[00:05] <topcat001> have you tried restarting the browser?
[00:07] <joako> I got the Ubuntu 18.04 live disc to boot via PXE (network) the issue is I always have to install some package after I boot it. Also I would like to remove unused packages so the image can be smaller
[00:07] <joako> How can I customize the Ubuntu Live? All I can find is info about some discontinued Ubuntu Customization Kit
[00:08] <jmcguckin> Can't install - installer says "target dir /target was not empty"
[01:01] <multifractal> My computer forced itself into doing some windows updates. Midway through (I wasn't paying much attention) it reboots. I look over and it's saying `error no such partition. entering rescue mode... grub rescue>`

[01:09] <Psi-Jack> 11135:Mar 10 11:44:24 midgaard gnome-shell[2397]: error: Unable to lock: Lock was blocked by an application -- So, this is fun. My screen lock is failing to work lately because of that error which is popped up when it tries as well.
[01:44] <bray90820> I 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 load
[01:44] <bray90820> I have tried it on both firefox and chromeum
[01:46] <sarnold> bray90820: do you use ublock origin or adblock or noscript or privacy badger or any of the other "break the browser" extensions?
[01:48] <bray90820> No adblock settings
[01:48] <bray90820> sarnold:
[01:48] <bray90820> Firefox did just play DRM content from Tidal
[01:49] <sarnold> did that require installing something "funny" from tidal to make it work? or is that using standard w3c DRM?
[01:50] <bray90820> Just stadared w3c I believe because all i did was play it straight from tidal without installing anything
[01:53] <bray90820> sarnold: If you are wondering mixlr is an audio only site
[02:01] <bray90820> sarnold: Any ideas?
[02:01] <sarnold> bray90820: not really; if you run firefox from the command line do you get any error messages?
[02:01] <doug16k> bray90820, press F12 and look at the console
[02:01] <doug16k> it might say something
[02:01] <sarnold> oh also a good one
[02:04] <bray90820> No errors from the command line but the console gave me this
[02:04] <bray90820> https://pastebin.com/raw/h0b9edu1
[02:09] <doug16k> bray90820, source maps dont matter
[02:09] <doug16k> they are for developer
[02:09] <doug16k> you can't debug it on live youtube site, as expected
[02:10] <bray90820> Well then where do I go from here
[02:11] <sarnold> bray90820: how about dmesg? /var/log/ logs?
[02:11] <doug16k> bray90820, try turning off hardware acceleration (or turn it on if it was off) in the browser settings
[02:16] <doug16k> bray90820, you could try running it like this: firefox --safe-mode
[02:16] <bray90820> It's not just a firefox issue tho because chromeium doesn't work ether
[02:17] <doug16k> fancy firewall setup?
[02:17] <bray90820> No firewall setup that I know of
[02:17] <sarnold> pihole?
[02:18] <bray90820> No idea what that is
[02:18] <doug16k> `sudo ufw status` says inactive?
[02:18] <sarnold> probably not then :) hehe -- pihole is a network-wide adblocker kind of thing
[02:18] <bray90820> No adblocker installed
[02:19] <bray90820> sudo ufw status is inactive
[02:21] <bray90820> In the youtube settings I can't even change the quality of the video which is weird
[02:21] <bray90820> So local video files don't play ether
[02:21] <doug16k> bray90820, secure sites work? you can go to your bank site
[02:22] <bray90820> Yes secure site works
[02:22] <doug16k> nvm, youtube wouldnt load at all
[02:22] <Psi-Jack> Ugh, there it goes again, "Lock was blocked by an application"
[02:22] <bray90820> Youtube.com loads but the videos don't play
[02:23] <bray90820> Neather does local mp4 files
[02:23] <doug16k> run chrome and open this url: chrome://gpu/
[02:23] <Psi-Jack> When I lock the screen manually, it works. when it tries to do so itself, it fails.
[02:24] <doug16k> bray90820, rasterization says what?
[02:25] <sarnold> Psi-Jack: try using d-feet to look around for a dbus interface for inhibiting the screen lock
[02:25] <sarnold> Psi-Jack: *maybe* it has a way to find out which application is still inhibiting the screen lock
[02:26] <Psi-Jack> But, this is with nothing even running... :/
[02:27] <doug16k> Psi-Jack, you must mean nothing apparently running. how did you verify that "nothing" is running?
[02:27] <bray90820> doug16k: https://pastebin.com/raw/fawzG9sS
[02:27] <bray90820> Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
[02:27] <doug16k> bray90820, looks fine
[02:28] <Psi-Jack> I 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] <sarnold> X error received: serial 851, error_code 170 (GLXBadWindow), request_code 152, minor_code 32 (Unknown)
[02:28] <Psi-Jack> d-feet looks pretty useful though. :)
[02:29] <sarnold> Psi-Jack: my wild guess at this point is that an application is misbehaving -- eg the process is still running but its window is gone
[02:29] <Psi-Jack> Not when confirmed with ps.
[02:29] <sarnold> Psi-Jack: hence my hope that there's an API to find out who still has that lock :)
[02:29] <Psi-Jack> Don't think of me as a newbie. Apparently this problem has been reported many many times over, according to google search results. :)
[02:30] <sarnold> doug16k: would glxgears be a tolerable way to try to debug bray90820's GLXBadWindow error message? is that relevant?
[02:30] <sarnold> Psi-Jack: aha, cool
[02:30] <Psi-Jack> With no solutions....
[02:31] <doug16k> sarnold, yes, the browser is probably using opengl to render the screen
[02:32] <doug16k> the video overla
[02:32] <doug16k> y
[02:32] <bray90820> doug16k: sarnold It is not just a browser issue because local Mp4 files aren't playing
[02:33] <sarnold> bray90820: does glxgears print anything?
[02:34] <bray90820> What is glxgears
[02:35] <Psi-Jack> Oh sheash, I set the lock time to 2 minutes, and that just worked. :/
[02:35] <sarnold> it draws some gears on screen to test glx
[02:35] <sarnold> Psi-Jack: oh sheesh :) thanks for reporting back
[02:35] <sarnold> Psi-Jack: I *hate* things like that..
[02:36] <Psi-Jack> Well, 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-Jack> I think it's kinda hit/miss.. Or an actual bug that originated in Fedora and made its way into Ubuntu.
[02:37] <sarnold> Psi-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-Jack> sarnold: Yep. That'
[02:38] <Psi-Jack> That's still an issue, actually. :)
[02:39] <bray90820> sarnold: 334 frames in 5.0 seconds = 66.759 FPS and the gears are spinning
[02:41] <sarnold> bray90820: alright, cool; how about /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[02:42] <bray90820> It's huge but here it is

[02:42] <bray90820> sarnold:
[02:43] <RadSurfer> anyone know if you can scan a file for a specific hex-sequence, in linux?
[02:44] <sarnold> bray90820: dang. I was hoping to spot something there :/
[02:46] <bray90820> So now what?
[02:47] <sarnold> bray90820: I think try playing videos with mpv or mplayer or ffmpeg from the command line and see if any of *them* emit useful error messages
[02:48] <bray90820> So I just tried VLC and that works but the default video player does not work
[02:52] <sarnold> RadSurfer: nothing *easy* ; I was just able to search for eg an ascii NUL using: echo -ne '\x00' > /tmp/pattern ; grep -ra -f /tmp/pattern /usr/lib/
[02:52] <sarnold> RadSurfer: but that'd probably break with newlines or similar :(
[02:53] <doug16k> RadSurfer, yes, use grep
[02:54] <RadSurfer> I need to find specifically EF BB BF
[02:54] <bray90820> sarnold: Yeah the terminal doesn't work ether
[02:54] <RadSurfer> apparently it raises issues with geidt
[02:54] <RadSurfer> gedit
[02:55] <sarnold> hah, the silly BOM strikes again https://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html
[02:55] <doug16k> well yes I can see why
[02:56] <doug16k> what byte is before that?
[02:56] <bray90820> sarnold: No error messages so where do I go from here
[02:57] <doug16k> gedit breaks if the file begins with that?
[02:58] <sarnold> bray90820: no idea
[02:58] <sarnold> bray90820: did this work before some recent thing?
[02:58] <sarnold> bray90820: did it never work?
[02:59] <bray90820> As far as I know it never worked but I didn't really try 7 months
[02:59] <doug16k> oh lol in gedit the bom is invisibly there and you can insert characters before it
[02:59] <sarnold> RadSurfer: this works: echo -en '\xEF\xBB\xBF' > /tmp/pattern ; rg --file /tmp/pattern  -- I found some hilarious stuff in my home directory this way :)
[03:02] <linuxgecko> greetings. i have gotten myself into a pickle. how hard is it to get the ubuntu installed to select an LV in a file, inside a lv?
[03:17] <doug16k> http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#bom5 <-- it is doing it right
[03:24] <RadSurfer> it does not tell me how to DELETE REMOVE it
[03:25] <RadSurfer> iconv did not seem to help
[03:40] <RadSurfer> Can someone help with this please,  " bout.bas: text/x-c; charset=us-ascii ",
[03:40] <RadSurfer> what deoes the text/x-c  mean?
[03:40] <leftyfb> RadSurfer: you want ##linux or maybe #bash
[04:09] <eldowan> I'm running unbound on pfsense to provide an alias for a DNS entry to a local ip address. this ubuntu laptop only resolves the local ip if I overwrite resolv.conf. if I use the default DHCP provided, it resolves the public IP address. Other ubuntu machines work correctly. how can I troubleshoot this?

[05:04] <Ahmed4119> hi
[05:18] <phinxy> (ubuntu 19) in KiCAD when a popup dialog is dragged by its top bar the entire program moves with it
[05:18] <phinxy> Is this ubuntu, gnome or kicad doing something wrong?
[05:21] <kevr> Anybody have a nice example of running xmodmap for a specific user/display on ADD action of a udev rule? Googling this comes up with many, many different "examples" walking across many years of Linux
[05:21] <kevr> I'm trying to find an example meant for a _recent_ version of linux, like ubuntu 19.10 (that im currently on)
[05:22] <kevr> My user is `kevr`, my DISPLAY is at :1
[05:23] <kevr> heh, nevermind, i was using the wrong $DISPLAY the whole time. derp. -_-
[05:23] <ducasse> phinxy: i'm guessing your program is not interacting with the windoww manager properly. see if they have a forum or irc channel, and ask there if others are experiencing the same thing
[06:53] <proneon267> what is the package name of the app "users and groups" ?
[07:01] <dmo139> Do you mean "gnome-system-tools"
[07:02] <proneon267> dmo139 but that doesn't show up on my repo list
[07:08] <dmo139> It's in the universe repo
[07:11] <proneon267> dmo139 thanks
[08:28] <Rumen> Hello
[08:29] <Rumen> anyone can help with broken package installation?
[08:29] <Rumen> dependancies issue
[08:29] <Rumen> with MySQL8
[08:36] <Rumen> This is the issue https://imagebin.ca/v/5FLDb3MQQXd7
[08:37] <Rumen> at the same time I have working MySQL8
[08:39] <Rumen> https://imagebin.ca/v/5FLERVQLCiFB
[08:39] <EriC^> Rumen: try 'sudo apt-get -f install | nc termbin.com 9999'
[08:41] <Rumen> Thanks EriC^ here you are https://termbin.com/kzlm
[08:42] <Rumen> Eric^ please check the 2 images I sent above
[08:42] <EriC^> Rumen: type    dpkg -l | grep -Ev "^rc|^ii" | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:44] <Rumen> OK here you are https://termbin.com/ifpv
[08:44] <EriC^> Rumen: seems it's unpacked but not installed
[08:44] <Rumen> Yes exactly
[08:45] <Rumen> And I don't need it but I can't remove it due to dependancies error
[08:45] <Rumen> Because I already have working MySQL server ver.8
[08:46] <EriC^> Rumen: hmm, are you sure nothing you have depends on it?
[08:46] <EriC^> Rumen: you could run, sudo dpkg -P --force-all mysql-cluster-community-client
[08:47] <EriC^> that should forcefully remove it even if there are errors
[08:47] <EriC^> i think you'll also need to run sudo dpkg -P --force-all mysql-client
[08:51] <Rumen> same error https://imagebin.ca/v/5FLHwUtpGKB3
[08:51] <EriC^> seems dbconfig-mysql needs it
[08:52] <EriC^> do you need 'mysql-cluster-community-server' and dbconfig-mysql?
[08:53] <Rumen> I just want to have apache + mysql + phpmyadmin to work on some web projects on my localchost
[08:53] <EriC^> Rumen: did you add any ppa's?
[08:54] <Rumen> it is possible but how to check?
[08:56] <Rumen> when I installed and configured apache + mysql + phpmyadmin I followed someinstructions I may put some PPA's I don't remember
[08:58] <ducasse> Rumen: do you have a link to the instructions you followed?
[08:59] <EriC^> Rumen: type "tail -v -n+1 /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999"
[09:01] <Rumen> https://termbin.com/7uizx
[09:03] <Rumen> ducasse no it was long time ago
[09:03] <EriC^> Rumen: it looks like there is a ppa for mysql, currently not active though
[09:04] <ducasse> it might still have packages installed
[09:04] <EriC^> Rumen: do you have stuff you need currently for mysql or can you afford to remove it all and reinstall mysql from ubuntu repos
[09:04] <ducasse> with this many third party repos it's hard to support
[09:05] <EriC^> ducasse: this many? it's barely over 30
[09:05] <EriC^> xD
[09:05] <Rumen> I can remove all and reinstall
[09:06] <EriC^> Rumen: ok, type "dpkg -l | grep mysql | nc termbin.com 9999"
[09:06] <EriC^> also dpkg -l | grep -Ev "^rc|^ii" | nc termbin.com 9999
[09:07] <Rumen> https://termbin.com/sgfu
[09:08] <Rumen> https://termbin.com/98vr
[09:08] <EriC^> Rumen: also this ppa is related to wheezy not ubuntu, i'd recommend purging it after we're done if you dont need it deb http://shop.softmaker.com/repo/apt wheezy non-free
[09:08] <Rumen> I don't need that

[09:16] <EriC^> Rumen: yes
[09:16] <EriC^> that command should do it, else we will loop over them using dpkg -P --force-all

[10:04] <Zilenc3> What are a few options to trigger GRUB to load from the 2nd option instead of defaulting to the first, temporarily? ie. Ubuntu is #1, Win #2. I'm away from my computer and want to boot into windows every now and then, but have no physical access to it.
[10:05] <Zilenc3> I can remotely access via teamviewer though.
[10:06] <mgedmin> Zilenc3: grub-reboot 2
[10:07] <mgedmin> but I'm not sure about the 2
[10:08] <mgedmin> maybe better use the textual title
[10:08] <mgedmin> see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/eoan/en/man8/grub-reboot.8.html
[10:08] <Zilenc3> Gives me an idea at the very least, thanks

[12:22] <oerheks> known issue: that sane scanner, 220, is not supported standard, this ppa might be your fix too.. ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git
[12:22] <pragmaticenigma> mfoolb: When it worked before, was this on the same intall of Ubuntu? What has changed since you last had it working? System upgrades, hardware changes?
[12:23] <pragmaticenigma> oerheks: It's listed as "complete" on the sane development pages. Where are you finding that information?
[12:23] <oerheks> "it worked before" and "i had only those errors" does not match..
[12:24] <mfoolb> guys I'm really sorry..
[12:24] <mfoolb> I've just tried changing ports.. and now it works..
[12:24] <oerheks> i have that 220 too..
[12:24] <mfoolb> it was connected to the same port it has been for months
[12:24] <mfoolb> no update nothing changed
[12:24] <mfoolb> I have previously disconnected and reconnected while testing but used the same port
[12:25] <mfoolb> different port and now it's working ?!
[12:25] <mfoolb> sorry about that
[12:25] <oerheks> uh??
[12:26] <mfoolb> oerheks: uh?? in what sense
[12:27] <oerheks> i was struggling from 16.04 and up ..
[12:27] <mfoolb> I'm using 18.03
[12:28] <mfoolb> 220 was supported when I bought it..
[12:28] <mfoolb> only problem is higher dpi
[12:30] <mfoolb> anyway thanks .. bye
[15:31] <alazy> There is a samba/cifs share called 2TBhdd. 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?
[15:34] <alazy> ^Above, if I connect via ssh as alazy, I can write to the same directory.
[15:35] <pragmaticenigma> alazy: Make sure the path /mnt/RemoteDisk is writable by your user locally
[15:37] <alazy> pragmaticenigma: 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.
[15:39] <leftyfb> alazy: what filesystem is the cifs share locally?
[15:39] <alazy> leftyfb: ext4
[15:43] <alazy> with --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=********
[15:46] <alazy> However, I can create and edit over cifs as root (sudo) user.
[15:50] <pragmaticenigma> alazy: 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 filesystem
[15:54] <alazy> pragmaticenigma: 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] <p0a> Hello I'm using `browse' to default open certain files
[15:54] <p0a> I'd like .txt files to open with emacs client. How can I do that?
[15:55] <pragmaticenigma> alazy: The group that owns the mount point I am a member of, and the group has write permissions
[15:56] <pragmaticenigma> alazy: actually... correction... the folder appears to be owned root:root ... write only available to user
[15:56] <pragmaticenigma> Let me check one of my other share mounts... I realized that I only read from that folder, never write
[15:59] <pragmaticenigma> alazy: Apologies... I appear to be in the same boat with you
[15:59] <p0a> Does anyone know how to set up emacs to open from `xdg-open' ?
[16:00] <p0a> I tried to put `export EDITOR="emacsclient"' in my .bashrc but it invokes emacs in a terminal
[16:00] <p0a> ah nevermind, I forgot to reload my .bashrc
[16:01] <p0a> still doesn't work, how does xdg-open look up the editor?
[16:03] <pragmaticenigma> I don't believe xdg-open looks at that environment variable. It uses a definition file to match file types to handlers
[16:03] <p0a> you're right
[16:03] <waltman> I'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 tried
[16:03] <waltman> removing ~/.svn but that didn't help.
[16:03] <waltman> It also didn't appear to be in the gnome keyring.
[16:03] <p0a> change what waltman
[16:04] <waltman> I'd like to change its cached password so I don't have to keep typing it.
[16:04] <p0a> You want the new pwd to be remembered by your machine?
[16:04] <waltman> Yes.
[16:04] <p0a> how do you use svn? whats your client
[16:05] <waltman> Just the plain vanilla command line client, version 1.9.7.
[16:06] <p0a> waltman: it says to delete ~/.subversion/auth online
[16:06] <p0a> and then `svn up'
[16:06] <alazy> pgragmaticenigma: Actually, I cannot write over cifs as normal user even to a folder with 777 permissions.
[16:07] <p0a> waltman: you also have a ~/.subversion/servers file where you can add your usernames and passwords if you have many servers
[16:09] <waltman> I'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] <pragmaticenigma> alazy: correct, which is why i mentioned I was in the same boat as you... it's something I haven't solved
[16:10] <p0a> What is the `application .desktop file' ?
[16:10] <p0a> How can I run emacsclient like that?
[16:10] <waltman> But I'll give the servers file a try. Thanks.
[16:10] <p0a> I want to do something like `xdg-mime default ... text/x-tex' where ... somehow describes emacsclient
[16:10] <waltman> It's entirely possible it's popping up something on my workstation that I can't see. I had that happen with ssh before.
[16:11] <p0a> waltman: order your files by last changed date? use find
[16:12] <alazy> pragmaticenigma: I think I fixed it by providing username=alazy,gid=alazy,uid=alazy instead of providing the numeric gid,uid. Thanks anyway.
[16:12] <waltman> p0a: Tried that.
[16:12] <p0a> waltman: I think the servers file should do it
[16:13] <pragmaticenigma> alazy: Thanks for the update... I will give that a try on my system when I have the chance
[16:16] <p0a> aaah did it. I used Nautilus to have the Open With option do it for me
[16:16] <p0a> and I edited /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop
[16:45] <Sbur3> Three 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?
[16:46] <Sbur3> I choose Ubuntu 19.10 in the boot menu after BIOS
[17:08] <rapidwave> Having a problem. I have disabled unattended upgrades and restarted, but I still cannot use apt or dpkg for anything
[17:09] <oerheks> rapidwave, what errors do you get? post the update output on paste.ubuntu.com please
[17:15] <oerheks> no answer, next!
[17:17] <ash_worksi> hi 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?
[17:18] <lotuspsychje> ash_worksi: connections as in ##networking?
[17:18] <ash_worksi> lotuspsychje: already asked
[17:18] <ash_worksi> but yeah, kind of
[17:18] <ash_worksi> I feel like ##networking is more a hardware channel
[17:19] <lotuspsychje> not really, that would be ##hardware
[17:19] <ash_worksi> where as I am referring specifically to how software connections are handled on nodes
[17:19] <ash_worksi> well, people tend to ask topology questions and what-have-you
[17:19] <ash_worksi> which isn't really like "what is a socket?"
[17:20] <oerheks> with tcp packets, headers and routes
[17:20] <oerheks> ##networking is your source
[17:20] <ash_worksi> oerheks: see, that's kind of different though
[17:21] <ash_worksi> or is it?...
[17:21] <gnomadik> Just try and if they throw you out you learned something today lol
[17:22] <rabbitnightmare> can gparted be used to write an image to a SD card?
[17:23] <ash_worksi> I 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 that
[17:24] <sarnold> ash_worksi: the best way to get started is a copy of w richard stevenson's TCP/IP Illustrated
[17:24] <sarnold> ash_worksi: most of it's still pretty good despite its age; skip everything about t/tcp though
[17:24] <oerheks> we might be able to help if it does not work
[17:24] <ash_worksi> sarnold: thank you for the suggestion
[17:24] <ash_worksi> t/tcp?
[17:24] <gnomadik> rabbitnightmare: not sure, but dd or ddrescue are probably better options? I know that doesn’t answer your question, sorry
[17:26] <sarnold> ash_worksi: yes, t/tcp was something w richard stevenson was quite interested in but it never went anywhere
[17:26] <sarnold> ash_worksi: but the rest of the book is fantastic :)
[17:27] <rabbitnightmare> thank you I will give that a try
[17:27] <rabbitnightmare> oh he left :(
[17:29] <lotuspsychje> rabbitnightmare: maybe if you shared whats your end goal, volunteers could help think along with you

[19:38] <forgotmynick> hello. on 16.04 when i type `service php` followed by tab, I see a list of relevant services, however, when doing this in 18.04, nothing comes up. is there something i need to do to enable this?
[19:40] <leftyfb> forgotmynick: systemctl |grep php
[19:40] <forgotmynick> leftyfb: not what i'm referring to
[19:40] <leftyfb> forgotmynick: though, I'm not sure what "php" service you're running
[19:41] <forgotmynick> when pressing tab, it doesn't bring a list of services (auto completion)
[19:41] <leftyfb> forgotmynick: what service are you looking for exactly?
[19:41] <forgotmynick> i'm not looking for a service
[19:41] <leftyfb> then why are you using the service utility?
[19:43] <forgotmynick> leftyfb: you misunderstood my question but i've found the issue. needed to install bash-completion
[19:44] <leftyfb> forgotmynick: bash-completion should have been installed by default
[19:50] <spacedust> im trying to make networking-routes service start at boot
[19:50] <spacedust> apt install ifupdown-extra
[19:51] <spacedust> added my static route to /etc/network/routes
[19:51] <spacedust> if i start /etc/init.d/networking-routes start then i get my routes

[19:52] <spacedust> my eth interface is not set anywhwde it uses dhcp, and i would like to add a static route
[19:52] <leftyfb> spacedust: sudo update-rc.d enable networking-routes
[19:52] <spacedust> how could i do this ?
[19:52] <spacedust> systemctl enable networking-routes did nothing
[19:52] <spacedust> leftyfb: ill try that
[19:53] <spacedust> leftyfb: you mean update-rc.d networking-routes enable :)
[19:53] <spacedust> lets see if that worked
[19:54] <leftyfb> yep, sorry, I'm all about systemd these days. They're opposite
[19:55] <spacedust> leftyfb: how would i do it wirh systemd ? i dont beed ifupdown-extra if it can ve done otherwise
[19:56] <spacedust> ans i need to find another way cause this doesnt start at boot

[20:11] <oerheks> first update properly
[20:11] <oerheks> apt install -f // apt dist-upgrade
[20:17] <sarnold> /bin/sh: 1: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: not found
[20:17] <sarnold> oof.
[20:18] <TJ-> who misplaced debconf!?
[20:22] <ioria> looks like a borked perl
[20:31] <funabashi> apt install -f
[20:31] <funabashi> not worked propperly
[20:32] <oerheks> that should fix not full installed packages, what is the output if you try?
[20:38] <TJ-> funabashi: what does "which dpkg-preconfigure" report?
[20:39] <TJ-> funabashi: also "dpkg -S /usr/bin/perl"
[20:51] <funabashi> /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure
[20:51] <funabashi> TJ-: perl-base: /usr/bin/perl
[20:52] <smalltalk> hey 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"
[20:53] <funabashi> TJ-: gives no output
[20:53] <TJ-> funabashi: aha!
[20:53] <TJ-> funabashi: you're lost the file.
[20:54] <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 replace
[20:54] <funabashi> ??5??????   /usr/bin/perl
[20:55] <TJ-> funabashi: right, so problem
[20:55] <TJ-> funabashi: now try: "find /var/cache/apt/archives -name 'perl-base*' "
[20:56] <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 it
[21:00] <funabashi> no output
[21:01] <TJ-> funabashi: OK, what does "apt list perl-base" report for the installed version number?
[21:03] <funabashi> perl-base/xenial-security,xenial-updates,now 5.22.1-9ubuntu0.6 amd64 [installed]
[21:03] <funabashi> N: There is 1 additional version. Please use the '-a' switch to see it
[21:04] <TJ-> funabashi: hang on whilst I find it in the archives
[21:05] <funabashi> TJ-: thanks for helping
[21:06] <TJ-> funabashi: what's the architecture? "dpkg --print-architectures"
[21:06] <TJ-> oops typo
[21:06] <TJ-> funabashi:  "dpkg --print-architecture"
[21:10] <funabashi> amd64
[21:10] <aendruk> Dragging a tab in Firefox appears to instantly end my login session (screen blanks, displays Dell logo, Ubuntu login screen). Is that a known issue? Not sure where to begin troubleshooting; syslog just shows various things complaining that they can't talk to Wayland anymore.
[21:10] <TJ-> funabashi: so "sudo wget -P /var/cache/apt/archives http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/perl/perl-base_5.22.1-9ubuntu0.6_amd64.deb"
[21:11] <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 "
[21:18] <funabashi> TJ-: !!!!!!!!!!! thanks
[21:18] <funabashi> alot
[21:19] <TJ-> funabashi: now it is relatively sane you should check for any other damaged files so you know you can trust the system. "sudo dpkg --verify"
[21:23] <sarnold> TJ-: would an apt install -f be appropriate at this moment too?
[21:23] <TJ-> sarnold: indeed
[21:23] <TJ-> funabashi: ^^^^
[21:24] <TJ-> sarnold: want to ensure no more corrupted files first else who kknows what else might go bang
[21:25] <sarnold> TJ-: good thinking
[21:25] <funabashi> TJ-: sudo dpkg --verify what does that cmd do?
[21:26] <oerheks> noted
[21:26] <TJ-> funabashi: it checks the file hashes of all files from all installed packages and reports any that do not match - so would need fixing
[22:30] <r3muxd> is there something like chromium freeworld on ubuntu?
[22:33] <sarnold> what's that?
[22:33] <r3muxd> chromium with html5 codecs + vaapi
[22:34] <geri> hi, how can i install docker 19.03 on ubuntu 16.04?
[22:38] <oerheks> geri, not, upgrade to bionic https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker.io
[22:38] <geri> not?
[22:39] <bprompt> r3muxd:  hmm what's vaapi?
[22:42] <r3muxd> video acceleration
[22:43] <oerheks> some articles point to the chromium beta dev or ppa, https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev
[22:43] <oerheks> but i have seen bugreports too :-(
[23:02] <Aleric> Hello. How can I see what packages are installed that are from a given ppa?
[23:06] <EriC^^> Aleric: you can use this script https://github.com/ericj112/ppa-tool
[23:08] <oerheks> synaptic can do that, filter easily

[23:14] <rabbitnightmare> ok so I am trying to get HDCP content to work, it works in neither chrome nor firefox
[23:14] <rabbitnightmare> I enabled DRM in firefox and nothing came up in chrome
[23:15] <gorby> Yo, can some one help with a DHCP problem on 18.04 Server? After a reboot systemctl status dhclient reports that my wifi adapter has taken an address successfuly, but if I querey the adapter with ifconfig or ip theres no IP bound. If I re-run dhclient manually it fixes things. Any thoughts?
[23:16] <rabbitnightmare> enabling DRM in firefox does nothing and I dont see an option in chrome
[23:20] <sarnold> gorby: can you pastebin your netplan configs?
[23:20] <Aleric> I followed the instructions here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1804&target_type=debnetwork   but that added 'deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/ /' to my /etc/apt/sources.list instead of adding it to /etc/apt/sources.list.d hmmpf
[23:21] <gorby> Sarnold: Sure, which are they? :>
[23:21] <Aleric> Is there an 'official' way to add a repository like that to sources.list.d ?
[23:22] <sarnold> gorby: they're in /etc/netplan/ -- see https://netplan.io/ for a quick guide
[23:23] <rabbitnightmare> https://pastebin.com/2WtH2Fmk may I please get some help
[23:23] <rabbitnightmare> I have drm enabled
[23:23] <rabbitnightmare> still unable to watch online content
[23:24] <gorby> sarnold: https://pastebin.com/nxeG4d2d
[23:24] <sarnold> gorby: does ip link  confirm that your nic is named eth0 ?
[23:25] <gorby> sarnold : yes - although that comes up fine.
[23:26] <EriC^^> Aleric: you could do "echo 'sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia.list"
[23:28] <gorby> sarnold: Do I need to add my wifi adpater into 50-cloud-init.yaml (RTFM'ing https://netplan.io/ now) :)
[23:28] <sarnold> gorby: ah wifi, yeah, though probably using a different file is a good idea
[23:28] <Aleric> EriC^^: 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?
[23:29] <rabbitnightmare> when the hell did Ubuntu stop supporting apt?!?
[23:29] <rabbitnightmare> jesus age christ
[23:29] <oerheks> ...
[23:29] <oerheks> rabbitnightmare, keep the channel family friendly, thanks.
[23:30] <Aleric> (note that launchpad != nvidia)
[23:32] <Aleric> Hmm, 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-om> Aleric: 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] <rabbitnightmare> why did you move /usr/lib/Mozilla/plugins/
[23:32] <rabbitnightmare> roflmao wow
[23:32] <gorby> sarnold : 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] <rabbitnightmare> what a garbage distro
[23:32] <sarnold> rabbitnightmare: given that canonical employs one of the main apt developers...
[23:33] <rabbitnightmare> ubuntu is such hot garbage nothing works
[23:33] <Aleric> Bashing-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] <gorby> sarnold: It did feel a bit weird having to create a dhclient.service - i figured something must be starting it elsewhere.
[23:34] <Aleric> That is, ubuntu's stuff works ok - until you want to have both cuda and 32bit nvidia driver support at the same time.
[23:34] <sarnold> gorby: I think this is what I did to get my rpi 3b+ online https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/47sVt4gtyW/
[23:37] <gorby> sarnold - cool TY. So, it doesnt even use a config file for wpa supplicant anymore?
[23:37] <sarnold> gorby: I don't think I had to learn how to use that, anyway :)
[23:50] <Aleric> Anyone good with apt?
[23:51] <Aleric> I don't understand this: https://gyazo.com/154bf3576e0bbbde55260b9bf018c3f2
[23:52] <Aleric> It 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] <Aleric> However, the apt-cache policy line shows that 440.64.00-0ubuntu1 is the Candidate.
[23:53] <Aleric> So why does it say that the version from launch pad is to be installed?
[23:53] <gorby> sarnold: All working, cheers for the help :)
[23:53] <EriC^^> Aleric: what happens if you run sudo apt-get install libnvidia-gl-440
[23:53] <sarnold> gorby: sweet! what was left to do?
[23:54] <leftyfb> Aleric: purge the nvidia PPA you added and remove all packages installed from it. Then install the packages from ubuntu
[23:54] <Aleric> hmm - I wrote a pinning erata myself.. I should ask myself this question...
[23:54] <Aleric> lemme try
[23:54] <EriC^^> Aleric: do you really need both graphics-drivers ppa and nvidia ppa?
[23:55] <gorby> Change that file, remove the changes I did to dbus-fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service reboot, done.
[23:55] <Aleric> EriC^^: https://gyazo.com/875244a3ea989e7843799bdcddd44210
[23:55] <Aleric> I 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.
[23:56] <Aleric> The problem might be that your command want to remove stuff.
[23:56] <Aleric> (and that is exactly what I do not want)
[23:56] <Aleric> The following packages will be REMOVED:
[23:56] <Aleric>   libnvidia-gl-440:i386 libnvidia-ifr1-440:i386 nvidia-driver-440
[23:56] <gorby> One less thing to do tomorrow anyway :) Cheers.
[23:56] <sarnold> gorby: oh cool, nice. thanks :) I set that thing up months back and wondered what else I might have overlooked
[23:56] <Aleric> If I allow that, then steam stops working
[23:56] <sarnold> gorby: see ya,m have fun
[23:57] <Aleric> I think I need to fix the pinning info to prefer the launchpad for the 32bit repositories, maybe.
[23:58] <Aleric> Most 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?
[23:59] <Aleric> I 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 conflict
[23:59] <EriC^^> (in apt's view anyways)
[23:59] <Aleric> yeah, but that is not true.
