[00:07] <some> the tor client is running an error msg when i run it after boot. only runs after i kill the tor process
[00:09] <tomreyn> !details | some
[00:11] <some> in top window it is labled pid #760 the
[00:11] <some>                user is Debian-+ and the command is: tor
[00:12] <alienx> Hola
[00:12] <alienx> Hello
[00:12] <some> again...why can i not start the tor cli while this process is running?
[00:13] <tomreyn> some: what is the command you are trying to run, how was it installed, what is it supposed to do?
[00:13] <tomreyn> and which error (quote exact messages) does it run into?
[00:13] <some> tor client
[00:14] <tomreyn> which of my questions is this the answer to?
[00:14] <velix> Can anyone please try to build fuse3-3.4.1 in Disco? I'm getting unexpected errors from the scripts.
[00:14] <some> and if what you said is true then why would the user be debian-+
[00:14] <some> tor client is started by the user
[00:14] <some> in my case
[00:15] <tomreyn> some: then you're doing it differently than pretty much anyone else.
[00:15] <alienx> mmm
[00:16] <some> so i am using my tor client in a wierd way
[00:17] <tomreyn> some: yes. the 'tor client' is really a daemon which sets up and keeps open network connections. there is no "tor client" command. if there was, then "client" would be an argument passed to the "tor" command. which exists, but does not know such an argument.
[00:19] <tomreyn> some: maybe what you are trying to do is to make some command run through tor. to do so, you keep the tor daemon running, and use torsocks (or another socks 4a/5h proxy client) to redirect a command's traffic through the socks service provided by the tor daemon.
[00:19] <tomreyn> some: but you're not really telling us what you are trying to do, so i can only guess there.
[00:21] <some> i want to connect through tor to irc and not have to kill the debian process to do it.
[00:21] <texla> Dell xps desktop w/ubuntu 18.04 boots to desktop I am able to right click update it goes blank then all systems are frozen mouse can scroll the whole desktop
[00:21] <OerHeks> the tor site does not mention tor-client https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en
[00:21] <some> or "torify" whatever needs a tor client running
[00:22] <tomreyn> some: which is your preferred irc client, which irc network are you trying to connect to?
[00:23] <some> lets say its freenode
[00:24] <some> is this a default socket issue? is that process i am killing normal? from what you have said it is.
[00:26] <OerHeks> some,  what guide did you follow and what ubuntu version?
[00:27] <velix> YES! It's a bug in the installer...
[00:27] <velix> I mean, debian rules
[00:29] <velix> Seems like the real package builders can jump over errors somehow?
[00:29] <tomreyn> !who | velix
[00:30] <velix> tomreyn: anyone ;)
[00:30] <tomreyn> velix: what's your support question?
[00:31] <velix> tomreyn: buildings fuse3-3.4.1 creates several errors, which seem to be problems in the debian rules (debian fuse3.install f.e.). After fixing this problems, the package can be built.
[00:32] <tomreyn> velix: software packaging isn't suually considered support around here. you can ask / discuss in #ubuntu-app-devel
[00:33] <boo> EYY
[00:33] <velix> 16 users in there, while 1451 are in here ;)
[00:33] <velix> But okay, thanks for help.
[00:33] <boo> hello people
[00:34] <tomreyn> hello Guest85224
[00:34] <Guest85224> wow
[00:34] <some> i followed instruction at this link https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/apt

[00:41] <fling> How to get dark theme in qt apps?
[00:41] <OerHeks> right click .. standard would be left click ?
[00:42] <OerHeks> fling,  install some qt5 plugin, like https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/05/get-qt5-apps-to-use-native-gtk-style-in.html
[00:45] <|easy|> thx for i quit maybe cya later
[00:45] <fling> OerHeks: I have qt5-style-plugins installed
[00:46] <fling> I have GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark and QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 env variables and gtk apps are working as expected
[00:46] <fling> OerHeks: but qt apps are using bright theme instead.
[00:46] <texla> OerHeks, Right click open the launcher left click after right opens the program
[01:03] <Cybergrad> Can someone help me understand what the response was to a bug I filed? Apparently the issue is 'deprecated' but I don't understand how it resolves the issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1817269
[01:03] <fling> OerHeks: am I missing something?
[01:05] <OerHeks> fling, no, that should be correct, after logout/login it should work
[01:05] <fling> OerHeks: then something is wrong hmm hmmmm
[01:05] <fling> OerHeks: should I ask kde guys?
[01:05] <OerHeks> and i never bothered with that theming difference, all i know is that solution, which is confirmed to work, maybe not with manually installed themes
[01:05] <fling> Or who is responsible for qt nowadays?
[01:06] <OerHeks> yes, #kubuntu or #kde
[01:13] <some> Oerheks_:to clarify...I am trying to connect to irc onion site, in this case freenodeok2gncmy.onion. Do I need to be asking tor-project this question?
[01:15] <OerHeks> you *are* connecter through tor
[01:15] <OerHeks> connected
[01:16] <some> OerHeks: and no it does not mention client. it is not necessary for apt-transport-tor right? Am aware...I had to run kill command in order to start the tor client that allowed me to make this connection
[01:16] <some> OerHeks: I would like to NOT have to do that.
[01:19] <some> OerHeks: Part of the communication issue here is my fault/ignorance...I have little to no exp in troubleshooting through IRC.
[01:20] <xedniv> anyone here had issues with boot not operating well after setting up LUKS manually and completing the installer? i added the 'system' pv/vgroup to crypttab, reinstalled efi, and it goes into a grub shell
[01:20] <xedniv> this has worked for me as-is in debian and 18.04, it's 18.10
[01:20] <xedniv> using /dev/sdd, /dev/sdd1 being efi, sdd2 book, sddr3 swap, and sdd4 luks -> pv for / and other partitions
[01:21] <xedniv> fstab uses /dev/mapper/system- for the filesystems
[01:21] <xedniv> (present)
[01:21] <xedniv> crypttab uses the uuid of the LUKS partition and label=system
[01:31] <some> Okay well I have learned a lot from the help that has been offered. Though if i want to connect to an .onion IRC server it looks like i will need to cont. to kill this tor daemon that if i understand correctly is part of the apt-transport-tor program functionality
[01:32] <tomreyn> xedniv: so which ubuntu are oyu using now?
[01:33] <OerHeks> some,  apt-transport-https is enough safety, i guess, not sure both are needed for a relay on tor.
[01:33] <OerHeks> i was looking for a tor channel, not on #freenode :-(
[01:36] <nabuko1971> hola, soy nuevo aquí
[01:36] <tomreyn> xedniv: you should use UUIDs everywhere (other than in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume.conf if you have this)
[01:36] <tomreyn> !es | nabuko1971
[01:37] <some> OerHeks: #tor-project and #tor (for general questions) irc.oftc.net...must have account though to join chan
[01:38] <rapidwave> I'm having trouble with PHP saying mysql extension is not installed. I have installed php7.2-mysql and php-mysql packages...I don't know what I could be missing.
[01:40] <some> OerHeks: What do you mean not sure both are needed? I am not running a relay. I am connecting as a client to tor network with torsocks command. I will bring question over to tor once i get an account there or just email.
[01:42] <some> OerHecks: Is it totally normal for the top command to show what i posted earlier? Are you sure that this is not an ubuntu bug in apt-transport-tor program which is in ubuntu multiverse and supported?
[01:42] <tomreyn> rapidwave: is this the php version you're running then?
[01:44] <rapidwave> Yes, I am running php 7.2
[01:44] <some> OerHeks: see sources.list man page UI section line 208
[01:44] <tomreyn> rapidwave: does phpinfo() report that the mysql module is loaded?
[01:46] <some> OerHeks: see sources.list man page URI section line 208
[01:48] <some> OerHeks: URI Specifications "...the APT team also maintains the package apt-transport-tor"
[01:50] <some> tomreyn: I am connecting as a client to tor network with
[01:51] <some> tomreyn: torsocks cmd to freenodeok2gncmy.onion.
[01:51] <tomreyn> rapidwave: specifically it should report that mysqli and mysqlnd are loaded. see http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php and https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/amd64/php7.2-mysql/filelist ; an example phpinfo for 7.2 can be found here https://phpinfo.bplaced.net/
[01:54] <tomreyn> some: the "apt-transport-tor" package is not a daemoin. all it really does is to enable apt(-get) to interpret tor:// URIs in /etc/apt/sources.list(.d/*)
[01:54] <tomreyn> ...and to socksify those requests through the local Tor daemon you're hopefully running if you want to use Tor.
[01:55] <fleabeard> is it true that the moment you login to your Google account in the Chromium browser, that you're pretty much running Google Chrome at that point, and are subject to all it's telemetry/data collecting? I was under the impression Chromium was FOSS :(
[01:55] <tomreyn> some: that's the process you keep killing, the one owned by debian-tor. you have not really every explained why you keep killing it.
[01:55] <OerHeks> fleabeard, no, not to my knowledge, chrome is
[01:55] <tomreyn> *ever
[01:55] <some> tomryn: I have tried to...
[01:56] <tomreyn> some: try again if you like
[01:59] <some> tomreyn: I cannot run tor by itself (not associated with "apt-transport-tor") in the terminal so that i can run torsocks with IRC client while that daemon is running
[02:00] <some> tomryn: I understand now that i sould not have to run tor client to run apt cmd...this is bc/ of daemon correct?
[02:05] <tomreyn> tomreyn: you don't need to run "tor in the terminal", why would you need to?
[02:06] <tomreyn> err some
[02:06] <tomreyn> i'm already starting to talk to myself
[02:07] <OerHeks> bitrot
[02:07] <tomreyn> some: you just need to have package "tor" installed, which provides the tor daemon, which sets up a tor cirtuit, and provides the socks server at localhost:9050. client applications, such as apt (with apt-transport-tor) or an irc client or web browser can then connect to this socks proxy.
[02:07] <carlitos1987> hola
[02:08] <tomreyn> carlitos1987: werlcome to ubuntu support
[02:10] <tomreyn> some: some applications do not support socks on their own, those can be started by prefixing their command line using "torsocks", a command the package of the same name provides. example: "torsocks nc -vv exmaple.org 80" to connect through tor instead of just "nc -vv exmaple.org 80".
[02:11] <tomreyn> some: so, yes, you don'T need to run a "tor client command" on the terminal to open a door to the tor network, this is done by the daemon.
[02:12] <tomreyn> some: also, i just tried to connect to the #tor channel on the OFTC irc network through their webchat, and ould chat there without a need to register.
[02:13] <tomreyn> so i suggest you go thtere with tor specific questions.
[02:13] <some> tomreyn: Okay. So I should not have to run the client in a seperate terminal for my IRC client either? I specified that an account was needed in order to join.
[02:13] <some> tomreyn: thanky you for trying to help
[02:14] <OerHeks> maybe you need an account on  OFTC irc network , like #freenode account, not the tor site specific?
[02:15] <tomreyn> some: correct. you should *not* have to run "the tor client" (no such thing exists, or rather, the tor project would refer to any application connecting to the tor network , such as your IRC client, as a "tor client") in a seperate terminal for my IRC client to be able to connect to the Tor network.
[02:47] <eusid> Is there a completely free time tracking tool that will keep a time sheet and take screen shots maybe record actions per minute without asking me to signup or pay them for it?
[02:49] <tomreyn> "apt search 'time tracker'" retunrs three matches on my 18.04 system.
[02:49] <tomreyn> i don't know whether any or all of them provide these features, though.
[02:50] <tomreyn> eusid: ^
[02:51] <eusid> yeah i've been through them i was just hoping someone maybe had some experience with this
[02:52] <some> tomreyn: ok little by little i am getting picture
[02:52] <some> tomreyn: i have misconfigured something in my torcc files probably
[02:54] <some> tomreyn: i did not know how apt-transport-tor was working and you have really helped clear that up.
[02:54] <tomreyn> eusid: if you already know a software for this purpose, alternativeto.net and osalt.com may help you find more.
[02:55] <eusid> okay I've actually tried several project management solutions and time trackers
[02:56] <eusid> thanks for the info maybe i'll find something nice and free and open source
[02:56] <tomreyn> some: glad i could help you there.
[02:56] <tomreyn> eusid: good luck.
[02:56] <eusid> i thought also it would probably wouldnt be too hard to just use something like shutter all the time
[02:56] <eusid> nad then grab the shots i need for work time
[02:56] <eusid> shutter on a crontask
[02:57] <tomreyn> this might catch sensitive info.
[02:57] <eusid> tomreyn: yeah I'm sure...but I would manually review but i agree i could miss stuff
[02:57] <eusid> Upwork has a time tracker that takes screens which i hate..
[02:57] <eusid> but i have some clients not from upwork questioning the validity of my time sheets so i was hoping to find actions per minute and screen shots implemented
[02:58] <eusid> Just cut that one off right there -- I've heard it all at this point
[02:59] <tomreyn> some: many (debian/.deb/apt) packages come with some form of documentatiom. there can be man pages ("man somecommand" or https://manpages.ubuntu.com) and README.Debian (or just README) files in /usr/share/doc/packagename

[04:22] <ChiLLabiS> Hi! I want to connect to my pc using SSH from a laptop or a phone(android). My PC is behind a regualar VPN that's free from my ISP. I can connect to it in local network but not outside my network that i want to. My PC is connected directly to the internetoutlet thats in the appartment and there is no router or such.. i use Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
[05:13] <randominternetus> ok guys, so I just changed my password. thing is now it doesn't seem to work. idk maybe I'm entering something wrong or whatever. It just can't work. Is there any way to reset it without using a live disc or something?
[05:16] <talib[p]> @randominternetus Do you have a root or administrator account with password?
[05:17] <randominternetus> talib[p], I wouldn't be asking if I did.

[06:58] <BlackDalek> Can someone please tell me how to create a NFS share on this computer (Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04) or point me to a suitable How To guide for same?
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> !nfs | BlackDalek
[06:58] <BlackDalek> lotuspsychje, perfect! thank you
[07:22] <BlackDalek> lotuspsychje, ok... Is there something missing from the "NFS Quick start" instructions because I did everything it said for NFS server set up and the only thing that shows up on the client machine now is "/export" and "/export/users" and I can't open either those folders to browse the directory I supposedly binded.
[07:28] <BlackDalek> NFS share setup is beyond my capability. Is there an easier way to share a folder on my LAN?
[07:33] <ducasse> BlackDalek: pastebin /etc/exports on the nfs server, and we can take a look
[07:37] <sabrehagen> I want to create a Ubuntu machine image. After I've downloaded my operating system and installed my utilities, how do I snapshot the machine so that I can reinstall from usb at any time?
[07:39] <BlackDalek> ducasse, here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/S9k67ZBNQW/
[07:43] <ducasse> BlackDalek: run 'sudo exportfs -r' on the server, then 'sudo mount nfs-server:/export /mnt' on the client
[07:49] <ChiLLabiS> Hi! I want to SSH to my PC from for example from my laptop or phone. It works in localnetwork but i want to be able to do that from an outsideconnection too. The PC is connected to a VPN from my ISP. And there is no router, just a cable from the PC to the internetoutlet in my appartment. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
[07:52] <calher> ChiLLabiS: When you click on the internet connection icon and select Connection Information, what does it say under Default Route?
[07:52] <calher> Oh, oops. I'm on 16.04.
[07:52] <calher> IDK if that will work on 18.04.
[07:53] <ChiLLabiS> calher: 100.121.128.1
[07:53] <calher> ChiLLabiS: Try going there in your browser.
[07:54] <ChiLLabiS> Nothing happends
[07:54] <calher> OK.
[07:54] <calher> I thought it was worth a shot. :(
[07:55] <calher> ChiLLabiS: Have you tried just opening port 22 and doing ssh your_ip_address:22?
[07:56] <ChiLLabiS> isn't port 22 by default?
[07:56] <ChiLLabiS> i mean i can enter ssh on local network
[07:57] <TabMasher> All the more reason to open it, eh?
[07:58] <ChiLLabiS> i set the port 22 on in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[07:59] <ChiLLabiS> is : sudo systemctl restart ssh correct after?
[07:59] <ducasse> you shouldn't need to do that
[08:01] <ChiLLabiS> I*m a bit noob.. I did ifconfig and then got the inet ip but it's not the same as on whatismyip.com ip :S
[08:03] <calher> I can't get DeltaChat to install/run on 16.04.

[08:12] <crmlt> Hi
[08:12] <crmlt> is there way to cast video from android to ubuntu?
[08:12] <calher> Hi.
[08:15] <TabMasher> crmlt: Look into VLC.  I'm not sure about the android version, but VLC will let you stream media as well.
[08:20] <crmlt> TabMasher: VLC on android can stream only local content.
[08:20] <mattia_> ciao
[08:20] <crmlt> I wan't to stream from video another app.

[08:47] <blingrang> Hi, just installed a fresh 18.04 on a new laptop. The menu items sizes are really small. How do I make them bigger?. The window titles and terminal fonts are fine.
[08:47] <blingrang> It's just the menu items.

[09:41] <BlackDalek> Tell me what to pastebin and I will pastebin it

[09:55] <pragomer> under ubuntu 18.04 gnome I have problems with a few apps (like vlc, mkvtoolnixgui) with wrong scaling options, please have a look at the two screenshots: https://snag.gy/td8gcS.jpg   how can I fix that?
[09:55] <pragomer> way too big icons, weird fonts..
[09:56] <pragomer> think this is a qt scaling thing in general under ubuntu gnome, right?
[10:13] <kreyren> Why files created on slave OS using chroot that writes to host are not visible by the host? alike using apt with changed rootdir to install packages on different system
[10:14] <blackflow> kreyren: that question doesn't make much sense. can you elaborate exactly what you see?
[10:15] <kreyren> blackflow: example i have host OS and slave OS (ubuntu) mounted on /mnt/ubuntu and i chrooted in slaveOS and mounted hostOS with apt to install packages in host OS that doesn't have apt.
[10:16] <kreyren> but those packages are not visible by the host OS.
[10:16] <kreyren> *files and dirs
[10:16] <blackflow> you're still not making sense "mounted hostOS with apt" ...... what?
[10:16] <blackflow> perhaps pastebin what you mean.
[10:16] <kreyren> hostOS doesn't have apt slaveOS has and i'm using slaveOS with apt to install packages on host OS
[10:17] <blackflow> kreyren: how are you doing that. can you pastebin the mountpoints and commands you're issuing?
[10:18] <blackflow> and.... this totally sounds like something totally not supported in #ubuntu, even if you're using ubuntu, sounds like you're creating your own distro there, aka "hostOS", with no package management of its own....   :)
[10:18] <kreyren> can't SSL is down atm.. is there any way for host OS to recheck data on it's storage?
[10:18] <blackflow> "recheck" in what way.
[10:19] <kreyren> i understand that files/dirs that are not created by host OS on Host OS are not visible by Host OS
[10:19] <blackflow> kreyren: you can pipe to netcat, doesn't need SSL to pastebin
[10:19] <BlackDalek> Hi. WHo can help me troubleshoot NFS sharing problems with Ubuntu and Kodi? Problem..

[11:00] <mccbhi4> hi
[11:38] <sine`> folks, is rufus ok for making a bootable usb of the server edition
[11:39] <lotuspsychje> !usb | sine`
[11:40] <lotuspsychje> sine`: there are several tools to make bootable usb's, rufus is once of them indeed
[11:40] <lotuspsychje> *one
[11:41] <sine`> i just remember about a year ago i installed ubuntu server on a system and there was an issue with the install process and it was to do with the usb installer that I used.
[11:41] <lotuspsychje> depends on wich tool sine` we had some users with problems with like unetbootin etc
[11:41] <sine`> ok ill go with rufus
[11:42] <audemars> so i have ubuntu 18, installed my favourite btc wallet (electrum) installation went okay but i cannot find app icon in apps menu, i can only launch electrum from terminal. How to fix this? i would like to see the icon too. thx
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> sine`: i made a lot of them with the ubuntu usb creator
[11:42] <hellerz> Hello guys, I have installed XRDP on my ubuntu 16.04 LTS. 18 days and today I'm trying to connect to my server through remote desktop but It won't let me
[11:43] <lotuspsychje> audemars: is that the electrum snap?
[11:44] <audemars> nope from py sources
[11:44] <audemars> couse snap version seems old.
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> audemars: a ppa?
[11:44] <audemars> followed instructions here: https://electrum.org/#download
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> lemme check
[11:45] <audemars> ty
[11:45] <hellerz> Is there a way to fix this without reboot?
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> audemars: i think you best ask to the electrum forum/devs as its not a software from the official repos
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> audemars: did the snap show you an icon correctly?
[11:46] <audemars> @lotuspsychje, thanks. i did not install from snap couse i see a very old version.
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> ok
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> audemars: you could check usr/share/applications for the icon
[11:48] <audemars> @lotuspsychje, nothing there, no icon.
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> audemars: yeah, think you best ask the maintainer then might be malfunction there
[11:49] <audemars> @lotuspsychje, which > /home/audemars/.local/bin/electrum
[11:49] <audemars> @lotuspsychje, okay thanks.
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> hellerz: are you on ubuntu server?
[11:49] <andi> Hi, I would like to use proftpd with multiple users in a single directory. Is there a way to let one user act like another through proftpd?
[11:50] <hellerz> lotuspsychje yes It's ubuntu 16.04 LTS
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> hellerz: join #ubuntu-server for likeminded volunteers, they might know there
[11:51] <hellerz> lotuspsychje thank you
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> welcome hellerz
[11:51] <sine`> lotuspsychje: I normally use headless debian servers, do you have any experience with it
[11:52] <sine`> the ubuntu one I mean. I want to have a remote gui desktop for it
[11:52] <lotuspsychje> sine`: server questions best ask in #ubuntu-server please
[11:58] <nura> hello
[12:10] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all

[12:50] <Guest5031> the method with saturation doesn't works
[12:50] <Guest5031> it is worth than luminosity
[12:51] <Guest5031> the background which was tagged leaflet is still tagged leaflet but some parts of leaflet are tagged background
[12:54] <sine`> Im having issues with my old tower i installed ubuntu on, not rebooting from command line or anything. I have seen quite a few solutions saying use reboot=kernel for kernel. where do I start with that and how can I see from desktop
[13:02] <blackflow> sine`: the problem you're having is not clear, can you elaborate?
[13:04] <xibalba> any iptables ninjas around? got a stupid problem i can't seem to figure out. i want to take all incoming traffic to ens160 from my network 192.168.1.0/24 and push it into tun0
[13:05] <xibalba> this is what i've got so far,
[13:05] <xibalba> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FX7wXgSHNv/
[13:05] <grkblood13> theres something going on in my terminal window where half the time my text is being underlined when I type and its screwing with the autocomplete tab function
[13:05] <grkblood13> any idea what it could be?
[13:05] <blackflow> xibalba: that's routing, not iptables. sounds like you need a default gateway via tun0
[13:05] <sine`> blackflow: I have an old pc i installed ubuntu on. reboot hangs. it happened before with another linux distro last year, so i know its some issue. Dell precision T1600. lots of blocks talk about reboot=p etc and different modes, I want to know how i can test this out
[13:06] <blackflow> sine`: reboot hangs how, what's displayed on teh screen?
[13:06] <xibalba> blackflow , i have another box that's using this "tunneler" box as a default gateway. The tunnel system ends up sending the incoming IP to it's default gateway 192.168.1.1, instead of pushing the IP into tun0
[13:06] <xibalba> tunneler needs to maintain it's default GW of 192.168.1.1 so it can reach out to the remote system.
[13:07] <blackflow> xibalba: it'd be better to actually use openvpn instead of monkeypatching ssh, but, perhaps you can pastebin your network's topology then? I'm not sure I follow
[13:07] <sine`> blackflow: it hangs at the end with the text on display, I cant remember without doing it again, it just does nto reboto and I have to power it down, it goes through a process but hangs last minute with the linux info text
[13:07] <sine`> "Try "reboot=p" in grub.conf kernel line."
[13:07] <blackflow> sine`: that text is critical to understanding the problem.
[13:07] <xibalba> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6T3KS79HRD/ , network config
[13:07] <blackflow> sine`: for example, maybe it's a systemd service hanging with a stop job?
[13:07] <sine`> ok well ill reboot now and come back in a second. p.s that answer above is common to this machine i am seeing
[13:08] <xibalba> blackflow , yeh i'm just trying to make it work for the sake of making it work. a proper vpn whether it be openvpn/ipsec would be a better choice
[13:08] <xibalba> i know i had this working long ago and it's driving me made i can't figure out what the issue is :|
[13:09] <xibalba> this has a little more info; https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/K5FMQXT7PV/
[13:11] <blackflow> xibalba: sorry but I can't see the topology from that pastebin. at any rate, you don't use iptables to route. however it _is_ possible to route all packets from one subnet (ens160) through tun0, while at the same time having a different default gateway on the machine doing the routing
[13:11] <blackflow> in essence, iptables tag packets from the subnet, and then route based on the tag.
[13:11] <B1ack0p> sup
[13:12] <sine`> blackflow: https://snag.gy/4S2vgu.jpg
[13:12] <xibalba> I was trying to NAT it into tun0 from incoming data on ens160.
[13:12] <blackflow> xibalba: sure, but that's NAT then
[13:12] <blackflow> (packets change src and/or dst IPs)
[13:13] <xibalba> i'm familiar with NAT, just not in IPTables
[13:13] <xibalba> I thought thats what i had for. configuration here, with the forwarding of data to tun0 then masuqerading on postrouting
[13:13] <sine`> [ OK ] Reached target Final Step.
[13:13] <sine`> Starting Reboot...
[13:13] <blackflow> sine`: does it reboot if you run `systemctl reboot --force --force`  ?
[13:14] <sine`> blackflow: let me start the rascall up and ill try..
[13:14] <blackflow> it'd also be helpful to `dmesg -w` kernel messages while it's going through the reboot cycle, see what's last thing logged when it reaches the reboot target
[13:15] <sine`> how do i do that
[13:15] <sine`> is that like a tail -f log
[13:15] <blackflow> sine`: you open a terminal, type dmesg -w  (which "tails" straight from the buffer, instead of a file with `tail`), then in another you issue regular `reboot`
[13:17] <blackflow> xibalba: so you want to SNAT from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.99.0/24 via tun0?
[13:17] <sine`> ok i have ssh in and doing tmux double
[13:17] <xibalba> If I wanted to take all incoming data on "tunneler / ens160" and shove it into tun0, would this be correct? iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE
[13:17] <xibalba> blackflow , yes correct
[13:17] <xibalba> where i will NAT it again (i'm sure you'll throw up a little)
[13:18] <blackflow> xibalba: that's not shoving the packets, that's masquerading the src-ip. you still need routing to recognite that packets need to be shoved via tun0
[13:18] <blackflow> *recognize
[13:18] <JoeD> Should I care about Secure Boot?
[13:18] <sine`> haha i forgot it discons ssh way before i see anything decent
[13:19] <blackflow> xibalba: maybe you can combine snat + dnat (as dnat takes src interface),  but that's OTOH and I'm in serious lack of coffee right now, in order to think this clearly
[13:19] <xibalba> ah so i'm missing that piece then. one piece to send the packets into tun0, another piece to masquerade(NAT?) it once it's in tun0 and send it down the line to the remote side's tun0
[13:19] <xibalba> OTOH ?
[13:19] <blackflow> xibalba: off the top of my head
[13:19] <xibalba> roger
[13:20] <blackflow> xibalba: personally, I think you should use iptables to MARK packets coming in on ens160   and then route the marked packets via tun0
[13:20] <xibalba> then they get NAT'd
[13:20] <xibalba> how do i do that?
[13:21] <xibalba> i need to go start reading this; https://www.karlrupp.net/en/computer/nat_tutorial
[13:21] <blackflow> xibalba: https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.netfilter.html
[13:21] <xibalba> thanks
[13:22] <blackflow> xibalba: but note that's without NAT, so packets retain src and dst addresses. not sure if that's what you want, and you might need to additionally just add a simple SNAT rule to packets coming out of ens160 have src ip in that subnet
[13:23] <blackflow> xibalba: sorry, coming out of tun0
[13:24] <xibalba> yeh i'm going to need a dual nat configuration likely. one to nat from my source subnet 192.168.1.0/24 into the tunnel (192.168.99.200 -- my local side), then when it pops out of the remote tun0 side (192.168.99.100), i need it to NAT from tun0 to ens160 over there (remote network)
[13:24] <blackflow> xibalba: also note routing marked packets is a solution where you do not want to make tun0 default gateway for _all_ traffic, not just traffic coming in via ens160. otherwise just set a default gateway via tun0
[13:24] <xibalba> i'm basically trying to make a gateway inside my local network that will SSH Tunnel all my other internal home traffic to a remote cloud instance
[13:25] <blackflow> xibalba: which sounds like you'd want SNAT
[13:25] <Drewch> How can I stop mdadm array, when I try I get "mdadm: Cannot get exclusive access to /dev/md0:Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem or active volume group?", and can't seem to figure out how to get around it
[13:27] <Iarla> A fresh 18.04 installation has no working ethernet or WiFi. Where do I start troubleshooting? 14.04 was fine but I do recall some blacklisting or something like that was needed.
[13:31] <lotuspsychje> Iarla: what kind of chipset?
[13:34] <lotuspsychje> Iarla: if you could pastebin: sudo lshw -C network && lsb_release -a && uname -a
[13:34] <Iarla> lotuspsychje: Ethernet controller is Marvel 88E8040 and WiFi is Broadcom BCM4312
[13:36] <blackflow> Drewch: well, is there a filesystem on md0 that's currently mounted?
[13:36] <lotuspsychje> Iarla: if you cant go online, an idea would be installing the broadcom drivers the offline method from the liveusb in /pool
[13:37] <Drewch> blackflow, no it's unmounted
[13:37] <Drewch> I failed one disk and removed it, but now trying to stoppp the whole thing
[13:38] <blackflow> Drewch: doesn't sound like it. are you 100% sure? maybe it's not a direct mountpoint but through LVM?
[13:38] <Iarla> lotuspsychje: interesting suggestion, I'll try it thank you. Also, ifconfig is not installed. Is that normal?
[13:38] <blackflow> Drewch: or LUKS
[13:38] <sine`> ive booted to teh desktop how do i get to a tTY1
[13:39] <sine`> or the alternative command promts
[13:39] <sine`> without logging in via desktop
[13:40] <Drewch> blackflow, you might be right, but when I do sudo umount /dev/md0, it says not mounted. Could it still be mounted somewhere?
[13:40] <blackflow> sine`: ctrl + alt + F2 for example for tty2
[13:40] <sine`> ah thats it i forgot exact key combo
[13:42] <blackflow> Drewch: is there LVM atop of it? does `pvscan` show md0 as a PV for a VG?
[13:42] <Drewch> pvscan output doesn't show anything for md0 no
[13:44] <jeremy31> Iarla: you could also try https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2316978
[13:45] <Iarla> jeremy31: thanks, I'll look into it now
[13:46] <blackflow> Drewch: can you pastebin the output of `mount` please?  also `ls -l /dev/mapper`
[13:47] <sine`> blackflow I cant see dmesg because when i run the reboot procedure you mentioned whatever I am viewing with gets shut down before, like tmux to see dmesg as well the reboot text
[13:47] <sine`> however systemctl reboot --force --force does not work
[13:47] <sine`> or whatever he correct sytnax
[13:48] <blackflow> sine`: sounds like ACPI or whatever hardware issue preventing the system to execute reboot
[13:48] <n0cl1p> Hello
[13:49] <Iarla> lotuspsychje: jeremy31 WiFi is working. Thank you :) First time I've had WiFi working before ethernet :D
[13:50] <Drewch> blackflow: https://gist.github.com/Drewch/ecaadef3916a49d7530d1e343cfd3d22
[13:51] <blackflow> sine`: might even be worth updating the BIOS. you can check with `dmdecode` which BIOS version you have and then with the manufacturer if there are updates
[13:52] <blackflow> Drewch: right cryptswap mapper is using it. that's probably where swap partition is.   `swapon`  will tell you
[13:52] <Drewch> blackflow: yup that is my swap indeed
[13:53] <blackflow> Drewch: swapoff, cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap,     and you'll be able to stop the array
[13:55] <blackflow> sine`: sorry, typo earlier... `dmidecode`
[13:56] <Iarla> I see there are extensions to make Gnome Shell more like Unity. Are extensions reliable or should I just install Unity? My parents are used to Unity.
[13:58] <Drewch> blackflow: thanks, swapoff seems to be taking a long time. Normal?
[13:58] <blackflow> Drewch: could be, needs to page in all the stuffs it paged out. might be a problem if you're out of RAM tho
[14:00] <Drewch> blackflow: I have 32gb of ram  and only using 6 of it. Seems like I am using 1G of swap some how though. Which seems crazy. But at least using htop i can track the swapoff progress. Thanks
[14:03] <wakes7> guys... hi
[14:03] <wakes7> how dow i make the desktop icons smaller ??
[14:04] <tchakatak> wakes7: depend of your desktop environment.
[14:04] <blackflow> Drewch: not crazy. swapping out unused pages in situations where there's no hight memory pressure is beneficial. you don't want swap storms, so pre-emptive swapping out is not bad. adjustable with vm.swappiness kernel/sysctl if you so wishit
[14:04] <wakes7> i tried doing it in the "files" program, but it does not make it small enough..
[14:04] <blackflow> Drewch: (default of 60 is good for most cases though)
[14:05] <sine`> blackflow: many people with the same system report the same fix
[14:05] <sine`> reboot=pci in grub.cfg
[14:06] <blackflow> sine`: could be. tried it yet?
[14:06] <sine`> can I edit the grub config from command prompt or do I need to mount
[14:07] <shdw`ninja> wakes, have you looked at Settings | Dock yet?
[14:07] <blackflow> sine`: you can't edit the current kernel's command line, no. but before you make it permanent in grub's config (/etc/default/grub), reboot and add the option via grub menu (hit 'e' on the entry you want to reboot, to edit it, then add reboot=pci to the vmlinuz line, hit F10 to continue booting)
[14:08] <blackflow> sine`: then test the reboot and if it works, just add it to /etc/default/grub to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[14:09] <sine`> ok so how do i reboot into grub ?
[14:09] <sine`> let me google it
[14:09] <shdw`ninja> wakes7: If you mean icons in the dock bar, in Settings | Dock you can set icon size.
[14:09] <blackflow> sine`: might need to hold down the shift key right after the machine exits from POST and starts booting from the disk
[14:10] <wakes7> ninja. not the icons in the dock
[14:10] <wakes7> on the desktop
[14:11] <wakes7> i know i can change that quite a bit. just the icon size on the desktop.
[14:12] <shdw`ninja> wakes7: Right click the icon and there is a "Resize Icon" in the pop-up menu
[14:13] <SwedeMike> fint, /win 207
[14:13] <SwedeMike> oops
[14:14] <Drewch> blackflow: I run swapoff and crypsetup luksClose cryptswp, and still same issue. I've updated the gist: https://gist.github.com/Drewch/ecaadef3916a49d7530d1e343cfd3d22
[14:15] <Drewch> blackflow: updated again with cat /proc/mdstat: https://gist.github.com/Drewch/ecaadef3916a49d7530d1e343cfd3d22
[14:15] <sine`> blackflow: ok that WORKS first time ive ever been able to reboot it
[14:15] <sine`> why is that then?
[14:18] <wakes7> ninja. i tried that now. its already on its minimum size :/
[14:19] <wakes7> i cant drag it smaller than it already is. **
[14:19] <blackflow> sine`: changed how kernel is doing the actual hardware/BIOS reboot
[14:20] <blackflow> sine`: apparently there's more than one way, and that param tells the kernel how to do it
[14:21] <shdw`ninja> wakes7: You can right click, choose Properties, click on the icon and set a custom icon. What kind of icon is it?
[14:21] <blackflow> Drewch: well I don't know any more. no mapper present that could use it. you say pvscan is empty (though LVM whould show in the mappers). no mountpoint.   you could look up with lsof   (eg   lsof | grep md0)   but I doubt that'd return anything
[14:21] <blackflow> sine`: this seems to offer more info, but it's rather old (the kernel code no longer has that list)   https://askubuntu.com/questions/7114/why-cant-i-restart-shutdown
[14:22] <blackflow> sine`: current list:  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt#L3946
[14:24] <Drewch> blackflow: it does return stuff related to md0. I added it to gist: https://gist.github.com/Drewch/ecaadef3916a49d7530d1e343cfd3d22
[14:24] <wakes7> its for the DVD , Trash bin and Pcloud_drive.
[14:25] <blackflow> Drewch: what are PIDs 336 and 1088?
[14:25] <shdw`ninja> wakes7: I have a tendency to have minimal icons on my desktop. If I want quick access to anything, I pin it to the dock. That's another thought anyway.
[14:26] <blackflow> Drewch: ps -up 336      and -up 1088
[14:27] <Drewch> blackflow: Added to gist, but it's md0_raid1 and jbd2/md0-8
[14:27] <wakes7> yeah, i might try that too. what about clearing everything of the desktop? like an clean desktop.
[14:28] <shdw`ninja> wakes7: Everyone has a style of their own. I don't want much on my desktop, some do.
[14:28] <blackflow> Drewch: right, expected. I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas. as the last thing you could look up `dmesg` after you try to stop the array, see if anything else is logged
[14:29] <shdw`ninja> wakes7: The Tweaks tool is a quick way to decide what you want to put on your desktop.
[14:31] <Drewch> blackflow: ok thanks
[14:31] <Drewch> blackflow: there is a lot of rejecting I/O to offline device
[14:31] <sine`> blackflow: when editing the grub config do i need to rerun grub (sure i have done this before)
[14:32] <blackflow> Drewch: interesting, gist it?
[14:33] <blackflow> sine`: if you edit /etc/default/grub   then yes, you need to `update-grub`
[14:33] <qwebirc66338> I'm unable to install 18.04 as I cant get past the network config part without it saying timeout
[14:33] <wakes7> ninja. i removed the icons with the tweak tool. THANKS !!
[14:34] <blackflow> qwebirc66338: server ISO?
[14:34] <amikrop> I have an image (printscreen) that has a "table" in it... How can I select (and crop up to) the table, without having to manually struggle? in Pinta, or any other tool you want
[14:34] <Drewch> blackflow: gisted: https://gist.github.com/Drewch/ecaadef3916a49d7530d1e343cfd3d22
[14:34] <shdw`ninja> wakes7: You are welcome. I want my desktop set up a certain way too.
[14:35] <qwebirc66338> is there an ubuntu server channel
[14:35] <amikrop> I don't want to have to manually try to include just the border of the table.. is there any "smart select" feature? (Pinta or any other tool)
[14:35] <compdoc> #ubuntu-server
[14:36] <qwebirc66338> thanks compdoc
[14:36] <blackflow> Drewch: try --fail'ing the sda1 member first, methinks we've been chasing a red herring
[14:37] <hellerz> Hello, I'm trying to make my eggdrop bot connect to SSL server. When I try to run it I got this error "No non-ssl servers added (tls is disabled)" , what would be the issue here?
[14:40] <xibalba> blackflow , i finally got it working. i feel it's goofy
[14:40] <xibalba> if you're interested i'll put together the config into a paste bin. you can tell me how goofy you think it is
[14:41] <Drewch> blackflow: sda was the one that I failed earlier, sdb is the one that remiains. I suspect this dmesg output is actually fromn when I failed it
[14:44] <blackflow> Drewch: right, but my point was perhaps try to explicitly --fail sda1   before you --stop the array
[14:45] <Drewch> blackflow: I did, that was my first step
[14:46] <detsu> hello
[14:46] <blackflow> Drewch: sorry, I'm totally out of ideas then. otehr then reboot and try again. make sure md0 isn't mounted via fstab, or touched via crypttab (changing that requires `update-initramfs -u`)
[14:46] <Drewch> blackflow: yeah, I think i'm in some deadlocked state. Going to go for the reboot. Thanks
[14:47] <detsu> hello
[14:50] <xibalba> blackflow , here it is ... kind of some goofyness around the routing table for the local 'tunneler' box. since i needed to be able to get the SSH connection out, if i did a full default then it'd try tunneling the ssh session that provided the tun/tap interfasce via the interface ... obviously that doesn't work so i had to set a /32 route for the remote host to be able to keep the tunnel up, then i could default out the rest of the traffic
[14:50] <xibalba> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xpnzKQ2rf8/
[14:51] <shdw`ninja> Be well people. Must leave for now...
[14:54] <Drewch> blackflow: I think reboot solved it,thanks :)
[14:57] <sine`> thanks for your help blackflow

[15:40] <corsair> Hi.. is there anyone familiar with colord?
[15:41] <corsair> is it normal that when I run colormgr get-devices I do not get results?
[15:43] <corsair> I'm experimenting with some display calibration using displaycal and I'm trying to figure out how color management works

[16:52] <pcase13_> I've installed a package that includes a 'desktop configuration file' that launches an application. What is the best way to make a shortcut for this application on my dock?
[16:55] <tgm4883> pcase13_: with the application open, can you right click the icon in the dock and pin to dock?
[16:58] <pcase13_> tgm4883: While I see that option for most of the applications open, it doesn't show up for this one. I only have options to Quit and then the sub-menu for 'All Windows'.
[16:59] <OerHeks> pcase13_, care to share what package/application?
[16:59] <pcase13_> OerHeks: Zotero
[17:00] <leftyfb> pcase13_: you'll have to make your own .desktop shortcut
[17:00] <OerHeks> http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2018/06/complete-guide-to-install-zotero-on-ubuntu-1804.html
[17:01] <pcase13_> Ugh ok. I think I got it from here. Thanks ya'll
[17:02] <leftyfb> pcase13_: that link tells you exactly how to make a shortcut for it
[17:02] <OerHeks> it has the launcher already, indeed
[17:04] <OerHeks> i would put such thingy in /opt/ , and , ln -s /opt/zotero/zotero.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/zotero.desktop # or to # /usr/share/applications/zotero.desktopor
[17:08] <pcase13_> Thank you OerHeks and leftyfb!
[17:08] <OerHeks> have fun!
[17:27] <rapidwave> Any explanations for how php7.2-mysql and php-mysql can be installed, yet PHP is missing MySQL extension?
[17:41] <cdevidal> "GRUB failed to install to the following devices" I'm doing an upgrade, it asked if I wanted to keep my conf file or upgrade to the maintainer's version, and then it asked where I wanted to install GRUB to. I said both partitions. I have /dev/sda and /dev/dm-0. My root is encrypted luks. How can I proceed?
[17:45] <EoflaOE> Hello. I started a live session for Kubuntu 18.10 64-bit on my TravelMate 5330, but when I reach the KDE desktop, it worked for several minutes, then the entire laptop freezes. The worst thing is that there is no indicator whether there is a kernel panic. I can hard reboot a laptop by doing the Alt+SysRQ+REISUB. What can I do to fix this problem?
[17:48] <tonyt> EoflaOE i dont have the corect answer but you could try a live session for Kubuntu 18.04 64-bit and see if you get the same result
[17:48] <tonyt> that is what i would do if you cant get it figured out
[17:50] <cdevidal> tonyt: Any advice for my Grub woes?
[17:50] <EoflaOE> tonyt: Thanks! I will try that by downloading it and making a live USB for 18.04.
[17:50] <tonyt> cdevidal sorry i have nothing
[17:51] <cdevidal> I can reinstall it but I'd obviously not like to do that
[17:51] <tonyt> cdevidal there some tools out there like grub rescue you can give a shot
[17:51] <cdevidal> ok
[17:52] <cdevidal> wonder if they work with luks encrypted drives
[17:52] <tonyt> im not sure
[17:53] <cdevidal> Shouldn't it have backed up my old config? I don't see anything but the current cnf file
[17:54] <cdevidal> Ah. /etc/default/grub.ucf-old
[17:55] <cdevidal> That has an encryption setting. I'm going to make the same in the new file and should be good.
[17:57] <cdevidal> Bingo. I had to re-add GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
[17:57] <xibalba> whats the proper way to execute tasks on bootup ? seems my /etc/rc.local iptables-restores < /etc/someFile didn't work :|
[17:58] <EoflaOE> tonyt: I'm surprised to see that when I went to tty, it doesn't freeze as long as I do commands.
[17:58] <xibalba> i could just use crontab w/ @reboot i suppose
[17:58] <rapidwave> What is the right package to install for mysqli?
[17:58] <rapidwave> I need mysqli extension for php
[17:59] <EoflaOE> BTW I kept bluetooth on, so I think the suspect was bluetooth.
[18:01] <cdevidal> xibalba: Maybe write a .service file? It's not as complicated as it sounds.
[18:01] <xibalba> yeh i know but for this case i just opted for the iptables-persistent pkg
[18:02] <cdevidal> ok
[18:03] <xibalba> sweet ! everything works after rebooting, both systems "do the needful" to get the SSH-VPN working entirely @blackflow
[18:03] <xibalba> now my home's internet appears to be coming out of digital ocean in SFO =P
[18:08] <cdevidal> I want you to do the needful ~Uncle Sam
[18:09] <blackflow> xibalba: awesome! :)
[18:10] <xibalba> it was actually much simpler than i was originally thinking. since i dropped the default route, only added the /32 route for the remote ssh server, i only needed to nat at the far end ssh server
[18:10] <xibalba> that allowed me to just use a default route to push everything into tun0
[18:11] <xibalba> @blackflow i appreciate the assistance earlier
[18:14] <cdevidal> #ubuntu rox
[18:57] <SpeedrunnerG55> is it safe to delete sylog in /var/logs?
[18:58] <SpeedrunnerG55> mine is 563 GB and i wantt my disc space back
[18:58] <jeremy31> find out why it is so big?
[19:02] <OerHeks> logrotate, and remove the * log.1 etc
[19:27] <pavlos> seems very high, are you logging everything?
[19:27] <Deihmos> Ubuntu 18.04 runs really slow on my brand new laptop. Takes a while to boot. Should I use 18.10 instead?
[19:28] <pavlos> Deihmos: from a terminal, "systemd-analyze blame" and see what takes that long ...
[19:33] <djp_> why when i add a new launcher item to the menu does it appear in numerous places? for example, i right-click and edit menus, under main menu i select sound & video, create a new launcher item and after saving it, the new launcher appears in sound & video, games, accessories etc.? surely it should only appear under sound & video?
[19:51] <mulletman> how can I search for multiple text files, same name, scattered around and append them all together?
[19:54] <mulletman> I have tried variations of find and >> but havent come up with anything yet :(
[19:54] <fleabeard> mulletman, if you like GUI's, there's fslint that I use for finding multiple files with the same name. Not sure about the appendage aspect though.
[19:55] <mulletman> fleabeard, thanks. yeah I know of fslint but yeah, am not sure how to "auto-appeand" files together after tehy are found
[19:57] <mulletman> I am able to to use find ok and find everything but then appending to files is stumping me
[20:04] <leftyfb> mulletman: find <pattern> -exec cat {} >> ~/newfile.txt \;
[20:06] <mulletman> leftyfb, yeah! thanks, it was the  -exec cat {} i dont know why but regex stuff doesnt click with me.
[20:06] <mulletman> cheers mate
[20:17] <fleabeard> hey all, using deja dup and was curious which folders I'd want to include in my backup to keep all my downloaded software/configuration in place so in the case I have to reinstall my whole OS, I don't have to redownload all those packages and configure them again? If that's even possible?
[20:28] <leftyfb> fleabeard: that's not how it works
[20:28] <leftyfb> fleabeard: only use backups for your personal files and settings/configs
[20:28] <leftyfb> packages will need to be reinstalled
[20:31] <tomreyn> but he could backup the information on installed packages, so they can be reinstalled easily.
[20:32] <tomreyn> also backing up and restoring /etc would work, if it's the same release.
[20:32] <leftyfb> sure, a list of packages. But that doesn't solve the "I don't have to redownload all those packages..."
[20:32] <tomreyn> right.
[20:33] <Paolo2> Hello
[20:36] <fleabeard> leftyfb, sorry, I have no qualms about re-downloading the packages, just not too keen on having to re-configure them all. I'm not sure where these 'per-application settings' files/folders would exist on my system.
[20:36] <leftyfb> fleabeard: usually in a dot directory in your home directory
[20:37] <leftyfb> fleabeard: for Firefox it's ~/.mozilla
[20:37] <leftyfb> fleabeard: for terminator it's ~/.config/terminator
[20:37] <OerHeks> ~/.config or their own folder, like .mozilla or .thunderbird
[20:39] <fleabeard> thanks guys, I think I'll try googling the config folder locations for all the apps I'd like to avoid re-configuring :)
[20:42] <OerHeks> i find no use in backup-ing those configs, just keep a list of programs / metapackages you install
[20:43] <fleabeard> yeah, now that I'm thinking it over, you may be right
[20:44] <Bashing-om> fleabeard: In your case, you may find 'debfoster' of interest.
[20:52] <stripe> hi everyone, any ideas on how to find the default username/password for a /home/stripe/Downloads/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img ? cheers
[20:52] <ducksucker> Hello chat
[20:54] <stripe> that should read bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img  lol

[21:09] <B1ack0p> hi
[21:09] <B1ack0p> how can i install php 7 to ubuntu?
[21:09] <B1ack0p> 18.04
[21:13] <leftyfb> B1ack0p: sudo apt install php7.2
[21:14] <leftyfb> B1ack0p: just like any other package

[21:24] <joshumax> Hey, I'm having the weirdest problem on 18.04 with my inspiron 15... It seems to be related to PSR or something. When I'm watching something on YouTube or using a full screen openGL application or loading a video up in VLC every few seconds or so, sporadically, the display will "freeze" with a still of the buffer on the screen and stay like that until I move my cursor around on the screen, or something else takes context and forces a screen refresh.
[21:25] <joshumax> It doesn't freeze the video or anything; in fact, it still plays in the background with the audio and when I jiggle my pointer it skips to the current point it's at, so it's gotta be something with my laptop's display firmware...
[21:25] <joshumax> I tried all sorts of modifications to the i915 parameters to no luck. Does anyone have some ideas to try?
[21:26] <compdoc> if it worked at one time, then the firmware wont have changed
[21:27] <compdoc> could be over heating, or ram failure
[21:27] <joshumax> compdoc: I don't know if it worked at one point. I just haven't really watched videos on this thing until recently :/
[21:27] <compdoc> no reason to think its firmware
[21:27] <joshumax> No, it's not that. Thermals are fine and I'm sure a memtest would show the same...
[21:28] <compdoc> however, if theres an update for the bios of the firmware, try that
[21:28] <compdoc> *bios or the
[21:28] <joshumax> Well I think the panel self-refresh isn't getting triggered correctly in the i915 driver
[21:28] <joshumax> Tried that. I could have _sworn_ it worked for a little while after and then regressed
[21:29] <joshumax> UEFI patch notes didn't say anything explicitly about a fix though :/
[21:30] <joshumax> Anything on the X buffer seems to refresh just fine, but when it's a GL context or DRM context...poof!
[21:32] <compdoc> when you say firmware, do you mean linux driver?
[21:33] <joshumax> Well I'm not sure where the fault is...either i915 is broken or the panel firmware is broken
[21:35] <joshumax> I'm guessing it's the panel firmware but obviously the intel hd graphics driver for Windows doesn't have this problem or Dell would hear about it
[21:38] <OerHeks> you might want newer intel driver 'xserver-xorg-video-intel	2:2.99.917+git1902220732.9e6e00~oibaf~b	Oibaf (2019-02-22) https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers?field.series_filter=bionic
[21:41] <smallfoot-> My ubuntu 19.04 didn't have desktop icons, so i added them with gnome-tweak-tool, but now when I double-click on the .desktop file it doesn't open the application
[21:42] <OerHeks> 19.04 is not supported here until release, join #ubuntu+1 for beta, smallfoot-
[21:42] <smallfoot-> I am banned from that channel since I was little
[21:42] <leftyfb> smallfoot-: feel free to take it up with #ubuntu-ops
[21:42] <smallfoot-> okay thanks
[21:44] <elec_A> Hi, I installed a script a few months ago which upgrades the kernel automatically, I have forgotten what was the name of the script. how can I find it?
[21:44] <OerHeks> sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[21:46] <joshumax> OerHeks: It's at the kernel driver level rather than the xorg driver level :/
[21:51] <OerHeks> joshumax, it is not that new, so i wonder if that intel hm57 on that inspiron 15 is too old
[21:54] <joshumax> OerHeks: Hmm?
[22:14] <jasomux> leave
[22:45] <bray90820_> BasketCase: Can someone tell me what this means and how to fix it
[22:45] <bray90820_> https://pastebin.com/raw/n53XK0Bd
[22:49] <Bashing-om> bray90820_: What shows ' sudo blkid ; sudo fdisk -lu ; cat /etc/fstab ' in repect to a swap existence ?
[23:17] <bray90820_> Bashing-om: https://pastebin.com/raw/Aq744mNT
[23:19] <EriC^^> bray90820_: the swap has an extra "e" at the start of the uuid line in /etc/fstab, also seems some configuration for initrd expects a different swap uuid
[23:20] <EriC^^> bray90820_: try "grep 9d79111a-993c-407c-a1f9-b88742182044 -R /etc/initramfs-tools" maybe we can find the file that has it
[23:20] <bray90820_> EriC^^: Do you mean this one e98f1cb73-58f9-4279-ba72-7131087eb4f9
[23:21] <EriC^^> bray90820_: yeah that's it
[23:21] <bray90820_> remove the E at the start right?
[23:21] <EriC^^> bray90820_: yeah
[23:21] <bray90820_> Is the grep needed anymore then?
[23:22] <EriC^^> bray90820_: yeah, if you want to address the initrd warning
[23:23] <bray90820_> The output of the grep is "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume:RESUME=UUID=9d79111a-993c-407c-a1f9-b88742182044"
[23:23] <EriC^^> bray90820_: ok, modify the file replacing the uuid with the correct one
[23:24] <bray90820_> what file?
[23:24] <bray90820_> "/etc/fstab"?
[23:25] <EriC^^> bray90820_: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
[23:25] <bray90820_> Sorry kinda new to this stuff
[23:25] <EriC^^> no worries
[23:26] <bray90820_> What UUID do i replace i
[23:26] <bray90820_> it with
[23:27] <EriC^^> bray90820_: this one 98f1cb73-58f9-4279-ba72-7131087eb4f9
[23:28] <OerHeks> this whole uuid=....44 is from an other machine, not your current
[23:29] <bray90820_> It is the same machine I just replace the boot drive in it a couple months ago
[23:31] <bray90820_> Ok so now lets see if that fixes my boot errors
[23:31] <EriC^^> bray90820_: first run 'sudo update-initramfs -u -k all'
[23:40] <bray90820_> Uh was I suppose to do that before I restarted?
[23:41] <bray90820_> EriC^^: I didn't do that before I restarted and now I am in emergency mode
[23:44] <EriC^^> bray90820_: that's odd, type "echo $REASON"
[23:45] <bray90820_> EriC^^: That just gives me a Blank line
[23:46] <EriC^^> bray90820_: did it mention anything before rescue mode?
[23:47] <EriC^^> bray90820_: try using the recovery mode from grub and see if that helps at all
[23:47] <bray90820_> EriC^^: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tjw748mqu1nbk2o/Error.jpg?dl=0
[23:48] <EriC^^> bray90820_: try pressing enter
[23:52] <bray90820_> Should I restart because I already entered the password
[23:52] <bray90820_> EriC^^:
[23:55] <tomreyn> bray90820_: press enter, it will tell you that the password you entered is wrong (unless you set a root password?), and then just press ctrl-d.
[23:56] <bray90820_> Ok
[23:56] <bray90820_> Yeah so I need to restart
[23:56] <tomreyn> bray90820_: why do you need to restart?
[23:58] <tomreyn> bray90820_: the screen shot you posted shows a lot of file system errors which were detected and fixed (but there can have been some data loss). what may have happened to sda1 to cause this, any idea?
[23:58] <gambl0r3> im using 1.5gb/2gb of swap. how can i increase swap?
[23:59] <tomreyn> gambl0r3: what does "1.5gb/2gb" mean?
[23:59] <OerHeks> increase swap file or partition?
