Mr_GraeyHello! Will someone help me resolve a minor Grub2 issue?00:09
tomreynjcotton: this dpeends on the "nautilus-hide" package00:11
Mr_GraeyI had it all set up to dual boot with two separate ssd's, each running its own OS (sdb with Ubuntu 18.04, sdc with Windows 10), but had to do a clean install of Windows 1000:11
jcottonseemed to be pre-installed for me00:11
tomreynok00:12
Mr_GraeyHad some issues with Windows and so I had to make it sda in order to install it, same drive, new name. Now my Grub thinks windows is on a different partition, and updating Grub isn't working00:13
Fieldytomreyn: did you happen to see what i directed towards you earlier here?00:14
tomreynFieldy: sorry, i missed it so far. let's see.00:14
Fieldytomreyn: (hit this issue twice today now) fyi I created a launchpad account and attempted to create a bug for the long password sudo issues. but launchpad itself seems to be having issues, saying it timed out etc (the site says this, not my browser).00:15
Fieldyhttps://i.imgur.com/2cdPxGS.png is what i get00:15

tomreynFieldy: so ideally you can comment on / add to this instead.00:16
xutI would just try re-partitioning and reinstalling the whole thing again, Mr_Graey00:17
Fieldytomreyn: ahh ok, yeah i missed that. i'll check it out!00:17
tomreynFieldy: about launchpad, yes, it's indeed quite buggy. there is #launchpad here, and you can "ask questions" on the url they have on their topic.00:17
tomreynthanks for checking the bug, let me know what you think00:18
tomreynFieldy: ^00:18
Fieldytomreyn: that's very well done! there's not really much I can add to it (no, i'm not being lazy). solid stuff. I'll keep an eye on it00:19
tomreynMr_Graey: this seems to suggest that you have a stale grub configuration pointing to the old windows partition seomwhere in /etc/grub.d/. try installing the "os-prober" package and to run "update-grub".00:19
Mr_Graeyxut: Everything is running fine, just need the Grub loader to say Windows sda instead of sdb00:19
jcottontomreyn: he'll also need ntfs-3g00:20

Mr_GraeyWrong partition I think though. I have Windows 10 on sda, a separate ssd00:29
qwebirc90415I don't know if my computer supports USB booting, but I was thinking to use a dvd and just reformat its content00:29
qwebirc90415if I can format it, then it would be a DVD-RW , right?00:30

tomreynMr_Graey: so your EFI system partition is on sdb. that's the one grub installs to, and the one where a windows UEFI installation will boot from, too00:34
tomreyn /dev/sdb1 specifically.00:35
tomreynso the Windows Boot Manager on /dev/sdb1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi should be the correct one, if your new windows installation does UEFI boot.00:35
Mr_GraeyIn order to get stupid Windows 10 to (re)install, I had to disconnect the other two drives (one is Ubuntu, the other is media). It named the new install sda00:35
Mr_GraeyOnly way I could get past the 0x80300024 error00:36
jcottonrandom question: the first partition of my NVMe SSD is denoted nvme0n1p1, with the SSD itself being nvme0n100:36
jcottonwhy is that?00:36
jcottonis `nvme0` a controller?00:37
tomreynMr_Graey: this looks like a windows error code. you will need to ask in ##windows00:37
Mr_GraeyI fixed it. I unplugged sata cables for the other two drives, installed Windows 10 on its own ssd, replugged, adjusted UEFI boot order, etc00:37
Mr_GraeyNow need Grub to work00:37
tomreynjcotton: yes. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/452120/persistent-device-naming-for-nvme-storage-devices00:38

Mr_Graeyjcotton, Yeah00:40
Mr_Graeytomreyn, How about Grub?00:40
Mr_Graey:D00:41
tomreynMr_Graey: what about Grub?00:41
Mr_GraeyCan haz halp preese?00:41
tomreynMr_Graey: what ios not working as it should?00:41
tomreyn*is00:41
Mr_GraeyWhen I boot to my P2 ssd, Gurb2 loads as normal, but lists Windows 10 as sdb while it should be sda, where it is installed. At least, that is my assumption, because when I select it in Grub, I get System Recovery blue screen00:42
tomreyn"P2" is an SSD model / vendor?00:44
Mr_GraeyMy mobo uefi lists sata port connections as p0, p1, p2, etc00:44
tomreynokay SATA port 200:45
Mr_GraeyI have dvd drive p0, moved Windows to p1 in order to bypass silly error00:45
Mr_GraeyRight00:45
Mr_GraeyThis is all because Windows 10 moaned the error, which upon researching, indicated it had a "preference" for being alpha00:46
Mr_GraeyKing Tut00:46
Mr_GraeyI reorganized my sata connections in order to install Windows 10 to the empty ssd (formerly P3, now P1)00:47
Mr_GraeyLinux, like the champ it is, was fine with all of this00:47
Mr_GraeyExcept Grub is a bit confused now... or Windows is... I know I am00:47
tomreynMr_Graey: i think windows is not too forgiving if you try to boot it in a different disk constellation than it was originally installed in. this may be what causes the blue screen. we don't do windows fixing here. i have, however, no doubt that the windows boot loader is installed on your efi system partition, which ubuntu saw at /dev/sdb1, so the first partition on the second disk (from ubuntu's perspective).00:48
=== murthy is now known as murthy_
tomreynos-probler goes over all disks and partitions and looks for known bootcode on it. on uefi systems it also checks what it sees on the uefi system partition, which your mainboard firmware reads and loads bootcode from.00:49
Mr_GraeyIf I boot the P1 SSD on its own, it loads Win10 correctly. If I boot P2 SSD, Grub loads, then Ubuntu if I select it, but not Windows00:49
tomreynif s.-prober found this windows boot code, then it exists.00:49
Mr_GraeyWindows is listed, but loads blue screen from Grub00:49
tomreyn*os-prober00:49
Mr_GraeyAgreed00:50
tomreynso the issue is that your windows installation is unable to scope with the different disk constellation. not an ubuntu issue, not one we can fix here00:50
Mr_GraeyOk ok00:50
Mr_GraeyBut the only way I know how to fix it is by fixing Grub00:51
venihello00:51
Mr_GraeyCan I delete the Windows efi from sdb?00:51
Mr_GraeyThat should help00:51
venisomeboy to help me about bootloader?00:52
Mr_GraeyYou too? GAWD00:52
tomreynfor multi boot systems, we recomend installing $otherOS first, ubuntu second, not swapping disks around, and using grub to switch between OS, not the firmwares' boot disk override00:52
Mr_GraeyWanna sepuku together? A soldier's death00:52
Mr_Graeytomreyn, So if a user has to reinstall the other os, they have to reinstall the perfectly viable Ubuntu?00:53
veniIs it possible to install burg anymore?00:53
tomreynMr_Graey: no, not really. unles $otheros overwrites the boot sector (legacy bios/ mbr) or the linux / grub boot code (on the efi system partition / uefi)00:54
Mr_GraeyI don't see how it could have, since I disconnected the ssd with Ubuntu on it00:54
tomreyn!info burg00:54
ubottuPackage burg does not exist in bionic00:54
Mr_GraeyAt least, I did during installation00:54
tomreynveni: Package burg does not exist in bionic00:55
jcottonwhat's burg?00:55
tomreynMr_Graey: i assume you are not yet aware of how uefi booting works entirely differently to legacy bios booting, and recommend reading up on it00:55
veniburg is a gui bootloader00:56
tomreyn!uefi | Mr_Graey00:56
ubottuMr_Graey: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI00:56
Mr_Graeytomreyn, Fair assumption00:56
hggdhjcotton: a boot loader. Code is/was in LP, but there has been no updates since around 201000:56
veni!info burg00:57
ubottuPackage burg does not exist in bionic00:57
Mr_Graeytomreyn, Ironically, I had just finished reading that link when I came in here00:57
venieven if i have kept the folder burg from my previous version of ubuntu?00:58
Mr_GraeyThis channel needs a new name. I vote SOL00:59
hggdhMr_Graey: please keep on-topic01:00
tomreynMr_Graey: basically, with uefi booting juggling disks around like you did with legacy booting no longer works the same way. your mainboard firmware will look through all connected drives, trying to find a fat32 file system within the (usually, may vary by firmware) first 2 GB. the first one it finds, it will use, and only that. this partition may contain uefi compatible bootloaders, such as grub-efi and windows' uefi boot loader, which were01:00
tomreynplaced there by the installed OS. so all OS you have installed need to place their boot loaders there.01:00
Mr_Graeytomreyn, So if I delete the Windows efi thingie from the sdb chungus, it should look to the next one, which is on sda?01:01
=== murthy_ is now known as murthy
tomreynMr_Graey: i do not know what a "chungus" is. but no, that's not how it works.01:03
tomreynfirmware will use the first efi system partition (ESP) it finds, and only that.01:03
Mr_GraeyGot it01:03
Mr_GraeyIf the ever hostile Windows fails, and I reinstall it, I must nuke everything and begin again01:04
drewbertOkay. I give up. I have edited /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base and /etc/dnsmasq.conf and tries setting the dns server in the UI.  I'm using ubuntu MATE 18.04.  How. HOW? How do I persist dns settings?01:04
Mr_GraeyMicrowave computer on high for 17 minutes or until kitchen is ablaze01:04
Mr_GraeyI installed Ubuntu and Windows on separate drives specifically to avoid this01:05
Mr_GraeyIs there no way to dual boot without this pitfall?01:05
tomreynMr_Graey: there is no way to multi boot without pitfalls.01:06
Mr_GraeyI guess I could ditch grub and just f12 everytime I power on01:06
Mr_GraeySeems like a grub issue. If I don't use Grub, I have no issue. Just f12 at boot, pick the drive, bam. Done01:07
jcottonrEFInd is another option as a boot loader01:07
Mr_Graeyjcotton, Do tell. What is this?01:07
jcottonhaven't used it much tho01:07
Mr_GraeyAh01:07
jcottonhttp://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/01:07
tomreynMr_Graey: it is not a grub issue if windows fails to boot, no.01:07
Mr_GraeyWindows boots fine. Only grub fails01:08
Mr_GraeyIn my case01:08
Mr_GraeyTo think, I LIKED Grub01:08
tomreynyou reported a windows blue screen. that's windows failing to boot.01:08
Mr_GraeyIf I load port 2 SSD, Windows 10, vuala!01:08
tomreynyes, read up on uefi, it's needed.01:09
The_Graey_ManWhoops01:11
The_Graey_Manjcotton, http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ Is pretty cool. What channel supports it?01:12
The_Graey_ManSurely not this one01:12
Mr_GraeyOnly if I use Grub on port 1 SSD, does Windows not boot01:12
Mr_GraeyGrub is using the wrong partition. I think I should delete the old efi from p1 ssd (sdb)01:12
Mr_GraeyMaybe interfering. Should all be UEFI though. No bios01:12

MythikosHow do I install Ubuntu 18.04 on a separate drive without creating problems with Windows 10? I want to set it up so that Ubuntu isn't affected if I ever need to reinstall Windows 10, I want Ubuntu to be unaffected. I have two SSD's for this task, one for each operating system.01:35
MythikosIf it isn't possible, I'll just stick with Windows 10 and forget about Ubuntu. I need them to "get along"01:36
leftyfbMythikos: Make the Ubuntu SSD the first boot and install Ubuntu on there. That should intall grub onto that drive while detecting Windows on the other drive. You'll then boot to the Ubuntu drive all the time, picking Windows from the GRUB menu if you want to boot Windows.01:40
Mythikosleftyfb, I thought that might work, but Windows doesn't "like" being anything but first drive, or only drive... or both?01:41
leftyfbMythikos: Windows will be fine01:42
MythikosIf I need to reinstall Windows, I fear I may have issues01:42
tomreynleftyfb: Mythikos, who was previously here using nicknames Mr_Graey and The_Graey_Man, boots in UEFI mode.01:42
leftyfbMythikos: when you reinstall Windows, unplug the Ubuntu drive temporarily01:42
MythikosWell, I'm overhauling the system. Want to avoid this issue01:42
leftyfbtomreyn: ah, EFI adds a bit more complexity, but the overall setup should work roughly the same01:43
Mythikosleftyfb, I tried that, but then Grub gets messed up. It can't seem locate Windows01:43
leftyfbMythikos: then rerun grub-update after reinstalling Windows01:43
MythikosI'm willing to reinstall everything ground up. Just need advise01:43

ms_hello01:46
leftyfbMythikos: What is your issue at this moment?01:47
MythikosI consider starting over a part of the learning curve, but how can I learn from this? I wish to avoid it. Maybe a fresh install of Windows 10 on sda (port 1 ssd), then a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 on sdb (port 2 ssd)? Should I do UEFI only (no legacy)?01:47

Mythikoshttps://bitmask.net/ ?01:56
leftyfbMythikos: please don't suggest 3rd party, unsupported applications that are not necessary01:56
leftyfbms_: ok, so you want a vpn client/service. Not run your own server01:56
Mythikosleftyfb, Okay01:56
leftyfbms_: pick an online vpn service and follow their instructions for setting up Ubuntu to connect to their service.01:57
Mythikosleftyfb, Wouldn't that imply 3rd party?01:57
ms_alright thanks man01:57
MythikosBecause Bitmask is opensource, and ONLY supports Linux01:58
leftyfbMythikos: I'm not suggesting which service, also, Ubuntu/Canonical does not provide one. I'm also not suggesting to install an unsupported vpn client since Ubuntu has one built in.01:58

ubottuprobs: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo02:57

probsmy project in github has makefile. will the ubuntu terminal be able to run this makefile?02:58
tomreynprobs: generally run it, yes, but the environment differs from a standard ubuntu installation, so *maybe* the application you're trying to build there may not support building in this environment.02:59

qwebirc30430hello?03:10
Svetahi, qwebirc3043003:10
tomreynqwebirc30430: are you able to try booting into the installer again while remaining on the chat here?03:10
qwebirc30430im in my phone right now talking to you03:11
tomreynqwebirc30430: good, so you can also take photos of your screen when it fails to boot.03:11
qwebirc30430yeah03:11
tomreynand upload them to imgur.com, for example03:11
qwebirc30430how can i send you the photos03:11
tomreynqwebirc30430: you upload them to some image hosting site (such as imgur.com) and then post the web address of where you posted them here03:12
Svetaprobs: "connect the ubuntu to my github project" means using a git client, I think, it is possible03:12
Svetahi, qwebirc7806803:12
qwebirc78068how can i send you the photos03:13
tomreynqwebirc78068: it would help us communicating with you if you had a stable internet connection.03:13
tomreynqwebirc78068: you upload them to some image hosting site (such as imgur.com) and then post the web address of where you posted them here03:13
qwebirc78068this time it was because i exited the page trying to enter imgur.cim03:14

tomreynthat's probably why it prompts you as to whether you really want to go elsewehre03:14
qwebirc78068yeah03:15
qwebirc78068wait im gonna try to upload the images to imgur and send the link03:16
tomreyni suggest you try installing again, take a screenshot when it fails to boot, press escape and take another screenshot if this shows an error message then. and  press escape and ctrl-alt-F3 to get a text login.03:16
qwebirc78068i cannot even hit escape or do ctrl+alt+F303:18

tomreynMead: a lot. but not nearly all. what are you trying to achieve there?03:45
probsdoes anyone here use github? #github is dead03:46
tomreynGuest97348: the "lynx" nickname was a good try, but it is already taken by someone else, so you're now Guest9734803:46
tomreynGuest97348: you can try using a more specific one, such as lynx1234503:46
tomreynprobs: do you have an ubuntu support question?03:47
Meadtomreyn: creating notes about how to use dmeg, and want to define what the kernel ring buffer in my own words to describe what the command displays03:48
tomreynMead: have you read the man page, yet?03:48
tomreynit may help you find your own words to describe it.03:49
probscan ubuntu run makefiles?03:50
Meadyes I am looking at the man for dmesg "dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer." it doesn't define what it is,03:50
lordcirth_probs, the 'make' command uses makefiles. You can easily install it. I recommend installing 'build-essential'03:51
probshttps://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/build-essential03:52
probsamd64 you think? I'm on windows and nothing else there seems familiar03:53
lordcirth_probs, just run 'sudo apt install build-essential', same as all other software03:53
tomreynMead: there'S a good enough explanation here https://www.computerhope.com/unix/dmesg.htm03:53
lordcirth_well, most03:53
tomreynMead: about circular buffers: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/circular-buffers.txt03:53
=== murthy_ is now known as murthy
probsthank you. Do you experience with build-essential?03:55
Meadtomreyn: I read that too, but it doesn't describe what events are logged. just that they are "related to the operation of the kernel".03:56
lordcirth_probs, build-essential is just a meta-package that pulls in common tools for compiling.03:56
Eickmeyer[m]lordcirth_: I belive probs is running Windows.03:57
lordcirth_Eickmeyer[m], yes, but he was asking about running makefiles on ubuntu.03:57
Meadtomreyn: I got the idea of ring buffer, a buffer of specific size that once it fills up the oldest messages are removed to make space for new ones.03:57
probscorrect. I have a project for school which has a bunch of .cpp files and a makefile to tie them all together and wanted something that could run the makefile04:00
tomreynMead: i do not know whether there are documentations or policies on what events are to be logged by the kernel (and kernel modules) and what not. i imagine they may have such written policy documents, though. if any, you will likely find those on kernel.org. this is outside the scope of an ubuntu support request.04:00
probsI have ubuntu open for windows and I just cd .. all the way out because I didn't recognize any of the files/folders it was displaying when I did 'ls'04:01
probsI still don't. how can I access files on my computer using this?04:02
Eickmeyerprobs: You're using Ubuntu's Windows Subsystem for Linux, correct?04:03
lordcirth_!wsl | probs04:04
ubottuprobs: Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation.

probsI downlaoded 'ubuntu' from the microsoft app store04:05
EickmeyerYes, that's Ubuntu on WSL.04:05
Eickmeyerif you "cd /mnt" and then type "ls" you'll see your drive letters (c, d, etc.)04:05
EickmeyerThat's where you can access your files.04:05
EickmeyerFurther than this, though, you'll want to try the #ubuntu-on-windows room.04:06
probsthank you04:06
tomreynprobs: you may also want to discuss why you are working with makefiles. this is not something the average user does much. maybe there is a better option to achieve what you are trying to do.04:08

tomreynmaybe that's something you should change ;)04:13
probsat a minimum for the sake of my grades04:13
probsI can't even complete projects that require makefiles04:13
probsbecause I can't do them at home and whenever I get to a PC on campus I spend 2-3 hours trying to figure out how to use the terminal and don't get anything done04:14

probsmaybe this'll help though, thank you04:14
tomreynprobs: you could try setting up a website (wordpress?) on a free-for-a-year linux cloud VM, or a VM hosted on your own computer at home. this can be a fun project, plus you would surely learn a lot.04:17
probsI have a VM with linux on my computer I'm using now but really have no clue how to use it. Someone set it up for me but got just far enough to have me log in and that's it. It's just a terminal04:19

tomreynTrangar: openssh-client 7.7p1-4 is tge rekease version of ubuntu 18.10. version 7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3 is the latest security patch.07:58
tomreyn*the release version07:58

tomreynTrangar: while the verison number you posted is cut off, i assume that the latest security patch for openssh-client was installed, as it should be, and there is no issue there.08:01
evg1guiverc thanks08:01
tomreynTrangar: openssh-server versions are the same08:02
=== Leion1 is now known as Leion
Trangartomreyn: so the situation was that my local openssh-server was depending on 1:7.7p1-4, but locally 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3 was installed, and that crashed my ssh server when I tried starting it with systemctl08:11
TrangarI ended up downgrading to openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4 and that made the openssh-server able to start again08:12
TrangarMy question is mostly if this was an issue in apt/ppa, or if I messed something up, because I don't think I manually broke something08:13
Trangarwas depending on openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4*08:13
tomreynTrangar: it is correct that an openssh-server package will depend on the openssh-client package of the exact same version (installed on the same system). if your openssh-server package was 7.7p1-4 (the release version) it means that it missed several security patches and shoul dhave been upgraded. maybe it was upgraded, just wasn't restarted.08:16
TrangarI have openssh-server 1:7.7p1-4 installed, and apt doesn't seem interested in upgrading it08:17
TrangarBut I'm guessing openssh-client was upgraded to 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3 without openssh-server being upgraded08:17
tomreynTrangar: if you have the security.ubuntu.com cosmic-security and the *.archive.ubuntu.com cosmic-updates apt source configured and install security patches regularly, and also restart services upon updates, this situation would not occur.08:18
tomreynTrangar: openssh-client would not have been upgraded to a higher version if openssh-server depended on an exact lower version08:19
TrangarHmm security is not enabled08:20
TrangarThen how did I get openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3 ...08:21
tomreynvia -updates08:21
TrangarBut openssh-server p1-4ubuntu0.3 is only in security?08:21
tomreynno08:21
=== nomad1 is now known as nomad_fr
tomreynit's in both -security and -updates08:22
TrangarI don't have -updates either08:22
tomreynbut it still does not make sense that openssh-client would be upgraded to a version differing from the one the openssh-server depends on.08:22
TrangarThese are the only ubuntu ppa's I have as far as I can see https://paste.rs/th008:23
TrangarThese should not have installed openssh-client p1-4ubuntu0.3, right?08:23
tomreynthese are not PPAs but standard ubuntu archive mirrors08:24
tomreynand no, only the release version is available from these, in the main section08:24
TrangarThen I need to figure out how I got a newer version of openssh-client on my machine08:25
tomreynmaybe someone who took over your system wanted to make sure they have a current openssh-client installed08:25
TrangarI'm hoping nobody has access to my system08:25
tomreynwell, you didn't have security patches for the past half year08:25
TrangarI don't think it makes sense that someone would install a secure version of openssh-client, if they had unauthorized access to my machine08:26
tomreynnot much. i was mostly kidding about someone doing this. but you should consider reinstalling, and focus more on setting up systems securley than on figuring out the details of this version upgrade08:27
TrangarCouldn't I just enable security in sources.list and update?08:28
tomreynif you still want to determine what happened in terms of packages updates, inspect the logs at /var/log/apt/08:28
tomreynenabling ubuntu-security and ubuntu-updates and running sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade will install the latest security updates. it will not undo any compromise of your system if such occurred during the past 6 months.08:29
Trangarhttps://paste.rs/mha08:31
TrangarWhy did this mark openssh-server to be removed?08:32
TrangarI've had openssh-server since 2019-03-05, but apt suddenly marked it as "should be removed"08:34
Trangaropenssh-server 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.2*08:35
TrangarErr .3, I was reading that wrong08:35
tomreynthe log you posted is from today08:36
TrangarYes, today apt marked openssh-server as "Remove"08:36
TrangarEven though it's been installed for almost a month08:36
TrangarOr rather, I upgraded from Ubuntu0.2 to Ubuntu0.3 a month ago08:37
TrangarAnd now apt can't install Ubuntu0.3 :D08:37
tomreyni suspect you have dependency conflicts. you can paste tthis: sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -qqy update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 </tmp/aptlog; rm /tmp/aptlog08:38

TrangarFrom what I can tell, I had the p1-4Ubuntu0.3 security update installed for almost a month, but apt can't find it any more, so it tried downgrading to p1-408:43
TrangarAnd I'm not sure why apt can't find it, even now it says that p1-4 is the latest version08:43
TrangarAh because I used deb-src instead of deb, now it works again08:44

TrangarBut otherwise everything seems fine now08:46
tomreynonce you have your apt sources fixed, you can re-run both oneliners i provided08:46
tomreynapt repositories get disabled by someone manually disabling them, there is no other explanation.08:46
tomreynwell, theoretically any process which could write to sources.list could do it, but hopefully you dont have such.08:47
TrangarIt might've gotten messed up because I tried to make the GUI updater not prompt me that there are updates08:47
tomreyn...at least none other than those taking manual input from you08:47
Trangarubuntu-support-status: https://paste.rs/feJ - /tmp/aptlog: https://paste.rs/oJ408:49
tomreynTrangar: ubuntu-support-status: no apt source for "cups" sounds wrong.08:54
markus_dI cannot login into my fresh installed mysql server. Did something change for 5.7 version?08:57
Trangartomreyn: i was probably playing around with it and removed the repo afterwards08:59
tomreynTrangar: your apt sources on the second paste look fine to me. i guess you should review "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported" now (with the proper apt sources setup, and apt refreshed) again09:01
tomreynmarkus_d: if you are asking whether mysql-server authentication mechanisms changed within an ubuntu release, the answer is most likely 'no', but you could review the changelog to know for sure.09:03

AngsHi, I've ubuntu 18.04 and would like to use an arm tool chain from https://launchpad.net/~team-gcc-arm-embedded/+archive/ubuntu/ppa I followed the steps there but when I type "arm-none-eabi-gcc -v" it says it can't find such file. I check other tutorials like http://marksolters.com/programming/2016/06/22/arm-toolchain-16-04.html they show the same instruction09:23
Angscan anyone help me how to make it work on Ubuntu 18.04?09:23
lotuspsychje!arm | Angs start here mate09:30
ubottuAngs start here mate: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel.09:30
=== java_master is now known as Taco
tomreynAngs: !ppa are generally not supported here, how to ask questions and file bugs about this PPA is explained in its description. A newer version of the gcc-arm-none-eabi package is available in Ubuntu 18.04 itself.09:33
tomreynAngs: the page by Mark Solters you pointed to states, in all red, on top, that the instructions provided below are obsolete, and you can just use the package available in Ubuntu proper.09:36
Angstomreyn, thank you. My problem is that I've just upgraded my ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04. I can compile my project without any problem, but the firmware doesn't work on the device. I've just installed 16.04 on VM and compiled the same project with the default compiler that the firmware works fine again.09:37
Angsdo you know what could be the issues?09:37
tarzeauAngs: what firmware?09:38
tomreynAngs: it is not possible to comment without further information on what you are trying to compile, and which architecture is used where.09:39
AngsI use a project on https://github.com/contiki-ng/contiki-ng for an embedded device (ARM M3), I am cross compiling the project on ubuntu09:39
tarzeauAngs: build log?09:40
tomreynSeek support from those who develop / maintain the firmware you are trying to build09:40
AngsI was thinking that maybe the default tool chain on new ubuntu is not compatible with it, I was trying to install an old version of the compiler to see if the version of the compiler is the issue09:41
Angsit is a very small community, I have been trying to write to them from yesterday, but I get no response.09:42
Angse.g., can I use old version of a compiler on ubuntu 18.04?09:42
Angsby using apt install?09:42
Angswhen I do apt install build-essentials etc. it installs the latest arm-none-eabi-gcc version09:43
tomreynAngs: i was wrong when i wrote that "A newer version of the gcc-arm-none-eabi package is available in Ubuntu 18.04 itself" - sorry. Apparently the current toolchain is available at https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads09:52
tomreynAngs: either way, this is not an Ubuntu support question, which is the scope of this channel. There is #ubuntu-offtopic also.09:53
Angsok thanks09:53
widp_Hello, I am looking for the list of default packages in Ubuntu Desktop 18.10 64-bit default packages09:54
widp_could someone point me to this?09:54
tomreynwidp_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/cosmic/ubuntu-18.10-desktop-amd64.manifest09:58
BMSTRHi, I have a problem on ubuntu 16.04. When running a simple bash script (while loop starting an application to send out a single ping -> this is just for testing purpose!) everything works fine. But when I create a .desktop file which starts the same script it looks like it is sent to sleep pretty often... On ubuntu mate desktop, just created a new autostart entry.10:01
tomreynwidp_: those are just the packages installed via apt(-get) / dpkg, though. i do not know how to determine the list of snaps which are installed by default.10:02
tomreynBMSTR: compare process priorities, maybe they differ.10:04
isomarigreetings, why can't I purge tracker without removing cairo-dock?10:05
tomreynisomari: maybe "cairo-dock" indirectly depends on "tracker" on your (undisclosed) ubuntu release on your (undisclosed) architecture?10:09
j0sephHi all. I wanted to know what applications in Ubuntu 18.04/10 (Desktop) use the snap GNOME 3.26 runtime package. Is it the GNOME snap apps (calculator, logs, etc.) that come with the system? I have removed those, so will I need the snap GNOME 3.26 runtime? Thanks10:14
isomaritomreyn: cosmic amd6410:16
isomaritomreyn: I have many machines and for some reason tracker got installed on only one of them. They all have cairo-dock.10:17
isomariis there a way to uninstall a package without it's dependencies? I know that could be problematic in most cases but in this case, the only non tracker package that it wants to remove is cairo-dock.10:19
EriC^^isomari: maybe 'sudo apt-get remove <package> <packageyouwanttokeep>+10:20
EriC^^'10:20
tomreynisomari: check "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported" on the system where it wants to remove it10:28

blackflowDbugger: there shouldn't be any difference in support, from what's given via upstream (the kernel really). There _could_ be some specific SAUCE patches for one or the other, but you'd have to look up the Ubuntu kernel changelogs to see if there are.10:55

Dbuggerbut if there are no real differences between i3, i5, i7, i9 or Rayzen, then it is not such a big problem11:03

gamesterI got a notification that there's only 1GB left in root/partition. I don't remember exact wording (but I have a 50GB partition that root is using). Anyway, I click on "examine problem" and it opens a program that shows that root is taking 17GB, not 49GB.12:49
gamesterSo which is it?12:50
jcottoncheck `df -h` in terminal12:50
jcottonwill you used/free for all partitions12:50
jcotton*will tell you12:51
gamesterok yeah 45G used, 48G size. Strange that the program used to "examine the problem" is so far off. Makes it also impossible to see where this data is. Is it hidden data that it's not seeing?12:51
gamesterprogram is "Disk Usage Analyzer"12:52
jcottonon Windows I would tell you to chkdsk in case the FS is disagreeing with itself12:52
jcottonnot sure about what's normal to do on Ubuntu though12:52

jcottonmaybe run the Disk Usage thing as root?12:55

qwebirc10113Hello, having problems trying to enable livepatch on an 18.04.02 LTS box. This is the output ( https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hjDgBBXJDv/ ) i keep getting, /snap/bin is in my PATH, the /snap/ file is there, i've also tried rebooting, uninstall/reinstall, with the same outcome... What am i overlooking?14:27
brlinqwebirc10113:  Try `sudo snap remove canonical-livepatch` and `sudo snap install canonical-livepatch` in a terminal14:39
brlinOh you've already done that, then what's the output of `snap run canonical-livepatch`?14:40
qwebirc10113@brlin ok, so that command `snap run canonical-livepatch` gave me the welcome msg14:41
brlinqwebirc10113: Can you list the contents in `/snap/bin`?14:43
qwebirc10113running the `enable` cmd from sudo gives "cmd not found" running it from reg user gives an error connectiong to daemon/permission denied.14:44
Mr_SheeshI've installed Ubuntu onto a thumb drive for a friend, it boots nicely (For now, has to be the Live test, software on the HDD she wants to keep!) but Ubuntu isn't seeing the WiFi device on her laptop (Realtek RTL8723DE); Not sure how to get the install to see her WiFi card, or if it'll be easier to just buy a USB 802.11 dongle that Linux DOES see. Anyone have a good idea here?14:45
qwebirc10113@brlin 'ls -a /snap/bin/` = `.  ..  canonical-livepatch  filebot`14:45
brlinqwebirc10113:14:46
brlinqwebirc10113: Hmm then the command should really work :-/14:46
brlinqwebirc10113: Does the enable command prefixed with `sudo snap run ` work?14:47
qwebirc10113@brlin That worked!14:48
leftyfbMr_Sheesh: why not just install ubuntu?14:48
brlinqwebirc10113: What is the output of `which canonical-livepatch`?14:48
brlinleftyfb: > (For now, has to be the Live test, software on the HDD she wants to keep!)14:49
qwebirc10113brlin: `/snap/bin/canonical-livepatch`14:49
leftyfbbrlin: dual boot14:50
Mr_Sheeshleftyfb She has some costly software on the HDD, she'd rather not lose it14:51
leftyfbMr_Sheesh: dual boot?14:51
brlinqwebirc10113: What's the output of `sudo grep secure_path /etc/sudoers`?14:51
leftyfbMr_Sheesh: troubleshooting/installing drivers in a live environment isn't meant to be easy14:51
Mr_Sheeshpossible but I'm not sure there's time to do that before they leave the area14:51
brlinMaybe it's isn't a live environment?14:52
leftyfbMr_Sheesh: it would definitely be quicker than troubleshooting driver issues on a live stick14:52
brlinYou do can install Ubuntu on a thumb drive with a poor I/O performance14:52
qwebirc10113brlin: ` Defaults        secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin" `14:52
Mr_SheeshTrue that. I can ask. Has the HDD space, half the HDD still open.14:52
brlinqwebirc10113: I have no idea why it didn't work directly in this case :-/14:53
qwebirc10113brlin: np. you were more than helpful.. if you dont mind me asking, what made you think to throw `sudo snap run` before the cmd? i tried googling `sudo snap run canonical-livepatch enable` (the cmd you suggested) but didnt find anything on SE/etc.. just interested in how your thought process worked towards that if ya dont mind. might help me out in the future.14:54

thneeHmm I am doing /etc/init.d/uwsgi start on ubuntu bionic and it says [fail] and returns 1. But my config should work, and the log is not showing any errors?15:04
leftyfbthnee: shouldn't you be using systemd?15:06
thneeleftyfb: I dunno, I am just testing that it works in a docker container right now.. systemd just calls the init script anyway15:08
leftyfbthnee: you want to run a container server in a docker container?15:08
leftyfbthnee: and, I'm not sure about uwsgi, but systemd service files should not just be calling init scripts. Not when written properly anyway15:09
thneeleftyfb: I am just using a docker container to test my uwsgi config locally. In prod it will be running in a VM, not in docker15:09
thneeIt's weird because when I run uwsgi directly with the same arguments as the init script uses, it works fine. So I'm really not sure why the init script for uwsgi is failing. There is so much custom shell code in /usr/share/uwsgi/init/do_command, kinda hard to follow15:17
ioriathnee, don't you have a  /var/log/uwsgi.log ?15:20
thneeioria: no, only /var/log/uwsgi/app/my_app.log15:22
ioriathnee, paste   sudo systemctl restart uwsgi15:24
thneeI don't understand in /usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini how does this work "pidfile = /run/uwsgi/%(deb-confnamespace)/%(deb-confname)/pid". When is that supposed to be substituted?15:24
thneeAnd I do have VERBOSE=yes in /etc/default/uwsgi, but that does not seem to do anything..15:25
ioriathnee, paste   sudo systemctl restart uwsgi15:26
thneeioria: I am not using systemd, since this is in a docker container15:27
ioriaah15:27
thneeBut systemd would just call the init.d script15:27
ioriathnee,   sudo service uwsgi status15:28
ioriaor /etc/init.d/uwsgi restart15:28
thneeioria: 1, just like the return code from /etc/init.d/uwsgi start15:28
ioriathnee,  uwsgi --ini /usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/mysite.ini15:29
thneeioria: fails with open("/run/uwsgi/%(deb-confnamespace)/%(deb-confname)/pid"): No such file or directory [core/utils.c line 3590]15:30
ioriathnee,  strace -f uwsgi --ini /usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/mysite.ini15:31
thneeioria: strace: ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, ...): Operation not permitted15:32

thneeand "+++ exited with 1 +++"15:32
ioriathnee,  i think yo uneed to stop it first (not sure)15:34
thneeioria: but if remove the problem with %(deb-confnamespace)/%(deb-confname), it works fine to run it with the otherwise default config file15:36
ioriaor might be not working in docker , idk15:36
thneeSo the init script somehow thinks that it failed, even though it doesnt. I can see that the processes were started just fine, but the init script says [fail] anyway15:37
ioriathenes, yes, and we're trying to get some infos about that15:38

xebrahi, does ubuntu check if firmware updates are available?16:46
pragmaticenigmaxebra: Can you be more specific?16:47
xebrapragmaticenigma, ok. This new UEFI thing allows the OS to flash the firmware and do weird things that once were not allowed. Last year I got "cpu microcode" updates (maybe to fix meltdown), and ubuntu installed that.16:49
xebraI wonder if Ubuntu checks for other UEFI/firmware updates too, or not, and how.16:50
pragmaticenigmaxebra: No, that sort of firmware is not typically downloaded automatically or installed. Ubuntu does download the microcode updates for processors, but that is loaded on each boot16:50
xebraok, so I think I might expect to see microcode vulnerabilities automatically fixed by Ubuntu, but I'd probably have to check myself for any other firmware updates16:52
leftyfbxebra: the fixes are loaded at boot16:52
leftyfbxebra: ubuntu does not automatically flash firmware onto any hardware16:53
leftyfbxebra: there's also patches in the kernel16:53
leftyfbxebra: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown16:53
pragmaticenigmaxebra: Correct, the microcode is loaded at every boot. The processor uses the microcode initially from firmware, and then when Ubuntu boots it replaces it with it's modified version. This however means Ubuntu will run with microcode fixes, but other OSes on the same machine will not (unless they provide their own updates)16:53
pragmaticenigmaxebra: Firmware updates provided by your system manufacture often require installation from windows. Which is why it's a good idea to either dual boot, or keep a separate disk with a windows installation available to install those updates. There are some tools that allow you to install the vendor firmwares from Ubuntu, but the come with a very high risk of system damage16:55
xebrawhat I'm saying is that if a fix for my firmware is available, I guess Ubuntu won't tell that to me, and would not upgrade it. So I guess I need to manually check for updates16:55
leftyfbxebra: what firmware?16:57
xebraleftyfb, the main firmware (motherboard)16:57
leftyfbxebra: ubuntu will typically release security and bugs with firmware (on boot as mentioned) as part of normal package updates16:57
pragmaticenigmaxebra: I think what you mean is BIOS update or UEFI updates16:58
leftyfbxebra: ubuntu will not automatically flash firmware16:58
xebraah, maybe now I get it. It updates the code, but only after boot, not by flashing the ROM. pragmaticenigma yeah, UEFI interface16:58

Alina-malinahey all is there any badass professional female->male voice converters on ubuntu?17:04
pragmaticenigmajcotton: You cannot change secure boot settings after the OS is installed17:08
pragmaticenigma!latest | aniketh17:08
ubottuaniketh: 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.17:08
jcottoneh? surely not17:08

ZteamAlina-malina, not really (as far as I know) you could try to fiddle with the voice in Audacity a bit perhaps, other than that, you might try to run some Windows stuff through Wine17:24
xebraI just used mokutil --db to see the keys, I also have a key from Canonical there, I don't know how it ended up there17:25
xebraI'd never heard of sbkeysync17:26
Alina-malinaZteam, ye audacity is good, but i am not sure if it can do it in real time ;-\17:26
Zteamxebra, :D17:27
xebraZteam, what are you laughing at? lol17:28
ZteamAlina-malina, hmm... you could try Ardour I guess, I never used it personaly but it it should be able to handle realtime audio perfectly, but it might be a bit overkill for your needs tho17:30
Zteamxebra, Sorry, man it appeared to be a joke, my bad :-)17:31
Deihmoshow do you use unattended updates with livepatch? do you disable security updates ?17:32
Alina-malinaok thanks Zteam  i will try that17:33
brlinDeihmos:17:33
xebraZteam, well, the thing is, I thought a key needed to be confirmed (with password) to add it to firmware/uefi/secure boot. I don't remember doing that for Canonical. But maybe I'm missing something17:33
xebraand then sbkeysync, there's no man page and I don't see much info on the net about it17:33
brlinDeihmos: Livepatch only deals with kernel patches, you still need security updates for others17:33
brlinxebra: I believe mokutil is the 2nd stage of the secure boot process17:34
EickmeyerAlina-malina: the Ubuntu Studio flavor is preconfigured for realtime audio, and includes a lot of realtime audio utilities.17:34

brlinCanonical uses its own key to validate the signed GRUB boot loader17:35
ZteamDeihmos, I don't belive that's needed, because security updates don't require root-priviliges to install, but I never tried it myself17:35

EickmeyerAnd, no, there are a number of tweaks that need to be done for realtime memory access and other things.17:38
EickmeyerHowever, in 19.04 and in our backports PPA there are faster ways of configuring.17:38
ZteamEickmeyer, I see, well.... All I can say is great work (and there is a reason I'd say "I believe" :-)17:40
EickmeyerZteam: Thanks. :)17:40
Alina-malinaok thanks Eickmeyer will look at it too, i just try to contact people on @audacity to make sure if i could use that in real time17:48

Randolflotuspsychje: Thanks for your help yesterday morning -- my HP Envy x360 laptop is working reliably now, and the reboot/shutdown process no longer freezes.  Login is also less than 1 second instead of taking more than 10 seconds too.22:46

RandolfTools and drivers, that is.22:47

jeremy31lotuspsychje: Did you get your bluetooth going?22:50
lotuspsychjejeremy31: yes, me and guiver_d fixxed the apple magic mouse with a git22:51
RandolfI'm curious about the "iptraf" package installed with apt -- it doesn't create a binary called "iptraf" but rather "iptraf-ng."  Is this a mistake, or is there a reason for adding the -ng part to the filename of the binary?22:51

stan_man_canHey all -- Just installed 18.04 and used ubuntu-drivers to install nvidia drivers, how can I check that they're working?23:15
EriC^^stan_man_can: lshw -c video23:17
EriC^^see the driver in use, also maybe try running glxgears23:18
stan_man_can@EriC^^:23:18
stan_man_canhttp://sc.etylogic.com/36f00587d35d23:18
p0wderan easy way is to go to settings > details23:18
stan_man_cansounds like it's good to go?23:18

stan_man_canthanks23:19
SysifossHi, I'm having this issue with pulseaudio where my audio gets staticy at times and requires me to run pulseaudio -k and restart whatever I was listening to or watching. I also have to kill pulse audio when I plug in an hdmi cable and want it to recognize the audio output of that display as a choice. My sound chip is an ALC892.23:19
stan_man_canany proper tutorial for setting a static IP in 18.04? i've found a few contrasting articles23:19
arooniis there any way to adjust how long notifications stay up on ubuntu 18.04?  it seems like they stay on way too long23:21
tilasb87 Hey everyone. I am looking for assistance with setting up my 3d printer on Ubuntu using replicatorG. Can anyone possibly help, or direct me somewhere to another channel where I may find help? Please and Thank you. I already tried asking in #3dprinters, but Everyone's sleeping at their desk I assume. lol.23:22
Bashing-omstan_man_can: See if https://blog.ubuntu.com/2017/12/01/ubuntu-bionic-netplan helps.23:23
stan_man_canIs this Cloud Image different than Server? I just went to ubuntu.com, clicked Download, then 18.04 LTS and it autodownlaoded ubuntu-18.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso but it seems to be cloud stuff?23:26
tilasb87yes, that would be the ISO to install ubuntu as a server. You would have no desktop environment. Just a terminal interface.23:28
stan_man_canthanks23:28
tilasb87No problem.23:29

MrCelerystedward: sorry, i actually typed it manually just then... i do have cifs in there .... let me retype //WINIP/Shared /media/drive1 cifs credentials=/home/smbcredsfile,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 023:55
