should contain some info21:09
OerHeksso, i think there might be a filesystem issue, so now it is mounted read only21:10
OerHeks?21:10
OerHeksthe command "mount" would tell, or touch filename.txt # and enter21:10
bumbabumbabumbaadrian_1908: perhaps your distro doesn't use boot.log.21:11
bumbabumbabumbajournalctl -b ?21:12
adrian_1908bumbabumbabumba: yeah, that's why I'm asking in Ubuntu channel (I use Xubuntu 18.04). journalctl -b outputs the recent stuff, but is that the same as what plymouth prints (sans the [ OK ] brackets)? I cannot tell since it scrolls by so fast.21:13
adrian_1908One message in plymouth looked very long (out of place) and possibly of interest, so I wanted to investigate.21:14
adrian_1908Anyway, I gotta go to bed soon, will have to come back tomorrow if there's no certain answer right now.21:16

tewardAvidWolf43: by 'localhost' you mean from the server itself.21:36
tewardright?21:36
tewardnot "remotely uploaded"21:36
AvidWolf43yes teward21:37
AvidWolf43i dont want to install a DE for this unless I have to21:37
TJ-AvidWolf43: that should just need an scp transfer as in "scp myfile.p12 user@remotehost:"21:39
AvidWolf43right but [ip]:port gets you to the setup page for the application, once you start integrating with gsuite it requests the .p12 key. It also specifies this will not work from remote, must be done via localhost21:40
TJ-AvidWolf43: sounds crazy!21:43
TJ-AvidWolf43: maybe you do it via an a proxy tunnel using netcat/nc21:43
AvidWolf43yeah basically set up a vpn temporarily for the configuration and kill it when done21:45
TJ-AvidWolf43: as the folks in ##linux are saying, an SSH port-forward should also work, and is easier to set up21:46
AvidWolf43TJ-: thanks21:47
DonaldKBrownHi everyone. I'm trying to upgrade a server I've got that's still running 14.04 to 18.04. I know it has to run through 16.04 first. However, my issue is that running do-release-upgrade says no new release found.21:48
EriC^^DonaldKBrown: what does "grep -i prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" give?21:51
DonaldKBrown# Default prompting behavior, valid options:21:52
DonaldKBrown#Prompt=lts21:52
DonaldKBrownPrompt=never21:52
geniiDonaldKBrown: There is also Prompt=normal  ...which just looks for the next consecutive version to upgrade to21:53
EriC^^DonaldKBrown: you could put Prompt=lts instead of never21:54
DonaldKBrownThanks, guys. I feel dumb now. I wonder how that got set.21:55
former9how can i find file by creation date ?22:05
pragmaticenigmaformer9: take a look at the man page for find: "man find"22:07
thaurwylthHow about my question which is on the web-based log at 19:46? I found out that there is a recommendation of a 25 GB disk. Is this for all of the three, /, /home and swap, and does this division of three even make sense in 2019?22:08
thaurwylthFormer9, also, do you already know what you are looking for, or completely out of the dark?22:08
thaurwylthAnd do you want to find it on GUI or on commandline?22:08
pragmaticenigmathaurwylth: partitioning the drive is personal preference. The recommended 25 GB is a global total22:09
thaurwylthOkeys!22:09
former9thaurwylth, with terminal i want to find22:09
former9i know the creation date of the file22:09
former9so i want to find the lcoation of it22:09
pragmaticenigmathaurwylth: common practice that I do and others is to partition at least /home on it's own. Makes reinstalls and swapping distros easier22:10
pragmaticenigmaformer9: Again: the terminal command "find" does everything you are looking for. You need to read the man page to see what options and parameters you need to give it to find what you are looking for22:10

ubottuformer9 is not a valid distribution: artful, artful-backports, artful-proposed, bionic, bionic-backports, bionic-proposed, cosmic, cosmic-backports, cosmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-proposed, unstable, utopic, utopic-backports, utopic-proposed, vivid, vivid-backports, vivid-proposed, wily, wily-backports, wily-22:10
pragmaticenigmaheh... sorry about that22:11
EriC^^former9: sudo find / -iname "name-of-file"                should do it22:12
former9pragmaticenigma, i didn't say command "find" , i said i want to find ..22:12
EriC^^former9: if you're lucky, "locate name-of-file" will do it too quicker22:12
former9EriC^^, i dont know the name , all i know is creation date22:12
EriC^^oh22:12
EriC^^former9: well find can do that too, look at the man page for mtime and ctime and whatnot22:13
pragmaticenigmaformer9: the command/program "find" is for searching for files using the terminal. AGAIN go to terminal and type "man find" for helpful information on how to use it to search your computer22:13
former9pragmaticenigma, why not giving me the command :/22:14
pragmaticenigmaformer9: because 1) I don't know what it is you are looking for 2) you won't learn anything if you don't read the man page 3) when you don't learn anything, you're back here again asking the same question again22:14
thaurwylthAlso, there might be more than one parameter on the manual page that could be useful. You'll only know which one is the best after you've checked them out, because only you know what you eventually want the search to achieve.22:15
pragmaticenigmaformer9: I live by the "give a person a fish they eat for a day, teach them to fish and they eat for a lifetime"22:16
pragmaticenigmaformer9: once you have read the man page, and have more questions, we can help further. but the basics are all there.22:17
reallymemorableI am running an EC2 instance with Ubuntu and I am trying to `sh` a bash file that takes a long time to run.  I ran `nohup sh filename.sh` but after a while I got this error, which I thought nohup was supposed to address: `packet_write_wait: Connection to 3.16.213.143 port 22: Broken pipe`22:18
former9pragmaticenigma, i already find how to find using modification , but i'm trying to find creation22:18
pragmaticenigmareallymemorable: EC2 instances are not supported here as they installation is not provided by Canonical or Ubuntu.22:19
reallymemorableah ok22:19
reallymemorablethanks22:19
jeremy31TJ-: Any chance you could get this committed upstream for ideapad-laptop https://github.com/jeremyb31/ideapad-laptop/commit/9c89a0c2121601f7975418a5b925d097f198491122:20
TJ-jeremy31: not up to me, you'd need to approach the module maintainer(s)22:22
pragmaticenigmaformer9: creation dates are not tracked by the file system22:22
jeremy31TJ-: I don't have the internet connection to be downloading linux-next to have it committed22:23
admin0hi all .. i am trying to netboot ubuntu ... on the tftpserver, i see that it loads linux and then initrd.gz .. but instead of moving foward, it again downloads linux and then the initrd.gz continously22:23
TJ-jeremy31: you don't need to, just use "scripts/get_maintainers.pl drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.c" and email maintainer(s) listed22:25
TJ-jeremy31: usually it is best to email the given mailing list as a CC too22:25
EriC^^former9: http://moiseevigor.github.io/software/2015/01/30/get-file-creation-time-on-linux-with-ext4/22:26
jeremy31TJ-:  thanks22:27
TJ-jeremy31: it might be in our favour that the first listed maintainer has a Canonical email address - not sure if that person is still active though22:29
jeremy31TJ-: Even tested https://askubuntu.com/questions/1104218/no-wifi-adapter-found-on-new-lenovo-yoga-c930-with-ubuntu-18-10/1104240#110424022:33
AvidWolf43exit22:34
TJ-jeremy31: the patch makes perfect sense and avoids users needing to wait for a hard-coded DMI patch22:35
=== mkv is now known as m4v
kinghatin `dpkg -l` is it possible to show only the packages with a status  of `rc`?22:42
TJ-kinghat: not directly, but: "dpkg -l | grep ^rc"22:43
kinghatso i had to reinstall the DE for kde-neon: `sudo apt install neon-desktop` because for some reason after installed updates and then rebooting it lost itsself? 🤷‍♂️22:46
kinghatanyways, some of my applications were not installed anymore and i can see that using `dpkg -`: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/45a871e3/22:47
kinghatit shows `etcher-electron as not installed but i can launch it no problem.22:47
kinghat`fluxgui` is opening as well.22:48

ubottukinghat: KDE Neon ( http://neon.kde.org/ ) is a KDE project to package the latest stable and development versions of KDE software on top of an Ubuntu base. As it is not an official Ubuntu or Kubuntu project, please use #kde-neon for discussion and support.22:52
kinghatsure but the base is the same. and the packaging is the same. dpkg is the same..22:52
pragmaticenigmakinghat: No they are not, and discussion is not appropriate here. Please, if you have issues with KDE-Neon, use their official help channels for help and discussion.22:53
OerHeksNo, the packages and config is specific their support, under the KDE flag, you would have more chance in #kubuntu22:54
pragmaticenigmaOerHeks: They would not, they will have the same result and be told to go to #kde-neon22:55
kinghatsure but the way dpkg lists things and why is the same.22:55
pragmaticenigmakinghat: Again, this isn't the place for debate or discussion. You have been told were it is appropriate, please go there.22:55
pragmaticenigmakinghat: This channels purpose to support Ubuntu as it is provided through official Ubuntu and Canonical distribution networks and websites. It's community is focused on supporting Ubuntu. Just like it isn't appropriate to go to #debian and ask about ubuntu, It is not appropriate to come here and expect support for kde-neon.22:58
OerHeks KDE neon is however not *compatible* with Kubuntu, as there is vast overlap in the base offerings of both Kubuntu and KDE neon. https://neon.kde.org/faq22:58
OerHeksjust saying, to clarify22:58

ubottukinghat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!23:15
OerHekswrong channel indeed, but interesting23:16
KumoolI fail to see how its off topic when ubuntu is a cancer to the open source world :P23:17
OerHeksi am sure there is an ubuntu.iso involved :-P23:18
OerHeksbut this channel is so buzy, offtopic remarks are confusing.23:18
hggdhKumool: you are free to (1) leave Ubuntu; (2) expose your views on another channel. Please, not here23:18
