I am trynig to install it on my ubuntu tablet that I just set up today [02:01] qwebirc51635: if what you installed on your tablet is ubports(.com), then please /join #ubports [02:02] I am having some trouble with using the Alt key for keyboard shortcuts in Bionic. [02:02] running sudo showkey -k in a termal and then pressing Alt+PrtSc shows a press and release for keycode 56 (Alt) before another press for Alt and then press and release for PrtSc and then release for Alt. [02:02] I dont think its ubports [02:02] I didn't press Alt twice, so there should only be one release. I hope that gives someone a clue to help me.

[02:11] Fedora 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 Linux [02:11] more like a MicroKernel than MonoLithic? [02:13] A WebSite wrote an improvement to lowering the amount of Pstates, maybe this is also obtainable by lowering the min/max frequency of the CPU? [02:15] pressure679: 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. [02:16] if you already know the corresponding bug report, you should point to it while asking any pursuing questions [02:16] It 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? [02:17] since 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. [02:18] evtest gives me the same result. Alt key unexpectedly marked as released (value 0) as soon as I hit PrtSc. [02:21] Hmm, 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] - than with a dedicated GPU: [02:33] ok i'm going to try shutting down xorg and see what the behavior is with tty only [02:33] be back in a moment [02:37] LCD's are strange, but the level of detail have become marginally higher of them the since the 1940's. - Smaller crystals. === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman [02:44] !chat | pressure679, Croran [02:44] pressure679, Croran: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:51] (it iso mounts -o loop with no problem) [02:51] >iso-hybrid [02:51] you might be able to "flash" it with dd [02:52] the iso image includes the (grub) boot sector? [02:52] ericP: so you're using usb-creator-gtk on which ubuntu version? [02:52] my understanding is hybrid ISOs can be written that way [02:52] they can [02:53] lsb_release says ubuntu 18.10 [02:53] ok, gonna dd it. tx [02:53] ericP: cat should also work [02:53] need a root shell tho [02:53] does lubuntu have a night view where i can have a dark foreground and light text?

[02:56] you have OLED? [02:57] how do i know whether i need redshift or gtk-redshift? [02:57] (lubuntu 18.10) [02:57] the latter is a gui frontend to the former [02:57] iirc [02:57] dell latitude d620 [02:57] old laptop [02:57] want to save energy too though [02:57] sappheiros, redshift has the real functionality; redhisft-gtk provides a gui addon (ie. can be turned off, disabled awhile etc) for panel - yep it works on my lubuntu 19.10 [02:58] ericP: the raw device /dev/sdb [02:58] Eh, old laptops are cool though. [02:58] unless you turn down the brightness it won''t actually save energy sappheiros [02:58] that's not how LCD works [02:58] OLED yes [02:58] erm ... [02:58] how do i check my monitor specs? [02:58] lol [02:58] but it's like a 11 y old dell [02:58] sappheiros, redshift-gtk is the panel gui [02:58] so i guess it's not OLED? [02:58] probably not [02:59] LCD doesn't save energy being dimmer?? [02:59] if you dim the whole screen [02:59] Of course this is about the Linux kernel version in Ubuntu, not Ubuntu exclusively (temperature zones). [02:59] if you REALLY want to save $ on electricity....turn it all OFF [02:59] oh yeah that's LCD [02:59] sappheiros: the backlight is the same brightness across the entire screen [02:59] you get dimmer colors b/c the LCD crystals change shape to let more or less light through [03:00] OLED on the other hand can dim or shut off individual pixels [03:01] oh ... maybe that's why it still seemed bright when black screen ... (not off) [03:01] mhm [03:01] i mean, some light getting through [03:01] o_o [03:02] Enlightened metals :) [03:20] g'night [03:44] how much time does it take for firefox update to be updated in official package?

See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [03:46] yeah, i know that just wanted to ask about estimated time [03:47] pd09041999: the developers cannot set a release time when working on something, its out when its out [03:55] Can you use port syntax in /etc/hosts ? (ie: 127.0.0.1:80) <-- for port 80 ? [03:55] eg: 205.321.10.210:80 (made up example) [04:07] Hey all [04:07] how can I uninstall wine programs [04:13] mia: rm -rf ~/.wine [04:14] sorry,it was wrong. [04:14] Most easily, use q4wine=>uninstall [04:21] I figured out my alt+prtsc issue [04:22] If anyone cares. It was some kind of conflict with magic sysrq keys. [04:22] I ran echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq as root and now my alt+prtsc works correctly. [04:22] thanks oopuguin [05:03] Hello. 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. Thanks [05:05] Myth: this bug is comming from upstream, when the ubuntu developers receive the fix, the updates will come to your system [05:06] lotuspsychje, Ah, I see. Bummer. Thanks for the heads-up [05:06] Myth, 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] They have a writeup on it here: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/ [05:07] snaked, Thanks. Looking at that now. What a pain :/ [05:07] I'm sure it will be fixed in a few days [05:09] Hey, thanks to you guys, I can stop messing around trying to fix it. Probably saved me quite a lot of hassle! I appreciate that [05:09] Did you try the studies kludge? [05:09] That seems to be working for most people. [05:09] Myth snaked my firefox addons fixxed without doing anything here [05:10] I think you either have "studies" enabled or my information is out of date ;) [05:10] snaked, I'll have a look [05:10] lotuspsychje, Lucky you. Maybe snaked is right [05:10] I was able to fix the issue by installing nightly, then doing `firefox -ProfileManager` to switch to my main profile [05:10] of course that's not for everyone [05:10] I would personally rather not enable "studies" [05:11] snaked: i didnt change settings, so i assume its enabled by default? [05:11] Looks 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" [05:12] Excuse me, I meant I've had it DISABLED [05:12] No changes there [05:12] Myth: its the line, under [05:12] Myth: allow firefox to do studies [05:12] keep in mind that that will send your data to Mozilla [05:12] Oh, I see. Enable that for a possible workaround? [05:13] nisstyre, Right. Good point [05:13] Myth: you can try on your own risk sure [05:13] 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.xpi [05:13] you can do that or install nightly [05:13] 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 things [05:13] Kon-: wont that be in the next firefox update? [05:13] Yes lotuspsychje [05:14] This is for people who don't want to wait [05:14] And don't want to opt-in to Studies [05:14] Kon-: so best to wait, to avoid malicious links in here [05:14] Again, this link was provided by Mozilla [05:14] Kon-, Thank goodness. My browser experience is quite rubbish without my preferred add-on [05:14] yes i know Kon- but you know how it goes here in #ubuntu [05:14] Kon-: wouldn't you have to click through a warning to install that though? since the certificate that signs xpi files is broken? [05:14] "Rubbish" is an exceptionally diplomatic way to describe the web without blockers, Myth :D [05:15] snaked, idn't it though? [05:15] also weirdly my firefox is not broken on one machine [05:15] and I didn't do anything [05:15] I wonder if I disabled something a while ago and forgot [05:15] Different versions? Different configurations? [05:16] On my machine I have been able to work around it by simply setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false [05:16] I rebooted the browser, Kon, but the fix isn't qorking. Any ideas where I missed the mark? [05:16] Kon-: keep in mind that you should not keep that disabled [05:16] No, because I didn't try that update [05:16] Fair play [05:16] nisstyre: Naturally, not good to keep off when installing addons [05:16] the best solution is to just wait or install nightly, imo [05:16] Kon-, that's what I did personally and it has worked. Apparently that preference isn't enabled on every version. [05:17] nisstyre: indeed, wait for official updates [05:17] nisstyre, Not used Nightly [05:17] it's easy [05:17] I'll switch it back and simply not allow extensions to update until the crisis is resolved. [05:17] Unfamiliar to me, and like my cat, I too fear change [05:18] You can run the tarballs of 66.0.4 right now as well, making this all a bit moot. Just copy over your profile folder [05:18] Mozilla has already deployed the official fix. Just waiting on distro packagers [05:18] firefox -ProfileManager usually works for that [05:18] Looks like I'll have to. The hotfix isn't happening here [05:19] Myth: wich FF version are you on? [05:19] lotuspsychje, 66.0.3 (64-bit) [05:20] Myth: same, and addons fixxed here with that studies enabled by default [05:20] lotuspsychje, It may come to that... [05:20] maybe its also country/repo related [05:21] My inner conspiracy theorist is going nuts [05:21] 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] Hah, I missed that detail. [05:21] ugh... [05:22] Less than elegant [05:22] Barbary! [05:22] i never touched settings here, so i presume bionic has that enabled by default, can anyone confirm? [05:22] lotuspsychje, I think that is correct [05:23] Every new install and I have to check that over [05:25] I 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 legos [05:25] lotuspsychje: tomreyn filed LP bug 1827717 on that earlier - no mention of an Ubuntu version though - but I'd think all currently supported ones are affected.

[09:01] roboirc: i suggest you also add the output of this command to your report: grep -Eh '"(uuid|url|version)"' ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*/metadata.json [09:01] roboirc: this will list installed gnome extensions [09:01] *gnome-shell-extensions === qwebirc1341 is now known as KlintFeith [09:03] qwebirc91318: i don't think i understand your question, maybe just ask the same question differently again, or provide more context. [09:03] dpone [09:03] done [09:04] anyone know when Firefox 66.0.4 update will come (extensions disable fix)? [09:05] KlintFeith: we don't, but there's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1827727 which you can subscribe to [09:05] Launchpad bug 1827727 in Mozilla Firefox "All plugins disabled due to expired cert" [Critical,Confirmed] [09:05] tomreyn: Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I have Ubuntu installed as a dual boot. Is it possible to access that same installation ie. same user accounts, files etc.., from within Windows via a Virtual Machine? [09:07] qwebirc91318: if you're using a virtualization which can do so, yes, otherwise no. [09:08] tomreyn: thx! [09:09] has anybody tried to pair external bluetooth speakers to Ubuntu before? anybody tried that with jawbone jambox? [09:09] KlintFeith: keep your system up to date too, so the firefox update can come [09:10] tomreyn: do you know of a good resource to use to set this up? I wouldn't know how to define what I am looking for, hence the difficulty in phrasing my question to you [09:11] roboirc: bluetooth, we often reccomend using blueman to easy pair devices [09:13] lotuspsychje ok [09:13] qwebirc91318: i know it's possible with virtualbox if you have alinux host, but probably also the other way around. they have documentation where this is explained in the advanced section (towards the end). however, i'm afraid that #ubuntu can neither support you in finding a good virtualization software for windows hosts, nor help you set up a VM on it. [09:13] qwebirc91318: maybe start by asking in ##windows. [09:14] tomreyn: Many thanks for the advice, much appreciated! [09:16] qwebirc91318: you're welcome [09:26] my name is jeff [09:26] a [09:26] f [09:26] a [09:26] g [09:26] fgdf [09:26] ok..... === qwebirc98983 is now known as blogten [09:47] hi, 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? [09:48] blogten: please next time before filing a new bug, come here and ask first [09:48] ah sorry about that :) [09:49] eh, I meant :( [09:49] so hi again, lotuspsychje [09:49] blogten: now you created, please also mention this togheter with your question [09:52] blogten: which installer are you using? [09:52] I booted the live 18.04 LTS installer, then used the installer from the desktop [09:53] I *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? [09:56] blogten: you can run the installer with 'sudo ubiquity -b', then install grub manually [09:56] ducasse: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1827851 [09:56] Launchpad bug 1827851 in grub-installer (Ubuntu) "Installer --- crashes without explanation" [Undecided,New] [10:00] I'd like to figure out what went wrong first, and why --- and yes, that's the bug that just went up... fascinating that the partition log is *megabytes* in size... [10:07] ok, so after sifting through the megabytes of what looks like the installation log, I'm still unsure of what's wrong given the multitude of grub related entries. but some of the log entries seem to complain that an entire device might have been selected for the boot loader rather than a partition... [10:07] sigh, this is going to take a while to fix [10:13] Hi! Do you have information when Firefox 66.0.4 (with mitigation for the broken add-on certificate) will be released? [10:19] ok, off goes the installation again [10:20] !ping [10:20]
