[00:05] I have a problem when I boot up Ubuntu I don't see the grub boot option screen I just see a purple screen before it shows the command line booting info [00:06] DGMurdockIII: try holding the shift key down when you boot [00:07] DGMurdockIII: also there is some .conf setting somewhere if you want it permanent. I'm not sure what the right file is [00:07] My pc boots fine its just i dont have nice boot menu [00:08] how long to you want the boot to pause while you enjoy looking at it? ;) [00:08] DGMurdockIII: why do you need a menu? [00:08] is there a way to do a ls in a dir that would count each file and return the number? [00:09] justthedoctor: ls | wc -l [00:09] Leftyfb: I don't but I just like to have thinks working [00:09] thank you [00:09] DGMurdockIII: it's working. If things stop working and you need to get into the menu to fix it, then hold down SHIFT while you boot and the menu will come up [00:10] DGMurdockIII the solution is to set "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" in /etc/default/grub (and do "sudo update-grub") [00:10] justthedoctor: that will count directories as well [00:11] is there a way to do just files? (this specific dir im ls'ing for file count doesnt have dirs but future ref would help) [00:11] Yeah but I had install on this machine before and and when I booted I did not get just a purple screen I got the boot option screen that has a countdown time [00:11] leftyfb: good catch [00:11] DGMurdockIII: how long to you want it to wait? [00:12] DGMurdockIII: again, why do you need it if things are working fine? [00:12] DGMurdockIII: are you asking how to bring it back or are you just complaining about it? [00:13] DGMurdockIII: a good answer is "0.0 as fast as it can" which is what became the default years ago [00:13] justthedoctor: find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l [00:13] leftyfb, he wants to bring it back [00:13] I don't think he really wants it back [00:13] Sveta: "I don't but I just like to have thinks working [00:14] Thank you sarnold [00:14] DGMurdockIII: care to clarify what you would like? [00:15] Just a second [00:15] As I said... [00:15] DGMurdockIII the solution is to set "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" in /etc/default/grub (and do "sudo update-grub") [00:16] TJ-: won't that slow down booting? [00:17] or does it display the menu but not wait? [00:17] CarlFK: it uses text mode, nothing more, instead of trying (and failing) to select a graphics mode [00:24] Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning “I can't configure Debian”.

[01:05] phct, no, the minimal needs internet. [01:05] what can i use instead? alternate? does it contain same drivers as full installer? [01:05] there is no alternate no more, just the mini iso [01:06] phct: why can't you use the regular installer? [01:06] it required wired networking AFAIK [01:08] does any of the other flavours support alternate? [01:09] phct: why can't you use the regular installer? [01:13] In gnome3 is there a way to change the window border color?

It will reappear. How do i check its integrity? i already ran the windows test on it, and its came up fine. But i dont believe it. [01:21] check smart, in disks util, or perform a check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [01:22] smart says ok. Im thinking its overheating, but - i should see some errors. [01:22] and that "disappearing" is what you want. [01:22] my guess is a stupid powersaving thing [01:22] subcool: could it be the usb port you're plugged into might not be powering the drive enough? [01:22] or that [01:23] or wait, a wonky connector? [01:23] its a laptop, ... [01:23] exactly [01:24] Maybe, its plugged into an regular USB spot. It appears i only have one USB that is "powered" - but.. idk. I always have issues with HP.

Because there are a few ways of doing it. [01:29] then again, i really honestly ask you guys than look things up. I tried to setup a Zenbox - googled it. etc. spent 6 months trying to get it to work.

Lack of power could also cause your I/O issues [01:36] yes, ubuntu. [01:36] leftyfb, ive seen it before on my SATA devices if i overload them. ANy to be honest. [01:37] subcool: You had the passport drive issue? Is it the little one with the weird flattish cable that looks like an HDMI on steroids? [01:37] Especially if i run torrent (clean speak) and they are saving to a SATA drive. Im just really good at overloading HDD's and they arent even running at full speed. :( [01:37] kyle__, u mean an Esata? [01:38] No, more the first version of slim usb3. Mostly used on external cases for 2.5" drives. [01:38] OH- you mean the USB-3 original thingy [01:38] * kyle__ ndos nods nods [01:38] yeah... [01:38] thatd be him- 4tb. [01:38] I've had SO many of those cables go bad. Then they start dropping randomly... but it's not more likely under heavy IO than under light, so if IO load is an issue, that's not it. [01:39] hhmmm... [01:39] Do you have the y cable, so it can plug into two USB ports at once? [01:39] (one is just for power, the other is for data, but damned if I can tell the difference without trial and error) === zbenjamin is now known as Guest91571 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:10] hhmmm... [02:10] ops. [02:24] i have a dual boot machine where the win10 partition works fine but the ubuntu 18.04 partition is excruciatingly slow - they're running on a 500 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD - i tried sdd optimizing on the ubuntu partition but have not been able to speed things up [02:29] smart tests don't show any errors [02:29] i guess i can always try a fresh install (what a hassle) [02:54] Is "PowerShell Core" commonly used in the Linux community or do you guys use something else to get things done? [02:59] I'm wondering if I should spend time learning it or something else maybe? [03:02] bash [03:07] xamithan: - bash. Because it is better and does something more than powershell or is it because you just know bash better? [03:08] powershell is a windows thing, even though it is cross compatible [03:08] i use it on occasion, on ubuntu [03:10] xamithan: Ok - I know but I was looking at this : https://github.com/powershell/powershell. I don't really care if it is a windows thing as long as it get things done.. [03:11] Use what you like, I couldn't find anything it could do for me that bash/python couldn't [03:12] ok -thanks for being so helpful.. [03:13] ps really just complements bash. it doesn't 'replace' it [03:16] in my experiance, powershell isn't as flexable as bash. [03:16] I remember butting my head against it trying to get to do something that bash could do in an instant [03:16] puppetmasterFPU: Yes - ok. I'll look into it. Guess you can't do everything in PS but need Bash aswell [03:17] well, powershell works well for basic stuff [03:17] it's the more advanced stuff that it struggles with [03:19] Need some help. Installed ubuntu about 3 days ago. Desktop icons (trash and home) dont open when I click them. If I launch nautilus from the dock, then they open, but nautilus never launches from double clicking the icons. Already tried reinstalling gnome desktop and nautilus, same problem. [03:19] problem started only a couple hours ago [03:20] have you tryed double clicking them? [03:20] oh, sorry [03:20] didn't see what you said [03:21] try starting Nautilus from bash [03:21] Gendie007, the odd part is that if I launch nautilus from the dock, the icons i double clicked on suddenly open. Right clicking and opening with nautilus also opens them. [03:21] Gendie007, opens fine [03:21] ok [03:21] but it's the double clicking that doesn't work? [03:21] correct [03:22] neither does right click open, only right click open with [03:22] do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in bash [03:22] then restart your computer [03:22] Gendie007, done that [03:23] ok, well that's the limit of what i know [03:23] so if you right click the icon's and then click open it works? [03:24] Gendie007, no, only if I click open with and select Files (nautilus) from the list [03:24] running 18.04 LTS [03:24] is the icon on your desktop or your dock? [03:25] not sure if this is relevant, but there's also an option for Open In New Tab and Open in New Window. [03:25] desktop [03:25] dock appears to be fine [03:27] click the show applications buttion on your dock, then click on a program that is also on your desktop and see if that works [03:29] I don't have any shortcuts / icons to programs on my desktop [03:29] wasn't that your problem in the first place, that icons on your desktop weren't responding? [03:29] yes [03:29] icons of folders [03:30] oh, folders [03:30] trash / home / others [03:30] can you right click them and get a pop up minu? [03:30] yes I get the context menu [03:30] can you click open on the context menu? [03:31] yes, it doesn't work [03:31] I also get Open in New Tab and Open in New Window [03:31] as options [03:31] those don't work either [03:31] ok, open nautilus on your dock, then look fo those files [03:31] for [03:32] go to other locations, and tell me if you see your home file there [03:33] sorry, home folder [03:33] frome inside nautilus, I cannot see the home or trash folders on my desktop [03:33] well, it seems something happened to them [03:34] When I create a new folder on my desktop, the same thing also happens with them. Can't open [03:34] in other locations, there should be something called computer [03:34] yes [03:34] click that and tell me if you see your home folder [03:34] I do [03:35] click that, then click the folder after it [03:35] It would seem that I can only launch nautilus from the dock and bash [03:36] Gendie007, done, everything is fine [03:36] you fixed it? [03:36] no [03:36] I'm saying that everything appears fine [03:36] when opening that folder [03:36] ok then [03:36] oh, click desktop [03:36] appears empty [03:37] well there's your problem [03:37] currently I only have Home and Trash on my desktop [03:37] I deleted all other links [03:37] If I create one [03:37] it does appear [03:37] but do you have home and trash in your desktop folder? [03:37] no, they don't appear. Only other things that I create [03:38] but those folders also don't open when double clicked [03:38] hmm [03:38] the problem is probably something corrupted the way nautilus is launched [03:38] can you access trash from nautilus? [03:38] yes [03:39] ok, well. sorry, i don't know what the problem is [03:39] That makes two of us [03:39] heh where is trash on the filesystem [03:40] hmm... is it normal for the default application for calendar is text editor? [03:40] the last thing i can think of is the icons on your desktop arn't actually shortcuts anymore [03:41] er, no? [03:41] here's my brilliant theory. Something has corrupted default applications. [03:41] maybe you should back up your files and reinstall ubuntu [03:41] I'd rather not [03:42] well, back up your files anyway, and make sure you reinstall ubuntu if you need to [03:44] make sure you CAN reinstall ubuntu [03:44] all my work is on offsite repos, I just don't want to through the hassle of doing this all over again. [03:45] you may need to, sooner or later [03:45] if your system gets corrupted [03:45] I just installed 3 days ago [03:45] I haven't even installed much of anything other than gnome extensions, node, git and firebasetools and some ides [03:47] well, all i can tell you is save your data and have a spare install disk or usp ready if something worse happens [03:48] boot live usb [03:53] can anyone send me the output of ~/.config/mimeapps.list [03:53] to verify against my own [03:53] mostly the part regarding nautilus would be good [03:53] inode/directory [03:57] this is what i got: bash: /home/aggendie/.config/mimeapps.list: Permission denied [03:57] angell [03:57] run with sudo === [b0b] is now known as b0b [03:59] sudo: /home/aggendie/.config/mimeapps.list: command not found [03:59] greetings, ubuntu. guidance sought. issue: "Gnome-flashback “Applications” menu disappeared" [03:59] i've already tried mv ~[.gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gonfd .metacity] to *.bak, and sudo apt remove gnome-session-flashback and sudo apt install gnome-session-flashback [04:00] Gendie007, sudo nano [04:00] what that on purpose? [04:00] how do i get out? [04:01] i had to close the terminal [04:01] wanting to reset gnome2 application menu to defaults. screenshot available, if that helps [04:01] Gendie007, I just fixed it. I ran a command to reset my desktop to default. [04:01] now to set up all the GD extensions again. [04:02] x64_Bionic_YMMV, test with a newly created OS user [04:04] Sveta, assuming the issue does not persist on new OS user account... what next? I'll have to logoff here to test [04:04] Gendie007, now its broken again. Wtf [04:05] x64_Bionic_YMMV, just re-login back, someone will help you out here [04:05] must be something witht he GD extensions [04:05] Sveta, thanks [04:06] ok [04:07] x64_Bionic_YMMV, you can also switch user [04:07] no need to log out [04:22] Sveta, not sure if my current login is gnome or unity. anyways: new user added via computer/settings/details/users: adduser. trying to figure out how to switch without logging out [04:23] x64_Bionic_YMMV, 'dm-tool switch-to-greeter' in terminal, maybe [04:25] Sveta, figured out how to switch. Application menu on new user looks fine on gnome-flashback (compiz) [04:26] x64_Bionic_YMMV, on this user are you using gnome-flashback (compiz) also? [04:27] Sveta, yes. on login screen i have gnome flashback compiz, gnome flashback metacity, gnome, unity, ubuntu. i normally use one of the gnome flashbacks [04:27] i'm currently logged in on the 'Ubuntu' desktop environment [04:31] x64_Bionic_YMMV, i guess you will need to find what else to rename, pastebinning 'ls -latr ~' could be a bit helpful (it'll list your $HOME contents sorted by date) [04:40] Sveta, alternatively, review ls -algort for the new test user too... see what's different. ugh. was hoping to avoid doing a diff. would rather just run a script that reverts the application menu to defaults, lol [04:40] Sveta, thanks, tho, appreciate the help :) [04:42] x64_Bionic_YMMV, if you want to be really annoying, you can copy a half of your normal user directories over to the new user and check for the issue [04:43] x64_Bionic_YMMV, this is called 'method of half division', it helps to narrow it down a lot faster [04:43] x64_Bionic_YMMV, but you will need to learn to copy (as root potentially) and assign file permissions (also potentially as root0 [04:43] ) [04:43] I would recommend this. But I have a meeting now, I will not be able to help with this immediately. [04:45] Sveta, acknowledged. ttyl [04:45] Ok, thanks === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotus|celery [05:07] anyone knows why http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ contains the directory ubuntu which points to the same dir thereby causing an infinite loop? [05:32] could someone help me with setting up an USB Wlan stick please? [05:32] should be plug n play ravustaj1 [05:32] what's the issue? [05:33] I'm using a SoC, OS is Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. It's a headless machine and was using network-manager. which I'd rather not use [05:34] https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-wqEYzRGm4venvWlTBan60RHw3LRNgDq?usp=sharing [05:34] here's some output from several commands [05:34] are you using SoC linux? [05:35] I meant single board computer or what ever its called. Odroid XU4Q [05:36] ah. got it. [05:36] no expert here, but network manager is the default. why not use that?? [05:37] I also use Raspberry pi and the wlan0 Link X (wlan0) says Current Scopes: LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6 [05:37] while odroid says Current Scopes: none [05:37] I'm talking about "systemd-resolve --status" output [05:39] it is quite terrible imo espesiaclly when used from command line [05:39] that was the answer regarding network-manager [05:39] I'd rather user /etc/network/interfaces , dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant [05:40] OK. [05:40] what exact USB wlan stick is failing? [05:40] it headless machine [05:41] it worked with network-manager, so I doubt the problem is in the USB donge/stick [05:41] ah. OK then [05:46] I'm trying to use checkinstall to create a package for the Rust application neovim-gtk. [05:47] First I was getting an error about cargo not found. So i hardcoded the path of cargo into the Makefile. [05:48] Now I'm getting an error that the nvim-gtk package failed to compile, which is weird because 'make' ran fine and tests completed successfully. [05:48] I thought checkconfig wasn't compiling anything. [05:49] checkinstall rather. [05:50] If anyone has experience with checkinstall, I'd appreciate your advice. [05:50] Croran: we dont really support own compiling here, use the official packages with apt, or try snaps [05:56] greenstatic: perhaps ask in #ubuntu-mirrors [05:56] lotuspsychje: thanks for the heads up!

[05:59] Croran: when you: snap info snap-name, you can see a 'contact' where to place the bugs/contact maintainer [05:59] Croran: when you say "does not work" what do you mean exactly? Does the app start? [05:59] I'm not interested in emailing someone privately. Is there a public issues page? [05:59] nvim-gtk does not start. segmentation faul.t [05:59] sh [05:59] ah [05:59] fault* [06:00] irfanview... as I recall it gives errors when trying to open any file from the file->open menu. [06:00] it's been a few weeks since i tried it. [06:00] Croran: every snap has its own maintainer, there's no general place to put bugs [06:02] details on the segmentation fault here. I'm on 18.04.2. [06:02] https://pastebin.com/LMXfr1uk [06:03] Croran: we dont support the issues of snaps, just explained where to contact [06:03] lotuspsychje:thingfish asked for details. [06:03] Croran: maybe you can try install neovim from apt? [06:04] lotuspsychje:there is no neovim-gtk package for Ubuntu [06:04] snap info nvim-gtk shows: "contact: https://github.com/daa84/neovim-gtk/issues" === _Stifler is now known as Stifler [06:36] well, I switcher back to network-manager and at least it's working now.

[07:45] flughafen: if grub is used, yes - why? [07:45] s/used/installed/ [07:46] ayekat: just curious. ayekat do you mine posting yours? [07:46] why wouldn't grub be installed though? [07:47] flughafen: there are other bootloaders than grub [07:47] flughafen: http://ix.io/1L3k <- this is from a 16.04 machine, I don't think I've modified it [07:48] thank ayekat [07:51] if there was an obvious link from the ubuntu website to the package sources, I'd have linked you to that, but... alas [07:52] yeah, no worries.

I tried sudo lpadmin -p ML2851ND -v dnssd://Samsung%20ML-2850%20Series%20$Laser$._printer._tcp.local/ipp/print -m everywhere [08:01] <__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 :) === ghormoon_ is now known as ghormoon [09:15] can you resize the live usb partition and install to it? [09:15] Disks says it's busy :/ [09:16] realies, whilst it's in use, yes it's busy. it'd be better not to (even if possible) [09:16] lemme try find a spare disk then [09:17] anyway to scale the UI to 150%? [09:17] *any way [09:18] realies, i don't know, but others may need to know what release (gnome, unity desktop etc) you are referring to [09:18] http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04.2/ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso?_ga=2.263569100.1196052358.1559812717-230512305.1559812717 [09:20] I can try 19.04 too [09:20] seems like the better pick https://community.ubuntu.com/t/x11-hidpi-scaling-available-for-testing-on-disco/10293 [09:23] realies, i have no experience with scaling, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/18.04 has some notes about it (and an issue that can be worked around re: install) === rubdos_ is now known as rubdos [09:24] realies, 19.04 has fractional scaling (in 25% increments) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseNotes [09:25] yay [09:40] __raven__: those look like hardware problems [09:41] __raven__: except for backlight adjustement === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [11:52] anyway to do negative scaling? [12:34] Is it possible to change Ubuntu GUI Desktop to TTY1 by default? [12:35] *without uninstall ubuntu-desktop [12:37] i think no, tty is not reserved for a DM [12:37] c/tty1 [12:37] rebab: i think the vt.handoff=7 in the grub kernel line is related to that, not sure, look into it === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [12:40] EriC^^: Where do I find this? [12:43] I found it /etc/grub.d/10_linux It is vt_handoff="1" [12:50] rebab: why do you want it on tty1 instead of tty7? [12:50] hey where can I get a copy of ubuntu in 1080p? [12:50] btw that parameter only shows stuff on the screen quickly so the boot process looks smoother, i dont think it actually switches it [12:51] Optimus_Prime: that doesnt make sense [12:51] Optimus_Prime: you mean you have a 1080p screen and you want to install ubuntu and run that resolution? [12:52] i jst wanna install it on a 1080p operating system [12:52] um, ok [12:53] dw I'll jst buy a max stand for 999 dollars and install it thru the stands boot config [12:53] mac* [12:53] Optimus_Prime: please stop; this is a support channel. /join #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of comment [12:54] Optimus_Prime: are you asking which laptops are 1080p and have ubuntu installed by default? [12:54] EriC^^: it's a snide swipe at Apple Inc's US$$999 monitor stand shown at their WWDC recently, and the fuss over Apple using DMCA to take-down videos of the audience booing it :) === xet7_ is now known as xet7 [12:56] heh, he could have made the joke somewhat coherent, 1080p operating systems and ubuntu iso, i thought he had some disability or drunk/high [12:57] EriC^^: My brother turns on my pc. I want him confused seeing TTY1. [12:57] TJ-: https://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhdX4ZZ3cn6KSPO52B I wouldn't call that a boo. I would call that a complete lack of enthusiasm and confusion. [12:57] rebab: so basically you want that the pc boots to tty1, but not the gui on it right? [12:58] i kind of thought at first you wanted the gui to show up at tty1 instead of tty7 [12:58] rebab: anyways, add 'systemd.unit=multi-user.target' in the grub line and that should boot to a console, from there you can systemctl start lightdm/gdm/etc to start the display manager [12:59] rebab: sudo systemctl disable gdm [12:59] EriC^^: Yes, not GUI. I want to boot TTY1 I'll change it manually. [12:59] in that video "quick keep talking no1 will notice" [12:59] crowds like "lol we has to keep listening cos its apple REEEEE" [13:00] rebab: add 'systemd.unit=multi-user.target" after "quiet splash" in /etc/default/grub then update-grub [13:00] Optimus_Prime: trolling is offtopic here. Please leave. [13:00] Optimus_Prime added to ignore [13:00] EriC^^: that is overkill. Just disable gdm at started [13:01] leftyfb: it's the recommended way online, why overkill? i think that would actually encompass any future dm's he'd install rather than just targeting the current [13:02] rebab: changing vt_handoff= won't affect much if the Display Manager starts it'll switch to its VT anyhow, you need to do what EriC^^ recommended [13:02] is there an actual reason, as in other ubuntu services wont start if he uses that as the target? [13:02] EriC^^: it's overkill for a silly prank on his brother that he's just going to revert [13:03]
