[00:09] hi [00:11] can two computers on the same network share files via samba but one computer is connected via wifi (wireless) [00:12] aleksandrdvorkin, yes, it being over wifi shouldn't make a difference normally. [00:12] Though sometimes large corporate wifi routers block peer-to-peer communication. [00:12] ok [00:12] spanks [00:13] and samba should be installed on both systems? [00:15] I believe you'll need cifs-utils on the client and all of samba on the server. [00:34] it's been said "Debian's repository is China old." Ubuntu is a bit better, but I've had to build two or three packages from source code... now the software manager is always telling me to update those. How do I remove that message from appearing, since I want to keep the packages I built rather than replace them with broken ones? [00:35] DarwinElf, you can set a "hold" on those packages [00:36] but be aware this means you're opting out of any security patches. [00:36] where do I do that? [00:37] apt-mark, but i do not know for sure whether this will stop them from being listed as potential update targets on the gui [00:37] oh... [00:37] thanks [00:38] !pinning is another option [00:38] !pinninig [00:39] !pin [00:39] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [00:39] Hello, I have lots of jpg files, and I want to zip each 20 of them in a zip file and name them 001, 002, ... . Do you know how can I do that? [00:40] thanks [00:41] mojtaba, doesn't sound too hard to script [00:41] I just don't know how to limit the number of files to the zip command [00:41] But #bash might help you better [00:41] mojtaba, I would use xargs [00:42] You can set xargs to run one invocation of zip per 20 arguments [00:42] lordcirth I will check xargs. [00:42] Thanks [00:45] putting them on hold worked, thanks. I'll just check for updates [00:47] I have switched recently to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and it is very buggy. [00:47] Very slow, and the selected shortcuts does not work. [00:48] I have set alt+ctrl+c to launch calculator, but it is not working. [00:48] I did not have any problem with that in Unity. [00:52] unless you're meaning to ask support questions there, this is not the right place to share your experiences. [00:55] gnome-shell is surely not in the state we'd all like to see it in, yet, but the desktop team is working on improving this. if you prefer unity for now, you can install it. [00:55] or pick one of the supported !flavors [01:01] I wanted to know if anyone know how to fix it [01:07] mojtaba, Try to run another program than the calculator, or another set of keys for the shortcut, and try your command in the terminal first to be sure it works. === akem__ is now known as akem [01:09] akem In the settings -> Devices -> Keyboard, the second one is Launch Calculator, and I set it to alt+ctrl+c. [01:10] I see but i'm not on Gnome right now, i can't check. [01:11] i just set this on 18.04, and it works here [01:11] maybe you have some gnome-shell extension getting in the way [01:17] tomreyn Do you know how can I check that? [01:19] mojtaba: that's easy. is your systemd journal full of gnome-shell traces? [01:19] tomreyn How can I check it? [01:19] I am new to systemd [01:19] journalctl -eb [01:22] after performing alt+ctrl+c, the last line is Sep 22 21:22:04 think gsd-media-keys[2213]: Could not find application 'org.gnome.Calculator.desktop' [01:22] Which is weird! [01:23] It seems, calculator is an snap application. [01:23] I don't know what to do. [01:24] mojtaba, you can remove the snap and install it from apt. [01:25] lordcirth do you know how can I modify the shortkeys to run the snap version, instead? [01:25] is there a way to stop this log spam? it has been spamming that every 3 seconds for years now -> https://gist.github.com/doug65536/8d4f0102e19a9dada7e056b13e5b3bf1 [01:25] mojtaba, if it lets you specify an executable path, then you can use 'which snap' to get the path, and insert it. [01:26] oh right i have replaced snaps by the proper counterparts. [01:26] lordcirth, when I click on it, it just asks for the key combination. [01:26] mojtaba, it is probably easiest to just install it from apt. [01:27] mojtaba: you can add custom ones on the very bottom, there's a + there [01:27] Ok, thanks === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === akko is now known as stallman [01:29] there's a way to filter out logging of something right? filtering out any line containing "org/ayatana/NotificationItem/multiload" for example [01:30] depends on the ubuntu gnome version, "System Load Indicator" is the culprit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/+bug/1739468 [01:30] Launchpad bug 1739468 in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (Ubuntu) "Repeated [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Item :1.51/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/multiload is already registered" [Low,Confirmed] [01:31] yes, and I love it === stallman is now known as gologolo [01:31] I'll let it spam if I have to [01:32] so it is not logspam.

[02:17] You may not be able to go back sometimes. [02:17] I have only 5.0 kernels installed now.

Current BIOS version I believe but not sure. It's brand new, I just swapped to it a few days ago, which is why I'm suspecting that's the issue, but I'm not sure what settings exist that would cause this probem.

This is with an Aorus X570 Ultra motherboard and generic USB keyboard. I've flipped legacy USB off in BIOS and that made the keyboard not work at all. [04:16] wjlafrance: try navigating the bios with the keyboard, does it happen there, too? [04:16] tomreyn, keyboard works fine in BIOS [04:16] so also for moving up and down on those options?

Using Ctrl+P / Ctrl+N in grub also repeats. [04:20] wjlafrance: have you tried connecting the keyboard to a different usb connector? like swapping from the front of the computer to the back or vice versa? [04:21] tomreyn, I've tried unplugging and plugging it back in but not a different port. I'm looking at the launchpad issue now. I think this started when I upgraded to 19.04. [04:21] wjlafrance: ^^ Also - bios: do you have the "IOMMU Controller" option ? and is it set to enabled ? [04:22] Bashing-om, manual says it's there and defaults to auto. I don't think I've changed it. Should that be on? [04:23] wjlafrance: Can not hurt to try it as "enabled". [04:24] wjlafrance: is the usb keyboard issue also present on the booted system (if you can currently boot to it?) or just at grub?

[04:33] lotuspsychje, no [04:36] Bashing-om, no changes after setting IOMMU = Enabled :(. Looking at GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES now. [04:37] iommu was already aneabled with the auto setting according to your logs [04:38] you can set a different default grub kernel using sudo grub-set-default [04:39] That's good to know. I'm not sure if the other system will boot (messing around with Arch on ZFS alongside Ubuntu) and don't want to get stuck in an unbootable state though. [04:41] Rebooting with new grub preload modules. [05:03] The GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES didn't fix it, and actually made my system unbootable. But we're back. Good thing I keep a recovery stick on hand at all times. :) [05:07] wjlafrance: What is the reason for "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" - could be "causing more troubles than it is solving". [05:08] I don't recall, but that's an argument to the Linux kernel and I don't have issues once booted into Linux, only in the grub menus [05:08] I think I was trying to pass through some GPUs or something [05:11] Might be because my keyboard is plugged into a PCIe USB card rather than the motherboard. Trying that. If not I give up for tonight. Thanks folks. [05:12] lolz [05:12] uhh [05:19] Well, if it ever comes up again Bashing-om, my keyboard was plugged into a USB hub that was plugged into a USB PCIe controller. I moved it to the motherboard's on-board USB ports and the problem went away. Arch didn't boot successfully, but that's a different problem entirely. [05:21] wjlafrance: Well ! Thst explains 148 entries in the log about the keyboard ! [05:22] wjlafrance: By the way - the 5.3 kerenl has added support for the Ryzen GPU .

[05:26] wjlafrance: I have seen some thing in the respect of Ryzen temps monitoring..maybe fixed in 5.3 kernel . [05:27] wjlafrance: the 5.3 kernel is in the proposed 19.10 release. [05:28] I'm looking at running Arch in the mean time but I might just run ubuntu+1. [05:52] Hi all. Which 2 irc clients for ubuntu is good? I mean 1 irc client for: ssl,sasl,proxy,way to connect to onion irc servers + clearnet,and to enter 127.0.0.1 and 9050 etc and a 2nd one that is different from the other,but also for ubuntu,but it will be used for i2p [05:53] It seems I can't bring up my 2 LAN network devices.

[06:37] With irssi...maybe [06:37] irssi is command line and Hexchat is a gui [06:37] Hexchat is fairly straight forward and can do everything you mentioned [06:37] oh.. then irssi isnt for me. but about hexchat,i like.. so i need another instead of irssi [06:38] for the i2p [06:39] Still give irssi a try first before throwing it to the curb, it is configurable, but it's also fairly good right out of the box [06:39] Pidgin is another really good one for out of the box IRC GUI's [06:39] Those three are really my tops [06:39] i dont mind if its abit complicated. but if its to complicated,then nah [06:40] i cant use pidgin,since i cant do the oper command on a server im staff on.. besides i already use pidign as xmpp,not irc [06:41] got it [06:41] I'd def try out Irssi then [06:42] I think Hexchat and Irssi will be your ticket [06:42] i see [06:42] can irssi be used with i2p and connect to i2p servers? === fetr is now known as vetr [06:46] I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm not sure [06:46] I just tried looking and it doesn't seem like it [06:46] aww [06:47] then irssi is out for me [06:47] Hold on one second [06:48] Hexchat I2P addon [06:48] https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat-addons/blob/master/python/privacy/privacy.py [06:49] But how would that addon for hexchat work,if im going to use hexchat to connect to .onion irc servers too with sasl,ssl etc? [06:50] along with clearnet servers as well [06:52] Is there any relationship among the `direct`, `dsync`/`sync`, and `nonblock` conv options of the dd command? [06:52] My experience with I2P isn't as in depth as what it may be for you, but it looks like you may be able to setup Hexchat and irssi to route traffic to a localhost port which proxies it to i2p [06:53] https://www.funtoo.org/Irssi_over_tor [06:53] As for the SASL, SSL, and other features, both support SASL, SSL, and are highly configurable [06:53] as far as IRC clients go, I haven't found too much better than these and they seem to be the most popular around [06:54] I'd be surprised if they we're able to perform what you're asking === fetr_ is now known as vetr [06:59] i might check irssi,but not sure if im going to use it.. but certainly hexchat,but thats just for connecting to .onion irc servers + clearnet,where it has sasl,ssl and other features. [07:00] so then im missing a 2nd irc client for i2p (except pidgin and irssi) [07:15] Any other irc clients that I can use for i2p,except pidgin and irssi?

Is there a way I can reduce the color temperature (make it warmer) only on 1 of the screens. [10:38] Habbie: I did arrow up && enter and it worked, of course it's sudo [10:39] pomeha, could be some cron job looking at apt then [10:39] The "Night Light" works onall the screens [10:39] I need to send data from a machine to a virtual machine on a different computer [10:39] Habbie: good catch, will look at cronjobs! thanks. [10:40] but I don't know how do IP adresses work in a virtual machine [10:40] IP addresses work the same way everywhere [10:41] how can I forward data from the ports in my ubntu machine to the virtual machine? [10:42] *ubuntu [10:42] I had to kill Xorg, and no information in dmesg, Xorg got frozen and xpu crazy, first time i see that :( [10:42] cpu* [10:46] `less /var/log/Xorg.0.log`? [10:47] m2_teknix: imo that's a weird task, why not just configure the colors on monitors using hardware buttons on them so they'd look maximally alike? [10:48] acebrianjuan: the same way you'd forward to non-virtual machine === akem-hp is now known as akemacer === JanC_ is now known as JanC [10:54] pomeha: Have already tried that. One of the monitors is still too bright. Never mind though -_-, will try to manage somehow xD [10:56] m2_teknix: worth a shot https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/05/adjust-external-monitor-brightness-ubuntu [10:57] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LordAmit/Brightness/master/img/BrightnessController.gif [10:58] so try9ing to upgrade znc and getting problems [10:58] pomeha: ok, thank you [11:00] problems... problems everywhere! [11:00] Unable to locate package libperl-dev [11:01] it's in bionic-security repo [11:01] and bionic-updates [11:03] /j #raspberrypi [11:13] yup cant figure it out too tireed [11:42] hello [11:42] What software can I use to unlock a bitlocker volume which is encrypted into Ubuntu? === davic__ is now known as davic [12:04] use bitlocker [12:07] Hi folks [12:10] !info dislocker [12:10] dislocker (source: dislocker): read/write encrypted BitLocker volumes. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.1-3build3 (bionic), package size 19 kB, installed size 70 kB [12:10] Megabyte ^ === lotus|i5 is now known as lotuspsychje [12:33] Hi, I am facing some trouble while trying to upgrade libwayland-dev on Ubuntu - https://pastebin.com/9pCycMhm . How do I resovle this? I tried to uninstall from apt but it tried to remove some 200 packages along with libwayland-dev [12:35] rahulch: don't install packages which were made for other releases, that's how. [12:36] rahulch, i suggest an apt-cache policy libwayland-dev [12:37] ioria: https://pastebin.com/tKxmaVkY [12:37] if you need to build against a newer wayland version then either don't use the distribution provided packages, setup a build in a chroot, lxd guest, VM or upgrade your ubuntu installation [12:38] rahulch, and why are you using a ppa (btw, you can use dpkg -i --force-overwrite blah) [12:39] tomreyn: as far as I can remember I did a aptitude install libwayland-dev, without tweaking the apt sources for a specific version etc [12:39] rahulch, the pkg you're trying to installit's from a ppa [12:39] rahulch: as ioria pointed out, the issue is with the PPA you're using. [12:40] okay, how do I safely uninstall this package and also remove the ppa? [12:40] ppa-purge [12:40] ^that [12:44] I can't even install ppa-purge at this point. It complains about libwayland-dev and tries to upgrade/remvoe it, both of which fails [12:45] rahulch, apt is broken ? [12:45] yeah, that's my biggest gripe about ppa-purge: it's not installed by default and it's hard to install when some ppa messes up your apt real good [12:45] ioria: yes, I cannot install/remove/upgrade anything. Every action gets hung up on libwayland-dev [12:45] removing libwayland-dev might remove a bunch of other -dev packages, but shouldn't break anything [12:46] -dev packages are only needed for building stuff, not for running stuff [12:46] rahulch, dpkg -l| grep libwayland [12:46] mgedmin: it removes a ton of other packages, most of which I am currently using for my projects [12:46] you can install them back later, when you've clean up the rogue ppa [12:46] make a list of the packages that will be removed if you want to make sure you won't forget to reinstall any of them [12:47] ioria: https://pastebin.com/1UpLYWy0 [12:47] mgedmin: yeah, that's my last resort :) [12:47] mgedmin: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-list-and-remove-ppa-repository-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux handy [12:48] rahulch, sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-dev_1.14.0+git201802091202.ef48ff2-1632~ubuntu16.04.1_amd64.deb and good luck [12:51] ioria: https://pastebin.com/mNmKL7hw What did I just do btw? [12:52] rahulch, again dpkg -l| grep libwayland [12:52] you allowed the 'stuck' package to overwrite files which are part of other packages you have installed [12:52] ioria: https://pastebin.com/fV9pg3NC [12:52] tomreyn: ah [12:53] rahulch, yuo need to do the same for libwayland-bin [12:55] ioria: there is no libwayland-bin* in /var/cahce/apt/archives/ [12:56] rahulch, apt-cache policy libwayland-bin [12:57] ioria: https://pastebin.com/rM8BYWE5 [12:57] rahulch, what happend if you try to reinstall libwayland-bin ? apt install --reinstall libwayland-bin [13:01] ioria: https://pastebin.com/KRSprXk7 [13:03] rahulch, libwayland-bin is a dependency of libwayland-dev; but that ppa seems to not provide it [13:04] I'm trying to learn something and for the experiments I've set up a new machine with ubuntu 18.04. And now I see that no man pages get installed "dpkg -L package" lists the man page files, the package is installed, but the files are not on the disk. Any hints? [13:04] rahulch, so, or you try to force overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-bin_1.12.0-1~ubuntu16.04.3_amd64.deb or better, install ppa-purge and purge that ppa [13:04] ioria: okay, will purge the ppa [13:04] how do I get the ppa name? [13:05] tomreyn, hello [13:05] Dislocker is not a GUI [13:05] Also, it requires you to type your password in a plain text file [13:05] You can see how bad this is, right? [13:05] rastos2: how did you install ubuntu? there's a way to tell apt to prune some directories like /usr/share/man/* if you're on some kind of an embedded device with restricted disk space, but the standard installer won't do that [13:06] rahulch, try ppa:wayland.admin/daily-builds [13:06] mgedmin: it is actually a docker container with "FROM ubuntu:18.04" and a few packages such as apachce2 and iproute2 ... [13:07] ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DRqkxN8FkR/ [13:07] Megabyte: depends on file ownership and whether you have encrypted storage for ubuntu, i guess. but i never used dislocker, so YMMV. [13:08] tomreyn, Is it the only solution avaliable? Isn't there anything system-integrated? [13:08] rahulch, that's not good; you maybe nee to rm /var/lib/apt/lists and run sudo apt update [13:08] rastos2: ah, maybe it does something like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReducingDiskFootprint#Drop_unnecessary_files to remove man pages to reduce the size of the container [13:09] rahulch, rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*, i mean [13:09] Megabyte: "apt search bitlocker" also brings up "libbde-utils" on my ubuntu 18.04 system. [13:09] rastos2: you could use https://manpages.ubuntu.com maybe? or the dman script from the bikeshed package that downloads man pages from there and displays them locally? [13:10] Megabyte: there may be more software available (though maybe not in ubuntu, maybe from a third party), i just don't know. [13:10] yeah, tom. That's not very good :/ [13:10] ioria: did that, still same output [13:11] rahulch, ls /var/lib/apt/lists/ [13:11] mgedmin: I can work around it, okay. but I want to understand what's going on. And you are right ./dpkg.cfg.d/excludes says : [13:11] # Drop all man pages [13:11] path-exclude=/usr/share/man/* [13:11] bloody stupid if you ask me. Thanks a lot anyway. [13:12] ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SSMwbHs3Mn/ [13:12] rahulch, sudo apt update [13:12] /usr/share/man is 58 megs on my system; might be worthwhile savings for a docker image [13:12] Megabyte: have you tried decrypting a dmcrypt-luks encrypted device (probably the most common storage encryption on linux systems at this time) from windows? you'd probably also notice that your options are "not very good". [13:13] No, I don't even know what it is [13:13] ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bwr4sJVmvC/ [13:14] rahulch, Open up Software & Updates > Other Software tab > highlight relevant ppa and click the remove button. [13:14] ioria: okay, will do that [13:14] thanks a ton for the help :) [13:15] rahulch, but the point is install ppa-purge [13:15] Megabyte: my point here is: don't expect things to be easy when you're dealing with single platform (read: operating system) proprietary storage encryptions such as bitlocker from a different platform. [13:15] tomreyn, well... [13:15] https://www.m3datarecovery.com/mac-bitlocker/open-bitlocker-encrypted-usb-drive-mac-osx.html [13:15] https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/351904/how-can-i-gain-access-to-the-windows-10-bitlocker-encrypted-drive-on-mac-osx [13:16] ioria: yeah ppa-purge is already installed [13:16] My point being: we can make this easier [13:16] rahulch, so clean your system [13:17] Megabyte: you're welcome to, but please note this channel is just about ubuntu support, not discussion or development. [13:19] hello [13:31] hello, how to figure out what was default protocol version of ssh for package `openssh-server/now 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.10`? [13:31] version 2, I'm pretty sure [13:32] mgedmin: that's an old version of openssh (from Ubuntu 14.04 times), how can you be so sure? [13:33] gut feeling ;) let me actually check https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html [13:33] pomeha: you asked about the protocol version, not the software version, those are separate things. [13:34] SSH protocol version 2 is the de-facto standard since quite some years now. [13:35] mgedmin: thanks! OpenSSH 2.9/2.9p1 (2001-04-29) WARNING: SSH protocol v2 is now the default protocol version [13:37] if you're concerned with compatibility, the set of supported ciphers might be more relevant [13:37] also running a non EOL ubuntu version is relevant. [14:11] Hi Folks, my installation of Chrome doesn't seem to be updating with my my Ubuntu updates. Do I have to do this manually or is there a simple fix? [14:15] en7ropy: chrome is not officially supported, we use the chromium-browser as alternate [14:16] en7ropy: in other words: Chrome is packaged and provided by Google, not by Ubuntu. Google has instructions on adding their Chome repo in [14:17] lotuspsychje, hggdh: Thanks guys. Sounds like I need to manually update Chrome if I want up to date versions [14:18] en7ropy: actually, no. See https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ [14:20]
