[00:00] <kxsl> you're welcome
[00:11] <roboto79> new Q: now i can copy the dvd's to my drive. I notice a vob file seems to have a bit of 2 episodes. i can cat the files to merge to one vob, what is best video editor prog to break the episodes apart
[00:12] <lotuspsychje> roboto79: handbreak maybe?
[00:14] <roboto79> it freezes up on me usually, let me try
[00:16] <kxsl> what's the point of splitting them? are you trying to put them on emby/plex?
[00:18] <roboto79> kxsl, example. VTS_01_2.vob has 10 minutes of first episode, rest of that vob is episode 2, or part of it at least. would like to break them into separate episodes since dont always want to see dvd menu
[00:18] <bigua> hi, does anyone know how to set date-timezone to replace from Sáb Fev  1 21:17:32 -03 2020 to Sáb Fev  1 21:17:32 BRST 2020 ?
[00:18] <kxsl> what do you want to use for playback?
[00:19] <tomreyn> bigua: which ubuntu version is this?
[00:19] <bigua> (tomreyn): -03 it's ubuntu 16 and BRST it's ubuntu 14 I guess
[00:20] <roboto79> kxsl, yes, put on my nas for playback from say, tv. 18.04 i believe what am running
[00:20] <tomreyn> !YY.MM | bigua: those don't exist, which ones do you have (lsb_release -ds)?
[00:21] <kxsl> so you need it in a format compatible with some program on a smart tv?
[00:22] <roboto79> kxsl, correct. my tv plays almost anything, and nas is setup to transcode on fly to 720
[00:22] <bigua> [tomreyn]: sorry, How i do see the release?
[00:22] <roboto79> nas can transcode to multiple formats and store on nas as well
[00:23] <tomreyn> bigua: type this in a terminal window:   lsb_release -ds
[00:23] <bigua> Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
[00:23] <roboto79> tomreyn, Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
[00:24] <tomreyn> roboto79: very well, but i was really talking to bigua ;-)
[00:24] <roboto79> yea, walked in and ... well my bad
[00:24] <tomreyn> bigua: and the other one?
[00:25] <bigua> Tom01: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
[00:25] <tomreyn> no harm done, roboto79
[00:25] <bigua> sorry Tom01.. it's to tomreyn: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
[00:25] <tomreyn> !14.04 | bigua
[00:26] <tomreyn> bigua: almost a year without support now (unless you're on ESM where partial support is availabble, but not here).
[00:27] <bigua> !esm
[00:27] <tomreyn> bigua: but we can look into 16.04.6. i'm not sure it has "timedatectl", yet, is this a command you can run there?
[00:27] <bigua> tomreyn, yes it's does but just show at UTC mode...
[00:28] <tomreyn> bigua: try this:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[00:28] <bigua> tomreyn, I did
[00:29] <bigua> hmm.. tomreyn I was just look intro America
[00:29] <bigua> But it's shows etc
[00:29] <kxsl> is anyone familiar to raspberry pi? i just wrote the ubuntu image to sd, but the pi doesn't boot. just lights up a red light. what can I check? what's wrong with it?
[00:29] <roboto79> kxsl did u dd it to card? that is all i do for my pi
[00:30] <tomreyn> bigua: i'm not sure i understand. can you shoudl the output of "date" and "timedatectl"?
[00:30] <tomreyn> * show
[00:30] <tomreyn> !paste | bigua
[00:31] <bigua> tomreyn, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kd85P6bZMB/
[00:32] <kxsl> roboto79, yeah, used dd. i see a couple partitions on it when i look in gparted. didnt get any errors or messages writing it
[00:32] <tomreyn> bigua: hmm this seems to be the first screen drawn by    sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata    but i do not understand what you mean to explain by this or by "I was just look intro America"
[00:34] <bigua> tomreyn, yes ofc. I was just try look intro the date of America but there is others clock/zone times
[00:34] <roboto79> kxsl did u us argument bs=1M on burn line? I had to use this to make things work
[00:35] <tomreyn> bigua: so do you think this is now fixed or is something stil not as it should be (in which case we'll need the output of those commands)?
[00:37] <bigua> tomreyn, it's didn't fix :(.. Maybe I will need do a downgrade of the date package
[00:37] <kxsl> roboto79, no, instructions said bs=32M
[00:38] <bigua> tomreyn, but's thanks you did help me to  understand it better
[00:38] <oerheks> bs=32M ?? unusual large, normal would be bs=4M
[00:39] <kxsl> it's what the instructions say to do https://ubuntu.com/download/iot/installation-media
[00:40] <bigua> tomreyn, as far I do get know.. BST it's a British Summer time. I dont know how to set it with date
[00:40] <roboto79> kxsl, this page is what i used. and it worked. all i can say. https://howtoraspberrypi.com/create-sd-card-raspberry-pi-command-line-linux/
[00:42] <tomreyn> bigua: it is currently winter in britain, though. you can set the time zone the city of london follows by selecting Europe/London on the tzdata  configuration screens
[00:43] <BlackDalek> I accidentally deleted partition table on my laptop... How do I use testdisk to recover them?
[00:43] <kxsl> not trying to use raspbian, and pretty a different bs wont make a difference. it took all day to write.
[00:44] <BlackDalek> Does anyone here know how to use testdisk to recover lost partition table?
[00:45] <tomreyn> BlackDalek: do you have backups?
[00:45] <roboto79> BlackDalek, sorry never had luck with testdisk
[00:46] <kxsl> is there a way to compare the image to what's on disc? the checksum and sig were both good, and i didn't get any errors writing the image. writing the image takes waaaaaay too long to do just redo
[00:46] <BlackDalek> tomreyn, I don't have a backup of the partition table
[00:46] <ducasse> kxsl: writing the image should be done in a minute or two
[00:46] <tomreyn> BlackDalek: of the data on those partitions, though?
[00:46] <BlackDalek> tomreyn, but I do have backup of my data.
[00:48] <tomreyn> BlackDalek: so if you have complete backups of your data you can probably try to fix the partition table on the device directly, without imaging it first (you have one attempt then, if it fails you'll have to reinstall / restore backups)
[00:48] <tomreyn> BlackDalek: you can boot from an ubuntu live disk and run testdeisk from there. don't run it while you've booted off the disk you're trying to fix.
[00:49] <kxsl> that would be nice, but ive never had anything meaningful write to an sd card in a minute or two
[00:51] <ducasse> kxsl: i do it all the time, so do many, many others. maybe the card is bad? check dmesg when writing
[00:54] <tomreyn> kxsl: i didn't follow the full conversation, but if you wrote an image to a storage using dd and still have the source image and want to compare it to what was written: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/214488/#answers
[00:59] <kxsl> thanks i'll check that out

[02:24] <Datz> Hi, I've just installed mariadb-server, and run sudo mysql_secure_installation. Set the root password, and then tried to log in with "mysql -u root -p" but it doesn't take the password I just set. I'm logged in remotely(locally), but I've set "Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n"
[02:24] <Datz> any ideas?
[02:25] <Datz> ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
[02:25] <Datz> humm, should there be those quotes there?
[02:26] <Datz> I've been trying to fix this all day, perhaps there was a bad command I gave. I've purged mariadb-server, but I guess it still may have left the database it created.
[02:31] <Datz> humm, this may have worked: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39281594/error-1698-28000-access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost
[02:31] <Datz> change plugin from UNIX_SOCKET to mysql_native_password
[02:47] <puff> Datz: Figure it out?
[02:48] <tomreyn> Datz: local authentication as root is through a socket by default on current versions (see release notes), no need for a password unless you have software which can't use the socket, in which case you need mysql_native_password
[02:57] <gambl0re> what is i3?

[04:36] <veebox> yes
[04:36] <veebox> i wrote a volume name, and selected ext4

[06:01] <cybertruck2077> hey guys, when I set a script in Crontab, do I have to use ./script_name ? instead of just script_name?
[06:02] <cybertruck2077> Also, does anyone have the room name for non-support related discussion?
[06:02] <ducasse> cybertruck2077: use a full path
[06:02] <ducasse> cybertruck2077: #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:03] <cybertruck2077> ducasse, just the path?  no "./" preceding the script name?
[06:03] <ducasse> just an absolute path
[06:04] <cybertruck2077> ducasse, OK, thank you!
[06:39] <Shark711> Good day guys... Anyone good with IP-Firewalls? I've set up inbound rules which are (for some strange reason) blocking outbound traffic
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> Shark711: you can try in #netfilter if you like
[06:42] <ducasse> or ##networking
[06:42] <Shark711> tx
[06:49] <Blade> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qkhMbWp5hF/
[06:51] <ducasse> Blade: i'm pretty sure we've told you lots of times we're not interested in your system specs, so please stop posting them
[06:52] <Blade> ducasse  you stop chat me lame
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> !ops | Blade returning nonsense
[06:54] <ducasse> Blade: you are free to leave if you don't want to stay on topic and adhere to the guidelines
[06:55] <Blade> i love dax
[06:55] <Shark711> https://pastebin.com/9nG1ygAw <- Inbound rules which also block outbound.. anyone know why?
[06:56] <Blade> one post problem\
[06:56] <Blade> heheheh
[06:59] <Blade> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zddtfhfcsf/  ducasse  old lame i am :) sory
[07:01] <ducasse> yeah, we know who you are. please stop trolling.
[07:03] <ryuo> Shark711: what do you mean? specify the scenario.
[07:03] <Shark711> ping google.com doesn't work
[07:03] <Shark711> apt update doesn't work
[07:04] <Shark711> nc anysite doesn't work
[07:06] <ryuo> Shark711: define doesn't work.
[07:06] <Shark711> think issue is related to missing " -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT"
[07:07] <ryuo> also worth noting that ping doesn't use TCP or UDP. it works with an entirely different protocol.
[07:07] <ryuo> ICMP
[07:09] <Shark711> which is fine keeping in mind that i am blocking inbound ICMP, but outbound is open, yet still blocking it
[07:09] <Shark711> I thinink the llo interface was the issue
[07:09] <Shark711> thanks for yout tiem
[07:24] <SWE442> hi everyone
[07:24] <SWE442> I was wondering if anyone knows how to debug X when it won't let me in?
[07:46] <AurorAWOL> I have been looking online for hours. I have Ubuntu Server and I just use it for home. I want it to be able to suspend after a certain period of time when its idle. I'm pulling my hair out here lol.
[07:50] <ryuo> AurorAWOL: and how would you wake it up again later? it's not quite the same as suspending a regular machine.
[07:50] <AurorAWOL> WOL
[07:50] <ducasse> AurorAWOL: https://askubuntu.com/questions/442795/how-to-shutdown-ubuntu-after-2-hours-of-idle
[07:50] <ryuo> which would be triggered, how? via network traffic?
[07:51] <ryuo> i've never heard of anyone suspending a server in practice.
[07:51] <AurorAWOL> Yeah just magic packet
[07:51] <AurorAWOL> Lol I know
[07:51] <ryuo> i imagine it's not very practical. afaik it won't just wake up from regular attempts to access it.
[07:52] <AurorAWOL> I just don't use it much other than movies and music but I always forget to turn it off
[07:52] <AurorAWOL> No. You have to wake it with WOL
[07:52] <ryuo> as i thought. WOL is just a remote power on so to speak.
[07:52] <AurorAWOL> Yea
[07:53] <ryuo> is power usage your only reason?
[07:53] <ryuo> i generally leave my server running.
[07:53] <ryuo> they use less power at idle as it is
[07:54] <AurorAWOL> The only reason is that one is just a media server
[07:54] <ryuo> sounds like a job a low power server could do better.
[07:55] <ryuo> but w/e works for you.
[07:55] <AurorAWOL> That is true. Though it wasn't always just a media server lol. I upgraded and just left that one be a media center
[07:56] <AurorAWOL> Just sometimes Ill forget about it for weeks and it will just be on for nothing
[07:56] <ducasse> AurorAWOL: i wouldn't do this either, but you can probably adapt what i linked above to do what you ask
[07:56] <ryuo> i use an old proliant microserver G7. 150W power supply, but low power CPU.
[07:56] <AurorAWOL> Thank you ducasse
[07:57] <ryuo> though an arm server might be more ideal.
[07:57] <ducasse> AurorAWOL: if you only use it at certain hours, you could shut it down from cron and set it to wake on rtc
[07:57] <AurorAWOL> And thank you ryuo ... I know this is a strange request. I leave my other servers on all the time as well. So the idea is new and odd to me too lol
[07:58] <ryuo> another option is low power server that you leave on all the time
[07:58] <ryuo> and just uses less net power as a result
[07:58] <AurorAWOL> *facepalm Omg ducasse .. I totally didn't even think about that
[07:58] <ryuo> i have a dreamplug, it's ancient and only works with Debian armel these day
[07:58] <ryuo> but has some rather unusual ports for arm
[07:59] <ryuo> eSATA
[07:59] <ryuo> and such
[07:59] <AurorAWOL> lol
[07:59] <AurorAWOL> Dreamplug?
[07:59] <ryuo> i used it to play audio in certain rooms
[07:59] <ryuo> yea.
[07:59] <ryuo> it was made by GST
[07:59] <ryuo> its uboot is upstreamed
[08:00] <ryuo> so i upgrade the uboot firmware every major upgrade
[08:00] <AurorAWOL> Oh thats actually pretty cool
[08:00] <ryuo> it has an early 802.11n wifi chipset and 2x gigabit ethernet ports
[08:01] <ryuo> 3.5 mm audio ports and optical audio too iirc
[08:01] <ryuo> a few usb ports
[08:01] <AurorAWOL> Yeah I'm looking at the wiki
[08:01] <AurorAWOL> is yours black and yellow too? lol
[08:01] <ducasse> AurorAWOL: or something like this - http://www.mini-box.com/APU-4C4-System?sc=8&category=2019
[08:01] <ryuo> AurorAWOL: yea. i bought one on ebay awhile ago.
[08:02] <ryuo> it requires a special box to access the uart. though maybe you can jerry rig one if you can figure out how it works.
[08:02] <ryuo> i replaced the internal SD card with a larger MLC one
[08:03] <ryuo> it uses like a 15W power supply.
[08:03] <AurorAWOL> I'll actually look into that ducasse. Thank you
[08:03] <ducasse> there's plenty others like it online
[08:03] <AurorAWOL> Nice
[08:04] <ryuo> the cpu is rather slow but quite tolerable.
[08:04] <ryuo> i have to disable the dmix to get reasonable sound output.
[08:04] <ryuo> it's too much for the CPU. it distorts the audio if it's on.
[08:12] <AurorAWOL> Wow. I have been away for almost 4 years. I forgot how to use the Version command lol
[08:15] <AurorAWOL> So is IRC dying?
[08:19] <ducasse> not at all
[08:20] <ducasse> but please focus on support in here. offtopic discussions are welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic, and there is #ubuntu-discuss for ubuntu-related discussions
[08:22] <AurorAWOL> Oh sorry lol. Wrong window.
[08:23] <AurorAWOL> Will do

[10:42] <vlt> tatertots: Every user sees CUPS notifications from every other user.

[10:54] <ducasse> eliyahuTBR: pulseaudio itself has no gui
[10:54] <ducasse> try pavucontrol
[10:57] <vlt> tatertots: Done. The cupds.conf files of a freshly installed Ubuntu and ours are identical.
[10:57] <vlt> *cupsd.conf
[11:02] <vlt> Differences there are only in a bunch of (non existing) ppd files, printers.conf (obviously) and this one: https://dpaste.org/xYeY
[11:02] <vlt> tatertots: ^
[11:02] <ducasse> vlt: have you looked at the web interface for related settings?
[11:05] <vlt> ducasse: There's an "RSS Subscriptions" section looking similar to the subscriptions.conf from the diff.
[11:05] <vlt> I'll try to delete those.
[11:13] <ducasse> vlt: what about 'gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.print-notifications active false'?
[11:13] <vlt> After deleting the subscriptions from the web interface, then logging in as a user and printing it seems there are no popup notifications for now. But there are new notifications listed. I'll have to observer.
[11:14] <vlt> ducasse, tatertots: Thanks for now.
[11:14] <ducasse> yw
[11:14] <vlt> ducasse: I'll check org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.print-notifications as well.

[11:49] <jil> hello
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> welcome jil
[11:49] <jil> How can I deactivate the 'fn' key from my keyboard ?  It used to transform a part of my keyboard as a numerical pad, but I never use that functionnality
[11:50] <jil> I'd rather use it for more memotechnic shortcuts
[11:50] <jil> hello lotus
[11:50] <jil> lotuspsychje
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> !pm | jil
[11:51] <ducasse> jil: most fn keys are mapped by hardware, and is not usable by normal tools
[11:52] <jil> I'm not normal. I use emacs a lot :)
[11:54] <ducasse> jil: so do i, what i mean is that linux tools won't detect it and can't map/unmap it
[11:57] <jil> even with the xmodmap stuff ?  Any way, I may as well check my bios. I think I saw something there.
[11:57] <ducasse> not even xmodmap, it doesn't send regular key events to react on
[12:00] <jil> Ok, thank you very much.  I realise, that is really the info I was looking for.   I have poor knowledge on xmodmap and didn't really wish to go through the manua, again.
[12:02] <ducasse> you can check with xev, see if that registers it. if it does send key events you can use it.
[12:02] <ducasse> but it most likely doesn't
[12:27] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all

[13:41] <Sven_vB> hi :)
[13:42] <Sven_vB> I mounted /dev/sda2 on /boot type vfat (rw,noatime,gid=4,umask=0002), group 4 is "adm", so I expect owner root and group adm, but ls -l /boot shows the owner and group both as "sven". what am I doing wrong?
[13:50] <cow0w> Hi, after editing /etc/crontab.. do I need to restart cron daemon or something like that?
[13:56] <sumagna> ls
[13:56] <sumagna> sorry wrong place to write this
[14:04] <EriC^^> cow0w: no
[14:04] <me> Hi,
[14:06] <Guest76530> I was using home / swap on a different drive then / . Those were encrypted lvm partitions but something out of blue went south and every time I even try to get into rescue mode I get 'WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmdata. Falling back etc. What is most frustrating is that I removed crypttab and any entries regarding those lvm partitions from fstab and yet...
[14:06] <Guest76530> Any idea how fix this?
[14:55] <fuze> is the best way to install nvidia drivers through the ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa repository?
[14:55] <lotuspsychje> fuze: depends on your graphics card chipset and ubuntu version
[14:55] <fuze> nvidia gt 710 kubuntu 19.10 64 bit
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> fuze: first always check: ubuntu-drivers list, to see wich driver(s) are reccomended for your card
[14:56] <fuze> it lists 435, 430, and 390
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> fuze: allright, so i would try the latest 435 on your card, and see for yourself wich driver performs best for you
[14:57] <fuze> so use the repo or no?
[14:58] <lotuspsychje> fuze: its the users choice, to add the repo, but lets say stock driver 435 performs great already, no need to add the ppa?
[14:59] <fuze> i was just having issues with opengl crashing but i tried noveou and now one of my monitors isnt detected and desktop effects dont work
[14:59] <lotuspsychje> fuze: if you want the optimal use of your nvidia card, reccomended to use an nvidia driver
[15:00] <BluesKaj> it is the repo version, the ppa should be removed or commented
[15:02] <fuze> once i installed the repo version 440 is reccomended
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> fuze: you are free to use the driver that suits you best
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> switching and comparing will tell
[15:05] <rhoks> hi I'm on 18.04 and the brightness control stopped working for some reason (I am pushing the system's RAM to the limit)
[15:06] <rhoks> what service do I need to restart to get it to work again?
[15:07] <lotuspsychje> rhoks: brightness control as in Fn keys+F ?
[15:07] <rhoks> both keyboard shortcut and the gui thingy on the top right corner of the desktop manager
[15:08] <rhoks> lotuspsychje
[15:08] <lotuspsychje> rhoks: can you share your dmesg in a pastebin please?
[15:15] <rhoks> I'm sorry how exactly am I supposed to do that lotuspsychje
[15:15] <rhoks> and yeah it took me a few minutes to try and close the extra chrome incognito browser window so I could free up some memory
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> rhoks: open a terminal and type: dmesg, then copy the content and paste in pastebin
[15:15] <rhoks> heh
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> !paste | rhoks
[15:16] <rhoks> well that sounds fairly old schoolish method enough
[15:16] <rhoks> I tried to do cat dmesg
[15:16] <rhoks> but it said it wasn't a file
[15:16] <rhoks> can I make it put the output of dmesg into a text file lotuspsychje
[15:19] <lotuspsychje> rhoks: try this dmesg > /path/to/dmesg.txt
[15:27] <rhoks> lotuspsychje, here you go https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/gnHXsbyT5V/
[15:28] <lotuspsychje> rhoks: you left out the top kernel lines etc, need that aswell
[15:28] <rhoks> I think this is happening when I try to use the keyboard shortcut to decrease brightness [1413528.421569] radeon_dp_aux_transfer_native: 19 callbacks suppressed
[15:31] <rhoks> thats all I'm getting from dmesg lotuspsychje
[15:32] <rhoks> I rechecked to make sure
[15:32] <lotuspsychje> type dmesg in terminal plz
[15:32] <rhoks> id id
[15:32] <rhoks> I did*
[15:32] <lotuspsychje> you will see kernel, and microcode lines
[15:34] <rhoks> I did it with grep so you can see lotuspsychje https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/YXRj7V7t4x/
[15:34] <lotuspsychje> !dmesg | rhoks
[15:35] <rhoks> there are some kernel mentions but they are also available in the pastebin I linked first
[15:36] <rhoks> the first pastebin I linked, lotuspsychje is the entirety of the dmesg output that I got
[15:36] <rhoks> dunno what else I can do
[15:37] <rhoks> anyway
[15:38] <rhoks> thanks for your time, I g2g to dinner now. I'm quite confident an update and a reboot will fix this problem
[15:38] <rhoks> things like this happen every few weeks when the system becomes heavy because of so many chrome tabs
[15:38] <rhoks> and an update plus a  reboot always makes it run smoother
[15:39] <triad> i have an issue which sounds exactly like yours
[15:39] <triad> i am trying to keep the system uptime as much as possible, but after a two weeks it starts to rattle
[15:39] <triad> and wants a restart for some reason
[15:39] <triad> and works very very slow
[15:40] <rhoks> same here
[15:40] <rhoks> a reboot does it wonders
[15:40] <triad> using Unity? maybe thats the reason
[15:44] <alexeyneud> what i've discovered yesterday is that only ubuntu-budgie works fine from usb with usb-persistence
[15:49] <cruzador> Hey guys, is there anyway to see what messages systemd is receiving? For example, I have an app that is sending READY=1 on boot and WATCHDOG=1 every 60 seconds. I want to confirm that systemd is actually receiving those messages
[15:53] <jpmh> I do inotifywait -e modify temp.fil & - and then touch -m temp.fil - on 18.4 I get what I expect, that the file has been modified - on 16.4 I do not - what am I missing here?

[19:59] <BoxBoy> hello, i have a server running cosmic 18.10 and would like to upgrade it. I have followed the instructions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades which seem out of date but i still get the same error: An upgrade from 'cosmic' to 'eoan' is not supported with this tool.
[20:01] <BoxBoy> when i run do-release-upgrade after modifying my sources.list file to "old" repositories
[20:02] <Ben64> you'd have to go 18.10 -> 19.04 -> 19.10
[20:04] <BoxBoy> ok, but how do i do that?
[20:05] <BoxBoy> basically how to i tell it to upgrade to 19.04 since it is end of life

[20:27] <BoxBoy> yeah, might as well just do a reconfig

[20:41] <mra90> when I do ifconfig from command line it tells me my ip is 192.168.X.XXX but when I try to ssh into this ip it fails (timeout)
[20:41] <mra90> why is that?
[20:41] <mra90> This address also doesn't look good
[20:41] <uplime> is the server internal or external to you?
[20:41] <uplime> (also pretty sure you want "ip a" over ifconfig)
[20:42] <mra90> uplime, not sure what you mean by internal but this is my local machione
[20:42] <mra90> machine*
[20:43] <uplime> i mean internal to the network. are you trying to ssh into a machine on the same network as your machine?
[20:44] <mra90> yes exactly
[20:44] <mra90> on the same network
[20:51] <leftyfb> mra90: did you install an ssh server on your machine?
[20:51] <mra90> Yes I connect to this machine from other external locations
[20:51] <mra90> although then machine was in differnt network
[20:52] <mra90> right now I have a situation in which I have two notebooks side by side and I want to ssh into each other
[20:52] <mra90> on the same network of course

[21:04] <GH0S1> did ubuntu 19.10 drop sshfs? I'm running a live disk to run a task and can't find sshfs in the repos
[21:04] <leftyfb> BoxBoy: it looks like you're running a version of ubuntu that is no longer supported. It also looks like you're not running a graphical environment.
[21:04] <BoxBoy> well, i am
[21:04] <BoxBoy> but i run it headless and just vnc in
[21:04] <leftyfb> GH0S1: it's part of the universe repo
[21:04] <GH0S1> leftyfb: thanks. I'm assuming that needs to be enabled?
[21:04] <BoxBoy> this is the problem you see, i have missed the upgrade window now i am going to have to do a fresh install
[21:05] <BoxBoy> which is going to suck, but first things first i need to make a bootable usb drive ....
[21:05] <leftyfb> BoxBoy: you can install something like etcher.io to flash the iso to a usb drive
[21:05] <leftyfb> GH0S1: yes
[21:05] <GH0S1> got it. thanks!
[21:06] <GH0S1> I'll ping back here if I have issues. :)
[21:06] <BoxBoy> ok, old fashioned way it is, that utitlity is just nice to work with
[21:08] <miode747> hi
[21:09] <miode747> I can not boot ubuntu on a pc. just getting to grub console. might be because I removed the second graphic card without changing the settings
[21:09] <miode747> any help please?
[22:38] <gambl0re> anybody use mpd+ncmpcpp? im getting connection refused error. thanks
[22:44] <imi> hi
[22:46] <imi> as far as I know on windows rufus is the primarily suggested way to create a bootable live pendrive on windows, which radically differs from dd. Is there a rufus-like tool for ubuntu as well? What is the primarily suggested method to make bootable pendrive on linux?
[22:48] <oerheks> usb-creator?
[22:48] <imi> do you mean this startup disk creator? https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/ed29b466-bionic-search-apps.png
[22:48] <bprompt> imi:  yeah, there's an usb-creator-gtk, which you can use to burn an .iso
[22:49] <imi> ok seems like we are referring to the same stuff
[22:49] <oerheks> if you typed usb, the same icon pops up
[22:50] <bprompt> imi:  https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/usb-creator-gtk
[22:50] <oerheks> !usb
[22:51] <imi> I'm about to try 20.04
[22:56] <Miles8of9> how much stable is 20.04? how many changes will be done before april?
[22:57] <Miles8of9> i want to install ubuntu on a pc and i don't want to do a format + reinstall on april
[22:57] <bprompt> Miles8of9:  bearing in mind that the date is April, but the final really is around the end of April, not the beginning of the month
[23:01] <leftyfb> Miles8of9: install 18.04, then upgrade to 20.04 in April. I prefer to wait till June when the XX.04.1 is usually released.
[23:02] <Miles8of9> is kernel 5 available in 18.04?
[23:03] <leftyfb> Miles8of9: 5.3.0-28 to be exact
[23:04] <Miles8of9> maybe install 19.10 and then migrate to 20.04 in april?
[23:04] <Miles8of9> is it possible?
[23:05] <leftyfb> possible, yes, recommended, no
[23:05] <leftyfb> Miles8of9: LTS -> LTS upgrades work better
[23:05] <WaV> I updated to kernel 5 at some point via the package manager... not even intentionally. So you should be able to update to kernel 5.
[23:06] <Miles8of9> from what kernel version are Navi 10 chipsets supported?
[23:06] <leftyfb> Miles8of9: maybe ask in ##linux.
[23:07] <leftyfb> Miles8of9: a quick google search tells me 5.3+ will support AMD Navi 10
[23:07] <Ben64> !info linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge bionic
[23:08] <Ben64> yep, 5.3
[23:08] <Miles8of9> ok thankyou
[23:09] <Miles8of9> where this linux-generic-hwe comes from?
[23:09] <Ben64> what do you mean
[23:09] <oerheks> !hwe
[23:09] <leftyfb> Ben64: edge is not necessary
[23:09] <oerheks> backported kernel and tools
[23:10] <Ben64> leftyfb: i know
[23:10] <leftyfb> Miles8of9: install the linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 package and you'll get the 5.3 kernel
[23:10] <Ben64> installing the latest 18.04 iso should already include it
[23:12] <Miles8of9> ok thankyou
[23:27] <paul98> ould someone take a look at - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/b8Gz7W3vbM/ i'm trying to install maven and then run mvn clean install -DskipTests on a dockerimage, it's using ubuntu 19.10 and
[23:27] <paul98>                 versio is listed at line 6 / 7 i have this setup on a laptop and this works fine, but through docker it throughs the error about an illegal reflectinve access operation.
[23:34] <oerheks> paul98, did you install openjfx, oracle java does this by default?
[23:37] <paul98> oerheks: I had just done apt-get install maven after I had run apt-get update and upgrade
[23:48] <CuChulaind> Hello. I have installed openssh-server on a Lubuntu instance. Editing the /etc/ssh/ssh_config to adjust the port, then restarting the service with systemctl does not change the port. What am I missing?
[23:51] <hggdh> CuChulaind: you have to change the server port on sshd_config, not ssh_config (this is the default *user* configuration)
[23:52] <tomreyn> i.e. for the "ssh" (client) command
[23:53] <oerheks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring
[23:53] <CuChulaind> Ah, than you!
[23:53] <paul98> oerheks: are we staying I need to install this?
[23:55] <oerheks> paul98,  i have no clue there, still reading simular reports
[23:57] <paul98> the only thing I can see different between ubuntu dockerimage and my laptop is the fact java is minor version behind e.g 11.0.5 where ubuntu docker image is 11.0.6
