[00:05] <sixwheeledbeast> yes
[00:13] <foo> I'm beginning to think this is simply not possible. I'm baffled, I thought linux could at least read the time capsule partition
[00:15] <robertzaccour> Are PlayStation 4 and Xbox One controllers well supported on Ubuntu?
[00:20] <sixwheeledbeast> robertzaccour: yes certainly for steam at least
[00:22] <robertzaccour> Ok thanks
[00:33] <zippo^> Is it possible: :-), :-D, :-( etc. convert Emoji via the keyboard? So yes, how?
[01:14] <nutella_wood> Hi, I need some help SSHing to a remote ubuntu VM through Visual Studio Code. I'm using VSCode 1.44.0-insider with extension Remote-SSH (Nightly) on Windows 10. Is this the right channel for this question?
[01:15] <isposdef> zippo^: One option is to set up Xcompose: https://github.com/kragen/xcompose
[01:17] <nutella_wood> How would I use it?
[01:22] <zippo^> Thank you, isantop . I have bookmarked this url, tomorrow i will read how works it.
[01:23] <__Myst__> Are .deb files a good fit for managing source installs?
[01:44] <insanidade> hi all. is there a command for restarting a recently updated application? for instance: whhat if I have one or two chrome windows opened and update chrome? is there a command for restarting it ?
[01:48] <bet0x> Hello everyone, i have a server with a raid0, i formated the main disk where the OS is (outside the raid ofc) and i wanted to remount my raid but i'm getting mount: mount /dev/md0 on /root/test failed: Structure needs cleaning
[01:51] <bigfoot-> bet0x: if I understand you correctly, you have a raid0 ... this means, all participating disks form one logical disk.  so what exactly did you "format" (and how)?
[01:52] <bet0x> bigfoot-, i used ext4 raid 0
[01:53] <bet0x> do i just run a fsck on the /dev/md0 ?
[01:53] <matsaman> insanidade: like programmatically list all the currently-running apps that belong to recently-updated packages?
[01:53] <bet0x> bigfoot-, tune2fs -l /dev/md0 is reporting Filesystem state:         not clean
[01:53] <matsaman> I don't know how useful that'd be...
[01:54] <matsaman> you can just close chrome and open it again, in that particular case
[01:54] <bigfoot-> bet0x: I'm not into the Ubuntu specifics on how stuff usually gets set up.  But RAID0 means you bind >1 disks or partitions into one logical one.  If you format one disk/partition, the whole thing is corrupted ...
[01:54] <bigfoot-> bet0x: fsck is definitely the right answer, but I'm not sure it's going to help you if you did what I think you did
[01:56] <matsaman> raid0 is not a thing informed people use with data they don't have copies of
[01:57] <bigfoot-> true.  but that's beyond his issue.
[01:57] <matsaman> and, for that matter, raid-anything
[01:57] <bigfoot-> ... and, for that matter, anything that's important data
[01:58] <bigfoot-> but that's not the discussion bet0x wants to have right now, I surmise.
[01:58] <bet0x> i'm just helping a friend, i do have spares of spares with spares on the middle
[01:58] <bet0x> i'm a backup freak
[01:59] <bet0x> OwO
[01:59] <bet0x> it will take a while, thank you @bigfoot- !
[01:59] <bet0x> it's like 12 TB T_T
[02:34] <foo> I don't know if it's a thing, but I used to run badblocks /dev/sdc2 or such from ubuntu to determine if a drive had bad blocks. Is this still relevant?
[03:24] <jrg> hi. i just set up sssd and cannot login to the ui. does ubuntu use gdm or soemthing of that nature? so adding sss.so to the pam entry should do the trick?
[03:24] <jrg> i can ssh using AD users so that seems to work fine
[03:26] <asa9ohan> Does anyone know how to remove a RAID 0 configuration on the boot drive of a PC?
[03:28] <DigitalisAkujin> doing a fresh install
[03:28] <TripleNatMatt> i do not think that will be possible without removing the data from the drive
[03:28] <DigitalisAkujin> Grub2 giving me no suitable video mode found
[03:29] <DigitalisAkujin> is there something I need to change in the grub.cfg with video settings?
[03:30] <matsaman> I'm assuming turning off the graphics aspects would suffice, for starters
[03:32] <DigitalisAkujin> config is just set default =0 set timeout =10 menuentry “Gentoo” { linux (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-3.14.4-gentoo root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=ext4 net.ifnames=0 quiet ro }
[03:33] <DigitalisAkujin> nothing about video
[03:33] <DigitalisAkujin> nvidia card so maybe I need to install drivers?
[03:34] <matsaman> sounds like UEFI nonsense
[03:34] <DigitalisAkujin> yes
[03:35] <matsaman> flip your firmware to pretend it's BIOS? That would fix it
[03:35] <DigitalisAkujin> I just got this nvme m.2 and it’s not a recent mobo chipset so it’s seeing it as uefi through a custom bios for my mobo
[03:36] <DigitalisAkujin> would love to know what the has to do with video though but w/e
[03:36] <matsaman> I would if I was stuck with UEFI

[03:40] <DigitalisAkujin> it’s actually really cool, bios literally says “gentoo” in the boot options and not the drive name

[03:46] <jrg> i guess it's trying to login as an AD user in gdm but now i get that in the logs
[03:50] <jrg> ah. seems like sssd only helps with one part of things
[03:50] <jrg> the actual uid/gid mapping has to still be done with samba?
[03:50] <bryanroderyck> hello im having some issues with ubuntu 19 after putting the wifi password 30 times it will work..
[03:50] <jrg> you'd think by now joining an AD would be a little easier heh
[03:58] <matsaman> bryanroderyck: what?
[03:59] <matsaman> jrg: not sure why you'd think that
[03:59] <bryanroderyck> hi matsaman ,im having trouble connecting to wifi
[03:59] <jrg> matsaman: i don't know. kind of an old infrastructure
[03:59] <jrg> sssd makes the quick and easy of ssh
[04:00] <matsaman> jrg: I'm sure Microsoft is constantly moving the bar
[04:00] <jrg> but doesn't really do much for uid/gid mapping
[04:00] <jrg> matsaman: my DC is samba based heh
[04:00] <bryanroderyck> keep asking me for the same password
[04:00] <matsaman> bryanroderyck: what if you use nmtui?
[04:00] <jrg> matsaman: it almost seems easier to have done it the old way using samba/winbind/pam
[04:00] <jrg> than using sssd
[04:01] <matsaman> it's easiest to not do it at all
[04:01] <bryanroderyck> matsaman, what is nmtui?
[04:01] <jrg> ah well.. let me try out trueos it's been a while since i've checked in on it
[04:01] <matsaman> there are two softwares that are the most insidious, and they are exchange and active directory
[04:01] <matsaman> bryanroderyck: it's an executable, ask apt-file about it
[04:01] <jrg> matsaman: yes. i just tried out exchange earlier .. what a mess
[04:02] <jrg> matsaman: it almost seems better to use ubuntu + zimbra imo
[04:02] <jrg> as far as local collab suites go at least
[04:03] <matsaman> all the companies I've ever worked at, IT has spent roughly 5000% of their time dealing with something ultimately the fault of the choice to use exchange or active directory
[04:03] <matsaman> and I couldn't tell you why
[04:03] <matsaman> email is so simple
[04:03] <matsaman> you send an unencrypted message to an address
[04:03] <jrg> matsaman: well. AD is more so the auth than anything else
[04:03] <matsaman> authentication is also so simple
[04:03] <jrg> and integration into other aspects with a common auth
[04:04] <matsaman> which nobody needs
[04:04] <jrg> matsaman: tbh. AD in samba is simplistic imo
[04:04]  * matsaman shrugs
[04:04] <jrg> matsaman: it makes sense under certain circumstances. multiple workstations single account stuff
[04:04] <matsaman> it's a fine idea for a thing nobody actually needs
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> keep it ontopic please guys
[04:04] <jrg> i think that most people need it in any area with multiple workstations
[04:05] <jrg> lotuspsychje: ubuntu auth against AD isn't on topic? :)
[04:05] <lotuspsychje> jrg: please divide chatting vs focus on real support
[04:05] <jrg> oh. sorry. didn't know the channel was that strict. ok then.
[04:06] <lotuspsychje> we have a great #ubuntu-discuss channel you can chitchat 24/7 :p
[04:06] <jrg> heh. it's ok. thanks anyways. take care.
[04:14] <bryanroderyck> matsaman, can you help me ,i didnt suceed install nmtui?
[04:15] <DigitalisAkujin> what’s the difference between ffmpeg and libav for kde?
[04:18] <matsaman> DigitalisAkujin: ffmpeg has a future
[04:18] <DigitalisAkujin> lol
[04:18] <matsaman> libav was some child's temper tantrum fork of ffmpeg
[04:18] <matsaman> they even tried to steal the logo
[04:18] <DigitalisAkujin> wow that’s hilarious
[04:18] <matsaman> Debian switched to libav briefly as the default, but eventually switched back
[04:18] <DigitalisAkujin> I use ffmpeg on CLI all the time was just curious
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | matsaman DigitalisAkujin
[04:19] <matsaman> it's the natural way with free software, forks happen
[04:19] <matsaman> but if your fork isn't good enough, it dies
[04:19] <DigitalisAkujin> is there a use flag to install KDE without wireless BS. my desktop doesn’t even have wifi
[04:19] <matsaman> don't think Ubuntu does USE flags
[04:19] <DigitalisAkujin> oh shit wtf
[04:20] <DigitalisAkujin> i’m dumb sorry
[04:20] <matsaman> you could probably install individual packages that make up the greater KDE, and skip the wifi ones, potentially
[04:20] <DigitalisAkujin> meant to join #gentoo :/
[04:20] <matsaman> yes, yes you did =D
[05:19] <tefx> hey gyuys havign soem wieird issues creatign raid0 on uvbuntu-server installer when you create the partions manualy i create the md0 with both disks then i have a seperate disk for boot disk that has /boot and /boot/efi in but when i click done and start settign the servername and username passwords and stuff the installer cvrashes clearly while
[05:19] <tefx> makign the parition
[05:19] <tefx> and i can see any disernable error as to why its happening
[05:20] <tefx> i had this prblem before with an 18.04 install but i managed to figure otu a work around but yeahh i cant for the life of me remeber what i did
[05:23] <tefx> to be clear partition layout is as follows two 50gig disks as raido(md0) paritions on md0 are / and SWAP partitions on  the  the 3rd disk  ther is a 1G /boot and a 512M /boot/efi
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> bug #1867450 duped & confirmed
[07:44] <monojamoon|> I can't find any straight answers to this one the internet but does RST Premium Optane Mode provide any performance benefits over ACHI mode?
[07:45] <monojamoon|> *AHCI
[07:46] <ducasse> monojamoon|: afaik linux does not support rst
[07:46] <monojamoon|> Bought an M.2 NMVE SSD to construct a Windows 10 + Ubuntu dual boot setup. Searched around and found out that AHCI mode needs to be enabled in BIOS.
[07:46] <monojamoon|> ducasse, yeah!
[07:49] <monojamoon|> Also, the machine I am using has an integrated Intel GFX and a dedicated GFX (rtx 2060) ... out of curiosity ... if i leave out the drivers for the nvidia one, that would just remain idle in the background right ...
[07:51] <ducasse> in the bios you should be able to select dedicated gpu or igp
[07:52] <monojamoon|> ok
[07:53] <monojamoon|> ducasse, wouldn't that cause an issue with the device on Windows Installation? Keep Windows 10 on my PC just to play video games :P
[07:54] <ducasse> not sure, i have neither windows nor a dedicated gpu :)
[07:56] <monojamoon|> Cool :)
[07:58] <monojamoon|> Is disabling secure boot necessary with Ubuntu 18.04?
[07:59] <monojamoon|> there are talks about a bug with Ubuntu 14.04 that deletes the Windows bootloader. Surely that would've been fixed in 18.04

[09:00] <mr_lou> Hello. My QNAP NAS allows for a WebDAV connection. Connecting to it from Windows requires me to edit the registration database and change BasicAuth value to "2". Otherwise it won't work. How can I do something similar in Ubuntu?
[09:19] <monojamoon|> I have 16GB of RAM. Should I have some swap space?
[09:19] <monojamoon|> And if yes, should I reserve 16 * 1024 MB for swap area?
[09:20] <monojamoon|> Or something more?
[09:20] <tomreyn> will you suspend to disk (hibernate)?
[09:20] <monojamoon|> Nope
[09:20] <tomreyn> then you only need a little swap or none at all.
[09:20] <monojamoon|> Should 2GB be fine?
[09:21] <tomreyn> 300 MB is probably sufficient
[09:21] <monojamoon|> Oh! Cool.
[09:21] <monojamoon|> Thanks :)
[09:22] <tomreyn> you're welcome. also, there are a lot of articles discussing this topic out there.
[09:23] <tomreyn> if you'll read those, prefer the more current ones since VM and swap handling does change over time / on higher kernel versions
[09:27] <monojamoon|> Understood
[09:29] <monojamoon|> After installation completed ... I am getting a stream of nouveau errors

[09:31] <monojamoon|> Should I stop it?
[09:31] <tomreyn> monojamoon|: stop what?
[09:32] <monojamoon|> its a continuous stream of errors!
[09:32] <monojamoon|> ctrl + c stopped it
[09:33] <monojamoon|> rebooted and then I am into ubuntu
[09:33] <tomreyn> ctrl-c wont stop errors
[09:33] <tomreyn> well unless the process you had runnign triggered them
[09:34] <tomreyn> but nouveau is a kernel module, you could not stop it with ctrl-c

[09:42] <tomreyn> so: Predator PH315-52/Covini_CFS, BIOS V1.04 06/19/2019
[09:42] <monojamoon|> Yup
[09:42] <tomreyn> this bios version looks old
[09:42] <monojamoon|> ok
[09:42] <monojamoon|> Will update the BIOS.
[09:43] <monojamoon|> I also have two gfx. Integrated intel gfx and a rtx 2060. How can I check if drivers for the 2060 are properly installed?
[09:43] <tomreyn> BIOS version 1.10 (2020/03/10) is current according to https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/7983?b=1
[09:44] <monojamoon|> OK. That seems easy enough to install and update
[09:45] <monojamoon|> Wow. An update that was 5 days old :)
[09:45] <tomreyn> with nvidia, you can choose between open source drivers which may not work well, especially with newer hardware, because nvidia doesn't support their development and does not release relevant documentation.
[09:45] <monojamoon|> Can I disable them?
[09:45] <monojamoon|> I don't need nvidia on my ubuntu setup.
[09:46] <tomreyn> the other choice is nvidias' proprietary drivers. which provide good performance once you get them to work. but they don't integrate with the kernel so well.
[09:46] <monojamoon|> Oh!
[09:47] <tomreyn> you can either physically uninstall or disable the nvidia card on your bios setup screen (but then it'd apply to all OSs), or you can assign the nvidia GPU pci device to the vfio kernel module, thus preventing linux from using iut.
[09:49] <monojamoon|> @tomreyn, this is what my syslog is being filled with currently. https://pastebin.com/XGsQUh1B
[09:49] <monojamoon|> Continuously
[09:50] <monojamoon|> That is the output of tail -f /var/log/syslog
[09:50] <tomreyn> and that's what my "open source drivers which may not work well, especially with newer hardware, because nvidia doesn't support their development and does not release relevant documentation" statement referred to
[09:50] <tomreyn> nouveau is the open source driver
[09:50] <monojamoon|> Oh!
[09:51] <monojamoon|> This is what happened when the installation finished
[09:52] <monojamoon|> I think I will go with assigning the nvidia GPU pci device to the vfio kernel module
[09:52] <monojamoon|> because I need the GFX for Windows
[09:53] <tomreyn> here's another approach for disabling a discrete gpu (such as your nvidia one) - which may be better than the vfio one i suggested: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/78is1r/complete_disable_of_discrete_gpu/

[11:39] <Kimtishi> Heya guys I'm wondering if it is possible instead of checking/recalculating and recreating a txt file to just update an old txt file (with previous hashes stored) and add the newly added files that got no hash?
[11:42] <tomreyn> Kimtishi: this doesn't seem like a ubuntu support question at first sight. how doesw it relate to installing and using ubuntu, what'S the context in general?
[11:47] <Kimtishi> tomreyn, I'm using ubuntu for the first time so I thought I should ask it here :P  I've basically got a couple of folders that I update with new files every now and then. In order to keep my sanity I keep hashes of them so I can verify them in the future. The thing is every time I add X files I do this all over again
[12:01] <ducasse> Kimtishi: what you're asking is probably best done in a scripting language. you could also store the hashes in individual files next to the text files, and name them like filename.hash or something?
[12:05] <zeedee> i broke my apt. been manually installing dependencies. is there a better way? apt -fix-broken install it says to type Yes, do as I say! but thats what broke it the first time. running xenial
[12:27] <Popzi> Hey guys, question - I have a 2 users (popzi & dave) belonging to group "wab-group" that have a directory called "wab-folder" which is owned by root:root. All the contents within "wab-folder" are owned by dave:wab-group. Both popzi dave can edit these files. However when popzi edits any files, the changes are saved, but an error pops up saying it f
[12:27] <Popzi> ailed (when it didnt) due to popzi not being able to update the files metadata because it is owned by dave.
[12:27] <Popzi> How do I make it so the files are owned by wab-group:wab-group and can be edited (including metadata) by any member of wab-group?
[12:29] <lotuspsychje> zeedee: can you pastebin whats going on please?

[12:51] <faekjarz> Hi! I want to permanently set the nvidia setting "AllowFlipping" to 0/off/false. I've tried to configure it in xorg.conf, as well as ~/.nvidia-settings-rc. My intention was ignored during reboot. So, how am i supposed to configure this?
[12:52] <Kostas79> Can anyone help/advise? Trying to install Ubuntu 18.04.4 on a brand new Acer Swift 8 (2019) with no luck. Details of what I tried (incl. screenshots) here: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/591400/cant-install-ubuntu-18-04-on-swift-5-2019
[12:53] <Kostas79> Swift 5 that is!
[12:54] <ioria> Kostas79, might this help ? https://www.infofuge.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-acer-swift-5-from-usb/
[12:56] <Kostas79> ioria: thanks, but none of this works! The installation starts but freezes when about to select a partition. The boot of try Ubuntu also gives errors as outlined in the screenshot.
[12:56] <Kostas79> The link also refers to an older model of Swift 5.
[12:57] <ioria> Kostas79, if Acer, then most probably the problem is the uefi settings/configuration
[12:58] <ioria> Kostas79, i assume the  usb media has been correctly written
[13:01] <zeedee> lotuspsychje: appreciate the help but have to get on with my day. i'll be around but may be slow to respond. thx again
[13:02] <lotuspsychje> zeedee: ddi you try apt-get -f install ?
[13:06] <Kostas79> ioria: yes, boot mode is UEFI and secure boot is disable, the media is correct (checked with disk check in grub). Problem persists.
[13:06] <zeedee> lotuspsychje: just tried again. i was getting the yes, do as i say but now it seems to have worked. apt-get upgrade installed some stuff too
[13:07] <zeedee> lotuspsychje: this is the only error i see know but i can probably google it W: Problem unlinking the file auxfiles - Clean (21: Is a directory)
[13:08] <zeedee> dkpg --configure -a returned with no error.....fianlly
[13:10] <kubast2> hey is using fsck.ext4 -fn on a live rootfs is safe?
[13:10] <kubast2> "-fn" shouldn't try to "repair/do any write" right?
[13:12] <ioria> Kostas79, have you set a supervisor password ?
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> zeedee: nice!
[13:13] <Kostas79> ioria: yes
[13:13] <ioria> Kostas79, and you can't change the sata mode ?
[13:13] <Kostas79> ioria: I don't even see the option in the menu
[13:14] <ioria> Kostas79, exact model ?
[13:15] <Kostas79> ioria: SF514-54T
[13:18] <ioria> Kostas79, does it start in 'Try Mode' ?
[13:19] <Kostas79> Yes, but gives a couple of errors while it boots.
[13:20] <ioria> Kostas79, start it, open a terminal, and paste 'sudo parted -l'
[13:24] <teut> hi
[13:24] <teut> need help with vm installation ubuntu
[13:25] <teut> https://files.gitter.im/tardis-sn/gsoc/GQEw/image.png
[13:25] <teut> error wasting my time since yesterday
[13:25] <EriC^^> teut: the iso might be corrupted or the hdd you're installing to
[13:26] <EriC^^> teut: do a smart test on the hdd, and checksum the iso
[13:26] <teut> well I ve 2 hdd c and d
[13:26] <EriC^^> teut: those are 2 partitions not hdd
[13:26] <teut> c has windows and I m installing ubunto on d
[13:26] <teut> oh yes sure
[13:26] <EriC^^> teut: pastebin 'sudo parted -ls'
[13:26] <teut> whats that?
[13:27] <tomreyn> this looks like a screenshot of a VirtualBox VM
[13:27] <teut> yep
[13:27] <EriC^^> teut: what's the host (main os) that's running vbox?
[13:27] <teut> asked it on gitter  but no response
[13:27] <teut> win 10
[13:27] <tomreyn> okay, just saying, it doesn'T really help ;)
[13:27] <EriC^^> !md5sum | teut md5sum the iso first
[13:28] <EriC^^> teut: also see how you can run a smart test on the hdd in windows, /joim ##windows and ask there
[13:28] <teut> iso shouldnt be corrupted
[13:28] <EriC^^> teut: why's that?
[13:28] <teut> I ve downloaded it from original site
[13:29] <teut> v 18 and 19
[13:29] <teut> that too twice
[13:29] <EriC^^> it's meaningless
[13:29] <Kostas79> ioria: done. What should I look for?
[13:29] <EriC^^> you can download it 100 times if your isp has it cached you're downloading a bad iso
[13:30] <ioria> Kostas79, sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:30] <ioria> Kostas79, btw, i'am quite sure the problem is the usb media ...
[13:31] <teut> also if you see its not full screen
[13:31] <Kostas79> ioria: the laptop is not connected to the internet
[13:31] <ioria> Kostas79, why not ?
[13:31] <teut> how to do that
[13:31] <teut> ?
[13:31] <teut> I ve already checked view>full screen
[13:31] <teut> but the outer windows expanded not the inner one
[13:31] <EriC^^> teut: you can fix the resolution later no worries, install it first :D
[13:32] <teut> ok
[13:32] <teut> what should I do
[13:32] <teut> >
[13:32] <teut> ?
[13:32] <Kostas79> ioria: for some reason I cannot get it to connect. Always had this problem with Linux machines.
[13:32] <teut> How can I duel boot?
[13:32] <teut> that might be better
[13:32] <teut> but I dont want to buy a cd
[13:32] <teut> or pen drive
[13:33] <EriC^^> teut: first things first, smart test the hdd, checksum the iso
[13:33] <ioria> Kostas79, you can click on the network icon , open the settings and set it up
[13:33] <teut> EriC^^ ok
[13:33] <ioria> Kostas79, but, how did you make the media installer ?
[13:33] <teut> what does it means to checksum the iso?
[13:33] <teut> I m opening it with winrar
[13:34] <teut> so no new drive like icon created under this pc
[13:34] <EriC^^> teut: it means to verify its integrity, read the link
[13:34] <EriC^^> !md5sum | teut
[13:34] <teut> ok
[13:34] <teut> and which partition should I diskcheck?
[13:34] <teut> discheck is seperate for drives isnt it?
[13:35] <tomreyn> https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#1-overview  https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview
[13:35] <EriC^^> teut: smart test the hdd related to "D"
[13:35] <teut> ok
[13:35] <Kostas79> ioria: It was prepared for me by the HelpDesk of my employer.
[13:35] <ioria> Kostas79, in this case the md5checksum is not useful
[13:36] <ioria> Kostas79, looks like that machine requires a special procedure
[13:36] <Kostas79> ioria: who could help with that?
[13:37] <ioria> Kostas79, if you would have read the first link i posted you  .... also confirmed here : https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/582666/no-access-to-internal-ssd-when-outside-win10-on-an-acer-swift-5-sf514-54t
[13:38] <ioria> Kostas79,   ' Did you put isos on GPT partition FAT32 format USBs for UEFI bootstrap or Legacy BIOS using Rufus?'
[13:39] <Kostas79> ioria: I did not prepare the USB stick so I have no idea what was done
[13:40] <ioria> Kostas79,   i post again ; check '1. Create a Bootable Disk' :      https://www.infofuge.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-acer-swift-5-from-usb/
[13:40] <teut> no errors in d
[13:40] <teut> "D"
[13:41] <Kostas79> ioria: So, you advise me to return the USB stick and ask them to prepare it again according to the instructions in   https://www.infofuge.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-acer-swift-5-from-usb/ ?
[13:41] <ioria> Kostas79,   yes (if you cannot do yourself)
[13:42] <Kostas79> ioria: I could not because I do not have administrator rights in my desktop computer (previous ubuntu laptop fan died, and replacement won't come before the end of next month). I will try now using the new Win10 laptop though.
[13:44] <ioria> Kostas79,   i don't remember if Rufus wants special rights, but probably yes
[13:45] <Kostas79> ioria: I cannot install anything in my desktop
[13:46] <ioria> Kostas79, then you need your pc
[13:46] <teut> md5sum can t see this in the list of cygwin that is suggested for win
[13:48] <Kostas79> ioria: I still have rufus and the iso file, so let me try making a new bootable usb. Can I just do it over the one that doesn't work?
[13:49] <ioria> Kostas79, better to use another one (so help desk  won't go mad)
[13:50] <teut> what to do now plz tell
[13:50] <Kostas79> ioria: Well, it's Sunday and it's the only 16GB stick I have. So unless there are no technical reasons for not doing so...
[13:51] <ioria> Kostas79, the reason is that it will be erased :þ
[13:52] <Kostas79> ioria: Is that a problem?
[13:52] <ioria> Kostas79, not for me
[13:52] <Kostas79> ioria: Then off it goes!
[13:53] <ioria> Kostas79,  ok, you also have a picture of the settings https://us.v-cdn.net/6029997/uploads/editor/iu/xgpf1ig491zy.jpg
[13:55] <teut> plz help me I need to finish with the setup today.
[14:43] <synthoid> morning folks... total n00b question here but after looking at some articles I'm still confused as to what colons are for in file paths
[14:51] <tomreyn> synthoid: can you provide an example?
[14:51] <tomreyn> some context?
[14:56] <synthoid> tomreyn: sure
[14:57] <tomreyn> that's good to know.
[14:57] <synthoid> I'm trying to setup a docker based plex media server and am following an article that specifies this code to be placed in the docker compose file: https://pastebin.com/raw/3WqFfEGf
[14:57] <tomreyn> you have a docker question, ask on a docker channel
[14:57] <synthoid> and I need to update the paths to where my media is stored, but i'm confused as to what the : are for
[14:58] <synthoid> I didn't realize it was docker specific.  My apologies.
[14:58] <tomreyn> no worries, it's laso used elsewhere, but yes, it's docker specific
[15:03] <Seven_Six_Two> I'm having trouble with rsync. Doing 'rsync -av --exclude lost+found ./data1/ /media/user/data/data1' shows a total size with speedup, and no errors. Doing 'rsync -av --exclude lost+found --dry-run --delete ./data1/ /media/user/data/data1' on the other hand, shows 'deleting data1/foldername1', 'deleting data1/foldername2' etc. These folders do in fact exist in ./data1 so I'm not sure why rsync is saying they would be deleted.
[15:07] <Thermi> Hello, is there a good way to install all packages as they were available at a certain time?
[15:09] <oerheks> Thermi, no. you would need an archive and mirror already, and use pinning.
[15:09] <Thermi> oerheks: That's sad, but thank you.
[15:09] <Thermi> oerheks: Even if that time was max 1 hour ago?
[15:10] <Thermi> I want/need to optimize a CI test chain and prebuild dependencies first and "pin" the packages in place so libs that are upgradable during the test run don't impact tests run after that point in time
[15:10] <Thermi> (to make sure no linking issues occur due to incompatible library versions)
[15:10] <tomreyn> if you recorded the package installation / configuration state at that given time, and the packages are still available from your configured mirrors, you could restore the previous state - but not otherwise.
[15:11] <Thermi> Well, that's easy, if it can be scripted.
[15:11] <Thermi> The question is though: Is there a good way to script it?
[15:11] <oerheks> indeed, there is no feature to do so
[15:11] <Thermi> I wonder if anybody took care of that already
[15:12] <oerheks> nope, pinning is the only way to make sure nothing changes.
[15:12] <Thermi> no way to install a different package version than the newest from a mirror, even if that file is still on the mirror?
[15:12] <tomreyn> debian offer archive snapshots for similar use cases https://snapshot.debian.org/ but i don't think ubuntu does
[15:13] <Chuckfu> got an easy question for a real Geek, not like me  trying to use an IP of 192.1668.1.39 what is the subnet CIDR 255.255.255.0/24 ???
[15:13] <Chuckfu> 192.168.1.39
[15:13] <Thermi> Chuckfu: 1668 isn't - yeah
[15:13] <Thermi> 192.168.1.0/24
[15:14] <Thermi> tomreyn: oerheks: tank you, I'll look around further
[15:14] <Paddy_NI> Is there a command for checking how long your currently installed version of Ubuntu will get updates/support for?
[15:14] <oerheks> !info timeshift
[15:14] <Chuckfu> the install routine for server says subnet xx.xx.xx.xx/xx
[15:15] <tomreyn> Paddy_NI: ubuntu-support-status
[15:15] <oerheks> check support status
[15:15] <oerheks> ubuntu-support-status --help
[15:15] <Paddy_NI> tomreyn, oerheks that's awesome thank you very much :-)
[15:18] <Chuckfu> what would the subnet for 192.168.1.39 be for 18.04 server
[15:19] <Thermi> Chuckfu: https://www.calculator.net/ip-subnet-calculator.html
[15:19] <tomreyn> Paddy_NI: or, to just list the reamining days until EOL for the current release:  ubuntu-distro-info -yeol --series $(lsb_release -sc)
[15:21] <ToAruShiroiNeko> hi

[15:22] <ToAruShiroiNeko> sudo find /var/www/html/roundcube/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} ;
[15:22] <ToAruShiroiNeko> they probably have a syntax issue?
[15:27] <Chuckfu> Yes have tried that, when I put the subnet as 255.255.255.252/30 and the ip 192.168.1.39 it say the ip is not contained in 255.255.255.252/30
[15:27] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I get find: missing argument to `-exec'
[15:27] <oerheks> Chuckfu, answered <Thermi> 192.168.1.0/24
[15:31] <Chuckfu> has anyone installed the server version and run into this problem
[15:32] <ToAruShiroiNeko> sigh
[15:32] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I do not know why but I cannot get roundcube to run
[15:34] <oerheks> Chuckfu, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server too

[15:58] <Captain_Proton> Anyone running ubuntu on a AMD Ryzen 7 if so did you have any problems with drivers or any other problems
[16:00] <tomreyn> Captain_Proton: this isn't a polling station - is there a problem you're experiencing with your ubuntu installation you're looking for help with?
[16:00] <tomreyn> there's also #ubuntu-discuss and ##linux if you're just looking for other peoples' experiences
[16:01] <Captain_Proton> I have not bought it yet I want to see if anyone had a problem with it, since AMD does not have the best driver support in linux
[16:03] <Captain_Proton> Also if there have been problems support would be the first to know
[16:18] <oerheks> what have you found sofar?
[16:19] <oerheks> just make sure you have the latest bios installed, i guess, looking at posts
[16:33] <p0a> Hello I installed cmake and then I installed cmake from source and replaced the bin with the source one
[16:33] <p0a> but now it doesnt work
[16:33] <p0a> what can I do to fix the things I've done?
[16:34] <oerheks> we just wait as you seem to fix all things yourself, p0a..
[16:34] <oerheks> :-D
[16:34] <p0a> :D
[16:35] <p0a> use the hammer, right?
[16:36] <coz_> p0a, did you try a sudo make uninstall in the source directory for cmake?
[16:36] <p0a> coz_: thanks, but I replaced the apt binary with the make binary
[16:37] <p0a> btw apt did not remove the replaced apt binary so I'm confused
[16:37] <p0a> when I uninstalled from dpkg
[16:37] <p0a> god I hate packages
[16:37] <coz_> p0a, oh, I have been there
[16:38] <coz_> p0a, My fall back to situations like this is a reinstall, but that doen't always sit well all the time ")
[16:39] <p0a> coz_: my fallback is to every 6 months reinstall the OS
[16:39] <p0a> and backup my files which adds another home/ layer under my home/
[16:39] <coz_> p0a, ah excellent, beat approach ")
[16:39] <coz_> best approach rather
[16:41] <p0a> Okay, I want to install xournalpp but apt refuses, says to use snap
[16:42] <p0a> I tried using snap but it refused and told me to use an insecure option
[16:45] <p0a> oh wait, snap is closed source?
[16:45] <p0a> what in the ..?
[16:47] <wozy> hi
[16:47] <oerheks> no, gpl2 https://snapcraft.io/xournalpp
[16:48] <wozy> i was trying to install nod32 on my ubuntu 64
[16:48] <wozy> but i runned this: sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0:i386
[16:48] <wozy> now chrome breaks
[16:48] <wozy> i dont know why
[16:48] <wozy> is there any way to restore the 64 bits version of that dependency?
[16:49] <wozy> i already tried to uninstall chrome
[16:49] <wozy> and install it back again
[16:49] <wozy> the problem remains
[16:51] <oerheks> seems to be a known issue, no fix, https://piunikaweb.com/2019/12/24/google-chrome-79-crashing-nod32-linux-eset/ and more sites
[16:53] <wozy> oh
[16:53] <p0a> just use firefox
[16:53] <wozy> it is because of the nod32?
[16:53] <wozy> i need chrome tho
[16:54] <wozy> i use them both
[16:54] <wozy> for diferent things
[16:54] <wozy> is there a fix?
[16:54] <wozy> apart from uninstalling nod?
[16:54] <p0a> What do you use chrome for?
[16:54] <p0a> firefox can emuate chrome if you're doing webdev
[16:54] <wozy> na
[16:55] <wozy> i use chrome for general navigation
[16:55] <wozy> and firefox to work
[16:55] <p0a> time to use firefox for general navigation
[16:57] <wozy> i would delete nod32 before i start using firefox for general navigation xD
[16:58] <wozy> my chrome is version 80
[16:58] <wozy> Version 80.0.3987.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)
[17:02] <wozy> what AV do you use?
[17:02] <wozy> i used to use nod32 when i was on windows
[17:02] <luna> none
[17:04] <p0a> I didnt' even realize nod32 refers to an antivirus, thought it was some javascript package
[17:05] <oerheks> nod32 is maybe good for windows files, calamav and rkhunter are the linux tools
[17:05] <luna> p0a: its ESET Nod32 AV
[17:05] <oerheks> !info clamav
[17:05] <oerheks> !info rkhunter
[17:06] <oerheks> so, file a bugreport to Avast nod32?
[17:07] <oerheks> ( not on launchpad)
[17:11] <oerheks> btw avast is pretty lame .. https://twitter.com/taviso/status/1237105815414124549
[17:31] <coconut> Does ubuntu prevent executing files from another partition than system partition?
[17:33] <oerheks> coconut, yes, if it is not owned by the application group or root.
[17:35] <ioria> mount options have to allow the execute permission bit
[17:39] <oerheks> good spot ioria
[17:49] <coconut> i see, thank you
[17:51] <Kostas79> Can anyone help with installing Ubuntu 18.04.4 on an Acer Swift 5 (SF514-54T). I have tried pretty much everything listed online and still cannot get it to recognize the SSD drive to do the installation. Details of my problem here: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/591400/cant-install-ubuntu-18-04-on-swift-5-2019
[17:51] <Aa155> Hey. How do you setup RAID5 during install on the 18.04 "Live" server installer? See: https://imgur.com/a/VIaDhVD . It only creates a bios_grub on one disk. I also tried "mini.iso" and I made the EFI partition, raid5 them, and then it failed to boot. Thanks!
[17:52] <Aa155> Btw RAID10 worked perfect with Mini.iso, but with Raid5 it's been a struggle.
[17:53] <Aa155> Do I just make a 1M partition to each drive and then "dd" /dev/sda1 (Partition 1) over? That could work... I think..
[18:02] <coconut> Is partitioning any different on ssd's than it was on hdd's years ago? (max amount of primary partitions).
[18:03] <oerheks> no, mbr is still 4 primairy.
[18:03] <oerheks> new GPT does not have this limit.
[18:25] <coconut> great, thank you oerheks!
[18:26] <oerheks> have fun!
[18:29] <XanRevent> Hey all, I'm having trouble figuring out how to pass a sx command via console port. I'm trying to send a firmware file to an HP switch that is out of support.
[18:30] <XanRevent> I'm also new to IRC and haven't asked for help before, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
[18:31] <oerheks> XanRevent, you asked, just wait and see, if someone can help you
[18:32] <oerheks> i see there is http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/hp-firmware.1.html
[18:35] <XanRevent> oerheks that seems to be for products that are not beyond end of life to have it automagically download the firmware to the device. I'm going to give it a shot and will report back.
[18:38] <oerheks> XanRevent, another read, i hope you succeed .. https://nsrc.org/workshops/2011/nsrc-ng-forum/raw-attachment/wiki/Agenda/hp-reflash.pdf
[19:15] <heaveny_prime> Hello everyone, this is where I can ask about my Ubuntu issues, right?
[19:15] <kostkon> heaveny_prime, yep
[19:16] <heaveny_prime> Alright. I tried to install a new DE, LXQT because GNOME eats too much RAM. Running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
[19:17] <heaveny_prime> Downloaded and installed it alongside sddm. Then installed openbox too because lxqt asked for a window manager. The result is a black screen with my desktop files and nothing else, no start button or taskbar, plus black background. I can open terminal, and yeah.
[19:18] <heaveny_prime> What should I do to make LXQT look normal? That is, have the start button, and the taskbar at least
[19:20] <TJ-> heaveny_prime: you'd have been better to install the Lubuntu desktop - although not sure if it had switched to QT for 18.04
[19:20] <heaveny_prime> I tried to install it, but gave me some weird notice and didn't even download it
[19:23] <TJ-> heaveny_prime: from any *buntu install you'd just do "sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop"
[19:23] <oerheks> i have this written down;  sudo apt install xorg lxqt pcmanfm-qt lxqt-admin lxqt-common lxqt-config lxqt-globalkeys lxqt-notificationd lxqt-panel lxqt-policykit lxqt-powermanagement lxqt-qtplugin lxqt-runner lxqt-session lxqt-sudo   ## sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager  and choose lxgt
[19:23] <TJ-> heaveny_prime: with all the *buntu flavours you can co-install the alternate desktops this way
[19:25] <Aa155> hmm.. RAID5 install question... If I make a RAID5 installation, the installer automatically makes a 1M partition for EFI boot.. on the first drive.
[19:26] <TJ-> Aa155: why RAID-5 -- it's almost never a good idea
[19:26] <Aa155> But, if I add the rest of the partitions... and just make 1M on other drives and copy the layout... it won't match the layout
[19:26] <heaveny_prime> Aha. Alright, thanks for that tip and the commands oerheks. One more thing, after I installed LXQT and sddm my screenlock seemingly got disabled or broken, after 5 mins nothing happens.
[19:26] <Aa155> @TJ-, I need maximum storage out of 4 disks... it's okay.. nothing valuable on it
[19:26] <TJ-> Aa155: maximum storage? stripe them then :)
[19:27] <Aa155> haha, yea that's a bit more crazy
[19:27] <Aa155> this is what the layout looks like: https://i.imgur.com/nk7Jrez.png
[19:27] <TJ-> Aa155: thing is with RAID-5 on 4 disks if one fails you're at the mercy of no others failing whilst the rebuild occurs and that puts stress on ALL the other disks AND takes a long time
[19:27] <Aa155> ofc I haven't done disk4 yet, but you can see the issue. Disk1 has the automatically added partition. then I tried to mimic it.. but without luck. (I wanted to just use "dd" to copy this boot partition.)
[19:28] <Aa155> yea I know... its a trade-off I have to make
[19:28] <Aa155> can't find a bigger server that wouldn't cost a fortune
[19:28] <Aa155> so anyway, the thing is, why does the installer do this?
[19:28] <Aa155> its basically making ONE boot partition, so even if I had RAID10, I could lose boot
[19:28] <oerheks> that may be due to lxqt-session?
[19:29] <oerheks> not sure what packages you have, or don't
[19:29] <Aa155> hmmm... maybe the default automatic 1M partition is not 1M ? hmmm
[19:29] <TJ-> Aa155: if you want EFI-SP then I'd eith put that on a single disk and use equal sized partitions for the RAID-5, or partition each disk with p1 (256MB) p2 (the rest) and use mdadm to make all the p1s part of a RAID-1 mirror and all the p2s part of the RAID-5
[19:30] <Aa155> yea I'm trying that but this "Live installation" ... see image, it adds this 1M ESP partition by itself
[19:30] <Aa155> I can't control it
[19:30] <Aa155> oh its 512M... can't read
[19:30] <Aa155> jesus
[19:30] <Aa155> so I plan on letting it make this 512M partition... and I just mimic layout, and then I dd it all over every disk... so... HOPEFULLY I should have an intact EFI on each drive
[19:31] <Aa155> that should work.. right? Oo
[19:33] <TJ-> if you make all the p1s part of a RAID-1 mirror yes. Might need to do manual intervention to do that though
[19:44] <heaveny_prime> oerheks I'm not sure, I downloaded lxqt, sddm, openbow and bspwm. I'm not using bspwm because it doesn't work. Either way, the missing screenlock thing happens in GNOME too, that's my problem
[19:54] <AlonsoQuijano> May someone please recommend an usb webcam that works well with ubuntu? Thnx
[19:57] <TJ-> AlonsoQuijano: any camera that is UVC (USB Video Class) will work fine
[20:00] <AlonsoQuijano> @T3 Thanks
[20:01] <AlonsoQuijano> @TJ (sorry) Thanks
[20:17] <johnmsith92> Hello everyone! I just moved my pc from my work office to my home. Everything works fine until I login to my account, then the screen goes black and the monitor turns off. I guess this is because I am using a monitor which is not the same as my office's one. Any idea of how I can fix this? I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I have a NVIDIA Geforce
[20:17] <johnmsith92> GTX560
[20:20] <jeremy31> johnmsith92: you might need grub option nomodeset
[20:22] <johnmsith92> jeremy31: Gonna try to get into grub then, although I don't see any grub screen when booting up the system
[20:23] <jeremy31> johnmsith92: might need to tap ESC or shift key to get the grub menu to show up, then press e and add nomodeset next to quiet splash
[20:24] <AlonsoQuijano> exit
[20:25] <johnmsith92> alright! got grub to appear pressing esc, GNU GRUB version 2.02
[20:25] <johnmsith92> jeremy31: But pressing e says that the command could not be found
[20:27] <ioria> johnmsith92, nope, that's the grub shell
[20:28] <ioria> johnmsith92, do you have a prompt ?
[20:28] <johnmsith92> in the grub shell? yes
[20:28] <ioria> johnmsith92, that's not what jeremy31 was talking about
[20:29] <ioria> johnmsith92, this : https://www.dell.com/support/article/it-it/sln306327/manual-nomodeset-kernel-boot-line-option-for-linux-booting?lang=en
[20:29] <johnmsith92> ioria: so, I dont see that dialog on my system
[20:30] <ioria> johnmsith92, what you tapped ? esc or shift
[20:30] <johnmsith92> maybe related to the use of full disk encryption?
[20:30] <johnmsith92> esc
[20:30] <ioria> johnmsith92, try with left shift
[20:30] <jeremy31> pressing c at the grub menu will put you at a grub prompt
[20:31] <ioria> johnmsith92, or that ^
[20:31] <ioria> but he pressed 'e'
[20:32] <jeremy31> Might be grub being weird
[20:32] <ioria> i guess is msdos/efi tricks
[20:32] <johnmsith92> okay! pressing left shift made grub appear and i added nomodeset
[20:32] <ioria> ok
[20:33] <johnmsith92> gonna try logging in now
[20:33] <ioria> now nvidia is disabled
[20:34] <johnmsith92> now it does indeed show the desktop! what should I do next?
[20:34] <johnmsith92> (in order to get nvidia working again)
[20:34] <ioria> locate xorg.conf created by nvidia-settings , i guess
[20:34] <ioria> johnmsith92, sudo updatedb && locate xorg.conf
[20:36] <johnmsith92> there's the folder /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
[20:36] <johnmsith92> inside that several files and then 10-nvidia.conf
[20:36] <ioria> not that
[20:36] <johnmsith92> is that the one I have to edit?
[20:37] <ioria> oh, yes, please pastebin them
[20:37] <ioria> johnmsith92, locate xorg.conf | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:38] <zaico> \leave
[20:39] <johnmsith92> ioria: https://pastebin.com/F6GvzvZg
[20:39] <ioria> johnmsith92, locate xorg.conf | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:40] <johnmsith92> hold on, need to set internet access then
[20:41] <ioria> johnmsith92, i think you need to reset your old nvidia/monitor configuration
[20:42] <johnmsith92> https://termbin.com/3w6yl
[20:43] <johnmsith92> I think that too, but I dont know how to though
[20:44] <ioria> johnmsith92, ok, try to backup this file : /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
[20:44] <NerdyAnarchist> I just started using w3m again after a long break, and for some reason it's not showing images (w3m-img is installed, and the image preview in ranger still works) running the version that comes with Bionic
[20:45] <johnmsith92> ioria: backup made!
[20:45] <ioria> johnmsith92,  check for this : locate monitors.xml
[20:46] <johnmsith92> got empty output
[20:48] <johnmsith92> ioria: can't find the file monitors.xml
[20:48] <ioria> johnmsith92,  i got it
[20:49] <johnmsith92> (sorry, I thought you didnt get the notification because I missed to mention you)
[20:49] <ioria> johnmsith92,  are you sure you just changed your monitor and nothing else ?
[20:50] <johnmsith92> ioria: yes, right now I have only plugged the power cord, the monitor, the ethernet cable, and the keyboard and mouse
[20:52] <NerdyAnarchist> Ignore my request - I had apparently turned off the setting in the options menu last time I ran w3m.
[20:52] <ioria> johnmsith92,  reboot (but if it fails, you need again nomodeset)
[20:53] <Furai> hmm
[20:55] <johnmsith92> N3RV107@!
[20:56] <johnmsith92> sorry, wrong chat
[20:56] <johnmsith92> ioria: it does work now indeed lol
[20:57] <ioria> johnmsith92, what does not work ?
[20:57] <ioria> oh, sorry
[20:57] <johnmsith92> i mean, it works now! the monitor did not turn off
[20:58] <johnmsith92> weird... isnt it? i mean, we did not change anything
[20:58] <ioria> johnmsith92, ok, go in nvidia-settings and check if it's all ok
[20:58] <ioria> johnmsith92, no, we did
[20:59] <johnmsith92> i think it's okay? what should it say?
[21:00] <ioria> johnmsith92, sy, have to go; bye
[21:00] <johnmsith92> ioria: thanks for your help!
[21:00] <johnmsith92> jeremy31 : thanks too jeremy!
[21:02] <oerheks> another happy customer :-D
[21:02] <jeremy31> I already forgot what I did
[21:06] <heaveny_prime> Hello again, I'd like to ask, what can I do to restore GNOME screenlock? I call it so because after installing sddm and lxqt it seems the fade-to-darkness and the screenlocking itself disappeared, or the settings got nuked
[21:31] <rfm> Is the entry for the root file system in /etc/fstab actually used for anything?  The root=UUID-blah entry on the linux seems to identify it.  I ask because I am thinking of keeping an rsync backup of the boot drive for quick recovery without RAIDing the boot drive.
[21:32] <lordcirth_> rfm, generally the kernel mounts / read-only, then /etc/fstab triggers it to be remounted read-write and possibly with other options
[21:37] <rfm> lordcirth_, sounds like I should exclude /etc/fstab from the rsync and make sure the entry on the backup drive points to the backup drive.
[21:38] <lordcirth_> That might work
[21:39] <zeedee> having an issue with tar but only seems to be a problem when in a script. see here https://pastebin.com/uxktk0Yt
[21:42] <lordcirth_> zeedee, where's the '' coming from?
[21:43] <EriC^> zeedee: was the script written in windows?
[21:43] <EriC^> cause windows uses a carriage return + line feed not just a line feed like ubuntu
[21:45] <zeedee> lordcirth_: i dont know how to answer that, running it from my home folder?
[21:45] <zeedee> EriC^: no, just on this os
[21:46] <lordcirth_> "tar cvf 949106654.tar foo.txt ''" - is there a '' in the script?
[21:46] <EriC^> zeedee: pastebin the output of 'hexdump -C /path/to/script"
[21:46] <zeedee> lordcirth_: https://pastebin.com/6GFYjkQS
[21:46] <smorris> zeedee, I think he means did you originally write this on a Windows box. Like in Notepad++ or something...
[21:47] <zeedee> smorris: i got that and no. nano
[21:47] <lordcirth_> tar cvf "$now.tar" "$1" "$2"
[21:47] <lordcirth_> Looks like $2 might be empty?
[21:47] <Mordoc> zeedee, Ah sorry...
[21:48] <zeedee> lordcirth_: intent was more thatn one file, still learning...obv
[21:48] <zeedee> Mordoc: no worries. im not bright
[21:48] <Mordoc> zeedee,
[21:48] <lordcirth_> zeedee, If you want it to pass all remaining args to tar, you can use $@
[21:49] <tomreyn> $@ is what you want there
[21:49] <zeedee> 10-4
[21:49] <Mordoc> zeedee, Ack, no worries. Looks like the gang is asking the right questions
[21:49] <zeedee> still want hexdump?
[21:49] <EriC^> no
[21:49] <EriC^> also might as well do "${now}.tar"
[21:50] <zeedee> willdo
[21:50] <zeedee> may i ask why use that? or rtfm?
[21:50] <zeedee> tar cvf "${now.tar}" "$@"    ?
[21:50] <lordcirth_> zeedee, By using "$2", and passing less than 2 args, $2 was empty, so tar got "" as an argument
[21:51] <EriC^> no you want the variable to have the {} aroun dit
[21:51] <zeedee> ahh
[21:51] <heaveny_prime> Hello, I tried to install lxqt-common which broke lxqt fully, and after removing it, turns out it think the dependencies for lxqt come from lxqt-common I believe. What can I do about it?
[21:52] <EriC^> zeedee: it's good practice, and sometimes needed, just more precise, plus later you could use ${var} with other features like substitutions and whatnot
[21:53] <bprompt> heaveny_prime:  reinstall lxqt-common =)
[21:53] <zeedee> and the varialbe is $now so ${now} is better?
[21:53] <bprompt> heaveny_prime:  I'm guessing it may be due to some versioning issue, maybe you installed the wrong version of it, but lxqt uses lxqt-common
[21:54] <heaveny_prime> er... I don't know. I installed lxqt-common which removed multiple other lxqt packages, and trying to install them lead to saying broken packages because of lxqt-common
[21:54] <heaveny_prime> in that case, what should I get really? lubuntu-desktop directly?
[21:54] <EriC^> zeedee: yeah, for instance, ${now}something can be used, $nowsomething wont
[21:55] <zeedee> thank you peeps, using $@ solved the error output
[21:55] <zeedee> EriC^: makes sense
[21:55] <EriC^> it's more obvious, and stuff, also look in "man bash" at "parameter expansion" section, it has a ton of useful stuff that can be used with {}
[21:56] <zeedee> i have another question about gpg. ok to ask here or should i go to their chat?
[21:56] <zeedee> "parameter expansion" thank you
[21:56] <EriC^> sure fire away, somebody might know
[21:58] <bprompt> heaveny_prime:  hmmm what are you trying to do per se?  I mean, I run kubuntu, and it comes with kde as well QT, lxQT as you can is, is QT based
[21:59] <zeedee> so again, new.... i have to type gpg -o foo.txt -d foo.txt.gpg otherwise output is printed to the screen
[22:00] <zeedee> seems -for-your-eyes-only-option is set
[22:00] <zeedee> i just want to gpg -d foo.txt.gpg and get foo.txt
[22:01] <zeedee> after typing passphrase
[22:05] <tomreyn> zeedee: that's not how gpg works, though. so unless you can get used to how it works your only other options are to write a wrapper script (and maybe alias it, but i wouldn't recommend this) or to change its source code and rebuild it.
[22:05] <zeedee> tomreyn: good to kknow, i wonder if i had bad expectation
[22:06] <zeedee> thanks
[22:07] <tomreyn> you're welcome.
[22:08] <zeedee> whew that was easy one. thanks again people. adios
[22:23] <westor> Q: how to check if my linux supports ipv6 now?
[22:23] <guntbert> westor: it does - have a look at the output of     ip ad
[22:25] <westor> i got this https://pastebin.com/BMrxN1hm
[22:26] <westor> inet6 ::1/128 scope host
[22:26] <westor> that one means it is enabled yes?
[22:27] <oerheks> very good observation
[22:37] <kenperkins> ok so I'm trying to digest the best way to configure a persistent mount to a synology drive; same user on both sides
[22:39] <sebastianbaez> Hi. Hope someone can shed some light on a laptop issue I'm having:  Dell Latitude E6410.  I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it but not booting after installation is finished.  I have tried ATA, AHCI and RaidOn.  Also tried MBR and UEFI.  All with same results. The Live USB boots into graphical mode just fine.
[22:42] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: what happens when you try booting it?
[22:43] <sebastianbaez> @EriC^ blank screen and never makes it to the login screen
[22:43] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, I even thought it was a GPT versus MBR issue and used GParted to create a new MBR partition table.
[22:43] <EriC^> ok so you do get an ubuntu loading screen or grub, right?
[22:44] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, not even grub
[22:44] <sebastianbaez> sorry forgot that bit
[22:44] <EriC^> did you try holding shift?
[22:45] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, it's a very old version of UEFI.  It had Windows 10 running fine on it before I tried to install Ubuntu.
[22:45] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, even at that, I installed Windows 10 in MBR mode
[22:45] <EriC^> aha, so shift no dice on grub?
[22:46] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, I just tried Shift.  The HD light is not even blinking.
[22:47] <EriC^> currently what mode is it installed in? uefi or mbr?
[22:48] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, MBR mode but something weird just happened: I pressed F12 during boot, picked the 'ubuntu' option under UEFI, then picked the local HD option under legacy and it booted to the login screen.  :scratching_my_head:
[22:49] <EriC^> yeah, that makes sense
[22:49] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: press f2, put the local hd first in the boot order, and set it to boot using csm legacy or uefi disabled
[22:51] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, So even though I disabled UEFI in BIOS, booted off the Live USB and installed in what I thought was MBR mode, Ubuntu somehow force installed in UEFI mode?
[22:52] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: i thought you said you had to choose local hd under legacy to boot?
[22:52] <EriC^> you don't get that option in the boot menu initially? you have to choose ubuntu uefi to get it?
[22:54] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: if it booted already, try typing 'ls /sys/firmware/efi' see if any dirs are found or it says no such dir
[22:54] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, I saw that somewhere in a search result but didn't make sense.  I just tried it and it worked but.  Basically, pressed F12 key to show BIOS boot options, scrolled down to 'ubuntu' under the UEFI label, then another BIOS menu came up asking where to boot from and by chance I picked local hd under the Legacy label.  voila!  Login screen.  but it's a manual process.  it doesn't do it on its own
[22:55] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: i see
[22:56] <sebastianbaez> So bizarre.  I'm going to check with that ls command.
[22:57] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, nope, only dirs are acpi, dmi and memmap...
[22:59] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: ok, so you're currently booted in legacy mode
[22:59] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: do you have internet connection on the pc? just to do a sanity check on the partition table
[22:59] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, sanity check?
[22:59] <EriC^> to see if it's all good
[23:00] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, I just connected to WiFi
[23:00] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: ok, type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999" that should pastebin the partition table
[23:00] <EriC^> copy the link it gives you here
[23:01] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, https://termbin.com/5a1q
[23:01] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: looks good
[23:02] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, yep msdos partition table
[23:02] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: ok, so try to boot back into the bios using F2 when the pc boots, what's the boot options look like
[23:03] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, I get 2 options:  Legacy:  Internal HDD  UEFI: ubuntu
[23:03] <EriC^> sebastianbaez: can you prioritize one over the other?
[23:04] <EriC^> is there a main option for the boot method, uefi,csm legacy, etc?
[23:04] <EriC^> can you delete the uefi ubuntu entry?
[23:04] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, by itself it won't boot into anything.  I have to first pick ubuntu then internal hdd on the next screen.  only option to disable UEFI is to pick legacy but either option won't  boot automatically
[23:05] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, hmm good thought. i'm going to try that.
[23:07] <sebastianbaez> EriC^, OMG it was the BIOS messing me up all this time.  LOL  I could kiss you right now...  :D
[23:08] <EriC^> xD
[23:08] <EriC^> no wait, corona! :D
[23:08] <sebastianbaez> LOL I know
[23:08] <EriC^> anyways congrats and enjoy :D
[23:08] <sebastianbaez> EriC^,  thank you thank you thank you for brainstorming with me
[23:08] <EriC^> no problem
[23:09] <sebastianbaez> au revoir
