[00:00] so I have to add nomodeset after "quiet splash" or instead? [00:01] arpad2: oh you don't have this already? [00:01] thought you did [00:01] oh you have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" - effectively same result [00:03] arpad2: try this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.modeset=0 nvidia-drm.modeset=1" and this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [00:03] ok === eGod is now known as RaptorJesus [00:13] tomreyn: it's working! thanks!🙂 [00:14] so, was this optimus specific issue? [00:16] though Nouveau is in use, hopefully it will work with Nvidia as well [00:38] arpad2: at least we got noveau working, nice. === svetlana is now known as Sveta [00:43] Question. What determines what version of clang is pinned to 'clang' package/ [00:43] I notice that installing 'clang' on ubuntu 16.04 gives me clang 6. But 7 is available in the repo. [00:43] tomreyn: yes, Thank you! I will try Nvidia another day. So in every new distro these grub settings might change. [00:44] wait did I say 16.04, I meant 18.04 [00:46] arpad2: basically, yes. ideally, though, and if the hardware manufacturers cared enough about it, software and drivers would work uot of the box. [00:52] Does the Xfce (or it could be some GNOME derived thing, what do I know) Minesweeper have any keyboard keys useful for controlling? I have this Thinkpad touchpad and it has a pretty frustrating feature. Occasionally it takes a no matter how careful and precise left click to mean a right click. It would be nice if there was some way of controlling the Minesweeper with keys instead of the emulated mouse. [00:55] AlexMax: the packagers. clang is probably a meta package which defines what gets installed by default. apt-cache show clang | grep -E '^(Version.*|Source.*|Depends.*|)$' [00:55] *nods* [00:56] AlexMax: you can then probbaly switch between which of your installed clang compilers will be used by the "clang" command using update-alterantives. this would list any switchable commands: update-alternatives --get-selections | grep clang [00:57] (you may also want to look for *llvm*) [00:59] 07IABE3MN 7JTAA591Y Noisette Noisette_ Noisette__: would one user suffice for your needs? [01:01] thaurwylth: maybe it interprets a long click as right click there? i think this can be disabled, if so. you'd then need to use the right click button, but maybe this would be acceptable? [01:02] this said, i'd totally recommend a mouse for this important office task. [01:04] Currently I'm sitting in a configuration where USB mouse is not going to be feasible. I'll need to think about those pad gesture things. I have not felt like there's any particular pattern, mainly through web use, this Minesweeper case I noticed only just now. [01:04] But that not noticing any pattern thing might be simply because I didn't know what to look for. [01:07] IMHO the upgrade from lxd-3.0.2 to 3.0.3 broke my ability to launch containers with local profiles. How can I get the previous version back for testing? If I do an apt-cache madison lxd I only get offered lxd-3.0.0 and 3.0.3 ... downgrading to 3.0.0 fubars the installation completely [01:16] Dang. If I download clang/llvm from the llvm project, I can't convince it to fit into update-alternatives [01:55] <7JTAA591Y> fakirs [01:56] 7JTAA591Y: can we help you with something?

Right now I have to type into GRUB a few commands when it comes up to decide between Windows and Ubuntu. [02:22] is there any other utilities other than gnome-disks and unetbootin to make a iso thumb drive? [02:23] DoctorMilwaukee, have you tried to use dd command? [02:25] sn09smc: no but i'm about to :0 [02:25] ;) [02:25] how do you do it? or do you want me to man it? [02:25] DoctorMilwaukee, are you using Ubuntu and putting a Linux iso on a thumb drive? [02:26] sn09smc: yes [02:26] is "Ubuntu for mobile" considered stable [02:26] DoctorMilwaukee, ok, hold on. I'll find my reference link... [02:27] also is it able to run XORG applications such as KDE Kate, Dolphin, Android Studio, and so on [02:27] or can it only run the standard Android applications and no actual XORG applications [02:27] DoctorMilwaukee: personally i use https://etcher.io [02:28] DoctorMilwaukee, this is an OK explanation of it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media#Using_dd [02:28] Basically I do 'lsblk' without the USB in to see my partition. Then plug in the flash drive, do 'lsblk' again, see what's new. The size should match you thumb drive [02:29] sn09smc: tomreyn ty [02:29] Some systems will randomly have problems with booting from a 32 GB stick, but that will be found out only later. [02:29] this douns good, yes. dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdx status=progress oflag=sync [02:29] *sounds [02:30] then I do 'sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress' where /dev/sdX is the partition from lsblk. [02:30] I've used the same terrible 4GB thumbdrive for KDE Neon, Elementary, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu MATE, Solus, several others, installing or live booting on multiple PCs, no problems. [02:34] how do you list drives with fdisk -l ??? [02:36] in a tty/terminal [02:36] where "drives" refers to "hard disk drives"?

[10:37] it could be used in x64 OSes [10:39] I am thinking about higher years support by using more bits and also more bits to match all OSes flags and have spare ones for future use === M_A_Y_A_T is now known as m_A_y_A_t [10:49] marcoagpinto: ext4 is expected to be followed by btrfs [10:50] btrfs? [10:50] what is that? [10:50] :) [10:51] !btrfs [10:51] Btrfs is a filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is not recommended by default, and should not be used for important data.

[10:59] given the orders of magnitude i've seen storage increase by in the past 20 years, i think a thousand years is over optimistic [10:59] s/system/filesystem/ [10:59] blackflow: I can only ask in a thousand years if more bits are added the the filesystem's year [10:59] my first PC with a hard drive had 75mb of storage. My current storage is at about 200TB [10:59] 2300 or so is the limit for ext4? [10:59] Cheez: since 128-bit fs can literally have more than two files for each atom in the known universe.... I find that moer than sufficient for the next millenium [11:00] bee sides, unlike ipv4, there are no rollout/deployment problems with FS. when the time comes, new stuff will be an apt install away.

[11:15] 1069620 and 1069621. [11:16] since there's no chdir in the script, I'm assuming it's a fail of the thttpd binary? probably PATH issues? [11:16] Yeah, let add PATH inside /etc/rc.local.. [11:17] well.... no, you're doing it wrong [11:17] Then? [11:17] you really need a proper service unit. also is the process running any privsep? if not, you'll have ot run it as a proper user as well [11:17] Also, same error: chdir: No such file or directory. Also, "chdir" is a C function. [11:19] skyroveRR: at which point one should ask which file or directory is apparently missing? [11:19] is there a logfile with more info? [11:21] Well, thttpd is a rather tiny server. [11:21] It isn't going to give you a shitload of logs. [11:21] The thing worked fine on ubuntu 12.04 when I had placed it inside /etc/rc.local. [11:22] Now afte upgrading the server, I'm finding it to be a pain to run my scripts. [11:22] Also, you mentioned about creating a service file. Let me try that. [11:22] skyroveRR: things evolve. you should now run services as systemd services. writing the unit files is very easy, look up some guides [11:22] systemd is default from 15.04 [11:22] not wise to keep it running on 16.04 [11:22] skyroveRR: but for starters you should find out which file or directory it is failing on. perhaps strace the thing from that rclocal. use -o for strace to divert it into a file [11:22] but anyway since that's not a regular Ubuntu package, it's not supported here and this is becoming offtopic. [11:23] lotuspsychje: 16.04 is still fully supported LTS [11:24] blackflow: i know, but to keep the rc local way on xenial is bit challenging right? [11:24] ah you meant not wise to "keep using rclocal", yeah I agree [11:24] rclocal is deprecated [11:25] hello [11:25] HI folks [11:25] welcome hugo_ what can we do for you? [11:25] nothing [11:26] hello [11:32] skyroveRR: steal from here: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/452206/ [11:35] Hmm, chdir fails to change to the directory even when the directory exists, in the strace report: chdir("/home/*user*/dir") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... [11:37] blackflow: ok, I'll check that out if the -D option doesn't work. [11:37] Ok, it didn't work. [12:02] hi [12:02] does any of you have a thinkpad x240 lenovo? [12:03] ask your question mattia_ [12:03] does any of you have a thinkpad x240 lenovo? [12:04] mattia_: your real question, meaning whats your issue exactly? [12:04] installed ubuntu 18.04 but the notebook is slow. While with 16.04 it is very good. I also noticed that it warms up a lot more [12:05] sorry for my low english [12:05] mattia_: what are your system specs on your lenovo? [12:05] mattia_: would you like support in another language better? [12:05] italian?

I have [12:27] Intel® HD Graphics for Intel® Celeron® Processor N3000 Series [12:28] i965-va-driver ? [12:36] guys?! Is Ubuntu 18.10 Server paid? It says in the site "5 years of free updates blah blah" [12:36] just wondering [12:36] marcoagpinto: no, it isn't paid. [12:36] It's free. [12:36] marcoagpinto: no, only ESM is paid [12:36] !esm | marcoagpinto [12:36] marcoagpinto: Canonical offers paid extended security support for end-of-life LTS releases through the Ubuntu Advantage program. For more information, see https://ubuntu.com/esm . ESM is not an Ubuntu community offering; please direct questions about it to Canonical directly.

[12:42] on Ubuntu 18.04.1, I'm getting the error "Unable to lock - Lock was blocked by an application" [12:42] is there a way to (a) find out which app and (b) configure Gnome to ignore it and lock anyway? [12:43] blackflow: I've observed this: when I try to tell thttpd.service to run on boot, it fails with that chdir: no such file or directory, but when I start it manually with systemctl start thttpd.service, it starts fine. I just don't get it. [12:44] skyroveRR: run as same user? [12:44] As root? [12:44] I'm running it as a normal user, with sudo. [12:44] oh wait, you said manually via systemctl, so in both cases the same unit is used? [12:45] Yeah. [12:45]
