Restate it! [00:08] ubuntu 18.04, yesterday i updated my laptop... then rebooted... and now it doesn't load a video driver im guessing because i just goes to a black screen when it should load a disk unlock screen [00:09] Younder: my root drive is encrypted [00:09] rhd: do you know the passphrase?

[01:33] yeah I probably shouldnt, but kind of lazy to make a regular user too since this is just an ephermeral testing box [01:35] !sudo | kantoi [01:35] kantoi: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

[01:44] thank you ryan_ [01:45] Sysiphus: it used to be apt-get ...now you can just use apt [01:46] oh okay good to know, I was concerned it was some sort of signifier telling how agressive to be when installing and overwriting files or something [01:46] Sysiphus: See: https://mvogt.wordpress.com/2014/04/04/apt-1-0/ ; https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/26q2sm/apt_vs_aptget/ . [01:47] Sysiphus, apt has some nicer touches (in my opinion), but there are still (rarely used) things it doesn't have (why apt-get is still around). apt is fine for 99.9% of our tasks though [01:47] "apt=most common used command options from apt-get, apt-cache and apt-config" [01:47] there we go :p [01:47] !rootirc | kantoi [01:47] kantoi, please see my private message [01:48] its fine now kantoi [01:48] kantoi, this is no play channel [01:48] cool :) [01:48] kantoi: your ident worked [01:48] thanks for the resources everybody [01:49] I'm actually quite curious how ubottu knows a particular user is running as root, does it just check for the string 'root' in the ident ?

The problem is this: when i try to convert video on my laptop, my computer shuts down every single time. So I'm converting on my other computer and moving files back to laptop to finish DVD authoring, but I need the files to already be the right video format, because after finishing, DeVeDe does t [08:08] sathya: you're welcome [08:11] roracle: because DeVeDe doesn't ...? [08:11] ducasse: what do you mean? all i'm trying to do is get the videos in the proper format so it doesn't have to convert the videos in the end, as it just overheats and shuts down the system [08:20] roracle: i just wondered if there was an end to that sentence missing [08:21] hi, I just realized that ubuntu's home directory encryption no longer works, i mean, this should have been written in big lines when giving the upgrade for 18.04, but even then, is there an easy to use homed directory encryption anymore? There are cases where one can use different users depending on which roles they are using. What are you people using as alternative to encryptFs? Full disk encryption is not an option if i can't trust each the [08:21] different hat i wear depending on which companies i am working for. [08:21] ducasse: oh, the remainder was "because DeVeDe does the convert thing...and shuts down" [08:22] keiserr: i think 18.04 has home encryption, why do you say it doesnt?

[08:30] This wasn't the case on 16.04 [08:30] i do remember that during the installation, I was asked for the encryption password for the different users. [08:31] aha [08:32] keiserr: you could manually setup the encrypted home dir again [08:32] could it be that the installer than found that encryptfs had some issue and disabled it without asking me? I can understand issues and security flaws, but it just disables it witohut letting me now, i won't be able to react to cope for such things. Anyways this is already done now, If i follow the instructions for ecryptfs-utils cryptsetup, it should be back to normal i guess? [08:33] Hello is there a mail browser that shows threaded emails - AND includes my sent mail when I was the last one in the conversation? Kind of like how outlook 365 does [08:34] keiserr: yeah, i'd copy everything from the home dir to some place, and then recreate the user with home encryption, but make sure everything is copied, as well as maybe files that might be still encrypted, who knows [08:34] it only includes up the the last RECEIVED email in geary and evolution... dont know if there is a setting to include last sent email?

I mean something like fedora "rpm -q tar" producing tar-1.30-6.fc29.x86_64. i'm searching for the last 20 minutes and apt, apt-cache, aptitude and dpkg can do everything you want except simple producing package version My search skills are failing me or the deb system doesn't provide it? [08:52] I need it for a script that has to check a few packages before building some ancient version of spooles - normally autotools would tke case of checking required libraries, but this time I have to do it manually [08:53] ciao! per me è la prima volta in questa chat, che mi è stata consigliata da un mio amico per risolvere eventuali problemi col sistema operativo! [08:53] ho un problema con l'audio qualcuno mi riuscirebbe ad aiutare? === murthy is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ [08:55] !it | luke2596 [08:55] luke2596: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [08:55] thanks [08:55] pefi: apt-cache show should show the version [08:57] EriC^^ thanks, but that shows ton of output. I could filter for Version and hope it's reliable... [08:58] pefi: what exactly do you want to see? if the installed version is adequate? === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as murthy [09:03] EriC^^: Yes, the version is enough. I think I might try: apt-cache show tar | grep Version [09:05] pefi: nah, do apt-cache policy tar | awk '$1 == "Installed:" {print $2}' [09:06] if it's not installed it'll return "none" [09:06] [gone testing] [09:06] pefi: dpkg -l package | grep ^ii | awk '{print $3}' [09:10] Both works as expected! thanks! Is there an easy way of makeing them return erro rexit code $? if the package is not installed? [09:10] Discord (snap package) doesn't have permission to access files in hidden directories. Any solutions? [09:10] I use this: $PACKAGE_TOOL $package ; if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "$PACKAGE_TOOL shows $package is not installed. If you're sure you have it please remove it from DEPENDENCIES"; exit 1; fi [09:10] $PACKAGE_TOOL is distro dependent, $package is the currently tested package [09:11] ducasse: that ii is for installed? [09:11] yep [09:12] nekoseam: talk to the maintainers of the snap [09:15] pefi: you might also want to take a look at apt policy, as that will give you the text 'not installed' if it isn't [09:17] Ok, thanks! [09:18] you should use a function in place of $PACKAGE_TOOL. [09:19] #Ubuntu.. the Only IRC chhannel where people actually chat to each other [09:20] Pfeiffer: there's great channels where you can discuss politics such as ##Linux [09:20] ;) [09:21] nekoseam, thanks! I'll head over there :) [09:35] Hey why does my "timedatectl list-timezones" only list "UTC" or how do I add more timezones? [09:40] Fleuv: is tzdata properly installed? [09:41] fuy [09:41] jij [09:41] jihihih [09:41] gkyfk [09:41] lyig [09:41] uoujkhkkbjkbjkjbjbjkbjkbjk === jonas_ is now known as Guest30877 [09:41] [09:41] hffyfy [09:42] Guest30877: ok, enough of that please [09:42] ducasse, I just did a fresh install of ubuntu bionic beaver [09:42] Shall I ran a dpkg-reconfigure tzdata just to be sure it's working fine? [09:42] worth a shot [09:43] ducasse, aaah it's not installed [09:43] there you go :) [09:44] Thanks :D [09:44] np [09:44] was that a minimal install? [09:45] it's a dependency of ubuntu-minimal, so it should have been there [09:46] Fleuv: you might want to check ubuntu-minimal is installed as well, as there could be other things missing [09:47] i don't know actually, it's an image from my server rental company./ [09:47] Could be customized by them [09:48] mh, based on a cloud image, probably === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [10:08] that encrypt swap script must be run at each boot? [10:08] encryptfs-setup-swap [10:14] good morning :) [10:15] my husband is somehow configuring a new ubuntu 16.04. when he looks where there are supposed to be icons of stuff to download .. there is one row of them and not more. What do we need to do? [10:17] if i remembered what it's called i could do a search [10:18] dock? app drawer? [10:18] chalcedony: or do you mean in the software center? [10:19] probably software center Meili :) [10:19] so why is it empty? [10:20] the editor's picks in software center shows just one row [10:20] ah [10:20] Could you try just starting to type? I believe that automatically opens a search box. [10:21] or click on a category [10:21]
