[00:07] Hello === M144_ is now known as m144 === m144 is now known as M144 [00:19] Anyone awake who has an Ubuntuforums account? [00:22] MilkmanDan: I am a UF moderator [00:26] Im locked out of my bios and am trying to turn on intel virtualization. I was wondering if there is a way to do this at the OS level? I have root. [00:27] hello, I am trying to install ubuntu on a android phone. Is this the right channel to ask the questions? [00:28] !phone | flembcke [00:28] flembcke: Information about the mobile port of the Ubuntu platform (formely Ubuntu Touch) for Phone and Tablet is available here: https://ubports.com/. Support and discussion in #ubports [00:28] !touch | flembcke [00:28] thank you. === webnetvn_ is now known as webnetvn [00:29] rawfodog: I never heard of such, and think it's unlikely. [00:30] rawfodog: i.e. pull bios battery (or whatever it takes) if you forgot the password. [00:30] rawfodog, nope, virtualization support is a BIOS(type) thing [00:30] that might work, battery out, turn on, turn off, batery in [00:31] some bios versions still have password set, but then you need to do something technically to reset, and might loose your hdd access [00:32] jeremyb: Fantastic. :) [00:32] ill try to remove the battery [00:32] thanks [00:32] If you're logged in, could you msg me the script here? https://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?s=5cd0c6e04a427e2a8088d19666a0c3e3&attachmentid=186077&d=1300154313 [00:33] I don't want to create an account I'll never use just for the 600 byte script that the poster decided not to put in his message. :) [00:35] does anyone know how to change the background theme of terminal with oh-my-bash? https://github.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash [00:37] royal_screwup21: Usually foreground/background colors are set by the terminal, not the shell. Usually the shell sets colors for things like the prompt. [00:37] royal_screwup21, that info is on that page [00:47] this might be a stupid question but...I think installing this pugin just erased my evironement variables :( I remember I had access_token in my ~/.bashrc and now it's nowhere to be found; my .bashrc is replaced with stuff from oh-my-bash [00:48] Sounds like bad behavior on the part of oh-my-bash. Do you have backups? === fritzl_ is now known as fritzl [00:49] oh f**k :( [00:49] I had my gopath, access tokens, other stuff all set in there :( [00:49] BTW, that's not a stupid question. It's a very wisdom-providing question. Almost nobody appreciates the value of backups until they feel the pain of loss. If you learn to appreciate with only the loss of some .bashrc settings you're lucky. Some people lose much more... [00:50] and I don't have a backup :( [00:52] If you have a github account you may want to post a miserable report in their bug tracker as a warning to others and a suggestion that they radically improve their installation procedure. [00:53] They ought to be able to manage something far safer, like echo ". ~/.oh_my_bash.sh" >> ~/.bashrc instead of overwriting the user's file. [01:00] royal_screwup21, point 2 under manual installation, what does that say? [01:01] pauljw: I did basic installation [01:02] you should still read all information prior to install. === RtMF|afk is now known as RtMF === RtMF is now known as Guest40227 === Guest40227 is now known as RtMF === RtMF is now known as QuinnStorm === QuinnStorm is now known as RtMF === RtMF is now known as QuinnStorm === QuinnStorm is now known as RtMF|afk === Johnny_ is now known as Johnny === davidp is now known as davidgp [02:43] Hi. I have both Windows 10 and Ubuntu installed on two different disks. I would like to try to create a kvm virtual machine with the existing Windows 10 install. I would like the VM to be able to take control over the whole disk that Windows 10 is installed on. When adding the disk with virt-manager, I *think* I need to select "Select or create custom storage", and I *think* I need to enter the block device here, but I'm not sure wh [02:43] at it would be. Windows 10 is installed on the only NVMe disk, I don't know if I'm supposed to enter /dev/nvme0 or /dev/nvme0n1. Anyone know? [02:45] davidgp, does gparted show two partitions? probably nvme0n1 [02:45] Ahh, never thought to look at gparted. Just a sec. [02:47] gparted, cfisk [02:47] gparted shows four partitions on /dev/nvme0n1, it doesn't show any other /dev/nvme0* device. I think I need to enter /dev/nvme0n1. [02:47] if you ever used fdisk on DOS you're gonna like cfdisk [02:49] I was confused, because with other disks, I see /dev/sda, and the partitions are /dev/sda1, etc. It was the fact that I see /dev/nvme0, /dev/nvme0n1, and then the partitions are /dev/nvme0n1p1, etc is what confused me. I didn't know what /dev/nvme0 was. [02:51] compdoc: Thanks. [02:58] davidgp, https://askubuntu.com/a/663518 [02:59] and yes the disk, not a partition [03:00] fassl, the confusion want how to specify the block device, it was if I was supposed to enter /dev/nvme0 or /dev/nvme0n1. [03:00] use lsblk to find out the name of the disk [03:02] Thanks, I didn't know about lsblk. [03:03] and as said in the link, you cannot do that with virt-manager [03:04] also davidgp you probably want to install the virtio drivers to the disk first, booted into windows [03:04] I was able to add the disk with virt-manager. I double checked the xml, and it's similar to the xml described in that link. [03:04] oh really? didn't know about that, maybe its a new feature [03:05] Yes, I know about virtio drivers, but thanks for reminding me :-) [03:05] but, how similar is it? [03:05] ah ok ;) [03:05] https://pastebin.com/W26Ty038 [03:05] That's what virt-manager created. [03:06] cool, should be fine [03:07] When adding the disk in virt-manager, I selected "Select or create custom storage", I entered the block device in the text box, and I selected VirtIO as the bus type. [03:09] But, now I'm going to bed. Have a good night everyone, and thank for the help, and the information fassl. [03:22] What is an Ubuntu? [03:22] How do you make Ubuntu persistant? [03:22] What??

[04:25] It gets stuck on the line "Begin: Regenerating SSL certificate " [04:33] Guest5: are you sure this is ubuntu, and ubuntu 16.04.5? i can only find very few mentions of this log line at all. [04:33] yup. [04:34] so not linux mint or something, right? [04:34] which iso did you download there? [04:34] Right. This is ubuntu [04:35] ok, have you checked the iso is downloaded complete and matches the checksum? [04:36] ubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-i386.iso [04:36] no, i should do that [04:36] !md5 [04:36] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:37] thanks.

[04:52] WIndows 10. Virtual box 6.0 [04:54] Guest5: can you try with the virus scanner paused? [04:56] sure [05:02] same thing. It still gets stuck on that same line. [05:02] Maybe I'll give mint a try [05:02] i'm just trying the same, though on a linux host. and it seems i ran into a kernel oops there [05:03] or rather a freezing system [05:03] oh wow === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [05:04] Guest5: do you have a 64-bit windows there? [05:04] Its a shame I cant run the latest version of ubuntu since its only 64 bit. [05:04] Yes 64 bit [05:04] then why can't you run a 64-bit guest? [05:04] My cpu wont support gust 64 bit [05:05] this suggests you don't have vt-d enabled in bios, i think [05:05] with a 64-bit host, you definitely should be able to run a 64.-bit guest, too [05:06] oh I did not know that. I should look in to that [05:06] thanks.

[06:23] what is a quick way to tell if I am on debian or ubuntu so I can put a hacky thing in here to use bash instead of /bin/sh? [06:24] I did some googling and it seems NTFS should be supported on server 16+. I recently did an install of 18.04 lts server and added an NTFS formatted drive to the system. I'm attempting to setup a samba network share on the drive but when I attempt to mod the permissions I received a message saying "chmod: changing permissions of '/media/username/drivename': Read-only file system" [06:24] Did I miss somethign where I needed to install a package to support NTFS? [06:25] or better yet a way to check if /bin/sh is dash [06:25] Uleepera: join #ubuntu-server please [06:25] lotus - Thank you. Will do [06:26] I tried -V -v --version, none do what you might think [06:28] whoareU: try links2 [06:28] quesker, try `echo $SHELL` (BASH is the default shell for Ubuntu, dash is better for scripts, not interactive users) [06:29] shmam: you would get better luck, when expanding more details to the channel like: ubuntu version, kernel version,flavor,system up to date? [06:30] I just found something in journalctl: "Auth: sddm-helper crashed (exit code 15)" [06:30] that's wild. I made a #!/bin/sh with echo $SHELL > /tmp/shell and it says /bin/bash haha [06:30] but /bin/sh is not bash [06:31] quesker, i missed one of your questions, this is a Ubuntu Support room, debian isn't on topic here [06:31] your shell is broken [06:31] Ubuntu 18.04, 4.18.0-3-generic. KDE Plasma 5.12.7, KDE Frameworks 5.44.0, Qt 5.9.5 [06:31] on ubuntu [06:32] how can I tell if /bin/sh is dash [06:32] on ubuntu [06:32] since -v -V and --version don't work [06:32] and your suggestion didn't work either. try it [06:32] quesker, the default shell for a user is found in /etc/passwd (in the shell field) [06:32] I don't care anything about user default shells [06:33] shmam: did you try a systemd sddm restart yet? [06:33] I am asking about /bin/sh [06:33] scripts break on ubuntu [06:33] !enter | quesker [06:33] quesker: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. [06:33] lotuspsychje: I have it working right now. It just crashes at boot. To fix it, I've been using ALT+F2 and then `startx` to restart it [06:33] scripts that run on solaris, hpux, aix, redhat, suse [06:34] I asked on one line, nobody seems to know, so I tried to slow it down [06:34] sddm is running fine right now, it's just sddm-greeter thats broken [06:34] quesker: if nobody knows try !patience, idle until someone does know [06:34] quesker I'd firstly suggest specifying a specific shell (not SH which can vary upon OS) [06:34] heh [06:35] shmam: did you do anything special lately? [06:35] lotuspsychje: No. I've had this problem for a while and just been too busy to fix it [06:35] hobbyist os [06:36] hey folks. I'm wondering if anybody knows if netfilter-persistent supports ebtables. It's not really clear from documentation or exploring filesystem if this feature is included, or if so, how it's implemented [06:36] shmam: your graphics drivers installed correctly? [06:37] I have intel integrated so I didn't need to install any graphics drivers, it just worked out of the box [06:38] shmam: allright, have you tryed a !nomodeset to bypass greeter? [06:39] nomodeset? [06:39] !nomodeset | shmam [06:39] shmam: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [06:40] quesker, `stat /bin/sh` reports "File: /bin/sh -> dash .." - but your messages are hard to follow (15 were from you on screen to 11 from everyone else inc. bot - please try & reduce your enter's & don't flood channel) [06:40] shmam: maybe try to create a second user, perhaps user1 desktop is scrambled? [06:43] ok I'm going to give the kernel param a try brb [06:47] ok if file /bin/sh | grep -q dash; then SH=/bin/bash; fi thanks [06:49] luckily this script calls other ones so I can do that [06:50] how to find some file in browse using command line [06:52] I tried nomodeset kernel param which didn't seem to work [06:54] whoareU, i don't understand your question, but `find / -name ..` (if want to find according to filename etc starting in /) [06:56] whoareU, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/find [06:57] guiverc: when i use wget or aria2c to download something , i need open up the browser to find that file , then copy it to command line, [06:58] i hope to directly find something in commandline more than [06:59] whoareU, i regularly copy a url & wget it from cli; but I use clipboard, and don't understand how you want to do it sorry [07:01] guiverc: ok, maybe i ought to study english well first [07:02] whoareU, my apologies for not understanding too [07:03] Is there somewhere IRC channel for that graphics PPA [07:03] ? [07:03] whoareU: volunteers are trying to help you here, please tone down [07:03] Furai: i dont think so [07:04] Furai: best way to contact is the group on launchpad, or their email listing [07:04] thanks [07:05] I found the maintainer here on this network and PMed them but got no response. I guess they get tons of questions and just ignored me. All good. [07:05] Furai: if you find a problem or bug, please file one [07:06] Furai, a lot of people try PMing without offers, being ignored is common (it's better to ask for permission first in my opinion) [07:08] And in my opinion being a community manager I keep getting tons of PM and the worse are the meta questions. [07:08] Asking to ask. [07:09] guiverc: i need using commandline tool to find a link of file in browser, [07:09] If you have already PMed me and I read it what's the point of waiting another few hours just to get your response? Ask straight away and I'll answer when I see it. [07:10] Anyway, that's heavily off-topic. Thanks guys for help and see you around. :) [07:12] whoareU, i now understand what you want; I've used url-checker scripts (that find & check urls are all valid) but I don't know a command that just echos them (I'd probably just fork a checkurl script if I wanted what you do) [07:22] guiverc: whether url-checker is a on-line web service , i only find it http://urlchecker.org/ [07:28] sorry whoareU, I've used url-checker scripts (perl) in projects, I looked and didn't find the example I was looking for (ubuntu UWN has one as I recall sorry) - i've seen a number over the years... [07:33] guiverc_d: I think they are rather looking for a CLI web browser like Lynx. >_> [07:34] as i understood it krytarik, they used a text browser and wanted to extract url's from saved file, but maybe I was wrong...

[08:30] pragomer: right click on folder/archive gives me the choice of rar, 7z,zip [08:35] yes, but not the possibility to create a password protected 7z archive [08:36] but, if you open archive manager, drop a file in there, choose to create a 7z archive, you CAN set a passsphrase [08:38] pragomer, I had a go [nautilus], and didn't get the option to password protect (but I don't use the option so it could be me mis-using it) but the option looks easier in thunar (xfce file manager) [08:38] thunar is GTK+ based; depending on your release of Ubuntu, it could be GTK+2 or GTK+3 (unlike or like gnome) [08:39] I know that thunar can do this. Just was searching for a solution for gnomes default file manager [08:39] its not big deal, I am sure I could (somehow) create a nautilus action myself.., but it would be nice to have this feature by default === digiberk_ is now known as digiberk [09:05] after a recent apt-get upgrade, i can only log in using wayland, if i log in with x i get a black screen. it was suggested to add the nomodeset option to the kernel, but then i get a black screen before even seeing gdm. graphics card is intel uhd 620, ubuntu is 18.10 [09:30] Hi, I was listening to some great playlist last evening on my bluetooth earphones.

[12:17] find /home/foobar/tmp -type f -mtime +30 -iname "*.wav" -o -iname "*.gsm" -exec rm {} \; [12:21] Guesti1931: yeah -o is good [12:26] I ended up with this and it seems to work, can anyone see any possible issues? find /home/foobar/tmp -type f -iname "*.gsm" -o -iname "*.wav" -type f -mtime +31 -exec rm {} \; [12:32] that'll only remove .wav files, not gsm [12:33] find /home/foobar/tmp -type f $ -iname "*.gsm" -o -iname "*.wav $ -mtime +31 -exec rm {} + [12:34] Hm, I see [12:36] http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind is a good read [12:48] hay [12:50] <__aaa__> hi [12:51] <__aaa__> where is snap config file [13:04] hi [13:04] On ubuntu 18.10 - how do i make switcher show windows instead of apps? [13:06] dconf editor wm keybindings? [13:09] neure: Can you explain in some detail what you are seeing and what you want to change please? === gms is now known as Guest66339 [13:11] pragmaticenigma, alt-tab switches apps, and only shows one item per Terminal for example [13:11] I want it to show one item per window [13:11] I managed to fix that [13:11] neure: Super + Tab keyboard shortcut does window switching [13:11] yeah well i want to do that with alt-alt [13:11] alt-tab sorry [13:12] now how do i get rid of the delay before switch menu shows up? [13:12] yes i know the delay is there for reason but i know there is a away to get rid of it [13:12] just cant remember how it was done [13:12] neure: Have you installed the gnome tweaking app? [13:13] yes, i have [13:13] I think the setting is available in there [13:14] pragmaticenigma, nopes, nothing in gnome tweaks [13:16] neure: Maybe this is what you are looking for: https://askubuntu.com/a/43876 [13:17] I dont *think* I'm using compiz [13:18] neure: If you haven't installed any other window compistor, you are using compiz by default [13:18] okay then I am [13:18] join #WF3 [13:19] but why does sudo apt install compizconfig-settings-manager install compiz-core? [13:19] I would expect I already have such package if i was already using compiz... [13:22] neure: I think Ubuntu installs a minimal install of compiz with gnome desktop. Installing the settings tweaker needs the remainder.. I'm not sure why [13:22] so I need settings, gnome-tweaks, dconf-editor, compiz settings.. [13:23] hard to remember which is used for each setting [13:23] neure: I'm at the outter limits of what I know on the topic... web searching might get you closer to the answers you seek [13:24] Hi, I have connected my earphones via bluetooth. The bluetooth manager shows that my earphone is connected, so does the blinking lights on my earphones. The earphone was correctly recognised in ubuntu as "headset". But in the sound settings, I don't see this as an output option. what could be going wrong ? === paolo_ is now known as faLUCE [13:36] why is dhcpcd not installed? [13:36] how can i renew my ip address without that? stop removing important utilities [13:37] CoolerZ: dhcpd is for activing as a dhcp server, clients don't need dhcpd [13:37] *acting [13:38] Meili, read, I said dhcpcd [13:38] dhcp client daemon [13:38] CoolerZ: right, my bad, but you're sure you do not have dhclient installed? [13:39] well if i type in dhcpcd it tells me to install something else [13:39] $ dhcpcd [13:39] Command 'dhcpcd' not found, but can be installed with: [13:39] sudo apt install dhcpcd5 [13:39] CoolerZ: can you do "which dhclient" [13:40] what is dhcpcd5? is it a trojan rootkit someone uploaded for fun and profit? [13:40] $ which dhclient [13:40] /sbin/dhclient [13:40] CoolerZ: Thats your dhcp client, part of isc-dhcp-client [13:43] Meili, ok so now what? [13:43] how to renew my ip address? [13:43] CoolerZ: dhclient [13:43] CoolerZ: that is the replacement for dhcpcd. [13:43] CoolerZ: Read the documenation: "man dhclient" will tell you how to renew your IP address [13:48] CoolerZ: actually, I can't seem to find any ubuntu release that ever used dhcpcd over dhclient by default. Not sure what you're referring to about Ubuntu "removing utilities" [13:50] I forgot to run telnet in ssh? Do i just need to - telnet host/name port to it? === Euph0ria is now known as EuphOria [13:55] leftyfb, well thats still doesn't help [13:55] how do i download a man page for a specific command? [13:57] EriC^^, https://ibb.co/NWsxXpz go deleted it and install with update but now this [13:59] Which utility for Ubuntu is the best for making a bootable USB from a LiveCD ISO? I've tried "Startup Disk Creator" but it isn't working for me. [14:03] EuphOria: define not working? [14:06] i have installed john the ripper from snap and it apparently did not come with a man page, how can i install one? [14:11] juanonymous: telnet and ssh are 2 completely different things. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? [14:11] EuphOria: "Startup disk creator" writes the official iso's to use just fine [14:12] Ah, its ok now [14:12] juanonymous: I would highly recommend running any sort of telnet server on ubuntu [14:12] I just wanted to know if that is the command to telnet [14:12] sorry, recommend against* [14:13] Why? [14:13] Aw, ok [14:13] Gotcha [14:13] Thanks [14:13] juanonymous: because it's outdated and insecure. What is it exactly you're trying to accomplish with telnet? [14:14] juanonymous: where possible, you should be using an ssh server and client, not telnet. [14:16] I have a program that requires telnet to communicate [14:16] But its all good now [14:16] And since youre correct, then ill follow your advice [14:16] To be safe [14:20] I am trying to install lubuntu 18.10 on a laptop with usb drive. I have created the bootable usb using Startup-Disk-Creator of Ubuntu. When I boot the laptop with the usb, and go for Live Disk, it says "1.55 no irq handler for vector" and then doesn't go past the lubuntu splash screen. What I am doing wrong? [14:22] hi friends [14:22] I can't seem to find a way to delete partition from ubuntu server installer (not live) [14:22] is it possible to do so? [14:23] sazawal: You might need to try boot the live iso with "nomodeset" enabled [14:23] !nomodeset | sazawal [14:23] sazawal: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [14:24] pragmaticenigma, Great, let me see this. [14:32] i have installed a program from snap and it apparently did not come with a man page, how can i install one? [14:34] qwebirc97388: You can't, you can reach out to the snap maintainer and ask them why they didn't include documentation, or you can find the man pages online [14:35] pragmaticenigma: really? that's surprising, it doesnt seem like something too hard to implement [14:36] qwebirc97388: If it doesn't seem hard, why haven't you done a web search? Try this, follow the instructions for installing it to "local" to avoid conflicts: https://askubuntu.com/a/244810 [14:37] so I'm looking at oh-my-bash themes https://ohmybash.github.io/ does anybody know how to make the title bar of the terminal the way it is, with the three dots on left (like the terminal on macs)? [14:39] royal_screwup21: This channel focuses on supporting issues with applications and the Ubuntu OS. For customization you can try #ubuntu-offtopic... for help with themes contact the maker of the theme [14:45] royal_screwup21: what version of ubuntu? [14:46] FedoraUser: join #ubuntu-server for likeminded volunteers [14:46] leftyfb: 16.04 [14:46] royal_screwup21: then what you'll be doing is moving the max/min/close buttons for ALL applications. Not just your terminal. Is that what you want? [14:48] lotuspsychje, thanks, it was rather quiet there, so I figured to ask here as well :) [14:49] does anyone know why im getting a permission denied error when i try "rm -rf folder" the folder is owned by the user at the terminal as shown by 'whoami' and the octal for column 1 is 7 [14:50] DevilsDulcimer: can you pastebin the output of ls on the directory and it's parent along with "whoami" and you attempting to delete it? [14:50] sorry, ls -l [14:50] DevilsDulcimer: Check that nothing is using something in the folder, and that there isn't for instance a file browser that has it opened or you aren't cd'd into it on a terminal [14:51] genii: none of that would prevent it from being deleted [14:52] genii i think that was it [14:52] i tried to replicate it leftyfb but it went through this time [14:53] $ mkdir testing ; cd testing ; rm -rf ../testing ; pwd [14:54] the output of pwd is still "/home/leftyfb/testing" [14:57] Hiyas all [14:57] leftyfb that didnt replicate it [14:58] DevilsDulcimer: right, because being cd's into the directly you're deleting does not prevent it from being deleted. [14:58] cd'd* [15:01] leftyfb i think i figured out what it is lol [15:02] i downloaded pycharm to my desktop...i cd'd into it [15:02] ok? [15:03] then did a "sudo mv ../pycharm /opt/" then when i did a "cd .." it took me into the /opt folder, and i thought i was back in my desktop folder , so when i did "rm -rf pycharm" it gave me permission denied sinc i was now in /opt [15:03] umm hold on it didnt paste lol [15:04] DevilsDulcimer: right, if you had pastebin'd what I asked originally, we would have figured that out in the beginning [15:04]
