[00:01] Running a Windows box but I've been itching to use Ubuntu again for a while. Still tied to Windows for video games. Considering just wiping the hard drive and installing both operating systems. I remember I tried doing this before and goofed it up. Is it better to install Windows first and then Ubuntu to have GRUB take over booting? [00:02] pizzaretaliation: you're welways welcome to just ask your question if it's ubuntu related here. [00:03] you're right, doing the windows installation first, the ubuntuinstallation second, is what we usually recommend here for dual-boot setups. [00:04] Should I partition during install (I'm going to split the hard drive storage half for Windows half for Linux), or just do a full Windows install then let Ubuntu handle the partitioning? [00:06] guides say let windows make free space [00:06] the ubuntu installer can resize an existing windows installation to make room for the ubuntu installation, so it doesn't really matter. also, partitioning yourself always bears the risk of doing it improperly / non-ideal. [00:06] OK thanks gang [00:07] if you'll reinstall all OSes this is a good opportunity to switch to UEFI booting if you didn't do that already. [00:07] So Ubuntu handles UEFI now? I clearly haven't done this in a long time XD [00:07] !uefi [00:07] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [00:09] in BIOS, set a sata mode of AHCI, not RAID. make sure you don't change any bios settings between the two installations, only do a one-time override of the boot location so you can boot the ubuntu installer from usb [00:10] (there are situations where people inadvertantly installed the two OSes in different boot modes by switching from uefi to bios boot mode between those installations) === Smeef is now known as The_Proxter === The_Proxter is now known as Smeef [00:16] Looking for help displaying emojis in librewriter and non-gtx apps. Should i post an imgur link of an example?

I have an askubuntu post up, so i'll just wait. Enjoy the day.

[00:33] 18.04 lts [00:58] anyone having probs with r8822be? [00:59] Is it dangerous to put "%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/wg-quick" in my sudoers file? [00:59] yes [01:00] anytime NOPASSWD on %admin is always dangerous [01:01] oh right, I wanted a wireguard icon on my bar and the script said to do that [01:01] I am not familiar with wiregaurd.. [01:02] just the new openvpn [01:04] kjwehf: wg-quick allows for arbitrary post-up hooks, so probably [01:05] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matryer/bitbar-plugins/master/Network/wireguard.sh [01:05] thats the script its used in [01:05] its only a small one [01:09] `ttf-ancient-fonts` brought all emojis back to Librewriter. [01:14] anyone know why my backup script is replacing the old one and not making a new one "tar -cvzf $DESTINATION $EXCLUDES $SOURCEFOLDER" [01:16] Probably because the filename is the same, are you not timestamping it [01:17] xamithan: only with the date but i will fix that.. thanks [01:19] i just upgraded (via clean install) to 5.0.0-13 on Lenovo Legion Y530 and my wifi card doesnt work. I have tried blacklisting (which didnt work in 18.04 either, but "rmmod ideapad_laptop" did. [01:19] Is it possible to change the S4 value to S3 for a device enabled in /proc/acpi/wakeup? [01:20] question: is there any way to temporarily unmount all snaps? [01:20] I'd like to move /var/lib/snapd to another partition [01:20] and bind-mount it back [01:21] I know that I can enable / disable a device by 'echo DEVNAME >/proc/acpi/wakeup where DEVNAME is the device. But rather than enable/disable, I want to change the power state from S4 to S3. [01:21] but doing service snapd stop doesn't seem to actually unmount anything [01:22] I suppose I could just explicitly unmount them [01:22] https://pastebin.com/12baPP6k [01:23] but I'm not sure what other resources in /var/lib/snapd are in use [01:31] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/K2kCpMdZSZ/ << The question is how to change the S4 value there to S3 [01:33] OR, alternatively, how to make an open LID event resume from S4 (currently it seems to require a power button press to resume) [01:35] hi I probably already know its bad news but I am forced to downgrade from 19.04 to 18.04 and try and preserve home directory is this likely to end badly? [01:36] transhumanist, i would suggest installing 18.04 with 'something else', selecting your partitions & not format. it'll take note of your added apps, erase your system dirs & install, then re-install added apps (esp. ubuntu repo ones) & doesn't touch $HOME [01:38] ok thats what I was planning [01:39] thanks here goes nothing [01:59] hello [01:59] well [02:00] it is good [02:00] i am sam [02:03] Do you use livepatch? > all === petris_ is now known as petris [02:41] anyone available for a wuick look over some bash - http://freetexthost.com/ki4hnyzfv5 - It always reports good key, even when pgp outputs a non existent key warning [02:53] hi guys. i am looking for an app which shows current connections like TCPView in Windows. I found some but they are not available Ubuntu's current repo list and i want to be stick with Ubuntu's default repo. Thanks a lot.

Sorry for the noob question https://pastebin.com/Mh4WNVUg [03:14] Dixie_Normous, just a moment [03:15] Dixie_Normous, sorry, I cannot read that code [03:17] Ouyes, im a noob. Is that the reason or is there another reason? [03:18] Dixie_Normous, I mean I am not capable to read that code. you may ask your question another place. [03:19] Dixie_Normous: your if statement has a '=', when it needs to have a '==' instead [03:20] Thank you both for your input. Very helpful and much appreciated [03:22] I accidentally copied a directory larger than the partition on a usb hard drive. I used the "cp" command in the terminal to do it. But it just hung there when the partition was full, so I rebooted the machine. Now dmesg and kern.log recognize the usb device, but I can't access the actual drive. [03:22] Did rebooting brick the hard drive? [03:23] Mruffell, it seems to be giving the same issue!! https://imgur.com/SnatlbX - If you have the time, would you mind looking over it [03:23] fdisk doesn't see the hard drive at all anymore. [03:25] DixieNormous: try -eq instead of '==' [03:25] DixieNormous: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/comparison-ops.html [03:26] mrfuffle - https://imgur.com/2NxlSKK [03:27] I'm now wondering if Ubuntu is at fault for not knowing how to handle a situation in which a directory is copied to a partition that's smaller than the directory to be copied. It just hangs, but interfering bricks the usb hard drive, so rebooting or shutting down the machine bricks the usb hard drive. [03:27] mrfuffle - That has got me one step closer - Any ideas? https://imgur.com/eBlbWHZ [03:28] mruffle - That has got me one step closer - Any ideas? https://imgur.com/eBlbWHZ [03:28] mrufflle - That has got me one step closer - Any ideas? https://imgur.com/eBlbWHZ === mooses is now known as mouses [03:33] !tab [03:33] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[03:56] hi guys [03:56] Activist, hello [03:56] what's up? [03:56] All good my friend, How goes you? [03:57] All good in here too. [03:57] DixieNormous, I don't see the point in providing a fake identity, plus, I'd like to meet up with some people on IRC later in my life, but this is better suited for more social channels such as #ubuntu-offtopic, though I'm usually in ##linuxmint instead because the owner there is a good friend of mine who helped me through tough times [03:57] I have a request. Can someone invite me to #linux? [03:58] activist, No. [03:58] Join ##linux instead [03:58] @stevendale I guess i cant argue with that! [03:58] may i ask why no? [03:58] activist, Because it's an invite only channel, you don't get VIP access just because you're on a public IRC network [03:59] activist: #linux merely forwards to ##linux [03:59] For the record, im new to IRC (despite its age) - Is there any security or operational bits that i should be aware of? [03:59] DixieNormous: Yes [03:59] Don't use out of date IRC Clients [03:59] And don't connect using Windows 9x computers [04:00] krytarik are you in #linux? [04:00] Nope. [04:00] nobody is in #linux. it forwards to ##linux. [04:00] thanks dax [04:01] Yes, thanks dax! >_< [04:01] krytarik where are you from? === _Random_ is now known as Mystified [04:01] What's the status on 32-bit Ubuntu support? === Mystified is now known as _Random_ [04:01] oh, right, and ##linux bans tor-sasl. that's inconvenient. [04:02] dax, and Freenode bans Mibbit [04:02] Which makes connecting on a 3DS a pain without homebrew menu :( [04:02] stevendale - Im 64bit totally updated Ubuntu with a hardware firewall, software firewall and always using a VPN - Should this cover the bases? [04:02] I can't understand Tor Browser is built from Mozilla but irc.mozilla.org is blocking Tor :) [04:03] Brother hates brother [04:03] DixieNormous: That's good enough, if you keep your Ubuntu up to date you won't even need the VPN or software firewall [04:03] Stevedale: is there no risk of exposing my true IP? [04:03] FYI running HexChat [04:04] DixieNormous, without the VPN, your true IP will display, yes, you can always request a cloak, dax could help you get one of those if you join #freenode [04:04] https://freenode.net/kb/answer/cloaks#cloaks-do-not-effectively-hide-your-ip [04:04] A cloak doesn't completely hide it, it just makes it harder for anyone who doesn't know how to IRC properly to find it [04:04] (also, you probably want to drop by #freenode for this) === stevendale is now known as stevendale_ === stevendale_ is now known as stevendale [04:07] (Just updating my last seen) [04:07] I ruined my external usb hard drive by copying over a directory that's larger than the partition on the usb drive, so what tools can I use to repair this usb hard drive? I'm thinking something like dd but "zeroing" it isn't working, since it says, "no space left on device". [04:07] stevendale - I auto connect to VPN on login so i guess i have no reason for a cloak? or is it worth the research? [04:07] did you copy the data or cut it disillusion [04:07] (I rebooted while it hung as the partition was full. This appears to have wrecked by usb drive) [04:08] DixieNormous, you should probably join #freenode like dax suggested, it's becoming a freenode problem not a Ubuntu problem [04:08] stevendale, I used the "cp" command in the terminal. [04:08] disillusion, is the drive still mounted? [04:08] Apologies, thank you for your patience friendly internet people!! [04:08] stevendale, fdisk and gparted no longer see the usb drive at all. [04:09] disillusion, power cycle your computer and check to see if the "lsblk" command sees it [04:09] dmesg and kern.log can see when it gets plugged in and out, and describe it accurately, but the hard drive part doesn't show up anymore. [04:09] stevendale, I've rebooted and powered down. Still the same. [04:10] stevendale, due the the partition being full, it just hung on the "cp" command indefinitely, I couldn't unmount the partition. I rebooted and now it appears the drive is worthless. [04:10] I installed Quassel and tried to configure it, but it displays errors saying "Unable to create Quassel config directory: /root/.config/quassel-irc.org". Any ideas on how to get Quassel to be configured? [04:11] stevendale, it appears to me that Ubuntu isn't designed to handle a situation in which the copied directory is larger than the partition. [04:11] ScriptGeek, don't run as root [04:11] disillusion I'm pretty sure that's a cp problem not a Ubuntu problem [04:12] Nautilus (Files) would have done it correctly [04:12] stevendale, oh yes it could be a problem with "cp", I should correct that. [04:12] Switched to #freenode - thanks to all those who offered advice on the ubuntu front [04:12] No problem DixieNormous ^.^ [04:13] disillusion USB external hard drive, correct? [04:13] It's probably fixable if you connect it directly to an internal hard drive cable on a desktop PC [04:14] stevendale, yes. I tried to copy a directory from my system to the usb hard drive, but accidentally copied to a small partition, one smaller than the data to be copied. It just hung once full, so I rebooted. [04:14] It appears that rebooting while cp hangs when the partition is full makes the drive unusable. [04:15] Did you try to use a livecd [04:15] I tried to zero it will dd but even dd returns the error message "no space left on device". [04:16] xamithan, I haven't tried that yet, but maybe a different OS can recognize it correctly. [04:16] stevendale: I tried setting the configuration to run as the service account that was created for the service as it still gives the same error [04:17] disillusion GParted Live might work [04:17] ScriptGeek: You'll have to delete the configuration in the root directory then run Quassel as non-root to get it to create new config [04:18] But I'm very discouraged by the fact that fdisk cannot see the usb drive either. [04:18] What other partition editors are there besides fdisk and parted? [04:19] gnome disks [04:19] gdisk [04:19] stevendale: I'm not sure how I can do that, as the service was installed through the package manager and configured automatically, with apparently some incorrect settings [04:20] cfdisk [04:26] It's just hanging with gdisk. [04:27] It just gave errors: [04:27] Problem reading disk in BasicMBRData::ReadMBRData()! [04:27] Warning! Read error 22; strange behavior now likely! === factor_ is now known as factor [04:30] actually, it looks like I can do stuff with gdisk. I'll keep trying with that and see what happens. [04:31] disillusion What dd command did you run [04:32] the usual zeroing command, which is: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc [04:32] Ah [04:32] So your data is gone [04:32] You need a new partition table disillusion [04:33] I don't care if it's gone. This is a new usb hard drive that I want to backup data onto. [04:33] stevendale, well then that's good news because I can just start the whole thing over again. [04:33] stevendale, but then how come gparted can't see it anymore, when I just used it earlier to partition the drive? [04:33] I'm not sure [04:34] but as I've said, gdisk is able to do stuff, so I'm trying that. I'll have to see what it can do and how to use it first. [04:34] it sees the disk [04:43] sudo -u quasselcore -s results in permission denied [04:49] ScriptGeek: I think you'll have better luck in #quassel with that. [04:50] krytarik: thanks [05:01] lotuspsychje: what did ya think, ubuntu still continues to check for updates even when "check for updates" is set to never AND unattended-upgrades package is removed [05:02] ubuntu turns more and more into a malware ignoring the admins settings :S [05:02] Apachez: it was not me reccomending to purge unattended-upgrades [05:03] lotuspsychje: well it didnt help anyway [05:03] so how to find out why ubuntu ignores "check for updates: never" in the software and updates?

[05:08] Apachez: i already told you, there's a difference between updates & security updates [05:08] and I already told you, if I set it to NEVER to check for any updates, why does it still (like a malware) continue to do so? [05:10] Apachez: whats the real reason you dont want updates? [05:16] Apachez: if, indeed, updates are still checked even when you set it *not* to, then the best option is to open a bug on it. This is the only way it will be fixed. [05:16] Apachez: ranting about it here will not help any [05:18] Apachez: as an aside, checking for updates is NOT, by a long shot "phoning home". [05:19] hello ubuntu , im using a ubuntu 16.04 but i want to upgrade to 18.04 but but im afraid my cpu overheat are there something to check before === murthy_ is now known as murthy [05:22] bryanroderyck well you can try with a live CD. But you probably should investigate why you CPU is overheating (hardware side I mean). [05:22] bryanroderyck Ubuntu 18.04 does not really require more CPU power so if you CPU is correct, there is no reason you'll have issues. [05:23] it only overheat on 64bit ..is there a way to check [05:24] bryanroderyck What do you want to check ? [05:24] my cpu architecture [05:25] bryanroderyck, i would be tempted to check for bad settings in your BIOS; an option that keeps noise down (allowing machine to overheat by stopping fan from speeding up) [05:25] bryanroderyck uname -i will give you your hardware architecture. [05:26] BTW, which channel is recommended to ask help for making packages? I have few questions regarding bundling a GPG key in the package (rather than calling apt-key from the postinst) [05:28] Kendos-Kenlen: #ubuntu-packaging, #ubuntu-motu, #ubuntu-devel are good candidates [05:32] hggdh thank you :) === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [05:56] can i upgrade my ubuntu 16.04 on my latop to a 18.04 version on a dvd?

[07:53] MonsieurBon, or you have some bt utility in your system, but it depends which de you are running [07:54] bryanroderyck: which one? [07:54] atom text editor [07:56] before that i use ninja IDE [07:57] but i have recived the internal error very long time .. [07:58] how did you install atom? [07:58] threw the terminal i suppose [07:59] Lotuspsychje ducasse https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTbpo9x1JgS [08:00] bryanroderyck: from a snap? [08:00] no i cant use snap im on 16.04 32 bit machine [08:01] mikubuntu: just select replace [08:02] Ducasse but replace with what? Lol. [08:03] mikubuntu: it will replace that config file with a file from the package, it's safe [08:03] Ok [08:06] https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTeKfUMvoPm ducasse [08:06] bryanroderyck: ok, because there is no atom package that i can see for 16.04 [08:07] i have it install .. [08:08] mikubuntu: just let it run [08:08] brb [08:08] bryanroderyck: i don't doubt that, i'm just wondering where it came from [08:09] K [08:09] mikubuntu: it should finish soon [08:10] Asking me to restart or close ducasse [08:10] mikubuntu: no errors? [08:11] i use atom frequently [08:11] Not showing in the output now ducasse [08:11] what can be done? [08:12] mikubuntu: good, then you can restart [08:12] The moment of truth has arrived [08:15] bryanroderyck: let me go through this - exactly where do you get that python error? how do you start atom and where does it show? [08:15] Ducasse https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTh8GGkyfZ2 [08:16] But login screen is up [08:16] i get the error message when i start ubuntu ... the error saying python when i want to upgrade ubuntu its block the process [08:17] i start atom from desktop [08:19] I'm trying to upgrade from 14.04 using do-release-upgrade. The tool stops at "Adding group `systemd-journal` (GID 106) ... Done." and nothing more happens. How can i fix that? It is a root server and the provider forces me to use 14.04 as bare image, so a fresh install is not an option. [08:19] Ducasse at one point in the upgrade I got msg that 2 display mgrs were installed and to choose one add or lights I chose lightdm because it wouldn't seem to let me do the other but I can see display looks goofy now [08:21] Going to login to channel from target now [08:24] ducasse damn now i lost view of our previous threads, were u able to see the image of the login screen? [08:25] i've definitely goofed up my display somehow [08:28] no, i didn't get that message [08:28] ducasse, let me try to repost [08:29] https://imgur.com/a/dl6RZOd i have also before ubuntu start i have the xorg error msg .. [08:32] OS Ubuntu 19.04 freezes [08:34] ducasse - https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTmnC7WhQxf [08:36] mikubuntu: oh, yes, i got that - i thought you said it was of the login screen [08:38] ducasse yes that was on the login screen and now my display resolution is all goofy, could it be that i shouldn't have chosen to proceed with lightdm rather than sddm during the upgrade? i actually couldn't make it choose sddm. [08:42] mikubuntu: display manager shouldn't matter, what gpu do you have? [08:43] ducasse -- lol, i have no idea [08:44] looks like lxterminal has been replaced with qterminal in the menus though ducasse [08:44] mikubuntu: pastebin output of 'lshw -C video' [08:44] k [08:46] ducasse https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/HssbBmbD24/ [08:48] Whenever I connect charger pin to laptop but doesn't indicate charging instantly [08:48] mikubuntu: ok, intel gpu. that should not give you any driver issues. which release is this again? [08:49] ducasse uhmmmm i guess this is now 18.10 after the upgrade [08:50] mikubuntu: are you planning to upgrade all the way to 19.04? [08:51] ducasse i hoped to but i read that i shouldn't jump 2 upgrades at once or something [08:53] mikubuntu: you can't, you need to go one at a time (unless you upgrade from one lts to the next) [08:53] when i do an apt install of pkgA, somehow pkgA and pkgB(which is not a dependcy of pkgA) gets installed too. [08:53] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2DYKCyjtyd/ [08:53] ducasse -- oh i must have misread that (too) [08:54] ducasse -- should i just try to continue and do next upgrade? [08:55] and not worry about display issues yet/now? [08:58] mikubuntu: you can. are the display issues annoying? what exactly are they, wrong resolution? [09:00] ducasse yes resolution and even some colors don't appear to be rendering right -- kind of looks like the screen from my first win 95 comp (switched to buntu 7.04) [09:03] mikubuntu: ok. in that case you can try upgrading to see if that fixes it. if it doesn't, it might be an edid problem. [09:04] ducasse ok https://imagebin.ca/v/4gTvs7j7ddoO [09:04] looks like that [09:04] ducasse is it ok to leave my browser open during upgrade? [09:05] don't have any particular homework that could get broken, right? [09:06] i've always closed everything during updates, but maybe i don't have to? [09:09] no, i'm usually working on during them [09:10] k i'll leave it open then [09:15] Are there any docs for how to create an ubuntu (TUI-only) live usb drive whith installable pacakges which is persistent? [09:16] sveinse: don't think so, but it shouldn't be any different from installing ubuntu to any other drive [09:17] ayekat: so one could boot off the USB installer and install a system on another USB device? [09:17] that might work [09:18] sveinse: yes - it's just a storage device as far as the installer is concerned [09:23] ducasse why is everything always so complicated? lol. got this window dialogue: "One or more running instances of xscreensaver or xlockmore have been detected on this system. Because of incompatible library changes, the upgrade of the GNU libc library will leave you unable to authenticate to these programs. You should arrange for these programs to be restarted or stopped before continuing this upgrade, to avoid locking your users [09:26] mikubuntu: ok, see if those are running and kill them if they are [09:26] mikubuntu: or just make sure they don't lock the screen [09:27] ducasse how do i know? the upgrade seems to be proceeding. [09:27] ducasse do i run killall on each? [09:27] mikubuntu: if they're running, yes [09:28] ducasse so no worries i can just run killall while the upgrade is running? [09:28] yeah [09:28] ok thx [09:28] just don't kill the upgrade process :) [09:31] ducasse ok ran killall on xscreensaver, went back to prompt, ran killall xlockmore, said no process found [09:32] ok, good [09:40] ducasse omg don't even say it! lol. [09:40] killall upgrade [09:44] so i cant get my MT7601U usb Wireless Adapter (148f:7601) to work as a hotspot or adhoc on ubuntu 18.04 kernel 4.15.0-48-generic yet it works when connecting to wifi, its a popular cheap wifi dongle, does anybody know any tricks or secrets about it [09:44] ducasse hmmmm .. seems to be downloading/unpacking a lot of kde stuff, i think i tried some kde utility once or something, guess it won't hurt anything [09:45] mikubuntu: kde 16.04 is end of life [09:46] lotuspsychje__: i don't really know why that kde stuff is in there [09:46] mikubuntu: you probably have some kde app, they drag in tons of libraries etc [09:47] ducasse i guess so i vaguely remember wanting/thinking i needed some little utility or something i don't even know what now [09:51] Hi folks [09:53] Hello. I'm on ubuntu 18.04, using netplan on a server. I have addresses: [ x.x.x.50/24, '2x:x:x:x::ffff/64' ] and I need to add one more ipv4 and v6 (currently in a container, attaching them on the host instead). Would "addresses: [ x.x.x.50/24, y.y.y.51/24, 'x:x:x:x::ffff/64', 'y.y.y.y::ffee/64' ]" be fine? [09:54]
