[00:01] johnjbogle1: any relation to vanguard? :) [00:34] Evening all, upgarded to 19.10 and holding the mouse buton gives me a visual indicator; any idea on how to disable this? [00:44] The Git User’s Manual[1] <== dont know how to man it [00:45] I'm in a bind. Somehow, half the packages on my system have become dependant on libllvm8 installed from a third party repository, and I can't figure out how to uninstall it without it taking half my system with it. [00:46] AlexMax: an apt policy libllvm8 should show you the versions available [00:47] okay, how do i revert to the ubuntu version? [00:47] I found the proper one [00:47] AlexMax: with those version numbers you ought to be able to do something like apt install libllvm8=verfromubuntu libllvm8=verfromelsewhere- -- I'm *hoping* the - will work to tell apt to uninstall that other one [00:48] oh I didn't even need the minus [00:48] The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: libllvm8 [00:48] OH [00:48] very handy [00:49] sarnold: if this works, thank you very much [00:50] AlexMax: if this doesn't do it, you can probably use the ppa-purge package to do the job. it's a bit of a blunt instrument though [00:51] sarnold: It worked! I can install steam again, finally! [00:51] AlexMax: yay :) [00:52] sarnold: Thank you so much for your help. [00:52] AlexMax: you're welcome, have fun :) [00:52] I really wish that apt was smart enough to automatically know to downgrade it. [00:53] AlexMax: it *might* be; there's a chance apt install libllvmv8/bionic would have done it too [00:53] I've set my screen to goto sleep after 1 min, but it never goes to sleep, what should I I be checking to troubleshoot this [00:53] AlexMax: the apt forktracer tool is handy for spotting some simmilar situations, but I don't think this one [00:54] jjgalvez6500: xset q will show you the current dpms settings [00:57] sarnold, the screen saver section says Screen Saver: [00:57] prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes [00:57] timeout: 0 cycle: 0 [00:57] jjgalvez6500: look further down, that's for putting a pretty animation onthe screen [00:58] jjgalvez6500: if you want the monitor to sleep, that's dpms [00:58] <[Polybius]> im trying to download the ricochet-im on ubuntu but i cant find the package anywhere, any help? [00:58] <[Polybius]> locate only finds two png files [00:59] [Polybius]: try apt install ricochet-im [00:59] sarnold, at this point i'd be happy if it just went blank which it isn't even doing [00:59] <[Polybius]> is that a joke? [00:59] basically it never goes blank [00:59] [Polybius]: no, that's the name of the package http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cdj4NwGHRn/ [01:00] jjgalvez6500: what's the dpms settings look like? [01:00] <[Polybius]> i have already installed ricochet-im. and double checked it to confirm [01:00] sarnold, DPMS (Energy Star): [01:00] Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 [01:00] DPMS is Enabled [01:00] Monitor is On [01:00] [Polybius]: success? [01:02] jjgalvez6500: try these commands, one at a time, to see which ones your monitor responds to: xset dpms force standby ; xset dpms force suspend ; xset dpms force off [01:02] <[Polybius]> pool/universe/r/ricochet-im/ no such directory pool [01:02] <[Polybius]> wtf [01:05] sarnold, neither command did anything [01:05] <[Polybius]> closest thing i have to a universe directory that i can see is ubuntu-bionic-universe and its the child of a "icons" dir. [01:06] <[Polybius]> like a pseudo path [01:06] [Polybius]: what are you trying to do? the package is indeed on the mirrors, if your mirror doesn't have it, then that might be worth fixing: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/ricochet-im/ -- but you said you already had it installed? [01:06] jjgalvez6500: hmm. if none of those commands worked maybe your monitor doesn't do DPMS :( [01:06] <[Polybius]> define a mirror for me. [01:07] jjgalvez6500: Arw you using the default ubuntu gnome desktop? In that case try the key combination Super+L [01:07] sarnold, how about how do I at least get the screen to blank so it locks the screen, right now its not even locking the screen [01:08] [Polybius]: ubuntu packages are distributed on 'the archive servers' -- there's only a handful of them in the united states and united kingdom, so it's quite common for people to use a "local mirror" run by someone close by; those archive mirrors usually copy all the new packages every now and then.. [01:08] <[Polybius]> 18.0.4 i assume, im not very familier with what the gnome project is [01:08] jjgalvez6500: depends upon what desktop environment you're using, if any [01:09] gnome [01:09] jjgalvez6500: I lock my screen by manually running i3lock when I leave, but that wouldn't work well with gnome, for example [01:09] <[Polybius]> ookay so i should be able to get the mirror from that link [01:09] [Polybius]: yes but I'm starting to suspect when you said you wanted to download ricochet-im that you might have meant something other than "how do I install ricochet-im" [01:11] sarnold, I can lock it manually, but it won't timeout [01:11] <[Polybius]> at that moment i was trying to find it. apt install ricochet-im was sucessful so i assumed if i atleast found the file that i could figure it out from there [01:11] <[Polybius]> amd64 is the link i need im assuming [01:12] [Polybius]: yeah most people have an amd64 machine [01:14] OerHeks: I went to the dollar store for a 25ft stereo extension cable. The hell with bluetooth. [01:14] <[Polybius]> ahh i have it. big help thanks [01:15] Grovosky: hah :) [01:15] I've thought that many times.. [01:15] its like the system is never idle so the idle timeer never gets triggered [01:19] jjgalvez6500: hmm. I don't know how to get the system to report 'idle' time === zbenjamin is now known as Guest43771 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:37] sarnold, found the offending program Riot was keeping it from going idle, not sure what it was doing but killing the process fixed the issue [01:37] jjgalvez6500: woo! [01:38] jjgalvez6500: sucks, but nice :D [01:38] jjgalvez6500: thanks for reporting back, it's always nice to hear :) [01:38] time for me to go start the weekend [01:39] me too thanks for the help [01:39] I'm trying to play an unmaintained 32bit game (https://www.locomalito.com/juegos/EFMB_linux.tar.gz) on 19.10, and running 'ldd runner | grep "not found"' on the executable gives me this https://termbin.com/umwo. I've already installed lib32z1, and I have about 15 more lines that resolve to existing files. What should I install to get these libraries onboard? === jcrypt is now known as jcryptfs [01:41] in particular, libssl is not to be found [01:41] I have already managed to install the :i386 versions of the other two [01:44] maybe Ben64 knows ^^he's our game wizard [01:44] Thanks, lotuspsychje. I keep googling but to no avail. [01:56] Its been two days since ubuntu 19.10 release and I haven't received the update yet [02:03] @sarnold: none [02:04] @sarnold: i wish! :) [02:11] So my issue is that my ubuntu/unity is bricked. I was updating my ubuntu to the new version (at the direction of a linux expert friend), and it caused a bunch of problems. [02:15] hey guys, do you recommend snap or Apt for deployments for lxd? [02:16] murthy: final was just released, updates are all new? [02:16] lotuspsychje: final? [02:16] system is up to date [02:17] murthy: sounds logic after a new release? [02:17] a day could be logic, but two days? [02:17] my distro is Kubuntu [02:18] murthy: updates comes when needed, its not so weird 2 days without.. [02:19] Hi people, n00b here with Ubuntu. Having issue with the most basic of things... the downloaded ISO image is not readable. I've tried multiple browsers, restarted machine, not sure what else to do. system is up to date, all browsers are up to date. Not sure if this is even the right place to get this question answered as I can't get it downloaded on [02:19] a MacBook Pro. Not sure if I should be hitting up Apple [02:20] lotuspsychje: are you talking about regular package updates or distro update? [02:21] I mean new release? [02:21] murthy: you are on 19.10? [02:21] I was getting help from tomreyn and a few others, several days ago, but I had to log off before I could finish doing their various suggestions and instructions, and haven't been back online since then several days ago. But basically I was told to upgrade to the dev version to try to fix a problem I was having with the wifi on my machine not working -not detecting/displaying nearby open wifi connections, and the headphone jack not working. But now, [02:21] the speakers aren't even working either. So zero audio from headphones plugged in (tried multiple headsets), and zero audio from laptop speakers. I was using Unity as my main DE, and had Ubuntu and Ubuntu-Wayland, but now all I'm able to use is U.Wayland. When I try to log into Unity, I get a white/gray error page. I can reply later with exactly what it says, but its something like critical or fatal error. [02:21] lotuspsychje: I am on 19.04 [02:21] ah [02:22] murthy: next time, you need to mention that in your question, you want to upgrade... [02:22] !upgrade | murthy [02:22] lotuspsychje: ok [02:24] lotuspsychje: I am using quassel client with the core. I can't see the bot's message, only a desktop notificaiton of "!upgrade | murthy" did you make a typo? [02:24] johnjbogle1, just throwing that out there but I too had issues w/ my audio (changing of profiles whenever my machine was going in standby mode). Installing "pavucontrol" and disabling one of the two profiles finally fixed it for me. Maybe you'll want to give that a shot. [02:25] PS: am running 19.10 [02:25] murthy: factoids are not working atm [02:25] oh ok [02:26] lotuspsychje: I followed this article for upgrade https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EoanUpgrades/Kubuntu [02:28] Sorry guys, tried disconnecting my lan and doing over wifi... not having much success yet [02:29] Thanks, I'll put that in my notes to try later, but for now my main priority is: #1, fix my Unity DE. #2, fix the wifi not working. and then #3, fix audio not working. === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [02:34] so what does one do when trying to download a clean copy of Ubuntu and it keeps saying it's unreadable once it's downloaded? I am following the starter guides [02:39] how do i undo the changes done by sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop? [02:40] sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop possibly? [02:53] I want to instal libssl1.0.0 and libcrypto1.0.0 in 19.10 eoan from the archives of bionic or cosmic [02:53] what is the word I should be googling to find out how to do this safely? Is it "pinning"? [03:10] * johnjbogle1 waves hello [03:19] on 18.04 LTS, how do I do the equivalent of service networking restart to bounce the network stack so the hostname will change to the new one I set it to without restarting the system [03:21] hi, for a linux sys dirs what is a standard permission? [03:21] 750? [03:21] depends on the service @cocof , but 644 is common for web services. [03:22] is there no a single common permission? [03:22] for example when I install ubuntu by default what is it? [03:23] ... [03:24] Fallenour: ? [03:25] @cocof, again, typically its 644 for most things as a strong recommendation, unless its security related, then 640 [03:25] Id recommend playign with it though, and seeing if something like a service you need breaks, and adjust accordingly. [03:31] Dude you guys have got to be shitting me @canonical, you want me to use a YAML file to RESTART A SERVICE?! Id have to BUILD a YAML file just to use netplan just so I could bounce it, all to restart my network stack because of a hostname. Thisis why people are going to redhat in troves, or SUSE. You guys need to put Init.d back, and leave it be. [03:33] So I have a vendor Ubuntu ISO, how can I figure out what packages are pre-installed? [03:33] you change the manifest file @Manouchehri [03:33] its on the ISO [03:35] Fallenour: bto.xml? [03:36] Manouchehri, a default one is typically called manifest, but a vendor could have done anything, I couldnt say for sure. Search for package names that are common, like openssh-server, itll likely find it in the manifest file. Id recommend locate command. [03:37] does nayone know how to restart the network stack without rebooting for 18.04LTS? [03:38] sudo systemctl restart networking # maybe? [03:38] Im trying to change the dns name, and Ive tried changing /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, but it still doesnt work [03:38] I also tried systemctl restart networking.service, systemctl restart networking, and service networking restart, to no avail. [03:41] Here is the error I get when trying to log into Ubuntu-Unity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12YlrVOmodB8TUrnnvKJLdlvm8vmqcX0x/view?usp=sharing [03:43] Fallenour: This: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-hostname-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux help ? Is this a server where /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg is a factor ? [03:44] tried that already [03:45] trying cloud.cfg now. Not sure why anyone thought that adding YET ANOTHER inherited hostname config was a good idea [03:45] thisis the 4th time ive had to bring down CI/CD processes for prod just so I can change a damn hostname, this is so far beyond so not cool, its not even luke warm. Im rating this shit show as a morbid Iraqi Desert Hot Mess.

[04:17] aham [04:18] I create a new user from the terminal [04:18] and there is no problem here, but I would like to go back my old one because I installed all my things there [04:19] anyway I should do that on my terminal? about purge ? [04:20] jeloume: Yukkie - then there is a config issue within "your" account. I may be of little help, what desktop are you using ? [04:21] jeloume: Not a driver issue so purging video-intel will not prove effective :( [04:21] https://pastebin.com/zGw5VfZ0 [04:21] it all about my computer [04:22] uhm [04:28] I found someone who solved it and said "I created the xorg file (X -configure) then i changed intel to vesa under Monitor section." [04:28] jeloume: :) Gnome. Any hints when from the defective account you run ; sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-session gdm3 . No errors then reboot to see the effect. [04:29] okey, I'm gonna try it [04:29] jeloume: vesa is the fallback driver .. [04:35] Hi again, I still have the same issue :( [04:39] jeloume: :( any hints in the ~/.xsession-errors file ?

[04:43] e.e [04:44] ahhh [04:45] I think that happened when I tried to write `X -configure` [04:46] because I read from another post someone who said that he did it and something else I could solve it xD but nothing happens with me u.u It return that error [04:48] I think it's because of that the message [04:50] is it possible that if I do ` sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg` I can solve sth? e.e [04:51] jeloume: OK - that config file use is depreciated. what shows ' ls -al /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf ' - consider removing the config file ? [04:52] https://pastebin.com/NK2W37ta [04:53] I was thinking of removing `.XAuthority` [04:54] you mean if I consider to remove xorg.conf.d? [04:55] jeloume: Tes - but as the file does not exist there, what about '/etc/X11/xorg.conf ' ? [04:55] Yes* [04:57] I won't have any problem if I delete it?

Maybe read the file and understand what is set there. [05:01] jeloume: Sorry - misunderstood that the file existed :( [05:01] on .Xauthority? Just I see something like cookies [05:01] uhm [05:03] I think I didn't have before xorg just I installed because I found as solution to solve this [05:03] mm [05:05] jeloume: the .Xauthority gives "you" access rights to the desktop. So far as I am aware that file is valid. [05:05] ha [05:07] jeloume: You can quicly check with ' ls -al .ICEauthority .Xauthority ' that "you" are the owner and group assignments. [05:07] quickly* [05:07] yep [05:08] it could be that I can't login because of sth of that? or is another thing? [05:09] jeloume: I am out of ideas - I do not have the Gnome desktop experience :( [05:09] uhm [05:09] I was thinking of download archlinux xd [05:09] is it better?

[06:02] because I don't want to install all again xD [06:02] I mean now I must do it, but in the near future is it possible? [06:02] jeloume: sure: see ' apt show debfoster '. [06:03] omg I think there is sth wrong with my ubuntu Xd I open a new terminal but they appear on another tty [06:03] XD [06:04] is it ok? [06:04] jeloume: there are 8 ttys available.

Anyone having issues upgrading to 19.10 - Ive tried the terminal command "sudo do-release-upgrade -c -d", it tells me "New Release 19.10 available and to do the same command again to upgrade to it.. I do this and it says "No new release found". [09:50] I wonder why in GIMP, (Xubuntu 19.04) , every single tool is now grayed-out and not functioning? [09:55] When I select, say, renticular selection tool or press R, tool is selcted and functioning, but not when I press button for the tool in Gimp toolbox [09:55] I think some chnages in Ubuntu updates broke GIMP toolbox. Can anyone confirm this behavior? [10:08] nikolam: I cannot confirm that. Are you talking about gimp in 19.10? If you did an uppgrade from 19.04 to 19.10, maybe delete or rename .config/GIMP once to start the software with a clean configuration. [10:17] minimec, This is 19.04 as I know, haven't yet offered upgrade to 19.10 by itself. [10:17] ok, will check that after reboot, thanks [11:29] Hello all - does anyone know how I can get rid of the extra keypress required to login to my machine from the lockscreen, I understand it is a security feature but would like it if I could just walk up to my machine and swipe my fingerprint straight away without needing to press a space to show the login prompt [12:11] Hello, I'm using openbox and used arandr to place the position of 3 monitors , now I'm only on the laptop , how can I disable the xrandr setting? [12:14] netcrash: it's not clear what you mean by "now i'm only on the laptop", how's this different from the previous situation? [12:15] arandr is mostly just a frontend to xrandr, you can use either to change configurations. [12:16] netcrash: If you are lucky, 'xrandr --auto' does the trick.

[13:35] Hi folks [13:35] GPU* [13:35] what do I use to connect ubuntu to smart tv? [13:36] something simple that works via wifi [13:36] i need to check what is the situtation of my GPU? [13:36] is it well or will it be dead soom [13:36] ? [13:36] i dont think smart tv use ubuntu as OS [13:36] E: Unable to locate package miracas [13:36] locatedb [13:37] that package is not in repo cocof === cocof is now known as janitorB === littlebit1 is now known as littlebit === janitorB is now known as cocof === littlebit1 is now known as littlebit [14:39] Hi there, can I lock the screen settings? I have 2 screens and when I log in, one of them is at the wrong refresh rate and it's the main one. [14:40] Simounet: you can put an xrandr call to configure them correctly in ~/.xsessionrc [14:40] if you're using X you can also fix the settings in xorg.conf [14:41] ducasse: I would like to do this once and for all my users. [14:41] tomreyn: From /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d? [14:42] Simounet: then you need to use /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [14:42] no. there's an xorg.conf location in each users' $HOME and the system wide (but i think this is only used when running X as root) in /etc/Xorg [14:43] no. there's an xorg.conf location in each users' $HOME and the system wide (but i think this is only used when running X as root) in /etc/X11 [14:43] I don't have any of these files on /etc/X11. [14:43] $ ls /etc/X11/ [14:43] app-defaults cursors default-display-manager fonts rgb.txt xinit xkb Xreset Xreset.d Xresources Xsession Xsession.d Xsession.options xsm XvMCConfig Xwrapper.config [14:44] i am not able to login to system with tty i am able to login [14:44] gui mode not working ,it again ask for passwd again and again [14:44] ~/.local/share/xorg/ is the per user configuration location, i think [14:44] Simounet: ^ [14:44] tomreyn: I would like to lock it once and for all. [14:45] tomreyn: I have only log files into my user folder [14:45] Simounet: see the xorg.conf(5) for the different configuration file (xorg.conf) locations which Xorg searches depending on how it was started [14:46] a missing file does not mean that, would one exist, it would not be used. [14:46] I just updated to from 19.04 to 19.10 and my DNS is no longer working. I'm not sure where I should be looking to try to fix it. [14:46] tomreyn: I'll check that. Thanks! [14:46] waltman: desktop or server? [14:46] server [14:46] come join at #ubuntu-server mate [14:47] tomreyn: Can I print my current xorg.conf to copy/paste it into the /etc/X11 folder? [14:49] Simounet: while Xorg is *not* running (e.g. recovery, or the systemd target for single user mode whose name i keep forgetting) you can run Xorg --configure > xorg.conf to have it dumped after autoconfiguration. [14:49] tomreyn: But I can't dump my actual configuration? [14:50] samba35: your first sentence is lacking logic. [14:50] samba35: which graphical desktop are you using, which ubuntu version are you running, what may have happened causing this situation? [14:50] gdm3 [14:51] Simounet: maybe xrandr can, but i would not know how. [14:51] 18.04.3 [14:52] samba35: okay, gdm3 is your graphical login manager, and then you login to gnome-shell / mutter / the default ubuntu desktop? [14:52] tomreyn: Ok, thanks for you help. [14:53] sorry i did not get your quastion [14:53] I'm confused -- is the dns setup different for desktop and server? [14:53] how to reconfigure desktop [14:53] or fix login issuse? [14:54] tomreyn, sorry honeslty i did not get your point [15:00] samba35: i'm asking questions to understand how you approach fixing the situation you're describing. if you could answer the remining questions we can maybe make progress there. [15:02] ok [15:03] can you please tell me how we should make move ahead [15:04] samba35: okay, gdm3 is your graphical login manager, and then you login to gnome-shell / mutter / the default ubuntu desktop? [15:04] no ubuntu server [15:04] ... what may have happened causing this situation? [15:04] i was ask to ask quastion in ubuntu desktop [15:04] I want to change the keyboard layout used when entering the crypto passphrase when Ubuntu boots. Where do I do that? [15:05] if i boot with .65 kernel i system screen is blank [15:05] but i am able to boot with .58 kernel verion [15:06] 4.15.58 [15:08] samba35: but you get to the graphical login on both kernels? [15:08] no i am only to get gui login screen with 4.15.58 kernel [15:09] with .65 kernel system goes blank while boot [15:09] samba35> for blank try to boot by removing 'quiet splash' in grub and see what happen [15:10] ok [15:14] i have press e and edit boot menu right [15:14] yes [15:14] but i dont see this words here [15:15] look for the "linux" line, go to the end of it [15:15] what do you see samba35 [15:16] those words may be wrapped and may only become visible when you go to the very end of this line. [15:16] /boot/vmlinux-4.15.0-65-generic root =UUID=xxx SOME NUMBER ro [15:16] it that you are asking ? [15:16] yeah [15:16] ok [15:17] It's weird to have a blank boot even without the quiet splash [15:18] Hi! Can someone help me enable the wifi interface? After updating to Eoan I lost that interface. I got a TP-Link USB Wireless Adapter. I already installed the drivers and I can see it in lsusb but the interface doesn't show up with Network Manager... [15:18] may be it is related to the gpu or something similar [15:19] samba35> are you sure there are a space between root and = ? [15:20] because it must be something like root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxx [15:20] ok let me check just now try to in rescuse mode [15:20] ok [15:22] hang on cloud-init [15:23] hmm that's a progress [15:23] I suppose the that service is to blame [15:24] now screen flicker [15:24] but no progress [15:24] should i hard reboot ? [15:24] samba35> ah, what do you mean by it flicker [15:25] screen is flickering [15:25] samba35> ok you can hard reboot [15:26] OK, the good folks at #ubuntu-server have sent me back over here. After updating to 19.10 I no longer have any DNS servers. [15:26] I'm at a loss to figure out what changed. I might have a conflict between how desktop and server deal with networking, but I'm honestly completely lost now. [15:26] hmm boot to normal mode while pressing shif and /or down arrow key :) [15:28] resolve.conf says "nameserver 127.0.0.53". /etc/network/interfaces has "iface enp3s0 inet dhcp". I don't understand why it's not picking up the nameserver from dhcp anymore. [15:28] yes no space in between [15:28] samba35> can you see the boot message now? [15:29] quite splash ? [15:29] Is there somewhere I can just hardwire Comcast's nameservers? [15:29] now i have boot with .58 verion where i get gui for login [15:29] systemd-resolve --status isn't showing any nameservers [15:29] waltman, so you installed a desktop on a server? [15:30] I think so, yeah. It was 3 years ago. I don't remember exactly what I did. [15:30] muliple entry of started user manger with UID 125 [15:30] what desktop exactly, as it might rule networking [15:30] oh, go find out then.. [15:30] remove and create slice with gdm [15:30] How can I find out? [15:30] samba35> try to see a different menu in grub file between 58 and 65 [15:30] lazy user :-P [15:30] Anyone? [15:30] ok [15:30]
