[00:05] akemhp_, trying this now [00:05] cyberspectre, you can set the name of the first log as "filename", or it will start only at first new file found. [00:05] @tomreyn - just walked it again, no new messages there [00:08] @tomreyn - I am not sure how long it should take with 4TB, but I expect immediate [00:08] cpare: try creating the partition table using parted, without actually entering it, i.e. do sudo aprted /dev/DISK mkpart gpt [00:08] before I wrote the config it said - /dev/sda1 2048 7814037134 7814035087 3.7T Linux RAID [00:08] cpare: creating a partition table should be immediate and does not dpend on the storage capacity, yes. [00:09] cpare: i don't know which disks you have installed, and which is which [00:09] cpare, not in a qemu vm right? [00:10] i don't think you have WD Red drives in a qemu VM normally [00:10] depending on how you specified the drive, qemu prevents modifying the beginning of the disk. the old option did this, newer option with -drive and -device won't [00:10] could be pass thru [00:10] i.e. specifying whole device [00:11] hmm yes could be usb pass through [00:11] @doug16k - nope, this is not a VM [00:11] thought not [00:12] would be obscure reason for problem writing partition table though, so I gave it a shot [00:13] @ tomreyn - working on the formatting for that command, please hang in there [00:14] it should re3ally be quick [00:19] doug16k: be aware that this disk doesn't have a sata connector, so if you ever have difficulties to access it, just removing the enclosure wont work. [00:21] ya I suspected that. there are also tons of horror stories online. that's partly why I am doing extensive testing on it [00:21] if you're into soldering https://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38257 [00:21] @tomreyn - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RfppYCxgYQ/ [00:23] cpare: so you're saying you have exactly one disk installed, and tried to create a partition table on that, and that failed? then what did you boot from? [00:25] @tomreyn - I have a 120GB SSD for the OS - this was going to be a mirrored set for data [00:25] cpare: and you'e right about mklabel, not mkpart, sorry [00:25] cpare: so i assume you edited the output of what you posted, since parted -l would show all disks [00:26] @tomreyn - Yup, I can add it all if that helps [00:26] which ubuntu version, kernel version is this? [00:26] no need [00:26] @tomreyn - This is on 19.04 [00:27] @tomreyn - clean install today to get ready for a migration from an old 2GB Raid1 to this [00:28] just to make sure: you're aware that 19.04 is not LTS, right? [00:28] @tomreyn - those disks are on a eSATA device thats not connected yet [00:29] LTS=long term support, 19.04 has 9 months support (short support cycle) [00:29] 18.04 is the latest LTS [00:30] @tomreyn - Yeah, I am ok with that, this data also lives in the cloud [00:30] How do I restart the Ubuntu GUI? [00:31] Right now the screen is locked, I click my name, and then the password box pops up for 1/4 second and says authentication error, does not give me a chance to even type the password [00:31] chris349: if you're running Xorg (default): Alt-F2 + "r" + Enter [00:31] @tomreyn - I always start on LTS and then get new Ubuntu envy a year or so later... [00:32] chris349: oh this wont work on a locked screen [00:32] tomreyn, Is there a command to do this from ssh? [00:32] Does the old init 3 + init 5 still work? [00:32] chris349: gnome-shell --replace [00:32] Window manager warning: Unsupported session type [00:33] init 3 and init 5 might still work, not sure.

[00:35] cpare: i see. have you tried smartctl against the disk? [00:35] chris349: default ubuntu 1version .2? [00:36] Also I get this message after I login: System program problem detected Do you want to report this problem now? [00:36] No I do not want to report this, but how can I view the details about this problem? [00:36] chris349: so which ubuntu release is it? [00:36] @tomreyn - All my disks in the event that helps https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dYZFKFY2YF/ I have not tried smartctl, let me look that up [00:36] !smart | cpare [00:36] cpare: smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [00:37] Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS [00:38] cpare: i'd be more interested in the output of sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda and sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda and sudo hdparm -i /dev/hda and generally journalctl -b [00:38] @tomreyn - not part of the default repo? [00:38] cpare: the package name is smartmontools [00:38] thx [00:39] chris349: see if you have a crash log in /var/crash [00:40] chris349: also review your systemd journal for the currently running kernel session - it may have hints on what's failing, too: journalctl -b [00:42] cpare: hdparm *should* report similar output for -i and -I, if -i reports an error this would be good to know. the same goes for smartctl. [00:43] (i.e. point out errors for smartctl too) [00:49] Im getting this message: gdm-password][13222]: AccountsService: Failed to monitor logind session changes: No space left on device [00:50] But I dont actually see any real disk thats full [00:50] @tomreyn - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/B3fmBD8Rrh/ [00:50] I see some such as /dev/loop0 (/snap/core/7270) that are 100% full but that seems normal [00:50] @tomreyn - thats the journal up to where my session started [00:50] and the other stuff [00:52] chris349: so "df -h" and "df -hi" don't have "IUse%" anywhere except for /dev/loop... ? [00:52] tomreyn, all the /dev/sda... have free space [00:53] why is the ubuntu server default runlevel 5 and not 3 [00:55] cpare: wow, i've never seen disks with smart disabled. can you sudo smartctl -s on /dev/sda && sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda [00:55] 'on' is a value to pass to smartctl, an argument to -s [00:57] hays: there are no init-v runlevels anymore, just an emulation of them. [00:57] @tomreyn - sure, but for what it's worth these came up just fine when I first installed them, I was able to mount the default volume without issue and drop files there [00:57] This all started when I removed the partition to build the RAID set [00:58] cpare: and you did so how? [00:58] tomreyn: ok, graphical.target [00:58] hays: servers run no GUI anyways, so that's not an issue. [00:59] @tomreyn - I used the "Disks" GUI [00:59] if one installs X its very likely you'd want to start it manually--not have it come up every reboot [01:00] But since then I have been in a number of tools to see if anythign works [01:00] did you power cycle the system since? [01:00] cpare: ^ [01:00] @tomreyn - unfortunately, yes [01:00] cpare: i would have asked you to do it now if you hadn't ;) [01:00] cpare: so really power cycled, not just rebooted (warm reboot)? [01:01] good point, It may have been a soft reboot - let me do a full cycle now [01:01] back in 5 [01:03] chris349: sorry, i missed your reply. hmm, that's peculiar. did you do a web search on "Failed to monitor logind session changes: No space left on device" yet? [01:04] chris349: and did you actually run "df -hi" AND "df -h"? since they output different information? [01:06] hays: i can think of good reasons to expect the opposite of what you expect. this said, changing the default target isn't exactly difficult. [01:07] @tomreyn - back again [01:08] tomreyn: hmm. what are they? most sysadmins i know wouldn't want KDE burning off cycles calculating a screen sasvef [01:08] @tomreyn - when trying to create a partition using the disks UI, I get the message "Don't know how to create partitions this partition table of type `atari` " [01:08] cpare: don't use the gui if you want to make things work [01:09] @hays - most of us sysadmins use the SETI app or mine bitcoins with the extra CPU [01:09] @tomreyn - gotcha, let me try fdisk again [01:09] cpare: i alsmot feel like asking you to cycle again but on the other hand we should still be able to make it work now. [01:11] cpare: i don't know exactly which commands the "disks" GUI runs and which side effects it may have, that's why i'd prevent using it when diagnosing such issues. [01:12] @tomreyn - gotcha [01:13] cpare: whether or not you'll succeed with fdisk now, it'd be nice to know whether smartctl -x now considersSMART to be enabled (or whether you can enable it with smartctl -s on) and whether hdparm -I now notices a "current" "Configuration". [01:14] @tomreyn - same problem - gathering a pastebin [01:15] @tomreyn - yeah, it's reporting now [01:19] @tomreyn - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mBgb5PDYdj/ [01:19] cpare: i just noticed i missed this earlier while looking at your syslog: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable [01:20] you have those for sda and sdb [01:21] @tomreyn - I am not sure what that means... [01:23] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/ata/libata-core.c#L4772 [01:24] cpare: sata cables can carry 80 wires, but those you have attached to sda and sdb seem to only carry 40, which limits the available throughput, and *may* be a cause for the issues we see here, too. [01:27] @tomreyn - so move them to another SATA port on the mobo? They are standard SATA cables as far as I can tell [01:29] cpare: if you have other sata cables, please try using those other sata cables on sda and sdb. if not, please cross test the sata cable at sda (or sdb) with sdc or sdd === zbenjamin is now known as Guest58749 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:29] @tomreyn - shutting down to swap cables and give it a try again... [01:35] hays: you might want to run automated GUI tests, you might want to have a temrinal server running etc. [01:37] hays: and then X would only start up if both X was installed and there was any application installed calling it. and on a default server installation you wouldn't have such anyways. [01:38] i would think that kde (and its screensaver) wouldn't start unless you had a login manager and that started it, or if you somehow ran startx manually. [01:44] @tomreyn - Resolved! Not a bad cable, but moving to another SATA port got them both working [01:45] cpare: great. andd sorry, i was confed there, too. 40 and 80 wire cables are PATA, those old wide grey things [01:45] but apparently the controller is doing nonsense there [01:46] might need a bios upgrade? [01:47] @tomreyn - checked earlier while doing the rebuild, they let it drop off the supported list with only one new BIOS [01:47] @tomreyn - but that's fine - now I can make this raid and move on [01:47] left side: 7 connectors sata cable, right side: 40-pin PATA (IDE) cable https://s3.amazonaws.com/hs-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/13125605/27_02_new1.jpg [01:47] @tomreyn - appreciate the help [01:48] yw [01:48] @tomreyn - in 375 mins I will have a clean array :) [01:51] @tomreyn - last question - turn off the SMART to get closer to OEM? [01:52] @tomreyn - I am thinking they must turn it off for a reason :) [01:53] chris349: this is what i find about "AccountsService: Failed to monitor logind session changes: No space left on device": https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1726996 [01:53] Launchpad bug 1726996 in gdm3 (Ubuntu) "gdm3 will not unlock session (or switch to a PTY) when out of inotify watches ["No space left on device"]" [Medium,Won't fix] [01:54] chris349: do you also happen to run crashplan or a nother software which uses inotify watches? [01:55] cpare: i really don't know, it's the first time i've seen it disabled. but i never bought WD drives with "NAS-ready" firmware either. [01:55] also it's possible that smartctl just assumed it was disabled due to the bus issues, not sure. [02:05] hi guys [02:05] hi [02:09] yo [02:09] i have question i reinstalled Ubuntu and my laptop was connected to the network with cable but i want to use it through wireless connection how do i enable Wireless adapter [02:11] and no wireless adapter are currently listed [02:11] but i used it via Wireless adapter before the installation [02:52] hi [02:53] can anyone tell me how to enable the Wireless Lan adapter in Ubuntu i installed while computer was connected to the network with a wire [02:54] so now wireless adapter is currently detected [04:48] Gotcha - I'm a first time user of this chat but a long time user of Ubuntu [04:48] thank you for the tip [04:50] x1carbon: You are welcome. Any problems with Ubuntu? [04:51] I have one minor issue - but its not the reason why seek to join this channel [04:52] x1carbon: what [04:52] The issue is on the 6th gen carbon. Reboot doesnt reboot it just powers down. Not a big deal [04:52] I just figured its a funny bug [04:53] x1carbon: sounds like a power manager issue [04:53] ok [04:54] I'm googling power manager for ubuntu [04:56] I'm quite tired, so ill do some research tomorrow. [04:58] Thank you so much to the Ubuntu team! I'm a big Gnome user/enthusiast and everytime I decide to distro hop I always come back to Gnome especially for web development. Thanks a lot peeps!!! [04:58] Good night [05:50] hi guys anyone know any nice solution for sending a command to my X ubuntu servers ? likee ./script "seervers" uptime [06:06] <_KaszpiR_> python fabric, ansible [06:10] How do I move the controls - max/min/close from right to left? [06:11] <_KaszpiR_> switch to xbuntu or just install xfce4 ;D [06:11] They are on the right there as well [06:12] viju, Maybe with gnome-tweaks [06:14] <_KaszpiR_> Window Manager [06:14] <_KaszpiR_> in Style tab, there is button layout editor [06:14] <_KaszpiR_> at least under xfce [06:16] <_KaszpiR_> http://ubuntuguide.net/move-minimizemaximizeclose-buttons-to-right-in-ubuntu-10-10maverick [06:18] So these are specific to desktop environments? I changed click behaviour in ubuntu DE and it worked in xfce and mate as well. [07:51] viju: in unity? [07:51] nevermind [07:56] Whatever is used in matey, but I need it work across every desktop environment. [07:57] dconf-editor shows a setting for button layout, it didn't change anything. Not sure if I have to restart [07:57] viju: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1985545 [07:57] ubuntu mate* [08:00] I tried something else because mateconftool wasn't available - mate-control. And it worked [08:01] mate tweak. I guess I'll have to use gnome tweak as someone suggested above for it to work in the other desktop environment [08:06] Thanks!! [08:07] viju: no problem [09:55] Hi, anyone knows if Ubuntu 19.04 now supports "zstd" compression for root dataset (@) under BTRFS ? [09:59] I were using lzo for / and /home on 18.10 so I wonder if I can enable zstd [10:12] I think zstd BTRFS support in GRUB was added before GRUB version 2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 19.04.. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=386128648606a3aa6ae7108d1c9af52258202279 === im0nde_ is now known as im0nde1 [10:48] I got response from btrfs people that "GRUB 2.04 is needed for zstd" and Ubuntu 19.04 has 2.02 GRUB, I don't see anything related in Debian patches, so.. I guess no support in Ubuntu 19.04 for zstd compressed BTRFS root. [10:59] if you feel comfortable doing it you could download nikolam https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tag/?h=grub-2.04 [11:03] hello. How do i get nvidia-418.56 installed on (k)ubuntu 18 LTS? It's not listed in the driver menu [11:04] I've added ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa, but apt search says: [11:04] xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-418/bionic 430.50-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64: Transitional package for xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-430 [11:05] Bundestrojaner, I see grub 2.04 is in both Debian testing and Ubuntu+1 so I guess it will land. I don't think me maintaining my own GRUB is in line with Ubuntu support policies. [11:05] sorry Bundestrojaner [11:05] it was for SimonNL [11:05] nikolam: ^^ [11:06] ok [11:07] Bundestrojaner, I always use 'synaptic' to search throug packages. Try installing it first. As I understand only official in-distribution nvidi adrivers are supported, other then that, one can also get nvidia driver from Nvidia web site. [11:08] I used to check on Nvidia site what driver were supported for my card and then choose official Nvidia driver distribution from ubuntu, with the same version number [11:08] nikolam: i've always installed nvidia drivers from their web site when i used Gentoo, but i always read this is strongly not recommended in (K)ubuntu [11:09] Bundestrojaner: doesn't driver manager offer that package [11:09] good morning every one [11:09] about my case x11vnc i have fix it [11:10] good news [11:10] it was wrong ip, firewall rule (linux) [11:10] I need exactly 418.56 for DCS World in Proton, no idea why but it crashes all the time with other versions [11:10] SimonNL: 16LTS offered 418.56 in driver manager, 18LTS does not :( [11:11] sp. thanks for ,, [11:12] https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa <= it's there so it should be available in synaptic [11:12] Bundestrojaner, I am on AMD graphics now, they are supposed to have performant open source drivers included, but I didn't manage to make Steam work fine yet [11:12] Bundestrojaner: ^ [11:13] Bundestrojaner, where do you chack for manuals about Steam/gaming on Ubuntu? [11:13] nikolam: what is your problem with steam? the linux-client of steam itself or running windows games with proton? [11:14] I think running games with proton.. [11:15] i just wonder if there is a way to control linux by voice such as windows speech or google assistance in mobiles etc.. [11:16] vasely, Linux is a kernel part. Distributions are supposed to answer that, sure. [11:17] what's the best password manager for ubuntu? [11:18] kappa1, I use password-protected Firefox to remember passwords. It's multiplatform and works. (Even real protection is if you encrypt your home DIR by default). [11:19] SimonNL: what's the correct packet name for the driver itself? your link says nvidia-graphics-drivers-418 but i can't find it in apt search. [11:19] Bundestrojaner, I wonder if this is useful for protom/Steam on Ubuntu: https://www.protondb.com/ [11:19] nikolam: https://www.protondb.com/ is like winehq for proton [11:20] I also woudl like to see Steam installed somewhere else but in /home user folder [11:20] why? you can install the games somewhere else, just tell steam do so in the install menu [11:21] at least bunch of it's files (even I moved storage to some mounted dataset on other drive) [11:21] I were doing backup of user folder yesterday and I was not happy of space it uses unde home dir, when it has separate volume mounted just for Steam already [11:23] Bundestrojaner: search for any nvidia then see if it show up [11:23] Bundestrojaner, I think also Ubuntu kept 32-bit packages, just to comply with Steam requirements.. when Steam said it would quit supporting Ubuntu [11:25] nikolam: I'm playing around with wine since ~2005, when it was rare to get anything working at all. The progress wine made in the last ~4 years is really awesome. Most things just work out of the box these days and same goes for steam. [11:25] You also should install protontricks which is winetricks for steam proton - you can install needed libs with it [11:26] Bundestrojaner, ^^ D [11:27] protontricks github says it's not maintained anymore [11:28] SimonNL: that's what i said at the beginning: [11:28] nvidia-driver-418/bionic 430.50-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 Transitional package for nvidia-driver-430 [11:28] The name says 418, the description says 430 and if you install it, you get 430 [11:28] nikolam: there's also a link to a maintained fork if i remember correctly ;) [11:28] nikolam: https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks [11:29] thanks Bundestrojaner [11:30] nikolam: i only needed protontricks for DCS world, even things like TES: Skyrim work out of the box in steam these days... [11:31] Bundestrojaner, I would report a bug to proton [11:34] nikolam: what exactly is the problem? slow? crashes? [11:35] Bundestrojaner, I got fresh ssd install of everything so would try again. I was under impression it was something about graphics drivers, e.g. older game not recognizing graphics nicely in proton === xeon is now known as bqq [11:43] just out of curiosity, how do i install root certificate for letsencrypt?

[12:55] the server has very high bandwidth [12:55] the mine is unstable, ask tomreyn for details ahah ;) [12:57] Hi, can I ask for iptables help here? === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [13:00] Hi, im using disklocker to mount a windows bitlocker drive. Does this actually decrypt the drive? Do I have to encrypt the drive again when I get back into windows (dual boot) windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04? [13:02] I have a server (ie: 35.23.1.2) and another server connected to it using microsocks (https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks) with a estabilished remote port forwarding to 35.23.1.2:12000 [13:02] If I set firefox browser on the server with proxy config to 127.0.0.1:12000 I can use the connection provided by one device running microsocks. [13:02] Now what I need is a iptables rule where I can set firefox on my computer to 35.23.1.2:12000 and use the connection from the device, but I wasnt able to create a correct rule for this scenario, can anyone help? FYI, ip forwarding is set to 1 on server and firewall rule open to connect to 12000 [13:06] hola [13:06] Hey, for some reason i have no sound on speakers until i plug my headset; then unplug it...i tried to check nothing was muted and volume level but it didn't worked, any idea? [13:06] how to install qt5? not zillions of qts [13:07] with headers for sure [13:07] (checked with alsamixer) [13:18] Hi, im using disklocker to mount a windows bitlocker drive. Does this actually decrypt the drive? Do I have to encrypt the drive again when I get back into windows (dual boot) windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04? [13:31] vadique: which ubuntu version are you running, what's your goal in installing qt5? [13:31] tomreyn, to build some stuff, 19.04 [13:32] "to build some stuff", you may need C headers? [13:35] with headers for sure [13:36] vadique, https://vitux.com/compiling-your-first-qt-program-in-ubuntu/ This should help you. [13:37] yes, this looks good. you'll want qt5-default [13:38] i dont think you strictly need qtcreator [13:38] (nor strictly the docs and examples packages) [13:39] I think qtcreator has qtdesigner inside or is it another package? Anyway it is a very usefull tool to create UIs visually. [13:40] it's certainly useful if you want to design a GUI or want an IDE. [13:40] Yep. [13:42] akemhp, came in late to the conversation, Yes you really only need qtcreator [13:47] morning. im working in upgrade a system (zimbra) from ubuntu 10 ---> to ubuntu 16. and need to install some packages but i got https://pastebin.com/MtExE8Au. any help to fix this? [13:48] badpixel: ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx? are you aware how old this is? you really should just reinstall [13:48] i cant reinstall. this mi client server mail. need to move to new one. [13:49] but need some packages to move, and cant install packages. and i know how old this, 10 years.... [13:50] i need to be able to install packages then move to 14, then upgrade and new move to 16 [13:51] do other packages download fine? [13:51] using apt, that is [13:52] I have a server (ie: 35.23.1.2) and another server connected to it using microsocks (https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks) with a estabilished remote port forwarding to 35.23.1.2:12000 [13:52] If I set firefox browser on the server with proxy config to 127.0.0.1:12000 I can use the connection provided by one device running microsocks. [13:52] Now what I need is a iptables rule where I can set firefox on my computer to 35.23.1.2:12000 and use the connection from the device, but I wasnt able to create a correct rule for this scenario, can anyone help? FYI, ip forwarding is set to 1 on server and firewall rule open to connect to 12000 [13:53] DeafGoose: it's not clear what you mean by "set firefox on my computer to 35.23.1.2:12000" [13:53] you can configure firefox to use a socks proxy in preferences [13:53] tom, I want to forward all incoming requests to 35.23.1.2:12000 -> device connected via microsocks [13:54] all requests incoming from where to where? [13:54] so I set proxy config on my browser, it will go to my server, but forward to the device connected via microsocks [13:54] and where do you want to filter? [13:54] incoming to server [13:54] myself (firefox) -> 35.23.1.2:12000 -> (iptables) -> device connected to server via microsocks [13:55] tomreyn: is fine. but ims till stuck here https://pastebin.com/yiuLBZWR [13:55] fyi this device is connected to server on 12000 [13:55] on server 35.23.1.2, I can do a curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:12000 http://luminati.io/myip.json [13:55] and it will give me the device ip [13:56] DeafGoose: maybe draw some ascii art, i'm not getting the architecture, yet, and thius may be the same for others. and make sure this is actually an ubuntu support question. [13:56] DeafGoose: networking can also be discussed in ##networking [13:56] yea, I asked if anyone had iptables knowledge, I have looked everywhere but cant find [13:58] badpixel: please use paste.ubuntu.com or termbin.com or paste.linux.community or paste.debian.net in the future, thanks. [14:00] badpixel: and apt-get -f install returns what? [14:01] badpixel: maybe let's start with this: sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -qqy update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 and this: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL) [14:10] I got that qt5, thanks [14:13] hello , i have strange issue as x11vnc now working well but there is strange ip trying all time to access [14:13] the ip is 185.153.198.197 [14:14] and i can only stop him if i make waiting for accept option ( this is not useful for me ) [14:15] basically what i brought up yesterday: you don't expose vnc to the internet [14:15] as i need to access my pc while i'm not in same location so will not be able to press accept connection so what i should do ? [14:15] again, tunnel through ssh or, better, vpn [14:18] at the very least, use a non standard port, but even then you're still doing it unencrypted and will still get the occasional prompts. [14:19] also don't allow FROM ANY but just the potential source ip addresses. [14:21] tomreyn: super thanks [14:22] tomreyn: here we go https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Sv4Wx6BRsy/ [14:23] hello. I must have damaged something X-related while trying several nvidia-drivers including manual installation of one downloaded from nvidia page. [14:23] I've now removed anything nvidia-related (apt purge nvidia* nvidia-settings) and use the nuveau-driver [14:23] I land at Terminal1 when i boot the system, startx starts kde. [14:23] badpixel: what about the other outputs? [14:24] pasting, 1 min [14:24] If i use the driver manager to install an nvidia-driver, i also land in terminal1 and startx also fails. [14:24] I don't see anything usefull in xorg0.log and syslog, so i have no idea where to begin. [14:28] Bundestrojaner: begin with the output of lsb_release -ds [14:28] tomreyn: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS [14:28] (it's Kubuntu btw) [14:29] Bundestrojaner: where is this xorg0.log you were looking at? [14:29] tomreyn: /var/log [14:29] tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kh5Rs8Y5YB/ [14:30] Bundestrojaner: that's probably not the one X is logging to now [14:30] Bundestrojaner: the real one should be in your home directory. as well as in your systemd journal [14:30] Bundestrojaner: journalctl -eb [14:31] badpixel: hmm, nothing returned? i guess your system is too old for those commands to work then. can you manually post the output of these? [14:32] Bundestrojaner: were you manually typing these commands, can you not just copy and paste? [14:33] (i'm asking because there's a typo in what you posted) [14:34] tomreyn: i'm usually copying, i've typed /var/log [14:34] Bundestrojaner: please do *not* run and report the output manually if you have no way to copy and paste. that's too much effort to be worth it. [14:35] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kh5Rs8Y5YB/ says "apt-cachepolicy" which is missing a space character. which makes me think you were not able to copy and paste this. [14:35] tomreyn: copy/past currently works since startx got kde running with nuveau. [14:35] Needing to Reboot might change that [14:36] badpixel: sorry, i mixed you up with badpixel there [14:37] tomreyn: i don't understand the output of journalctl -eb. The only paths there are: [14:37] Sep 21 16:29:51 Pinguin org.kde.ActivityManager[1810]: Creating the cache for: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" [14:37] Sep 21 16:29:51 Pinguin org.kde.ActivityManager[1810]: ResourceScoreUpdated: "6bacee3c-411d-44c3-9d20-a5605a2cdf36" "org.kde.kate" "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" [14:37] Bundestrojaner: please ignore what i said about copy/paste and manually typing commands. [14:38] badpixel: were you manually typing these commands, can you not just copy and paste? please do *not* run and report the output manually if you have no way to copy and paste. that's too much effort to be worth it. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kh5Rs8Y5YB/ says "apt-cachepolicy" which is missing a space character. which makes me think you were not able to copy and paste this? [14:38] Bundestrojaner: and "16:29:51" was "just now"? [14:39] Bundestrojaner: note i don't know your time zone, though i guess your nickname suggestes UTC+02 [14:40] tomreyn: this was 10 min ago [14:40] Bundestrojaner: okay, so you last started X 10 minutes ago? [14:41] i suggest you install "kubuntu-desktop" (or at least check which relevant packages you are missing there and manually install those) [14:41] tomreyn: not possible, i've entered here at 16:14 [14:41] So, when VLC pops up a configuration window [14:41] when I drag the configuration window, it's causing the main window in the background to be dragged around with it? [14:41] wtf [14:42] Bundestrojaner: also make sure there is no leftover xorg.conf anywhere below (so also in subdirectories of) /etc/X11/ [14:42] tomreyn: "apt install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop" ? [14:42] Bundestrojaner: you can do so, yes. [14:43] Bundestrojaner: sudo find /etc -iname 'xorg.conf' 2>/dev/null [14:43] tomreyn: there's only xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original, shall i delete it? [14:44] Bundestrojaner: no need, no. [14:45] Bundestrojaner: after reinstalling kubuntu-desktop, reboot and come back here if the issue persists, sharing journalctl -b [14:46] tomreyn: thx for your help, i'll try it [14:54] badpixel: did you give up, yet? [15:02] tomreyn: again in tty1 after reboot. first time startx printed "timeout in locking authority file /home/tux/.Xauthority", than the screen went black for minutes. [15:02] After a long time, "no protocol specified" was written all over the screen, followed by "xinit:giving up", xinit: unable to connect to X server: ressource temporarely unavailable" [15:02] second startx worked [15:15] tomreyn: no sir. sorry. im still working on it. but i "fix" this installing packages manually. i have time to finish, before company open again.... about manually copy, yes, since ptpb has ended i dont know how to output my shell to paste bin os similar service. sorry my english sir... not that good lmao [15:17] tomreyn: in journalctl -b, nothing happened around the first (not working) startx... [15:34] Bundestrojaner: you mention startx, is this how you're used to starting kubuntu? do you not have sddm installed? [15:36] so im running elementry no ubunutu but was wonering a good widget manager to try [15:37] !elementary | pushEject [15:37] pushEject: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. [15:37] linux ppl are so damn tribal [15:37] badpixel: what is "ptpb"? usually, one of the easiest way to share output is using echo 'hello world' | nc termbin.com 9999 (replace "echo 'hello world'" by the commands whose output you want to show) [15:39] pushEject: there is also ##linux if you're looking for a non distribution specific channel. [15:39] tomreyn: no, i use startx because i get to tty1 after booting. Before I've messed something up while trying different nvidia drivers, the system booted to kde login [15:39] Good morning/afternoon, I have a question about tracker-miner-fs in Ubuntu 19.04 that i cant seem to answer with googling. [15:39] other than that, unless you have ubuntu specific questions, please pushEject [15:40] ty [15:40] Bundestrojaner: okay, feel free to share journalctl -b, or keep looking for a cause on your own. [15:41] badpixel: run all apt-get commands with -o 'Debug::Acquire::http=1' -o 'Debug::Acquire::https=1' -o 'Debug::Acquire::ftp=1' to identify the cause for those error message you see [15:41] tomreyn: all of it? a specific sequence? [15:42] you can make it an alias, like so: alias aptdebug="apt-get -o 'Debug::Acquire::http=1' -o 'Debug::Acquire::https=1' -o 'Debug::Acquire::ftp=1'" [15:43] Bundestrojaner: i'm fine with all of it. [15:44] I'm trying to update my BIOS for Gigabyte ga-970a-ds3 rev 1.1. I've formatted my USB with FAT32 in ubuntu and placed the update files in it. When I run Q-flash the USB is found as floppy A but there are no files in it. [15:44] Siamaster: /join ##hardware [15:45] thanks! [15:45] you can share "lsblk" here, though, if you want to have soeone check whether you did partitioning the way you wanted. [15:46] Good morning/afternoon, I have a question about tracker-miner-fs in Ubuntu 19.04 that i cant seem to answer with googling. -How can i stop this from running 100% of the time? I'm trying to extend my battery life and I would like to index only once on startup [15:49] x1carbon: it's a daemon, an an indexer, the process is probably meant to be kept running and work autonomously (according to its configuration) [15:49] tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CyNwXHmtQd/ [15:49] *and an indexer [15:50] Bundestrojaner: looking, this will take some minutes. [15:50] tomreyn what option should I run lsblk with? [15:50] tomreyn: thx! [15:50] Gotcha tomreyn - sounds like I'm stuck with it eh? [15:50] when I run it without any options there doesn't seem to be enough info [15:51]
