OerHeksno need for oibaf ppa no more, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu00:03
OerHekswith latest cards just use 18.04 + HWE, or jump to 19.0400:04
ChiLLabiSok thank you00:04
OerHeks!hwe00:04
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack00:04
OerHeksand there is hwe-edge, but that could be too buggy00:05
Thr0rOK - Thanks All. I now have "StartUp Disk Creator" or also named "Make a Startup Disk" on my Xubuntu. And Yes - I prefer a GUI. But thanks - I will try it. Rufus was really easy to use..00:05
OerHeksedge will give kernel 5.x, which will be in edge when 18.04.3 comes out in august00:06

Thr0rEven if you think my questions sometimes are stupid or simple just remember that I have now told alot of my friends about the state Linux/Ubuntu is in these days. I tried it many years ago but it was too much manual work to get it functional. Now it mostly just works. So bare with me for a while.. :)00:15
jakeajakeHi Thror00:16
jakeajakei'm looking for help w/ "greyed out VPN" for the GUI (lubuntu 16.04)00:17
Eickmeyerjakeajake: lubuntu 16.04 is EOL. You need to upgrade to 18.04 or higher.00:18
jakeajakei see.00:19
jakeajakeOk00:19
jakeajakesuppose i could update w/ the Dist upgrade cmd?00:19
jakeajakelooking for an LTS distro00:19
OerHeksright, lubuntu gives 3 years00:19
sarnolddo-release-upgrade is the best approach00:19
OerHekswhat happens when you update, jakeajake ? maybe a message to upgrade ?00:20

Sven_vBis there a good terminal multiplexer (i.e., more stable and programmable than screen) that can divide my terminal in a top half and bottom half, and in each half offer me independent selection of which of my many shells I want to view and control?00:26

Thr0rWill I get the new "Plasma 5.16" if I install a newly downloaded Ubuntustudio .iso? I read about "Plasma 5.16" in : https://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-16-for-disco-19-04-available-in-backports-ppa/00:29
EickmeyerThr0r: Only if you're running 19.04 and you add that backports PPA. Ubuntu Studio's DE is Xfce. If you want Plasma as your desktop, best to download/install Kubuntu and add Ubuntu Studio via Ubuntu Studio Installer.00:31

wondowsis it possible to add an executable to the PATH under a different name?00:41
sarnoldwhat are you trying to do?00:41
wondowsI need to be able to type blender28 to run /opt/blender/blender-2.80/blender00:42
wondowsadding to PATH is not the solution..00:43
sarnoldwhy that word specficailly?00:43
wondows"To run the tests locally, your system should be modified to include blender279b and blender28 as shell scripts"00:43
sarnoldtry sudo ln -s /opt/blender/blender-2.80/blender /usr/local/bin/blender2800:44
Sven_vBEickmeyer, I guess I should use tmux as the byobu backend?00:44
wondowssarnold: oh yeah thanks00:46
sarnoldwondows: did that work for you?00:46
wondowssarnold: yes00:48
EickmeyerSven_vB: That's the default, and it works quite nicely.00:48
Sven_vBEickmeyer, so I was able to make byobu split my screen into a bottom half and top half, and have each run a shell. that's how far I was with tmux as well. now how do I open a new shell in the bottom half?00:49
EickmeyerSven_vB: There's a built-in help. Should do it automatically.00:49
Sven_vBEickmeyer, it launched one shell when I split the window. however, I can't find in the help how to open more shells and select which of them is shown in the bottom half.00:51
Sven_vBfor now all I can find in the help is what tmux can do as well, just not the things I want. ;)00:51
EickmeyerF1 will open the help in your active shell.00:51
sarnoldwondows: great! :) thanks for reporting back00:51
Thr0rEickmeyer: Kubuntu 19,04 is only avail in 64-bit.. And I guess Plasma 5,16 is not avail on the Kubuntu 32-bit 18,04 LTS? (Is Ubuntu planning to leave 32-bit computers?).00:52
EickmeyerThr0r: 32-bit is no longer supported.00:52
svetaThr0r: is your hardware 32bit?00:53
EickmeyerThr0r: No, Plasma 5.16 is not available for 18.04.00:53
Sven_vBEickmeyer, seems I'm still blind. could you give me another hint? I also tried creating a new window but that's tmux's notion of a window.00:53
EickmeyerSven_vB: That's all I've got.00:54
EickmeyerSven_vB: Since byobu is a frontend for tmux, that's to be expected.00:54
Sven_vBEickmeyer, oh. then I guess byobu can't do it either. :(00:54
Sven_vBso my original question is open again.00:54
Thr0rsveta:  Just one of them - Was thinking of trying out Plasma 5,16 on that but thats fine - it's an old THinkpad T43p00:55
coz_Thr0r, are you wedded to ubuntu?00:55
coz_Thr0r, you already answered00:56
svetaThr0r: you could perhaps check several other distributions, compiling this may be a bit hard with qt deps and other things00:56
coz_Thr0r,  yes sveta is correct, other distros aka fedor I believe still offer 32bit00:57
coz_fedora00:57
UbuntivityHello. I have a super-weird problem00:57
Ubuntivityin Libreoffice writer, when I copy figure (3) [for example], then paste in another file, I get figure (4) instead!00:58
coz_Ubuntivity, let me try that here, hold on00:59
EickmeyerUbuntivity: Support for libreoffice is in #libreoffice.00:59
Thr0rsveta: coz_:  Thanks - but I already run Xubuntu on my 32-bit systems and it works fine. Not "wedded" to Ubuntu but it just feels good for me - and excellent support aswell.. I wanted to try out a new desktop - that's all.01:00
svetaUbuntivity: you can select the field and press F9 to update the number01:00
svetaUbuntivity: can you?01:00
svetaThr0r: ok01:01
coz_Ubuntivity, cannot reproduce it here, a mentioned $libreoffice is a better resource01:01
UbuntivityEickmeyer: I've asked there too, thanks for the notice.01:01
Ubuntivitysveta: could not understand what you mean.01:01
coz_Thr0r,  understood01:01
svetaUbuntivity: select the figure number and press the F9 key on your keyboard01:01
Ubuntivitycoz_: Try copying from a .docx document with several figures in it.01:01
sarnoldThr0r: even though there's no 32-bit installer for 18.04, we'll try to support as much of 18.04 LTS on 32 bit for as long as we can. I wouldn't be surprised if we can't keep the browsers going through the whole lifetime of 18.04.01:02
coz_Ubuntivity, ok let me try however #libreoffice is the better place to be01:02
Ubuntivitysveta: I believe this is irrelevant to my issue. My issue is that the next figure is being actually copied to the clipboard. And if I copy the last figure (where there is no next one) then paste; I get a blank object with a lego-brick symbol and a number only.01:03
coz_Ubuntivity, again no luck in reproducing, are you also in the #libreoffice channel>?01:05
Ubuntivitycoz_: Yes. I'll provide my file there01:06
coz_Ubuntivity, cool01:07
OerHeksi think you need to save those figures on disk first, drag and drop would give those empty items indeed01:09
coz_??01:09
OerHeksin libreoffice01:09
Thr0rsarnold: Ok - I will try to install the Kubuntu 18,04,2 LTS on one of my 32 bit laptops. I am kind of curious how it is.. At the same time I will have a chance to try out the Linux bootable USB creator..  "Startup Disk Creator".01:10
UbuntivityOerHeks: empty item is only on the last figure, the figre before the last is acutally pasting the last figure!01:10
Ubuntivitycoz_: Any method to send you my file? Its jus 47KB.01:13
coz_Ubuntivity, you can pastebin it, although I have not done that often enough to guide you01:14
coz_Ubuntivity, other methods, agan I am not familiar with01:15
coz_ddropbox?01:15
coz_Ubuntivity, no one in #libreoffice has dealt with this?01:16
OerHeksscreenshot? imgur01:17
Ubuntivitycoz_: sveta is investigating my issue there..01:17
UbuntivityOerHeks: no, .docx file.01:18
Thr0rIs Plasma 5,16 much different than Kubuntu 18,04,2 LTS?01:18
Ubuntivitycoz_: actually I could upload it here: https://filebin.net/xfi7xc57w6ztc2w5/RESULTS.docx?t=n2uzt3mh01:18
coz_ok01:18
coz_Ubuntivity, let me check it here01:19
* Ubuntivity uses LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 on Ubuntu 16.0401:19
UbuntivityThanks, coz_. Try copying figures into another new Writer document.01:20
coz_Ubuntivity, I am on 6.2.4.2.0 I believe01:20
coz_let me check to be sure01:20
Ubuntivitycoz_: It won't hurt to try it anyway.01:20
coz_Ubuntivity, yep Version: 6.2.4.2.0+01:20
UbuntivityDo the figures get copied correctly into another file? coz_01:21
coz_Ubuntivity,  I am going to pvt message you first01:21
UbuntivityOK01:21
signalsoutmmmmm01:37
signalsoutDo you know.....01:38
* Ubuntivity waiting for signalsout to complete the sentence..01:38
signalsoutThe muffin man!01:38
Thr0rFyi! I read "Planet Ubuntu" for Ubuntu news in rss reader Liferea - Recommended.. Source is "http://planet.ubuntu.com/rss20.xml" ..01:40
UbuntivityWhat is the latest LibreOffice available in repo for Ubuntu 16.04?01:44
sarnoldUbuntivity: 6.2.4.2 is in a snap https://snapcraft.io/libreoffice and 5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial7 is in a deb01:45
Ubuntivitysarnold: whats the latest on apt-get?01:47
sarnoldUbuntivity: that's the 5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial7 version01:48
UbuntivityThanks sarnold01:50
Thr0r,,,The installer of Kbuntu is pretty nice - All Flavours should use it. And the Bootable USB creator - sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk - Application work even better than Rufus on Windows. So Thanks.02:08

EickmeyerThr0r: You'll need the Ubuntu Studio Backports for that with 18.04.02:24

Gallomimiamy PC just hard powered off, wouldn't turn back on for a bit. the cpu cooler was hot enough to burn me. where can i go look at logs about this event?03:13
guiverc2Gallomimia, if it's a hardware event; and hardware turned machine off - usually the running OS isn't told (eg. cpu can shutdown if temperature hits threashold, it just grounds a pin & PSU shuts system down; your machine logs may contain logs prior to shutdown event, but not usually event)03:20
Gallomimianot seeing much in a grep command i found03:23
cfhowlettGallomimia, clean your fans??03:23
Gallomimiai actually just stood a desk fan next to the case with the lid off03:23
guiverc2Gallomimia, hardware logs is where I'd look, not OS logs (enterprise grade hardware keep great logs, consumer grade often little-none)03:25
Gallomimianaw its consumer grade03:25
TJ-Gallomimia: does the PC usually have the lid off? If so be aware that often the lid being on is required to force the airflow to the places it is needed. Secondly, if a thermal overheat event occurred that could be due to problems with the firmware<>OS interface not correctly operating the fans. You can monitor the state of temperatures with the lm-sensors package, and the 'sensors' tool (before it crashes,03:28
TJ-to see trends)03:28
Gallomimiait only happened this one time, and it was after taxing it heavy with multiple reloads of a game under proton03:29
TJ-Gallomimia: ahhh... still, shouldn't happen at all, OS should manage things and throttle CPUs... but it could have been the GPU and if that isn't monitored it could cause a hard shutdown03:30
Gallomimiamy burned thumb thinks it was the cpu03:30
Gallomimiait's cooled right off now. but the heatpipe on the cpu cooler was really really hot03:31
Gallomimiacan't seem to find anything that shows me fan speeds.03:33
Gallomimiabut they do throttle up when it gets taxed03:33
Gallomimiaubuntu 16.04 used to have them...03:34
Gallomimiaas for the lid being off, this lid has 2 grates in it for 140mm fans so, really don't think it being off or on is going to be an issue03:34

nshireanyone have an idea why I don't get terminal colors for the user@computername when using PuTTY? things like ls and neofetch show color properly05:27
geirhanshire: what does    echo "$TERM"   output when you're logged in via putty?05:29
TJ-nshire: that depends on the PS1/PS2 etc configured by the shell05:30
nshiregeirha, xterm05:30
geirhanshire: Ok, sounds like .bashrc isn't getting read then. Do you have a file named ".bash_profile" in your homedir?   ls -l ~/.bash_profile05:32
nshireI don't05:35
nshirejust history, logout, rc05:35
geirhahave you made any changes to .bashrc or .profile?05:35
nshireI haven't made any edits, no05:36
geirhaoh right, the default test in .bashrc checks if $TERM matches xterm-color or *-256color05:38
geirhabefore adding colour to the prompt05:38
nshirebtw just to be clear-color does work when logged in locally05:39
nshirejust not over ssh05:39
geirhaso the question is whether putty can be configured to report a different TERM variable, such as xterm-256color, or whether you should include xterm in that test in .bashrc05:40
nshireI think there's a setting for that05:43
nshirelet me see05:43
nshirecurrently it was already set to allow xterm-256 color mode05:44
geirhakeep in mind that if you change putty's default configuration, it won't affect already saved sessions, you have to make the same changes there05:45

yossarianukhi - regarding the new 'ping of death' - i.e https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SACKPanic08:19
yossarianukIs it good enough to just install the latest kernel ? Or do I need to install the new kernel and use 'net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0' ?08:19
tachikomasyossarianuk: no08:20
yossarianuktachikomas: do you mean I just need to install the updated kernel ?08:21
tachikomasThe latest kernel doesnt fix it yet08:22
tachikomasplease read https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/advisories/third-party/2019-001.md08:22
yossarianukbut according to -> https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2019/CVE-2019-11477.html08:22
yossarianukthe fix is in : released (4.18.0-22.23)08:23

blackflowah you mean fourth then, on the netflix github08:25
tachikomasif you read a bit the article, the mss filter is the same mitigation that the 2 previous ones.08:25
blackflowright.08:27
blackflowthere are three facets to this, all mitigated with the same measure (drop low mss packets and disable tcp mtu probing): panic, slowness and resource exhaustion. the first two are patched in the kernel, the third requires the mitigation for now. the fourth is FreeBSD specific.08:28

aneonis there a way to tame apparmor-notify, it keeps throwing 1000s of notifications per min over clamd (in complain mode) and breaks the screen?09:33
yvyzsudo service apparmor reload09:39
yvyzresets all the tracked profiles09:39

aneonyvyz: thanks09:59

aneonit still keeps posting 100s of those10:06
aneonI think it is best to disable apparmor-notify and configure exim for emailing logs10:07
aneonthere are other programs that are configured for notify-send and I will probably miss those notifications10:08

However I am having issues because the "ceph-monitor" cant seem to gain access to the "ceph"'s files. How can I make all 'ceph' file accessable and writeable by 'ceph-monitor'10:49

BluesKajzophyx, only if you have DNS setting enabled there12:56

zophyxwell, systemd-resolved used the cable system provided dns server, but not my DNS entry in the config file12:59

nathdwekHello, I have a kind of weird question: When I ssh to a server, for some reason it turns out I end up in a screen session13:51
nathdwekHowever I don't remember ever setting this up. How can I find what config file is leading to screen starting on log in?13:52
leftyfbnathdwek: look in ~/.bashrc13:52
leftyfbnathdwek: or $SHELL13:52
nathdwekleftyfb: yeah I did that already13:53
nathdwekThat's what I meant by "I don't remember setting this up"13:53
leftyfbnathdwek: what version of ubuntu is the server running?13:53
nathdwekMy dotfiles are versioned, there shouldn't be anything in there13:53
nathdwekWorse, my bashrc normally starts tmux up13:54
nathdwekbut since $TERM is screen, it doesn't13:54

nathdwekwhere it gets weirder is that it feels like the usual screen (not a power user of screen) commands do not work.13:57
nathdwekIt's like screen is running with some heavily customized config from somewhere13:58

hiyosilverto do permament changes14:38
jollydutchmanCanonical actually made it the default for 17.10. They only reverted for 18.04 because enterprise, and that's a LTS release14:38
jollydutchmanarandr won't work, but you can configure persistent monitor setup in system settings14:38

Forty-3how do I find out what user a service runs as?15:46
lordcirthForty-3, read it's .service file15:46
Forty-3and if it doesn't set User= ?15:46
lordcirthThen presumably root. You can also just look in ps/top/htop15:47
Forty-3hm, I am trying to set up bind, and the service can't open the rndc key15:47
Forty-3I have it chowned to bind:bind and cmod'd to 64015:47
Forty-3like the one in /etc/bind15:47
ikoniaForty-3: the error in th esyslog shows the user15:48
ikoniafor bind15:48
ikoniaand it depends if you're running it in a chroot15:48
Forty-3not running in chroot15:48
ikoniahow do you know ?15:49
Forty-3ok, from the logs it says "running as: named -f -u bind15:49
Forty-3because I didn't set one up15:49
Forty-3and from the ubuntu wiki you need to do that manually15:49
Forty-3https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto15:49
ikoniaForty-3: there is a default config for different packages15:49
ikoniaok - so the user is "bind"15:49
Forty-3see the section under "chrooting bind9"15:49
Forty-3right, so why can't it access the file..?15:50
ikoniawhere is the location of the file15:50
Forty-3it's in /etc/designate/rndc.key15:50
ikoniais that the standard ocation ?15:50
ikonialocation15:50
ikoniathat doesn't look normal15:50
Forty-3it's for openstack15:50
ikoniawhere is the bind config file looking at15:51
Forty-3anyway, the perms on that directory are 75515:51
leftyfbForty-3: does the bind user have access to /etc/designate ?15:51
Forty-3yes15:51
ikoniashow me the line in the bind config15:51
ikonia(that includes the rndc.key15:51
ikonia(it's normally an include)15:52
Forty-3include "/etc/designate/rndc.key";15:52
ikoniashow me the output of ls -la /etc/designate15:53
ikonia(use a pastebin)15:53
Forty-3will be a bit of a pain; the affected server is not connected to the internet15:53
ikoniaok - change /etc/passwd for bind to have a valid shell, switch user to bind and try to read that file15:54
ikonia(dirty hack but if you can't share output - lets cut to the chase)15:54
Forty-3easier than that15:54
Forty-3sudo -u bind will get you there15:54
Forty-3and it can access the file fine15:54

sebsebsebyep on it again now16:08
ikoniasebsebseb: ok - so what part is not clear ?16:08
gofiotomreyn: so, nothing to do with chrome the browser, isn't it16:11
sebsebsebstep 1 bring up sources list I guess, not been in a sources list for ages.   apt/sources or something isn't it16:11
ikoniasebsebseb: ok - so your question is "where is sources.list"16:12
ikonia?16:12
sebsebsebyes16:12
gofioeven css16:12
ikoniasebsebseb: ok - so that's a simple question without the "duh" comment16:12
ikoniasebsebseb: so /etc/apt is normal, however there is also /etc/apt/sources.list.d16:13
ikonia(for ppa type addons)16:13
ikoniasebsebseb: as yours is a non-standard release a.) we can't support it b.) it could change the location16:13

sebsebsebyeah I think I can try the standard eol route16:14
ikoniaso you'd not read it then16:15
guestsebsebseb: The sources.list mentioned on that page should be /etc/apt/sources.list but you should probably move any additional ones you added in /etc/apt/sources.list.d16:15
guestbasically follow that guide, it explains your exact situation16:15
sebsebsebI have read that page16:15
ikoniasebsebseb: it lists the location for the sources.list files16:15
sebsebsebI just not done stuff with filets etc for ages16:15
sebsebsebI do more other  things in life now !16:15
ikoniasebsebseb: so if you'd read it - you'd not be asking "where are the files"16:15
guestOK fair enough, you need to run: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list16:15
ikoniait actually gives you the locations in the doc16:15
guestctrl-O Return to save, Ctrl-X to quit16:16
ikoniaeither way - we cannot support your release16:16
sebsebsebits just a remaster basically for the device, slight changes.  99% standard ubuntu16:16
guestideally back up configs in your /home directory, list packages etc, and reinstall16:17
ikoniasebsebseb: unsupported16:17
guestit's the 1% that gets u16:17
guestyou share 99 of your DNA with a chimp (no offense)16:17

pragmaticenigmaKavzor: tomreyn is correct, ufw is inactive if there are no rules to apply, which means the computer is in a permissive state (all ports open). based on the ports you're displaying, if remote connections are not able to reach your computer, it is likely that your Internet Modem and/or Router need to forward those ports to your machine.17:31
Kavzorperhaps I shoulda mentioned that iptables are active17:31
pragmaticenigmaKavzor: what does "sudo iptables --list-rules17:33
pragmaticenigma" report?17:33
Kavzorquite a lot.. is there any specific part that you'd want me to look for?17:34
pragmaticenigmaKavzor: Just verifying what's going on... and you're correct, if you're using iptables, the ufw is not going to work17:34
pragmaticenigmaKavzor: My knowledge of iptables is very limited, hopefully another volunteer can help. Else, you might want to check ##networking17:35
Kavzorait, thanks17:36
tomreynKavzor: so you're using either iptables directly or some other mechanism to manage your host based firewall in addition to UFW?17:37
Kavzorno, ufw isn't used17:37
Kavzorit was just an attempt17:37
tomreynKavzor: but are you using iptables directly or some other mechanism to manage your host based firewall? are you the only person managing the firewall on this system?17:39
Kavzorcurrently, yes17:40
Kavzorit's a remote server17:41
tomreyndo you have out of band access to this system, in case you'll lock yourself out of network access?17:41
tomreynalso, it's unclear whether you answered my first or second question by "currently yes", and whatthe other answer would have been.17:43
deadmundMy OS key is not working at all.  Can somebody help me figure out why?  My keyboard layout is US 104 (I believe)17:44
lordcirthdeadmund, you mean the Windows/Super key?17:47
deadmundYeah!17:48
tomreyndeadmund: provide some context:   nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";)17:48
deadmundtomreyn: I'll just tell you if that's ok.  It's a fully updated ubuntu 18.04 with KDE installed.17:48
tomreynokay, then i'm out, lack understanding of kde17:49
deadmundtomreyn: Does it matter?17:50
pragmaticenigmadeadmund: Yes, KDE and Gnome interpret the key differently17:50
pragmaticenigmadeadmund: as for KDE, I have found the Super key works some of the time. Are you trying to set a key shortcut or just launch the applications menu?17:50
deadmundpragmaticenigma: I would like to invoke the shortcut to take a screenshot with a rectangler selection.  It should be meta + shift + printscr17:51
deadmundpragmaticenigma: but, the applicaiton launcher is also not responding to the windows (super / meta) key17:51
pragmaticenigmadeadmund: when was the last time the computer was rebooted?17:52
deadmundpragmaticenigma: minutes ago trying to fix this issue17:52
tomreynmaybe ask in #kubuntu17:53
tomreynyou can reconfigure (and inspect the current configuration of) the terminal keyboard layout using    sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration17:53
tomreyni mean console / tty17:54
deadmundtomreyn: I did that and tried several different ones.  They don't seem to make any difference even after I reboot.17:54
deadmundtomreyn: Anyway, I'm pretty confident I have a 104 key and so changing the layout to some arbitrary other one doesn't seem like a logical thing to do.17:55
pragmaticenigmadeadmund: There are a number of applications that steal the ability for plasma to intercept the key presses. I haven't been able to isolate what cuases the meta key to stop working. An old bug referenced an issue with KWin, but that was patched in 201617:55
tomreyndeadmund: they should make a difference to the tty, not (neccessarily) to the graphical desktop environment17:55
deadmundpragmaticenigma: Interesting, I am using several programs that might do that.  Slack, Amarok, Firefox, I'll do a little experiment.17:55
pragmaticenigmadeadmund: Slack I know is installed via Snap, and that might explain it as I have that application too17:56
pragmaticenigmaFirefox doesn't seem to affect it for me17:56
deadmundpragmaticenigma: I killed slack and it didn't seem to make any difference17:56
tomreynas a reminder, ubuntu flavour specific disucssion is best had in the flavour specific channel.17:57
pragmaticenigmait's persistant, I usually don't recover the key until either a log out or (usually in my case) a reboot17:57
deadmundpragmaticenigma: I'll investigate.  Thanks for the hint!17:59

shinodaGuys my xorg is using a lot of memory. I am not sure what is the issue, but I have come to the conclusion that this happens after my computer starts from a suspend. Any ideas what the issue could be ?18:07
hans_can i run a chrooted 18.04 enviornment on a 16.04?18:09
sarnoldhans_: I believe lxd does that, so it probably should work with chroot too18:12
hans_any suggestions on how to set it up?18:13
hans_i remember doing something similar with debian a couple of years ago and it worked great, but i don't recall how i set it up, iirc there was just a tar.gz file i downloaded from somewhere and chrooted inside there and it was ready to go but18:14

hans_sarnold, nvm i think i got it, somethingsomething download "ubuntu-base-18.04-base-amd64.tar.gz", extract & mount & chroot mountpoint;18:20
sarnoldhans_: installing lxd is probalby the easiest way to get a good working end product, but "debootstrap xenial" ought to be a good start. check out schroot if you're doing a lot of chroot things18:20

lordcirthhans_, well, for one thing 'fallocate' supports things like --dig-holes18:26
sarnoldhans_: fallocate can do a lot more htan just change the length of a file18:26
hans_oh dig-holes looks useful, thanks for pointing it out18:27
hans_nvm18:27
Gallomimiaif you're in a hole, stop digging?18:27
sarnoldhans_: but even when just changing the length, I think they do different things; I believe the truncate(2) syscall is allowed to make a sparse file, but fallocate(2) will allocate blocks for the file, and just not use them, if the filesystem supports that operation, to 'reserve' space for the file18:27

sentimentwe're not living in the 90s are we19:14
adrian_1908No idea, I never ran into the issue. Agreed, it seems ridiculous. I would go to keyboard layouts and try toggling those, maybe see if that resets the issue without rebooting. Have you done a websearch on the issue?19:14

shinodaI am not sure. But it seems like after a suspend its more. I am not sure how to solve the issue. Also seems this issue has been running for a long time.19:30
shinodaThis is a problem since I am talking about memory usage of close to 3G.19:31

jonopolyany idea cooling down laptop? gtx 1060 and Intel graphics i720:49
jonopolylaptop is about week old idle at 61c20:49
jasonwcHi, I just saw the news that Ubuntu won't be compiling 32-bit packages after 19.10.  18.04 also didn't ship with a 32-bit install image, although it was still possible to do a 32 bit install.  Given these decisions, it seems there is very little demand for 32-bit installs (64-bit hardware has been available for more than 10 years, after all).  However, Ubuntu's popularity contest shows 3x more 32 bit than 64-bit users (2.0821:01
jasonwcmillion vs. 710,000).  Is the popularity contest wrong or is Ubuntu really dropping its most popular arch (although it shouldn't be)?21:01
jasonwcRelying on the info here - https://popcon.ubuntu.com/21:02
jonopolySo I'm using Ubuntu mate21:03
jonopolyWith an i721:03
jonopolyIntel gpu and gtx 106021:03
jonopolyIdle is 61c any advice on cooling it down? Laptop is about a week old21:03
Bashing-omjasonwc: See: https://news.softpedia.com/news/canonical-will-drop-support-for-32-bit-architectures-in-future-ubuntu-releases-526439.shtml , There was a long period asking user's inputs before this decision was taken.21:05
qwebirc9469Does anyone have any information on the SACK Panic CVE on the Ubuntu Cloud images? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SACKPanic21:06
CaptainNbetter heatsink, jonopoly21:06
qwebirc9469I see that they are being addressed in the linux-hwe packages, but I don;t know how that translates to the cloud images21:07
jasonwcYeah, I see that.  I'm just surprised that so many users are still using 32-bit installs when 64-bit capable hardware has been available for at least 11-12 years.  It's particularly surprising given that Ubuntu dropped 32-bit desktop images with 17.10.21:07
=== geard_ is now known as geard
=== qwebirc9469 is now known as alex_d
jasonwcAssuming popularity contest is accurate (a big if, surely), 12% of Debian users are on i386, but about 74% of Ubuntu users are.21:09
CaptainNim shocked people still are using i386s21:10
jasonwcI would imagine the vast majority are using the wrong arch, and that they have 64-bit capable CPUs.  However, netbooks with 32 bit Atoms were popular for a time.21:12
jasonwcBut even those are fairly old - the most recent one appears to have been released in Q1 2009 - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/41411/intel-atom-processor-n280-512k-cache-1-66-ghz-667-mhz-fsb.html21:15
jasonwcActually, there were some later ones - The last Intel processors for computers that lacked 64-bit support were the Lincroft series (Z6xx) of Atom processors. Those were introduced in 2010 and 2011.21:16
hggdhalex_d: see https://usn.ubuntu.com/4017-121:17
OerHeksinteresting, if you want 32 bit iso's, find community volunteers to make it happen?21:17
OerHeksand not only iso, also deb packages21:17
jasonwcOerHeks, I'm not really interested in using 32-bit.  My x86 systems have 16-128GiB of RAM.  I'm just curious why the updated popularity contest numbers show ~75% of Ubunut's users are on i386 when 64-bit hardware has been available for more than a decade and 17.10, 18.04, and 19.04 only released with 64-bit desktop images.  Seems like the stats are wrong.21:19
OerHeksoh, those numbers are not solid, it is hard to get real stats21:20
OerHeksnor downloads iso, nor torrents iso, nor updates figures are available, so any stats are just a thought21:21
jasonwcPresumably Ubuntu has its own statistics.  Hard to believe they would drop i386 without having some sense of the # of users.21:22
OerHeksit is not just ubuntu, it is linux wide..21:22
OerHeksand 'some sense of the users' against the time volunteers need to work, it is not worth it anymore21:23
OerHeksstill, you can install i386, mini iso, or lubuntu21:23
jasonwcI realize that it's hard to get reliable stats for Linux in general, but the Debian numbers seem much more reasonable (12%).  Debian also has a reputation for supporting old hardware and has given no indication it will drop i386 in the near future.  In fact, we know Buster will support it.21:24
jasonwcTrue, still available using the 18.04 LTS mini ISO21:24
hggdhjasonwc: your best source would be the discourse forum Steve pointed out. We cannot really help you here21:25

analogicalis there a terminal command that lets you update the kernel?22:25
xamithanSure,  apt dist-upgrade22:26
usneythe kernel gets updates with the rest of the system?22:26
analogicalxamithan, thanks22:26
OerHekskernel updates comes with the rest, there is a HWE option for 18.04 LTS22:27
OerHeks!hwe22:27
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack22:27
OerHeksand even a hwe-edge, that gives kernel 5.x, or use hwe and wait until 18.04.3 comes out in august22:28

exellCan anyone help me with the 'alias' command. I want to add 'website.com/' to an alias but I want to add parameters after the / within the alias. example wb='website.com/'then wb parameter23:06
sarnoldexell: what are you trying to do?23:07
exell@sarnold cheat a shortcut to cht.sh using the cht alias23:08
sarnoldexell: try this: alias cht=cht.sh23:09
sarnoldthen when you type cht website.com it'll run cht.sh website.com23:09
exell@sarnold it needs to be curl cht.sh/(parameter) but when I try alias cht='curl cht.sh/' it pops an error when i run cht (parameter)23:11
sarnoldexell: oh. *that* can't be done with aliases, a shell function or shell script are your best bets.23:12
sarnoldexell: do you want this only for interactive shells or as something that can be run by other programs or scripts?23:12
exell@sarnold only interacive.. it was to save a bit of time but I thought I could use alias23:14
sarnoldexell: aliases can only work on the leading word of a command, and they don't take parameters23:14
exell@sarnold got ya.. what would you recommend as an alternative for the result I'm looking for?23:16
sarnoldexell: try this: function crt () { curl https://crt.sh/$1 ; }23:17
sarnoldexell: you'll get 404s with that exact url, but it's probably close :)23:17
exell@sarnold cool, i'll probably create a bash script and put it in bin. Many Thanks :D23:19
sarnoldexell: alright, have fun :)23:20
akem_Hey, in Ubuntu 18.04 is there a way to make the file manager nautilus displays total file number in current folder, like a status bar or something, i found some informations but it's only for older version i think.23:41
xamithanThere used to be but it was removed long ago in the old code23:43
xamithanYou should still be able to ctrl+a and get the number23:43
akem_Ok, it works, thanks for the tip xamithan.23:45
