[00:14] <MrSassyPants> grml-rescueboot doesn't boot when the system is booted in uefi mode
[01:32] <DayZen> Good evening, have a question. I have a dedicated server from ovh.com and also purchased an IP block of 4. When i attempt to add the ip with netplan i dont even show a config file at all for it, does anyone know how to add a 2nd ip address to box? Running ubuntu 18.04
[01:33] <tatertots> you'll probably need to consult the OVH administration documentation
[01:35] <DayZen> I did, they said its an issue with ubuntu itself thats why i came here..i know you guys are no way associated with ovh or anything like that lol
[01:36] <DayZen> going to try reinstalling netplan and see if it fixes it :\
[01:37] <tatertots> is it already using 1of4 ?
[01:39] <DayZen> Yes
[02:02] <tatertots> Ubuntu desktop edition or server edition is being used ?
[02:03] <tatertots> if ovh supplied the image the site should indicate not only the version but also the edition of the image deployed
[03:15] <elgOOOg> hi e1-are there circumstances in which an updated (the distro-excluding hardware) ubuntu 18.04 distro desktop could be infected, should i be worried about infection,can only find info on antivirus for servers
[03:16] <lotuspsychje> elgOOOg: always keep your system up to date, and stay 'sane' on the internet
[03:16] <lotuspsychje> !security | elgOOOg start here
[03:17] <elgOOOg> thanks
[03:17] <lotuspsychje> elgOOOg: if you want to experiment with scanning your system, try: clamav, rkhunter, lynis,nmap,..
[03:26] <MrSassyPants> Found the problem is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1851311
[03:32] <Sven_vB> my SSH connection between two xenial machines on my LAN stalls at key exchange. wireshark on the server sees "Key exchange init", then a TCP retransmission for which it did not capture the previous segment. does that make any sense? any ideas how to fix it with software? it works if I use a better quality LAN connection, but I'd prefer that somewhat-broken link if possible. after all that's what TCP is made for, isn't it?
[03:34] <Sven_vB> I'll see if I can find that missing segment somewhere on the SSH client side in wireshark.
[03:45] <billybigrigger> hey all, anyone awake?
[03:46] <billybigrigger> is there an easy way to tell what drives are connected to a sata controller? i have 2 on this motherboard and want to differentiate which drives are attached to what
[03:46] <romulas> What a good ppa with the latest kernel?
[03:46] <billybigrigger> lspci shows one has an address of 00:11.0 and the other is 03:00.0
[03:46] <billybigrigger> basically want to pass certain hard disks to vms, so i need to arrange them accordingly
[03:48] <ryuo> romulas: you don't need a ppa unless you need customizations.
[03:48] <Sven_vB> to debug the packet loss, I pinged with do-not-fragment and various paket sizes. looks like "160(188) bytes of data." is the threshold up to which my preferred link is reliable. so should I configure 188 as the MTU for that link?
[03:48] <romulas> I have a ppa with git of mesa/libdrm,etc
[03:48] <romulas> But no latest kernel
[03:49] <tatertots> billybigrigger: are you chatting from the computer right now?
[03:49] <ryuo> romulas: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
[03:50] <billybigrigger> tatertots no ssh'd in
[03:52] <tatertots> billybigrigger: run inxi -Fxxprzc0|nc termbin.com 9999
[03:52] <romulas> So there isn't a ppa with the latest kernel, sadly.
[03:52] <tatertots> billybigrigger: it'll guide you to install inxi if you don't have it already then complete the command
[03:53] <billybigrigger> what do you need to know? i can tell you anything about this system lol
[03:53] <billybigrigger> gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard, 16GB DDR3, amd fx-8129 8c/16t 3.4Ghz
[03:53] <tatertots> you can't tell yourself what disk and disk id's you have so you can get on with using the disk in vms ?
[03:53] <tatertots> if you could do what you say..you wouldn't have ever posed such a query
[03:54] <tatertots> truth be told
[03:54] <billybigrigger> i don't want to pass the wrong controller though incase i have the host on that controller
[03:54] <tatertots> but take care..good luck
[03:54] <billybigrigger> i just want to know how to tell what disks are attached to each controller
[04:02] <billybigrigger> thanks tatertots, figured it out ya fucking douche, don't need to install and stupid software either, quit trying to help people if you're gonna be a retard while doing it, there's a reason i left this shit distro 10 years ago, douches like you are still around i see
[04:09] <Sven_vB> looks like MTU 188 is wholly another level of broken than I had imagined. guess I'll need to use a better link then.

[05:58] <GoodTimesImmort> hello room
[06:03] <michael_p> hi
[06:04] <michael_p> i am using play on linux anyone know how to install the opengl libraries
[06:04] <michael_p> for 32bit and 64 bit
[06:05] <Ben64> how did you install playonlinux
[06:05] <michael_p> through the software center
[06:06] <Ben64> then it should have everything you need already
[06:08] <pi0> how do i mount a filesystem from a live usb stick
[06:10] <tomreyn> the same way you'd mount it from anywhere else.
[06:10] <tomreyn> what are you running, which file system type are you tring to mount?
[06:11] <pi0> how do i list what i can munt?
[06:14] <pi0> Device           Start       End   Sectors  Size Type
[06:14] <pi0> /dev/nvme0n1p1    2048   1050623   1048576  512M EFI System
[06:14] <pi0> /dev/nvme0n1p2 1050624 500117503 499066880  238G Linux filesystem
[06:15] <pi0> tomreyn: so i need to mount /dev/nvme0n1p2
[06:15] <tomreyn> !paste
[06:16] <tomreyn> file -s /dev/nvme0n1p2    should tell you which file system it is
[06:18] <pi0> Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data
[06:19] <tomreyn> so which ubuntu version are you running,which desktop? a non default kernel version?
[06:33] <pi0> live boot and installed os version are both 18.04
[06:33] <pi0> however the surface was a spcial kernel for surface pro
[06:38] <tomreyn> pi0: on a standard ubuntu 18.04 installation you'd have gnome-shell and the "gnome file" application (previously known as "nautilus"), which could mount an ext4 file system by just navigating to it. however, if you're using a non ubuntu kernel then we can't really know what you're running and this makes it tough to support you.
[06:45] <pi0> mount -v /dev/nvme0n1p2 /media/mnt
[07:53] <mfoolb> hello, if I recall right snap is now the suggested way of installing software on Ubuntu
[07:54] <ducasse> mfoolb: not entirely true, lots of stuff is still in the regular apt repos
[07:55] <mfoolb> but for example installing thunderbird puts you in an awkward situation.. package is obsolete and you can't upgrade because latest versions are not present in snap store
[07:56] <ducasse> contact the maintainers, ask them to upgrade
[07:57] <mfoolb> I actually still use and prefer apt.. so the question is can I remove thundebrid from snap while maintaing configurations/file and install from apt without any impact?
[08:12] <huawei-usb-modem> Hi Guys,I am having some trouble with a USB Modem "HUAWEI E303S" while using it on:Linux 5.0.0-37-generic #40~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.The device is working fine on windows.In the Disks utility the device was getting detected as a CD-ROM. So I tried the solution mentioned
[08:12] <huawei-usb-modem> here:https://askubuntu.com/questions/143989/3g-usb-modem-not-working-in-12-04But it didn't work.Some further details about the system and device are at: https://justpaste.it/4ckv1Please suggest some workaround.
[08:20] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: have you tried configuring it using network manager?
[08:20] <tomreyn> since usb_modeswitch seems to be working and it is detected as a modem as it should be
[08:21] <tomreyn> indeed it also shows up as storage but you can just ignore this if the modem works fine
[08:23] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: please elaborate on configuring using network manager part
[08:23] <huawei-usb-modem> do you mean using wvdial ? because I have tried it and it says sorry no modem detected'
[08:24] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: no i mean network manager, the default network management framework on ubuntu 18.04 desktop
[08:24] <tomreyn> you'd go to "settings", then "network"
[08:25] <tomreyn> and i guess it should show up asa modem there you can then configure
[08:25] <huawei-usb-modem> yes the device is showing up there
[08:26] <tomreyn> alright, so how to configure it exactly may depend on your mobile network provider, but i assume it's rather straight forward from there.
[08:27] <huawei-usb-modem> yes that way it is working
[08:27] <huawei-usb-modem> but i would like to be able to make it work via terminal
[08:27] <tomreyn> then use nm-cli or nm-tui
[08:28] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: ok will search about it and reply
[08:28] <tomreyn> * nmcli or nmtui
[08:28] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: thanks I think this will work
[08:29] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[08:29] <huawei-usb-modem> but do you have some insight regarding the fact that wvdial is not finding it ?
[08:29] <tomreyn> no, i don't. i also don't understand why so many people insist on using this software
[08:30] <huawei-usb-modem> is it not good ?
[08:30] <tomreyn> well, did it work as easily to setup this modem there as it did on netowkr manager?
[08:31] <huawei-usb-modem> no :)
[08:31] <huawei-usb-modem> but it did work the first time
[08:31] <huawei-usb-modem> nmcli for the win then, thanks.
[08:32] <tomreyn> it's probably possible to get this to work with wvdial, too, i just dont know how
[08:32] <tomreyn> and i recommend using ubuntu defaults unless you have good reasons not to.
[08:33] <huawei-usb-modem> my ultimate aim is to write a shell script. so that the configuration part is automated and the usb modem can be just a plug and play device for ubuntu systems
[08:34] <tomreyn> cool, i think you got a lot closer to this point now
[08:35] <huawei-usb-modem> yes, thanks for the help.
[09:15] <alakx> Hello! How can i disable tomcat9 logging to syslog?
[09:27] <CarlFK> alakx: I would look for a #tomcat or #java or such chan
[09:28] <Woodpecker> Where is the command `source` located? Its not in /bin or /usr/bin
[09:29] <geirha> Woodpecker: it's a bash builtin, not a command available in the filesystem.
[09:29] <geirha> Woodpecker: Run: type source
[09:29] <Woodpecker> geirha: Can I run it from an IDE as a build step?
[09:30] <geirha> yes, if it passes your commands to bash
[09:31] <geirha> if it doesn't invoke a shell at all, you can always run it yourself with  bash -c 'source ... && build && run'
[09:31] <Woodpecker> It invokes a built in shell. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/F7FW5djc/image.png
[09:31] <Woodpecker> yeah okay that makes sense.
[09:32] <geirha> if that runs the command with a shell, it probably spawns a new shell for each step, so using source there would be pointless
[09:32] <CarlFK> I have loaded up the "at" scheduler with some commands.  now I want to verify what commands will run. how do I see the commands?
[09:33] <geirha> CarlFK: atqw
[09:33] <geirha> err, atq
[09:33] <Woodpecker> geirha: right, because after exiting the shell, the environment set up no longer exists, is that right?
[09:33] <CarlFK> geirha: that doesn't seem to show the command
[09:34] <geirha> CarlFK: ah, look up the -c option
[09:34] <CarlFK> geirha: I read the man page too .. and was hopeful, but -c is not for atq :p
[09:35] <geirha> CarlFK: no, but you see the job number with atq, then  at -c $jobnum
[09:36] <CarlFK> geirha: bingo. thanks.  and woah, what the heck
[09:37] <geirha> yeah, it injects your environment variables in there
[09:37] <tomreyn> isn't atd triggered by cron which is triggered by a systemd service which is triggered by a systemd timer nowadays?
[09:38] <geirha> no, atd is itself a daemon, not started by cron
[09:39] <geirha> and systemd's timer thing is distinct from cron afaik; two separate systems
[09:39] <geirha> (afaik - as far as I know)
[09:41] <CarlFK> so my at command is systemctl --user start videoteam-record.service
[09:41] <CarlFK> with all that other stuff http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bP3tHYTmc9/
[09:41] <Deknos> hi, will the next ubuntu release use python3 as standard or not have python at all included in its base install?
[09:41] <CarlFK> is there a systemd thing I should be using to schedule it to start ?
[09:44] <tomreyn> geirha: hmm yes looks like you're right. i mixed it up with anacron.
[10:09] <vlt> Hello. I'm using mpv and libavfilter(?) via "--vf perspective=..." to playback videos and specify (and manipulate in realtime) the coordinates of the four corners. This takes a lot of CPU power. Is there a way to do this later in the chain by somehow using 3D video hardware stuff? Where can I find out more?
[10:28] <qwertuttyty> If to convert into vlc, vlc writes this encoder is not present.  What do I do to make it ( other encoders ) work in vlc?

[10:30] <qwertuttyty> video enc
[10:34] <qwertuttyty> or it not in vlc, or in ubuntu have only x264, x265, theora, vp8

[11:01] <vlt> qwertuttyty: Can you try to rephrase that question?
[11:02] <GoodTimesImmort> hello room
[11:02] <EriC^^> hello

[11:16] <vlt> GoodTimesImmort: Yes, ask your real question ;-)
[11:23] <GoodTimesImmort> vlt: About a year of dedicated basic Ubuntu knowledge. Just starting to dabble on bash and python. Want to create a simple media server for myself and a couple friends. Movies, Project files, maybe access to an emulator...
[11:23] <GoodTimesImmort> Does that make sense?

[11:28] <Chaser> Hello, canonical recently released a tool for spinning up local ubuntu VMs - I can't seem to remember the name ... any pointers.
[11:45] <MJCD> When I click the applications button
[11:45] <MJCD> only a few applications show
[11:45] <MJCD> I have to do a search to find term
[11:52] <LaLaLars> MJCD: Toggle Recent and All at the bottom of the view
[11:54] <MJCD> ah brill
[11:54] <MJCD> also the built in software updater is messing with me
[11:54] <MJCD> can I just completely destroy it :P
[11:56] <MJCD> like apt is constantly complaining its locked
[11:57] <MJCD> even though its not open
[11:57] <MJCD> that's pretty troublesome
[11:57] <MJCD> idk why apt doesn't just queue job lists and execute them as able
[11:57] <MJCD> i'm sure there's some weird fringe bug reasons
[11:58] <MJCD> but, for now if I can just get it disabled for me that'd be awesome
[11:58] <MJCD> also since day 0 installing all software updater has ever done is say "Waiting for unattended-upgr to exit"
[11:58] <MJCD> it's been restarted multiple times
[11:59] <MJCD> if I try to quit it because that never completes it hardlocks the process lol
[12:00] <MJCD> canonical's been having some troubles lately :( I know that's offtopic tho
[12:05] <MJCD> feels like a lack of strong direction

[12:05] <MJCD> but canonical are a commercial entity
[12:12] <MJCD> urgh
[12:12] <MJCD> for 'when there are security updates'
[12:12] <MJCD> there is no "Never" style option
[12:12] <MJCD> oh, I guess that it wont bother me because auto update is set to never
[12:12] <MJCD> nevermind that one

[12:16] <huawei-usb-modem> what could be the problem ?

[12:26] <tomreyn> echoSMILE: i'd try twinkle.
[12:27] <huawei-usb-modem> I tried it on another PC and in that one nmcli does recognise it by the name cdc-wdm0
[12:27] <tomreyn> https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/stacks/network/network-manager/docs/configure-cellular-connections
[12:28] <tomreyn> this is actually documentation for ubuntu core, but should also apply to standard ubuntu i would think
[12:29] <tomreyn> maybe you just lack modemmanager on this system
[12:31] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: yeah I am installing
[12:32] <huawei-usb-modem> `/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf` this file is not present on the system on which nmcli fails to recognise the modem
[12:34] <tomreyn> what is running on this system?
[12:34] <tomreyn> ubuntu version, kernel version?
[12:42] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: ubuntu 16
[12:45] <phatcat> hello, is there a way I could check my (client) IP when I ssh into an Ubuntu server?

[12:47] <phatcat> aha, awesome
[12:47] <phatcat> what's the correct regex to cover all LAN IP's like 10.9.0.2?
[12:47] <pragmaticenigma> phatcat: Easier to go to a site like ipchicken.com or similar sites
[12:47] <BluesKaj> phatcat, sudo netstat -tapen should show it
[12:48] <pragmaticenigma> phatcat: What are you using the regex with?
[12:48] <phatcat> nginx config file
[12:48] <phatcat> I've got 192.168.10.0/24 since I thought I'm going to get an IP in that range
[12:48] <phatcat> but it turns out it's 10.9.0.2
[12:48] <pragmaticenigma> Guest32191: ifconfig is not installed by default in Ubuntu anymore. Just a heads up
[12:49] <tomreyn> !YY.MM | huawei-usb-modem
[12:49] <pragmaticenigma> phatcat: for server type questions you might find better answers in the #ubuntu-server channel.
[12:49] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: on ubuntu, the "nmcli" command, which you seem to have available on both systems, is provided by the "network-manager" package. also on ubuntu, the file /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf is provided by the "network-manager" package. so either you're not running ubuntu, or someone with root permissions moved or deleted this file.
[12:50] <pragmaticenigma> phatcat: You might also want to check out the Nginx channel which will have more focused help on Nginx configuration and setup: #nginx
[12:50] <geirha> ''ip -br addr'' for a nice and compact equivalent of ''ifconfig -a''

[12:53] <MaximB> Hi, I have 2 gmail accounts (home/work), at the top taskbar calendar it shows only the home account, how can I configure it to show both calendars? (ubuntu 18.04 LTS)
[12:55] <sixwheeledbeast> I assume Evolution is the default mail client with it having better integration, have you looked in the settings there?
[12:55] <MaximB> I don't think Evolution is installed by default. it's a clean install
[12:56] <MaximB> evolution is not installed
[12:56] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: so should i reinstall network-manager ?
[12:57] <pragmaticenigma> MaximB: Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[12:57] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: it could bring back the lost file, so you may want to
[12:57] <MaximB> 18.04 LTS
[12:57] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: doing it.
[12:58] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: thanks for letting me know.
[13:00] <pragmaticenigma> MaximB: In the full calendar view, is there a button or icon with three horizontal lines?
[13:02] <MaximB> there is no 'full' view, only drop-box with the calender, no icons to click on except the dates. I can't even set meetings (I set them in gmail), only view them. but this is not a complaint
[13:02] <pragmaticenigma> MaximB: There should be a Calendar application in the main applications list... The applet should pull it's settings from that application
[13:04] <MaximB> there is no installed calendar app when I search 'cal'...I think it takes the gmail conf from the accounts menu, but only uses one
[13:04] <ThiefMaster> is there a clean way to programmatically remove some key bindings from the default Terminal app? i have a script that installs my dotfiles and i want to get rid of the ctrl-minus zoom-out key binding (since my shell config uses that)
[13:05] <MaximB> I don't want the whole evolution\thunderbird email app, just want to view the calendar easily from all accounts

[13:06] <Dro> J_C: Yes I'm sorry :$
[13:07] <pragmaticenigma> MaximB: I'm not referencing anything to do with Evolution or Thunderbird
[13:07] <MaximB> pragmaticenigma ok, but I do not find any installed calendar app
[13:07] <huawei-usb-modem> i removed network-manager. and then installed it. still `/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf` is absent. I missed the previous msg the system is 4.4.0-62-generic Ubuntu 16.04.
[13:08] <pragmaticenigma> MaximB: How did you configure the calendar in the first place?
[13:08] <MaximB> it was there by default
[13:08] <MaximB> it's just a drop box when I click the date

[13:09] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: indeed, /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf does not exist on 16.04
[13:10] <vlt> Hello. In a h/w accelerated 3D-space I want to define a rectangle, project a video stream on it and then change its corner coordinates (in realtime). What higher level tool is there already available (w/o having to program a --glsl-shader for mpv)?
[13:10] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: so the workaround is to update or something else is possible ?
[13:12] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: an upgraqde should work. there may be other ways to make it work, but i wouldn't know how off the top of my head (it's something you could research if it's worth your time)
[13:12] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: would probably update
[13:12] <tomreyn> maybe someone filed a feature request regarding support for this hardware on 16.04 already.
[13:13] <huawei-usb-modem> The system on which nmcli identifies the modem is 18.04. and the one on which the modem is not found by nmcli is 16.04.
[13:14] <huawei-usb-modem> So, the reason for this is  /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf'
[13:14] <huawei-usb-modem> ?
[13:14] <huawei-usb-modem> or something else could also be responsible ?
[13:14] <tomreyn> could be, but more likely there's more to it
[13:15] <ioria> huawei-usb-modem, i don't know that, but probably you can create the file from scratch
[13:15] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: i think reinstalling network-manager did the trick
[13:16] <huawei-usb-modem> the modem is recognised
[13:16] <pragmaticenigma> MaximB: The Gnome calendar applet uses the "evolution-data-server" backend to query and display calendars. If there isn't a calendar configuration option in System Settings, you will have to install Evolution in order to access and configure it. You may have better luck asking in #gnome or using the "irc.gnome.org" server (also found through GIMPNet IRC) for their official support channels.
[13:16] <huawei-usb-modem> tomreyn: Thanks once again.
[13:16] <MaximB> pragmaticenigma thanks
[13:17] <tomreyn> huawei-usb-modem: you're welcome once again. ;)
[13:17] <Dro> Any idea about this problem guys ? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/z2YkyHyKt4/
[13:18] <tomreyn> Dro: provide more context.
[13:19] <tomreyn> ubuntu version, kernel version, which command generated this output etc.
[13:19] <Dro> tomreyn: 18.04 , not sure about the kernel, but this happen when I try to boot to Ubuntu
[13:19] <Dro> Its not the output of a command, Ubuntu don't boot
[13:19] <Dro> and show that error
[13:20] <tomreyn> Dro: is this a fresh installation then?
[13:20] <Intelo> I think my isp has blocked tor, I cannot open torproject site too. I have ubuntu and stuck on configuration page. What server url etc should I give or any easy way to install tor browser?
[13:21] <tomreyn> Intelo: tor is available in ubuntu
[13:21] <J_C> Intelo: sudo apt install torbrowser-launcher
[13:21] <Intelo> tomreyn,  it is, Thats the server url I was talking about
[13:21] <J_C> or, for just tor, sudo apt install tor
[13:21] <Intelo> J_C, yes; stuck at it
[13:22] <Intelo> J_C, yes. does not goes further
[13:22] <tomreyn> Intelo: then use a differen tubuntu archive mirror
[13:23] <Intelo> tomreyn, no use
[13:23] <tomreyn> it's unlikely that you'd run into a timeout if its blocked, more likely you'd run into an error message
[13:23] <Intelo> tomreyn,  which one you used?
[13:24] <Intelo> it says 'downloading tor for the first time' since many hours and this repeates
[13:24] <tomreyn> show your output for    sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -y update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 </tmp/aptlog && rm /tmp/aptlog
[13:25] <tomreyn> the "tor" package in ubuntu would not print the message "downloading tor for the first time", i don't think so
[13:25] <Intelo> ok one minut
[13:25] <tomreyn> oh you seem to be trynig to install tor browser bundle instead
[13:26] <Dro> tomreyn: no its not a frech installation.. Its installed in my external hard drive since few months
[13:26] <Dro> and it was working fine, not sure why it does not work anymore
[13:27] <Intelo> tomreyn, https://termbin.com/k50z
[13:27] <tomreyn> Dro: so you are trying to boot off the external hard drive?
[13:28] <tomreyn> Intelo: look at what you posted, solve the errors ("E:") and warnings ("W:") reported by apt
[13:28] <Dro> tomreyn:  trying to boot from it, yes
[13:30] <tomreyn> Dro: its ESP seems to be missing critical files according to this output. you could possibly just copy those from the ESP on your default boot device.
[13:30] <tomreyn> Dro: disabling "secure boot" in your "BIOS" could also help.
[13:31] <Intelo> tomreyn,  how do I remove all those third party repos?
[13:31] <tomreyn> Intelo: the same way you added them, just in reverse.
[13:32] <tomreyn> !ppa-purge
[13:32] <tomreyn> but this only works for PPAs (i.e. repositories hosted at ppa.launchpad.net)
[13:33] <ducasse> you can use it for others as long as you specify server etc with options
[13:34] <tomreyn> oh, good, i didnt remember this.
[13:34] <tomreyn> otherwise: the others you'd need to remove manually, by removing their apt gpg signing key off the apt repository keyring, and by removing the corresponding file off /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[13:35] <ducasse> eric also wrote a wrapper to make it easier, ask him
[13:35] <ducasse> EriC^^: ^^
[13:36] <Intelo> tomreyn, sudo: remove-apt-repository: command not found
[13:36] <Intelo> tomreyn,  oh ok purge
[13:37] <Intelo> $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:upubuntu-com/tor64
[13:37] <Intelo> sudo: ppa-purge: command not found
[13:37] <ducasse> Intelo: you need to install it first
[13:38] <Intelo> ducasse, ppa:upubuntu-com/tor64
[13:38] <Intelo> sory
[13:38] <Intelo> ducasse, https://termbin.com/k50z
[13:38] <Intelo> ducasse,  trying to install tor
[13:38] <ducasse> Intelo: sudo apt install ppa-purge
[13:38] <Intelo> I think my isp has blocked tor, I cannot open torproject site too. I have ubuntu and stuck on configuration page. What server url etc should I give or any easy way to install tor browser?
[13:40] <Dro> tomreyn: what does it mean ESP ? and where can I find it please ?
[13:40] <Dro> btw I found out that the folder /boot/efi of my external drive is empty
[13:41] <cryptodan> Intelo: what makes you think that they blocked the website for tor browser?
[13:41] <ducasse> Dro: efi system partition, it should be mounted at /boot/efi
[13:41] <Intelo> cryptodan,  because i cannot open it
[13:41] <tomreyn> Dro: esp = efi system partition, which a running uefi booted ubuntu would mount to /boot/efi
[13:42] <Dro> tomreyn: my /boot/efi is empty currently
[13:42] <Dro> from where can I copy this files?
[13:42] <EriC^^> Intelo: if you find it useful https://github.com/ericj112/ppa-tool
[13:43] <cryptodan> Intelo: so when you go here https://www.torproject.org/download/ it just spins or do you get any error code?
[13:43] <tomreyn> Dro: your standard ubuntu installation (not the one on the external disk) also has an empty /boot/efi ?
[13:44] <EriC^^> Dro: do you have a live usb you can boot? or another ubuntu installation on another disk?
[13:44] <tomreyn> Intelo: disable your proxy server if you can.
[13:44] <Dro> tomreyn: no but its too different i guess.. i can copy it from the install drive?
[13:44] <Intelo> tomreyn,  which proxy? I dont have one
[13:45] <Intelo> cryptodan, This site can’t be reachedThe connection was reset.
[13:45] <Intelo> Try:
[13:45] <Intelo> Checking the connection
[13:45] <tomreyn> Intelo: which ubuntu version did you say you're running=?
[13:46] <Dro> EriC^^: I have the one i'm running in my principal drive
[13:46] <tomreyn> hmm probably bionic.
[13:46] <EriC^^> Dro: great, are you on it right now?
[13:46] <Dro> but it contains too much folder
[13:46] <Intelo> tomreyn,  18 something
[13:46] <cryptodan> Intelo: using firefox or another browser
[13:46] <Dro> So i'm worried if it will affect the usb one
[13:46] <EriC^^> Dro: no worries, i got you ;)
[13:46] <tomreyn> Intelo: is this windows subsystem for linux?
[13:46] <Dro> EriC^^: Yes, /boot/efi contains two folders : EFI and en-US
[13:47] <Intelo> how to run from cmd?
[13:47] <Dro> It looks different
[13:47] <Intelo> tomreyn,  pure ubuntu
[13:47] <EriC^^> Dro: ok, dont copy anything, type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link it gives you
[13:47] <EriC^^> Dro: we won't copy anything, we'll chroot into the external hdd install and let it reinstall grub
[13:48] <tomreyn> Intelo: ok, i'm wondering because the message "Could not handshake: Error in the pull function. [IP: 116.202.120.165 443]" in your log, for the "deb.torproject.org" apt source, usually points to a proxy server getting in the way. this could also be caused by an anti virus scanner.

[13:49] <Dro> https://termbin.com/lkqp
[13:49] <Dro> EriC^^: chrooting into the external drive will be a good option! :D
[13:49] <Intelo> tomreyn,  ok
[13:49] <Intelo> tomreyn,  what should I do
[13:49] <Dro> But its not always plugged, It won't affect grub when I remove it ?
[13:49] <EriC^^> Dro: which one is the external hdd?
[13:50] <Dro> EriC^^: the external is Model:  Mass Storage Device (scsi)
[13:50] <Dro> The current (internal) is Model: ATA SanDisk X400 M.2 (scsi)
[13:50] <tomreyn> Intelo: i already told you: you need to take appropriate action to remove the errors and warnings on your "apt update" output.
[13:50] <EriC^^> Dro: how are you checking that /boot/efi is empty on the external hdd? it says no partition table
[13:51] <Dro> EriC^^: well simple i opened the disk, and gone to /boot/efi
[13:51] <Dro> and found it empty
[13:51] <EriC^^> Dro: aha, open the disk, then type "mount | nc termbin.com 9999"
[13:52] <EriC^^> Dro: i guess it might be that it is installed directly without a partition table, and perhaps it uses the first disk's grub as a bootloader
[13:52] <Dro> EriC^^: btw, when I type the first command i get this with the link : ~$ sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:52] <Dro> Error: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdc
[13:53] <Dro> EriC^^: Well its in the fact an internal disk of my old laptop and use it with a USB case
[13:53] <Intelo> tomreyn, https://termbin.com/9mzuy
[13:53] <Intelo> tomreyn,  cleared all errors. Whats next?
[13:54] <EriC^^> Dro: i see
[13:54] <Dro> EriC^^: here is the mount result https://termbin.com/3nbz
[13:54] <tomreyn> Intelo: do you want to install "tor" or "tor browser (bundle)"?
[13:55] <Intelo> tomreyn,  I have installed tor and torbrowser-launcher. My aim is to use tor browser.
[13:55] <EriC^^> Dro: ok, mount is showing partitions of sdc mounted, i wonder why parted is saying there's no partition table
[13:55] <Intelo> tomreyn,  I heard bundle is best but you suggest what to do for fast solution
[13:55] <EriC^^> Dro: anyways, let's try to reinstall grub
[13:56] <EriC^^> Dro: type "sudo mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt"
[13:57] <tomreyn> Intelo: for a fast solution, which is not supported here, you'd access https://www.torproject.org/download/ and click on the penguin icon
[13:58] <Intelo> tomreyn,  ok, ignore that. Whats the supported version ?
[13:58] <Intelo> sudo tor    at the end says Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working.
[13:58] <Intelo> Jan 02 16:56:48.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done
[13:59] <Intelo> but torbrowser-launcher is stuck
[13:59] <tomreyn> Intelo: there's a community supported package "torbrowser-launcher". i think you already tried this one, and it did get stuck while updating some information from the internet, abse d on what you posted here on the channel (if it was complete).
[14:00] <Dro> EriC^^: sudo mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt done
[14:00] <Intelo> tomreyn,  yes, what to do next?
[14:00] <EriC^^> Dro: type "ls /mnt" does it show /boot /root /home /proc /etc ..?
[14:01] <Dro> EriC^^: no it just show my home folder
[14:01] <Dro> and lost+found folder
[14:01] <EriC^^> Dro: oh ok, type "sudo umount /mnt"
[14:01] <Dro> two folders my_username and lost+found
[14:01] <EriC^^> Dro: then type "sudo mount /dev/sdc5 /mnt"
[14:01] <tomreyn> Intelo: you could file a bug report, or (unsupported here) do what's suggested at "Are you getting an error?" at https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher or get help in #tor on OFTC
[14:02] <Dro> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XwP9sdWmm7/
[14:02] <Dro> 14:56 -!- Anthaas [~Anthaas@unaffiliated/anthaas] has joined #ubuntu
[14:02] <Dro> after mount
[14:02] <EriC^^> Dro: ok, great
[14:02] <Dro> Good :D
[14:03] <EriC^^> Dro: type the following line "for i in /dev /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done"
[14:03] <EriC^^> Dro: it should give back no results
[14:03] <Intelo> tomreyn, I just got a tor config window. What should be tor server, mirror,  and 'download over tor system' checkbox status?
[14:03] <tomreyn> Intelo: note that torbrowser-launcher includes a build of tor, which would likely conflict with a separate installation of the "tor" package (and could be the cause for the download issues of torbrpwser-launcher)
[14:03] <Dro> EriC^^: done
[14:04] <EriC^^> Dro: type "sudo chroot /mnt"
[14:04] <EriC^^> Dro: then type "mount -a"
[14:04] <tomreyn> Intelo: i don't know which software you're currently referring to.
[14:04] <Dro> EriC^^: done
[14:04] <Intelo> tomreyn,  'tor browser launcher settings'
[14:04] <EriC^^> Dro: type "grub-install"
[14:04] <Dro> But how can I check that I'm under my external drive?
[14:04] <Intelo> tomreyn,  should tor server be: tcp:127.0.0.1:9050?
[14:05] <Dro> it show root@my-interna-drive-hostname
[14:05] <Dro> not my external one
[14:05] <Intelo> tomreyn,  should mirror be dist.torproject.org?
[14:05] <Intelo> tomreyn,  statys of checkbox?
[14:05] <EriC^^> Dro: that's normal
[14:05] <tomreyn> Intelo: probably the same as on the screenshot on micah f lee's github project, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher/develop/screenshot.png
[14:05] <EriC^^> Dro: if it gave you a root shell then it chroot'd
[14:06] <EriC^^> Dro: if you want you can try "cat /etc/issue" if the versions are different, or see the /home dir if its different etc
[14:06] <tomreyn> Intelo: i have not used torbrowser-launcher myself, though, so you'd need to read its documentation yourself or get help from someone else here who did, i'm afraid.
[14:06] <Intelo> tomreyn, its downloading. lets see ( I guess this by increased network graph after I clicked install)
[14:06] <Dro> Ok ok
[14:06] <Dro> Great
[14:06] <Dro> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JrhV3cF5Cq/
[14:06] <Dro> The output of grub-install
[14:07] <tomreyn> mbr disk?
[14:08] <EriC^^> Dro: i guess that's why parted wasnt listing the partitions, something wrong with the gpt signature
[14:08] <EriC^^> Dro: we'll get to that, anyways, type "update-grub"
[14:08] <Dro> EriC^^: Well I was trying to install a samsung Printer driver and this happened after I rebooted
[14:09] <Dro> Looks like there was a wrong manipulation
[14:09] <EriC^^> i see
[14:10] <Dro> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ytCJmjVkwR/
[14:10] <Dro> Well this will be the grub of the external drive only? or both ?
[14:10] <Dro> I mean it won't affect my internal drive, right?
[14:10] <EriC^^> Dro: yeah, it shouldnt
[14:10] <Dro> Great!
[14:11] <Dro> Now I should reboot ? Or something else missing?
[14:11] <EriC^^> Dro: what does "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" give?
[14:11] <Dro> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/chmw
[14:12] <Dro> (SanDisk is my internal drive runs with Ubuntu 18.04 too)
[14:12] <Dro> I guess we need to have an other ubuntu entry there, not?
[14:12] <_Random_> hey guys need some help from gurus.. with installation . let me set the picture.
[14:12] <EriC^^> Dro: what does "sudo blkid | nc termbin.com 9999" give?
[14:13] <tomreyn> Boot0000 says "MBR" again, can this actually work?
[14:13] <_Random_> i5-3470 SFF with nvidia k1200 gpu gm107gl
[14:13] <Dro> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/rlnu
[14:14] <_Random_> being used as a media server straight to tv via mini display port to usb
[14:14] <_Random_> so installing Ubuntu
[14:14] <EriC^^> Dro: ok, so the ext hdd one is 000D
[14:15] <_Random_> the installer boots & installs but cant get a working window managr
[14:15] <Dro> EriC^^: yes
[14:15] <EriC^^> Dro: just to see something, what does "sudo blkid /dev/sdc" give for the PTTYPE?
[14:15] <Dro> EriC^^: /dev/sdc: PTUUID="46549d27-2f19-4b56-b0e9-41609c720e71" PTTYPE="gpt"
[14:15] <EriC^^> Dro: ok, so it's gpt
[14:16] <tomreyn> !nomodeset | _Random_:
[14:16] <EriC^^> Dro: ok, let's reorganize the uefi list so that the ext hdd is first, then internal hdd
[14:16] <EriC^^> Dro: sudo efibootmgr -o 000D,000C,0000
[14:17] <Dro> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GPKfvR3Pz6/
[14:17] <EriC^^> looks good
[14:17] <Dro> EriC^^: just a curious question.. The 000D does not require something like the "0000" entry related to 000C ?
[14:18] <Dro> Because I though in my boot options I had two "ubuntu" (when things where working)
[14:18] <EriC^^> Dro: i dunno what the 0000 entry is, it's very odd
[14:18] <EriC^^> nah, it only needs 1 entry
[14:18] <_Random_> so Ive just started the install
[14:18] <Dro> thats ok then
[14:18] <Dro> EriC^^: any other steps?
[14:18] <_Random_> with 3rd party  & proprietory software
[14:19] <EriC^^> Dro: i'm curious about the gpt signature issue though, it may or may not affect stuff, we could try to run 'sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdc' and see if it offers any info about it
[14:20] <EriC^^> Dro: also i just noticed it did not add any file to the entry, so we might need to run that efibootmgr with -w as it suggested doing
[14:20] <Dro> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YQTbrnKQSM/
[14:21] <EriC^^> Dro: what does "sudo hdparm -N /dev/sdc" give?
[14:21] <Dro> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/um38
[14:23] <EriC^^> Dro: ok, it seems there's some problem with HPA so it's not being able to read the full disk and causing this partition table issue and checksum fault
[14:23] <Dro> EriC^^: hmmm, so what do you suggest ?
[14:24] <mohnish> Hello everyone! And, Happy New Year! I have some problems with virtualbox, I installed the package virtualbox but, it won't show up in my menu. I am using Ubuntu 19.10 MATE
[14:25] <EriC^^> Dro: i think you can disable HPA (host protected area) maybe
[14:26] <mohnish> But, I can launch virtualbox with the terminal no problem.
[14:26] <mohnish> I'd like to have it in the menu too.
[14:26] <EriC^^> Dro: i think also you can use hdparm to set the max size of the disk to the actual physical size
[14:27] <_Random_> thanks ubottu:
[14:30] <Dro> EriC^^: not sure, i'm understanding what hdparm is.. but things should'nt work now until i fix this ?
[14:31] <EriC^^> Dro: right now it seems all good, except that in the uefi list it doesnt say the file for some reason, i dunno if itll work or no, you might try it, it seems there's some problem with the partition table and needs fixing or something
[14:31] <EriC^^> Dro: anyways for now, type "exit" to exit the chroot and try to boot
[14:32] <EriC^^> if it doesnt boot the ext hdd it should jump to 2nd entry which is the internal hdd
[14:33] <tomreyn> _Random_: so you rebooted the installer with nomodeset? or did you manage to get a working window manager by other means?
[14:33] <EriC^^> Dro: i guess then you need to use gdisk tools to fix the partition table, i checked the sectors it's 468862128*512 which comes out to around 240gb so i dunno about hpa preventing it to read some parts of the disk, maybe it's just a corrupted partition table/gpt headers
[14:33] <EriC^^> Dro: anyways for now try rebooting and see what happens
[14:35] <_Random_> sorry guys i'm back & forgive me I'm not much  of a techie.. install completed, pink screen comes up but no text
[14:35] <Dro> EriC^^: ok thankkk you for the help! I'll reboot and be back..
[14:35] <_Random_> sorry guys i'm back & forgive me I'm not much  of a techie.. install completed, pink screen comes up but no text
[14:36] <_Random_> tomreyn: no completed the install, but can't get anything after pink screen
[14:36] <_Random_> I have no grub
[14:36] <tomreyn> _Random_: "no" to an "or" question is not helpful.
[14:36] <_Random_> just staight into pink screen
[14:37] <_Random_> no text
[14:37] <tomreyn> _Random_: can you say which ubuntu version you are trying to install there?
[14:37] <_Random_> 19.10
[14:38] <tomreyn> _Random_: To work around problems during installation and booting on systems with Nvidia graphics, use the "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" approach at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nouveau.modeset=0" parameter
[14:40] <_Random_> I'm familiar with editing grub.. but no grub comes up, just a pink screen . tried pressing "e" for editing
[14:41] <_Random_> ahh not presssing escape
[14:42] <_Random_> ok now in grub editing
[14:43] <Intelo> I think my isp has blocked tor, I cannot open torproject site too. I have ubuntu and stuck on configuration page. What server url etc should I give or any easy way to install tor browser?
[14:43] <tomreyn> _Random_: if using "nouveau.modeset=0" does not help, repeat the same approach but use just "nomodeset"
[14:44] <mohnish> Does anyone use virtualbox? I created a virtual machine and started it, but there is no "First Run Wizard"
[14:46] <Intelo> tomreyn, Download Error: Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused. <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError'>
[14:46] <Intelo> Traceback (most recent call last):
[14:46] <tomreyn> Intelo: systemd-resolve www.torproject.org 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:46] <tomreyn> whats the output of this?
[14:46] <Dro> EriC^^: Even my internal drive have the same error now
[14:47] <Dro> EriC^^: I was obliged to add a new boot option
[14:47] <Intelo> https://termbin.com/m9do tomreyn
[14:47] <Dro> that use EFI/boot/bootx64.(not sure of name)
[14:47] <Dro> to make my internal disk boot again
[14:47] <Dro> I added the boot option directly from the bios configuration
[14:47] <EriC^^> Dro: aha, can you add an entry for the ext hdd? it should also have efi files now
[14:48] <Intelo> Downloading https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/release/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/x/en-US
[14:48] <Intelo> Download Error: Connection was refused by other side
[14:48] <Dro> EriC^^: I tried doing the same thing for the external, but when I select it it take me to the internal one
[14:48] <Dro> Maybe because both of them have the same files
[14:48] <tomreyn> Intelo: whats the output of     curl --trace-ascii /tmp/trace https://www.torproject.org/; cat /tmp/trace | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:48] <Dro> :(
[14:48] <mohnish> Anyone gonna help me?
[14:48] <Dro> That have just the same identic files
[14:49] <Intelo> tomreyn,  :
[14:49] <Intelo> https://termbin.com/odyw
[14:49] <EriC^^> Dro: it should have different files, but unless you cloned the internal one, it might point to the internal from there cause it depends on the uuid of the filesystem let me check the blkid output again
[14:50] <Intelo> tomreyn,  torproject is blocked by my isp it seems
[14:50] <Intelo> tomreyn,  what to do now?
[14:50] <mohnish> :/
[14:50] <tomreyn> mohnish: i use virtualbox, too, but i use the builds from virtualbox.org (not supported here), not the (rather old) builds in ubuntu (which virtualbox.org don't support). which ones are you using?
[14:50] <Dro> EriC^^: command please ? I should chroot again?
[14:50] <mohnish> tomreyn: I simply did "sudo apt install virtualbox"
[14:50] <Intelo> tomreyn,  correct?
[14:51] <tomreyn> Intelo: take this output and ask in #tor on OFTC
[14:51] <EriC^^> Dro: nah, the uuid are different, we can check though the files
[14:51] <Intelo> ok
[14:51] <EriC^^> Dro: type 'sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt'
[14:51] <Intelo> tomreyn,  thanks
[14:52] <Dro> EriC^^: done
[14:52] <tomreyn> mohnish: so you're using ubuntu's packages. i can't really help with those, i guess, but we can try: you're saying there's no wizard - is tihis a problem, though, could you not just create a new VM using the menu?
[14:53] <Intelo> tomreyn,  in efnet, #tor, there are only 4 people
[14:53] <mohnish> I created a virtual machine, and it didn't ask me to select a .iso file in any step
[14:54] <tomreyn> Intelo: did i say "efnet", though?
[14:54] <Intelo> tomreyn,  whats oftc?
[14:54] <tomreyn> Intelo: an irc network, like efnet, like freenode. as a web search would have told you. irc.oftc.net
[14:54] <Intelo> tomreyn, oh,I didnt kenw
[14:55] <_Random_> tried both "nouveau.modeset=0" does not help, repeat the same approach but use just "nomodeset"
[14:55] <_Random_> im using tv as a monitor with mini display port to hdmi
[14:55] <tomreyn> _Random_: so you tried both already and neither works, or you tried "nouveau.modeset=0" and have not yet tried "nomodeset"?
[14:56] <_Random_> i just get on the display hdmi2
[14:56] <_Random_> tomreyn:  correct
[14:56] <tomreyn> _Random_: please neither answer "no" nor "correct" to an OR type question
[14:56] <_Random_> neither worked
[14:56] <tomreyn> ok!
[14:57] <_Random_> chipset of gpu is maxwell gm107gl
[14:57] <_Random_> quadro k1200
[14:57] <tomreyn> _Random_: the display connection you're describing sounds like a converter / adapter must bei involved, which can cause problems. can you try with a standard displayport or hdmi connector on both ends of the connection first of all?
[14:58] <_Random_> no the card only has provision for mini display
[14:58] <EriC^^> Dro: type "ls -lR /mnt | nc termbin.com 9999"
[14:58] <tomreyn> _Random_: and the monitor only has usb?
[14:59] <_Random_> no other adaptor options  on the card
[14:59] <_Random_> no but does not have mini display or dispaly port..
[14:59] <tomreyn> i've never used a mini diplayport to usb cable / connection, so i'm not sure whether this could actually work.
[14:59] <_Random_> has just about everything else
[15:00] <_Random_> standard vga hdmi
[15:00] <SnowOperation> Hello friends. I've been looking up  manuals and forums for a while and I can't find a simple answer to my question. I'm trying to use ftp or lftp to copy files from one folder (on the ftp server) to another folder (also on the ftp server). I cannot find an equivalent to "cp" and the mirror options downloads to my local machine. Can anyone point me
[15:00] <SnowOperation> to the right spot?
 being used as a media server straight to tv via mini display port to usb
[15:01] <_Random_> never tried using a usb for a dispaly
[15:01] <_Random_> mini display to hdmi
[15:01] <tomreyn> ok, that's still a converter then
[15:01] <Dro> EriC^^: https://termbin.com/jxnj
[15:02] <_Random_> ive used the card  on a different pc but not this one and worked fine.
[15:02] <Dro> EriC^^: I used  grubx64.efi as a grub option btw
[15:03] <Ether_Man> Anyone know if there's some vpn like tinc 1.1 in the repos for 19.10? Tinc is only the 1.0 branch in the repos but it's kind of annoying to configure new nodes without the 1.1 tools where I can just do a single command to invite new nodes :)
[15:03] <_Random_> so strange that I can get a working didplaay with installer but not post  install
[15:07] <tomreyn> _Random_: you can try to boot to recovery...
[15:07] <tomreyn> !recovery | _Random_
[15:08] <tomreyn> ... then enable networking, start a shell, and run   ubuntu-drivers install
[15:10] <tomreyn> _Random_: actually, before you run   ubuntu-drivers install    run    apt update && apt dist-upgrade
[15:24] <Lantizia> hey I'm in the mood for... *essentially*... a tablet.  So as thin/lightweight as a tablet, touchscreen... no keyboard (or possible just one that wraps around the back if it's still fairly thin)... but ultimately running ubuntu
[15:24] <Lantizia> basically a PC
[15:24] <Lantizia> i tablet form
[15:24] <Lantizia> *in
[15:25] <Lantizia> https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop/models?release=18.04%20LTS&category=Laptop
[15:25] <Lantizia> the ubuntu certified hardware thing only breaks it down desktops vs laptops
[15:25] <Lantizia> :S
[15:30] <Intelo> tomreyn,  can you give  a download link for tor browswer bundle via github?
[15:30] <tomreyn> Lantizia: w edon't provide specific hardware recommendations here, please try in ##linux or ##hardware
[15:32] <lotuspsychje> Lantizia: see also the #ubuntu-touch project they can run on certain phones/tablets
[15:33] <tomreyn> Intelo: not on this channel, no
[15:34] <Intelo> tomreyn,  of course.. send it privately :)
[15:36] <Dro> EriC^^: I hope i'm not disturbing you :P But is there any solution ?
[15:38] <Intelo> tomreyn,  thanks
[15:53] <deadrom> hi. does going 18.04 -> 19.10 require to go over 18.10 and 19.04?
[15:54] <leftyfb> deadrom: if done properly, yes. But I would personally recommend you stick with 18.04 for another few months until 20.04 is out and upgrade directly to that. I always recommend sticking with LTS's
[15:55] <deadrom> leftyfb: my pref, too, need some newer libs for certain multimedia things. well, maybe there's snaps..
[15:57] <yates> trying to load 18.03lts via live usb. i get the Ubuntu logo, but after some time the boot process stops with the screen in text mode stating "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
[15:57] <yates> any ideas?
[15:57] <pragmaticenigma> yates: how did you create you USB media?
[15:59] <yates> two ways: 1) using dd under linux, 2) using rufus (dd method) under MSWindows
[16:01] <yates> dd if=my.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
[16:01] <yates> where my.iso is the ubuntu 18.03lts iso
[16:01] <yates> that was the linux method ^^^
[16:01] <pragmaticenigma> yates: just a small correction... there is no such thing as 18.03
[16:01] <pragmaticenigma> I'm assuming you meant 18.04
[16:01] <yates> sorry, i guess its 18.04
[16:02] <yates> yes
[16:02] <yates> ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
[16:02] <pragmaticenigma> yates: Have you tried turning of Secure Boot and/or EFI?
[16:03] <pragmaticenigma> yates: You may also want to try creating the disk in ISO mode instead of DD
[16:04] <yates> we turned off secure boot when we tried it on one machine, yes
[16:04] <yates> what do you mean by "ISO mode"?
[16:06] <Lehthanis> hey all.  About to dual boot a laptop with windows...Windows is installed on the SSD, I've freed up some space for Ubuntu on the HDD...When I boot the Ubuntu installer, it gives me the option to install alongside windows or "something else" which is where I create my own partitions...What partitions will it make if I choose the install alongside windows option?
[16:06] <tomreyn> !md5 | yates
[16:07] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | Lehthanis
[16:07] <tomreyn> yates: chances are your downloaded iso is broken / incomplete
[16:12] <yates> i'll check it
[16:12] <Lehthanis> lotuspsychje: that page doesn't specificallly mention the "install alongside windows" option...if I choose that option, will it then ask if I want to do automatic or manual partitioning?
[16:14] <pragmaticenigma> Lehthanis: I believe it automatically installs, and then you can re-adjust after the fact
[16:14] <yates> 72491db7ef6f3cd4b085b9fe1f232345  ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
[16:14] <lotuspsychje> Lehthanis: the page does, aka automatic partitioning resizing
[16:14] <yates> looks good to me
[16:15] <Lehthanis> ahh, I see it now...it also says "not recommended" lol so I didn't dig too deep into it...
[16:15] <yates> tomreyn: ^^^^
[16:15] <Lehthanis> lotuspsychje: device for bootloader installation should be what if I'm doing manual install?
[16:16] <Lehthanis> sda or sda1(windows boot manager)
[16:16] <Lehthanis> manual partition I mean
[16:16] <yates> any other ideas?
[16:16] <Lehthanis> or should the bootloader go to the physical hdd /dev/sdb
[16:19] <Lehthanis> anyone else know what device I should install the bootloader to for manual partitioning in dual boot ubuntu install? Should I choose windows boot manager?
[16:21] <OerHeks> Lehthanis, choose sda, i guess ( if that is where your system starts looking for a boot thingy)
[16:23] <Lehthanis> awesome thanks, I'll report back if it doesn't work, lol...goign to lunch...thanks much for the help
[16:30]  * pragmaticenigma hopes that Lehthanis made a back up of their computer before starting this project
[16:37] <ferz> Hi.
[16:37] <ferz> I'm using Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) and I've a trouble when I try to access to namecheap.com web site: the system resolve domain as http://paste.scsys.co.uk/587509
[16:38] <Habbie> please try with dig
[16:38] <MJCD> seems like the ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Software Updater" is hardwired into many systems
[16:38] <MJCD> there must be a simplistic way to kill the whole thing
[16:39] <EmJayCeeDee> pls
[16:39] <ferz> Habbie: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/587513
[16:39] <tomreyn> and now systemd-resolve namecheap.com
[16:39] <Habbie> ferz, whatever is running on 127.0.0.53 is seriously messed up
[16:39] <lotuspsychje> EmJayCeeDee: can we help you?
[16:39] <pragmaticenigma> EmJayCeeDee: What exactly are you trying to do?
[16:40] <Habbie> ah, looks like it's resolved
[16:40] <EmJayCeeDee> seems like the ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Software Updater" is hardwired into many systems
[16:40] <EmJayCeeDee> there must be a simplistic way to kill the whole thing
[16:40] <lotuspsychje> EmJayCeeDee: you already said that, and it doesnt make sense
[16:40] <Habbie> EmJayCeeDee, please stop repeating yourself
[16:40] <EmJayCeeDee> All of it; I want updates to be manual
[16:40] <pragmaticenigma> ferz: Did you modify your /etc/hosts file?
[16:41] <EmJayCeeDee> (sorry)
[16:41] <ferz> pragmaticenigma: no.
[16:42] <tomreyn> ferz: systemd-resolve namecheap.com 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:42] <tomreyn> ferz: and then:   systemd-resolve --status 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:42] <pragmaticenigma> EmJayCeeDee: Software Center is only an interface. As far as updates, Ubuntu by default sets itself up to check for updates once per day. It only checks, but does not apply the updates. Under certain conditions, a window will open to prompt you to install updates. Usually those updates are critical and you should consider installing them as soon as possible.
[16:44] <EmJayCeeDee> the thing is
[16:44] <pragmaticenigma> EmJayCeeDee: If you wish to stop all automation. You can go into the System Settings, and open "Software & Updates", Go to the "Updates" tab, and toggle the "Automatically check for updates" to your preferred setting
[16:44] <EmJayCeeDee> I want to block all updates' have it be purely manual
[16:45] <EmJayCeeDee> I have done that to the minimal settings
[16:46] <pragmaticenigma> EmJayCeeDee: That is the only supported method. Have you done a reboot since setting those?
[16:46] <ferz> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/b0dg https://termbin.com/9jss  Telecom ADSL is the italian ISP of this connection.
[16:48] <EmJayCeeDee> pragmaticenigma, not yet I will do so and report back
[16:48] <EmJayCeeDee> thanks for your time xoxo
[16:48] <pragmaticenigma> ferz: Do you have any devices on your home network that are attempting to filter/block advertisers?
[16:49] <ferz> pragmaticenigma: no. Any devices of that kind.
[16:49] <pragmaticenigma> ferz: If you have another computer on the same network, is that one also experiencing the same issue?
[16:49] <ferz> pragmaticenigma: just some minutes and I try.
[16:50] <tomreyn> ferz: the resolver (or dns proxy) at 192.168.1.1 is likely returning incorrect results then.    dig namecheap.com @192.168.1.1 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:51] <pragmaticenigma> tomreyn: I assume the address 192.168.1.1 is most likely their home network router/gateway. A lot of cheap ones assign themselves as the DNS provider and proxy the requests out
[16:52] <tomreyn> ferz: 192.168.1.1 is probably your ADSL modem/router/wireless AP. unless you configured it to use custom nameservers this seems to suggest that the nameservers your ISP provides return those incorrect results.
[16:52] <tomreyn> pragmaticenigma: right, my thinking, too.
[16:53] <tomreyn> chances are telecom italia prefers selling domain names to you over having namecheap do it ;)
[16:54] <ferz> tomreyn & pragmaticenigma: thank you. Yes, it's the ISP that filters that domain.  I've to force another dns resolver instead of default dhcp provided.
[16:55] <ferz> Can I just write new entries in /etc/resolver.conf or I've to disable something else?
[16:56] <tomreyn> /etc/resolv.conf is usually a symlink. if you want it to be static you'd delete the symlink and create a file instead.
[16:59] <ZeroCostAbstract> can i add a PPA to Ubuntu without installing software-properties-common first?
[16:59] <pragmaticenigma> ferz: I would change the setting in your home router to use a DNS provider that doesn't limit your connection.
[16:59] <ZeroCostAbstract> i know there's some etc apt sources.list magic going on
[16:59] <ferz> pragmaticenigma: it's not my home, I'm a guest.
[16:59] <ZeroCostAbstract> but i dont know specifically what
[17:00] <ferz> pragmaticenigma: and I would prefer a temporary setting to be able to use namecheap.com to renew my domain :D
[17:01] <pragmaticenigma> ferz: I'm not familiar with the network settings in ubuntu, sorry... I know another volunteer here will be able to help
[17:01] <pragmaticenigma> ZeroCostAbstract: You should be able to add repositories with "add-apt-repository" if you're getting other requirements, there's a reason and you should include them
[17:02] <ZeroCostAbstract> this is for a docker
[17:02] <ZeroCostAbstract> software-commons is just a helper script that helps you get around PPAs
[17:03] <ZeroCostAbstract> an abstraction, and im having difficulties figuring out what it does, since i don't have an ubuntu machine on me to play around with
[17:04] <tomreyn> ferz: for a temporary setting, it's best to specify your desired nameservers in the network manager connection profile
[17:07] <tomreyn> ferz: i.e. click on the network connection icon on the top right of your screen and navigate to "wireless connection settings", then click on cog button on the connection you're currently using (which is ticked), click on the IPv4 tab, and add any nameservers, comma seperated, on the DNS line, then click on Apply on the top right corner of the window.
[17:07] <tomreyn> optionally do the same for ipv6 if you have it
[17:07] <ferz> tomreyn: thank you
[17:08] <tomreyn> to be able to edit the "DNS" line you need to disable "automatic" for dns
[17:29] <pragmaticenigma> ZeroCostAbstract: Sorry for the delay... Docker images are not supported here. As you've noticed, they provide shims to get around various requirements. The volunteers here rely on the official documentation for Ubuntu to provide answers to your questions. Because of those customizations, you need to talk to the maintainer of the docker image for support.
[17:30] <ZeroCostAbstract> understandable
[17:30] <ZeroCostAbstract> thanks
[17:36] <ferz> tomreyn: thank you again.
[17:37] <tomreyn> you're still welcome.
[17:37] <Fevix> Is there a way to get PrintScreen and SHift+PrintScreen to go to the clipboard instead of to the disk? I'm used to SNipping Tool and Gyazo on windows where it's easy to share, but with UBuntu there's a few extra steps (Either keep the location it saves to open, or open it every time you want to share)
[17:39] <pragmaticenigma> Fevix: You could look into something like Shutter Screenshot Tool. For additional software recommendations, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:42] <tomreyn> Fevix: ctrl-printscreen, ctrl-shit-printscreen
[17:42] <tomreyn> * shiFt ;-)
[17:43] <pragmaticenigma> I believe they're looking for something that doesn't automatically save to disk, but instead offers the ability to take a screenshot and immediately have an option to share it
[17:43] <Fevix> tomreyn, that's exactly what I was looking for thanks!
[17:43] <tomreyn> you're welcome.
[17:43] <Fevix> I don't mind it saving to disk, I just want it to also stick it straight to the clipboard for pasting where I want
[17:43] <pragmaticenigma> ah, okay
[17:44] <Fevix> eg., into a Discord chat, or to Imgur, etc. I just don't want to hunt down the folder every time I want to share part/all of my screen
[17:44] <Fevix> Thanks!
[17:45] <Fevix> ALso that doesn't actually save it to disk. I just opened the folder and it's still empty so A++
[17:52] <funhouse86> HI guys, so I installed redis, I setup the config correctly, and I keep getting this error --> Jan 02 00:50:14 ip-10-0-1-239 systemd[1]: redis-server.service: Can't open PID file /var/run/redis/redis-server.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory
[17:52] <funhouse86> The file is there though
[18:01] <savavasa> check privileges for that file
[18:01] <pragmaticenigma> funhouse86: If the file is already there, that would mean either redis is already running, or there is a stale file present from a previous crash.
[18:01] <pragmaticenigma> funhouse86: PID files are supposed to be removed when an application successfully terminates
[18:02] <savavasa> true ^
[18:02] <funhouse86> pragmaticenigma hmm ok so when I shutdown if it's still there, do I just delete the folder and or file?
[18:02] <funhouse86> savavasa ok, what should the privileges be?
[18:03] <pragmaticenigma> funhouse86: I would look through ps -aux to make sure that redis isn't already running. If it isn't running, you should be able to remove the file safely
[18:03] <savavasa> I think pragmaticenigma is right
[18:03] <funhouse86> ok pragmaticenigma thank you I will try that
[18:06] <deadrom> problem with my Wacom: after installign hwe kernels and xserver/inputs pressure sensitivity doesn't work anymore. is there a new keyword in wacom settings?
[18:15] <aberrant> hi all
[18:15] <aberrant> I'm running headless. Is it ok to disable packagekit? I keep getting "packagekit.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM" in syslog
[18:17] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: You should be safe to disable it. I do not recommend removing it
[18:19] <aberrant> pragmaticenigma: thanks. I notice that when I mask it, apt update gives a warning
[18:19] <aberrant> pragmaticenigma: after I unmask it, it restarts.
[18:19] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: apt is checking packagekit to make sure it isn't in the process of doing the same process
[18:20] <pragmaticenigma> *isn't performing the same action
[18:20] <aberrant> pragmaticenigma: is there a way to mask packagekit AND get rid of those warnings?
[18:21] <aberrant> the thing is, if I stop packagekit and then disable packagekit, it restarts when I run apt.
[18:21] <pragmaticenigma> Does the warning prevent apt from completing its taks?
[18:21] <aberrant> pragmaticenigma: I don't think so
[18:21] <pragmaticenigma> I would ignore the warning
[18:21] <aberrant> pragmaticenigma: ok, I'll do that.
[18:21] <aberrant> pragmaticenigma: I don't know why I'm geting TERM logs in syslog every day
[18:22] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: The warning is there because the configuration isn't expected. As long as the warning is apt not appreciating that PackageKit isn't already running, I don't believe there is any reason to be concerned
[18:23] <aberrant> ok. I'll give it a try
[18:25] <aberrant> thank you
[18:25] <aberrant> just fyi:
[18:25] <aberrant> Hit:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security InRelease
[18:25] <aberrant> Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit packagekit.service is masked.
[18:25] <aberrant> Reading package lists... Done
[18:27] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: I suspect that apt is attempting to send a message over the bus to trigger the GUI to display a dialog that updates are available
[18:27] <aberrant> no updates are available though :(
[18:27] <aberrant> you recommend not removing it entirely?
[18:27] <pragmaticenigma> I don't know what the implications are
[18:27] <aberrant> nod.
[18:28] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: If it was me, I'd search the web for articles on setting up Ubuntu in a headless fashion, and try to find those that mention packagekit
[18:29] <aberrant> the thing is, I didn't select any package options on install. It just decided to install all this stuff.
[18:29] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: Is the system running any virtualized desktop environments/
[18:30] <aberrant> pragmaticenigma: yes. It's my kvm hypervisor
[18:30] <aberrant> the guests are also headless
[18:30] <aberrant> so, no - no virtualized *desktop* envs
[18:31] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: not virtualized machines... virtualized desktops, as in the machine hosts the ability for users to remotely connect to a desktop session
[18:31] <aberrant> but libvirt installs X and a bunch of other gui stuff for the VNC option (which I don't use)
[18:31] <aberrant> oh. sorry. no. not that I'm aware.
[18:35] <pragmaticenigma> aberrant: Not entirely sure. Though this might be a good question to raise in #ubuntu-server ?
[18:35] <aberrant> ah, I wasn't aware of that channel. I'll ask there. Thanks.
[18:48] <ZeroCostAbstract> is it a thing to use a dockerfile to produce a binary, to then be used for something completely different on the machine?
[18:49] <ZeroCostAbstract> oops wrong irc
[18:49] <ZeroCostAbstract> sorry still new
[18:51] <No_Hat> guys why some arch users hate ubuntu ?

[19:11] <chapman_r> Good morning and Happy New Year all.  I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and trying to set up Postfix to use an Exchange server as a relay.  I have read and followed numerous guides and instructions but I cannot get it to authenticate properly using PLAIN, LOGIN or NTLM which the Exchange server supports LOGIN/NTLM.  Any help with this would be most
[19:11] <chapman_r> appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[19:18] <OerHeks> chapman_r, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server
[19:19] <chapman_r> OerHeks, will do thanks.
[19:20] <aberrant> tomreyn: sorry for the delay
[19:20] <aberrant> tomreyn: daemon.warning: Dec 29 02:17:17 elemental systemd[1]:  packagekit.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM
[19:20] <aberrant> tomreyn: this is 19.10 - I get multiple messages per day
[19:20] <aberrant> if I remove packagekit I also remove ubuntu-server, which I probably don't want to remove.
[19:25] <tomreyn> aberrant: hmm, i see, i haven't seen those service failures so far, but am not running 19.10.
[19:26] <aberrant> tomreyn: ok, thanks.
[19:26] <aberrant> I really think I should remove ubuntu-server.
[19:26] <tomreyn> you could look for existing bug reports and workarounds they may discuss, if you haven't
[19:27] <aberrant> yeah, there are a few bug reports, but nothing that helps.
[19:28] <aberrant> brb
[19:30] <tomreyn> from what i read, packagekit gets killed if it runs into debconf prompts, after sittig on them for like 20 minutes or so.
[19:30] <tomreyn> maybe that's what you're seeing there, if you have 3rd party software?
[19:33] <TenLeftFingers> Just installed 19.10 and it comes with Gnome Shell (I'm used to Unity). There is a problem in that there are 4 rows of bars when I use Firefox (main bar, window bar, row of tabs, url bar). Is there a way to integrate those better like Unity?
[19:33] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
[19:34] <OerHeks> aberrant, i would try; sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* && sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists  ### and then run apt update again
[19:37] <corshmock> Hi, is anyone any good at Bridged Networking?  I'm trying to get a VM working.
[19:42] <TenLeftFingers> Just found an extension (forgot about that mechanism) called Unite. It'll do.

[20:30] <deadrom> is there a Wacom setup gui tool for not-gnome/not-kde users?
[20:36] <il> hi
[20:37] <il> can i tunnel ubuntu with vpn?
[20:37] <bprompt> allo
[20:38] <bprompt> deadrom:  you can always install the gnome/gtk/kde tool on whatever distribution you have and run it, it'll simply install extra libs for the tool to run, but the GUI tools for WACOM should work, independently of what windows or desktop manager you're running
[20:39] <deadrom> bprompt: the gnome/kde setup tools are not binaries you call from bin, they are... bob knows what. kde/plasma calls it from a plasma lib call, and I don't know where it will store the config.
[20:42] <bprompt> deadrom:  kde stores about 90% of kde apps under ~/.kde/share/config or ~.kde/share/apps, some use ~/.kde/share/kde4 or such as well, but not many
[20:43] <deadrom> bprompt: but how do i call kde/plasma system settings from non-kde?
[20:43] <bprompt> hmmm
[20:44] <bprompt> deadrom:  I don't have a wacom tablet, but I'd think the plasma widget all it does is call a binary, which is independent of the kde plasma
[20:48] <bprompt> but there's a way to run plasma widgets
[20:48] <bprompt> from the command line that is..... shoot can't quite recall the command, I think uses "plasma" binary or so

[21:14] <weskrasko> Hello again. I got a replacement for my bad SSD from yesterday. Ready to re-install Ubuntu. Last time around I went with ext4 for reasons I can't remember. Is that still recommended or should I be using reiserfs now?
[21:15] <weskrasko> Actually, it's no longer an option! I am installing 18.04 and I see others, btrfs, JFS, and XFS (along with the ExtX ones of course)
[21:16] <weskrasko> This is for a home desktop BTW, sometimes I use it for dev but not often.
[21:16] <leftyfb> stick with ext4
[21:19] <weskrasko> Awesome, thanks!
[21:22] <adamcunnington> Hi. I'm on ubuntu inside of WSL. I can start a windows app by just doing /mnt/c/path/to/.exe
[21:23] <adamcunnington> My question is how do I run a windows executable in the background - i want to start a windows daemon service in background when i launch bash; i don't want to capture any output; the terminal should be immediately available
[21:23] <adamcunnington> if i had xfce installed, i'd do something like start "" /B "C:\path\to\.exe" but i don't have xfce; i'm running ubuntu terminal only env
[21:29] <Bashing-om> !wsl | adamcunnington A better response in:
[21:29] <_Random_> need help, its been a long time since using ubuntu
[21:30] <Bashing-om> !ask | _Random_
[21:30] <_Random_> my install with nvidia gpu has failed.. Just started recovery, logged in with ssh to "$"
[21:30] <_Random_> but can't get to root..
[21:30] <adamcunnington> Bashing-om ok thx
[21:31] <_Random_> what is the command used to be sudo -i
[21:31] <_Random_> other distros its just su  or su -i
[21:32] <Bashing-om> adamcunnington: Others here may have the WSL experience -but the dedidated channelis there.
[21:32] <adamcunnington> ok thx
[21:32] <_Random_> im logged in with ssh  but cant access root
[21:32] <leftyfb> adamcunnington: WSL isn't meant to run Windows applications within Ubuntu
[21:32] <leftyfb> _Random_: sudo su
[21:33] <adamcunnington> that's not true at all
[21:33] <_Random_> thanks
[21:33] <adamcunnington> leftyfb https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop
[21:33] <_Random_> bash: sudo: command not found
[21:33] <adamcunnington> leftyfb and you obviously haven't had much exposure to wsl... one of the biggest discussions that is documented on both ubuntu docs as well as windows docs is the need to run pulseaudio inside of windows to enable ubuntu within wsl to play sound
[21:34] <_Random_> ive just gone into recovery & installed openssh-server & then logged in from another pc. but i cant access root
[21:34] <leftyfb> adamcunnington: I have plenty of exposure to WSL. But I use it develop in an ubuntu environment and don't try to do silly things like run Windows applications in it. Good luck in #ubuntu-on-windows
[21:35] <_Random_> as my monitor is a tv on the ubuntu os as im going to use it as a media pc
[21:35] <adamcunnington> leftyfb please stop being ignorant. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL?_ga=2.253445577.1309732669.1577998630-1530869218.1577998630#Enabling_Sound
[21:35] <leftyfb> _Random_: if sudo isn't found, then you're not running Ubuntu
[21:36] <_Random_> running 19.10
[21:36] <adamcunnington> leftyfb I also use ubuntu within wsl as a dev environment. If my application entails playing sound (which it does), i'd quite like the necessary windows software (pulse audio windows binary) to be run automatically by .bashrc thanks. a VERY reasonable use case that is all over the internet as lots and lots and lots of people are doing it
[21:36] <_Random_> as stated just installed fresh,  boot failed due nvidia graphics quadro k1200 maxwell gm107gl
[21:37] <leftyfb> _Random_: Ubuntu has sudo. If you don't have it, then it's either not running Ubuntu or you're actually in a busybox environment or your filesystem is damaged beyond repair
[21:37] <_Random_> so logged in via recovery
[21:37] <_Random_> then installed ssh directly
[21:37] <leftyfb> _Random_: how did you install ssh without sudo?
[21:38] <OerHeks> adamcunnington, no support for WSL, you have been given the proper channel for that, no?
[21:38] <_Random_> directly from the pc not via ssh
[21:38] <adamcunnington> i have yes, was just responding to leftyfb's remarks
[21:38] <_Random_> i just ran sudo su on the pc its recognised
[21:38] <leftyfb> _Random_: ok, can you run sudo on the pc?
[21:38] <_Random_> but not recognised from shell
[21:38] <leftyfb> ok, then you were not ssh'd into that machine before
[21:38] <_Random_> but not recognised from ssh
[21:39] <leftyfb> _Random_: on both the pc and via ssh, run: "ip add" and confirm the ip address
[21:39] <_Random_> i have "$" access on ssh but not '#"
[21:39] <leftyfb> _Random_: $ is user, # is root
[21:40] <_Random_> ip add
[21:40] <Bashing-om> !info nvidia-driver-440 eoan
[21:40] <leftyfb> _Random_: yes, run that on the pc console and via ssh
[21:42] <adamcunnington> How would I run an executable in background and ignore all output?
[21:42] <adamcunnington> foo & >> null ?
[21:43] <OerHeks> how do I run a windows executable in the background .. turn monitor off?
[21:44] <_Random_> ahh.. im a dumb ass. thought i was logged into ssh was not
[21:44] <_Random_> so now i get
[21:44] <_Random_> System is booting up. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in yet
[21:44] <adamcunnington> OerHeks i'm asking about a ubuntu executable
[21:44] <adamcunnington> OerHeks I don't think my question is actually windows specific - how, in ubuntu, would i run any application in background ignoring all output
[21:44] <adamcunnington> i.e. start a daemon service (without using systemd or similar)
[21:45] <_Random_> can run from the pc but the graphics are disjointed as it's a TV not a monitor
[21:46] <leftyfb> adamcunnington: yourcommand &>/dev/null
[21:47] <_Random_> ok ruuning upgrades from the pc..
[21:47] <_Random_> so how can I  fix my boot issues with my gpu
[21:48] <leftyfb> _Random_: how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[21:48] <_Random_> I have 2 gpu..I need to disable  the intel xeon  as I have lead that will plug in to the TV monitor with it
[21:49] <Bashing-om> _Random_: That new of a card, you may in deed need a proprietary driver. What shows ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' As Nvidia recommends the 440 version driver.
[21:49] <_Random_> and setup the nvidia k1200 gm107gl maxwell chip
[21:50] <_Random_> they are 435,430 & 390 nvidias
[21:53] <Bashing-om> _Random_: And ... what have you done to attempt an install of a propriatary driver ?
[21:53] <_Random_> ive just ran lspci | grep -i --color 'vga\|3d\|2d'
[21:53] <_Random_> only the nvidia quadro card is listed
[21:54] <Bashing-om> _Random_: ' sudo lshw -C display '?
[21:54] <leftyfb> _Random_: you installed Ubuntu 19.10. Then what did you do/run after to install nvidia drivers before rebooting and being forced into recovery mode?
[21:55] <adamcunnington> leftyfb in case you are interested, I figured it out
[21:55] <adamcunnington> cmd.exe /c start "" /B "C:\Program Files\PulseAudio\bin\pulseaudio.exe" &>/dev/null
[21:55] <adamcunnington> OerHeks likewise ^
[21:56] <adamcunnington> cmd.exe /c makes the cmd quit instantly, but not before starting the thing in the background; and then output of whole thing sent to /dev/null
[21:56] <leftyfb> adamcunnington: looks exactly like what I gave you. You're welcome. And you lied about it being an ubuntu application you were running.
[21:56] <adamcunnington> leftyfb I never said it was an ubuntu application - re-read
 OerHeks i'm asking about a ubuntu executable
[21:57] <adamcunnington> leftyfb looks nothing like what you gave me. the significant bit that was tricky was cmd.exe /c start "" /B
[21:57] <_Random_> Bashing-om: only list the gm107gl
[21:57] <leftyfb> adamcunnington: that has nothing to do with Ubuntu. What I gave you answers: "how, in ubuntu, would i run any application in background ignoring all output"
[21:57] <hggdh> adamcunnington: yes, because this is a Windows command
[21:57] <adamcunnington> OerHeks out of context. That was later when I was asking SPECIFICALLY about how one would go about running an ubuntu application in background
[21:57] <OerHeks> .... troll
[21:57] <hggdh> OerHeks: please don't
[21:57] <adamcunnington> because for all intents and purposes with WSL interopability, cmd.exe is treated as an ubuntu application
[21:58] <adamcunnington> OerHeks no, not a troll. you have failed to understand. that's not my fault. i haven't trolled once.
[21:58] <OerHeks> abure of volunteers, it is.
[21:58] <adamcunnington> Re-read the entire conversation and you will realise where you have mistepped; I have not.
[21:58] <leftyfb> adamcunnington: it's not supported here. Please take all further support to #ubuntu-on-windows
[21:58] <_Random_> leftyfb:  after install boot failed, I could not access anything except via recovery, so installed openssh-server & just ran upgrades
[21:58] <adamcunnington> leftyfb, I have arrived at a solution and I was sharing that solution. I don't know what you are talking about.
[21:58] <leftyfb> _Random_: reinstall again.
[21:58] <hggdh> OK. This is done here. If you all want to keep on discussing this, please do it elsewhere
[21:59] <_Random_> i will end up at the same point..
[21:59] <adamcunnington> I don't, I was just sharing the result of my search :|. Thanks.
[21:59] <Bashing-om> _Random_: That suggest that the Intel chip set is disabled in Bios - anything for Intel: lspci -k | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' ?
[22:02] <_Random_> Bashing-om:  no.. just :00 nvidia gpu
[22:02] <_Random_> and 01: audio nvidia audio
[22:02] <_Random_> zero intel listed
[22:04] <_Random_> should i follow this
[22:04] <_Random_> https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
[22:04] <_Random_> sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[22:06] <Bashing-om> _Random_: Well, untill the kernel sees the hardware thereisnoway to install drivers, We are looking for the "controller". See my Nvidia results: https://termbin.com/zl0a .
[22:07] <Joel> any way to set an environment variable across all active open sessions for a given user?
[22:08] <_Random_> kernel in use ill photo & send it in after i boot my phone
[22:09] <r416> Hey Im running 18.04 and have been trying to use mdadm to convert to raid 1. I got the raid working but after a reboot im getting: error: attempt to read or write outside of partition. Then I see the grub rescue screen. Also when booting from a live USB and using fdisk the raid partition isn't there and it says my gpt partition table is corrupt
[22:11] <_Random_> whats a good paste for photos

[22:13] <_Random_> https://imgur.com/a/zkNfLsb
[22:14] <_Random_> guys thanks for the help & happy new year to all
[22:15] <_Random_> what should i do now
[22:16] <Bashing-om> _Random_: That lshw output says that there is a nvidia driver loaded. ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' will tell which one.
[22:20] <_Random_> its the 435
[22:22] <_Random_> 435.21
[22:22] <Bashing-om> _Random_: "should" workie; I can not advise,however, on how to configure to work on a TV for a monitor.
[22:23] <_Random_> the only ports from the card are mini display ports
[22:23] <_Random_> i use mini dispay to hdmi
[22:23] <_Random_> into the tv monitor
[22:24] <OerHeks> that might explain the issues?
[22:24] <secsonthebeach> Hello. Is anyone familiar with the live-build workflow?
[22:24] <secsonthebeach> I am working on a custom image for my team, but am wanting to include code and tools from GitHub. what is the best approach to pulling and including such things? I'm reading through the manual thinking that pulling the source in during image build, and then compiling and installing during boot would be best. Additionally, my goal is to create an image that can be used either live or installed.
[22:24] <_Random_> I'm not much of a techie, so I can understand clearly.. based on whats listed here it should boot correctly
[22:25] <OerHeks> secsonthebeach, we don't do 'build my own linux' , there is however Cubic, good luck! https://askubuntu.com/questions/741753/how-to-use-cubic-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-image
[22:27] <secsonthebeach> I'll check it out. thanks!
[22:32] <Bashing-om> _Random_: What I do not know will fill a large volume. Is this muxless graphics? What results when you run: /usr/bin/prime-supported ; that generates /var/log/prime-supported.log, which may be useful in such cases.
[22:37] <Bashing-om> _Random_: MUX-less:  Optimus chipsets - that is, dual GPUs where the outputs are NOT switched between the GPUs using a multiplexer.  (muxless -- that is that the graphics are not multiplexed through the Intel chip. Most systems are now muxless, but that is not universal.)- nvidia (Discrete GPU) output is through the Intel (Intergrated GPU) graphic's set.
[22:38] <_Random_> offloading required abort
[22:39] <_Random_> Bashing-om: the intel is disabled
[22:39] <_Random_> in the bios
[22:40] <Bashing-om> _Random_: the Intel GPU would need to be active since MUX-less works by the nvidia doing the work but the Intel writing the framebuffer to the outputs, rather than with MUX systems where each GPU writes to its own framebuffers, and the outputs are switched between the 2 GPUs.
[22:42] <_Random_> both nouveau & nvidia are listed, in my image can we disable the nouveau
[22:45] <Bashing-om> _Random_: "kernel driver in use: Nvidia" . Those other modules listed are only available for use.
[22:46] <_Random_> ok thanks
[22:47] <_Random_> i apprciate your effort
[22:51] <Bashing-om> _Random_: See what results when the Intel chip set is enabled and make sure that a Intel driver is loaded.
