OerHeksi see that H bug-154897300:30
tomreynOerHeks: so you got the update through the 'studies' channel. but apparently that's not a fully reliable workaround which works for everyone. and not everyone may want to enable studies. so a complete fix is needed, which is why mozilla released an update (and ubuntu will likely need to do the same).00:33

pressure679Fedora 24 or 26 worked well with the Intel Pstates driver in regards to either throttling or at least lowering the temperature of the CPU to ~38 degrees, a recent update of the Linux kernel 4.19 has an improvement in regards to this, but it is not available for Ubuntu 18.04, is it in 18.10 or 19.04? Is it better maybe? Or are there other tools than say PowerTop, TLP, Laptop-Mode, TuneD, to make Linux02:11
pressure679more like a MicroKernel than MonoLithic?02:11
pressure679A WebSite wrote an improvement to lowering the amount of Pstates, maybe this is also obtainable by lowering the min/max frequency of the CPU?02:13
tomreynpressure679: since you are referring to a specific issue and seem to know a lot of details about it already, i'd suggest you look up the corresponding bug report in ubuntu and any workarounds discussed there.02:15
tomreynif you already know the corresponding bug report, you should point to it while asking any pursuing questions02:16
pressure679It is quite strange when the Intel Pstates driver is paired with the ACPI. Is the stock CPU driver by Linux/Ubuntu better integrated by the with the kernel and machine?02:16
tomreynsince 18.04 is an LTS release, itis entirely possible that any fixed or workarounds applied to newer kernel.org versions were backported to ubuntu's kernel.02:17
Croranevtest gives me the same result. Alt key unexpectedly marked as released (value 0) as soon as I hit PrtSc.02:18
pressure679Hmm, anyhow, the CPU allegedly should last about 20 years anyway, more than the other parts. (iGPU seems smart, but the temperature is higher than a dedicated GPU).02:21
pressure679- than with a dedicated GPU:02:21

jcottonprobably not02:58
sappheirosLCD doesn't save energy being dimmer??02:59
jcottonif you dim the whole screen02:59
pressure679Of course this is about the Linux kernel version in Ubuntu, not Ubuntu exclusively (temperature zones).02:59
tatertotzif you REALLY want to save $ on electricity....turn it all OFF02:59
jcottonoh yeah that's LCD02:59
jcottonsappheiros: the backlight is the same brightness across the entire screen02:59
jcottonyou get dimmer colors b/c the LCD crystals change shape to let more or less light through02:59
jcottonOLED on the other hand can dim or shut off individual pixels03:00

MythHello. Latest update seems to have broken my Firefox browser on Ubuntu 18.04LTS. I am unable to regain function of my browser extensions. Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox did not work. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks05:03
lotuspsychjeMyth: this bug is comming from upstream, when the ubuntu developers receive the fix, the updates will come to your system05:05
Mythlotuspsychje, Ah, I see. Bummer. Thanks for the heads-up05:06
snakedMyth, it's a problem on Firefox side of things. Mozilla let a security certificate used to sign extensions lapse. So the browser no longer trusts any extensions.05:06
snakedThey have a writeup on it here: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/05:06
Mythsnaked, Thanks. Looking at that now. What a pain :/05:07
MythI'm sure it will be fixed in a few days05:07
MythHey, thanks to you guys, I can stop messing around trying to fix it. Probably saved me quite a lot of hassle! I appreciate that05:09
snakedDid you try the studies kludge?05:09
snakedThat seems to be working for most people.05:09
lotuspsychjeMyth snaked my firefox addons fixxed without doing anything here05:09
snakedI think you either have "studies" enabled or my information is out of date ;)05:10
Mythsnaked, I'll have a look05:10
Mythlotuspsychje, Lucky you. Maybe snaked is right05:10
nisstyreI was able to fix the issue by installing nightly, then doing `firefox -ProfileManager` to switch to my main profile05:10
nisstyreof course that's not for everyone05:10
nisstyreI would personally rather not enable "studies"05:10
lotuspsychjesnaked: i didnt change settings, so i assume its enabled by default?05:11
MythLooks like I've had it enabled, so not that. Only thing checked in Preferences there was "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla"05:11
MythExcuse me, I meant I've had it DISABLED05:12
MythNo changes there05:12
lotuspsychjeMyth: its the line, under05:12
lotuspsychjeMyth: allow firefox to do studies05:12
nisstyrekeep in mind that that will send your data to Mozilla05:12
MythOh, I see. Enable that for a possible workaround?05:12
Mythnisstyre, Right. Good point05:13
lotuspsychjeMyth: you can try on your own risk sure05:13
Kon-It's not necessry to enable studies. One simply needs to manually install the fix located here https://storage.googleapis.com/moz-fx-normandy-prod-addons/extensions/hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate%40mozilla.com-1.0.2-signed.xpi05:13
nisstyreyou can do that or install nightly05:13
Kon-Believe it or not Mozilla developers hosted the file at that location. The URL is pulled directly from Mozilla's Normandy system, which deploys these things05:13
lotuspsychjeKon-: wont that be in the next firefox update?05:13
Kon-Yes lotuspsychje05:13
Kon-This is for people who don't want to wait05:14
Kon-And don't want to opt-in to Studies05:14
lotuspsychjeKon-: so best to wait, to avoid malicious links in here05:14
Kon-Again, this link was provided by Mozilla05:14
MythKon-, Thank goodness. My browser experience is quite rubbish without my preferred add-on05:14
lotuspsychjeyes i know Kon- but you know how it goes here in #ubuntu05:14
nisstyreKon-: wouldn't you have to click through a warning to install that though? since the certificate that signs xpi files is broken?05:14
snaked"Rubbish" is an exceptionally diplomatic way to describe the web without blockers, Myth :D05:14
Mythsnaked, idn't it though?05:15
nisstyrealso weirdly my firefox is not broken on one machine05:15
nisstyreand I didn't do anything05:15
nisstyreI wonder if I disabled something a while ago and forgot05:15
snakedDifferent versions? Different configurations?05:15
Kon-On my machine I have been able to work around it by simply setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false05:16
MythI rebooted the browser, Kon, but the fix isn't qorking. Any ideas where I missed the mark?05:16
nisstyreKon-: keep in mind that you should not keep that disabled05:16
Kon-No, because I didn't try that update05:16
MythFair play05:16
Kon-nisstyre: Naturally, not good to keep off when installing addons05:16
nisstyrethe best solution is to just wait or install nightly, imo05:16
snakedKon-, that's what I did personally and it has worked. Apparently that preference isn't enabled on every version.05:16
lotuspsychjenisstyre: indeed, wait for official updates05:17
Mythnisstyre, Not used Nightly05:17
nisstyreit's easy05:17
snakedI'll switch it back and simply not allow extensions to update until the crisis is resolved.05:17
MythUnfamiliar to me, and like my cat, I too fear change05:17
Kon-You can run the tarballs of 66.0.4 right now as well, making this all a bit moot. Just copy over your profile folder05:18
Kon-Mozilla has already deployed the official fix. Just waiting on distro packagers05:18
nisstyrefirefox -ProfileManager usually works for that05:18
MythLooks like I'll have to. The hotfix isn't happening here05:18
lotuspsychjeMyth: wich FF version are you on?05:19
Mythlotuspsychje, 66.0.3 (64-bit)05:19
lotuspsychjeMyth: same, and addons fixxed here with that studies enabled by default05:20
Mythlotuspsychje, It may come to that...05:20
lotuspsychjemaybe its also country/repo related05:20
MythMy inner conspiracy theorist is going nuts05:21
Kon-If you already enabled Studies, you still have to wait for your status to update. That's why some users recommended changing the update interval to 1 second (really not recommended unless you change it back immediately)05:21
snakedHah, I missed that detail.05:21
Mythugh...05:21
MythLess than elegant05:22
MythBarbary!05:22
lotuspsychjei never touched settings here, so i presume bionic has that enabled by default, can anyone confirm?05:22
Mythlotuspsychje, I think that is correct05:22
MythEvery new install and I have to check that over05:23
MythI think I'll give it until Tuesday. If it isn't fixed by then, I'm going to tear my browser apart like an angry kid with legos05:25

blogtenhi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a bcache device, which is caching a partition of an mdadm array.  installation proceeds until the grub installer crashes.  others appear to have reported similar bugs in Launchpad but without comments.  how do I figure what's wrong?09:47
lotuspsychjeblogten: please next time before filing a new bug, come here and ask first09:48

lotuspsychjeblogten: now you created, please also mention this togheter with your question09:49
ducasseblogten: which installer are you using?09:52
blogtenI booted the live 18.04 LTS installer, then used the installer from the desktop09:52
blogtenI *suspect* what's going on is that the bootloader wants an actual partition rather than a block device, do you know where I might find the install logs that could contain grub installer failure text?09:53
ducasseblogten: you can run the installer with 'sudo ubiquity -b', then install grub manually09:56

jeremy31blogten, mount the install and EFI partitions, chroot and install grub10:33
blogtenyeah, I'm trying to get the installer to go away, it won't close by itself and I'm considering kill -9 now10:34
blogtenyou mean, after chroot'ing into the mounted root partition for the install, something like apt install grub?10:37
EriC^^blogten: start the installer with ubiquity -b10:37
EriC^^it'll refrain from installing grub10:37
EriC^^then chroot and install it and see what's going on, i've seen grub crash with uefi on a user here when his nvram was set to readonly fwiw10:38
EriC^^in that case you'd need either a bios update from the manuf. or just use the default bootloader path for windows as ubuntu's grub (efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi)10:39
EriC^^and possibly edit os-prober's 20microsoft file to look for a different windows bootloader  such as bootmgfwreal.efi and rename it if you ever intend to install windows and dual boot10:40
blogtenlooking into the chroot thing... first, installed mdadm on the new install because it was missing...10:41
blogtenbcache-tools was also missing, so installing that...10:42
blogtengrub2 installed without complaint via apt10:45
EriC^^you dont want grub210:45
EriC^^grub2 is grub-pc which is grub for legacy booting10:45
blogtenwhy would the installer want to install that then?10:45
EriC^^i thought it mentioned grub-efi-*?10:45
EriC^^did you chroot or are you still in the live usb?10:46
EriC^^and did you mount the efi partition if you chrooted?10:46
blogtenyes, and the text displayed by the installer about the time it failed said it was installing 'grub2' (literally, with the quotes and everything)10:46
blogtenthis is all chrooted now10:47
EriC^^blogten: type 'ls /sys/firmware/efi'10:47
EriC^^does the dir exist or no?10:47
blogtenI see a bunch of files and directories there10:47

blogtenfascinating, it says "efibootmgr: option requires an argument -- 'd'"10:57
roboircnevermind figuring it out10:58
roboircbrb10:58
blogtenfurther down, it says -d determines the disk for the bootloader, defaults to /dev/sda.  but that's not gonna work in this setup10:58
blogtenlater on, grub-install fails before efibootmgr fails to register the boot entry (presumably because -d was missing an argument)10:58
blogtengrub-install finally runs efibootmgr -c -d, but does not provide a directory for -d, and then efibootmgr complains11:06
blogtenthis is looking at the output of grub-install -v --efi-directory=/boot/efi11:06

adaclotuspsychje, kk cool thanks!11:19
blogtenI don't understand how is it that one can do a fresh install on the bcache device on top of the raid array, after adding / changing partitions etc, and the first boot sends me to an old linux install that surely should have been deleted by now11:29
bazuljesus some really dumb people running a pc store where I buy most of my stuff11:40
blackflowblogten: grub was probably not configured or was misconfigured, perhaps os prober found both your installations and defaulted to the wrong one. at any rate, that's where you should look at11:41
blogtenit's really bizarre, the linux install that booted up was installed in different partitions, and yet booted anyway...11:42
blogtenobviously I don't understand and it's my problem, nevertheless I'm surprised just the installation bit is so difficult...11:42
blogtenor rather, *this* difficult (rather than *so* difficult)11:43
blogtenit shouldn't be hard.  1: set up software raid 1 for two hdds.  2.  on one of the partitions of the raid 1 array, set up a bcache device.  3.  install on the bcache device (and thus on the raid array).11:44
blogtenit just feels like there are a multitude of roadblocks11:44
blackflowblogten: I'd really recommend you look into ZFS or (if you have to) btrfs, instead of this bcache atop of raid loosely integrated mess.11:52
blogtenwell, that was the second plan anyway11:55
blogtenin *my* system, which *I* had originally configured, there is hardware RAID and no nvme (older box)11:55
blogtenbut that's a 6 year old box11:56
blogtenthen the suggestion came "you don't want hardware RAID because if the controller fails you don't know you will ever get the data out"11:56
blogtenthis came with a suitable horror story11:56
blogtenso ok, software raid it is (and hence mdadm into the picture)11:57
blogtenbut then of course you want nvme speed out of that, without the horror story of the flash device failing catastrophically on you, and neither doing raid 1 so they both fail at the same time (never mind the expense), and neither getting huge nvme devices to have rust-size storage at a reasonable price11:58
blogtenand this is how the bcache on top of mdadm suggestion came in11:58
blogtenand what I am finding is that, in practice, it's a huge PITA11:58
blogtenor, of course, the next suggestion will be that I am as yet uneducated on how to deal with this11:59
blackflowblogten: bacache + mdadm are not integrated, like btrfs or zfs internals are12:00
blackflowblogten: and I remember seeing some nasty data-eating bugs about bcache few months ago. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.12:00
blogtenwell now I am reading on that too... first thing was to figure out if zfs was even supported on linux because e.g. I do not remember the installer giving the option to install on zgs...12:01
blogtendo you mean bcache, or bcachefs?12:01
blackflowblogten: the installer doesn't yet support it, chances are 20.04 will have it.   but then you can install it manually, with debootstrap. that's how I install ubuntu anyway.12:01
blackflowblogten: bcache. bcachefs is nowhere near ready to be touched.12:01
blackflowI've got dozens of servers and some desktops, all installed with debootstrap, root on ZFS on LUKS. Learning how to is critical to understanding the filesystem and knowing how to fix any later breakage, or do regular maintenance (eg. swapping out drives for the raid)12:03
munskinghello12:11
pragmaticenigmahello munsking12:11
blogtenI am sure debootstrap, and ZFS, and many others can be studied and mastered.  at some point though, I wish people writing these tons of very complicated software would kindly consider the day only has 24 hours and people have their own things to do12:12
pragmaticenigmablogten: For discussions and commentary, please consider the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. It's preferred to keep this channel for support specific questions and answers12:13
blogtenI suspect the problem with bcache you referred to is that 2017 thread from the linux-bcache mailing list pointing out data races with 4.14 kernels12:13
munskingi've got an issue with VLC and teamviewer on ubuntu 18.10, vlc runs fine, but as soon as i start a teamviewer session vlc mutes, i can't find any working solution for this anywhere :/ has anyone here had similar issues and managed to fix it?12:13
pragmaticenigmamunsking: Look into Team Viewer and see if it has any options for sound redirection. I don't believe it is muting the audio, as much as it is trying to capture the audio to send to the remote viewer12:15
tuxinatormunsking: i assume teamviewer is somehow redirecting audio12:15
tuxinatorpragmaticenigma: you won :-) 1 sec faster than me :D12:15
cfhowlettmunsking/ if teamviewer is seizing audio priority, perhaps disable output i/o?12:16
munskingpragmaticenigma, tuxinator i guessed as much but i can't find anything for that... it didn't do that on other *buntus (using kubuntu now)12:17
munskingcfhowlett, hmm how?12:17
tuxinatormunsking: different versions of teamviewer? they changed a lot and if i remember they changed form wine version to a native one for Linux12:17
cfhowlettmunsking/ presumably teamviewer settings12:18
munskingtuxinator, nope, still using v12 since by boss doesn't want to pay12:18
blackflowblogten: the complexity of the software is matching the functionality and benefits it offers.12:20
tuxinatormunsking: payment does not rely on version i think12:20
munskingtuxinator, we'd have to update the license to a subscription, he bought it with a pay once license12:21
munskingoh i fixed it, i set the audio output in teamviewer to the graphics card and i don't have monitors with audio (even if i did, still fine i guess)12:22

tsgloveYes, I set the "local" DNS.    Let me see if I can try with 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.813:48
pragmaticenigmatsglove: In my experience, it is best not to set static IP addresses manually on the system. Instead setup the DHCP server to reserve and assign a specified IP address for that computer. That way you will not have to manage any of these settings, and new settings (like new DNS settings) can automatically be updated when the system rechecks its IP address reserve13:50
tsglovepragmaticenigma, true.  I did the static because if I wait for the sys-admin to reserve the MAC with the IP... it'll take a while.   Let me see if I can inspire him to do it now.13:52
pragmaticenigmatsglove: I would discourage setting a static IP address on a network you do not control. You will cause IP conflicts and other issues if the network admin changes settings.13:53

stonedneed to do a minimal install anyway, every update is too many mb to download14:30
stonedtoo many packets i don't even use14:30
lordcirth__stoned, also, don't run ncdu as root next time; you shouldn't need it to just look14:30
stonedI learned my lesson14:30
stonedthank you dar lord14:31
stoneddear*14:31
stonedI have s usb already prepared with 18.04 kubuntu lts on it. everything in .home is configured already. I just have to install kubuntu again, install xmonad, xmobar, dmenu, suckles tools, and I'm golden. oh and chrome, vim and vagrant.14:32
stonedI stupidly browsed around ubuntu software thingy and installed a lot of stuff to check it out. bloated my pc14:32
CookieMthat’s why server editions don’t have graphical session packaged installed–less packaged=less dependencies=more stable system14:34
stonedwhat is a good terminal with transparency? I don't need composite or anything14:35
stonedNo, kubuntu has minimal install option14:35
stonedyou don't have to use the full kde suit like kde pim and all that14:35
CookieMpackaged/packages14:35
stonedit's just a browser, kubuntu base and some bare min apps14:35
CookieMaha14:35
stonedthat's minimal enough for me14:35
stonedI didn't mean the actual minimal install from netinst iso14:35

ubottu#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!14:36
stonedThough that is always an option, and one can use tasksel later to determine what software to get14:36
stonedwhat is a good terminal with transparency? I don't need composite or anything, even fake transparency is ok. I tried terminix or terminology or tilix and they all have an issue where every split or tiled new terminal mdi window or regular window also splits the background14:38
=== mrelcee_ is now known as mrelcee
stonedso every new terminal window has a version of the background in it,  just smaller14:38
stonedI would like a terminal like urxvt which no matterhow many you have tiled on screen, the background remains the same size, and no breaks, no seams14:39
stoneddos this make sense?14:39
stonedbut urxvt is old and has its own issues.14:39
lotuspsychjeeasy with the enter button stoned14:40
stonedI use it because of perl plugins. Any suggesitons? just need transparency to test out14:40
stonedok14:40
lordcirth__stoned, why not use tmux instead of splitting your terminal?14:40
stonedsometimes you need to view multiple terminals together14:40
ghosalmartinlordcirth__ yes mobo raid, also it seems that secureboot was fucking some stuff up14:40
stonedfor example14:41
lordcirth__!ohmy | ghosalmartin14:41
ubottughosalmartin: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList14:41
lordcirth__ghosalmartin, so, did you fix it already? As you said "was"14:41
ghosalmartinlordcirth__, yeah seems to of fixed the issue, i need to reinstall since it seems i messed up my password14:42
lordcirth__ghosalmartin, ok. By the way, I'd recommend using mdraid instead of your motherboard's14:42
ghosalmartinyeah I saw that and attempted to set it up, but ijn the end i gave up. i saw a few articles and the diff was negligible tbf. i am using it as a build machine14:43
stonedit's not a good idea to use firmware raid from motherboard. if something goes wrong with mobo, you have to replace it with the exact same one and can't rebuild your raid.14:43
ghosalmartinthats fine am going for raid014:43
stonedit's highly recommended to use software raid14:43
lordcirth__^ yes, that. Also mdraid shows you status and rebuild progress and so on14:43
ghosalmartinhonestly all the important stuff is in git, so no need to worry about it14:43
stonedcpus are plenty fast these days so using sw raid is ok14:43
lordcirth__ghosalmartin, what problem did you have setting up mdraid? It's fairly simple14:43
ghosalmartinlordcirth__, tbh when i tried it i was attempting it with manjaro, and the installer wouldnt pick up the created array14:44
ghosalmartinboth normal and architect14:44
lordcirth__ghosalmartin, ah. Well the Ubuntu installer makes it very easy14:44
ghosalmartinyeah i used that first, but after hitting a brick wall with fakeraid i wanted to make sure it wasnt a dist issue and lot ofs people are raving about manjaro atm14:45
ghosalmartinlong story short it was all a secureboot issue. its odd how secureboot didn't break when i installed it on only 1 drive14:45
ghosalmartinafter that was disabled it sailed through14:46
Azjowhat does it mean when i get kicked back to login just because i open up firefox? LTS 18.04 live14:46
stonedhttps://imgur.com/a/j3tsvza here's a shot of the rxvt terminals. irc on top, another terminal on bottom. You see how two terminal windows are tiled. Any other terminal with transparency, you will see the same background, smaller, in each tiled window.14:46
stonedrxvt-unicode-256color is the only terminal which display the background properly among tiled/many windows14:47
stonedit's because I run weechat on my vps in screen, and I run screen at homelocally too, and I don't want todo screen inside screen. Too many contrl +a pushes14:47
Azjowhats the fastest way to remotely control ubuntu from windows?14:48
leftyfbAzjo: control in what sense?14:49
Azjoremote gui14:49

leftyfbAzjo: please follow the instructions in the link I gave you14:52
Azjowhat does it mean when i get kicked back to login screen when i open firefox??14:52
Azjoyes stoned14:52
leftyfbAzjo: that is a completely different issue. What version of ubuntu are you running?14:52
Azjowell, i just want to install teamviewer but i cant do that without firefox14:53
stonedthere is also ssh -X.14:53
leftyfbstoned: that will not work on Windows without an X server installed14:53
leftyfbAzjo: I see you mentioned "LTS 18.04 live". Is Ubuntu installed or are you running this from a live cd/usb?14:53
Azjolive usb14:54
leftyfbAzjo: ok, install ubuntu14:54
Azjough14:54
stonedYou can run Xming or something on windows, forward x11 traffic from ubuntu, and run putty to ssh in to ubuntu, and run xclient apps, which then will run on your local windows x server14:54
Azjothats not the point of live usb is it14:54
stonedyou can do this on live too14:54
leftyfbAzjo: every time you reboot, you lose all your changes14:54
Azjohow do i solve firefox doing this bug when i open it?14:54
stonedI don't know. I use chromium14:55
leftyfbAzjo: try booting into the live usb again14:55
stonedbye14:56
Azjodo i have to set it to run in a special way perhaps?14:56
Azjoalso, i remember trying a live version where it saved everything on the go?15:00
OerHekslive iso is read only, you could try to make a livce usb with persistence part15:00

Azjoi just installed ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it keeps kicking me out to login within 10 seconds. what do i do?15:48
thneeI tried editing both /etc/profile and /etc/environment, but it is not getting picked up. Is this because this is in a docker container? And they "optimized" away that part or something?15:50
Azjo?? i need an email in order to get live patches?15:50
Azjoi keep getting kicked out to login.. this is bs15:52
kinghatwonder how long it will take to get the ff desktop update?15:54

lotuspsychje!nomodeset | Azjo try this15:59
ubottuAzjo try this: 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 parameter15:59

lotuspsychjekinghat: i hope you understand fixing things takes some time16:04
OerHeksAzjo, your videocard/gpu is out of date, be happy with it.16:05
kinghatwhy doesnt mozilla have their own repo/builds?16:05
Azjobe happy with what? not being able to run ubuntu? :p16:05

Azjoi got putty now, can i not login to the ubuntu immediately or do i need to enable access to ssh?16:14
OerHeksyou need to install a ssh-service on the host, not installed by default16:16
Azjoi cant even run a terminal without getting kicked back to login16:17

Azjoperhaps unetbootin fucked up the live usb disk?16:23
Azjoyes on the machine, i literally cannot do much16:23
leftyfbAzjo: unetbootin is not supported anymore. Regardless, if you completed the ubuntu install and rebooted into the new install without the usb, then how to flashed the installer usb doesn't really matter. Just the iso you used.16:24
Azjofk it, reinstalling16:24
leftyfbAzjo: try flashing your usb using etcher.io16:24
Azjowell, i used the 18.04 LTS16:24

lordcirth__If someone has a 256MB computer, get them a better one.16:38
Azjoyeah, i wanted it to be this one16:39

stonedIf you don't know any other supported way to get latest/keep up to date the chromium browser, then that's okay. Maybe someone else does.16:47
lotuspsychje!latest | stoned16:48
ubottustoned: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.

leonardusI recently upgraded to 19.04, but I've had it work before on 19.04. I have an AMD GPU. It's possible that was caused it was me holding the power button to shut down, but not sure.17:45
lordcirth__leonardus, why did you hold it down? Was it frozen?17:46
leonardusYeah it was bugging out17:46
leonardusI had VLC open and it wouldn't exit fullscreen, and when it did, the desktop icons showed up over the video for some reason17:47

plundraIs there some neat way of never installing packages from a certain component, unless explicitly told so? Preferably also upgrading when it comes available, even with that component.17:57
leonardushttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/g6MLxu0O/irccloudcapture565143017091295589.jpg17:58
plundraI'd like to always explicitly install things from universe, to force a second round of thinking before using out-of-main packages.17:58
tomreynsappheiros: there is #ubuntu-discuss where such could be discussed and prepared. also have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop?action=info17:59
lordcirth__leonardus, please pipe it to 'nc termbin.com 9999' and post the link so I can see the text properly. Thanks17:59
lotuspsychjeplundra: give us an example please? you want some packages updated and some not?18:00

plundralotuspsychje: If I chose to install a package from universe, I'd like for it to be updated, yes. But I'd like installing the package in the first place from universe be a consious thing.18:01
lordcirth__lotuspsychje, I think plundra means that he wants universe packages to be updated, but not to install new ones without confirmation?18:01
leonardushttps://termbin.com/pqz318:02
plundralotuspsychje: Kinda like target release, but for components.18:02
lordcirth__leonardus, try rebooting, editing the default boot grub line, and adding 'nomodeset' to the end of the linux kernel line18:03
leonardusHow do I edit the default boot grub line?18:04
lordcirth__Grub shows the keys at the bottom. e, I think?18:04
leonardusdoesn't look like that fixed anything https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/J2tgccKD/irccloudcapture8413437187125682338.jpg18:07
tomreynplundra: the best approach is probabyl to run "apt show PACKAGE" before you decide to install a package, to see which section it is from. packages from main do not depends on packages in other sections (but maybe they will recommend some, not sure)18:10
tomreyn!apt-pinning18:10
tomreyn!pinning18:10
ubottupinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto18:10
tomreyn^ that's your other option. to set a Pin-Priority >=100 but <50018:11
tomreyn...for the universe / multiverse sections18:11
tomreynsee also apt_preferences(5)18:12
leonardusIs this salvageable? Considering a fresh install18:12
plundratomreyn: Yeah tried that, but can install things fine via name. Setting it ot negative I have to explicitly pick the version for it to work.18:12
plundraI've mostly used it with debian in the past and target releases, like apt-get -t experimental packagefoo18:13
plundraMaybe it's not possible to have something similar.18:13
tomreynplundra: not having those repositories enabled is always an option, too.18:14

qwebirc86811Hi all, hoping someone could help me out. I've installed Ubuntu for the first time, along side a windows 10 partition. I've managed to mount it, setting me as owner and setting permissions ot 777, but when I try to use a file (with docker-compose build), it says it doesn't have permission. I don't understand why.18:15
plundraSo I'd just like to force consiousness :) But yeah, will try to have it some other way.18:15
lordcirth__qwebirc86811, by "it" you mean your windows partition?18:15

dirtmaster88Pardon me if this has already been discussed but any word on when (or we can see the status) on Firefox getting updated to 66.0.4 in the Ubuntu repos? The certificate issue from the weekend that disables addons makes the browsing experience quite undesireable!18:16
lordcirth__Samyb, there was one release where the search would also search Amazon. That was then retracted.18:16
tomreynplundra: ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported   provides a list of packages outside of main/restrcited.18:16
OerHeksdirtmaster88, soon18:16
SamybSo for example keeping track of user data and sending it to marketers so they can provide more relevant ads18:16
lordcirth__leonardus, it should be salvageable, but if reinstalling isn't a problem for you, that might be easier.18:16
tomreynplundra: ...just dubbed "not supported" there18:16
dirtmaster88OerHeks: heh alrighty thx!18:17
lotuspsychjeSamyb: no thats not the case on ubuntu18:17
tylerhello18:17
Samyblordcirth__ oh I see that would explain it as any search on Amazon would lead to some user data collection right?18:17
tomreynplundra: so you could monitor this, build per system diffs, and use your whip.18:17
lordcirth__Samyb, it would, and people didn't like that, and it was pulled.18:18
lordcirth__tyler, hi18:18

I am looking at server logs /var/log/auth.log, and it says PAM: pam_open_session(): Module is unknown18:18
OerHeksSamyb, that was a hoax, Amazon never collected user data18:18
Samybok glad it was pulled. Thanks for the info lordcirth__ and lotuspsychje18:18

sealantlordcirth__: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/pam_google_authenticator.so18:21
OerHeksSamyb, oh oke, then it is not related to amazon seach18:21

lordcirth__qwebirc86811, it would probably be easiest to just copy the files over to your Linux filesystem.18:33

xrandrHi all. I was trying to use Wayland on Ubuntu 19.04. When I log in, it just boots me out to the login screen again. I am using lightdm as gdm was not working. Do I need to use the NVIDIA drivers provided by nvidia.com to make it work?19:13

causativeor perhaps just clearly display the last 50 keystrokes typed in that window21:19
causativesomething that effortlessly allows you to locate and switch to the right window21:19
zinnohi21:21
tomreyncausative: so mayn questions!  echo $$   tells you the process id of the current shell. the 'ps' command can show all or some of the running processes in different way. other utilities doing so are top, htop (and several others)21:22
jcottontmux might do that causative21:22
causativetomreyn, I mean a graphical interface, like alt-` in gnome21:22
tomreyncausative: there are process trees. processes started from a shell will (by default) be sub processes of the shell process, and can be indicated as such (with a tree view) with the above commands.21:23
tomreyncausative: gnome-system-monitor, on the "processes" tab, has a "dependencies" checkbox on the (three horizontal lines) menu which shows subprocesses.21:25
causativetomreyn, the problem I want to solve is, when I am in a terminal window and press alt-` to go to another terminal window, it's hard to distinguish the windows from each other visually due to the small size of the thumbnails.  I would like some summary information of what each window is doing displayed clearly on each thumbnail.  or use a different graphical system with the same effect21:27

Paddy_NICould anyone please help me with my display issue?22:07
xamithanI had that issue long ago and just set a custom resolution that matched the display22:09
xamithanNot sure if it is the same issue you are running into22:09
Patrick_NII got disconnected22:13
Patrick_NIVPN22:13
Patrick_NIxamithan, Perhaps that would work but which display do I target?22:13
xamithanThe display that is overlapping22:13
Patrick_NIOkay cool, what is the command?22:14
Patrick_NIxrandr I presume?22:14
xamithanhttp://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/04/custom-screen-resolution-ubuntu-desktop/22:14
xamithanxrandr to test it out yeah22:15
xamithanBefore you make it permanent22:15
tdsif you're using gnome and the positioning is off, you can also always edit ~/.config/monitors.xml by hand22:15
Patrick_NI17.04....22:15
Patrick_NIIs this still applicable?22:15
xamithanYes it's still gnome22:15
tomreyn!17.0422:15
ubottuUbuntu 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) was the 26th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 13th, 2018. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2018-January/000228.html22:15
Patrick_NIFair enough :-)22:15
Patrick_NItomreyn, ?22:16
Patrick_NIEverything alright there mate22:16
xamithanIn my case it was a tv that did 1360 instead of 136622:16
tomreynPatrick_NI: yes?22:16
tomreynPatrick_NI: if you run ubuntu 17.04, your system has been without security updates for over a year.22:17
xamithantomreyn: They're talking about the guide I linked22:17
Patrick_NItomreyn, I don't...22:17
tomreynah sorry, got that wrong22:17
Patrick_NItomreyn, A bit quick on the jump there22:17

Paddy_NItds, Editing that file does nothing unfortunately. Unless I am doing something wrong22:26
tdsPaddy_NI: keep in mind you'll need to log out and log back in again (or tell gnome to re-read it somehow)22:26
Paddy_NItds, I did22:26
tdsah :(22:26
Paddy_NII think xrandr is the answer22:27
Guest70302I installed the official flatpak ppa which seemed to render my pc unusable as it would freeze after 1-2 minutes. Installed Kubuntu again on another drive but need to mount my old luks encrypted drive to transfer over files; how can this be achieved?22:27
Guest70302I get: An unspecified error has occurred: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/dm_2d322:29
Paddy_NItomaw, Unfortunately that guide is not the answer22:29
Paddy_NItomaw, My monitor is outputting the correct mode, adding a new mode just duplicates what is already available and I am still left with the overlap22:30
Paddy_NII think if anything the far right side would get cropped off22:30
Guest70302Feel like you need to be a rocket scientist to work with hard drives on Linux -- about as user friendly as boeing 737 max controls!22:32
blazeme8What packages provides `less` with the ability to show the contents of .deb packages?22:34
NoImNotNineVoltmy coworker is claiming that unattended-upgrades is changing java alternatives (from 8 to 11) [18.04]22:35
NoImNotNineVoltis this possible?22:36
Paddy_NIGuest70302, I guess it depends on your level of need and experience.  I am ready to drop kick my computer over a 2 pixel overlap at present yet I know that it is not a difficult fix22:36
Paddy_NIGuest70302, Perhaps I will turn to drugs or alcohol...22:36
Paddy_NI:-)22:36

Guest70302Paddy_NI, I've nearly completed my CompSci Degree and I'm not even close to being able to use Linux effectively so what chance has the average computer user? I'm already intoxicated and it hasn't helped, might try the drugs next :P22:41
Guest70302Someone should make a user friendly distro... that would be game changing22:42
tonytthere is plenty of user friendly distros out there including ubuntu and many others22:43
xamithanGuest70302 Just use cryptsetup to decrypt the drive,  and mount it as normal22:44
xamithanOh wait it's udisk?  udiskctl then22:46
xamithan*udisksctl22:46
Guest70302xamithan, the encrypted partitions wont moutn22:54
Guest70302mount*22:54
xamithanEven after you decrypt them ?22:54
xamithanWhat's the error message22:54
Guest70302how do i decrypt them first22:54
xamithanudisksctl22:54
xamithanor either cryptsetup22:55
xamithanGparted should be able to do it as well if you need a GUI22:56

Guest70302xamithan, dont think gparted can mount any hard drives23:02
Guest70302dont see an option23:02
xamithanDidn't say it could,  but it can unlock LUKS23:02
Guest70302xamithan, thanks for the help but I cant access my files and I need to be up for work in 5 hours so I'm going to have to give up tonight. Should probably have stuck with the telescreen that is windows 1023:08

MarkB2Just booted the 'puter... and the displays are full of ?speckles?.  I remember once typing ALT-F2 and entering 'r' .. there would be a "restarting" popup.  Speckles gone ... until I move the mouse.. and now they're back.23:38
MarkB2Speckles seem to be only on the desktop.23:39
MarkB2Sorry... Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit, all up to date on patches.23:40
dormouse85Hello, I am currently running Ubuntu 19.04 and ran into a major issue with tracker and tracker-extract tonight. I was able to eventually "fix" it by setting all tracker services to disabled via .desktop files. I would like to submit a bug report because this was crippling and a very bad user experience. How would I go about doing that?23:52
