just so it gets reset, tho if it's managing to boot the old 10.04 it can't be too broken [07:23] <_Dbug_> I think grub is working fine, I can select between the 10.04 and the other ubuntu, except if fails with a bazillion of errors (can't find swap, inodes problems, etc...) if I select the main isntall. [07:35] any skilled user of back-in-time software? I got a problem to set the path to a NAS, can you help me? [07:35] blackflow: fwiw, all gigabit NICs support auto negotiation (as it's part of the standard afaik) so crossover cables aren't necessary [07:41] Triffid_Hunter: I know. That's why I said "if the NIC supports it". I have no idea what NIC was there. === mwsb1 is now known as mwsb [08:08] <_Dbug_> Is "ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso" supposed to be bootable as a live CD? [08:10] yes _Dbug_ [08:11] <_Dbug_> Weird. I tried an old 14.04 DVD I had, I get it to boot fint (it appears in the bios boot menu as UEFI) but when I try with the freshly burnt 18:04, I don't have the UEFI option, all I get is the blinking cursor [08:14] Unless you know that same disk works in another machine, it's probably just a dodgy burn [08:14] _Dbug_: ^ most likely this, or broken / incomplete download. [08:14] I would recommend to use a USB flash drive, if possible. [08:15] <_Dbug_> Guess time to check the md5 [08:15] !md5 [08:15] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:17] <_Dbug_> 69809dc7e058b81bc781fe3e24d3204f *ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso <- matches for what I can see, so probably broken burn. First one in a decade :D [08:18] How quaint :) [08:18] i second the preference for usb flash (or better storage) over optical media. also, whichever media you'll write to, be sure to use a software which can verify the write. [08:19] I cant even remember how to spell DVD any more, let alone burn one [08:20] <_Dbug_> I do use an external dvd burner, stashed in a drawer, with a stack of hi quality dvds. I've a bunch of burnt dvds with various versions of OS, that's been helpful in the past, specially with a broken OS without access to the internet :) [08:22] <_Dbug_> (I guess preferences are probably also highly related to the age of people :D) [08:26] <_Dbug_> Ok, was a bad burn. Will teach me not using the usual software... the new one does boot fine. Thanks. [08:26] hi. when i install chrome on ubuntu, it uses my local language as display language automatically and when i try to change on Settings menu, the option to change display language is missing on Ubuntu. [08:26] There is an option on Windows to change display language but there isn't on Ubuntu Chrome version... [08:31] found solution. https://askubuntu.com/questions/202670/change-google-chrome-language [08:31] ankk: do you mean the proprietary chrome (not supported here), or ubuntu's open source chromium-browser? [08:31] Chrome on Ubuntu respects the default system language [08:31] tomreyn: google chrome.. [08:32] rory: :) [08:44] <_Dbug_> Ok, I managed to boot on the live CD, not quite sure to do now. When I fsck it tells me the OS partition is "clean" but can't boot the system: https://pasteboard.co/Ih4hfe5.jpg if anyone has idea [08:45] i'd help, but this image hosting site doesn't work for me, never displays images. [08:45] probably anti-anti-anti-anti ad-blocker scripts or something. [08:46] <_Dbug_> Damn, I would normally host that on my site... but that's my webserver that's currently dead [08:46] if you can provide a direct link to the image or, better, use text, that'd help. [08:46] imgur.com usually works fine [08:47] <_Dbug_> https://imgur.com/Hznf945 working? [08:47] yes, the direct link would have been https://i.imgur.com/Hznf945.jpg [08:48] <_Dbug_> sr0 is the dvd I just booted from with the 18.04 live cd. /dev/sda1 is supported to have an installed 18.04 but it does not boot anymore (psu died, fs got wonky) [08:48] sda is a raw storage, it is not a file system you can run fsck against [08:48] oh you noticed this [08:48] <_Dbug_> I'm not quite sure what sda2 is supposed to be? [08:49] sda2 will be an extended partition boundary [08:49] <_Dbug_> Ok, so some padding of sort? [08:50] it indicates which part of the disk is part of extended partition 'space' [08:50] ... on a classic / legacy msdos partition table [08:51] if you run sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda it may become more visible. [08:52] <_Dbug_> sda1 -> Linux / sda2 -> Etended / sda5 -> Linux swap / Solaris [08:53] <_Dbug_> Would it make sense for me to try to mount sda1 and do a full backup of the content so I get a copy of all my modified config files, etc... ? [08:54] also note that fsck against a journalled file system will just return doing nothing by default unless either (a) the file system is marked unclean, (b) you request the actual check to take place (fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdaX) [08:55] <_Dbug_> oh? So maybe I should run that on sda1 to force the check? [08:56] _Dbug_: what the the root issue you'Re trying to solve here? i don't think you discussed this. [08:56] i.e. why are you running fsck? [08:57] <_Dbug_> My PSU died, when I replaced it the OS was all broken, found out that it actually booted from a secondary SSD that contained an old 10.04 install that I forgot to remove, because it could not actually boot from the main SSD that had the fully up to date 18.04 LTS [08:57] <_Dbug_> When I tried to force boot on the main drive, I got the bootsequence telling me the filesystem was corrupted and I should run a check. [08:58] <_Dbug_> So, for the context, this is just a webserver, so basically apache + php + mysql, with some additional stuff like SVN with WebDAV, plus some symlinks from var/www to the large HDD for the actual webcontent/domains [08:59] <_Dbug_> (and some cron jobs to update a dyn dns) [08:59] Hi. is there a way to check whether packages are installed? given a list of libs needed ? [09:00] <_Dbug_> What I'm trying to solve is: Getting my webserver up and running again :) I checked that the webcontent was still good, it's only the actual OS drive that's not happy. [09:01] okay, so you just run: sudo fsck.ext4 -f -C 0 /dev/sda1 [09:01] _Dbug_: ^ [09:01] !backup | _Dbug_ [09:01] _Dbug_: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup, !borg, and !cloning [09:01] you definitely need backups. [09:02] <_Dbug_> I was running Back in Time, but does not hurt to do a manual copy on some other machine if I have a clean filesystem. Never know if a backup is actually recoverable until you try it [09:02] <_Dbug_> Is it a "O" or a "ZERO" after -C ? [09:02] yes, zero [09:03] cariveri: dpkg -l packagename [09:04] <_Dbug_> 5 passes, no error reported, /dev/sda1: 302613/62591456 files (0.4% non-contiguous), 7191081/25138432 blocks [09:04] cariveri: if output starts with 'i' then it's installed. mayber better / easier: apt list --installed packagename [09:04] _Dbug_: hmm did it not say that modifications were made? [09:05] "filesystem has been modified"? [09:05] <_Dbug_> nope. Checking inodes, directory structure and connectivyt, reference groups, group summary information. That's all [09:06] <_Dbug_> But I did run one of these fsck earlier before I tried the live cd suggested by rfm, so that mayve have been it [09:06] _Dbug_: then this file system was previously repaired while booting off it [09:06] or what you just said [09:06] <_Dbug_> If I want to try mount it from the live cd, should I just "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /somename" ? [09:07] _Dbug_: so either way it won't get better than it is now (you dcould run fsck.ext4 -D to maybe increase performance, but that's it) [09:07] _Dbug_: yes, about mounting it, but be sure to mkdir -p /somename beforehand [09:07] <_Dbug_> Ok, so if it does not boot, maybe just reinstall from the live cd on the same drive, and then try to reintegrate my changes? [09:09] tomreyn: thanks. worked great. I could even pass the list of packages to it. [09:09] _Dbug_: you may want to ensure you have a recent backup (especially of /etc) before you try to recover it. [09:09] <_Dbug_> Yeah, that's why I want to try to mount it, then copy the content somewhere else [09:09] _Dbug_: before you reinstlal, you could also try to chroot into the system and make it bootable again [09:10] _Dbug_: this way you could preserve your configurations [09:10] <_Dbug_> I guess nothing to lose, and a lot to learn :D [09:10] _Dbug_: before you spend time on that i'd personally try to just boot it as it is,though. [09:12] cariveri: you're welcome :) [09:12] i use multiple desktop users on Ubuntu and all of them have same display on desktop. I want to display username on a corner of desktop.. what is the easiest way to do this? [09:13] <_Dbug_> tomreyn, ok, I'm going to have a break, and then I'll try that. Thanks for the help! [09:14] Howdy, I cant seem to configure changes in my grub... is there something I need to do after I edit and save the GRUB_DEFAULT variable in /etc/default/grub to make the changes take effect? [09:14] _Dbug_: in case it fails to boot normally or from !recovery (which can be the easier option), here's the chroot recovery steps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Update_Failure [09:16] <_Dbug_> Thanks [09:19] ankk: which ubuntu !release and !flavour is this? [09:20] tomreyn: ubuntu 18.04 [09:20] Tankburn: yes, you need to sudo update-grub which will generate /boot/grub/grub.cfg from those configuration files [09:21] ankk: so you're aware that the username shows after clicking on the power / sound /networking icons top right, and that's insufficient? [09:22] Thanks tomreyn, also with that variable is 0 the first option or is 1? [09:22] tomreyn: yes but i want to see username immediately when i change switch user screen via Ctrl+Alt+FunctionX shortcut [09:22] Tankburn: 0 [09:22] i don't want to make a mouse move on each screen to remember username [09:23] TYSM [09:23] ankk: i don't normally recommend the use of additional gnome shell extensions, but maybe it'll work here: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1108/add-username-to-top-panel/ [09:25] <_Random_> hey guys my ubuntu is unabke to connect to another linux machine on the same network. "connection refused " [09:25] <_Random_> where to start to resolve the issue. [09:26] <_Random_> I'm guessing it might be the firewall [09:26] _Random_: getting IPs of the machines. ping to see connectivity . already past this? [09:26] _Random_: start by trying to connect to the other linux machine on itself using its LAN IP address. [09:26] <_Random_> actually, I think i might not of enabled sshd [09:26] _Random_: sudo service ssh start [09:29] on an ubuntu system, the preferred / current approach would be systemctl start ssh [09:30] (but 'service' still works, too) [09:31] tomreyn: its just a little more human to speak of service instead of systemctl. thats why I never really got used to it. [09:32] "apt-get install" too should be renamed to somthing like uinstall . it doesnt make much sense to make a command that complicated. [09:33] cariveri: use what you're happy with ;) - i just think we shouöd recommend the actual utilities, not compatibility wrappers. [09:33] tomreyn: I do agree. but Im nt speaking of wrapping. [09:34] cariveri: there is "apt install", less to type already, and you can just add aliases as you like. [09:34] thats no option to me. as I would like to recall stuff thats available everywhere. not just on my machine. [09:37] i feel this is more a topic for #ubuntu-discuss [09:38] tomreyn: before extension i was dealing with adding user to a new group. i added user to a group but after logged off and re-logged in but it doesn't apply changes [09:38] if i use su - username on terminal, it work but it doesn't work on Gnome [09:38] i mean i can't use new group permissions on Gnome processes.. [09:39] ankk: you need to restart gdm [09:39] how [09:40] wow... somethings happen after systemctl restart gdm.service [09:40] :| [09:40] logout, switch to a text tty, login, systemctl restart gdm3 [09:40] hmmm i restarted in gnome :) [09:41] i prefer a clean 'shutdown' of gnome-shell [09:41] it blinks with white screen :) [09:42] i'm not sure what happened there. maybe journalctl -b can tell [09:43] i can't do anything.. probably reboot is a must right now [09:43] done. [09:44] no need to restart gdm anymore :( [09:52] <_Dbug_> tomreyn, http://www.defence-force.org/index.php?page=main [09:54] _Dbug_: is this related to ubuntu support somehow? [09:55] oh that'll be your website, hosted on this server, i see. === jstein_ is now known as jstein [09:55] <_Dbug_> tomreyn, is it fine to mention the help I got there in my change notes :) ? [09:55] sure ;) [09:55] <_Dbug_> So there you :) [09:56] glad i could help. [10:04] tomreyn: extension didn't work.. [10:04] I have a rather broken python3 installation - some combination of packages installed through pip, some installed via package manager, some installed multiple times, pip3 is broken, and I'd like to nuke everything python and start over [10:05] what's the best way to do this? [10:05] and pip3 is itself broken [10:07] 'gnome-shutdown-button@kirby_33@hotmail.fr' is already enabled. [10:09] thefatma: :) === elstellino__ is now known as elstellino [10:44] Hi folks [10:45] What are llvm and mesa versions in 19.04? [10:45] Hey , I installed docker-ce on ubuntu 18.04 and i cant see my .docker file under my home folder, any ideas [10:50] Hey I want to change how the name of my OSes show in the GRUB menu, Particularly my Windows boot manu item (currently says Windows Boot Manager and I want to change it to Windows or Windows 10). My OS'es are on seperate disks so should I use GRUB to do this or should I use efibootmgr? [10:54] Tankburn: you could edit the generated grub.cfg === jstein_ is now known as jstein [10:59] yeah I guess, it just wiped every time I run sudo update-grub [11:00] but now that I've made all my changes I guess I can do that === Yorick_ is now known as Yorick === Yorick is now known as Guest3450 [11:33] So I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu, and I think I am having some issues with DNS.. I can't install anything "Temporary failure resolving 'mirrors.linode.com'" and I can't dig anything either "connection timed out; no servers could be reached".. Tried to reinstall as well.. New to Linux. Any ideas? (Running on Linode btw.) [11:39] did you try another mirror instead? [11:41] Which package is for gallium nine wine? [11:41] in 19.04 [11:42] hi, [11:42] M_aD: Quite new to Linux, can't figure out how to change the mirror.. Is it in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [11:43] qwebirc65648: it is there [11:43] when I try to download with wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.64.0/source/boost_1_64_0.tar.gz [11:44] HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden [11:44] 2019-05-30 14:38:50 ERROR 403: Forbidden.

Heh.. I will try to change mirror using commandline if I can figure that out [11:45] piraye: It will use a random exit on each run. [11:45] piraye: so you might want to retry multiple times ;> [11:46] qwebirc65648: eh? what? You installed Ubuntu you said and you're new to linux. Did you install Ubuntu server then instead? [11:47] or did you do a minimal commandline only install [11:47] be more specific [11:47] M_aD: My host doesn't include GUI in the image, so I just planned to install Unity by commandline.. [11:47] M_aD: Yes, It's the minimal install. [11:48] fling, still working, lets see [11:48] qwebirc65648: then you have to edit the sources.list i guess [11:48] * M_aD is no expert on that [11:48] fling, --2019-05-30 14:47:19-- https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.64.0/source/boost_1_64_0.tar.gz [11:48] Resolving dl.bintray.com (dl.bintray.com)...

[11:51] qwebirc65648: host google.com [11:52] leftyfb, how to contact the owner of #ubuntu-offtopic? [11:52] piraye: your issue is not ubuntu related. Sorry. [11:53] ok, you suggest to connect into this site, thanks for that [11:53] I did nopt know how to connect there [11:54] leftyfb: "No servers could be reached" [11:54] vulkaninfo says /build/vulkan-tools-35Ffza/vulkan-tools-1.1.101.0+dfsg1/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.c:5028: failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED [11:54] qwebirc65648: ok, your issue is your network settings.

It works out of the box when configured properly. Support for docker is in #docker [12:00] * fling just tried to help everyone :P [12:00] fling: also, pdnsd is a DNS server. Not a client resolver [12:11] amedeus72 [12:11] hunter2 [12:11] sy [12:45] the kiwidev.xyz mirror of ubuntu 19.04 returns a 404. [12:46] leonardus: ok? Contact kiwidev.xyz? [12:47] just thought i should mention that since it's one of the default download sources on ubuntu.com [12:47] i went to download ubuntu and got immediately redirected to the 404 [12:48] leonardus: ok, everyone here is a volunteer. Nobody here runs kiwidev.xyz. Maybe try #ubuntu-website [13:02] Hello, I'm on Debian but should be the same. I'm trying to change the default app for common office files, setting in /usr/share/applications/default.list usgin mime-types, but it doesn't work. Only .doc changes correctly, but none of docx, xls,xlsx, odt, ods work [13:08] renani: only ubuntu is supported here. there's #debian [13:09] ok [13:10] same system, really; renani: check ~/.local/share/applications/default.list as well (or mimeapps.list in the same directory) [13:12] mgedamin: he already left the channel :\ [13:12] ah, I have joins/parts hidden [13:12] mgedmin [13:13] ah okay [13:13] mgedmin: I see he joined #debian now though. [13:18] Hi can someone help me trouble shoot this? the big picture is, I have an hp spectre with ubuntu 19.04 on it. It's connected to a dock via thunderbolt. it has two 4k monitors connected to the dock, but only one will work at a time. [13:19] can it actually push 2 4k displays generally? [13:20] purplepod: so, my understanding from hp foruems is that it can push 2 4k. The dock says it can do duel 4k monitors. one via hdmi and one via usb-c (which i'm converting to hdmi ). [13:22] so I'm feeling like it should. when I run xrand --prop, i have three entries, edp1 (the laptop monitor) dp-1 connectd and dp2 disconnected [13:22] none of that is iron clad proof. so I'm hoping someone can help me do the right diagnostics [13:23] can you dual-boot into some other OS and verify if it works there? it's a quick way to make sure the hardware and your cables can handle it [13:24] iffraff, I'd try with 2x 1080p if you have em just go make sure both ports / cables are working, etc, after that its try 1x 4k 1x 1080p, etc. [13:24] eliminate potential issues to narrow it down [13:25] I'm thinking, would bandwidth constraints force a monitor to "disconnected"? [13:25] Which package is for gallium nine patched wine? [13:25] in 19.04 [13:25] that makes sense. However, both monitors will work. If I unplug one, the other will work. then I plug it back in and the other still works but not the first. and in the same in reverse [13:25] I've read gallim nine was added to 18.10 [13:26] I had a cable problem where a 2560x1080 monitor would only work at 1920x1080 when connected with a DP->HDMI cable that took a lot of scratching, until I got a native DP->DP cable and it worked at full res [13:26] mgedmin: Im not sure bandwidth of which, but Im actually running the laptop closed so it's really only running one monitor right now. [13:26] the laptop is actually 4k too. but I"l turn down the res on the one 4k now and see if the other doesn't appear [13:27] there should be a way to enable some debug output from the kernel's DRM subsystem, but (a) I don't remember what it is, and (b) I'd have no idea how to interpret the output anyway [13:27] what sort of GPU does your HP have? [13:28] lol. so I turned down res, but still only one monitor in "displays" of settings. should I log off and on or reboot? or do you think that would be not necessary [13:29] I do not see how logging of or rebooting could help [13:30] monitors are hotpluggable, and you've already established that hotplugging works [13:30] right, then I"m going back up in resolution this is killing me :) [13:30] there must be some constraint where having one output connected prevents the other one from being used [13:30] have you checked dmesg or journalctl for messages? [13:31] nope. is that going to be a huge dump of logs? if so is there something specific I should look for? [13:32] something relevant? do a journalctl -f and then plug in the 2nd monitor, see if _anything at all_ shows up [13:33] you can enable the kernel DRM subsystem debug logging by doing things like echo 0x5 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug [13:34] that value is a bitmask, documented here, I think: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8882371/ [13:34] right, I'll try unplugging plugging and see what happens in those first two logs firs [13:34] t [13:34] so you could enable debugging, then try the hotplug, then check dmesg for any errors [13:34] and then echo 0 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug to turn off the debugging before it fills out all of your logs [13:35] this assumes you're using a native open driver that uses the kernel's DRM infrastructure, i.e. not nvidia [13:35] (I did ask about your GPU, but you never answered) [13:35] so dmesg clearly shows the usb device being deregistered and reregistered [13:35] so that's good [13:35] USB? ooooh USB-C monitors, haven't had the pleasure of dealing with those yet, was confused for a moment :) [13:38] yes sorry, should have been more explicit. however the other one is hdmi. I could easily make it to where the usb-c monitor works and the hdmi monitor does not if that helps [13:40] the journalctl says "hub 8-blah : usb hub found" then "hub 8-blah: 2 ports detected" [13:40] I would think it meant 2 video ports because there are more that 2 actual usb ports on this hub [13:41] maybe internally there's a second hub behind one of the ports? who knows [13:43] mgedmin: so do you think this is the proper channel to investigate this problem? can you think of any other irc channels or resources I could use? === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [13:48] IIRC #intel-gfx was helpful to me once, when I debugged wonky displayport hotplug on my laptop with an intel GPU [13:48] I'm sure other driver people have their own channels [13:48] interesting. good idea! thanks. I believe it's nvidia. [13:49] oof, hard mode [13:50] ug, I don't know what that means but it doesn't sound good [13:52] nvidia is a very closed company; the driver they provide is closed-source and doesn't fit into the linux world very well, and the open drivers people have written are mostly guesswork [13:52] it's hard to debug why things don't work when you can't even look at the source code [13:53] ah, that makes sense and sucks at the sametime [14:22] Hello, I'm using Xubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on my Lenovo G400 laptop. I had no problems using the laptop before, but this problem came quite suddenly. Most of the times when I run `sudo apt update` it will get stuck at `0% [Connecting]` somewhere in the middle, the command will then end with `connection timed out`. Here is the paste of me trying the comma [14:22] nd three times: https://pastebin.com/b5q498yH [14:22] Once in a while the update will run with no problems, but most of the times I will encounter an error such as what has been explained above, to the point that it's getting very annoying. I don't think I have problems with my connection as I can connect to the internet (including to the launchpad ppa, where the update will most often fail) just fine [14:22] . I have tried disabling IPv6 (majority of the answers I found in StackOverflow suggested doing this) but the error still appears. Would love if someone here can help, thanks! [14:26] data4pass: best to ask in one channel instead of crossposting, in #xubuntu you're in the right channel ;) :) [14:28] that totally looks like a network problem... [14:29] data4pass: looks like maybe you're having issues connecting to ppa.launchpad.net. Possibly some sort of hop problem with your ISP? [14:30] I'm not sure... I can access ppa.launchpad.net via browser just fine [14:31] that is interesting [14:31] Can someone help me interpret this log line? Upgrade: podman:amd64 (1.3.2-1~dev~ubuntu18.04~ppa11, 1.3.2-1~dev~ubuntu18.04~ppa14), containers-common:amd64 (0.1.37-1~dev~ubuntu18.04~ppa2, 0.1.37-1~dev~ubuntu18.04~ppa3) [14:31] data4pass: as you mentioned, it's intermittent [14:31] what if you run some network diagnostics tool like mtr ppa.launchpad.net while you try the apt-get update? [14:32] mtr should make intermittent problems visible [14:32] What's the transition from ppa11 to ppa14, for instance, or pp2 to pp3? There doesn't seem to be any version differences, so what does it mean? [14:33] galaxie: any change in the name will trigger an update. It is possible that no updates were actually provided to the application, but a configuration file was modified [14:34] galaxie: those are parts of the version number [14:34] pragmaticenigma: OK, so, like passing --version to the application shows it's still the same version number, so I guess it was just the config? [14:35] version numbers are complicated! [14:35] galaxie: Do you have multiple PPAs enabled on that particular machines? [14:35] there's the upstream version (1.3.2), and then the debian packager takes upstream releases and makes debs for them, and appends -1 or something [14:36] then ubuntu comes and add some additional suffixes [14:36] and then this looks like a backport so the ppa uploader added ~ubuntu18.04 to indicate where it was backported from and ~ppa11 indicating that this is 11th build of the backport [14:37] in theory you can do `apt changelog podman` and see the contents of the debian changelog where very of these packaging updates should be documented [14:37] assuming 'apt changelog' works for ppa packages, which I hope it does? [14:37] if not, then a copy of the debian changelog should be in /usr/share/doc/podman/changelog.Debian.gz [14:40] mgedmin: Changelog unavailable. [14:41] mgedmin: It shows it being autobuilt. [14:42] ah, yes, automation, how nice [14:43] you'll have to ask the packager or do a debdiff of the corresponding source packages downloaded from the ppa if you're really very interested [14:44] Nautilus is sooooo slow, why? [14:45] folder with 4000 images, virtually doesn't load, when it finally does it freezes etc [14:45] ren0v0: disable image preview [14:45] pragmaticenigma, but i want image preview [14:45] ren0v0, thumbnailing 4000 images takes time. [14:45] Also, I used a script to pre-generate all thumbs, so they are already there [14:45] . [14:45] so it's nothing to do with that [14:46] It still has to load those 4000 thumbnails into RAM and render them [14:47] ren0v0: Nautilus still has to find and load all 4,000 thumbnails. Generating the thumbnail is the fast part, matching each to it's associated file takes time. Especially since I believe the match is done via a file hash [14:47] pragmaticenigma, is it then stored in some kind of lookup table? [14:47] ren0v0, if you want, you can look here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues [14:48] ren0v0: No, they're not preserved as then you would have users complaining that recently added photos aren't generating thumbnails [14:48] :/ [14:49] pragmaticenigma, any file manager you know of that does things differently ? [14:49] I'm sure it shouldn't take a few minutes to loop over 4000 files [14:49] that's crazy [14:49] ren0v0: Most best practices suggest that you break your collections into smaller collections [14:49] pragmaticenigma, sure, that's what i'm trying to do, organise a photo collection [14:50] ren0v0: Use multiple windows. as long as the file manager window remains open, it won't need to regenerate all those thumbnails [14:51] if you change folder it does [14:51] so i go into a folder it takes a few minutes, back out then back in and it does it all again [14:51] just stupid [14:51] ren0v0: Open the folders in separate windows [14:52] pragmaticenigma, sigh, ok [14:52] not a nice flow [14:52] takes more time [14:58] ren0v0: I personally disable the thumbnail previews in any file manager as I don't care for the slowdown to my system. When managing photos I use a dedicated photo management application. You can check out some suggestions in this article and try them out. https://itsfoss.com/linux-photo-management-software/ [15:00] Hello, if I am running Lubuntu, when I upgrade, it moves me to lxqt or how will it work? [15:00] Lubuntu 18.04LTS [15:02] o-bit: I think you're mixing up your acronyms... lxqt is a variant to the core LXDE desktop. LTS is for long term support. can you please rephrase your question? [15:02] I think they mean, "will upgrading to 18.04 replace my LXDE with LXQT"? [15:03] pragmaticenigma: I am wondering if an upgrade will automatically replace lxde with lxqt, seeing that currently new versions of Lubuntu ship with lxqt? [15:04] _Dbug_: some observations after looking at screenshot you posted: [15:04] A. fsck on /dev/sda5 (SWAP) is not required and does not make sense [15:05] B. Since /dev/sda1 is clean after fsck, try to mount it readonly (using mount option "-o ro") and get your chanegd files, config files etc [15:06] C. Running fsck on /dev/sda does not make sense EXCEPT in the few cases where you may have had a filesystem on an entire disk WITHOUT partitions - not the case here [15:06] A week or two ago I was asking here about broken GNOME Activities Overview in 19.04. [15:06] It turned out the culprit is windowsNavigator extension. [15:06] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions/issues/143 [15:07] <_Dbug_> For A) I did not know that swap partitions were not actually "file system". For B) I did mount for backup, did not know about the read only mount, guess it makes sense to avoid cp on the wrong direction. For C), I was kind of imagining that would mean "scan check whatever filesystem you find on the device" :) [15:07] If someone has run into the same problem disabling the extension is an easy workaround. [15:07] The bug is fixed upstream, if you really want to have the extension. [15:07] * _Dbug_ is still quite a n00b in term of linux use [15:08] o-bit: The transition to LXQT of Lubuntu began with Ubuntu 18.10. I do not see anything in the release notes stating that upgrading to 18.04 LTS will upgrade to LXQT [15:08] _Dubug_: If I were you, once you have copied contents of /dev/sda1 out, I would start with a new clean install and make t he effort of retro-fitting changed files, configs as needed - but that is just me. [15:08] * o-bit looks at _Dbug_ and LOLs then saying: Everyone is noob in linux, including the creator. [15:08] o-bit: please try to stay on topic. commentary is best kept to the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. Thank you [15:09] pragmaticenigma: I mean upgrading to 18.10 from 18.04. [15:09] _Dbug_: also, next time you can use the command "gdisk -l /dev/sda" or, if gdisk command is not found, "fdisk -l /dev/sda" to see partition table. That will (more) clearly show that, e.g. /dev/sda2 in this case is probably a logical partition - meaning no fsck is requried or called for on that partition [15:09] o-bit: That is a downgrade and is not supported [15:09] *: OK. I had not followed the full exchange. [15:10] err [15:10] <_Dbug_> linux-phaedrus, the server is running now, but I'm probably going to get some new hardware because I don't trust a machine which get such a power failure, I'll do the full reinstall on the new machine. [15:10] o-bit: sorry... misread that... traditionally people place the older first in numerical order. Also, please be detailed in your original questions. [15:11] LOL, okay [15:13] o-bit: from the release notes "https://lubuntu.me/cosmic-released/" upgrading from 18.04 to 18.10 is not supported. The team recommends a fresh install. This appears to be largely due to the change from LXDE to LXQT [15:14] Hmm, okay, thanks === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [15:16] o-bit, have you read the Release Notes about the upgrade from 18.04 to 18.10 ? [15:17] ioria: I just sent the notes to them [15:17] ok [15:18] o-bit, focus on this : The most major and notable problem is that upgrading Lubuntu from 18.04 to 18.10 causes a fair amount of issues. [15:18] o-bit, Therefore, we are not officially supporting this upgrade path at this time, [15:20] ioria: Will it be supported from 18.04 to 20.04 LTS? [15:21] o-bit, i cannot know, but i guess not [15:22] LOL, so what's the next option after Lubuntu in terms of performance, apart from Xubuntu, with upgrade options atleast between LTSs [15:22] o-bit, you just said: xubuntu [15:23] LOL, apart from it. [15:23] o-bit, lxde will be discontinued, i'am afraid [15:24] o-bit: I'd consider Ubuntu MATE. [15:24] o-bit, yes, mate could be an alternative [15:27] Nice, I will check it out, let me go download it, hope it doesn't suck or get a discontinued D.E [15:32] o-bit: do you mind if I ask what are the specific reasons you're not considering Xubuntu? [15:34] raindev: Well, the screen saver bug, I felt it back in 16.04, screen just blacksout if you don't keep touching mouse, [15:34] Thunar bugs, when you press back, it can jump back to home directory. [15:35] Alot of screen tearing [15:36] Bugs then, got it. [15:36] And many many more. [15:48] when I do ls -la I see lrwxrwxrwx 1 git git 41 May 28 20:38 authorized_keys -> /var/lib/gitlab/data/.ssh/authorized_keys but cat: authorized_keys: No such file or directory [15:49] does /var/lib/gitlab/data/.ssh/authorized_keys exist? [15:49] it could be a broken symlink [15:51] hi. is there a shortcut key to switch user? [15:53] I don't think so [15:54] ... wait, actually, it's just a matter of hitting ctrl+alt+f1 to vt switch to the gdm screen ... but that leaves your session unlocked [15:54] there's a shortcut to lock screen, so you could do that before you vt switch [15:57] mgedmin, is there a way to remove password requirement while switching between users each time? [15:58] i just want to logon one time after power up [15:58] no, but if you do vt switching with ctrl+alt+F2/F3 etc then the other session will remain unlocked [15:58] (unless you have lock after inactivity enabled etc.) [16:01] i'm trying to wrap my head around what thing i need to read the documentation for. [16:01] i have a system running ubuntu mate 18.04.2 [16:02] !details | blackswan [16:02] blackswan: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [16:02] i'm getting to the details, i'm typing them now. [16:03] networkmanager is configured with a dns search path on the wifi interface [16:03] but, systemd-resolved is not using that search path [16:03] resolv.conf points to systemd-resolved, which is fine. [16:04] https://askubuntu.com/questions/974018/how-to-switch-back-to-graphical-vt [16:04] i have resolvconf installed also [16:04] mgedmin, do you have solution for the above problem? [16:04] and a vpn, which, when active, should add its own search patch, and that works fine [16:05] but systemd-resolved --status is listing for the domain search path for the wifi "~." and "lan", and i don't understand why [16:05] i want to get systemd to look at the networkmanager configuration [16:05] metrixx: keep switching until you find the GUI; on text consoles you can use Alt-Left/Alt-Right to cycle through all of them in order [16:06] because i am cofiguring that with ansible scripts [16:06] metrixx: if you keep pressing Alt-Right and see only text consoles, then your gui has crashed and there's nothing you can do, except log in in a text console and restart gdm (or reboot) [16:07] Hello, I have a laptop with an onboard intel gpu and an nvidia geforce graphics card. I did sudo lshw -C video and it shows both gpus but the nvidia one says "UNCLAIMED" [16:07] so my question is how do i get systemd to pay attention to the ipv4 search path that networkmanager has, and, also, is there some documentation that i should have read that would have helped me with this and if so, would it have helped me, and if not, how can i help improve it [16:07] mgedmin, is there a way to convert text mode virtual terminal to gui one? [16:08] or disable text mode virtual terminal? [16:08] uh, run startx? (but seriously don't, this is not 1999) [16:08] because i don't like just asking questions and getting answers. i want to give something back to the world and i'm trying to figure out how to do that in the most effective possible way [16:09] blackswan: you ask hard questions ... [16:09] i do. [16:09] mgedmin, i just want my users in order while using ctrl+alt+f2/f3/f4 .. i don't want any text virtual terminal between them [16:09] because i'm pretty smart and i can figure out all the easy ones. so i'm left with questions nobody has any idea how to help me with. [16:12] blackswan: This channel focuses itself on the Ubuntu Desktop and it's core. It specializes in end user help, where applications or default configurations are causing issues. Your questions are typically in the higher level realm, and would probably be better suited being asked in ##netowrking, ##linux, #ubuntu-server ... More advance questions are going to need advanced resources [16:13] pardon... I had a typo ##netowrking should be ##networking [16:13] metrixx: why do you need more than one GUI session anyway? they eat huge amounts of RAM and vt switching is janky and unpleasant [16:13] is there a ##notworking ;) [16:13] mgedmin, there is, but you'll find it's not working. [16:15] mgedmin, i have a lot of ram, i am rich. [16:15] thank you by the way :) [16:30] is there a command like `watch` where if a file changes it will automatically execute a command? I am trying to get a dot graph to auto generate after a file-save [16:30] ash_worksi: Not sure if theirs another way but cron'ing diff should let you know. [16:30] there are a lot of commands like this and they all are bad :( [16:31] watchdog is the only one I remember at the moment [16:31] assuming you are fine with making two copies of the file to start with. [16:31] ("bad" == have terrible user interfaces) [16:31] ash_worksi, you want the inotify tools [16:32] ash_worksi: You would be better to have a scheduled task update the graph based on a timer. It requires far less system resources and won't lead to potential file corruption [16:32] pragmaticenigma: less resources than inotifywait? [16:33] ash_worksi, how often will the file be changed, and how soon must the new graph be ready? [16:33] hello world [16:33] I am trying to get ubuntu64 arm in qemu over intel core i7 === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [16:33] and I never got it working [16:33]
