[00:16] Hello, I have an issue with booting ubuntu studio. it happens that all this week i've been trying to install ubuntu studio in my laptop lenovo ideapad 330s AMD ryzen 5 with AMD radeon vega 8 graphics. [00:16] now is that when I rebooted, and select ubuntu studio with low latency it show another smaller black screen [00:31] I want to configure APT on an Ubuntu 18.04 install to search first for a local mirror and only if that mirror search fails, search for the main server (archive.ubuntu.com). Is this possible? [00:33] FurretUber: if you put your local mirror before the official mirrors in the apt sources.list then your local mirror should be preferred [00:58] hi [00:59] Can someone help me with the command how to mount sambashare [00:59] i can access the share through the file manager [01:00] but wheni do the commnand sudo mount-t cifs //192.168.1.2/sambashare /mnt/myshare i get PERMISSION DENIED [01:04] tomreyn, sorry for the wait, upgrade bios, kernel, and other stuff [01:05] what is wrong with the command sudo mount -t cifs //ipaddressofthesambaserver/sambashare /mnt/myshare [01:06] aleksandrdvorkin, what's the error message? [01:06] Permission Denied [01:07] aleksandrdvorkin, is that the exact error? [01:07] aleksandrdvorkin@aleksandrdvorkin-VirtualBox:/mnt/myshare$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/sambashare /mnt/myshare [01:07] Password for root@//192.168.1.2/sambashare: ******** [01:07] mount error(13): Permission denied [01:07] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg) [01:08] aleksandrdvorkin, So, you either don't have permission to mount there, or, the username/password are wrong [01:09] aleksandrdvorkin, Samba, btw, requires you have a matching system user, and a smb user added [01:09] last I knew [01:11] Fair warning to you guys, if you have 19.04... I tried 3 times to install nvidia from drivers ppa and it prevented booting anything but rescue mode and screwed up packages (on a CLEAN install) [01:11] Thankfully the provided drivers are new enough for vulkan.. just a heads up [01:11] so to add the matching user i add it to /etc/samba/smb.conf === Mekely is now known as MekelySpooky [01:21] is samba suppost to be installed on both client and server or only a server to mount a share === zbenjamin is now known as Guest98080 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:03] hello I upgraded from 19.04 to 19.10, however I think I might be missing few gnome core apps, how can I run equivalent of 'pacman -S --needed gnome' ? [02:04] Hello, I need help. When attempting to install updates in Ubuntu 19.10, Ubuntu freezes when trying to update apparmor. Can anyone help me with this, please? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [02:04] to install any missing packages from ubuntu's gnome 3 group [02:05] emilson: what does that command do? [02:06] sarnold, 'pacman -S --needed gnome' would attempt to install/reinstall only missing packages from gnome3 group [02:06] e.g. if you had gnome 3 installed and removed Music and Totem, that command would install them back for you without reinstalling the *whole* DE over again [02:08] emilson: aha, I'm not entirely sure you'd recreate the situation -- you could try apt install gnome and see if that offers any recommendations or similar.. [02:09] sarnold, ah I see, thanks, I'm glad you understand my question! [02:09] emilson: I am having trouble with Ubuntu freezing whenever I try to install updates with the Ubuntu Software app. Ubuntu freezes when trying to update apparmor. Can you help me with this, please? [02:09] emilson: I'm using Ubuntu 19.10 [02:09] wisescribe7: what do you mean by 'freezes'? [02:11] sarnold: The hard drive keeps spinning as if it's continuing to update but goes no further; stuck at apparmor update, mouse stops working. [02:11] wisescribe7: how much memory do you have? [02:11] hey guys, i have ubuntu 19.04. When i type do-release-upgrade in the console it says there isn't a new version. Why don't i get the new version ? [02:11] sarnold: 4GB RAM [02:11] ph88: usually the metadata file that says "it's time to upgrade" is updated a few days after release [02:12] aw [02:12] sarnold: This is a pretty old machine I'm using. Lenovo ThinkCentre m58p, Core 2 Duo 2.33 ghz, 4GB RAM. [02:13] ph88: you can try do-release-upgrade -d -- I'm not positive it'll work (since the -d normally means 'devel') but it's worth a try :) [02:13] it'll work [02:13] ph88, upgrade to 19.10 showed up for after following instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseNotes [02:13] wisescribe7: so, some of the snap profiles cause a *lot* of memory use when apparmor compiles the security policy. I *think* you might have hit this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1848567 [02:13] *for me* [02:14] Launchpad bug 1848567 in snapd "autogenerated per-snap snap-update-ns apparmor profile may contain many duplicate mount rules causing excessive parser memory usage" [Undecided,New] [02:14] eoan is the most recent thing in https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development so for now -d will work [02:14] dax: oh cool, thanks :) [02:14] ph88, run: /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk -d [02:14] (do-release-upgrade without -d is the same URL without the -development bit) [02:17] sarnold: So then, what do you suggest that I do in order to rectify this? [02:17] wisescribe7: I'm not sure. you could try adding more swap and hoping it eventually finishes. you could uninstall snap applications. you could uninstall snapd. there's not many good choices. :( [02:18] sarnold: I'm primarily a Windows user, and have no idea how to do any of that. [02:19] wisescribe7: try "apt purge snapd" and let me know how that goes [02:19] sarnold: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." [02:20] wisescribe7: ugh. okay. [02:20] sarnold, looks like [02:20] sarnold: And then when I run this 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' command, that's what causes the software update, and Ubuntu freezing when it tries to update apparmor [02:21] wisescribe7: yeah.. [02:21] sarnold, 'apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop' should do what I want but it doesn't, it doesn't reinstall all dependencies in ubuntu-desktop meta package [02:21] thx guys [02:21] emilson: did it report partial installed packages needing to be finished or similar? [02:22] wisescribe7: so.. how about this, snap list to see the installed snaps, and then snap .. remove? snap delete? snap purge? the various packages that are installed through snap [02:22] sarnold, it just doesn't do anything: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [02:23] emilson: alright, that's a good sign. [02:23] sarnold, somebody from 2009 tried to do what I need :p https://gourgi.wordpress.com/2009/09/27/re-install-ubuntu-desktop-metapackage-and-reinstall-its-dependencies/ [02:24] Can I PM you what showed up when I typed snap list? [02:24] sarnold [02:24] for example I have Shotwell removed, i would expect ubuntu-desktop to reinstall that back for me, I have more stuff missing that i haven't noticed yet or i don't know about [02:25] wisescribe7: probably better to use a pastebin site like https://paste.ubuntu.com/ -- it'lll be much faster [02:25] emilson: heh, nice, I was just debating if parsing the Depends: line or parsing apt-rdepends output would be better. there's 1100 dependencies from "gnome" though. sooooo.. [02:26] sarnold, i don't think 'apt-get install gnome' is default on Ubuntu, Ubuntu is customized when compared to Gnome 3 in other distros, I know that proper way to install gnome3 on e.g. Ubuntu server is to use 'tasksel' utlity [02:27] e.g. tasksel install ubuntu-desktop^ [02:27] emilson: hmm, this bit is wrong though "sudo apt-get build-dep ubuntu-desktop" --- this installs whatever is necessary to REBUILD the package, not everything that it uses at runtime [02:28] sarnold, i tried 'apt-get build-dep ubuntu-desktop' but it doesn't work as expected, it didn't even pickup Shotwell :( [02:28] i will try this https://askubuntu.com/questions/673789/reinstall-all-dependancies-of-a-single-package [02:28] emilson: try this one: sudo apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk -F ":" '{print $2}' | \ [02:28] sed '/^$/d' | xargs sudo apt-get \ [02:28] install --reinstall --install-recommends --yes [02:29] emilson: that askubuntu answer looks decent too [02:30] sarnold, pacman in archlinux basically can do this with 'pacman -S --needed gnome' but I like Ubuntu/Debian way more [02:32] emilson: normally it's enough to use debsums to find a package with changed file and then reinstall that one.. [02:32] uhoh poor wisescribe7 :( [02:50] sarnold, so i didn't like that command from askubuntu.com/questions/* because it was reinstalling everything [02:50] i came up with this apt show ubuntu-desktop 2> /dev/null | grep 'Depends: ' | sed -e 's/Depends: //g' | tr -d ',' [02:51] basically i need to loop through that list and check with 'dpkg-query -l' and if it returns 1 i need 'apt-get install' missing package(s) [02:54] something like: for p in $(apt show ubuntu-desktop 2> /dev/null | grep 'Depends: ' | sed -e 's/Depends: //g' | tr -d ','); do if [$(dpkg-query -l $p) -eq 0]; then apt-get install $p ; fi; done [02:54] but the syntax on 'if' statement is wrong [03:00] /mode turbokitty +i === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [03:56] A word to the wise: remove the Workspaces to Dock gnome shell extension before upgrading to 19.10. Once 19.10 is installed, the Activities menu will hang the desktop until you've uninstalled that extension. [03:59] Is there an app that keeps ubuntu from going to sleep/locking? [04:01] Caffiene. It should be in the software center. [04:01] davido_, that doesn't work for me in 19.04 [04:02] how are events handled in ubuntu anyway? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [04:04] Hi! So, I'm running 19.10 (Eoan) with the proprietary NVidia drivers on my laptop. My understanding was that nvidia-docker "just worked" out of the box, and I could use Cuda applications in Docker containers without doing anything else. This doesn't seem to be true, anyone know more? [04:07] cluelessperson: have you looked at the settings ? [04:08] tatertots, of? [04:10] cluelessperson: are you on Gnome? If so, there's a Caffeine Gnome Shell Extension. [04:10] Jake-abc, yes, is caffeine not made for gnome? [04:11] cluelessperson: are you chatting from 19.04 right now? [04:11] He suggested it doesn't work on 19.04. I think that's probably a misstatement; it works for me, under 19.04. So a more interesting question is why it's not working for *him* under 19.04. [04:11] tatertots, yes [04:12] cluelessperson: I don't know, but the extension works for me (on 19.10, at least): [04:12] davido_, it's just a regular install of 19.04 [04:12] https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/517/caffeine/ [04:12] I didn't do anything special [04:13] cluelessperson: open terminal> gnome-control-center [04:13] cluelessperson: press ENTER [04:13] cluelessperson: click "Power" section [04:13] tatertots, why? [04:15] ugh, why is gnome integrated into the browser? [04:15] cluelessperson: just keep trying..it'll do what you want eventually [04:15] that's a terrible idea. [04:16] tatertots, ? [04:16] tatertots, the problem isn't that I haven't looked at the power settings, the problem is that the software meant to interupt whatever events "isnt' working" === victorqueiroz is now known as graphicsv [04:17] ROFL. I didn't like that, at first, either, but there are a lot of useful extensions. [04:18] Jake-abc, browsers are widely considered to be insecure, unsafe, and the largest attack vector on any machine. [04:18] Jake-abc, integrating control over the installation of software, directly from the browser, is just a terrible, terrible idea. [04:19] It also gives power to the owner/creator of that browser (in this case google) over what's installed on your machine. [04:21] cluelessperson: have you installed any other versions of Ubuntu or a completely different Linux distribution on the same computer in the past?...or have you only used 19.04? [04:21] I used 18.04 until I bought this new machine and installed 19.04 on it [04:22] cluelessperson: maybe you could try experimenting a little with other versions and distributions to determine if you run into the same or similar set of challenges [04:24] cluelessperson: If you don't want to install a browser add-on to work with extensions, I think you can download and install them manually and then enable the extension(s) in the Tweaks tool. [04:25] Or boot to 19.04 with a live USB drive and see if you can replicate the behavior there. If not, something's different between your installed system and the thumbdrive image. If you can replicate the behavior, you'll have confirmed that there's something related to Ubuntu 19.04 with your hardware that needs to be investigated. [04:26] davido_, I reinstalled with a freshly downloaded iso and found the same results. [04:26] There are some quirks with my hardware, some of which I haven't brought up because I know they'll be gotten to eventually. [04:27] cluelessperson: I think they're in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ or something like that. [04:27] anyone know what this is? [04:27] Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding of keysym 33 with keysym 33 [04:29] I feel kinda frustrated [04:29] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=245058 [04:29] cluelessperson: you installed the exact same thing, then expected a different result? [04:29] I don't know how to help improve these things. [04:30] cluelessperson: have you thought about installing something "different" [04:30] tatertots, are you reading the same conversation? [04:32] 99th time is a charm [04:34] tatertots, I have been experimenting. Ubuntu 18.04 is the most state I've found so far, but 19.04 has features I require, although I forget which at the moment those were. [04:34] most stable* [04:35] Does 19.10 have those features? If you boot from a 19.10 usb, does the behavior manifest itself there? [04:36] Do you by chance know how to rip out Caribou from gnome? [04:37] odd question. i built a computer. did not install any sort of wireless card, yet i have wifi. what can i do to figure out what device is providing wifi? [04:38] glitchd, what type of motherboard? [04:38] glitchd: perform an system analysis [04:38] glitchd, `lshw | grep wifi -B10 -A5` [04:39] asrock x570 [04:40] cluelessperson, that command does not return anything [04:40] glitchd, that motherboard comes with `Intel® Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax (2.4Gbps) + BT 5.0` [04:40] cluelessperson, i find that slightly odd since i dont have wifi in w10 [04:41] i put this computer together maybe a month and a half ago [04:41] this is the first time ive noticed the option to enable wifi in linux [04:41] glitchd, https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X570%20Taichi/ [04:41] glitchd: if your motherboard documentation says it has onboard wifi...it has onbaord wifi [04:41] :P [04:41] thats not exactly the motherboard i have [04:42] i have the "x570 phantom gaming 4" version [04:42] glitchd: and have you looked at the documentation yet?....and seen it includes on board wifi [04:43] the box says that it can use an m.2 key e for wifi but also states that it is not included [04:43] glitchd: sudo apt install inxi sosreport [04:43] glitchd: let me know when done [04:44] od, that MB says it has a slot for a wifi card, not that it has built in wifi [04:44] exactly [04:44] tatertots, done [04:45] glitchd: in terminal> inxi -Fxxprzc0|nc termbin.com 9999 [04:45] glitchd, well, it's either built into the MB, your bluetooth card, or you added a card yourself. :P [04:46] or perhaps wifi shows up as an option, but it doesn't populate? [04:46] glitchd: share url/link here, there's nothing sensitive in the url so no need to get all paranoid...if you paranoid just be patient the answers will fall in your lap [04:46] https://termbin.com/k7yn [04:47] tatertots: I hope you're able to "ketchup" and use 19.10. Ba dum ching. [04:47] davido_, I'll take a look at 19.10 later, thanks for the suggestion [04:47] glitchd: you're NOT using wifi ... [04:47] glitchd: you're hardwired to the network [04:48] tatertots: oh, sorry, ignore that last remark. [04:48] the only thing i can think of that might be giving wifi (but would make no sense) is that i have an xbox one wireless adapter to use my controller wirelessly, other than that i have no thing else plugged into the machine [04:48] glitchd: via Intel I211 Gigabit Network Connection [04:48] glitchd: so i'm glad we put that to bed [04:48] tatertots, i know, but i have an option to use wifi, and when i enable it, it finds and connects to my wifi network [04:48] glitchd: errors in human perception [04:48] cluelessperson: Also look at the github repo for Caffeine. Maybe you could file an Issue: https://github.com/eonpatapon/gnome-shell-extension-caffeine [04:48] I have errors in human perception sometimes [04:49] Or clone and install from source to get the newest version, though it hasn't been updated in 6 months so you may already be on the latest. [04:49] ha [04:49] so because caribou (the on screen keyboard) comes on screen even though it's disabled, there's an extension to block it [04:49] https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1326/block-caribou/ [04:49] tatertots, now im connected to my wifi https://termbin.com/x11y [04:50] glitchd, how are you determining that you're connected to wifi? [04:50] glitchd: sudo sosreport [04:50] glitchd: your first name=glit lastname=chd [04:50] cluelessperson, by the fact that it shows connected in the system tray [04:50] glitchd: press enter repeatedly until it begins [04:51] glitchd: let me know when done [04:52] tatertots, its running now [04:52] tatertots, it just finished [04:54] glitchd: sudo chown 1000:1000 /tmp/so* [04:54] glitchd: you won't see anything just let me know when done [04:54] tatertots, done [04:55] glitchd: sudo mv /tmp/so* ~/. [04:55] glitchd: you won't see anything just let me know when done [04:55] glitchd: look in home folder [04:56] glitchd: see it? [04:56] yes [04:56] glitchd: upload it to https://filebin.net [04:57] glitchd: share url/link [04:58] tatertots, uhhh.....i dont know about that. im not even sure what all is contained in that file, or what information it gathered from my system. [04:59] glitchd: okay...duckduckgo and google are going to be your best resources...good luck [04:59] tatertots, thx for the intended help [04:59] glitchd: you're still hardwired to the network btw [04:59] tatertots, i know. [05:04] davido_, thanks btw. [05:04] Jake-abc, and you. [05:04] tatertots, and you. xD [05:04] cluelessperson: yw. [05:04] * cluelessperson needs to learn c++ and help out sort these things [05:05] That Github repo was all JS, I think. [05:05] Hmm [05:06] Can anyone recommend a channel for LAMP and/or web dev questions? [05:07] What does P stand for in your stack? [05:07] davido_, php [05:08] Start with a php channel probably then. (P has become ambiguous these days, so I really was asking seriously) :) [05:09] davido_ , thanks. I don't know Perl so sometimes I forget that it exists. LOL. [05:10] I do think your best bet is to start with #php, then (if PHP were ever a good bet -- just kidding) [05:10] Jake-abc, I'm happy to help if I can [05:11] Jake-abc, there's #css #design #httpd (apache) [05:11] cluelessperson: thank you, as well. I'm happy to ask here, as well, but some people frown on such things. Hahah. [05:12] Jake-abc, feel free to mention which channel you do ask in :P [05:13] Well, I am using Ubuntu server, so I'll start here... if no one strenuously objects. [05:18] I have a VPS running Ubuntu server that's on 16.04 LTS. My goal is to upgrade to 18.04 LTS. I just started a new VPS instance and restored a snapshot of the old one to the new instance. Then, I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04. At first, PHP wasn't quite working, but it seems to be okay, now. However, when I log into phpmyadmin, I am getting a warning: "Warning in ./libraries/sql.lib.php#613 count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements [05:18] Countable" [05:19] What version of PHP was running on the old vps vs the new one? Core libraries may have been restored that were specific to the older version. [05:19] (BTW, obviously, the new VPS instance has a different IP address from the old one.) [05:21] I'm thinking I'll keep the old VPS instance active, for the time being, anyway. But my question is whether in your experience I should cautiously move ahead with testing the new instance, or whether it would prevent a lot of headaches to just spin a new instance and install everything from scratch. [05:21] Option B. You've probably got library mismatches that will be hard to sort out. [05:22] The catch is that, of course, it could save a lot of time in config, etc., to just work from the restored instance. The main site running on the instance is using Wordpress. [05:23] davido_, I think I was on PHP 7.0 on the old instance. Let me double-check... [05:28] davido_: old instance is on PHP 7.0.33-0ubuntu0.16.04.6 (cli) ( NTS ), Apache/2.4.18. [05:29] Jake-abc: does your VPS provider support or provide 18.04?... [05:29] Really I'd build it up from a clean VPS with a fresh install of PHP, then drop in the site, and install themes / plugins toward the end of the process (unless they're crucial for the site to run). Each has its own compatibility challenges. [05:30] tatertots: yeah, they offer 18.04, but I just restored the old snapshot (w/ 16.04) and then upgraded. [05:31] Or stick with what's already working. Many providers will go to great lengths to not force their users to upgrade the underlying OS without good reason. [05:31] davido_: yeah, that's kind of what I figured, but was hoping to save some effort. LOL. Thanks for the dose of relaity. [05:31] I work for a VPS provider but probably not yours. [05:32] Jake-abc: you could certainly burn a bunch of time and energy trying to straighten out the mess...but you should probably start fresh with a base image of 18.04 and set things up again from scratch [05:33] Jake-abc: else you'll just be potentially compounding problems into problems which means a endless cycle of ?'s that only lead you to another ? [05:33] davido_: I figured it was better to move to 18.04 right now while I was feeling motivated, rather than waiting until the last minute when support stops. [05:34] i have the cursor/pointer not working even... how to ? [05:34] davido_: FYI, I use Vultr. ;) [05:34] it's not an arrow pointer... cross one [05:35] tatertots: that's pretty much what I thought but wanted to check with other's who might have more experience than me. Thanks for the honest feedback. [05:36] We once updated 2.2M users' PHP and WP versions with almost no rise in support contacts, but it was a 6 month project getting the ducks in a row first to assure we didn't cause anyone downtime. [05:40] got to run. good night. [05:41] davido_: thanks. [05:42] I'm gonna run, too. Good night, and thanks to everyone! [05:42] tatertots: thanks, and good night! [05:48] Oh, wait, I'm back. One last quick question: [05:49] tatertots: come to think of it, I'm guessing at this point, it's a better use of time to just wait until April (20.04LTS) instead of worrying about 18.04, at this point? [06:00] Jake-abc: yeah if it's nothing time sensitive or mission critical....waiting isn't a bad thing [06:01] Jake-abc: upgrading from one LTS release to the next usually takes less work than upgrading across two LTS releases at once. 16.04 -> 18.04 is a big jump in server terms (netplan was introduced, systemd becomes ubiquous, amongst other), 18.04 to 20.04 will likely be less of a change. if you're motivated now, have the time, and actually see it as a learning experience, then i'd just do it now, and do it again when 20.04 releases. this way you get [06:01] twice the learning experience, and an easier upgrade path. [06:01] but tatertots is also right, it all boils down to your personal preferences. [06:02] anything wrong at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205237 ? [06:02] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 205237 in Config-Other "Kernel needs a special argument to function on HP Pavillion x360 13 inch" [Normal,New] [06:02] * Ilgaz sent a kernel bug report first time [06:04] Ilgaz, i think a typo > 16.10 ( 19.10?) [06:04] oops thanks [06:05] anyway, just acpi_osi= might need a value [06:05] tatertots: thank you. [06:05] tomreyn: thank you, as well. Good night, everyone. [06:05] no prob [06:05] OerHeks: no, it requires no value after equal sign, strangest thing ever [06:06] If it wasn't such a strange bug, there would be 2 pages describing this workaround. I have seen 1 :-) [06:06] I was trying to boot into linux for 3 years now [06:07] https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [06:07] acpi_osi=Windows 2015 perhaps? [06:09] What I have read is, Linux by default claims it is Windows because of these stupid vendors. When I put nothing after equal, it responds as null? [06:10] This machine is clearly designed for Windows with dedicated Windows illumunated button, broadcom wireless etc. [06:12] OerHeks: I notice all acpi functionality such as battery, wireless, screen backlight are fine. I shouldn't experiment any further right? [06:12] well, if it does not boot, i would try? [06:17] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qRNk9ShjPg/ [06:17] acpi output. [06:18] i would try first: acpi_osi=Windows 2013 [06:18] so you'd boot with this: acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2009" [06:19] or start with 2013, yes: acpi_osi=! "acpi_osi=Windows 2013" [06:19] ah, one should take the first one? [06:19] OerHeks: you're right about starting with the latest, i'm still sleepy [06:22] OK just run the script from the page [06:22] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2013\"" [06:23] looks good [06:23] dont forget about update-grub [06:25] Hi, i've set a static ip but everytime i boot up i have to login and enter "ifup eno1" before the internet is working. any ideas? [06:26] sounds like wrong static ip [06:27] styler2go: what's your ubuntu version, how did you configure it? [06:27] no gateway, or dns [06:27] tomreyn, it's ubuntu 19 i think [06:27] !yy.mm | styler2go [06:27] styler2go: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [06:28] Ubuntu 19.04 (GNU/Linux 5.0.0-31-generic x86_64) [06:28] (server version so no gui) [06:28] It didn't boot, if you don't claim any Windows, it boots. Zero feedback either, not even a cursor. I am not adding this to my kernel bug report, better not to confuse things further [06:29] Ilgaz: also try the others, though [06:29] Ilgaz, you could add that you tried this? [06:30] nmcli d and nmcli c: https://p.styler2go.de/1695245 [06:30] Ilgaz: for trying the others, you can just reboot now, bring up the grub menu, press "e" to edit and go to the end of the "linux" line and change it there, then boot it by pressing ctrl-x [06:30] So eh, the authentication required (for root) somehow got stuck on my screen while the program starting it is not running anymore (as far as I can see). Any clicks on the dialog ends up on the underlying window. Anyone know how to forcibly kill that dialog? [06:31] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="verbose pci=biosirq acpi=" [06:31] styler2go: "unmanaged". server defaults to using systemd-networkd [06:31] That works, I am not mentioning pci=biosirq since it is a workaround for evil broadcom closed source thing [06:32] tomreyn, isn't that "just" using the /etc/network/interfaces? [06:32] Yxhuvud, hold windows key, l.mouse would grab window to drag away [06:33] styler2go: no, /etc/network/interfaces is actually deprecated [06:33] OerHeks: still only seems to hit the underlying window. [06:33] tomreyn, what's the current way [06:33] tomreyn: Currently even my screen backlight is adjustable with special keys, this weird machine just requires = perhaps? [06:33] !releasenotes | styler2go [06:33] styler2go: For release notes of a given Ubuntu release, please refer to the 'Docs' column on the 'List of releases' table at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [06:34] Ilgaz: you will know when you tried these two more options ;) [06:34] That is, I can move all other windows out of the way so that it is only desktop background (and leftside bar, as it is) beneath it [06:36] and the dock doesn't seem to affect it - if I move it to the right side there is no difference. the dialog is still on the topleft corner. [06:36] Yxhuvud, and what program causes this? [06:36] Oerheks: I have no idea. It was there when I woke up this morning. It wasn't there went I went to bed. [06:36] Yxhuvud: does this list anything? ps auxw | grep pk [06:37] other than the grep itself [06:37] no, only itself [06:37] The text description seems to point at update-manager, but it is not (currently) running [06:37] did you say which ubuntu verison this is? [06:38] Should be 19.10. But there was some issues while upgrading. I still have to manually restart gdm3 after boot, so there are some weirdness. [06:39] tomreyn, using netplan yaml config it works now, even after reboot. thanks for the network/interfaces hint [06:39] Yxhuvud: it will either be something from policykit (sometimes abbreviated 'pk') or something like sudo [06:40] styler2go: nice, you're welcome [06:41] Ilgaz: had you looked for a bios upgrade, too? [06:41] tomreyn: hmm, but I do find some policykit stuff when I do ps. I'll look into what those are. [06:44] Yxhuvud: something else you can do it to move all windows below this prompt out of the way, then run ps auxw;xkill in a temrinal, then click on the prompt to kill the process which created it. you'll then see the process id it had in your terminal and can look it up on the "ps auxw" output to understand what this process was. [06:47] Ilgaz: oh you have the latest already. [06:48] Interesting. Doesn't seem to register as a window though - clicking on the dialog, including on the cancel button which actually react on hover, behaves the same as clickon on desktop [06:50] Yxhuvud: hmm that's maybe just a window manager issue then as a result of the failed / incomplete upgrade you mentioned. did you try to complete the upgrade, yet? [06:51] Yxhuvud: alternatively, you could do a fresh install now that 19.10 is released [06:53] I cleaned up the packages that didn't want to upgrade and as far as I can see everything seems to think everything is in order and I havn't managed to find a command that actually wants to upgrade. I suppose I can wait a while until new versions of packages come out - that has fixed similar issues (to the nonstarting dm) in the past. [06:53] Hey, is there any way right now to still upgrade from 17.04 to LTS or even 19.10? I had a laptop lying around and now it seems I'm locked out. [06:53] does any1 know where I can get some nightly docker containers for the latest nightly builds on ubuntu? [06:54] Furai, 17.04 > 17.10 ( also EOL) > 18.04 ?? i would backup data and reinstall [06:55] Yxhuvud: so apt update reports no errors or warnings and apt full-upgrade reports neither errors nor warnings and also says that no packages are held back or pending? [06:55] Yxhuvud: you'd need to run those with sudo, i didn't point this out [06:56] right [06:56] Hi! Does anyone have experience with converting a GPT Bios system to UEFI? Apparently my mobo decided to boot the installer in csm mode, and I didn't realize until now. [06:57] that is, right - no warnings. Anyhow, thanks for your time. I'll have to go to work now. Will dig more into it this evening or tomorrow or so. [06:57] OerHeks, that's what i figured out after searching the net. Though I still wanted to ask hese. [06:58] here* [06:58] Thanks. [06:58] ClawOfLight: probably here https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/ [06:58] ClawOfLight: sorry that wasnt for you [06:59] entropygain: probably here https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/ [07:00] tomreyn: when looking at the tags the last updated is 2 months ago [07:02] there is also https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/daily/ which seems to be the source for those, but i don't know the process which is used to transform those into docker images. [07:04] entropygain: actually the web page i pointed you to initially states those are built from https://partner-images.canonical.com/core/ - so i don't know. [07:07] ClawOfLight: the only way i know is to boot into another system, such as the installer / live system, in uefi mode, then mount file systems (including virtual file systems) as needed and chroot into the previosu installation and install the packages required for uefi booting, and regenrate the initramfs. [07:08] ClawOfLight: so if it's a fresh installation, and you won't loose data (you can't easily backup beforehand), you may actually want to just reinstall while booted in uefi mode instead. [07:15] How to solve this https://imgur.com/a/hEVwrTK [07:15] tomreyn: I have enough stuff setup that it would be nice to keep the system if possible, but I'm also just really curious about this now that I thought about it :) [07:15] too many redirects [07:16] happened to v18 earlier, but not any longer, 18 and 19 works fine, just 16 that shows too many redirects when downloading using torrent [07:17] I found this: https://serverfault.com/questions/963178/how-do-i-convert-my-linux-disk-from-mbr-to-gpt-with-uefi, which looks promising. I'm now learning how to resize LVM PVs and the underlying partition in order to make room for the ESP. === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner [07:21] ClawOfLight: i'm not sure whether step 14 can succeed while not booted in uefi mode, but it's certainly worth a try. [07:24] could "too many redirects" have anything to do with that i have DHT disabled in my utorrent client? [07:24] hi, there is a way to remove the infinite xdg-open keep asking me what to do with a magnet link? [07:25] tomreyn: ty [07:27] dzragon, I think not. This is Utorrent? [07:28] utorrent, windows torrent client [07:28] dzragon, You should probably ask Utorrent forum or channel if they have one. [07:28] yeah [07:29] dzragon, Why do you have DHT disabled? [07:30] akemhp_: https://imgur.com/a/oEnAquK [07:30] Because its not allowed where i usually download things. [07:31] I just found it weird that all other Linux isos i have downloaded from their respective sites, all work. [07:32] Downloading the iso from ftp / http works fine though. [07:33] Not allowed? I can't see how/why. But yeah i don't know why your Ubuntu 16.04 torrents are stuck anyway... [07:34] tomreyn: I resized the PV and underlying primary partition. Does this change the UUID of my root partition, which is an LVM partition under that PV? [07:34] dzragon, so it is a windows issue, torrenting on ipv6? [07:34] 'cause I would really like to be able to reboot safely^^ [07:34] OerHeks: Could be. Ill try it in Linux with some client and let you know. [07:35] my bet it is a ipv6 thing, logically [07:37] any of you have answer to that? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58035471/xdg-open-without-an-option-to-remember [07:37] i have the same issue [07:37] but on 18.04.3 [07:37] ClawOfLight: file system UUIDs (which i think is what you're wonfering about) change when file systems change. so if you resized an LV *with the -r / --resize option* or resized a file system directly, you'll need to update the UUID in fstab (if any) to match what blkid reports. [07:38] OerHeks: https://imgur.com/a/Sgne9JC And of course it worked. Hah, thanks. I was going to try that next, but you hurried me on. [07:39] Must be that i setup ipv6 on my Edgerouter4 [07:39] tomreyn: i think we noticed a recent xdg-open bug recently, can you check if its your case? bug #1848335 [07:39] bug 1848335 in xdg-utils (Ubuntu) "xdg-open (and others) don't handle spaces in directory names properly" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1848335 [07:40] ok ubottu [07:40] tomreyn: I see. Luckily the VG had enough unallocated space, so I didn't shrink any LVs, only the PV. [07:41] lotuspsychje: are you asking whether i can repro it? [07:42] ubottu: this should a be a solution? https://support.google.com/chrome/forum/AAAAP1KN0B0y8gzy87Z3j8/?hl=uk [07:42] tommy``: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:42] tomreyn: oops sorry, wrong highlight [07:42] that was for tommy`` [07:42] oh ok ;) [07:43] I assume blkid doesn't show the correct partuuids since the old partition table is still in place, but hopefully it would catch if a filesystem uuid had changed? [07:43] s/in place/in effect/ [07:43] ah ok sorry lotuspsychje :D [07:44] i didn't see any bug, i only noticed that xdg-open continues to ask me if i want add magnet link [07:44] and there isn't the possibility to store the choice [07:45] does anyone know how i can route all my tcp traffic to a socks proxy? looking for something similar to proxifier [07:46]
