| deans | jeremyb: Why should partition 3 be left alone. It is the only one big enough to contain the files I had on the Windows machine? | 00:01 |
| mrelcee | hopefully you didn't have bitlocker on it.. | 00:02 |
| deans | mrelcee: how do I know if bitlocker was on it? I never installed bitlocker -- is that good enough to know? | 00:03 |
| mrelcee | anyway. deans: sudo ntfs-3g -o force,rw /dev/sdb3 /media/windows | 00:03 |
| mrelcee | where sdb == your device | 00:03 |
| mrelcee | I don't know how to tell. but if you did you wo't get any data.. | 00:04 |

| shevchuk | Hi! What does 'RC' mean in `efibootmgr -v` output? Like: `Boot0000* Ubuntu HD(2,GPT,xxx-xxx-xxx,0xX,0xX)/File(\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi)RC` (see the end of string) | 00:11 |
| qwefytuoityty | usb flash start with linux as EFI | 00:12 |
| shevchuk | Asking because initially there was an RC in `efibootmgr -v` output. But when I deleted boot item and created it manually with `efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 2 -w -L "Ubuntu" -l "\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi"`, created item does not have 'RC' at the end of it | 00:12 |
| qwefytuoityty | Xu | 00:13 |
| deans | mrelcee: I have to reboot. be right back (thank so much for helping me by the way) | 00:14 |
| mrelcee | welcome hope it works | 00:14 |
| shevchuk | qwefytuoityty, was you answering to me? I am indeed in a USB live system now, but 'RC' is there not just for USB entry, but for my regular Ubuntu, and some other entries, too. On my other system I dont see this 'RC' in efibootmgr output, so I got curious what it is | 00:16 |
| jeremyb | shevchuk: any answers from efibootmgr --help or man efibootmgr | 00:17 |
| qwefytuoityty | A common question for those who know how to install grub2 | 00:18 |
| deans | mrelcee: When I issue the mount command with any start offset listed for an ntfs partition it works. When I use the offset for partition 3 it doesn't work even with the force option stating the data isn't NTFS. I am going to investigate bitlocker-- because I don't know what else to do. | 00:24 |
| deans | My exact mount command was: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o loop,ro,force,offset=986794950656 dell-inspiron.190222.sda.img winmp | 00:24 |
| mrelcee | do you have access to the windows box? | 00:25 |
| deans | where offset of course changes based on partition | 00:25 |
| shevchuk | jeremyb, nope, I've looked it through, but no mentions neither in help, nor in man | 00:26 |
| deans | mrelcee: I do ... but it has a new hard drive in it. I can take that out, purchase another 1TB hard drive and place the old image back onto it. | 00:26 |
| shevchuk | will probably look source through | 00:26 |
| deans | mrelcee: The Windows box was upgraded to Ubuntu on an SSD. | 00:26 |
| deans | .... Then I discovered I had a problem when I went to retrieve the data from the disk image. | 00:27 |
| deans | I didn't expect retrieving the data from a disk image to be a problem. I never considered that it could be encrypted without my knowledge. | 00:28 |
| tomreyn | shevchuk: it'll be what efibootmgr refers to as "binary args". | 00:30 |
| qwefytuoityty | sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt next grub-install /dev/sdb ? i not in linux | 00:35 |
| qwefytuoityty | sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt next grub-install /dev/sdb ? i not in linux | 00:35 |
| qwefytuoityty | not sda | 00:35 |
| deans | mrelcee: after some investigation the problem IS BITLOCKER. I am not sure if I have Dell or Microsoft to thank but that is the problem... I will have to get the system running again somehow and decrypt it then make the image again. Thanks again for your help. | 00:35 |
| mrelcee | yep dd it back to another drive.. glad you got it sorted | 00:36 |
| mrelcee | you can use any drive same size or larger... | 00:37 |
| deans | mrelcee: I am just glad it was a fixable issue (hope I am not speaking too soon). I was afraid for a second I had lost the data. | 00:37 |
| mrelcee | wonder if you could dd the partition to a IMG file and mount that in something like kvm | 00:38 |
| deans | mrelcee: do you have an issue you are here because you need help with? | 00:38 |
| mrelcee | nah I'm good. just hang here these days, anticipating i might have problems with an ubuntu laptop but it just worked | 00:39 |
| deans | mrelcee: does bitlocker need some data not stored in the image? if so KVM wouldn't work | 00:40 |
| deans | mrelcee: for instance does bitlocker require some key stored in bios data area? | 00:40 |
| mrelcee | I'm not sure. | 00:40 |
| deans | mrelcee: I'll figure it out. I know "the path" from here... but again thanks again. I didn't even know bitlocker was a possible problem for me. | 00:41 |
| mrelcee | good luck | 00:43 |
| mrelcee | the faq on bitlocker says it's stored on the volume | 00:43 |
| tomreyn | bitlocker can store keys either in the tpm or on disk. a recovery key will be needed to restore access the data if moved to a different system. but that's all very much OT here, i guess. there is ##windows. | 00:45 |

| leftyfb | HickorySmokedBac: https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/ | 03:40 |

| leftyfb | HickorySmokedBac: that is Ubuntu Mate. Prettymuch all the same packages you'd get with regular ubuntu. | 03:42 |

| leftyfb | shouldn't cost that much. A pi is $35, SD card maybe $20 and a usb charger | 03:45 |
| HickorySmokedBac | but then you gotta get a case.. | 03:45 |

| Gerowen | What is the name of that menu in server 18.10 that lists various things you can set up during initial install? Is it just a fancy version of tasksel, or is it something else? | 05:08 |
| Gerowen | I was just wondering if there was a way to run it from a terminal post-install for easy adding of features later, like tasksel | 05:08 |
| guiverc_d | Gerowen, i'm not sure what mean, but 18.10 had two installers ubiquity & subiquity (which ISO you grabbed dictates which you saw at install) - but I don't believe they are copied onto the installed system | 05:46 |
| Gerowen | guiverc_d: I installed Ubuntu Server for amd64 in a virtual machine for the first time a week or two ago. During the install process for older versions of it, and Debian still, there's a process called "tasksel" that basically uses glorified meta packages. It gives you a little list of tasks like "SSH Server - Apache Webserver" etc., you check a box, and then it sets up a basic configuration for that service for you. There was a similar feature in the | 05:49 |
| Gerowen | 18.10 amd64 server install, but it looked different and had many different things listed, and I was just curious if it was something else. | 05:49 |
| guiverc_d | subiquity is a newer installer, i'm suspicious this is what you're asking about (esp. if you didn't use the 'live' installer) | 05:52 |

| Poppycock | hello lovely people, i'm here in hopes someone can give me a rtfm direction on my issue... my laptop running (last i recall 13.10... yes i know it's not a lts version). anyway i have rebooted it and got through grub loader and managed to load the kernel but the screen is skewed, i managed to login through the mess and try some xrandr reset options but to no avail... my screen is throwing extra | 07:58 |
| Poppycock | pixels along the horizontal axis resulting in skewed video. looks like a bunch of z's | 07:58 |
| Poppycock | any help would be so much appreciated | 07:58 |
| ducasse | Poppycock: 13.10? that's been eol for a long, long time, and thus unsupported. you need to upgrade to a supported version. | 08:02 |
| Poppycock | yeah i know | 08:03 |
| Poppycock | lol | 08:03 |
| Poppycock | kinda figured that would be what would be said | 08:03 |
| Poppycock | but i just wanted to check what was on my desktop and all before i wiped it all and gparted it | 08:03 |
| geirha | 14.04 is supported another month, so if you hurry ... | 08:03 |
| Poppycock | geirha if i could get in enough to update i'd go for it, maybe... | 08:04 |
| Poppycock | problem is it's hard to read the output of the xterm lol | 08:04 |
| Poppycock | i tried tilting my head but when each line flows into the next by like 20 pixels it gets hard to read | 08:05 |
| Poppycock | severe skew | 08:05 |
| Poppycock | i suppose my best option is to download a live filesystem and try to fix from there if i want to restore this install | 08:05 |
| Ouyes_ | hey guys, I am keeping have this problem , when login into my server via ssh, the error is -bash: /dev/null: Permission denied, I follow the instructions on internet and delete /dev/null and recreate it by command mknod /dev/null c 3 2 and chown 666 /dev/null, then it is working, but the same error pop up when reboot the server, do you know why it is doing this? | 08:06 |
| ducasse | Poppycock: boot off a live image to go through and rescue your data? | 08:06 |
| geirha | what about the virtual console, like Ctrl+Alt+F1, is that broken too? | 08:06 |
| geirha | Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back | 08:06 |
| Poppycock | ducasse yeah that's what i'm thinking | 08:06 |
| Ouyes_ | chmod, not chown | 08:07 |
| geirha | it should be generated automatically during boot | 08:07 |
| geirha | typically by being part of a special filesystem | 08:08 |

| Connecting_Media | Hi there! | 08:20 |
| Connecting_Media | In the default `~/.bashrc` in my Ubuntu installation is the line | 08:20 |
| Connecting_Media | PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}...' | 08:20 |

| Connecting_Media | Now I do understand what the `${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}` stands for | 08:21 |
| Connecting_Media | But what I am wondering about is why it is added as a string in the first one and as a variable expansion in the second | 08:21 |
| Connecting_Media | From my (possibly limited) understanding it would make more sense to have the variables expanded late, so the second snippet should be | 08:21 |

| lotuspsychje | nekowaiidesu: try to browse around on the hd a bit, maybe more errors come? | 09:13 |
| nekowaiidesu | lotuspsychje, i'll give it a go. Trying to learn more about sleuthkit at the moment to see if that leads me anywhere | 09:14 |
| lotuspsychje | nekowaiidesu: maybe if you have backup of your data already, try to reformat it? | 09:14 |
| nekowaiidesu | I'm not too worried about the drive itself tbh. I was just hoping i'd be able to recover the data with the folder-structure | 09:15 |
| nekowaiidesu | photorec just dumps everything into "recup_dir" | 09:15 |
| lotuspsychje | nekowaiidesu: you can make photorec scan on filetypes, wich is pretty nice | 09:15 |
| lotuspsychje | nekowaiidesu: its not the dir structures you want to save, but the data inside right? | 09:16 |
| nekowaiidesu | Yeah. I understand photorec looks for file type headers, which is pretty nifty | 09:16 |

| badSophia | can i recommend funny thing? | 11:46 |
| badSophia | for help | 11:46 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, it's a reddish brown grub menu | 11:46 |

| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, please wait a moment. the machine is rebooting. I just wanted to see if doing a update-grub changes anything.... Restarting now... | 11:55 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 11:55 |
| LaRose_Bleu | hi | 11:56 |
| LaRose_Bleu | i need help ssh-ing into an ubuntu instance on my laptop | 11:57 |
| LaRose_Bleu | i looked online and the tutorials / instructionals are out of date | 11:57 |
| LaRose_Bleu | they reference what i presume is the last verion of openssh before the current was updated and the config files changed | 11:58 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, ok.. update-grub changed nothing. Grub menu still appears. Now waiting for it to finish booting so I can list video drivers for you are requested... | 11:58 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, it lists information about the display. It doesn't mention "driver=" anywhere | 12:00 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: should be at bottom | 12:00 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, sorry I am blind. It says i915 | 12:00 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: allright, what about your ubuntu version and kernel please? | 12:01 |
| guiverc | LaRose_Bleu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH | 12:01 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, Ubuntu 18.04.2 #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:28:13 UTC 2019 | 12:02 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, also .. 4.15.0-45-generic | 12:03 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: looks good, just compared your grub with mine, and looks the same hmmm | 12:04 |
| whoareU | Gtk-Message: 17:45:30.856: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged. when i run virtualbox, command line prompt | 12:05 |
| lotuspsychje | whoareU: any reason why you launch virtualbox from terminal? | 12:07 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: you could try "quiet splash" to "" and update-grub again | 12:08 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, ok. I will try that | 12:08 |
| whoareU | i am used to | 12:08 |
| lotuspsychje | whoareU: its an error alot of GUI packages get, when launched from terminal, no big problem | 12:09 |
| whoareU | ok, | 12:10 |
| lotuspsychje | whoareU: i assume virtualbox just works after that? | 12:10 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, changes have been made to /etc/default/grub... machine is restarting now..... The grub menu persists | 12:12 |
| whoareU | lotuspsychje: i don't understand what you meaning , why it appear many times? | 12:14 |
| guiverc | whoareU, it's a warning message from 'upstack' of vbox; a vbox coder took a shortcut (or more likely wrote for a different [older] version of GTK+) | 12:14 |
| guiverc | whoareU, you can ignore them, only coders will understand what it's telling you (& they ignore it usually anyway) | 12:15 |
| whoareU | oh, i see, thanks of all | 12:16 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: did you recently upgraded to 18.04 maybe? | 12:17 |
| u0_a100 | who | 12:17 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, this is the grub menu I am seeing (the top entry is difficult to make out but says "*UBUNTU") https://imagebin.ca/v/4YEaV6qa7N5v | 12:17 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, yes and no. I did upgrade this from 16.04 to 18.04.2, but not in the usual way. | 12:18 |
| lotuspsychje | ah, i think i had this the same way over an upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 BlackDalek | 12:19 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: what do you mean with 'not usual way'? | 12:20 |
| LaRose_Bleu | thanks guiverc will check it out | 12:21 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, this is a horrible Apple macmini circa 2006 with 32bit boot and 64bit OS. In order to upgrade it, I could not just boot from a 18.04 installer. I had to format it. Reinstall Mac OS Snow Leopard. Install rEFIt boot loader, only then could I boot from the 18.04 installer DVD. | 12:21 |
| guiverc | LaRose_Bleu, if it's Ubuntu documentation (ie. wiki.ubuntu.com, help.ubuntu.com) I'm interested in out-of-date, so it can be updated.. if it's blogs etc. (or non-Ubuntu) we can't do anything | 12:22 |
| guiverc | (i'm referring to what you said was out-of-date unspecified ...) | 12:23 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, I did try to upgrade using so-release-upgrade.. but that only broke the system and made it unbootable because i guess it was expecting a "normal" boot loader | 12:23 |
| lotuspsychje | !ltsupgrade | BlackDalek | 12:23 |
| ubottu | BlackDalek: Upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.1 is now available, if you do not receive the upgrade window try update-manager -c | 12:23 |
| blackflow | shouldn't that be 18.04.2 by now? | 12:24 |
| lotuspsychje | im not sure blackflow | 12:24 |
| lotuspsychje | new iso's are .2 right | 12:24 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, but Apple were smoking something strong when they created this machine... so it broke. Anyway. It was essentially reformatted. made an Apple OS and then reformatted again and installed with the current OS. | 12:25 |
| whoareU | whether "Ubuntu does not sign the third party vbox* kernel modules" is true? i can't sign vbox module on my 18.04 version | 12:25 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, is it possible that it is Apple's screwy hardware causing the grub menu to appear every boot? | 12:26 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: i dont think so, i presume its something from the upgrade | 12:26 |
| lotuspsychje | i recall having the same problem on an upgrade once | 12:27 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, hmmm... but what could be left over? something from the Mac OS causing the problem? | 12:27 |
| LaRose_Bleu | guiverc: its non ubuntu, havent been led to an ubuntu wiki yet, i think. what imdoing, or trying to do, is ssh into my ubuntu session on WSL, and i am having several issues | 12:28 |
| BlackDalek | When the mac OS was put back onto it there shouldn't have been any trace of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or grub left on it... Would have been replaced by Apple's own boot loader etc. | 12:29 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: try setting grub timeout to 1 and update-grub after | 12:29 |
| guiverc | :) on non-Ubuntu doco... I'm heading to bed LaRose_Bleu so can't help now sorry | 12:29 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, ok | 12:29 |
| LaRose_Bleu | its alrigh guiverc i'll figure it out eventually | 12:30 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, should I also put "quiet splash" back too? | 12:30 |
| LaRose_Bleu | or i'll give up and move on, whichever comes first | 12:30 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: if you want logo boot instead of textboot sure | 12:31 |
| mra90 | hmm I am seeking an advice, i am going to develop kernel driver on my VM ubuntu machine, now how should I set up the test env to don't brick it? | 12:31 |
| mra90 | another VM inside or sth else? | 12:31 |
| BlackDalek | did "quiet splash" have an underscore between it or just a normal space? | 12:32 |
| BlackDalek | I can't remember | 12:32 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: just a space | 12:33 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, restarting it now... | 12:34 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, the same grub menu you saw in my imagebin paste persists. It is waiting for me to press enter still. | 12:36 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: you update-grub right? | 12:37 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, yes... right before I did sudo shutdown now | 12:37 |
| lotuspsychje | allright | 12:37 |
| lotuspsychje | im out of ideas then BlackDalek | 12:37 |
| BlackDalek | I blame apple | 12:37 |
| BlackDalek | other than needing to press enter at every boot, everything else is working fine (for now) | 12:38 |
| lotuspsychje | maybe a bleachbit system cleanup BlackDalek | 12:38 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, what does bleachbit mean? | 12:38 |
| lotuspsychje | i assume more its something from upgrading | 12:39 |
| lotuspsychje | !info bleachbit | BlackDalek | 12:39 |
| ubottu | BlackDalek: bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0-2 (bionic), package size 316 kB, installed size 2003 kB | 12:39 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, is that safe to use or will it likely break something? | 12:40 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: i never had issues with it, but some say its wise to read the manual first :p | 12:41 |
| lotuspsychje | BlackDalek: in my case i enable all options and wipe alot of space clean | 12:42 |
| BlackDalek | lotuspsychje, I think I will leave it for now... just moments into browsing the options for bleachbit in its GUI, a "system problem detected" error popped up so I just quit the thing without letting it make any changes. I need to sleep now. BYe | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | allrighty | 12:47 |
| TvL2386 | hey all, I've got a directory "files" which is chmod 744, don't ask me why. When some random user does "ls files" he get's a `ls: cannot access files/..: permission denied` `ls: cannot access files/file1.csv: permission denied` etcetera | 12:50 |
| TvL2386 | `ls` prints a lot of question marks in the following output.... | 12:51 |

| === hussan is now known as t0th_- | ||

| stripe | hi all, cant seem to find a native version of docker (only a snap) is there a newer viable alternative or is it back to debootstrap and chroot? cheers | 13:03 |
| LaRose_Bleu | hi, quick question, i am trying to update from 18.04 to 18.10 but i get an error saying lxd cant be reached im offline and snapd cant be updated, which then rolls the whole upgrade back. if i uninstall snapd with aptitude (as lxd is a snapd thing, if im not wrong) will i be able to install it after upgrade? or is removing it at all a bad idea? | 13:17 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: lxd is both on snap and apt | 13:21 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: wich one did you install? | 13:21 |
| LaRose_Bleu | i think its the snapd version coz i havent installed anything on this session yet | 13:22 |
| LaRose_Bleu | i installed the session then tried to upgrade it immediately after | 13:22 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: why do you want to remove whole snapd exactly? | 13:22 |
| LaRose_Bleu | because whenever i try to upgrade, right, it fails with a "snap is offline, upgrade will be rolled back" or something similar | 13:23 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: and you are connected to internet? | 13:24 |
| LaRose_Bleu | yes lol, im on IRC on the same machine | 13:24 |
| lotuspsychje | right | 13:24 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: maybe try to purge the lxd snap first and update your system after | 13:25 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo snap remove | 13:25 |
| LaRose_Bleu | thats what im asking if its fine to do or if it wont cause problems | 13:25 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: i think you mixing up a few things here | 13:26 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: you can safely remove snaps, but i dont think you want to remove the whole snapd system right? | 13:26 |
| LaRose_Bleu | my main issue is actually the snapd system itself, i think | 13:27 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: if you purge snapd with apt, might lead to unwanted behaviour as gnome now relies on it by default | 13:27 |
| LaRose_Bleu | im using a headless session so gnome should be fine | 13:27 |
| lotuspsychje | LaRose_Bleu: thats your own choice indeed | 13:28 |

| AlexPortable | So how can i get hibernate to restore my windows? | 15:52 |
| lordcirth_ | However, hibernation is, IMHO, kind of obsolete | 15:53 |
| OerHeks | hybernate and restore windows? explain ? | 15:53 |
| Meili | lordcirth_: how so? | 15:53 |
| AlexPortable | I press hibernate, pc turns off | 15:53 |
| AlexPortable | turn it on, it's like i never pressed hibernate but just shut it down | 15:53 |
| lordcirth_ | Meili, hibernation was originally implemented because booting was far too slow. That is no longer true. Also, several DE's will save your open windows and re-launch them. | 15:54 |
| AlexPortable | lordcirth_: please tell those DE's to shutdown my laptop when it's empty and in standby | 15:55 |
| Meili | lordcirth_: regardless of original intent, being able to pause work (overnight) without having to close and open all my stuff again and actually power off a machine is still usefull | 15:55 |
| Meili | and I dont know home Gnome is doing, but KDE fails horribly at restoring my desktop between boots | 15:55 |
| Meili | *home=how | 15:56 |
| hggdh | I know suspend wotks, I use it continuously. Hibernation... I am not sure. There were some serious problems with hibernation of old. | 15:56 |

| genii | timbozeman: Did you try selecting the previous kernel from GRUB menu? | 16:10 |
| timbozeman | genii, it wouldnt post initially. i unplugged all my hard drives,but the ssd ubuntu is on and grub would show up. then any kernel version id try would fail to load kernel modules. if i try recovery mode it hangs on "a start job is running for dev-disk-...some-hash.device" | 16:16 |
| timbozeman | i booted off a usb and was able to see that ssd's files though | 16:17 |
| genii | Sounds like you might have a hardware issue if it's refusing to post. Since this part happens before any software beings to load. | 16:18 |

| Guest21272 | hello | 16:32 |
| OerHeks | :-) | 16:32 |
| Guest21272 | need some help | 16:32 |
| Guest21272 | about ubuntu mate os | 16:32 |
| lotuspsychje | ask a question first Guest21272 | 16:33 |
| OerHeks | Guest21272, ask, wait and see | 16:33 |
| shibboleth | kernel patches today? | 16:34 |
| lotuspsychje | !usn | shibboleth follow the news here | 16:35 |
| ubottu | shibboleth follow the news here: Please see https://usn.ubuntu.com/ for information about recent Ubuntu security updates. | 16:35 |
| Guest21272 | i am new here...i have a toshiba satellite laptop i installed ubuntu mate ...i have nvidia gforce video card ,,,in aditional drivers it apears that i am using the right video driver | 16:35 |
| shibboleth | i was asking since both usn and packages.ubuntu.com is usually a day behind the repos | 16:35 |
| lotuspsychje | shibboleth: fixing security updates takes a while, they come out in your updates | 16:36 |
| shibboleth | is lotuspsychje a bot? | 16:36 |
| lotuspsychje | no | 16:36 |
| shibboleth | ok. did you read/understand my question(s) then? | 16:37 |
| Guest21272 | watching videos youtube etc in windows in hd is not the same wAY like ubuntu | 16:37 |
| kinghat | how would you grep more than one thing from an output? `grep -o '"filesize":\s[0-9]*' '"fps":\s[0-9]*'` | 16:37 |
| OerHeks | shibboleth, did you understand the usn url? if there are patches, they would appear there | 16:38 |
| willksm | ask #bash kinghat | 16:38 |
| OerHeks | so i guess no patches today, maybe tomorrow | 16:38 |
| shibboleth | OerHeks, yes, one or two days later | 16:38 |
| BrianBlaze420 | kinghat, grep 'foo*'\''bar' *.txt | 16:38 |
| BrianBlaze420 | type deal | 16:38 |
| blackflow | shibboleth: USN and packages are synchronized, afaik. perhaps your mirror is out of sync? | 16:39 |
| shibboleth | they are def not in sync with repos | 16:39 |
| shibboleth | usb has gotten better | 16:39 |
| shibboleth | usn | 16:39 |
| blackflow | shibboleth: have an example? | 16:39 |
| shibboleth | now it's maybe six, twelve hours behind, used to be 24+ | 16:40 |
| shibboleth | packages? still 24+ | 16:40 |
| blackflow | shibboleth: I mean which package update is not yet in the repos, and there's USN for it | 16:40 |
| OerHeks | shibboleth, is there a special patch you are referring to? | 16:40 |
| shibboleth | my question was: will there be a kernel update today? everyones answer: check usn/packages. my answer to that: these are usually somewhat behind | 16:41 |
| shibboleth | never mind, i'll ask in #hardened | 16:41 |
| willksm | Guest21272, I don't think anybody understands what you are asking, rephrase your question? | 16:41 |
| timbozeman | it seems like one of my spindles died. if i unplug it the computer posts. is it possible that its boot sector had grub witch pointed to the ssd to load? | 16:41 |
| shibboleth | you go back to whatever | 16:41 |
| OerHeks | lolz shibboleth | 16:41 |
| OerHeks | bye! | 16:42 |
| compdoc | timbozema, you think its shorted out? | 16:42 |
| blackflow | shibboleth: fwiw, I think its your mirror. I see the packages in the repos I use right there when I get the USN | 16:42 |
| timbozeman | compdoc, the spindle? | 16:43 |
| shibboleth | i have on 20+ occasions found not no kernel updates listed on packages but found them when actually apt update | 16:43 |
| hggdh | IIRC USNs are sent out after giving time for the security servers to be updated | 16:43 |
| shibboleth | found no even | 16:43 |
| ioria | timbozeman, why don't you boot a livecd and run fsck and smartctl -a /dev/sdX and that drive ? | 16:43 |
| timbozeman | ill try that | 16:43 |
| ioria | *on | 16:43 |
| blackflow | shibboleth: oh wait, which USNs are you referring to? usn.ubuntu.com publications? | 16:43 |
| shibboleth | mhm | 16:44 |
| blackflow | shibboleth: for example I see now 3893-2 is missing, Bind update for 12.04, got in the mail earlier today. | 16:44 |
| OerHeks | usually the usn publishes *after* the patches are rolled out | 16:44 |
| blackflow | actually, it's published if you access it directly. not in the list front page | 16:45 |

| blackflow | Jon30: only root can chown | 16:47 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji: are you using the nextcloud snap? | 16:48 |
| Jon30 | blackflow: gotcha! thanks | 16:48 |
| OerHeks | kunji, that is where nextcloud seems to be mounted? has nextcloud started? | 16:48 |
| Guest21272 | hd videos on youtube are not the same quality in ubuntu mate in windows 10 watching hd videos have a great quality what do i have to do...i have nvdia video card | 16:49 |
| kunji | lotuspsychje: No, ... at least I don't think so, but I did try the snap package for the client at one point. 'which nextcloud' is pointint me to /usr/bin/nextcloud and I don't see the nextcloud snap in /snap/ | 16:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest21272: are your local video's playing nicely, lets say on vlc? | 16:50 |
| kunji | OerHeks: Yes, the client app is started, I do not think it is the snap version | 16:50 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji: df -h you can see the snap loop dirs there | 16:51 |
| Guest21272 | have't tried vlc yet but i watch youtube often | 16:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest21272: could you try it to compare with youtube please? | 16:51 |
| kunji | lotuspsychje: Yep, I see them, none for nextcloud. | 16:51 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji: ok tnx for checking | 16:52 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji: wich ubuntu version are you on? up to date also? | 16:52 |
| kunji | lotuspsychje: I did have it in the past though, was having some problems with the regular one crashing, but the snap one wasn't working any better. Ubuntu is 16.04. | 16:53 |
| OerHeks | what is this Fiji.app ? | 16:53 |
| binop | Hello everywhere, where is the best way to link applications that I downloaded without the package manager to run them from anywhere ? /usr/bin or somewhere else ? | 16:53 |
| OerHeks | binop, standard would be /opt/ | 16:53 |
| kunji | OerHeks: It's a java program for all sorts of scientific image analysis. I have no idea why gnome-software is looking there. | 16:54 |
| kunji | OerHeks: A sort of easy version with all the stuff bundled for ImageJ https://imagej.net/ImageJ | 16:55 |
| blackflow | binop: personally I'd go for /usr/local/bin/ it's already in the PATH | 16:56 |
| === velix_inuse is now known as velix | ||
| binop | ok thank you OerHeks and blackflow, i put it in /usr/local/bin and it works :) | 16:57 |
| kunji | Pretty much, I want to make sure gnome-software on my system isn't doing anything malicious... and I don't want to try reinstalling it until I verify this in case I would be removing something that warrants further investigation. | 17:04 |

| qwebirc89090 | Hey hi hello | 17:08 |
| kunji | Hmm... I guess I see why it can't find it, Fiji.app is an empty folder (I haven't synced the contents), but I don't know why it was looking to begin with. | 17:13 |
| mattia9393 | hi | 17:20 |
| rapidwave | How do I make sure the MySQL extension for PHP is active? | 17:20 |
| mattia9393 | i've a problem with my lenovo x230 | 17:20 |
| mattia9393 | x240* | 17:20 |
| mattia9393 | sorry | 17:20 |
| tomreyn | rapidwave: phpinfo() | 17:21 |
| mattia9393 | hi, I have a problem with my thinkpad x240. I have xubuntu 18.04. I often use the integrated sim reader for data traffic with an iliad card. Since yesterday it has stopped working. I tried to insert the sim that I use on the smartphone and it works without problems, I tried to put the sim of the smarphone to the pc and the wind reads it. How can I resolve? It always remains fixed on mobile band search | 17:22 |
| ah2s | rapidwave: also, make sure you restart apache after you install php | 17:23 |
| mattia9393 | ? | 17:24 |
| tomreyn | mattia9393: so you're saying that the sim card you had on your thinkpad x240, running ubuntu 18.04, fails to connect to the mobile network without you making any changes (it worked fine before). And that cross testing this sim card with a different one (fro your smartphone) shows that your laptop can still get online on mobile networks using a sim card, just not the one you had there before. Is this correct? | 17:29 |
| mattia9393 | tomreyn is correct | 17:30 |
| tomreyn | mattia9393: then the cross testing seems to indicate that the sim card you had on the laptop is the problem. | 17:32 |
| tomreyn | Talk to the provider, ask them to replace it. | 17:32 |
| mattia9393 | I can not figure out where the problem is. Because if I put the card that I use on the PC to the smartphone it works and if I put the card I use on the smartphone at the pc it works. | 17:34 |
| tomreyn | mattia9393: if the card you used to have on the laptop stopped working there, and another card still works there, then it does suggest this to me. you ruled out that a software change introduced this issue by testing a different sim card successfully on the laptop. | 17:37 |
| tomreyn | so it should be a hardware issue. | 17:37 |
| tomreyn | (note that it could also be a thermal issue, where the sim card stops working if ti gets too hot on the laptop, but it doesn't get this hot on the smartphone.) | 17:39 |
| tomreyn | anyways, we pretty much ruled out software, and that's the only thing this channel is about. | 17:39 |
| OerHeks | is there a lease active, when switching pc<>phone | 17:40 |
| OerHeks | spoof your mac perhaps? but you claim it did work before | 17:40 |
| AlexPortable | can someone help me getting hibernate to actually restore my windows? | 17:41 |
| OerHeks | AlexPortable, did you try the guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate#swsusp_Troubleshooting | 17:43 |
| OerHeks | there are tons of reasons why it can fail, chipset, or - settings,.. | 17:43 |
| kunji | OerHeks: I think I tracked down why it is looking for that... at some point a .desktop file was created in ~/.local/share/applications for ImageJ, named ImageJ2.desktop and it specifies that icon location. That's a relief. | 17:44 |
| AlexPortable | OerHeks: how cn i figuer out my swap partition? | 17:44 |
| Cheez | rapidwave: it's worth noting that the "mysql" extension in the classic sense of the term has been removed from php for a long time now | 17:44 |
| Cheez | there is mysqli and PDO, PDO has drivers for mysql | 17:45 |
| Cheez | but the mysql extension that provided the mysql_ functions was removed a long time ago | 17:45 |
| OerHeks | swapon -s ( show) | 17:46 |
| kunji | AlexPortable: You mean to adjust the size/existence of a swap space? You can use Gparted... but make a backup first if you're going to be moving/resizing existing partitions. | 17:46 |
| OerHeks | kunji, good find! | 17:46 |
| AlexPortable | kunji: no i mean pointing grub to my swap partition for hibernate to work | 17:46 |
| AlexPortable | file rather | 17:46 |
| AlexPortable | and what keyboard layout do i need so i can type the word -won't- with the t appearing (without having to press space), while keeping it possible to write nó without having to press spacebar. sortof when ' is pressed and a vowel is typed, put it on the vowel | 17:47 |
| AlexPortable | if ' is pressed and the next key is a consonant, it should just show the ' and the consonant. If the ' is pressed and the next key is a vowel, it should put the ' on the vowel, for example á è û | 17:49 |
| AlexPortable | Iḿ using US international with dead keys (which should be the correct layout), yet I fail to get it to work | 17:49 |
| bryanroderyck | hi im having security issue when downloading tor | 17:50 |
| lordcirth_ | !details | bryanroderyck | 17:51 |
| ubottu | bryanroderyck: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 17:51 |
| hggdh | AlexPortable: this is an artifact of the US-international layout. You should press space if you want the actual ' (or ", or ~, or `) to be used | 17:52 |
| AlexPortable | well i should for vowels, but not for consonants | 17:52 |
| AlexPortable | for example ' + t = nothing, until i press spacebar and then the t | 17:52 |
| hggdh | AlexPortable: ' plus c results in ć... | 17:52 |
| AlexPortable | i dont wan tthat | 17:53 |
| AlexPortable | i want vowels only | 17:53 |
| bryanroderyck | im on ubuntu 16.04 and im having a message of security before the tor bundle browser downloading end | 17:53 |
| AlexPortable | bryanroderyck: waht security message? | 17:53 |
| kunji | AlexPortable: No idea about the keyboard. About Grub, I don't think Grub needs to know where they swap partition is.. or if it does then it is responsible for finding it. swap is only mentioned 5 times in the manual and none seem to be in that context https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html The community help wiki doesn't seem to say anything about that either https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting | 17:53 |
| tomreyn | bryanroderyck: and how are you downloading, and where from (copy url)? | 17:53 |
| bryanroderyck | a message saying the tor bundle browser cant cntinue | 17:54 |
| bryanroderyck | also iget the wifi paswword message all the time ...is thata virus ? | 17:55 |
| kunji | AlexPortable: Ah, this may help though https://superuser.com/questions/383140/linux-grub2-how-to-resume-from-hibernation You can find the XY he refers to with 'sudo fdisk -l | grep swap' Should be something like /dev/sdxy, x will be a letter and y will be a number. | 17:57 |
| OerHeks | bryanroderyck, how do you install the tor browser, what guide do you follow? | 17:59 |
| kunji | AlexPortable: Ah, nvm, I get what you're doing now, OerHeks had the answer. | 18:00 |
| bryanroderyck | i have intall the browser from the ubuntu software | 18:00 |
| OerHeks | oke, that is depreciated | 18:01 |
| OerHeks | !tor | 18:01 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | 18:01 |
| kunji | Hmm, seems that those two warnings were only warnings, having removed those .desktop files so gnome-software is no longer trying to load those icons, now all it does is segfault with no other message. | 18:03 |
| kunji | reinstalled, same thing happens, the segfault happens just after the Editor's Picks icons load. | 18:04 |
| bryanroderyck | i have use the command to install but doesnt work | 18:08 |
| AlexPortable | any suggestions to fix the keyboard layout? | 18:09 |
| AlexPortable | and maybe multitouch | 18:09 |

| ioria | kunji, ok | 18:14 |
| kunji | OerHeks: Thanks for your help as well. | 18:14 |
| tomreyn | bryanroderyck: if you want to use the Tor Browser Bundle, download it here (only): https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en - this is not supported here, though. | 18:15 |
| ioria | kunji, prefer-local should prefer local file sources to AppStream | 18:15 |
| kunji | ioria: Makes sense | 18:15 |
| tomreyn | bryanroderyck: this said, there are other ways to use tor on ubuntu, but they will be less safe when it comes to protecting your privacy. | 18:15 |
| ioria | kunji, you can remove the apt version and try the snap one | 18:16 |
| kunji | ioria: Oh... I didn't realize that would have a snap, that should work | 18:16 |
| AlexPortable | OerHeks: your suggestion didn't yield any success, just brings up a new session like i never pressed hibernate | 18:16 |

| _alx_ | compdoc: no, the archive is fairly large (100gb) but the first 99% (200,000+ files) were very fast, and now it takes minutes each file. | 18:22 |
| kunji | _alx_: is that 99% by number of files or by the disk size? | 18:23 |
| kunji | That is, the disk space they occupy. | 18:23 |
| kunji | Maybe the biggest files are last? | 18:24 |
| _alx_ | kunji: should be, but it's at over 350k+ files now. It's being done on an external hd with plenty of space =. The files should all be very small but the .desc extension I don't know what that is | 18:25 |
| compdoc | _alx_, open the System Monitor, then Resources tab. is it using lots of swap? | 18:25 |
| _alx_ | compdoc: 25.7% | 18:25 |
| compdoc | not horrible, i guess | 18:26 |
| compdoc | _alx_, what cpu you have? | 18:26 |
| _alx_ | compdoc: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/64900/intel-core-i7-3615qm-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-30-ghz.html | 18:32 |
| _alx_ | compdoc: I could run it on my other machine that has a 4770k | 18:33 |
| compdoc | Ivy Bridge, but still pretty fast | 18:33 |
| compdoc | it has aes | 18:34 |
| compdoc | how much ram? you ever read the drive's SMART info? | 18:34 |
| _alx_ | compdoc: 16gb ram, and it says SMART is not supported on the external drive where its trying to extract everything | 18:35 |
| compdoc | 16G should be plenty | 18:36 |
| _alx_ | compdoc: it's a public archive if you want to try? | 18:36 |
| compdoc | does it extract from the same drive its writing to? | 18:37 |
| _alx_ | yes | 18:37 |
| compdoc | can you store the file internally, and extract to the external? | 18:37 |
| _alx_ | sure, but i feel strange about stopping the process that's already running because it's been running for so long already | 18:37 |
| compdoc | oh, thats ok | 18:38 |
| _alx_ | what if it just too another hour | 18:38 |
| compdoc | I have a fast desktop with no externakl drives, so they might not compare | 18:38 |
| kunji | which archive? | 18:38 |
| _alx_ | kunji: https://archive.org/details/wiki_imslp_org_20140106 | 18:40 |
| leonardus | if my ubuntu installation is encrypted, is there a point in doing a "secure erase" on files, or is deleting them enough? | 18:40 |
| kunji | _alx_: "Be aware that this XML dump is partially broken." | 18:40 |
| _alx_ | kunji: is it possible he meant the dump would take almost 2 months to decompress? | 18:41 |
| lordcirth_ | leonardus, depends, if the key is ever compromised, then they could be recovered. 'shred' might be safer. | 18:41 |
| compdoc | heh | 18:42 |
| leonardus | lordcirth_, but if someone stole my computer and didn't know the key, there's no way they can be recovered? | 18:42 |
| lordcirth_ | leonardus, unless they brute force, steal, or guess your password. | 18:42 |
| lordcirth_ | "shred -n1 -z -u" is what I usually use | 18:42 |
| kunji | _alx_: I don't know if it will ever decompress if it is partially broken. The .desc files are probably description files, maybe from Avid or something like that. | 18:43 |
| lordcirth_ | It's also technically possible, though very unlikely, that AES-256 will suddenly be broken. Also possible for there to be a bug in LUKS or the scripts aroun it (it did happen once) | 18:43 |
| leonardus | lordcirth_, that happened? where can I read about that? sounds interesting | 18:45 |
| _alx_ | kunji: so you're suggesting ask for or wait for a new data dump? | 18:46 |
| kunji | _alx_: Oh, hmm, what he says isn't quite clear. The XML dump is corrupted... so I guess it should extract still but some will be corrupted. I'm not sure if he means that or if he means the zipped one is corrupted, in which case it may not unzip properly. | 18:47 |
| _alx_ | kunji: I thought he meant the xml files were corrupted, not the dump itself | 18:47 |
| kunji | _alx_: Is the torrent version zipped? | 18:48 |
| _alx_ | kunji: yes | 18:49 |
| lordcirth_ | leonardus, trying to find it, it's hard to google | 18:49 |
| _alx_ | kunji: I will try something else | 18:50 |
| _alx_ | kunji compdoc thank you for your time! | 18:50 |
| ccm | hi! @everyone | 19:00 |
| ccm | # | 19:00 |
| ccm | Is this general? | 19:02 |
| ccm | Hello? | 19:02 |
| ccm | 😁 | 19:02 |
| hggdh | ccm: we see you. Please just ask your question | 19:03 |
| ccm | Ok Thanks | 19:03 |
| Exterminador | stupid question: can I create network interfaces and assign a specific process to it? | 19:04 |
| ccm | I was thinking of setting up a slack community, I was wondering if it was "ok" | 19:04 |
| ccm | I want to create one, but I dont know if it is legal+ok with community members+ok with canotical+ubuntu | 19:04 |
| leftyfb | Exterminador: only if the application support binding/listening it's services to a particular interface/ip | 19:05 |
| ccm | hggdb: Do you know someone I can talk to about this? | 19:06 |
| hggdh | ccm: probably yes, it will be OK, as long as you do not mis-use possible trademarks/copyrights. But this is not the place to discuss it (this channel is reserved for *support* of Ubuntu) | 19:06 |
| ccm | WHere can I discuss it? | 19:06 |
| hggdh | ccm: I personally do not, anymore. Try asking on #ubuntu-discuss, or #ubuntu-offtopic. They might know, there | 19:06 |
| ccm | is there a community channel? | 19:07 |
| hggdh | ccm: ah, yes. #ubuntu-community-team, methinks | 19:07 |
| ccm | Thanks!!!!! | 19:07 |

| flusheddata | Hi, ya'l | 19:46 |
| flusheddata | I need some help on Ubuntu 18.10/LibreOffice/GPG | 19:47 |
| flusheddata | For some reason I cannot sign LibreOffice documents using Open PGP Certificates | 19:48 |
| flusheddata | It works ok with X509 certs tho | 19:48 |
| flusheddata | Any Spanish speaking user here? | 19:49 |
| mustmodify | I have ubuntu 18.04 server on my dev machine. Through my own genius, somehow I uninstalled all my networking stuff... dhcp utilities are gone. ifconfig works, but shows only two network... 'lo' and 'docker'. I burned a DVD of Ubuntu server. I don't want to completely reinstall because, as my 10 year old daughter says, that would be poop. I just want to use it "apt-get install ubuntu-server", which presumably includes networking. | 19:49 |

| black_13 | what is the best way to to remote into an ubuntu linux system for osx | 19:52 |
| leftyfb | black_13: ssh | 19:52 |
| xamithanx | what | 19:52 |
| xamithanx | ubuntu system for osx? | 19:52 |
| leftyfb | xamithanx: I think they're referring to osx as being the client | 19:53 |
| black_13 | vnc ? or better from osx to ubuntu | 19:53 |
| xamithanx | Oh, so from osx | 19:53 |
| OerHeks | ssh, vnc perhaps | 19:53 |
| flusheddata | mustmodify: have you tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager | 19:53 |
| compdoc | mustmodify, you might never have installed the utils youre talking about. have you tried setting up netplan? | 19:53 |
| mustmodify | flusheddata: no, let me give it a shot. I wasn't sure what package names to use. | 19:53 |
| flusheddata | ;-) | 19:53 |
| mustmodify | compdoc: networking has been working for several years. I certainly uninstalled it. | 19:54 |
| mustmodify | restarting, as I was in the install CD's UI | 19:55 |
| mustmodify | that's interesting. "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - resource temporarily unavailable" | 19:57 |
| mustmodify | but I just restarted. | 19:57 |
| OerHeks | that means unattended updates are running? | 19:58 |
| OerHeks | just wait a minute, and try again | 19:58 |
| johnfg | hi folks | 19:58 |
| mustmodify | k | 19:58 |
| mustmodify | what does the --reinstall flag do? | 19:59 |
| mustmodify | NM, I'll just ask `man` | 19:59 |
| johnfg | I wanted to install ubuntu-server-18.04 in a dual-boot system, on /dev/vg0. | 19:59 |
| mustmodify | OK, it worked this time. | 20:00 |
| mustmodify | But it didn't work. | 20:00 |
| johnfg | However, when I boot the live dvd and get to the part of the install for choosing where to install, it doesn't give me the option to select an existing vg or lv. | 20:00 |
| johnfg | Am I missing something? | 20:00 |
| mustmodify | I must have purged, because it says it needs 13 NEW packages. | 20:00 |
| mustmodify | So either I need to get this machine to use networking even without network-manager installed, which would be interesting, or I need to use the DVD as a source for apt-get, or I need to reinstall JUST THE OS... | 20:01 |
| mustmodify | Or as a last resort, wipe and reinstall everything. | 20:01 |
| mustmodify | Pretty much in order of preference, though the first two should be swapped. | 20:02 |
| === pav is now known as phd | ||
| compdoc | you dont need network-manager. I used to remove it | 20:05 |
| compdoc | now I just ignore it | 20:05 |
| mustmodify | ok, well... | 20:06 |
| mustmodify | that's fine but I do need to get a DHCP lease. | 20:06 |
| compdoc | setup netplan | 20:06 |
| mustmodify | I'd rather get the old stuff working again. :) | 20:08 |
| compdoc | 18.04 has not been around for several years. just a few months. netplan is a new thing, and Ive read breifly that updating from an earlier OS will try to convert it for you | 20:08 |
| leftyfb | upgrading keeps ifupdown in place | 20:09 |
| mustmodify | So ... I see apt-cdrom | 20:09 |
| mustmodify | Wait, what package(s) do I need to get normal DHCP working? presumably isc-dhcp-client | 20:10 |
| mustmodify | what else? | 20:10 |
| cmcintosh | hey gang i have a single USB external drive, I am looking to install linux on | 20:12 |
| cmcintosh | do I need to get another smaller usb for the boot installer? | 20:12 |
| cmcintosh | or is there a way to just install it onto the single USB somehow? | 20:13 |
| xamithanx | I've used virtual machine with .iso file and usb passthrough to install before | 20:13 |
| xamithanx | Not ideal but didn't have a 2nd usb or cd|dvd at the time | 20:13 |
| lordcirth_ | cmcintosh, you want a full, read-write ubuntu install? Other USB, DVD, or VM with usb passthrough are all options | 20:13 |
| cmcintosh | ah so like load up the iso onto Virtualbox can do it then | 20:13 |
| cmcintosh | awesome | 20:13 |
| lordcirth_ | I've also done debootstrap, but that requires an already-working Linux install | 20:13 |
| lordcirth_ | yeah. You will need the PUEL-licensed extension pack to Vbox for USB passthrough | 20:14 |
| cmcintosh | ah crap | 20:15 |
| cmcintosh | or rather | 20:15 |
| cmcintosh | not sure what that means | 20:15 |
| lordcirth_ | cmcintosh, what OS are you on right now? | 20:16 |
| cmcintosh | i have a windows 10 box | 20:17 |
| compdoc | Ive tried booting ubuntu from a usb, but after awhile the usb stick would always start having issues. even on brand new ones. does ubuntu have the option of minimum writes, like some other OSes have? | 20:17 |
| lordcirth_ | cmcintosh, you need this extension: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.0.4/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.4.vbox-extpack | 20:18 |
| ioria | cmcintosh, if you burn the iso on usb pendrive with rufus and install on the external drive, you'll be up in 20 minutes | 20:18 |
| cmcintosh | i dont have a second USB atm | 20:19 |
| cmcintosh | and its 1am :/ | 20:19 |
| cmcintosh | rather 4am | 20:19 |
| cmcintosh | ah i think i have that one installed already the VB ext that is | 20:20 |
| lordcirth_ | cmcintosh, ok. then you should be able to use USB passthrough to pass the external drive into to VM, boot the iso, and install | 20:20 |
| lordcirth_ | cmcintosh, is this a USB hard drive or a flash drive? | 20:21 |
| mustmodify | so I did `sudo systemctl start networking` and it complains that "/dev/stderr: No such device or address" | 20:23 |
| mustmodify | ... which seems odd. | 20:23 |
| compdoc | did you install anything? that missing stuff you said? | 20:24 |
| mustmodify | nothing yet. | 20:24 |
| mustmodify | I'm still trying to get apt-get working from the cdrom | 20:24 |
| mustmodify | I used apt-cdrom and that seemed to work, but apt-get still fails. | 20:24 |
| compdoc | just create a netplan file. its easy. we can help you | 20:25 |
| mustmodify | ok. | 20:25 |
| mustmodify | But ... sorry to be dense... if I use netplan, then the next step would be to start networking, right? | 20:25 |
| compdoc | no. you apply the config and it orks | 20:26 |
| compdoc | works | 20:26 |
| mustmodify | I see. | 20:26 |
| mustmodify | So it won't need to create something at /dev/stderr ? | 20:26 |
| cmcintosh | thanks again lordcirth_ save me a wait for the store to open ;) | 20:26 |
| compdoc | you would never create anything there | 20:26 |
| mustmodify | I thought not. | 20:26 |
| mustmodify | But I tried to start networking and the error I got was "cannot create /dev/stderr: No such device or address" | 20:27 |
| mustmodify | Anyway, netplan. | 20:27 |
| compdoc | type 'ip a' does it list your nic? | 20:27 |
| demiseed | hey yall | 20:27 |
| demiseed | can someone tell my why im getting a permission error when trying to ./ on a fresh vps? | 20:28 |
| mustmodify | yes | 20:28 |
| compdoc | what is the name of the nic? | 20:28 |
| demiseed | -bash: ./manage.py: Permission denied | 20:28 |
| demiseed | but am running as root ? ;d | 20:28 |

| === ramon is now known as Guest18879 | ||
| mustmodify | enp2s0 | 20:31 |
| demiseed | genii i think so? | 20:31 |
| compdoc | great. type cd /etc/netplan to switch to that folder | 20:32 |
| mustmodify | compdoc: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NCwKMhqAS3MHrdz16 | 20:32 |
| mustmodify | enp2s0 | 20:33 |
| compdoc | you have 2 nics? | 20:33 |
| mustmodify | yes | 20:33 |
| mustmodify | I thought I was having an issue with my onboard one, but then it turned out it was the router. | 20:33 |
| mustmodify | I'll uninstall it if that removes confusion. | 20:33 |
| compdoc | ok, what files do you see in /etc/netpla | 20:33 |
| compdoc | n | 20:33 |
| mustmodify | I don't have /etc/netplan | 20:34 |
| compdoc | this is 18.04? | 20:35 |
| mustmodify | yes. | 20:35 |
| mustmodify | I updated from 16 if that matters. | 20:35 |
| mustmodify | It was not a great experience. | 20:35 |
| compdoc | so then you use /etc/network/interfaces | 20:35 |
| compdoc | can you post that file on pastebin? | 20:36 |
| mustmodify | ok, I have stuff in that file. | 20:36 |
| mustmodify | yep. | 20:36 |

| mustmodify | https://gist.github.com/mustmodify/ffa9b4b4119e9d871d84f1673d9f1808 | 20:38 |
| compdoc | that looks correct for those nics, although dhcp can assign the nameservers | 20:40 |
| compdoc | you sure your dhcp service is working? | 20:41 |
| mustmodify | It is not working. | 20:41 |
| mustmodify | that's the problem. | 20:41 |
| mustmodify | Oh | 20:41 |
| mustmodify | upstream | 20:41 |
| mustmodify | yes. | 20:41 |
| compdoc | on your router, or whatever | 20:41 |
| mustmodify | I'm on a PC plugged into the same router. | 20:41 |
| mustmodify | when I `ping 1.1.1.1` I get "Network is unreachable" | 20:42 |
| mustmodify | so it's not just DHCP. | 20:42 |
| mustmodify | I uninstalled other networking stuff, apparently. | 20:42 |
| compdoc | how about setting the ip address manually? you just need to use the same settings as your working pc, except a different ip | 20:42 |
| compdoc | yes, theres no addresss | 20:43 |
| compdoc | shows in you pic | 20:43 |
| mustmodify | Right. | 20:43 |
| compdoc | whats the ip of your current machine? | 20:43 |
| mustmodify | That machine was at .18 | 20:43 |
| mustmodify | 192.168.254.18 | 20:43 |

| OerHeks | lunatikos, why would one fix a filesystem standard on boot? | 21:15 |
| lunatikos | cause i tried chkdsk on windows and there no errors, but hdd refuses to mount on linux, except if i do ntfsfix command. | 21:16 |

| compdoc | jsut read the SMART | 21:17 |
| lunatikos | i have projects on windows hdd i would like to have access on both windows / linux... (i have no dual boot, i do boot in bios) | 21:17 |
| lunatikos | smart is to control hdd health no ? | 21:17 |
| JimBuntu | lunatikos, did you put the command above the exit command ? | 21:18 |
| lunatikos | above = up ? | 21:18 |
| compdoc | not control it. its used to read info about the drive, like if its dying | 21:18 |
| JimBuntu | yes, earlier in the file | 21:18 |
| lunatikos | no | 21:18 |
| JimBuntu | lunatikos, then that is why. Your added commands need to come before the exit command | 21:18 |
| compdoc | you using ubuntu now? | 21:18 |
| jjbuggle | is there a way to convert a pdf to jpg? | 21:19 |
| lunatikos | i do "exit = 0" (enter) then "ntfsfix ...." ? | 21:19 |
| JimBuntu | lunatikos, other way around please | 21:19 |
| lunatikos | ? | 21:19 |
| lunatikos | i have ubuntu | 21:19 |
| compdoc | open the disks utility | 21:19 |
| lunatikos | plz help me, it has been 3 days with no success :( | 21:19 |
| JimBuntu | lunatikos, it should be your command ( enter ) then exit 0 | 21:19 |
| JimBuntu | don't type in the 'then' sorry | 21:20 |
| lunatikos | added "exit=0" to rc.local | 21:20 |
| JimBuntu | Once it's working well enough, someone can help you with WHY you are having this issue. I'm betting Windows isn't actually being powered off and is actually doing that fastboot thing, which leaves NTFS drives in a 'dirty' state | 21:21 |
| lunatikos | compdoc, now in disk util i do what ? | 21:21 |
| lunatikos | ah ! exit 0 | 21:21 |
| OerHeks | https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-fsck@.service.html and enable it: uuid=.... 0 0 to 0 1 | 21:22 |
| compdoc | select the drive in the list, and in the upper right of the window, there's 3 short bars. click that and select SMART DATA etc | 21:22 |
| lunatikos | i have no smart data | 21:23 |
| compdoc | external? | 21:23 |
| lunatikos | no, sata | 21:23 |
| compdoc | you might need to enable smart in the bios then | 21:23 |
| compdoc | sorry | 21:23 |
| compdoc | thats a shame | 21:24 |
| lunatikos | i think its on, i reboot fast... | 21:24 |
| compdoc | ok | 21:24 |
| lunatikos | bk | 21:28 |
| compdoc | was it off? | 21:28 |
| lunatikos | rc.local wont work. smart was activated, but sata hot plug was disabled so i enabled it for all.. | 21:29 |

| lunatikos | if i click active it wont boot, saying acpi error | 21:30 |
| compdoc | I dont think thats right. its the gnome-disk-util | 21:31 |
| compdoc | that looks different | 21:31 |

| lunatikos | how do i download it "disk-utility" ? | 21:32 |
| lunatikos | no | 21:33 |
| compdoc | sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility | 21:33 |
| lunatikos | thx | 21:33 |
| lunatikos | https://i.imgur.com/oaTAMVm.jpg | 21:35 |
| compdoc | yes, now click the little gear icon upper right | 21:36 |
| lunatikos | ok then ? | 21:36 |
| compdoc | select smart. show a pic of that | 21:36 |
| compdoc | is that the boot drive? | 21:36 |
| lunatikos | https://i.imgur.com/mkL4l2n.png | 21:37 |
| compdoc | that drive is perfect. | 21:38 |
| compdoc | no problems | 21:38 |
| lunatikos | not the boot drive, its astorage | 21:38 |
| compdoc | check all your drives | 21:38 |
| compdoc | reallocated sectors value should = 0 | 21:39 |
| lunatikos | all ok | 21:39 |
| compdoc | smae with pending sectors | 21:39 |
| compdoc | good. hard drives and ssd can begin to fail and show reallocated sectors. you have to replace the drive then | 21:40 |
| lunatikos | all ok 0 | 21:40 |
| lunatikos | ? | 21:40 |
| lunatikos | replace ? | 21:40 |
| compdoc | if they have more than zero reallocated sectors, then the drive is dying | 21:40 |
| lunatikos | they all 0 | 21:41 |
| compdoc | perfect | 21:41 |
| lunatikos | :) | 21:41 |
| compdoc | i replace a lot of failing drives for my customers | 21:41 |
| compdoc | they go bad a lot | 21:41 |
| lunatikos | so why it doesnt mount ? | 21:42 |
| compdoc | its ntfs | 21:43 |
| lunatikos | so ? | 21:43 |
| compdoc | in the disks program, slect the drive, then select the large partition in the image, and click the start button | 21:43 |
| lunatikos | then ? | 21:43 |
| lunatikos | (play button right ?) | 21:44 |
| compdoc | does it show mounted? | 21:44 |
| compdoc | yes, play button | 21:44 |
| lunatikos | no | 21:44 |
| lunatikos | it refuses to mount | 21:44 |
| lunatikos | it does nothing | 21:44 |
| lunatikos | status is not mounted | 21:45 |
| compdoc | how abuot the 2nd partition? | 21:45 |
| compdoc | i cant tell how large those are | 21:45 |
| lunatikos | all stay not mounted | 21:45 |
| lunatikos | 1 go | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | *1 To * | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | 2 to | 21:46 |
| compdoc | how many partitins does it have? just 2? | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | ssd 500 go | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | 4 to | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | 1 on each disks | 21:46 |
| OerHeks | has it ever mounted, and were you able to read AND write? | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | on ubuntu 16 or 14 yes | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | not in 18 | 21:46 |
| OerHeks | i think you need exfat utils | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | but never | 21:46 |
| lunatikos | exFAT allow more than 4 Gb files ? | 21:47 |
| OerHeks | sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils | 21:47 |
| lunatikos | done | 21:47 |
| OerHeks | restart nautilus \ | 21:48 |
| lunatikos | nautilus is terminal ? | 21:48 |
| compdoc | file | 21:49 |
| lunatikos | file ? | 21:49 |
| lunatikos | i reboot ? | 21:49 |
| compdoc | used to browse files | 21:49 |
| OerHeks | filemanager | 21:49 |
| lunatikos | then | 21:49 |
| lunatikos | exFAT format allows + 4 Gb files ? | 21:50 |
| lunatikos | (movies x264 etc...) | 21:50 |
| OerHeks | yes, it is their next generation filesystem. | 21:51 |
| lunatikos | ok | 21:51 |
| QwertyChouskie | Halp! https://i.imgur.com/QWQsuKX.png GTK2 theming broke | 21:51 |
| lunatikos | i do what with file browser now ? | 21:51 |
| QwertyChouskie | And I have a bunch of stuff up so I don't want to reboot | 21:51 |
| OerHeks | but your screenpost says so, so i guess you had to install these before in 14.04 and 16.04 | 21:51 |
| OerHeks | now mount that sdb again, in your filemanager, or manually | 21:52 |
| lunatikos | i must reformat the NTFS data in exFAT, and recopy folders in exFAT ? | 21:52 |
| compdoc | no | 21:52 |
| compdoc | should just work with the magic of linux | 21:53 |
| lunatikos | it refuses to mount in file browser | 21:53 |
| compdoc | if not, try to reboot and see if Disks program can mount it | 21:53 |
| lunatikos | ok i reboot | 21:53 |
| OerHeks | good, then that ntfs is corrupted, but not by windows... now think. | 21:54 |
| lunatikos | no it wont mount | 21:56 |
| lunatikos | in chronology there is fat < ntfs < exFAT ? | 21:56 |
| lunatikos | fat32* | 21:56 |
| lunatikos | in chronology there is fat32 < ntfs < exFAT ? | 21:57 |
| compdoc | lunatikos, I dont mount ntfs disks in nix very often, but i just google how to with the version of ubuntu | 21:57 |
| lunatikos | i not found | 21:57 |
| lunatikos | the better is i format in exFAT then i re-copy all files in no ? | 21:57 |
| compdoc | I would think you need to load ntfs utils rather than exfat | 21:58 |
| lunatikos | i got ntfsfix | 21:58 |
| lunatikos | if i type "sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1" it mounts | 21:58 |
| compdoc | exFAT is a file system that was created to be used on flash drives like USB memory sticks and SD cards. | 21:58 |
| catbeard | anyone have a command to return the apt package name given a full path to a file? | 21:59 |
| lunatikos | if ntfs filesystem is the pb i can reformat in exFAT then copy back files... | 21:59 |
| lunatikos | if exFAT is compatible by both win10 & ubuntu | 22:00 |
| OerHeks | lunatikos, no, your ntfs drivers should be fine, there might be something else what corrupts your partition, like malware | 22:00 |
| OerHeks | in windows | 22:00 |
| lunatikos | how i can do ? | 22:01 |
| lunatikos | i launched eset, malwarebytes and rogue killer.. | 22:01 |
| lunatikos | all clean | 22:01 |
| Bashing-om | catbeard: ' dpkg -S <full_path> ' do ya ? | 22:01 |
| lunatikos | i have a kaspersky bootable disk | 22:01 |
| lunatikos | the better is i format no ? | 22:02 |
| lunatikos | in exfat | 22:02 |
| OerHeks | if there is no data on it, you can | 22:03 |
| OerHeks | but that is not a fix | 22:03 |
| lunatikos | there iare datas, i can copy back on later.. | 22:03 |
| lunatikos | are* | 22:04 |
| lunatikos | ok i gonna format in exFAT | 22:04 |
| lunatikos | i added you to contact OerHeks and compdoc | 22:05 |
| lunatikos | ... too much time i passed trying to fix the pb, the job, my projects awaits. | 22:05 |
| lunatikos | u agree with EXFAT format ? | 22:06 |
| compdoc | me? I dont use it, so cant say | 22:07 |
| lunatikos | i use kaspersky rescue disk to try to heal the partition 1st ? | 22:08 |
| lunatikos | ext4 is not compatible with windows 10 ? | 22:08 |
| compdoc | thats an AV, dont think it can repair. open the drives in windows. or boot the Ubuntu dvd live and try | 22:08 |
| VitoG | hi compdoc | 22:09 |
| compdoc | I heard something about win10 and linux file systems recently | 22:09 |
| lunatikos | what filesystem i should use to work both in win10 and linux ubuntu ? | 22:09 |
| compdoc | but usally not. ext4 for nix, and ntfs for windows | 22:09 |
| compdoc | and zfs for really large | 22:10 |
| lunatikos | exFAT is ok for both ? + files + 4 Gb ? | 22:10 |
