[00:20] hi guys, using Ubuntu Jessie in a docker build, I'm getting: W: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [00:20] SDr Jessie is the name of a debian release, not a Ubuntu one. [00:22] SDr, Jessie is the name of a ToyStory character; as used by debian releases (outside of older releases pre-ToyStory) -- all of which are off-topic here [00:32] guiverc, understood, thank you. [00:54] hello all [00:55] on 14.04, in apache, for status mod, I'v configured require ip line. but its still opening /server-status for all other configured vhosts? [00:55] regardless [00:56] Haris: is this a new install? [00:56] nope. a very old one [00:57] Haris: you do know it will be EOL in exactly 31 days right? [00:57] its like the require ip or require all denied line has no affect [00:57] yes [00:57] I have to fix this security bug in prod [00:57] its showing out /server-status globally, regardless [00:57] Haris: have you tried #ubuntu-server or #apache? They might be better suited for this sort of issue [00:59] https://serverfault.com/questions/876115/unable-to-limit-apache-server-status-page-to-localhost maybe your answer [01:01] require local was already configured [01:01] I removed it to test just now [01:05] what context does ubuntu load the httpd modules enabled config files in?

[02:20] thank you [03:23] can someone give me default sources.list? [03:25] By default there will be a backup for your sources.list file on the same directory itself. /etc/apt/sources.list.save [03:26] is not [03:27] on 18.04 it should be [03:27] it's 18.10 and i'm using bedrock strata, probably bug.. -> need to make it myself [03:27] sane? `deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ cosmic main restricted universe multiverse contrib non-free` [03:30] "Ubuntu 16.04 will be supported for 5 years", meaning, it goes EOL in 2021 if my arithmetic hasn't gone totally South. I'm running Kubuntu 16.04. Will this receive the same full support for that time? [03:32] http://ix.io/1EQr sane? [03:32] sauvin, 3 years [03:32] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu#Support_lifespan [03:33] That means Kubuntu 16.04 goes EOL in a few days, then? [03:33] i think so, yes. [03:34] How safe is it to click on the little button that pops up "A new version is available! Upgrade now!"? [03:34] * sauvin has never done a dist upgrade [03:35] sup sauvin [03:36] Not much, wassup with you? [03:38] 1. download the fresh 18,04 iso and put on usb. 2. no backup of data means data is not important 3. have fun upgrading! [03:39] Yeah, that's what I *usually* do. Installing a new distro takes about twenty minutes. What takes forever is re-installing all my STUFF. [03:40] ah i sent wrong URL, New URL http://ix.io/1EQs, requesting sanity check ty [03:40] sauvin: ' ubuntu-support-status ' . I expect that you will see that the kernel (main) is supported for 5 years. [03:41] can i use `deb rsync://mirror.dkm.cz/ubuntu/...` ? [03:41] Bashing-om, from what I'm reading, Ubuntu BASE is supported for five years. It's the KDE stuff on top of it that'll start to wobble. [03:42] sauvin: Yup . [03:42] i imagine rsync would be usefull for a private mirror [03:42] * sauvin is busily emptying out a partition [03:44] So I'm planning to install Ubuntu to my ThinkPad once I get it to boot (odd things are happening). Any specific flavour I should use? (I use Ubuntu MATE across most of my Linux stuff) [03:45] * the2048 is going to ask #ubuntu-offtopic as well [03:47] sources.list seems to work.. thanks for help (y) [03:59] what is executable for snapstore? [04:00] kreyren, huh? [04:00] i want to open snapstore via terminal [04:01] since i'm not using gnome and i can't find the shortcut [04:01] This is for snap apps? [04:01] yep store for snap apps [04:01] -> so that i can install snaps [04:01] Do you already have some snaps installed? [04:02] snap instal [04:02] That would be "install", I think. [04:02] snap not present, is there a package for it? [04:02] I tend to *find* stuff with something like snap find [04:03] ehm, even 18.10 has snap standard [04:03] this is not standart setup [04:03] this smells wonky [04:03] LoLz [04:03] What's the setup? [04:03] Bedrock Linux 0.7.2 with ubuntu strata [04:04] oh, and you make it a frankensteinubuntu :-D [04:04] good luck [04:04] Yeah, you're going to have to find a Frankenbuntu channel. [04:04] not franken it's running in containers using chroot() o.o [04:05] https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snap-on-ubuntu/6740 got it i think [04:08] yep got it :D [04:08] ty [04:10] you dont have steam snap? [04:12] did you look in snapcraft.io store? [04:12] yep https://snapcraft.io/search?q=Steam [04:13] or like how do you get steam on ubuntu? [04:13] ah steam-installer [04:14] which is broken lol [04:14] You use the steam PPA [04:14] where is steam ppa? [04:15] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/steam ? [04:15] * kreyren wonders why is ubuntu more complicated then gentoo [04:15] lotuspsychje, Hello! :) [04:16] kreyren, you are not official in title for support, so rant away with your wonky setup [04:16] Don't know, I always installed the package from the steam website [04:16] Mr_Cyclops: morning [04:16] OerHeks: again this is _NOT_ Frankenbuntu [04:17] frankenubuntu == system that uses packages from debian and ubuntu or other package managers -> this is container using chroot() [04:18] lotuspsychje, morning, though the clock just went pass midnight here. Btw, see you in ubuntu-discus [04:20] firefox is using hight cpu usage [04:20] anyone know how to fix this [04:21] How many tabs you got open [04:25] hi [04:27] gambl0re: compile it from source it uses less system resources when it doesn't have to support everything [04:28] Hrm. Clicking on the "Upgrade" button in Plasma Discover has precisely zero effect. [04:29] * kreyren still doesn't know how to get steam on ubuntu [04:30] * kreyren finds too much spam about different methods where neither of them works [04:31] kreyren: dont use notices in the support channel please [04:31] lotuspsychje: meaning [04:31] I didn't see any notices. [04:31] +1 [04:32] sauvin: * kreyren finds too much spam about different methods where neither of them works [04:32] elaborate [04:33] That wasn't a notice. It was an action. [04:33] kreyren: in #ubuntu-discuss [04:33] lotuspsychje: https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=ubuntu+steam&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 [04:33] you have better way to describe it? [04:33] -> resolving issue with steam on ubuntu [04:34] -> is support matter [04:34] Goddamn it, I'm trying to do a dist upgrade, and all the repos are updated and all the latest packages are installed with sudo apt-get upgrade, but when I try to kdesudo "do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE", it says "please update all your packages". [04:36] sauvin, `sudo apt upgrade` can leave some behind; do a dist-upgrade or full-upgrade to ensure all packages are upgraded before do-release-upgrade (and please skip the language @ start) [04:36] sauvin: assuming that your /etc/apt/sources.list* and /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set appropriately for said version? [04:37] kreyren, not for the target version, just for the current version. guiverc: noted. [04:37] why do you need a do-release-upgrade then? it's used to upgrade whole system on new version afaik [04:37] apt-get full-upgrade doesn't upgrade anything. [04:38] sauvin, `apt-get dist-upgrade` (or apt full-upgrade) - full-upgrade is an apt option. [04:38] apt != apt-get ? [04:39] Nothing is updating, and do-release-upgrade is saying "install all available updates". [04:39] This is officially a Catch-22. [04:40] sauvin: elaborate on what are you doing? [04:40] Trying to jump from Kubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 using do-release-upgrade. [04:41] sent output of `cat /etc/apt/sources.list` and `cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades` [04:41] I understand now why the plasma-discover "upgrade" button has zero effect. It thinks the package manager is confused. [04:41] sauvin, you possibly need to reboot for all your upgrades to take effect (or restart services etc - reboot is often faster).. [04:41] I'll try a reboot, but nothing sugggested a reboot would be needed. [04:42] sauvin: ping me if ubuntu ppl tell you to reinstall :p [05:02] !register [05:02] For information on registering your IRC nick, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - For any further help, ask in #freenode. === murthy_ is now known as murthy [05:13] I am using 18.10 . I have a GTX 560Ti discreet card on my system. I have two notification of Nvidia drivers version 340.107 and version 390 which is tested. However installing any of them renders my computer to 600x400 which I am unable to change. [05:14] nvidia-xconfig and then nvidia-settings should help [05:15] in terminal ? [05:15] yes [05:15] nvidia-xconfig will update your xorg.conf file [05:16] should I add sudo ? [05:16] no need [05:16] well I guess it wont hurt [05:17] sudo nvidia-xconfig <- will update the xorg.conf file and sudo nvidia-settings will give you a gui to change your resolution [05:18] Which driver should I download ? [05:18] 390 or 340 ? [05:19] 390 [05:20] Will I get the NVidia control panel ? [05:20] that is nvidia-settings [05:24] Many updates, upgrades and a couple of reboots later, and do-release-upgrade still adamantly tells me to install all available updates. [05:24] It is BROKEN. [05:26] sauvin: pastebin 'sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade' [05:27] Did that. Nothing upgrades. [05:27] sauvin: from wich release to wich? [05:27] Trying to go from 16.04 to 18.04. [05:28] !ltsupgrade [05:28] Upgrade from 16.04 to current 18.04 is now available, if you do not receive the upgrade window try update-manager -c [05:29] there was this bug about update-manager before on 16.04 i recall [05:30] do-release-upgrade is catatonic, so, maybe update-manager will fare better. [05:30] (when the !@#$@%# finally installs....) [05:32] OH... hey... duya tee eff, man.... do-release-upgrade is doing something now. [05:33] I didn't do anything except apt install update-manager. [06:06] Hey guys there used to be a command to switch opengl from nvidia to mesa without uninstalling the nvidia drivers, but as of 18.10 it stopped working.

I'm asking because I need to decide what proposed means - it in the standard repos, but it behaves just as a no-guarantees PPA... [10:46] mozgiii, stay away from proposed ppas, they are basically untested dev packages [10:46] I thought I knew what I was signing for when I enabled it, but seems like it's a bit different [10:48] BluesKaj: I'm ok with that, but not ok with kernel annoying me by the partially-completed builds blocking updates :) I'll just disable it for now [10:50] thx === Sveta_ is now known as Sveta [11:07] no, it assumes the free market can find the best solution. if someone is being too immoral, customers won't buy from them and nobody will work for them [11:07] sorry [11:07] I wasn't meant to post that.

Inside windows I can select different screen resolution like 1920x1080 and 2560x1600.

[12:57] I don't use snaps, so I can't tell more - but I'd guess that checking if snapd runs would be first thing [12:58] kreyren: looks like atom doesnt sit in the repos, so you must hae downloaded it, that's why it's relevant [12:59] !find atom [12:59] Found: libatomic-ops-dev, libatomic1, libatomic1-arm64-cross, libatomic1-armhf-cross, libatomic1-dbg, libatomic1-powerpc-cross, libatomic1-ppc64el-cross, libboost-atomic1.65-dev, libboost-atomic1.65.1, libx32atomic1 (and 110 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=atom&searchon=names&suite=bionic§ion=all [12:59] MonkeyDust: installing it from provided .deb is not an option atm [13:00] ayekat: snapd || snap service doesn't exist [13:00] ayekat: there is Daemons option in snap command, but it doesn't seem to be recognized [13:00] Usage: snap [...] -> snap Daemonds --help -> syntax err [13:01] seems to depend on systemd [13:01] probably [13:02] I'd expect there to be a snapd.service or something at the least [13:02] maybe also snapd.socket [13:03] ayekat: `sudo rc-update -v show | grep snap` outputs blank -> service not present [13:03] kreyren: well, it doesn't exactly *depend* on systemd - it merely provides unit files to let systemd manage it [13:04] kreyren: but the package probably doesn't provide anything for other supervisors, because ubuntu runs with systemd [13:04] >ubuntu runs with systemd [13:04] meaning [13:04] kreyren: so if you want it to work with an initscripts-based supervisor, you'll probably have to write your own initscript :-) [13:04] ah [13:04] mb missread it [13:05] writing custom initscript is an option, but i dont know what is required to start it [13:05] kreyren: read the docs :-) [13:05] you dont know? [13:06] kreyren: I mean, if you switch out one of the core components of a system, I'd expect you to know a bit better how to maintain that system [13:06] kreyren: no, I use systemd [13:06] I'm happy we've left the days of initscripts behind, to be honest [13:07] output of `apt-cache rdepends snapd`? [13:07] -> list deps of snapd [13:07] * kreyren prefers initscripts over stopjobs any day [13:08] yeah, well I'm not here to have a systemd debate - but fact is: ubuntu packages are built to work with systemd [13:08] everything else is your responsibility [13:09] like i can start systemd, but i would rather not [13:10] isn't there any other channel where i could ask to get the answer i'm looking for without the need to read the docs, because i'm lazy? [13:10] if you're too lazy to read the docs, then why did you do something like replacing systemd...? O_o [13:14] because i hate wasting time with systemd issues that are not present on openrc that is also faster o_o [13:15] well, right now you're wasting your time with issues you get because you are not using systemd - how's that better? [13:15] i solve it once -> make PR to bedrock and i won't have to care about that issue anymore [13:16] -> i will resolve simmilar issues faster thanks to informations gathered from previous issue [13:16] -> if it can improve effectiveness of my system by 0,0001% it's worth of my time :p [13:16] I mean - I rarely use the defaults, and I often change stuff to behave differently as well - but then I know I'm on my own and have to resolve issues on my own, and I don't go ask basic support questions [13:18] i dont think it's basic assuming that the error is not helpful and it's faster to ask sometimes then self-diagnosing it.. + it's ubuntu have you ever seen non-basic question here lol [13:18] also, this is #ubuntu, so it's pretty much the wrong place to ask for bedrock+openrc questions [13:18] asking ubuntu questions [13:18] yes, but with a problem that is not happening on ubuntu [13:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1631514 https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snap-d-error-cannot-communicate-with-server-connection-refused/6093 https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2972 [13:19] Launchpad bug 1631514 in snapd (Ubuntu) "snap doesnt work. error: cannot communicate with server" [Undecided,Expired] [13:19] * kreyren hmmmmmmmmmmmmm [13:21] kreyren: yes, none of these issues are relevant [13:21] why not [13:21] the first one is someone using manjaro, the second one is someone having weird permissions on one of the relevant directories, and the third one... is WSL [13:22] also, I've got things to do, and since you've already been trolling on #debian, I will drop my "assume good faith" cloak now - good bye [13:22] all of which are ubuntu excluding the arch linux part [13:23] not trolling, trying to solve it [13:23] and was interested what is your argument [13:23] ty for info tho [13:24] hello, I’m having some issues booting from a live USB, can someone help me with it?

I just wrote the iso using the startup disk creator [13:27] LvdT: is there such folder on provided source? if so your ubuntu image failed to be parsed on your bootable device [13:27] no, as I said, the folder on the USB disk is named BOOT and not UBUNTU [13:27] but I apparently can’t rename it [13:27] what source are you using for ubuntu image [13:28] I downloaded both the 18.10 and 19.04-beta from the official ubuntu site [13:28] URL? [13:28] actually the 18.10 came from the torrent [13:28] http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.10/ubuntu-18.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [13:29] this is the one I’m trying to use now [13:29] checking [13:30] and what is your filesystem on the bootable device [13:31] expected FAT16, FAT32 [13:33] output from fdisk is: /dev/sdd1 * 0 3905279 3905280 1.9G 0 Empty and /dev/sdd2 3828884 3833811 4928 2.4M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) [13:33] seems sane [13:33] well, the first partition is type 0 which seems odd [13:33] but I have no idea how a live USB is supposed to work [13:34] BIOS usually needs 2MB of unformatted partition on the beginning of the bootable device, but your issue doesn't seem to be related to that [13:35] LvdT: is it possible that you've had something Ubuntu-related installed on that machine previously? [13:36] I’m running ubuntu there right now, it’s how I’m chatting [13:36] I bought a new SSD and I need to install the OS on that one now [13:36] because the boot device itself doesn't appear to reference EFI/UBUNTU in any way, so perhaps it's just an entry in your firmware (and the ISO is actually fine) [13:37] LvdT: check the output of `efibootmgr -v` [13:37] LvdT: perhaps there's an entry there that references \EFI\UBUNTU\… [13:38] LvdT: if installation is looking for /EFI/UBUNTU/grubx64.efi but /EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi is present i would try to rename BOOT -> UBUNTU [13:38] kreyren: the install device is probably fine [13:38] Boot0000* ubuntu HD(1,MBR,0x98ccaab7,0x800,0x5f000)/File(\EFI\UBUNTU\SHIMX64.EFI) [13:38] also you can't rename anything in there, because it's read-only anyway [13:38] LvdT: ah, voilà - that's probably the culprit :-) [13:38] kreyren, that was my first try, but the option to rename is greyed out [13:39] LvdT: invoke `sudo nautilus` and rename it this way assuming you dont have permission [13:39] tried that [13:39] kreyren: it won't work, again [13:39] kreyren: it's a read-only filesystem [13:39] mount it as rw then [13:39] ... [13:39] stop it [13:39] ayekat, so... how do I fix that? [13:39] ayekat: what that's how i would solve it o.o [13:40] LvdT: so you said there is already an ubuntu installed on your machine? [13:40] yup, there is [13:41] and do you have the EFI system partition on the hard drive mounted? (the one that's responsible for booting your ubuntu) [13:41] it is probably mounted as /boot or /boot/efi, not sure [13:41] LvdT: does /sys/firmware/EFI exists on your current ubuntu? [13:42] looks like I do [13:42] but there should then be an EFI directory underneath - check if it contains an UBUNTU directory - if not, that Boot0000 entry is probably bogus and can be removed [13:42] /dev/sdc1 mounted as /boot/efi [13:42] LvdT: also, please paste the full output of efibootmgr somewhere [13:43] LvdT: post url from terminal> efibootmgr | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:43] ayekat: https://pastebin.com/unpHjSuX [13:44] jeremy31, https://termbin.com/vcy0 [13:44] as for the contents of EFI: there’s a BOOT folder and a ubuntu folder (lowercase) [13:45] alright, so the entries are probably actually fine [13:45] what about copying BOOT into UBUNTU which is expected assuming that EFI/BOOT is required for runtime too [13:46] I’d rather not mess up the configuration of my “working” system, especially since I’m not sure at this point I’d be able to reinstall it [13:46] not your working system, just the bootable device [13:46] kreyren: again, you can't modify it - it's read-only [13:46] I can’t modify anything on the USB... [13:46] and it's also just a poor attempt at fixing the symptoms [13:46] ayekat: mount it a rw assuming it's mounted of working system to be modified [13:47] LvdT: how do you boot from the USB? F2/F12/… something before the system starts? [13:47] F12, oddly enough there is two options for the disk [13:47] agree that it's poor attempt [13:47] kreyren: no, you cannot [13:47] why not [13:47] kreyren: I repeat - the FILESYSTEM is read-only [13:47] kreyren: it doesn't support writing [13:47] why is not mounting it as rw an option [13:48] one is named ubuntu (toshiba whatever diskname) and the other just toshiba whatever diskname [13:48] kreyren: it doesn't. support. writing. the filesystem. it doesn't. support. it. [13:48] kreyren: it's exactly as if you had inserted a CD - you can't write to the CD [13:48] doubt.. it's FAT32 [13:48] kreyren: that's the kind of filesystem on that USB [13:49] kreyren: doesn't matter [13:49] doubt, how did he get the ubuntu on it in the first time then [13:49] LvdT: do you have secure-boot enabled or something? [13:49] +1 [13:49] kreyren: dd - but that's a different layer [13:49] uh... I have no idea? do I have to check in the bios for that? [13:49] kreyren: sure, you can modify the bits and bytes on the disk directly - but not by mounting the filesystem [13:50] you can mount it as read+write on linux.. thats like core functionality of fstab [13:50] kreyren: *sigh* [13:50] kreyren: ok, go, try and see [13:51] kreyren: come back when you can actually prove what you claim [13:51] k [13:51] ayekat, do I need to check in the bios for secureboot, or is there a way to find out from the OS?
