doug16kmy gpu can run tf2 at about 300fps btw00:06
doug16kif I had vsync off00:06
mysticand set resolution at 480p?  with shadows and anti alaising off?00:07
doug16k1920x1080 everything high and shadows on medium anisotropic 4X00:09
doug16kshadows on high utterly kills it00:10
doug16kreflect all kills it. on simple reflection00:10
doug16koops, actually, on reflect world00:10
AlphosHello people ! I'm having some issues with a 4.15.0.58 kernel recently installed on a 18.4.1 laptop : it reboots in what appears to be recovery mode (low res, no network) by default, and nothing I've thrown at it so far (apt install --reinstall, apt remove, apt purge), seem to have made a dent in it00:11
doug16kmystic, why 480p? was that sarcasm? :D00:14
doug16ktf2 flies in linux, better than windows00:14
doug16ksyscalls being 100x faster helps00:15
mysticnot many games run in linux tho00:16
mystici never understood steam for linux.. you cant play most of the games anyway.  i dont get it00:16
doug16kif more games were ported to linux, people would realize that they can get faster framerates and lower latencies. a shame really00:18
doug16klinux was born to do a bazillion syscalls/sec00:18
mysticthey make it sond like team for linux is a thing.. but i tried it.. can hardly play any games on my library.  pointless.  why do people keep going on about it like its even worth having00:19
doug16kall my games run beautifully, idk why you get bad experience00:19
mystic'all' ?00:19
doug16k2200:20
mystici guess you downloaded games that support linux.  thats a  tiny list.. tiinnny.   i have about 300 stram games.. and i guess about 5 work on linux.  pethetic00:20
doug16kmy machine isn't a toy. I work most of the time.00:20
mysticmy point is why do people keep ppraiing steam for linux.. its pretty much worthless00:21
mysticprasing*00:21
doug16kbecause everyone doesn't run your configuration maybe?00:21
mysticnothing to do with it00:21
mysticif games arent made for linux they wont work00:21
mysticunless you run ancient games in wine00:22
doug16kI get 60fps with folding at home using the GPU doing compute00:22
mystici cant play anything on it.. my game library is almost totally redundant if i want to play on linux00:23
mysticanothrer reason i will always keep windows on my system00:23
doug16ktry folding on windows with a game running, good luck00:24
mysticwhen im playing a game i dont have anything else running usually.. unless its a simple game00:24
mysticwhats the use in 'folding'  when i want to play my games libray and i cant?00:24
ausjkeis it even possible to send reboot commands via bluetooth to ubuntu(bluetooth slave0?00:35
ausjkes/0/)00:35
mystici dont know00:36
SlowJimmyHello #Ubuntu, how's it going? I wanted to aks what the best formating is for a share on my ubuntu machine that i make available to other ubuntu machines across my homenetwork, sort of like a smb but for GNU OS basicall, is there something like samba for gnu that i could use on my ubuntu?00:39
doug16kSlowJimmy, are you asking what filesystem you should use or what network sharing protocol to use?00:41
doug16kyou can use samba on ubuntu00:42
doug16kserver or client00:42
SlowJimmyboth if that makes sense...correct me if i am wrong i cannot do this in ext4 and i need like ntfs or something and set the prpper user rights etc? yeah I know but I did not want to use smb because for of obvious reasons00:43
compdocno, use ext400:43
SlowJimmyand then i create a user for each client ubunut machine and allow them read write access and give each maybe even a folder to own for backups to be saved on?00:44
ausjke/dev/rfcomm seems the right way to do it00:44
doug16kyou can use ext4. to enable full windows permission support, you may need to mount it with user_xattr mount option00:44
SlowJimmyty to both of you!00:44
SlowJimmydoug16k: not windows permission i mean the linux gnu permissions00:44
SlowJimmy777 or what it is called00:44
doug16kin that case sure, ext4 would be perfect00:44
SlowJimmysorry chown user:user folder on that share00:45
SlowJimmyand the chmod if i am not mistake with the appropriate number code for the rigths00:45
SlowJimmyshould the owner of these folders still be the server running ubuntu or should each ubuntu client machine dialing in own their respective folders?00:46
SlowJimmyif they got the appropriate rights then i should be fine owning it server side right?00:46
doug16kyou can configure samba to use filesystem permissions fully by configuring the server with "inherit permissions = yes" and "inherit acls = yes"00:48
doug16kyou can mount the partition with acl mount option and even add fine-grained permissions with setfacl, such as allowing some particular user to read/write/execute even if the unix user:group doesn't include them00:49
doug16kassuming you enabled acls as mentioned00:50
doug16kso yes, you can do the completely efficient unixy permission method, or micromanage ACLs ala windows00:51
mysticare you SURE?00:52
AlphosWelp, finally found a last leg solution which relied on forcing grub2 to boot on the previous kernel (4.15.0-55) instead00:53
SlowJimmydoug16k: I wanted to avoid smb00:53
doug16kmystic, about what? this? -> https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_Share_Using_Windows_ACLs00:55
SlowJimmyi am going with the GNU way of doing things as smb has been said to carry some risks00:55
AlphosWell, you could always sftp your way into your machine, I guess ?00:55
SlowJimmyAlphos: excellent Idea00:56
SlowJimmyAlphos: I think I want them more of like a mounted server share that i can do backups to automatically00:56
SlowJimmyAlphos: using rsync to do backup and maybe00:57
AlphosLast I tried, nautilus even allowed ssh mounts, but that was some time ago00:57
AlphosAnd I wouldn't for the life of me remember how ^^'00:57
doug16kSlowJimmy, NFS is an option, but I've never needed anything beyond simple samba and interoperability usually prevents me using NFS00:57
SlowJimmyyou are right alphos it allows so in "connet to server"00:58
AlphosIt all really depends on what machines you want connected, how many, to what, from what, etc00:58
SlowJimmydoug16k: oh the ext4 only works with smb?00:58
doug16kSlowJimmy, no00:59
SlowJimmyso i would need NFS to do it in strictly linux00:59
SlowJimmyof the top of your head do you know if there is more benefits to NFS over regular ext4? if i am not mistake nfs is made espacially for sharing shares across networks01:00
doug16kthey are not the same thing01:00
doug16kext4 is how it puts it on disk. nfs/samba is how it communicates over the network01:00
AlphosDo you need all machines to access all other machines, or a central repo that doesn't actually require a screen ?01:01
doug16kI mention ext4 because if you were using a full windows-like permission system, then the underlying filesystem (ext4/or-whatever) needs to be able to store ACLs01:01
doug16kACL = access control list01:01
SlowJimmysorry I wasnt clear on that I mistook nfs or a filesystem01:02
doug16kNFS is the unixy counterpart to samba01:02
SlowJimmyAlphos: not it is a star layout with a connecting server in the center01:02
SlowJimmyeverything is conencted to a single server and does not require to talk among each other01:03
doug16ksamba = CIFS = common internet filesystem. it is a standard that really isn't windows specific, it is documented in RFCs like any decent protocol01:03
AlphosSlowJimmy then you could look into OpenMediaVault, just saying ;-)01:03
SlowJimmyoh ok01:03
SlowJimmyNFS looks like a the way to go then01:03
doug16ksamba feels windows specific because you need that for windows clients to connect to it01:04
SlowJimmysince these are all ubuntu machines(3 of them) i may or may not add a debian machine at a later date01:04
SlowJimmysamba is great and all but i have heard that you run risks with it01:05
SlowJimmyI will try each of these options and see what works the best01:05
emOneis ifconfig not included in ubuntu anymore?01:05
SlowJimmyopenmediavault, nfs on ext4, and then the /dev/rfcomm01:05
Alphosopenmediavault is a whole OS01:06
Bashing-omSlowJimmy: All share the same router ? See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2159449 .01:06
SlowJimmyemone no it has been replaced01:06
doug16kplenty of superstition going around. any concrete examples of the risk?01:06
emOnewith what?01:06
emOneSlowJimmy: what has it been replaced with?01:06
doug16ksome people think that you need to throw salt over your shoulder if you spill it01:06
AlphosIt'll take care of all the tedious things like picking a FS, installing smb and whatnot, and the like ;-)01:07
SlowJimmyyou want to use ip instead https://ubuntu.com/blog/if-youre-still-using-ifconfig-youre-living-in-the-past01:07
SlowJimmyemOne: the thing thre me off too, the network-manager has been replaced if i am not mistaken01:07
SlowJimmyi think its replacement is called netplan or netmap or something, and it has a similar way of setting up the config file, but it was a farily recent improvement they made01:08
emOneSlowJimmy: I am not sure how I feel about it being removed01:08
emOnemacOS and many other distros use ifconfig01:09
SlowJimmyemOne: and together with that change ifconfig went out of the windo01:09
AlphosemOne : about the same as usual when anything gets replaced on anything debian-based01:09
SlowJimmyemOne: i am pretty sure you can still install it01:09
doug16kSlowJimmy, it is possible to install NFS support on windows btw, if that ever comes up01:09
Bashing-omemOne: The modern replacement for net-tools is iproute2 <- https://www.tecmint.com/deprecated-linux-networking-commands-and-their-replacements/01:10
doug16ksince win2k IIRC01:10
SlowJimmyat least i know that i have read that you can install the oldschool style network-manager if you wanted to, so pretty sure you can install ifconfig, hey why dont you try this do an aptitude-search ifconfig01:10
doug16kSlowJimmy, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc782783(v=ws.10)01:11
emOneyes there is even a message that says what package to install to get back ifconfig01:11
doug16kguessing it still is there on win10, not sure01:11
emOnebut I feel like it kind of breaks the whole POSIX feel to ubuntu01:11
emOneidk01:11
SlowJimmydoug16k: ah i never even thought that possible, that is kinda mazing that you can that instead of smb01:11
AlphosWhew, at least I'm done after a solid week on trying to fix an unfixable issue on that cruddy kernel that won't get fixed. We'll see what happens for that laptop when the next version comes01:12
emOneevery single box that I ever used had ifconfig01:12
doug16kin win2k timeframe, microsoft was obsessed with supporting every standard01:12
SlowJimmydoug16k: i have used smb to allow windows machines to connect to an ubuntu machine acting as server01:12
SlowJimmyAlphos: sweet!01:12

AlphosNot so much01:12
emOneifconifg - Initial releaseAugust 1983; 36 years ago01:13
AlphosBut meh, my uncle won't notice ... much.01:13
Alphos"Say, what are those two lines popping up during boot ?" That'll be it01:13
SlowJimmyemOne: apt-get update01:14
SlowJimmyapt-get install net-tools01:14
SlowJimmyemOne: if you run those you get ipconfig back otherwise use ip01:14
SlowJimmywhich i have heard is just as good if not better01:14
emOneI am not sure why it is better01:20
SlowJimmyemOne: type this 'ip addr' for example01:20
emOneit looks the same to me01:20
SlowJimmyemOne: me neither01:21
emOneifconfig is neater01:22
emOnethe indentations are a lot better01:22
SlowJimmyemOne: i like the config file better too, i think now the indentations matter01:23
SlowJimmybut i may be mistaken from the vid i watched01:23
AlphosThanks for all the talk, people, g'night !01:26
SlowJimmyg'night bro01:27
emOnerestarting the network doesn't work with the same command anymore either01:28
SlowJimmyyeah i ran into the same problem01:28
emOneor maybe it does01:28
emOne"systemctl restart networking"01:29
emOnedoes this work?01:29
SlowJimmy 01:29
SlowJimmy 01:29
SlowJimmyip addr flush interface-name && systemctl restart networking.service01:29
SlowJimmy 01:29
emOneor did I break something by installing ifconfig01:29
SlowJimmysorry for white space should of used M-x fixup-whitespace01:30
SlowJimmytry the old service network-manager restart if that doesn't worked01:33
emOneshould have* :)01:34
SlowJimmyi should of said it like that i guess01:35
SlowJimmy:P01:35
SlowJimmycan you download man-pages for software in the respository without installing the software itself?01:36

leonardusI installed Ubuntu but all I get is a purple screen and then no signal.03:05
leonardusHow do I fix this?03:05
lotuspsychjeno signal?03:11
leonardusYeah my monitor says "No DisplayPort signal"03:12
lotuspsychje!nomodeset | leonardus try this perhaps03:13
ubottuleonardus try this perhaps: 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 parameter03:13
leonarduslotuspsychje: I can't get into GRUB. Tried pressing shift key.03:14
lotuspsychjeleonardus: if you say you see the purple screen, you should be able to enter grub before too right03:14
leonardusI can't. Spamming the shift key, I just get the same purple screen then no signal.03:15
lotuspsychjeleonardus: dont spam the key, hold it, or ESC03:15
leonardusWhen do I start holding it?03:16
leonardusAs soon as I see the motherboard logo?03:16
lotuspsychjeleonardus: from the min you push power03:16
lotuspsychjeleonardus: some systems are indeed difficult to enter grub03:17
leonardusAlso, is this in the bug tracker?03:18
lotuspsychjeleonardus: another thing you can try is enter tty on purple screen dot logo03:19
lotuspsychjeor F1 to textboot03:19
Betalxubuntu have only 3 year lts support? while the same ubuntu version have 5?03:21
leonardusI still can't enter GRUB.03:22
Bashing-omBetal: What the xubuntu team supports is 3 years - the kernel is 5 years.03:29

leonardusBut is this in the bug tracker?03:34
jkooferhi, I have a dual boot on my toshiba laptop. Windows 7 and ubnuntu 18.04 , I can get on to the internet from windows 7 but fire fox will not load pages when I am in ubuntu 18.04 , know how to fix?03:41
leonardusAlso how do I get drivers for wifi on the AsRock X570 taichi motherboard? They don't seem to be installed by default03:46
lotuspsychjeleonardus: wich wifi chipset is that03:56
leonardusAll I can find is "IntelĀ® Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax (2.4Gbps) + BT 5.0"03:56
leonardusThe bluetooth is working, but not the wifi03:56
lotuspsychjejkoofer: can you pasetbin: sudo lshw -C network please03:57
lotuspsychjeleonardus: did wifi work during your setup?03:57
leonardusI don't think so, no03:57
leonardusI had to use a USB adapter03:57
lotuspsychjeleonardus: did you update your ssytem to latest?03:57
leonardusapt update says All packages are up to date.03:58
lotuspsychjeok03:58
lotuspsychjeleonardus: pastebin: sudo lshw -C network plz?03:58
leonardushttps://termbin.com/qv2403:59
jkoofer@lotuspsycheje I am on my machine that has a dual boot. I am in my windows 7 now.03:59
jkooferis there another way of doing this?04:00
lotuspsychjejkoofer: try a cable in your pc, instead of wifi and come back to irc with ubuntu04:00
lotuspsychjeleonardus: one adapter seems unclaimed, and your atheros driver seems loaded04:01
lotuspsychjeleonardus: are you dualbooting in uefi mode?04:01
jkoofer@lotuspsycheje: i'm not able to do that. I live in a guest house using wifi from the main house which is 40 feet away.04:01
lotuspsychjejkoofer: do you recall your wifi chipset in your pc?04:02
leonarduslotuspsychje: yes I am04:02
leonardusI think so, at least04:02
leonardusI created an EFI system partition when installing Ubuntu04:02
lotuspsychjeleonardus: uefi settings can block hardware, aka wifi or graphics04:02
lotuspsychjeleonardus: can you pastebin your dmesg plz?04:03
leonardushttps://termbin.com/3f9304:03
jkoofer@lotuspsycheje it is a realtek04:05
lotuspsychjeleonardus: atheros is your usb dongle?04:05
leonardusyeah04:05
amazoniantoadI am trying to connect to an openvpn server in ubuntu. I imported the ovpn file but when I try to turn it on it just turns itself back off04:05
lotuspsychjejkoofer: realtek chipsets are kernel sensitive, wich ubuntu version are you trying please?04:05
jkoofer18.0404:06
amazoniantoadCan someone help me figure out what is wrong with it?04:06
lotuspsychjeleonardus: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.04:06
lotuspsychjeleonardus: pastebin: sudo lshw -C video too plz?04:07

jkooferi put ubuntu 18.04 on my machine last week and it was working fine for wifi. I restarted the machine today and it says that it detects the network but that there is a connection failure04:07
lotuspsychjeleonardus: hmm weird it doesnt show the exact chipset there04:07
lotuspsychjeleonardus: how about: nvidia-smi04:08
leonarduslotuspsychje: it is an RTX 2080 Super04:08
leonardushttps://termbin.com/8thu04:08
lotuspsychjejkoofer: could you try to enter grub and boot a previous kernel please?04:08
lotuspsychjeleonardus: ok tnx, looks good04:09
lotuspsychjeleonardus: your wifi is not disabled in bios or such? or some physical switch?04:10
leonardusit works in windows04:10
lotuspsychjeleonardus: i dont see an iwlwifi issue on dmesg, weird04:10
jkoofer@lotuspsychje, that is beyond my currently capability. I have only been using linux for 4 days. I apologize. Someone mentioned to me that it is likely that "the dns server is wrong" I don't know how to articulate as I'm a newb. Perhaps that info helps? My friend said that it pinged when we did a test for a public ip address.04:11
lotuspsychjejkoofer: to enter grub: hold SHIFT at boot, then choose ubuntu(previous kernel) and see if you can make your wifi work on a lower kernel04:11
jkooferok04:12
lotuspsychjeleonardus: try booting legacy as a test plz04:12
jkooferi will boot into ubuntu, hopefully that will work and i will check back here through ubuntu!04:12
lotuspsychjejkoofer: good luck!04:12
leonarduslotuspsychje: how?04:12
lotuspsychjeleonardus: in your bios settings, fastboot=off secureboot=off04:13
jkooferquestion tho, why would it work this last week but stop working when i rebooted it? btw when i restarted my computer it was flickering at the ubuntu loading screen. i had to do a hard shut off and then do it again. the next time it booted up fine.04:13
lotuspsychjejkoofer: there is a known bug on realtek and kernel 5.004:14
jkooferok04:14
lotuspsychjejkoofer: wich brand is your computer plz?04:14
jkoofertoshiba satellite a6 vision amd04:14
lotuspsychjeok interesting, try the previous kernel jkoofer04:15
jkooferok will do.04:15
leonarduslotuspsychje: just checked and they were both already disabled04:16
leonardusi've tried turning fast boot on before but it wouldn't load the nvme driver so i disabled it again04:16
lotuspsychjeleonardus: so your booting legacy, not uefi?04:18
leonardusI don't know. I have an EFI partition.04:18
leonardusIt wouldn't let me proceed with the installation without an EFI partition.04:19
lotuspsychjeleonardus: i canty find another logical reason, as i find nothing on iwlwifi in your dmesg04:20
lotuspsychjeunless i overlook..04:20
lotuspsychjeleonardus: does your wifi icon show double chipsets, when you plugin your usb dongle?04:21
leonardusNo, just one04:21
BerenErchamion What's the best, most reliable way to install the latest version of Skype for Linux?04:21
lotuspsychjethats weird leonardus hence i suspect uefi block04:21
lotuspsychje!latest | BerenErchamion04:22
ubottuBerenErchamion: 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.04:22
lotuspsychjeBerenErchamion: there's a snap of skype if you want04:22
jkoofer@lotuspsychje yay it worked04:22
lotuspsychjejkoofer: wich kernel are you on now?04:22
BerenErchamionOh yeah, I think I found the snap04:23
jkoofer5.0.0-23-generic04:23
BerenErchamionI found the snap for Skype here:  https://www.tecmint.com/install-skype-in-debian-ubuntu-linux-mint/  totuspsychje04:23
lotuspsychjeBerenErchamion: snap find skype04:23
BerenErchamionAfter install snap, I do this:  snap install skype --classic  ?04:24
lotuspsychjejkoofer: can you try to edit your grub and this kernel line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.fastboot=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=4"04:24
lotuspsychjejkoofer: you can edit this in: /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub to make it active04:25
BerenErchamionBut before I install skype on the command line, should I add the Canonical Partner repository, since I'm using Linux Mint?04:25
jkooferdo i enter GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.fastboot=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=4"    into a terminal?04:26
lotuspsychjejkoofer: no, you need to edit grub to add it04:26
BerenErchamionOr is it better to just download the Debian package from the Skype website and install with gdebi?04:27
lotuspsychjeBerenErchamion: the users choice BerenErchamion04:27
lotuspsychjeBerenErchamion: we always try to reccomend to keep ubuntu the official way04:28
lotuspsychjeBerenErchamion: but the users ahve the choice of snaps, ppa's or .debs04:28
jkoofereh.. still really new with linux only 5 days in. am i using the terminal? what should i put into the terminal?04:28
lotuspsychjejkoofer: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub04:29
jkooferok04:29
lotuspsychjejkoofer: then add this i915.fastboot=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=4 after quiet splash04:29
jkooferinto the *grub window correct?04:30
lotuspsychjejkoofer: it will open the grub config yes04:30
Bashing-omjkoofer: ^^ once the edit is done in terminal run ' sudo update-grub ' to propagate the change.04:31
lotuspsychjejkoofer: if you did it correct, your line will look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.fastboot=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=4"04:34
jkooferin which window lotuspsychje? the terminal or the grub window?04:34
lotuspsychjejkoofer: your grub config window04:34
Bashing-omjkoofer: Better to run sudo here with the -H switch ' sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub ' this starts the test editoe "fedit' opening the file "grub" in the directories "/etc/default/".04:39

BerenErchamionIf I do this . . . https://snapcraft.io/install/skype/mint  . . . do I still need to add the Canonical Partner Repository?04:41
jkooferthank you for bearing with me here. I'm really sorry with my lack of familiarty with how to execute what you would like me to do.04:42
lotuspsychjejkoofer: just add that line, and save your grub config04:43
jkooferwhere in the grub do i enter it? the bottom? top?04:43
jkooferthe last line is: #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"04:43
lotuspsychjejkoofer: there's already this line, do you see this=  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash04:44
jkoofershould i put it directly underneath that?04:44
jkooferyes04:44
lotuspsychjejkoofer: now after splash add:  i915.fastboot=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=4"04:44
jkoofergot it. so replace that line with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.fastboot=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=4"04:44
jkooferok04:44
lotuspsychjejkoofer: good, after that save it04:45
jkooferok terminal is moving now04:46
lotuspsychjejkoofer: now: sudo update-grub in your terminal04:46

jkooferi'm sorry kernal not terminal05:02
lotuspsychjejkoofer: if you need help, come back to #ubuntu we will help you05:03
jkooferalso, if i was to articulate the problem how would i say it? "the current kernal has a bug with the realtek chipsets so i had to put a command line into the grub window to make it do something else than what it does by default"?05:04
jkooferok will do05:04
lotuspsychjejkoofer: yep that sounds good05:04
jkooferwas that command line that you had me put in there, is that command line from the previous kernal?05:05

BerenErchamionIs there a Flatpak PPA available for Ubuntu 18.04?06:40
BerenErchamionThis is why I asked:  https://www.fossmint.com/install-flatpak-in-linux/06:40
OerHeksBerenErchamion, that ppa gives a newer version than our repos, still be carefull, trust the owner jada jada https://launchpad.net/~alexlarsson/+archive/ubuntu/flatpak06:42
OerHeks!info flatpack06:42
ubottuPackage flatpack does not exist in bionic06:42
OerHeks!info flatpak06:42
ubottuflatpak (source: flatpak): Application deployment framework for desktop apps. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.8-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 762 kB, installed size 3697 kB06:42
BerenErchamionI found this:  https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/02/how-to-install-flatpak-on-ubuntu-flathub06:45
BerenErchamionI'm using bionic beaver because I got Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon which has the Ubuntu 18.04 package base06:45
fiterHi I updated my Ubunut 18.04 and now when I start the system the ubuntu loads again and again, but it never starts the system. Is there any way to solve this problem?06:50
OerHeksBerenErchamion, interesting.. but those forks are not supported, find the mint channel06:50
OerHeks!mint06:50
ubottuThe Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle)06:50
OerHeksfiter, this could well be an .xauthority issue, see the fix https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-ubuntu-login-loop/06:54
BerenErchamionI already asked for advice installing skype in both the #linuxmint-help and the #linuxmint-chat channels in spotchat. But when they weren't much help, and didn't show any interest in skype.06:56
OerHeksskype, i can tell is only available as snap06:57

lyrHi guys07:14
lyrI'm struggling installing Ubuntu 19.04 on a brand new Dell XPS 7590. I disabled SecureBoot, set disks from RAID to AHCI in the BIOS. Booting on "UEFI: USB ...". Installing end up with "Executing grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 failed".  I tried many things, making the partitions manually, nothing worked so far. It's a GPT, UEFI partition is here, boot fl07:16
lyrag is ok...07:16
chietai could access the samba share from file manager ... i could open the file but couldn't copy it all... what happen07:17
EriC^^lyr: try to install using "ubiquity -b" to not install a bootloader, then chroot and manually do it07:17
BerenErchamionWhen ubottu said that Flatpak package does not exist in bionic, was he referring to Flatpak in generally, or only Flatpak for Skype?07:18
lotuspsychjeBerenErchamion: as said before, we reccomend you to install packages from the official repos, instead of external ppa's or debs07:18
chietais snapd official lotuspsychje07:19
chieta?07:19
OerHeksBerenErchamion, flatpack exists. read carefully, but you better join the mint channels07:19
lyrEriC^^ : will try. I guess you mean chroot /target/ then grub-install /dev/nvme0 ?07:19
BerenErchamionThe mint channels are very good for supporting most packages and installations, but Skype is not popular with them, because they're using other chat apps, like snapchat/instagram/twitter/tumbler07:23
OerHeksBerenErchamion, ubuntu support only here. so, i am not going to answer anymore, good luck07:24
BerenErchamionSo there's a lack of interest in skype in the #linuxmint channels on spotchat07:24
OerHeksmint has it s own issues.07:24
lotuspsychjechieta: snapd is official yes, but individual snaps are maintained by several maintainers, meaning you need to trust them07:25
OerHekscheck out packages @ snapcraft.io07:25
BerenErchamionThat's a good question, which packages that provide Skype are using the official repos?07:27
lotuspsychjeBerenErchamion: OerHeks already said to join the mint support07:27
BerenErchamionok, thanks for your help. And you're right about Debian and snapd not using LinuxMint's official repo07:52
BerenErchamionFlathub is my best option, cause it uses the official repo for my distribution of Linux07:53
BerenErchamionand it's in the Software Manager for skype07:54
kettlecookedI use Ubuntu WSL subsystem in Windows 10. When launching Ubuntu terminal and listing directories they're dark blue and unreadable. Fixed that by an LS_COLORS variable in .bashrc. So far so good. However, if I connect from this terminal to a remote server, then that servers bash settings seems to take precedence and I'm back to dark blue unreadable again. Any idea on what I can do to solve it more permanently?08:22
dionysus69can anyone assist me with fixing audio problem?08:34
dionysus69laptop here, bluetooth and internal speaker volume output is atrociously low, like 10% of the original sound and everything is maxed out both system volume and app volume08:35
dionysus69tried both pulse audio and alsamixer, everything is at 100%08:35
dionysus69the volume is ok through the aux cable, headphones for example08:36
dionysus69what can be wrong? I am dealing with this for a looong time now08:36
dionysus69could it be a kernel problem?08:36
diskindionysus69, hi, are you sure it's not a hardware problem?08:52
dionysus69nope08:52

GossetHi, I want to install Ubuntu. What do you recommend me, installing LTS 18.04 or 19.10 (given that next LTS will be 20.04 next april)? Thanks08:53
lotuspsychjeGosset: the users choice between LTS or non-LTS08:53
lotuspsychjeGosset: how do you want to use ubuntu?08:53
OerHeksGosset, for stability, stick to LTS, and btw 18.04 fresh install adds HWE08:54
OerHeks!hwe08:54
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack08:54
EoflaOEGosset: If you want long time suport, choose 18.04. If you need to test bugs, choose 19.10.08:54
EoflaOEsupport*08:54
Gossetok thanks08:54
GossetI think I'll wait until April then08:54
GossetI have Ubuntu 18.04 on another PC, what's going to happen when I upgrade to 20.04?08:57
GossetWill I lose my configurations?08:57
EoflaOEGosset: As long as you don't interrupt the upgrade process, you'll progress into 20.04 fine without losing the configuration.08:58
Gossetok thanks08:59
EoflaOEYou are welcome08:59
bodicceaI have an issue on Firefox/XUbuntu, when I wake-up the system. Xorg takes 100% CPU (nvidia card), FF takes a lot too, 30%. Just for a min or so, but I cannot find any log for any problem. Strange.09:03
bodicceaall other programs work fine. Maybe I should discuss on a FF channel, I would just like some input, if you have the same issue09:04
lamar_123hello anyone, i have a problem want to query09:09
EriC^^!ask | lamar_12309:09
ubottulamar_123: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience09:09
lamar_123the package name:"pulseaudio_12.2-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb", what is the purpose of  "0ubuntu5"?09:13
ayew0 is the debian version (aka no debian package or ahead of debian)09:15
OerHeksthe number after ubuntu gives the backported update IIRC09:16
ayewi believe 5 is the number of update iterations away from the last debian package version09:17
ayewactually09:17
ayewso 0ubuntu5 translates to the ubuntu package has been updated 5 times since it was last forked from debian.09:20
lamar_123i use the apt install pulseaudio in 16.04,the pulseaudio version is 8.0; but in the 19.04, the version is 12.209:21
lamar_123I think it has something to do with this string "0ubuntu5"?09:22
ayewits just to do with which package version is available in the xenial and disco repos09:22
ayewsee: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/pulseaudio09:22
ayewyou can use backports to get a newer version09:23
lamar_123can i update the "disco" package to "xenial"?09:24
lamar_123i want to update the pulseaudio verion to 12.2, in the ubuntu 16.0409:24
ayewother way around xenial = 16.04, disco = 19.0409:24
pirayehello09:24

Ben64piraye: how did you upgrade python09:26
pirayein the right top of screen of my computer give me red alarm09:26
pirayeBen64, yes after upgarde python I got this problem09:26
diskindionysus69, so, nothing mentioned in https://askubuntu.com/questions/390734/volume-low-even-at-maximum helped?09:26
Ben64piraye: right, but how did you do that, what version did you go from and to09:27
pirayeBen64, https://www.itsupportwale.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-to-python-3-7-on-ubuntu-18-10/09:27
ayewlamar_123: often you can use backports (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports) to get a newer version then is supplied by default in your version's repositories. however as you can see on the package page there is no package for pulseaudio in xenial-backports. You can enable any repo you like of course but if it isnt backported it may cause issues09:28
pirayeI think it is now python 3.709:28
pirayeI dont remember its version exactly09:28
pirayeBen64, I think it was 3.6 and now become 3.709:29
tomreynlamar_123: it's not very likely that you'll find a backport or PPA providing this new pulseaudio version for ubuntu 16.04. if you actually need a newer pulseaudio version - why?! - you should consider upgrading ubuntu.09:29
pirayeI dont remember exactly the version09:29
ayewif you must pull from a non-backported, newer repo, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto. But a much better option is just to upgrade your distro.09:30
pirayeBen64, please any idea how to solve this problem09:31
tomreynpinning will most likely not help there, it's very unlikely you'll be able to satisfy dependencies09:31
OerHeks!mix09:31
ubottuit is usually a very bad idea to mix packages from different releases (or Linux distributions), and it is completely unsupported09:31
dionysus69diskin: nope I tried everything of that sort09:32
tomreynpiraye: which ubuntu version are you running?09:32
piraye18.0409:32
tomreynpiraye: the how-to you worked with is for ubuntu 18.10, though09:32
OerHeks18.10 is eol?09:33
pirayeI did not worked with, I just upgarde it, and today I cant open terminal09:33
tomreynyes, that, too09:33
tomreynpiraye: you can switch to a !tty, login there and undo the change to update-alternatives you made, setting it to the default version.09:34
pirayeI did mistake with upgrading it with version ubuntu 18.1009:34
pirayetomreyn, how can I find tty09:35
tomreynpiraye: python, and the default version of it, is essential for system level software on ubuntu, you should not override its default version (it's okay to install multiple ubuntu packaged python versions side by side, though)09:35
tomreyn!tty09:35
ubottuTo get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution09:35

andY819i know, and i tried nano and vim but its not... some genius named it "Text Editor" in apps menu wtf lol09:44
andY819trying to edit conf as root... need name of txt editor in it lol09:45
Ben64just use nano or something09:45
andY819i dont want to install nano, not my machine09:45

andY819i tried sudo nano usr/share/smb.conf ... then vim, thenm vi, none is there09:46

EoflaOEpiraye: You have to press for example Ctrl+Alt+F309:46
OerHeksgedit, in standard ubuntu/gnome309:46
andY819thats it thx!09:46
andY819btw why those who cook it dont name it "Text Editor [name here]" or something like that... im a half noob, so imagine complete noob trying to figure it out lol09:48
tomreynpiraye: you have to hold down ctrl and alt, then tap on one of F3, F4, F5, F6, then release ctrl and alt.09:48
pirayeok09:49
cluelesspersonandY819 everyone thinks differently.  You could google "linux text editors"09:49
cluelesspersonandY819   or rather, "linux built in text editors",   rather.  Google is its own art.   But the typical ones are vi  and nano09:49
andY819yes, but the name of the program should be the NAME of it, not the description of it - even windoze follows that...09:50
cluelesspersonandY819   I'm confused, they are.09:50
cluelesspersonI type   nano or vi, and that's what I get09:50
lamar_123tomreyn: upgrading the ubuntu had a big impact on our products,i want to separate upgrade pulseaudio. this may reduce the impact09:51
cluelesspersonlamar_123  really shouldn't be just running willy nilly ubuntu for your products anyway09:52
OerHekslamar_123, sore the stable pulseaudio with backported fixes should work fine, why do you need a newer version?09:52
tomreynlamar_123: this sounds more like you should miprove your products to be compatible with newer ubuntu versions09:52
andY819if you look at installed programs menu, thats where i ask my total noob friend to look for the name of text editor on his box, he said its named "Text Editor", there is no name of the program, which is gedit.  "Text Editor" is description of gedit, dont you think?09:52
andY819anyways, thx 4 help, all done.09:52

I want to ensure now all files also exist on the external drive, so I run `rsync -avh /data/share /data/external`, is that the correct way of doing it?10:03
fubWant to make sure Im not doing something stupid here.10:03
ayewandY819: GNOME decided to rename everything to generic names around the time GNOME 3 came out. I too find it annoying, and everyone still refers to them by their own names because thats why the packages are called and no on ehas any clue other wise10:05

hyperfektHello everyone, I'm trying to recreate Ubuntu's excellent hardware support on another distro and was wondering where I could find the source for device-specific fixes, module options, settings etc.10:13
ayewclueless: lsdev is a bit of a catchall that tries to list all devices10:15
ayewcluelessperson: I've found it practially useless in what info you get so you'll probably have to take a case by case approach10:17
cluelesspersonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen  this documentation is basically useless10:17
cluelesspersonayew   found some comments leading to this software:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input10:20
cluelesspersonlooks promising10:20
ayewyeah was just about to say xinput handles all the calibration, but I thought I saw it already mentioned in the Touchscreen ubuntu docs10:21
pirayehello, I cant open terminal10:30
pirayeand some frinds here suggest to me some option of solve the problem and after doing it I got these errors10:31
cluelesspersonomfg, this documentation is outdated garbage10:31
pirayehttps://paste2.org/ecCY6xWs10:31
pirayein that past2 I put what I did and what I get as error10:31
pirayeplease, need your help10:31
ayewcluelessperson: yeah all the docs and info on touchscreens are from like 2014 when it barely worked. i guess because it "just works" now there isnt good documentation10:35
cluelesspersonpiraye  what the heck does "can't open the terminal" mean10:35
ayewyou're obviously in a terminal from what the paste says?10:36
cluelesspersonayew   Whenever someone modifies ubuntu, they should be updating " here's the thing we've used and where the configuration is stored"10:36
ayewyou mean you can't access python?10:37
ayewpiraye: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-apt10:37
ayewthat should address the module Not found Error:No module named 'apt-pkg' issue10:41
cluelesspersonI don't understand why different things are used to track states of devices.10:41
cluelesspersonI think it should just be a universal component10:41
ayewwell, the solution would be to develop a higher level wrapper for all these commands10:42
cluelesspersona lack of documentation makes it supremely hard to do anything10:44
cluelesspersonhard to help, hard to improve hard to troubleshoot, hard to use10:45
pirayecluelessperson, I cant open terminal, I cant launch it10:46
cluelesspersonpiraye  looks to me that you're already in it10:46
ayewas in, you're inside your DE and the console GUI wont open?10:46
pirayeayew, I cant try what you are asking me because I cant open terminal10:46
pirayeno iam not in10:47
pirayeby mistake I upgrade into python3.7 in ubuntu 10 and I am already have ubuntu 18.0410:47
ayewcluelessperson: i had a similar conundrum trying to deal with fan speeds and temp sensors beccause my fans were all running at 100% constantly. theres a automated configuration for it, but it uses ids that change at each boot to identify each fans and hardware sensor, instead of the absolute filepaths that dont change. had to manually match them up by checking if their values lined up and hunting through a10:48
ayewmassive tree of possible locations in /sys/10:48
pirayewhat I show you i past2 it is from login into tty by Ctrl+Alt+F310:48
ayewso what do you current see in your screen?10:48
pirayesome friends here suggest me doing this: To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution10:49
pirayeunfotantly I got that error in paste210:49
pirayecluelessperson, are you reading my text, please could you help or anyone can help10:50
pirayeI am using ubuntu 18.0410:51
pirayeayew, I think it is just possible to run this "sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-apt" in treminal, right?10:52
pirayeso, terminal not working, how could I solve this problem?10:52
ayewyou can use a gui package manger such as synaptic as well10:55
andre144k hi all.. anyone know a shortcut to change insde "mc" active folder to folder from other window-side? - so that both folders are same?10:56
pirayeayew, I opened synaptic now, how can use sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-apt11:01
ayewsearch for python3-apt. right click on it and select "mark for reinstallation"11:01
ayewbut, if updating python completely broke your console somehow, i dobut this issue is the root one, merely a symptom11:02
ayewthen press apply btw11:02
pirayeayew, I did and it is done11:04
pirayenow what should i do11:04
ayewas i said, i was addressing a specific issue from you're paste, but odds are you need to revert to the previous version of python as you are on an old version of ubuntu many apps might rely on a specific version11:05
cluelesspersonWhere does the xinput list even come from?11:06
pirayethen what should i do I want the defult one11:07
ayewin order to get back into console try a different terminal emulator (if you are using ubuntu most likely you have gnome-terminal) try using synaptic to install a package called xterm11:07
ayewwhat was the original version of python you had?11:08
ayewtry the following once you get into a terminal:11:08
=== jcnmark6_ is now known as jcnmark6
pirayeit was 3.611:09
ayewsudo rm /usr/bin/python3, then sudo ln -s python3.6 python311:09
pirayehow can I do it with gnome-terminal11:10
pirayeyou mean11:10
ayewokay, easier way is to go back into tty like you said you did earlier11:10
ayewthen enter those commands11:10
pirayeok I will go there, and then what I will do11:11
pirayeaha just after login11:11
ayewsudo rm /usr/bin/python3, then sudo ln -s python3.6 python311:11
ayewyes after login11:11
pirayeok11:11
geirhathat requires that you're standing in /usr/bin, and that python3.6 is located there11:11
geirhasudo ln -sf python3.6 /usr/bin/python311:12
pirayeayew, I did11:13
pirayegeirha, i did11:15
pirayethanks a lot it is working now11:16
pirayethank you very much ayew and geirha :)11:16

unimatrix9i think i need to re-design the idea ..11:30
unimatrix9to save battery power i had btusb blacklisted11:31
unimatrix9every now and then needed to get it back, so : sudo modprobe -r btusb && sudo modprobe btusb11:31

BluesKajHi folks12:03
kristhianhi is this an issue of gcc - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9HkK7xcQrM/12:11
kristhianwhen i run make that is what i get12:11
kristhianim running ubuntu 16.04.5 xenial12:12
geirhakristhian: It passes -Wall, amongst other -W-options, to gcc. They cause gcc to warn about potentially bad code12:33
geirhakristhian: I don't see any actual errors in that output, only warnings, so the compilation should've succeeded12:33
legreffierOerHeks: i meant the host system is irrelevant as it will create some vm with the environment needed (here 18.04), the point is to be able to spawn it anywhere (whatever version of ubuntu, windows, mac, ...)12:36
kristhianlet me try running it, thanks12:40
yoggHi12:54
yoggI search for a network monitoring tool with a very high resolution and where I can have a look on the data without web interface. A cli or a create image command would be fine12:56
yoggBut I need the data from at least one day so nothing that shows me the data live (iftop, nload, ...)12:57
SpiritHorsetcpdump?12:58
ponyriderwireshark-cli? kismet? idk these are the one which ppl use12:58
ponyriderbut like.. you can have a gtk or qt interface right? so imo, just get wireshark12:58
yoggbut I don't want the data, I only want the traffic statistics12:59
yoggor do I misunderstand something here?13:00
yoggOh I see my question is not clear. I only want statistics of the network (upload in bit/byte, download ...) not the network data itself. But I need it an an lets say 5 seconds resolution13:04
yoggover one day13:05
ponyrideryogg: if you want something really specific, you could configure an API to capture only the data you want. you would have much more control13:07
yoggNo I don't want the data. I want something like munin, bandwidthd, nagios, ... but with high resolution and without the need of an web interface. "vnstat" does nearly what I wan't but has not enought resolution13:11
raverNetdata is nice13:13
raverBut a Web solution13:13
raverhttps://github.com/netdata/netdata13:14
raverhttps://unix4lyfe.org/darkstat/13:15
raverthis is much simpler and only for network traffic13:15
ponyrideryogg: but what i am saying is that if you look for an API, you can probably find one to suit your needs. I dont know if this is what you want, but just an example for a 2 second search: https://pypi.org/project/psutil/13:16

AppAraathello, I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and I want to install Python 3.6 (or higher). I've followed this guide - https://askubuntu.com/a/865644 - but "python3 -V" still says Python 3.5.214:14
ponyriderAppAraat: you would need to type python3.X or whatever version you want. there is probably a symlink in your python directory. you should not change that14:17
AppAraatponyrider: in that case, where can I find the Python 3.6 executable? If I do "python3.6 -V" it says command not found.14:18

ioriai doubt there is a python3.6 in the xenial repos14:19
stevecamno external ppa's14:19
AppAraatioria: I installed it via pyenv (see the link in my OP)14:19

ioriaAppAraat, you know there is a ppa for that, right ?  (https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/python-3.6)14:20
ponyriderAppAraat: so see the ouput of $ ls -l /usr/bin/ | grep python to see what i mean about the symlink.14:21
ponyriderif you want the interpreter you can always type: $ /usr/bin/./python3.614:22
InnerUbuntuHow can I delete an entry in the gdm's session list?14:23
InnerUbuntuI'm referring to the "list" that appears when you click on the gear14:23
AppAraatioria: I'll try that then, I thought I'd try the pyenv method since it only installs locally for the user and as such minimizes damage that might come with having multiple python versions on my system.14:23
ioriaAppAraat, i see (maybe you're right)14:24

AppAraatponyrider: a broken pip apparently :)14:33
ponyriderAppAraat: how is your pip broken?14:33
AppAraatthough according to that askubuntu link some users also claimed that ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6 broke their pip, hmmm.14:33

stevecamor anyone who has a spare vm they could open for me14:38

ponyriderleonardus: i actually dont run ubuntu, or use grub. but i do know that you can install GRUB on the windows EFI parition, and that might make things easier15:51
ponyriderbasically, if you cannot see the boot entry in grub, you haven't installed it correctly or you havent set up the boot entires correctly. there is a bunch of info online. type in something like: grub ubuntu install windows first15:53
leonardusponyrider: that's all showing results for how to get ubuntu back after installing windows15:54

nisstyrethis is a minimal example, I removed all the other stuff from it16:05
jellylotuspsychje, all ppas are external.  I'm asking "why is this download slow", and that's not each ppa's fault, that's an infrastructural issue.16:06
lotuspsychjejelly: if you ahd issues, with an official repo, i could forward you the the mirror channel, but its you that said, your slow download is from the ppa?16:07
nisstyreah I fixed it with --no-cache, dammit docker16:07
jellylotuspsychje, yes.  Do you know a contact for problems with ppa.launchpad.net?16:07
lotuspsychjejelly: there is a #launchpad channel, but i doubt thats gonna be helpful for a slow libreoffice download16:08
jellylotuspsychje, surely it does not matter WHICH download is slow.  I could be downloading something else from some other ppa and it would likely be slow as well16:09

jadaxhi, I have 2 WiFi adapters. Both of them are currently connected to the same WiFi network. Is there a way I can disconnect one of them from the menu?16:15
jadaxif I do 'turn-off' on any wifis then whole WiFi goes off and both of them disconnect16:16
lotuspsychjejadax: normally systemsettings/wifi should have your 2 wifi chipsets showing ontop16:17
ioriajadax, do the two nics have different interface names ? if yes: ip link set dev <name> down16:19
jadaxyes, system settings / wifi shows 2 interfaces16:23
jadaxand there's on/off button on the right hand side from them16:23
jadaxbut if I turn it off - whole wifi (both interfaces) go down at the same time16:23
jadaxioria - they do have different names, but I'm afraid if I turn one off through cmd line, GUI will turn it on or something like that16:24
ioriajadax, have you tried ?16:24
jadaxI don't like how on ubuntu there are many different places to configure one thing and often times they collide with each other16:24
jadaxI'm trying to see first if I can do it through GUI16:25
jadaxif not, I will follow your instructions16:25
jadaxioria I tried ip link set dev <interface> down16:28
jadaxand it came back up16:28
jadaxactually, I am not sure16:28

za1b1tsuHi, I made a mistake. I modified the grub file in /etc/default and now my OS won't boot. I'm using now a live usb with ubuntu to try to edit the file on my sdd, but the sdd does not appear in the file manager, what can I do?19:04
Bashing-omza1b1tsu: from the liveUSB - what shows ' sudo parted -l ' for partitions on the hard drive ?19:09
za1b1tsuBashing-om, I did this, fdisk -l, mkdir ~/media1, sudo mount /dev/sda ~/media1 and edited the file with sudo vi19:10
za1b1tsurestarting, finger crossed19:10
Bashing-omza1b1tsu: :D and toes :)19:11
za1b1tsudoes not boot :(19:11
za1b1tsuso maybe that was not it :(19:11
za1b1tsuwhat can I do to debug?19:11
ioriaza1b1tsu,  1) you need  sudo update-grub after (hence the critical fs bind mounted ) , 2) you mount the partition not the device19:12
za1b1tsuso how could I run sudo update-grub now19:12
za1b1tsusystem does not bood19:12
ioriayou need the livecd (or recovery in rw mode)19:13
za1b1tsubooting pack the liveusb ubuntu19:13
za1b1tsu*back19:13
za1b1tsuso, I just run sudo update-grub in a terminal?19:15
ioriaplease read above19:15
EriC^^za1b1tsu: what did you edit the file?19:16
EriC^^*in the19:17
EriC^^za1b1tsu: you can press shift to get grub and then edit the stuff one time to boot, then run sudo update-grub19:24
za1b1tsuI am on the live usb19:25
za1b1tsuso sudo fdisk -l, shows /dev/sda119:25

za1b1tsuno19:25
za1b1tsubut /dev/sda1 has 400gb19:25
za1b1tsuso it's the ssd19:25
EriC^^ok, try 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt'19:26
za1b1tsuit mounted19:26
za1b1tsunow I run sudo update-grub, correct?19:26
EriC^^za1b1tsu: ok, type "for i in /dev /proc /sys; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done"19:26
EriC^^za1b1tsu: not yet, you need to mount --bind the virtual filesystems from the live usb and then chroot to the install19:27
EriC^^did you run the for command?19:28
za1b1tsuit says mount: /mnt/dev: mount(2) system call failed: No such file or directory19:29
za1b1tsufor proc and sys as well19:29
EriC^^za1b1tsu: ok, that means something isnt right19:29
EriC^^za1b1tsu: does the pc have an internet connection currently?19:30
za1b1tsunow it does19:30

za1b1tsumy bad, my friend there was a typo in the mount script19:33
EriC^^no worries19:33
EriC^^type "sudo chroot /mnt"19:34
za1b1tsuI am on root@ubuntu/#19:34

za1b1tsuand IT BOOTS19:37
za1b1tsuthank you Eric^^19:37
EriC^^za1b1tsu: great, no problem19:37
za1b1tsuI changed GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nouveau.modeset=0"19:38
za1b1tsubecause the monitor (hdmi) does not wake up after hibernation19:38
za1b1tsufound while googling19:38
EriC^^i see19:38
EriC^^seems to be common, the hibernation problems19:39
za1b1tsuyeah, linux has to hurt a little bit19:39
EriC^^i dunno if it helps for hdmi monitor stuff, but sometimes acpi_osi stuff in grub helps with suspend/hibernation stuff19:39
za1b1tsumodifying grub again... hmm :D19:40
EriC^^xD19:40
EriC^^it shouldn't really have bad effects like the modeset one though, if it ever does go sour you can always hold shift -> press "e" and edit the boot entry and press F10 for a one time boot19:41
ioriahonestly that parameter should not stop the booting19:41
EriC^^you dont have to really modify grub too, you can try a one-time boot using acpi_osi using the same method19:41
za1b1tsuahm what I did is modify GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""19:44
za1b1tsuinstead of GRUB_CNMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT19:44

EriC^^za1b1tsu: no, you need to add something to the linux line ,linux /boot/vmlinuz ....quiet splash19:50
za1b1tsufound the line19:50
za1b1tsuI add acpi_osi=Linux there?19:51
EriC^^nah, boot normally for a sec19:51
za1b1tsuok19:52
EriC^^and run sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i windows19:52
EriC^^take the latest version you find there, and add after quiet splash acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=\"Windows 2010\"    or whatever you find there as a version19:53
za1b1tsuhmm19:56
EriC^^za1b1tsu: actually i dont think you need to escape the " there with \ if you're typing it straight into grub19:56
za1b1tsuI do sudo update-grub?19:57
EriC^^za1b1tsu: ok19:57
EriC^^za1b1tsu: you added it to /etc/default/grub?19:57
za1b1tsuno19:58
za1b1tsuI thought it worked with current params19:58
za1b1tsuI will edit then19:58
EriC^^za1b1tsu: it does19:58
EriC^^nevermind19:58
EriC^^za1b1tsu: did you run the sudo strings command?19:58
za1b1tsuyes, I added Windows 200919:58
EriC^^za1b1tsu: ok, try to reboot, hold shift, press "e"19:59
za1b1tsubut I do sudo update-grub correct?19:59
EriC^^then after quiet splash in the linux line, type      acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"19:59
EriC^^then press F10 to boot19:59
EriC^^za1b1tsu: no, no need19:59

JukasI'm trying Ubuntu 18.04 on a vm I spun up as an alternative to the centos7 distros I normally run.  This is a fresh install, and I'm using ufw with iptables-persistent loaded from apt.  When I do a ufw-reload I'm getting ERROR: problem running ufw-initiptables-restore: line 2 failed20:17
EriC^^Jukas: do you know where it stores the config file? also #ubuntu-server might have more users who know more about the issue20:18
ferzI've trouble using packages from postgresql repository: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/58590320:19
ferzHow can I fix?20:19
JukasEriC^^ No idea.  is #ubuntu geared more towards desktop usage?20:20
EriC^^Jukas: well, not really, but the #ubuntu-server channel is plain server guys20:20
EriC^^Jukas: you could try "dpkg -L iptables-persistent" to maybe spot the config, or run the ufw reload with strace to see which file it's opening20:21
EriC^^ferz: type "uname -m"20:23
EriC^^ferz: what does that output?20:24
EriC^^Jukas: i guess it might be something to do with the package itself, not the config as i suggested20:28
EriC^^google shows alot of bug reports for ufw of various line X stuff errors20:29
JukasEriC^^ I also did some google searching but couldn't find anything that matched my error.  I thought 18.04 was LTS, so it would be a bit surprising for the firewall frontend to not work right out of the box20:31
EriC^^Jukas: yeah, in some searches for some reason the kernel seems to have been an issue, maybe the latest has a problem?20:32
EriC^^Jukas: which kernel are you running?20:33
JukasEriC^^ I'll have to check as soon as the vm is spun back up20:33
JukasEriC^^ Linux 4.15.0-58-generic x86_6420:38

EriC^^Jukas: try updating to 60? worth a try i guess20:39
EriC^^sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade20:40
JukasEriC^^ interestingly enough, when a ufw reload fails, it kills all inbound *and* outbound connections.  So once it happens I have to roll back to a snapshot and spin the vm back up.  Is it typical for in Ubuntu for common systemctl services not to be registered?  I can't restart NeworkManager.service or iptables.service from systemctl20:41
EriC^^Jukas: mine is called network-manager.service20:46
EriC^^Jukas: i dont have any iptables service though20:46
