[00:00] <oerheks> good question, i would think so, yes.
[00:01] <pragmaticenigma> hmm, nextcloud snap isn't coming back up
[00:13] <ChoromPotro> hi
[00:16] <notguest96> What is a good encoder that suppor ASS
[00:16] <notguest96> AAC encoder*
[00:22] <pragmaticenigma> notguest96: For software recommendations, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:23] <notguest96> ok
[01:09] <pennTeller> Hi guys, is there a way to run a program "in isolation" but only on demand? Like selectively prevent access to the real OS for x program.
[01:12] <pragmaticenigma> pennTeller: That's what most people use VMs for, or use operating systems with those features built in
[01:13] <pragmaticenigma> pennTeller: natively, no there is no way to sandbox an application with ubuntu provided as is
[01:13] <oerheks> there is firejail, https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-install-and-use-firejail-on-linux/
[02:23] <cousteau> Hi!  I just plugged a Nintendo Switch controller to my laptop, and it recognizes it and shows it as a joystick with 4 axes (it has 2 analog joysticks) and 18 buttons (it has 18 buttons).  BUT, none of the axes or buttons work.  They're all at zero (or the minimum value).  Why could this be?  Do I need a special driver, or this should be somewhat standard?
[02:24] <cousteau> I'd expect this to either fully work or not be recognized at all, not this weird midpoint
[02:24] <cousteau> (I'm connected via USB because my life is already complicated enough to deal with bluetooth nonsense)
[02:32] <cousteau> OK so it turns out that the USB cable is pretty much useless; it needs to go via bluetooth
[02:32] <cousteau> well it's useful for charging it
[02:33] <pragmaticenigma> cousteau: it's less an issue with Ubuntu recognizing it as it is how Nintendo built the device
[02:34] <cousteau> yeah I noticed...
[02:35] <cousteau> I wonder if the controller is sending commands through USB at all
[02:36] <pragmaticenigma> while this is getting offtopic... but does the controller work in a wired mode with the switch?
[02:38] <cousteau> now all I want to know is if the fact that Bluetooth Devices shows a NES controller as an icon is related with the fact that it's from Nintendo or just because that was the most iconic icon they could think of
[02:39] <cousteau> pragmaticenigma, I don't think I'll ever know.  How can I know it's working in a wired mode, and not just transmitting bluetooth info while connected for charging?
[02:41] <pragmaticenigma> if you paired it bluetooth with Ubuntu, I imagine that's the way it is working, but not something I'm very familiar with. I would need to look up documentation with Nintendo
[02:45] <cousteau_> ...and now the whole system froze
[02:46] <cousteau_> well, I can still see the mouse pointer and change to tty1, but everything below the mouse went black
[02:46] <cousteau_> guess I'll have to reboot.  Bye!

[05:44] <arunkumar413> Hi Folks
[05:44] <DarkByD3sign> Morning
[05:45] <arunkumar413> I just bought a laptop with Ryzen 5 processor and integrated v8 vega graphics
[05:45] <arunkumar413> Does Ubuntu has good drivers for this configuration
[05:45] <arunkumar413> ?
[05:46] <DarkByD3sign> Not sure personally, although I'm fairly certain somebody will be able to advise.
[05:46] <DarkByD3sign> I'm sure it should be fine.
[05:48] <peq> robertparkerx: Yes, 18.04 is a LTS version so it will get security patches longer than non-LTS.  Server version means it doesn't come with any of the desktop packages, so as long as you're not wanting to use it as a desktop you're on the right track
[05:49] <Captain_Proton> are you planning to play heavy games on it ? AMD has drivers for Linux in the passed they were not heavy optimized for xorg. but they worked ok
[05:50] <Captain_Proton> past*
[05:55]  * roczj 
[05:55] <dimspace> robertparkerx: avoid 20.04 for now. I did a server setup a few weeks back, first run with 20 i had all sorts of problems because python 2 has been deprecated and half of what i wanted to use used python 2 still
[05:56] <dimspace> i wasted about a day before i decided 18 was a much better idea :D
[06:01] <Captain_Proton> I have i am really gnome shell right now. Fast non of weirdness of the old version when they switch form unity. I have allows been a KDE guy but I thing this is a new standard.
[06:02] <Captain_Proton> WOW guess I am more tried then I thought
[06:03] <Captain_Proton> me no type :D
[06:07] <celphi> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/ZeQ01J5i/image.png
[06:07] <celphi> Anyone seen this error before?
[06:11] <dps> 20.04 is nice!
[06:12] <dps> I just wish i knew more on how to actually help
[06:12] <dps> Ive found a few things. Do I just use my laucnhpad in some way?
[06:15] <Bashing-om> !20.04 | dps
[06:30] <DarkByD3sign> Any of you guys and girls aware of any decent guides for setting up a torrentbox using an Odroid N2 with Ubuntu 18.04 Minimal?
[06:32] <arunkumar413> Captain_Proton No heavy games
[06:32] <arunkumar413> Just want to have the correct drivers so that the battery isn't drained
[06:45] <Captain_Proton> i would go with the open source one, it was built more for 2d and it does not on all the heavy gpu options
[06:47] <Captain_Proton> turn on*
[08:31] <takov751> greetings all
[08:32] <DarkByD3sign> Morning takov751
[08:32] <takov751> morning :D
[08:33] <takov751> i have done something.. I am here to find some guidance :D
[08:33] <Prof_Gill> the best greeting
[08:35] <DarkByD3sign> What have you done?
[08:36] <takov751> I was on kubuntu 20.04 development branch,but it was unbearable unstable for some reason so to find out that if it was more of a hardware problem i installed ubuntu-desktop meta package,but at this moment for some reason i can change the appearance in tweaks. However there is no appearance menu in the system settings. I think i failed to install a crucial package . It seems that i forget something.
[08:37] <takov751> So this problem manifest everything yaru-dark expect the popout window and gnome panel calendar and menu
[08:38] <takov751> which is a bit inconsistent
[08:38] <takov751> Apart from this everything stable. This development branch feeels more like a beta or release date fresh install.
[08:39] <ducasse> !ubuntu+1 | takov751
[08:41] <takov751> I see thank you for the guidance thats all i needed
[08:42] <takov751> I allways feel guilty when i connect to this irc channel and i start whinging
[08:44] <DarkByD3sign> I don't think it's just channel takov751 I think that's most of IRC :-{
[08:44] <DarkByD3sign> :-P :-P
[08:48] <takov751> You might be right :D DarkByD3sign
[09:50] <arunkumar413> Wanna try Ubuntu on my new laptop but the usb boot isn't enabled. Does disabling the secure boot make the warranty void?
[09:55] <elias_a> arunkumar413: Read the documentation that came with the laptop.
[10:02] <elias_a> arunkumar413: No one can know unless reads the terms of warranty. As the terms are different in different parts of the world and this is a global channel... :)
[10:57] <uebera||> Hi. Is there a Debian/Ubuntu guideline or best practice where to put an *architecture-independent* script (originally called from a systemd service)? I see that, e.g., clevis-luks-askpass (which is built as an architecture-dependent package although it isn't AFAIK) puts its script into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/clevis-luks-askpass, but this looks wrong to me for a "clevis-zfs-askpass_all.deb" 'variant' (the package is named differently, but you
[10:57] <uebera||> get the picture). Any advice?
[10:58] <uebera||> Is a script considered a 'data file' (which would put it somewhere below /usr/share/pkg/scripts/)?
[11:21] <runokiab> Hello, I used pvmove to move by current root and swap partition to a new physical drive (SSD). Booting was done via MBR on the old disk. It works fine now, but I suspect it won't boot if I reboot or can I use the MBR on the old disk to boot on the new disk?
[11:23] <lotuspsychje> runokiab: is it possible to pastebin your current layout, volunteers might have a better idea of it and be able to advice
[11:36] <runokiab> Here is the pastebin with more information: https://pastebin.com/UpS81bay Please tell me if I missed some relevant information
[11:52] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:52] <runokiab> Hi BluesKaj
[11:54] <BluesKaj> hi runokiab
[12:13] <NeoFrontier> Hello after upgrading to 18.04, my webserver and sql broke. So I purged it all and did a fresh install of apache2 and mysql and php. However, for some reaon php refuses to work.
[12:14] <NeoFrontier> The webserver is running. And MySQl is working.
[12:15] <NeoFrontier> For some reason, even though libapache2-mod-php php php-mysql is all installed. There is no php module config files found in /etc/apache2/mods-available
[12:17] <NeoFrontier> This persists even when I execute: sudo apt-get purge php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
[12:18] <NeoFrontier> and then sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
[12:19] <NeoFrontier> The config files remains missing from /etc/apache2/mods-available and a2enmod php clearly will then not work.
[12:19] <NeoFrontier> I have even tried: sudo apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
[12:20] <NeoFrontier> And all goes well without errors, yet php does not work.
[12:20] <NeoFrontier> HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE ??
[12:26] <Schnabeltierchen> Is there a subchannel about networking with ubuntu?
[12:27] <lotuspsychje> Schnabeltierchen: no, issues about ubuntu related, fit here
[12:28] <lotuspsychje> Schnabeltierchen: unless its completly networking related, suits more into ##networking then
[12:31] <Schnabeltierchen> lotuspsychje:  okay long story short, i got myself a ubuntu-vps. i want to connect it with vpnc to my home network, but i know vpnc likes to mess up the default-gateway and stuff, so i´m afraid to lock me out of me vps and seeking advice....

[13:21] <NeoFrontier> For those interested. I had to manually create php.load and php.conf with the correct info in them to get php to work.
[13:21] <NeoFrontier> jeez.
[13:21] <NeoFrontier> :|
[13:23] <NeoFrontier> ( the missing files in /etc/apache2/mods-available )

[13:42] <a90c> if my webroot is /var/www/html/web1/public_html, which directory should nginx user read to not get 403 error?
[13:43] <a90c> if all of them is root:root, nginx user can still read it?
[13:51] <Bluewolf> Good day. I've just done a new install of ubuntu 18.04 and after logging in with a brief glimpse of the desktop, I get taken back to the log in screen. I'm am taking a guess its graphic related, but I'm not sure how to fix it?
[13:52] <Bluewolf> Reason why I'm taking a guess at it being graphics, is because I've just done a dual boot and before that I did a single boot and it had the same issue.
[14:02] <pragmaticenigma> a90c: The directory and files within should be owned by the same user and group that nginx is running as. Nginx does not run as root.
[14:02] <pragmaticenigma> a90c: For further assistance, please visit #ubuntu-server
[14:03] <niee> hi folks, anyone to help me please? i try to login from my local network ssh login allowed and i connected. i try from inside my router, and not connected. any ideas? i use ubuntu 18.04
[14:04] <pragmaticenigma> niee: What do you mean by you try from within your router?
[14:09] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | Bluewolf you could try this
[14:11] <Bluewolf> lotuspsychje: I mean is there any other way to by pass the log in screen?
[14:11] <Bluewolf> Get into the system and install the drivers
[14:11] <Bluewolf> Sorry, reading the link now
[14:12] <pragmaticenigma> Bluewolf: that's how you do it, been the process for a very long time. nomodeset forces delay of loading drivers so you have a chance to get into the system to troubleshoot and install the correct drivers.
[14:14] <Bluewolf> pragmaticenigma: Just caught up xD. I solved the failure problem, I completely formatted the drives.
[14:17] <niee> pragmaticenigma, i connect to my router and i have a my server. i turn off my wifi and i dont connect
[14:17] <niee> only local i have connect
[14:17] <niee> outside my router i have problem
[14:18] <pragmaticenigma> niee: I'm sorry, but I don't understand anything you just said.
[14:18] <niee> pragmaticenigma, ok. no problem
[14:20] <pragmaticenigma> niee: You need to be more detailed, explain your process. Your explanation is missing a lot of the steps you are taking in trying to make these connections. How the computers are connected to one another, a rough location of where you are when you are testing
[14:23] <niee> pragmaticenigma, Can ssh locally, but cannot ssh from wan, even though portforwarding is enabled
[14:23] <tomreyn> in case english is not your primary language, there are also language specific channels for ubuntu, usually called #ubuntu-XY where XY is a 2 letter country (or language) code.
[14:24] <tomreyn> hmm this sounds more like a ##networking / routing / router configuration issue.
[14:24] <Bluewolf> pragmaticenigma: I'm not sure of what I am doing here, the instructions appear to differ from my situation.
[14:25] <niee> copy and paste sshd and ssh config file from another ubuntu server where no problem.
[14:26] <pragmaticenigma> niee: It is possible your Internet provider is blocking connections on Port 22. You might have to setup your router to use a different port externally and map it to port 22 internally. (Many ISPs block port 22 because running any servers on their connection is against your terms of service agreement.)
[14:27] <niee> pragmaticenigma, i used another port. not 22. but if you change to forwarding to another server in my network no problem. only for this new install ubuntu server.
[14:28] <pragmaticenigma> niee: Is your router forwarding WAN side port X to LAN side port 22?
[14:28] <pragmaticenigma> niee: Are you given the option to map ports? Or do you just open a port on the router and tell it which IP address to forward to?
[14:30] <pragmaticenigma> Bluewolf: I'm sorry, graphics drivers are not something I'm very familiar with. I also don't understand why you think the directions don't apply to your situation. For the volunteers here to help you, you have to be very descriptive about what you are doing and the setup you have. Assume that no one here has interacted with you before this moment and we are starting from scratch.
[14:31] <niee> pragmaticenigma, yes. no problem to another server in my local network. only for this computer. just open port. if you forwardin to 192.168.11.11 or 192.168.11.22 no problem in port 22 or xxx or another. only to this server 192.168.11.166.
[14:31] <Bluewolf> pragmaticenigma: Yes sorry, my multitasking is crossing wires xD
[14:32] <Bluewolf> lotuspsychje:pragmaticenigma: Confirm this is correct "quiet splash nomodeset $vt_handoff"
[14:32] <Bluewolf> ?
[14:32] <Bluewolf> As explained in the link.
[14:32] <niee> pragmaticenigma, what config matter to be able to connect except ssh_and sshd config in /etc/ssh/
[14:33] <pragmaticenigma> niee: that really doesn't answer the question I had, but I think we're at a point where this really isn't an ubuntu problem, but something in your router setup not being correct. Which isn't something that is supported here. As mentioned before, you may have better luck in ##networking ... The only ubuntu thing I can suggest at this point is to update your SSH configuration to add an additional port, matching the port number you
[14:33] <pragmaticenigma> have enabled to the WAN.
[14:34] <Bluewolf> Okay, Its gotten me onto the desktop.
[14:35] <sixwheeledbeast> niee: from a quick read of backscroll could be a NAT loopback issue with your router, but again it's off topic. Also not using default ports is "security by obscurity" IMO
[14:35] <niee> pragmaticenigma, yes. may be in my router problem. now i try to delete and add again this port forwarding.
[14:36] <lotuspsychje> Bluewolf: sudo lshw -C video to see your card, ubuntu-drivers list to see the available drivers for your card
[14:39] <niee> pragmaticenigma, tnx for help. i delete my record in my router and add again. now work :)
[15:08] <Haxxa> hey guys recently my XPS got its mb and ssd replaced. I need to reinstall ubuntu on my xps 13, dell produces a custom version of ubuntu for the xps 13, anyone know whats different exsactly apart from dell app and custom plymouth boot logo?
[15:09] <pragmaticenigma> it will probably work with regular ubuntu... just some components may require finding drivers
[15:09] <lotuspsychje> Haxxa: yesterday you asked info about 20.04, are you testing that?
[15:10] <Haxxa> lotuspsychje yes but only in a kvm vm so far
[15:10] <Haxxa> migrating shortly
[15:11] <lotuspsychje> Haxxa: so is your question about 20.04 or not?
[15:12] <Haxxa> lotuspsychje no its about the dell image, my google foo has been unable to fnd the custom ubuntu image
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> Haxxa: we can only provide support for the official ubuntu iso's, so not sure what dell uses exactly, but you could discuss that in #ubuntu-discuss if you want
[15:16] <jeremy31> Haxxa: I think Dell has some of their own repos for some custom dkms packages
[15:18] <wozy> hi, im trying to use wine to install this windows app: https://play.overwolf.com/dotaplus/
[15:18] <wozy> but i get an error while installing it says "wine wasn't able to do something"
[15:18] <tomreyn> Haxxa: can you tell the exact model?      journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:'     should tell
[15:18] <wozy> it needs to access the internet to download the app files
[15:18] <wozy> is that the problem?
[15:18] <Haxxa> jeremy31 yeah according to my reading that is the case, they also add a “restore to factory settings” option in the Grub menu, replace boot screen etc.
[15:19] <wozy> because i read somewhere wine doesnt allow access to the emulated apps
[15:19] <wozy> any help?
[15:19] <Haxxa> tomreyn I'm running Windows at present on this machine, aiming to replace it shortly, but its a 9360 model
[15:20] <tomreyn> Haxxa: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/osiso/ub16g
[15:22] <Haxxa> tomreyn yeah I tried that but the tech replaced the motherboard with a generic mb and its licenced to windows not sure what the org. service tag is as its not in the sticker location
[15:22] <Haxxa> so bit boned
[15:22] <tomreyn> Haxxa: talk to dell
[15:22] <Haxxa> might have to call them or find a service tag of dev machine online
[15:23] <Haxxa> Is it a bad idea just to install stock ubuntu?
[15:23] <Haxxa> like any major benefit to dell edition? I assume battery optimisations
[15:24] <libussa> hey people, I'm interested in a bug fix applied for this package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem-osp1 the current version for Eoan (myversion) is 5.0.0-1037.42. The fix is in 5.0.0-1039.44. What I don't get is that Bionic is already updated to 5.0.0-1040.45 . Any way to know when will the new version drop for Eoan?
[15:25] <styledash> its never a bad idea to install stock ubuntu lol
[15:26] <Haxxa> styledash but I wonder what dell has done to optimize their distro
[15:26] <Haxxa> I would like to replicate it with I install stock
[15:26] <Haxxa> *if
[15:28] <styledash> the advantage of an xps developer edition is not having to pay a windows license fee... not dells special install of ubuntu
[15:28] <wozy> guys
[15:28] <wozy> can i get any help?
[15:29] <Haxxa> just ask
[15:29] <wozy> i did
[15:29] <styledash> i dont use wine or windows apps, sorry
[15:29] <wozy> kk
[15:30] <wozy> Haxxa?
[15:30] <Haxxa> wozy same, best to ask #winehq
[15:32] <wozy> ok ty
[15:32] <wozy> no1 is replying there tho
[15:33] <tomreyn> !wine
[15:34] <wozy> tomreyn you use ubuntu and don't know what wine is?
[15:37] <tomreyn> getting apps on wine to work can involve a lot of fiddling, not a favourite topic here.
[15:56] <emOne> how do you restore the little ubuntu app menu button on the left side if it has dissapeared?
[15:59] <p0a> Hello why does ubuntu tell me to restart every time I run software update?
[15:59] <p0a> Is it just a catch-all to ensure the newer version runs on whatever was updated?
[16:00] <sixwheeledbeast> systemd often needs a restart after update, also if there's a kernel update.
[16:00] <p0a> I think it was just some libc stuff
[16:01] <pragmaticenigma> reboot requests are typically triggered by Kernel updates, SystemD, Microcode (though that doesn't always trigger a reboot for some reason.) Also if any of those have dependencies on a library that is updated.
[16:01] <lotuspsychje> !details | emOne
[16:02] <emOne> the three by three icon that brings up the app drawer has gone
[16:03] <styledash> any gnome extensions installed recently?
[16:03] <p0a> thank you
[16:04] <tomreyn> p0a: this should tell which packages triggered the need for a reboot: cat /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
[16:04] <hggdh> p0a: you can also check which packages requested a reboot by looking at the contents of /run/reboot-required.pkgs (also /run/reboot-required will exist)
[16:04] <emOne> I recently changed my screen resolution styledash
[16:04] <hggdh> heh
[16:04] <emOne> nothing installed
[16:04] <emOne> ubunutu 18.0.4
[16:04] <tomreyn> :) hggdh
[16:05] <emOne> it is inside virtual box
[16:05] <p0a> tomreyn: nice thank you, also to hggdh
[16:05] <p0a> yeah it was libc6
[16:05] <lotuspsychje> libussa: do you have the bug ID you are talking about exactly?
[16:07] <tomreyn> p0a: there's also a package called "needrestart" which can give you a better idea of whether and why a reboot is needed, it hooks into apt(-get).
[16:08] <libussa> lotuspsychje, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/eoan/+source/linux/+bug/1859407
[16:12] <ioria> emOne,  What  ' gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-show-apps-button '  returns ?
[16:12] <emOne> one sec
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> libussa: did you test on eoan's current kernel if your issue is fixxed?
[16:14] <libussa> lotuspsychje, I'm on 5.3.0-40-generic, I don't know what you mean by current but I'm upgraded
[16:14] <emOne> no such sceme ioria
[16:14] <lotuspsychje> libussa: ah ok!
[16:15] <lotuspsychje> libussa: cause that bug ID says it should be fixxed for eoan's kernel
[16:15] <ioria> emOne,  please try again (the shema is correct for 18.04)

[16:16] <emOne> it has also strangely linked me to a URL
[16:16] <emOne> this one - > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEkOT3IngMQ
[16:16] <styledash> if you changed resolution and are running in vm... are you sure youre seeing the whole screen?
[16:17] <emOne> styledash: let me check
[16:17] <ioria> probably that ^
[16:18] <emOne> I changed to a smaller resolution and it worked
[16:18] <styledash> incredible...
[16:19] <emOne> the price for "thinking outside the box" goes to styledash :D
[16:19] <emOne> literally thinking outside the box
[16:19] <emOne> :D :D :D Lol
[16:19] <emOne> nice one ! thanks!!!

[16:20] <lotuspsychje> libussa: you can also go talk to the #ubuntu-kernel guys to know the status of the linux-image-oem-osp1 versions
[16:23] <cariveri> Hi. I just tweaked a gtk3-theme changing window decoration, colors and so on, but the context menues kept the previous gray background making the font unreadable. Any idea how to adjust this? its ubuntu 18.04.
[16:26] <togo> hello folks, I have a problem with an Ubuntu studio instalation that seems to be getting progressively worse
[16:27] <togo> I get a 'system program problem detected' dialog, but can't see myself what the complaint is about...
[16:32] <lotuspsychje> togo: did you press the report button?
[16:33] <togo> yes i reported it multiple times
[16:33] <togo> but I can still not see what it sends
[16:36] <tomreyn> togo: the file sin /var/crash should hint on what crashed recently, and so should      x-www-browser https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/$(sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id)
[16:37] <togo> dmesg has lots of read linme I/o error dev mmcblk0
[16:37] <tomreyn> as well as the system log (use the "journalctl" command)
[16:37] <togo> red
[16:38] <tomreyn> mmcblk0 would be MMC storage, so an SD card
[16:39] <togo> Oh, thats true I have a 'bad' micro sd card plugged in still I am debugging
[16:40] <togo> I didn#t think about that...
[16:42] <tomreyn> "journalctl -b -p3" would show errors and worse since the latest reboot. you could pipe its output into grep and pass a filter to it with -v so that you'll only see any errors which are not about the mmc
[16:43] <tomreyn> e.g.      journalctl -b -p3 | grep -vi mmc
[16:45] <togo> whats so strange I wanted to boot from the install disk to see if I could recover, and I even disabled booting from the internal ssd where the ubuntu studio is installed, but it ignored the usb boot media and the disabling of the internal ssd, and suddenly still came up on the internal ssd boot
[16:47] <Eickmeyer[m]> tomreyn: Not necessarily. I have a laptop whose internal SSD is recognized as mmcblk0. Just FYI. :)
[16:52] <togo> entirely possible, that ssd had first refused to be installed, then a testinstall with windows somehow appeared to fix it...
[16:53] <lotuspsychje> togo: some details would be nice, so the volunteers can try helping you
[16:53] <lotuspsychje> togo: aka: ubuntu version, kernel, the logs requested above in a pastebin
[16:54] <togo> isn't there some self healing feature in the SSD that locks bad sectors away automatically?
[16:55] <togo> yes just that I started the chat on a different machine because I thought I wasn't even going to be able to boot at all
[16:58] <togo> at any rate I managed to back up the data, and will try a reboot to see if it was maybe just that inserted bad usd chip
[16:58] <togo> micro sd
[17:06] <togo> Indeed, now it booted just fine - thanks guys!
[17:06] <togo> btw - is there any special tool to analyze and repair misbehaving micro sd cards?
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> togo: gparted can format them, but make sure you backup data before, do you still have data on it you need?
[17:18] <togo> lotuspsychje: thank you, that what I was working with - just that it told me for recovery I needed 'gpart', and that was not in the software repository for unknown reasons
[17:19] <lotuspsychje> togo: do you want to recover data on it?
[17:28] <kinghat> any of you guys use zulucrypt? going through the README it says which packages but it cant find those exact packages when i try to install them
[17:29] <Volund> so
[17:31] <Volund> Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 19.10 as my Desktop OS. My GPU is an nVidia GTX 980Ti and for once I had a pleasant installation - Ubuntu detected the card, installed the nvidia drivers, and it Simply Worked. However I awoke to a nasty surprise today; both my screens had gone blank overnight and kept powering off on and on as if they were Only Sometimes getting signals while the computer idled, but never displayed anything. When I moved my mouse or
[17:31] <Volund> pressed keyboard buttons, nothing happened. The monitors didn't start receiving a useful signal.
[17:32] <Volund> I have since upgraded to nvidia-drivers-440 from -430 but haven't tested whether this solved the problem. However, I wonder if anyone else has encountered this issue?
[17:47] <pragmaticenigma> kinghat: Ubuntu support is only available for the official flavors of Ubuntu and the software packages provided in the official Ubuntu software repositories. For applications that you have found elsewhere, you will need to search for their community forums and support options.
[17:47] <kinghat> ah yes. i forgots.
[17:48] <pragmaticenigma> Volund: Until it happens again, there isn't a lot that can be done at this time. You can try setting a shorter delay on the power saving options and see if the issue happens again. You might also want to make sure that you don't have conflict power profile options set. Checking areas that you configure your graphics card as well as ubuntu settings for various Power Saving options.
[17:50] <pragmaticenigma> Volund: You can also search through the logs in syslog or journalctl to see if there is anything loging for errors about power states.
[18:35] <robertparkerx> I've read how to install samba and setup shares. It doesn't look to difficult. So I just do that then disconnect the monitor and keep it hooked up to the network?
[18:36] <robertparkerx> Working with other ubuntu server installs that I've purchased they boot up and are usable once powered on. Is that the same principle ?
[18:44] <cshar_> Yes, you can remove the monitor.  It is not required unless you need direct console access.  Just connect via ssh as needed.
[19:10] <styledash> that sweet sweet headless life
[19:33] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I am actively at war with my kernel
[19:34] <ToAruShiroiNeko> every so often the boot partition gets full and I manually ave to clean it
[19:34] <ToAruShiroiNeko> now I no longer can install the latest kernel
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> current working kernel is 4.4.0-154-generic
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> latest version is 173 I think
[19:35] <ToAruShiroiNeko> apt-get upgrade does nothing
[19:37] <jeremy31> ToAruShiroiNeko: Do you have an encrypted install?  Why the need for a boot partition?
[19:37] <ToAruShiroiNeko> It was created by the installer eons ago
[19:39] <jeremy31> ToAruShiroiNeko: and sudo apt autoremove doesn't work because boot is full
[19:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> that was the case
[19:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I fixed it by manually removing several kernels
[19:39] <ToAruShiroiNeko> latest one was broken so I removed it too
[19:40] <jeremy31> ToAruShiroiNeko: you might have to delete some initrd-img files then do a sudo apt-get install -f
[19:41] <ToAruShiroiNeko> yes I tried that
[19:41] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I am unable to recover after that
[19:42] <ToAruShiroiNeko> what would I normally do to install 4.4.0-173-generic normally?
[19:42] <ToAruShiroiNeko> upgrade should do it right?
[19:42] <acebrianjuan> Hi folks, what is the name of the command that displays the ubuntu logo on the terminal?
[19:43] <jeremy31> ToAruShiroiNeko: something like sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic
[19:43] <ducasse> acebrianjuan: do you mean during boot?
[19:44] <osse> I have a bunch of directories /lib/modules/linux-modules-4.*   which aren't owned by any package. Can I just remove them? They're much smaller than the dirs for linux 5, which I am running
[19:46] <acebrianjuan> ducasse: hmm, not sure
[19:46] <acebrianjuan> I mean this: https://itsfoss.com/display-linux-logo-in-ascii/
[19:47] <ducasse> acebrianjuan: neofetch?
[19:47] <acebrianjuan> idk
[19:47] <acebrianjuan> looks like that must be the command
[19:48] <acebrianjuan> I thought this was a standard command on Ubuntu
[19:48] <ToAruShiroiNeko> jeremy31 that did the trick
[19:48] <ToAruShiroiNeko> OMFG I so want to face huggle you right about now
[20:50] <texla> How to enlarge panel on 18.04.4 cinammon
[20:59] <Kumool> is it possible that the wrapper script for firefox to break and if so how?
[20:59] <Kumool> it currently does not work at all
[21:07] <pragmaticenigma> Kumool: What do you mean by "wrapper script" ?  there are no scripts to launch firefox in Ubuntu
[21:09] <Kumool> yes there are
[21:09] <Kumool> /usr/bin/firefox is a wrapper script
[21:10] <Kumool> /usr/lib/firefox is the directory that actually contains firefox
[21:10] <Kumool> but I've found what broke the script
[21:11] <pragmaticenigma> I have no file in /usr/bin/firefox on my system. I assume that you must have placed it there or used some sort of installer
[21:11] <pragmaticenigma> err
[21:11] <Kumool> yeah
[21:11] <Kumool> the ubuntu installer
[21:11] <pragmaticenigma> sorry... thought firefox was path, not file
[21:11] <Kumool> whats file `which firefox` ?
[21:15] <sixwheeledbeast> It's a symlink to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh
[21:16] <Kumool> yeah
[21:16] <Kumool> I thought I was going insane there
[21:17] <Kumool> like only my system has this weird wrapper made by canonical? http://tpaste.us/5Ee0
[21:17] <sixwheeledbeast> Its a launcher script with "set -e"
[21:17] <leftyfb> Kumool: what is your issue?
[21:17] <Kumool> leftyfb: nothing, I've found out what the issue was
[23:09] <ll07G> x
[23:11] <drecondius> Ok, I setup ubuntu server 18.04.3(.?? ) updated, setup the ppa for mesa and nvidia depending on which card I'm able to get down the road, and Enlightenment, How can i install x and configure it to start enlightenment or do i need to get lightdm to start it?
[23:12] <drecondius> I should correct Enlightenment wm via ppa
[23:15] <oerheks> enlightenment, it is not in our repos?
[23:15] <drecondius> 17 is, i'm using 21
[23:16] <pragmaticenigma> drecondius: Support for PPAs are provided through their creator/maintainers. This channel focuses support for official Ubuntu flavors and the packages distributed through the official software repositories. You should check to make sure the package doesn't already exist in those repos before adding a PPA
[23:16] <drecondius> It's official support when the WM doesn't install x or a dm
[23:17] <drecondius> neither does installing enlightenment via the supplied repo
[23:17] <oerheks> no, it is not. there is #e.de though
[23:17] <oerheks> !ppa
[23:17] <drecondius> e17
[23:18] <drecondius> I'm not after support for the wm, I need help with X and the DM
[23:18] <ll07G> hi all, I have problems playing mp4 vids on 18.04.4. I already installed the codecs and also restriced/
[23:18] <ll07G> extras but wont fix the problem
[23:19] <drecondius> I'm installed from server not a live environment
[23:19] <ll07G> the vid themself is playing but very artefacted
[23:19] <drecondius> I'm setting it up as light as possible
[23:19] <ToAruShiroiNeko> so I want to upgrade my postgres package to version 11.1 specifically, how can I do this with apt-get?
[23:19] <oerheks> drecondius,  for setting up, i think you need; sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[23:19] <oerheks> and reboot
[23:19] <ToAruShiroiNeko> sudo apt-get install postgres=11.1 isnt it
[23:19] <drecondius> ok
[23:21] <oerheks> bionic gives postgresql 10, disco and eoan give 11
[23:21] <drecondius> what's weird is light dm didn't take this long to install when I switched from gdm on my workstation
[23:21] <ToAruShiroiNeko> it is unable to locate package
[23:22] <drecondius> but i already had x then .... d'oh
[23:24] <pragmaticenigma> ToAruShiroiNeko: You cannot specify version like that. And Ubuntu 18.04 repos do not provide a newer version of postgre above postgre 10. If you need a particular feature from Postgre 11, the recommendation is to upgrade to the latest support release of Ubuntu, Ubuntu 19.10 which has the desired package.
[23:25] <ToAruShiroiNeko> oh
[23:25] <ToAruShiroiNeko> so 11.1 is too new?
[23:25] <oerheks> for LTS, yes. all security fixes are backported though
[23:26] <ToAruShiroiNeko> okay, I am actually trying to upgrade pgdump onoly
[23:26] <ToAruShiroiNeko> *only
[23:26] <drecondius> Ok, got lightdm, but i go to login and it says failed to start session
[23:26] <pragmaticenigma> ToAruShiroiNeko: It's not that it is too new... it's that Ubuntu strives for stability. which means the version that was available at release is the version that stays with the ubuntu release. Patches and updates are provided when necassary
[23:26] <ToAruShiroiNeko> could I just upgrade that?
[23:27] <drecondius> You would have to find a ppa
[23:27] <drecondius> which can lead to instability
[23:27] <ToAruShiroiNeko> maybe upgradomg tp postgres 10 would be sufficient
[23:27] <drecondius> which i think i'm experiencing lol
[23:27] <oerheks> or go the unsupported route, https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
[23:27] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I am primarily trying to upgrade pgdump to resolve a compatibility issue
[23:28] <ToAruShiroiNeko> ubuntu 19 isnt lts yet, right?
[23:28] <pragmaticenigma> !YY.MM | ToAruShiroiNeko
[23:29] <leftyfb> ToAruShiroiNeko: the only supported solution for you is to upgrade/reinstall with 19.10. Other than that, there are other solutions out there, like the link oerheks posted above, but we cannot help with that.
[23:29] <leftyfb> ToAruShiroiNeko: Ubuntu 19.04 is EOL and 19.10 is not an LTS release and never will be. That's not how LTS releases work
[23:31] <drecondius> installed lightdm, still had to install xinit, do I need to run an empty dpkg-reconfigure or just specify x(init) or reconfigure lightdm again?
[23:31] <leftyfb> drecondius: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Enlightenment#Installing_E17  there are your supported instructions on installing E17 on ubuntu 18.04. Anything else we are not able to help with, sorry.
[23:32] <leftyfb> drecondius: there are instructions on that page for help installing E21 as well.
[23:32] <drecondius> so, you can't help with fixing the xserver?
[23:33] <drecondius> I haven't even made it to launch a wm, JUST lightdm, X wouldn't start anything afterwards
[23:33] <leftyfb> drecondius: you didn't follow the instructions for E17. If you had, you would be running E17 right now.
[23:33] <drecondius> top doesn't show any X processes so I don't understand how to kill it short of a reboot
[23:33] <ToAruShiroiNeko> yeah that is an overkill
[23:34] <ToAruShiroiNeko> all I need is pgdump
[23:34] <drecondius> and I'm just trying to fix a base xserver without anything else right now :P
[23:34] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I do not in any shape or form remotely consider upgrading the OS just for one package
[23:34] <leftyfb> ToAruShiroiNeko: and to get what you need, you need to install Ubuntu 19.10 or follow other, unsupported instructions you have been given. Good luck
[23:35] <leftyfb> drecondius: what is wrong with your xserver? What error are you getting?
[23:36] <drecondius> leftyfb failed to start session, i do believe that i missed something, I installed from server for bare minimum
[23:36] <leftyfb> drecondius: that's not how you install E17. Follow the instructions I posted above. Remove the PPA first since that will result in conflicting packages and configs and is unsupported here
[23:39] <leftyfb> drecondius: sudo apt install ppa-purge -y && sudo ppa-purge ppa:niko2040/e19 && sudo apt install e17 # then at the login screen, click the little ubuntu circle and pick Enlightenment as your DE.
[23:40] <leftyfb> sorry, change yours to e21, not e19
[23:43] <drecondius> i'm glad i'm doing this on a non critical machine.1mm0rT@liTy
[23:44] <oerheks> oh, e21 ..
[23:44] <ll07G> can anyone help with my problem playing mp4 files?
[23:45] <drecondius> are the xserver log files in /var/logs or somewhere else?
[23:45] <rypervenche> ll07G: What problem are you having and what program are you using to play them?
[23:46] <ll07G> rypervenche: the videos are very artefacted, sound is ok. I tried with VLC
[23:47] <oerheks> VLC should have all codecs inside.. what is the mediainfo of that mp4?
[23:47] <oerheks> does it happens with all mp4?
[23:48] <ll07G> oerheks: thats why i tried with vlc. I tried several files all happened this problem
[23:48] <ll07G> On 17.10 (same machine) everything works fine
[23:50] <ll07G> oerheks: how to figure out mediainfo you asked for?
[23:50] <bprompt> ll07G:  does -> file FILENAME <- shows anything?  , btw there's a "mediainfo" app you can install to check details on a audio/video/image file
[23:52] <ll07G> bprompt: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]
[23:53] <oerheks> so, if it happens to all mp4, what is your cideocard?
[23:53] <drecondius> was the very barebones xwm removed from the xserver package, or is is decorated by the wm / de
[23:53] <oerheks> c/videocard
[23:53] <bprompt> ll07G: sounds like lack of codecs though, either that or some codec missing due to copyrights, and some players have that, though not VLC
[23:54] <oerheks> mp4 container might be heavy on a intel 3rd gen
[23:55] <ll07G> videocard is [AMD/ATI] RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450]
[23:55] <oerheks> oh, openradeon supports ati 4xxx and up
[23:55] <oerheks> no wonder..
[23:55] <ll07G> but under 17.10 is working well
[23:58] <oerheks> i doubt that, ati did not suddenly drop support. reinstall 16.04 LTS then?
[23:58] <ll07G> and cpu is AMD not Intel
[23:59] <CarlFK> anyone know of a URL with instructions on how to get to this #ubuntu using matrix on a phone?
[23:59] <ll07G> reinstall 16.04 and then upgrade to 18.x ?
