[01:08] hello, I can set up full screen on the whole monitor [01:08] *I can't [01:08] how to fix it? [01:12] baruna, if you have a high-res monitor you might need to increase the video ram (vm settings>display>screen>video memory). I use 40MB on my 4K monitor [01:12] I mean when I want fullscreen, all I get is full screen on part of the monitor, like this: https://i.imgur.com/3cDL8Bf.png [01:14] rfm_: what is vm settings please? I use Lubuntu [01:15] baruna, in the main vbox manager gui, select the vm from the list on the left, then the yellow settings gear on the right [01:18] rfm_: I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean [01:18] rfm_: Opebox Configuration Manager? [01:18] Openbox [01:19] or NVIDIA X Server Settings? [01:19] F11 usually does full screen without borders [01:19] baruna, how did you create or start the virtual machine [01:20] OerHeks: well it doesn't in my case and that's the problem [01:20] when focus is in VLC * [01:20] now your focus on desktop [01:20] rfm_: why are you speaking about a virtual machine? I just have my personal laptop [01:21] OerHeks: yes. when I type F11 in vlc the "fullscreen" I get is in part of the screen as shown in the screenshot [01:21] baruna, oh sorry, my mind was in the vbox channel... I'll go back there. [01:21] ' vm settings' is a virtual machine term [01:22] normally using the max + icon would work too, with borders [01:22] well unfortunately it doesn't in my case and this is why I ask how to fix this [01:24] strange behaviour then, maybe it is in the videofile? [01:24] OerHeks: what do you mean? [01:25] OerHeks: no, it's not related to the particular video === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:42] so here i am on 18.04 [01:43] trying to automatically mount an nfs share at boot time [01:44] i've been mounting it manually via the root command: mount 192.168.254.11:/usr/home/cm/nfs apu2 [01:44] hi. i'm trying to use an XP-PEN Artist 10S graphics tablet on ubuntu 18.04. it appears there is no official support for ubuntu and their official website does not provide drivers. what resources can i use to find some custom drivers for this tablet? i've owned this thing for a year and i've never been able to use it. [01:45] i added this to fstab: 192.168.254.11:/usr/home/cm/nfs /home/cm/apu2 nfs auto,nofail,noatime,nolock,intr,tcp,atime=1000 0 0 [01:45] and it does not mount at boot [01:45] what could be wrong? [01:48] bleb: once the system is up and running, can you then use "mount /home/cm/apu2" to mount it? [01:48] https://digimend.github.io/tablets/XP-Pen_Artist_10S/ says no [01:49] there is a post with a custom kernel driver https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers/issues/137 [01:51] sarnold: ah it says "mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified" [01:52] OerHeks: ty. does this first link tell me that there is no official support (i.e. from XP-PEN) for this device? also, what exactly is the second link about? [01:52] bleb: whoohoo :) that's more useful than I expected. nice. [01:52] oh nvm thats because i replaced the options with "none" to try without that list of options i got from digitalocean [01:52] ill change it back and try the mount command again [01:54] rhombix: if i just put "auto" there, the mount command succeedds but then there is nothing in the apu2 directory [01:55] ahhhh god damn it [01:56] this was a work computer so my username is different [01:56] sarnold: never mind [01:56] bleb: woot! [01:57] bleb: I once spent half a day trying to figure out why my nfs mounts weren't working, permission errors everywhere, even though everything was owned by the account 'sarnold'... [01:57] bleb: well, one sarnold was uid 1000, and the other sarnold was uid 50025 or something stupid. ls -ln for the win :) [01:58] bleb: so, here's hoping you spent less time than I did to find this one out, hehe [01:58] to be clear, where can i go to find a linux driver for this device, assuming someone out there has tried to create one? [01:59] sarnold: lol [01:59] sadly theres a new problem [02:01] rhombix: depends. if a hypothetical newly written driver is done in the kernel, maybe they've sent it to the linux kernel mail list to ask for it to be included in newer kernels. you could check kernel.org git trees to see if newer kernels have drivers for it [02:01] when i boot up there is a folder labeled "apu2" on my desktop but it's translucent. when i click it it says "mount: /home/cm2444/apu2: operation permitted for root only [02:01] rhombix: if a hypothetical newly written driver were written with libusb, then there's no centralized place to collect those, I don't think. in which case it might just live in someone's github or gitlab or fredesktop or whoknowshwere [02:02] pretty strange if you ask me; you would think the fstab instructions would be executed as root [02:05] bleb: depends [02:05] bleb: when run during boot, yes [02:06] well i got this error after booting and login in, doing nothing else [02:07] bleb: note ls -l `which mount` -- it's a setuid root executable, and if it is executed by a user, it'll check for the 'user' flag on filesystems in /etc/fstab to see if users should be able to mount it [02:07] bleb: I don't know about your gui environment, but the error message sure sounds like it'd work if you add 'user' to the flags [02:07] gui environment is default xfce [02:07] sarnold: ok. i don't know much about trying to get hardware to work on ubuntu when there's no linux support. is there ANYTHING i can do to be able to use this tablet? it was very expensive, i've had it for a year and i've never used it once. [02:08] does it make sense that xubuntu would process the fstab as a user a login and not at boot? [02:08] surely not, otherwise how would / be mounted [02:08] rhombix: sorry, I've never tried to use any devices like that. I'd sort of expect them to just be a standard USB HID device class these days, but if not, you'd probably have to pick and choose what's available.. [02:09] rhombix: if you're really lucky it'll just look like a wacom and you can install whatever works for wacoms :) [02:18] if i log in as root via the console the nfs mount does not happen [02:18] does it detect that the mount dir is a /home dir and not process it if you are not that user? [02:18] what is this a little fucky you from lennart [02:19] bleb: hmm, what exactly are you expecting to happen at this point? [02:20] i would expect the directives in fstab to be processed at boot [02:20] so that when i log in regardless of user the directories in fstab are mounted [02:21] alright, cool. you mentioned 'log in' and by the time you see a login prompt, all those ought to be long since handled [02:21] yeah thats what i thought [02:21] but it seems like they are being done by xfce or the login manager? [02:21] if it's marked 'auto' it ought to happen before those are executed, too [02:22] but the root fs is being mounted fine so fstab is being processed at boot, it's just not doing the nfs line [02:23] nfs mounts will have to wait until after the network is up, and systemd's going to have to wait until 'higher' mount points are handled too, so if something is funky with your /home or /home/cm424242 mounts.. [02:23] 'network is up' is sadly way grosser and harder than you can imagine :/. [02:23] or, maybe, after fighting this for a while, you understand it way too well [02:24] bleb: check journalctl, maybe there's something in there? [02:24] journalctl|grep -i nfs is stalling [02:24] how do i interpret this [02:25] if i type journalctl then i then /nfs, it stalls too [02:25] hello, i am trying to salvage files off of my macbook air, i booted to persistent usb, because os won't boot, how can i access OS filesystem? [02:25] oh never mind it just takes forever to do the search [02:28] what does systemd have to do some process in order to retrieve the text log [02:29] sarnold: anyway im not finding any errors related to nfs of fstab... [02:30] bleb: hmm :( how about searching for mount or the IP? [02:31] no dice [02:35] bleb: alright, grasping at straws territory.. systemctl list-units should include generated units for all the mounts .. is there one for the nfs mount? does it have a different status than others? [02:40] sry for dc, let me clarify my question [02:40] i've booted to ubuntu live usb, how can i access mac os file system from live usb stick? [02:43] RoseBus: do you know if you used hfs+ or apfs on your machine? [02:45] sarnold: indeed, there is a unit called "home-cm2444-apu2.mount and it says "loaded failed failed /home/cm/2444/apu2" [02:46] bleb: this is dreaming, but how about journalctl -u home-cm2444-apu2.mount ? [02:47] ahhhh [02:47] "mount.nfs: Network is unreachable" [02:47] so it does the nfs mounts before wpa_supplicant [02:48] i mean NetworkManager :P [02:48] is guess NM only starts when you log in with xfce? === [b0b] is now known as b0b [02:51] i guess it makes sense; different users might have different wifi settings/preferences [02:51] unlikely but conceivable [02:53] it's weird.. I've seen users file bug reports about wifi passwords being stored in /etc/ somewhere after they've clicked the box "available to all users" [02:54] but I think that nm doesn't bother doing anything on its own until a user logs in. maybe. I'm not sure. [02:54] sarnold, i'm not sure, how can i fugre that out [02:54] I've never thought about just turning on a laptop and leaving it, before ;) [02:56] hey i am trying to upgrade firefox to the latest version which is version 68 but currently i have version 66.03, the thing is when i run sudo apt-get update and then run sudo apt-get firefox it doesn't say that anything will be upgraded? [02:56] what am i doing wrong [02:57] RoseBus: try sudo lshw -c disk to see what disks you've got. then sudo fdisk -l /dev/whatever to see what partitions are there, and partition types. [02:57] ghostnik11: What release are you running ? [02:58] Bashing-om, i am running budgie ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS [02:59] !info firefox | ghostnik11 :: Version 67 is what is - [02:59] ghostnik11 :: Version 67 is what is -: firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 67.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 49394 kB, installed size 185557 kB [03:01] Bashing-om, yeah i seen that, okay so i kind of have an idea, that is the latest version of firefox i can upgrade to so far. okay cool. if i select it from synaptic package will it erase the current version and uninstall the components i don't need and just upgrade my version 66 to 67? === TheMesquito is now known as CodeLyoko [03:02] ghostnik11: I am surprised you have not updated to 67 version. What results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' . [03:02] sarnold, i found the apple ssd, i tried "sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sda2 /media/point [03:02] Bashing-om, should i just do it from terminal and do sudo apt-get firefox? i want to know if that command will erase the old version automatically and then after will i just have to do sudo auto-remove [03:02] " [03:03] Bashing-om, will run those commands right now [03:03] it says, "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on sda2, missing codepage or helper program or other error [03:05] RoseBus: is there anything more specific in dmesg? [03:05] Bashing-om, its saying their are 7 items upgradedable but none of the ones they listed included firefox [03:05] sarnold, nope that's all it says... do u think it's bc of encryption? [03:06] RoseBus: very possible [03:06] Bashing-om, its weird, i don't understand why its not including firefox and any other major app [03:06] ghostnik11: 'dpkg -l firefox ' shows what ? [03:06] RoseBus: also, apple's in the process of replacing hfs+ with apfs .. I have no idea if anyone's written drivers for that yet :( [03:06] this macbook air is a few years old [03:07] I was a touch surprised you said ssd; I figured they were flagship for nvme [03:07] maybe they've been around longer than I thought :) [03:08] Bashing-om, before i run dpkg -l firefox, i told it yes for the upgradeable programs and will autoremove the ones it wants me to. it says i will have 200+ mb freed up. which is good because i am on a 2 in 1 bay trail tablet [03:08] Bashing-om, after the autoremove i will run the command for firefox [03:09] ghostnik11: :D [03:11] Bashing-om, okay it showed me something weird when i ran the command. check this out: https://pastebin.com/TxWT7jvM [03:11] Bashing-om, i probably need to restart the tablet [03:11] Howdy... Has anyone played with switching to a Ryzen 3200G or 3400G yet? Any video driver issues? [03:11] sarnold, actually the error earlier is regarding /media/point [03:12] bashfulshell: Yup - houston we do have a situation here. [03:12] RoseBus: heh, did you just have to create the directory? [03:13] ghostnik11: We can try ' sudo apt remove --purge firefox ; sudo apt intall firefox ' . [03:16] sarnold, not so lucky, it's there [03:16] RoseBus: dang [03:16] RoseBus: time to run.. good luck [03:20] Bashing-om, i will try that now [03:22] Bashing-om, i think i know whats going on, so the firefox i have installed is firefox (the snap version) b/c when i just ran the command you told me to do, it said firefox wasn't installed even though it is and i am using it as we speak [03:23] ghostnik11: Does budgie even come with FF by default ? [03:23] Bashing-om, no it came with chrome by default [03:23] Bashing-om, i installed firefox i think through the software center [03:24] Bashing-om, so i should uninstall it via software center then install the regular version that isn't snap. [03:25] ghostnik11: Ho kay :) .. apt and snap do not talk to one another. ' snap list ' shows FF ? [03:26] Bashing-om, yeah it shows it when i run the command and the other ones that are also installed via snap [03:26] Bashing-om, i just realized that even the version of vlc i have is a snap version [03:28] ghostnik11: Ya want to be talking to the snap peeps. [03:28] !snappy | ghostnik11 [03:28] ghostnik11: Ubuntu Core is a rendition of Ubuntu with transactional updates using "snappy". For discussion and support, please visit #snappy and see http://www.ubuntu.com/snappy/ [03:29] Bashing-om, i just did a small read from omgubuntu and realized that the snap version of firefox is bigger than the regular. one so why would the creators make snap? [03:30] Bashing-om, will check snappy site right now [03:31] ghostnik11: snap packaging is purely at the whim of the package maintainer, Got nothing to do with ubuntu :( [03:32] Bashing-om, oh okay, so b/c budgie is a variant of ubuntu they basically decided to choose it [03:32] hi all - I have vscode installed but I when try to use live share I get a message asking me to install some libraries. When I do I get an error `Package 'libssl1.0.0' has no installation candidate` and the prerequistes fail. I'm not really sure what this is trying to tell me. Has anyone seen this before? I'm on 19.04. [03:33] I think it means it can't find the package, but if this is the case where do I go to get it? [03:33] ghostnik11: Doubtful there. As I understand snaps - one has to install any snap package. [03:34] This is what MS told me to run to fix the issue but I get the aforementioned error. `wget -O ~/vsls-reqs https://aka.ms/vsls-linux-prereq-script && chmod +x ~/vsls-reqs && ~/vsls-reqs` [03:39] !info libssl1.0.0 bionic | Snorghma [03:39] Snorghma: libssl1.0.0 (source: openssl1.0): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries. In component main, is standard. Version 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.3 (bionic), package size 893 kB, installed size 3080 kB [03:41] @ubottu so I need to reinstall openssl? [03:41] Bashing-om, okay so the solution for anyone who might have snap is to run this command: sudo snap refresh and it will update all the snap apps on a persons system. if you want to see a list of the apps you can use snap refresh --list [03:43] Snorghma: No - just adjust what you are doing - libssl1.0.0 is the versioning for 18.04. terminal command ' apt list "libssl*" might give a hint where to go. [03:43] ok thanks [03:43] ghostnik11: Yhanks for the feedback ! [03:44] I love my IP address. I got so lucky! [03:44] Also, Ubuntu is my favorite server OS. [03:44] Bashing-om, no problem and thanks for the help also, will restart tablet and see how everything performs [03:46] @ubottu so it seems 19.04 has libssl1.1 installed but vscode liveshare is wanting libssl1.0 - I guess I should uninstall ssl1.1 and let MS install 1.0? [03:48] Snorghma: ubottu is our service bot :) // you do not want to me nessing around with libssl ! [03:50] Snorghma: Soorty big hurry on that last - * want to be messing . See: apt show libssl1.0.0 [03:50] *libssl1.1 [03:54] @Bashing-om ok thanks, yea ssl is kind of an important library I'll check that, thanks [03:55] Snorghma: 'vscode' does not apper to be a ubuntu package, might talk to the group you got it from and advise then that you are on 19.04. Get them to update. [03:59] @Bashing-om hmm I got it from the MS download page - they have a linux release. I guess that release isn't yet compatible with 19.04 entirely? When look at show libssl1.0, I get https://pastebin.com/raw/HzQfVbwr [04:03] !info libssl1.1 disco | Snorghma [04:03] Snorghma: libssl1.1 (source: openssl): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries.

Version 1.1.1b-1ubuntu2.1 (disco), package size 1267 kB, installed size 3854 kB [04:04] Snorghma: Need to talk to MS in that respect and get packaging for the disco release. [04:07] @Bashing-om oh wow ok, thanks I guess I'll email them? There is no way I'm the first person with this issue right? [04:07] Snorghma: Be aware that 19.04 is only supported for 9 months - is very unlikely than anyone is going to put much effort into packaging for such a short term :( [04:08] @Bashing-om yea I can see that, but I should atleast hope for a work around right? Live-share is a an awesome feature and it seem all that is missing for 19.04 is this ssl package. I would think 1.1 should be able to work in place of 1.0 - I guess something is just looking specifically for 1.0. [04:19] Snorghma: Mind you I do not know your application, If you are intent on vscode I do suggest that you install ubuntu 18.04 as this is a Long Term Support ( 5 yesars) . [04:24] @Bashing-om that would be devistaing - I just got 19.04 up and running and cusomized. I just tried to fill out a support ticket with MS but it seems it requires a contract, which I'm not really looking to buy, lol. In theory if I strip out ssl entirely and install 1.0 ... it should work right? I can't believe I don't see anything about this on google. I'm just using stock 19.04 and vscode + live share. I'd think this issue would happen to anyone else [04:24] using these two things. [04:26] I would like to use VScode b/c I working with a small dev team on a project and they are all windows ppl and I'm sure I'll hear about it if linux won't work with VScode but bimdows will. [04:28] Snorghma: Oh boy ! do ' apt depends libssl1.1 ' >> libc6 ! that is the heart of the library system. Mess with that and you break everything ! [04:29] @Bashing-om oh wow ok, well I guess I better not do that then, thanks for warning me [04:29] Hi! I'm looking for help replacing a failed drive in a RAID-5 array, where the OS is on the RAID and the system can't boot. [04:30] Snorghma: were me and I had to .. adjust the vscode script to look to libssl1.1 .

There is hope. https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/38467 [04:59] ok i passed out [05:10] I was mistaken, it's a RAID-10 array. I've created a new partition on the new drive, but it doesn't have a RAID superblock, so mdadm --assemble doesn't think it belongs to the array. [05:14] I can’t connect to my USB NIC card.

[05:17] Am I still here..? Kubuntu 19.04 [05:17] My client is saying im not in the channel [05:21] lotuspsychje: thanks, unfortunately none of those appear to address my issue, nor does all my Googling so far, which seems super weird because it seems like this would be a very common situation. It seems like what I need to do is create a new superblock in the new drive, matching the UUID to the existing drives, but I can't seem to find any mention of this being a thing you can or should do. [05:21] I did find https://itooktheredpill.irgendwo.org/2010/change-uuid-of-a-mdadm-partition/ [05:22] which might solve my problem, but it seems to be a solution for a slightly different problem. [05:24] oooh, wait, I might have it [05:27] success! I was able to assemble the array with only the 3 working drives, then use --run to force it to run like that, then when I tried to add the new drive it didn't complain about anything being missing. It's rebuilding the array now. [05:28] nice phroggy [05:28] Now I believe the only missing piece will be to reinstall grub. [05:44] I can’t connect to my USB NIC card.

When I did "sudo apt update", I get this error https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HXbwqrp965/ . i have spent a fa and a half getting the right protoc version from source that another project needs so i dont wanna install another version of it that might potentially break that depency [06:44] google says i need to reinstall but is there a way around it? [06:46] lag: you should be able to ctrl-alt-F2 (for example) to another TTY and see the process table, if anything is moving [06:47] eraserpencil11: what do you mean? you built that lib from source? [06:49] yea i build the custom protoc from source, but libprotobuf-lite.so.9, I dont know where that came from [06:49] blackflow: That's helpful, thanks [06:49] apw, Are you already aware, that the Kernel PPA build for 5.1.17 failed ? See: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.1.17/BUILD.LOG.amd64 **reporting ** [06:49] eraserpencil11: sounds like you broke apt with that. you shouldn't reall be building random libs over existing ones that re in use by other packages. [06:50] oh man... [06:50] eraserpencil11: yeah, you need containers or chroots for that sort of work. [06:53] hmmm, i manually searched through the system and deleted libproto* prior to building the custom protoc. Read that an old version was screwing with my installation. Perhaps the two could have coexisted. [06:53] now that i broke apt, do you have a remedy for apt? [06:54] eraserpencil11: well I'd tell you to apt install libprotobuf9v5 but that'd be a chicken and the egg problem. [06:54] eraserpencil11: assuming that's xenial? perhaps you can download the .deb from archives and install it with dpkg [06:54] hmmm [06:54] i'll try that [06:55] eraserpencil11: and hopefully you've learned not to remove or modify random files belonging to other packages. [06:56] would that be the one im looking for ? https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libprotobuf-lite9v5 [06:57] eraserpencil11: that'd be my guess from the pastebin you posted [06:57] eraserpencil11: actually, chacnes are you still have the .deb in apt's cache. look into /var/cache/apt/archives/ [06:59] it's surprisingly bare that folder [07:01] eraserpencil11: try `apt-get download libprotobuf-lite9v5` , see or in fact, now that I mention it, see if apt-get works instead... apt-get install --reinstall libprotobuf-lite9v5 === ianychoi_ is now known as ianychoi [07:02] nice! [07:02] it works! [07:03] thanks alot [07:03] eraserpencil11: now mark the package as auto [07:03] apt-mark auto libprotobuf-lite9v5 just in case [07:03] theres a whole list of packages that apt tells me to autoremove, but I'm actually still using them [07:04] you can apt-mark them manual then [07:04] thats a very long list [07:05] eraserpencil11: https://askubuntu.com/questions/652363/how-can-i-get-a-list-with-the-packages-selected-by-apt-get-autoremove [07:06] then you can feed that list via xargs to apt-mark [07:09] think i got it [07:10] thanks for your help [07:10] you're welcome [07:16] actually, if i mark them as auto, they get removed [07:16] I'd have to mark them as manual? [07:16] why are they marked for removel anyway [07:28] Hello, I was trying to install libxcb-errors ( https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb-errors ) but can't find it in the ubuntu repository. Does someone know if it is packaged at all and if yes which package it is? [07:38] regrettably i'm looking for an alternative to thunderbird, as it completely and utterly sucks with large imap folders.. anyone got any suggestions? [07:39] i'm tired of "Loading message..." and "Downloading message..." and nothing happens [07:59] scde: what do you need from it? [08:01] blackflow: It's a (optional) build dependency. But it just bugged me that I couldn't find it. [08:15] zamba: If download speed is in issue an alternative could be something web based like roundcube, for example. [08:15] roundcube is what I use, but requires you to run a web server [08:16] (which, technically, could be local to your machine, it can use IMAPS to connect to remote servers; but it requires a httpd w/ php support, and a database) [08:17] vlt: the problem is not download speed [08:26] zamba: Ok. (That's why I wrote "if ...".) [08:27] Is it possible to get Ubuntu-desktop running with a kernel version before 4.15? [08:28] If anyone wanna discuss Ubuntu on Mumble.. definitely jump into our Mumble VoIP 149.28.63.186 [08:28] vlt: hehe [08:28] aesthe: yeah, default Xenial kernel (non-HWE) is 4.4 [08:30] blackflow, I was hoping for something like 4.14. I did install 4.4 yesterday. but then lost the wifi driver. [08:31] I'm doing a full install now to hopefully get everything back to a working state [08:31] aesthe: why do you need an older kernel tho? [08:32] For reference: I'm using an X1C6 for work. and I need a working version of xl2tpd on my system so I can connect to my work VPN [08:32] it stopped working for me yesterday for no reason [08:33] The ubuntu version was last updated in 2015. The Xelerance version README says theres a kernel issue on vers 4.15+ that prevents it from working properly [08:34] I'm basically trying whatever I can to get something working again === stoffepojken is now known as stoffe === stoffe is now known as stoffepojk === stoffepojk is now known as stoffepojken === frdmn_ is now known as frdmn [09:16] telegram in russia just keep connecting even on open networks [09:29] while in arch works fine [09:43] I have reproduced the weird lock screen graphics bug and captured it in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo0RmJLLYDo [09:53] k_sze: you can file a bug report against the gnome-screensaver package. `ubuntu-bug gnome-screensaver` [10:14] hey guys, i've just noticed i'm still running 17.10 on a system and now i can't do any updates. i've hunted around but i can't find a manual way to push an update to this system without using apt. i'm guessing i just need to download the python3-update-manager manually and install so i can do it, but i can't find it around it [10:14] any ideas? [10:14] !eolupdate | damian [10:14] !eol [10:14] 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 [10:15] thank scf [10:15] cfhowlett [10:15] damian, happy2help! [10:17] i can't believe i didn't find that page with all of the hunting i just did :\ [10:17] googlefu fails me [10:30] why is `apt` being used here and not `apt-get`? https://itsfoss.com/update-ubuntu/ [10:36] raj: https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/ [10:37] thanks jeremy31, ended up reading that [10:37] so I can go from ubuntu 16 to 18 just by typing sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade? [10:38] easy peasy [10:38] raj: No [10:38] that's what it says at https://itsfoss.com/update-ubuntu [10:40] raj: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_or_17.10 [10:42] raj: this article is not about upgrading to a new ubuntu release, but about keeping a system up to date (installing security and bug fixes). apparently ouy did not read it fully, see "Version upgrades are different" on the bottom of said article. [10:42] yes, guess I missed that [10:43] thank you guys [10:44] how can I check the highest version of quassel-core available for ubuntu 16.04? [10:50] !latest | raj [10:50] raj: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [10:51] raj: in other words: ou usually got exactly one version of a package per ubuntu release. if you reall yneed a newer one, you may consider upgrading to a newer ubuntu release (e.g. 18.04 LTS), using a !PPA or a !snap [10:52] I understand. I just want to know the package version that quassel-core can be updated to in 16.04 [10:55] Wasn't there a bot in here that gave that info in the past? [11:00] anyway, found the website, but vaguely remember a bot in the channel for the same [11:02] does it matter if I do `sudo do-release-upgrade` within a screen session? [11:03] man, I really picked the quietest time to need help =| never seen this place so desolate === im0nde_ is now known as im0nde [11:24] it shouldn't matter if it's running inside screen or not [11:25] howdy folks [11:27] hi, raj's gone. and i missed his / her other questions for lack of hilights [12:41] Hi there #ubuntu people :-) [12:41] welcome to ubuntu support, Bob-Obo [12:42] Thanks! [12:43] wow, really quiet here this morning [12:43] [relative-noobie, need help for new ssd best filesystem for use on ubunutu and windows]. I have a new 1tb Samsung Evo 860 mSATA SSD... I'd like to use it for reading/writing files on ubuntu and windows. Many files I have are over 4gb. What's the best filesystem I should format my SSD to, to use with Ubuntu and Windows? Thanks in advance, cheers [12:44] besides dedicated OS partitions, have a shared NTFS data partiiton [12:44] let ubuntu use the file system it wants, and let windows use the one it wants [12:45] ext4 for ubuntu, ntfs for windows, but you're going to have to deal with uefi/gpt as well [12:45] dual boot [12:48] back to silence then [12:48] the joy of +r +j [12:50] aha, re-activated +r [12:51] poor new users ...gonna have to use google and the forums [12:52] is +j #ubuntu specific ? [12:54] BluesKaj: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/channelmodes [12:58] ahhh, so most unregistered (new) users end up in the unregged chat with instructions [12:58] yes [13:05] Thx tomreyn / compdoc / BluesKaj. I should've mentioned, I'd like to have only one partition because I want/need to make use of the full max storage space possible, so having 2 partitions is highly not desirable. I'd (ideally) like to have only one partition, formatted with just one filesystem that would work best for both reading and writing on both Windows and Ubuntu, with more than 4gb capability. I don't think I'll be doing the dual-boot option, but [13:05] instead will probably install Windows 7 &/or 10 on a VM, and then share the folders. -If that makes sense. Advice/suggestions? [13:06] Bob-Obo: NTFS [13:06] Bob-Obo: you can't install linux on NTFS, and windows can't read any linux filesystem, you'll need at least two separate filesystems [13:06] ayekat: He is not asking to do that. Read his question. [13:06] Bob-Obo, thats what it seemed like you wanted, but there is not one filesystem for both, unless its ntfs and thats not ideal [13:07] oh, it's for an external hard drive [13:07] my bad [13:07] This will be for secondary storage drive only, not primary os drive. [13:07] Bob-Obo, then install ubuntu using the automatic method, after you're done then then the VM for windows [13:07] Not external, its an internal mSATA, but will be secondary drive. [13:09] Bob-Obo: Use NTFS. Anything else will cause issues. FAT32 is not an option because of file size limitations. [13:09] ExFAT is not really designed for this. [13:11] Ok thanks for your advice, much appreciated [13:12] Also, what terminal command do I type in to know the Kernal version? [13:12] uname -a [13:13] uname -r [13:14] Ok, so it says my unit is: 4.18.0-16-lowlatency [13:14] But to my understanding, it should be 15.0 ? [13:15] * 5.0 [13:15] Why do you want a kernel version of 5.0? [13:16] 19.10 gives 5.x, so you are on 18.04+hwe [13:17] Sorry I'm not sure, my techy friend who converted me to Ubuntu and installed it for me, was saying I should be on v5.0 and was trying to figure out why mine wasn't yet, but couldn't figure it out. He's out of the country now, so told me join this IRC for questions/help. I'm not sure of the v5.0 Kernal purpose. lol [13:18] wrong info, what is your ubuntu version exactly? [13:18] I'm actually running Ubuntu 19.04 [13:19] also low latency kernel suggests you installed ubuntu studio? [13:21] hmm, its possible (studio).. but not sure exactly [13:23] Bob-Obo, in terminal lsb_release -a << I think that still works [13:23] or [13:23] install neofetch for pretty thingy [13:31] coz_: No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu. Description: Ubuntu 19.04. Release: 19.04. Codename: disco. [13:44] on one of my xenial notebooks, avahi-browse 0.6.32-rc became unable to find any services. restarting network-manager and avahi-daemin did not help. my other notebooks still see them, and they also see the blinded notebook. any ideas? [13:45] it worked yesterday and I didn't update since. [13:45] nah delete that, I might have auto-update enabled [14:14] hey [14:15] does disco dingo have a stable release yet? [14:16] !disco [14:16] Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) is the 30th release of Ubuntu, supported until January 2020. Release Notes: http://ubottu.com/y/dingo [14:16] oh, it's not LTS [14:16] seems like it does, since april [14:16] I thought all xx.04 were LTS [14:17] raj: Nope, but all LTS are xx.04 [14:17] Every *other& year [14:17] Hey can i have help need to install appache [14:17] sucks [14:17] raj: why? what do you need? [14:17] how can I get quassel-core 0.13 in 18.04? [14:18] !ask | adol-christin [14:18] adol-christin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:18] im sorry >_> [14:18] no worries, adol-christin ;) [14:19] raj: is there a reason you need the LTS release, though? [14:19] Hi all ! [14:20] either you get long-term stability, or you get the latest features - that's kind of a trade-off you make [14:20] meulFire: hi there [14:20] ayekat: so I don't have to keep updating, as this is being used on a webserver [14:20] adol-christin: so you need help with installing apache httpd (the webserver), i assume? which buntu version are you running?
