IndianSlimThanks but I'm not interested in having ops00:00
IndianSlimHello jacober!00:00
jacoberhello00:00
IndianSlimHow are you today?00:00
IndianSlimHow can we help??00:00
pfirsichI will try just installing windows and see what happens. thanks a lot jeremy31 , bprompt and d0tsun7 !00:00
jacoberwell, you?00:00
IndianSlimFantastic! 19.10 dropped so good times!!00:01
bpromptpfirsich:  right, that doesn't mean Windows was busted, it could just have been that the UUID had changed and Grub wasn't updated00:01
elIndianSlim: please stop.00:01
IndianSlimHello xamithan!00:01
d0tsun7pfirsich did you install ubuntu and then install windows? for me, i've installed windows and then ubuntu and it's worked good. maybe the other way around would cause issues.00:01
IndianSlimel please don't highlight me00:01
pfirsichinitially I did install ubuntu after windows. Now I will do it the other way around. But if that doesn't work I can (or have to) install ubuntu again, so it might work then00:02
IndianSlimpfirsich you know where to find us no worries! Best of luck!00:02
elIndianSlim: please don't be insulting to users here or you'll be removed.00:02
leftyfbpfirsich: installing Windows after Ubuntu will prevent Ubuntu from booting. Windows will not add an entry for Ubuntu to boot.00:02
bpromptpfirsich:  sounds to me you'll be installing both either way =)00:03
jacoberpfirsich windows wont install with another os on the UUID00:03
IndianSlimel No one has insulted anyone, please mind your own business and stop highlighting me please00:03
d0tsun7for the love of god IndianSlim just shutup00:03
IndianSlimd0tsun7 no need to be rude00:03
IndianSlimHello fuze!00:03
pfirsichthanks again! see you00:03
d0tsun7thank you el00:03
d0tsun7pfirsich: defiinitely fresh installs cure all. if you do a fresh install of windows and then install ubuntu right after, i think that order will work best00:04
rzuloi'm installing ubuntu server 18.04, and the default network setup didn't work.  does anyone know where i should get started with troubleshooting?00:05
d0tsun7pfirsich: bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi00:05
leftyfbrzulo: I've had issues with the live installer of 18.04 server and the networking. You should try the alternate installer instead if you don't mine reinstalling00:05
d0tsun7pfirsich: install windows 10 first. then install ubuntu. likely ubuntu will not be seen by the windows grub. launch into windows and open RUN and type bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi which will let the linux grub take over and allow you to boot into windows or ubuntu from there00:06
d0tsun7i've turned my join/quit messages off, hopefully he saw that.00:06
ryuod0tsun7: nope. they already bailed.00:07
jeremy31d0tsun7: they are gone00:07
d0tsun7dang....he really needed to see that last message. i was just searching for that RUN command the whole time00:07
d0tsun7oh well... he may be back00:07
jeremy31d0tsun7: if they read the links I posted, they have that info00:08
d0tsun7jeremy31: ok cool00:08
k0d3g3arupgraded my 16.04 to 18.04 and Network Manager OpenVPN fails.  Any attempt to connect to any VPN profile that is there does nothing.  No indication, no logs, etc.  Any suggestions?00:21
ZaliekWhen I did the upgrade I had to delete all of my profiles and set them up again00:24
k0d3g3arZaliek: yeh, I ended up deleting them and recreated because the TLS security thing required new certs from my server, so it was easier to do this by recreaction.  Funny thing is my laptop upgraded and worked perfectly.  Just not my desktop rig00:25
k0d3g3arBut also just no activity in the indicator icon at all.  Used to get something while it tried to connect, and then an indication when it did connect.  Now it is just dead - nothing going on up there at all00:25
ZaliekYep, experienced that too00:26
k0d3g3arnothing in journalctl or syslog either00:26
ZaliekLater versions of ubuntu desktop fixed the indicator issues00:26
k0d3g3arwhat version are you running now?00:27
Zaliek19.1000:27
k0d3g3ark  I'm tempted to take it to the next level then00:27
ZaliekI only run LTS releases on servers, desktop just changes too fast00:27
ZaliekAnd really the upgrades are usually pain free00:27
k0d3g3aryeh, I was going to wait until 20.04 LTS00:27
=== overfiend is now known as PoPpiLLs
ZaliekHowever the change from Unity to Gnome was surprisingly well done but there was a lot of gore00:28
k0d3g3arI'm running MATE   Do you think I'll hit the same issues00:28
ZaliekCan't say. But any official flavor will attempt to make version upgrades as pain free as possible00:29
ZaliekYou should always take a system image upgrading though00:29
k0d3g3ark, thanks for the info.  Helps me feel like I'm not losing my mind00:29
Zaliek*before upgrading00:29
k0d3g3arwell I'm tempted to throw caution to the wind.  My other option was a fresh install, and spend the week trying to put it all back on there again00:30
ZaliekBut yeah unless you're running desktop in a corporate environment or something embedded that isn't at all failure tolerant00:30
d0tsun7i def always dd my disk before upgrades00:31
d0tsun7helped me a lot00:31
ZaliekThen using LTS releases usually does a disservice to the desktop experience00:31
d0tsun7clonezilla is a decent tool00:31
k0d3g3arnah, just my home computer workstation.  I develop on it though, so it all all that stuff that is a pain to reinstall00:31
ZaliekBecause you're stuck with the same bugs for a long time00:31
ZaliekAnd a lot of new features you won't get00:31
k0d3g3ard0tsun7: I have a RAID 1 LVM here.  will that work?00:32
ZaliekIMO the ubuntu live cd/usb and using the disks program to image drives works well00:32
d0tsun7k0d3g3ar: i believe an LVM2 snapshot would definitely work as long as your snapshot partition doesn't fill up.00:33
k0d3g3ark thanks00:33
d0tsun7k0d3g3ar: i use LVM all the time, works wonders. i for some reason feel a little safer DDing an image to an external drive, but don't see any reason why LVM2 wouldn't work. LVM2 has definitely gotten me out of some sticky situations00:34
k0d3g3argot it.  thanks00:35
Zaliekk0d3g3ar, for illustrative purposes: I've been upgrading my laptop since 14.04. And I do dev work, VMs, all that jazz00:35
ZaliekI never experienced more than minor glitches from upgrading00:36
k0d3g3arZaliek: this is my first "upgrade".  I've always done fresh installs and gone through the upgrade week of hell each time.  Thought it as my right of passage or something.  Been doing that since 800:36
d0tsun7zaliek: i was not familiar that the ubuntu disk had that option. that's pretty cool.00:36
Zaliekd0tsun7, I really like using that because it's easy to mount those images and explore the files contained in the image00:37
ZaliekClonezilla makes images that I could never figure out how to access besides restoring to a drive00:38
d0tsun7zaliek: will it accept reads on any image or only images produced by that ubuntu disk program? -- that is pretty cool00:38
k0d3g3aris what you are referring to the "Create Disk Image" option in the "Disks" app in the menu?00:38
d0tsun7zaliek: true. clonezilla saves it in an odd way for sure00:38
leftyfbZaliek: it's a raw image. Using something like losetup to detect and setup loop devices for you to mount the separate partitions00:38
ZaliekYeah that's the option00:38
ZaliekIt pretty much works exactly the same as if you inserted a physical drive00:39
ZaliekUse the OS tools to decrypt and mount partitions, etc00:39
d0tsun7so if im in "Disks" where would isee that tool00:40
d0tsun7ah i see it.00:40
d0tsun7well that's nifty. learn something new every day.00:41
ZaliekYeah depends on the version of gnome you're running00:41
ZaliekThey like to change the UI00:41
d0tsun7so if you wanted to browse that image, which option would you select to view those files00:42
ZaliekAttach Disk Image00:43
d0tsun7within the Disks 3 dotted icon to reveal the menu00:43
d0tsun7ahh, nice.00:43
d0tsun7interesting no permissions conflict doing it that way.00:43
d0tsun7pretty cool.00:44
d0tsun7i always thought the file system being in use would stop a proper image being taken like that00:44
ZeZuWhy do I get a 'starting a job for /dev/disk-by/UUID' or similar that takes a minute an a half every boot?   I did 'dd' a previous partition to a new drive,  but then expanded the file system (ext4) and it's a clean mount I can't find any reason for this.00:45
ZaliekOh, I dunno if I'd take an image while the system is running00:45
ZaliekI boot the installer in live mode and take an image there00:46
d0tsun7zaliek: roger that.00:47
k0d3g3ari don't think it lets you take an image of it while it is running.  I'm getting "Error unmounting /dev/md0p2:  target is busy"00:50
d0tsun7k0d3g3ar good call00:50
k0d3g3arI think I have to do this off a livecd00:51
d0tsun7hey anyone know about dash to panel gnome extention in 19.10? i seem to have lost my task bar integrated into my top bar when i upgraded from 18.1000:52
d0tsun7i remember having to fenagle with it when i upgraded from 16.04 to 17.04. seemed to work through 18.04, buut now back to not working with 19.1000:53
Zaliekgnome extensions are very fragile00:54
ZaliekI'd consider it a miracle if they're still functioning on a new version of gnome00:54
d0tsun7yeah for sure...seems to have trouble00:54

cluelessperson_d0tsun7, Zaliek   You can set the filesystem to read only and image it then.01:09
d0tsun7cluelessperson_ oh really01:10

fructoseleftyfb | d0tsun7: also, undo anything fructose told you. You should not need any special configs for CTRL+shift+C to work01:30

ZeZueh it's starting to look like time to switch to another distro01:34
oerheks1ZeZu, one could perform a filecheck/smart report01:36
ZeZualready all done01:37
ZeZualso checked journalctl01:37
ZeZubut that's not the only reason i'm considering switching after over a decade,  it's been one problem after another01:37
ZeZuanyhow, with that particular problem I think it was timing out so i changed the timeout for persistent journal to 10s and it still goes for 90sec ..01:39
Bashing-omZeZu: duplicated the UUIDs -such that now they are no longer unique ?01:40
ZeZuno, the other partition is not on a connected device01:41
ZeZuOfc I googled and found out this seems to have been a common problem, and was solved by some changes to init scripts .. however the changes are already in place it was an older problem. I haven't been able to pin a reason down at all01:42
oerheks1vague, "init scipts" ..01:43
ZeZuindeed but I don't currently recall which tbh01:43
ZeZuthere are quite a few after all01:43
ZeZuif you want more fun,   video is still tearing in browser and vlc .. sometimes other things flicker through vlc,  all instances of chrome turn completely black after resuming from sleep,  libstdc++ is still 'broken' (imo why would it need another library to link to w. -fs suffix, yet the non -fs one contains filesystem it just doesn't work) and yeah I could keep going on like the energizer bunny but it's pointless.  I seem to have01:46

* rocky is there any reason here as a regular user i shouldn't be able to use the smartctl tool to check out my nvme drive? can't seem to get it working...02:31
rockyhttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/DzRK1y06/02:31
altendkyrocky: is that a gen2?02:32
rockysudo works fine of course02:32

altendkyor just straight x1 extreme02:32
rockygen2 yeah02:33
rockytrying to monitor the temp of my nvme drives02:33
rockywithout sudo02:33
altendkyrocky: sorry to hijack, i don't know anything about those tools.  i'm forgetting if we had talked...  :|  i'm working on getting three things working at once on my p1 gen 2 (with oled).  resume, screen brightness, and hdmi.  (and i guess i'd like it to be kubuntu 19.10...)  i think i might be close to having resolutions for each but i'm curious, are they all working for you?02:35
leftyfbrocky: https://www.computing.zone/run-smartctl-without-password/02:36
leftyfbrocky: also, did you log out and back in after adding yourself to the disk group?02:37
akkI have a bug on launchpad and I've been asked to add an attachment. I click on "add attachment or patch", navigate to the file and click Open, add a comment for it and click "Post comment" ...02:38
rocky@leftyfb yeah,otherwise running "groups" didn't display the disk group that was in my paste... but i'll try the sudoers thing02:39
rockyaltendky: i haven't tried hdmi ... but resume (from suspend) and screen brightness work fine02:39
akk... and the "Add a comment or attachment" page reloads, with the filename gone, but if I go back to the bug page and reload, my attachment isn't there.02:39
leftyfbrocky: you'll still need to use sudo to run smartctl, it just won't ask for a password. But, if you're running this in any sort of automated way, you really should just be running it as root02:39
akkWhat am I doing wong, how can I attach files to a bug?02:39
altendkyrocky: what distro/release/kernel version, if you don't mind?  oled screen?02:39
rockyleftyfb: all i'm doing is trying to get the Freon gnome extension to display my nvme drive temps in the task bar02:40
rockyand i'm assuming it can't do sudo since it refreshes evrery 5 sec02:40
leftyfbrocky: use lmsensors?02:40
rockylmsensors doesn't do nvme02:40
rockyaltendky: ubuntu 19.10 with standard kernel02:41
rockyFreon has support for using nvme-cli and smarttools to monitor nvme temp apparently but it's not working for me :/02:41
altendkyrocky: alrighty, thanks.02:41
rockyaltendky: i should add that this was originally a 19.04 setup and i upgraded (without using the ubuntu live cd) to 19.1002:42
rockyaltendky: only thing not working for me (that i wish was working) is the fingerprint device02:43
altendkyrocky: best i know on that is that fprintd iirc is supposed to support it in v202:43
rockyyeah that's what i've seen as well02:43
rockyi have an external usb-based fingerprint device that i refuse to use lol02:43
altendkyrocky: though i didn't bother on my last laptop because only one auth mechanism (fingerprint or password) could be active at once.  so you had to fail the active one to use the other which just seemed silly.02:44
Bashing-omrocky: Add the nvme to /etc/hddtemp.db ? I had to for my SSD device: https://askubuntu.com/questions/474669/ssd-temperature-sensor-readout-with-hddtemp .02:44
rockyoh, i've never really used the fingerprint stuff in linux anyhow so i didnt know what to expect02:44
rockyBashing-om: hm, i have no /etc/hddtemp.db02:45
altendkyrocky: it may be different now.  that was a couple years ago maybe02:45
Bashing-omrocky: Got me - I donot recall if the installation of "lmsensors" creates the file. "sysop@x1804mini:~$ ls -al /etc/hddtemp.db02:47
Bashing-om>> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6811 Sep 21 18:48 /etc/hddtemp.db"02:47
rockywell i mean this just seems to be a very weird perms problem to me... you can see it not working for my regular user when it clearly should (and working fine with sudo) here:  https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/DzRK1y06/02:48
rockyobviously my current user, rocky, is in the disk group and the disk group has rw access to the device02:49
altendkyrocky: i'd expect it to go into /sys somewhere, not the device itself.  wouldn't that /dev/nvme1n1 be the actual on-disk data?02:50
rockyhm, you may have a valid point02:50
altendkyrocky: though i've got no *nvme* under there...  hmm02:50
altendkybah, on the first laptop i don't because, well, it doesn't have nvme.  plenty of hits on the laptop that does :]02:51
rockyyeah i installed a second nvme on this thinkpad so i have my 512gb for ubuntu and my 1tb for windows dual boot02:52
rockyalthough i run ubuntu about 95% and windows 5%02:52
rockyand i wasn't able to install a heat sink on my additional nvme drive which is why i'm trying to monitor temp lol02:53

fooDownloaded ubuntu desktop ISO. I'm on OS X. I think I have to install the ISO to a USB thumb drive, correct? I have an 8GB thumb drive right here04:27
Bashing-omfoo: "copy" the .ISO to the USB thumb drive ( Mac has 'dd',no?).04:29
fooBashing-om: yes, I believe it's just a dd command to do the "copy" (I don't believe you mean to actually cp file.iso /Volumes/thumb-drive04:29
gry8GB thumb drive is good04:30
fooperhaps the better question is, in os x, how do I dd the ubuntu desktop ISO to the 8GB thumb drive? (I think that's what needs to happen, anyway)04:31

altendkywhat's the upside of dd vs. cp for this?  i've just been doing cp kubuntu-... /dev/sdc04:41
foooh, I didn't think I could cp like that?04:41
fooI like that idea if that works04:41
fooaltendky: and you can boot from that?04:41
altendkyfoo: i didn't think so either but...  though i've been doing it in linux, not macos.  yes, done that several times recently working through some issues on my new laptop04:42
altendkybut like i asked, i don't know if there are reasons to use dd instead04:42
daxthere aren't04:44
leftyfbaltendky: cp isn't meant to do that. dd is also able to work with block devices in ways cp cannot. Like copying in different chunk sizes starting or ending at different by sectors04:45
oerheks1dd, sync04:45
leftyfbjust because something "works", doesn't mean it's the right tool for the job. I see no advantage of using cp over dd.04:45
altendkyleftyfb: other than intended usage of the commands, the difference in this case is that you might be able to get better performance if you pick the 'right' block size for dd?04:46
altendkyleftyfb: sure, i'm not arguing cp is better.04:46
daxthey do the same thing, and last time i benchmarked them cp wasn't any slower04:46
daxif you're used to one of them, just use that04:47
foohuh, good to know. thanks altendky for sharing that.04:49
fooMore for curiosity, I'll probably go with sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync04:49

tatertotsif you're trying to do something with USB WLAN adapters there's a lot of people here that get a kick out of stuff like that...maybe jeremy is around07:12
EdFletcherT137pi0: you could diff the output of `lsmod` from before & after plugging in the device, that might tell you something. also, `dmesg` and `syslog`07:13

LopeI've installed ubuntu via debootstrap, and then KDE plasma, so I've got a minimal system. I want to be able to print a document via a physical USB printer now08:34
LopeI've installed cups but I don't have a printer GUI and my printer doesn't show up when I try print a document08:34
rbasakSounds like you got yourself a _broken_ minimal system by using debootstrap instead of a supported installer.08:35
Lopepreviously when I had a full-fat Ubuntu install I used to be able to just plugin a USB printer, and there was a GTK/QT GUI in my program launcher that used to list all my printers08:35
rbasakSimplest solution: use a proper installer!08:35
Lopeand when I pressed print, it listed my printer, and I could print.08:35

nshannoying problem has manifested on a relatively fresh xubuntu 19 install where NetworkManager can't seem to store/access secrets for mobile broadband connection10:47
nsh(has no trouble with wifi secrets)10:47
nshanyone encountered this or have ideas on how to debug?10:47
nsh(gnome-keyring-daemon is running)10:48
nshi can enter the password in "edit connections" for the connection but it is lost immediately or not saved at all10:48
nsheven more annoyingly it's just "password" because 4g is derp10:49
nshso i can echo "password" | nmcli --ask con up <connection name>10:49
nshand it works fine, but obviously it'd be far preferable if nm-applet would do it properly10:49
Seveasnsh: is /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/$NAME_OF_CONNECTION writable?10:50
Seveasif it doesn't exist, make sure you've made the connection available to all users in the applet10:52

nshseems the integration with the secrets agent is broken somehow10:55
Seveasshould be good. Is the password in the file?10:55
nshno password field, just password-flags=110:56
Seveasyou could try manually adding it to the file and restarting. Don't know the name of the field though, it's been a while since I did 3g from the laptop :(10:57
Seveasah, the field name is password10:59
doublel93Seveas, do you know where I can find info/updates about it ? I can't install certbot :(10:59

Seveasso there's a setting you've ticked somewhere that makes it not store the password11:01

mousesChunkyz: add a -R if you want it to recursively set perms to any files/directories in that directory.14:55
mousesFar better to assign a group and use group access, however, setting full world read/write/exec like that can and often is a security hole14:56

lotuspsychjegrady: ubuntu version? computer specs?15:21
gradyVlc plays these same files in windows ok15:22

ioriagrady, easy to test; remove nvidia and try with nouveau15:23

ZeZuare you even using a hardware decoder?15:24

adrian_1908grady: run what was suggested and report back15:28
gradyVdpau? I use nvidias ubuntu team drivers15:28
SE7EN`grady: those specs should have no problem with decoding as long as you have the right modules and such15:28
altendkyif i'm building master-next, what config should i use to be as it will be released?  just remove the file and then `yes '' | make oldconfig`?15:29
SE7EN`grady: Also check VLC -> Tools -> Preferences -> Input & Codec Settings, maybe try a different setting than "automatic"15:29
gradyI already tested all of them, no change15:30
SE7EN`grady: join #vlc and post glxinfo as well as current version of nvidia drivers15:31
SE7EN`grady: #videolan sorry15:31
gradyBut i need them working on video editors.. it isnt just vlc problem15:31
gradyI also use low latency kernel image15:32
gradyNot help15:32
SE7EN`without posting any info regarding your current packages it would be hard to troubleshoot. Hardware decoding can get sticky especially if not using stable tested nvidia packages15:33
SE7EN`and/or multiple GPUs15:33
gradyHevc dosnt work on any debian or ubuntu based distros, with or without ubuntus own nvidia drivers15:35
SE7EN`my thought process of joining the #videolan channel is that they have guys who mess around with decoding on the regular.15:35
SE7EN`grady: just post results of the command `glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer*"`  without the ``s15:36
gradyI do after i get to my computer. Im now on my phone...15:37
SE7EN`grady: Okay. Feel free to drop me PM I'm at work but on bouncer.15:37
ZeZuI guess at least mine works,  no vsync and other items flickers through but i'm just used to it15:38
SE7EN`another thing to try would to ensure PowerMizer is set to Performance in nvidia-settings15:38
ZeZuor just use the software decoder15:39
SE7EN`that too.15:39
ZeZuit has better quality anyhow15:39
SE7EN`i7 shouldn't have problems15:39
SE7EN`but I could be wrong15:39
ZeZuno the decoder wouldn't have an issue with that cpu unless he's trying to decode 8k files w. a bunch of background processes15:40
SE7EN`Yeah which is totally possible knowing this channel. Might be worth getting sysbench results too just to see the health state15:42
ZeZuindeed never know,  video could be on an ancient half dead hdd over usb2 trying to decode 4k+15:44

croraf_Hi. I see here https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/kernel/linux-generic that 5.3.0-23 is latest, but my updater offers me 5.3.0-24. How come?19:17
EriC^!eoan19:18
ubottuUbuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) is the 31st release of Ubuntu, supported until July 2020. Release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseNotes19:18
EriC^!info linux-generic eoan19:18
ZeZuI about give up,  fix one problem at two more popup ...  I found out what was holding up my boot,  but it holding it up was the only thing making gdm3 work ... which was the reason i had to reinstall a second time.    It's supposed to auto login,  it doesn't, i get login screen.. whatever:  login.. only it doesn't go to the desktop it just goes right back to login screen19:18
ubottulinux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.0.24.28 (eoan), package size 1 kB, installed size 16 kB19:18
ZeZuwhatever... switch to lightdm in console, reboot .. lightdm works ... until pc goes to sleep then I have no mouse19:18
EriC^croraf_: 24 is the latest it seems19:18
ZeZuI swear every version gets worse :|19:19
croraf_I think 24 might be prerelease or something. Do you know where is that list that shows which kernel is prerelease?19:21
croraf_Because the link I gave you shows it at the version 5.3.0-2319:22
croraf_!info linux-hwe-edge bionic19:22
ubottuPackage linux-hwe-edge does not exist in bionic19:22
EriC^croraf_: i dont think so, the bot uses the standard repos, if you want do a apt-cache show or apt show linux-generic and see where the link is and whatnot19:23
leftyfbcroraf_: what is your issue exactly?19:23
croraf_I would like to know which is the latest stable kernel version for Eoan19:23

croraf_hmmmmm, it says 24 is latest here also :OOOOO19:25
leftyfbcroraf_: please stop. What version of ubuntu are you running?19:25
croraf_Eoan, but I've been suggested to switch to LTS19:25
leftyfbcroraf_: there is no LTS released after Eoan as of yet19:26
leftyfbcroraf_: what does this tell you? cat /etc/issue19:26
croraf_There is bionic19:26
croraf_which is latest LTS19:26
leftyfbcroraf_: what does this tell you? cat /etc/issue19:26
EriC^croraf_: it's normal that the hwe will have the eoan one19:26
croraf_19.1019:26
leftyfbcroraf_: ok, that is the latest Ubuntu release. There is no upgrading to anything else19:27
leftyfbcroraf_: ok, now pastebin the output of this: apt-cache policy linux-image-generic19:27
croraf_But I didnt know that both have v24. The guy was assuring me v23 is the latst one, and that I have the latest one19:27
croraf_And the package link i provided shows v2319:27
leftyfbcroraf_: pastebin the output of this: apt-cache policy linux-image-generic19:28
croraf_https://termbin.com/mjef19:29
leftyfbcroraf_: 24 is the latest but you do not yet have it installed19:29
croraf_leftleg_: Why on the ubuntu packages it doesnt show the 24 but 2319:30
ZeZulol19:31
=== SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk
croraf_OK, v23 is on [bionic] and v24 is on [bionic-updates]19:32
hggdhcroraf_: yes, because -24 is an update to the delivered kernel19:33
leftyfbcroraf_: bionic latest -edge kernel is 2419:33
leftyfbcroraf_: can I ask, why do you care about any of this? What is your exact issue?19:33
croraf_I want to have the latest stable kernel, and one guy was assuring me that if I have 23 it is the latest.19:34
croraf_Giving me the link to the packages19:34
leftyfbcorrection, bionic latest -edge kernel available from the proposed repo is 24. -updates still has 2319:34
leftyfbcroraf_: just run your normal updates(you haven't) and you will be kept up to date19:34
Volad_Malevichhelp, guys. My laptop onboard wifi time to time becomes gray/don't show any networks/has weak signal with router/drops connection with router. How to solve problem. I can even open any site in browser.19:35
croraf_leftyfb: What does it mean " bionic latest -edge kernel available from the proposed repo is 24. -updates still has 23"?19:36
leftyfbcroraf_: in your case, nothing since you are not running bionic.19:36
croraf_OK, I plan to switch to bionic, because it is LTS, are you ok now19:36
leftyfbcroraf_: there is no downgrade path to bionic. You will need to reinstall from scratch.19:37
croraf_So I want to know, if I reinstall to bionic will I have 24 as the stable latest or 23?19:37
leftyfbcroraf_: neither. You will have a 5.0 kernel19:38
leftyfbcroraf_: why do you care so much about what kernel you are running? Do you have some hardware issue?19:38
croraf_I do19:38
croraf_If I reinstall 18.04 and change to hwe-edge, which one will I have?19:39
leftyfbcroraf_: ok, what hardware issue? Why do you think changing your kernel will help? Please detail your issues here.19:39
croraf_I've bought the latest HP Omen on the market.19:39
croraf_I had big troubles installing Ubuntu. iretia here helped me for 1 day.19:39
croraf_And I had some luck also, we almost quit, and I alsmost switched to widnows19:40
croraf_Now I have issues with my microphone and headphoes.19:40
leftyfb!enter | croraf_19:40
ubottucroraf_: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone.19:40
leftyfbcroraf_: to be honest, I doubt verymuch that a kernel change is going to make a difference with your headphones or microphone19:41
croraf_Also this is the bug that I reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1852636, I still have to disable wayland, and boot with "pci=nommconf".19:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1852636 in linux (Ubuntu) "Cannot install any release on HP Omen 17-cb0013nm " [Undecided,Confirmed]19:41
leftyfbcroraf_: regardless, downgrading to Ubuntu 18.04(bionic) from 19.10(eoan) is not going to get you a newer kernel. And if running edge on bionic, it will be the same exact kernel on eoan.19:42
croraf_OK, can you just answer me the question, which one will be installed as latest if I switch to 18.0419:42
croraf_v23 or v24?19:42
leftyfbI already answered that. Neither, it will be a 5.0 kernel, not 5.3.19:43
croraf_If I switch to 18.04 and to hwe-edge?19:44
* leftyfb sigh19:44
leftyfbcroraf_: again, Running the -edge kernel, which will be 5.3.0.23 on bionic (.24 if you enable the proposed repository) will be the SAME EXACT .23 kernel you are currently running(.24 if you just run your normal updates). And again, I do not believe any of these kernels is the solution to your problem.19:45
croraf_OK. I was just wondering if I switch to 18.04 hwe-edge will I get the same kernel as the one I'm able to get with current 19.10. If true (and it is), I will likely switch to the LTS version, as it is LTS, thus recommended.19:47
leftyfbcroraf_: LTS is recommended, running the -edge kernel is not unless it's required for you to run a piece of hardware.19:48
croraf_It is required, cause my wifi needs kernel 5.1.19:48
croraf_v23 is mapped to 5.3.7 mainline, v24 to 5.3.10. 3 patch versions :) so I might get lucky with at least some of my hardware issues :)19:50
leftyfbcroraf_: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/pHfJCtBMY6/19:52
croraf_What does the link tell me?19:54
leftyfbcroraf_: it tells you on Ubuntu 18.04(Bionic), the latest linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04-edge available from the default repos is 5.3.0.23.92. If you enable the proposed repo, you will update to 5.3.0.24.9319:55
croraf_Thx leftyfb . Why cannot i find 5.3.0.24 for eoan here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/linux-generic?20:01

d0tsun7indoorcat have you tried lastpass21:05
OerHekssolve that first? pastebin the errors on paste.ubuntu.com21:06
indoorcatnot yet21:06
d0tsun7lastpass is probably the most popular. 1password and keepass are also very popular, but definitely lastpass is good. that's what i use.21:06
OerHeksmaybe the browser issue is connected to no updates...21:07
indoorcatyou don't synch passwords? firefox and google have the synch option21:07
Volad_Malevichmatsaman at this moment there is no way to get ralink/mediatek driver on manufacturer site21:08
indoorcati need another browser21:08
indoorcati want to ditch google21:08
d0tsun7that option definitely works too21:08
OerHeksfix your update first..21:08
Ben64indoorcat: chromium?21:08
d0tsun7firefox is where its at :) just my preference21:08
indoorcatbut i use firefox to have more privacy21:08
matsamanyeah I prefer Firefox, but they don't make it easy to continue to21:08
OerHeksso you don't want to fix updates?21:08
matsamanwhen I abandon it it won't be for chromium, though21:09
matsamanbut Firefox with a different frontend21:09
indoorcati gotta go to work21:09
indoorcatill be back to troubleshoot my updates problems21:09
OerHeksoh, run away for solutions...21:09
matsamannaw, you could always be a bum21:09
indoorcatbut im having issues with firfox21:09
croraf_leftyfb: this is the bug that affects me, I hoped it will be solved with this patch. But I'll have to wait for another day it seems21:09
indoorcatit isnt running smoothly anymore21:09

BlendphysHi all. Share Wifi Internet Over Ethernet does not work in 18.04? 2 PCs, 2 new 18.04 installs, it does simply not work. However, if one PC is still on 16.04, then everything is perfect. Any idea?21:10
KINgGh0sTd0tsun7, exact same outcome21:11
KINgGh0sTI am about to reinsall the whole os in a second...losing my mind21:11
d0tsun7kinggh0st ok real quick, service mysql status and service mariadb status21:18
seereKINgGh0sT: remove the offending call in the script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/. The hard way would be to add an "exit 0" just after the shebang line.21:18
d0tsun7let me see if i can get you a viable path to go in terms of finding out why mariadb is throwing that error. if not, if this is business related or work related, if you don't have time to continue on this path reinstalling may be an option to clear this up.21:19
d0tsun7i wish i could see the install error, sometimes losing buffers like that is really unfortunate21:19
seered0tsun7: Should be in https://pastebin.com/hQ0CxSfM21:20
d0tsun7seere it's missing the initial sudo apt-get install mysql-community-server. it has the sudo apt-get install -f as the beginning line21:21
d0tsun7unfortunately21:21
KINgGh0sTd0tsun7, both running21:22
seered0tsun7: should not matter when trying to remove a non Ubuntu package. The best way I can see is to tweak the .prerm script and remove the 3rd party package.21:22
d0tsun7kinggh0st both mysql and mariadb are running successfully?21:23
d0tsun7try to execute mysql in your terminal and see if it works21:23
d0tsun7mysql -u root -p21:23
d0tsun7password should be blank or root21:23
KINgGh0sTwell, service isn't working.. I don't know why. so I used ps -a | grep mysql21:23
d0tsun7ok21:24
KINgGh0sTERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)21:24
* seere thinks that wouldn't fix the apt problem?21:24
d0tsun7seere: you're right but im just trying to see how broken the package is. it seems to be running but not running properly due to whatever happened with the install21:24
seered0tsun7: so just let him remove the 3rd party package, clean up and install the Ubuntu one?21:25
KINgGh0sTThat's what I want to do. I want rid of the mysql repository one21:26
d0tsun7kinggh0st definitely set up an LVM2 partition on your next rig so you can do a sudo lvcreate -L 5GB -n root-snapshot -s ubuntu-vg/root to create a snapshot and then do a lvconvert --merge ubuntu-vg/root-snapshot to restore. so you can always do this before you do things that may potentially be risky and save your butt21:29
d0tsun7seere: yeah -- seems his system is having a hickup when trying to remove the mysql-community-server package. it says mariadb is throwing an error and won't let the uninstall proceed.21:29
KINgGh0sTd0tsun7, damn. Didn't ever know that was a thing. Definitely doing that from on21:30
seered0tsun7: thatswhy I suggested to hack (or just remove) the failing mysql-community-server.prerm script, remove the package and start over afterwards.21:31
d0tsun7seere: oh okay that may work yeah. kinggh0st did you feel out that potential fix?21:31
d0tsun7kinggh0st: totally. it takes a tiny bit of getting used to syntax wise, but it's saved my butt 100%.21:32
seered0tsun7: should be the easiest road to try from what I read so far.21:32
KINgGh0sTseere, can you walk me through it?21:33
seereKINgGh0sT: there should be a /var/lib/dpkg/info/<packagename>.prerm script, right?21:35
* seere is jumping over various Linux/non-Linux-but-UNIX hosts to reach this channel. Sadly none of them is Ubunut currently.21:36
KINgGh0sTseere, correct21:37
matsamanseere: you can fix that I'm sure21:38
seereKINgGh0sT: *I* would just look into what this script is doing and fix the error. But I think thats way beyond your knowledge?21:38
KINgGh0sTyeah. I hadn't used *nix in a while, so I am very rusty21:39
seereKINgGh0sT: add a line like "exit 0" just afetr the shebang ("#!.."). Or jsut try to rename it to *.prerm.sorf21:40
* seere thinks he needs a better keyboard...21:41
KINgGh0sTseere... well that worked21:43
seereKINgGh0sT: now try to uninstall the package.21:43
KINgGh0sTIt worked21:43
KINgGh0sTthen mariadb installed correctly21:43
seereKINgGh0sT: high five!21:44
KINgGh0sTThank you seere and d0tsun721:44
KINgGh0sTyou guys are awesome21:44
seereKINgGh0sT: you're welcome21:46
d0tsun7so awesome godo job seere21:46
d0tsun7good job*21:46
seered0tsun7: thx, just have some decades of experience to share *g*21:51
d0tsun7that's awesome. i've only been in the space since 16.0421:53
d0tsun7really happy i came over to the linux world21:53
d0tsun7i mean, like really using linux. i've done web development adjustments for LAMP stacks on nix boxes since around 2007, but i never really used nix as a daily driver til 16.0421:54
d0tsun7a lot more fun than windows, that's for sure21:54
TikityTikhow can i tell what installed a package on my system?21:55
TikityTiki don't know if i compiled and installed it, used snap, or apt, or what21:55
bpromptTikityTik:  you can always just run "synaptic" to check, do a quick search there21:56
seered0tsun7: I came around during the early SLS and Slackware releases. Yes, that was in the last century ;)21:57
bpromptTikityTik:  you can also try with -> dpkg -l | grep -i PACKAGENAMEHERE, if the first column on the output is "ii", then is installed21:57
d0tsun7seere: haha, that's awesome man. respect.21:58
bpromptseere:   ran win98 and Mandrake7.2, yes it was in 98 =P, ran slackware but mainly from a bootable floppy in CLI21:59
d0tsun7win98se was my fav21:59
d0tsun7win 2k was a flop for drivers. continued to run 98se til xp. good os.21:59
bpromptalso ran winXP and SuSE9.2, at some point I was triple-booting with XP SuSE9.2 and RedHat22:00
d0tsun7i wish i was running linux as a dual boot during those days22:01
* seere thinks it's going offtopic. And my nurse insists I have to go to bed now ;)22:02
matsamanmandrake, heh22:02
d0tsun7just a dab of OT seere22:02

TikityTiki installed rust via curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh i think22:05
TikityTikand i am unable to install it22:05
matsamanTikityTik: you'll have to download that installer and find out what it writes22:06
matsamanthen reverse it22:06
matsamanalternatively you could replace your Ubuntu system files utterly22:06
=== leden_ is now known as leden
matsamanand ...22:07
matsamanthere might be a way to ask dpkg/apt about files it doesn't recognize/know about22:07
matsamanyou can do that with some package managers on some distros22:07
matsamanunknown files are either (1) your own personal files you would recognize, or (2) these types of random installer files, that can be trashed22:07
matsamanall other files should be recognized by a package manager, ideally22:07
TikityTiki think i got it now, thanks22:07
bpromptTikityTik:   why the tracking of the package manager/method anyway? is the package not running? buggy? are you just trying to find some libs from it?22:08
TikityTikubuntu doesn't have a package for alacritty and the one from snap is too old22:09
bpromptmatsaman:   mandrake was da bomb!!  got it from a 4CD set, came with repository of stuff, lots of apps :P22:09

adrian_1908minimalist terminal emulator22:11
bprompta terminal emulator?  shoot, there are so many, why bother with a specific one =)22:11
VlanXHello... any kind suggestion on how to change the DNS on ubuntu server 18.04 since writing to /etc/resolv.conf is not allowed?22:11
rivaldevypbprompt: konsole is a good one22:12
bpromptTikityTik:   are you just needing any terminal emulator?  I mean, there's xterm, mrvt and others22:12
ryuoVlanX: you can replace resolv.conf still, but resolved is the official way to handle it now.22:12
bpromptrivaldevyp:  is what I use =)22:12
adrian_1908VlanX: edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and set `DNS=11.22.33.44`22:12
rivaldevypbprompt: ey, nice22:12
TikityTikbprompt: using Nord for tmux which has font issues with my default emulator22:12
matsamanheh22:12
shibbolethfor some reason the verbose boot text, desktop, picture on the screen is "more grey" (dunno how to put it) wheen booting kernel 5.3 vs 4.1522:13
shibbolethno such issue in 5.022:13
rivaldevypis yaru theme available w/ 18.04?22:14
bpromptTikityTik:   tried Konsole yet?  I've tried many minimal TTY CLI apps, and Konsole is very well featured, mind you that I'm on Kubuntu and Konsole uses KDE libs, but Konsole is very well featured22:14
shibbolethin short, my displays look at lot cheaper when booting 5.3 :)22:14
TikityTiki'll give it a try22:14
rivaldevyp+1 for konsole22:15
shibbolethdisplays connected by displayport, intel skylake graphics22:15
rivaldevypvery nice on Arch22:15
shibbolethimagine looking at a cheap-ass LCD vs a decent one at best buy. one has excellent black, the other will be tainted by a grey hue22:16
TikityTikbprompt: konsole doesn't work either22:16
bpromptTikityTik:   doesn't work, meaning?22:16
TikityTikit has font issues with my nord plugin for tmux22:18
VlanXryuo, adrian_1908  thank you but unfortunately this doesnt seem to work. With systemd-resolve --status I see another DNS set :(22:19
ryuoVlanX: did you restart resolved?22:19
adrian_1908^22:19
TikityTikthis is what is broken for those other emulators: https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-tmux22:19
TikityTikanyhow thanks for the help, have to go22:20
adrian_1908TikityTik: It doesn't render the right glyphs (e.g. arrows), or what's the issue?22:20
ryuoTranslation: "Uh oh. Exit, stage left!"22:20
bpromptTikityTik:   change the font maybe? in Konsole, you can just press ctrl-shift-m to show/hide the top-menu and go to settings, or just right-click on the screen and pick "Edit Profile", go to the [Appearance] tab and choose another font maybe, doesn't seem is the terminal per se, so much as the fonttype in used22:20
ryuohe already left.22:20
bpromptjust saw it :|22:21
VlanXryuo: I've restarted the whole vm22:21
ryuoVlanX: do you rely on external DNS only?22:21
ryuoVlanX: ultimately.22:21
ryuothe main thing resolved offers is caching.22:21
ryuosomething i think nscd provides as well22:22
ryuoVlanX: i mean, how do you get your DNS settings currently?22:23
ryuostatic?22:23
adrian_1908VlanX: does your VM have one network interface, or multiple? If the latter, do they all use the wrong DNS?22:25
adrian_1908I mean, does `systemd-resolve --status` report them as using the wrong one?22:26
VlanXryuo: adrian_1908:  the new DNS is another VM in the same network, the current one is the gateway and I remember to have set is with an oneliner command via CLI but I cannot remember it22:33
adrian_1908VlanX: does systemd-resolved report the wrong DNS in its global and per-interface setting? Maybe you're accidentally overriding the global setting per-interface?22:34
adrian_1908*resolve22:35
VlanXadrian_1908: sorry, how do I check the per-interface setting?22:44
VlanXbtw the server only has a single interface22:44
adrian_1908VlanX: I meant since you said you ran `systemd-resolve --status` where it shows if the interface has a different DNS than the global default.22:45
adrian_1908VlanX: You can also look in `/etc/netplan/{FILENAME}.conf` if your eth has a nameserver assigned there. That could be overwriting what's in resolved.conf22:46
adrian_1908If that's not the case, then I'm out of idea. Btw, actual VM or container?22:47
VlanXadrian_1908: yes, actual VM22:49
adrian_1908VlanX: and though which technology? Maybe there's a config there that overrides anything DNS related in the guest?22:50

MJ6666hello!  I am having sound problems (no sound) with a Dreamcast emulator called "Redream".  I just updated from ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10.  The update caused the issue.  It worked fine in ubuntu 19.04.  Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?23:57
matsamanMJ6666: kernel, pulseaudio, alsa, redream itself23:59
matsamanany of those and more could've changed in an undesired way23:59
sarnoldMJ6666: fire up pavucontrol while redream is running and see if there's anything interesting there?23:59
