[00:00] now i understand why some articles have talked up cloud providers having to buy more hardware [00:01] @snadge, Not diable hyperthreading is a option [00:01] which also explains why apple has claimed the mitigation can reduce the performance of some workloads by up to 40% [00:02] not a option for me [00:02] well then you remain vulnerable.. basically [00:02] Yeah [00:02] that is terrible news for intel.. and I hope AMD do well out of this [00:03] me too, maybe ARM will make desktop chips [00:04] Everything I own is Intel except for my server which is AMD [00:05] what is it this vulnerability everyone talks about? [00:05] I recently got a microcode update on ubuntu, is that related to that? [00:07] yep [00:07] @llcy, check out mdsattacks.com [00:09] no joke, can I disable the fixes for all those security updates? I don't want to buy a new cpu, my existing cpu seems to get slower by the day... [00:10] You can disable hyperthreading which really isn't a option for me [00:11] Can't afford to buy new chips for 3 systems [00:11] what was the impact of this last patch? [00:11] Not sure [00:12] ok once gnome tweak is installed, where do I find it? :/ [00:12] gnome-tweak-tool [00:13] right [00:13] and um... where is it llcy? [00:14] `whereis gnome-tweak-tool`, i guess :D [00:14] i dont have it installed. I mean, if you want to run it, it should be in your gnome menu or you should be able to run it via the terminal [00:14] yes... [00:14] oh ok [00:14] `whereis gnome-tweak-tool` should give you the binary path [00:15] oic [00:15] /usr/lib i think [00:17] ok [00:17] Its called tweaks in gnome menu [00:18] yes :) [00:18] thanks llcy [00:18] there is also `dconf-editor`, a similar app. if whatever you are trying to change isn't in gnome-tweak-tool, try dconf [00:18] np [00:18] it seems to be a python file :/ [00:18] you did install gnome-tweak-tool though right [00:19] I did [00:19] Read up on dconf-editor you can mess up your system [00:19] hrm [00:19] how do I just run the gnome tweak tool? [00:19] run `gnome-tweak-tool` on the terminal [00:19] oh and hold up, try `gnome-tweaks` [00:20] hello everyone. in light of the zombieload exploit, is there a use case in which it would be acceptable to leave hyperthreading enabled? for instance, I am currently on my single-user laptop and only really install software from trusted sources. [00:20] oh ok [00:21] and like anselm said, it is named `Tweaks` on the menu. the menu should pop-up when you press the super/windows key i think. [00:22] nope it idn't [00:22] I figure it out I have google [00:23] wait you mean you dont have the menu entry at all? [00:24] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/t9md/t9md/1675510eaa1b789aeffbc49c1ae3b1e8e7dceabe/img/vim-choosewin.gif [00:24] how do you get the filename to show up like that at the bottom using vim. is it just some custom theme? [00:24] Darn just did a quick read on MDS it's a remote vulnerability [00:24] Might have to disable hyper threading [00:24] I need the command to install software to boot a iso in grub again someone gave me the command to do so to boot iso from grub I just cant remember how to do it again I was succiful [00:25] I think I need gnome-shell [00:25] JoeLlama, are you running gnome? [00:25] @JoeLlama, What DE are you running [00:25] I don't think so llcy [00:25] dunno [00:26] are you using ubuntu? [00:26] yes, xubuntu [00:26] yes [00:26] works nice :) [00:26] ah that's not gnome then I think [00:26] why did you need gnome-tweak-tool for? [00:26] to tell the computer what to do when the lid is closed [00:27] when I close the lid the computer stops working I guess [00:27] in any case, i imagine gnome tweak tool wouldn't work for you even if you got it working -- since your DE wouldn't listen to the gnome conf files :p [00:27] I don't use XFCE but it shoulod have a option [00:27] oh ok [00:27] how do I remove the tool? [00:28] sudo apt remove --purge gnome-tweak-tool [00:28] oh ok === sins-_p is now known as sins- [00:29] nope [00:30] sudo apt remove --purge gnome-tweaks [00:30] maybe [00:30] command -purge not understood in combination with the other opinos [00:30] oh ok [00:30] nope [00:30] ah well [00:30] --purge [00:31] you have to use double hyphens, not single, maybe thats the issue? [00:31] I think it odd that my audio stop working for some reason I had it working before I just do not now what happen [00:31] crying [00:31] in the meantime, check if there is an app called `power manager` or `power management` or something. or try running `xfce4-power-manager` [00:32] this seems to be the power management settings for xfce. you should have the laptop lid options there [00:34] oh :) [00:34] fixed (: [00:34] I got a lot to learn [00:34] and try it. sometimes these apps don't work so well, so don't think it is working just because you set it up :p [00:34] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/MDS [00:34] so um... is there another way to get the system to understand what to do when I close the lid> [00:34] ? [00:35] have you checked out the power manager thing? [00:35] nope! but I will... I was looking for that [00:35] where is the power manager... lemme check on the menu bar [00:36] oh... there's something :) [00:36] try running `xfce4-power-manager` on the terminal if its not in the menu [00:36] @JoeLlama, Might be in settings?? [00:36] heh done :) [00:36] i think it is its own app [00:36] no no power manager thingy that's where it was [00:37] no longer locks... just switches off the display [00:37] so is your issue fixed now? [00:38] yes all of them for the moment llcy thanks [00:38] xubuntu works nicely on all of these small notebooks I have [00:38] a little slow at times and... [00:38] won't handle a large video but... [00:38] works :) [00:38] neat. well, you are running xfce, so do your searches with that keyword instead of gnome :p [00:38] oh um... k [00:39] the budgie DE seems to run well with <1gb ram. its not bad as gnome, if you decide to switch from xfce at some point on, try ubuntu budgie first [00:39] I have a bunch of 1.6 GHz boxes... small low power CPUs [00:39] oh ok budgie [00:44] this might be beyond the scope of this channel but I would like to have a Real-Time Kernel for a couple of applications... like RTLinux or something [00:47] well, you just learned which DE you have been using :p you are going to have a bad time if you start messing with the kernels right away [00:49] i cant even find a lot of material on rtlinux when i search for it, if you stumble upon some issue you are probably going to need to solve it entirely on your own since there isn't a lot of support [00:50] oh no no not gunna mess with kernels atm :) heh [00:50] normallly, I run uCOS/II (www.micrium.com) [00:50] I'm good with that stuff [00:50] what is DE llcy? [00:50] desktop environment [00:51] gnome, budgie, xfce, kde [00:51] ah gotcha [00:51] yes xfce [00:57] is removing the keyboard-configuration package to try and reinstall it going to cause issues? [00:57] https://gist.github.com/fiveNinePlusR/f929867c22e3b60a497c5f81dc8b5e49 === jacob is now known as Guest26245 [01:00] Hi folks. When I connect my usb headset (Logitech H390) I hear myself. Any ideas why? [01:02] weaksauce, what does it even do? https://packages.debian.org/jessie/keyboard-configuration [01:03] i'm not sure but kbd, keyboard-configuration, console-setup and console-setup-linux are all borked [01:04] keyboard conf seems to be only about creating one keyboard config file [01:04] seems like it's not important and i could probably remove and reinstall it [01:05] kbd isnt even installed for me, so its not default or anything, you can definitely remove that one if you are also interested in that :p [01:05] though when i looked it up using apt show it was listed as "important" [01:06] well as long as you place it back soon enough :p [01:06] maybe it will ask you for the locale values when you are installing it again [01:06] perhaps [01:07] not too worried as i have snapshot backups [01:07] console-setup also seems fine to remove [01:08] i think those are like utility packages that are meant to be called when you are doing some DE upgrade or something. [01:08] how did you manage to break them? [01:08] do-release-upgrade [01:09] i guess it's probably better to just spin up a new vm and migrate the data [01:09] but lazy [01:09] oooh. maybe they are borked because you dont have the conf files now :D [01:10] and removing and installing them will create the conf files. my working theory [01:10] maybe. i did a remove and install and same error [01:10] maybe i need a purge [01:10] do you have the `/etc/default/keyboard` file? [01:11] yeah [01:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1770482 maybe this is the bug [01:13] Launchpad bug 1770482 in console-setup (Ubuntu) "package keyboard-configuration 1.178ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: installed keyboard-configuration package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,Confirmed] [01:14] probably [01:15] "Work around: Deprecate Ubuntu" well its settled then [01:15] lol [01:17] you should totally remove the package AND delete `/etc/default/keyboard`, maybe then itll see that there is no conf and ask you for input? [01:48] When I ssh into one of my systems. I am greeted with the message Failed to connect to https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts. Check your Internet connection or proxy settings Yes I seem to be able to get online because apt-get update and apt-get upgrade works. Any idea what could be incorrect [01:48] can your curl that specific url? [01:49] I can from here [01:50] jcotton, I cannot. It says -bash: https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts: No such file or directory [01:50] did you literally only type "https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts" [01:50] or did you type "curl https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts" [01:51] jcotton, I typed curl https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts Now the system I am SSH'ing into is supposed to be a DNS and DHCP server for my lan. If I do it from the computer I am on the page loads.

[02:37] The Apple form of the mitigation disables SMP entirely and Apple's own announcement warns of a "40% decrease in performance", however that's measured [02:38] What can cause xorg to crash and stop my mouse/keyboard? [02:39] As soon as I startx I can't do nothing but restart [02:40] I need help puting a iso image ingrub so I can installl upgrade [02:42] I am curious if someone can determine the cause of this ufw block https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jstpjDSRmp/ [02:45] how can I insall grub to iso sudo apt install I dont rember what the command [02:49] apetresc: iirc the macOS patch did not disable hyperthreading [02:49] it just allows you to [03:15] is there anyone here that can help me [03:15] Just ask [03:16] jdr: I need to ask how to boot an iso image in grub I just did it before but I dont know how to to again I installed it throw apt get install grub-image but that not the right command [03:18] Download the ISO, create a grub entry, and then run apt update-grub [03:19] Hi all, I'm wondering if it's a bug that Ubuntu natively doesn't support 3440x1440 when running on vmware? [03:19] I've also noticed this with Kali linux too. [03:20] https://www.howtogeek.com/196933/how-to-boot-linux-iso-images-directly-from-your-hard-drive/ [03:20] tbrown: ^^ [03:20] DarkByD3sign, if you get the same in Kali, it can't be a Ubuntu native bug can it; maybe linux (kernel) related but we support Ubuntu, nor generic linux [03:22] tbrown: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot . [03:23] guiverc2 noted thanks. [03:23] tbrown, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examples may also be useful [03:29] it tells me to load kernel I dont understand [03:39] what is this ubuntu 19 feature, where I type ^ utf8 characters and this show accentuation before I type the letter, this is killing ssh, no accentuation works on ssh, how do I disable that [03:41] SendEnv LANG LC_* is the issue [03:44] So can someone please help me fix my DNS issues? 192.168.1.2 is my Ubuntu 18.04 that is supposed to be running DNSMASQ but it can't resolve anything locally. I believe my other systems are using it for DNS lookups and that is working [04:07] operating under the "assumption" something is wrong with just simply using the dns your isp is providng you with...(and i hate assuming) [04:07] is it possible to share an already started gnu 'screen' session with two people? [04:08] if you went with something with less "administrative" effort for you personally...like maybe a RasPi/PiHOLE solution for example, something that wouldn't be as steep a up hill curve of administrative efforts [04:11] tatertotz, the issue is I have read reportsthat my ISP tracks DNS requests on their servers. [04:12] stoned i once watched a power point presentation from a linux desktop in a audience of lots of people in a "stadium" ...so it's safe to assume YES it's possible [04:13] tatertotz, and I don't want to buy more HW. My router's DHCP server is randomly hanging so I figured doing my own DNS/DHCP server would be best [04:16] ah one of those users...worried about being "tracked" [04:16] hi! i have a problem with all apps from appstore and google play store. is possible my isp to change dns of them? as i no one is responding on my apps? [04:17] tatertotz, indeed. I don't trust Optimum [04:17] or facebook have a algorithm for tracking my profiles even if it has different credentials? [04:17] well you probably pay your ISP from your bank or credit card financial institution ($) which knowns your billing address and more, and good luck trying to boycott using money $ [04:17] LOL [04:18] hah [04:20] lol...you thought they'd "sell" you tech that actually gave you any real power lol [05:14] helo [05:14] !rootirc | darkarmy [05:14] darkarmy: 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. [05:15] I’m unable to install kernel 4.15.0-50-generic on my xubuntu 18.04 install. It locks up somewhere in grub-mkconfig calling 30_uefi-firmwar or something [05:15] any ideas? I’m booting off an external drive and I’ve tried turning off secure boot [05:16] z3r0_d: can you pastebin the whole output to the channel, so volunteers can see whats going on? [05:17] https://pastebin.com/7AgedD6G lotuspsychje [05:18] z3r0_d: why did you have to dpkg reconfigure, apt asked it? [05:18] !uptodate | z3r0_d can you try this?

[05:23] yeah, it’s still there [05:23] z3r0_d: you also have external ppa's added to your system that could interfere with apt [05:23] but not sure yet its your case [05:24] would those be in /etc/apt/sources.list?

[07:41] lotuspsychje this is where you get to tell him what is "best" :)...wink /nod [07:41] ok thx i try that next time lotus [07:53] hello there all great ones [07:53] hi there [07:53] there seems to be problems with my wifi not showing up [07:53] wifi card [07:53] is there a list command for it [07:54] or is it best to buy me a new computer and try [07:54] maxjezy: pastebin: lshw -C network && uname -a && lsb_release -a [07:54] from memory, lshw should give you a list of all devices on your computer [07:54] You may need to run it as sudo [07:56] lotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j8hdHZSp38/ [07:56] Does anyone know any active IRC channels for overclocking support? [07:57] Hi, I just noticed that /run/sshd wasn't created on boot (16.04) so `systemctl start ssh` was failing, and I had to manually create the dir to get sshd to start. Anyone heard something about that recently? [07:58] MarzEz: ##hardware [07:59] my wificard does not have 5G? [07:59] lotuspsychje: Cheers [08:00] alkisg: im ilding in #ubuntu-bugs-announce but didnt see ssh bugs recently [08:00] Thank you lotuspsychje, I'll try to search what is supposed to create that dir on boot; e.g. systemd or sshd [08:02] alkisg: could it be related to recent kernel updates? [08:04] Dunno, thanks, I'll have a look at that too. The server was up for 19 days, and it did have the issue, so I imagine the problem happened more than 19 days ago. [08:04] alkisg: ah, then its probably not related [08:04] alkisg: try also in #ubuntu-server maybe? [08:05] It's a desktop, but sure, it makes sense [08:05] ty [08:06] oh, you meant sshd server nvm === rob___ is now known as Radio55-5 === Radio55-5 is now known as Radio55 [08:12] i solved it, i dont know if i was online or not when i wrote it on pidgin [08:12] so, here i say thanks guys for helping me === bill is now known as Guest27484 [08:27] hi. [08:28] i have botted up trying ubuntu. want to update bios, my booting usb drive is fat32 formatted. but its mounted read_-only, and i have to copy to it the binary blob to update in bios. [08:28] how can i mount that with write permissions? [08:31] now that i have booted up from the usb can i just umount it and remount with write permissions? [08:55] Good morning. I cannot install git-send-email on 18.10 (or git-email) is there an external reason my machine cannot find this package or have my apt conf stuff probably gone wonky? [08:56] TafThorne1 what error does it give you? [08:56] \q [08:56] Package 'git-email' has no installation candidate [08:56] Package git-email is not available, but is referred to by another package. [08:56] etc [08:57] do you have the universe repo added? [08:57] TafThorne1, apt-get install git-email ?? [08:57] https://www.apt-browse.org/browse/ubuntu/bionic/universe/all/git-email/1:2.17.0-1ubuntu1/ [08:58] Sweepyoface: Software & Updates says it is enabled [08:58] JohnGavr: that is what gives the kind of error I showed [08:58] Sweepyoface, solution [08:59] urg [09:00] Got Ubuntu to try another UK mirror and now all is well [09:00] Sorry I did not think to try that before coming here [09:00] ah [09:00] enjoy [09:02] helo [09:09] quick question regarding fstab. if the drives i want to mount are storage drives. should i just set to defaults, and to 0 0 ? some of these will be used for regular storage, others will be used for torrenting so there will be lots of writings of files to the disk. [09:29] anyone using kvirc? === root is now known as Guest63834 === Guest63834 is now known as darkarmy [09:33] Hey, I've just installed Ubuntu 19.04 Budgie and I don't have Wifi Drivers for my HP 14-cm0014au Laptop. I've gotten them on Mint 19.1 thanks to jeremy31 but the commands he gave me for Mint don't seem to be working on Ubuntu as it asks for a Github username and password which were not required on mint. How can I get the drivers? [09:34] qwebirc10532: You have a typo in the git clone command [09:34] I'll try it again [09:35] i have a different model hp laptop which doesn't have any ubuntu wifi drivers. i had to install arch drivers. [09:35] wifi card? [09:35] Ralink? [09:35] who, me? [09:36] Yeah lol [09:36] Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [09:36] Ooh, that one, LOL [09:36] must admit, i rarely use wifi. only when at library. while in office, it's ethernet only. [09:36] puppetmaster: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce [09:37] i already have it running. wasn't asking for help. just pointing out that arch drivers worked. [09:37] jeremy31, this is the git clone command I tried. Is it not correct? git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rt18821ce.git [09:38] qwebirc10532: it is rtl8821ce, not rt18821ce [09:39] ah, ok. thanks for the help once again [09:39] rt then small L not a one(1) [09:41] that's working fine now, thanks jeremy31. that command should work on anything based on Ubuntu 18.04 or greater correct? [09:42] qwebirc10532: Looks like the code should be good for a while, kernel 5.0 is supported [09:43] great [09:44] thank you for the help [10:12] guys do any of you know why scptoolkit would render one of my eight usb ports unusable only fix(which is no longer working) is to pull motherboard battery+drain all power from system, replace reboot and choose default re cmos settings (dual bios) [10:12] sounds like hardware failure [10:13]
