[00:01] Is there a procedure to calibrate a touch screen in xubuntu 18.04?

[00:52] Oops ha ha [00:53] Yeeting means throwing, it originates from a silly meme [00:54] HayashiEsme: just do /nick hayashi [00:54] etc [00:54] re reg [00:54] maybe not [00:55] Oh if only that fixed it ha, turns out it the client kept wanting to replace my username with my ubuntu username on login [00:55] damnit where tf is this py [00:55] Or least I think anyway, I haven't been on IRC since I was a little fetus lmfao [00:56] ditto [00:56] been decades, used to dfo vb2 on aol [00:56] now im python irc [00:56] lol [00:56] daaaamn [00:56] I'll look Python IRC up [00:56] back in the ole gold rush days of spam [00:57] gotta send them chain mail lmfao [00:57] folks, can we please keep on-topic?

[00:58] Sorry thanks for letting me know about the topic rule [00:58] just getting back, sorry for the delay. [00:59] Give the blog's URLm [00:59] *URL [00:59] it's down right now. [01:00] What happened? [01:00] Well, actually, it was. It's back up but something's wrong with the CSS so it's just HTML. [01:00] Well, sometime in 2015ish something broke. I had work and just ... didn't 'take the time to fix it. [01:00] So initially I just couldn't login so I couldn't add content. And then apparently something else broke and it stopped working altogether [01:00] How was your blog's traffic? [01:00] blog.mustmodify.com [01:01] Dunno, I didn't care. I was mostly keeping my software notes there. [01:01] Well, get the blog back up online. [01:01] More lab notes as I wrote software, kind of a place to think on paper [01:02] Right. [01:03] So I posted a question a while ago and still don't know quite how to do it. [01:03] https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.mustmodify.com%2F States that you have an CSS [01:03] I have all the posts each in a file. [01:03] I need to change the 3rd through nth line that contains just "---" to "```" [01:04] I know how to do it if it's EVERY instance [01:04] but don't know how to do the 3rd..nth instance for each file [01:04] any suggestions of a tool that might do that? [01:05] I can't access the css sheet that the site is linked to [01:06] Oh whoops you have a solution [01:06] right. I have the content in files. [01:06] And I can import it to a new site. [01:06] But I need to make changes to the 102 files. [01:06] And I can do it manually but as a dev... that's kinda sad. :| [01:07] Will a text editor not replace it for you? [01:07] I know VSCode would do it, it'll preview everything before you replace it oo [01:07] Read above. There's a catch. [01:08] I need to replace the 3rd through last instance of ---, not the first two, IN EACH FILE. [01:08] Right I need to sleep my bad [01:08] So that's harder. [01:09] Yeah it can be a little hard to get that done, regex specifically discourages using it to replace code [01:09] I'll figure it out. [01:10] I'm thinking about writing a ruby script to do it. [01:10] That wouldn't be too hard. [01:10] I guess you'll have to figure out if finding a tool is worth the time taken to manually do it yourself [01:10] Not familiar with Ruby but that makes sense [01:11] it's 102 files so that seems like it'd take forever!!! :) [01:11] Or I'm just lazy. [01:11] Well or you'll end up being bored out of your mind before you get it done I guess ha [01:12] Yeah 102 files worth of every third lines would be frustrating, F [01:17] how do i transfer videos/photos from my pixel 3 to ubuntu ? I currently dont see anything when i connect the usb c? [01:19] ipad mounts with dcim folder without problems [01:57] any idea on how to use xpra on ubuntu 19.10 properly [02:05] how come i added my user to sudo group but i still get pemission denied unless I type sudo blah command? [02:05] am I misunderstanding something about how permissions work in linux [02:05] sudo group means you _can_ type sudo [02:06] sudo doesn't give you the authority. It gives you the authority to use root, which has the authority. [02:06] type `whoami` [02:06] then type `sudo whoami` [02:06] mustmodify, what if i want to not have to type sudo each time but dont want to use an account called root? [02:07] OK. So you want an account just like root but with another name? [02:07] anon: you can get a shell "sudo -i" [02:07] you'd be using the account 'root' kind of though [02:08] Just FYI, that's typically frowned upon because you have so much power you could easily cause problems for yourself. [02:08] but you can certainly do it. [02:08] mustmodify, yes exactly [02:08] i mean i understand i could cause problems for myself but [02:08] its better than having an account explicitly called root and using that no? [02:09] it's better to use your own account and use sudo when you need to do something. So at least you're typing sudo and saying "MUST NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS!!!" [02:09] mustmodify, let's try to focus on the question, and less about personal opinions. [02:10] anon, it is frowned upon, but there is no method by which you can have an account with root priveleges other than root itself. [02:11] o ok thanks pragmaticenigma [02:12] guess I was just curious [02:14] anon, it is possible to get root like session after authentication. Where you would issue the command "sudo -i" which lets you into a "root" level shell where you are free to issue commands and run applications. If you decide you would prefer that, that is the closest, and safest way to achieve your goal. Your machine remains secure against outside forces, and only your user with sudo priveleges can access a "root" shell [02:15] ? [02:15] ! [02:15] anon, the next closest is to setup sudo to not require a password. But that does lower the threshold for keeping your machine secure. [02:18] got it [02:18] interesting stuff [02:18] can I ask how you acquired that level of knowledge? [02:18] dont use sudo without password [02:18] or is this just common knowledge [02:19] i mean ive been using linux for awhile but i didnt know this [02:19] anon, As a person that has been using linux and other unix type systems. I will say in the last few years I have found the need to use sudo less and less. The entire community is working toward reducing the need for root level permissions. [02:20] anon, I've aquired the knowledge through time, and lots of trial and error [02:20] you should just get in the habit of using "sudo COMMAND" when you need to run something as "root" [02:21] its also a good check so you know which commands are being run as root and everything else is not [02:21] styledash, we've already covered that portion. let's not continue to repeat ourselves [02:22] repetition is the path to understanding [02:24] usb flash with exfat. I removed exfat-fuse and usb flash can be mounted and the drives show the flash drive has a file system exfat. Kernel 5.4.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [02:26] linux 5.4 is not available on any ubuntu release supported here, i think. [02:26] 19.10 comes with 5.3 [02:26] which kernel are oyu using, qwertuttyty [02:26] you have 5.3 i have 5.4 [02:27] 5.4.0 [02:27] how did you install it? [02:27] ubuntu kerenel 5.4.0 [02:28] qwertuttyty, This channel only supports the released kernels that are available in the package repository. If you have installed another kernel from source or other repository, you will need to seek out other support channels [02:29] qwertuttyty, what that means is that there is no documentation in the official ubuntu resources for the volunteers to utilize to answer your question. You might have better luck asking in ##linux or a kernel related channel. [02:33] ok [02:36] qwertuttyty, on a more generic level, the ability for your computer to identify a filesystem has nothing to do with a driver. Every file system has a "signature" to identify itself. That signature is part of a look up table that is independent of any drivers. [02:39] 99% in 5.4 exfat driver have. i dont know. Kernel 5.4.0 - ubuntu. I deleted exfat-fuse and see file system exfat on usb flash [02:42] qwertuttyty, perhaps this will help explain: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/244256 [02:50] quick question about ipsec [02:50] for some reason, conn sections in /etc/ipsec.conf don't... quite function the way one would expect, the only the first ever gets defined, additional conn sections are ignored [02:51] anyone know why this might be? [02:56] BrknMan, it might be because it is too generic and take precedence over the other definitions? [02:57] BrknMan, From the documentation, it also appears both sides have to mutually come to an agreement. Perhaps since that is the first in both, that is what they choose to use? [03:04] pragmaticenigma: both sides do, but that should be irrespective of the configuration, where each conn is named with a unique ID, I can have 'conn one' and futher down 'conn two', if I `ipsec up conn two` it will say there is no conn named conn two (no other connections are up at that time) [03:04] pragmaticenigma: if I comment out 'conn one' completely, conn two works just fine === jac0ber is now known as jacober [03:11] Oh, I got the usb drive cradle to work, and got the old drive migrated in- sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sda (it took a bit over 2 hours to push 60gb over usb 2.0) === Mrokii_ is now known as Mrokii === rickybob is now known as rickybot === rickybot is now known as rickybob [03:31] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/K2f4cYj6Kt/ [03:39] Hi, just asking, is it possible to install vcli on Ubuntu OS, to connecting vmware esxi 6.0 remotely?

[04:16] blueingress: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration [04:19] using sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration will change your keyboardlayout just for this session. [04:20] maybe some setting in file /etc/default/keyboard ? [04:21] actually sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration will set your keyboard layout not just for the current session. unless oyu have something in place that overwrites it. [04:22] goodness [04:23] /etc/default/keyboard is exactly managed by keyboard-configuration [04:24] see /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian for more details [04:25] ok, Thanks a lot, I am reading. [04:51] Hello. I have a few machines running Ubuntu 18.04.3 server, need to put them into a cluster so that I can use the cluster for some jobs I wish to run. [04:51] Need to know which software shall I use and any configuration guidelines? thanks [04:54] what kind of a cluster? [04:55] Well, I have some scripts that require computer power (shell scripts), and I was wondering if I could use a shared storage amongst the machines, and utilize the CPU + RAM of all machines to run the script faster [04:55] depends on the jobs you want to run. Are they parallelizable? [04:56] The script doesn't support running threads in parallel [04:56] I'm not there yet :) The work that needs to be done - can it be done in parallel? [04:56] some work can't. [04:58] I'm sorry, I didn't get you. The script analyzes files from a bunch of input directories, and saves the output files into an output dir. I wrote the script myself [04:58] not getting the "Can be done in parallel thing?" [04:58] the easiest way, I guess, is to share a common filesystem (using NFS, say) and split the input up into chunks, and assign each chunk to one server. [04:58] aberrant, that's what I've been doing, but it's all manual work, [04:58] write a script that does just that [04:58] well, some work is not parallelizable. Things like, I dunno, cipher block chaining, for example, where the output of one thing depends on the input of the previous thing. [04:59] if you're doing it manually then you can probably automate it [04:59] what EriC^^ said :) [04:59] aberrant, oh nothing like that, its a basic script, just trying to make it utilize all machines for one single job (if possible). The Job Scheduler/Executioner should do/manage the splitting of data etc. in chunks etc.... [05:00] otherwise you're looking at rewriting your scripts and at that point you might as well do something with a real parallel scheduler. [05:00] either way, this sounds like a programming question. [05:00] aberrant, :) I do like the idea though, script to run the script ("._.") [05:00] tomreyn, yes it does :) [05:00] you should absolutely use a script to run the script [05:01] I wonder if gnu parallel can help here. [05:01] I'll bet it can [05:02] better ask on the channel of the scripting language you're intending to parallize. [05:02] https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/ ... hmm at first glance, does look like the thing I'm looking for [05:02] yup, that's it [05:02] need to dig it .... thanks aberrant [05:02] sure. good luck [05:02] it's the swiss army knife of parallel scripting [05:02] tomreyn, thanks, I guess. I just thought some ubuntu package/suite was available [05:02] thanks all :) [05:02] apt install parallel :) [05:03] appreciate your help [05:03] might be gnu-parallel, but you get the idea :) [05:03] I do :) [05:04] Mr_Cyclops: also this might help [05:04] athost [05:04] #!/bin/sh [05:04] host=$(basename $0 | sed "s/^\@//g") [05:04] if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then ssh -q $host [05:04] else echo "running $* on $host" ssh -q $host -t "$SHELL -i -c \"$*\"" [05:05] man [05:05] that sucked. [05:06] ok, whatever. It's a nice script that when you symlink `@hostname` to it, you can just type `@hostname ` and it'll execute on that host. [05:06] I use it to do status checks on my cluster. [05:08] anyway - g'night and good luck [05:16] lol aberrant thanks again :) I got the idea :D === TheRedQueen is now known as Drone === Fudge is now known as Guest75415 [06:12] \leave [06:27] I'm using apt-get to install some packages on a VirtualBox VM running Ubuntu. I'd like to examine the APT configuration files for some packages, but I'm not sure about the easiest way to find them. Suggerstions? [07:31] So it turns out for me that kswapd was using a ton of CPU in the background. [07:39] however [07:39] ubuntu 19.10 keeps starting it up again [07:57] When I screen share using Zoom or Skype, and try to type or write/draw using a pen on any app like xournal or inkscape, there is a significant lag. This lag is there when using ubuntu based distro like lubuntu 19.10 or KDE Neon 18.04 or Mint 19.2 Cinnamon. This lag is there on the Machine Lenovo AIO 330 using linux (not there in Windows). This lag is not there on my different machine (Dell Inspiron 1525) using linux or windows. [08:08] sameepvicky, please don't paste the same question in multiple rooms === Leion1 is now known as Leion [08:13] ok guiverc, shall I modify the question with only that linux distro name? [08:48] why does this command not link the current directory (vedirect01) to /etc/service/vedirect01 ? (instead it creates dir vedirect01 in the current dir?) https://pastebin.com/CXS3c8hu [08:56] al_nz1: don't cross-post. The link probably already exists, so ln sees that the last argument is a directory, or a symlink pointing to an existing directory, so it creates the symlink inside that directory instead [09:03] geirha: thanks [09:40] I can't seem to find nightlight in ubuntu [09:40] it seems it's not installed?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [10:22] battery6, just ask your ubuntu question, wait and see [10:22] I see, i will lay it out then. [10:27] So first assume this, i have a script with an infinite loop for testing purposes. I start this script from my user without any sudo commands which should make it run in user space (maybe it does either way but thats not of importance). Then i want to check what priority the process have. I know of 3 ways to do this. Number one the command "ps -o pid,ni,pri *PID*" which generates a value of 19 as the priority. Number two, the [10:27] command "ps -l *PID*" which generates a value of 80 as the priority. Number 3 top/htop which shows me a value of 20 as the priority. Now for the question. Why do it get 3 different values when checking the same process in different ways? [10:30] I have also noticed that the command "ps -o pri_baz" gives a value of 120 which to me seems to be the real priority of the process from the kernel point of view. I just cant see the connection between all of this approaches and why they differ in result. [10:32] battery6: if you search for priority in the proc manpage you can find explanations for all three numbers [10:32] Thank you, i will read and return if i find anything still unclear to me. [10:52] spello [10:52] i have an ancient laptop with "yakkety" in sources.list [10:52] is it possible to upgrade it? [10:54] talin, i don't think so...

[11:53] I have 1 SSD on this system [11:54] no, not your active ubuntu partitions, they need to be unmounted to do so [11:54] so, boot live iso and fix it that way, but i would start fresh,m windows first [11:55] .. and you would have some days left for windows 7 support, just saying [11:56] I am not worrying about that, windows is not my concern [11:56] just need to run 1 application [11:56] put it in KVM/Virtualbox?

[16:19] But it sure does look like something was mounted shortly. [16:22] hm... a lot of audits follows. [16:22] for snap.opera.com [16:22] Maybe Snap makes a virtual drive? [16:23] Trying to install python3-venv, but it's part of another package....which package? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [16:30] rapidwave: python3-venv is a package available from the universe repository [16:35] mr_lou, snap makes loop devices, iirc, but it shouldn't show up as a USB [16:36] mr_lou, what is sdc? Does it exist? [16:37] Might be interesting to do lsblk when the device is there.

[17:17] I was getting a similar error but complaining about the wifi firmware and disabling the wifi fixed it but I got that new error about `/lib/firmware/netronome/nic/nic_AMDA0081-0001_1x40.nffw.dpkg-new [17:18] Habbie, will check. [17:18] How do I get pip to use Python3? [17:18] I already set alias for python to use python3 [17:18] rapidwave, let's take one step back - what are you trying to do with pip? [17:19] I [17:19] I'm trying to setup a virtual env using python3 and install django [17:19] if the virtualenv is set up with python3, pip in the virtualenv will use python3 [17:19] Hi, I have just moved from 18.04 to 19.04 and some devices don't work anymore. I'm tring to figure it out but on kernel 5 the verbose level is lower and dmesg is clean. Any idea on how to troubleshoot? [17:19] Habbie, nothing weird, some snap messages. [17:19] Ahh [17:19] if the virtualenv is not set up with python3, you need to delete the virtualenv and make it again [17:19] gerep, don't know then, sorry [17:19] Also, I need to install python3-venv, but while it's referred to by a package, the package doesn't exist [17:20] rapidwave: You can verify by typing python --version to make sure it's python3. [17:20] Habbie, No problem =) [17:20] rapidwave, 'python3 -mvenv my-venv-dir' should be all you need [17:20] rapidwave: also which pip will tell you the path to the pip it would run. [17:20] rapidwave, don't know about ubuntu, but in debian, python3-venv is an empty package that just depends on python3 [17:21] rapidwave, also, your alias from python to python3 could break things; i suggest removing it [17:23] Habbie, found the problem, I am using Sophos antivirus and disabling its on-demand scan fixed the problem. sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savdctl disable [17:23] gerep, ah! [17:25] hitech95: Ubuntu 19.04 will be EOL next month. [17:27] leftyfb I know thats why i moved from 18.04 to 19.04 and then my idea was to move to 19.10. But now i'm stuck. Looks like kernel 5.X is having some issues with my hardware and some modules don't print debug strings anymore. so I have no idea on where the problem is! [17:28] hitech95: what hardware is failing to function that is disallowing you to upgrade to 19.10? [17:28] hitech95: btw, 18.04 is supported until 2023 [17:28] Touchpad, touchsreen. [17:28] Yea I know that it is LTS I was hoping to upgrade to solve some hwdecoding issue I'm facing === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [17:30] hitech95: do you have a keyboard? [17:30] leftyfb, yea [17:30] hitech95: then a touchscreen is not necessary to upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10 [17:31] leftyfb yea but I wont that my hw works correctly not having half og the peripherals working. And so far i don't have tested other stuff. Hope audio works too. [17:32] The problem looks related to the kernel 5.x.x [17:32] hitech95: getting anything working in 19.04 is completely pointless if the plan is to upgrade to 19.10 immediately (it should be ) [17:33] At this point my idea was to troubleshoot the problem of kernel 5.x.x and keep the LTS. (Also 18.04 with bakported kenel 5 have the same issues) [17:34] hitech95: ok, then re-install 18.04 [17:35] leftyfb, yup. But I still want to figure out where the problem is. Why if i set the kenel log level to 7 and I remove/load a module that is printing on module init nothing comes out to the dmesg? === STMelon is now known as MelMalik [17:39] how do you tell it is related to kernel 5.x ? === MelMalik is now known as GoDaddy === GoDaddy is now known as STMelon [17:42] OerHeks, I have installed kernel 5 some month ago on 18.04 and I was facing the same issues. I revert back to 4.17.x. Ubuntu 19 is shipped with kernel 5.X. [17:45] maybe 5.2.x in 19.10 performs better .. dunno if i should ask what issues [17:48] OerHeks, no its something that has broken somewhere between 4.17 and 5.0.0. Also IIO stuff is not loaded anymore. [17:53] Is the kernel built with the DEBUG flag? [18:02] hitech95: grep CONFIG_DEBUG /boot/config-$(uname -r) === STMelon is now known as MelMalik [18:10] Seveas, yeas it has been built with teh debug verbose. No idea why some modules fails withou any error. [19:24] Hi, I'm having a problem when booting Ubuntu with live media: it is mounting all swap partitions automatically, making dd operations fail. Is there a way to make the live media boot without enabling any swap partitions? [19:26] FurretUber, not sure, but you can just run 'swapoff -a' [19:29] booting with "noswap" may also work [19:29] !bootparam [19:30] !kernelparm [19:30] To add a one-time or permanent kernel boot parameter see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters [19:56]
