[00:15] jackhum: how the heck did you manage to have a firefox 56? did anything on the internet work? [00:35] sarnold, i had apt installed old version along with new quantum which i availed from snap or ubuntu store as far i remember [00:36] jackhum: and how did you not update for two years? [00:43] I formatted a usb drive in the ubuntu 'disk' system preferences and overwrote the data. it says it takes a longer time. I had a small 1GB drive that I did this twice to, and it took the same amount of time each run. Is this just running shred or wipe or dd (or something else)? [00:43] Seems like it's overwriting data and then erasing it. What utility is this using under the hood? [00:47] jayjo: Most formatting is doesn't overwrite the data unless you instruct it to. If it is overwriting the data, it would most likely use something "dd" using either /dev/zero or /dev/urandom as a source [02:33] Ubuntu is lagging behind in releasing updated Firefox. :S [02:34] k_sze: https://usn.ubuntu.com/4234-1/ [02:35] sarnold, odd. Must be the Hong Kong mirror(s) always being laggards? [02:36] ftp.cuhk.edu.hk, to be precise.

[03:24] elphias: I believe this is where you'd need to start if you want to use TCG OPAL SED https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil [03:25] ok thank you, any other pointers? [03:26] elphias: none that I know of [03:26] so just download and install? [03:34] oh dear, this is not as easy as i thought it would be, would someone be able to assist me? [03:35] i found this on the github site, but am unclear as to how to use it [03:35] https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/wiki/Building-sedutil [03:35] some hand holding would be much appriciated [03:36] hi [03:36] hi does anyone here use ARdour? [03:36] Ardour [03:36] im having some trouble starting it and getting JACK to work [03:37] my user is in the audio group [03:37] elphias: tbh I've never heard of anyone actually *using* it [03:37] oh [03:37] well i would like to [03:37] and in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf its set to use rt scheduling and unlimited mem [03:37] but i cannot do it by myself this is very much complex [03:37] but when i start JACK it bitches about not being able to allocate 82megs [03:37] or start RT [03:37] elphias: we were asked to include it so it could be used, but given the .. ahem .. average quality of most drives' encryption support, we figured it'd be better to tell people to use LUKS instead [03:38] luks? [03:38] linux's software full disk encryption stuff [03:38] the "full disk encryption" that's exposed in the installer [03:38] oh i have an encryption password at boot for ubuntu, is that the same thing? [03:39] elphias: probably [03:39] i am going to reinstall to enable LUKs [03:39] anyone have issues with cbs all access on ubuntu desktop? [03:39] it worked fine until the new year..then...blammo...2004 error. [03:40] it seems like its probably a drm issue similar to disney + [03:40] elphias: do you see dm_crypt in lsmod output? [03:41] sarnold, yes it's there [03:42] dm_crypt 40960 [03:42] elphias: then you're probably already using the luks full disk encryption [03:42] I should really know it better but I didn't have any troubles setting it up on my system so I've never done any troubleshooting.. [03:42] though the day I forgot my password sucked. [03:42] sarnold, and this is better than the encryption that the ssd is capable of? [03:43] elphias: it's tough to say. a lot of hard drive firmware folks are *terrible* at it; it's hard to be sure since they don't publish their source code.. [03:44] elphias: here's a recent paper https://www.ru.nl/publish/pages/909282/draft-paper.pdf [03:46] has anyone had a total data loss with ubuntu with a hardware raid 10 after shutting down the server properly and having it offline for a HR? [03:47] i want to mogrify but E: Package 'imagemagick' has no installation candidate [03:47] what is the candidate? [03:47] sarnold, the paper says ssd encruption stuff has flaws, and to not soley rely on it, so would a combo of luks and sedutil be safer then just relying on ssd self encryption alone? [03:48] elphias: yes, I believe so; LUKS has significantly more peer review than the self-encrypting drives, so I trust LUKS far more [03:49] sarnold, so what about using both methods of encryption? if ssd self encryption is flawed, and luks has it's own flaws, would not combining the two methods on the same system make the ssd more secure? [03:50] sarnold, you'd theoretically have hardware encryption backed by software, or would that be stupid? [03:50] !info imagemagick bionic | fishcooker : what relese are you on ? : [03:50] fishcooker: you'll have to do more investigation -- a package named 'imagemagick' exists and should pull in the 'real' imagemagick package as needed, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick [03:50] fishcooker : what relese are you on ? :: imagemagick (source: imagemagick): image manipulation programs -- binaries.

[03:55] sarnold, well right now i'm using cubic to make a personalised iso of my ubuntu install, which is taking a very long time to compress the image, that and my daily backup to an old spinning rust drive should enable me to get back up and running very quickly if something goes wrong. this is for my personal laptop, i've spent alot of time and effort on making my system as secure as possible with vpn, and modifications to the way ubuntu deals with internet [03:55] things, this would be the final step in securing my system if i choose to do it [03:55] ok so how do you run the xorg clients you want with xinit?

[05:08] how to know the pixel size of the image cli would be appreciated [05:08] wha do u mean, om? [05:09] sumagna: It is rare indeed that grub is ever installed to other than the device. [05:09] meaning the root? [05:10] what device are you talking about? [05:10] the drive or the root? [05:10] sumagna: Win10 == UEFI, And I have no UEFI experience to ofer good guidance. [05:10] mine win 10 is legacy boot [05:13] i didnt select any device and it still says that it has found the images and windows 10 [05:13] and also i installed grub into the hdd [05:13] sumagna: Pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu ' so we know what we are working with.

[05:18] sda4 is root [05:19] and sda2 is an extra volume i made for keeping my files in ubuntu seperate from the root/home directory [05:19] sumagna: You have the problem system booted ? [05:19] ? [05:20] Bashing-om: what? [05:21] sumagna: Grub can be RE-installed, the method depends however on what you can boot up. [05:21] ? [05:21] what do u mean [05:21] ? [05:23] Bashing-om: hello? [05:24] sumagna: My communications skills leave a lot to be desired - for now we need to determine what we can do about grub. To that end, when you boot sda, what do you boot to ? [05:24] i boot generally into ubuntu and sometimes into windows 10 [05:26] sumagna: Now though --- what is the nature of your current problem ? What are you able to boot about sda ? [05:26] i didnt reboot so i cant say [05:27] i reinstalled grub pc btw [05:28] it found everything, like the images , windows 10. it found ALL of that [05:29] sumagna: What shows ' sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub ' ?

[05:31] t didnt output anything [05:31] Bashing-om: it didnt output anything [05:32] sumagna: Means system had no issues that it was aware of.

[05:51] i understand that [05:51] fixed the wifi [05:52] my laptop's wifi hardware has problems with ubuntu 19.10 [05:52] it had the problem before and it has the problem still now === Leion1 is now known as Leion [06:17] I forget how to input Unicode diacritics in GNOME desktop. [06:42] i'm currently using cubic to create a customized iso of ubuntu, what i would like to do is completely mirror the settings and packages that i currently have installed in the os in the cubic chroot enviroment, but this seems to be a daunting task to install each and every app individually, is there an easier way? something that would scan my system for settings and apps and configs and allow cubic to access them with a simple command rather than a hundred [06:42] dozen diffrent ones? i've done so much customization to this system that i cannot really remember everything i've done or how i've done it. >.< [06:54] Where is the unofficial support for ubuntu? [06:54] vadre: is that a serious question? [06:55] ryuo: yes ubuntu stopped supporting realtime audio with lucid [06:55] you mean low latency kernels? [06:56] ryuo: rt or realtime [06:56] file format? [06:56] an echelon above lowlatency [06:57] good - better - best is as to standard kernel - lowlatency - realtime [06:57] !rt [06:57] the RT kernel is the Linux kernel with a realtime preemption patch applied. It is not available in Ubuntu. See also !lowlatency [06:58] about what year was lucid released - eol, I guess I am going back to the days when spellcheck was for spelling and not spying [06:58] !lucid [06:58] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support ended on April 30 2015. See https://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. [06:58] yeah that was likely a golden year 2015 [06:59] I suppose the other option is to install mainline ubuntustudio and build a rt patched kernel from kernel.org [07:00] vadre: Why do you need a realtime kernel in a desktop machine? realtime is for embedded. If you use a realtime kernel in a desktop machine, the security implications are astronomical as all it takes is for an attacker to gain access to your machine and set a malicious process to RT, and you lose control of your computer. [07:01] noman is an island [07:01] can I remove evolution on 18.04 but still keep gnome? [07:01] FaTaL_G: so you want your desktop to devolve. got it.

[13:33] sliddjur: both internal DNS servers? [13:33] leftyb other dns requests work. Just fqdn ending in .local from this particular host [13:33] leftyb both internal. [13:34] sliddjur: ok, so it seems to me, one of those DNS servers isn't resolving correctly. I would suggest configuring only 1 of them and seeing how things go. Then switch and see if it makes a difference. [13:34] @leftyb they are resolving correctly. [13:34] only .local doesnt resolv. because request never leaves my machine [13:34] sliddjur, you can try to change the Domain string in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf with something like 'mydomain.local' and restart systemd-resolved [13:35] ioria everything is commented out in that file. [13:35] i know [13:36] ah, sorry [13:36] sliddjur: do you have a search setting in your netplan config? [13:36] leftby no search settings. [13:37] though, I don't think you can actually put a TLD in there. Boy, your server admin is pretty dumb [13:38] sliddjur: look in /etc/nsswitch.conf, specifically the hosts entry [13:38] sliddjur: I'm hoping you have mdns4_minimal in there that can be removed, but being a server without avahi installed, I doubt it [13:42] leftyfb no [13:42] just files dns and myhostname correct? [13:43] sliddjur, can you show that full dig output that has the FORMERR? [13:44] Hello everyone! I'm kinda having a problem (not really a problem). This message shows up every time I boot up. https://pasteboard.co/IPkdVBt.png I'm using Ubuntu MATE 19.10. [13:45] Although, I don't think there is any problem [13:45] I mean, I haven't noticed any [13:45] Guest28779, check your /var/crash [13:46] okay [13:47] Guest28779, ls -al gives you an hint about what app crashed and the timestamp [13:48] leftyb https://paste.fuckingjuniper.com/?d4c221174b09ed9f#YW9W91c9MnQMC9htrgTQsdJ0SwdnXkVe6nnEdOLXyXQ= [13:48] yeah, I did "ls -la" ioria [13:48] leftyb but it never leaves system. [13:49] It seems like timeshift, lios and macro have crashed [13:49] But, what's macro? [13:49] I know timeshift and lios have crashed a couple of times some time agoo [13:50] Guest28779, if you want you can save those files somewhere else (or remove them) and reboot [13:51] ioria: Will that stop that message from popping up every time I boot? [13:51] Guest28779, it should [13:52] ioria: Okay, I'll try that, and if it works, I'll note it down somewhere so that I don't forget when the same thing happens again. Thanks :) [13:53] Guest28779, ok [14:17] Hi y'all! I have some troubles with the gcc version of my system. I installed gcc 9.2.0 a few weeks ago because of some stupid thing and had it defined as the default version. I now want to revert back to the regular 7.4.0 so I uninstalled gcc-9.2.0. However, when I call gcc -v it still says gcc 9.2.0 even though 9.2.0 is not installed anymore === Israphel is now known as Guest86085 [14:18] Tolhsadum: does apt complain about anything? === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel [14:18] No it doesn't seem to bother it [14:19] And the weird thing is that the symlinks seem to point to the right gcc-7.4.0 version [14:22] Tolhsadum: if gcc --version reports it is 7.4.0, then readlink -f $(which gcc) should tell you where this is. and dpkg -S /path/to/this/gcc would tell you whihc package it belongs to [14:24] also check alias gcc in case you defined one, as well as the CC environment variable (use "env") [14:25] tomreyn: gcc --version says 9.2.0 [14:25] umm sorry that#'s actually what i mean, if it still reports 9.2.0 then do what i suggested [14:27] I got an error saying that no path found is matching the pattern [14:28] when you ran which command? [14:28] no the dpkg command with the path given by the which [14:28] readlink* [14:29] so you probably did not install a debian package when you "installed" 9.2.0 [14:29] Oh good point, I'll try to find what I've done to install in [14:29] ,v gcc [14:29] sorry [14:29] it* [14:30] tomreyn, you said debian and i just assumed we were in #debian :D [14:30] Habbie: my (less sincere) apologies [14:32] tomreyn: Although, when I call gcc-9 I don't have anything anymore, so it seems to be uninstall [14:32] +ed [14:33] Tolhsadum: if you're happy, so am i. [14:34] No no, that's not good xD because gcc -v still gives me 9.2.0 :'( [14:35] Tolhsadum: well, the proper response here is: don't install software by unsupported means. if you do, be prepared to know how to fully uninstall it yourself, or to reinstall. [14:36] supported means are apt, from your ubuntu releases (official) repositories, and, i guess, snap [14:37] tomreyn: I know I know, didn't have much choice though, the support of some of our hardware told us the hardware was online fully compatible with gcc 9.2 [14:37] And 2 of our machines were down because of an Ubuntu update (fully official this one) [14:37] which ubuntu version are you running there aynways? [14:38] I was trying to fix it for several days until another update of Ubuntu 18.04 fixed it [14:39] ubuntu 19.10 supports and defaults to gcc 9.2 [14:39] Yeah but it's not LTS [14:39] right,t here's no LTS release supporting gcc-9 directly, you'd need a PPA [14:40] 20.04, but is still in development :p [14:40] yeah, that was a mess :s. And it was actually useless [14:40] Tolhsadum: missed the beginnings of your issue, but one option may be to use a 19.10 LXD container on 18.04 for the application requiring gcc 9.2 ? [14:40] But now I think it's messing with my cuda [14:41] here's a PPA you could have tried https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test?field.series_filter=bionic [14:43] tomreyn: Is there a way to remove a ppa package with apt? [14:44] the same as installation but with --remove flag IIRC [14:44] Well I cannot find it with apt list, so I might have install it from source [14:44] !ppa-purge | Tolhsadum [14:44] Tolhsadum: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [14:45] oh the package? should just remove with apt as normal. [14:45] ppa-purge to remove the ppa and any packages from it. if you want to keep the ppa enabled with all possible side effects, you can just uninstall the packe [14:45] *package [14:46] but your gcc 9.2 installation doesn't seem to have been a package, as i think you already established. [14:46] Yeah, I would see it with apt list if it was an apt package, right? Even a ppa [14:47] yes [14:47] So I have to find the build folder and make uninstall then! [14:47] and dpkg -S /path/to/gcc would have known about it [14:56] hello all - is there a way in vim to show currect cursor-position (x, y) in vim inside status-line? [15:05] andre144k_ mine shows that by default [15:08] My headphones when connected to Ubuntu via bluetooth does not give proper audio quality. Any ideas why this might be happening? [15:10] BlueShark_: there are some work arounds on askubuntu.com [15:11] BlueShark_: check which audio profile is being used - for good quality stereo it should be A2DP but it has likely selected a headset profile (HFP or HSP) [15:12] TJ-: it's using A2DP., I checked. [15:12] would it be better if I buy a bluetooth-USB adapter? [15:13] BlueShark_: what are you noticing? Could it be caused by interference from other strong 2.4GHz radio signals ? [15:14] BlueShark_: have you tried a speaker test from sound settings? [15:28] andre144k_: which of the variuos vim packages do you have installed? vim-tiny is compiled without support for statusline. [15:31] moment im back in 5min [15:39] seere, ah i founded.. on this system is "vi" an own minimal binary, and not an link to "vim" - and i called allways "vi foobar.sh" [15:39] :] [15:45] Does anyone have a suggestion for a graphics card? [15:46] that's a bit vague. i always stick to radeon but it's depends what you plan to use it for? if you need nvenc or whatever [15:47] also budget? [15:47]
