| Soni | leftyfb: idek what thos are | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| leftyfb | Soni: then my quick answer is, if you're not willing to look it up and learn, then you shouldn't be running a web server. That said ... | 00:04 |
| leftyfb | Soni: drwxr-x--- 2 www-data www-data 4.0K Jun 5 00:03 lighttpd | 00:04 |
| Soni | leftyfb: I can't even find that stuff anywhere and idk where you're finding it | 00:04 |
| leftyfb | Soni: I spun up a container and installed lightttpd and looked in /var/log | 00:04 |
| Soni | leftyfb: that's awful | 00:04 |
| leftyfb | Soni: awful? | 00:05 |
| Soni | yes | 00:06 |
| Soni | there's no easy way to check the stuff = that's awful | 00:06 |
| leftyfb | Soni: there are other ways. This was the quickest for me | 00:06 |
| sarnold | Soni: https://sources.debian.org/src/lighttpd/1.4.53-4/debian/lighttpd.init/ | 00:09 |
| Soni | ugh, okay, I see what's going on | 00:11 |
| leftyfb | Soni: you really need to provide details/context. | 00:12 |
| Soni | leftyfb: certbot is a piece of crap that eats filesystem permissions | 00:12 |
| Soni | and nobody should use it | 00:12 |
| leftyfb | Soni: nope | 00:13 |
| leftyfb | Soni: certbot works just fine. I have it running on multiple Ubuntu servers | 00:13 |
| Soni | leftyfb: I am 99.9999% sure it was certbot that fucked my /var/log | 00:13 |
| leftyfb | Soni: you were also sure you didn't need the log directory like the error log told you, that you didn't believe | 00:14 |
| leftyfb | Soni: also, please watch the language | 00:14 |
| sarnold | hm. why did certbot run with enough privileges to change the directory owner? | 00:14 |
| Soni | sarnold: because it does that | 00:14 |
| Soni | I followed the official guide | 00:14 |
| Soni | yes I realize the official guides often include "curl | sh" at some point | 00:15 |
| Soni | anyway it was probably because I hit ^C on the certbot expand certificate screen | 00:18 |
| hexhaxtron | Hi! I did add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly and then apt-get update but when I do apt-get install kodi-game* nothing is installed... However those packages exist. What's should I do? | 00:19 |
| hexhaxtron | *What | 00:19 |
| sarnold | without looking, I'm going to guess it's the * | 00:19 |
| leftyfb | hexhaxtron: what version of ubuntu? | 00:19 |
| hexhaxtron | leftyfb, Ubuntu Disco | 00:20 |
| leftyfb | hexhaxtron: does this return anything? apt-cache search kodi-game | 00:21 |
| hexhaxtron | leftyfb, no, nothing. | 00:22 |
| leftyfb | hexhaxtron: doesn't sound like the repo has been added. Or you're not running Ubuntu 19.04 proper | 00:23 |
| hexhaxtron | leftyfb, apt-get update shows: Hit:5 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly/ubuntu disco InRelease | 00:23 |
| Soni | so, using ^C to cancel out of certbot causes it to eat /var/log, I think | 00:24 |
| Soni | I don't wanna try that again because it was a pain to fix | 00:24 |
| Soni | yeah sure I know what I need to do to fix it now, but still. I just spent 2 hours fixing it :/ | 00:24 |
| sarnold | hexhaxtron: here's the packages i see in that ppa for disco http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Bzcm434sx7/ | 00:25 |
| Soni | how do I make sshd and PAM stop logging failed logins? | 00:26 |
| WhatTheDilly | maybe address the problem of there being a lotof failed login attempts instead? :p | 00:46 |
| conr | if i hard code DNS addresses in the IPv6 tab of a Connection Manager profile, what does Automatic ON/OFF do? | 00:50 |
| leftyfb | Soni: you should not stop logging. You should lock down your public server. Change the ssh port, use key auth only and use fail2ban | 00:51 |
| TJ- | Soni: but SSH behind/inside a VPN | 01:21 |
| vaejovis | Hey how's it going? I just installed ubuntu 19.04. I have a lenovo thinkpad l390 yoga. my right click will not function even after using gnome-tweaks and gnome-tweak-tools | 01:38 |
| OerHeks | vaejovis sounds like your fix https://askubuntu.com/a/1147004 | 01:46 |
| vaejovis | thank you very much | 01:48 |
| vaejovis | I will try that | 01:48 |
| vaejovis | yep that definitely worked | 01:53 |
| vaejovis | thanks again | 01:53 |
| OerHeks | vaejovis, have fun! | 01:53 |
| vaejovis | I haven't used linux in like 8 years or so | 01:53 |
| vaejovis | I can't believe my touch screen worked on a fresh install | 01:54 |
| brendantcc | such surprisement | 01:54 |
| OerHeks | yes, ubuntu starts getting boring .. | 01:55 |
| OerHeks | :-D | 01:55 |
| Kyoku | And I can't believe my disk password gets bypassed somehow. It's really freaking me out. | 01:55 |
| Kyoku | luksDump shows only one slot, the one that's supposed to be there | 01:55 |
| OerHeks | Kyoku, i read that in #Kubuntu too | 01:55 |
| OerHeks | if you can repeat this behaviour, surely worth a bugreport | 01:57 |
| Kyoku | yep, i'm not doing a thing on that box for the rest of the week, just gonna see if it repeats | 01:57 |
| OerHeks | it happened before, continuously hitting enter or something like that.. but the real problem was that the encrypted volume was not unlocked | 01:57 |
| Kyoku | i'm even setting up my Canon 77d in timelapse mode to record the screen | 01:58 |
| brendantcc | Kyoku: what are you using for disk encryption? | 01:58 |
| OerHeks | i understand yours does | 01:58 |
| === zbenjamin is now known as Guest36022 | ||
| === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin | ||
| vaejovis | how does one submit a change to documentation? I had an undocumented UEFI issues while installing | 01:58 |
| Kyoku | brendantcc i used the Kubuntu 19.04 option for fde | 01:58 |
| Kyoku | during install | 01:58 |
| brendantcc | š¤ | 01:58 |
| Kyoku | checked luksDump to ensure no other key added | 01:59 |
| brendantcc | try accessing the disk thru something like Puppy Linux, and see if it's actually encrypted (i don't know...) | 02:00 |
| OerHeks | vaejovis, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam, not sure #ubuntu-doc is the best way, i suggest to write to the mailinglist | 02:00 |
| Kyoku | it was a fresh install and only two things i put on it were https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fishovkun%2FSierraBreeze&v=uyz4-KZOzyI&event=video_description&redir_token=ZrYFdcrYhVdjijKWOL2u5gwFgxZ8MTU1OTc4NjQyMEAxNTU5NzAwMDIw and VirtualBox | 02:00 |
| Kyoku | oops | 02:01 |
| Kyoku | sorry | 02:01 |
| Kyoku | https://github.com/ishovkun/SierraBreeze | 02:01 |
| Kyoku | so it's possible this SierraBreeze is malicious but I think very unlikely | 02:01 |
| vaejovis | I'll try. there is a known bug but none of the documentation material shows the solution which I found on a seperate post. | 02:01 |
| vaejovis | and finding logs is impossible because once you fix it you're able to install | 02:02 |
| vaejovis | I take that back I could run a live cd and reproduce but I don't know what to look for | 02:02 |
| OerHeks | oh, surely worth mentioning, such decoration can do a lot of funny stuff, but leaving encrypted inlog and come back and see the desktop-login, is weird. | 02:02 |
| OerHeks | weird if the volume is unencrypted | 02:02 |
| Kyoku | yeah and i'm 100% certain i left it sitting at the disk password prompt because i had forgotten the password | 02:03 |
| Kyoku | i finished setting up KDE, did a reboot and left it there | 02:04 |
| hello_kitty | I have these game services named instance1 through instance24. Sometimes they crash and I want to read their logs... but I have so many of them and no real reporting in place. Is there a command that I can run to find services that have been restarted within a certain window of time? For example systemctl status instance10.service returns a bunch of information including a line like active (running) datestuff 5m ago | 02:22 |
| hello_kitty | I feel like there is some clever command that can probably find the ones that have been autorestarted within the last day or so | 02:23 |
| TJ- | hello_kitty: are these systemd service jobs? | 02:35 |
| OerHeks | journalctl -u nginx.service ## journalctl -u nginx.service --since today ## journalctl --since 09:00 --until "1 hour ago" | 02:35 |
| OerHeks | something like that? | 02:35 |
| TJ- | hello_kitty: what you you mean by restarted though? Do you mean the service executable fails and systemd restarts it, and you want to track that? | 02:38 |
| hello_kitty | TJ-: yea they are systemd services. And yes I have them set to autorestart. But there are many of them so rather than typing all of their names one by one and seeing if they have been active for a suspicious short amount of time, I'd like to find them in a more automated fashion | 02:41 |
| TJ- | hello_kitty: make it easy on yourself; make each service record when it starts. Add this to your service template: ExecStartPost=/bin/sh -c '/bin/date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S >>var/log/instance_%i.log' | 02:46 |
| TJ- | hello_kitty: as you likely know the %i will be replaced by systemd with the instance name | 02:48 |
| hello_kitty | TJ-: i've never used a command like that. If my services are named things like instance22.service, can i just make it %.log? | 02:49 |
| hello_kitty | %1.log * | 02:49 |
| hello_kitty | whoops lol | 02:49 |
| sarnold | %i not %1 | 02:49 |
| TJ- | hello_kitty: I assumed you have a instance@.service template and then have created multiple named services from it | 02:49 |
| hello_kitty | yeah, there's one: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Qv7SnGQN6H/ | 02:50 |
| TJ- | e.g. instance@01.service, instance@02.service. In which case those '01' and '02' replace the %i in the command | 02:50 |
| hello_kitty | or rather the template for all of them (48 so far..) | 02:50 |
| TJ- | hello_kitty: right, so you just need to add the suggested ExecStartPost= to the [Service] section of the template (test it first of course because I haven't!) make sure it doesn't break your services starting or restarting, and the log files are correctly created and updated if you restart a service | 02:52 |
| hello_kitty | TJ-: i'm trying to work with that command a bit more. It certainly works when executed manually, but not when part of a service. | 03:07 |
| hello_kitty | i was reading that maybe it has something to do with missing a shell context (though not 100% sure what means) | 03:07 |
| hello_kitty | maybe this is entirely unrelated, but they're working on a command like ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/zsh -c 'pgrep process_name > /var/run/process_name.pid' | 03:08 |
| hello_kitty | Failed to restart instance22.service: Unit instance22.service has a bad unit file setting. See system logs and 'systemctl status instance22.service' for details. Let me paste the actual service file one sec | 03:10 |
| hello_kitty | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t59rgYFMCx/ checking that status command only says "Loaded: bad-setting (Reason: Unit instance22.service has a bad unit file setting.)" | 03:12 |
| TJ- | hmmm | 03:13 |
| hello_kitty | maybe if i could open that systemlog from being unable to create the service unit file? i'm nto sure where that is tho | 03:14 |
| TJ- | hello_kitty: what does "systemctl cat instance22.service" show ? | 03:16 |
| hello_kitty | TJ-: sorry was trying a few variants. I've got this now https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BSqXp7zr7n/ from cat | 03:22 |
| hello_kitty | and no error being displayed on restart | 03:22 |
| hello_kitty | no log file either, if i'm looking for a log file called instance22 | 03:23 |
| hello_kitty | does it have the permissions to make that log file? b/c my user doesn't appear to be able to make stuff in /var/log | 03:23 |
| TJ- | ahhh! this is a --user service, not system? | 03:25 |
| TJ- | in which case write to a different directory where the user has permissions :) | 03:25 |
| hello_kitty | ty TJ- :D | 03:52 |

| Thr0r | Hi. I got this command from someone in here the other day and: "inxi -Fxz" shows: Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 6280.0 C mobo: N/A gpu: radeon temp: 65 C Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A. 6280.0 C is terribly hot and the Fan Speeds are not showing.. Anything I can do to fix this so it show correct? Drivers? (Asus X53Z and ubuntu studio 19,04). I'm new to linux so be kind..... | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Thr0r: inxi cant always grab the fan speeds | 05:15 |
| guiverc | Thr0r, if it were 6280.o C. many times the melting temp of silicon you'd have a problem.. the high temperature is obviously wrong (at 100oC many cpus turn themselves off anyway) | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | Thr0r: for your heating, you can look into your bios for fan control, or try some snaps: fancon or cpufreq | 05:16 |
| Bashing-om | Thr0r: Just out of curiosity - does ` cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp ` give you a true temp ? | 05:18 |
| Thr0r | Ok, thanks. I'll have a look. My Thinkpad T400 shows almost correct info.. And thanks to you guiverc: for pointing out that the info is obviously wrong.. | 05:19 |

This is what "sudo usermod -s /bin/bash ${whoami}" I see that executing $ whoami returns the correct result. What do I do to set zsh to the default? | 05:22 |

| plongshot | I thought zsh was it's own (standalone) product. When I do Help > About it still shows "Gnome Shell" Did the install mess up or something? | 05:49 |
| plongshot | last command run was to set zsh as default | 05:51 |
| plongshot | so zsh doesn't have "history" (the normal commands)? | 05:51 |
| plongshot | what is this thing? | 05:51 |
| ryuo | plongshot: zsh is a shell not a terminal. | 05:52 |
| ryuo | plongshot: it's an alternative to BASH. | 05:52 |
| plongshot | oh jesus! | 05:52 |
| plongshot | what have I done? | 05:52 |
| plongshot | so any of the normal command work? | 05:52 |
| plongshot | less, ls, grep, find, cd | 05:52 |
| plongshot | the normal shit | 05:52 |
| ryuo | it's a different shell but external commands should still function the same. | 05:53 |
| plongshot | thank God. It works the same | 05:53 |
| plongshot | I tried some stuff | 05:53 |
| plongshot | that freaked me bad bro | 05:53 |
| ryuo | ZSH is different but it still supports a POSIX Subset. | 05:53 |
| plongshot | yeah. | 05:54 |
| plongshot | Well /bin and /usr/bin didn't change | 05:54 |
| ryuo | what did you think zsh was? | 05:54 |
| ryuo | all it would change is your interface to the system, really. | 05:54 |
| plongshot | an entirely new terminal such that when I pressed <ctrl> + <alt> + T I would get an brand new application launch | 05:55 |
| plongshot | yes | 05:55 |
| plongshot | the history just didn't carry over from prior to install so I didn't recognize what I saw (like 4 lines of output). | 05:55 |
| plongshot | :) | 05:55 |
| ryuo | of course not. that history is specific to BASH. | 05:55 |
| plongshot | sadly :( | 05:56 |
| ryuo | stored in .bash_history | 05:56 |
| plongshot | but I'll live :) | 05:56 |
| plongshot | This is gonna be neat ( a new shell ) | 05:56 |
| ryuo | eh, maybe not. i just use old reliable (BASH). | 05:56 |
| plongshot | Been with it for the entire time (started w/ linux in aabout 2010). | 05:57 |
| ryuo | sounds like you haven't spent much time underneath the GUI. | 05:58 |
| plongshot | Never thought about changing but I don't like a lot about gnome terminal | 05:58 |
| plongshot | not as much time as I'd like | 05:58 |
| plongshot | I want to focus in other (certain) areas but I can't afford to pay expert for all the other areas. I end up having to do it all or get nothing. | 05:58 |

| _Zaphod_ | specifically it needs to boot from bios only and uefi only systems. :) | 07:43 |
| lotuspsychje | Yuki__: try #freenode | 07:43 |
| _Zaphod_ | if this can't be done without repartitioning, then is there some sort of usb boot manager that can do UEFI boots off a GPT disk? | 07:44 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: one for you ^ | 07:44 |
| EriC^^ | _Zaphod_: install grub-pc temporarily it should write the mbr | 07:45 |
| _Zaphod_ | install it to what? the uefi gpt drive that doesn't have a bios boot parition? | 07:48 |
| _Zaphod_ | or to the teeny usb drive i wish to use ot do the handoff? | 07:48 |

| _Zaphod_ | what i did was i pulled an ssd fomr a laptop, and used another laptop +unetbootin to install a uefi ubuntu to the ssd. but of couse it wont' boot when put back into the laptop whihc has not uefi. | 07:51 |
| _Zaphod_ | i have the unetbootin stick, can i use its' live linux to fix this without loosign data? | 07:52 |
| sudo-dirk | hi, i recently changed tu ubuntu budgie. using kodi, playing a dvd, the menus are very slow. | 07:53 |
| sudo-dirk | is there a place to past a log for inspection? | 07:53 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: lets have some details first, like budgie version, graphics card? kernel version? pc specs? | 07:54 |
| sudo-dirk | OS: Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64 | 07:54 |
| sudo-dirk | Kernel: 5.0.0-16-generic | 07:55 |
| _Zaphod_ | hmm. "this kernel required an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU." | 07:55 |
| _Zaphod_ | never mind. lol. | 07:55 |
| sudo-dirk | GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500 | 07:55 |
| sudo-dirk | GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 840M | 07:55 |
| __raven__ | (x)ubuntu 19.04 is causing some issues on an "acer e5 573" probably due to missing firmware. missing volume fn key function, sudden freezes, black screen/crashed light locker, too small range of backlight adjustment and such. any assistance welcome :) | 07:55 |
| sudo-dirk | Budgie Version 0.8.3 - Budgie Desktop 10.5-0ubuntu1.1 | 07:58 |
| _Zaphod_ | i was able to use unetbootin to boot the uefi, but the kernel wasn't compatible anyway. :) | 07:59 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: is your nvidia driver installed correctly? | 07:59 |
| sudo-dirk | lotuspsychje: I use the recommended driver metapackage nvidia-driver-418 | 08:00 |
| sudo-dirk | lotuspsychje: how can i find out if there are problems? nothing visible, but this is not what you need to know^^ | 08:01 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: is your nvidia card set to performance mode? | 08:02 |
| EriC^^ | _Zaphod_: yeah if you're using gpt you need a bios-boot, any 1M will do | 08:03 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: you can check that in nvidia-settings | 08:04 |
| sudo-dirk | lotuspsychje: i am already in that dialog and searching for the information | 08:04 |
| sudo-dirk | In Prime Profiles I see NVIDIA (Performance Mode) checked | 08:05 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: ok, thats good | 08:05 |
| sudo-dirk | lotuspsychje: The preferred Mode is "Auto" | 08:07 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: it depends of your needs, as kodi will play alot of movies, best to use your nvidia card | 08:07 |
| sudo-dirk | lotuspsychje: The Performance-Level change from 0 to 2 | 08:08 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: not really sure yet what lags your dvd playing.. | 08:08 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: you have an ssd? how much ram? | 08:08 |
| sudo-dirk | The playing is okay it is just an issue with the menues | 08:08 |
| sudo-dirk | lotuspsychje: ssd: yes ram: 8G | 08:09 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: yeah should be plenty to run smooth | 08:09 |
| sudo-dirk | lotuspsychje: Memory: 927MiB / 7862MiB | 08:09 |
| lotuspsychje | sudo-dirk: maybe you can try running kodi from a terminal, and also open a tail -f /var/log/syslog and see what happens when you play with the menu's | 08:10 |

| leftyfb | Soni: you love making pretty inaccurate statements. I'm going to guess you have that false assumption with fail2ban due to an issue you personally ran into that was completely not your fault in anyway | 12:05 |
| === gdb_ is now known as gdb | ||
| Soni | leftyfb: I don't trust it to not lock me out | 12:06 |
| hggdh | Soni: by the way, please mind your language | 12:07 |
| leftyfb | Soni: so you don't trust it because you don't know how to use it? You do know there's a whitelist for it right? | 12:07 |
| leftyfb | Soni: also, as far as ssh goes, if you're using ssh keys like I suggested, fail2ban has no way of locking you out due to an invalid password authentication | 12:08 |
| Soni | leftyfb: I'd rather just ignore the failed logins, because as long as they're failing everything is fine | 12:09 |

| rud0lf | hi. my problem is as follows: i have new laptop with windows 7 installed (on primary and only SSD). i want to swap this disk with second one to install ubuntu on, and put windows disk in second disk socket (because second socket is SATA II)... my laptop uses uefi. so my question is, will installed ubuntu detect the other disk and add windows to grub? | 12:21 |
| rud0lf | i'm not a newbie but i'm completely lost when it comes to various installation configurations | 12:21 |
| leftyfb | rud0lf: I would suggest removing the Windows drive during the Ubuntu installation. When the install is done, put the Windows drive back in and set it as secondary boot to the Ubuntu drive. Within Ubuntu, run update-grub. Ubuntu should add Windows. Though, you should also just be able to make your selections through the UEFI menus at boot. | 12:23 |
| ioria | rockyfelle, try with /bin/bash (not /bin/sh) | 12:24 |
| rud0lf | thank you | 12:24 |
| hggdh | Suny: a time-out means a TCP connection could not be established. This *may* mean you are firewalls in between the two machines (the SSH client and the SSH server) and the firewall(s) is(are) blocking the traffic | 12:25 |
| oddcoder | hello | 12:26 |
| oddcoder | I tried installing binutils-dbgsym | 12:26 |

| oddcoder | (not that bash-dbgsym is found so the repos should be setup properly) | 12:26 |
| oddcoder | what might I be doing wrong | 12:26 |
| oddcoder | also thought that maybe it is called | 12:26 |
| oddcoder | binutils-`uname-p`-dbgsym | 12:27 |
| oddcoder | but still no lock | 12:27 |
| oddcoder | luck* | 12:27 |

| oddcoder | yes I have the repository setup | 12:27 |
| oddcoder | that is the problem | 12:27 |
| oddcoder | I verified by trying to install bash-dbgsym and it *did* work perfectly | 12:28 |
| oddcoder | but can | 12:28 |
| oddcoder | can't* find symbols for binutils | 12:28 |
| hggdh | oddcoder: oh, OK. | 12:28 |
| oddcoder | quick googling shows that packages are called after their respective arch | 12:29 |
| hggdh | oddcoder: binutils has a non-intuitive naming | 12:29 |
| oddcoder | like binutils-avr-dbgsym or binutils-msp430-dbgsym | 12:29 |
| oddcoder | hggdh: so what is the naming ? | 12:29 |
| oddcoder | this is my uname -a | 12:30 |
| hggdh | oddcoder: what you want is (for example) binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu-dbg | 12:30 |

| akemlenovo | Hey TJ-, do you have some time to look at my memleak problem? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15ijmYNmm5ceOXbr4hx4E21KsdEdkHcuG | 12:50 |
| TJ- | akemlenovo: sure | 12:51 |
| TJ- | akemlenovo: can you pastebin "sudo lspci -vvvnnk" | 12:54 |
| TJ- | akemlenovo: I think you need to open a bug report if you haven't already and attach some of these files so we can get the kernel developers looking at in a structured way | 12:55 |
| john_rambo | I type in my username/password on ubuntuforums.org then I get logged in but when I try to post it says I am not logged in ... | 12:55 |
| john_rambo | You do not have permission to perform this action. Please refresh the page and login before trying again. | 12:55 |
| TJ- | akemlenovo: it is looking like the AER *is* causing silent memory gobbling though | 12:56 |
| leonardus | I'm getting screen tearing when youtube videos are in full screen | 12:57 |
| leonardus | RX 580 with whatever drivers were preinstalled | 12:57 |
| akem | Sorry i had to reconnect and install lspci. | 12:59 |
| iffraff | Hi, so I'm having a horrible time getting two montitors to work with my laptop, which has a hybird intel nvidia gpu situation. I've been trying different docks ans none of them will show both monitors at the same time, most of them introduce lag. is there anyway to do this? I'm super exasperated. what about an hdmi splitter? | 12:59 |
| akem | TJ-, i see, here is lspci output https://pastebin.com/E09TanAb | 13:00 |
| akem | TJ-, but i had the same pci aer messages on 17.10 but no memory leaks i could let the computer running for days without reboot. | 13:03 |
| leonardus | also I got this error while installing the AMD driver | 13:03 |
| leonardus | https://gist.github.com/leonardus/b1ff09885c5c694a2327d810d061d187 | 13:03 |
| akem | I used pci=noaer boot parameter too. And i looked a bit into that people have the same log problems but that's about it...I'm curious i'm the only one with this bug. | 13:04 |
| TJ- | akem: the device causing AERs is 00:1d.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:9d1b] (rev f1) -- so we need to see what, if anything, is behind that bridge so show us "lspci -tvvvnn" | 13:04 |
| TJ- | akem: well, there is a kernel MEMLEAK detector we could use, but we'll likely have to build a custom kernel for that. | 13:05 |
| john_rambo | Any ideas? | 13:05 |
| akem | TJ-, https://pastebin.com/Bm2Sz2aE | 13:06 |
| akem | TJ-, Looks like it's a very annoying bug i have :( | 13:06 |
| TJ- | akem: so behind the bridge is Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:b723] | 13:07 |
| akem | TJ-, My Wifi? | 13:07 |
| akem | TJ-, it looks like it works fine here, it wasn't working in previous version i remember the release just after 17.10 i think i couldn't use Wifi i remember on the live USB when i tested, it was not detected. | 13:09 |
| TJ- | akem: right. So here's another test for you. Is it possible to disable that device *in BIOS* overnight and see if the leak continues. If BIOS cannot disable it that won't help us so you forget this idea (unless you can *physically* remove the mini-PCI Wifi card itself! | 13:09 |
| TJ- | akem: but I wouldn't be surprised if this is caused by that mini-PCI adapter not being fitted into the slot correctly and actually causing data errors. It may be soolved simply by re-seating firmly it in the slot | 13:10 |
| TJ- | akem: it isn't unknown for laptops to have these vibrate slightly free of the contacts | 13:10 |
| akem | TJ-, shouldn't i have the same sort of problem on Windows then? | 13:11 |
| akem | TJ-, Cause i have Windows 10 in dual boot and i don't have this kind of problem with it. | 13:12 |
| TJ- | akem: really? I didn't realise that! Then that suggests the PCI bridge is not being set-up correctly. Then you do need to create a specific bug report on this because that definitely points to a bug | 13:14 |
| iffraff | I have a laptop dock connected via thurnderbolt (1 I think ) and I'm getting lag. Where does this lag come from? So I can find one with more band width in this area. | 13:15 |
| TJ- | akem: In windows, have you checked the Event Logs to discover if it is receiving AERs too? | 13:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | iffraff: If you're on thunderbolt 1, I would think the lag is coming from the limitations of the port itself. You may want to verify what port exactly you're connecting to | 13:17 |
| akem | TJ-, nop. | 13:17 |
| iffraff | well, actually I think the device is thunderbolt 1. Is there a command to inspect this? | 13:17 |
| TJ- | akem: it's possible Windows is receiving these AERs too - if we could confirm that it would at least tell us this is unlikely to be a Linux PCI device config issue | 13:18 |
| iffraff | pragmaticenigma: were you helping me the other day with my dual monitor debacle? | 13:18 |
| akem | TJ-, ok, i will look in Windows events logs. | 13:19 |
| akem | TJ-, i sent you a pm. | 13:20 |
| akem | Brb rebooting. | 13:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | iffraff: some of this posting might help you figure out what's in your system and its capabilities. I'm not sure how to determine versioning of ports, other than through speed testing | 13:22 |
| iffraff | pragmaticenigma: which posting? | 13:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | iffraff: https://askubuntu.com/a/985074 | 13:23 |
| iffraff | ah right, thank you :) | 13:24 |
| iffraff | ah this works lspci | grep -i thunder shows thunderport 3 so I'm guessing the device is thunderport 1? and you would suspect that as the bottle neck? | 13:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | iffraff: If the device is thunderbolt 1, that would be where I would think a bottle neck could be occurring. | 13:35 |
| iffraff | crap, I just looked it up and it says thunderbolt 3 too. Does the hrtz of a monitor limit throughput or create lag? my 4k is running at 30 | 13:37 |
| TJ- | iffraff: the monitor supports > 30Hz @ 4K ? | 13:40 |

| shomon | sorry zansystem , no idea. I wonder if the sane project keeps a list of what it supports | 15:12 |
| M_aD | zansystem: since when is Mint supported here? you know they have their own support channel on another network, Spotchat, iirc | 15:20 |
| zansystem | M_aD: no need to be tribal, it's only a question. | 15:25 |
| M_aD | but Mint related, thus it doesn't belong here | 15:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | zansystem: It's not tribal, Linux Mint is not the same as what is found in Ubuntu. They use different repositories and have different packages available for each platform. Just like the Debian channel does not appreciate Ubuntu users asking questions there, we ask that you seek out the appropriate resource for your choosen distribution. They will be better suited to answer and help you with your question | 15:26 |
| zansystem | Very well. Bye then | 15:28 |

| KKring | Good Morning, I have some questions regarding USB ports, first, when I plug my headset into the USB3.0 it causes my keyboard to stop typing, it still lights up but wont type, is this a power draw issue? and Second, I have 3 usb3.0 and 7 usb2.0 but mouse keyboard or headset are not working when plugged in, is there a way to check to see if the ports are working? | 15:50 |
| mgedmin | well, you could look for USB messages in dmesg or run lsusb to see if devices were detected | 15:51 |
| KKring | whn i run lsusb it has a lot of output, does root hub mean anything on them? | 15:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | KKring: does the headset provide its own power supply? | 15:54 |
| KKring | it is a usb bluetooth headset, i am assuming so because it has to be charged, not very good with this stuff sorry | 15:55 |
| leftyfb | KKring: if it's bluetooth, then why do you need to plug it into USB? | 15:56 |
| MrSteve | bluetooth paired? | 15:56 |
| KKring | the headset has a usb part that needs to be plugged in to be detected, guess that just means wireless | 15:57 |

| mgedmin | bluetooth headsets usually have MicroUSB ports for charging | 15:58 |
| mgedmin | while my headset is charging it cannot be used over Bluetooth | 15:59 |
| mgedmin | (my headset also has a 3.5 mm audio jack that works even while it's charging over USB, which is totally irrelevant to anything) | 15:59 |

| ankk | hi. when i open vim on ubuntu gnome, it opens vim via default xterm terminal. i want to use terminology terminal as default for vim | 16:00 |
| ankk | i set shell as terminology but i am not sure it is enough or correct :| | 16:00 |
| KKring | when i plug in the audio jack the headset and keyboard work fine, but when i plug in the usb device for it to work wirelessly my keyboard stops typing | 16:00 |
| KKring | i have tried plugging keyboard into usb2.0 but it wont work | 16:01 |
| KKring | ill have to find a way to check to see if the 2.0s are working or not | 16:01 |
| mgedmin | ankk: I'm like 95% sure this can be changed with sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator | 16:01 |
| ankk | mgedmin: i changed it and ctrl+alt+t opens that terminal but when i open vim via gnome, it opens previous terminal | 16:02 |

| mgedmin | shows that on _my_ system it's using x-terminal-emulator, like I thought | 16:06 |
| mgedmin | strangely this option was removed from gnome-control-center and never got added to gnome-tweaks so you can only set it from dconf-editor (or gsettings set ...) | 16:06 |
| akemlenovo_ | KKring, your keyboard is wireless too? | 16:07 |
| mgedmin | (dconf dump confirms that I never changed that option, so it shoul dbe using x-terminal-emulator on every ubuntu install by default) | 16:07 |
| MrSteve | Gnome-Terminal is what it should use ... it's default. | 16:08 |

| gamester | Hello. At some point I installed the non-ubuntu gnome desktop. Now I'm trying to remove it without removing ubuntu, with difficulty. Is there a package name that encompasses all of the ubuntu gnome things that ubuntu ships with? | 16:48 |
| ioria | gamester, what is 'the non-ubuntu gnome desktop' ? | 16:49 |
| === Guest47985 is now known as Natkeeran | ||
| gamester | ioria: If you install 'gnome' then on login you get "ubuntu" and you get "gnome". Obviously both are gnome. | 16:49 |

| OerHeks | adding a desktop is easy, removing one is interesting.. non-ubuntu desktop? | 16:50 |

| sruli | TJ-: doesnt seem to run | 16:50 |
| TJ- | sruli: is /usr/local/sbin in PATH ? | 16:50 |

| TJ- | sruli: what doesn't work? do you not see the test messages? | 16:52 |
| sruli | TJ-: i dont see the rule in /etc/iptables/rules.v4 also the test message is not showing | 16:53 |
| leftyfb | sruli: type -a iptables | 16:53 |
| sruli | leftyfb: # type -a iptables iptables is /usr/local/sbin/iptables iptables is /sbin/iptables | 16:54 |
| leftyfb | sruli: going forward, you should use pastebin for these sorts of outputs | 16:54 |
| sruli | true, sorry | 16:54 |
| ioria | gamester, the 'rule' is that you remove / purge the main package you installed and then run apt autoremove | 16:54 |
| TJ- | sruli: you could add "set -x" to the beginning to ensure the script is executing. I assume you're calling it with "sudo iptables ...." so ensure /usr/local/sbin/ is in the PATH "sudo which -a iptables" | 16:55 |
| sruli | TJ-: i am testing it as root, i might be doing this wrong, to use this do i need to add the rule using this script "/usr/local/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT" | 16:57 |
| TJ- | sruli: no, just "iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT" as per normal. If /usr/local/sbin/ is in the PATH then the script should pick that up and pass the args to the real iptables | 16:59 |
| TJ- | sruli: it won't matter you're using its absolute pathname though | 16:59 |
| sruli | TJ-: tried with set -x i also attach a "touch /tmp/file" doesnt execute it | 16:59 |

| ksbalaji | ioria, Yes its wayland | 19:32 |
| TJ- | ncollins: the other possibility is " ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ " | 19:32 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, if you really want 'sudo xhost si:localuser:root'; but i suggest ubuntu on xorg | 19:33 |
| ncollins | yep, they're different in /dev/disk/by-path/ | 19:33 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, Also, it seems I don't have any other choice than wayland, | 19:33 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, what ? | 19:33 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, how to switch to any other session please? The effort fails. | 19:35 |
| OerHeks | synaptic (0.84.3) [ Michael Vogt ] fix user-mode synaptic to not crash under wayland https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=synaptic | 19:35 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, from the login screen | 19:35 |
| OerHeks | should be fixed long time ago | 19:35 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, from the login screen, I am unable to login to any other session than wayland.. | 19:36 |
| OerHeks | login, click username, then the change icon appears | 19:36 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, not the default behaviour | 19:36 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, Maybe, installation problem. But How to find out please? | 19:36 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, find out what ? | 19:37 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, anyways, try to create a new user | 19:37 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, find out: Whether any other session is available for me to login? | 19:38 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, ubuntu 18.04 gives you 2 choices : 1) (default) ubuntu on xorg and 2) wayland | 19:39 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, create a new user | 19:39 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, how to find xorg is properly installed for me please? | 19:40 |
| === Thargoid is now known as stwalkerster | ||
| ioria | ksbalaji, dpkg -l | grep xorg | 19:41 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, but it should not be a problem .... | 19:41 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, ok . . That command gave 20 lines output! I shall try creating new user also. | 19:42 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, paste it please | 19:42 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, I wish that I can login with my user name instead of creating multiple user names. | 19:43 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, paste it please | 19:44 |
| ksbalaji | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TnmbmcdHSx/ | 19:45 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, is that un upgrade from xenial 16.04 ? | 19:46 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, Yes I remember so. | 19:46 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, uname -r | 19:47 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, 4.15.0-45-generic | 19:48 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 19:48 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, i suspect a bad ugrade from xenial | 19:50 |
| ksbalaji | ioria, Its doing something. something error popping up. let me see... | 19:51 |
| ioria | ksbalaji, sy, i'am leaving .... hope you solve it | 19:51 |
| ksbalaji | I think ioria is right. someone might help with a bad upgrade. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TgGRPYxngM/ | 19:54 |
| hggdh | ksbalaji: why are you installing i386 and amd64 versions of the same binary? | 19:56 |
| hggdh | ksbalaji: google-android-build-tools-installer:i386 (already installed) has a file called /usr/bin/aidl; the new package is trying to overwrite it | 19:58 |
| ksbalaji | hggdh, Maybe you got it. Which one do I choose and how to ditch the other one please? | 20:01 |
| ksbalaji | hggdh, would this routine help eliminating double versions? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QgkkHbpKcX/ | 20:04 |
| OerHeks | remove google-android-build-tools-installer if you don't need it | 20:05 |
| OerHeks | there is android studio as snap available https://snapcraft.io/android-studio | 20:06 |
| ksbalaji | OerHeks, OK I don't need this google tools installer. I am removing this., | 20:12 |
| Dodek | hey, openssl package in ubuntu 18.04 supports only a rather limited set of ciphers. is there some other package that adds extra ciphers, or do i need to recompile openssl manually? | 20:36 |
| ankk | Dodek: https://superuser.com/questions/1179309/how-to-enable-3des-ssl-ciphers-for-openssl-1-0-2k | 20:38 |
| Dodek | ankk: this post tells me that recompiling manually is a solution, but i've already known that. | 20:39 |
| ankk | he didn't get answer since 2017. maybe you shouldn't wait too much | 20:46 |
| Dodek | either way, i just learned that it's not because the cipher i wanted to use hasn't been compiled in, but rather because it was removed in more recen version | 20:48 |
| Dodek | and that's because it never actually worked in the first place, and was listed in supported ciphers erroneously | 20:48 |
| Dodek | anyway, thanks | 20:48 |
| ankk | she is angry about that | 20:49 |
| Thr0r | Hi! I have 4 workspaces on my buntu. Is there a way to display all 4 at the same time on one monitor? I have a 58" monitor and I want to see all workspaces in a "split view" | 21:06 |
| akem | Hey, i want to run a boot script as root for normal boot, should i create the symbolic link in rc2.d or rc3.d, i'm not sure? | 21:15 |
| xamithan | Do a systemd unit file instead | 21:15 |
| akem | xamithan, is it not too complicated? cause it's just for one line to set the fan speed to the max. | 21:17 |
| TJ- | Thr0r: you'd need to use a window-manager that supports multiple workspaces in that way | 21:17 |
| xamithan | It's pretty easy, or if you want just throw the path to script in /etc/rc.local | 21:20 |
| xamithan | rc3.d/rc2.d etc it depends on what runlevel you are starting in | 21:20 |
| Thr0r | TJ-: Ok - I have two window managers: "Window Manager" and "Window Manager Tweaks". None of them seems to do what I want. Suggestions? | 21:22 |
| akem | xamithan, i'm in front of some systemd doc, it looks more complicated to setup...I'll try the /etc/rc.local first thanks. | 21:24 |
| TJ- | Thr0r: that isn't the kind of window manager I meant; the layout of application windows are managed by a ... "window manager" and there are a LOT of them and their names usually end with "wm" | 21:25 |
| greenstatic | anyone knows why http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ contains the directory ubuntu which points to the same dir thereby causing an infinite loop? | 21:26 |
| TJ- | Thr0r: for example, to get a rough list of what Ubuntu has in the archives do "apt list '*wm' " | 21:26 |
| Thr0r | TJ-: Ok - I was thinking I should not bother folks in here with such an easy Q, but it seems it is more to it than just; Click that and choose that.. Thanks - I will have to have a look then. What I want is to be able to view all workspaces at once and the go to the one where something is happening when it does, or some work is finished. I do alot at the same time... | 21:31 |
| TJ- | Thr0r: yes, that's where multi-monitors come in useful :) | 21:33 |
| Thr0r | TJ-: Yes! - and I used to have 3 physical and want to narrow it down to one big one with several workspaces - Small Flat here :) | 21:35 |
| Lope | I'm having trouble mounting a windows 10 share from ubuntu 18.04 | 21:40 |
| Lope | mount -t cifs //192.168.x.y/Z /mnt/foo/ -o username=john,password=secret,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000 | 21:40 |
| Lope | permission denied | 21:40 |
| TJ- | Lope: as root, or using 'sudo' ? | 21:42 |
| Lope | TJ-, as root | 21:43 |
| Lope | sudo better? | 21:43 |
| TJ- | Lope: no, I just wanted to be clear | 21:43 |
| TJ- | check the kernel log for clues as to what object "permission denied" refers to. It could be the remote share or it could be the local mountpoint | 21:44 |
| Lope | I already set the local mountpoint to 777 and owned by nobody:nogroup | 21:44 |
| TJ- | Lope: look for clues with "journalctl -b -p warning" | 21:45 |
| Lope | in windows I gave the user full control, and also went into the security tab and gave full access there too | 21:45 |
| ChadTaljaardt | Hello, I am trying ubuntu 19.04 without installing it but the monitor is rotated 180 degrees | 21:46 |
| TJ- | Lope: also, try adding "--verbose" before the "-o ..." | 21:46 |
| ChadTaljaardt | any idea how i can fix this with the terminal? | 21:46 |
| TJ- | ChadTaljaardt: "xrandr -output XXXX --rotate inverted" where XXXX is the output listed by "xrandr" | 21:47 |
| Lope | TJ-, no more info from verbose | 21:47 |
| ChadTaljaardt | ill give it a try TJ- | 21:47 |
| TJ- | ChadTaljaardt: if you're using SSH you'll need to prefix that with "DISPLAY=:0 ..." | 21:48 |
| TJ- | Lope: you could run the command wrapped with strace to see where the -ENOPERM is being returned, as in "strace -f -o /tmp/mount.strace.log mount ...." then examine (or pastebin) /tmp/mount.strace.log | 21:49 |
| WiseMonk | Hello, I have a question, when using the command "festival --tts <(echo "hello test") " I get an audio output, but when using: "festival --tts /dev/stdin" and the typing + pressing enter, I get no audio. Why and how to make it work? | 21:51 |
| WiseMonk | !"" | 21:51 |
| TJ- | WiseMonk: "man festival" tells us you just do "festival --tts" to have it read from stdin | 21:53 |
| TJ- | WiseMonk: "--tts Synthesize text in files as speech no files means read from stdin (implies no interaction by default)" | 21:54 |
| Lope | TJ-, thanks buddy! I figured it out | 21:54 |
| TJ- | Lope: what was it? | 21:54 |
| Lope | it's because I'm trying to mount it from inside a LXC container | 21:54 |
| TJ- | Lope: doh! | 21:54 |
| Lope | just goes to show that a container can't do everything properly. | 21:54 |
| Lope | Cos cifs is kernel stuff | 21:55 |
| TJ- | Lope: unprivileged container I presume? | 21:55 |
| Lope | https://serverfault.com/questions/416083/mount-error13-permission-denied-only-in-lxc-container-for-cifs-samba-share | 21:55 |
| Lope | TJ-, yes! | 21:55 |
| TJ- | Lope: make the container privileged | 21:55 |
| Lope | the strace helped me think of it | 21:55 |
| Lope | Because I saw errors like: connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) | 21:55 |
| Lope | Not that I understand exactly what that means, but the container couldn't find something to setup some kind of socket | 21:55 |
| TJ- | right, ENOENT means Error No Entry (e.g. /var/run/nscd/socket isn't there) | 21:56 |
| Lope | TJ-, hmm, I COULD make the container privledged, but the whole point is to give someone SSH access to be able to upload files to the windows VM | 21:56 |
| Lope | And I don't want the SSH account to be privledged. | 21:57 |
| Lope | my girlfriend says ENOENT sometimes | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Lope: if you're using LXC I think you can configure the mount itself from outside the container as part of its config | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Lope: are you using lxc or lxd ? | 21:57 |
| TJ- | Lope: sounds like lxd (with the 'lxc' command, confusing or what!) | 21:57 |
| Lope | LXC | 21:57 |
| Lope | yeah, so I'll mount it from the host | 21:58 |
| Lope | then bind it into the unprivledged container | 21:58 |
| Lope | Kind of sucks to have everything on the host | 21:58 |
| Lope | but hey, what u gonna do. | 21:58 |
| TJ- | Lope: could be fun organising the permissions between unpriv-ed and priv-ed though | 21:58 |
| Lope | well, how would it even be possible to bind mount it from one CT to another? | 21:59 |
| TJ- | Lope: if it is a lxd container: https://bayton.org/docs/linux/lxd/mount-cifssmb-shares-rw-in-lxd-containers/ | 21:59 |
| ankk | good night girls | 22:08 |
| bear38 | I think I once saw a package that provided a program that would extract any compressed file extension from the command line -- .tar, .bz2, .xz, etc. Does anyone know what package that was? | 23:10 |

| jeremy31 | bear38: It isn't included anymore? engrampa? | 23:10 |
