=== zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:23] hello! My ubuntu desktop can't find my Sony wh-1000xm3 headphones via bluetooth, but it finds my galaxy s1 [01:23] s10* [01:23] any ideas on what could be causing this? it is on pairing mode and my wife can see it on her phone [01:25] hi all, I can install ubuntu server on headless hardware fine. But it is not recognizing the HDD, it's ending up trying to boot from pxe. I re-installed ubuntu 18.04.2 multiple times. Right now I am at a screen showing "install ubuntu server" "OEM install" "install maas region controller" "rescue a broken system" But I don't know to fix the grub from this screen. Any advice? thanks! [01:25] allure: a few wild guesses: (a) do your headphones have a limit to how many devices they will pair with? have you hit that limit? what's it do once you hit it? [01:25] allure, i installed blueman, much better control / auth / pair devices [01:25] !info blueman [01:25] blueman (source: blueman): Graphical bluetooth manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.5-1ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 1645 kB, installed size 4904 kB [01:26] sarnold: honestly, not sure :) I will check [01:26] OerHeks: I am using it too :( [01:26] allure: (b) bluetooth has something like a thousand different protocols (okay slight exaggeration) and both endpoints have to speak the same protocols; which protocols do your headphones support and which ones do your bluetooth thing in your machine supoprt? how about bluez? [01:26] no need to 'trust' the device, easy peasy. make sure it is unpaired with other devices ofcourse [01:26] ironpillow: rescue ought to give you a prompt of some sort.. [01:27] I can't get bluetooth to work in ubuntu 19 [01:27] OerHeks: I put it in pairing mode, still won't find it :( [01:27] sarnold: I've seen people pairing it to ubuntu 19 (like I am doing) on forums, I just won't see it listed anywhere :-( [01:27] cluelessperson: same :-/ [01:27] sometimes the 1st time can take up a minute [01:27] sarnold: it's goes into booting from blind mode [01:28] also I'm getting these weird error messages in syslog [01:28] Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 32 with keysym 32 (keycode b) [01:28] thousands of them [01:28] unhelpful log messages suck [01:30] I might go back to ubuntu 18, seemed far more stable [01:30] if I install another distro, it won't be ubuntu this time.. too many issues with 19 got me scarred : [01:30] :p [01:32] allure 18 is long term support release, and it's been out longer. It'll be more reliable. [01:32] sarnold: error: no suitable video mode found. Booting in blind mode [01:32] ironpillow: hmm -- do you need to add console=serial or something to the rescue command line? [01:32] sarnold: let me try it [01:32] cluelessperson: true, but I like the bleeding edge and, for that, ubuntu is not that great [01:32] :/ [01:32] mint is nice sometimes [01:32] but sometimes less stable [01:34] ironpillow: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst -- you may need to look at your BMC docs to figure out what serial port it pretends to be [01:34] discovery visable? https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/bluetooth-problem-connecting.html.en [01:35] turned off standard, iirc [01:35] OerHeks: I can see my S10 and I can see it on my wifes phone... [01:35] should just work :) [01:35] brb === fginther is now known as fginther` === SignalsOut1 is now known as SignalsOut [02:14] hi, is there a way or a tool to save something like "ps aux" per session ? I mean I'd like to know what process was running a specific pid before my last reboot. [02:24] what is the difference between main and universe [02:28] kinda surprised to see python-pip in universe [02:36] easy to find; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#The_Four_Main_Repositories [02:46] hi all, hard drive is being recognized when I am installing from usb iso. everything goes ok without errors, but when I reboot hard drive is not recognized and UEFI shell boots up. Has the HDD gone bad? [03:15] ironpillow: Installed in legacy mode ? .. what results changing the boot option in the firmware ? === Evie_ is now known as Evie^2 [03:17] Bashing-om: I tried both legacy and UEFI modes. Sorry which boot option are you referring to? HDD is not showing up on the boot menu, only usb flash drive and pxe boot. But I don't have pxe boot server. [03:20] ironpillow: Every manufacturer inplements UEFI differenrly - no telling how yoyr firmware is set up, .. boot a liveUSB to try ubuntu mode and pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . see what gets seen. [03:28] Bashing-om: my hardware is headless and has not graphic mode. Every time I try to boot from IiveUSB get the installation screen and I can't get into terminal. [03:47] ironpillow: Out of my skill set too - to know how to deal with that. [03:47] Bashing-om: no worries. thanks for taking the time. I somehow booted into grub rescue> prompt [03:49] ironpillow: grub command 'ls' shows partitions ? [03:50] Bashing-om: yes, (hd0) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) [03:52] ironpillow: There is hope then this is but a bootloader issue - others will have to guide in this event as I do not know UEFI . [03:52] Bashing-om: got it. thanks :) [04:00] So on 19.04 my apps seem to be opening on my second monster instead of my primary one [04:05] I just reinstalled 18.04 on my desktop machine, and then set up my /home VG afterwards. When I rebooted with the new /home, it looked like Ubuntu set everything up for me a second time. [04:05] But certain things are missing, like the default .bashrc . What else might I be missing, and is there a way to make Ubuntu run the full first-time user setup? === xeon is now known as bqq [04:15] hi do i have to do ssd-related tweaks nowadays as suggested years ago in: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1400/how-do-i-optimize-the-os-for-ssds [04:18] bqq, no. currently Trim (discard) is enabled to run weekly by default in 18.04. It is a systemd service managed via systemctl. and white spots are long gone. [04:18] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1034169/is-trim-enabled-on-my-ubuntu-18-04-installation [04:20] OerHeks: what do you mean by white spots? [04:20] sectors that wear out easily [04:20] so, have fun! [04:21] how about other tweaks in that question? [04:22] like fs, scheduler, .. [04:23] no, noatime, nodiratime, is an opinion, and that guide is too old. [04:26] using tmpfs on /tmp, /var/log, and others; noop scheduling? [05:40] Hello. I am using a Dark theme on Ubuntu 18.04.2 and the VirtualBox looks terrible. All fonts have gone white and tried a few QT variables from google but nothing worked [05:40] any clues please? tx [07:24] is there anything in ubuntu os wide that would disable drm [07:27] disable drm on what? [07:29] well i just installed ubuntu 19.04 the other day and suddenly DRM doesnt play in FF [07:29] on any site even though its enabled [07:29] in the FF pres. its off by default but i turned it on [07:30] I wasnt gonna ask that really in here because it may be just FF but its weird. brand new profile. [07:33] oh so same in chromium [07:35] seems to work in chrome [07:35] well so far thats only sptofiy but im also testing other sites [07:38] all drm seems to work in chrome but not chromium of ff [07:44] drm? [07:44] oh [07:45] wait digital rights mgmt or gpu drm? [07:45] digital rights management [08:30] Is it better to install chrome, skype, etc.. from a deb package or snap/flatpak? [08:31] skype is best from snap, not sure there is flatplak, nor is flatpack enabled. [08:32] chrome, just install the deb, it contains the repo info & key [08:35] OerHeks: Thanks for the advice. === dionysus70 is now known as dionysus69 [08:51] how do you guys manager the files that appimages leave around? [08:52] one should manage those manually, there is no tool /plugin for nautilus or like that [08:53] err synaptic [08:53] and appimages do not update, right? [08:53] snaps do === dijitol1 is now known as dijitol [09:19] Hi. How can i remove one of my LUKS keys for my hdd? [09:19] sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/lubuntu-vg/root/ gives not output. [09:20] uio: https://linux.die.net/man/8/cryptsetup luksRemoveKey [09:20] uio: but you must of course find what your partition is that has the LUKS header on it [09:20] uio: so keep looking with luksDump to try to find it. [09:21] uio: look in /etc/crypttab, it should contain your LUKS partitions that are automatically started at boot [09:23] SwedeMike, Thanks. I see sda5_crypt [09:23] But sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda5_crypt gives nothing. [09:24] SwedeMike, Well, "Le périphérique /dev/sda5_crypt n'existe pas ou l'accès y est interdit." actually. [09:24] doesn't exist or access is denied. [09:25] uio: /dev/sda5_crypt is the decrypted storage, you'll need to wok on the encrypted one [09:25] tomreyn, Okay, how can I find it? [09:26] in disks? [09:26] uio: what does the cryptsetup line say? [09:26] that mentions sda5_crypt? [09:26] doesn't exist or access is denied. [09:26] uio: if you found sda5_crypt in crypttab, then you'll also find the encrypted one on the same line [09:27] uio: "sudo grep sda5 /etc/crypttab" and paste the output [09:27] chances are it's /dev/sda5 [09:27] better to know for sure. [09:27] Is this info sensitive? [09:27] Big long line of numbers and letters... [09:28] That one? [09:28] a UUID? [09:28] uio: if it says "UUID=" and numbers then it's not sensitive [09:28] Right. [09:28] Cool. [09:28] sda5_crypt UUID=fcfc9a97-23d2-4134-820e-f90f54b6daae none luks,discard [09:29] uio: "sudo blkid" and look for that uuid [09:29] "sudo blkid | grep fcfc9a" [09:30] blkid --uuid fcfc9a97-23d2-4134-820e-f90f54b6daae [09:30] sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda5 gave output... [09:31] Of both the keys. [09:31] I'd like to remove key 2 [09:31] which is called slot 1 [09:31] uio: https://linux.die.net/man/8/cryptsetup luksRemoveKey [09:33] SwedeMike, tomreyn Okay. I think we're good :) [09:33] Thanks for your help! [09:34] I want to reinstall on the same machine and use one of the same keys. Would this be a security issue? Ie, if someone learns the re-used key could they somehow access my old files? Should I rewrite with zeros to be safe? [10:24] hi [10:26] tomreyn: are you there and available? [10:27] sorry pinging you.. [11:28] Hi folks [11:35] B|ack0p: There's no 1-on-1 support offering here. Please state the question / issue. If someone's available to help with it, they will respond. [11:44] tomreyn: sorry [11:46] B|ack0p: no problem, i'm just explaining my POV on how we do support here. [11:49] hi I'm looking for a solution to use my android device as a touchpad on ubuntu [11:49] there's an app for this on windows and mac [11:49] but no love for ubuntu, or linux at all ? [11:50] x000: https://rarcher.github.io/couch-potato-server/downloads.html [11:50] bing + "android as touchpad for linux" gives https://www.maketecheasier.com/remote-control-ubuntu-android-phone/ [11:51] more suggestions https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/15-android-apps-remote-control-linux-pc/ [11:57] When I do ping example.server it pings the WRONG ip address [11:57] i try to install Lubuntu on VM, i can choose the language and start Lubuntu .. but then it's not starting .. what to do ? [11:58] cluelessperson: Host example.server not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) [11:59] .. you see "example" right? [11:59] I found it, my bad [11:59] had to restart the cache on the dns server, meh [12:00] ph88: when is "then" exactly? after installing, when you reboot? [12:00] or does the live system from your installer not start up properly? [12:05] the live system doesn't start [12:05] i get to see text EDAC pnd2: Failed to register device with error -19. [12:05] Which i googled and should be a "normal" error when there is no ECC ram available [12:06] tomreyn, and then nothing ... just that text [12:06] ph88 what os is the host, and what vm software? [12:10] synology DSM os host [12:10] vm software i don't know [12:13] Is it ok to format a pendrive with only one partition? [12:13] it's going to be used for file storage only [12:17] hi!

[14:16] !woeusb [14:16] Ubuntu does not have a recommended tool for preparing bootable Windows installation USBs. If you need one, consider using Microsoft's media creation tool from a Windows computer (see ##windows for support). If this is not an option, there are third-party unsupported tools like WoeUSB ( https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB , sudo snap install --edge woe-usb ) that might work. [14:16] ioria: woeusb create UEFI by default which is not supported by my system [14:16] i had ubuntu installed already i want to add windows [14:16] ah, didn't know that [14:17] nope, "Legacy/MBR-style/IBM PC compatible bootmode" [14:17] there is no option for that [14:23] afidegnum: there's woeusb snap if you want [14:24] lotuspsychje: i have woeusb installed already which create an EFI bootable, does snap offers an MBR version? [14:24] afidegnum: not sure, didnt test that myself [14:41] any insight ? [14:42] afidegnum, no, but you may try with the cli version [14:43] I am running Ubuntu on a VMware Workstation VM on a laptop host machine with 16GB RAM, 1 Wireless adapter and 1 NIC of 1GB speed, the VM is picking up only 10MB speed for the connection when my host laptop is connected via WIFI - although my VM says it is 'wired' and I don't see my wireless adapter in my VM - why not? and why getting this limited speed? Network adapter is 'Natted' [14:43] afidegnum, sudo woeusb --target-filesystem NTFS --device ~/Downloads/Win10.iso /dev/sdX [14:44] ok, let me try [15:03] ^hello, is there anything needed to be taken care of using rsync in rsnapshot with ntfs drives? [15:03] i get this error: ERROR: Warning! /bin/rm failed. [15:04] Surfer2011: you received suggestions yesterday, did any of those help? [15:05] how can i check as what user the rsnapshot will be started?

[16:18] ioria: how do i do the fsck.ext4 -f /dev/ ? ... do i need to unmount it? [16:21] and would it make any difference to mount it as ntfs-3g ??? [16:24] Hi, sorry, having a massive brain lapse -- what is the standard format for placing an 'override' config file containing some select text that should take priority over what is in the main file? If I want to override some options in /folder/gtk.css, is it to make /folder/gtk.css.d , then put files names whatever I want in that with a line or two of css in them? Feels not quite right... [16:33] ntfsfix and fsck was fine [16:41] fsck was definitely fine [17:03] tomreyn: Any progress on the Nvidia issue ? [17:07] ty sarnold snap did work [17:37] Hello there -- how can I display a log file in real time in ubuntu?, [17:37] maybe this is more of a general linux question - not sure [17:37] for instance tail command to display last lines -- and I need to display the logs in real time in my access.log file for nginx [17:38] Not sure if what I need has a specific more technical name [17:38] :) [17:40] Ubuntu in 16GB RAM, Chromium, 4GB swapfile goes better than in Chrome 2GB swapfile (many tabs open both cases) [17:40] axy tail -f /var/log/syslog [17:40] -f or --follow [17:42] cluelessperson thanks! you saved my day [17:42] however the last kernel version has increased the power consumption from around 17+W to 40+ [17:52] Hello, where would printer log files go to if a print job keeps stopping... I [17:52] I'm battling a printer setup and my latest problem is every job get's "Stopped" [17:55] hello. i try to install Lubuntu but the live CD is not continueing to start in the synology VM .. what can i do ?? [18:14] Hi, I would like to spindown the hdd after 3 minutes. I already added the recommended lines to hdparm.conf. Unfortunately nothing happen after 3 Minutes. If I use the hdparm -y /dev/sdb the hdd spindown. Is it necessary to activate (in some ways) hdparm ? [19:12] about a year ago I made this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/1799084 but there hasn't been a single comment to date. What's the next steps? [19:12] Launchpad bug 1799084 in gthumb (Ubuntu) "Gthumb Memory Leak" [Undecided,New] [19:13] zetheroo, one option could be to bribe the maintainer to make them care. ;) [19:13] :D [19:13] zetheroo: did you file this bug yourself? [19:14] yes [19:14] zetheroo: when you file bugs to ubuntu, its reccomended to use ubuntu-bug [19:15] there once was a Ubiquity bug that made it crash due to memory exhaustion. several people had that problem. I published a patch for it. afaik it never got mainlined, so I had to maintain my patcher for 3 generations of ubuntu just to be able to install it. then some day I switched to another installer so I don't need to cope with Ubiquity anymore. [19:17] Sven_vB: thats why we created the #ubuntu-discuss bug team, to create a greater audience to affect bugs [19:17] (the patch itself stayed the same btw. I just wrote an automatic patcher because I guessed I'll need it.) [19:17] sorry, got disconnected .. what did I miss? [19:17] somebody once told me the world is gonna ruin me [19:17] zetheroo: did you try apport-collect BUGid ? [19:17] Soo_Slow, I'll be happy to help with that. :) [19:18] :( [19:19] zetheroo: a few other tricks to get attention to your bug is, find other affected users [19:19] zetheroo: and do some tests yourself, and keep your bug updated, alive [19:19] lotuspsychje: I cannot recall now how I reported this issue back then [19:20] zetheroo: by launchpad manual, cause no system info shows in your bug [19:20] lotuspsychje: nothing has changed since I opened the bug report. Still the same issue. I'm really surprised more people don't experience this as well. [19:21] zetheroo: you need to give a little hand to bugs, try things [19:21] zetheroo, especially with the memory exhaustion type bugs, a lot of power users just don't experience them because they use insane amounts of RAM on all their notebooks. [19:21] lotuspsychje: thing is, I don't really know where to start with this. [19:22] Sven_vB: I had 16GB of memory on my last laptop and it was used right up [19:23] zetheroo, "used" is usual in linux, it doesn't imply it's unavailable. [19:23] zetheroo, lots of caches are kept around until something more important needs their space. [19:24] used up .. meaning ... swap was also being used up ... laptop freezing up ... can't do anything until gthumb crashes [19:25] uplink comment #15 looks like it was fixed in version 3.5.2. you could report those good news to launchpad in case the maintainer there is waiting for upstream to fix it. [19:25] err, upstream [19:25] not uplink [19:26] zetheroo: a start would be: apport-collect 1799084 [19:27] lotuspsychje: I don't know what that is :( [19:27] zetheroo: also, does this bug still happen on your updated system 18.04.3? [19:27] yes [19:27] zetheroo, have you considered mitigating the impact with ulimit until it's fixed? that way only the image viewer should crash instead of a system freeze. [19:27] zetheroo: apport collect gathers your system info & logs into your bug, they are needed for the devs to debug better [19:28] ok [19:28] zetheroo, also a good idea would be to try and check the updated upstream package. if it's fixed there, the debug info is redundant. [19:29] the maintainers would just need to merge the fix. [19:29] good idea Sven_vB [19:30] !info gthumb disco [19:30] gthumb (source: gthumb): image viewer and browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:3.6.2-4 (disco), package size 946 kB, installed size 3695 kB [19:30] !info gthumb bionic [19:30] gthumb (source: gthumb): image viewer and browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:3.6.1-1 (bionic), package size 940 kB, installed size 3514 kB [19:32] ok well I did the apport-collect 1799084 thingy [19:33] zetheroo: i dont see it in your bug yet [19:35] I did it again now [19:36] it collects the info and then shows it to me and I click 'Send' [19:40] zetheroo, that memory leak seems to be a common issue; have you tried the latest upstream ver or downgrade it ? [19:42] ioria: how do I try a newer version? [19:42] i just did a fresh install of ubuntu and any sites that uses drm like spotify.com or songsterr.com or yahoo news videos which all use drm do not work [19:43] DRM never works anyway. ;) [19:43] zetheroo, http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gthumb/3.8/ (if you know how to ) [19:43] i used to be able to listen to spotify [19:43] in ubuntu [19:43] until i reinstalled ubuntu\ [19:44] ioria: so this would be something I would have to compile myself I suppose [19:44] devslash2: "ubuntu-restricted-extras" installed ? as maybe the sites require non-free codeces ? [19:44] are you sure you have the required licenses etc.? maybe your new Ubuntu install just looks like a new device, in which case the malfunction might be the exact purpose of DRM. [19:44] does anyone know why DRM doesnt work at all [19:44] zetheroo, kinda : https://askubuntu.com/questions/789400/how-to-downgrade-gthumb-in-16-04 [19:44] how do i check [19:45] devslash2: ' dpkg -l ubuntu-restricted-extras ' . [19:46] that was it thanks [19:46] ioria: I am using the version shipped with 18.04, an LTS release of Ubuntu, and I don't really see downgrading as a 'solution'. It's just surprising that something with such a noticeable bug gets into an LTS and doesn't get fixed. :/ [19:47] ok [19:47] ioria: but thanks for your help anyhow ;) [19:47] I'll just wait for 20.04 and hope it's fixed by then [19:48] zetheroo, consider ulimit ;) [19:49] I even opened an issue here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gthumb/issues/36 [19:49] 4 months since last contact ... :D [20:57] Where is the dvb tuners listed in the ubuntu system? === raidgh0st is now known as raidghost [22:12] Hi.
