[00:00] I have an odd problem after migrating my home directory from a Fedora 27 Mate system to a new Ubuntu 18.04 Mate system. It doesn't think it has a valid window manager. It also puts the primary display on my left monitor instead of the right. [00:01] I have upgraded from 18.04 to 19.04 using the Software Updater GUI and now have two problems. First, my wifi doesn't work because the iwlwifi module won't install due to no suitable firmware. I can ignore this for now and hope it's fixed in 19.10, which leads to my next problem. Software Updater offers an upgrade to 19.10 which silently fails, and from the command line I can see that it complains "Please [00:01] install all available updates for your release before upgrading.". Software Updater says there are no updates to install. `apt update` says one package is upgradable, and `apt list --upgradable` says "libsnmp30/disco-updates 5.7.3+dfsg-5ubuntu1.2 amd64 [upgradable from: 5.7.3+dfsg-1.8ubuntu3.3]" but `apt upgrade` says that package is kept back. Manual attempts in install/update libsnmp30 lead to an unmet [00:01] dependency on libsensors5 which depends on libsensors-config which conflicts libsensors4 which a whole bunch of gnome packages have in their dependency tree. [00:01] So I change it with Mate Tweak, and the window manager gets loaded and all is good. Until I log out. [00:02] Hey, I do know that newest ubuntu's requirements regarding RAM is about 4gb, but now I only want to *install* it, from bootable usb, using a PC with 2gb, is this possible? I mean, I've been now waiting an hour for it to even start, I only see a logo and those 5 dots flashing. [00:02] Install it on a disk, which will later go to a better computer. [00:02] And using the Control Center, I change the primary display. It changes, but again when I logout and back in, it reverts to the left. [00:03] I mean, I want to prepare an ubuntu disk, working system, that is all. And then the disk will go to a machine with 16 GB. [00:07] Something is preventing the changes from being remembered. Thoughts? [00:10] if I forcibly remove libsnmp30 then try do-release-upgrade then pkgProblemResolver tries to resolve broken dependencies and ends up wanting to uninstall a bunch of stuff [00:12] Ok, past the grub kernel options, what do I need to disable/change so I can see the rest of the console output during boot [00:17] "Remove: gnome-control-center hplip simple-scan ubuntu-desktop-minimal" is this expected with an upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10? [00:17] gnome-control-center sounds important [00:20] I can't transfer files from my PC to my phone. What might be the problem? What should I do to fix that? [00:26] Robert74: usb, bluetooth, some other connection? [00:27] USB. Previously it worked fine. Now (after installing 19.10) it doesn't. [00:33] just realized that this take resource intensively https://bpaste.net/OY3A ... anyone here with this update-secureboot-policy process? [00:36] looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1799279 [00:36] Launchpad bug 1827697 in dkms (Ubuntu Eoan) "duplicate for #1799279 Enroll key whiptail prompt blocks kernel header package upgrades" [High,Fix released] [00:38] How can I figure out what my issue is with transferring files? [00:38] The phone does not appear in File Manager [00:40] Robert74: does `dmesg` show anything at the bottom when you plug or unplug the phone? [00:40] is the phone unlocked before connecting? [00:40] or `tail -f /var/log/syslog` which you can leave running in a terminal while you experiment [00:41] does the phone start charging? [00:42] yes [00:42] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/h9t8KzZMbg/ [00:43] That is what happens when I plug it to the PC and choose "Transfer files" instead of "Charge the device" [00:46] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pDjcdkNDvR/ [00:48] @OerHeks, yes, it is unlocked [00:48] checking the link OerHeks [00:50] redmi 4? [00:50] or 5? [00:50] Redmi Note 5A [00:55] seems like a trouble maker, how did you get it working in your previous ubuntu? [00:56] this one? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085575/unable-to-connect-to-mtp-device [00:56] No, not this. Mine isn't 5 Pro. Mine is 5A. [00:57] It just worked in Xubuntu 19.04. Then I tried installing Xubuntu Core 19.10 via netinst. I think I may not have some packages / libs or something like that. [00:57] I've chosen Xubuntu minimal installation [00:58] oh, no upgrade? [00:58] I didn't upgrade it. I just reinstalled it. [00:58] and a special way of installation .. [00:59] Is there some peer to peer way of transferring files between two ubuntu laptops without involving a wifi hub? Bluetooth or wifi? [01:14] Robert74, how about just reinstall xubuntu-desktop* [01:15] and that mtp package stuff, that must be uninstalled too with core/minimal [01:15] It will bring many unnecessary apps & packages :( [01:29] Robert74: gvfs-backends? ' apt show gvfs-backends '-verify it is installed: ' dpkg-l gvfs-backends' . [01:29] Any decent bluetooth utilities in ubuntu? CLI or graphical [01:30] I just tried installing it, but nothing happened. I'll try rebooting PC to see if it helps. [01:34] decent? no, the standard tools work fine. [01:39] Just found it [01:44] Thank you SO much! :) installing gvfs-backends and rebooting helped me indeed! It was so easy, why didn't I guess to do it myself :) :) :) [01:45] Robert74: :D Good job ! ^ no substitute for experience.

I'm having trouble with the current version of bluez (5.50). And, I wish to downgrade it to 5.48, but, when I try "sudo apt install blues=5.48", it says that the version was not found for package blues. Is there a way I can get it installed? [06:14] *bluez [06:14] mohnish_: we strongly reccomend to use package versions, meant for your specific ubuntu version [06:14] mohnish_: wich ubuntu version are you on? [06:14] 19.10 [06:15] !info bluez eoan [06:15] bluez (source: bluez): Bluetooth tools and daemons. In component main, is optional. Version 5.50-0ubuntu4 (eoan), package size 918 kB, installed size 4598 kB [06:16] But, there seems to be a bug in it. I asked here earlier about that bug, unfortunately I couldn't get help. That is why I wish to downgrade [06:16] mohnish_: do you have the bug ID for it please? [06:16] um, let me search for it [06:16] tnx [06:22] lotuspsychje: I'm sorry, I can't find the bug ID [06:23] Why is it not recommended to downgrade? [06:23] mohnish_: if you want to start testing/debugging reccomended to install another version of ubuntu with the bluez version that comes with it [06:23] mohnish_: when you mix package versions on apt, your system will result into dependency issues [06:24] Oh [06:24] mohnish_: for higher versions one can try !backports or snaps [06:25] So, is there a way I can downgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I'm a novice to linux and would like to go for the LTS [06:25] mohnish_: i see there's a bluez 5.47-3 snap too, you can try if you like [06:25] mohnish_: no, downgrading ubuntu releases is also not done [06:27] you mean, it cannot be done? [06:28] mohnish_: its not how it works yeah [06:28] oh, okay [06:29] Let me try 5.47-3. I'll see if it works [06:30] mohnish_: im curious, whats your bug about exactly? [06:31] When I try to scan using blueman, [06:31] it says dbus.error.noreply [06:31] It cannot scan my phone, and my phone cannot scan my pc [06:31] mohnish_: on gnome? [06:32] MATE [06:32] mohnish_: you might want to also talk with the #ubuntu-mate guys then [06:32] Oh, okay [06:32] maybe someone has seen that error [06:33] oh, okay [06:33] on gnome you can choose between built-in bluetooth or installing blueman [06:34] not sure how mate handles it [06:35] I can't get my computer to sleep I get "refuses to freeze" and it says something about wq_busy=0 [06:35] lotuspsychje, When I try to install 5.47-3, it says the version was not found for bluez [06:36] mohnish_: sudo snap install bluez [06:36] =5.47-3? [06:37] thats the version it will install [06:39] okay, so should I do, "sudo snap install bluez=5.47-3"? [06:39] no [06:40] without "=5.47-3", right? [06:40] yes [06:40] ok [06:44] hi all hoping s1 could help me-getting this when using Gedit [06:44] Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::gedit-spell-language not supported [06:44] https://pastebin.com/metmgm81 [06:45] wanting to be able to click save and close the file made by pasting from firefox to a gedit file [06:48] Hello, I am using Ubuntu 19.10 (earlier tried 18,04.3) on my Dell Latitude E7440, the only 1 problem is the Erratic Alps Touchpad. Tried pretty much everything from the internet, but just doesn't work. Please help, tx [06:51] update all sorted if works will post [06:59] help [06:59] how do i create a recovery usb [06:59] my system boots up and i have no control over the mouse or keyboard [06:59] I installed an app called run_scaled and it all went to shit after that [07:05] pi0 hold shift during boot, pick a number;a time when it all worked(earlier date).boot up then google ubuntu bup 'options' [07:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [07:07] what would cause a mouse to freeze? [07:08] you mean boot from an ealier version of kernel? [07:11] Or boot into terminal mode only and uninstall that app. [07:11] Maybe you can still switch to terminal with ctrl+alt+FX at the login screen. [07:14] pi0, yup to an earlier kernel i meant, but i am by no means an expert with linux [07:14] arg [07:14] i am able to boot into the machine [07:14] as soon as i enter my username and passsword [07:14] it freezes [07:15] fudge! [07:15] restart shift choose kernel report back errors [07:16] any reason you cant fresh install [07:16] eg i have no bups [07:16] that is my plan but i have school project on there and i cant loose it :/ [07:17] going to try the restart, were is the report back errors located? [07:18] no physical location just let me know whether it works and tell if it does the same thing or if it logs back in [07:18] an ur mse is usable [07:18] shit stop [07:19] i am in recovery menu [07:19] dont want u to delete file dont proceed [07:20] could try memtest [07:23] hmm [07:24] how about running ubuntu live from a usb, then browsing to the file you need to save and saving elsewhere like on another usb or cloud service [07:24] then fresh installing [07:24] and carrying on as normal [07:25] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/446816/ubuntu-16-04-lts-mouse-keyboard-doesnt-work-at-login-screen-and-then-freeze [07:25] this is the issue [07:25] doesnt teach you how to fix issue but gets u where u wanna be worse case [07:29] Boot on a live USB and copy the files you need from the disk then do a clean reinstall, seems the easiest/fastest. [07:29] im with akemhp [07:30] how do i mount the directories [07:30] from the comp [07:30] ikolov@ubuntu-ivan:~$ inxi -F [07:30] System: Host: ubuntu-ivan Kernel: 5.5.0-050500rc4-lowlatency x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Gnome 3.34.1 [07:30] Distro: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) [07:30] use a gui or a terminal with mount and read man mount [07:31] have you got a working terminal [07:31] machine in question [07:32] pi0, Something like "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" to mount it to "/mnt", use "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" to list the partitions. [07:34] thank you [07:34] that is the best thing to do [07:34] i am toast [07:34] i have spent all day for a solution on this [07:35] i will try that tomorrow [07:35] thank you for the suggestion! [07:35] Np. [07:35] and now i really need to figure out how to create a recovery method [07:35] that i can go back to when it goes bad [07:36] pi0: Use a separate /home partition and backup regularly. That's it. [07:36] brb [07:36] will be [07:36] will do [07:38] déjà-dup [07:38] elias_a, You can backup your home regularly without having a separate /home partition. [07:39] I don't really see the advantage of having a separate home partition. [07:55] ubuntu freezes completly after i login [07:55] even the numlock freezes [07:55] however when i boot into windows everything works [07:55] im dual booting ubuntu 18.04 and windows 10 [08:07] AugustusCaesar24, Did you try ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 at login screen to switch to terminal? [08:08] i did but i couldnt login for some reason [08:08] my same username and password wasnt working [08:08] im currently in recovery mode trying to see what i can do [08:10] i think its a driver issue [08:10] I see, maybe your keyboard mapping was wrong? If it's not qwerty. Did you install that program named "run_scaled" too and/or "winswitch/xpra"? [08:11] because my mouse does freeze at times and i use the sudo apt-get reinstall xorg mouse for it to work again [08:11] i dont think so [08:11] the hardware works when i boot into windows [08:11] it cant be the hardware [08:12] Maybe you can try Xorg instead of Wayland at login, see if it makes any changes. [08:13] what should i run [08:13] You need to click the little gear icon at login. But if your mouse is frozen at boot time it will be complicated of course. [08:14] AugustusCaesar24, Is it a laptop computer? [08:14] yep [08:14] The touchpad is locked too? [08:14] yep [08:14] I mean you tried with/without USB mouse? [08:15] I see. [08:15] i tried going to recovery mode and after i tried somethings i would hit resume and it would freeze there until i press the powerbutton and then it shuts down [08:15] im not sure whats going on there [08:21] Well i'm not sure what you can do either...But if you can switch to terminal it means its not frozen, now; that you can't login with your IDs is another issue...What i would do is reintall...But maybe someone will know what else you can do. Good luck with that.

Otherwise, I believe it has dependencies with the KDE Desktop, which means to install it requires installing the KDE desktop environment with it. [13:15] pragmaticenigma: yes i have kde desktop installed [13:15] ws2k3: So are you running Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [13:16] pragmaticenigma: ubuntu. but i installed kde on it [13:17] ws2k3: Do you have any additional PPAs installed other than the repositories that were included by deafult? Often, a message like that is because of a package conflict due to installing PPAs for other software [13:17] nope no additial ppa's [13:18] ws2k3, you might need pulseaudio-module-gconf in -proposed [13:18] ws2k3: How did you install KDE? Did you use the meta package "sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop" ?? [13:20] yes i ran apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [13:21] ws2k3: that package should have installed with the kubuntu-desktop meta package [13:22] pulseaudio-module-gconf : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4) but 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 is to be installed [13:22] Depends: pulseaudio (= 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4) [13:22] pulseaudio is already the newest version (1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5). [13:23] ws2k3, you might need pulseaudio-module-gconf in -proposed [13:23] ws2k3: Looks like you have some pending updates... try "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" to see if there are any pending updates [13:23] ioria: what do you mean with that [13:23] pragmaticenigma: already did. no pending changes [13:24] ws2k3, you need to enable the -proposed repository if you want to install plasma-pa [13:24] ioria: I'm not sure I understand why you're recommending the -proposed update channel... the package they want should be in the main/update channels [13:25] pragmaticenigma, normally, yes, not in this case [13:25] ioria: Could you please exemplify the reasoning? [13:25] pragmaticenigma, there is a mismatching [13:26] pragmaticenigma, if you are on 18.04, just run 'apt -s install plasma-pa' [13:27] ioria: it's already installed on my machine and I'm fairly certain I have not activated -proposed [13:27] then i get pulseaudio-module-gconf : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4) but 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 is to be installed [13:28] pragmaticenigma, i guess you're on kubuntu then [13:29] ioria: I installed via mini.iso ... then installed kubuntu-desktop [13:30] pragmaticenigma, can you check your pulseaudio-module-gconf version ? [13:30] yes that would be nice [13:31] the point is pulseaudio0, btw [13:31] ioria: version 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 [13:31] pragmaticenigma, right [13:32] !info pulseaudio-module-gconf bionic [13:32] pulseaudio-module-gconf (source: pulseaudio): GConf module for PulseAudio sound server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 (bionic), package size 22 kB, installed size 160 kB [13:32] thats odd :P [13:32] pragmaticenigma, but bionic has 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 [13:32] pragmaticenigma, 7.5 is in proposed [13:32] ioria: pragmaticenigma im on bionic and i dont get 7.4 [13:32] yet I don't have proposed enabled [13:32] !info pulseaudio-module-gconf bionic-proposed [13:32] pulseaudio-module-gconf (source: pulseaudio): GConf module for PulseAudio sound server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.5 (bionic-proposed), package size 22 kB, installed size 160 kB [13:33] is it possibly in universe or multiverse?

[13:37] ws2k3, to be synthetic wait for updates, or use -proposed [13:37] brb [13:37] odd when i run apt-get install apt-get install libpulse0=1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 it try's to remove kde [13:38] ws2k3: Question: Is this a brand new installation? [13:38] pragmaticenigma: no. i think 7 months old [13:38] pragmaticenigma: i also had gnome installed [13:40] ws2k3: Personally, I've never had luck with KDE being installed after the fact. I'm not sure how I ended up with the newer version of the package (maybe it was included with mythbuntu's repo.) If this was a brand new install that you did today, I'd recommend starting over and installing KDE from the beginning [13:41] ws2k3: Otherwise, it looks like you need to enable the -proposed repo (which I don't personally like) to resolve the package conflict [13:44] the proposed repo/ppa can be dangerous, especially if it isn't removed before the next package upgrade [13:55] why does my ubuntu shows command not found when i use sudo , and otherwise it works fine [13:57] jackhum: what is the full command? [13:58] pragmaticenigma, sudo cargo install somepackagename [13:59] pragmaticenigma, i installed the package, but when i run it using packagename , then it gives me some permission error , but when i do sudo packagename , it just gives me command not found [14:00] jackhum: unfortunately I'm not familiar with "rust" or "cargo" [14:00] pragmaticenigma, okay thanks for trying, but i think this problem is more because of env and path messing up instead of rust [14:01] jackhum, add your username to the sudo group [14:04] BluesKaj, but wouldnt it mess with my current state of system , and will be like not good for my system level security [14:07] jackhum: I don't believe their is any adverse impact by having your username associated with the sudo group. Unless you made changes to the way sudo works, by default the command sudo requires the user to enter their password prior to any action being executed [14:07] jackhum, if you're already in the sudo group, then some other permissions problem exists, normally your username is added to sudo during installation [14:08] jackhum: how did you install cargo? Maybe it's only in your users path [14:18] guys im running two unbutuns inside as vms... one gettin 140/10 mbits other 140/3 ... any idea why 7 mbits are somehwere gettin lost? [14:19] the installer is asking me if I want to install ubuntu ALONGSIDE windows boot manager, do I say yes to that or do I resize the partitions myself? [14:19] i am not executing speed test in parallel ... just first vm then second [14:19] (I've also heard that windows doesnt have a bootloader under uefi so im a little confused) [14:20] any idea what issue is with network interface? [14:20] also one ubuntu has eth0 other enp0s3 [14:20] BluesKaj, should i reinstall rust and cargo ? [14:20] jackhum: how did you install cargo? Maybe it's only in your users path [14:21] holla what is the command to get my current ubuntu build number [14:21] ubuntu specifically [14:21] heap_: I would check the virtual network card/drivers you used in the VM guest settings [14:21] i want to stop an app from upgrading to a specific version of it when i do app upgrade [14:21] MJCD: cat /etc/issue [14:21] how would i do that?

[14:22] jackhum, sorry I have no idea [14:22] jackhum: then that is why. root doesn't have it in it's path. You'll have to seek support from cargo/rust for that installation. [14:23] leftyfb: how can i cehck it? [14:23] heap_: look in the settings for each VM guest. Look at the network settings and compare them [14:23] there is basicaly eth0 [14:23] leftyfb, i think i should reinstall it with sudo ? [14:23] heap_: in the VM software you are using. Not in ubuntu [14:23] the settings are almost the same .. .its bhyve [14:23] jackhum: sudo apt install cargo [14:24] jackhum: after removing the install you did using curl (seek support rom frust/cargo for that) [14:29] if what i want to not upgrade to is 10.4.3 ad it's 'jellyfin/unknown 10.4.3-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 10.4.2-1]" im not exactly sure what to add for "Package: firefox-3.0 Pin: release n=hardy Pin-Priority: -10" [14:33] aivit: Since jellyfin is not provided in any official Ubuntu repositories, you will have to ask the maintainer of the software/PPA for the package name [14:34] ok [14:34] aivit: you can set your PPA to a higher priority [14:37] aivit: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/SBNYjSS4cB/ [14:39] thanks [14:39] leftyfb, i think rustup toolchain include cargo already, i dont see any reason why should i use sudo apt install cargo seperately [14:40] jackhum: because you are having issues with the manual method and don't know how to fix it? [14:40] jackhum: you should install applications from the official ubuntu repositories unless you know what you're doing. [14:40] Heya. So I would like to check out beegfs on 18.04, but it's not something that's available in the regular package repos. Beegfs themselves say that they have packages for it ubuntu but https://www.beegfs.io/release/beegfs_7_1/dists/ does not have any ubuntu dists as possible candidates. Are they expecting us to use the debian packages for ubuntu given their "Debian 8/9 (and Ubuntu)" description of what they have packages for? [14:40] jackhum: either way, we cannot support the method you chose [14:40] so get the origin from them, leftyfb ? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kCwQkGcnHn/ [14:41] aivit: put the url for the ppa in there [14:43] which one of these is the spa leftyfb https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y9TSZwdThH/ [14:43] aivit: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list [14:44] I've made a "casper-rw" ext4 partition sda2 on a liveUSB and an empty sda1 burned a Bionic image with dd, but when I boot on it a blinking cursor appears and never stops, is it a wrong way to create a LiveUSB with dd? [14:45] yes, live usb + persistence, use mkusb for that. https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/03/create-persistent-storage-live-usb-with.html [14:46] including bionic main leftyfb https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/RMXqJyR2mN/ ? [14:46] Ether_Man: You will have to contact the maintainer of those packages directly. Support is only available here for packages that are provided in the official Ubuntu software repositories. [14:47] What's wrong with dd exactly? Some people burn images with it, is the issue occuring because of the casper partition OerHeks? [14:47] courrier: Also, the ubuntu disk images as provided are setup to support both installation from USB and being burned to optical media. Because of this, dd doesn't work well [14:48] dd is oke, it just writes a hybrid image, i think that conflicts with that sda2 you created, [14:49] do that persistence part with mkusb or manually after writing with dd ( i have no manual to do this manually) [14:50] selamlar [14:50] <[Tahini]> is there a way to check logs for CPU spikes? I've been plagued for years by CPU spikes / system freezes, and frankly I've had enough. Most of the times the system becomes unresponsive and I need to restart it, so I cannot check the logs while the spikes happen [14:50] I'll try mksub. I wisehd I could do it with no additional ppa [14:52] !journalctl [14:52] journalctl is a command for viewing logs collected by systemd-journald. E.g. "journalctl -f" reports system messages as they are logged until you press Ctrl+C. See the journalctl !man page for other options.

Meaning you won't see the XFCE taskbar and interface. instead you will work with the i3 system instead [15:06] mohnish: the instructions are making it so you can easily reverse this decision later, should you decide that i3 window manager isn't worknig for you [15:06] OerHeks: mkusb complains bcause I'm running EFI: dus-persistent 12.3.8 cannot install the package 'grub-pc' [15:06] when running in installed systems in UEFI mode.

[15:30] the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is not static, iirc [15:30] that is why the xorg.conf.d folder is invented [15:31] unless you use nvidia-settings or another software which touches it, /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be static IMO [15:34] I believe tomreyn is correct. Ubuntu doesn't create the xorg.conf file, therefore, I don't believe it is modified by any of the tools Ubuntu uses to manage Xdisplays. It should be safe to save to /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... though the newer preferred method is to add to the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ path [15:57] my debian (or unix?) schooled expectation would be that /usr is the domain of the OS, where software and OS specific configurations / defaults are deployed. and that you can always configure things in /etc, and in fact you should, since /usr (except for /usr/local) is really the operating systems' domain (read: only packages should write there normally). [15:58] i don't know whether Xorg deviates from this now (does it?), AFAIk you still can and actually should configure it in /etc/Xorg [16:00] According to the documentation here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config ... /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the preferred way for users to continue defining their configurations [16:01] I want it to be static, and behave as if there is three monitors even if only one is powered on [16:02] ericus: That would depend on your monitors. If they disassociated from the controller when they're powered off, Xserver is going to reconfigure to the remaining displays. [16:03] ericus: There is no way around that. In the case you presented, the issue would be users not knowing where an application window went to when a display is no longer attached to the system [16:04] well at least to make the display reappear on the right side when turned on again [16:04] again, not possible [16:04] So they will always be arranged in the order 1 2 3? [16:05] not 2 1 3 as I would prefer? [16:06] ericus: I don't know the logic behind how a monitor is assigned its enumeration. Usually it's done based on the enumeration of the ports on the display adapter or the heiarchy of the PCI bus slots. [16:06] how can I get rid of the annoying middle mouse paste option ?

But I'm blocked, if I define one swap partition by hand [16:58] and then define one LUKS partition he don't allow me because the swap is outside of luks. How to config a swap with the size I want and using luks as well ? [17:01] echosmile: if you're going to keep swap for hibernation outside of your LUKS volume, then don't bother encrypting [17:02] leftyfb sure, but I don't want outside. My question is how to config luks with a swap with a size set by me [17:03] echosmile: create your LUKS volume, then create your partitions on top of that [17:03] Hello there, good morning [17:03] sorry ... create an LVM volume on top of LUKS, then create partitions in the LVM [17:03] leftyfb can I do it on ubuntu default installation ?

[20:22] Things are fine now but the laptop is going kinda south so just for staying safe etc [20:22] karnhack, for AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U w/ Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx i would suggest install 19.10, with kernel 5.3 and such [20:23] pikapika, Typically a full disk copy if I recall. Personal preference is Clonezilla. [20:23] too new hardware [20:23] Missing drivers? [20:23] Hi all. Any success with Ext2fsd under Windows 10? Trying to mount ext3 partition, but Win10 says it can't recognize FS. [20:23] Well disk copy is kind of an undefined and ambiguous term [20:23] What does clonezilla actually copy? [20:23] For example I don't think it makes sense to copy /dev/ [20:24] Oh sorry. It copies partitions or disks. [20:24] Well it does [20:24] /dev isn't on the disk. [20:24] OerHeks: I tried. But it is much worse [20:24] I see [20:24] So like is it safe to just copy manually to a tar or something [20:24] and restore if from a live disk to a new laptop? [20:25] *it from a [20:25] pikapika: There are so many ways :) Have a look at "debfoster": ' apt show debfoster '. [20:25] (assuming say an external hdd to store it which I have) [20:26] Reinstalling packages is the least of my issues [20:26] I've personally haven't tried tar-balling any of my computers but a sure-fire method to return back from whatever you do to your computer is just clone your disk. [20:26] Okay but what does clonezilla actually do: a dd copy of the disk? [20:27] pikapika, It avoids dd if it can. Depending on filesystem, it'll attempt to copy where the data actually lives. [20:28] dd is used if there's no tool it has to efficiently clone a partition. [20:28] Derp [20:28] Filesystem. [20:28] Or...You get what I'm trying to say. [20:29] ok [20:29] So what you are saying is that I install clonezilla to a flashdrive and use it to make a backup onto an external hdd or something? [20:30] Does the restore only work on the same laptop and configuration or can it be done anywhere else? [20:30] Pretty much. It can also send it over the network if it's more convenient and you have the network capacity/time to do it. [20:30] well I do have an ethernet cable and another computer might consider it as an emergency option just in case [20:31] * pikapika hugs CarlenWhite [20:31] Thanks [20:31] That I can't be certain. It'll let you clone onto any disk that has the space (or if you force it) but it's a matter if the OS will have a fit. [20:32] My external hdd has more than enough free space [20:32] the problem however is if clonezilla understands ntfs [20:32] It does. [20:32] Good [20:35] I've used Clonezilla a handful of times and has treated me well when migrating Windows around. [20:35] Can anyone suggest the easiest way to make a custom "watchdog" for a process? I'm thinking something like a simple IF check (if X log hasn't been written, if process does not exist, if process is below X cpu) then run this command [20:38] OerHeks: how do I force the installation of the 5.3 kernel? [20:39] Doc-Saintly: systemd has some watchdog support, you make sd_notify calls regularly and it restarts you if you don't [20:39] there's some docs at http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/watchdog.html [20:40] karnhack, upgrade to 19.10, not sure HWE would bring 5.3 [20:40] !hwe [20:40] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [20:40] but you claim 19.10 is worse.. why? [20:41] tds: ok, thanks :) [20:43] OerHeks: the screen had too high a frequency. Sometimes strange pixels were seen due to refresh errors. Impossible to lower or raise the brightness etc. etc. [20:43] !info linux-virtual-hwe-18.04-edge bionic [20:43] linux-virtual-hwe-18.04-edge (source: linux-meta-hwe-edge): Minimal Generic Linux kernel and headers.

[20:44] better install 19.10 then [20:44] or testrun 20.04 beta [20:44] sorry [20:44] Live on the edge and hope for the best.

[20:51] @karnhack i think i watched a video on youtube, the guy had some problems with the Vega chip, i think it was Chris Titus Tech [20:51] I ran dmesg and can see a 30 sec gab here, and 20 sec there. it's takes 100 seconds to bood on a AMD 3400U on an allmost basic ubuntu.. but with Docker installed.. so my thought is with docked [20:53] Ok, thanks. I will try to reinstall 19.10. [20:54] I don't thik you have to re-install it [20:54] SenfMeister: Beter info: ' systemd-analyze blame '. [20:55] what if you uninstall and clean your system from all the graphic drivers and install them again? [20:55] Bashing-om: That don't give me much useful :( [20:55] Bashing-om, I was going to suggest journalctl -b but that's much more useful. [20:55] Oh [20:56] 20.825s plymouth-quit-wait.service 3.009s apt-daily-upgrade.service 2.098s NetworkManager-wait-online.service [20:56] CarlenWhite: Yup - useful also :) [20:57] but I can see it jumps from 9 secs to 39 to 41, to 44 to 78 to 89 to 99 [20:57] where it performes maybe a few lines and then waits [21:04] * CarlenWhite also learns of some other systemd tools. Like systemd-analyze plot that'll generate a SVG instead. [21:18] stupid question but isn't it possible to theme hexchat in ubuntu? installed the flatpak, put the theme files in .config/hexchat but nothing happens [21:20] oldominion, right, browse to ~/snap/hexchat, does it give the config folder too? [21:20] to keep snaps in confinement, this has changed IIRC [21:21] it is not a snap so it isn't there [21:21] oops, flatpack.. [21:22] maybe it is the same solution, no idea with those [21:22] snaps have the -classic option, to override this limit. [21:23] oldominion: according to https://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appearance.html you unzip the .hct theme files to the ~/.config/hexchat folder <--- as opposed to simply dumping the .hct files in the hexchat folder [21:23] usually it should work with the .config/hexchat i mean it is there but hexchat just doesn't change, maybe they did it a little bit different with flatpak [21:23] oldominion: we cannot support applications installed with flatpack here [21:23] that is what i did @bprompt [21:23] oldominion: also, should be done with hexchat closed [21:23] bprompt, that would be true for apt, maybe that flatpak is in confinement too [21:23] yeah i will try it as a snap now [21:24] so brb ;) [21:24] oldominion: the .deb version in ubuntu 18.04 is 2.14.1. The snap is 2.14.2. You a better off installing the .deb version [21:38] okay just tried the snap of hexchat, didn't work with the themes but there was a 3rd package in the software manager and with this one it worked, weird [21:39] oldominion: the .deb version in ubuntu 18.04 is 2.14.1. The snap is 2.14.2. You a better off installing the .deb version === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [21:41] the one i installed now which works has the source as "ubuntu-eoan-universe" [21:41] i am on 19.10 ubuntu right now [22:25] Anyone have any suggestions on how to connect to a samba server with NT1 disabled from nautilus on ubuntu 16.04 === Telvana is now known as Baudtistic === Baudtistic is now known as Telvana [23:01] Trying to install a desktop ubuntu for the first time in a long while. Weird error, boots, and gives me the UI login screen, but when I type my correct password, it dumps me back to the 'pick a user' screen, instead of logging me in. [23:01] How do I figure out what's going on there? [23:02] an incorrect password correctly prompts to that fact and lets me try again [23:05] trying a reinstall without the 3rd party drivers, maybe nvidia didn't install smoothly? [23:05] cschneid: Graphic's issue ? try with the "nomodeset" boot parameter and advise results. [23:05] !nomodeset | cschneid [23:05] cschneid: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:06] the display initializes ok it seems, shows me the UI login prompt. Would it crash after? [23:07] cschneid: I have seen cases of such, yes. Though that is not definitive. [23:08] Ok, and getting into grub looks like 'hold shift'? [23:09] cschneid: IF efi system - it is the escape key that grub looks for - spamm it as soon as the firm ware screen clears. [23:11] hey guys, are you using the regular terminal in ubuntu or is there one which is better/looks better? [23:11] oldominion: depending on which desktop environment you are using, you should be able to customize your terminal emulator [23:14] ton of options in settings, fancy theme, opacity [23:15] i am using Gnome on ubuntu 19.10 (just switched to Linux a few days ago and love it) and have seen some nice looking transparent blurry terminal screenshots [23:15] the regular terminal only lets me change the opacity [23:15] not the blurriness [23:15] reinstalled w/o the 3rd party drivers, and loaded fine. So probably something w/ nvidia driver there. [23:16] whe i installed ubuntu i had some problems with the 435 driver, changed to 430 driver and everything is fine [23:16] when* [23:16] for nvidia [23:17] cschneid: Now we can try and install the proprietary driver, if you feelthe need. "nomodeset" should no longer be needed. show ' cat /proc/cmdline' . [23:18] @Bashing-om now that you say it, I had to "nomodeset" to install ubuntu, what does it actually do, does it only turn off the graphic drivers at boot? [23:19] oldominion: Much much more;as Kernel Mode Setting is disabled ! [23:20] so do i have to enable it again? I see no errors or so atm [23:20] and everything is working fine [23:21] oldominion: Well, depends a lot on the hardware - ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is also affected. [23:24] oldominion: FYI I too some time back had to run with nomeset - as there was no driver for that then new nvidia card. No issues seen then either :) [23:24] and then install nvidia drivers and it's stable and fine. Weird! [23:24] Thank you for the help Bashing-om [23:24] nomodeset* [23:24] it was only for the installation because it looked like this: https://i.imgur.com/f4k3cpS.jpg [23:25] cschneid: :D Help is what we do ... are you out of the woods now ? [23:25] hey! been googleing for a while witout finding a solution [23:25] AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (12) @ 3.400GH - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 is the hardware. [23:26] and with nomodeset everything went fine [23:26] am i not doing this right? [23:26] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/y5jFZj2zx8/ [23:26] I got a litle java server running, running on a ubuntu server (on a rp3). Is there a way for me to attach to the running server, so that I can query it etc via ssh? [23:26] Bashing-om: yep, at the desktop. I have a fair bit of ubuntu on a server experience, but haven't done a desktop linux in a long time. [23:26] So as soon as I get SSH setup to allow me to fix issues from the outside, I should be all good :) [23:27] oldominion: Yup - graphic's driver. Though I can now install a nvidia driver, I run just fine with the open source "nouveau" driver. [23:28] cschneid: :D Fine one that you are.
