| texla | How do we upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04.3 from 18.04.2 | 00:50 |
| OerHeks | just apt full-upgrade/dist-upgrade | 00:50 |

| lucas_ai | I'm trying to read an H264 video stream in python but it seems there are NO libraries for this... wtf? - how am I supposed to decode H264 frames? | 01:35 |
| roothorick | I wanted some clarification... systemd-networkd documentation says the default for KeepConfiguration is "dhcp-on-stop" which means "systemd-networkd will not drop addresses and routes on stopping the daemon." Does this mean it's safe to assume that network interfaces are still active when the poweroff command is issued? | 01:44 |
| roothorick | My goal is to issue a shutdown command to a UPS over the network | 01:44 |
| roothorick | NUT won't work, as I'm turning off outlet groups, not the whole UPS, and this requires custom SNMP OIDs | 01:45 |
| roothorick | Why? Load shedding. Killing off a power hungry server so the firewall and WAP get more run time | 01:46 |

| Sakara | max is 19 and it mentions "east favorable to the process" which means it will still be scheduled is the machine isn't saturated | 06:34 |
| Sakara | EriC^^: I think I can run a yes(1) per CPU then setting nice of 19 for my thread might actually do the trick. I will try that now thanks. | 06:42 |
| MrCrackPot | freespirit-girl, you could try the #ubuntu-offtopic channel but this is mainly for the Ubuntu OS | 06:43 |

| CheetahPixie | Only actual references to non-systemd files are to a related service? to itself (rpcbind.socket), but that's it | 08:46 |

| pomeha | Hi. When I install ubuntu server and do apt upgrade for the first time - it asks whether I want to automatically (without prompts) restart dependent services upon upgrading some packages like libssl. How to later change that decision? Where is that decision stored? | 08:49 |
| EoflaOE | pomeha: The answer is stored through debconf. You can modify it using debconf-set-selections, and you can get decisions stored using debconf-get-selections. You may have to install debconf-utils though. Pastebin the output of debconf-get-selections. | 08:56 |
| pomeha | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: debconf-i18n | 08:58 |

| mastro | hi, I just upgraded from ubuntu 18.04 to Disco Dingo. After the upgrade i rebooted, and now I can't login. I put in my password i see it loading, i see the cursor on a black screen and then i'm back to login (login loop). Tried went on console and check for .xsessions-errors but the file isn't even there | 10:27 |
| mastro | ok, /var/log/syslog show a gnome crash with signal 6. Gjs:ERROR: ..... | 10:34 |
| mastro | this is the error https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/petres/gnome-shell-extension-extensions/17/485691333 | 10:35 |
| mastro | I looked at the error more closely, it was an extension causing the crash, fixed it with gnome-shell-extension-tool -d extensions@abteil.org | 10:39 |
| mastro | i'm really really really disgusted by the fact that an extension is not automatically disabled after a crash and that put an user into a login loop instead | 10:40 |
| mastro | I know my way around but most user wouldn't... this is not acceptable | 10:40 |
| huberp | Hallo. Is there an ETA for the kernel 5.0.0. without the mdadm rebuild bug? | 10:44 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 10:59 |
| zzarr | hello! | 11:14 |
| zzarr | if there's a package on a repository, how do I download it with wget? | 11:17 |
| Fuchs | zzarr: why would you want to? | 11:18 |
| Fuchs | zzarr: if you have apt at hand on the box, use the --download-only parameter instead | 11:19 |
| Fuchs | if you don't: yes, you can, you just need to figure out the Url, which might depend on whether the package is for a specific architecture etc. | 11:19 |
| zzarr | true, but I don't have a ubuntu disco armhf installation and I need the armhf version of glibc (2.29) for a raspberry pi (raspbian) | 11:19 |
| zzarr | I wish to compose a url to the glibc package for disco from ports.ubuntu.com | 11:20 |
| zzarr | I found it :) it's http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.29-0ubuntu3_armhf.deb | 11:24 |
| Habbie | zzarr, uh, you're going to install the disco glibc on raspbian? | 11:29 |
| zzarr | there is no glibc 2.29 for raspbian and to compile it takes forever | 11:30 |
| Habbie | why do you need 2.29? | 11:32 |
| zzarr | a software project | 11:32 |
| Habbie | aha | 11:33 |
| Habbie | well, i doubt that glibc will work on raspbian | 11:33 |
| Habbie | but i guess you're about to find out | 11:33 |
| zzarr | I have decided to debootstrap a disco install | 11:33 |
| zzarr | I have found out | 11:33 |
| Habbie | zzarr, what pi model? | 11:34 |
| zzarr | 3 | 11:34 |
| Habbie | ok, good | 11:34 |
| zzarr | debian version is buster, but no matter what version there's no newer glibc then 2.28 | 11:35 |
| Habbie | ubuntu/debian armhf code cannot run at all on the 1 | 11:35 |
| Habbie | indeed | 11:35 |
| zzarr | how do I get the signature for ports.ubuntu.com? | 11:38 |
| zzarr | (so I can use the repos) | 11:39 |
| zzarr | I tried to run the line sudo debootstrap --arch=armhf disco /ubuntu https://ports.ubuntu.com/ | 11:41 |
| zzarr | but I get this warning "W: Cannot check Release signature; keyring file not available /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg" | 11:41 |
| Habbie | apt install ubuntu-archive-keyring? | 11:42 |
| Habbie | or ubuntu-keyring | 11:43 |
| zzarr | I thought that would not work on debian (raspbian)... but it did | 11:46 |
| Habbie | zzarr, good :) | 11:46 |
| zzarr | :) | 11:46 |
| zzarr | thanks | 11:46 |

| maszlo | Is there a way to monitor if a kernel module stops working? My puzzle is this, I have a asus c202sa that is running ubuntu. the touchpad stops working at times and only solutions to fix it are to reboot, or to modprobe -r and then add it again. I have built other scripts for servers that would check to see if something is running and if it is do nothing else start it. but not sure this is possible with kernel modules | 13:06 |
| plm | EriC^^: more one think, I have more window, how I add. I have just 3 | 13:08 |
| plm | EriC^^: that windows that we change with CTRL + ALT + keys (-> <-, etc) | 13:08 |
| EriC^^ | maszlo: did you check "dmesg" for any errors about the module? | 13:11 |
| EriC^^ | plm: i'm not sure what you mean | 13:11 |
| EriC^^ | ctrl+alt+<number> doesnt do anything for me | 13:12 |
| plm | EriC^^: that all virtual window that you change with CTRL + ALT + (-> <-, etc) | 13:12 |
| maszlo | EriC^^: that is where I first looked.. oddly I didn't see anything. I was wondering if there was some command that would test a modules status or something like that to write into the script | 13:12 |
| plm | EriC^^: no number, | 13:12 |
| maszlo | I do not have the device with me at the moment. | 13:13 |
| plm | EriC^^: that key below of 'End' key | 13:13 |
| plm | EriC^^: ohh, I see here that it expand automatically, but just for down, not for right | 13:15 |
| EriC^^ | plm: oh ok, the arrow keys | 13:17 |
| plm | EriC^^: yes, the workspaces | 13:17 |
| plm | EriC^^: I would like do add for the right too | 13:17 |
| EriC^^ | maszlo: if you just wanted the status if it's loaded you could check with lsmod i guess, not sure about any real time info or output kinda stuff about it though | 13:21 |
| === Flexman is now known as Guest55658 | ||
| maszlo | EriC^^: yea I looked at that but not sure that will help since it would technically be loaded. or else the modprobe -r command would just yell at you :) | 13:23 |
| wgwz1 | does anyone know how to set the terminal in ubuntu 18.04 to not go to current working directory when opening a new tab? i want all new tabs to open in my home directory | 13:33 |
| LambdaComplex | Does the Ubuntu installer allow for disk encryption? | 13:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | LambdaComplex: yes, Ubuntu will offer one of two options... you can encrypt the entire disk, or you can encrypt only the user's home directory, or both | 13:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | sorry, that was three | 13:42 |
| EriC^^ | wgwz1: you could modify your ~/.bashrc i guess to do that | 14:02 |
| EriC^^ | ( add PWD=$HOME ) to the bottom of it | 14:04 |
| EriC^^ | wgwz1: actually if you edit your profile for the terminal, there's a "run command instead of shell" you can put "bash -i" there and it would give you a login shell with your home dir set | 14:08 |

| bernyrd | I have a modem with broken PPPoE. It has option "forward external IP over DHCP," so I use this. It allow 1 client to get external IP. Great, this did work, and works on Windows. But now on Ubuntu with netplan, I get assigned a 192.168.1.x address and not the external. On Windows this happens also, but after a few seconds it changes to the external IP by itself. | 14:56 |
| bernyrd | I am using netplan | 14:57 |
| bernyrd | basically I just set enp30s0 to ipv4 and dhcp | 14:57 |
| Sven_vB | hi! I'm a bit worried about the temperatures smartd reports in syslog: "smartd[962]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 187 to 181" smartctl --all reports "181" in the VALUE and WORST columns as "33 (Min/Max 11/51)" in the RAW column, and english Wikipedia says the lower byte is the actual temperature, but then I wonder, what's the VALUE and why would smartd report that instead of RAW? | 15:02 |
| Sven_vB | there's also a wide variety of VALUEs accross some machines I queried: http://paste.debian.net/plainh/8397babd | 15:03 |
| hans_ | what should i click if i want timezone UTC+0 ? https://i.imgur.com/7GD7aFT.png | 15:03 |
| Sven_vB | hans_, try to scroll down with arrow keys, there should be UTC somewhere | 15:04 |
| AlexP11223 | hm, does EXT4 really limits file names to 255 bytes? :( Even NTFS allows 255 characters and iirc there is an option to increase it | 15:04 |
| AlexP11223 | I have some files in google drive with non-English names that exceed this limit (mostly screenshots with the active window name) | 15:04 |
| hans_ | nope, the only alternatives are "Newfoundland", "Atlantic", "Eastern", "Central", "East Saskatchewan", "Saskatchewan", "Mountain", Pacific" and "<Go Back>" | 15:04 |
| hans_ | Sven_vB, ^ | 15:05 |
| hans_ | i don't get more options if i scroll down | 15:05 |
| hans_ | this is the 18.04 network installer, btw | 15:05 |
| Sven_vB | hans_, I'd try central, and hope there will still be a Back button if it's not in there. ;) | 15:05 |
| Sven_vB | you can probably change it later anyways | 15:05 |
| hans_ | when i said Central, it went all the way to "partition disks" | 15:06 |
| hans_ | dunno what Central means but yeah can probably change it latert | 15:06 |
| bernyrd | AlexP11223: Seems like it does. I always figured there was no limit. But, file name is 255, path size is 4096. | 15:07 |
| bernyrd | These are kind of small | 15:07 |
| Sven_vB | AlexP11223, dunno, I'd just rename them anyway. or you could create a virtual disk, i.e. a file with a(nother) filesystem in it. | 15:07 |
| bernyrd | AlexP11223: Consider this, though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits | 15:08 |
| Sven_vB | hans_, the installer may have limited your options based on the country you chose. (I assume you did, and picked USA). | 15:08 |
| bernyrd | I guess way you deal in Linux is same as Windows. Create soft loopback mount point. | 15:08 |
| bernyrd | So /mnt/long/path/.../over/4096 -> /mnt/long | 15:09 |
| hans_ | Sven_vB, actually i chose physical location "Canada" because the server is physically located in Canada, and i chose en_US.UTF-8 keyboard layout, for what that's worth | 15:09 |
| bernyrd | AlexP11223: Only 3 filesystem type allow >255, and of those only UniFS is one I aware of | 15:11 |
| AlexP11223 | yeah my issue is with the file name itself, not path. 255 bytes can be much less than 255 characters if the name is not in English, e.g. 255/2 for Russian | 15:13 |
| bernyrd | true, I think Thai is the worst | 15:23 |
| bernyrd | workaround I guess is don't do that | 15:23 |
| subcool | ok.. could someone explain this. Every time i start fresh on my install. I install windows, and then ubuntu. Every time i install ubuntu. Windows is no longer functional. at all | 15:26 |
| lordcirth | subcool, BIOS or EFI? What Windows version, Ubuntu version, and Ubuntu install method? | 15:27 |
| subcool | lordcirth, bios - i dont have much luck with efi. Windows 7 - ubuntu 18.04 - ubuntu graphical install | 15:28 |
| lordcirth | subcool, and what partitioning option do you choose in the installer? | 15:28 |
| subcool | just down, i heard the Chime of windows starting- but the graphics were jacked. | 15:28 |
| lordcirth | Oh, I thought you meant it just didn't boot | 15:29 |
| subcool | lordcirth, ? what do you mean? | 15:29 |
| subcool | lordcirth, sometimes - it doesnt even boot. | 15:29 |
| lordcirth | subcool, so Windows does boot, but the graphics are broken? Are you sure this doesn't also happen if you *don't* install Ubuntu, and just reboot? | 15:29 |
| subcool | i just re-imaged a usb to reinstall. | 15:29 |
| subcool | lordcirth, im sure. | 15:29 |
| lordcirth | That doesn't sound like any issue I've seen. | 15:30 |
| subcool | lordcirth, i stopped installing all the drivers to make windows work, because it pointless. i spend a couple hours and reboots making it operational. just for debian or ubuntu to kill it. (kinda, i still blame windows) | 15:30 |
| fromBeyond | Hi. Since many things broke with python3.7 i wanted to remove it from Ubuntu 19.04, and install 3.6. So i ran "sudo apt-get remove python3.7". This uninstalled many things, and now when i open the terminal, it is all black (I had gnome-terminal, oh my zsh before). Any tips what to do? I ran "sudo apt-get install python3.7" to try and revert, to no avail | 15:31 |
| subcool | Ok, is there a successful way to fix grub if i install windows second? every time i do it. grub-fix erros about a package manager being open. | 15:31 |
| lordcirth | fromBeyond, yeah, don't uninstall critical system packages. Look in /var/log/apt/ for all the dependent packages that also got removed, and reinstall them. | 15:32 |
| lordcirth | subcool, you could boot the Boot Repair ISO | 15:32 |
| fromBeyond | lordcirth: i did not know it was system critical. Big mistake on my part | 15:33 |
| lordcirth | fromBeyond, you said "This uninstalled many things". That's why apt shows you the list of packages and asks if you are sure. | 15:33 |
| Sven_vB | is there a way to tell X to leave my notebook display's backlight off even though I point and type via VNC? | 15:33 |
| subcool | lordcirth, is there a iso where i dont need 4 usbs? 1 for windows, 1 for ubuntu, 1 for boot repair. i need a damn keychain] | 15:34 |
| lordcirth | subcool, don't use Windows? :P | 15:35 |
| subcool | lordcirth, yeah, i know- i usually dont. it for just in case. - like i have a ODB2 program for my BMW. and it REQUIRES windows. :/ | 15:35 |
| fromBeyond | lordcirth: is there a way to "fix" this, without manually reintsalling everything? | 15:36 |
| * Sven_vB tried to use xrandr instead, but xrandr --display … --off makes VNC black out as well and his terminal emulator even crashes. | 15:36 | |
| fromBeyond | lordcirth: and thank you for the help | 15:36 |
| bernyrd | hi, I use netplan but it does not bring if up | 15:36 |
| fromBeyond | would something like sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop work? | 15:36 |
| === nemith_ is now known as nemith | ||
| lordcirth | fromBeyond, well, installing ubuntu-desktop will probably get most of it. | 15:36 |
| subcool | lordcirth, fromBeyond it doesnt. | 15:36 |
| bobjunga | @lordcirth, I have been looking for that for ever. multiboot-usb almost worked -- I dont think its maintained anymore, though | 15:37 |
| subcool | lordcirth, fromBeyond - there is a page one the web that give the full line of stuff you'd need. Using just that will piss it off. | 15:37 |
| lordcirth | fromBeyond, tbh, I'd probably just reinstall and save the trouble. But it should be fixable. | 15:37 |
| fromBeyond | subcool: which page, if you know | 15:38 |
| bug_sniper | Could someone help me with my gpu drivers please? I have an AMD RX 570 but Steam's system information instead says Video Card: | 15:39 |
| bug_sniper | Driver: X.Org AMD RAVEN (DRM 3.27.0, 5.0.0-25-generic, LLVM 9.0.0) | 15:39 |
| subcool | fromBeyond, sorry, i dont. i run across it occasionally when i want to install a desktop without doing a full install. but - usually if i do it wrong, it screws everything up and i start from scratch. | 15:39 |
| lordcirth | bug_sniper, what Ubuntu version? Did you install any drivers, ad if so, how? | 15:39 |
| Sven_vB | wow, looks like it wasn't my terminal emulator that crashed, but instead it was the GNU screen inside. then my terminal emulator closed normally. usually I use screen to make stuff survive terminal disconnects. such fail. :-( | 15:40 |
| Sven_vB | indeed, if just the TE had crashed, my remote SSH session would have survived. | 15:41 |
| fromBeyond | lordcirth: i am now manually reinstalling all removed packages | 15:44 |
| fromBeyond | will report if it works | 15:44 |
| fromBeyond | lordcirth: seems to be working | 15:49 |
| fromBeyond | thank you | 15:49 |
| fromBeyond | I did it using --- awk '!/^Start|^Commandl|^End|^Upgrade:|^Error:/ { gsub( /\([^()]*\)/ ,"" );gsub(/ ,/," ");sub(/^Install:/,""); print}' /var/log/apt/history.log --- | 15:49 |
| plm | How I add the datetime on the top side of my ubuntu? | 15:50 |
| dStruct | bug_sniper: are you running SteamOS or the steam client? | 15:51 |
| subcool | ok, odd one. Maybe its my USB, maybe its the hardware of the computer. Every time i try to install debian or ubuntu to my computer, it fails at installing the software. | 15:55 |
| subcool | ive reimaged the USB a few times. | 15:56 |
| bug_sniper | I'm running ubuntu | 15:58 |
| dStruct | bug_sniper: then it should just be a straight forward install of the driver, have you tried googling it? there is a lot of Ubuntu and linux related posts on how to do this | 15:58 |
| bug_sniper | the LTS version I downloaded 1 week ago | 15:58 |
| bug_sniper | I tried the proprietary driver and got the error "Failed to connect to lvmetag" error at every boot and it failed to boot | 16:00 |
| dStruct | subcool: how does it specifically fail? | 16:01 |
| bug_sniper | let me see if I can post a picture | 16:01 |
| bobjunga | plm: its normally there by default. what version you running? | 16:01 |
| subcool | dStruct, failed to install packages. doesnt really give a real error. | 16:01 |
| dStruct | subcool: interesting, is it a really old system, or do you maybe have something hardware related going on? | 16:01 |
| subcool | dStruct, not really. new ram. new HDD. | 16:02 |
| bug_sniper | https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-DkDePyPwnUZGAmdFMffWqFi6upAclqA | 16:02 |
| subcool | cant say much for the system itself. - it installs windows without a problem | 16:02 |
| dStruct | subcool: did you checksum the USB image before you wrote it to the USB, maybe it's a bad stick or bad download? | 16:02 |
| subcool | dStruct, nah. i didnt. im trying a new USB now. i thought it might be the USb's too. | 16:03 |
| subcool | just getting a second opinion while they format | 16:03 |
| bug_sniper | then after reinstalling ubuntu, I followed the guide at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1094443/ubuntu-18-04-1-lts-r9-390x-amdgpu-guide-testing-summary and nothing appears to have happened | 16:04 |
| bug_sniper | I mean, it shows the mesa drivers, but I don't have 4Gb of video memory and graphics aren't any better and I still don't have 8GB of ram | 16:05 |
| dStruct | subcool: you know that part under the download page that says verify your download? If you're writing the USB image from a linux machine use that command, or if on windows you can download something like sha256.exe to make sure it's valid | 16:06 |
| subcool | k | 16:07 |
| mandude | Hello. I am on 18.04 LTS. I wonder if you have firefox developer edition in ubunt? | 16:07 |
| ioria | !info firefox-dev | 16:09 |
| ubottu | firefox-dev (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla - development files. In component main, is extra. Version 68.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 14 kB, installed size 235 kB | 16:09 |
| mandude | No, that's just the dev packages in ubuntu | 16:09 |
| mandude | mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ this guy | 16:09 |
| mandude | Firefox for web developers | 16:09 |
| bug_sniper | dStruct, lordcirth, need any more info? | 16:09 |
| dStruct | mandude: I'm not sure if there's an Apt package somewhere already for firefox dev edition, but I've used it on Ubuntu just by installing it from the website if that helps | 16:10 |
| dStruct | mandude: I don't do much web dev any more though, but I used to have a company back in the day | 16:10 |
| mandude | Ok thanks | 16:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | mandude: Ubuntu does not provide the Developer Edition of Firefox in it's default software repositories. You can add the PPA, however, support is limited for PPA installed software here. Issues with PPAs must be directed at the maintainer | 16:10 |
| mandude | I work at Initech | 16:10 |
| mandude | I make finance software. | 16:10 |
| mandude | </office space> | 16:10 |
| mandude | ok thanks | 16:11 |
| mandude | I will download it and make it installed myself | 16:11 |
| mandude | put it in a shortcut in /usr/local/bin/firefox-dev | 16:11 |
| lordcirth | bug_sniper, when you say "I tried the proprietary driver", how did you install that? | 16:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | mandude: Please don't, use the PPA as it will create far less issues for you in the long run: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-aurora | 16:11 |
| mandude | Oh ok | 16:12 |
| dStruct | bug_sniper: well if you just want to install the AMD drivers, I would recommend going to the AMD website, and downloading/installing their package. Unfortunately that is 3rd party software so it cannot really be supported here | 16:12 |
| mandude | sure | 16:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | mandude: This is a really well written article that can help you with the whole process. It offers the different installation methods and what the author needed to do to get things up and running on their system: https://askubuntu.com/a/548005 | 16:13 |
| mandude | Thanks | 16:13 |
| mandude | Oh yeah no I don't use ubuntu | 16:13 |
| mandude | Well I do but I don't. | 16:13 |
| dStruct | #fired | 16:13 |
| bug_sniper | by reinstall ubuntu, I mean a fresh restart. I'm trying both proprietary and mesa drivers | 16:13 |
| mandude | So that's not helpful to me. Thanks though | 16:13 |
| mandude | I am on 18.04 but I did a minimal netinsta and built my Xmonad minimal desktop from scratch | 16:13 |
| mandude | I don't use any gui stuff really. | 16:14 |
| bug_sniper | lordcirth, I downloaded the tar from amd's website and ran "sudo amdgpu-pro-install" | 16:14 |
| lordcirth | bug_sniper, that's generally not a good idea | 16:15 |
| lordcirth | bug_sniper, try 'ubuntu-drivers autoinstall' | 16:15 |
| plm | bobjunga: ubuntu 18.4 | 16:15 |
| plm | bobjunga: the datetime do not show here | 16:15 |

| e|f | Hi :) | 16:43 |
| e|f | What's a good IRC client for ubuntu please? | 16:43 |
| bobjunga | plm: also Installing and running "gnome-tweaks" gives you some control on how the date and time are displayed in its "top bar" section | 16:45 |
| fl-int | e|f, HexChat (GUI) | 16:45 |
| e|f | is HexChat similar to Xchat (that's what i'm using right now)? | 16:45 |
| fl-int | yes it is | 16:45 |
| e|f | ok | 16:45 |
| fl-int | try it | 16:46 |
| e|f | HexChat is better than Xchat? | 16:46 |
| e|f | also I'm trying to do a bit of scripting for Xchat (I know a bit of Perl) but can't seem to get scripts to work when doing "use Xchat" | 16:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | e|f: Xchat is no longer in active development. Hexchat was a fork to offer a compiled version without charging a price | 16:48 |
| bobjunga | fl-int: just installed hexchat. can it auto register your nick when you connect? I did not see a config for that | 16:49 |
| e|f | pragmaticenigma: ok | 16:50 |
| e|f | brb | 16:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | bobjunga: In the Network dialog, select the IRC service ,then click edit button | 16:51 |
| e|f | ok, i'm back and am on HexChat | 16:54 |
| e|f | i wanted a GUI-based IRC client for ubuntu. Are there any others worth considering aside from Xchat and Hexchat? | 16:54 |
| bobjunga | pragmaticenigma: got it, thanks. | 16:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | e|f: Hexchat is the most widely supported and used. If you want to seek recommendations, it would be better to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic. This channel focuses more on support of the applications you have already installed (provided through official Ubuntu software channels) on your machine. | 16:57 |
| e|f | ok | 16:59 |
| woenx | Hey. I am trying to configure an OpenVPN in ubuntu (as a client) | 17:01 |
| woenx | I have my ovpn file, and I can use it running sudo openvpn --config file.ovpn | 17:01 |
| woenx | and it works, so far so good. But I want to import that file so it can be toggled in the network menu at the top of the screen | 17:02 |
| woenx | (where the wifi appears and all) | 17:02 |
| woenx | So if I go to the network settings, I cannot import from file because "Error: the plugin does not support import capabilities" | 17:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | woenx: "sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome" | 17:04 |
| woenx | So instead, i run "sudo nmcli connection import type openvpn file file.ovpn", to make it appear in the network menu. | 17:04 |
| woenx | and it appears, it connects to the network... but not with the same settings | 17:04 |
| woenx | particularly, it is ignoring the option: "redirect-gateway def1 block-local", where the remote network has priority over the local one in case of conflicting subnets | 17:05 |
| woenx | (again, running it as sudo openvpn --config file.ovpn works) | 17:05 |
| woenx | any ideas? | 17:07 |
| woenx | nevermind, I think I found it: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668165 | 17:08 |
| woenx | nop, it's not that | 17:11 |
| woenx | the routing table is quite different depending on which option you use... | 17:16 |
