| SuperLag | on 19.04, I'm being asked for a password to refresh the system repos. Is there a way to remove this requirement? Are there any negative security ramifications to doing so? | 00:24 |
|---|---|---|
| coz_ | SuperLag, I would leave it alone,, why do you want to remove it? | 00:25 |
| SuperLag | coz_: because it's a nuisance | 00:25 |
| kadiro | lol | 00:25 |
| kadiro | No it is not | 00:26 |
| coz_ | SuperLag, well it is also secure for your sake | 00:26 |
| SuperLag | I beg to differ. | 00:26 |
| SuperLag | refreshing repos *alone* shouldn't require a passowrd | 00:26 |
| SuperLag | installing packages... that's another matter entirely | 00:26 |
| coz_ | SuperLag, but the repos house the software packages | 00:27 |
| SuperLag | yes but you already have to enter a password to install new packages, why add *ANOTHER*? | 00:27 |
| SuperLag | that's a PITA | 00:27 |
| gabkdlly | Don't the repos get updated in the background once a day anyway ? If not, you can make a cron job for that. | 00:28 |
| coz_ | SuperLag, unless your password is very long, is it reallt that troublesome? | 00:28 |
| kadiro | SuperLag> you seems to know better than the ubuntu devs, good luck | 00:28 |
| bindi | sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade, only asks for password once | 00:28 |
| SuperLag | coz_: if I'm busy doing something, and get interupted with a dialog box to enter a password to refresh system repos... yes, that's a nuisance | 00:29 |
| coz_ | sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade | 00:29 |
| SuperLag | whatever option it is that make that happen seems to be enabled out of the box | 00:29 |
| SuperLag | makes, that is | 00:30 |
| coz_ | dist-upgrade does not install a newer version by the way | 00:30 |
| coz_ | of the OS | 00:30 |
| SuperLag | right, that's do-release-upgrade, is it not? | 00:30 |
| coz_ | something like that | 00:30 |
| === murthy_ is now known as murthy | ||
| ZPQ | SuperLag: do-release-upgrade upgrades your OS but I would not recomend it without full backup | 00:54 |
| ZPQ | SuperLag: it can bork your Ubuntu | 00:54 |

| thatlizdude | has anyone ever gotten Ubuntu gnome to scale to 125% or 150%? I can't use it at 100% or 200%, I use Windows at 125%, so it would be great if gnome allowed me to do that too | 01:21 |
| OerHeks | that would be the great update in 19.04, fractional scaling support https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseNotes | 01:24 |
| OerHeks | 18.04 gives 100%-200% | 01:24 |
| Bashing-om | thatlizdude: ^^ : https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/04/how-to-enable-hidpi-fractional-scaling.html | 01:24 |
| thatlizdude | yesss I need that | 01:24 |
| thatlizdude | and should I use Wayland or Xorg? | 01:24 |
| thatlizdude | I know I've had an issue on gnome with Xorg where if I scrolled in a window that was placed over Chrome or VS Code, then the scrolling amount applied to Chrome and VS Code too | 01:25 |
| Bashing-om | thatlizdude: 19.04 supports both protocols. | 01:26 |
| OerHeks | but 19.04 already has that feature | 01:26 |
| thatlizdude | Bashing-om: yeah it's just that I honestly don't know anything about them so I'd use Wayland because it doesn't have the issue that I was experiencing, but is there a reason to choose one over another? | 01:26 |
| OerHeks | if you have nvidia, there are no prop drivers for wayland.. yet | 01:27 |
| thatlizdude | on this laptop it's just integrated | 01:27 |
| Bashing-om | thatlizdude: Depends on your use case and work flow, I find Wayland smoother and faster than X11 on my old hardware. | 01:27 |
| thatlizdude | is Wayland supposed to replace X11? | 01:28 |
| Bashing-om | thatlizdude: That is the end goal to have Wayland as the default :) | 01:28 |
| OerHeks | Mir actually | 01:29 |
| thatlizdude | then yeah I'll try and use that, though I was planning on getting a laptop that will have an Nvidia card, so would you recommend switching to integrated (since I won't be doing any graphic intensive work on Ubuntu) or go with X11? | 01:29 |
| Sir_Andrei | Hi people | 01:31 |
| Sir_Andrei | People, I have a question. | 01:31 |
| Sir_Andrei | I have two computers with Lubuntu 18.04.2 installed (I'm using i3 as WM in both computers). | 01:31 |
| Sir_Andrei | And I wanna use my second computer as a second monitor, is that possible? | 01:32 |
| escalant3 | I have a desktop computer running Ubuntu 19.04. I use a really shitty usb-dongle for wifi connection. It uses the rtl8812au chipset. The problem is that when coming back from suspension the system is unable to reconnect. I need to reinstall the module (rmmod/modprobe) every single time. Is there a way I can contribute to help getting this fixed? | 01:35 |
| darksam | Sir_Andrei: If you want to use the same mouse and keyboard to control both computers and they are on the same network you can use x2x. | 01:38 |
| thatlizdude | thanks guys! :) | 01:48 |

| DoctorMilwaukee | PS1 I'm referring to | 01:58 |
| Sir_Andrei | Thx darksam, I'm trying it C: | 02:00 |
| Bashing-om | DoctorMilwaukee: See the comments in ' grep "prompt" .bashrc ' . | 02:07 |
| Sir_Andrei | darksam, works like a charm, thx :D | 02:10 |

| Lap64 | hello all | 06:00 |
| Lap64 | I am using Kubuntu | 06:00 |
| Lap64 | The laptop I have is having two graphics cards 1 is intel and the other one is ATI | 06:01 |
| Lap64 | when I look for which ATI card I have I get this | 06:01 |
| Lap64 | 01:00.0 Display controller [0380]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265 / M340/M360 / M440/M445] [1002:6900] (rev c3 | 06:01 |
| Lap64 | how can I identify the driver for my card ? | 06:02 |
| fengapapi | try the ubuntu-drivers package. cmd: ubuntu-drivers devices | 06:09 |
| fengapapi | or maybe that is for nvidia only. Not I'm not so sure. | 06:10 |
| fengapapi | did you check through Software and updates, under the Proprietary drivers tab? | 06:13 |

| nikolam | Hi, I am on 18.10 (because on 19.04 I have ICH7 sound problems with constant cracks) and I have a problem on 18.10, that LAN (wired) Network adapter does not come back alive and configured after bringing machine back from the standby. | 06:32 |
| nikolam | And that is the problem because I am sharing internet connection from Xubuntu to LAN over one of two wired LAN adapters. | 06:33 |
| nikolam | So wireless comes back, wired lan stays unconfigured after returning from standby | 06:34 |
| nikolam | it's Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 20) times 2 | 06:35 |
| nikolam | It's Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard, with Marvell 88E8053 LAN Network adapters, that doesn't come back configured after standby on 18.10 | 06:47 |
| nikolam | so actually LAN adapter is there, but networking does not comes up for it, it's set as static V4 IP.. | 06:53 |
| VHL_Necr0 | hallo | 07:30 |
| VHL_Necr0 | hallo | 07:30 |
| Sveta | nikolam: does it work if you bring it up by hand, or it does not work at all? | 07:46 |
| Tankburn | hey there I have issues with my sounds devices atm. Can anyone help me? If I check sudo aplay -l it shows my NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 1] + 3 other devices of the same type, but I cant find them in my Audio settings under output, also I cannot pair my audio headset via bluettoth, yet my controller pairs no issue. I feel like ubuntu wont let me add any new audio devices. | 07:47 |
| Tankburn | any ideads? | 07:48 |
| nikolam | hi Sveta I tried turning off networking and turn it on again, and wireless comes up and configures (also static IP) but wired LAN does not. If that qualifies as tried manually to bring it up, then yes. | 07:48 |
| nikolam | also tried with ifconfig up and changing Link negotiation to Automatic in Network conenction settings and nothing helps | 07:50 |
| nikolam | I bet this is the problem with networking, coupled with driver problem for LAN | 07:50 |
| nikolam | I have'n/t been using standby on 18.04, but I could try and see if it is new behavior for 18.10 and later (I have BTRFS snapshots) | 07:51 |
| Tankburn | Also I read in the documentation to check that the sound card was detected properly run the sudo lspci command... and there it is... | 07:54 |
| Tankburn | Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP106 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) | 07:54 |
| afidegnum | anyone familiar with Sed? i m stuck in the middle | 07:55 |
| Ben64 | afidegnum: best to just ask the actual question | 07:57 |
| afidegnum | I m trying to remove the first enclosure of php file, and leave the rest out. i.e <?php bla bla bla ?> <?php other codes .... this is what i have come up with find . -type f -name "*.php" -exec sed 's/<?php/''/g' {} \; but it only removes <?php | 07:59 |
| Tankburn | update. Changed back to HDMI > HDMI and my sound works | 08:05 |
| Tankburn | from my card | 08:05 |
| Synaptic | hello | 08:05 |
| Tankburn | I previously had DisplayPort > HDMI plug | 08:05 |
| Synaptic | i have a problem with bluetooth, it says device not found | 08:05 |
| Tankburn | Fixed my bluetooth issue also | 08:28 |
| Tankburn | installed bluez-tools | 08:29 |
| Tankburn | bt-device -l | 08:29 |
| Tankburn | found the known device and did bt-device -r on the MAC address | 08:30 |
| Tankburn | re-paired and it worked | 08:30 |
| Jonta | :D | 08:31 |
| gofio | with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS what's the way to move several files from one folder to another all at once? | 08:49 |
| TimeDoctor | gofio: gui or command line? | 08:50 |
| Jonta | gofio: mv *jpg ~/mynewfolder for example? | 08:50 |
| gofio | TimeDoctor: gui | 08:50 |
| Jonta | Open both folders, mark the files you want, drag them over? | 08:51 |
| gofio | Jonta: more drag and drop kinda thing | 08:51 |
| gofio | Jonta: yes but with "administrador de archivos", file manager I guess, it does not pick more than one at a time | 08:52 |
| gofio | it does with Dolphin, but dolphin does not recognize the samsung android it's plugged via usb, but file manager does | 08:53 |
| gofio | so I'm moving them, like 50, one by one | 08:53 |
| Jonta | Does it work in CLI? | 08:53 |
| gofio | question is what will take longer, finish the 50 files one by one or ask here | 08:54 |
| gofio | Jonta: the 50 files? | 08:54 |
| Jonta | Yes | 08:55 |
| gofio | Jonta: I'm on a desktop, seriously do I have to use the command line for this? | 08:56 |
| Jonta | I don't know. It seems weird that you'd only be allowed to move one file at a time | 08:56 |
| Jonta | My guess is you're not that familiar with the command line? :) | 08:56 |
| Tankburn | yeah you can usually do a control + a to select all just like you can in Windows | 08:57 |
| Tankburn | with most file browsers | 08:57 |
| gofio | what a great move by windows | 08:57 |
| Tankburn | hmmm I think you misunderstood me | 08:58 |
| Tankburn | I use the default file manager in Ubuntu and it worked fine | 08:59 |
| gofio | k, already found by myself. Thanks :) | 08:59 |
| Tankburn | no worries :) | 08:59 |
| elias_a | Jonta: Open the folder, select all files by pressing CTRL-A, use 2nd mousebutton to open menu and select Move to (or whatever it is called in English UI) ... | 08:59 |
| elias_a | Sorry - that was for gofio... | 09:00 |
| Tankburn | can you still get wine for Ubuntu 18.04? | 09:00 |
| gofio | and yes, it can be done. No CLI. Thanks good | 09:01 |
| Jonta | gofio: How did you do it? | 09:01 |
| gofio | elias_a: had in detail-list form whatever the word in engish, my system is in spanish, and could not do that that way | 09:02 |
| gofio | Jonta: honestly could not really tell for sure | 09:02 |
| Jonta | Hm. Well. I'd recommend getting at least some familiarity with the commandline. It's scary at first, but you can get the basics rather quickly | 09:03 |
| gofio | Jonta: not familiar with cli nor ubuntu and linux altogether | 09:03 |
| Jonta | No time like the present :) | 09:04 |
| gofio | that's what it is | 09:04 |
| Lachezar | Hey all. I am trying to VSync on my laptop, having Intel HD 620. | 09:05 |
| gofio | when was on ubuntu 17.10 if I left the samsung android plugged, the system would not reboot. Looks like it's an old story | 09:06 |
| Jonta | Lachezar: What happens? | 09:06 |
| Lachezar | Jonta: Nothing yet. I don't know how to do that. | 09:07 |
| Lachezar | To start with: I have no xorg.conf at all... | 09:08 |
| Jonta | Hm. Don't you just need to create one in that case? | 09:08 |
| Lachezar | Jonta: My experience with putting xorg.conf is that a blank one would just not boot. Or that I'll need to have two confs to switch when I want to use the 3D Accelerator... | 09:10 |
| Lachezar | Jonta: So I'd like to avoid generating one, and if possible supply 'hints' or some equivalent technique, to add a "Option" "TearFree" to the i915 driver (somehow). | 09:11 |
| Jonta | Aren't there example xorg.confs available? Or something that generates it? Or you could create a blank one, reboot, and if that doesn't work, remove it from tty. If you're familiar with tty | 09:12 |
| Lachezar | Jonta: Yeah, if I put a blank xorg.conf, it won't boot Graphics, and I have to remove it (from Recovery). | 09:13 |
| Jonta | One of the 1st options then | 09:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Jonta Lachezar if its not a special case, you should not have to config xorg anymore these days to make graphics work | 09:14 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: That's what I was thinking, but I have tearing, and would like to enable VSync. | 09:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: ubuntu version? graphic card chipset and driver version please? | 09:15 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: Scrolling in Firefox for instance is unghly. | 09:15 |
| Lachezar | Xubuntu 19.04, Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02) + NVIDIA Corporation GM108GLM [Quadro M520 Mobile] (rev a2) | 09:16 |
| Lachezar | Also external HDMI monitor. | 09:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: check ubuntu-drivers list, to see wich drivers available please | 09:18 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: There are nvidia-driver-390 and nvidia-driver-418, but I'd rather not. | 09:19 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: 'ubuntu-drivers list --free-only' is empty | 09:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: ok, now check: sudo lshw -C video if driver= at bottom is loaded? | 09:19 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: No driver lines | 09:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: if ontop your card says unclaimed, it means no driver is loaded correctly, hence the tearing | 09:21 |
| Lachezar | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mb3HsCT4BP/ | 09:21 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: ok, try to install the 390 please | 09:21 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: (if) apt spits out errors, please pastebin the whole output before reboot | 09:22 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: Ah. No. No more nvidia drivers please. Want to keep using free drivers. I'm sick of that nvidia shyte. | 09:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: do you know if your card is an optimus? | 09:22 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: I'm pretty sure it is not in this laptop "Lenovo P51s" | 09:23 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: I'd like to keep running the Intel chip only. | 09:24 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: seems it is, FeaturesOptimus | 09:24 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: My previous T530 had Optimus options in the BIOS, this one does not. | 09:25 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: so for optimus cards its reccomended you install the nvidia driver, so you can start switching from performance mode(nvidia) to powersaving mode(intel) | 09:26 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: If I see that properly I could switch to UMA Mode (whatever that means) to turn the NVidia off. | 09:26 |
| * Lachezar is going to reboot. Be back. | 09:27 | |
| * Lachezar waves back | 09:32 | |
| Lachezar | No success. This model does not seem to have a way to disable the NVidia GPU | 09:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: what did you do exactly? | 09:33 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: Reboot, enter BIOS, check for Optimus or UMA options. Found none. | 09:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: you did not listen to what i said | 09:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: optimus cards need the nvidia driver installed to be able to switch cards | 09:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: and even if you dont want to install nvidia, your card is unclaimed, meaning also nouveau is not active | 09:35 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: T530 had a BIOS option to switch to either one from BIOS, not from driver. | 09:36 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: Yes, No nouveau, No nvidia drivers. | 09:36 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: are you choosing to not use any drivers? | 09:36 |
| Lachezar | I don't want to switch to nVidia. I want to turn the nVidia off if possible. | 09:36 |
| Lachezar | I want to keep using intel's GPU-on-CPU | 09:37 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: to use intel, you need to install the nvidia driver first | 09:37 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: Hopefuly no. 'Cause I *am* running without nVidia drivers *NOW*. And I'd like to keep those off my laptop. | 09:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: ok..good luck | 09:39 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: I *do* have xserver-xorg-video-nouveau installed, but it's... Eh... Sub-par. | 09:39 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: I'd like to know if there is a way to supply an "Options" line to the i915 driver. | 09:40 |
| Lachezar | lotuspsychje: hopefully without needing to completely write a xorg.conf | 09:41 |
| Lachezar | If not, then I'll keep working with screen tearing, regrettable, but better than the alternative. | 09:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: please dont use this channel to rant | 09:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Lachezar: only ubuntu support questions | 09:42 |
| Lachezar | No rant. Just a question: How do I add the "Option" "TearFree" to xorg.conf without a full-blown xorg.conf. | 09:43 |
| Lachezar | Like... Can I create a xorg.conf.d/intel-tear-free.conf ot something of the sort? | 09:44 |
| TJ- | Lachezar: does "xrandr --verbose" or "xrandr --listproviders" give any insight - usually on these low/high power GPU configs one of them is the port driver | 09:44 |
| TJ- | Lachezar: you can add fragments into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.f/ | 09:44 |
| TJ- | Lachezar: see "man xorg.conf" | 09:45 |
| TJ- | grrr, typo. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 09:45 |
| Lachezar | TJ-: "xrandr --verbose" gives mode sets for both screens (Laptop LCD and the HDMI monitor) | 09:47 |
| AssociateX | Are there any humans here? | 09:47 |
| Lachezar | TJ-: "xrandr --listproviders" seems to point to one provider "name:modesetting" | 09:47 |
| AssociateX | I'm having trouble with grub and or uefi and booting. | 09:47 |
| TJ- | Lachezar: OK, no help there then | 09:48 |
| TJ- | !ask | AssociateX | 09:48 |
| ubottu | AssociateX: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 09:48 |
| AssociateX | TJ-: I did ask to ask a question. | 09:49 |
| AssociateX | not* | 09:49 |
| lotuspsychje | AssociateX: elaborate 'trouble' please | 09:49 |

| TJ- | Lachezar: could be, check with "grep -rn nouveau /etc/modprobe.d/" - maybe there's a blacklist | 09:52 |
| Lachezar | TJ-: blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf:blacklist nouveau | 09:53 |
| lotuspsychje | AssociateX: your system is not up to date, did your install work before? when did your system stop to boot? what did you do? | 09:54 |

| AssociateX | lotuspsychje: yes, it did work before. | 09:54 |
| lotuspsychje | !nomodeset | AssociateX try this to get in | 09:54 |

| AssociateX | thank you | 09:55 |
| lotuspsychje | AssociateX: your GTX card shows nouveau loaded, its reccomended to use an nvidia driver from the ubuntu graphics ppa | 09:55 |

| nikolam | All using static IPs.. | 10:24 |
| blackflow | nikolam: how is the network configured? netplan? NM? networkd? | 10:26 |
| nikolam | What also connection priority of "-999" means? Connectiong automatically with priority 0" is iset on working wireless.. | 10:26 |
| nikolam | blackflow, using GUI Network connections in Xubuntu 18.10 | 10:26 |
| piraye | lotuspsychje, I dont understand should I remove all software I have | 10:29 |
| Sveta | piraye: this should not happen | 10:29 |
| Sveta | piraye: what error message do you get? | 10:29 |
| piraye | https://paste2.org/2ch66vJv | 10:30 |
| Sveta | piraye: did you add a third-party repository for ubuntu toolchain? | 10:31 |
| piraye | I dont understand how to cleanout the system form external ppa's &its packages | 10:31 |
| blackflow | nikolam: oh xubuntu... is that NetworkManager? Anyway, what I was aiming at, it should be automatic. Checked journal for any hints as to why the network wouldn't restart? | 10:31 |
| Sveta | piraye: it is specified in a file | 10:31 |
| piraye | sveta, yes I did | 10:31 |
| Sveta | piraye: in /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:31 |
| Sveta | piraye: and in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 10:31 |
| piraye | I dont remember | 10:31 |
| Sveta | piraye: you can edit these files and remove the ubuntu toolchain lines | 10:32 |
| piraye | please give me whole comand to remove them | 10:32 |
| piraye | *command | 10:32 |
| Sveta | piraye: grep -ir toolchain /etc/apt/sources* | 10:32 |
| Sveta | piraye: this will show you which files you need to edit | 10:33 |
| TJ- | nikolam: sounds like an ACPI suspend issue; possibly the NIC's phy layer hasn't beee awakened | 10:33 |
| piraye | grep -ir toolchain /etc/apt/sources* | 10:33 |
| piraye | grep -ir toolchain /etc/apt/sources* | 10:33 |
| piraye | then | 10:33 |
| TJ- | !ppa-purge | piraye | 10:34 |
| Sveta | piraye: yes, this command goes to your terminal | 10:34 |
| ubottu | piraye: 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 | 10:34 |
| Sveta | TJ-: do you want to take over this conversation? | 10:34 |
| TJ- | Sveta: can do - you get some sleep :) | 10:34 |
| piraye | Sveta, I did | 10:34 |
| piraye | and give me the files | 10:34 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 10:34 |
| Sveta | piraye: TJ- will help you | 10:34 |
| Sveta | piraye: I will leave, and TJ- will assist you from now on | 10:34 |
| piraye | ok | 10:35 |
| Sveta | TJ-: thank you | 10:35 |
| piraye | TJ! | 10:35 |
| Sveta | piraye: TJ- wants you to use a ppa-purge command instead of editing the file by hand | 10:35 |
| Sveta | piraye: see what ubottu said | 10:35 |
| piraye | https://paste2.org/3Ickx6U4 | 10:35 |
| piraye | here whta I get | 10:35 |
| Sveta | piraye: the first thing is "sudo apt install ppa-purge" | 10:37 |
| Sveta | TJ-: can you please come? | 10:37 |
| piraye | it is already new version | 10:37 |
| Sveta | piraye: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test/ubuntu | 10:37 |
| Sveta | piraye: try this. I am not an expert in this command, but it is my first guess | 10:37 |
| Sveta | TJ-: it is real time chat, they are waiting for your help | 10:38 |
| TJ- | piraye: please read and digest the instructions provided rather than firing off lots of messages; | 10:38 |
| nikolam | TJ-, one modprobe -r sky2 and modprobe sky2 bring both LAN adapter back pnline, configured. So yes, Suspend problem | 10:38 |
| piraye | Sveta, I run the first command | 10:38 |
| nikolam | Should I report it upon existing 18.10 or see first how it behaves on 19.04 and testing upon standby? | 10:39 |
| Sveta | piraye: then you can try the second one now | 10:39 |
| piraye | Sveta, Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: ubuntu-toolchain-r/test ubuntu | 10:39 |
| TJ- | nikolam: there's a workaround that could prevent that in the future. Read https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 10:39 |
| Sveta | piraye: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test | 10:39 |
| Sveta | piraye: does that work? | 10:39 |
| Sveta | piraye: you can ask TJ- what is the second command, I am not 100% sure about it | 10:39 |
| nikolam | It is Marvell Yukon 88E8053 | 10:39 |
| TJ- | piraye: try "sudo ppa-purge ubuntu-toolchain-r/test " | 10:40 |
| nikolam | Thanks TJ- | 10:40 |
| piraye | ok, working now not finished yet | 10:40 |
| Sveta | o/ | 10:40 |
| piraye | ok, this sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test worked | 10:42 |
| piraye | what second command should be? | 10:42 |
| TJ- | piraye: let me read back; not sure where your issue started! | 10:43 |
| piraye | after run sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test and then this last msj PPA purged successfully | 10:44 |
| TJ- | piraye: ahh, so the original problem was your PC was unable to connect to the PPA server (connection timed out) so now you've removed that PPA, so "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" | 10:44 |
| piraye | but when I run grep -ir toolchain /etc/apt/sources* again | 10:44 |
| piraye | seems they are still there | 10:44 |
| piraye | https://paste2.org/AaHx1ZUA | 10:45 |
| TJ- | piraye: both lines are commented out - they start with a # so will not be used | 10:45 |
| piraye | ok | 10:45 |
| piraye | I am running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade | 10:46 |
| piraye | TJ, please keep around because this will take time to finish | 10:46 |
| piraye | it is finished | 10:47 |
| piraye | now what should I do nex | 10:47 |
| piraye | *next | 10:47 |
| piraye | TJ- | 10:47 |
| TJ- | piraye: that is it, the "sudo apt upgrade" will bring the system up to date | 10:47 |
| piraye | I need upgrade into 18.04 | 10:48 |
| TJ- | piraye: so now you want to do a release upgrade? OK: "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 10:48 |
| piraye | TJ-, it is running now | 10:50 |
| coconut | TJ-: do all packages get downloaded first before installing them with an "do-release-upgrade"? | 11:16 |
| piraye | Hi TJ-, I got disc problem, so the the installation aborted | 11:30 |
| lotuspsychje | piraye: pastebin please | 11:31 |
| piraye | https://paste2.org/K8yAxtkD | 11:31 |
| Sveta | not enough free disk space | 11:31 |
| Yatekii | hey folks | 11:32 |
| Yatekii | is there any way I can use packages that are not available in 19.04? | 11:33 |
| lotuspsychje | !mix | Yatekii | 11:33 |
| ubottu | Yatekii: it is usually a very bad idea to mix packages from different releases (or Linux distributions), and it is completely unsupported | 11:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Yatekii: wich package do you have in mind? | 11:33 |
| piraye | Sveta, after free files from my computer, should I repeat the installation | 11:33 |
| Sveta | yes, you need an extra 3.325 MB - but if you can free more it is even better | 11:34 |
| === simputer_ is now known as simputer | ||
| Yatekii | lotuspsychje: yeah, luckily idc :P I am sure there is not suddenly major changes and unfortunately I need to run this garbo software (SimplicityStudio from SiLabs) ^^ | 11:35 |
| Yatekii | lotuspsychje: Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package. this is my problem atm | 11:35 |
| Yatekii | I had the same with lib32ncurses5 but I just changed that to using version 6 ... we'll see if it works | 11:35 |
| Yatekii | sadly that piece of s software is using eclipse 9 as a base ... I mean yeah ^^ | 11:35 |
| piraye | please how can I check current disc space? | 11:37 |
| coconut | piraye: df or df -h | 11:38 |
| Sveta | it is 3.325 MB extra, in total you will need at least 4.462 MB | 11:39 |
| Sveta | I am heading out now, I hope TJ- or someone else is still around | 11:40 |
| AmaranthRevenge | dumb question. all my desktop items have disappeared. I can still access them through the desktop folder. Any idea how to make them reappear? | 11:53 |
| ioria | usually it means (on 18.04) that nautilus-desktop is dead | 11:55 |
| AmaranthRevenge | any idea how to fix that? | 11:57 |
| TJ- | AmaranthRevenge: if you're on a recent release, Gnome removed the desktop from nautilus | 11:57 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, what release ? | 11:57 |
| AmaranthRevenge | 18.04 | 11:57 |
| AmaranthRevenge | 18.04.2 LTS | 11:58 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, run from terminal nautilus-desktop | 11:58 |
| AmaranthRevenge | ok, did that | 11:58 |
| AmaranthRevenge | yeah nothing happened | 11:59 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, or open gnome-tweaks -> Desktop -> show icons | 11:59 |
| AmaranthRevenge | still nothing... hmm.... | 12:00 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, then you did sometning unsuall | 12:01 |
| AmaranthRevenge | I know, but I have no idea | 12:01 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, restart gnome-shell, ot login out /in | 12:01 |
| AmaranthRevenge | restarted gnome-shell and still nothing... | 12:03 |
| AmaranthRevenge | I am thoroughly confused | 12:03 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, maybe you removed nautilus | 12:03 |
| AmaranthRevenge | when I ran nautilus-desktop it didn't give me an error. Just nothing happened | 12:04 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, did you replace that with another file manager ? | 12:04 |
| AmaranthRevenge | I don't think so. I don't usually mess with that part | 12:05 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, is there anything in ~/Desktop ? | 12:05 |
| AmaranthRevenge | yes all the files are there | 12:05 |
| AmaranthRevenge | nothing is missing. | 12:06 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, paste ps -A | grep naut | 12:06 |
| AmaranthRevenge | got this: 2288 tty1 00:00:07 nautilus-deskto | 12:06 |
| AmaranthRevenge | it is not a huge deal but a bit weird to not be able to click from desktop. I can drag file to desktop and it will copy there. Can see the files in the folder just not on the desktop | 12:08 |
| ioria | AmaranthRevenge, log out /in | 12:09 |

| piraye | is this will take too much time like last upgrade | 16:25 |
| ioria | piraye, only 6 pkgs | 16:25 |
| ioria | piraye, don't you see ? | 16:26 |

| piraye | ok, done | 16:27 |
| piraye | I can restart now | 16:27 |
| gallomimia | my system has always had weird caveats while booting. but this latest one is extra weird. ubuntu 19.04, clean install on a different drive than usual. it won't proceed with the GUI section of the booting until i press ctrl-alt F# and then ctrl-alt-F1 | 16:27 |
| lotuspsychje | piraye: did you make a backup of your data? | 16:28 |
| ioria | piraye, if you want to reinstall those pkgs : sudo apt install libc6-dev-armel-cross libc6-dev-armhf-cross | 16:28 |
| gallomimia | .... does ubuntu desktop run out-of-the-box on pi's now? | 16:28 |
| piraye | no I did not backup my data, are they going to deleted | 16:28 |
| piraye | ioria, what should I do now | 16:29 |
| lotuspsychje | piraye: you had problems before upgrade, problems during upgrade, no space left during upgrade and problems after upgrade, its adviced to backup data | 16:29 |
| gallomimia | yeah | 16:30 |
| gallomimia | back it up dude | 16:30 |
| piraye | lotuspsychje, ok | 16:30 |
| mouses | also have backups, and a backup of your backup | 16:30 |
| mouses | :) | 16:30 |
| ioria | piraye, try to install something, and be sure apt is up and working | 16:30 |
| gallomimia | if it wasn't backed up, i guess it wasn't that important to you | 16:30 |
| ioria | piraye, no erors, no warnings ... etc. etc | 16:30 |
| === drivero is now known as dirac1 | ||
| piraye | ioria, ok | 16:31 |
| tomreyn | hellerz: i think there's also #znc in case you can't work it out here. it may be too specific for #ubuntu | 16:32 |
| gallomimia | if you had a bunch of problems doing a big upgrade, it could be a good idea to run a grub update. make sure your initrd is real and works before booting | 16:32 |
| hellerz | tomreyn thank you | 16:32 |
| ioria | TJ-, thanx for the link | 16:32 |
| tomreyn | piraye: be sure to sudo apt -f install && sudo apt full-upgrade before you reboot. | 16:33 |
| tomreyn | piraye: and you always need to have backups, generally. and it's advisable to trigger a backup run both before and after upgrading. | 16:34 |
| piraye | ok tomreyn | 16:35 |
| piraye | ok, now I can reboot | 16:36 |
| piraye | I will talk you after reboot | 16:37 |
| tomreyn | piraye: here's a script that can help you identify more package dependency issues lurking under the hood in apt - i usually recommend running this both before and after release upgrades (and acting upon the output): https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages | 16:37 |
| piraye | tomreyn, | 16:39 |
| piraye | should I run all these in that site before reboot | 16:40 |
| tomreyn | piraye: no, just the "foreign_packages" script, and only if you feel comfortable with it. | 16:40 |
| tomreyn | piraye: i wrote this, you shoould not trust me, you should review the code before you run it. | 16:41 |
| piraye | sudo ./foreign_packages | 16:41 |
| piraye | this one | 16:41 |
| tomreyn | right | 16:41 |
| gallomimia | piraye, running a script off the internet with admin permissions can be very dangerous | 16:41 |
| piraye | I am not going to run it then | 16:41 |
| gallomimia | you just ran lots of things with admin permissions without really giving it much thought | 16:42 |
| piraye | I am confused, I am using sudo to run it | 16:43 |
| piraye | not as root | 16:43 |
| gallomimia | the lesson here is to slow down and consider the consequences of every command you give your system, before pressing enter. not to forgo good advice. | 16:43 |
| gallomimia | sudo makes things happen as root | 16:43 |
| OerHeks | gallomimia, how helpfull. | 16:43 |
| piraye | yes | 16:43 |
| gallomimia | super-user-do | 16:43 |

| tomreyn | Jackneill: thanks for the notice, i just suscribed to this bug report now. | 17:09 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: did you test what i discussed in comment #14 ? | 17:10 |
| tomreyn | oh you say you did test part of it, ok | 17:10 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, i stopped with 101, since #24 wont help me with no hwmatch | 17:11 |
| Jackneill | i dont know why its missing, or how to get it back | 17:11 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: is the system full yupdated? once it is, can you install grub manually? maybe this will remove the "hwmatch" message. it's well possible this message is actually benign, though. | 17:14 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, what do you mean exactly by reinstalling it manually? | 17:16 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: sudo grub-install | 17:16 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, no need for boot iso, etc? | 17:17 |
| Jackneill | or a console, just in terminal? | 17:17 |
| === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner | ||
| tomreyn | Jackneill: once your system booted up fine (my understanding is it can do this occasionally but not always), just run this in a terminal after ensuring it is fully up to date (sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade) | 17:18 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, right | 17:18 |
| tomreyn | whether you run this in a terminal window or a TTY does not matter. | 17:18 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, 'installion finisghed, no error reported" | 17:18 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: so the system was fully updated beforehand? | 17:19 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, hwmatch remains in 10_linux, and still not exists in /boot.. | 17:19 |
| TJ- | tomreyn: Jackneill "hwmatch" is a patch added to GRUB by Ubuntu, and is only for grub-pc (i386) so if booting UEFI mode this will not be found | 17:20 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, yes it was | 17:22 |
| TJ- | So you can ignore the hwmatch error | 17:22 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, i see, in which case i can only think of the acpi_osi thing | 17:22 |
| Jackneill | as a last resort | 17:23 |
| Jackneill | that could cause this | 17:23 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: are you using acpi_osi= currently? | 17:23 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, no. and it works non-deterministically as in sometimes yes, sometimes no, a bit more to the no | 17:23 |
| tomreyn | did you try a mainline kernel, yet? | 17:23 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: I'd definitely try acpi_osi as recommended in my article | 17:24 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, as in a fresher one that is provided by ubuntu? | 17:24 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, right | 17:25 |
| tomreyn | !mainline | Jackneill | 17:25 |
| ubottu | Jackneill: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 17:25 |
| mouses | hi all, having a heck of a time here. Need to get oidentd up to 2.3.2+ - running 18.04 on my server, snagged oidentd_2.3.2-1_amd64.deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oidentd (under disco dingo) -> when doing a dpkg -i on it, I am stuck here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/B5vmKNfwxh/ | 17:26 |
| mouses | anyone able to help a mouses out a bit? | 17:26 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: something else that might help in diagnosis: "earlyprintk=efi,keep" in conjunction with GRUBs terminal console mode, to get early kernel messages | 17:26 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, is there an easy==lazy way of doing it? | 17:26 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: since it really seems mainboard firmware related, acpi_osi is more promising. | 17:26 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: no, we're beyond the easy approaches now. | 17:27 |
| Jackneill | :( | 17:27 |
| tomreyn | well it's still easy enough, you don't need to build any software | 17:27 |
| TJ- | mouses: not a good idea; the dependency versions in 19.04 are higher, as you see. There's a reason we package the archives so everything works together | 17:27 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, just edit | 17:27 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: see https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 17:28 |
| mouses | TJ-: Yeah, running out of options - just need to get that modern oidentd running - any solution to doing this? | 17:29 |
| TJ- | mouses: install/run it in a mimimal chroot or container | 17:29 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, export GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX earlyprintk=efi,keep" ; sudo uőpdate-grub? | 17:29 |
| mouses | TJ-: Ugh, that's a PITA | 17:29 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: errr, no, I don't think that'll work | 17:30 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, then how? | 17:30 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: read my instructions | 17:30 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, grub_terminal=console is set, but its says its grub-pc only | 17:32 |
| Jackneill | as far as i am aware, i am booting in efi mode | 17:33 |
| mouses | TJ-: driving me nuts. A friend also on 18.04 snagged that exact same package, installed via dkpg -i -- no errors. Can't figure out why I'm special :P | 17:33 |
| Jackneill | ,/boot hierarchy seems to say to too | 17:33 |
| Jackneill | but it successfully worked | 17:33 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: hmmm, there's a newer option for that now I recall, possibly tomreyn can recall it | 17:33 |
| tomreyn | TJ-: there's "console" as an initrd option but i'm not sure you mean this? | 17:34 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: ahhh "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" | 17:35 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, TJ- : the only line i got with earlyprintk is 'Memory KASLR using RDRAND RDTSC...' | 17:35 |
| Jackneill | whats text and keep? | 17:36 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: and did the system hang? | 17:36 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, yes. | 17:36 |
| tomreyn | text=text-only, non-graphical boot. | 17:36 |
| thunor | hi | 17:36 |

| mbeierl | Dumb question: I have Ubuntu 18.04 inside a lab, pointed to a lab DNS server. When I use nslookup, or host, the hostname gets looked up and the IP address returned. If I use ping, I get host not found. Watching tcpdump, I see DNS lookup packets when using nslookup, but ping does not generate any DNS lookup. How can I get ping (and other commands) to use DNS? | 17:37 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: OK, I think you'd hit a regression that we know affects some models due to the recent Intel MDS problems | 17:37 |
| tomreyn | TJ-: are you aware of a bug report on this? | 17:38 |
| hgk | we are giving certain dependencies under RUN directive such as apt-get install libssl-dev , but on trying to build the image, I keep getting following error | 17:38 |

| tomreyn | so "mds=off" would be equivalent to "nomds" | 17:42 |
| Jackneill | TJ-, havent tried that yet, just add, its also possbile it hangs with no text on screen | 17:42 |
| Jackneill | event with that earlyprintk | 17:43 |
| TJ- | Jackneill: try with "mds=off" to determine if the issue is with the kernel's MDS mitigatios; there's an option tha stops the microcode being loaded too but haven't found it yet - was sure it was in that bug report somewhere | 17:44 |
| sentiment | whenever I play an HD mkv vid using VLC or totem or whatever, the gpu gets super hot until the the machine shuts down | 17:44 |

| Jackneill | kernel msgs | 17:48 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: so you're saying it is now very very slow to boot? | 17:49 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: which changes did you make, which options did you set now? | 17:50 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, yes, but i didnt set nodms yet | 17:50 |

| Led_Zeppelin | like get the higest resolution possible | 17:50 |
| Jackneill | so i guess a kernel feature to see the msgs? | 17:50 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: wasn't "quiet" already removed? | 17:51 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: i was thinking we had sugggested this before. | 17:51 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, i had removed before to test, but it was from grub 'e' | 17:52 |
| tomreyn | ok, you may want to remove "quiet" and "splash" off /etc/default/grub generally until this is solved. | 17:53 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, did that, also added nomds now | 17:53 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: don't forget to sudo update-grub | 17:54 |

| Jackneill | tomreyn, once it boots up | 17:58 |
| sentiment | tomreyn: any idea on where can I start troubleshooting the hd vid issue? | 17:59 |
| mbeierl | tomreyn: that works. From tcpdump, I see it's using mDNS. I think the problem is this lab is set up with .corp.local as the domain | 17:59 |
| sentiment | I might be able to handle it myself if I get a clue on the start point | 17:59 |
| sentiment | the drivers I believe are the latest | 18:00 |
| mbeierl | and so I don't know how to tell resolved not to use mDNS, but use DNS for those lookup, I think? | 18:00 |

| sentiment | using the radeon driver | 18:03 |
| tomreyn | sentiment: run "dmesg -w" before you start video playback, see if it outputs anything possibly related. you can ctrl-c to exit it at any time. | 18:05 |
| tomreyn | sentiment: also reviewing the full system log (journalctl -b or /var/log/syslog) may help, looking for X / radeon / mesa issues, ACPI issues | 18:07 |

| arooni | can i get unattended updates to work for things that arent secruity updates? | 18:08 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, yes | 18:08 |
| tds | mbeierl: the answer is to stop abusing .local | 18:09 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: hmm, that's way too long. | 18:09 |
| mbeierl | tds: unfortunately this is not my lab. so while I would love to do so, I can't. | 18:09 |
| Jackneill | tomreyn, its almost if not a sec for every line | 18:09 |
| Jackneill | to be updated (the 'refresher line' going from top to bottom") | 18:10 |
| tds | mbeierl: does `systemd-resolve --status` show mdns as being enabled? if so you could probably persuade it to be disabled through your netplan/network-manager/networkd config | 18:10 |
| mbeierl | tds: odd - it shows multicastDNS as no. | 18:11 |
| trupsalms | i believe my ip of my znc server was banned during a ddos, on my cloud server which kept it login on and off, is there anywhere i can get support for unban | 18:11 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: i see, so it's realyl the super slow graphics slowing down the boot there | 18:11 |
| mbeierl | tds but yet, I still see MDNS packets going out in tcpdump. | 18:11 |
| tds | mbeierl: oh, and it worked when you used `systemd-resolve` manually? | 18:11 |
| tds | check /etc/nsswitch.conf if so | 18:11 |
| mbeierl | tds: yes, manually it does, but ping, wget, etc, all still cause MDNS packets. | 18:12 |
| mbeierl | tds: systemd-resolve shows response via DNS. I am now officially confused. | 18:13 |
| tds | mbeierl: what about /etc/nsswitch.conf as I mentioned, what's on the hosts: line? | 18:13 |
| mbeierl | sorry - was still getting to that, and yes, mdns is there. Changing it now | 18:14 |
| tds | cool | 18:14 |
| mbeierl | tds: yes, that is it - put dns ahead of the others and finally it works | 18:15 |
| tds | mbeierl: on a system using systemd-resolved you'd normally want resolve before dns | 18:16 |
| mbeierl | tds: thank you!! I completely forgot about nsswitch.conf. I think that part of my brain got purged when I stopped using NIS | 18:16 |
| tds | that way applications will query resolved directly over dbus rather than talking udp/tcp to the stub resolver on 127.0.0.53 | 18:16 |
| mbeierl | tds, sorry, it's files dns now | 18:16 |
| badhobbit | I'm testing out the latest ubuntu on my laptop and having wifi adapter detection issues. Does ubuntu do a more thorough hardware detection on a full install compared to a live install on a thumb drive? | 18:21 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: it's like the device needs either a) a more recent kernel version or b) a proprietary driver | 18:22 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: can you open a terminal and run some commands so we can find out what the device is? | 18:23 |
| badhobbit | I can give it a shot. as best I can recall, I ran into this problem when I installed ubuntu last time. But that was when the last stable release dropped so it's been a LONG time | 18:24 |
| badhobbit | I have it working on the outdated install, and I thought that once it was fully installed on the hard drive it was easier to configure | 18:24 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal, then "sudo apt install pastebinit" so we can capture output to a pastebin, then do "pastebinit <( uname -a; lspci -nnk -d ::0280; lsusb; ls /sys/class/net/ )" | 18:25 |

| lordcirth | piraye, install 'xev', run it, and right-click on it. Does it show a right-click event | 18:29 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: that shows is the device is Broadcom, and the driver is "wl" and the device is "wlp2s0", so at least something is trying to manage it. However, it is possible the alternate 'bcma' driver is better. I'll do some digging | 18:29 |

| lordcirth | piraye, ah, sorry, the package is "x11-utils" | 18:31 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: before I do that though, lets collect some more data about what the device can do: " pastebinit <( iwconfig; iw list ; sudo iwlist wlp2s0 scan ) " | 18:32 |
| badhobbit | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Jf4yw9fjTk/ | 18:32 |
| piraye | lordcirth, it say already new version | 18:33 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: that shows us the PC is connected to the Access Point and has a good signal | 18:33 |
| lordcirth | piraye, then go ahead and run it | 18:33 |
| piraye | how | 18:34 |
| jeremy31 | badhobbit: cat /etc/lsb-release | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:34 |
| lordcirth | piraye, 'xev' | 18:34 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: So, what problem are you having with it? | 18:34 |
| piraye | from where should I run it | 18:34 |
| badhobbit | I'm currently running on the old install, which has wifi configured. When I fire up a new USB stick with the latest ubuntu, I can't seem to detect the device | 18:34 |
| piraye | lordcirth, | 18:35 |
| lordcirth | piraye, in a terminal, same as everything else | 18:35 |
| badhobbit | I'm pretty rusty and cant remember the right command lines to get it set up. and I've never been good with the gui | 18:35 |
| piraye | I dont know how to run it | 18:35 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: ahhh, which ubuntu release is on the USB? | 18:35 |
| jeremy31 | badhobbit: use the driver manager to install bcmwl-kernel-source | 18:35 |
| badhobbit | I've tried ubuntu 19.04 and mint 19.1 with the same results | 18:36 |
| TJ- | jeremy31: is that *on* the LiveISO installer? | 18:36 |
| lordcirth | piraye, you type 'xev' and press Enter. | 18:36 |
| badhobbit | jeremy31, one second and I'll be caught up | 18:36 |
| piraye | yes I did | 18:36 |
| jeremy31 | TJ-: It should be, all needed files are in /pool | 18:36 |
| badhobbit | I may have to dig out a cat5 cable and apt-get whatever is needed to make it work | 18:36 |
| lordcirth | piraye, and you should get a white window? | 18:36 |
| piraye | lordcirth, still running | 18:36 |
| jeremy31 | badhobbit: Install Ubuntu with third party software enabled | 18:37 |
| piraye | I get white window | 18:37 |
| piraye | what should I do now | 18:37 |
| lordcirth | piraye, move your mouse over the window, hold it still, and right-click a few times | 18:37 |
| jeremy31 | badhobbit: If you have the ISO, it can install from it | 18:37 |
| badhobbit | I was hoping to test it out before wiping out my current install to verify functionality, lol | 18:37 |
| lordcirth | piraye, Do you then see ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events going by? | 18:37 |
| TJ- | jeremy31: I don't see it in the manifest | 18:38 |
| badhobbit | I'm 99% sure it'll get sorted out but it's my only physical computer that works right now | 18:38 |
| badhobbit | https://termbin.com/aczj | 18:38 |
| TJ- | jeremy31: and the only thing in pool is /pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcutter_019-4_amd64.deb | 18:38 |
| TJ- | jeremy31: oh, apologies, I missed restricted: /pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb | 18:38 |
| TJ- | badhobbit: so as jeremy31 has recommended, once booted to the USB, do "sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source" which *should* install and build the driver for you | 18:39 |
| jeremy31 | or use the driver manager in Software & Updates | 18:40 |
| badhobbit | ok thanks I'll give that a shot | 18:40 |
| piraye | lordcirth, | 18:40 |
| badhobbit | I'll be back in a bit then. | 18:41 |
| piraye | I did what you said me but I didnot see ButtonPress and ButtonRelease | 18:41 |
| lordcirth | piraye, ok. So it sounds a lot like your mouse is broken. Try it on another machine? | 18:41 |
| lordcirth | piraye, also, what model is your mouse? | 18:42 |
| piraye | I am not using externial mose | 18:42 |
| piraye | I am using my pc | 18:42 |
| piraye | mose | 18:43 |
| piraye | lordcirth, I am using tracpad | 18:44 |
| lordcirth | piraye, ok, you should have said that earlier, but I should have asked earlier. You might just need to change settings. Search for "mouse" in settings. | 18:47 |
| skomorokh | Just upgraded to 19.04 (I like to give it a month), went smoothly except one thing and I wonder if any of you ran into this---Firefox refuses to use my profile saying that I'm running an older version and it's for my own good that it not try and use it :) But they're both 67... maybe there is some internal build # that is ever so slightly newer on whatever the latest patch was on the cosmic repo or ??? | 18:47 |
| lordcirth | skomorokh, you upgraded from 18.10? Did you have a Firefox PPA installed? | 18:48 |
| skomorokh | Yup, from 18.10. No PPA. | 18:48 |
| lordcirth | skomorokh, and you've done an "apt update; apt full-upgrade" after upgrading? | 18:48 |
| viju | Is next LTA coming in 2020? | 18:49 |
| lordcirth | viju, Next LTS is 20.04, yes | 18:49 |
| viju | In that case, can I just jump to 2020 from 18.04 or do I have to upgrade to versions in between? | 18:49 |
| skomorokh | hm, just my usual apt upgrade and I figure it'd have done a dist-upgrade. I'll try that, was unaware of full-upgrade even existing... | 18:49 |
| lordcirth | viju, upgrading from one LTS to the next is supported. | 18:49 |
| lordcirth | skomorokh, full-upgrade is an alias to dist-upgrade | 18:49 |
| skomorokh | Nope, that had no new updates. | 18:49 |
| viju | Ok thanks lordcirth | 18:49 |
| gambl0re | when people switch os's multiple times are they basically wiping their system and reinstalling all their programs? | 18:50 |
| skomorokh | 67.0+build2-0ubuntu0.19.04.1 in 19.04 vs. 67.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.10.1 in cosmic ...I'm kinda surprised this is happening? | 18:51 |
| gambl0re | i dont understand when people say "i didnt like arch. im going to switch to fedora. i didnt like fedora im going to switch to ubuntu" are they basically reinstalling all of their programs every time they install a new os? what am i missing here? | 18:52 |
| lordcirth | gambl0re, yes, installing from a USB again. | 18:52 |
| badhobbit2 | Thanks guys, that worked | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | Jackneill: i added a suggestion on how to test the kernel options TJ- discussed to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1829402/ | 18:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1829402 in linux (Ubuntu) "Purple screen hangup during boot" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 18:53 |
| gambl0re | so these users dont mind constantly installing their applications? | 18:54 |
| gambl0re | every time they do a new install? | 18:54 |
| lordcirth | gambl0re, it's not that much work. However, #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:54 |
| gambl0re | i guess depending on what you're using your computer for. | 18:55 |
| Casper26 | Anyone with an idea on how to change a string of text in a file that is in multiple directories? | 18:55 |
| lordcirth | Casper26, sed | 18:56 |
| ioria | find + sed | 18:57 |
| Jonta | One file, that is in multiple directories? | 18:59 |
| TJ- | Casper26: "sed -i 's/matchthis/replacewiththis/g' $( grep -rl 'matchthis' )" I'd think | 18:59 |
| Casper26 | yes a game.ini file that is in 500 different games folders | 19:00 |
| TJ- | Casper26: 500? then use grep -rl ... | xargs ... sed ... | 19:00 |
| tomreyn | skomorokh: if the same firefox upstream version on 18.10 and 19.04 would behave differently (reporting profile is outdated one time but nt the other) this would surprise me, too. | 19:00 |
| lordcirth | Casper26, Ah, so use 'find -name game.ini', and if the output looks right, use -exec to call sed | 19:00 |
| tomreyn | skomorokh: are you sure that you actually ran firefox 67 before you upgraded, though? | 19:01 |
| skomorokh | tomreyn: yup, it was only a few days ago that package came down and I recall restarting to ensure my addons were all happy | 19:02 |
| tomreyn | skomorokh: (maybe you ran firefox 66 and while an upgrade was installed at some - rather recent - point, just didn't restart firefox?) | 19:02 |
| tomreyn | i see | 19:02 |
| TJ- | skomorokh: see https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2019/01/14/moving-to-a-profile-per-install-architecture/ | 19:02 |
| skomorokh | well, even if I hadn't, it'd not be the situation that my firefox on 18.10 was _newer_ than on 19.04 which is what it's currently complaining of while refusing to load | 19:03 |
| skomorokh | ugh. | 19:03 |
| lordcirth | skomorokh, do you have Firefox Sync enabled? | 19:05 |
| skomorokh | TJ-: thanks, that's depressing (because sync is sketch) but I wonder how it's relevant in that I presumably would be on the same channel? | 19:05 |
| TJ- | skomorokh: not sure it is relevant, but as you mentioned 67 and profiles, I thought it worth letting you know | 19:06 |
| skomorokh | TJ-: definitely, apprecaited, and I bet you're right and it's somehow entangles | 19:06 |
| skomorokh | s/s/d | 19:06 |
| energizer | something is capturing my control-alt-a keybinding before it even gets to my window manager. what could it be? | 19:12 |
| piraye | hi! | 19:14 |
| Jonta | energizer: How do you know something's capturing it? | 19:15 |
| piraye | please after upgrade of Ubuntu 18.04 on my old ASUS laptop, I found that the touchpad right-click does not work. | 19:15 |
| piraye | please help | 19:15 |
| tomreyn | piraye: what did you upgrade from and to? | 19:16 |
| ioria | piraye, install gnome-tweaks | 19:16 |
| piraye | ok worked now | 19:16 |
| piraye | thanks guys for your help today ^_^ | 19:17 |
| skomorokh | There is an environment variable that let me start it, phew, MOZ_ALLOW_DOWNGRADE=1 if anyone else runs into it. | 19:18 |
| skomorokh | And people have. Apparently TJ- was onto something and whatever their overly complicated version detection mechanism is gets foiled by the privacy.resistFingerprinting setting. moz doesn't trust their own version numbers? | 19:19 |
| skomorokh | https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/brjj82/firefox_67_thinks_its_an_old_version_and_wont/ | 19:19 |
| Casper26 | lordcirth thank you that worked!! | 19:21 |
| lordcirth | Casper26, cool | 19:21 |
| skomorokh | Hm, the resist fingerprinting was a red herring, apparently the package maintainers didn't get the 19.04 prefix into one or the other version number so it was possible for previous releases to have newer versions: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/brjj82/firefox_67_thinks_its_an_old_version_and_wont/eofx4m5?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x | 19:23 |
| energizer | Jonta: i set a hook to log for that binding in my window manager, and it doesn't receive it | 19:24 |
| iyanmv | So noone knows? :S | 20:44 |
| iyanmv | (I copy question again, just in case) Anyone knows if Qt Remote Objects is available in ubuntu repos? | 20:45 |
| lordcirth | iyanmv, it seems like the sort of thing that is in the main qt5 packages somewhere | 20:46 |
| lordcirth | iyanmv, if you know a filename, you can use "apt-file search" | 20:46 |
| gallomimia | sounds like something that would spend some extra time in testing at the security department | 20:46 |
| Bashing-om | iyanmv: Might narrow the search down as I get no return from - apt search "Qt Remote Objects" . | 20:47 |
| iyanmv | I guess I should find something with "apt-file search libqtremoteobjects.so" | 20:49 |
| iyanmv | but I don't | 20:49 |
| iyanmv | It would be quite surprising that this is not in the official repos | 20:50 |
| iyanmv | Also can't find anything with "apt-file search Qt5RemoteObjectsConfig.cmake" | 20:56 |
| gallomimia | what command can i use from the terminal to have it "open" in GUI? | 20:58 |
| gallomimia | don't even know what wm we are using in ubuntu 19.04 | 20:58 |
| gallomimia | it's pretty tho | 20:58 |
| === Thargoid is now known as stwalkerster | ||
| tomreyn | gallomimia: the default window manager of ubuntu 19.04 is mutter, it's graphical shell is gnome-shell | 21:20 |
| sloshy | purged snapd and im using flatpak on ubuntu | 21:24 |
| sloshy | how do you like them apples shitheads | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | sloshy: please watch your language, and stay on topic (support Q&A here only, there are other channels), thanks. | 21:25 |
| amazoniantoad | okay I'm here to help people with their ubuntu computers | 21:31 |
| amazoniantoad | If you need help I will be here for a little while as I am drunk | 21:31 |
| amazoniantoad | So, ask away | 21:31 |
| gallomimia | yep. i'm struggling to understand the layout of my lv's on my volume group inside a luks container | 21:34 |
| gallomimia | i can't find a gui that will show me what order they're in, with any blank spaces | 21:35 |
| amazoniantoad | I can't help with that | 21:35 |
| gallomimia | drat | 21:35 |
| amazoniantoad | sorry | 21:35 |
| gallomimia | yeah. it's one of those subjects one doesn't mess with whilst drunk | 21:35 |
| amazoniantoad | I was thinking of questions that have answers more of like, "turn it off and then on again" | 21:36 |
| gallomimia | muck up one thing..... erase a drive | 21:36 |
| gallomimia | ah. i try not to turn it off. it doesn't always come back on >< | 21:36 |
| amazoniantoad | oh god | 21:36 |
| gallomimia | i have the finnickiest linux system ever | 21:36 |
| amazoniantoad | You could try upgrading to windows 10 | 21:36 |
| amazoniantoad | jk | 21:37 |
| gallomimia | i have never run windows on this system | 21:37 |
| amazoniantoad | So wait explain what your issue is again and I'll actually try to help | 21:38 |
| gallomimia | how can i make myself a file-browser window with root permissions/ | 21:38 |
| amazoniantoad | like explain it | 21:38 |
| gallomimia | well... i have this set of hard drives see.... | 21:38 |
| amazoniantoad | uhuh | 21:38 |
| gallomimia | they got a raid across them. inside the mdadm container, is a luks volume | 21:38 |
| gallomimia | so, crypto | 21:38 |
| gallomimia | and inside that is a lvm container | 21:39 |
| amazoniantoad | okay | 21:39 |
| gallomimia | on that is a series of logical volumes... several old versions of ubuntu, home, data, server, games, and so on | 21:40 |
| gallomimia | i gotta change things a bit. grow some, axe some, make a new one for today's install | 21:40 |
| amazoniantoad | so what's the problem? | 21:41 |
| gallomimia | i'm really struggling to grasp how that looks using only text commands | 21:41 |
| JonHanDin | Does anybody have an efficient 'self destruct' function for ubuntu? My current idea is to either srm the entire thing in an emergency or fork bomb but do you peeps have any better suggestions? | 21:41 |
| gallomimia | dd with /dev/random | 21:41 |
| gallomimia | .... why do you want to self destruct? are you playing Uplink? | 21:42 |
| JonHanDin | gallomimia, for the purposes of not self incriminating lets just says its for fun | 21:43 |
| JonHanDin | gallomimia, in the back of my mind its just a nice thing to know i have. Like wearing a seatbelt i guess | 21:43 |
| JonHanDin | gallomimia, and thank you | 21:44 |
| amazoniantoad | sorry gallomimia i was texting someone let me read what you said | 21:44 |
| gallomimia | yeah. its nice to think about such things in advance | 21:44 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, Well depends on what level you want to self destruct but you could map a key to execute rm ...well you know the rest of the command | 21:45 |
| gallomimia | but let's talk about why i would ask instead of assuming i'm prying. do you need to nuke all your files or just have the system offline itself if its under attack? | 21:45 |
| amazoniantoad | i don't think it's allowed to be typed in here | 21:45 |
| JonHanDin | gallomimia, just one of those things that i never want to be in a position of wishing i had done it earlier. Dont really see a time ill use it but more just incase | 21:45 |
| gallomimia | i like to lean on science fiction when dreaming things up | 21:45 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, thats pretty much always been my idea. Just like to ask you peeps too because of your knowledge | 21:46 |
| gallomimia | in the Ender's Game series, the computer guy adds a modifier key to his log-off key combo that sends a message with a script | 21:46 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, the best thing you can do is run the rm command AND format your HDD 22 times with random data AND melt your CPU by turning off the fan and maxing it out | 21:46 |
| amazoniantoad | and also trying to dump your memory | 21:46 |
| gallomimia | yeah... depends how dead you want things | 21:46 |
| JonHanDin | I was thinking srm with 32 passes. Hadnt considered dumping my memory though. Which is why you people are wonderful! | 21:47 |
| gallomimia | at some point you have to either trust your crypto or attempt an erase. how much time do you think you have? | 21:47 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, You might also want to consider running the OS on a live CD rather than installing it | 21:48 |
| JonHanDin | gallomimia, well this is the question. The entire thing is a hypotetical. may be worth buildign a quick version and a full version | 21:48 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, also consider running qubesOS rather than Ubuntu for additional security | 21:48 |
| tomreyn | gallomimia: sudo lvdisplay --maps | 21:49 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, I do run tails from time to time when its necessary. Wonderful os | 21:49 |
| gallomimia | what kind of thing are you doing this on? some system that you walked along to, hijacked for the use with a live-cd, and ran off? or your own home computer, where you need to remove identifying information | 21:49 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, qubesOS is better than tails | 21:49 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, never uses qubesOS - research time i think | 21:49 |
| amazoniantoad | they have a room here on a freenode | 21:49 |
| amazoniantoad | channel | 21:49 |
| amazoniantoad | I mean | 21:49 |
| JonHanDin | gallomimia, for my personal machine. pretty much everything is encrypted anyway, I guess this was just a prokect idea | 21:50 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, I shall look it up now, thank you | 21:50 |
| tomreyn | JonHanDin: do luks full disk encryption. that's sufficient under jurisdictions which cannot force you to decrypt if you forgot the passphrase. otherwise you can add some software which will destroy the luks header in case you enter a specific decryption key at boot. | 21:50 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, ever hear of a decoy OS? | 21:50 |
| JonHanDin | tomreyn, i like the idea of destroying the header | 21:51 |
| JonHanDin | and amazoniantoad, no i havent. | 21:51 |
| JonHanDin | Lots of research to be don here. As you can probably tell, im not a noob but im MILES off pro | 21:51 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, look up trucrypt decoy OS. veracrypt supports it still | 21:51 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, Thank you for that | 21:52 |
| amazoniantoad | np | 21:52 |
| JonHanDin | thanks to all of you. gonna have a wonderful eveing of research | 21:52 |
| JonHanDin | Is it generally accepted that LUKS is solid? i run a 40+ char key | 21:53 |
| === wymillerlinux_ is now known as wymillerlinux | ||
| tomreyn | it's generally considered to provide the features it is designed to provide in a sufficiently secure manner, assuming you chose one of the strong encryption methods. | 21:56 |
| JonHanDin | tomreyn, I cant really argue with that! Thank you. - I guess for the most part this is just a small project / research opportunity | 21:57 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, for fun, you should install suicide linux on the machine | 21:57 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, Dare i even ask? | 21:57 |
| amazoniantoad | It would destroy the machine if anyone accidentally typed in the wrong argument for any command at command line | 21:58 |
| amazoniantoad | same thing as rm -rf / | 21:58 |
| tomreyn | amazoniantoad: please keep it to ubuntu support here. there's ##linux for other linux distros. | 21:58 |
| amazoniantoad | sorry | 21:58 |
| tomreyn | thanks | 21:58 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, just looked it up. Perhaps, once i'm more confident in my cli ability that actually might be a good idea but i'm prone to a 1/100 error when typing commands. Perhaps that one will be shelved for now | 21:59 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, Thank you none the less | 21:59 |
| JonHanDin | Another quick question - I run rkhunter and tiger. Anything else anyone would recommend? | 22:02 |
| amazoniantoad | idk what those are | 22:02 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, rkhunter (rootkit hunter) - tiger (system auditor) | 22:03 |
| ahi2 | i had to go to my recovery mode and drop to root shell. Root didn't ask me for a password. Isn't that not secure? | 22:03 |
| amazoniantoad | JonHanDin, can I pm you | 22:04 |
| JonHanDin | amazoniantoad, feel free | 22:04 |
| tomreyn | ahi2: it is not a higher security risk than someone taking the hdds with themselves or copying them | 22:05 |
| ahi2 | kind of defeats the purpose of logging in no? | 22:06 |
| tomreyn | logging in may be possible remotely, may enable direct access to your possibly encrypted (with an encryption key derived from the login password) home directory. | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | ahi2: if you want to protect the system against physical attacks while data is at rest, use full disk encryption | 22:08 |
| ahi2 | i use a hard drive password | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | (and think about how you'll prevent evil maid attacks) | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | OPAL then? | 22:09 |
| ahi2 | in the bios | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | "in the bios" doesn't say much about how it works, or whether it's something you should rely on. | 22:10 |
| ahi2 | when i turn the laptop on itasks me for a password. then another one in lightdm | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | so this could just be a bios password preventing the computer from booting until a matching passphrase is entered, but not encrypting disks. or it could be OPAL, which can be ok or completely useless depending on the implementation. | 22:13 |
| ahi2 | not encrypted. anyway i keep my data on a usb drive not on the laptop | 22:14 |
| Synaptic | hello, any guide how to install a bluetooth pci card rt3290 , found many guides online but i would like to follow the official one | 22:14 |
| tomreyn | we're a bit off-topic here, though, since none of this is about ubuntu (except for the software full disk encryption). | 22:14 |
| Synaptic | or maybe to know wich kernel support this hardware starting from.. | 22:14 |
| Synaptic | thank you | 22:14 |
| tomreyn | Synaptic: the best thing you can do is try the latest !LTS release without and with !HWE and see whether it works there, also running lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:17 |
| Synaptic | !lts | 22:18 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions are supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Bionic (Bionic Beaver 18.04). Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information. | 22:18 |
| Synaptic | !hwe 3290 | 22:18 |
| tomreyn | !hwe | Synaptic | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Synaptic: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 22:21 |
| tomreyn | from what i just read, it's supported since Linux 4.13. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS comes with Linux 4.15 by default. | 22:22 |
| Synaptic | for wifi maybe | 22:22 |
| Synaptic | not for bt | 22:22 |
| tomreyn | did you try? | 22:23 |
| jeremy31 | Synaptic: I am not sure bluetooth on the rt3290 has worked since the 4.4 kernel | 22:24 |

| Synaptic | i believe.. | 22:24 |
| jeremy31 | Synaptic: 4.10 is no longer supported | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | there's no suppported ubuntu release with this kernel, maybe you'Re running something else. | 22:25 |
| Synaptic | im on deb | 22:25 |
| Synaptic | right now | 22:25 |
| Synaptic | but i was wondering if updating kernel 4.19 will solve my problem | 22:25 |
| Synaptic | i was checking the changelog for all kernel, but didnt find nothing about this 3290 | 22:25 |
| tomreyn | we only support ubuntu here, and ubuntu kernels. | 22:25 |
| jeremy31 | Synaptic: not with rt3290 bluetooth IIRC | 22:25 |
