=== recklessop9 is now known as recklessop [00:16] How do I check a 2.5 HDD in a USB external enclosure for errors? [00:17] smartctl, same as an internal [00:17] !smart [00:17] smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [00:18] tomreyn: I tried SMART through gnome-disks, but it is greyed out. [00:18] you *may* need to play with -d [00:18] maybe it's not installed? [00:22] for usb disks which don't work with just -x /dev/XXX, adding "-d sat" or "-d sat,12" often works [00:23] Ascavasaion, the enclosure prevents it [00:25] compdoc: I tend to agre with you. I keep getting an "/dev/sdb: Unknown USB bridge [0x0080:0xa001 (0x204)]" error message [00:28] Ascavasaion: did you try -d sat? [00:29] tomreyn: I just did, and it definitely makes things start working. Just want to see if I cna get the check running. [00:29] Be right back [00:36] <_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 advance [00:37] hello, i'm trying to program a power-off switch to shutdown my board (running ubuntu with gnome/unity UI [00:37] every time i press the shutdown button it says, "hello Rosebus you have open files you might want to save before shutting down" [00:37] even if i dont have open files [00:38] how can i disable this prompt??? [00:39] tomreyn: https://pasteboard.co/IWokBuz.png I presume it is running in the background? It went back to command prompt. I do not see any obvious physical signs that it is running like flickering lights on hard disk enclosure, etc. [00:41] RoseBus: try https://www.itsupportguides.com/knowledge-base/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-to-shutdown-when-power-button-pressed/ [00:44] leftyfb, ty [00:45] leftyfb, still getting that message :( [00:47] leftyfb, oo the instructions for ubuntu 18 were ineffective but the buttons for ubuntu 16 worked [00:48] weird bc it definitely says i'm running ubuntu 18... but this is L4T version so idk [00:49] RoseBus: you mean LTS? [00:49] L4T == linux for tegra [00:49] nvidia's custom ubuntu build for their boards [00:49] RoseBus: ok, future reference, that isn't supported here [00:50] even if i'm asking general ubuntu questions that aren't L4T specific? [00:50] RoseBus: yes, because we cannot know or support everything they changed in the OS. Troubleshooting might not work the same or be as effective [00:55] will python ever refer to python3 in ubuntu?

Running stock 19.10, I'm currently using thunderbird for my mail. [01:30] my question, notmuch is asking Top-level directory of your email archive [/home/johnfg/mail]: that's the default, but that's not what thunderbird uses. I have no mail or maildir in my ~. What would I answer for that question? [01:31] johnfg: are you trying to make notmuch use the same mail storage location as thunderbird? i'm not sure that's a good plan. [01:31] does it even work? [01:32] tomreyn: What I want to get to, eventually, is to use notmuch.vim inside gvim/vim. [01:33] https://opensource.com/article/20/1/vim-email-calendar?utm_campaign=intrel is what I'm following, but kinda sparse. [01:33] this mail from 4.5 years ago suggests you may be able to get thunderbird to use maildir https://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2015/020705.html [01:34] oh, hmm, it might not be great https://karl-voit.at/2020/01/13/thunderbird-notmuch/ [01:35] better use some imap proxy and have each of them use their own mail storage === leion1 is now known as leion === zbenjamin is now known as Guest5264 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:47] hello? [02:48] !ask | gambl0re [02:48] gambl0re: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:04] Hmmm.. I don't like that Gnome/GDM has made it difficult to manage themes. :/ [03:26] Is it actually impossible to install libmysqlclient-dev and npm at once in bionic? [03:26] Because they depend on different versions of libssl? [03:27] JordiGH: could you pastebin what apt spits out as errors please, so the volunteers can have a look for you? [03:28] Never mind, I think I am right and they just can't be co-installed. [03:29] JordiGH: this channel is not a trivia channel, do you need help or not? [03:30] No, it's okay, thanks. === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc [03:34] I did notice npm depends on a libssl that breaks lots of other things, preventing me from install it. [03:35] that's pretty weird. I have npm insalled in my bionic box. [03:35] lots of people do, actually (right?) [03:38] if I install libssl1.0-dev, which npm relies on, it'll remove 13 packages and cause 52 other packages to be "no longer required". [03:38] Oh, and nodejs is kind of old too. [03:38] I need 10, bionic has 8. [03:39] !latest | JordiGH [03:39] JordiGH: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [03:40] Yeah, yeah, whatevs, ppa here we go. [03:40] dependency issue here i also come [03:40] S'all good [03:53] I hear a lot of crackling from fluidsynth/qsynth when theres a lot of sound going on (e.g. 4+ notes being played and a youtube video in the background). Qsynth complains about not being able to change priority, and when ran as root it freezes the computer, requiring me to go into a tty to pkill -9 qsynth.

[06:36] i play a rpg game all days [06:36] and noe strangely iam having lag [06:36] i think something is doing it [07:09] is there any way to get ufw to ignore an entire interface? [07:09] I have a NAT setup with a bridge, and ufw keeps blocking incoming and outgoing traffic [07:10] I already have "Anywhere on vmbr1 ALLOW Anywhere" and "Anywhere ALLOW OUT Anywhere on vmbr1" - but that doesn't seem to make a difference [07:13] alright, changing DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY to "ACCEPT" in /etc/default/ufw did the trick [07:39] hello, i'd like to install cmake3.15 from apt. however, the version apt has is 3.10. Are there any ppa available for cmake 3.15? if so how do I check it out?

Is there any way to bundle packages like gcc perl & make into the ubuntu desktop installation ISO file? [09:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [09:49] I want to install ubuntu on a lot of machines, & also install a certain software which needs some dependent packages to be installed beforehand. instead of downloading the packages into all of the machines individually & consuming a lot of data, I want a method that gives me 'download once, install multiple times' feature. [09:49] Why is python3-distutils a separate package from python3 in ubuntu? [09:50] thanks HurricaneHarry, I'll look into it. hope my reasoning was clear to you. [09:50] frustrating because if I only want to install e.g. python3.7 (and not 3.6) on bionic, there's no way to have a working distutils [09:50] since python3-distutils brings in 3.6 as a dpeendency [09:51] even though distutils is part of the core python library [09:52] icygqaftmzzi: your seccond message makes me think more towards a systems management idea, like ansible/puppet combined with a repository mirror [09:52] hi. I've had a dell precision laptop with windows 10 + bitlocker. I've added another ssd drive and installed ubuntu there, unfortunately now I am not able to have dual boot - I don't see windows partition in the boot options, only ubuntu partitions are visible. [09:52] when I type fdisk -l I don't see my windows partition. is there any way to fix that? [09:52] it seems like effectively python3.6 is a dependency of python3.7 in bionic, even though that package dependency isn't explicit [09:55] akkonrad, UEFI bios? You can probably choose OS with your BIOS boot selection rather than graub [09:55] *grub [10:38] Say I have 2 hd's, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, /dev/sda has Windows 10 installed, why does Ubuntu not put it's boot stuff on /dev/sdb during installation instead of adding it to /dev/sda? [10:38] Is there a way to force it to do that during install? [10:40] like, I don't want it to use the first EFI system partition that it finds [10:43] how do I use py scripts inside a deb package? [10:43] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python-nototools [10:44] yikes, this been an issue since 2014 apparently [10:50] Not an Ubuntu question but what ad/privacy extension should i use with my browser? [10:54] AdBlock on firefox..? [10:58] uBlock origin FTW. [11:09] is openvpn-systemd-resolved package necessary for openvpn? problem is that I am getting dns from openvpn server on tun0 interface, but there are still dns servers from eth0 interfaces, dig for record into that tun0 dns works, but problem is that OS probably try to resolve record from dns servers from local network... any idea? === ianychoi_ is now known as ianychoi [11:38] the state for my headphone jack stays as "plugged in" even after i unplugged them and causes my internal speakers to stay muted, and the issue persists across reboots. is there any command i can run to reset the plugged state of the jack? [11:39] sounds like an alsa bug, maybe report it? [11:40] i saw a few bug reports about it already, and a long discussion with no real outcome [11:40] that's why i was hoping there is at least a command i can use as a temporary fix [11:41] can you select the internal speakers as the default output sink in gnome-control-center's sound panel? [11:41] they show up, but as "unavailable" [11:41] and i get no sound when i choose them [11:41] ouch [11:42] i get two options: "Headphones (plugged in)" and "Speakers (unavailable)" [11:42] cycling the jack with headphones a few times usually fixes it, but it would be nice to have a command that can do the same in case i forgot to bring headphones [11:44] i don't know how alsa/pulseaudio reads this state, but i guess either the hardware is constantly sending this incorrect state, or the state is not updated because i shut down the computer with the headphones plugged in, and unplugged them with the power off, so that the updated state was never sent? [11:45] if it's the latter, i guess manually setting the state in software would be a great solution for me === leion1 is now known as leion [11:55] does anybody here know how to view the source code of the ubuntu 16.04 source image? === remy^ is now known as remy === remy is now known as remy^ [12:01] click any package in https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/allpackages, see the 'download source package' links in the sidebar [12:04] no not that this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release/source/! [12:05] Howdy all [12:22] hi guys [12:22] i did a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04 [12:22] with full disk encryption [12:22] wozy: Congrats! [12:22] but now i want to have the /home in its own particion [12:22] i am folowing this guide: https://stephencox.net/blog/install-ubuntu-full-disk-encryption-home-partition.html [12:23] but i get errors that are not explained in there [12:23] for example, when running "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p3 ubuntu-vg" [12:24] wozy: FDE usually works with LVM. Create a new volume for home, a file system, mount it somewhere, move everything over, add it to /etc/fstab. [12:24] what a cliffhanger [12:24] sorry [12:24] wozy: FDE usually works with LVM. Create a new volume for home, a file system, mount it somewhere, move everything over, add it to /etc/fstab. [12:24] wow i got no clue of what you just said [12:25] dont i need to unmount space? [12:25] wozy: FDE = full disk encryption [12:25] the guide you pasted looks correct to me [12:25] to create a new volume? [12:25] oh ok [12:25] so what errors are you getting? [12:26] Cannot use device /dev/nvme0n1p3 which is in use (already mapped or mounted). [12:26] when running: sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p3 ubuntu-vg [12:26] btw can you tell me what is ubuntu-vg? [12:26] did you boot your newly instaled system, or did you boot the livecd session? [12:26] i booted on the new installed systemm [12:26] 'ubuntu-vg' is the name of the LVM volume group that the installer created [12:27] ok [12:27] ty [12:27] ok, the guide says "Now restart the computer and boot off the Ubuntu install medium." before that sudo cryptsetup command [12:27] the reason is that you cannot _shrink_ mounted ext4 partitions [12:27] oh [12:27] but how do i get the shell? [12:27] and the LVM by default has no free space for a separate /home, so you need to shrink the root partition first [12:27] you get a shell by pressing ctrl+alt+t in a live session [12:27] i got it [12:27] ok ty [12:27] brb gonna reboot [12:28] good luck! [12:28] ty [12:28] (fwiw imho a separate /home is a bad idea, but you do whatever you want!) === leion1 is now known as leion [13:13] mgedmin: "ubuntu-vg" in *this* case is the name of the LUKS mapper device. [13:19] incidentally, does anyone know why the ubuntu installer doesn't give me an option to do FDE if I want to install ubuntu side by side with another OS (windows 10)? [13:20] admittedly it wouldn't be _full disk_, but all I want is an encrypted ubuntu partition [13:21] mgedmin: Some believe that FDE is not recommended when dual booting [13:21] mgedmin: What is recommended is /home directory encryption [13:23] I'd love to hear reasons why FDE is not recommended for dualboot situations [13:23] (I'm currently using ecryptfs, but it has some annoying limitations) [13:26] I don't know the exact reasons why. I believe it was removed from the installer because of limitations of the installer. [13:27] UEFI makes for some interesting situations when kernal updates are applied with FDE [13:34] heya! i have an odd problem. i'm trying to set up an ubuntu 16.04 on a virtual machine. host is fedora, networking is done via bridge. so my problem is that ubuntu cannot get an IP. i have several CentOS7 vms on this host and they work fine, so i kind of puzzled what the issue could be [13:35] i tried to manually run dhclient and still nothing [13:37] unrecovered: If you're planning on using this as a production system, please note that 16.04 will be retiring in 2021... Is there any reason you didn't choose to go with Ubuntu 18.04? [13:37] i have my reasons :) no, it won't be a production, just some platform for experiments [13:38] unrecovered: More details about the VM environment might be required. Like what application is running the VMs... I'm not skilled in the world of VMs, and this might be a question better suited for #ubuntu-server [13:39] hum [13:40] pragmaticenigma i run it on qemu [13:40] hello, i have a problem on a desktop pc, with 19.10, and i suspect that is a kernel problem [13:40] kinda wondering where to ask too [13:41] i some moments the pc freezes, with hdd led activity always on (in the same computer w10 doesnt have the problem) [13:41] though cliend is definetly desktop, not ubuntu server [13:41] nss try iotop to figure who does it? [13:42] unrecovered: when it happens, cant move the mouse and/or keyboard (sorry for my bad english) [13:42] i suspect that is relative to swap [13:44] unrecovered: The purpose of asking in #ubuntu-server is there are more sys-admin type people there that probably have more familiarity with virtualization. The Guest OS doesn't matter [13:45] @nss ctrl+alt+F2(or F3?) should switch you to another workspace in terminal mode [13:45] unrecovered: it doesnt work, all is freezed [13:45] frozed ? [13:45] nss: sounds like your machine ran out of RAM [13:45] usually works anyway [13:45] nss: how much RAM and swap do you have? [13:46] pragmaticenigma ok got it, thanks :) [13:46] mgedmin: 16gb ram, 16gb swap, but that should not be the behavior [13:46] yeah, wow [13:47] i the forums some people recomends to disable swap, others to increase it, or change swapiness [13:48] I tried to run without swap for a while, and I ended up experiencing the symptoms you describe [13:48] Keep swap. [13:48] hdd led on, system unresponsive for multiple minutes at a time [13:48] mgedmin: and when you reenable swap, the symptoms disapear? [13:48] The only arguments for not having it assume you've got brilliant detection mechanisms in place to recover from failures which you don't have. [13:49] well, at least I haven't managed to run enough memory hogs to get any problems yet (16GB of RAM + 2 GB of swap on this laptop here) [13:50] nss: if you have patience to wait (up to 30-40 minutes), try opening a terminal and running e.g. vmstat 10 to see what the system is doing; you may have to enter the keys blindly because the UI is not responsive [13:51] if you don't have patience to wait, rebooting via alt+sysrq+s,u,b is the quickest way to get back to a working state, and safer than holding down the power button [13:51] (I would like to know what kind of workflow manages to fill up 16 GB ram + 16 GB swap. three slack tabs open?) [13:54] Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring [13:57] nss: I think it would also help if you describe what you are doing when this behavior happens [13:59] what line is needed in sudoers file if i want pw prompt for all commands but the one like systemctl for instance? [14:02] mgedmin: 5 or 6 chrome tabs open, docker, slack, a 4gb vm [14:10] hi folks [14:11] What's the best way to completely remove thunderbird on a new 19.10 install? Instead of just a new profile, using maildir, I think it will be better to start over. [14:15] johnfg: no need to remove thunderbird to start over [14:16] johnfg: If you plan on continuing to use Thunderbird... just move .thunderbird to .thunderbird_bak or something similar.. the start up thunderbird... it will start as if it's a brand new instance [14:40] chull and I did the updated kernel for 18.04, in hopes that Ubuntu wouldn't crash by surprise anymore. It's still crashing, almost on boot, as soon as Libre Office starts. This time we didn't start Thunderbird, and LibreOffice gave this error when I started it in command line. (soffice:2085): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 09:32:10.295: ../../../../gobject/gsignal.c:3492: signal name 'selection_changed' [14:40] is invalid for instance '0x564cfb286030' of type 'OOoAtkObjCompTxt' .. then it didn't crash until he tried to recover documents. [14:42] chalcedony: Are these documents coming from a trusted source? Does the machine run fine as long as you don't open Thunderbird or LibreOffice? [14:59] We didn't start the browser ... It was always crashing, since the office was churning? [14:59] prolly better with at least an accoustic guitar or slide whistle [14:59] s/office/libre [15:00] pragmaticenigma, i don't know if it does if he doesn't run them, i watched him restart it and run with and without thunderbird. it crashes [15:00] artyx: please, not here... if you want to share your tunes, please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:00] Ahah. sorry [15:01] it dies fast [15:01] chalcedony: how old is this machine? [15:01] Anyone know why i removed networkmanager and nmcli and i still have networkctl showing as its responsible for bond [15:01] artyx: because you didn't remove networkctl? [15:02] artyx: Because network management is handled by systemd-networkd ... NetworkManager and netplan are just interfaces for configuration, they generate the profile for systemd [15:02] you can remove them, and still have networking [15:02] if you do apt install ifupdown ... doesnt that pull the systemd-networkd? [15:04] pragmaticenigma: So im noticing ... I'm trying to go back to classic interface method of config ... [15:04] pragmaticenigma, it's not old. Ryzen 5 processor [15:05] artyx: There really isn't a way ... if you dislike the newer network management, it would be better to find a distro that doesn't leverage it in the first place... systemd is pretty heavily integrated in Ubuntu and removal makes it hard for us to support it. [15:05] pragmaticenigma: It breaks libvirt being called by 3rd parties [15:05] artyx: https://askubuntu.com/a/1052023 [15:06] pragmaticenigma: there is a way, I just posted it above [15:06] well, not removing systemd, but taking it out of the networking component [15:08] leftyfb: Its not often i have to update my "little black book" but i did today, thank you === leion1 is now known as leion === geirha1 is now known as geirha [15:20] pragmaticenigma, ideas? [15:22] chalcedony: been trying to research... what does "uname -a" return? [15:23] ah moment thanks pragmaticenigma :) [15:26] pragmaticenigma, uname -a Linux vir 5.3.0-40-generic #32~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 3 14:05:59 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [15:27] i wonder if it actually got that kernel update .. it should be more recent than that [15:28] that is the latest HWE kernel (or at least matches my HWE machine) [15:29] pragmaticenigma, yes i just checked that too :) [15:30] wonder if libre office needs to be updated to be compatible? [15:33] chalcedony: most programs are not compiled to a kernel version. so that is unlikely the culprit. What concerns me is that the crashes center around Thunderbird and LibreOffice... which makes me suspect that something was downloaded and could be causing problems [15:33] ahh [15:33] chalcedony: That's why I was asking if the system crahes if those applications are not launched [15:33] guess we can try it [15:34] pragmaticenigma, it's actually ok with Thunderbird right now [15:35] running [15:35] chalcedony: The other option is, you can "delete" the thunderbird profile. First make sure thunderbird is closed, then run "mv ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird_bak" ... then launch thunderbird to see if it triggers a crash. If it doesn't you can just delete the new .thunderbird folder and restore the backed up profile [15:37] chalcedony: You can try the same thing for libre office... making sure that libre office is close the run "mv ~/.config/libreoffice ~/.config/libreoffice_bak" ... and then open libreoffice and see if it crashes. If it does... something in libreoffice's config is corrupted and this will start you off fresh [15:38] thunderbird -p to open the profil menu ? [15:38] chalcedony: Oops... If libre office is stable after moving the directory... then the config is corrupted and you now have a fresh one that should keep libre office functioning. If it does crash... I'm thinking it might be time to go extreme and consider reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch [15:39] Ool: That does work, but there are files stored outside the profile folder that could be corrupted [15:42] pragmaticenigma, wow ok thanks [15:42] let me see what he thinks of this [15:43] chalcedony: There might be others here who have other ideas... but i'm unable to find anymore solutions [15:44] chalcedony: with the directory moving you will at least have the ability to undo things... but if something is corrupted in the config/libreoffice area... that's something that will always be "broken" [15:52] pragmaticenigma: That's a good point, and will accomplish what I want (I hope) - using maildir vs. mbox. [15:52] pragmaticenigma: Do you use a desktop mail client, and if so, which? [15:54] !ot | johnfg [15:54] johnfg: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[16:01] rodrigoty23: please do not PM [16:02] rodrigoty23: ask your question here and someone might be able and willing to help you [16:02] leftyfb, are you firmiliar with source code? [16:02] rodrigoty23: This is a support channel for Ubuntu and it's software. What do you need help with? [16:03] leftyfb, i already asked i need help extracting ubuntu 16.04 sourcode from the source images here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release/source/! [16:04] i got the three of them but dont know how to extract the information! [16:04] four* [16:04] rodrigoty23: apt-get source [16:04] oh [16:04] And apt-build ? [16:04] cd too? [16:04] rodrigoty23: what are you trying to accomplish? [16:05] leftyfb, extracting the information inside those archieves! [16:06] rodrigoty23: for what purpose? [16:06] leftyfb: I thought I was registered. Or did you think my question about mailer wasn't enough about ubuntu? For a number of reasons, I'm just trying to find a good mail client that uses maildir vs. mbox. Primarily for using notmuch[.vim]. [16:06] leftyfb, its outside of the terms of this channel so i cant talk about it! [16:06] johnfg: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic for opinions on software [16:07] rodrigoty23: What specifically are you having an issue with? What files are you trying to read exactly? With what editor? What are you trying to accomplish? [16:08] leftyfb, the cd images i put the command youtold me and got this: E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list1 [16:09] i already downloaded the 4 images on that site i am trying to extract that information! [16:10] rodrigoty23: ok, good luck. I really do not believe you currently have the technically abilities to understand the basics of whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. I feel you have a lot more reading, researching and learning to do before proceeding with your goal. [16:10] rodrigoty23: regardless, I also do not believe whatever it is you are trying to accomplish is supported here. [16:11] leftyfb, so what your saaying extracting those images is like brain surgery? [16:12] rodrigoty23: you have yet to explain what you are trying to do. Extract what from where? What images? What are you trying to extract exactly? (stop saying information) [16:12] oh okay ill break it down [16:12] !enter [16:12] Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. [16:16] leftyfb, i downloaded the cd images from here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release/source/ clicked downloaded the downloaded the fource source images if i mount or extract i would get extracted empty folders i haave the four source images in the downloads folder.iam trying to extract the information of those archieves to read the source codde to modify and extend.so far what you told me didnt help me as i put the command [16:16] apt-get source ubuntu-16.04.6-src-1.iso and would get the result E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list! [16:17] I'm trying to stick to convention with the mysql-server package under 18.04, but I'm not sure if I'm doing this wrong or if the package is different than others. I normally put my configuration overrides in the conf.d/ folder, but the include order in /etc/mysql/my.cnf puts mysql.conf.d/ before conf.d/, causing my configuration files to be overriden by the default config files. Am I meant to modify the files in mysql.conf.d/ directly? I'm concerne [16:17] they'll be overwritten by updates. [16:19] Gah, sorry. I need a correction: but the include order in /etc/mysql/my.cnf puts mysql.conf.d/ *after* conf.d/ [16:19] rodrigoty23: did you mount the ubuntu-16.04.6-src-1.iso image? [16:20] leftyfb, yep [16:20] rodrigoty23: how did you mount the ubuntu-16.04.6-src-1.iso image? [16:20] leftyfb, right click mount in the opo up dialog! [16:20] pop* [16:21] rodrigoty23: ok, so you have access to the files in that image. What's the issue? [16:23] leftyfb, are those the real source images i put ubuntu 16.04 source code and got that link? [16:23] rodrigoty23: it looks like it to me [16:23] in google i put it! [16:23] bradland: the files are also processed in alphanumeric order. Just make sure your file appears as the last file in the last folder being scanned, and the settings will not be overwritten. I usually start my custom configs with "z_" to make them easy to find, and always the last to be integrated. Custom files in those folders are never deleted or overwritten as long as they don't share a name with one provided by another software [16:23] package [16:24] leftyfb, so what do i do then isnt there some special "extractor that does that job? [16:24] rodrigoty23: does what job? [16:25] i dont think mount of extracting the archieve would would do the job? [16:25] or* [16:25] leftyfb, the job = extracting the source code to source code files! [16:25] pragmaticenigma: I had that thought too, but I saw this in the docs: "MySQL makes no guarantee about the order in which option files in the directory are read." [16:26] rodrigoty23: just copy the files wherever you want [16:26] That's the documentation for !includedir. [16:26] I know I shouldn't be surprised because LinkedIn has been kind of a privacy nightmare for a while, but their recent thing of trying to get me to enter my team and sorrounding team's reporting structure is SUPER sketchy. Kinda wondering when someone will get sacked for falling for it and take them to court. [16:27] !ot | feoh [16:27] feoh: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:28] leftyfb, nevermind i open the archive program and look the source code in older a-z [16:28] CRAP wrong channel [16:28] Sincere apologies. [16:31] I would like to move from Mint to Ubuntu (or possibly kubuntu or lubuntu. Since Mint is "based on Ubuntu" is it possible to migrate from one to the other or do I need to do a fresh install [16:32] diamond_orb: you need a fresh install [16:33] leftyfb thanks. Was afraid of that. Which version do I need for a low end machine (old Compaq, pentium, 4GB ram)? I'm not clear on the difference between lubuntu, xubuntu and kubuntu except that they all claim to be "lite" [16:38] Just different choice in desktop environments [16:38] Do you prefer XFCE, KDE or whatever lubuntu custom environment it offers? [16:39] You might also consider Ubuntu MATE. Nice community there and it's very good for machines with meager resources. [16:45] feoh probably xfce as it is the most lightweight of the three. Not really familiar with MATE, but might be worth a look. Thanks. [16:47] I presume that the main ditribution uses Gnome 3? (Picture on the website looks very gnome like but with red background) [16:50] (I'm sure the info must be on the site somewhere... just can't find it) [16:53] BTW, one issue I had with Mint is that many apps in the repo are quite old. I notice that Ubuntu is 18.04LTS. Mint is meant to be based on the same. So are the repository apps likely to be the same? (Not a problem as can install from ppa's if required, just wanting understand the situation) [16:55] I would think so. Assuming that the app(s) you're installing are from the Ubuntu repos. But I have no evidence to confirm that. [16:56] !latest | diamond_orb [16:56] diamond_orb: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [16:58] ubottu yes, understood with regards to stable, just that some apps that I was getting on Mint using apt were two or three versions behind the current. But yes, agree that latest bleeding enge is not necessarily a good idea. [16:58] diamond_orb: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:58] *edge [16:59] ducasse Just realised you sent that last msg via a bot command. Thanks. [17:00] * diamond_orb downloading the current desktop iso [17:01] incidentally, can anyone join in the translation effort? I am bi-lingual so may be able to help and give something back in return for being able to use the OS [17:04] !contribute | diamond_orb [17:04] diamond_orb: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu [17:05] diamond_orb: anyone can help with translations, read up on the wiki and join the team [17:07] ok, thank you for you kind an patient answers to my newbie questions. Will have a look at those links while wating for the download to finish. === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus [17:15] Does Ubuntu not provide a has of its ISO images? [17:15] *hash [17:15] !md5sum [17:15] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [17:16] diamond_orb: the checksums are here: archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/{named_version}/main/installer-i386/current/images/ [17:16] replace {named_version} with appropriate release name (bionic_updates, eaon, focal, etc..) [17:17] um [17:17] actually that link isn't totally correct, but an example [17:18] diamond_orb: short answer = yes, they do supply it. Longer answer = it appears there may be more than one way to get it. [17:18] When I tried to download the desktop ISO, there was a "verify your download" link that gave me the sum [17:21] avid_fan yes, found it, its a sha256 checksum and it does match [17:22] Mactching = Good :-) [17:23] *Matching [17:25] pragmaticenigma thanks. Found them there as well. Am I correct in thinking current = bionic? Plse forgive my lack of familiarity with Ubuntu distro codenames. Couldn't match the md5 so maybe got the wrong one. [17:26] Still the sha256 matches so should be good to go.... [17:27] diamond_orb: what I pulled for a url was for the mini.iso branch (i386) [17:27] bionic is the most recent and supported LTS release of Ubuntu , version 18.04 [17:28] heya [17:29] pragmaticenigma yes, understood. I pulled the md5's for bionic from the equivalent path, but they don't seem to match? This is what I got from md5sum: 764056499131c8fe22b27f6dbf52ab7d [17:29] diamond_orb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases shows Version Name -> Number [17:30] diamond_orb: There are different releases of Ubuntu 18.04... Canonical "packages" up all the updates into a "point" release. so if you get the latest ISO, it should be 18.04.4 which would have a different signature than 18.04.3 [17:31] Dear members [17:32] I do not want to mess up the current configuration...already performed a clean install :P [17:32] I wanted to install libsdl2-2.0-0 [17:33] To avoid issue I wonder what's the best path to make sure that the system 18.04 does the job through apt-get [17:33] !info libsdl2 bionic [17:34] there is no libsdl2-2.0-0 .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl2 [17:34] Package libsdl2 does not exist in bionic [17:34] 2.0.8+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.18.04.4 is current [17:35] Do I have to manually install it from the repository: [17:35] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libsdl2-2.0-0 [17:38] Wow! Ubuntu runs on the Pi? Must give that a try! [17:38] diamond_orb: Depends how you want to use the pi... [17:39] In my situation it was crap. [17:39]
