[00:06] <jcotton> :/
[00:07] <tomreyn> jcotton: if it annoys you that it shows in nautilus, the gnome file browser, then comment #22 has a workaround
[00:08] <jcotton> better thanks
[00:09] <Mr_Graey> Hello! Will someone help me resolve a minor Grub2 issue?
[00:11] <tomreyn> jcotton: this dpeends on the "nautilus-hide" package
[00:11] <Mr_Graey> I 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 10
[00:11] <jcotton> seemed to be pre-installed for me
[00:12] <tomreyn> ok
[00:13] <Mr_Graey> Had 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 working
[00:14] <Fieldy> tomreyn: did you happen to see what i directed towards you earlier here?
[00:14] <tomreyn> Fieldy: sorry, i missed it so far. let's see.
[00:15] <Fieldy> tomreyn: (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] <Fieldy> https://i.imgur.com/2cdPxGS.png is what i get
[00:15] <tomreyn> Fieldy: okay, first of all, i also pinged you here to report that i changed my mind and already posted a bug report.
[00:16] <tomreyn> bug 1822736
[00:16] <tomreyn> Fieldy: so ideally you can comment on / add to this instead.
[00:17] <xut> I would just try re-partitioning and reinstalling the whole thing again, Mr_Graey
[00:17] <Fieldy> tomreyn: ahh ok, yeah i missed that. i'll check it out!
[00:17] <tomreyn> Fieldy: 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.
[00:18] <tomreyn> thanks for checking the bug, let me know what you think
[00:18] <tomreyn> Fieldy: ^
[00:19] <Fieldy> tomreyn: 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 it
[00:19] <tomreyn> Mr_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_Graey> xut: Everything is running fine, just need the Grub loader to say Windows sda instead of sdb
[00:20] <jcotton> tomreyn: he'll also need ntfs-3g
[00:20] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: you may want to uninstall the "os-prober" package afterwards.
[00:20] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: and see what jcotton just said
[00:20] <Mr_Graey> jcotton?
[00:21] <jcotton> me
[00:21] <Mr_Graey> Oh
[00:21] <Mr_Graey> Binocular vision lol
[00:21] <tomreyn> Fieldy: thank you! you can subscribe to it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1822736/+subscribe
[00:22] <Mr_Graey> tomreyn, Didn't see os-prober in the repo
[00:23] <tomreyn> !info os-prober
[00:23] <jcotton> sudo apt install os-prober ntfs-3g
[00:23] <Mr_Graey> I see
[00:23] <Fieldy> that's nifty
[00:24] <tomreyn> Fieldy: and hopefully without timeouts ;)
[00:24] <Fieldy> yeah i got subbed
[00:24] <Fieldy> that bites that it also hits fedora and workstation 19
[00:25] <Fieldy> i've got a boatload of various distros all over the place, i might test others
[00:25] <tomreyn> that'd be great
[00:25] <Mr_Graey> jcotton, http://susepaste.org/view//31146345
[00:26] <Mr_Graey> Don't see it anywhere in the GUI
[00:26] <tomreyn> Fieldy: also, you can add yourself as affected if you like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/1822736/+affectsmetoo
[00:26] <qwebirc90415> hello
[00:27] <tomreyn> Fieldy: doing so doesn't really change much but may cause it to be trigaed a little faster
[00:27] <tomreyn> qwebirc90415: hi there
[00:27] <Fieldy> ah ok
[00:27] <Fieldy> will do
[00:27] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: they are not GUI applications. but you have them instaleld already. run "sudo update-grub"
[00:28] <qwebirc90415> can I format a used DVD clean to then download Linux iso on it?
[00:28] <jcotton> it needs to be a rewritable DVD (DVD-RW)
[00:28] <Fieldy> it would have to be a dvd-rw (haven't seen one in ages)
[00:28] <jcotton> does your computer not support USB booting though?
[00:28] <Fieldy> i honeslty forget the next step
[00:28]  * tomreyn hasn't seen DVD in ages
[00:28] <Mr_Graey> jcotton, http://susepaste.org/view//15073521
[00:28] <Mr_Graey> That look normal?
[00:29] <jcotton> well it found the Windows EFI entry
[00:29] <jcotton> as it's supposed to
[00:29] <Mr_Graey> Wrong partition I think though. I have Windows 10 on sda, a separate ssd
[00:29] <qwebirc90415> I don't know if my computer supports USB booting, but I was thinking to use a dvd and just reformat its content
[00:30] <qwebirc90415> if I can format it, then it would be a DVD-RW , right?
[00:30] <jcotton> yes
[00:30] <jcotton> but try USB first
[00:30] <bluetoothsucks> Sveta: No, it doesn't. Looking through the debian page now
[00:30] <jcotton> should support USB booting unless it's like pre-2005
[00:30] <jcotton> idk
[00:30] <jcotton> qwebirc90415: actually how old is it?
[00:30] <EriC^^> qwebirc90415: yeah, it usually says on the dvd, also they seem more purplish in color from my experience
[00:30] <qwebirc90415> I dont got a USB drive now, but plenty of DVD's
[00:32] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: what does this report? mount | grep /boot/efi
[00:33] <Mr_Graey> tomreyn, http://susepaste.org/view//32247762
[00:34] <Mr_Graey> https://imgur.com/a/LGKTGTS     https://imgur.com/a/sbscNJt     https://imgur.com/a/1BbY0YL
[00:34] <tomreyn> Mr_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, too
[00:35] <tomreyn>  /dev/sdb1 specifically.
[00:35] <tomreyn> so 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_Graey> In 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 sda
[00:36] <Mr_Graey> Only way I could get past the 0x80300024 error
[00:36] <jcotton> random question: the first partition of my NVMe SSD is denoted nvme0n1p1, with the SSD itself being nvme0n1
[00:36] <jcotton> why is that?
[00:37] <jcotton> is `nvme0` a controller?
[00:37] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: this looks like a windows error code. you will need to ask in ##windows
[00:37] <Mr_Graey> I fixed it. I unplugged sata cables for the other two drives, installed Windows 10 on its own ssd, replugged, adjusted UEFI boot order, etc
[00:37] <Mr_Graey> Now need Grub to work
[00:38] <tomreyn> jcotton: yes. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/452120/persistent-device-naming-for-nvme-storage-devices
[00:38] <Mr_Graey> I don't anticipate Windows people are gonna help me with Gurb
[00:38] <jcotton> they won't
[00:38] <Mr_Graey> Grub*
[00:39] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: I don't anticipate Linux people will help you with Windows.
[00:39] <jcotton> they'll redirect you to ##dual-boot and/or declare dual booting to be pointless
[00:39] <jcotton> well, one of them will do the latter
[00:39] <Mr_Graey> Nice
[00:39] <jcotton> >_>
[00:39] <jcotton> source: in there all the time
[00:40] <Mr_Graey> Looks empty in there
[00:40] <jcotton> ##dual-boot?
[00:40] <jcotton> yeah it is lol
[00:40] <Mr_Graey> jcotton, Yeah
[00:40] <Mr_Graey> tomreyn, How about Grub?
[00:41] <Mr_Graey> :D
[00:41] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: what about Grub?
[00:41] <Mr_Graey> Can haz halp preese?
[00:41] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: what ios not working as it should?
[00:41] <tomreyn> *is
[00:42] <Mr_Graey> When 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 screen
[00:44] <tomreyn> "P2" is an SSD model / vendor?
[00:44] <Mr_Graey> My mobo uefi lists sata port connections as p0, p1, p2, etc
[00:45] <tomreyn> okay SATA port 2
[00:45] <Mr_Graey> I have dvd drive p0, moved Windows to p1 in order to bypass silly error
[00:45] <Mr_Graey> Right
[00:46] <Mr_Graey> This is all because Windows 10 moaned the error, which upon researching, indicated it had a "preference" for being alpha
[00:46] <Mr_Graey> King Tut
[00:47] <Mr_Graey> I reorganized my sata connections in order to install Windows 10 to the empty ssd (formerly P3, now P1)
[00:47] <Mr_Graey> Linux, like the champ it is, was fine with all of this
[00:47] <Mr_Graey> Except Grub is a bit confused now... or Windows is... I know I am
[00:48] <tomreyn> Mr_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).
[00:49] <tomreyn> os-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_Graey> If 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 Windows
[00:49] <tomreyn> if s.-prober found this windows boot code, then it exists.
[00:49] <Mr_Graey> Windows is listed, but loads blue screen from Grub
[00:49] <tomreyn> *os-prober
[00:50] <Mr_Graey> Agreed
[00:50] <tomreyn> so 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 here
[00:50] <Mr_Graey> Ok ok
[00:51] <Mr_Graey> But the only way I know how to fix it is by fixing Grub
[00:51] <veni> hello
[00:51] <Mr_Graey> Can I delete the Windows efi from sdb?
[00:51] <Mr_Graey> That should help
[00:52] <veni> someboy to help me about bootloader?
[00:52] <Mr_Graey> You too? GAWD
[00:52] <tomreyn> for 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 override
[00:52] <Mr_Graey> Wanna sepuku together? A soldier's death
[00:53] <Mr_Graey> tomreyn, So if a user has to reinstall the other os, they have to reinstall the perfectly viable Ubuntu?
[00:53] <veni> Is it possible to install burg anymore?
[00:54] <tomreyn> Mr_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_Graey> I don't see how it could have, since I disconnected the ssd with Ubuntu on it
[00:54] <tomreyn> !info burg
[00:54] <Mr_Graey> At least, I did during installation
[00:55] <tomreyn> veni: Package burg does not exist in bionic
[00:55] <jcotton> what's burg?
[00:55] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: i assume you are not yet aware of how uefi booting works entirely differently to legacy bios booting, and recommend reading up on it
[00:56] <veni> burg is a gui bootloader
[00:56] <tomreyn> !uefi | Mr_Graey
[00:56] <Mr_Graey> tomreyn, Fair assumption
[00:56] <hggdh> jcotton: a boot loader. Code is/was in LP, but there has been no updates since around 2010
[00:57] <veni> !info burg
[00:57] <Mr_Graey> tomreyn, Ironically, I had just finished reading that link when I came in here
[00:58] <veni> even if i have kept the folder burg from my previous version of ubuntu?
[00:59] <Mr_Graey> This channel needs a new name. I vote SOL
[01:00] <hggdh> Mr_Graey: please keep on-topic
[01:00] <tomreyn> Mr_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 were
[01:00] <tomreyn> placed there by the installed OS. so all OS you have installed need to place their boot loaders there.
[01:01] <Mr_Graey> tomreyn, So if I delete the Windows efi thingie from the sdb chungus, it should look to the next one, which is on sda?
[01:03] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: i do not know what a "chungus" is. but no, that's not how it works.
[01:03] <tomreyn> firmware will use the first efi system partition (ESP) it finds, and only that.
[01:03] <Mr_Graey> Got it
[01:04] <Mr_Graey> If the ever hostile Windows fails, and I reinstall it, I must nuke everything and begin again
[01:04] <drewbert> Okay. 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_Graey> Microwave computer on high for 17 minutes or until kitchen is ablaze
[01:05] <Mr_Graey> I installed Ubuntu and Windows on separate drives specifically to avoid this
[01:05] <Mr_Graey> Is there no way to dual boot without this pitfall?
[01:06] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: there is no way to multi boot without pitfalls.
[01:06] <Mr_Graey> I guess I could ditch grub and just f12 everytime I power on
[01:07] <Mr_Graey> Seems like a grub issue. If I don't use Grub, I have no issue. Just f12 at boot, pick the drive, bam. Done
[01:07] <jcotton> rEFInd is another option as a boot loader
[01:07] <Mr_Graey> jcotton, Do tell. What is this?
[01:07] <jcotton> haven't used it much tho
[01:07] <Mr_Graey> Ah
[01:07] <jcotton> http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
[01:07] <tomreyn> Mr_Graey: it is not a grub issue if windows fails to boot, no.
[01:08] <Mr_Graey> Windows boots fine. Only grub fails
[01:08] <Mr_Graey> In my case
[01:08] <Mr_Graey> To think, I LIKED Grub
[01:08] <tomreyn> you reported a windows blue screen. that's windows failing to boot.
[01:08] <Mr_Graey> If I load port 2 SSD, Windows 10, vuala!
[01:09] <tomreyn> yes, read up on uefi, it's needed.
[01:11] <The_Graey_Man> Whoops
[01:12] <The_Graey_Man> jcotton, http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ Is pretty cool. What channel supports it?
[01:12] <The_Graey_Man> Surely not this one
[01:12] <Mr_Graey> Only if I use Grub on port 1 SSD, does Windows not boot
[01:12] <Mr_Graey> Grub is using the wrong partition. I think I should delete the old efi from p1 ssd (sdb)
[01:12] <Mr_Graey> Maybe interfering. Should all be UEFI though. No bios
[01:35] <Mythikos> How 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.
[01:36] <Mythikos> If it isn't possible, I'll just stick with Windows 10 and forget about Ubuntu. I need them to "get along"
[01:40] <leftyfb> Mythikos: 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.
[01:41] <Mythikos> leftyfb, I thought that might work, but Windows doesn't "like" being anything but first drive, or only drive... or both?
[01:42] <leftyfb> Mythikos: Windows will be fine
[01:42] <Mythikos> If I need to reinstall Windows, I fear I may have issues
[01:42] <tomreyn> leftyfb: Mythikos, who was previously here using nicknames Mr_Graey and The_Graey_Man, boots in UEFI mode.
[01:42] <leftyfb> Mythikos: when you reinstall Windows, unplug the Ubuntu drive temporarily
[01:42] <Mythikos> Well, I'm overhauling the system. Want to avoid this issue
[01:43] <leftyfb> tomreyn: ah, EFI adds a bit more complexity, but the overall setup should work roughly the same
[01:43] <Mythikos> leftyfb, I tried that, but then Grub gets messed up. It can't seem locate Windows
[01:43] <leftyfb> Mythikos: then rerun grub-update after reinstalling Windows
[01:43] <Mythikos> I'm willing to reinstall everything ground up. Just need advise
[01:44] <Mythikos> For some reason, that didn't work. I had really hoped and expected it would
[01:44] <leftyfb> Mythikos: when you have trouble with it, come here to get help with it
[01:44] <Mythikos> ...
[01:44] <Mythikos> Let me think a moment
[01:45] <Mythikos> https://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/
[01:45] <Mythikos> I tried that, the former, not the latter. But still no luck
[01:46] <ms_> hello
[01:47] <leftyfb> Mythikos: What is your issue at this moment?
[01:47] <Mythikos> I 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] <ms_> does anyone know how can i setup a vpn using ubuntu ?
[01:47] <Mythikos> Grub will not load Windows. I can only access Windows by booting that partition (drive) directly
[01:47] <leftyfb> ms_: vpn server or client?
[01:48] <leftyfb> Mythikos: grub will load Windows. Boot into Ubuntu and run grub-update and paste the output here
[01:48] <leftyfb> ms_: for server: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openvpn.html.en
[01:49] <Mythikos> leftyfb, http://susepaste.org/view//63935695
[01:49] <ms_> Thank u i am new to ubuntu
[01:50] <Mythikos> ms_, god speed
[01:50] <leftyfb> Mythikos: look at that, it detected and added Windows to your GRUB menu
[01:50] <Mythikos> I'll reboot and check it
[01:51] <Mythikos> leftyfb, I will note however that I tried this earlier
[01:51] <Mythikos> Maybe I did it wrong
[01:51] <leftyfb> Mythikos: these are things you mention first when you're asking for help
[01:51] <Mythikos> leftyfb, Apologies
[01:52] <Mythikos> Been at it nonstop for two days
[01:52] <Mythikos> Getting loopy
[01:53] <ms_> i still cant understand this openvpn
[01:53] <Mythikos> ms_, You tried Bitmask?
[01:54] <leftyfb> ms_: what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[01:55] <ms_> a vpn
[01:55] <leftyfb> ms_: can you be more specific? How will you use it exactly? What is your goal?
[01:55] <Mythikos> ms_, Try Bitmask out.https://bitmask.net/
[01:56] <ms_> i am from saudi arabia so alot of websites are blocked
[01:56] <Mythikos> https://bitmask.net/ ?
[01:56] <leftyfb> Mythikos: please don't suggest 3rd party, unsupported applications that are not necessary
[01:56] <leftyfb> ms_: ok, so you want a vpn client/service. Not run your own server
[01:56] <Mythikos> leftyfb, Okay
[01:57] <leftyfb> ms_: pick an online vpn service and follow their instructions for setting up Ubuntu to connect to their service.
[01:57] <Mythikos> leftyfb, Wouldn't that imply 3rd party?
[01:57] <ms_> alright thanks man
[01:58] <Mythikos> Because Bitmask is opensource, and ONLY supports Linux
[01:58] <leftyfb> Mythikos: 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] <Mythikos> It does? That's cool. Didn't realize
[01:59] <criptixo> hello
[02:00] <criptixo> can anyone hear me
[02:00] <leftyfb> !ask | criptixo
[02:00] <Mythikos> I'm going to reboot here soon. Just waiting on the Ubuntu 18.04 iso to download so I can make a boot drive

[02:38] <leftyfb> qwebirc44278: where did you download the iso from?
[02:38] <qwebirc44278> from the oficial ubuntu website
[02:38] <qwebirc44278> i downloaded the iso in torrent
[02:39] <qwebirc44278> the torrent option in the website
[02:39] <leftyfb> qwebirc44278: ok, I would maybe suggest using the mini.iso to install. Or spend the time to ge screenshots and troubleshoot your issue
[02:39] <baodown> qwebirc44278: since you’ve already got it to fail to boot (which is good but we don’t know if it’s a bad usb) I think it would be best if you could send a screenshot of what error you’re getting
[02:40] <leftyfb> qwebirc44278: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/cosmic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[02:40] <qwebirc44278>  ok
[02:40] <leftyfb> qwebirc44278: though, I do highly recommend going with the LTS version: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[02:46] <qwebirc44278> sorry, i cannot find the information online
[02:46] <qwebirc44278> and i cant take a screenshot of it
[02:47] <qwebirc44278> what program should i use to install ubuntu to my flash drive
[02:48] <baodown> Well that makes it difficult to diagnose. You can possibly append the output to a log then move it onto a separate partition for us to read but I think thatd be troublesome
[02:48] <tomreyn> qwebirc44278: personally i recommend using balena etcher, since it works on all major operating systems.
[02:48] <qwebirc44278> ok
[02:48] <tomreyn> you can download it at https://www.balena.io/etcher/
[02:48] <qwebirc44278> im installing balena etcher now
[02:49] <leftyfb> qwebirc44278: use etcher to flash the bionic (18.04) mini.iso I recommended above
[02:49] <qwebirc44278> ok
[02:53] <qwebirc44278> ok its finished
[02:53] <qwebirc44278> should shut down the computer now?
[02:53] <qwebirc44278> to boot it up?
[02:54] <qwebirc44278> hello?
[02:54] <tomreyn> qwebirc44278: at some point you'll need to, yes
[02:54] <qwebirc44278> ok
[02:55] <leftyfb> qwebirc44278: sure. When you are in the install, it will ask at some point which packages to install. Pick Ubuntu desktop as one of them
[02:55] <qwebirc44278> thanks
[02:55] <tomreyn> qwebirc44278: do you know how to make the computer boot from the usb?
[02:55] <qwebirc44278> yes
[02:55] <tomreyn> qwebirc44278: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#0
[02:57] <qwebirc44278> ok im gonna boot it now, thanks for the help guys
[02:57] <probs> Hi, I downloaded ubuntu for windows and I'm curious if someone can help me understand something with regard to github
[02:57] <tomreyn> qwebirc44278: good luck!
[02:57] <tomreyn> !ufw | probs
[02:58] <tomreyn> sorry, ignore this.
[02:58] <probs> my project in github has makefile. will the ubuntu terminal be able to run this makefile?
[02:59] <tomreyn> probs: 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] <tomreyn> give it a try.
[03:00] <probs> is there a way to connect the ubuntu to my github project?
[03:01] <tomreyn> !wsl | probs: We are happy to help with any generic Ubuntu questions here. For WSL specific questions read on
[03:01] <probs> nevermind, I think I already have it on my computer
[03:01] <probs> ok thank you
[03:02] <qwebirc20640> hello?
[03:02] <tomreyn> probs: there's also a #github channel. generally, all you'll need to use git repositories is a "git" client. you can install the package of the same name.
[03:02] <tomreyn> qwebirc20640: hello.
[03:02] <probs> I think I already have that
[03:02] <probs> I downloaded a whole lot of stuff I have no idea how to use. I'll try the github channel
[03:03] <qwebirc20640> i need help installing ubuntu
[03:03] <tomreyn> qwebirc20640: welcome back.
[03:03] <tomreyn> what's not working out, yet?
[03:03] <qwebirc20640> when i click install in the boot menu it just puts a black screen
[03:03] <tomreyn> probs: good luck.
[03:04] <probs> thank you
[03:04] <tomreyn> qwebirc20640: do you know which hardware you have there?
[03:04] <qwebirc20640> Lenovo Thinkpad L420
[03:04] <tomreyn> qwebirc20640: is this an nvidia graphics card?
[03:05] <qwebirc20640> nope
[03:05] <qwebirc20640> intel core i5
[03:05] <qwebirc20640> wait by hardware you mean like the computer im using?
[03:06] <tomreyn> yes, the computer you are trying to install ubuntu on
[03:07] <tomreyn> Lenovo Thinkpad L420 seems to come with i5-2410M, i5-2520M, org i5-2540M. with integrated Intel HD 3000 Graphics. and maybe a dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 565v graphics chipset.
[03:08] <tomreyn> RAM is 2GB or 4GB by default (8GB max). 2 GB can be a bit short for Ubuntu 18.10.
[03:08] <qwebirc30430> 4gb
[03:10] <qwebirc30430> hello?
[03:10] <Sveta> hi, qwebirc30430
[03:10] <tomreyn> qwebirc30430: are you able to try booting into the installer again while remaining on the chat here?
[03:11] <qwebirc30430> im in my phone right now talking to you
[03:11] <tomreyn> qwebirc30430: good, so you can also take photos of your screen when it fails to boot.
[03:11] <qwebirc30430> yeah
[03:11] <tomreyn> and upload them to imgur.com, for example
[03:11] <qwebirc30430> how can i send you the photos
[03:12] <tomreyn> qwebirc30430: you upload them to some image hosting site (such as imgur.com) and then post the web address of where you posted them here
[03:12] <Sveta> probs: "connect the ubuntu to my github project" means using a git client, I think, it is possible
[03:12] <Sveta> hi, qwebirc78068
[03:13] <qwebirc78068> how can i send you the photos
[03:13] <tomreyn> qwebirc78068: it would help us communicating with you if you had a stable internet connection.
[03:13] <tomreyn> qwebirc78068: you upload them to some image hosting site (such as imgur.com) and then post the web address of where you posted them here
[03:14] <qwebirc78068> this time it was because i exited the page trying to enter imgur.cim
[03:14] <qwebirc78068> com*
[03:14] <tomreyn> that's probably why it prompts you as to whether you really want to go elsewehre
[03:15] <qwebirc78068> yeah
[03:16] <qwebirc78068> wait im gonna try to upload the images to imgur and send the link
[03:16] <tomreyn> i 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.
[03:18] <qwebirc78068> i cannot even hit escape or do ctrl+alt+F3
[03:18] <qwebirc78068> its just a black screen with nothing
[03:18] <qwebirc78068> freezed
[03:19] <tomreyn> qwebirc78068: which installer ISO file did you use?
[03:19] <qwebirc78068> the mini.iso you sended me
[03:19] <tomreyn> qwebirc78068: did etcher report that the data written to the installer usb stick was verified successfully?
[03:19] <qwebirc78068> yes
[03:20] <tomreyn> qwebirc78068: ok, give me a minute i will see what other options we have
[03:20] <qwebirc78068> ok
[03:21] <qwebirc14555> ok im back
[03:23] <tomreyn> qwebirc14555: do you get to see this screen? https://i.imgur.com/MLVN2fc.png
[03:23] <qwebirc14555> yes
[03:23] <tomreyn> so it's not actually just black
[03:23] <qwebirc14555> but when i press install, the black screen appears
[03:25] <tomreyn> okay, instead of selecting "install" there, select "command-line install"
[03:25] <qwebirc14555> ok
[03:28] <qwebirc88101> sorry i disconnected again
[03:28] <tomreyn> yes, all the time ;)
[03:28] <qwebirc88101> the same black screen appears
[03:28] <tomreyn> okay, reboot to the installer boot menu again
[03:28] <qwebirc88101> ok
[03:29] <qwebirc88101> one thing, do i need uefi or legacy bios to be able to do this?
[03:30] <tomreyn> then press "tab", then move the cursor to the left, replacing vga=788 by vga=771
[03:30] <tomreyn> either should work fine
[03:30] <qwebirc88101> on command-line install
[03:30] <tomreyn> personally i would recommend uefi
[03:31]  * CyberManifest doesn't have uefi
[03:31] <tomreyn> not on "command-line install" but on standard "install"
[03:34] <tomreyn> qwebirc88101: i'll be away from keyboard for 5 minutes, don't despair
[03:35] <qwebirc30029> it didn't work :(
[03:37] <qwebirc30029> this kind of problem has happend to me several times, trying to install windows 8, windows 10, pop os, etc
[03:38] <qwebirc30029> could this problem be happening because i dont have Access to the legacy bios?
[03:39] <qwebirc30029> teyrom ( i think its like that your name) are you still there?
[03:40] <tomreyn> qwebirc30029: it's tomreyn
[03:40] <tomreyn> ;-)
[03:41] <qwebirc9694> ok
[03:41] <tomreyn> qwebirc9694: or you, i guess
[03:41] <tomreyn> 3 minutes have passed, your nickname changed
[03:41] <tomreyn> qwebirc9694: why does it change so often?
[03:41] <qwebirc9694> yea i dont have a stable connection
[03:42] <qwebirc9694> and the page disconnects me
[03:42] <tomreyn> qwebirc9694: are you sure the iso file downloaded properly then?
[03:42] <Mead> use /nick to define a unique one everytime you reconnect
[03:42] <qwebirc9694> yes
[03:42] <tomreyn> qwebirc9694: how can you be sure?
[03:43] <qwebirc9694> it installed succesfully and etcher said that the flash was successful
[03:43] <tomreyn> do you still have the iso file you downloaded?
[03:43] <lynx> yes
[03:43] <tomreyn> can you tell me its file site in bytes?
[03:44] <tomreyn> that is, single bytes, not megabytes or kilobytes
[03:44] <Mead> what type of kernel events trigger enteries into the kernel ring buffer?
[03:45] <lordcirth_> Mead, everything you see in 'dmesg'?
[03:45] <tomreyn> Mead: a lot. but not nearly all. what are you trying to achieve there?
[03:46] <probs> does anyone here use github? #github is dead
[03:46] <tomreyn> Guest97348: the "lynx" nickname was a good try, but it is already taken by someone else, so you're now Guest97348
[03:46] <tomreyn> Guest97348: you can try using a more specific one, such as lynx12345
[03:47] <tomreyn> probs: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[03:48] <Mead> tomreyn: 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 displays
[03:48] <tomreyn> Mead: have you read the man page, yet?
[03:49] <tomreyn> it may help you find your own words to describe it.
[03:50] <probs> can ubuntu run makefiles?
[03:50] <Mead> yes 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,
[03:51] <lordcirth_> probs, the 'make' command uses makefiles. You can easily install it. I recommend installing 'build-essential'
[03:52] <probs> https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/build-essential
[03:53] <probs> amd64 you think? I'm on windows and nothing else there seems familiar
[03:53] <lordcirth_> probs, just run 'sudo apt install build-essential', same as all other software
[03:53] <tomreyn> Mead: there'S a good enough explanation here https://www.computerhope.com/unix/dmesg.htm
[03:53] <lordcirth_> well, most
[03:53] <tomreyn> Mead: about circular buffers: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/circular-buffers.txt
[03:55] <probs> thank you. Do you experience with build-essential?
[03:56] <Mead> tomreyn: 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.
[03:57] <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] <Mead> tomreyn: 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.
[04:00] <probs> correct. 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 makefile
[04:00] <tomreyn> Mead: 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.
[04:01] <probs> I 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'
[04:02] <probs> I still don't. how can I access files on my computer using this?
[04:03] <Eickmeyer> probs: You're using Ubuntu's Windows Subsystem for Linux, correct?
[04:04] <lordcirth_> !wsl | probs
[04:04] <probs> yes I am
[04:04] <probs> actually, one moment. let me make sure
[04:04] <Eickmeyer> probs: I'll give you a hint, even though you've been redirected to the correct room.
[04:05] <probs> I downlaoded 'ubuntu' from the microsoft app store
[04:05] <Eickmeyer> Yes, that's Ubuntu on WSL.
[04:05] <Eickmeyer> if you "cd /mnt" and then type "ls" you'll see your drive letters (c, d, etc.)
[04:05] <Eickmeyer> That's where you can access your files.
[04:06] <Eickmeyer> Further than this, though, you'll want to try the #ubuntu-on-windows room.
[04:06] <probs> thank you
[04:08] <tomreyn> probs: 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.
[04:09] <probs> It's just in my assignment so I'm using it
[04:10] <tomreyn> homework assignment?
[04:10] <probs> yeah
[04:10] <lordcirth_> probs, you may find this useful as well: https://linuxjourney.com/
[04:11] <tomreyn> !terminal | probs
[04:11] <probs> Yeah
[04:11] <probs> I don't use terminals or linux or ubuntu or any of these things at home
[04:13] <tomreyn> maybe that's something you should change ;)
[04:13] <probs> at a minimum for the sake of my grades
[04:13] <probs> I can't even complete projects that require makefiles
[04:14] <probs> because 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 done
[04:14] <newname> hi
[04:14] <probs> maybe this'll help though, thank you
[04:17] <tomreyn> probs: 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.
[04:19] <probs> I 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 terminal
[04:20] <lordcirth_> probs, as I posted earlier, https://linuxjourney.com/ will help with that
[05:18] <Hangar> hola
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> !es | Hangar
[05:23] <dsag> can i know how cpu load and cpu utilization is calculated.. there are multiple length articles in internet definetely.. but would be great if someone can help me understand in 2 or 3 lines
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> dsag: perhaps more a question for ##hardware
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> dsag: or is your issue ubuntu related?
[05:25] <dsag> lotuspsychje: alright
[05:29] <kimo> 。。。
[05:30] <tarzeau> dsag: http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-08-08/linux-load-averages.html
[05:30] <tarzeau> lotuspsychje_: it's linux
[05:31] <dsag> tarzeau: i have seen this, this is really hard to grasp
[05:31] <dsag> would you mind if you can brief me
[05:31] <lotuspsychje__> tarzeau: did he mention?
[05:31] <tarzeau> lotuspsychje__: no, but i'd assume since he's asking in here
[05:32] <tarzeau> dsag: if you pay me, you can also check the source code of linux, www.kernel.org
[05:32] <lotuspsychje__> :p
[05:32] <dsag> lol
[05:33] <tarzeau> now that there's apple pay cash? i'll tell all kinds of stories for a few bucks ;)
[05:33] <dsag> haha are u serious?
[05:33] <tarzeau> absolutely
[05:34] <dsag> ok let me come in DM
[06:52] <dsag> lets say i have a c binary or a node js binary. now i want to understand how this tool works.. what does it do.. how do i really go about this..
[06:52] <dsag> should i be doing an strace?
[06:54] <tomreyn> you inspect the source code. but that's not an ubuntu support question, is it?
[06:54] <tomreyn> !ot
[07:10] <dsag> tomreyn: lets say i did not have the source code and i had only the binary
[07:11] <tomreyn> dsag: you could do a web search about it, or ask in an irc channel where it's not off-topic
[07:34] <jiyjick> EXIT

[07:35] <Trangar> :q
[07:49] <evg1> how to install packet with keyboard layouts? I missed it in the instalation process.
[07:50] <NTQ> On my server entropy seems to be low all the time, which means that entropy_avail is lower than 200 most of the time. Can I find out which program uses that much /dev/random?
[07:52] <guiverc> evg1: this maybe helpful - https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/keyboard-layouts.html  (sorry I can't help further)
[07:55] <Trangar> My ssh server just died randomly, and while fixing it I noticed that it depended on openssh-client 7.7p1-4 but I had 7.7p1-4Ubuntu installed, anyone know if something changed in that area?
[07:55] <Trangar> I can't imagine force upgrading or pinning a package/dependency
[07:56] <pa> hi
[07:56] <pa> how do i install a gtk2 theme?
[07:58] <tomreyn> Trangar: 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 version
[07:59] <Trangar> tomreyn: is there any chance the security patch could have been installed without apt checking for a dependency?
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> !themes | pa
[08:01] <tomreyn> Trangar: 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] <evg1> guiverc thanks
[08:02] <tomreyn> Trangar: openssh-server versions are the same
[08:11] <Trangar> tomreyn: 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 systemctl
[08:12] <Trangar> I ended up downgrading to openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4 and that made the openssh-server able to start again
[08:13] <Trangar> My 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 something
[08:13] <Trangar> was depending on openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4*
[08:16] <tomreyn> Trangar: 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.
[08:17] <Trangar> I have openssh-server 1:7.7p1-4 installed, and apt doesn't seem interested in upgrading it
[08:17] <Trangar> But I'm guessing openssh-client was upgraded to 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3 without openssh-server being upgraded
[08:18] <tomreyn> Trangar: 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.
[08:19] <tomreyn> Trangar: openssh-client would not have been upgraded to a higher version if openssh-server depended on an exact lower version
[08:20] <Trangar> Hmm security is not enabled
[08:21] <Trangar> Then how did I get openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3 ...
[08:21] <tomreyn> via -updates
[08:21] <Trangar> But openssh-server p1-4ubuntu0.3 is only in security?
[08:21] <tomreyn> no
[08:22] <tomreyn> it's in both -security and -updates
[08:22] <Trangar> I don't have -updates either
[08:22] <tomreyn> but it still does not make sense that openssh-client would be upgraded to a version differing from the one the openssh-server depends on.
[08:23] <Trangar> These are the only ubuntu ppa's I have as far as I can see https://paste.rs/th0
[08:23] <Trangar> These should not have installed openssh-client p1-4ubuntu0.3, right?
[08:24] <tomreyn> these are not PPAs but standard ubuntu archive mirrors
[08:24] <tomreyn> and no, only the release version is available from these, in the main section
[08:25] <Trangar> Then I need to figure out how I got a newer version of openssh-client on my machine
[08:25] <tomreyn> maybe someone who took over your system wanted to make sure they have a current openssh-client installed
[08:25] <Trangar> I'm hoping nobody has access to my system
[08:25] <tomreyn> well, you didn't have security patches for the past half year
[08:26] <Trangar> I don't think it makes sense that someone would install a secure version of openssh-client, if they had unauthorized access to my machine
[08:27] <tomreyn> not 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 upgrade
[08:28] <Trangar> Couldn't I just enable security in sources.list and update?
[08:28] <tomreyn> if you still want to determine what happened in terms of packages updates, inspect the logs at /var/log/apt/
[08:29] <tomreyn> enabling 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.

[08:32] <Trangar> Why did this mark openssh-server to be removed?
[08:34] <Trangar> I've had openssh-server since 2019-03-05, but apt suddenly marked it as "should be removed"
[08:35] <Trangar> openssh-server 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.2*
[08:35] <Trangar> Err .3, I was reading that wrong
[08:36] <tomreyn> the log you posted is from today
[08:36] <Trangar> Yes, today apt marked openssh-server as "Remove"
[08:36] <Trangar> Even though it's been installed for almost a month
[08:37] <Trangar> Or rather, I upgraded from Ubuntu0.2 to Ubuntu0.3 a month ago
[08:37] <Trangar> And now apt can't install Ubuntu0.3 :D
[08:38] <tomreyn> i 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/aptlog
[08:38] <qwebirc58340> Hello, we just tried to install ubuntu 18.04.2 server and on network configuration selecting info option on the interface menu throws python error "AttributeError: "NetworkDev" object has no attribute '_net_info'""
[08:38] <qwebirc58340> and restarts the whole installation
[08:38] <lotuspsychje> join #ubuntu-server qwebirc58340 please
[08:39] <qwebirc58340> thank you lotuspsychje
[08:40] <tomreyn> qwebirc58340: read up on bug 1816954 - workaround in comment 4
[08:41] <tomreyn> Trangar: also this: ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:42] <Trangar> tomreyn: does paste.rs work? https://paste.rs/QXe
[08:43] <Trangar> From 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 p1-4
[08:43] <Trangar> And I'm not sure why apt can't find it, even now it says that p1-4 is the latest version
[08:44] <Trangar> Ah because I used deb-src instead of deb, now it works again
[08:45] <tomreyn> Trangar: parste.rs works for me. the output shows that you have (common) packages installed but no apt source configured for it. this still suggests a serious apt source misconfiguration.
[08:45] <tomreyn> ok, you just explained it.
[08:46] <Trangar> I'm not sure if there's a way to figure out how the security repo got disabled
[08:46] <Trangar> But otherwise everything seems fine now
[08:46] <tomreyn> once you have your apt sources fixed, you can re-run both oneliners i provided
[08:46] <tomreyn> apt repositories get disabled by someone manually disabling them, there is no other explanation.
[08:47] <tomreyn> well, theoretically any process which could write to sources.list could do it, but hopefully you dont have such.
[08:47] <Trangar> It might've gotten messed up because I tried to make the GUI updater not prompt me that there are updates
[08:47] <tomreyn> ...at least none other than those taking manual input from you
[08:49] <Trangar> ubuntu-support-status: https://paste.rs/feJ - /tmp/aptlog: https://paste.rs/oJ4
[08:54] <tomreyn> Trangar: ubuntu-support-status: no apt source for "cups" sounds wrong.
[08:57] <markus_d> I cannot login into my fresh installed mysql server. Did something change for 5.7 version?
[08:59] <Trangar> tomreyn: i was probably playing around with it and removed the repo afterwards
[09:01] <tomreyn> Trangar: 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) again
[09:03] <tomreyn> markus_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.
[09:04] <tomreyn> markus_d: if you are asking whether mysql-server authentication mechanisms changed as a result of an ubuntu release upgrade:

[09:23] <Angs> Hi, 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 instruction
[09:23] <Angs> can anyone help me how to make it work on Ubuntu 18.04?
[09:30] <lotuspsychje> !arm | Angs start here mate
[09:33] <tomreyn> Angs: !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.
[09:36] <tomreyn> Angs: 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.
[09:37] <Angs> tomreyn, 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] <Angs> do you know what could be the issues?
[09:38] <tarzeau> Angs: what firmware?
[09:39] <tomreyn> Angs: it is not possible to comment without further information on what you are trying to compile, and which architecture is used where.
[09:39] <Angs> I use a project on https://github.com/contiki-ng/contiki-ng for an embedded device (ARM M3), I am cross compiling the project on ubuntu
[09:40] <tarzeau> Angs: build log?
[09:40] <tomreyn> Seek support from those who develop / maintain the firmware you are trying to build
[09:41] <Angs> I 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 issue
[09:42] <Angs> it is a very small community, I have been trying to write to them from yesterday, but I get no response.
[09:42] <Angs> e.g., can I use old version of a compiler on ubuntu 18.04?
[09:42] <Angs> by using apt install?
[09:43] <Angs> when I do apt install build-essentials etc. it installs the latest arm-none-eabi-gcc version
[09:52] <tomreyn> Angs: 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/downloads
[09:53] <tomreyn> Angs: either way, this is not an Ubuntu support question, which is the scope of this channel. There is #ubuntu-offtopic also.
[09:53] <Angs> ok thanks
[09:54] <widp_> Hello, I am looking for the list of default packages in Ubuntu Desktop 18.10 64-bit default packages
[09:54] <widp_> could someone point me to this?
[09:58] <tomreyn> widp_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/cosmic/ubuntu-18.10-desktop-amd64.manifest
[10:01] <BMSTR> Hi, 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.
[10:02] <tomreyn> widp_: 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.
[10:04] <tomreyn> BMSTR: compare process priorities, maybe they differ.
[10:05] <isomari> greetings, why can't I purge tracker without removing cairo-dock?
[10:09] <tomreyn> isomari: maybe "cairo-dock" indirectly depends on "tracker" on your (undisclosed) ubuntu release on your (undisclosed) architecture?
[10:14] <j0seph> Hi 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? Thanks
[10:16] <isomari> tomreyn: cosmic amd64
[10:17] <isomari> tomreyn: I have many machines and for some reason tracker got installed on only one of them. They all have cairo-dock.
[10:19] <isomari> is 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.
[10:20] <EriC^^> isomari: maybe 'sudo apt-get remove <package> <packageyouwanttokeep>+
[10:20] <EriC^^> '
[10:28] <tomreyn> isomari: check "ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported" on the system where it wants to remove it
[10:28] <tomreyn> ...and compare to the others
[10:53] <Dbugger> between AMD and Intel, is there a better option for support under Ubuntu?
[10:55] <Mystified> hey guys, a long term user of linux & ubuntu
[10:55] <Mystified> BUT
[10:55] <blackflow> Dbugger: 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] <Mystified> Im about to toss in ubuntu, if i cant find  a fix
[10:56] <Mystified> i have lenova yoga
[10:56] <Dbugger> blackflow, thanks
[10:56] <Mystified> laptop/tablet 8th gen i%
[10:56] <blackflow> Dbugger: "SAUCE" are Ubuntu specific patches to the kernel, not yet upstreamed.
[10:56] <Mystified> i5
[10:56] <blackflow> !enter | Mystified
[10:56] <Mystified> but unable to have "right click " mouse features..
[10:57] <Mystified> right cllick does work
[10:57] <Mystified> but using it only works once in a blue moon on apps like browser
[10:58] <Mystified> ok ubottu
[10:58] <Mystified> its so frustrating even in qbittorrent I cant click on anything
[10:59] <Mystified> unable to copy & paste into new links
[11:00] <tomreyn> Dbugger: were you referring to CPU's, graphics cards, something else entirely?
[11:03] <Dbugger> tomreyn, just CPUs, i gotta buy a new motherboard, and that means also CPU, so I was wondering what to chose
[11:03] <Dbugger> but if there are no real differences between i3, i5, i7, i9 or Rayzen, then it is not such a big problem
[11:10] <tomreyn> Dbugger: so i concur, for current generation CPUs it shouldn't matter.
[11:10] <Dbugger> tomreyn, thanks
[11:10] <JimBuntu> Mystified, 'right-click' may be a two-finger gesture in this case... or at least more reliable as such... that is how it is with one of my Lenovo's.
[11:11] <Mystified> thanks ill try
[11:11] <Mystified> :) JimBuntu
[11:11] <JimBuntu> Mystified, working better now?
[11:11] <Mystified> too early to tell
[11:12] <Mystified> need try on other apps
[11:12] <Mystified> so far so good
[11:12] <Mystified> I'm a lot happier now
[11:13] <Mystified> I was about to try the new fedora to see if right clicked on that os
[11:13] <JimBuntu> Mystified, cool, hopefully it keeps working well. I don't care for it working this way either... some updated touchpad. Best wishes.
[11:13] <Mystified> I cant stand fedora
[11:14] <Mystified> How can i resize the touch screen keyboard on ubuntu
[11:14] <Mystified> i mostly use the keyboard
[11:16] <Mystified> in a lot of the apps im unable to use touch screen
[11:16] <Mystified> like here i use konversation
[11:16] <os_> hi, i wonder why monodevelop isn't packaged any more, does it have some vulnerables or something?
[11:17] <Mystified> when touch the screen to type no keyboard popss up but mouse gestures work
[11:20] <tomreyn> os_: https://bugs.debian.org/893860
[11:21] <os_> tomreyn, thanks
[11:22] <tomreyn> os_: i suspect vscode may be considered a replacement by some.
[11:23] <os_> nice

[12:00] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:05] <pjmava> Hello BluesKaj
[12:06] <BluesKaj> hi pjmava
[12:07] <pjmava> I have joined this group recently. (I am new to IRC)
[12:11] <lordcirth_> pjmava, hello and welcome. This the Ubuntu support channel. If you want to chat, join #ubuntu-discuss :)
[12:12] <pjmava> Hey lordcirth, Thank you.
[12:49] <gamester> I 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.
[12:50] <gamester> So which is it?
[12:50] <jcotton> check `df -h` in terminal
[12:50] <jcotton> will you used/free for all partitions
[12:51] <jcotton> *will tell you
[12:51] <gamester> ok 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?
[12:52] <gamester> program is "Disk Usage Analyzer"
[12:52] <jcotton> on Windows I would tell you to chkdsk in case the FS is disagreeing with itself
[12:52] <jcotton> not sure about what's normal to do on Ubuntu though
[12:54] <gamester> it looks like I need to run fsck which means booting into something else first
[12:55] <jcotton> maybe run the Disk Usage thing as root?
[12:55]  * jcotton shurgs
[12:55] <jcotton> *shrugs
[12:55] <gamester> if only ubuntu/gnome's UI would allow that somehow? Else I have to use the console and for that I have to find the executable path, and the UI also does not show where it is.
[12:57] <rypervenche> jcotton: Are any other partitions that low? Perhaps it's misreading the partition.
[12:58] <jcotton> eh?
[12:58] <jcotton> did you mean to ask gamester?
[12:58] <rypervenche> I did indeed :)
[12:59] <gamester> I don't see any other partitions that low. Only /dev/loop stuff which is some snap thing
[13:16] <lordcirth_> gamester, 'ncdu' is really nice for seeing where the space went.
[13:26] <black_13> what is a good remote desktop that i can connect from my imac to an ubuntu machine and us the apple mouse
[13:28] <widp_> hello, I have this card reader: https://www.saturn.de/de/product/_isy-icr-510-2220663.html
[13:28] <widp_> it doesn't seem to show up in /media/
[13:28] <widp_> should I install drivers?
[13:29] <jcotton> after you stick in a card?
[13:29] <widp_> yes
[13:30] <widp_> lsusb shows it though
[13:31] <widp_> so I am wondering if I should mount it or something
[13:33] <Guest37955> No. The media should be automatically mounted.
[13:34] <widp_> so what could be wrong and how do I figure that out?
[13:34] <widp_> this is the device that shows up in lsusb: Bus 001 Device 009: ID 05e3:0727 Genesys Logic, Inc. microSD Reader/Writer
[13:40] <Nin> Hello
[13:41] <Guest37955> widp_: Follow the syslog and see what happens when you plug in a memory card when the adapter is connected
[13:42] <Guest37955> widp_: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[13:46] <vlt> Hello. How to find out if Ubuntu will work on a "HP ProBook 440 G6 6HM57ES"?
[13:50] <BluesKaj> vlt, try ubuntu on live media like usb or dvd
[13:53] <RonaldsMazitis> hello
[13:53] <RonaldsMazitis> I am trying to run thugpro - thug2 mod
[13:53] <RonaldsMazitis> on ubuntu
[13:53] <RonaldsMazitis> seems like You can't get installer online anymore
[13:54] <RonaldsMazitis> so I install on win and copy files to linux, problem is once You install, it asks where original thug2 files are located
[13:54] <leftyfb> RonaldsMazitis: go to #winehq for help with installing Windows applications in wine
[13:54] <RonaldsMazitis> can't choose where they are located on ubuntu
[13:55] <leftyfb> RonaldsMazitis: we can only support software in the official ubuntu repositories
[13:56] <Captain_Haddock> Or try installing it via Lutris. I'm not sure if they have an IRC channel for support, but they do have one on Discord.
[14:02] <q9> Hi, when try to open templates, libreoffice starts lstating every file on my machine which takes forever. How do I prevent that?
[14:09] <thebishop> hi all, i just got a shiny new HP Spectre x360 13" laptop running ubuntu 19.04 beta. mostly the hardware support seems OK, but i have a few issues which line up with Arch linux's community documentation.  is there an ubuntu-specific place i should go to report these issues?  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_Spectre_x360_-_13-ap0xxxx
[14:10] <blackflow> thebishop: what kind of issues? it might be wise to file a bug report against a package responsible for the subsystem
[14:11] <leftyfb> !ubuntu+1 | thebishop
[14:11] <thebishop> leftyfb, thanks, i'll go there
[14:27] <qwebirc10113> Hello, 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?
[14:39] <brlin> qwebirc10113:  Try `sudo snap remove canonical-livepatch` and `sudo snap install canonical-livepatch` in a terminal
[14:40] <brlin> Oh you've already done that, then what's the output of `snap run canonical-livepatch`?
[14:41] <qwebirc10113> @brlin ok, so that command `snap run canonical-livepatch` gave me the welcome msg
[14:43] <brlin> qwebirc10113: Can you list the contents in `/snap/bin`?
[14:44] <qwebirc10113> running the `enable` cmd from sudo gives "cmd not found" running it from reg user gives an error connectiong to daemon/permission denied.
[14:45] <Mr_Sheesh> I'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`
[14:46] <brlin> qwebirc10113:
[14:46] <brlin> qwebirc10113: Hmm then the command should really work :-/
[14:47] <brlin> qwebirc10113: Does the enable command prefixed with `sudo snap run ` work?
[14:48] <qwebirc10113> @brlin That worked!
[14:48] <leftyfb> Mr_Sheesh: why not just install ubuntu?
[14:48] <brlin> qwebirc10113: What is the output of `which canonical-livepatch`?
[14:49] <brlin> leftyfb: > (For now, has to be the Live test, software on the HDD she wants to keep!)
[14:49] <qwebirc10113> brlin: `/snap/bin/canonical-livepatch`
[14:50] <leftyfb> brlin: dual boot
[14:51] <Mr_Sheesh> leftyfb She has some costly software on the HDD, she'd rather not lose it
[14:51] <leftyfb> Mr_Sheesh: dual boot?
[14:51] <brlin> qwebirc10113: What's the output of `sudo grep secure_path /etc/sudoers`?
[14:51] <leftyfb> Mr_Sheesh: troubleshooting/installing drivers in a live environment isn't meant to be easy
[14:51] <Mr_Sheesh> possible but I'm not sure there's time to do that before they leave the area
[14:52] <brlin> Maybe it's isn't a live environment?
[14:52] <leftyfb> Mr_Sheesh: it would definitely be quicker than troubleshooting driver issues on a live stick
[14:52] <brlin> You do can install Ubuntu on a thumb drive with a poor I/O performance
[14:52] <qwebirc10113> brlin: ` Defaults        secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin" `
[14:52] <Mr_Sheesh> True that. I can ask. Has the HDD space, half the HDD still open.
[14:53] <brlin> qwebirc10113: I have no idea why it didn't work directly in this case :-/
[14:54] <qwebirc10113> brlin: 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.
[14:55] <brlin> qwebirc10113: Well I'm a snap packager that knows more usage of the `snap` command ;)
[14:55] <qwebirc10113> ahh, rgr! ty ty again.
[15:04] <thnee> Hmm 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?
[15:06] <leftyfb> thnee: shouldn't you be using systemd?
[15:08] <thnee> leftyfb: I dunno, I am just testing that it works in a docker container right now.. systemd just calls the init script anyway
[15:08] <leftyfb> thnee: you want to run a container server in a docker container?
[15:09] <leftyfb> thnee: and, I'm not sure about uwsgi, but systemd service files should not just be calling init scripts. Not when written properly anyway
[15:09] <thnee> leftyfb: I am just using a docker container to test my uwsgi config locally. In prod it will be running in a VM, not in docker
[15:17] <thnee> It'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 follow
[15:20] <ioria> thnee, don't you have a  /var/log/uwsgi.log ?
[15:22] <thnee> ioria: no, only /var/log/uwsgi/app/my_app.log
[15:24] <ioria> thnee, paste   sudo systemctl restart uwsgi
[15:24] <thnee> I 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?
[15:25] <thnee> And I do have VERBOSE=yes in /etc/default/uwsgi, but that does not seem to do anything..
[15:26] <ioria> thnee, paste   sudo systemctl restart uwsgi
[15:27] <thnee> ioria: I am not using systemd, since this is in a docker container
[15:27] <ioria> ah
[15:27] <thnee> But systemd would just call the init.d script
[15:28] <ioria> thnee,   sudo service uwsgi status
[15:28] <ioria> or /etc/init.d/uwsgi restart
[15:28] <thnee> ioria: 1, just like the return code from /etc/init.d/uwsgi start
[15:29] <ioria> thnee,  uwsgi --ini /usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/mysite.ini
[15:30] <thnee> ioria: fails with open("/run/uwsgi/%(deb-confnamespace)/%(deb-confname)/pid"): No such file or directory [core/utils.c line 3590]
[15:31] <ioria> thnee,  strace -f uwsgi --ini /usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/mysite.ini
[15:32] <thnee> ioria: strace: ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, ...): Operation not permitted
[15:32] <ioria> thnee,  that's all ?
[15:32] <thnee> and "+++ exited with 1 +++"
[15:34] <ioria> thnee,  i think yo uneed to stop it first (not sure)
[15:36] <thnee> ioria: but if remove the problem with %(deb-confnamespace)/%(deb-confname), it works fine to run it with the otherwise default config file
[15:36] <ioria> or might be not working in docker , idk
[15:37] <thnee> So 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] anyway
[15:38] <ioria> thenes, yes, and we're trying to get some infos about that
[15:39] <ioria> thenes,  and strace is a useful tool (if it works)
[15:39] <ioria> thnee, ^
[15:41] <iain> hello
[15:43] <mr-robot> hi all
[15:44] <gaylordFocker> mr-robot: hi, and happy hump day!
[15:45] <mr-robot> :)
[15:46] <mr-robot> not a hump day at all
[15:46] <mr-robot> iam studing
[15:46] <mr-robot> a l o t
[15:46] <Zteam> Hi all!
[15:46] <mr-robot> hi z
[15:47] <Zteam> Why doesn't dmesg | tail -F follow the system events, isn't that how it's suposed to work?
[15:48] <ioria> thnee, try to create an empty  /usr/lib/uwsgi/plugins directory  and  run /etc/init.d/uwsgi restart
[15:49] <pragmaticenigma> Zteam: because tail doesn't work that way?
[15:50] <Zteam> pragmaticenigma, so whats' the proper way to monitor dmesg then?
[15:52] <mr-robot> can i make a server in hexchat?
[15:53] <pragmaticenigma> mr-robot: You cannot
[15:53] <pragmaticenigma> Zteam: tail -f /var/log/dmesg
[15:53] <mr-robot> is it paid or what?
[15:53] <leftyfb> Zteam: dmesg -w
[15:54] <pragmaticenigma> mr-robot: That is offtopic for this channel. This is for Ubuntu support only. You will have to research that topic elsewhere or use alis to search for a more appropriate channel
[15:54] <leftyfb> pragmaticenigma: /var/log/dmesg is not a thing
[15:54] <pragmaticenigma> !alis | mr-robot
[15:55] <pragmaticenigma> leftyfb: According to the documentation it should be: http://www.linfo.org/dmesg.html
[15:55] <mr-robot> oh thanks
[15:56] <pragmaticenigma> Zteam: It appears dmesg -w is what you want
[15:56] <leftyfb> pragmaticenigma: Not in 18.04 apparently
[15:56] <leftyfb> Zteam: I already told them that
[15:57] <pragmaticenigma> leftyfb: My bad, I thought they had written that, not you
[15:58] <Zteam> pragmaticenigma,, leftyfb thanks :)
[15:58] <leftyfb> Zteam: man dmesg
[15:58] <leftyfb> Zteam: -T might also be useful
[16:00] <Zteam> leftyfb, , thanks very useful :)
[16:03] <Zteam> leftyfb, dmesg -wH seems very useful too :D
[16:09] <thnee> ioria: I tried emptying the plugins dir, still [fail]. I ran the container unconfined and used strace -f, both on the /usr/bin/uwsgi, and the /etc/init.d/uwsgi start. Both of them end with the epoll_wait loop of the actual worker process, so it's hard to know what happened before..
[16:12] <ioria> thnee, so the are left with the logs files ...
[16:12] <filenotfound> WHat channel do we go to discuss 19.04 issues? I recognize this is the wrong forum
[16:13] <leftyfb> !ubuntu+1 | filenotfound
[16:14] <filenotfound> ubottu, thanks, count remeber the channel name, ty!
[16:14] <mkay> ubuntu version names are stupid and silly. cant they just stick to numbers
[16:15] <thnee> ioria: This init script seems fishy.. I think I will just avoid it and use my own script. I really don't need all this complexity anyway
[16:15] <filenotfound> ubottu You are the most helpful entity ive talked to today.
[16:15] <thnee> ioria: Thanks for all the help!
[16:15] <lotuspsychje> mkay: you can discuss codenames in #ubuntu-discuss
[16:15] <mkay> mkay
[16:16] <ioria> thnee, ok
[16:22] <Zuvy> join #ubuntu+1
[16:24] <mustmodify> Strange issue. When I login to a server and rm -rf some/relative/directory, it works. But when my deploy script logs in with the same credentials and does `/usr/bin/env rm -rf /some/absolute/directory/same/one` I see "cannot remove '...', permission denied."
[16:24] <mustmodify> any thoughts?
[16:25] <mustmodify> and actually, when I run the exact same command, I also get permission denied.
[16:25] <mustmodify> Oh, NM, not the same directory, the target is owned by root.
[16:25] <mustmodify> Sorry to bother.
[16:27] <leftyfb> also, why /usr/bin/env as opposed to /bin/rm ?
[16:27] <ggolin> has anyone seen issues with running ssh-keygen on bionic w/4.18-egde?
[16:27] <leftyfb> ggolin: are you taking a survey?
[16:28] <ggolin> leftyfb: sort of. ran out of things to check. it hangs indefinitely.
[16:28] <leftyfb> ggolin: ask for help, not others experiences
[16:28] <ggolin> 10/4 good pal
[16:29] <leftyfb> ggolin: does -v give you anything?
[16:29] <leftyfb> ggolin: or strace
[16:29] <leftyfb> ggolin: also, what is your exact command?
[16:30] <ggolin> strace shows an indefinite call to getpid(). the exact command is ssh-keygen -A or just ssh-keygen. available_entropy is at 4010.
[16:30] <leftyfb> ggolin: tried it on the hwe kernel?
[16:31] <ggolin> leftyfb: am on hwe-4.18 edge, also tried on stock 4.15.
[16:31] <leftyfb> ggolin: edge != hwe
[16:31] <leftyfb> ggolin: does it work on 4.15?
[16:31] <ggolin> does not
[16:32] <ggolin> does not work on 4.18 either
[16:32] <sahan> hi
[16:32] <ggolin> hi
[16:32] <leftyfb> ggolin: ok, so something is up with your machine regardless of the kernel
[16:32] <sahan> how are you
[16:32] <leftyfb> !support | sahan
[16:32] <ggolin> that'd be a great thing, leftyfb, however xenial does not exhibit this issue at all.
[16:32] <leftyfb> ggolin: tried it as sudo or anyother user?
[16:32] <ggolin> leftyfb: am root
[16:33] <leftyfb> ggolin: try it without root. Try it with a live cd/usb
[16:33] <ggolin> yeah im past all that at this point, unfortunately. not my first rodeo.
[16:34] <leftyfb> ggolin: ok, does it work with user? Does it work with a live cd/usb?
[16:34] <leftyfb> ggolin: If it's not your first rodeo, then you should know that providing this information is pretty important when troubleshooting
[16:35] <cryocaustik> Hi, all - working an AWS micro server that is being auto setup with Ubuntu 18.04, however it is coming with node 6.17.0 installed; what would be the proper method of removing node/npm and replacing it with the 10.x version?
[16:36] <leftyfb> cryocaustik: Ubuntu 18.04 comes with version 8.10 of the nodejs package
[16:36] <pragmaticenigma> cryocaustik: You would have to remove the package and install directly the version you desire. Unfortunately that is as far as we can help you. This channel supports the pacakges as provided by Ubuntu in it's package repos.
[16:36] <drewbert> uninstall resolvconf, manually set /etc/resolve.conf, reinstall resolvconf, reboot
[16:37] <leftyfb> drewbert: can we help you with something?
[16:37] <cryocaustik> I see; thanks for the responses. Not sure why AWS sticks 6.x instead of the normal 8 =/
[16:37] <drewbert> leftyfb, you could have yesterday.  That was the answer.
[16:37] <drewbert> Recorded here for posterity.
[16:38] <pragmaticenigma> cryocaustik: You would have to contact the vendor that supports your AWS instance
[16:38] <ggolin> hey, he's busy patronizing, drewbert
[16:38] <leftyfb> ggolin: you have yet to answer the questions
[16:39] <cryocaustik> pragmaticenigma I was just using their free tier to try the Cloud9 web IDE, but I will try their support to see what I can find. Thanks again
[16:39] <OficineRobotica> hello to all ....i'm triyng to use hdajackretask to make all my laptop speakers work but when i click apply now i get tee:/sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/reconfig: device busy , how can i apply the settings witought rebooting as this is a trial and error process? thank you
[16:43] <cryocaustik> pragmaticenigma just found this in their AWS docs, they want you to use `nvm install node` to update to the latest version
[16:43] <cryocaustik> src: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/sample-nodejs.html#sample-nodejs-install
[16:46] <xebra> hi, does ubuntu check if firmware updates are available?
[16:47] <pragmaticenigma> xebra: Can you be more specific?
[16:49] <xebra> pragmaticenigma, 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.
[16:50] <xebra> I wonder if Ubuntu checks for other UEFI/firmware updates too, or not, and how.
[16:50] <pragmaticenigma> xebra: 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 boot
[16:52] <xebra> ok, 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 updates
[16:52] <leftyfb> xebra: the fixes are loaded at boot
[16:53] <leftyfb> xebra: ubuntu does not automatically flash firmware onto any hardware
[16:53] <leftyfb> xebra: there's also patches in the kernel
[16:53] <leftyfb> xebra: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown
[16:53] <pragmaticenigma> xebra: 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)
[16:55] <pragmaticenigma> xebra: 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 damage
[16:55] <xebra> what 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 updates
[16:57] <leftyfb> xebra: what firmware?
[16:57] <xebra> leftyfb, the main firmware (motherboard)
[16:57] <leftyfb> xebra: ubuntu will typically release security and bugs with firmware (on boot as mentioned) as part of normal package updates
[16:58] <pragmaticenigma> xebra: I think what you mean is BIOS update or UEFI updates
[16:58] <leftyfb> xebra: ubuntu will not automatically flash firmware
[16:58] <xebra> ah, maybe now I get it. It updates the code, but only after boot, not by flashing the ROM. pragmaticenigma yeah, UEFI interface
[17:00] <jcotton> for UEFI machines what steps do i need to take before enabling secure boot?
[17:00] <jcotton> Ubunut is installed in and boots in UEFI mode
[17:00] <jcotton> Ubuntu 18.10
[17:01] <aniketh> Hi, is there a ppa for getting postfix 3.5 version into ubuntu 18.04
[17:01] <aniketh> ?
[17:04] <Alina-malina> hey all is there any badass professional female->male voice converters on ubuntu?
[17:08] <pragmaticenigma> jcotton: You cannot change secure boot settings after the OS is installed
[17:08] <pragmaticenigma> !latest | aniketh
[17:08] <jcotton> eh? surely not
[17:09] <brlin> jcotton: Try install the `shim-signed`, `linux-signed-generic`, and the `grub-efi-amd64-signed` packages
[17:10] <pragmaticenigma> jcotton: It wasn't before, looks like my notes are old: https://askubuntu.com/a/1047944
[17:10] <brlin> pragmaticenigma: That's definitely not the case
[17:10] <jcotton> brlin: cool thanks
[17:11] <jcotton> looks like they're already installed
[17:11] <pragmaticenigma> aniketh: This channel only supports and recommends using the software as provided in the default software repositories. Adding PPAs is at your own risk and up to you to find the one that provides the desired outcome.
[17:11] <brlin> pragmaticenigma: Also `sudo grub-install --uefi-secure-boot` to install the signed bootloaders
[17:11] <jcotton> tho I wonder if my mobo has the right CA cert
[17:11] <brlin> pragmaticenigma: Apologies, I thought you're replying to jcotton
[17:11] <jcotton> hm
[17:12] <brlin> @jcotton As long as it has MS 3rd party certificate it should be fine
[17:12] <jcotton> yeah
[17:12] <jcotton> if not I know where to get it and how to laod it
[17:13] <brlin> jcotton: You can verify it by running the `sbkeysync --verbose` command and see if the "Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011" certificate is available in the DB
[17:14] <jcotton> ah yep it's there
[17:14] <brlin> It should also possible to manually load it, but it might require resetting the platform key, not sure about that
[17:14] <jcotton> and wow that's a long revocation list
[17:15] <brlin> Malwares ;)
[17:16] <jcotton>   PK:
[17:16] <jcotton>     /CN=DO NOT TRUST - AMI Test PK
[17:16] <jcotton> ._.
[17:16] <jcotton> good job Gigabyte
[17:16] <brlin> (facepalm)
[17:17] <jcotton> could always make my own i gues
[17:18] <brlin> jcotton: Yep.
[17:21] <jcotton> brlin: actually are there tools for working with secure boot?
[17:22] <cryptodan> jcotton: mokutils
[17:22] <brlin> jcotton: There quite a few tutorials to manually sign the platform keys, etc.
[17:23] <wbt> ?
[17:23] <wbt> hello
[17:24] <pragmaticenigma> hello wbt , is there something that we can help you with?
[17:24] <Zteam> Alina-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 Wine
[17:25] <xebra> I just used mokutil --db to see the keys, I also have a key from Canonical there, I don't know how it ended up there
[17:26] <xebra> I'd never heard of sbkeysync
[17:26] <Alina-malina> Zteam, ye audacity is good, but i am not sure if it can do it in real time ;-\
[17:27] <Zteam> xebra, :D
[17:28] <xebra> Zteam, what are you laughing at? lol
[17:30] <Zteam> Alina-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 tho
[17:31] <Zteam> xebra, Sorry, man it appeared to be a joke, my bad :-)
[17:32] <Deihmos> how do you use unattended updates with livepatch? do you disable security updates ?
[17:33] <Alina-malina> ok thanks Zteam  i will try that
[17:33] <brlin> Deihmos:
[17:33] <xebra> Zteam, 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 something
[17:33] <xebra> and then sbkeysync, there's no man page and I don't see much info on the net about it
[17:33] <brlin> Deihmos: Livepatch only deals with kernel patches, you still need security updates for others
[17:34] <brlin> xebra: I believe mokutil is the 2nd stage of the secure boot process
[17:34] <Eickmeyer> Alina-malina: the Ubuntu Studio flavor is preconfigured for realtime audio, and includes a lot of realtime audio utilities.
[17:34] <brlin> (at least related to it)
[17:35] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio
[17:35] <brlin> Canonical uses its own key to validate the signed GRUB boot loader
[17:35] <Zteam> Deihmos, I don't belive that's needed, because security updates don't require root-priviliges to install, but I never tried it myself
[17:36] <brlin> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot#How_UEFI_Secure_Boot_works_on_Ubuntu
[17:36] <Zteam> Eickmeyer, I believe APT does set up for you
[17:37] <Eickmeyer> Zteam: I'm the project lead.
[17:38] <Eickmeyer> And, no, there are a number of tweaks that need to be done for realtime memory access and other things.
[17:38] <Eickmeyer> However, in 19.04 and in our backports PPA there are faster ways of configuring.
[17:40] <Zteam> Eickmeyer, I see, well.... All I can say is great work (and there is a reason I'd say "I believe" :-)
[17:40] <Eickmeyer> Zteam: Thanks. :)
[17:48] <Alina-malina> ok 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 time
[17:52] <Eickmeyer> Alina-malina: If not Audacity, then Ardour would be the one to go with as it's specifically made with realtime in mind.
[17:53] <Alina-malina> ok
[18:03] <brlin> I would like to ask if here's the proper place to ask question regarding the generation of the desktop images?
[18:04] <baodown> Do you mean burning an iso or generating one  brlin?
[18:04] <brlin> baodown: Generating one.
[18:05] <baodown> Brlin do you have an iso you want to use to recreate or one from scratch?
[18:06] <brlin> baodown: Creating one from scratch, preferably the same method of the official image uses.
[18:06] <aluno0553> filmes
[18:08] <baodown> brlin: you can check out linuxfromscratch, which details how to do it. Then I’d recommend checking Debian to learn how to make packages in official maintainer style
[18:09] <brlin> baodown: I didn't mean to build from source though, but from the existing Ubuntu packages
[18:10] <bastiaan> the standard btrfs setup used subvolume @home. I recreated all users. Now I actually have a different btrfs partition named /home how do I reconnect these home dirs with the newly created users (with the same name)
[18:10] <Zteam> brlin, you might find it more easy, to build your ISO, from the minimal ubuntu ISO :)
[18:11] <Zteam> brlin, https://www.linux.com/learn/roll-your-own-customized-ubuntu-uck
[18:12] <jcotton> >uck
[18:12] <brlin> Zteam: AFAICT UCK is discontinued.
[18:12] <johnfg> hi folks
[18:12] <johnfg> Working on this new install of xubuntu.
[18:13] <baodown> brlin then you can go two ways (that I know work): there’s a CLI guide on the official Ubuntu website that’s slightly dated but works, then there’s A GUI package called Cubic that you can download from their PPA. You can take a vanilla Ubuntu ISO and edit it with either; the latter option is what I prefer because it makes it easier to edit the package manifest
[18:13] <johnfg> I've made ownership of /var/www/html www-data.www.data, and I've added myself to the www-data group.  However, I still don't have privileges to write in html.
[18:14] <brlin> johnfg: You have to log out and re-login the user session to make the group change effective
[18:14] <johnfg> What should owner.group and mode be for /var/www/html so I as a user in www-data can write to html?
[18:14] <johnfg> brlin: Ah, I'll give that a try, thanks!@
[18:15] <Zteam> brlin, does that really matter, it might still be usuable (O haven't tried it so I don't know
[18:16] <johnfg> brlin: Didn't make a difference.  I logged in on tty1, and shows I'm in the group, but I can't write in html.
[18:16] <brlin> johnfg: `ls -l /var/www/html` ?
[18:18] <johnfg> drwxr-xr-x 3 www-data www-data     4096 Apr  3 12:11 html
[18:18] <brlin> The `www-data` group don't have write access to this folder
[18:18] <johnfg> I wonder what the mode should be then?
[18:19] <johnfg> 775?
[18:19] <brlin> You probably should check out Ubuntu Server Guide for the design and proper usage of `/var/www/html`
[18:19] <brlin> 775 should be reasonable
[18:21] <naxis> Hello, ionno if i'm doing this right but I'm looking for the optimal way to wrap webpages and turn them to desktop apps (electron is out of the equation)
[18:22] <lordcirth__> naxis, not really on topic here, I think? You could try #ubuntu-discuss, perhaps.
[18:22] <naxis> alright, sorry and thanks for the answer :)
[18:28] <heelrayner> !barrier
[18:30] <heelrayner> does anyone know of a guid for configuring barrier?
[18:31] <bastiaan> heelrayner: I guess you mean a GUI?
[18:31] <bastiaan> guid is a global unique id
[18:36] <lordcirth__> heelrayner, what is "barrier" in this context?
[18:36] <lordcirth__> This? https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
[18:37] <JimBuntu> heelrayner, if it is the Synergy fork... then it should come with a GUI named 'barrier'
[18:40] <nagyg> hi everyone
[18:40] <lordcirth__> nagyg, hi
[18:40] <dlynch> Hey there. I've got a Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro that has a DisplayPort AlternateMode capable USB-C port on it, but I'm having trouble getting it working with my adapter. I bought a "plugable USB-C to HDMI 2.0 DPAM Adapter" from Amazon that has good reviews and a good support site that assures me this adapter should work with any DisplayPort AlternateMode capable USB-C port.
[18:40] <dlynch> It is my understanding that DP-AM capability was not added to linux until the 4.19 kernel, so I have updated my Ubuntu to the most recent stable in UKUU/Ubuntu Kernel Repos (5.0.3) but I still am having trouble getting it working.
[18:40] <dlynch> The output from xrandr doesn't seem to indicate it recognizing anything being plugged in, and neither does the Display section of the Ubuntu Settings page.
[18:40] <dlynch> I need it to connect to my 4K monitor at 60Hz, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
[18:44] <Simorx93> hello

[19:32] <EriC^^> !systemd | Syllin maybe this is helpful
[19:35] <ckopn> if i update my beta everyday , do i need clean install release version or i will get it with updates?
[19:36] <lordcirth__> Syllin, also, the full docs are here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/index.html
[19:36] <EriC^^> ckopn: you'd get it with updates
[19:36] <Syllin> thanks all
[19:38] <ckopn> I hope too
[19:39] <lordcirth__> ckopn, look in /etc/apt/sources.list. You are tracking 19.04, right? You will keep getting 19.04 when it's released, it doesn't change.

[19:42] <lordcirth__> ckopn, 'disco' is the Ubuntu version, 'main' is the basic packages, 'restricted' is stuff like patented codecs and drivers
[19:43] <lordcirth__> there's also universe and multiverse
[19:43] <ckopn> ok,  thanks i see other lines are different
[20:04] <dlam> im doing some docker stuff, and on an 'apt-get install' i'm  getting  'Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_3.16.59-1_amd64.deb  404  Not Found'   any ideas?   i  did 'sudo apt-get update' before too!
[20:05] <Sleaker> dlam: that file doesn't exist.
[20:06] <Sleaker> the only version of libc 3,16 in security-cdn.debian.org is 3.16.64-2
[20:06] <Sleaker> maybe a mirror issue?
[20:06] <Sleaker> you can browse the repo link from any web browser
[20:07] <Sleaker> dlam: what repo are you pointed at, stretch-updates ?
[20:07] <Sleaker> also note, this is #ubuntu not debian.
[20:33] <brlin> Is there a system-wide config location for ~/.config/monitors.xml?
[20:42] <zer0> exit
[20:58] <vibhu> hey
[20:58] <vibhu> anyone here
[20:59] <lotuspsychje> !ask | vibhu
[20:59] <vibhu> i have a doubt about ubuntu itself
[20:59] <leftyfb> vibhu: ubuntu.com/download  go try it from a usb drive
[21:00] <leftyfb> vibhu: this is a support channel. If you want to chat about ubuntu, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:00] <vibhu> i start ubuntu and it shows blank screen
[21:00] <vibhu> after 1,2 restarts it boots normally
[21:01] <vibhu> if anyone can permantly tell us a solution here that would be a big help
[21:01] <vibhu> amd radeon is the graphic processor here
[21:01] <leftyfb> vibhu: what version of ubuntu?
[21:04] <vibhu> its 16.04
[21:04] <lotuspsychje> vibhu: what about your kernel version?
[21:05] <leftyfb> vibhu: how did you install Ubuntu? Is this a fresh install or an upgrade? Did it work fine at one point and now it's not?
[21:05] <leftyfb> vibhu: if so, what changed?
[21:17] <Sc0tty-> Hi, I installed some Nvidia drivers and now when my laptop boots it boots into grub and I need to set root, prefix etc then boot into normal mode, is there a way to fix this?
[21:17] <Sc0tty-> 18.04
[21:21] <fearnothing> hola
[21:21] <fearnothing> I'm having DNS problems
[21:22] <fearnothing> I can't resolve anything, and I can't see why
[21:22] <fearnothing> to be fair I haven't logged in to this server in a while...
[21:23] <fearnothing> actually, a correction
[21:23] <fearnothing> dig @internal_server -t A www.google.com - times out, and no packets are sent to internal_server
[21:23] <fearnothing> dig @8.8.8.8 -t A www.google.com works fine though
[21:24] <compdoc> so your lans dns service is borked
[21:24] <compdoc> are you the borkee?
[21:24] <fearnothing> no it is not borked
[21:24] <fearnothing> every other device can get DNS out of it just fine
[21:25] <fearnothing> and I'm tcpdumping on it to watch for packets from the borked host, and it doesn't see any
[21:26] <Bashing-om> Sc0tty-: 1st thing to check is what graphic's driver is loaded ' sudo lshw -C display ' .
[21:29] <dos000> mayday .. i am trying to use pass in ubuntu 18.04 but i cant see the gnome-keyring that is supposed to ask me for the passphrase
[21:29] <dos000> after some time it just times out
[21:30] <leftyfb> fearnothing: what version of ubuntu?
[21:30] <dos000> i am using vnc remotely .. when i use the tool locally i usually get a prompt
[21:31] <fearnothing> leftyfb - 16.04
[21:31] <fearnothing> could do with updating I guess :P
[21:31] <leftyfb> fearnothing: is this running a desktop environment at all?
[21:31] <fearnothing> no, headless
[21:31] <leftyfb> fearnothing: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[21:32] <fearnothing> nameserver <my_internal_dns>
[21:32] <leftyfb> fearnothing: dig @<my_internal_dns> -t A www.google.com
[21:34] <leftyfb> fearnothing: ?
[21:38] <dude123> hi
[21:38] <leftyfb> fearnothing: if it doesn't work, then either "my_internal_dns" isn't working or is being blocked to/from your ubuntu 16.04 client
[21:39] <leftyfb> sorry, server, not client
[21:51] <yuken> What the heck is the difference between apt and apt-get?
[21:55] <Bashing-om> yuken: see: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/26q2sm/apt_vs_aptget/ ; https://mvogt.wordpress.com/2014/04/04/apt-1-0/ ; https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/ .
[22:18] <fearnothing> leftyb: I'm afraid that's not what's going on
[22:20] <fearnothing> when I try sending a request to my internal server there's not even a port 53 packet leaving the ubuntu host
[22:26] <fearnothing> so it's definitely a problem with the ubuntu box
[22:27] <lotuspsychje> fearnothing: feel free to re-ask your original issue, maybe other volunteers can think along
[22:32] <fearnothing> sometime since the last time I logged in, DNS on it has stopped working to my internal DNS resolver
[22:32] <fearnothing> if I dig @8.8.8.8, that works fine
[22:33] <fearnothing> if I dig @internal_server, no DNS packets traverse eth0
[22:38] <lotuspsychje> fearnothing: server?
[22:38] <fearnothing> lotuspsychje - what do you mean?
[22:39] <lotuspsychje> fearnothing: are you on ubuntu server?
[22:41] <fearnothing> yes
[22:41] <fearnothing> 16.04
[22:42] <lotuspsychje> fearnothing: try #ubuntu-server
[22:42] <jcotton> so I turned on secure boot but now my graphics are garbage
[22:43] <jcotton> GTX 1080, low resolution, dual monitors not working
[22:44] <lotuspsychje> jcotton: driver version please?
[22:44] <jcotton> how do i find that?
[22:45] <lotuspsychje> jcotton: software&updates tab additional drivers
[22:46] <jcotton> nvidia-driver-390 on Ubuntu 18.10
[22:46] <lotuspsychje> !nvidia | jcotton
[22:46] <lotuspsychje> jcotton: pick a higher one for gtx cards from the ubuntu ppa
[22:46] <jcotton> ok
[22:46] <Randolf> lotuspsychje: 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.
[22:47] <Randolf> That nVidia driver tools install stuff did the trick.
[22:47] <Randolf> Tools and drivers, that is.
[22:47] <lotuspsychje> Randolf: wich driver are you on currently?
[22:47] <Randolf> I'll check...
[22:48] <jcotton> it's install nvidia-drivers-418 right now
[22:48] <jcotton> *installing
[22:49] <lotuspsychje> jcotton: allrighty, good luck ; )
[22:49] <Randolf> Oh, hang on, that's my other laptop.  I can't check right now.  Ha ha.
[22:49] <Randolf> Sorry.
[22:49] <lotuspsychje> Randolf: if it works, its good
[22:49] <Randolf> It's great, and it runs in a much higher resolution now too.
[22:50] <lotuspsychje> glad to hear
[22:50] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: Did you get your bluetooth going?
[22:51] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: yes, me and guiver_d fixxed the apple magic mouse with a git
[22:51] <Randolf> I'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] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe/+bug/1822770
[22:52] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: good, I figured it might have been a Broadcom bluetooth card without firmware
[22:53] <Bashing-om> jcotton: Nvidia confirms ya want the 418 version driver: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/145182/en-us for that card.
[22:53] <jcotton> ok install done
[22:54] <jcotton> reboot time
[22:54] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: now to hope the git owner will push fix to ubuntu, as i pinged him
[22:55] <jcotton> lotuspsychje: that worked thanks!
[22:56] <lotuspsychje> welcome jcotton
[22:59] <cognition___> Hi, is there any way to install openjdk 1.8.0_162 on 16.04?
[23:00] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: I hope you have more influence than I do
[23:01] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: well for me its pretty important these kind of things work, on LTS installed some bionics with success on different macs already
[23:02] <PowderLinux> is 19.04 going to be an LTS ?
[23:02] <lotuspsychje> PowderLinux: no
[23:02] <Bashing-om> !release | PowderLinux
[23:03] <PowderLinux> ohh. for some reason i thought all .4s were LTS and all .10s were non LTS
[23:03] <PowderLinux> *.04s
[23:05] <Bashing-om> PowderLinux: 1st release in an even year is LTS - 14.04 16.04 18.04 20.04 :)
[23:07] <PowderLinux> gotcha. thanks!
[23:15] <stan_man_can> Hey all -- Just installed 18.04 and used ubuntu-drivers to install nvidia drivers, how can I check that they're working?
[23:17] <EriC^^> stan_man_can: lshw -c video
[23:18] <EriC^^> see the driver in use, also maybe try running glxgears
[23:18] <stan_man_can> @EriC^^:
[23:18] <stan_man_can> http://sc.etylogic.com/36f00587d35d
[23:18] <p0wder> an easy way is to go to settings > details
[23:18] <stan_man_can> sounds like it's good to go?
[23:18] <stan_man_can> p0wder: server edition so no gui
[23:19] <EriC^^> stan_man_can: looks good
[23:19] <stan_man_can> thanks
[23:19] <Sysifoss> Hi, 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_can> any proper tutorial for setting a static IP in 18.04? i've found a few contrasting articles
[23:21] <arooni> is there any way to adjust how long notifications stay up on ubuntu 18.04?  it seems like they stay on way too long
[23:22] <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.
[23:23] <Bashing-om> stan_man_can: See if https://blog.ubuntu.com/2017/12/01/ubuntu-bionic-netplan helps.
[23:26] <stan_man_can> Is 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?
[23:28] <tilasb87> yes, 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_can> thanks
[23:29] <tilasb87> No problem.
[23:46] <MrCelery> I am getting a parsing error when i try to automount a windows network share to my ubuntu vm. Installed samba and i am using cifs to mount.
[23:46] <MrCelery> the line i have in fstab is the following: //WINIP/Shared /media/drive1 credentials=/home/smbcredsfile,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
[23:47] <MrCelery> any ideas?
[23:51] <teward> MrCelery: I do believe you forgot to define `cifs` as the filesystem/mount type
[23:51] <teward> try: //WINIP/Shared /media/drive1 cifs credentials=/home/smbcredsfile,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
[23:52] <teward> MrCelery: ERROR: Not Enough Arguments :p
[23:53] <p0wder> dont you need to have ntfs-3g under type
[23:53] <leftyfb> p0wder: network filesystems don't care what filesystem your drive is
[23:55] <leftyfb> p0wder: please do not PM
[23:55] <MrCelery> stedward: 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 0
[23:55] <p0wder> how do i send it in red like that?
[23:56] <p0wder> i thought it was /msg username
