[00:08] Is there anything I can do about my VM? When I boot up, before it can get to the login screen, it just says "started bpfilter". This is lubuntu [00:08] The dell laptop says it has nividia mx 150 and intel vga. How can I tell which video is the hdmi port. Intel uhd graphics 620.

From there, I typed WaylandEnable=false [00:22] I now see more text after a reboot, but it still stops at "Started bpfilter" [00:22] @OerHeks [00:25] Oh actually that was from me pressing Esc at the lubuntu loading frame.

[02:05] margaritamike: optical drive [02:08] EriC^^, Yes that does the trick. Now it dont automount anymore ;) But thunar dont recognize the device anymore. earlier days I could after clicking on that device mount it. now its empty. [02:09] but think it better than automount it on this slow userspace thing [02:09] dreamon: ok so now check gvfs for its auto mount settings [02:10] or maybe something else is calling it too [02:10] where can I find those settings? [02:10] read about how gvfs works, does it do automounting? [02:12] dreamon: is it just 1 usb? i think "udisks" if you press on the cog for settings it has a "automount" option you can disable [02:13] it's filesystem specific though [02:14] i think udisks is doing the automounting or requesting it or something and gvfs is mounting [02:15] dont know where.. reading manuals to find out. since a few weeks it mount everything to /media/usb1-9 it didnt do before. [02:16] all usb device were outmounted not only device. [02:16] sometimes it mounted same devices twice. [02:16] dreamon: i think you can make a udev rule that tells it to "do nothing" when a usb is plugged in [02:17] cause udev -> udisks -> dbus -> gvfs [02:17] im reading here https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/8159/mounting-usb-disks-automatically-how-it-works [02:18] here I found something > https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/XQ5yWpvdcr/ [02:19] good [02:19] EriC^^: i'm back [02:19] i booted it [02:19] margaritamike: ok does it have network access?

[08:36] Yes its on the bottom of my first paste: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9FqKnm2Y55/ [08:37] Fleuv: oh, but this is a laptop you use with a graphical display, right? why dont you use network manager? [08:37] Not sure what you mean with that tomreyn. I thought I was using network manager though. [08:39] Fleuv: network manager won't be managing your network interface if configurations for the same network interface are found in /etc/network/interfaces [08:40] Fleuv: nmcli | pastebinit [08:40] Fleuv: note this will disclose info on your local network setup [08:41] tomreyn, didn't i share those already? :D [08:44] Hello [08:44] hi [08:44] tomreyn, here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y3hVSgdxMK/ [08:45] welcome QLAO lpoulle what can we do for you guys?

[08:47] Govu: feel free to share us the bug# afterwards, volunteers can take a look for you [08:50] lotuspsychje Thanks, sure I will share. Just need a lot of time to read how to do it! [08:50] Govu: from a terminal: ubuntu-bug your-package [08:50] Fleuv: so you can see there that network manager does not manage your ethernet nic [08:51] Fleuv: if you want ti managed by NM, remove the configurations off /etc/network/interfaces [08:52] tomreyn, I guess I want so. ti = it ? [08:52] Fleuv: right [08:52] tomreyn, rm -rf /etc/network/interfaces [08:52] Fleuv: i generally type too fast and don't check before i hit enter, bad habit. [08:53] Hehe occasionally i do have the same [08:53] Fleuv: deleting it is not strictly necessary, but is an option [08:53] Fleuv: just renaming it is another [08:54] Fleuv: then: systemctl restart network-manager === messer440 is now known as Guest17420 [08:54] Yes [08:54] tomreyn, both network manager and networking are running now [08:55] Fleuv: does the ethernet interface now show up on the applet? [08:55] tomreyn, but I don't see any possibility to activate my wired networking [08:55] so no it doesn't [08:56] lshw -C network still shows the same [08:56] Fleuv: oh you didnt reboot since you closed the lid, right? [08:56] Fleuv: please do, if you didnt [08:57] Okay but usually if I now reboot it starts working again [08:57] Because now I got everything connected [08:58] Fleuv: okay, this is really not about bringing things back after lid closing, yet, this is just to make sure you can manage everything from network manager [08:58] tomreyn, I will turn off my wifi and disconnect my cable and reboot. Back in a sec [08:58] Ooh okay [08:59] Anyway cya in a bit [09:02] lotuspsychje I am trying to follow steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection under section "In case at least one of the Touchpad features work, but does not work correctly and as expected". In ubuntu-bug your-package, I don't know what's your-package that handles touchpad. Isn't it the kernel? So, I don't know how to do what you h [09:02] ave suggested. [09:03] hi, back once again [09:05] tomreyn, i tried the following and NM seems to be functioning perfectly: boot without wifi on or cable connected, wake up from sleep mode without wifi on or cable connected. After boot or wake up it started the wifi as well as the wired connection without any problems. [09:08] tomreyn, this is probably the fix i have been searching for, I guess the problem should be fixed now. Thank you very much! [09:08] Fleuv: good, can you show "lshw -C network --numeric" now? i still haven'T seen this for your NIC [09:08] Fleuv: oh, okay, well come back if it turns out not to be [09:08] Aaah yes sure [09:10] tomreyn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Pd84qNxkx4/ [09:10] Govu: bug it against linux: ubuntu-bug linux [09:11] Govu: after that it will transfer you to launchpad, add your story and details to the bug description so the devs can findout whats happening [09:11] Fleuv: okay cool. so enx00133b9bfe41 is the neame of your ethernet interface now, not eth0 [09:11] Aah that makes way more sense xD [09:30] lotuspsychje Thanks, I have submitted the bug, Bug #1812356 [09:30] bug 1812356 in linux (Ubuntu) "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint vertical pointer speed is very low" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1812356 [09:34] hi [09:36] i have a question [09:36] go ahead [09:37] i cannot see icons in the filebrowser of my ubuntu machine.

[10:41] boy did 14.04 suck [10:41] emilsp: it was dmesg --tail or something [10:42] man dmesg [10:53] emilsp: I think easiest would be "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" [10:55] thanks, TJ- [10:57] emilsp: that does rely on rsyslogd working and there being a writable /var/log and space left though :) [10:59] do all versions of linux use apt [11:00] There Is an Occupation Government: https://www.bitchute.com/video/U765rBfCyRbW/ [11:02] danknight: no, not all linux distributions use apt for package management.

[11:17] Hi, is it possible to password protect a usb that I could use on my Linux system and that I could use on Windows computers for which I do not have admin passes? [11:18] uio: sounds like you're inferring it'd be encrypted in some way [11:19] TJ-: Sure. Or just so some random person can't find it and open all the files. I use a usb for work and I always worried it'll be stolen or something and I'll lose sensitive infos. [11:19] TJ-: Ecyption or password protected.... or maybe that's the same thing?? [11:20] It looks like veracypt only works if on has the admin passes. [11:21] And Bitlocker is only for Windows (and is closed source....) [11:21] TJ-: (regarding the udev rule because of the eth firmware): how do I find out if my systems renames the interface at boot? [11:21] or maybe using the ethtool at this time is too early to set the mode? [11:22] oh wait, when is this udev rule executed? [11:22] because I always have my laptop booted (and logged out), then I plug in the docking station. [11:22] so its not present at boot time [11:22] fub: We need to capture the full udev activity when the device is inserted [11:23] TJ-: device is inserted = eth cable plugged in or the docking station plugged in? [11:23] fub: udev receives events from the kernel when device status changes (add/change/remove etc) and executes all matching rules [11:23] ok [11:23] how can I watch/monitor/log this events? [11:23] fub: you can test your idea by replacing the ethtool command with one that simply creates a tell-tale file e.g. "touch /device_rule_triggered" [11:24] then, after inserting the device, if that file exists you know the rule is triggering [11:25] is there any way to get emacs-26-lucid on ubuntu? [11:25] there was a ppa but it doesnt seem to be available for cosmic [11:25] madsj, emilsp thanks [11:27] TJ-: okay, will do this === messer440 is now known as Guest71987 [11:28] question: acpi shows 2 batteries while upower shows only BAT0 and my mouse etc - does anyone know why? BAT0 from ACPI does not seem to exist and BAT1 is BAT0 of upower [11:31] !acpi | solars [11:31] solars: to debug ACPI issues on ubuntu make sure your bios is up to date and follow the procedure here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI [11:34] 'Morning folks === hussan is now known as t0th_- === m is now known as Guest87657 [12:12] Hello. I’m trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 MATE on a laptop, boot the official iso from USB, choose “try without installing” but have to add “nomodeset” kernel param to successfully boot. Now I have only a 1024x768 resolution. `lspci` says it’s a “00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03)” and it worked fine on at [12:12] least 8.04, 10.04 and 12.04 before. [12:12] What do I have to do to get the full screen resolution? [12:16] `apt search intel`: xserver-xorg-video-intel/bionic,now 2:2.99.917+git20171229-1 amd64 [installed] [12:16] (That’s still on live USB.) [12:19] #1767808 maybe? [12:21] I mean https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1767808 [12:21] Launchpad bug 1767808 in linux (Ubuntu) ""drm timed out" with driver i915 + Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics with Kernel 4.15" [Medium,Confirmed] [12:24] I got a prompt saying "A new LTS version is available, do you want to upgrade?" and I clicked "Yes". But I want to cancel it now, is there a way? I think it might be in the process of just downloading right now, though I don't see any window, everything's happening in the background, presumably [12:25] vlt: Yes, adding "video=SVIDEO-1:d" works. No "nomodeset" needed anymore. [12:27] peey: braking an lts upgrade is not a really good idea [12:28] latuspsychje: oops. I just found the software updater window, and it had a stop button, so I clikcked it. [12:29] peey: oh, you didnt actually start the upgrade yet? [12:29] lotuspsychje: I'd clicked yes on the prompt and it asked for my password, but I'm guessing that it had to download things before it could proceed with the upgrade [12:30] peey: it probably updated update-manager, can you recall that? [12:31] peey: maybe take a look in your dpkg logs, you can see there what it installed and whatnot [12:32] lotuspsychje: I'll do that [12:33] It did change my background back to the ubuntu default background, and my background changing app (variety) doesn't work anymore. I think I might have to log out and log back in again. [12:34] peey: whats the reason you deciced to cancel an upgrade? [12:37] lotuspsychje: It comes with the overhead of fixing broken things and getting familiar with a new dekstop environment. I'd do it later when I have more time. [12:38] peey: its reccomended you backup data and fix broken packages first indeed [12:49]
