[00:27] Hi, I've been trying to debug an issue with building the dolpin emulator, and I discovered that qt applications in general are displaying completely borked on my screen. Example:https://i.imgur.com/XMsGba1.png [00:27] Amy tips on how to fix this issue? Thanks! [00:28] Sorry, the issue is with running the built emulator, not building it [00:28] VLC (qt) is also not working [00:56] Hello. I'm using ubuntu 19.04. I used to be able to connect to my pc with bluetooth using the a2dp profile. Now, that service doesn't appear any more... anyone have hints on fixing this? [00:59] It only connects for call audio now [00:59] longus_catus: Maybe there is a problem: -> [00:59] longus_catus: "< jeremy31> Anyone know why it is difficult to switch a bluetooth headset from HFP/HSP to A2DP? I usually [00:59] have to use Blueman to disconnect from the device and then reconnect to headset for it to use [00:59] A2DP. It seems to only affect devices with mics and/or volume controls as a simple bluetooth [00:59] speaker pod will use A2DP automatically [00:59] " [01:00] speaker pods have volume controls... [01:00] Thanks, Bashing-om [01:00] Ouch .. forgot that urc has line returms :( [01:00] Bashing-om: Uh... !paste? [01:01] I'll ask it differently... This worked before killing x or something. What services can I restart to make sure ...it's restarted? I cycled bluetooth power, restarted bluetooth service and bluemon too [01:01] I'll try axing pulseaudio [01:01] Eickmeyer: Naw .. not in this bad bad case .. a text ediitor ! === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:07] hello i am trying to debug a program [01:07] and im getting "program" is not responding [01:07] its kinda in the way and keeps showing up :/ [01:08] solidfox: can you just shove that dialog out of the way and leave it there? [01:08] alright, i killed pulseaudio and i restarted /etc/init.d/bluetooth and now it works [01:08] i have a few games that say not responding while they load [01:08] but it only shows once [01:08] if you've suspended a program using a debugger, it will stop responding [01:08] hint: debugging the x server is a fatal idea [01:09] "The biggest mistake you've ever made" [01:09] Oops... "The last mistake you'll ever make" [01:09] um [01:09] no im not debugging the x server [01:09] i need this to work [01:13] And not poppng up that notification would be sufficient? [01:14] yes it keeps popping up and i cant move it, it just stay in the middle of the window [01:16] ew :( [01:16] sarnold: ikr [01:17] never had this problem in kde [01:17] pretty sure that means its actually not responding [01:17] gallomimia: its not.. if i run it without debugging it works find [01:17] still haven't told us what program. we're all just speculating and hoping for the best at this point [01:18] gallomimia: https://github.com/ericshawlinux/aft-game2/tree/LabelRefactor [01:19] rofl "Amazing falling tetromino game" [01:19] sarnold: the original name was tetris-clone2 but tetris is taken [01:20] so let me get this straight... it runs normally. but it hangs when you run it in debug? [01:20] yep. debuggers hang a program. on purpose. [01:20] gallomimia: the problem is the window manager or desktop environment or something is trying to be too clever, and pops up an annoying dialog box [01:20] gallomimia: yeah they're called breakpoints [01:20] yeah.... [01:20] gallomimia: i get this error when i hit a breakpoint [01:20] let's search google [01:21] it shouldnt show up [01:21] because i WANT it to stop [01:22] breakpoints are essential, stopping the program so i can examine what is displayed is needed and also examine memory [01:22] cant see whats displayed with the window there [01:22] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1019086/false-application-not-responding-box-is-creating-havoc-with-gdb [01:22] gallomimia: can you see the deleted answer on that page? [01:22] "Note 3: It appears this has been fixed in Ubuntu 18.04 (GCC 7.3)." [01:23] no [01:23] apparently there was a regression cause its broke again in Ubuntu 19.04 [01:23] cc (Ubuntu 8.3.0-6ubuntu1) 8.3.0 [01:23] gcc* [01:24] mhmmm [01:24] solidfox: what version gnome-shell ar eyou running? [01:24] comment #26 suggests it should be fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1740869 in version 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 [01:24] Launchpad bug 1740869 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu Disco) " is not responding window is constantly showing when debugging a program" [High,Fix released] [01:24] GNOME Shell 3.32.0 [01:25] another regression? [01:25] solidfox: i'm guessing the fix wasn't in 3.32 [01:25] its ok i understand. [01:25] .... i guess the people writing code and debugging for Ubuntu releases.... don't use ubuntu to do it? [01:25] that's, embarrassing :( [01:26] solidfox: please file a bug against gnome-shell, and reference that this bug should be fixed for the version you're running, too [01:26] i really liked the way ubuntu looked, and it was much better than 18.10 [01:26] sarnold: how do i do that [01:26] oh. hrm. "This has already been fixed both in Disco and Cosmic" :/ [01:27] solidfox: 'ubuntu-bug gnome-shell', then fill in the webpage that launches [01:27] oh i have an update for gnome shell [01:27] let me try that [01:32] yeah still happening unfortunately [01:33] solidfox: dang. I was hopeful :( [01:34] there's a script here that claims to kill such a dialog: https://askubuntu.com/questions/412917/how-to-increase-waiting-time-for-non-responding-programs [01:35] hahahaha [01:36] the script looks like garbage, but it's an interesting way to try to make this thing less painful [01:38] i just found ubuntu-bug program [01:38] it makes it easy to report a problem [01:38] maybe you can turn mutter off while doing the debugging [01:38] Oops! [01:38] Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad. [01:38] nvm bug reporting is down too [01:40] solidfox: wow.. copy that oops-id down.. try again.. and if it fails a second time, please pop into #launchpad and paste in the oops-ids [01:40] yeah it has happened twice [01:40] idk i hope im not bothering them [01:40] it is linux after all [01:40] bugs are expected [01:41] lauchpad folks are usually happy to chase down an oops-id [01:41] well,maybe 'happy' isn't quite the right word, but they've never asked me to stop :) [01:41] ok [01:55] C++17 std::filesystem::exists() is broken on my system lol === zbenjamin is now known as Guest23625 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:36] :) [02:48] audio seems to be turned off each time i start my laptop. How can i check which process it is that's turning it off? === MR_Caboose is now known as Mysterytrain [03:08] hey i was wondering, how would i go about re-enabling my Boot Splash Screen? [03:08] i dont want the text anymore, i just want the splash screen but i have no idea how to fix it [03:11] the usual way to get text booting is to remove "quiet splash" from your kernel command line; if that sounsd like what you did, edit /etc/default/grub, put them back, then run sudo update-grub [03:29] Hey there, I had an ifconfig command to get my netmask, but my understanding is that Ubuntu no longer uses ifconfig. Is there a new command to get your netmask? [03:31] Elliria: dont go, on phone.. [03:31] Okay. [03:31] Elliria: ifconfig can't do the full range of what the linux kernel can do, which is why the ip command is replacing it [03:32] ifconfig is probably still available if you want to install it though [03:32] Okay, not a problem. I'm just wondering if there's an ip command to get the netmask. Do you happen to know it or another way to get the netmask from the command line? [03:32] No, I'd like to do this with default software. [03:32] man ip [03:32] I looked at the man page and didn't find it. Is it in there? [03:33] no :( [03:34] ip addr will dump the thing in CIDR format.. [03:34] the help for ip command is a bit... complicated [03:34] most tools can accept that, so that's easiest :) [03:34] all them symbols [03:34] for a decade or so there wasn't even the bloody docs. just the source. no wonder it's taken twenty years for ip to replace ifconfig :) [03:34] I used to do ifconfig | grep 'Mask:'| grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d: -f4 and am looking for something like that that will get me just the netmask. Is there such a thing nowadays? [03:35] All of my Google searches so far are turning up either old instructions using ifconfig or manual instructions for going manually into the router while I'm looking for a quick command. [03:36] you can try this? ip a | awk '/^ inet/ {print $2;}' [03:36] (that's four spaces in the awk matching field) [03:37] Thanks, but, sadly, that gave me four lines of information and none of it was the netmask. [03:38] Unless that last line with all the letters in it is the netmask written in CIDR format, which I'm not familiar with. Is it? [03:38] my wifi indicator in xfce broke recently (running 19.04). Can somebody point me to what I should start looking into? [03:38] pulseaudio isnt turning on my speakers on boot. What's a good way to see what is turning it off/ how to turn it off at boot? [03:38] i mean how to turn it on at boot [03:40] Have you checked alsamixer for a muted line ? [03:40] hmmm, where should i go to check that? [03:43] check the "session and startup" tool and make sure pulseaudio is loading [03:45] Elliria: ipcalc $(ip -o addr show dev wlp58s0|awk '/inet / {print $4}')|awk '/Netmask/ {print $2}' # replacing wlp58s0 with your interface... and installing ipcalc [03:45] alsamixer in a term [03:45] Elliria: unless you can just deal with the CIDR, in which case you don't need to use ipcalc [03:45] Sorry eraserpencil had a issue here had to take care of === [b0b] is now known as b0b [03:47] leftyfb: Ouch. Are those the only ways? [03:48] jane_lane no worries [03:48] I'm trying to update my static IP tutorial with simple steps anybody can easily follow with software that's installed by default. [03:48] Elliria: what does that have to do with finding your netmask? [03:48] Because you must know your netmask in order to choose an IP. [03:49] Elliria: how can you know your netmask if you don't have an ip? [03:49] You have an IP. [03:49] Elliria: I don't understand the workflow here [03:49] Elliria: if you have an ip, then why do you need to choose an ip? [03:50] It's irrelevant to my request. My request is to find out if I can get my netmask from the command line. [03:50] Elliria: I showed you that above [03:50] You don't. But if you want to assign a static IP, you need to properly choose one, in which case you need to know your netmask. But once again, that's irrelevant to my request. [03:50] Yes, thank you. I'm hoping someone will show me how it's done with default software. [03:51] Elliria: setting a static ip based on the ip you get from dhcp is a terrible idea. Especially one on a network where you don't have control over the dhcp server [03:52] I'm not doing that, leftyfb. I'm instructing others on how to use their netmask to choose a static IP. [03:52] Elliria: ipcalc is the way to go [03:52] Okay, thank you, leftyfb. [03:52] Elliria: the CIDR is in some sense better than the netmask, because (a) it's only three chars total, rather than 15 (b) mistakes are a thousand times easier to spot with CIDR than with netmasks [03:52] Elliria: it'll show you the dhcp range based on the CIDR which you can get from the ip command I posted above [03:52] Elliria: that's why nearly everything takes CIDR these days [03:53] Why is ipcalc not installed by default? [03:53] only a handful of people need it [03:54] Interesting. Thanks, sarnold. [03:56] so im loooking at Startup Application Preferences and I believe this application: "Slimbook Battery Autostart" that's causing pulseaudio to turn off. The thing is, I've removed slimbook a while back and not sure why it's still showing up. [03:57] I dont see slimbook in htop, ps -aux, or systemctl list of services [04:02] if anyone sees my question, ping me so i can see please [04:16] w [04:16] ls === tommy_ is now known as Guest27899 === jack is now known as Guest41551 === Guest41551 is now known as jack === herb3 is now known as herb === deepend_ is now known as deepend [04:49] how can I enable vt340 support in the terminal? [04:50] what's vt340? === v0lta7 is now known as v0lta [04:51] hello [04:51] why do thunar and files take so long to delete a directory of files when rm can do it near instantly? [04:52] jack: its one type of standard governing part of how the terminal works (most seem to be vt220) [04:52] vt stands for virtual terminal. [04:52] like how the characters can be colored, escape sequences, etc [04:53] mmh [04:53] It defines what capabilities the terminal has and what escape codes the server sends to the terminal in order to use those capabilities. [04:53] it seems vt340 supports sixels, but terminal doesn't seem to support them [04:53] My favorite being the answerback buffer. [04:54] I know someone who figured out how to use escape codes to reprogram the answerback buffer on vt100 terminals. [04:55] Jonno_FTW: wich ubuntu version are you on? [04:56] using BB in ubuntu, is there a way to set gpm style clipboard settings for mouse? [04:56] lotuspsychje: 18.04 [04:56] Like click/drag == select/copy and right click/middle click == paste [04:57] lotuspsychje: I assume it's distro independent because it happens on fedora as well [04:57] that right click->copy is a drag [04:57] probably just the way that those file managers handle deleting folders recursively [04:57] Jonno_FTW: how about your system specs? ram? hd/ssd? cpu? [04:58] 32gb ram, i7 9700k [04:58] on a hdd [04:58] Jonno_FTW: that should be plenty, wich flavour of ubuntu? [04:59] regular [04:59] and how do you delete the files? rm -f? GUI? [04:59] gui [05:00] Jonno_FTW: maybe you can try launching thunar from terminal to see whats happening and also htop and a tail -f /var/log/syslog [05:00] How many folder lvls? How many files per folder [05:00] * artyx wants to set this up and test ... [05:01] I think tens of thousands of files [05:01] under each folder? [05:03] yes [05:04] actually, it's the output of scrapy httpcache if you've ever used that [05:04] that helps [05:04] so there's a folder with hundreds of folders, each has a subfolder with 6 files [05:04] =) i'm testing time to remove on disk right now [05:05] rm -rf httpcache is very fast, thunar takes forever [05:10] okay .. i've got 4 levels deep, 10k files per dir, which is a LOT of files [05:10] still creating ... lol [05:12] that should be enough [05:14] Well i just crashed the gui .. so maybe too much [05:16] yeah but do it in terminal and it will be quick [05:19] well its 100*100*100*100 dirs with 10k files per 4th lvl [05:19] i guess that was too much typing. coulda done with 100^4 .. but that doesnt convey the magnificence of such a shell cmd [05:21] only getting about 50MB/s on the file create. so let this run for a min, and i'll try the file manager... just the default? [05:24] Jonno_FTW: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pastedb.io/paste/1cb07b50-fb61-45e7-73e4-63f19ac76d29%2393e42e6bbe69643473a50062e9298e27a5f1eebfaca887c920019d1b258941fb&sa=D&source=hangouts&ust=1560403436294000&usg=AFQjCNFdVLE_0tocmDMQAYDKVL6IeerUAQ [05:24] How to skip grub select os menu at boot?

Now thats not purge trash or whatever [05:37] let the full a set finish, and i'll try again [05:47] Jonno_FTW: Do you use "files" to delete stuff, or some other app ... [05:48] artyx: I use thunar [05:52] adding it.. i wanted to test this slowness [05:52] Its 12GB per final directory .. so 12G*100^4 total file space.. wondering if i should have gone wiht smaller files [05:53] no, ive got enough.. barely [05:55] Holy cow Jonno_FTW.. that is a sLOW app [05:55] just to index 1010203 items .. took awhile [05:56] can't wait to see how big an A level dir takes, since its still populating a/B/* right now [06:19] just use rm -rf [06:20] How do I move everything from one partition to a new clean install? [06:21] that way I don't have to reinstall everything [06:24] BeepBeepJeep: Can you give an example for something you want to move? [06:24] I want to move two partitions [06:24] my root and my home dir! [06:25] well [06:26] I have two partitions on a drive i want to transfer them to a new drive thats bigger. [06:28] BeepBeepJeep, although it can be done via dd and or other methods id suggest clonezilla or such liveusb/livedvd to move to the larger drive. [06:30] Alright. I'll look into it. [06:30] I have a few drives I need to do. [06:30] One after eachother, if the need be! [06:32] BeepBeepJeep: be careful with dd as that will lead to duplication of UUIDs === jane_lane is now known as janie_away [06:56] oh that's interesting [06:57] i also have a drive that needs moving. it's a partition on a plain drive, which i want copied inside an LVM and other container. clonezilla and not DD? [06:58] gallomimia: If you know what you're doing dd (or ddrescue or pv ...) are totally fine. [06:59] i've used dd quite a few times without shooting myself in the foot [07:00] but it's currently booting this system. i've heard bootable partitions don't like that. and i've had trouble with this windows partition on another system [07:14] Ive had alot of luck with dd and ddrescue myself but clonezilla seems to be safer in my opinion. Especially if you use a third disk and make images first as a temporary state incase of errors . Bootsectors and all . [07:23] I'm looking for documentation on the default full disk encryption done by the regular ubuntu installer. When googling I keep finding (somewhat older?) documentation on how to do it manually, but I'm looking for how it gets done automatically these days. [07:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption <- is first ghit, and does explain how to do it manually, but doesn't seem to include what the installer does automatically. [07:27] A good place to start would be [07:27] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity/AdvancedPartitioningSchemes [07:31] the slideshow links on that page looked really promising, but they are currently 404 (were stored on google picasa?) [07:32] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/PartMan [07:32] Also a good read [07:33] partman is ubiquity's partitioning feature [07:33] fair enough. That might be one piece of the puzzle, but ^f-crypt gets 0 hits. :-/ [07:34] * kim_bruning is mildly worried that #ubuntu doesn't go "RTFM noob you can find it at ..." and links directly to the relevant document. :-P [07:34] I do appreciate your help though ;-) [07:37] Your asking about the process built into ubiquity the results are basically the same if you do it manually or use the installer. Not sure there is a tell all documentstion for this. [07:38] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1773457 <- says the documented method is not the one used by the ubuntu installer :-/ [07:38] Launchpad bug 1773457 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Full-system encryption needs to be supported out-of-the-box including /boot and should not delete other installed systems" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:39] The possible combinations are staggering. The diversity of hardware and software involved is varied to say the least . Partman uses recipe's to derive its stepfeom the hardware combo found in the particular system [07:39] fair enough, I guess I can look at the partman code to see what it decided for my system [07:39] Thats a great place to start [07:40] in any case (ubuntu 16) seems to indeed have /boot on-the-metal, while it has a lvm pv on /dev/mapper/..._crypt [07:41] yes even 18.04 is that way [07:42] This is a lot harder than it should be ^^;;;; [07:43] kernel is needed to decrypt if it is encrypted it becomes even harder to achiev this [07:44] grub and kernel live on /boot [07:44] Well, I mean just finding the information ;-) [07:44] And obviously having the kernel unencrypted is nonideal, but that's a different bridge which I'm not going to be crossing today :-P [07:46] janie_away, hmm, would you happen to know where to look for the ubuntu partman (git) repo? [07:46] * kim_bruning shall go forth and RTFC [07:46] its a kernel that exists on most other installs as well even if you encrypted it a usb stick and bootload/kernel combo and the knowledge and you can get around it if your wanting complete id suggest something like truecrypt [07:47] Nah, I'm just looking for TFM. Having failed that, TFC is fine too. [07:47] * kim_bruning is documenting today. [07:49] Https://github.com/installer-team/partman-auto [07:50] but i get a 404 [07:50] Wants login [07:51] :-/ [07:51] <_< suspicious [07:52] question: why does my machine have avahi-daemon ? [07:52] this is the only device in the network without any "services" anywhere near inside the firewall. In case I'll remove it - what breaks ? [07:55] janie_away, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/partman-auto/ubuntu/files/677 aha, ubuntu uses bzr, not git . Fiiiine [07:56] Avahi is mdns/dns-sd aka apples zeroconfig or bonjour [07:56] sweet you found it [07:56] janie_away: how so? [07:57] Registers local ips and static services [07:58] Mava42, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/avahi-daemon.8.html or http://avahi.org/ ; from reading those i suspect you'll only have issues as janie_away already stated [07:59] Https://linux.die.net/man/8/avahi-daemon [07:59] guiverc: thats what I'm expecting to happen as well [07:59] Explains it pretty well [08:00] yup, better to keep it on [08:01] things likely just work better with it [08:01] yes [08:01] Welp,I'm out of my timebox for today. if anyone knows more about where ubuntu's default encrypted install is implemented, give me a poke [08:01] kim_bruning: what do you mean "where"? [08:02] hey, did openvpn break for anyone else lately? [08:03] first I didn't get dns and then just network unreachable, this setup has been working for 6 months [08:03] sorry blackflow... I was just looking for some documentation on how ubuntu's default encrypted install is implemented. (I promised to help out the company's compliance officer. Clever me %-) ) [08:04] blackflow, I do seem to have some of the source code now (partman-auto) , but that seems to modify an underlying package. That'll take a while to sort out %-P [08:04] kim_bruning: it's a LUKS container atop of which Ubuntu installs LVM atop of which it sets up filesystems. If you need more details, I suppose you'd have to look into the installer source code [08:04] blackflow, that was my conclusion too %-/ [08:05] kim_bruning: so what kind of detail are you after? [08:05] Just basically what it sets up, which luks configuration is used, etc. [08:07] are you sure it's not eCryptfs? [08:07] kim_bruning: default one, which is aes xts plain64, sha256 key, default number of iterations [08:08] blackflow, Oh, where (did/would) you dinf that info? [08:08] it's a standard LUKS setup [08:08] where did you find , I mean [08:08] also obtainable with cryptsetup luksDump after the fact [08:09] kim_bruning: I'd advise you to install Ubuntu in a VM and then inspect all the details of it you want :) [08:09] Ole! [08:09] how can i make this rename script (to replace 'v' in several filenames with '0') to work on files with spaces in them? for f in *v*; do mv -v "$f" $(echo "$f" | tr 'v' '0'); done [08:09] pay dirt. <3 blackflow [08:10] eh I have it installed on the metal, that works too [08:10] sure [08:10] ryusaku: Quotes around $() should work. [08:12] ryusaku, start with .... IFS=;for f in *v*;do echo "--->${f}<---"; done [08:12] for f in *v*; do mv -v "$f" "${f//v/0}"; done [08:13] Or just do what geirha says :-P [08:13] vlt : thanks! [08:13] geirha ; that worked. thank you [08:15] kim_bruning :) [08:16] TIL bash supports regex replace ^^;; [08:17] it's not regex [08:17] ah lol, something modified my systemd unit file, got it fixed [08:18] it uses globs. The only place bash uses regex is with the [[ keyword's =~ operator [08:46] geirha, Heh [08:46] Thanks for all the help! blackflow janie_away , et al :-) === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [09:04] hello ubuntu im having trouble installing over terminal it says "unable to locate package" [09:05] what are you trying to install? [09:05] ifconfig [09:06] that is part of net-tools package [09:06] use "sudo apt install net-tools" [09:06] then you should be able to run ifconfig [09:09] thanks puppetmasterFPU [09:09] you are very welcome [09:17] Hi anyone using , Ubuntu server 18 with more than 1 NIC cards? I am not able to bring network up on the second NIC [09:18] same issue on Ubuntu server 16.04 as well [09:19] you should try #ubuntu-server [09:19] might have better luck in there [09:20] @puppetmasterFPU, thanks I will check in #ubuntu-server [09:21] no problem. sorry i couldn't help you [09:22] I was not aware of IRC, you have pointed me in the right direction. Thanks for you help [09:40] Alright, so yeah, I rebooted, couldn't log in. Chrooted in from the other OS and I think I fixed everything [10:09] Hi folks [10:09] hi [10:09] I have a question about terminology [10:10] !ask [10:10] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [10:11] acebrianjuan: what is your question? [10:12] how should I refer to the "items" inside the /dev/ directory? devices? ports? [10:12] I know the question is a bit weak [10:13] odd question. i've never put any thought into it to be frank [10:14] if I do an ls /dev/ I can see many interfaces like loop null sda tty etc... [10:14] I don't know how should I call these [10:14] acebrianjuan: they are literally devices, it depends there's block devices character devices etc [10:15] well you need to remember, everything in the linux filesystem structure is considered a file [10:15] acebrianjuan: block devices read in blocks, characters in characters etc [10:15] EriC^^: ok, how would you tag a tty device? a character device? [10:15] acebrianjuan: try it yourself [10:15] puppetmasterFPU: that's true so they really are files in the end [10:15] ls -l /dev/tty1 [10:16] you'll see it starts with a "c" indicating it's a character device [10:16] that's right. everything is a file. that's my point [10:16] to ask what is the correct terminology is not an entirely accurate question to start with [10:16] ok, so I think it's safe to call them devices [10:16] i would dismiss the question [10:17] acebrianjuan: that would be a loose answer, but yes [10:17] I am writing a piece of code and wanted to make sure that I named my variables accordingly [10:17] if you want the most accurate definition, acebrianjuan the files in /dev are either block device files, or character device files [10:17] so that's the reason for making the question [10:18] EriC^^: ok, thank you EriC^^ [10:18] no problem [10:29] !patience [10:29] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Usually it happens after locking and unlocking, but sometimes is happens right in the middle of use. Usually if I just close the lid and reopen it (instead of ctrl+alt+L) the cursor doesn't disappear. The only solution I have is to reboot. [10:54] multifractal: that is likely related to the GPU and drivers, or possibly the compositor [10:55] what should i do? [10:56] multifractal: first thing is always to review various log files for hints and clues, kernel log ('dmesg'), /var/log/Xorg.0.log (Xserver), $HOME/.xsession_errors (user session) === westor{off} is now known as westor [11:29] hi all [11:29] how define follow rules in crontab: 1. each 5minutes between 6am and 7pm do /root/foobar.sh 2. each 15 minutes between 7pm and 6am do /root/foobar.sh [11:36] oki founded [12:07] moin. any ideas on how to run nginx and apache somehow both on port 443. i know this is normally not possible but maybe there is way or tool or something [12:09] hmm is it possible to use nginx with subdomain routing to different backends? like sub1.domain.com goes to localhost:444 and sub2.domain.com goes to localhost:445 ? [12:09] ybaumy: not on the same IP at least. Why would you want that? Just have one proxy the stuff meant for the other through, either can do that [12:10] ok yea i could get another pub ip too [12:10] and use that one explictily [12:12] ah ok but it is that easy [12:12] https://ryan.himmelwright.net/post/nginx-subdomain-reverse-proxy/ [12:29] TJ-: Hello, I bought a Linux-supported USB RJ45 network interface, then install Ubuntu 19.04 again with Internet connection, now nVidia driver + SecureBoot works (And graphic card won't hang shutdown/reboot anymore).

[12:53] hi all [12:54] anyone can help me with thrustmaster joys in ubuntu ? === phantom_data344 is now known as phantom_data34 [13:15] Hello, I've installed snap 'nano' in Ubuntu Core 18. It had no permission to access any file. I connected it to nano:home, and now I can read file, but cannot write ("file is unwritable" error at the bottom, and "Permission denied" while trying to write). How do I give snap permission to write? [13:18] mike_papa: if you have software-centre, you can tweak options of snaps there [13:19] lotuspsychje, not in the Ubuntu Core. It's stripped down to bare system core, and just few things to keep it running in network. That's where "core" name comes from. [13:20]
