[00:04] sorry for the delay. also thanks for the impossibility info. [00:10] ok I found a spare x86_64 box with xenial that I can use as the host. :) which VM would be good then? [00:13] * Sven_vB goes read about VirtualBox [00:16] besides vbox i think there is a freee version of vmware player [00:16] Sven_vB [00:17] is VMWare better? [00:18] there's also a free version of qemu-kvm [00:20] Sven_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 to [00:22] ok thanks! [00:38] hi [01:00] trying to compile vlc on ubuntu 19-10 but ./bootstrap fails [01:00] saying that gettext tools might be missing or out of date [01:01] but sudo apt-get install gettext says gettext is already newest [01:39] maybe gettext tools is a separate package [01:39] aleksandrdvorkin, ^ [01:42] tomreyn, 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] I 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. [01:49] Sven_vB the gettext is the only package available [01:52] magic_ninja_work: probably not, 10W is pretty low for running with dedicated graphics card [01:54] if your battery is some years old, you may want to consider a replacement [01:55] tomreyn, 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] I can always do that again if I find myself in the situation. Rebooting is just a PITA [01:55] I just wanted to let you know there in case you run into it, have them disable the power management settings in powertop. [01:56] thanks [01:57] Also, 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] *charge capacity. [01:57] That 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. === zbenjamin is now known as Guest91153 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:03] my apaches run under www-data.www-data, if my cgi scripts needs root permission(e.g. restart the machine), is this doable other than giving www-data the root permission(then what's the point of www-data), the question is, will all cgi-bin's permission limited by www-data(same as apache) === Leion1 is now known as Leion [02:36] Hi all.

[06:07] I'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] or is it best to just wait? [06:08] from official repos or ppas? [06:08] official repos, I guess [06:08] slurm-client is the thing I need. [06:09] https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=slurm-client&searchon=names [06:09] you can just install that package from xenial and not have your system use xenial repos for everything [06:09] using pins [06:09] ayew: thanks. How do I do that? [06:10] I'd rather install it from disco, since that's closer to my version? [06:10] oh sorry, disco [06:10] ok, good. That means I sort of understand :) How do I do that? [06:11] is there a way to fall back to disco if the eoan packages aren;t avaialble? [06:11] first you would just add the 19.04 stable repo as normal to /etc/apt/sources.list (dont replace the 19.10 ones) [06:12] then in /etc/apt/preferences you would add something like: https://hastebin.com/operecifog.http [06:13] probably best you read the docs here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [06:13] ah, thanks. ok [06:13] as my knowledge of more advanced apt stuff and pinning is from debian [06:15] I wonder if there's an easy way to say, "try eoan first, then fall back to disco" [06:16] "1 [06:16] If 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." [06:17] with using pin-priority, you can simply set eoan as a high priority than disco [06:17] but higher than local (100) === CycoCid is now known as Kulrak [07:35] Hello. 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? [07:37] vlt: there's exiftran with -ai options to autorotate ? [07:37] Hello, guys how is wine on 19.10? everything working? [07:38] tarzeau: Sorry, I was not very clear: I need to rotate arbitrary float angles. [07:40] vlt: ah i see [07:41] Hello, how do people survive post 19.04 without snapd, when chromium is installed as a snap, even if you use apt-get? [07:43] well, you can use firefox if you want, or accept having snapd. [07:43] theres already other software thats only available as a snap [07:44] snapd is preinstalled in ubuntu anyway isnt it? [07:45] Yeah, but it isn't exactly pretty to look at. [07:46] well, you could install ungoogled-chromium-debian [07:46] which is available as a deb [07:47] ooh, yeah [07:47] tarzeau: 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. [08:21] borw3: i use my own builds of chromium [08:43] tomreyn: thanks for your reply yesterday === katnip` is now known as katnip === katnip is now known as katnip` === msalvatore_ is now known as msalvatore [09:14] i have a question i can access my webserver from http://192.168.0.50/hello.txt local but when i go to my other machine it keeps telling me its not found [09:18] hexoroid: what do you mean webserver? apache?

[10:01] Milkshake heh not really, just trying to give good vibes to other people [10:06] I 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] thanks [10:08] fairuz: that depends of the function for your php scripts, you should see the changelog of php 7.3.11 === Leion1 is now known as Leion [10:09] fairuz: why do you want to update? [10:11] lupulo I mean other than php packages. Like this paste https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gx56wgd3JF/ [10:11] lupulo https://www.zdnet.com/article/nasty-php7-remote-code-execution-bug-exploited-in-the-wild/ [10:12] because of this ^^ [10:13] fairuz: 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] fairuz: also an email list you can subscribe to [10:15] fairuz: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2019/CVE-2019-11043.html [10:15] fairuz: 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 patch [10:17] fairuz: if you are interested at that you should try another distro as gentoo or archlinux [10:18] fairuz: see one example https://www.gentoo.org/support/security/ [10:19] fairuz: 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 repos [10:35] yeats lowbro lupulo thanks for the suggestions [10:36] lowbro 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. [10:38] hi everyone, I need some help [10:39] fairuz: it is not yet in the ubuntu repositories, so you won't get it on ubuntu until they add it [10:39] I have a C731 Acer Chromebook that I installed Ubuntu Budgie on and the sound isn't working [10:39] it's weird because I had Unity on it before switching to Budgie and the sound was fine [10:39] can anyone help? [10:43] FenixArmitage: have you played with sound preferences? selected the right output sink, unmuted etc? [10:44] mgedmin it won't even recognise my sound card [10:44] all I have is dummy output [10:44] ah! interesting, but you said it worked before? [10:45] it worked with unity right out of the box [10:45] it's just Budgie that's the problem [10:45] sound card detection should depend on kernel version rather than on desktop environment [10:45] what terminal command do I use to update to latest kernel? [10:46] apt upgrade [10:47] The 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. [10:48] that's the output I got. Ran apt autoremove [10:48] when you said the sound card was working in "unity", do you happen to know what ubuntu version that was? [10:49] 19.10 I think. I wasn't using LTS I just updated to the latest version [10:50] lowbro ah ok, I've misunderstood DNE as done or released. My mistake. [10:50] :) [10:51] anybody know how to restore iptables and ufw rules to out-of-the-box defaults ? i think i've butchered them [10:52] mgedmin I found a guide that told me to muck about with Alsa but even that won't recognise my sound card [10:55] FenixArmitage: what's your current budgie version? [10:56] 18.04 LTS [10:57] I thought I downloaded 19.10 but I guess I was wrong [10:57] that might explain it [10:58] now ubuntu LTS releases have these hardware enablement kernels [10:58] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [10:58] ok so how do I upgrade to 19.10? [10:58] I don't know how Budgie does things, you might need to search for their IRC channels [10:58] their IRC channel told me to come here :P [10:58] but on stock ubuntu it would be apt install linux-generic-hwe-19.10 xserver-xorg-hwe-19.10 [10:59] just let me double-check that (a) those are the right package names [10:59] and (b) the 19.10 hwe is already released [10:59] sorry, messed up the package names [11:00] it's just linux-generic-hwe-18.04 (and xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04) [11:00] so try installing that and rebooting and hopefully your sound card will start working again [11:00] so the command would be apt install linux-generic-hwe-18.04? [11:02] weird, I already have that installed [11:02] ah [11:02] what version? you can check with apt policy linux-generic-hwe-18.04 [11:03] 5.0.0.32.89 [11:03] digging throught packages.ubuntu.com I see 18.04 LTS currently has the HWE kernel 5.0, based on 19.04 [11:03] it doesn't yet have the 5.3 kernel, based on 19.10 [11:04] if support for your sound card was added _after_ 5.0, you're out of luck until a new HWE kernel is prepared [11:04] since this is a fresh install I can just redownload and reinstall everything and give that a shot [11:04] I'm not sure what the HWE kernel schedule is [11:04] or you could give budgie 19.10 a try [11:05] or play with live USB sessions to see which version started supporting your sound card [11:05] yeah I think I'll give that a go. What the hell, why not. [11:05] right I'm off to download 19.10 [11:05] thanks for your help my dude [11:05] (y) (y) [11:13] Hello everyone! Is 30MB enaugh drive space for Ubuntu 19.10 [11:14] no [11:14] 30 GB might be [11:14] sorry 30GB [11:15] Is it enaugh? [11:15] Yes 30 GB is fine, with a good numbers of applications, libreoffice, gimp, blender, audacity, whatever. [11:15] depends on what you use it for! the OS itself (including apps) will probably take about 10-15 GB [11:15] buttros, for basic usage, yes. For gaming, large technical applications etc., no [11:16] akemhp: Thank you [11:16] mgedmin is right about 15 GB for the OS and a good number of apps. [11:17] kostkon: I don't play games or have technical applications [11:17] buttros, you should be fine then, if barely [11:17] Ok Thanks! [11:32] Hi guys. Does Ubuntu 19.10 come with iptables installed by default please? [11:34] Sorry. Disconnected. Does iptables come default installed please? [11:35] ActionParsnip: ubuntu 19.10 desktop and server probably do. [11:35] why are you asking? [11:36] Tomreyn: a guy on Launchpad.net is saying one isn't present in the release by default. I don't have 19.10 to check but want to be sure before I hand him his ass [11:36] then check the manifest [11:37] http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.10/ [11:38] Tomreyn: yeah I'm thinking of booting the live ISO to check [11:38] that's not what i said. [11:38] http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.10/ubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.manifest http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.10/ubuntu-19.10-live-server-amd64.manifest [11:39] these files contain the list of packages installed by default [11:40] well for the iso's anyways [11:40] Howdy folks [11:40] lxc launch ubuntu:e eoan && lxc exec eoan bash -> iptables is preinstalled [11:41] otoh now I wonder how much lxc images differ from iso installs [11:41] s/lxc/lxd/ augh it's confusing [11:41] Tomreyn: perfect. Thanks!! [11:52] To my understanding, a lot of work went into making it so Qt apps can work on Gnome and Gtk apps on KDE.

I checked, but I forgot what option that was in the file [14:16] uname -a lists 5.0.0-32-generic but I see higher 30s in the grub [14:16] just need to reboot and select a newer version kernel to check if that fixes it?

Version 2.0-4ubuntu2 (eoan), package size 43 kB, installed size 134 kB [16:05] TJ-: no error here on 20.04 [16:05] TJ-: installed: 2.0-4ubuntu2 [16:07] hmmm, on 18.04 here, fonts-guru-extra/bionic-updates,bionic-updates 2.0-4ubuntu0.1 -- looks like the .md5sums file has a bad path in it, thinks a file is a directory and fails [16:07] When using the proposed kernel, to report a bug using `ubuntu-bug linux` will point to the right kernel version? [16:08] Ahhh bug #1701047 [16:08] bug 1701047 in fonts-orya-extra (Debian) "Renaming of conf file fails" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1701047 [16:09] Was seeing "dpkg: error: cannot compute MD5 hash for file '/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-0-fonts-guru-extra.conf': failed to read (Is a directory)" [16:10] FurretUber, yes, apport will do that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [16:10] TJ-: wonder why it says optional, it was installed here by default [16:10] lotuspsychje: some seed will pull it in [16:10] ic [16:11] lotuspsychje: rdpends shows ubuntu-desktop > fonts-indic > fonts-guru > fonts-guru-extra [16:16] The bug I reported shows it affects linux-signed-hwe-edge, I think it went right, thank you [16:17] Luckily Xfce4 is super lightweight, so even with a buggy GPU limited to 100 MHz clock it's still smooth [16:20] xfce is beautiful [16:21] still has a lot of raw edges/bugs though [16:23] 4.14 is much better, I added the Staging PPA to Bionic so much I liked it. Everything is much better, the concept of main monitor is wonderful [16:24] The new screensaver application is new, so it has some problems, but otherwise it's pretty solid === dionysus70 is now known as dionysus69 [16:49] Hello. 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? [16:50] vlt, does "convert -rotate 90" not work for you? [16:54] lordcirth: 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. [16:55] I'm curious, why do you need to rotate by arbitrary floats? [16:56] lordcirth: To adjust not perfectly horizontal shots. [16:57] That seems like something you can't really automate? Or do all the pictures come from the same camera orientation/tripod? [16:58] lordcirth: Yes, I know the angle correction I want to apply. [17:00] The way I'm doing it now works: `pnmrotate > ; pnmfile ... read new width/height ... calculate difference ...; pnmcut -top ...` but it means a few extra steps I could avoid if I used the correct tool in the first place. [17:02] I'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 difference [17:03] I think my bug report didn't send the required data to actually investigate it. It seems no dmesg was uploaded, for example [17:03] my computer completely freezes when I'm trying to copy files to another drive [17:04] I did journalctl -f but no errors were reported [17:04] Also, I recently updated my BIOS firmware but that didn't solve the issue [17:08] SIamaster: how is this "other drive" connected to the PC? [17:08] all connected to the motherboard [17:09] I have 3, copying between them causes computer to freeze [17:14] SIamaster, connected via SATA? Anything in dmesg before/during the freeze? [17:14] yes SATA, I will check [17:14] if the caps lock light freezes, then it is really bad [17:14] lol why? [17:15] Because it doesn't take much to be working for the keyboard to be handled [17:15] aha, I will check if it works next time [17:16] can I run dmesg with -f mode? [17:16] how should I check ? [17:16] -w is what you want for dmesg to keep printing [17:16] and -T gets you readable timestamps [17:17] great, thanks. I will try now, it will crash and I will log in again [17:17] Another experiment you could do; reading from one drive at a time, seeing if it freezes. [17:18] If it can be narrowed down to one drive, that would be nice. [17:20] nothing reported [17:21] Siamaster: is it only when copying from one drive to another? Have you tested copying to /dev/null for example? [17:21] Yeah, I recommend dd'ing from a raw drive to /dev/null [17:22] Thus, there is no filesystem or destination, only a block read [17:23] hmm, ok. I don't really understand how and why [17:25] Siamaster, 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] There's reading from the source device, there's handling the source filesystem, there's the destination filesystem, and the destination device - at a minimum [17:25] Hello!:D [17:26] ubuking, hi [17:26] how are you?:D [17:26] I tried copying within the same drive and it still crashed [17:26] !offtopic | ubuking [17:26] ubuking: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:26] and btw, the caps lock button doesn't work [17:26] .. so I guess it's really bad then :D [17:26] Siamaster, ok, so try this: "dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 status=progress" [17:27] Where sdx is the drive [17:27] what does that do? [17:27] That will attempt to read the first 1GiB of the raw drive. [17:27] And do nothing with the data. [17:27] ok [17:28] We don't care what it is, only that it can read it without crashing [17:29] It doesn't crash but maybe if I try to read more data it will [17:29] because it doesn't crash immediately when I copy [17:30] it takes some seconds, around 20 perhaps, then it crashes [17:30] Ok, 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] If you add a zero or two to "count" it will read more data. [17:33] what determines the user's shell cgroups? [17:34] it crashed [17:38] Siamaster, ok, so that narrows it down a lot! [17:38] Siamaster, I would now try it on another drive. [17:38] If both drives crash, then I suspect your motherboard and/or drive controller. [17:39] so I will need to replace my motherboard? [17:41] Hi Everyone. Can someone help me with swap? Ubuntu recently boots up with swap off === dionysus70 is now known as dionysus69 [17:43] alassiensane, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-18-04 [17:43] how do you tell swap is off? swapon -s [17:44] 18.04 uses a swapfile standard [17:44] I 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 time [17:44] Sudo swapon doesnt work eiether. I have to use gparted [17:44] you will need to add it to fstab [17:44] how do i do that? [17:45] so you think you have a swap partition? [17:45] should look something like this: /dev/mapper/xps9360_ubuntu-swap none swap sw 0 0 [17:45] if you have a partition [17:45] I have a 11.44 GB swap file /dev/sda4 I got this data from gparted [17:47] alassiensane, if it's sda4, that's a partition, not a file. [17:47] alassiensane: sounds to be like you've got encrypted swap and the header is being wiped out each time [17:47] So what do you all recommend i do? [17:48]
