[01:25] I'm not aware of any better place to ask [01:26] sarnold: Thanks. [01:27] I got my pi 4 up and running with the 32 bit 19.10 image. However, I don't see the zfs module or zfs user space tools. Do those need to be installed or are they not available on arm? [01:28] bkurt78: there's ##hardware [01:29] bkurt78: I see armhf packages https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/0.8.1-1ubuntu15/+build/17934247 [01:30] bkurt78: hopefully it's just apt install zfsutils-linux && modprobe zfs [01:31] sarnold: I will give that a shot. Maybe its just not on the base image, which probably makes some sense. === zbenjamin is now known as Guest35223 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:41] Milkshake: ##hardware is totally not the right place to ask about zfs and ubuntu [01:42] bindi: Yeah I just found that out. They are tearing into me for asking. [01:42] yeah sorry thought its soemthing to do with the rasp pi he has. lol my bad [01:44] Totally not the right place to not answer anyone's questions about that [01:48] Hello, I have Xubuntu 18.04 LTS installed and I am looking for the 'Devices' in settings in order to change the color profile, but I am missing Devices is there another way to change color profile by default or do I have to install app? [02:01] When updating the kernel, I get messages like "dpkg: warning: while removing linux-modules-5.0.0-29-generic, directory '/lib/modules/5.0.0-29-generic' not empty so not removed". What's the proper way to clean that up? [02:08] k_sze: That warning was only temporary while work is in progress. ' ls -al /lib/modules/ ' will confirm that directory no longer exists. [02:09] Bashing-om, actually, yeah, it seems that apt not automatically cleans that up. I still see lots of directories for some much older kernel versions though.

I asked this question previously, but I didn't understand the response. I have 2 laptops. Mine and my gf's. Both have Ubuntu. Mine is giving me hella problems but that's another issue I'm working at resolving. My gf's laptop works fine, but even hers is displaying an error when trying to open Software Boutique: "Sorry, Ubuntu MATE Welcome is not currently supported on your distribution. We will soon be releasing a new version of Welcome [02:14] that will support more distributions." === coffeeguy is now known as zenguy [02:16] Is this a problem with Software Boutique, or with our machines? How would I remedy such an issue? -TIA. [02:17] johnjbogle1: you may have to ask whoever wrote that "welcome" application [02:18] It is when I try to open the Software Boutique.

[04:14] I followed this tutorial to sign the module https://era86.github.io/2018/01/24/vagrant-virtualbox-secureboot-in-ubuntu-1604.html [04:14] but then the kernel changes [04:14] but then the kernel changed to 31 [04:14] and also they added vbox 6.0 to the ubuntu repos [04:14] so apt-get updated and everything broke [04:15] How do I purge everything? [04:15] related to vbox [04:16] well maybe ubuntu didn't add vbox 6 [04:17] but the kernel did update [04:17] Gusj: maybe the #xubuntu guys know [04:20] [166493.707618] PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key [04:24] well I fixed it [04:24] had to resign the vboxdrv module [04:24] which is weird to me [04:24] why do I have to sign it again with the same key as before? [04:24] It was already signed with that key [04:26] lotuspsychje, Yes, thank you in there right now [04:28] welcome Gusj [04:47] Hi, I'm looking to share my wifi connection via ethernet using ubuntu on my laptop [04:51] thats not possible unless you use a crossover cable and directly link to the machine [04:52] Are you talking to me? [04:52] yes [04:52] I'm plugging the laptop's ethernet port into a switch [04:53] ok that would work too lol [04:53] but i dont think a router can let that happen [04:53] so what you have to do is set up a bridge [04:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html#bridging [04:54] I'm going to attempt to do it using GUI first and if I can get it working, I'll switch to command line only [04:54] ok whatever man === im0nde_ is now known as im0nde [05:09] If I'm doing a dual boot of ubuntu and xubuntu, do I need to two have swap file volumes? [05:12] JadedJ: no [05:14] JadedJ, so long as you do not try to suspend/hibernate both systems at once, or run the other while the first is suspended. must configure swapon in both systems [05:19] After upgrading to 19.10 early, what should I do to make sure I'm fully up to date after the release? [05:24] !final | sparr [05:24] sparr: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Focal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 20.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade » in a terminal. [05:24] for 19.10 that is [05:25] so just keep your system up to date sparr [05:25] !uptodate [05:25] To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [05:25] I already did a dist-upgrade, so full-upgrade is yielding nothing. Thanks for the info. [05:25] so now on to my real problem :) [05:28] first reboot after upgrade to 19.10 and X won't start. Xorg.0.log says the nvidia module doesn't exist. The nvidia and nvidia_drm and nvidia_modeset kernel modules are loaded, so I'm not sure what it's looking for. [05:28] is there some way to redo the X configuration that was done during the original install? [05:34] sparr: wich chipset of video graphics you have, and wich nvidia driver version? [05:34] have both intel and nvidia graphics, not sure how to be more specific right now [05:35] nvidia packages installed are version 436 [05:35] 435, sorry [05:35] so its an optimus card probably [05:35] !nomodeset | sparr try this to get in your system first [05:35] sparr try this to get in your system first: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [05:35] right now I'd settle for getting either of them working at all, troubleshooting this in console is tough [05:36] manually transcribing URLs into w3m, for example :) [05:36] sparr: or try to get in grub/recoverymode low graphics [05:36] is there any way I can redo/recreate the X configuration that would come with a fresh install, other than doing a fresh install? [05:37] sparr: editing xorg isnt really needed normally these days, we need to enter your system and install the nvidia drivers probably [05:39] trying to install xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-435 [05:39] and reconfiguring nvidia-dkms-435 [05:44] that got me a little further [05:44] now Xorg.0.log complains about not finding glxserver_nvidia module [05:45] lots of info online suggests I should have a tool `nvidia-xconfig` to produce the configuration but I don't, and I can't figure out what package to install to get it [05:47] https://packages.debian.org/buster/nvidia-xconfig (its depreciated) [05:47] is there soething current that does the same job? [05:47] you need contrib enabled in /etc/hosts [05:48] i mean source.list [05:48] wtf is going on in my head [05:48] sparr: its depreciated in that "Creating an xorg.conf is no longer needed for normal setups." but its still in stable, so no reason not to use if it needed to fix something [05:48] what is used during a fresh install to configure X? [05:49] and where does that configuration live? I expect to have /etc/X11/Xorg.conf but it's not there [05:49] at this point I've spent more time troubleshooting this than a fresh install would have taken, although setting everything up again would be many hours of pain that I'm still hoping to avoid [05:50] /etc/X11/xorg.conf should exist [05:50] it does not [05:50] Xorg -configure inside /etc/X11 should make it [05:51] ... despite `startx` failing, X just magically started working when I switched to virtual console #1 [06:07] sparr: dont use startx, it will get you in trouble [07:31] which command is used to install all security updates in Ubuntu 18.04? [07:33] zetheroo: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades the whole system [07:33] !uptodate [07:33] To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [07:34] EriC^: I though apt-get wasn't necessary anymore. I have been doing apt upgrade and apt dist-upgrade. [07:35] yelof: ok, tks [07:36] zetheroo: apt and apt-get can both be used, they simplified, but most of the get syntax still works [07:46] after some reading it seems that the key difference between apt upgrade and apt full-upgrade (the new 'dist-upgrade') is that the former will not remove packages during updating, whereas the latter will. And both commands install kernel updates. [07:46] ammo: always keep your system up to date [07:49] i have 2 monitors: +*eDP-1(on the right) and +HDMI-1(on the left) how to set that all application opened on the right one rather than on the left [07:50] if i remove any driver does it removed completely or there is any garbage beghind?

[08:03] i said the internal wifi [08:03] not the usb wifi :/ [08:03] usb wifi never works without installing driver [08:04] boktan: ok, so your external usb wifi has a bu?

[08:10] after install it was coming [08:11] just login on firefox [08:12] i did loged in on desktop i was thinking it is needed for ubuntu-bug [08:12] should i login on firefox? [08:12] ubuntu-bug is not working something pid error it is giving me [08:12] boktan: login on launchpad from firefox first, then after you can file your bug via terminal [08:13] ok [08:13] boktan: did you type: ubuntu-bug linux [08:13] something opened now [08:13] good [08:14] send no send it says just [08:14] send bug report [08:14] yeah firefox opened [08:15] but i did not install the driver from the repo [08:15] boktan: ok, now add a title of your bug and add your story to the bug [08:15] they will i think say me install it and send again bug report right? [08:15] boktan: you can add that to your story, you tryed to fix with a git [08:16] thank you [08:16] you think how long it will need that they fix it ? is my first experience with reporting there [08:16] boktan: bug fixing depending on many factors, like how fast you also help testing [08:16] how many other users also affected [08:17] if developers know or not.. [08:17] share your bur url after here, we can take a look for you [08:17] bug [08:18] hmm [08:19] okay im writing now [08:21] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1849276 [08:21] Launchpad bug 1849276 in linux (Ubuntu) "alfa-AWUS036ACH wifi usb adapter not working" [Undecided,New] [08:22] i hope my english explain the problem good enough :D [08:22] hey. installed ubuntu 18 server edition, checked "docker" to be installed from installer. This did not install the standard "docker.io" package, but instead a "snap" package. Now docker runs as root instead of docker. So I can't add myself to the docker group. What can I do? [08:22] (if I want to run docker commands as non-root user) [08:29] lotuspsychje can anybody comment to this bug? or just the developpers? [08:35] lotuspsychje it says now confirmed on my topic what means it? [08:36] BlastuR: really? hahaha [08:36] tarzeau: ? [08:36] about the snap and no more group :) [08:37] i find that so funny. but from the changelog you should be just able to apt-get install docker.io ? [08:37] you used the software manager gui to install software? on ubuntu? [08:37] well, yeah. i suppose, but this snap thing seems convenient. i just dont understand how i can use docker inside a snap as a non-root user [08:37] i hardly know anyone using that nightmare gui [08:38] i used the cli installer that comes with ubuntu server edition [08:38] the hpc guys i know, use singularity [08:38] * tarzeau still doesn't get why people want docker.. [08:39] tarzeau: well, thats an entirely other discussion. [08:39] true, care to name your docker software thing you want to run? [08:40] it's a in-house development environment [08:43] BlastuR: dockerd running as root is the expected behavior. [08:44] you can add yourself to docker group, and control it. [08:46] legreffier: well, docker group doesn't even exist when running docker as a snap. but anyway, i tried adding the docker group and added my user to it. did not work. I suppose i have to configure docker to actually use the docker-group too..? [09:02] BlastuR: i don't know about the snap package :/ [09:08] Hi, how to pin the os to a particular kernel? [09:20] If I do "apt-get update"/"apt-get upgrade"/"apt-get dist-upgrade"/"apt-get do-release-upgrade" on a 14.04 system, will I be upgraded to 16.04 or will it take it to 18.04? [09:22] 14.04 [09:22] apt-get do-release-upgrade isn't a thing [09:28] I am on 18.04 with the cuda card k20c . I installed cuda10.1 from the nvidia website but it fails to start display. gdm logsout immedialty on login. startx (after stopping gdm) gives error: fatal error no screens found . the display vga port is on motherboard via intel graphics. What to do? [09:30] Is postfix a must in an Ubuntu server? [09:31] are you sending or receiving emails? [09:32] tinyhippo: no I don't think so. But sometimes when I ssh to the server, I see "you have mail"... [09:32] is that postfix? [09:36] ns5: not necessarily, it's likely a notification message from a process running on the server [09:36] it'll probably bein /var/mail/ [09:36] or use the `mail` command [09:37] tinyhippo: /var/spool/mail/root, does this have anything to do with postfix? If I remove postfix, will this /var/spool/mail and 'you have new mail' thing still work? [09:45] anyone nvidia/cuda issue please [09:48] gulzar: works like a champion (using nvidia repo though) [10:35] Guys snap stuck installing digikam, what to do?

[11:17] The output that the program generates are json objects, so that's why I need to redirect them to a network port so that I can read the json stream from another program [11:17] Hi folks [11:24] ok, I figured I can do it like this: [11:24] $ myprogram > /dev/udp/127.0.0.1/1234 === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [11:53] acebrianjuan: yes, but use pipes like this [11:54] $ myprogram | nc -u 127.0.0.1 1234 [11:54] nc = netcat; man netcat [11:55] uhmm, well "man nc" works better, think in ubuntu the package is called netcat [12:20] Red15: thank you for your answer. What are the differences between using netcat and redirecting with (>) ? [12:21] Red15: both methods achieve the same results [12:25] netcat and a ">" redirect are not at all the same thing [12:26] ok, I'm listening [12:28] !alis | acebrianjuan: A discussion like this is off topic for this channel.

I also use the /media/{username} path as it appears to work better for temporary paths. [12:57] pragmaticenigma: seems to be a version issue. I got it to work by adding to -o ",vers=1.0" [13:10] makara: You might want to send a note to your IT team. SMB protocol version 1.0 is full of vulnerabilities. It currently is marked as deprecated in the SMB libraries in Ubuntu and will be dropped in the future. [13:12] It is an optional install on various new Windows machines.

Version 1.0.0.54+repack-5ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 5 kB, installed size 23 kB [14:13] I got it from steampowered.com [14:13] i guess the question becomes then, is the one in the software center SUPPOSED to work? [14:13] is this a known issue or does ericus have a problem [14:14] steam-launcher is not the installer? [14:14] and 0 bytes, good spot [14:15] https://store.steampowered.com/about/ [14:16] yes? [14:18] I hit install, Software Install opens and wont let me install [14:18] this also happend with another .deb-file [14:18] that package is zero bytes, forget it [14:19] I got it downloaded as well, 2,9 MB [14:19] why don't you install the regular package, steam or steam-installer? [14:20] I will, but why am I not able to install other packages? [14:21] I'm on a fresh install of ubuntu [14:21] used to work [14:21] for the deb from their site, dunno, not going to find out [14:22] Morning/Afternoon/Evening [14:23] Having some issues with SAMBA [14:45] When I play videos in browsers the volume it often too loud, and the browser wont remember my settings. Is there software that can set the volume to the same level across all programs or browsers? [14:49] howdy all. I am using elementaryOS (an ubunut/debian derivative) I have a laptop with 2 monitors connected. if I have them screens arrange next to each other, on left<>right edges, windows behave as expected, but if I arrange them with the 2 'secondary' screens on top and the laptop display on the bottom (triangle), then windows on screens 2&3 only maximize to half screen. elementaryos uses [14:49] lightdm by default. [14:49] has anyone seen this before? [14:50] no, because we do not support elementary [14:50] find their support channel with !alis [14:51] oerheks1: ok so this doesn't happen in stock ubuntu. that was really my question [14:52] ubuntu ( gnome) used gdm3, so no comparison [14:53] oerheks1: oh no one uses lithdm on gnome? [14:53] er ubuntu 1804 [15:01] Hello [15:01] I'm unable too put files on my SMB mount in differrent caases.... [15:01] I can touch test.txt but when I touch TEST.txt it doesn't write the file [15:02] I mount it in FSTAB with //XX.XX.XX.XX/LINUXBACKUP /home/mounts/linuxb cifs username=XXX,password=XXX,uid=0,iocharset=utf8,vers=1.0 0 0 [15:06] Hi. I have just upgraded my Thinkpad T540p laptop from 19.04 to 19.10. My laptop no longer boots. Instead of showing a GRUB menu; GRUB waits at the GRUB> command prompt. I'm looking for advice on how to troubleshoot. [15:06] I am currently running under the 19.04 LiveCD. I've gathered boot-repair diagnostics: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cqnyspdj5b/. [15:07] Side note: I changed my root filesystem to Btrfs while still on 19.04. I doubt that's relevant here because the system worked and rebooted fine afterwards, and anyway it's all inside a LUKS partition which isn't even accessible at boot. But I mention it in case it could have confused something in the upgrade process. [15:07] I have homedir backups so I can reinstall, but I'd like to resolve if possible. [15:07] Advice welcome. [15:10] 1. upgrade path is not released yet, and 2. btrfs, interesting [15:13] "upgrade path is not released yet"? Ahhhh. Then mea culpa: I ran "update-manager -d" without understanding what the "-d" meant. I guess "-d, --devel-release" means "buyer beware"? [15:14] well, the releasenotes state that if you cannot wait, the -d option gives 19.10... but we think there should be a warning [15:14] A warning would have been nice, but I also should have been more careful about what I ran. :) [15:15] but btrfs, i have no clue about those issues [15:22] When plugged to a Delock USB-C dockstation, my 18.04 gets the following behaviour every minute: The CPU load goes up to 100% for 5-10 seconds and then returns to normal [15:22] The process consuming CPU is pretty much random, it can be firefox, thunderbird or anything currently active, just like if the CPU was throttled [15:22] "dmesg -w" does not show any information when the issue occurs. Unplugging the dockstation fixes the issue. Any thought about that? [15:23] courrier: are you sure journalctl -f doesnt give you any output on it? [15:26] bostonmacosx: pending an answer from an expert (which I am not), does https://serverfault.com/questions/70570/does-samba-work-well-with-windows-when-case-sensitive-names-are-enabled help? [15:26] I found that alrready [15:26] been a dead eand [15:26] Okay, apologies [15:27] end...I updated the smb.conf with those added cnifg items.. still can't create files with same name but different cassess [15:27] I think I'm just going to move the backup drive from my router to the PC itself... [15:27] then tar.gz the backup and send it to google drive..... [15:27] once a day [15:29] lotuspsychje: let me try. The issue is gonna happen again very soon... [15:52] oerheks1: /part [15:52] oops [15:52] lol [16:02] will Firefox 70 come to Ubuntu 18.04? [16:02] jj5, sure [16:02] jj5: keep your system up to date [16:02] oerheks1: wonderful! do you know when that is likely to happen? [16:03] lotuspsychje: sure will! [16:03] normally in a few days, depends on the maintainer [16:03] oerheks1: good to know. thanks! [16:04] jj5, you can help test it, https://snapcraft.io/firefox [16:04] 'candidate' [16:05] official it is released today [16:06] oerheks1: I would be very happy to help test. but when I go to the snapcraft.io URL I get "Bad Gateway" error. https://www.jj5.net/file/2019-10-23-030502/Screenshot_20191023_030448.png [16:06] hit f5 ? [16:07] your url does not work either [16:07] oerheks1: ah, yep, F5 fixed it. thanks for the heads up my URL isn't working, it's working for me, I will investigate [16:21] What is a good way to prevent a systemd service from running, dynamically at runtime? I know systemd doesnt support any kind of logic itself. So is there some other "official" recommendation? === retentiveboy_ is now known as retentiveboy [16:21] systemctrl enable/disable (service).service [16:25] oerheks1: No, that's not dynamic at runtime, thats permanent and only at boot time. [16:39] Hi guys. Coming from Windows environment and using WSL to run Linux. Anyone have any tips on where to start? Im having trouble just creating virtual environments, etc... [16:40] I am thinking of depending on a oneshot, or maybe use an ExecPreStart, that conditionally creates a file, and then add ConditionPathExists. Unless there is a better way? [16:40] !wsl | gjt343 [16:40] gjt343: Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide [16:41] thnee: systemd has dependencies. You can make the service fail if a dependency isn't met [16:42] leftyfb: Yeah the question is how [16:42] thnee: you read the documentation and/or google. For instance: http://cloudurable.com/blog/systemd-dependencies/index.html # found by searching google for "systemd unit dependencies" [16:43] Oh, RTFM, classic! [16:43] thnee: except I provided you with a link to the answer you're looking for. I RTFM for you. [16:45] thnee: but yeah, it's almost as if there are people write documentation so others who don't know how to use or have questions about the thing can learn how to use the thing. [16:46] thnee: now, if you're following along with the documentation and articles/tutorials found by research and are still having issues, then feel free to ask for help and provide info on what you have tried and where it is failing [16:48] leftyfb: Thanks, you are my sunshine [16:50]
