Sven_vBsorry for the delay. also thanks for the impossibility info.00:04
Sven_vBok I found a spare x86_64 box with xenial that I can use as the host. :) which VM would be good then?00:10
* Sven_vB goes read about VirtualBox00:13
tonytbesides vbox i think there is a freee version of vmware player00:16
tonytSven_vB00:16
Sven_vBis VMWare better?00:17
tomreynthere's also a free version of qemu-kvm00:18
tonytSven_vB: im not sure which is better between vbox or vmware. ive used both and i prefeer vmware player. jst menitoned it as an option you can look in to00:20

aleksandrdvorkintrying to compile vlc on ubuntu 19-10 but ./bootstrap fails01:00
aleksandrdvorkinsaying that gettext tools might be missing or out of date01:00
aleksandrdvorkinbut sudo apt-get install gettext says gettext is already newest01:01
Sven_vBmaybe gettext tools is a separate package01:39
Sven_vBaleksandrdvorkin, ^01:39
magic_ninja_worktomreyn, you still around? Turns out powertop is toggling power management flags on things and causing them to use more power. I turned off powertop's management for my wifi and my usage went down quite a bit.01:42
magic_ninja_workI would like to get it below 10W, but I don't know if that is going to happen without switching off my nvidia card completely.01:42
aleksandrdvorkinSven_vB the gettext is the only package available01:49
tomreynmagic_ninja_work: probably not, 10W is pretty low for running with dedicated graphics card01:52
tomreynif your battery is some years old, you may want to consider a replacement01:54
magic_ninja_worktomreyn, yea. Before the new drivers, with the dedicated GPU switched off, I could get it down around 4-8W and have a nice 8-10 hour battery life.01:55
magic_ninja_workI can always do that again if I find myself in the situation. Rebooting is just a PITA01:55
magic_ninja_workI just wanted to let you know there in case you run into it, have them disable the power management settings in powertop.01:55
tomreynthanks01:56
magic_ninja_workAlso, yea, you are correct on the battery. It is down at 72%, so I would expect its useful life to decrease down to around 30% pretty quickly now.01:57
magic_ninja_work*charge capacity.01:57
magic_ninja_workThat being said, I can still get around 5 hours battery life on a full charge. That is livable. Hopefully it gets me through another year.01:57

aberrantI've installed 19.10 on my RPi4 but notice that packages that are available for 19.04 aren't (yet?) available for 19.10. Can I use them by adding a source?06:07
aberrantor is it best to just wait?06:07
ayewfrom official repos or ppas?06:08
aberrantofficial repos, I guess06:08
aberrantslurm-client is the thing I need.06:08
aberranthttps://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=slurm-client&searchon=names06:09
ayewyou can just install that package from xenial and not have your system use xenial repos for everything06:09
ayewusing pins06:09
aberrantayew: thanks. How do I do that?06:09
aberrantI'd rather install it from disco, since that's closer to my version?06:10
ayewoh sorry, disco06:10
aberrantok, good. That means I sort of understand :) How do I do that?06:10
aberrantis there a way to fall back to disco if the eoan packages aren;t avaialble?06:11
ayewfirst you would just add the 19.04  stable repo as normal to /etc/apt/sources.list (dont replace the 19.10 ones)06:11
ayewthen in /etc/apt/preferences you would add something like: https://hastebin.com/operecifog.http06:12
ayewprobably best you read the docs here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto06:13
aberrantah, thanks. ok06:13
ayewas my knowledge of more advanced apt stuff and pinning is from debian06:13
aberrantI wonder if there's an easy way to say, "try eoan first, then fall back to disco"06:15
aberrant"106:16
aberrantIf multiple repositories provide the exact same version of a package, then apt uses the repository that comes first in the sources.list as the first choice and the others for fallback."06:16
ayewwith using pin-priority, you can simply set eoan as a high priority than disco06:17
ayewbut higher than local (100)06:17

vltHello. Is there an easier way to rotate an image while keeping the original size using netpbm than first apply pnmrotate and then pnmcut using half of the difference between new and old width and height as its -left and -top parameters? Did I miss the tool that does exactly that?07:35
tarzeauvlt: there's exiftran with -ai options to autorotate ?07:37
borw3Hello, guys how is wine on 19.10? everything working?07:37
vlttarzeau: Sorry, I was not very clear: I need to rotate arbitrary float angles.07:38
tarzeauvlt: ah i see07:40
borw3Hello, how do people survive post 19.04 without snapd, when chromium is installed as a snap, even if you use apt-get?07:41
ayewwell, you can use firefox if you want, or accept having snapd.07:43
ayewtheres already other software thats only available as a snap07:43
ayewsnapd is preinstalled in ubuntu anyway isnt it?07:44
borw3Yeah, but it isn't exactly pretty to look at.07:45
ayewwell, you could install ungoogled-chromium-debian07:46
ayewwhich is available as a deb07:46
borw3ooh, yeah07:47
vlttarzeau: pnmrotate does the job very well but the way it's written it increases the "canvas" size to not cut off any image information. In my case I want that.07:47
tarzeauborw3: i use my own builds of chromium </telepathy>08:21

fairuzGood day good people10:00
Milkshakefairuz: wow you look happy today.10:01
fairuzMilkshake heh not really, just trying to give good vibes to other people10:01
fairuzI want to upgrade my current PHP 7.3.9 to PHP 7.3.11. When I did apt upgrade, it did say it will upgrade some other things. Is it safe to just upgrade everything? Safe as in not breaking anything.10:06
fairuzthanks10:06
lupulofairuz: that depends of the function for your php scripts, you should see the changelog of php 7.3.1110:08
=== Leion1 is now known as Leion
lupulofairuz: why do you want to update?10:09
fairuzlupulo I mean other than php packages. Like this paste https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gx56wgd3JF/10:11
fairuzlupulo https://www.zdnet.com/article/nasty-php7-remote-code-execution-bug-exploited-in-the-wild/10:11
fairuzbecause of this ^^10:12
yeatsfairuz: ubuntu is pretty quick with security updates for CVEs - I would wait a day or two to see what comes down - watch this for updates: https://usn.ubuntu.com/10:13
yeatsfairuz: also an email list you can subscribe to10:13
yeatsfairuz: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2019/CVE-2019-11043.html10:15
lowbrofairuz: I updated everything and nothing broke. But PHP did not get the patch. I believe Ubuntu needs some more time until you can upgrade for that patch10:15
lupulofairuz: if you are interested at that you should try another distro as gentoo or archlinux10:17
lupulofairuz: see one example https://www.gentoo.org/support/security/10:18
yeatsfairuz: https://lab.wallarm.com/php-remote-code-execution-0-day-discovered-in-real-world-ctf-exercise/ includes mitigation instructions you might be able to apply until the official fixes are pushed into the repos10:19
fairuzyeats lowbro lupulo thanks for the suggestions10:35
fairuzlowbro btw, something I don't understand about your statement, from the links that yeats provide, it seems the CVE has been fixed in PHP 7.3.11. I wonder why you say PHP doesn't get the patch.10:36
FenixArmitagehi everyone, I need some help10:38
lowbrofairuz: it is not yet in the ubuntu repositories, so you won't get it on ubuntu until they add it10:39
FenixArmitageI have a C731 Acer Chromebook that I installed Ubuntu Budgie on and the sound isn't working10:39
FenixArmitageit's weird because I had Unity on it before switching to Budgie and the sound was fine10:39
FenixArmitagecan anyone help?10:39
mgedminFenixArmitage: have you played with sound preferences?  selected the right output sink, unmuted etc?10:43
FenixArmitagemgedmin it won't even recognise my sound card10:44
FenixArmitageall I have is dummy output10:44
mgedminah! interesting, but you said it worked before?10:44
FenixArmitageit worked with unity right out of the box10:45
FenixArmitageit's just Budgie that's the problem10:45
mgedminsound card detection should depend on kernel version rather than on desktop environment10:45
FenixArmitagewhat terminal command do I use to update to latest kernel?10:45
mgedminapt upgrade10:46
FenixArmitageThe following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:  libsbc1Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.10:47
FenixArmitagethat's the output I got. Ran apt autoremove10:48
mgedminwhen you said the sound card was working in "unity", do you happen to know what ubuntu version that was?10:48
FenixArmitage19.10 I think. I wasn't using LTS I just updated to the latest version10:49
fairuzlowbro ah ok, I've misunderstood DNE as done or released. My mistake.10:50
fairuz:)10:50
tadhganybody know how to restore iptables and ufw rules to out-of-the-box defaults ? i think i've butchered them10:51
FenixArmitagemgedmin I found a guide that told me to muck about with Alsa but even that won't recognise my sound card10:52
mgedminFenixArmitage: what's your current budgie version?10:55
FenixArmitage18.04 LTS10:56
FenixArmitageI thought I downloaded 19.10 but I guess I was wrong10:57
mgedminthat might explain it10:57
mgedminnow ubuntu LTS releases have these hardware enablement kernels10:58
mgedminhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack10:58
FenixArmitageok so how do I upgrade to 19.10?10:58
mgedminI don't know how Budgie does things, you might need to search for their IRC channels10:58
FenixArmitagetheir IRC channel told me to come here :P10:58
mgedminbut on stock ubuntu it would be apt install linux-generic-hwe-19.10 xserver-xorg-hwe-19.1010:58
mgedminjust let me double-check that (a) those are the right package names10:59
mgedminand (b) the 19.10 hwe is already released10:59
mgedminsorry, messed up the package names10:59
mgedminit's just linux-generic-hwe-18.04 (and xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04)11:00
mgedminso try installing that and rebooting and hopefully your sound card will start working again11:00
FenixArmitageso the command would be apt install linux-generic-hwe-18.04?11:00
FenixArmitageweird, I already have that installed11:02
mgedminah11:02
mgedminwhat version?  you can check with apt policy linux-generic-hwe-18.0411:02
FenixArmitage5.0.0.32.8911:03
mgedmindigging throught packages.ubuntu.com I see 18.04 LTS currently has the HWE kernel 5.0, based on 19.0411:03
mgedminit doesn't yet have the 5.3 kernel, based on 19.1011:03
mgedminif support for your sound card was added _after_ 5.0, you're out of luck until a new HWE kernel is prepared11:04
FenixArmitagesince this is a fresh install I can just redownload and reinstall everything and give that a shot11:04
mgedminI'm not sure what the HWE kernel schedule is11:04
mgedminor you could give budgie 19.10 a try11:04
mgedminor play with live USB sessions to see which version started supporting your sound card11:05
FenixArmitageyeah I think I'll give that a go. What the hell, why not.11:05
FenixArmitageright I'm off to download 19.1011:05
FenixArmitagethanks for your help my dude11:05

fullstack18.04.314:15
oerheksi would wait.14:15
fullstackYes it is up to date except if there's been something new since yesterday.. checking14:15
isomarioerheks: Why wait?14:15
fullstackI might have an option to stay at a kernel and not utilizing the latest kernel from grub config. I checked, but I forgot what option that was in the file14:15
fullstackuname -a lists 5.0.0-32-generic but I see higher 30s in the grub14:16
fullstackjust need to reboot and select a newer version kernel to check if that fixes it?14:16
fullstackapt upgrade lists 0 updates14:16
oerheksisomari, you will find out, not tested thoroughly yet14:16
lotuspsychjefullstack: correct, hold shift at boot14:16
isomarioerheks: I C. ok thanks14:16
lotuspsychjefullstack: pick ubuntu previous kernel14:16
fullstackkind figure out which one it was14:17
fullstackI think autoremove got rid of it14:17
fullstackwas it at some point 4.xxx?14:17
oerheksno, autoremove keeps the previous kernel.14:17
fullstackis there a way to list the grub kernels WITHOUT having to reboot so I can verify this before I reboot?14:18
fullstackno info in /etc/default/grub /boot/grub/grub.cfg or any place I would intuitively check. This is annoying14:19
lotuspsychjefullstack: sudo update-grub14:19
oerheks dpkg -l | grep linux-image14:19
fullstackis that going to list my kernels or update grub?14:19
oerheksso easy to find, such info14:19
fullstackits annoying to have to find the "new place" or command every 3 months, which i forget. Linux has always had issues with sound and sound cards haven't changed that much since sound blaster 32 on the 486.14:21
fullstackits just one of those things it'll never get right for the next 30-40 years14:22

=== dionysus70 is now known as dionysus69
vltHello. Is there an easier way to rotate an image (by an arbitrary float angle) while keeping the original size using preferably netpbm (or convert) than to first apply pnmrotate and then pnmcut using half of the difference between new and old width and height as its -left and -top parameters? Did I miss the tool or option that already does exactly that?16:49
lordcirthvlt, does "convert -rotate 90" not work for you?16:50
vltlordcirth: No, it resizes the image. To be more precise it enlarges the "canvas" to not throw away any image information and I have to cut the larger part away later. If there's no more elegant solution.16:54
lordcirthI'm curious, why do you need to rotate by arbitrary floats?16:55
vltlordcirth: To adjust not perfectly horizontal shots.16:56
lordcirthThat seems like something you can't really automate? Or do all the pictures come from the same camera orientation/tripod?16:57
vltlordcirth: Yes, I know the angle correction I want to apply.16:58
vltThe way I'm doing it now works: `pnmrotate <angle> > <out>; pnmfile <out> ... read new width/height ... calculate difference ...; pnmcut -top <half of that> ...` but it means a few extra steps I could avoid if I used the correct tool in the first place.17:00
hurricanehrndzI'm having troubles understanding systemd session naming, on some systems it is named session-c2.scope and on others session-2.scope can anyone help me understand the difference17:02
FurretUberI think my bug report didn't send the required data to actually investigate it. It seems no dmesg was uploaded, for example17:03
SIamastermy computer completely freezes when I'm trying to copy files to another drive17:03
SIamasterI did  journalctl -f but no errors were reported17:04
SIamasterAlso, I recently updated my BIOS firmware but that didn't solve the issue17:04
TJ-SIamaster: how is this "other drive" connected to the PC?17:08
SIamasterall connected to the motherboard17:08
SIamasterI have 3, copying between them causes computer to freeze17:09
lordcirthSIamaster, connected via SATA? Anything in dmesg before/during the freeze?17:14
SIamasteryes SATA, I will check17:14
oerheksif the caps lock light freezes, then it is really bad17:14
SIamasterlol why?17:14
lordcirthBecause it doesn't take much to be working for the keyboard to be handled17:15
SIamasteraha, I will check if it works next time17:15
SIamastercan I run dmesg with -f mode?17:16
SIamasterhow should I check ?17:16
lordcirth-w is what you want for dmesg to keep printing17:16
lordcirthand -T gets you readable timestamps17:16
SIamastergreat, thanks. I will try now, it will crash and I will log in again17:17
lordcirthAnother experiment you could do; reading from one drive at a time, seeing if it freezes.17:17
lordcirthIf it can be narrowed down to one drive, that would be nice.17:18
Siamasternothing reported17:20
TJ-Siamaster: is it only when copying from one drive to another? Have you tested copying to /dev/null for example?17:21
lordcirthYeah, I recommend dd'ing from a raw drive to /dev/null17:21
lordcirthThus, there is no filesystem or destination, only a block read17:22
Siamasterhmm, ok. I don't really understand how and why17:23
lordcirthSiamaster, when copying files, there are a number of steps going on under the hood. Doing one of those steps at a time should get us more info.17:25
lordcirthThere's reading from the source device, there's handling the source filesystem, there's the destination filesystem, and the destination device - at a minimum17:25
ubukingHello!:D17:25
lordcirthubuking, hi17:26
ubukinghow are you?:D17:26
SiamasterI tried copying within the same drive and it still crashed17:26
lordcirth!offtopic | ubuking17:26

Siamasterand btw, the caps lock button doesn't work17:26
Siamaster.. so I guess it's really bad then :D17:26
lordcirthSiamaster, ok, so try this: "dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 status=progress"17:26
lordcirthWhere sdx is the drive17:27
Siamasterwhat does that do?17:27
lordcirthThat will attempt to read the first 1GiB of the raw drive.17:27
lordcirthAnd do nothing with the data.17:27
Siamasterok17:27
lordcirthWe don't care what it is, only that it can read it without crashing17:28
SiamasterIt doesn't crash but maybe if I try to read more data it will17:29
Siamasterbecause it doesn't crash immediately when I copy17:29
Siamasterit takes some seconds, around 20 perhaps, then it crashes17:30
lordcirthOk, you can crank up "count". bs=1M means to read 1 MB blocks, and "count=1024" means read 1024 of those (so 1GB)17:30
lordcirthIf you add a zero or two to "count" it will read more data.17:30
hurricanehrndzwhat determines the user's shell cgroups?17:33
Siamasterit crashed17:34
lordcirthSiamaster, ok, so that narrows it down a lot!17:38
lordcirthSiamaster, I would now try it on another drive.17:38
lordcirthIf both drives crash, then I suspect your motherboard and/or drive controller.17:38
Siamasterso I will need to replace my motherboard?17:39
alassiensaneHi Everyone. Can someone help me with swap? Ubuntu recently boots up with swap off17:41
=== dionysus70 is now known as dionysus69
hurricanehrndzalassiensane, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-18-0417:43
oerhekshow do you tell swap is off? swapon -s17:43
oerheks18.04 uses a swapfile standard17:44
alassiensaneI have swap space hurricanehrndz and oerheks. But it is not swapon on startup. What i do is, i go to gparted and swapon every single time17:44
alassiensaneSudo swapon doesnt work eiether. I have to use gparted17:44
hurricanehrndzyou will need to add it to fstab17:44
alassiensanehow do i do that?17:44
oerheksso you think you have a swap partition?17:45
hurricanehrndzshould look something like this: /dev/mapper/xps9360_ubuntu-swap none            swap    sw              0       017:45
hurricanehrndzif you have a partition17:45
alassiensaneI have a 11.44 GB swap file /dev/sda4 I got this data from gparted17:45
lordcirthalassiensane, if it's sda4, that's a partition, not a file.17:47
TJ-alassiensane: sounds to be like you've got encrypted swap and the header is being wiped out each time17:47
alassiensaneSo what do you all recommend i do?17:47
oerheksjournalctl | grep -i swap17:48
Siamasterlordcirth , so you suggest I replace my motherboard to solve this issue?17:48
TJ-alassiensane: start off with "grep swap /etc/crypttab"17:48
lordcirthSiamaster, well, it's hard to say. But I suspect it's hardware.17:49
lordcirthSiamaster, perhaps #hardware could help you confirm it?17:49
SiamasterI'm sorry, what was the dd command again?17:49
TJ-Siamaster: Have you thought to monitor temperatures? That's the usual culprit with unexplained hangs17:49
Siamasterso I can check another drive17:49
alassiensaneTJ- That doesnt exist17:49
oerheksSiamaster, press arrow up in your terminal?17:49
TJ-alassiensane: OK, so possibly not using encrypted swap then :)17:50
lordcirthSiamaster, "dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 status=progress"17:50
TJ-alassiensane: how about "sudo file -s /dev/sda4"17:50
Siamasteroerheks can't, since it crashed17:50
alassiensaneoerheks its giving me errors17:50
Siamasterthanks !17:50
alassiensaneoerheks Here is the pastebin https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VQGWstjBJm/17:51
TJ-alassiensane: you'd expect to see similar to "... Linux/i386 swap file (new style), version 1 (4K pages), size ..."17:52
alassiensaneTJ- /dev/sda4: Linux/i386 swap file (new style), version 1 (4K pages), size 3000063 pages, no label, UUID=a2a09068-bfa0-488e-9880-b32d76bfc15f17:52
lordcirthalassiensane, and is there a swap entry in fstab?17:53
alassiensaneHow do i check that lordcirth?17:53
lordcirthalassiensane, look at /etc/fstab17:53
TJ-alassiensane: that's good17:54
alassiensanelordcirth here you go https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zFH3znMv4D/17:54
Siamasterother drive crashed as well17:54
lordcirthalassiensane, so, your fstab points to "6131fd85-e969-4e01-8ba6-8c678c0f440c" as swap, yet your sda4 is "a2a09068-bfa0-488e-9880-b32d76bfc15f"17:55
alassiensanelordcirth and it also says during installation swap was sda7. Maybe because i installed another linux as multiboot?17:56
alassiensanelordcirth how do i proceed?17:56
lordcirthalassiensane, well, you could just edit /etc/fstab to point to the UUID of your swap partition and reboot.17:57
TJ-alassiensane: how about "journalctl -b -u swap.target" - if you see " Reached target Swap" we know the service should be activating17:57
oerheksoh, another linux as multiboot .. noooo, that cannot be the key  .. sharing swap perhaps?17:58
alassiensaneTJ- this is the result Oct 28 22:59:46 supercomp systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Swap.17:58
alassiensaneOct 28 22:59:46 supercomp systemd[1]: swap.target: Job swap.target/start failed with result 'dependency'.17:58
alassiensaneoerheks is it not recommended to have shared swap?17:58
TJ-alassiensane: there you go then17:58
TJ-alassiensane: how about "journalctl -b -p warning" -- that'll only how warnings/errors from the current boot17:59
alassiensaneTJ- can you dumb it down? XD17:59
lordcirthSharing swap should be ok? I've done it before17:59
lordcirthAs long as you don't hibernate, anyway.17:59
SiamasterIs there a way to get a crash log?17:59
lordcirthSiamaster, not really, if it freezes that badly18:00
Siamasterah crap18:00
TJ-alassiensane: dumb it down? you have a failure report... speaks for itself, so now you need to dig into that to find out what the dependency is and why it failed18:00
Siamasterso what do you suggest I do then?18:00
lordcirthSiamaster, did reading the other drive fail too?18:00
SiamasterI can't even backup files like this18:00
Siamasteryes18:00
lordcirthDo you have another computer? Perhaps you could put your drives in there to back it up18:01
alassiensaneTJ- the error lines are huge. Ill pastebin it https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/D42qc44rGb/18:01
Siamasterhmm, perhaps I should just buy another computer18:01
Siamasterand ask them to install my harddrives18:02
alassiensanelordcirth Would editing fstab do enough? Arent there in in built commands which does it for me?18:02
SiamasterThanks for the help!18:02
netsrothi. how do I add /dev/input/js0 ? it was removed when I updated to ubuntu 19.1018:03
alassiensanelordcirth and TJ- i just remembered that the other linux is not booting properly and it suspends mid way booting. Is this the problem?18:04
lordcirthalassiensane, editing fstab should work fine. I'm not aware of any tools that are easier than replacing a string in a file.18:04
lordcirthalassiensane, it might be related. Does it print anything when it hangs?18:05
alassiensaneIt is kali linux. The graphics doesnt work i assume. When it boots up its in text mode and lots of errors go flying by. Then i will see something like "suspending..." lordcirth18:06
LinusCDEnetsrot: that probably happened due to a change of drivers in the kernel. i have that often with my Dualshock 4 on manjaro (probably same). some kernels support it with bluetooth natively and some don't. maybe try updating the kernel if possible. otherwise i'm clueless, too.18:06
alassiensanelordcirth how do i safely remove that distro and reclaim my swap? Would deleting the partition do?18:06
lordcirthalassiensane, depends, which distro's bootloader are you currently using?18:07
alassiensaneUbuntu lordcirth18:07
alassiensaneIt is ubuntu themed. And its grub, so should it matter? lordcirth18:07
alassiensaneI meant it is purple and ubuntu is default. So i assume it is ubuntu's bootloader lordcirth18:08
lordcirthalassiensane, grub refers to config files in the root partition of the distro that installed it. So if you remove that without re-installing grub, you can break your boot.18:08
lordcirth(well, the /boot partition, if you have one)18:08
alassiensaneThere is no /boot partition but both kali and ubuntu have /boot in their /18:10
alassiensanehi lordcirth please tell me the next steps?18:13
lordcirthalassiensane, did you try switching to sda4 in /etc/fstab yet?18:14
alassiensanelordcirth i did. Is there some update-grub or something next?18:16
lordcirthalassiensane, swap isn't needed during early boot, so I would just reboot. If you are paranoid, feel free to download Boot Repair and put it on a USB. It's a handy thing to have around in general.18:16
alassiensaneI tried boot-repair already lordcirth. So I will restart and see18:18
alassiensanelordcirth Thanks for your help. Will definitely donate something from next month's paycheck18:18
alassiensane*cheque18:18
lordcirthDonate to what?18:20
alassiensaneUbuntu. That's what i used to do back in college. Get something solved through IRC -> donate18:20
lordcirthAh. Well that's a good thing to do. But I, and most people here, aren't really associated with the project.18:21
amalgameatehi, anyone have a recommendation for the best unofficial ubuntu client for evernote?18:21

falzhi folks, im a long time xfce user attempting to 'get used' to unity. reason for this is my hardware (dell xps 13 from 2018) had some issues in xfce with touchpad, sleep, etc. trying unity to see if that stuff works better19:11
kostkonfalz, unity or gnome shell?19:11
falzanyway, lots of things seem to be way more dumbed down that expected, for example theres no right click context menu on much of anything, like on a file in the file manager. there's no file|edit|view menu there either, so it's really hard to even create a new fodler19:11
falzwhatever it would be called that comes with stock ubuntu 18.04, which I think is unity, the file manager specifically is just `files`19:12

Mordocfalz, I meant or did you apt install ubuntu-desktop19:14
akksarnold: Ah, I see. Is it likely that they will create a nonzero file there eventually?19:14

oerheksnot an ubuntu issue, try ##windows or ##hyperv if that exist?20:04
tomreynRayke: "HYPER-V for Ubuntu 19.04" sounds like you have an ubuntu host system which has some "hyper-v" virtualization software installed. but i don't think that's the case. so, yes, see above.20:04
RaykeI have tried Windows support and they point to Ubuntu since it was officially announced by Ubuntu in may.  https://ubuntu.com/blog/19-04-disco-dingo-now-available-as-optimised-desktop-image-for-hyper-v20:06
oerheksno-one here uses hyperV ..20:09
oerheksgood luck!20:09
oerheks!wsl20:09
ubottuWindows 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_guide20:09
ioriaFurretUber,  ah, ok I misread20:09
oerhekseven that we do not know about20:09
RaykeOh well.  The people over at windows say it is Ubuntu specific so I guess I am out of luck here.  Thanks anyway.20:10
tomreynRayke: you could contact caononical advantage support, it's possible they have a support offering for this20:10
tomreynover here we're just volunteers, not dedicated to supporting canoical products other than ubuntu desktop and server20:11
TJ-Hmmm, I think Rayke missed the last paragraph there: "Our plan at this point is to provide the latest LTS and the most recent non-LTS release. That way you can choose between the known quantity of the LTS or the freshest release."20:11
TJ-which implies 18.04 and 19.10 at this point20:12
hermonethichello tomreyn, you helped me a lot last night with the installation of ubuntu 19.10 on my asus laptop. last night you told me to upgrade the bios and i do it now but it didn't help unfortunately20:13
tomreynhmm, "quantity" or "quality"?20:13
tomreynhermonethic: okay, that's a pity. i'm afraid i already forgot everythgin you told me abou the issue you were facing. could you please sum it up again? this will also enable others to support you.20:14
hermonethicyes, thank you again. I'm new user and try to install ubuntu 19.10 on my asus laptop with nvidia mx150 video card. from the beginning, when i boot the system from live usb i get black screen after the grub menu. i installed the system using nomodeset mode, and after reboot again i get black screen and now even the nomodeset option didn't work. yesterday you told me to boot into recovery mode and try to install nvidia drivers using the command (i think20:18
hermonethicmaybe 19.10 is unstable for my hardware and i should try to install the 19.04 lts ? i really don't know what to do anymore..20:19

hermonethicoerheks, it looks a little bit dangerous for my computer, am i right ? i mean, is it something that can make me problems with the windows/hardware?20:25
ioriahermonethic, so you cannot boot in graphic mode even with nomodeset ?20:25
tecywiz121Hey! I've just installed 19.10 on a Dell XPS 15 9570. I switched to the proprietary nvidia drivers, and now graphics don't appear after a suspend/resume (though SSH still works.) I've tried with 435 and 440. I've updated my bios to 1.13.0. Any help would be appreciated!20:26
oerhekshermonethic, these bios calls do no harm. you just need to find the right one20:26
hermonethicioria, no i cant now after the installation20:27
ioriahermonethic, can you open a console (ctrl+alt+f3) after you got the blank screen ?20:27
hermonethici think about it but did not cheek. i can do it now and be right back in a few moments. if yes, there is something i should do there?20:29
ioriahermonethic, yes,  get  a working prompt to provide some infos20:30
hermonethicioria, sorry but i did not understand you20:31
ioriahermonethic, we need to collect some infos... how can we do without access to the system ?20:32
hermonethicyes i mean, how to collect the info from the terminal session (if i can go there)20:33
ioriahermonethic, we'll tell you, don't worry :)20:34
hermonethicok thank you again, cheek it now20:34
tomreynhermonethic: this, run it twice, with 0 and with -1, and note down the urls:  journalctl -b 0 | nc termbin.com 999920:34
tomreyn"-1" is "minus one"20:35
ioriahermonethic, after the black screen, you probably need to wait a little bit before issuing the ctrl+alt+f320:35
tomreynif this won't work out, recovery is also an option, though20:36

hurricanehrndzoerheks, thanks will ask there although this is an issue on xfce21:21
tomreynhermonethic: would you like to try something else?21:27
tomreynhermonethic: 19.04 is not an !LTS release. only even year april releases are LTS releases. so the (20...18, month 04) 18.04 LTS release was the latest, the next will be 20.04 LTS. you can try 18.04 LTS, sure. the problem is really with your firmware, but maybe 18.04 LTS boots a little different, so there's a bit of a chance this could make a difference.21:30

CheezHmm, i have a 18.04 server kernel panicking after about an hour or 2 uptime. "kernel panic - not syncing: corrupted stack end detected inside scheduler." everything i'm seeing on google is about vmware, but this is a physical box.22:12
Cheezany ideas where that could be coming from? ram issues? disk issues?22:12
tomreynCheez: see what else was logged during this kernel session. if there's nothing else looking serious, you may need to run a memtest22:13
doug16kI vote memtest22:13
Cheezimmediately before the kernel panic memcached sent a line to dmesg. "traps: memcached[2470] general protection p:[address] sp:[address] error:0" but that's the only thing logged anywhere that could be it22:15
Cheezhmm, i hope the os image has memtest, it's a remote server, and the remote management card is painful to use.22:15
doug16kGP fault in user mode? ouch22:15
doug16kan extremely invalid pointer can cause that on x86_6422:16

tecywiz121Uh, sorry for the double post.23:27
R13oseA mac worked23:29
R13oseLenovo/ThinkPad23:30
R13oseThe picture shows up when I do fn+f7 but when I switch, it doesn't work23:30
R13oseWhy would a mac laptop work but not my PC laptop?23:37
sarnoldR13ose: sometimes external displays from a laptop require using an nvidia gpu that's onboard, and that may not just work depending upon what choices were made during install23:42
R13oseI am using Intel graphics I believe23:43
sarnoldcheck lspci or lshw to see if you've also got an nvidia onboard23:44
R13oseWill I need to install nvidia drivers if I do?23:53
sarnoldR13ose: i'm not sure. maybe the neauvuea drivers will suffice23:55
sarnoldI've gone out of my way to make sure i odn't buy nvidia video cards to avoid learning :)23:55
