[00:07] tomreyn, thanks I was using screen to connect to it; I just wanted the desktop to ignore it as a "modem" [00:07] Hey [00:08] lapidary: oh the desktop shows it as such, i see. hmm i'm not sure how to do this. maybe you could train network-manager to ignore the device, or udev to not treat it as a modem. [00:08] hi stevendale [00:08] Modem? What is this? 2004? [00:09] stevendale: a lot of things still support AT commands. but that's not the topic of this channel - got an ubuntu support question? [00:10] tomreyn: Just here to help [00:10] tomreyn, thanks I'll do some looking :-) [00:11] stevendale: good, then i'll head to bed. ;-) [00:11] good luck lapidary [00:11] Have a good night tomreyn [00:11] halp plz. I'm boot looping. It also looks like that user has been ecryptfs-ed which I don't recall doing [00:12] cryptorfrankenst: GRUB Menu and go into recovery mode, IIRC it's against channel guidelines to help people get into recovery [00:13] I've got root account access, but if it's against the rules ok [00:15] has ecryptfs ever been used as ransomware? [00:16] i don't think there's such a policy. [00:17] and i've only read about truecrypt / veracrypt being used for ransomware on linux [00:18] + custom aes encryption [00:18] machine was mostly airgapped except for adding packages and updates [00:19] tried all sorts of passwords. one blackscreens as if logging in then dumpsd me at the login screen again [00:20] I'm moving from mac to Ubuntu and started to like this (being a linux system admin) [00:20] Want to migrate my skype history to Ubuntu but not sure where is that on ubuntu 18.04 ? [00:20] Ctrl Alt F1 login says last login was ddmmyy etc. further down mentions keyring error [00:23] cryptorfrankenst: and this keyring error makes you think the system was ransomware encrypted? [00:24] not recalling enabling encryption is concerning me [00:24] kolaman: probably somewhere in ~/.skype* or ~/.config/skype* [00:24] not sure if the bootloop is related [00:26] cryptorfrankenst: boot it from a live usb and inspect the file system. [00:26] but i would guess it's probably just PPA getting in the way or similar. [00:26] * a [00:27] tomreyn: actually can't find that on these locations :( [00:28] kolaman: how did you install skype? can you point us to any documentation/instructions that you used? [00:29] used ubuntu software manager [00:29] pragmaticenigma: [00:29] I can get to the looping account home via root account login. It shows Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop in it's home folder [00:29] which seems to be related to ecryptfs [00:30] kolaman: have you launched skype yet? [00:31] cryptorfrankenst: yes that's what it sounds like [00:31] yes, I've launched and using that on ubuntu but want to transfer main.db from my mac machine [00:31] there's the ecryptfs-recover-private command [00:32] yeah I've tried some stackexchange / askubuntu / manual stuff [00:33] error on passphrase attempts [00:33] pragmaticenigma: [00:36] kolaman: try this: find ./ -type d -iname '*skype*' [00:38] pragmaticenigma: got this [00:38] ./snap/skype ./snap/skype/common/.config/skypeforlinux ./snap/skype/common/.config/skypeforlinux/SkypeRT [00:39] kolaman: that was run within your home directory? [00:39] yes [00:39] pragmaticenigma: [00:40] cryptorfrankenst: I've done this before for someone. There's a manual way to do it, although I'd have to google again how to do it. You have to kind of decrypt the key first and then use it to unlock and mount the file system to /tmp [00:40] kolaman: from what tomreyn had previously stated, look in those folders for your main.db file ... do take care to back up any file before you replace them with the copies from your Mac. [00:41] pragmaticenigma: actually under /home/n00b/snap/skype/common/.config/skypeforlinux I can see there is databases.db and databases.db-journal [00:41] but under this folder can find any main.db [00:41] can't* [00:41] rypervenche I saw something like this but it was beyond me [00:42] will check my tabs / history [00:42] it's also entirely possible that these softwares aren't actually compatible, completely separate softwares. [00:44] kolaman: like tomreyn mentions, it's possible that the Linux version of skype isn't compatible with the files from the other versions (Mac/Windows) [00:44] this is an old post, but may cmpletement the man page http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html [00:44] ^ cryptorfrankenst [00:45] thanks tomreyn [00:45] pragmaticenigma: tomreyn thanks, but I'd like 6+ years of skype history and don't want to loose that :( [00:46] cryptorfrankenst: maybe this helps, too https://askubuntu.com/questions/1035424/ubuntu-18-04-mount-encrypted-disk?noredirect=1&lq=1 [00:46] kolaman: understandable, good luck then! [00:46] kolaman: Unfortunately that isn't something that there is a solution for. You won't lose it since you backed it up. Some careful research online will probably yield a solution [01:18] Hello everyone. I'm new to Gnome desktop and would like to know how I can have different settings for the primary buttons on my input devices; I want my notebook's trackpad to be set up for right hand use and my trackball mouse for left hand use. I only see a single option in Settings/Devices/Mouse & Touchpad and it affects both devices. [01:19] I come from XFCE where every pointing devices has it's own settings and it was very easy to do this there but I have not found much online about this for Gnome. [01:19] Any help would be greatly appreciated. [01:27] you can attempt to use xinput but its pretty much the most worthless thing ever invented [01:34] newber: If you remember the application that you used in XFCE, you can probably install it under Gnome-Desktop to achieve the same effect. [01:44] pragmaticenigma, it was part of the XFCE settings. [01:46] Kyros, Haha. Worthless in what way? Would it get the job done? I'm quite shocked that Gnome doesn't do this out of the box. Seems rather basic. And people tend to make fun of XFCE for being lightweight... [01:46] newber: It's been awhile since I've used Xubuntu/XFCE, however, if I remember correctly XFCE settings where just a collection of tools inside a wrapper. (That's most of how settings works in Gnome-Desktop)... I'd recommend tracking it down. [01:47] xinput is part of the x11 server, it's not worthless per-se as anything that sets those settings is leveraging the same backends. It's more that it is very complicated to work with, which is why GUI's make the interfacing easier [01:47] pragmaticenigma, you could be right, even though since 4.12, they seemed to integrate together so nicely. [01:48] pragmaticenigma, Ah, I see. Thanks. [01:50] newber: This might be worth a read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multi-pointer_X [01:50] newber: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations [01:50] newber: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MPX [01:51] its not even complicated to use it just doesnt support anything useful [01:52] Btw, this is how the XFCE one looks. Easily to enable or disable any device from drop down menu and have separate settings for each. In my case, my screen has a wacom tablet feature built in which gets whacky sometimes and likes to move the mouse around, so it was nice to just kill it from there as needed. [01:52] https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse [01:54] While running `apt full-upgrade`, I get a TUI telling me "you will need a way to toggle the keyboard between the national layout and the standard Latin layout." [01:54] What's that about? [01:55] I think it's part of the "keyboard-configuration" package. [01:57] But I don't understand what that is for, really. I don't remember ever getting asked that question before, not even during the initial installation of the Ubuntu OS (18.04).

[03:32] atheodo, no problem but read that link carefully [03:32] or do we get support for hexchat here? [03:32] it was for 14.x [03:33] i found another article from a person who they just installed 18.x lts [03:33] atheodo, I don't know if there is a channel for hexchat but you can ask [03:33] and it went through without a hitch [03:33] thank you, how do I open a private chat window?

[03:39] swift110, i was trying to fix lirc remote and finally it worked [03:39] oh of course my apologies [03:41] (athedo) you mentioned working with raspberry pi. was that with UBUNTU MATE? IF SO, what format is for microsdxc/ubuntu mate? fat32? [03:46] qwebirc60046, ubuntu on a fat system sound like a bad idea [03:47] Instead of using cloning software. Can I use a bootable ubnutu install, and DD a HDD (win10) to a new SSD? [03:48] i used etcher [03:48] it was fat 32 [03:49] THX ATHEODO [03:49] ubuntu is too much for the raspeberrypi [03:49] so went back to raspian [03:49] that it can handle [03:49] used it to install a test mysql server [03:49] 3B+EVEN RASP B+ MATE?

[04:13] hi im a newbie to ubuntu and need to know how to install apps from tz files [04:15] need was tar.xz files [04:15] crankenstien: Need more information - what's the program name you are trying to install? [04:16] crankenstien, 'tz' files are tarballs usually; a compressed file that usally contains source that you ./configure, make, make install but you should follow the README or instructions created by the author [04:18] tar.xz was needed i made a typo [04:18] tar is short for tarball; the code after it tells you how it was compressed (eg. gz = gzip, bz=bzip ..) [04:21] hi all. if i download ubuntu to a usb/live will it have the drivers for whatevver laptop i want to try it on ie wifi [04:23] jcb2016, for better makes of components providing the Ubuntu release is newer than the components (+ time to design & manufacture) pretty good, for cheaper gear the lag is longer.. so depends (enterprise grade usually is better, and later releases...) [04:23] guiverc how do you open compressed files [04:24] crankenstien, if using a gui; your should be able to click on it & tell it to expand using your default file manager (thunar, pcmanfm-qt etc) - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [04:25] jcb2016 you can go into the live usb environment and if everything works then youre good but it usually works [04:25] ok thansk saba and guiverc [04:25] not always though [04:29] saba, or guiverc whats a good live/usb image i can download and try ubuntu? is 18.0.4 fine or is there another one [04:29] Anyone able to tell me how to script an ssh key passphrase? I have a script that connects to an SSH server, and it works just fine provided the passphrase for the key has been entered recently. But when I run it through cron, it needs the passphrase entered. [04:30] jcb2016, Ubuntu releases are yy.mm so 18.04 is 2018.April release, and being a LTS it comes with 5 years so yes. 18.04.2 is the latest and has HWE kernel so is better for newer hardware [04:30] 5 years of support ^ [04:31] thanks all === gms is now known as Guest75614 [05:09] I'm having an issue where /var/lib/php5 has a ton of files I can't delete even though I have sudo [05:10] I've tried changing permissions, renaming, moving ect but still getting access denied when using sudo [05:28] Guest48, is it a local file-system, or hosted elsewhere (the host may have restricted permissions beyond what your see; esp. if simfs etc) [05:29] local filesystem it's a AWS ubuntu image /dev/xvda1 is showing 100% inode usage which I've narrowed down to the php5 folder [05:35] hi I have a huge problem I was trying to edit my router by logging into it and change some settings and I accidentally kicked out my ethernet cord and now I can't get connected, icon showing the wired connection, it just keeps saying connecting. how can I fix it to show laptop that my cord is plugged in [05:37] ghostnik11: cant you access your router admin page?

[07:58] alles klar [07:58] bb === enko-h is now known as enko === elias_a is now known as Guest95051 [08:18] Yo, quick question [08:19] So I have a network drived mounted via samba. I can view it with nautilus and whatnot [08:19] However, I cannot save/open files from the network drive as the system's open file dialog that various apps use do not show mounted drives [08:20] I noticed that the mounted folder is in /run/user/1000/gkfs/ [08:20] Is there any way I can open/save files to the network drive via the file dialog? [08:20] For context, I'm trying to open a git repository on my network drive with gitkraken. [08:21] Assuming there's no way to add custom locations to the file open dialogue, you could create a symbolic link to the /run/user/1000/gkfs directory somewhere easily accessible like your home directory [08:21] run this from your home dir: "ln -s /run/user/1000/gkfs" [08:21] here's the issue though, gitkraken doesn't have permission to access that directory [08:21] That would create a directory called gkfs in your home dir which points to that location [08:21] so it would error if I clicked the symbolic link? [08:22] oh ok well that's a separate issue, there should be an option to mount read-write with Samba [08:22] I'm not running gitkraken as root [08:22] aka the app has no access to /run/ [08:22] can you, as your user, create and delete files in there? or is it just gitkraken? [08:22] Lemme check [08:22] just a sec === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [08:23] Yes, I can. [08:23] However gitkraken (the app) does not have access [08:23] it just says permission denied [08:25] oh heck [08:25] it worked [08:25] :D [08:26] @rory Ty [08:26] haha I'm not sure what I did, but I'll take it :) You're welcome. [08:27] Never thought to just use a symbolic link [08:27] It lets me access the files via the symbolic link [08:27] but I can't directly go to the folder [08:27] from fs root [08:27] weird... [08:27] There might be a proper way to add the directory to the file open dialogue. Maybe some Ubuntu expert will know. [08:27] I spent like 3 hours looking into it, the official answer is "you can't." [08:27] you would be able to type in the full path into the filename dialogue on that box and it woould browse to there [08:28] symlink is just a kind of hack [08:28] just remember it's there, and don't rm -rf your home directory or it might traverse the mount and delete everything on the samba share. [08:29] If I deleted the symlink, would it delete the folder it links to? [08:29] *delete [08:31] Ok yeah the symlink doesn't work actually [08:31] just tried opening the repo there, gitkraken just gets booted [08:31] the official answer from what I've seen is "You can't" [08:31] aka apps can't access network drives [08:33] sure they can [08:33] surely the app doesn't know if a particular file is "really" a network drive [08:33] That is all abstracted away by the filesystem. This is my assumption though. Maybe Samba is different from e.g. mounting using a FUSE filesystem [08:35] @rory I'm just tryna mount my NAS (Hard drive plugged into my router via USB). It has all of my repos on it. I'm then trying to connect to the repo with my gitkraken client. [08:35] Problem is, the open file dialog doesn't like network paths [08:35] if I ctrl L and manually type in the smb://Server/Folder, the file dialog just closes [08:36] The reason I have to use gitkraken in linux is due to the windows issue of long filenames [08:38] hi all [08:39] ah yeah I doubt you'd be able to pass in smb:// URL as that's not a standard file path. nautilus happens to understand it, and knows where to take you [08:39] but in the generic case you would need to access that path you mentioned, /run/whatever [08:40] on bionic, run the update, openjfx is installed but /usr/share/java/openjfx/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar is no more? [08:40] bionic 18.04.2 [08:40] any hint? === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner [08:41] What's the easiest way to mount my NAS and give apps access to it [08:41] I've been at this problem for like 5 hours lol [08:41] qwebirc28720: you can mount using cifs [08:42] then set permissions and mount point [08:42] qwebirc28720: check here https://askubuntu.com/a/33565/62969 [08:42] Yeah I've been trying cifs, but the same issue occurs - Cannot access network drive from open file [08:42] qwebirc28720: you will never be able to enter smb://whatever into file-open dialogue and have it work [08:42] It's not even smb://, it's that the mount does not show up on the open file window [08:42] qwebirc28720: but you CAN use cifs to mount your Samba share to a custom, easily accessible location [08:43] And I can't nabigate the filesystem root because the app isn't running with elevated privelages [08:43] Oh hmm, but it DOES show in the output of "mount -a" command? [08:43] ensure it's mounted with ,rw,user,noauto options as per that askubuntu response. [08:44] lemme try mounting in media === El_Jochos72 is now known as El_Jochos [08:46] ... so I made the folder in media [08:46] but mount states that the folder doesn't exist [08:46] sudo mkdir /media/NetworkStorage [08:47] sudo mount -t cifs -o user=binarybyte,password=notsaying //10.0.0.1/Network_Storage/ /media/NetworkStorage [08:47] According to mount, /media/NetworkStorage is non existant [08:47] Yet it physically exists... [08:50] hi [08:52] At this point I think I'm going to just go back to windows and deal with windows puking with git [08:53] Thank you all for the help though ;D [08:56] bhxhxhxhchc [08:56] chfjcjcjcjcjcjcjcj [08:56] !isitoutyet [08:56] no, not yet out. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseSchedule [08:58] sorry guys my gf’s cat === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL === Leion1 is now known as Leion [09:28] UPSTART: r there news when canonical is going to replace upstart by systemd? [09:36] its been a while....2014....starting to sort out upstart with ubuntu14.10 (https://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316) [09:42] drJekyll_: Ubuntu is systemd since 15.04. If you're still on 14.04, consider upgrade as it's going ESM (paid support only) this month. [09:51] blackflow: , thx. i read it in the ubuntuWiki: https://pastebin.com/mRwp47Vv ....that it is not is finally removed from ubuntu. [09:55] 'Morning folks [10:00] drJekyll_: 15.04 is no longer supported for years. There's no more upstart, but some services might still have sysvinit scripts that are wrapped around by systemd via generator, but this is coming from Debian which still considers itself supporting sysv. === Class7_ is now known as Class7 [10:14] We have SMB shares being accessed by Ubuntu users who are getting this kind of error from time to time: rsync: read errors mapping "/run/user/1902118137/gvfs/smb-share:server=tank,share=datadump/20180401/wrfout_d03_2018-04-02_010000": Invalid argument (22). The same data will be readable after restarting the script which is reading this data. But then some hours later the same failure error will occur. [10:15] blackflow: got it. thx a lot. :) [10:19] zetheroo: from what I read for "rsync invalid argument 22" on google, it appears rsync is trying an operation that's unsupported by the remote fs, like chown or something like that. === Tin_man is now known as Guest70135 [10:21] Odd, I can change my sound output device [10:21] I pick "Digital Output (S/PDIF) - FiiO USB Audio Class 2.0 DAC" in settings, close the window, and reopen it. [10:21] And it returns to "Speaker - Built-in Audio" [10:22] !enter | k_sze[work] [10:22] k_sze[work]: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. [10:26] blackflow: hmm .. ok [10:31] I need a command to use all cores of my computer. Xubuntu 18.04 [10:36] Hi all [10:36] Hey [10:37] hi gtgtgt - you are looking for "stress testing" software - the usual recommendation is "stress" or "stress-ng". Be careful with these because you can damage your hardware. [10:38] I downloaded a Ubuntu system from the Ubuntu website, on another computer. But I have to manipulate the startup procedure, as it has a windows system, so I can boot into the linux system. I'm not familiar with that process. Is there an easier way of selecting which system you wanna boot into, at startup? [10:39] rory: beginner here. Whats the point of having multiple cores, if I can only use one safely? [10:39] gtgtgt: Linux automatically handles multiple cores for you [10:39] gtgtgt: What is your overall question, that led you to ask about using all cores of the computer? [10:40] Oh hello [10:40] Has anyone used peppermint? [10:40] using it for an old laptop [10:41] rory: I am now editing a large pdf file into smaller chunks with pdfmod. With htop I see only one core is being used, the other 3 not. It is very loud (fan). I thought it would be a good idea to use all 4 cores to speed it up (each pdf page includes large graphics, it is slow) [10:41] gtgtgt: If the application (pdfmod) is inherently single threaded, it will only consume one core [10:41] gtgtgt: You could run 4 different pdfmod processes, so you could process 4 diffeent files in parallel [10:42] rory: well, thats a workaround :D [10:42] gtgtgt: but unless pdfmod program ittself, is written to make use of multiple cores, it won't automatically spread the load [10:43] rory: and there is nothing I can do to use more cores, because that is dependant on each application [10:43] of* [10:43] of* [10:43] That's correct. [10:43] all right then... thanks a lot rory and deadman87 [10:43] you're welcome :) [10:44] If you have multiple PDF files, you could start 4 processes. 1 for each file. Linux will automatically allocate each process to a core. [10:44]
