[00:21] zorcon: I had the issue recently on a 144hz monitor - I don't think I ever found a good way. [00:22] It looks like Gnome has issues with 144hz - mouse looks fine too. That was on 19.04. [00:32] Hello. I am trying to figure out why lines in my crontab do not seem to work. Here is an example in my user's crontab: * * * * * /usr/bin/notify-send -t 10000 "This is a test." [00:32] It doesn't appear to do anything. [00:35] LaurentDumont: Okay darn. Yeah I tried different GPU drivers, no luck. Also it seems like certain windows can be laggier than others. Unfortunate, bc there's no reason my hardware shouldn't be able to handle it [00:57] The wonderful upgrade problems, complete fail all around.. [00:57] Fresh install doesn't work either, I set to autologin .. it get login screen .. login: well just back to login screen [00:59] open a console and update even though it should have installed updates during install ... now the real fun begins, it's spamming dmesg errors actively across the second terminal, it has some strange errors in the terminal rendering which i'm not even sure how it managed that.. and the best part yet: my logged in users X session randomly decides to display over the active terminal [00:59] _how_ ? [01:00] I'm at a complete loss here, can't use any part of it ... maybe kill lightdm or gdm or whatever it decided to use for this version while i cant see what i'm doing? [01:00] than ctrl+f1 back and hope it went to the desktop and then replace ldm etc? [01:00] ffs [01:07] hi all! i'm trying to install my lamp stack on 19.10 desktop and i'm running into a few issues [01:08] first of all, i'm experimenting with the moinmoin wiki. i seem to have followed all the steps in the guide, but localhost/mywiki seems to be outputting python code..... [01:09] I'm not sure this is really the right place for that, unless you're somehow certain the packages are broken and it's not a configuration error [01:10] does the base webserver work if you're not trying to run moinmoin ? [01:11] this channel doesn't support the "ubuntu server guide"? [01:12] Ah yes i'm sure it does, don't mind me.. thought you meant it was steps on moinmoins guide [01:13] :) [01:13] mike802: can you link to the guide you used? [01:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/moinmoin.html [01:15] do you have mod_cgi enabled? [01:16] apt install mod_cgi? [01:16] it should be in the core apache2 package, but may not be enabled [01:17] does `apache2ctl -M` list it? [01:17] you can `a2enmod cgi` to enable it if not, then restart apache [01:17] hmm, so it says "unable to locate package mod_cig" [01:18] that sounds like you tried to apt install it? [01:18] yeah.... no luck.... [01:19] yes, it's part of the apache2 package as i said [01:19] ok.. [01:23] mike802: any luck? [01:24] i was able to enable module cgi, then retarted, but no luck locating mod_cgi [01:24] if you enabled the cgi module, that's mod_cgi :) [01:26] amazing! thank you! [01:27] ok, so i'm also having an issue with phpmyadmin. it says, "package 'phpmyadmin' has no installation candidate [01:30] what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:30] not sure about the ubuntu side, but in debian at least, phpmyadmin isn't available in buster [01:30] ,v phpmyadmin [01:30] 19.10 desktop [01:30] aww, no bot here :( [01:30] it worked just find with 18.x server [01:30] !info phpmyadmin [01:31] Package phpmyadmin does not exist in eoan [01:31] ah, thanks! [01:31] yeah, i tried looking up the package location, but no luck! [01:31] i think... [01:31] yeah, the package is gone as of 19.10 [01:32] alright, i'll see if i can do all the stuff i need by hand! thanks anyway! [01:33] looks like there's a ppa, though that does include the note "Do not use these packages on production! Wait until they are released through the official ubuntu-channels" [01:33] Hello! I'm interested in using ssmtp to set up a script to pipe the results of ifconfig to my gmail account. Question, would I need to set up an SMTP server on my localhost, or can I just configure mail or ssmtp to shoot it off without one? [01:35] sentin3l: I haven't used ssmtp but assuming it's more or less like msmtp, you should be able to use it and certainly don't have to configure a full mail server. [01:35] sentin3l: You can point it at google's smtp servers and just send it to yourself using your gmail address [01:48] phew, so msmtp isn't letting me without setting up a .conf ... which, when I go to do, the system doesn't know where its at [02:21] hello, need some help with sending mail from command line to my gmail account :) [02:22] namely, the output from ifconfig === zbenjamin is now known as Guest39577 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:48] So... strange thing. Superscript 2 seems to get from my web app to the db and out to a yaml file, but subscript 2 does not. [02:49] My first guess is that MySQL isn't using a 4-byte character encoding, because I think I've heard that in the past. But that doesn't explain why the subscript 2 can be stored and displayed in the web app. [02:49] So any thoughts about why it isn't displaying correctly in the terminal? [03:20] hello mustmodify [03:20] Hi [03:20] what do you see in the terminal instead of the correct symbol? [03:21] a box. [03:22] there is 'showconsolefont' command in terminal, which may help with troubleshooting [03:22] interesting. "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console." [03:23] (I access this machine via SSH.) [03:23] Anyway, I'm going to see if the character's there and will be read on the other end. If not, then I'll dig further. [03:23] I mean, I'd rather see it. But if it works, that's not enough of a thing to be a blocker at this point. [03:24] what terminal is it? [03:24] and what font [03:25] well, I'm using putty and Courier New [03:25] that's a good thought... that font likely just doesn't have that character? [03:25] Though... [03:26] Seems like a popular enough one you'd want to include it. [03:44] try another font [03:44] Bitstream Unicode is good [03:48] will do [03:49] yes [04:30] Take care ya'll [06:12] @leden Just wanted to say thank you for your help the other day. Changing the location of mirror worked. Thank you! :D === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 === NickG365_ is now known as NickG365 [07:08] i want to use dead windows key for desired folder or application . [07:18] anyone know why the installer keeps freezing after 50%? [07:20] epitamizor: what version? what flavour? [07:20] 19.10 desktop version [07:21] it boots to the live cd and works fine but the install keeps stopping at 50% [07:21] I had no issues installing that over the weekend. lubuntu? xubuntu? 32 bit? 64 bit? [07:22] did you md5sum check the download to ensure that you have a good download? [07:22] i tried selecting the minimal radio button and even that doesn't finish installing [07:22] md5sum from the livecd? [07:23] no -- did you md5sum check the download that you used to created the livecd? [07:23] no [07:24] i heard that doesn't work because the blocks are not the same when it gets written to the media usb [07:24] so md5sum nameoffile.iso [07:24] the usb is bigger than the iso [07:24] correct [07:24] but you are checking the downloaded image [07:24] oh, the iso used to copy matches, but from the iso to the usb it changes [07:26] I'm not sure if my system is too new for the drivers or what,. I tried selecting proprietary drivers for install and same issue occurs [07:26] if you go here: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?country=RU&version=19.10&architecture=amd64 it gives information on you to verify the download [07:27] oh this is a sha356sum [07:27] sha256 [07:27] usually when you get errors like you describe, maybe something got scrambled in the download -- it happens [07:30] sha256 matches for iso [07:30] epitamizor, then choose option just without updates that will install system from livedvd [07:32] epitamizor: how did you make the dvd? [07:32] blue1, copied to usb [07:32] epitamizor: what programme did you use? [07:32] leden, that option didn't work either [07:33] dd, etcher, dd-rescue? [07:37] dd [07:38] what was the command line you used? [07:39] dd bs=4M ubuntu64.iso /dev/sdd1 [07:40] well I use something like: dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=4M [07:41] i have never written to the first partition, always the device name -- [07:41] that should work however [07:41] so doesn't it need format before dd copy? [07:42] I usually do that, yes. otherwise it could be undefined. that said, dd is an image copy, so it will overwrite anything that's there. [07:42] maybe there is still extra stuff on usb that is not being zero'd [07:42] perhaps -- couldn't hurt -- [07:44] you might consider brasso [07:46] brasero [07:46] i have had issues sometimes with dd not working correctly. [07:47] whats weird is the system can boot to the livecd and the applications and environment works fine,but the installer doesn't finish [07:47] there are directions here: https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/ search for: Making a microSDHC or USB -- that has always worked for me. [07:48] i have seen dd do some crazy stuff. [07:48] that uses dd-rescue [07:49] easiest, would be brasero, next dd-rescue, and lastly dd -- okay I am off to bed. almost 1 am here. === AC3J_ is now known as AC3J [07:50] nytol -- sorry I couldn't be of further assistance [08:08] hello, I have headless ubuntu and I'm running it on a work PC that requires all connections to go through proxy, on Windows the proxy works by specifying url to pac (proxy auto configuration) file, without any credentials. The file basically has 2 if rules (each ends with `return ("...")`) and a global return: `return ("PROXY proxy.mycompany.internaldomain:8080");`, how to teach apt to use that proxy? [08:11] pomeha: man apt.conf has some proxy info [08:15] fructose: only ftp_proxy is described, is that what apt actually uses? I thought it used http [08:16] pomeha: that's described in a separate manpage: apt-transport-http(1) [08:16] (proxy settings are there) [08:26] rbasak: thanks [08:27] so it doesn't seem to work with pac [08:30] pomeha: no but it looks like you should be able to write an equivalent configuration [08:30] THe problem with pac is that it requires a javascript interpreter [08:30] Not something that you want apt to be dependent on :) [08:31] rbasak: however https://askubuntu.com/questions/349702/ [08:31] err [08:31] Not sure why that might be [08:32] apt works well with regular HTTP proxy servers [08:32] I use that function all the time [08:32] rbasak: I meant that `man apt-transport-http` has a section OPTIONS > Automatic Proxy Configuration [08:32] Oh [08:32] Yes but that's not pac [08:32] it's apt's own language AFAICT? [08:33] oh [08:33] alright then [08:33] problem is that our proxy is not regular, it is also ns proxy [08:34] You mean DNS [08:34] yeah [08:34] I mean dns proxy or something [08:34] not sure [08:34] If using an HTTP proxy, apt won't need DNS directly I don't think [08:35] thing is some domains don't get resolved to IP when I ping them, yet when I open that very same host via http - the proxy works out and the connection works! [08:35] hell, I don't even know how to debug such networking connections :/ [08:35] wireshark only shows traffic to the proxy [08:35] and its unreadable :/ [08:37] pomeha: do you have something specific that isn't working here? [08:38] I've tried to specify `Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy.mycompany.internaldomain:8080";`, but `sudo apt update` shows errors like: `Err:3 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security Release Could not handshake: An unexpected TLS packet was received. [IP: 10.45.2.200 8080]` [08:41] and `E: The respository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security Release' no longer has a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefor disabled by default.` [08:45] what is mean by pseudo terminal allocation in SSH? What does "-t" option mean in SSH? [08:47] geekPanther: it is explained in the manpage. [08:54] flog, I have read that but I cant understand what pseudo terminal mean? [08:55] What does it mean? [08:59] a device that acts like a terminal === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner [09:00] commands often behave differently when they detect that stdout is a terminal [09:00] so it creates such a device on the remote end, and forwards everything written to it to the terminal on your local end === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner [09:11] I just did done installing ubuntu, but things don't look crystal clear [09:11] what t odo [09:15] drogas: could be the display resolution does not match the resolution of your physical display [09:15] drogas: Or what do you mean by "things don't look crystal clear"? [09:16] Anyone have a Dell Precision 7540 with Ubuntu? [09:16] drogas: are you chatting from the computer right now? [09:18] yes I am tatertots it just looks a bit blurry coming from windows. things on firefox looked sharp [09:18] I have the resolution set to the maximum [09:20] it almost feels like I am on remote connection. Do you get what I mean? [09:23] geekPanther: if you are running a command on a remote machine which requires a terminal, like "less" or "tmux", or something which pops up a menu in the terminal, that command will fail if you try to run it directly over ssh [09:23] geekPanther: "ssh remote_machine screen -dr" will fail without "ssh -t" option [09:24] geekPanther: if you "ssh remote_machine" to get a shell, then you can run these commands in that shell. but the -t option to ssh is required to make it work in one step. [09:25] it might be because the drivers are not installed [09:26] drogas: you might check and make sure [09:26] it says NVA0 on the "about " in settings [09:27] and lspci lists only intel it seems [09:27] I have a nvidia quadro graphics card [09:27] I am guessing these are not used on linux [09:28] drogas: in terminal> inxi -Fxxprzc0|nc termbin.com 9999 [09:28] drogas: if you don't have it, it'll tell you how to get it...then run the command above and share the url/link here [09:33] running that command returns no url [09:37] drogas: in terminal> inxi -Fxxprzc0|nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [09:37] drogas: try that [09:38] Hi! I'm on ubuntu 18.04.3. Every other dns request is failing and when it fails the failure is cached. I know the dns on my router works flawlessly. Any ideas what it could be? [09:58] not sure what is going gonna put this on hold for now [09:58] on another note [09:59] my conda base gets activated for any new terminal I open [09:59] bashrc does not contain any conda activate command [10:14] how can it be, that nslookup succeeds, but ping says "Name or service not known"? [10:15] ping uses nsswitch. nslookup does not. [10:15] Try "getent hosts " for a closer emulation to what ping is doing [10:16] And check /etc/hosts, nsswitch.conf, etc [10:16] rbasak: interesting. thank you. [10:17] my nsswithc.conf has this line: hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [10:20] rbasak: mmh.. getent hosts succeeds, while ping still fails [10:20] (to resolve) [10:34] Anybody still using Ubuntu 14.04? Do you mind testing, if this works there? : "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jarnos/ppa-purge && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ppa-purge" [10:50] jarnos, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is EOL & thus off-topic here. Ubuntu 14.04 ESM is supported by Canonical through Ubuntu Advantage, but still off-topic here. [11:00] it seems the latest ubuntu package for firefox-trunk is broken. can't seem to click anything in the window [11:01] obiwland: that might be an IPv6 issue then? Try ping -4 [11:01] Oh, no, sorry. Resolve. Not ping. [11:03] rbasak: the problem is gone since i disabled systemd-resolved. I now use unbound. [11:03] rbasak: but thank you anyway [11:03] rbasak: will try it, should the problem reoccur [11:04] This is how i did it: https://askubuntu.com/questions/907246/how-to-disable-systemd-resolved-in-ubuntu [11:04] obiwland: note: that's not a supported configuration [11:04] obiwland: i don't care. it works and i understand it better than the systemd mess [11:05] obiwland: see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1745463/comments/2 [11:05] Launchpad bug 1745463 in systemd (Ubuntu) "Disabling systemd-resolved breaks dhclient resolvconf integration" [Undecided,New] [11:06] Sure, that's your choice [11:06] obiwland: thanks for mentioning it [11:06] I'm just pointing out that it's not recommended in case others thing it's a good idea [11:06] I think it's more likely that you're masking an underlying networking issue, FWIW [11:06] rbasak: that might very well be case [11:07] rbasak: and i'd like to solve it eventually, but for now i've got some work to do ;) [11:07] it's a typical monday here xD [11:08] :) === parys15 is now known as parys [11:22] hello, I have an issue with OpenVPN: i managed to configure it well enough so when I connect to it I can actually connect to the machine hosting the vpn server.

[12:04] And my package of interest is: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libaom-dev&searchon=names `libaoim dev` I have Bionic version of ubuntu and according to this link this package should be in the `disco` package... but when I do `apt install disco` I get Unable to locate package disco [12:04] `libaom-dev` [12:05] Any ideas how can I install this package for Bionic version? [12:07] I am having login issues, takes 4 minutes to authenticate on login and sudo. Ideas? [12:08] frojnd, the command is sudo do-release-upgrade, but upgrade your existing packages first [12:08] I noticed pam_fingerprint-gui lines in my journalctl output [12:10] also noticed many kernel: usb 1-4.1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 errors, but only usb device connected is my wireless mouse dongle [12:15] BluesKaj: # do-release-upgrade bash: do-release-upgrade: command not found [12:16] frojnd: are you sure you're running ubuntu? [12:17] Ben64: yes.. in docker why? [12:17] fritzroy15: What routes do you push from the server? [12:17] frojnd: ah, that's probably why [12:18] fritzroy15: Do you have e.g. push "route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" or similar?

[12:19] frojnd, I thought you were trying upgrade to Bionic release [12:19] BluesKaj: no... release is fine I'm on Bionic ...at least seen from logs... [12:20] I just need `libaom-dev` package [12:20] My question is how can I install `libaom-dev` package on current setup - Bionic [12:20] package doesn't exist in bionic [12:21] frojnd: no, your question is, how do you install libaom-dev in a docker container. [12:21] frojnd: docker containers are not full OS's [12:22] Pricey: it should go through "172.31.0.0/20 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.31.9.74" on the VPN machine; but for some reason it doesn't [12:22] frojnd, sudo apt install libaom-dev in the terminal [12:24] oh, doesn't exist in Bionic, my mistake [12:24] BluesKaj: that package does not exist in bionic [12:24] Does it exist in newer versions? [12:24] frojnd, maybe there's a ppa for libaom-dev [12:25] frojnd: why do you think you need it exactly? [12:25] leftyfb: for video encoding dependency for some other project... [12:25] frojnd, I'm tesw\ting Focal 20.04 and it's in the repos [12:25] frojnd: what other project? [12:25] testing' [12:25] leftyfb: cobalt [12:25] frojnd: does it tell you a specific library file it needs that is missing? [12:26] Not sure... am setting up env first [12:26] frojnd: it sounds like you should be doing this in a full OS (VM/lxd container). Not docker [12:27] leftyfb: I don't think so... I Need more ppl fiddling with cobalt... [12:27] more man power to say at least [12:27] docker would be perfect fit once setup [12:28] frojnd: maybe contact cobalt for support? [12:28] I've contact ubuntu if there is a way to install that package in Bionic :) will check ppa first. Thanks [12:31] okay I think I see the problem [12:31] the issue is not my screen [12:31] but I think how the fonts are rendered [12:31] hence why it looks blurry [12:31] drogas: can you screenshot that please [12:34] lotuspsychje https://imgur.com/a/4UBYcDI [12:34] not sure if you can see it from screenshots [12:35] but there's definitely a blur around the fonts, and they look low-res.

[13:52] dostoyevsky: we dont support compiling and neither external ppa's [13:53] Maybe I just need to change the order inthe dockerfile and install texlive before adding other repositories.. [13:53] dostoyevsky: very likely [13:56] https://www.amazon.com/Touchscreen-Ultrabook-Screenpad-i9-8950HK-Professional/dp/B07V827G5B/ref=pd_sbs_147_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07V827G5B&pd_rd_r=aa6b1f0e-452f-4ef8-a910-055198cdf772&pd_rd_w=oREWw&pd_rd_wg=1GlUf&pf_rd_p=5873ae95-9063-4a23-9b7e-eafa738c2269&pf_rd_r=Q0C97VE6KHP8CX1TGN1X&psc=1&refRID=Q0C97VE6KHP8CX1TGN1X [13:56] https://www.amazon.com/Touchscreen-Ultrabook-Screenpad-i9-8950HK-Professional/dp/B07V827G5B/ref=pd_sbs_147_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07V827G5B&pd_rd_r=aa6b1f0e-452f-4ef8-a910-055198cdf772&pd_rd_w=oREWw&pd_rd_wg=1GlUf&pf_rd_p=5873ae95-9063-4a23-9b7e-eafa738c2269&pf_rd_r=Q0C97VE6KHP8CX1TGN1X&psc=1&refRID=Q0C97VE6KHP8CX1TGN1X [13:56] has anyone already experimented to use linux on this kind of laptop ? [13:57] or this one ? https://www.amazon.fr/Gigabyte-Aero-15-OLED-Sa-7FR5130SH/dp/B07W84XX9Z/ref=pd_sbs_147_6/258-8182924-2689729?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07W84XX9Z&pd_rd_r=c77a85c9-b2a1-433a-b123-0f0bbd0e4531&pd_rd_w=YoUcF&pd_rd_wg=qA046&pf_rd_p=a9f5d7c2-08ef-42e9-9709-9c2a12683b28&pf_rd_r=WXGG8WVTFH3VXFHMW0ZM&psc=1&refRID=WXGG8WVTFH3VXFHMW0ZM [13:57] hi there! i am trying to boot up a old laptop with a ubuntu 16.04.6 i386 live usb-stick [13:57] jeromelanteri: Please stop that [13:57] jeromelanteri: ubuntu installs on alot of several brands, i dont think asus would be a problem [13:57] it runs right into a kernel panic [13:57] lotuspsychje, screnpad recognized also ? [13:58] is there a way to scroll up so i could see the cause for the panic? [13:59] jeromelanteri: i didnt test that myself yet [13:59] any link about screenpad driver for Asus ? [14:00] well jeromelanteri , there are people talking about that ASUS in general on ask Ubuntu and reddit. You'll do better to get info from somewhere like that versus this support channel, until you at least have the device... run into an issue and are in need of support [14:00] jeromelanteri: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1846090 [14:00] Launchpad bug 1846090 in linux (Ubuntu) "Asus UX580GD (GDX1505:00 27C6:01F1) Touchpad Screenpad support" [Undecided,Confirmed] [14:01] !info bluez-tools | nklap95: Have you installed [14:01] nklap95: Have you installed: Package bluez-tools does not exist in eoan [14:01] jeromelanteri: ideally you would find a store that lets you test an ubuntu liveusb on it to test things [14:01] so... no screenpad usable... no luck. [14:02] i read on redit something around that, but it is "old" (last year). === Trieste_ is now known as Trieste [14:02] is there a certain release one can recommend for a old machine "core2duo" old [14:02] friendlyguy: lubuntu/xubuntu and !flavours [14:03] well... and for gigabyte aero ? someone use it there ? [14:03] and there is no way to scroll up to see a reason for a kernal panic? [14:03] (i scare about wifi compatibility also...) I read problem on AX-xxx wifi drivers. [14:03] jeromelanteri: Typically bleeding edge devices and technology take time for Linux to catch up to enable such features by default. It depends on the communities interest. In this case it doesn't matter the brand, the underlaying support will be the same [14:03] yes, sure. [14:04] jeromelanteri: Ubuntu specifically works for stability. Meaning it will take time before such support for "screenpad" devices is likely to show up. [14:05] it seems to be the same for wifi. [14:05] jeromelanteri: that wifi AX bug has a fix [14:05] ho good... [14:06] ok, thank you for share your device driver's knowledges. Have a good day/night. [14:18] got an odd issue here. I have php-curl installed and enabled. But when I do a php -i from the CLI, php doesn't think it is loaded. [14:18] This is 16.04 [14:19] pragmaticenigma: I installed it but I still can't see the org.bluez.mesh interface. Maybe there is something messed up with my configuration? [14:20] nklap95: I'm unsure, I did a quick google search and thought tool kit might help [14:21] Nevermind.. PHPBrew issue. [14:22] nklap95: I can't find any documentation related to bluetook mesh networking and ubuntu. not sure if it has been added or is supported by the bluetooth stack [14:26] nklap95: The closest that thing I can find to BT mesh, is possibly to look into zephyr for it's support and implementation of BT mesh [14:31] texlive-full installed now... without the PPAs... PPAs are scary... [14:32] pragmaticenigma: I'll try and build it from source with custom configuration [14:33] nklap95: The recommenadtion of zephyr came from an support article noting that zephyr has a full stack support, while most the other libraries are for clients only [14:33] lubuntu kernel panics as well [14:34] i cant see whats causing the kernel panic [14:34] any ideas? [14:34] friendlyguy: F1 to switch to textboot [14:34] pragmaticenigma: Thank you for your help, I'll take a look [14:34] friendlyguy: then write down the kernel panic, or take a pic [14:34] its booting with text, but the stack trace moves the source outside of the window [14:35] erm, screen [14:37] nklap95: I had closed the browser window to soon... here is the source of said srticle: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54872897 [14:47] hi [14:47] welcome kek_ [14:51] enow trying bodhi linux [14:52] so I just had a server that crashed (it likes to crash randomly). When I told my friend who is physically present to check the screen it just showed a "terminal cursor". Couldn't write anything. Anyone has an idea how the server got in that state? [14:52] just wanna boot up "some" linux and transfer a bunch of files before i burn that machine [14:52] ide 2.5"... [14:54] crap... this one creates a kernel panic as well [14:54] the kernel output is just SO fast its impossible to read it [14:55] Hello. I'm trying to figure out why my cron jobs do not appear to do anything. As a test I have " * * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/notify-send -t 10000 "This is a test." " in my user's crontab, and I see that it is running in /var/log/syslog but nothing shows up. [14:56] ctrl+s to pause the output, ctrl+q to resume [14:56] its below 2 seconds [14:57] ill try with 960 fps per second recording speed [14:57] mindofmateo: probably not enough to guess the right DISPLAY variable. You probably need to set some DBUS variable as well [14:57] maybe this will work [14:57] mindofmateo: better to run it from inside the session instead of from cron [14:58] I do not know what that means. [14:58] mindofmateo: run it from an autostart application (xdg-autostart), so it gets run when you log in to your session, with all the necessary environment variables set [14:59] I am just using notify-send as a test to see what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to run a script in /home/myuser/scripts/scriptname.sh [15:00] same, run it as an autostart application [15:02] mindofmateo: setting DISPLAY is not enough, you also need XAUTHORITY and possibly DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS [15:04] mindofmateo: try to put the output somewhere to see whats going on, DISPLAY=:0 notify-send 2> /tmp/log [15:04] i recall it being enough to just put DISPLAY [15:04] in unity [15:04] notify-send just silently fails though. You can "emulate" the cron-behavior with env -i "DISPLAY=$DISPLAY" notify-send "this is a test" [15:05] env -i is a very good way of testing [15:05]
