[00:03] <tds> rfm: do you see the same behaviour testing with eg iperf in both directions?
[00:06] <rfm> tds, haven't tried iperf, naver used it.  Rebooting everything right now, will report when I've had a chance to try
[00:36] <rfm> tds, after reboot http/scp ipv6 speeds are better (but still about half IPv4.)   iperf is, strangely, asymmetric.  one direction full speed, other direction half speed.
[01:24] <tds> rfm: hmm, what do your routing tables look like on either side?
[01:24] <tds> (or traceroutes between these boxes)
[01:24] <tds> might be that one direction is hairpinning through a router?
[01:45] <rfm> tds, here are the route tables and traceroute: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9DGbXVQg4n/
[01:46] <tds> rfm: why does arda have the same prefix on two interfaces?
[01:49] <rfm> tds, arda dies gave two interfaces on the same net (I do this because of a virtualbox bridging network quirk, two uids can't bridge to same adapter)
[01:49] <sarnold> my technicolor c2100-t router/wifi thingy was assigning both my wired and wireless nics the same IP address for a while; I didn't check ip r output, but I bet it would have given very similar results. turning off reservations in the modem interface did the trick
[01:50] <OerHeks> sarnold +1 .. they 'grey' area
[01:50] <rfm> tds, s/dies give/does have/
[01:51] <tds> rfm: hmm, does arda have two v6 addresses as well then?
[01:51] <sarnold> OerHeks: the hilarious thing is that I'd wondered what the heck had caused that for MONTHS; when I was trying to troubleshoot the world's most frustrating Sonos problems I stumbled on that bit of advice in the sonos support documentation
[01:51] <sarnold> OerHeks: turning off reservations made that stupid thing on my laptop go away and my sonos system got *significantly* more friendly to use :)
[01:51] <tds> might explain the asymmetric behaviour if it's making connections from one address and receiving them on another
[01:51] <sarnold> (I'd never noticed with 'simple' sonos setup but after adding the subwoofer, all hell broke loose)
[01:53] <rfm> tds, yes, separate ipv6 addresses on the two interfaces https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6pPmDrtt5M/
[01:53] <tds> rfm: hmm, what's the output of `ip -6 route get 2600:1700:dc40:2830:347b:b11e:7a2d:df13`?
[01:58] <rfm> tds, did on both systems just for drill: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wp2P68Gsxm/
[01:59] <tds> rfm: ah, so your traceroute test went to eno1, but arda is using the source address on enp8s2 for connections originating there
[02:00] <tds> i'd be tempted to drop the addresses on one of the interfaces and see if that sorts it out
[02:03]  * rfm is reading "man ip-address"
[02:08] <tds> rfm: easy option for v6 is to set the autoconf sysctl for the interface to 0
[02:08] <tds> then it'll stop getting an automagic slaac address
[02:18] <rfm> tds, indeed taking the slaac address off enp8s2  made the asymmetry go away.  I don't understand why, does the stack have to forward the packet to the other interface when it comes in on the "wrong" one?
[02:21] <rfm> tds, I probably don't need to autoconf the address on enp8s2 in order to bridge to it, I'll verify that later.  Thanks.
[02:23] <tds> rfm: you don't need an address for just bridging, you can happily set the disable_ipv6 sysctl to 1 on that interface to drop the link local and all. you'll get asymmetry as you're relying on two different mechanisms to pick addresses, ie whatever resolved that .local name (probably mdns), and linux source address selection, but the machine will
[02:23] <tds> always pick a single route out (unless you do a complicated config) - so if you talk to the "non-primary" ip, you'll get ingress on one interface, egress on another
[02:27] <rfm> tds, yes I had set mDNS to advertise only the address on enp0, because that's what I wanted the other systems to use...
[02:28] <tds> aha, so that controls the ingress route ok
[02:28] <tds> but since you've picked up an on-link route for the /64 via RAs, you'll still send traffic back out the other interface
[02:32] <rfm> tds, so I will disable v6 on that interface and run for a while to see if the massive slowdowns (one tenth speed, not just half) I was seeing will come back (they seemed to reset when I rebooted everything.)  Thanks again.
[02:36] <xiaxiaoyu> Hello
[03:17] <k_sze> Has anybody figured out how to use the Japanese ibus-mozc input method? I can't figure it out for the life of me.
[03:21] <OerHeks> k_sze, for 18.04? https://moritzmolch.com/2404
[03:21] <OerHeks> it should work for xorg, not wayland..
[03:23] <k_sze> $XDG_SESSION_TYPE is x11 for me.
[03:23] <k_sze> that's xorg, right?
[03:23] <OerHeks> jups
[03:24] <OerHeks> the first 'remind me later' is essential, that saves a lot of updating
[03:25] <k_sze> I see.
[03:27] <k_sze> Thanks.
[03:28] <k_sze> Hmm, is there a keyboard shortcut to switch among the mozc modes? i.e. direct input <-> hiragana <-> katagana, etc.
[03:32] <k_sze> What's that "Muhenkan" key in the MS-IME keymap??
[03:33] <FaTaL_G> I got a question people here may have found a way to deal with... or maybe not. It's an ongoing battle, I am running my router for home on Ubuntu and loving it. I created a bind9 set of zones for known undesirable domains in order to help mitigate ads, popups etc. (Basically doing /dev/null redirect vs. pixelserv). Now streaming services are pushing ads and doing request/get checks to authorize
[03:33] <FaTaL_G> content to play. Forcing us to accept the very ads and popups we are trying to avoid. Mind you, WE PAY for the TV, so they are already getting their money. .... any ideas/sites/links?
[03:43] <sharpie> FaTaL_G, check pihole
[03:44] <sharpie> its a dns based project, if the adds are coming from the service directly, not much can be done aside from using ublock, ect, but will/can block adds from 3rd party
[03:47] <sharpie> i use it via VPS for mobile, with wireguard, but you can definatly set it up for your home network at the router level
[03:51] <sharpie> currently blocking 41% of internet garbage across my devices/network
[03:54] <FaTaL_G> sharpie, not sure if you are paid tv subscriber to services like spectrum, verizon etc, but when you try to watch something on demand, and it (the cable service) directs you to CBS.com for example, you are ALLOWED to watch the content, but if the ads are blocked, the stream will not start
[03:56] <FaTaL_G> which is somewhat silly, because they got their money from me, I DVR most everything, but if something got missed, we still paid for the content, and DVR we can commerical skip, but ondemand we cant, and worse, we cant even watch the content because they deny access unless we "access the ads
[03:56] <sharpie> FaTaL_G, I am not in that position. I consume all my content via wireless.
[03:56] <OerHeks> seems like you blocked too much .. and not really an UBuntu issue
[03:57] <FaTaL_G> so I think I have to actually serve the ads, and direct them to the ether. I think pihole does that but I recall it had issues. I will ahve to see if things changed
[03:57] <sharpie> it seems the adds are "baked in"
[03:57] <FaTaL_G> OerHeks indeed not an Ubuntu issue. Just asking here if anyone had an idea :)
[03:57] <FaTaL_G> my ubuntu router is totally rocking it
[03:58] <sharpie> at least by setting up pihole, or your current config, you can tail the logs and see whats going down
[03:58] <sarnold> another oiption is ditching it and getting addicted to media that treats you better :)
[03:59] <FaTaL_G> I've received some awesome help here and loving it.
[04:00] <FaTaL_G> sarnold, I've always seen the cord cutting road paving way to this. It's going to become Judge Dredd society someday hahaha. Thank you both
[04:01] <sharpie> maybe (and I cant be sure on this one) reverse proxy? I never looked into it , but saw it mentioned in passing regarding services
[04:01] <sarnold> FaTaL_G: trouble is, everyone wants in on that netflix cash and I don't think they realize users don't want to subscribe to seven services..
[04:02] <sarnold> when netflix had everything it was easy.. add hulu? sure not that much more.. but six more? nah no one wants new accounts any more
[04:03] <sharpie> sarnold, its coming full circle.,... i dont want to pay 85 per month... just 7... just 7 more... just 7 more.. until its 85 per month with all the services..lol
[04:03] <sarnold> sharpie: exactly that, hehe
[04:04] <FaTaL_G> I had so many discussions with trolls or cord cutter trolls on forums because I have a cable card and insist on staying on Windows 8.1. Not going to 10. I'll stick with Linux when Cable Cards-Windows 8 is no longer supported with current hardware. I prefer linux hands down
[04:07] <FaTaL_G> and yes sharpie, a squid might do the trick, but I suspect its only a matter of time considering how cookies are everywhere.
[04:11] <sharpie> FaTaL_G, not only cookies, but DNS, there are a couple options regarding encryption, but so far, unless I am wrong (total possibility) the reDNS request will be encrypted, yet the response wont be, so not really gaining security
[04:11] <sharpie> Im still working on this stuff as time allows
[04:29] <FaTaL_G> urgh, we have FIOS, FIOS TV Ultimate, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Prime, CBS, Disney, Dont have HBO-Go. I work fulltime, ball and chain gets to veg lol.
[05:22] <Thr0r> Hello! I am looking for a good alternative to the wordprocessor standard with Ubuntu - LibreOffice.. Is there any good alternatives? Callibre Suite does not work well I think... Suggestions?
[05:30] <Thr0r> If there is an administrator in this Channel - the web page to Lubuntu is down now...  ubuntu.com/download/flavours - click Lubuntu page is not working... I was going to download Lubuntu now..
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> Thr0r: join #ubuntu-mirrors please to notify that
[05:38] <OerHeks> https://lubuntu.me/ is down, so the page is correct
[05:38] <dax> i think that's more #lubuntu-devel than #ubuntu-mirrors
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> oh ok dax
[05:42] <Thr0r> ..all these channels..
[05:48] <Thr0r> I know that the moderator here does not like repeating Q's but there was not at single reply to my Q about an alternative to LibreOffice here? ..anyone?
[05:48] <OerHeks> go wild, and say Hi! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[05:49] <dax> i haven't seen any good alternatives to LibreOffice
[05:49] <dax> Calligra is the closest I've seen, and you don't like that one, so...
[05:50] <Thr0r> OerHeks: Wow..
[05:51] <OerHeks> some swear by sublimne text ( prop stuff ) https://snapcraft.io/search?q=office
[05:52] <stevwill-> sup
[05:52] <Thr0r> dax: no - and it's especially the Table stuff I don't like with LibreOffice.. but I'm sure OerHeks has a channel for that too :) That list was HUGE! Narrow it down..
[05:53] <Stevwills> ahh ubuntu
[05:59] <Mr_Cyclops> Hello. I need to secure erase some of my external hard drives. They were on ext4. Not sure which is the most effective secure erase? dban ... or shred ... or dd ..... please advise, thanks
[06:01] <catjbill> badblocks is another good tool for that
[06:02] <OerHeks> shred or dd, example shred with one pass >> shred --verbose --random-source=/dev/urandom -n1 /dev/sdX
[06:02] <OerHeks> government specs say at least 7 passes .. have fun!
[06:03] <catjbill> badblocks -b 4096 -wsv -t random -p 3 /dev/sdX <- something like that does 3 passes of random patterns
[06:08] <Mr_Cyclops> OerHeks, catjbill thank you
[07:01] <vlt> Mr_Cyclops: shred
[07:47] <mexen> Hey y'all
[07:47] <mexen> quick question
[07:47] <mexen> is there is a repo for az cli (msft azure)?
[07:50] <OerHeks> mexen,  not that i know of, just github https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli or snap https://snapcraft.io/azure-cli
[07:50] <mexen> All right, thanks.
[07:51] <Ruler-> I any logs made before the drive is unencrypted when one uses "full drive encryption"? I wouldn't make any sense but I'm just encountering a bug in that unlock screen often
[07:51] <mexen> Got the snap
[07:51] <Ruler-> *it wouldn't
[07:52] <Ruler-> *is any
[07:54] <Ruler-> I don't even know the program that handles the unencryption at start
[07:54] <Forza> Hello.
[07:54] <Forza> I have a problem with netplan on my ubuntu 19.10.
[07:55] <Forza> Two interfaces. eth0 with dhcp and Internet access and then eth1 internal fixed ip.
[07:55] <OerHeks> Ruler-, on what ubuntu version
[07:55] <Ruler-> OerHeks, 19.10
[07:56] <OerHeks> there is a log; journalctl -b -0 shows messages from the current boot, journalctl -b -1 from the previous boot
[07:56] <Forza> Netplan adds a default route to both interfaces which is if course wrong. Only the dhcp one should have it. What can I do to prevent default route added on the eth1 with static ip?
[07:57] <callipygous> 😨
[07:58] <Ruler-> OerHeks, the bug prevents me from unencrypting the drive so how can it write a log? I need to restart the computer to be able to unlock the drive
[07:59] <OerHeks> Ruler-, how do you tell it is a bug? maybe the filesystem is damaged.. or worse: hdd sector failure?
[08:00] <Ruler-> It happens only when I boot up and power on additional displays when it asks to unencrypt the drive. After that I cannot enter anything to the password screen. Computer and keyboard works otherwise
[08:01] <Ruler-> So the display addition is not handled correctly if they're powered on during that
[08:01] <OerHeks> oke, never been in that situation, sounds like a bug to me too
[08:02] <OerHeks> boot with just 1 display, and run ubuntu-bug in terminal to file a bugreport
[08:02] <OerHeks> !bug
[08:02] <Ruler-> What's the package that handles the screen?
[08:02] <OerHeks> inlog/gdm3 ?
[08:03] <Ruler-> Thanks OerHeks, I'll try :)
[08:30] <Stevwills> is there still a bug in disks with ubuntu where it messes up partitioning???
[08:30] <Stevwills> i believe it was in 18.04
[08:31] <OerHeks> steven, never heard of that.
[08:31] <steven> thats so weird.
[08:32] <steven> you should definiltey read/watch/listen to it
[08:32] <OerHeks> such serious bug in a LTS version, i doubt that
[08:44] <jeev> is trusty not capable of using tls 1.2? i'm trying to run apt-get on a digicert certificate to update zimbra and it keeps failing
[08:45] <jeev> what's weird is, it works but fails with apt-get update
[08:48] <OerHeks> maybe trusty 14.04 never will .. it is dead, EOL
[08:49] <OerHeks> there is ESM, but that is paid support, so upgrade please
[08:49] <OerHeks> !esm
[08:49] <Thr0r> I have a IBM monitor 9419-HB7 - it's said that it's max is 1280*1024. I am using 1400*1050 now but the image is not perfect.. Using xrandr to set it. Does anyone have a suggestion to what would be a perfect res. above 1280*1024? it's capable of 1600*1200 but then - "Out of signal" shows on the monitor?
[08:50] <k_sze> Does anybody know how to many GNOME Terminal send real numeric keypad keycodes to the application (e.g. to vim)? By default, the number keypad digits just get translated as the row of digits above the letter keys.
[08:50] <k_sze> s/many/make/
[08:50] <jeev> ok, i guess i can work on upgrading it
[08:51] <OerHeks> Thr0r, specs online says max resolution is 1280 x 1024
[08:51] <OerHeks> setting higher is of no use
[08:51] <alycidyne> Hello, I was following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel, but `fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs` fails, and the .tar.xz file seems awfully light. What could I have missed?
[08:54] <Thr0r> OerHeks - I know the online specs. but was hoping for a res. combination that might work abobe 1280*1024.. since 1600-1200 "kind-of" works..?
[08:56] <OerHeks> "but then - "Out of signal" shows on the monitor?" ...
[08:56] <OerHeks> really, why do you ask ?
[09:01] <Thr0r> OerHeks: "really, why do you ask ?"- Because there is a display that is perfect but does not fill the whole screen - and please don't  mock me - I was thinking this was a serious support channel?
[09:02] <OerHeks> so, the problem is that 1280 x 1024  does not fill the whole screen?
[09:02] <OerHeks> reset the monitor with its own menu keys, back to factory standard, often fixes that
[09:05] <Thr0r> OerHeks: "so, the problem is that 1280 x 1024  does not fill the whole screen?" ..wonder how you draw that conclusion?? And No - reset does not fix it. So If you look at all the possible VGA resolution numbers - it's alot - I have not tried all - just asked if maybe someone had a suggestion..
[09:06] <OerHeks> good luck!
[09:08] <alycidyne> Is there a simpler to way to do a kernel configuration change?
[09:09] <Thr0r> OerHeks: Well - now all of this chat suddenly was wiped out here - did you do that?
[09:13] <repete-og> Hi all
[09:13] <repete-og> Anyone here know much about Xorg? Looking to troubleshoot a couple of issues.
[09:15] <flog> Just ask what the issue is and if anyone knows they'll answer eventually.
[09:19] <repete-og> Thanks flog
[09:19] <flog> s/ask/explain
[09:20] <repete-og> 1) I have a high-resolution screen, so I change the screen resolution settings to scale to 200%. I would rather use a value between 100% and 200% (say 150%),  so I'm wondering if that can be done elsewhere.
[09:21] <repete-og> 2) I'm trying to troubleshoot getting gestures working with my trackpad, and noticed that the log files for Xorg are not in /var/log/. So where does Xorg log to?
[09:23] <flog> xllLllsssk
[09:23] <flog> oops
[09:26] <flog> repete-og: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/06/enable-fractional-scaling-ubuntu-19-04 is this what you want to do?
[09:29] <repete-og> flog, I believe so. :-) Thanks.
[09:30] <Thr0r> OerHeks: Sometimes it happens that SW supersedes HW - I have seen it before, that is why I ask this - for YOU - silly question..
[09:31] <repete-og> flog, works like a charm. Thanks!
[09:51] <flog> repete-og: second hit on google....
[11:38] <snowm0n> Hi all anyone familiar with how you can install chrome per user and not per device?
[11:45] <groks> snowm0n, https://askubuntu.com/questions/339/how-can-i-install-a-package-without-root-access
[11:46] <groks> you can use that method to install the chrome deb to the user home dir, might be a pain
[11:46] <groks> never tried it with chrome but only small trivial packages with little to no deps
[11:50] <snowm0n> @groks thank you i will look into it
[11:51] <isomari> greetings, is there a repo for enlightenment e23?
[11:51] <isomari> for cosmic and eoan?
[12:03] <LuckyMan> what's the status on the skype snap? does it work ok?
[12:13] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:25] <OerHeks> LuckyMan, it should work.
[13:14] <ELFrederich> With RPM based package managers I can do proper source level modifications.  Is this possible on Ubuntu?  By proper I mean there is a process and set of tools which gets the sources, applies the patches, and builds new .rpm files.
[13:20] <pragmaticenigma> ELFrederich: I know that the package management in Ubuntu allows you to retrieve source files with the packages you install. I'm not certain, but would believe, that you can modify those and be able to re-package them. You may have better luck with your question in #ubuntu-app-devel or possibly #ubuntu-devel
[13:22] <OerHeks> ELFrederich,  there is alien, but no guarantee it is proper. just usefull to unpack
[13:22] <OerHeks> !info alien
[13:24] <pragmaticenigma> Good catch OerHeks ... I missed that last part, thought they were looking to build .deb
[13:29] <geirha> I also interpreted it as a "can dpkg do this too?" question, and the answer to that would be yes
[13:36] <MrCrackPot> With this stack overflow answer https://askubuntu.com/a/1041742 section 3 im a little lost where to add the configuration
[13:37] <MrCrackPot> should i place a file in /etc/NetworkManager/con.d/user_dnsmasq_config.conf.d
[13:37] <MrCrackPot> or use /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.d
[13:39] <ioria> ELFrederich, yeah, it's not clear what you want; do you want to build rpm pkgs on ubuntu ?
[13:48] <ELFrederich> ioria: we have an internal patch we'd like to apply to our systems.  We have RHEL and Ubuntu based systems.  We created a pipeline which generates .rpm files with our patch applied.  We'd like to do the same for .deb files
[13:50] <ioria> ELFrederich,  so you want to build a .deb pkg  ok; you can check this https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial and the  dpkg-buildpackage  command
[13:54] <pragmaticenigma> MrCrackPot: As the SO article mentions, systemd-resolved already does caching. Is there a particular use case why you wish to add in dnsmasq?
[14:00] <MrCrackPot> pragmaticenigma, im trying to use prax.cr https://github.com/ysbaddaden/prax.cr but im finding it difficult to get it up and running. I know .dev no longer works because of google but .test should be fine
[14:27] <pragmaticenigma> MrCrackPot: If you are looking for safe TLDs... Use .home or .local ... ICANN has those reserved. As far as dnsmasq, is there any reason you cannot add the entries to /etc/hosts instead?
[14:48] <MrCrackPot> yer apparently the dev says that it should work without dnsmasq but hasnt updated the wiki
[14:48] <MrCrackPot> so now i need to undo all the changes i made and then try again with a clean install
[14:49] <pragmaticenigma> MrCrackPot: Sounds like in the end it will be better with less to maintain :-)
[14:50] <MrCrackPot> yer im thinking to just go back to localhost:3000 and use puma for ssl instead of prax its a lot less work
[14:51] <pragmaticenigma> MrCrackPot: looking at the project page, the mention: If your distribution uses systemd-resolved, just use the .localhost TLD instead of .test —be prepared to fight against systemd if you want to use another TLD, or consider switching to a systemd free Linux.
[15:07] <jazzpi> my `journalctl -xe` contains multiple instances of "kernel: PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key". i believe these occur when the virtualbox and nvidia modules are loaded (not sure about vboxdrv, because it appears in lsmod). the nvidia module then fails to load and my screens are not recognized properly (one only has a 1024x768 mode, the other doesn't show up at all). secure boot is disabled. any
[15:07] <jazzpi> ideas what could cause this?
[15:10] <jazzpi> ubuntu version is 16.04, i've tried with kernel 4.15.0-70 and 4.15.0-69, and i've purged the old nvidia drivers and installed nvidia-430. also, when i start nvidia-settings, the signature message appears multiple times, each followed by "kernel: module: x86/modules: Skipping invalid relocation target, existing value is nonzero for type 1, loc 00000000XXXXXXXX, val ffffffffYYYYYYYY with varying addresses
[15:16] <pragmaticenigma> jazzpi: where are you pulling your nvidia drivers from?
[15:20] <jazzpi> pragmaticenigma: not entirely sure how to check, but `apt-cache showpkg nvidia-430` shows `/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_graphics-drivers_ppa_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_binary-amd64_Packages`, so i'm guessing from here: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[15:24] <pragmaticenigma> jazzpi: what graphics card/chipset are you using?
[15:25] <jazzpi> GTX 750 Ti (GM107), which is a maxwell card
[15:30] <jazzpi> alright, i ran `apt purge nvidia*`, now it's using nouveau and recognizes my screen again, that will have to do for the moment. thanks anyways :)
[15:37] <skr> jazzpi, disable secure boot in bios. then try again nvidia driver
[15:38] <jazzpi> skr: secure boot is already disabled
[15:39] <skr> perhaps you are using a signed kernel, try installing a unsigned one
[16:14] <g3poandlsl> I have successfully joined a Ubuntu 18.04 server to an active directory domain with realmd and sssd following this guide: https://www.smbadmin.com/2018/06/connecting-ubuntu-server-1804-to-active.html
[16:14] <g3poandlsl> I can get tickets with kinit just fine, and id (username) returns UID and GIDs from LDAP as expected.  However, when I try to log in with an active directory user account, the login fails.
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> g3poandlsl: there is also #ubuntu-server if you like
[16:17] <g3poandlsl> Logs show pam_unix(login:auth) authentication failure, followed by pam_sss(login:auth) authentication success
[16:17] <g3poandlsl> lotuspsychje, thank you, I will try there
[16:17] <jazzpi> skr: thanks, i'll try that when i have the time
[16:51] <octav1a> I have an annoying situation. I need to install ubuntu to another computer and the only USB I have (32gb sandisk) seems to get corruption reading squashFS when trying to read. Is there any way to disable the first, idk, 8GB space in the USB disk and try to write the live USB again?
[16:52] <tomreyn> squashfs corruption is often a result of a broken iso download (or impropoer write to the installer storage - something you can verify after writing)
[16:53] <tomreyn> another possible reason is lack of ram
[16:55] <tomreyn> to test the flash storage for fake size, you can use f3 (packaged in ubuntu, website is http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ )
[16:56] <octav1a> I tried a persistance USB install first, and when installing some packages on it, the write problems started. Then I tried formatting the USB and writing a non-persistant version just to install.
[16:56] <octav1a> so I think its safe to assume that there are some blocks failing on it
[16:56] <leftyfb> octav1a: you should watch dmesg while writing a new (freshly downloaded) ISO.
[16:57] <leftyfb> If you don't see errors, then the drive more than likely doesn't have any hardware defects
[16:57] <tomreyn> also, did you verify the iso checksum?
[16:57] <tomreyn> how much ram does this system have installed?
[16:58] <tomreyn> !checksum
[16:58] <octav1a> The one I am making the USB: 32GB, the one I am trying to install to 16GB. When in the persistant boot I saw many "input/output" errors when trying to apt upgrade
[17:01] <tomreyn> this can still be a result of an initially incoherent overlay file system, doesn't need to indicate physical storage issues.
[17:15] <Randolf> One of my desktop applications won't start in Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS.  When I try to start it from the command line, I see messages about "snap" that I don't understand.  How can I find out what's not working, and get it working?  Thanks.
[17:18] <ioria> Randolf, what application ? and what 's the error exactly ?
[17:23] <Randolf> I'm using Opera, which was installed from the GUI.  It's been working fine for the many months I've been using Linux, and just this morning it won't start -- no error, it just never starts when I click on the icon.
[17:23] <Randolf> At the shell when I type "opera" I get this:  You need to connect this snap to the gnome platform snap.
[17:24] <Randolf> It then goes on to tell me to use this command:  snap install gnome-3-28-1804
[17:24] <Randolf> I'm already using Gnome though, and I don't want to mess that up.
[17:24] <ioria> Randolf, can you paste 'snap list' ?
[17:25] <Randolf> Okay.
[17:27] <Randolf> ioria: https://www.paste.org/flat/101331
[17:28] <MrCrackPotBob> with systemd-resolve where do i add an entry to resolve .test domain to localhost
[17:28] <MrCrackPotBob> i tried with /etc/resolv.conf but didnt work same with $ systemd-resolve DOMAIN=~.test
[17:33] <crond> lol what, a TOS for an IRC channel?
[17:34] <crond> you guys are aware that a 'you have accepted this TOS even if you didn't read it' EULA isn't legally enforcable most places, right?
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> can we help you crond ?
[17:34] <crond> --> [Notice] -ChanServ- [#ubuntu] Welcome to #ubuntu! Please read the channel topic. This channel is logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com. Use of this channel implies acceptance of terms at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/TermsOfService
[17:35] <crond> That's just silly.  Saying that if one uses the channel they automagically accept your TOS is ludicrious.
[17:35] <MrCrackPotBob> really thats how facebook google etc etc etc all work
[17:35] <MrCrackPotBob> lol
[17:35] <OerHeks> Randolf,  how odd, opera on snapcraft gives 64.0.3417.92 https://snapcraft.io/opera .. and you opera-beta
[17:36] <crond> and it's not enforcable in the EU, MrCrackPotBob
[17:36] <DJones> crond: Do you have a point?
[17:36] <MrCrackPotBob> erm yes it is
[17:36] <ioria> Randolf, stable is 64.0.3417.92 ; you have 65.0.3467.38; and beta version is 65.0.3467.32
[17:36] <crond> MrCrackPotBob: No, it's not.
[17:36] <MrCrackPotBob> erm yes it is as there is no PPI here
[17:37] <ioria> Randolf, sy, but i don't get where you pulled that snap from
[17:37] <lotuspsychje> there are 3 snap opera's
[17:37] <DJones> crond: Yoou've jpined the channel, so by joining you accept the TOC, so feel free to leave the channel if you don't agrre
[17:38] <DJones> crond: Yoou've joined the channel, so by joining you accept the TOC, so feel free to leave the channel if you don't agree
[17:38] <crond> DJones: I am here and do not accept it, yet I exist
[17:39] <crond> so feel free to ban me or suck it up
[17:40] <DJones> crond: Don't waant to do that, but thats the requirements for using the chanel
[17:40] <Randolf> ioria: I just took the default that came with this installation of Linux.
[17:40] <Randolf> I didn't know that I'm on beta.
[17:40] <ioria> Randolf, opera is not a default snap
[17:41] <Randolf> Hmm.  Maybe I'm not remembering then.
[17:41] <Randolf> Is the "snap install gnome-3-28-1804" command safe to run, or will it try to replace my whole GNOME installation?
[17:41] <ioria> Randolf, yes, but you already have it
[17:43] <Randolf> Ah, yes, I see it in the list.  This is weird.
[17:44] <ioria> Randolf, you can try 2 things: remove that snap and install the correct one or  run     'snap connect opera:gnome-3-28-1804'
[17:45] <Randolf> The "snap connect opera:gnome-3-28-1804 gnome-3-28-1804" line didn't work.
[17:45] <Randolf> If I remove the snap, will I lose all my data files for Opera too?
[17:46] <ioria> Randolf, 'snap connect opera:gnome-3-28-1804 gnome-3-26-1604'
[17:47] <ioria> Randolf, sorry, 'snap connect opera:gnome-3-28-1804 gnome-3-28-1804'
[17:47] <Randolf> Yeah, that didn't do anything.
[17:47] <Randolf> Is there a log for snap somewhere I can check?
[17:48] <ioria> Randolf, can you paste 'snap find opera' ?
[17:50] <OerHeks> beta snap, i would drop it and go back to stable
[17:53] <ioria> Randolf, snaps logs to /var/log/syslog afaik
[17:54] <Randolf> Okay, thanks.
[17:54] <ioria> Randolf, can you paste 'snap find opera' ?
[17:54] <Randolf> I just got an emergency, and have to head off.  Thanks for your help.  I'll look into this when I get back.  (But I'll send that log first.)
[17:55] <Randolf> https://www.paste.org/flat/101332
[17:56] <Randolf> I'll be back.
[17:57] <ioria> Randolf, and you have 65.0.3467.38 ; try to run 'snap-discard-ns'
[17:58] <Randolf> snap-discard-ns: command not found
[18:01] <ioria> Randolf, ll /usr/lib/snapd/snap-discard-ns

[18:01] <ubuking> helpppppppppppppppp pöppppppppppppppppppppppppp
[18:02] <lotuspsychje> ubuking: dont troll again please
[18:02] <ubuking> have question
[18:05] <keden> When executing `uptime` on Ubuntu Server 19.10 it tells me I have 6 users (currently logged-in I suppose?), then I execute `users` and it's my own username 6 times, quite predictibly. I use tmux on this machine and only use it via SSH. Can I and should I remove users? Are these sessions?
[18:12] <Ben64> keden: what does it say when you do 'who'
[18:23] <akk> keden: Your terminal client may use login shells, so each terminal counts as a login
[18:23] <akk> and virtual consoles may also, if you're logged in on any of those.
[18:24] <akk> I currently have three users; I have two urxvts showing in X, plus a login on tty1.
[18:24] <akk> Most terminal clients can be set not to use loginShell if you don't like it (I like it and explicitly turn it on).
[18:33] <me> Hi,
[18:38] <Nomad_> Can anyone point me to a doc on enabling my bluetooth adapter on my Kali instance?  I'd like to get my headphones working but its saying no adapters.  Worked great yesterday in Kubuntu 18.04.  Latest Kali-rolling with kde plasma
[18:39] <Nomad_> googling isn't finding anything useful
[18:42] <JimBuntu> Kali isn't Ubuntu Nomad_ , not sure how much help the #Ubuntu support channel will be
[18:43] <Guest26105> Got a problem with apt-get install on a new 19.10. Any advice ? https://pastebin.com/jPQRM1fy
[18:43] <bumbar_> i guess i've managed to delete contents of /boot on an encrypted volume. i've booted from usb, chrooted to encrypted disk and reinstalled grub but now there's less files in there and update-grub is reporting "failed to connnect to lvmetad"
[18:44] <Nomad_> damnit, irssi but me in the wrong channel, in the same window
[18:44] <bumbar_> am i missing something?
[18:44] <Nomad_> in irssi, I've got #ubuntu and #kali in the same window, it didn't change to the kali chan when I joined, which is not the normal behavior.  re-asking there
[18:47] <mahavishvarupa> What's the recommended way to install packages from the command line?  apt-get or aptitude?
[18:50] <OerHeks> apt is superiour over apt-get, aptitude in not standard installed, but you can.
[18:55] <mahavishvarupa> Thanks OerHeks
[19:23] <elias_a> My Thinkpad X201 running 18.04 lost suddenly all sound devices. What should I do to get them back?
[19:33] <keden> Ben64: list of 6 users, who are all me. One of them has the IP address between brackets, the others all have "tmux".
[19:35] <keden> akk: I see, but why wouldn't it close when I exit the process on the remotely connected machine?
[19:36] <Mordoc> elias_a: Are the sound kernel modules still loaded? sudo lsmod | grep snd should get you started on this. Did this occur just after an update?
[19:40] <elias_a> Mordoc: They were and are. An old system. This mostly solved the issue: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/06/fix-no-sound-dummy-output-issue-in.html
[19:41] <elias_a> Mordoc: Still line in is missing...
[19:41] <TreyHarris> I have a lot of experience with Ubuntu as a server and shell workstation, but very little with it as a GUI. I just built a brand-new 18.04 LTS virtual from Ubuntu install iso, and after going through the first-login flow I tried to use the Software app. No matter what I try to install, it asks for my password (and checks it--I tried entering a wrong one to see), then downloads the package, and then
[19:41] <TreyHarris> puts a pin up error, "Unable to install {Application}: cannot perform the following tasks:" and that's it. ({Application} being the application I tried to install, not the literal string '{Application}'). I did an apt update and an upgrade of snapd; no change.
[19:42] <johnjay> TreyHarris: the cli is very friendly. with vfu, ncdu, and htop you don't even need a gui half the time
[19:42] <johnjay> i also void the software center unless i have to
[19:44] <TreyHarris> johnjay: I know--as I said, I've been using Ubuntu for shell login for 10 years or more.
[19:44] <TreyHarris> But I'd like to install Discord and Sublime Text
[19:45] <sarnold> TreyHarris: try apt install foo or snap install foo depending upon what you're trying to install; hopefully there'll be better error messages there
[19:46] <TreyHarris> sarnold:thank you
[19:49] <TreyHarris> sarnold: from snap install discord I get, "- Download snap "gnome-3-26-1604" (98) from channel "stable" (local error: tls: bad record MAC)"
[19:50] <TreyHarris> So I tried snap install gnome-3-26-1604; it dies with the above error, too
[19:51] <johnjay> TreyHarris: i assume there's some ppa thingie for discord?
[19:51] <johnjay> i'm scared to try installing skype after it failed last time as well
[19:52] <TreyHarris> johnjay:ah, you're saying it's going to try to install GNOME from Discord? Yes, that is scary
[19:53] <johnjay> no no i just meant trying to install skype didn't work for me before in ubuntu
[19:53] <johnjay> so i'm hesitant to try installing either of those
[19:53] <ioria> TreyHarris, the errors points to 'disabling checksum offloading'
[19:53] <pragmaticenigma> TreyHarris, what command are you typing to install the desired application?
[19:54] <TreyHarris> johnjay: I ran apt policy and all my sources are either security or archive.ubuntu.com
[19:54] <sarnold> TreyHarris: any chance you've got TCP or IP offloading on your NIC? those often lead to packet corruption that could induce those bad record MAC failures
[19:54] <ioria> TreyHarris, you can do it with ethtool or making a script in networkd-dispatcher
[19:54] <TreyHarris> pragmaticenigma: `snap install discord`. But initially I tried using the Software GUI
[19:55] <TreyHarris> sarnold:it's a virtual, so I'd need to look into that, let my google "TCP offloading"
[19:55] <ioria> TreyHarris, sudo ethtool --offload <my-interface>  rx off  tx off
[19:56] <kieppie> hi folks
[19:56] <kieppie> is the blueproximity effectively dead?
[19:56] <TreyHarris> ioria:thank you. Can I see what it's set to now before running that?
[19:57] <ioria> TreyHarris, ethtool -k|--show-features|--show-offload devname
[19:58] <johnjay> TreyHarris: ah i was wrong. you just do sudo snap install discord --classic and it installs for me
[19:58] <johnjay> i guess discord clients are open source but skype is not?
[19:59] <sarnold> iirc --classic removes all sandboxing, is that intentional?
[20:00] <TreyHarris> ioria: if I run `sudo ethtool --show-offload eth0 | grep rx` I get `rx-all: off [fixed]` as well as 9 more lines. I'm not sure which one is the one t olook at
[20:00] <johnjay> sarnold: i don't know, it's just what the wiki said to do
[20:01] <johnjay> hrm i thought i was on the ubuntu wiki but it was a different site.
[20:02] <ioria> TreyHarris, paste sudo ethtool  --show-features eth0
[20:02] <TreyHarris> Well, I just ran the ethtool -k into a file, so I'll check it again after I make the changes with `sudo ethtool --offload <my-interface>  rx off  tx off`
[20:04] <rypervenche> johnjay: Discord is closed-source.
[20:06] <TreyHarris> ioria:thank you, that seemed to have worked for gnome-3-26-1604. I'll try discord next
[20:06] <johnjay> ok
[20:06] <ioria> TreyHarris,ok; that snap should already bee installed btw
[20:07] <TreyHarris> ioria: perhaps, but it still gave the hmac error before and now not. The install of Discord worked too
[20:07] <TreyHarris> Now I'll try Sublime Text via the Software GUI
[20:07] <ioria> TreyHarris,ok, good
[20:08] <TreyHarris> No, same cryptic error, `Unable to install "Sublime Text": cannot perform the following tasks:`, and that's it.
[20:09] <ioria> TreyHarris,  snap list  | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:10] <TreyHarris> ioria: https://termbin.com/vsfj
[20:13] <ioria> TreyHarris,  sudo snap  install sublime-text
[20:16] <TreyHarris> ioria: https://termbin.com/86lo
[20:17] <ioria> TreyHarris,  sudo snap  install sublime-text --classic
[20:17] <TreyHarris> ioria: I presume that will work. But there was an underlying issue with Discord and we found it--I'd like to find the underlying issue here, too
[20:18] <ioria> TreyHarris,  about the 'classic' thing or about the error in GUI ?
[20:19] <TreyHarris> ioria: the GUI
[20:19] <TreyHarris> I suppose it wouldn't hurt to install it on the CLI and then uninstall it before retrying in the GUI
[20:21] <ioria> TreyHarris, are you fully updated ? what's your kernel ?
[20:22] <TreyHarris> Yes, I just removed Discord with snap and then I installed Discord with the GUI, so that should be safe
[20:22] <ses1984> is there any possible issues going with ubuntu package mirrors now? i'm seeing a strange problem where doing apt-get upgrade is periodically getting 404s on security updates,  postgresql-client-common (190ubuntu0.1 postgresql-client (10+190ubuntu0.1)
[20:22] <TreyHarris> ioria: I did a full update reboot cycle, yes.
[20:23] <ioria> TreyHarris, uname -r
[20:24] <TreyHarris> ioria: Linux trey-ubuntu 5.0.0-36-generic #39~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 12 11:09:50 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[20:24] <TreyHarris> oh, sorry
[20:24] <TreyHarris> ioria: 5.0.0-36-generic
[20:25] <ioria> TreyHarris, it's ok; so it worked with gnome software this time ?
[20:26] <TreyHarris> ioria: https://termbin.com/ui5k
[20:26] <TreyHarris> Discord did work with the gui install, yes
[20:26] <sarnold> ses1984: it's possible that you retrieved the package lists from one mirror that had received the update but then apt tried to receive the package from a mirror that had not yet received the update; hopefully it'll work out if you try again
[20:26] <TreyHarris> But the above termbin shows that even with --classic sublime-text still isn't working
[20:27] <ioria> TreyHarris,  and sublime keeps failing ?
[20:27] <ses1984> sarnold: it's happening for 40 minutes
[20:27] <TreyHarris> ioria: ioria: you mean you want me to run https://termbin.com/ui5k again?
[20:28] <sarnold> ses1984: hm
[20:28] <TreyHarris> ioria: oh, curious, yes, it worked the second time
[20:28] <TreyHarris> But I didn't do anything between those two invocations
[20:28] <ioria> TreyHarris,  really ?
[20:28] <TreyHarris> Yes, I just hit up-arrow enter
[20:29] <TreyHarris> And it worked
[20:29] <Siamaster> While trying to install Windows, The installer went mad and created the System Reserved Partition on a wrong drive, where my keep my backups!
[20:29] <ioria> TreyHarris, i see
[20:29] <Siamaster> I'm trying to use testdisk to recover the files
[20:29] <ses1984> sarnold: surely someone, somewhere, maybe in a dingy basement, maybe in a skyscraper...has noticed an uptick in 404s to the ubuntu package repos? ... right?
[20:29] <ioria> TreyHarris, but remember that the 'ethtool --offload eth0 ' is only temporary
[20:30] <Siamaster> My ext4 partition is found but I can't list the files
[20:30] <TreyHarris> And it works on gnome-software when I tried a second time, too
[20:30] <ses1984> are any of those metrics/statuses public?
[20:30] <Siamaster> It says "No file found, filesystem may be damaged.   "
[20:30] <Siamaster> Are they gone?
[20:30] <TreyHarris> ioria: no, I don't rememmber... sorry, I missed it when you told me. One moment while I read scrollback more carefully.
[20:31] <ioria> TreyHarris, https://michael.mulqueen.me.uk/2018/08/disable-offloading-netplan-ubuntu/
[20:32] <ioria> TreyHarris, it will be reseted when you reboot
[20:34] <TreyHarris> Oh, thank you--I re-read the scrollback but didn't see that. Sorry, I need to read more carefully
[20:34] <TreyHarris> I haven't rebooted since I first tried to install something, though
[20:34] <TreyHarris> I rebooted just once, after applying updates
[20:35] <ioria> TreyHarris, it's ok
[20:36] <ioria> TreyHarris, better to avoid the zombieload :þ
[20:37] <sarnold> ses1984: I'm able to retrieve that file fine from all the IPv4-reachable mirrors; which mirror is your apt talking with? (ss ought to be able to report the IP) are you using a caching proxy that might have cached a 404 for too long? is your ISP doing transparent proxying that might cache a 404 for too long?

[21:55] <noalternative> My problem with the second link is the instructions for adding lines to xorg.,conf   When I open it with sudo gedit it appears to be empty, so where was xorg moved?
[21:55] <noalternative> The claim it is /etc/X11/xorg.conf but the file is empty.
[21:56] <noalternative> There are no instructions for switchable graphics.
[22:07] <noalternative> noalternative: anyway pm me, if you can help?
[22:11] <Siamaster> I have problems installing ubuntu. I could just install both Windows and Linux Lime. But with ubuntu, first it doesn't detect my main monitor and then it crashes on "copying files". I've tried both 18.04 and 19.10
[22:11] <Siamaster> what can I do to install ubuntu?
[22:12] <Siamaster> what linux distro is closest to ubuntu?
[22:12] <Siamaster> I hate linux lime, it's so laggy
[22:14] <keepguessing> lordcirth: i am on ubuntu 18.04. The ubuntu is running on fusion vm. This was working and has recentely stopped working.
[22:15] <keepguessing> I have done apt-get upgrade couple of times.
[22:15] <noalternative> What is the make and model of computer your using.  Is it a desktop or laptop?
[22:15] <keepguessing> noalternative: are you asking me?
[22:15] <noalternative> I am speaking to Siamaster
[22:16] <keepguessing> noalternative: ah ok. sure thanks
[22:16] <Siamaster> It's desktop
[22:16] <Siamaster> I've had problems with installing ubuntu some months now
[22:16] <noalternative> what brand and what is the model called
[22:18] <noalternative> Is it Hewlett Packard, Lenovo, Dell, something else?
[22:18] <Siamaster> I don't know man! I'm not here to really answer questions I have 1000 problems
[22:18] <Siamaster> none of those
[22:19] <Siamaster> sorry man, I just lost some important data
[22:19] <keepguessing> I think I am facing this issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1822351
[22:19] <noalternative> Well it is hard to help you if you can't give us information about your hardware.
[22:20] <aleksandrdvorkin> can someone help me mount the Macbook drive to ubuntu
[22:21] <aleksandrdvorkin> i issue this command it returns invalid argument

[22:21] <Siamaster> noalternative how can you help me after I give you hardware information?
[22:21] <Siamaster> and sorry, I thought you were just asking
[22:22] <noalternative> Well I can learn if you're hardware meats the system requirements, and I can look up any issues that may require a different approach to installation,
[22:29] <noalternative> What you say you installed linux lime, do you mean linux mint?
[22:29] <noalternative> or linux lite?
[22:32] <harwiltz> Hello all. I'm working on my lab's computer (ubuntu 16.04) and running into weird issues trying to install python3-dev. When I run sudo apt install python3-dev, it tries to install version 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.5, and then I get 404 errors. Checking the repos, I see this version in fact does not exist, the repos currently have
[22:33] <harwiltz> 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.9. When I run apt seach python3-dev, once again I see the ...16.04.5 version. Anyone know what's up with this?
[22:33] <noalternative> Sorry Siamaster, I mean when you say you installed linux lime etc....
[22:33] <Siamaster> Linux mint with cinnamon sorry
[22:34] <kostkon> !info python3-dev xenial
[22:35] <harwiltz> ubottu sorry I meant python3.5-dev
[22:35] <harwiltz> !info python3.5-dev xenial
[22:36] <harwiltz> kostkon sorry I meant 3.5-dev everywhere
[22:36] <kostkon> harwiltz, you could try changing your mirror in Software & Updates. Also, apt-cache policy python3.5-dev
[22:37] <harwiltz> kostkon my mirrors look fine though
[22:37] <harwiltz> policy shows the 16.04.5 version too
[22:38] <noalternative> Siamaster.   I think your computer is older, and probably would do better with a nonpae installation of say lubuntu https://docs.lubuntu.net/lubuntu_installation_on_old_computers.html
[22:38] <kostkon> harwiltz, could you pastebin it just in case
[22:39] <harwiltz> kostkon sure, but I just checked manually. Anyway I'll pastebin it
[22:40] <harwiltz> https://pastebin.com/sERRwdUz
[22:42] <sarnold> harwiltz: did you run apt update first?
[22:42] <harwiltz> sarnold yeah
[22:44] <kostkon> harwiltz, try changing to a different mirror
[22:45] <harwiltz> kostkon but something must be wrong before the mirror if apt search is showing the wrong version, right?
[22:46] <kostkon> harwiltz, most likely that mirror hasn't synced with the main for some time and is a bit behind
[22:46] <kostkon> harwiltz, try changing to the main one, always a safe choice
[22:47] <harwiltz> what's the main one? I think I am on the main one
[22:47] <noalternative> Siamaster here is a direct link to the lubuntu alternet install cd. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO
[22:48] <noalternative> Siamaster just follow the instructions on the bottom of the last link.  Pretty simple.  Most likely to work.
[22:48] <sarnold> the ca.archive.ubuntu.com address just redirects to the US mirrors
[22:48] <sarnold> (it used to be both UK and US mirrors until pals complained about the slow transit to the UK :)
[22:49] <Siamaster> noalternative thanks a lot man! I will try that
[22:49] <Siamaster> what is Lubuntu?
[22:49] <Siamaster> another version of ubuntu?
[22:49] <sarnold> harwiltz: are you usuing a caching proxy like squid-deb-proxy or apt-cacher-ng? or is your ISP performing transparent proxying?
[22:49] <harwiltz> sarnold so wouldn't this just be the main one?
[22:49] <noalternative> It is a lightweight version of ubuntu for older computers.
[22:49] <harwiltz> sarnold I'm not sure ;)
[22:50] <noalternative> It has lxde desktop environment instead of gnome but otherwise works with ubuntu repositories.
[22:50] <Siamaster> Thanks! I will try that
[22:51] <sarnold> harwiltz: yeah..
[22:52] <sarnold> harwiltz: try this thing, see what happens http://whatismyip.network/detect-isp-proxy-tool/
[22:53] <noalternative> Siamaster one last thing,. Install the 32bit version, not 64
[22:53] <noalternative> 64bit
[22:53] <Siamaster> Why?
[22:53] <Siamaster> actually
[22:53] <Siamaster> good idea, I will try
[23:06] <noalternative> I am still seeking help setting up hybrid graphics with ati drivers.  pm me if you can help.
[23:06] <sarnold> you'll get far more success if you report what you tried, what didn't work, what error messages you get
[23:15] <jilocasin> evening everyone
[23:16] <jilocasin> Does anyone know how I can find out the default programs installed by Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS and when/by whom a particular program was first installed?
[23:19] <sarnold> jilocasin: I believe this is the best way to find out what's shipped by default https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.bionic/
[23:20] <sarnold> jilocasin: the "when" can be found by inspecting /var/log/dpkg.log
[23:21] <sarnold> jilocasin: the "by whom" can be found by inspecting /var/log/auth.log if everyone uses 'sudo apt install ...' commands
[23:21] <jilocasin> sarnold: thanks.
[23:22] <jilocasin> sarold: I've noticed x11 on one of my ubuntu server servers and I don't remember installing it myself (I just use ssh) so I am wondering if it's a default install, or if someone did it trying to get some sort of UI
[23:24] <Ben64> what do you mean by x11
[23:24] <sarnold> jilocasin: X shouldn't be in the default server -- I don't see it installed on a system I set up a week ago
[23:27] <jilocasin> Ben64: gsfonts-x11, libx11-6, libx11-data, x11-common
[23:27] <sarnold> hmm did someone want to ssh -X xterm on that thing?
[23:28] <sarnold> I've got these libx11-6:arm64 libx11-data but not x11-commnon installed on this
[23:28] <jilocasin> sarnold: perhaps, there was a couple of MSSQL dba's that thought they needed to log into the machine to review the postgresql instance and were horrified that it didn't have a GUI.
[23:29] <jilocasin> sarnold: They might have gotten someone on the server team to try an *fix* that problem.
[23:29] <sarnold> jilocasin: heh, yeah, how can you right click and get properties if you can't even use the mouse? :)
[23:29]  * jilocasin off for a bit.
[23:34] <seanh> Hi, desperately trying to fix a friend's laptop. ThinkPad X1 Carbon running Ubuntu 18.04. It has simply stopped detecting an HDMI external display. Doesn't show in display settings. Was working before
[23:34] <seanh> Not getting anywhere with google results
[23:34] <seanh> Any ideas?
[23:36] <sarnold> seanh: I've had some frustrations with lenovo docks and my x16 g6 -- quite often the display only works if I boot the computer with the display hooked up and the dock plugged in etc
[23:36] <sarnold> it's way less dynamic than I'd expect
[23:38] <seanh> No dock involved here
[23:39] <seanh> I've tried rebooting with the monitor already plugged in. Booting with it unplugged and then plugging it in. Tried booting older kernels. Tried LightDM and GDM. So far nothing
[23:39] <sarnold> aha those feel like things that should  have worked
[23:39] <sarnold> can you see it with xrandr?
[23:39] <sarnold> anything funny in dmesg?
[23:39] <seanh> Also tried different HDMI cables, and a different monitor (exact same make and model of monitor though) none of them work
[23:39] <sarnold> double-check the cable is solidly seated?
[23:39] <sarnold> aha
[23:39] <sarnold> any other laptops to test with?
[23:40] <seanh> One of the monitors I've tried does work with another Ubuntu computer
[23:40] <seanh> But the other computer is DisplayPort not HDMI though
[23:41] <seanh> xrandr says "HDMI-1 disconnected"
[23:41] <seanh> Also "HDMI-2 disconnected"
[23:42] <sarnold> hmmmm
[23:43] <seanh> This actually happened to this laptop before a few months ago and it took me forever to get to the bottom of it
[23:43] <sarnold> I'm pretty sure my external monitor actually showed the lenovo splash during early boot
[23:43] <seanh> And I can't remember what the solution was last time
[23:43] <sarnold> try if it works *before* ubuntu is even involved
[23:44] <seanh> If I go into the BIOS, it just shows on the internal display
[23:45] <sarnold> maybe that's just something the dock does :/ I didn't play around much with directly-attached monitor..
[23:48] <ozzzo> seanh: what caused it a few months ago?
[23:49] <sarnold> seanh: alright, I've got two guesses left: (a) fn+f7 (b) firmware updates
[23:49] <seanh> ozzzo: I can't remember, which is really annoying
[23:49] <seanh> I've been trying Fn+F7, that doesn't seem to do anything
[23:51] <seanh> Just opened the "Software" app and clicked check for updates: it has two ThinkPad Carbin 6th firmware updates
[23:51] <seanh> I'll try installing them
[23:56] <seanh> Still nothing after rebooting after the firmware upgrades
[23:58] <sarnold> blech
[23:59] <sarnold> maybe a live USB thing? perhaps non-ubuntu?
