[00:08] Hi, I got a Intenso USB pendrive (transcend jetflash chip) and I got "no medium found" errors on it, because I erroneously tried to wrote an ISO on it, where I had to partition/format it by an HP Format Tool and copy the files of the ISO on it and then issue syslinux on it. [00:11] anyone interested in an espeak date command? [00:12] anyone? [00:12] I didn't see the question [00:13] I'm using bionic on a laptop via a macOS laptop running Barrier... as a result my linux box gets a lot of unintended "Super" key presses... etc... On several occasions I'm seeing the Ubuntu task bar go mostly invisible. All that's left is a mostly alpha band at the bottom of the screen, and the "Show Applications" button in the lower right. Anyone else seeing this? Reported it? Have a good work around? [00:13] I don't even know what epseak is so I'm unlikely to need to know a date command for it [00:14] epic_null i asked if anyone wanted a date command for espeak [00:18] Ah. [00:18] Anyone else seeing the taskbar vanish? [00:18] How can I recover the usb pendrive from this "no medium found" error? It's unusable. `sudo sfdisk -l /dev/sdk` -> "No edium found" [00:19] floogy: erase the beginning of it [00:19] dd if=zero of=/dev/zero give the same error [00:20] So while troubleshooting why my server doesn't have network access after being moved to new (to it, but still an upgrade) hardware, I notice a message saying ifupdown has been replaced by netplan(5). Does my fix need to be changed in response to this message? [00:20] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdk gives the same error [00:21] sounds dodgy then tbh [00:21] also sorry Blue, I also don't use espeak, so I wouldn't know anything about the features that users want or need [00:21] floogy, If the hardware/drive has failed, there is no way to use software to "fix" or access it. You need at least the drive's controller working to access any of the memory cells [00:21] zeroing the first few megs should bring it back [00:21] if not I guess it's just broken [00:22] Does your partitioning software see it? [00:23] gparted didn't detect it. The irony, I first was able to "reanimate" it by using a transcend tool under windows https://cdn.transcend-info.com/files/special/JetFlash%20Online%20Recovery%20User%20Manual%20_EN_.pdf [00:23] floogy: this thing sounds frustrating enough that it'd be worth just using a standard USB mass storage device [00:23] But I vcan create a partition on /dev/sdk1 of 6GB [00:24] Hm. [00:26] I'm accidentally hitting the windows key a lot (details above) and seeing the taskbar eventually disappear. Except the "Show Applications" button. Is anyone else seeing this? [00:28] I found this working `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1 bs=1M count=6000 conv=fsync` like mentioned here https://de.switch-case.com/54819950 [00:30] ok... just discovered the taskbar sometimes returns after a screen lock [00:32] $ sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdk1 [00:32] sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdk1 /mnt/usbstick/ [00:32] ~$ df -h /mnt/usbstick/ [00:32] Dateisystem Größe Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf [00:32] /dev/loop0 5,9G 4,0K 5,9G 1% /mnt/usbstick [00:33] loop0 ?? [00:33] hmm... never mind, apparently the solution I found is not gonna help for multiple reasons [00:34] https://bpaste.net/raw/Y2DGA [00:34] Yepp. Bizarre [00:35] anyone running 20.04? [00:37] z1_: there's probably more folks in #ubuntu+1 [00:38] floogy: very weird [00:38] floogy: your sfdisk command is to partition *inside* a partition [00:38] oih [00:38] let me re-read that more carefullly :) [00:39] Yes, but I did issue it that way, due to the error on the device itself [00:39] floogy: so, try ls -l /dev/sdk* [00:39] I wonder if /dev/sdk1 is actually a six gigabyte file instead of a block device [00:40] can you just unmount /dev/loop0? [00:42] or losetup -d /dev/loop0 ? [00:43] Yes, that could be. Maybe. I'll look into fstab [00:44] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:25 sdk -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/host9/target9:0:0/9:0:0:0/block/sdk [00:44] and /dev/sdk1?

[00:49] oh, also, hello everyone :) [00:50] Okay so I checked lspci, and it's showing a lot of information for a missing driver, so I don't think it's that. It's not showing up in ifconfig though, and the 70-persistent-net.rules file does not exist. Does anyone have any reccomendations of what to look at next? [00:50] semitones: I can help with the 'and update it' part :) update-grub [00:50] Semitones, is the rest of the installation going swimmingly? [00:50] semitones: but of course you've got to have a mostly-happy /etc/ /boot etc for it to work [00:51] epic_null, no errors until that point :) [00:51] If it'ss otherwise installed, sarnold i going the way I was gonna go [00:51] So I know grub is already installed somewhere [00:51] because I am installing ubuntu next to OMV [00:52] just run the update-grub command (can't remember if there's a file that you write to first... that may just be for customs though) [00:52] so do I need to chroot into there, and update grub? [00:52] I'm going to see what happens if I just do update-grub [00:53] wait, is there a way to find out which HDD grub is installed on already? [00:53] update-grub takes care of all that for you [00:54] so I get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'. [00:55] I'm not sure what kind of state I left the installation in when I killed ubiquity [00:56] losetup -D doesn't detach the sdk1 loop0 https://bpaste.net/show/YBQQC [00:56] Wait isn't there a grub rescue utility that you can use if you made a mess of your installation and just want it to work (albiet not nessesarily in a pretty way)? I'm pretty sure I've had to use it to get my laptop not booting to windows [00:57] epic_null, yeah that's super grub disk. I already tried it and it hung [00:58] I think I have to chroot into wherever grub is... [00:58] normally, command are case sensitive on Unix, so -d should be used. Not sure about losetup though [00:58] -d = --detach [00:59] (AFAIR) [01:00] I don't think Grub works like the rest of Linux - it's a boot loader, not an operating system [01:01] LOSETUP(8) Detach all associated loop devices: losetup -D [01:06] You know what... looking at the contents of my drive (mostly early-dev files), I'm thinking it may be easier to just reinstall this and hope that it's an error related to hardware/configuration incompatibility [01:08] I ran grub-install from the live cd and it exited no problem... I just don't know if it knows about both linux partitions... so I guess I will try to chroot into it and update-grub now [01:09] ugh now I get the error /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [01:09] this is why I don't understand chroot [01:09] * BlueBomber ooof [01:13] aha [01:13] I didn't understand how to bind the virtual directories or what not and I have copy-pasta'd enough [01:13] but the thing that I don't understand [01:13] is when update grub in the chroot runs [01:14] it doesn't find the linux image in the other partition [01:14] loop0 is attached to the usb partition? https://bpaste.net/show/IZE4Y [01:18] ok... and now I decided to chroot into my recently installed ubuntu partition [01:18] and update-grub finds both oses, great [01:19] \question for you sarnold [01:19] after I update-grub do I need to do anhthing else [01:19] or is that the one [01:19] that should do it [01:19] word [01:19] here it goes! [01:19] good luck :) [01:19] thanks [01:25] ok so the old grub is still what booted up [01:25] I think I have to make sure to grub-install when I'm in the chrooted environment, and then update-grub [01:25] *which* grub is selected might be a feature of your bios [01:25] if you've got several installed anyweay [01:26] yeah I wish I knew where this other one was installed [01:26] if it's on sda's MBR [01:26] or sdc's MBR [01:26] I've been using BIOS to try booting specifically from sda, and it couldn't [01:26] it said something like invalid systems disk [01:27] but then it booted up fine [01:27] so I don't know if it tried sdb [01:27] or what [01:27] I guess more experimentation is needed [01:28] back when I did dual booting things I always yanked one drive and inserted the other.. [01:29] lol true [01:31] hi [01:32] hey aleksandrdvorkin [01:33] i have a problem when trying to login to my dns address (the free ip address) i get a modem configuration page open when i try to access the Basic Configuration of my modem it wont accept the password and username DO I NEED TO RESET THE MODEM and use default username and password? [01:34] * BlueBomber is curious who in here is still in school [01:36] aleksandrdvorkin: whta does it mean to "login to my dns address"? [01:37] just trying to open the site address that i registered [01:37] who it works! [01:38] what server do you expect to have on that IP address? is that IP address your modem's external address? [01:38] #School_Games_and_code [01:38] thanks for joining the adventure sarnold and epic_null [01:38] yes [01:46] Can anyone help with connecting my phone to ubuntu? I want to acess phone's storage [01:47] plug in? [01:47] Nothing happens when I connect it and Usb debbuging is turned on [01:47] is it iphone? [01:47] Yes, over the cable [01:47] set phone connect as storage? [01:47] Huawei P9Lite [01:47] No option pops on the phone [01:47] must [01:48] (if Android) [01:48] Im telling you man, fresh install [01:48] change cable [01:48] some are power only [01:49] bofanko: the other day another user in here was using jmtpfs and mtp-tools to do phone over a wire things; of course he was in here because his USB ports no longer worked after doing so.. [01:49] bofanko: adb is another popular way to do phone things with your computer [01:49] if the phone says nothing, thre is no usb connection and adb won't work too [01:50] don' tyou have to go tap that phone version informatoin thing seven times to get into dev mode before adb will work? [01:50] Zeitkind, you were right. You learn something new every day. Guess that was a power only cable. [01:50] or a broken one.. ^^ [01:51] hehe [01:51] Yeah but the charge time is the same so I doubt it [01:51] And it is new [01:51] if it's broken then it's bes tto cut an end off before discarding it; if it's power-only then I hope it's bright orange :) [01:52] sarnold, sorry what do you mean by bright orange? [01:53] bofanko: something like this :) https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51DKKHV8qlL._SX425_.jpg [01:53] well i connect my iphone and a window with the iphone contents pops up on mY macbook but nothing in Ubuntu that runs withing the VBox [01:53] vbox need addons to see usb [01:54] which is? [01:54] :) [01:55] sarnold, I'll cut the cable then lol [01:55] "VirtualBox 6.0.14 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" [01:55] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.0.14/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.14.vbox-extpack [01:56] not free! [01:56] no open source [01:56] but free for personla use [01:56] Zeitkind i have the extension pack installed [01:56] then check if your VM actually gets access to the usb device [01:56] oh i see [01:56] it [01:57] its under devices says IPHONE [01:57] Apple Inc Iphone [01:57] Failed to attach it though [01:57] wait.. "iPhone"? [01:57] is your hypervisor set to pass through that device and prevent the host os from using it? [01:58] sarnold what is hypervisor [01:58] iPhones do not work with Linux [01:58] it's Apple, stupid! [01:59] get FileApp or similar and use network [01:59] but its listed under the Devices [01:59] in USB [02:00] yes, but it does not work as a storage device [02:00] (which Apple tries to prevent for years now) [02:00] so use iTunes, use Network or get a better phone (any Android will work...) [02:01] i use icloud download [02:02] my last iPhone was a 4, now works as an alarm clock for my kids [02:03] aleksandrdvorkin: vbox or qemu or xen or whatever [02:05] sarnold: iPhones do not work as a storage device, they just show up as.. useless iPhones on the usb bus [02:05] but they do work a camera storage [02:05] as [02:05] so you can get photos off, but nothing else [02:05] so the photos can be accessed? [02:06] they should AFAIR, but Apple might have changed that too [02:06] long ago.. [02:08] and under the Devices Network i see en5:Iphone USB2 [02:08] modem [02:08] usb networking [02:08] so i can connect through my iphone to internet from Ubuntu in Vbox? [02:09] nowadays quite.. useless [02:10] another question if my Virtual box Network set to Bridged adapter could that cause a problem connection to my modem like the modem wont accept the password for the admin [02:10] it is more or less the same as tethering by wifi or bluetooth [02:12] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPhone_tethering [02:19] Doesn’t ZFS Boot on Ubuntu 19.10 support any kind of full disk encryption? [02:24] ToeSnacks: I'm not sure what status it's at now, but it looks like fde may come later https://github.com/orgs/ubuntu/projects/1#card-27804217 [02:25] sarnold: thank you. [02:25] ToeSnacks: I followed rlaager's ubuntu zfs guide for 18.04 (but on 19.04) and things mostly seem to work -- it was a bit of a pain but at least it was well-documented :) [02:25] ToeSnacks: I haven't been brave enough to try an upgrade yet and see if it still works with 19.10.. [02:26] Does the guide outline how to set up encryption? [02:26] yes [02:26] https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS [02:26] Great thank you again. === zbenjamin is now known as Guest17043 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:32] [02:34] still have my split buttons.. https://imgur.com/BAPek6V [02:34] anyone a hint? ^^ [02:37] Zeitkind: split? [02:37] yeah, neither right nor left, one is left, one is right, yellow.. gone [02:37] Guess thats due to the theme you are using. [02:37] Checkde gnome-tweaks? [02:37] and changing with tweak tools doesn't change anything [02:38] Is it the same with all programs? [02:38] cam select right or left, doesn't matter [02:38] Might require you to log out and back in again. Not sure. [02:38] even reset with dconf reset / and rebooted - stays the same [02:39] No idea sorry,. Im not using the gnome DE myself. [02:39] and yes, all programs have split buttons [02:39] how can i know my server ip? [02:39] (like Libreoffice) [02:40] any command for it? [02:40] whatismyip.com or simular? [02:40] there should be some outside [02:40] i am cli [02:40] hmm.. [02:40] i am using ubuntu 19.10 with cli [02:40] on Virtualbox [02:40] rockwood94: nmcli device show [02:42] try dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com. [02:42] ipaddr will give you the IP address the server thinks it has [02:42] also ifconfig [02:42] epic_null:does even ifconfig exist anymore? [02:42] but you may want to consult virtualbox for the IP address that you can actually reach it on [02:42] yes, but optional install [02:42] no ifconfig? strange... [02:43] ipaddr may still work [02:43] nettools or similar [02:43] I dont have either on my install. [02:43] nmcli provides the same info though. [02:44] apt-get install net-tools will give you ifconfig [02:45] but use ip instead [02:45] liek ip addr show [02:46] Zeitkind: i personally find nmcli device show easier to read. [02:46] ip output is similar to ifconfig - which I'm used to for ages.. ^^ [02:47] beauty of open soarse, 10 programs do the same thing :) [02:48] I still use ifconfig if I look for packet losses and such though [02:48] ifconfig isn't installed in [02:48] apt-get install net-tools [02:48] which is better? [02:48] rockwood94: or use: ip addr show [02:49] ifconfig can't do everything that ip can do [02:49] but I haven't yet found as convenient a way to report dropped packets etc as ifconfig :( [02:49] (if anyone knows wqhat I'm overlooking that'd be nice to hear what it is :) [02:49] well, ifconfig gives a nice overview about RX/TX errors [02:50] not sure what's the ip command for this is [02:51] how to log use pastebin for show out of command? [02:51] ? [02:51] netcat it to termbin? [02:52] means [command + upload] [02:52] i forget that command [02:53] pastebinit [02:54] rockwood94: https://termbin.com/ you could use this. or just manually select copy and paste into your prefered online paste website.

[04:15] tsarompy: that's not packaged for ubuntu any more; why do you need it? is no newer version of whataever you're installing not available?

[04:18] i was tempted to just grab the deb from debian sid but i will take a look at that [04:19] i do see a newer version of libpng-dev but the source specifically wants libpng12 to compile soooOOoOoOo [04:19] again, thanks. this has been bothering me for days [04:19] <3 [04:25] how to uninstall apache with all setting? from ubuntu 19.10 [04:26] you want to uninstall apache and remove the settings?

If I zoom in once, it looks find but another zoom in it will look bad. [04:48] Screenshot look ok to me. :/ [04:48] is it just in your browser? [04:48] why not change the default monospaced font [04:48] ubuntu mono looks nice :P [04:49] i think monaco is just ugly period [04:49] lalitmee: what browser are you using? [04:50] tsarompy: actually yeah you can say it is in the browser. I have tried using chrome, chromium [04:50] tsarompy: I am also facing this issue in the application which are build using electron. Like Slack [04:50] have you edited $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to set smoothing or what [04:51] tsarompy: actually no. I don't know what to do for that smoothing [04:51] If you can guide me [04:51] ill PM you so we dont fill up the chat okay? [04:51] otherwise I have tried every possible solution on the internet [04:51] yeah [04:52] okay i sent you part of my .Xresources file [04:52] that oughta fix it, if not we can try something else [04:55] lalitmee: heres my .Xresources file if it will help you [04:55] https://pastebin.com/LugM9TDR [04:57] lalitmee: im a kubuntu user personally but in your appearance settings in gnome it should say something about font smoothing/hinting [04:58] if youre not sure of the differences, this image may help [04:58] https://winterdom.com/weblog/content/binary/WindowsLiveWriter/ImprovingFontRenderinginUbuntu_136D4/linux-gnome-settings_3.png [05:00] also lalitmee, this reddit thread may be of some help to you -> https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/8gqrjn/ubuntu_1804_font_rendering_how_to_make_fonts_look/ [05:15] tsarompy: Its not fixed still. It is the same as it was [05:23] damn [05:23] okay [05:23] lalitmee: have you checked your font settings in your gnome appearance settings? [05:23] also, did you run 'xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources' after adding those changes to your .Xresources file? [05:27] tsarompy: oh no.. I didn't run that [05:27] I will run now [05:28] How to set python3.8 as default instead of 2.7 ? (apart from the alias option) [05:28] I have check my font settings. its default whatever it comes with. I didn't change it. [05:33] tsarompy: Hey I tried that reddit solution too and I run that command too. I have logged out and logged in. I think I will reboot once more. [05:34] it wont make a difference lalitmee [05:35] lalitmee: try installing lxappearance and specifying the font smoothing/hinting that you'd like [05:35] tsarompy: I thought it will because in that solution it is written that restart x-server of reboot. I didn't do either one of theme [05:41] im sorry if you guys keep getting messages that say i keep joining abd leaving. its this Polari IRC im using. i have it set to log me in automatically when i open Polari, and every time that my screen turn off it seems to for some reason think that im closing the program. even though i have it set to run in the background. again, my apologies [05:44] dps: your computer probably sleeps and thus turns off the network card.
