[02:11] it's a shame that computers can only run one program at a time in 2019 [02:12] doug16K: perhaps they don't have all that much memory, or maybe they are using an IRC App on their phone. [02:14] hopefully they have a good reason to disconnect immediately. on phone wireless internet would be a legitimate reason I suppose [02:17] !java [02:17] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [02:17] sudo update-alternatives --config java [02:21] OerJeks: nice thought, but no dice. :( [02:22] Does do-release-upgrade preview which packages will be removed/installed before going through with it? [02:24] jilocasin, should work, what is wrong? [02:25] pcworld, no, i don't hink so [02:25] hmm any way I can do it? I want to make sure it doesn't mess up my system too much [02:25] like in Debian, I could switch the sources.list and then do a dry run with apt [02:26] wait, for a distro upgrade? [02:26] yes [02:26] grinn [02:26] make a fresh usb with the iso, the do release upgrade and have fun [02:27] what does running it from a live system change vs running it directly on the OS? [02:27] OerHeks: Package openjdk-7-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [02:27] openjdk7 ?? man that is way old [02:28] OerHeks: So I installed the latest 1.7 from tar.jz [02:28] only 8 or 11 openjdk available [02:28] OerHeks: Works fine, but I can't seem to get Ubuntu re recognize it as the DEFAULT jdk/jre [02:28] good luck, not supported here, jilocasin [02:29] 8 instead of 11 should be close enough to 7 ?? [02:29] OerHeks: so how would you make _any_ manually installed jdk (regardless of version) the default one? [02:29] i am not going to find out why it is not in a %path% or something, useless as it is EOL [02:31] OerHeks: unfortunately there is still plenty of code the requires it. [02:37] jilocasin, no there is no legal base for using openjdk7, certainly not outside the repos. [02:37] i hope that machine is not online [02:41] oO [02:42] OerHeks: behind a couple of others, but yes, indirectly. [03:17] hello, how can i install ‘python usb’ and ‘libusb’? [03:17] !info python-usb [03:17] python-usb (source: pyusb): USB interface for Python. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0-1 (bionic), package size 36 kB, installed size 234 kB [03:17] it is in universe [03:18] !info libusb-1.0 [03:18] OerHeks: it is preinstalled already? [03:18] libusb-1.0-doc (source: libusb-1.0): documentation for userspace USB programming. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.0.21-2 (bionic), package size 165 kB, installed size 1454 kB [03:18] optional, both [03:18] oh how can i install it? [03:18] then? [03:19] sudo apt install or use synaptic, more detailed softwarecenter gui [03:19] lol i don’t know package name :( [03:20] i gave them, see ubottu [03:20] how hard can this be.. [03:55] so my apps seem to be opening on the wrong monitor with my dual monitor setup [04:06] Bray90820: So move the application to the window that you want to use them on? Most applications will either start on the monitor that current has the focus of the mouse; of if the application supports it, the application will re-open on the monitor it was last displayed on. [04:07] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man1/devilspie.1.html [04:18] pragmaticenigma: that's now what's happening it seems like most of the time apps open on the secondary monitor whoch I don't really want because most of the time that monitor is off [04:53] bye all [05:37] hi [05:37] anyone arround? [05:40] i need some help running a command as a second user when logged in as my main user [05:40] i am trying to run 2 instances of a sound app that creates a config file [05:40] i need 2 different configs [05:41] i can run the second instance as root just fine, but i dont think that's kosher [05:43] Keres, sudo -u usernamehere commandhere [05:43] or to just get an interactive prompt, sudo -u usernamehere -i [05:43] oh, needs -H to set home dir [05:44] so sudo -u user2 -H ~/user2 command ? [05:44] no no, just -H no ~/user2 [05:44] it sets home dir to user2's home [05:45] sudo -u user2 -H command [05:46] you may want to just spawn a shell as user2: sudo -u user2 -Hi [05:46] ALSA lib seq_hw.c:466:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission deniedsnd_seq_open() error -13: Permission denied [05:47] now, if i su root, the app runs perfectly [05:47] and creates a different .ini file in the /root folder [05:47] ah, because user2 doesn't have permission to open the sound device, because it isn't user2's desktop [05:47] right [05:48] and this is all about sound devices and MIDI [05:48] you can try sudo chmod a+rw /dev/snd/seq [05:48] then run that again, should grant user2 permission [05:49] well there's a ton of things that are 'Permission denied' [05:49] so just that device won't work [05:50] Can't initialize SDL video subsystem: No available video device [05:50] for example [05:50] app uses SDL2 [05:51] all you want to do is change the home dir for some command? [05:51] HOME=/somewhere/else somecommand [05:52] and forget user2 [05:53] or, if you want to do lots in a shell with a different home, just: HOME=/some/path bash [05:54] exit to go back to normal [05:54] prompt will look funny because bash won't do all the normal things that your real home's config says [05:55] ~ will be /some/path, `cd` by itself will go home, etc [05:55] none of this is working [05:56] all have weird errors [05:56] don't ask XY question then, what are you trying to do? [05:56] trying to run 2 copies of sunvox without crashing out of the submodules [05:57] if i edit a metamodule it has conflicts in the config and crashes [05:57] or submodule [05:58] essentially it allows you to store other songs as insturments, but it tracks your last "session" which... if you are using multiple copies it gets confused [05:59] the author seems to think that all i have to do is make 2 folders with independent copies of the app [05:59] but that's not working [05:59] oh this is a GUI program? good luck with running it as a different user [06:00] yeah, it's a GUI app [06:00] it work as root [06:00] ya because root kicks the door down when permission is questioned [06:01] well thanks, i will take it up with the author [08:38] hello. i try to install Lubuntu but the live CD is not continueing to start in the synology VM .. what can i do ?? [08:49] ph88, did you verify the ISO checksum? (there is a check disc for defects option on the first menu that easily allows for this) [08:58] guiverc2 . i thought that was for the local harddisk === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [10:00] Suppose I have a folder with a bunch of video files, and I want to extract the audio from all the video files and create audio files out of them. What's the best way to do that? [10:01] depends on the file type [10:01] theyre all mp4s and I want to extract mp3s ideally [10:05] check out MP4Box === xeon is now known as bqq [10:54] <_Sean_> anyone here good with Preseeds? I'm an old rpm guy having to move to the dark side for a bit. I've got a decent preseed that will go from start to finish for a fairly base install but am getting kicked now that i've moved over to building in full disk encryption - anyone have some working 18.04 examples that they might be willing to share? [10:56] <_Sean_> i've gotten the installer to actually finish, prompts for encryption key, and completes but the drive isn't bootable - haven't dug into it yet, pretty much left it at that last night [11:09] <_KaszpiR_> _Sean_ something like: [11:09] <_KaszpiR_> d-i partman-crypto/passphrase string my-preseed-luks-pass [11:09] <_KaszpiR_> d-i partman-crypto/passphrase-again string my-preseed-luks-pass [11:10] I'm in the middle of configuring a new build environment [11:20] <_Sean_> yeah, i think i might have broke the boundaries of available disk - hopefully that's all it is, will be a bit before i can dig into it [11:29] <_KaszpiR_> yeah partitions + luks on debian/ubuntu is a bit panful [11:49] Howdy all [11:51] testing something... pardon my dust, won't be long [11:52] that's it... cheers [12:02] <_Sean_> lol, well, i definitely broke the boundaries and I rewrote a grub install to /dev/sda at the very end - hopefully that clears it up [12:04] <_Sean_> well, removed the silly grub install, that is [12:06] _Sean_: we hear good things about cubic [12:10] <_Sean_> ahh nifty, iĺl have to check that out [12:11] <_Sean_> server only, or also desktop/ubiquity/casper? [12:11] _Sean_: think its to edit any ubuntu iso [12:12] _Sean_: we dont officially support cubic though, so youre a bit on your own :p [12:12] <_Sean_> well, i'm not using it so no worries there ;) [12:12] <_Sean_> if it's just to edit the iso, i can do that without any flashy wrappers [12:13] <_Sean_> and yeah, watching their marketing vid, it looks like all it does is add in pre-deploy pkg mgmts [12:13] just upgraded to 18.04 and displays are not detected. Trying to install the radeon drivers gives me ... The following packages have unmet dependencies. -> amdgpu-lib32 : Depends: mesa-amdgpu-vdpau-drivers:i386 (= 1:19.2.0-855429) -> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.>>>>> I installed mesa following http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/05/install-mesa-18-0-4-ubuntu-18-04-lts/ but I am [12:13] still stuck with the error [12:13] any idea? [12:13] gebbione: did you add external ppa's to your system? [12:14] yes, that article suggests to -> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates [12:14] gebbione: we dont support the add of external ppa's, did amdgpu not load from stock ubuntu? [12:15] not sure how to correctly answer that, ie the driver is incorrect after install. but also i dont see additional drivers if I look at Software and Updates [12:16] <_Sean_> also, and out of curiosity - why mention a tool if it's not supported (@cubic) -- [12:16] hi [12:16] i'd like to have my own option when i right-click [12:16] how do i do this? (desktop/gui directory) [12:16] _Sean_: because some packages are handy, just widen your options/choice [12:21] lotuspsychje, any ideas on how to fix that dependency problem? [12:24] <_Sean_> huzzah - luks and a reboot, one problem down, 30 to go [12:25] <_Sean_> and sry, not I gebbione -- i'd just pull out a big hammer - i was never a .deb guy in my day -- but that mesa depend seems to not be the same as the mesa you likely got from your link. if i had to wager a plan of attack - get rid of all (radeon/mesa) and start over using a guide that follows standard repos -- or from vendor specific, depending on what you need/want [12:32] Hey, just tried to run Ubuntu. First time I booted from the USB, it got stuck at three dots. Rebooted, and it did something completely different. Got a bunch of errors on the console after the 5 dots. What's going on? https://imgur.com/a/bLUi0Bg [12:34] I made the usb like: dd if=ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M && sync [12:37] if an app is installed with snap, where is the config file for the said app located? [12:42] Well, I don't know guys. My Thinkpad has a security chip in the bios that I set to "Disabled". Restarted again, and Ubuntu got stuck at the "keyboard = human" picture. Rebooted again, and I got a much nicer looking screen asking if I want to try or install Ubuntu. Selected try, and it worked. Pretty strange I booted the USB 4 times and got 4 different results. I guess it was the security chip? [12:45] Does the live Ubuntu not come with zfs? I want to make sure I can access my other hard drive before I overwrite my old Linux install [12:45] How can I install zfs or get a live Ubuntu with zfs? [12:46] I can't even do sudo su [12:46] Or sudo apt-cache bla bla [12:46] I think I need to connec to Wi-fi [12:48] Wow, try to click "Wi-fi settings" and I get "Sorry, Ubuntu 18.04 has experienced an internal error..." [12:48] I though this distro was like the most jank-free Linux distro [12:49] clover4: easy on the enter button please [12:49] Click details and it says "ExecutablePath /usr/bin/gnome-calendar" Not sure what that has to do with Wi-fi [12:50] lotuspsychje OK sorry [12:50] clover4: IO errors sound like harddisk damaged sectors [12:55] Hey, sorry. Disconnected. My internet sucks right now [12:55] I thought loop0 is the USB drive. Is it my hard drive with errors? [12:55] And why is the live Ubuntu trying to read my hard drive? It should be reading the USB [12:58] clover4: whatever is going on IO is mostly a bad sign.. [12:58] clover4: how did you create your iso? [12:59] I said that already [12:59] ah dd right [12:59] I think I'm going to run a HD check and then use Arch [13:00] I remembered the last time I used Ubuntu like 8 years ago it was a PITA to upgrade to a new version. I think I want rolling release anyway [13:00] * _Sean_ blinks [13:00] clover4: ive installed ubuntu on tons of pc's...if you get errors like this could be hardware related [13:01] Well, like I said, I'm going to run a hard disk check. I think I saw the Ubuntu installer has one, so I will try that first [13:01] clover4: ok good luck [13:02] My laptop is really old too. Installing Linux always seems to go better on desktops [13:03] But can you answer why live Ubuntu would fail if I have a bad hard drive? It doesn't make sense. It shouldn't touch my hard drive [13:04] clover4: if your laptop is old, try lubuntu or xubuntu to compare [13:05] Man, now I have a different install menu when I run the USB. Like I said, it's a prettier one, but it doesn't have all the options of the text one, including the hard disk check. When I set the security chip in my BIOS to Disabled, it started showing a new menu. wtf [13:05] clover4: the ubuntu usb stick trys to load things on hardware..if hardware is half broke, the ubuntu setup will also act weird [13:05] What does it try to load? [13:05] How do I get the text menu back? [13:05] clover4: F1 to textboot [13:06] OK [13:06] clover4: you can also try a !nomodeset [13:06] !nomodeset | clover4 [13:06] clover4: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [13:07] F1 worked [13:07] Now I'm going to try "Check disc for defects" [13:07] clover4: what kind of specs does your system have exactly? [13:07] Er, wtf. I guess "Check disc for defects" means check the USB [13:07] "Check finished: no errors found" [13:08] clover4: plz dont swear in the support channel [13:08] OK sorry [13:08] Well, I mentioned my laptop is a Thinkpad W520. You can look up the specs [13:09] clover4: every model has different types [13:10] What do you want to know specifically? I can tell you [13:10] yes please [13:10] ? [13:10] the exact type [13:11] clover4: on lenovo's its also very reccomended to update bios to latest too [13:11] Are you sure there is more than one type of Thinkpad W520? [13:12] I'm trying to look up the specs online and the results I get suggest there is only one [13:12] Oh, nvm. I see more [13:13] Doing a memory test atm [13:15] Man, this baloney is going to take a while I guess [13:20] While I'm waiting, I have a question about Ubuntu. Do Ubuntu versions cap software in the repo at various versions? Is an upgrade of Ubuntu required to use new software, or is the capping only limited to thinks like the Ubuntu desktop environment, etc.? [13:21] I was thinking if I decide to use Ubuntu, can I use it for a long time without upgrading, and still update all my other software? [13:21] !latest | clover4 [13:21] clover4: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [13:22] OK, so the versions of everything in the repo are capped unless there is a security fix [13:22] Definitely don't want that [13:23] clover4: it depends how you choose to use ubuntu, you can also choose for non-lts, aka more latest [13:23] Yeah, I think I want rolling release. Upgrading Ubuntu never went smoothly for me in the past [13:23] clover4: non-lts versions have higher/newer package versions but support for 9months [13:23] clover4: LTS supports for 5y + 5y esm [13:23] I want to believe Ubuntu has improved significantly in 8 years [13:24] clover4: you could discuss that in #ubuntu-discuss if you like [13:35] clover4, ubuntu isn't classified as a rolling release === beaver^ is now known as milgram [13:40] good morning [13:40] i need help creating a launcher [13:40] anyone good with shell commands?

[14:01] how can I change the default session (Xrog → Wayland) from Terminal? What's the gdm config file?

[14:43] the MacBook running Mojave [14:44] alexandrdvorkin: i mean up to date with ubuntu [14:45] alexandrdvorkin: did you install ubuntu or you still in the lie or setup? [14:45] *live [14:45] i installed the ubuntu on the Flashdrive USB connected via USB-C to MacBook never tried any update [14:46] i am not sure how to skip the GUI ubuntu login so that i can use console and do the update [14:46] because in GUI i can not do anything [14:47] if you bought a macbook, why install ubuntu? [14:48] wanted to try curious [14:48] seems like an expensive lesson [14:48] catbeard: we dont judge here, if the user wants ubuntu.. [14:48] lotuspsychje: wasn't judging, just saying there's cheaper things to put ubuntu on [14:48] alexandrdvorkin, https://github.com/cb22/macbook12-spi-driver : but you need an external keyboard [14:49] or did you mean you wanted to try ubuntu on mac specifically [14:50] on Mac [14:51] btw, honest review, i used to LOVE ubuntu, though since latest release, the support for grid-style workspaces went away, and that was really the main draw, and now Windows 10 does it, though even if it didn't, there's VirtuaWin to "get it back" [14:51] can't have more than 4, or at least there's no control panel to set it to more [14:51] i'm used to working with 4x4 grid [14:52] catbeard: try dconf-editor [14:52] catbeard: alot of tweaks for 'workspaces' [14:52] right but i'm saying the control panel support for it (which previously existed iirc) went away [14:53] kinda killed productivity [14:53] catbeard: open a bug wishlist and ill affect it too, i kind of miss that on my dock too [14:54] catbeard: maybe there's a gnome extension out there, but i dont really like those [14:55] i mean i know how to manually set it, but if i'm trying to sell mom on ubuntu i can't have her calling me 3 times a day talking about "open Terminal, type sudo dconf-editor, type your password.. (IT'S NOT SHOWING UP) it's not supposed to ma" [14:56] like you and i know what's going on and why, but mom god bless her soul [14:56] How do I use zfs on the live version of Ubuntu? [14:56] catbeard: dont you like super+ pgup/pgdown to switch workspaces? [14:58] lotuspsychje: for me it was Ctrl+Alt+Shift+arrow to drag a window up/down/left/right to a unused workspace, Ctrl+Alt+arrow to move over screens [14:59] just wish there was a hotkey to "label" the window [15:00] catbeard: gnome-tweak-tool has also workspace options, but also no dock icon [15:00] so i could type like a ticket id and have it show when i move to the screen [15:00] catbeard: use ubuntu-bug packagename from terminal plz [15:01] catbeard: after you created the bug, i will affect it too [15:01] or workspace real-estate options for like setting automatic alpha layer transparency if you drag a window from another workspace into your primary workspace [15:17] Got zfs working [15:18] Checked my ram. Checked my HD. Updated my BIOS. I'm just going to try installing Ubuntu now. [15:19] +1 clover4 [15:19] I hope I get the option to use full disk encryption in the normal installer [15:20] Oh yay. I did [15:22] hello [15:23] `man kill` tells me that there's -L or --table option to list signals as a table, but invoking it results into `kill: unknown signal: SIGL kill: type kill -l for a list of signals` or `kill: unknown signal: SIG-TABLE kill: type kill -l for a list of signals` [15:23] why is that? [15:23] Where is the default oracle_home? I installed WebLogic server and instructions say to use config script under ORACLE_HOME [15:23] I can't say acronyms that contain a curse word, but dudes named "FreeBSDM" can just roll up in here. lol [15:24] I see Ubuntu is getting that Amazon money [15:24] which? [15:25] Maybe you forgot the dash [15:25] Why don't you use -l like it says === dijitol1 is now known as dijitol [15:25] -l and -L are different options [15:26] OK. Well it said SIGL. Seems like you forgot the dash [15:26] nope [15:26] Well I'm installing Ubuntu so I can't check myself. Sorry [15:26] just learned that kill is a shell built-in, so it's more a #zsh question [15:27] Huh? What does it have to do with zsh? [15:31] I use zsh [15:32] and it turns out that zsh introduced shell built-in kill, so I'm reading man page for an external `kill` util, but then invoking zsh's kill :/ [15:32] Oh [15:32] You can use which kill [15:33] I don't know where kill is on Ubuntu, I guess maybe /usr/bin. You could run it directly [15:35] FreeBDSM: you can also run 'env kill' [15:36] hggdh: what will that do? [15:37] I just learned about 'command kill' [15:37] FreeBDSM: will run the binary 'kill' as opposed to the shell's [15:39] Hi, I'm using Zorin OS, and I'm unable to open the NVIDIA X Server Settings app, it just opens up to a blank screen with no options. I am attempting to access this app due to the fact that my laptop is using my built in video card instead of my NVIDIA GTX 1060, resulting in significant performance loss. Any help is appreciated, thanks. [15:39] hggdh: TIL env does something more than just echo env vars [15:40] sdkfzlight, ask zorin's irc/forum. this is #ubuntu for ubuntu's OS's.

[16:34] ioria 418.56-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1 [16:35] ioria according to the integrated software inistaller that came with the OS [16:35] Hi, what is better VMware host managed vmtools or vmtools from apt?

[16:40] i dunno ioria seemed to be willing to help [16:41] sdkfzlight, if you installed nvidia 430 , then the nvidia-settings 430.34-0ubuntu1 should be available; i just suggest to purge nvidia and try again from the ~graphics-drivers . [16:42] the ppa, i mean [16:42] ioria yeah i'm running 430, i'll try that thanks [16:43] but Chunkyz is right, i have no idea what '//ppa.launchpad.net/zorinos/drivers/ubuntu' is or provides [17:16] external kill is broken (well, or its manpage): manpage says that `kill -l 11` should translate number 11 into a signal name. It fails. Turns out the error occurs because of the space after `-l`. `/bin/kill -l11` works fine.
