[02:01] <CC66> will someone please tell me how to install multiple instances of this, https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc
[02:02] <CC66> or could I just create multiple config files and run them,
[02:04] <OerHeks> multiple anoying discord IDs on irc,.. or in multiple channel?
[02:06] <CC66> multiple channels and multiple discord servers
[02:06] <CC66> not meant to be an annoyance in the slightest ha lol :)
[02:07] <CC66> total noob with json and this kinda thing in general altho at least I was able to get the advanced config options to work properly :)
[02:07] <CC66> this is also the second time i finally ask and am thinking maybe I have a solution,  lke with tryin to setup sasl earlier
[03:14] <neverblue> hi guys, please direct me if this is the incorrect channel. I am generating a very simple website (teaching my son HTML). I have created the folder (/var/www/html) for the site, now I want to apply permissions. I would like him and I to be able to place files in the folder. I want to add his user to read/write, and I can continue to sudo. What do I
[03:14] <neverblue>  need to run on the folder?
[03:15] <neverblue> also, if I place the permissions on the folder using user:group syntax, how do I determine which group he will use to apply ?
[04:11] <sam_wong> I am having trouble with Unetbootin. Does any body has experience of using Unetbootin?
[04:14] <Bashing-om> sam_wong: I often see rufus recommended: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[04:18] <sam_wong> Bashing-om: Do you mean Unetbootin is problematic and suggest another tool?
[04:27] <Bashing-om> sam_wong: I have neen around here a spell ,,and yes so I have seen with Unetbootin. However, I can not speak from experience.
[04:29] <sam_wong> Bashing-om: It seems I have no choice after several unsuccessful attempts but to shift to Rufus
[04:30] <Bashing-om> sam_wong: Can not hurt to try :)

[04:31] <sam_wong> catbeard: thanks, guys

[06:47] <n8w> hey
[06:47] <n8w> ive got a problem with defining a custom resolution for my nvidia(gt555m) card. My monitors native res is 2560x1440, but the highest one im getting via the nvidia driver(v340) is 2560x1080. Ive tried the xrandr solution (newmode,addmode) without any luck due to error: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes). According to
[06:47] <n8w> this https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1029095/xrandr-addmode-hdmi-0-1920x1080_30-00-failed/ ,the driver doesnt support custom modes. Any suggestions?
[07:08] <TomyWork> i assume that bluetooth issue was patched months ago when it was responsibly disclosed?
[07:09] <TomyWork> the one that was publicly disclosed on friday, https://knobattack.com
[07:11] <Habbie> https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2019/CVE-2019-9506.html
[07:12] <Habbie> so, no
[07:12] <Habbie> not patched
[07:13] <TomyWork> uhn, wat
[07:13] <TomyWork> s/n/m/
[07:14] <Habbie> TomyWork, i'm not sure how to be clearer
[07:14] <TomyWork> i understand what you said, i just don't know why it wasn't fixed earlier
[07:15] <Habbie> the few lines of irc on that url somewhat explain that
[07:16] <TomyWork> hmmm
[07:16] <TomyWork> for some balue of "Bluetooth range"
[07:16] <TomyWork> value*
[07:16] <TomyWork> my finger need to wake up
[07:17] <TomyWork> what is meant by bluetooth firmware, btw. do i basically need to flash the bluetooth chip or is that referring to the binary blob linux uses to access it?
[07:18] <Habbie> usually that binary blob -is- the firmware
[07:18] <Habbie> that is not flashed but loaded
[07:18] <Habbie> at startup
[07:18] <Habbie> but i can't rule out that some devices could be flashed outside of ubuntu already, and then be safe
[07:18] <Habbie> i don't know anything more about the issue than you do now, to be clear
[07:19] <TomyWork> yeah by some definitions firmware is loaded from some kind of storage on the device and run on the device
[07:21] <TomyWork> then there's the question whether fixing the issue on one side alone is enough to avoid it
[07:23] <TomyWork> it's very unlikely that you'd get firmware upgrades for most gadgets out there
[08:24] <dionysus69> hey
[08:25] <dionysus69> my /usr/bin/env broke after I purge removed system ruby, I am using rvm ...
[08:25] <dionysus69> exact error: /usr/bin/env: ‘ruby’: No such file or directory
[08:25] <Habbie> env did not break
[08:25] <Habbie> you don't have a 'ruby' in your $PATH
[08:27] <dionysus69> I do, it is rvm ruby though
[08:27] <dionysus69> which ruby returns: /usr/share/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.6.3/bin/ruby
[08:27] <Habbie> are you running your script under that same environment?
[08:29] <dionysus69> rvm ruby is user space ruby, not system ruby
[08:29] <Habbie> i understand that
[08:29] <dionysus69> didn't understand the question then, it's first time I ever encountered such error
[08:30] <dionysus69> how do I manually remove ruby entry from PATH?
[08:30] <Habbie> can you pastebin a session in which you do 'which ruby; echo $PATH; ls -al $(which ruby)' and also try to run your script?
[08:32] <dionysus69> Habbie: https://paste.debian.net/1096511/
[08:32] <dionysus69> I didnt understand the last part
[08:32] <dionysus69> what do you mean by run your script
[08:32] <dionysus69> even apt-get update is throwing that error
[08:35] <geirha> Is your login shell zsh?
[08:35] <geirha> If so, it might be that PATH isn't exported for some reason
[08:36] <Habbie> ah - i pondered that, but in bash, it's either exported as is, or not at all
[08:36] <dionysus69> yes it is zsh
[08:37] <geirha> I believe zsh has which as a builtin, in which case it can access PATH even if it's not exported
[08:37] <dionysus69> but my zshrc is close to stock
[08:37] <geirha> what does    typeset -p PATH    output?
[08:39] <dionysus69> geirha: https://paste.debian.net/1096512/
[08:39] <geirha> hm, it is exported, so env should've been able to find ruby
[08:39] <Habbie> dionysus69, can you do: sh -c 'which ruby'
[08:40] <geirha> or better:  bash -c 'type -a ruby'
[08:40] <Habbie> but
[08:40] <Habbie> did you say the problem was with apt-get?
[08:40] <dionysus69> same /usr/share/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.6.3/bin/ruby
[08:40] <Habbie> because i strongly suspect apt (well, dpkg) does clean PATH
[08:40] <Habbie> i then also strongly suspect that your removal of system ruby is not allowed
[08:40] <dionysus69> dunno why apt broke, but i guess it is trying to do something with env var which didnt update correctly while purging ruby
[08:41] <Habbie> dionysus69, what does 'apt-get install -f' say?
[08:41] <dionysus69> same output with bash -c 'type -a ruby'
[08:41] <dionysus69> same error /usr/bin/env: ‘ruby’: No such file or directory doesn't go to apt part at all
[08:41] <dionysus69> breaks down before that
[08:41] <dionysus69> can I just delete usr bin env and reboot?
[08:42] <Habbie> what?
[08:42] <geirha> ls -l /usr/bin/env
[08:42] <Habbie> no
[08:42] <dionysus69> dunno how that works
[08:42] <Habbie> please stop removing parts of your system that it needs
[08:42] <dionysus69> i have deleted ruby in past :D didnt know it was needed
[08:42] <dionysus69> geirha: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35000 იან 18  2018 /usr/bin/env
[08:43] <geirha> same size and date as on my 18.04 system
[08:43] <dionysus69> I am running 18.04 too
[08:43] <dionysus69> how do I download system ruby es deb file
[08:43] <dionysus69> and install with dpkg? unless that is also broken
[08:44] <Habbie> please pastebin the apt problem
[08:45] <dionysus69> https://paste.debian.net/1096513/ full input putput
[08:47] <Habbie> that's weird, i don't think apt-get relies on ruby on my system
[08:47] <dionysus69> I dont think so either
[08:47] <dionysus69> env has to be a problem
[08:47] <Habbie> there is no problem with env
[08:47] <Habbie> maybe try strace -ff -o apt-get.strace apt-get update
[08:48] <Habbie> and pastebin the files that that writes
[08:48] <Habbie> so we can find out why your apt has a problem with your missing ruby
[08:48] <dionysus69> same error
[08:48] <Habbie> yes
[08:48] <Habbie> but now you have a bunch of files
[08:48] <dionysus69> that indicated that command fails at zsh level I guess
[08:48] <Habbie> oh
[08:48] <Habbie> try: sh -c 'apt-get update' please
[08:49] <dionysus69> same error with that too
[08:49] <dionysus69> or in case of bash too
[08:49] <dionysus69> do I pastebin those files?
[08:49] <Habbie> then please pastebin apt-get.strace*
[08:49] <ronnie> How to configure network-manager to connect only certain routes with openvpn. When i connect with commandline openvpn and my .ovpn file (with route-nopull) it works perfect (only specific routes are secured). But when connecting with network-manager ALL traffic is secured. I'm using ubuntu 18.04
[08:49] <Habbie> yes
[08:51] <dionysus69> Habbie: sequentially https://pastebin.com/5bRpyANW

[08:53] <Habbie> ok, i see it in 1) and 4)
[08:53] <Habbie> but i cannot explain it, sorry
[08:54] <Habbie> dionysus69, head -1 /usr/sbin/apt-get
[08:54] <dionysus69> Habbie: weird, why? #!/usr/bin/env ruby
[08:54] <Habbie> now try
[08:54] <dionysus69> apt-get is a ruby script? who would have thought
[08:54] <Habbie>   /usr/bin/apt-get update
[08:54] <Habbie> it's not
[08:55] <Habbie> except on your system!
[08:55] <dionysus69> I havent touched that file
[08:55] <Habbie> well, something did
[08:55] <Habbie> dpkg -S /usr/sbin/apt-get
[08:56] <dionysus69> kde neon here
[08:56] <geirha> I know there are some apt-/dpkg- commands that are written in python, but didn't know there were ruby ones too
[08:56] <dionysus69> but base is 18.04
[08:56] <Habbie> dionysus69, what does dpkg -S say?
[08:56] <bastiaan> question about nvidia driver from graphics-drivers PPA: it seems that version 418 is now depending on 430 and kernel 5.0.0. is there a way to prevent this (voor ubuntu 18.04)
[08:56] <Habbie> no ubuntu packages provide /usr/sbin/apt-get
[08:57] <dionysus69> neon-settings: /usr/sbin/apt-get
[08:57] <geirha> oh my
[08:57] <Habbie> apt policy neon-settings
[08:57] <Habbie> please
[08:57] <dionysus69> aha
[08:57] <dionysus69> got the problenm
[08:57] <Habbie> yay
[08:58] <dionysus69> geirha, Habbie: https://paste.debian.net/1096523/ they check if I am running upgrade by a ruby script
[08:58] <dionysus69> thus system ruby is required
[08:58] <Habbie> ok
[08:58] <Habbie> so that's a bug in neon-settings
[08:58] <Habbie> wherever it came from
[08:58] <dionysus69> I will install ruby with /usr/bin/apt-get install I guess, your tips were invalueable!
[08:58] <Habbie> you should report that bug
[08:58] <dionysus69> Habbie: they just didnt consider a scenario where system ruby is missing
[08:58] <Habbie> yes
[08:58] <dionysus69> script should check for other ruby versions, it's a distribution after all
[08:58] <Habbie> that's a bug
[08:58] <Habbie> that you should report
[08:59] <dionysus69> thanks allot again!
[08:59] <dionysus69> will report
[09:00] <Habbie> you're welcome :)
[09:04] <mystic> any essential recommended apps for ubuntu?   i have a nice smooth installation now.. just looking for good apps
[09:32] <Cheez> well... what do you want to do?
[09:37] <Cheez> mystic: you might also want to try #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:39] <mystic> anything really, just godo to hasve good working app.. and ok
[09:48] <ayekat> mystic: rule of thumb: get clear about what you want to do, and *then* pick the right tools for that - not the other way around
[10:18] <talin> hello. i have an ubuntu version of glib, but i'd like to install the same one, but with debugging symbols
[10:19] <Habbie> !debug
[10:20] <Habbie> !debugsymbols
[10:20] <Habbie> oh well
[10:20] <Habbie> talin, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages
[10:23] <manARMy> I like Ubuntu. Just one thing I struggle with: ptrace access denied. So gdb needs root
[10:24] <manARMy> Lucky I have root access here
[10:35] <talin> Habbie: thank you
[10:36] <talin> heh, i installed openbox, and when i do an ambiguous tab-completion or press backspace when there are no remaining characters in an xterm, i get a super ugly sound and the terminal freezes for like 1 second per letter i input. does anyone have any idea how to identify what package is doing this?
[11:08] <V7> Could anyone suggest how to get rid of systemd-resolve's messages in syslog like: https://termbin.com/u2ym
[11:08] <V7> Hey all o/
[11:17] <yankovic> Hi. I try to use preseed file to install ubuntu. I use "d-i mirror/http/proxy string" to set proxy, but after installation is finished and I boot into ubuntu I see that apt is not configured to work with proxy. How I can configure proxy on final system using preseed?
[11:17] <V7> Already relinked /etc/resolv.conf and reinstalled resolvconf
[11:18] <V7> yankovic: You can add scripts to run after installation
[11:18] <V7> This might be the simpliest way
[11:19] <yankovic> V7: maybe you are right
[13:07] <ihatecars> so I finally got ubuntu to work and everything, 18.04 but.... my laptop is an hp omen using a nvidia 1050 mobile graphics card and I've tried installing all the different recommended drivers to no avail.  Everything works fine but I can't change the scaling which is terrible becauae it's in 4k
[13:08] <ihatecars> I can change the scaling from 100% to 200, 300, or 400 ,but nothing in between.  It's terrible, 200 is so large and slows down the pc but 100 is so small.  I looked at a few posts about fractional scaling but none of the solutions worked
[13:12] <EriC^^> ihatecars: did you try some different resolution?
[13:18] <ihatecars> lmao i just made a small mistake there
[13:20] <ihatecars> EriC^^   in the settings the only option for resolution is 3840x2160, I cannot change it to anything else.  I also tried to to the workaround in the terminal by using some thing I found online but it didn't work either
[13:20] <Cheez> has something just happened to the ubuntu mirrors? i've been using them all morning without issue and now suddenly i'm barely hitting 700Kib/s
[13:20] <Cheez> uk.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com from the uk and from the us are suddenly insanely slow
[13:20] <ihatecars> I also tried the workaround where you increase the scaling to 200 and then use the terminal to zoom out but it doesn't let me because it would "increase the resolution"
[13:21] <EriC^^> ihatecars: do you want to try 1920x1080?
[13:21] <ihatecars> yes
[13:21] <EriC^^> ihatecars: pastebin "xrandr -q"
[13:21] <ihatecars> pastebin?
[13:22] <EriC^^> !paste | ihatecars
[13:23] <ihatecars> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/85BNj8bXhs/
[13:24] <EriC^^> ihatecars: are you using sudo with the command or from a root shell by any chance?
[13:24] <ihatecars> should i have put sudo in front of that
[13:24] <ihatecars> im new to this whole thing
[13:25] <ihatecars> the command I used was "xrandr -q" without sudo
[13:25] <EriC^^> no, that's fine
[13:26] <ihatecars> oh okay
[13:27] <ihatecars> ive installed the 430 nvidia driver and i cant use wayland.  Then I purged them and installed the 390 driver and when i rebooted i got a login loop on unity, ubuntu normal and then wayland so I had to reveret to an oklder kernel for this boot
[13:28] <ihatecars> older as in it was installed 3 hours ago instead of 2 lmao
[13:30] <EriC^^> ihatecars: are you using wayland right now?
[13:30] <ihatecars> no I get a login loop on wayland
[13:30] <EriC^^> oh ok
[13:31] <ihatecars> im on normal ubuntu right now and then I have unity desktop installed because apparently it was a workaround but it didnt work for me
[13:31] <EriC^^> ihatecars: try "xrandr --newmode "1080p" 169.00  1920 2040 2240 2560  1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync"
[13:31] <ihatecars> I tried that earlier and it yelled at me
[13:32] <ihatecars> xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[13:33] <beaver_> !info linux-image-generic bionic
[13:33] <EriC^^> ihatecars: what does "sudo lshw -c video | nc termbin.com 9999" give?

[13:36] <EriC^^> ihatecars: hmm unclaimed display is a problem
[13:36] <EriC^^> ihatecars: what kernel are you using? "uname -r"
[13:37] <ihatecars> 4.15.0-58-generic
[13:37] <ihatecars> there is a 4.2 one installed but when I boot into it I get login loops on all three, ubuntu default, unity and wayland
[13:40] <bastiaan> I also have problems with nvidia since this week
[13:40] <bastiaan> its depending on kernel 5.0.0 causing all kind of problems
[13:41] <bastiaan> since last week
[13:41] <EriC^^> ihatecars: what does "(cat /proc/cmdline; sudo ubuntu-drivers devices; dpkg -l | grep -E "nvidia|linux") | nc termbin.com 9999" give?
[13:42] <ihatecars> https://termbin.com/g1xl
[13:42] <ihatecars> oh yes not 4.2, 5.0, im dumb
[13:43] <bastiaan> someone reading this line?
[13:43] <rafibd01717> hi guys
[13:43] <ihatecars> reading what line
[13:44] <bastiaan> thanks :)
[13:44] <rafibd01717> I use Gimp in Windows. My GIMP was slow in Windows
[13:44] <bastiaan> just wanna be sure I'm not in mute mode here or something.
[13:44] <EriC^^> ihatecars: try "cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:44] <rafibd01717> So that I deleted font cash folder from C:\Users\rafi\AppData\Local\fontconfig
[13:45] <rafibd01717> Now I see gimp startup is slow in my ubuntu too
[13:45] <ihatecars> cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:45] <ihatecars> https://termbin.com/tjs7
[13:45] <rafibd01717> I wanna delete GIMP font cash foders in Ubuntu too
[13:45] <rafibd01717> how can I do this
[13:45] <rafibd01717> Can anyone give me link of the GIMP fontcash folder on Ubuntu?
[13:46] <bastiaan> ~/.cache/fontconfig ?
[13:46] <EriC^^> ihatecars: type "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" edit the line that says "quiet splash nomodeset" to "quiet splash" then save
[13:46] <ihatecars> AHHHHHHHH
[13:46] <ihatecars> i swear if that works ima cry
[13:47] <EriC^^> dont reboot yet
[13:47] <ihatecars> how do i save the heck
[13:49] <ihatecars> EriC^^how do i save this
[13:49] <EriC^^> ihatecars: ctrl+o
[13:49] <rafibd01717> Nobody talking to me.. :(
[13:50] <ihatecars> okay thats written out then
[13:50] <ihatecars> rafibd01717 bastiaan was, he said that file location for you
[13:50] <EriC^^> ihatecars: type "sudo update-grub"
[13:51] <ihatecars> EriC^^aight done
[13:51] <rafibd01717> Ahh I didn't see it
[13:51] <EriC^^> ihatecars: type "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*"
[13:52] <rafibd01717> bastiaan
[13:52] <EriC^^> ihatecars: actually sudo apt-get purge 'nvidia*'
[13:52] <ihatecars> whats the difference
[13:52] <rafibd01717> You mean I can delete everything from ~/.cache/fontconfig to get GIMP quick startup?
[13:53] <EriC^^> ihatecars: well, if you have a file that starts with nvidia in that dir, bash would expand the word to that, instead of passing the "*" to apt-get
[13:53] <ihatecars> yes that totally makes sense :P
[13:53] <rafibd01717> bastiaan inside C:\Users\Rafi\AppData\Local\fontconfig\cache I see .cash7 files.
[13:54] <rafibd01717> so this can be deleted safely right?
[13:54] <ihatecars> EriC^^aight its purged
[13:54] <ihatecars> you gonna have me run the autoinstall or manually install driver
[13:55] <EriC^^> ihatecars: autoinstall
[13:55] <EriC^^> ihatecars: try sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[13:56] <ihatecars> it installed 430
[13:56] <EriC^^> alright
[13:56] <EriC^^> this is ubuntu 18.04 right?
[13:56] <ihatecars> yes
[13:57] <EriC^^> alright
[13:57] <EriC^^> ihatecars: try booting into 4.15.0-58 see what happens
[13:57] <ihatecars> roger that brb
[13:58] <EriC^^> ihatecars: actually hold that thought
[13:58] <ihatecars> okay
[13:58] <EriC^^> ah nevermind
[13:58] <EriC^^> give it a shot :)
[13:58] <ihatecars> i said brb and went to type reboot but the process was still running XD
[13:58] <ihatecars> aight
[14:02] <ihatecars> EriC^^ can i buy you a pizza
[14:03] <pizzaiolo> ihatecars i'll sell you one
[14:03] <ihatecars> :O
[14:03] <rafibd01717> Pizzas are delicious
[14:04] <EriC^^> xD
[14:05] <rafibd01717> If I delete all files from ~/.cache/fontconfig folder will it be a skyfall on my head?
[14:05] <EriC^^> ihatecars: might as well run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" if it's a new system, get it all up to date if you havent already
[14:06] <ihatecars> so how would i make it boot into the 4.15 every time
[14:06] <rud0lf> rafibd01717: dare to try this? https://pub.leopard.ovh/yum.jpg
[14:07] <rud0lf> i use this picture to mock italian friends
[14:07] <rafibd01717> what are those round things?
[14:07] <EriC^^> ihatecars: did you try the 5.0-25 one? it might work too
[14:08] <ihatecars> rafibd01717looks like banana slices
[14:08] <rafibd01717> ihatecars I am not going to taste it
[14:09] <ihatecars> no but im gonna try it right now
[14:09] <ihatecars> see if it boots without me javing to go into grub
[14:09] <ihatecars> also rafibd01717 I feel bad for you youre asking that question and nobody can help you lol
[14:10] <rafibd01717> yeah :(
[14:10] <EriC^^> rafibd01717: you could do "mv ~/.cache/fontconfig ~/.cache/fontconfig.backup" and see what happens if it goes wrong you have a backup of it
[14:11] <EriC^^> i dont think anything bad will happen, usually you're able to delete all configs in your home dir and you'll login, you'll just be missing some custom settings you did and it'd be back to bone stock
[14:11] <rafibd01717> EriC^^ Thanks man
[14:12] <EriC^^> no problem rafibd01717
[14:12] <ihatecars> so that worked too nice i love this
[14:12] <EriC^^> great :D
[14:13] <ihatecars>  I get to setup vscode =# =#
[14:13] <ihatecars> I couldnt even get that working on windows XD
[14:14] <EriC^^> oh boy :D
[14:14] <EriC^^> why don't you like cars? or is it like a sarcastic nick? :D
[14:20] <ihatecars> EriC^^I made this nick when I was working on my old honda and I had no idea what was wrong with it.  Huge clicking from electric load in the engine bay and no power anywhere.  So I came to irc for help and they didn't know either
[14:21] <ihatecars> EriC^^   but I in no way hate cars, I love them, I was going to school with dreams of being an automotive engineer
[14:24] <bastiaan> rafibd01717: I think actually everything in ~/.cache/ folder can be removed without problem
[14:24] <bastiaan> as it should be cache and be regenereated
[14:24] <bastiaan> although it can cost some CPU power or internet bandwidth
[14:24] <rafibd01717> bastiaan thanks for the confirmation.
[14:25] <rafibd01717> bastiaan is this path same for all versions of Linux distros?
[14:26] <Mondo> My default apps do NOT open a file when dbl-click. But, rt-click and open with the same app works!
[14:26] <bastiaan> yes, modern ones
[14:26] <bastiaan> see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/file-hierarchy.html#/var/cache/
[14:27] <bastiaan> and if you search for ".cache" you'll see the same
[14:27] <bastiaan> on that page
[14:27] <rafibd01717> bastiaan Thousands of thanks man
[14:27] <bastiaan> yw :)
[14:30] <bastiaan> EriC^^, ihatecars : btw, my problem loosely related https://askubuntu.com/questions/1166792/nvidia-418-now-depending-on-kernel-5-0-0-on-18-04lts
[14:31] <bastiaan> EriC^^, ihatecars : it seems the problem is "nvidia-driver-418" is now depending on "nvidia-driver-430" to "help people migrate"
[14:32] <bastiaan> but as nvidia-driver-418 is a meta package it can be fixed by ignoring the dependency
[14:32] <ihatecars> I don't know anything about ocmputers
[14:33] <Mondo> "ocmputers" depend on a system referred to as Occam's razor
[14:34] <Mondo> :-D
[14:36] <ihatecars> I can't make any assumptions about a computer
[14:49] <Mondo> My default apps do NOT open a file when dbl-click.
[14:49] <Mondo> But, rt-click and open with the same app works!
[15:28] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[15:44] <et09> hi - anyone from brazil?  need someone to help me debug SMS to brazil :-O
[15:45] <et09> much appreciated, msg me if you can
[15:46] <lordcirth> et09, SMS? This is the Ubuntu support channel
[15:58] <et09> :-O
[16:05] <mknepper> anyone know how to set the priority of a specific program to realtime in the terminal?
[16:07] <Habbie> mknepper, i don't know enough about realtime, does 'renice' do the job?
[16:09] <mknepper> Habbie, renice does but i think realtime is more on the kernel level, which i why i wanted to set it
[16:11] <jjgalvez6500> anyone having trouble updating libreoffice this morning I am getting the following error
[16:11] <jjgalvez6500> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libreoffice-writer_1%3a6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.9_amd64.deb: cannot copy extracted data for './usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libswlo.so' to '/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libswlo.so.dpkg-new': unexpected end of file or stream
[16:14] <ioria> probably it's a corrupted cache
[16:18] <intellect> Hi
[16:18] <intellect> My Ubuntu laptop keeps flashing this message
[16:18] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/5GEGBlNT/irccloudcapture649321002.jpg
[16:18] <intellect> And it doesn't go anywhere
[16:18] <mknepper> jjgalvez6500, I had a similar issue and just deleted the specific package from the cache
[16:18] <intellect> How can I fix it?
[16:18] <mknepper> im not sure how safe that is though and i had clean some stuff up after i did it
[16:19] <mknepper> intellect, does it boot into ubuntu?
[16:20] <mknepper> intellect, or does it just stay on that screen? cuz i think that's systemd just booting up all the services, but im no expert
[16:20] <ioria> jjgalvez6500,  ^ and run sudo apt-get install -f   after that
[16:20] <jjgalvez6500> mknepper, ioria, Thanks I'll try that
[16:20] <mknepper> ioria, do you think 'apt clean' would be useful for jjgalvez6500 after he runs the apt fix command?
[16:21] <ioria> yes
[16:21] <Habbie> intellect, try hitting enter a few times
[16:21] <mknepper> good luck jjgalvez6500. i wasnt libreoffice for me, i think it was a couple build dependencies for systemd that had gotten angry with me lol but that seemed to work
[16:22] <jjgalvez6500> Thanks I'll let you all know how it goes
[16:22] <intellect> Habbie: thanks
[16:25] <intellect> Habbie: it doesn't work
[16:25] <mknepper> intellect whats the error message now? can you post it in a pastebin?
[16:28] <jjgalvez6500> mknepper, ioria, thank you that fixed it
[16:28] <ioria> jjgalvez6500, good
[16:29] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/8nmfUsqE/irccloudcapture382806073.jpg
[16:29] <intellect> mknepper: this message is flashing in repeat
[16:31] <mknepper> intellect, so it doesn't boot into ubuntu, it just gets stuck on that screen?
[16:31] <intellect> mknepper: yes
[16:32] <mknepper> hmm. interesting.
[16:32] <mknepper> intellect, is this a fresh install?
[16:32] <intellect> No
[16:33] <mknepper> did you update the system or install/remove anything before this started happening?
[16:33] <intellect> I 've been using Ubuntu for a few months
[16:33] <intellect> mknepper: I didn't. But I forced shut down
[16:33] <intellect> Because it sometimes reboot after shut down
[16:34] <mknepper> alright, let me look into this. for now try dropping into a ttyl and logging in that way with your userid and password
[16:34] <mknepper> that way we can get some logs and stuff
[16:34] <mknepper> intellect, press ctrl+alt+f1
[16:34] <mknepper> then login
[16:35] <mknepper> let me know when you're in
[16:35] <dStruct> hey all.  Is it normal for rpc.mountd to be listening by default?  I don't have or use NFS at all, but I just noticed mountd listening on all interfaces and atleast 5 different random high ports
[16:36] <intellect> It doesn't work. Still on the same page
[16:37] <mknepper> mkay, new idea. reboot the system and spam the Shift key
[16:37] <mknepper> i want to see if we can get to the grub menu and then to the kernel recovery mode
[16:38] <dStruct> mknepper: did ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 not work?
[16:38] <mknepper> he said it didnt dStruct
[16:38] <mknepper> *they
[16:38] <mknepper> so im going to try and get them into the kernel recovery mode with networking
[16:39] <mknepper> get into some logs and run a few maintenance commands and see what's what
[16:39] <dStruct> you guys might want to check it wasn't completely locked up, cycling num lock or caps lock usually will give you a clue if the cpu has stopped cycling
[16:39] <mknepper> it seems to freeze when systemd initiates the gnome display manager
[16:39] <intellect> mknepper: i spammed shift key
[16:39] <intellect> Still the same
[16:39] <mknepper> it might be the escape key
[16:39] <dStruct> intellect: did you recently install any driver updates for your GPU by chance?
[16:39] <mknepper> let me double check
[16:40] <intellect> No
[16:40] <mknepper> ah, okay, its the escape key
[16:41] <intellect> Ok
[16:41] <mknepper> i guess shift is for legacy bios or something and esc is for uefi
[16:41] <dStruct> mknepper: it depends on if his bios is in legacy mode or UEFI, in legacy bios mode it is the shift key, but given that didn't work he's probably using UEFI so Esc key it is
[16:41] <intellect> Advanced options for. Ubuntu?
[16:41] <dStruct> yes that lol
[16:41] <mknepper> okay awesome, go to advanced options
[16:42] <mknepper> do you see something called recovery mode?
[16:42] <mknepper> or recovery
[16:42] <intellect> I see 3 recovery modes
[16:42] <dStruct> you probably want the one with the highest kernel version
[16:42] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/aS2nv8LE/irccloudcapture1278041963.jpg
[16:43] <mknepper> intellect, select the 5.0 recovery
[16:43] <dStruct> I would recommend trying to the 5.x recovery one, and if that fails, repeat the process and reboot and choose an older one
[16:43] <mknepper> yes, what dStruct said
[16:43] <dStruct> team work brother :D
[16:43] <mknepper> once you select that, tell us what it does
[16:43] <mknepper> dStruct, hellz yee
[16:44] <intellect> It shows recovery menu
[16:44] <mknepper> pick the one that has networking
[16:44] <dStruct> it should boot into that mode
[16:44] <mknepper> take a picture
[16:44] <scratchy> hey hey, anyone else having super slow download speeds from archive.ubuntu.com?
[16:44] <dStruct> arrow key over it to select the line you want and press enter should boot it
[16:45] <lordcirth> scratchy, try switching mirrors?
[16:45] <scratchy> downloading this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz brings max 60kb/sek from several geolocations..
[16:45] <scratchy> lordcirth: easier said then done ;)
[16:46] <lordcirth> scratchy, 100kb/s here
[16:46] <scratchy> well, still sucks for net install..
[16:46] <dStruct> scratchy: mtr is a really helpful tool to identify when there is an issue with a route to something, it may not be the mirror itself but your path to it
[16:46] <scratchy> dStruct thats why im saying from several locations
[16:47] <scratchy> seems the mirror itself..
[16:47] <scratchy> tried mtr / different isps already though..
[16:47] <dStruct> meh, that's probably why there are about 300 mirrors to choose from I guess (yes I'm exaggerating)
[16:47] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/HwfORIOx/irccloudcapture-1583841974.jpg
[16:47] <lordcirth> scratchy, where are you? I use http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca
[16:48] <intellect> mknepper: ^
[16:48] <scratchy> lordcirth: germany / fin im currently netinstalling from
[16:48] <mknepper> intellect, use the arrows to select the Networking option then hit enter
[16:49] <intellect> mknepper: i did
[16:49] <mknepper> okay, login
[16:49] <intellect> Resume?
[16:49] <mknepper> if it hasnt already
[16:50] <mknepper> intellect, can you take another picture?
[16:50] <mknepper> and no, dont hit resume yet
[16:50] <mknepper> i want to see what options you have
[16:50] <intellect> D: I hit resume already
[16:50] <mknepper> oh no lol
[16:50] <mknepper> well tell me what happens
[16:50] <mknepper> lol
[16:50] <intellect> Still the same options
[16:51] <intellect> Nothing happens
[16:51] <intellect> Blank space
[16:51] <intellect> I think I reach terminal
[16:51] <mknepper> okay good, thats what we want
[16:51] <dStruct> intellect: try ctrl+alt+F1 or F2, F1-F5 should be spare tty terminals to login from
[16:51] <mknepper> i think they're already in a terminal
[16:52] <intellect> Terminal is still blinking
[16:52] <mknepper> can you take another picture intellect
[16:52] <mknepper> intellect, try ctrl+alt+f2
[16:52] <mknepper> or f3, f4, f5
[16:54] <intellect> That login is still blinking
[16:54] <intellect> Flashing
[16:54] <dStruct> intellect: the text/console login is flashing?
[16:55] <intellect> dStruct: yes
[16:55] <dStruct> intellect: interesting, are you able to type your login info and get logged in?
[16:55] <intellect> No
[16:55] <dStruct> intellect: do you have a really large hammer by chance?
[16:55] <dStruct> asking for a friend
[16:55] <intellect> It only last a second to show
[16:56] <intellect> dStruct: to hit my laptop or my head?
[16:57] <dStruct> intellect: something weird is going on with the graphical stuff, is it a really old laptop?
[16:57] <intellect> It is old
[16:57] <intellect> Since 2012
[16:57] <dStruct> intellect: what happends when you hit ctrl+alt+backspace anything?
[16:57] <dStruct> intellect: and are you able to SSH into the laptop from another device?
[16:59] <mknepper> my plan was to get intellect into a shell to double check for any updates, clean apt and purge/reinstall gdm
[16:59] <mknepper> intellect, do the same thing but don't hit resume this timy
[16:59] <dStruct> mknepper: sounds like a solid plan to me
[16:59] <mknepper> intellect, just enable networking and when the options come back up, select root
[16:59] <dStruct> mknepper: I was thinking more grep "EE" his X log
[16:59] <mknepper> intellect, but dont do anything once your in the root shell, root is very powerful and you could mess up your system
[16:59] <mknepper> dStruct yeah that too, i want to see his logs
[17:00] <dStruct> mknepper: really interesting his text console is flashing though, I don't think I've seen that before and I've seen a lot of stuff
[17:00] <mknepper> i think something jacked up with the login manager
[17:01] <mknepper> ive had a similar thing happen to me and i had to redo a couple things
[17:01] <mknepper> i also want to see what hardware he has
[17:01] <intellect> Intel core i3
[17:01] <dStruct> mknepper: it's very possible, if ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing, and he can't ssh into it remotely, I was thinking he should try a normal boot from his grub menu on kernel 4.18.0-21
[17:02] <intellect> mknepper: enable networking?
[17:02] <intellect> Then root?
[17:03] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/jij5k0o9/irccloudcapture32341.jpg
[17:03] <dStruct> intellect: yes Root
[17:03] <mknepper> yes
[17:04] <mknepper> dStruct is ctrl+alt+backspace disabled for X restart on Ubuntu?
[17:05] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/y9QvVs1r/irccloudcapture-425211427.jpg
[17:05] <dStruct> mknepper: quite possibly, I deal with a large range of older legacy software so I keep lots of tricks in my toolbox, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't do anything, worth a shot tho
[17:05] <mknepper> dStruct i think it is but there's a way to set it back up, i just dont know how
[17:05] <dStruct> mknepper: ever heard of MPX, it's pre any UNIX
[17:05] <mknepper> intellect, alright, awesome, that looks good.
[17:06] <intellect> mknepper: now it is blank
[17:06] <dStruct> mknepper: yeah it can to rebound in a conf somewhere, I did it once a while back
[17:06] <intellect> The screen is blank
[17:06] <mknepper> pic?
[17:06] <dStruct> intellect: like the screen went blank?
[17:06] <mknepper> thats weird
[17:07] <dStruct> intellect: if the screen immediately blanked and doesn't come back when you hit a key, you may have some hardware issue going on, like bad ram, or a very corrupt hard drive, but that's pure speculation at this point
[17:07] <mknepper> you can't type anything intellect ?
[17:08] <intellect> mknepper: no
[17:08] <dStruct> and I don't think he would have multiple ttys in root mode right?
[17:08] <intellect> I bought this laptop since  2012
[17:08] <intellect> Maybe too old?
[17:08] <dStruct> does caps lock cycle on/off if you hit it?
[17:08] <dStruct> it's not that old
[17:08] <intellect> Oh. It's on
[17:09] <mknepper> okay good
[17:09] <mknepper> type this in:
[17:09] <mknepper> apt update
[17:09] <mknepper> hit enter, tell me what it says
[17:09] <mknepper> dStruct do you remember where to pull logs from? it's in /var/log or something isnt it?
[17:09] <dStruct> yes X.log or X.log.## I think
[17:10] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/jlQnOs2w/irccloudcapture-1816274036.jpg
[17:10] <dStruct> could also be /var/log/gdm3, depends on how he's setup
[17:11] <intellect> mknepper: what should I type now?
[17:11] <dStruct> he doesn't have networking enabled in root mode
[17:11] <mknepper> hold on, we'll enable it, let me look it up
[17:11] <intellect> Because there's no Internet connection with it
[17:12] <intellect> Should I connect with Internet?
[17:12] <dStruct> intellect: do you use your ethernet cable to get internet?
[17:12] <intellect> dStruct: phone data
[17:12] <dStruct> intellect: a dialup modem?
[17:12] <intellect> Mobile data
[17:12] <mknepper> intellect try this
[17:12] <mknepper> type this in service network-manager start
[17:13] <mknepper> oh wait, you dont have internet on it?
[17:13] <dStruct> mknepper: unless he's using netplan :D
[17:13] <intellect> mknepper: should I connect with Internet?
[17:13] <dStruct> intellect: yes
[17:13] <mknepper> yes
[17:13] <t3rminal> Hey folks. I'm hoping someone knows what I am doing wrong.
[17:14] <mknepper> sure, whats up t3rminal
[17:14] <mknepper> ill see if i can help
[17:15] <t3rminal> Hi mknepper, I've got a headless server running ubuntu 16.04 and I have a SAMBA share configured. Its working fine for everything apart from symlinks which don't show up when I open the samba share on my mac.
[17:15] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/JiIqBbEZ/irccloudcapture-724376024.jpg
[17:15] <lordcirth> t3rminal, the symlinks just aren't there?
[17:16] <mknepper> oh man intellect thats a lot of package upgrades lol
[17:16] <t3rminal> yes they dont show up on the mac.
[17:16] <mknepper> ah, thats out of my specialty t3rminal wish I could help
[17:16] <intellect> mknepper: what should I do now?
[17:16] <dStruct> mknepper: probably start with a apt upgrade?
[17:17] <mknepper> yeah
[17:17] <mknepper> intellect enter this
[17:17] <mknepper> apt upgrade
[17:17] <mknepper> when it prompts to upgrade, hit -y
[17:17] <mknepper> sorry, i meant hit the y key
[17:17] <t3rminal> I used the 'ln -s' command to create them and they seem to have been created correctly.
[17:17] <dStruct> intellect: watch for any errors about packages not being ok
[17:17] <mknepper> yes, keep an eye on that
[17:17] <mknepper> im thinking this will probably fix a lot of your issues
[17:17] <mknepper> but we'll see
[17:17] <t3rminal> It's ok mknepper, thanks for tryin
[17:18] <dStruct> t3rminal: do you have follow symlinks = yes defined in your conf?
[17:19] <t3rminal> hi dStruct, the bottom of my smb.conf has this in it
[17:20] <t3rminal> follow symlinks = yes
[17:20] <t3rminal> wide links = yes
[17:20] <t3rminal> [storage]
[17:20] <t3rminal> path = /media/storage
[17:20] <dStruct> t3rminal: in the [share] section?
[17:20] <t3rminal> read only = no
[17:20] <t3rminal> [tv.shows]
[17:20] <dStruct> t3rminal: perfect, and do you have appropriate permissions that samba would be able to share those linked directories?
[17:21] <mknepper> intellect might want to grab some coffee, not sure how fast your internet is lol
[17:21] <dStruct> mknepper: lol
[17:21] <mknepper> when its done upgrading type this in: reboot
[17:21] <mknepper> let us know what happens
[17:21] <intellect> mknepper: 275 kB/s
[17:21] <mknepper> brew a whole pot
[17:21] <dStruct> t3rminal: also be careful pasting multiple lines in here, Drone will hurt you
[17:22] <lordcirth> !paste | t3rminal
[17:23] <t3rminal> dStruct, I can't see any issues with permissions
[17:23] <t3rminal> dStruct, Drone has offered me there advice.
[17:24] <dStruct> t3rminal: so in your samba conf follow symlinks and wide links are in what [subsection]
[17:24] <mknepper> dStruct do you use any recent distros regularly? i know you said you use legacy stuff, im just curious. do you have a distro at home you use?
[17:26] <dStruct> mknepper: I run 18.04 LTS on most things, I used to be a mirror maintainer for the Gentoo guys for about 4-5 years, I've run FreeBSDx 1.x-5.xish, Debian obviously, TurboLinux back in the day, and I currently work on SystemV and MPX daily at work
[17:26] <dStruct> oh and Deadra.. I mean RedHat 2.x and up, Fedora, Cent etc
[17:27] <t3rminal> dStruct, it's pretty much at the bottom of smb.conf
[17:27] <t3rminal> https://pastebin.com/DGbBKyhi
[17:27] <mknepper> 18.04 LTS is pretty good, my favorite next to 10.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS
[17:28] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | mknepper
[17:29] <mknepper> oh snap, i didn't know there was another channel for that. ty.
[17:29] <dStruct> t3rminal: make a section called [global] and put under it follow symlinks = yes, wide links = yes, unix extensions = no, on 3 separate lines
[17:30] <scratchy> is it possible with preseed to switch the mirror?
[17:31] <dStruct> t3rminal: when you're done, save it, and restart the samba service with sudo systemctl restart smbd
[17:32] <dStruct> scratchy: you should be able to just edit your sources.list to change the mirror
[17:33] <t3rminal> done dStruct but they still aren't there.
[17:34] <dStruct> t3rminal: you have a very stripped down samba conf, you might want to try making a backup copy of your current config and starting over with a default samba config, add in your shares and make sure those lines I gave you are in the [global] section, did you restart smbd?
[17:35] <t3rminal> dStruct, I backed it up before I started tinkering thankfully
[17:35] <t3rminal> dStruct, I backed it up before I started tinkering thankfull
[17:36] <t3rminal> The samba conf is the standard one that was created when I installed it. I've just added to it.
[17:37] <t3rminal> dStruct, can you point me towards a default smb.conf thats correct please?
[17:38] <dStruct> t3rminal: it should have been included when you installed it, locate samba.conf and you might find one in /usr/share I believe
[17:38] <dStruct> t3rminal: or actually it would be smb.conf not samba.conf
[17:39] <t3rminal> dStruct, thats the one I edited. It was in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[17:40] <t3rminal> if I do 'locate smb.conf' it gives me some other locations for the file
[17:44] <dStruct> t3rminal: under each of your shares add guest ok = yes and restart smbd again
[17:46] <dStruct> t3rminal: then check on your Mac by hitting Command+K and type smb://your_server_ip_or_name
[17:52] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/qBi9egMe/irccloudcapture-1418432525.jpg
[17:52] <intellect> mknepper: ^
[17:52] <dStruct> intellect: select Yes
[17:53] <mknepper> select yes intellect
[17:53] <dStruct> intellect: if you select the No option it will continue to prompt you for every service it restarts during the upgrade process, usually not necessary
[17:53]  * intellect nods 
[17:54] <t3rminal> still no luck dStruct
[17:54] <dStruct> t3rminal: ok, so can you see the server from your Mac at all?
[17:54] <t3rminal> yes
[17:54] <dStruct> t3rminal: how are you connecting to it, command+k?
[17:54] <intellect> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/OYsfQhkX/irccloudcapture1326363548.jpg
[17:54] <t3rminal> I can access it without any problems and I can see all the files in the folder apart from the symlinks
[17:55] <intellect> mknepper: this message again
[17:55] <dStruct> mknepper: probably try normal boot now?
[17:55] <t3rminal> i'm connecting to it via command+k yes
[17:55] <dStruct> t3rminal: are you logging in with credentials, or just browsing as a guest user/no login?
[17:56] <t3rminal> credentials
[17:56] <mknepper> yes
[17:56] <intellect> mknepper: normal boot?
[17:57] <dStruct> t3rminal: ok I believe your issue is probably permissions related, are you able to give one of the directories in question 777 permissions?
[17:57] <mknepper> intellect yes, though if its still acting weird you might need to do a full reboot
[17:57] <mknepper> but yeah, go for it
[17:57] <t3rminal> lets have a go
[17:58] <intellect> mknepper: it shows terminal now
[17:58] <intellect> Blinking terminal
[17:59] <dStruct> t3rminal: it also could have to do with the symlinks you have that appear to be pointing to themselves in the same directory, that's not good to have
[18:00] <intellect> mknepper: I think it needs full reboot then
[18:01] <mknepper> yeah probably
[18:01] <mknepper> if this doesn't work we're going to try something else
[18:01] <mknepper> intellect full reboot it and see what happens
[18:01] <dStruct> t3rminal: also in your smb.conf it wouldn't hurt to add browsable = yes to each [share] and restart smbd again
[18:01] <intellect> mknepper: I don't have  the Ubuntu software stick
[18:02] <t3rminal> dStruct what do you mean by them pointing to themselves?
[18:02] <dStruct> intellect: it's possible the first round of upgrades didn't fix the broken package
[18:03] <intellect> mknepper: dStruct I forced shut down and now it works!
[18:03] <intellect> Thank you so much, guys
[18:03] <dStruct> intellect: nice, congrats!!
[18:03]  * intellect hugs mknepper and dStruct 
[18:04] <dStruct> t3rminal: in your paste, I see 3 files that appear to be symlinked incorrectly
[18:04] <dStruct> intellect: does the graphical login work?
[18:04] <intellect> dStruct: yes
[18:04] <mknepper> very welcome intellect  :)
[18:04] <intellect> :D
[18:04] <dStruct> intellect: well I'm glad it's working, I know how frustrating that can be
[18:05] <t3rminal> dStruct, I thought I pasted my smb.conf?
[18:05] <dStruct> t3rminal: you did, along with some ls -lh's
[18:05] <mknepper> intellect enjoy your system. i was thinking either you needed an update or gdm jacked up. have fun! :)
[18:05] <intellect> dStruct: yeah. My deadline to submit exam question papers is today and it happened suddenly. Heh
[18:06] <intellect> mknepper: thanks
[18:06] <t3rminal> dStruct oh yeah. oops
[18:06] <t3rminal> I did wonder why the full path wasn't showing on the right.
[18:08] <dStruct> t3rminal: I would unlink those, and then probably sudo systemctl restart smbd, and then try smbclient -L localhost and see what you get
[18:13] <t3rminal> dStruct, I've just recreated the symlinks and they now seem to be showing up
[18:14] <dStruct> t3rminal: nice!  you'll probably want to lock down those shares a little better now that it's working, wide links = yes is not a safe thing to keep turned on really
[18:15] <dStruct> t3rminal: take away/disable things one by one, and restart smbd after each change, and test on your Mac to make sure it doesn't stop working for you
[18:18] <t3rminal> dStruct, what is the issues having wide links = yes
[18:22] <dStruct> t3rminal: it allows symlinks to be followed outside of the share itself, so you could accidentally allow someone to go to directories you might not want them in
[18:22] <dStruct> t3rminal: for example creating a symlink to /etc inside a share would allow someone to read and possibly even write to files in there
[18:25] <t3rminal> I'll look into that. Thanks for the help dStruct
[18:26] <dStruct> t3rminal: sure thing, I'm glad I could help
[18:32] <rexwin_> I don't get IPv4 address in my virtual ubuntu machine?
[18:39] <acawley> rexwin: what virtualization software are you using?
[18:40] <rexwin_> vmware
[18:40] <acawley> It sounds like you might need to tweak the network setup on the VM (Host side)
[18:40] <acawley> what network conf does it have currently on vmware?
[18:41] <acawley> also do you have a DHCP Server (built into practically all routers) which is actually dishing out IPv4 addresses to devices?
[18:41] <acawley> I take it other devices on your LAN obtain IPv4 addresses automatically? (if so then those will be issued to them via a DHCP server)
[18:46] <rexwin_> VMnetDHCP and VMnetNAT was disabled and all is well now
[18:47] <acawley> that's cool, glad to hear you got it working!
[18:48] <pjs> anyone recommend software (or website) where I can edit pdf forms? like, fill them out. I can't seem to find something that runs in Linux to do this
[18:49] <pragmaticenigma> pjs: Please use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for software recommendations
[18:50] <V7> Hey all
[18:50] <V7> Could anyone suggest how to get rid of systemd-resolve's messages in syslog like: https://termbin.com/u2ym
[18:50] <V7> Already relinked /etc/resolv.conf and reinstalled resolvconf
[18:51] <pragmaticenigma> V7: You might want to try asking in #ubuntu-server
[18:52] <V7> Roger that
[18:52] <V7> Thank you pragmaticenigma
[19:20] <bernyrd> hello
[19:20] <bernyrd> I have issue with pppoe
[19:21] <bernyrd> I run pppoeconf and get it set up well, provide what I know to be correct user and pass. I check the secrets files. But when I run `pon dsl-provider` I either get eventually nothing in `plog` or `Timeout waiting for PAD0`
[19:23] <bernyrd> I read this maybe is ISP issue, but I have no way to prove, and obviously is never their fault
[19:23] <bernyrd> they keep telling to use provided modem, but it can't do what I need...
[19:23] <ioria> bernyrd, why you don't use the DSL  oprion in NM ?
[19:23] <ioria> *option
[19:24] <bernyrd> is server install
[19:24] <ioria> i see
[19:24] <bernyrd> very sleek,very shiny. much blinking cursor.
[19:25] <bernyrd> I am very confuse because exact net setup used to work
[19:25] <bernyrd> this is 90% of what makes me think ISP issue, I hear about long live connections that are not possible to resume due to modem bugs
[19:26] <ioria> bernyrd, well, you basically just set the interface, (eth0),username, password  and leave the others to default
[19:26] <ncuxo> Greetings everybody
[19:27] <ncuxo> I have a question in regards of boot
[19:27] <ncuxo> can I move boot directory on a removable flash
[19:28] <ncuxo> for extra encryption security?
[19:30] <acawley> interesting idea, although probably overkill, would it not be possible to just encrypt the boot partition in situ?
[19:30] <bernyrd> ioria yeh unfortunately I do not find much more troubleshooting info
[19:31] <acawley> I'm not that well up on encryption on Linux, but I would have thought that may be possible?
[19:31] <ncuxo> acawley:  can I encrypt boot?
[19:31] <ioria> sure
[19:31] <ncuxo> I thought boot has to be unencrypted
[19:31] <acawley> others will know a lot more about that then me!
[19:31] <acawley> All I know is that today at work I setup a Fedora system and enabled Encryption as part of the process
[19:32] <acawley> when it boots it pretty quickly asks me for my decryption passphrase.
[19:32] <acawley> ioria: would I be right in thinking that would have the boot partition encrypted? (default Fedora & choosing to encrypt during setup)?
[19:33] <ioria> bernyrd,  i suggest you check your logs (dmesg, journalctl, syslog)
[19:33] <acawley> I know it isn't strictly Ubuntu, I just figured if Fedora was implementing encryption at boot then likely Ubuntu would be able to do the same
[19:33] <ioria> acawley, right, not deafult in ubuntu (you need manual work)
[19:34] <acawley> OK, cool, it wasn't default in Fedora either, but it was just one mere tickbox away during the partitioning setup screen
[19:35] <ioria> acawley, and you should know that an ecrypted boot does not grant 100% security
[19:35] <ncuxo> ioria:  so external boot is more secure?
[19:35] <ioria> nope
[19:36] <acawley> ncuxo: have faith in proper encryption, when done correctly and you use a decent/strong password/phrase it is solid and secure.
[19:37] <lordcirth> Strong passphrase is the most important bit. Your next concern should be malware, as it would bypass all of that.
[19:37] <ncuxo> well my passphrase is 40 symbols generated from a random password generator
[19:37] <ncuxo> it took a while to remember
[19:37] <ioria> does not matter
[19:38] <acawley> ioria, by that do you mean that I shouldn't take for granted that if my boot partition is encrypted I shouldn't assume other areas like /home are?
[19:38] <ioria> ncuxo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKeiKYA03eE
[19:38] <ioria> sorry
[19:38] <acawley> I suppose one of the best tests would be to take the drive out of the system and connect it to another and attempt to try and retrieve data myself without using decryption passwords
[19:39] <ncuxo> ioria: not something I want to hear
[19:39] <ncuxo> but thanks I will definitely try to improve
[19:39] <lordcirth> ncuxo, none of this is a reason to not use FDE.
[19:39] <lordcirth> Just know that nothing is a silver bullet.
[19:39] <ioria> acawley,     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKeiKYA03eE
[19:39] <acawley> just loaded that, thanks, I will watch
[19:39] <ncuxo> but how are all the servers protected
[19:40] <lordcirth> ncuxo, what servers?
[19:40] <ncuxo> generally speaking
[19:42] <lordcirth> ncuxo, well, generally servers should be in a physically secure room, in which case disk encryption is a lower priority. You can encrypt your data drives, so that you can replace / RMA them, and keep the keys on the root SSDs. We do that on some machines.
[19:42] <lordcirth> Or you can put the keys on a USB stick, or require them to be typed in on boot, or unlock the server via ssh.
[19:43] <ncuxo> well how can I prevent someone accessing my data then ?
[19:44] <ncuxo> I thought FDE is enough
[19:44] <acawley> It likely is *done right*
[19:44] <ioria> nope
[19:45] <acawley> ioria, nope to what?
[19:45] <ioria> FDE is enough
[19:46] <ioria> is just raisonnable enough
[19:46] <acawley> ok, ok, maybe I wasn't thinking about it litterally enough - I mean you'd probably have better security encrypting a particular volume or partion on a use-case basis,
[19:47] <ioria> nope again
[19:47] <acawley> decrypt briefly when you need to put something in or access data and dismount/encrypt when done
[19:47] <ncuxo> ioria: I'm also encrypting some folders
[19:48] <acawley> ioria, well I suppose you would need to define "enough" to have a real answer.
[19:48] <ioria> attacks are hw-based nowadays, not software
[19:48] <ioria> they chabge the chip pins behavior
[19:49] <lordcirth> ncuxo, you need to define your use case and threat model if you want a specific answer.
[19:49] <acawley> not from the kind of people we use FDE to protect against at our work. You've devised a state of the art imaginary attacker who doesn't frequent my area
[19:49] <acawley> we use FDE to guard against the common criminal who may rob our gear at night,
[19:50] <acawley> yes we have alarms, locks and more in place to protect it but FDE is another tool.
[19:50] <ncuxo> I want the government not to be able to decrypt my drives
[19:50] <acawley> It will stop your common criminal from reading potentially sensitive data from those drives
[19:50] <lordcirth> ncuxo, then you should move to a country where that government can't kidnap and beat you.
[19:50] <acawley> ^ and intercept your every communication
[19:50] <lordcirth> $5 wrench attacks are a thing.
[19:51] <acawley> ^ lol yeah :/
[19:51] <ncuxo> journalism is not easy
[19:51] <acawley> Use Tor Browser or TAILS live OS for net browsing
[19:52] <acawley> that isn't going to help you with disk encryption, but just a heads-up for a bit of additional privacy/anonimity when surfing the web
[19:52] <ncuxo> I do that but I need to store the information somewhere :D
[19:52] <bernyrd> should I be more afraid of $5 wrench or $10 wrench
[19:52] <ncuxo> this is why I'm interested into FDE
[19:53] <acawley> I'm still a Windows user part time, I use VeraCrypt there, is it available for Linux?
[19:53] <ioria> it was, iirc
[19:57] <ncuxo> ioria: this is why I moved to linux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU7YQA72PP4
[19:58] <ioria> ncuxo, ok
[20:08] <GivenToCode> anyone run ubuntu 18.04 via community AMIs on EC2? I am seeing shutdown (stop/terminate) hang for about 4 minutes without any shutdown hooks activating on the instance (ie systemd) and then ec2 forcing termination
[20:09] <GivenToCode> this is reproducible on new 18.04 community amis on at least t3 and m5 instance types, but not t2.
[20:17] <acawley> ncuxo & ioria, I'm a gd way through that Defcon21 vid and tbh I'm conmfortable with the first 6 or 7 attack vectors he mentions. They feel somewhat weak to me and I know in the past 6+yrs since that video the industry
[20:17] <acawley> has made good moves toward mitigating much of the problems that would make them possible
[20:18] <acawley> like reducing the use of Thunderbolt, Firewire and slowly rolling out things like Secure Boot & UEFI etc.
[20:19] <acawley> + some of those attacks actually involve a root compromise just to steal my encryption keys. I'm sorry but if you've got root on my box then it's game over anyway and I'd expect someone with root on my running sys to have that degree of access,
[20:20] <acawley> most of what I've heard so far doesn't worry me. Don't get me wrong if I had highly sensative secrets that could potentially put my life endanger and I thought state actors were out to steal those secrets then I would be a lot more paranoid and careful than I am day to day.
[20:20] <acawley> Interesting video though - thanks for sharing (I'm still watching it!)
[20:23] <ncuxo> tbh if my pc is in a hidden room and I power down the whole electricity when the raid occurs I don't see how they are getting my data
[20:23] <ncuxo> they will still need time to find it
[20:24] <ncuxo> disassemble it and do whatever they need to extract the data
[20:26] <JimBuntu> GivenToCode, I do, but not 18.04 and never experienced such failures using <18.04 AMIs
[20:27] <JimBuntu> GivenToCode, 16.04 is still LTS, for a bit, maybe use that for now?
[20:27] <misternumberone> hi, i am experiencing this bug in 19.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/1822937, they say it was fixed in nvidia-settings (418.56-0ubuntu2). but i have nvidia-settings (418.56-0ubuntu1) and apt upgrade does not update the package; is there a correct way i can download the patch?
[20:28] <JimBuntu> GivenToCode, I am pretty sure though, people would love if you could post logs from that for the community to look at... maybe a log server so you can get stuff as close to final shutdown as possible?
[20:34] <systest> Is it possible to configure systemd to use specific DNS hosts for some domans?  My first thought  was to simply rip out systemd-resolved and replace it with somthing  like powerdns-recursor but it woudl be nice if there were a simple config solution
[20:40] <leftyfb> systest: run your own DNS server somewhere and create forwarders/stubs
[20:42] <systest> much too much effort and would be problematic as I would have to setup a DNS infrasstructure everywhere I wanted to host systems (or allow access in across the net, which won't work on some of my environemnts)
[20:43] <systest> but appreciate the reply
[20:48] <dStruct> systest: you can configure DHCP to hand out different name servers to various hosts, or like leftyfb said, you'd have to run your own DNS probably
[20:49] <systest> I don't control  DHCP, AWS does ;-)
[20:49] <systest> but interesting thought
[20:49] <dStruct> systest: was not aware it was an EC2, if you setup a private network you can control the dhcp, costs a little bit extra but maybe $1/mo or something, but we are getting off-topic here
[20:50] <systest> agreed
[20:50] <dStruct> systest: what are you trying to do?
[20:50] <systest> PowerDNS makes this trivial.  Just add a line in a config `somedomain.com=10.11.12.13`
[20:50] <systest> Short version, we use hashicorp consul/vault
[20:51] <systest> has a slick DNS  interface, i.e. you can make DNS queries and it returns service locations, key/values etc
[20:51] <dStruct> systest: I'd say probably take this convo over to #ubuntu-offtopic as it's a little out of scope for here
[20:52] <systest> well, given this is a systemd problem figured it was on topic
[20:53] <bernyrd> I was checking issues with PPPD. I get no PADO packet. But I see no errors in dmesg.
[20:53] <bernyrd> Not sure what else to check
[20:53] <systest> but fair enough, simple answer is probably to replace the systemd-resolver
[20:53] <bernyrd> pppoe-discover gives https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ioctl-siocgifhwaddr-session-0-no-such-device-555814/
[20:53] <bernyrd> even when supplied with right if
[20:54] <dStruct> systest: yeah I mean if it's a configuration type of thing with resolved or systemd then by all means :D
[20:55] <GivenToCode> @JimBuntu, I was working with the systemd folks to get logs but it really does appear something blocks for 4 minutes and then ec2 pulls the plug so there isn't much logging
[20:55] <GivenToCode> I also didn't find a repo of sorts to log an issue for the EC2 AMI
[20:55] <systest> dStruct, that was my orignal question.  I want to configure systemd to send requests related to a specific domain to a specific DNS server.  Dosn't look like that's easy to do though
[20:57] <JimBuntu> GivenToCode, maybe try to stick with what it is that's blocking, that should show in the logs. I figure. Sorry, I can't be of much more help. I bet someone here will be, or possibly over at #ubuntu-server as I bet they would see this more often, even if it's the desktop version AMI you are using
[20:57] <Aavar> After a reinstall of my system I can't reenable or log in to my google account in "online accounts". Where are these config files kept so I can remove them and start fresh?
[20:58] <ncuxo>  Aavar or just stop using google :D
[20:58] <ncuxo> they are the evil
[20:59] <Aavar> ncuxo, I know, but I haven't found a good provider yet... I guess they have captured me with their freebies...
[20:59] <Aavar> I think maybe I found a solution though.
[21:02] <dStruct> systest: it's been a while since I messed with that kind stuff in resolved but let me take a peek at it real quick and refresh my memory
[21:03] <systest> dStruct, thanks
[21:05] <CarlFK> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/  "add to ff" is disabled  - #greasemonkey said "ask in #ff" and no one is home over there...   so.. anyone here have some ideas?
[21:06] <CarlFK> hmm, seems same with all the addon's I go to
[21:06] <dStruct> systest: well the quickest thing that pops out at me is you can set a dns server per iface, so in theory if you were you prop up a vif or iface alias or something like that, maybe even a vlan you could set dns server per interface
[21:08] <CarlFK> dStruct: i du know bout that... dns starts with etc/resolve.conf - I don't think theres a per/iface
[21:08] <systest> dStruct, that just pushed the problem to "how do you configure the system to use a separate interface for DNS queries for some domains".  The more I look at it, the answer is "replace systemd-resolved" with a more configurable tool
[21:08] <systest> but I do appreciate your taking the time to look/reply.  thanks much
[21:09] <dStruct> systest: hmm interesting, now I kinda want to do it, just to prove it can be done lol
[21:10] <systest> Tell you what, I'll pop back in tomorrow and link to my solution, you can tell me if there's a simpler way ;-)
[21:10] <dStruct> systest: sounds good to me :D
[21:11] <systest> now, if I can just find a simple way to find out what DNS servers were returned with the DHCP lease, other than `cat /run/systemd/netif/leases/* | grep DNS`
[21:12] <dStruct> systest: wireshark
[21:12] <dStruct> or tcpdump (easier but harder to read)
[21:16] <systest> Creative, but I think `netplan ip leases eth0` is a bit simpler and doesn't require root ;-)
[21:24] <Aavar> what is the default mail-client in ubuntu?
[21:24] <lordcirth> Aavar, Thunderbird, last I checked
[21:24] <Aavar> lordcirth, ahh... makes sense
[21:42] <dStruct> systest: is there a particular reason using static hosts entries wouldn't work?
[21:45] <mustmodify> is there some pipe command that will add "CRLF" instead of ... whichever one linux does?
[21:45] <mustmodify> so that I can `cat file.txt | crlf` then copy/paste?
[21:46] <dStruct> mustmodify: either sed or awk can probably (probably sed)

[22:34] <vellu> hello
[22:35] <vellu> my raspberry pie wont show on screen..
[22:35] <vellu> ive tried everything, i think i need a 3 amp charger
[22:35] <vellu> i have a 6 amp charger but it doesnt work
[22:35] <vellu> how can i setup ssh or vnc blindly no screen
[22:36] <vellu> Someone please help
[22:50] <deltab> vellu: can you connect by ssh?
[22:50] <deltab> aiui the default username and password are 'raspberry' and 'pi'
[22:50] <vellu> how can i setup ssh when i dont see anything
[22:50] <vellu> okay
[22:50] <vellu> how do i enable it in config
[22:52] <deltab> do you have a screen connected?
[22:55] <vellu> no i cant get it to work, my charger isnt succifent enough
[22:55] <vellu> i need and micro usb to type c adaptor
[22:55] <vellu> so i can get my real charger, then the screen will work
[22:56] <vellu> can i configure ssh in config connected to my laptop
[22:56] <vellu> the memory stick
[22:57] <deltab> it should be possible, but I don't know how
[23:00] <EriC^^> vellu: i dont think you could get more power if you use micro to type c
[23:01] <EriC^^> vellu: you could mount stuff and edit the configs
[23:01] <vellu> no my charger has type c output and my cord is type c - micro usb
[23:03] <ciby> ive tried to put ubuntu into sleep mode like in windows 10 before but when i start it back up the screen is completely blank. why
[23:03] <EriC^^> type "sudo parted -ls" and pastebin vellu , with mem stick attached
[23:04] <EriC^^> ciby: try some acpi_osi tricks and/or a different kernel
[23:04] <vellu> i dont think its because of software
[23:04] <vellu> its lack of amps
[23:05] <vellu> i read that its usual
[23:05] <vellu> i burned the images correctly and have fat format
[23:07] <EriC^^> vellu: ok, still want the paste though
[23:07] <deltab> ciby: /59
[23:08] <deltab> oops
[23:09] <ciby> didnt mean to do that?
[23:11] <deltab> ciby: right (I was thinking of what to say, then EriC^^ said something more useful)
[23:13] <vellu> my friend is bringing me a charger
[23:13] <vellu> this is purely scientific, not enough amps
[23:13] <EriC^^> vellu: the screen has a microusb input?
[23:14] <EriC^^> ah nevermind
[23:15] <EriC^^> so you need a type c to type cord is what you're saying
[23:18] <ciby> what is acpi_osi
[23:18] <ciby> first time hearing of this
[23:19] <vellu> yes i need a cord with two type c ends, because the charger is retarded
[23:20] <vellu> if i make mysel that wire cut two usb type c's and solder them
[23:20] <deltab> ciby: ACPI is the modern equivalent of BIOS: software built into the motherboard that controls the hardware and is specific to how your computer was built
[23:21] <vellu> do you guys believe that we actually live in a simulation
[23:21] <ciby> really... i thought all motherboards had bios
[23:21] <ciby> vellu do you know about the golden ratio
[23:21] <vellu> yes
[23:21] <ciby> that studd really messed me up
[23:21] <ciby> stuff
[23:21] <vellu> its everywhere
[23:21] <vellu> same as our dna is code
[23:22] <ciby> thats one thing i see as proof that everything is fake
[23:22] <vellu> there are actually philosophical zombies, but consciousness can shift bodies
[23:22] <deltab> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface
[23:24] <vellu> spooky subject
[23:24] <vellu> i like cleverbot
[23:24] <vellu> tell me what should i study
[23:25] <vellu> computer science? or AI?
[23:29] <Vigdis> Hi, I have a physical disk (data disk, not OS disk) I'd like to move from a physical machine to another. The disk is entirely used by lvm. Should I take stuff from /etc/lvm? Or can I just move it and the other machine will see everything?
[23:29] <whgiii> IMHO CS learn the basics and with a solid foundation you can specialize in any field you want
[23:30] <vellu> i should
[23:30] <vellu> but i have adhd
[23:30] <SpiritHorse> wut
[23:30] <vellu> right now i am under the influence of concerta
[23:30] <whgiii> don't we all :)
[23:31] <SpiritHorse> vellu: we are all adhd brah
[23:31] <vellu> its the only way i can focus really.
[23:31] <vellu> it sucks
[23:31] <deltab> Vigdis: depends on how you have it set up. Run lsblk, pvdisplay, lvdisplay
[23:32] <vellu> I browse deepweb commonly
[23:33] <vellu> for drugs for conecentration etc.
[23:33] <vellu> there are evil sites that i would like to burn
[23:33] <SpiritHorse> too much creepy shit
[23:33] <vellu> yup
[23:34] <SpiritHorse> I'm all for a good time, but some of the stuff there is just...... yeah, no.
[23:34] <deltab> that's dark web; deep web is just sites you have to log into
[23:34] <vellu> dont touch the bad stuff just browse drugs :D
[23:34] <Vigdis> deltab, here's the output https://chown.me/indigo/185e1f6467b39c8fcd92256a10a2c727202261fd2111d62beb8fe7efed413f38
[23:34] <SpiritHorse> well I was looking at some of the stuff, I was just curious about the weed
[23:35] <SpiritHorse> that's about as hard as I go... but next thing you know, I see... well,
[23:35] <SpiritHorse> had to reinfect my computer
[23:35] <vellu> yeah.... breaks my heart when evil shit shows up but i dont browse /fap/
[23:36] <SpiritHorse> fuck it, I did, once.
[23:36] <vellu> forgive yourself dont be paranoid
[23:37] <vellu> its just an moral dilemma dont think it too much it doesnt define you
[23:37] <vellu> God loves you
[23:38] <SpiritHorse> ah not the first time I've seen some stuff on the internet
[23:38] <SpiritHorse> from the land of 2400bps, I'll be good :
[23:40] <vellu> Just ask for help if you think you need it, consciousness knows if somethings wrong and needs fixing
[23:40] <vellu> i call god Conscniousness
[23:41] <vellu> consciousness*
[23:41] <Vigdis> deltab, any tip?
[23:41] <SpiritHorse> vellu: properly filed in roledex.
[23:41] <dbabadal> i need help vellu
[23:41] <vellu> what help do you need
[23:41] <dbabadal> i need you to purify me from my anxiety
[23:42] <vellu> :( thats bad, have you tried meditation
[23:42] <vellu> if its really bad you need medication and psychotherapy
[23:42] <dbabadal> i tried all of those
[23:42] <vellu> i have anxiety too so i know
[23:42] <vellu> have you tried some calming herbs
[23:42] <dbabadal> i take medication but im just getting worse
[23:42] <SpiritHorse> dbabadal: deep breaths and meditation (try it, really)... have been pretty meta on my anxiety
[23:43] <SpiritHorse> like, 90 minutes
[23:43] <vellu> what medication you have?
[23:43] <dbabadal> i have Anafranil, Seroquel
[23:43] <dbabadal> two more i dont recall
[23:44] <SpiritHorse> you need some haze and some kush
[23:44] <dbabadal> SpiritHorse>: would you teach me how to meditate
[23:44] <dbabadal> ?
[23:44] <vellu> you need Diapam or xanax
[23:44] <dbabadal> yeah I take xanax too
[23:44] <vellu> there are guided mediatations on youtube they are very helpful
[23:44] <SpiritHorse> dbabadal: hmm.. I'm unqualified to do that... but what I can do is point you into some videos and blogs I have used that helped me.
[23:45] <dbabadal> SpiritHorse>: that would be kind of you
[23:45] <deltab> Vigdis: sorry, reached the limit of my lvm knowledge
[23:45] <Vigdis> ok thanks :)
[23:45] <vellu> i wonder why doctors dont give you the help you need, one pill can cure the panic
[23:45] <vellu> or liquid diazepam
[23:46] <dbabadal> vellu: well doctors are not as philanthropic as they seem
[23:46] <vellu> they dont know what it feels like
[23:47] <vellu> i like psychologists
[23:47] <vellu> they are not so high and mighty and drug discussion is of the table
[23:47] <vellu> i would like to be a psychologist maybe someday and try to help people
[23:48] <vellu> but at the same time i would like to study computer science or AI
[23:48] <vellu> im an open dude i can talk about anything if someone needs help
[23:49] <dbabadal> vellu: thats a good intention to have, most people get into psychology this way, but they dont know what they are getting into, for how much it is intoxicated by academic doctrines
[23:49] <vellu> i have seen some shit, seriously
[23:49] <youtah> Wow. Upgraded from 18.04.2 to 18.04.3 and everything on my machine went to $#%@
[23:50] <vellu> Some bad people
[23:50] <youtah> Audio good bye. Cant open youtube. Spotify is broken. Localectl settings FUBAR.
[23:50] <youtah> anyone have any ideas on how to "reset" user settings? For like... everything?
[23:51] <youtah> Nuked basically anything that was cached
[23:51] <vellu> just create a new user
[23:51] <youtah> browser settings, etc
[23:51] <youtah> vellu, I'll try that
[23:51] <youtah> what a pain
[23:52] <argusbr> ? past
[23:52] <argusbr> ?paste
[23:52] <argusbr> how to solve https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZMRBX6jybJ/
[23:52] <dbabadal> vellu: i sent you a private message, is that ok?
[23:53] <vellu> yes its okay
