[00:02] i can never install AMD Pro, and once if i do, boot up with blank screen [00:02] stupid shit [00:03] why it is so complicated just to get the AMD graphic drivers to work in ubuntu [00:18] 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] Bashing-om: he left, pretty much as soon as he said that, which was right after he joined [00:19] Humbedooh: Ouch - sorry bad highlight; hulio left :( [00:19] he never wanted any help [00:20] tgm4883: Drive by shooters :( [00:22] no worries :) [00:38] Hello all -- can someone help me with something I am sure is relatively stupid that I can't figure out? [00:38] I have a program that is trying to open port 19132 and 19133 [00:38] I don't want this program to run as root [00:38] When I try to run it as a normal user I am getting the error: "Network port occupied, can't start server." [00:38] But if I sudo it, it works fine [00:39] This is on a brand new installation of Ubuntu 18 [00:42] 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] (ipv4 and v6) [00:53] hola hablando en espanol === mnemonic is now known as Guest8832 [01:45] 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] I did all updates and checked for broken packages (there are none) [01:50] 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] 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] 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] but my secondary monitor doesn't have it, is there a way to remove it from my primary one? [01:58] guiverc: thanx. i forced shutdown with the button. i dont have live media now, what do you suggest? (i am a beginner) [01:58] guiverc: what is the exact command i need to type in the terminal? [02:00] guiverc: is it a big problem or not? (i am kind of worried...) [02:01] 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] guiverc: but the screen became black (with no signal message) BEFORE i forced shutdown [02:03] 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] 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] 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] guiverc: is there any newbie friendly solution? [02:06] 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] guiverc: ok good, i feel better now that you said that... [02:07] 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] i am not sure how to do what you say [02:09] to get to the recovery menu i need to restart the computer? [02:10] and how do i do this fsck thing? [02:10] dsprado: Yes, reboot to grub -> recovery kernel, and will see the "fsck" option in the resulting menu. [02:11] and then will it ask for other questions? [02:12] also how do i get grub to appear, it only does sometimes... [02:12] dsprado: fsck == File System ChecK. Will do a auto/simple check and will advise if a need exist to go deeper. [02:12] it says f2 for setup, but that's not grub right [02:14] 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] 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] ok so shift key... [02:15] how long does fsck take? will you still be here? [02:15] cd /var/www [02:15] ls [02:16] so fsck is just a check, it will not fix anything? [02:17] hi is anyone kindly help me out...i will never able to install my AMD Vega 56 , in ubuntu.. [02:17] following direction..but seem not working at all [02:17] please, if someone is willig to remote to my machine [02:17] I will provide teamviewer login [02:17] i'm so stress [02:18] so i hope to find you later, in any case thank you guiverc and Bashing-om for your help [02:18] anyone?

[02:19] help me i can't get my AMD Vega 56 to work in ubuntu [02:19] hello [02:20] 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] anyone? [02:21] 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] I have issue with install ./amdgpu-pro install -y [02:22] it does install fine, but nothing seem to work [02:23] AMD OpenCL platform not found [02:23] what the heck.

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] 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] is there a resolved.conf setting that will allow short names like that to be passed along? [03:40] 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 === jmcgnh_ is now known as jmcgnh === _r` is now known as Klok [04:30] I'm trying to write systemd scritp that logs "hello systemd" [04:31] 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] anyone know how, or a tutorial on how to write your first systemd thing ? [04:33] why is my default audio device being changed every time i reboot [04:34] 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] 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] and then they became quite defensive and insulting and that was the end of the discussion [04:35] so i'm giving it another go now and hopefully this channel will be useful this time [04:35] how do i make ubuntu save my pulseaudio settings [04:37] popnfloss, just a thought.

[04:47] rfm: hey, It works now.. after I restarted the machines.. === Elon_Satoshi is now known as Copenhagen_Bram [04:57] 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] (5~10), I see the changes... What could be the problem? I'm using 18.04.2. [04:58] I tested it in both unraided SSD, and raided HDD, and the problem stilll persists. [05:03] 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] guiverc: Thanks for replying. I'll investigate further. =) === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [05:57] static ip lost after reboot [06:02] still having the pulseaudio forgetting my default audio device after every reboot [06:03] ive googled, ive asked, i guess i'm the only person on the face of the earth that has this problem [06:03] never happens in fedora, only ubuntu [06:06] im having all sorts of other problems as well [06:06] monitor turns off and on like 4 times just booting up ubuntu [06:06] plymouth doesnt work half the time [06:06] and this is all on LTS [06:07] popnfloss: pastebin: sudo lshw -C sound && uname -a && lsb_release -a please [06:07] the horrible disappearing overlay scrollbars can't be disabled now, at all [06:08] not even with the GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING variable [06:13] cant do it right now entire system is locking up because i tried powering off a virtual machine [06:13] popnfloss: did you read what i just asked? [06:33] garbage distro [06:39] 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] 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?

[09:38] they are all sub directories directly under the parent folder [09:43] Tankburn: in the file manager, perhaps you can look for all files, select them, and move them [09:43] ppf can you run in terminal 'pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1' and restart ff === raXa is now known as cyberia === cyberia is now known as raxa [09:49] How do I block all HTTP calls to a specific domain?

It's running under Hyper-V and it doesn't boot anymore. It boots fine with much older kernel 4.4.3, 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] error before. Think that causes the IDE controller to not be detected. [11:11] Any ideas? [11:19] 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] 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] threenuc: i don't actually know how to do it with wicd. is there a reason you don't use network manager? [11:29] *want to [11:30] 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] threenuc: how is it you find Networkmanager confusing? Just use NM to connect like everyone else does and it'll work fine. [11:31] 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] threenuc: is this a server or desktop? [11:33] ah threenuc mentioned "laptop", probably a desktop then [11:33] my mouse behaviour just became floaty, I didn't change anything. my CPU RAM and IO usage is normal [11:33] also mentioned NM [11:33] seni: wireless mouse? [11:33] floaty as in there's a delay when I move mouse and then it catches up [11:33] no it's got a cable [11:34] leftyfb: desktop. So I'll have to write a "on-wake" script that makes NM attempt to connect to hardcoded SSIDs? [11:34] like home wifi, work wifi, school wifi etc [11:34] threenuc: no, once you connect to wifi with NM, it will reconnect to it from now on [11:35] it's alright now I have a script for my mouse settings and ran it [11:39] 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] hi guys trying to stop up phpstorm and getting this message [11:40] $ sudo apparmor_parser -r /var/lib/snapd/app [11:40] the password works for the user though and I can login with mysql -u postfix -p [11:40] snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be.

[12:08] that's rather odd - the file should be generated automatically AFAIK [12:09] 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] ayekat, and I did not change anything in the openssl config.

[12:53] Captain_Haddock: meaning changing the repo? or my network? :/ [12:54] blacknred0: Your network. Maybe try using your phone's data connection? [12:56] Captain_Haddock: nope. it is straight vm's -> wifi -> router. one of them did upgrade, but two i get the same 'nosplit'. :/ [12:58] 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] blacknred0: Any 3rd party repos? [12:58] If so, try disabling them perhaps. [13:02] Captain_Haddock: ah! maybe... thanks! let me dig [13:02] would another option be upgrade via iso? or would i be looking at installing fresh (which i would like to avoid)? [13:04] ultrariver: did you install'sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin' [13:07] ultrariver: if you did just run 'ControlPanel' in terminal === ddevault_ is now known as ddevault [13:15] Hi, can't find my network settings. Have Ubuntu server 18.10 [13:21] 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] But if you investigate a little more, you should be able to sort this error out. [13:22] * blacknred0 ok, thanks [13:22] RockChain: default is in /etc/netplan/... the new config abstraction framework. More info: https://netplan.io/ [13:23] 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] I don't have files in /etc/netplan... === nat_ is now known as Natkeeran [13:33] 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] JuJUBee, add bs=4M for faster transfer [13:34] BluesKaj, thanks [13:35] what about conv=noerror,sync or status=progress ? [13:35] JuJUBee: i'd add conv=notrunc,fsync [13:36] JuJUBee: those are options as well if you choose to use them [13:36] i would use sync after dd [13:37] 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] EriC^^, I used fsync instead Drive is fine, just want to clone an install [13:38] JuJUBee: ok, dd if= of= conv=notrunc,fsync bs=4M status=progress [13:38] Once I have iso, do I use same options when reversing? [13:39] JuJUBee: to be clear you're dd'ing the partition, so the bootloader isnt being copied for instance, just fyi [13:39] Hmmm, maybe I should clone /dev/sda then? [13:39] JuJUBee: when reversing just do dd if= of= conv=fsync bs=4M status=progress [13:40] 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] JuJUBee: what are the drive sizes? [13:41] 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] drive is 10G [13:42] O.o [13:42] It is acutally a VM from virtualbox I am trying to convert to vmware. [13:42] oh ok [13:42] so you can match the drive sizes easily then [13:42] I tried copying the vmdk and running vmkfstools to convert it on the server but is is not workin [13:43] JuJUBee: https://www.howtogeek.com/125640/how-to-convert-virtual-machines-between-virtualbox-and-vmware/ [13:43] I have 4 vms I want to convert. 3 worked fine, but one is giving me a problem === pedro__ is now known as DodgeThis [13:43] leftyfb, I have tried that as well, no luck [13:43] JuJUBee: how so? what happens after you convert [13:44] when the new vm boots, I get thrown into emergency mode (it is arch ) [13:45] says it cannot find the UUID.... but when I boot the live iso, /dev/sda1 is correct UUID based on grub.cfg [13:45] Im thinking of doing basic install of arch then restoring /dev/sda1 === ShibaInu is now known as Shibe [13:46] It's literally quicker to just install from scratch and reinstall your packages and copy over your files and configs [13:46] and cleaner [13:47] leftyfb, I did not create this vm so I don't know what is installed. [13:47] JuJUBee: if you're the one managing it, shouldn't you know that or figure it out and document it? [13:49] 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] I don't think he created it either. [13:49] perfect way to learn forensics :) [13:51] 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] Your instructor would probably give you an extra grade if you gave them documentation on how to build the image from scratch. [13:52] JuJUBee: you'll have to seek support from Arch Linux for that [13:58] 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] c0l0rbalance: 16.10 is past End of Life, did you mean 18.10? [14:00] teward: nope, I'm trying to setup https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM [14:00] c0l0rbalance: your next upgrade hop would be 18.04, and we don't support EOL releases here [14:00] and it specifies 16.10 or 15.10 as having been tested [14:00] nor do we support upgrading from a supported release to an EOL release [14:00] !eol [14:00] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:00] !16.10 [14:00] Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) was the 25th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 20th, 2017. See !eol and https://ubottu.com/y/yakkety [14:00] ahh i see, okay well thanks anyways! [14:00] c0l0rbalance: Any application that ONLY works with EOL distro's is not one you should be using [14:00] ^ that [14:00] and just because ti says "tested/recommended" doesn't mean it won't work on newer [14:01] it just means that developer never tested it [14:01] or the software stopped being developed before those releases were "available" [14:01] Awesome that is all good info to know, thanks for the quick help everyone! [14:01] c0l0rbalance: install 18.04 and try it [14:01] leftyfb: will do! [14:01] c0l0rbalance: if it still doesn't work under 18.04 then find another application [14:01] because anything that only runs on EOL releases is bad :P [14:28] I need to find total RAM size of system by sar command, is there any possibility to achieve this? [14:30] need to find total RAM size of system by sar command, is there any possibility to achieve this? [14:31] !repeat | meakki [14:31] meakki: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [14:31] meakki: man sar [14:32] meakki: https://www.linuxtechi.com/generate-cpu-memory-io-report-sar-command/ # first result on google for "sar command" [14:36] leftyfb:it does not give specific answer [14:36] meakki: then you didn't read the man page or the article. [14:37] example 3 [14:39] leftyfb: it gives output of kbcommit & %commit, which is the overall memory used including RAM & Swap [14:39] not only RAM [14:39] meakki: what's wrong with "free" ? [14:40] meakki: or /proc/meminfo === dl is now known as Guest38053 === Guest38053 is now known as binary01 [14:49] leftyfb: i want from SAR command [14:49] 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 === Guest73569 is now known as Mr-Potter [14:50] Actually i want to save my last n minute RAM used percentage in file and use that later [14:51] meakki: ok? Then learn how to use sar to do it [15:10] how can I access linux partition (ubuntu 18) from windows 7? [15:10] Barabacha: don't [15:10] Barabacha: why do you need to? [15:10] linux doesn't start, I suspect it might be because there isn't enough disk space [15:10] Barabacha, have you tried booting to recovery mode? [15:11] That will work with 0 free space [15:11] Barabacha: use a live cd/usb [15:11] Barabacha: Linux wont boot without free space? are you sure? [15:12] I can see the desktop possibly crashing due to ENOSPC, but you'd get a tty [15:12] Hii guys, is anyone aware of a repository that would hold mod_security packages for Ubuntnu 18.04 LTS official nginx package? [15:12] I don't know what was the problem, it switched to text mode and hanged at "starting apt update jobs" unexpectedly [15:12] Barabacha: what are you seeing when it tries to boot? Any error messages? [15:13] HexaByte, is mod_security not in the bionic repos? [15:13] hold on, let me start another computer so I can restart this one [15:14] HexaByte: There's libapache2-mod-security2 [15:14] leftyfb, doesn't nginx have it's own? [15:14] lordcirth: not that I can find in the 18.04 repo [15:14]
