[00:00] Thanks but I'm not interested in having ops [00:00] Hello jacober! [00:00] hello [00:00] How are you today? [00:00] How can we help?? [00:00] I will try just installing windows and see what happens. thanks a lot jeremy31 , bprompt and d0tsun7 ! [00:00] well, you? [00:01] Fantastic! 19.10 dropped so good times!! [00:01] pfirsich: right, that doesn't mean Windows was busted, it could just have been that the UUID had changed and Grub wasn't updated [00:01] IndianSlim: please stop. [00:01] Hello xamithan! [00:01] pfirsich 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] el please don't highlight me [00:02] initially 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 then [00:02] pfirsich you know where to find us no worries! Best of luck! [00:02] IndianSlim: please don't be insulting to users here or you'll be removed. [00:02] pfirsich: installing Windows after Ubuntu will prevent Ubuntu from booting. Windows will not add an entry for Ubuntu to boot. [00:03] pfirsich: sounds to me you'll be installing both either way =) [00:03] pfirsich windows wont install with another os on the UUID [00:03] el No one has insulted anyone, please mind your own business and stop highlighting me please [00:03] for the love of god IndianSlim just shutup [00:03] d0tsun7 no need to be rude [00:03] Hello fuze! [00:03] thanks again! see you [00:03] thank you el [00:04] pfirsich: 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 best [00:05] i'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] pfirsich: bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi [00:05] rzulo: 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 reinstalling [00:06] pfirsich: 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 there [00:06] i've turned my join/quit messages off, hopefully he saw that. [00:07] d0tsun7: nope. they already bailed. [00:07] d0tsun7: they are gone [00:07] dang....he really needed to see that last message. i was just searching for that RUN command the whole time [00:07] oh well... he may be back [00:08] d0tsun7: if they read the links I posted, they have that info [00:08] jeremy31: ok cool [00:21] upgraded 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? [00:24] When I did the upgrade I had to delete all of my profiles and set them up again [00:25] Zaliek: 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 rig [00:25] But 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 all [00:26] Yep, experienced that too [00:26] nothing in journalctl or syslog either [00:26] Later versions of ubuntu desktop fixed the indicator issues [00:27] what version are you running now? [00:27] 19.10 [00:27] k I'm tempted to take it to the next level then [00:27] I only run LTS releases on servers, desktop just changes too fast [00:27] And really the upgrades are usually pain free [00:27] yeh, I was going to wait until 20.04 LTS === overfiend is now known as PoPpiLLs [00:28] However the change from Unity to Gnome was surprisingly well done but there was a lot of gore [00:28] I'm running MATE Do you think I'll hit the same issues [00:29] Can't say. But any official flavor will attempt to make version upgrades as pain free as possible [00:29] You should always take a system image upgrading though [00:29] k, thanks for the info. Helps me feel like I'm not losing my mind [00:29] *before upgrading [00:30] well 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 again [00:30] But yeah unless you're running desktop in a corporate environment or something embedded that isn't at all failure tolerant [00:31] i def always dd my disk before upgrades [00:31] helped me a lot [00:31] Then using LTS releases usually does a disservice to the desktop experience [00:31] clonezilla is a decent tool [00:31] nah, just my home computer workstation. I develop on it though, so it all all that stuff that is a pain to reinstall [00:31] Because you're stuck with the same bugs for a long time [00:31] And a lot of new features you won't get [00:32] d0tsun7: I have a RAID 1 LVM here. will that work? [00:32] IMO the ubuntu live cd/usb and using the disks program to image drives works well [00:33] k0d3g3ar: i believe an LVM2 snapshot would definitely work as long as your snapshot partition doesn't fill up. [00:33] k thanks [00:34] k0d3g3ar: 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 situations [00:35] got it. thanks [00:35] k0d3g3ar, for illustrative purposes: I've been upgrading my laptop since 14.04. And I do dev work, VMs, all that jazz [00:36] I never experienced more than minor glitches from upgrading [00:36] Zaliek: 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 8 [00:36] zaliek: i was not familiar that the ubuntu disk had that option. that's pretty cool. [00:37] d0tsun7, I really like using that because it's easy to mount those images and explore the files contained in the image [00:38] Clonezilla makes images that I could never figure out how to access besides restoring to a drive [00:38] zaliek: will it accept reads on any image or only images produced by that ubuntu disk program? -- that is pretty cool [00:38] is what you are referring to the "Create Disk Image" option in the "Disks" app in the menu? [00:38] zaliek: true. clonezilla saves it in an odd way for sure [00:38] Zaliek: it's a raw image. Using something like losetup to detect and setup loop devices for you to mount the separate partitions [00:38] Yeah that's the option [00:39] It pretty much works exactly the same as if you inserted a physical drive [00:39] Use the OS tools to decrypt and mount partitions, etc [00:40] so if im in "Disks" where would isee that tool [00:40] ah i see it. [00:41] well that's nifty. learn something new every day. [00:41] Yeah depends on the version of gnome you're running [00:41] They like to change the UI [00:42] so if you wanted to browse that image, which option would you select to view those files [00:43] Attach Disk Image [00:43] within the Disks 3 dotted icon to reveal the menu [00:43] ahh, nice. [00:43] interesting no permissions conflict doing it that way. [00:44] pretty cool. [00:44] i always thought the file system being in use would stop a proper image being taken like that [00:45] Why 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] Oh, I dunno if I'd take an image while the system is running [00:46] I boot the installer in live mode and take an image there [00:47] zaliek: roger that. [00:50] i 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] k0d3g3ar good call [00:51] I think I have to do this off a livecd [00:52] hey 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 18.10 [00:53] i 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 19.10 [00:54] gnome extensions are very fragile [00:54] I'd consider it a miracle if they're still functioning on a new version of gnome [00:54] yeah for sure...seems to have trouble === DarthRadar3 is now known as DarthRadar [01:09] d0tsun7, Zaliek You can set the filesystem to read only and image it then. [01:10] cluelessperson_ oh really [01:13] d0tsun7, as long as you're not running anything that requires writing [01:15] cool [01:30] leftyfb | d0tsun7: also, undo anything fructose told you. You should not need any special configs for CTRL+shift+C to work [01:31] d0tsun7: You wanted to yank from vim, right? [01:34] eh it's starting to look like time to switch to another distro [01:36] ZeZu, one could perform a filecheck/smart report [01:37] already all done [01:37] also checked journalctl [01:37] but that's not the only reason i'm considering switching after over a decade, it's been one problem after another [01:39] anyhow, 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 .. [01:40] ZeZu: duplicated the UUIDs -such that now they are no longer unique ? [01:41] no, the other partition is not on a connected device [01:42] Ofc 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 all [01:43] vague, "init scipts" .. [01:43] indeed but I don't currently recall which tbh [01:43] there are quite a few after all [01:46] if 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 have [01:46] excellent luck lately with ubuntu [01:47] and going and going [01:47] :) [01:47] didn't know i'd his someones handle lmao [01:47] s/his/hit [01:51] systemd-journal-flush.service https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4422 [01:53] https://hastebin.com/cecuxutufo.sql [02:16] lotuspsychje: welp, i just got back to this and also to a point with the external monitor working. The two other issues we've dealt with are still present but hey, one by one. https://github.com/altendky/issues/issues/1#issuecomment-560197332 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:23] since i am presently recreating https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1854177 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1854413 in Ubuntu 18.04 rather than the reported 19.10, should I report new bugs? can I add other distribution versions to the same issue? [02:24] Launchpad bug 1854177 in linux (Ubuntu) "Black screen after resume from suspend on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2" [Undecided,Confirmed] [02:24] Launchpad bug 1854413 in linux (Ubuntu) "Backlight adjustments shows OSD but does not change anything on Samsung OLED panel" [Medium,Confirmed] [02:31] * 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] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/DzRK1y06/ [02:32] rocky: is that a gen2? [02:32] sudo works fine of course [02:32] atol-71: the laptop you mean? yes [02:32] or just straight x1 extreme [02:33] gen2 yeah [02:33] trying to monitor the temp of my nvme drives [02:33] without sudo [02:35] rocky: 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? [02:36] rocky: https://www.computing.zone/run-smartctl-without-password/ [02:37] rocky: also, did you log out and back in after adding yourself to the disk group? [02:38] I 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" ... [02:39] @leftyfb yeah,otherwise running "groups" didn't display the disk group that was in my paste... but i'll try the sudoers thing [02:39] altendky: i haven't tried hdmi ... but resume (from suspend) and screen brightness work fine [02:39] ... 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] rocky: 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 root [02:39] What am I doing wong, how can I attach files to a bug? [02:39] rocky: what distro/release/kernel version, if you don't mind? oled screen? [02:40] leftyfb: all i'm doing is trying to get the Freon gnome extension to display my nvme drive temps in the task bar [02:40] and i'm assuming it can't do sudo since it refreshes evrery 5 sec [02:40] rocky: use lmsensors? [02:40] lmsensors doesn't do nvme [02:41] altendky: ubuntu 19.10 with standard kernel [02:41] Freon has support for using nvme-cli and smarttools to monitor nvme temp apparently but it's not working for me :/ [02:41] rocky: alrighty, thanks. [02:42] altendky: i should add that this was originally a 19.04 setup and i upgraded (without using the ubuntu live cd) to 19.10 [02:43] altendky: only thing not working for me (that i wish was working) is the fingerprint device [02:43] rocky: best i know on that is that fprintd iirc is supposed to support it in v2 [02:43] yeah that's what i've seen as well [02:43] i have an external usb-based fingerprint device that i refuse to use lol [02:44] rocky: 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] rocky: 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] oh, i've never really used the fingerprint stuff in linux anyhow so i didnt know what to expect [02:45] Bashing-om: hm, i have no /etc/hddtemp.db [02:45] rocky: it may be different now. that was a couple years ago maybe [02:47] rocky: Got me - I donot recall if the installation of "lmsensors" creates the file. "sysop@x1804mini:~$ ls -al /etc/hddtemp.db [02:47] >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6811 Sep 21 18:48 /etc/hddtemp.db" [02:48] well 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/ [02:49] obviously my current user, rocky, is in the disk group and the disk group has rw access to the device [02:50] rocky: 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] hm, you may have a valid point [02:50] rocky: though i've got no *nvme* under there... hmm [02:51] bah, on the first laptop i don't because, well, it doesn't have nvme. plenty of hits on the laptop that does :] [02:52] yeah i installed a second nvme on this thinkpad so i have my 512gb for ubuntu and my 1tb for windows dual boot [02:52] although i run ubuntu about 95% and windows 5% [02:53] and i wasn't able to install a heat sink on my additional nvme drive which is why i'm trying to monitor temp lol === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 === Leion1 is now known as Leion [03:31] Hi, my audio doesn't seem to work unless I run alsactl restore every time i plug in my headphones [03:46] I have this bug in my recently installed gnome-shell for Ubuntu 19.04, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1822846 . Someone has mentioned that "This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.32.1-1ubuntu1~19.04.1". My question is how do I apply this fix, or how do I upgrade my gnome-shell to this version. My gnome-shell version is GNOME Shell 3.32.0 [03:46] Launchpad bug 1822846 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu Eoan) "Icon disappears from favorites in gnome-shell 3.32 (upstream dock, not the ubuntu-dock)" [High,Fix released] [03:53] !info gnome-shell disco [03:53] gnome-shell (source: gnome-shell): graphical shell for the GNOME desktop.

[04:01] Erikria: allo allo === Leion1 is now known as Leion [04:02] Bashing-om, Hi. it doesn't show any upgrades when I update it. I don't know if this particular Gnome 3.32.1-1 is a normal update or a fix [04:03] sazawal: checking. [04:05] sazawal: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-shell&searchon=names&suite=disco-updates§ion=all suggest it is a normal update. [04:06] Bashing-om, I see. How do I go about applying this update? [04:07] sazawal: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade ? [04:07] Bashing-om, it says that the system is up to date. [04:08] sazawal: Hummm ... how about sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell ? [04:09] Bashing-om, Yes I also tried that, but ended up installing the same version. [04:10] By the way, when I go to Settings>Details, it says that my Gnome is 3.32.1. But on terminal, gnome-shell --version says that I have 3.32.0 [04:13] sazawal: Pastebin ' apt policy gnome-shell ' - see what we can do to find out the why. [04:15] Bashing-om, Hi. Sorry I will be back later. I gotta go now. [04:27] Downloaded 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 here [04:29] foo: "copy" the .ISO to the USB thumb drive ( Mac has 'dd',no?). [04:29] Bashing-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-drive [04:30] 8GB thumb drive is good [04:31] perhaps 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) [04:33] foo: like what the device path will be? [04:33] https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-create-disk-image-on-mac-os-x-with-dd-command/ [04:33] matsaman: so, I just downloaded ubuntu desktop. It downloads a 2GB ISO. [04:33] ahh, perfect... that's what I'm looking for [04:33] thank you matsaman :) [04:34] there are apps if you'd rather, but [04:34] foo: I expect Mac to be similar to ubuntu's command. i.e 'sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync" . [04:34] * foo a bit rusty, first time installing ubuntu desktop in over a decade [04:34] usually confirming a particular device is the same size as what it should be is enough [04:34] can't say I've ever dd'd from macOS [04:34] y'know, just don't get of= wrong =) [04:35] :) [04:41] what's the upside of dd vs. cp for this? i've just been doing cp kubuntu-... /dev/sdc [04:41] oh, I didn't think I could cp like that? [04:41] I like that idea if that works [04:41] altendky: and you can boot from that? [04:42] foo: 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 laptop [04:42] but like i asked, i don't know if there are reasons to use dd instead [04:44] there aren't [04:45] altendky: 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 sectors [04:45] dd, sync [04:45] just because something "works", doesn't mean it's the right tool for the job. I see no advantage of using cp over dd. [04:46] leftyfb: 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] leftyfb: sure, i'm not arguing cp is better. [04:46] they do the same thing, and last time i benchmarked them cp wasn't any slower [04:47] if you're used to one of them, just use that [04:49] huh, good to know. thanks altendky for sharing that. [04:49] More for curiosity, I'll probably go with sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync [04:49] Although not sure what the sync does [04:50] sync -- force completion of pending disk writes (flush cache) [04:50] ah [04:51] particularly useful for usb storage [04:51] which can frequently pretend it's done when it isn't [04:51] matsaman: good to know [04:52] usually because of the FSes preferred by USB, but still [04:57] (A) Could someone confirm please? (1) Open "Show Applications" (2) Find an application who's name is too long to display (so "..." is shown) (3) hover over it. (4) There is no tooltip showing the full name of the application.

[05:21] Renderer: Network manager [05:21] and where is the file NetworkManager is talking about the ifaces? [05:22] matsaman: lets keep general opinions out of the support channel please [05:24] sure, but if you don't want people to consider a thing, why put it into the factoid [05:25] oerheks1, it says it should be /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections [05:25] dir is empty! LOL [05:26] matsaman: the yaml file is essential to netplan [05:26] lotuspsychje: uhuh, but not that it's yaml [06:04] Anyone have a suggestion why a Ubuntu Server would stop responding to ssh after a while (hours or days)? [06:04] I've built my NAS and it works perfectly most of the time but after I don't use it for hours or days, I try to SSH into it and it's not responding...

[07:14] EdFletcherT137: i will check that out [07:14] tatertots: yes [07:15] RTL8188ETV 0bda:0179 [07:15] ...why i had to force that out of you is beyond me lol [07:16] ah i should have used better wording, that is correct :D [07:16] my apologies [07:16] i noticed i had this cheap little usb adaptor that supports monitor mode [07:16] based on that github [07:19] EdFletcherT137: tatertots: i ran the make all, sudo make install [07:19] and thought that would install the drivers [07:19] after those commands did i need to use dkms add . [07:19] dkms build 8188eu/1.0 [07:19] dkms install 8188eu/1.0 [07:19] also [07:21] pi0: your instructions tell you to reboot or unplug / replug the device?...if so did you follow the instructions to the letter? [07:25] it does not [07:25] there is a lot of assuming [07:25] in that instructions === MrSheesh is now known as Mr_Sheesh [07:27] ducasse: hey this guy has a wlan adapter and wants to make it work [07:27] yes please [08:34] I'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 now [08:34] I've installed cups but I don't have a printer GUI and my printer doesn't show up when I try print a document [08:35] Sounds like you got yourself a _broken_ minimal system by using debootstrap instead of a supported installer. [08:35] previously 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 printers [08:35] Simplest solution: use a proper installer! [08:35] and when I pressed print, it listed my printer, and I could print. [08:35] What is the gtk/qt printer GUI program called? [08:36] I'm not going to reinstall. [08:36] I want to know what components are needed for printing [08:38] you are looking for system-config-printer, maybe? [08:39] that's the gnome thingy, though, no idea of the kde couterpart [08:41] ah yes, I just found and installed that [08:42] you could also use the cups web interface [08:51] Hi. I'm on 19.10. I am not using GNOME but I am using XMonad. How do I connect to my Bluetooth Speaker from the command line? === Leion1 is now known as Leion [09:12] Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 19.10. In the last few weeks, I need to press Control-C (or click on the "Copy" menu item) two or three times to actually copy something. This started with 19.04 and was not fixed when I upgraded to 19.10. It didn't use to be so. Do you know why? [09:18] how to enable RDP in remmina? [09:18] ask ##linux [09:31] hi [09:33] when i access RDP of remote windows server i get "the display settings cannot be changed from a remote session" and i'm unable to change the resolution, any idea? [09:56] guys i really need help on this; i tried rdesktop and remmina to access remote windows server but the resolution is too small and i'm unable to change it, any idea? [10:47] annoying problem has manifested on a relatively fresh xubuntu 19 install where NetworkManager can't seem to store/access secrets for mobile broadband connection [10:47] (has no trouble with wifi secrets) [10:47] anyone encountered this or have ideas on how to debug? [10:48] (gnome-keyring-daemon is running) [10:48] i can enter the password in "edit connections" for the connection but it is lost immediately or not saved at all [10:49] even more annoyingly it's just "password" because 4g is derp [10:49] so i can echo "password" | nmcli --ask con up [10:49] and it works fine, but obviously it'd be far preferable if nm-applet would do it properly [10:50] nsh: is /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/$NAME_OF_CONNECTION writable? [10:52] if it doesn't exist, make sure you've made the connection available to all users in the applet [10:53] Hello, is keyserver.ubuntu.com down or something ? I see a internal server error like this one https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&options=mr&exact=on&search=0x7BF576066ADA65728FC7E70A8C47BE8E75BCA694 [10:54] doublel93: looks like it [10:54] 600 root.root Seveas (read/writable by root) [10:54] same as the wifi connections [10:55] seems the integration with the secrets agent is broken somehow [10:55] should be good. Is the password in the file? [10:56] no password field, just password-flags=1 [10:57] you 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 :( [10:59] ah, the field name is password [10:59] Seveas, do you know where I can find info/updates about it ? I can't install certbot :( [10:59] mm [10:59] in NM debug output when i save the connection in nm-applet there's: [1575284332.2868] Saving secrets for connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/6 (giffgaff Mobile Broadband) [10:59] but the file is untouched [11:00] flag 0x0000001 the agent owns the secret [11:01] so there's a setting you've ticked somewhere that makes it not store the password [11:01] I have no clue which one that would be though. Still digging through code :) [11:03] hmm, that seems to be the default [11:04] doublel93: unfortunately not. But you can grab keys from other servers. apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver url_of_other_keyserver_here key_id_here [11:05] ok thanks [11:08] ty Seveas, will debug a bit more when i've had lunch :) [11:10] jo [11:10] https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&options=mr&exact=on&search=0xE1B39B6EF6DDB96564797591AE33835F504A1A25 [11:10] whos guilty on this? :D [11:12] Anyone know off-hand where i'd start to debug xorg crashes in 19.10? Directions on building from upstream source and running it manually, say. [11:14] your Xorg log id think? [11:15] Yeah, I've got that and gdb backtraces of the crash. Now I probably need to start doing git bisect to see where the bug was introduced upstream, I think. [11:27] hi. I have an issue with the wifi on BCM43142. the connection is ok and then immediatly disconnect and loop like that. I can see in the log of the AP that my wifi interface is authenticated and associated. I amusing wl driver on 19.10. [11:28] do you have multiple things managing your card? [11:28] i had a similar issue using wicd when networkmanager was running [11:36] solsTiCe: in terminal do> sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf && systemctl restart network-manager.service [11:36] That will disable wifi power management [11:36] ok [11:36] :) [11:49] I'm having problems getting 19.10 up and running with multiple screens on my Lenovo P51 laptiop (using hybrid graphics). It just doesn't detect the external screens. Running the testet nvidia driver. The irony is that this is working on 18.04. Any ideas on how to proceed? [11:49] Give up 19.10 and wait for 20.04? [11:51] I've tested running discrete graphics only from BIOS. This hangs the 19.10 boot and I get no gdm login. [11:55] Running nouveau had no positive effect. Still only the built-in display and it won't detect the external screens [12:14] still no wifi [12:17] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rVWB265rfG/ [12:18] I even disable country reg set. no luck === [diablo]3 is now known as [diablo] [12:44] Hi all.. im having some SMB issue.. the server shows .. but when clicking on it (ubuntu 18 share to ubuntu 16 machine) it just says ;timed out; [12:44] I am trying to share to kodi [12:48] Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out [12:57] Howdy folks [12:58] hi [12:58] apologies, it was simple firewall issue [12:58] keep well all === westor{off} is now known as westor [13:35] . [13:37] ducasse, sorry for late reply thanks, you were right BTW [13:39] about system-config-printer? i had to install it manually myself, i have a similar situation [14:36] hello. Sometimes the sdcard slot in my laptop stops working and I have to reboot the laptop to get it back agains. How can I troubleshoot this? [14:46] giaco, look at your logs with gnome log viewer [14:46] giaco, probably some module is crashing [14:50] Hi. I'm on 19.10. How do I connect to my Bluetooth Speaker from the command line? [14:53] Hi there! how do I set "permissions" for a folder/user so that everyone can access the folder? [14:53] I'm seeing only root can: drwxrwx--- 7 777 root 4096 Dec 1 21:59 /mnt/2TB/Downloads/config [14:55] Chunkyz: You need to set the 'other' flags. In this case, chmod directoryname o+rwx [14:55] Chunkyz: add a -R if you want it to recursively set perms to any files/directories in that directory. [14:56] Far better to assign a group and use group access, however, setting full world read/write/exec like that can and often is a security hole [14:57] sudo chown *ubuntuuser*:*ubuntuuser* /mnt/2TB/Downloads/config [14:57] sorted I think, just rebooting. [15:01] Phruis: no hints from dmesg :-/ [15:04] Chunkyz: what's FS do you have on your external device ? [15:04] ext4 [15:06] If I added a new route to my routing table, is a network restart needed?
