| TJ- | suspend/resume OK? | 00:01 |
| flog | But the backlight keys worked in the default DE. | 00:01 |
| flog | *worked out of the box | 00:01 |
| flog | I believe it suspends just fine. | 00:01 |
| flog | Is there anywhere i could check what it is actually doing with suspend and resume? | 00:02 |
| TJ- | We see quite a few issues with suspend/resume and devices misbehaving due to ACPI so that sounds promising | 00:02 |
| TJ- | flog: the kernel log after a resume, "journalctl -k" | 00:02 |
| flog | I dont have a-k flag. | 00:03 |
| TJ- | flog: it should list just the kernel messages | 00:03 |

| lotuspsychje | lemme read holdon | 07:16 |
| ChiLLabiS | Thank you! lotuspsychje | 07:16 |
| ChiLLabiS | Though i'm waiting for someone to make this fix on to Bionic | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ChiLLabiS: kernel team says its fixxed in -proposed? | 07:18 |
| ChiLLabiS | What does that means lotuspsychje ? | 07:18 |
| ChiLLabiS | Will it be on bionic? | 07:19 |
| ChiLLabiS | Fix Committed on Disco, not released | 07:19 |
| lotuspsychje | ChiLLabiS: they say you need to verify the bug first | 07:19 |
| lotuspsychje | ChiLLabiS: i think what it means is, you test the proposed repo, to see if it fixes | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | ChiLLabiS: if you unsure, please ask in #ubuntu-kernel | 07:20 |
| ChiLLabiS | okay thanks for your answer lotuspsychje | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | ChiLLabiS: another option could be testing a daily 19.10 with a higher kernel | 07:20 |
| ChiLLabiS | It's says the fix is released on Eoan | 07:21 |
| lotuspsychje | right ok | 07:21 |
| ChiLLabiS | Was hoping they would fix this for bionic | 07:22 |
| ChiLLabiS | since it's LTS | 07:22 |
| lotuspsychje | ChiLLabiS: try to enable proposed in software&sources | 07:22 |

| deanc | Just upgraded to 19.04 on a pretty bog standard system. In my dock i only have a launcher icon (9 dots) and no app icons. They're all gone. Any ideas? Googling hasn't helped here | 10:43 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: is your graphics card installed correctly? | 10:44 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: it's onboard graphics, so i presume drivers come with the kernel | 10:45 |
| deanc | Everything else works, just the icons to launch the apps from the dock are missing | 10:45 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: updated system aswell? | 10:45 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: yep fully up to date 19.04 | 10:45 |
| deanc | this only happened after the update | 10:45 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: ok great, could you pastebin a dmesg please, lets see whats going on | 10:45 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: how do i do that? | 10:46 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: from /var/log manual, or type dmesg in a terminal, then copy paste to pastebin | 10:46 |
| lotuspsychje | !paste | 10:46 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 10:46 |
| deanc | thanks, one moment | 10:46 |
| deanc | !pastebinit | 10:47 |

| deanc | lotuspsychje: is there anything that might be sensitive in the dmesg output? | 10:48 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: no personal info is logged there, just debug info | 10:48 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: unless your username perhaps | 10:48 |

| lotuspsychje | deanc: bad url | 10:49 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/W3XZN6QtT5/ | 10:49 |
| deanc | sorry :) | 10:49 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: so you also can confirm, dock was working on the default kernel from your iso right? | 10:50 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: prior to upgrading to 19.04, i was using 18.10 and the dock was working correctly | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | oh.. thats another story | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: when did you upgrade from 18.10? | 10:51 |
| deanc | a few minutes ago ;-) | 10:51 |
| deanc | this was the first problem i noticed. | 10:51 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: 18.10 is long end of life at this moment, unwanted behaviour might arise from it | 10:51 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: indeed, which is why i moved to 19.04 | 10:52 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: we usually reccomend to upgrade before its eol, for security reasons and unstability | 10:53 |
| lotuspsychje | but lemme read more dmesg | 10:53 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: interestingly that little 9dotted icon does actually work, so the dock is somewhat functioning. just doesn't have any of my apps i had in there before :) | 10:53 |
| kubuntu__ | hi | 10:54 |
| deanc | It seems it's "Dash to dock" and in the settings of that there is a "Show applications icon" which toggles that 9 dotted icon :). There is also a "Show faourite applications" setting which when toggled on and off does nothing | 10:54 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: nothing too weird in dmesg | 10:55 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: does apt give your errors of any kind when rying to update? | 10:56 |
| lotuspsychje | *trying | 10:56 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: just a normal apt-get update? | 10:56 |
| lotuspsychje | !uptodate | deanc | 10:56 |
| ubottu | deanc: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. | 10:56 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: there are no errors doing apt-get update | 10:56 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: would it be worthwhile reinstall dash to dock and restarting? | 10:57 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: yes try that please | 10:57 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: i found that soluton on google, but not the commands, can you help? | 10:57 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: sudo apt purge gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock | 10:58 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: and then reboot, then the equivalent apt-get install of the same package? | 10:59 |
| lotuspsychje | yes, does apt want to purge more packages on that command? | 10:59 |
| deanc | it does | 10:59 |
| deanc | it wants ubuntu-desktop* and ubuntu-desktop-minimal* too | 10:59 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: ok dont reboot then, and reinstall right after purge ubuntu-desktop etc aswell | 11:00 |
| deanc | ok | 11:00 |
| deanc | okay so i did the purge, then sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock ubuntu-desktop | 11:02 |
| lotuspsychje | great | 11:02 |
| lotuspsychje | now reboot after, lets see :p | 11:02 |
| deanc | should i choose "ubuntu" or "ubuntu with wayland" btw in the login shell (i tried both to see if the icons came back) | 11:02 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: default is ubuntu, its the users choice to use wayland | 11:03 |
| deanc | i'll use stock ubuntu for now as i dont know too much about the difference | 11:03 |
| deanc | okay lotuspsychje: unfortunately no favourite icons | 11:03 |
| deanc | could it be it cleared my favourites somehow? how do i add one? | 11:03 |
| deanc | ah it;s not that, i can right click chrome in the app launcher and see it has "remove from favourites" | 11:03 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: are the stock icons showing? | 11:04 |
| deanc | it literally is the 9 dot icon and nothing else in the dock | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | an empty dock correct? | 11:04 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: an empty dock apart from that application launcher icon | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | kk | 11:04 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: interestingly when i click activities nothing shows until i start typing. i dont remember this behaviour before? Or maybe i forgot | 11:04 |
| deanc | I am referring to the activities text in the top left | 11:05 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: can you install dconf-tools please | 11:06 |
| deanc | sure, on cli? | 11:06 |
| lotuspsychje | yes | 11:06 |
| deanc | done | 11:06 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: now dconf-editor from terminal | 11:07 |
| deanc | done | 11:07 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: in the search function type dock | 11:07 |
| deanc | there's 3 entries | 11:07 |
| deanc | "Show the dock when using the hotkeys" (On) "Dock position" ('BOTTOM') "Dock always visible" (On) | 11:08 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock | 11:08 |
| deanc | yep | 11:08 |
| lotuspsychje | hmm somethings not right, i got like 20 entrys | 11:08 |
| deanc | sorry lotuspsychje i didnt hit enter | 11:09 |
| deanc | there are a lot more now i pressed enter | 11:09 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: search for the entry: show-favorites | 11:09 |
| deanc | it's on | 11:09 |
| lotuspsychje | hmmz | 11:09 |
| lotuspsychje | puzzle :p | 11:10 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: how about if you install gnome-tweak-tool | 11:10 |
| deanc | i have it installed lotuspsychje | 11:10 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: extensions tab | 11:10 |
| lotuspsychje | dock enabled? | 11:10 |
| deanc | dash to dock is enabled at the top | 11:11 |
| deanc | ubuntu dock is disabled | 11:11 |
| deanc | i did look into that, apparently that ubuntu dock extension is a placeholder to reserve the namesapce of it or something | 11:11 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: lets doublecheck: sudo lshw -C video | 11:11 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: driver= at bottom loaded? | 11:11 |
| deanc | The only thing under gnome tweaks that caught my eye was under Appearance the "Shell" is greyed out with error "shell user theme extension not enabled" | 11:11 |
| deanc | drive=i915 is somewhere in that output lotuspsychje | 11:12 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: thats good | 11:12 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: hmm maybe when 18.10 was eol and you upgraded something went wrong with themes? | 11:12 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: can you switch a theme? | 11:13 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: i tried switching theme to bring back the icons, didnt work :) | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | right | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: how about manually picking other icon themes | 11:13 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: have tried that too | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | ok another idea, create a new user deanc test dock from there | 11:14 |
| deanc | okay one moment! | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | lets rule out if its user related | 11:14 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: logged in as new user "testuser", i have a dock on the left with a bunch of icons :) | 11:15 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: right, so it must be user related from eol to 19.04 | 11:16 |
| lotuspsychje | we need to clear settings somehow | 11:16 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: i loaded tweak tool on this new user, and there isn't even a "dash to dock" extension loaded | 11:17 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: did you make a backup of your home etc | 11:18 |
| deanc | lotuspsychje: not particularly | 11:18 |
| deanc | but i dont have anything hugely important in there | 11:18 |
| lotuspsychje | deanc: gnome-tweak-tool has a 'reset-to-defaults' option on options ontop | 11:19 |
| lotuspsychje | next to activities that is | 11:19 |
| lotuspsychje | right mouse | 11:19 |

| deanc | lotuspsychje: while i have your ear, i asked a question about using xserver-xorg-video-dummy package to have a dummy display that i can nomachine/rdp into. Unfortunately a side-effect of this is that while the config is active on boot, if you plug a physical display in (and even reboot again) it simply doesnt send any video to it past the "Ubuntu loading" display. Any ideas how i can get a headless fake display whilst still allowing me to use a | 11:47 |

| deanc | I'm trying to avoid buying a headless HDMI plug, as it's difficult to get one shipped to the nordics | 11:48 |

| EriC^^ | Josse: no it doesnt make your pc slower, it just uses space on the hard disk, you can remove it easily if you install in uefi mode, if your windows is in legacy mode then ubuntu would overwrite the bootloader, so you'd have to back that up before installing ubuntu to revert back completely, or you'd need to have a windows cd that you can use after removing ubuntu to reinstall the bootloader | 12:16 |

| Netmage | Hi, I bought a new 4K screen. Does anyone know how it would be possible to split my Ubuntu 19.04 screen automatically into 4 screens. I know that ubuntu support to fix 2 windows (when I push the window to the edge of the screen) but 4 ? | 14:36 |
| Sven_vB | why can a slow firefox slow down my mouse cursor? and how do I give my mouse cursor movement total priority over firefox? | 14:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | nvm, found them, under ~/.local/share/xorg/ | 14:44 |
| Sven_vB | Netmage, what do you mean by "split"? use all the screens as one big virtual screen, like with xinerama? | 14:45 |
| hortiel | hi | 14:48 |
| hortiel | how 'd I use pxe for if no wired connection | 14:48 |

| groke | Sven_vB: maybe you run some firefox plugins that are slow | 14:49 |
| ramsub07 | Hello. I believe that my ISP is regulating bandwidth for different websites. The only form of proof I have is the speed of download of various sites using curl. Is there any better way of verifying this so I can hold him accountable? | 14:49 |
| ramsub07 | sorry if it's off topic | 14:49 |
| Sven_vB | groke, you mean step 1 would be to make a cgroup for firefox so I can be sure to catch them as well? | 14:50 |
| groke | no clue what a cgroup is.. :) | 14:50 |
| Sven_vB | groke, a control group can group a process and all its child processes together. however, I doubt any of my addons fork their own non-firefox processes. | 14:51 |
| groke | right | 14:51 |
| Sven_vB | albeit it's probably a good idea to arrange for my mouse cursor movement to have priority over ANY application inside my X session. | 14:52 |
| groke | you can use the nice number i guess, Sven_vB | 14:53 |
| groke | think you can set it from htop | 14:53 |
| Sven_vB | good idea. which process handles my cursor movement? | 14:54 |
| groke | it may well be the firefox process itself, at least when it is inside the firefox window | 14:54 |
| groke | firefox use the gtk libs, and gtk draws mouse cursors | 14:55 |
| groke | but im no expert in this | 14:55 |
| Netmage | Sven_vB, I mean usually I manually rearrange the size of every (of the 4) window that I have 4 windows that fit into the 4K screen. | 14:59 |
| Sven_vB | Netmage, so the problem is just to automatically place the windows? | 15:00 |
| Netmage | yes | 15:01 |
| Sven_vB | Netmage, a lot of window managers have features for rule-based automatic placement. if your's doesn't, you could use wmctrl to move them. the coordinates given to -e might need an offset to accomodate for window decoration. | 15:02 |
| Sven_vB | xdotool can probably do it, too. | 15:03 |
| groke | Netmage: check the concept of "tiling window manager" | 15:04 |
| groke | they're ugly though | 15:04 |
| groke | i like gnome more | 15:04 |
| groke | there may be shell extensions in gnome that support tiling | 15:05 |
| Netmage | Does both window manager "tiling window manager" and "wmctrl" work under gnome ? | 15:05 |
| Netmage | Gnome (Ubuntu 19.04) ? | 15:05 |
| Sven_vB | wmctrl and xdotool should work. | 15:06 |
| Sven_vB | A tiling WM mostly means the WM doesn't allow free placement of windows, but fills pre-defined slots instead, always. | 15:07 |
| Sven_vB | if you want that grid effect for just some applications, you should try other methods of making the grid alignment. (like wmctrl or xdotool | 15:08 |
| ioria | https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/07/material-shell-tiling-gnome-shell-extension | 15:09 |
| Sven_vB | btw any idea why some keys (like close parens have no effect when VLC is running or has been running within the last few seconds; also question mark | 15:10 |
| Sven_vB | using xenial | 15:10 |
| Netmage | Cool. I will try all the recommendations. Thank you very much | 15:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | Sven_vB: Xorg is what has control over the mouse at all times. If Firefox appears to be slowing down the mouse cursor, it has nothing to do with Firefox having control over the mouse. It is because Firefox is requiring more system resources than your machine has available at the time. This is often caused by poorly coded websites making use of large amounts of Video advertisements, large and poorly written JavaScript, or any | 15:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | number of the extension you may have installed. | 15:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | Sven_vB: Start with the simple approach. Remove all extensions from Firefox that you have installed, if any. Especially Adblockers, they scan each page looking for ads, and many are really poorly written and suck up a ton of system memory. Find reputable adblockers that meet your needs. Popular choices are EFF's Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin, they are both lightweight and interfere minimally with the operation of Firefox. Only | 15:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | install one extension at a time, and browse the web for awhile. Try going to sites that tend to slow down the computer. If after removing the extension, the computer/mouse function normally. Now you know that one of the extension is to blame. If the site behaves, you can try adding the next extension back into firefox | 15:20 |
| Sven_vB | pragmaticenigma, are you trying to say there's no easy way to confine a sometimes-hostile application other then not use it at all? | 15:21 |
| Sven_vB | I had imagined an OS would be able to guard such basic stuff like its mouse cursor from misbehaving apps. | 15:22 |
| Sven_vB | well I could probably virtualize it if there's no easier way. | 15:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | Sven_vB: Your computer has a finite amount of resources available. There are guards against specific known malicious behaviors, but to monitor an application in real time for poor performance and malicious actions would slow the machine down to a crawl as each processor instruction would have to be analyzed before execution by another program, which those actions would need to be analyzed, and so and so forth. The machine would | 15:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | never run | 15:24 |
| Sven_vB | couldn't it just prioritize inputs? | 15:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | Sven_vB: A computer prioritizes the inputs of the person at the keyboard. It is only capable of doing what you "tell" it to do. There is no magic algorithm that could determine your intent at any given moment and make sure something is given priority over something else. | 15:26 |
| Sven_vB | oh ic. I had thought X might register something like an interrupt to fire at high priority each time a pointer device speaks. | 15:27 |
| Sven_vB | (and would then paint whatever was last selected by applications as the preferred mouse sprite.) | 15:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | Sven_vB: This is all moving way into off topic territory. For operating system theology and history. Try asking in ##linux or searching for a more appropriate forum | 15:29 |
| Sven_vB | ok! | 15:29 |
| Sven_vB | thanks anyway, also for trying to help with taming firefox itself. :) | 15:30 |

| fengway | What is the best way to install windows 10 beside my ubuntu? | 18:56 |
| EriC^^ | fengway: define best | 18:57 |
| fengway | Easiest way for a noob | 18:58 |
| fengway | i need detailed tutorial, but most tutorials are for installing ubuntu when you already have Windows | 18:58 |
| EriC^^ | fengway: it's pretty easy, you'll need to free some space from the windows partition (shrink it) and once you have unallocated space, boot a live ubuntu usb and let it do its thing | 18:59 |
| fengway | When I free space for windows why do I need to use ubuntu live usb? Does it help you to install windows? | 19:00 |
| EriC^^ | fengway: if you're installing in legacy mode (not uefi) then you might want to back up your disk's bootloader before installing ubuntu if you dont have a windows usb that you can use to reinstall the bootloader, if you choose to remove ubuntu later | 19:00 |
| Voziv | EriC^^: He means the other way around. He has ubuntu, and wants to install windows | 19:00 |
| EriC^^ | crap, i misread it fengway | 19:00 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 19:00 |
| Voziv | I think the main hurdle is getting the boatloader to work afterwards. I think windows will kill grub | 19:01 |
| EriC^^ | fengway: well, in that case, it's basically the same, you'll need a live ubuntu usb to shrink some space, have windows install, then use the live usb to reinstall grub | 19:01 |

| fengway | config_table esrt fw_vendor runtime-map varsefivars fw_platform_size runtime systab | 19:04 |
| fengway | shows this | 19:04 |
| EriC^^ | ok, good that means you're using uefi | 19:05 |
| fengway | so i install windows iso and ubuntu live on same usb with no special configurations? | 19:05 |
| EriC^^ | fengway: i dunno if that would work, it's not what i meant though | 19:06 |
| EriC^^ | just make a live ubuntu usb first, repartition ubuntu as you wish, then make the windows usb | 19:07 |
| EriC^^ | install windows, then from windows make an ubuntu usb again, and boot it to reinstall grub | 19:07 |
| fengway | ah okey | 19:07 |
| EriC^^ | fengway: kinda tedious | 19:07 |
| EriC^^ | there's another way since you're using uefi | 19:07 |
| EriC^^ | but you end up with 2 efi partitions instead of 1 | 19:08 |
| fengway | i can buy another usb, just to make it easy | 19:08 |
| fengway | thanks for the help, i will try the vmware channel and see if they can help me with my printer so i don't need to install windows | 19:08 |

| dStruct | fleabeard: lsusb will show you what devices you have connected via usb, and dmesg or /var/log/syslog can probably narrow down where the driver mapped it to | 23:33 |
| === justache[SF] is now known as justache | ||
| dStruct | fleabeard: for example grep -i "usb" /var/log/syslog | 23:33 |
| dStruct | fleabeard: just be aware that those /dev/ttyUSBx ports will move around on you if you have multiple usb serial interfaces, so if you have say 2 usb dongles either one could be ttyUSB0 depending on what order they detect on bootup | 23:34 |
| dStruct | fleabeard: once you find the right device, make sure your user is in the dialout group, at least I think that's what they still call it, you'll need to logout and back in to activate the change | 23:37 |
| fleabeard | dStruct, https://pastebin.com/0e8LcXNi am I reading that output correctly? I'm assuming ttyUSB0 is it. This is a small netbook with only 2 USB ports and the other uses a Bluetooth dongle for my wireless mouse :) | 23:38 |

| akemlenovo_ | analogical, something like "chmod a+r /path/to/file" set it readable for everyone. | 23:55 |
| dStruct | analogical: there is a lot of information available online about file ownership and permissions, the file in question would need to be owned by the person opening it, or part of a group said user is in and have the correct permissions set. So you could do chown you:you file.txt and then chmod 777 file.txt for example | 23:56 |
| akemlenovo_ | You could also change owner or just set mode for the group etc... | 23:56 |
| doug16k | analogical, are you trying to edit a system configuration file but find that it won't let you save it? | 23:56 |
| doug16k | for that, just put sudo before your editor command and it will run it as root, which has almost certainly has permission | 23:57 |
| dStruct | doug16k: unless they're talking text editor or a gui application, then gksudo | 23:57 |
