| Talen | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 on raid 1 boot and I seem to be going in circles. I created 512m system uefi partition on both in the beginning, then free space for rest, setup raid 1 on both, set free space to ext4 and /, and go to "install ubuntu" next step and it keeps putting me into partitioner | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | murthy: i cannot predict how the maintainer or bug trager will handle your reports. | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | Talen: which installation method / installer are you using? | 00:54 |
| Talen | I downloaded the alternative installer | 00:55 |
| Talen | the default one wouldn't allow boot off raid 1 | 00:55 |
| tomreyn | alternative server installer, 18.04.2 amd64? | 00:55 |
| Talen | yes | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | Talen: when you say "I created 512m system uefi partition on both in the beginning", does this mean you created 512 MB sized partitions directly on the first and second system disk? which file system /usage and mount points did you assign? | 00:58 |
| tomreyn | if you put those efi system partitions on RAID-1, you're doing it wrong. | 00:59 |
| tomreyn | they need to be read-/writable by the firmware. | 00:59 |
| Talen | Yes, then selected "Use as" efi system (that's what the tutorial said) | 00:59 |
| tomreyn | the one and only tutorial? | 01:00 |
| Talen | I tried just setting them raid reserved as well and setup raid 1 | 01:00 |
| Talen | I tried like 6 | 01:00 |
| Talen | lol | 01:00 |
| Talen | they were all different | 01:00 |
| Talen | I've set 512MB as raid reserved then set it to /boot, and system partition uefi | 01:00 |
| tomreyn | ESP must be a partition on the first disk the firmware gets to see. | 01:00 |
| Talen | I chose first and beginning | 01:01 |
| Talen | Should I set them as raid reserved then setup raid 1 on it? There are a few tutorials and all do it differently | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | you can have another partition of the same size, and same file system type, on another disk, but you should only have a single ESP. and there can be no other software based disk structures, such as software RAID, encryption, LVM or similar below the ESP. | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | bug 1817066 discusses some of this | 01:04 |
| ubottu | bug 1817066 in subiquity "support ESP on raid" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1817066 | 01:04 |
| tomreyn | /boot can be on raid-1, that'S okay, just not the ESP | 01:05 |
| Talen | so 512m on each disk set to "raid member" then make it raid 1 and /boot? | 01:06 |
| Talen | then other partition raid 1 for /? | 01:06 |
| Talen | I believe I tried that and it kept taking me back to partitioner when trying to go past it | 01:07 |
| tomreyn | Talen: i think i explained before, but i can repeat and put it into context: You need an ESP for UEFI booting. It (does not have but) should be the first parition on the first system disk, which has to have a GPT partition table. There can be no other file system or block device structures in between, since the firmware will not understand these, but it has to find, and read from, and sometimes also write to, the ESP. | 01:13 |
| tomreyn | Talen: the ESP is a FAT32 file system, it should have a size somewhere between 250 MB (may not work with all firmwares) and 512 MB (most compatble). | 01:14 |
| Squarism | is there some other techique to switching apps than bring up app-switcher and cycle/navigate through the available apps? | 01:15 |
| tomreyn | Talen: whether or not you have a /boot partition seperate from the rest of the installation, and whether or not it's on a RAID-1, does not matter | 01:15 |
| Squarism | i mean could i assign hotkeys to certain window? Can i search for apps? Can I label windows and search for labels? | 01:15 |
| CodeMouse92 | Squarism: I always use Alt-Tab myself | 01:15 |
| CodeMouse92 | There are configurable keyboard shortcuts for workplace switching, too, so you can switch between entire sets of windows with a keypress | 01:16 |
| Talen | This is what I have right now https://i.imgur.com/rifPiYT.png but I can't go to install as it keeps sending me back to partition | 01:16 |
| CodeMouse92 | Squarism: If you're using Ubuntu 18.04 (or later), bring up the Keyboard settings. That will list all the existing shortcuts, and you can see and modify them there. | 01:17 |
| CodeMouse92 | Specifically scroll down the list of shortcuts to the "Windows" section at the end for all the window-switching shortcuts | 01:17 |
| Squarism | I found them. | 01:17 |
| CodeMouse92 | Cheers! | 01:17 |
| CodeMouse92 | Oops! Actually, the Navigation section is what you want. It's about halfway down. | 01:17 |
| CodeMouse92 | Fact is, I haven't used the activity view to switch between windows YET. :P | 01:18 |
| tomreyn | Talen: undo RAID1 device #0, change partition #1 on SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) to ESP. this will only work if you previously manually created a GPT partition table on this storage. | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | Talen: sorry, part of what i wrote is wrong, you don't have to use a GPT partition table, msdos will also work. | 01:24 |
| Talen | I wiped all the partitions in the ubuntu partitioner, not sure what it uses I assume GPT? | 01:25 |
| Talen | was doing all partitioning through the alternative installer | 01:25 |
| annihilator | how do i disable the touchscreen keyboard' | 01:26 |
| annihilator | ubuntu 18 | 01:26 |
| Talen | seems I'm better off just doing zfs mirror for boot since this is just as much as a hassle, I'll be using zfs for the other disks anyway | 01:27 |
| tomreyn | Talen: debian-installer (which you are using) defaults to MBR / "msdos" partition tables. IIRC there are situations where it will switch to GPT itself, but i don't recall what triggers it. probably it's either whether you booted in UEFI mode or whether the promary disk is larger than 2 TB. | 01:27 |
| Squarism | Would you agree linux desktop isnt innovating much? | 01:27 |
| tomreyn | !ot | Squarism | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Squarism: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:27 |
| Talen | I have 2 256G SSD and 15 4TB | 01:27 |
| Squarism | ops | 01:27 |
| Talen | i'm trying to raid 1 the ssd, and leave the 4tb for zfs | 01:27 |
| tomreyn | Talen: here's what i would do: reboot the installer you have there, bring up grub menu, select advanced installation. set up keyboard, switch to tty2, use parted (may need to install the locally available udeb) to create a GPT partition on both ssds. switch back to tty1, continue installation, do manaul partitioning. create 512 MB ESP/EFI partition on first ssd. create 512 MB FAT-32 partition on second ssd. create partition covering the rest of | 01:34 |
| tomreyn | available space on both ssd's, type raid-2, create a raid-1 across both components. create / on top of RAID-1 array (or add LVM in between, if needed). | 01:34 |
| tomreyn | Talen: and once your installation is done and the system boots fine, you do the zfs on the other disks (but read up on zfs licensing vs linux licensing issues if you haven't). | 01:37 |

| royal_screwup21 | anyone know how to turn up/down brightness in ubuntu 17.10? I (foolishly) upgraded from 16.04 to said version, now this key isn't working. I tried changing grub setting as suggested in one SO answer, but that didn't work. I tried configuring GNOME brightness extension but that didn't work either. | 01:48 |
| tomreyn | !17.10 | royal_screwup21 | 01:53 |
| ubottu | royal_screwup21: Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) was the 27th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 19th, 2018. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2018-July/004483.html | 01:53 |
| aurolac | just tried to run 0ad from a snap | 01:54 |
| aurolac | got this error, 0ad | 01:54 |
| aurolac | execv failed: No such file or directory | 01:54 |
| aurolac | any ideas? | 01:54 |
| tomreyn | aurolac: talk to the package maintainer | 01:54 |
| aurolac | so its not a snap issue? | 01:56 |
| calher | Does Ubuntu 16.04's file manager know how to mount LVM volumes? | 01:56 |
| reepicheep_ | vel | 01:56 |
| tomreyn | aurolac: If something a snap provides doesn'T work, it's either a bug in the snap or in the snap daemon/tooling or in the snap infrastructure. Until the first is ruled out, don't bother considering the other options. | 01:57 |
| tomreyn | aurolac: note there are two separate 0 A.D. snaps available, one of which provides multiple channels. | 01:57 |
| tomreyn | calher: LVM logical volumes can't be mounted themselves, only if they contain a supported file system. this said, i *think* (not actually sure) nautilus (the default gnome + unity file manager) can handle those via udisks and / or gvfs in 16.04.6 | 02:00 |
| calher | tomreyn: The partition with the LVM is an XFS file system. | 02:02 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: do you understand the security impact of running an operating system (supposedly on a network) which has reached its end of life half a year ago? | 02:03 |
| tomreyn | calher: hmm, so you tried and it didn't work? | 02:03 |
| royal_screwup21 | i didn't know until few seconds ago support for that version had ended | 02:03 |
| calher | tomreyn: I asked here to see if it's worth rebooting into my Ubuntu live USB and trying it. | 02:04 |
| calher | My system's messed up and I'm using someone else's computer to get to my disk. | 02:04 |
| CodeMouse92 | royal_screwup21: Definitely try 18.04 (LTS) or 18.10. I'll bet the brightness will be working there | 02:04 |
| CodeMouse92 | If not, come on back! | 02:05 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: non !LTS releases generally have no more than 9 months of support. the channel topic here usually lists the supported releases. running "ubuntu-support-status" can also help getting a better understanding of the support status of a specific system. | 02:05 |
| calher | OK, going downstairs to get my USB. | 02:05 |
| tomreyn | calher: why not go for the latest LTS release instead, Ubuntu 18.04 ? | 02:06 |
| calher | tomreyn: All our computers are stuck on 16.04 until we can migrate everything. I use the 16.04 live USB for testing purposes. | 02:07 |
| tomreyn | calher: i see. well, you got two years left (plus ESM, potentially). maybe the software you cannot migrate, yet, could also be installed as a snap, in a chroot, in a container or VM. | 02:09 |
| tomreyn | calher: be sure to use the latest 16.04 live/installer iso for testing, released today. | 02:09 |
| calher | Yeah, we're working on it. It should be ready in a few months. | 02:10 |
| calher | tomreyn: Link? | 02:10 |

| Aleric | Hello. I believe to have discovered bug in getnameinfo(3). How/where would I report such a bug? | 02:49 |
| calher | CodeMouse92: Yes. | 02:51 |
| CodeMouse92 | Okay, so you're on the right tracker, then. Hm, dunno. | 02:51 |
| tomreyn | Aleric: first identify the package it belongs to, then run "ubuntu-bug PACKAGE" (replacing PACKAGE by the actual package name) to report the bug against your ubuntu release. alternatively, or additionally, read the very man pages' COLOPHON section to file a bug upstream. | 02:53 |
| CodeMouse92 | calher: You can test your net speed with http://speedtest.net/ | 02:54 |
| tomreyn | calher: i just downloaded using the same trackers with several MB/s, so i believe it has to do with your internet access. | 02:54 |
| Aleric | tomreyn: The getnameinfo manpage says "Since glibc 2.22", so I suppose it belongs to package libc6? | 02:54 |
| calher | tomreyn: It's speeding up now. | 02:55 |
| calher | 168 kB/s now | 02:56 |
| tomreyn | Aleric: you are jumping to conclusions. does this tell you which packages this man page beloings to? dpkg -S getnameinfo | 02:57 |
| tomreyn | *packagE | 02:57 |
| Aleric | tomreyn: No, that just lists the package names of the man pages for that function. It is implemented in libc though... | 03:01 |
| Aleric | >readelf -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep getnameinfo | 03:02 |
| Aleric | 931: 000000000013e360 1551 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 13 getnameinfo@@GLIBC_2.2.5 | 03:02 |
| tomreyn | Aleric: "getnameinfo(3)", which you said you want to report a bug against, refers to the man page, section 3, of the "getnameinfo()" function. this man page is part of the "Linux Programmer's Manual", packaged as manpages-dev in Ubuntu, as indicated by "dpkg -S getnameinfo" | 03:03 |
| tomreyn | Aleric: if you instead want to file a bug against the actual "getnameinfo()" function, this is part of linux. | 03:04 |
| Aleric | It's common to refer to a function by it's man page (aka, type getnameinfo(3))... the bug is in the function, not the man page. | 03:05 |
| tomreyn | so the linux kernel. "ubuntu-bug linux", upstream bug tracker is https://bugzilla.kernel.org | 03:05 |
| Aleric | yeah no... it's not part of the linux kernel :p | 03:06 |

| BenderRodriguez | blame the sad state of linux on desktop | 03:08 |
| yvyz | True | 03:09 |
| tomreyn | neither here | 03:09 |
| yvyz | Im just, miffed. Ive never had an entire package manager dependency list break over video drivers before. Other things ofcourse, but FFS, something so basic and ubiquitus as wanting to SEE YOUR DESKTOP... | 03:09 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:10 |
| tomreyn | ^ yvyz | 03:10 |
| yvyz | I love how the community continueally cares about all these great new technologies and building web apps, turns around and complains about video drivers and display, and only a FEW sit down and develop solutions. | 03:10 |
| yvyz | Oh great, ubuntu core on an rpi. | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | please stay on topic | 03:11 |
| yvyz | But I cannot easily install one of the most basic of drivers | 03:11 |
| calher | Ubuntu works fine on my ten year old ThinkPad. Suspend/resume, everything's great. | 03:11 |
| yvyz | Thats pretty on topic as its a common ubuntu/debian issue esp after the systemd change | 03:11 |
| yvyz | But thanks for the input tomreyn | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | yvyz: *this* channel is only for ubuntu support Q&A, not for sharing experiences or opinions. there are other channels. | 03:12 |
| yvyz | I see you are the Zues of these lands. | 03:12 |
| yvyz | Hey guys, anybody ever have problems installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu 18.04? | 03:13 |
| tomreyn | nor for polls | 03:13 |
| guiverc | yvyz, this is not a chat or poll channel, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting/polling.. | 03:13 |
| yvyz | Well, it's interesting see: I keep getting package manager issues about dependencies when I try to install nvidia proprietary via software and drivers. Is there any relevant fix for this? | 03:14 |
| yvyz | Is this something that is intended to be fixed upstream with debian? Or is Ubuntu-dev working on a fix? It seems pretty common. | 03:15 |
| tomreyn | !details | 03:15 |
| ubottu | 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. | 03:15 |
| Bashing-om | yvyz: I too have no issues with nvidia drivers in 18.04. What is broke in your system ? | 03:16 |
| yvyz | Well you see I have an 18.04 installation with an Nvidia 1050 Ti on board. When I run ubuntu-drivers autoinstall it seems to hang on "nvidia-309 depends on nvidia-309:i386" but if I try to install nvidia-309:i386 it says that it depends on nvidia-309. So i get a dependency loop and this breaks apt. | 03:17 |
| yvyz | I should say I am running two video cards. One Quadro 2000 (nvidia-304) and a 1050 Ti (nvidia-309) | 03:17 |
| yvyz | I first attempted to use the software and drivers app to switch to proprietary drivers but they would never green light, and would immediately re-highlight the neauveu driver. | 03:18 |
| yvyz | But then I attempted to switch the 1050 Ti one at a time, and got it into install. When I rebooted I was met with the right light warning that my package manager wsa broken. | 03:19 |
| yvyz | So I eventually had to go back into terminal and attempt to remove the nvidia software via apt. Which failed because of the aformention dependency loop. | 03:19 |
| yvyz | Somehow I got things cleared up after using LC_MESSAGE=C and dpkg to remove all of the packages. | 03:20 |
| yvyz | So my 1050 Ti is working, after hand install the nvidia drivers via apt after a apt upgrade. But I cannot get my Quaddro 2000 to use the nvidia-304 drivers for the life of me. | 03:20 |
| lunatikos | hi ! i got problem with steam steamplay / proton... when i click PLAY on my games it shows "launching game...." then the window close directly and it does not lau,ch/open the game. any idea how i can fix the issue ? seems like something is missing.. got ubuntu 18.10 + nvidia-415 (ppa) | 03:21 |
| yvyz | Which doesnt seem quite right. I cannot get the 304 drivers to take after reboot whether i install via command line or set the drivers via package and drivers | 03:21 |
| yvyz | Any idea what could be happening? | 03:21 |
| tomreyn | yvyz: i suggest you report a bug if ubuntu-drivers doesn't work as expected (search for existing bug reports first). | 03:22 |
| tomreyn | also consider installing a 64-bit variant of ubuntu | 03:23 |
| yvyz | Linux workstation 4.18.0-15-generic #16~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 7 14:06:04 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 03:24 |
| tomreyn | ah so it's just the packages then, maybe there are no 64-bit packages for those drivers. | 03:24 |
| tomreyn | !steam | lunatikos | 03:25 |
| ubottu | lunatikos: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 03:25 |

| yvyz | Which fixed apt | 03:31 |
| yvyz | But now I am unable to install the 340 drivers and have them take. | 03:31 |
| tomreyn | yvyz: your initial report was about "When I run ubuntu-drivers autoinstall it seems to hang on "nvidia-309 depends on nvidia-309:i386" but if I try to install nvidia-309:i386 it says that it depends on nvidia-309. So i get a dependency loop and this breaks apt." | 03:32 |

| tonyt | you can always download what ever nvidia driver from nvidia and manually install it yourself. | 03:33 |
| yvyz | I done just that. Which is what software and drivers does. | 03:34 |
| yvyz | But I cannot get them to take | 03:34 |
| tomreyn | yvyz: yes, you said so. i'm still trying to help you report a but about the issues you faced while doing so, or finding out whether there are such bug reports, with a possibly better workaround than those you applied. | 03:35 |
| yvyz | Yes, I am using 3 screens. All three screens work right. Two (HDMI and DP) on the 1050 and one (VGA) on the 2000 | 03:35 |

| yvyz | tomreyn: very possible. I am not trying to be a dick here. | 03:35 |
| yvyz | I saw that as well. But I should still be able to load them ya? | 03:36 |
| yvyz | Or maybe the latest kernels break them completely? | 03:36 |

| yvyz | In the exec command field just "setuid $userid$" | 03:52 |

| SudoBash | when doing updates through aptitude, apt, apt-get install, etc... why not wait until everything is done before generating kernel and init images instead of doing it after every time it installs something that requires a kernel change? for instance accumulate all the changes the need to be done to the kernel and init images and apply all at the same | 04:41 |
| SudoBash | time at the end of updates instead of throughout the entire process multiple times.................????? | 04:41 |
| yvyz | JFox762: duplicity verify -v9 /path/to/backup/location /foldertobebackedup | 04:44 |
| yvyz | qwebirc27864: 503 errors are generally due to proxy configurations on a host or network. | 04:44 |
| qwebirc27864 | SudoBash: most likely so if one fails you know which one it is with a miniamal amout of back tracking | 04:44 |

| SudoBash | when you finally apply the kernel / init images just log to stdout and stderr properly and shouldn't have a problem with iterating through an array of kernel / init changes | 04:48 |

| royal_screwup21 | I think it was the latter | 05:04 |
| yvyz | qwebirc27864: Following up on tomreyn's suggestion, you could: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:07 |

| JFox762_ | absolute path? | 05:12 |
| qwebirc27864 | im going to go get a new usb and try reinstalling | 05:12 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc27864: wget -O- http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ is an alternative | 05:13 |
| JFox762_ | can you elaborate yvyz ? | 05:13 |
| yvyz | JFox762_: you defined an incorrect path | 05:13 |
| JFox762_ | in the Backup directory? or the Directory to be backed up? | 05:13 |
| yvyz | It needs to be /path/to/file/thefile | 05:14 |
| yvyz | For file:/// | 05:14 |
| royal_screwup21 | actually, I just scrolled up: I did a do-release-upgrade | 05:14 |
| qwebirc27864 | yvyz: tomreyn: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/XZjVwC6BFW/ still no dice | 05:14 |
| yvyz | Is the same error with https:// ? | 05:15 |
| tomreyn | security.ubuntu.com is not available via https | 05:15 |
| yvyz | qwebirc27864: Do you have a firewall at your house, or just a normal modem -> router -> machine setup? | 05:15 |
| yvyz | ahh | 05:16 |
| JFox762_ | yvyz: does it need to be a .gpg file? | 05:16 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc27864: a "virus scanner" may also be getting in the way there | 05:16 |
| JFox762_ | like an individual one? | 05:16 |
| JFox762_ | I'm confused | 05:16 |
| yvyz | He did say its a clean fresh install | 05:16 |
| qwebirc27864 | regular set up | 05:16 |
| JFox762_ | duplicity verify -v9 file://media/jack/USB128/Backup/Backup1 /home/jack/ | 05:16 |
| JFox762_ | is the command i used | 05:16 |
| JFox762_ | duplicity verify -v9 file://media/jack/USB128/Backup/ /home/jack/ | 05:17 |
| JFox762_ | i also used that one | 05:17 |
| JFox762_ | my duplicity files (the .gpg files) are in the Backup folder | 05:17 |
| qwebirc27864 | im going to get out of your hair tonight im going to go for the nuclear option in the moring and buy a new usb stick | 05:17 |
| JFox762_ | on my 128gb USB | 05:17 |
| yvyz | JFox762_: ls -al /media/jack/USB128/Backup | nc termbin.com 9999 | 05:17 |
| qwebirc27864 | and try again | 05:17 |
| qwebirc27864 | thank you for trying and best of luck | 05:18 |
| JFox762_ | https://pastebin.com/G8KdYePi | 05:18 |
| JFox762_ | there you go | 05:18 |
| JFox762_ | thats the output | 05:18 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc27864: come back tomorrow if you run into the same issues, and sum things up again shortly here. | 05:19 |
| royal_screwup21 | It's at "Unpacking linux-headers-4.15.0-45 (4.15.0-45.48) ..." -- any idea how much longer this upgrade is going to take? | 05:19 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc27864: good luck! | 05:19 |
| qwebirc27864 | ill at least come back to let you know what has happened | 05:20 |
| JFox762_ | https://termbin.com/6llk | 05:20 |
| JFox762_ | oops | 05:20 |
| yvyz | JFox762_: does: duplicity list-current-files file:///path/to/backup/folder | 05:21 |
| yvyz | list files? | 05:21 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc27864: i think this can be worked around should you run into the same issues again then. but it'd take some more time. | 05:21 |
| JFox762_ | oh wait | 05:21 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: how long have you been waiting? | 05:21 |
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: at least 2.5 hours | 05:22 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: oh, did your disk run full then? | 05:22 |
| JFox762_ | I have two backup folders | 05:22 |
| JFox762_ | Backup and Backup2 | 05:22 |
| JFox762_ | i tried the command with both, and still get the same result | 05:22 |
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: I don't think so, but is there a quick terminal command to check? | 05:22 |
| yvyz | royal_screwup21: df -h | 05:23 |
| tomreyn | inteus: hi there, got a minute? we just had a comcast user here who was unable to access this: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ - could you test whether you get to see a directory listing there? | 05:23 |
| royal_screwup21 | nope | 05:23 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: df -h / | 05:24 |
| JFox762_ | yvyz: | 05:24 |
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: nah I have lots of space | 05:24 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: i'd say backup your files and do a fresh install. | 05:25 |

| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: the thing is, it isn't stuck...it's just taking a long time... | 05:25 |
| inteus | tomreyn: yes, a directory listing loads | 05:26 |
| tomreyn | inteus: thanks! | 05:26 |
| royal_screwup21 | looking at the logs I see stuff is definitely happening, but I'm curious if its expected to take as long | 05:26 |
| === Guest12319 is now known as darkpix | ||
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: if it's unpacking linux-headers-4.15.0-45 for at least 2.5 hours then something is really wrong with your system. either the OS, which was unpatched for half a year, or the hardware. | 05:27 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: also the entire upgrade should not take this long, unless you have a really slow download. | 05:28 |
| royal_screwup21 | it was unpacking those header a while back, now it's unpacking task warrior... | 05:28 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: if you run "dmesg -w" on another terminal, does it keep adding new lines of output there? | 05:30 |
| tomreyn | (you can canel this with ctrl-c) | 05:30 |
| tomreyn | *cancel | 05:30 |
| pi0 | how do i connect ubuntu to my pi | 05:30 |
| pi0 | i am in settings bluetooth | 05:30 |
| pi0 | and says not setup | 05:30 |
| darkpix | im trying to create a mount in /mnt/feral using sshfs. It works fine when i run just the command to mount but when i create a mnt-feral.mount it fails | 05:30 |
| JFox762_ | yvyz: i created a new folder | 05:31 |
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: nope, it didn't add any lines in the last ~ 30 seconds | 05:31 |
| pi0 | i get the little circle for a little bit | 05:31 |
| royal_screwup21 | still no lines | 05:31 |
| darkpix | here is what im getting and the config im using https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y8dm2KBxTK/ | 05:31 |
| JFox762_ | seems to be backing up right now as I speak | 05:33 |
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: still no lines :( although the upgrade is showing new logs every few seconds.... | 05:33 |
| JFox762_ | I deleted the old backup folder | 05:33 |
| JFox762_ | and the old backup files (which is fine by me) | 05:33 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: if you like, you can post the full log online and i'll take a quick look: dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999 | 05:33 |
| === JFox762_ is now known as JFox762 | ||
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: https://termbin.com/yabi9 | 05:35 |
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: is the expectation that the there should be new lines outputted through dmesg? It's the same as it was before, nothing's changed :( | 05:40 |
| royal_screwup21 | now it's setting up a bunch of stuff | 05:42 |
| yvyz | I would say let it ride | 05:42 |
| yvyz | lol | 05:42 |
| royal_screwup21 | this nc termbin.com 9999 thing is pretty cool | 05:43 |
| yvyz | It makes things a LOT easier | 05:43 |
| cim209 | yvyz: indeed | 05:44 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: no, i don't expect new output on the dmesg command. you can cancel it | 05:45 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: the log you posted does not show any major issues. | 05:45 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: but the upgrade is taking way too long. it may be advisable to reset the SSD and reinstall | 05:46 |
| philip_ | Goodnight | 05:47 |
| darkpix | can anyone help? | 05:48 |
| tomreyn | !details | darkpix | 05:48 |
| ubottu | darkpix: 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. | 05:48 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: oh you asked before, sorry | 05:49 |
| darkpix | yeah. and im on 18.04 | 05:49 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: have you considered using real network shares? | 05:49 |
| darkpix | i have limited methods of connecting to the other box since i have no root access | 05:50 |
| darkpix | on the other box | 05:50 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: and whoever has root access there wouldn't set up an NFS or samba server there? | 05:51 |
| royal_screwup21 | now it's "removing obsolete obsolte connfile etc/xdg/QtProject/qtlogging.in"...this is taking exceptionally long | 05:51 |
| darkpix | no, it is a Feralhosting box | 05:52 |
| tomreyn | i don't know what a "Feralhosting box" is | 05:52 |
| darkpix | tomreyn it a slot i rent shared server with others. | 05:53 |
| darkpix | so the short answer is no i dont have root | 05:54 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: well, my point is: sshfs is a crude hack. you should not use it for anything serious. | 05:55 |
| darkpix | i tried nfs and they dont have it enabled. so sshfs was the best option i could find. all i need it for is to pull logs of it and dump a single text file on it from time to time | 05:56 |
| SeanConnely | the terminal interface protocol through another person sand with the other main person can instead be the through gate through the other terminal | 05:56 |
| darkpix | so no big file transferes or anthing | 05:56 |
| royal_screwup21 | should I ctrl + c? It's been ~3 minutes and it's still "Removing obsolete conffile /etc/xdg/QtProject/qtlogging.ini ..." | 05:56 |
| SeanConnely | no it is done through terminal switch through another being of another person through terminal | 05:57 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: oh okay, then it sounds like this could work ok, yes. i'm afraid i don't know how to debug the failing mount, though. sorry | 05:58 |
| oosehedaiphequag | how deeply do you examine source code before compiling? | 05:58 |
| SeanConnely | the other person can read the line through another eye in the terminal person of the other link | 05:58 |
| royal_screwup21 | when I do lsb_release -a it says I'm on ubuntu 18.04 | 05:59 |
| pi0 | in ubuntu how can i sync to my pi | 05:59 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: i guess i'd read up on the mount.sshfs (or whatever it is called) man page and increase log verbosity, and search the web for those outputs you get. | 05:59 |
| pi0 | i see it in my bluetooth scan | 05:59 |
| pi0 | but it does not connect | 05:59 |
| pi0 | i used this scipt https://github.com/DrRowland/RPi-Bluetooth-Console/blob/master/setup.sh | 05:59 |
| yvyz | pi0: please be more specific | 05:59 |
| SeanConnely | the output stream of the other stream can be a link between to people | 06:00 |
| darkpix | tomryn . ok...im wondering if it because when using it by just typing the command i do get prompt to enter the password and accept using passkey the first but in systemctl you cant get prompt ...i have looked up and added debug to the command | 06:00 |
| SeanConnely | the output data can be switched in another person link through the ink | 06:00 |
| pi0 | yvyz: yes | 06:01 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: wait, are you saying you need to authenticate by entering your password, haven't configured ssh keys? | 06:01 |
| SeanConnely | the hack code is the terminal of the other person through insight blare | 06:01 |
| pi0 | i configured my pi to enable bt | 06:01 |
| pi0 | i scanned all devices on my ubuntu laptop | 06:02 |
| yvyz | This is some interesting use of sshfs | 06:02 |
| pi0 | i clicked to sync but it did not | 06:02 |
| pi0 | yes the goal is ssh | 06:02 |
| yvyz | pi0: you need to make the BT device available for pairing. | 06:02 |
| tomreyn | darkpix: if this is so then yes, automating the mount wont work, as you just concluded correctly. | 06:02 |
| yvyz | darkpix: what was your intention again? | 06:02 |
| SeanConnely | the ssh is the other through the other through through another place in where they get through another | 06:03 |
| darkpix | tomreyn no..no...i setup the private key. but you know how the first time you login with ssh and private key you get a prompt | 06:03 |
| yvyz | ^ yes | 06:03 |
| tomreyn | !who | SeanConnely | 06:03 |
| ubottu | SeanConnely: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 06:03 |
| SeanConnely | the ssh is the gateway through another be in the place it can resolve | 06:03 |
| tomreyn | SeanConnely: are you a bot? | 06:03 |
| SeanConnely | noo i am not | 06:03 |
| yvyz | Its called a tunnel, or ssh tunnel. | 06:03 |
| tomreyn | SeanConnely: are you helping someone, or trying to get help? | 06:04 |
| darkpix | yvyz need to mount a remote server so i can pull logs, on remote server i have no root access and there is no nfs | 06:04 |
| yvyz | sshfs would be great for this as long as you have ssh access | 06:04 |
| darkpix | yes i do | 06:04 |
| yvyz | but I am wondering what your exact issue is, can you not mount? | 06:04 |
| darkpix | if i run the command in terminal, it works...but not when i run it via systemctl | 06:05 |
| === RaptorJesus is now known as E-Man | ||
| yvyz | darkpix: just like with ssh, you would benefit from configuring a .ssh/connectionConfigFile for the particular server you want | 06:05 |
| tomreyn | yvyz: here's what darkpix posted earlier: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y8dm2KBxTK/ | 06:06 |
| yvyz | darkpix: you can set the public key, ip, and user execution rules | 06:06 |
| royal_screwup21 | ok, I'm going to ctrl + c :( | 06:06 |
| yvyz | systemctl is not run as user | 06:06 |
| yvyz | and will not, unless specified in the service definition, run the service as your user | 06:07 |
| pi0 | hmm | 06:07 |
| pi0 | what can i do with this script | 06:07 |
| yvyz | so it is probably not finding your /home/user/.ssh/ folder, and thus not using the correct key | 06:07 |
| pi0 | https://github.com/DrRowland/RPi-Bluetooth-Console/blob/master/setup.sh | 06:07 |
| pi0 | i dont know what to do | 06:09 |
| darkpix | yvyz so your saying i should remove the uid and gid from mnt-feral.mount? | 06:09 |
| royal_screwup21 | lol first bug with 18.04 | 06:09 |
| yvyz | darkpix: in your users .ssh folder /home/username/.ssh, create a host entry for your remote host | 06:09 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: if you cancelled the upgrade, you are not running ubuntu 18.04 | 06:10 |
| yvyz | And then you can set your service to sshfs hostname mountpoint | 06:10 |
| royal_screwup21 | tomreyn: I pressed enter and it brought me back to promprt | 06:10 |
| === oosehedaiphequag is now known as chomsky | ||
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: what did the line before that say? | 06:11 |
| yvyz | darkpix: And verify that your .mount service is set to setuid/setguid yourusername | 06:11 |
| darkpix | yvyz do you mind modifying my paste of the .mount so i can see what you mean? | 06:12 |
| yvyz | If you are using systemd service defintions, you will set User= and Group= | 06:12 |
| pi0 | yvyz: shoot i dont even know what to do about this | 06:13 |
| === chomsky is now known as oosehedaiphequag | ||
| royal_screwup21 | tomaw: before "removing obsolete..."? "Setting up libqt5core5a:amd64 (5.9.5+dfsg-0ubuntu1) ..." | 06:13 |
| yvyz | pi0: have you ever paired two bluetooth devices before? | 06:13 |
| pi0 | not yet | 06:14 |
| yvyz | darkpix: Let me take a look, but you could do this with an easier config | 06:14 |
| darkpix | yvyz initially i was following this example https://www.buggycoder.com/mount-remote-fs-sshfs-systemd/ | 06:14 |
| yvyz | darkpix: uname -a | 06:15 |
| darkpix | ? | 06:17 |
| yvyz | actually, what user do you want to run this under?> | 06:21 |
| yvyz | Does /data/.ssh/feral exist? | 06:21 |
| yvyz | Or is it in /home/username/.ssh/feral ? | 06:21 |
| darkpix | it does exist | 06:22 |
| yvyz | chmod 600 /data/.ssh/feral | 06:23 |
| yvyz | and try it | 06:23 |
| darkpix | if i run this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hPfHhb6BTC/ it works...let me give that a try | 06:24 |
| yvyz | I just wonder if its either a key permission issue or you are not getting the prompt for first key use for some reason | 06:24 |
| darkpix | it was already set to 600 | 06:25 |
| darkpix | and in known_host i already have the entry from the first key use | 06:25 |
| yvyz | ls -al /data/.ssh/ -- who owns feral | 06:25 |
| darkpix | -rw------- 1 plex plex 1675 Feb 21 00:35 feral | 06:26 |
| yvyz | (rclone is far easier solution ;)) | 06:27 |
| darkpix | plex:x:1000:1000::/home/plex:/bin/bash | 06:27 |
| yvyz | ok | 06:27 |
| yvyz | You might want to add User=plex and Group=plex to your systemd .mount file | 06:28 |
| yvyz | So the service executes as the user | 06:28 |
| yvyz | So in [Service/Mount] add User=plex and Group=plex | 06:29 |
| darkpix | ok..let me try | 06:29 |
| pi0 | yvyz: how do i see why a bt did not sync | 06:30 |
| pi0 | were are the logs | 06:30 |
| yvyz | pi0: /var/log$ grep blue syslog.1|more | 06:31 |
| yvyz | pi0: tail -f /var/log/syslog and attempt to pair and see what it says | 06:31 |
| darkpix | yvyz no dice https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/T6CMKVZqnD/ | 06:33 |
| yvyz | darkpix: if that doesnt work... | 06:33 |
| yvyz | ok well | 06:34 |
| yvyz | Lets put it this way, lets just define the service for you rlocal PC to run as root | 06:34 |
| yvyz | And remove the uid and gid flags from the fstab entry you made | 06:35 |
| royal_screwup21 | Hi all. So I tried to update my 17.10 to 18.04...and things have gone horribly horribly wrong. I managed to get the do-release upgrade done, but now I can't seem to login. When I click on my username and enter passwords, it takes prompts me to login yet again. The password is alright; it's literally just cycling back, not giving me access. | 06:35 |
| royal_screwup21 | password* | 06:35 |
| lotuspsychje | royal_screwup21: 17.10 is end of life | 06:36 |
| royal_screwup21 | I know | 06:36 |
| royal_screwup21 | that's why I tried to upgrade | 06:36 |
| mlalkaka | In the Ubuntu/Gnome settings, there's a Display Scale option. How do I get or set that value from the command line? None of the tools I've tried (gsettings and xdpyinfo) seem to be used on the "backend" of that setting | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | royal_screwup21: upgrading from eol releases can get you in trouble, also security issues | 06:36 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: which desktop are you using? | 06:37 |
| royal_screwup21 | I'm on a dell laptop | 06:37 |
| darkpix | yvyz i wanted to avoid editing the fstab directly by using systemd but if it isnt working i might have to go that route. right now i had it setup in a cronjob with the @reboot in front | 06:37 |
| royal_screwup21 | lotuspsychje: I'm going to try and go into recovery mode. Is there anything I can do from there to gain access? | 06:37 |
| royal_screwup21 | I'm looking at the recovery menu right now | 06:38 |
| yvyz | darkpix: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Rsqc5xKrGh/ | 06:38 |
| royal_screwup21 | there#s a few options- resume, cleanean, root, fsck, grub... | 06:38 |
| yvyz | darkpix: this will create a systemd entry for you | 06:38 |
| pi0 | wow so much i did not understand | 06:39 |
| darkpix | ah gotcha...trying... | 06:39 |
| royal_screwup21 | I'd love a pointer or two in the right direction :( I'm super screwed up this time | 06:39 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: one more time - which desktop are you using? | 06:40 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: not sure what you mean :) I've tried to install ubuntu 18.04 on on Linux. It's on a dell laptop | 06:40 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: is it the regular ubuntu desktop version? | 06:41 |
| royal_screwup21 | yu[p I followed the instructions on here https://itsfoss.com/use-unity-ubuntu-17-10/ | 06:41 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: * | 06:41 |
| royal_screwup21 | err | 06:42 |
| royal_screwup21 | sorry I'm on a different computer atm, it's not that link and I'm a bit flustered | 06:42 |
| royal_screwup21 | it was this one https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-ubuntu-version/ | 06:43 |
| ducasse | ok, let the machine boot fully, let me know when you're at the login screen | 06:43 |
| yvyz | royal_screwup21: if you did not lose any data, save yourself the headache and just install 18.04 | 06:43 |
| lotuspsychje | +1 | 06:43 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: I'm looking at the recovery menu. I see option like resume, clean, root, systems memory, grub fsck | 06:43 |
| royal_screwup21 | resume -> resume normal boot, root -> drop to root shell prompt | 06:44 |
| yvyz | darkpix: update? | 06:44 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: resume | 06:45 |
| yvyz | pi0: Can you please explain the exact thing you are trying to do? WHat are the devices you want to pair? | 06:45 |
| darkpix | yvyz it seems to be running but nothing is showing up in mnt/feral just double checking...sec | 06:45 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: cool...thing is, I tried resume a while back and it takes me to the login screen, but there's nothing in the login screen. It just asks me for my password, which I enter, and then it prompts me for my password again...and again | 06:46 |
| pi0 | how do i find out my bt mac address | 06:46 |
| pi0 | yvyz: i would like to pair my pi with ubuntu | 06:46 |
| yvyz | pi0: what you ask does not make sense. You pair devices, not OS's and devices. | 06:47 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: at the login screen, press ctrl+alt+f2 | 06:47 |
| pi0 | can i pair my pi as a device | 06:47 |
| pi0 | then ssh into it | 06:48 |
| yvyz | pi0: What are you trying to pair your pi to? | 06:48 |
| yvyz | pi0: Pairing your pi to another computer? | 06:48 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: alrighty, pressed resume, will keep you informed | 06:48 |
| darkpix | yvyz woot! its up! but will i be able to write to it since we removed the uid? | 06:48 |
| yvyz | darkpix: as long as you have permissions, yep! | 06:48 |
| yvyz | darkpix: and if its for what I think it is for, you should really check the sweet solution over at https://rclone.org/ | 06:49 |
| darkpix | i already have rclone on the machine | 06:49 |
| darkpix | but its for logs | 06:49 |
| yvyz | Cool | 06:50 |
| darkpix | it so i can have access to the log files i use and add them to logarr | 06:50 |
| yvyz | Lemme know if you can write to the mount point | 06:50 |
| darkpix | going to try | 06:50 |
| yvyz | darkpix: cool. yea you can use it for tons of things. rclone is also great for securing your backups and creating rsync style diff triggered syncing | 06:51 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: pressing ctrl alt f2, but nothing's happening. f2 is also ,yeyboard shortcut to increase volume | 06:51 |
| royal_screwup21 | also my keyboard* | 06:51 |
| darkpix | yvyz is it normal that it is slow to navigate? | 06:52 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: what about ctrl+alt+f3? | 06:52 |
| yvyz | darkpix: depends on your network connection to the remote host | 06:52 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: nope :( | 06:52 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: ctrl alt f4 did something; I see bash prompt against a black background | 06:53 |
| yvyz | ^ good | 06:53 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: ah, good. does it have a login prompt? | 06:53 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: yup I logged in | 06:53 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: and that went fine? | 06:53 |
| royal_screwup21 | yup | 06:53 |
| royal_screwup21 | fwiw, it says "welcome to ubuntu 18.04.02" right at the top | 06:54 |
| yvyz | darkpix: in your fstab entry, you could always try adding -o auto_cache: oauto_cache,reconnect,defer_permissions,noappledouble,nolocalcaches,no_readahead | 06:56 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: run this - 'rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity .cache .dbus .dmrc .mission-control .thumbnails ~/.config/dconf/user ~.compiz*' | 06:56 |
| darkpix | ok..because it is locking up...i cant get to /mnt/feral now | 06:57 |
| darkpix | just hangs | 06:57 |
| yvyz | darkpix: and you could further set a more efficient encryption alg to like arcfour | 06:57 |
| yvyz | darkpix: so with the other above additions, you could add Ciphers=arcfour | 06:58 |
| yvyz | I believe my default it uses AES128-cbc | 06:59 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: done, I see a blinking _ | 06:59 |
| royal_screwup21 | ok I got a permission denied | 06:59 |
| pi0 | yvyz: is it possible what i am trying to do | 06:59 |
| royal_screwup21 | I guess I should do it with sudo? | 06:59 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: just wait until it finishes and gives you a prompt again | 06:59 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: rm: cannot remove .dbus: Permission denied | 06:59 |
| yvyz | pi0: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36889 | 06:59 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: is there anything I should be googling? I'm not sure what the term is for this "login cycle" | 07:02 |
| darkpix | yvyz i must go sleep, i will check back in tomorrow | 07:02 |
| yvyz | royal_screwup21: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2268988 | 07:02 |
| yvyz | darkpix: ok, gl. | 07:02 |
| darkpix | thanks for the help | 07:02 |
| pi0 | thank you | 07:02 |
| yvyz | darkpix: np | 07:02 |
| yvyz | pi0: np | 07:02 |
| pi0 | yvyz: does this seem possible too? https://medium.com/@andrewlr/raspberry-pi-zero-w-setup-ab16f89d8120 | 07:02 |
| pi0 | i noticed it right before you pasted the link | 07:03 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: not really. do you get a prompt yet? | 07:03 |
| yvyz | pi0: yes you could try that as well. You will want to think that your desktop machine is the master and your pi as the slave. | 07:04 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: yup I got a prompt | 07:04 |
| yvyz | pi0: so you are pairing the pi to your desktop, not the other way around | 07:04 |
| royal_screwup21 | that rm command was denied because: "m: cannot remove .dbus: Permission denied " | 07:04 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: | 07:04 |
| yvyz | royal_screwup21: sudo command | 07:04 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: run it again with sudo, should finish quickly | 07:05 |
| royal_screwup21 | ok I sudo'd it, finishe quick | 07:05 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: now 'sudo systemctl restart gdm3' | 07:06 |
| pi0 | yvyz: oh shoot | 07:06 |
| yvyz | ducasse: if that doesnt work, his gdm3 could have been corrupted and might need a reinstall/rebuild? | 07:06 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: done, it brough me to the login screen. Again some problem :( I entred password and it cycles back to login | 07:07 |
| pi0 | almost feel that i should get a arduino module | 07:07 |
| pi0 | to make it easier lol | 07:07 |
| yvyz | pi0: as long as they both have BlueTooth transcievers they should be able to connect. But anything more outside of general ubuntu configurations you might want to check with the rpi channels | 07:08 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: try the icon next to your username that lets you select desktop, what does it list? | 07:08 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: the icon is basically an empty square. Below that is "Not Listed?" | 07:09 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: ok, ctrl+alt+f4 to return to the console | 07:09 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: done | 07:10 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: run 'sudo apt --install-recommends --reinstall ubuntu-desktop' | 07:10 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: i'm getting: commandline line option --reinstall is not understood in combination other options | 07:12 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: ok, remove --install-recommends | 07:13 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: --reinstall is not understood in combidation with other options | 07:14 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: did you mean something like this? sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 07:15 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: yes | 07:16 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: sorry :) | 07:16 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: no worries :) so I ran that, got dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run sudo dpk --configure -a | 07:17 |
| royal_screwup21 | Ill run that and then the install | 07:17 |
| ducasse | yes, do that | 07:18 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: it looks like your upgrade might have been interrupted | 07:19 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: hmm maybe....it took more 2.5 hours though and now I'm seeing a lot of logs like "installing new version of config file in..." | 07:20 |
| royal_screwup21 | I'll let it finish and keep you informed | 07:20 |
| ducasse | ok, i'll be here for a while yet | 07:21 |
| royal_screwup21 | It's been on "updating database of manual pages" for the last 20 seconds.... | 07:23 |
| Furai | Does anyone know here when 418 nvidia drivers will make it to the Graphics PPA? | 07:24 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: it needs to finish this, though, if you want to try and avoid a reinstall | 07:24 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: yup it's moved ahead and setting up other stuff...fingers crossed the resintall works | 07:25 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: so I got a prompt : a new version of the configuration file /etc/default/grub is available, but the version installed is currently modified | 07:26 |
| royal_screwup21 | what do you want to do about the modified configuration file grub? | 07:26 |
| royal_screwup21 | install the package maintainers version | 07:26 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: keep local version | 07:26 |
| royal_screwup21 | keep the local version currently installed | 07:26 |
| royal_screwup21 | ok | 07:26 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: hmm actually...just so you know I did modify that file sometime back in an attempt solve this | 07:27 |
| royal_screwup21 | I pretty compy pasted from an SO thread | 07:27 |
| royal_screwup21 | pretty much* | 07:28 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: should not be relevant to this, we might look at it later if necessary | 07:29 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: ah I remember why...it was cause the brightness key wasn't working on my keyboard (on ubunutu 17.04) | 07:30 |
| royal_screwup21 | anyway, keeping the local version | 07:30 |
| === shannara__ is now known as shannara | ||
| royal_screwup21 | hmmm so how does that dpkg configure command work? Does it resume where the process left off, or does it the process all over again? | 07:44 |
| royal_screwup21 | because I'm pretty sure I'm seeing "setting up <foo>" twice -- now, and once before | 07:45 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: could have been just a similar package name | 07:47 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: ok, so that finished, and I ran the reinstall, and now it's rebooting I think | 07:47 |
| royal_screwup21 | screen is blank, I think it turned off power | 07:48 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: I turned it on. Should I got to Ubuntu or advanced options for Ubuntu? | 07:49 |
| ducasse | just boot normally | 07:49 |
| ducasse | so ubuntu | 07:49 |
| royal_screwup21 | cool okay# | 07:49 |
| ducasse | at the login screen, click the icon again | 07:50 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: yup, will do. For some reason it's gotten terribly slower, that ubuntu logo is still showing up... | 07:52 |
| ducasse | you might still be missing packages, we'll look into that | 07:53 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: previously I was able to get into ubuntu 17.04 by hitting adv options for ubunut -> recovery mode | 07:53 |
| ducasse | you couldn't get in otherwise? | 07:54 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: nope, I couldn't get in I hit ubuntu. It was super strange. I was normally always able to get into ubuntu 16.04 by simply hitting ubuntu, until I inadvertently upgraded to 17.04 | 07:55 |
| royal_screwup21 | if I* | 07:55 |
| royal_screwup21 | when that inadvertent upgrade happened, I went to adv options -> recovery mode and things somehow worked | 07:56 |
| royal_screwup21 | anyway, now it looks like it's frozen; that ubunut logo is still showing | 07:56 |
| royal_screwup21 | ubuntu* | 07:57 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: i strongly suspect you really should backup your data and do a reinstall | 07:57 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: if you're still here, try booting like you did before, bu going through recovery mode | 08:02 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: ah yeah doing just that | 08:02 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: ok there was no login, the screen opened up | 08:03 |
| royal_screwup21 | home screen* | 08:03 |
| royal_screwup21 | I see the "what#s new in ubuntu " crap | 08:04 |
| ducasse | open a terminal | 08:04 |
| royal_screwup21 | yup | 08:04 |
| ducasse | 'sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade' | 08:05 |
| royal_screwup21 | cool, it's running | 08:05 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: yup its done | 08:06 |
| ducasse | 'sudo apt install -f' | 08:06 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: done, all good | 08:06 |
| ducasse | ok, so it seems you're more or less up and running, but i wouldn't trust this install. i strongly suggest you consider a fresh install. | 08:07 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: yup I think that would be for the best....but anyway, thanks for helping me out here! :) | 08:08 |
| ducasse | np, hope you're ok now | 08:09 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: so I'm finding that I can't quite decrease the brightness of my screen using the keyboard keys. Do you by any chance what I should be looking into? I saw some threads where they modified the grub file, not too sure what the right call is | 08:13 |
| royal_screwup21 | decrease or increase* | 08:13 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: is it controlled by fn+function key? | 08:15 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: so it was previously f10 for decreasing, f11 for increasing | 08:15 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: with fn key? | 08:16 |
| royal_screwup21 | ducasse: nope, nothing doing with the fn key | 08:16 |
| ducasse | ok | 08:16 |
| yvyz | If you dont want to reinstall, and things seem to work OK, you can sudo apt-get -f install, and sudo apt-get update back and forth until you know your dependencies are not broken | 08:17 |
| ducasse | we've done that | 08:17 |
| yvyz | ok | 08:18 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: i don't know much about controlling screen brightness, other than there are several things it could be | 08:18 |
| ducasse | it could be an acpi problem | 08:18 |
| yvyz | is it a laptop? | 08:19 |
| royal_screwup21 | yup | 08:19 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: you can try this - http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 08:19 |
| yvyz | edit /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" | 08:19 |
| yvyz | basically just add the acpi_backlight=vendor | 08:20 |
| yvyz | run upgrade-grub and reboot | 08:20 |
| yvyz | https://askubuntu.com/a/1038144 is the general fixes for this | 08:21 |
| tomreyn | you may also want this bios upgrade (you're on BIOS 1.2.0 10/25/2017 currently): https://www.dell.com/support/home/de/de/debsdt1/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=rh9h5&oscode=wt64a&productcode=inspiron-15-7577-laptop | 08:21 |
| royal_screwup21 | cool will try that | 08:21 |
| tomreyn | royal_screwup21: ^ | 08:21 |
| tomreyn | and your system may have thermal issues. make sure it has enough space for air circulation to the sides. | 08:22 |
| ninaccino | Hello, I would like to ask if there is a possibility to add to my Ubuntu partition. I am running a Dual Boot Windows 10 with Ubuntu 18.04. | 08:23 |
| yvyz | ninaccino: You want to extend the size of your ubuntu partition? | 08:24 |
| ninaccino | Yes, exactly. | 08:24 |
| yvyz | ninaccino: Is your current hard disk completely full with partitions, or do you have free space? | 08:24 |
| Euph0ria | ninaccino: Boot from a liveCD/USB and run Gparted. | 08:24 |
| ninaccino | My current HD has free space | 08:25 |
| yvyz | Do what Euph0ria said | 08:25 |
| ninaccino | Alright, thank you ! | 08:25 |
| royal_screwup21 | I changed my grub file to this http://termbin.com/lq6a but it still doesn't work as it used to before (with f10 and f11 for decreasing and increasing brightness) | 08:30 |
| royal_screwup21 | also ran update | 08:30 |
| yvyz | royal_screwup21: can you adjust brightness via the gui? | 08:33 |
| royal_screwup21 | yvyz: there's no gui :( at least I don't see an option for brightness on the power settings | 08:34 |
| yvyz | Hmmm, if you dont even see it in poer options... | 08:36 |
| ducasse | royal_screwup21: try the bios update and the link i sent you | 08:38 |

| shibumi | I know that /run is a tmpfs | 09:42 |
| shibumi | But why get directories deleted just seconds after a mkdir? | 09:42 |
| jeremyb | ramsub07: You should file a bug report | 09:43 |

| omlet | Hello | 09:50 |
| omlet | I installed a 18.04 server with automatic lvm partition of 240gio disk | 09:50 |
| omlet | and now /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv is full | 09:51 |
| lotuspsychje | come join in #ubuntu-server omlet | 09:51 |
| ramsub07 | ledeni: I can only see Built-in Audio Analog Stero and in that the port says Headphones(Unplugged) | 09:53 |
| ninaccino | ramsub07: Is your Bluetooth adapter running? | 09:56 |
| ramsub07 | ninaccino: yes, i connected to my headphones from there | 09:56 |
| ninaccino | ramsub07: Your Bluetooth headphones were paired? Or did you get a signal that showed that the pairing went succesful from the Headphones side? | 09:58 |
| ramsub07 | ninaccino: usually my earphones sends a voice message if pairing is successful. but it doesn't when i connect to my laptop, but from my laptop's bluetooth manager, i can see the earphones is paired with and have also added to trusted devices | 10:00 |
| blb4393 | hi | 10:00 |
| ninaccino | ramsub07: It might be a very basic suggestion, but did you try to remove it as a trusted device, and re-pairing? | 10:00 |
| blb4393 | can a deb be recreated out of an installed package? I mean not manually | 10:01 |
| ramsub07 | ninaccino: yes, didn't work | 10:01 |
| ninaccino | ramsub07: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset Have you tried following these steps? | 10:02 |
| nakamaki | ramsub07: can you try unpairing it from all other machines as well? | 10:02 |
| nakamaki | i think it might be a problem on the headphones | 10:02 |
| nakamaki | like not enough open device slots | 10:02 |
| ninaccino | nakamaki: This could also be a thing. It's odd that it doesn't play the message when it paired, yet your laptop registered it. | 10:03 |
| ramsub07 | nakamaki: it's not paired with other devices at the moment | 10:03 |
| ramsub07 | nakamaki: i fail at point 12 in the link you have sent. i had tried that already | 10:05 |
| ninaccino | ramsub07: Do the earphones connect to any other device? | 10:07 |
| ramsub07 | yes, my macbook, mobile, and TV almost instantly | 10:07 |

| ninaccino | ramsub07: Okay, I see that multiple people have issues with Bluetooth 16.04, if you enter ' lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; lsusb; hciconfig -a; dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm ' could you post the results in a bin? | 10:11 |
| tomreyn | blb4393: dpkg-repack. but obviously that's not the best approach. why do you need to? | 10:12 |
| ninaccino | nakamaki: And also; make sure that your laptop is discoverable as well. " bluetoothctl " => " scan on " | 10:14 |
| ninaccino | ramsub07: Woops; Not nakamaki, but you haha. | 10:14 |
| ramsub07 | haha got it | 10:14 |
| ramsub07 | it is discoverable i made sure that as well | 10:14 |
| ninaccino | And what do you see in the list if you want to select a default device for sound? | 10:15 |
| ninaccino | Because it might be listed as simply 'headphones' or something. | 10:15 |

| DusteD | I just installed xmoto, and am greeted with "fatal exception : Unable to get xmDb version:" anyone had success with this game in recent times? | 10:25 |
| ninaccino | DusteD: 18? 16? What are you using. | 10:25 |
| DusteD | bionic, so that must be 18 iirc | 10:26 |
| ninaccino | DusteD: That is 18 yes, how did you attempt to install xmoto? | 10:27 |
| DusteD | apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install xmoto | 10:28 |
| DusteD | I checked some forums about incompatible database versions in the xmoto config dir, some of those fixed it by removing the dir, I tried that, but didn't work | 10:29 |
| ninaccino | DusteD: Hmm, yes I see these solutions as well, however your error seems a bit different. It is unable to retrieve the xmDb version.. | 10:31 |
| DusteD | exactly, I did ldd and see that it's linked to sqlite, but as per the above comamnd, I should be running "whatever is in the repository" | 10:32 |
| DusteD | I'm thinking that the call to litesql may be failing | 10:32 |
| DusteD | but that's slightly too technical for a "I just installed this via the package repository", where things are supposed to more or less work out of the box | 10:32 |
| ninaccino | DusteD: That might be the issue. If you completely purge xmoto and reinstall (basic I know) did or does that work? | 10:32 |
| ninaccino | Haha agreed | 10:33 |
| DusteD | going to try that, and wip the config dirs as well | 10:33 |
| ninaccino | Alright, keep me posted. | 10:33 |
| DusteD | nope, same deal, I'm wondering if someone else would repeat this experiment before I report this as a bug to the package maintainer | 10:34 |

| sullvian | What is the difference between installing Ubuntu server 18.04 by installing the lubuntu desktop later or directly installing the lubuntu 18.04 distribution? Security issues? since I do not control the console very well and you need to open some app with wine ... | 10:54 |
| sullvian | that they advise me to do in case I need a server 24/7 and a desktop with the lowest consumption. | 10:56 |
| ducasse | sullvian: if you install from the server image you will get some server-related packages installed by default | 10:58 |
| ducasse | sullvian: you can get those by installing the ubuntu-server package | 10:58 |
| sullvian | then recommend me to install lubuntu for its low consumption and install the packages you need server ?, is that I need a desktop and have wine app running | 11:01 |
| sullvian | Do you think it would be a good option and safe? | 11:01 |
| ducasse | sullvian: if you need a graphical desktop then lubuntu is pretty light, yes | 11:03 |
| sullvian | ok, thank you! | 11:03 |
| DusteD | ninaccino, okay, got it working, this was actually caused my my dejavu font package being messed up :s | 11:04 |

| JessArcade | lotuspsychje: I've purged lightdm, it was trying to run and I couldn't access a tty terminal to fix it, I guess I could try gdm to see if it happens there too | 14:26 |

| lotuspsychje | JessArcade: a few ideas: perhaps try to create a second user, see if you can get in or try purge nvidia* maybe a nouveau fallback would work | 14:30 |
| qwebirc99066 | anybody got any idea on why only 1 of my aliases is working? | 14:32 |

| baako | hi guys what command to update your nvidia driver? | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | baako, if you use the ubuntru recommended driver for nvidia, it will auto upgrade when they're available in the repos | 15:25 |
| baako | BluesKaj, am in command line | 15:26 |

| lotuspsychje_ | JessArcade: did you ltsupgrade from 16.04 before? | 16:22 |

| === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje | ||
| lordcirth | Roey, You enabled virtualization in BIOS? | 16:23 |
| Roey | yes I did | 16:23 |
| JessArcade | lotuspsychje_: yeah I had a working 16.04, tried do-release-upgrade but got errors about my ppas, tried to remove them, and it seemed to have installed 18.04 on reboot, but had to dist-upgrade to get all my software up to date and the dm was gone. | 16:24 |
| Roey | lordcirth: it was running fine until I suppose I ran dist-upgrade (from 18.04) and rebooted like a couple of months later | 16:24 |
| Roey | and I had been dist-upgrading it regularly | 16:24 |
| Roey | this time when I rebooted it, I got some error | 16:24 |
| darkpix | yvyz are you around? | 16:25 |
| lordcirth | Roey, I doubt that EFI is your problem. What error? | 16:25 |
| Roey | one moment.. I;ll re-enable things the way they were and report | 16:25 |

| Roey | lordcirth: "No bootable devices found". | 16:29 |
| SubCool | Everything i google brings me to the CLI VNCserver - | 16:29 |
| Roey | that's what it gives me when I re-enable UEFI | 16:29 |
| darkpix | so i need help getting SSHFS working with FSTAB/systemd automount..basically i have tried many variations of config in the fstab, all of them resulting in the the mount folder hanging when i navigate to it. I will paste my config | 16:30 |
| lordcirth | Roey, ok, and the last thing you changed was an apt upgrade, apt dist-upgrade, or do-release-upgrade? | 16:30 |
| Roey | nacc: you're right, dist-upgrade does not upgrade between releases. I had run do-release-upgrade, of course | 16:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | SubCool: x11vnc provides a very crude but functional GUI for managing a local instance of VNC server for the current logged in session | 16:30 |
| Roey | lordcirth: after transitioning to 18.10 a few months ago I had only been dist-upgrading since. | 16:31 |
| SubCool | pragmaticenigma - yeah, thats one of my favs. along with ssvnc. But- im looking for a simple gui serer that sits in the system tray. And is Always on. If i have to reformat this machine, which will happen, ill totally forget about all this configuring i did. | 16:31 |
| lordcirth | Roey, ok. So if you boot from a liveUSB, you can mount the hard drive without errors? You should be able to bind mount /dev and proc in, chroot, and run grub-install. Alternatively, run the boot repair iso | 16:32 |
| Roey | lordcirth: ok, I just heard of the boot-repair ISO in another channel actually.. does it work well? | 16:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | SubCool: If you are running Ubuntu 18.04, there are options in the Settings app for enabling and disabling a VNC server (vinegre) | 16:33 |
| Roey | lordcirth: do you forsee me having any issues with GRUB once I do grub-install? | 16:33 |
| lordcirth | Roey, yeah, it's pretty handy | 16:33 |
| SubCool | Ok, maybe im just not thinking this through thoroughly enough. Iam creating a OpenVPN server, so i can simply connect to my machines, and would like to connect via VNC easily. using my tablet. | 16:33 |
| lordcirth | Roey, hard to tell, since we don't know why it broke | 16:34 |

| ioria | Anywhere, try to tweak it in BIOS (Navigate to "Main" and toggle the Touchpad from "Advanced" to "Basic or the contrary"); if not working try to install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 19:15 |
| gabmus[m] | Anywhere send over the output of `acpidump` | 19:16 |
| gabmus[m] | ioria synaptics is deprecated in favor of libinput. I don't think it's a problem with libinput but rather the kernel or the acpi table. I recently had in my hands a lenovo where the touchpad wasn't working because the bios didnt communicate the right address to the kernel or stuff like that. anyway, I solved it with a kernel command line argument | 19:18 |
| ioria | gabmus[m], probably ; you solved with 'i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop' ? | 19:18 |

| fleabeard | has anyone experienced their system fans and everything inside their PC spins up to MAX SPEED when restarting Ubuntu in a dual-boot environment? If it reboots with the fans kicked up, it just boots to a black screen and doesn't even show the BIOS output page. | 19:39 |
| fleabeard | it happens intermittently and powering off and on fixes it | 19:39 |
| leftyfb | fleabeard: that's a motherboard issue, not Ubuntu. (no BIOS POST) | 19:40 |
| fleabeard | leftyfb, strange, it only happens (sometimes) when I choose to "restart" my PC from linux. I've never had this problem in Windows ever. | 19:40 |
| fleabeard | although this is an old board, Gigabyte P55-UD3R with a first gen i7 cpu lol | 19:41 |
| OerHeks | fleabeard, bad would be fans not kicking in | 19:41 |
| leftyfb | fleabeard: are you sure it's rebooting completely or just trying to reboot and never actually reboots the computer, hence no POST. | 19:42 |
| leftyfb | fleabeard: if that is the case, then it might be due to Ubuntu not communicating with your power management properly | 19:43 |
| fleabeard | leftyfb, hard to tell really, I mean it does darken the screen and the PC does act as though it's starting up from a restart, but it's kinda hard to be certain | 19:43 |
| fleabeard | it's so intermittent too, I'll keep an eye on it in the future. It just happened too me again (that's twice today out of 4 reboots) so I should be able to reproduce it :) | 19:44 |
