[00:02] <Hulio> i can never install AMD Pro, and once if i do, boot up with blank screen
[00:02] <Hulio> stupid shit
[00:03] <Hulio> why it is so complicated just to get the AMD graphic drivers to work in ubuntu
[00:18] <Bashing-om> Humbedooh: What card ? what release .. and why the -PRO overlay ? Be aware that AMD provides the correct driver in the kernel; "should" not be any issue there.
[00:19] <tgm4883> Bashing-om: he left, pretty much as soon as he said that, which was right after he joined
[00:19] <Bashing-om> Humbedooh: Ouch - sorry bad highlight; hulio left :(
[00:19] <tgm4883> he never wanted any help
[00:20] <Bashing-om> tgm4883: Drive by shooters :(
[00:22] <Humbedooh> no worries :)
[00:38] <coogle> Hello all -- can someone help me with something I am sure is relatively stupid that I can't figure out?
[00:38] <coogle> I have a program that is trying to open port 19132 and 19133
[00:38] <coogle> I don't want this program to run as root
[00:38] <coogle> When I try to run it as a normal user I am getting the error: "Network port occupied, can't start server."
[00:38] <coogle> But if I sudo it, it works fine
[00:39] <coogle> This is on a brand new installation of Ubuntu 18
[00:42] <coogle> Anyone have any idea why I can't seem to make 19132 and 19133 open as a non-root user but I can as root?
[00:42] <coogle> (ipv4 and v6)
[00:53] <luis_> hola hablando en espanol
[01:45] <dsprado> Using Lubuntu 14.04, all of a sudden i had graphical problems, display got extremely weird with all kinds of symbols and stuff, i am now in recovery mode and it seems ok, but won't work in normal mode, help please
[01:46] <dsprado> I did all updates and checked for broken packages (there are none)
[01:50] <dsprado> What happened was first the screen got black and i got the message no signal, then i forced shutdown (was the only thing that worked), then i got all those weird broken screens full with symbols, i can only get it to work in recovery mode
[01:55] <vashy> hi, I'm on 18.04 with 2 monitors; on my 'main' display, whenever a window is full screened, the window gets a menu bar at the top
[01:55] <guiverc> dsprado, forced shutdown via power switch of sysreq-REISUB  (ie. force clean shutdown) - I'd suggest booting a live media (eg. Lubuntu install media) & `fsck` your drive to ensure no issues  (fs issues are easier fixed when not in use)
[01:55] <vashy> but my secondary monitor doesn't have it, is there a way to remove it from my primary one?
[01:58] <dsprado> guiverc: thanx. i forced shutdown with the button. i dont have live media now, what do you suggest? (i am a beginner)
[01:58] <dsprado> guiverc: what is the exact command i need to type in the terminal?
[02:00] <dsprado> guiverc: is it a big problem or not? (i am kind of worried...)
[02:01] <guiverc> dsprado, fyi:  in future rather than power-off (which can introduce logic errors to your file-system causing `fsck` or file-system-checks on next boot, the keystrokes sysreq-reisub are much safer; easiest to use another device to scan for keystrokes & look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key for reminders etc)
[02:02] <dsprado> guiverc: but the screen became black (with no signal message) BEFORE i forced shutdown
[02:03] <guiverc> dsprado, if it were me; I've `wget` (download) live media, then `dd` (write) to thumb-drive & use that - that only requires terminal.. but it's not newbie friendly so let me think..  (you don't need screen to use the keystrokes, I'd have switched to text term first (ctrl+alt+f4 to confirm it wasn't just a gui issue... again not newbie friendly things0
[02:03] <dsprado> guiverc: i tried to move the mouse, press buttons on the keyboard, but nothing happened... (i didn't press sysreq, didn't know about that)
[02:05] <dsprado> guiverc: does the fact that everything works in recovery mode suggest that i shouldn't worry too much (i mean it's no big deal)
[02:06] <dsprado> guiverc: is there any newbie friendly solution?
[02:06] <guiverc> dsprado, I suspect you're fine... myself I'm booting up up recovery-mode to confirm it's what I think of as single-user mode that I use ...
[02:07] <dsprado> guiverc: ok good, i feel better now that you said that...
[02:07] <Bashing-om> dsprado: In the recovery menu is "fsck"; might see if there is a file system issue reported with this tool. However for a deeper look will take as guiverc advises - a liveDVD/USB.
[02:08] <dsprado> i am not sure how to do what you say
[02:09] <dsprado> to get to the recovery menu i need to restart the computer?
[02:10] <dsprado> and how do i do this fsck thing?
[02:10] <Bashing-om> dsprado: Yes, reboot to grub -> recovery kernel, and will see the "fsck" option in the resulting menu.
[02:11] <dsprado> and then will it ask for other questions?
[02:12] <dsprado> also how do i get grub to appear, it only does sometimes...
[02:12] <Bashing-om> dsprado: fsck == File System ChecK. Will do a auto/simple check and will advise if a need exist to go deeper.
[02:12] <dsprado> it says f2 for setup, but that's not grub right
[02:14] <dsprado> to get to recovery mode i keep on rebooting until it shows me grub, but i thought maybe there is some key i can press to make it appear
[02:14] <Bashing-om> de-facto: If thgis is a legacy (older) system then as soon a the bios screen clears depress and hold a shift key; for EFI (newer) spam the escape key.
[02:14] <dsprado> ok so shift key...
[02:15] <dsprado> how long does fsck take? will you still be here?
[02:15] <ewzimm> cd /var/www
[02:15] <ewzimm> ls
[02:16] <dsprado> so fsck is just a check, it will not fix anything?
[02:17] <Hulio> hi is anyone kindly help me out...i will never able to install my AMD Vega 56 , in ubuntu..

[02:19] <Hulio> hello
[02:20] <Hulio> i'm so impatient, and very stress for many days of trying to find out why i can't get AMD Vega 56 to work in ubuntu
[02:21] <Hulio> anyone?
[02:21] <guiverc> Hulio, please try & put your information in a single line, and be patient.   If someone can help you they will, but what Ubuntu are you using; I'm aware of a Ubuntu-Pro (i forget it's name) but it's not an official Ubuntu product & off-topic here.
[02:22] <Hulio> I have issue with install ./amdgpu-pro install -y
[02:22] <Hulio> it does install fine, but nothing seem to work
[02:23] <Hulio> AMD OpenCL platform not found
[02:23] <Hulio> what the heck.
[02:24] <Bashing-om> de-facto: I will be around for a bit yet ,, else others are here :)

[03:34] <programmerq> On my home network, my hosts are made available as short hostnames. For example, if my pc is called 'sprinkles' then I can resolve its local address by doing 'dig sprinkles. @192.168.1.1'
[03:34] <programmerq> On my ubuntu 18.04 box, systemd-resolved is being used, and 'dig sprinkles. @127.0.0.53' doesn't return the same result as my router would.
[03:35] <programmerq> is there a resolved.conf setting that will allow short names like that to be passed along?
[03:40] <programmerq> hmmm, this answer seems to suggest that switching away from systemd-resolved is the way to go: https://askubuntu.com/questions/898605/how-to-disable-systemd-resolved-and-resolve-dns-with-dnsmasq/911432#911432
[04:30] <CarlFK> I'm trying to write systemd scritp that logs "hello systemd"
[04:31] <vader> Hi there. I am using ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Upon initially installing the OS I enabled the option to login without entering the password, and it worked for ages but suddenly stopped  - instead I get a login screen now where I have to click on my username first then enter my password. Although my custom.conf and the gui settings both say autologin, they are being ignored... please help
[04:31] <CarlFK> anyone know how, or a tutorial on how to write your first systemd thing ?
[04:33] <popnfloss> why is my default audio device being changed every time i reboot
[04:34] <popnfloss> i asked for help with this a couple days ago and someone's "solution" was to write a startup script to set it via the commandline
[04:35] <popnfloss> and i tersely explained to them that this is not a solution, this is a hack that doesn't fix the underlying issue
[04:35] <popnfloss> and then they became quite defensive and insulting and that was the end of the discussion
[04:35] <popnfloss> so i'm giving it another go now and hopefully this channel will be useful this time
[04:35] <popnfloss> how do i make ubuntu save my pulseaudio settings
[04:37] <th0r> popnfloss, just a thought. Check the permissions on ~/.config/pulse and make sure you have write permission for the folder and the files in it.
[04:47] <onizu> rfm: hey, It works now.. after I restarted the machines..
[04:57] <cpplearner> Guys, I've been suffering this weird behavior. When I do some specific changes to a file, e.g., remuxing video files with ffmpeg or striping id3v2 tags with id3v2, I couldn't get the immediate changes on the file. I tried 'sync', but when I check the file right after it, e.g., checking if tags are properly written or remuxed file is playable, the changes are not applied. Only after I wait few seconds
[04:57] <cpplearner> (5~10), I see the changes... What could be the problem? I'm using 18.04.2.
[04:58] <cpplearner> I tested it in both unraided SSD, and raided HDD, and the problem stilll persists.
[05:03] <guiverc> cpplearner, i don't know, but maybe whatever program you're seeing this behavior in does its own caching & isn't noticing the changes done at system level (thought only)
[05:22] <cpplearner> guiverc: Thanks for replying. I'll investigate further. =)
[05:57] <surajjagtap_> static ip lost after reboot
[06:02] <popnfloss> still having the pulseaudio forgetting my default audio device after every reboot
[06:03] <popnfloss> ive googled, ive asked, i guess i'm the only person on the face of the earth that has this problem
[06:03] <popnfloss> never happens in fedora, only ubuntu
[06:06] <popnfloss> im having all sorts of other problems as well
[06:06] <popnfloss> monitor turns off and on like 4 times just booting up ubuntu
[06:06] <popnfloss> plymouth doesnt work half the time
[06:06] <popnfloss> and this is all on LTS
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> popnfloss: pastebin: sudo lshw -C sound && uname -a && lsb_release -a please
[06:07] <popnfloss> the horrible disappearing overlay scrollbars can't be disabled now, at all
[06:08] <popnfloss> not even with the GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING variable
[06:13] <popnfloss> cant do it right now entire system is locking up because i tried powering off a virtual machine
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> popnfloss: did you read what i just asked?
[06:33] <popnfloss> garbage distro
[06:39] <k_sze[work]> I ran `useradd -s /bin/bash -U -G sudo -m -p $password_hash my_user` in a script, I see the correct hash in /etc/shadow, `id my_user` also shows the user in the correct group, I can `su` as my_user from the root account. But I can't `login` as my_user with a password. What could be wrong?
[06:41] <k_sze[work]> My password has was generated using Python3's crypt.crypt() function, with auto-generated salt. The returned hash is in the format "$6$.....$", which means sha152 with a salt, which should be correct, right?
[06:52] <volkan> hi member
[06:53] <volkan> im new user
[06:54] <brokenfunction> volkan: hello
[06:56] <volkan> how install obs
[07:00] <guiverc> volkan, I don't know OBS (other than by name), but obs-server is a package (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=obs&searchon=names&suite=cosmic&section=all) and many sites detail it, eg. https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/running-obs-on-ubuntu.68685/
[07:00] <mouses> he probably means this
[07:00] <brokenfunction> volkan: sudo apt install obs-studio
[07:00] <mouses> open broastcast studio
[07:00] <mouses> ^^ this
[07:01] <guiverc> thanks mouses, this may be more useful (even if old) https://askubuntu.com/questions/993666/how-do-i-install-obs-on-ubuntu
[07:01] <volkan> thanks all
[07:01] <mouses> <3 obs-studio -> super useful software
[07:27] <woooo> Does anyone know if bluez supports handsfree mode on ubuntu 18.04?
[07:30] <NginUS> Anyone know of a thing to protect long-running scripts from accidental; logoff/reboot? Found 'molly-guard' but its not quite right
[07:49] <lkh> NginUS: how about screen? though that wouldn't save you from a reboot
[07:50] <NginUS> lkh: Thanks nonetheless
[08:46] <ppf> how's today for any help with my chrome audio problem? :)
[08:46] <ppf> to recap: chome and FF have no access to he mic. it's _not_ a permission issue. the mic works in games or mumble, which appear in pavucontrol as Recording; chrome and ff  do not
[08:47] <ppf> i'm out of ideas what to try
[08:52] <MonsieurBon> Hi blackflow
[08:53] <MonsieurBon> blackflow, I was able to resolve my problem with FF (and Webstorm :-) ) not starting
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> MonsieurBon: join #ubuntu-discuss and leave blackflow a message there
[08:55] <MonsieurBon> lotuspsychje, ok, I'll do that. What's the difference to this channel?
[08:56] <lotuspsychje> MonsieurBon: here is the support channel, harder to scroll when active
[08:57] <NginUS> My script is failing: https://sebsauvage.net/paste/?951b3c8ffc5f8455#FzKMKSxcGJnIFNfXfaZHMhV6rIosnh1Rf/j37BRmhg4=
[08:58] <NginUS> I don't know why.
[09:37] <Tankburn> how do I use a command to move all files from all the subdirectories and put them all together in the parent folder?
[09:38] <Tankburn> they are all sub directories directly under the parent folder
[09:43] <Ool> Tankburn: in the file manager, perhaps you can look for all files, select them, and move them
[09:43] <ledeni> ppf can you run in terminal 'pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1' and restart ff
[09:49] <acetakwas> How do I block all HTTP calls to a specific domain?
[09:50] <Tankburn> found it
[09:52] <Tankburn> find <parent dir> -type f -exec mv -t <parent dir> {} +
[09:52] <Tankburn> seemed to work
[09:52] <vlt> acetakwas: If you know an IP range you can create an iptables rule to block *all* packets going there. (No idea how to determine whether it's HTTP.)
[09:54] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[09:56] <marcoagpinto> guys?!
[09:57] <marcoagpinto> why can't Ubuntu booting show the same logotype as when shutting down?
[09:57] <marcoagpinto> on boot it shows "Ubuntu 18.04" in text which is ugly
[10:00] <guiverc> marcoagpinto, are you talking about plymouth screen?  if so change it to another one  (https://askubuntu.com/questions/2007/how-do-i-change-the-plymouth-bootscreen)
[10:05] <marcoagpinto> guiverc: let me check the URL
[10:07] <marcoagpinto> guiverc: it sounds like that, but it come as default?
[10:07] <marcoagpinto> :)
[10:07] <acetakwas> vlt: Could you show an example? I only know the domain name.
[10:07] <marcoagpinto> for Ubuntu 19.10 since .04 is going to be released next month?
[10:07] <marcoagpinto> it come=could it come
[10:09] <ledeni> marcoagpinto: do you dual booting
[10:10] <marcoagpinto> ledeni: Ubuntu is in a VM
[10:10] <marcoagpinto> I am a Windows 10 user
[10:16] <ledeni> marcoagpinto: probably there is problem why you got grub on boot and not plymouth boot screen
[10:16] <vlt> acetakwas: You can tell iptables to resolve the domain name into an IP address when *creating* the filter rule.
[10:16] <marcoagpinto> ledeni: I have no GRUB
[10:16] <vlt> acetakwas: But be aware that addresses might change (quickly) or there might be multiple addresses for one server.
[10:17] <marcoagpinto> I was commenting that while booting "loading" Ubuntu it has no logo. It shows in text "Ubuntu 18.04" and below the balls animation
[10:17] <marcoagpinto> it could use some design
[10:20] <vlt> acetakwas: Example: iptables --append OUTPUT --destination <IP-ADDRESS> --jump DROP
[10:25] <ledeni> marcoagpinto:  run in terminal 'apt list --installed | grep 'grub' | nc termbin.com 9999'
[10:26] <marcoagpinto> ledeni: my VMs are in the other machine
[10:26] <marcoagpinto> :)
[10:27] <marcoagpinto> this one doesn't support hardware virtualisation since it is over 10 years old
[10:40] <Exterminador> hello guys. when i start my xubuntu, I'm getting a dialog box with"System program problem detected". my dmesg output: https://termbin.com/qo48 and my syslog output https://termbin.com/zn8s ; any hints?
[10:42] <Apachez> Exterminador: why are you running ptrace?
[10:43] <Apachez> also reboot
[10:43] <Apachez> and then take a dump
[10:43] <Apachez> not like hours later
[10:43] <Exterminador> it was just booted, fyi
[10:43] <Exterminador> i mean, i logged in now
[10:45] <Exterminador> that's when the error appeared. also the ptrace seems to have something about the snap?
[10:47] <ledeni> Exterminador:  can you give us  'ls /var/crash | nc termbin.com 9999'
[10:47] <Exterminador> https://termbin.com/lc6sw > ls /var/crash
[10:50] <ledeni> Exterminador: 'sudo rm /var/crash/*'
[10:50] <Exterminador> ledeni: done
[10:51] <ledeni> Exterminador:  reboot and see if you got message again
[10:51] <Exterminador> alright. ill do it now
[10:56] <Exterminador> ledeni: no more errors
[10:57] <ledeni> 👍
[10:57] <Ridley5> hi all
[10:58] <Exterminador> so, it was the old crashes that were throwing the errors?
[10:58] <Ridley5>  is it possible to create a hotspot using two wifi adapters one internal and one external?
[10:58] <Ridley5> using the first wifi adapter to connect to another hotspot that has internet, and the second to make a hotspot and share that internet?
[10:59] <Ridley5> i'm using XUbuntu 18.04 LTS
[11:00] <ledeni> Exterminador: probably _sbin_plymouthd.0.crash
[11:03] <Exterminador> now, stupid question of the day: I've been kinda struggling with this for some time now. what's the proper font to install in Xubuntu to have emojis displayed in browsers and to apply it properly? I'm having a hard time to make it work properly in Chromium cause some emojis are displayed black on white (glyphs?)?
[11:04] <legreffier> Exterminador: noto-emojis ?
[11:05] <legreffier> Exterminador: did you change some settings regarding fonts in chromium ? (maybe you prevent the website from bringing their own fonts in.)
[11:08] <Exterminador> legreffier: I'm using the default fonts tho. that happens in Firefox too. some are displayed properly others are just glyphs :/
[11:11] <freakynl> Hi, we have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS install that was on for a long long time. It's running under Hyper-V and it doesn't boot anymore. It boots fine with much older kernel 4.4.3<something>, this is the oldest one in the list. Just booted it with a CD and installed the latest one, but throws the same error. It doesn't seem to see the disks at all and there's a "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at"
[11:11] <freakynl> error before. Think that causes the IDE controller to not be detected.
[11:11] <freakynl> Any ideas?
[11:19] <threenuc> Hi, how do I automatically connect to a wifi network in Ubuntu? I'm using Wicd and I have the 'automatically connect to this network checked' but when my laptop wakes I'm always not connected to any network
[11:27] <tomreyn> freakynl: 14.04 comes with a 3.13 kernel, with 4.4.0 available via !hwe. kernel 4.4.3 is not available.
[11:28] <tomreyn> threenuc: i don't actually know how to do it with wicd. is there a reason you don't use network manager?
[11:29] <tomreyn> *want to
[11:30] <threenuc> tomreyn: I found networkmanager confusing and just wanted a quick fix back when I started using wicd to connect to any wifi at all. I always used nmcli when I had to do something more internal. Will it work here also?
[11:31] <leftyfb> threenuc: how is it you find Networkmanager confusing? Just use NM to connect like everyone else does and it'll work fine.
[11:31] <tomreyn> threenuc: i don't know what "here" is. generally, network manager works fine, whether you manage it on the CLI or using the applet. it is probably not the ideal solution for servers, if that's what you have there.
[11:32] <leftyfb> threenuc: is this a server or desktop?
[11:33] <tomreyn> ah threenuc mentioned "laptop", probably a desktop then
[11:33] <seni> my mouse behaviour just became floaty, I didn't change anything. my CPU RAM and IO usage is normal
[11:33] <leftyfb> also mentioned NM
[11:33] <leftyfb> seni: wireless mouse?
[11:33] <seni> floaty as in there's a delay when I move mouse and then it catches up
[11:33] <seni> no it's got a cable
[11:34] <threenuc> leftyfb: desktop. So I'll have to write a "on-wake" script that makes NM attempt to connect to hardcoded SSIDs?
[11:34] <threenuc> like home wifi, work wifi, school wifi etc
[11:34] <leftyfb> threenuc: no, once you connect to wifi with NM, it will reconnect to it from now on
[11:35] <seni> it's alright now I have a script for my mouse settings and ran it
[11:39] <Delphin> can anyone help me figure out why my sentora_postfix is not working? in my /var/log/dovecot.log I keep getting messages like 2019-03-22 04:29:37auth-worker(4266): Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (sentora_postfix): Access denied for user 'postfix'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - waiting for 125 seconds before retry
[11:40] <baako> hi guys trying to stop up phpstorm and getting this message
[11:40] <baako> $ sudo apparmor_parser -r /var/lib/snapd/app
[11:40] <Delphin> the password works for the user though and I can login with mysql -u postfix -p
[11:40] <baako> snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks
[11:40] <baako> why is the snap having issues?
[11:41] <aqd_> anyone know why in 18.04 chromium all languages but english is available for spell checking??
[11:41] <leftyfb> Delphin: sentora is not supported here
[11:41] <aqd_> I installed other language options but same. where are chromium's dictionaries?
[11:41] <leftyfb> baako: try #snappy
[11:59] <Delphin> holy crap I fixed it! it was merely a wrong password issue in the file /etc/sentora/configs/dovecot2/dovecot-mysql.conf
[11:59] <udbert> hi I'm trying to understand how I can use my ubuntu to listen to a UDP multicast on my network
[12:00] <udbert> on the switch Im connected to, I can see all kinds of addresses with multicasts, like  172.24.255.255   and 172.24.31.255
[12:01] <udbert> I havent configured my ip address and subnet actually
[12:01] <udbert> is it required that I have the same subnet somehow?
[12:02] <solderfumes> Where are the ubuntu source packages version managed? Specifically, the https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/pulseaudio package.
[12:03] <solderfumes> How does ubuntu manage the packaging-specific parts? Patches and such.
[12:04] <solderfumes> I'd like to host my own repo with my own patches, and do it as nicely as possible
[12:04] <MonsieurBon> Does anybody know how to get rid of the openssl error Can't load /home/user/.rnd into RNG?
[12:06] <ayekat> MonsieurBon: stat /home/user/.rnd
[12:06] <MonsieurBon> ayekat, it doesn't exist
[12:07] <ayekat> MonsieurBon: what application gives that error, actually?
[12:07] <MonsieurBon> ayekat, openssl req
[12:08] <MonsieurBon> ayekat, actually, if I touch ~/.rnd the error is gone and the file filled with some binary data. But I'm not sure, if that's ok to do.
[12:08] <ayekat> that's rather odd - the file should be generated automatically AFAIK
[12:09] <MonsieurBon> ayekat, there's a github issue about the problem: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/7754 but it's for 1.1.1a and I'm on 1.1.1
[12:10] <MonsieurBon> ayekat, and I did not change anything in the openssl config. This is actually the first time I'm (actively) using openssl on this machine. It's a rather fresh install.
[12:13] <ayekat> MonsieurBon: I don't have an idea, unfortunately :-|
[12:14] <MonsieurBon> ayekat, judging by the mentioned commit it's probably fine to just touch the file
[12:17] <Lucifer333> hello

[12:47] <blacknred0> hi - i got two vm's that won't upgrade to bionic from xenial.  I get this 'nosplit' error.  i tried via proxy and w/o proxy and still get same error.  any thoughts? i follow this -> https://askubuntu.com/questions/899009/sudo-apt-update-always-giving-clearsigned-file-isnt-valid-got-nosplit-does/899897
[12:50] <Captain_Haddock> blacknred0: Try a different network?
[12:53] <blacknred0> Captain_Haddock: meaning changing the repo? or my network? :/
[12:54] <Captain_Haddock> blacknred0: Your network. Maybe try using your phone's data connection?
[12:56] <blacknred0> Captain_Haddock: nope.  it is straight vm's -> wifi -> router.  one of them did upgrade, but two i get the same 'nosplit'. :/
[12:58] <Silmarilion> Hi, I am running Ubuntu 18.04 inside hyper-v guest. The issue I am currently having is that for some reason ~/.profile file is not sourced when I connect to the machine via the xrdp connection. xrdp uses xorg session. Any suggestions?
[12:58] <Captain_Haddock> blacknred0: Any 3rd party repos?
[12:58] <Captain_Haddock> If so, try disabling them perhaps.
[13:02] <blacknred0> Captain_Haddock: ah! maybe... thanks! let me dig
[13:02] <blacknred0> would another option be upgrade via iso? or would i be looking at installing fresh (which i would like to avoid)?
[13:04] <ledeni> ultrariver: did you install'sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin'
[13:07] <ledeni> ultrariver:  if you did just run 'ControlPanel' in terminal
[13:15] <RockChain> Hi, can't find my network settings. Have Ubuntu server 18.10
[13:21] <Captain_Haddock> blacknred0: You can't go wrong with a clean install. I'm not sure if an offline ISO-based upgrade is even possible nowadays.
[13:21] <Captain_Haddock> But if you investigate a little more, you should be able to sort this error out.
[13:22]  * blacknred0 ok, thanks
[13:22] <blackflow> RockChain: default is in /etc/netplan/...  the new config abstraction framework. More info: https://netplan.io/
[13:23] <blackflow> RockChain: netplan is just config abstraction, by default using systemd-networkd as the backend on servers (via regular .network unit, but generated under /run by netplan)
[13:30] <RockChain> I don't have files in /etc/netplan...
[13:33] <JuJUBee> I want to use dd to make iso of /dev/sda1 (only part on drive) so I can restore on new drive on remote machine.  I will create iso.  will dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/path/to/storage/image.iso be good enough or are there other params I should use?
[13:34] <BluesKaj> JuJUBee, add bs=4M for faster transfer
[13:34] <JuJUBee> BluesKaj, thanks
[13:35] <JuJUBee> what about conv=noerror,sync  or status=progress ?
[13:35] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: i'd add conv=notrunc,fsync
[13:36] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: those are options as well if you choose to use them
[13:36] <OerHeks> i would use sync after dd
[13:37] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: noerror,sync would not stop on errors and pad the unreadable blocks with zeros so they're in "sync", i wouldnt use it, if the disk is actually bad you should use ddrescue
[13:38] <JuJUBee> EriC^^, I used fsync instead  Drive is fine, just want to clone an install
[13:38] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: ok, dd if= of= conv=notrunc,fsync bs=4M status=progress
[13:38] <JuJUBee> Once I have iso, do I use same options when reversing?
[13:39] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: to be clear you're dd'ing the partition, so the bootloader isnt being copied for instance, just fyi
[13:39] <JuJUBee> Hmmm, maybe I should clone /dev/sda then?
[13:39] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: when reversing just do dd if= of= conv=fsync bs=4M status=progress
[13:40] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: yeah if you want the whole install, but it should be noted if the drive sizes are different you might have a problem with lack of space or you not using the space available in the bigger drive
[13:41] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: what are the drive sizes?
[13:41] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: you really should just backup your /home and maybe /etc and grab a list of packages/ppa's you install. It's a lot more useful
[13:41] <JuJUBee> drive is 10G
[13:42] <EriC^^> O.o
[13:42] <JuJUBee> It is acutally a VM from virtualbox I am trying to convert to vmware.
[13:42] <EriC^^> oh ok
[13:42] <EriC^^> so you can match the drive sizes easily then
[13:42] <JuJUBee> I tried copying the vmdk and running vmkfstools to convert it on the server but is is not workin
[13:43] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: https://www.howtogeek.com/125640/how-to-convert-virtual-machines-between-virtualbox-and-vmware/
[13:43] <JuJUBee> I have 4 vms I want to convert.  3 worked fine, but one is giving me a problem
[13:43] <JuJUBee> leftyfb, I have tried that as well, no luck
[13:43] <EriC^^> JuJUBee: how so? what happens after you convert
[13:44] <JuJUBee> when the new vm boots, I get thrown into emergency mode (it is arch )
[13:45] <JuJUBee> says it cannot find the UUID.... but when I boot the live iso, /dev/sda1 is correct UUID based on grub.cfg
[13:45] <JuJUBee> Im thinking of doing basic install of arch then restoring /dev/sda1
[13:46] <leftyfb> It's literally quicker to just install from scratch and reinstall your packages and copy over your files and configs
[13:46] <leftyfb> and cleaner
[13:47] <JuJUBee> leftyfb, I did not create this vm so I don't know what is installed.
[13:47] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: if you're the one managing it, shouldn't you know that or figure it out and document it?
[13:49] <JuJUBee> leftyfb, so this vm is part of a cybersecurity class that I am taking.  I prefer to use vmware (I have an esxi server with vcenter running).  IT was given to us by the instructor
[13:49] <JuJUBee> I don't think he created it either.
[13:49] <leftyfb> perfect way to learn forensics :)
[13:51] <JuJUBee> leftyfb, https://imagebin.ca/v/4b4U3ociZnE9  error on boot.  The uuid it refers to (it cannot find) is the uuid of the drive/partition.  That is was confuses me.
[13:51] <leftyfb> Your instructor would probably give you an extra grade if you gave them documentation on how to build the image from scratch.
[13:52] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: you'll have to seek support from Arch Linux for that
[13:58] <c0l0rbalance> Hello! I currently have ubuntu 16.04 on a google cloud server, and I'm trying to update it to 16.10 for a github app that says to use 16.10 specifically. Does anyone know how can I do this without upgrading all the way to the latest release?
[13:59] <teward> c0l0rbalance: 16.10 is past End of Life, did you mean 18.10?
[14:00] <c0l0rbalance> teward: nope, I'm trying to setup https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM
[14:00] <teward> c0l0rbalance: your next upgrade hop would be 18.04, and we don't support EOL releases here
[14:00] <c0l0rbalance> and it specifies 16.10 or 15.10 as having been tested
[14:00] <teward> nor do we support upgrading from a supported release to an EOL release
[14:00] <teward> !eol
[14:00] <teward> !16.10
[14:00] <c0l0rbalance> ahh i see, okay well thanks anyways!
[14:00] <leftyfb> c0l0rbalance: Any application that ONLY works with EOL distro's is not one you should be using
[14:00] <teward> ^ that
[14:00] <teward> and just because ti says "tested/recommended" doesn't mean it won't work on newer
[14:01] <teward> it just means that developer never tested it
[14:01] <teward> or the software stopped being developed before those releases were "available"
[14:01] <c0l0rbalance> Awesome that is all good info to know, thanks for the quick help everyone!
[14:01] <leftyfb> c0l0rbalance: install 18.04 and try it
[14:01] <c0l0rbalance> leftyfb: will do!
[14:01] <teward> c0l0rbalance: if it still doesn't work under 18.04 then find another application
[14:01] <teward> because anything that only runs on EOL releases is bad :P
[14:28] <meakki> I need to find total RAM size of system by sar command, is there any possibility to achieve this?
[14:30] <meakki> need to find total RAM size of system by sar command, is there any possibility to achieve this?
[14:31] <leftyfb> !repeat | meakki
[14:31] <leftyfb> meakki: man sar
[14:32] <leftyfb> meakki: https://www.linuxtechi.com/generate-cpu-memory-io-report-sar-command/  # first result on google for "sar command"
[14:36] <meakki> leftyfb:it does not give specific answer
[14:36] <leftyfb> meakki: then you didn't read the man page or the article.
[14:37] <OerHeks> example 3
[14:39] <meakki> leftyfb: it gives output of kbcommit & %commit, which is the overall memory used including RAM & Swap
[14:39] <meakki> not only RAM
[14:39] <leftyfb> meakki: what's wrong with "free" ?
[14:40] <leftyfb> meakki: or /proc/meminfo
[14:49] <meakki> leftyfb:  i want from SAR command
[14:49] <leftyfb> meakki: why? It looks to me like the sar command isn't meant to do that. Unless you want to do a bunch of calculations. Good luck
[14:50] <meakki> Actually i want to save my last n minute RAM used percentage in file and use that later
[14:51] <leftyfb> meakki: ok? Then learn how to use sar to do it
[15:10] <Barabacha> how can I access linux partition (ubuntu 18) from windows 7?
[15:10] <leftyfb> Barabacha: don't
[15:10] <leftyfb> Barabacha: why do you need to?
[15:10] <Barabacha> linux doesn't start, I suspect it might be because there isn't enough disk space
[15:10] <lordcirth> Barabacha, have you tried booting to recovery mode?
[15:11] <lordcirth> That will work with 0 free space
[15:11] <leftyfb> Barabacha: use a live cd/usb
[15:11] <murthy> Barabacha: Linux wont boot without free space? are you sure?
[15:12] <lordcirth> I can see the desktop possibly crashing due to ENOSPC, but you'd get a tty
[15:12] <HexaByte> Hii guys, is anyone aware of a repository that would hold mod_security packages for Ubuntnu 18.04 LTS official nginx package?
[15:12] <Barabacha> I don't know what was the problem, it switched to text mode and hanged at "starting apt update jobs" unexpectedly
[15:12] <leftyfb> Barabacha: what are you seeing when it tries to boot? Any error messages?
[15:13] <lordcirth> HexaByte, is mod_security not in the bionic repos?
[15:13] <Barabacha> hold on, let me start another computer so I can restart this one
[15:14] <leftyfb> HexaByte: There's libapache2-mod-security2
[15:14] <lordcirth> leftyfb, doesn't nginx have it's own?
[15:14] <leftyfb> lordcirth: not that I can find in the 18.04 repo
[15:14] <leftyfb> only a github suggested for Ubuntu 15.04
[15:14] <HexaByte> there is no module for nginx, only apache
[15:15] <HexaByte> only this: libapache2-mod-security2/bionic 2.9.2-1
[15:15] <leftyfb> HexaByte: looks like there is no package for modsecurity for nginx on Ubuntu.
[15:15] <teward> leftyfb: no there isn't.
[15:15] <teward> HexaByte: ^
[15:15] <HexaByte> is there a way to request it?
[15:15] <teward> (FWIW, I maintain nginx in Ubuntu)
[15:15] <teward> HexaByte: you should request it in Debian first
[15:16] <teward> though there was a request for that a couple years ago that was rejected
[15:16] <teward> HexaByte: might want to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/NGINX though, specifically the section about requesting additional third party modules.
[15:16] <lordcirth> Why was it rejected?
[15:16] <teward> lordcirth: i wasn't privy to the internal discussion in Debian about it
[15:17] <teward> but I believe the reason was similar to the reasoning for NAXSI
[15:18] <HexaByte> is there a reason ubuntu can not have it, if debian doesn't have it?
[15:18] <HexaByte> i mean, I could build it myself just as long as it reaches official repos
[15:19] <teward> HexaByte: and therein lies the problem, there's no 'development libraries' you could pull in, you'd have to build against the nginx package as is in the repos, and if I adjust the package you then have to recompile it again.
[15:19] <teward> that's an issue that we have brought up with upstream nginx to no changes yet.
[15:20] <teward> HexaByte: i mean, you could make a feature request bug and file it against nginx
[15:20] <teward> but it'd only land at earliest next dev cycle (19.10), and wouldn't be backported
[15:21] <HexaByte> i understand, tnx for info
[15:21] <teward> and I don't add anything without discussing amongst the Server Team at large
[15:21] <teward> because I'm not the "only maintainer" for the nginx package :P
[15:22] <HexaByte> yeah I understand, to much politics for me going on here, will just build my own
[15:23] <blackflow> HexaByte: best do it from the src deb and track main package updates
[15:24] <teward> HexaByte: if you like, you can build against the same version of NGINX in the repositories, then manually include your compiled .so for the plugin and its config into the nginx installation in Ubuntu, i think it's got a --with-compat on there that'll let you include it...
[15:24] <teward> but as for including as part of the prebuilts, ther'es a lot of other considerations at play there...
[15:24] <teward> (and less "politics" and more "how nginx upstream made dynamic module support a thing")
[15:24] <pragmaticenigma> HexaByte, teward, blackflow ... perhaps we should carry on this conversation in #ubuntu-discuss ? I think we've strayed a bit from support
[15:25] <teward> yep
[15:40] <erle-> What can I do if Firefox won't start because it is supposedly already runningbut it isn't running?
[15:40] <erle-> delete some lock file?
[15:41] <erle-> I already completely logged out the user and made sure no process was running
[15:41] <leftyfb> erle-: try rebooting?
[15:41] <OerHeks> pkill firefox
[15:43] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: when a process is stuck, logging out doesn't always kill a hung process. You might need to reboot.
[15:43] <erle-> pragmaticenigma, I cannot reboot
[15:43] <erle-> I am sure there was no process
[15:44] <erle-> I checked the process list after logging out, there was no process under that user
[15:44] <erle-> I do not even run GDM, so there were literally only a handful of processes
[15:44] <ayekat> heh - iftop doesn't use unsigned types for the interface MAC address bytes, so it shows addresses like …:02:ffffff9a:4b:…
[15:45] <ayekat> probably just for displaying them, though... (or at least I hope)
[15:45] <lordcirth> erle-, there should be a lock files under ~/.mozilla/firefox/<something>/{lock,.parentlock}
[15:45] <Barabacha> how can I reboot Ubuntu if it's stuck in boot? I don't have the reset button
[15:46] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: Look for a "parent.lock" in the ~/mozilla/firefox/{userprofile}.default/ folder and delete it
[15:46] <ayekat> ugh, wrong channel, sorry
[15:46] <lordcirth> Barabacha, Ctrl-Alt-Delete may work, depending on how badly it's stuck
[15:46] <erle-> pragmaticenigma, thanks
[15:46] <Barabacha> lordcirth: nothing happens :/
[15:47] <lordcirth> Barabacha, then hold the power button.
[15:47] <erle-> pragmaticenigma, I deletet it and it still won't start ...
[15:48] <lordcirth> erle-, did you delete 'lock' as well?
[15:48] <erle-> lordcirth, there was no such file
[15:48] <erle-> I think the error message is wrong
[15:48] <erle-> I think there is a problem with the profile
[15:48] <lordcirth> erle-, that's possible. firefox -P ?
[15:49] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: Easiest solution then is to move the profile folder to a back up location and try again... also, run the pkill command from earlier, just to be sure
[15:49] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: with a fresh profile, you can trouble shoot further. There are instructions for migrating an old profile into a new profile on the wbe
[15:50] <erle-> fresh profile works
[15:50] <erle-> I got a backup of my other profile that is not too old
[15:51] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: That or use a tool like "meld" to compare the broken profile to the new fresh one... see what stands out as not in the new profile... try moving those items out of the old profile and see when Firefox starts to work again
[15:51] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: It'll be trial and error
[15:52] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: I didn't look at the date of the article about parent.lock... there could be other session files that are part of newer firefoxes than what the document I looked at supports
[15:54] <erle-> is running again, thanks
[15:56] <erle-> I think it had nothign to do with «still running»
[16:03] <pragmaticenigma> erle-: I usually encounter the error more frequently in Windows, when Firefox was attempting to update it self mid run when I forced shutdown. It's possible that Firefox was processing something during application close and didn't cleanly exit
[16:03] <stronk1> quit
[16:07] <stronk1> Hi!
[16:30] <alekksander> hello. i'm wondering about apt. my update command is „sudo apt update; apt list --upgradable && sudo apt upgrade -y” but then update fetches updates, and upgrade does the same thing before upgrading. is there a better way to have: update → list upgradable packages → upgrade ?
[16:31] <OerHeks> why would you list the packages and upgrade directly after that?
[16:32] <OerHeks> apt update && apt dist-upgrade would fully upgrade, btw
[16:32] <NoImNotNineVolt> only if you press y
[16:33] <NoImNotNineVolt> and probably to record which packages need upgrading prior to upgrading
[16:33] <OerHeks> that -y forces yes..
[16:33] <NoImNotNineVolt> right, and you omitted it. that was my point.
[16:33] <OerHeks> oke
[16:34] <alekksander> to see what was upgraded on one clear list
[16:34] <NoImNotNineVolt> alekksander: apt has a log also
[16:34] <alekksander> instead of when it's processing them already
[16:34] <NoImNotNineVolt> or dpkg, probably
[16:35] <alekksander> okay, perhaps that -y shouldn't be there. still i'd like to update → list what's new → upgrade if agreed on
[16:37] <alekksander> with apt update → list --upgradable → upgrade it's fetching twice. that's what i'd like not to have
[16:37] <tanja77> hi, I want to add color profiles to my two monitor. but these are the same model. how can I identify the monitors (which is which) in the color profiling dialoge of gnome: http://i.imgur.com/n2uQ6aa.png
[16:37] <d3l3k> Hello, I'm trying to run a java program from a script fired by systemd, but when I use systemctl start myservice.service the script fires up and immediately shuts down. Do someone know how could this being happening?
[16:37] <NoImNotNineVolt> i don't know how to suppress the initial fetch
[16:54] <tomreyn> alekksander: you could use this instead: auso apt-get update && sudo apt upgrade -yV
[16:54] <tomreyn> alekksander: you could use this instead: auso apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -yV
[16:54] <tomreyn> forgot one "-get" there
[16:55] <teward> tomreyn: i think you meant sudo in the first set of command arguments
[16:55] <teward> :p
[16:57] <tomreyn> mehr, you're right, thanks.
[16:57] <tomreyn> << failed again
[16:57] <tomreyn> so, last try:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -yV
[17:01] <alekksander> tomreyn: thanks. V might actually give expected result. unfortunately there are no pckgs to update, so i cannot check how does it look
[17:07] <e-i-k-e> hello. i'm just moving from my armbian 18.04lts system to a new one on an intel nuc installed with the minimal.iso. i'm configuring the system as usual but somehow the way how i always disabled ipv6 and set up the systemd-networkd unit are ignored
[17:07] <e-i-k-e> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dS6w3ZZGKM/
[17:07] <e-i-k-e> any idea?
[17:08] <e-i-k-e> ps: of course i picked the correct name for the device via ip addr
[17:24] <e-i-k-e> netplan.io was causing this...
[17:25] <lordcirth> e-i-k-e, how so? Was netplan not using networkd as it's renderer?
[17:27] <e-i-k-e> lordcirth: netplan was set to use networkd as renderer and
[17:27] <e-i-k-e> to use dhcp
[17:27] <e-i-k-e> thus the static ip i set via systemd was ignored
[17:28] <e-i-k-e> i just removed netplan...
[17:38] <Month> strange, i installed chrome via software manager set up soem settings in the browser and now it wont open, i also install firejail and did the sudo firecfg in terminal to configure things and still chrome or firefox wont open....any suggestions?

[18:01] <lotuspsychje> welcome tuxFirstTimer
[18:01] <lotuspsychje> tuxFirstTimer: how can we help you today?
[18:01] <tuxFirstTimer> I am only here for a little bit as I am just experimenting with OS's on a VM
[18:01] <tuxFirstTimer> My daily driver is Ubuntu tho
[18:02] <lotuspsychje> tuxFirstTimer: join #ubuntu-discuss maybe to discuss it
[18:02] <tuxFirstTimer> Again, I am not here forever, I am on my VM now to try out this one OS called Tux
[18:03] <tuxFirstTimer> Imma go now
[18:03] <tuxFirstTimer> Bye!
[18:28] <nevodka> running 16.04 lts w/ unity and the alt-tab to switch windows is absolute crap
[18:29] <lotuspsychje> nevodka: this is the support channel where issues get solved, not the complain room
[18:29] <nevodka> lol
[18:29] <nevodka> I was getting to my question >_>
[18:29] <nevodka> I want to switch it to just cycle through windows without the extra step of the "rolodex" appearing
[18:30] <nevodka> I gave a try to unity static application switcher via ccsm but it seemed to just remove my ability to switch windows entirely (even with a cursor)
[18:31] <wondows> Trying to create a bootable USB to install Windows using WoeUSB. When attempting it in the CLI I get "Error: Target media "/dev/sdb1" is not an entire storage device!"
[18:31] <lotuspsychje> !winusb | wondows
[18:32] <nevodka> any ideas lotuspsychje?
[18:32] <wondows> thanks..
[18:32] <lotuspsychje> wondows: can you install media on the GUI?
[18:32] <wondows> lotuspsychje: broken link btw
[18:32] <nevodka> for clarification, alt-tabbing currently it brings up a bar where you visually see all windows and highlights your selection, choosing upon release
[18:33] <lotuspsychje> wondows: just brought the link up because we dont support it
[18:33] <nevodka> i'd like to be able to just cycle through windows in a static list
[18:33] <wondows> lotuspsychje: using the WoeUSB gui? I get a Fat32 error because the sio is 5GB in size, thus I have to use the CLI with --target-filesystem NTFS
[18:33] <wondows> *iso
[18:34] <xamithan> What do you mean static list?  There is only two window switcher on 16.04,  one is the unity one the other is compiz
[18:34] <nevodka> nvm
[18:34] <nevodka> yeah ignore that last part
[18:34] <xamithan> the compiz does that weird rotate thing but otherwise they pretty identical
[18:35] <nevodka> the issue actually seems to be there are two rolodexes that show up when im alt tabbing
[18:35] <xamithan> You can disable the compiz one in the compiz settings
[18:35] <xamithan> or in the alt tab shortcuts
[18:37] <lotuspsychje> wondows: i recently used it to burn an iso with success
[18:37] <nevodka> there is nothing bound to alt-tab in my keyboard shortcuts though
[18:37] <nevodka> I'll try disabling compiz
[18:37] <wondows> lotuspsychje: looks like WoeUSB actually is WinUSB so it's the same thing
[18:38] <lotuspsychje> wondows: winusb has issues with burning w10, woeusb is better on that part
[18:38] <xamithan> This post I'm seeing says it is under the "hotkeys" section.  Whatever that is,  I'm not on unity anymore
[18:38] <wondows> I don't understand the error message... what is an 'entire storage device'?
[18:39] <nevodka> I see no such section. I'm using whatever unity version comes with 16.04 LTS. /shrug
[18:40] <xamithan> Ah my mistake,  that is apparently a section inside the compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:40] <nevodka> yep just saw that
[18:40] <xamithan> You'll figure it out =)
[18:40] <lotuspsychje> wondows: how big is your iso?
[18:41] <tomreyn> wondows: an entire storage device is usually a physical disk / storage, not just a parition.
[18:41] <wondows> lotuspsychje: 5GB
[18:41] <nevodka> fixed. thanks xamithan.
[18:42] <lotuspsychje> wondows: and the usb?
[18:42] <wondows> lotuspsychje: 16GB
[18:42] <nevodka> I actually didn't even notice it was two different ones until now.
[18:42] <nevodka> I thought it was just a weird design
[18:42] <nevodka> which gave me even weirder functionality
[18:42] <nevodka> lol
[18:44] <tomreyn> wondows: so basically "Error: Target media "/dev/sdb1" is not an entire storage device!" suggests that you ran woeusb against sdb1, but should have run it against all of sdb
[18:45] <tomreyn> i'm saying this not actually knowing this utility, though, just interpreting the output.
[18:45] <tomreyn> obviously pointing it against all of sdb will cause all data on this storage to be overwritten.
[18:48] <wondows> hmmm
[18:50] <wondows> tomreyn: hmm yeah maybe we're getting somewhere. Now I'm getting "Error: Target device is currently busy, unmount all mounted partitions in target device then try again"
[18:51] <wondows> umount /dev/sdb already says it's not mounted
[18:54] <tomreyn> wondows: you'll need to unmount the partitions on it, e.g. sdb1..9
[18:54] <tomreyn> or whatever layers are between the raw storage and any mounted file systems on it currently
[18:55] <tomreyn> "mount" lists mounted file systems
[18:55] <wondows> hmm I did umount /dev/sdb1 and now it's copying files :o
[18:56] <wondows> I guess it works
[18:56] <wondows> Thanks
[18:57] <tomreyn> very well.
[19:13] <TomyLobo> on xenial, which package contains debug symbols for /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5DBus.so.5?
[19:17] <ioria> TomyLobo, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages
[19:17] <hggdh> TomyLobo: libqt5dbus5.dbgsym, but you have to enable the DDEBS repositories.
[19:17] <ioria> sorry
[19:18] <ioria> TomyLobo, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages
[19:21] <TomyLobo> ioria, deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main?
[19:21] <TomyLobo> oh, i need a key, too
[19:22] <TomyLobo> W: The repository 'http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial Release' is not signed.
[19:22] <TomyLobo> "not signed"... this doesn't sound safe
[19:22] <ioria> TomyLobo, it's a warning
[19:22] <TomyLobo> it's http without ssl and it's not signed
[19:22] <ioria> TomyLobo,  the whole procedure is here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages#Manual_install_of_debug_packages
[19:25] <TomyLobo> odd that it said "not signed". now all of a sudden it is signed? i would have expected something along the lines of "cannot validate signature", not "not signed"
[19:27] <OerHeks> you have no key, of that repo
[19:27] <TomyLobo> OerHeks, that doesn't mean the Release file is not signed
[19:27] <OerHeks> install ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring
[19:27] <OerHeks> or sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F2EDC64DC5AEE1F6B9C621F0C8CAB6595FDFF622
[19:27] <TomyLobo> so the error is misleading
[19:27] <TomyLobo> OerHeks, already did
[19:27] <OerHeks> see that debug packages manual
[19:27] <TomyLobo> just complaining about the error :)
[19:27] <OerHeks> meh, complain, don't fix
[19:28] <TomyLobo> i fixed, then complained
[19:35] <TomyLobo> Unable to locate package libqt5dbus5-dbgsym
[19:35] <TomyLobo> even though it's listed in the Packages file
[19:38] <leftyfb> TomyLobo: what version of ubuntu? Where do you see it listed?
[19:38] <TomyLobo> xenial
[19:39] <TomyLobo> i see it listed in the link ioria posted
[19:39] <TomyLobo> actually nm i dont
[19:39] <leftyfb> TomyLobo: it's part of the libqt5dbus5 package
[19:39] <ioria> TomyLobo, the first you looked at was bionic
[19:39] <TomyLobo> it's only in the bionic link, not the xenial one
[19:40] <leftyfb> TomyLobo: it's part of the libqt5dbus5 package
[19:40] <leftyfb> in xenial
[19:40] <TomyLobo> leftyfb, then why does gdb show me '??'
[19:40] <leftyfb> TomyLobo: Not sure about that. That does not mean the file is not part of the package. It is
[19:41] <TomyLobo> https://gist.github.com/TomyLobo/71dc338a04df26ee07a996de92bf0e76 like here
[19:41] <leftyfb> TomyLobo: sudo apt install libqt5dbus5 ; ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5DBus.so.5
[19:41] <TomyLobo> leftyfb, i have that file, but i'm looking for the debug symbols
[19:43] <TomyLobo> here's what file (-L) says about it: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5DBus.so.5: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=df57ecccbfd8a1ece25cd126391847f12febce60, stripped
[19:44] <TomyLobo> stripped, iirc that means no debug symbols
[19:49] <ioria> TomyLobo, i can only think that the pkg has another name (splitted) in xenial (or it's really missing)
[19:49] <TomyLobo> that's unfortunate
[19:50] <ioria> like libdbusmenu-qt5-dbgsym
[19:54] <pyfgaoeu> hi all, having a bit of hassle with apache timing out on my ubuntu server, anyone able to help?
[19:55] <asfadf> .
[19:56] <asfadf> need help
[19:56] <Captain_Haddock> asfadf: with what?
[19:58] <asfadf> I want to install ubuntu on a system that has windows on it, but I want to do a 'something else' option instead of 'erase disk and install ubuntu' because I want to use ssd for os and hdd for storage
[19:59] <leftyfb> asfadf: ok, so far you have yet to specify a problem
[20:00] <TomyLobo> ioria, still question marks after installing that package, so that's probably not it
[20:01] <ioria> yep
[20:01] <asfadf> I don't know how to delete windows to use ssd for os and hdd for storage. do I do that with 'something else'? and delete windows boot manager manually?
[20:06] <TomyLobo> ioria, unfortunately, the debug symbols file names are all hashes or something, so I can't even use apt-file to find it :/
[20:07] <fnord> is there a way for me to have automatically mounted volumes appear on the dock like they do on the desktop?
[20:07] <ioria> TomyLobo, cat /etc/debian_version
[20:08] <TomyLobo> xenial, like i said
[20:08] <TomyLobo> this says "stretch/sid" though
[20:10] <ioria> TomyLobo, maybe you can find the libqt5dbus5-dbgsym debian pkg
[20:11] <TomyLobo> that doesn't sound likely to succeed
[20:11] <OerHeks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/libqt5dbus5-dbgsym
[20:12] <TomyLobo> wut
[20:12] <OerHeks> i think you have held back packages, run dist-upgrade
[20:14] <ioria> TomyLobo, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/319412942/libqt5dbus5-dbgsym_5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5_amd64.ddeb
[20:15] <ioria> ah,ok already provided
[20:15] <TomyLobo> already installing :)
[20:16] <alazy> I know that using multiple graphics cards is frought with difficulty, but it's always discussed in the context of multi-seat. Would it be easier to set up a sort of passive video out to just play a non interactive broadcast? Something like cat myvid.mp4 > /dev/video1 and have it appear on an attached screen?
[20:16] <TomyLobo> so yeah, that Packages file is lacking at least one package
[20:17] <TomyLobo> woo, full debug symbols
[20:18] <naftulikay> I accidentally restarted without signing my kernel modules, causing secure boot to fail on boot. Is there a way for me to re-trigger signing of all kernel modules?
[20:18] <ioria> TomyLobo, i' an idiot :  http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages
[20:18] <TomyLobo> thanks ioria and OerHeks
[20:18] <TomyLobo> ioria, oh that'd explain :D
[20:18] <ioria> TomyLobo, it's there but in xenail-updates
[20:19] <TomyLobo> though i didnt know they removed stuff from xenial when it ends up in -updates
[20:19] <ioria> yeah
[20:20] <TomyLobo> ioria, yep, changed it, and now it registers
[20:20] <TomyLobo> i should probably enter both, plus security :)
[20:20] <ioria> TomyLobo, ok
[20:20] <TomyLobo> there is no -security, odd
[20:26] <ioria> TomyLobo, there is for trusty (14.04) but not for later releases
[20:26] <TomyLobo> strange
[20:26] <asfadf> I have a fat32 SYSTEM partition, microsoft reserved partition, and two ntfs partitions belonging to windows. is it safe to delete all of them to remove windows from gparted?
[20:28] <lordcirth> asfadf, if you are sure you want to wipe windows, making a new partition table will get rid of everything
[20:30] <asfadf> lordcirth: how do I do that?
[20:31] <lordcirth> asfadf, in gparted, in the top bar, Device > Create Partition Table
[20:31] <lordcirth> That will remove everything on the drive
[20:32] <asfadf> lordcirth: what parition type should I use? default is msdos
[20:32] <lordcirth> asfadf, generally GPT. It must be GPT if you are booting EFI
[20:32] <asfadf> lordcirth: thanks
[20:33] <lordcirth> np
[20:36] <DrkShadow> I've been told that specifying a system path (/usr/bin) in a package .install file.. when you purge the package, it will remove the _entire_ directory. Is this documented anywhere?
[20:39] <OerHeks> in the uninstall file perhaps?
[20:54] <lordcirth> DrkShadow, last I checked, apt prints a warning "directory X not empty, not removing" but that's probably configurable and you definitely shouldn't say that /usr/bin is owned by your package.
[21:02] <WinterNight> Hello? Are any viruses on Ubuntu? https://www.eset.com/int/home/antivirus-linux/
[21:03] <OerHeks> !antivirus
[21:04] <WinterNight> Thanks :)
[21:07] <blackflow> that factoid is totally misleading though.
[21:32] <pinjavor> hello
[21:32] <pinjavor> i'd like some help regarding live iso customization  ?
[21:33] <DrkShadow> pin: specifically?
[21:33] <silentk> I need to find a way to install gcc8 or gcc7 on 14 LTS
[21:33] <DrkShadow> silentk: compile from source. If you try to use packages it will almost certainly fubar your system.
[21:34] <OerHeks> 14.04 lts is EOL in a month ..
[21:34] <OerHeks> pinjavor, have fun with cubic https://askubuntu.com/questions/741753/how-to-use-cubic-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-image
[21:34] <pinjavor> Specifically, i use this doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization. But it seems too old. When i boot my custom iso, i have a login prompt
[21:35] <DrkShadow> It is old. You removed ubuntu-desktop from your livecd squash fs.
[21:35] <OerHeks> pinjavor, that is old, this one ic current https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[21:36] <pinjavor> Ok, thank you for your help. I'm going to try that.
[21:37] <asfadf> I am on a live disk right now in ubuntu and I formatted both my ssd and hdd and made appropriate partitions but I get the error message "No EFI System Partition was found. This system will likely not be able to boot successfully, and the installation process may fail." I ran sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair in terminal. is it safe to proceed?
[21:40] <DrkShadow> asf: doubtful. `sudo fdisk -l` -- do you have a small, EFI partition?
[21:47] <asfadf> DrkShadow: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Vcgh2DFCg4/
[21:53] <Kon-> Hi, I'm on Bionic and getting an error when I try to update snapd to the latest version. This is from the apt log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mJQtP2vSxS/
[21:55] <blackflow> Kon-: is that an error though? Does it not update? Btw update how? Snapd is a snap that auto-updates
[21:56] <ArmyMan007> Hey everyone :) Long story short: when I ran the LiveCD version of Lubuntu 18.04 LTS, I was able to see my WiFi proprietary device but couldn't install it. After I've installed Lubuntu, it won't seem to find the device at all. What can I do?
[21:56] <Kon-> Well, apt tells me it's "1 [package] not fully installed or removed." blackflow
[21:57] <Kon-> And snapd is in the apt repository
[21:58] <TheSilentLink> can you install snap packages on an external drive or does it have to be your home folder?
[21:58] <ArmyMan007> Anyone?
[21:58] <blackflow> TheSilentLink: it's not even the home folder, but /snap/
[21:59] <blackflow> Kon-: what did you run, though? snapd updates itself
[21:59] <TheSilentLink> blackflow: what is the snap folder in my home directory then?
[21:59] <Kon-> I guess it is no longer listed in "apt list --upgradable" so I suppose it might be safe to ignore
[22:00] <blackflow> TheSilentLink: application data specific to your user
[22:01] <Kon-> blackflow: First I just tried to update everything in Discover (Software Center), and it threw an error. Tried it in Muon (Synaptic), same thing. Then tried "apt install snapd" and got the log I pasted
[22:01] <blackflow> TheSilentLink: snaps are isolated, so any app that would need a regular ~/ access, has limited access under ~/snap/...
[22:01] <asfadf> do I need an EFI boot partition for ubuntu?
[22:01] <Kon-> asfadf: If you want it to boot in EFI mode, yes. You do have the option of having it boot in MBR / "legacy" mode
[22:02] <TheSilentLink> right can that application data be moved to an external drive?
[22:02] <blackflow> you can also do GPT + legacy boot. MBR is ancient.
[22:02] <blackflow> TheSilentLink: I suppose you could mount ~/snap/ from an external drive, yes
[22:12] <TheSilentLink> thanks
[22:16] <arooni> is running an appimage app slower/less efficient than a native app specifically compiled for ubuntu?
[22:21] <blackflow> arooni: other than startup time potentially being longer, I don't see a reason why it would. containers are just namespaces. there's no emulation going on
[22:21] <arooni> ahh didnt really know what an app image really was
[22:22] <arooni> is there a way i can get this appimage to be indexed somehow or at least appear as a regular app launchable via the launcher?
[22:22] <blackflow> arooni: it's very similar to flatpak, snaps, dockers, rockets, podmans, ...
[22:23] <blackflow> arooni: you can always write a .desktop launcher if the appimage isn't providing one
[22:23] <arooni> where is the right place to put the appimage file?  like ~/bin  ?  or ~/software/  ?
[22:23] <arooni> i mean i know its up to me
[22:24] <arooni> but what do more people do
[22:31] <blackflow> arooni: you're the first one I know is using appimage at all :)
[22:31] <arooni> blackflow: not by choice!  haha  it just seems like koreader's (multi platform ebook reader) build for debian doesn't work and couldn't build it myself
[22:38] <y9pqb> can anyone confirm which kernels are in ubuntu 18.10 and 18.04.2?
[22:39] <y9pqb> distrowatch claims 18.10 has kernel 4.18 and 18.04 has kernel 4.15
[22:39] <Bashing-om> !linux-image-generic bionic | y9pqb
[22:39] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic bionic | y9pqb
[22:40] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic cosmic | y9pqb
[22:40] <y9pqb> is that taking into consideration HWE?
[22:40] <y9pqb> anyone with 18.04.2 installed around?
[22:41] <jeremy31> y9pqb: 18.04.2 as a fresh install should use the 4.18 kernel
[22:42] <y9pqb> ok, thank you!
[22:42] <Bashing-om> !info  linux-generic-hwe-18.04
[22:42] <OerHeks> dingo gives 5.01
[22:43] <jeremy31> upgrades from 18.04, 18.04.1 will normally keep the 4.15 kernel
[22:44] <y9pqb> ok, I needed that info to help someone who's on lubuntu 17.10 and their fancy new drawing tablet isn't working
[22:44] <y9pqb> I guess I'll just upgrade it to 18.04 and see if it works
[22:44] <jeremy31> Well 17.10 is EOL
[22:44] <y9pqb> yeah, I don't think he ever updated the thing
[22:45] <KeithWeisshar> why does the hyper-v quick connect only have ubuntu 18.04.1 lts instead of 18.04.02 lts?
[22:46] <KeithWeisshar> why doesn't hyper-v quick connect have 18.04.2?
[22:46] <KeithWeisshar> i mean hyper-v quick create
[23:20] <mondipr> saludos@@@@
[23:33] <aruns> Hi, I need to update an SSL cert that is due to expire in a few minutes time on an Ubuntu 14.04 server.
[23:34] <aruns> I need to run apt-get update so that I can install certbot.
[23:34] <aruns> AFAIK there is not a staging server in place.
[23:34] <aruns> Since I believe apt-get update only refreshes repositories and fetches information on available packages, this should be safe to run, right?
[23:40] <OerHeks> aruns yes, update fetches lists only
[23:40] <aruns> Thanks OerHeks
[23:52] <blackflow> aruns: waitaminute, you're worried about apt _update_ but not at all about installing kitchen sink certbot?
[23:52] <blackflow> if you're really concerned for prod and there's no staging, use something simple like dehydrated.
