[00:00] tharkun, launchpad would give that info [00:00] tharkun: https://packages.ubuntu.com maybe [00:00] (but your question is pretty broad) [00:01] tomreyn: Because it is indeed broad. The list is long and no need to cumber everyone with a long list. [00:01] OerHeks, I can drag it down like that, but why does the scaling make the app top hide? Not happening on all the other systems - well, I guess I don't have x2 scaling on either [00:01] BTW the current LTS is 18.04? [00:02] tharkun: yes. [00:02] tomreyn: Thanks a lot. [00:02] puxavida, no idea. gnome-tweak-tool can do more, font scaling.. [00:03] tharkun: so you're looking for package versions, or for --version output of those daemons? [00:03] i'm using xubuntu (xfce) [00:03] thanks @tomreyn, smart testing now. it's happened with two different drives though so i'm pretty sure it's not the hardware [00:04] eater9: then maybe it's not the drives but other hardware, like the controller or memory. [00:04] tomreyn: I am looking for several "least" versions some apps need. I rather look for them before I install the distro. [00:04] eater9: so again, check your logs. [00:04] I use alt-left mouse-drag to move or right mouse to resize [00:05] tharkun: oh i see. well "rmadison" on any supported ubuntu version then or https://packages.ubuntu.com [00:07] tomreyn: hmmm, well, ahem ahem. cough no cough ubuntu cough installed cough here [00:07] @tomreyn: is there any particular logging you can recommend? there's nothing out of the ordinary in the syslog [00:07] SMART short test says no error [00:08] maybe just install the app in different distro docker containers [00:09] tharkun: I'm still not 100% sure what you're looking for, but would this help https://packages.ubuntu.com/ [00:10] eater9: you can review previous boots' logs by passing decreasing values (starting at -1, then -2) to journalctl -b [00:11] tgm4883: Yes it did help. I am half way through. If two more critical daemons are within parameters you got to get me stationed here for quite some timme. [00:11] eater9: you can limit the output to warinings and higher level using -p4 [00:11] !pastebinit | eater9 [00:11] eater9: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [00:11] ^ in case you'd like to share with us [00:13] Thanks, found that but there's nothing, the last log entry is from about 30 mins before the erroring started and it's innocuous [00:15] eater9: so it doesn't even say that the file system went read-only? which mount point was it? [00:15] eater9: oh you said root file system, sorry. well that's logical then. use dmesg instead [00:15] It's mounted at / [00:15] unless you have a separate /var ? [00:15] I do not [00:15] journalctl writes to disk. if the disk it writes to can't be written to, then there's no logging. [00:16] dmesg stores logs in ram, but only since the latest reboot [00:16] also it works like a FIFO [00:16] it's the kernel's ring buffer [00:17] So wait till next time and then look at dmesg before I reboot [00:17] correct [00:19] eater9: you could post your disks' smartctl -x if you want them reviewed, but then you already said (and i agree) it's not likely it's the disks if it affects multiple disks at the same time. [00:20] thanks! here's that http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4zVqhv5Kkb/ [00:22] hello [00:26] eater9: your drive is not in the your version of smartmontools' drive db. you may want to look for a newer drive db (look at update-smart-drivedb(8) for the drive db locations - unfortunately the update-smart-drivedb command itself was removed) [00:30] eater9: is this a new system in general? then also look for bios updates, mabye there are still some quirks with the controller firmware. [00:31] eater9: the s.m.a.r.t. data suggests there were 21 communication errors between controller and drive which led to a need to do a controller<->drive reset. [00:32] Yeah, brand new system, firmware is the latest though, here's an updated smart test: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jHZc2DYPgN/ [00:33] eater9: which ubuntu version are you actually running there? [00:34] xubuntu 18,04 [00:34] eater9: but not a standard kernel? [00:36] oh yes I installed 4.20.5 to try to fix a graphics issue but I'm not wedded to it [00:40] eater9: the new drive database offered no relevant new results. also, this drives' firmware is current. [00:40] eater9: so, yes, wait for it to happen again, look at dmesg [00:41] will do! I appreciate all the help [00:42] eater9: welcome. one more thing you could try is whether you can cause it to become unstable using "fstrim -v " against a less important file system. [00:42] some ssd models will respond badly to it, those times *should* be over, but you never know. [00:43] OK, i'll create a less important fs when I have a moment [00:44] eater9: also copy, delete, and copy again some files there, otherwise there's nothing to be done for fstrim [00:45] eater9: if this does nothing, remount the file with the 'discard' option and repeat the copy/delete/copy [00:48] All right [00:56] .. [00:57] .. [00:57] vx_: Do you have an Ubuntu support question you would like to ask? [00:58] ? [01:10] need some help with activating right click on keyboard mouse. [01:10] it works in some apps [01:10] not like default [01:10] ie I cant use in browser [01:11] like here in chat. i cant R Click copy etc [01:11] then paste [01:12] all of those options dont pop up [01:14] I'm trying to set one grub entry at 40_custom but it is not working. The idea is to set the `root` to another partition by `UUID`. My attempt is to use: `search.fs_uuid --set 2BAAFD1D167FAF03` but it fails with `erro: no such device: --set.` [01:15] Mystified: If it works in some apps and not in others, that would indicate it is a fault with that particular application. It could be that the application doesn't understand the key code or is out-right ignoring it. There is no way for you to fix it. You can file a bug report on the applications and hope that it gets addressed [01:15] If I remove the --set it echoes what should be the correct value: hd0,msdos3, but then I can't use it to effectively set the root [01:17] FurretUber: Have you tried asking in #grub? [01:18] Not yet, I'll ask there, thank you for suggesting [01:20] I have a feeling this time of day might be very quiet in all rooms. FurretUber , 13:00 to 21:00 UTC is a very active time in these channels === Taco is now known as upflime [01:23] Well, I asked this on five different places, hopefully someone will know. What complicates things further is that Ubuntu's grub has no output for commands === upflime is now known as Tavo === Tavo is now known as Taco [01:31] FurretUber: Hope you have some luck. I don't think Ubuntu does anything special with Grub, should be the same as other distros. But it could be configured to suspress some stuff [01:32] Simulate a right mouse click [01:32] You can right-click by holding down the left mouse button. This is useful if you find it difficult to move your fingers individually on one hand, or if your pointing device only has a single button. [01:32] from ubuntu help [01:32] unable to make this work [01:38] FurretUber: that uuid doesnt look like ext4 [01:39] FurretUber: nevermind [01:40] You were right. It is NTFS. I want to load ISOs from the NTFS partition. I'm using the exact same thing I used to load from FAT32 and that worked [01:41] So I could load the Ubuntu Mini ISO using UEFI [01:41] Mystified: hmm right i can't make it work either, just tried. the pointer doesn't change color either. maybe it requires logging off and on again, or it's just buggy. i run 18.04.2 [01:43] compdoc: still here? [01:49] there has several weird icon which i don't konow in my icon panel, how do i remove it [01:49] yell really loudly. [01:49] tomreyn: tried that but no luck.. no typical default r click mouse functions.. ive tried reinstalling 3 times [01:49] what's an icon panel [01:49] "GO AWAY ICONS" [01:49] to see if it made a difference [01:50] is that the taskbar or the menu [01:50] Mystified: then i'd say file a bug. [01:50] Mystified: or rather look for a bug report first, which also may have a workaround. and only file one if there's none, yet. [01:51] https://img.vim-cn.com/9d/675de7363312c2f644f3eeaad72255cc2b6e08.png [01:51] no, the paste is wrong [01:52] thanks [01:54] I managed to set the root but then it fails with "erro:INDX label not found". It seems to be a problem specific of the particular directory === xamithanx is now known as xamithan [01:56] Hi, I uninstalled Windows with OS-Uninstaller, and I can't seem to boot Ubuntu.

[02:02] ye, i don't know which file could be edit [02:03] look in those two locations I gave you, find the whatever.desktop file [02:03] It will have a line saying icon [02:04] why does smartmontools require postfix? how can I install it without it? [02:06] Woet: Because it can be configured to send e-mails to system admins that are monitoring disk drive health [02:07] pragmaticenigma: I know, and I'm not interested in that, I have my own monitoring tools for that [02:07] pragmaticenigma: I just need the smartctl CLI tool [02:07] Woet: it doesn't depends on it, it recommends it [02:07] indirectly via mailx | mailutils [02:07] tomreyn: it's not under "Suggested packages", it's actually under "The following additional packages will be installed" [02:08] tomreyn: not sure how to get smartctl without postfix then (besides compiling from source) [02:08] Woet: your system will be configured to install recommended packages by default, which is a dfeault configuration [02:08] apt-cache show smartmontools | grep -E '^(Depends|Recommends)' [02:08] ok, --no-install-recommends [02:08] thi is to show it's Recommended, not depended [02:09] sorry about that, just needed the right Google query [02:09] okay, would have told oyu this option next ;) [02:10] thank you! [02:10] yw [02:15] xamithan: there have so many file with suffix .desktop , no whatever.desktop exist, [02:15] whatever being the placeholder for the application name you want to edit [02:16] We have no idea which icon you are referring to [02:16] If i wanted to replace the firefox icon, it would be firefox.desktop [02:19] first , i don't know the icon 's name which i hope to remove , because it display weird name which is a bizarre shape [02:21] xamithan: https://img.vim-cn.com/55/4814dc49683dda2f192603a07a6a88df895313.png [02:21] Can anyone help me with reinstalling grub? trying to do it through terminal, boot-repair halts on me [02:23] well it looks like an application installed with nsis [02:23] is it something you installed? it'll probably by under .local/share/applications [02:24] only thing i can tell you is look for something funky with a unicode name, or one you don't recognize [02:24] whoareU, that looks like an nero icon ..

[08:57] i only tried to install it a few hours ago, its a new ubuntu installation i finished and upgraded yesterday eveening [08:57] so probably from the very beginning and i just didnt know coz i hadnt tried it [08:58] also chromium-browser gives me the same issue [09:05] might just be a temporary problem with the server [09:11] alright [09:11] i'll give it a few and try again later [09:12] you can also ask about that in #ubuntu-mirrors, i think [09:17] I'm asking here because of the lateness of the hour. I have this problem and I'm trying to follow the solution in my husband's Ubuntu 18.04 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1233921 but what it says is "I deleted all the content into the Thunderbird information folder" .. then you have to reconfigure all the mail accounts again? Is there some way to store that so I don't have to? What actually has to be deleted? [09:18] This seems like a drastic solution. Can we save it and move it back? [09:21] chull: what's the original issue? [09:22] hi [09:22] blackflow, he gets an error [09:23] !details [09:23] 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. [09:23] blackflow, i'm loading it here I'm using Thunderbird 52.9.1 to access several email accounts in Ubuntu 18.04. It has alwaws worked well, but in the last few days it fails. After opening Thunderbird it shows a message: "Failed to connect to server imap.gmail.com". It keeps trying to update the inbox (Outlook, Gmail, etc.) without success. [09:24] he's using Thunderbird not gmail or chrome on the web [09:24] it says he needs cookies - does Thunderbird even use cookies? [09:25] it doesn't. that "failed to connect", does it have a details view or something? it means that there's an account set up with GMail IMAP credentials and it's faililing to connect. [09:25] ok [09:25] *failing [09:25] how do i get details view blackflow? [09:26] chalcedony: I don't know, I don't use thunderbird. that's why I asked if there's a button or something with more details, in the popup telling you it has "failed to connect". [09:26] i can go look [09:29] chalcedony: this is an example of a thunderbird "failed to connect" popup. it explains why it may've failed: http://i26.tinypic.com/eslocm.jpg [09:30] chalcedony: iirc thunderbird should also know and explain when the password or username are incorrect. [09:30] blackflow, (me again, hubby had a stroke and can't communicate but reads mail) i'm trying to explain to him what we need. [09:30] chull: seen my last two posts above? [09:32] blackflow, looking at your example. The error got closed. [09:32] chull: if the error is persistent, you can trigger it with a simple click to get mail / refresh / resync, I don't remember how thunderbird calls it. First button under "File" in that screenie. [09:32] blackflow, that didn't load? [09:33] chull: sorry, what? [09:33] ah looking [09:34] ok blackflow the error is : You've reached this page because we have detected that cookies are disabled in your browser. The page you attempted to load cannot display properly if cookies are disabled. [09:34] Please enable cookies and retry the operation or go back in your browser. [09:35] chull: that's not related to IMAP. Are you trying to click a link in an email, so the thunderbird's internal browser reports that? === bhuddah_ is now known as bhuddah [09:37] do i need a DE running on a machine in order to properly tunnel X over ssh? [09:37] LaRose_Bleu, technically speaking, no. [09:37] blackflow it's not loading mail, hasn't for 2 days. [09:38] chull: I understand, but that cookie problem has nothing to do with IMAP or email problems per se. [09:38] alright [09:38] thanks JimBuntu [09:38] blackflow, it pops up when i hit 'get mail' [09:39] chull: now, I suppose it's possible there's some thunderbird extension there that's having problems but... that's out of the scope of what I can help with [09:39] LaRose_Bleu, You're Welcome. I hope that solved your issue. [09:39] "Get Messages" [09:39] chull: thunderbird does not use or need cookies to fetch mail. if you get that error, it's possible you have some extension there. [09:39] blackflow, we sure appreciate your trying to help. Thanks very much! === M_A_Y_A_T is now known as m_A_y_A_t [09:40] chull: you can try this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird [09:40] that would start the bird in safe mode, no extensions, so then you can see if and what is failing better. === RAX is now known as rax- [09:41] blackflow, ok thanks looking :) [09:44] not yet JimBuntu, i am installing a dependency an konversation requires, libqt5core.so.5, but apt aborts after i confirm install [09:45] yuk LaRose_Bleu , can you pastebin ( or such ) a log of this, I'm sure someone can help... if not now, then within the next few hours [09:46] blackflow, we restarted in safe mode, now it's asking for cookies for Yahoo mail.. sigh [09:48] chull: can you post a screenshot of this? you can upload to imgur.com, no login needed. [09:48] i'll try [09:49] JimBuntu: https://pastebin.com/raApFsQn [09:49] chull: you can use Gimp to blur out any.... sensitive info on that screenshot. [09:49] this has been an interesting week. we've gone through two monitors.. [09:49] i'll see what we can do [09:49] chull: please answer through one account only, I can't be expected to keep track of who's responding to what... [09:50] i did some googles JimBuntu and this link suggested i install qt5-default . https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36128645/error-on-execution-version-qt-5-not-found-required-by [09:50] dear Tux LaRose_Bleu , that seems bad. Someone will be able to help you though, hopefully rather soon. Give it a few minutes. [09:51] Sorry, I have never had an abort and don't remember seeing it before :( [09:54] blackflow, if i press 'print screen' isn't it supposed to open a box and ask me what to call it, or something? [09:55] chull: on KDE, if someone hasn't messed up the shortcuts, it should, yes. [09:57] thanks Meili, it didn't but maybe it's hidden. hubby is out of the room, maybe when he gets back he will know. it's been a long time since i did this on linux. [09:57] yeah it was weird, JimBuntu, ive never had one either and this session is giving me all sort of issues [09:57] i also cant install firefox coz the update server is unreachable [09:58] chull: that probably just saves in the clipboard, so you can "Paste as New" in Gimp, for example. [09:58] chull: not probably, but definitely, if it doesn't pop up to ask what to do. [09:58] blackflow, thanks i'll see if it has gimp when he's back where he can see this [09:59] LaRose_Bleu: does apt abort after you press "y" or does it abort immediately? [09:59] chull: ubuntu default install (not minimal) comes with Gimp preinstalled. if you don't have it, it's easy to install from command line `sudo apt install gimp`. Or use software center, but be careful whether it's showing a snap or regular package. [09:59] yes Meili https://pastebin.com/raApFsQn [10:00] chull: one note for gimp, you must Export, not Save As the image for upload. Save As saves exclusively in gimp format. Export can do JPEG, which you'll need for upload. [10:00] LaRose_Blue: I only see that "Y" with last aptitude command [10:00] which seems to install someting [10:00] lemme retry then pastebin for you hold on === Mr_Pan is now known as Guest77954 === Guest77954 is now known as Mr_Pan [10:02] i managed to install it Meili using aptitude, but imma uninstall and reinstall using apt to show you the error [10:02] if its still there [10:03] blackflow sudo apt installing gimp [10:04] oh ok, Meili, installing it with aptitude earlier seems to have fixed the abort issue,w eird [10:04] it installs normally now [10:06] 1 [10:06] LaRose_Bleu: well, that's one less issue. Anyway, it could be a terminal issue. With the "y" you input not being the "y" apt expects. If it aborts immediately (without input) it's because apt couldnt open standard input. [10:07] chull: oh btw... I forgot, there should be a "Screenshot" utility/program which you can also use to save directly to a file, entire desktop, selected window, or a region of screen. might still need gimp if you wanna blur out sensitive parts. [10:07] Hello, I uninstalled windows with OS-uninstaller, and I think it got rid of my bootloader. I tried boot-repair it halts. I have UEFI. [10:07] anybody can guide me through installing a bootloader ? [10:07] Meili im ssh'ing into it using putty, putty should be fine right? [10:07] chull: "should be" = already installed with GNOME. You can search for "Screenshot" in the dash [10:09] LaRose_Blue: Usually it is. [10:11] verno: are you in the live usb right now? === crimastergogo_ is now known as crimastergogo [10:14] blackflow, what is it we are hoping to get with the screenshot? i don't seen an error worth posting, it's just Thunderbird and the Yahoo login screen? [10:14] EriC^^, yes [10:17] chull: well that. thunderbird is an IMAP/POP3 client. it asking for cookies is a mystery to me. [10:18] EriC^^: yes [10:19] chull: especially since google shows no results about using cookies for yahoo with thunderbird, and if you're in safe mode (no extensions running) then there's something else going on. I want to see what exactly is it you have there. [10:20] chull: actually there's one, for gmail... and using OAuth2 instead of regular Passwords. Is that the case there? Using OAuth? [10:21] blackflow, i don't know what he does. he doesn't seem to recognize that word [10:22] verno: type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:22] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/1pcz [10:22] chull: the screenshot would really help [10:23] chull: so please screenshot it. also, look at the last post here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1226331 and see if doing the same (adding exceptions for cookies) fixes your problem. It shouldn't, if you're using safe mode (no extensions!), but eh... doesn't hurt to try. [10:23] EriC^^, as far as I understand I have a seperate UEFI partition for booting, and that software wiped it [10:23] i'll try again on the screenshot. [10:24] EriC^^, my ubuntu partition however, has /boot folder too with bunch of grub stuff in it though [10:24] verno: type "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" [10:24] verno: then "ls -l /mnt | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:25] EriC^^, https://termbin.com/88e2 [10:27] verno: type "sudo blkid /dev/sda1 | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:28] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/zecs [10:28] Meili, blackflow ok i have a screenshot open in gimp. i don't rememeber and he doesn't know how to blur stuff or crop or well.. anything really? [10:29] verno: type "sudo umount /dev/sda1" [10:30] chull: hit the R key to select the.... selection tool :) then click and drag to mark the area you want to blur. then click in the menu Filters -> Blur -> Pixelize -> Ok Default 10px should suffice to mask out sensitive info, if not, raise the number [10:31] chull: Ctrl+Shift+A to deselect the selected area [10:31] EriC^^, any idea whatsup ? [10:31] chull: don't forget to Export As, instead of Save As [10:32] verno: getting there ;) [10:33] verno: type "sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sda1" [10:33] EriC^^, mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24) [10:34] verno: type "sudo blkid /dev/sda1 | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:35] EriC^^, https://termbin.com/xw32 , i thought linux needs ext3/ext4 [10:35] verno: type "cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999" === idwer_ is now known as idwer [10:36] verno: no, for the efi partition it's a BIOS related thing, it needs to be fat fs [10:36] EriC^^, https://termbin.com/hg7r [10:38] blackflow, i selected a rectangle but where anything else is, i'm lost? [10:38] verno: oh sorry, type "sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt" [10:38] verno: then "cat /mnt/etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:39] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/lgq0 [10:46] chull: menu at the top of the window [10:48] verno: type "sudo nano /mnt/etc/fstab" [10:49] verno: in the first line with /boot/efi in it, remove the # at the start, and make it UUID=5ECE-EB24 [10:50] EriC^^, https://termbin.com/gn4aa like this? [10:55] verno: yup, looks good [10:55] verno: ok, now to mount the various fs to chroot [10:55] verno: type "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done" [10:56] EriC^^, got it [10:57] verno: type "sudo chroot /mnt" [10:57] verno: then "mount -a" [10:58] question, if i have an nfs mount on my server, and i am writing directly to this network location, am i using the disk io of my server? or directly writing to the network? [10:59] EriC^^, ok [10:59] verno: type "ls /sys/firmware/efi" does it list any files? [10:59] EriC^^, yes, about 8 files [11:01] EriC^^, 9 files sry [11:03] verno: ok, good [11:03] which build is convenient to run on 1GB RAM and 2-4GB space? [11:03] verno: actually can you type "exit" in the chroot? [11:03] EriC^^, yea [11:04] pramis: server, no GUI [11:04] verno: type "sudo mount -B /run /mnt/run" [11:04] blackflow: anything that comes with a lightweight GUI? [11:04] pramis: and a debootstrap'ed one for minimal possible installation if that's really 2-4GB of disk space [11:04] 14.04? [11:04] verno: then "sudo chroot /mnt" again [11:04] pramis: or a lubuntu minimal [11:04] EriC^^, ok, am in [11:04] ok [11:04] pramis: 14.04 goes end of life soon [11:04] verno: type "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999" [11:05] pramis: the UI might be "lightweight" in itself, but any GUI app you start will likely consume quite some RAM. Eg, you can forget about browsing the net. [11:05] EriC^^, https://termbin.com/r9wk [11:06] pramis: that's a highly unusal constraint though. what hardware is that? [11:06] <_ramok> Hi, I'm running a Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS . I need to permanently change /etc/resolved.conf to list to 127.0.0.1 and not to 127.0.0.53 . Is there a way to achieve this? [11:06] _ramok: yes, by completely disabling systemd-resolved, and if you use NetworkManager, then set its config for dns=none. restart NM, unlink /etc/resolv.conf and write out your own. [11:07] blackflow https://imgur.com/a/OPzaEQj see if you can see that or if i need to do more? [11:07] verno: type "apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed+ [11:07] verno: type "apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed+" [11:07] _ramok: also keep your system up to date [11:07] _ramok: systemd-resolved will need to be "mask" -ed, not just "disable" -d [11:07] <_ramok> i'm having another service where systemd-resolved is running side by side with dnsmasq. and on this machine somehow /etc/resolved.conf is pointing to 127.0.0.1 [11:08] EriC^^, asks me "remove grub2 from /boot/grub ?" [11:08] my current system runs windows 10 32bit with 1GB RAM. seems to work fine but i am done with the regular windows update thing. want to try ubuntu [11:08] verno: say yes [11:08] EriC^^, grub purged. [11:09] _ramok: what's listening on 127.0.0.1:53 ? [11:09] verno: it should have installed grub-efi-amd64-signed, did it mention installing it? [11:09] chull: that's like the OAuth mentioned before. other than somehow enabling cookies for login.yahoo.com, I have no idea how to proceed. That's not a regular IMAP setup, and I wouldn't know where else to begin troubleshooting. [11:10] chull: *likely [11:10]
