| RoseBus | hello, how should users home files & subdirectories be chmodded | 00:00 |
| activist | dmesg is bit complicated | 00:01 |
| RoseBus | i messed up my file permissions and i'm setting them all over again | 00:01 |
| leftyfb | activist: plug them in, use the umount command to unmount them. Not the GUI | 00:01 |
| Walex | RoseBus: depends a bit on how much access you want to give others, but try this: | 00:01 |
| activist | ok | 00:01 |
| RoseBus | right now i have chmod 711 -R on all /home/* | 00:01 |
| RoseBus | i want others not to be able to see anything in each other's home dirs | 00:01 |
| FreeBDSM | RoseBus: there is no answer for that question | 00:02 |
| Walex | RoseBus: chmod -R a+rwX,o= $HOME | 00:02 |
| Walex | RoseBus: that "711" is not good for files. | 00:02 |
| RoseBus | yea lol that's what i'm realizing | 00:02 |
| Walex | RoseBus: actually the line I gave you is not good after doing your 'chmod'. | 00:02 |
| FreeBDSM | I'd say 660 for files and 770 for dirs | 00:02 |
| Walex | RoseBus: after doing the 'chmod' I gave you do: | 00:03 |
| Walex | RoseBus: find $HOME \! -type d -print0 | xargs -r0 chmod a-x | 00:03 |
| Fudge | how using ntpdate can i manually change my clock to be a minute slower? | 00:04 |
| Walex | FreeBDSM: more or less that I intended with that 'chmod -R a+rwX,o=' | 00:04 |
| activist | leftyfb fingers crossed. btw i was talking about Tor hidden-service repo list like Debian. You know Debian does have Tor repo list servers (mirrors). | 00:04 |
| activist | https://bits.debian.org/2016/08/debian-and-tor-services-available-as-onion-services.html | 00:04 |
| RoseBus | Walex, the find returned nothing | 00:04 |
| Walex | RoseBus: rather unlikely | 00:04 |
| FreeBDSM | why not `find ${HOME} -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 770 && find ${HOME} -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 660`? | 00:05 |
| Walex | RoseBus: try this: find $HOME \! -type d -print | wc -l | 00:05 |
| RoseBus | wait your first find was sent to a pipe | 00:05 |
| RoseBus | it wasn't expected to print anything, right? | 00:05 |
| RoseBus | sry it's been a long time since i've used *nix | 00:05 |
| Walex | FreeBDSM: because there are other types than directories and plain files, for example | 00:05 |
| FreeBDSM | RoseBus: https://superuser.com/questions/91935/how-to-recursively-chmod-all-directories-except-files | 00:06 |
| Walex | FreeBDSM: etc. | 00:06 |
| FreeBDSM | Walex: like what? | 00:06 |
| FreeBDSM | pipelines? | 00:06 |
| Walex | FreeBDSM: using symbolic modes with 'chmod' one can use 'X' which is very useful | 00:06 |
| FreeBDSM | links? | 00:06 |
| Walex | FreeBDSM: but "rosebus" already foiled that | 00:06 |
| RoseBus | lol | 00:06 |
| RoseBus | okay i g2g | 00:07 |
| RoseBus | gotta fix this later | 00:07 |
| RoseBus | ty | 00:07 |
| FreeBDSM | :/ | 00:07 |
| Walex | RoseBus: this must print a number, iof it prints literally nothing you got as problem: find $HOME \! -type d -print | wc -l | 00:07 |
| FreeBDSM | why not my command? | 00:07 |
| Walex | FreeBDSM: ugly :-) | 00:07 |
| FreeBDSM | yes, but the most optimal | 00:08 |
| TreyHarris | Since RoseBus "already messed up" her permissions, a three-command version (find dirs, set to 0700, find files, set to 0600, find any commands that were just set to 0600 and reset them to 0700) should be used, followed by changing the .bashrc, .zshrc, etc., to add "umask 0077" so that all future files are created with only user-mode permissions. | 00:15 |
| TreyHarris | And that took away too long to type on my phone so ill leave it at that 😉 | 00:16 |

| TreyHarris | activist: Did you partition the destination drive? You can't read or write partition data via duck | 00:23 |
| activist | yes i did. let me explain what i did. i plugged both of them and used umount both of them. Then checked with lsblk. I could see both of them. I used your command and waited. And unplugged both of them and re-plugged in. Empty :| | 00:23 |

| activist | No i didn't partition second USB | 00:24 |
| Mutter | Are you getting the feds involved | 00:24 |
| leftyfb | activist: both are empty? | 00:24 |
| Mutter | What’s happening | 00:24 |
| activist | no. first is not empty. | 00:24 |
| Mutter | Nothing seems to be happening | 00:24 |
| activist | second (destination) is empty. | 00:24 |
| Mutter | I’m on an iPad is that why | 00:25 |
| leftyfb | ugh! | 00:25 |
| TreyHarris | I thought the source flashy driver was in two partitioned? | 00:25 |
| leftyfb | activist: my bad | 00:25 |
| TreyHarris | Arg, phone autocorrect. | 00:25 |
| leftyfb | activist: sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=1024M status=progress | 00:25 |
| activist | no worries | 00:26 |
| leftyfb | activist: try again. I left out /dev/ on the destination. This is why you should be spending time to understand what's going on as opposed to just copy and pasting commands people give you | 00:26 |
| leftyfb | TreyHarris: if you are dd'ing the raw drive, partitions are copied from the source to the destination and anything on the destination is overridden | 00:27 |

| FishBone000 | I did sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade yesterday midnight, and this morning i found my USB wifi adapter not funtional. So I tried to follow a guide to apt --purge remove according to the apt log, but I am afraid that by this some major packages will might be removed and my ubuntu will might not be functional. Will this happen? | 00:34 |
| FishBone000 | By the way, I have tried to sudo make uninstall and install my USB adapter driver, even tried to install different versions. | 00:35 |
| hggdh | FishBone000: if you are *purging* packages that were upgraded, then there is a very good chance your system will be broken, perhaps badly | 00:36 |
| FishBone000 | D: | 00:37 |
| hggdh | FishBone000: oh, you are building from source an adapter. Well... you should, then talk with the deveopers | 00:37 |
| FishBone000 | But my adapter worked yesterday, and last week | 00:37 |
| FishBone000 | it suddenly became unfunctional this morning, so i guess perhaps it was because of the upgraded packages | 00:38 |
| FishBone000 | instead of drivers | 00:38 |
| myself | I'm trying to run http://www.fnarfbargle.com/bst.html and the command-line utilities work fine, but when I try to launch the GUI it complains "./bst.linux: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 00:43 |
| myself | I've found some pages that say to use 'ldd' to see what libraries it's trying to load, and there are only 4 or 5 missing. Weird thing is, 'locate' finds several copies of each such library on my system, I'm not sure why they're not being loaded. This is all way over my head, I feel like I could use a primer on how libraries work on linux, how they're located and how, in this case, they're not found. | 00:44 |
| DixieNormous | is there a way to run the TOR process in the backgroud so i can route all traffic trough 127.0.0.1 without having the TOR window open? perhaps a script - I dont mind one or teo terminal windows being opem? | 00:49 |
| activist | yes it is possible. | 00:49 |
| activist | Which OS? | 00:49 |
| DixieNormous | Wonderful 0 Runninmg ubuntu 64 bit | 00:51 |
| DixieNormous | sorry for poor grammar - 3 days no sleep - bad typing | 00:51 |
| activist | 3 days no sleeping and you are trying to work with Tor. | 00:52 |
| activist | Hmm.. You should sleep some because 3 days is really big. | 00:52 |
| DixieNormous | Tell me about it - Deadlines | 00:52 |
| leftyfb | DixieNormous: which version of Ubuntu? | 00:52 |
| DixieNormous | After this, sleep is on the cards - just need a proof of concept | 00:53 |

| qwebirc22161 | hey guys, i have a question | 00:56 |
| qwebirc22161 | it looks like i have a miner running on my server | 00:57 |
| qwebirc22161 | the process is consuming all my cpu | 00:57 |
| qwebirc22161 | htop gives a fake location | 00:57 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc22161: Wipe your server and restore from backup. Be more careful about what ports to open/forward to your server | 00:57 |
| activist | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Rb4NyK4vmz/ | 00:57 |
| qwebirc22161 | its not running anything critical | 00:58 |
| qwebirc22161 | but it has terabytes of data | 00:58 |
| qwebirc22161 | wiping is not really something i would like to do | 00:58 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc22161: ok, so there should be no problem shutting it off immediately, wiping it and restoring from backup. | 00:58 |
| qwebirc22161 | its a remote server | 00:59 |
| leftyfb | qwebirc22161: you have no choice. Any other options are insufficient and a waste of time | 00:59 |
| activist | go to /etc/tor/ and rename torrc with torrc.bak | 00:59 |
| DixieNormous | activist: You are a star! I havent run it but by the looks of it, that is exactly what i need. Thank you so mich!!! | 00:59 |
| activist | then create new torrc and paste these. | 00:59 |
| activist | then open terminal and write tor and enter! | 00:59 |
| activist | if you want to see the logs tails -f /var/log/tor/notices.log | 01:00 |

| leftyfb | eighthundred: which program? | 01:15 |
| eighthundred | https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix This one for example. | 01:15 |

| eia1x | Hi! My vim works normal for the user group, but when I invoke it by sudo it blames errors. Is there a way to bind the sudo privilege to vim to run as normal user? | 03:57 |
| mouses | eia1x: that would be a very very bad idea <tm> | 03:58 |
| mouses | eia1x: what errors do you get running vim as root? | 03:58 |
| mouses | throw them at https://paste.ubuntu.com and someone here can likely help you figure out what's going wrong and how to solve it | 03:59 |
| eia1x | mouses: many lines about 'Illegal variable name a: attr/ Undefined variable a: guisp' | 04:00 |
| mouses | eia1x: looks like some help might be right here - https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-vim/issues/197 | 04:02 |
| mouses | got that by just copy/pasting your error into google. | 04:02 |
| eia1x | mouses: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nRtq4RbbpT/ | 04:03 |
| mouses | eia1x: check the github link I just sent you, read it -> you'll either need to downgrade your version of vim *or* a few posters there offered a fix | 04:04 |

| speeder39_ | Hello anyone around | 04:10 |
| foo____ | yeah | 04:11 |
| speeder39_ | I have question. I installed Ubuntu from windows 10 store, then ran bash command to install gnome desktop | 04:11 |
| speeder39_ | First does it take long to unpack and install everything | 04:12 |
| speeder39_ | ?? | 04:12 |
| foo____ | I've never installed it from Windows store | 04:13 |
| speeder39_ | Ah okay | 04:13 |
| foo____ | Why don't you just install it as a VM with something like VirtualBox? | 04:13 |
| foo____ | espcially if you want the desktop | 04:13 |
| Bashing-om | !wsl | speeder39_ | 04:13 |
| speeder39_ | Idk much about vm :-( | 04:13 |
| ubottu | speeder39_: Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide | 04:13 |
| foo____ | if you just want CLI, you could you vagrant | 04:14 |
| foo____ | haha I see | 04:14 |
| speeder39_ | foo____: can I ask are you in the usa? | 04:14 |
| foo____ | You might as well just use Linux | 04:14 |
| eia1x | mouses: oh, solved my question! Many tks... | 04:15 |
| speeder39_ | My question was going to be how do I just run off the gnome desktop once it's set up | 04:15 |
| foo____ | speeder39_: what are you trying to acheive? | 04:16 |
| speeder39_ | I want to use as Linux pc | 04:17 |
| foo____ | Why don't you just intall linux/ubuntu on the bare metal then? | 04:17 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | speeder39_: That's not the purpose of WSL, and it' snot capable. | 04:18 |
| foo____ | ok | 04:18 |
| foo____ | fair enough | 04:18 |
| speeder39_ | What's not capable | 04:18 |
| Eickmeyer | speeder39_: The Windows Subsystem for Linux. If you're looking for help with running Ubuntu on Windows (what you downloaded from the store), please join #ubuntu-on-windows. | 04:19 |
| mouses | eia1x: glad to help! | 04:19 |
| Eickmeyer | speeder39_: In short, it is not meant to install Ubuntu, it simply gives you a way to run userspace programs on Windows, but nothing graphical. | 04:22 |
| mouses | graphical is coming soon, from what I was reading - windows 10 is going to start shipping a full linux kernal for use | 04:22 |
| Eickmeyer | mouses: That doesn't necessarily mean graphical. Please keep on-topic with support only. | 04:23 |
| mouses | Eickmeyer: It will be graphical, that was my point. | 04:23 |
| Eickmeyer | mouses: Please stay with support only. | 04:23 |
| Eickmeyer | This is not a discussion channel. | 04:24 |
| mouses | Eickmeyer: Sure, sorry if I stepped outside my lane a bit there. | 04:24 |
| Eickmeyer | mouses: The point is that we need to keep this channel on-topic, therefore, support only. That includes me. We have #ubuntu-offtopic for general discussion and other topics. | 04:25 |
| mouses | Eickmeyer: Point taken, and again - sorry! | 04:25 |

| benbro | what should I add to iptables.up.rules to redirect incomin TCP on port 443 to port 3478? | 09:40 |
| lotuspsychje | benbro: you could try the ##netfilter channel if you like, more firewall experts over there | 09:41 |
| benbro | thanks | 09:41 |
| TJ- | benbro: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3478 | 09:41 |
| TJ- | benbro: obviously set your interface name in place of "eth0" in that example | 09:42 |
| benbro | TJ-: do I have to define the interface or can I omit it? | 09:43 |
| benbro | TJ-: inside iptables.up.rules it's similar but without the prefix? "-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3478" ? | 09:44 |
| TJ- | benbro: you should generally be specific so the rule matches the interface(s) the packets arrive on | 09:44 |
| TJ- | benbro: that sounds about correct | 09:44 |
| hugoit | benbro, pastebin an 'iptables -L -n' | 09:45 |
| benbro | TJ-: but if the interface name will change it'll break | 09:45 |
| TJ- | benbro: look at the existing rules and copy the style | 09:45 |
| benbro | thanks | 09:46 |
| TJ- | benbro: if the system has multiple interfaces and packets could arrive on any, then omit the "-i eth0" part | 09:46 |
| LuckyMan | lotuspsychje, there's no one in that channel | 09:49 |
| lotuspsychje | LuckyMan: #netfilter | 09:50 |
| LuckyMan | lotuspsychje, thanks | 09:50 |
| benbro | TJ-: I've added this "-A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3478" to iptables.up.rules but when I try to apply it this line fail | 09:53 |
| TJ- | benbro: I tested adding the rule here manually and it works | 09:56 |
| TJ- | benbro: I tried it with and without the interface mentioned | 09:56 |
| TJ- | benbro: possibly there's some differences in the syntax of the file you're editing | 09:56 |
| benbro | TJ-: I've tried to add the rule manually without the interface but 'sudo iptables -L -n' before and after looks the same | 09:58 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 10:02 |
| felco | benbro -t nat -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3478 ** i not sure right now, but if you are redirecting traffic coming to the firewall it self you should do that in the INPUT table | 10:03 |
| tangorri | hi, can't get my keyboard layout correctly bind ... | 10:03 |
| benbro | felco: trying | 10:03 |
| tangorri | layout is ok from ssh but not from vnc | 10:03 |
| hugoit | tangorri, on one line, please provide software installed and what the problem with the layout is. thnx | 10:06 |
| tangorri | hugoit, just fresh lubuntu 18.04, my keybaord is not having the azerty (fr) keyboard layout | 10:07 |
| hugoit | o7 activist | 10:07 |
| hugoit | tangorri, have you tried 'sudo dkplg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' | 10:08 |
| hugoit | (dpkg-reconfigure) | 10:08 |
| TJ- | tangorri: is the problem with VNC before login (at the greeter where you enter password) or is VNc running as the user account | 10:09 |
| tangorri | TJ-, occurs from the beginning (login as well) | 10:09 |
| tangorri | hugoit, I try to type it .... | 10:09 |
| TJ- | tangorri: if SSH is working it suggests the system config (which would apply to the greeter) is correct, unless the user account sets a different locale | 10:09 |
| tangorri | ssh is perfect | 10:10 |
| TJ- | tangorri: that's likely due to the ssh client handling it, not the remote server | 10:10 |
| TJ- | tangorri: as hugoit suggests, trty reconfiguring the keyboard-configuration | 10:11 |
| tangorri | ok so let's try reconf keyb | 10:11 |
| SDr | hey ubuntu, so, I'm trying to write a post-git-push script on (ubuntu) server side, which, when a git push is received, automatically deploys the code to the server (cds into a directory, runs git pull, npm install, forever restart). Issue is, 1,gitlab takes over standard post-receive hooks; 2, gitlab's custom post-hook is running with git UID; and | 10:11 |
| SDr | 3, setuid can't run on a bash script. | 10:11 |
| tangorri | problem is I can't get the - key working ^^ | 10:11 |
| TJ- | SDr: that isn't an Ubuntu issue it sounds like a git/gitlab issue | 10:11 |
| TJ- | tangorri: you can do it over the SSH connection | 10:12 |
| SDr | well, it's a conceptual one | 10:12 |
| tangorri | ok | 10:12 |
| TJ- | SDr: we don't do concepts :) | 10:12 |
| SDr | I'm wondering what ways there might be to approach this problem | 10:12 |
| TJ- | SDr: try asking in #git maybe? | 10:12 |
| rudeguy | hi, can anyone tell me where are the images for these icons stored: https://i.imgur.com/hj9MfRl.png | 10:13 |
| hugoit | SDr, hack-n-slask approach: dont wait for push, just force pull every 60 seconds :D | 10:13 |
| SDr | hugoit, erm, no. other than CPU, forever restart also takes about .5 seconds, so this would result in a 1/120 downtime | 10:14 |
| tangorri | hugoit, my keyboard is a TLK (no numpad) so I need to choose something like tlk ? | 10:14 |
| TJ- | rudeguy: hard to be sure, but mostly they'd be expected under /usr/share/icons | 10:16 |
| SDr | I see a couple of solutions to this: use a drop-in C binary which executes the script; use git's perms on the directory (so script can run); use eg an http server running with sufficient perms, and an http hook; wonder what the best conceptual approach might be? | 10:16 |
| hugoit | tangorri, won't matter too much, just choose a french layout and and if the numpad isnt there it wont change the behaviour of the rest of the keyboard | 10:16 |
| tangorri | ok thanks :) | 10:16 |

| RoseBus | hello, in the event where file/folder permissions got all fudged up in the /homes directory, would it be appropriate to run chmod 700 -R * | 12:28 |
| RoseBus | and on top of that question, why do some choose to make the folders different permissions than the files | 12:30 |
| Ampelbein | RoseBus: no, that would also set files to executable | 12:30 |
| machunhui-mix2s- | chown -R root:root folder | 12:31 |

| ayekat | ah wait... didn't see the `+` there | 13:24 |
| RoseBus | is that guest? | 13:24 |
| TJ- | RoseBus: actually no, it ought to be drwxr-xr-x | 13:24 |

| RoseBus | getfacl: command not found | 13:25 |
| RoseBus | sry not using ubuntu xD | 13:25 |
| ayekat | it's possible that it's owned by root, but with ACLs that give the corresponding user read/write access - but drwxrwxrwx would kinda defeat this | 13:25 |
| TJ- | RoseBus: that's not really fair, since we're here to support Ubuntu and if you're using a different distro then we have no idea what its defaults are | 13:27 |

| holst | whops... ok. that was the problem. `vlc-bin` was not enough | 13:57 |
| holst | i just assumed that it would work when I had access to the `vlc` binary. strange that it does not give any feedback that it not installed completely? | 13:57 |
| holst | lotuspsychje: are all the snaps updated as often as the apt packages? | 14:01 |
| holst | I sort of like the idea that all dependencies are included in one package and I don't run into this problem :) | 14:01 |

| BluesKaj | no need for snap version of vlc tho | 14:04 |

| sruli | i want to execute a script if screen (gnome) is locked for more than 20 minutes | 14:14 |
| JohnGavr | So you don't want to lock your screen, right? | 14:15 |
| sruli | yes, i want to lock it, if its locked for 20 minutes then do some command | 14:15 |
| holst | do you know how to detect if the screen is locked at all? | 14:16 |
| sruli | ^^ thats my question really | 14:16 |
| JohnGavr | i can't help you for sure | 14:17 |
| ioria | sruli, org.gnome.ScreenSaver.GetSessionIdleTime | 14:17 |
| sruli | ioria: how do i query that? | 14:17 |
| ioria | sruli, https://people.gnome.org/~mccann/gnome-screensaver/docs/gnome-screensaver.html (at bottom) | 14:18 |
| sruli | thanks | 14:18 |
| ioria | ok | 14:18 |
| sruli | ioria: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method 'GetSessionIdleTime' | 14:20 |
| ioria | sruli, yes, that method is not supported in 3.x versions | 14:25 |
| TJ- | sruli: you could try using 'dfeet' to explore org.gnome.ScreenSaver for an alternative likely looking node | 14:27 |
| sruli | ioria: i manage to get status with bus-monitor --session "type='signal',interface='org.gnome.ScreenSaver'" that waits for changes, how would i just query it and exit (not monitor) | 14:27 |
| sruli | TJ-: u like making things harder for me lol ;-) | 14:28 |
| sruli | TJ-: will try that tool see where it gets me | 14:28 |
| ioria | sruli, i use this for execute scripts after (or bf) locking : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WRjbD7K7Yx/ | 14:30 |
| ioria | sruli, replace 'echo null' with your cmds | 14:30 |
| marco | hiiii | 14:31 |
| sruli | ioria: that will execute on status change, i need to execute after x minutes locked | 14:31 |
| marco | hii guys | 14:31 |
| marco | my name is Marco | 14:32 |
| marco | and your? | 14:32 |
| sruli | read the list lol | 14:32 |
| TJ- | sruli: should be possible to trigger a systemd timer when the session locks... but as to how *shrugs* | 14:33 |
| === RoseBus_ is now known as RoseBus | ||
| marco | where is the list? | 14:33 |
| ioria | sruli, at the moment, the only thing i can think of is using xprintidle | 14:34 |
| ioria | sruli, something like this: a=0; while [ $a = 0 ] ; do var=$(xprintidle); if [ "$var" -gt 2000 ]; then xterm; a=1;fi; done | 14:36 |
| sruli | thanks, will try that | 14:36 |

| === qwebirc78180 is now known as duncan-nz | ||
| duncan-nz | I've just installed Ubuntu 19.04 alongside Windows 10 on a Lenovo W540 with legacy boot. Windows boots okay, but Ubuntu doesn't get past the loading screen. Any ideas? | 14:58 |
| tomreyn | giantonik: hi. while 18.10 is still supported (until july), maybe it wasn't the ideal choice. there is 18.04 LTS, a long term support release, and there is 19.04 (release last month), the latest short term (9 months) support release (like 18.10 is). | 14:58 |
| tomreyn | giantonik: so with 19.04 you'd get newer software (which may fix issues in older versions), with 18.04 LTS it's more likely you'll get bug fixes backported. | 14:59 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: were there any errors during the ubuntu installation, though? | 15:00 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: no, nothing | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | giantonik, looks like the gpu is unclaimed, make sure you use the correct driver which should be the nvidia-418 | 15:05 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: repeatedly pressing escape during early boot should bring up the grub menu, are you able to get there, and boot with failsafe graphics? | 15:05 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: i'm in the grub boot menu now. how do i load with failsafe graphics? | 15:07 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: I should mention that I did try the live CD and everything seemed to work fine. | 15:08 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: hmm this should be an option listed on 19.04, maybe in "Advanced" | 15:08 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: i've only got a choice of kernels and a 'recovery mode' | 15:09 |
| tomreyn | oh you said you installed with legacy boot, that'll be why. | 15:09 |
| tomreyn | why did you install ubuntu in legacy BIOS mode? and did you install windows in bios mode, too? does windows 10 support bios mode at all? if not, how are you switching? | 15:10 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: in the bios it was set to legacy boot support and priority so I went with that and disabled UEFI. | 15:10 |
| tomreyn | does windows 10 still boot then? | 15:11 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: windows boots fine | 15:11 |
| bazul | windows boobs fine | 15:11 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: i've started recovery mode | 15:12 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: i would very much recommend you install both OS in the same boot mode | 15:12 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: agreed. isn't that what I did? I assumed Ubuntu installed with legacy boot if the system didn't seem to be using UEFI. But it didn't ask at any time. | 15:13 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: ubuntu will install in the mode the installer is booted in. so if you want ubuntu to install in uefi mode, boot the installer in uefi mode. | 15:14 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: but it didn't prompt me at any time to decide. so how do i know what mode the installer is booting in? | 15:15 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: should I start the live USB again? | 15:16 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk | ||
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: you will need to have the firmware boot the usb in uefi mode. i suggest you do so if you think ubuntu was not installed in uefi mode. | 15:16 |
| tomreyn | alternatviely you can boot to recovery and we can establish how ubuntu is installed | 15:17 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: so what should I be looking for in the bios? I'm asking about what the setting you talk about would be called. | 15:18 |
| roboirc | can somebody tell me how to reset ubuntu's repository update settings or something like that? getting errors when trying to update manually in Ubuntu 18.04. thx | 15:18 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: and now I got in by continuing from the recovery mode environment. I'll do an update. | 15:18 |
| giantonik | Use rufus on windows to create live USB with GPT partition table | 15:19 |
| giantonik | for UEFI | 15:19 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: that's much guessing, i'm afraid, since it depends on the firmware really. there are also firmwares which lack support for usb booting in uefi mode. here are smoe guesses: "USB: ubuntu", "USB (UEFI)", "EFI: USB" | 15:19 |
| duncan-nz | giantonik: are you talking to me? I did use rufus. What's the reference to GTP about? | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | roboirc, what kind of errors ? | 15:21 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: if you paste this to a temrinal window, it will report how ubuntu booted: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD" | 15:21 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: I guess i need to be sure if windows is booting in legacy or uefi mode before doing anything though, right? | 15:22 |
| giantonik | duncan-nz: yes. MBR for bios. GPT for UEFI | 15:22 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: as far as i know windows 10 will always boot in uefi mode, but, sure, i can be wrong, so mabye ensure this is the case, first. | 15:22 |
| frib | I get permission denied (public key) and I think it's because my username is on both machines but the UID doesn't match. how do I fix this thanks? | 15:23 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: the bios says 'UEFI Secure boot: OFF' but that's maybe a sub-function of UEFI boot? | 15:24 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: it is an optional functionality of uefi indeed | 15:25 |
| giantonik | duncan-nz: you can choose GPT or MBR on Rufus | 15:25 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: as giantonik suggests, there is a chance that you wrote the ubuntu installer iso file to the installer storage in a way wthat predetermined how it will boot / can be booted. | 15:26 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: but I have had success getting Ubuntu to boot at least once. Would that be possible if they were in different boot modes. | 15:27 |
| tomreyn | i'm not familiar with rufus, usually recommend https://etcher.io instead, which does both ensure the standard ubuntu desktop installer is bootable in both legacy bios and uefi mode, and verifies it was written to the installer storage properly. | 15:28 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: should I just go back to windows and make a new live cd using GPT. | 15:28 |
| giantonik | duncan-nz: yes | 15:29 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: you can either boot to ubuntu and run the command i provided above to check which mode it is installed in, or boot to windows and prepare a fresh installation. | 15:29 |
| giantonik | boot to windows and prepare a fresh installation. | 15:30 |
| duncan-nz | giantonik: in bios startup it says: 'Boot > UEFI/Legacy Boot : [Legacy Only]' | 15:30 |
| giantonik | you have uefi | 15:30 |
| duncan-nz | giantonik: sorry for being sceptical, but I don't understand how 'legacy only' can tell me I am using UEFI. | 15:31 |
| giantonik | you need new live usb from rufus with GPT option enabled | 15:32 |
| giantonik | do you have secure boot? | 15:32 |
| duncan-nz | giantonik: yes, but it's turned off | 15:32 |
| giantonik | perfect | 15:32 |
| giantonik | try how i | 15:33 |
| giantonik | as I told you | 15:33 |
| duncan-nz | giantonik: sorry for being sceptical, but I don't understand how 'legacy only' can tell me I am using UEFI. | 15:33 |
| duncan-nz | giantonik: I like to understand this | 15:33 |
| giantonik | scuse me | 15:34 |
| giantonik | you have BIOS | 15:34 |
| giantonik | not UEFI | 15:34 |
| giantonik | you need new live usb from rufus with MBR option enabled | 15:35 |
| giantonik | scuse me but i understood that you have UEFI | 15:35 |
| duncan-nz | giantonik: I'm pretty sure that's what it was I'll boot again via recovery mode and use @tomreyn command to check how it booted. | 15:36 |
| roboirc | BluesKaj: "Failed to download repository information" | 15:43 |

| sruli | i need to close a remote gedit window, anyway i can send ctrl+s over ssh? (xdotool wont work as cant get it to focus window while screen is locked) | 15:45 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: according to your script ubuntu is loading in legacy mode. Windows 10 also reports that it is booting in legacy mode. So something else is wrong. Eveything seems to work okay once I go through recovery mode. so maybe I should just load propriatory drivers ... | 15:46 |
| roboirc | https://pasteboard.co/IeniU82.png | 15:46 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: okay, so i understand you have both OS installed in legacy mode. is this how you intend to keep it? | 15:46 |

| lotuspsychje | roboirc: also, alot of packages you added ppa's for, we also have in the official ubuntu repos | 15:50 |
| roboirc | so what do I do now lotuspsychje? | 15:50 |
| lotuspsychje | roboirc: we advise to run ubuntu with the default sources, see the factoid above^ | 15:51 |
| roboirc | so I should check out: the recommended sources? | 15:51 |
| lotuspsychje | !ppapurge | roboirc to remove them | 15:51 |
| ubottu | roboirc to remove them: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 15:51 |
| roboirc | ok | 15:51 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: the first two of these commands update uubntu generally, the latter installs proprietary drivers. if you, however, prefer to boot both Os in uefi mode (personally i'd prefer this, since some functionality now depends on this, and legacy bios mode is not going to be supported, at least by windows, for much longer), you'll neeed to reinstall both operating systems, starting with windows, ensuring you always boot in eufi mode (disable | 15:52 |
| tomreyn | compatibility support module / CSM / legacy BIOS) | 15:52 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: i don't have the original installational media and can only install windows form the recovery partition. In that process I don't have many options, but I might look into it. | 15:53 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: thanks for your help | 15:53 |
| tomreyn | duncan-nz: okay, there's ##windows if you'd like to seek assistence with that | 15:54 |
| duncan-nz | tomreyn: thanks | 15:54 |
| tomreyn | (another channel here on freenode, with those double hashes) | 15:54 |
| roboirc | lotuspsychje: how would I remove the package from line 33 in https://pastebin.com/kUaqiWnf ? | 15:56 |
| roboirc | lotuspsychje: how would I remove the package from line 30 in https://pastebin.com/kUaqiWnf using ppa-purge? Can you show me the syntax? thanks | 15:56 |
| lotuspsychje | roboirc: we cant know what exactly you added, check your sources.list to see related mono ppa? | 15:57 |
| roboirc | ok | 15:57 |
| roboirc | thanks lotuspsychje resolved the issue | 16:02 |
| lotuspsychje | roboirc: if you need an ubuntu package in the future, try: apt-cache search yourprogram | 16:03 |

| lotuspsychje | giantonik: please keep in mind, changing uefi settings could influence an install | 18:14 |
| giantonik | without secureboot blackscreen | 18:14 |
| lotuspsychje | giantonik: for gtx cards thats normal, you need to get in via !nomodeset then | 18:14 |

| giantonik | it's the same thing | 18:17 |
| lotuspsychje | giantonik: try to work systematic, first try to boot with changed uefi settings | 18:17 |
| giantonik | ok thanks | 18:18 |
| lotuspsychje | giantonik: then if you enter nomodeset, you can add the ppa GUI and install a driver from there | 18:18 |
| noregret | I woke up with ubuntu server 18.04 unreachable, I had to up -> down its interface for it to connect again. I looked at syslog and found out when it stopped connecting to the internet but i don't know what happened, how can I troublshoot this further? | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | come join to #ubuntu-server please noregret | 18:19 |
| giantonik | then I have to change the grub permanently | 18:19 |

| CarlFK | where is the 'project page' for apt-cache policy grub-ipxe ... 1.0.0+git-20150424.a25a16d-1ubuntu1.2 | 18:59 |
| CarlFK | lp search takes me to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe | 19:00 |
| lotuspsychje | CarlFK: what are you trying to do as end goal? | 19:01 |
| CarlFK | lotuspsychje: install it on debian | 19:01 |
| lotuspsychje | CarlFK: ask in #debian if they got the package somewhere? | 19:02 |
| CarlFK | lotuspsychje: I was going to, but wanted to reference the ubuntu package page - and maybe see a link to "upstream" | 19:02 |
| CarlFK | lotuspsychje: and now I'm confused and curious - just noticed on that lp page "grub-ipxe: Network booting from GRUB using iPXE" | 19:03 |
| CarlFK | looks like that page is the page I was looking for. drilling down I see: Package files grub-ipxe_1.0.0+git-20190109.133f4c4-0ubuntu2_all.deb (740.9 KiB) | 19:04 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: for Debian see https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=stable§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=sourcenames&keywords=ipxe | 19:05 |
| CarlFK | TJ- yeah.. but no "adds it to grub" | 19:06 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: indeed, it's a direct import to Ubuntu. You can tell that in a package version due to the 0ubuntu... part. Where that "0" is should be the debian package version. 0 means there isn't one. | 19:07 |
| CarlFK | TJ-: thanks - I wont bug #debian then | 19:08 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: in the grub-iipxe changelog you can see when the grub-ipxe package was added "ipxe (1.0.0+git-2.149b50-1ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low" | 19:08 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: that's in http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/i/ipxe/ipxe_1.0.0+git-20180124.fbe8c52d-0ubuntu2/changelog | 19:09 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: it may well be posible to appy the same patches to enable grub-ipxe binary package if you want to build the package on Debian of course | 19:09 |
| CarlFK | TJ-: prolly, but thats way more work than trying to figure out when and what F8 key to hit during post, which is what I was trying to avoid | 19:11 |

| ubottu | root: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 19:11 |
| === root is now known as Guest80172 | ||

| Ben64 | roboirc: it says right there | 19:13 |
| roboirc | meh | 19:14 |

| CarlFK | woot! it worked! :D | 19:16 |
| TJ- | roboirc: it's not accurate; firstly the IRC ~user@host does not prove the client username is 'root', even root@host doesn't not prove that since it is confirmed using the IDENT procotol. Secondly, 'root' may not be the alias for UID 0, and thirdly, The IRC client could be running within an unprivileged container where UID 0 inside the container maps to UID 10000000 on the host OS :) | 19:16 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: I would expect it would work since the're very little delta between Debian and Ubuntu for that package | 19:16 |
| TJ- | CarlFK: also, it is installing code that executes before Linux loads so the only incompatiblity might be in the config scripts | 19:17 |
| roboirc | meh | 19:18 |
| MoPac | (18.10 - Unity) I'm experiencing a pretty bizarre error: my clipboard has stopped working, or at least pasting. This persists through a logout and a restart.

| MoPac | I installed CopyQ and can see copied text entering the clipboard, and I can use its own onboard functionlity through its app indicator to autotype pastes, but otherwise I really don't know where to start on diagnosing the issue.

| zull | Hi guys could you help me in dns and domain? we have a domain: globepostalservice-posta-nazionale.com. This domain should address to the ip 87.118.125.214. In this IP there is an ubuntu server with nginx turned on. I am in tail -f in all the nginx log files but I cannot see any http request. Is it a ubuntu bad configuration or something about DNS? | 20:40 |
| tds | zull: that looks like a dns issue - http://dnsviz.net/d/globepostalservice-posta-nazionale.com/dnssec/ has some details | 20:42 |
| zull | tds than what could I do to fix it? | 20:45 |
| tds | zull: it looks like you've got NS records pointed at some hostnames that fail to resolve - you probably need to contact whoever runs those nameservers | 20:46 |
| tds | oh! that zone gets delegated back to you eventually, assuming you're 87.118.124.214 | 20:47 |
| zull | then it is not a my fault in some configuration of bind. I never did it and I am not able to understand who make the mistake.. me into the server or the provider who gives me the domain | 20:47 |
| tds | so you need to fix the nameserver running on your machine | 20:47 |
| zull | ok could you give me some advise to solve this? | 20:48 |
| tds | when I query your nameserver for globepostalservice-posta-nazionale.com or NS.CUSTOMERSERVER0196001.EURHOSTING.NET I get back refused, so you probably need to check your bind config, see if you've included those zones and whether you've filtered queries to specific addresses | 20:49 |
| tds | if you're using bind then you probably want #bind :) | 20:49 |
| zull | Yes I installed bind but I didn't configured it | 20:50 |
| tds | ah, that'd do it, go write some config :) | 20:50 |
| teliot | unable to get netplan.io working on fresh install of server 18.04.02 despite google's help | 20:51 |
| zull | ok if I go doing it. could you give me some exaplme to do follow? | 20:51 |
| TJ- | tds: zull if ns.customerserver0196001.eurhosting.net isn't returning a record, isn't that eurhosting.net problem (assuming they control the customerserver0196001 zone ? | 20:52 |
| tds | TJ-: the CUSTOMERSERVER0196001.EURHOSTING.NET zone is delegated back to NS.CUSTOMERSERVER0196001.EURHOSTING.NET and ns2... which appear to both be zull's server at 87.118.125.214 | 20:53 |

| tds | oh, only ns2 points at that ip actually, ns is 87.118.124.214 | 20:53 |
| TJ- | my 'dig' isn't able to resolve any of them | 20:54 |
| tds | you need to query the nameserver for eurhosting.net directly, since they're glue records | 20:55 |
| tds | so the a records are included in both the delegated zone and the parent zone, and your resolver is probably attempting to query the nameservers for the delegated zone and failing | 20:55 |
| tds | zull: is 87.118.124.214 yours as well? | 20:56 |
| zull | yes tds | 20:56 |
| tds | ok, so you need to configure bind on both of those boxes with zonefiles for both customerserver0196001.eurhosting.net and your other domain | 20:56 |
| zull | if you tell me which file edit and what to write I could be very very happy... | 20:56 |
| TJ- | tds: oh, I mistyped the @ | 20:56 |
| tds | zull: google around and you'll probably fine a guide, but the tldr is write a pair of zonefiles and add zone declarations in the bind config with references to those zonefiles | 20:58 |
| tds | s/fine/find/ | 20:58 |
| TJ- | zull: I'd set one of the up as the 'master' SOA, and the other as a slave | 20:58 |
| TJ- | zull: that way you only have to edit zone files on one host and they syay synced | 20:59 |
| TJ- | s/syay/stay/ | 20:59 |
| zull | then you are saying I need to configure bind9 adding zones and configure nameserver for my ip maybe finding some example. right? | 21:00 |
| teliot | this netplan.io config not working. https://pastebin.com/w773hvAL do i need todo anything besides the yaml to change to netplan? | 21:00 |
| zull | tds, TJ: I mean edit the file /etc/bind/named.conf.local and starting studying from this? | 21:01 |
| TJ- | teliot: of course it won't work, the file isn't a .yaml | 21:01 |
| teliot | when i rename the file i cant ping gateway, i rename the file to ssh and use pastebin | 21:02 |
| TJ- | teliot: see "man netplan" and particularly ".... All /{lib,etc,run}/netplan/*.yaml are considered ..." | 21:02 |
| TJ- | teliot: ahh, OK... well that sounds like you've got some other problem. | 21:04 |
| TJ- | teliot: netplan only writes systemd-networkd .network files under /run/systemd/network/ so when the YAML is active, examine what is being written to the files there for the bridge. And ensure you have no firewall rules blocking the interface br0 | 21:06 |
| teliot | TJ-: rebooting now | 21:07 |
| teliot | looks like that same as the yaml file. i see nothing wrong. i could screen shot the esxi console if you would like to see | 21:09 |
| TJ- | teliot: this is a similar example showing what you'd expect systemd-network files to contain - note these are statically written files in /etc/systemd/network/ but your files would be in /run/systemd/network/ if generated by netplan http://paste.debian.net/1083643/ | 21:09 |
| teliot | i just get 3 files, i can switch the yaml back, reboot and compare | 21:10 |
| TJ- | teliot: as it is the systemd-network config that actually sets up the network, it is always best to check that i being created correctly, before worrying about the YAML | 21:10 |
| TJ- | teliot: yes, you should have a br0.netdev, br0.network and ens160.network | 21:11 |
| teliot | correct | 21:11 |
| teliot | ping 192.168.1.1 fails | 21:11 |
| TJ- | teliot: if you have local console (not using network SSH) to that host, then check for firewall rules blocking the br0 interface | 21:12 |
| teliot | ufw status is inactive | 21:12 |
| TJ- | teliot: because your pastebin when not using netplan was assigning the address to ens160 itself NOT a bridge | 21:12 |
| teliot | i will dhcp that and see what changes | 21:13 |
| TJ- | teliot: try manually creating/configuring the bridge identically to how you want it | 21:13 |
| teliot | i dont know how todo that | 21:13 |
| TJ- | teliot: as in "brctl addbr br0; brctl addif br0 ens160; ip addr add 192.168.1.230/24 dev br0" | 21:14 |
| teliot | bridge-utils was not installed :( | 21:16 |
| beaver | hello, i use Ubuntu 18.04 with the driver nvidia 340, i have a Nvidia 9600 GT, and i need to overclock my hardware. I use this command : nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=1 and sudo service lightdm restart, but https://www.tiennotblog.fr/images/tutoriels/nvidia001.jpg doesn't appear | 21:20 |
| TJ- | teliot: brctl is 'legacy' but easier to understand; it can be done with ip link add ... | 21:21 |
| TJ- | beaver: if I recall correctly, cool-bits needs more than 1 | 21:22 |
| teliot | having trouble doing it manually | 21:22 |
| beaver | TJ-: you know what value should I indicate for my material? | 21:23 |
| TJ- | beaver: just checked a nvidia xorg.conf I have, and it uses: " Option "Coolbits" "13" " | 21:24 |
| TJ- | beaver: so try --cool-bits=13 | 21:25 |
| beaver | ok | 21:25 |
| TJ- | beaver: there is some docs on what each of the bits enables in the nvidia doc Appendix | 21:25 |
| teliot | TJ-: got the br0 up manually with ping working | 21:25 |
| beaver | cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep Cool | 21:26 |
| beaver | [ 3050.546] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "Coolbits" "13" | 21:26 |
| beaver | but same | 21:26 |
| beaver | ok | 21:26 |
| TJ- | teliot: Great... so now you know br0 should work. So next step is to capture and pastebin the generated systemd-networkd files in /run/systemd/network/ for us to check. You can do that easily with "grep . /run/systemd/network/* | nc termbin.com 9999" | 21:27 |
| TJ- | beaver: maybe it doesn't support the overclock you're expecting? | 21:27 |

| beaver | i use : sudo service lightdm restart | 21:29 |
| beaver | yes | 21:29 |
| TJ- | teliot: that doesn't show a bridge config, only a DHCPv4 for ens160 | 21:30 |
| teliot | its how i got ping working. | 21:30 |
| TJ- | beaver: no idea then; possibly something to chase up on the nvidia forums | 21:30 |
| TJ- | teliot: right, which is NOT a bridge config, so not comparible | 21:30 |
| teliot | i am updating the yaml to see if it really was the stale arp address on the switches for a new mac address of the bridge | 21:30 |
| beaver | ok, thank you TJ- | 21:31 |
| j0seph | hi all | 21:31 |
| teliot | TJ-: my ip add show currently shows bridge o.O | 21:31 |
| teliot | my ip add show and my /run/systemd/network/* do not match | 21:32 |
| TJ- | teliot: I don't think you should have the "ens160" in the "ethernets" section of the YAML, remove that. | 21:34 |
| TJ- | teliot: by having it there with "dhcp4: false" is telling it to create a config for that interface | 21:34 |
| teliot | ping works with netplan yaml now, it was the ip. i can still remove that ens160 | 21:34 |
| TJ- | teliot: you only need ens160 listed in the bridge interfaces | 21:35 |

| teliot | my /etc/systemd/network/ is empty | 21:50 |
| teliot | will look into that | 21:50 |

| tds | TJ-: as far as the user experience side goes though, it's no more of a network management tool than networkd though, surely? | 21:50 |
| TJ- | teliot: yes, it would be, until you add config files there! | 21:50 |
| teliot | if netplan isnt the new goto i will give it a pass | 21:50 |

| TJ- | tds: it's a level of abstraction that complicates things un-necessarily, especially when things don't work as expected | 21:51 |

| tds | TJ-: yeah, I'm still a bit surprised they wrote their own thing rather than just switching to plain networkd | 21:53 |

| MoPac | (18.10 - Unity) I'm experiencing a pretty bizarre error: my clipboard has stopped working, or at least pasting. This persists through a logout and a restart. It appears to affect all apps and cross-app pasting, including terminal, and it doesn't matter whether using ctrl-v/ctrl-shift-v or right click --> paste. | 21:54 |
| MoPac | I installed CopyQ and can see copied text entering the clipboard, and I can use its own onboard functionlity through its app indicator to autotype pastes, but otherwise I really don't know where to start on diagnosing the issue. I'm not even entirely sure what the clipboard *is* per se, from a code point of view | 21:54 |
| TJ- | MoPac: sounds rather like something has taken over the hotkeys... or is it Edit > Paste also fails ? | 21:56 |
| tasos | lifo.gr | 21:59 |
| MoPac | TJ-: right click --> paste and edit --> paste also fail, just as ctrl-v and ctrl-shift-v do | 21:59 |
| MoPac | choosing a snipped on CopyQ works, but I think that's probably because it's using some kind of x-keyboard or other input method that isn't an actual paste | 22:00 |
| MoPac | *snippet | 22:00 |
| TJ- | MoPac: that does sound very strange. you installed CopyQ *after* this began happeninf to diagnose it ? | 22:00 |
| MoPac | TJ-: correct | 22:01 |
| MoPac | I hadn't done anything that I can think of that would have affected it -- I think the problem originally even arose in the middle of a session, too | 22:01 |
| MoPac | I tried stopping the kdeconnectd and kdeconnect indicator processes in case the shared clipboard functionality was messing it up somehow, but no difference | 22:02 |
| MoPac | But I don't even know if the clipboard is part of X, part of the DE, part of systemd, or something else... It's always just sort of, like, *there*.. | 22:03 |
| TJ- | MoPac: this is on a bare-metal host, not in a virtual machine? | 22:04 |
| MoPac | TJ-: correct | 22:04 |
| TJ- | MoPac: as i understand it, X has two clipboards, or did. There's the 'primary' that is the currently selected object that a mouse middle-click operates on, and the 'clipboard buffer' that Ctrl+C/Shift+Ctrl+V Edit/Paste works on, but I doubt that is anything to do with your issue | 22:06 |
| MoPac | and other keyboard shortcuts don't seem affected, whetner in-app (like opening a new tab), compiz/unity (like moving workspaces or bringing up a terminal with a global shortcut), or lower-level (like switching to a different virtual terminal) | 22:06 |
| TJ- | MoPac: if Edit > Paste fails then its not keyboard related | 22:06 |
| MoPac | TJ-: Well, this is going to confuse you even more then, because a middle click just worked (I never use middle click for paste and didn't even remember that as a third way to do it) | 22:07 |
| MoPac | I also just tried selecting an older snippet via CopyQ (which "typed" it in or whatever) and then middle clicking, and that successfully pasted that newly-selected piece of text. But still nothing from ctrl-v or menu->paste | 22:09 |
| TJ- | MoPac: there's ghosts in the machine! | 22:10 |
| TJ- | MoPac: so it looks like somehow something has changed which clipboard 'buffer' in X is being used | 22:12 |
| MoPac | So it does look like the system clipboard is both pasting okay and successfully watching whatever the 'selected' item is in the buffer clipboard. And the buffer is taking in copied text alright as well. But not pasting it. I'm going to try something that isn't text... | 22:13 |
| teliot | TJ-: when i did apt remove netplan.io it broke /run/systemd/network/ so it seems to be pretty integrated.. even with apt install netplan.io the dir /run/systemd/network would not come back after reboots. going to snap shot restore the VM. afk a bit | 22:13 |
| MoPac | so I can't copy-paste a file in Nautilus on my desktop. There, the paste option stays grayed-out even after a copy. (With text, paste had been appearing as an active option but just not doing anything when selected) | 22:15 |
| TJ- | teliot: as I told you earlier, netplan writes to /run/systemd/network/ - that is a tmpfs that only exists while the OS is running. For static networkd configs, put them in /etc/system/network/ | 22:17 |
| TJ- | MoPac: if I were you i'd check the apt install history in case some package name stands out as possibly affecting this /var/log/apt/history* | 22:18 |
| TJ- | MoPac: otherwise it is presumably a user config option - so create a new user account, log-in to it, check if it is affected. if it is not, you have confirmed the issue is a per-user config, which is likely stored under $HOME/.config/ | 22:19 |
| MoPac | hm, I created a new user, but I can't seem to switch to the account. Not sure if I need to reboot | 22:22 |
| TJ- | MoPac: should be able to log out and then log in as that user | 22:23 |
| MoPac | I'll give it a shot | 22:23 |
| MoPac | TJ- So indeed, in a new user account, copy-paste was working | 22:28 |
| MoPac | logging back into this one, it's not | 22:28 |
| TJ- | MoPac: so, likely some setting under $HOME/.config/ | 22:29 |
| TJ- | MoPac: so maybe you can track it down using commands like "grep -rni clip $HOME/.config/" | 22:30 |

| activist | hi fellows! | 22:45 |
| MikeRL | Ugh. Something updated recently and now my mouse cursor locks up quite often. Have no clue what lies as the root cause. Using closed Nvidia drivers. Wonder if they're to blame... | 23:07 |
| === vital is now known as Guest83728 | ||
| MikeRL | It seems to happen every minute or so. How annoying. | 23:15 |
| MikeRL | Does not happen on Windows so it must be Ubuntu. | 23:16 |
| MikeRL | Going to try open source drivers and see if the issue goes away. | 23:19 |

| teliot | TJ-: many of the configs i was using was valid. VmWare was blocking the network traffic. Once i changed the virtual switch to allow "Promiscuous Mode" things started working.. Thanks for your help! I learned a bunch :) | 23:31 |
