| abtm | question when you have a moment, in prep for reload of the system with fresh OS, I would like to take an inventory of the installed packages so that I can compare it to what the new base install has | 00:04 |
| MannyLNJ | tomreyn, https://pastebin.com/YBU56KAE | 00:04 |

| rshah_sp | any idea how to get netplan to work with a VLAN with DHCP? | 00:27 |
| rshah_sp | this is what I have now | 00:27 |
| rshah_sp | network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: | 00:27 |
| rshah_sp | ens7: match: macaddress: 5a:00:02:2f:5a:14 | 00:27 |
| rshah_sp | mtu: 1450 set-name: ens7 vlans: vlan20: | 00:27 |
| rshah_sp | link: ens7 id: 20 dhcp4: true | 00:27 |
| rshah_sp | wow that did not format well, but this does not work, not getting a dhcp address | 00:28 |
| AngelKde | rshah_sp, please use pastebin | 00:28 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: is there a DHCP server on the VLAN? | 00:29 |
| AngelKde | https://pastebin.com/login | 00:29 |
| rshah_sp | https://pastebin.com/ik9epkjR | 00:29 |
| rshah_sp | yes, there is a DHCP server on vlan | 00:29 |
| rshah_sp | and if I move the dhcp4: true to the section under interface (not under vlan), I get a DHCP address from the Default VLAN DHCP server | 00:29 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: check the systemd-networkd journal for clues... it may be requesting a lease and not getting a reply | 00:29 |
| rshah_sp | TJ- good idea, checking | 00:31 |
| rshah_sp | Where can I find that information? I've never checked that before | 00:32 |
| rshah_sp | I think I ahve to request the logfile be generated right? | 00:32 |
| rshah_sp | got it actually | 00:33 |
| rshah_sp | https://pastebin.com/D9HJ2ArQ | 00:35 |
| rshah_sp | here is all the info re vlan20 which I am trying to use | 00:35 |
| rshah_sp | Seems it is trying to get a DHCP4, but not getting one | 00:37 |
| rshah_sp | but I don't see an error | 00:37 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: time to enable debug output from systemd-networkd I think... one nice thing when using NetworkManager instead, is, it uses dhclient and that reports each request in the log so you can easily tell if it's requesting and not getting a reply | 00:40 |
| rshah_sp | I can switch to networkmanager, no reason I was using networkd as far as I know | 00:42 |
| TJ- | netplan generator puts the systemd-networkd config in /run/systemd/network/ --- might be worth double-checking those look sane, but the log seems to show vlan20 is trying to get a lease, so I'd put tcpdump on that vlan and watch the packets, see if systemd-networkd is sending requests and not getting replies | 00:44 |
| mnathani | what are some things you can do on AWS that you can't really do yourself on any other platform? | 00:45 |

| fleabeard | hello friends, would anyone know why I can close out chromium and work for hours and then later bring it up and it's telling me it crashed and I can recover my last site visited? I'm not seeing any crashing when I close the browser at all and am just confused. | 00:55 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: so you're not seeing replies? | 00:56 |
| rshah_sp | it appears no, not when the dhcp4: true is in the VLAN section. when I move that line to the interface section, I see a reply from my dhcp server | 00:56 |
| rshah_sp | i'm diagnosing on the dhcp server end now to see what it is doing when the request comes in | 00:57 |
| rshah_sp | I"m using PfSense | 00:57 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: on both the client is broadcasting a request (0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255) so the reply isn't coming in | 00:58 |
| rshah_sp | seems to be the case. | 00:58 |
| rshah_sp | should the client be including the VLAN tag when it sends out the request? | 00:58 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: the client won't know about the VLAN, its just an ethernet link as far as it is concerned | 00:59 |
| rshah_sp | and by client you mean the Ubuntu box? | 00:59 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: yes, and specifically the dhcp client on that | 00:59 |
| rshah_sp | so what does defining the VLAN in netplan do? | 01:00 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: creates a systemd.netdev config in /run/systemd/network/ | 01:00 |
| rshah_sp | got it. As far as I can tell, PfSense is not even receiving the DHCP request | 01:01 |
| rshah_sp | it receives it when I have dhcp4: true in the interface section | 01:01 |
| rshah_sp | but not in the vlan section | 01:01 |
| zette | hi, i have a problem. i just installed ubuntu mate, but when i want to play music with rhytmbox, it is no sound, even though it is full volume. how to fix it? | 01:04 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: so the vlan config at one end or the other is broken | 01:08 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: is it passing through a switch? are ports tagged/untagged ? | 01:08 |
| rshah_sp | Not passing through a switch, it's connected directly to PfSEnse | 01:09 |
| rshah_sp | and to throw a wrench into this, this is all on Vultr ( similar to Digital Ocean ) | 01:09 |
| rshah_sp | I just opened a ticket, I'm not sure what they use for their Virtual NICs, so it may be that this might not work at all if PfSense cannot properly handle the VLANs | 01:10 |

| p0wder | hey, i have ubuntu 18.04 installed on 2 different pcs- | 01:22 |

| Bashing-om | p0wder: One is from the 18.04 linage, the other is 18.04.2 linage where HWE is active, | 01:27 |

| ubottu | p0wder: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 01:27 |
| TJ- | rshah_sp: if their backend uses VLANs itself then they'd need to support 802.11ad for 802.1Q | 01:28 |
| p0wder | that makes sense, im pretty sure i used 18.04 for one and 18.04.02 for the other | 01:29 |

| ice9 | so why only 18.04 is extended for 10 years? | 11:22 |
| SwedeMike | ice9: https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-18-04-ten-year-support/ | 11:23 |
| OerHeks | why not? | 11:25 |
| tomreyn | the 5 years free, 5 years esm offer was introduced for 18.04 and later releases. for 16.04, after ESM is available for 3 years (after 5 years of free support). | 11:27 |

| zteam | Hi all, what is the proper way to use sudo with graphical software these days? I know pkexec is highly recommended these days, but that doesn't work well with Gedit for example? | 11:59 |
| zteam | I used to use gksu before but, that's not available in the repos any longer | 12:00 |
| ioria | zteam, what 's the problem with gedit ? | 12:01 |
| zteam | ioria, it doesn't know which display to run on. This is on Xorg, no Wayland or some fancy stuff | 12:03 |
| ioria | zteam, pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY gedit | 12:05 |
| zteam | ioria, of course, I could cheat and just do sudo -i gedit for example... But, you are not supposed to be doing this :) | 12:06 |
| ioria | ok | 12:06 |
| zteam | ioria, That one actually works great :) but the syntax is pretty messy (at least for a distrubution aimed at user-friendly-ness :) | 12:08 |
| ioria | zteam, raccomended way is : gedit admin:///path/to/file.txt | 12:08 |
| OerHeks | i have nautilus-admin installed, to open files with priv. | 12:08 |
| ioria | or that ^ | 12:09 |
| zteam | OerHeks, true, there are ways around it, I'm just a bit suprised that there isn't a clean solution (like gksu) avaialable after all these years... (If you use Wayland do it like this... If you use Xorg do it like this... if you wanto to use application like synaptic do in a different way | 12:13 |
| OerHeks | it is in the releasenotes, not to edit files as root as you used to, anymore. | 12:14 |
| OerHeks | design choice, i think it has a security reason | 12:14 |
| zteam | I have been using Ubuntu for around 10 years now, and even I wasn't sure about the right way to launch different applications with sudo (not saying I'm an expert, just saying) | 12:16 |
| zteam | OerHeks, have to admitt I haven't readed the release notes too good perhaps :D | 12:17 |
| zteam | It just feels like the newer versions of Ubuntu I install the more workarounds and tweaks I need to apply to get my system working again :-/ | 12:19 |
| zteam | Well on the bright side I really enjoy Gnome-shell apart from GDM not starting properly all the times :) | 12:21 |
| black_13 | how do i find out what version of ubuntu i can install gcc 4.4.7 on | 12:23 |
| OerHeks | black_13, none > https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gcc | 12:26 |
| OerHeks | even ancient xenial is at 4.5.3 | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | xenial is actually 5.3.1 by default, but also offers 4.7.3 via gcc-4.7 | 12:27 |
| zteam | black_13, well... I haven't tried it myself, but there is a package called adapt in the repos, it's supposed to let you run packages for any older version of Ubuntu, using lxC | 12:27 |
| tomreyn | 4.7.4 actually | 12:28 |
| testubuntu | hey | 12:28 |
| black_13 | I am working on a legacy system that has 4.4.7 it can not be changed | 12:28 |
| testubuntu | i got a tower from a guy | 12:28 |
| OerHeks | black_13, interesting, so it is not a supported version of ubuntu? | 12:28 |
| jost | Hi! On SSH login, I get messages like this: 61 packages can be updated. | 12:28 |
| jost | 0 updates are security updates. | 12:28 |
| jost | - How can I get this message in a script? | 12:28 |
| testubuntu | it currently has ubuntu 18 installed. How do i format everything completely and reinstall ubuntu 18.04? | 12:29 |
| jost | I want to send it in an email regularly | 12:29 |
| zteam | black_13, you mean you can't upgrade ubuntu or you mean you only need that version of the compiler? | 12:29 |
| black_13 | the compiler | 12:29 |
| OerHeks | testubuntu, boot the iso, and choose 'use whole disk' | 12:29 |
| testubuntu | how do i make sure there are not rootkits or anything? | 12:30 |
| tomreyn | testubuntu: do you need to ensure the data on there is not (potentially) easily restorable (secure deletion) or do you just need to start from a clean slate? | 12:30 |
| black_13 | i picked ubuntu because it is easier to use | 12:30 |
| testubuntu | no* | 12:30 |
| OerHeks | testubuntu, remove all partitions in a live session, and rewrite the MBR/GPT | 12:30 |
| OerHeks | easy peasy | 12:30 |
| testubuntu | i don't know how to do that | 12:31 |
| OerHeks | start live session > start disks > and the menu is self explaining | 12:31 |
| zteam | black_13, then adapt seems to be what you are looking for, it will probably eat a bit more disk space but it's a clean way to run older versions of software | 12:31 |
| black_13 | oh | 12:31 |
| black_13 | how does that work | 12:32 |
| black_13 | and disk space i have | 12:32 |
| zteam | black_13, from the repo: "Description: adapt package from one version of Ubuntu to another | 12:33 |
| zteam | This package provides a simple, clean method to install and use | 12:33 |
| zteam | packages, services, and binaries from one version of Ubuntu onto | 12:33 |
| zteam | another, without requiring PPAs. | 12:33 |

| EoflaOEViceCity | hello blueskaj | 12:33 |
| testubuntu | OerHeks start what menu? | 12:33 |
| black_13 | but can you go back something as old as gcc 4.4.7 | 12:33 |
| testubuntu | you mean after inserting the usb with the .iso file? | 12:34 |
| testubuntu | booting from usb | 12:34 |
| BluesKaj | hi EoflaOEViceCity | 12:34 |
| tomreyn | black_13: this is not supported on this channel. we only support ubuntu releases which are not end of life and the packages they provide. | 12:34 |
| zteam | black_13, I haven't tried it myself, all I can tell you is what's inside that description, if you are unsure, try adapt on another computer before you upgrade. | 12:35 |
| ioria | it's a container | 12:35 |
| black_13 | tomreyn and? | 12:35 |
| jost | Ok, found my answer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/269606/apt-get-count-the-number-of-updates-available | 12:35 |
| tomreyn | black_13: and so we can't help you installing gcc-4.4.7 here | 12:36 |
| black_13 | or you can't | 12:36 |
| zteam | ioria, exactly, thats why it propably is going to eat alot of disk space, | 12:36 |
| tomreyn | zteam: about your questions: there's cron-apt, which sends mail, but it doesn't do so in the very format you get to see when you login | 12:37 |
| derjohn_was_occu | apw: Any chances for a kernel PPA build in a foreseeable time? | 12:38 |
| zteam | tomreyn, thanks but you are confusing me with someone else, I have loads questions, bot none about that :D | 12:38 |
| testubuntu | OerHeks? | 12:38 |
| tomreyn | zteam: right, sorry | 12:38 |
| tomreyn | jost: there's cron-apt, which sends mail, but it doesn't do so in the very format you get to see when you login | 12:39 |
| jost | tomreyn: The mail should contain a lot more things, like RAID status and so on, so that is not an option unfortunately | 12:39 |
| zteam | black_13, just test the tool, that's all we can say, if you don't have a machine to do it on, backup your harddrive or use Vmware or Virtualbox | 12:39 |
| zteam | ioria, OerHeks, Sorry for being such a Whiner, you were actaully really helpful :) | 12:42 |
| ioria | no problem | 12:42 |
| zteam | tomreyn, no problem man :) | 12:42 |
| tomreyn | jost: the messages shown upon login are generated by landscape-client(-common), i think | 12:42 |
| jost | tomreyn: yes, something like that - I want only the information about updates, and that can be generated using `/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable`. Or without --human-readable for easier scripting | 12:44 |
| tomreyn | jost: so script it then. ;) | 12:44 |
| zteam | ioria, I have been figting with gdm for about 6 months now,most of the time, it starts completly as expected, sometimes (about once i a week, I have to start it manually | 12:44 |
| zteam | :D | 12:45 |
| tomreyn | jost: you're just managing a smaller number of servers then? | 12:45 |
| jost | tomreyn: Yes, only one - no need for an actual monitoring system | 12:46 |
| tomreyn | ah ok | 12:46 |
| ioria | zteam, you can increase the debug level in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf | 12:47 |
| tomreyn | derjohn_was_occu: i think there was some breakage, it's being worked on, and there'll be new builds soon, probably today or tomorrow. | 12:48 |
| testubuntu | so live session means you select "try ubuntu" after booting from the installation usb right? | 12:49 |
| zteam | ioria, thanks, but last time I checked here, I had loads of dubious messages, in the syslog :) | 12:49 |
| testubuntu | then how do you remove all partitions and rewrite the GPT/MBR ? | 12:50 |
| ioria | zteam, use journalctl | 12:50 |
| ioria | testubuntu, gparted | 12:50 |
| zteam | ioria, will Google that, thank you :D | 12:51 |
| testubuntu | OerHeks, what did you mean start disks? | 12:52 |
| tomreyn | testubuntu: a standard installation ("remove all data and install ubuntu") will overwrite the partition table anyways. so you can just do that. | 12:52 |
| testubuntu | tomreyn does that rewrite the GPT? | 12:52 |
| testubuntu | or MBR | 12:52 |
| tomreyn | testubuntu: yes, GPT or MBR is the partition table. | 12:53 |
| zteam | testubuntu, do you want to get rid of Ubuntu in favor of Windows? or do you want to reinstall Ubuntu? | 12:53 |
| === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit | ||
| testubuntu | MBR is the master boot record | 12:53 |
| testubuntu | i want to format and get rid of everything | 12:53 |
| testubuntu | then install ubuntu | 12:53 |
| tomreyn | testubuntu: you're right, this wasn't an accurate answer, but the MBR would also be overwritten | 12:54 |
| zteam | testubuntu, if you chosse clean install it will erase all content of that Disk | 12:55 |
| tomreyn | that's also not perfectly accurate, but probably a good enough answer to testubuntu's supposed needs. | 12:56 |
| tomreyn | i asked this question earlier but testubuntu seems to have missed it (understandable, there were many replies): do you need to ensure the data on there is not (potentially) easily restorable (secure deletion) or do you just need to start from a clean slate? | 12:56 |
| testubuntu | tomreyn clean slate | 12:59 |
| testubuntu | i got this tower from a guy | 12:59 |
| testubuntu | there is ubuntu 18 already installed on it and his files are there | 12:59 |
| testubuntu | i don't want to restore | 12:59 |
| tomreyn | testubuntu: so the answer remains the same: just do a complete new installation | 13:00 |
| testubuntu | also it was suggested to delete the MBR to remove rootkits | 13:00 |
| dajju | hello i am trying to netinstall a debian system on my spare machine using my main machine which is UBUNTU. i followed this guide https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s05.en.html | 13:01 |
| tomreyn | testubuntu: if you select the installer option to remove ubuntu and all data and install then the boot loader will be replaced. | 13:01 |
| zteam | testubuntu, MBR is deleted automatically by Ubuntu if you choose a clean installation (as is all other cotent on that disk) :-) | 13:01 |
| dajju | yet i am not able to install | 13:02 |
| testubuntu | thanks | 13:02 |
| tomreyn | dajju: we only support ubuntu installations here. unless you need help with writing the iso file to an installer storage please aks in #debian or ##linux | 13:02 |
| dajju | ok | 13:03 |
| tomreyn | dajju: oh apparently you mean pxe boot, not debian netinstall (which is, first of all, an installer iso). if you are looking on setting up a pxe or tftpd server on ubuntu then #ubuntu is the right place. | 13:05 |
| dajju | yes pxeboot | 13:06 |
| dajju | i have accordingly install tftpd-hpa package for tftp server | 13:07 |
| zteam | BBL :) | 13:08 |
| === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit | ||
| === JanC is now known as Guest31310 | ||
| tomreyn | dajju: as the debian manual says (this should also apply to hosting these services on ubuntu) you'll need either a dhcp or bootp server, and a tftp server. | 13:10 |
| Jonopoly | omg | 13:11 |
| Jonopoly | So i had finally given up with ubuntu since it over heats thought i'd try last straw | 13:11 |
| dajju | it seems to run as it is required i.e. i can downlaod files from tftp server (as tested on different device). but when i boot my spare system it show an error that could not get boot file name. I have installed isc-dhcp-server for dhcp server and config according to manual | 13:11 |
| Jonopoly | and contact asus... their response was "We cannot advice for unsupported operating system, sorry" | 13:12 |
| Jonopoly | ...great! | 13:12 |
| tomreyn | dajju: i don't think you said which ubuntu version you're running, but an ubuntu server 18.04 LTS manual for configuring a dhcp server is available here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/dhcp.html | 13:14 |
| tomreyn | Jonopoly: that's a pity, but a pretty standard response. please also keep in mind this channel is just for ubuntu support, you can discuss things in #ubuntu-discuss, though. if you have more questions about configuring ubuntu on your system, ask away. | 13:15 |
| Jonopoly | Okay thanks tomreyn | 13:15 |
| Jonopoly | I don't think i can use it for now sadly | 13:16 |
| dajju | my ubuntu version is 19.04 | 13:16 |
| tomreyn | dajju: then it's https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/serverguide/dhcp.html | 13:16 |
| strk | the list of sound devices is empty, in pacontrol, what could have happened ? | 13:16 |
| strk | I suspect this has to do with using bluetooth but disabling bluetooth did not help | 13:16 |

| tomreyn | Jonopoly: i don't remember whether i tired to help you, yet, but feel free to post a log of booting ubuntu (journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999) and to sum up the issues you experience. | 13:18 |
| Jonopoly | i don't have laptop with me atm, pretending to work at work | 13:19 |
| tomreyn | strk: which ubuntu version are you on? | 13:19 |
| Jonopoly | tomreyn: i'll have to reinstall it again to try any safe distro you reccommend trying? | 13:19 |
| strk | Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS | 13:19 |
| tomreyn | dajju: test whether dhcp works, too. | 13:19 |
| strk | running mate desktop | 13:20 |
| strk | pavucontrol says it fails to connect to pulseaudio, so maybe that's the problem ? | 13:20 |
| strk | running `pulseaudio` errored with E: [pulseaudio] backend-ofono.c: Failed to register as a handsfree audio agent with ofono: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.ofono was not provided by any .service files | 13:21 |
| tomreyn | strk: i think this very message is normal, i also have it and sound and pavucontrol work fine. | 13:21 |
| tomreyn | on 18.04 standard ubuntu (gnome desktop) | 13:22 |
| strk | it happened yesterday as well, and was fixed by a reboot | 13:22 |
| strk | I think the only thing I started doing recently was using bluetooth network | 13:22 |
| strk | maybe something breaks when starting that | 13:22 |
| strk | I'd like to avoid a reboot though, but `rmmod snd*` seems to be a long way to go | 13:22 |
| tomreyn | strk: if so, you will be able to reproduce it easily, right? | 13:23 |
| strk | is there a command to "reset" the audio modules all at once ? | 13:23 |
| tomreyn | oh you dont want to reboot, then it'll be more difficult to reproduce. | 13:23 |
| strk | it could be, yes (reproduce) but it'd take a long time and yes, I'd like not to reboot | 13:23 |
| strk | if there's a way to "reset sound devices" I could try to reproduce with that | 13:24 |
| strk | ie: (1) disable bluetooth (2) reset (3) check (4) enable bluetooth (5) see if its broken again | 13:24 |
| tomreyn | see the wiki, it probably discusses it if such exists. | 13:24 |
| dajju | https://privatebin.net/?bc42dbb05672b59a#5DYcyTgaQCRcqGdKjKP2jv2mRoYVZwgDrmVKKMTwpGpB nmap output | 13:25 |
| tomreyn | dajju: where did you run nmap on? the ubuntu system you configured the server on, or a potential dhcp client? | 13:31 |
| dajju | the ubuntu system | 13:32 |
| dajju | tomreyn: the ubuntu system | 13:32 |
| tomreyn | dajju: you seem to have just copied and pasted the section which, in the debian manual, starts with: # The next paragraph needs to be modified to fit your case | 13:32 |
| tomreyn | does this configuration actually apply to your network? | 13:32 |
| dajju | tomreyn: it is pretty much one ubuntu system and the other spare system so i can config network to my requirement afaik | 13:34 |
| tomreyn | Jonopoly: i recommend ubuntu LTS releases, so ubuntu 18.04, using UEFI booting where possible, ideally with secure boot disabled (to reduce complexity, this can be enabled later). | 13:35 |
| tomreyn | 18.04.2 specifically | 13:35 |
| Jonopoly | Okay, i'll go with that, what's UEFI booting? | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | !uefi | 13:36 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 13:36 |
| tomreyn | dajju: but will the system receiving this network configuration be able to reach the tftp server from the ip address you are assigning to it? | 13:36 |
| dajju | it is basically my ubuntu system connected to the spare system via ethernet | 13:37 |
| Jonopoly | tomreyn: does it matter if i install it onto my external hdd.. | 13:37 |
| Jonopoly | as i have 1ssd (250gb) 1hdd (1tb) | 13:38 |
| Jonopoly | Windows is on ssd, install (dual boot) linux on hdd | 13:38 |
| strk | how do I start pulseaudio ? | 13:38 |
| tomreyn | dajju: if you look at the nmap output, a system contacting your dhcp server would be given an ip address of 192.168.1.201, become part of the 192.168.1.0-255 network (based on the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask), and be told to use 192.168.1.1 as a default gateway. | 13:38 |
| strk | ok, pulseaudio --start # fixed it | 13:39 |
| dajju | tomreyn: can it create a problem? | 13:40 |
| tomreyn | Jonopoly: if you want to dual boot, be sure to install ubuntu in the same installation mode as the other OS was installed in. so either (legacy) BIOS / CSM mode or UEFI mode. | 13:40 |
| tomreyn | dajju: i do not understand this question, can you rephrase it, please? | 13:41 |
| tomreyn | strk: so you should try to understand why it failed next, i guess. | 13:41 |
| tomreyn | Jonopoly: other than that you can install ubuntu to your external disk fine. keep in mind though, that if you'll be UEFI booting, the UEFI boot loader will need to be installed on the first (U)EFI system partition the firmware gets to see. which is probably where your other OS is currently installed on. again, this only applies if the other OS was installed / boots in UEFI mode. | 13:46 |
| tomreyn | dajju: what's the LAN IPv4 address(es) of your tftp and dhcp servers? | 13:47 |
| dajju | tomreyn: my ubuntu system is my dhcp server as well as tftp server ie 192.168.1.1 | 13:49 |
| tomreyn | dajju: okay if it really has this address assigned to its NIC then i'd indeed expect the configuration you have to work | 13:50 |
| tomreyn | just the lease times are extremely large | 13:50 |
| tomreyn | also "authoritative" may be wrong in the dhcp server context - something to check on the man page in case you haven't done so yet | 13:53 |
| strk | tomreyn: right, do you know where does pulseaudio writes his logs ? | 13:56 |
| strk | ok this is most likely it (syslog): | 13:58 |

| erichlf_ | And to enable persistence you need extra space passed the normal required space. | 14:12 |
| erichlf_ | Anyone know what the heck "mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device" means? | 14:13 |
| strk | anyway, that paste seems to confirm the bluetooth/pulseaudio connection | 14:15 |

| tuxinator | erchlf_ i would like to create some liveboot kiso system, so don't be persistent, reload everything on reboot | 14:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | tuxinator: Following the instructions for creating a USB drive will achieve your goal | 14:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | !usb | 14:23 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 14:23 |
| tuxinator | erichlf_ misstyped your name :D | 14:23 |
| tuxinator | pragmaticenigma: but the users will be able to save data on to that drive, right? | 14:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | tuxinator: Only if you create the drive with persistence | 14:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | tuxinator: what I was saying is the drive itself isn't readonly, the live instance doesn't allow writing to the USB drive unless persistence is enabled. | 14:25 |
| tuxinator | pragmaticenigma: ok i thought first it works like that, so you confirmed. thank you very much | 14:26 |

| CoolerZ | so i installed ubuntu recently | 14:30 |
| CoolerZ | on a new machine, now how do i make sure everything is up to date? | 14:30 |
| lordcirth | CoolerZ, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 14:30 |
| tomreyn | if it's a supported release, just use sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade or configure it / trigger it on the GUI. | 14:31 |
| CoolerZ | dist-upgrade ? | 14:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | CoolerZ: Look at "man apt" to see what the different options do. | 14:35 |
| tomreyn | CoolerZ: sudo apt-get dist-uoprade also works, if that was your question. | 14:35 |
| tomreyn | * dist-upgrade | 14:35 |
| tomreyn | but refresh the package list first | 14:36 |
| lordcirth | full-upgrade is an alias for dist-upgrade | 14:36 |
| CoolerZ | how is dist-upgrade different? | 14:36 |
| tomreyn | lordcirth: where do you see this? | 14:37 |
| CoolerZ | also if i lock the screen | 14:37 |
| CoolerZ | by clicking top right and clicking the lock icon, does that stop processes? | 14:37 |
| CoolerZ | or only suspend does that? | 14:38 |
| tomreyn | CoolerZ: my understanding is also that "sudo apt full-upgrade" does effectively the same thing as "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". | 14:38 |
| hggdh | CoolerZ: nothing stops on lock | 14:38 |
| === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit | ||
| netcrash | I wish proprietary software would have community channels like open source software has | 14:38 |
| lordcirth | tomreyn, well, apt-get had dist-upgrade, and apt's man page doesn't include dist-upgrade, only full-upgrade, but still accepts dist-upgrade and they appear to do the same thing. | 14:38 |
| hggdh | tomreyn: correct | 14:38 |
| CoolerZ | tomreyn, and full-upgrade upgrades packages even if they are not compatible? | 14:39 |
| tomreyn | lordcirth: yes, but the documentation is very lacking there, there's no statement anywhere that one is an alias of the other, from what i can tell, or that apt supports both. | 14:39 |
| CoolerZ | how is it different from sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:39 |
| tomreyn | (nor that apt-get supports both) | 14:40 |
| hggdh | CoolerZ: apt upgrade will not remove packages (even if necessary to perform the upgrade); (dist|full)-upgrade will | 14:40 |
| hggdh | CoolerZ: so, on apt upgrade, if it finds it would need to remove a package due to requirements on a new/updated one, then apt upgrade will NOT install this new/upgrade package | 14:41 |
| hggdh | tomreyn: yeah, I think that at the beginning apt would not support dist-upgrade, and someone complained (breaks compatibility with apt-get), so it was added (but not documented). I dimly remember 'apt dist-upgrade' failing years ago | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | hggdh: it could certainly benefit from more documentation. i think apt-(get) install package+ otherpackage- ^tasḱ is also lacking documentation. | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | oh i'm wrong there, sorry. -/+ are documented | 14:47 |
| hggdh | tomreyn: we actually could submit a patch to apt, updating the docs (as a bug in Debian, it such bug does not exist yet) | 14:51 |
| CoolerZ | weird | 14:52 |
| CoolerZ | after running sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade my firefox version is still 67.0.4 | 14:53 |
| CoolerZ | latest is 68.0 | 14:53 |
| hggdh | CoolerZ: do you have the -security repository enabled? | 14:55 |
| tomreyn | how do you tell which firefox version you have? | 14:56 |
| TabMasher | tomreyn: Help>About | 14:57 |
| tomreyn | CoolerZ: how do you tell which firefox version you have? | 14:59 |
| tomreyn | TabMasher: thanks, i meant to ask CoolerZ but forgot to point this out. | 14:59 |
| TabMasher | CoolerZ: upgrades don't necessarily update all software. Or the latest isn't stable enough. What is new in v68 that you need? | 15:02 |
| tomreyn | security patches | 15:02 |
| tomreyn | https://usn.ubuntu.com/4054-1/ | 15:03 |
| TabMasher | tomreyn: Fair enough. But I didn't think ubuntu had support for Firefox. | 15:05 |
| TabMasher | You kinda have to go get it on your own to update. | 15:06 |
| ryuo | not really... firefox is treated differently and is eventually updated to latest. | 15:06 |
| ryuo | it may be delayed, but it'll happen. | 15:06 |
| tomreyn | TabMasher: that's incorrect, ubuntu supports firefox. in contrary to most packages, it will provide the latest upstream releases and not backport security fixes. | 15:06 |
| TabMasher | ryuo: Yep. | 15:07 |
| TabMasher | tomreyn: I don't usually use Firefox, but I figured that was all Mozilla's domain. But you're right. | 15:10 |

| pragmaticenigma | CoolerZ: Please focus on your present issue. It's hard to for others to know who's helping who and who's trying to receive help | 15:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | CoolerZ: You need to make sure you software settings has the security software repository enabled. | 15:35 |
| CoolerZ | pragmaticenigma, oh sorry | 15:35 |
| CoolerZ | pragmaticenigma, where is that setting? | 15:35 |

| CoolerZ | important security updates is enabled under tab updates | 15:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | CoolerZ: And you are running Ubuntu 18.04? | 15:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | CoolerZ: You could try "sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" beyond that, I'm not sure why you are not seeing the update yet. Are all the check boxes check on taht screen? | 15:39 |
| CoolerZ | pragmaticenigma, yes 18.04 | 15:48 |
| CoolerZ | pragmaticenigma, yes all 3 checkboxes, important security, recommended and unsupported | 15:49 |

| pragmaticenigma | Why did you install the Oracle Java PPA? Is there something the OpenJDK that comes preinstalled with Ubuntu doesn't provide you? | 15:53 |
| CoolerZ | pragmaticenigma, there was some problem with updating i think | 16:01 |
| CoolerZ | i don't remember what the problem was | 16:02 |
| Antoine | Hello, I installed Ubuntu 19.04 on my laptop. I believe I didn't check the install additional non free drivers and programs stuff. I can't play videos on facebook. Firefox console says that there might be missing codecs for "video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42C01E", audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.5", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401E mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401F mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.640032 | 16:02 |
| Antoine | mp4a.40.2", video/mp4; codecs="avc1.640033 mp4a.40.2" 326857204905426" | 16:02 |
| Antoine | What would be the package I need to install? :) | 16:02 |
| CoolerZ | pragmaticenigma, also this https://bpaste.net/raw/P8hB | 16:02 |
| Antoine | ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 16:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | CoolerZ: In both pastes... refer to PPAs which are not supported here. Remove them and your machine will be able to properly update | 16:03 |
| CoolerZ | pragmaticenigma, how | 16:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | Antoine: That should install the missing codecs | 16:03 |
| Antoine | pragmaticenigma: Thanks :) | 16:04 |
| Antoine | pragmaticenigma: Would you know why I can play videos on facebook with my machine (xubuntu, thinkpad X200) while my girlfriend can't on her machine (ubuntu 19.04, acer laptop). I do not have "ubuntu-restricted-extras" installed (doesn't show as installed in `apt search ubunturestricted-extra` | 16:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | CoolerZ: "sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:daniel.pavel/solaar && sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:webupd8team/java" | 16:06 |
| Antoine | apt search ubuntu-restricted-extra | 16:07 |
| pragmaticenigma | Antoine: Look for xubuntu-restricted-extras | 16:07 |
| Antoine | pragmaticenigma: It doesn't show up at all | 16:08 |
| Antoine | I did `apt search xubuntu-restricted-extras` | 16:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | Antoine: I'm not certain then... could be that you installed the packages manually or had them provided through another means. *ubuntu-restricted-extras is just meta package that triggers a dependency for the other packages to be added | 16:09 |
| Antoine | pragmaticenigma: Ok so those nonfree codecs are definitely installed on my machine? | 16:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | Antoine: I don't know how to verify it, but I would assume if you have had no difficulty in playing back videos that the other machine does have difficulty, then I would assume that your machine has had the needed codecs installed at some point | 16:13 |
| Antoine | Makes sense :) | 16:14 |
| Antoine | All right, once more thanks a lot and bbye | 16:23 |

| tmlake | I'm having a video playback issue with Kodi 17.6 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. | 17:20 |
| tmlake | Everything was running fine until yesterday when I decided to apply the latest Ubuntu updates. when I try to play a video with Kodi it immediately crashes or plays with a totally black image. I don't remember exactly what were the updates, but I recall being Ubuntu base upgrades and graphics related (VDPAU, radeon, Gstreamer, X.Org, imagemagick, etc..). It was a small size update and not large driver files. | 17:20 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: trace back your dpkg logs, see what has been installed yesterday | 17:21 |
| tmlake | I'm afraid I'm not able to do it anymore. I've just reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch, the 18.04.2 LTS version available from the website and what I was using without issues. | 17:22 |
| tmlake | On the first launch I didn't upgrade anything from the huge list of available packages and just performed an installation of Kodi and its required packages. | 17:22 |
| tmlake | I still get the same window crash or black image on videos. | 17:22 |
| Bashing-om | tmlake: ^^ and If you boot an older kernel - is playback there functional ? | 17:22 |
| tmlake | No, I've tried that | 17:22 |
| tmlake | I've found one solution: If I install the latest open-source drivers that are not available on bionic repositories through the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers sudo apt-get update sudo apt upgrade The following packages will be upgraded: libdrm-amdgpu1 libdrm-common libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau2 libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 libegl-mesa0 libegl1-mesa libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa | 17:24 |
| tmlake | libglx-mesa0 libllvm8 libwayland-egl1-mesa libxatracker2 mesa-va-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers | 17:24 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: are other video's playable on vlc, youtube for example? | 17:25 |
| tmlake | However I'd prefer to use the default drivers available in the repository, that were released specifically optimized for Ubuntu 18 environment and made with hard effort. These oibaf drivers don't look good on my videos. | 17:26 |
| tmlake | Yes, everything's fine. I have VLC and SMPlayer with no issues. | 17:27 |
| tmlake | Kodi is important for my Ubuntu HTPC | 17:29 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: you have errors in logs on kodi? perhaps launch from terminal and journalctl -f , pastebin us your errors | 17:29 |
| tmlake | Right away https://paste.kodi.tv/qicihizoyu | 17:31 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: did you make a new ubuntu iso, or still use your old iso? kernel still says 4.15 | 17:32 |
| tmlake | I download the Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS iso from Ubuntu's download page | 17:33 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: the bionic iso should now give you the hwe kernel 4.18 | 17:34 |
| tmlake | Yes, I've checked it now and it's 4.18.0-25 | 17:35 |
| tmlake | I think this log comes from before I reinstalled Ubuntu. But with this newer kernel Kodi's not working | 17:35 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: ok right | 17:36 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: sudo lshw -C video, shows you driver= loaded? | 17:36 |
| tmlake | Yes, everything's right | 17:37 |

| tmlake | I've learn that recently, on this month, Ubuntu added the latest releases of the proprietary Nvidia driver through the regular Ubuntu updates channel. They are now available on the 'Additional Drivers' section. | 17:40 |
| tmlake | I'm pretty sure that small adjustments made for this upgrade messed with my Kodi playback, sent through that Ubuntu base updates I described. | 17:40 |
| tmlake | And it's not only for AMD, another user with nvidia graphics is having this same issue. | 17:40 |

| lotuspsychje | tmlake: when was the last time kodi worked? | 17:43 |

| lordcirth | ctjctj, you can change "127.0.1.1 hostname" to "realip hostname" in /etc/hosts | 18:04 |
| cas909 | @lordcirth guess so thanks. I am unable to sign up, as the password doesn't match. So I have tried resetting the password, and get an email to reset it. The email however, directs me to the sign up page instead. Since the user exists and the password doesn't work. Repeating this creates a loop where I keep requesting the reset email, but unable to | 18:05 |
| cas909 | really reset it. | 18:05 |
| lordcirth | cas909, this is https://login.ubuntu.com/ ? | 18:06 |
| cas909 | yup, thats the page | 18:06 |
| lordcirth | cas909, try the help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ISD | 18:06 |
| ctjctj | lordcirth, the name of the machine is "server13". The FQDN we are looking up is 'example.com'. 'example.com' isn't in /etc/hosts. The problem is that the apache config file for 'example.com' only listens on an explicit IP address (eth0). So when one of my dev's does a 'wget https://example.com/magic_url' it fails as the webserver isn't listening on 127.0.0.1. | 18:08 |
| cas909 | @lordcirth will email. Thanks! Further, is there a way to see all ubuntu related channels here? Have some queries about using ubuntu as guest as well. Would be great if I could seek some advice too. Thanks again | 18:09 |
| ctjctj | lordcirth, you might be exactly right. DNS is a CNAME. Let me check this out. | 18:09 |
| lordcirth | cas909, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 18:11 |
| ctjctj | lordcirth, thank you. The issue was one of my dev's thinks he's a system admin. He added an extra record to /etc/hosts that shouldn't have been there. Thus the CNAME resolved from /etc/hosts per nsswitch.conf files dns | 18:13 |

| cas909 | @sarnold yes, it says "could not save the file <file path>. Unexpected error. Error renaming temporary file. Text file busy"" | 18:35 |
| TJ- | cas909: you've got the same document open simultaneously in both OSs? | 18:36 |
| cas909 | nope closed it on the host | 18:36 |
| tmlake | <lotuspsychje> I tried on Kodi forum, Team-Kodi asked me to contact Ubuntu support | 18:36 |
| sarnold | cas909: weeeeird. That error normally only happens when you're working with an executable file that's currently being executed | 18:36 |
| sarnold | cas909: (it's also pretty hard to trigger; the only times I've seen that error message was when I was *trying* to see that error message) | 18:37 |
| TJ- | cas909: is it a .txt (text) file and what application are you using on Linux to edit it? | 18:37 |
| cas909 | sarnold, seems so. I am only testing with text files now, since I am only beginning to explore | 18:37 |
| sarnold | cas909: so .. my best guess is your windows VM system is doing something *strange* and *weird* and above all *wrong* to try to prevent files from being out of sync between the two systems | 18:38 |
| tmlake | ioria, the livecd gives me the same result. I get a full black image on the movies, but now at least I can see the subtitles | 18:38 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: kodi is on the ubuntu repos, im not sending you away, im trying to widen your options as other 'affected' users can speedup your bug solving | 18:38 |
| sarnold | cas909: (feel free to forget this immediately, but "text file busy" in this case doesn't mean text text, but *executable*. it's a long story.) | 18:38 |
| cas909 | just opened it directly. the ones i created from ubuntu, i did so with text editor | 18:38 |
| cas909 | @sarnold | 18:39 |
| tmlake | Everything plays well with SMplayer, though. | 18:39 |
| ctjctj | sarnold, try `fuser file_name` and see if there is another process accessing the file? I think that the fcntl() sys call has an option for locking a file, even if it is not an executable. | 18:40 |
| cas909 | @sarnold i may guess to, and have tried to configure the sharing settings on windows. from windows end, it seems to work fine though, could read and write, could see updates from ubuntu vm | 18:40 |
| cas909 | sarnold just not able to edit and save it from ubuntu vm | 18:40 |
| Mr-Potter | hello | 18:40 |
| sarnold | ctjctj: mandatory locking requires setting mount flags, and i'm not even sure it's still supported in our kernels | 18:41 |
| Mr-Potter | if i need support but I cannot find it in here where should I ask? | 18:41 |
| ctjctj | sarnold, tells you how long I've been programming. :-( | 18:41 |
| Mr-Potter | I take it the answer is a social channel e.g. ##chat or ##defocus | 18:41 |
| sarnold | ctjctj: aye :) | 18:41 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, hey sorry I think I missed you the other day | 18:41 |
| Mr-Potter | most likely the latter considering ##chat are quite strict | 18:41 |
| Mr-Potter | but anyway | 18:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Mr-Potter: what exactly are you asking us? | 18:41 |
| TJ- | cas909: sarnold was referring to this, it is a known long-standing bug since 2009: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/438 | 18:42 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: did you get your udev rule working OK? | 18:42 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, this is now how I set up CDEmu on any system... https://pastebin.com/raw/ukxbARUs | 18:42 |
| sarnold | TJ-: beautiful! | 18:42 |
| Mr-Potter | I'm not asking a specific question. Someone years ago accidentally discovered #defocus (now ##chat) by asking a support query here, not getting an answer in 30 minutes, trying -offtopic, getting told off and then refered to #defocus by "the powers that be" | 18:42 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, the 99-sw-cdemu.rules file it writes is based on how the existing udev rules which use UDISKS_IGNORE works | 18:42 |
| * Mr-Potter knows this is all off topic but anyway | 18:43 | |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, and yeah it works great, with one tiny exception we overlooked :) | 18:43 |
| lotuspsychje | !alis | Mr-Potter to find a channel | 18:43 |
| ubottu | Mr-Potter to find a channel: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" | 18:43 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: I'd make one change your rule - make ot more specific to the situation so it isn't being run for *all* kernel events, which it is now. See my suggestion, note the subsystem and action matches https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WznCRf6TrG/ | 18:44 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: what is the exception? | 18:44 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, well I've done it how it is done in... /lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks2.rules | 18:44 |
| Mr-Potter | !alis | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" | 18:45 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, e.g. that hides any partition called 'Recovery' as well as lots of other names which PC's might come with vendor-specific partitions | 18:45 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, only this matches on the unique vendor ID which my script changes in CDEmu | 18:45 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, the exception :) Well... In this particular case I'm mounting the Windows version of Colonization (a lovely 90's turn based 4x game) | 18:46 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: no, you missed out that file skips the rules at the top if it isn't a block device, with the SUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="udisks_probe_end" | 18:46 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: indeed it does, to prevent the GUI being inundated with confusing entries, but you can over-ride those rupes too with your own if that is what you want | 18:47 |
| Lantizia_ | but the .toc/.bin which is mounted - well it's multi-track, so Track 1 is data (and is properly ignored due to UDISKS_IGNORE) and doesn't get mounted nor show in the file manager | 18:47 |
| Lantizia_ | but gvfs-cdda kicks in and realises it can see an audio CD and does that silly fake filesystem full of non-existent .WAV files to represent the tracks | 18:47 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, ah ok I'll adjust the rule | 18:47 |
| tmlake | lotuspsychje, there's nobody online on #kodi but I left a message there. | 18:48 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: yeah saw your messages, its worth a try | 18:48 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: if you want to see partitions that are being set UDISKS_IGNORE=1 by 80-udisks then just add to your over-ride file the same rule from 80-udisks that sets UDISKS_IGNORE=0 :) As long as your udev rules file is processed after 80-udisks it'll work (and it will since yours is named 99- ) | 18:49 |
| Lantizia_ | yeah i know that bit - done stuff with udev before | 18:50 |
| tmlake | lotuspsychje: Of course, There's also #kodi-linux | 18:51 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, i've added the SUBSYSTEM=="block", bit in ... but it's the silly audio cd bit that's bothersome now lol | 18:53 |
| Lantizia_ | i'm guessing whatever does that - gvfs-cdda i guess, doesn't respect udisks_ignore ? | 18:53 |
| Lantizia_ | i could disable gvfs-cdda in general, but it'd be nice to only have it ignore devices with vendor SW-CDEmu (like the udisks ignore rule) | 18:54 |
| tmlake | Is there a log somewhere of recently official updates sent by the server? Maybe a way to the have the older state back | 18:54 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: check all the udev events with "udevadm monitor -k" when the 'audio' CD is connected, you should find some key there you can use to discriminate | 18:55 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, ooooh ok will look at that - didn't know there was a monitor | 18:56 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: ubuntu doesnt really support downgrading packages | 18:57 |
| lotuspsychje | tmlake: its reccomended to keep system up to date, and if bugs occur start testing from there | 18:57 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: also, I cannot find any file in the entire archive that matches "gvfs.*cdda" - do you know if it has a different filename or which package it is from? | 18:58 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: see "man udevadm" - there are a lot of useful commands and options | 18:58 |
| ioria | tmlake, can weknow your video card ? lspci -nnk | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D' | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:58 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-cdda | 18:58 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, i think it *may* be controlled from /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/cdda.mount | 18:59 |
| Lantizia_ | but i assume you've seen this before when an Audio CD (or in my case, mixed mode CD with Track 2 and up as audio) is inserted? | 18:59 |
| Lantizia_ | basically the file manager shows a filesystem which looks like it has files "Track 02.wav" "Track 03.wav" but they're actually fake files for non-audio-cd-aware software to play audio tracks as WAV files | 19:00 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: right, but that has "AutoMount=false" so if you've got it auto-mounting its being ignored | 19:00 |
| Lantizia_ | yeah don't know why it says that - the automounting is actually controlled from dconf | 19:01 |
| Lantizia_ | and turning it on/off applies to both data and audio tracks | 19:01 |
| tmlake | ioria, https://termbin.com/wmnh | 19:02 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: maybe the source-code will give some clues | 19:03 |
| ioria | tmlake, so the livecd test failed ? | 19:09 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, udevadm monitor -k doesn't show much | 19:10 |
| tmlake | ioria: Yes mate. While others players like SMP played a movie without problems, Kodi had the exact same result. A Crash and/or playing the video with a black screen | 19:10 |
| Lantizia_ | just states there was a change event for sr1 | 19:11 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: OK, so it's a source-code issue to chase, looking in daemon/mount.c (of the gvfs source) I see at line 555 mountable->automount = g_key_file_get_boolean (keyfile, "Mount", "AutoMount", NULL); | 19:12 |
| ioria | tmlake, can you try the ppa version ? | 19:12 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: and the prior code is opening a file which 'appears' to be the /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/... so either at run-time that path is changed or that file is never read | 19:13 |
| ioria | tmlake, First remove older versions of Kodi: | 19:14 |
| === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB | ||
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, i'm looking at dbus-monitor to see if it gives any clues | 19:14 |
| tmlake | ioria: I've already tried. The 17.6 version from kodi-stable/old doesn't and the newer 18.3 Leia version does. | 19:15 |
| tmlake | ioria: I really want the 17.6 from Ubuntu repos running. The video playback is different, I didn't like the newer version | 19:16 |
| ioria | tmlake, so, try the old verson of 18.04 (with kernel 4.15.0-54 not 4.18) | 19:17 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, oooh /org/gtk/Private/RemoteVolumeMonitor | 19:19 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, but that looks to be from org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor | 19:20 |
| tmlake | ioria, How can I do it? | 19:20 |
| ioria | tmlake, tmlake, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/ | 19:20 |
| Lantizia_ | so perhaps another udev rule is needed for the audio portion? how on earth that'd be stated I don't know | 19:20 |
| tmlake | ioria, it doesn't inform the kernel version, should I download the 18.0.1 or 18.0? | 19:22 |
| ioria | tmlake, try this ---> ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:23 |
| tmlake | ioria, all right, can I test it through a Livecd? | 19:26 |
| ioria | tmlake, sure | 19:26 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, you know I think it announces it twice | 19:29 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, and that udev rule only kicks in once | 19:29 |

| becool | packet_write_wait: Connection to 54.70.8.246 port 22: Broken pipe | 19:45 |
| becool | why do i get that when trying to sftp | 19:45 |
| becool | it happened after i did a chown -R /<sftpusershomedir> | 19:46 |
| uRock | becool, Check out https://askubuntu.com/questions/127369/how-to-prevent-write-failed-broken-pipe-on-ssh-connection | 19:55 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: easy enough to test if the rule is triggered twice: RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 1 >> /tmp/cdemu' " - then check the file, it should have a line with "1" for each invocation | 19:55 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: sorry, this would be better: RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/bin/date +%s >> /mtp/cdemu' " | 19:57 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: oops, and correct my typo /mtp/ should be /tmp/ | 20:00 |
| FriedBob | I've got a 1u half depth rack mount that has a GLK19264A-7T-1U built in to the case. I've running Ubuntu 18.04 Server (no X11), and would like to control the LCD and the 3 LEDs on it. | 20:02 |
| FriedBob | lcdproc doesn't seem to support this model - the display is garbled for any of the screens, and lcd4linux seems to be erroring out due to the lack of X11 libraries. What would my best option be for this? | 20:03 |
| sarnold | it might be worth installing the x11 libs to see if that does the trick | 20:03 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, yeah it's only triggered once | 20:04 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, i guess gvfs cdda just ignores the ignore rule :S | 20:04 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: that's all controlled centrally daemon/mount.c functions from maybe_autmount() | 20:10 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: so each gvfs backend is called only if mountable->automount == 1 | 20:11 |
| TJ- | Lantizia_: and that is set at gvfs start by reading all those .mount files | 20:11 |
| Lantizia_ | yeah which is turned on in dconf (as it is by default on the distro being installed) | 20:11 |
| Lantizia_ | but obviously it doesn't automount if it sees udisks_ignore | 20:11 |
| Lantizia_ | except cdda "filesystem" (he says using the quotes carefully :P) | 20:12 |
| TJ- | right, so can you change the automount option via dconf for type=cdda ? | 20:12 |
| Lantizia_ | TJ-, no its on or off for everything | 20:12 |
| Lantizia_ | and i wouldn't want it off for all cdda anyway - just this one cdemu drive | 20:12 |
| Lantizia_ | anyway gonna have to go till tomororow the other half is home | 20:13 |
| Lantizia_ | thanks for the help TJ- , any other thoughts just PM me :D your help has been very much appreciated :P always like a tough challenge | 20:13 |

| Rochvellon | I've got a problem. there is somewhere a trigger in my system (desktop, xfce, 16.04) that let crackle my audio periodically and if xfce4-volumed is active the osd volume appears then. what could it be? this behaviour appeared the first time as I pressed the volume up or down on my old keyboard but after changing the keyboard the trigger still exists | 20:36 |
| becool | uRock: the broken pipe message only appears after i chmod the authorized_keys file | 20:45 |
| Simdol | Anyway to fix this? apt-get install -f wants to get rid of libc-bin and I doubt that I want to do that | 20:46 |
| Simdol | http://dpaste.com/0XV2SXJ | 20:46 |
| becool | how do i add write permissions to a chroot sftp jailed users' home directory without breaking their ability to ssh? | 20:50 |
| becool | everytime i chown or chmod their home dir it breaks their ability to sftp | 20:50 |
| TJ- | Simdol: looks like its due to the system having packages from 14.04 on? (binutils 2.19-0ubuntu6) | 20:59 |
| groke | can u run ubuntu on freebsd? | 21:01 |
| tomreyn | groke: maybe in a VM. but that's more of a freebsd question than an ubuntu question. | 21:09 |
| swills | groke: yes | 21:09 |
| swills | i'm doing it in vbox now, i've done it in bhyve and pretty sure qemu works | 21:10 |
| Cheez | groke: do you mean "ubuntu userland with the freebsd kernel" like debian/kfreebsd? or do you mean literally a ubuntu vm on a freebsd host? | 21:10 |
| swills | i think i have used qemu in the paste, been a while | 21:10 |
| swills | past | 21:10 |
| groke | yes Cheez ubuntu userland with freebsd kernel | 21:18 |
| becool | got dc. so anyone know why sftp breaks everytime i chmod or chown the sftp user home dir? | 21:19 |
| becool | it remains broken even if i chown back to root | 21:19 |
| Cheez | i'm not sure if anyone has ever done a serious attempt at it, i've seen rumblings but the UbuntuBSD project died | 21:20 |
| groke | oh ok | 21:20 |
| groke | thats a shame | 21:20 |
| Cheez | https://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ debian had their attempt, too. but i'm not sure where that is, either | 21:20 |
| groke | ah | 21:20 |
| Cheez | https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntubsd/ - but as i said, i think it's a dead project | 21:21 |
| groke | is it too hard? | 21:22 |
| Cheez | i don't know, honestly. It's not my area. I just keep an eye on such things when they come up as i cut my teeth on freebsd years before i ever got into this linux thing | 21:23 |
| groke | i see | 21:24 |
| groke | well i guess ubuntu on linux is fine too | 21:24 |
