[01:26] Sorry cosmic [01:27] !cosmic [01:27] Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) was the 29th release of Ubuntu. Support ended July 18th, 2019. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2019-July/004996.html [01:27] robertparkerx: oh! hah. cosmic hit EOL on july 18 2019 and ondrej only supports currently supported releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases https://launchpad.net/%7Eondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/+index?batch=75&memo=225&start=225 [01:28] Ah crap [01:28] How can I dist upgrade [01:28] do-release-upgrade [01:29] What would be the proper way to go about specifying user access to a static mount in /etc/fstab for ext4?

Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [01:48] Cool now I'm on 19.04 [01:48] B-) [01:48] much better :) [01:48] \o/ robertparkerx [01:49] note that 19.04 hits EOL in january; so plan on doing this again in a few weeks to get to 19.10 [01:50] So does that mean 18.04 is EOL too? lol [01:51] WaV: NOooo ... 18.04 is a LTS release ( 5 years) :) [01:51] Ok good. [01:51] My laptop has been super super stable since I switched to Ubuntu 2 months ago [01:51] I don't want to break it. [01:52] LTS releases are better choices for people who just want a computer; the other releases are better choices for people who like to fiddle with new things and participate in development [01:53] and sometimes the same person will have different needs; machines that should be stable run lts, dev machines may run the non-lts releases, and have a test machine with non-lts to keep up with changes, etc [02:05] How could I go ahead and upgrade to 19.10 now from 19.04 [02:06] Run `do-dist-upgrade` again? [02:25] robertparkerx: Yep - on fully Updated 19.04 install :) [02:27] How do I install The following packages have been kept back: [02:27] It won't allow me to upgrade I think because of this [02:28] nevermind sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade [02:29] apt upgrade should do the right thing most of the time [02:29] but use do-release-upgrade to migrate between versions [02:29] robertparkerx: ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' Pay attention here as there are reasons why the system holds packages back and you are now over-riding the package manager. [02:36] (Repost)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 so [02:36] meone help me figure this out? === zbenjamin is now known as Guest37166 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:37] nicolam suggested guff which I installed already, but I believe I need to setup the interface with the static IP device first. [02:37] linux_dr_arcules: hmm, why'd it get that address? is it connected to the internet and getting that address via dhcp? [02:37] S/guff/gufw/ [02:38] sarnold: OLD hardware.... I think it may support DHCP as an option, but the factory default is fixed static IP [02:38] oh this is firmly in *weird* territory then.. [02:39] hello, which utility can I use for displaying myimage.jpg in a window without borders and decorations, that I can easily move with the mouse? [02:39] linux_dr_arcules: you can use ip addr add .. to add IP addresses to your linux machine's network card, then ip route add ... to add a route for that IP [02:39] sarnold: Yep... Especially with that kooky address. [02:39] linux_dr_arcules: the manpages are in ip-address and ip-route [02:40] faLUCE: I've used qiv for displaying images for many years but no idea on the 'move with the mouse' part [02:42] sarnold: the problem with qiv is that I can move the window only by pointing with the mouse on the top of it [02:42] Yes, but I don't want to add any more public IP addresses in private LANs than I need to. I could for instance set my USB ethernet to 192.0.0.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 so it's on the subnet, but that hides 256 public IPs from my system [02:43] I guess I could setup a 192.0.0.* subnet and only route to it for that one kooky IP address? [02:50] so is there an easy way to configure a NIC to talk to one, and only one IP address? [02:54] linux_dr_arcules: maybe. on linux it'd be easy enough to ip route add a route for a specific IP address [02:54] linux_dr_arcules: but your hardware device may not have iproute2 tools installed, or may not have the older route tool installed, or perhaps user-accessible [02:57] I don't care about my device talking to the outside network... only concerned in it talking to me. [02:57] linux_dr_arcules: netmak of 31, no gateway [02:58] CarlFK: isn't that backwards??? [02:58] maybe 32. not sure what would happen in that case as the first and list IPs are 'reserved' for stuff like dhcp and I forget what else [02:58] ah, actually 31 is perfect. you need 1 IP for each end of the wire [02:58] what IP do you want to talk to? [02:59] 192.0.0.64 [03:03] you will have 2 IPs: 64 is 01000000, and 65 01000001 [03:04] net mask of 31 is ff.ff.ff.fe or 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111110 [03:06] hmm, I am starting to think 30 [03:08] I guess I should start off by verifying my NIC supports Auto MDI-X? :-| [03:10] 11111100 ... and now I am trying to work out if you can use .64 as that will be the broadcast IP .

[09:26] fairuz: why are you using sudo to run su? you can achieve the same result from sudo -i -u $USER [09:28] I want to run some commands as root [09:28] ducasse Same thing if I use sudo -i [09:28] seems like it only allow one root session or something [09:31] I think I can reproduce it this way. 1) SSH to the server (using key) 2) sudo su and put in password, managed to get into root shell 3) Open another terminal and ssh into the server (using key). 4)sudo su and put in password, got rejected password incorrect [09:31] -i is for starting a shell under another user... though it only allows one session to be in the foreground of any given tty [09:31] ah [09:32] multiple sessions can exist in parallel but each would need its own tty. [09:32] via a terminal multiplexer or separate ssh sessions. [09:32] etc [09:33] fairuz: seriously though. don't mix sudo and su together. each handles passwords differently. [09:34] sudo expects the current user's password. su expects the target user's password. [09:34] ryuo I always use sudo su before this. Will use sudo -i after this. Thanks [09:34] e.g., under the default mode of operation (root user) [09:35] sudo expects your user password. [09:35] su expects the root user's password (if it exists) [09:36] ryuo Noted with thanks [09:37] but I have a confusion [09:37] same here, out of habit: sudo su - [09:37] Using sudo -i now, I still cannot sudo -i on the second ssh session [09:42] Both are using different tty (/dev/pts/0 and /dev/pts/1) [09:50] fairuz: don't know what to tell you. i've never known sudo to have issues with concurrent sessions. [09:52] morning, any news on when zfs will be available as an install option on ubuntu server 19.10? [09:54] syoc: is it specifically not available in server but it's available for desktop? [09:56] SwedeMike according to https://ubuntu.com/blog/enhancing-our-zfs-support-on-ubuntu-19-10-an-introduction [09:56] hello. I seem to have deleted my Settings, as in no ability to edit or adjust any kind of settings whatsoever. When I click on the top-right menu bar, in the dropdown it shows the PowerOn/Off icon, but where the Settings icon is supposed to be next to it, it's gone. Even when I press the Super key, and type Settings into the search bar, nothing comes up. This began after I was Removing items off my machine via the Ubuntu Software Store. I thought I [09:56] was being careful not to Remove any item that seemed remotely system-important, but I guess not careful enough. No idea what I could've Removed that would've done this. Any advice please? TIA. [09:59] syoc: if it's not available for server right now, I would guess it's not going to be available until 20.04 comes out.

[14:23] rypervenche: I followed a few different ones, one of them seemed to work. Then I rebooted and it worked. I've used by .bash_history to look through the files I've edited and try to restore them (I did add comments to help me undo it), but it seems it wasn't enough. To the best of my knowledge I've reversed my changes but it still doesn't work. [14:24] *none of them seemed to work. Then ... [14:25] Iarla: I'm guessing you edited something in /etc/X11, yes? If so, which file(s)? [14:25] And did you reboot after making the changes back?

[14:31] a90c: if the laptop is a propper normal laptop [14:32] I guess it would suppoert your hardware just fine. [14:32] What laptop brand and model is it? [14:32] raidghost: actually not, its chinese manifucturer [14:32] raidghost: thats why im not sure [14:33] a90c: so its kind of random chinese chipset? [14:34] raidghost: it has emmc storage.

[14:42] a90c: yeah if it works in the live iso it should work in the install usually [14:42] ok thanks guys [14:43] dmesg output would give me supported devices then, right?

Please, give me any piece of advice, I'll appreciate it. [14:50] What should I do? [14:52] Robert74: the usual cause is that there is no driver for your wifi hardware. I don't know for certain if that's the case for you, but if it is, then the most trouble-free way of fixing it is to buy one of the tiny USB wifi dongles available. [14:53] (one that works in Linux by default without third party drivers, that is) [14:58] Oh, if only I could buy another wifi dongle =( this one, which I currently have, worked well in 19.04, but now it doesn't... I've done exactly the same instruction like in github.com/cyberkotov/mw300um-linux-driver . In 19.04 it worked, in 19.10 it does not.

Python 3.5 is superseded by 3.6. [15:45] ice9: you also need scdaemon running, iirc. it's been a while since i set this up [15:46] Hund: will software compiled for 3.5 work with 3.6 ? [15:46] ducasse, you mean the pcscd daemon, but what to do with the gpg-agent? [15:47] mmx_in_space: You can install other pythons (either from a ppa or by compiling) but I strongly recommend that you don't replace the system python, instead install it as an alternate version. [15:47] mmx_in_space: It depends on the application and its dependencies I guess. [15:47] ice9: just run something like 'eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)' [15:47] mmx_in_space: But it should work. [15:48] ice9: and i did mean scdaemon, at least it's running here [15:48] ducasse, i have no daemon with that name [15:50] ice9: it's in the scdaemon package [15:51] ice9: then put 'scdaemon-program /usr/lib/gnupg/scdaemon' and 'enable-ssh-support' in $HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf [15:52] akk, hund, i installed python 3.5.6 using source code. how can i remove it completely or make my application default use the system python version ? [15:54] there was an option to prevent replacing the default python binary file /usr/bin/python but i realized to late [15:54] too* [15:55] mmx_in_space: The readme should include instructions how to uninstall it as well. Then just reinstall the latest version from your package manager. [15:55] mmx_in_space: Usually packages that use make have a make uninstall target (+ what Hund said) [15:56] akk, Hund, ok thanks a million [15:56] Though if apt uses python and you replaced the system python, make uninstall might break apt. [15:56] crap [15:57] I don't know if apt uses python for something basic like apt install. [15:57] I would think that apt install python3 --reinstall would get you what you need from the system python. [15:58] You might possibly have some extra files here and there, but they probably wouldn't cause problems. [16:02] akk: thanks. i will try a little later today [16:03] mmx_in_space: You could also (after the reinstall) try make -n uninstall -- -n will tell you what it would do, without actually doing it. [16:04] Then any directories that have only 3.5.6 in the path, e.g. /usr/lib/python3.5.6, you could remove by hand. [16:04] (or maybe just move them somewhere else first, so you can restore them if it breaks something) [16:08] I have problems getting multiple screens with 19.10 on my Lenovo P51 laptop. Gnome doesn't even detect the second screen. Hybrid graphics. Nvidia driver. Does not help changing BIOS to discrete. Nouveu does not help. Works fine with 18.04. What are my options? Abandon 19.10 and wait for 20.04? [16:15] help. how to map all files in /keyword* to symlinks in myfolder/mylinks/ ? files and folders alike. [16:30] cariveri: you mean there are files called keyword* and folders called keyword* ? [16:30] Other than just ln -s /keyword* myfolder/mylinks/ ? [16:31] i dont think ln is that smart, could it be [16:31] I'm probably misunderstanding the question. [16:32] akk: it is that smart, providing a list of the dirs and just a destination works [16:32] cariveri: go with akk 's suggestion of ln -s /mypath/keyword* /myfolder/links [16:35] keyword* is a glob pattern. * being any continuation. [16:35] cariveri: yeah, we know [16:41] lets say I got resources/views/{cars,car,car_stand,car_box.txt} , app/car.md , app/Controllers/CarController.md and all those I'd like to have accessible at components/car/views/{cars,car,car_stand,car_box.txt} and compontents/car/model/car.md , components/car/Controller/CarController.md .. in other words Id like a secondary access structure moving from MVC pattern to components. [16:42] as symlinks. [16:43] but perhaps this isnt the right channel. perhaps I should ask #bash? [16:43] cariveri: it's not really a bash question per say [16:43] cariveri: so you're saying you want the directory tree to be copied as well to the mylinks/ dir? [16:47] EriC^: note, the structure is different. find any Model, View or Controller and make it into one component folder. with or without subdirs of {m,v,c}. [16:47] component by component that is. [16:48] cariveri: I'm not understanding how this is an Ubuntu support question. This seems more like a programming question, which should be directed at a different channel [16:49] cariveri: Data organization is a user choice, and invokes a lot of opinions which doesn't make for a support question. If you want to discuss file organzation, perhaps try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss. If you are having issues with an Ubuntu application or system resource, this would be the place to ask for help./ [16:52] cariveri: if there aren't too many of them i guess you could do "ln -s resources/views components/car" and "ln -s app/car.md /components/car/model/car.md" and "ln -s app/controllers components/car" [16:53] pragmaticenigma: as said above, Im not sure whether this is the right channel. but I tried to state my case in order to find someone sy :"hey, ubuntu has this map file system programm or alike that does exactely that." do you have any idea where to go to? because I dont. === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [16:54] cariveri: you'd need to do "mkdir -p components/car/model" first [16:55] EriC^: perhaps we go on in pm ? [16:56] i mean there's not much support going on here right now anyways [16:57] i can recall 20 support tickets similar to this, from a guy wanting to organize his music accordin to genre for his car trip, to a guy asking how to make ubuntu read out everything he highlights cause he's almost blind, all not 'ubuntu support' questions [17:00] !pm | cariveri [17:00] cariveri: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [17:01] cariveri: As I mentioned before, file organization is a user choice. It is unlikely, and I have not seen any, there is a program to do what you describe in an "off-the-shelf" availability. [17:03] i think he wanted something that can let him map stuff, like point this dir to that and the other to etc, kinda nice if it exists not aware of any personally [17:04] i dont think that many people map stuff to other dirs, i guess it could be very beneficial for a project type dir like you have going on [17:04] yes. inspired by vifm I thought perhaps I define a map file someone which I can edit and that automatically creates ymlinks form it. that would have been almost perfect. [17:05] cariveri: you can write a script that will do it for you each time if you want [17:05] A person can use hard links for files, which would allow one file to exist on the drive, but be referenced from different locations. You can also use a softlink to have a directory point to another directory. The only application that I have ever seen that does something like that automatically is fslint, which is intended for managing duplicate files [17:10] cariveri: basically just create first off the non-existent dirs in the mylinks/ then "ln -s /what/to/point/to /mylinks/dir/name" [17:12] hello. How can I view myfile.pdf in a window without decorations and margins? [17:13] I tried display myfile.pdf (imagemagick) but it scales the pdf in a weird way [17:16] faLUCE: There are no applications that I am aware of that explicately request the window manager not draw borders, with the only exception being imagemagick. Perhaps you need to check your parameters to imagemagick? [17:17] faLUCE: F11 I think changes to presentation mode. perhasp thats what you need after openeing the pdf in a standard viewer. [17:20] faLUCE: there are window managers (for example i3), which can be configured to run exact application without borders and decorations :) [17:20] There are lots of apps that request no borders. evince, chromium-browser, dclock [17:20] EriC^: thanks a lot so far. Ill keep going. eventhough I need to go now. [17:20] cariveri: no problem, ok [17:20] akk: Those do that after being requested to display in that method. Not by default [17:21] pragmaticenigma: I have definitely never requested that for evince and chromium-browser; I'm always trying to turn the borders back on, but they always seem to turn themselves off again. [17:21] faLUCE: maybe devilspie can help [17:22] !info dveilspie | faLUCE [17:22] I dislike borderless except for a few apps like dclock. [17:22] faLUCE: Package dveilspie does not exist in eoan [17:22] !info devilspie | faLUCE [17:22] faLUCE: devilspie (source: devilspie): find windows and perform actions on them. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.23-2build1 (eoan), package size 44 kB, installed size 228 kB [17:22] akk: I don't know how you are launching them in that fashion... all the apps you mentioned I've only ever seen open, by default, with their window borders and decorations [17:23] pragmaticenigma: I'm just running them from the commandline. How do I get evince to show borders? It's definitely hiding them by default. [17:24] akk: Perhaps it has something to do with launching them from the command line... I don't know... a topic to continue elsewhere though [17:24] <_UsUrPeR_> Hey All. i'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 on a Mac Pro 5,1. It requires an EFI boot partition, and I am having a helluva time getting Ubuntu to boot properly. I do not have the original video cards, so rEFInd will not work [17:24] I don't see anything obvious in the hamburger menu that would offer borders. [17:24] I am having trouble with my newly installed 19.10 dual monitor setup and I am wondering if anybody can reproduce what I am seeing.. I have two UHD monitors (one laptop screen, one external display). I have the external monitor set to be the primary at 100% scale, the laptop display is set to UHD at 150% scale with the second monitor positioned to [17:24] the right,bottom of the primary. When I move the mouse to the edge of the screen the primary display will pan into the secondary display before the mouse finally moves to the secondary. This does not happen if I move the mouse slowly across the edge. [17:25] chromium does remember if I turn the borders back on, but I can't figure out how to get them with evince. [17:26] evince has its own titlebar with the iconify, maximize, dismiss buttons that are usually on the windowmanager chrome. [17:26] liquidgecka: are you certain the scales are set independently for each screen? that the primary monitor isn't showing a viewport ? [17:30] pragmaticenigma: Perhaps you have gtk3-nocsd installed? Here's a discussion on how a lot of gtk3 apps disable the windowmanager decorations in ubuntu, though it's a couple years old: https://askubuntu.com/questions/961161/how-do-i-disable-client-side-decoration-globally-in-gnome [17:31] akk: I asked earlire, please discontinue the discussion here. Feel free to join #ubuntu-discuss [17:32] Okay, I'll stop. I thought this channel was for discussing how to solve things that are problems on ubuntu. [17:33] _UsUrPeR_: give this a try, https://heeris.id.au/2014/ubuntu-plus-mac-pure-efi-boot/ [17:33] pragmaticenigma totally possible.. this was just configured using the display settings panel in the ubuntu configuration tool [17:34] _UsUrPeR_: this seems a newer article, https://medium.com/@mmiglier/ubuntu-installation-on-usb-stick-with-pure-efi-boot-mac-compatible-469ad33645c9 [17:35] liquidgecka: What version of ubuntu? are you using ubuntu tweaks? from what I know, the only supported scaling is 100% and 200%, and requires using the tweak tool to get values in between [17:35] <_UsUrPeR_> EriC^, thanks! [17:36] this setup worked on 19.04 and prior but since 19.10 it now started panning like this [17:36] _UsUrPeR_: np, let me know if you need any help, i've done it a few times for folks on here [17:37] pragmaticenigma ahh yes.. that tweak was in the shared home directory between the two installs so it carried over that would make sense [17:37] I forgot I ran that way way back when =) [17:38] maybe removing that configuration and readding it will resolve it? [17:39] ahh yes good idea let me try that real fast. =) === liquidgecka39 is now known as liquidgecka [17:50] okay.. disabling that feature was clearly not a "live" safe operation.. my mouse got stuck in a bounding box that did not include the whole screen =) [17:51] good to know [17:54] okay yea.. its hard to debug because I don't have different resolution monitors when scale can't be set in a per monitor basis. It appears now that panning only happens when I move the mouse into the "dead zone" above the second monitor when scaled which is an improvement at least. =) === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [17:55] effectively I just need to find a way to prevent the mouse from being allowed into that dead space and I think I can make this workable for now [17:55] liquidgecka: It appears you're on to something then. If you have nvidia drivers installed, make sure there isn't something set in there? [17:55] thanks for pointing that out pragmaticenigma, I had totally forgotten about that setting! [17:56] I looked through the nvidia settings stuff but didn't see anything that jumped out to me. I remember doing something with dead zones before but I don't remember panning like this. Either way this gives me a good path to hunt down in order to debug/configure a little further =) === ayr-ton is now known as court_jester [19:00] Hi Everyone, I am trying to install ubuntu 18.04 alongside Win 10 on a lenovo X1 5th generation. For some reason when I get to the step of installing ubuntu "Install alongside Win 10" is not available as option. I know this is a very broad topic, but I'm hoping someone can help me trouble shoot as I've tried everything I can think of an I'm getting no luck. [19:01] Soldierbane: did you disable fastboot on win10 and then shutdown completely? [19:01] Yes. I also shrank the Win 10 partion by 90GB to give space for ubuntu. [19:02] also did powercfg /h off and run a chkdsk. [19:03] Soldierbane: I did a similar install but I had to choose "something else", format that partition as ext4, mount point / and install there [19:03] Hey all. I've got a rather strange problem happening. I'm on an MSI pe60 6qe (i mention because it has hardware issues sometimes with linux). when i close/open my monitor for example, it has a few seconds of hardware errors/interrupt issues... something strange, then it recovers. anyway, during one of these - i unplugged my keyboard. now, *only [19:03] that keyboard* and *only on my machine*, when i hit spacebar it spits out "yhn" and enter spits out "tgb" [19:03] my keyboard works fine on other computers. it's a planck keyboard - i've tried resettting the firmware. i've rebooted my computer [19:03] i'm wondering if there's a keyboard profile/driver/something somewhere in ubuntu that i could reset for my keyboard to see if that'd help [19:04] Pavlos: That partition being the blank one I created? [19:04] Soldierbane: yes, that 90GB [19:09] ok, So created device: /dev/nvme0n1p5 Type: ext4 Mount point: / Size 94372 MB Used: Unkwown When I select that and click install now it says: "The partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a speerate partion for boot loader code. This partition should be marked for use as a "Reserved BIOS boot area" and should be at least 1 MB in size. Note that this is not the same as a partition mounted on /boot. If you do not go [19:09] back to the partitioning menu and correct this error, boot loader installation may fail later, although it may still be possible to install the boot loader to a partition." [19:10] When filling out the info in network connection should the device catagory be a name or a number [19:12] Soldierbane, did you start the installer in EFI mode ? [19:19] Holy shit ioria you're a genius. System was set to prefer legacy boot. [19:19] Changed it to UEFI only and my install alongside option is there. I feel so stupid right now haha. [19:19] Soldierbane, it's ok [19:25] It lives!! Thank you guys so much! === coz_ is now known as compizFanBoy === compizFanBoy is now known as coz_ [20:02] Hello, I'm playing around with preseed installation. Does somebody know of a way to either include a local config file via preseed/include or include a file containing one of the kernel parameters which become environment variables after booting into the installer? [20:06] Hello all I just upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 and I'm having trouble with deluged [20:06] If I try to install deluged I get: [20:06] deluged : Depends: python3-libtorrent (>= 1.1.1) but it is not going to be installed [20:06] If I try to apt-get install python3-libtorrent I get: [20:06] python3-libtorrent : Depends: libtorrent-rasterbar9 (= 1.1.5-1build1) but 1.1.13+git20191027.909211888e+patched-configure-1ppa1~16.04 is to be installed [20:07] Any ideas? [20:08] is it deluged or deluge [20:08] HaSH, ^^ [20:08] HaSH, do you have any third party repos? [20:09] Deluge is the program and delugeD is the daemon [20:09] lordcirth_, I did have some previous to upgrading, but during upgrade it said it disabled some. The update went fine without error [20:10] HaSH, ok. 1.1.13+git20191027.909211888e+patched-configure-1ppa1~16.04 implies it's from ppa made for 16.04 [20:10]
