[00:01] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Still here?
[00:07] <sylvain-2205> can someone help me to make simple scan work ?
[00:10] <Bashing-om> dreamon: "DKMS: install completed." :D - so, now what shows ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ?
[00:11] <BlueProtoman> I'm trying to upgrade some software on Ubuntu 19.10, but I get this error. https://pastebin.com/H85N6H80 The file size seems to be different than promised. Any tips?
[00:11] <dreamon> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/jrvpKq56qN/
[00:14] <vetru> BlueProtoman: follow the suggested command from the output.
[00:15] <vetru> BlueProtoman: You may need to run `apt-get update` in order for apt to point to the correct mirrors/repositories.
[00:16] <vetru> BlueProtoman: And or --fix-missing
[00:17] <vetru> actually i dont care about ubuntu
[00:17] <vetru> by
[00:17] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Humm -checking some things. Unknown why there remians 340 version files :(
[00:22] <Whitor> Hi 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] <Whitor> Any ideas?
[00:24] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Bunches I no longer understand recently. Let's see what we can learn; what results: for i in /var/lib/dkms/*/[^k]*/source; do [ -e "$i" ] || echo "$i";done
[00:25] <Disaster_Area> hiya. 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 my
[00:25] <Disaster_Area> account 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? Thanks
[00:27] <dreamon> Bashing-om, No outputs
[00:29] <Disaster_Area> oh think I found a solution to the second issue after some searching online
[00:29] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Yukkie ! thinking.
[00:29] <dreamon> Bashing-om, ls /var/lib/dkms/ → acpi-call  dkms_dbversion  nvidia-340
[00:32] <Bashing-om> dreamon: considering - what now for 'lsmod | grep nvidia ' ?
[00:32] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Id havent reboot..maybe the reason?
[00:33] <dreamon> I reboot..
[00:36] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Reboot, still no output from lsmod | grep nvidia
[00:37] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Makes little sense - yet - . What results ' sudo apt install --reinstall dkms '?
[00:38] <dreamon> he installed it.
[00:39] <AngelKde> Client: HexChat 2.14.2 • OS: ArchLinux • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz (2,61GHz) • Memory: 7,5 GiB Total (6,4 GiB Free) • Storage: 22,7 GB / 250,7 GB (228,0 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] @ Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers • Uptime: 11m 33s
[00:41] <Disaster_Area> and seemed to have found a fix for my other issue i'll leave now
[00:43] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Think we should give up for today. its 1:43 AM.. have to go to sleep.
[00:47] <Bashing-om> dreamon: 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 ' ?
[00:48] <dreamon> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/GBsX4BRwmN/
[00:50] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Yup that is indeed X. OK we can pick this back up tomorrow evening my time :)
[00:50] <dreamon> Bashing-om, what time do you have?
[00:51] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Presently 00:51 GMT.
[00:52] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Fine..  :)  Ok lets try tomorrow. Thank you and good night
[00:52] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Same :D
[01:35] <hakluke> Hi 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 to
[01:35] <hakluke> gnome 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] <hakluke> For example, this is the output for sudo apt install -f: https://pastebin.com/4peD1mPf
[01:36] <hakluke> If anyone has any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this, I'd be very grateful!
[02:02] <Bashing-om> hakluke: what shows ' apt policy busybox-static ' ?
[02:08] <hakluke> Hey @Bashing-om :
[02:08] <hakluke> $ apt policy busybox-static
[02:08] <hakluke> busybox-static:
[02:08] <hakluke>   Installed: (none)

[02:13] <iniazi> Hey 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).
[02:15] <iniazi> how 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?
[02:16] <iniazi> i'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 unsupported
[02:47] <martian67> hello, i have copied all my files to a new drive, chrooted in (run/sys/dev/proc are all mounted)
[02:47] <martian67> ran grub-install, which succeeded fine
[02:47] <martian67> however, update-grub is just detecting the old install on the old drive
[02:48] <martian67> its not detecting the new install on the new drive at all
[02:48] <martian67> what should i do
[03:02] <iujgh> why did ubuntu stop allowing an encrypted home directory?
[03:29] <iniazi> martian67, when you ran grub-install, was the old drive still installed; whenever I've restored grub, i usually have only one drive (i.e. the one I want to restore) and boot via install cd/flashdrive and then chroot & grubinstall
[03:30] <iniazi> although i don't know much about update-grub etc.
[05:29] <guiverc> iujgh, an encrypted is not disallowed; I have it now on 20.04; it was removed from the install options yes; not not disallowed
[05:31] <iujgh> but why remove the tool for that?
[06:47] <fosser_josh> since last update on ubuntu 18.04.3. My secondary monitor is non detectable. How to resolve this issue?
[06:59] <fosser_josh> how can i detect secondary monitor?
[07:03] <Wulf> Hello! Is there something similar to https://snapshot.debian.org/ ?
[07:37] <CarlFK> thinkpad, display is now upsde down because t thins it is in tablet mode.  is there a command or g to un-roate it?
[07:56] <sazawal> Hi 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> !offline
[07:57] <ducasse> sazawal: ^^
[07:58] <sazawal> ducasse, 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] <ducasse> sazawal: an easier way might be to tether your phone and download over mobile data
[07:59] <sazawal> ducasse, Yes that might work. I have not used wired thethering of the phone yet. Let me see
[08:00] <ducasse> sazawal: that way you don't have to worry about getting all the dependencies etc
[08:01] <sazawal> ducasse, right thanks
[08:15] <airstorm> hi, 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.
[08:16] <ducasse> airstorm: the installer should as you if you want encryption
[08:16] <ducasse> *ask
[08:17] <airstorm> problem is it complains about absence of a /boot partition
[08:20] <ducasse> create one, i think it is necessary for the installer to handle things
[08:22] <airstorm> yeah well... I do not wish to have a separate boot partition
[08:23] <airstorm> I mean I know it's possible to install with /boot as part of the encrypted rootfs, I'm already running 2 installations like this
[08:23] <ducasse> you can get rid of it later if you absolutely want
[08:24] <airstorm> Calamares did offer the oprion, but ubiquity doesn't
[08:24] <airstorm> option*
[08:25] <ducasse> afaik you're right, it doesn't

[09:09] <disciple> hello
[09:09] <disciple> anyone know how to get built in ac9260 wifi working on ubuntu 18.04
[09:11] <escanor> hi guys
[09:16] <OerHeks> seems like you need kernel 5.0.0.15 or up, so install HWE on bionic? or go back to 19.10
[09:16] <OerHeks> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832087
[09:16] <OerHeks> !hwe
[09:18] <disciple> im on ubuntu 18.04 with kernel Linux Athena 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
[09:18] <disciple> it recognized my wifi after first install now it doesnt
[09:19] <disciple> any way to install drivers for built in wifi ac9260?
[09:21] <OerHeks> why installing as it has recognised, i think there might be an other issue
[09:22] <OerHeks> like installing on usb, maybe there is UEFI bios involved?
[09:23] <disciple> i boot it using uefi
[09:23] <disciple> when i make a 19 live usb the wifi works every time
[09:23] <OerHeks> disable fastboot and secureboot?
[09:24] <disciple> fastboot is already off i dunno about secureboot
[09:24] <disciple> but when i run ubu 19 it does wifi just fine
[09:24] <disciple> with no config
[09:25] <disciple> i wish i could use linux full time but i cant cause it just doesnt wanna work
[09:26] <OerHeks> well that bugreport said so too, newer kernel on 18.04 or go with 19.10
[09:33] <escanor> Guys any updates on my issues :)

[12:41] <Kartha> thanks, I'll never ever try that
[12:41] <coz_> okie dokie
[12:41] <escanor> Hi
[12:42] <Kartha> Hi escanor
[12:42] <escanor> Guys am i registered to this channel?
[12:42] <escanor> I thought my messages are not being heard since no reply😆
[12:43] <escanor> Kartha: Hello
[12:43] <escanor> Do you have any idea about the issue
[12:43] <escanor> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/m5NipHWT/Issue%20image.jpeg
[12:44] <Kartha> escanor did you try restarting the device
[12:45] <escanor> Problem started after thar
[12:45] <escanor> I ran some command and my terminal was not working i was redirected to xterm
[12:45] <escanor> And when i install ed and restarted the terminal the issue started coming
[12:47] <Kartha> escanor https://askubuntu.com/questions/771899/pcie-bus-error-severity-corrected
[12:49] <escanor> : The issue started when i removed python 2.7 from my virtual environment
[12:49] <escanor> Will try and let u know
[12:57] <salamanderrake> Where is the defacto place to put all custom system variables?
[12:57] <salamanderrake> .bash_profile does not get loaded for a gui login
[12:58] <geirha> salamanderrake: .profile
[12:58] <salamanderrake> everything 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] <geirha> What is "everything else"?
[13:00] <geirha> When you start bash in login mode, it will try to read .profile if .bash_profile and .bash_login does not exist
[13:01] <geirha> during graphical login, the dm runs sh, sources ~/.profile, then executes the graphical session. That's why .bash_profile isn't read during graphical login
[13:01] <mgedmin> you coul have ~/.bash_profile source ~/.profile to have a single source of environment vars
[13:02] <geirha> might as well just move everything into .profile
[13:02] <salamanderrake> So I need to get rid of .bash_profile so it doesn't conflict with .profile?
[13:03] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:03] <geirha> you don't need to, but that's the simplest solution
[13:28] <maarhart> hi, I connected to computer foo via ssh and used gnu screen to run a command. Will running gnome-shell --replace in computer foo kill that command?
[13:30] <mgedmin> it should not
[13:32] <benjaoming> geirha: thanks, using sasl solved the issue -- I still think that the bot for #ubuntu-unregged is misconfigured.. sending this message once is enough.. not every minute :)
[13:32] <maarhart> thanks mgedmin
[13:34] <escanor> I tried making the folloiwing changes but it does not work
[13:34] <escanor> https://askubuntu.com/questions/771899/pcie-bus-error-severity-corrected
[13:34] <escanor> Error message for reference: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/m5NipHWT/Issue%20image.jpeg
[13:38] <maarhart> I tried gnome-shell --replace but I get unable to initialize cluster: unable to open display ':0'
[13:39] <ioria> maarhart, you probably need to set display :  'DISPLAY=:0'   (but not sure that cmd will do what you want)
[13:40] <yids> maarhart: do you want to connect back to the screen where u ran the  command?
[13:40] <salamanderrake> geirha: yup, that worked, thanks.
[13:42] <escanor> test
[13:44] <maarhart> yids: I connected to computer B via ssh + screen. Then this computer B had, I guess, some gnome-shell issues (keyboard not really responding, etc.). So I am here with computer B and trying to do gnome-screen --replace
[13:45] <yids> gnome-shell has nothing to do with screen
[13:45] <yids> if you want to reconnect to your screen you can do 'screen -dr'
[13:46] <maarhart> yids: sure, the point is that I want to fix B without loosing what I ran via screen.
[13:46] <yids> yeah thats how you do that
[13:47] <yids> with screen -dr you go back in you origal screen
[13:47] <maarhart> I just see a black background and a cursor
[13:47] <yids> ssh in to the machine and type in screen -dr
[13:47] <maarhart> I don't have any issues with screen. I just want to ensure my screen session is alive while fixing this
[13:47] <yids> then if there is a screen running there it will reconnect to it
[13:47] <maarhart> but the main question is how to fix this.
[13:48] <yids> fix what exactly?
[13:48] <maarhart> yeah I know how to use screen. that's not the issue.
[13:48] <maarhart> that I just see a black background and a cursor in computer B
[13:49] <yids> you see nothing on your screen except a black scren and a cursor?
[13:55] <matthewcroughan> Hey!
[13:55] <matthewcroughan> I have a question about Ubuntu Core, and or Ubuntu.
[13:55] <coz_> okie dokie
[13:56] <matthewcroughan> Let's imagine I have a school full of kids, and I want to deploy and control these installations. I want to manage the packages installed and deploy changes to all of them, how would I do this?
[13:56] <maarhart> yids: yes
[13:56] <matthewcroughan> I was thinking Ubuntu core would be a good way of doing this, but is that wrong?
[13:56] <ice9> yubikey 4 isn't flashing when it ask for it during PAM login, any idea?
[13:56] <yids> maarhart: try switchg tty, ctrl-alt-f1 should give you a login shell, ctrl-alt-f7 usualy is your graphical interface
[13:58] <maarhart> yids:
[13:58] <maarhart> I know that.
[13:58] <maarhart> not the solution
[13:59] <coz_> matthewcroughan, I dont have ananswer for you, however, stick around, someone should be able to help
[13:59] <matthewcroughan> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Education/UbuntuSchools
[13:59] <matthewcroughan> looking at this and it's not really something I've found an answer to
[14:00] <yids> you can try to restar x

[14:01] <imi> hi
[14:02] <imi> I want grub to boot with one second timeout. However no matter what I do grub reverts back to 30s timeout after every grub update. how do I fix that?
[14:03] <mgedmin> imi: edit /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub instead of editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly
[14:06] <escanor> Guys anybody can guide through the following error:
[14:06] <escanor> Error message for reference: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/m5NipHWT/Issue%20image.jpeg
[14:08] <coz_> escanor, you might also try the #linux channel if no one here can help
[14:09] <escanor> Cannot join #linux you  must be invited
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> !register | escanor ##linux
[14:10] <escanor> ##linux: Cannot join channel (+b) - you are banned
[14:11] <escanor> I am using irccloud
[14:14] <lotuspsychje> escanor: the #freenode channel can help you on that matter
[14:15] <escanor> Ok guys last time i got solution to the problem from this channel i did not save the steps
[14:15] <escanor> My ubuntu is not booting
[14:15] <BluesKaj> escanor,  irccloud is rejected by freenode if you don't have a "paid" acct with them afaik
[14:15] <escanor> ok
[14:16] <imi> mgedmin: it's exactly what I did
[14:17] <BluesKaj> escanor,  not freenode itself, just ##linux, obviously
[14:18] <imi> mgedmin: https://termbin.com/lcyn
[14:19] <matthewcroughan> I see MAAS is a thing, going to try this out to deploy many desktop instances
[14:21] <mgedmin> imi: and /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[14:22] <imi> mgedmin: https://termbin.com/yj81
[14:23] <mgedmin> imi: and you can see 'set timeout=1' in there (except for the special recordfail case)
[14:24] <imi> yes
[14:24] <mgedmin> imi: if you want to change the timeout on boot-after-previous-boot-failure, add GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=42 to /etc/default/grub.cfg
[14:25] <mgedmin> but I'd instead investigate why my boots are failing
[14:25] <imi> how does recordfail get activated? I'm sure I've always succeeded booting this ubuntu
[14:25] <eamonnmr> Odd, I have a paid irccloud acct and I can't join #linux either
[14:27] <mgedmin> imi: the grub.cfg sets recordfail=1, and then tries booting, and then when ubuntu boots, /etc/init.d/grub-common clears recordfail
[14:27] <mgedmin> by running grub-editenv /boot/grub/grubenv unset recordfail
[14:29] <mgedmin> imi: are you using hibernation?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1475620
[14:30] <imi> mgedmin: usually I don't use hibernation
[14:40] <imi> mgedmin: ok thank you I hope that helps
[15:53] <nomike> hi
[15:53] <octav1a> Installed 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?
[15:55] <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] <monr0e> I don't suppose rustytaco is here?
[15:55] <nomike> I 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] <monr0e> Or anyone with any mailcow experience?
[15:56] <nomike> So 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] <octav1a> I 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 | monr0e
[15:57] <lordcirth_> octav1a, yes, 16.04 with Unity had fractional scaling. 18.04 with Gnome, using the default Xorg, does not.
[15:59] <octav1a> Would he be able to use it if upgrading to 19.04 or 19.10?
[15:59] <za1b1tsu> So 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 installed
[16:01] <za1b1tsu> what 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 stuff
[16:02] <coz_> za1b1tsu, I assume you tried sudo apt install kdenlive? I beleive it is in the repos already
[16:03] <coz_> za1b1tsu, and yes kdenlive will remain installed until you un install it
[16:03] <za1b1tsu> coz, I wanted a newer versions, but it does not matter what software it is, let's call it "xyz"
[16:04] <monr0e> lordcirth_: 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] <za1b1tsu> what is the "proper" procedure if you use user repos and upgrade, unisntall, add new repo, and install?
[16:06] <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 conflicts
[16:07] <SimonNL> nomike: 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"
[16:11] <nomike> SimonNL, 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.
[16:12] <nomike> So 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).
[16:14] <nomike> Does 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] <za1b1tsu> anyway to identify which package is isntalled using user repos?
[16:14] <SimonNL> nomike: only thing I can think of is use of a wireless laptop keyboard
[16:15] <SimonNL> nomike: wich has the keys on it
[16:15] <SimonNL> which*
[16:16] <nomike> The 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.
[16:20] <Rockwood> how rename file in terminal ubuntu?
[16:20] <Rockwood> how rename file in terminal renam eubuntu?
[16:20] <Rockwood> rename
[16:20] <monr0e> Rockwood: (sudo) mv <file> <newfilename>
[16:21] <monr0e> you're moving the file to a new filename, essentially
[16:26] <ioria> za1b1tsu, apt-forktracer is a good tool
[16:27] <ioria> za1b1tsu, you use something like : apt-forktracer | grep -i ppa | awk '{print $1}'
[16:30] <za1b1tsu> ioria that is awesome
[16:30] <ioria> ok
[16:30] <za1b1tsu> thank you
[16:31] <ioria> no prob
[16:31] <za1b1tsu> but it does not work
[16:31] <za1b1tsu> it retuns only one package, and I know for a fact I have multiple
[16:32] <ioria> za1b1tsu, multiple of what ?
[16:32] <nomike> SimonNL_Afk, I set a shortcut for "/usr/bin/xrandr --output eDP-1 -s 1920x1080 --same-as DP-2-1" now. Seems to do what I want.
[16:33] <za1b1tsu> ioria, I have multiple packages installed with ppas, and this only finds otter browser
[16:33] <za1b1tsu> for example I have postgres (because I need a specific version): postgresql-9.4 (9.4.25-1.pgdg19.04+1)
[16:33] <ioria> za1b1tsu, grep -r -i ppa /etc/apt/
[16:55] <codingCookie> hello 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 me
[16:56] <codingCookie> with this?
[16:59] <pragmaticenigma> codingCookie: How are you trying to install VirtualBox?
[17:09] <codingCookie> pragmaticenigma: Firstly i was downloading it from their webpage. Now i switched to install it through apt, virtualbox-6.0
[17:10] <Rockwood> codingCookie, what is your motive for VM on ubuntu server?
[17:10] <pragmaticenigma> Rockwood: Discussion should take place in #ubuntu-discuss... please stay with support topic
[17:11] <pragmaticenigma> codingCookie: Installing through apt are you still encountering issues?
[17:12] <Rockwood> sudo also helpful i think
[17:14] <codingCookie> pragmaticenigma: yes the same, as before
[17:14] <SimonNL_Afk> nomike: great
[17:14] <codingCookie> Rockwood: i want to use it on my work machine to spin up a windows vm for some security testing
[17:14] <pragmaticenigma> codingCookie: Are you certain you were able to fully remove the version that you obtained from the developers site?
[17:15] <codingCookie> right now, i'm removing everything i did
[17:15] <Rockwood> delete all :D
[17:16] <pragmaticenigma> I think you're currently encountering a conflict between what might have gotten installed from the developer's website and the version from apt
[17:16] <codingCookie> i think so too
[17:17] <Wulf> Hello! Is there something similar to https://snapshot.debian.org/ ?
[17:18] <codingCookie> pragmaticenigma: removed everything, checked apt and dpkg
[17:22] <pragmaticenigma> Wulf: 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] <codingCookie> pragmaticenigma: i would now go again for the installation from their wbsite
[17:22] <codingCookie> website*
[17:22] <pragmaticenigma> codingCookie: The volunteers in this channel can only support the version provided through apt/software center
[17:27] <codingCookie> pragmaticenigma: 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?
[17:29] <JJ15> https://askubuntu.com/questions/465454/problem-with-the-installation-of-virtualbox
[17:29] <JJ15> related codingCookie?
[17:30] <pragmaticenigma> codingCookie: I know in the past there have been issues with secure boot and ubuntu running host to virtual box. Take a look at JJ15's link let us know if that appears related
[17:32] <Wulf> pragmaticenigma: yep, reproducable builds
[17:33] <pragmaticenigma> Wulf: I'm sorry, I don't know what that means
[17:36] <Wulf> pragmaticenigma: when I build something twice (compile software, install os, ...) i want to get the same result
[17:38] <JJ15> Wulf: I missed the convo, but do you want to ensure each time the OS is installed everything is the same across installs inc. package build versions, configs etc?
[17:40] <pragmaticenigma> Wulf: Would something like Preseed work?
[17:43] <codingCookie> pragmaticenigma: hey guys, this task extend my estimated working time on my problem. So will shift this to a windows user. I'm really happy that guys helped me!! Thank you very much! #foss
[17:55] <MJCD> https://prnt.sc/q8frha
[17:55] <MJCD> Hah
[17:56] <MJCD> Okay I guess I wont be installing canonical-livepatch any time soon
[17:56] <MJCD> 3 reviews in a row from the 'infamous surely' "dalton" though giving it 5 stars
[17:56] <MJCD> it's really cool how their marketplace doesn't at all prevent that kind of thing (:
[17:57] <MJCD> MS and Ubuntu; Making "Store" apps look really super hard since <whenever>
[18:15] <Wulf> JJ15: yep, that's the idea.
[18:15] <Wulf> pragmaticenigma: no. I won't get the same (unpatched) versions if ubuntu shipped some security updates
[18:19] <rud0lf> how can i browse icons in ubuntu?
[18:19] <rud0lf> i mean i need something like "mail-message-new"
[18:20] <pragmaticenigma> Wulf: Not sure I understand the use case, but perhaps a different distribution altogether might serve your needs better?
[18:25] <ducasse> Wulf: set up a local repo mirror
[18:27] <JJ15> Wulf: You can build a distro ontop of Unbuntu/Debian pretty easily for this case.
[18:27] <Wulf> ducasse: already doing this. But wondering just in case I lose the mirror through whatever mishap
[18:34] <eelstrebor> i'm not sure when this problem cropped up but when i boot up the login screen is oriented properly but if i don't log in right away the login screen rotates 90 degrees. what would cause that?
[18:36] <Wulf> eelstrebor: you mean it first shows correctly and after a while of doing nothing it automatically rotates?
[18:36] <eelstrebor> yep
[18:37] <Wulf> eelstrebor: how long do you have to wait?
[18:42] <sarnold> ColdKeyboard: SWEET! :D
[18:48] <ioria> rud0lf, have you tried with 'gtk3-icon-browser' ?
[18:54] <eelstrebor> Wulf, less than a minute - i didn't time it
[19:04] <Furai> Hey, is there any programme for linux/ubuntu that acts as screensaver and protects your monitors from burn in?
[19:04] <Wulf> Furai: just get a modern monitor.
[19:05] <Furai> lol
[19:05] <Furai> next
[19:06] <Furai> https://www.lifewire.com/lcd-image-persistence-833037
[19:07] <kostkon> Furai, you can use xscreesaver. There are various howtos like this one https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-autostart-xscreensaver-ubuntu-18-04-19-04
[19:08] <pavlos> Furai: most if not all distros have screensavers
[19:08] <Furai> kostkon, pavlos thanks. :)
[19:18] <rud0lf> ioria: thanks, that what i was looking for (sorry for long pause, i was shopping)
[19:31] <ducasse> Furai: the x server itself can also blank and turn off the monitor, see the xset man page
[19:51] <ioria> rud0lf, you're welcome
[20:09] <Furai> ducasse, yeah, I've seen those but I especially wanted to have some moving image, not just blank it. I always have all the taskbars/pane in the same place on screen, they don't change position. I think my best option is lcdscrub from xscreensaver.
[20:28] <pizzaiolo> how can i disable ms core fonts from using embedded bitmaps? i found this post (https://askubuntu.com/questions/594976/how-to-get-calibri-font-to-display-nicely) but after creating ~/.fonts.conf and adding the snippet i'm still having issues
[20:48] <ioria> pizzaiolo, can you try this ? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration#Disable_bitmap_fonts
[20:54] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Back.
[20:56] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Give a bit yet - Pushin gout this week's issue of UWN presently.
[21:00] <dreamon> Bashing-om, maybe tuesday is better? Or in 1/2 an hour?
[21:03] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Anout 1/2 hour :D
[21:04] <pizzaiolo> figured it out - had to edit ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf instead. ran dkpg-reconfigure fontconfig and rebooted just to be safe, and it worked
[21:39] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Ready to go :)
[21:40] <Bashing-om> dreamon: UWN608 is on the streets: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue608 / Gimme a few more minutes for clean up.

[21:42] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Cool.
[21:43] <Bashing-om> freakyy: Show ' dkms status 'please.
[21:44] <Bashing-om> freakyy: Ouch -sorry, dreamon ^^

[21:51] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Is nvidia blacklisted? yes → Is nouveau blacklisted? yes .. ups
[21:56] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Well ! nope "The device is not bound to any driver." - config issues ? show a new ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' .
[21:59] <dreamon> Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wvgfGXtWqy/
[22:01] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Let's get rid of the cruft (rc): dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P .
[22:02] <dreamon> Bashing-om, what stand "rc" for?
[22:02] <Bashing-om> dreamon: "removed but config files remain".
[22:04] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Ok, removed → http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rKn35kRpd9/
[22:08] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Much better - let's see if we can come up on the nouvea driver. ' sudo rm /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf ; sudo apt --purge remove nvidia* ' reboot and let's then see what we have.
[22:13] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Im back. what would you like to see?

[22:18] <dreamon> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/jWGvvZSN8S/
[22:19] <dreamon> Bashing-om, tell me what can you see. now nouveau is loaded..?
[22:21] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Yup, nouvea is loaded - whatnow shows ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' ? and is the system presently usable ?
[22:22] <dreamon> Bashing-om, System works fine.
[22:23] <dreamon> Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HNGvJQFSzh/
[22:23] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Great - I too run Nvidia card, I have no issues with the nouvea driver. Is there a need on your part for the proprietary driver ?
[22:26] <dreamon> Bashing-om, hmm. I had no hdmi audio output to TV.  thought nvidia may work with it. My other laptop running arch, works fine with optimus nvidia390..
[22:34] <dreamon> Bashing-om, dont you think I should give nvidia340 another try?
[22:35] <dreamon> which driver does he use now? nouveau or intel915?
[22:38] <Bashing-om> dreamon: If "muxless" then then the Nvidia signal is through  the Intek chip set .
[22:39] <dreamon> Bashing-om, muxless?
[22:43] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Lemme get caught up with UWN ( ooopps ) and I be back .
[22:46] <jeremy31> ooopps?
[22:50] <nikolam> I was using monitor on VGA port, turned monitor off and changed VGA cable and turn it back on. And since then, ubuntu session is on 1024X768 instead of 1920X1080.
[22:51] <nikolam> What is more strange, dual-boot Other OS is fine with new VGA cable and autoconfig, but XUbuntu 19.10 is still in 1024X768 after reboot
[22:51] <linux_dr_arcules> I used to be much more comfortable setting up networks on linux machines, back before IP-tables that, I believe have come and gone. I'm trying to connect to a device with a fixed IP address on a private ethernet peer-to-peer network and am having no luck. The device is erroneously using a public IP address: 192.0.0.64, but I am unable to get packets going to it, even when disconnecting from all other networks. Can someone he
[22:51] <linux_dr_arcules> lp me figure this out?
[22:52] <nikolam> Could theis be reported beter to #xubuntu instead or it it could be seen as Ubuntu-wide? Hardware is second-generation Intel i3 with Intel HD2000 graphics
[22:53] <nikolam> linux_dr_arcules, there is ufw for setting up firewall and gufw to do it with GUI.
[22:53] <linux_dr_arcules> Hmm... I think my own personal timing is rather bad. Let me pop back later. Thanks in advance.
[22:54] <linux_dr_arcules> nikolam: thanks
[22:56] <nikolam> linux_dr_arcules, if you have GUI it is all well set up in nm-connection-editor
[22:56] <lizzie> I installed ubuntu on a flash drive, and I'm running into an issue that every time I boot it on a new computer using ethernet, it fails to do dhcp because the netplan configuration has ethernet adapter names hardcoded in
[22:56] <lizzie> how can I write a netplan yaml that will do dhcp on *all* ethernet interfaces?
[22:58] <nikolam> linux_dr_arcules, only way to get public IP is if the router that is serving network to the 'device' if is router is in 'bridge' mode.
[22:59] <Bashing-om> dreamon: OK run: /usr/bin/prime-supported that generates /var/log/prime-supported.log . Let's see what that log relates to Mux.
[23:00] <OerHeks> yay, FF 71 update
[23:01] <dreamon> Bashing-om, /usr/bin/prime-supported → not found
[23:01] <dreamon> prime isnt installed I Think
[23:04] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Maybe that is the reason. OK, onward to getting the proprietary to install. Let's now try as ' sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt install nvidia-graphics-driver-390 nvidia-settings ' .
[23:08] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Ok, is running. wondering installing 390.. without prime?
[23:09] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Package nvidia-graphics-driver-390 could not be found..
[23:09] <Bashing-om> dreamon: I expect that prime is a dependency and will auto install in that instance.
[23:10] <Bashing-om> !info nvidia-driver-390 bionic
[23:10] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Oopps -see ^^ sgould be as " nvidia-driver-390" :(
[23:11] <Bashing-om> should*
[23:11] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Ok, now its installing
[23:12] <dreamon> yeah, as you said. nvidia-prime is coming with it. ;)
[23:13] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Great, without error.. should I reboot?
[23:14] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Yeah - reboot and let's see what we have now :)
[23:17] <pikapika> Is it possible to control pulse audio from config files/command line?
[23:17] <pikapika> Specifically to disable sound for a particular program
[23:20] <dreamon> Bashing-om, something is different. my xfce logo is flickering at startup.
[23:20] <pikapika> dreamon, you clicking or pressing any keys?
[23:20] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Im not sure if nvidia is running correct. starting nvidia-settings it shows me only 3 options
[23:21] <dreamon> pikapika, No.
[23:21] <pikapika> Ok
[23:21] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Audio is still muted.
[23:23] <Bashing-om> dreamon: "muted" might be an issue elsewhere :( .. what shows ' sudo lshw -C display ; cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' ?
[23:23] <kostkon> pikapika, check out pactl and pacmd
[23:24] <pikapika> Whats sinks and sources in this context?
[23:25] <dreamon> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/k2rCymZVCS/
[23:28] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Nope nvidia driver fails to load :(
[23:28] <iniazi> i'm having an issue with (19.04 installed -> upgraded to 19.10) gnome setting wrong refresh rate on the login screen.  basically I installed ubuntu on a minipc (intel hd 5xx) using a 4k monitor and afterwards plugged it into a 4k tv.    but tv complains that resolution is not supported.
[23:29] <iniazi> so need to reduce the refresh rate at the login screen
[23:29] <dreamon> Bashing-om, cause → Is nvidia blacklisted? yes
[23:30] <Bashing-om> dreamon: "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] <dreamon> Bashing-om, its legacy mode enabled. no EFI
[23:31] <Bashing-om> dreamon: :D - ls -al /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf - here ?
[23:32] <nikolam> I solved my resolution problem with 'cvt' and 'xrandr' commands.
[23:33] <dreamon> Bashing-om, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 183 Dez  8 22:14 /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf
[23:34] <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..
[23:35] <nikolam> Winder if there is more automated way to probe resolutions. It all started by myself simply changing VGA cable to monitor...
[23:35] <Bashing-om> dreamon: rm that file and see then what results after a reboot (lshw).
[23:36] <nikolam> It's Intel HD 2000 at the moment, and before that some Radeon HD were in use.
[23:37] <iniazi> or 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 tv
[23:38] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Now had no flickering..
[23:40] <nikolam> iniazi, 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.
[23:41] <dreamon> Bashing-om, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/6SRZgZsSdM/
[23:41] <nikolam> Might be better to find something more mild.
[23:41] <dreamon> Bashing-om, but nvidia-settings is still only 3 options.
[23:42] <sarnold> nikolam: btw there's no need for tasksel, apt can do those too, something like apt-get install lamp-server^ for example
[23:42] <iniazi> nikolam, 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] <nikolam> iniazi, probably using 'cvt' and xrandr --newmode ; xrandr --addmode , like I did
[23:43] <sarnold> see the apt-get bits here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel#Command_line_arguments
[23:43] <iniazi> nikolam: 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 missing
[23:43] <nikolam> iniazi, isn't it what 'purge' is for, to purge all settings too?
[23:43] <iniazi> oh does purge does that?  ok, i misread the description
[23:43] <nikolam> iniazi, what's your graphics?
[23:44] <Bashing-om> dreamon: \o/.. what says the gpu log now ?
[23:45] <dreamon> Bashing-om, already send you^^ → https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/6SRZgZsSdM/
[23:45] <iniazi> intel 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] <iniazi> on my monitor
[23:46] <dreamon> DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep OpenGL → Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[23:47] <iniazi> anyway, 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.
[23:48] <iniazi> actually ultimate issue is the intel hd 5xx graphics.  i think drivers or something is buggy
[23:48] <iniazi> i wish they sold minipcs with cheapo nvidia graphics on it
[23:48] <iniazi> or 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 spend
[23:49] <Bashing-om> dreamon: /var/log/gpu-manager.log ?
[23:49] <iniazi> nikolam, but yeah looks like purge would reset the configs.
[23:50] <iniazi> i'll have to remove the user dir config (~/.config/monitors.xml as well... )
[23:50] <nikolam> iniazi, thy cvt and xrandr to get your resolution
[23:50] <dreamon> Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WszXz5Ph8y/ → once more
[23:51] <iniazi> nikolam, let me try cvt... xrandr can't open display since I'm sshing to the ubuntu box
[23:51] <nikolam> I bet there is more automate way, but i didn't come up with other right now
[23:52] <nikolam> cvt is just for getting Modeline , so you wouldn't fry your monitor/display with bad timings.
[23:52] <iniazi> oh cvt generates a modeline... ok, let me lookup that newmode command
[23:53] <Bashing-om> dreamon: Log file looks good - system seems in a happy state. Any known issues now ?
[23:55] <dreamon> Bashing-om, nvidia-setting shows only 3options.. like before. but no flickering at boot time.
[23:56] <dreamon> Bashing-om, Using DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo name of display: :0.0 → Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[23:56] <Bashing-om> dreamon: I do not run the proprietary driver; so can not relate to what the 3 options are :(

[23:59] <dreamon> Bashing-om, normally it should look like this → https://media-cdn.ubuntu-de.org/wiki/attachments/16/06/nvidia-prime-profiles-1.jpg
