[00:13] I can't find Disco Dingo all to download is bionic beaver at Ubuntu.com [00:13] !disco | rom-- [00:13] rom--: Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) was the 30th release of Ubuntu, support ended January 2020. see !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-January/005263.html [00:14] I thought 18.04 goes after 19.04 [00:15] !yy.mm [00:15] Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [00:15] 9 months support [00:15] otherwise known as 9 months of bug fixing :) [00:17] KK ty [00:18] hi, does multipass support ubuntu 20.04 yet? === pinpox- is now known as pinpox_ [00:38] Hi guys! Anyone here have any experience installing ubuntu/Lubuntu on Lenovo Ideapad 100S-14IBR? [00:42] Strangel: Seen: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Ubuntu/Successfully-installing-LUBUNTU-18-4-on-LENOVO-IDEAPAD-100s-11IBY/m-p/4339222 ? [00:42] 3 githubs with tips [00:42] Great :) xcept that i have a 14IBR and not a 11IBY (i think the 32/64 bit is the difference) [00:44] mine is 64bit architech but maybe 32b UEFI (i don't know...how can i find out?) [00:44] check if you have 32 bit uefi .. [00:44] did it come with 32 bit windows? [00:45] Strangel: I'm here but working on other things [00:51] is it important which partition scheme i choose when making install media? MBR or GUID? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [00:53] sorry, i meant MBR or GPT [00:55] oerheks: I have win10 64bit on it atm, running great [01:14] will I be able to seamlessly upgrade to 20.04 LTS when it comes out if I install a daily build right now? [01:14] my 18.04 install spontaneously broke itself and I don't want to deal with rebuilding the ramdisk [01:14] why would you want to use the 20.04 installer? === zbenjamin is now known as Guest69932 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:16] nshireTimeout, rebuilding the ramdisk? you mean the initramfs? [01:16] yeah [01:17] well, if you were not enthused by the recovery options provided by twenty years of sensibly expanding on the debian installer, then... [01:17] you're gonna love the new ubuntu installer. it has two buttons and they got it at toys'r'us [01:17] no matter what I've done through GRUB, nothing has worked [01:17] no matter what options I pass or remove [01:18] recovery kernel is also broken [01:18] then you boot the 1804 iso, mount the broken root, bindmount /proc/, /sys, /dev, /dev/pts and generate a new initramfs [01:19] the server iso [01:19] not that... new thing we are somehow expected to not hate [01:20] Do changes made inside the Live ISO persist after installation? [01:21] no [01:21] shibboleth, do these steps look right? http://impurval.blogspot.com/2016/11/fix-broken-initrdimg-in-linux.html [01:22] Im living inside a liveusb right now until I grab my old files. I though I might start setting up [01:23] nope, pretty much anything you do on the liveusb never gets saved [01:23] nshireTimeout, mostly, but you gotta figure out why your current initramfs is broken [01:23] well that saves me a minute. Ty [01:24] I can't get it to display anything past "loading initial ramdisk" or whatever it says immediately after it starts to load the kernel [01:24] like 2 steps after GRUB [01:24] so... in your mind: does that explain why this happens or *that* it happens? [01:25] not exactly. someone suggested it could have been a weird intel microcode issue but I updated to the very latest bios ( through windows) and it does the same thing [01:25] either your initramfs is corrupted by happenstance or something is off with the configs included or used to generate it [01:25] So VLC and Ubuntu, is that a joke? [01:26] ericus, no. it's just messed up [01:26] not funny at all [01:26] no need to keep the de-facto media player updated, amirite? [01:26] workaround? [01:26] use the ubuntu app store [01:26] which totally doesn't phone home and is everything linux is supposed to not be [01:27] I reset Gnome a few days prior to the issue and had only used sleep mode until just before [01:27] either you use their app store and that travesty that is snap or you use outdated software [01:27] or you compile it yourself [01:27] because "it's universe" [01:27] but a desktop environment shouldn't completely break booting [01:27] meaning "yeah, it's in there but we can't be asked to give a frak" [01:28] "community maintained" [01:28] you know, as opposed to debian which is *entirely* community-maintained and *does* keep their pakcages updates [01:28] *and* don't try to fool you into using a frikkin app store [01:29] pakcages updates/packages updated [01:30] you could remove "splash quiet vt_handoff" to see where it broks [01:30] borks [01:32] breaks right after it loads the kernel [01:32] "loading initial ramdisk......" [01:33] then regen the initramfa [01:33] initramfs [01:34] hello [01:34] if that helps you're lucky and this was simply caused by a bork during the generation of the one you're using [01:35] if i had to guess i wouldn't bank on this, though [01:35] liveUSBs boot up fine so idk [01:36] ok, i'm gonna say this one last time: complaining about it won't do squat. try regenerating it [01:37] shibboleth: if you can get these warnings to work then I need your secret [01:38] ? [01:39] shibboleth: disregard. My apologies. I skip between ##linux and here and forget where I am sometimes with the commentary [01:39] Trying to break that habit [01:40] stupid question, I am trying to expand a disk of the bionic qcow2 image released a few days ago on a centos7 kvm server and it is failing, is it due to the age of centos7 ? [01:41] about to wipe clean old clunker and install something newer but would like some hints before wiping it clean [01:42] my advice: look towards debian [01:42] any particular reason? [01:43] seen the scrollback? [01:43] no, you haven't [01:43] misread the nick [01:44] last time I was here was about Feb 20th [01:44] anyway: ubuntu has now ditched the debian installer (booo) with something they licensed from fischer-price [01:44] ubuntu can't keep their apt repos updated [01:44] guess the kernel and utilities need a refresh, will look at that one [01:45] not helpfull, shibboleth [01:45] ubuntu is trying to trick you into using their "online services". like an app store as a workaround to them not bothering to keep their apt repos updated [01:45] stop the rant, thanks. [01:46] oerheks, nshireTimeout was asking about the recovery options using the new installer [01:46] We all read [01:46] will it likely be faster to zip up my /home/ directory before I move it to my usb thumb drive? doing it without zipping is going to take quite a while apparently [01:46] I want to back it up before I do anything [01:47] oerheks, how would he chroot mount the broken root and regenerate his initramfs using the new installer? [01:47] zip it on-the-fly [01:47] ^ [01:47] that's what I was thinking [01:47] seems like this drive doesn't like random iops [01:47] no no shibboleth , do not try to change your last comments with the support answers before esv [01:49] oerheks, well, if you feel like the new installer is so great, mind pointing out how he would go about doing this? [01:50] oerheks, also: [01:50] So VLC and Ubuntu, is that a joke? [01:51] i'm assuming that he meant how ubuntu sees no problem with serving a vlc version with several vulnerabilities as part of their current stable? and has been for close to nine months? [01:52] shibboleth: a suggestion: you may want to specifically address the person to whom your talking, because that was unclear and I believe that confusion may have come from that [01:52] Although your comments were still overly-harsh in my opinion [01:53] GoingViral, since oerheks began addressing me i've begun each message with his nick [01:53] GoingViral, how is that not addressing him? [01:53] shibboleth: the comments you made that started the conversation we're in now is what I'm referencing [01:54] you began this conversation? anyway, i'll keep it in mind [01:54] Hi all. First time using IRC [01:55] last fix was put in snapstore yesterday, also 4 beta is available https://snapcraft.io/vlc [01:55] shibboleth: specifically your comments about the installer and repos, which is seems now after clarification that you were addressing to nshireTimeout, but there was no indication of that at the time [01:55] It seems* [01:56] oerheks, yeah, we already went over how cruddy it is to try to trick ppl into using the ubuntu app store as a workaround to ubuntu not bothering to keep what is perhaps *the* most widely used media player updated === pinpox- is now known as pinpox_ [01:57] no answer is best to give to you. [01:57] debian even upgraded their stable from 2.* to 3.* since 2 wasn't gonna receive further updates [01:58] not helpfull, shibboleth [01:58] oerheks: did you need support? Or are you providing it? [01:58] Whoops [01:58] oerheks> no answer is best to give to you. [01:58] shibboleth: ^ [01:59] That was meant to be addressed to you, but the intent of this channel is pretty clear, and I'm actually working hard to get used to that. You may want to try the same. [01:59] GoingViral, three ppl asked for help, no one responded but i. but since my replies made mention of some poor choices having been made by ubuntu lately oerheks decided to step in and proclaim that i wasn't being helpful [01:59] you are unfair, stop filling this support channel with those rants. [02:01] I will stop this discussion on my end. [02:01] I am 100% confused as to the relationship (IF ANY) between limits set in /etc/security/limits.conf and with ulimit - filesize and nproc seem to show up in ulimitt but cpu and core appear not to - what am I missing here? but [02:02] I've been noticing some big time lag in my system, and when I ran 'top' I see that "WebExtensions" is using 55g of virtual memory...I would assume this is at least part of my problem...but how do I do anything about it? (Bionic with FF 74.0 and Tor Browser 9.07) [02:03] actually, RAM is meant to be used [02:03] there very little point in RAM not spent [02:04] shibboleth: I'm fully aware of the "linux ate my RAM" explanation - this seems a bit beyond that [02:04] That is quite the virtual footprint [02:04] your question seems to be about how to limit firefox memory usage. mind expanding on what you have loaded in firefox [02:05] aaardvark, did you edit limits.conf or put a file in /security/limits.d/ [02:05] sites? which. tabs? how many? extensions, which? [02:05] oerheks: I edited /etc/security/limits.conf [02:05] NerdyAnarchist: how does top look when you run Firefox with extensions disabled? [02:05] (and that is the only instance) [02:06] shibboleth: if anything I'm sure it probably has something to do with some tampermonkey script(s) I use for Amazon Mechanical Turk, but tips on isolating which one would be helpful [02:06] NerdyAnarchist, also: in the address bar type: "about:performance" [02:06] aaardvark, that was the old way, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1049058/how-to-increase-max-open-files-limit-on-ubuntu-18-04 [02:06] oerheks: ty - let me go and look at that link - this is why I so love this group [02:08] NerdyAnarchist: there's also a task manager that encludes extensions [02:08] shibboleth: that may have been just what I needed to look for (about:performance) - let me do some digging with that and see what comes out [02:08] NerdyAnarchist: hamburger --> more --> task manager [02:08] includes* [02:08] NerdyAnarchist, so, "helpful" it is then? [02:09] oerheks: I'm missing something here - I do not see anything fundamentally outdated in what I did - and why do some of the limits come accross and not others? [02:09] shibboleth: gets me pointed in the right direction, so yep! Thanks [02:09] see, oerheks ? [02:09] don't gloat [02:26] hi, running 16.04. top reports a process under nobody user name dnsmasq. I've checked no dnsmasq package installed, as well as dnsmasq-base [02:26] What could it be ?! [02:32] POLK: you could check /proc// and get a bunch of information. "exe" has a symlink to the actual executable... Also is your nick referencing Polk County, FL by chance? [02:32] doesn't libvirt and networkmanager use dnsmasq? [02:32] POLK, dpkg -l | grep -i dnsmasq [02:33] GoneViral, how many touchdowns did al score? [02:33] enough to convince your mother [02:33] GoneViral, no relation to that === benfrancis2 is now known as benfrancis [02:34] POLK: OK, I was just going to say that might be the entire problem. I know that place well lol [02:34] Okay I read and accept https://ubuntu.com/community/code-of-conduct [02:35] * GoneViral gold star [02:35] Does anyone else do Unreal Engine 4 development on Ubuntu?

[06:00] https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/use-screen-share-in-ubuntu/ [06:52] hey, if you remember yestarday i had a problem with super key on my keyboard. Turned out the keyboard was in a "game mode". So that's solved now. However I tried a bunch of different things and as a result right now my alt key shortcuts don't work anymore. When I check in xev pressing alt results in KeyRelease event, serial 37 but XLookupString gives 0 [06:53] I also checked keyboard shortcuts in settings and I can see that right now moving workspaces up and down is based on super + pgup/pgdown instead of the standard ctrl+alt+up/down. I tried reseting to defaults but nothing changes [07:00] or really simply my ctrl+alt+t doesn't work [08:01] hey can someone help me? Alt+tab doesnt work for me === johnsonshi_ is now known as johnsonshi [09:59] 'Morning all [10:04] can anyone throw me a credential for 12.04 advantage esm? === pinpox- is now known as pinpox_ [10:16] jjakob: My understanding is that 12.04 ESM is only provided for a few select Canonical customers and their specific package lists at this time, and that there is no free support. You can register for free ESM for up to three systems for 14.04 LTS and later. https://ubuntu.com/blog/ua-services-deployed-from-the-command-line-with-ua-client [10:16] !esm [10:16] Canonical offers paid extended security support for end-of-life LTS releases through the Ubuntu Advantage program. For more information, see https://ubuntu.com/esm . ESM is not an Ubuntu community offering; please direct questions about it to Canonical directly. [10:17] tomreyn: thanks. I saw that they offered 14.04 for free, but I have just one 12.04. Guess I'll upgrade asap... [10:18] 12.04 until 16.04 have ESM for 3 years only anyways, so 12.04 ESM is already over. [10:19] does hfs have partitions ? if so can you make one? [10:19] yeah I know, I just thought I could get the patches that came after support ended until the end of ESM [10:24] tarelerulz: if you mean Apples' Hierarchical File System thern that's a file system, not a partition table. file systems don't have partitions. partitions can contain file systems. there are some file systems which can contain subvolumes (btrfs) and pools (ZFS) which is a (somewhat) similar mechanism to partitioning. i don't think (but am not certain) that HFS supports such. [10:33] HFS does not, but APFS does [10:46] tarelerulz: see above, and please note i discard all private messages from users not on my whitelist (i just receive notifications) [10:51] Hi. Need help.

[12:00] elioporco: ok [12:01] PeGaSuS: what is the problem you're trying the solve, or the goal you have?

[13:19] I can't find anyone discussing it so that seems to be "no". [13:21] MilkmanDan: the regular "apt upgrade" does it [13:22] That's what I figured but I wasn't sure. [13:22] MilkmanDan: then release ISOs are just the set of packages frozen in time on release date [13:22] Things break for mysterious reasons. [13:22] s/then/the/ [13:22] Right right. [13:23] In that case I might go ahead and switch a system or two to Ubuntu and see if I can scratch any of my own last minute bug itches. [13:28] TJ-: Thanks for the confirmation. :) [13:32] certain apps are take 10-15 seconds to open on my ubuntu 18.04 install. running gedit from console generates no errors, but takes 15 seconds to open the main window. i'm using i3. [13:32] how long does `getent ahosts $(hostname)` take? [13:33] i'm trying to do "check disk for defects" but the graphics are all messed up --- is there a way to force it into basic vga or terminal mode? [13:35] grawity: it returned immediately [13:36] elioporco: aha sorry i was away a little [13:36] elioporco: ok, try to boot, in case just the bcdboot command was enough [13:43] EriC^^ ok i try [13:49] i'm also having an issue with a new external usb HD that I verified is working on another computer. when I plug it into my ubuntu server it spins up but doesn't show up in lsusb or dmesg or fdisk. [13:49] it's usb 3 [13:50] do any USB-related messages show up in dmesg at all, when you connect it? [13:50] nothing when i grep -i usb [13:51] im trying to switch from cloud-init to network-manager. If I start network manager while my nics are configured with cloud-init will network manager take over and clear the ip address on the interfaces? [13:52] actually netplan not cloud-init [13:55] EriC^^win boot normally, very good [13:55] when did 20.04 LTS release? [13:56] 20.04 LTS hasnt released yet [13:57] April 23, 2020 is when 20.04 lts gets released [13:57] EriC^^i reboot with the ubuntu stivk [13:59] ahh okay so 19.04 is what i have currently. [14:03] cptmorgan: netplan uses networkd or network-manager to configure networking, it is only used to define the configuration [14:03] cptmorgan: make sure renderer is set to network-manager [14:03] cptmorgan: is that a desktop/GUI system? netplan will just be generating runtime configs for NetworkManager under /run/NetworkManager/ [14:04] cptmorgan: if you disable/empty netplan then on next reboot no config will be generated [14:04] Biessie: 19.04 is eol, you should upgrade [14:04] elioporco: great! ok type 'sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt' [14:05] ducasse - In process of upgrading now. :) [14:06] EriC^^i am on it [14:06] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/G2RXrqK5zN/ :) [14:07] cheers [14:08] elioporco: type the following line [14:08] for i in /dev /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done [14:09] EriC^^ok do [14:10] elioporco: sudo chroot /mnt [14:10] elioporco: then'mount /boot/efi' [14:10] elioporco: then 'mount /boot/efi' [14:13] EriC^^can't find UUID.. [14:14] elioporco: oh right, we did a format [14:15] elioporco: type 'blkid /dev/sda1 | nc termbin.com 9999' [14:22] EriC^^ https://termbin.com/5nswv [14:43] Hey there, good humans! I'd like to be able to create a wireless hotspot, but it seems that I am currently using proprietary Intel drivers, which don't allow me to do so. There is another driver, iwlwifi, which should support creating a wireless hotspot. There is a suitable-looking entry in /lib/firmware . How do I change the driver I am using from the proprietary Intel driver to iwlwifi? [14:43] and i still would [14:45] Dakkus: which driver are you currently using, and which hardware? lspci -knn should tell [14:46] LaRose_Bleu: what do you mean by "and i still would"? [14:47] typed in wrong windows my dude dont worry about it [14:51] EriC^^https://termbin.com/5nswv [14:53] elioporco: so UUID=E2F7-04D3 is the device that should be mounted to /boot/efi in /etc/fstab [14:54] tomreyni have to edit fstab? [14:55]
