[00:15] does anyone know if I can exclude a bridge interface in ufw ? [00:15] or just an interface ? [00:17] gislaved: Do you mean to specify a rule on a per-interface basis? [00:17] MrSelfDestruct I think yes, I have tap interfaces as well, they seem to work pretty well so far [00:18] but bridges... meh [00:18] gislaved: I found this link in regards to ufw rules on specific interfaces https://serverfault.com/questions/270715/ubuntu-ufw-set-a-rule-on-a-per-interface-basis?newreg=26fa2be18c8d4568b33e6021e0459991 [00:19] I hope it helps! [00:19] MrSelfDestruct Let's hope so, thanks! [00:19] MrSelfDestruct I found the same actually ;) [00:20] gislaved: Is it what you need? [00:20] MrSelfDestruct sort of... I have a whole subnet on a bridge so that might be difficult maybe [00:23] Hmmmmm I'm not exactly sure how to filter traffic the way you want but I'm sure there is some way to [00:28] hi === evan is now known as Guest20872 [00:36] MrSelfDestruct when I do a default allow would it be possible to make a from only on a port and dro the rest ? [00:37] Is there a shortcut to clear the terminal buffer? [00:37] gislaved: Like set a specific port to be the only allowed outbound/inbound? [00:37] learningc: ctrl-l [00:38] learningc: What buffer? control+L has the same effect of 'clear' basically if that's what you want [00:38] MrSelfDestruct yes, I need to allow everything but want to bound ssh for an example to a specific port [00:38] oops [00:38] IP [00:39] gislaved: Yes you can set UFW to allow only certain IPs and/or ports while dropping everything else [00:39] MrSelfDestruct with a default of ALLOW ? [00:41] gislaved: If you set the default to allow it will allow everything but then you can set specific things to reject if that's what you want [00:42] I know this is not recommended, but it is in my test lab. I am trying to ssh as root on a non standard port on Ubuntu Server 18.10 and get Password Failure messages [00:42] MrSelfDestruct indeed I want that I think as it's undoable to allow everything on a routed subnet that love on a bridge [00:42] I have enabled password authentication, and set permit root login to yes [00:42] *lives [00:42] benharri, MrSelfDestruct ctrl+L will clear the screen. What I want is to have just the output of a process on the terminal and buffer. Example if I ls a big directory, I don't know where it starts so I have to scroll all the way up to search the start. If I can shortcut key to clear the terminal buffer, I just scrool all up for the start [00:44] learningc: So do you want to view just the start of a large buffer? You can pipe it through head if you just need to view the top [00:44] Not sure if I'm understanding though so sorry if that's not the right answer [00:45] gislaved: If you can route the things on the bridge through a NAT and limit the NAT to a few thousand specific ports you can set rules for those ports specifically [00:46] MrSelfDestruct yeah pretty complex on such setups [00:46] gislaved: Yeah if it's bridged the way I think it is the only way I can think of doing it is via a NAT-type setup [00:47] e.g. limit the things on the subnet to the NAT ports 40000-43000 and set rules for those [00:47] MrSelfDestruct or allow everything and deny other shit [00:47] MrSelfDestruct how could I allow ssh from some IP only ? [00:47] when allowing by default ? [00:48] gislaved: `ufw allow from [IP] to any proto tcp udp port [port]` [00:48] You can also specify an IP range [00:48] `ufw allow from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255` or similar [00:49] MrSelfDestruct that blocks the rest, you are sure ? [00:49] gislaved: As long as your default rule is to block everything else on that port then yes [00:49] You can speciifcally set [00:49] MrSelfDestruct so I first need to setup a rule that that [00:50] `ufw [reject | deny] udp tcp port [port]` to specifically deny or reject that port [00:50] MrSelfDestruct I'm locking out a proxmox box this way, don't want to messup with it's own firewall ;) [00:50] Then if you set an allow rule it will only allow things from the IPs you specify [00:51] MrSelfDestruct ah nice, you understand why I do this don't you ? [00:51] my subnet is attached to my virtual FW's :) [00:51] so I manage the rest there [00:52] MrSelfDestruct what is preferred, deny or reject ? [00:54] gislaved: Deny tells a connecting service that the port is closed/filtered while reject just drops the packet and doesn't tell it's closed (making it appear like the IP is offline) [00:54] I normally go for reject but there are times where you want deny [00:56] MrSelfDestruct true! [00:57] Also if you're remotely setting the SSH rules you want to specify the allow rule before you set any deny or reject rule [00:58] gislaved: If you set the deny or reject before allow and all of the sudden your connection is forbidden the firewall then it won't allow you to reconnect [00:58] MrSelfDestruct true but I have some nice local VPN option build in ;) [00:59] gislaved: Nice nice, just making sure you didn't lock yourself out (cuz I may or may not have done said thing before) [00:59] MrSelfDestruct yeah I don't like to set an allow in general actually but you cannot do different in this way... NATTING will be a mess [01:03] MrSelfDestruct don't you think ? [01:03] gislaved: Definitely. NAT is a mess for sure and I haven't messed with bridges that weren't NAT much but I don't blame you for not wanting to mess with it LOL [01:04] MrSelfDestruct heh yeah what would be a rule for it then because I think my main interface, like eth0 is involved as well [01:05] gislaved: A rule for NAT or a rule for a specific interface? [01:05] NAT [01:07] huh, getting curious about other flavours and I just noticed something. The page on the flavour page for lubuntu links to lubuntu.me but if you google it, it links to lubuntu.net. Is that supposed to be intentional? XD [01:08] gislaved: Once you got NAT setup you could deny/allow out/inbound via the NAT ports that you set up (you can specify only a few thousand NAT ports and set up rules just for those and set up specific rules for NAT port forwarding too!) [01:10] MrSelfDestruct so it ucks :) [01:10] *sucks [01:11] gislaved: Networking is hard so yeah :) [01:12] MrSelfDestruct true [01:17] meh ufw doesn't drop a port anymore [01:29] kaosine: lubuntu.net is subject to a domain dispute between the current flavor contributors and someone who thinks he is still any part of it and won't give the domain up - hence the alternative domain was created. [01:29] huh makes sense but still weird [01:30] is that also why the logo doesn't match up on the site either? [01:31] MrSelfDestruct ah now I see the order :) [01:31] Hi guys, I try to get rid of mysql then install it again but it doesn't work. I always get this: http://www.mpaste.com/p/KPlSOI I've removed it, purged it and I still get the same error. Anyone with any ideas? [01:31] kaosine: Yeah, since the flavor team doesn't have any control over lubuntu.net, it can be anything between outdated and outright wrong. [01:32] gislaved: Oh? What do you see now? [01:32] MrSelfDestruct I first need to allow then deny [01:32] MrSelfDestruct but all in user.rules or .after is possible as well ? [01:32] kaosine: There is also a bug report on Launchpad about this, but I'd have to look it up again first. >_> [01:33] krytarik: which I probably needed to have looked there before asking tbh. I'm hoping to one day know enough programming to be able to contribute lol [01:35] gislaved: I think you can specify a rule to be at the highest priority with `ufw insert 1 [rule text]` or change that number to specify where it goes in the rule list and that new rules default to going on the bottom [01:36] kaosine: Well, there are various things one can help a project with other than just coding. :) [01:36] MrSelfDestruct yeah never touch the after or before files I think [01:36] yeah but I am a programmer or at least going to school for that :P [01:37] gislaved: Yeah don't touch those just use the regular rule ordering (I'm not sure if you can change a rules ordering without deleting then remaking it with insert though) [01:37] MrSelfDestruct user.rules works o the fly if you save it === joey_ is now known as common === common is now known as commonstoic [01:58] E AI [02:05] MrSelfDestruct meh!! [02:05] Hi All, in CentOS we have 'yum update -y' to update all the packages to latest version. Do we have anything in ubuntu like that ? [02:05] gislaved: What's going on? [02:06] we are planning to patch all machines on monthly basis and updating all packages is requirement for that [02:06] kolaman: 'apt full-upgrade' [02:06] apt update && apt full-upgrade -y [02:06] MrSelfDestruct I needed to reboot a box... I messedup ufw :) [02:06] you can! [02:06] gislaved: Dang LOL [02:06] MrSelfDestruct: butmost of the time 'apt update && apt full-upgrade -y' breaks on running upgrade thingy [02:06] what does full-upgrade do that upgrade doesn't? [02:06] also hasn't dnf replaced yum kolaman? [02:07] it's equivalent to apt-get dist-upgrade [02:07] MrSelfDestruct seen it before, never do a flush of iptables when it's installed... [02:07] jcotton: I believe full-upgrade will remove obsolete packages if necessary while upgrade will only add and upgrade without removing anything [02:07] ah [02:07] benharri: that what about do-release-upgrade ? is that not for same purpose ? [02:07] it will remove packages that are unneeded [02:07] do-release-upgrade is for moving between releases [02:08] LTS releases are every two years and do-release-upgrade is better done by hand [02:08] benharri: a bit confused dist-upgrade / release pgrade arent' they are same [02:08] nope [02:08] apt full-upgrade is the same as apt-get dist-upgrade [02:08] note apt vs apt-get [02:11] MrSelfDestruct this is weir this box doesn't reject on a default allow anymore [02:11] gislaved: Oh what? [02:11] MrSelfDestruct indeed, don't ask me why [02:11] benharri: thanks but still yum update -y only update the packages and not upgrade distribution completely .. please correct me i I'm wrong here. While apt full-upgrade does distro upgrad [02:12] with systemd era, 'apt' alone is enough, and has more functions [02:12] https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/ [02:12] apt full-upgrade does not do distro upgrades [02:12] you need do-release-upgrade for that [02:12] kolaman: full-upgrade does not do a full distrubtion upgrade. It will upgrade according to your apt targets and those won't change [02:12] Yes do-release-upgrade is the distrubution upgrade [02:27] hi [02:28] i installed ubuntu on a 1 giga ram machine hp dv2500 [02:28] when the osload it works ok but restarting is very slow , any to make the start faster? [02:28] withput aadding more hardware [02:29] What does async do? Do anyone think it could be used to automate "git push --mirror ..." ? [02:30] I want to automate a process in ubuntu (locally) based on whether or not changes occur to the local copy [02:30] bambanx: Not to responsive, huh with 1 Gig ? .. the (u)buntu needs 4 Gigs for a good experience: Outdated but -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements/ . [02:31] how i can see how much ram i have on the laptop on ubuntu? [02:32] free -h [02:34] bambanx: lubuntu is targeted for low spec systems - will be a much better experience - xubuntu is not to shabby on low resources either :) [02:36] just about anything is better than gnome if you have low resources XD [02:37] but 1 gb ram ... no browser will run more than 2-3 pages without lag [02:40] you also have to realize how complicated things like web browsers are now, especially with people doing everything we used to do offline but now through the browser XD [02:40] unless you're running a raspberry pi now a days 8gb is the bare minimum a computer should have and that's still not enough imo :P [02:41] what? just 256 Tb? (2021) [02:47] For me it's a dream to even have 32gb of ram just because yeah I want it XD [03:10] / quit [03:29] MrSelfDestruct I'm done :) needed to ACCEPT FORWARD Packages :) [03:29] sleep well [03:29] gislaved: Ohhhhhhhh yes yes [03:29] indeed, great! [03:32] Where can I ask questions about using async on my operating system? Does anyone know? I am running ubuntu 18.o4 right now. [03:34] plongshot: how did you install async? [03:36] lotuspsychje: I just found out that it is not installe :) I was googling how to install it: https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=install+async+on+ubuntu+18.04&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 but the information does not seem to be forthcoming :( [03:36] Can help? [03:37] async is standard in mount, sync flushes cache direct [03:37] and is much slower that way [03:37] way? [03:38] I just want to accomplish a goal in the siimplest most efficient way [03:38] :> [03:40] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/mount.8.html#filesystem-independent%20mount%20options [03:40] I like to play with code. I have a github acct :> Since I am the only team member, I want to mirror my local repository (git repository) upstream. And I want to automate the process in such a way that, changes to my local repo are detected and a script is run as a consequence? [03:41] OerHeks: hi [03:42] hi [03:43] async is a part of mount command? What? I thought async was its own program? [03:44] there are tons of guides to sync git, i wonder if that is smart, without proper version control [03:44] just sync on change is lame [03:45] https://github.com/gitwatch/gitwatch is such project [03:45] Can you rollback a kernel if you don't have grub installed? I accidentally installed a kernel that's incompatible with software I'm using. [03:46] Sirisian: are you using ubuntu without grub? [03:47] OerHeks: "FILESYSTEM-INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS" <-- afaik, when I got started with linux (ubuntu 10.04 like 8 or 9 yrs ago?) that at that time async was its own program that had to do with automatically sycronizing changes to files (and more) with some other . [03:47] what happened? [03:47] Did I make a boo boo to begin with? [03:47] plongshot: are you thinking of rsync? [03:47] lotuspsychje, yes. As far as I can tell the image I used doesn't have it. Pressing any of the keys at boot does nothing and there's no grub configuration. [03:48] ah, leftyfb, good spot, rsync sounds plausible [03:48] plongshot: regardless, neither of these tools are going to help you with the terrible idea of automatically "syncing" any local changes with your github repo [03:48] leftyfb: you are correct. Thank you. I' forgot the correct name [03:48] Sirisian: pastebin: uname -a && lsb_release -a && apt-cache policy grub2 [03:49] rsync & grsync gui [03:49] neither of those are going to "sync" with github. And even if they did, that completely goes against the whole idea of git. Use Dropbox if you want something like that [03:50] plongshot: ^ [03:50] leftyfb: I am a one man team. It is a hobby (my own personal hobby) to program. It is hte mos convenient thing for my needs at this moment. If, at some time in the future, anything I do becomese popular enough to have contributors - then I'll change my workflow. [03:50] :> [03:50] plongshot: that's not how you use git. [03:50] OerHeks: grsync nice! [03:51] leftyfb: man git comes with a --mirror flag? [03:51] plongshot: no [03:51] man git clone, man git push, man git [03:51] look at the man page leftyfb [03:52] man git clone (for one example) [03:53] plongshot: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/git.1.html The word "mirror" does not show up anywhere in the git man page for ubuntu [03:53] lotuspsychje, https://pastebin.com/Sx9mnm5L It's Ubuntu mate if that matters. [03:53] plongshot: maybe the #github is more the git class [03:53] jesus - hold on [03:53] ... [03:53] plongshot: yes, I fully understand git and it's uses. Automatically "syncing" every single local change is NOT how it's meant to be used. Not without commits and push [03:54] Sirisian: you have an arm device running on kernel 4.19 [03:54] plongshot: regardless, you're terrible idea is beyond the scope of this channel. Try asking in ##linux [03:54] !arm | Sirisian [03:54] Sirisian: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. [03:54] ah thanks [03:55] Sirisian: how did you install kernel 4.19 if i may ask? [03:55] leftyfb: Here is the pastbinit link to $ man git clone | pastebinit on my system. http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5zGn2PbtNv/ [03:55] Do you see "--mirror" there? [03:55] idk [03:55] thx [03:55] I appreciate ya'all [03:56] hi all [03:56] can we automate apt full-upgrade -y ? [03:56] kolaman: are you on ubuntu-server? [03:57] yes, ubuntu 18.x and some machines are ubuntu 16.x [03:57] kolaman: join #ubuntu-server please [03:57] Does anyone know a reliable resource for rsync? So I don't waste my time with garbage? [03:58] man rsync? [03:58] well of course [03:58] but I mean someone explain / expand on it [03:58] like an official ubuntu doc [03:58] or somethign [03:59] might be easier if you ask about what you want to do [03:59] plongshot, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [03:59] (but why not just do a search for it yourself?) [03:59] plongshot: i agree with Ben64 there's different purposes to use rsync [04:00] lotuspsychje, you're a genius. I pasted a random rpi update command thinking it would bring me to 4.16, but by default it goes to the latest. I just realized this command takes in a parameter allowing you to install any kernel version. I'm going to experiment. [04:00] wc [04:01] i am installing ubuntu from usb and is stuck here https://imgur.com/a/Lnb9P5Q [04:01] Sirisian: kernel play on ubuntu, we reccomend to use !mainline [04:01] Ben64: ty. I want to automate the process or mirroring a locoal git repository upstream. This can be done with native git features but requirees specially taylored commands. I don't want to manually enter thos commands. I need to automate changes and propagete them upstream. This is not normal workflow, I know. It is specific to my personal needs. [04:01] i should remove the usb ? not sure what is wrong [04:01] guiverc: ty I will see this [04:01] bambanx: tell us more about your ubuntu version and computer specs please? [04:02] is 32 bits lotuspsychje [04:02] Sirisian: see if the arm channel can guide you on !mainline arm kernels [04:02] maybe 16 version lotuspsychje [04:03] Ben64: or\of mirroring a local.. [04:03] bambanx: what about your maybe specs? [04:04] is a hp paviliondv2500 lotuspsychje [04:04] bambanx: is it a default ubuntu 16.04 desktop or another flavor like lubuntu, xubuntu? [04:04] dedault lotuspsychje [04:05] bambanx: how did you create your usb stick please? [04:06] using etcher tool lotuspsychje [04:06] and i change the bios for boot primary from usb that is correct? [04:06] bambanx: can you try enter system with !nomodeset please? [04:07] !nomodeset | bambanx [04:07] bambanx: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:07] not sure howi can do that lotuspsychje [04:08] bambanx: alternate for those specs, personally i would also try lubuntu or xubuntu as a test [04:09] what is the differenceof lubuntu and xubuntu? desktop ? [04:09] Just installed a minimal version of ubuntu 18.04 on a compute stick attached to a nexdock dumb laptop. I need to enable bluetooth somehow to get the keyboard and touchpad working. Can someone help? [04:09] which is more friendly is for a non tech lady friend [04:09] bambanx: they are both lightweight flavors of ubuntu, its your users choice really [04:09] !flavors | bambanx [04:09] bambanx: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [04:10] This is a linuxium version of Ubuntu customized for a bay trail processor with a 32bit uefi [04:10] i removed the usb now is booting lotuspsychje [04:10] noalternative: to make BT more easy for yourself, try blueman [04:11] ok through apt-get? [04:11] yes [04:12] noalternative: also note, minimal install might lack essential packages you might need [04:12] It is just a 32gb sdcard. [04:13] so the specs didn't look promising [04:14] lotuspsychje, should i set primary boot usb ? [04:14] bambanx: you just said your system booted? [04:15] its boot fromusb [04:15] Is there a way to run SMART job periodically without cron ? [04:17] macopython: if a harddisk is faulty, syslog will catch the errors automaticly [04:17] macopython, you could add it to a login script (it kicks off when a user logs in), have it `sleep` - but I can't think of any better than cron [04:18] guiverc: User will not login mostly or say she will login very rarely. [04:19] lotuspsychje: I see. SMART does prediction I believe. Just catching an error is not enough. [04:20] macopython: whats your end goal exactly to automate this? [04:20] What channel do I use to get help regarding Ubuntu 18.04? [04:20] Mr_Grey: here [04:21] lotuspsychje: I want to know if OS performs SMART test itself ever ? [04:21] lotuspsychje, Oh. Okay. Thank you [04:21] lotuspsychje: If it performs it, I want to get its results. That is the end goal. [04:22] macopython: i understand you want the results of your harddisk, but why do you want to automate it? [04:23] macopython: your bios will notice smart issues, and your syslog will.. [04:23] It doesn't look like rsync is a viable soln to my problem. What I need to do is execute a script whenever a local change is made to a repository. [04:23] lotuspsychje: The thing I am working on is monitoring system. [04:24] macopython: in my opinion, scanning a system with full smart test is just silly way of fear [04:24] *every day [04:25] Relatively fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 (perhaps 5 days). Having issues getting DVDs to play with default application or VLC. Tried this link: https://itsfoss.com/play-dvd-ubuntu-1310/ ... Tried installing libdvd-pkg and then did the configuration as per the instructions in the link, but now the problem is not only still present, but VLC seems to be freezing my machine when I attempt it. Have tried multiple [04:25] DVDs. including ones that worked on my previous Ubuntu install (also 18.04). DVD drive tested and working on Windows 10 as well as previous install of Linux Mint 18 and Ubuntu 18 [04:26] Is there any way to make the text in HEXCHAT bigger? That is the client I am using [04:26] I don't see well [04:26] lotuspsychje [04:26] lotuspsychje: I don't want to schedule SMART. I just want to get the results if at all it is performed by OS. [04:27] macopython: Is there a way to run SMART job periodically.. make up your mind? [04:29] Mr_Grey: take your mouse pointer to hexchat preferences you can change your fonts there [04:30] !dvd > Mr_Grey [04:30] Mr_Grey, please see my private message [04:30] lotuspsychje, Excellent! Cheers [04:32] lotuspsychje: Made up my mind. Just want to know the results of SMART if OS performs it. [04:34] macopython: ubuntu doesnt automate a full smart scan, but it will warn you when problems arise, from Os and from bios [04:35] lotuspsychje: I see. Thanks a lot for help :) [04:36] macopython: there are several tools on ubuntu you can test your HD with: bonnie++ hdparm for example [04:37] lotuspsychje: Got it. === stitched_unicorn is now known as constantfun === javi404_ is now known as javi404 [04:58] hello [04:58] welcome median-systems [04:58] thank you [04:58] nice to meet you [04:58] median-systems: how can we help you today? [04:59] oh thank [04:59] you [04:59] mmh... [05:02] bye [05:02] nice day === lotuspsychje__ is now known as lotuspsychje === murthy is now known as murthy_ [05:48] hi, am i allowed to ask for help here related to drivers customization? [05:50] good morning, i require some linux help. I am coming from Windows, but i am fed up with it. NOw my question is: [05:50] I have 150GB of free space and i am not sure how to setup it during Ubuntu instalation [05:51] 30 GB - root [05:51] 1 GB - boot, rest space - Home [05:51] can give swap double of your ram [05:53] So if understood it correctly: 10GB linuxswap; 30GB /. ; rest /home ? [05:53] yup [05:54] give some to boot if you want to install other OS as well [05:54] Thanks, i hope Ubuntu works better on Surface Book 2 then Manjaro KDE. [05:54] also enable esp or boot flag for boot partition [05:55] Shall i enable both flags? [05:55] yeah that would be fine [05:56] The format shall be on home ext4? [05:57] and what would be the format on the other partitions? [05:57] ext4 is fine for / [05:58] Do i need to create something for /var too? [05:58] / or root can contain home, so home can be ext4 [06:00] Well, I will be back if it did not work:D [06:00] i prefer separate home partition [06:00] see you later [06:01] i am working on a project where i have to customize hdmi video output [06:01] for that i thought i will start with existing drivers but couldn't found it [06:02] please need help or suggestions === murthy_ is now known as murthy [06:40] in 18.04, with netplan, where are other configs stored besides /etc/netplan? I cant get rid of my old interface config, even after reboot its still there [06:42] dirtwash: there is the /lib/netplan /etc/netplan and /run/netplan but that just holds the yaml file [06:42] now i remember why we get rid of netplan [06:43] tarzeau: yea im frikkin annoyed by it [06:43] Mead: thanks I have a look [06:43] your network config is actually held in the /lib/systemd/network /etc/systemd/network and /run/systemd/network [06:43] I love how devs always think they must change things that worked problemlfree for many many years, 'uh here is an idea, lets get rid of network/interfaces, its too simple' [06:43] yea systemd cancer [06:44] dirtwash: say thank you to redhat and canonical [06:44] ^ this is a discussion. and good morning. [06:44] tarzeau: apparently they got nobody on the team who speaks their mind [06:44] cant imagine they all agreed this was a great idea [06:45] I find it rather confusing when looking for help making configs and finding stuff for the predicessors to systemd, iproute2, and netplan [06:46] * Mead has been studying netplan and how it interacts with systemd [06:46] not to mention ip, ifconfig... [06:46] its a mess [06:46] please move to #ubuntu-discuss - thank you. [06:47] the ip command is superior, too bad it doesn't create precistant changes, just to the running config [06:47] Mead: well thanks for the info, I am gone here [06:52] hi [06:52] hello [06:53] is any one here [06:53] Hi [06:53] Howdy [06:53] i am new to irc [06:53] Guest98418: many. do you have a question on ubuntu support?

I set up ubuntu 18.04 fresh last night. I have an old logitech g15 keyboard. Unfortunately the windows key is not triggering the super key. I confirmed the keys are working using "xev" package (as in the keypress is detected). What would my next steps be? I googled around and solutions were varied. I am quite surprised to have such a hostile experience as this out the box :) === pstolowski is now known as pstolowski_ === pstolowski_ is now known as pstolowski === murthy_ is now known as murthy [07:35] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1059783/my-super-key-is-disabled-how-to-enable-it Do I really have to do this? [07:37] hi deanc, i never heard of this issue, it must be quite specific. what do you mean is hostile? [07:38] tomreyn: Hostile as in to new users such as myself. I happen to be quite comfortable with linux (on the server-side at least). having the keyboard work as expected (it's not an entirely unusual keyboard) should not require me to have to remap keys using a package that isn't installed by default [07:38] Anything that my mother couldn't figure out, I consider hostile (in terms of UX) === Videonauth_ is now known as Videonauth === evil|angel is now known as devil|angel [07:39] deanc: i see. it surely is specific in that your super key doesn't work as expected out of the box, since it does for almost everyone else. [07:40] tomreyn: unfortunately that seems to be the case [07:40] no, no, fortunately it is. unfortunate for you that you'Re one of the few. [07:42] deanc: does the workaround you found work for you, then? [07:42] I'll try tonight, when home from work. I'd like to know if there's something obvious and less involved than going to the cli that I might try first? [07:42] I have tried to check the config using sudo dpkg-recongigure keyboard-layout or whatevret the cmd is to no avail also [07:44] i think you've got the wrong layout or some config thing you did changed it [07:44] if xev is showing "ISO_Next_Group" === sinner is now known as Guest73949 === messer440 is now known as Guest28816 [08:01] Ben64: I've not done anything on this system whatsoever yet other than install vim :) === Noisette is now known as Noisette- === Noisette- is now known as Noisette === stitched_unicorn is now known as constantfun === mouses is now known as longcat [09:25] Any very technical guy who knows lvm very well can take a question?

[09:31] I've got a relatively fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 here on a machine that has had it before. I dual-boot into Windows 10 so I can cross-examine hardware as well. My issue: I have had difficulty getting DVDs to play. I've tried the default video application as well as VLC to no avail. I've also tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs ... Since installing libdvdcss (and rebooting as per [09:31] instructions), VLC is freezing when I try to run a disc with it, and the default application remains unchanged (i.e. not working). I;m thinking something went wrong with the installation of libdvdcss. I'm here to see if someone more saavy than I can help with its complete removal for a reboot and reinstallation. I'm also open to ideas and suggestions. Please note this disc drive is verified functional on Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows [09:31] 10, along with the DVDs being used for testing. The region of the disc drive is set to match the DVDs being used as well. [09:33] I;m betting I could use Synaptic to remove the codecs, but I don't want to remove something vital by mistake [09:35] I'd wager sudo apt remove libdvd-pkg would suffice, were I a betting person. I am not. [09:36] Or sudo apt-get remove libdvd-pkg perhaps [09:39] XsiSec: sounds like the bootloader is on sda? [09:40] XsiSec: do you have a live usb you can boot?
