My screen lock is failing to work lately because of that error which is popped up when it tries as well. [01:44] 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] I have tried it on both firefox and chromeum [01:46] bray90820: do you use ublock origin or adblock or noscript or privacy badger or any of the other "break the browser" extensions? [01:48] No adblock settings [01:48] sarnold: [01:48] Firefox did just play DRM content from Tidal [01:49] did that require installing something "funny" from tidal to make it work? or is that using standard w3c DRM? [01:50] Just stadared w3c I believe because all i did was play it straight from tidal without installing anything [01:53] sarnold: If you are wondering mixlr is an audio only site [02:01] sarnold: Any ideas? [02:01] bray90820: not really; if you run firefox from the command line do you get any error messages? [02:01] bray90820, press F12 and look at the console [02:01] it might say something [02:01] oh also a good one [02:04] No errors from the command line but the console gave me this [02:04] https://pastebin.com/raw/h0b9edu1 [02:09] bray90820, source maps dont matter [02:09] they are for developer [02:09] you can't debug it on live youtube site, as expected [02:10] Well then where do I go from here [02:11] bray90820: how about dmesg? /var/log/ logs?

[02:17] No firewall setup that I know of [02:17] pihole? [02:18] No idea what that is [02:18] `sudo ufw status` says inactive? [02:18] probably not then :) hehe -- pihole is a network-wide adblocker kind of thing [02:18] No adblocker installed [02:19] sudo ufw status is inactive [02:21] In the youtube settings I can't even change the quality of the video which is weird [02:21] So local video files don't play ether [02:21] bray90820, secure sites work? you can go to your bank site [02:22] Yes secure site works [02:22] nvm, youtube wouldnt load at all [02:22] Ugh, there it goes again, "Lock was blocked by an application" [02:22] Youtube.com loads but the videos don't play [02:23] Neather does local mp4 files [02:23] run chrome and open this url: chrome://gpu/ [02:23] When I lock the screen manually, it works. when it tries to do so itself, it fails. [02:24] bray90820, rasterization says what? [02:25] Psi-Jack: try using d-feet to look around for a dbus interface for inhibiting the screen lock [02:25] Psi-Jack: *maybe* it has a way to find out which application is still inhibiting the screen lock [02:26] But, this is with nothing even running... :/ [02:27] Psi-Jack, you must mean nothing apparently running. how did you verify that "nothing" is running? [02:27] doug16k: https://pastebin.com/raw/fawzG9sS [02:27] Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled [02:27] bray90820, looks fine [02:28] 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] X error received: serial 851, error_code 170 (GLXBadWindow), request_code 152, minor_code 32 (Unknown) [02:28] d-feet looks pretty useful though. :) [02:29] 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] Not when confirmed with ps. [02:29] Psi-Jack: hence my hope that there's an API to find out who still has that lock :) [02:29] 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] doug16k: would glxgears be a tolerable way to try to debug bray90820's GLXBadWindow error message? is that relevant? [02:30] Psi-Jack: aha, cool [02:30] With no solutions.... [02:31] sarnold, yes, the browser is probably using opengl to render the screen [02:32] the video overla [02:32] y [02:32] doug16k: sarnold It is not just a browser issue because local Mp4 files aren't playing [02:33] bray90820: does glxgears print anything? [02:34] What is glxgears [02:35] Oh sheash, I set the lock time to 2 minutes, and that just worked. :/ [02:35] it draws some gears on screen to test glx [02:35] Psi-Jack: oh sheesh :) thanks for reporting back [02:35] Psi-Jack: I *hate* things like that.. [02:36] 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] I think it's kinda hit/miss.. Or an actual bug that originated in Fedora and made its way into Ubuntu. [02:37] 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] sarnold: Yep. That' [02:38] That's still an issue, actually. :) [02:39] sarnold: 334 frames in 5.0 seconds = 66.759 FPS and the gears are spinning [02:41] bray90820: alright, cool; how about /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?

I was hoping to spot something there :/ [02:46] So now what? [02:47] 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] So I just tried VLC and that works but the default video player does not work [02:52] 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] RadSurfer: but that'd probably break with newlines or similar :( [02:53] RadSurfer, yes, use grep [02:54] I need to find specifically EF BB BF [02:54] sarnold: Yeah the terminal doesn't work ether [02:54] apparently it raises issues with geidt [02:54] gedit [02:55] hah, the silly BOM strikes again https://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html [02:55] well yes I can see why === zbenjamin is now known as Guest42735 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:56] what byte is before that?

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] ^Above, if I connect via ssh as alazy, I can write to the same directory. [15:35] alazy: Make sure the path /mnt/RemoteDisk is writable by your user locally [15:37] pragmaticenigma: Thanks, did that.

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] Hello I'm using `browse' to default open certain files [15:54] I'd like .txt files to open with emacs client. How can I do that? [15:55] alazy: The group that owns the mount point I am a member of, and the group has write permissions [15:56] alazy: actually... correction... the folder appears to be owned root:root ... write only available to user [15:56] Let me check one of my other share mounts... I realized that I only read from that folder, never write [15:59] alazy: Apologies... I appear to be in the same boat with you [15:59] Does anyone know how to set up emacs to open from `xdg-open' ? [16:00] I tried to put `export EDITOR="emacsclient"' in my .bashrc but it invokes emacs in a terminal [16:00] ah nevermind, I forgot to reload my .bashrc [16:01] still doesn't work, how does xdg-open look up the editor? [16:03] I don't believe xdg-open looks at that environment variable. It uses a definition file to match file types to handlers [16:03] you're right [16:03] 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.

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] removing ~/.svn but that didn't help. [16:03] It also didn't appear to be in the gnome keyring. [16:03] change what waltman [16:04] I'd like to change its cached password so I don't have to keep typing it. [16:04] You want the new pwd to be remembered by your machine? [16:04] Yes. [16:04] how do you use svn? whats your client [16:05] Just the plain vanilla command line client, version 1.9.7. [16:06] waltman: it says to delete ~/.subversion/auth online [16:06] and then `svn up' [16:06] pgragmaticenigma: Actually, I cannot write over cifs as normal user even to a folder with 777 permissions. [16:07] waltman: you also have a ~/.subversion/servers file where you can add your usernames and passwords if you have many servers [16:09] 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] alazy: correct, which is why i mentioned I was in the same boat as you... it's something I haven't solved [16:10] What is the `application .desktop file' ? [16:10] How can I run emacsclient like that? [16:10] But I'll give the servers file a try. Thanks. [16:10] I want to do something like `xdg-mime default ... text/x-tex' where ... somehow describes emacsclient [16:10] 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] waltman: order your files by last changed date? use find [16:12] 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] p0a: Tried that. [16:12] waltman: I think the servers file should do it [16:13] alazy: Thanks for the update... I will give that a try on my system when I have the chance [16:16] aaah did it. I used Nautilus to have the Open With option do it for me [16:16] and I edited /usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop [16:45] 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] I choose Ubuntu 19.10 in the boot menu after BIOS [17:08] Having a problem. I have disabled unattended upgrades and restarted, but I still cannot use apt or dpkg for anything [17:09] rapidwave, what errors do you get? post the update output on paste.ubuntu.com please [17:15] no answer, next! [17:17] 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] ash_worksi: connections as in ##networking? [17:18] lotuspsychje: already asked [17:18] but yeah, kind of [17:18] I feel like ##networking is more a hardware channel [17:19] not really, that would be ##hardware [17:19] where as I am referring specifically to how software connections are handled on nodes [17:19] well, people tend to ask topology questions and what-have-you [17:19] which isn't really like "what is a socket?" [17:20] with tcp packets, headers and routes [17:20] ##networking is your source [17:20] oerheks: see, that's kind of different though [17:21] or is it?... [17:21] Just try and if they throw you out you learned something today lol [17:22] can gparted be used to write an image to a SD card? [17:23] 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] ash_worksi: the best way to get started is a copy of w richard stevenson's TCP/IP Illustrated [17:24] ash_worksi: most of it's still pretty good despite its age; skip everything about t/tcp though [17:24] we might be able to help if it does not work [17:24] sarnold: thank you for the suggestion [17:24] t/tcp? [17:24] rabbitnightmare: not sure, but dd or ddrescue are probably better options? I know that doesn’t answer your question, sorry [17:26] ash_worksi: yes, t/tcp was something w richard stevenson was quite interested in but it never went anywhere [17:26] ash_worksi: but the rest of the book is fantastic :) [17:27] thank you I will give that a try [17:27] oh he left :( [17:29] rabbitnightmare: maybe if you shared whats your end goal, volunteers could help think along with you [17:30] rabbitnightmare: i think gnome disks can [17:30] trying to write a 128gb sd card image to a 128gb sd card for my raspberry pi [17:31] i'd just use dd [17:31] Windows fails every time I try [17:31] will do [17:31] I forgot about DD [17:56] rabbitnightmare, use 'conv=fdatasync status=progress' [17:57] And 'bs=1M [17:57] for speed [17:57] tyvm its just a raspberry pi image for video gaymz [17:58] && sunc [17:58] err && sync [18:53] laitly ive been having this issue where, windows and sometimes some areas of the same window that my curser is not hovering over will become blurry and fuzzy when my mouse it not hovering over it, then becomes cleat when i mouse over it [19:00] SpeedrunnerG55, hmm, a typical case of electronic demon possession, you need to wipe your mnouse with holy water and 3 rounds of hail mary's written in a notepad [19:03] om sorry what? xD [19:03] im*( [19:38] 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] forgotmynick: systemctl |grep php [19:40] leftyfb: not what i'm referring to [19:40] forgotmynick: though, I'm not sure what "php" service you're running [19:41] when pressing tab, it doesn't bring a list of services (auto completion) [19:41] forgotmynick: what service are you looking for exactly? [19:41] i'm not looking for a service [19:41] then why are you using the service utility? [19:43] leftyfb: you misunderstood my question but i've found the issue. needed to install bash-completion [19:44] forgotmynick: bash-completion should have been installed by default [19:50] im trying to make networking-routes service start at boot [19:50] apt install ifupdown-extra [19:51] added my static route to /etc/network/routes [19:51] if i start /etc/init.d/networking-routes start then i get my routes [19:51] but i want it to be automatic at boot [19:52] my eth interface is not set anywhwde it uses dhcp, and i would like to add a static route [19:52] spacedust: sudo update-rc.d enable networking-routes [19:52] how could i do this ? [19:52] systemctl enable networking-routes did nothing [19:52] leftyfb: ill try that [19:53] leftyfb: you mean update-rc.d networking-routes enable :) [19:53] lets see if that worked [19:54] yep, sorry, I'm all about systemd these days. They're opposite [19:55] leftyfb: how would i do it wirh systemd ? i dont beed ifupdown-extra if it can ve done otherwise [19:56]
