[00:19] hi, am i correct in the assumption that the ubuntu installer will be able to recreate the EFI partitions on a thinkpad if i wipe the disk? [00:20] all signs point to yes, but there are sometimes catches. [00:21] I believe that is the case as long as the partition table is GPT [00:24] which since it'll be a blank disk I'll be able to create such a table :) [00:25] Yup [00:25] The Debian install documentation goes into detail on it. [00:26] rk4, it does, make sure you choose GPT [00:26] !uefi [00:26] 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 [00:30] interesting, arch wiki mentions 'Lenovo T480 is tied in with Microsoft and will only boot to Windows EFI file or default EFI fallback file. Verified on firmware version 1.14. [00:36] "Secure boot is often enabled by default on systems that come preinstalled with a 64-bit version of Windows 8 and there is unfortunately no standard way to disable it in the UEFI setup" [00:37] That could be a problem. [00:37] secureboot is not a problem, fastboot is [00:52] Hi trying to install ubuntu server and it does not recognise my wifi card. This is fine, because i can ssh to it later and configure it, but I cannot proceed with the install without co figuring the network. Is there a way to bypass this? [00:57] Oderus: is your goal to install without a network at all? [00:58] sarnold, for my no [01:02] Sarnold: preferably not [01:05] Oderus: there's two different server installers; if one forces you to configure a network before continuing, the other one may work: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installation.html [01:05] the debian-installer option has been around for a lot longer, it's probably more amenable to installing without network [01:05] Sarnold: okay thanks I will try that. Appreciate it [01:16] Sarnold: id like to install with network, but it does not recognise my wifi card at lease the live iso disnt [01:17] Sarnold: about to try the other version [01:17] Oderus: hmm. you said "bypass" earlier so I assumed you wanted to skip configuring the network entirelyu.. === zbenjamin is now known as Guest25524 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:35] Sarnold: sorry my client crahed [01:36] Oderus: the last was: < Oderus> Sarnold: about to try the other version < sarnold> Oderus: hmm. you said "bypass" earlier so I assumed you wanted to skip configuring the network entirelyu..

I know I should backup everything (including the DB) before upgrading, but is it pretty safe to make the upgrade to 18.04 LTS, under these circumstances. Trying to avoid much downtime, if possible. [02:41] BuffaloWingVapor: I think that's going from php7.0 to php7.2; make sure your applications run on the newer php first [02:42] BuffaloWingVapor: most upgrades ought to go smoothly by now [02:45] Sarnold: i think i have my wifi card selected but I need to figure out how to connect to a wireleaa network from command line now heh [02:46] Oderus: why not use a wired nic? [02:46] Sarnold: i dont have a long enough ethernet cable [02:46] ahhhhhh. dang :/ [02:46] Oderus: iwlist, iwconfig, wpa_supplicant may all help [02:47] Oderus: nm-cli or nmcli isn't too terrible if you'd rather go the network-manager route, but .. I've never used it to *create* settings, only ever switch between them [02:47] Sarnold ok great. Unsure what all is installed, and if it isnt, i will have to chroot [02:48] Sarnold: at least I am having a great time doing it :) [02:49] Oderus: haha, nice :D [02:52] Sarnold: taking a break now. I wonder if nmcli is a default package in 18.04.2 server [02:52] @sarnold: thx. I'll ck my php version. [02:52] Oderus: almost certainly not, networkmanage risn't on the server discs [03:15] maybe the config can be set in netplan [03:21] what's the replacement for ifconfig anyway? i can't seem to figure out how to use command line to give me my IP and router [03:21] ip [03:22] Gallomimia, ip addr will show ip address; ip route will show routing ... [03:22] okay thanks. i'm still pretty lost about that command [03:38] I've installed ubuntu server 18.04 on a pi, and followed this guide to get pi camera tools installed. ( https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/37359/how-to-use-raspistill-on-ubuntu ) However, the files it installed in /opt/vc/bin are 32 bit, and the pi is 64 bit, which leads to the OS saying the file isn't there. [03:38] I've tried to follow this post to add support for 32 bit binaries, but most of the packages don't exist. Anyone know of a more up-to-date guide for that compatibility? https://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit [03:48] Hi, I'm running a radeon rx 580 card hdmi to my monitor, when I run the live usb (for lubuntu lxde or lxqt), at 1920x1080 I can't see the full screen. if I go the next size lower I can see everything, is this a driver problem? #lubuntu suggested I ask here.

How do I edit the boot parameters on the installed partition from the live cd?

[05:29] Gambit-, you have to mount --bind in /proc /sys /dev and something else. i forget exactly.... i'm going to give it a go tomorrow [05:30] Got it working [05:30] turned out to be sys, dev, and umount /cow [05:30] that let me do a successful chroot [05:46] my .profile changes are not reflecting [05:46] what do i do [05:46] usually close terminal and open a new one is enough [05:47] i restarted too [05:47] https://paste.gnome.org/p69lepmkq [05:47] all these lines are reflected [05:48] # This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login [05:50] how to know that process running from which directory? [05:51] thanks Gallomimia [05:51] that must be the case [05:52] chieta, there's two ways to look into that. using the command "which" will tell you what process will run if you call a command with no path. the ps command also gives options for looking up the command path of a running process. [05:52] for example. ps -ax | less [05:53] (the path is truncated if you don't pipe it to something) [06:01] yeians, yeis === sunrunner20_ is now known as sunrunner20 [06:34] hi.

I am comfortable and happy with ubuntu in ever way apart from one. There are no good web panels for it [07:30] Which version of Mesa will Eoan be released with? [07:34] Is there a simple and nice open source web panel out there for ubuntu? [07:36] I have been using ubuntu since the very early versions. I don't feel comfortable moving away from the distro. [07:36] tomreyn: it is not fresh installation, it was working without problem. it is ubuntu 18.04 and installed via virtualbox. it uses vmware svga II adapter [07:40] emOne: web panel? [07:41] Ben64: a web panel is a website that lets you configure important settings of your server [07:42] it also shows you an overview of important server statistics like cpu load, cpu temperature and other information [07:42] Ubuntu doesn't come with one by default === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit [07:44] emOne: well, you could learn how to configure things without one [07:44] and information is available through landscape, or htop or something like that [07:46] Ben64: Thank you. I have always been using Terminal only to set things up. This time around I am looking for something more automated [08:00] Hello, my nautilus doesn't start anymore. I just tried to start it as sudo nautilus, yet doesn't work. Did a $killall nautilus and tried to start again, yet doesn't work. Any help? [08:00] ramsub07: errors on launching? [08:00] lotuspsychje: precisely [08:01] ramsub07: wich ones please, can you pastebin to the channel? wich ubuntu version? [08:01] anyone got rar2fs working on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, and like to share how to install it, I've tried various guides without success [08:01] lotuspsychje: Linux la-fabrica 4.15.0-54-generic #58~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 24 13:21:41 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [08:02] (pasted directly as it's just a line) [08:03] ramsub07, i think he meant if nautilus displays any errors when you start it from the terminal. [08:03] ramsub07: journalctl -f and launch nautilus from terminal please, then pastebin us the output of the errors you get [08:04] akem-lnvo: unfortunately no errors [08:05] it just.... hangs in when i type nautilus on my termina [08:05] lotuspsychje: the journalctl -f command doesn't seem to stop execution. [08:06] did you mean I should open in another tty? [08:06] ramsub07: one terminal journal and one other terminal launch nautilus yes [08:08] lotuspsychje: nothing at all again in the window where I try to open nautilus [08:09] ...and finally it opens after approx a minute since i entered the command [08:09] (and still i could see "loading" icon at the bottom) [08:10] ramsub07: try creating another user and test nautilus from there [08:10] lotuspsychje: http://dpaste.com/3568SVE the log from terminal [08:13] lotuspsychje: from another user : http://dpaste.com/0S35B7T (I didn't log my current session off, just did an su) [08:14] ramsub07: are you on ubuntu 16.04 with unity? [08:14] lotuspsychje: yes [08:15] i feel it is unlikely to work at all under any circumstances if you switch-user to another user with no permissions to interact with your desktop environment [08:15] by design. not a bug [08:15] the suggestion was to try it in another user's login. [08:16] lock the screen and log in as if someone else was using the computer [08:33] oh good you came back ramsub07 [08:35] thanks for the help, the install went fine :). ubuntu did manage to recreate all the efi partition contents fine (disk was zeroed with blkdiscard). only thing i had to do was delete old entries in the nvram with efibootmgr [08:48] Gallomimia: had to restart my system. everything is fine now. the one solution to solve them all! [08:51] i understood it wasn't something to do with nautilus in itself, but was a problem with some file system === imsurit_ofc is now known as imsurit [09:26] I'm going to install an extra user in ubuntu using the shell, but i want to remain as close as possible to the way a user was installed during the installation of bionic [09:26] What should i use ? useradd or adduser ? and with which options ? [09:27] (I'll handle groups later manually in /etc/group), but i want a similar homedir and things like that [09:27] adduser is an interactive tool that asks you questions - might be more convenient [09:28] Will it do 'too much' ? [09:28] or the better question, is this how the installer did it ? [09:29] probably? creating a user is not much more than adding an entry in the /etc/{passwd,shadow} files, and maybe creating a home directory [09:29] (plus a user-specific group and adding the user there) [09:29] any plans to upgrade lm-sensors to 3.5 for 18.04? (i kinda want 3.5's new `--json` argument) [09:30] Hi.. I have a 18.04.2 server on which I am trying to install libssl1.0 [09:30] garo: the one thing I know that adduser does additionaly is to populate the comments field with information like real name, phone number and whatnot [09:30] But turns out installing libssl1.0.0 package is actually installing openssl 1.1 [09:30] k, thanks [09:30] Here is what I see : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Hn3gZvkGxP/ [09:31] Can I install openssl 1.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 at all? [09:31] If you want a specifc version you can use the '=version' option [09:32] Take a look in packages.ubuntu.org if the version you want is available [09:33] Ok.. rephrasing the question. This is the package I am talking about : https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libssl1.0.0 - Does this have openssl 1.0 or openssl 1.1 ? [09:33] brahmana: libssl is just the library portion of openssl, and 1.0 only exists for compatibility reasons for outdated software - openssl (the command line tool) uses libssl 1.1 [09:34] so you can have both libssl 1.0 and 1.1 installed, but the `openssl` command uses 1.1 [09:34] ayekat : makes sense. Thank you. sudo apt-cache policy libssl1.1 confirms what you are saying [09:35] ayekat : Next question is probably more applicable to the application I am building (Ruby 2.2.10), nevertheless : How do I specify which of the libssl versions has to be used? [09:36] i.e. while building [09:37] brahmana: probably depends on what the ruby package/bundle/whatever is using - but I'd be surprised if the Ruby bindings for OpenSSL still require 1.0 [09:38] ayekat: This is an older version of Ruby (2.2.10). Ruby before 2.4 doesn't work with openssl 1.1. openssl 1.0 is needed for those versions. [09:39] ah, I see [09:39] I'm not familiar enough with Ruby to help, though :-/ (I don't know how it interacts with OpenSSL, that is) [09:39] garo: when the installer creates a user, it also adds it to the sudo group, since it's the first, and the administrative user. [09:43] garo: other than that i agree that adduser creates a standard user (using a UID in the proper human user range, i.e. a non system user UID) and a group, and adds the user to this group, and makes it his primary group, creates a home directory, copies the files from /etc/skel to it, and asks for the details (and some others) the installer would also prompt for (you could skip entering those using --gecos '' ). [09:44] ayekat : No worries. You have been very helpful. Thank you. [09:45] brahmana: if you find out that a version of ruby available in ubuntu does not work with the (only?) ubuntu packaged libssl-dev version available on this same ubuntu release, i'd consider this a bug. (i'm not sure that's what you're seeing, though). [09:46] tomreyn: I am not installing Ruby from a ubuntu package. I am building from the source. [09:46] i see, you're on your own then, i'm afraid (as you probably assumed). [09:47] !latest | hans_ [09:47] hans_: 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. [09:49] hans_: you can download the latest sensors-detect script from hgroeckx' git repo, though, often this already helps with making sensors work on newer platforms. [09:50] tomreyn : I know. However in this case I am actually looking for an older version than the one available with ubuntu packages.. :-) [09:50] hey everyone, i am trying to mount an iso on ubu 18.0 and it keeps giving me that error can't read superblock on /dev/loop0 [09:50] oh sorry .. the latest message was meant for someone else.. !! [09:50] while on ubun 16.04, the exact same iso gets mounted just fine [09:51] any idea what could be wrong? [09:52] hans_: i meant to write groeck's, but the repository is actually runs under the lm-sensors name (and there are other contributors) https://github.com/lm-sensors/lm-sensors [09:52] ayekat / tomreyn : libssl1.0 and libssl1.1 - both packages seem to be present. However libssl1.0-dev exists but libssl1.1-dev does not. Why so? [09:54] brahmana: i'm not sure. what i know is that openssl 1.1 was introduced in 18.04.2 post-release to support TLSv1.3 in bionic. [09:54] ok.. that is mostly taken care by the unnumbered libssl-dev package [09:54] anyone have any clue..? [09:54] Yup.. https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libssl-dev - that is the dev package for libssl 1.1 [09:55] i think it's the default now, so this would make sense [09:55] it's weird that libssl1.1 is numbered at all [09:56] I can see why one would number 1.0, as it's for compatibility, but... why number the default version? [09:56] auser0: how are you mounting it exactly, which graphical desktop (or server?) are you running there? [10:00] auser0: i suspect it may just be a permission / file system mounting issue. [10:00] ty tomreyn [10:00] somehow now i checked the iso and it has some problem but oddly when mounting it in ubu 16, it showed no errors [10:00] but the iso itself is corrupted, i can confirm that now [10:01] ah, well, that'd explain it, i guess. [10:02] maybe the newer loop mount utility now does more thorough sanity checks. [10:03] !YY.MM | auser0: a side note (for next time) [10:03] auser0: a side note (for next time): Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [10:04] ty tomreyn [10:04] you're welcome. [10:07] hey I think I'm dealing with a very oddly behaving APT repository here... or just odd apt error messages... [10:08] if I add in 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Apps:/pidgin-sipe/xUbuntu_18.04/ /' I get... Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. [10:08] so fine I then add [trusted=yes] [10:09] then i get The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 65A86F31629FF0C2 [10:09] so fine I grab that via keyserver.ubuntu.com [10:10] and I get The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 65A86F31629FF0C2 GNOME OBS Project D3CAF5135D0A8F97AB539ED365A86F31629FF0C2 [10:10] so OK I'll not grab it from the keyserver and instead grab it from the repo's own 'Release.key' file instead (making sure to delete the existing key i imported first) [10:11] and I'm finally left with...

Now in Budgie I want to do the same but in settings > keyboard I can't use that key as a shortcut. printscreen is recognized though [11:31] in dejadup, if you change the folder in storage location when the storage location is an external drive, it doesnt change the folder and just uses the hostname? Any solutions?? [12:06] Vonor: maybe try asking in #ubuntu-budgie as well [12:08] Hi folks [12:13] Hi, I'm running a bash script with -v. It's outputting each command, which is great, but apparently it's not outputting the outputs of the commands. It is outputting their stderr messages though. [12:14] How can I get the standard output of the commands output? [12:20] hi BluesKaj. [12:20] amcsi: does your script redirect the output? Because it works for me: $ bash -v -c 'echo test' [12:20] echo test [12:20] test [12:21] hi EoflaOEViceCity [12:24] I seem to be having an issue with 19.04 where the HDMI audio won't work as the configuration menus say the cable is unplugged - meanwhile the HDMI video is working perfectly fine [12:25] pcworld, thanks. The situation is a bit complicated [12:25] I'll mess around some more [12:31] jetsaredim, using a pcie gpu, or onboard? [12:34] BluesKaj onboard [12:35] so the HDMI audio device doesn't even show up in the main sound control settings, but if i install pavucontrol I can see the device but it's saying the cable is unplugged [12:35] which I guess is why its not listed in the main settings [12:37] jetsaredim, open alsamixer and make sure your automute is disabled and s/pdif is set to 00 not mute MM [12:39] BluesKaj S/PDIF is 00, and I just disabled Auto-Mute but that doesn't seem to have changed the unplugged status [12:43] jetsaredim, what audio chip does alsamixer show in the upper left? [12:43] hello! [12:45] BluesKaj I think that's part of the issue. It's showing Realtek ALC892, but it should be an ATI Radeon-based chip (onboard). If I change the card to the ATI card (ATI RS690/780 HDMI) the only option I get is the S/PDIF. There's no other sound settings in alsacontrol shown. [12:45] I need help with a little bash script i'm trying to get working. [12:47] s/pdif connects the audio thru your hdmi cable, jetsaredim [12:49] BluesKaj right but there's no volume controls being shown or anything when I switch to that card in alsacontrol - just allows me to mute/unmute the S/PDIF - nothing else [12:49] Evil-Bob post the details [12:50] ok well don't kick me for flooding lol [12:50] use a paste [12:50] Evil-Bob paste.ubuntu.com [12:50] Evil-Bob https://paste.ubuntu.com === lotus|i5 is now known as lotuspsychje [12:53] so i have a ds4 controller hooked up when i turn it on if functions like a mouse that's cool i want that some times. when i play for a while and the battery dies and i plug it in it changes id's on xinput. [12:53] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jXs5DC8kHy/ [12:54] jetsaredim, run lsmod | grep snd and pastebin the result [12:55] heres what i have so far and it works i have another script that is the same thing that uses device='Sony Interactive Entertainment Wireless Controller' when plugged in that works two but can i do it with one file? [13:08] any ideas jetsaredim? [13:11] Evil-Bob so you're just using this to toggle on/off? [13:12] yes sir and it works! but i want to toggle on and off both states [13:13] both devices you mean? [13:13] what if they are different states? [13:13] just create a wrapper script that calls both [13:13] or just put both sets of code in the same file and use device1/device2 [13:14] BluesKaj https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YHG4c69QGb [13:16] ok... so like this device1='Wireless Controller' [13:17] looks like you have a dedicated pcie audio card, jetsaredim? [13:18] BluesKaj its an onboard ATI Radeon card [13:18] odd [13:19] jetsaredim, try a reboot to see if the hdmi shows up, now that it's connected [13:20] BluesKaj it was never not connected [13:20] I'm suspecting the mobo might be going bad at this point [13:20] hmm [13:21] jetsaredim: you dualboot or singleboot ubuntu? [13:21] lotuspsychje single [13:21] I haven't used windows for like 15+ years [13:21] thankfully [13:21] jetsaredim: can you pastebin your full dmesg please, maybe we can find something there [13:23] getting a ton of "HDMI ATI/AMD: no speaker allocation for ELD" messages in dmesg [13:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bxkK99WMYp/ [13:26] jetsaredim: we had a user with kodi issues on ati last night, there were updates yesterday on amd packages right? [13:27] i see a couple udev updates [13:27] is it in proposed or stable? [13:27] jetsaredim, i'd assume they are different states. it's the same piece of hardware just with a usb cable plugged in [13:31] jetsaredim: an old bug about here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1371919 [13:31] Launchpad bug 1371919 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "kern.log flooded with "HDMI ATI/AMD: no speaker allocation for ELD"" [Undecided,Confirmed] [13:33] i guess i can try a different cable [13:39] whats the difference btw xserver-xorg-video-intel and xserver-xorg-video-intel-hwe ? [13:39] cjoke: hwe is for the hwe kernel [13:40] !hwe | cjoke [13:40] cjoke: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [13:40] my mouse/pointer kind of jitters in place when I have some light pressure over the touchpad - how do I troubleshoot it? [13:40] cjoke: wich ubuntu version/kernel are you on? [13:40] ok so i've made a breakthrough i think. when i turn the controller on THEN plug it in it stays Wireless Controller. instead of Sony Interactive Entertainment Wireless Controller [13:41] lotuspsychje: 4.15.0-54-lowlatency #58-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT [13:41] and i can toggle it with my first script [13:41] cjoke: ubuntu studio 18.04? [13:41] yes [13:42] <_RadioHead> tomreyn, i found what is blocking samba , [13:42] cjoke: ok right now you still on 18.04 start kernel, its your choice if you move towards 4.18 HWE [13:42] <_RadioHead> after installing virtualmin nobody cant conect to samba shares [13:43] _RadioHead: you solved it? [13:43] <_RadioHead> lotuspsychje, not yet , just found what is blocking [13:44] ah kk [13:44] lotuspsychje: I had some tearing when moving windows around, but did put a 20-intel.conf in xorg.conf.d with Option TearFree = "1" seems too fixed problem, I have been afk for some years, and just want to check if im missing something :) [13:44] hi [13:44] _RadioHead: think tomreyn is afk atm, i will ping him for you when he returns [13:45] <_RadioHead> lotuspsychje, nah no prob. i thnik that firewalld is blocking smb ports [13:45] I need software that is simular to neodownloader for kubuntu [13:45] neodownloader is not the same as grep or curl [13:46] works differently [13:46] lotuspsychje: but , boot is slow, I have a 256GB SSD , its about 15sec boot time after bios, guess, I have to read some bootlogs. Thanks for response :) [13:46] in how they detect images [13:46] cjoke: ssd boot speed will be alot faster on 4.18 kernel, i tested that, but i had to fresh install here [13:46] lotuspsychje there's gotta be something up with my mobo as I rebooted and now I have no networking [13:47] jetsaredim: i was thinking uefi, when i asked if you dualboot, as uefi settings can influence, graphics, network and sound for example [13:47] lotuspsychje pretty sure my mobo pre-dates uefi [13:47] jetsaredim: ah allright [13:48] anyone here [13:48] !patience | user_name [13:48] user_name: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [13:49] user_name: try #ubuntu-offtopic [13:49] -_- literally the opposite of patience [13:49] doesn't one of the 1181 users know how to help me [13:49] user_name: also, grep and curl are 2 completely different applications that are nothing alike [13:49] cjoke: feel free to discuss in #ubuntu-discuss about it [13:49] user_name: you're asking for recommendations for software. This is a support channel. [13:50] user_name, focus your query. details about the end goal would help. finally, be patient or be ignored. [13:50] I need to detect and download images from web pages [13:51] but cant code and some pages use lazy scrolling which breaks just about every image crawler ive tried [13:52] user_name: your issue is beyond the scope of this channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic [13:52] except for neodownloader maybe, I paid for it to get around the file restricton trailversion limit but it sucked. so yesterday it got an update [13:52] but now you gotta pay for that as well [13:53] and im stuck with the trail of the new update cause it replaced the full version of the older version [13:59] so yeah i'm stuck. i could use two separate bash scripts but that's ugly [13:59] <_RadioHead> lotuspsychje, i found solution :) [14:00] _RadioHead: feel free to feedback [14:00] <_RadioHead> i just added samba in allow default firewalld list :) [14:00] ok tnx _RadioHead [14:01] no other channel can help me. there are channels and they are all dead [14:01] I know this channel can [14:01] user_name: did you see the channel reccomends voluntteers did for you? [14:02] yes and I must be realistic though [14:02] user_name: #ubuntu-offtopic is a pretty active channel, you just need to patient a bit === Wryhder is now known as Lucas_Gray [14:31] sooo... has there been any scuttle about an update to 18.04 breaking kodi? C [14:32] Mead: why, are you experiencing errors? [14:32] Mead, I believe someone was here yesterday with a kodi issue [14:33] Mead: also, there is #kodi [14:34] lotuspsychje: yes, I just updated my lubuntu 18.04 system and now kodi simply closes (crashes?) when I attempt to play a video file [14:34] Mead: yes, as lordcirth we had a user with same symptons yesterday [14:35] Mead: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kodi/+bug/1836828 [14:35] Launchpad bug 1836828 in kodi (Ubuntu) "Kodi crashes when trying to play any video" [Undecided,New] [14:35] did he say what version of kodi he was using? [14:36] Mead: 17.6 [14:37] yup, I'm using the same version [14:38] Mead: if you feel the same bug occurs to you, please add yourself affected ontop [14:41] If I recall correctly, the person having the issue yesterday said the folks at #kodi didn't want to help him due to the version being older than their current one. [14:42] !latest | uRock [14:42] uRock: 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. [14:42] I know. Just mentioning that they brushed him off. [14:46] Yeah, I've been running Kodi installed from the Kodi repo instead of the ubuntu repo for a couple years now. I butted heads with them when Leia rolled out and didn't work for me, although someone helped me downgrade back to krypton and uninstall the repo so that it wouldn't upgrade back to Leia when I ran apt upgrade [14:46] kool [14:47] reading through the bug report it looks like I've got the exact same problem [14:47] Mead: affect yourself to the bug then, that will speed up attention to the bug [14:49] yeah, I'll do that. working doing it. I don't think I've used launchpad.net before so there is a slight learning curve going on. === kuanyui_ is now known as sarashina [14:56] Hi, I have issues with ntp, probably connectivity [14:56] # ntpq -p [14:56] ntpq: write to localhost failed: Operation not permitted [14:56] I added the needed INPUT and OUTPUT rules in iptables [14:57] I installed Ubuntu 19.04 on my HP Pavilion x360 14-dh0003tx one month ago, everything went good, but the built-in speaker goes no sound after a system update (I guess). How do I solve this? [14:57] I've tested on Windows 10, hardware has no problem [14:57] sarashina, Is it still selected in Settings > Sound [14:58] There's no other device to choose except for "built-in" [14:58] lotuspsychje: I added myself to the affected list, what else can I do to contribute to the bug issue? [14:59] It's Ubuntu 14.04. Can someone please guide me what to check? [15:00] Mead: you can also test things, reproduce situations and keep that bug updated [15:00] Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer supported [15:01] uRock: ok, but I believe that this issue with ntp isn't related to the Ubuntu version [15:01] MeiR: install a supported version, then we can troubleshoot [15:02] MeiR: also, you sure you don't need sudo? [15:02] leftyfb: it's a VPS on DO of a production website with lots of dependencies [15:02] leftyfb, I was starting to think the same thing [15:02] leftyfb: it's from root user, same results also with "sudo" [15:03] MeiR: ok, so don't test on production [15:04] it's a wider issue. we have PHP app that uses Amazon AWS API, and we suddenly started receiving this error today: [15:04] AWS was not able to validate the provided access credentials [15:04] after some googling and reading, I found out that the possible cause can be unsynced server clock [15:05] MeiR, did you allow port 123 for tcp and udp? [15:05] then I checked "timedatectl status" and saw that there's 5 minues diff b/w universal and RTC time [15:05] Universal time: Thu 2019-07-18 14:58:05 UTC [15:05] RTC time: Thu 2019-07-18 14:53:03 [15:05] https://community.hpe.com/t5/Networking/Help-ntpq-write-to-localhost-failed-Operation-not-permitted/td-p/2949822#.XTCKXnVKjjs [15:05] MeiR: contact DO/run a supported version of Ubuntu [15:06] and from what I saw, Amazon can be sensitive even to 2 mins diff [15:07] leftyfb we already tried to upgrade to 16.04 last year with no success, and we cannot afford any long maintenance time [15:07] MeiR: there are proper ways to do system administration. [15:08] uRock: as of iptables, I grabbed the ruled from here: https://ixnfo.com/en/iptables-rules-for-ntp-and-sntp.html [15:08] MeiR: either way, you are running an unsupported version of Ubuntu [15:08] MeiR: or you could pay for ESR and get support for it through Canonical [15:08] -A OUTPUT -p udp -m udp -m multiport --dports 123 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT [15:08] -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT [15:08] leftyfb, I see your point, but I truly believe this has nothing to do with the branch version [15:09] MeiR: a good way to test is to run 16.04 on a test environment and try the same setup [15:09] MeiR, allow tcp also [15:09] MeiR: you know, like sysadmins typically do [15:10] MeiR: also, if you feel it's an iptables issue, flush iptables and test. Again, not in production [15:10] Unfortunately, I ain't a sysadmin. Just a PHP developer who is new to the linux world [15:11] There's no easy way for me to duplicate the enviroment [15:11] MeiR: ok, so maybe you should contact your organizations sysadmin? [15:12] heh leftyfb, we're a small business with about 10 workers. There was a CTO which deployed the enviroment in the past, but he left few months ago [15:13] I was hired last year, and got the responsibilty for that. Therefore maintain the servers as much as I can [15:13] after the AWS SDK issue today, I found out that there's no proper time sync [15:14] timedatectl showed "NTP enabled: yes" but "NTP synchronized: no" [15:14]
