[00:00] qwebirc what happens when you hit F5 ? [00:00] some pages load slow [00:04] anyone recommend a file browser that shows me a files date? [00:09] zap0: pretty much all will do; you will have to configure which fields are shown, though [00:09] name one. [00:09] click on the filebrowser 'name' panel, richt click, lots of options and date [00:10] OerHeks which one gives me the date? [00:11] dolphin; whatever replaced Nautilus on Gnome; mc; etc [00:11] modified ? [00:12] you can make it stick as default in settings [00:12] on the panel is for this session opnly [00:12] modified, yes. I do not think file creation is available on all filesystems [00:13] correct, there is a modified and access [00:17] The POSIX standard only defines three distinct timestamps to be stored for each file: the time of last data access, the time of last data modification, and the time the file status last changed. [00:18] only ntfs-3g, expose the file creation times via extended file attributes ... and modern Linux filesystems, such as ext4, Btrfs and JFS [00:19] hggdh dolphin shows me the actual date. nice! thank you. [00:24] Hello [00:25] anyone know where/how I can get a 32bit version of java webstart? If I could find a static build that would be amazing. === dl is now known as Guest30715 [00:27] FortunateSon, for openjdk , use icedtea-netx ? [00:27] !info icedtea-netx [00:27] icedtea-netx (source: icedtea-web): NetX - implementation of the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP). In component universe, is extra.

[00:29] the program I need to run ONLY support 32bit java [00:30] which is ridiculous, but it is what I have to use [00:30] sure there is https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/icedtea-netx [00:30] icedtea-netx_1.8-0ubuntu8~18.04_i386.deb [00:31] ofcourse you take a 32 bit browser too? [00:31] FortunateSon: "apt-cache policy icedtea-netx:i386" [00:31] FortunateSon: you have "i386" added as a foreeign-architecture? [00:32] yeah, that package has two dependencies which have "no installation candidate" :( [00:36] FortunateSon: yes, it seems the dependencies in the icedtea-netx package control file are wrong, you need to pre-install the dependencies first. E.g. "sudo apt install libtagsoup-java librhino-java" (they're architecture "all" - in other words, text files not binary executables) [00:37] FortunateSon: from there you may be able to then "sudo apt install icedtea-netx:i386 default-jre:i386" [00:37] I'll have to look into that, thank you!

Not sure how it managed to get built at all! [01:11] I was able to find a workaround for my purposes, I downloaded an old tar from oracle with a 32bit version of javaws in it.

How do i tell what version a package i installed via apt corresponds to the official standard? For eg. libmodbus5 for Ubuntu 16.04 is at version 3.0.6-1, but officially at libmodbus.org, there is only version 3.0.4 and version 3.1 [02:45] eraserpencil: apt-cache policy yourpackage, we only support packages from the official ubuntu repos [02:46] eraserpencil: start with "apt-get changelog libmodbus5" and you'll see how the package version numbers advanced - often you'll see "new upstream version" as part of that [02:46] eraserpencil, i'd use apt-cache as lotuspsychje answered, but note it gets it from your (cached) software lists, so if you haven't updated them or using a out-of-date mirror (sudo apt update) the answers can be out-of-date [02:48] I'll explain once more. I just installed Ubuntu from windows for the first time. [02:48] eraserpencil: current 'stable' version upstream is 3.0.6 [02:48] seven_hundred: when you details your issue, please ask all in one line if you can [02:49] I'm trying to log in with my correct password, it freezes and goes black, then log in screen again. I do ctrl alt f2 and am in the terminal.

To fix, change to a virtual terminal with Ctrl-Alt-F3, log in with your normal username and password, run rm ~/.Xauthority* and then reboot. [02:51] lotuspsychje: "reboot" !? surely that should just say "sudo systemctl restart graphical.target/*dm.service" ? [02:51] cannot remove '/home/user/.Xauthority*': No such file or directory [02:51] @ubottu [02:52] guiverc, TJ-, lotuspsychje, thanks for the reply. What I'm asking would be what version does 3.0.6 correspond to of the official libmodbus (https://libmodbus.org). I'm guessing 3.0.6 would correspond to the 3.0.4 standard with a couple of fixes, but is there a way to definitively know without assumptions? [02:52] eraserpencil: NO, as I said, 3.0.6 is the upstream STABLE version [02:52] I've freshly installed Ubuntu server 17.10 and attempted to set up a static ip using the guide at https://www.google.com/amp/s/websiteforstudents.com/configuring-static-ips-ubuntu-17-10-servers/amp/. I did not add ipv6 just ipv4 but my configuration looked exactly like the example except my ethernet device was used instead of enp0s3. Anyways I trie [02:52] d to install vncserver afterwards and found I was not able to connect to any repositories.So i deleted my configuration to try to install vnc and still found rhat i am getting errors cannot initiate the connection and does not have a release file:( [02:52] !17.10 | koognod [02:52] koognod: Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) was the 27th release of Ubuntu.

[02:55] lotuspsychje there is no xauthority [02:55] ahh, okay. I just found the documentation for 3.0.6 [02:55] I tried 18.04 but was having issues with the graphics driver on my mac mini. I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to download software for 17.10 I think I understand now [02:55] seven_hundred: yes, you already said it [02:55] thank you [02:56] I'm going mad lol [02:56] koognod, 17.10 will be a security risk given it's out-of-date software, 16.04 LTS is still supported (a long-term support release; so 16.04 + 5 years = 2021.april eol) [02:57] seven_hundred: A first time install can be daunting .. but millions have done it - I am sire you can too :D [02:57] cool, thank you @guiverc [02:57] Bashing-om the install is finished, I can't log in [02:58] seven_hundred: as you can get to a terminal, we may be able to search the log files for clues [02:58] koognod, also fyi: after EOL, repo.software is moved from archive.ubuntu.com to old-release.ubuntu.com; which is why your machine can't find it... [02:58] I'm in ;) [02:58] old-releases ^ [02:59] seven_hundred: start off by looking for warnings or errors that might be relevant, using " journalctl -n 50 -p warning " to look at just the last 50 warnings/errors [02:59] seven_hundred: at the terminal ;; what shows ` sudo lshw -C display ` .

I just want to get settled into this pc tonight and try to play one game [04:02] If not I'm just going to i n s t a l l g e n t o o [04:03] https://i.4cdn.org/g/1557447606648.png [04:04] how do i downgrade my ubuntu to 18.04? [04:05] alright I'm in the gui [04:05] what gui? [04:05] Ubuntu. *I'm in...* [04:06] yea im using the gui. do you want me to open up the terminal? [04:06] seven_hundred: Great ! All good for the present ? [04:06] What's livepatch. The legal notice says something about collecting data [04:06] wtf [04:06] gambl0r3, you haven't said what release you are using, but a downgrade isn't designed or tested. you can re-install 18.04 using install-media, use something-else & select your partition, with 'no-format' and your added software is noted; sys dirs are wiped; system install & added-software (if from ubuntu repoos) are re-installed [04:06] gambl0r3: There is no goback button. A clean install is by far the best option to return to 18.04. [04:07] gambl0r3: the best method is to always have a full system image file ready *before* you make major changes to a system - then you can downgrade/rollback/restore anything with ease. [04:08] Bashing-om so far so good [04:08] Always make backups make them often, and then backup your backups [04:08] mouses, you mean a back up? how do i do that? [04:08] !yay | seven_hundred [04:08] seven_hundred: Glad you made it! :-) [04:09] gambl0r3: tons of ways to do it - I prefer clonezilla, there's also tools like rsync [04:09] mouses, so i create an image file of my system? is it a backup? [04:10] gambl0r3: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift/ is useful too - creates windows like 'restore points' [04:10] gambl0r3: I use clonezilla for full images, that way you end up with just a single image file that you can just restore at any time [04:10] mouses, do i burn it to an usb? [04:11] how would i boot it if my computer has booting issues [04:11] gambl0r3: clonezilla can do that for you easy - there's a bit of a learning curve, but it's well documented and not that bad. [04:11] err ok [04:11] gambl0r3: clonezilla needs to be installed on a USBkey/optical media and then booted - so backing up or restoring involves rebooting into clonezilla, doing what needs to be done [04:12] Bashing-om It lets me in but the log in screen is still hella laggy [04:12] Weird [04:12] as making a proper perfect 1:1 image file is not really possible to a drive that's actually mounted and in use by the OS at that time. [04:13] Special thanks to 200 IQ Bashing-om and TJ- [04:13] mouses, if i tried to install mongodb using 18.10 version, will it still work? https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ [04:14] seven_hundred: If you mean a long delay between the time you input your password and the time the GUI starts - I have that issue and I have no known cause :( [04:15] Bashing-om no its not that, my mouse cursor will freeze when moving it, characters typed will lag and freeze [04:15] seven_hundred: Ouch ! [04:15] gambl0r3: most likely, sure. [04:15] gambl0r3: only way to know for sure is to try it! [04:17] seven_hundred: Ya want to game - and as a wild guess again is a driver issue . try ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' reboot the system to see what it looks like now with the proprietary driver installed :) [04:18] Bashing-om jesus thanks for those commands [04:19] seven_hundred: Hey - we all know what it feels like .. We were all at one time where you are now :P [04:19] I'm hyped for linux / gnu though. === OneMatthias is now known as OneM_Industries [04:21] In landscape, in the search box is there a way to use opertors like OR and NOT, rather than just ANDing together a bunch of tags and alerts?

[04:38] Yeah I have a 144 hz monitor and need 144 output [04:39] seven_hundred: Are you confusing the term resolution with Frames Per Second ? [04:39] nope. maybe im used to windows [04:40] Because windows has you maxing at 60 fps if you dont set your display settings at 144 [04:42] seven_hundred: This ain't Windows :) .. to see resolutions: ` xrandr -q ` . [04:52] hiya ! [04:53] any idea why after an update all shortcut keys in ubuntu 18.04 don't function ? [04:57] goodnight dude, thanks for all the help Bashing-om [04:58] Secret-Fire: Np - help is what we do :) [05:03] su: failed to execute /in/bash: No such file or directory Can someone tell me what that means? [05:09] !details | ScriptGeek [05:09] ScriptGeek: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [05:16] My Ubuntu 18.04 is not booting [05:16] Can you please help [05:19] qwebirc46143: at wich point are you stuck please? [05:30] ScriptGeek: sounds like a script is missing the 'b' in /bin/ [05:30] if you are getting this at login time, then the user is created wrong [05:30] theorem: did you try to boot a previous kernel as a test? system up to date? [05:30] and the default terminal needs to be fixed [05:31] lotuspsychje: kernel seems OK, it's just UI settings. [05:31] theorem: how about a test in a new user? [05:31] lotuspsychje: also, gtk apps look different too [05:31] ah, interesting, could do. [05:31] theorem: are you on gnome? [05:32] lotuspsychje: how can I tell ? [05:32] theorem: well did you install ubuntu desktop 18.04 or a flavor? [05:32] desktop [05:32] ok then its gnome3 [05:33] I had some display issues with my card a while back, so had to tweak a couple things -- but the latest update I received seems to have made these changes [05:33] so -- I think I am getting bad defaults. [05:33] theorem: wich chipset & driver loaded please? [05:34] lotuspsychje: is there a realiable way to report this ? just dmesg ? [05:34] theorem: ubuntu-drivers devices [05:34] theorem: or sudo lshw -C video [05:34] first command does nothing [05:35] https://pastebin.com/UZAk9Jb4 [05:36] theorem: looks good and loaded [05:36] yeah, gtk app is very "chunky" looking. Like I stepped back into 2002. [05:36] theorem: wich app are you talking about? [05:37] deluge-gtk is the app [05:37] the app didn;t look like this before the update [05:37] and deluge-gtk wasn't updated. [05:37] theorem: looks fine at my side, a blue drop icon right? [05:37] yes [05:38] theorem: try a few tests first, like create new user, boot previous kernel, check dpkg logs to see what updated [05:39] ok [05:39] theorem: perhaps a wayland login test too [05:39] sudo dpkg -i [05:39] whoops [05:40] theorem: ill be back in 20 [05:41] lotuspsychje: I can't keep my eyes open, so I am going to have to come back unfortunately. === tfreedman is now known as tfreedman[m]1 === murthy is now known as murthy_ [05:47] after running tar command, where does it extract all the files to? tar xvzf [05:47] current path [05:48] of what [05:48] ls [05:48] pwd [05:49] also known as cwd [05:49] theorem: thank you, you were right. I made a silly typo =P [05:50] i extrated a .tar.gz file, now how do i install the actual program? [05:50] i see a bin, include, lib folders [05:50] gambl0r3: read the README file [05:50] or INSTALL [05:50] theres none [05:50] there should be instructions on a website then [05:51] theres none on the website https://robomongo.org/download [05:51] i downlaoded Robo 3T [05:51] for linux [05:52] hello ubuntu , i would likt to upgrade my ubuntu but i have internal error due to a python3 bug [05:52] got to bin [05:52] *go to bin [05:52] run robo3t [05:52] how? [05:52] ./ === murthy_ is now known as murthy [05:53] how did you know to do that? [05:53] bin is where binaries are stored [05:53] standard practice [05:53] ./ will run a file. [05:53] you mean like the .exe installation file? [05:53] there are no .exe files in linux [05:54] i mean in windows [05:54] if you really want to know what a file is, use 'file' [05:54] its similar [05:54] running a file is not installing it [05:54] it opened up the installer [05:54] packages like dpkg, or apt, or rpm, etc .. are installers [05:54] when i ran the command [05:55] alright, that's weird of them to package it like that, but not unheard of. === Guest95051 is now known as elias_a [05:57] nevermind. it runs the actual program when i run that command [05:57] i thought programs are supposed to be installed inside /bin dir? [05:57] by default [06:02] https://imgur.com/a/SmZkbAc [06:02] https://imgur.com/a/weqVypx [06:03] gambl0r3: only repo stuff is supposedto go in /bin [06:04] i see [06:04] EriC^^, can i move the folder to somewhere else so that it's not sitting in /Downloads dir? [06:04] other stuff could go in /usr/local/bin [06:04] what is that folder used for? [06:04] gambl0r3: yeah there's also /opt [06:04] gambl0r3: non repo packaeg installs [06:05] should i put it in /opt or /usr/local/bin? [06:05] so as not to get overwritten or affect any repo packages [06:05] i'd put in /opt [06:05] and add to $PATH [06:06] seriously, is there a linux boox that explains ubuntu 101 especially explaining all these folders [06:06] Error: Ubuntu bug 101 could not be found [06:07] inside /usr/local i see many folders bin, etc, games, include, lib, man, sbin, share, src. what if i put the folder inside sbin? am i going to break something? [06:07] bryanroderyck, I would suspect you have a totally coruppted insatall, or (sadly more likely) a hardware problem. I would back up all user data you care about to someplace else and wipe that system and install a fresh version and hope that helps. [06:08] bryanroderyck, I could be wrong, you could wait to see if anybody else has a less drastic solution [06:09] i cant boot from cd even i have change bootsetup.. are there keys to press to get cd boot? [06:12] gambl0r3, if you really wanna know read the fhs at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml -- lots of wisdom there but not a 101 level [06:12] im actually on ubuntu 16.04 but would like to upgrade to 18 [06:13] bryanroderyck, if you can't boot from CD even after making sure the BIOS is reading that first, you either have a bad CD or a broken system [06:28] rfm : i cant boot now it read the dvdrom and freeze ..what can cause this [06:29] * i mean it boot but not totally [06:35] Hey! I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu but have a question about Ubuntu server. How much disk space/RAM does it need for a simple setup? [06:36] I'm experimenting with VM's in Proxmox and have setup a couple of Ubuntu servers that runs smaller services like Home Assistant, Caddy, Nextcloud and Pi-hole. They all have their own VM. [06:40] anybody here that can help me to fix my ubuntu [06:40] Filikun: the smallest vps systems my provider offers has (i think) 10gb disk and 512mb ram, but you can get by with much less disk. 512mb ram is probably a reasonable minimum, though [06:41] Nice! I have set my default disk size to 10 GB so all of them runs of that except Home Assistant that has 32GB. [06:42] I feel it's so hard as a noob to know how much space to actually give a VM. I hear a lot of different theorys of what Ubuntu actually needs [06:42]
