[00:26] is 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) [00:41] I 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] arooni: 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 device [00:42] MarkB3: output would help. of the crash. [00:42] MarkB3: can you pastebin the error message ? It'd probably be helpful to see the makefile and program, too, but lets start with the error :) [00:43] MarkB3: but yes., you probably lineked something that its not in your "global" runtime path [00:43] Let me get the good stuff organized. Gentlemen, your time *IS* appreciated. I've been running around in circles for far too long... [00:45] I can't do a cut-and-paste from Eclipse.. can I post screen snaps to a pastebin? [00:48] if you select the text aznd hit ^C will that do it? quite often applications that don't support select often support ^C [00:49] I know there's pastebins that accept images, https://imgur.com/ hosts loads but I don't know how much work it is to upload one [00:49] Okay... got the screen snap. The makefile is easy (only text). [00:49] you can just run the program outside of eclipse [00:49] stefandxm: As dumb as it sounds, I haven't tried that. just for the grins... one moment, I'll give it a shot. [00:50] run it from a terminal [00:50] so you can get the std/out/err [00:50] SONAVB**CH. IT RUNS in a terminal [00:50] Pardon my French... WTF?? [00:51] i guess eclipse sets your running path wrong or the ld_library path [00:51] do you depend on libraries (usually .so) from the same path? [00:51] or data files? [00:51] MarkB3: some of the routines may depend upon a working terminal? [00:51] same/relative path [00:51] I *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. === pjs_ is now known as pjs [00:54] how do you set it? [00:54] maybe you set it hard? [00:54] i dont know eclipse [00:55] but if you set it absolutely and dont include the global ld_ ibrary path you might miss out on the system libraries [00:55] i would assume you need somethinlike GLOBALLIBRARYPATH;your stuff [00:55] I owe you guys a beer. [00:57] There is a setting, deep in the bowels of eclipse and part of the launch configuration. [00:57] It's a radio button. One setting says, "Append environment to native environment". The other setting is "Replace native environment with specified environment". [00:58] It was set to "Replace..." [00:58] Hello [00:58] Is there any program that can summarize a pdf file? [00:58] a document [00:58] I set it to "Append" and it runs.. at least it runs past the point of massive disgusting awful crash. [00:59] stefandxm, I've been trying to get this running for, and I kid you not, MONTHS. [00:59] https://smmry.com/ this site has it, you upload PDF and it can do that. But what are they using? [00:59] It's got to be some automated tool, using some lib or program [00:59] MarkB3: no worries :) [00:59] I can even use a python lib, I can code. Just need to figure out what [01:00] sarnold: It does allocate a terminal for input/output. .. but that was already set. [01:00] MarkB3: its the small stuff :) [01:00] MarkB3: but trying to run from a bare shell is a good exercise everytime [01:00] MarkB3: oof, pty stuff? [01:00] MarkB3: big stuff like eclipse tend to hide a lot stuff [01:01] sarnold: 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] And, yes, this can run from a normal console. [01:02] MarkB3: 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 terminal [01:02] that's cool, embedding a real terminal is way more useful [01:02] sarnold: every process get its environment [01:02] sarnold: doesnt matter how its launched [01:02] sarnold: Honestly, I don't know how Eclipse does 90% of the stuff it does... and of that, it's kind of by osmosis. [01:03] sarnold: but the environment is not dynamically updated so it it could be old [01:03] Eclipse falls into the category of "non-trivial programs". [01:03] sarnold: but if it just spawned the stdio it would still inherit the parameters it had when it launched [01:03] eclipse fall into junk sw ;p [01:03] stefandxm: and eclipse may not have a controlling terminal [01:03] i f**n hate it :D [01:03] sarnold: but it has a parent process which holds the environment [01:04] sarnold: its basic *nix [01:04] Eclipse has it's positive points. For Native Java debugging it's hard to beat. [01:05] Not so good at Python, though. [01:05] intellij is a bit less horrible than eclipse imo [01:05] but i tend to use netbeans instead [01:05] i try not to touch python [01:06] but its all personal :) [01:10] hi 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 advance [01:21] This 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? [01:22] i dont know [01:22] but did it run before? [01:22] if so probably an old process of "yourself" [01:22] ie ps aux|grep [01:22] and kill it [01:22] Y'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] not sure about netstat though [01:23] :) [01:23] About 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. :-) [01:24] :-) [01:24] python does that [01:25] MarkB3: ss -t -n state time-wait [01:25] MarkB3: probably the socket is in TIME_WAIT [01:26] More like it was in OPERATOR_STUPID . Can't believe I did that. [01:26] aha :) [01:26] MarkB3: its a good learning though [01:26] always (re)trace your own steps [01:27] if it worked "before" its often self made [01:27] and also, don't check in anything after $late at night :) [01:27] A long time ago I was asked if I could teach some bit of the calculus in Second Life. [01:27] sarnold: that doesnt work when you have (small) kids ;-) [01:27] stefandxm: lol [01:27] But I didn't have a way to draw a curve in real-time. [01:28] So I wrote this hairy-butt program pair... one piece lives in a virtual environment, the other on the home 'puter... [01:28] .. and it ran find for years. [01:28] ran *fine* for years. [01:28] Then I decided to try upgrading to Scilab 6.0.2 and Not nice. [01:28] All because of that little switch. [01:29] I'd pay extra to disable OPERATOR_STUPID [01:30] [01:31] i just want freebsd :D [01:31] but corporate BS is ruining that for me :) [01:31] I'm pleased to announce success. [01:31] MarkB3: woot! [01:32] cool [01:32] what are you making mark? [01:32] I'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. [01:33] The program is a "shim" between Second Life and Scilab (http://www.scilab.org). [01:33] it lets me draw curves in a virtual environment in real-time. [01:33] It also lets me insult others by remote control. :-) [01:33] hehe ok [01:34] iam an old graphics programmer [01:34] but i would just do it myself for that reason :) [01:34] or use wolfram alpha or matlab or whatever [01:34] those cost money though, don't they? [01:34] not wolfram alpha [01:35] https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cos%28x%29 [01:35] You can purchase a Raspberry Pi and get Mathematica on a Pi for free. Think it's Student Mathematica, though. Still ... nice software. [01:35] but if you wanted programmatic acceess to WA probably they'd charge :) -- and man it's slow :/ [01:35] i once wrote a tool for osx to use mathmetica as a calculator :D [01:36] MarkB3: no kidding? the last student mathematica I had cost a fair chunk of change :) [01:36] With 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] Scilab does the heavy lifting and creates line segment information which is then transmitted back in-world. [01:36] The in-world end manipulates graphics primitives... and a graph pops out. [01:37] sarnold: Mathematica "for real" isn't cheap. But run a google search for Raspberry Pi and Mathematica and see what you get. [01:37] yeah, this looks kinda spendy :) https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/pricing/home-hobby/ [01:38] we had free full mathematica at our uni [01:38] but the uni still promoted matlab which sucked [01:38] mathematica is 10x better. or was [01:38] i mean mathematica is somewhat type safe [01:38] Scilab is a free open-source Matlab look-alike. IMHO, a lot easier to use. [01:38] I 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 it [01:38] forget a ' in M and youll still have an answer. in the wrong dimesion :D [01:38] I did my MS paper using Mathematica. [01:39] and when you comibe some algs in matlab.. its horribly dangerous [01:39] like writing C89 in 2020 [01:39] who would do that :o [01:39] Me. :-) [01:39] stop it [01:39] =) [01:40] All my C coding practices are from K&R The C Programming Language, 1st edition. [01:40] then step it up [01:40] learn c++, rust or c99 [01:40] I'm slowly picking my way through C++ and Java along with some C#. [01:40] i heard good of rust. but iam a c++ junkie myself [01:40] not touching java [01:41] c# is ok [01:41] i mean, if you take out the gimmickery [01:41] Have you ever heard of "Duff's Device" ? [01:41] beer can? [01:42] lol [01:42] whats the name btw [01:42] It's a programming construct in C that had a lot of people irritated. [01:42] of the switch/select hack [01:42] yeah [01:42] its duff device [01:42] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff%27s_device [01:42] i knew it :) [01:43] hand me another beer lol [01:44] I 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!" [01:45] Or something like that. [01:45] hahahahaha [01:45] not that i know off [01:45] its just a matter of alignment [01:46] loops unrolling was a big thing before [01:46] but i mean [01:46] i used to rewrite entire loops with assembler [01:46] its not really a programming hack [01:47] its more of a conformation thing [01:47] to the cpu/platform you are targetting [01:47] I still do assembly language. About the best way to get the most bang for the buck. [01:47] i dont [01:47] [01:48] unless i am coding emulators [01:48] which i am not [01:48] (officially) [01:48] I did some DSP programming a while back and it has a MAC (multiple-accumulate) instruction. [01:48] yeah [01:48] sometimes you have to dig in [01:48] but its rare [01:48] Set up three registers, do a MAC, and it would do IIR and FIR filters at machine-clock rate. [01:49] nowadays i dont do any coding [01:49] i mean, not really [01:49] it happens but not really [01:49] All I do nowadays, for work, is LabVIEW programming. [01:50] whats labview? [01:50] hey 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] It's a dataflow instruments language. http://www.ni.com . [01:50] i googled it briefly [01:50] but how does it differ to matlab/simulink/mathemtica? [01:51] MarkB3 But you will need a shrubbery, first. [01:51] Sounds like off-topic though, for this channel, guys. :) [01:51] psi-Jack: Okay.. I'll bite... "shrubbery" ? [01:51] True. [01:54] stefandxm, sarnold: thank you. It's running. I am greatly relieved. [01:54] And now I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is another day. [01:54] nighty :) [01:55] now go learn some serious language [01:55] ;p [01:56] padarc: maybe check xrandr output to see what the monitor claims it can support? [02:05] sarnold, 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] why cant i replce my login background image by editing gdm3.css? (19.10) [02:06] sarnold, but somehow the login screen thing only "supports" 99hz on my machine. Im confused [02:06] padarc: heh, I didn't realize that you could easily change what happened at the login prompt [02:07] sarnold, i login, change the hertz and logout. thats how i do it [02:07] Am i expressing it incorrectly: url(resource:///root/home/me/image.jpg); [02:07] i can login blind, just hitting enter and typing the password :P [02:08] s3nd1v0g1us: I've got several wild guesses: (a) try file:/// instead of resources:/// (b) what the heck is that /root/ doing in there? [02:08] i tried file as well [02:08] does root need not be there? [02:09] ill try that [02:09] but that is the correct file to edit yes? [02:10] well, if you've stored your file in /root but you're not running as root you'll have trouble getting to the file [02:11] so then just file:///home/me/file.jpg? [02:14] yeah, try that [02:31] hi all, have a 2-1 laptop, are you guys able to share how increase the size of the touch screen keys while in tablet mode.

There are old shell scripts to install modem drivers, but none of those are supported here and I wouldn't go running them [03:00] TheRedRipper: what got deleted exactly and why do you say it got deleted? [03:01] TheRedRipper: also, what version of ubuntu are you running? === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [03:23] ufw only has one app in the app list [03:23] how to update the list === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [03:26] Mystified: those apps are supplied by the installed packages [03:28] Mystified: you can see what's installed in /etc/ufw/applcations.d -- and find the ones that are packaged via apt-file search /etc/ufw/applications.d/ [03:28] I'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. [03:35] robertparkerx: add the user to a DenyUsers list in sshd_config and/or disable the shell for the user (/bin/false) [03:38] leftyfb do I need to restart my server after doing the DenyUsers in sshd_config [03:38] yes [03:38] isn't it shutdown -r now [03:38] I forgot [03:39] sudo systemctl restart ssh -- should do the job [03:41] Yep I think that did it [03:41] I couldn't connect via SCP anymore [03:43] Thanks alot sarnold leftyfb [03:43] can they still connect with vsftp? [03:44] Yes [03:44] nice nice [03:46] I 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] Or can they? [03:47] that's a good idea [03:47] I also recommend disabling password authentication in ssh altogether [03:47] check vsftp too [03:47] Well my root user is by key [03:49] Is that better sarnold [03:49] sarnold: I'm not nuch of a techie, the folder only has cups. [03:49] how do I add others [03:50] sarnold: btw thanks === mcphail3 is now known as mcphail === popey8 is now known as popey [03:53] robertparkerx: so long as those user accounts *can* authentication with passwords, then attackers on the internet can brute-force try passwords [03:53] Mystified: you could write your own files for your services and contribute them back to the packagers if you wished [03:57] i come from a time when the home pc had not arrived in schools system in the 80's.

[03:58] I wish I could do more but have zero understanding of building pkgs or making changes [03:59] in other linux ufw has a list of packages un their folders [04:00] what is your question mystified? [04:03] i wish to add qbittorrent to my applist, in 19.10 the app is not listed as an option. [04:04] as stated the only app listed is cups in the app list [04:06] interesting, there's a handful of bittorrent clients listed in https://git.launchpad.net/ufw/tree/profiles/ufw-bittorent [04:07] Mystified: why not add a port range? [04:08] Mystified: and configure the same range in the app you use? [04:09] from first example sudo ufw allow 6000:6007/tcp and sudo ufw allow 6000:6007/udp [04:09] just add your port range [04:09] and add the same in your bittorent client [04:12] thanks [04:12] tbh thats how you usually add firewall rules [04:12] adding a program is very much a hack and intrusive [04:13] but you might want to add more than 7 ports :) [04:13] maybe a 2-3000 would be ok [04:15] thanks [04:16] This might be OT but could you make ubuntu server a NAS for windows machine(s)?

[04:22] sorry, no idea on that one [04:22] but, you've been asking that at a fair rate, not too often, thanks for the patience :D [04:39] So, hmm. How does one actually change what GDM theme is used in Ubuntu 19.10 (or 18.04 for that matter?) [04:49] It 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. [05:02] Psi-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. :3 [05:02] lol [05:03] yeah.. Probably... Cruft. [05:16] hi [05:16] how does my ISP block sites, I don't prefer to use VPN as it's slow [05:16] littlekimmy: how does this relate to ubuntu? [05:16] I intend to use dns that is unblocked, I use google's 8.8.8.8 but still it's blocked [05:16] littlekimmy: Contact ISP, Ask them. [05:17] no ISPs don't help this is a linux issue [05:17] No, it's not. [05:17] what's the method they use to block ? so that i can unblock ? tell me [05:17] littlekimmy: /join ##networking [05:26] sarnold: I appreciate your assistance ! [05:28] hey i got kicked on ##networking [05:28] so i ask here, how do i unblock using dns request hiding [05:28] Stop. [05:29] I'd like ubuntu to hide those dns requests os it's an ubuntu question [05:29] It's not an Ubuntu question. [05:38] littlekimmy: helping you bypass isp blocking is against channel policy, so you won't get help with it here [05:40] Psi-Jack: https://git.launchpad.net/~laney/yaru/+git/trunk/tree/debian/yaru-theme-gnome-shell.postinst - wrt your actual question though, this is how it's done on the Yaru theme, for example. [05:40] Hmmmmm.... Well that is something. [05:45] When updating my system via the terminal, should I use "apt" or "apt-get?" Is there any real difference between the two? [05:46] Citizen-Se7en: depends on your ubuntu version [05:46] lotuspsychje: I running 18.04 LTS [05:46] Citizen-Se7en: then apt should do the trick for you [05:47] lotuspsychje: Awesome, thank you for your help.

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/ ? [08:21] konrados: you could try the #gamingonlinux community if you like [08:24] lotuspsychje, 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] thanks for the gaming channel name though, I think I'll spend there some time :) [08:26] which version of python does ubuntu 18.04 install? [08:26] If I install python3 [08:26] it 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] !18.04 | raj [08:26] raj: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) is the 28th release of Ubuntu and the current LTS release.

[08:59] morning, quick question i have an issue with rsyslog after executing logrotate log files are not written anymore they stay at 0 bytes until i manually restart rsyslog [08:59] running on 18.04.3 LTS [09:01] my log rotate was 3.11 but i manually build the 3.15 from source packages and that did not help either, should i see if there's a newer package for rsyslog that i should manually build? [09:02] Hello. 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)? [09:03] (And is there a more appropriate channel?) [09:18] vlt: 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 use [10:06] when 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] this is when I enter something like smb://servername/ in the Location or Connect to Server address bar [10:07] but I have no problem doing this for my home NAS [10:16] ducasse: I can see when It did run. I found out how I can see when it will: systemctl list-timers [10:19] CarlFK: 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. [10:20] CarlFK: The strange thing is that the expected audio track is present in the exported mp4 or mov file, but completely silent. [10:21] zetheroo: Is it a tun or tap VPN? [10:22] vlt: tun [10:27] zetheroo: I'm no samba expert but *maybe* some broadcast messages don't make it to your side with a tun connection. [10:38] Hi. Does netplan support fixed+dhcp on a bond? === satanist_ is now known as satanist [10:46] tcpdump for the win [10:47] vlt: I was just informed by one of my colleagues in the office that they have the same problem [10:50] Or is it supported in Ubuntu by any means? [10:54] !netplan | Forza [10:54] Forza: Netplan is a network configuration abstraction renderer which uses YAML descriptions of a network to work with either a NetworkManager or Systemd-networkd "renderer". More information at https://netplan.io/ [10:58] Im using systems-networks. I did try to look up the examples and doc but could not get it to work with both dhcp4 and fixed ip. Either on their own works. Netplan - - debug did not complain [11:00] Perhaps it's networkd that doesn't like the combo [11:00] Forza: are you on ubuntu server? [11:01] Yes [11:01] Forza: come join at #ubuntu-server they might help you a better way over there [11:02] That's a thought. Thanks === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [12:14] On Ubuntu MATE you can hold alt then click and drag anywhere on a window to move it. Can such a feature be enabled on vanilla Ubuntu? [12:19] rory: you could check the hotkeys section in systemsettings, and maybe look at some tweaks in dconf-editor [12:20] guys, is it normal that openvpn will not work with network manager out of the box? seems there is missing permissions for creating tuntap device... [12:21] muhaha: Huh? No. [12:22] And, to create a tuntap device, that requires root. root has all permissions. [12:22] So how can network manager create tuntap device onbehalf then ? [12:22] because NetworkManager runs as root. [12:23] hm, seems there is another problem then :X [12:23] Maybe wrong import of opn config file ? [12:23] sudo openvpn config.conf is working, but network manager can not connect [12:28] Hello [12:28] Does anybody know the syntax to play an audio file via pulseaudio with ffplay? [12:28] The online documentation is wrong [12:31] mel, you should be able to just to ffplay -i song.mp3 [12:31] that won't use pulseaudio [12:31] and will fail is there is any other application playing back at the same time. Even if Spotify is paused [12:32]
