[00:46] with "Windows 2013" and "Windows 2012", I can't find the microSD at all. =) [00:46] I'll try even older ones [01:09] on ubuntu 18.04 in my system settings I have “automatic suspend” set to “off”. However if I wait 10 minutes or so, it still suspends (the screen goes blank, when I touch something I have to sign in again) [01:10] I want this to never happen ever. [01:10] what else do I do? === fernando is now known as Guest39834 [01:13] bilb_ono: "automatic suspend" is a power saving feature for the computer as a whole. There is also a display power saving setting, which triggers a session lock, which is what you are seeing [01:14] oh [01:15] ok. so bigger picture , I am trying to install plexmediaserver on my comp. I am picturing that every time a machine wants to access it (to stream a video) it will need to be awake and running [01:15] what do I need to do to make sure its awake and running [01:17] bilb_ono: those settings are all availble in the "power" applet in the settings control panel. If you have disabled those features there, the computer will remain on. The behavior your describing I believe is located under the "screen" applet in the control panel, those settings will not turn off the CPU/Computer as a whole [01:24] ok thanks === zbenjamin is now known as Guest30953 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:24] anybody around [02:24] sometimes [02:24] why do you ask?

I have a Dockerfile that uses Ubuntu 14.04 as the base image. I have a python package that depends on me using Python 2.7.10 but the system Python for Ubuntu is 2.7.6. How would I go about installing a newer version of Python? Ideally I'd like to do apt-get install. [07:40] my touchpad is driving me insane trying to type. [07:41] the laptop is pretty slow, I cant tell if the inpt field lost focus or if the box is frozen [07:41] Im on lubuntu [07:41] I have a mouse hooked up [07:45] kadz: update to a supported version of ubuntu - 14.04 isn't supported anymore [07:46] kadz: and more generally, you typically can't upgrade to newer versions of software in the same release - that's just the concept of stable releases :-) [07:49] Also, why not base it on a python image instead? [07:51] the web pages I found about disabling the trackpad are all very old, I tried to install an app that autodetects if a mouse is plugged in but it refused to install [07:52] what is the right lubuntu way to do this? [07:55] o well, ill just put tape over it like the webcam [07:59] gde33: does your laptop not have a key to disable the touchpad? [08:00] alternatively, some laptop models can also disable the touchpad in the firmware (EFI/BIOS) [08:03] gde33: as always when asking such questions, it is very useful to discuss which ubuntu version you're using, and which graphical desktop. this can tell both: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";) === esotericnonsens_ is now known as esotericnonsense [08:43] geirha I'll check if there's a python image that uses ubuntu as a base. Thanks. [08:44] If not ubuntu, there's probably a debian based one === jstein_ is now known as jstein [08:58] Transfer rate is extremely slow, at only about 3mb/s. I thought USB 3.0 was supposed to be very fast, why is mine so slow? Is there any way to make it faster transfer speed? [SATA SSD, formatted as NTSF, connected via USB 3.0 external enclosure, transferring to Msata SSD, NTSF, installed in internal secondary drive bay, storage only, no OS] [08:59] Bob-Obo: everything in the chain must be able to suppor the speeds, you should try to locate your bottle neck [09:04] mjayk: thanks for the reply. How would I troubleshoot that? [still a novice here] [09:06] Bob-Obo: basically replace things. I.e. do you have a USB 3.0 memory stick that you can test. Can you try a different port can you try a different enclosure etc etc. [09:07] So there's no commands to run any kind of tests, etc? [09:09] Bob-Obo: What would you be wanting to test though [09:10] Bob-Obo: you could check "dmesg" for any errors or run a smart test on the ssd i guess [09:10] NTFS will make things slow (though not necessarily this slow, unless it's many small files), consider using a better supproted file system. [09:10] i'd try a usb3 device to make sure the port works right, and then get another usb3 enclosure or something or just put the ssd straight into the sata [09:15] Ok so I just ran 'dmesg', gave me a rather large result, not sure how to decipher it. How do I share the result here? [pastebin?] [09:15] Bob-Obo: what's the name of the ssd? /dev/sdb etc? check "sudo parted -ls" for the name then try "dmesg | grep sdb" or whatever name you get [09:16] Bob-Obo: just to be sure, can you double-check that the enclosure is connected to a usb3 port? [09:22] Bob-Obo: dmesg | pastebinit [09:24] this will submit the full (though possibly shortened, if longer than the websites' limit) kernel log to paste.ubuntu.com [09:27] hi is this also a channel for ubuntu server users?

I dont know how to read any of that data. Im just a new linux user, non-programmer. Just an avg joe. [10:40] Bob-Obo: we enither, we can just search the web as well. it would be good to have more information, such as how this drive identifies itself.this may provide this information: disconnect what was connected to usb and became the sdc drive. then run udevadm monitor -k in a terminal, then connect this usb device. then wait a few seconds and press ctrl-c to return to the shell. then post any output printed there. [10:40] i have a quick question, how do you grant file permission in ubuntu? [10:40] like this one - Tcl error [::DuckHunt::update_nickchange_tracking]: couldn't open "scripts/duck_hunt/database/pending_transfers.db": permission denied [10:41] i need to grant permission on the folder database [10:41] i did chmod +x scripts/duck_hunt/database [10:41] but it did not solve the problem [10:43] juanonymous: you are running CloudBot right? [10:43] juanonymous: the user executing this script must be able to do so. if this is *your* user, then you already solved this part. however, the user executing this script must also be allowed to enter the directory this script is stored in. that's the other condition which must be satisfied. [10:43] juanonymous: the user who is running CloudBot needs to have permissions to write to that file. Changing the executable bit won't sort it. You probably want to run "chown -R username: /path/to/cloudbot" where "username" is the name of the user running cloudbot [10:44] oh right, that's a database, not a script, sorry. [10:44] juanonymous: if you're in doubt, share the output of "ls -l /path/to/scripts/duck_hunt/databases" in a pastebin [10:45] will do [10:45] still the need to be able to access the directory still applies. [10:45] one moment [10:45] what user is running the cloudbot process? "ps aux | grep -i cloudbot" - first column is username [10:45] i think it's "ls -l /path/to/scripts/duck_hunt/database" [10:46] well whatever [10:46] (singular, not plural 'database' [10:46] but yeah you are right [10:48] juanonymous: "chmod +x scripts/duck_hunt/database" will only set permissions on the directory, not the files within it. So it would allow listing the directory contents only. [10:49] that is a special meaning of +x executable bit, that applies to directories. since executing a directory doesn't make sense. [10:50] https://termbin.com/1a88 [10:51] juanonymous: OK so it's all owned as root. [10:51] juanonymous: what user is running the cloudbot process? "ps aux | grep -i cloudbot" - first column is username [10:51] juanonymous: (assuming it is cloudbot) [10:52] it's hoy [10:52] username is hoy [10:52] "hoy" is the username? If so, you need to just make all those files owned by "hoy" like so: [10:52] sudo chown -Rv hoy:hoy /path/to/cloudbot [10:53] as, by design, "hoy" user usually can't modify files owned by root [10:53] what does -Rv means btw? [10:53] sorry [10:53] -R means recursive, enter all subdirectories [10:53] -v just menas verbose, print what it's doing [10:53] be careful youdon't typo the path [10:53] oh i see [10:53] verbrose [10:53] because "sudo chown -R" will happily go over your entire filesystem if you accidenally tell it to [10:55] after you run that, you can run "ls -l" again and you should see the directory "database" owned by hoy now [10:55] you can test by trying to create file in that directory as "hoy" user using "touch" command. prior to running chown, you would have got permission denied error. [10:55] or just run cloudbot of course [10:57] chown shouldn't take that long [11:00] Hello! I'm afraid this one's trivial, but I just wanted to double-check that my guess is right - the mv command can move *and* rename at the same time, right? [11:00] e.g. mv image.png ../renamed.png [11:00] ANAND: correct [11:00] Ok, thanks! :) [11:01] Have a great day [11:15] thanks [11:16] it's all good now [12:35] Hi folks [13:18] hi [13:25] o/ [13:31] is ubuntu on kernel 5.1 yet?

[14:20] jil: service systemd-timesyncd status ? [14:20] jil: on a default ubuntu installation, this should already be the case. if you disabled it, timedatectl set-ntp true [14:25] I get an error with a programm make resquest to a rest sever. one git issus suggest to check the clock syncronization and to set the time server to time.nist.gov [14:25] but I see that ntpdate should help [14:25] ubuntu launches some apps very slow. it takes 20-30 seconds to open [14:26] no, I get the error from a python function making a request to an only service.

[14:30] jadax: search in ubuntu store [14:30] B|ack0p: Both of those applications operate inside of Snaps, which is a containered environment. Performance issues would have to be addressed by their respective development teams. [14:30] jil: i assume B|ack0p was not responding to you there, but stating a separate issue they're trying to get help with. [14:30] B|ack0p: a 20-30 second delay screams "DNS problem" to me [14:30] but don't take it as gospel [14:31] jadax: https://snapcraft.io/notepad-plus-plus [14:31] jil: which ubuntu version are you using, are all updates installed, are you running a recent kernel? [14:31] mgedmin: hmm [14:31] B|ack0p I normally use just apt-get, snap is alternative to apt-get, right? [14:32] jadax: yes [14:32] I don't want to maintain two separate package managers [14:32] is that how people do it these days? [14:32] jil: and does the time reported by timedatectl status seem correct? [14:32] i try to use apt only [14:32] yes and no: both can be used to install software, but they install from different package archives so the selection of things (and versions) you can install with apt vs snap is different [14:32] B|ack0p, snaps are slow due to a font-caching issue (but should be fixed soon) [14:33] when something is not available through apt-get, I'm quite happy to install it via snap [14:33] ioria: well today i received some updates about font-caching issue.. [14:33] also i got an error while opening firefox [14:33] vs code and spotify killing me really waiting to open [14:34] B|ack0p, should be fixed soon (not right now :þ) [14:34] and i dont understand if i clicked properly because circle doesnt turn when i click [14:34] normally when i click on an icon circle suppose to turn to show the process :p [14:34] ioria: ok i wait [14:35] i prefer to use apt but some doesnt have that.. so i had to install via snap [14:36] i think ubuntu should find a way to make it only 1 installation type [14:36] snap with store or apt-get without store [14:36] with store it feels commercial line iOS or Google play [14:36] B|ack0p, gnome-software probably will drop snaps [14:36] i prefer apt-get without store [14:37] * mgedmin carefully refrains from mentioning that he also installs some tools with cargo install, pip install, and gem install [14:37] ioria: perfect! hope they drop soon [14:37] why only 1 installation type, freedom! [14:37] snap has some security benefits as well no? [14:37] mgedmin: good for you :p i dont know what they are lol [14:38] cans of worms, basically [14:38] OerHeks: if u mention about freedom why dont we install .exe too? :p [14:38] snaps is like a ppa, trust the maintainer [14:38] wine installwizard.exe [14:38] not all [14:38] well, it is not the right channel for a flamewar, B|ack0p [14:38] ok ok [14:38] lets get back to support, thanks [14:38] sorry [14:39] i got excited :p [14:39] shame snap didn't :p [14:39] but this is not freedom lol [14:40] is vscode snap? i think i installed it via apt-get [14:40] i dont remember.. [14:40] mgedmin: I think the core difference is, when trying to give support, cargo/pip/gem don't integrate into software centre, so operators shouldn't be mislead into believing what is installed is supported (by Ubuntu community) [14:42] ubuntu is buggy today :/ [14:43] i received update "libexiv2-14 [14:43] whatever it is [14:45] sounds like a library for extracting the metadata from JPEG files [14:45] !info libexiv2 [14:45] Package libexiv2 does not exist in bionic [14:45] hmm [14:46] !info libexiv2-14 [14:46] libexiv2-14 (source: exiv2): EXIF/IPTC/XMP metadata manipulation library.

[15:39] TJ-, that doesn't seem to overwrite the files if the version of the package is the same as the one already installed [15:39] cmrabet, did you "man dpkg"? there are loads of options to choose from [15:40] TJ-, if the versions are different, then yes, dpkg does install, but the problem is that it removes any files that existed in the previous one. I guess what I need is "incremental" updates. [15:41] I'm generating deb packages that contain "additions" to the previous versions, rather than the whole software over and over with new changes. [15:41] "additions" or "changes" to the previous versions. [15:41] cmrabet: you mean package deltas? [15:41] ihi [15:41] what is preformatted text means in librewriter?

[15:46] TJ-, I think dpkg has flags for what I want to do, --update-avail and --merge-avail [15:48] hortiel: within a preformatted section, you'd also expect that other text formats are ignored while 'preformatting' applies. basically, text is displayed as it would have been before (pre) formatting it.

[16:06] how build on? [16:06] brb [16:06] check your system logs, make sure there are no critical errors [16:06] maybe i should reboot [16:06] ok logs first [16:08] so, you messed around with keys, now a 3rd party plugin is bugging you?

[16:23] OerHeks, mini [16:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:24] OerHeks, after said mini iso was on that link, but thanks [16:24] wr, mini iso is unsuitable for UEFI bios systems [16:25] OerHeks, what DE will be the fastest and lowest resouce to install, i just need to do a test VM [16:25] OerHeks, i dont have UEFI ye [16:25] *yet [16:25] lubuntu, mate, xubuntu .. [16:25] OerHeks, lower than lubuntu any? [16:26] maybe i3wm ? [16:26] xubuntu is pretty low on resources, for me [16:27] OerHeks, the lowest i know is lubuntu, lower i think have to just use a WM [16:27] wr: low/lightest also depends on the hardware, sometimes the hardware runs better on a xubuntu for example [16:28] lotuspsychje, in my all hardwares lubuntu always is lower and i have used it on three different pc's [16:30] wr: im just second OerHeks advice, xubuntu is also pretty low on resources [16:35] lotuspsychje, prefer lubuntu, i have used xubuntu bfore [16:37] TJ-, so far with acpi_osi settings I just got errors to the effect of "no such file /dev/mmcblk2". could it appear with other names? [16:38] TJ-: thanks. i created mail alias [16:38] Hello, I have just installed Ubuntu 19.10 on my laptop Acer aspire E1-571G. When I checked "secure boot", it wouldn't boot, it hanged after LSB something (sorry I forgot the exact thing). Now I unchecked secure boot and third party drivers as well and it boots but it says "Failed to start Switcheroo Control Proxy". Is this something I should worry about? [16:38] Antoine: come join to #ubuntu+1 please [16:39] lotuspsychje: Ok, why? [16:39] Sven_vB: have you been able to install on that acer? [16:39] Antoine: 19.10 support is handled in #ubuntu+1 [16:39] Ok thanks [16:39] Oh sorry my bad [16:39] Antoine, I'm currently debugging an annoying Acer as well. with that one it's normal it seems to freeze for about a minute in regular startup; also yesterday it froze a bit earlier and longer, so I hard-reset it and it booted normally. [16:40] Its Ubuntu 19.04, the latest from Ubuntu website, sorry [16:40] lotuspsychje, haven't tried yet. I managed to boot GRUB from the HDD once, but couldn't reproduce yet. [16:44] I just tested without the acpi_osi options, still can't see mmcblk2. maybe the card just unstuck. [16:46] yeah. there goes one hour of testing wasted. [16:52] TJ-: but ctrl+enter is not working insteading ctrl+click is? I'd like a cmd,... [16:53] TJ-: I read your tutorial and succeeded but click is only working. [16:54] is there anything in the plasma window manager that would qualify as the side by side multiple desktop switcher ie xfce? [16:55] er plasma desktop world.. [16:55] a widget or add-on? [16:56] closest one I've found so far seems to be pager and its a bit heavy [17:01] hortiel, if OO becomes all too annoying, you could try switching to more text-based markups where you have full control over roles and layouts, e.g. HTML or TeX (I used LyX, https://www.lyx.org/Walkthrough) [17:07] An even simpler alternative is MarkDown, but it has several limitations. [17:09] Tenkawa: you can add one to the "sidebar" which is pretty much the same as the XFCE one [17:10] Sven_vB: i came from emacs [17:10] what is OO? it's LO libreoffice not openoffice. [17:11] oh? let me take a look [17:11] hortiel, oh right, I still had the old name in mind. [17:11] Shortcut Keys for Tables in LibreOffice Writer ... https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Shortcut_Keys_for_Writer [17:13] Walex: thanks.. I'll take a look [17:13] So can I safely ignore "Failed to start Switcheroo Control Proxy"? [17:20] known issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/switcheroo-control/+bug/1768988 [17:20] Launchpad bug 1768988 in Fedora "switcheroo-control fails to detect multi-gpu system" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:20] make sure your bios version is up2date [17:21] if it still fails, disable secure boot, but that is a rough solution [17:49] OerHeks: I think I can only disable secure boot by switching from uefi to legacy [17:49] That might involve reinstalling, which I'd like to avoid [18:22] now only issue is not existing Guest user -- [18:23] i cant imagine how stable win10 is working on my 10 yrs old thinkpad core2duo [18:23] i mean more stable than win7 not ubuntu :p [18:24] oh sorry wrong place [18:25] dualboot is confusing sometimes :p [18:40] i'm trying to locate a script that's creating sql dumps to a remote storage location. how do i find out where the script is? [18:41] becool, you could use the inotify tools to see what process opens the files. [18:42] But you could also grep through cron === rl is now known as wr [18:54] lordcirth: good suggestions [19:00] nothing in local cron dirs. this script is on a remote system somewhere and i'm trying to trace where [19:20] Is there anyone here who prefers Seahorse over KeePassXC after trying them both? [19:20] coffeecow: come join in #ubuntu-discuss please [19:29] lordcirth: how do i use inotify tools? [19:31] becool, hmm, I thought that inotify-wait could tell you the process that touched it, but it seems not? [19:31] I have a USB drive I got from a company [19:31] when i insert it [19:31] it types RR on linux [19:31] i imagine the person thought I would be on windows [19:31] why is it doing this? [19:31] JonelethIrenicus, what do you mean it types RR? You mean it shows up as a keyboard and sends keypresses? [19:31] lordcirth: not sure [19:31] becool, however, if this script is running over ssh, you could monitor /var/log/auth.log? [19:32] lordcirth: it would seem so [19:32] JonelethIrenicus, that is a very suspicious thing for a USB stick to do. [19:32] lordcirth: i agree, but i want to make sure [19:32] how can i get to the files on this? [19:33] JonelethIrenicus, does it show up as a mass storage device at all? [19:33] lsblk -f [19:34] lordcirth: thanks [19:35] Hi, I've got a problem. there is somewhere a trigger in my system (desktop, xfce) that let crackle my audio periodically and if xfce4-volumed is active the osd volume appears then. what could it be? the first time this behaviour happend was as I pressed the volume up or down on my old keyboard but it happens with my new keyboard too [19:35] lordcirth: no luck [19:35]
