[00:00] also, i noticed that it doesn't work in chromium either. i get the same error. [00:03] daniel_g: if you sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop^ this may list the missing packages (no need to confirm if you don't wan all of it) [00:03] ibrumfield: what is "nvidia on demand"? [00:03] what does the caret (^) at the end mean? [00:04] daniel_g: it signifies that this an an "apt task", similar to what tasksel did in the past [00:04] tomreyn: k, thanks [00:06] tomreyn: when i sudo apt cache search ubuntu-desktop, it says that it's already installed [00:06] there is some DRM guide for firefox [00:06] and i just sudo apt cache update [00:06] OerHeks: oh, nice, where? [00:07] same as netflix, step 1 ... https://itsfoss.com/netflix-firefox-linux/ [00:07] OerHeks: I have a feeling it is system-wide in my case though, because it doesn't work in chromium for me either... [00:08] ibrumfield: if your goal is to run specific applications on one and others on the other GPU in a multi-gpu setup, you can probably use nvidia-settings for this on proprietary drivers, or the DRI_PRIME environment variable if using nouveau [00:09] perfect thanks! [00:10] daniel_g: firefox's about:preferences also has a "Digital Rights Management (DRM) Content" tick box [00:11] OerHeks: didn't work :(. I already have all of the settings and plugins in the guide. also, apt cache search (codec pack name) from guide turned up nothing... [00:11] tomreyn: yeah, it's ticked already :/ [00:11] oh, i'm running in a virtual machine if that makes any difference. shouldn't though, right? [00:11] it's a virtualbox vm. ubuntu running inside ubuntu [00:12] it's possible DRM wouldnt like that [00:12] not sure, it's proprietary, we can't know [00:13] I also like how Firefox' "Learn more" link points to a parked domain name [00:14] I feel like I might just have to run a Windows VM to get this to work. However, i wish it wasn't this difficult? [00:15] Ubuntu Mate 19.04 I want to install the dock that is on 18.04..don't know the name to use google to find [00:17] texla: this sounds ubuntu mate specific, so i suggest you ask in #ubuntu-mate [00:18] tomreyn, thanks for the info [00:18] daniel_g: maybe try it with a new firefox profile [00:19] tomreyn: k === zbenjamin is now known as Guest76518 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:13] How come I'm not seeing an available update 19.04 => 19.10 ? [02:14] it doesnt roll out for evberyone at the same time [02:15] you can force it with do-release-upgrade -d, although thats probably bad practice [02:16] Why would it be bad practice? and I'm curisou how do people do a rolled release? Is it like show update for % of requests. Or does the system have some kind of unique ID and it rolls it out based on that? [02:17] because -d upgrades to a "development release" which may or may not be exactly the same as what you'd get without using the d [02:17] I see [02:18] i did it yesterday and it worked fine for me [02:18] (using -d) [02:18] I'm not in a hurry, was just curious [02:20] my guess is the staggered release is just to lower the load on the server infrastructure [02:24] this snapper-gui is crashing and is useless on 19.04 as it seems [02:25] atsaloli: Yep ^ :see too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases . [02:26] already using apt-btrfs-snapshot that is fine, but needed some GUI or something not to crawl through CLI whenever I want to clean snapshots === ztrawhcse is now known as elibrokeit [03:00] Hi guys [03:00] I wanted to install again ubuntu as I should do, because I've some problems with it [03:01] but I'm afraid of to make some mistakes and do something wrong, can you give me some advice? [03:01] https://pastebin.com/9Gna0vKy [03:03] I wrote `fdisk -l` in order to know exactly how many partitions has my machine and it shows me this, a year ago I create just one for linux because I saw so many partitions previously that I was afraid of delete [03:03] what I should do if I want to create a new partition for a new ubuntu? [03:06] I mean this is a notebook I bought and it has all these partitions created when I bought it [03:15] jeloume: if you want windows to work, most of those partitions are needed. Some are for creating recovery media and could potentially be deleted if you have those disks/files, or do not want recovery options if Windows breaks. sda9 is your linux partition, make sure everything is backed up installing there would delete your files on linux [03:17] could potentially resize sda5 and/or sda9 to make room for a new partition, but that depends on how full they are. [03:26] hello i am thinking about delting my ubuntu computers i don't like it anymore [03:26] its boring [03:26] its a boring os [03:27] <^Peter^> coolchris Ah but it is not the operating system that defines boring, it is the operator, and his ability to use the system [03:28] troll didn't even wait for a response. [03:28] <^Peter^> yes indeed a troll [03:30] was going to recommend a rm -rf, gotta remove ubuntu properly [03:35] ok [03:37] Although I'm gonna find out how to how to resize a partition, there is any safe way to do it with out loss any important information from windows or linux that I've installed? [03:39] jeloume: If you're worried, safest thing to do is back up the entire disk somewhere. [03:42] jeloume: can resize, or "shrink" i believe with gparted or another utility. backups are reccomended in case something goes wrong. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition [03:44] I think the partition cannot be mounted, gparted is on the live cd/usb I believe. [03:50] so is it better if I use gparted instead of using fdisk ? [03:50] I don't have any other disk :( just this one that have my notebook [03:53] I've a disk but it's from my mom xD I don't think she's gonna give that one XD [03:53] =( [03:53] the only way to change a partition size using fdisk is by deleting and recreating the partition [03:53] aaa sry for my english xd [03:53] omg [03:54] it scares me a lot, I'm gonna download gparted [03:55] I need to resize one of my primary partitions Windows or Linux and after I can create a new one so that I can install there my new linux? [03:55] can use use resize2fs if you need CLI, either way I recommend backups of any important data, and check your free space to make sure you have enough on those partitions to consider it. [03:56] if those partitions are full it won't work. [03:56] Once time I think I had gparted on a live cd and when I tried to resize de windows partition it didn't allow me to do it I don't know why e.e [03:58] is it possible that a partition it's blocked? I mean that I can resize it ? [03:58] can't [04:33] is it possible to encrypt the entire drive with LUKS after ubuntu has been installed? [05:02] I need to change a keycode, the issue is that showkey reports the key as 374. It seems like the usable range is up to 255 by the kernel. Any ideas? [05:03] The root problem is that i want to use that key to trigger a script in my i3 config. xev does not report any bindsym for it since it is out of range. [05:11] wth? https://imgur.com/m3Hy6s7 [05:11] why did the package system break? [05:11] I didn't do anything weird [05:11] well I haven't restarted this desktop in a while [05:11] other than that, just browsing youtube [05:12] flog, which key? [05:16] doug16k: not sure what the keys name is. got a lenovo laptop with function key on F11 i want to use. [05:17] Cooler: Could be any of several reasons - out of disk space ? what shows ( in a pastebin site ): ' df -h ; df -i ' . [05:17] doug16k: which made me realize that i could just use f11 instead. [05:18] ah, so you are attempting to use Fn+F11? [05:19] pretty much [05:21] flog, what does `showkey -s` say when you do Fn+F11? [05:22] Nope. [05:22] But showkey does [05:22] Bashing-om, not out of disk space [05:23] /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root 914G 71G 797G 9% / [05:24] flog, high codes like that are supposed to be encoded as a sequence of keycodes. showkey must be decoding it back [05:24] ah [05:25] Cooler: Then next is to know what kernels are installed ; and what kerenl you are booting - ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ; uname -r '. See where we go from here. [05:25] it is described under 2.6 KERNELS in the man page [05:25] showkey man page* [05:25] ubuntu 18.04, so the latest linux kernel?

[07:32] it should be possible to configure `tc` (traffic control) to classify internet packets by looking for the gateway's MAC address in the packet, and only throttle internet traffic, and allow LAN traffic unimpeded, right? [07:35] bz-: 5.7 is the newest in the repositories, you probably skipped a step or over looked something in the "i have installed the appropriate apt config" actions you speak of [07:35] bz-: so you might look at that again [07:36] hum. welp, i checked the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list and it accurately shows mysql 8; however, when i run apt-cache policy mysql-server it shows 5.7 [07:36] seems like something's not updating, but perhaps it's me...will look again.. [07:37] bz-: yeah look again, if you only put something in /etc/apt/sources you missed a step..you'll find it when you retrace your steps [07:37] sure, thanks [09:06] bz-: did yuou double check you're really on ubuntu 19.04, not 19.10? lsb_release -ds [09:07] on 19.10, the "mysql-server" metapackage indeed depends on mysql-server-8.0 [09:08] ...whereas it's mysql-server-5.7 on all other supported releases. [09:32] hi, does anyone know why qemu/kvm does not support the skewed screen resolutions like virtualbox does? that would be really good. like 1920x992 or 2048x1152? [09:38] i guess desktop virtualization is not its immediate target. maybe try a different video driver for more flexibility, and make sure you have a spice connector.

[09:53] tomreyn, any that is supported after Jan 1st, 2020 [09:54] I am asking that not as someone relying on Python 2 personally [09:54] most certainly if you look at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?exact=yes&keywords=python [09:54] I am asking basically when can I be sure to get rid of it without breaking Ubuntu? [09:54] for security considerations [09:54] if you're using ubuntu, you do rely on python 2 [09:54] except for 19.10 [09:55] except? why would 19.10 depend but 18.04 not? [09:55] look at the link i posted above [09:56] ubuntu 19.10 does *not* depends on python2, the others do. [09:56] many core tools (gnome-builder, gtranslator, llvm) depend on it [09:56] even though they are not officially supported parts [09:56] Ubuntu is useless without gnome dev tools [09:57] you don't seem to have a support question, /join #ubuntu-discuss for discussions [09:57] but I see duplicity has finally been ported to Python 3, good job! [09:57] tomreyn, sorry, I thought this is the generic channel [10:03] no problem, but yes, support only, see the channel topic [10:21] hello. there is a process in my system that's constantly using the apt. it keeps changing it's PID every second that i can't kill it by PID. neither i could by name. what could be going wrong and what can I do to fix ?

[11:52] boktan: sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms [11:53] why would we care about backbox? [11:53] i want to install the realtek-rtl8812au-dkms because it was working great with it [11:53] nbusrone, dpkg -l | grep 'openoffice' [11:53] jeremy31 , OerHeks : and how do I know the deb files are also link to other application running which require it ? will it render other application will not work well ? [11:53] nbusrone, did you perform autoremove? [11:54] OerHeks, it's our cousing distro Vinnie :P [11:54] nbusrone: just run sudo apt autoremove [11:54] cousin* [11:55] nbusrone, how many deb files did you install manually [11:56] jeremy31 , OerHeks : To be safe , I just install bleachbit but doesn't show anything on preview which apt was checked. [11:57] bleachbit.. why? so you did not run autoremove? [11:58] kostkon : I am not sure at synaptic will auto grab the other deb or to be installed but after remove , it doesn't remove the deb.Did i click remove and not complete remove ? [11:58] bleachbit & synaptic, he probably wants the GUI solving [12:00] nbusrone: in some cases when the user scrambles apt in dependency issues, the GUI wont be able to fix things, its adviced to pastebin whats going on in your apt, see what you done exactly [12:02] nbusrone: can we see a paste of your apt? tell us what you did please? [12:02] OerHeks : I prefer gui as mention by lotuspsychje because I would know what it get remove.It is dangerous if i accidentally remove something else [12:02] thats why the volunteers need to see whats going on first nbusrone , to be able to help you [12:03] lotuspsychje : ok wait a minuite [12:03] nbusrone: can you pastebin: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [12:03] if you used a gui, maybe you need to loout/login again to clear inodes? [12:04] not sure why terminal is dangerous [12:04] .. and gui safe [12:06] OerHeks : last time , without knowing some command at google search , i accidentally remove the whole firefox apt remove purge which I though it'll list out Y or N to remove. [12:07] OerHeks : terminal is good but less knowledge on command leads me to get worry in some cases. [12:07] nbusrone: please lets not general statements, focus on your issue instead? [12:09] lotuspsychje : I will restart PC again to confirm it really remove, be back afterwards. [12:23] lotuspsychje : looks like the it really complete remove after restart . but the HD size is still not the same before install and remove size space left.Will inspect more tomorrow thanks :) [12:24] lotuspsychje : it* apache office [12:26] nbusrone, how do you measure the available space === lotus|i5 is now known as lotuspsychje [12:26] kostkon : right click on t he disk space and check the sda1 [12:27] kostkon : My cases is similar to this link https://askubuntu.com/questions/874830/why-apt-get-install-and-remove-do-not-clear-the-same-space but it's an old link. [12:27] nbusrone, how much of a difference is it compared to before [12:28] nbusrone: so, since you're seeking support here again, did you upgrade from the unsupported EOL release you were running yesterday? [12:28] kostkon : At the properties , 30~50mb right now.Becasue it's an SSD it's important on filesize space left .

[12:32] tomreyn, more like OerHeks' he responded to mine promptly [12:32] he/she* [12:32] oh, sorry, i missed this [12:33] but i'd also very much recommend to familiarize yourself to using the terminal for managing your system [12:33] !terminal [12:33] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. In Unity or GNOME, search the dash for "terminal" and press ENTER. Other desktops: Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal (MATE), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [12:34] see this guide to get started [12:35] the good thing regarding the temrinal is that it creates textual output which you can easily share with us and discuss here. [12:35] !pastebinit [12:35] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [12:36] nbusrone: ^ [12:36] kostkon : because i didn't take a record of HD size before and after , i roughly remember the size.It's about 30~50mb. it maybe some other updates but it's clearly synaptic does not show much info on complete remove. [12:37] thanks guys [12:38] there are differences between download sizes and installed sizes of packages, the latter is almost always more. [12:39] also, packages you choose to install almost always depend on other packages, and not all of these other packages may get removed when you remove the very package you installed later on. [12:39] even with autoremove not everything may be removed. [12:40] tomreyn : not to mention , some packages are require updates to get it run , so it could be I miss out where upgrading some packages will consume size. [12:41] current ubuntu version is 20.04 right? [12:41] spinningCat: 19.10 is latest [12:41] spinningCat : 18.04 [12:42] nbusrone: this can be so, but installation sizes of packages are normally entirely neglegible on both desktop systems and servers. it may be relevant on embedded systems. [12:42] spinningCat : you are asking me ? the latest 19.10 [12:42] spinningCat: 20.04 has yet to come to development stage [12:43] tomreyn : sometimes , getting a larger ssd would be better.128GB really not enough. [12:45] for ubuntu 128 GB is plenty, but it may not be sufficient to store user data [12:45] Ubuntu bug 128 in Baz (deprecated) "cmd_update should call libarch delta creation and application directly" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/128 [12:45] nbusrone: we still have not a clue what you did to your system, we havent seen a pastebin yet of what you did exactly [12:46] tomreyn : SSD price does reduce but compare to durablity , MLC 128GB vs TLC 512GB .Not plenty if it's an upgrade from 14.04 to 18.04 [12:47] lotuspsychje : i didn't do any pastebin , I just restart the pc and HD size reduce , so I just leave it as before , i was thinking after backup and do a clean install .Sorry for not posting any pastebin.Just wanted to test a few office application comparability on windows [12:49] nbusrone: please understand, its hard for volunteers to give you advice with little details from you [12:49] nbusrone: even a simple df -h can give us more insight already [12:51] lotuspsychje : Sorry i didn't know that.but it solve by restart. [12:51] lotuspsychje : Really thanks for the help :) [12:52] nbusrone: you didnt do a clean install 18.04? [12:54] lotuspsychje : nope , just upgrade but it's a long process 14.04 to 16.04 then 18.04. [12:55] nbusrone: we adviced you yesterday, better not upgrade from an eol version [12:57] lotuspsychje : I though you told me eol not support so i though I have to upgrade to a 18.04.Long process , many error.Will do a clean install again after backup. [12:58] lotuspsychje : thank for the time for helping me , cheer :) [13:00] gtg , thanks :) [13:38] Hi. Is 19.10 in development state? I have to do do-release-upgrade with -d option for it to detect a new release. === milkshak- is now known as milkshake [13:38] nascentmind: no, 19.10 is released final [13:39] lotuspsychje, why am I not able to upgrade without a -d option then? [13:39] just because upgrade path is not released [13:39] only the iso's. [13:40] OerHeks, Oh ok. When will the upgrade path be released? [13:40] maybe next week? just wait and see [13:40] OerHeks, ok. === va3dbj_away is now known as va3dbj [14:20] HI people, [14:20] I've a question about how to install multiple distro [14:21] What I should do with the boot partition that usually is / ? [14:21] I should create a partition like /ubuntu ? [14:21] instead of / [14:21] ? [14:22] I'm having a problem. When ever I do a metadata request now, it works fine for episodes, but it doesn't for specials [14:22] it calls ttvdb.com with -M first like it should, and works in both cases [14:23] jeloume: ubuntu will create its own drive partition to be installed in [14:23] for episodes it then calls ttvdb -D seriesid season episode [14:23] but for specials it calls -C instead, and just gets the generic series data, instead of the special data [14:23] specials being season 0 [14:24] ? [14:24] patdk-lap, wrong channel ? [14:24] oh opps [14:25] irc redirect [14:25] I joined a different channel and it shoved me in here, those are really annoying [14:25] but when I install a new distro tutorials frecuently say that I must create 3 partitions, 1 partition primary for /home, another for boot as /, and the last one for swap [14:26] jeloume: you can install ubuntu on one partition, you are not required to have a partition for home and ubuntu now uses a swapfile rather than a swap partition [14:29] Hello all. In regards to posting screenshots for here, what service should I use to upload the screenshots to? [14:30] johnjbogle1: imagebin.ca could be one [14:30] !paste | johnjbogle1 [14:30] johnjbogle1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [14:32] Thx. How do [14:32] How do I use the !pastebinit properly? [14:32] pastebinit is not for screenshots, just txt [14:33] johnjbogle1: you use it in terminal |pastebinit [14:33] johnjbogle1: e.g. pastebinit <( command1; command2; command3)" or "command | pastebinit" [14:33] thx [14:33] mm [14:37] so I didn't understand u.u where I should install my new distro instead of / ? wherever I want? [14:38] jeloume: The installer should recognize other installs and offer to install along side of the others [14:38] jeloume, on a free space of your hdd [14:38] jeloume: if you do an LVM-based install that only requires 1 partition within which you can multiple logical volumes if you want to separate root-fs from /home/ and so on [14:50] Hey, i need to get the UUID of my SD card, however blkid does not list it, but card is mounted already, how could i get it? [14:51] Never mind, now it's listing it. Thanks anyway. [14:51] akemhp: a file system UUID, a partition UUID, a serial number? [14:51] ok === akemhp is now known as akemStream [14:57] hello [15:00] I have Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Wayland, and Unity installed. Unity is my main DE. (In fact it is my only DE, I have pretty much never used the others at all before.) I am getting this error when I try to log into Unity or Wayland: https://imgur.com/a/YKNHObo. [15:06] hello, I can't kill this: see the line from ps aux : steve 9935 7.5 1.6 1801452 132232 ? D 10:54 0:42 obs . tried kill -9 9935 as root, tried killing its parent /bin/bash, it's still there using CPU. any suggestions? [15:06] pkill obs [15:07] doesn't work [15:07] i used xkill, which did kill the window but the process is still there [15:08] johnjbogle1, i don't think unity 7 is compatible with wayland, but i could be wrong [15:09] hey, ther i'm trying to run sudo apt-get upgrade and it keeps returnig 404 not found [15:09] steve, logout/login again? [15:09] Ok forget I mentioned wayland. I need to regain access to unity. [15:10] kappamikey, paste the errors on paste.ubuntu.com please [15:10] ah crap, it says in the D state, uninterruptible sleep, it can't be killed until the system call completes, which i guess is never going to happen [15:11] ahhh ok, I was reading a little bit about this because I don't want to make sth wrong on my notebook, so I can have partiton /boot for all my distro, another SWAP in order to manage the RAM for all my linux distro, after that I can create as many partitions as distro linux I want to install [15:11] is it ok? [15:11] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fHJ7jkqbDX/ [15:11] johnjbogle1: which ubuntu version are you running there? [15:12] kappamikey, did you run sudo apt update first? [15:12] I read what all told me xD but I'm noob on this topic so I'm trying to understand [15:12] !tty | johnjbogle1 [15:12] johnjbogle1: To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [15:12] johnjbogle1: 11 this lets you work on a text terminal [15:13] sorry, ignore "11" [15:13] johnjbogle1: on the text terminal you can typoe this to check your ubuntu version: lsb_release -ds [15:13] OerHeks I just did not it says working so I guess that was the problem [15:14] what I still don't understand is if I must create primary partition o logic [15:14] which is the difference? [15:14] on videos people say primary and other logic [15:14] there we go, now it's unpacking things [15:14] kappamikey, fresh lists, have fun! [15:16] johnjbogle1, ah, ok... that screen reminds me a broken upgrade ; try to access a tty or use Recovery Mode [15:18] Is it possible that I can't create more than 4 primary partitions? [15:18] libreoffic vs openoffice which is better? [15:20] For every new distro I should create logic o primary partitions? [15:20] jeloume, not on MBR, GPT allows more than 4 primairy [15:20] uh [15:20] So what can I do if I want to install a new linux? [15:20] I should create just logic partitions? [15:20] start with GPT, and have fun installing multi linux editions [15:21]
