TJ-CrazySam: or maybe "ubuntu-server" (if it exists in 18.04)00:00
usr13If it was installed as server, you can still install all of the ubuntu-desktop stuff.  If it was installed as ubuntu-desktop, you can uninstall lots of stuff and pear down to server of your choice.00:00
TJ-CrazySam: one way might be to do "head /etc/apt/sources.list" -- sometimes if the install was created from the ISO it *may* include the /dev/cdrom path as a source of packages which'll include the name of the ISO00:01
usr13CrazySam: https://askubuntu.com/questions/12562/how-to-check-if-ubuntu-desktop-or-server-is-installed00:01
usr13CrazySam: It IS an interesting question though not sure of a clear answer.00:02
usr13Well, as I look back, that link is about 4 years old, not sure how relevant the info is in it.00:03
CrazySamthe reason i asked this question is because i was backtracking my steps as part of troubleshooting an issue on a vps00:04
CrazySamand it would seem like a good thing to know, what kind of system you're running00:05
CrazySami installed it 3 years ago so i forgot00:05
kaleidoserver vs desktop is just a matter of what packages are installed. it's the same system.00:05
CrazySamwhat i installed...00:05
TJ-CrazySam: there may be clues in /var/log/installer/00:05
usr13CrazySam: YOu don't keep a diary??00:05
TJ-CrazySam: try "cat /var/log/installer/media-info"00:06
CrazySamyou mean you do? :)00:06
CrazySambut it is an interesting question!00:06
CrazySammakes me wonder about ubuntu linux...00:06
CrazySamwhat is and what isn't...00:07
CrazySamto be or not to be a server! ;)00:07
TJ-server's generally are headless most of the time00:07
usr13CrazySam: No, but there are times I wish I did....00:07
CrazySami guess you can say it's two sides of the same coin, so i have realized that my question is irrelevant00:08
CrazySami do try to keep "notes" of some things, it's a habit i have developed, not sure how healthy it is00:09
usr13CrazySam: Yea, I have a big file of random notes that I've added to for YEARS... it's alomost like a diary.00:10
pavlosCrazySam: cat /etc/motd ... server usually shows system info (load, procs, mem, ...00:10
=== nt0_ is now known as nt0
CrazySamusr13: i have also tons of old notes and stuff i have not cleared up in years00:14
usr13CrazySam: Just pile it all into one big file and search it for info.00:15
CrazySami now try to systemize the stuff, for example i would throw in a "readme" or "note" (note to self) inside folders that i have neatly organized00:16
usr13I find it is too much trouble to try and organize it.00:16
bluesj0tI also keep one single .txt file with 5 worth of random notes00:17
bluesj0t5 years*00:17
CrazySamand it all started with a 1.44K floppy disk in 1998...00:18
usr13bluesj0t: Yea, mine is older than 5 years00:18
CrazySams/K/M00:18
usr13Don't really know how long ago I started it.00:18
CrazySamall your secrets in one place! neatly tucked away in the front pocket of your shirt! The 90s! :)00:19
usr13bluesj0t: ... but I still find it useful from time to time, (especially considering how defective my memory is).00:20
usr13bluesj0t: I do now this, it has 2022 lines00:22
CrazySamvps-1: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop: ubuntu-desktop, 1.417.4, amd64, The Ubuntu desktop system00:22
CrazySamvps-2: dkpg -l ubuntu-server: ubuntu-server, 1.417.4, amd64, The Ubuntu Server system00:23
CrazySamvps-1: dpkg -l ubuntu-server: ubuntu-server, 1.417.4,, amd64, The Ubuntu Server system00:23
CrazySamvps-2: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop: dpkg-query: no packages found matching ubuntu-desktop00:23
usr13Ok, yea, we got it.00:23
CrazySamone is definitively a server, the other one is living a double life00:24
usr13CrazySam: There really should be a way to find out for sure which it is.00:25
CrazySamnow lemme just file those commands to my mega list of useful linux commands... i do have one, everyone should00:26
bluesj0tusr13:  same here I cant keep hundreds of notes in different parts of my file system,  all in one spot serves well00:26
CrazySambluesj0t: even something like useful linux commands?00:26
bluesj0tWhat's your guys opinion on formatting external drives (usb, hdd, ssd)? Do you guys use mkfs in the terminal or prefer gparted?00:27
usr13CrazySam: Yes, especially useful linux commands, mostly commands and aguments.00:27
bluesj0tCrazySam: especially linux commands,  and I'll even #write notes like this to remind me what the commands are used for00:28
usr13bluesj0t: I mostly use mkfs00:28
bluesj0tusr13: same I find gparted extremely unstable and always corrupts drives but everyone I run into loves it , feel like I'm the only one lol00:29
pavlosbluesj0t: mkfs or parted on terminal00:30
usr13bluesj0t: I've not had problems with gparted, but would rather cut to the chase00:30
bluesj0tAnyone here have experience with windscribe and can reccomend it?00:45
rydiamegan24Android devices have alarms that run in the background that go off when you set them. Is there anything that is like that for me to install so I can wake up? Because I don't have a working phone.01:24
pavlosbluesj0t: I use the free version, 10GB/mo ... no complaints01:34
bluesj0trydiamegan24: also interested in this01:38
rydiamegan24I tried gnome-clocks, but that only works when it is left open. I need something that runs in the background like Millennium Alarm Clock Plus for Android.01:39

Bashing-ombitblit: In which config file ?03:02
drbeanHow do I change ownership of sudoers on ubuntu xenial back to root. I changed ownership of all the files in /etc to a user. And now I cannot change it back to root with sudo.03:12
Bashing-omdrbean: Best practice in such an event is a re-install of the operating system . There are thousands of files to verify :(03:14
bitblitBashing-om: I'm using a script that references it, and it is unset for me. wondering where I should define it so it persists rebooting.03:14
Bashing-ombitblit: See if XDG_CONFIG_HOME does not equate to /home/<user>/.config .03:17
bitblitBashing-om: can't check it, it's undefined.03:18
drbeanhttps://superuser.com/questions/1496397/changed-root-file-ownership-any-way-back03:33
drbeansuggests setting user's password as root password and login as root to reset sudoers file ownership.03:35
drbeanBut it appears to require a reboot.03:36
Bashing-omdrbean: Booting into recovery kernel from grub, one has access to root there.03:36
drbeanI will reboot when I get to the server on Monday. I don't want to try it on the weekend when I don't have physical access.03:38
krytarikbitblit: 1.) It not being set is normal and expected, also see: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html  2.)

lotuspsychjeSlidingHorn: not sure its related, but i recall gnome-boxes has a kvm bug on bionic, needing to add the user to kvm group06:06
SlidingHornthis is a server, so no gnome...user is in the kvm group06:08

DarkMatHi guys, I am trying to find a regular expression that matches a valid email, but I have not found anyone good enough. For example, pepito@cosas.es and pepito.perez_15@hola.es are valid but sadfs@ewf.com@hola.es is not valid08:53
jilx1108:53
DarkMatAny solution for extracting emails fromt text file from command line would be good too08:54
ducassejil: then xrandr should still be the solution, but details might have changed, like output names08:55
Triffid_HunterDarkMat: http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html is one for RFC822, but the general wisdom is you shouldn't be validating emails with regex08:58
Triffid_HunterDarkMat: if it passes ,+@,+, let the DNS system and receiving server work out if it's valid09:00

DarkMatTriffid_Hunter, this is for exercises asked from a course. They ask a command for extracting  email from a text file with egrep, sed, awk, etc.09:05
ducasseDarkMat: if this is an assignment you've been given, you need to solve it yourself. we're not here to do your homework.09:06
Triffid_HunterDarkMat: well your course is apparently teaching practices that the industry have decided are bad ideas ;)09:07
DarkMatducasse, I have already searched a lot ducasse, but I am not going to argue about that. I am 46 years old, I have two children and I am using linux since 1996. I do what I can. Of course when I would have the solution I will try to understand it. I am not going into IRC flame wars09:10

AlexPortableI have two problems with Ubuntu right now, one is that the computer (18.04) won't have any internet connectivity after returning from standby (disconnecting the cable, turning off the router or restarting the computer works). The other problem is that my system (Ubuntu 19.10) locks up during heavy I/O09:44
TJ-AlexPortable: suspend issue, try an acpi_osi workaround. See  https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html10:02
TJ-AlexPortable: for the lock-up you need to further diagnose it. Sometimes it can be GPU lock-ups but if it is just I/O you might be better using the -lowlatency rather than -generic kernel images10:02

yiHi everyone, is it possible that apparmor affects processes that do not have a profile? I'm using cinnamon as a DE and noticed that when apparmor is active, the applet "QRedshift" wont work anymore. Deactivating all profiles does not help but removing the kernel parameters and disabling the service does.11:44
BluesKajHowdy folks11:51
Triffid_Hunteryi: apparmor is default deny afaik, not much use if it gives unknown apps free reign11:52
yiTriffid_Hunter ah okay, I'll look into that, thanks11:57
bamb9Hello everyone!12:00
coz_hey12:00
bamb9I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS12:01
bamb9Trying to upgrade php5 to php7 but unable12:01
bamb9apt-cache search php712:01
bamb9Is empty12:01
bamb9Already followed this : https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-install-php-7-on-ubuntu-linux-14-04-lts12:01
bamb9But I don't understand why is unable to find any php7 package12:02
coz_bamb9, why still on 14.04?12:03
bamb9Don't know :)12:04
coz_oh12:04
bamb9We forgot to update, but it's a machine in productiono12:04
bamb9shall we update to last one?12:04
bamb9Which one you advice?12:04
bamb9Will be a painless upgrade? :P12:04
coz_bamb9,  well you might have to upgrade slowly, let me check12:05
bamb9But could be useful to upgrade php first since I have to install WP :')12:05
coz_bamb9,  you would have to upgrade to 1.04 and then to 18.04  tutorial here    https://medium.com/@shathi.ece/upgrade-ubuntu-14-04-lts-to-ubuntu-16-04-lts-d0225503efb412:08
coz_bamb9,  rather 16.04 to 18.0412:08
bamb9Seems pretty easy12:09
bamb9:')12:09
coz_bamb9, but I have never tried this, so, if anything occurs come back with any errors. someone should be able to help12:09
bamb9I have a server in production, will be safe to run the upgrade directly in productino?12:09
TJ-bamb9: if you're going to do TWO release-upgrades (14.04 > 16.04 >18.04) there will be a LOT of changes so set aside a day for dealing with them!12:09
bamb9Ah shit12:09
coz_caca ")12:10
TJ-bamb9: never! if there's a production system that needs to stay running it should be clustered12:10
bamb9So your advice guys is to upgrade instead of put my hands on how to install php7 on the current 14.04 machine?12:10
coz_bamb9, my opinion, probably, but I would wait for conformation from others about that12:11
bamb9Thanks :) let's wait other answers12:12
TJ-bamb9: trying to install a non-standard version will end in tears12:12
ayewif you went to 16.04 youd probably have better luck getting php712:12
TJ-bamb9: there is a sneaky way around it. That is to create a container with 16.04 or 18.04 in it (using LXD) where it'll have php7 ... then set up a HTTP reverse-proxy in the host web config to call on the container where the PHP7 code is. That does depend on it being a fairly isolated requirement. If there is a database to interact with you'd have to configure the container to  talk over IP sockets12:14
TJ-to the host's DB server12:14

pragmaticenigmaMonona: The last comment from someone here was from ioria: Monona  if you're still there,  i think that maybe your webcam is hw disabled; check if you have a key combo to activate it or check your bios13:16

bamb91"Your server is running PHP version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.20 but WordPress 5.3.2 requires at least 5.6.20."13:17
pragmaticenigmabamb91: php5.x is no longer supported. the current version is 7.x ... what version of Ubuntu are you running?13:17
Bromitepgnd: yeah have that article open, does that mean i need to manually enable logging to systemd?13:18
pragmaticenigma!eol | bamb91: Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer supported either. There is no support available here13:18
ubottubamb91: Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer supported either. There is no support available here: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/E13:18
bamb9114.0413:19
bamb91Ok so no way.13:19
bamb91Need to upgrade13:19
bamb91Time to upgrade13:19
lotuspsychjebamb91: upgrading from an eol version is risky13:19
pragmaticenigmabamb91: correct... you are running a system that has not received updates during a rather critical time. My recommendation is to start from scratch13:19
bamb91I have a production server running13:20
bamb91With 14.0413:20
pragmaticenigmabamb91: My concern is that you have been running that as a webserver and it is possible that a less honerable person may have compromised the system13:20
bamb91Is bugged?13:21
bamb91With easy holes?13:21
pgndBromite: redirect go app unit's stdout to syslog,  as in the example13:21
lotuspsychjeyou are the admin of your system bamb91 you are responsible?13:21
pragmaticenigmabamb91: think swiss cheese... take the server offline and start over from scratch. Wordpress has instructions on how to migrate your data. look that up to ensure your site content is preserved13:22
pgndby default, it's piped to jounal anyway ...13:22
bamb91No I have to install a fresh new wp13:26
Bromitepgnd: hmm i put the logging code into my .service file, but journalctl only shows the starting/stopping of the app13:26
bamb91but I have other stuff on the server13:26
bamb91django,nginx,postgres,redis13:26
bamb91For the "real web app"13:27
bamb91I was about to start the blog, but then I got this shitty message from wp..13:27
pgndBromite: can you demonstrate that your app logs what you want to stdout when launched in foreground?13:29
pgndtest with a simple go app, e.g. 'go-syslog'13:29
Bromitepgnd: oh, seems like it isn't logging output now for some reason13:32
Bromitei swear it was logging requests last time i checked (by running ./myapp)13:32
PCatineanHey guys, how can I test the performance of an NTFS mount for IOPS and latency?13:34
Ranger15Does anyone know of a app that does macro/scripts/etc and not from shell.. From the desktop...????????????13:35
Mononalotuspsychje: Still haven't been able to figure it out.13:36
Ranger15you can watch your disk performance with iostat -t 3 /dev/sd*13:36
lotuspsychjeMonona: allright, check what pragmaticenigma suggested13:36
PCatineanRanger15, it's an ntfs mount to a directory13:36
Mononapragmaticenigma: AFAIK, there is no key combo to activate it, and it looks like it's enabled in BIOS.13:36
Ranger15PCatinean -- your can do the same for USB drives, SAN, NAS, any type of disk.13:38
BluesKajlestac, https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/13:38
pgndPCatinean: pkg 'fio' is helpful13:40
PCatineanpgnd, I have it installed the docker image I am using13:41
pragmaticenigmaMonona: without the kernel identifying the camera, I don't have any other ideas or suggestions. You might have to pick up a USB web cam instead13:49
lotuspsychjeMonona: have we tryed a journalctl -f and plug out/back in yet to see the errors?13:49
lotuspsychjeoh internal cam right13:50

ducasseRanger15: what kind of macros/scripts are you talking about?13:50
pgndnp13:50
Bromitei was using gin.New() instead of gin.Default(), which apparently doesn't log requests13:50
Mononapragmaticenigma: I think the camera is showing up on lsusb now, and wasn't before. https://pastebin.com/20hN4XLj  I think it's the Sunplus13:51

Mononalotuspsychje: Could you remind me of the command to dump dmesg direct to a pastebin?13:55
lotuspsychje!pastebinit | Monona13:55
ubottuMonona: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit13:55

Mononahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KnvmWHGjB8/13:57
lotuspsychjeMonona: did you check the hp website yet for bios updates for your machine?13:58
Mononalotuspsychje: Not yet. I'm not super familiar with the bios but when I looked at it, camera was enabled.13:59
lotuspsychjeMonona: can you recall if other kernels ever made your webcam work?13:59
Mononalotuspsychje:  I think so, but I haven't used the webcam much before recently.  I remember using Cheese to test it and it worked, but I have no idea what kernel that was.14:01
lotuspsychjeMonona: could you do a test with like a liveusb 18.04 to see if it works?14:01

banisterfiendhi14:06
banisterfiendhi guys -- on linux (ubuntu) i have a ridiculous name for my wifi interface...wlps02 or something....ohw do i persmanently change it so it's something easier like w0 ?14:06
bluesj0tWhy would you need to change that?14:09
=== ben_r_ is now known as ben_r
pragmaticenigmabanisterfiend: attempting to change that interface name will cause problems. It is assigned by the kernel, and may cause problems later with updates and other network management tasks14:12
banisterfiendbluesj0t: because it's a very long and inconvenient name, and i need to type it regularly14:13
banisterfiendon my other box it'sjuts "eth0" which is much easier, and on macos it's "en0"14:14
pragmaticenigmabanisterfiend: you can try adding this to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" in your grub config: net.ifnames=014:14
pragmaticenigmabanisterfiend: just be away, you're disabling a feature to make something work the way you want14:15
pragmaticenigma*aware14:15
banisterfiendpragmaticenigma: why on some distros is it something convenient like eth0 ?14:17
pgndbanisterfiend: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/14:17
pgndconvenient != reliably consistent14:17
banisterfiendi just HATE having to type ot that stupid confusing name every time i need to interact with that interface14:18
pragmaticenigmanet.ifnames is a feature of the kernel to ensure that the network interface always receives the same name inbetween reboots. On a personal system where you're not likely to be addnig and removing cards, it's probably going to be okay14:18
ikarus987Hi guys, i installed ubuntu on my machine using unetbootin i installed it on m.2 drive ssd. -once i installed it and it asks me to reboot. i reboot....and i get booted into the windows 10 hard drive. SO i go in bios to look for the m.2 ssd hard drive to change the boot order. But i dont see it anywhere :( so i go in Windows10 go into disk management and there i see "the m.2 drive" i have14:21
ikarus987partitioned into /root /home and swap.  Next i went into grub and tried to look for my hard disk and there i only find " HD0 , HD1 , HD2 (HD0,MSDOS1) , (HD1, msdos4)... etc14:21
ikarus987the reason i am using unetbootin is because i dont have "USB DRIVE" :<14:22
ikarus987and why are the filesystems all ext2 ??? in grub14:23
TheFuzzballI'm running Ubuntu Server 18.04 on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I'm having trouble with controlling the PoE HAT fan. I should be able to configure the temperature the fan turns on in /boot/firmware/config.txt, but it doesn't seem to take effect14:29
TheFuzzballI have: dtparam=poe_fan_temp0=70000,poe_fan_temp1=78000,poe_fan_temp0_hyst=70000,poe_fan_temp1_hyst=7800014:30
pgndikarus987: did you create the parts _as_ ext4?14:30
ikarus987yes i did14:30
ikarus987what i am thinking is14:31
TheFuzzball`vcgencmd measure_temp` tells me the temperature is 45c, which is well below the threshold, and the fan is on14:31
pgndare you seeing the grub menu at all on boot?14:31
ikarus987nope14:31
ikarus987it's just a terminal14:31
ikarus987grup>14:31
ikarus987like that14:31
pgndefi ?14:31
ikarus987see here is the story14:32
ikarus987u know unetbootin right?14:32
pgndare you booting uefi?14:32
ikarus987it installs bootloader i think on top of currently used Windows 10 hard drive14:32
ikarus987so when i booted my pc  for the first time (before installing ubuntu)14:33
ikarus987i get 2 options Windows10 or unetbooting14:33
ikarus987i chose unetbooting and from there i installed ubuntu14:33
ikarus987the way i go into grub at the moment is14:34
ikarus987i go into bios and choose "uefi hard drive b "  then there is also another one called "hard drive b"14:35
ikarus987the are not actually named "hard drive b" i am using shortening14:35
ikarus987i mean it shouldn't matter from where grub is running, correct ?14:36
ikarus987grub is outside the scope of hard drives and man other things14:37

Mononapgnd: Looks potentially promising, but slightly above my head.  Should I start by executing 'sudo rmmod uvcvideo; modprobe uvcvideo quirks=0x080'?14:54
Mononalotuspsychje: re: guvcview? It's installed, but I'm not real familiar with what it can do.14:55
lotuspsychjeMonona: just launching it, should open your cam + alot of settings14:55
pgndMonona: is your camera currently recognized, or not?14:56

Mononapgnd: I think it's recognized but not working. It shows up in the preferences in Cheese, and in lsusb, but doesn't work.14:57
pgndThe 'sudo rmmod uvcvideo; modprobe uvcvideo quirks=0x080' is non-persistent.14:57
pgndAt best, you camera becomes active, and you've luckily ID'd your culprit.14:57
pgndAt worst, you lock up & have to reboot.14:57
pgndThat's what I'd likely try as a 1st shot across the bow ...14:57

onio Hi I am using Ubuntu mate 18.04 and I want to use meld to compare directory and file from Caja file manager any idea how to go about setting this up16:49
lotuspsychjeonio: you could ask the #ubuntu-mate channel16:49
oniolotuspsychje, I have not getting a response so decided to check here16:50
pavlosonio: did you sudo apt install meld16:51
oniopavlos yes16:51
oerheksmeld has its own gui, right?16:51
oerhekshttps://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/beginners-guide-to-visual-merge-tool-meld-on-linux/16:52
pavlosonio: check that you have all reqs installed16:52
oniooerheks, I know what I am looking for is the ability to integrate this with caja for easy use16:52
pavlosonio: you might need to restart caja and a differences button will appear ...16:54
onioso I would like to go to my file manage click on a directory and then have a context menu that allow me to select another one for a compare using tool of my choice16:54
rodrigoty23does anybosy know how to make clementine media player remember last windowposition?16:54
oerheksnope, no such thing, as there is no meld plugin; write one?16:54
oniopavlos, no it does not. I have been using meld for number of years now. I just got bored today of having to open up the gui just compare two directory. I know I can do this on commandline but want to do it all from caja16:56
lotuspsychjerodrigoty23: did you check clementine settings? see also #clementine16:56
oniofrom a command line I can type "meld dir1 dir2" and this would do what I want16:57
akemSounds easy enough.16:57
oniobut I was thinking of something along the option that beyond compare gives16:57
rodrigoty23lotuspsychje, i checked that settings and no it wasnt there nor was the clementine channel alive!16:57
oerheksclementine remembers to open full screen on my gnome desktop.16:58
rodrigoty23oerheks, thats was supposed to be the default behavior!16:59
oerheksclear ~.cache/clementine/ and ~/.config/clementine ? you loose all settings and databases, though17:01
rodrigoty23oerheks, i did that already and even restarted and still nothing!17:05
pavlosonio: have you seen this ... https://github.com/yselkowitz/caja-pyextensions/blob/master/default-pyextensions/meld-compare.py17:06
pgndrodrigoty23: using gnome?17:11
rodrigoty23pgnd, yup17:12
pgndiirc, doesn't gsettings/dconf-editor give you easy editable access to per-app desktop knobs?  including window geometry?  I'm on KDE, where it's a different process ...17:12
pgndthere's a ~/.config/gtk3/settings.ini (or something similar) that might be useful.  dunno if that's only system-wide ...17:15
BlakesSevenHey all I have a directory I'm sharing that I can't write to. On the host system the permissions are set to allow the user to write to it. It works.

oerheksmaybe i am wrong, samba prevents the use of 777?17:31
ducassesamba might be set to share it as read-only?17:31
BlakesSevenI've also tried 077517:31
pavlosdo you AUTH with samba? if you're a guest, you could add "guest ok = yes" to the [share] and restart samba17:32

XsiSecthanks checking the documentation though I think I need some adjustments18:55
XsiSechow could I clean following command? --> to more simple --> ${goto 20}Free${goto 85}${execi 10 nvidia-smi -i 0 -q -d MEMORY,UTILIZATION,POWER,CLOCK,COMPUTE | grep -E '(^|[^0-9])[0-9]{4}($|[^0-9])' | grep "Free" | cut -c 39-50}${goto 115}Mb19:03
pavlosXsiSec: my example: https://termbin.com/sh9ag ... memory-usage is 84/1023 (you need to parse the FB Memery Usage (you can also outout in csv19:03
XsiSecpavlos, I used your command but my issue is that I have to topics called "Free" the only thing that differ em its a 4 digit / 3 digit group19:04
sentinel1980hi everyone !19:07
pavlosXsiSec: so look for "FB Memory Usage" and cut that line +2 below, then parse Total and Used ... nvidia-smi -q -d MEMORY | grep -A 2 "FB Memory Usage"19:08
TJ-XsiSec: do you want *just* the numbers, or the numbers and the MiB after them?19:09
AlligatorJoewell snap did not work on the download program...it quit prematurely and gave me an error that said "unexpected end of file"19:10
XsiSecI want the Mib after as well19:11
TJ-XsiSec: pipe the output into:  ... | egrep -o '| *[[:digit:]]+MiB +/ +[[:digit:]]+MiB'19:11
AlligatorJoeso i suspect the snap code is not in very good shape at this time19:11
XsiSecTJ-, should I base your statement after nvidia-smi -q -d MEMORY ?19:12
AlligatorJoeso this should be a relevant ubuntu comment for the channel19:12
XsiSecno result if I do that19:12
TJ-XsiSec: yes19:12
XsiSecnvidia-smi -q -d  egrep -o '| *[[:digit:]]+MiB +/ +[[:digit:]]+MiB'  , gives  nothing  :S19:12
TJ-XsiSec: I saved your pastebin output to a file and 'cat'ed it through that expression and it gave me:  "    418MiB /  4042MiB"19:13
XsiSecsure 1 sek19:13
AlligatorJoelooks like the snap store will have to wait until the snap code improves where a snap program can be downloaded19:13
XsiSecTJ-, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rZtFwQQ2tB/19:14
TJ-XsiSec: are you sure nvidia-smi is writing to stdout? it could be using stderr? use |& instead of | just in case19:14
XsiSecnot familiar with stderr19:14
TJ-XsiSec: oh! your output is different now to the original!19:14
TJ-XsiSec: I was working on http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KkGmktFyyQ/plain/19:14
XsiSeccant login have no account srry19:15
TJ-XsiSec: I was working on http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KkGmktFyyQ/19:15
TJ-XsiSec: sorry; I linked you to the plain-text version19:15
AlligatorJoeapparently the snap code doesn't handle slow internet connections very well19:16
AlligatorJoeat least snap seems to be a problem on the ubuntu os....i am not sure about the redhat os19:20
pavlosXsiSec: TJ-'s egrep works fine, I get      84MiB /  1023MiB19:21
XsiSecstrange19:25
XsiSecI dont get anything :S19:25
TJ-XsiSec: show us the actual command you're executing19:27

mas886I need a bit of help, for some reason my system cannot find any sound "input or output device" so I can't hear anything. I'm on a laptop with the integrated sound card. On the same system, double boot with Win 10, the sound works perfectly. It's weird because a couple of days ago it used to work.19:41
TJ-XsiSec: there's your problem then - I was working with the orginal output of "nvidia-smi" not "nvidia-smi -q -d MEMORY"19:41
pavlosXsiSec: the command should be nvidia-smi | egrep -o '| *[[:digit:]]+MiB +/ +[[:digit:]]+MiB'19:42
oerheksthis is an annoying current bug https://launchpad.net/bugs/186780319:42

mas886is there any way I can solve it? Not having sound is kind of a problem19:44
oerheksuse the 43 in proposed, or roll back a kernel during boot19:44

mas886oerheks: okay, will try, thanks!19:46
XsiSecThanks pavlos worked fine now19:47
pavlosXsiSec: TJ- did the work, !cookie19:47
XsiSecHow would you even simplefy it to catch 504Mib or 4042MiB?19:48
TJ-XsiSec: you mean get only one value?19:48
XsiSecyeah19:48
pavlosXsiSec: it is looking for one or more digits ending in MiB19:48
TJ-XsiSec: for the 1st field: ...  | egrep -o '| *[[:digit:]]+MiB +/ +[[:digit:]]+MiB' | cut -d \/ -f 119:49
XsiSeceither 504MiB or 4042MiB notice the first group is always a group of 3 digits+3 letter and the last group is a static value19:49
TJ-XsiSec: for the 2nd field: ... | egrep -o '| *[[:digit:]]+MiB +/ +[[:digit:]]+MiB' | cut -d \/ -f 219:49

geniiI'm not sure why you aren't just calling nvidia-smi with the switches that report back the values you are currently trying to grep19:50
TJ-XsiSec: so you're just adding to the end another pipe19:50
XsiSecworks flawless19:50
=== energizer_ is now known as energizer
pavlosXsiSec: another way ... nvidia-smi --query-gpu=memory.total,memory.used --format=csv,noheader ... you get 1023 MiB, 84 MiB20:08

RoseBushello, is there a way to get figerprint reader working for ubuntu login?20:33
M_aDRoseBus: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/session-fingerprint.html.en20:35
AlericI keep running into a kernel bug... I need to start working on that, but in order to do that I need to be able to compile my own kernel. So far all my attempts have failed :(. Is there a good howto somewhere please that explains exactly how to compile your own (ubuntu) kernel?20:36
RoseBusM_aD, the fingerprint setting is not visible in that menu20:37
M_aDthen i don't know20:37
M_aDtry to search on the web a bit, there might be a solution somewhere20:38
RoseBusokay i think the problem is the drivers are not available on ubuntu20:41
rfmAleric, I haven't done this for a while, but when I did I followed the Debian guide and it seemed to go OK. https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official20:41
Alericthx20:41
RoseBusi'm using dell xps 9570, how can i find the ubuntu dev forum related to ubuntu drivers for on-board hardware for xps15 957020:42
oerheksif hte sensor is not listen in https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/ubuntu/fingerprint-gui   -- or -- https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html20:46
oerhekseven the https://github.com/JackHack96/dell-xps-9570-ubuntu-respin  page says no20:47
AlericIs 'cp -pr' as root good to make a backup of /usr/share ?21:01
RoseBusit appears there isn't a working driver for xps 9570 fingerprint reader21:03
RoseBussad :(21:03
AlericHmm, I guess cp -a should work.21:04
pavlosI prefer rsync -avz since I can send the backup to a remote system21:07
AlericMy /usr was 99% full - I moved /usr/share to another partition now, instead of waiting for some 'apt upgrade' to fail :p.21:15
AlligatorJoeAleric isn't /usr/share where all the docs and sample files are or is ubuntu different21:19
AlericIt contains non-architecture stuff mostly, not just docs.21:20
AlligatorJoeAleric well you might want to keep some of it online such as the sample sound files for testing your sound hardware in case of kernel sound problems21:21
AlericI used a symlink - many application won't work without /usr/share21:21
AlligatorJoeAleric ok21:22
AlligatorJoeAleric i was looking at the ubuntu recommended boot-repair-cd  as a useful tool in case grub gets perturbed...but the thing is about 700 megabytes so i will have to wait a while before i can even attempt to download that size of a file.21:26
WoCWhich channel would be recommended for ubuntu on a former ChromeOS chromebook (ARM64) ?21:33
AlligatorJoeWoc  Ha Ha Ha...that is very funny21:34
AlligatorJoeWoc that reminds me of people running linux kernels on old nintendo hardware21:35
WoC;] didnt know about that one21:38
AlligatorJoeWoc..yep they turned an old nintendo snes into a linux web server and database server21:39
akemWoC, You'll probably have better luck on forums or other websites. It's not very common.21:40
AlligatorJoeWoc that was back in the days before the dot-com bust....when people were excited about running linux on all kinds of platforms21:40
akemYou can still ask here anyway as long as it is about Ubuntu.21:41
WoCk, can i still just download the iso, dd to a sdcard and try booting it, even on arm64 ?21:42
AlligatorJoeWoc does it have UEFI or Legacy Bios support to give you boot options for an sdcard21:43
oerheksWoC, netboot or server21:44
akemChromebooks are pretty weird, i think you can't just boot an ARM ISO like if it was a PC.21:48
akemhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/356243/true-ubuntu-on-chromebook-arm It's a bit old but there is maybe interesting stuff.21:48
AlligatorJoeakem ...why not21:48
AlligatorJoeakem in any case it must have some serial support or ethernet interface to use with a debian netboot approach21:49
akemAlligatorJoe, Not sure i can be wrong, just a guess from what i read online, i never got to use a Chromebook.21:49
AlligatorJoeakem...well i have never seen one either21:50
AlericARGH - what is the git url for the LATEST kernel?? The last thing I can find is v5.5 from januari :/21:59
Aleric5.5.11 is out, so where is the git of that?22:01
tripelb18.04 Is this a bug or a feature? I can drag a window bottom BELOW the bottom edge of the screen and then I cant grab it to bring it up again. (yes, I did use alt-grab to bring the entire window up. I m not asking how to save the day.) So does that mean that my dispay monitor is set wrong? How to fix? -- HP ProBook laptop.22:01
tripelb18.04 - I didnt have the 3-dots menu at the end of the url line in chrome. then I had it so I said NM. Now I dont? What the figtree?22:03
tripelbThat IS the menubar.22:04
oerhekstry the mainline kernel, but carefull, just for testing, not supported here22:04
oerheks!mainline22:04
ubottuThe kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds22:04
Alericoerheks: that doesn't give the git url either22:05
AlericThat is, I'm trying to build the latest ubuntu kernel - not the upstream kernel from git.kernel.org.22:11
AlericSeems to me that ubuntu just stops at 5.3 on almost any webpage you can find.22:11
WoCi might have to use qemu to install to an image file, convert cow2 to raw and dd the image to an sdcard22:18

Bromitewhy can i not access /var/www/html/example?22:42
Bromiteit gives 40422:42
Bashing-omBromite: ?? "/var/www/html/example" is local to your system. What is your goal here ?22:46
BromiteBashing-om: i want users to be able to access "http://example.com/mydir"22:51
BromiteBashing-om: also, apache isn't logging requests anymore, not sure what i've done22:51
Bashing-omBromite: Well, now you are confusing what is accessed how. "http://example.com/mydir" is a internet address that one access via a web browser. Not local to your server.22:53
BromiteBashing-om: sorry, i mean to say that /var/www/html/mydir is local to my server, and i want users to be able to access "http://example.com/mydir/index.html"22:55
Bromitewell to be clear, apache is only logging requests to the server ip, not via the domain23:00
rfmBromite, that sounds like the domain isn't resolving to your ip (on the meachine you're making the request from)23:02
oerheksdid you changed the server ip in your domain recently? it could take some time to update?23:02
Bromitealso, http://X.X.X.X/mydir works, but https://some-dns-domain/mydir doesn;t23:02
oerhekshow about hard ip?23:02
Bromitethe server is using some dns service i believe23:02
Bromitemaybe that's why23:02
R0b0t1``hi I'm on ubuntu live environment and systemd-resolve fell over and won't resolve anything. I'm on gfiber, unknown what network settings caused this.23:11
R0b0t1``I need to be able to dl stuff...23:11
R0b0t1``thinking autoinstall would fail also23:11
tripelb18.04 - I didnt have the 3-dots menu at the end of the url line in chrome. then I had it so I said NM. Now I dont? What the figtree?23:12
AlligatorJoeRObOt1...can you ping the ip4 numbers of some website like slashdot.org or ubuntu's website to see if it is just a resolve issue23:24
R0b0t1``AlligatorJoe: yeah I can23:26
R0b0t1``AlligatorJoe: it's totally just a resolve issue23:26
AlligatorJoeRObOt1 ok sounds like it to me too.23:27
R0b0t1``like the fix is "upgrade systemd" but all I have are these two old install dvds and I need to download a new one23:27
R0b0t1``found the bug on gh I think23:28
AlligatorJoeRObOt1..yes that is a catch 22...but you can still download a new version of systemd..by using only ip numbers23:28
R0b0t1``ffff23:29
R0b0t1``guess I'mma have to get a different distro's fix-a-install-cd23:30
AlligatorJoeRObOt just look up the ip numbers of whatever website distro you choose and type the http://ip#  to get to file download in your browser and it should still download fine for you23:31
akemAs a temporary fix you can try to set something like google DNS to /etc/resolv.conf : nameserver 8.8.8.823:32
akemOr openDNS but i don't remember the IPs. See if it works...23:32
R0b0t1``ok, will see if I have sudo power as guest account23:33
AlligatorJoeRObOt1...my browser is tied up now so i can't give you the ip numbers of some websites for you to try but maybe someone else can or i can later23:36
AlligatorJoeRObOt1 all they have to do is google "reverse dns lookup" and it will give sites that can give the ip numbers of any dns name you like23:38
AlericR0b0t1``: wget ftp://129.132.53.171/ubuntu/pool/main/s/systemd/systemd_237-3ubuntu10.38_amd64.deb23:38
AlericThat's ubuntu.ethz.ch23:40
