[00:05] Hello [00:06] HOw can i install an old realeas of ghostscript in my system [00:06] Id like ghostscript 9.23 [00:09] So?.. Anyone? [00:12] Cant believe nobody is answering ubuntu related questions, lulz [00:15] I see 9.22, 9.25, and 9.26 but not 9.23 [00:15] SirKK: Which Ubuntu release are you on? [00:16] Im on 18.04 , id like to try 9.22 [00:16] I see the program dev stopped in august 2018 and want to try older versions of ghostscript [00:16] SirKK: You can try override with something like sudo apt-get install ghostscript=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1 [00:18] If you need it to stay at a particular lower version, look into pinning [00:18] !pinning [00:18] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [00:19] genii the command is not working, doesent it says 26 is to be installed [00:20] 9.22 is in main. Does: apt-cache policy ghostscript show some different versions? [00:21] I'm seeing 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.10 in bionic-updates and bionic-security and 9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1 in main [00:22] No, only that one [00:22] Can i use the main software with 18.04=? [00:22] Maybe try running sudo apt-get update first [00:23] SirKK: Yes, I'm on 18.04 and seeing it as an option here to install [00:23] Actually, i do see a 9.22 but the source is followe with a 500 [00:26] Maybe you're seeing a different 9.22 version than me ( I see 9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1 ) [00:26] The following packages have unmet dependencies: ghostscript : Depends: libgs9 (= 9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1) but 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.18.04.10 is to be installed === mouses is now known as longcat [00:27] Yeah, that's where it starts now to get into dependency hell [00:27] Ok im uninstalling libgs9 [00:28] What's a good utility for making a gparted live cd in Ubuntu with minimal disk space? [00:28] Now reinstalling [00:29] Well its weird, 9.22 asks for libgs9 but libgs9 only likes 9.26 [00:31] When making a gparted iso bootable which one do I need x64 or i684? [00:31] Found a deb file [00:31] SirKK: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/ghostscript is showing there's also a matching libgs9 version for the 9.22, you would need to install it specifically first like sudo apt-get install libgs9=9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1 [00:32] ..although it may also have it's own dependencies which are currently at 9.26 [00:33] And yes, it does, libgs9-common [00:35] Dependency is not satisfiable: libgs9-common (= 9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1) [00:35] What now? [00:36] SirKK: Same technique. Install 9.22-specific version of libgs9-common, then libgs9, then ghostscript [00:37] ..every time packagename followed by version with an =versionnumberhere like 9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1 [00:37] Ghostscript 9.22 i had to look for a deb on google, couldnt get it through command line¿ Should i do same? [00:37] SirKK: The old debs are in the archives [00:38] archive manager? [00:38] I found debs on launchpad and i gdebi them [00:41] I have ghostscript 9.22 [00:41] Thanks genii for walking me through it [00:42] SirKK: If you need your version to stay lower than what automatic updates want to install, you should also look at that pinning factoid from the bot [00:42] Otherwise every time updates run it will bump up to 9.26 again [00:43] Well that is done somethint to the program i was trying to run the bug is different now [00:46] genii before deb were opened automatic by software manager when clicked on them, what happened to that?¿ [00:47] SirKK: I don't know, I always use the commandline [00:48] File manager is supposed to associate gdebi with package files though [00:50] genii i have pstoedit 3.70 is the one for 18.04 [00:50] Do you think i could install 3.73 ? Is the one for ubuntu 19 .. [00:51] Probably not [00:52] SirKK: I do see a PPA which has pstoedit 3.74-1 for Bionic [00:53] ( as well as for 17.10, 19.04, and 1910) [00:53] ..and 18.10 [00:53] 18.04? [00:53] Yep [00:53] SirKK: https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/ubuntu/pstoedit [00:57] Yup that worked, so cool [00:58] OMG, the program is working [00:58] So cool! Thanks genie [00:58] Glad to assist [00:58] I dont think it was the ghostscript, i think it was the pstoedit [01:03] Really happy, thanks. [01:36] how do I burn a .img file to dvd?

[01:43] If memory serves me right, I havent used it for a couple months but, in mono, you have a mic option too [01:43] in sterio you have just the two channels, left and right [01:43] thats my two cents [01:43] nope iy registers as a headset and is mono, it [01:43] loo in the settings and see if yo can set it to sterio [01:43] it's supposed to be sterio [01:44] uh huh [01:44] ive had two sets of headphones and they both regester that way. [01:44] and no in settings I can't change it [01:44] yo ucan set it to either mono with mic [01:44] or [01:44] sterio and yo loose the mic [01:45] it might be a limitation of the bandwidth of the bluetooth service [01:45] I don't need the mic [01:45] im not sure [01:45] i figured that [01:45] see if yo ucan set it to sterio [01:46] dose anyone haave any input for the CAM ISSUE?

[03:00] no [03:00] s0rcerer: with nvidia-settings you can choose between performance mode (nvidia) or powersaving mode (intel) now, hence your graphics needs [03:01] oh ok i see what your talkin bout [03:01] im in the settings box [03:01] which is better to use? [03:02] i dont do anything other then youtube and watch a movie on it here and there [03:02] s0rcerer: well then you might wanna chosoe intel, for daily use and powersaving [03:02] test it out, if your happy with YT performance there [03:04] cool seems to work fine with intel [03:04] thank you [03:04] great, np [03:04] s0rcerer: remember for your card you have optimus, its better to use the nvidia driver in the future [03:07] how do I write a .img to ubs bootable?

[05:00] nt0: Depends on how you quantiy "trouble" [05:00] *quantify [05:00] fructose: i am building a qemu vm for use in my gentoo host [05:00] not sure whether to use LTS and forget about it or use the new hotness and upgrade come january if i'm still using it [05:01] i.e. i have a lot of fun tinkering with OSes and coding [05:01] nt0: LTS is very slow to update. Upgrades are generally not complicated [05:02] i was already leaning towards 19.04, think this seals the deal [05:08] hi guys, I have installed VMWare, to host my Ubuntu VM. After a certain inactivity, I am left with a screen showing the date/time. Icons in the top right. How do I log on at this point ? [05:15] wow, really, you have to pull the page up ? [05:15] that is disappointing [05:15] neverblue: Huh? [05:22] howdy folks [05:22] I am running live from sd card on a laptop. when i try and choose to install the setup complains about there is no cd [05:22] I tried to mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1/cdrom and still no luck any help would be appreciated [05:22] what command can I use to show current primary screen's resolution other than xrandr (which is slow) [05:23] Mcl0vin: the kali image you have probably doesn't have the required drivers in its initramfs [05:25] nt0: thank you, I installed if from kali website. which image would you suggest i should download to be able to install [05:25] Mcl0vin: just use a usb stick if possible and save yourself this headache [05:25] nt0: don't have one :( [05:25] Mcl0vin: do you have a cd that you can burn? [05:26] nope [05:26] Mcl0vin: i'm not sure what to do then. probably should keep it in #kali as this doesn't have anything to do with #ubuntu [05:27] ubuntu might have a few OT channels where you can ask, though [05:41] HOw can I start a daemon at startup? I want xscreensaver to start automatically each time I boot. [05:42] Ascavasaion: startup items create: xscreensaver -nosplash [05:43] lotuspsychje, Where do I do that so that it runs each time? [05:43] Ascavasaion: startup items [05:48] Let me try...b rb [06:03] lotuspsychje, Think I got it sorted. Thank yo9u [06:06] welcome Ascavasaion [06:15] hello lotuspsychje... are you around? [06:17] well, maybe that user is not around. [06:20] in any case, I just upgraded a Supermicro to 18.04 LTS from 16.04 LTS, and now the console monitor does not display anything at all (after the BIOS and boot sequence do display, of course). swapping ttys with the keyboard: no difference. I can ssh into the box, there are no obvious errors (dmesg). I suspect a kernel mode set may be the problem ( [06:20] NVIDIA GTX 660), but adding nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel boot options does not fix the problem. the latest NVIDIA drivers are installed, from the PPA source. what else should I look at? [06:24] blogten: if you are using the nvidia drivers then a nouveau option will do nothing [06:24] indeed, has no effect. what else could I be doing wrong here? [06:25] I just verified that NVIDIA 430.40 (installed) does support the GTX 660 in the box. [06:25] replace nouveau.modeset=0 with nomodeset [06:25] ahh [06:25] sec, will try [06:26] the box is rebooting now, we'll see [06:31] nothing at all after the machine boots. no grub menu (set to "menu" rather than "hidden"), no ttys. [06:32] just went through dmesg and syslog. nothing interesting wrt video card. the NVIDIA driver does load. the monitor will blink with a white line during the boot process for an instant, but that's about that. [06:34] can you try another version of the driver? [06:35] 16.04 was working well with 418. will try rolling back to that one (although I installed 430 because 418 wasn't working after the upgrade). sec... [06:36] in fact, let me try booting the machine without NVIDIA drivers first [06:36] (thank god I can ssh into it) [06:37] good idea, try nouveau if you haven't already [06:37] sorry, what is nouveau exactly? btw the machine has never had a desktop installed, and I'm not interested in that... it's a server box [06:38] nouveau is the open source nvidia driver [06:41] ok, so now there's no NVIDIA driver. no grub menu visible, no tty visible, nothing. just blank. not even a blinking cursor. [06:43] dmesg says some stuff about a vesafb, makes note of video modes and so on. seems to be "working", the values make sense, but still there's nothing on the monitor. [06:45] I am trying to install libpng12 (for teamviewer12) and it gives me a weird error. Is there a simple way to force this or something? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j57k2Kh88t/ [06:46] you sure you want the 32 bit version of that? [06:47] blogten, yes [06:47] I know it will be messy, but I really need TW11 for work... [06:48] does /lib/i386-linux-gnu exist? [06:48] (btw that's where my ideas run out) [06:49] blogten, yes it does :) [06:53] I wish I could be of more help, alas no such luck :( [06:53] and of course that directory is writeable and all that, yes? [07:08] blogten, yes [07:09] I do believe my system was upgraded from 18.04 before I reinstalled. Maybe that has something to do with it... I will try in a vm [07:10] Maybe this is a good job for a container... [07:14] side comment: maybe one day, some day, there will be some general emphasis on making things simpler rather than more complex. that would be nice, for a change. [07:20] blogten, yeah :D [07:22] btw, nice: ubuntu 18 came with a gcc version that produces code that is about 5% faster than before (whatever was the gcc for ubuntu 16). [08:58] Hey all o/ [08:58] What could this be and it's full of syslog: https://termbin.com/r09l [08:58] 2331 lines in log [08:58] :D [08:58] Thank you for any suggestion :) [08:59] You have things in your config file that were removed for your version of rsyslog. [09:01] ikanobori: Whu ones? [09:01] Which* [09:01] Which config file I mean [09:02] That depends on the version of rsyslog you're using and what's in your configuration file, the omfile things are described here: https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/omfile.html [09:02] Thank you very much. Diggin in [09:03] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1066997/every-few-minutes-rsyslog-outputs-rsyslogd-action-action-3-resumed-module [09:03] Is how I found that link, by the way. [09:03] There's a few things online about those types of errors and they all relate to rsyslog misconfiguration. [09:03] Perhaps some lines stayed when you updated or such. [09:05] Already checked that link before, but didn't help [09:05] * V7 reads about omfile configuration above [09:10] hi, why would the GRUB boot menu not even display? (it's not set to "hidden") I suspect an NVIDIA issue, but the system worked better with Ubuntu 16 and since upgrading to Ubuntu 18 I can only interact with it via SSH... [09:12] #grub ? [09:12] ikanobori: Thank you, it seems you were right. It was configuration. [09:13] Cheers [09:13] Neat :) [09:18] maybe lotuspsychje knows the answer LOL [09:29] hello. Help me unscrew my system: doing `apt update` and `apt upgrade` resulted into `Failed to restart lvm2-lvmetad.service: Unit lvm2-lvmetad.socket is masked.` for me. I've googled the problem and found some solutions: 1. `sudo systemctl unmask lvm2-lvmetad && sudo systemctl enable lvm2-lvmetad`. Since `systemctl status` on that unit didn't say it was masked, `systemctl unmask`ing it didn't help. 2. `sudo apt purge lvm2 && sudo apt [09:29] autoremove && sudo apt install lvm2` - I've ran this and the problem only seems to be gone, but it mutated: [09:30] `apt update` tells me I've got 4 wine packages to update, but `apt upgrade` tells me: `The following packages have been kept back: winehq-staging 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.` and doesn't upgrade those 4. Why? [09:33] are those being held back at a certain version, i.e. marked "do not upgrade"? I had one of those problems before (not using ":" in aptitude), and it was a huge mess until I figured out where so many conflicts were coming from... [09:33] FreeBDSM: About the held back packages, you can do "apt full-upgrade" to force upgrade of held back packages [09:34] Also, check the packages state like blogten said. You might have put them on hold. [09:35] here's another one that's interesting... uninstalling the 304 NVIDIA driver leaves broken symlinks behind, grrr... [09:59] Is anyone successfully able to use google-drive-ocamlfuse with ubuntu? [10:04] blogten: how to check if those packages are marked so? [10:05] an easy way: sudo aptitude, then grep for the package names (type /, then put in a regex). when you find them, look at the first column. are they marked "h"? [10:06] aptitude is not installed :) [10:07] man dpkg-query is your friend then [10:07] anyways, `apt full-upgrade` results into the same [10:08] looks like dpkg-query l regex, then looking at the status column for "h" [10:08] eh, dpkg-query -l regex, then... [10:08] blogten: it's ii [10:09] does it say that for winehq-staging? [10:10] yes [10:10] for all 4 of them [10:10] winehq-staging, wine-staging, wine-staging-amd64 and wine-staging-i386 [10:11] what package repository are those coming from? [10:11] wine [10:11] you just upgraded the Ubuntu release, no? [10:11] no [10:13] if you type in lsb_release -a, what's the code name in your system? [10:13] 18.04, it's bionic [10:14] wait [10:14] 18.04.3 [10:14] in /etc/apt/sources.list, is there an entry for the wine PPA for bionic? [10:14] afaik it was 18.04.2 just yesterday [10:14] s'ok, it's bionic anyway [10:15] (maybe there's an entry for wine, but for e.g. xenial) [10:15] nope, just these 2: `deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main` `deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable` [10:15] what's in sources.list.d? [10:15] stuff [10:16] no wine stuff there [10:17] ok, somehow those packages got installed... if you got them from the relevant PPA (like one of those you mention there), some configuration file somewhere should know about that PPA... [10:17] I've been using winehq-staging and successfully updating it multiple times. Only this time I got this error :( [10:18] is apt aware of the relevant PPA?... [10:18] those packages were installed not somehow, but manually by me, I did it consciously [10:18] yes [10:19] well, where is the config data for said PPA? I would have expected that to be added to the system [10:19] `apt update` returns this among the rest: `Hit:8 https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu bionic InRelease` [10:19] what config? [10:19] huh, I wonder how it manages to know that... but in any case it seems like it's pointing to bionic. [10:20] it knows that by the line in /etc/apt/sources.list [10:20] it's not a ppa [10:20] aw crap I missed the first line :( [10:20] sorry, I thought it wasn't there for some reason [10:20] no worries [10:21] that's why I was wondering how did apt know about the package source if it wasn't listed anywhere (which it was anyhow) [10:21] the only solution I see for now is purging winehq-staging and then re-installing it [10:28] lol [10:28] is it an error in their repo? [10:28] `sudo apt install -y winehq-staging`: `The following packages have unmet dependencies: winehq-staging : Depends: wine-staging (= 4.14~bionic)` [10:30] huh, what is wine-staging? [10:30] a sub-package for winehq-staging [10:30] apt search finds it just fine [10:30] dafuq [10:30] is winehq-staging the main package one is supposed to install? [10:30] sounds similar to trying to install NVIDIA drivers using something other than nvidia-driver-xyz [10:31] one *can* do that, but it's not what one might want... [10:31] blogten: yes, winehq-staging is the main [10:31] no idea then [10:33] ikanobori: Hah. Didn't [10:33] Same messages [10:33] Duh' [10:36] `apt-cache showpkg winehq-staging | pastebinit` -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cgcvc8Yff3/ [10:36] looks not so fine [10:36] or I don't know how to read it [10:37] hmmm aren't those a whole lot of duplicates? [10:38] Hey guys so I tried to install Ubuntu and bricked my computer:) [10:38] how do others that work well look like? [10:39] ihatecars: Explain how did you brick and what happened. [10:41] blogten: IMO it's some recursive dependency issue [10:41] I manually partitioned and then it told me to install I would have to restart. On restart it got stuck on the blank purple screen for about 5 minutes so I rebooted and it gave me long black screen with a "kernel panic: unable to mount root on block [0,0] [10:42] do you recall how the boot partition was specified? [10:42] Then I went into advanced grub options and clicked the recovery mode for that kernel and it gave me an even longer white text on black screen of commands and errors with a trace error [10:44] sounds like some of the problems I had when I was asking the Ubuntu installer to do silly things like the wrong boot partition etc. remember you can restart the installer, tell it you want to try Ubuntu for a bit, that boots a working Ubuntu system, you can open a terminal, and then see what the installer did (and presumably fix it) [10:44] I used free space to make 2 ext4 partitions. One efi at 256 mb then the main at 10000 mb [10:45] Another weird thing [10:46] Whenever I reboot it goes to purple. I've gone into system files and windows is gone. I can't boot from the USB anymore either. If I remove the USB the computer boots straight to the grub command line with a black screen but if Ileave the USB in it goes to the purple grub menu, not command line [10:46] Hi I have installed chrony and I have edited the configuration file placed into /etc/chrony/chrony.conf but I see that there is also the same configuration file located in /usr/share/chrony/chrony.conf. The file have same MD5 checksum, I would like to know what is the difference? [10:46] Not system files, systems options and boot options alongside bios [10:47] oh my god [10:47] When I go into boot options and choose the SanDisk USB or notebook boot option they both show no is found [10:47] No os found, and then my os manager is now Ubuntu [10:48] strange [10:48] because of the purple, I would have said you need nomodeset as a kernel option [10:49] I'm just extremely confused because the manual partitions I set had no space used on them and I can't load up my computer any which way. I'm assuming my only option is to rewrite a Windows iso to the USB or Linux iso to the USB and try again [10:49] I tried nomodset, no avail [10:49] Nomode* [10:49] but I don't know what to make of that inability to mount the root device, that sounds like a partitioning issue [10:49] I read forums and it says something about initfrms file missing (not entirely sure on the spelling of that) [10:50] well ok so if it can't mount the root device, what is grub passing to the kernel for the root device location? [10:50] does that place exist? [10:50] did you have multiple ESPs by chance? [10:50] Do you think if I mount a new iso on that flash drive via Rufus I'd be able to boot the PC? Or have I messed with bios or something? I'm kinda not tech literate at this level lol [10:51] How do I check for the root device location [10:51] And what are esp's [10:52] you said you looked at the kernel options? look somewhere close by, there should be something like root=/blahblah... so, does that exist? [10:52] maybe you created the partition for the system (the 10000mb one), but did not provide its mount point... [10:52] Oh no [10:53] I used a mount point of / for the one [10:53] Idk about the other though I forget [10:53] surely there's a way to see what that is if you use the Ubuntu installer USB stick, then select the option for trying Ubuntu right from the USB stick you just booted [10:54] And I didn't look at the kernel options I don't think. I looked at the two boot options. There was the Ubuntu I tried to install and then the same Ubuntu with (recovery mode) at the end [10:54] ESP is efi system partition, i.e. is there another partition (e.g. on another storage) which also has something like the "efi at 256 mb" you created? [10:55] although I haven't done this, I'd like to believe it's possible to enter some advanced grub mode and see the entire kernel command line [10:55] I mounted the iso using Rufus. It won't let me try Ubuntu anymore, just boot in it. It installed it no problem but won't reboot [10:55] blogten, yes, push 'e' on the grub menu [10:55] Yes I can get that e grub command line [10:55] It won't let me boot from the USB anymore as if it wrote onto the USB as well [10:56] you can verify whether that happened by comparing the contents of the USB stick to the original ISO [10:57] How do I do that without a computer lmao [10:57] how are you typing this please? [10:57] Cell phone [10:57] oh dear [10:57] Call a Friend? [10:57] It's like 6 am [10:58] ok, more like Sleep a Bit, *then* Call a Friend? :) [10:58] And I just moved here I know no one. Maybe when my roommate wakes up in a few hours. If I can't get it working by tomorrow I'll just go over to the it desk at school and use their computers but I wanted to see if I could do anything without booting [10:58] ? [10:58] man that's tough [10:58] another option: a local hackerspace [10:58] It's not like a necessity. I just feel stupid lol [10:59] meh, it happens to all of us at some point [10:59] I work at a makerspace but it's 20 minutes away [10:59] how come apt install fails?

[10:59] I have no idea FreeBDSM, I've been messing with this nvidia / grub / kernel thing for hours and although I've learned a lot I still haven't found even how to track down what is not working [11:00] what was the trick with some ix.io [11:00]
