[00:30] how can i remove snap from my system? [00:34] one could stop snapd and remove it.. but why? [00:35] OerHeks, it might seem silly but many people have reported a bug to canonical about the snap folder showing up in the home directory but they wont fix it [00:35] to me it is just a sign of their level of attention to detail [00:35] indeed, it is no bug. [00:36] it really is to many people though [00:36] the home folder if not a dot file is for the user [00:36] no, you are the 2nd one i hear about it. [00:37] what's the difference between ~/.config and ~/.local [00:37] look at the bug report like 800+ [00:38] a single directory where user data is stored, defaulting to ~/.local/share; https://askubuntu.com/questions/14535/whats-the-local-folder-for-in-my-home-directory [00:38] OerHeks, sir no one is ever going to use that folder [00:40] Phruis, sure there are, if you use confinement the data will stay in those snap folders. [00:41] like that ~/.local/share, not in your home messing up. pretty neat [00:42] I think dot files are fine i am just saying a folder called "snap" that is lower case and doesn't match the other folders and has files most likely MOST users will never touch is out of place and doesn't make logical sense [01:00] hello, what is the best way to create a user and give him same privileges as root, but without sudo? What were [01:00] people doing without sudo came around? [01:01] before sudo came around** [01:01] i guess that would be a terrible idea [01:02] what were people doing before sudo? [01:02] dunno, clicking windows or ios? [01:04] 2/q [01:08] entreri, in gentoo as user su - but there isnt sudo by default as in ubuntu. but you can sudo su if you need the # for extended time in term [01:13] tor the terminal session *only*: sudo -i # would be the ubuntu way [01:13] but granting no sudo use to users, meh.. [01:16] !root [01:16] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:16] !sudo [01:16] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:18] i tried to uninstall chromium with snap and it is trying to "save" it for me or something and it consumed my entire root partition [01:18] i have 0 bytes now [01:19] so now it wont remove it [01:19] how retarded is this thing? [01:24] snap is so messed up even people writing articles about how they have to force it not to retain backups [01:24] https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/04/how-to-remove-old-snap-versions-to-free.html [01:27] interesting that you are still here, Phruis .. oh ofcourse, it is on an other machine [01:27] sorry? [01:28] is there any support question in there? [01:28] well sir I am clearly having an issue removing chromium and I have to search on the internet to remove it [01:29] it says it MUST be set between 2 and 20 [01:29] why do I need 2 revisions of a snap? [01:31] 1 more than kernels .. i guess it is by design, though large snaps can be an issue [01:38] in my var/log directory what are .journal files? [01:55] How do I `sudo apt install curl php-cli php-mbstring git unzip` for php 7.3 ? It wants to install 7.2 packages. I have the PPA. [01:56] robertparkerx: by adding 7.3 [01:56] guess its php7.3-cli [01:57] lol I'm sorry [01:59] milkshake how do you store a hash as a shell variable [02:00] just like how you create a variable [02:01] $hash = a5c698ffe4b8e849a443b120cd5ba38043260d5c4023dbf93e1558871f1f07f58274fc6f4c93bcfd858c6bd0775cd8d1; ? [02:02] you only need $ when you want to call it [02:04] Nice thank you a lot! === zbenjamin is now known as Guest42479 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:23] Hey guys. I have been facing issue with detecting second HDMI display from ubuntu 18.04 LTS for sometime now. It just stopped working out of the blue. I have taken out time to read solutions posted on stackoverflow and askubuntu before asking it here. Without being too verbose, I want to mention that I don't see the second display on arandr/xrandr. [02:23] I have uninstalled the previouly installed nvidia drivers. I should be running nouveau driver now. Please help me find a solution [02:23] And, I know I haven't shared the output of lspci and lshw. But if you think you can help me, I will share the output of those commands as well. [02:25] I have already tried running sudo X -configure but it comes back with a seg fault. I can share the stack if anyone wants to look at it. I have tested my display with another laptop, The display works just fine and shouldn't be the casue of the problem [02:25] On my setup, HDMI screen is sometimes only detected at login screen, when i turn the screen on and wait a bit. [02:26] akemhp: It doesn't detect the screen for me. The screen goes into power saving mode and stays that way [02:26] HokarPokar, Was it Ubuntu on the other laptop? [02:27] Please don't be insulted by the question, but have you tried a different cable? [02:27] akemhp: No. The other laptop was running windows. But to add, I have been using this screen for over 2 months now with the ubuntu 18.04 LTSas well [02:27] Not being detected by xrandr makes me think there's something more serious than just X config going on. [02:27] It was just 2 days before today that it stopped detecting the display [02:29] akk: Is it normal if lspci shows my nvidia card as 3D controller and not VGA controller. I see that only Intel shows up as a VGA compattible controller [02:30] HokarPokar: Sorry, I wouldn't know, have 0 experience with nvidia. But with nvidia there could always be some kind of weird driver issue involved. [02:30] HokarPokar, Because you have an optimus laptop which has both Intel and Nvidia. [02:31] Nvidia drivers are prefered on this kind of laptops, i would reinstall them. [02:32] akemhp: Well, I can give it another shot. Before doing that, I just had another question. I read up some posts which advise to make an edit like "nouveau.modeset=0" during boot. What does that do ? Do I need to do that ? [02:34] HokarPokar, I think it's a kernel internal parameter to change the behavior of how the graphics stuff are handled. [02:37] In a normal situation you shouldn't have to add boot parameters like that OFC. [02:38] HokarPokar: Make sure you are clean prior to re-installing the Nvidia driver. ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; ls -al /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ; dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia . [02:40] HokarPokar: Also efi system ? Then too disable secure boot in bios. [02:41] Bashing-om. I don't have the xorg.conf in /etc/X11. I see a bunch of files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and dpkg -l returns a bunch of libnvidia libraries that I installed for tensorflow. Should I be concerned about this ? [02:49] Bashing-om akk akemhp_ I can't believe disabling secure boot fixed it. Thank you Bashing-om. While I'm going to look up why it fixed the issue, can you add your 2 cents as well ? [02:57] HokarPokar: :D the nvidia driver is 3rd party software - secure boot is doing its job :) [02:59] where can i get the Latest News about 20.04? Whether there is a review article and use experience? [03:00] lamar_123: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue607 [03:01] lamar_123: In this week's forthcoming issue: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-20.04-Desktop-Trello-Dec [03:05] thanks very much. I'll pay attention @Bashing-om [03:06] lamar_123: Very welcome; there is also #ubuntu+1 channel. [03:09] Bashing-om: ok, i have join it. thanks again [03:15] I'm having a problem with my touchpad (xinput identifies it as "SYNA3255:00 06CB:7F27 Touchpad") on 19.10 on a new Lenovo 330S-15ARR laptop that has be confused. Everything works for the most part, but if I suspend and wake up it only registers "right" click (the touchpad has no actual buttons, so it's all multitouch I guess... two finger click in other words). It happens randomly sometimes too while [03:15] in use. Fixes itself if I switch to GDM using Alt-Ctrl-F1 and back or use xinput disable/enable or rmmod/modprobe i2c_hid. Only other clue I can think of is a "pushModal: invocation of begin_modal failed" in journalctl output when it happens. [03:16] It seems to act like the single click is pressed when it wakes up too. [03:21] wollwllow: My Lenovo model is different, but it seems like a lot of new Lenovos have a touchpad bug that shows up on suspend, and is cured with installing new firmware -- check Lenovo's website. [03:22] wollwllow: Unfortunately at least for my model the firmware is packaged as an exe so installing it is hard if you don't have a Windows dual-boot. [03:22] yeah, I don't have windows installed [03:23] Haven't used it in years... I should look into setting up a Windows USB boot drive or somethng i guess [03:23] Thanks for the advice. [03:23] wollwllow: I fought with it for 4 days and finally managed it, but I had to borrow a real windows machine as part of the process. I wrote it up, http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/exe-firmware-on-linux.html [03:23] Awesome, thanks. [03:24] Wish I could offer an easier solution, but good luck!

[04:05] Bashing-om, but if i do autoremove it will remove .70 (current) also right? [04:06] Abhijit: That is correct . I expect that the -70 kernel still exist andis bootable. [04:08] Abhijit: Autoremove will leave the -72 and 70 (latest 2 kernels), removing all others/ [04:10] Abhijit: Will be of benefit to know why the -72 version kernel fails to boot. A regression ?

[10:19] what would cause an ssh server to just put up connection refused after a while, no firewall running and ip is static [10:19] default ssh config on a local network [10:21] Fudge: connection refused means there's nothing using that port; it's closed, or that the firewall is blocking it. [10:25] ryuo: i was logged into the machine, i guess you are right the ssh server may have stopped [10:53] Hi all! How does one install to a mirrored raid 1 software raid nowadays? Can I boot from raid1/lvm by now? [11:02] lol [11:02] that's a topic that will start a war or flame war [11:03] ascent: are you familiar with the terms fake raid or software raid [11:03] ascent: i can't really say a lot without a war breaking out lol [11:03] the latter, I prefer mdadm for this [11:04] I think there was a time that /boot needed to be a real partition (/dev/sda1 instead of md0, md1 whatever and/or LVM) [11:05] ascent: i think some people have tinkered with trying to boot from software raid / mdadm ...you'll find a youtube video of a guy doing it with a virtual machine... [11:05] ascent: you should find that video and see if that's something you're willing to do [11:08] How is this still an issue after howmanyyears now... haha.

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.

[11:51] lapion: something unique happens during install on EFI when updates are allowed during the install. Once you boot to the install updates should be fine [11:51] I did a reinstall because I had this problem and I hoped that would fix the problem but I guess the updates installed during the install [11:52] jeremy31, this is a reinstall to try to see if I could get the grub to work from a fresh install..

[12:59] does that mean the GNOME desktop? [12:59] I am fairly certain everything on the chain is gigabit [13:00] Paddy_NI: speed of the adapter / router / cable [13:00] Paddy_NI: the lowest speed is what you will see [13:01] Router is Gigabit cable is cat5e (shielded) NIC is Gigabit, switch is gigabit. [13:01] Paddy_NI: and are you getting gigabit speeds when moving data across the LAN? [13:01] No [13:02] Paddy_NI: bypass the switch and plug direct in and test? [13:02] best to eliminate points of failure [13:03] mouses, I will do that although its a bit of a nightmare to do [13:04] Paddy_NI: yeah :( Might want to try another cable too to eliminate that. Also, if the system you are testing speed from->to cannot keep up (perhaps a FUSE filesystem?) overhead can really take a big chunk out of throughput [13:04] mouses, What would be a good solid test? [13:05] Paddy_NI: two devices hooked into the same gigabit able router via LAN and a native sync operation [13:05] mouses, Would sftp suffice? [13:06] that'll take a bit of chunk out of it, but yeah - should be okay [13:06] Cool I guess if it climbs above 100mb/s then I know it's good [13:06] SSH is encrypted so you're going to get crypto overhead [13:06] Was thinking that [13:06] :-) [13:06] also the speed that the device you are copying to is a factor [13:07] like if it's a old 7200 RPM drive or something [13:08] Thanks for your time, I had my home rewired a few years back and had them add shielded cat5 cable however fishing that cable back through again looks to be a nightmare [13:08] heheh it always is :( [13:08] pain in the butt [13:08] jeremy31, sorry it's a ubuntu-mate 18043 problem..

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.

I noticed this line in the Pi B+ spec "Networking: Gigabit Ethernet (via USB channel)" [13:11] Paddy_NI: ahhhh yeah [13:11] Paddy_NI: So you are limited by USB speed [13:11] and that's slow on a PI [13:11] Does that mean they use the same bus or I need a ethernet to usb adapter to get gigabit [13:11] Or buy a Pi 4 [13:11] :-) [13:11] nah, you're likely limited by the storage device of the pi [13:11] is it using a SD card for storage? [13:11] Oh good point [13:12] Usb for boot drive and sd card for extra storage [13:12] USB is faster [13:12] yeah, so there's your bottleneck [13:12] USB is faster, but it's still USB [13:12] sazawal, gnome-shell for disco 19.04 is now 3.32.2-2ubuntu1~ubuntu19.04.1 (not 3.32.0); sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [13:12] no where near 1000GB [13:12] Would that limit my entire network [13:12] nah, should just be when dealing with the pi [13:12] And it does not explain why my pc is getting "100 Mb/s" [13:13] Like currently the pi is off [13:13] something in the chain is likely not gigabit or the visual indication you are getting is not correct [13:14] okay [13:15] can I use a .deb without installing it? [13:15] mouses, This is my switch https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/soho-switch/tl-sg108/ [13:15] just unpack and start using the application inside? [13:15] it is ok if some features don't work properly [13:17] every single component on a network must be gigabit rated, such as the switches, hubs and network interface cards -> afaik, if you have even one device on that LAN that does not support 1000, you're going to get 100 [13:18] ./code: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:18] Paddy_NI: on a pi 3 you should see ~300Mb/s, but the interface should definitely come up at 1G - what does ethtool say about it exactly? [13:19] help [13:19] Cooler: a .deb file not only includes the atual application, but all the versions of all the requirements needed. You can't just normally try to use something inside a .deb file. [13:19] Cooler: What are you trying to run, and on what OS and what version? [13:20] tds, Installing ethtool now [13:20] On both PC and Pi [13:20] mouses, well I don't have admin access on this server and I want to use vscode [13:21] Cooler: talk to the admin of that server [13:21] hmm.. so ethtool has a massive amount of options tds what do I need to run? [13:21] mouses, on vacation [13:21] Paddy_NI: `ethtool eth0` (swapping that for your ethernet interface name) [13:21] so I downloaded the .deb package from the vscode website and unpacked [13:22] Cooler: if a simple dpgk -i foo.deb does not function, you'll need to talk to your server admin [13:22] dpkg* [13:22] mouses, I can build stuff [13:23] tds, on the RPi 3b+ https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BHs3ZGKYjD/ [13:23] I can build from source and run [13:23] https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium [13:23] will that work? [13:23] Paddy_NI: so that's definitely up at 1G, no idea why network-manager would claim 100Mb/s then, odd [13:23] Cooler: If all the needed deps are available, sure. [13:24] tds, On my PC https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NcM4NmYNXd/ [13:24] ok how do I do that? [13:24] follow the instructions to build from source for whatever you are trying to build [13:24] Paddy_NI: ah, that one is at 100M, but the nic claims to support 1G [13:25] tds, When I did a Steam Link connection test it did not climb beyond 100 Mb/s [13:25] tds, Oh [13:25] So my PC is the issue [13:26] or the cable, or the switchport [13:26] hmm [13:26] What limiting factors would the cable have [13:26] I thought cat 5 was cat 5 [13:26] :-) [13:27] depends on length of run, quality of cable, condition of cable - there are so many factors [13:27] Sorry, havent read the issue so forgive me if this is not being dicussed. Does the network adapted support faster than 100 MBPS [13:28] mouses, It's not a long run very short really [13:28] I wonder if the cable that the electricians put in is the problem [13:28] Paddy_NI: a good bet would be to isolate/bypass anything you can [13:28] it could be [13:28] eliminate any variable you can [13:29] Yeah, thats not whats being discussed lol xD [13:29] alekblank: you're a bit late - that is 100% what we have been discussing :) [13:29] oh okay lol [13:30] troubleshooting 101 = eliminate any possible unneeded variables to help isolate a point of failure. [13:30] hence, the stupid questions from tech support. "Have you double checked that it is plugged in" [13:30] alekblank: bingo :P [13:31] alekblank: always start simple [13:31] Right so I have plenty of testing to do. I have a laptop here with a Gigabit NIC. I could swap the cable from my desktop to that. Going to be disconnected for a sec. [13:31] Paddy_NI: I'm off to bed for the day, but good luck testing it!!! [13:31] :-) [13:31] Paddy_NI: you'll figure it out. [13:31] Thank you [13:32] :-) [13:32] anytime, sorry I was not of more use. [13:32] You've been great help [13:41] tds, mouses okay so I unplug the cable from my PC (which was reporting 100 Mb/s) and plugged it in to my ThinkPad T420 (running Windows 10) and it reported 1 Gbps. I then plugged same cable into an Alienware laptop running Ubuntu 19.10 which reports 1000 Mbp/s [13:41] I plugged the cable back into the PC and it now reports 1000 Mbp/s [13:41] I am confused [13:41] it works, just accept it lol [13:42] X-D [13:42] don't question it [13:42] That's not how my brain works [13:42] same [13:42] I wish it did believe me I wish it did [13:42] My wife and everyone I know also wishes I worked that way too [13:42] X-D [13:43] did you change the port on the router? or maybe the router didn't know it was a gigabit port and so was sending it megabit [13:43] It makes me wonder about either the ethernet port or the jack on the cable [13:43] Nope just unplugged cable [13:43] so [13:43] everything is still broken [13:43] I am going to run a steam link connection test on the pi now [13:44] Cooler, No it works [13:44] X-D [13:44] I want to go home [13:44] at work? [13:44] ME too and I already am home!!! [13:44] I might go to someone elses home [13:45] lmao [13:45] so this is the situation https://bpaste.net/raw/CDJVM [13:45] That's pretty nasty looking [13:45] and this is what I get when I do that https://bpaste.net/raw/D3GJI [13:46] Are your sources okay? [13:46] is it safe to kill frontend? [13:46] well I gave it a SIGHUP and it's gone now [13:46] I honestly don't know where to begin. We would need to roll this one all the way back uphill [13:47] Paddy_NI, well there is definitely something wrong with the software update [13:47] r [13:48] How old is this install? [13:48] https://bpaste.net/raw/GYXEW [13:48] Paddy_NI, Ubuntu 18.04 [13:49] I installed it just a few months ago [13:49] Is there a way to mount 2 drives in one folder? [13:50] I guess that would be kinda confusing for the system wouldn't it [13:51] so tmux is installed now [13:51] but the entire package system is still borked [13:51] alekblank: overlayfs [13:53] so https://i.imgur.com/CWhnEbq.png [13:53] see all those updates? [13:53] alright so my idea may be easier than i thought [13:53] can't do any of those, these updates have been accumulating for several weeks now [13:53] it just keeps failing [13:54] anyone have any idea how to fix this? [13:59] Hello, I have a problem with ubuntu installer when installing on a luks volume. The grub install fails because the GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK variable hasn't been set. Is there anyway to modify an ongoing install on the fly and echo that line to the installers /etc/default/grub ?? [14:01] You can edit it by hitting e when you have the os selected I believe [14:01] I don't think its a permanent fix though [14:01] alekblank, what would be an example of the path the ubuntu installers grub settings file use ? [14:02] alekblank, If I can somehow just temporary enter the line to make the installer work w/o grub install error. I can chroot and add to the actual files after the installer completes [14:02] ive not looked through the iso in a while lol let me see === Condor is now known as ghnou === ghnou is now known as Condor [14:03] alekblank, thanks for looking [14:03] huttan: can you start the install booted into the ISO using terminal> ubiquity -b [14:04] Ohhh, sorry I didn't read your question very well sorry [14:04] jeremy31, ah .. ubiquity -b is the equivalent of double tapping the install ubuntu file on desktop ? [14:05] huttan: that should install without installing grub bootloader [14:06] jeremy31, ohh I see .. even better. Then I manually install boot loader when the installer finishes without error [14:18] Hey guys. In GPG How can I encrypt a file using my Private-Key so that the other person can use my public key to decrypt the message? How can I do this in CLI? [14:19] can anyone suggest a type of "Light Gun" that works on Ubuntu? (something I can hook a sensor up to a screen, kind of like arcade machine shooters and duck hunt) [14:22] I am now loaded into the Ubuntu live installer but all I see is a black screen with a movable cursor (left and right buttons are unresponsive) [14:23] I can switch to a different virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-) [14:23] how can I restart the live installer from the command line? [14:24] how can I restart the live installer (test-and-install desktop environment)from the command line? [14:25] klf from terminal try> shutdown now [14:26] that's not what I want. I am going to try to restart the lightdm service now. [14:26] klf: do you have exotic hardware that the installer craps out like this? [14:28] klf: Also, consider trying a different release like 19.10 (if you can accept that). [14:29]
