[00:06] any ideas how to fix on xenial, "Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1': timed out" and "systemd-logind.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'."? the graphical session doesn't start anymore [00:07] oh I see a permissions error [00:10] ~/.cache/dconf was owned by root for unknown reasons. I removed it, so hopefully dbus can recreate it [00:26] I'm puzzled. Upgraded 18.10 to 19.04, turned the desktop icons back on via gnome-tweaks. Right-clicking on a desktop icon that's a .desktop file, brings up the menu fine. [00:27] When I select "Properties" that window comes up. If I select "Permissions" tab, those get shown to me, then the window closes 3 seconds later without me doing anything. What gives? [00:28] how do I even get logs for "systemd-logind.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'."? "journalctl --unit systemd-logind.service" has no more details either [01:05] Hello, I'm trying to add this ppa > sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds but I'm getting this error > https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/5ZWYBJN6dZ/ any ideas what's going on here? === SinaCutie is now known as siina [01:07] FWIW, I'm trying to get wine setup so I can install SketchUp Make 2016 [01:10] seriously fuck the police!!

I did `apt-get install sagemath' which installed `sagemath-jupyter' and then I tried to run `$ jupyter notebook' but it gives me an error.

[07:29] ec0 ^ [07:30] nope, not unless you use iptables-persistent package and follow the instructions to get /etc/iptables/rules.v4 and rules.v6 populated [07:30] I typically use iptables-persistent over ufw [07:30] so ufw remains persistent after reboot? [07:30] then you can do iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4 and ip6tables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v6 [07:31] yep, ufw is persistent by default [07:31] sure [07:38] Hi, I'm using 18.04 with an Intel 7260 bluetooth and wifi card.

I always get dummy audio (and thus no sound). only HDMI audio Is working. Does someone also had this issue? [09:42] whoa [09:48] Hii, what might be the reason for IKEv2 not *fully* working on Ubuntu? I have several virtualbox vms and Ubuntu is the only one that can connect but... not much else after: what I actually have is connected IKEv2 tunnel/SA with working ICMP, UDP and... parts of TCP. Like I can open http site without any issue but not any https site. cURL, firefox andr openssl s_client hangs and timeouts, too. What might be [09:48] the reason for this behavior? Virtualbox has the interface 'bridged' not 'natted' and I'm thinking maybe MTU might be the reason but other OSs connected to the very same IKEv2 host have no issues connecting. [10:17] hello everyone. so, I'm trying to figure out a way to make a specific program/application to bind to a specific IPv4 and IPv6 address.. the program itself doesn't have a way to make it bind to the particular IPS.. any ideas are welcome [10:18] is this about programming or about using a program (if the latter, which one?) [10:18] it would be good if I could use some kind of routing or other "native" way, because the only solution that crossed is to run a VM inside my VPS [10:19] ayekat: in this case, the latter.. and the program is Quassel [10:21] EliteGod: If it can be proxied, proxy it with nginx listening on v6 [10:26] Quassel does have a way to specify the listening addresses (for incoming connections) but not the outgoing connections. I'm trying to figure out a way, because I also provide ZNC. in ZNC I can specify the IPv6 address for each user. so, as example, I'd bind Quassel to 2000:2001:2002:2003::1 (every Quassel user would appear connecting from the same IP, with oidentd in place for easier management of bans and such) and ZNC users would appear from [10:26] 2000:2001:2002:2003::2 and on.. [10:29] i1I: I don't want it to listen; I want to force the outgoing connections through a specific IP [10:54] Howdy folks === TheSilentLink_ is now known as TheSilentLink [11:03] BluesKaj Howdy..!!

I am trying to run a software written in java, which complains that needs JavaFX to run. [11:29] I installed OpenJFX from the repository (ubuntu 18.04) [11:29] but it seems it does not detect it [11:30] When launched from the console, I get the following error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/embed/swing/JFXPanel [11:30] and I am not sure how to proceed [11:32] woenx: Is it OpenJDK or Oracle Java? [11:32] how can I check? [11:32] `java --version` (may have to omit first dash) [11:33] openjdk 11.0.3 2019-04-16 [11:33] Ok, I think I need to run openjdk 8 instead of 11 [11:33] Probably a classpath problem (as in the JavaFX jars are not on the classpath) [11:33] I see some posts to the effect that the OpenJDK 8 package does pick it up properly as you say [11:34] if I run update-java-alternatives --list, it lists java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64 and java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 [11:34] but I don't know how to select one by default [11:34] is anyone using something that give the computer some kind of notification when phone rings? [11:34] If you have openjdk 11 on 18.04 you installed it via a PPA (unless they finally upgraded the openjdk 11 package to actually be 11 and not 10 as it has been for a while) [11:35] woenx, you want `update-alternatives` [11:35] openjdk-11-jre in bionic is version 11 [11:35] aha. I think I tried that earlier this morning, but I didn't know exactly what to do [11:35] update-alternatives --config java [11:35] tomreyn, That's changed since the last time I checked then, it's been 10 every time I've installed it [11:35] so I run sudo update-alternatives --config java and I get 3 options [11:36] sorry, 2 options (one of them is the default one, and appears twice) [11:36] what are they? [11:36] Mmmm [11:36] can I paste here? [11:36] wait [11:36] Pick the one that isn't the duplicated one [11:36] jhttps://pastebin.com/Wey8ehQ4 [11:37] That'll be the one you're not using now [11:37] You want option 2 [11:37] ok, so I picked number 2 [11:37] "using .. in manual mode" [11:37] awilkins: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openjdk-lts/openjdk-lts_11.0.3+7-1ubuntu2~18.04.1/changelog but i think it was in -proposed for a long time, until ~ 2 months ago [11:37] Yeah, usually it's "automatic" and you get whatever has the highest priority [11:38] ok, so now: [11:38] https://pastebin.com/b9d02FTA [11:39] Try a single dash [11:39] Takes a different arg style (I mean, it is three whole major versions behind..) [11:39] oh, ok, sorry: openjdk version "1.8.0_212" [11:39] Right, so now try your JavaFX program [11:40] yep, it still complains [11:40] Probably a classpath problem then [11:40] (I already tried switching the java version earlier this morning, but I wasn't sure it was the right move) [11:40] ok, another thing. I can star the program in two different ways [11:40] either directly running the ./program.jar, or running a script that launches the program [11:41] (the program is FileBot, a file renamer) [11:41] but it's an old version I had (the author made it a paid app in the last version) [11:41] ace_me: what were you trying to do there? [11:42] This is what happens when I run the program from the .jar file: https://pastebin.com/XWU3QTx2 (the GUI appears and I can use it, but it eventually fails at some point) [11:44] woenx: making this application work is beyond the scope of this channel, i'd say. try #java if you have source code. [11:44] ok, thanks anyway [11:44] woenx, you know that FileBot is available via snap ? [11:44] ioria: yes, but it's no longer free [11:44] i see [11:44] This is probably a good port of call. : https://askubuntu.com/questions/1091157/javafx-missing-ubuntu-18-04 [11:45] and I had a previous version that was free, and at some point stopped working [11:45] (but I used it not long ago) [11:45] The error you're getting is a "classpath" problem : the class it's looking for is not somewhere the runtime is looking for it [11:45] It may be that the shell script you've got helps find that, but something has changed [11:47] if you are curious, this is the launch script: https://pastebin.com/NnsYP3Wk [12:01] woenx, It's not doing anything to rectify that classpath ; I installed openfx and it looks like it puts things where they ought to be, but it is the 11 version of the package ; did you switch to openjdk 8 and *then* install it? [12:02] probably not. I will uninstall, purge and reinstall it again [12:05] Ubuntu installs openjfx (11.0.2+1-1~18.04.2) regardless of the java version [12:07] will there be a kernel bump today? https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2019-13272 [12:08] shibboleth: for the security part of ubuntu contact the #ubuntu-hardened channel [12:10] I read somewhere that I should add this when invoking the java program: --module-path /usr/share/openjfx/lib --add-modules=javafx.base,javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.graphics,javafx.media,javafx.swing,javafx.web [12:10] but I don't know where [12:11] Oh yeah, I made it! [12:11] I first switched back to java 11, and then added that line at the launch command of the .sh [12:11] now it finds openjfx :) [12:13] yep, confirmed, it works [13:00] hi so I'm on a small server from HP with ubuntu on it and somehow I can't get into the Bios. Guess the keyboard just doesn't work then? (but there is only usb's on it and not that old plug) What other possibilities are there? [13:01] kek_: what have you tried to get into the bios? [13:02] kek,think F2 at boot for HP's Bios [13:02] kek_: Does the server have a PS2 keyboard port on it? It would also help to know what the model of the server is, as you may not be pressing the correct key to enter bios on boot [13:03] HP have F2, F6 or F10, but I'm sure there are some that have others. [13:03] SwedeMike, if I'm on HP ProLiant I should be able to get to the boot menu with F11, doesn't work. Any other F* for other actions also doesn't work. [13:03] pragmaticenigma, nope, just USB, Model give me a second [13:04] SwedeMike, basically tried the usual ones but it looks like the keyboard doesn't work since I can't do anything at all. [13:06] pragmaticenigma, ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 or you want a more specific model description? [13:06] try a different keyboard, or connect via ILO [13:06] also try a different usb connector [13:07] kek, https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/Can-not-access-HP-Proliant-BIOS/td-p/6042549 [13:10] maintenance and service guide for MS Gen8 is https://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c03783380-6.pdf [13:10] tomreyn, tried that ofc but let me get another one :) also didn't know about ilo gonna research a bit - thanks everyone [13:10] tomreyn, thanks :) [13:16] so (according to page 76) to delete cmos + nvram, you need to set jumper S6 to ON, power on, wait for POST to complete, power off, set S6 to off. [13:18] what kernel is 18.04 on? (normal kernel, non-hwe) [13:19] !info linux-image-generic bionic [13:19] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional.

The GPU, monitor, and DP-port-dual link dvi adapter, all support atleast 2560x1600 resolution. [13:29] It has happened before either with some driver update or previous GPU upgrade, and got the correct solution from IRC but cannot remember the details. [13:30] I'm using ubuntu 19.04 and propetiary drivers since I'M doing some CUDA programming. === erichlf_ is now known as erichlf [13:32] This is super frustrating everything tells me the same thing about getting video codecs to work. I have even restarted the computer, yet I am still sitting here with no videos. [13:33] Things play fine in vlc, but I kinda would like things to work with the default player. [13:34] erichlf, as I understand it, vlc includes all the non-free codecs in the package. the standard vid player requires the restricted-extras. sounds like you did not install those yet [13:36] cfhowlett-1, but I have. [13:37] > ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version (66). [13:37] what exact issue are you seeing and what version of ubuntu? [13:38] You must have missed that message, no big deal. here you go. [13:38] Even after install restricted extras I am still unable to play pretty much any videos using totem. Can someone help me figure this out? I am on Ubuntu 18.04 [13:39] erichlf: no such message was posted on this channel [13:39] no big deal [13:40] It was under the nick erichlf_ and it was posted at 9:21:13 [13:40] but whatever [13:43] So the question is, why is it that installing ubuntu-restricted-extras and then restarting still gives me the message "Unable to play the file" " decoder is required to play the file, but is not installed." [13:43] erichlf: to begin, it would help the volunteers here to know what media player you would like to have working, and as detailed as you can set of steps you have done so far to try and get your preferred media application to work. [13:43] erichlf, try this: launch the video from the command line and note the error messages [13:44] totem VideoName.mp4 [13:44] ** Message: 09:44:08.818: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|totem|H.264 (High Profile) decoder|decoder-video/x-h264, level=(string)4, profile=(string)high, interlace-mode=(string)progressive, chroma-format=(string)4:2:0, bit-depth-luma=(uint)8, bit-depth-chroma=(uint)8 (H.264 (High Profile) decoder) [13:45] what's the output of running the file command against the video file? [13:45] so it is reading the file and identifying all the pieces - but claims streamer plugin if missing. freaky. But this is exactly why I have VLC installed for emergencies [13:46] ISO Media, MP4 Base Media v1 [IS0 14496-12:2003] [13:47] it's why I just use VLC all the time. I appear to avoid the issues with codecs being out of sorts. And in this case, depending on the file, it could be whom ever authored it made a mistake [13:47] The weird part is that all of these videos worked at some point. [13:47] I have no idea what happened in the mean time. [13:48] pragmaticenigma, it isn't the video. All videos have this issue. Also, I authored the video. [13:49] what is the defualt compression level for compress=zstd ? [13:49] sorry wrong channel [13:51] erichlf: Do you have any extra PPAs enabled on your machine? [13:51] erichlf: then maybe you can produce a short smaple file in this same format which has the same issue and upload this so that others can help you understand why it doesn't play back with totem on your ubuntu version. [13:51] and the vids work in VLC. Gotta be in totem, but darned if I can sort it [13:53] I tried to uninstall and reinstall totem and I get "`apt-get check` failed, you may have broken packages. Aborting..." [13:53] So I think I have a clue. [13:53] that is for libdvd-pkg [13:54] here's how you can provide some information on the state of apt on your system: sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -qqy update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 also show the very command which results in an error message, as well as the output it generates, on a !pastebin [13:55] !pastebin [13:55] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

It is definitely not the particular video. [14:02] erichlf: i assume it's probably a configuration or package on your system that's causing issues. you have many packages pending installation. but i have not yet seen the error message in context so i don't think i can help. [14:05] erichlf: i suggest you sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade and post the full output of running these commands only if there are any error messages. [14:05] ...or warnings [14:05] ho [14:05] where does LO store cache files, and history and everything else , if possible [14:05] and also recently opened files [14:07] erichlf: i got to go for now, but should be back in ~ an hour. if you can provide more information, others may be around to assist as well. [14:07] (or we can continue lateR) [14:08] tomreyn, no errors, but also doesn't fix anything. Things for trying to help. [14:08] thanks* === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut [14:16] audio codecs work, just not video codecs.

[14:34] seems to work now. [14:34] ok [15:40] here's a fun ssh one. i've rebuilt a server from scratch, and originally a script running on another box would ssh in and run a command once a day. i created the user and added the public key and now i'm trying to get it to run, and it's failing. it connects, says "Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal." then exits. now i know i can fix this by passing -t -t in to the ssh [15:40] command but this job has been running successfully without that for 2 years. is there some sshd option i am missing on the new server's side? I don't recall anything like that but it was originally set up over 2 years ago. [15:42] Ubuntu becomes unresponsive after 8-9 hours of use and crashes [15:42] wtf moment [15:43] ahaa, fixed it, the psudo-terminal one is a red herring, i'd not added the user to the sshusers group so sshd was just disconnecting them without a message [15:48] I think I will need to write a script for restarting applications when they start consuming over 1G memory [15:49] What application is eating that much memory?

I suggest you adopt 18.04 LTS unless you really, truly need to use the latest OS [16:08] I try to play an HD mkv video and it plays jerky and caues the gpu temp to jump to 60c and makes the system reboot. [16:09] some programs like aide are notorious, I will investigate this tonight [16:09] only HD mkv? [16:09] doesn't matter. that's besides the point. Please please don't tell me to upgrade [16:09] it's an old issue [16:09] cfhowlett: it seems so [16:09] sentiment: we cannot support eol versions, please consider installing a supported version from the topic [16:10] lotuspsychje: this version was supported until a week ago or so and the problem has been lingering for a few months [16:10] I don't see the logic [16:10] sentiment: keep in mind on non-lts versions not everything is stable, so also amdgpu could have issues [16:11] sentiment, the logic is that we don't support unsupported versions. [16:11] Try 19.04 or 18.04 [16:11] in case I may nott be clear, let me try : I'm certain that after the upgrade the issue remains [16:11] sentiment: lets find out.. [16:11] Why? [16:12] because I have installed all the latest updates and doesn't the next lts version include those updates too? [16:13] sentiment, if releases were identical to updates, Ubuntu wouldn't have releases. [16:13] well what's the kernel version for 19.04؟ [16:13] sentiment: 5.0 based, iirc [16:14] sentiment: No, the sw environment is not the same. [16:14] !info linux-generic disco [16:14] linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 5.0.0.20.21 (disco), package size 1 kB, installed size 15 kB [16:14] sentiment: I am not saying that that would absolutely solve your problem but it might. [16:15] sentiment: Laptop or desktop? [16:16] hmm I hadn't had the best upgrade experience from 16.04 to 18.04 [16:16] I'm afraid of upgrading [16:16] elias_a: desktop [16:17] I'm running the 4.18.0-25-generic kernel [16:17] isn't it the same kernel as the 18.04? [16:17] sentiment: please leave the channel free for support questions [16:18] sentiment: if you want to discuss you can join #ubuntu-discuss if you like [16:18] we can discuss eol all night there [16:18] I should have lied about the version [16:25] hi lotuspsychje [16:25] how many are on ubuntu LTS? i mean using it latest lts release? [16:26] immu: come join to #ubuntu-discuss please === korzq7 is now known as korzq [17:17] Hello, How can I with smartctl view the logs of the nvme disk? [17:20] netcrash: if smartmontools are sufficiently new and the nvme is in its 'disk db', then it works just like for any other storage: smartctl -x /dev/... [17:20] netcrash: basic smart data is also available via nvme smart-log /dev/... [17:21] I have this error log entries -> num_err_log_entries : 106 [17:21] no other infon [17:21] info [17:22] this is returned by which application in which version on which ubuntu release? [17:22] ...using which command? [17:22] ...against which hardware? [17:22] sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0 [17:22] SAMSUNG MZVLW256HEHP-000L7 [17:25] this is returned by which application in which version on which ubuntu release? [17:25] Ubuntu 18.04 LTS [17:25] nvme version 1.5 [17:25] netcrash: and what are you hoping to find, whats wrong with your ssd? [17:26] Trying to understand what the increase of log error messages are [17:26] netcrash: can you pastebin us what you see please? [17:27] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xdtRwj5bY5/ [17:30] netcrash: https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1376353 [17:32] netcrash: did you try with smartctl? [17:37] I think I'm going for Ubuntu. [17:37] tomreyn: smartctl gives no usefull output [17:50] hello [17:51] hello dr0id [17:57] netcrash: maybe see if you can find a !PPA providing a newer smartmontools version [17:58] Is there no way to pin apps toa desktop workspace ? [18:00] ekarlso: ubuntu focuses on no icons on desktop these days [18:01] lotuspsychje: more like if I open apps on workspace 1 and then some on workspace 2, plug my laptop to a docking station with 2 screens it moves them around [18:01] ekarlso: but you could try dconf-editor and see if there are tweaks [18:04] netcrash: this descrivbes how to dump the error log using the 'nvme' command: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli/master/Documentation/nvme-error-log.txt [18:05] or use nvme --help error-log [18:05] Why, if i run 18.04 with HWE, kernel 4.18.x .. i get an update 4.15.x ? [18:06] netcrash: note that previously you ran "nvme smart-log" (so not 'error-log') [18:07] OerHeks: because you didn't uninstall linux-image-generic [18:08] ekarlso: see also the keyword workspaces in dconf-editor, there are some tweak values also there [18:08] OerHeks: OerHeks: because you didn't uninstall linux-image-generic [18:09] OerHeks: more precisely, because you (installed and) didn't uninstall linux-generic and linux-image-generic [18:09] and/or [18:09] linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 and linux-generic-hwe-18.04 are installed [18:10] so neither of those i listed? [18:10] jups, i am baffled too [18:12] maybe apt-rdepends -r linux-image-4.15.0-... can tell [18:13] hmm apt autoremove does not want to do what i order it... [18:13] my: dpkg --list | grep linux- [18:13] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7HPqyRjzQJ/ [18:14] linux-image-generic is installed [18:14] linux-generic as well [18:15] jups, boot is filling with 4.18 and 4.15 kernels [18:15] well uninstall those two packages if you prefer not to have 4.15 kernels [18:15] oh, should i see that as a reserved rollback? [18:16] I don't know my password. I am logged in. How can I change the password to something I don't know? [18:16] deadmund, reboot in recovery, and follow the password wiki [18:16] !password [18:16] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [18:17] OerHeks: how do you mean "reserved rollback"? those packages track / depend on the GA kernels. if you don't want GA kernels, don't install those packages. [18:17] deadmund: if the goal is to *not* know a password, (a) why (b) itmight be better to lock the account or disable password auth in sshd or something, depending upon what you're trying to do [18:19] OerHeks: Thanks [18:19] The KDE dialog for users / passwords is awful and confusing! [18:19] im getting gnome-boxes errors on dconf-editor about translations, wich package should i bug to? https://hastebin.com/yeqehoweni.rb [18:19] OerHeks: apt-cache show linux-generic | grep ^Depends ; echo; apt-cache show linux-image-generic | grep ^Depends [18:19] 18.04.2 [18:23] lotuspsychje: if that's a translation which came with gnome-boxes then i'd file it against gnome-boxes (also in debian if this is a synced package) [18:24] tomreyn: ok, normally when i launch dconf, i dont get much errors, happened after the gnome-boxes install [18:25] I'm having trouble with the uvcvideo module (I think). My webcam keeps showing up and then going away, over and over. [18:25] activedecay : Try - sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo [18:26] sure, i can try removing it. do you think my webcam will work without that module? [18:26] activedecay: After htat try: sudo modprobe uvcvideo [18:26] Yes [18:26] ok, sure. rebooting and when it comes back i'll see what it says. thanks [18:26] activedecay : I had the same problem a month ago [18:26] lotuspsychje: it could also be a shortcoming of dconf-editor. maybe see if 'dconf' returns the same error when you try to read this key. [18:27] lets see [18:30] tomreyn: yes, it produces new errors on clicking every value under /org/gnome/boxes/collections [18:30] ./org/gnome/boxes that is [18:32] tomreyn: maybe better file against dconf-editor then right? [18:32] lotuspsychje: so file it against gnome-boxes in ubuntu (and debian if they have the same version). the error message you showed contains typographic single quotes. maybe this is the cause, or maybe a 3 value array within a string was unexpected. [18:33] tomreyn: allrighty [18:33] lotuspsychje: i think the gnome-boxes translation file must be the cause, not dconf or dconf-editor [18:33] ok , on it [18:37] tomreyn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-boxes/+bug/1837445 [18:37] Launchpad bug 1837445 in gnome-boxes (Ubuntu) "Failed to parse translated string on dconf-editor launch" [Undecided,New] [18:42] I renamed several files and now systemd-journald is using 100% of my ram memory. Why? and how long is it gong to last? [18:42] all files are in an external hdd [18:43] each file is 800 MiB in size [18:43] frad: I suspect the file renames are unrelated to journald [18:44] frad: did you just rename files or did you move files? if you ust renamed them within one filesystem, filesize is irrelevant, it's just a quick directory update [18:44] sarnold, this behavior is only seen after renamig several large files... journald spins to 100% and the fan starts getting loud [18:44] frad: if you've *moved* files between filesystems, then the file size is relevant [18:44] frad: to figure out what systemd-journald is doing, perf top is probably the easiest tool [18:44] sarnold, no different directory, just renamed [18:45] did you rename files in /var/log/ by chance ? [18:45] tomreyn, no, external hdd [18:46] media files [18:48] frad: maybe you have error messages stacking up in dmesg -w as well? [18:48] (you can cancel this using ctrl-c) [18:48] I am now trying to install perf with sudo apt install linux-tools-common [18:59] How do I download a package, and all of its dependencies, for offline installation? [19:02] leonardus, https://www.ostechnix.com/download-packages-dependencies-locally-ubuntu/ [19:04] ioria: I tried that but it's not putting the files in /var/cache/apt/archives because I already have them installed on my system normally. [19:05] leonardus, then cp the .debs on an external device [19:05] leonardus: if you're going to be doing it a lot, try the apt-offline package. It's packaged and in the archive, here's a webpage with some information on it https://github.com/rickysarraf/apt-offline [19:06] ioria: The .debs are not there, that's what I'm saying [19:16]
