[00:41] I'm trying to rotate my display right with an xorg conf directive and the Xorg log files indicates that my directive is being applied but another directive later overrides it. Does anyone know where I can place this conf file so that it will have precedence? [00:43] it is currently in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [00:44] Is this channel dead? :( === limbo__ is now known as limbo_ [01:42] What are my options for updating a computer on which I install Ubuntu, and can carry files in and out over USB, but have no Internet connection? [01:43] SoItBegins: Is it a laptop? [01:43] No, it is a Dell minibrick of the type you can see at small businesses and schools everywhere. I don’t think it has a Wi-Fi adapter. [01:44] :( [01:45] Though Internet Sharing over Bluetooth isn’t a bad idea, if it has Bluetooth. [01:46] SoItBegins: apt-offline may help [01:46] What is that? [01:46] https://github.com/rickysarraf/apt-offline [01:46] Ooh, that’s encouraging... [01:47] it's in the arxchive so no need to actually use github, it's just convenient to see it there [01:47] Yeah - interesting. [01:47] Um. Is Ubuntu debian-based? I don’t actually know. [01:47] also I'm pretty sure the gui is optional [01:47] And the page says it requires that. === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:51] SoItBegins: Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. Much of the OS design has its origins in Debian, however, the two OS's are very different in their goals and scope [01:51] SoItBegins: yes, ubuntu is derived from debian. 99% of ubvuntu packages came from debian, some are more update in ubuntu, some are more updated in debian, and some may be available only in one or the other [01:51] Ahhhh, gotcha. Thank you both! [01:51] SoItBegins: ubuntu tries to make some [01:51] (sorry, new keyboard) [01:52] make some "tasteful" choices on what software to use by default, configurations, etc, so there's different feeling to both [01:52] some debian users hate the choices ubuntu makes, others make similar choices :) [01:53] I am mostly going to use Ubuntu to run Windows programs and play games, so… I’m not too worried. [01:53] Which Debian-based distros will continue to support Wine, Steam, and other 32-bit applications despite Ubuntu dropping library support? I assume some (most?) Ubuntu-based distros will automatically lose support. [01:54] Hold up, Ubuntu’s dropping 32-bit support? [01:54] calamari: 18.04 will be supported for free until 2023, so thjere's no real rush [01:55] x86-32 -- armhf will probably still be in the next lts, but I will certainly ask if 20.10 should drop armhf too: browsers are huge things and trying to build them on a platform with only ~2 gigs free memory space is miserable [01:57] sarnold: So you're going to wait until 2023 to jump ship? I've been using Ubuntu since Warty, so it's not like I want to leave. [01:57] calamari: Debian itself still continues support for select i386 architectures, but it varies depending on the release. note that 32 bit applications can still run on 64 bit machines. It's specific libraries that Ubuntu/Canonical will no longer be supporting that may affect some programs [01:58] calamari: I haven't used a 32 bit computer in a dozen years or more. no real big problem for me :) [01:59] sarnold: Steam, Wine, Adobe Reader 9 [01:59] Also, snapd continues to provide and support 32bit applications. The current recommendation from canonical is to move apps that need 32 bit support into snap containers [01:59] calamari: I recognize not everyone can replace their systems the way I do, but it's getting harder and harder to build modern software for tiny machines [01:59] running a game from a snap? LOL [02:00] also: snap is cancer that should have died years ago [02:00] I think it [02:00] calamari: Let's keep things on topic, and reserve opinions for #ubuntu-offtopic [02:00] pragmaticenigma: other people offered their opinions [02:00] it's a better delivery mechanism than other iot approaches. I'm not sold on it for desktops stuff. [02:00] so I'm gonna offer mine [02:01] I have it on good authority that solutions are being worked on for 32-bit wine and steam, so in the words of Douglas Adams, "Don't Panic." [02:02] Hold up, hold up, if I want to run Wine in all its glory in Ubuntu, do I need to download 18 LTS (instead of 19)? [02:02] !yy.mm | SoItBegins [02:02] Uh…. I think your bot is on vacation. [02:03] SoItBegins: Please note the Ubuntu uses the YY.MM format for release versions... please remember to include both parts so everyone understands which versions you are referring to [02:03] Ahhhhh. [02:03] v18.04.2 LTS vs v19.04 [02:04] I [02:04] I've never tried wine so no advice from me thjere [02:04] lts releases are usually less trouible [02:04] 19.10 will not provide 32-bit packages from Canonical. 19.04 and earlier will continue to support 32-bit applications until they have reached the respective end-of-life dates [02:04] the others are usually newer software [02:04] So 19.04 is OK. Got it. Thank you. [02:05] 19.04 is End-Of-Life in January, FYI SoItBegins. [02:05] But.... please... everyone.... DON'T PANIC. There are solutions in the works. [02:06] I'm not at liberty right now to say what those look like, but it will be amicable. [02:06] Eickmeyer: will acroread work? [02:06] calamari: I don't know what that is. [02:06] Eickmeyer: That’s fine. I’m probably going to be using Ubuntu only as a secondary computer for playing certain games … including various retro games via Wine. [02:06] Eickmeyer: Adobe Reader 9 [02:06] Suffice it to say, Ubuntu is not the first OS to drop i386 support, other distros have done it and they are still doing just fine [02:07] calamari: More importantly, I cannot predict the future. [02:07] Eickmeyer: It was dropped years ago, but people have found ways to keep it running even up to 18.04 [02:07] calamari: Again, I can't predict the future. [02:08] Eickmeyer: Who are you, why are you claiming you have inside info? [02:08] calamari: I'm the lead for Ubuntu Studio.

I am getting a really weird `Connection Refused` issue on Chromium, on 19.04. [11:41] The issue is like so: I have 2 phones, they connect to the same wifi network. I am trying to load the http://socket.io webpage. On one phone it loads fine, on the other, I get a connection refused error. When I tether with the phone that's getting the error, on Windows I can load the webpage on Chrome fine, on Linux I cannot. [11:42] I can't even ping the page, it is 100% packet loss on Linux [11:42] <_KaszpiR_> or dns problem [11:42] I have tried Google DNS and Cloudflare DNS, neither of them solved the issue. Both phones are running on the same DNS as well, but one loads the page and the other does not. [11:43] ... [11:43] <_KaszpiR_> try other browsers [11:44] <_KaszpiR_> check it it's not a IPv6 [11:44] I did check for ipv6, it does resolve to ipv4 just fine when I try to ping it, but I get 100% packet loss [11:45] I can confirm that my network can _load_ the page since it works on Windows just fine [11:45] <_KaszpiR_> some sites do not respond to ping [11:45] It did on Windows. [11:45] <_KaszpiR_> traceroute? [11:45] What's that [11:46] <_KaszpiR_> helps to see how packets are routed from point A to point B, so for example from your laptop to the destination address (say, web server) [11:46] Also, a point I forgot to mention, when I tether with the other phone, it loads just fine on Linux too [11:46] <_KaszpiR_> google mtr, there is linux and windows verison [11:47] It is only with my main phone that when I tether this weird thing happens [11:48] <_KaszpiR_> maybe one device is fitered on wifi by admin [11:48] Wait [11:48] It works on one phone. But it doesnt work on the phone when you tether it another machine? [11:48] Lemme clear it up better. [11:49] You need to make it clear what your setup is. You said its exactly alike but then you mention that it is not. [11:49] I have 2 phones, both connected to the same wifi. I can tether with both ones, one has a shorter wifi range due to being much older. The newer phone cannot resolve the webpage, the older one can. [11:50] Tethering the old one to my PC, whether on Windows or Linux, and trying to access the webpage, leads to the webpage being resolved normally [11:50] <_KaszpiR_> what do you mean by thether? [11:50] So your laptop is the issue [11:50] ? [11:50] My laptop isn't a laptop but a PC, without wifi [11:50] I connect my phone to my wifi network and tether that to my PC to receive internet [11:50] Running ubuntu? [11:50] <_KaszpiR_> over the usb cable? [11:50] yes, 19.04 [11:50] Yes [11:51] Trace route the one that does not work [11:51] Alright, bear with me. [11:51] Make sure your new phone is providing the correct dns to your machine. [11:51] How do I check? [11:51] And verify that it itself is capable of seeing that webpage [11:51] open terminal [11:51] and use traceroute [11:51] The new phone itself is not capable of seing the webpage. [11:51] or tracepath [11:51] <_KaszpiR_> mtr under under linux, winmtr under windows (gotta install them anyway) [11:51] I tried on android chrome, it does not work [11:51] well then it is not ubuntu is it [11:52] So you have a configuration issue on your phone [11:52] As I said before, when I connect with the new phone, it works fine on Windows [11:52] but my dev environment is on Linux [11:52] That does not matter [11:52] Without tethering [11:52] The new phone does not see the webpage? [11:52] It doesn't but Windows sees it when its tethered to the new phone over USB [11:52] Why is that? [11:53] You need to solve the problem where it starts. [11:53] And that is your phone [11:53] <_KaszpiR_> or maybe your phone browser uses somekind of network proxy [11:53] ^ [11:53] Pinging should work still no? [11:53] <_KaszpiR_> I suggest debugging down the TCP stack [11:54] I honestly don't know how to do that [11:54] But Ill try to traceroute it [11:54] <_KaszpiR_> google, then [11:54] Gimme a moment [11:54] At this point it could be solar flares [11:54] <_KaszpiR_> :D [11:54] <_KaszpiR_> usually it's custom config applied by user [12:00] I tried mtr on it [12:00] It refers back to ip6-localhost [12:09] <_KaszpiR_> tadaaaa.... dns ;D [12:10] bing boom bang [12:41] hi! my (neighbour's) router is running a captive portal for apt/wget but not firefox/irssi (since i'm here). how do i get apt to update? [12:42] If you can have a VPN i guess it would go throught, otherwise i don't know. [12:42] hello everyone, i'm a noob here and i'd really appreciate some help if you could help me. I have an issue with spotify on ubuntu 18.04.02, it plays the music but I can't hear it. I've tried the demo in settings to see if ubuntu detects the speakers and it actually does - i've tried looking on forums for similar issues but i can't seem to find a solution. can anyone help me pls? [12:43] doing `curl -i www.ubuntu.com` yields https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mQYHzYMZF7/ But I can visit Ubuntu homepage on the browser just fine [12:44] https://ubuntu.com takes curl to the actual homepage, though. [12:44] (of ubuntu, not the router) [12:45] Evissima: did you install spotify on ubuntu or are you listening through a browser? [12:45] oh uhm I did install spotify directly on ubuntu [12:45] I tried to use the web version but I can't log in anyways so [12:46] I tried installing spotify on snap and then out of it and the results were the same [12:47] so is it currently installed through a .deb package or a snap? [12:48] rigel_: apparently the captive portal only affects plain HTTP requests, not HTTPS requests, probably not other protocols. so you could either pick a http archive mirror which supports httpS, or one which supports other protocols, such as ftp. [12:48] i think i uninstalled the snap version and i tried to install via deb package but it doesn't show on the apps menu so i actually don't know for sure [12:49] rigel_: alternatively, you could sign in on this (badly configured) captive portal, i guess. [12:49] tomreyn: but isn't the whole thing about apt not needing to support httpS? [12:50] the captive portal is the admin console. i don't have the credentials [12:50] rigel_: i don't understand "isn't the whole thing about apt not needing to support httpS?", can you clarify what you're asking? [12:51] they used to recommend against using https in posts like this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/146108/how-to-use-https-with-apt-get [12:52] rigel_: maybe your neighbour doesn't actually want to share their connection with you? or if they do, maybe you could convince them to improve this rather unusual configuration? [12:52] we're paying them. and for a non power user perspective all seems to work (since most of the background stuff is over ssl these days) [12:53] and ubuntu main repo servers don't seem to work over https. gonna go look for some others [12:54] tomreyn: and there's this whole site, btw https://whydoesaptnotusehttps.com/ [12:54] rigel_: https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#ubuntu_archivemirrors_https [12:54] tomreyn: thanks! :-) [12:55] rigel_: both the askubuntu.com post you point to and this website explain why apt does not need to use https to be able to authenticate packages. but i don't see them recommending *against* using https, do i miss something? [12:56] i suppose i was reading too much into it. but them not supporting https also leads one to that conclusion. [12:59] my understanding is that the only two reasons we don't have https everywhere on archive and iso image mirrors, yet, is (a) undisclosed pre TLS 1.3 test results from a while ago on the performance overhead, (b) the need to redesign the system and mirroring arhcitecture to introduce the change. [12:59] and obviously the problem just fixed itself right now, while still using http. i have no idea what caused this or how to fix this, but thanks for riding along with me! [13:00] you could use a VPN if this keeps behaving erratically and interferes with your internet access. === jstein_ is now known as jstein [14:16] When I type "ff" it appears lower than the rest of the characters [14:16] Example: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/bvjq0tAR/image.png [14:17] no, an F should be lower than E and A [14:17] by design [14:18] check out all your fonts [14:36] Anyone knows whether the notification center of xfce can get configured to be clickable with url?

[15:46] use "ip route" rather than "route" [15:50] Hello tomreyn if you remember me, I am the one that was having huge Xorg ram consumption issue. Seems I was wrong in my initial assesment. The RAM consumption did increase even without suspend but usually in slow increments. There is already a bug on launchpad in from 2014 where this occured in KDE + Xorg + Nvidia. Which apparently I qualify for. T [15:50] he only fix that has worked for me is switching to Intel GPU instead of Nvidia from the Nvidia profiles. I also saw the output from xrestop and nothing was suspicious. Max memory was used by Kwin that was about 45M. [15:52] So the fix for me is using Intel instead of Nvidia. [16:01] If I did `adduser --system foo`, what's the correct way to turn foo into a full-fledged regular user? [16:01] (I don't need a password though) [16:01] I just need it to be able to login (via `sudo su`), with a shell. [16:01] so change it's shell from /bin/false [16:02] xamithan: you mean from /usr/sbin/nologin [16:02] Sure [16:02] In /etc/passwd, that's all I need, right? [16:02] To make it a real user you'd need to change its uid and home dir though [16:03] if all you need is a shell a usermod -s /bin/bash or whatever should work [16:03] shinoda: hi. using the intel gpu instead of the nvidia one may be a workaround, but i'd hardly call it a "fix". i'm not convinced that a 2014 bug report (unless it has constantly grown since) has anything to do with this issue you had on a newer ubuntu release. [16:04] shinoda: which bug did you look at? [16:05] Sure. tomreyn I meant it as a workaround and not a fix. Here you go : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates/+bug/1402551 [16:05] Launchpad bug 1402551 in kde-workspace (Ubuntu) "High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia]" [Undecided,In progress] [16:07] shinoda: so... this is about ubuntu 12.04 (though it is also tagged "trusty", so 14.04, both have reached end-of-life since) [16:08] i expect that nvidia drivers will have changed somewhat since then, and surely ubuntu and the linux kernel have. [16:08] shinoda: which ubuntu version are you running there? [16:09] Yes tomreyn I am aware. But I saw this issue is not unique to Ubuntu. I saw the same issue raised by several others on forums for centos, arch and all of them had KDE as their desktop environment. I am using 18.04. [16:09] shinoda: did you any recent reports on this, though, and where? [16:10] tomreyn I will have to check my history. BRB. [16:12] tomreyn this one is latest : https://forum.manjaro.org/t/xorg-progressively-uses-more-video-memory-the-longer-i-keep-my-computer-on/80234/21 others are 2 < years old. [16:19] shinoda: hmm, while most people seem to be referring to Xorg RAM allocation there, others seem to mix up RAM and VRAM there. i'm not even sure which of the two the nvidia-smi utility displays, do you know? [16:21] i suspect it shows VRAM. [16:21] tomreyn I am not sure. But I am sure that I am talking consupmtion of RAM and not VRAM. [16:22] do a memtest86 run [16:22] and check your logs, the size of a log can tell something === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [16:24] ls [16:24] LOL [16:25] shinoda: i think it'd be good if you filed a bug report about this, since you're affected and can reproduce. while using the nvidia grpahics card, run: ubuntu-bug xserver-org [16:25] tomreyn Ok sure. [16:26] tomreyn Should I wait till the memory reaches the peak or just do it once on fresh boot and once after ? [16:27] shinoda: i'd say wait until it reaches an unexpectedly high value (maybe >200 MB while you have no applications running) [16:28] tomreyn I really don't think it will increase if its put to idle. I have to keep using it to increase the Xorg's consumption. [16:29] shinoda: and if you close applications it will decrease to low values again? [16:29] tomreyn Nope. If it reaches a value it doesn't come down. It only goes up. [16:31] so drive Xorg RSZ up to >200 MB, then close all graphical applications, then file the bug report. [16:31] tomreyn Noted. Thank you. [16:33] what you're reporting is a supected memory leak which is specific to the proprietary nvidia driver and kde [16:33] (so that's soemthing you could write when reporting the bug) [16:34] @tomreyn, sorry had to run due to the storm.

It takes insane amount of time for me to copy paste by hand (thanks Hyper-V for not having clipboard share) and I cannot SSH either unless I disable the internal/local network. [16:44] tomreyn: no, it's a pendrive [16:47] ryahi_skaprinav: sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:48] tomreyn: https://termbin.com/bryb [16:48] !pastebin | Aa155: you can use a pastebin service, too (but if you consider this sensitive info, it's ok to PM) [16:48] Aa155: you can use a pastebin service, too (but if you consider this sensitive info, it's ok to PM): For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [16:49] ryahi_skaprinav: i guess you can tell by yourself this looks broken [16:49] ryahi_skaprinav: do you have another computer which you can attach it to? [16:49] yea I know pastebin, but I cannot pastebin from the VM.. there is no internet on it, there is no SSH to go to it, I can only literally copy paste it by hand [16:49] tomreyn: yes can see the broken parts and i have tried to connect to various pc [16:49] But sure... sure... your help is much appreciated, I guess I'll just like transcend to some kind of next mental plane once I finish copying out 30 lines :D [16:50] tomreyn sure. [16:50] Aa155: you can just remove the wrong default gateway and then you have an internet connection, don't you? [16:50] like with route del? [16:51] but how do I add that to Netplan's config? I did see similar in Hetzner's config with "ifup", they use like "post if-up" and add routes... I guess that could work. But how do I into that with Netplan? Oo [16:52] tomreyn: thanks for the help [16:52] maybe these examples shine a light.. https://netplan.io/examples [16:52] Aa155: i'm not discussing how to permanently fix this right now, just to temporarily enable you to post something to the internet for now, so you can share our netplan configuration. once i've seen this we can then discuss how to permanently fix it. [16:52] Aa155: https://askubuntu.com/questions/547018/how-do-i-delete-an-entry-in-ip-route-list [16:53] ryahi_skaprinav: so it was also not working reliably on other computers? [16:53] sure, imma copy it out. :D @OerHeks trust me I read 'em all... read em and weep [16:53] tomreyn: no it's not working at all. I can't even create a partition table on it. [16:53] ryahi_skaprinav: then it's indeed "return to sender" [16:54] tomreyn: yup agreed [16:55] @tomreyn, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/p2P65FBw3B/ [16:56] Aa155: is there a reason to have a semicolon followed by a colon on the "routes" line? [16:56] dhcp4: yes [16:56] Hi can anyone help me upgrade my postgresql, I installed version 11 and now I can't access my database [16:56] not true [16:56] Anyone knows how to make these topics in notification area clickable so that these load in firefox(where most come from in the first place)? https://imgur.com/a/Jfa7Zg7 [16:56] @oerhe [16:56] @OerHeks, you can use true, false, no, yes, they are all accepted... don't ask me why is it like that [16:57] @tomreyn, that was just a copy-paste mistake, I am sorry, had to write it with hand [16:57] it's not present in the active config, 'netconfig apply' runs without fault [16:58] netplan is all about correct annotation> ameservers: addresses: [ 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4] [16:58] if I remove the gateway4 directive from the static interface (so local only), I can ping internet again, but, I cannot reach the host/gateway once again. So I am kinda in the same position, just now I have internet, and no local share. :D [16:58] @OerHeks, yea tbh the local interface don't even need the nameservers directives, but you can also specify them this or that way. it seems to have two kind of ways to do anything... [16:59] maybe I should just move to ifup? thought I'd "progress" since I guess Ubuntu would like keep using netplan in future releases too [17:00] Aa155: indentation matters, too, i think. [17:00] Aa155: netplan is just yaml abstraction for a backend. you can always use the backend (networkd or NM) directly. [17:00] Aa155: and yes, i agree you'll most likely want to remove the gateway4 line [17:00] (as in, netplan per se doesn't do anything but configure something else) [17:01] @tomreyn, yea I know, I had plenty of errors due to one missing space or whatnot, but luckily both "apply" and "try" will tell you what you messed up. I mean if I remove the gateway, then I have no local network again -> I can't reach my share again. [17:01] the generated systemd-networkd configuration should be somewhere in /run/ [17:02] found some guide online (had around 50+ google searches by now?) that mentioned the /run/ thing [17:02] but that looked clean/neat [17:03] but your network share is on the 192.168.0.0-255 network? [17:04] the network share is the virt server itself, it's present on 192.168.0.1, and I just want to reach a share really [17:05] I tried using Vmware locally as a test, with shared folders, but even just a traffic of like 10M/s peaked my 4.5ghz CPU to like 80% on all cores [17:05] ie.: cifs/samba would be much more suitable... well, if I could somehow configure two network interfaces up, lol [17:05] I mean it's okay, ifup will do the job too, just wanted to like... you know, learn a bit. who knows, maybe netplan is the future, then it can't hurt to know more about it. [17:06] but does your virtualization make services running on the host system available to the guests network? [17:06] well i guess you already confirmed it does [17:06] yea yea, it works beautiful normally [17:06] but the problem is, I want to run the company VPN (which re-routes internet) on the main interface [17:06] so then, I cannot ping / reach the host from there [17:06] so I need a second card [17:07] its'... "fun"... (: [17:07] thanks for the help by the way, much appreciated [17:07] guess this time I'll go to sleep with Mr. Poettering's grinning face. ;_; [17:07] anyone know how to disable ubuntu dpms stuff while virtio is in use? [17:14] Aa155: so IMO you should not have any of these static routes. if reaching the network share at 192.168.0.1 does really not work without any static reoutes (and both interfaces up), try adding this (\n designates a newline) for eth0: - to: 192.168.0.1/32\nvia:192.168.0.1\non-link: true [17:17] i.e. try without any static routes, without any static gateway4, first of all. [17:20] then there is internet but no local network/route [17:21] ie.: can't access server+share [17:21] the devil's trap [17:24] even after you add this hacky static route? [17:38] @tomreyn, yea... now trying ifup lol [17:38] oh man, why this hefff to be so hard. :D [17:46] can someone let me know why my systemd (user) unit is not executed until i login via tty? [17:46] https://zerobin.net/?0cc4ee4dcabdafe0#cgfvuwAG34hVMAqjxnmrWOXN6aBGpFWQTyv/FWTBwcI= [17:50] because that's how systemd user units work (only start after login), unless you have lingering enabled (sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER) [17:54] https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Valve-Dropping-Official-Ubuntu [17:54] tomreyn: okay, thank you for clarifying this [17:56] valve should provide a 64 bit steam client, grinn [18:00] https://pics.me.me/is-%E5%90%88-when-you-use-arch-linux-and-you-havent-2560218.png [18:02] not going to click that, looks like #offtopic [18:04] it is, but funny ) [18:05] alienz: you might not know, but this is not a channel where you can just paste url's you like. [18:05] where i can? ) [18:05] How can I tell what is preventing me from SSHing into a remote server? [18:05] #ubuntu-offtopic is an example [18:05] ok, thanks and sorry ) === jmcgnh_ is now known as jmcgnh [18:06] ssh -vvv tells a lot about route [18:07] mindofmateo: and look for the error messages when you try. We need to know what they say [18:08] Hello all, I am trying to pair to my Beats Bluetooth Headphones; Problem is there are dozens of bluetooth devices in my circumference and I am not able to destinguish my device by name when scanning; I only see MAC addresses and I do not know the MAC for my deice. :/ [18:09] Is there any list or package that can be installed to help my computer identify device by name? [18:09] termbin.com/koxy This is what it outputs when I use `ssh -vvv` after that it just hangs. [18:11] mindofmateo: are you able to access any other services on the same server (eg even just ping it)? can you ssh in ok from other networks? [18:13] Oh, I thought I could, but pinging the server times out. [18:16] mindofmateo: ping uses ICMP by default; most firewall implementations block ICMP traffic. But it seems your access to the target at port 22 is also being blocked, either locally or remote [18:21] thank you [18:32] Hi [18:33] I started [18:46] wow. what's wrong with the bluetooth settings panel? [18:47] ...... has its author actually used bluetooth? [18:47] .... have you? [18:48] no because i can't seem to turn bluetooth on [18:49] the only effect the control has is to turn on airplane mode [18:49] Gallomimia: sounds like a firmware rfkill control issue [18:50] i'm sorry a what?

[18:58] They have worked fine since Ubuntu 14.04, except for losing them [18:58] yes! same problem [18:58] bloody meth heads..... [18:59] There is firmware for it but I only needed the firmware for HSP/HFP in 16.04 [19:00] Gallomimia: what is the actual problem? you said you cannot turn it on but it turns off, which implies it was already 'on' [19:02] it never shows me any option besides "hey turn it on so you can use it" [19:02]
