[00:04] some say you can use a windows or ios machine too [00:06] i am on a windows machine and I can create a live drive just fine with 1 USB stick. I used RUFUS, pointed to the ISO located on the WINDOWS HDD and then Pointed to the USB drive, selected MPR etc, not persistence and...voila....a perfectly good live drive, but with no persistence. When I used RUFUS and set persistence, it doesn't work. When I boot [00:06] to the USB it says something about not being able to mount. [00:10] Ubuntu Live ISOs created after August 1, 2019 support the persistent storage feature, so persistent partitions are only working with Rufus 3.7 and later using Ubuntu 19.10 and later. [00:10] https://askubuntu.com/a/1178755 [00:11] so you are bound to persistence up to 4 gb including the iso i guess [00:12] hmm...that doesn't sound like a lot of space, perhaps for configuration files, but not storage. I read somewhere that multuple partitions can be used including a partition using NTFS. Man, this is a heck of a task. [00:13] how much are you trying to do on a usb [00:13] if you want an actual install, you should just do that [00:15] good point. OerHeks thanks for the link, is it safe to assume that ubuntu 19.XX may not be as stable as 18.XX? [00:16] you are free to asume what you want [00:16] in_cognito: YMMV - 19.10 is in development - however -sold as a roack in my test bed install. [00:17] 10 days to go [00:17] Ben64 what the heck really is the difference between having persistence on a live drive an a full install on a USB stick. I want to be able to plug into any random machine and get going with work. I understood from some readings that if in persistence I start to install drivers to suit one machine I may have issues with another. Actually, if there [00:17] is a difference between persistence and a full install on a USB, I'd like to try both. If full install means installing to an internal HDD, I am not looking to do that. I want portable computing. [00:18] Bashing-om, that's great. So I can just download that ISO and the latest vesion of RUFUS and only need 1 USB stick to get a drive with persistence. I will give that a try. [00:18] in_cognito: there's a big difference. an install can be anywhere [00:19] dude, I am totally confused. So speaking about a USB drive, there are 3 options. 1.) Live with not persistence 2.) live with persistence and 3.) full install [00:19] is that correct? [00:20] sure [00:21] okay, so then what's the main difference between 2 and 3. Why full install vs. Live with persistence? [00:21] Has anyone here setup a database on ubuntu, a server for it, and hosted it on localhost for development? [00:22] Sorry for asking here, but ddg assumes that anyone who is a webdev is a windows or mac user [00:28] Woodpecker, sure, there is #ubuntu-server too [00:29] !lamp [00:29] ah good idea [00:29] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [00:47] Bashing-om, am I listed on the #linux channel or the ##linux channel as active? Because the former is invite only for me but I am in the latter. [00:52] extor: You are in the #linux channel >> "7:56 * extor has a laptop with an AMD......" . [01:05] If you do a /whois on me as I just did you should see that I am not in #linux but I am in ##linux [01:05] Also, it tells me that you are in ##linux and #ubuntu and nowhere else when I do a /whois on you. Just sayin. [01:09] extor: Nope -do '/names' in the #linux channel; and you will see "extor" in that list :) [01:10] I could, if I were on that channel. [01:14] extor: try and close out ##linux, then ' /j #linux ' // and could be that you must be registered to join - but #linux is not an invite only channel. [01:15] I guess they are the same channel then [01:17] extor: Me thinks ##linux re-directs to #linux. [01:19] the more you learn === akemhp is now known as akem [01:26] * Cannot join #linux (Channel is invite only) [01:27] I just identified with nickserv. [01:27] lmao [01:27] I can join ##linux tho. [01:27] try doing /quote KNOCK #linux [01:28] when i trying to login to my account in X, it immediately logout, what possible reason? [01:30] bqq: Two most likely reasons 1) sudo'n where you should not, and now root owns the desktop. 2) broke graphics driver. [01:30] standard answer would be: check your logs? [01:31] brendantcc, I did. [01:33] akem, so you found out that ##linux is the right one [01:34] OerHeks, I think yes... :) [01:41] OH ouch extor OerHeks : Yeah the support channel is ##linux :D === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [03:06] is there any terminal replacements you'd recommend? [03:07] what [03:08] I guess you meant shell [03:08] no I mean the terminal [03:08] the default is kinda meh [03:08] what is a terminal to you [03:08] program for serial commucation I guess [03:08] one thing that bothers me... everywhere else I use ctrl+backspace to delete a word... in the terminal I have to press alt+backspace.. wtf [03:08] for commucating with other device [03:09] e.g. on the mac I use iTerm2 [03:09] that's what I mean by "terminal replacement", another terminal application [03:10] also in the terminal I have to use ctrl+shift+C to copy... ctrl+shift+V to paste... [03:10] it's non-standard [03:10] standard for linux [03:11] I mean every other app does not behave like that [03:11] I have to keep changing my behavior when the terminal has focus, annoying as hell [03:11] why complicate things? JfC [03:11] ctrl+c already does a thing in a terminal [03:11] so ... it's ctrl+shift+c [03:23] really, design safety features are awesome [03:45] i think wondows means a terminal emulator [03:46] what file would the error "Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation" be talking about? I think it might be one of these.... shell: "echo a ; >&1 sudo lsof /var/lib/apt/lists/lock || echo b ; >&1 sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock || echo c ; >&1 sudo lsof /var/cache/apt/archives/lock || echo d ; ", [03:46] I'm trying to check the status on unattended upgrades.. [03:48] More specifically, I'm trying to run some provisioning using Ansible but some tasks are failing because they cannot get ahold of a lock. [03:58] wilornel[m]: Maybe: ' sudo fuser -vvv /var/lib/apt/lock ' to find the files ? [04:01] let me try that [04:06] Bashing-om: the command gives an empty output.. [04:08] wilornel[m]: Maybe now the lock is not in effect: ps -ef |egrep "apt|dpkg" ? [04:12] * wilornel[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/DlniJWruYgZryVRvNKDCEivD > [04:12] I'll try what you just suggested in a minute [04:16] gah, it only outputtted the command itself and the grep subcommand ... [04:17] I'm lost, I think there's something I don't understand in the whole provisioning process of a Ubuntu Xenial AMI. There's something about systemd I guess, cloud-init, boot-finished... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45269225/ansible-playbook-fails-to-lock-apt?noredirect=1&lq=1 and https://serverfault.com/questions/855872/how-to-wait-for-user-data-script-to-run-when-starting-ec2-instances-with-ansible/855898#855898 [04:32] wilornel[m]: Will take another that knows more about ansible than I :( [05:44] hi === user2 is now known as yusuke [06:27] Hi! I have a problem with my Ubuntu budgie desktop. Every time I restart I either get Ctrl+alt+left or right or none working to switch workspaces. I can add a custom keybind with the command but it doesn't always work with restart either even though it's still there in my keybindslist. [06:29] AndroUser2: have you asked in #ubuntu-budgie, yet? i'm not even sure which software it uses there. [06:30] oh I'm sorry didn't know there was that channel [06:31] AndroUser2: No worries, generally, here is generally fine, too, since there is a big overlap amongst the Ubuntu flavors. But when it's desktop specific questions, you're usually best served in the flavor specific channel. [06:32] see also the /topic there [06:45] Hey [06:47] I'm wondering if the issue with htop rendering is on my terminal (juicessh) or htop [06:49] hmm, I suppose it's not an Ubuntu issue though [06:50] there's also ##linux if it's not Ubuntu specific [06:59] anyone here familiar with DBus? if so, what is a StatusNotifierHost? and how does it relate to a StatusNotfierItem and a StatusNotifierWatcher ? [07:15] the kernel is issuing an unsupported SCSI command to my WD Passport external drive: https://gist.github.com/doug65536/0d38503572ab3d0eb83fe9e3eae8870c [07:15] is there a way to add a quirk with a kernel command line option or something to tell it not to try to use "WRITE SAME" operation code? [07:17] oops, meant to post this in ##linux. sorry === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner [07:37] Hi guys, I am using 18.04 and after changing some dhcp settings on my router, my ubuntu machine fail the dhclient process. I tried to remove dhcp leases and flush the arp, but it still seems to fail. Windows machine seems to go with dhcp just fine. === acheronuk is now known as RikMills [07:46] metnel: so what's being logged about it? [07:46] use the pastebin given in the channel topic [07:48] what is the relationship between pulseaudio, alsa and oss+ [07:48] which one is used when and why? [07:50] tomreyn: I tried to use dhclient directly and it just seem to hang on DHCPDISCOVER [07:51] metnel: firewalling maybe? [07:51] The firewall is the dhcp server, I haven't change anything firewall wise. [07:51] (Dhcp also works for windows machines) [07:52] so there's no host firewalling on the ubuntu system [07:53] oh, yes there is. this might be it? I will try and disable it [07:54] mornin` ladies and gentlemen [07:56] tomreyn: disabling the host firewall still doesn't seem to do the trick. [08:00] zamba: we dont really take polls here, consider #ubuntu-discuss [08:01] metnel: so if iptables -L is now empty and dhclient -4 -d INTERFACE just sits there then it doesn't see any DHCP offer in response to its discovery boradcast. [08:03] metnel: you can then use network packet inspection utilities (tcpdump / tshark / wireshark) to investigate the traffic further. [08:03] yeah I suppose I will have to do that. [08:03] is there a separate channel for powerpc? (u16.04, ppc32) [08:03] Thanks! [08:03] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol#Discovery [08:04] metnel: i assumed you're on ipv4 there. it can work very differently on ipv6 [08:04] I'm using ipv4 [08:05] I'm trying to isntall vagrant on Ubuntu 18.04, but I get errors configuring lvm2: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/tTPcWsybYw/ [08:05] catocalypse: #ubuntu-powerpc (doh!) [08:06] tomreyn, thanks, soz for the silly question :) [08:06] ;) [08:06] !alis | catocalypse, if it helps next time [08:06] catocalypse, if it helps next time: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [08:08] trijntje: did you had to add ppa's for vagrant? [08:09] trijntje: so why is lvm2-lvmetad.socket masked? [08:09] tomreyn, no idea, this is what I was able to find about that: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/469310/lvm2-service-is-masked-in-debian [08:09] i'm attempting to install a package that says it requires version > 5 of python-tornado.. apt depends mopidy shows "Depends: python-tornado (>= 5)" [08:10] but when doing apt-cache show mopidy, i see the following line: "Depends: debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~), python (>= 2.7), python (<< 2.8), python-pkg-resources, python-pykka, python-tornado (>= 2.3), adduser, debconf, lsb-base, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, python-gst0.10" [08:10] lotuspsychje, I have http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu enabled [08:10] i read that as just version 2.3 or above? [08:10] i have installed mopidy on a different 18.04 machine just fine.. so what's up here? [08:10] trijntje: not sure how its related to lvm yet, but dependency issues we see its mostly related to ppa's conflicting apt ways [08:11] tomreyn: seems like a human error, cable management thingy. Still, thank you so much for the assist! [08:12] metnel: finally a good reason to get rid of management! [08:13] trijntje: well it's not masked on my operational 18.04 system. but you're saying this is during an ubuntu installation, or just while installing the vagrant package? [08:13] zamba: can you use a pastebin output of your apt result when installing python-tornado please, volunteers might be able to debug better [08:13] tomreyn, just while installing vagrant [08:14] trijntje: which environment is this system operating in? is it a VM, bare metal? [08:16] tomreyn, just a normal desktop PC, without full disk encryption [08:17] trijntje: i see. what if you purge lvm2 and reinstall it? [08:17] lotuspsychje, I think our sysadmin added that ppa, so I don't want to just disable it ;) [08:17] trijntje: only do it if you're not actually using it [08:18] lotuspsychje: i am able to install python-tornado, but apparently not the right version [08:19] tomreyn, lotuspsychje: looks like purging lvm2 and reinstalling fixed it, I can now install vagrant [08:20] zamba: apt policy mopidy will likely show different available versions, some of which are from a ppaß [08:20] ? [08:20] tomreyn: yeah, i figured it out :) [08:21] trijntje: okay, unmasking the socket would probably have worked, too. i think this socket was masked on ubuntu 16.04 by default, but not on 18.04, so maybe it's a result of an incomplete upgrade of this system. [08:27] What graphic tool can i use to show disk space used by a folder and the branches/files inside. [08:27] ? [08:27] akem, baobab should be installed by default [08:29] Thanks trijntje [08:29] akem: you can also right-click on a directory in nautilus and select properties [08:30] (then look, on the "Basic" tab, at "Contents" [08:30] ) [08:30] tomreyn, Ok, but i use Nemo, and i wanted something more detailled, i got what i was after with Baobab. [08:30] cool [08:41] !yay | trijntje [08:41] trijntje: Glad you made it! :-) [10:12] o/ [10:12] Hello everyone. Can you tell me if Linus Torvaltds ever visits this channel? [10:17] prophecy04: that's not an ubuntu support topic, which this channel is about [10:17] ok [10:17] for an ansible playbook I need to fetch a file from an smb share. regardless whether i use the smbclient command to fetch the file or use the mount module to mount the share it doesn't work. strange thing is, that i can access the smb share via nautilus/nemo just fine. mounting manually works too, smbclient however gives me this> [10:17] smbclient server/path/directory {{ smb_password }} -U {{ smb_username }} -c "recurse;lcd /tmp/ansible/;get myfile.tar.gz" [10:17] Hello, any preseed gurus here? Im trying to rpeseed install for Ubuntu server 18 from ftp server, it looks like the file gets downloaded successfully, but then I get message "umount: cant unmount /root/dev: device or resource busy". Any idea why that would be? I have nothing to special in preseed file (language, auto partitioning, apt install with [10:17] some packages,...) and i know it works, at least when I put it in the ISO file [10:17] Unable to initialize messaging context [10:19] stane95: /join #ubuntu-server [10:19] tomreyn oh sorry thank you [10:21] !samba | Vonor start here [10:21] Vonor start here: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba.html [10:27] Vonor: what i gather from reading https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13925 is that the message "Unable to initialize messaging context" this looks more like an irrelevant side effect (a leftover error message) which should not cause things to fail. but maybe i'm misinterpreting what i read, and it's actually failing due to it. [10:27] Error: Could not parse XML returned by bugzilla.samba.org: mismatched tag: line 100, column 4 (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13925&ctype=xml) [10:27] please ignore what ubottu said [10:34] lotuspsychje, erm. thanks? I asked something specific not a general newbie question about accessing windows shares [10:34] tomreyn, thanks. that actually helps in further research :) [10:34] Vonor: just widening your options [10:43] tomreyn, interesting. using sudo i don't get that message. but the commands specified via -c still don't work. even a simple smbclient host/share/path PASSWORD -U USER -c 'dir' doesn't show anything [10:45] Vonor: so i assume you're hitting another error condition, too, i just don't know which. anything ont he logs? [11:01] apparently the logs are empty. using -d 9 i get some output but i can't see anything pointing to an issue either. [11:29] Gusj: hi there. you got messages pending from memoserv [11:29] (about our previous work on your laptop here) [11:29] tomreyn: Hola Tom... ahhh wow, how can I check them? did not know, have not received any notice... [11:31] tomreyn: Just saw the notice in the join msgs of server thank you [11:34] Gusj: so this 10s power button press is about clearing your mainboards' NVRAM, i think. and it seems to have helped others using your hardware. [11:40] tomreyn: Hola Tom, Thank you for this alternative, I already have tried that many times before, disconnected, with battery out, and for more than one minute pressing the power button.. [11:42] If anyone has a solution for keybinds that doesn't work after restart sometimes could you email me on "noelhkleen@gmail.com". Thanks! [11:43] Gusj: ah, that's a pity then. something else TJ brought up is that you should make sure it's not due to a bad custom setting in your bios. i.e. make sure to reload vendor defaults, and only change what you strictly have to then. [11:43] s/vendor/manufacturer/ [11:45] tomreyn: Yes, have looked at that profile very well and in detail as you can imagine, I have gone to defaults, etc.. I tried to update it from 1.40 to 1.50 (the latest ver) if you remember, was able to burn a cd form a windows copmuter inorder to update it, but when I tried, it gave me the same msg that it gave me when I tried to update it through windows, 'Wrong Model/version', even though I downloaded from the Toshiba page for my [11:45] particular model, So I think either they labeled it for my model when it is not or I don't understand [11:46] tomreyn: but get this, I was able to make a freedos 1.1 USB before I tried the CD, and when the machine booted into freedos Tom, the keyboard did not work either, not the laptop keyboard of the external one.. [11:47] tomreyn: I know this is a long shot, but is there an open source GENERIC bios that gives you access to more stuff inside the bios that you can flash the motherboard with and not brick it? [11:48] Gusj: very unlikely for a laptop. [11:49] there's coreboot and linuxboot but neither of these will work with laptops unless specifically patched and tested to work with a specific laptop model. [11:49] so we tried all we could, i'm afraid. good luck! [11:49] tomreyn: I still onyl have, (with those grub commands that I managed to narrow it down) the FN+F2+F3 (brightness up/down) & FN+F11 (wifi on/off) [11:51] i see [11:51] tomreyn: was thinking of maybe updating to 19.04, I have Lubuntu 18.04 LTS at the moment... as I thhought I would get a higher kernel [11:52] i'm afraid i don't think there's any way to make this hardware work on linux for oyu. [11:52] I'm trying to install freecad, from the maintainers PPA [11:52] However, the freecad package points to the one in the official ubuntu repo [11:52] How do I prioritize the launcpad.net ppa? [11:53] tomreyn: Some ppl have reported a fix of update to a kernel 5.1xxxx [11:53] well, give it a try then Gus, but i'm not convinced [11:54] !pinning | c03 [11:54] c03: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [11:54] tomreyn: I am almost certain that it has to do with this toshiba module thing, "Failed to start fnfxd.service." I get that msg alot, whne trying to install input stuff [11:55] Gusj: you can always just uninstall the software rpoviding it. [11:55] tomreyn: That service module cannot / does not start, Have tried uninstalling it and installing it, same result.. does not start, it is an apci module, I have a question for you Tom, if my external USB mouse and keyboard work, then it cannot be a apci problem right? [11:56] "fnfxd.service" sounds more like a systemd service to me. and one that is not part of ubuntu 18.04 LTS [11:57] tomreyn: Yes but it is something Toshiba specific apparently.. and int he Synapt Pckg Manager it reads "You will need at least a kernel (v2.4.x, v2.5.x, v2.6.x) with ACPI and Toshiba support (CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA)" [11:58] there is https://packages.ubuntu.com/fnfxd [11:58] so you could just purge this package [11:59] hmm, it's i386 only [11:59] so it's really unclear how you got it installed on your ubuntu 18.04 amd64 installation [11:59] tomreyn: I have tried uninstalling and installing, and always get an error.. so you recommend removing it completely? right? [12:00] tomreyn: IT got there byt itself originally... [12:00] apparently oyu first tried installing it, since i dont think the ubuntu installer would have installed it for you. [12:00] unless you installed a 32-bit version of 18.04? [12:01] tomreyn: I don't think so Tom, it has been there since the beginning, after I saw its name in the logs etc,.. then I becamse aware of it, but I never installed it myself [12:01] tomreyn: no no always the 64b version [12:01] well, purge it, see what happens. [12:01] tomreyn: ok will do.. [12:01] tomreyn: Thank you [12:02] tomreyn: Tom do you recommend that I update to the 19.04 lubuntu version? [12:02] Gusj: and if you can, run dpkg -l fnfxd and apt-cache policy fnfxd before you purge it [12:02] tomreyn: ahh ok will do.. [12:16] tomreyn: Tom, here are the results of those two (1) commands.. ===> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tmfJ6sM2nk/ [12:17] this i386 package is in state "half-configured", it was never properly installed. [12:18] Gusj: can you post this as well: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL) [12:19] tomreyn: It gave me an error in synaptic pkcg manager.. yes one sec [12:19] and this also: sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -y update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 Gusj: see above. and finally also: ls -l /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd [12:23] actually make that ls -l /proc/acpi/toshiba/ === fc5dc9d4_ is now known as fc5dc9d4 [12:50] Trying to resize a windows partition, "Windows is hibernated, refused to mount" [12:52] how do I unhibernate it from ubuntu? It won't boot [12:55] AlexPortable: i don't think you can from linux. you could try ntfsfix, but this may very well cause data loss. [12:55] AlexPortable: not possible so far as I know, without deep tinkering. When hibernated the NTFS pagefile is used to store an image of RAM and cannot be moved or otherwise affected by a resize [12:56] AlexPortable: there's a $hibernate file if I recall correctly alongside the $swapfile [12:58] https://askubuntu.com/questions/204166/how-do-i-mount-a-hibernated-ntfs-partition [12:59] Howdy folks [13:04] AlexPortable: actually you could try to mount it read-only, this may work [13:08] tomreyn: Hi Tom, here are the logs for the 2 commands, ==> https://termbin.com/sc0h && https://termbin.com/sfvd [13:09] tomreyn: For the comm "ls -l /proc/acpi/toshiba/" ==> total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 oct 7 09:07 version [13:10] Hello there... I am running Hexchat in Lubuntu, and for some reason the bottom line, i.e. Tabs for channels and queries is underneath the Panel. I have maximised etc and still nothing. any ideas please? It is not a matter of maximising etc. [13:11] No worries, sorted it out [13:12] Gusj: thanks for getting those outputs. so i suggest you purge fnfxd:i386 then [13:12] tomreyn: Ok thank you Tom.. so I will do a complete removal from Synaptic Pkg Manager? or is there a better way to do it? [13:13] Gusj: command line interface is always better since you'll not miss any warnings / errors. sudo dpkg --purge fnfxd:i386 [13:14] tomreyn: Thank you will do it now [13:17] tomreyn: I did it Tom and got no warning messages. Cannot reboot at the moment because wife is using the laptop but will do it as soon as I can and let you know [13:22] Gusj: sure. you should also run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get full-upgrade to make sure the system is fully updated now that this broken package is removed. [13:22] tomreyn: ok thank you, will run that now, before rebooting [13:22] you havea kernel update pending amongst other, as seen here (where the upgrades were just simulated): https://termbin.com/sfvd [13:23] Gusj: you also have this error you should fix, a PPA is configured which does not support your current ubuntu release (18.04): E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/colingille/freshlight/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file. [13:23] tomreyn: I am having trouble seeing that for myself in the log... I searched for kernel and got no hit [13:24] search for "linux-generic" instead [13:26] tomreyn: well i order to resize it i have to mount it with read permissions [13:27] AlexPortable: or recreate it smaller and copy the data, but i'm not sure how reliable that is, yes [13:27] tomreyn: I did the update Tom, this was the result ===> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/w57VkPPV9Q/ [13:28] well im not entirely sure if i need the data [13:28] but what i do know is that i need space now no my main partition, only hve 1 gb left or so [13:28] Gusj: right, it failed ("E: ...") due to the broken apt repository. fix this, run the whole series of commands again [13:29] Gusj: you will need to remove the configuration for this PPA manually by deleting the file which configures it off /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [13:30] AlexPortable: i think we went over all the options you have. [13:31] i.e.: good luck there! [13:32] can i just wipe it ? [13:34] AlexPortable: when volunteers say all the options are considered already? [13:34] AlexPortable: sure, you can delete the partition or zero the file system if you don't need the data anymore. [13:36] Adding remove_hiberfile worked, thanks [13:36] Gusj: when you did the power-off -remove-battery- exercise, on rebooting did you immediately enter firmware/BIOS setup by pressing F2 and then reset to factory default by pressing F9 and save with F10 ? === rud0lf is now known as \\rud0lf|| [13:45] if i put xset in .xinitrc then next time i could not login due to lacking X resources. so where should i put xset in? [13:46] Question: does a version upgrade will unninstall my snaps? [13:47] LuckyMan: should not [13:47] LuckyMan: wich version to wich are you planning? [13:48] other: Will it change my Virtualbox configuration? [13:48] I'm on 19.04 [13:48] planning to upgrade to 19.10 [13:48] eipip1e0: what are you using it for? [13:48] tomreyn: for keyboard rate setting [13:48] LuckyMan: i dont see a virtualbox snap? [13:48] Which tools do you prefer to develop desktop app on ubuntu? [13:49] a90c: qt? [13:49] lotuspsychje, not a snap [13:50] the repository one [13:50] LuckyMan: oh they were 2 questions, nvm [13:50] eipip1e0: which version of pyqt? [13:50] eipip1e0: hmm maype put "sleep 1;" in front or move the keyboard configuration to xorg.conf [13:51] LuckyMan: upgrades will take over your /home and its confs too and upgrade package versions [13:51] LuckyMan: its always wise to consider backups [13:51] I see [13:52] tomaw: Will delete the file now and run the series of commands again... conocerning the nvram reset, yes I did that, will do it again just to be sure.. [13:52] tomreyn: what is the rational for "sleep 1;" [13:52] eipip1e0: oh sorry qt is different than pyqt. [13:52] TJ-: Hola TJ!! thank you for your help, yes I did, will do it again just to be sure.. [13:52] lotuspsychje, I don't have much to backup but I have important work on a virtual machine [13:52] eipip1e0: making sure it has time to initialize. it's ugly, i know. [13:52] eipip1e0: which one is better for beginners? [13:54] LuckyMan: ok, so backup your vbox data? [13:54] TJ-: TJ thank you for leaving me that suggestion with tom.. I really appreciate it... [13:55] TJ-: I also installed evdev with the help of another user Tenagra as an alternative [14:02] TJ-: I tried your solution of trying to boot off the generic mainline kernel 4.15, with same result as well.. at the moment, with the grub commands I have narrowed down to, I can FN+F2+F3 for brightness and FN+F11 wifi on/off and that is it.. I also tried a 'listen' command to see what kyes were giving outpout in terminal, and those were the only keys where I could see output in terminal when I pressed them.. [14:04] lotuspsychje, how? (advise me) [14:09] lotuspsychje, I never made a VM backup [14:09] lotuspsychje, should I use export or clone? [14:14] LuckyMan: if you want to make a one-time backup copy of your VirtualBox VMs you really just need to recursively copy ~/VirtualBox\ VMs\ to a backup storage [14:20] tomreyn, ok So I would restore the backup copying back the files to ~/VirtualBox VMs [14:22] Hi there, I am trying to set up a VM (Windows 7 64bit) using kvm / qemu/ gpu passthrough. Unfortunately the guest doesnt recognize the GPU properly. It says "Device cannot be started (code 10)." [14:22] Strangely it properly set up the audio chip of my gpu. Any experienced user here to help me ? [14:23] LuckyMan: yes. you may also need to backup ~/.VirtualBox/ to save the global configuration as well as the list of configured VMs. [14:24] LuckyMan: there could be more to it, read the manual at virtualbox.org and (if still needed then) ask in #vbox for further backup instructions. [14:24] tomreyn, ok thanks! [14:25] Estov: and you host runs which ubuntu version? does it work with an ubuntu guest system (in a supported version)? [14:26] I run a kinda fresh install of Ubuntu: Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, Release: 18.04 [14:26] I haven't tried Ubuntu as guest yet. Only Arch and Windows. [14:27] did arch work? [14:27] with gpu passthorugh, that is [14:28] I think so, because the lspci command in Arch showed me the same output for my GPU as my host does [14:28] how many graphics cards do you have? [14:29] I have 2: one Intel chip and a NVIDIA graphics card [14:29] IOMMU Group 1: [14:29] 00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) [8086:1901] (rev 05) [14:29] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile] [10de:1c20] (rev a1) [14:29] 01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GP106 High Definition Audio Controller [10de:10f1] (rev a1) [14:29] !paste | Estov [14:29] Estov: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:29] oops sry the iommu group copy paste wasnt intended [14:30] on upgrade I'm getting http://dpaste.com/33PHJ6N [14:30] well if gpu passthrough works with arch this means it works on both the host and the virtualization. and you're looing for windows support. [14:30] it this OK or could be a problem? [14:31] !eoan | jatt [14:31] jatt: Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) will be the 31st release of Ubuntu, scheduled for October 2019 ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseSchedule ). It will be supported for nine months. Join #ubuntu+1 for support and questions. [14:31] So what can I do ? :( [14:31] ok will ask there then thanks [14:32] Estov: you can try to get windows support. there's ##windows here, and probably several other offerings elsewhere [14:34] mmh ok, thanks [14:34] hi all. i have some nfs directories on an ubuntu server that are mounted on a raspberry pi (running raspbian Buster). The mounts have worked perfectly, but suddenly disappeared this weekend. I can see the mounted directories on the client, but not the contents of the directories. [14:35] is there a default lease time that perhaps I didn't change? [14:42] I'm on ubuntu server 18.04 and have set up my wifi [14:42] However, when I reboot my wifi does not automatically connect [14:42] if I plug in the ethernet, the wifi will connect [14:43] but only after I plug in the ethernet [14:43] is there a way to make the wifi connect at startup regardless of whether the ethernet is connected? [14:52] bumblefuzz, I'm not answering your question but are you on a laptop and is the wifi card supported by ubuntu? [14:53] this is on an RPi 3 [14:55] and you installed ubuntu server there how? [14:55] Maybe you dont want that but ... you could try to install / set up networkmanager (sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install network-manager). It always worked nice for me. [14:56] Is there a place I can set the default PS1 for all users? [14:57] bumblefuzz: you got ubuntu server 18.04 onto a RPI3? [14:58] tomreyn https://ubuntu.com/download/iot/raspberry-pi-2-3 [14:58] nicomachus https://ubuntu.com/download/iot/raspberry-pi-2-3 [14:59] huh. [15:00] bumblefuzz: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=945716 [15:01] bumblefuzz: the rpi3 has some issues with the interfaces, especially ethernet and wifi. this may be a tricky bug for you to track down. if you don't NEED ubuntu server, the recommend software is raspbian and works OOTB. There is also specific rpi support at #raspberrypi [15:06] well, the wifi connects perfectly ONCE the ethernet cable is plugged in [15:07] bumblefuzz: yes... please see the link I shared. [15:08] so, I'm guessing it has to do with the mechanism that sets up the ethernet enabling the wifi to connect [15:08] I tried to re-mount my NFS shares on the client, and got an "access denied to server" error. I shouldn't have any access errors. the client hostname is specifically allowed in /etc/exports on the server. [15:08] bumblefuzz: again... yes. see the link I shared. [15:09] I'm even connected to the nfs server via ssh tunnel from the client, so I'm not sure how access is an issue here. [15:09] the link that you shared was written in 2016 [15:09] I'm using ubuntu 18.04 [15:10] also, my problem isn't the same as theirs [15:10] bumblefuzz: yes, and you're using hardware that is older than that. [15:10] the wifi will work when the ethernet is unplugged [15:10] but it only initializes after the ethernet is plugged in [15:11] I think this is something to do with service permissions or something [15:11] bumblefuzz: literally the same issue in the link. please read the thread and try some of the solutions and investigatory stuff. [15:16] bumblefuzz: ah sorry, i wasn't aware there's supported preinstalled server images for those. [15:17] this is nothing to do with that 2016 thread [15:17] ifupdown has been replaced by netplan in 18.04 [15:18] this is to do with netplan [15:18] netplan setting up the ethernet connection somehow enables the wifi service [15:19] so does netplan use the systemd-networkd (default on 18.04+ server) or the network-manager renderer then? [15:20] default on a fresh installer based installation, that is, i don't know how it's setup on these images. [15:21] I don't even know how to check that [15:21] I have no experience with netplan [15:21] network-manager makes a lot more sense for wireless, i think systemd-networkd's capabilities in handling wireless ocnnections are limited [15:21] bumblefuzz: "cat /etc/netplan/* | grep render" [15:22] TJ- no such file or directory [15:22] bumblefuzz: then it is not using netplan [15:23] bumblefuzz: "systemctl status NetworkManager" [15:23] journalctl -b should also say that systemd-networkd is either choosing to manage it or not. and if it doesn't then network-manager should say it's doing it [15:23] TJ- active(running) [15:23] bumblefuzz: you should see "Active: active (running) ..." in that output if NM is handling network [15:24] bumblefuzz: OK, so we're making progress [15:25] bumblefuzz: just to check there isn't a conflict, check "systemctl status systemd-networkd", you should see "Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service; disabled; ..." and "Active: inactive (dead)" [15:25] active(running) [15:26] networkd is activating the ethernet [15:26] bumblefuzz: aha! so you've 2 separate tools both managing aspects of the network. My guess right now is NM is for Wifi and systemd-networkd for wired [15:26] it shows "eth0 DHCP4" and "wlan0 not managed by us" [15:26] right [15:26] bumblefuzz: so firstly I'd recommend using only NM to avoid problems [15:27] I don't know how to set up an ethernet connection via nm [15:27] bumblefuzz: but more specifically, to check why NM isn't bringing up wifi immediately, check its logs with "journalctl -u NetworkManager --since='yesterday' " [15:28] bumblefuzz: same as for setting up wifi, but you probably need to override the NM policy that has it ignore wired connections [15:29] bumblefuzz: so, to allow NM to manage wired interfaces do "sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf" [15:29] I'm not 100% comfortable doing that yet since the only way to connect to the machine require networkd setting up the ethernet [15:29] which somehow allows the wifi [15:30]
