[00:53] sudo youtube-dl -U # youtube-dl: error: youtube-dl's self-update mechanism is disabled on Debian. [00:53] 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] murthy: i cannot predict how the maintainer or bug trager will handle your reports. [00:54] Talen: which installation method / installer are you using? [00:55] I downloaded the alternative installer [00:55] the default one wouldn't allow boot off raid 1 [00:55] alternative server installer, 18.04.2 amd64? [00:56] yes [00:58] 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? [00:59] if you put those efi system partitions on RAID-1, you're doing it wrong. [00:59] they need to be read-/writable by the firmware. [00:59] Yes, then selected "Use as" efi system (that's what the tutorial said) [01:00] the one and only tutorial? [01:00] I tried just setting them raid reserved as well and setup raid 1 [01:00] I tried like 6 [01:00] lol [01:00] they were all different [01:00] I've set 512MB as raid reserved then set it to /boot, and system partition uefi [01:00] ESP must be a partition on the first disk the firmware gets to see. [01:01] I chose first and beginning [01:01] Should I set them as raid reserved then setup raid 1 on it? There are a few tutorials and all do it differently [01:02] 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. [01:04] bug 1817066 discusses some of this [01:04] bug 1817066 in subiquity "support ESP on raid" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1817066 [01:05] /boot can be on raid-1, that'S okay, just not the ESP [01:06] so 512m on each disk set to "raid member" then make it raid 1 and /boot? [01:06] then other partition raid 1 for /? [01:07] I believe I tried that and it kept taking me back to partitioner when trying to go past it [01:13] 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. [01:14] 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). [01:15] is there some other techique to switching apps than bring up app-switcher and cycle/navigate through the available apps? [01:15] 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] i mean could i assign hotkeys to certain window? Can i search for apps? Can I label windows and search for labels? [01:15] Squarism: I always use Alt-Tab myself [01:16] There are configurable keyboard shortcuts for workplace switching, too, so you can switch between entire sets of windows with a keypress [01:16] 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 [01:17] 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] Specifically scroll down the list of shortcuts to the "Windows" section at the end for all the window-switching shortcuts [01:17] I found them. [01:17] Cheers! [01:17] Oops! Actually, the Navigation section is what you want. It's about halfway down. [01:18] Fact is, I haven't used the activity view to switch between windows YET. :P [01:19] 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. [01:24] Talen: sorry, part of what i wrote is wrong, you don't have to use a GPT partition table, msdos will also work. [01:25] I wiped all the partitions in the ubuntu partitioner, not sure what it uses I assume GPT? [01:25] was doing all partitioning through the alternative installer [01:26] how do i disable the touchscreen keyboard' [01:26] ubuntu 18 [01:27] 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] 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] Would you agree linux desktop isnt innovating much? [01:27] !ot | Squarism [01:27] Squarism: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:27] I have 2 256G SSD and 15 4TB [01:27] ops [01:27] i'm trying to raid 1 the ssd, and leave the 4tb for zfs [01:34] 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] 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). [01:37] 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). === daniel is now known as Guest4458 [01:48] 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. [01:53] !17.10 | royal_screwup21 [01:53] 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 [01:54] just tried to run 0ad from a snap [01:54] got this error, 0ad [01:54] execv failed: No such file or directory [01:54] any ideas? [01:54] aurolac: talk to the package maintainer [01:56] so its not a snap issue? [01:56] Does Ubuntu 16.04's file manager know how to mount LVM volumes? [01:56] vel [01:57] 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] aurolac: note there are two separate 0 A.D. snaps available, one of which provides multiple channels. [02:00] 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 [02:02] tomreyn: The partition with the LVM is an XFS file system. [02:03] 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] calher: hmm, so you tried and it didn't work? [02:03] i didn't know until few seconds ago support for that version had ended [02:04] tomreyn: I asked here to see if it's worth rebooting into my Ubuntu live USB and trying it. [02:04] My system's messed up and I'm using someone else's computer to get to my disk. [02:04] royal_screwup21: Definitely try 18.04 (LTS) or 18.10. I'll bet the brightness will be working there [02:05] If not, come on back! [02:05] 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] OK, going downstairs to get my USB. [02:06] calher: why not go for the latest LTS release instead, Ubuntu 18.04 ? [02:07] tomreyn: All our computers are stuck on 16.04 until we can migrate everything. I use the 16.04 live USB for testing purposes. [02:09] 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] calher: be sure to use the latest 16.04 live/installer iso for testing, released today. [02:10] Yeah, we're working on it. It should be ready in a few months. [02:10] tomreyn: Link?

I've been doing that, but I don't know for sure if the "wear and tear" from background has actually affected performance [02:19] i made a bootalbe usb of install image, i can us the iso in virtualbox, but i can't boot it from my pc , what matters [02:22] whoareU: what happens when you try to boot it on your real computer?

[02:49] calher: If you right click on the torrent in Transmission, click Properties, and go to Trackers, is torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 on there? [02:49] Hello. I believe to have discovered bug in getnameinfo(3). How/where would I report such a bug? [02:51] CodeMouse92: Yes. [02:51] Okay, so you're on the right tracker, then. Hm, dunno. [02:53] 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. [02:54] calher: You can test your net speed with http://speedtest.net/ [02:54] 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] tomreyn: The getnameinfo manpage says "Since glibc 2.22", so I suppose it belongs to package libc6? [02:55] tomreyn: It's speeding up now. [02:56] 168 kB/s now [02:57] Aleric: you are jumping to conclusions. does this tell you which packages this man page beloings to? dpkg -S getnameinfo [02:57] *packagE [03:01] tomreyn: No, that just lists the package names of the man pages for that function. It is implemented in libc though... [03:02] >readelf -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep getnameinfo [03:02] 931: 000000000013e360 1551 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 13 getnameinfo@@GLIBC_2.2.5 [03:03] 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" [03:04] Aleric: if you instead want to file a bug against the actual "getnameinfo()" function, this is part of linux. [03:05] 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] so the linux kernel. "ubuntu-bug linux", upstream bug tracker is https://bugzilla.kernel.org [03:06] yeah no... it's not part of the linux kernel :p [03:08] I think I am sick of Nvidia and its failures. Took me 2 hours to fix apt after attempting to install nvidia-309 through Software and Updates. And it still didnt take until I had to loop -f install and update over and over again.

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...

Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:10] ^ yvyz [03:10] 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. [03:11] Oh great, ubuntu core on an rpi. [03:11] please stay on topic [03:11] But I cannot easily install one of the most basic of drivers [03:11] Ubuntu works fine on my ten year old ThinkPad. Suspend/resume, everything's great. [03:11] Thats pretty on topic as its a common ubuntu/debian issue esp after the systemd change [03:11] But thanks for the input tomreyn [03:12] yvyz: *this* channel is only for ubuntu support Q&A, not for sharing experiences or opinions. there are other channels. [03:12] I see you are the Zues of these lands. [03:13] Hey guys, anybody ever have problems installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu 18.04? [03:13] nor for polls [03:13] yvyz, this is not a chat or poll channel, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting/polling.. [03:14] 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? [03:15] 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] !details [03:15] 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. [03:16] yvyz: I too have no issues with nvidia drivers in 18.04. What is broke in your system ? [03:17] 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] I should say I am running two video cards. One Quadro 2000 (nvidia-304) and a 1050 Ti (nvidia-309) [03:18] 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. [03:19] 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] 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. [03:20] Somehow I got things cleared up after using LC_MESSAGE=C and dpkg to remove all of the packages. [03:20] 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. [03:21] 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] 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] Any idea what could be happening? [03:22] yvyz: i suggest you report a bug if ubuntu-drivers doesn't work as expected (search for existing bug reports first).

[03:31] Which fixed apt [03:31] But now I am unable to install the 340 drivers and have them take. [03:32] 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] now you're discussing different packages [03:32] !info nvidia-drivers-340 bionic [03:32] Package nvidia-drivers-340 does not exist in bionic [03:32] tomreyn: i said that i got 390 to work. [03:32] And that I am battling with 304 drivers [03:32] 21:21:40 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 [03:33] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YzkRZDcMdV/ <- ubuntu-drivers devices [03:33] !info nvidia-340 [03:33] nvidia-340 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340): NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.107.

[03:34] I done just that. Which is what software and drivers does. [03:34] But I cannot get them to take [03:35] 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] 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: version 304 is end of life - 2017:http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142/~/support-timeframes-for-unix-legacy-gpu-releases. [03:35] tomreyn: very possible. I am not trying to be a dick here. [03:36] I saw that as well. But I should still be able to load them ya? [03:36] Or maybe the latest kernels break them completely? [03:36] Which I guess would make sense [03:36] * tomreyn bbl [03:49] instead of hostname, I want to harcode another name: PS1="${bold_blue}[$(hostname)${normal} \w${normal} ${bold_white}[$(git_prompt_info)]${normal}» " how do I do that? [03:49] silly question - just want to get this right. I have a user on my server that needs a script located in their home directory to start on boot, and run/work as that user of course (not root) so they can manage / kill it after boot if they want - server is on 18.04 -> what's my method to get this working? [03:50] make a .service file for it? [03:50] ^ [03:52] In the exec command field just "setuid $userid$" [03:52] Then they will have full control over it and it will run on boot. [03:53] https://askubuntu.com/questions/676007/how-do-i-make-my-systemd-service-run-via-specific-user-and-start-on-boot [03:54] And I guess its a little out of standard but you can point the service to Exec /home/username/file [04:02] hi [04:02] I need help with my backups [04:02] https://pastebin.com/KhkVGyLz [04:03] JFox762: What do you need help with? [04:03] Looking. [04:07] calher: thanks [04:15] evening all just wondering if anyone else is having issues with ubuntu repos ? getting can not connect to network but i am on here chatting with you guys on the same computer that is having the issue [04:17] qwebirc27864: what does: env | grep -i proxy [04:17] say? [04:17] JFox762: Hm, encryption stuff. Don't know. [04:18] if your asking me zero output nothing just went back to prompt [04:19] Ok [04:20] yvyz: should it have responded? [04:20] calher: darn :( thanks though [04:21] qwebirc27864: Sometimes there are proxy settings (http_proxy and https_proxy) that would prevent apt from reaching source urls. [04:22] qwebirc27864: run: sudo apt-get install *YOURPACKAGE* | nc termbin.com 9999 [04:22] and paste the link it produces [04:22] fresh install :: for security repo 503 Service Unavailable [IP: 91.189.88.152 80] :: for InRelease 503 Service Unavailable [IP: 91.189.91.26 80] [04:23] https://termbin.com/0smd [04:24] Ugh, termbin breaks with multiline apt responses. Ok [04:24] Can you ping those ip's? [04:25] i get a apache2 test page for one and ubuntu security notices for the other [04:25] calher: a web search brings up https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/218882 where further steps are suggested [04:25] qwebirc27864: are you behind a school or work network? [04:25] nope home [04:25] qwebirc27864: I mean the command: ping 91.189.88.152 [04:26] If so, your sources.list might be pointing to dead repositories. [04:27] 22 packets transmitted, 21 received, 4% packet loss, [04:27] ctrl c caused the 4% [04:28] When you run apt-get update, do some of the repos work and some others do not? [04:28] they all connect [04:28] correct [04:28] What is the command you are running that gives you the errors? [04:29] ok timing was bad there ping the ips resolve to a connection [04:29] Sweet [04:29] anyone else know ? [04:29] about how to fix this backup error? [04:29] https://pastebin.com/KhkVGyLz [04:30] JFox762: a web search brings up https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/218882 where further steps are suggested [04:30] but running apt update causes failures apt-get and synaptic aswell [04:30] and sorry calher, this wasnt for you [04:31] qwebirc27864: can you paste the entire output of sudo apt-get update to -> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ [04:31] how do i run that program with maximum verbosity? [04:32] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/tDGyrB4g6X/ [04:32] JFox762: duplicity -v9 [04:33] qwebirc27864: ping security.ubuntu.com [04:35] I am just making sure things are resolving first before we do other stuff. [04:35] brb gotta help my kid https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/VBrMJZWcdy/ [04:35] and thank you [04:38] back sorry monsters under the bed [04:39] qwebirc27864: lol [04:39] yvyz: how do i run that when using the gui backup? [04:41] 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] time at the end of updates instead of throughout the entire process multiple times.................????? [04:44] JFox762: duplicity verify -v9 /path/to/backup/location /foldertobebackedup [04:44] qwebirc27864: 503 errors are generally due to proxy configurations on a host or network. [04:44] SudoBash: most likely so if one fails you know which one it is with a miniamal amout of back tracking [04:46] Ahhh that can be taken care of with proper coding... [04:46] qwebirc27864: env | grep proxy :: does this show nothing [04:48] yvyz: glitch@glitch-bad-wolf:~$ env | grep -i proxy glitch@glitch-bad-wolf:~$ [04:48] 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 [04:49] yvyz: just goes straight back ot the prompt [04:49] SudoBash: please note this channel is really just for support Q&A. you could join #ubuntu-discuss to discuss ubuntu, or #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics [04:50] oh lord the nazi's are still here [04:50] yvyz: think an install from a failing usb key could cause this issue [04:50] i dno not appreciate this insult. [04:50] qwebirc27864: Open "Software and Updates" and select a different server in the "Download From: " drop down menu [04:51] Hey, you're the ones ruining Linux so whatever.......... [04:51] ^ [04:51] lol [04:51] wow [04:51] <- 16 programming languages [04:51] SudoBash: stop that please [04:52] qwebirc27864: its possible, but highly improbable that your install is corrupted in just the right away to not allow apt to connect [04:52] qwebirc27864: you may try another sources server download location in Software & Updates. And if that does not work, look for a "proxy" file within /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ [04:53] I mean I have to install a clone of Gnome 2 just to have a workable desktop now days.... [04:53] !ot | SudoBash [04:53] SudoBash: #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! [04:53] yvyz: it could be qwebirc27864's ISP, too. this happened occasionally lately. [04:54] SudoBash: You may want to take kernel update method issues up with Linus directly. Not here. [04:54] You had that in your queue ready didn't you? [04:54] tomreyn: I was thinking that, but he is able to reach all servers giving issues within apt through ping ip and ping name.name [04:54] SudoBash: if you dont have an ubuntu question, please dont use this channel we have other channels for chitchat [04:55] yvyz: no suitable download server was found.... [04:55] lotuspsychje: some people just come here to push your nazi buttons..... [04:55] is there a way to get a list of all installed packages with size ? [04:55] !ops | SudoBash seems not understand offtopic [04:55] SudoBash seems not understand offtopic: Help! Channel emergency!

[04:56] yvyz: icmp traffdic may be handled differently than tcp / http. and even if not so, who says those (theoretical, so far) ISP proxies don't just respond to ping as wlel? [04:56] LoL what a nazi prat [04:56] Deihmos: sudo apt list --installed [04:57]
