arooniis there a way when i plug in headphones audio can be set to 40% or something?  it hurts my ears when i forget to test volume before switching output from speakers => headphones (18.04)00:26
MarkB3I have a medium-length program, 500-600 lines, that I can compile via make and it links up and runs.  I compile the same program via Eclipse and the program crashes because of an exception thrown by a very low-level routine that isn't part of the program itself... it's supposed to be in a library somewhere.. and must be in a library somewhere because the program links and runs with a fairly simple Makefile.00:41
bpromptarooni:  I assume it may just be a DM volume control applet, I use something called "pavucontrol", is a GTK app IIRC, and you can set both volumes separately for each audio output device00:41
stefandxmMarkB3: output would help. of the crash.00:42
sarnoldMarkB3: can you pastebin the error message ? It'd probably be helpful to see the makefile and program, too, but lets start with the error :)00:42
stefandxmMarkB3: but yes., you probably lineked something that its not in your "global" runtime path00:43
MarkB3Let me get the good stuff organized.  Gentlemen, your time *IS* appreciated.  I've been running around in circles for far too long...00:43
MarkB3I can't do a cut-and-paste from Eclipse.. can I post screen snaps to a pastebin?00:45
sarnoldif you select the text aznd hit ^C will that do it? quite often applications that don't support select often support ^C00:48
sarnoldI know there's pastebins that accept images, https://imgur.com/ hosts loads but I don't know how much work it is to upload one00:49
MarkB3Okay... got the screen snap.  The makefile is easy (only text).00:49
stefandxmyou can just run the program outside of eclipse00:49
MarkB3stefandxm: As dumb as it sounds, I haven't tried that.  just for the grins... one moment, I'll give it a shot.00:49
stefandxmrun it from a terminal00:50
stefandxmso you can get the std/out/err00:50
MarkB3SONAVB**CH.  IT RUNS in a terminal00:50
MarkB3Pardon my French... WTF??00:50
stefandxmi guess eclipse sets your running path wrong or the ld_library path00:51
stefandxmdo you depend on libraries (usually .so) from the same path?00:51
stefandxmor data files?00:51
sarnoldMarkB3: some of the routines may depend upon a working terminal?00:51
stefandxmsame/relative path00:51
MarkB3I *set* LD_LIBRARY_PATH in eclipse.  Let me go check.. This is NUTS.  Absolutely NUTS.. and I know it's ME on the nutty side.00:51
=== pjs_ is now known as pjs
stefandxmhow do you set it?00:54
stefandxmmaybe you set it hard?00:54
stefandxmi dont know eclipse00:54
stefandxmbut if you set it absolutely and dont include the global ld_ ibrary path you might miss out on the system libraries00:55
stefandxmi would assume you need somethinlike GLOBALLIBRARYPATH;your stuff00:55
MarkB3I owe you guys a beer.00:55
MarkB3There is a setting, deep in the bowels of eclipse and part of the launch configuration.00:57
MarkB3It's a radio button.  One setting says, "Append environment to native environment".  The other setting is "Replace native environment with specified environment".00:57
MarkB3It was set to "Replace..."00:58
NyleHello00:58
NyleIs there any program that can summarize a pdf file?00:58
Nylea document00:58
MarkB3I set it to "Append" and it runs.. at least it runs past the point of massive disgusting awful crash.00:58
MarkB3stefandxm, I've been trying to get this running for, and I kid you not, MONTHS.00:59
Nylehttps://smmry.com/ this site has it, you upload PDF and it can do that. But what are they using?00:59
NyleIt's got to be some automated tool, using some lib or program00:59
stefandxmMarkB3: no worries :)00:59
NyleI can even use a python lib, I can code. Just need to figure out what00:59
MarkB3sarnold: It does allocate a terminal for input/output. .. but that was already set.01:00
stefandxmMarkB3: its the small stuff :)01:00
stefandxmMarkB3: but trying to run from a bare shell is a good exercise everytime01:00
sarnoldMarkB3: oof, pty stuff?01:00
stefandxmMarkB3: big stuff like eclipse tend to hide a lot stuff01:00
MarkB3sarnold: Not in my code.  Eclipse "connects" a terminal to it's console window, making it easy for things like scanf() and printf() to work properly.01:01
MarkB3And, yes, this can run from a normal console.01:01
sarnoldMarkB3: ahhhhh, I see. I hadn't realized; my recollection of those kinds of tools is that they just hooked up stdio descriptors and didn't bother with the full terminal01:02
sarnoldthat's cool, embedding a real terminal is way more useful01:02
stefandxmsarnold: every process get its environment01:02
stefandxmsarnold: doesnt matter how its launched01:02
MarkB3sarnold: Honestly, I don't know how Eclipse does 90% of the stuff it does... and of that, it's kind of by osmosis.01:02
stefandxmsarnold: but the environment is not dynamically updated so it it could be old01:03
MarkB3Eclipse falls into the category of "non-trivial programs".01:03
stefandxmsarnold: but if it just spawned the stdio it would still inherit the parameters it had when it launched01:03
stefandxmeclipse fall into junk sw ;p01:03
sarnoldstefandxm: and eclipse may not have a controlling terminal01:03
stefandxmi f**n hate it :D01:03
stefandxmsarnold: but it has a parent process which holds the environment01:03
stefandxmsarnold: its basic *nix01:04
MarkB3Eclipse has it's positive points.  For Native Java debugging it's hard to beat.01:04
MarkB3Not so good at Python, though.01:05
stefandxmintellij is a bit less horrible than eclipse imo01:05
stefandxmbut i tend to use netbeans instead01:05
stefandxmi try not to touch python01:05
stefandxmbut its all personal :)01:06
Mystifiedhi all, have a 2-1 laptop, are youys able to share how increase the size of the touch screen keys while in tablet mode. Thanks in advance01:10
MarkB3This program of mine attempts to bind to port 57344 to answer remote requests.  But bind() is returning -1 with errno set to "Address already in use".  netstat(1) does not show anything listening on port 57344.  Nice.  How do I find out what program has that port open?01:21
stefandxmi dont know01:22
stefandxmbut did it run before?01:22
stefandxmif so probably an old process of "yourself"01:22
stefandxmie ps aux|grep <your process name>01:22
stefandxmand kill it01:22
MarkB3Y'know, my stupidity is really showing this evening.  Remember that I saw this running on a bare console?  Oops.. forgot to terminate that instance...01:22
stefandxmnot sure about netstat though01:22
stefandxm:)01:23
MarkB3About now is when I should turn everything off and go to bed... but, nope.. I'm a glutton for punishment, especially when it's self-inflicted.  :-)01:23
stefandxm:-)01:24
stefandxmpython does that01:24
sarnoldMarkB3: ss -t -n state time-wait01:25
sarnoldMarkB3: probably the socket is in TIME_WAIT01:25
MarkB3More like it was in OPERATOR_STUPID .  Can't believe I did that.01:26
sarnoldaha :)01:26
stefandxmMarkB3: its a good learning though01:26
stefandxmalways (re)trace your own steps01:26
stefandxmif it worked "before" its often self made01:27
sarnoldand also, don't check in anything after $late at night :)01:27
MarkB3A long time ago I was asked if I could teach some bit of the calculus in Second Life.01:27
stefandxmsarnold: that doesnt work when you have (small) kids ;-)01:27
sarnoldstefandxm: lol01:27
MarkB3But I didn't have a way to draw a curve in real-time.01:27
MarkB3So I wrote this hairy-butt program pair... one piece lives in a virtual environment, the other on the home 'puter...01:28
MarkB3.. and it ran find for years.01:28
MarkB3ran *fine* for years.01:28
MarkB3Then I decided to try upgrading to Scilab 6.0.2 and <groan> Not nice.01:28
MarkB3All because of that little switch.01:28
sarnoldI'd pay extra to disable OPERATOR_STUPID01:29
MarkB3<heh>01:30
stefandxmi just want freebsd :D01:31
stefandxmbut corporate BS is ruining that for me :)01:31
MarkB3I'm pleased to announce success.01:31
sarnoldMarkB3: woot!01:31
stefandxmcool01:32
stefandxmwhat are you making mark?01:32
MarkB3I'm logged into Second Life, and just did a y = cos(x) curve.  it's gonna take me DAYS to calm down after these months of lusing my  mind.01:32
MarkB3The program is a "shim" between Second Life and Scilab (http://www.scilab.org).01:33
MarkB3it lets me draw curves in a virtual environment in real-time.01:33
MarkB3It also lets me insult others by remote control.  :-)01:33
stefandxmhehe ok01:33
stefandxmiam an old graphics programmer01:34
stefandxmbut i would just do it myself for that reason :)01:34
stefandxmor use wolfram alpha or matlab or whatever01:34
sarnoldthose cost money though, don't they?01:34
stefandxmnot wolfram alpha01:34
stefandxmhttps://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cos%28x%2901:35
MarkB3You can purchase a Raspberry Pi and get Mathematica on a Pi for free.  Think it's Student Mathematica, though.  Still ... nice software.01:35
sarnoldbut if you wanted programmatic acceess to WA probably they'd charge :) -- and man it's slow :/01:35
stefandxmi once wrote a tool for osx to use mathmetica as a calculator :D01:35
sarnoldMarkB3: no kidding? the last student mathematica I had cost a fair chunk of change :)01:36
MarkB3With my little tinkertoy program, I can type an expression in-world.  The expression is picked up and transmitted to the home 'puter and sent into Scilab.01:36
MarkB3Scilab does the heavy lifting and creates line segment information which is then transmitted back in-world.01:36
MarkB3The in-world end manipulates graphics primitives... and a graph pops out.01:36
MarkB3sarnold: Mathematica "for real" isn't cheap.  But run a google search for Raspberry Pi and Mathematica and see what you get.01:37
sarnoldyeah, this looks kinda spendy :) https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/pricing/home-hobby/01:37
stefandxmwe had free full mathematica at our uni01:38
stefandxmbut the uni still promoted matlab which sucked01:38
stefandxmmathematica is 10x better. or was01:38
stefandxmi mean mathematica is somewhat type safe01:38
MarkB3Scilab is a free open-source Matlab look-alike.  IMHO, a lot easier to use.01:38
sarnoldI never got the hang of using it For Real though -- all the amazing stuff in The Book and on the internet looked so cool, but I couldn't get beyond the basics with it01:38
stefandxmforget a ' in M and youll still have an answer. in the wrong dimesion :D01:38
MarkB3I did my MS paper using Mathematica.01:38
stefandxmand when you comibe some algs in matlab.. its horribly dangerous01:39
stefandxmlike writing C89 in 202001:39
stefandxmwho would do that :o01:39
MarkB3Me.  :-)01:39
stefandxmstop it01:39
stefandxm=)01:39
MarkB3All my C coding practices are from K&R The C Programming Language, 1st edition.01:40
stefandxmthen step it up01:40
stefandxmlearn c++, rust or c9901:40
MarkB3I'm slowly picking my way through C++ and Java along with some C#.01:40
stefandxmi heard good of rust. but iam a c++ junkie myself01:40
stefandxmnot touching java01:40
stefandxmc# is ok01:41
stefandxmi mean, if you take out the gimmickery01:41
MarkB3<heh>  Have you ever heard of "Duff's Device" ?01:41
stefandxmbeer can?01:41
sarnoldlol01:42
stefandxmwhats the name btw01:42
MarkB3It's a programming construct in C that had a lot of people irritated.01:42
stefandxmof the switch/select hack01:42
stefandxmyeah01:42
stefandxmits duff device01:42
stefandxmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff%27s_device01:42
stefandxmi knew it :)01:42
stefandxmhand me another beer lol01:43
MarkB3I read somewhere that C# doesn't permit Duff's Device.. and trying it gets the compiler to spit up a specialized error message: "Not HERE!"01:44
MarkB3Or something like that.01:45
sarnoldhahahahaha01:45
stefandxmnot that i know off01:45
stefandxmits just a matter of alignment01:45
stefandxmloops unrolling was a big thing before01:46
stefandxmbut i mean01:46
stefandxmi used to rewrite entire loops with assembler01:46
stefandxmits not really a programming hack01:46
stefandxmits more of a conformation thing01:47
stefandxmto the cpu/platform you are targetting01:47
MarkB3I still do assembly language.  About the best way to get the most bang for the buck.01:47
stefandxmi dont01:47
MarkB3<heh>01:47
stefandxmunless i am coding emulators01:48
stefandxmwhich i am not01:48
stefandxm(officially)01:48
MarkB3I did some DSP programming a while back and it has a MAC (multiple-accumulate) instruction.01:48
stefandxmyeah01:48
stefandxmsometimes you have to dig in01:48
stefandxmbut its rare01:48
MarkB3Set up three registers, do a MAC, and it would do IIR and FIR filters at machine-clock rate.01:48
stefandxmnowadays i dont do any coding01:49
stefandxmi mean, not really01:49
stefandxmit happens but not really01:49
MarkB3All I do nowadays, for work, is LabVIEW programming.01:49
stefandxmwhats labview?01:50
padarchey guys, beginner here. If i set my monitor anything above 60hz in the settings and logout, my monitor says "input not supported" on the login screen and all i see is a black screen, it works fine once i logged in though with 144hz ... really weird. Any suggestions where to look why this happens?01:50
MarkB3It's a dataflow instruments language.  http://www.ni.com .01:50
stefandxmi googled it briefly01:50
stefandxmbut how does it differ to matlab/simulink/mathemtica?01:50
Psi-JackMarkB3 But you will need a shrubbery, first.01:51
Psi-JackSounds like off-topic though, for this channel, guys. :)01:51
MarkB3psi-Jack: Okay.. I'll bite... "shrubbery" ?01:51
MarkB3True.01:51
MarkB3stefandxm, sarnold: thank you.  It's running.  I am greatly relieved.01:54
MarkB3And now I'm off to bed.  Tomorrow is another day.01:54
stefandxmnighty :)01:54
stefandxmnow go learn some serious language01:55
stefandxm;p01:55
sarnoldpadarc: maybe check xrandr output to see what the monitor claims it can support?01:56
padarcsarnold, 1920x1080 143.88*+ ... but now it gets really weird ... when i set the monitor to 99hz, the login screen shows, anything above it, it does not ... but it can run once i logged in at 144hz without problems ... the monitor menu also tells me it runs at 144hz.02:05
s3nd1v0g1uswhy cant i replce my login background image by editing gdm3.css? (19.10)02:05
padarcsarnold, but somehow the login screen thing only "supports" 99hz on my machine. Im confused02:06
sarnoldpadarc: heh, I didn't realize that you could easily change what happened at the login prompt02:06
padarcsarnold, i login, change the hertz and logout. thats how i do it02:07
s3nd1v0g1usAm i expressing it incorrectly: url(resource:///root/home/me/image.jpg);02:07
padarci can login blind, just hitting enter and typing the password :P02:07
sarnolds3nd1v0g1us: I've got several wild guesses: (a) try file:///  instead of resources:/// (b) what the heck is that /root/ doing in there?02:08
s3nd1v0g1usi tried file as well02:08
s3nd1v0g1usdoes root need not be there?02:08
s3nd1v0g1usill try that02:09
s3nd1v0g1usbut that is the correct file to edit yes?02:09
sarnoldwell, if you've stored your file in /root but you're not running as root you'll have trouble getting to the file02:10
s3nd1v0g1usso then just file:///home/me/file.jpg?02:11
sarnoldyeah, try that02:14

robertparkerxI've got a user I created for vsftpd. I gave it access to a path on a mounted drive only. It seems like it is working but I have noticed today I can use the details to connect via SCP/SFTP too. How can I stop that and ONLY allow ftp.03:28
leftyfbrobertparkerx: add the user to a DenyUsers list in sshd_config and/or disable the shell for the user (/bin/false)03:35
robertparkerxleftyfb do I need to restart my server after doing the DenyUsers in sshd_config03:38
leftyfbyes03:38
robertparkerxisn't it shutdown -r now03:38
robertparkerxI forgot03:38
sarnoldsudo systemctl restart ssh  -- should do the job03:39
robertparkerxYep I think that did it03:41
robertparkerxI couldn't connect via SCP anymore03:41
robertparkerxThanks alot sarnold leftyfb03:43
sarnoldcan they still connect with vsftp?03:43
robertparkerxYes03:44
sarnoldnice nice03:44
robertparkerxI made users for rtorrent irssi znc mysql and redis. Some were installed on their own from packages but some were with no passwords. Should I check those to see if they can connect via ssh ?03:46
robertparkerxOr can they?03:46
sarnoldthat's a good idea03:47
sarnoldI also recommend disabling password authentication in ssh altogether03:47

Mystifiedin other linux ufw has a list of packages un their folders03:59
stefandxmwhat is your question mystified?04:00
Mystifiedi wish to add qbittorrent to my applist, in 19.10 the app is not listed as an option.04:03
Mystifiedas stated the only app listed is cups in the app list04:04
sarnoldinteresting, there's a handful of bittorrent clients listed in https://git.launchpad.net/ufw/tree/profiles/ufw-bittorent04:06
stefandxmMystified: why not add a port range?04:07
stefandxmMystified: and configure the same range in the app you use?04:08
stefandxmfrom first example sudo ufw allow 6000:6007/tcp and sudo ufw allow 6000:6007/udp04:09
stefandxmjust add your port range04:09
stefandxmand add the same in your bittorent client04:09
Mystifiedthanks04:12
stefandxmtbh thats how you usually add firewall rules04:12
stefandxmadding a program is very much a hack and intrusive04:12
stefandxmbut you might want to add more than 7 ports :)04:13

Psi-JackSo, hmm. How does one actually change what GDM theme is used in Ubuntu 19.10 (or 18.04 for that matter?)04:39
Psi-JackIt looks, kind of to be and update-alternatives command, to change it, but, I installed tropic-gdm-theme, and see no gdm3.css file in the package at all.04:49
krytarikPsi-Jack: Given that one was last updated about 14 years ago, I'd be kind of surprised if it'd even work with the current version of GDM though. :305:02

konradosHello. I'm not a gamer, this is the first time I install a game in a long time, hence a pretty silly question. This game isn't managed by a package manager, it's just a zip file with a compiled app. Where am I supposed to unpack it? /usr/games/  or /usr/share/games/ or /usr/local/games/ ?08:07
lotuspsychjekonrados: you could try the #gamingonlinux community if you like08:21
konradoslotuspsychje, but I have this question also in case of everything else, not only games. I have a program, not managed by package manager, should it go to /usr/local/bin or /usr/share? I do already get that it should not go to /usr/bin because this dir is managed by package manager, but what about share vs local?08:24
konradosthanks for the gaming channel name though, I think I'll spend there some time :)08:24
rajwhich version of python does ubuntu 18.04 install?08:26

geirhait depends on the game/app. Some gather all files in a single directory (the windows and mac way), while others like to spread them out into $prefix/lib $prefix/bin etc (the unix and linux way)08:26

vltHello. I'm using olive-editor from ppa:olive-editor/olive-editor on Ubuntu 18.04.  Does anyone have an idea why the same project file with the same video source files on one of my machines renders with a silent audio track (even though the waveform is drawn in the preview clips)?09:02
vlt(And is there a more appropriate channel?)09:03
CarlFKvlt: what audio format are you encoding to, and do you have that installed?  (guessing no.  this is about all I can offer, other than have a look at shotcut (what I use09:18
zetheroowhen I am connected to my work VPN (openvpn) and I want to use Nautilus to browse the work network shares I get this error popup: 'failed to retrieve share list from server: connection timed out'10:06
zetheroothis is when I enter something like smb://servername/ in the Location or Connect to Server address bar10:06
zetheroobut I have no problem doing this for my home NAS10:07
Tuorducasse: I can see when It did run. I found out how I can see when it will: systemctl list-timers10:16
vltCarlFK: Thank you. I tried exporting (from olive) to the default audio codecs (pcm, aac) of several container formats. Judging by its command line output olive seems to use ffmpeg under the hood for the encoding. Using just ffmpeg to transcode single files works perfectly fine.10:19
vltCarlFK: The strange thing is that the expected audio track is present in the exported mp4 or mov file, but completely silent.10:20
vltzetheroo: Is it a tun or tap VPN?10:21

p0athe latest ubuntu is kinda buggy for me,15:22
p0aI was writing stuff on emacs and somehow the control went over to firefox in the URL bar; the text I was writing was underlined, and there was an `e' that I couldn't erase15:23
p0athere was no way to regain control of where I was writing unless I pressed ente15:23
p0aI really can't reproduce this right now but I was wondering if this is something that you are aware of15:23
pragmaticenigmap0a: That sounds more like a user problem... possibly pressed Ctrl or Alt key by accident when reaching for the shift key?15:23
p0apragmaticenigma: not really -- it was buggy.15:24
p0apragmaticenigma: for example, the text in the URL bar was underlined. Also, it was impossible to delete the first `e' letter; opening a new tab would show a weird string15:24
p0apragmaticenigma: and switching to emacs would not allow me to write anything, all my keys were being sent to firefox15:24
p0aI mean, it's possible, but I really doubt15:26
pragmaticenigmap0a: That doesn't sound like a bug... I have never had firefox take over focus on its own. Something in the way you have configured your machine sounds to be the culprit. Look at disabling extensions and plugins... and also try to recreate the issue. If you can't recreate it, it's not something that can be fixed15:26
freakynlp0a: updated stuff whilst the apps were open? And no clue who you mean by 'you', this is mostly a community channel. Official way is the bugtracker, but kinda hard if you can't reproduce15:26

tomreynchalcedony: sorry, i got distracted. so the disk did not run full. there must be some other reason why the logs did not transfer fully. but i suggest you do the kernel upgrade first of all.16:51
chalcedonytomaw, we started it, i assume it downloaded. He went to sleep.16:53
tomreyni see, ok16:53
chalcedonytomaw, what needs to be done next? can i do it with putty?16:53
chalcedonytomreyn.16:53
tomreynif you downloaded and installed the newer kernel and X as doscussed on the wiki, you'd need to reboot.16:54
chalcedonyhe can do that.16:54
chalcedonythank you much :)16:54
tomreynyou're welcome.16:55

ElliriaHey there, how do I reach a package maintainer if they're listed on Launchpad, but no public email is provided?17:48
sarnoldubuntu doesn't really have 'package maintainers'; it's probably best to file a bug report17:49
sarnoldthat way, anyone who has subscribed to bug mails for that package can see it17:49

kenperkinsIs there an easy way to switch between stereo and mono+mic for bluetooth on ubuntu?18:32
kenperkinsI discovered that spotify doesn't respect the window scaling factor, but you can override it with a command line flag. I found 2 spotify.desktop files, both in /snap/spotify, which one should I edit? they are both marked as read-only18:46
sarnoldbecause they are stored in a squashfs you can't modify them directly; you'll get new ones as the snap is updated, too18:47
sarnoldyou *might* be able to use a bindmount on top of the thing to make the file editable, but that's a wild guess18:47
kenperkinssarnold: great tip; so what should I do?18:47
sarnoldkenperkins: I'd file a bug report with the snap authors, they might as well know that people want to scale their app :)18:47
ActionParsnipMax0815: if its your system partition and you aren't using LVM then you will need to boot to Ubuntu live CD and resize there. You can use Gparted there. Be sure to run a full backup incase of catastrophe18:48
sarnoldkenperkins: I'm not sure off-hand how to do the bindmount to replace the file..18:48
pragmaticenigmaActionParsnip: Whom are you talking to... there is no Max0815 in the channel?18:49
kenperkinshmm, I found another one in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications18:49
ActionParsnippragmaticenigma: my bad18:49
ActionParsnippragmaticenigma: long day18:49
pragmaticenigmathat's okay ActionParsnip ... i'm off to a meeting myself18:50
ActionParsnippragmaticenigma: eugh. Enjoy18:50
ActionParsnipkenperkins: if you install using the PPA rather than the snap is it any different?18:52
kenperkinsI can't say, but editing it in var/lib/snapd worked18:53
kenperkinsthe joys of high dpi :D18:54
pragmaticenigmaI don't think the PPA is as up-to-date as the snap18:54
ActionParsnipkenperkins: so? What's in the newer version that you need so badly?18:54
pragmaticenigmafor spotify? they had a recent revamp of features18:55
kenperkinsI don't need a new version; i don't really care which version it is, I just need to edit the .desktop file to add --force-device-scale-factor18:56
ActionParsnippragmaticenigma: between the version in the snap and the PPA?18:56
kenperkinsI just used "ubuntu software" to install it, which gave me the snap version18:56
pragmaticenigmaActionParsnip: The last update to the PPA was July 201918:57
ActionParsnipAhh insee18:57
ActionParsnipI see *18:58
pragmaticenigmadunno18:58
ActionParsnipPPA is 1.1.10 snap is 1.1.2619:01

jaxxstar@ActionParsnip, yeah i installed openvpn19:16
jaxxstarbut how do i configure it without gnome?19:16
sarnoldthe easy way is to install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome  and then launch them from within nm-applet19:17
kenperkinsis there any way to configure systemd-resolve to use specific dns servers on a per network (or wifi ssid) basis?19:24

DeeJayTwohi19:50
logikoshi, I installed xubuntu-dekstop on a ubuntu installation with unity cause I prefer xfce, however some applications seem to have some globalmenu integration thing where the menu appears in the indicator plugin on one of the pannels19:50
logikoshow do i disable that please?19:50
DeeJayTwoIs there any process accounting tool that takes values each minute for all processes and let me graph how a process behave minute per minute?19:50
sarnoldDeeJayTwo: https://pcp.io/ is *really* comprehensive19:53
kenperkinssimilarly, is a tool that shows me power usage on a per minute basis?19:53
DeeJayTwosarnold: Thank you!19:54
logikosI have unity and xubuntu both and i want to disable the global menu in xubuntu, how do i do that please so that it displays in the application instead of in the indicator plugin?20:05
klaasvakieguys, trying to report a bug against systemd (237) on 19.10. launchpad says to use freedesktop.org bugzilla, freedesktop.org bugzilla says to use freedesktop.org gitlab and freedesktop.org gitlab doesn't have a systemd project. Please tell me where to go. I take it upstream won't be interested since 237 is too old20:22
klaasvakieapologies, thats systemd 237 on 18.0420:23
sarnoldubuntu-bug systemd   ought to do the trick20:24
klaasvakiesarnold, thanks.20:29
ufohi all.  i'm having an issue where i get dropped into an initramfs prompt on boot, it's trying to find /dev/sda2 but that device does not exist when i ls /dev/sd*20:55
ufois there any way i can check the partitions to find out what device the root is on?  i'm assuming they got enumerated differently20:56
ufothe person who set this up did not use UUID. :(20:56
geniiBest way is boot a liveusb/livecd, mount the partitions from there and figure out which is the root and so on. Then change the old fstab file to mount y the UUID20:58
ufoah ok.  should i just do "halt"20:59
ufoto get out of initramfs prompt20:59
geniiSince no files are opened on any physical devices at this point, you can just safely use the power switch to power off21:01
rangergordDoes Qt5 have a "meta" package to download all the core components? Or am I supposed to be installing libqt5gui5, libqt5qml5, etc, individually by myself?21:20
oerheksrangergord, i think you want qt5-default21:22
oerheks!info qt5-default21:23
ubottuqt5-default (source: qtbase-opensource-src): Qt 5 development defaults package. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.12.4+dfsg-4ubuntu1.1 (eoan), package size 23 kB, installed size 165 kB21:23
rangergordthanks oerheks . I wasted my time going through the libqt5* list. And it didn't show up in "apt-cache rdepends libqt5gui5"21:25
mspois anyone else getting this? https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core/issues/17321:26
ferrusHas anyone installed Ubuntu on a multipath volume (eg. SAN Boot)?  I've installed RHEL/Centos servers like this, but this is my first time installing Ubuntu onto a diskless blade.  Multipath just doesn't seem to work with the installer.21:32
leftyfbferrus: try #ubuntu-server21:37
ferrusokay, thanks21:38
TJ-ferrus: have you read "Installing with Multipath Support" at https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/device-mapper-multipathing-setup  ?21:42
ferrusYeah, I added 'install disk-detect/multipath/enable=true' to the boot options, but the installer still show the paths as four distinct devices (no /dev/.../mpath).  Don't know if I'm getting the syntax wrong on the boot screen, tried it before and after the ---, and before AND after21:47
TJ-ferrus: hmmmm!21:48
ufogenii: thanks. it changed to /dev/sdi2 v_v22:06
geniiufo: Glad to assist22:21
ufoso since grub autogenerated this config file and it was looking for root=/dev/sda2, what can i change to have it set root=UUID=blah22:40
ufoi'm assuming that's a file in /etc/default/grub22:40
bray90820_Do you think a 2008 Mac Mini would be a good machine to run ubuntu on for 24/7 audio podcasting?22:41
ufogenii: if you're still here :D22:42
tomreynufo: /etc/default/grub IS a file. and you wouldn't usually set root= there, but have grub determine it automatically.22:46
ufoah yeah, i think i meant /etc/grub.d22:46
ufosome kind of custom rule file?22:46
tomreyni'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do, and on which ubuntu version22:47
ufoit's 18.04.4 LTS (Bionic Beaver)22:47
ufogrub is setting root=/dev/sda2 instead of using the UUID22:47
ufoand my drive devices got reordered so i would like to make it use UUID so that doesn't happen again22:48
tomreyncan you post /boot/grub/grub.cfg to a pastebin, or at least the "menuentry 'Ubuntu'"'s "search", "linux" and "initrd" lines?22:49
tomreynufo: ^22:49
tomreyni think having root=/dev/sda2 on the "linux" line is actually entirely normal, you just need to make sure that the "search" line points to the right --fs-uuid22:53
ufoisn't grub.cfg static until the next time it regenerates on a kernel update or something?22:55
ufohttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vxKRhpnBkz/22:55
ufoit regenerated just now and now points to the correct /dev/sdi2...  for now22:55
ufountil it changes again?22:55
x0n-what's the recommended method of installing ubuntu to USB with encrypted persistence?22:56
ufohmm wait a sec...  that one looks right!22:56
oerheksmkusb gives the option for persistence, not encrypted. https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/03/create-persistent-storage-live-usb-with.html22:57
oerheksso, encrypt the files manually?22:57
oerheksor better: select the usb as target and do a lvm/encryption install22:59
x0n-oerheks: thanks, I saw mkusb, also saw it doesn't support encryption by itself. so you say use mkusb, then cryptsetup reencrypt? for trialrun1 I've used the live installer on a manually created luks partition and adapted the necessary files (lvm/encryption install does not work afaict as it wants to nuke the internal disk). took some tinkering but it boots now23:04
x0n-with this solution, it seems accessing everything is just hella slow. I figure it should be faster when loading the root fs from an isofile?23:04
funabash1Hi regarding ubuntu and certifications, what the most well known certification you can take ?23:18
ufoand apparently grub fixed itself and now all the root='s are UUIDs23:18
DarKByD3signHi all, is anyone aware of any working Ubuntu 16.04 images floating about for the Odroid N2? I ask as I'm trying to run Quickbox and that's the only version it supports unless you pay in which case it supports 18.04?23:21
oerheksseems to be 18.04 only ? https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-n2/os_images/ubuntu23:24
oerheks"We have no plan to support Ubuntu 16.04."23:24

_Myst_hi all, does anyone know how to tweak ubuntu the onboard keyboard, to make the keys larger for a 2 in touchscreen laptop, thanks in advance23:30
x0n-oerheks: could you kindly review my reply and let me know how you meant "encrypting manually" when using mkusb?23:31
bencc1_is this linux code? "OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000"23:43
bencc1_I'm not familiar with "=:~"23:44
oerheksx0n-, choose a encryption to lock a folder? mind that it is a install ubuntu, not updated, so not safe.23:47
oerhekschoose option 2, install to that usb with encryption in the installer23:47
oerheksand that is ugly slow.23:48
x0n-oerheks: ugly slow doesn't begin to describe it...23:55
x0n-doesn't mkusb use partitions for persistence? if so, should be possible to encrypt that with luks, no?23:56
oerheksno, not from mkusb23:56
x0n-how does it work then? file-based storage for persistence?23:58
