[00:04] <woenx> Hello. Google didn't help me on this one. I'm trying to power off an on a usb hard drive. I can power it off by using udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX. But can a hard drive be powered on after that without having to manually reconnect the usb cable?
[01:46] <Mcl0vin> holla, i am running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS for some reason after reboot everytime i will have to issue netplan apply for my box to be able to ping anything. i.e after reboot if i do ping www.google.com it will fail , but after i do sudo netplan apply and then ping it passes ! any idea what i am missing here?
[01:52] <lordcirth_> Mcl0vin, I have seen this happen when netplan tries to rename interfaces - can you pastebin your netplan config?
[01:56] <C0nundrum> Hello
[01:58] <C0nundrum> I'm did clean install of unbuntu 16.04 server edition install some dev libraries , cuda, and nvidia drivers. For some reason something networking / ssh related cause me to get what i think are kernal panicks. If i boot with ethernet unplugged i am actually able to get to a console other the screen just goes black
[02:01] <Bashing-om> C0nundrum: Graphic's driver issue ? what results booting with the 'nomodeset' boot parameter ?
[02:01] <C0nundrum> actually couple mins past and i also just got a black screen.
[02:01] <C0nundrum> HM i will try that and see
[02:06] <C0nundrum> Bashing-om black screen
[02:15] <Bashing-om> C0nundrum: Yukkie .. getting deep here then . Can you SSH in to the server ?
[02:33] <C0nundrum> No it seems like its a kernal panic
[02:33] <C0nundrum> ssh and and everything else goes down as soon as the screen turns off
[02:36] <C0nundrum> What got me the furthest in the boot process so far is removing the nvidia card and not using hdmi on the motherboard but using vga
[02:36] <sarnold> did the panic make it to the logs?
[02:36] <C0nundrum> When it crashes text get a blue shadow and either stay like that or the screen turns off then the machine is inaccessible
[02:37] <C0nundrum> And also not having ethernet plugged in
[03:32] <skyark> hi is there a version of ubuntu for an Intel Atom 1.8Ghz, I want to install openbox or something like that
[03:32] <OerHeks> mini iso and then openbox
[03:32] <OerHeks> !mini
[03:33] <skyark> Thanks
[03:33] <OerHeks> else see lubuntu r mate ..
[03:33] <OerHeks> !flavors
[03:33] <skyark> i tried too but it runs kind slow
[03:36] <skyark> haven't heard of ubuntu budgie
[03:41] <ryuo> skyark: is that a 64 bit atom?
[03:41] <ryuo> skyark: some of the early ones were 32 bit only.
[03:47] <skyark> ryuo: yes it is!
[03:48] <skyark> it is D525
[04:04] <rwp> skyark, I have several Atom D525 based systems runing, ahem, Debian, and they run fine.  But all of mine are headless.  However "a little slow" might be a general discription of the venerable D525 which is designed for low power consumption.  They all run fine however.
[04:05] <ryuo> skyark: personally i'd suggest lubuntu or xubuntu for a low resource system, but the D525 should be able to take at least 2G
[04:06] <ryuo> says here it can take 4G
[04:06] <ryuo> might be worthwhile to max it out if it isn't already.
[04:07] <ryuo> it could help with performance a bit, depending on what you're intending to do with it.
[04:11] <skyark> ryuo: actualy i have a zotac pc id33br whit a nvidia ion, it was for a media center whit openelec but it cant reproduce the codec h265 and i want to use it.
[04:12] <ryuo> skyark: ah. yea... i had one of those. they're too old to support hardware acceleration of h265.
[04:12] <skyark> rwp: What are you doing whit your atom PC?
[04:13] <rwp> One of them is my main email server and web server.  Another is my backup server machine.  Things that need to run 24x7 but don't really need huge performance.
[04:13] <skyark> ryuo: i was thinking to replace it whit a raspberry 4
[04:14] <ryuo> skyark: well, maybe you can. just keep in mind rPI4 isn't like PC arch, so there'll be some differences.
[04:15] <ryuo> i wonder if there's a VAAPI backend for its unique API for its hardware acceleration.
[04:15] <ryuo> skyark: you could also try some older Intel based boards. i think all Intel GPUs since Broadwell has H.265
[04:16] <skyark> rwp: backup server... How is that concept or how do you use it?
[04:16] <skyark> ryuo: Theres is no review on that on youtube.
[04:16] <skyark> yet
[04:17] <ryuo> skyark: rPI4?
[04:17] <ryuo> skyark: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration#Comparison_tables
[04:17] <ryuo> evidently H.265 is in...
[04:17] <ryuo> Braswell and newer or Broxton
[04:18] <ryuo> Braswell... that's an intel atom platform. N3150 and such.
[04:20] <skyark> do you have an media center or something like that?
[04:21] <ryuo> skyark: i was using an RPI3 for that before, but it requires special software to work. updates might be a bit problematic.
[04:22] <WebDoll> How can I set umask for Apache's www-data user?
[04:23] <skyark> ryuo: i have one too whit the libreelec OS
[04:23] <pragmaticenigma> WebDoll: what are you trying to do exactly?
[04:23] <ryuo> WebDoll: easiest way i can think of is to set the umask from the systemd service.
[04:23] <ryuo> WebDoll: but maybe there's a better solution if we knew what you're trying to do.
[04:24] <rwp> skyark, There are many different choices.  BackupPC has been working well for me for a smaller number of other systems.  Good up through about a dozen before it starts to slow down on an Atom based server.
[04:24] <ryuo> skyark: x86 solution is generally more expensive but might be easier to work with as the architecture is fairly uniform and common.
[04:25] <ryuo> skyark: up to you.
[04:25] <ryuo> skyark: but a recent Intel Atom or Core based board would probably have the feature you want.
[04:26] <rwp> The Raspberry Pis up through 3 have all been good at what they are, an inexpensive full software stack, but slow at performance.
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> guys, isnt the RPI talk fitting more in !arm ?
[04:26] <rwp> I have been a fan of the Banana Pi because it has a full speed GigE port.  Full speed being 750Mbps through it.
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> lets focus on actual ubuntu issues please
[04:27] <ryuo> yes officer.
[04:27]  * ryuo coughs.
[04:28] <skyark> ryou: thanks!
[04:29] <ryuo> skyark: let's continue it #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:37] <WebDoll> I want to set umask for Apache's www-data user so that all new Drupal uploads have permissions set to 750 for directories and 640 for files, so I need umask of 027.
[04:38] <sarnold> are you sure drupal is actually running as that user?
[04:39] <ryuo> sounds more appropriate for your web application configuration.
[04:39] <WebDoll> For my ubuntu user, I can just umask 027 in the .bashrc file of the ubuntu user. But how do I do that for Apache's www-data user?
[04:40] <WebDoll> Drupal is just PHP. So pretend Drupal is not involved. Pretend it's a random PHP page adding the file that was uploaded.
[04:40] <sarnold> WebDoll: if it's actually running in the context of apache, you'll need to look through apache's configuration documentation for it
[04:40] <sarnold> but if you're running it via fastcgi or fpm or whatever those things are, youi'll need to configure it through that tool instead
[04:45] <pragmaticenigma> WebDoll: There isn't a way for you to set the umask... you might want to consider reading up on drupal documentation here: https://www.linode.com/docs/quick-answers/linux/how-to-use-journalctl/
[04:45] <pragmaticenigma> oops
[04:46] <pragmaticenigma> WebDoll: take a look at the documentation here: https://www.drupal.org/node/244924
[04:46] <WebDoll> I think I'm going to try to do it on a per-directory basis using acl.
[04:50] <sappheiros> !display
[04:51] <sappheiros> do you know whether https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#How_to_setup_a_dual_monitor is applicable for lubuntu 18.10?
[04:52] <sappheiros> > gnome-display-properties: command not found -- i suppose it isn't.
[04:53] <sappheiros> the link also redirects to https://01.org/linuxgraphics
[04:54] <sappheiros> that wiki appears outdated
[04:56] <sarnold> sappheiros: gnome commands aren't the right place to start if you're running something else
[04:56] <sarnold> sappheiros: probably xrandr can do whatever you want
[04:56] <sarnold> sappheiros: and your desktop environment may have a nicer way to do the same thing
[04:57] <Mcl0vin> lordcirth: hi, i just saw your message
[04:57] <Mcl0vin> you still there
[05:10] <sappheiros> sarnold: thank you. i checked the manual.lubuntu.me and it turns out lxqt-config-monitor worked perfectly :D
[05:11] <sarnold> sappheiros: nice! thanks for reporting back :)
[05:11] <sappheiros> i should update the wiki to reflect lubuntu but i should also go to bed ...
[05:11] <sappheiros> yw
[05:11] <sarnold> https://xkcd.com/386/  :D
[05:20] <Mcl0vin> holla, i am running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS for some reason after reboot everytime i will have to issue netplan apply for my box to be able to ping anything. i.e after reboot if i do ping www.google.com it will fail , but after i do sudo netplan apply and then ping it passes ! any idea what i am missing here?
[05:21] <sappheiros> should i downgrade from 18.10 to 18.04 for the sake of security?
[05:22] <sarnold> no
[05:22] <sarnold> downgrading one package may work out once in a while, but the maintainer scripts aren't designed to go that direction
[05:22] <sarnold> downgrading the whole distribution will break *something*
[05:23] <sarnold> just be sure to move to 19.04 sometime in the next month
[05:23] <sappheiros> sarnold: i have a 32-bit computer. i meant copying my documents to external storage and reinstalling the entire OS
[05:23] <sappheiros> i recall being told 19.04 lubuntu is not compatible with 32-bit
[05:24] <sarnold> sappheiros: aha, yeah. that's probably a good idea.
[05:25] <sappheiros> sarnold: you agree then? i.e., i am correct in understanding that 18.04 continues receiving security updates, whereas 18.10 will not because the developers have moved on to 19.04 support?
[05:25] <sarnold> sappheiros: yes; 18.10 will reach end of life in a month; 18.04 will continue to receive standard support until 2023, and then paid support after that
[05:26] <sappheiros> is EOL always 1 month after newest release for non-LTS?
[05:27] <sarnold> non-lts releases are EOL'd roughly nine months from their release; it should leave about three months of overlap
[08:56] <motiz> hi, i need to set a "onda mt 833 up" on ubuntu 18. any help?

[09:55] <akem> Even on another computer it mounts it as read only :/
[09:55] <bryanroderyck> hello can someone help me
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> akem: did you try a gparted format yet?
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> !patience | bryanroderyck
[09:57] <akem> lotuspsychje, no, it's a Ubuntu 19 USB key i created with the startup disk creator, i wanted to add some files on the stick.
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> akem: a regular usb install or a persisent ubuntu you made?
[09:58] <lotuspsychje> bbl, you could try gparted akem
[09:58] <akem> lotuspsychje, regular Ubuntu stick, there is no option with the startup disk creator anyway, you just provide the ISO and the device.
[09:59] <akem> lotuspsychje, But if i do a gparted i'll loose what's on the disk.
[09:59] <akem> Ok thanks anyway i'll tryu to check if Windows mounts it read only too.

[10:30] <wtiger> Hi! I'm running antergos linux alongside ubuntu on an encrypted grub partition.. how do I partition to replace antergos with ubuntu(18.04) ?
[10:30] <wtiger> *alongside windows
[10:32] <EriC^^> wtiger: same as ubuntu
[10:32] <EriC^^> i mean same as antergos
[10:35] <emel> buffer 2
[10:35] <wtiger> EriC^^: man I no longer want the encrypted grub partition, it's a pita
[10:37] <EriC^^> wtiger: remove all the ubuntu related partitions and luks etc and make it unallocated space, then in the ubuntu installer choose 'install alongside windows' it should go well
[10:38] <EriC^^> just to be sure not to remove the fat32 efi partition if you're using uefi
[10:41] <wtiger> EriC^^: ok, to confirm
[10:41] <wtiger> https://imgur.com/a/Fi9alVj
[10:41] <wtiger> remove the luks and ext4 filesystem?
[10:42] <EriC^^> yeah delete partition 5 completely so its unallocated space
[10:43] <wtiger> ok, thanks :) see you from ubuntu, or maybe not :P

[13:46] <bryanroderyck> hello ubuntu ..i have installed tootle on ubuntu 16 doesnt work but used to work on same distro edition.. do you know what went wrong?
[13:47] <tomreyn> !yy.mm
[13:48] <tomreyn> !info tootle xenial
[13:48] <bryanroderyck> i running 16.04
[13:48] <bryanroderyck> it used to work on 16.04
[13:48] <preyalone> what should i put for WantedBy in my service, with the goal of launching my service before sshd starts?
[13:49] <bryanroderyck> i installed other package like wire also it run and the app dissaear after some
[13:50] <tomreyn> bryanroderyck: there's a snap (i can't tell whether it's recommendable) https://snapcraft.io/tootle , maybe a !PPA as well
[13:50] <tomreyn> tootle is not in ubuntu, though
[13:50] <akem_> !info avidemux
[13:51] <tomreyn> actually tootle is in !disco + !eoan
[13:52] <bryanroderyck> i have tried the snap and the other command to install ...it did install but run for afew sec and close after
[13:52] <blackflow> preyalone: probably multi-user.target, but it is really Before=ssh.service what you're after there.
[13:52] <tomreyn> bryanroderyck: well, it's not in ubuntu, so you'll need to get support from its packagers / distributors / developers.
[13:53] <preyalone> blackflow: Hmm, what's the difference between WantedBy=ssh.service vs. RequiredBy=ssh.service vs. Before=ssh.service?
[13:53] <bryanroderyck> tomreyn : ah ok ..the same thing happen when install "wire"
[13:55] <blackflow> preyalone: WantedBy lists targets that will trigger the start of service, Before/After ensure order of execution. RequiredBy is a stronger dependency.   the systemd.unit manpage has more info
[13:55] <preyalone> neat!
[13:56] <blackflow> preyalone: so here you'd need both WantedBy=multi-user.target and Before=ssh.service
[13:56] <blackflow> or... depending on what exactly you want to achieve, some other dependency expression
[13:56] <Cooler> hi how do you launch vmware workstation bundle ?
[13:56] <preyalone> I see WantedBy=multi-user.target on like every tutorial but not sure why this is used
[13:57] <tomreyn> bryanroderyck: if you don't mean the "Simple Wire encoding protocol command line tool", which is packaged as "wire" in Ubuntu, but something else, such as the electron based companion app to an android chat app, then the same applies here: not in ubuntu, not supported here, contact who made it available to you.
[13:57] <blackflow> preyalone: that's a default target, think "runlevel 3" in the old lingo, so pretty much everything is wanted by it
[13:57] <preyalone> heh, that doesn't help me. i never learned any of the launch systems too well before systemd stamped em out!
[13:58] <blackflow> preyalone: so check the systemd.unit manpage, it explains these relations
[13:58] <preyalone> thants
[14:00] <blackflow> preyalone: in short, systemd units have a complex framework of defining realtionships between them. targets are pretty much "states" one wants to achieve, so units say that they will be WantedBy certain states. like, "Teh multi-user.target, that we all agreed will be default state, will want me running, so run me".
[14:01] <blackflow> preyalone: complex framework _available_. specific relationships needn't be complex at all.
[14:02] <preyalone> is start, stop needed in order to setup a service for the first time, or just enable?
[14:03] <blackflow> preyalone: not sure I understand what you're asking. Also, note ther's #systemd here on Freenode, as your questions don't seem to be ubuntu specific ;)
[14:36] <frad> im on 18.04. While logging in I see a stylized sun or circle (yellow) on a dark blue canvas. Is this the splash screen?
[14:37] <compdoc> does sound like it
[14:37] <compdoc> but never seen dark blue
[14:38] <frad> compdoc, this screen last for not even a second and then it jumps to my wallpaper while loading
[14:38] <frad> how do I get rid of it, so only my wallpaper shows?
[14:38] <compdoc> you used some utility to change the startup screen?
[14:39] <frad> i dont know, I upgraded
[14:40] <compdoc> look for a program named tweak
[14:40] <blackflow> frad: doesn't sound like ubuntu proper, what flavor is that?
[14:41] <frad> sorry, wrong channel, ill ask in xubuntu
[15:02] <Yatekii> heyo
[15:02] <Yatekii> can anyone tell me how to get kdesudo on ubuntu? :/
[15:05] <EriC^^> which ubuntu Yatekii ?
[15:05] <Yatekii> EriC^^: bionic
[15:05] <EriC^^> !info kdesudo bionic
[15:05] <Yatekii> EriC^^: oh ups it's actually disco already
[15:05] <EriC^^> Yatekii: deprecated i think
[15:05] <Yatekii> !info kdesudo disco
[15:05] <BluesKaj> Yatekii, try kdesu instead, kdesudo is depracated
[15:05] <Yatekii> !info kdesu disco
[15:06] <Yatekii> BluesKaj: yes, I tried that
[15:06] <Yatekii> apt-cache told me some package and I installed it
[15:06] <Yatekii> no luck
[15:06] <BluesKaj> Yatekii, are you using kde/plasma DE?
[15:06] <EriC^^> Yatekii: https://www.maketecheasier.com/gksu-alternatives-ubuntu-bionic/
[15:07] <Yatekii> https://gist.github.com/Yatekii/b58765beb2a975f611a1b789eb6b13de that's what I get
[15:07] <BluesKaj> Yatekii, if so try root in the dolphin panel
[15:07] <Yatekii> BluesKaj: no I am not
[15:08] <Yatekii> I need kdesudo or kdesu because hotspot needs it. not because I ahve a choice ^^
[15:08] <Yatekii> so I guess using alternatives wont help
[15:11] <BluesKaj> Yatekii, suggest you ask in #kde chat, you may get an answer to your hotpot question there
[15:11] <BluesKaj> hotspot even
[15:13] <mrchairman> Has anyone tried 19.04, what's your opinion of it?
[15:15] <BluesKaj> !polls
[15:16] <Yatekii> BluesKaj: I doubt there is a hotspot related channel but k
[15:16] <Yatekii> also I doubt the kde folks know that better
[15:16] <BluesKaj> mrchairman, depemds on your needs, hardware, driver requirements etc
[15:16] <mrchairman> My dog gets hotspots, I put a special cream on it
[15:16] <Yatekii> nobody in the linux community cares about distros but their own
[15:16] <mrchairman> It really helps, but I think I need to change his food
[15:16] <Yatekii> and the distros don't care about package stability at all lol
[15:17] <BluesKaj> Yatekii, opinions are fine, but they aren't facts
[15:17] <Yatekii> BluesKaj: yeah. in this case they are. especially for debian based stuff.
[15:18] <BluesKaj> another opinion
[15:20] <dwilson5817> The network on my Ubuntu server seems to be misconfigured, I can't connect to the internet or access the server.  It gives "destination host unreachable" when I try to ping.  What would be the best way to diagnose what's going on?
[15:21] <ikanobori> 1. Check if you have the correct IP address. 2. Check your firewall allows incoming connections.
[15:21] <ioria> Yatekii, https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/issues/173
[15:25] <dwilson5817> Thanks, I've disabled the firewall, my Netplan 01-netcfg.yaml is like this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/H25HQjphYd/ and the info from my host is this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WhxcM9hbC8/
[15:31] <OerHeks> gateway -> gateway4 perhaps?
[15:34] <dwilson5817> hm, I've tried changing gateway4 to gateway but it throws an "unknown key: 'gateway'" error when I use netplan apply
[15:35] <OerHeks> one can have gateway4 and gateway6, yes
[15:35] <akem_> Anyone if it is possible to install libreoffice dictionnaries for the spellchecker with apt?
[15:36] <akem_> Anyone knows*
[15:38] <akem_> I think i found it.
[15:40] <dwilson5817> hm, at the moment I only have gateway4 but it should still work no?
[15:43] <akem_> No it doesn't work, i tried to install the aspell-XX package but doesn't work.
[15:44] <akem_> Maybe myspell-XX now.

[15:49] <Guest_9> helloanyone interested on helping me troubleshoot my ethernet and wifi device on an old ubuntu 7.04 installseems to be a missing driver issue but not sure
[15:49] <jeremyb> Guest_9: Try a supported Ubuntu version
[15:50] <Guest_9> i cant. i had a pre-setup environment on a cd that was sent with a book i purchased
[15:52] <akem_> I found the packages libreoffice-l10n-XX, OerHeks yeah i'll do that, but what is the builtin Ubuntu appstore command name if you know it please?
[15:53] <jeremyb> Guest_9: The servers for software downloads for Ubuntu 7.04 have been off for over a decade
[15:53] <akem_> Ha gnome-software, found it nm.
[15:54] <Guest_9> jeremyb ok, well thanks for the knowledge. maybe the environment was intended to work without internet
[15:55] <jeremyb> Guest_9: It would work with internet but your devices are likely newer than 2007
[16:03] <adiaholic> Hello everyone,Current issue :    Ram gets filled up upto 70% even when no apps are triggered. I checked up the system monitor and there are no heavy softwares running. Concern here is that the depleted Memory is not reflected like it should be in Processes window.Device Specs : HP ay78xTx RAM 8GB DDR4 Harddisk 1TB Ubuntu Version : 18.04
[16:04] <adiaholic> This wasn't the case with ubuntu 16.04 which I have used previously
[16:04] <jeremyb> adiaholic: does it have rtl8723be wifi?
[16:05] <adiaholic> I don't have much knowledge about wifi hardware
[16:05] <adiaholic> but I'd love to check and let you know
[16:06] <adiaholic> jeremyb for replying and showing interest

[16:09] <jeremyb> adiaholic: don't post terminal results than are more than a couple lines long in chat
[16:09] <adiaholic> jeremyb looks like you hit it right.
[16:09] <amcclure> hello, if I installed ubuntu 18.04 on a 2017 macbook pro alongside macos, would I still be able to boot into macos if I'd want?
[16:09] <jeremyb> adiaholic: what about result for> uname -r
[16:09] <akem_> That's apparently the same memoryleak issue i had on my HP Pavilion with 8723.
[16:10] <adiaholic> 4.18.0-22-generic
[16:10] <jeremyb> akem_: do you have a link to tj's dkms fix?
[16:10] <akem_> I have the dkms, i will upload it.
[16:10] <jeremyb> adiaholic: akem_ has a copy of the fix
[16:11] <adiaholic> Yes :)
[16:11] <jeremyb> adiaholic: do you use the wifi?
[16:11] <adiaholic> Yes
[16:11] <adiaholic> I am currently using it
[16:12] <adiaholic> akem_ Please Let me know the steps to get out this memory issue.
[16:12] <adiaholic> It's crushing the performance :(
[16:13] <akem_> adiaholic, https://drive.google.com/file/d/17YdhCjjPTHtRgOWu6_JiHwLvsPSRaQBQ/view?usp=sharing
[16:13] <akem_> Yes i have the steps to install it, just a minute it's on my other computer, brb.
[16:13] <adiaholic> Thanks for your genuine efforts
[16:35] <jeremyb> adiaholic: what is result from terminal for>  mokutil --sb-state
[16:36] <adiaholic> SecureBoot disabledPlatform is in Setup Mode
[16:36] <adiaholic> jeremybWhat do you think
[16:36] <adiaholic> ?
[16:36] <jeremyb> adiaholic: It might still work, see the commands at https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/1ebfbb17d187efac980f3d6cbed9a17f
[16:37] <adiaholic> Sure :)
[16:38] <jeremyb> adiaholic: Did you go into UEFI/BIOS and delete the factory Secure Boot keys?
[16:39] <adiaholic> jeremyb No sir, I did not
[16:39] <adiaholic> These have been run successfully .
[16:40] <adiaholic> sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi-memfixsudo dkms install rtlwifi/1.0
[16:40] <jeremyb> adiaholic: that is what normally causes the platform in setup mode.  You can try a reboot, if wifi doesn't work do> cd rtlwifi-memfix && make && sudo make install      then reboot again
[16:43] <adiaholic> jeremyb Looks like wifi is working  fine. But I'll keep a note of these commands
[16:44] <jeremyb> adiaholic: a couple of times dkms has failed when platform was in setup mode, they may have fixed dkms since then
[16:45] <adiaholic> Seems sensible. I'll watch for other unexpected outcomes as well and be on track
[16:46] <jeremyb> adiaholic: did you set antenna parameter for rtl8723be?
[16:46] <PigDude> Does anybody know where I can find the stock libinput config for a touchpad? My touchpad has some annoying click zones, I'm going to disable that.
[16:47] <adiaholic> jeremyb No I did not interfere with the default settings. I try to stay away from it
[16:47] <PigDude>  /usr/share/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf is minimal, appears to just bind the libinput driver to the pointer (thinkpad), keyboard, touchpad, etc.
[16:47] <jeremyb> adiaholic: after you reboot, see if the commands at https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/61ea440e55f74c42cbc85ebab79ece48 show any signal level differences for you access point
[16:48] <adiaholic> Sure
[16:48] <adiaholic> I'll let you know if the problem persists
[16:48] <PigDude> the Gentoo and Arch wikis have some useful stuff, might just follow that... maybe the behavior I see is libinput default for the device
[17:09] <Mcl0vin> holla, i am running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS for some reason after reboot everytime i will have to issue netplan apply for my box to be able to ping anything. i.e after reboot if i do ping www.google.com it will fail , but after i do sudo netplan apply and then ping it passes ! any idea what i am missing here?
[17:18] <lotuspsychje> amcclure: i would reccomend, or install ubuntu single, or just keep using mac Os

[18:04] <lotuspsychje> guest_2000: whats happening?
[18:05] <guest_2000> from what I understand in the journalctl -xd output there is a problem with some keys and secure boot?
[18:05] <lotuspsychje> guest_2000: can you explain the actual problem first?
[18:06] <guest_2000> lotuspsychje: i can't do a proper boot. it land in an emergency root shell

[18:10] <guest_2000> lotuspsychje: kubuntu 19.04 dual boot
[18:11] <guest_2000> oh there is more red in the journal, maybe a fstab issue

[19:31] <amosbird> why do I fail to connect to my Bose QC30 bluetooth headphone? bluetooth service log : https://la.wentropy.com/P7ZJ
[19:32] <jeremyb> amosbird: have you put the headphones in pairing mode and paired to the computer?
[19:33] <amosbird> jeremyb: yes
[19:33] <amosbird> it's paired and trusted
[19:33] <jeremyb> amosbird: did you load module-bluetooth-discover in pactl?
[19:34] <DanDare> Just installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS yesterday. It feels pretty nice
[19:34] <lotuspsychje> great, welcome to the ubuntu community DanDare
[19:35] <amosbird> jeremyb: how can I check that?
[19:35] <DanDare> Thanks :)
[19:35] <lotuspsychje> DanDare: feel free to discuss in #ubuntu-discuss
[19:35] <amosbird>  ❯ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
[19:35] <amosbird> Failure: Module initialization failed
[19:35] <jeremyb> amos, in terminal>  pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
[19:35] <DanDare> roger
[19:35] <amosbird> hmm, seems like something went wrong
[19:36] <jeremyb> amosbird: pactl list short | grep discover
[19:36] <amosbird> jeremyb: https://la.wentropy.com/vkza
[19:36] <jeremyb> amosbird: it is either already loaded or the module is missing
[19:36] <jeremyb> amosbird: already loaded
[19:37] <amosbird> ok
[19:38] <ioria> amosbird, try to remove the device from the Bluetooth paired list in Ubuntu and   pair itagain
[19:38] <DanDare> Nautilus is nice but I wish I could copy the actual path to the clipboard, it's possible? I cant find anything.
[19:38] <amosbird> ioria: already tried multiple times
[19:38] <jeremyb> amosbird: see https://askubuntu.com/q/833322/300665
[19:39] <lotuspsychje> DanDare: ctrl + l
[19:39] <DanDare> Oh thanks!
[19:41] <amosbird> jeremyb: ah, thanks
[19:41] <lotuspsychje> DanDare: and if you need admin rights in nautilus, you can admin:/// there
[19:42] <DanDare> lotuspsychje, this is very useful, thank you
[19:43] <DanDare> So ubuntu have a intermediate mode called 'administrator' or whatever, but still not root capabilities? thats how it works?
[19:44] <lotuspsychje> DanDare: from terminal you can use sudo, but this admin:/// kinda replaces gksudo
[19:44] <DanDare> I see.
[20:35] <amosbird> jeremyb: heh, now qc30 works fine but airpods2 doesn't
[20:36] <amosbird> the error changes to Unable to select SEP
[20:36] <amosbird> however the answer seems to be loading that module  https://askubuntu.com/questions/671820/14-04-bluetooth-unable-to-select-sep
[20:42] <amosbird> yeah, same issue
[21:43] <parak0vsky> can't install russian font somebody please help

[21:45] <Bashing-om> !details | parak0vsky What have you done - what commands ?
[21:45] <parak0vsky> yes, it shows russian symbols on on-screen keyboard from input menu but it actually typing qwerty

[22:11] <INSANU> hows amd graphic drivers for linux nowadays?
[22:12] <INSANU> I am thinking on buying the new radeon rx for a new build instead of nvidia
[22:18] <Bashing-om> INSANU: May I suggest that you see Michael Larabel's benchmarks in phoronix.com ?
[22:18] <ryuo> INSANU: how "new" is the chipset?
[22:19] <ryuo> INSANU: if it's too new you may have to run a newer software stack for it to work at all.
[22:19] <ryuo> INSANU: and may have some stability issues in the short term. that was my experience for a brand new APU back in 2010.
[22:21] <INSANU> I see ryuo
[22:22] <INSANU> Bashing-om: was trying to find the link
[22:22] <INSANU> mind to point it for me?
[22:22] <ryuo> INSANU: they were eventually resolved.
[22:23] <Bashing-om> INSANU: Here is a listing: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=search&q=Radeon .
[22:28] <plongshot>  I don't understand what went wrong. I configured x11 forwarding on the remote host. When I do echo $DISPLAY I see  theremotehostname:10.0   but when I run i3-config-wizard or xset q it just hangs and hangs.  What did I niss?
[22:28] <plongshot>  I do see "Entering interactive session." in the output from $ ssh -vX me@230.239.119.221
[22:28] <plongshot> And the output of echo $DISPLAY is not empty
[22:28] <plongshot> why isn't anything seem to be working?
[22:29] <INSANU> this new radeon seems a bit shitty looking at the benchmarks
[22:38] <drakioned> hi - I think I'm doing something daft. I am able to resolve an local address using nslookup <host> <DNS server> but not able to without specifying the DNS server. It also works if I directly use that DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf. but it doesn't work via systemd-resolve even though systemd-resolve --status confirms that my DNS server is that same
[22:38] <drakioned> DNS server.
[22:40] <Rojola> hi
[22:40] <Rojola> I'm in trouble
[22:40] <Rojola> So, there is this one droplet (virtual server)
[22:40] <Rojola> I ran:  "apt install apache2"
[22:41] <Rojola> now the process is stuck at line:
[22:41] <Rojola> Processing triggers for ufw (0.36-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ...
[22:42] <Rojola> nothing has happened since about 10 minutes
[22:42] <Rojola> I hit "ENTER" 3x within the past 10 minutes to see if the SSH connection still stands
[22:42] <Rojola> the connection seems to be standing (the ENTER showed a line break)
[22:43] <Rojola> what should I do?
[22:43] <tds> Rojola: can you open a second ssh connection to the server?
[22:43] <tds> that should at least let you see what processes that is running and what it might be hung on
[22:43] <Rojola> tds, yes, I can open a second shell
[22:43] <Rojola> tds, but please, please guide me through
[22:43] <Rojola> I am very nervous about it
[22:43] <tds> Rojola: `ps auxf`, and see what processes are running from that original apt command you ran
[22:44] <Rojola> which line are you interested in?
[22:44] <tds> can you find your original apt command in there?
[22:44] <tds> anything in the processes under that in the tree
[22:44] <Rojola> can I grep for "apt"?
[22:44] <Rojola>  ps auxf | grep "apt"
[22:45] <tds> sure, ps auxf | grep -A 15 apt
[22:46] <Rojola> tds, https://dpaste.de/Lppc/raw
[22:52] <Rojola> tds?
[22:52] <tds> sorry, got distracted by another channel!
[22:53] <tds> that doesn't look like anything related to ufw, hmm
[22:53] <Rojola> what would be the worst-case-scenario if I hit CTRL+C on the stuck apt process?
[22:53] <Rojola> I really don't want to set up the entire server from new
[22:56] <Rojola> tds? ^.^
[22:56] <Rojola> you won't believe what happened
[22:56] <Rojola> the process just finiahed
[22:56] <Rojola> *finished
[22:57] <tds> heh
[22:57] <Rojola> after about 27 minutes!!!
[22:57] <Rojola> 27 minutes stuck at:

[23:18] <Diebuntu> I'm running Ubuntu Studio 19.04 on an HP laptop, I'm currently having problems with the Wi-Fi. I know it's related to the drivers because they're proprietary. My laptop has Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter. I know there are several answers on various Ubuntu help sites on how to make it work and I have made it work
[23:18] <Diebuntu> following those steps. My current go to steps are as follows:sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential gitgit clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.gitcd rtlwifi_new/ && git checkout origin/extended -b extendedsudo make installsudo modprobe -r rtl8723desudo modprobe rtl8723desudo modprobe -r rtl8723de && sleep 5 && sudo
[23:18] <Diebuntu>  modprobe rtl8723de ant_sel=2echo "options rtl8723de ant_sel=2" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723de.confThey work fine, the connection is stable, the problem is sometimes, I can't pinpoint exactly when after I turn off and turn back on my laptop the Wi-Fi stops being recognized and I have to do the steps again.
[23:19] <Diebuntu> Oh sorry, it didn't take the format.
[23:19] <thsnr> !paste
[23:20] <cronolio> hello, ubuntu 18.04 here and I my command is echo -e "APT::Install-Recommends \"false\";\nAPT::Get::Install-Suggests \"false\";\n" and is says Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic:1: Extra junk after value
[23:20] <Diebuntu> I'm running Ubuntu Studio 19.04 on an HP laptop, I'm currently having problems with the Wi-Fi. I know it's related to the drivers because they're proprietary. My laptop has Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter. I know there are several answers on various Ubuntu help sites on how to make it work and I have made it work
[23:20] <Diebuntu> following those steps. My current go to steps are this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VzJgbvKrNp/They work fine, the connection is stable, the problem is sometimes, I can't pinpoint exactly when after I turn off and turn back on my laptop the Wi-Fi stops being recognized and I have to do the steps again.
[23:21] <Barones> I'm trying to make a desktop version to server, but can't the packages linux-server and linux-image-server, any help?
[23:23] <thsnr> Diebuntu: do they stop working when you put the laptop to sleep and wake it up or only after a full reboot?
[23:24] <Diebuntu> Only after full reboot, but it's not after every reboot
[23:26] <Diebuntu> It seems like it just randomly does it. Last time it happened I think the laptop was on sleep mode and I pressed the power button to turn it off and next time I turned it on it wasn't working. I'm not sure if it had something to do with that.
[23:27] <cronolio> mabe this modules should be added to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
[23:28] <Diebuntu> Also, I don't really mind having to do all those commands every now and then, it's not ideal, but whatever. The problem is after the third time I did it, I got this message when trying to install the driver again modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘rtl8723de’: Exec format error
[23:29] <thsnr> yeah, i am thinking the same thing as cronolio: it is probably not loaded on boot. and maybe those times it did work, the laptop did not turn fully off
[23:30] <cronolio> also compiling is bad way. dpkg-buildpackage or whatever
[23:31] <Diebuntu> Honestly I don't know anything about how compiling works, I just followed the steps on this website http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/08/no-wifi-adapter-found-hp-laptops-ubuntu-18-04 to make my wifi work.
[23:33] <panopticon3M> classic issue
[23:34] <Diebuntu> Okay, how do I add that to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf and should I install the drivers again?
[23:34] <thsnr> Diebuntu: you can use the following command: echo "rtl8723de" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/rtl8723de.conf
[23:35] <thsnr> this will load the module you have already installed on boot
[23:35] <Diebuntu> Oh okay, I'll do that
[23:35] <Diebuntu> Should I reboot after the command?
[23:36] <thsnr> if any issues arise from it, then simply delete the file
[23:36] <thsnr> if your wifi is currently working then there is no need
[23:36] <thsnr> ...to reboot
[23:36] <Diebuntu> Nope, it's not working, I'm using my cellphone's hotspot
[23:36] <Diebuntu> Well, usb tethering
[23:37] <thsnr> ah, before youe reboot then
[23:37] <thsnr> does the following command output anytthing? lsmod | grep rtl8723de
[23:37] <Diebuntu> I'm rebooting now, I'll be back. Thank you!
[23:40] <deltab> there's an updated version with DKMS at http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/04/nstall-rtl8723de-wifi-driver-ubuntu-19-04/
[23:42] <thsnr> deltab: i have to leave now, but if they come back, can you link that to Diebuntu? otherwise they'll be back after a kernel upgrade :)
[23:42] <deltab> cronolio: what's line 1 of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic ?
[23:42] <Diebuntu> I'm back, it didn't work, wifi is not recognized. Only ethernet.
[23:42] <deltab> hi Diebuntu, how did it go?
[23:43] <cronolio> deltab: APT::Install-Recommends "false";
[23:45] <deltab> cronolio: looks okay to me, though I don't know much about it; it's consistent with the files I have
[23:45] <deltab> Diebuntu: there's an updated version with DKMS at http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/04/nstall-rtl8723de-wifi-driver-ubuntu-19-04/
[23:46] <Diebuntu> Okay, should I follow those steps right away or do I need to remove something first?
[23:48] <deltab> Diebuntu: I don't know much about it, sorry. DO you want to see what's wrong with what you have currently?
[23:49] <Diebuntu> Actually yes, I'd like to see what's wrong, but I'm not sure if I'll understand haha.
[23:49] <deltab> is the driver listed in the output of lsmod?
[23:50] <deltab> lsmod | grep rtl8723de
[23:50] <Diebuntu> Is it this line? hp_wireless            16384  0
[23:51] <cronolio> deltab: there is docker image. i do check the content of file and the line was -e APT::Install-Recommends "false"; but it works fine with /bin/echo -e. looks like some alias or whatever. anyway thank you
[23:51] <deltab> cronolio: maybe there's some invisible character there that  cat -v  can reveal
[23:52] <Diebuntu> lsmod | grep rtl8723de returned nothing
[23:53] <deltab> Diebuntu: so the module's not loaded
[23:53] <deltab> sudo modprobe rtl8723de
[23:53] <Diebuntu> modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8723de not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-17-lowlatency
[23:53] <Diebuntu> It's not installed, right?
[23:53] <deltab> right
[23:53] <deltab> maybe it's installed for an older version
[23:54] <Diebuntu> Oh, is it possible that last time I used it Ubuntu updated to a newer kernel?
[23:55] <Diebuntu> I'm thinking it's that because according to this http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/04/nstall-rtl8723de-wifi-driver-ubuntu-19-04/ after a kernel update wifi will stop working.
[23:55] <deltab> yes, I suspect that's what's happened
[23:55] <Diebuntu> Okay, should install it again?
[23:55] <Diebuntu> With the new steps, I mean
[23:55] <deltab> try the DKMS way; if that works you may not need to do it again
[23:56] <Diebuntu> Okay, let me see
[23:56] <Diebuntu> Thanks!
