[00:09] Hello, i'm wondering if anybody has any time to help me with a problem i'm having dual booting ubuntu and windows 10 === Kon- is now known as chrismatthews [00:11] kasparhauser: It's best to ask your question up front instead of asking to ask a question. If someone knows something about your situation, they will respond. If no one knows, no one will respond. [00:15] :-) [00:22] Hello, is there any way to get notification alert sounds on Xubuntu 19.10? I've tried turning it on at the "appearance" app and installing ubuntu-sounds, but I still get no sounds when a notification popup appears. === grizz342 is now known as rgrizz [00:26] JohnnyonFlame, maybe this page is any help, settings editor, enable event sounds and inputfeedbacksounds ? https://askubuntu.com/questions/928508/notifications-alert-sound-on-xubuntu-16-04 [00:26] this might need a logout/login.. [00:27] thanks, I'll attempt that [00:27] note there's also #xubuntu (though it can be less active than #ubuntu) [00:30] i'm not really sure how to formulate my question, but you're certainly correct. so i installed ubuntu today and everything seemed fine, i restarted and booted straight to windows. I restarted and poked around the bios options for a bit and trying some things that I've read helped others, but can't find anything really to my specific desktop. there's no option to change add the grub or whatever [00:30] boot option to load ubuntu upon startup [00:30] it just loads straight to windows everytime and in the bios there's no recognition that i even have ubuntu installed [00:32] kasparhauser: have you installed ubuntu booted on UEFI? [00:33] i have UEFI i think [00:33] i'm not really sure what that means [00:33] kasparhauser: I do not do Windows, However, may I suggest that you boot the ubuntu installer in "try ubuntu" mode and run terminal command ' sudo parted -l ' to KNOW if ubuntu is installed ? [00:34] !who | kasparhauser [00:34] kasparhauser: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:35] !tab [00:35] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:37] kasparhauser: depending on how you burned your install media you might have the option to boot ubuntu w/ an UEFI image (it should be listed as such on your computer's boot menu) [00:39] use UEFI legacy JohnnyonFlame: [00:39] check out the uefi manual, [00:39] !uefi [00:39] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [00:42] Dreaman: It's often better to try and understand how someone's system is setup before telling them outright to use UEFI Legacy. If their system has Windows installed with UEFI, then Ubuntu will also need to be installed with UEFI. If the installed Ubuntu in legacy mode, they won't be able to get windows back until they switch the system back to UEFI mode [00:44] my dual boot work ok [00:44] yeah, I was recommending installing with UEFI because they did claim "it was booting straight to windows", so I assumed the objective was having the grub menu available for dual booting [00:44] I'm going to check out that UEFI manual and report back - i think it is UEFI === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [00:44] Bashing-om: I'll also try what you suggested [00:45] i guess fastboot is your issue.. [00:45] kasparhauser: :D When we know more, wee can tell more. [00:46] kasparhauser: btw one common problem with windows is that "shutting down" is in fact just a suspend of some sort these days [00:47] Settings => System => Power & Sleep => Additional Power Settings => "Choose what the power buttons do" => "Change settings that are curently unavailable" => Uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" => Click Save [00:53] pragmaticenigma https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zGZRq5qqKj/ :) [00:53] see [00:53] my setup [00:53] can anyone tell me what packages i need to install to have a fully functioning but still minimal enlightenment environment, installing from a server install [00:54] work work [00:54] because e17 doesn't contain anything other than enlightenment, When I install lightdm followed by enlightenment i get a could not start session message === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [00:55] does anyone know how to adjust the pressure for touchpad taps in libinput [00:56] Drecondius: you left too early in your last session. leftyfb discovered, and I found that it appears you need to use the gdm Desktop Manager. Which should resolve the issue with being unable to start session. [00:58] Drecondius: install server , install e17 and gdm. Reboot. At login pick enlightenment as your DE at the login screen [00:58] Dreaman: All that means is that Windows was also installed in Legacy mode (which it can be.) Having one OS installed in UEFI mode, and another in Legacy mode, you will not be able to select between the OSes on boot with out changing settings in the BIOS each time. [00:58] i install UEFI not start [00:58] change the bios to UEFI legacy [00:58] Hello, does anyone make music in Ubuntu? [00:59] and boot [00:59] I am looking for a keyboard/synth app I can make stuff in, export as mp3 or wav, and import into audacity for multi tracking [00:59] I need a synth software with synthesizer effects and piano keyboard layout [00:59] Nyle, check out ubuntu-studio [00:59] tons of apps tools synths and more [00:59] What is an ubuntu studio? I will check it out [01:00] Oh it's a specialized distro. Ahh. Usually these 'spins' as fedora calls them, have meta packages or tasksel entries [01:00] Nyle: It's a flavor of Ubuntu that is pre-setup with Audio/Video/Illustration tools as part of the default installation [01:00] Do you think ubuntu studio is installable to a regular 18.04 with tasksel or whatever packages [01:00] one can add the metapackages for those tools [01:01] I'll check out tasksel hang on [01:01] so I just created a livecd with cubic with a custom kernel and patched versions of some packages for my surface tablet [01:01] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/UbuntuStudioPackages [01:01] when i install from the livecd, will it copy those patched packages over? [01:01] -audio and -recording, i guess [01:01] r3muxd: Support here is for official Ubuntu flavors as provided through official Ubuntu distribution channels. custom kernels and spins are not supported here [01:02] Ahh. There are two tasks for it in tasksel-data === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [01:02] r3muxd, if you set it up correctly, yes [01:05] Oh it's got some nice stuff there I didn't know exited even [01:05] have fun! [01:07] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/ubuntustudio-audio [01:07] Let's see if any synth stuff is usable/good [01:07] Thanks [01:07] Andantino, pressure and libinput , libinput-tools should provide this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/libinput-measure-touchpad-pressure.1.html [01:07] and some reading https://askubuntu.com/questions/973090/how-to-configure-touchpad-tap-sensitivity [01:10] thanks oerheks === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [01:12] If anyone cares [01:13] Yoshimi has what I was looking for, keyboard layout and synth effects etc. [01:13] nice [01:19] and something silly it does [01:19] When you go click menu, documentation, it fires this command: find / -name yoshimi-user-manual-1.5.6.pdf -print -quit [01:20] That's just dumb. That is just universally dumb. [01:20] I'm on an old machine, and hung up, and wondering why. That's why. [01:21] wow. that's really dumb. [01:21] Package needs patching at the very least if upstream isn't going to fix the menu entry command. [01:21] At the very least, hard code it and drop the manual in /usr/share or something [01:22] I've got a machine with 100M files on it; I have no idea how long that would take, but it'd be crazy. :) even 'locate foo' takes something like one or two minutes [01:23] https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi/blob/master/src/UI/MasterUI.fl#L373 [01:23] Why. [01:24] Why would you do this? sarnold oh ha. I run a cron to keep running updatedb every few hours [01:24] I love locate. === daniel is now known as Guest40446 [01:28] https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi/blob/cb93c31b0fa468e111c06e83c0fd1381f1bd17b7/src/Interface/InterChange.cpp#L746 who the hell codes like this? I mean, yeah, functional app, but some bits are just terrible. [01:29] Anyway [01:29] $ time locate foo.bar.baz [01:29] real 1m41.421s [01:30] Yeah, this Yoshimi program needs an ubuntu specific patch. Tiny thing not that bad/big. [01:30] I wonder who the maint is. [01:31] Oh right, not in Debian anymore. [01:31] Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers not just one person. [01:31] Nyle: Come join us in #ubuntu-discuss to continue this topic please [01:31] Ok [01:32] maybe you need the backports ppa, but it might pull in more than just your app,, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/BackportsPPA [02:04] so the only way, according to apt and aptitude, to get gdm, is to install ubuntu-desktop ... [02:05] wait, i may not have enabled uinverse [02:05] but it shoulddn't be in universe should it? [02:07] isnt everything in the universe? [02:08] touche` [02:09] What i mean is the singular package set for just gdm shouldn't be in the universe repo but the main correct? [02:10] Drecondius: ubuntu-desktop is not a dependency of gdm3 afaict [02:14] nope, but the desktop depends on gdm3 [02:19] true, but not what you said [02:23] what I said was "I shouldn't have to install ubuntu-desktop just to get gdm." meaning it's wasted space and bandwidth to download the entire desktop suite when all I want is gdm [02:23] Drecondius: since ubuntu-desktop is not a dependency, you can install gdm3 by itself [02:25] you can install any wm instead of gnome-shell === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:44] I cannot, for the life of me locate gdm, is it perhaps gdm3 or something else [02:45] right, gdm3 [02:45] and now this is the part where i kick myself in the *** [02:47] I really wanted to work with the entrance wm that is part of the enlightenment desktop experienc but It doesn't come with e17 [02:47] hell, it's not even listed on the enlightenment website [02:51] the path to enlightenment is long and full of hardships, they say. [02:52] but you could start by having a glimpse at the e17* packages [02:53] i did, there isn't any mention of entrancedm [02:53] which saddens me [02:54] gdm is a bit heavy for the computer I'm using it on, so i've been scouring the internet for the past few hours trying to find a decent answer and lo, the mighty google has failed [02:55] Drecondius: try lightdm or slim [02:55] root 2078 0.0 0.0 8520 2124 ? Ss Feb22 0:00 /usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon [02:56] One can only assume, as I am right now, with all the links pointing back to the enlightenment website, that it's included in efl [02:57] this is from debian, but probably applies to ubuntu as well: https://wiki.debian.org/DisplayManager [02:58] oh man, nodm, that's a perfect fit for usecases people have every few months [03:16] nodm would work wonderfully lol, after it's setup it's going to be disconnected from the internet and basically sleep till it detects a joystick input or bluetooth wake event [03:18] hi folks [03:19] I did some regular upgrades to 19.10 today, and now, ubuntu desktop doesn't start. Says it's a problem with gnome-initial-setup. [03:20] Is this a known problem? btw...I went back to the previous kernel, but that made no difference. I'm getting no login screen. [03:24] Linux ubuntuhome 5.3.0-40-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 31 20:24:34 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux is what I'm running. [03:24] 5.3.0-18-genereric is my other, older kernel. [03:24] login at the tty and try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 [03:25] Drecondius: Since I'm at tty2 now, I can do that. [03:25] @johnfg [03:25] you can do it from any tty [03:25] except 7 because that's reserved for x [03:26] well, I think my ssd just bit the bucket [03:26] johnfg: did you spot anything in the logs? [03:26] Drecondius: yikes :( [03:26] I ran that cmd, but it didn't make a difference. Would I have to reboot? [03:27] sarnold: That's a bummer. [03:27] yes [03:27] k, brb [03:27] yup, it's dead, no boot device found [03:28] well, maybe if i can get a live to boot i can try to bring it back [03:33] No difference after reboot. [03:33] [ 20.053384] gnome-initial-s[1568]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fb10cccc572 sp 00007fff55622c48 error 4 in libc-2.30.so[7fb10cc44000+178000] [03:33] That's from dmesg. [03:34] there is a /var/log/gdm3, but it's empty. [03:34] that's it? dang. that's a bit thin. [03:35] Any other log I should look in? [03:37] try journalctl -xe [03:37] johnfg: you may also have more info in /var/crash and, if you submit crash reports, at x-www-browser https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/$(sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id) [03:38] I did submit the crash reports. [03:43] So, I do have the info in /var/crash. Hard to decipher. Any ideas? [03:43] apport-unpack --help [03:45] Usage: /usr/bin/apport-unpack [03:46] so /var/crash/ contains reports, you can unpack and then inspect them. [03:47] but it may be easier to just share your unique whoopsie id, if you're not thinking of this as sensitive matter, or some of the crashes listed on your web browser when running the command i provided. [03:48] the x-www-browser https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/$(sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id) command, that is [03:49] Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified. Do I have to be using X for that browser? [03:50] I'm in a tty [03:51] for this X browser? yes. or you can set DISPLAY=:0 or just share the whoopsie id which is printed using echo $(sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id) [03:53] I lose all input when starting with nodm, how can i start in safe mode and remove nodm [03:54] !recovery [03:54] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [03:54] 1f044936167cf4f42cf853ceea9eda1ef0975ea6b388d6c3c74cb579357146add6088b1f6dc116e3a899b081169d78c27fd3434c784fb956d30e1d90d13924a7 [03:54] There it is. [03:54] thank ye kindly [03:54] np [03:54] sorry, that was for tomreyn [03:54] oh wow, openafs? neat [03:55] openafs? [03:55] one of the loaded kernel modules [03:55] I cannot get mdadm to scrub my array. echoing check does not initiate the scrub. checkarray said a check is queued, but nothing happens... [03:56] it's an implementation of AFS, which is a bit like NFS, but different :)( [03:56] Yup, been running openafs for lots of years. server is debian. [03:56] also wayland apparently [03:57] oh right i missed openafs there [03:58] hmm, what would happen if you just purge gnome-initial-setup ? would it bust new users when they try to log in for the first time? [03:59] can I get my normal boot console to have a bigger font, i'm setting this up on a 4k tv and it's a bit hard to read 2m away [04:00] i figured that measurement is in better perspective for most people here right now [04:02] sarnold: how would I do that? [04:03] johnfg: apt purge gnome-initial-setup [04:03] sarnold: ok, gotcha. I thought you meant something else. And then, I assume, reinstall? Would you reboot in between? [04:04] johnfg: if it's a single-user machine, maybe just remove it, reboot, see what happens.. [04:04] if you never add new users you may not miss it [04:04] so i suspect this is wayland related. it may also be related to having outdated package versions installed (UnreportableReason): "apport, libegl-mesa0, libegl1-mesa, libgbm1, libgl1-mesa-dri, libglapi-mesa, libglx-mesa0, libxatracker2, mesa-vulkan-drivers, python3-apport, python3-problem-report" [04:05] This is a very new install of ubuntu-19.10, on what's a new to me, panasonic toughbook. [04:05] Don't know how I'd have outdated package versions installed. [04:05] Is there a way to fix the problem? [04:05] !update [04:05] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:06] hmm no not this [04:06] !uptodate [04:06] To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [04:06] Drecondius: hmm, so the boot parameters guide says vga=ask is a 32 bit thing :) heh -- and https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/svga.rst looks *really* old [04:07] I'll do the latter. The other was already done twice today, as I thought there may have been a problem with the earlier upgrade. [04:07] johnfg: so just install any pending updates [04:07] tomreyn: I believe they all are, but I'll double-check. [04:07] Nope, nothing to upgrade. [04:08] What's next to try? [04:09] johnfg: you can try the workaround sarnold suggested. and / or we can file a bug and, if you have a launchpad account, yuo can add to and subscribe to it. [04:09] Drecondius: setupcon and setfont may be able to help, but they are probably also from the 90s. the console is not well-loved, I think [04:11] If I try what sarnold suggested, do you think I should reboot before reinstalling? [04:12] johnfg: i think the suggetion was to not reinstall gnome-initial-login [04:13] but you should reboot to check for any effects, yes. are you able to reproduce the error? [04:14] Does it for both of my kernels, yes. [04:14] johnfg: so that's whenever you login to gnome on wayland? [04:14] and every time I reboot [04:15] jfc, how big is the xorg library, it's been downloading now for 30 minutes and I have a gigbit down [04:15] johnfg: ah, so it's somewhat easy to test, good. by the way, not using wqyland would probably also be a workaround if that's an option for you [04:15] userdel: user gnome-initial-setup is currently used by process 1272 [04:15] Could not remove gnome-initial-setup user. [04:17] do you have an nvidia gpu? [04:17] errmm [04:17] johnfg do you have an nvidia gpu? [04:17] what did i do wrong [04:17] he's gone [04:17] probably he's just rebooting [04:17] oh [04:18] I'm off, have fun, good luck :) [04:18] night for now [04:18] have a good night [04:18] thanks :D [04:24] Well, the apt purge didn't completely work, as it said there was a process running. [04:24] I actually did a startx from tty2, and do have x up and running at least. [04:25] so what about wayland vs standard Xorg? [04:29] tomreyn: I didn't even know I'd been using wayland. [04:29] My other 2 machines at the office are running debian buster, and ubuntu-server. [04:30] johnfg: you must have selected it at some point frmo the login manager. [04:30] Where is it configured to use wayland vs. standard Xorg? Is that the default now, as I'm quite sure I didn't select it. [04:30] default is still Xorg [04:31] you choose on the login screen [04:31] on gdm3 there's a little cog icon after entring the username, i think [04:32] tomreyn the login screen isn't offering that at this point. I guess it's not getting that far. [04:32] any other way to do it? [04:34] JohnnyonFlame: hmm, reboot to recovery, then start networking, drop to root shell, then apt purge gnome-initial-setup [04:35] sorry JohnnyonFlame, this was meant for johnfg [04:37] bbl [04:58] so, i just removed the default network manager from ubuntu server by accident, can i use the installer usb as a repo to re-install it? [05:16] sorry for the delay in getting back. [05:17] no worries [05:17] Well, all appears to be pretty much back to normal. And I believe that both gnome and gnome-wayland will work. [05:17] do you have an nvidia gpu? [05:18] What I had to do (or did, any way) was do dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 a 2nd time, then do a systemctl restart gdm3, and I had pretty much a normal looking login: name, then the gear box. [05:19] radeon [05:20] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M] [05:21] ah [05:21] Drecondius: what were you thinking? [05:22] Well, nvidia drivers have an issue with wayland, I've had the same problem you had with my laptop and another computer both using nvidia proprietary drivers [05:24] one of the machines the drivers messed up the xorg config, the other, messed with gdm [05:24] thanks to all that tried to help with the problem. glad it's gone away (even if not *fixed*) [05:25] if it's functioning like it's supposed to, it's fixed [05:27] Drecondius: :-) === beaver is now known as beaver_ === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman [07:03] hello, for some reason my system is in German, even though I have tried to set everyting to english. Any ideas? Apt etc. are showing German === CQ2 is now known as CQ [07:10] CQ2, nein [07:13] What is LANGUAGE is set to in /etc/default/locale [07:35] I have a bluetooth headset (wh-1000xm3) connected to my Ubuntu 18.04 lts laptop and it's working well for all applications except for my browser. The sound from my browser (vivaldi) insists on going out through the builtin laptop speakers. What can I do to debug that? All other sound is coming to the bluetooth headset as expected. [07:37] help i'm getting a blue screen ubuntu ... [07:38] good day everybody, is there a way to stop the annoying popups on boot about the linux and/or windows swap disks having no space, as that is the intention hof thos swap partitions that they use all their space, turning off notifications for files in: Settings -> Notifications -> Files , doesn't do much [07:38] gnome isn't working and i can't open files or terminal ... [07:39] Guest_73, sounds like you need to create a bootable usb stick [07:39] or a cd/dvd with ubuntu on it to boot from [07:39] vuurdraak you mean do a reinstall ? [07:39] no [07:40] you can run ubuntu from it without installing [07:40] but i can't access the files that way no ? [07:40] do you get the grub/boot menu on start ? [07:40] yes. i can login and everything [07:40] yes you can access your files in a gui [07:41] did you try to boot in to recovery mode first ? [07:41] from grub [07:41] yeah, i tried booting in recovery mode and fixing the dpkg .. [07:41] when starting on from recovery mode you stil get an error ? [07:42] yeah [07:42] vuurdraak ^^ [07:42] what do you mean with bleu screen , graphics errors or text ? [07:42] a blue screen with no icons on it [07:42] graphic errors [07:43] one sec let me check a file [07:43] i was editing a file '/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml' and had to shut the terminal prematurely. The file was unformatted. could that have been the problem [07:43] ? [07:44] so it worked untill you started editing that file ? [07:44] well, it was taking an unusually long time to load web pages beforehand [07:45] can i fix that file by booting up with a usb stick ? [07:45] but you did get a working gui before ? [07:45] yes [07:45] yeah, gui used to work fine [07:45] gnome was working np [07:45] i always have a bootable usb stick with ubuntu on it to reaque stuff [07:45] resque [07:46] u can make it if necesairy from windows, or from another computer [07:46] so i can fix the file '/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml' from a live usb ubuntu yes ? [07:47] is it possible that it wasn't the file that caused the issue ? [07:47] i guess yes, if its the same version ubuntu, in theory there should be the same file there if its in the basic install i guess even [07:48] but can i edit the file on the harddrive from ubuntu live ? [07:48] i'm not so sure i can [07:48] yes you can [07:48] root pasword on the live cd is non existent [07:48] you can just sudo mount stuff if necesairy [07:48] i think it auto mounts partitions anyway [07:49] or go via resque mode in the CLI, and use a text editor like vi [07:49] ok thanks. i'll try. [07:50] what's rescue mode ? [07:50] if i can edit the file, can i save it to disk ? [07:50] yes [07:51] resque mode i mean from grub [07:51] drop to root shell prompt [07:51] but then u need to do everything in text mode [07:51] more easy with a live usb stick [07:52] ok thanks vuurdraak :-) [07:52] unless u want to ad/remove packages, like reinstall X11 if that file you edited is part of it [07:52] then you need the grub resque mode on the original system [07:52] root shell etc to apt-get remove/install stuff [07:53] ow he was gone already :') [07:54] back to my original question :D -> is there a way to stop the annoying popups on boot about the linux and/or windows swap disks having no space, as that is the intention hof thos swap partitions that they use all their space, turning off notifications for files in: Settings -> Notifications -> Files , doesn't do much [07:54] on ubuntu 18.04* [07:55] i thought i had it turned off somewhere in 16.04, but i forgot how === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman [08:03] I figured out how to solve my problem. Using PulseAudio Volume Control I was able to choose which output the sound from my browser should go to. [08:04] pavu is great yes, good to switch between computer sound and hdmi tv sound :) [08:05] Hi All [08:06] hi o/ [08:06] How to enforce a proper formatting on a CSV file in libre office spreadsheet [08:07] Here is my required format https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/b5b7tV69wJ/ [08:07] i never use spreadsheet's i am sorry, hopefully somebody does === dingir_ is now known as dingir === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [10:30] hi everybody! What DLNA server do you use on *ubuntu? [10:37] Hello guys. I just installed Ubuntu 19.10 and latest Chromium (snap). I have a powerful PC but chrome freezes some times. [10:37] Is it known issue? How to install chromium without snap? [10:46] NoOova: chromium browser is default snap now on 19.10 === tomw is now known as tomjwatson [10:56] chromium is also as deb available === KaptenRodSkagg1 is now known as KaptenRodSkagg [11:25] I have an Ubuntu 16.04 VM with a 20GB disk and the monitoring is alerting about less than 10% free disk space. So I had a look and saw that / is only 8.1GB and /sys/fs/cgroup is 15GB ..!? [11:26] q: is there a way to stop the annoying popups on boot about the linux and/or windows swap disks having no space, as that is the intention of those swap partitions that they use all their space, turning off notifications for files in: Settings -> Notifications -> Files , doesn't do much [11:26] Here is the output of 'df -h' : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6pTvDXFJD9/ [11:26] on 18.04 lts [11:27] zetheroo: what's the output of "sudo parted -ls" [11:28] EriC^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hdWPRkfq6M/ [11:29] oh swap is 12 GB [11:29] hmm .. [11:30] linux doesn't realy need a swap drive unlike windows, i would just remove it [11:31] not really a good advise, vuurdraak [11:31] vuurdraak: uhm no ;) [11:31] on a VM with 20gig spce ? [11:32] space* [11:32] or at least reduce the swap drive to a very low amount [11:33] This VM is for running IDL jobs ... needs a lot of memory and sometimes bumps into needing swap without which the IDL job would just crash. [11:33] ah okay :') [11:35] I think it was set to 12GB swap initially because the VM was allocated 12GB memory. Now that the VM has 30GB memory it swaps a lot less and so the swap can probably be reduced. [11:39] how do I diagnose incoming packet loss? [11:39] I think my ISP blocks ICMP [11:39] install wireshark ? [11:39] so I can't ping [11:40] hi [11:40] I am looking for image viewer which can handle webp [11:41] i am reading that since 2016 gimp can open webp [11:41] https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GIMP-WebP-Image-Support [11:41] libwebp is available in ubuntu, and installed, i see [11:42] !info libwebp [11:42] Package libwebp does not exist in eoan [11:42] I don't consider gimp an image viewer [11:42] !info libwebp6 [11:42] libwebp6 (source: libwebp): Lossy compression of digital photographic images.. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.1-2 (eoan), package size 181 kB, installed size 430 kB [11:42] image viewer is something that I can use to quickly browse through images in a directory [11:42] also libwebp is not an image viewer [11:43] it is the library for imageviewers. [11:43] well I am looking for an app I can use today, not for several days or weeks coding time to make one myself.. [11:45] neure: one of these might do the job, https://askubuntu.com/questions/544254/which-image-viewers-in-linux-support-the-webp-image-format [11:45] gwenview i think has the ability to show thumbnails for dirs and is more featureful [11:46] Since a few months suspend/hibernate doesn't work anymore as expected for my laptop. It still uses energy and is empty after about 8hours. Is this a known issue? anything I can do about it? [11:46] ? sudo apt-get install webp => just wanted to post the same link :') [11:46] neure: eog is very simple and not clustered, you'll need that webp loader with it though [11:46] if you have that libwebp installed, any viewercan use it, example https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.sm.webp [11:47] lxer: maybe it's a problem with a newer kernel, have you tried an older one? [11:48] Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial [11:48] EriC^: in the past, yes :) [11:48] Anybody know how I can find out was is causing this error? Thank you [11:48] lxer: it also had the same problem? [11:49] mlokpc: where did you get that error? [11:49] EriC^: When running puppet afaik it seems to be a RAM issue [11:49] EriC^: I didn't have the issue 6months ago. But of course I don't know if it is kernel related. [11:49] mlokpc: maybe /var/crash or /var/log/apport.log has some info [11:49] EriC^: cool thanks [11:50] mlokpc: no problem [11:51] lxer: yes, i mean to boot using an older kernel when it used to work to see if that's the issue, if you absolutely need it right now to work [11:51] I did sudo apt install webp but eog still does not show webp images [11:51] EriC^: What is the best way to look for any RAM issues? I know memtest but I don't want to reboot [11:51] mlokpc: same here, i only know of memtest [11:51] oh it needs the webp-pixbuf-loader [11:52] mlokpc: maybe this might help [11:52] !memtester | mlokpc [11:52] !info memtester | mlokpc [11:52] mlokpc: memtester (source: memtester): Utility for testing the memory subsystem. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.3.0-4 (eoan), package size 15 kB, installed size 45 kB [11:53] ubottu: memtester is the only way? [11:54] mlokpc: memtester runs on the live system i think, it doesnt need a reboot [11:54] ubottu is a bot btw [11:54] EriC^: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:57]
