[00:30] I like mutt okay [00:30] ok [00:30] claws-mail [00:31] ok [00:31] neteffect: There are many - I use sylpheed. [00:31] mutt i s nice .. https://snapcraft.io/search?q=mail [00:31] Any pointers on getting a 4K monitor to work with Xubuntu 16.04? [00:31] but there are more :-) [00:32] yes i noticed :D ok cool im checking these out === JumpinJack_ is now known as JumpinJack === anon is now known as JavascriptFan229 === JavascriptFan229 is now known as JavascriptFanBoi [01:25] hello everyone. [01:25] my kern.log file is jammed in by these error logs [01:25] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rW23ZMY677/ [01:25] it pops up every minute [01:27] searches related to acer_wmi all point at the same direction, blacklist acer_wmi. And in almost all of them there was some problem related to wifi. however, my wifi seems to be working correctly. I don't understand if i should just blindly block it [01:30] Anybody here have experience setting up serial port terminal access? I can't seem to find a "how to" guide which works with 16.04 [01:37] im having stupid issues with boot. Ive used boot-repair and grub customizer - Im having issues with boot locations. I had a multi boot system - but -- i tried to reinstall one of them. - Anyways. I appear to have two grubs.... - Boot repair refuses to work even with using it on a live usb. - When used in advanced. It see''s the boot i've rcently created, but not the one thats preventing me from booting. [01:38] UserGuy, can you elaborate on "serial port terminal access"? Are you trying to log into the Ubuntu system from a terminal plugged into a serial port on the Ubuntu system? [01:39] UserGuy, or are you trying to connect out from something running on the Ubuntu system to a device connected to a serial port? [01:39] im curretnly on a live usb.. [01:40] I am trying to log on to a machine running Lubuntu 16.04 using the serial port. [01:41] I have been successful in using minicom to verify that the hardware is working. I can type into the terminal and see it on minicom. But getting a login access is proving difficult and confusing for me. [01:42] UserGuy, probably there is not a getty spawned for the port. I found something that talks about setting up gettys on systemd... [01:42] UserGuy: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html -- scroll past the console stuff to "serial terminals" [01:43] UserGuy, note I've never tried this (I don't think I have any systems with serial ports anymore...) [01:45] rfm, oh yes. lots of info there apparently. thank you. [01:46] is it possible to run mIRC in linux using some kind of emulator? [01:47] JoeLlama: It is better to use a native application. HexChat is a popular choice [01:47] can I open 50 channels in windows and also be on 7 networks at the same time using hexchat? [01:48] yes [01:48] neat [01:48] Yes, much easier than a browser [01:48] easier than mIRC? [01:48] JoeLlama: Bet you could get it setup and running about 3 minutes... a few more to get all the networks configured with your authentication [01:49] I have a lot of scripting files :( [01:50] so like. emulator? [01:50] JoeLlama: many years ago. mirc worked with wine [01:50] I've had an mIRC license since forever [01:50] many of them may import JoeLlama [01:50] like the 90's [01:50] oh ok wine yup [01:50] is wine hard to set up? [01:51] JoeLlama: try and find out [01:51] I think eventually pragmaticenigma that would be the plan [01:51] not terribly hard to setup wine... [01:51] !wine [01:51] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:51] o k deww [01:51] ok thans pragmaticenigma too :) [01:51] afk for a bit [01:52] JoeLlama: "sudo apt install wine64" [01:52] oh ok easy :) [01:52] even if it's slow, irc clients generally have little overhead [01:56] seems the mirc developer put a lot of effort into keeping it compatible with wine [01:56] * greatgatsby was researching irc clients earlier today [01:57] upon entering lsmod | grep acer_wmi into the terminal i get this output: [01:57] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pktFFDq7VT/ [01:57] what is sparse_keymap? [01:58] does it control my FN+xx functionality? [02:00] it's kinda weird that resolvconf doesn't keep up. i have to manually execute resolvconf -u from the cli at least once a day in order for dns to keep working. [02:04] JoeLlama, wine's name is a funny recursive acronym: Wine Is Not an Emulator (it's much better and drastically faster than an emulator) [02:10] I've never done it before...so how much would I expect to change if I installed 20.04 now instead of waiting a month? [02:29] i ended up with claws mail, looks good. I did try sylpheed and maybe i wasn't patient enough. [02:29] \o/ neteffect [02:30] o/ [02:33] how can I run geforce now on linux [02:33] I know this cant be done directly [02:35] Aktive: Base Nvidia is well supported - what is your issue ? [02:37] if anyone knows how i can run geforce now [02:38] what is the easiest way === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly === zbenjamin is now known as Guest1515 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:52] is there a way that I can run windows 10 in linux with hardware acceleration 3D [02:53] Aktive: use Wine? [02:53] for what ? [02:53] for running windows under linux with hw 3d [02:53] isn't that what oyu asked? :P [02:54] how can you run windows in wine ? [02:54] join #winehq [02:54] no thats not what I mean [02:54] lol [02:54] I need to run windows on inux with hardware acceleration [02:54] linux [02:54] maybe you should ask your question better [02:55] because I'm pretty sure I gave you the right answer [02:55] oke [02:55] unless you mean a windows vm under vbox / vmware / etc [02:55] yes [02:55] but generally, wine is how you run windows apps on linux, and the support for 3d is pretty decent [02:55] geforce now doesnt work on wine [02:56] if you want to run a vm... well, 1) ask that next time, and 2) just install the vm [02:56] well not everything is 100%, but they certainly do a lot [02:56] in any case, geforce now doesn't use 3d acceleartion [02:56] it downloads video of you playing on the cloud servers [02:56] streams* [02:56] yes it does [02:56] or [02:56] hardware encoding [02:57] or whatever [02:57] that's completely different [02:57] *decoding [02:57] hmmm [02:57] oke [02:58] but it still needs gpu [02:58] "gpu" [02:58] I run it on a barebones macbook [02:58] you ca use intel hd 530 grpahics if you really want [02:58] yes, this is what it says [02:59] point is, it doens't need anything fancy [02:59] in any case, if you are trying to get geforce now running under wine, ask in #winehq [02:59] This error code means the Geforce NOW app is unable to find a graphics processing unit c.Blo af docadung tho vudoa farmT ESOD BP ,,, [03:00] no its not working, already lookd at wine db [03:01] lol [03:01] capable of decoding the video format ....

It fails everytime with this error "Giving up after 5 attempts. Error: gdata-service-error-quark: Authentication required: Unauthorized (4)" [04:20] I am pretty sure I am authenticated as it is able to download about 30% of the data and then it fails with this error? [04:22] Is it a particular file that needs special authorization? I have the less secure apps enabled in my Google account! === bokobelic__ is now known as monojamoon| [05:05] I have returned to say that you people are awesome! [05:07] I read all the links provided to me about setting up Serial Port login to a Ubuntu machine. I managed to get it working on all 4 serial port terminals. [05:12] UserGuy: you still remember who helped you? [05:13] first time here so not familiar with any nicks. but it was a very short one. 3 characters i believe. started with r i think. [05:16] seems rfm is the only one here who meets those criteria right now. looks familiar. probably was. [05:19] i became so excited upon seeing the light at the end of the tunnel that i sorta just hopped off IRC and went reading and typing and testing [05:43] I've never done it before...so how much would I expect to change if I installed 20.04 now instead of waiting a month?\ [05:44] !final | beatleboy07 [05:44] beatleboy07: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Focal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 20.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade » in a terminal. [05:44] beatleboy07: join #ubuntu+1 for more info [05:45] What is #ubuntu+1? [05:45] beatleboy07: the 20.04 support channel [05:45] Oh cool. [05:45] Thanks! [05:45] I'm using Manjaro. But decided I want to work with a more mainstream distro. [05:46] What is broken with dpkg when it wants to unpack a package over one that isn't installed? [05:48] I had a system run out of space and it got quite unhappy... fsck is clean but it keeps device locking attempting to install linux-headers-4.15.0-91. Antique I know but I need to upgrade through it... [05:53] Delemas: Please !pastebin the output of the commands you're running. [05:55] I'm simply trying to do an apt-get install -f. It's going through and attempting to install the kernel set linux-*-4.15.0-91*. [05:56] Every time it starts unpacking linux-headers-4.15.0-91-generic it devices locks 2% in and never returns. [05:57] Delemas: use a pastebin of your whole apt output what you are trying, as Jordan_U adviced [05:58] That's rather challenging in a virtualbox console on another system... [05:59] !info pastebinit | Delemas [05:59] Delemas: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.1-1 (eoan), package size 13 kB, installed size 152 kB [05:59] I cannot install anything on the system... [06:00] Delemas: ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ; df -h ' give any hints ? [06:01] linux-generic-hwe-16.04 was updated which is what is triggering the updated kernels to install. [06:01] sec I'll try that... [06:02] Delemas: No fix - just info to maybe point to where the root of the issue lies . [06:03] iU linux-headers-4.15.0-91 and iHR linux-headers-4.15.0.91-generic [06:04] Currently 1 CPU is pegged due to a device locked dpkg trying to install linux-headers-4.15.0-91-generic [06:04] Delemas: Gonna have to fix the kernels - then remove old ones, what kerenl is booted presently - as we can not mess with the currently booted kernel. uname -r . [06:05] Clearly something is going south during unpackaging. I've got one working kernel left. [06:05] I meant unpacking... [06:06] The current kernel is 4.15.0-72 [06:06] generic if it matters. [06:10] Delemas: How well can you read command syntax ? As is with no info, I can give you a handy dandy that you must adapt to your install situation. [06:10] System managed to fill it's root with old kernels which was impressive... [06:11] Delemas: Is it possible that you have a separate /boot/ partition? [06:11] I'm pretty good normally. I haven't seen this failure mode before. [06:11] Delemas: Once you have the system stable one can set to "autoremove" that also takes care of old kernels. [06:11] No 16GB / with minimal install. [06:13] I did manage to autoremove the old kernels without issue. Things went south after removing all the VM snapshots in Virtualbox. [06:14] There were 6 snapshots going back 2 years... [06:17] Hi all anyone know if ubuntu studio server is having some issues? its been 2-3hrs and still trying to download. [06:17] Delemas: Do you have curl installed? [06:18] Delemas: Something like: ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image{,-modules,}-4.15.0-{46,49,52}-generic linux-headers-4.15.0-{46,49,52}{,-generic} '. excude the current kernel! Be aware I have no experience with a VM. [06:18] Jordan_U, no. I do have wget though... libcurl3 is there though. [06:19] Bashing-om, that's what I did to uninstall all the old kernels but the current one. [06:24] Delemas: Can you ssh into the guest from the host, so that you can more easily use pastebin? [06:24] Delemas: The install status iu == installed but only Unpacked ; iHR == installed Half installed Reinstall required . [06:26] Bashing-om, I know... I can clean them up with a dpkg --purge --force-all and those two packages but even when I totally clear the apt cache the same problem happens again. [06:29] The drive the VM is using for storage is otherwise good. Smart health check is ok. [06:29] Delemas: Jordan_U has the fresher mind - as he is willing, might be best to follow his lead. in the end we want that all files in /usr/src/, /lib/modules/, and /boot to match. [06:30] It's 2:30am and tomorrow is a work day. I'm going to have to give up for tonight... Thanks for trying guys. I'll see if I can sort out something paste bin compatible tomorrow. [06:31] Delemas: Good deal - we be here in the event there is still an issue :D === sauvin_ is now known as Sauvin [06:32] oh what the heck. It suddenly undevice locked and finished the install after many hours.... [06:33] i am trying to setup Virtual host on my ubuntu 18.4 desktop.. but after all steps its throwing "Unable to connect" [07:16] Hello, #ubuntu community! Glad to come back here again after so many years. [07:16] welcome back Malsasa [07:17] lotuspsychje wow, thanks for welcoming me! I wish you all safe and sound in this worldwide emergency situation. [07:17] thank you Malsasa feel free to also join #ubuntu-discuss [07:18] lotuspsychje wow, a new channel to me. Thanks a lot. [07:18] lotuspsychje I am still using 16.04 today. [07:18] What about you? [07:18] Malsasa: lets discuss that in the channel i linked you === md_5- is now known as md_5 [07:19] I have a laptop which's graphics card got some issue and is not fixable. So the screen and external monitor doesn't work. I want to install ubuntu or ubuntu server on it. How can I do it? [07:20] lotuspsychje oh, thanks, sorry for my ignorance. It feels like too long time since I left IRC for Telegram. [07:21] dhsathiya: you might be able to ssh into the box. It's esentially a headless system [07:22] i have never tried to ssh with off of an install disk - I suppose you can though [07:23] It had Windows installed in it. I have to do install Ubuntu without any inputs. Like attach USB and Installation starts and at the end add my SSH key. [07:29] Is it possible to remove ownership from a folder and all of it's sub folders so anyone can read/write them? [07:31] Drecondius, hello, I think it is possible though changing the permission instead of ownership. [07:31] i know chown -R but i don't want any owners so it can be freely written from multiple sources [07:34] Drecondius, speaking honestly, doing chmod -R 777 to a folder will make it freely writable from multiple sources. [07:34] Drecondius, however, in server, that practice is bad for security as far as I know. [07:35] it's only going to be done on an external hdd, which, shouldn't have any permissions defined as it's ntfs [07:36] i'm going to attach it to my modem to use as a household nas of sorts [07:36] but right now, my pi has mucked up permissions on the disk making it impossible to modify anything on the drive [07:38] Drecondius: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition [07:38] Ok, I forgot i reflashed my pi and the ssh key changed and now i can't connect to it, anyway i can fix that from the client machine? [07:39] Dragnslcr: password auth is disabled? then no [07:39] password auth still works [07:40] but this machine won't connect because i usually wait till it's connected to enter the password [07:42] scrap that last question, it told me in the terminal, I just wasn't paying attention [07:48] i don't have to have screen on the client machine to use it on a remote one correct? === EdFletcherT137_ is now known as EdFletcherT137 === EdFletcherT137 is now known as EdFletcher [07:57] so, this is probably a rather stupid question but it didn't catch my eye before. How come apt isn't showing everything that is upgradable anymore? I mean, Software updates says there's an update for ubuntu base but apt update says everything is up to date .. [07:58] !uptodate | Mrhubris [07:58] Mrhubris: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [07:59] that's just my point [07:59] apt update says that everything is up to date [07:59] yet i'm looking at a screen for software updater that clearly has an update for ubuntu base (security indeed) [08:00] Mrhubris: wich ubuntu version and kernel are you on please? [08:00] 19.10 [08:00] !info linux-image-generic eoan [08:00] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.0.42.36 (eoan), package size 2 kB, installed size 16 kB [08:00] Linux desktop 5.3.0-42-generic [08:00] seems about right [08:00] seems good Mrhubris [08:01] Mrhubris: does software centre mention package versions? [08:01] sorry can't remember i installed it it's gone :-) [08:01] Ok, so i was installing tmux remotely, forgot that I was connected, thought i was installing on this machine, and triggered a remote reboot [08:02] can i fix it somehow [08:02] Mrhubris: after an apt update, it should show you how many package can be updated [08:03] well that's what i expected but that wasn't the case today [08:03] Mrhubris: its possible repos were syncing perhaps, did apt give you another warning? [08:03] Drecondius: fix what? [08:04] nope [08:05] Mrhubris: you can use 'apt list --upgradable' to list available upgrades [08:05] well, I thought i was installing tmux locally but was installing it on a remote machine, triggered a reboot on the remote machine during install, but it appears to work because there were no errors when starting tmux [08:05] ducasse: i did. Nothing [08:05] it's not a big problem but it was just weird. I'll keep an eye out for this in the future [08:07] Mrhubris: sometimes there can be discrepancies between apt and the gui tools. if and when this happens i tend to trust apt. [08:09] hello all, I followed this link https://askubuntu.com/questions/975827/whats-a-good-free-vpn-for-ubuntu to install openvpn but doesn't work "connection failed" .. how to resolve that? [08:10] Bluerate, check your ovpn file for the IP address of the server. [08:13] Bluerate, for ease you can use: https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install . I am using it since a while. [08:58] can someone please help me out ... I am connected via OpenVPN to work but the internal DNS keeps dropping in and out. [08:59] this is Ubuntu 18.04 === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [09:11] hello. i just got my hands on a lenovo ideapad S540, and am dealing with some issues. [09:11] when the computer goes to sleep, the screen freezes. [09:11] when the computer goes into suspend, it won't wake up again and requires a reboot. [09:12] and there is no sound. [09:12] sound just says "dummy output" [09:13] i also don't have supercharger feature but that seems to be a general incapability of linux. [09:14] and battery life is far worse (from 18 hours down to 4 hours), albeit i activated auto-switching of graphics and at least now it says 9 hours, but it still rains 1% per minute from just idle. [09:14] dhsathiya: I run the script and generated .ovpn file at home ... how to run that .. I break it up into ca.cert, certifiacte.crt and key.key and import on openvpn configuration but doesn't work [09:15] did i miss something? [09:16] Bluerate: `apt install openvpn` on your local system where you want to use the VPN [09:18] dhsathiya: it's already installed [09:18] Bluerate: Then settings > network. Click on small + icon in the right of the VPN. Select Import from file. Select the .ovpn file [09:18] Bluerate: No need to break the ovpn file. [09:21] hi [09:21] i have a shadow socks config, i don't know how to connect with ss-local (shadowsocks-libev) package [09:21] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZXtQVDq4By/ [09:23] :'( [09:31] dhsathiya: when openvpn is connected, internet is not working.. why [09:33] That's strange. check your ports are open or not. [09:34] Bluerate, Try to ping a domain, then an IP, check your DNS server. [09:38] I'd be thinking DNS [09:38] which ports .. internet is working when openvpn is disconneted [09:41] I know that is insecure.. but my open ports https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tNpY4svFDr/ [09:45] something is wrong on the remote machine [09:45] Does openvpn have an option to set a DNS in the options? [09:45] what do you mean [09:46] which machine [09:47] when you installed openvpn from the link I provided, does it asked for an IP address? [09:50] yes ... check this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/z3ZwtbGmrV/ [09:52] what is the IP address of the machine in which you ran it? In simple terms you have to use the IP address with which you SSH in. [09:53] i.e. Public IP address [10:00] which interface tun0 or wlp2s0 [10:00] I used wlp2s0 inet ip address that was not working as you know [10:02] I am not sure about the interface. [10:02] try tun0 this time. :P [10:03] beiz: did you update your bios to latest? [10:04] lotuspsychje, not sure if there are any [10:05] beiz: check your dmesg, bios date should show there [10:05] can bios be updated from ubuntu? [10:05] Can you run a Linux installer iso from inside ? so you could use the installer with its graphics. I know you can use cronroot and install manually , hard done gentoo and arch. [10:05] !biosupdate | beiz [10:05] beiz: To see how to update your bios on Ubuntu visit the community collected methods here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate [10:07] beiz: some brands and newer computers might offer firmware updates via software centre aswell [10:08] well this computer came out like a month ago [10:08] so maybe [10:10] beiz: if you pastebin your dmesg, volunteers can also take a look for you if you want [10:10] i found bios listing [10:10] BIOS-e820, is that it? [10:11] beiz: found where? [10:11] in the dmesg [10:12] beiz: ah, it should give a date next to it aswell [10:13] https://pastebin.com/6CCmWQvd [10:13] beiz: DMI: LENOVO 81XA/LNVNB161216, BIOS CLCN25WW 10/10/2019 [10:14] dhsathiya: still not working.. [10:14] why update the bios? [10:14] beiz: your no sound issue, might be to a known kernel 5.3 -42 bug, try booting -40 to see if sound works again [10:15] bluerate, used public IP? [10:15] sixwheeledbeast: DNS is set Automatic on IP4 [10:16] I connected over wireless :: 192.168.43.42 this one is used [10:16] ah ok, so maybe you would only need that if you want you DNS queries via the VPN. [10:17] need to make openvpn working at the moment === sauvin is now known as Sauvin [10:19] beiz: you also have secureboot enabled, some unwanted (hardware) behaviour could happen [10:20] Now I am not sure why this is happening. [10:21] can someone please help me out ... I am connected via OpenVPN to work but the internal DNS keeps dropping out after 10min or so. [10:23] here is the output of 'systemd-resolve --status' https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MW2VJf4hwy/ [10:24] here is the output of 'route' https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wSFCJxszpV/ [10:24] lotuspsychje, sound works fine in zorin and arch. so it is likely the kernel bug. [10:25] lotuspsychje, oh, okay. i will disable secure boot. [10:25] beiz: it is known yeah, bug #1867803 [10:25] bug 1867803 in linux (Ubuntu) "ALSA: No soundcards found after updating kernel to 5.3.0.42.36" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1867803 [10:25] why hasn't there been a fix to the kernel bug? :/ [10:26] beiz: work in progress, -proposed kernel has the fix [10:26] beiz: so a bit more waiting [10:27] it will be available in 20.04 i presume? [10:27] beiz: 20.04 should not suffer this bug, another kernel version [10:27] great [10:27] so the only real issue then is suspend i guess :) [10:27] you think updating bios would help? [10:28] when i was googling i found like 30 different answers, tried a few but none worked. [10:28] beiz: doublecheck lenovo's site for that bios, think you are pretty up to date [10:28] hey MonkeyDust ; ) [10:29] beiz: there are a lot of lenovo acpi issues out there, biosupdate and !acpi play might be able to help yes [10:29] lotuspsychje, what is acpi? [10:29] !acpi [10:29] to debug ACPI issues on ubuntu make sure your bios is up to date and follow the procedure here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI [10:32] lotuspsychje: :) [10:34] and here is resolv.conf https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sGQBZH95pS/ [10:36] why doesn't resolv.conf show any of the tun DNS server IP addresses? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [11:08] Hi. Can display server (x11 or wayland) directly access hardware by bypassing kernel? [11:14] hextreme: hardware access goes through the kernel, what is your issue? === bpsecret- is now known as bpsecret [11:18] Thanks ducasse. I was refering this link ( https://blogs.igalia.com/itoral/2014/07/29/a-brief-introduction-to-the-linux-graphics-stack/ )to understand linux distro graphics stack. In figure, he made arrow bypassing kernel which made me wonder. [11:19] hextreme: for exact details, you should ask in ##linux, but in general the job of the kernel is to handle hardware access [11:20] ducasse thanks buddy [11:22] np === mateen1 is now known as mateen [11:28] Hi folks === TheSilentLink_ is now known as TheSilentLink [11:34] Of the available Cloud Images for 18.04 (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/) which image should I be using with OpenStack? Are there QCOW2 images available? [11:58] the .img files are qcow2 [11:59] thomasfedb, ^^^^ [12:00] greatgatsby: okay, thankyou! Is this documented anywhere? I couldn't find anything [12:01] not sure, I just happened to have used one this week, and it's qcow2 and worked flawlessly with qemu [12:01] probably can guess looking at the filesize that it's not raw, and raw wouldn't make sense at that size since there would be no addition space, if that makes sense [12:05] can anyone recommend a good sip client that's available from the ubuntu 18.04 repos? [12:09] TomyWork, linphone is in the repos [12:25] Hi guys, I've been handed a Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS image (vbox) I've tried to upgrade the system with dist-upgrade, hoever it always fails and when it restarts I just get a blinking cursor after the grub menu. [12:31] DuckyDev: try to enter grub recoverymode and fix things from there [12:31] TomyWork: there's also Ekiga .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [12:33] Is "rsh" part of Ubuntu? [12:33] would surprise me if not [12:33] BluesKaj, MonkeyDust thanks for the suggestions, i'm testing linphone right now [12:40] CrazySam: Would help if you expanded the acronym... there is "Restricted Shell" and "Remote Shell" which both is "rsh" acronym [12:41] they mean remote shell, the predecessor to ssh [12:43] geirha: I'm so glad that you are telepathic and can answer for other people. Let's wait for the Original person to respond before making assumptions [12:43] Remote sh. [12:44] Ah, this is #ubuntu, it was discussed in ##linux earlier [12:44] !info rsh-server [12:44] Yes geirha [12:44] rsh-server (source: netkit-rsh): server program for remote shell connections. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.17-18 (eoan), package size 31 kB, installed size 105 kB [12:44] !info rsh-client [12:44] rsh-client (source: netkit-rsh): client programs for remote shell connections. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.17-18 (eoan), package size 27 kB, installed size 90 kB [12:44] i'm trying to use nvidia x server settings to configure x server display, and even though i "save to x configuration file" the settings dont seem to stick, i dont see any errors in xorg log, i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong [12:45] pragmaticenigma: it's not installed on Ubuntu by default? [12:45] "rsh" appears to be an alias for "ssh" on Ubuntu? [12:46] CrazySam: Being that it is in universe, no it is not installed by default [12:47] CrazySam: rsh was superseeded by ssh [12:47] https://www.ssh.com/ssh/rsh [12:48] ses1984: You have to save the file to your local user directory, and then use sudo to copy it to the /etc/X11 folder [12:51] pragmaticenigma: pretty sure that's not the case, it asks for sudo when copying to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and i also did copy to my desktop and diff the files they are the same [12:52] ses1984: Then it is a problem with the nvidia application, which means you will need to contact nvidia through their support channels for assistance [12:55] guys what's the best way of deploying a react app to ubuntu? [12:59] pragmaticenigma: if i generated the xorg conf it would be a problem with me, not the nvidia app. nvidia app was just a tool to generate the conf. interpreting xorg logs to find whats wrong has nothing to do with nvidia app [13:00] ses1984, are the changes actually written to xorg.conf ? [13:00] Bromite: For recommendations, polls, and opinions, please use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. Your question is not a support related [13:01] ioria: looks like they are, when i write to a new file location and inspect the file it looks like it is what i want, and when i diff that against /etc/X11/xorg.conf they're the same [13:01] ses1984: What exactly are you setting through the nvidia gui that isn't possible with the Display settings in Ubuntu's settings area? [13:03] just checked ubuntu display settings and i guess nothing. i'll try to use it and see how it works [13:04] ses1984, if it fails, i 'd suggest to backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit it directly (or overwite with the nvidia-settings previw output) [13:05] for some reason i thought i couldn't adjust refresh rate in the ubuntu display settings. the option shows up for one monitor, not the other, which is fine with me i only want a non-default refresh rate on one monitor [13:05] it's working great, thanks [13:11] help please.. maybe i just need the right app. I have a multi boot system. I reinstalled one of the two systems, but install grub on a different partition. I have grub-customizer, and boot-repair. Grub cusomtizer only seeing the newest install, (the one i cant boot to). ANd Boot-repair seeing the other installation, but - keep saying my LIVE USB isnt a live usb - and disables its features. Help [13:12] subcool: you can't boot right now/ [13:12] ? [13:13] subcool: "multi boot system" all linux distros ? [13:13] grub on different partition../ [13:13] really? [13:13] i think you want to say different drive .. [13:15] BluesKaj, MonkeyDust hmm, linphone can't register (no idea what's wrong) and ekiga can't pick up calls unless I set it to automatically answer all calls [13:15] whether i click accept or reject, it always rejects the call [13:19] on windows i use yate and that works fine [13:19] i'll try twinkle [13:20] EriC^^: no - cant boot. [13:20] Bashing-om: debian and ubuntu [13:21] oerheks: Yeah... debian did it. --- i think? [13:21] 2 grubs means chainloading... [13:21] From what i can see. Debian installed grub to /boot/ attached to - LVM - blahblahblah/root/ [13:22] oerheks: yes, if i foul up the first grub during boot, itll load the second one. which - doesnt work anymore. lol [13:22] yay, twinkle works [13:22] subcool: Boot up a liveUSB and show the channel in a pastebin the output pf ' sudo parted -l ' so we know what we are working with, [13:22] when i installed ubuntu, i tried to setit up on the same as debian- but it install grub to ... blahblahblah/kubuntu - [13:23] kk [13:23] Hi, I'm running ubuntu 18.04 and I'm wondering why unattended-upgrade is not run daily. This is my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KyZ9cYhDst/ and when I run unattended-upgrade --dry-run a lot of packages are listed for installation. What is supposed to run unattended-upgrades? How more simple how can I get automatic updates for my Ubuntu 18.04 (server)? [13:24] im going to sign off here. brb [13:24] subcool: If LVM this might be a job for super-Eric^^ :P [13:25] lol [13:25] thanks [13:28]
