| vonsanchez | hello brown linux users | 00:58 |
| sarnold | aubergine now | 00:58 |
| vonsanchez | oh nice | 00:58 |
| vonsanchez | :) | 00:58 |
| vonsanchez | i have inherited an ubuntu 12.04 lts box running a postgres database | 00:58 |
| vonsanchez | trouble with it is, every time it reboots all my changes to the root filesystem are gone | 00:59 |
| vonsanchez | does anyone remember how 12.04 did this or how to turn it off? | 00:59 |
| vonsanchez | if i attach the volume to a Debian box and mount it it's persistent rw | 00:59 |
| OerHeks | no support for 12.04. it is EOL, dead. | 01:00 |
| vonsanchez | yup | 01:00 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: wow. that's crazy :/ my 12.04 systems certainly never threw away changes to / | 01:01 |
| Fuseteam | Is there a way to check what causes the | 01:01 |
| Fuseteam | DE to hang via ssh? | 01:01 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: is it perhaps hosted in a VM environment that restores from a snapshot while rebooting? | 01:01 |
| vonsanchez | sarnold: yeah its strange. | 01:01 |
| vonsanchez | sarnold: it's on virtualbox exported from a vmware server | 01:02 |
| vonsanchez | but i can see the volume is rw and i can write to the volume | 01:02 |
| wondows | I don't think anyone could help with this,, but this happened again... whilst debugging an application on gdb, when a breakpoint was hit, Ubuntu partially freezes, the keyboard does nothing, the cursor moves but clicks do nothing, the clock continues to move forward so it's not completely frozen, I just have no control, no input at all. My only | 01:02 |
| wondows | choice is a hard reset. Happened twice in succession | 01:02 |
| vonsanchez | like connected to another vm | 01:02 |
| vonsanchez | its only when its booted into itself that it seems to be ro | 01:03 |
| vonsanchez | and doesn't go "read only filesystem" - it will let you make changes then they just vanish on reboot | 01:03 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: before you spend too much more time on it, I'd suggest poking around the vmware interfaces. this sure feels like some "fresh snapshot" sort of thing. | 01:03 |
| vonsanchez | like even if the disk image is attached to a fresh machine on vbox it does it | 01:04 |
| sarnold | man it's Crazy Problem Hour or something :) | 01:04 |
| vonsanchez | yeah sure is | 01:04 |
| vonsanchez | sarnold: all i really need is the postgres off it so I might just leave the image jacked to a newer machine and see if i can get it to start the dbs and ignore the rest of the system | 01:12 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: aha, and let you sidestep solving it entirely :) | 01:12 |
| wondows | hmm that seems to happen if a breakpoint is hit after a call to Qt's `QWidget::grabKeyboard` | 01:13 |
| vonsanchez | i just thought it was weird. and wondered if it was a feature so nobody can screw up your box | 01:13 |
| sarnold | wondows: aha!! | 01:13 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: certainly not one I've seen *inside* ubuntu; it sure feels like something done from the outside | 01:13 |
| vonsanchez | sarnold: yeah maybe like https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/181421/building-a-read-only-linux-system-with-a-writable-layer-in-ram but ubuntu instead of rhel | 01:14 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: I think if you do those things within the system, it'll show up clear as day because mount output etc will show overlayfs or overlay or aufs or similar things and upperdir= and lowerdir= and so on and so on. very noisy very grunky. | 01:17 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: but it'd be super-easy to have a checkbox in a VM storage manager that says "revert all block writes on poweroff" or "discard all unsaved writes" or something | 01:18 |
| vonsanchez | oooo | 01:18 |
| vonsanchez | mount says / is aufs | 01:18 |
| vonsanchez | wwth is aufs | 01:18 |
| vonsanchez | oh it is layered | 01:18 |
| sarnold | OHOO! | 01:18 |
| vonsanchez | lol | 01:18 |
| vonsanchez | yup | 01:20 |
| vonsanchez | aufs=tempfs buried in the grub line | 01:20 |
| vonsanchez | ANOTHER MYSTERY SOLVED | 01:20 |
| vonsanchez | thanks sarnold | 01:20 |
| sarnold | vonsanchez: woot. sorry i ttook so long to get there :/ | 01:20 |
| vonsanchez | yeah thats a neat trick though | 01:23 |
| Fuseteam | Hmm for some reason ubuntu 18.04.3 seems to freeze occasionally | 01:31 |
| Fuseteam | Even the clock stops moving for a while | 01:32 |
| porygon-z | Hello, does anyone have any useful power management guides for using Ubuntu on a laptop? I was thinking of wiping my windows OS on my laptop and switching to only Ubuntu. However my only problem with Ubuntu in the past was power management | 01:42 |

| nekroze | I have installed autossh via snap, but it seems it cannot read anything under /root where normal ssh can (access denied trying to read the ssh key for example or update known_hosts). Is this some kind of snap sandboxing and how can I enable this use case? | 02:28 |
| OerHeks | i have never tried autossh snap, does it generate ~/.ssh/config ? or a config file under ~/snap/autossh ? there you could enable rootlogin so you would have access to /root | 02:31 |
| sarnold | nekroze: you may need to 'plug' an interface or something similar for files | 02:32 |
| OerHeks | snap page says logout/login or reboot first | 02:32 |
| sarnold | it's also possible that /root isn't allowed via the "home" interface | 02:32 |

| ubottu | loganlee: Unity is a graphical shell for the GNOME desktop environment. Ubuntu used it by default from 11.04 to 17.04. For more information, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity | 02:53 |
| loganlee | Bashing-om, i think the most recent version has unity | 02:54 |
| akemhp_ | It would be strange, i think it's just normal GNOME. | 02:54 |
| akemhp_ | But you can still install it. | 02:54 |
| Bashing-om | loganlee: unity is community supported - is in the universe repo . | 02:55 |
| loganlee | ok | 02:55 |
| loganlee | i would use ubuntu exclusive if i can run all my windows apps | 02:59 |

| ironpillow | Hi all, I am trying to install ubuntu 18.04LTS server. I am getting this error: "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/mapper Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed." I see that my usb flash drive is /dev/sda and my SSD (msata) is /dev/sdb. I need to install grub on /dev/sdb. Any advice? thanks! | 03:17 |

| herewegoagin | hello everyone, im using ubuntu 19.04 desktop and would like to share a 25Gig folder (friends wedding footage)-can anyone suggest a good foss choice for 2019-my thoughts so far ftp torrent,setup a server and host it-too hard for other user | 05:22 |
| herewegoagin | any suggestions appreciated =) | 05:23 |
| ericadams | Maybe something like Nextcloud? | 05:23 |
| herewegoagin | for that id install on ubuntu server make an account and host locally (is the setup convoluted and verbose?) | 05:25 |
| herewegoagin | thats a question sorry | 05:25 |
| herewegoagin | also if you know would nextcloud transfer likely be faster than torrent given the protocol? | 05:26 |
| herewegoagin | ps thanks for the suggestion | 05:26 |
| OerHeks | your provider might squeeze torrents | 05:27 |
| herewegoagin | OerHeks, is there an easy way to check if so (sqeezing me shaping .tor) | 05:27 |
| herewegoagin | and thanks also | 05:28 |
| OerHeks | herewegoagin, no, just try it | 05:29 |
| OerHeks | i would do nextcloud too, easy setup and administration of users | 05:29 |
| OerHeks | and some hardening https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/configuration_server/harden_server.html | 05:30 |
| lotuspsychje | herewegoagin: ftp as protocol not reccomended, a security flaw these days | 05:31 |
| lotuspsychje | herewegoagin: sftp as alternate | 05:31 |

| k_sze | Can somebody explain why a command pipeline like this could get stuck? `~/.cargo/bin/rg --help | /usr/games/lolcat -f | /usr/bin/ponysay -Wi | less -R` | 08:55 |
| k_sze | `rg` is ripgrep from rust cargo | 08:55 |
| Triffid_Hunter | k_sze: when less stops reading the pipe, all the preceding commands get blocked once the buffer is full | 08:55 |
| Triffid_Hunter | k_sze: if you press 'end' in less, it'll let everything complete then display all the output | 08:56 |
| geirha | rg might be writing the --help on stderr. Some commands are silly like that | 08:56 |
| k_sze | Triffid_Hunter, end? | 08:56 |
| k_sze | as in capital G? | 08:57 |
| Triffid_Hunter | k_sze: yeah, it's a button on your keyboard unless you have a mac | 08:57 |
| k_sze | oh, let me try | 08:57 |
| k_sze | Right. that worked. | 08:57 |
| k_sze | So why would less stop reading the pipe? | 08:57 |
| Triffid_Hunter | k_sze: because it's already filled the screen with text, and you haven't told it to scroll down | 08:57 |
| k_sze | Which somewhat begs the question: if it has "already filled the screen with text", why don't I see anything until I press "End" on the keyboard? | 08:59 |
| Triffid_Hunter | k_sze: dunno, usually it fills one screen then stops reading. when you press end, it waits for the input pipe to close then displays the last text received | 09:00 |
| Triffid_Hunter | if you press page down, it should read one more screen worth of text then stop reading the pipe again | 09:00 |
| k_sze | Triffid_Hunter, if I just press page down, I still see nothing. | 09:01 |
| Triffid_Hunter | k_sze: no idea, dmesg | less and friends works as expected here, perhaps it's some odd quirk of your command chain? | 09:02 |
| Triffid_Hunter | k_sze: what happens if you pipe to more or another paginator instead of less? or through tee logfile? | 09:03 |
| k_sze | let me try | 09:03 |
| k_sze | oh, nvm | 09:05 |
| k_sze | it's just slow | 09:05 |

| Skyrider | Mmhhh.. Why won't /var/log/auth.log no longer log things after you've cleaned it with vim? | 09:49 |
| Mikjaer | I have a small embeded system thats runs a scaled down version of Ubuntu, it's running a plain X with just a browser and a composite window manager on it, and im trying to rotate the screen, using the xrandr command, and this works great on my emulator and on a vga monitor ... but when i try to do it on a system with a hdmi monitor it does nothing and gives me the error message: xrandr: Configure crtc 0 fa | 09:52 |
| Mikjaer | iled , i am lost for ideas as to what can cause this? | 09:52 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: because your logging daemon is probably still logging to a stale filehandle. send it a SIGHUP | 09:54 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: lsof -p $(pidof rsyslogd) shows which logs are being written to here, perhaps yours has some marked as '[deleted]' ? | 09:56 |
| tomreyn | or would that be /lib/systemd/systemd-journald nowadays? | 09:58 |
| Skyrider | rsyslogd 879 syslog 9w REG 8,2 1274754 394443 /var/log/auth.log~ (deleted) <- this one? | 09:58 |
| tomreyn | sounds right to me | 09:59 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: bingo | 09:59 |
| Skyrider | Odd it says deleted though. It exists. | 09:59 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: so sudo killall -HUP rsyslogd and it'll reopen the file | 09:59 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: probably it was renamed, deleted, then the new auth.log was renambed again | 10:00 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: if you ls -li /var/log/auth.log* you'll probably notice the inode number is different | 10:00 |
| Skyrider | Already ran the command though ^_^ works perfectly again | 10:01 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: btw, this is caused by the exact same design choice that allows us to update stuff without rebooting | 10:01 |
| Skyrider | Should I use > to clean the log file instead? | 10:01 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: use logrotate | 10:01 |
| Skyrider | Ah, okay. Got it :D thanks | 10:02 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: it basically renames the file, issues HUP, then optionally compresses the old file | 10:02 |
| Skyrider | Now to figure out why my ssh key won't work.. Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /etc/ssh/keys | 10:02 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: either we can rename/delete files that are open elsewhere, or we can't. If we can, then this happens but we can update things that are being used. If we can't then we have to reboot to install updates. Guess which OSes made each choice ;) | 10:03 |
| tomreyn | ls -ld /etc/ssh/keys | 10:03 |
| Skyrider | Windows I'd assume XD | 10:03 |
| Skyrider | drwxrwxrwx 9 root root 4096 Oct 4 21:49 /etc/ssh/keys -- Which is weird though, because the sub directory inside keys is owned by the user | 10:04 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: haha bingo again :P | 10:04 |
| Skyrider | sshd config is set for the auth key file to be found under /etc/ssh/keys/user/.ssh | 10:04 |
| Skyrider | the user is properly chowned. chmod 0755 for the user, 0700 for .ssh and 0600 for the auth key file. | 10:05 |
| Skyrider | Only /etc/ssh directory is owned by root, not its sub-directories. | 10:05 |
| Skyrider | **/etc/ssh/keys | 10:06 |
| Skyrider | And to be fair, linux also requires updates for specific updates :p | 10:07 |
| Skyrider | errrrrrrr, reboots.. typing too fast. | 10:07 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: like what? can even switch kernel without technically rebooting using kexec, and I frequently swap graphics drivers without rebooting | 10:07 |
| Skyrider | Can't recall atm.. Guess mostly security updates that requires restarts | 10:08 |
| Skyrider | I randomly see" system restart required" or along the lines after performing updates. | 10:08 |
| Skyrider | https://devanswers.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/System-Restart-Required-2.png | 10:09 |
| Skyrider | Like so :p | 10:09 |
| Skyrider | But I'd appreciate to get the ssh key to work :D | 10:12 |
| Skyrider | Using in sshd_config -> AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/keys/%u/.ssh/authorized_keys | 10:13 |
| Skyrider | Fixed it ^_^ | 10:22 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Skyrider: why there instead of the traditional ~/.ssh ? | 10:31 |
| Skyrider | User has no home directory. | 10:31 |
| Baikonur | if I make http requests from multiple processes, do they block each other on my end, or are there circumstances that affect that? | 10:43 |
| Baikonur | I guess that's not specifically ubuntu related | 10:43 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Baikonur: nope, but the network stack will have to funnel all the requests up your default route, and then the replies come back whenever they come and are doled out to the relevant processes | 10:44 |
| Baikonur | Triffid_Hunter: so I can't really "make it faster" by doing something on my end? | 10:45 |
| danlii | This is perhaps a stupid question, but I have installed an Ubuntu 19.04 Server machine, without internet connectivity, and I need to install some additional packages. I thought I could do that by adding the installation CD to apt sources, but it hardly has any packages on it, and certainly not the ones I need. What to do? | 10:45 |

| lotuspsychje | SooPhoo: there's also a #libreoffice channel if you want deeper investigation | 12:02 |
| SooPhoo | thanks lotuspsychje | 12:03 |
| mgedmin | CQ: you mean when you ping x it tries to ping x.olddomain.com? check for 'search olddomain.com' in /etc/resolv.conf | 12:03 |
| mgedmin | CQ: (also, is /etc/resolv.conf a file you manually set up, or is it a symlink pointing to a file in /run/ that is dynamically created? in which case it might be the DHCP server telling you the wrong domain) | 12:03 |
| SooPhoo | lotuspsychje, what method of searching for channels via keyword yields best results in spite of network-dont feel like im getting the most from irc atm methods of searching i know of include alist online search engine for irc channels-any suggestions? | 12:08 |
| CQ | mgedmin, I haven't rebooted since the domain change, but I thinkthats the issue. OK, rebooting gets the right domain in there. Thanks! | 12:08 |

| LuckyMan | delete the partitions? | 12:21 |
| EriC^ | LuckyMan: make a fresh partition table | 12:22 |
| LuckyMan | EriC^, how? | 12:23 |

| cybercrypto | LuckyMan: You want to erase usb data for use with another image, or general storage purpose? | 12:39 |
| LuckyMan | cybercrypto, another image | 12:40 |
| cybercrypto | LuckyMan: great... this is the most simple way: you can sudo and use dd tool | 12:41 |
| cybercrypto | LuckyMan: something (using your drive instead of X) # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1k count=2048 | 12:42 |
| ducasse | LuckyMan: you can just write the image over the old one, no need to 'clean' it | 12:42 |
| mgedmin | no need to erase anything, just overwrite with the new image and be done with it | 12:42 |
| cybercrypto | LuckyMan: to make sure what is your usb drive, use blkid | 12:42 |
| cybercrypto | LuckyMan: since you will write another image onto it, no need to 'partition' after you erase using dd. just use dd to write image and you are good to go | 12:43 |
| LuckyMan | I know I can overwrite it, but sometimes this flash drive is annoying... | 12:44 |
| cybercrypto | LuckyMan: there is a good guideline related to dd on the wiki, take a look if you wheel. | 12:44 |
| LuckyMan | I'm trying to overwrite it first. Btw why does startup disk creator asks for my password? | 12:46 |
| mgedmin | to elevate privileges so it can access raw block devices | 12:47 |
| cybercrypto | LuckyMan: correct mgedmin, managing disks are admin tasks that you have to have certain permissions to be able to execute them. | 12:49 |

| Guest_53 | hello is this a place where I can ask for help about a ubuntu thing? | 13:26 |
| Gusj | Guest_53: Yes, pose your question and wait for somebody to reply to you.. | 13:27 |
| Guest_53 | How can I put wi-fi in my computer I recently installed linux and I don't know how to put the wi-fi | 13:28 |
| Guest_53 | Hello? | 13:30 |
| ducasse | is this plain ubuntu, with gnome? | 13:31 |
| Guest_53 | yes, 18.04 | 13:32 |
| ducasse | lotuspsychje: can you help? | 13:32 |
| Guest_53 | ok, do you know how to do it? | 13:33 |
| ducasse | i don't have gnome, but there should be a networking icon you can click to open a menu | 13:33 |
| Guest_53 | gnome? | 13:33 |
| ducasse | the desktop is called gnome | 13:34 |
| Guest_53 | ok | 13:34 |
| Guest_53 | I'm new to linux | 13:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest_53: wich chipset do you have? | 13:34 |
| Guest_53 | I don't know, how do I verify that? | 13:35 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest_53: pastebin: sudo lshw -C network please | 13:35 |
| Guest_53 | ok | 13:35 |
| Guest_53 | ok, I've done that, how can I verify the chipset? | 13:37 |

| skraito | Guest_53, | 13:38 |
| ducasse | can you pastebin the output of that command? | 13:38 |
| Guest_53 | no, my mouse is a little bit damaged. | 13:39 |
| Guest_53 | wait, is it the part saying product? | 13:39 |
| mgedmin | sudo lswh -C network | pastebinit | 13:39 |
| mgedmin | (assuming the machine is online via a cable or something) | 13:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest_53: under your wifi chipset at bottom, does it show a driver= loaded? | 13:39 |
| Guest_53 | wait, could find a new mouse | 13:40 |

| tomreyn | BCM43142 seems to need braodcom-sta: sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source - but hopefully that's what ubuntu-drivers did. | 14:16 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: : Hi Tom, as per Lotus instructions to the other user, I just noticed I also have *-serial UNCLAIMED, could this be related to my not recognizing laptop keyboard and trackpad problem? | 14:17 |
| Guest_53 | ok, I rebooted and nothing | 14:18 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: let's see the full command and output (pastebin) | 14:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest_53: try what mgedmin adviced, pull out cable and see if wifi icon shows? | 14:19 |
| Guest_53 | I used the cable and nothing | 14:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest_53: plug out cable to test please | 14:20 |
| Marqeaux | Guest_53 could also try if his Wifi-card is blocked. Try the command: "sudo rfkill list all" and see if there is something that prevents wifi from working... | 14:20 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: did i send you something via memoserv the other day? did you test it, what was the result? | 14:20 |
| Guest_53 | I tried and this was the result | 14:21 |

| Gusj | tomreyn: No did not receive it I don't think... how can I check now, do i go /memoserv ? | 14:22 |
| mgedmin | I did not advise to pull out the cable! | 14:22 |
| Guest_53 | ok??? | 14:22 |
| mgedmin | I suggested opening the top-right menu and seeing if wifi connection options are there | 14:22 |

| ioria | Guest_53, yes, disable Secure Boot from bios) | 14:28 |
| jeremy31 | Got to go now | 14:28 |
| Gusj | doug16k: I understand thank you | 14:29 |
| Guest_53 | https://termbin.com/pu46 | 14:29 |
| Guest_53 | Oh sorry, I thought she was asking for that command | 14:29 |
| Gusj | Guest_53: you ahve to see how to enter your bios when the comp boots, either 'del' 'f2' keys you can look that up with the brand of computer | 14:29 |
| Gusj | Guest_53: Inside there is an option called 'Secure Boot' | 14:30 |
| Guest_53 | and after that? | 14:30 |
| ioria | Guest_53, you need to reboot and access your BIOS | 14:30 |
| Guest_53 | ok, I disabled it | 14:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest_53: working wifi now? | 14:34 |
| Guest_53 | let me see | 14:34 |

| mgedmin | (the entire ubuntu wiki seems to be pretty outdated) | 14:35 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: sorry, had a phone call incoming there | 14:40 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: /msg memoserv list | 14:41 |
| tomreyn | but it's possible i'm mixing something up then | 14:42 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: so you were asking about SMBus, line 310 of your output. that's the system message bus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_Bus | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | err management, not message | 14:43 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: ahh no probl Tom, Just read them, yes I had responded to you that yes I had tried that resetting the laptop and then inmediately after going into bios to reset defaults, yes tried that a long time ago... thank you | 14:43 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: yes that is correct that it says 'unclaimmed' | 14:44 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: but when I go to additional driver tab, there is nothing there, since the beginning have not seen anything there listed.. | 14:44 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: the SMBus would not be unclaimed if a matching driver was available. | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | "additional drivers" is just a way to install a few proprietary drivers which have explicitly been prepared by ubuntu developers to be installed this way. | 14:47 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: ahh thank you Tom, so it is unclaimed because then no driver is avaliable? the power options are all good in the laptop | 14:50 |
| tomreyn | yes | 14:51 |
| inersha | Would my IP changing cause the downloading of a large file to fail? | 15:09 |
| doug16k | when I change usb headset volume, left channel mutes. If I unplug and reconnect the headset, it returns to normal (stereo), touch volume and it mutes again | 15:09 |
| inersha | I'm trying to scp a large file to my home computer (500GB). However, it seems to fail after a few hours. I think this is because my ISP changes my IP address and it causes the download to fail. | 15:10 |
| doug16k | been using this setup unchanged for months. first time I have had audio issue like this | 15:10 |
| mgedmin | inersha: yes, your IP changing breaks all TCP connections | 15:12 |
| tomreyn | inersha: your isp disconnecting you shortly would cause it. | 15:12 |
| mgedmin | inersha: you can use rsync -P to resume partial transfers | 15:12 |
| doug16k | `pulseaudio -k` followed by `pulseaudio --start` and now no sound. sound GUI has two copies of headset now. neither works | 15:12 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: Tom, when I do a xinput list, or run the hardware info in Lubuntu I have the following info, the keyboard shows up now apparently, look: “AT Raw Set 2 keyboard” type: keyboard / bus 0x11 / vendor 0x1 /product 0x2 version 0xab00 /connected to isa0060/serio0/input0 == the original Log message that we pinned it down to with TJ- is the following: "atkbd serio1: keyboard reset failed on isa0060/serio1" could it be that it s | 15:12 |
| Gusj | hows up as serio0 in xinput list, when in actuality it is in serio0 according to xinput? | 15:12 |
| inersha | mgedmin: tomreyn: Thanks, thought it would be. I'm guessing there's not a lot I can do about that aside from getting a static IP? | 15:13 |
| inersha | mgedmin: Okay thanks, will try that | 15:13 |
| doug16k | rebooting | 15:14 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: i don't really know enough about xinput handling to help you diagnose this. chances are someone else here or in ##linux knows better. | 15:17 |
| tomreyn | i suspect that "keyboard reset failed" is a result of your kernel parameters | 15:18 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: Ahh I see, and those parameters can only by altered by recompiling a kernel, is this the correct thinking? | 15:19 |
| doug16k | ok weird. rebooted and changed volume. left channel muted. before I touched the volume, balance sounds centered. touching volume mutes left channel. I looked in sound control panel, balance slider most of the way to the right. center it and sound centered again | 15:19 |
| doug16k | buggy initialization doesn't apply balance. oh well, working ok now | 15:20 |
| CaTaCaS | Hi, I have an Problem with vpnc. The Problem, I become this Error: vpnc response was invalid 1 (isakmp_n_invalid_exchange_type)(7) , looks like that the "aggressive mode" is disabled in vpnc. I try some Post from the Internet how aktivate the "agressive mode" but it is not working | 15:21 |
| tomreyn | Gusj: those you see in the output of "cat /proc/cmdline"? no, that's the ones you set yourself | 15:38 |
| tomreyn | ...in /etc/default/grub | 15:39 |
| tomreyn | (you need to run sudo update-grub after editing this file to apply the changes on next reboot) | 15:39 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: No it cannot be any of those I don't think, because without those the problem was the same, with these or some of these at least IO can change the brightness, and turn wifi on/off but that is it.. | 15:43 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: Without one of those, I can see the keyboard is frozen, I can tell bu the numlock light staying on all the way.. as soon as the system starts to load, while in the grub, the keyboard works | 15:44 |
| tomreyn | i see, ok, that's all i could think of. | 15:45 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: these are the ones now there: root=/dev/mapper/lubuntu--vg-root ro locale=en_EN i8042.direct atkbd.reset=1 i8042.kbdreset=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1 acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2013" | 15:45 |
| tomreyn | right, "atkbd serio1: keyboard reset failed on isa0060/serio1" sounds like a result of specifying atkbd.reset=1 | 15:47 |
| tomreyn | but if you can't use the keyboard without it, i guess you better keep it | 15:47 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: Let me try it right now withot it to see, will update after modification, | 15:48 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: before I do that, does the 1 in 'atkbd.reset=1' relate to serio1? or it is doing is giving that parameter the ON value? | 15:49 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: because the keyboard according to lshw is in: ==> "isa0060/serio0/input0" | 15:50 |
| tomreyn | i don't know | 15:51 |
| tomreyn | have you tried reading up on it? | 15:51 |
| Gusj | tomreyn: before I did, let me check again thank you | 15:52 |

| vadique | makr8100, it just bbeps | 16:01 |

| makr8100 | I'm pretty basic with vpn's - I just get the .ovpn file from the router then use openvpn | 16:02 |
| CaTaCaS | I have an Problem with configuration the vpnc | 16:03 |
| lordcirth_ | vadique, honestly, it might be easier to install 'mc' and use that to delete it :P | 16:03 |
| CaTaCaS | I can't aktivate the "aggressive mode" in vpnc | 16:06 |
| tomreyn | vadique: here's another way: ls -li against the directory it's in, then note down the number returned for it in the first column. then find . -inum NUMBER -ls to verify it's the correct file, then, if it is correct, find . -inum NUMBER -delete | 16:07 |
| lordcirth_ | tomreyn, didn't think of that, good idea! | 16:07 |
| tomreyn | me neither, i stole it from some website. | 16:08 |
| mgedmin | another trick is to use interactive rm, e.g. rm -i ./*, then answer 'yes' for this file and 'no' for other files | 16:10 |

| octav1a | I am going to manage a small cluster of dev machines, in house. They are just for testing before the real runs are done on a bigger HPC. There are four boxes, each with their own bank of disks in raid. In order to make it easier for developers, I was considering some way to JBOD all of the storage volumes over the group to one mounted directory, so that there is no need to move files manually between machines. Does NFS support | 16:38 |
| octav1a | anything like that? | 16:38 |
| rfm | octav1a, I can't think of any NFS way to make them one big file system spanning all the disks. | 16:44 |
| rfm | octav1a, you can certainly have all the machines export their file systems and mount them in the same spots on every box, so every box looks the same | 16:45 |
| rfm | octav1a, the one big file system (however it could be done) sounds pretty fragile, if any one box is down all the space is unusable. | 16:47 |
| octav1a | rfm: that's a good middle ground, then the only exposed part is having 4 random folders to keep track of space usage | 16:47 |
| octav1a | it looks like "glusterfs" might be able to handle something like this: https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Quick-Start-Guide/Architecture/ | 16:49 |
| === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL | ||
| rfm | octav1a, I don't know anything about gluster. ZFS (raidz) on iSCSI might do this, but googling for experiences shows people have had trouble.. | 16:56 |
| rfm | octav1a, and the ZFS-on-iSCSI is still pretty fragile since you'd have to nominate one box to run zfs and export the big file system as nfs to the other boxes If that box died moving that load to a different box would be challenging... | 17:02 |

| ewp | I've tried adding "DNS=" under "[Network]" in /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-eth0.network but the change doesn't filter through to /etc/resolv.conf (despite systemctl restart systemd-networkd) do didn't work for me, and doesn't persist a reboot | 17:27 |
| lordcirth_ | ewp, if you are not using networkmanager, than you will want to edit the files under /etc/netplan/ | 17:27 |
| ewp | Good point, I'm running on an AWS instance, is networkmanager the default if I was to download an Ubuntu ISO and install? | 17:30 |
| ewp | It does look like this AWS instance could be using netplan, I've not heard that before. thanks -i'll investigate. | 17:30 |
| sarnold | ewp: network manager is the default on desktop instances but not server instances | 17:33 |
| lordcirth_ | ewp, networkmanager is only default on desktops. | 17:33 |
| ewp | fab, ok that's useful to know thanks - its been a long time since I've had cause to use ubuntu desktop. what is the default on ubuntu server? | 17:35 |

| PCatinean | I reset a dlink router and tried to connect to it and didn't work. I then booted into windows, succesfully connected to the router, changed the password and now back to ubuntu 18.04 | 17:40 |
| PCatinean | It connects to the network but no internet connection or web interface available | 17:40 |
| PCatinean | how can I debug this? | 17:40 |
| lordcirth_ | PCatinean, do you get an IP from DHCP? | 17:41 |
| PCatinean | lordcirth_, wlp2s0 interface says inet 192.168.0.193 | 17:43 |

| PCatinean | and pinging 192.168.0.1 returns a reply | 17:43 |

| acebrianjuan | tomreyn: The issue I have is with the built-in speakers of my MSI laptop GP73 Leopard 8RE. Every time I boot up I need to raise the "Headphones" channel in alsamixer as it is at 0 level every time I boot up | 18:02 |
| acebrianjuan | I found this workaround through trial and error | 18:03 |
| acebrianjuan | I myself can't explain why there is a "Headphones" channel next to the "Master" and "Speaker" channels in alsamixer | 18:04 |
| acebrianjuan | If I have no headphones plugged in, the "Headphones" channels should be disabled right? | 18:04 |
| tomreyn | acebrianjuan: hmm, ok, i'm afraid i really don't know where to start there. have a look at the wiki maybe. | 18:04 |
| acebrianjuan | tomreyn: I guess, the most immediate solution I could find to make my settings persistent is this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/50067/howto-save-alsamixer-settings | 18:05 |

| RonaldsMazitis | hello,I came home from my random janitor work, with my ubuntu destroyed in one partition and kubuntu working in another | 18:18 |
| RonaldsMazitis | something does not start on startup, what do Yall advise me to do | 18:18 |
| PCatinean | Still has quite a few references | 18:18 |
| bumblefuzz | I'm trying to specify the autoconnect timeout for network manager | 18:19 |
| tomreyn | PCatinean: you can share the output with us if it's not too sensitive (only). iptables -L | nc 5.39.93.71 9999 (while you have internet access) | 18:19 |
| RonaldsMazitis | can I reinstall ubuntu with 64 bit image | 18:19 |
| PCatinean | https://pastebin.com/Ur6LVpTd | 18:19 |
| RonaldsMazitis | if I have installed 32 bit? | 18:19 |
| PCatinean | just internal ips so I don't think it's a problem | 18:19 |
| bumblefuzz | according to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/networking_guide/configuring_the_dhcp_client_behavior "Note that after 5 minutes, the auto-connection process starts again and the dhcp client retries to acquire an address from the dhcp server." | 18:19 |

| PCatinean | tomreyn, brb | 18:20 |
| tomreyn | PCatinean: it doesn't look like docker was shutdown there | 18:20 |
| RonaldsMazitis | again, can I reinstall ubuntu with 64 bit image, if I have installed 32 bit? | 18:20 |
| RonaldsMazitis | maybe I should download kubuntu 32 bit instead and reinstall it | 18:21 |
| bumblefuzz | is anyone good at network manager? | 18:22 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: there is no way to convert an intel 32-bit to 64-bit installation. all you can do is to install it fresh. you can keep your data by macking backups, or if you have it on a separate /home file system. | 18:23 |
| RonaldsMazitis | OK, that's what I thought | 18:24 |
| tomreyn | bumblefuzz: this is rather special / specific configuration, so i'm wondering whether you're maybe trying to solve an issue that you don't have, instead of focussing on the other issue that you should tackle? | 18:24 |
| sarnold | doug16k: hah, and to think, I've wanted to replace libvirt with something much less generic and more like a good collection of twenty-line-long qemu commands .. :) | 18:24 |
| RonaldsMazitis | I'm still insecure | 18:25 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: i may be mixing you up with someone, but wasn't it you who also had a broken hdd? | 18:25 |
| RonaldsMazitis | no | 18:26 |
| RonaldsMazitis | how do I know if my machine supports 64 bit | 18:26 |
| tomreyn | RonaldsMazitis: ok, so i was mixing you up with someone else then | 18:26 |
| tomreyn | dmesg | grep ' DMI: ' should work | 18:27 |

| royalewithcheese | also you may need to edit your /etc/fuse.conf to all include "user_allow_other" to be uncommented | 19:27 |
| ioria | renn0xtk9, or host key is changed or you need to remove the option ; try : sshfs max@dell:/ /media/max/dell | 19:27 |

| sarnold | that downloads their gpg key and sets its trust in apt, so that your apt will trust their repository | 22:45 |
| sarnold | once their key is trusted, you can download and install their packages with apt | 22:46 |
| sarnold | do note that when you do this, they get to run their package pre and post scripts as root, etc. so be sure you trust them completely. | 22:47 |
| amrasouli7910 | sarnold: Thank you for your response, but trusted and I want to remove trust line.How I can do that? | 22:50 |

| black_ | anyone else experiencing this problem? | 23:29 |
| sarnold | black_: are you using the deb or the snap? | 23:31 |
| sarnold | cocof: No match for domain "SARNOLD247.COM". | 23:31 |
| sarnold | cocof: woo | 23:31 |
| black_ | sarnold, apt-get | 23:39 |
| black_ | sarnold, I guess that's dpkg in the background | 23:39 |
| sarnold | black_: hmm nothing obvious on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0 | 23:41 |
| black_ | I was thinking of re-installing a package but I'm guessing it's related to libc6 so that's probably not a good idea to remove and install again | 23:42 |
| black_ | it's a bit annoying since a lot of my work is in the chromium tabs | 23:43 |
| sarnold | black_: I don't spot anything on errors.ubuntu.com that feels similar to this | 23:45 |
| sarnold | black_: is there anything in your dmesg? | 23:45 |
| black_ | good call! | 23:46 |
| black_ | I think it's some apparmor | 23:46 |

| Bashing-om | black_: Correct - Hummm so the file is there too. | 23:48 |
| black_ | Bashing-om, yes, I guess the appamor is blocking it | 23:48 |
| black_ | I'm wondering how to either fix apparmor (seemingly hard) vs disabling a single profile for chromium | 23:49 |
| Bashing-om | black_: I put on my learning cap now - follow sarnold's lead :) | 23:50 |

| Bashing-om | sarnold: black_ "sandbox" A snap install of chromium ? | 23:53 |
| black_ | Bashing-om, not sure | 23:54 |
| sarnold | Bashing-om: the profile name suggests the profile came from the apparmor-profiles package, which is a collection of .. "iffy" profiles, they're not good enough to enable by default | 23:54 |
