[00:00] <ryuo> wrong command?
[00:03] <sarnold> ryuo: heh, it send me a privmsg to tell me it doesn't know the package name
[00:03] <sarnold> ryuo: and it took me a while to figure out why it doesn't know the package and why I coul;dn';t find the package, even though apt-file knows about it: it's in multiverse! https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/manpages-posix
[00:04] <ryuo> no wonder. it's not even in this universe. ;)
[00:04] <sarnold> ryuo: I am a bit surprised that it's taken me until today to find out that my new machine is missing the posix manpages!

[00:31] <texla> Ubuntu 18.04.3 Synaptic package manager will run in gnome xorg but not in gnome
[00:32] <lotuspsychje> texla: you mean not in gnome-wayland
[00:34] <texla> lotuspsychje, My login script only says gnome,gnome classic,gnome xorg do not know which is wayland
[00:34] <lotuspsychje> texla: on 18.04, ubuntu on xorg is default, ubuntu on wayland the users choice
[00:35] <lotuspsychje> texla: synpatic on wayland not working is a known bug
[00:35] <texla> lotuspsychje, should not it run on gnome even if it is wayland
[00:36] <texla> lotuspsychje, Okay thanks for the info
[01:18] <beatleboy07>  Can anyone shed light on this: Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit -.mount is masked.
[01:18] <beatleboy07> I'm not sure what unit -.mount is.
[01:21] <lotuspsychje> beatleboy07: its always nice if you also mention the whole story, details, ubuntu version, kernel, what are you trying to do? so volunteers can try to debug you a better way
[01:22] <beatleboy07> That comes from an apt update. I'm running UbuntuStudio 19.04.
[01:22] <lotuspsychje> beatleboy07: could you pastebin your whole apt output please?
[01:25] <beatleboy07> https://pastebin.com/Fj8BERuF
[01:25] <beatleboy07> It seems to be unimportant to the entire process. But I'm having an error with apt upgrade that makes me wonder if it's connected.
[01:25] <lotuspsychje> beatleboy07: does, sudo apt full-upgrade influence this?
[01:27] <sarnold> what the heck is causing that..
[01:28] <beatleboy07> Here's another paste for full-upgrade: https://pastebin.com/cjivQWaR
[01:30] <lotuspsychje> !info bluez disco
[01:31] <lotuspsychje> beatleboy07: that seems weird indeed..
[01:31] <lotuspsychje> Eickmeyer: did you see this behaviour on studio before ? ^
[01:32] <Eickmeyer> lotuspsychje: Hang on...
[01:32] <beatleboy07> It is. I can't tell where the issue is.
[01:32] <beatleboy07> I'd reboot, but I'm currently moving 120GB of data.
[01:33] <Eickmeyer> lotuspsychje, beatleboy07: Never seen that before. Not Studio-specifically though.
[01:34] <Eickmeyer> *specific
[01:34] <lotuspsychje> beatleboy07: how about a bluez purge & reinstall?
[01:35] <beatleboy07> lotuspsychje, I'll give it a try.
[01:35] <sarnold> what would cause -.mount to be masked?
[01:35] <sarnold> what consequences does that have?
[01:35] <beatleboy07> sarnold, I wonder the same thing. I can't do a systemctl unmask -.mount
[01:38] <beatleboy07> I was able to purge bluez, but when trying to install, I get the same dpkg error that I had in the previous pastebin.
[01:38] <sarnold> beatleboy07: I'm not a systemd expert but I *think* masking is intended to be an operation only the sysadmin ever does, and does via making symlinks
[01:39] <sarnold> oh, there *is* an unmask. sorry.
[01:39] <sarnold> beatleboy07: what error do you get when you try to unmask it?
[01:40] <beatleboy07> sarnold, I get a systemctl: invalid option -- '.'
[01:42] <beatleboy07> systemctl: invalid option -- '.'
[01:42] <beatleboy07> Hint: to specify units starting with a dash, use "--":
[01:42] <beatleboy07>       systemctl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND} -- -.mount ...
[01:42] <sarnold> beatleboy07: ah, try systemctl unmask -- -.mount
[01:42] <beatleboy07> The hint hasn't been helpful.
[01:42] <sarnold> such a stupid design
[01:42] <beatleboy07> Oh weird.
[01:42] <sarnold> why did they ever make such an obnoxious choice to replace all the / chars with -
[01:43] <beatleboy07> sarnold, that didn
[01:44] <beatleboy07> sarnold, that didn't give me an error when I sent the systemctl command, but apt update gives me the unit is masked message again.
[01:44] <sarnold> beatleboy07: weird
[01:44] <sarnold> beatleboy07: is there anything in journalctl -e that looks relevant?
[01:45] <beatleboy07> Oct 03 18:45:00 ckdUbuntuStudio audit[25324]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="p
[01:45] <beatleboy07> lines 979-1001/1001 (END)
[01:45] <beatleboy07> That message over and over.
[01:46] <beatleboy07> So weird.
[01:46] <beatleboy07> I can't install mumble because of this.
[01:47] <sarnold> man I hate journalctl
[01:48] <sarnold> beatleboy07: can you pastebin the output of journalctl | grep DENIED | tail -20  ?
[01:48] <sarnold> beatleboy07: that'll show us the last 20 apparmor DENIED messages
[01:50] <beatleboy07> sarnold, it looks odd to me: https://pastebin.com/fcxZ3aQc
[01:51] <beatleboy07> Looks like discord is involved.
[01:51] <sarnold> beatleboy07: cool, thanks. that's *gross* but it's not probably not the cause of this issue
[01:53] <sarnold> beatleboy07: how about systemctl status -- -.mount  ?
[01:55] <beatleboy07> https://pastebin.com/Aki3knAp
[01:56] <beatleboy07> sarnold, It still is masked. I'm not sure what -.mount is.
[01:57] <sarnold> beatleboy07: systemd makes .mount units for all the mountpoints on the system, I think so different services can depend upon them and only be started after the corresponding filesystem has been mounted
[01:57] <sarnold> beatleboy07: this represents the root filesystem
[01:57] <sarnold> beatleboy07: I'm not sure what it would mean to mask a mount unit -- does that prevent systemd from trying to mount the filesystem? or unmount the filesystem? does it *do* anything? I don't know :(
[01:58] <beatleboy07> I feel like this may have started when I manually mounted other drives.
[01:58] <beatleboy07> But I'm not certain.
[01:58] <beatleboy07> This computer has three physical drives.
[02:02] <sarnold> beatleboy07: what's your /etc/fstab look like?
[02:02] <sarnold> (double-check there's no passwords in the thing before pastebinning it)
[02:03] <beatleboy07> Yeah, it looks okay to me. I'm not exactly sure if the options are correct.
[02:04] <beatleboy07> I don't think there are issues posting my UUID right?
[02:05] <sarnold> none that I know of
[02:06] <beatleboy07> https://pastebin.com/mVHr1RUs
[02:06] <beatleboy07> Looks normal to me I think.
[02:09] <sarnold> hmm, yeah, looks pretty similar to my bionic system http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/P8Snxz53gP/ -- the efi entry looks different from my disco system, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5DmFx36GVk/ but that's .. just a weird system all around
[02:10] <k_sze> I'm trying to re-partition a USB drive but gnome-disks says it's not mounted.
[02:11] <sarnold> beatleboy07: sorry, I've got to take off. I'm not sure what to suggest next.
[02:12] <sarnold> beatleboy07: if you';ve got the time and inclination it'd be nice if you could report that huge pile of discord DENIED messages
[02:12] <beatleboy07> k_sze, I'm not sure about gnome-disks. I recommend gparted.
[02:12] <beatleboy07> Your drive should not be mounted if you want to partition it.
[02:12] <sarnold> beatleboy07: but I don't think that'll help you immediately, so no worries if you just want to focus on the problem at hand
[02:13] <sarnold> beatleboy07: good luck :) and if you fix this, I'd be curious to hear how :)
[02:13] <beatleboy07> sarnold, report that where? Discord developers?
[02:14] <sarnold> beatleboy07: I was thinking snap developers, but maybe discord folks would like to know their snap isn't working quite right
[02:14] <beatleboy07> Seems like a good idea
[02:14] <sarnold> htey may not even know they have a snap :) heh
[02:14] <beatleboy07> Yeah, the snaps are wild.
[02:35] <tomreyn> k_sze: are you still looking for help with repartitioning the usb storage?
[02:35] <k_sze> tomreyn, it's fine. gnome-disks magically worked after I unmounted and replugged the USB disk. weird.
[02:36] <tomreyn> if it was previously mounted this would explain it.
[05:40] <friendlyGoat> hello i have a little thing i need help with, its small but i have no idea how to really deal with it. a long time ago a command accidentally made a folder just named " in my / directory with nothing in it. i have no idea how to delete it since no matter what i cant get my terminal to realize i really want to delete "
[05:41] <dax> rm -r \"

[07:26] <erle-> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1161494/npm-version-is-not-compatible-with-node-js-version
[07:26] <erle-> Who did this and why is this persisting to 19.10?
[07:34] <geirha> npm shouldn't have been a separate apt package in the first place
[07:34] <geirha> but node and npm from apt has always been a mess. When I work with node I just grab a prebuilt tarball from nodejs.org, and deploy it in docker
[07:37] <erle-> geirha, this literally makes me sad
[07:59] <fritzroy15> hello, I have an ec2 ubuntu 18.04 instance, that I installed the graphical interface on and confirmed gdm is working; however, I can figure out how to enable remote graphical access from my own ubuntu 18.04 instance; do I use rdp? vnc?
[08:09] <rory> fritzroy15: if you just need to run a single application, you can connect via ssh using "ssh -X" option, then run the application command e.g. "firefox" and it will display on your local machine.
[08:09] <rory> fritzroy15: others may know about full remote-desktop solutions.
[08:10] <rory> fritzroy15: for the former, "X11Forwarding yes" must specified in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[08:10] <rory> (on the instance)
[08:17] <ztychr> Whats the default lock screen un ubuntu 18.04? Not login screen, but the lockscreen. I would like to restore it to default
[08:22] <fritzroy15> rory doesn't seem to work
[08:22] <fritzroy15> i've enable X11Forwarding yes on both client and host
[08:24] <geirha> fritzroy15: what does this output, then?   ssh -X user@host xeyes
[08:25] <rory> fritzroy15: you might have to "sudo service ssh restart" on the host after changing the setting, not sure
[08:25] <rory> ssh or sshd
[08:27] <rory> ztychr: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity-greeter
[08:28] <rory> ztychr: you should be asked to select default display manager and you should select lightdm
[08:28] <Gargoyle> fritzroy15: After some exploration and experimentation with vnc to remote desktop to a Mac... Performance was so bad I eventually ended up using Google Remote Desktop.
[08:28] <rory> ztychr: possibly more info here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1044793/how-to-change-the-ubuntu-18-04-default-greeter
[08:32] <ztychr> rory: Thanks. But I don't want to change greeter. I'm good with gdm. Just wondered what the default lockscreen was. Maybe something in /usr/share/backgrounds? Can't remember or find the answer from google.
[08:37] <Gargoyle> ztychr: Do a fresh install in a VM
[08:37] <Gargoyle> Or boot a liveCD
[08:42] <tomreyn> ztychr: it's integrated into gnome-shell, i think.
[09:49] <ztychr> Might have to yeah, thanks anyway.
[11:24] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:04] <Edoctoor> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 18.04.3 and every time I do a # apt update, #apt upgrade and reboot; ... My grub defaults to a pure linux grub and ignores that I have a duel booting PC... I hope one day it gets fixed so I don't have to type # os-prober, # upgrade-grub every time. My question is, "Is there a better way?" or am I doing it the right way?
[12:05] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: yeah, type "ls -l /etc/grub.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste
[12:08] <Edoctoor> I am not having a grub issue... now... because over much frustration, and only getting one boot after the ubuntu install .. because the first thing i do is apt upgrade then the org grub is gone... then repeat install over and over until I discovered os-prober , and upgrade-grub
[12:08] <Edoctoor> but what you said, is good to know
[12:09] <Edoctoor> how do I install termbin or do I have to create an account
[12:09] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: no, just run the command it uses netcat (nc)
[12:09] <Edoctoor> brb,, maybe I'll learn something, thanks
[12:10] <EriC^^> um
[12:10] <EriC^^> you need to paste the results so i can troubleshoot
[12:11] <Edoctoor> :~# "ls -l /etc/grub.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999"
[12:11] <Edoctoor> bash: ls -l /etc/grub.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999: No such file or directory
[12:11] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: without the quotes
[12:11] <Edoctoor> thats what happened, and the reason I ask what do I need to install
[12:11] <Edoctoor> duh
[12:12] <adac> What do I have to install so I can use this cifs parameter sec=ntlm  in Ubuntu 18.04. For 16.04 this didn't seem an issue worked out of the box.
[12:14] <Edoctoor> EriC^^, Thanks that worked,, happy dance, I have a copy of my grub ... so I can repair it at the boot up command line if it ever happens again
[12:14] <Edoctoor> what else can you teach me
[12:15] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: what? nothing you said made sense
[12:16] <Edoctoor> You solved my need for os-prober
[12:16] <Edoctoor> happy  dance
[12:16] <nsh> why does ubuntu 18.0 have such an old version of libpcap?
[12:16] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: no i didn't, i only told you to list files of a directory
[12:16] <nsh> libpcap0.8:amd64
[12:17] <Edoctoor> that solved my issue
[12:17] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: i was trying to see if os-prober is found in grub.d and it's +x'd that might be why whenever you install a package that has to update grub, you end up with no windows
[12:17] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: that doesn't make sense at all
[12:17] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: do you want to solve your issue or happy dance around it? yes/no
[12:20] <Edoctoor> It a very long story, can I tell you in a pm because we are talking about two very different issues. You want to fix my grub which is perfect; however, I want ubuntu to include the command os-prober when it creates a new grub after an # apt upgrade . I am a noob and don't know the right words to explain correctly. I am sorry for that.
[12:20] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: i get what you meant, that's why i asked to display the files of that dir, they get run when update-grub runs after apt updates
[12:21] <Edoctoor> https://termbin.com/ph59
[12:21] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: ok, so os-prober is there and +x'd
[12:22] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: something else is going on
[12:22] <Edoctoor> EriC^^, But was it there when my very first grub was created, when installing a duel boot.
[12:23] <Edoctoor> I don't know, it was just hell, for me ... but I finally have Ubuntu up and running
[12:23] <Edoctoor> and I know about os-prober... and I guess I don't have to use it any more as you have confirmed that is it called
[12:23] <Edoctoor> thanks
[12:24] <EriC^^> Edoctoor: well something doesnt make sense anyways
[12:24] <Edoctoor> I am a noob... get it
[12:24] <Edoctoor> LOL
[12:24] <EriC^^> not that
[12:24] <Edoctoor> ok new question
[12:24] <EriC^^> i dont think running os-prober before update-grub actually makes a difference for update-grub, could be wrong
[12:25] <EriC^^> do you have 2 linuxes installed? it could be that one grub is taking over the other or something
[12:25] <Edoctoor> I'll try both ways
[12:25] <EriC^^> gtg, gl
[12:26] <fallenour> hey everyone!
[12:27] <adac> Friends, any ideas why I get this error when mounting my cifs?  https://pastebin.com/43fwcska
[12:27] <fallenour> Im looking into the best way to use systems containers with LXD, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Ceph storage volumes? I have already built my cluster, and I would like to use it, but Im having issues with LXD reading the config file for some reason. I was wondering also if the best option would be to add my standard user to
[12:27] <fallenour> the admin group, or to do something else. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[12:28] <adac> If i remove sec=ntlm actually it seems to work but not sure why. And my second question is if I can remove this and the connection is still secure
[12:28] <Edoctoor> I am all good now, I squeezed my win10 to give me 60gb and then installed ubuntu in that and after many reinstalls messing with the bios; like about 40 times, I discovered what I needed to keep both os on the same track. Then my first reboot worked, and I did a # apt upgrade and then win10 wasn't not listed in the grub... so I had to do a lot of head scratching before I figured it out. Anyway, I am all good now.
[12:28] <ducasse> fallenour: you might want to try #lxcontainers
[12:28] <Edoctoor> I am just here to learn IRC
[12:28] <fallenour> yea just joined! I apprecaite it
[12:29] <ducasse> fallenour: also #ubuntu-server
[12:51] <fuorviatos> Hi there. Anyone managed to run ubuntu with wi-fi on Mac hardware?
[12:52] <Cheez> fuorviatos: i ran 18.04 for a while on my macbook air without having to do anything particularly odd to get wifi working.
[12:53] <fuorviatos> Cheez: Thanks. I'm struggling to get it working on iMac 27. Probably different driver...
[12:59] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: wich chipset do you have there?
[13:01] <ducasse> fuorviatos: run 'sudo lshw -c network | nc termbin.com 9999' and post the link
[13:05] <fuorviatos> lotuspsychje: Will check that and get back to you
[13:05] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: it will show with the advice from ducasse
[13:15] <fuorviatos> ducasse: I need a moment since my apple keyboard is not recognized. Typing with a virtual one is a bit of a struggle ;)
[13:16] <ducasse> fuorviatos: just post it when you're ready
[13:30] <fuorviatos> ducasse: This is what I get https://paste.pics/7be099362b8e2d7b59dffeedcfd04a0b
[13:30] <fuorviatos> ducasse: Sorry, but had to use my phone and take the picture
[13:31] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: driver looks loaded, wifi doesnt work?
[13:33] <fuorviatos> lotuspsychje: Nope, Ubuntu shows there is no wifi adapter found under settings.
[13:33] <fuorviatos> lotuspsychje: this is live version in case that matters
[13:34] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: can you install ubuntu with a cable perhaps?
[13:35] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: or try the broadcom drivers in your install media under /pool
[13:35] <fuorviatos> lotuspsychje: you mean to plug in the ethernet cable?
[13:35] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: yes
[13:36] <fuorviatos> lotuspsychje: Nope, router is in a separate room. No chance for laying the cable sadly
[13:37] <fuorviatos> lotuspsychje: I can try to play with broadcom but what drivers should i look for?
[13:40] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: check your liveusb /pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/
[13:50] <fuorviatos> lotuspsychje: bingo! installed and worked. Thanks a lot!
[14:08] <simoen3> hello
[14:08] <simoen3> is there a way to see if last modified and create date of a file have been modified?
[14:08] <legreffier> simoen3: no easy way
[14:09] <simoen3> what can be an hard way?
[14:10] <eipip1e0> inotify
[14:12] <simoen3> eipip1e0, ok but if i have no active monitor while i'm modifing timestamps file is there a way?
[14:13] <eipip1e0> poll
[14:14] <simoen3> i dont understadn
[14:16] <lordcirth_> simoen3, what do you mean by an "active monitor"? You can run inotify in the background, logging to a file, if you need to.
[14:16] <eipip1e0> in a loop keep checking
[14:22] <simoen3> ok thank you. my question was confused, i know. anyway i was asking "if i have an external hard disk and i want to modify "last modified" timestamps of the files of hdd to current date, when i plug it in another pc, is there a way to see if that field was modified?"
[14:23] <lordcirth_> simoen3, not really, no.
[14:24] <lordcirth_> You could format it with btrfs or ZFS and therefore have snapshots of the old state, I guess.
[14:28] <lordcirth_> simoen3, Why do you want to do this?
[14:29] <simoen3> cause I want to create a little script that anonimize that fields
[14:30] <lordcirth_> simoen3, ok, and why do you want to do that?
[14:32] <simoen3> to create a set of bash tool; mainly for fun and to learn
[14:36] <dabbill> tomreyn: thanks, this VM was setup a long time ago and forgot about the encryption. My physical computers use full disk encryption.
[14:52] <fallenour> Does anyoen have a guide on configuring lxd with ceph?
[14:55] <ducasse> fallenour: as i hinted earlier, this might not be the best place to ask, we mostly support desktop issues here
[15:03] <kenperkins> ok, got logs for my webcam failing while in use, dmesg and syslog, what do i look for here
[15:03] <kenperkins> https://gist.github.com/kenperkins/2db063af399e9cc02e390fc01043fd52
[15:10] <kenperkins> i don't know the best way to next diagnose the problem
[15:11] <osse> I think my boot time (from grub menu to login screen) is a bit long. How can find out what's causing it?
[15:18] <osse> Googled a bit and ran "systemd-analyze critical-chain". If I'm reading this right then run-user-1000.mount alone takes about a minute
[15:27] <kenperkins> a bit of googling sounds like it might be usb cameras through a usb hub, trying direct to the motherboard and will see
[15:35] <fallenour> .

[16:06] <ducasse> commander64: that's not something we can help you with, you need to speak to canonical
[16:06] <commander64> Id guess mist of it is remote
[16:06] <fallenour> Also, you wouldnt happen to know how I could figure out a better way to debug ceph would you commander64
[16:06] <fallenour> Im having issues with juju deployment of ceph allowing me to use LXD as storage, or even access it apparently.
[16:06] <commander64> ceph?

[16:11] <fallenour> Was commander a bot?
[16:11] <dax> no, they were one of our repeat problem children.
[16:12] <fallenour> mmm I see.
[16:12] <fallenour> Honestly its the first ban Ive ever seen in years in this channel. I honestly thought the mod accounts were just place holders XD
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> fuorviatos: welcome
[16:42] <leonardus> What package do I install for Nvidia 20-series (specifically, RTX 2080 Super) drivers on 18.04.3 LTS?
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> !nvidia | leonardus
[16:43] <leonardus> I have to change "quiet splash" to "nomodeset" every time I boot or else I get a black screen
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: latest nvidia drivers might be a good idea
[16:43] <leonardus> Proprietary ones?
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: and the HWE kernel might do some magic too
[16:44] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: for big cards like gtx and rtx you always need the nvidia drivers to make them work to the max
[16:45] <leonardus> So I add that ppa then run `nvidia-graphics-drivers-435`?
[16:45] <leonardus> apt install ^
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: yes
[16:45] <leonardus> Ok
[16:48] <leonardus> Unable to locate package nvidia-graphics-drivers-435
[16:48] <leonardus> after adding the ppa and running apt update
[16:49] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: what does: ubuntu-drivers list
[16:49] <leonardus> nvidia-driver-435, nvidia-driver-430
[16:50] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-435
[16:53] <ash_worksi> is there a trick to parallel to generate 1..N unsorted quickly?
[16:53] <ash_worksi> (or 1..N > sorted_files)
[16:55] <genii> Fastest traditional is bubble sort
[16:55] <ash_worksi> genii: bubble sort?
[16:57] <genii> It's a method where you select 2, compare, swap their places if one is in the wrong order
[16:57] <genii> ..repeat with all the rest until donw
[16:57] <genii> *done
[16:57] <ash_worksi> genii: I'm not talking about sorting though
[16:57] <ash_worksi> I'm talking about generating
[16:57] <ash_worksi> the fastest multithreaded way to genearate a series of 1..N
[16:58] <lotuspsychje> ash_worksi: thats not really the scope of the ubuntu support channel neither
[16:58] <tomreyn> dabbill: maybe the best way forwardis to reinstall it then. you could also try to add block device encryption below the existing filesystems by booting from a live usb system and using cryptsetup-reencrypt, but (while i haven't done it myself) i assume this is a simple process.
[16:58] <ash_worksi> the only thing I can think of that seems to work is to manually parse sections of the series based on the number of cores and run a background for loop that prints from start to finish
[16:58] <ash_worksi> for each loop
[17:05] <leonardus> made this guide real quick https://gist.github.com/leonardus/0fe9e7675c6203daba994ab3094b6665
[17:07] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: what does nvidia-smi show now?
[17:08] <ash_worksi> any ideas on that?
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> ash_worksi: try ##linux perhaps?
[17:08] <ash_worksi> lotuspsychje: thanks :)
[17:09] <chaosfisch> When using the terminal: Sometimes I randomly end up in a vi/vim with every command that I'm trying to enter. Is this vi-mode?
[17:10] <leonardus> lotuspsychje: https://termbin.com/7ju3
[17:10] <TomyWork> https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/thunderbird vs. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2019-29/
[17:10] <tomreyn> chaosfisch: vi/vim won't start by itself, only when you choose to start it. but i'm not sure i'm getting your question right.
[17:11] <TomyWork> what's up with the lateness?
[17:11] <dabbill> tomreyn: Now that I know whats going on, I am not worried about it for the time being. I will probably rebuild this box when 20.04 is released.
[17:11] <TomyWork> it's been almost a month
[17:11] <tomreyn> dabbill: ok :)
[17:12] <dabbill> tomreyn: thanks :)
[17:13] <chaosfisch> tomreyn: I'm working and changing files with vim, saving them, and then e.g. changing directories. every once in a while, I try to enter a command such as "cd /somewhere" and instead I'll be in vi/vim. I'm not sure if I press any key combinations accidentally - but this is quite annoying.
[17:13] <chaosfisch> Pretty much killed on of our test servers as a result of that today
[17:13] <chaosfisch> one*
[17:14] <lotuspsychje> leonardus: looking good!
[17:15] <lotuspsychje> TomyWork: for security related issues, you can ask in #ubuntu-hardened if you like
[17:18] <tomreyn> chaosfisch: weird, i never had this happen to me. so you edit files in vim, then exit vim, then change directories in the interactive bash / dash shell by typing "cd /somewhere", and as a result of typing this, vi/vim starts again?
[17:19] <tomreyn> i don't really see how this would "kill" a (test) server, though.
[17:19] <chaosfisch> pretty much this +/- something which I might not be able to observe - like keybindings, etc. I enter something like: "cd /somewher" use tab auto completion and -> vi/vim is open. I'm usually able to exit this mode after a few tries.
[17:20] <chaosfisch> well, I was about to enter chown root:root -R /somedir -> and because of this behavior it run chown root:root -R //, which in turn changed file permissions of far too many things
[17:20] <chaosfisch> What's worse, there is not even a history entry that I've run this command :S
[17:21] <tomreyn> hmm maybe ask in #vim, i've never heard of this.
[17:22] <tomreyn> maybe you have an alias set which triggers it somehow? run:  alias
[17:22] <chaosfisch> unlikely, this mostly happens when I'm connected using ssh - into environments which should not have alias set.
[17:22] <tomreyn> it could also be a broken auto completion
[17:23] <chaosfisch> I would not be surprised
[17:23] <tomreyn> so you have custom autocompletions there?
[17:23] <chaosfisch> no, I don't
[17:24] <chaosfisch> this problem never occurs when on my machine (using zsh) - but only occurs if connected via ssh and being in bash
[17:25] <tomreyn> hmm, most peculiar, but i've never heard of or experienced such.
[17:25] <chaosfisch> additionally, I was surprised that "//" is a valid directory... - though, it issued an additional warning at the start of the command
[17:29] <chaosfisch> the chown command which accidentally triggered with wrong path is the perfect example why we should finally make the move to using containers instead.
[17:30] <leonardus> How do I find this path on Ubuntu? https://github.com/lqt5/lqt#3-configure-qt5
[17:30] <leonardus> I've installed qtbase5-dev
[17:34] <sarnold> leonardus: are you sure you need to set it at all?
[17:35] <leonardus> that's just what the instructions say
[17:35] <leonardus> I can try it without though
[17:37] <leonardus> sarnold: yeah it errors https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/riH7aFnU/
[17:39] <chaosfisch> tomreyn: was able to pretty much confirm that I was using "vi-mode" (thanks to help in #vim). Pressing ESC enters command mode, then pressing "v" opens vim. This makes a lot of sense because I'm quite frequently navigating to /var/logs /var/opt.
[17:40] <tomreyn> chaosfisch: so you're now saying you did not actually leave vim before navigating directories?
[17:40] <tomreyn> s/leave/quit/
[17:40] <chaosfisch> tomreyn: vim is not open - but pressing "ESC" enters command mode - apparently (while being in bash...)
[17:41] <tomreyn> not on mine
[17:41] <tomreyn> pressing escape in bash does not magically spawn vim
[17:42] <chaosfisch> set -o vi, then it spawns vim  - afaik
[17:42] <sarnold> chaosfisch: probably set -o emacs will help
[17:44] <tomreyn> oh i see, i wasn't familiar with   set -o vi
[17:44] <chaosfisch> neither was I before
[17:44] <sarnold> it's bloody annoying :)
[17:44] <sarnold> it's an easy way to drive bash users insane
[17:45] <chaosfisch> sarnold: It resulted in running "chown root:root -R //" today.....
[17:45] <sarnold> chaosfisch: oh fun. :(
[17:45] <tomreyn> chaosfisch: why do you have it set, though? it's non default
[17:45] <chaosfisch> I noticed it early enough, but well, the only sane way is to wipe the system and reinstall.
[17:45] <chaosfisch> tomreyn: seems to be default in some systems that I'm working with
[17:46] <tomreyn> you probably have some colleagues who fancy it.
[17:46] <chaosfisch> if someone could tell me why the path "//" is the same as "/" - this would be helpful.
[17:47] <Anon0011> something about making it compatible with older UNIX style systems
[17:47] <Anon0011> it means nothing now
[17:47] <Anon0011> exactly the same
[17:47] <sarnold> chaosfisch: posix sets // aside as a naming method for eg smb or cifs style use
[17:47] <tomreyn> you can also make it /////
[17:47] <sarnold> so linux also kept the // as /
[17:48] <chaosfisch> so - "n times" / is still /
[17:48] <chaosfisch> wow
[17:48] <sarnold> well, sort of
[17:48] <sarnold> /// is the same as /
[17:48] <sarnold> // is //
[17:48] <dax> so is /../, incidentally
[17:48] <sarnold> though it also means / most of the time
[17:48] <Anon0011> it does nothing special
[17:48] <sarnold> it's also bloody annoying to try to find documentatino about this
[17:50] <chaosfisch> thanks to all - and have a nice weekend
[17:51] <tomreyn> you, too

[19:15] <akemhp_> Well for youtube at least, did you check when you click on the gear icon on the bottom right of the video, the speed is set to normal?

[19:33] <vavkamil> hi
[19:34] <vavkamil> is anyone using ubuntu-touch on a smartphone?
[19:34] <akemhp_> Lavillanella, I would try another version of chromium, and check with firefox, but i don't think it has to do with your graphics hardware.
[19:36] <Lavillanella> akemhp_: Everything works fine in Firefox.
[19:38] <akemhp_> Lavillanella, It is probably this version of chromium which has an issue on your machine at least, exit Chromium, try to rename ~/.config/chromium to ~/.config/chromium_old, then relaunch it and try to play a video, if it doesn't work switch to another version of Chromium, i don't have any troubles with 76.*.
[19:44] <Lavillanella> akemhp_: it happens also with a fresh user account.
[19:46] <akemhp_> Lavillanella, Ok, then no need to do this with .config, just try another version of it.
[20:31] <tomreyn> Lavillanella: do you have mesa-vdpau-drivers installed?
[20:34] <tomreyn> if it's installed, try uninstalling it and restart chromium-browser, also toggle the chrome://settings/system  setting in chromium browser.
[20:35] <tomreyn> Lavillanella: oh wait you said 'chrome', that's not supported here, used chromium-browser instead.
[21:00] <jerryabear> hey all. i've been struggling with udev on ubuntu18 and EC2, particularly regarding mapping an instance storage volume. my udev rule intercepts the instance storage 'add' event and creates a symlink. this works on the *first* boot of my instance but subsequent reboots seem non-deterministic and when it fails, the symlink is actually gone. any ideas?
[21:01] <jerryabear> i've also enabled debug output for udev but i'm just not seeing anything useful there
[21:03] <tomreyn> !YY.MM
[21:04] <jerryabear> assuming that was directed at me, this is 18.04
[21:07] <tomreyn> jerryabear: hi, yes, i meant to direct this to you. i don't know an answer to your query question, though. (maybe consider creating a systemd unit instead.)
[21:10] <jerryabear> thanks. i'm using a combination of udev and systemd units actually, but perhaps i have the wrong combo
[21:11] <jerryabear> in fact i'm in the process of abandoning my udev rule since it seems so unreliable and just using a unit but i was under the impression that the udev approach was more reliable for device mapping; maybe that's not so.. :/ not sure
[21:14] <sarnold> I've never understood where exactly one would go to "see" the events that udev is responding to
[21:15] <sarnold> it's always felt pretty opaque
[21:16] <jerryabear> that's a good word for how it feels to me at least :p
[21:17] <jerryabear> enabling debug mode in the udev logging actually resulted in a decent amount of stuff but i was still not able to understand why it was only intermittently creating my symlink
[21:23] <snackattack> I've installed a minimal Ubuntu 18 Server in virt-manager, when I clone the VM, the IP address is the same on both machines. I tried setting up dynamic IP address following https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html but it didn't make a difference, it appears the IP address is stuck on a single static address for reasons I can't understand. I don't have this problem with my Debian 10
[21:23] <snackattack> VMs. Anyone have any
[21:23] <snackattack> pointers/ideas why this might be happening?
[21:30] <sarnold> snackattack: wild guesses, /etc/machine-id or similar in /run and maybe your dhcp client has stashed something similar in its /var/ smething...
[21:34] <foolery> hi anyone care to help a newb?
[21:34] <hggdh> foolery: just ask your question :-)
[21:34] <snackattack> sarnold: Thanks for the pointer, running virt-sysprep (which resets /etc/machine-id among other things) seems to have fixed things
[21:34] <foolery> cheers
[21:35] <sarnold> snackattack: nice

[21:41] <OerHeks> can you tell us more what windows app you used to install (to panel?)
[21:42] <foolery> ok powershell to install permission for linux then ubuntu app on microsoft store
[21:42] <foolery> sorry admin powershell

[21:58] <iwhau> i have just installed Ubuntu 16.04 without any additional software selection, just the minimal option. I have just booted and i try to run python and i get this: "El programa <<python>> puede encontrarse en los siguientes paquetes: * python-minimal  * python3. Intente sudo apt install <paquete seleccionado>"
[21:58] <iwhau> i tried sudo apt install python3
[21:59] <iwhau> and it says: python3 ya está en su versión más reciente (3.5.1-3)
[22:00] <iwhau> i went to /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist.packages and i can't finf python binary
[22:01] <sarnold> iwhau: what's /usr/bin/python3 point to?
[22:02] <iwhau> /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.5
[22:02] <iwhau> oh!
[22:03] <iwhau> now i can see i can run python3
[22:03] <iwhau> as well as python3.5
[22:03] <iwhau> :D
[22:03] <iwhau> should i rename python3 to python?
[22:04] <iwhau> or can i make a symlink to python?
[22:04] <sarnold> don't do that
[22:04] <iwhau> ok
[22:04] <sarnold> python programs expect "python" to be the python2 language
[22:04] <iwhau> oh!
[22:04] <sarnold> and python3 prorams expcet "python3" to be the python3 language
[22:04] <sarnold> me type good..
[22:04] <Skyrider> Can puttygen keys be used as ssh key pair?
[22:05] <sarnold> anyway, don't mix and match your python versions or everything will break and it'll be annoying to fix
[22:05] <Skyrider> If I compare the one that ubuntu makes (private key) and the one that puttygen makes.
[22:05] <Skyrider> They are completely different
[22:05] <iwhau> i reinstalled ubuntu-server because i tried to install django current version
[22:05] <iwhau> and it installed an old version
[22:05] <iwhau> it thinks i don't have python3
[22:07] <iwhau> lets try again
[22:07] <iwhau> i'll get back here if i have any doubt
[22:07] <iwhau> thanks, by the way!
[23:02] <CaTaCaS> Hi, I have an problem. I become an Error as I connect to my Company VPN with vpnc. My FritzBox VPN works grade with vpnc. I become an Error in Terminal like this:vpnc: response was invalid [1]:  (ISAKMP_N_INVALID_EXCHANGE_TYPE)(7)
[23:05] <dzhi> hi
[23:05] <dzhi> anyone uses ansible to do system upgrades (do-release-upgrade)?
[23:05] <CaTaCaS> hi
[23:05] <sarnold> CaTaCaS: that might be a config error of your vpn
[23:06] <tomreyn> CaTaCaS: on a side note, there's also #ubuntu-de in case you prefer
[23:06] <CaTaCaS> ok, but the company VPN is working with the too, ShrewSoft in Windows.
[23:07] <CaTaCaS> *tool
[23:10] <CaTaCaS> I do not understand this problem. The VPN ist working under Windows but not working unter linux. But my Home VPN ist working under vpnc.
[23:10] <glitchd> so im wondering if there is any way to have the login screen only show a password box at login. no names, nothing else, only a password box?
[23:11] <CaTaCaS> I have tested vpnc unter ubuntu, manjaro and parrotOS.
[23:15] <CaTaCaS> In #ubuntu-de are all sleeping, because its 01:20^^
[23:19] <kadiro> glitchd> I think that depend on which display manager you use
[23:24] <glitchd> kadiro, it doesnt depend on the login manager?
[23:24] <kadiro> glitchd> for example in lightdm manager you must create annother config file an add some lines there, (ie: greeter-hide-users=false and allow-guest=false)
[23:25] <glitchd> kadiro, do you have a link to a tutorial so that i can read about that?
[23:25] <kadiro> glitchd> I found something for you, take a look at this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/731425/how-do-disable-user-list-on-login-screen-prompt-for-username-and-password-ubu
[23:25] <glitchd> kadiro, im using ubuntu 18.04 with xubuntu desktop installed
[23:26] <glitchd> kadiro, i only want to put in a password, not choose a user name or input a username
[23:26] <kadiro> glitchd> yes i understand that
[23:26] <glitchd> kadiro, thank you im reading that page now
[23:26] <kadiro> glitchd> the link above is exactly the same case as yours
[23:27] <glitchd> so far it seems very similiar, but again, i dont want to type in the username, i only want to type the password
[23:27] <glitchd> im the only user on the machine so there is no need to choose a different username
[23:28] <kadiro> glitchd> I think that exactly what the 1st answer said
[23:28] <glitchd> kadiro, im afraid not, "making it so that any user would have to enter their username as well as their password to log in"
[23:29] <kadiro> glitchd> ok do whatever you want
[23:30] <glitchd> kadiro, lol whats your problem?
[23:30] <glitchd> kadiro, is there a language barrier here, or are you trying to be rude?
[23:30] <kadiro> glitchd> I have no problem, I just tried to help you that's all
[23:32] <glitchd> kadiro, do i need to explain what im trying to do again, or are you done being a google warrior?
[23:32] <kadiro> glitchd> you explained well
[23:33] <kadiro> and I did that before and worked FYI
[23:34] <glitchd> kadiro, youre missing the point. you gave me a link to instructions that arent what im looking to do. i do appreciate your attempt to help me, but honestly, thus far you have not helped. FYI.
[23:34] <kadiro> glitchd> ok sorry then
[23:35] <glitchd> kadiro, no problem, again, thank you for trying to help me.
[23:36] <OerHeks> CaTaCaS, perhaps the vpn software does something with mac, vpn router lease or something like that, not an ubuntu issue i think
[23:37] <CaTaCaS> ok, how i can change the phase1-exchange in vpnc?
[23:39] <OerHeks> did that vpn work before on your ubuntu?
[23:40] <CaTaCaS> no only on Windows
[23:44] <OerHeks> CaTaCaS, then please from the start, what guide did you follow for your company vpn? vpnc is pretty easy to setup
[23:44] <CaTaCaS> I have chack all parameter --dh  dh2 is default and --auth-mode is PSK default
[23:45] <CaTaCaS> I use the tool "ShrewSoft" on Windows and I import the .vpn file and its works. In the .vpn file I have the PSK Key, ServerAdresse, Ports and GroupName
[23:54] <CaTaCaS> I give up :(
[23:57] <CaTaCaS> I tested it with --dh group 1 and random ports. I can test it with my Phone Hotspot. My last chance
