[00:00] ubottu: most certainly! I am trying to set up a user as a sudoer and run a few gsetting commands [00:00] DSdavidDS: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:00] LOL I just got fooled [00:01] badcoder: I looked :) https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=mips-linux-gnu&mode=filename&suite=eoan&arch=any . [00:01] Bashing-om: that does not include the gcc mips compiler support [00:01] only binary utilities [00:03] DSdavidDS: again, it helps to elaborate more. It will help if you tell us what Ubuntu flavor and version you are working with. Also, what exactly are you trying to set? To find the most appropriate placement of your commands. For example, it might work well enough to setup a cron task with "@reboot" which will run a single command each time the machine starts up. It might be more beneficial to create a service, to allow something [00:03] to continuously run in the back ground. if it is specific to the GUI, it might work best to add things to the Auto Start feature in the desktop environment that you are using. [00:03] badcoder: Here ? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/eoan/+source/gcc-7-cross-ports . [00:05] E: Package 'gcc-7-mips-linux-gnu' has no installation candidate [00:07] badcoder: you could spin up a bionic instance in lxd or similar to install https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gcc-7-mips-linux-gnu or https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gcc-8-mips-linux-gnu [00:08] pragmaticenigma: I am using 19.10, planning on keeping the same feature in 20.04. I have a custom image with preseeding to automate the ubiquity setup. I want this to happen only once after my initial installation (preferrable not cron everytime it boots). I am trying to automatically adjust power settings and change default launch icons so a [00:08] service wouldn't be the right solution either. [00:08] badcoder: ' apt show gcc-10-mips-linux-gnu ' ?? [00:09] gcc 10? https://gcc.gnu.org/ .. tops out at 9.2 [00:09] nothing [00:09] I wasn't honestly expecting that the bleeding edge of ubuntu would just cut out support for mips in gcc [00:09] so I'll go back to using debian [00:13] DSdavidDS: it doesn't appear that there really is anything that Ubuntu natively supports for a "First Boot" feature. The best I'm seeing is setting up the machine for OEM distribution, which I'm guessing isn't what you're looking for either [00:14] DSdavidDS: it might be a path, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/oem-config-firstboot.8.html [00:16] thanks, I'll look into that [00:17] DSdavidDS: another option is that systemd supoprt "ConditionPathExists" in the config. you could set it up to only run if a particular file is found... when your first boot script runs, have it delete that path and the service will no longer run again [00:17] https://serverfault.com/a/853403 [00:17] nice idea [00:19] actually, I just found glib overrides can be done to force certain settings. I think I can change that in the image pre-boot [00:23] I'm on a shared server and need to set the default path for non-interactive ssh logins. (As in, `ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no user@server.com 'command' `) Which dot file should I edit and does it depend on the default shell? (I changed it from csh to bash) === rdv is now known as mrinfinity [00:32] UTAN_dev: the default path would be the home directory of the user you're authenticating to [00:34] The actual command is: [00:34] ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no kpuc@kpuc.pairserver.com 'env COLUMNS=141 drush --debug [command] [00:34] --root=/usr/home/kpuc/public_html/kpuc.pairserver.com --uri=http://default --verbose core-status 2>&1' 2>&1 [00:35] and it returns "env: 'drush': No such file or directory" because the drush executable is in ~/bin, and ~/bin is not the default $PATH. [00:35] (running `ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no kpuc@kpuc.pairserver.com 'echo $PATH'` returns /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin) [00:36] So what I'm trying to do is find the corrcet dot file, on the remote server, which would set the $PATH for non-interactive logins like this ssh command. [00:36] oh so you want to manipulate the PATH environment variable [00:36] correct [00:36] export PATH=$PATH:location [00:37] I could do this in an interactive shell, but this ssh command runs by itself [00:38] Another way to put it is, when you run a command like `ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no kpuc@kpuc.pairserver.com 'echo $PATH' ` , which dot files (if any) would be run on the remote server before `echo $PATH` is run? [00:39] ssh [..] user@server 'source ~/.bashrc; myothercommand' [00:40] I'm not directly running the ssh command. It's part of a utilty (drush); this is just the line that fails. [00:40] So I have no control over the command that it sends to the remote server. [00:41] I can run "drush sql-sync [….]" targeting other servers just fine, because those servers correctly set the default $PATH. [00:42] The only difference is with this server. [00:43] what's special about this server then? [00:44] i guess if you can't change the command you run against the server, you can still edit /etc/environment [00:44] but that'd make it a system wide change [00:45] It's shared hosting. I have no access to anything above the user home directory. [00:47] https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-Startup-Files.html#Bash-Startup-Files [00:47] see also environ(7), env(1) [00:56] on 18.04.3 with Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI system-/logic-/main-/mother-board, onboard sound (Intel) stopped working after a kernel upgrade in the last few months... plz help fix! :) === Hoffmann is now known as Hoffman [01:48] whats the diff between xubuntu running kde DE and Kubuntu? [01:49] Is there anything special about the account that gets created in the installation process? I don't see it listed in sdoers. [01:49] puff: check the groups instead [01:50] aha [01:51] sarnold: Thanks. Is there anything else special about it? [01:52] puff: I think that's it [01:52] I accidentally rsync'd my old laptop (16.04 LTS) backup of /home/puff into /home/puff instead of /home/puff/old. [01:52] So now I'm wondering what I broke, and considering creating another account to be the main account. [01:53] Or I guess I could just reinstall ubuntu. [01:54] gambl0re: xubuntu doesn't run KDE. It runs XFCE. Kubuntu runs KDE. [01:54] leftyfb: I think they're asking what happens if they are on xubuntu and the install the kubuntu-desktop package and then choose that from the login screen. [01:55] leftyfb, what if i install kde DE using xubuntu, am i basically running kubuntu? [01:55] gambl0re: I'm pretty sure that the answer is yes there. [01:55] gambl0re: if you log out and pick kde as your DE on the greeter page, then there won't be much difference. None that you might care about anyway [01:56] gambl0re: there might be some missing kde-specific applications, but you can install them if you need them [01:56] puff: oh man :/ [01:56] puff: I don't think a reinstall would help with much -- if your mistake is confined to /home/puff then nothing else on the system should be overwritten, right? [01:57] sarnold: Yeah. [01:57] It'll be interesting to see how things work :-) === zbenjamin is now known as Guest88498 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:08] Is there a reason why xenial backports is so lacking? https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-backports/allpackages [02:08] Not hating just curious [02:10] wow, that's significantly more packages in backports than I expected [02:11] turnip420: my impression is that the backports pocket was never really well defined; some folks wanted libraries in there, other folks wanted applications, but for pacakges that weren't "leaf" packages, it then raised questions if dependencies from outside backports was going to keep working.. [02:11] turnip420: the handful of folks who were interested in backports just seemed overwhelmed with requests [02:11] turnip420: snap packages are a lot easier to keep updated, and because they are so separated from the rest of the packaging, there's less support burden on them [02:12] turnip420: so my guess is the things where backports might have made sense have instead been replaced by snap packages [02:14] got it [02:15] sarnold: Alternatively, I could create another new account and then just copy configs, etc, over from it into the first account... [02:15] I'm a regular debian user and backports are the best way to get new software [02:16] puff: what's the goal? /etc/skel/ has the "new user" contents, you could compare those handful of things against what you've got in /home/puff right now [02:17] turnip420: I think the fact that ubuntu releases every six months drastically reduces the desire for backports compared to debian's long release cycles [02:17] Got it [02:17] Makes sense [02:17] sarnold: aha, good. [02:18] (which is poart of what drives the snap ecosystem in ubuntu -- folks who otherwise want to stay on LTS releases but have one or two applications fresh can do so via snap) [02:18] sarnold: My goal is mainly to make sure I don't break something by blithely overwriting everything. [02:18] puff: probably just your own data is lost :( [02:18] sarnold: Interesting, re: snap. I've been meaning to look into that. [02:18] Is there an issue if I only want to update my Ubuntu install once every 4 years and want nothing to break? [02:19] Diamondcite: like, go without security updates? [02:19] sarnold: Well this is a brand new install, installed it last night, rsync'ing these files over is literally the first thing I've done with it. [02:19] puff: oh! [02:19] puff: then you're probably fine then :) heh [02:19] sarnold: Sorry, thought that was clear. [02:19] sarnold: Supposedly, asking in case of worst case scenario. [02:19] puff: I was afraid that you might have lost years of work here and were takng it shockingly well, hehe [02:19] sarnold: hah, yeah. [02:20] sarnold: Thanks. [02:20] Diamondcite: that sounds like a bad idea to me but I may be biased :) [02:20] sarnold: What's the deal with snap packages? [02:20] flatpacks [02:20] sarnold: More like I want to know how it'll hold up. Arch Linux would not even boot if I pulled such a stunt. [02:21] they shove all the deps inside the package [02:21] great for cross platform [02:21] sarnold: Also that system might be off physically for no network.. so security updates for that duration doesn't matter as much? [02:21] unideal for saving space, but no one cares about space [02:22] turnip420: So why have a /usr which is only 10GB and needs libraries when you can have the same in 128GB with static linking? [02:24] Diamondcite: heh, I've got a machine with 9.04 installed that I still boot up every now and then. a LOT has changed since then but I'd really expect a machine to keep working fine for *many* years [02:25] I am mainly hopping to only dist upgrade every 4 years.. Hence wondering if the system will work fine and boot [02:25] Assuming the software used is still in circulation [02:26] Diamondcite: yeah, that should work fine; afterall canonical is still supporting 12.04 LTS for a few customers [02:26] I've managed to break the boot process due to typing something similar to apt-get distupgrade... and then rebooting after it's run it's course [02:26] puff: snaps are a way to decouple application update cycles from OS update cycles [02:26] Diamondcite: try apt upgrade instead [02:26] turnip420: Thanks. [02:26] sarnold: Thanks. [02:27] Diamondcite: apt upgrade is less likely to uninstall important packages just to satisfy a dependency resolver :) [02:27] I don't mind if I have to do 8.04 -> 12.04 -> 16.04 -< 20.04 as long as it keeps booting with each step done sequentially all at once :) [02:27] turnip420: I wonder if snaps are like docker, i.e. using a copy-on-write shared file system? [02:27] puff: snaps can also include some sandboxing via apparmor, seccomp, and namespaces, which makes it a bit like apple's app store or google's play store [02:28] sarnold: aha. [02:28] puff: snaps themselves are stored in squashfs filesystems that cannot be mutated at all [02:28] puff: there's some efforts to try to provide ways for snap updates to migrate data in their writable sections [02:28] puff: .. at this point you'll probably want to pop into #snapcraft and talk with folks who know it better than I do :) [02:29] sarnold: Thanks. === JanC_ is now known as JanC [02:37] I don't know much about docker [02:38] a friend once said "it's a tarball with sockets" [02:38] that's about the imits of my knowledge :) [02:40] Diamondcite: static linking is the future [02:40] and you know it [02:41] anyting other than clib just chuck it in the binary of the app [02:41] turnip420: I thought thats what MacOS and IOS does.. their apps are so much bigger... [02:41] Okay lets all get alligned on every single so that's ever been created [02:42] It's not worth it [02:42] flatpacks, snap, it's just the future [02:42] There's no point in dynamic linking anymore [02:43] I thought kernel links what what the Nvidia driver does can't be done statically.. simialr to virtual machine kernel drivers [02:45] Don't know about that [02:45] ofc sometime you will dl some things [02:45] to continue this discussion, please use #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support issues only [02:46] burn [02:49] not so much a burn as desire to try to keep the channel to just support questions; I'm not particularly good at that part :) [02:51] sarnold STAY ON TOPIC [02:51] :P [03:13] Hey, I wanted to install ROS (robot operating system) on ubuntu 19.04, Is there any way I could do so? [03:15] dashing-zombie: 19.04 is EOL [03:15] dashing-zombie: as far as ROS goes, there's plenty of tutorials online. Including on ROS's website [03:16] dashing-zombie: you'll want to stick with 16.04 for ROS though [03:16] I am currently using ROS melodic with ubuntu BIONIC 18.04 [03:17] ok, stick with that [03:17] dashing-zombie: there's no reason to upgrade at this time [03:18] thanks leftyfb [03:27] okay, so I've asked my question maybe 10 times over the last few/couple days... and wasn't acknowledged. If it's that difficult should I just join the main Ubuntu forum to ask... and what is the official forum? [03:28] https://ubuntuforums.org [03:29] DarwinElf, most if not all Ubuntu support options can be found at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709 [03:29] you'll need to give way more information in either of those locations than you gave here [03:50] fractional scaling in wayland looks really ugly. :( [03:54] (Ubuntu 18.04, so I supposed that's GNOME's problem) [03:54] GNOME 3.32 will get better at it, right? [03:55] sarnold, well I don't think there are any more details [03:55] okay, well there are. I can lookup the Intel audio chip model [03:56] until someone was willing to help there's not much reason to [03:56] DarwinElf: what appliucation you're using, if you see things muted in alsamixer, if you see things in pavucontrol, if you've got audio output with different old kernels still on the system, etc [03:56] application n/a [03:56] no old kernels [03:57] obviously I checked alsamixer. Maybe it's not obvious to others, but it is to me, as I've been using POSIX-based OSes since before ALSA even existed [03:57] and this is beating around the bush. The point is the audio chip *doesn't even show up* in the list [03:57] the kernel no longer loads it [03:58] i know I stated some/all this days ago [03:59] i just stopped stating more details because I became disillusioned with IRC [04:05] what I originally said it's Audio device: Intel Corporation 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family HD Audio Controller (rev 31) [04:06] used to work with some kernel in early last October, then I didn't have speakers plugged in until a few days ago. I don't deal with kernels on Ubuntu, but one of several kernel upgrades broke it, with of course the most current stable one still not working for it === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy [04:08] i didn't have pavucontrol in this variant (doesn't matter; it's a kernel issue) but installed it, and of course, it's not listed. Of course, I recommend don't ask people to check these GUI programs... what I did and they need to do is check dmesg and lspci, etc., on the command-line... since that's more sure to show the real situation (GUIs could have other errors obscuring that) [04:11] DarwinElf: just running pavucontrol tends to get 90% of people with audio problems to a point that they can solve the problem themselves [04:12] DarwinElf: please re-read the dozen messages you sent over the last N days -- I think you'll see you never said anything about audio controllers not even showing up in lspci output :) [04:13] DarwinElf: you have to remember, none of us have been troubleshooting your problem, so we don't have the context that you do [06:21] i think I did actually state the audio/sound chip that no longer is loaded in 18.04.3 current stable kernel for me some weeks/months ago, but it was in another *ubuntu channel... sorry if I didn't originally mention it here... just wasn't sure people want as many details in this channel [06:54] where's best (other than here unless you want me to ask again with full details) for questions about drivers not loading in kernel (that used to: ) Ask Ubuntu, Ubuntu Bugs on Launchpad, or Ubuntu Forums (or Kubuntu ones, the variant I use?) [07:00] I am getting nameserver 127.0.0.53 in /etc/resolv.conf instead of the real dns server I should be getting from dhcp. search is correct though [07:01] actually search isn't right I take that back [07:02] systemd always does seem to put in a funny nameserver. That's why I prefer OSes that don't use systemd... just am using one because they're the only that have AMDGPU-PRO drivers and I administer *ubuntu for average users anyway (who aren't annoyed/furious at systemd like system administrators are) [07:03] so in using this I learn how to help the users... but will be switching back when drivers are available (not for the users of course) [07:03] I'd prefer not to use ubuntu either but it is one of the few that gets my vpn right [07:04] as far as I know there may be a way to add more nameservers elsewhere... but systemd is controlling almost everything and they still want it to control more & more... so you can't merely edit /etc/resolv.conf anymore because it says it'll be overwritten... but if you read that section it might mention where else you can add more nameservers... [07:05] systemd is the devil. windows registry for linux. yay [07:05] when I use a strictly Unix[-like] OS (excludes systemd OSes) I add in my ISP's nameserver then over 20 free ones... so if one goes down you have way more options... but now you only get one, and it's your router? Come on... that sounds amateur, really... [07:06] i'm fine enough with systemd for server use... im just pickier about what i put on my desktop [07:07] yeah good luck when your server gets a crash/crack and you have to read binary logs only with programs that work how Redhat wants... [07:08] these days if you care if a server dies you're doing it wrong [07:09] just spin up another [07:09] looks like this is a known thing. ubuntu ignores your dhcp dns [07:09] such a pos [07:10] Hi frens [07:12] you can symlink /etc/resolv.conf to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf as a workaround. it gets the nameserver right but the search path is wrong [07:13] oh maybe not that part is my bad, need to config seearch per interface in pfsense I guess [07:13] Hey frens, is my text visible? [07:14] No. [07:14] I can't see your text at all, nCoV_fren. [07:14] Sorry. [07:14] nCoV_fren: please ddon't use this channel for testing your client- [07:15] Roger that and thank you [07:18] even after fixing pfsense it still gets the search path wrong. why do people use this? [07:19] I've tried it a couple times over the years and it is always major broken [07:20] wait PFSense is broken or Ubuntu is broken? As far as I know, PFSense is a fork of *BSD Unix... I seriously doubt it'd be the one broken in this or almost any case [07:21] quesker: since when does it ignore your local dns? resolved still uses it afaik for lookups. [07:34] no ubuntu is [07:34] it couldn't resolve anything until I made that symlink [07:35] quesker: are you using network manager? [07:35] and search path is still wrong (on ubuntu) [07:35] what is network manager? I just installed ubuntu [07:35] standard desktop version? [07:36] no. server [07:36] right, then you're most likely using networkd instead [07:42] how can I restore the system /etc/resolv.conf? I want to see if it works now the regular ubuntu way [07:45] apt-get install openconnect says unable to locate package openconnect. could have sworn I did this in another vm no problem [07:46] is universe enabled? [07:47] 'sudo add-apt-repository universe' and apt update [07:47] thanks [07:51] Trying to install an app by clicking the link on a webpage in Firefox, but I get the error "Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (appstream) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context." How do I install an appstream app in Ubuntu? [07:51] boontoo: what application is needed to support appstream [07:52] You mean what app am I trying to install? [07:52] no [07:52] I mean what is the format of the package you are trying to install is the first question [07:52] appstream is the mechanics behind it [07:53] I'm not sure. Can I post links in here? [07:53] The link points to: "appstream://org.kde.konqueror.desktop" [08:01] ikonia: I'm not sure how to find out the format of the package. It's a KDE application. I'm lost beyond that... [08:09] something is eating up my ram [08:09] can anyone good at troubleshooting memory leaks help? [08:10] I have 13gb used RAM but I can only see half of it accounted for by processes [08:10] P.S we aren't talking about cache memory [08:17] hi all =) Can i delete Bleachbit; ".DS_Store" (within the "Deep" scan tree?) many thanks [08:17] dionysus69: Used RAM is usually a good thing. What problems do you have? [08:18] dionysus69: `top` can be sorted by memory usage and there's `free`. [08:18] diezzzl: .DS_Store is a macos thing [08:19] diezzzl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store [08:19] i dont use iphone on this desktop all gud to clear ducasse ? [08:20] or any ios bits [08:20] and thanks for the link [08:20] diezzzl: it's not used by linux, so as far as it cares you can just delete it [08:35] 'morning [08:52] vlt: thing is that , top doesn't show process that is using so much RAM [08:52] vlt: I still didn't reboot so I can troubleshoot if there's another way to track down what's using so much unaccounted RAM [08:58] dionysus69: pastebin the output of 'free -h' [08:59] Ben64: https://pastebin.com/wkYb0A56 [09:00] seems pretty normal [09:06] only if there was a process listed anywhere that would use that much ram :p [09:07] about half of that 12gb is lost to some zombie process [09:07] dionysus69: Why do you think that? [09:07] and I have tested it, I can terminate all userspace apps and 6gb of Ram will be still left used [09:08] hi can you help with ubuntu programming problem? [09:09] Good day to all [09:09] First Time in [09:10] joebobjoe: we don't do programming support here, you can use alis to find an appropriate channel [09:17] Need some help, Iam configuring an web server for my network, already installed ubuntu, mysql, phpmy admin, Iam having some issues running the database connection code, its being displayed on the browser, please see example https://www.cimani.ao/error/ubuntu_error.jpg , what do I need to install to resolve this issue ? [09:17] it's not treating it as php [09:17] it's treating it as text [09:18] hey, does anyone know what the .dbus directory in home is good for? askubuntu says it can safely be deleted, but I'd like to know what its good for [09:18] looks to me like you've not got php loaded into the webserver [09:22] I installed php 7.2 [09:22] did you install the apache module [09:22] (or the fpm worker if its ngnix) [09:22] or just php (as in the commandline) [09:23] sudo apt install php-fpm [09:23] is that what you run ? [09:23] Yes I did run that comand to install php 7.2 [09:23] still the browser is treating php as text [09:24] have you configured the web server to load the fastcgi module / config then [09:24] not yet, how do I go about that ? [09:25] are you folling any guide/instructions ? [09:25] or just guessing ? [09:25] heya [09:25] morning dear members [09:25] following instruction https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-php-on-ubuntu-18-04/ [09:26] :) [09:26] its hard to guess linux codes :) [09:26] Ngola: are you using apache or nginx [09:26] apache2 [09:27] sorry [09:27] then why are you following the nginx commands ? [09:27] Is there any alternative to superputty on ubuntu? [09:27] nginx [09:27] iam using nginx [09:27] I am trying to group all the terminal console using a multi-tab manager [09:27] you are %100 using nginx ? [09:27] just to be clear [09:28] Yes ikona [09:28] 100% sure :) [09:28] Ngola: is the php7-fpm service running ? [09:30] I tried to start with systemctl restart php-fpm.service [09:30] not what I asked [09:30] its not running it says service was not found [09:30] so where did you get that command from ? [09:31] https://serverfault.com/questions/189940/how-do-you-restart-php-fpm [09:31] that's not the guide you're following [09:31] why are you not following the guide you said you where following [09:32] why are you jumping to other questions that are not the same as your situation [09:32] FrankyGov: Perhaps your looking for a window manager like i3. I'm personlly using guake (a drop down terminal) and tmux. [09:32] ^__^ [09:32] what does the guide you are following say to do [09:34] the php7-fpm is already runnung [09:43] Ngola: ok - have you configured ngnx to use it [09:44] Ngola: and isn't the service called php7.2-fpm [09:44] not php7-fpm [09:49] Please allow-me few minutes I have removed nginx, Iam installing apache to see if Iam going to run onto the same problem, Iam tired, server configuration is not my sea. [09:49] lol [10:03] why are you swapping to apasche [10:03] apache [10:03] just work the problem on ngnix [10:14] Hi everyone. Small crisis! My Gnome extension "Workspace matrix" has suddently stopped working after rebooting today. I have tried re-installing it, but it did not help. What could I do??? [10:15] apache, phpmyadmin working fine , php also, but the mysqli code is still being displied on the browser as text [10:29] Hi, someone knows what is the best way to stream a video with subtitles to chromecast with ubuntu? [10:42] someone235: vlc, maybe? [10:42] ducasse, they don't support streaming subtitles [10:43] Test [10:45] cybertruck2077: not here, please [10:48] in which logs would one find errors pertaining to samba-client, gvfs, and gio ? [10:50] I am trying to hunt down the reason for this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WCF7JZCvkT/ [11:14] in which logs would one find errors pertaining to samba-client, gvfs, and gio ? I am trying to hunt down the reason for this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WCF7JZCvkT/ [11:17] zetheroo: first place to check would be 'journalctl -b', i guess [11:18] zetheroo: maybe add --user to limit to logs of processes run by this user (but this could also limti too much) [11:18] ducasse: does that print out data from a particular log file? [11:19] the problem occurred last on the 24th of January ... so it would need to be some info that goes back to then [11:21] zetheroo: you can add negative numbers to skip back to previous boots, see the man page [11:22] see also --since= and --until= [11:23] ok, and if there isn't anything telling in there? where would be the next place to look? [11:24] there is none other than this, unless you're on ubuntu 16.04 LTS? [11:24] no, 18.04 [11:24] actually samba may have a separate log [11:24] in /var/log/samba maybe [11:25] there *might* be something in ~/.xsession-errors i guess [11:25] is this the correct manpage? https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journalctl.html [11:25] !man [11:25] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [11:26] ok http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man1/journalctl.1.html [11:26] but JOURNALCTL(1) is correct in general. [11:27] note that ubuntu's man pages might differ from upstream ones (at freedesktop.org), though. === Wryhder is now known as Lucas_Gray [11:41] zetheroo: did you run the ls (which produced the ouput you posted) as root? which user is 123? [11:42] tomreyn: no, this was run by the user of the PC as themselves [11:42] i guess this user shouldn't have access there anyways [11:42] it's a bit of a complicated setup - using PBIS to authenticate to AD for mounting the shares [11:43] we users do have access to that path though ... I just tested on my system [11:45] depends on which user / group owns 123 and which groups the user you're operating as is a member of, i guess [11:45] yeah, it's more the things of this will all be working most of the time, but then sometimes it does that [11:46] GID 123 is bluetooth on this 18.04.3 VM i got here [11:46] I just put in 123 instead of the actual user id [11:46] sorry for the confusion [11:46] oh ok [11:46] also i should have looked for uid, not gid [11:47] and when this happens and you try to access the share in nautilus you get that "Oops! SOmething went wrong. Unhandled error message: Invalid argument" dialog [11:47] which is oh so informative :D [11:49] hi. my ubuntu 18.10 fails to properly initialize my usb ethernet adapter during boot, and I need to unplug and replug to make it work. where and how should I report this? (under what category, is it a kernel bug?, etc) [11:51] imi: 18.10 is end of life now [11:51] zetheroo: hmm yes i see how that's not super helpful. :) [11:51] imi: actually 18.10 has been EOL for a good while now [11:51] !18.10 [11:51] Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) was the 29th release of Ubuntu. Support ended July 18th, 2019. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2019-July/004996.html [11:51] imi: adviced to install a supported ubuntu version from the topic [11:51] imi: no point in reporting it, nothing will be done for an eol release [11:52] in case you want to double-check the version: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL) [11:54] sorry 19.10 [11:54] ok once again to make things clear [11:55] my ubuntu 19.10 fails to properly initialize my usb ethernet adapter during boot, and I need to unplug and replug to make it work. where and how should I report this? (under what category, is it a kernel bug?, etc) [11:56] we'd need more info to tell. can you disconnect it, run journalctl -fk in a terminal, reconnect it, press ctrl-c in the terminal and share what's logged about it when you connected it? [11:57] or maybe omit -k [12:00] ok to do so I'll get disconnected I'll be back in couple of minutes [12:00] imi: good luck [12:00] thx :p [12:02] have I reconnected? or was it just treated as packet loss? [12:02] imi: /whois imi should tell [12:03] logged in at 12:46 CEST [12:03] lol magic [12:03] I never expected that to happen [12:05] imi: have you been able to catch an output? [12:06] yes [12:06] imi: can you pastebin to the channel? [12:06] https://termbin.com/psya [12:07] (I'm still excited about not getting disconnected) [12:09] "2. vezetékes kapcsolat" is in hungarian and means 2nd wired connection [12:09] !info linux-image-generic eoan [12:09] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional.

See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [12:11] I'm nowadays happy with ubuntu update manager doing it's work whenever it feels neccessary [12:12] imi: update system, reboot and report back to us if your device does the same thing [12:12] the log tells that it gets activated fine. sometimes network manager doesn't exactly know which connection profile to activate, you can solve this by deleting all but a single profile for this interface. [12:12] ok this time I'm sure I'll get disconnected ;) [12:12] ...but i agree with lotuspsychje, update first of all, see if you can reproduce. [12:13] tomreyn: yes, when replugged by hand it always gets activated fine. it fails to activate it only during boot (most of the times). and my preferred solution is to unplug-replug [12:14] see if this still happens with the latest kernel version. if it does, we'll need to inspect those logs as well to understand where the problem is. [12:15] ii linux-image-5.3.0-29-generic 5.3.0-29.31 amd64 Signed kernel image generic [12:16] should be 5.3.0.29.33 [12:16] ii linux-image-generic 5.3.0.29.33 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image [12:17] <__raven_> lotuspsychje: i think i figured out, why my 620gt does not run 4 displays with offloading any more - its end of life listed :/ and after trying some time i managed to use all screens with nouveau (deinstalled proprietary nvidia stuff). but it is that useless sluggish like the nvidia card is just passed through and its outputs are driven from internal intel card. any way of finding some peaces of performance [12:17] <__raven_> anywhere? [12:17] __raven_: i was suspecting something like that, as your card only showed driver 390 & 340 right? [12:18] ok rebooting in 3 [12:18] imi: oh right linux-image-generic version 5.3.0.29.33 depends on linux-image-5.3.0-29-generic version 5.3.0-29.31 [12:18] __raven_: an other option could be trying a higher version of 340 or 390, from the ubuntu graphics ppa [12:18]
