=== zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:41] hi, is there a way to mount as a non-root user? [02:43] Putting the "user" flag in /etc/fstab? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/mount.8.html [02:44] hmm, can I mount it manually? [02:45] See the example with the "user" flag. Then you can mount it as a non-root user. [02:45] Look for /The non-superuser mounts/ in the man page. [02:47] cool! [02:47] Also remember that 'sudo' is very useful for those types of tasks too. [02:52] I have a port flap that is happening on on leg of my Mlag when I try to copy data from one network to the other. There is a jumbo frame mismatch between them. I know mixing frame size is a bad thing and will be fixed on Tueday. The wierd thing is that 4 nodes that are my proxmox hosts are connected to the same network, the only difference is that these hosts have OVS bonds and bridge and my other hosts have only linux bond and linux bridge. The OVS servers [02:52] are not dropping their ports but the kernal linux will start to flap and will contiunue to do so till the machine is rebooted. [02:52] Has anyone see this before? [02:56] does anyone knows if the 18.04 can work in an atom 1.8Ghz? [02:59] Yes it should work fine [03:00] Will need light DE === [b0b] is now known as b0b [03:30] !snap [03:30] Snaps are containerised software packages similar to flatpaks or appimage.

[03:34] cheers [03:53] I'm encountering what I think is a bad interaction between EFI-secureboot induced lockdown and imsm mdadm fakeraid [03:54] I wanted to ask around in here if this was a known issue, and any extra steps I should take before filing a bug. [03:55] I'm on 18.10, and am currently updating to 19.04 I will check to see if the issue remains. [03:59] mdadm --assemble --scan fails to read the imsm metadata. [03:59] If I do an strace, it attempts to read from /dev/mem and is denied. [04:00] There is a message in the dmesg logs about mdadm and kernel_lockdown.7 [04:00] but no such manpage exists.

[06:55] flowtron: what with specifically? [06:56] blackflow: like /sbin/sysctl /bin/cat /bin/chmod and /bin/grep .. I could go on, but comparing those would help me relax or deepen my panic! ;-) [06:57] flowtron, if the .iso checks out there is no need to checksum the components [06:57] flowtron: /var/lib/dpkg/info/.md5sums : list of MD5 hash values for files installed by the package. [06:57] flowtron: ah you want to compare it with an existing xenial installation... yeah sorry, can't help you wiht that. however, did you try debsums? [06:58] cfhowlett: not a fresh install .. and I already ran debsums Bashing-om .. thank you .. but if the system is compromised I can't trust /anything/ [06:58] flowtron: not even the md5sum tho [06:58] I mounted the filesystem and ran md5sum from my client [06:58] so I guess you'll be checking from a rescue env or another boot of some kind?

Lubuntu official site has removed the files :-/ .. here's some russians offering files .. http://linux.psu.ru/lubuntu-releases/12.04/release/ [07:44] hello, I am double booting ubuntu and windows. suddenly, I cannot load ubuntu. I can see the grub menu, and windows is loading, but not ubuntu. When I select ubuntu the screen continues to be purple-ish but all the text disappears. Maybe anybody has some tips? [07:45] paul1us: try editing the kernel line in grub and replacing 'quiet splash' with 'debug ignore_loglevel' [07:46] (press e in grub over the entry to edit it, then F10 to boot the new entry) [07:48] EriC^^, thank you. I do not find quiet splash there. [07:49] correction, I did find it. [07:50] I replaced it and it loaded into the purple screen again and nothing seems to happen further. Should I restart the computer? [07:51] paul1us: did you press F10 to boot it? [07:51] i did press ctrl+x as an alternative. [07:52] aha [07:52] so restart and redoit with F10 ? :D [07:52] try booting an older kernel and see what happens [07:52] nah [07:52] EriC^^, ok, how do I do that? [07:52] go to advanced > choose one [07:53] so for now, I should still restart the computer? [07:53] yeah, try ctrl+alt+del or the sysrq trick [07:53] as the purple screen I am seeing doesn't have any text/options [07:54] ctrl+alt+del did not do anything. Ok, so I restarted. pressed on advanced. and how should I choose the recovery mode or not? [07:56] paul1us: no, choose Ubuntu with kernel blablabla pick any one [07:57] EriC^^, it loaded, thank you. What's next? Do I have to keep doing this every time now? or.... ? [07:58] paul1us: set it as the default loading kernel for now til maybe a newer kernel has a fix for your issue, use /etc/default/grub 's GRUB_DEFAULT to set it [07:58] then sudo update-grub === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit [08:02] Hi, when I go to a tty it somehow locks up my graphical session (ubuntu gnome x11 on 18.04), and when I go back to x11 tty and logs in, it somehow closes my session (sometimes it works). How do I disable that weird auto lock? Thanks for your help. [08:04] hi all, has anyone ever encountered this thing where you move your mouse to your second monitor and then the desktop on the second monitor starts scrolling into your first monitor relative to how far you move your mouse into your second monitor ? [08:05] its kinda like having two desktops, on one monitor.. but with a second monitor only showing you whats happening on the second desktop and the first monitor scrolling around the desktops [08:22] EriC^^, I got myself into a pickle. I loaded Ubuntu with an older kernel as adviced, and changed the GRUB_DEFAULT and ran sudo update-grub. Then I restarted the pc. Default suggested option now became the one I had loaded previously. However when I tried to load it, It said Loadinx Linux ... /n Loading initial ramdisk ... and it gets stuck here. [08:25] then I restarted the computer tried to load this version again and it would get me to the same place - stuck. Then I loaded another kernel version. It loaded well. then I tried to edit the /etc/defaul/grub again and eventually it got me stuck again. Any help would be appreciated :) [08:26] paul1us: hmm [08:26] no idea tbh [08:29] I think I'll move to another DE/WM and I won't have the issue anymore [08:30] good test Exagone313! [08:31] EriC^^, I created a backup of the etc/default/grub Is there any way to access it? [08:32] you could sudo mv it to the existing grub target to achieve an overwrite [08:32] paul1us: advanced > one of the recovery options [08:33] cfhowlett: well I'm used to i3 but I'm at new work and I wanted to keep things simple [08:33] EriC^^, I tried to use recovery options but they run into the same problem [08:33] paul1us: so right now the booting is intermittent or ..? [08:33] Exagone313, completely understandable. fortunately linux/ubuntu = choice! [08:33] but I alerady lost my session once and it has happened again few minutes ago but I didn't open anything important yet [08:33] paul1us: if you go to advanced again and manually choose an older kernel it doesnt boot? [08:34] EriC^^, now ubuntu is not booting at all. I can only get into grub and to "start" loading smth but it stops on the "Loading initial ramdisk " line [08:34] EriC^^, nope, it doesn't [08:35] I have 4 options in the Advanced menu, and neither of them is loading [08:35] would the live CD help? [08:36] cfhowlett, from where would I be able to do this move? [08:36] paul1us, I think the command protocol would be sudo mv oldgrub targetgrub [08:37] assuming you backed up the entire grub file [08:39] cfhowlett, yes. I did make a copy with sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [08:39] there it is! reverse that command and you should be back to your first problem state [08:39] I am very much a noob here, so if you could guide me through it it would be muuuch appreciated. [08:40] cfhowlett, cool, but how do I access the terminal? [08:40] paul1us, we are ALL noobs :) [08:40] ah, yes. [08:40] catch-22 [08:40] so either boot into recovery mode [08:41] or boot an ubuntu USB/CD to get a live session, chroot to your installed OS and then operate from there. [08:41] I believe, that recovery mode doesn't boot :D [08:41] please verify [08:41] that was a nice way of saying "I tried it before and neither for 2 recovery options work" [08:42] OK then: boot from the USB [08:42] cool, live CD it is. I will need the guidance with that too [08:42] or live cd, yes [08:42] cool. boot up and come back to IRC [08:43] I inserted the liveUSB, but just in case, tried a recovery option again and it worked. So I am in the recovery menu. what's next ? [08:44] do I select root ? [08:47] yep [08:49] ok, I'm in. I tried typing sudo mv etc/defaul/grub.bak /etc/default/grub. nothing seemingly happened. [08:50] wait 1 [08:50] Hi all, how are we supposed to install Java on 19.04 desktop? there are so many google results each telling a different story, is there a "Proper" way using the software install GUI tool thing [08:51] then I tried to navigate to /etc/default/grub and it said it's not a directory. I did cd .. and then ll I saw etc/ folder. I cd into it, saw default folder, cd into it. then I saw grub there tried to cd into it, but it said it's not a dirctory [08:51] however, I did not see grub.bak [08:53] sudo update grub to write the changes over to /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:55] no .bak because you are writing the backup to the original location and renaming, i.e. sudo mv grub.bak /etc/default/grub [09:02] paul1us: did you boot a live usb? [09:02] as I understand it, his recovery mode unexpectedly worked [09:03] ah [09:03] EriC^^, yes, the recovery unexpectedly worked. [09:03] I am currently trying to make it work [09:03] paul1us: can you go to recovery > start networking === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit [09:03] then drop to root shell and type "cat /etc/default/grub /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link it gives you here [09:03] but we need to present our project in a sec, so I will come back soon-ish [09:04] no pressure I'm sure [09:06] cfhowlett, hopefully the work is on different laptops, it's just that it would be annoying to reinstall ubuntu [09:06] true [09:07] so...... again. I am curently in the terminal, because I selected root option from the recovery. What do I do now? [09:08] well that sucks [09:08] EriC^^, I can exit and try to ender into the option with networking [09:09] k [09:09] silly question, how do I exit this terminal thing? just hard restarting the computer? [09:09] paul1us: what terminal thing ? [09:10] tachikomas, I am in the recovery menu and selected root option. [09:10] just reboot then [09:10] tachikomas, thank you :) [09:13] ok, so now again the recovery options are not working. then I will boot from liveUSB [09:14] paul1us: can you tell me what happend ? === zorael^ is now known as zorael [09:14] tachikomas, you mean from the beginnning? [09:14] Yes please [09:21] a friend apporached me with a problem, she's been double booting windows and ubuntu. For some reason her ubuntu is not booting anymore, but she can see the Grub screen. I went into advanced options, loaded with an older kernel, created a backup of grub, edited grub, saved it, updated it. then restarted the machine. the same kernel did not work. I tried to do it with another one. same story. now I have two kernels that are not loadi [09:21] ng. they get stuck on "Loading initail ramdisk". Then I tried to load recovery options, they were not working. then I inserted LiveUSB and one of the recovery options started to work. I chose the root option and tried overwrite the current version with the backup. I do not know if it worked. then someone said that we should choose the recovery option with networking, then I wanted to exit the terminal but couldn't and then you sugg [09:21] ested restarting and booting the liveUSB. I am now staring into the Grub of LiveUSB. Should I choose Try Ubuntu without installing?

I will be back in a bit. [10:04] paul1us: /etc/default/grub doesn't look changed [10:04] well good luck then [10:04] If you write the instructions, I will execute them as soon as I have time. [10:04] thank you :) [10:04] instructions for what [10:07] paul1us: i have no idea why its not booting anymore, this might be some hardware issue since its intermittent, you'd need to troubleshoot stuff, check logs etc [10:07] hi. [10:07] hello ubuntu what is the command to know the architecture of my laptop 64 bit or 32 bit? [10:07] anyways i wanted to see if /etc/default/grub had any wrong changes to revert them, but it looks unchanged anyways [10:07] i made a softlink but it has lock symbol on it. i can not edit files in the softlink [10:08] bryanroderyck: sudo dmidecode | grep bit [10:08] when i check properties of the softlink shortcut, owner appears root [10:08] that s why i cant edit files [10:09] i used command ln -s ...

[13:25] ok I will take a look [13:26] Hey, I have an encrypted SSD (ubuntu FDE) that died. I can mount the drive occasionally on my laptop but need the space to backup the drive so trying to do it from my desktop [13:26] However the failed drive has the same LVM volume names as the current OS, what can I do?? [13:27] obviously the /dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root isn't available so I think its failing [13:27] what is up with the send support crash report box that always pops up [13:27] i don't understand why it always comes back === coconut2nd is now known as coconut [13:29] loganrun: You can look in /var/crash for a listing of applications that have crash logs pending to be sent as a report. If nothing is of concern to you in there, you can delete the files in that directory. If it happens again, It would be a good idea to investigate that application [13:30] pragmaticenigma: oh, so once they are sent it delete the report? [13:30] pragmaticenigma: so the box does not come back up? is that how it is supposed to work? [13:33] loganrun: Once you have acknowledge there was an application crash, it will clear. It depends on what popup you are seeing === BurekzFinezt is now known as Burek [13:35] tomreyn are you there?

[14:07] apt-cache policy g++ only shows the one i have installed [14:09] Hi, during installation of 18.04, how do i manually create a encrypted swap partition ? [14:12] jellycode, apt-cache search g++ | grep '^g++' [14:13] Thanks ioria. it turns out that this article has the exact instructions i need, but it seems it's applicable to Ubuntu 16.04 and i'm using 14.04. https://www.systutorials.com/241490/how-to-install-older-version-gcc-g-in-ubuntu-other-linux-distro-are-similar/ === VegetarianFalcon is now known as LordOfTheRings [14:14] jellycode: 14.04 is EOL [14:14] !eol | jellycode [14:14] jellycode: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:14] understood [14:14] or is it better to use a swapfile ?? Or does Ubuntu 18.04 automatically use its own swapfile without me doing anything? [14:15] miu5, you asked how to see 'what versions of g++ i can install from apt' [14:15] that was me [14:15] yep wrong person ioria [14:15] im asking something else lol [14:15] miu5, sorry [14:15] We use 14.04 because it has a really old version of GLIBC which means the binaries we compile will work on most linux's [14:16] isn't there a web UI where i can browse the list of binaries in apt? [14:16] I found this, but it's broken :( https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/g++-4.4 [14:17] jellycode, can you paste the output of my cmd === LordOfTheRings is now known as VegetarianFalcon [14:17] jellycode: sorry, but we cannot support you with 14.04 here. Feel free to sign up for https://ubuntu.com/esm and seek official support there. [14:19] thanks leftyfb , it turns out i was able to do it after running apt update [14:19] is swap file activated by default on Ubuntu 18.04 or do i need to create one if i want to do manual ubuntu installation?? [14:23] miu5, i think so [14:24] ioria, you think its activated by default? [14:24] miu5, in automatic partitioning, yes and yes you need falloate if you do the manual one [14:24] jellycode: note that if "we" run a non-commercial / personal project there, you can have up to three systems benefit from !ESM for free. [14:29] miu5: btw, the firefox flash package shoul dnow be available on the canonical-partner repository. [14:31] thanks tomreyn ! [14:32] and ioria in custom installation im leaning towards it not being necessary as it says from 18.04 it uses a swap file instead and i can configure that later no? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1075505/how-do-i-increase-swapfile-in-ubuntu-18-04#1075516 [14:33] miu5, you can do whatever later [14:33] tomreyn are you there?

This channel focuses on support of official software provided through Ubuntu's primary software channels. [15:11] ok [15:14] How do i create a Gnome Panel Launcher that will start emacs with all my login shell env vars? ($SHELL = bash) [15:18] subopt, have you tried to launching a terminal and then invoke emacs ? [15:19] ioria: Yes. That works fine, of course. [15:20] hi [15:21] subopt: create a .desktop file for emacs with Terminal=true [15:22] tomreyn: Will that start a terminal too? [15:22] it'll start emacs in a terminal, you need to do this anyways, right? [15:23] subopt, other than that, you could try to set the vars in ~/.profile [15:24] tomreyn : Not if i use tcsh (shudder). With csh/tcsh i can simply execute "csh -c 'emacs >& /dev/null'", and it acts like using 'disown' in bash. [15:24] Can't make it work with 'bash -e' though [15:26] subopt: maybe you want bash -c ? [15:29] you can also ask bash questions in #bash [15:29] tomreyn : Thanks. That worked (with '-l') [15:30] tomreyn : Yes, thought it'd be a gnome question though, and #gnome was dead so i came here. Thanks again! [15:32] you're welcome (if you also run this on ubuntu) === MassDebates_ is now known as MassDebates [15:42] Simple one - just getting a feel for what most folks do now. Workstation on 18.04 - wanting to test / develop esp. towards CI/automation in virtual environments. Outside of VMWare Workstation (and VirtualBox... ugh, don't trust oracle), do most folks just go for gnome-boxes? [15:43] short verson - how do y'all do your virtualization? :D [15:43] poot, Gnome-boxes is shiny but it took all of 5 minutes to find a missing feature I needed. I'd use Vbox or virt-manager. [15:43] virt-manager isn't much harder to use than Vbox. [15:43] yeah, virt-manager isn't as shiny, but it hasn't let me down [15:45] poot: gnome-boxes is great if your needs are straightforward (e.g., I just need a box up and running within a few minutes) [15:45] poot: but if you need features like network interface bridging and better graphics support, vbox is probably a better choice [15:46] vbox = virtual box? [15:46] poot: yeah (saw your comment about that, but options are limited :-) ) [15:46] lol - I get it. I just... worked for a company that got acquired by oracle. [15:47] I have abiding hate that is OT for #ubuntu :D [15:47] virt-manager works really well for more advanced stuff too, but spice isn't really that great in my experience so far [15:47] yeah - I'm probably not doing anything so heavy as to require strong gfx/driver support. [15:48] poot: then I would start with gnome-boxes and move to virt-manager if you need to [15:48] mostly ansible/puppet testing [15:48] then you may not want virtualization at all, but just containers? [15:48] Cool. I like 'em both. Didn't know if there was a more "ubuntu-y" way [15:48] that too^^ [15:49] Yeah, vagrant and docker are on the menu, but that's down the road for what I have in mind. [15:49] lxd > docker [15:51] I'll put that on the backburner. One technology at a time, lol. Thanks tomreyn [16:27] hi. how can i change owner of soft link? [16:27] it appears as root and doesnt let me edit the files inside it [16:39]
