silesmi'm on bionic, but after installing the package i still see the following00:00
sarnoldsilesm: probably the fast way to find out is to apt install linux-modules-extra and try your modprobe again00:00
silesm`modprobe: FATAL: Module videodev not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0-1045-aws`00:01
sarnoldoh cripes I only got part of the name :)00:01
silesm`linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-1045-aws is already the newest version (4.15.0-1045.47)`00:02
silesmi'm currently trying to check out the bionic source and see if i can find how linux-aws is built00:03
silesmbut i don't really know where to look00:03
=== realDonaldTaco is now known as DetectiveTaco
silesmcloning via `git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/bionic` is taking a long time, ha00:03
sarnoldsilesm: don't do that :)00:03
sarnoldit'll take forever..00:04
silesmha :)00:04
spacetechnicianWhen trying to install Skype (skypeforlinux), I get: ``The following packages have unmet dependencies: skypeforlinux : Depends: libsecret-1-0 (>= 0.18) but 0.16-0ubuntu1 is to be installed''.  Any ideas?00:04
OerHeksspacetechnician, use the snap version00:04
OerHekshttps://snapcraft.io/skype00:04
spacetechnicianOerHeks: snap?  Is that like different repository?00:04
sarnold4.15.0-1039.41/amd64-config.flavour.generic:CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2=m00:05
sarnold4.15.0-1039.41/amd64-config.flavour.generic:CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API=y00:05
OerHeksthat one is maintained by the skype team00:05
sarnoldlooks like the configs *ought* to be building the module..00:05
silesmmhm, and they haven't changed for 1045 presumably00:05
silesmthe other side of this would be if i could get a generic kernel to work on the AWS metal instances00:05
silesmbecause i can get the generic kernel to work on the c5 series instances (i.e. c5.large), just not metal (i.e. m5.metal)00:06
silesmi'm wondering if it's because of lacking support for their nvme driver00:06
spacetechnicianOerHeks: I don't have the ``snap'' executable---so it's like a new package manager?00:06
sarnoldsilesm: hmm I can't spot videodev in the build logs on https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-security-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/17356701  :(00:07
silesmsarnold: but it was in the 1039 logs?00:07
spacetechnicianOerHeks: I can only find this: ``snap - location of genes from DNA sequence with hidden markov model''00:08
sarnoldhttps://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-security-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/1675340800:08
sarnoldyeah I don't spot videodev in there either00:09
OerHeksskype snap should appear in softwarecenter too.00:09
sarnoldsilesm: you may need to pop into #ubuntu-kernel for this one.. the module isn't in the package I downloaded :/00:09
silesmsarnold: thanks, i really appreciate your help!00:10
sarnoldsilesm: you're welcome, have fun, good luck :)00:10
spacetechnicianOerHeks: I don't see it in ``Software Sources''.00:11
silesmsarnold: oh, and how did you find those builds/logs?00:11
sarnoldsilesm: I started from the launchpad page for the linux-aws source package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-aws00:11
silesmahhh => builds00:12
spacetechnician``xdg-open'' doesn't work...  So how do I access Snap??00:13
spacetechnicianIs there a static binary that I can simply download?00:13
sarnoldspacetechnician: what are you trying to do?00:13
spacetechniciansarnold: Install Skype.00:13
sarnoldspacetechnician: cool; try sudo apt install snapd ; snap install skype  -- see if that gets you where you want to go00:14
OerHekslibsecret-tools 0.16-0ubuntu1 suggests that you are on trusty 14.04?00:14
spacetechniciansarnold: Ohh so it's snapd, not snap...  I tried searching for it in apt-cache...00:14
sarnoldspacetechnician: yeah, snap is for doing DNA analysis :) but you are a space technician, so I wasn't too sure if you wanted to do DNA work or if you wanted to do something else :D00:15
spacetechniciansarnold: No, just trying to install this stupid Skype on this Ubuntu workstation (I normally use Debian) so that I can chat with an untechnial person.00:16
spacetechnician* untechnical00:16
sarnoldI haven't heard about skype in ages.. intersting to hear it's still around00:16
OerHekstrusty tahr 14.04 is dead since April 201900:17
spacetechniciansarnold: Oh, isn't ``WhatsApp'' or something the current fad?00:17
akemlenovospacetechnician, you can just install the .deb file, download it from the skype website.00:17
akemlenovoI use it, no pblm with it.00:17
sarnoldspacetechnician: heh could be; I've got that, telegram, signal, google meet, all installed on my phone..00:17
spacetechniciansarnold: I've never heard of any of those three services.00:18
sarnoldspacetechnician: telegram's by the guy who set up vk.com, signal is by moxie marlinspike00:19
spacetechniciansarnold: I only know and use Skype, Matrix, and IRC.00:19
sarnoldspacetechnician: google meet's already been retired by google, of course, but they keep it around for business or something like that00:19
spacetechniciansarnold: vkontake?  The CIS (Russia, Kazakhstan, et al.) social networking site?00:19
sarnoldspacetechnician: yeah00:20
spacetechniciansarnold: It's interesting, major Matrix chatrooms (Linux, et al.) have like thousands of people, yet there are very, very few discussions...00:21
sarnoldspacetechnician: yeah; same funny thing with the matrix bridges into irc.. when the matrix bridge reboots, several thousand clients disconnect, and some channels have seveeral hundred clients disconnect all at once; usually there's only one or two people who actually talk with it though00:22
daxs/several thousand/25k/00:22
sarnoldspacetechnician: my personal suspicion is that the matrix bridges don't garbage collect users who quit, like, ever: first, to be more likely to have scrollback when a matrix user joins, second, to give the impression that more people use matrix than actually do00:23
daxapparently they clean out inactive connections after 30 days, but idk00:23
sarnolddax: heh, 30d is way shorter than the "never" that I was guessing00:23
spacetechniciansarnold: Oh, and then there's Discord, of course (proprietary crap).00:24
spacetechniciandax: Why is that?00:24
daxwhy do they clean them out? or...?00:24
sarnoldspacetechnician: heh, I always confuse that one with discourse :)00:24
spacetechniciansarnold: discord in discourse00:25
spacetechniciansarnold: doesn't sound like a befitting appellation for a friendly chat community ;)00:25
sarnoldhehe00:25
spacetechniciandax: I mean, so many thousands, yet very little activity.00:26
sarnoldI always thought the name felt funny..but hey, puns in computing, long tradition :)00:26
daxspacetechnician: oh. yeah, i have no idea how many of their active users are actually active. the numbers never really make sense to me either.00:26
daxrooms that aren't bridged to IRC don't ever have idle user cleanout as far as i know, so makes sense that those would be insane00:29
daxbut yes, there are a *lot* of users on the freenode<->matrix bridge, way more than the activity level would cause one to expect00:29
dax(anyway, we're way off-track for #ubuntu...)00:29
spacetechniciandax: I don't understand the point of consolidating everything to HTTP---why not have specialized protocols?00:30
spacetechniciansarnold: Oh how wonderful---no obvious executable name, cannot find file listing option in snap man page, and snap repository doesn't have file listing.00:37
sarnoldspacetechnician: ugh. how about snap info skype?00:37
sarnoldI'd hope just a bare 'skype' would do th ejob00:38
sarnoldfailing that, snapd works via squashfs mounts; mount | grep squash would probably show you the mount point00:38
spacetechniciansarnold: nope, doesn't print file listing00:38
spacetechniciansarnold: Seriously?  It doesn't follow FHS?00:39
sarnoldspacetechnician: it does not00:39
spacetechnicianJesus Christ, what is this00:39
spacetechnicianlike development testing?00:39
sarnoldlinux doesn't provide many mechanisms for atomically swapping between things; one executable in the filesystem is one thing, but when you've got N executables in the filesystem, there's not many options for swapping them all, at once, in one atomic step00:40
spacetechnician``/var/lib/snapd/snaps/skype_85.snap on /snap/skype/85 type squashfs (ro,nodev)''00:40
sarnoldmount points provide some of that flexibility00:41
spacetechnicianHmm ``/var/lib/snapd/snaps/skype_85.snap: regular file, no read permission''---so I have to execute Skype via snap?00:42
sarnoldyes00:42
sarnoldyou could unsquash it manually, but then you'd lose the seccomp, apparmor, and cgroup sandboxing, if any00:43
spacetechniciansarnold: ``snap start skype''?00:43
sarnoldspacetechnician: I'd have thought just 'skype' would work00:43
spacetechniciansarnold: Nope; so should I do that start option?00:43
sarnoldworth a shot00:43
spacetechnicianerror: access denied (try with sudo)00:44
sarnoldew00:44
spacetechnicianIs it safe to run as superuser?00:44
sarnoldwell.. it should, but it also shouldn't be necesary :/00:45
spacetechnicianerror: snap "skype" has no services00:46
hggdh/snap/bin/skype ?00:46
spacetechnicianhggdh: Thanks!  I had no idea that it has a root hierarchy point---so I'll add it to my PATH.00:47
hggdhspacetechnician: IIRC, it *should* be in your $PATH00:48
spacetechnicianhggdh: No, snapd installation didn't append/properly append the global shell initialization file.00:49
spacetechnicianhggdh: No big deal, just needed to know that hierarchy filename.00:49
hggdhspacetechnician: if you look at /snap/bin, you will notice that most are symlinks to /usr/bin/snap (which takes control, and finds the actual program to run (based on the filename)00:51
spacetechniciansarnold: Damnit!  This version of Skype exhibits like the same behavior---freezes at the credentials page :(.00:51
sarnoldspacetechnician: argh :(00:52
spacetechniciansarnold: probably that keyright lib or something problem again---I was hoping that snap would resolve it00:52
spacetechniciansarnold: It's not printing anything to stderr nor stdout00:52
hggdhspacetechnician: if it helps any... I found, some time ago, that the easiest way to run the current skype (at the time) was to do it under a Windows VM00:52
krukudilohow to change dns server?00:53
spacetechniciansarnold: probably can't run it under gdb00:53
spacetechnicianhggdh: wonderful00:53
hggdhspacetechnician: yeah. Skype for Linux sucks00:53
spacetechnicianhggdh: I remember using Skype for the first time in '06---it worked perfectly, and calls to landlines were free.  Then it seemed to deteriorate in stability more and more...and there was in-app malware spreading.00:54
sarnoldI used skype on a nokia 770 internet tablet around that time, it was fantastic thing, international calls for reasonable prices00:55
spacetechniciansarnold: Well, I'm gonna have to teach that person IRC then, unless it's a video call (then use Android for that).  Oh well.00:56
sarnoldspacetechnician: what a frustrating end of the story :(00:57
spacetechniciansarnold: On the other hand, we should all be using *proper* protocols and services in the first place, not arbitrary proprietary shit run by some capitalist parasite on their own servers.00:57
=== shadoxx is now known as HostileButtplug
hggdhspacetechnician: although I agree with the sentiment, please do mind your language here ;-)00:58
spacetechniciansarnold: Freenode imposes their arbitrary dogma (this time left-wing) upon users, but no-one is forcing one to use Freenode's servers...00:58
sarnoldspacetechnician: yeah, when irc is still the go-to communication tool..00:58
spacetechnicianhggdh: Oh, I didn't realize what the audience of this channel is.00:59
success95ubuntu why video card driver01:02

togapartyhello. What service is responsible for managing network interfaces on 18 LTS?03:37
togapartyis it NetworkManager or systemd-networkd?03:37
Bashing-omtogaparty: netplan is a configuration generator, for either NetworkManager(desktop), or systemd-networkd (server).03:40
Bashing-om!netplan | togaparty03:41
ubottutogaparty: Netplan is a network configuration abstraction renderer which uses YAML descriptions of a network to work with either a NetworkManager or Systemd-networkd "renderer". More information at https://netplan.io/03:41
togapartyyes. it's a config generator03:42
togapartyam I supposed to use that ONLY to manage interfaces on 18.04?03:42
Bashing-omtogaparty: Depends on if a server or a desktop.03:43
togapartydesktop03:43
Bashing-omtogaparty: Then it is managed through network-manager - the GUI.03:44
togapartyi'm also curious, when you first install 18, and do systemctl list-unit-files, NetworkManger is running, but systemd-networkd is not. Does that mean NM is managing interfaces initially?03:44
togapartyoh ok. so it is. and what about on a server?03:45
Bashing-omtogaparty: systemd-networkd is server application.03:45
togapartyok. So, if on desktop, NM is managing ifs, how come its default configuration file, in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, has a line that says [managed]false?03:46
togapartyoh sorry. [ifupdown] managed=false03:47
togapartythat is confusing03:48
Bashing-omtogaparty: If it wee true then NM expects that "you" "manage" networking :)03:48
Bashing-omwee/were*03:48
togapartyoh that's what that means??03:48
togapartyok. that being said, can you still use netplan to configure your ifs on desktop?03:49
togapartyoh wait duh. you said for either NM or systemd-networkd. ok03:50
Bashing-omtogaparty: Yup - You can take complete control of networking - if you have the knowledge.03:50
togapartyis that the best way to set a static IP?03:50
leftistmy input is not correct. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/W6RQ6GT9wR/03:51
leftisti am having problems logging in period03:51
Bashing-omtogaparty: "best" is to set the statuc in the GUI connection editor, .. As th how the system chooss which system to manage see: cat /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml .03:51
togapartyand what if the GUI is unresponsive for something like that? what would the 2nd best place be to set a static IP?03:52
leftisti'm forced tto use the onscreen touch keyboard and i dont wanna.03:52
togapartyBashing-om: if you were forced to manually configure the option03:53
Bashing-omtogaparty: A tutorial: https://blog.ubuntu.com/2017/12/01/ubuntu-bionic-netplan .03:54
leftistis it saying 2 methods of input due to it being touch screen too/03:56
togapartyah. Here's my confirmation: "Netplan replaced ifupdown as the default configuration utility starting with Ubuntu 17.10 Artful."03:56
leftistsee what i mean it gives me the slash instead of the questionmark.03:56
togapartythank you Bashing-om ! very helpful.03:56
togapartycleared up a lot of confusion03:57
leftistanybody..seveas03:57
leftistanyone have any suggestions03:58
leftistcomeon03:58

MiritHey y'all. I recently installed Ubuntu on my system with the "Erase the disk(s) and install Ubuntu) option, and every time I boot, I get "System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults. Creating boot entry "Boot000#: with label "ubuntu" for file "EFI\ubuntu\shim64.efi" where "#" goes up a number every time i boot. When I very first installed, it04:18
Mirit popped up a big blue menu saying something about MOKs, but I didn't know what it meant so I left it alone.04:18
shibbolethsay you've got an older install on a different part/volume/whatever and it was installed "with grub". i wanna keep it around but wanna "de-fang" it so it won't be messing with primary boot/more recent grub05:28
shibbolethmanually purging all the grub packages will prevent you from ever letting you switch to it as primary again so i''d rather not do that05:29
Bashing-omshibboleth: I do ' sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ' in my secondaries - update grub ' sudo update-grub ' and then finally in the primary ' sudo update-grub '.05:34
shibboleththen what happens if i apt-get upgrade inside the secondary and there is a grub update05:35
shibbolethwon't that mess with the grub in use, installed by the more recent primary05:36
Bashing-omshibboleth: Only effect that install ,, as os_prober is disabled will not propogate to the primary :)05:37
shibbolethit won't mess with grub in mbr or /boot/efi, won't mess with /boot?05:37
Bashing-omshibboleth: You boot to the secondary and run ' sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ' .05:37
shibbolethwill try. thanks. i just get the impression that if the secondaries grub version gets an update it's gonna try to replace the one installed by the more recent primary05:39
shibbolethlike, package update05:39
Bashing-omshibboleth: A lot depends on if these installs are on separate drives .05:39
shibbolethnot diff drives, sep vols05:39
Bashing-omshibboleth: Yeah ,, then going to still have th issue of last updated grub taking control, You may be interested in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaintenanceFreeCustomGrub2Screen .05:40
MiritHowdy Bashing. I'm back again with more Ubuntu problems haha. When you're done with them, mind if I grab your attention for abit?05:41
Bashing-omMirit: Sure .. what is up ?05:41
MiritLemme scroll up and copypaste, sec.05:42
MiritI recently installed Ubuntu on my system with the "Erase the disk(s) and install Ubuntu) option, and every time I boot, I get "System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults. Creating boot entry "Boot000#: with label "ubuntu" for file "EFI\ubuntu\shim64.efi" where "#" seems to change every time i boot. When I very first installed, it popped up a05:42
Mirit big blue menu saying something about MOKs, but I didn't know what it meant so I left it alone.05:42
Bashing-omMirit: If recent I cam '/last Mirit ' :)05:42
MiritAh :P05:43
MiritAfter doing some digging and research it's apparently due to HP's awful implementation of secureboot in their UEFI and I'm trying to figure out how to get around that.05:43
Bashing-omMirit: I have no UEFI experience - not the best here to advise on a course of action in this case .05:44
MiritAh, that's okay. Thank you anyway :)05:44
MiritIn that case, I'm gonna just keep going at it head-on until I fix it :P05:45
MrCrackPotMirit, sounds like you need to enter your bios and turn off secure boot install ubuntu then switch it back on05:48
MiritI'll give that a shot05:49
MiritI've been driving myself nuts trying to find a bios update for this PC, but can't seem to find one lmao05:49
MrCrackPotyou shouldnt need one if i remember right hp secure boot is in the security tab of the bios05:49
MrCrackPotyou'll need to disable that to remove the windows boot sector then once ubuntu is installed you can either leave it off or switch it back on05:50
Bashing-omMirit: I bet if you were to re-intall Grub to the install would do the trick.05:50
MrCrackPot^^ thats a better option that reinstalling the entire os05:51
MrCrackPotbut still requires secure boot to be off05:51
MiritWell, see, about that, for some reason when I tried to open things like the wifi settings (since my wifi network is hidden), it would show up on the left like it had opened but nothing showed up. That was on 19.04.05:51
Bashing-omMirit: MrCrackPot Good point :D05:51
MrCrackPotthe problem is secure boot and its not a problem its doing the job it was built to do05:52
MrCrackPotprevent people from installing a new boot sector or os05:52
MiritThat machine is currently back on Win10 again because I was trying to find a bios flash but to no avail. So I'm gonna have to reinstall linux anyway.05:52
MrCrackPotcan i know the machine your using05:52
MrCrackPothp ???05:52
MiritHP ENVY dv6. It was custom built so I don't have a model number beyond that.05:53
z1pgotta say, just picked up a 7th gen lenovo carbon x1 and it runs ubuntu 18.04 LTS *great*05:53
z1psweet machine05:53
triplebHi I heard of a new distribution not named ubuntu but using ubuntu with several interesting DEs. (I think it was 5 letters long starting with z .. But that may be wrong.)... One looked like a mac desktop. Does anyone have an idea?05:53
MrCrackPotMirit, 7246us??05:53
MrCrackPotMirit https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-dv6-Notebook-PC-series/5296055/model/531692805:54
MiritMrCrackPot: HP ENVY dv6t-7300 CTO Quad Edition Notebook PC is what comes up when I enter the product number shown in the bios.05:55
MrCrackPotaltthough before you go updating the bios as i mentioned previously turn off secure boot in bios then reinstall grub05:55
MiritAnd in the link you posted, I can't find an actual bios update. Just an amalgamation of other drivers. I'll try the secureboot thing tho05:55
triplebMirit: how do I find the windows product key from the ubuntu partition?05:56
MiritNo idea, I'm here for support too. Lmao05:56
MrCrackPotMirit, for that bios there is no bios update so your good to go turn off secure boot install grub everything should be fine05:56
MrCrackPottripleb, https://askubuntu.com/questions/953126/can-i-recover-my-windows-product-key-from-ubuntu05:58

triplebMrCrackPot: i dont ask here without using google. AND that link doesnt answer, refers elsewhere, and is for a differwnt version of Windows. - Still I appreciate every wonderful person here and all the help I have gotten over the last 12 years and will persist.06:02
MrCrackPoti mean i get a question should be answered but sometimes isnt it better to teach a man to fish rather than give him a fish06:02
triplebI actually have great fu, google inc.06:03
MrCrackPottripleb, doesnt matter if its different version theyre pretty much the same06:03
MrCrackPotyou just need the locations which are easy to find06:03
MrCrackPotuse the tool mentioned then find your windows versions file location and it works06:03
triplebAnd sincer thanks. I got bashed an reddit by helping and then saying but here is how to find out yrself. (formatting help)06:04
tomreyntripleb: did the link which the one you were given points to, help, though? https://askubuntu.com/questions/233181/retrieve-windows-8-product-key-from-mainboard - the second answer looks like it could work.06:04
MrCrackPotit works i have this in bookmarks hahaha06:04
MrCrackPotits just the locations that differe06:04
triplebUes I read that already. It was lower down in your first link. It said ask in a windows sub. Meanwhile I will phone HP. Windows 10 (not 8)06:05
MrCrackPottripleb get used to it we get bashed for spoonfeeding bashed for teaching how to and then bashed for suggesting a specific search engine06:05
MrCrackPotwhat to do06:06
MrCrackPotsmile and wave smile and wave06:06
tripleb& just to be helpful, MS now provides oem versions.. Oj if i remember they get a free month so I can use the inside windows instructions ONLY IF it is built into ROM.06:07
triplebCHANGE: Has anyone used the VM linux now built into Windows 10? In the HP I have Ubuntu cant see anything but a very close wifi.06:08
triplebWhile Windows can see 20 netowrks.06:08
MrCrackPoti havent used windows in years linux is my main os has been for more than 20 years06:09
MrCrackPotbut you can install ubuntu from the app store06:09
MrCrackPoti did watch a video recently on youtube about it06:09

ubottutripleb: Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide06:09

MiritSo uh, my goal in using Ubuntu here is to run a server for a game. Specifically, Ark Server Manager through WINE. Do I need to install the "third party applications"?06:17
MiritEr, rather, "Third party software for graphics and wifi hardware and additional media formats"06:18
triplebMrCrackPot: All HP computers and tablets that come with Windows 10 installed activate automatically once connected to the Internet to make it easier for you to set up your computer.  Last search was hp.com how do I find product key windows 1006:20
triplebMirit yes.06:20
MrCrackPotno06:21
Mirittripleb: While I can't help you from the Ubuntu side of things, if you can boot into windows you can get your product key with either BelArc Advisor or MagicJellyBean06:21
MrCrackPotwell depends on the server06:21
triplebMirit i got my answer and posted it just above06:21
triplebWont he be using non-foss media if he goes thru wine?06:22
MrCrackPotMirit, is the server to play the game or is it so host the multiplayer games06:22
MiritTo host multiplayer servers MrCrackPot06:22
tomreynMirit: you probably don't need to install the "third party applications" the ubuntu installer offers to install some software through wine, no. note that we do not support software installed through wine here, though.06:22
MrCrackPotthen no you dont need any graphics06:22
MrCrackPotyou need a copy of the games server06:23
Mirittripleb Didn't see that you got your answer  already, sorry ^^;06:23
MrCrackPotand then recreate the server to suit the game06:23
MiritMrCrackPot alrighty. I've literally never used wine before haha06:23
MrCrackPotyou dont need wine06:23
MrCrackPotwhat game06:23
MiritThe server manager I use is windows only. and ARK: Survival Evolved.06:23
MiritShould I use LVM for my ubuntu install?06:24
triplebMirit No problem i just wanted you to see the final result.06:24
MrCrackPothttps://www.linode.com/docs/game-servers/create-an-ark-survival-evolved-server-on-ubuntu-16-04/06:24
MiritYeah see, the issue with that is I prefer a GUI approach. Command line and faffing about with config files isn't my jam.06:24
MrCrackPotMirit, depends on how often your going to update and or create backups and or want to re install using an image06:25
MrCrackPotMirit, then your server is going to be using a ton of processer and ram for no reason06:25
MrCrackPotlagging out your game06:25
MiritIf by for no reason you mean so I can effectively manage settings, update and change mods etc, sure.06:25
MrCrackPotif you want a really smooth experience go for a server set up06:25
triplebMrCrackPot: doesnt that link say install steam which brings him back to running the game on gui?06:25
MrCrackPotno steamcmd06:26
MrCrackPotdifferent06:26
MrCrackPothence the cmd06:26
MrCrackPotcommand06:26
triplebOk sorry thanks06:26
MiritI have six different maps/servers to manage all with their own set of mods. Doing that without a GUI is simply not happening, lol. That's why I want to run ASM through wine.06:27
tomreyncould you folks please get back on the channel topic? this is about ubuntu, a linux distro and the software it comes with.06:27
MrCrackPotMirit, dont be so afraid of the command line its actually much faster than a gui06:27
MrCrackPotsorry06:27
MrCrackPotim off now anyway06:27
Mirittomreyn Do you have a place I could go to ask about WINE-related topics?06:27
tomreyn!wine | Mirit06:27
ubottuMirit: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu06:27

maxhawaiiHi! I'm migrating an old server to a new machine running Ubuntu 18.04 (the old VPS provider is phasing out their VPS business, so I had to move to somewhere else).08:38
maxhawaiiOn startup, the old setup runs a upstart script which starts a bunch of node.js apps, which are all stored in ~/apps/08:40
maxhawaiiI'm trying to replicate that script using systemd08:40
tomreyndid you mean to ask an ubuntu support question there, maxhawaii?08:42
maxhawaiiI tried to...08:42
maxhawaiibut i guess phrasing a question is even harder than figuring out how to migrate from upstart to systemd08:42
maxhawaiiehh, never mind, i think i know what i gotta do actually08:43

carogaI have updated my software yesterday and now my ubuntu video card is not working properly anymore. This happend before (2 weeks ago) but was solved by updating the nvidia driver as well. I now don't have an update pending and have no working external monitor. Other than reinstalling the nvidia driver, what are my options?09:17
tarzeaucaroga: you have ubuntu nvidia drivers or nvidia nvidia drivers?09:18
tarzeaucaroga: dkms status says what?09:18
carogaI believe ubuntu, it's from the ubuntu repos09:18
tarzeauubuntu for some reason doesn't manage their package deps with nvidia and linux kernel headers. i'm avoiding that and just using nvidia cuda repo (since 16.04 LTS)09:18
carogatarzeau: dkms status states nvidia09:18
tarzeauyeah i know, they suck, they break, don't support the latest (immediately), can you copy paste exactly what dkms status states?09:19
tarzeaubecause it matters09:19
carogasure, hold on09:19
gst568923Hi guys, I would like to know if the PMF (Protected Management Frame) feature must be implemented in the intel firmware or iwlwifi driver?09:19
tarzeauyou can run /exec -o dkms status09:19
carogatarzeau: it says `nvidia, 430.26, 4.15.0-58-generic, x86_64: installed` and twice `nvidia, 430.26, 5.0.0-23-generic, x86_64: installed`09:20
tarzeaucaroga: and uname -a sayas? last reboot is how far back? does dmesg -T say anything about NVMI (or similar problems)?09:21
carogatarzeau: uname -a `Linux caroga-linux 5.0.0-25-generic #26~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 1 13:51:02 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux`09:21
carogaLast reboot: 30 minutes ago09:21
tarzeaucaroga: i didn't test 5.x kernel with nvidia drivers yet. i'm still with 4.15.0 there it works09:22
tarzeaui know 5.2 has a problem, not sure with 5.009:22
tarzeauand i also have 430.26 works, on 1080/2080ti, your nvidia card is what? lspci |grep VGA?09:22
TJ-caroga: according to DKMS you haven't got the nvidia module built for 5.0.0-2509:23
carogaI have the 1060m09:23
carogaso i guess my options are to switch back to the previous kernel for now and wait, or should I install the drivers from nvidia's own repo?09:23
tarzeauno i think now ubuntu is on par with nvidia repo09:24
carogaTJ-: is there a way to rebuild the modules for my new kernel, or would that mean reinstalling the driver entirely ?09:24
TJ-caroga: to build for the currently running kernel "sudo dkms install nvidia/430.26" (to build for an installed but not running kernel you'd add the kernel version "sudo dkms install nvidia/430.26 -k <version>"09:26
timplazCan someone explain why I am able to install any distro and use any resolution except KDE where I am stuck at 800x600 resolution?09:26
TJ-caroga: it's possible the build failed when the current kernel was installed. When you build it manaully you'll get to see an error report with the path to the log file to see what went wrong09:27
TJ-timplaz: presumably the KDE installer is missing something? Do you mean kubuntu ?09:28
hans_`sleep infinity` is undocumented (in `man sleep` at least)09:28
carogaTJ-: I will try this then. thanks so far.09:28
carogaTJ-: it instantly outputs the following after running `sudo dkms install nvidia/430.26` -> `Module nvidia/430.26 already installed on kernel 5.0.0-25-generic/x86_64`09:29
TJ-hans_: it does "...here NUMBER may be an arbitrary floating point number..." - infinity (positive and minus, and NaN are all valid. See "man 3 strtod"09:33
TJ-caroga: oh... you didn't show -25 in your earlier report09:34
TJ-caroga: is it loaded? "lsmod | grep nvidia"09:34
TJ-caroga: any boot-time problems? "journalctl -b -p warning"09:34
carogaTJ-: I did, with uname -a, when tarzeau asked me. But no worries. I will check. I think it was loaded, hold on09:35
TJ-caroga: no, I meant your "dkms" list didn't include showing that module for -25, only -2309:35
carogaTJ-: lsmod output http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TRQxJbkhmG/09:36
carogaTJ-: journal output http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yC9NHf264v/09:37
carogaI find it weird that I see nouveau in the output while I have that disabled.09:38
TJ-caroga: I don't see nouveau mentioned, and it shows nvidia loads: "NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  430.26  Tue Jun  4 17:40:52 CDT 2019"09:40
exportTJ-: could that be related to a simple Xorg.conf nvidia drivers used to be real fussy about?09:41
exportare they still fussy i should ask09:41
TJ-caroga: lsmod shows that system has hybrid GPUs (Intel + Nvidia) so I suspect that is part of the issue09:41
carogaTJ-: prime-select query shows nvidia is selected. Also when I run nvidia-settings it gives me all nvidia related options.09:41
TJ-caroga: look at the Xorg log, usually Xorg.0.log, possibly in $HOME/.local/share/X11/ I think09:41
carogagot it, what am I looking for specifically ?09:43
carogaTJ-: I could also try and reboot into the older kernel right? If that works, I am more than happy to do that for the time being?09:48
TJ-caroga: errors (EE) or warnings (WW) - you already say lots of CRTC errors reported by gnome-shell in the journal09:48
carogaTJ-: `cat Xorg.0.log | grep -iE '\(WW|EE\)'` -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CtmnSbRzQt/09:50
TJ-caroga: nothing amazingly concerning there so looks like it's related to gnome or display settings somehow09:51
carogaTJ-: I noticed that the `xrandr -q` output lacks a lot of ports.09:52
carogaTJ-: I will reboot into the previous kernel, see what happens.09:52
TJ-caroga: is it possible that Xorg log is old and the system has actually switched to using Wayland? check the timestamp on that Xorg.0.log make sure it is current09:53
carogaTJ-: `ls -la` -> `aug 15 11:11 Xorg.0.log`09:53
TJ-caroga: that looks current unless its a year old!09:54
carogaTJ-: my thoughts exactly ;)09:54
carogaTJ-: im going to reboot, brb09:55
olleharwhy is "sudo" and "su - root" different?09:55
olleharor "sudo -s"09:55
carogaTJ-: it now works.10:00
carogaTJ-: I booted into 5.0.0-23-generic (instead of 025)10:00
carogaTJ-: Anything I should look into for now, to see what the differences could be ?10:02
TJ-caroga: hmmm... something weird there. if the only difference is the kernel version that suggests some kind of regression10:02
carogaI'm asking a friend of mine to hook up a monitor to his device, he's also on -25 with 43010:02
timplazWhy cam I install any distro (ubuntu, Arch,Kali...ect) and use any DE (XFCE,MATE,Budgie...ect) and be able to change resolution but when I try KDE I am stuck with 800x600 only?10:07
carogaTJ-: my friend connected his monitor and it works flawlessly. So yeah. We got that.10:08
carogaTJ-: I haven't made any changes other than rebooting into the previous version10:08

linuxconformeri ran ncdu, but i have a lot of free space remaining11:58
JimBuntulinuxconformer, you might need to double check where the logs are being written as well as anything else for said service is being written. While you may have normal space available, perhaps it's not using that normal space for one thing or another.11:59

JediMasterpragmaticenigma, found the problem, it turned out to be a New Relic php package causing it after much digging through core dump backtraces. They've pulled the package we had installed, re-installed the latest version (which is older than what we had) and it's fine now14:13
JediMasterJust happened to come out about the same time14:14
pragmaticenigmaJediMaster: You may want to reach out to New Relic regarding the module and inquiry why they might have pulled it. With the PHP updates, their code might be vulnerable to an exploit after that PHP patch was applied.14:14

SKaplanAre the Changelogs for the FIPS versions of libssl1.0.0, openssh-server, libstrongswan, and strongswan for the fips and fips-update repos.

SKaplan"Are the FIPS modules a drop in replacement? Yes, the FIPS 140-2 certified modules should be a drop in replacement." Incorrect. The FIPS packages are versioned differently than the non-FIPS packages, so it's not a 1:1 replacement15:13

onomatopieHow can I make ubuntu accept the third mouse button as a scroller?18:06
joeriHave you guys managed to get the Ubuntu Studio package to work on regular Ubuntu?18:10
pragmaticenigmaonomatopie: A button doesn't scroll... it's a momentary switch, you need directionality to scroll, which a single button isn't going to be able to do18:11
onomatopiepragmaticenigma: I want to toggle the scroll on and then move the mouse18:12
pragmaticenigmajoeri: Do you have a particular issue you are working with that needs support? If not come join #ubuntu-discuss for discussions18:12
joeriWait whoops is this the support channel?18:12
pragmaticenigmaonomatopie: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/mouse-middleclick.html18:13

lotuspsychjek00l3th4n: for touch screen you might want to test unity18:21
WaVI have a bit of a sloppy solution for something that I'd like to try and improve: remote desktop. Initially I tried xrdp, but it doesn't display what's going on in the local session; it opens a new session. I have installed vino (the VNC server for those unfamiliar) on ComputerA (for this particular example), and when I am in a remote location I access ComputerA via SSH and enable a SSH tunnel.18:22
WaVAfter that is done, I use whatever VNC client on the computer I'm currently on (usually TightVNC) to access the VNC server via the SSH tunnel. All works well. Only problem is, I have to set my computer to auto-login my user name in order for the Vino server to start (in the event of a power outage or unexpected system restart)18:22
WaVMy question is, assuming that xrdp cannot view the local session like Vino does (if it can, then how?), then is there a way to turn Vino into a service instead of a start program AND enable the tunnel as well?18:23
WaVI've read so man Ubuntu forum threads that my head is spinning.18:23
k00l3th4nlotuspsychje, I didn't know Unity was still a thing. I can't understand why it works with a live USB, but not once installed???18:24
lordcirthWaV, I would back up a bit: Are you sure that you need remote desktop? Do you need a full desktop, or just one window?18:24
lotuspsychjek00l3th4n: i presume you talk about ubuntu-desktop with gnome right?18:25
WaVI don't necessarily NEED remote desktop. Its more of a convenience than anything. But I usually only work with 2 GUI programs at most, and I prefer that they were in the local session.18:25
k00l3th4nlordcirth, Yes, Gnome DE is correct, running the latest 19.04 build.18:26
lotuspsychjek00l3th4n: what you could do, is test this on LTS to compare18:26
lotuspsychjek00l3th4n: and/or install unity desktop and also test there18:27
k00l3th4nlotuspsychje, Yes, I'm thinking of doing that. I'd have to switch out my SSD to test this theory. I don't want to override my current system.18:27
pragmaticenigmaWaV: If the remote computer is on the same network you could use something like X-Forwarding in the SSH session to allow the program to run on the remote machine, but would render the GUI locally on the client/guest machine18:30
pragmaticenigmaWaV: A change was made in nearly all the Desktop Managers that makes it difficult for any remote viewing application (xrdp, vnc) service to start serving before a user has authenticated on the local system.18:31
WaVpragmaticenigma: If I were to access the computer remotely, 9.9 times out of 10 I would be in a remote location and not in the network.18:31
WaVpragmaticenigma: As a security measure I'm assuming?18:32
pragmaticenigmaWaV: That's not what they were addressing, but to a degree yes18:32
lordcirthWaV, so, if you were to ssh -X to the machine, and run your programs, would that work for you?18:33
WaVlordcirth: Idk, I've never tried X11 forwarding, but I'm assuming if I did it that way it would open another GUI instance of the program as opposed to using the already open local GUI instance?18:38
lordcirthWaV, generally yes18:38
WaVOk18:39
lordcirthIt generally works a lot better than remote desktop, though. You could kill the old one before starting yours.18:39
WaVIt wouldn't be an ideal solution for me, but yea that's an option18:39
pragmaticenigmaWaV: There is one caveat with x11 forwarding (X-Forwarding) is that it works best on high speed connections. Usually a local network. Over the internet, depending on the application, there will be considerable amounts of lag18:46
lordcirthIsn't that just as true with VNC, though? I found VNC barely usable over 100Mbit LAN18:49
WaVVNC works fine for me, tbh18:50
WaVthe way I have it implemented is not ideal, but it works.18:50
k00l3th4nlordcirhh, A bios update fixed the issue.19:01

TechnologicalHello! I just Fresh installed a new ubuntu 18.04 and while I was setting up the second monitor it just shows me a black screen. I can move my cursor into the monitor and see it has like a weird ass Black X so I'm guessing the monitor is being read but it seems to be missing something.19:54
=== popgreen is now known as panorain
TechnologicalI used the Nvidia Drivers from the Software and updates page as well. and setup the Nvidia X server correctly. atleast  I think19:55
TechnologicalI actually already had this running before but it doesn't seem to work this time around which is crazy.19:56
TJ-Technological: sounds like the X server is fine but the desktop environment doesn't realise the 2nd monitor is there20:04
TechnologicalYeah It's odd20:05
TechnologicalI'm going to try the nomodset fix20:05
TechnologicalOkay that didn't work20:15
OerHeksTechnological, is this a laptop?20:17
TechnologicalNah It's a Desktop20:17
OerHekssome have a FN key to switch internal/external/both20:17
OerHekshow about settings > devices > displays?20:18
TechnologicalThe Monitor works. But it just doesn't show a desktop just a black screen20:18
TechnologicalThe settings page does not show my monitor20:18
Technologicalbut the Nvidia X-server does and I enabled it from there.20:18
TechnologicalI can move my Mouse cursor into the black monitor and actually see it moving around on the other monitor20:19
Technologicalcrazy stuff20:19
TechnologicalAlso just to be specific the "Monitor" is a Samsung TV20:20
TJ-Technological: try creating a new user and logging in as that... if it works you've got a local per-user config causing the issue20:20
Technologicalalright Let me see20:20

jadaxhey, do you know about Ubuntu 18.04 compatibility with Ryzen series CPUs?22:39
jadaxI heard some gossip that Ryzen should run on kernel 5.x22:40
jadaxbecause otherwise zen 2 is not well supported22:40
jeremy31jadax: 5.0 kernels are in 18.04.3 IIRC22:40
jadaxwait, default kernel is 4.18 or something like that, isn't it?22:41
jadaxI'm not next to my Ubuntu system right now, so cannot tell22:41
jeremy31jadax: 4.18 is no longer a supported kernel in Ubuntu22:43
jadaxhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes that says 18.04.2 is on kernel v4.1822:44
OerHeksnew installs get 5.x, old non hwe give 3.18 iirc22:45
OerHekserr 4.1822:45
sarnoldI thought 4.15?22:45
jadaxwell, I'm really looking into understanding whether switching from kernel 4.18 to 5.x will give me any Ryzen (or zen 2) related changes22:45
jadaxwould you know?22:45
OerHeksand yes, for ryzen you would want 5.x22:46
jadaxdo you know why, specifically?22:46
OerHeksno22:46
OerHeksbut there must be a changelog somewhere22:46
jadaxhttps://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.2-5.3-Ryzen-9-3900X22:46
jadaxperformance doesn't change pretty much between 4.18 vs 5.x22:47
Bashing-omjadax: Bios update for the fix: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ryzen-3000-BIOS-Update-Good .22:52
jadaxI can update kernel to 5.x but I would really like to understand what's going on22:53
jadaxI've been googling around and there are other people who experienced system hangs on light loads (ryzen CPU)22:54
jadaxthe thing is - I did OC that system22:54
jadaxand I played with fan curves22:54
jadaxetc. so there's a lot going on22:54
jadaxand I want to approach that methodically in a smart way22:54
jadaxbecause ultimately I want this system to run OC and I want fans to be quiet (so slow rotating or not at all)22:55
Bashing-omjadax: ^^ is your bios affected ?22:55
jadaxI have ASRock x570 Taichi motherboard22:55
jadaxand it's been updated about 7 days ago22:55
jadaxI can double check if any updates showed up since on the manufacturer's website22:56
Bashing-omjadax: ASrock is one of the vendors that have the fix :)22:56
jadaxI was poking around kernel as I heard many gossips/myths that kernel 5.x enables some secret sauce for AMD 3 series22:56
jadaxI just couldn't find any facts on that22:56
jadaxlastest BIOS (well UEFI) on ASRock website is ttis: 1.802019/8/822:57
jadaxand I already have it installed22:57
jadaxso nothing new showed up since22:57
jadax1.80  2019/8/822:57
jadaxI'm thinking I will keep dmesg -w (continuous read) + psensor running22:59
jadaxso that way next time I have the system hang I can at least see some logs22:59
jadaxand temps22:59
jadaxguess what23:18
jadaxit's 4:18 Pacific time now23:18
jadaxjust like the kernel I'm running23:18
