[00:00] hi, having difficulty understanding the cmake instructions here: [00:00] https://github.com/piclas-framework/piclas/blob/master/INSTALL.md [00:00] specifically [00:01] "Configure the build using CMake; ENABLE_ triggers the build of the corresponding tool." [00:01] what does that mean? [00:01] what command would i use? [00:01] when i use ccmake ../ i'm brought to a GUI that i don't recognise and isn't documented [00:01] please help somebody! [00:11] hey. I managed to configure the fingerprint sensor on Ubuntu. I can log in with it and use it to run sudo commands. However, right after logging in, Ubuntu asks me for my password to unlock the "keyring" or something, making the fingerprint swipe useless. How can I solve this issue? [00:12] It seems it has something to do with this 2008 bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thinkfinger/+bug/276384 [00:12] Launchpad bug 276384 in gnome-keyring-manager "Thinkfinger doesn't unlock keyring" [Medium,Invalid] [01:00] hey all, I have an odd little request... My laptop (HP EliteBook 8570p) has a software-controlled audio mute button.. it has a white and amber LED in it... I want to make it flash or alternate between white and amber when there's something actively using my microphone.. is there any guides on this?

[03:49] if i do `python --version` it comes back with the 2 variant. and `python3 --version` shows the python 3 version. which is the default for the system?

More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [05:47] i don't need to compile it, but I want something a little newer that has improvements/bugfixes for my display/video/graphics card drivers.

More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [05:47] DarwinElf: what version and flavor of ubuntu are you running? [05:47] Kubuntu 18.04 [05:50] and what kernel are you looking to use? [05:50] latest stable that's in the archive linked on that page [05:51] i.e., 4.20.3 [05:51] Exactly which module or patch are you basing this decision on? [05:51] AMDGPU [05:52] there are several improvements for several versions since 4.17 [05:52] which version has the update you need to run? [05:52] 4.18, 4.19, possibly also 4.20, but it's stable anyway [05:52] (i.e. what you're looking to do is not supported. You should only do this if you know exactly what you're doing) [05:53] yeah, it's easy. I've done this on more difficult OSes [05:53] DarwinElf: what exactly is the problem with your current amdgpu? [05:53] well you can read about the various improvements/bugfixes if you want to [05:54] DarwinElf: just please keep in mind that these we *mainline* kernels. No Ubuntu patches or adjustments. [05:54] it's bad enough some GPU things freeze my PC [05:54] s/we/are/ [05:54] what are 'Ubuntu patches or adjustments?' I hadn't usually used an OS that does that at all [05:56] DarwinElf: are you affected by an existing bug on amdgpu? [05:57] DarwinElf: there are local patches applied to the kernels at Ubuntu, or specific kernel options. The mainline kernels are expected to be used to *test* if an issue is caused by the local patches, or is present in the upstream code [05:57] DarwinElf: also before playing with kernels, i would compare the amdgpu driver vs the amdgpu from amd as a test [05:57] oh. I can wait if I have to [05:58] i have the one from AMD. Still I think it may use part of what's in the kernel [05:58] DarwinElf: so, what was wrong with the one from ubuntu? [05:58] i.e., I have AMDGPU-PRO... but it's far from perfect [05:59] there are several improvements for several versions since 4.17, it's bad enough some GPU things freeze my PC [06:00] DarwinElf: on both amdgpu drivers the same problems? [06:01] i'm using the compute drivers, which are only in AMDGPU-PRO. I just didn't know maybe that the Free/Libre/Opensource display part of the driver is not at all used at the same time [06:02] DarwinElf: also, are you sure its your graphics card that makes system freeze, and not kubuntu eyecandy that lags? [06:03] it's certain computing only that makes it freeze. I have most 'eyecandy' turned off [06:03] DarwinElf: have you tested for example a 18.04.1 ubuntu-desktop on gnome? [06:03] i'm not going to [06:04] do you know what I mean by graphics computing? The display is not even involved [06:04] now I see I could upgrade from 18.04 to 18.04.1 if I don't already have that [06:05] actually I apparently my more specific version already is 18.04.1 [06:05] DarwinElf: its your system, you can decide what to test and whatnot [06:06] DarwinElf: my point is, we have many users with stock amdgpu working nicely by default here [06:08] that's not what my point is. I'm using AMDGPU-PRO to use the GPU as a CPU. With only certain programs that do that, sometimes it eventually freezes. This is a different issue than the other users [06:09] DarwinElf: if you need help debugging it more, can you provide us your logs/errors? [06:10] i don't know where the logs are. Anyway I found out there have been several new releases of AMDGPU-PRO since then. I'll try one of those. So were people saying, if I use that, it doesn't use the plain AMDGPU at all, so it can't be related to that? [06:11] if I find the logs I'll ask on a forum related to the specific software === andyhuzhill_ is now known as andyhuzhill [06:11] if it even happens after the upgrade [06:12] DarwinElf: the upgrade to?

[10:28] in which case you don't need to restart anything. btw PATH should not be listing the binary directly, but it's conaining directory. [10:28] yes I know [10:28] the question is why it doesn't see it [10:28] what are you doing exactly so it "doesn't see it"? [10:29] is the binary executable? [10:29] blackflow: in that folder which I exported to PATH there is a binary, let;s say spec-gcc [10:29] so I call it from shell now simply by : spec-gcc [10:29] and get command not know ;/ [10:29] is it executable?

[10:46] blackflow, I'm using GNOME Tweaks and the Compose Key is set to Right Alt.

[10:47] blackflow, the Compose Key does work with Plasma and Englightenment however but not with GNOME Shell. [10:48] hexhaxtron: do you even need the compose key? the alt-gr key works on keyboards that support those characters in their alt positions, without configuring anything special in tweaks [10:48] like this: ç [10:48] standard qwertz keyboard, bionic, nothing special configured [10:48] hi, I need an app to take a screenshot of a whole webpage [10:48] blackflow, yes, I need it. I'll try changing it to for example right ctrl. [10:48] what would you recommend? [10:49] hexhaxtron: the reason I ask is because alt-gr already does that and if you define it as "Compose key", it might stop doing that [10:49] frad: firefox' own screenshotting tool [10:49] blackflow, I'm using Programmer Dvorak as the keyboard layout by the way. [10:50] blackflow, I changed it to right ctrl and it's the same thing. [10:50] hexhaxtron: I'm not sure I can help you with that then, sorry. [10:50] blackflow, any linux based solution? [10:50] frad: firefox works on linux. [10:52] blackflow, sorry, ill rephrase. A work colleage works with IE and needs a screenshot of a backup directory. Years ago I used a cross platform program to screenshot whole webpages, but I forgot its name [10:52] that makes even less sense. [10:53] you want to screenshot a web page? to even see it you need a browser. so, like, firefox. and firefox has the buit-in tool that can save the entire web page as an image file. [10:53] unless you mean something completely different by "screenshot whole webpages" [10:54] (and FF is cross platform) [10:57] blackflow, I see, I saved the page as a pdf file [10:58] frad: so, you wanted PDFs and not "screenshots" which are commonly known as images? there's a webkit based command line tool that can convert html to pdf but it's..... flaky.

Ideally I would have the whole page as a jpg or png or whatever, but printing the page to pdf works also === mg7 is now known as anygoodone [11:00] seems to me you want something that you can automate from a command line, since you're avoiding the most obvious and natural solution: the web browser itself.

[12:11] otherwise, running screen is a foreground task, so Type=simple should in theory be the correct type. forking is for forking daemons that exit after spawning children [12:14] i need help installing my rtl-sdr [12:20] blackflow, it's because it would be good to access the screen and see the output there - for debuging purposes [12:20] the script prints content and sends it preformatted to the desired email [12:20] radkos: stdout is logged by journal anyway, so you can see its output that way. [12:22] radkos: unless that is some interactive program that might require you to reattach later and.... interact with it, just use a service for the perl script directly. stdout is logged. otherwise, you might wish to drop that -d from screen invocation and let it remain in the foreground [12:22] _or_ use type=forking but I have no idea howthat would affect screen. it was never designed to be run like that.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [14:03] goodmorning, tryng to reinstall apache2 i broke my vps. i did purge for apache2 and apache2-util and then if i try to install apache2 again with apt-get i get this error message https://arin.ga/bNmQ1C [14:03] skela_: what is your ubuntu and kernel version please? [14:04] lotuspsychje, ubuntu 16.04 and 4.15.0-43-generic kernel [14:05] #tomreyn, lol missclick, sry [14:05] skela_: dependency problems often occur when adding external ppa's, do you have some added? [14:08] lotuspsychje, no ppa installed i get all errors after apache2 purge [14:10] blackflow: i tried, doesnt work eiter, weirdly ip addr shows the interface as 'rename4', not sure why [14:10] but its still bound to wrong mac/nic [14:10] skela_: did you run apt update? [14:10] hggdh, yes, nothing to do.. i get the same error [14:11] dirtwash: can you pastebin relevant configs and explanation what _exactly_ are you trying to achieve? is it just a revert to old ethX name scheme? [14:11] Hey, I'm making a bootable flash drive for an old ubuntu sys. I believe I need to have it have a bootable flag else the flash drive won't boot. [14:12] So what I'm doing is using fdisk to create a flash drive with one MBR parition with a bootable flag on [14:12] then using dd to write not to sdX but to sdXN [14:13] What do you think of this approach? I feel that it's the wrong way to use dd and it'll undo the bootable flag anyway [14:13] zipper: how old? Ubuntu ISOs already contain all the partitioning and flags required for booting. you can't dd an ISO designed like that, to a partition, won't work. [14:13] blackflow: nvm found a workaround [14:13] thanks [14:14] there is no way to fix that? https://arin.ga/bNmQ1C [14:14] blackflow: Well I'm not sure how old. It's a HP 290 G1 microtower https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-290-g1-microtower-pc/16665152 [14:15] skela_: the thing there is figuring out what is wrong in your server [14:15] When I try to use a bootable flash drive that I created using dd it just won't work idk why. [14:15] Like I select in the bios to boot it but it boots the same old thing. [14:15] zipper: I meant Ubuntu. you said "old ubuntu sys" and I assumed you wanna install an earlier version of Ubuntu [14:15] hggdh, the issue appear after run this: sudo apt remove --purge apache2 apache2-utils [14:15] blackflow: Oh the ubuntu sys is 14.04 [14:16] *14.01 [14:16] that line broke my server, should i reinstall a new os? [14:16] skela_: do you have the repositories bionic-updates and bionic-security enabled? [14:16] It's biolinux really which is based on 14.01 [14:16] zipper: otehrwise, if the BIOS of that machine is unable to boot from USB (and older ones, like 10-ish years ago or more), then there's nothing you can do [14:16] hggdh, how to check that? i'm in 16.04 [14:16] heh... 15-ish years or more. I keep forgetting it's already 2019 [14:17] It's an i5 so I think it can boot a flash drive. It does show up in the options [14:18] zipper: have you ruled out the possibility that the USB drive is broken, the image you dd'ed corrupted? [14:18] blackflow: I haven't [14:19] I'll try with a different flash drive. [14:19] the image could be crap tbh [14:19] skela_: something does not match. The packages that fail to install belong to *bionic*, not xenial [14:19] skela_: you can verify that by running rmadison apache2-utils, for example [14:20] skela_: maybe also pastebin us your sources.list please? [14:21] hggdh, i am unable to install anything i can run rmadison [14:22] lotuspsychje, sources.list here https://arin.ga/MJuS1K [14:25] skela_: software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu [14:26] skela_: there you go. Your sources.list is sort of weird. Pretty much the ONLY pockets you have enabled are the security ones. [14:27] skela_: you are on a digital ocean VPS i presume? [14:27] lotuspsychje, yes [14:27] skela_: and the sources.list has been manually changed, it is not the expected default on DO [14:27] i will create a new vps [14:28] skela_: and, finally, you seem to be running Bionic (18.04) [14:28] Ahh, what a messy situation with the nvidia-410 drivers in the graphics repo [14:29] Evie: whats happening? [14:30] Seems like the nvidia-driver-410 depends don't quite line up [14:30] Evie: wich graphics card chipset do you have please? [14:30] Lik 410.78 desired vs 410.89 to be installed [14:30] nVidia GTX 1060 [14:30] (the other machine is a GTX 960) [14:31] The end-goal is to have CUDA running as well as the i386 compatibility libraries for OpenGL [14:31] Evie: try to purge 410 and try 415 [14:31] Roger roger [14:32] Evie: if that doesnt work come back to us ok [14:32] Sure [14:32] Evie: wich ubuntu version are you on? [14:33] 18.04 [14:33] Evie: allright thanks, also make sure your system is up to date [14:33] (rolls back to 16.04) [14:34] (just kidding) [14:38] I'm downloading the 415 drivers now [14:38] Hello, I have a small question. A while ago, I removed the standard programming interface for Python. Now I want it back. What is the package name? Can I install it via the software centre or what is the name for the terminal installation? [14:38] Evie: with downloading you mean the ubuntu graphics ppa right? [14:38] After purging nvidia-dkms-410 nvidia-kernel-common-410 nvidia-kernel-source-410, which I think I had installed for the nVidia CUDA repo, I'm back on track with the graphic repo [14:39] Yeah, out of the ubuntu graphics ppa [14:39] Evie: ok good [14:40] I suspect something isn't right in the nvidia repo from nvidia proper for cuda [14:42] I'm just going to excise their repo and stick to the .run file provided for now [14:44] well, it's reboot time. Moment of truth. [14:45] Hello, lads. I've experienced some random crashes on my Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS... After I stopped using any gnome-shell extensions, I think everything's back to normal. Do you a know a fix about this problem? There're some JS errors in the log files. [14:47] Hi Ubuntu freeze when I open programs [14:53] Hello, I am going into.emergency mode [14:53] NVIDIA-SMI 415.27 Driver Version: 415.27 CUDA Version: 10.0 [14:53] Thanks lotuspsychje [14:53] And file system check reaches 50.2% and again puts me to emergency mode [14:53] hi [14:54] (from nvidia-smi after booting) [14:54] Ubuntu 18.10 [14:56] sjoshi: seeing the actual errors (a picture of the screen and the erors its showing) would be helpful, because we need to figure out *why* you're dropping to emergency mode first :P [14:57] Hello, I have a small question. A while ago, I removed the standard programming interface for Python. Now I want it back. What is the package name? Can I install it via the software centre or what is the name for the terminal? [15:05] teward: it is due to.corrupt file system [15:05] It drops me to the root prompt [15:07] Fsck says /dev/sda9 is mounted [15:12] After logging in I get this "INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks" [15:32] sjoshi: you should not run fsck on a mounted file system. there is one exception, twhich is a read-only (ro) mounted file system you just cannot scan otherwise, usually that's only / (but scanning it from a live system may be better). [15:33] tomreyn: any other method, i can try.I dont have a live disk [15:34] sjoshi: i assume your /dev/sda9 is what contains / (the file system root). if so, and since it (based on what you reported) seems to fail during the read-only fsck it performs automatically at boot, scanning it from a live system is necessary. [15:34] Hmm ok, single user mode will help? [15:35] tomreyn: [15:35] sjoshi: you really should always have a live / installer system of the same ubuntu version handy, or at least have a way to produce one while your computer no longer boots. [15:35] Hmm Agree! [15:35] sjoshi, single will mount rw, iirc [15:35] sjoshi: the automatic fsck of / performed during boot does take place during what used to be single user mode. so this won't help. [15:36] sjoshi: is this a dual boot system by chance? [15:37] and do you have a usb attachable storage you could store a live system / installer on? [15:38] Dual boot yes, usb stick need to check [15:39] I would need to create a live USB by logging into other operating system [15:39] sjoshi: if you have a usb storage you can use, boot into the other OS, download the ubuntu 18.10 live / installer iso and use https://etcher.io to write it to the usb storage. [15:39] And then perform disk check [15:40] Hmm let me see [15:40] interesting [15:40] Can anyone help explain and possibly help fix why; When I use terminal to SSH into a local network machine, that it asks me for credentials of root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ?????? [15:42] fuxaches, use ssh user@server-ip [15:43] sjoshi: you can then override boot device order during boot (consult your mainboard manual on how to do this, usually ayou will need to press some Fnn function key), and boot off this usb storage. once it's booted, choose to "try ubuntu" and then run e2fsck -f against the ubuntu / partition [15:44] sjoshi: you may also want to add the -p option to e2fsck. consider also running it against all other ext* file systems which are part of the ubuntu installation, such as /boot (if separate) [15:44]
