| DOSfan | question: I have some icons that keep disapearing off my launcher bar (ubuntu 16), any ideas? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| coz_ | DOSfan, ypu probably should be in #ubuntu channel | 00:16 |
| coz_ | DOSfan, sorry | 00:16 |
| coz_ | I was thinking I was in another channel | 00:17 |
| DOSfan | got disconnected ... a new version of the program came out so I guess that's why my icon dissapeared .. all is well. | 00:21 |

| stavros | Hello | 00:52 |
| stavros | What does everyone use for an application launcher? I used Gnome-Do but it doesn't work with the latest XUbuntu | 00:52 |
| stavros | Synapse never seems to learn my habits | 00:52 |
| sarnold | I've got dmenu_run bound to a key in my i3 config | 00:54 |
| stavros | sarnold, does that learn? Gnome-Do has a frecency list so it knows what I usually want to launch | 00:54 |
| sarnold | stavros: no | 00:55 |
| stavros | Ah, hmm | 00:55 |
| uRock | I use gnome. It remembers what I've used and lists it in Frequent. | 00:58 |
| stavros | uRock, I see, thanks | 00:59 |
| brenster21 | hello, so i ran rsync in a screen on my computer. i am now sshing intino the computer and would like to check the output of the screen but cant access it | 01:10 |
| sarnold | does screen -ls show it? | 01:12 |
| brenster21 | yes | 01:13 |

| brenster21 | thank you | 01:14 |
| leftyfb | brenster21: man screen # goes a long way | 01:15 |
| leftyfb | brenster21: also googling for how to use screen | 01:15 |
| brenster21 | honestly i was googling it, but i was left lost and i thought i was going to have to use root or something | 01:16 |
| sarnold | not knowing how ot use screen was one of the reasons why I switched to tmux :) | 01:16 |
| leftyfb | brenster21: first result on google for "linux how to use screen" https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-linux-screen/ | 01:16 |

| hipitihop | This morning software updates broke a working docker-ce on my 18.04 LTS. Restart,uninstall, reinstall, has not helped, engine still fails to start. Anyone have similar issue or can help ? | 01:17 |

| brenster21 | guess my googlefu is crap | 01:17 |

| Larsson | Hey. Can someone tell me how to disable scroll lock? For some reason it's on and my laptop doesn't have that key | 01:18 |
| sarnold | Larsson: maybe it does, but only by pressing a fn key first? | 01:18 |
| Larsson | sarnold: if it has, it doesn't say in any key... | 01:20 |
| sarnold | dang | 01:21 |
| Larsson | I tried the "setleds -scroll" I found at google, but I get this error: setleds: Error reading current flags setting. Maybe you are not on the console? | 01:21 |
| sarnold | yeah I don't think I'd expect that to work from X or wayland, just a virtual console | 01:22 |
| sarnold | hmm. it's been so long since I've looked.. are those set per-virtual console? I'm pretty sure they are.. | 01:22 |
| hipitihop | sarnold, which log do you suggest. Output from install here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bKMkQZTpyw/ | 01:23 |

| leftyfb | Larsson: check to see if it's something you can disable in the BIOS | 01:24 |
| Larsson | Ok, found in google the key combination for this laptop. It's Fn + C (Should've done that instead of complicating things) | 01:25 |
| Larsson | thanks | 01:25 |
| Larsson | I probably pressed that instead of ctrl C at some point | 01:25 |
| sarnold | hipitihop: try journalctl -u docker.service | 01:25 |
| sarnold | Larsson: wow, that'd be *really* frustratingly easy to hit | 01:26 |

| sarnold | hipitihop: woot: failed to start daemon: error initializing graphdriver: /var/lib/docker contains several valid graphdrivers: overlay2, devicemapper; Please | 01:33 |
| sarnold | hipitihop: I'm going to guess that the rest of that line says something important | 01:33 |
| hipitihop | sorry it scrolled off the terminal | 01:34 |
| hipitihop | sarnold, "Please cleanup or explicitly choose storage driver (-s <DRIVER>)" | 01:37 |
| sarnold | hipitihop: cool :) now to poke around in /var/lib/docker and try to figure out if there's something new there, or if the restriction of "only one" is new | 01:40 |
| hipitihop | yup looking at posts like this seem related: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45103803/not-able-to-start-docker-on-ubuntu-16-04-2-lts-error-initializing-graphdriver | 01:41 |
| hipitihop | sarnold, stoping docker, adding "storage-driver": "overlay2" to /etc/docker/daemon.json then restarting has got it going. Appreciate your time | 01:55 |

| guiverc | Rembo, with ZFS questions you may get help quicker in #ubuntu-server | 07:32 |

| alexande1 | i need to setup wifi | 08:06 |
| alexande1 | oh sorry a moment | 08:06 |
| alexande1 | so the problem is i access wifi by a starbucks network with a login ok: i managed to click the login link with curl | 08:07 |
| alexande1 | and i can use irc or wget pages | 08:07 |
| alexande1 | but apt install fails with mismatch size / hash errors iirc | 08:07 |
| alexande1 | is there something additional i need to do to setup wifi in bash (my ubuntu currently only seems to enter the terminal tty | 08:07 |
| lotuspsychje | alexande1: is it possible to pastebin the errors? | 08:08 |
| alexande1 | this is very hard, as i need to create a curl POST request that does it | 08:08 |
| alexande1 | but luckily i might have ix , wait | 08:08 |
| alexande1 | wait a moment | 08:09 |
| caroga | Good UGT morning everyone! | 08:13 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome caroga | 08:13 |
| caroga | hi lotuspsychje. remember me from last time, you helped me with my touchpad. It's now working due to a kernel update :) | 08:13 |
| lotuspsychje | caroga: great to hear, wich kernel are you on now? did you have a bug on it? | 08:14 |
| caroga | lotuspsychje: 4.18, and yes I have a bug on it which still is open (also cannot be closed as the bug for switching the touchpad on/off still is active) | 08:15 |
| lotuspsychje | caroga: can i see your bug ID again please? | 08:15 |
| alexande1 | so basically mismatch size | 08:16 |
| alexande1 | mirror sync in progress? | 08:16 |
| alexande1 | unexpected size | 08:16 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1813783 in linux (Ubuntu) "Unable to toggle Touchpad by keyboard shortcut" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 08:16 |
| alexande1 | is my error | 08:16 |
| alexande1 | when i sudo apt install links | 08:16 |
| lotuspsychje | alexande1: did you sudo apt update first? | 08:16 |
| alexande1 | ok i see the error | 08:16 |
| alexande1 | basically my network login redirects to its "login" page when i try to apt update | 08:17 |
| alexande1 | but it doesnt do that e.g. for https:/google.com | 08:17 |
| alexande1 | my wifi network* | 08:17 |
| alexande1 | the same happens when i do http://google | 08:18 |
| alexande1 | is it possible that apt hits non-https pages | 08:18 |
| alexande1 | and i need to somehow fix my wifi settings with that network | 08:18 |
| lotuspsychje | alexande1: are you on that public wifi? | 08:18 |
| alexande1 | yep | 08:18 |
| alexande1 | i dont have access to another in the moment | 08:19 |
| lotuspsychje | alexande1: could be blocking things from there maybe | 08:19 |
| alexande1 | (and even if i had no idea how to lookup the other networks in bash) | 08:19 |
| lotuspsychje | caroga: seems like you tested alot already on that bug :p good job | 08:21 |
| caroga | thanks. It was kinda fun as well to get stuff to work, but mostly I'm now happy my touchpad is in working order. | 08:21 |
| alexande1 | so guys, the problem is all my http(not https) pages are redirected to a login page | 08:22 |
| alexande1 | is it possible to somehow use apt get in https-only mode | 08:22 |
| alexande1 | or to download package like links | 08:22 |
| alexande1 | by other way | 08:22 |
| lotuspsychje | alexande1: easy on the enter button please, you dont need to describe every step you try here | 08:22 |
| alexande1 | i am sorry, i usually write many short messages, will try to fix it | 08:23 |
| mrch_ | Is there any working manual to access Ubuntu through VNC viever from Windows, Centos works fine for me but an etire Google page of Ubuntu manuals seem to be corrupt, the Ubuntu Console window shows a perfect GUI, but the VNC always boots in a greysreen or a blackscreen, no metter startx config ! | 08:47 |

| ZaZaGX | hello | 08:51 |
| alexande1 | otherwise, my problem is that i think i broke my python3: i might ve changed a file which now breaks imports and e.g. pip3 and many others cant start, so after that i cant seem to start my ui(x server) | 08:54 |
| alexande1 | is it possible that this is the reason, or is it not rela | 08:54 |
| guiverc | ZaZaGX, if you have a Ubuntu support question, please just ask it (this room isn't for chit-chat) | 08:57 |
| ThriftyDillo | Are questions about using Ubuntu in a VM OK? | 09:02 |
| akemlenovo_ | ThriftyDillo, I think yes, just ask and you'll know. | 09:08 |
| ThriftyDillo | I just installed VirtualBox on my Mac and Ubuntu 14.10. I might have some questions | 09:11 |
| Cheez | Not sure Ubuntu 14.04 is supported in here, ThriftyDillo | 09:12 |
| Cheez | it's out of the support lifecycle | 09:13 |
| Cheez | 14.10* | 09:13 |
| Cheez | even the lts 14.04 is out of support though, let alone the non lts 14.10 | 09:13 |
| ThriftyDillo | Yeah, my I'm using a really old Mac with Snow Leopard, so that's the best version which would run | 09:14 |
| ThriftyDillo | *I'm using | 09:14 |
| ThriftyDillo | I do realize that the verson of VB I'm running is unsupported, and 14.10 is old | 09:15 |
| ThriftyDillo | *version | 09:15 |
| ThriftyDillo | anyway, another time :) | 09:15 |
| ThriftyDillo | Just wanted to make sure we could talk about running Ubuntu in VM here | 09:16 |
| rory | supported versions of ubuntu are supported in virtualbox. however ubuntu 14.10 is not supported anywhere, vb or not | 09:21 |
| rory | how did you even find 14.10 iso? | 09:21 |
| ThriftyDillo | older versions of Ubuntu are readily available at their site | 09:22 |
| rory | but why 14.10? | 09:22 |
| ThriftyDillo | and I have successfully installed an older version of VirtualBox in Snow Leopard and 14.10 | 09:23 |
| ThriftyDillo | because I run Snow Leopard | 09:23 |
| mrch_ | SwedeMike: what exactly worked for you? | 09:23 |
| ayekat | ThriftyDillo: the host OS shouldn't matter | 09:23 |
| rory | that shouldn't matter. vbox is vbox right? | 09:23 |
| rory | why not, say 14.04, or 15.04? I have many qyestions | 09:23 |
| ThriftyDillo | 14.10 is the latest version the Snow Leopard version of VB will support | 09:23 |
| rory | just download 18.04 and be done with it. I'm sure it will work. and if it doesn't, cross that bridge when you get there. | 09:23 |
| ayekat | rory: 15.04 isn't any better, though - 14.04 was at least an LTS | 09:24 |
| ThriftyDillo | ^^ | 09:24 |
| ayekat | ThriftyDillo: does the latest version of VB not run on Snow Leopard? | 09:24 |
| ayekat | does a later version of macOS not run on your laptop? | 09:24 |
| ThriftyDillo | no, needs at least Mavericks | 09:24 |
| ThriftyDillo | I have to run Snow Leopard because I run some old PPC code (Rosetta translator) | 09:25 |
| ThriftyDillo | So I'm stuck with 14.10 in VM | 09:25 |
| ayekat | I see | 09:25 |
| ayekat | can the old PPC code not be replaced (or itself be run in an emulator)? | 09:27 |
| ayekat | because it keeps you back by a decade (or half a decade, for the ubuntu VM) - is it really worth it? | 09:27 |
| rory | but... what happens when you try to install a later version? | 09:27 |
| rory | what changed between 14.10 and 15.04 that stopped it working in vb? | 09:27 |
| * ayekat assumes the vbox guest additions | 09:28 | |
| rory | i still think it's worth a try | 09:28 |
| rory | you will struggle hard on 14.10 | 09:28 |
| SwedeMike | ThriftyDillo: you could consider running a different operating system completely and then running your old MacOS version virtualised. I run MacOS in Parallels on my Mac, so I could run an older version of macos in that VM if I needed to. | 09:29 |
| rory | it's not going to explode your mac. the worst you lose is your time, and a gigabyte download. | 09:29 |
| ThriftyDillo | <SwedeMike> ThriftyDillo: you could consider running a different operating system completely and then running your old MacOS version virtualised. << interesting idea | 09:30 |
| ThriftyDillo | Will bbl, thanks :) | 09:30 |

| EoflaOE | chieta: Yes. I have ne, works fine | 11:34 |
| EoflaOE | one* | 11:34 |
| haiiokarin | hey guys, i created droplet on the digitalocean and normally i received ip adress on which i'm streaming my radio now. Since i have other website which is listening to that IP - how can i make that ip on digitalocean secure, i mean by declaring ssl certificate? If i want to import Let's Encrypt to i need also apache or something? | 11:37 |
| lotuspsychje | haiiokarin: i think for digital ocean questions, you better contact the digitalocean support | 11:46 |
| lotuspsychje | haiiokarin: whats your kernel version and ubuntu version there? | 11:47 |
| ciby | ok guys i messed up big im stupid so i pressed alt ctrl f1 while my screen was blank and other combos and my its all messed up like the screen is super zoomed in what do i do | 11:50 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: did you try a reboot yet? | 11:50 |
| ciby | yes, it doesnt help | 11:51 |
| haiiokarin | lotuspsychje: one moment :) | 11:51 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: wich ubuntu version please? | 11:51 |
| ciby | 18.04.2 | 11:52 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: check systemsettings/accesability/ if zoom is enabled or not? | 11:54 |
| haiiokarin | lotuspsychje: Ubuntu 16.04.6 x64 , 4.4.0-154-generic | 11:54 |
| haiiokarin | lotuspsychje: i should upgrade ubuntu also right? | 11:54 |
| lotuspsychje | haiiokarin: that looks pretty well up to date | 11:54 |
| lotuspsychje | haiiokarin: are you on server i presume? | 11:54 |
| ciby | zoom is off | 11:55 |
| haiiokarin | lotuspsychje: i just installed icecast when i booted up droplet | 11:56 |
| haiiokarin | lotuspsychje: sorry LibreTime | 11:56 |
| haiiokarin | lotuspsychje: which depends on icecast | 11:56 |
| ciby | theres something up with the resolution, when this stuff first happened it was super zoomed in and it didnt have options for resolution at all | 11:56 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: check systemsettings/devices/screen then, see if schaling is correct or resolution | 11:57 |
| lotuspsychje | haiiokarin: ubuntu desktop or server? | 11:57 |
| ciby | and i just did something on "advanced options for ubuntu" thing that at least gives different options for resolution, but they are both low | 11:57 |
| haiiokarin | lotuspsychje: server | 11:57 |
| lotuspsychje | haiiokarin: come join to #ubuntu-server please where the experts are | 11:57 |
| ciby | what is alt-ctrl-f1 supposed to do though | 12:01 |
| longus_catus | Does ubuntu automatically renice processes now????????? | 12:01 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: tty | 12:01 |
| lotuspsychje | longus_catus: elaborate please, whats happening? | 12:01 |
| longus_catus | Exactly what I said. Processes getting reniced automatically | 12:01 |
| longus_catus | Probabyl this package called 'and' | 12:02 |
| ciby | pretty afraid i totally ruined this thing, looks like i need to start over | 12:03 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: check also: sudo lshw -C video to see if driver is still loaded | 12:03 |
| ciby | okay | 12:04 |
| ciby | just did that but im not sure what sense im supposed to make of it | 12:05 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: at bottom driver=.... | 12:05 |
| ciby | im not seeing it say "driver" anywhere but it says "display UNCLAIMED" which sounds important to this | 12:08 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: ok, thats what wrong the, your driver isnt loaded, do you have an nvidia card? | 12:09 |
| ciby | yes | 12:09 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: ok, check ubuntu-drivers list, please | 12:09 |

| lotuspsychje | ciby: no, from a terminal please: ubuntu-drivers list | 12:10 |
| lotuspsychje | ss942: you installed kubuntu-desktop ontop of ubuntu-desktop with gnome 18.04? | 12:11 |
| ss942 | lotuspsychje: I wish, but it's my secoundary machine, and it was Ubuntu 16.04 | 12:11 |
| ss942 | no idea if still supported | 12:12 |
| lotuspsychje | ss942: yes 16.04 is still supported, but you might give the channel more details of what you been doing, so volunteers can help you better | 12:12 |
| ss942 | The hugest problem is that I don't have access to any other computer for next 5 days, and I have to end my job from it in 3 days... | 12:13 |
| ss942 | lotuspsychje: ok, give me a moment | 12:13 |
| ciby | i entered "ubuntu-drivers list" in the terminal and got one result... what do i do with it | 12:13 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: that command should give you driver versions, wich do you see please? | 12:13 |
| ciby | nvidia-driver-390 | 12:14 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: ok good, first see if your system is up to date please: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 12:15 |
| ciby | doesnt look like it is, and i dont think that updated it | 12:17 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: getting errors? | 12:17 |

| lotuspsychje | ciby: are you the owner of your system? | 12:24 |
| ciby | yes | 12:24 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: you cant recall installing virtualbox? | 12:25 |
| ciby | yes | 12:25 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: remove it please and then try to update system again | 12:25 |
| ciby | how do i do that | 12:25 |
| ciby | did this happened when i did the alt-ctrl-f1 thing | 12:26 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: before we focus on your tty thing, lets try to straighten your system a bit first | 12:27 |
| ciby | okay | 12:27 |
| lotuspsychje | !ppapurge | ciby | 12:27 |
| ubottu | ciby: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 12:27 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: you can check your sources in software&sources icon aswell | 12:27 |
| ciby | whats repository-name and subdirectory for | 12:28 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: thats where it fits the ppa name and subdirectory you added | 12:29 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: that could have happened manual, or from installing it from the website | 12:29 |
| ciby | oh just noticed it says i need to install something called ppa-purge | 12:32 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: yes, see the factoid i suggested above | 12:32 |
| ciby | how do i do that though.. | 12:32 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: sudo apt install ppa-purge | 12:33 |
| caroga | So, I've got a question. I've added Flickr under Online Accounts, and installed Photos. But I don't see my flickr albums showing up ? | 12:34 |
| caroga | Am I missing something or am I assuming the wrong outcome ? | 12:34 |
| lotuspsychje | caroga: did it add a flickr icon to quick launch it? | 12:35 |
| caroga | To the ubuntu menu or the photos application ? | 12:35 |
| caroga | both: nope | 12:35 |
| ciby | so now do i just enter "sudo ppa-purge" or do i need to fill in the other stuff | 12:36 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: look at the factoid i provided how to use ppa-purge, you need to add the exact ppa name/and directory | 12:37 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: volunteers cant help you with that part though, as you should recall wich ppa you added | 12:37 |
| ciby | welp... i dont know what they are | 12:38 |
| ciby | might be stuck here | 12:38 |
| lotuspsychje | !sources | ciby | 12:40 |
| ubottu | ciby: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 12:40 |

| ciby | um i think i just found something? i searched "virtual" in my files and i found a file called "virtual box" that was made a couple hours ago | 12:43 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: try to recall wich steps you took, to add virtualbox to your system, maybe check browser history? | 12:44 |
| ciby | i dont keep browser history | 12:44 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: after you removed the ppa, you have to update system again, then install that 390 nvidia driver | 12:45 |
| ciby | it was actually from june 25th so nevermind.. not sure what im doing with it though | 12:47 |
| ciby | but last thing that happened, i was trying to find out how to get ubuntu out of suspend because the screen stays blank when i do | 12:48 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: i presume your screen problems are related to nvidia driver not loaded | 12:49 |
| ciby | maybe, hope i can fix this first though.. | 12:50 |
| ciby | theres this other filed called "virtual" with stuff from today | 12:50 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: pastebin your sources.list please? | 12:51 |
| ciby | let me see what i can do | 12:51 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: /etc/apt/sources.list or sources.list.d | 12:52 |
| ciby | oh um | 12:53 |
| ciby | in sources.list.d theres a file thats called virtualbox.list | 12:54 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: pastebin please | 12:55 |
| ciby | the contents of virtualbox.list? | 12:56 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: sources.list.d | 12:56 |
| ciby | not sure what you mean | 12:57 |
| ciby | well in sources.list, in "other software", theres a marked checkbox for virtualbox stuff | 12:59 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: oh i see, it opened software&sources i presume? try to remove the virtualbox from list | 13:00 |
| skyroveRR | Hello all! I'm using ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and I've got an encrypted $HOME. I've got a script in $HOME that needs to be run at boot. When I place it in /etc/rc.local, I get /home/$USER/script: Not found. Any ideas on how to get it to work? | 13:01 |
| skyroveRR | I get that Not found error at boot time. | 13:02 |
| EriC^ | skyroveRR: can you place it outside of $HOME? | 13:02 |
| skyroveRR | EriC^: I could, but I'd like to keep it clean. | 13:02 |
| skyroveRR | I mean I've got no problems putting it in /root, but I don't understand why that isn't working. | 13:02 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: My clean solution is an /etc/cron-scripts dir on all my machines. | 13:02 |
| ciby | might have to brb | 13:03 |
| EriC^ | skyroveRR: cause your home dir is encrypted, it's only decrypted when you login | 13:03 |
| skyroveRR | EriC^: I'm using SSH, the machine is running headless. | 13:03 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: So? | 13:03 |
| EriC^ | skyroveRR: ^ | 13:03 |
| skyroveRR | Well.... so it'll decrpyt only on successful SSH login? I mean, SSH communicates with ecryptfs too? | 13:04 |
| skyroveRR | * decrypt | 13:04 |
| EriC^ | skyroveRR: are you using password authentication? | 13:04 |
| skyroveRR | Yes. | 13:04 |
| EriC^ | skyroveRR: when you login, the password you put is actually used to decrypt your passphrase wrapped file, which then is used to decrypt your dir | 13:05 |
| skyroveRR | vlt: how are you doing the cron part? | 13:05 |
| EriC^ | i dont think he meant that works with an encrypted home | 13:06 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: Depends on *what* should work. | 13:06 |
| zetheroo | How to restart nautilus? | 13:06 |
| EriC^ | you'd have to write something that decrypts the home dir before running /etc/rc.local, which is then kind of defeating the point of encryption somewhat | 13:07 |
| skyroveRR | The script inside $HOME should work at every reboot, that's what I'm after :) | 13:07 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: Then put it somewhere readable. | 13:07 |
| uRock | zetheroo, killall nautilus | 13:07 |
| uRock | then nautilus | 13:07 |
| zetheroo | uRock: ok | 13:07 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: And have an "@reboot" line in cron. | 13:07 |
| skyroveRR | vlt: ok, will do. | 13:08 |
| ciby | i just unchecked it | 13:09 |
| ciby | so... now what | 13:09 |
| zetheroo | uRock: when trying to 'killall' I get: nautilus: no process found | 13:09 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: now try: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 13:09 |
| uRock | zetheroo, add sudo | 13:10 |
| zetheroo | uRock: I did. strange thing though ... I saw it in System Monitor and then just as I posted the previous sentence it disappeared from the System Monitor ... who knows ;P | 13:11 |
| skyroveRR | vlt: I suppose putting it in /root and modifying /etc/rc.local should do the trick equally well? | 13:11 |
| uRock | lol, so it just took a minute to kill itself, | 13:11 |
| zetheroo | guess so | 13:12 |
| zetheroo | The real issue is that I am plagued by this message in Nautilus when trying to browse a samba network share: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out | 13:12 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: Of course. I just told you about my "clean" solution ;) | 13:13 |
| ciby | looks like it upgraded | 13:13 |
| zetheroo | I have tried several things from forum threads but honestly at this point don't want to mess up my system trying stuff out | 13:13 |
| skyroveRR | vlt: thanks man. I'll consider your suggestion for other things. | 13:14 |
| skyroveRR | vlt: the other way to get it to work would be to remove ecryptfs entirely, right? | 13:14 |
| ciby | i cant look back on the chat to see if ive been told what to do next | 13:15 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390, then reboot | 13:15 |
| ciby | nvidia driver thing? | 13:15 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: Sounds to me like two almost entirely different problems. | 13:15 |
| ciby | ah yes | 13:15 |
| ciby | ill do that | 13:15 |
| vlt | skyroveRR: You can only run things you can read. How to achieve this is up to you. | 13:17 |
| ciby | done, so now... i restart my computer | 13:18 |
| ciby | i... hope this works | 13:19 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: good luck | 13:19 |
| ciby | yesssssssssss it worked | 13:23 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | ciby | 13:23 |
| ubottu | ciby: Glad you made it! :-) | 13:23 |
| ciby | now its up to me to not do something quite as stupid as that again | 13:24 |
| lotuspsychje | ciby: if you need software, try to stick from the official repos | 13:24 |
| ciby | thanks for all the help | 13:25 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome ciby | 13:25 |
| skyroveRR | vlt: ok, well, my other question, was that to remove this "hurdle" of putting things only where they are readable, and to get over this decryption problem when running stuff at boot, would removing ecryptfs entirely solve this issue? | 13:28 |

| elfrederich | As root I installed the awscli via "python3.7 -m pip install --upgrade --user awscli" which installed it in /root/.local/bin/aws ... This works when I do "sudo su" then type some aws commands, but when I run "sudo aws" it's not found. How do I get this on the PATH when running sudo? | 13:40 |
| tomreyn | !ask | markmorlino | 13:42 |
| ubottu | markmorlino: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:42 |
| tomreyn | elfrederich: why did you install this as root? | 13:43 |
| elfrederich | tomreyn: I think I found it when I edit the sudoers file there is a secure path. | 13:43 |
| elfrederich | tomreyn: I am opening a tunnel on a priviliged port, so this needs to be done as root | 13:43 |
| elfrederich | tomreyn: an ssh tunnel... this needs awscli installed because I'm using SSM Session Manager | 13:44 |
| tomreyn | can you not do it on an unprivileged port instead? | 13:44 |
| tomreyn | maybe ask in #aws (could also be ##aws) for best practice. | 13:45 |
| elfrederich | tomreyn: would be a pain. This is tunneling a web server. | 13:45 |
| tomreyn | you can always redirect the port using iptables | 13:46 |
| markmorlino | gotcha, thanks tomreyn, ubottu - I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to have bionic desktop make users accept a welcome message before logging in.

| johnjay | is there a way to uninstall a metapackage? | 16:38 |
| johnjay | i.e. if I do apt-get install games-arcade can I do apt-get remove games-arcade? | 16:38 |
| johnjay | or like can you save the current package state and revert to it somehow in ubuntu? | 16:38 |
| JimBuntu | Rambo, you can use remove and even purge | 16:39 |
| johnjay | ok cool. i realized some of these take up a lot of space and it would be hard to go down the list individually after installing | 16:40 |
| JimBuntu | johnjay, you may find value in autoremove as well | 16:41 |
| johnjay | JimBuntu: it says packages installed with install will not be auto removed | 16:44 |
| johnjay | but it sounds like it could be useful for cleaning up after a big uninstall | 16:44 |
| JimBuntu | johnjay, yes, good for cleanup every so often. | 16:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | johnjay: when attempting to clean up space, "sudo apt autoremove" is the best place to start. It will remove old kernels and packages that have been lingering with dependencies requiring them | 16:45 |
| johnjay | ah gotcha | 16:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | *dependencies no longer requiring them | 16:45 |
| johnjay | i'm just installing a ton of things from games-arcade and games-rpg | 16:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | sorry bad phrasing there | 16:45 |
| johnjay | and i want a way to delete them after i've tried a few was my thinking | 16:45 |
| johnjay | since my hd space isn't unlimited | 16:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | Doing a remove on the meta-package only removes the meta-package, not the items that defined with in it. but if you remove a package that was installed by the meta-package, apt will recommend removing the meta-package as well, though remaining packages will remain unaffected | 16:46 |
| arooni | is there a way to disable ubuntu 18.04 timing out to a lock screen (with clock + notifications ) after x minutes of inactivity? | 16:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | arooni: In settings, look at the security area | 16:47 |
| johnjay | pragmaticenigma: ah that's' unfortunate | 16:48 |
| johnjay | i wanted a way to remove the entire metapackage | 16:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | arooni: Rather, look at "screen" in the settings area | 16:48 |
| arooni | ah i didnt see security thanks | 16:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | arooni: I think of it as security because it has an icon looks like a computer monitor with a lock on it | 16:48 |
| tomreyn | johnjay: packages which are installed as dependencies are marked as automatically installed. such packages will be offered for removal by autoremove when all the packages dependening on them have been removed. see the apt-mark command and its !man page for details. | 16:49 |
| arooni | i dont see 'screen' i see display | 16:49 |
| johnjay | tomreyn: so which of you is right? | 16:50 |
| johnjay | will apt-get remove games-arcade allow auto removal of the packages it installed or no? | 16:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | arooni: What do you see listed in the category of "Personal" ? | 16:50 |
| arooni | i have already disabled 'screen lock' | 16:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | arooni: That doesn't answer my question | 16:51 |
| tomreyn | johnjay: i'm not sure whether virtual packages define dependencies, or whether they work the same as if their targets had been manually specified on the command line. | 16:51 |
| arooni | pragmaticenigma: under settings i dont see 'personal' are you using 18.04 too? | 16:51 |
| arooni | https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/672/disable-screen-shield/ this seems to address it | 16:52 |
| johnjay | hrm | 16:54 |
| tomreyn | johnjay: on bionic, games-arcade is a non-virtual metapackage, so a standard package. which "Recommends:" all those games. i think you will notice that installing this package will cause the games to be marked for automatic removal. | 16:54 |
| tomreyn | but you can just check whether those games are automatically or anually installed using apt-mark | 16:54 |
| johnjay | ah ok | 16:55 |
| johnjay | it's going to take about 8hours to finish installing it plus other packages so i'll check and see | 16:55 |
| johnjay | thanks | 16:55 |

| tomreyn | johnjay: note that the games-arcade package also depends on the games-tasks package, which has a web page here https://blends.debian.org/games/tasks/ and a description of "This package provides Debian Games tasks in tasksel". | 16:57 |
| seven-eleven | preseed.cfg is so long :\ | 16:59 |

| tete_ | hi, is there any plan to release a new .iso which fixes the rdrand problem in ryzen 3000 processors? | 17:19 |
| tete_ | correction: with a new systemd version which workarounds the rdrand problem | 17:19 |
| JimBuntu | tete_, I can't speak for Canonical, but I saw that there is a new kernel released which resolves at least some of the ryzen 3000 issues | 17:19 |
| tomreyn | tete_: bug 1835809 | 17:23 |
| ubottu | bug 1835809 in systemd (Ubuntu Eoan) "AMD Ryzen 3000 series fails to boot" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1835809 | 17:23 |
| johnjay | a processor that fails to boot? o_o | 17:24 |
| tete_ | no, systemd does not boot because there is a faulty instruction | 17:25 |
| johnjay | ah | 17:25 |
| tete_ | and systemd relies on that, because... its... aeh... doing stuff it should not do, or.. at least a regular init system would not, but thats another topic | 17:25 |
| tomreyn | tete_: *fixing* the rdrand issue requires microcodes / firmware updates. which amd will probabably pass to mainboard vendors, and those will pass them to users. | 17:25 |
| johnjay | there are some linuxes out there that refused to use systemd. living out on the fringes of known space | 17:25 |

| ezio | compdoc, Still having the same issue. | 17:55 |
| JimBuntu | dan01, a video player, normally, isn't going to execute the video code... it interprets it and plays it back... hence, the player would need to have a vuln/bug that causes it to misinterpret the video file. VLC actually has one of those that was recently patched. | 17:57 |
| ikanobori | Not just one, it's an evergoing story. | 17:58 |
| ikanobori | Media formats often allow for a lot of things to support a lot of things and are very large libraries, in addition there are many formats so many of those libraries, they can break and be used in ways the user didn't intend. | 17:58 |
| ikanobori | If you have a media player that uses those libraries then yes a video file can be used to install malware. | 17:58 |
| ikanobori | Or 'contain' it. | 17:58 |
| ikanobori | It's also one of the most interesting attack surfaces since many devices auto play or preview media files using those libraries so it's cool to look into if you're wanting to break things. | 18:01 |
| JimBuntu | ikanobori, the preview vector is very bad, I agree. Probably not really an #ubuntu topic, but it is very interesting. | 18:01 |
| ikanobori | Sorry, yes :) | 18:02 |
| OerHeks | dan01, why? i am not fuel the hoax | 18:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | dan01: Your question is offtopic for this channel, this channel focuses on the support of Ubuntu Operating System flavors and software that has been isntalled by it's included package manager and default repositories. For question like yours, please use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. | 18:05 |
| dan01 | sorry | 18:05 |
| dan01 | I just ask here because I conssider you guys smart :D | 18:06 |
| dan01 | But you are right :) | 18:06 |
| sudo_halt | Hello, i cant get Ubuntu working on AMD RX 570. It just boots to a blank, black screen, in a total hang status, and switching terminals wont work. | 18:25 |
| johnjay | sudo_halt: i think you can tell grub to boot to a specific runlevel, like for rescue mode | 18:25 |
| sudo_halt | The only way to get it to work is using software rendering LLVM Pipe with kernel nomodeset option -- which i am using right now | 18:26 |
| johnjay | oh | 18:26 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: which ubuntu version exactly? | 18:27 |
| sudo_halt | Ubuntu 19.04, just installed, fresh install, AMD Ryzen 5 2600 + AMD RX 570 | 18:28 |
| sudo_halt | I have random freezes in GUI, terminal is okay | 18:28 |
| tomreyn | install the pending updates, reboot, see if you can boot without special kernel parameters | 18:29 |
| tomreyn | also install firmware updates if you haven't | 18:29 |
| sudo_halt | No graphics related updates are in, but okay | 18:29 |
| tomreyn | there'll be kernel updates at the very least | 18:30 |
| sudo_halt | Im updating now, gonna take a couple minutes | 18:32 |

| sudo_halt | Im using ubuntu's recovery mode to boot into a root console and im using weechat to IRC with terminal | 18:57 |
| sudo_halt | Any ideas? | 18:57 |
| OerHeks | kreyren, or get you own, 6 stable https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/ | 18:57 |
| OerHeks | make sure the ca-certificates-mono package is installed. | 18:58 |
| kreyren | that doesnt build | 18:58 |
| kreyren | ah | 18:58 |
| kreyren | checking | 18:58 |
| fadavi | . | 19:00 |
| sudo_halt | any ideas regarding the amd gpu boot problem? | 19:00 |
| kreyren | mono-devel on stable builds 6.0.0 only | 19:01 |
| kreyren | ah wait | 19:02 |
| kreyren | ah that works thanks OerHeks | 19:03 |
| OerHeks | have fun! | 19:03 |
| sudo_halt | Im re-typing my issue just in case: I have an AMD RX 570. When booting, Ubuntu 19.04 (fresh install, updated) boots to a blank, black screen. Before i update the machine, i was able to boot into software rendering, but now i cant even boot with that. | 19:06 |
| sudo_halt | Im using ubuntu's recovery mode with root console ATM. any ideas? | 19:06 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: can you post dmesg: dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999 | 19:08 |
| sudo_halt | okay, i can also give you full system inxi if you want] | 19:09 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: did you install any third party software after you had installed ubuntu? | 19:09 |
| sudo_halt | Yes, synaptics, and inxi utility | 19:10 |
| sudo_halt | Besides, i cant get a tty to work. | 19:10 |
| sudo_halt | Unless i quit my IRC client (tty1 -- root) | 19:10 |
| tomreyn | do you have another computer available? | 19:10 |
| sudo_halt | yes | 19:10 |
| sudo_halt | its running arch linux | 19:10 |
| tomreyn | use the other computer to chat | 19:10 |
| sudo_halt | okay | 19:10 |
| sudo_halt | wait | 19:11 |
| n-iCe | What's the favorite DE for Ubuntu? is there any? or the better supported? | 19:12 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 19.04 come with gnome / gnome-shell | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | !flavours | 19:13 |
| ubottu | Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 19:13 |
| n-iCe | ok, is it the must used? | 19:13 |
| n-iCe | more | 19:13 |
| sudo_halt | termbin.com/ym1bk | 19:13 |
| sudo_halt | thats the dmesg output | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | n-iCe: i have no current statistics available on this. | 19:14 |
| n-iCe | ok tomreyn | 19:14 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: looking | 19:14 |
| n-iCe | tomreyn: what can I use to flash a usb with ubuntu, make it bootable. | 19:15 |
| sudo_halt | with windows you can use Rufus, in linux you can use the dd utility | 19:16 |
| tomreyn | !usb | n-iCe | 19:16 |
| ubottu | n-iCe: 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 | 19:16 |
| n-iCe | thanks! | 19:16 |
| tomreyn | personally i like to recommend balena etcher to technically less advanced users | 19:16 |
| tomreyn | (i'm not saying you are) | 19:17 |
| n-iCe | again, thanks tomreyn amazing. | 19:17 |
| n-iCe | tomreyn: may I ask your DE? | 19:17 |
| n-iCe | I'm still not sure which select | 19:17 |
| n-iCe | or use | 19:17 |
| sudo_halt | KDE, Gnome and XFCE are all very great options, Gnome and XFCE being very flexible, Theres also DeepinDE, which is 'pretty' | 19:19 |
| sudo_halt | there are also many more, but this are some of my favourites | 19:19 |
| n-iCe | Think going to go for stock | 19:19 |
| n-iCe | or default DE gnome | 19:19 |
| JordiGH | Can I kill snapd? It's eating my CPU on some server that should be doing a calculation instead. | 19:20 |
| sudo_halt | if you dont have snaps, and dont use them, you can, but killing it may lead to some problems in snap, i mean it may be doing something important in background | 19:21 |
| sudo_halt | or maybe not | 19:21 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: well i don't see any issues on your dmesg. maybe you can get a syslog from last boot? | 19:22 |
| JordiGH | Okay, that snapd son of a gun... is going down. | 19:22 |
| sudo_halt | Last boot got stuck on explicit boot from systemd, not sure if theres anything usable | 19:22 |
| sudo_halt | ill see what i can get | 19:22 |
| JordiGH | Sighhhhhhhh snapd ate all of my AWS CPU credits. | 19:23 |
| ioria | sudo_halt you might hit by a bug: boot with ' modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu' or install latest kernel 5.1.0 lowlatency : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1818580 | 19:23 |

| sudo_halt | Yes, that error is there | 19:23 |
| sudo_halt | However, AMDGpu IS the driver for AMD Ellesmere (RX 500) | 19:24 |
| sudo_halt | If i blacklist it there wont be any GPU-acceleration | 19:24 |
| sudo_halt | which is bad, i guess> | 19:24 |
| ioria | sudo_halt try the 5.1 kern | 19:24 |
| sudo_halt | Is it in the official repos? | 19:25 |
| ioria | sudo_halt, nope: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.1/ | 19:25 |
| sudo_halt | Can i even add a PPA from the recovery mode? | 19:26 |
| ioria | sudo_halt, if remounted rw, yes | 19:26 |
| ioria | sudo_halt, you need to enable networking | 19:26 |
| sudo_halt | Yeah, i got that atm | 19:27 |
| sudo_halt | oh, and btw, there is no /var/logs dir | 19:28 |
| JimBuntu | what about /var/log ? | 19:29 |
| ioria | sudo_halt, chack sudo parted -l | 19:29 |

| JimBuntu | hello sputnik404 , if you have a support question for Ubuntu, please feel free to post as much as you can about it on a single line or use https://paste.ubuntu.com | 19:30 |
| sudo_halt | wait, isnt that kernel.ubuntu.com a PPA? | 19:33 |
| JimBuntu | there are debs at that link sudo_halt | 19:34 |
| EriC^ | !mainline | sudo_halt | 19:35 |
| ubottu | sudo_halt: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 19:35 |
| sudo_halt | Right, so i had to download the debs the whole time | 19:35 |
| sudo_halt | kept trying to add it as a repo | 19:35 |
| ioria | sudo_halt, nope | 19:35 |
| === viv`d is now known as vivid | ||
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: two more suggestions: just leave the recovery console and continue booting, see if you get graphics this way. if you don't boot the standard kernel with !kernelparm 'nosplash' (without the quotation marks) added but with 'quiet slash' removed. | 19:38 |
| tomreyn | (personally i wouldn't go so far as to try downgrading the kernel version just yet.) | 19:39 |
| sudo_halt | I have tried that, default boot and many different modes | 19:41 |
| sudo_halt | It just hangs, a classic, total hang | 19:41 |
| sudo_halt | I've tried Ubuntu 18.04, Xubuntu 18.04, and now im at Ubuntu 19.04 (I could use the safe graphics mode in the installer to install) | 19:42 |
| tomreyn | no text on screen before or when it does at all? | 19:42 |
| sudo_halt | Nothing. | 19:42 |
| n-iCe | tomreyn, done, I'm on Ubuntu, thanks. | 19:42 |
| tomreyn | you mentioned you saw the [drm:amdgpu_init [amdgpu]] *ERROR* VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modesetting. message before. was this with nomodeset set or without? | 19:42 |
| sudo_halt | With nomodeset, booting in LLVM Pipe, NO GPU acceleration | 19:43 |
| tomreyn | n-iCe: you're welcome, enjoy | 19:43 |
| Phruis | i need to forward port 22 traffic to a different port in 18.04 | 19:45 |
| Phruis | how do i do it? | 19:45 |
| sudo_halt | okay, now we have another problem: DPKG has issues with linux-headers-5.1 dependencies and wont configure it | 19:47 |
| sudo_halt | im rebooting anyways | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: the error message brings up the bug report ioria pointed you to, amongst other. maybe you'll succeed with linux 5.1.0 indeed. but this is obviously also not an acceptable long term solution. | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | good luck! | 19:48 |
| EriC^ | sudo_halt: did you install all 3 .deb | 19:49 |
| sudo_halt | got them all in one folder and dpkg --install *.deb | 19:49 |
| sudo_halt | well the kernel is installed, now its different | 19:50 |
| sudo_halt | It goes all the way to recovering journal, the screen fonts change, then it switches to a blank screen again | 19:51 |
| sudo_halt | At least it gets that far now | 19:51 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: try booting with amdgpu.dc=0 also | 19:52 |
| sudo_halt | lets see what happens | 19:52 |
| sudo_halt | It boots! Let me check GPU accel | 19:54 |
| sudo_halt | It all works! GPU and everything is working! Thank you all for your help | 19:54 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: can you please file a bug report about this? | 19:55 |
| sudo_halt | Yeah, ill get some logs and inxi outputs and send them to Ubuntu | 19:55 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu-bug amdgpu | 19:55 |
| sudo_halt | Or should i try the AMDGpu devs? | 19:55 |
| tomreyn | !bug | 19:55 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 19:55 |
| tomreyn | you can also file against freedesktop if you prefer. i'm not sure if it's a kernel or kernel module issue, yet. | 19:56 |
| tomreyn | ideally you'll file against ubuntu, then against whatever 'upstream' mmakes most sense, and link those reports. obviously that's a bit more work for you. | 19:57 |
| sudo_halt | That command doesnt work, no such package | 19:57 |
| tomreyn | which command? | 19:58 |
| sudo_halt | the ubuntu-bug one | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | pretty sure it should | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | oh it's what the command reports | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | use "radeon" then, or "linux" | 19:59 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu-bug radeon | 19:59 |
| Phruis | why is it so hard to forward traffic from one port to another? | 19:59 |
| lordcirth | tomreyn, I believe the source package name is needed | 19:59 |
| lordcirth | Phruis, why are you trying to do that, and how? | 19:59 |
| tomreyn | lordcirth: you're right. | 19:59 |
| tomreyn | radeon doesn't work either | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | libdrm maybe? | 20:01 |
| sudo_halt | is there such a thing as Ubuntu graphics team? | 20:02 |
| tomreyn | yes, i think so. | 20:02 |

| DOSfan | question: I installed a SSD to this computer (Ubuntu 16) , I ran Clonezilla (USB boot) and everything cloned ok. I want to extend the Ubuntu install partition since the hard disk I had it on was only 40G, so I read instructions pon how to do this (https://askubuntu.com/questions/116351/increase-partition-size-on-which-ubuntu-is-installed) ... | 20:05 |
| sudo_halt | I think i should file the bug against ubuntu's general bug reported and let them move it to the correct place | 20:06 |
| DOSfan | All I need to do is set a Volume label on this new Linux LVM partition, all of the devices have no volume label, so this command fails ... sudo e2label /dev/sda3 "Linux-Extend-1" | 20:07 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: just file it against xorg or linux then, it'll be reassigned as needed. | 20:07 |
| tomreyn | sudo_halt: you may be asked to run more commands later (after reassigning) to gather useful logs then. | 20:08 |
| DOSfan | maybe someone could help walk me though this last part, I think I just am not putting in the right commands | 20:08 |
| DOSfan | ah .. the pvcreate I can set the volume name ... maybe I can figure this out. | 20:11 |
| sudo_halt | and i have witnessed the first panic of my life | 20:13 |

| geirha | royal_screwup21: dpkg -l takes a glob, while grep takes a regex. So just lose the grep and do dpkg -l '*xyz' instead | 21:26 |

| tomreyn | brimestone: you want a hyperv support channel, not an ubuntu support channel | 21:50 |
| brimestone | thanks | 21:50 |
| tomreyn | brimestone: maybe search the web for "p2v" or "physical to virtual" and "hyperv", too | 21:51 |
| dStruct | brimestone: use vCenter Convert | 21:51 |
| brimestone | I tried that, but I need a vSphere | 21:51 |
| dStruct | brimestone: hmm, I have no idea what products you have, but in the past I have converted images using vCenter Convert, and then M$ VM Converter to go from VMware to HyperV format, sorry this is very off topic here | 21:53 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: i can try to draw a picture by reading up on the different details you provide, or look at the output of the commands i porovided and immediately get the full picture. i'd prefer the latter. | 21:53 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: you can pipe the output of these commands into nc and have it post them to a website. e.g. sudo fdisk -l |& nc termbin.com 9999 | 21:56 |
| dStruct | such a handy website | 21:57 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: ok doing that now ... | 22:02 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: Well better this way .. I understand how to do the commands and what the devices you are wanting to look at, just give me better commands for a list of the devices and stats on them. | 22:03 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: using fdisk -l I made this for you ... [/dev/sda1 (Hard disk) BOOT 35.5G Type - Linux] ... [/dev/sda3 (SSD) 201.2G Type - Linux LVM] | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: i don't understand why you don't just run the commands i listed, can you explain? | 22:09 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: Or if it is even easier for you, I can try to take screen shots and post them on the web somehow ... Well I am using that Disks program that comes with Ubuntu (I think), and it says the "Contents" on that partition /dev/sda3 is "LVM2 Physical Volume (LVM2 001)" | 22:10 |

| DOSfan | or that code posting site, ya that one | 22:14 |
| tomreyn | !paste | 22:14 |
| ubottu | 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. | 22:14 |

| ubottu | Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. | 22:14 |
| DOSfan | ya thatnks! .. that was the web site ... ok Tom what do you want now from me? ... post something to paste.ubuntu.com .. do I need to be a member, or can I post the results in a private msg to you? | 22:15 |
| Bashing-om | DOSfan: screen shots a often times difficult to work with . in a terminal type ' sudo fdisk -l |& nc termbin.com 9999' . You will get a URL in response - pass that link back here and we can access that file to see some pertinent info, | 22:16 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: i'll run some commands shown here, they seem to give the info you want ... https://www.binarytides.com/linux-command-check-disk-partitions/ | 22:16 |
| DOSfan | ohhh ok Bash .. thanks | 22:16 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: please just do as i said twice and as Bashing-om said twice | 22:16 |
| DOSfan | you guys B so advanced ;) | 22:17 |
| DOSfan | man is THAT cool ... https://termbin.com/tt96k | 22:17 |
| Bashing-om | DOSfan: No -- we too are learning - is a simple thing to follow advise. | 22:17 |
| DOSfan | Bashing-om: Yes sorry I didn't think help sopport got that good though , having an automatic URL generated like that is very impressive :) | 22:18 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: But like I had said, that new partition I made to extend onto is not listed in there , it's below in that type list as /dev/sda3 (Linux LVM) | 22:19 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: that's why i'd like to see the output of the other commands as well | 22:20 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: copy and paste this to a terminal window, then post the urls here: lsblk |& nc termbin.com 9999; pvs |& nc termbin.com 9999; vgs |& nc termbin.com 9999; lvs |& nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:22 |
| tomreyn | don't paste multiple lines here quickly, though, or you will get disconnected or temporarily silenced | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: sorry, i forgot to add sudo. | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | sudo lsblk |& nc termbin.com 9999; sudo pvs |& nc termbin.com 9999; sudo vgs |& nc termbin.com 9999; sudo lvs |& nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:24 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: lsblk - https://termbin.com/i98ov | 22:25 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: pvs - https://termbin.com/i34z | 22:26 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: you have primary partitions both before (where they belong) and behind the extended (indicated by sda2) area. that's not rally how things should be. it's possible that linux can work with this, i never tried. | 22:29 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: the vgs command just returns to a prompt .. nothing happens (I assume that a volume group type command, anyway nothing for a URL output, I ran it twice) ... the lvs command returns some type of syntax error for the NC command (This is nc from the netcat-openbsd package. An alternative nc is available | 22:29 |
| DOSfan | in the netcat-traditional package. .. so no URL either | 22:29 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: I understand what you said just now .. I don't know WHY it sets itself up like that (the dev/sda 2), but that's how this thing installed. Anyway that dev/sda3 does NOT have a volume on it yet, has not been formatted or mounted so I don't know what comes next :) | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: which parititons of those listed on the bottom of https://termbin.com/tt96k (/dev/sda...) existed before you made changes? | 22:31 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: The list of changes were the ONLY addition of that dev/sda3 .. all of the oringal is as follows ... dev/sda1 (Ubuntu v16) .. a SDA2 which I am sure has something to do with the swap file cause that is whre it always seems to put the swap file (dev/sda5) is in an extended partition. | 22:34 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: ok. now: is at least one of these two correct? (a) you have complete, current, known to be restorable backups of all data on /dev/sda. (b) you are willing to risk loosing all of this data? | 22:35 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: Yes .. I just finished cloning the oringial drive and it's out of the computer .. that clonezilla worked just fone so I can re-do this SSD if needed. | 22:35 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: ok. how did you boot the system you are currently working from? | 22:36 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: I used the power button on the front. | 22:36 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: kidding .. I don't understand your question .. I cloned the totally bootable working hard disk to this SSD usiong clonezilla and booted the SSD | 22:37 |
| tomreyn | so you've booted off the Ubuntu ionstallation on /dev/sda ? | 22:37 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: ummmm yes :) | 22:38 |
| tomreyn | okay, never boot off the same disk you want to edit using partition editing tools. | 22:38 |
| tomreyn | there are exceptions to this rule, as always, but ... not when you're at least somewhat new to linux | 22:39 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: maybe you didn't know this but that SWAP partition is infact in an "extended partition", another program I have shows it looking like that anyway, and there is a big blank gap of 1.9 Gig for some reason in there allong WITH that swap file partition. | 22:39 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: what you should do is this: create an ubuntu installer usb stick, for the same or newer version of ubuntu you have installed on the hard disk. | 22:40 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: I have one of thoes, I got the ISOs for v16 and v18 so thats all ok, both burned to DVD and boot ok. | 22:40 |
| tomreyn | !YY.MM | DOSfan | 22:41 |
| ubottu | DOSfan: 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 | 22:41 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: It's just how this computer is now setup, it's WAY past the point of doing a fresh install , thats just not gonna work, I got Plasma shell working here too and other awsonme stuff. | 22:41 |
| tomreyn | i haven't suggested you do a fresh installation. | 22:42 |
| DOSfan | I'm running the lastest Ubuntu 16 ... Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS | 22:42 |
| tomreyn | okay, we call this ubuntu 16.04 LTS (there was also Ubuntu 16.10) | 22:43 |
| DOSfan | ..."was" | 22:43 |
| tomreyn | so, again, what i think you should do is this: create an ubuntu installer usb stick, for the same or newer version of ubuntu you have installed on the hard disk.... | 22:44 |
| DOSfan | ok I got more laundry to get in ... just give me some commands to run for ya ..I'm runnning them all as 'su' btw. | 22:44 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: no point in that ... I have that clonezilla one I think I can boot to a linux prompt .. BUT if I do that I loose connection to Freenode/IRC. | 22:44 |
| tomreyn | the 'ubuntu way' is to use sudo, not su, especially when you're not a long term user. | 22:45 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: just give me some commands :))) .. we'll see what happens next .. brb laundry load going in ... | 22:45 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: Oh almost forgot .. why I am doing this .. few reasons ... (1) this hard disk was soooo slow and started to swap allot, this SSD is crazy fast so that's all good ... (2) Install more snaps/software onto this 36.G partition so I use up ALL of it and start to install more onto that new dev/sda3 Linux LVM I made. | 22:47 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: In other words, I'll be installing like 40G gig new software/freeware so I can get using that new partition since this SSD is realllly making this computer fast so why not install as must as I can (cd buring stuff, maybe some Autocad or such). | 22:49 |
| tomreyn | after booting of the live usb, select to start the live system there. then start "(gnome) disks" or "gparted", delete /dev/sda3, delete the swap partition, resize the extended partition to cover all available space. then create a new LVM physical disk in the extended area. | 22:49 |
| DOSfan | ok I got that ... I'll make that live USB stick | 22:49 |
| tomreyn | you can create additional logical volumes in this area as needed then. | 22:49 |
| tomreyn | another option would be to delete sda5, sda3 and sda2, and just grow sda1 to the full disk. | 22:50 |
| tomreyn | including the ile system on there. | 22:50 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: I can do all what you asked and I don't need that USB boot .. can't I just do all that in fdisk? .. dropping/remake a partition is kinda simple | 22:50 |
| DOSfan | mind ya I don't think I can drop the SWAP .. | 22:51 |
| DOSfan | can't | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: you'd be editing the partition table of the storage you booted form, this can have side effects. | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | you can replace the swap partition by a swap file. | 22:52 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: ok fine .. better idea , cause I think I can do this ... I can drop the extended AND the swap partition .. question, can I reboot then having only the main /dev/sda1 remaining ... as in will Ubuntu start without a swap partition, if so I can come right back here and talk to nyou again .. make sence? | 22:52 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: I have another computer I'm putting the SSD into and can drop everything but that main sda1 | 22:53 |
| tomreyn | it might not be happy to have a missing swap partition. worst case you will need to boot to recovery and remove the swap partition off /etc/fstab | 22:53 |
| smellsLikeGoatSp | Hi there, I am trying to detect my cpu temp sensors on a B450M Elite Aorus MB using sensors-detect. but it finds nothing. I am running ubuntu 18.04 | 22:54 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: and, after removing the swap reference in /etc/fstab, run sudo update-initramfs -u -k $(uname -r) | 22:54 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: So drop the folling ... /dev/sda2 - exteneded , /dev/sda3 - Linux LVM , /dev/sda5 - Swap | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | smellsLikeGoatSp: download a newer copy of sensors-detect from the lm-sensors github repository. | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: and resize the sda1 partition and file system to cover the full disk, that's what i'm suggesting, yes. that's not as flexible as LVM, but way less complex. | 22:57 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: well I am going to try now ... if this does not work I will try making a swap partition if Ubuntu fails tot restart ... if it's screwed re-cloning the oringal hard disk is going to take awile, probably an hour before I can get back here , that's if all fails | 22:57 |
| tomreyn | smellsLikeGoatSp: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lm-sensors/lm-sensors/master/prog/detect/sensors-detect # then (if you can, or skip it) review the source code, then make it executable (chmod +x ./sensors-detect), then run it using sudo ./sensors-detect | 23:00 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: it's ok if this machine runs like this btw, it does not bother me the sda2 and sda3 and sda5 exist. Question ... Can I clone that sda1 partition INTO a bigger one, like perhaps just make that sda3 a newly formatted 210G Linux partition and clone onto that instead ... it's just cloning a partition to partition which clonezilla can do, if that works I can just delet that 35.G oringal partition and boot to the cloned one. | 23:00 |
| bracham | Honestly the easiest would be to boot into live Ubuntu from USB, install IRC chat program and get back into IRC, then adjust partitions. Or don't do the IRC thing unless issues show up. But live usb is great! | 23:02 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: ya UI kinda like my ideas a bit better, there must be a way to use that newly made Linux LVM partition, dropping partitions and such doesn't get me anyway really, and what just remake them all over again, doesn't really explain how I get that 35.5G partition to get bigger anyway by dropping all thoes partitions. | 23:03 |
| lotuspsychje | bracham: there's kiwi irc webchat now if the user clicks community support from setup window | 23:03 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: sda3 is outside the extended area. it should not exist liek this in the first place, you should really remove it. then, to make use of the remaining space, you will either need to increase the extended area or remove it. any change to the extended area will require deleting any partitions in the extended area, namely sda5. | 23:04 |
| tomreyn | DOSfan: i will go to bed now, good luck. | 23:04 |
| smellsLikeGoatSp | tomreyn: I downloaded the git and ran make all, make install | 23:07 |
| smellsLikeGoatSp | it now detects the MB but I still only get this much information: | 23:08 |
| smellsLikeGoatSp | tomreyn | 23:08 |
| smellsLikeGoatSp | k10temp-pci-00c3Adapter: PCI adapterTdie: +33.8°C (high = +70.0°C)Tctl: +33.8°C | 23:08 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: I'm pretty sure that sda5 partition I made is not in the extended partition, only the swap partition is in there .. but hay I got maybe even a sinplier question .. | 23:13 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: I understand the partitions are not setup/looking right, but they do work and that swap partition is small anyway .. question is .. I want to just install more software, can't I just make sda3 ( the emptry 210G free) and when I install programs/software they goto that newly make 210G (as in I'll remake it as a regular linux 210G partition, so I just install softwere to there instead... BUT I don't know how to switch to s | 23:15 |
| DOSfan | different drive letter as it were to install software to there instead. | 23:15 |
| DOSfan | tomreyn: in other words I keep this 35.5G sda1 just as is .. it has like 20G+ fre on it anyway, I'll just let the OS use it, but how can I install more sofreware to a different area? | 23:16 |
| DOSfan | oh .. tom left me thinks ,.. it's ok .. this SSD boot super great .. I can't be happer | 23:17 |
| lotuspsychje | DOSfan: tomreyn said he was going to sleep, maybe consider re-asking your original issue to the channel? | 23:17 |
| DOSfan | stuff is ceap now to buy too which is why I did 2 other computers using m.2 SSDs on a pcie card for a desktop .. love this stuff | 23:17 |
| DOSfan | lotuspsychje: yup I saw .. sorry I look at the keyboard when I type ;P~ | 23:18 |
| smellsLikeGoatSp | thanks for the help. good night everyone | 23:19 |
| DOSfan | g-nite :)) | 23:19 |
