bray90820I am here on ubuntu 16.04.4 but no matter what I do I can't get any online streaming to work audio and video on sites like youtube and vimeo and mixlr just endlessly load01:44
bray90820I have tried it on both firefox and chromeum01:44
sarnoldbray90820: do you use ublock origin or adblock or noscript or privacy badger or any of the other "break the browser" extensions?01:46
bray90820No adblock settings01:48
bray90820sarnold:01:48
bray90820Firefox did just play DRM content from Tidal01:48
sarnolddid that require installing something "funny" from tidal to make it work? or is that using standard w3c DRM?01:49
bray90820Just stadared w3c I believe because all i did was play it straight from tidal without installing anything01:50
bray90820sarnold: If you are wondering mixlr is an audio only site01:53
bray90820sarnold: Any ideas?02:01
sarnoldbray90820: not really; if you run firefox from the command line do you get any error messages?02:01
doug16kbray90820, press F12 and look at the console02:01

sarnoldbray90820: how about dmesg? /var/log/ logs?02:11

doug16kbray90820, you could try running it like this: firefox --safe-mode02:16

doug16kfancy firewall setup?02:17
bray90820No firewall setup that I know of02:17
sarnoldpihole?02:17
bray90820No idea what that is02:18
doug16k`sudo ufw status` says inactive?02:18
sarnoldprobably not then :) hehe -- pihole is a network-wide adblocker kind of thing02:18
bray90820No adblocker installed02:18
bray90820sudo ufw status is inactive02:19
bray90820In the youtube settings I can't even change the quality of the video which is weird02:21
bray90820So local video files don't play ether02:21
doug16kbray90820, secure sites work? you can go to your bank site02:21
bray90820Yes secure site works02:22
doug16knvm, youtube wouldnt load at all02:22
Psi-JackUgh, there it goes again, "Lock was blocked by an application"02:22
bray90820Youtube.com loads but the videos don't play02:22

Psi-JackWhen I lock the screen manually, it works. when it tries to do so itself, it fails.02:23
doug16kbray90820, rasterization says what?02:24
sarnoldPsi-Jack: try using d-feet to look around for a dbus interface for inhibiting the screen lock02:25
sarnoldPsi-Jack: *maybe* it has a way to find out which application is still inhibiting the screen lock02:25
Psi-JackBut, this is with nothing even running... :/02:26
doug16kPsi-Jack, you must mean nothing apparently running. how did you verify that "nothing" is running?02:27
bray90820doug16k: https://pastebin.com/raw/fawzG9sS02:27
bray90820Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled02:27
doug16kbray90820, looks fine02:27
Psi-JackI mean that, there's nothing in startup, I closed down anything that was running, actively. And, it still was unable to automatically lock.02:28
sarnoldX error received: serial 851, error_code 170 (GLXBadWindow), request_code 152, minor_code 32 (Unknown)02:28
Psi-Jackd-feet looks pretty useful though. :)02:28
sarnoldPsi-Jack: my wild guess at this point is that an application is misbehaving -- eg the process is still running but its window is gone02:29
Psi-JackNot when confirmed with ps.02:29
sarnoldPsi-Jack: hence my hope that there's an API to find out who still has that lock :)02:29
Psi-JackDon't think of me as a newbie. Apparently this problem has been reported many many times over, according to google search results. :)02:29
sarnolddoug16k: would glxgears be a tolerable way to try to debug bray90820's GLXBadWindow error message? is that relevant?02:30
sarnoldPsi-Jack: aha, cool02:30
Psi-JackWith no solutions....02:30
doug16ksarnold, yes, the browser is probably using opengl to render the screen02:31
doug16kthe video overla02:32
doug16ky02:32
bray90820doug16k: sarnold It is not just a browser issue because local Mp4 files aren't playing02:32
sarnoldbray90820: does glxgears print anything?02:33
bray90820What is glxgears02:34
Psi-JackOh sheash, I set the lock time to 2 minutes, and that just worked. :/02:35
sarnoldit draws some gears on screen to test glx02:35
sarnoldPsi-Jack: oh sheesh :) thanks for reporting back02:35
sarnoldPsi-Jack: I *hate* things like that..02:35
Psi-JackWell, that doesn't /solve/ it, and that's realy just the powe saving blank screen. But, we'll try again with 15 minutes as it was before.02:36
Psi-JackI think it's kinda hit/miss.. Or an actual bug that originated in Fedora and made its way into Ubuntu.02:36
sarnoldPsi-Jack: I never got to the bottom of it, but a year or so ago I think I saw every few weeks my xset dpms settings being reset. I wish I could have figured that one out.02:37
Psi-Jacksarnold: Yep. That'02:37
Psi-JackThat's still an issue, actually. :)02:38

sarnoldbray90820: dang. I was hoping to spot something there :/02:44
bray90820So now what?02:46
sarnoldbray90820: I think try playing videos with mpv or mplayer or ffmpeg from the command line and see if any of *them* emit useful error messages02:47
bray90820So I just tried VLC and that works but the default video player does not work02:48

I connect from PC where my uid is 1001 using 'sudo mount.cifs //my.ip/2TBhdd /mnt/RemoteDisk -o username=alazy,uid=1234,gid=1234' where 1234 is the uid/gid of user/group alazy on the server. Once connected ls -n shows uid,gid=1234 but still treats my permissions as 'other'; if permissions are rwxr-xr-x I can't write. How to fix?15:31
alazy^Above, if I connect via ssh as alazy, I can write to the same directory.15:34
pragmaticenigmaalazy: Make sure the path /mnt/RemoteDisk is writable by your user locally15:35
alazypragmaticenigma: Thanks, did that. The local user alazy can write/edit where I cannot do so through cifs even though I think I've properly connected with alazy's uid,gid.15:37

=== andrex is now known as anderx
leftyfbalazy: what filesystem is the cifs share locally?15:39
alazyleftyfb: ext415:39
alazywith --verbose option I see: mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.67,unc=\\192.168.1.67\2TBhdd,uid=1234,gid=1234,user=alazy,pass=********15:43
alazyHowever, I can create and edit over cifs as root (sudo) user.15:46
=== anderx is now known as andrex
pragmaticenigmaalazy: I have a cifs mount, the difference that I see is I don't define the uid/gid...the Samba server is sharing a folder from an ext4 filesystem15:50
alazypragmaticenigma: At first I didn't specify uid/gid either but had the problem and saw on client that file/dir owner appeared to be root via ls -n. Googling suggested explicitly informing uid,gid to match that of local user,group owner. If you don't set uid,gid, then you must have set +w permissions for 'other', no?15:54
p0aHello I'm using `browse' to default open certain files15:54
p0aI'd like .txt files to open with emacs client. How can I do that?15:54
pragmaticenigmaalazy: The group that owns the mount point I am a member of, and the group has write permissions15:55
pragmaticenigmaalazy: actually... correction... the folder appears to be owned root:root ... write only available to user15:56
pragmaticenigmaLet me check one of my other share mounts... I realized that I only read from that folder, never write15:56
pragmaticenigmaalazy: Apologies... I appear to be in the same boat with you15:59
p0aDoes anyone know how to set up emacs to open from `xdg-open' ?15:59
p0aI tried to put `export EDITOR="emacsclient"' in my .bashrc but it invokes emacs in a terminal16:00
p0aah nevermind, I forgot to reload my .bashrc16:00
p0astill doesn't work, how does xdg-open look up the editor?16:01
pragmaticenigmaI don't believe xdg-open looks at that environment variable. It uses a definition file to match file types to handlers16:03
p0ayou're right16:03
waltmanI'm running ubuntu 18.04 as my desktop at work, and like many of us I'm now working remotely for the time being. I had to change the password used for our svn server on Tuesday. Now every time I do anything with svn it's asking me for my password. Our admin says this is a feature and it's supposed to do it, so clearly ubuntu must have been caching it somewhere. Anyone know how I can change it? I've tried16:03
waltmanremoving ~/.svn but that didn't help.16:03
waltmanIt also didn't appear to be in the gnome keyring.16:03
p0achange what waltman16:03
waltmanI'd like to change its cached password so I don't have to keep typing it.16:04
p0aYou want the new pwd to be remembered by your machine?16:04
waltmanYes.16:04
p0ahow do you use svn? whats your client16:04
waltmanJust the plain vanilla command line client, version 1.9.7.16:05
p0awaltman: it says to delete ~/.subversion/auth online16:06
p0aand then `svn up'16:06
alazypgragmaticenigma: Actually, I cannot write over cifs as normal user even to a folder with 777 permissions.16:06
p0awaltman: you also have a ~/.subversion/servers file where you can add your usernames and passwords if you have many servers16:07
waltmanI've already tried deleting that. It saves the username associated with the server but not the password. It was working last week so it's got to be saved *somewhere*.16:09
pragmaticenigmaalazy: correct, which is why i mentioned I was in the same boat as you... it's something I haven't solved16:09
p0aWhat is the `application .desktop file' ?16:10
p0aHow can I run emacsclient like that?16:10
waltmanBut I'll give the servers file a try. Thanks.16:10
p0aI want to do something like `xdg-mime default ... text/x-tex' where ... somehow describes emacsclient16:10
waltmanIt's entirely possible it's popping up something on my workstation that I can't see. I had that happen with ssh before.16:10
p0awaltman: order your files by last changed date? use find16:11
alazypragmaticenigma: I think I fixed it by providing username=alazy,gid=alazy,uid=alazy instead of providing the numeric gid,uid. Thanks anyway.16:12
waltmanp0a: Tried that.16:12
p0awaltman: I think the servers file should do it16:12
pragmaticenigmaalazy: Thanks for the update... I will give that a try on my system when I have the chance16:13
p0aaaah did it. I used Nautilus to have the Open With option do it for me16:16
p0aand I edited /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop16:16
Sbur3Three questions in one, I believe. I want to boot off of /sdb1, but it doesn't seem to do that.  How do I change booting procedures? A previous kernel ~.23 boots while expecting to boot off of ~.40. How do I get that to change? And among the sources when I try to use software updater, I find "cosmic". I don't want that. How do I make it right?16:45
Sbur3I choose Ubuntu 19.10 in the boot menu after BIOS16:46

ash_worksihi nice people. :) this isn't an ubuntu question but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I need some elementary information on how connections between systems are handled. Suggestions?17:17
lotuspsychjeash_worksi: connections as in ##networking?17:18
ash_worksilotuspsychje: already asked17:18
ash_worksibut yeah, kind of17:18
ash_worksiI feel like ##networking is more a hardware channel17:18
lotuspsychjenot really, that would be ##hardware17:19
ash_worksiwhere as I am referring specifically to how software connections are handled on nodes17:19
ash_worksiwell, people tend to ask topology questions and what-have-you17:19
ash_worksiwhich isn't really like "what is a socket?"17:19
oerhekswith tcp packets, headers and routes17:20
oerheks##networking is your source17:20
ash_worksioerheks: see, that's kind of different though17:20
ash_worksior is it?...17:21
gnomadikJust try and if they throw you out you learned something today lol17:21
rabbitnightmarecan gparted be used to write an image to a SD card?17:22
ash_worksiI mean, something needs negotiate how a request is to be initiated right? like a browser will take user input and attempt to establish a connection; there's probably gonna be something between the browser and the connection that actually interprets info the browser describes into packets and sends them... I think I am looking for information on that17:23
sarnoldash_worksi: the best way to get started is a copy of w richard stevenson's TCP/IP Illustrated17:24
sarnoldash_worksi: most of it's still pretty good despite its age; skip everything about t/tcp though17:24
oerhekswe might be able to help if it does not work17:24
ash_worksisarnold: thank you for the suggestion17:24
ash_worksit/tcp?17:24
gnomadikrabbitnightmare: not sure, but dd or ddrescue are probably better options? I know that doesn’t answer your question, sorry17:24
sarnoldash_worksi: yes, t/tcp was something w richard stevenson was quite interested in but it never went anywhere17:26
sarnoldash_worksi: but the rest of the book is fantastic :)17:26

smalltalkhey guys I've had 19.10 installed on a dell inspiron 15 7000 that I usually use an external monitor (HDMI) .. usually it runs fine, but if I take it off hdmi and battery usually docker crashes and it starts get slow and unresponsive until I reboot and goes to initramfs, after I run fsck on /dev/sdb3 (the ssd, it also has a hdd) it finds some bad blocks and fixes, after I reboot it's all good until I plug it in and off 20:52
TJ-funabashi: those are as expected so far. now try "which perl"20:52
funabashiTJ-: gives no output20:53
TJ-funabashi: aha!20:53
TJ-funabashi: you're lost the file.20:53
TJ-funabashi: could have lost more, let's check that package with "dpkg --verify perl-base"20:54
TJ-funabashi: that command should not return any messages; if it does it'll be due to missing/corrupted files which you'll need to replace20:54
funabashi??5??????   /usr/bin/perl20:54
TJ-funabashi: right, so problem20:55
TJ-funabashi: now try: "find /var/cache/apt/archives -name 'perl-base*' "20:55
TJ-funabashi: this may not return any reports. If it doesn't it means we have to manually fetch the package in order to reinstall it20:56

TJ-funabashi: then try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall perl-base" - if that works all should be good, but that may fail due to needing to call perl!  If it fails try instead "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-base_5.22.1-9ubuntu0.6_amd64.deb "21:11

sarnoldgorby: ah wifi, yeah, though probably using a different file is a good idea23:28
AlericEriC^^: Thanks. What I read here seems to indicate that /etc/apt/sources.list.d is only for 'ppa', which is described as "Personal Package Archives (PPA) is a service that allows users to upload Ubuntu source packages that are built and published with Launchpad as an apt repository" (https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-add-apt-repository-in-ubuntu/).  You think it is ok to just add my own files there? Why isn't nvidia telling ppl to do that?23:28
rabbitnightmarewhen the hell did Ubuntu stop supporting apt?!?23:29
rabbitnightmarejesus age christ23:29
oerheks...23:29
oerheksrabbitnightmare, keep the channel family friendly, thanks.23:29
Aleric(note that launchpad != nvidia)23:30
AlericHmm, I guess adding it to /etc/apt/sources.list is OK. It isn't part of some .deb, it seems entirely manually editted anyway.23:32
Bashing-omAleric: Keep in mind what Nvidia recommends "Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package."23:32

gorbysarnold : Its a new rasperry pi server install - All ive done is modify /etc/systemd/system/dbus-fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service, and created a wpa_supplicant config file and /etc/systemd/system/dhclient.service - Is there some 'proper way of doing things' I can read somewhere?23:32
rabbitnightmarewhat a garbage distro23:32
sarnoldrabbitnightmare: given that canonical employs one of the main apt developers...23:32
rabbitnightmareubuntu is such hot garbage nothing works23:33
AlericBashing-om: Yes, but that is not the case - that is why I'm trying to replace ubuntu's graphics driver packages with nvidia's.23:33
gorbysarnold: It did feel a bit weird having to create a dhclient.service - i figured something must be starting it elsewhere.23:33
AlericThat is, ubuntu's stuff works ok - until you want to have both cuda and 32bit nvidia driver support at the same time.23:34
sarnoldgorby: I think this is what I did to get my rpi 3b+ online https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/47sVt4gtyW/23:34
gorbysarnold - cool TY. So, it doesnt even use a config file for wpa supplicant anymore?23:37
sarnoldgorby: I don't think I had to learn how to use that, anyway :)23:37
AlericAnyone good with apt?23:50
AlericI don't understand this: https://gyazo.com/154bf3576e0bbbde55260b9bf018c3f223:51
AlericIt refuses to install nvidia-driver-440 (from developer.download.nvidia.com) because (first line:) Depends libnvidia-gl-440 (= ...) but 440.64-0ubuntu0~0.18.04.1 is to be installed.23:52
AlericHowever, the apt-cache policy line shows that 440.64.00-0ubuntu1 is the Candidate.23:52
AlericSo why does it say that the version from launch pad is to be installed?23:53
gorbysarnold: All working, cheers for the help :)23:53
EriC^^Aleric: what happens if you run sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-44023:53
sarnoldgorby: sweet! what was left to do?23:53
leftyfbAleric: purge the nvidia PPA you added and remove all packages installed from it. Then install the packages from ubuntu23:54
Alerichmm - I wrote a pinning erata myself.. I should ask myself this question...23:54
Alericlemme try23:54
EriC^^Aleric: do you really need both graphics-drivers ppa and nvidia ppa?23:54
gorbyChange that file, remove the changes I did to dbus-fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service reboot, done.23:55
AlericEriC^^: https://gyazo.com/875244a3ea989e7843799bdcddd4421023:55
AlericI don't know, but I think so. Nvidia is only for cuda, which doesn't support 32bit. But I need graphics support for 32bit for steam.23:55
AlericThe problem might be that your command want to remove stuff.23:56
Aleric(and that is exactly what I do not want)23:56
AlericThe following packages will be REMOVED:23:56
Aleric  libnvidia-gl-440:i386 libnvidia-ifr1-440:i386 nvidia-driver-44023:56
gorbyOne less thing to do tomorrow anyway :) Cheers.23:56
sarnoldgorby: oh cool, nice. thanks :) I set that thing up months back and wondered what else I might have overlooked23:56
AlericIf I allow that, then steam stops working23:56
sarnoldgorby: see ya,m have fun23:56
AlericI think I need to fix the pinning info to prefer the launchpad for the 32bit repositories, maybe.23:57
AlericMost people just run the .run file from nvidia - which just installs all the 64bit stuff - and apparently that works.23:58
EriC^^so use the .run file?23:58
AlericI want to use apt :/23:59
EriC^^Aleric: if apt said it will remove the i386 after my command, it probably means that the 2 versions conflict23:59
EriC^^(in apt's view anyways)23:59
Alericyeah, but that is not true.23:59
