vetruBlueProtoman: follow the suggested command from the output.00:14

WhitorHi All! Any Thinkpad users in here? I have a P73... The trackpoint and trackpad both worked during the first half of the install... About Halfway through, (Right before the TimeZone selection) They both stopped working.  They work fine when booting the Live CD. Using 19.10.00:22
WhitorAny ideas?00:22

Disaster_Areahiya. On 16.04 LTS, got a couple of bugs, one to do with Nautilus the file explorer, one separate. The issue with Nautilus is that for some reason Copy/Rename/a few other things are disabled in the context menu, and I have no idea how to change that. Been afflicted with that only for a few hours. For a longer time, the other issue I've had, is that even though in my User Accounts settings, Automatic Login is set to off, and my00:25
Disaster_Areaaccount is password protected, when I select Login when I start up my laptop, it does not ask me for a password and logs me in automatically. Is there anything I can do about either of these issues? Thanks00:25
dreamonBashing-om, No outputs00:27
Disaster_Areaoh think I found a solution to the second issue after some searching online00:29
Bashing-omdreamon: Yukkie ! thinking.00:29
dreamonBashing-om, ls /var/lib/dkms/ → acpi-call  dkms_dbversion  nvidia-34000:29
Bashing-omdreamon: considering - what now for 'lsmod | grep nvidia ' ?00:32
dreamonBashing-om, Id havent reboot..maybe the reason?00:32
dreamonI reboot..00:33
dreamonBashing-om, Reboot, still no output from lsmod | grep nvidia00:36
Bashing-omdreamon: Makes little sense - yet - . What results ' sudo apt install --reinstall dkms '?00:37
dreamonhe installed it.00:38

dreamonBashing-om, Think we should give up for today. its 1:43 AM.. have to go to sleep.00:43
Bashing-omdreamon: Let's say that "dkms" was also not installed (required) . Let's make sure we are dealing with X - what shows ' ps -efly | grep Xorg ' ?00:47

Bashing-omdreamon: Presently 00:51 GMT.00:51

haklukeHi all, previously I've always used the LTS releases. I recently decided to go for the latest 19.10 instead, I ran a full apt update + apt dist-upgrade. It broke a bunch of dependencies and now apt consistently fails to perform normal operations. I couldn't figure it out, so I did a full reformat and reinstalled 19.10 from scratch, and ran another apt update + apt upgrade. Now everything is broken again - when I try to login to01:35
haklukegnome I get a message that says "Oh, no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has coccured and the system can't recover, please log out and try again." And when I try to use apt, everything fails due to failed dependencies.01:35
haklukeFor example, this is the output for sudo apt install -f: https://pastebin.com/4peD1mPf01:35

iniaziHey guys, background before my question:  i have ubuntu (19.10) running on a mini pc (intel 5xx graphics or whatever).   I setup the pc on a pc monitor @ 4k30 (the monitors.xml resolution).  but login screen defaults to 4k60 (maybe 4k60i and display loked funky... but when i login it would  switch to 30hz and the display would look fine).02:13
iniazihow do i set the login resolution; and even more importantly, i'm trying to connect the pc to a 4k tv, and the login screen doesn't even show (tv says resolution not supported).   is there a way to set specific hz for login screen?02:15
iniazii've tried to set it the /etc/default/grub to 1920x1080 although I thin kthat resolution is only for grub?  grub starts up at 4k, and looks fine on the tv.  just when i select ubuntu boot in the grub menu, i don't see anything show up after and tv complains the resolution is unsupported02:16
martian67hello, i have copied all my files to a new drive, chrooted in (run/sys/dev/proc are all mounted)02:47

sazawalHi all. I have a system where the wifi is not working. I do not have an Ethernet connection to fix it. I found the deb packages needed for the wifi driver, that I can transfer using usb-drive and install in the system. But the problem is I need all the dependencies and dependencies of dependencies. This is taking too long. Is there a way to download a particular deb file and all its dependencies files?07:56
ducasse!offline07:56
ubottuIf you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD07:56
ducassesazawal: ^^07:57
sazawalducasse, The other system where I am downloading these files is a different Ubuntu version. How do I download them for the needed Ubuntu version?07:58
ducassesazawal: an easier way might be to tether your phone and download over mobile data07:58
sazawalducasse, Yes that might work. I have not used wired thethering of the phone yet. Let me see07:59
ducassesazawal: that way you don't have to worry about getting all the dependencies etc08:00
sazawalducasse, right thanks08:01
airstormhi, if I wanted to setup ubuntu on a single encrypted partition (LUKS), how would I go about doing so? I have 3 partitions on the disk - first is UEFI, 2 is Windows and 3 is free.08:15
ducasseairstorm: the installer should as you if you want encryption08:16
ducasse*ask08:16
airstormproblem is it complains about absence of a /boot partition08:17
ducassecreate one, i think it is necessary for the installer to handle things08:20
airstormyeah well... I do not wish to have a separate boot partition08:22
airstormI mean I know it's possible to install with /boot as part of the encrypted rootfs, I'm already running 2 installations like this08:23
ducasseyou can get rid of it later if you absolutely want08:23

salamanderrakeWhere is the defacto place to put all custom system variables?12:57
salamanderrake.bash_profile does not get loaded for a gui login12:57
geirhasalamanderrake: .profile12:58
salamanderrakeeverything else says .profile isn't sourced for shell logins, or will I just have to put custom vars in both files?12:58
salamanderrake.bash_profile and .profile?12:58
geirhaWhat is "everything else"?12:58
geirhaWhen you start bash in login mode, it will try to read .profile if .bash_profile and .bash_login does not exist13:00
geirhaduring graphical login, the dm runs sh, sources ~/.profile, then executes the graphical session. That's why .bash_profile isn't read during graphical login13:01
mgedminyou coul have ~/.bash_profile source ~/.profile to have a single source of environment vars13:01
geirhamight as well just move everything into .profile13:02
salamanderrakeSo I need to get rid of .bash_profile so it doesn't conflict with .profile?13:02

octav1aInstalled 18.04 for my boss. On display settings there is 100% and 200% scaling but he needs something like 150%, is there some way to enable that?15:53
lordcirth_octav1a, if you install Gnome Tweak Tool, you can get fractional scaling on fonts, at least. Is that enough, or do you need everything scaled?15:55
monr0eI don't suppose rustytaco is here?15:55
nomikeI have a ThinkPad connected to a beamer and there is a button on the internal keyboard allowing me to switch between monitors, mirroring, etc.. The issue is, that sometimes when awaking from sleep the laptop is only using the internal screen whereas it should stay in mirror mode. As I'm sitting a few feet away from it using a wireless keyboard, I have to get up the press that button.15:55
monr0eOr anyone with any mailcow experience?15:55
nomikeSo I'm trying to figure out if I could set a custom key combination for bringing up that menu which I could then press on the wireless keyboard.15:56
octav1aI recalled when I used ubuntu in the time of unity or so (~16.04 or 14.04?) there was a bar you could drag to get a bunch of values between 1.0 and 2.0. This scaled everything to look well with a 4k display. That is that I am looking for.15:56
lordcirth_!ask | monr0e15:56
ubottumonr0e: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience15:56
lordcirth_octav1a, yes, 16.04 with Unity had fractional scaling. 18.04 with Gnome, using the default Xorg, does not.15:57
octav1aWould he be able to use it if upgrading to 19.04 or 19.10?15:59
za1b1tsuSo let's say I added a user repo and install something, like kdenlive, for example. I upgrade my Ubuntu, the repo got automatically disabled, but kdenlive is still installed15:59
za1b1tsuwhat am I suppose to do here? Uninstall kdenlive, find if there is a repo for my newer Ubuntu, add that and reinstall kdenlive? Is there anyway to find out, which software I have installed with user repos? So I can do it for all my stuff16:01
coz_za1b1tsu, I assume you tried sudo apt install kdenlive? I beleive it is in the repos already16:02
=== LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus
coz_za1b1tsu, and yes kdenlive will remain installed until you un install it16:03
za1b1tsucoz, I wanted a newer versions, but it does not matter what software it is, let's call it "xyz"16:03
monr0elordcirth_: I suppose you're right. I'm a little confused about where mailcow actually sits, given it runs in a set of docker containers. Specifically, I'm looking for where MAILCOW_PATH refers to on this page: https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/firststeps-rp/16:04
za1b1tsuwhat is the "proper" procedure if you use user repos and upgrade, unisntall, add new repo, and install?16:04
lordcirth_za1b1tsu, Upgrading ubuntu with third party repositories? Usually removing the repo during the upgrade is enough, you shouldn't need to uninstall it unless it causes conflicts16:06
SimonNLnomike: do you have display setting set to use both outputs and mirror ?16:07
lordcirth_za1b1tsu, on 18.04+ you can enable experimental fractional scaling with: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['x11-randr-fractional-scaling']"16:07
lordcirth_To undo, "gsettings reset org.gnome.mutter experimental-features"16:07
nomikeSimonNL, yes, I do. But as it is expected on a laptop, the setting dynamically changes if you connect/disconnect an external monitor (e.g. you are using the laptop in an office and go to a meeting room to give a presentation). In my case I use it at home, it is permanently in a docking station and always on, but it is connected through an A/V receiver to a beamer and those two are switched off when not in use.16:11
nomikeSo I understand that ubuntu switches to internal-screen only from time to time. The question is how do I turn on screen mirroring without using the internal keyboard and without using the mouse, as I don't see screen contents (or at least they are too small to read from a distance on the internal screen).16:12
nomikeDoes the gnome-settings app use xrandr in the background or will I screw things up if I use it directly? because I could setup a shortcut for that.16:14
za1b1tsuanyway to identify which package is isntalled using user repos?16:14
SimonNLnomike: only thing I can think of is use of a wireless laptop keyboard16:14
SimonNLnomike: wich has the keys on it16:15
SimonNLwhich*16:15
nomikeThe key is different between vendors, so I don't think such a thing exists. Also the key on the internal keyboard is most likely just sending a normal scancode. I might try to figure out what that is and lookup what that triggers.16:16

codingCookiehello guys, i'm trying to install virtualbox, but i encounter some weird problems. I couldn't find a solution online, that why i'm asking in here. when a run 'sbin/vboxconfig' it says that it needs to sign kernel modules and when it is doing it it fails to enroll secure boot key and then it stop working. 'dmesg' logs, that PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key. Does anyone of you can help me16:55
codingCookiewith this?16:56
pragmaticenigmacodingCookie: How are you trying to install VirtualBox?16:59
codingCookiepragmaticenigma: Firstly i was downloading it from their webpage. Now i switched to install it through apt, virtualbox-6.017:09
RockwoodcodingCookie, what is your motive for VM on ubuntu server?17:10
pragmaticenigmaRockwood: Discussion should take place in #ubuntu-discuss... please stay with support topic17:10

codingCookieRockwood: i want to use it on my work machine to spin up a windows vm for some security testing17:14
pragmaticenigmacodingCookie: Are you certain you were able to fully remove the version that you obtained from the developers site?17:14
codingCookieright now, i'm removing everything i did17:15
Rockwooddelete all :D17:15
pragmaticenigmaI think you're currently encountering a conflict between what might have gotten installed from the developer's website and the version from apt17:16
codingCookiei think so too17:16
WulfHello! Is there something similar to https://snapshot.debian.org/ ?17:17
codingCookiepragmaticenigma: removed everything, checked apt and dpkg17:18
pragmaticenigmaWulf: Ubuntu strives for stability and security with its realeases. To the best of my knowledge there is no archive of older versions of packages maintained by Canonical or Ubuntu community. Is there something specific you are trying to do?17:22
codingCookiepragmaticenigma: i would now go again for the installation from their wbsite17:22
codingCookiewebsite*17:22
pragmaticenigmacodingCookie: The volunteers in this channel can only support the version provided through apt/software center17:22
codingCookiepragmaticenigma: i tried with apt, when i run the program it says that 'the character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exists', but i allready installed the missing packages. Could it be a problem that i have secure boot enabled?17:27

iniaziso need to reduce the refresh rate at the login screen23:29
dreamonBashing-om, cause → Is nvidia blacklisted? yes23:29
Bashing-omdreamon: "Is nvidia blacklisted? yes" so. we need to find where. Also is this an EFI system where "secure boot" must be disabled in order to install the driver ?23:30
dreamonBashing-om, its legacy mode enabled. no EFI23:30
Bashing-omdreamon: :D - ls -al /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf - here ?23:31

nikolam"cvt 1920 1080 60" gives 'Modeline' line for xrandr ; xrandr --newmode (and then paste line you get form cvt, without "Modeline") ; and then xrandr --addmode VGA-1 "1680x1050_60.00" (or what output name 'xrandr' comand gives you in the first place..23:34
nikolamWinder if there is more automated way to probe resolutions. It all started by myself simply changing VGA cable to monitor...23:35
Bashing-omdreamon: rm that file and see then what results after a reboot (lshw).23:35
nikolamIt's Intel HD 2000 at the moment, and before that some Radeon HD were in use.23:36
iniazior is there a way to reset all my x11 settings just as it would be on a new install?  when I did a an install of ubuntu originally with pc hooked up to 4k tv, it showed display fine-ish, just had to setup docker and other stuff so i was using my desktop monitor to setup the pc before i plug it into tv23:37
dreamonBashing-om, Now had no flickering..23:38
nikolaminiazi, I have just bumped to 'tasksel' command while searching. Together with 'apt-get purge' and 'apt-get install' those are most aggressive seeting it up I have found. But you might end up with no GUI if do that.23:40
dreamonBashing-om, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/6SRZgZsSdM/23:41
nikolamMight be better to find something more mild.23:41
dreamonBashing-om, but nvidia-settings is still only 3 options.23:41
sarnoldnikolam: btw there's no need for tasksel, apt can do those too, something like apt-get install lamp-server^ for example23:42
iniazinikolam, tasksel to remove and reinsatll x11 related stuff?  yeah that may work, but generally removing packages usually still keeps the config around, i think.  I want keep packages but kill the configs.23:42
nikolaminiazi, probably using 'cvt' and xrandr --newmode ; xrandr --addmode , like I did23:42
sarnoldsee the apt-get bits here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel#Command_line_arguments23:43
iniazinikolam: problem is I can't get a display so whenever i treid to run xrandr -q or whatever, it just says no display (when I ssh'd to it)... i tired to set display:0.0  but maybe something else I'm missing23:43
nikolaminiazi, isn't it what 'purge' is for, to purge all settings too?23:43
iniazioh does purge does that?  ok, i misread the description23:43
nikolaminiazi, what's your graphics?23:43

iniaziintel hd 500 or 530 (its a mini pc).  4k@30hz looks fine on my 4k monitor.  and I think if I set it on the tv it should be fine.  but I believe the login is probably using 60hz, and i'm guessing the tv doesn't support 60hz (or the intel hd is buggy... well my 4k monitor was showing a little corrupted display at login, but when i login its fine (i think it was using 4k@60i on login screen)... when I used xrandr to set 60 manually it would clear itself out.23:45
iniazion my monitor23:45
dreamonDRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep OpenGL → Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig23:46
iniazianyway, may just reinstall ubuntu; probably spent a couple of hours to figure out how to fix the display on my tv.   i probably could have just spent it to reinstall ubuntu fresh, and reinstall docker and configure it etc.23:47
iniaziactually ultimate issue is the intel hd 5xx graphics.  i think drivers or something is buggy23:48
iniazii wish they sold minipcs with cheapo nvidia graphics on it23:48
iniazior atleast when I bought the pc.  now i could order the amd minipc that was announced... and should be around in a month or so.  but more moola i have to spend23:48
Bashing-omdreamon: /var/log/gpu-manager.log ?23:49
iniazinikolam, but yeah looks like purge would reset the configs.23:49
iniazii'll have to remove the user dir config (~/.config/monitors.xml as well... )23:50
nikolaminiazi, thy cvt and xrandr to get your resolution23:50
dreamonBashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WszXz5Ph8y/ → once more23:50
iniazinikolam, let me try cvt... xrandr can't open display since I'm sshing to the ubuntu box23:51
nikolamI bet there is more automate way, but i didn't come up with other right now23:51
nikolamcvt is just for getting Modeline , so you wouldn't fry your monitor/display with bad timings.23:52
iniazioh cvt generates a modeline... ok, let me lookup that newmode command23:52
Bashing-omdreamon: Log file looks good - system seems in a happy state. Any known issues now ?23:53
dreamonBashing-om, nvidia-setting shows only 3options.. like before. but no flickering at boot time.23:55
dreamonBashing-om, Using DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo name of display: :0.0 → Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig23:56
Bashing-omdreamon: I do not run the proprietary driver; so can not relate to what the 3 options are :(23:56
