[00:01] can i run ubuntu server from a usb drive without installing it? [00:01] you can run the live server iso, to fix things, yes [00:02] energizer: I mean, I suppose you could. Is there a reason you want to? If the machine was ever rebooted you'd lose everything, unless you set things up with persistence, I suppose. [00:02] energizer: While you can, will be sooooo slow :( [00:03] i just need to do one thing, so slow is fine. i tried booting with ubuntu-18.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso but the only ooption i saw was 'install' [00:04] use a kvm for a single task [00:05] OerHeks, i'm not familiar with that, is that something i can download on a bootable stick? [00:06] or virtualbox [00:06] !kvm [00:06] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [00:07] what is !ot supposed to do? [00:08] dsboot [00:11] AlexMax: the !ot is the bot's response to take the conversation to the off-topic channel. [00:11] I've installed ubuntu to a usb drive, but over time it didnt seem to be reliable. a usb stick doesnt make the best kind of drive [00:14] compdoc, i am using the same 2gb for 10 years now, as installer every 2 years [00:22] AlexMax: i'm not sure why Sushi-san considered your question (if it was one?) off-topic, though. [00:23] AlexMax: if you seek help with this, you could and should surely provide more details about your ubuntu installation, hardware and configuration, though. [00:24] energizer: what are you trying to achieve there actually? maybe there's a better approach we can suggest if you'll describe what you are trying to accomplish, and why. === longcat is now known as mouses [00:40] this was very far down an X-Y chain, but i think i've got it worked out. thank you for the offer :) [00:49] is there something like less that also does syntax highlighting [00:49] or a way to make less do it? [00:51] nano, vim, emacs. [00:52] jcotton: vim (or view, vim in read-only mode) [00:52] ok [00:52] i could've sworn you could tack syntax highlighting onto less [00:56] jcotton: i don't think less itself can, but you could use the LESSPIPE environment variable to pipe text through a source highlighting application before it goes into less. [00:56] err LESSOPEN rather [00:57] ah ok [00:57] jcotton, oh my, hello mr jcotton .. good to see you.. [00:57] this could easily introduce security issues, though, so i'd be very careful about this. [00:58] i.e. terminal control characters in the wrong context [01:03] wwwin 18.04, where do I disable sleep mode when the laptop lid is closed? [01:05] Apachez: HandleLidSwitch=ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf [01:06] + systemctl restart systemd-logind [01:09] tnx [01:09] no gui option? [01:10] because I would still like to have the password prompt to get activated [01:10] but not put the whole box to sleep [01:10] since it's rather specifc, i doubt it. [01:11] Apachez: this is documented in systemd-logind(8) [01:11] see the NOTES section [01:11] yes, in gnome-tweak tool there is 'suspend when laptop lid is closed' option [01:12] tomreyn: Apachez I would set it to "lock", not ignore [01:12] Apachez: with "ignore" it keeps the screen backlight on, which can head up your laptop a bit [01:12] yes, to lock and not suspend that seems correct [01:12] also logind.conf(5) [01:12] head/heat* [01:13] tomreyn: because it was in the regular settings before 17.10 or somethin [01:14] so on unity, before the massive change to gnome-shell? [01:20] mmm [01:27] hi [01:27] can anyone tell me how to update my mesa drivers to Mesa 19.0.1 [01:29] Boyette: why do you need to? [01:29] also hi ;) [01:29] i update once a year many bug fixes past year [01:29] !latest | Boyette [01:29] Boyette: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [01:30] oh [01:30] important bug fixes are backported [01:30] so i wait then it will be done automatically later [01:30] when you upgrade to a new release, yes [01:30] yes i try dist-upgrade already but it wont update [01:31] dist-upgrade does not do a release upgrade [01:31] that's if you mean "apt(-get) dist-upgrade" [01:32] "upgrade-manager -c" and "do-release-upgrade" are how you do it. [01:32] Boyette: what ubuntu do you got 18.10? [01:32] 19.04 should be out soon [01:33] im on 18.2.8 now [01:34] i think for my APU are no video drivers from AMD i need to rely on MESA [01:34] Boyette: i think Apachez was asking about your ubuntu version [01:34] Boyette: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};) [01:34] 18.04.2 = ubuntu version [01:35] wait 3 weeks, for disco dingo, or run it in beta, else unsupported ppa for mesa 19.1 https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers [01:35] https://termbin.com/a7qq [01:36] yes that's current bionic [01:36] you could use !hwe but then you probably don't need to if everything's already working fine. [01:36] https://termbin.com/83ne [01:37] i can only use MESA i think as a videodriver [01:37] that is not an issue [01:38] an issue would be to have to rely on badly integrated proprietary + closed source drivers. [01:38] so mesa is better anyway? [01:38] there is no yes/no answer to this question [01:39] probably ? :) [01:41] we can talk about this in #ubuntu-discuss if you like, it's not a support topic. [01:41] ok thx anyway [01:41] Boyette: What shows ' sudo lshw -C display ' for the driver in use ( configuration line )? [01:42] sudo rebooyt [01:42] https://termbin.com/a6h [01:43] https://termbin.com/a6hm [01:44] Boyette: "driver=amdgpu" . You are using the amdgpu driver :) [01:45] hmm i think thats not good [01:45] i need to use mesa [01:46] Boyette: No comment - as I can not imigine anyone wanting mesa over the AMD provided driver, [01:47] oh ok [01:47] as far as i know amd does not make videodrivers for ubuntu for my apu [01:47] thats what they told me [01:49] Boyette: And what does your system tell you ' lsmod | grep amdgpu ' ? [01:51] https://termbin.com/lpen [01:52] Boyette: Does that not tell you that AMD provides all kinds of support for that APU ? [01:53] well they did not [01:54] Boyette: The format is name, size, (the amount of memory used by the resident module, in bytes.) use count(how many instances of the module are being used. If the number is zero, the module is not currently being used.), list of referring modules. [01:54] Help please. I have an HP z560 laptop which I have 16.04 when it boots I can not not log in at the GUI screen that comes up, If I switch to a terminal window I can log in fine. I need help diagnosing and troublshooting [01:55] emanuel: what exactly happens (not) when you try to login on the graphical login? [01:56] tomreyn, after I enter the password the loin box goes away and that's it. [01:56] emanuel: ok, run this on the text console and post the web address here: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};) [01:58] emanuel: also provide more information: does this only happen since recently, were you previously running ubuntu 16.04 fine, or a different version? or is it a new installation? [01:59] tomreyn, I made a type will re-try the entry. The issue happened only recently. [02:00] i also have a problem with the power states.. if i close down the screen and device goes to standby it cant wake up anymore and operate as how it should be [02:01] tomreyn, I double checked what I wrote and I am getting -bash: syntax error near unexpected token '(' [02:03] emanuel: just try this: lsb_release -ds [02:03] !hwe | Boyette [02:03] Boyette: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [02:04] tomreyn, I fixed my error and the url created is https://termbin.com/ocuh [02:05] emanuel: thanks, looks like an up to date 16.04 [02:06] emanuel: also provide more information: does this only happen since recently, were you previously running ubuntu 16.04 fine, or a different version? or is it a new installation? [02:07] TIL about ssh-copy-od [02:07] TIL about ssh-copy-id* [02:07] tomreyn, it was stable install. I origianlly installed with with no GUI because it was going to be just a ssh box then I used a guide to add a GUI so I can use X remotley and it still worked. Then I fouled something up with dnsmasq and I had to reboot the system. Since then I've had this issue [02:07] pretty handy [02:09] tomreyn, And now it's working! I changed the password to a shorter one and rebooted and now I am able to sign in at the GUI [02:10] does ssh read the password from stdin or does it directly open the terminal? [02:10] Boyette: if the return-from-suspend issues remain after upgrading to HWE and rebooting, you can do this: edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and add this: HandleLidSwitch=lock # once that's done, run this: systemctl restart systemd-logind # this will stpo the system from suspending when you close the laptop, i.e. it will keep running, produce heat, consume battery, require fresh air. [02:11] emanuel: the length of the password should not change whether or not you can login, though. if it did, this was a major bug. [02:11] Boyette: if the return-from-suspend issues remain after upgrading to HWE and rebooting, you can do this: edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and add this: HandleLidSwitch=lock # once that's done, run this: systemctl restart systemd-logind # this will stpo the system from suspending when you close the laptop, i.e. it will keep running, produce heat, consume battery, require fresh air. [02:11] asnwered my own question, it opens the terminal directly [02:11] jcotton: i didn't see you asking a question [02:11] ok [02:12] i upgraded now and rebooted [02:12] tomreyn, I agree that should not matter but it seems that it did. [02:12] tomreyn: jcotton> does ssh read the password from stdin or does it directly open the terminal? [02:12] ack it didn't copy the time [02:12] jcotton: sorry, i missed it [02:12] it's fine [02:13] for the record I was wondering if someting like `ssh nitron 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys' < .ssh/id_rsa.pub` would work when reading the pass from a terminal [02:13] and it does [02:13] emanuel: i suggest you set the old password again and try once more [02:13] !nvidia [02:13] For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » For the latest Nvidia drivers see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [02:14] tomreyn, I will do that as soon as I finish reboooting the box [02:14] whats the other nvidia command [02:16] beanfrog: There is no "other" - there are bunches .. what is the goal here ? [02:16] beanfrog: what do you mean? maybe !nomodeset ? you can also search those triggers online at ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [02:17] problem is not solved [02:17] yeah it was nomodeset thanks [02:17] !nomodeset [02:17] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:18] Boyette: try a kernel update, too. here's info about your hardware: journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:' [02:19] Boyette: sorry i meant to write "try a mainboard firmware upgrade, too" [02:19] the problem what occurs is [02:19] the system does wake up [02:19] but the keyboard doesnt function anymore properly for example [02:19] its like capslock is activated which is not [02:19] ENTER key doesnt function anymore [02:19] this sounds liek a firmware issue [02:19] etc.. [02:19] until reboot [02:19] does replugging the keyboard fix it? [02:19] or is this an integrated keyboard? [02:19] its a laptop [02:20] ah [02:20] but maybe somehow i can do this virtually [02:21] @tomreyn you mean bios update? [02:21] Boyette: check your system journal for the firmware version, acpi issues, and for what is logged about your input devices when you return from suspend [02:21] Boyette: right [02:21] can I make alt+tab directly switch windows in GNOME (Ubuntu 18.10)? === murthy is now known as murthy_ [02:22] quick question about the ppa nvidia drivers, after adding to the apt, and updating, do i do sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-418 ? [02:22] jcotton: maybe there's an extension for this at https://extensions.gnome.org [02:23] beanfrog: i'd rather ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [02:23] the default driver doesn't work [02:23] it'll use the newer driver from the ppa if there's a matching one [02:24] hmm im on F.27 latest would be F.31 [02:24] so, after adding the ppa's, I do the auto install, is that sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall? [02:24] but its only provided in a windows exectubale file [02:24] installation package [02:25] beanfrog: correct. [02:25] Cool! thank you [02:25] Boyette: on windows, you can disable the keyboard driver and re-enable it [02:25] i dont have windows [02:26] Boyette: if you'll tell what i suggested earlier, the output of journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:' then we can maybe help you there. [02:26] tomreyn: turns out you can just rebind it in Settings > Devices > Keyboard [02:27] well im thinking how to do that [02:27] because i have difficulties executing commands after the device will be in this state [02:27] jcotton: i must have misunderstood what you wanted to do then [02:28] tomreyn: I wanted alt+tab to switch between windows directly, isntead of apps [02:28] but as this highlgihts, you can just change a setting https://blogs.gnome.org/fmuellner/2018/10/11/the-future-of-alternatetab-and-why-you-need-not-worry/ [02:28] Boyette: you can review your logs after a fresh reboot [02:28] before: [02:28] https://termbin.com/lv8f [02:29] after: [02:29] https://termbin.com/hvde [02:30] jcotton: thanks for explaining, and for the link, i just learntsomething, too :) [02:30] baffled why it's not the default [02:31] Boyette: i didn'T suggest the output would change [02:31] no [02:31] i understood aswell [02:31] ater i noticed :) [02:31] Boyette: this wa sjust to identify your hardware + firmware [02:31] yes i see [02:32] https://support.hp.com/nl-nl/drivers/selfservice/closure/hp-pavilion-15-aw000-notebook-pc-series/10862162/model/15003057?sku=W9U26EA [02:32] there is a new bios [02:32] but its only available in exe package [02:33] https://support.hp.com/en-en/drivers/selfservice/closure/hp-pavilion-15-aw000-notebook-pc-series/10862162/model/15003057?sku=W9U26EA [02:33] I changed the password back and it still is letting me log in. So all is well. Now I have to figure how to not have the laptop sleep when the lid is closed [02:33] Boyette: if you want to review (or share with us) the system log from an unsuccessfull return from suspend, you can reboot, suspend, return from suspend (or fail to do so properly), press ctrl-alt-del or !sysrq to reboot again, then run journalctl -b1 [02:33] ok === murthy_ is now known as murthy [02:34] the only way to reboot after that would be with the mouse in the gui because the keyboard functionality is disrupted too much to execute any commands [02:35] Boyette: you might be able to run the installer from Windows PE (eg Windows Setup USB) [02:35] ugh [02:35] https://termbin.com/jl7o [02:35] why are my headphones going into input mode [02:36] *bluetooth headphones [02:36] running a bios update on a usb stick? [02:37] you would make a Windows setup USB stick, throw the bios exe on it, then run the updater from the command prompt when booted to it [02:37] (shift+f10 to open the command prompt) [02:38] it sounds very risky to me to do it like that [02:39] Boyette, it's quite common to make a freedos boot image to do a bios upgrade [02:40] Boyette, https://opensource.com/article/17/6/upgrade-bios-freedos may help you [02:40] hello. is it hard or easy to create a liveusb with presistant data. ive followed a lot of guides on the web but most are osbolete or dataed [02:40] this firmware update seems to be windows only, indeed https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JXkwYMZFqB/ [02:40] you might be able to crack open the firmware instalelr and pull out the image [02:40] if the machine has a non-OS way of installing the update [02:41] @tomreyn did you see my journal [02:41] freedos perhaps, or use the uefi bios update menu? [02:41] Boyette: i think you may be able to write the bios update file to a fat32 file system on the first parittion of a usb stick, and have the uefi ("bios") upgrade itself using this file. [02:41] Boyette: no, looking now [02:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate#Boot_into_BIOS_.28F10.29_to_upgrade_BIOS [02:44] Question: I have a printer that is shared on the network using CUPS how can I add printing from remote systems to it? === emanuel is now known as MannyLNJ [02:47] Boyette: the log you posted is old. did you do all the steps i listed? [02:48] Boyette: if you want to review (or share with us) the system log from an unsuccessfull return from suspend, you can reboot, suspend, return from suspend (or fail to do so properly), press ctrl-alt-del or !sysrq to reboot again, then run journalctl -b1 [02:48] i already did [02:48] yes [02:51] the incident happend at this timestamp: mrt 31 04:28:00 [02:51] im in a different timezone [02:55] i did it again now [02:55] https://termbin.com/whjm [02:56] now it must definetely be visible because it got even worse [02:56] this time [02:57] okay, this log is a lot shorter already [02:57] yes [02:57] how do you start postgresql in ubuntu [02:57] but i think it doesnt show the state before the incident [02:57] i think this is just showing after the last reboot [02:57] so it is not showing anything before that [02:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/postgresql.html.en [02:59] Boyette: those are noteworthy from your inital log, before going into suspend https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/k5PQhCTHdd/ [02:59] yes but the suspend it self is not listed here [02:59] in the previous log it was [03:00] the problem is i cant make another log after i suspend and wake up [03:00] obh maybe if i make an sh script for that [03:00] i can try [03:00] i see what you mean about the suspend event not recorded on the second log you posted [03:01] alright, i got ubuntu server up and running with a desktop enviroment in virtualbox, now too see if it works in real! [03:01] exactly [03:01] because the log will be renewed on reboot.. and we need the part after the suspend and before the reboot [03:02] postgresql 11 worked before upgrade to ubuntu 18 now it doesnt [03:03] Boyette: well it's all on the first log you posted, so i looked at that. there are indeed several issues after return from suspend. i suggest you upgrade the firmware. if this is not an option (even using the method i pointed you to which doe snot require windows), then there may be another option. [03:04] ok [03:04] 11 will be available in 19.04 disco dingo, bionic and cosmic give 10 ? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-10 [03:04] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-11 [03:05] Boyette: the other option (may or may not work, firmware upgrade is the better option usually): http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [03:05] got mine from postgresql site 3rd party repo [03:05] i have a woeusb in my pocket [03:05] so i can try that [03:05] if dont come back online it bricked the device [03:06] so you thought a 3rd party install survives an upgrade to 18.04? [03:06] nope, it does not AFAIK [03:06] or maybe it can be done by wine [03:06] Boyette: don't use windows if you don't have to. definitely dont do it with wine. [03:06] ok [03:06] so what is your best guess? [03:06] gonna find out all the files are there [03:08] Boyette: i think you may be able to write the bios update file to a fat32 file system on the first parittion of a usb stick, and have the uefi ("bios") upgrade itself using this file. [03:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate#Boot_into_BIOS_.28F10.29_to_upgrade_BIOS [03:08] oh this might work i think [03:08] https://support.hp.com/nl-nl/document/c00131948 [03:08] https://support.hp.com/en-en/document/c00131948 [03:08] ah its not in english that document [03:09] the installation package provides creating a usb stick [03:09] i just need to find a windows machine first to make the stick [03:13] what would make postgresql 11 unstartable after a distro upgrade from ubuntu 16 to ubuntu 18 [03:15] why doesn't hostnamectl set-hostname preserve changes for reboots? [03:17] Boyette: extracting the file might work in wine [03:18] noregret: maybe /etc/hostname isnt writable to it? [03:19] !yy.mm | henkel [03:19] henkel: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [03:20] i running 18.04 and got locale problems which is why pgsql barfed how to install en_US.UTF-8? [03:21] !locales | henkel [03:21] henkel: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ [03:22] tomreyn: just tred it again, /etc/hostname was written to. I reboot, then I go back to the old name.. any ideas? [03:22] noregret: is /etc/hostname the intended or unintended value at this time? [03:22] tomreyn: unintended [03:22] btw, i'm on server 18.04 [03:23] tomreyn: after the hostnamectl set-hostname command, /etc/hostname gets set correctly. I reboot, it goes away [03:23] why dist upgrade removed locales? [03:24] noregret: is it received via dhcp or slaac? [03:25] henkel: maybe you had not configured that they are generated? [03:26] no en_us.utf-8 is gone and localeconf isn't installed anymore [03:27] hi [03:27] tomreyn: what is? the ip address you mean? [03:27] it doesnt work as supposed but i do have the bios files in the stick now [03:27] is there a way to tell ubuntu to update it? [03:27] noregret: the system hostname. [03:28] tomreyn: no, and honestly I didn't know you can pass hostnames thru dhcp, at least i never looked in to [03:28] henkel: are you saying that the content of /etc/locale.gen was changed during the system upgrade? [03:29] Boyette: ubuntu won't be able to install the firmware upgrade, no. [03:29] noregret: you can. === jodie is now known as lays_potatoes [03:30] i created HP BIOS UPdate stick but for some reason it wont run [03:30] because ubuntu disabled uefi and it still needs it [03:30] Boyette: explain "ubuntu disabled uefi" [03:30] i dont have uefi bios now [03:30] but old [03:31] tomreyn: it's not in this case anhyways, not even ip, it's static [03:31] Boyette: ubuntu cannot and will not switch your system between uefi and legacy bios booting [03:31] the stick needs the uefi "middleware" to read the bios from the stick [03:31] there is no option in the legacy bios to switch to uefi [03:31] because this switch is handled by setup of OS normally [03:32] and bios update tool needs uefi === lays_potatoes is now known as jo3 [03:32] Boyette: the firmware configuration screens are the only place where you can switch between uefi and legacy bios (AKA "CSM", "compatibility support mode") booting [03:33] those options are disabled [03:33] noregret: maybe it's configured in your systemd-networkd configuration then? [03:33] tomreyn you got my postgresql running thank you [03:33] completely [03:33] henkel: i didn't, but i'm glad you did. [03:34] Boyette: i don't know your firmware nor its configuration screens, and it's (of course) hardware specific and not anything ubuntu related. [03:35] tomreyn: correct! [03:35] Boyette: generally, there should be some F key to enable a firmware upgrade [03:35] i think i read it is F11 or F12 on HP [03:35] tomreyn: which files are those [03:35] let me try a bit more [03:36] noregret: from memory that's /etc/systemd/network.conf [03:36] noregret: though you may be using netplan to write it [03:36] tomreyn no you pointed me to pages that solve the missing langs that was making pg barf EASY fix once the problem is found but i didnt know where to start [03:37] pg 11 running on ubuntu 18.04 now [03:37] noregret: i recommend reading some manuals and release notes when using ubuntu server. [03:37] tomreyn: i dont' have hostname set in /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml === jo3 is now known as jodie [03:37] tomreyn: so i guess i use netplan [03:38] henkel: you'd normally use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" to configure locales. i think that using this will survive system upgrades. [03:38] noregret: your system journal should tell where the undesired hostname is received from,a nd how it is set. [03:39] -_______- [03:39] !rootirc | Eliot_1998 [03:39] Eliot_1998: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [03:41] d [03:41] Eliot_1998: do you have an ubuntu support question? [03:41] what replaces kdesudo [03:42] irc is the first [03:42] how use the add #ubuntu ? [03:43] Eliot_1998: huh [03:43] tomreyn: and I can see that using journalctl -a ? [03:44] noregret: journalctl -b [03:45] I am using Ubuntu to switch to freezing mode I do not know whyy [03:45] Eliot_1998: what is your native language? [03:45] only use connecting safe mode [03:45] korea [03:46] !kr | Eliot_1998 [03:46] Eliot_1998: your question and comments do not make sense. Perhaps ypu would be better served in a channel that uses your native language -- try /join #ubuntu-xx, where xx is your language [03:47] okay [03:48] !sudo | henkel [03:48] henkel: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [03:49] !pkexec | henkel [03:49] henkel: pkexec is a PolicyKit tool that allows an authorized user to run (graphical) applications as another user. To run a graphical application (e.g. gedit) which can write to the entire filesystem, use e.g. "pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY gedit /etc/environment", However, Gnome applications can achieve the same through Gnome VFS using e.g. "gedit [03:50] -- [03:52] !korean | Eliot-1998 [03:52] Eliot-1998: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [03:52] distro upgrade broke stuff [03:52] tomreyn: ok, i see this msg "systemd-resolved[715]: Using system hostname " - where is this configured? [03:53] noregret: in one of the files systemd-resolved reads configurations from, i would think [03:54] it's man page, systemd-resolved(8), discusses those [03:54] update bios successfull [03:54] Boyette: congrats, so this reports the new firmware version now? journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:' [03:54] i could manually run the EFI file on the stick which forced the bios update tool to start [03:55] https://termbin.com/ffg5 [03:55] BIOS F.31 11/16/2018 [03:55] yes [03:55] updated from F.27 to F.31 [03:55] right [03:55] so, does return from suspend work any better now? [03:55] going to test now [03:56] noregret: are you familiar with man pages? [03:57] ok [03:57] it did definetely change something [03:58] but now.. when i close the lid the device just shuts down.. [03:58] what idiot takes the pg drivers out of the perl dbi [03:58] 😭 [03:59] https://termbin.com/clu3 [03:59] !ot | henkel [03:59] henkel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:59] but i think nothing can be seen here [04:01] tomreyn: the perl dbi includes a number of drivers for dbs and mine were installed via apt from ubuntu repos. ubuntu brok it. [04:01] in logind.conf [04:01] there is a value [04:01] #HandleLidSwitch=suspend [04:02] should this not be [04:02] HandleLidSwitch=hibernate [04:03] its poweroff hibernate or ignore [04:03] right [04:03]
