[00:00] I have two systems. ones a desktop ones a laptop. On the desktop I have successful installed with no issue wine-stable v3.0. this pulled in only wine-stable v3.0. I need v3.0 because for some reason the application I am trying to run does not work on v4.0.2-1. When i try to install wine-stable on my laptop, it manditorily forces me to also install wine v4.0.2-1 wine64 v4.0.2-1 along with wine-stable [00:00] v3.0, going without saying having wine 4.0.2-1 and wine-stable v3.0 installed together causes conflicts and leads also to the application I am trying to run not working. So is there a way to force ubuntu to only install wine-stable v3 and not wine v4 and wine64 v4 along with it? for some reason this "just worked" on my desktop. but is not working on the laptop. both are esentially the same install. and [00:00] both were manually upgraded at the same time from 18.04 to 18.10 to 19.04 to 19.10. [00:04] gimpnixon, What if you try to manually uninstall just the 4.0? [00:07] akemlenovo, you mean 3.0? Like with a ppa, or a deb package?? [00:07] That is a possibility i have not tried yet, i was honestly hoping to find a solution that allowed me to stick soley with apt package manager. [00:07] anybody in channel able to speak to how well ubuntu 19.04 works on dell 9560 laptops? mostly concerned with nvidia-prime, but all info is welcome. websearch turns up few and conflicting results. [00:08] gimpnixon, on my Ubuntu 18.04 i have only 1 wine-stable and it's 3.0-1 [00:08] akemlenovo, Yes, I'm running 19.10. but i've taken this question to #ubuntu+1 and it's its a total ghost town, i havent got a reply form anyone in three days [00:09] gimpnixon, You said you wanted to keep only the v 3.0 because your app works with this one only? [00:09] gimpnixon, Ha ok. [00:10] gimpnixon, try this: dpkg --get-selections | grep -i wine-stable [00:10] It came back with nothing at all [00:11] gimpnixon, did you copy pasted it? no mistake? [00:11] You should have at least one entry. [00:12] the major confusion to me is how the desktop installed wine-stable just fine. and he laptop wants to draw in v 4.0.2-1. I figured apt would realize the version differences and want to omit or remove the other version [00:13] akemlenovo: https://ibb.co/xSBv4jp [00:13] look [00:14] no entry [00:14] gimpnixon, try with just "wine" instead then. [00:15] Instead of "wine-stable". [00:15] Still nothing [00:16] .. does this mean you have no wine packages at all installed? [00:16] gimpnixon, well... try: apt-get install wine-stable [00:17] as mentioned, I have. and when i do this it trys to install wine v4.0.2-1 and wine64 v4.0.2-1 and wine-stable v3.0 all three at the same time [00:17] all of them all together [00:18] regardless of the conflicting versions [00:18] sarnold, this ma. i do have no wine packages installed at al [00:18] may* [00:19] can you pastebin the whole output froem the apt-get install wine-stable? [00:19] I can again yes. [00:20] https://pastebin.com/Qn47Ycts [00:21] I have never experienced a time when apt would try to install conflicting packages ontop of eachother [00:22] so is why my mind is boggled right now. I've ran dev branch as soon as they are available and this has been one of the first times that i'm just totally stumped [00:22] Yeah, looks like a conflict in versions. [00:23] sine like ubuntu 14 [00:23] i've been run dev branch. and this is a first [00:23] The thing is, The desktop machine does not have this behavior [00:24] Only the laptop. both 19.10 [00:25] Maybe there was an update in between, which would explain the version 3.0 on your desktop. [00:25] And the wine-stable package wasn't updated for some reason :/ [00:26] version 3.0 should be avalable to me, since its the stable version, [00:26] Even in dev branch you still get stable version of packages, but you also get the new packages as well. [00:26] akemlenovo, yeah i have no idea. its a noggin scratcher [00:27] gimpnixon, I see, i don't know how to solve this either, sorry. [00:27] I thank you guys for your help, I'll keep messing with it. and see waht i can come up with yet. I dont think anything has stumped me forever yet. so It'll either work itself out of I'll get soemthing going. [00:29] The only thing i have different is the sources on the two machines. but I wouldnt think that this would effect the process apt uses to fetch packages [00:29] I'm going to try to set the laptop back to the other sources and see if that has any effect [00:29] gimpnixon: what does apt-cache show wine-stable | grep Filename: report? [00:29] I switched sources to a different one of the laptop because it was closer [00:30] Filename: pool/universe/w/wine1.6/wine-stable_3.0.1ubuntu1_all.deb [00:31] Stepping away for a couple mins, be back [00:33] gimpnixon: sooooo.. this wine-stable package exists *only* to install the newer wine package from the wine source package, rather than the wine1.6 package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/1:3.0.1ubuntu1 [00:34] hi [00:35] sarnald, so you're telling me 'it's a feature" ? [00:35] can someone tell me why the command sudo dd if=/users/alexandrdvorkin/Downloads/ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.dmg of=/dev/rdisk3s2 doesn't not write Ubuntu to my flash drive [00:36] i partitioned it MS-DOS FAT [00:36] sarnold, The weird thing Is that , on my desktop this did not happen, it installed wine-stable alone. [00:37] sarnold, that is an interesting find, thank you [00:37] it doesn't work with Journalized partition either BUT IT WORKED BEFORE i am on Mac [00:38] it takes the command but all i see is the great rectangle [00:39] alexandrdvorkin: what's /dev/rdisk3s2? [00:40] gimpnixon: and you're sure your desktop isn't pre-disco? [00:40] its the usb flashdrive which is disk 3 but then it has the UNTITILED partition underneath it which disk3s2 [00:42] alexandrdvorkin: and why did you write it to a partition rather than just overwriting the whole thing? [00:43] i am trying now to /dev/rdisk3 it returns Resource busy [00:43] i did before it worked from some 3rd time [00:43] you may need to umount any filesystems.. [00:45] hey guys, having trouble seeing if there is a package for php 7.2.22 for ubuntu that addresses recent security bugs. Has anyone dealt with this yet? [00:45] ok unmounted [00:46] do i write the .dmg or .iso [00:47] mvcggsql: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/php7.2.html [00:48] sarnold, both systems were pre-disco [00:49] so either is ok [00:50] sarnold, thank you. My version of ubuntu is listed as DNE, i'm not sure what that stands for though [00:51] mvcggsql: that means php 7.2 wasn't packaged for that specific release [00:51] gimpnixon: aha, this change of wine-stable as a transdition package was introduced in disco [00:52] sarnold, they both have been up with consistent updates together since 17.10 Artful Ardvark [00:52] sarnold, thanks again. I had actually looked at the wrong php version. So if it is released and I have run apt-get update & upgrade I guess I should have it [00:53] mvcggsql: which ubuntu release do you have? [00:53] sarnold, i see waht you're saying now though [00:54] sarnold, 18.04.3 LTS [00:54] sarnold, wine-stable is listed as a transitional package on the laptop but not the desktop [00:54] sarnold so that would explain the behavior [00:55] php -v indicates version PHP 7.2.19-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 [00:55] mvcggsql: hmm, apt-cache show php shows that it brings in php7.2.. [00:55] I was concerned by 7.2.19 being below 7.2.22, but perhaps the -0ubuntu0.18.04.2 means its updated/secure [00:55] sarnold, so i guess the only option would be to get a .deb of wine v3 like akemlonovo mentioned earlier [00:56] worth a try [00:56] or run an old release in a VM [00:56] I'll prbably just wait for it to work itself out I guess. the application i'm trying to run is for pleasure, not business so it's not super pressing. [00:58] sarnold, php -v appears to show the same version number as on the link you provided. I guess that means i'm running the updated release. Thanks for you help. [00:58] is filezilla ok to use? [00:58] I need to share files between ubuntu hosts and windows hosts [00:59] using a gui interface preferably [00:59] browse files, copy and move files back and forth [00:59] the ubuntu hosts have ssh daemon running [01:09] CoolerX: try it === zbenjamin is now known as Guest18189 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === zbenjamin is now known as Guest19867 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:07] Anyone know if repos exist for older versions of Ubuntu 16.04? E.g. 16.04.2. I can't seem to find one, I just find the general latest Ubuntu 16.04 repo. [02:08] cuddylier: what are you trying to do? [02:08] Trying to install Ubuntu 16.04.2 via PXE [02:08] It's not something I usually try and do but I have to in this specific case. [02:10] cuddylier: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04.2/ [02:10] Yeah, that's just the ISO though, right? [02:11] you can hit the "don't install updates during install" to keep all the packages from the iso and not install security updates and bug fixes if that's what you need [02:11] I'm trying to find a way to install via PXE though which usually uses the repo for the install process e.g. latest Ubuntu 16.04 installs use http://mirrors.rit.edu/ubuntu/ in my specific case for example. [02:12] Which is just the latest repos [02:12] So I need to replicate that essentially but for 16.04.2 [02:12] that is all, there are no in-between repos [02:12] Ah :( [02:13] cuddylier: why? [02:13] Why to what specifically? [02:13] the dot releases just used whatever HWE kernel was current at the time, whatever updated packages were fixed at the time.. [02:13] cuddylier: what exactly do you need from 16.04.2? [02:13] I have a specific application that doesn't work with later than 16.04.2 [02:13] cuddylier: what aspect of it? [02:13] but *why* :) [02:13] cuddylier: which application? [02:13] I don't know that much unfortunately, possibly the kernel if that's the only difference between the difference 16.04 versions. [02:14] cuddylier: you should narrow down exactly what isn't compatible [02:14] cuddylier: reverting to previous kernels is fairly easy [02:14] if that's the case then you can probably just select the original 16.04 LTS release kernel and skip the HWE kernel [02:15] My issue with PXE is that it gets all the necessary files from the repo, it doesn't use an ISO. [02:15] I know I can do the install manually via ISO without an issue, I want to avoid that though. [02:16] cuddylier: first, it could. 2nd, you could tell your pxe preseed/kickstart to install/remove whatever kernel you want [02:16] If I changed the kernel, that wouldn't change the system Ubuntu version though, right? [02:17] correct [02:17] Hmm, I guess manual install then is the only way for now then if I'm not wanting to go into looking into manually changing the kernel :( [02:17] Thanks for the help anyway. [02:17] figuring out where the incompatibility should be your step #1 [02:18] Yeah, if this was my whole project then I personally would but I'm simply tasked with installing Ubuntu 16.04.2 and that's it sadly. [02:20] sounds pretty ignorant to me [02:21] Yeah, just gotta work with what I have sadly. [02:26] cuddylier: hopefully this can help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [02:27] Thanks [02:27] cuddylier: note that the 16.04 release kernel is supported for the lifetime of 16.04. the 16.04.2 HWE kernel hasn't been supported for a while. if you're going to use the HWE kernels then you should keep up with those -- if you're using the release kernel, you can stick on that kernel for ever.. [02:27] cuddylier: and you can swap between the two with a handful of apt-get install ... commands. they aren't great fun to re-invent every time :) I should really do that again some time and write them into the wiki... [02:28] cuddylier: but hopefully that'll be enough to get you going [02:28] :) === veegee_ is now known as veegee [02:57] it seems that apparmor does not allow unbound to write to another file than /var/log/syslog is this the expected behavior?

[13:03] lotuspsychje, it's an observation that it's really, really weird to just disregard features of near every device linux/ubuntu are used on [13:03] ubuntu is meant to be the UX centric distro [13:03] so to me the above apathy is directly conflicting with that goal [13:03] MJCDawy: and it doesnt fit in this channel, drop it please [13:04] MJCDawy: only ubuntu support questions here [13:04] "how to get mouse support in cli" [13:04] !ops | MJCDawy is offtopic [13:04] MJCDawy is offtopic: Help!

[13:06] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/gpm.8.html [13:06] Cheez, do I need to use something other than bash with that? [13:06] MJCDawy: I told you at the beginning how to get the feature you desired. And literally is the first result when searched for: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=mouse+support+in+tty [13:07] pragmaticenigma, you seem frustrated, but i'm not biting. Have a wonderful day /ignore [13:08] hi guys, I am having issues with skypeforlinux (reinstalled it and restarted the machine). When I click the icon or execute it from the CLI, it fails to start with no error message... any idea what's wrong? [13:08] MJCDawy: i just created a machine and tried it and it seems to work out of the box quite nicely [13:08] Cheez, yeah this looks perfect, thanks heaps. [13:09] Do you/anyone know about pressing down and getting a new line at the end of the command buffer ? [13:09] that too is my only other major usability problem [13:09] chymera: are you using the Snap version or the package from apt? [13:18] Version 8.51.0.92 ... I appears this probelem was also known in other versions https://askubuntu.com/questions/994522/skypeforlinux-8-13-0-2-still-fails-to-start-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts [13:21] chymera: the version number doesn't tell me the source of how you installed Skype. Also, the link you posted is from Ubuntu 14.04 which is really outdated. [13:30] I need help troubleshooting a permissions issue. my box is running ubuntu with a user logikos with userid 1000 .. also group logikos with gid 1000 ... www-data is another user with id 33 [13:31] I have a docker container with www-data user with user id 33 ... and a mounted volume from host .. which has dir's chmod to 775 [13:31] on host www-data is in logikos group and logikos is in www-data group [13:32] in container user 1000 does not exist, so I ssh into it and create a user with id 1000, then put that user in www-data group and put www-data in it's group [13:32] yet a php process running as user www-data can not write in the dir [13:32] within the container [13:33] the container is also ubuntu [13:37] hey how does ubuntu get that custom gnome terminal look? [13:37] what packages does ubuntu include? [13:38] @sajoupa, I am having a hash mismatch from security for bionic [14:17] anyone know to change apache to use uid0 instead of uid33 .. [14:20] hello, I'm using chromium and I need flash plugin, how to install it? [14:20] I've installed 'pepperflashplugin-nonfree' package and restarted chromium - it didn't work [14:27] pomeha, remove that; enable Canonical Partner; apt update; install adobe-flashplugin [14:27] ioria: thanks! [14:27] Hi, I have a large screen. some of my applications, when I start them up seem to know where to position themselves and at what size, and other do not. e.g. chrome will always pile up the browsers on whatever is the main monitor, where as slack and rubymine are in the right spot at the right size. Is this configurable? [14:27] ok [14:28] Anyone know if it's possible to take a folder containing some files and turn it into a mountable .img? [14:28] bane: snap somehow does that [14:28] well, they do the opposite, actually [14:28] xD [14:29] I'm trying to install some drivers on a system that i'm accessing via kvm, unfortunately only allows you the mount isos or image file [14:29] so i'm wondering if i can pacckage the drivers into an iso or img [14:32] bane, mkisofs is pretty easy to use, in my distant recollection [14:32] Habbie, thanks! I'll look into that [14:33] but, if the kvm is not too picky [14:33] you could also just make a tar [14:33] 'mount' that in the kvm [14:33] and unpack from /dev/sdX :) [14:33] hmmm [14:34] that's a great idea [14:34] i'll try that as well [14:35] logikos: Apache should never run as root [14:36] logikos: Also, questions regarding containers should be sent to forums dedicated to the container program that you are using. I.E. Docker based instances should be directed at the Docker community [14:39] logikos: for running inside docker? I think you need to change APACHE_RUN_USER/APACHE_RUN_GROUP in /etc/apache2/envvars [14:39] pragmaticenigma: i understand, and I'm asking in several different channels as there are several different services involved [14:40] assuming your docker container is based on ubuntu (or debian) [14:42] logikos: Please don't cross post... Anything to do with a docker container should be directed towards the developer of the docker container or the docker community. The setup of apache within the docker container will not match the documentation that UBuntu provides for it's packaging of Apache, volunteers here may not provide you with the most accurate information. [14:46] pragmaticenigma: I was posting in #docker until this issue, which seemed to be distro specific so I came here, relax man [14:46] are there any fundamental differences between ubuntu minimal and ubuntu desktop? [14:46] I have found an app called devilspie which I think can help me with my window placement. Has anybody any experience with this? [14:46] meaning: can you install packages on ubuntu minimal to get it up to a standard ubuntu desktop? [14:46] the ppl in #docker told me to ask here lol [14:47] zamba, yes, you can === pankaj__ is now known as nikola_i [14:47] Habbie: is the kernel different? [14:47] logikos: we handle ubuntu issues here === SuperL4g is now known as SuperLag [14:48] zamba, oh, i'm not sure if there are different default kernels for the two, but all kernels are available in apt-get [14:52] bane, genisoimage is the almost identical to mkisofs, and exists in the ubuntu package manager [14:53] so identical they are practically interchangeable [14:55] ah, nice [14:58] gotcha [14:58] thanks guys === argusbr is now known as argus === argus is now known as Guest75147 [15:13] Hi, when I boot my machine I get a grub window that give me 3 options, something like boot normally, boot in rescue, and somethign else. standard sutff. However, if have a usb-a device plugged into the computer that screen freezes. is this something someone can help me with ? [15:14] apt has a nice progress bar [15:15] so why doesn't do-release-upgrade enable it??? [15:15] !discuss | mgedmin [15:15] mgedmin: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [15:17] iffraff: It is best not to boot a machine with removable storage devices attached, unless you're intending to boot from that device [15:19] iffraff: or you can reconfigure your bios not to boot off the usb [15:19] iffraff: it sounds like a bios problem; have you checked the bios setup for boot device priority settings? [15:19] I've a similar problem where my home "server" fails to boot (doesn't even get to the grub menu) if the external usb hdd is plugged in [15:20] unfortunately it seems to be a bios bug because no amount of boot device selection settings fixes it [15:20] no unattended-upgrade reboots for me [15:20] It's surprising how often BIOS has bugs. [15:21] Hi, well, it's not a storage device actually, it's any device, I have a hub with some peripherals on it, no storage though. I feel like I checked bios but I'll check again [15:21] iffraff: tried one of the peripherals without the hub? [15:27] leftyfb: yes actually I have, I think it was the logitech wireless mouse thing. same result [15:27] i'm experiencing extreme stuttering on my ubuntu installation [15:27] it seems like there's a "pulse" every second or so [15:27] iffraff, have you looked for bios updates from the manufacturer? [15:28] zamba, What Ubuntu version? What graphics card and driver? [15:29] hi. can i install Ubuntu 18.04 - 64bit inside SD card? [15:31] B|ack0p, yes, but it will be quite slow [15:31] trying to create a python virtualenv on a live 19.04 desktop. apt install python3-venv --> Package python3-venv is not available, but is referred to by another package. Yes, i have done 'apt update'. What am I missing? [15:32] lordcirth_: thx.. [15:32] lordcirth_: i'm working on that, give me a second [15:32] so sd cards still slow.. [15:32] lordcirth_: I have never done a bios update. frankly scares the crap out of me. how do you do that? [15:32] is anyone able to help me troubleshoot my audio? I really need it and I have no idea what to do.. The ONLY audio I have is those pops you hear when you change the volume. (Strange) It used to be ONLY the speaker test that I could hear (Even stranger). What is going on?! Thanks [15:33] B|ack0p: You could, but it wouldn't perform very well. It would be the same process as making a USB drive. The computer's BIOS/Firmware does need to support booting from SD cards too [15:33] iffraff, firstly, only do it if the manufacturer's update says that it fixes your issue. Secondly, follow the instructions on the manufacturer's page, if they have Linux (or generic) instructions. [15:34] k, but I think I'll use this as a last resort. [15:34] SirScott: did you run sudo apt update? [15:34] iirc you need to do that before apt install anything-at-all will start working in a live session [15:34] pragmaticenigma: well i tried once i couldnt install inside SD card. if it will be very slow then no need to try again.. i was considering to extend my actual space [15:35] has anyone used devilspie for window placement? ( i have two issues :) ) [15:37] mgedmin: yes [15:38] and apt install python3-venv still fails? weird; what apt mirrors are you using? [15:40] mgedmin: https://bpaste.net/show/R38k [15:40] !patience | frib [15:40] frib: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [15:41] SirScott: try "apt install python3-defaults" [15:41] pragmaticenigma, you mean from when I asked the other day? [15:41] SirScott: most likely /etc/apt/sources.list only enables the 'main' component; python3-venv is from universe [15:41] frib: Sorry... I was scrolled up and thought you had repeated [15:42] pragmaticenigma, no, but no problem [15:44] mgedmin: mgedmin: success, thanks a lot! [15:54] wheee another failed upgrade, how fun === nikola_ is now known as nikola_i [16:02] looks like my own fault, in a sense: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ca-certificates/+bug/1843607/comments/2 [16:02]
