[00:08] <eamonnmr> Let me see if Mozilla's site is any good in lynx
[00:09] <Sbur3> I seem to recall that there was a program for making multiple page PDFs. Anyone remember the name of the program?
[00:22] <hatsu> how come installing qemu-kvm installs the x server and other desktop related stuff?
[00:22] <hatsu> i want to run qemu-kvm headlessly
[00:25] <hatsu> ah if i pass --no-install-recommends it gets me what i want
[00:27] <gimmel> Hi all, I thought I'd give openbox a spin. I installed through a simple apt install openbox, and I can log into it. However, the absolute basics aren't working - such as when a menu is opened, it won't close again. I've made no changes (yet).
[00:53] <melatonina> Hello. Is placing a cron tab in cron.d enough to have it taken into consideration by cron?

[01:46] <drama> hi milkt
[01:57] <hatsu> so i am trying to get my VM setup online
[01:57] <hatsu> i'm wondering if it's a bad idea to do a storage-over-lan thing
[01:58] <hatsu> like, i have a NAS attached and I have my VM image on the NAS itself
[01:58] <hatsu> i'm wondering if it's a bad idea not to have a local image and serve the image up via samba
[01:58] <pragmaticenigma> hatsu: Do you have a specific Ubuntu OS question? System organization and recommendations should be asked in #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic please
[01:58] <hatsu> :(
[02:00] <kinghat> is there an app that can cast a specific monitor to chromecast?
[02:01] <pragmaticenigma> kinghat: software recommendations, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:01] <kinghat> 👌
[02:05] <ducasse> kinghat: iirc, vlc can cast to chromecast. maybe that helps?
[02:06] <kinghat> are you able to select a monitor as the source?
[02:08] <ducasse> i don't know, sorry. there is a #videolan channel, i think
[02:08] <ducasse> no, there isn't
[02:08] <pragmaticenigma> kinghat: The only way that I am aware to cast a monitor, is to use the Google Chrome browser's built in ability to cast a screen. You can consult the documentation for Google Chrome here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3228332?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
[02:11] <kinghat> ya you can select desktop but that really only works if you have one monitor.
[02:11] <kinghat> otherwise it casts your entire desktop
[02:37] <ducasse> kinghat: you might be able to crop that
[02:38] <kinghat> i was thinking of like a capture device from vlc and using vlc to cast it somehow
[02:39] <pragmaticenigma> if a screen capture program can output realtime network streaming, vlc might be able to pick it up and cast it
[02:39] <pragmaticenigma> rather roundabout way to do it, but might work in a pinch
[02:39] <ducasse> ffmpeg might do that
[02:39] <kinghat> well vlc has capture devices but im not sure how to set it up:  https://irc.kinghat.info/uploads/ae35bff37584f7e6/image.png
[02:41] <hatsu> IIRC you can just straight up cast any arbitrary mpeg stream to chromecast
[02:42] <hatsu> but encoding an mpeg stream is quite resource intensive unfortunately
[02:42] <ducasse> kinghat: you can try their forum, https://forum.videolan.org/ - someone might have done this before
[02:42] <kinghat> i looked at a thread and nobody replied to it: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=143515
[02:45] <kinghat> dont care about resources atm
[02:45] <ducasse> you could try #ffmpeg
[02:46] <ducasse> idk if that can cast to chromecast, but it might
[02:47] <hatsu> kinghat, take a look at pychromecast
[02:47] <hatsu> it's a python library that lets you just go straight up like chromecast_object.stream(media)
[02:47] <hatsu> and it Just Werks (TM)
[02:47] <hatsu> quite incredible
[02:47] <kinghat> wonder if there is a node one
[02:50] <ducasse> looks like there are a couple from a cursory glance of search results
[02:50] <kinghat> though at this point the casting can easily be done via vlc its getting a stream of my desktop to it
[02:50] <ducasse> i'm pretty sure ffmpeg can do that
[02:51] <pragmaticenigma> or run two instances of VLC... Desktop => VLC(send) => VLC(receive) => Chromcast
[03:29] <kinghat> looks like it needs another plugin: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1023896/unable-to-capture-screen-with-vlc-on-ubuntukde-17-10
[03:30] <kinghat> also: https://itsfoss.com/vlc-pro-tricks-linux/
[03:30] <kinghat> and looks like its full desktop and not individual screen
[03:59] <ylluminate> the version of msmtp in the repos is quite old (a few years old now) currently for 18.04 and terribly, terribly out of date
[04:00] <ylluminate> who should i talk to about getting this updated?
[04:04] <akk> Looks like in 19.10 it's 1.8.3 so it's from February; a bit old but I wouldn't call that terribly terribly.
[04:04] <akk> 18.04 I would expect to be quite a bit older, that's kind of the point of using old distros.
[04:04] <akk> But maybe file a launchpad bug asking it to be updated?
[04:12] <ylluminate> since 18.04 is lts and on servers the new version, 1.8.6, is very much needed @akk
[04:12] <ylluminate> so yeah, that's what i'm working on filing here
[04:12] <OerHeks> !SRU
[04:13] <OerHeks> file an important update?
[04:13] <ylluminate> the problem is that 1.6.6 is broken in various regards and will no longer work with various ssl/tls services
[04:13] <OerHeks> jups
[04:13] <ylluminate> it's a relatively trivial update, but must be done
[04:13] <OerHeks> https://marlam.de/msmtp/news/
[04:23] <ylluminate> curious, any good tutorials on pulling together a basic init.d script for bringing up a service like msmtpd at boot?
[04:24] <ZeZu> Anyone know where the setting for printscreen key is on current kde/plasma?
[04:24] <ZeZu> It's not working for some reason
[04:25] <ZeZu> worked fine on default desktop,  and afair it normally is mapped to take a screenshot on plasma as well
[04:27] <ZeZu> thought it was in [settings] > shortcuts > global > kwin but not finding it
[04:32] <ducasse> ylluminate: might as well make a systemd service, shorter and simpler
[04:33] <ylluminate> i fiddled with this before but i must have missed something as it didn't start up properly. do you have a particularly solid tutorial that offers a good starting template?
[04:34] <ducasse> there's tons of examples on the systemd homepage at freedesktop.org
[04:34] <ducasse> guides too
[04:36] <ducasse> ylluminate: also this - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Writing_unit_files
[04:36] <ylluminate> thanks for the tips. this has been a major pain for some reason
[04:41] <ducasse> ylluminate: there's a build here, but see the notes about using at your own risk - https://launchpad.net/~sdeziel/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[04:41] <ducasse> that's 1.8.3 for bionic
[04:59] <ducasse> !imdb the matrix
[05:00] <ducasse> !help imdb
[05:00] <ducasse> sorry
[05:19] <kinghat> cool got it working
[05:19] <kinghat> OBS -> VLC -> chromecast
[05:40] <rustytaco> Good day all! Quick question i'm finding conflicting answers to -- my system is running EFI boot on an SSD. Right now i don't have swap (but i have room i can assign to it) -- i've only 4gb physical ram and would like to make kernel minimally use the swap besides for hibernation -- how to do this?
[05:41] <ducasse> just add swap and set vm.swappiness to a low value
[05:42] <rustytaco> It seems from time to time my browser will consume huge amounts of memory so i was concerned oof it swapping needlessly when it really should just get OOM'd
[05:42] <rustytaco> ducasse: sysctl?
[05:43] <ducasse> yes, /etc/sysctl.conf
[05:44] <rustytaco> ducasse: thanks
[05:50] <ducasse> no problem
[05:51] <phocking> hey i have a bash script that is hanging, can anyone take a look at it to see why?
[05:51] <ducasse> pastebin it
[05:57] <phocking> https://gist.github.com/phillhocking/ba4506f12e6cf9b6522e93132f9c7d91
[05:57] <phocking> i think the problem is the tee
[05:58] <ducasse> put 'set -x' at the top of your script and run it to see where it hangs
[06:01] <ducasse> you need to feed tee something
[06:27] <ducasse> phocking: try 'echo "deb http://www.ui.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt-unifi.list'
[06:44] <ChronDon> *sigh* updated bios still cant boot legacy
[06:45] <ChronDon> every time I try it says pick a valid boot device and restart
[06:47] <phocking> ducasse: thanks!
[06:48] <RadSurfer_> I am trying to install Freebasic 32-bit in Ubuntu 19.02 and its complaining of libtinfo.so.5, none of what I've read has solved the problem. SOMEONE I hope knows what to do here :)
[07:03] <guiverc> Ubuntu 19.02?  There was no release of Ubuntu in 2019-February RadSurfer_
[07:03] <RadSurfer_> latest 19.x
[07:03] <RadSurfer_> point is, how do I solve this libtinfo.so.5 thing?
[07:04] <RadSurfer_> some posts suggest some sort of symlink, but that is not working for me...
[07:04] <guiverc> the release info would be a start
[07:04] <RadSurfer_> how to check it?
[07:04] <guiverc> We don't support Linux Mint which does have a 19.2
[07:04] <RadSurfer_> This is Ubuntu 19.x
[07:05] <RadSurfer_> surely theres a command to check/verify version
[07:05] <guiverc> `lsb-release -a` will give details
[07:06] <RadSurfer_> no such command
[07:06] <sxpert> latest ubuntu is 19.10
[07:06] <RadSurfer_> then thats what I have installed! 64-bit
[07:06] <RadSurfer_> I thought uname used to give more details
[07:07] <guiverc> I think you need https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/libtinfo5  (64 bit doesn't tell me anything; 64bit x86_64/amd64 or 64bit arm, or 64bit...)
[07:07] <guiverc> `sudo apt install libtinfo5`  which is available for arm64, amd64, s390x, ppc64el etc
[07:08] <RadSurfer_> it's already installed!
[07:08] <RadSurfer_> application can't find it; its somehow connected with ncurses
[07:08] <guiverc> Your system should already have `lsb_release` too, but you don't seem to know what you're running, I wonder myself
[07:09] <RadSurfer_> correct command to suggest/recommend is actually :: hostnamectl
[07:10] <RadSurfer_>   Operating System: Ubuntu 19.10
[07:10] <RadSurfer_>             Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-24-generic
[07:11] <guiverc> `ldconfig -v` will show what libs are detected; are you trying to compile somethign with that library?\
[07:11] <RadSurfer_> still doesn't help me resolve getting FreeBASIC to recognize this silly .so it requires
[07:12] <guiverc> It's possible that you need https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/libtinfo-dev  (-dev package; which is also provided by libncurses-dev - ie. you might need that installed)
[07:12] <rustytaco> ducasse: little bit of ffuss later, hibernate works. Cheers~!
[07:13] <RadSurfer_> I may have to wait until morning/afternoon, when someone else using FreeBASIC might know what's going on.
[07:57] <monr0e> So apparently ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS is a little easier to configure postfix and courier on. Is it recent enough to be patched against the likes of heartbleed, and when was it's last security update? I'm a little wary of using it but it's just a home server for now
[07:58] <sxpert> the problem is systemd ;)
[07:58] <monr0e> Come again?
[08:08] <ChiLLabiS> Haha sxpert ! :)
[08:08] <ChiLLabiS> monr0e: Isn't 16.04 EOL?
[08:09] <ChiLLabiS> !eol
[08:13] <monr0e> ChiLLabiS: I believe so. I was just hoping it got the update against heartbleed before it went EoL. I need to see if I can configure postfix to properly work on it, then maybe I can migrate to 18 once I understand the differences between the two. Since it's just a home server, being EoL is not as concerning as if it were a prod system.
[08:14] <monr0e> I've been trying for a good two weeks to make 18 work :(
[08:15] <rustytaco> time for a new postfix config sounds like :P
[08:16] <monr0e> I wish I was skilled enough to do so. I'm pretty much fresh from Microsoft, and whilst I did manage to get postfix operational on a Pi it just wasn't capable enough to run AV on top
[08:17] <monr0e> Also I couldn't get outlook to play nice with raw postfix, which is why I wanted Ubuntu for courier
[08:17] <monr0e> Courier is, I believe, the issue at the moment
[08:24] <rustytaco> monr0e: Might i suggest giving mailcow a look? It's a nice little docker based setup that's easy to admin.
[08:24] <rustytaco> sleeptime!
[08:24] <monr0e> rustytaco: ass opposed to postfix, or courier?
[08:25] <monr0e> oh
[08:40] <acetakwas> I have just installed Ubuntu on a newly purchased system.
[08:40] <acetakwas> The Wi-Fi does not work.
[08:40] <acetakwas> How can I find out if the Wifi hardware is present?
[08:41] <acetakwas> I don't usually run into driver issues, because it has always worked out of the box for my previous setups.
[08:43] <CarlenWhite> Is there some kind of intended feature in print jobs to a cups server to kill the connection when submitting a job after 15 seconds?
[08:45] <CarlenWhite> I have an old printer I poking with that has a small buffer and slow printing speed, but according to what I'm seeing in the spec for cups it should store the job then attempt to print it.
[08:54] <blue_pearl> acetakwas is lspci not giving you the wifi card details ?
[08:55] <triad> hej people
[08:56] <triad> is there a way from command line to set ubuntu to suspend when it's on battery , especially lower than 10%
[09:15] <gimmel> Hi all, I thought I'd give openbox a spin. I installed through a simple apt install openbox, and I can log into it. However, the absolute basics aren't working - such as when a menu is opened, it won't close again. I've made no changes to the default config (yet). Any suggestions?
[09:27] <angryant> I am trying to remap key combos in 18.04 and have been looking into XKB for this. However it does not seem well suited for my case, so I was wondering if anyone had advice on this. The type of remap I would want to do could for instance be Shift+Ctrl+F17 -> Ctrl+A.
[09:53] <angryant> EX: This is my .xbindkeysrc attempt to make it happen: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/W3xtSTvt78/
[09:53] <angryant> No effect and the xbindkeys setup in general runs, given that my mouse button remaps function flawlessly.
[11:22] <StephenLynx> anyone else having issues with nvidia cards?
[11:22] <StephenLynx> I think mine was causing my system to freeze. I ran a update + distro-sync and now it can't even get any resolution but 480p after a reboot
[11:23] <StephenLynx> mine is a 720 or 750, can't remember
[11:27] <tatertots> StephenLynx: is it still freezing after the update?
[11:27] <StephenLynx> i didn't check for that.
[11:28] <StephenLynx> now, it seems oddly similar to this https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1063389/linux/ubuntu-18-04-completely-freezes-after-a-few-minutes-of-being-booted/
[11:28] <StephenLynx> I just disabled it after I couldn't get resolutions.
[11:29] <StephenLynx> I turned off it's power and switched to onboard, no freezes yet.
[11:29] <StephenLynx> it would freeze if I had my browser open. I could run a terminal for as long as I wanted and it wouldn't freeze.
[11:30] <tatertots> well now you've had one problem and now another stacked on after the first..do you have a action plan?
[11:31] <StephenLynx> Do I look like a guy with a plan?
[11:31] <StephenLynx> :v
[11:31] <tatertots> lol
[11:31] <StephenLynx> a dude mentions on that thread a bios update
[11:32] <tatertots> you're using intel graphics now so you never confirmed or validated if the first symptoms persisted
[11:32] <StephenLynx> I know.
[11:32] <tatertots> but you got a new symptom now with resolutions
[11:32] <tatertots> so which battle are you going to fight?
[11:32] <StephenLynx> i dunno man. it seems their drivers are botched currently.
[11:32] <StephenLynx> again.
[11:32] <tatertots> or fight first
[11:33] <tatertots> ALL their drivers?...or just the version(s) you were using when the symptom occurred ?
[11:33] <StephenLynx> some version, from what that thread tells me.
[11:33] <tatertots> surely if it was ALL their drivers the entire world would be up in arms with issues
[11:34] <tatertots> those small details may be important
[11:34] <tatertots> I hope you are keeping notes of some sort
[11:34] <StephenLynx> hm. makes sense.
[11:34] <StephenLynx> ill try updating the bios
[11:35] <StephenLynx> it's been going on for too long now.

[14:57] <chull> well, ok 2. was it's 18.04. I need help?
[15:03] <ducasse> i've never seen such a command, so i'm not sure what you mean.
[15:10] <BluesKaj> video cards are hardware...maybe he means which drivers support his gpu

[16:19] <__marco> Hello. I am using an Ubuntu Docker image as a building machine. Before running any job I update the OS via apt-get. For bionic and disco the update finishes smoothly but when I update eoan, the package tzdata asks for some input from the user to chose the geographic area. How can I say to dpkg-reconfigure (or whatever is running at that moment) to not ask for any input and maybe also to set up some sensible answer?
[16:19] <leftyfb> RadSurfer_: find -type l
[16:20] <RadSurfer_> what?
[16:20] <__marco> I think it is debconf, not dpkg-reconfigure
[16:20] <__marco> debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
[16:20] <__marco> Please select the geographic area in which you live. Subsequent configuration... etc.
[16:20] <leftyfb> RadSurfer_: what exactly are you asking for?

[17:20] <Rockwood> what command for it?
[17:21] <Rockwood> rypervenche,
[17:22] <Ether_Man> Hey. So I was wondering. If I replace the binaries of some installed packages. Would that cause any issues directly? (provided the replacement works and such ofc). And what happens when those packages need updating. Will it just overwrite the binaries or will it start complaining about no longer matching or something like that?
[17:22] <rypervenche> Check: ssh-keygen -p -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
[17:22] <rypervenche> Or whatever the path to your private key is.
[17:22] <pragmaticenigma> Ether_Man: That would make your system unsupported in this channel. You should never replace the binaries or any files that are provided through a package repository.
[17:23] <pragmaticenigma> Ether_Man: It might help to know what you are trying to do, as there is very likely a safer alternative
[17:23] <LaurentDumont> You can use whatever source for the package. You can also mark the package as "held" within APT.
[17:23] <Rockwood> git@bitbucket.org: Permission denied (publickey).
[17:23] <Rockwood> fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
[17:24] <Rockwood> why?
[17:24] <LaurentDumont> Which means it won't be upgraded anymore through the system.
[17:24] <Rockwood> rypervenche, ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org is working fine for me
[17:25] <jeblad> Seems like a buggy update was rolled out late yesterday. It hits the window mangager, and the window decoration becomes unresponsive. Sometimes everything is unresponsive. Any quick fix?
[17:25] <rypervenche> Rockwood: What's NOT working for you then?
[17:25] <Ether_Man> pragmaticenigma: well I understand it would become unsupported though I figured I'd ask about how it would react. The reason I'm asking is because I need features from Docker.io that's currently only available by replacing the docker bins with nightly build ones for docker.io itself, and some more custom ones for the cli tools. Specifically in regards to capabilities in Swarm mode
[17:25] <Rockwood> rypervenche, i am unable to clone my project from git
[17:26] <Rockwood> its connecting successfully at time this command "ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org
[17:26] <Rockwood> "
[17:26] <Rockwood> rypervenche,
[17:27] <jeblad> Rockwood, check if you use the correct protocol.
[17:27] <rypervenche> Rockwood: Do you have an entry in your ~/.ssh/config file? Also, what is the command you are using for your git clone command?
[17:27] <adrian_1908> Ether_Man: Do the nightlies contain everything? If so, you could instead uninstall the apt one and set up your nightly binaries manually, e.g. in /opt
[17:28] <adrian_1908> Overwriting the existing binaries is not a good idea, as p.e. said
[17:28] <jeblad> If you want to clone for a docker image you should use https, as you don't have a valid account for ssh (aka git@…)
[17:28] <pragmaticenigma> Ether_Man: I would recommend uninstalling the Ubuntu managed ones and installing using the docker.io installers. When using docker.io supplied binaries, they should install to /usr/local/bin and stuff, to avoid conflicting with any of the Ubuntu managed packages
[17:29] <Ether_Man> adrian_1908: they don't. At least I don't think so. https://master.dockerproject.org/ lists all the files to replace and that doesn't seem to be all.
[17:29] <Rockwood> jeblad, rypervenche sudo git clone git@bitbucket.org:robdehart/criminalimpulse.git i am using for clone
[17:30] <Ether_Man> pragmaticenigma: they're not docker.io supplied binaries though. Due to them being bought up recently their releases are on hold.
[17:31] <rypervenche> Rockwood: Why are you using sudo? When you use sudo you are using the root user's home directory and its ~/.ssh directory.
[17:31] <pragmaticenigma> Ether_Man: My recommendation is do not manually replace the Ubuntu package managed binaries... If anything else shares those libraries, it will become unstable or fail to launch. (I foolishly did this with Python and several Ubuntu programs no longer work)
[17:32] <Rockwood> rypervenche, git clone git@bitbucket.org:robdehart/criminalimpulse.git fatal: could not create work tree dir 'criminalimpulse': Permission denied
[17:34] <Ether_Man> pragmaticenigma: cheers. Will see how I do it then :)
[17:34] <Rockwood> rypervenche, its not ve permission
[17:43] <Rockwood> rypervenche, so what should be next?
[17:48] <rypervenche> Rockwood: Sounds like you're trying to clone the repo into a directory that you don't have the proper permissions in.
[17:49] <Rockwood> rypervenche, is a good way to give full permission to html folder
[17:49] <Rockwood> ?
[17:50] <rypervenche> Rockwood: Personally, I would clone it as your user, and then with sudo copy the directory into your html folder.
[17:52] <rypervenche> So some place in your normal user's home dir, and then sudo cp -r that dir into your /var/www/html/ directory or wherever you have it set. You may still need to set your permissions correctly afterward, something like sudo chown -R www-data: /var/www/html
[18:55] <Osmodivs> Hello. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.3 (uname -a
[18:55] <Osmodivs> Linux Djiin-Mk-IV 5.0.0-37-generic #40~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 14 12:06:39 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:55] <Osmodivs> ) I want to use a HUION 610 Pro tablet on my system but in order to make it work I need to install the "linux-headers-3.13.0-29-generic" in doing so, isin't that gonna overide my current kernel?
[19:15] <leftyfb> Osmodivs: yes, and it's a VERY outdated kernel that shouldn't be used anymore. That kernel was last seen on Ubuntu 12.04 which went unsupported over 2 years ago.
[19:26] <Osmodivs> leftyfb: So, what do you suggest?
[19:26] <Osmodivs> I really need this tablet to work
[19:27] <leftyfb> Osmodivs: contact the company for support. Or run an outdated and unsupport kernel just a tablet
[19:27] <Osmodivs> company does not support linux...
[19:27] <Osmodivs> :(
[19:28] <ioria> Osmodivs, i have no experience with tablets, but we can try something:  paste  'usb-devices | nc termbin.com 9999'
[19:28] <Osmodivs> https://termbin.com/wlnco
[19:29] <ioria> Osmodivs, seems usbhid is loaded, not sure is right
[19:31] <Osmodivs> ioria: Like, not sure if it's loaded correctly?
[19:31] <ioria> Osmodivs, nope, maybe it not the correct module for that devie :  paste 'lsmod | nc termbin.com 9999'
[19:31] <ioria> *it's
[19:32] <Osmodivs> ioria: https://termbin.com/7vap
[19:34] <ioria> Osmodivs, sudo modprobe -r hid_uclogic
[19:35] <Osmodivs> ioria: no output
[19:35] <ioria> Osmodivs, sudo modprobe -v  hid_uclogic
[19:35] <Osmodivs> ioria: insmod /lib/modules/5.0.0-37-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-uclogic.ko
[19:35] <ioria> Osmodivs, yes, and works something ?
[19:37] <Osmodivs> ioria: it just turns the light on the tablet, nothing more
[19:39] <ioria> Osmodivs, 'dpkg -l | grep linux-module | nc termbin.com 9999'
[19:40] <Osmodivs> ioria: https://termbin.com/jkgh
[19:42] <ioria> Osmodivs,  we can try to remove usbhid and reload hid_uclogic; but you'll lose control of some devices that use  usbhid
[19:42] <Osmodivs> ioria: like what other devices?
[19:43] <ioria> Osmodivs, Logitech , SIGMACHIP ...
[19:44] <ioria> Osmodivs, you can simply relaod it btw, it's just for test
[19:44] <Osmodivs> that's my wireless keyboard...
[19:44] <Osmodivs> ioria: reloading sounds safer
[19:44] <Osmodivs> :)
[19:44] <ioria> Osmodivs, ah, ok
[19:44] <Osmodivs> how do I reload?
[19:44] <ioria> Osmodivs, nope, not if it's the keyboard
[19:45] <pfirsich> hello! is it possible I am not booting Ubuntu through grub? I have a timeout of 0, but even if I hold shift when ubuntu is booting, I don't see a grub boot menu
[19:45] <ioria> Osmodivs, nvm that; read this : https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers
[19:46] <Osmodivs> ioria: let me try that
[19:55] <Osmodivs> ioria: it worked
[19:55] <Osmodivs> thx
[19:55] <Osmodivs> :)
[19:55] <ioria> Osmodivs, very good job
[20:47] <RadSurfer_> SHOULD anyone be trying to get FreeBASIC 32bit to work under Ubuntu 19.10(64) I now know what is required!
[20:47] <ioria> RadSurfer_, and why 32 bit ?
[20:47] <RadSurfer_> because it is popular with FreeBASIC users.
[20:48] <ioria> RadSurfer_ then you'll need all the 32bit dependencies
[20:48] <RadSurfer_> It's actually quite simple, and it a tad more than that.
[20:49] <ioria> RadSurfer_, so what's the problem ?
[20:49] <RadSurfer_> under ubuntu :386 apparently means "32-bit"
[20:50] <ioria> you mean 'i386'
[20:50] <RadSurfer_> I stand corrected, yes.
[20:51] <RadSurfer_> ioria :: http://dpaste.com/0CRETGR
[20:53] <ioria> RadSurfer_, yes, sounds correct afaik
[20:54] <RadSurfer_> Now we know :)
[20:54] <RadSurfer_> no silly tampering with sym-link stuff.
[20:55] <ioria> RadSurfer_, you just read the readme.txt  included in the .tar
[20:55] <RadSurfer_> actually, it makes NO MENTION of manually installing info5:i386
[20:56] <RadSurfer_> or that you must explicitly supply -i /home/<user>  path
[20:57] <RadSurfer_> perhaps it is implied by studying install.sh, but not otherwise
[20:57] <ioria> RadSurfer_,  i think because libtinfo5  is provided as dep by libncurses
[20:57] <RadSurfer_> not 32-bit by default, no. apparently.
[20:57] <ioria> maybe
[20:57] <RadSurfer_> ubuntu keeps things in /usr/lib32
[20:58] <OnkelTem> Hi all. Folks, I'm connecting an external device as a Microphone, but it doesn't appear in the list of available devices. What is worse - sometimes it works, sometime doesn't. I replaced 3 cables but it hasn't resolved the issue. Also I tried the last cable with Windows and Mic works just perfectly
[20:58] <OnkelTem> Any ideas>
[20:58] <OnkelTem> >
[20:58] <OnkelTem> ? damn this new kbd
[22:04] <dreamon> hallo. Ubuntu 18.04. i installed automatic drivers with "additional-driver" and it showed me nvidia-340 to be installed. but thats the wrong driver for my graphic card.
[22:05] <dreamon> I need nvidia390. is it possible to set the right one?
[22:14] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Pastebin  ' sudo lshw -C display ' to confirm the correct driver to install.
[22:17] <sylvain-2205> hello everyone i have problems using simple-scan : it doesn't detect my scanner. I have an EPSON WF-2750 series. it seems that libsane is not installed properly after checking ubuntu forums. Could someone help me ? Thanks for reading my message. Sylvain
[22:25] <Pazooza> I learned a long time ago it's best to stick to HP printers with linux. Then you can use the scan tool in HP Toolbox.
[22:27] <Bashing-om> !pastebin | dreamon
[22:32] <dreamon> Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/63BtjM5fkv/
[22:34] <Bashing-om> dreamon: checking.
[22:39] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Confirmed that the card will take the 390 version driver, What release are you on ?
[22:40] <dreamon> Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
[22:41] <dreamon> but sudo ubuntu-drivers list → nvidia-340 it want to install 340 instead of 390
[22:43] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Hummm 'apt list nvidia-driver-390' says the driver is there in the repo. As I do not do GUI, want to try from terminal to install the 390 version driver?
[22:43] <dreamon> I used a ppa to install nvidia-390 but I was lost, tring to get work with prime-select. But could install without any errors
[22:43] <OerHeks> good driver for that card, why do you think 390 will do better?
[22:43] <dreamon> nvidia-340 installing ran in a lot of error messages
[22:44] <OerHeks> .. why a driver ppa, that card is not that new
[22:44] <dreamon> Bashing-om, yes..
[22:44] <Bashing-om> dreamon: pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' see then if we can get a handle on what is not going on.
[22:45] <dreamon> sry. I try this since years an tried anything I could
[22:45] <dreamon> Bashing-om, let me remove my ppa..
[22:46] <sylvain-2205> hello everyone. i have problems using simple-scan : it doesn't detect my scanner. I have an EPSON WF-2750 series. it seems that libsane is not installed properly after checking ubuntu forums. Could someone help me ? Thanks for reading my message. Sylvain
[22:46] <dreamon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YGrqykgV23/
[22:48] <dreamon> Bashing-om, I used a ppa cause I couldnt install 390 from normal repos.
[22:50] <dreamon> I think best way is to tell ubuntu to use 390 instead of 340? someone did a mistake by choosing needed driver.
[22:52] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Presently you show the 390 driver partially installed while there are also configfiles remaining from the 340 version, I suggest we purge all and re-install the driver.
[22:54] <dreamon> Bashing-om, pse help me, to do this. I sure I made lot of mistakes.
[22:55] <sylvain-2205> #Bashing-om hello
[22:57] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Sure - help is what we do :) Let's start by seeing the configfiles. ls -al /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ; ls -al /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.
[22:57] <Bashing-om> sylvain-2205: Hey hewy :D
[23:01] <dreamon> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/jJJmGCrcHf/
[23:01] <OerHeks> epson gives image scan v3 downloads ? http://support.epson.net/linux/en/imagescanv3.php
[23:02] <dreamon> I remove the nvidia.conf and intel.conf one last time..sorry
[23:06] <sylvain-2205> OerHeks Yes but it has worked previously with simple scan and i want it to work
[23:06] <Bashing-om> dreamon: OK then we can try ' sudo apt --purge remove nvidia* ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . Reboot to see the effect.
[23:07] <dreamon> Bashing-om, But ubuntu-drivers autoinstall will install 340
[23:08] <dreamon> sudo apt --purge remvoe nvidia* → zsh: no matches found: nvidia*
[23:09] <Bashing-om> dreamon: If it does then there is a package management issue we will need to address. As the latest driver "should" be installed.
[23:10] <dreamon> ok. its running and it installs 340.. i will post resule
[23:12] <dreamon> installation failed with errors.. https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/zzRbB6syXt/
[23:13] <OerHeks> sylvain-2205, remove/rename ~/.cache/simple-scan and reconnect again?
[23:13] <dreamon> Bashing-om, should I reboot anyway?
[23:13] <Bashing-om> dreamon: looking.
[23:18] <dreamon> installing 390 works without issue, I remember
[23:20] <Bashing-om> dreamon: There are unresolved issues:( .. what shows ' sudo dkms status ' and ' dpkg -l | grep linux-' ?
[23:21] <dreamon> Bashing-om, did I told you, this is a optimus graphic card in a lenovo laptop
[23:22] <Bashing-om> dreamon: We;; - I assumed as such from the lshw output :)
[23:23] <dreamon> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/bHyT6Dpxxr/
[23:24] <dreamon> Bashing-om, do you think 340 is the right one?
[23:32] <Bashing-om> dreamon: 340 may indeed work - but Nvidia does recommend the 390 driver. The question now is the status of "dkms" ? What shows ' lsmod | grep nvidia ' ?
[23:33] <dreamon> Bashing-om, no output
[23:33] <OerHeks> 340 is also the legacy driver.
[23:34] <sylvain-2205> OerHeks i tried what you told me and sent you a feedback in private
[23:35] <Bashing-om> dreamon: 340 may indeed work - but Nvidia does recommend the 390 driver. The question now is the status of "dkms" ? What shows ' lsmod | grep nvidia ' ?
[23:35] <Bashing-om> Oppps dreamon :(
[23:36] <Bashing-om> !info ubuntu-drivers-common bionic
[23:37] <Bashing-om> dreamon: what shows on your system ' dpkg -l ubuntu-drivers-common ' .
[23:37] <dreamon> Bashing-om, It wasnt installed. I did now!
[23:40] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Purge nvidia once more - maybe good too to get rid of all that kernel cruft - carefully ' sudo apt --purge autoremove ' ----- *IF* you are currently booting 4.15.0-72-generic .
[23:42] <dreamon> uname -a → Linux mydreamon 4.15.0-72-generic
[23:43] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Now it romoved → libcuda1-340* nvidia-kernel-common-390* nvidia-settings* screen-resolution-extra*
[23:44] <dreamon> Bashing-om, should I retry? → sudo apt --purge remove nvidia* ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[23:50] <dreamon> Bashing-om, It looks better → https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/qNgbvCZZQJ/ But line 43 → dpkg: error: Version »-« wrong Syntax: Revisionsnummer is empty
[23:52] <dreamon> can we ignore this?
[23:52] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Or reboot?
[23:52] <Bashing-om> dreamon: looking :)
[23:58] <sylvain-2205> i find no real help for my issue with simple scan OerHeks no more answers me
