[00:04] try youtube for it .. there's a video that legitly works sloshy [00:05] i forgot the name tho ... last time i been using rufus for several times and been same as yours [00:05] when I did a recent install to a uefi laptop, I just used the standard desktop iso image [00:06] sloshy: startup disk creator should actually work. which image were you using? [00:06] it was really easy, just dd if=ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/whatever [00:10] Hello, I have tried several times using many guides to set up OpenVPN on Ubuntu and I cannot seem to get the server to work. May someone quickly helicopter me thru it? [00:10] It is Ubuntu 18 VPS [00:11] neonknight77: have you seen this one yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openvpn.html [00:11] @sarnold: I have not, I will re-image my VPS and give it a shot === sjohnson is now known as sj [00:47] If I have encrypted LVM2 setup, but I told it to *not* immediately wipe the free space (because I wanted the OS installation to complete ASAP), can I tell it later on to wipe the free space? [00:48] you could get pretty close by doing something like dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/lvm/deleteme [00:48] sarnold, but currently the partitions are using all of my HDD space. [00:48] it probably won't get *every* block like the first wipe would have done [00:49] but it'll get MOST of it [00:53] hello, any thoughts on installing flash on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS? is adding the "recommended" partner apt repository ok? [00:54] i.e. add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" [00:54] @sarnold: I have followed the guide but when I load systemctl status openvpn@server I get Failed to Start connection [00:54] Process: 1120 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon ovpn-server --status /run/openvpn/server.status 10 --cd /etc/openvpn --scri [00:55] ifconfig also shows no tun0 device [00:55] ran openvpn --mktun --dev tun0 in /dev/ but it didnt help [00:57] neonknight77: hmmmmm. I'm sorry I didn't think of this earlier.. which provider are you using? is it a *real* system, where you've got real root? or is it a container kind of thing? can you load kernel modules? [00:57] it is a top tier VPS [00:58] blogten: try installing flashplugin-installer -- we've got several flash packages, one where we distribute the binaries (that partner archive) and one where we distribute an *installer* that takes them from the adobe site.. [00:58] and yes, full root access [00:58] neonknight77: alright, so more like aws and less like an openvz instance? [00:59] KVM [00:59] hrm :( sorry. that was my best idea [00:59] do you suggest the installer over the packaged binaries? [01:00] blogten: the installer has a slight chance of going wrong if you can reach an archive mirror to get an update, but adobe's site can't deliver it.. [01:00] blogten: in that case, getting the update from canonical directly may be ever so slightly more reliable [01:04] @sarnold: any ideas [01:06] neonknight77: no, sorry :( [01:18] I'm trying to install ubuntu but when I boot into the installation usb I am presented with a black screen with some glitched stuffed at the very top of the screen [01:18] anyone have any advice? [01:20] !nomodeset | golden_ticket [01:20] golden_ticket: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:21] Bashing-om, how do I set nomodeset though, when I can't even boot into the usb without it being a black screen? [01:23] golden_ticket: Boot the liveUSB, as soon as the bios splash screen clears depress the escape key -> language screen -> escape key again to acceot the default -> boot options screen -> F6 key for boot option -> choose "nomodeset" . [01:23] accept* [01:24] ill try that, thanks [01:26] golden_ticket: When you are installed and rebooted, pastebin ' cat /proc/cmdline ' . Make sure here we do not have to remove that boot option. [01:36] Bashing-om, I could not get the screen to change with any of the commands you told me === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:38] amazoniantoad: Verified the ISO ?

[01:40] amazoniantoad: No, on another download, just check what you have already downloaded.

Unfortunately it plain doesn't work with my Intel iGPU somehow. [02:08] I just get a completely black screen as I log into Kubuntu. [02:09] k_sze: oh - that's too bad.. [02:12] k_sze: You could ask in #Kubuntu or KDE for help for that... They are very helpful.. [02:14] k_sze: if you want to build something yourself you could probably convince dmenu and xdotool or wmctrl to do the trick; your window manager may already have something === dreamscrypt is now known as strive [02:18] erm, ubuntu:GNOME?

[02:22] let me try that [02:22] k_sze: gnome extensions are apparently pretty fragile, so if you have stability problems in the futre, try disabling the extensions for a bit and see if things improve [02:23] but there's positive comments on this one, recently and older, so it feels worth a shot :) [02:23] it seems to work really well so far [02:23] Thanks for the tip! [02:24] you're welcome, have fun :D [02:34] the gnome wifi scanner page seems to absolutely eat up cpu usage if there are a lot of networks available [02:39] it uses 100% of a core and locks up gnome while scanning for wifi [02:45] im sure you get this all the time but will i soon not be able to do some GoG games in ubuntu cuz the whole 32 bit business === [b0b] is now known as b0b [03:05] I'm reading through this guide and I'm following it.

[03:07] No I'm just reading the guide [03:07] this reports your ubuntu version (amongst other) nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";) [03:08] which packages are available can depend on your ubuntu version.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:28] Fenhl: yes, you just have to change a setting which will ensure the updater informs you about availability of non LTS upgrades [03:30] tomreyn: where can I find this setting? [03:31] Fenhl: i was just looking for how to find it on the GUI, it doesn'T seem to be in "settings", but there is "Software & Updates", do yuo have this? [03:32] tomreyn: yes, but clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm comfortable with the terminal if that helps [03:32] in case you don't find this via 'activity' / the dash, you can just press ctrl-f2 and run software-properties-gtk --open-tab=2 [03:34] on the bottom, switch the "notify me of a new ubuntu version" option from "for long-term support versions" to "for any version" [03:34] tomreyn, it said the EOL is 2022 [03:34] The end of standard support is April 2019 [03:34] Fenhl: out of curiosity, why do you think you need to upgrade to non-LTS? [03:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [03:35] ctrl+F2 doesn't do anything either. Running that command from the terminal gives me a Python traceback with a ModuleNotFoundError for distro_info [03:35] robertparkerx: that's only if you have paid for ESM support which is an additional 5 years [03:35] robertparkerx: yes, so unless you're a paying ubuntu advantage customer you're out of support. [03:37] Fenhl: hmm this sounds like a possibly broken python installation onyour system. here's the terminal approach: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal [03:37] I see [03:37] So I should update Ubuntu [03:38] Do I get to choose what version or is it the latest? [03:38] you should ideally have done it before the system lost support, yes [03:38] leftyfb: I've been trying to get a piece of software called info-beamer to start without having to log into the window manager [03:38] Fenhl: on a raspberry pi? [03:40] leftyfb: it seemed that a way to accomplish this would be to start X remotely, but the guides I found didn't match the manpages etc so I figured they were probably for the latest non-LTS version [03:40] Fenhl: info-beamer is a commercial product. Please contact them for support. I can tell you that trying to shoe-horn it onto Ubuntu, even later versions isn't going to solve your problem [03:40] tomreyn, I don't understand the sources.list part of it [03:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades\ [03:41] leftyfb: no, this is a regular old tower running Ubuntu and I'm using the open-source version of info-beamer, not info-beamer pi [03:42] Fenhl: https://community.infobeamer.com/ [03:42] Fenhl: sudo do-release-upgrade -c to initiate a CLI upgrade, or update-manager -c for the GUI one. before you do this, see bug 1824866 about your python / apt issue, and make sure you install any pending updates, remove unsupported apt repsoitories and packages and package versions.

[03:58] robertparkerx: actually this needs to be run with sudo [03:58] so: sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/certbot-certbot-trusty.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/certbot-certbot-trusty.list.backup-20190704 [03:58] +1 [03:59] if you diff /etc/apt/sources.list{.backup-20190704,} now you'll see your current /etc/apt/sources.list apt sources point to xenial. this should enable you to upgrade. [04:00] So whenever I try to boot in with my new graphics card I just get a black screen with some lines at the top of the monitor [04:00] I tried using nomodeset but that didn't do anything. It won't even load grub [04:01] anyone? ;_; [04:01] tomreyn, I just realized what you did. Thanks alot for that. [04:02] `From version 6.06 and up you will need to install the update-manager and update-manager-core packages. Note: You don't want to install the update-manager package on CLI-only servers.` -- so I skip this?

[04:04] tomreyn, do I also skip the `Desktop meta` because I don't run or want a desktop version [04:06] tomreyn: I don't understand what the resolution for the bug you linked is supposed to be.

[04:08] amazoniantoad: Is this a fresh clean install or something else we are working with ? [04:09] tomreyn: I ran apt-get update + dist-upgrade + auto-remove, didn't fix the bug [04:09] Bashing-om, fresh clean install. In fact I've booted into it right now. I downgraded my graphics card to an older one I own and I booted into the computer just fine, but I want to use my newer graphics card [04:09] amazoniantoad: there are three possible workarounds listed on the first post of this bug report. but you should frirst try to understand whether this is actualyl the issue you're dealing with - do you see the very same symptoms dicussed there? [04:09] tomreyn, I think this bug may not be relevant to this issue sadly [04:09] tomreyn, no [04:10] amazoniantoad: oh you replaced hardware, this is not something i was aware of. [04:10] amazoniantoad: K - so what does the system see " sudo lshw -C display '. For a place to start. [04:11] it'd be best not to change both hardware and Os at the same time [04:11] tomreyn, sorry. Yes so I had replaced my msi geforce gtx 1080 graphics card with a geforce gtx 570 graphics card and it booted into it just fine [04:11] Bashing-om, ^ [04:12] Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/W7iMD9ww [04:12] amazoniantoad: So maybe is just to see what driver(s) is present .. go from ^^ there . [04:12] tomreyn: I also tried installing python3-distro-info, but it was already installed [04:12] Bashing-om, what do you mean? [04:13] Fenhl: then i assume you'll have "python" point to a python interpreter which is not that of your ubuntu release, or one with modules not provided by your ubuntu release. [04:13] tomreyn: `where python` says /usr/bin/python [04:14] Fenhl: and readlink -f /usr/bin/python say? [04:14] *sayS [04:15] /usr/bin/python2.7 [04:15] amazoniantoad: So we can see that there is the 570 card recognized and that no driver is loaded, What have you done to install a driver ? and are you going with the other card ? [04:16] it doesn't find the distro_info module though, just tried in a repl [04:16] Fenhl: hmm then it's probably an issue with the modules. i'm jzst guessing, haven't really seen any error output [04:16] an 'installing' menu appeared when i opened startup disk creator, but with no message. do you know what this is ?

[04:19] SSH still works [04:20] Fenhl: messing with python on a system level is generally a bad idea, since integral parts of the system depend on it. [04:20] sappheiros: screenshot please? [04:21] Fenhl: in the future, use virtualenv's and / or operate within the scope of a restricted user. [04:21] tomreyn: does installing that package count as “messing with Python on a system level”? [04:22] Fenhl: no [04:22] Fenhl: but i suspect you did so previously [04:23] not that I'm aware of [04:24] removed python-distro-info, still can't log in [04:25] Fenhl: the python-distro-info package is in the "universe" section / pocket and should thus not be required by any system mechanisms, such as the release upgrader, or apt in general.

[04:29] The main factor is, is wine virtualized enough to run 16bit programs on a 64bit os? [04:29] it seems that 'installing...' was -- well, it's gone now, so i assume it was actually referring to that initial startup disk creator screen in a redundant sort of way [04:29] amd64, CrazyLikeAFox [04:30] amazoniantoad: You still with us ?

[04:32] i'm not very familiar with wine, but there's only one way to find out [04:32] lotuspsychje: sorry. the main point was that it seemed easier to just move the window out of the way than to upload a screenshot to imgur on an expensive cellphone connection [04:32] I honestly can't remember if the 16 x 64 incompatibility is specific to , or is only a relevant issue in it [04:32] let me do a little research real quick [04:33] tomreyn: I mean... 18.04.2 LTS [04:33] Ascavasaion: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/T100TA has some details on what seems to be the device you have, including on its wireless chipset and the proprietary driver for that.

I haven't had this issue in prior ubuntu distros... === jmcgnh_ is now known as jmcgnh [04:44] !eolupgrade | there is this, but you'd have to do two manual / improper / unsupported LTS upgrades this way, i would really not recommend it [04:44] there is this, but you'd have to do two manual / improper / unsupported LTS upgrades this way, i would really not recommend it: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL for more info.

Screen goes blank suddenly! Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.2 .... only option is to close the laptop lid, then open it again to get a visible lock screen and then unlock [06:22] varaindemian: are you trying to write the windows installation iso on an usb drive? you don't need woe-usb to do it [06:23] lotuspsychje, hello :) [06:24] akik: that's what i am trying [06:25] varaindemian: i can link you to the manual commands that are needed for the task if you want [06:26] akik: the problem I have is that if I use dd the usb drive won't be visible at boot [06:27] varaindemian: yes it doesn't work with just dd [06:27] akik: oh then please tell me [06:28] varaindemian: That's a Bios settings on your computer.. [06:29] Thr0r: what settings? [06:30] varaindemian: Not sure what it is called on your computer - but I have had to play around with all kinds of settings to find what is wrong. I think it is some UEfi or Efi.. [06:31] varaindemian: here's the info what needs to be done. just be 100% sure that you select the correct usb device and partition because data loss is certain if you get those wrong https://atkdinosaurus.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/how-to-create-a-bootable-uefi-gpt-windows-10-usb-stick-in-ubuntu/ [06:31] Thr0r: I restored the default seeting many times [06:33] varaindemian: i only put one partition on the usb drive so the partition in that case is /dev/sdX1 === markus1189 is now known as predator117 [06:34] akik: that's awesome! === predator117 is now known as markus1189 [06:37] akik: should let ${USB_DEVICE} as it is there? [06:37] varaindemian: it'll replace ${USB_DEVICE} with the value you set it [06:38] i know there could be more error checking in that :) [06:38] varaindemian: this is the command that creates the number 1 partition on the usb drive: sgdisk --new=1:0:0 --typecode=1:0700 [06:39] akik: what is the difference between /dev/sdxn and sdx? [06:39] varaindemian: The default settings in Bios is not always what you need in order to boot from a USB.. [06:39] varaindemian: maybe you shouldn't use those commands if disks and partitioning is not familiar to you [06:39] varaindemian: /dev/sdxn is partition number n on device /dev/sdx [06:40] akik: I used sdb [06:40] everywhere [06:41] Thr0r: the thing is that if you only have an ubuntu installation, you can't just use dd to write the windows installation iso on an usb drive [06:42] mkdir ${WIN10_MOUNTPOINT} [06:43] akik: I got some errors [06:43] akik: Ah - ok - I was sure he had a Working USB but just could not boot with it.. [06:44] varaindemian: the document is not a copy & paste kind of thing. you need to check that the commands match what you have [06:48] varazir: what error did you get? [06:49] oops [06:49] oh he left :P [06:56] Maybe he will be back on #Windows [07:10] Anybody notice how the rendering of the clock on the lock screen "curtain" is bit weird? [07:11] Sometimes a right-most chunk of the right-most digit doesn't change. [07:11] Like you would see a right-most slice of the digit "6" stuck there, while the rest of the digit does change. [07:12] And sometimes there's a kind of shadow at the bottom of *some* digits for no apparently reason.
