Use the browser until the memory runs out, and will begin an intensive write in swap, somewhere at the level of filling swap 10 - 20% Ubuntu freezes [00:51] i use firefox [00:54] so you wonder why your system freezes while you open multiple firefox pages, not fast enough writing to disk and reading it, when you open *that* tab again .. [00:59] or fast reproduce the problem: start xubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu-mate with 1GB memory in virtual machine and start firefox, and open one or two tabs. [01:00] and start firefox, and open one or two tabs in virtual machine. host SATA2, disk 5400-7200rpm [01:01] quit [01:01] oops [01:05] start xubuntu or lubuntu or ubuntu-mate [01:06] 1 Gb is below specs.

[01:17] does not arrange variant with the virtual machine it is possible to buy the motherboard with SATA2 and HDD 5400, 7200 rpm, use 16 GB memory -> and use the browser until the memory runs out next use with the paging file. Checking with ssd, with sata3 it is not correct check. [01:21] i have 4 gb [01:24] i have ssd and swap partition on ssd, OS on HDD 7200 rpm, SSD not help.

[02:51] Good [02:52] yvyz: it is an old dell 910 mini inspiron netbook. so it is not fast, this will take a bit. [02:52] ok [02:58] yvyz: thanks, it is still running the update, but they are actually at the desktop, so things are looking good. once done, I will have them roboot. [02:58] Great to hear [03:10] yvyz: Thanks again it is 100% [03:11] Np. Glad it works! [03:29] I've got two *nix machines (one ubuntu, one raspbian) running as servers. If I set a mailserver up on just one of them, can the other be configured to use the first for handling it's mail, or do I have to set up mail services on both? [03:35] Do you intend for one of those machines to handle email as a public exchange? [03:35] As in, do you intend on configuring an MX record for your domain.com to point to your mailserver? [03:36] yvyz: no, it's internal, lan only [03:36] I wouldn't even be able to reach it while away from home [03:36] If not, you can configure an exchange to simply be an SMTP exchange that all machines use for email. [03:37] It depends on what you want to do to, manage multiple mailboxes? [03:37] Might be easier to explain my relevent topology, and what I want it to do... [03:39] Yea shoot. But I am assuming its for managing log and error notifications? [03:40] Exactly, with root+1 users on each server, I want all system generated log and error notifications to be redirected to my user mailbox on my *nix workstation [03:42] (plus whatever users are created by the various services of course, but only root+1 have login ability) [03:44] ok [03:45] Well, theres a couple of ways you could achieve this. [03:46] Depending on how you want to review the emails from your workstation. [03:47] 1) You could configure one of your machines to be a simple postfix SMTP relay, and configure all your notifying machines to use that relay with something like -> mail -s "Subject" your@actualemail.com [03:48] 2) You could configure that machine with postfix and something like dovecot + cubes to provide individual mailboxes. Your machines would then both USE and SEND emails TOO that machines like -> mail -s "Subject" mailboxname@ip. You could then log into that account from some webinterface, or setup your workstations mail client for IMAP/POP [03:50] 3) You could simple configure postfix with accounts on your local workstation (assuming linux) and use your workstation as the SMTP relay / exchange. In which case you could easily just -> mutt <- to access your mailboxes. [03:51] i can't login in desktop interface , when i enter the right name and password , then it return back, but i use command login then use startx command line , it can enter desktop [03:52] Is there a way I can use mutt, while having postfix actually reside on one of the servers? [03:52] whoareU: In the login prompt, are you able to select a desktop session? (gnome) [03:52] nightshift: Yes. [03:52] nightshift: You can configure mutt for IMAP/POP as you would any other mail client. [03:53] nightshift: What you want is a real SMTP server. Not just a relay. So you can keep the services separate and the interaction simpler for your machines. That is if you do want to run a local exchange. [03:54] Then you can log in to that machine with a mail client from anywhere on your network that you allow. [03:54] yvyz: i can't select session , [03:54] yvys: yes, a real server, so, postfix plus dovecot? [03:55] nightshift: Postfix + dovecot is a fairly straightforward solution. There are a ton of examples and walkthroughs for them. [03:55] yvyz: i reinstall ubuntu-desktop , it still doesn't work [03:55] Thank you yvyz, I can find those. [03:56] nightshift: np [03:58] whoareU: run -> uname -a | nc termbin.com 9999 [03:58] And paste the link [04:02] when did ubuntu start rolling out the packages with ubuntu-restricted-addons [04:03] 18.10 is prodigious [04:03] whoareU: ?

"sudo apt-get autoremove virtualbox-dkms" then "sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` dkms virtualbox-dkms" then then manually enable the kernel drivers via modprobe with "sudo modprobe vboxdrv && sudo modprobe vboxnetflt" [11:28] I suggest you attempt the latter first, and if that does not succeed to try and install directly from the oracle package I listed above.

Thanks! [11:49] Awesome! [11:49] NP man. [11:49] Its the ubuntu version of "turning it off, and on again" [11:54] lol [11:54] Howdy all [11:54] o/ [12:24] Hello. I have mistakenly deleted all the Windows partitions during Lubuntu 18.10 installation. Then I started reinstalling Lubuntu with a Live USB by 1) booting in UEFI mode, 2) Creating a new GPT partition table, 3) Creating a 200 mb partition at /boot/efi with the flag "esp", 4) Creating swap space and other partitions. After the installation I am getting Boost.Python error in job "bootloader". Here is the screenshot https://pa [12:24] steboard.co/I3y7sHa.png [12:26] sazawal: If Windows is gone, just install with "use entire disk" option [12:26] sazawal, post the irl again , you split it [12:26] url [12:27] BluesKaj, Here https://pasteboard.co/I3y7sHa.png [12:28] jeremy31, But I want separate partitions for system files and personal files. What about the swap space? [12:29] sazawal: It should use a swap file and you can make a /home partition after installing [12:29] sazawal, best to use manual partitioning intead of auto [12:30] jeremy31, I could try this. [12:31] BluesKaj, I have used the manual partitioning only. So the partitions I made were 1) EFI 2) Swap 3) / for system files 4) /home/ for personal files. [12:32] sazawal, during the install? [12:32] sazawal: was the EFI partition using fat32 with esp and boot flag? [12:33] BluesKaj, Yes during the installation, or better to say prior to installation, the installer asks for it. [12:34] jeremy31, EFI was fat32 with esp flag and /boot/efi mountpoint [12:34] sazawal, ok [12:34] jeremy31, Do you mean I should put two flags there, boot and esp? [12:36] sazawal: what result from terminal for> mokutil --sb-state [12:36] BluesKaj, jeremy31, Also I created a GPT partition table before making partitions. I am not sure if MBR or GPT are the right ones for it. [12:37] jeremy31, On running this from Live USB, it says "This system doesn't support Secure Boot" [12:38] sazawal: can you find a /sys/firmware/efi directory? [12:38] yes i do [12:40] sazawal: any contents? anything in efivars subdirectory? [12:42] I'm trying to sort this issue with Gthumb out - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gthumb/issues/36 - but I'm being asked to 'install debug packages for glib2, gtk3 and gthumb'. What packages would those be in 18.04? [12:44] sazawal, then you might need to disable secure boot in the bios. Maybe it's set to legacy bios? [12:45] jeremy31, It has 3 subdirectories vars, runtime-map and efivars, and other files. The subdirectories also have contents. [12:46] sazawal: check BIOS settings to see if it is set to EFI only [12:46] BluesKaj, I didn't find secure boot option in the BIOS. And I have chosen "UEFI Only" in the boot choice out of "Legacy Only/UEFI Only/Both" [12:46] sazawal, ok [12:48] think jeremy31 has better handle on your situation than me, so I'll defer to his suggestions [12:49] BluesKaj, jeremy31 Another thing, when I was booting into the Live USB, after selecting the language, it was showing "1.55 no irq handler vectors" or something like that. But it booted into the Live USB anyway after that. [12:53] sazawal: Try an automatic install with no internet connection as this might be related to some 18.04 grub install issues that happened in July [12:54] jeremy31, I am trying it right away. [13:08] for caching debs, what setup is needed? on a home network? [13:16] pavlushka: explain your end goal please, you want to download debs locally? [13:18] lotuspsychje: like I have multiple debian system on my home network, for updating each, the same file needed to be downloaded over and over again, can any setup save the hassle? [13:19] pavlushka: here is the uubntu channel right [13:20] lotuspsychje: ok, my debians are all ubuntu variants, that satisfies :p (was generalizing a bit) [13:21] debian ubuntu variants lol, wish Os is that [13:22] lotuspsychje: ok, these are ubuntu-mate, lubuntu and ubuntu's [13:22] lotuspsychje: you can lol again [13:24] pavlushka: do you control all the computers over an ubuntu-server, that could be automated? [13:24] lotuspsychje: yes, there are some RPIs also [13:25] pavlushka: apt-cacher-ng is pretty commonly used for this, i imagine [13:25] lotuspsychje: I maintain those from my machine through ssh. [13:26] jeremy31, I got exactly the same error for auto partitioning. [13:29] sazawal: and without internet connection ? [13:29] SimonNL, Yes without internet. [13:29] sazawal, what error ? [13:30] ioria, here https://pasteboard.co/I3y7sHa.png [13:30] ducasse: nice, but what should be the best setup for that (in the network)? [13:30] I meant the diagram [13:31] sazawal, it's lubuntu ? [13:31] ioria, Yes [13:32] * pavlushka reading https://wiki.debian.org/AptCacherNg [13:32] sazawal, in the meanwhile , download lubu 18.04 [13:33] ioria, if you say so. But can't this be fixed in 18.10? [13:33] sazawal, idk, might be a calamere thing [13:33] *calamares [13:34] pavlushka: what do you mean diagram? just run it on a server the others have access to and point them to it [13:34] that is the installer? [13:35] yup [13:35] ducasse: yep, got it (I thought I had to hook it up to the router as NAS) [13:36] pavlushka: not necessary, aiui [13:37] ducasse: I got the "not necessary" part only, lol [13:38] sazawal, if the installation has finished, you can also try to re-boot the livecd, and reinstall grub [13:39] ioria, Yes it is finished with the error. I have never reinstalled grub, can you help me with this? [13:39] pavlushka: 'aiui' = 'as i understand it', if that's what you mean [13:40] exactly [13:40] sazawal, boot again the livecd in 'Try' mode [13:42] sazawal, the iso you used is 64-bit or 32 ? [13:42] ioria, it is 64-bit. now I am rebooting with the Live USB [13:43] ioria, Ok, I am ready with the Live USB. How do I fix the grub? [13:43] sazawal, sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:45] ioria, Temporary failure in name resolution. Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes. [13:45] sazawal, do you have connectivity ? [13:46] yes, let me connect. [13:48] ioria, Okay, now the same warning but it is trying to connect to termbin.com/tne8 [13:51] sazawal, sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt [13:51] ioria, The last command is still running. What should I do with that? [13:51] sazawal, ctrl+c [13:52] ok [13:52] ioria, Okay mounted, now? [13:52] sazawal, ls -R/mnt/sys/firmware/efi | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:52] sazawal, ls -R /mnt/sys/firmware/efi | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:53] gabmus[m]: just wanted to thank you and let you know your help evenually led to me being able to use the touchpad. This, and the post below it is what did it, together with a newer kernel https://forum.manjaro.org/t/all-issues-with-ryzen-2500u-rx560x-acer-nitro-5-an515-42/59156/103 [13:54] ioria, /mnt/sys/firmware/efi': no such file or directory [13:54] sazawal, ok, uname -r ? you can paste here [13:55] ioria, 4.18.0-10-generic [13:55] sazawal, and this ? ls -R /sys/firmware/efi you got output ? [13:56] ioria, yes a long list, of files? [13:57] sazawal, ok; for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done [13:58] ioria, okay done. [13:59] sazawal, sudo chroot /mnt [13:59] ioria, okay done [13:59] sazawal, mount -a [13:59] ioria, okay done [14:00] sazawal, grub-install && update-grub [14:02] ioria, Installing for blabla platform. Could not prepare boot variable: No such file or directory. grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error. [14:02] I think /dev/sda1 has to be mounted as /mnt/boot/efi [14:03] jeremy31, mount -a should have done the job .... [14:04]
