| nshire | my system is currently in an unbootable state with all current grub options-- 4.15.0-88 or 4.15.0-91 and their respective recovery modes | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| nshire | just hangs on "loading inital ramdisk" | 00:23 |
| nshire | I tried update-initramfs but it didn't seem to do anything | 00:24 |
| sarnold | do you need to install the linux-modules-extra* package that corresponds with your kernel versions? | 00:25 |
| nshire | I created new install media and it boots up fine off the 5.3.0-28 kernel on the usb drive | 00:25 |
| nshire | sarnold, I have no idea. | 00:25 |
| nshire | all I did was apt update && upgrade and it broke everything | 00:26 |
| nshire | would I just chroot in to do that? | 00:26 |
| sarnold | yeah, if you're at a rescue prompt from anothr media, that should do the trick | 00:27 |
| nshire | I don't think I've ever seen a rescue option | 00:27 |
| nshire | would that be under grub when I first boot off the usb stick? | 00:28 |
| onixx | Good evening, does anyone know why ubuntu 18.04 when booting in rescue mode is mounting my drive as read-write ? I want it read only | 00:29 |
| onixx | 18.04 is the version i use | 00:29 |
| oerheks | why do you want it read-only? | 00:30 |
| onixx | zerofree | 00:30 |
| oerheks | that would be normal behaviour by default, iirc | 00:30 |
| oerheks | mount -o remount,rw / # is in my list to do. | 00:31 |
| onixx | oerheks: Yes, tried that too... but its active wont do it | 00:31 |
| onixx | I want ro , not rw | 00:32 |
| oerheks | interesting, why would your linux behave different? | 00:33 |

| nshire | I can actually ping archive.ubuntu.com, 1.1.1.1, google, etc fine | 00:41 |
| nshire | I can even ping us.archive.ubuntu.com | 00:41 |
| nshire | does chroot do something weird with the network? | 00:42 |
| nshire | well I should be clear, I can ping those fine from a different terminal | 00:43 |

| nshire | I can ping IPs but not hostnames | 00:44 |
| oerheks | edit nano /etc/resolv.conf and add nameserver something | 00:45 |

| nshire | is there likely to be anything important in /etc/ ? I give up on fixing my install and I'm gonna nuke it and reinstall | 01:19 |
| nshire | so far only archived /home/ and I don't really want to bother with more | 01:20 |
| Jordan_U | nshire: How important /etc/ is really depends on what you're doing. In general, server type things tend to have a lot of important configuration in /home/ and desktop type things have a lot of configuration in /home/you/ . We can't really tell you easily if you have anything important in /etc/. | 01:23 |
| nshire | just desktop type stuff | 01:23 |
| nshire | drive format time | 01:23 |
| Jordan_U | nshire: Ubuntu's installer will allow you to re-install preserving /home/, even if it's not on a separate partition. | 01:24 |
| nshire | I didn't see that option when I checked earlier | 01:24 |
| === DarthRadar1 is now known as DarthRadar | ||
| Jordan_U | nshire: It should detect an existing install and give you an option. I haven't used the Ubuntu installer in some years so I can't say exactly how that option looks. | 01:25 |
| Jordan_U | nshire: If you boot to the desktop of the LiveUSB (so that you can run other programs) you can post screenshots of what you're seeing in the installer and we can confirm that you're choosing the correct options. | 01:26 |

| ubottu | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 01:32 |
| oerheks | that would bring 5.3.x | 01:33 |

| vlm | BluesKaj: its working the way dmnur suggested,was just wondering how to get it working with alias though i like to have one alias for multiple commands i can refer to at the sudo line | 11:41 |
| BluesKaj | vim vim create a file called ./bash_aliases and add your aliases there | 11:43 |
| vlm | got it working i as using wrong path the whole time,thanks for help all | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | it'll be in dolphin>view>hidden files | 11:45 |

| vlm | is it possible to have nopasswd sudo for one command and still be able to sudo all else commands?With johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/docker ps * i only get to issue /bin/docker ps * and no other commands tohugh | 12:20 |
| JimBuntu | vlm: I didn't realize you could add subcommands or arguments to the single command nopasswd sudo | 12:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | vlm: Yes, you can specify applications that you do not need to require a password for use with sudo. This article is pretty indepth on how to do it. https://askubuntu.com/a/159009 | 12:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | oh, subcommands... not possible | 12:22 |

| vlm | johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/docker ps * does work though | 12:25 |
| vlm | problem is then i cant doe any other commands :/ | 12:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | vlm: I think in this case, it might be better to leave it as it is | 12:26 |
| dmnur | vlm: you can also just add another line *BEFORE* that one, like this: johndoe ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL | 12:36 |
| samfisher | why do I see IPs and reverse DNS for people? is because of my ubuntu or IRC client? | 12:37 |

| RomanGod | Is it possible to redirect a url to localhost? (i.e. when i type mydomain.com into my browser, i want it to redirect to localhost) | 13:22 |
| al2o3-cr | RomanGod: yes. edit the /etc/hosts file. | 13:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | RomanGod: Add an entry to /etc/hosts... the format is IP address space then the domain/url ... example: 127.0.0.1 example.com | 13:26 |
| RomanGod | great thanks. Can i give a port number too? | 13:27 |

| eugenio_ | hi all, I was just trying to start x11vnc on a remote pc, butI got this error: XOpenDisplay(":0") failed, any idea? | 13:28 |
| RomanGod | apparently not | 13:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | RomanGod: no... just the ip address and the desired domain you'd like to you | 13:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | *to use | 13:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | eugenio_: x11vnc needs to be started from within the graphical environment you wish to share... by design it's not meant to be started remotely | 13:30 |
| RomanGod | thanks | 13:31 |
| eugenio_ | pragmaticenigma, I have just used it yesterday, but I did an error, because I logout thew user in the remote desktop from vnc client | 13:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | eugenio_: It needs an active session to attach to | 13:32 |
| eugenio_ | pragmaticenigma any way to restart an active session from remote? | 13:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | eugenio_: I don't believe it is possible... someone would need to be phyically at the machine | 13:33 |
| elmie198 | anyone can help me with Ubuntu server 19.10 + nextcloud? | 13:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | elmie198: It works better if you explain your issue in as much detail instead of asking to ask if anyone knows anything about the thing you have a question about. | 13:34 |
| elmie198 | ok, thanks, well I have apache2 setup, and nextcloud is the default page. I want it so that is http://my ip/nextcloud not http://my ip | 13:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | eugenio_: You might be able to spin up a virtual desktop with vncserver... but I'm not familiar with that approach | 13:35 |
| faLUCE | hello. Is there a _simple_ way to run a python script with a mouse click? | 13:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: no... while it is possible, it is not recommended | 13:37 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: this is so bad | 13:37 |
| eugenio_ | pragmaticenigma, some more details? | 13:37 |
| faLUCE | why they removed preferences from nautilus? | 13:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | eugenio_: Again, not something I have a lot of experience with. Searching the web for "VNC Virtual Desktop" should start you down the path for researching it | 13:38 |
| eugenio_ | pragmaticenigma, thanks | 13:38 |
| elmie198 | pragmaticenigma how do I make nextcloud not the default webpage of apache2 in ubuntu server | 13:40 |
| faLUCE | there should be a "launcher" for scripts. Otherwise I always have to open a terminal | 13:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: best practices should always be to run scripts manually in the terminal | 13:41 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: there should be a launcher as well | 13:41 |
| faLUCE | for example: if you put the script in /usr/bin it's nonsense to open the text editor | 13:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: It is dangerous to allow scripts to execute through double clicks... that's why it's not provided by default. It would be very easy for someone to just provide you with a malicious python script and you blindly execute it, and now your machine is compromised | 13:42 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: as said before it's not dangerous if you leave the user the possibility to configure this behavior | 13:43 |
| faLUCE | it's nonsense to disallow this at all | 13:43 |
| faLUCE | totally nonsense | 13:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: it is for you, when the entire thing is easily enabled. However, volunteers here do not provide instructions that would intentionally leave a system vulnerable to an attack. | 13:44 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: no, it's totally nonsense at all. What has not to be set as "default" doesn't mean that can't be set as non-default | 13:44 |
| faLUCE | it has nothing to do with vulnerability | 13:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | elmie198: I'm not familiar with nextcloud and apache... I offered an advisement that providing more information would help someone that is monitoring the channel find your request and reply if they knew something | 13:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: Do you have a support question. Otherwise, please feel free to continue your discussion in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel | 13:45 |
| elmie198 | pragmaticenigma np, thanks.. btw I got nextcloud from snap and is giving me a headache on how that change all the config locations | 13:46 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: the question is my first question. What is the easiest way to make a script executable with a double click, on Ubuntu? | 13:46 |
| === benfrancis1 is now known as benfrancis | ||
| faLUCE | and it's not off-topic at all | 13:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: And my response was, volunteers here will not provide instructions that intentionally leave your machine in a vulnerable state. | 13:47 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: don't be dogmatic, please. I'm reporting an issue, I'm not making polemics | 13:47 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: and I insist: even if you put an executable into /usr/bin you make the vulnerable state. what you say is nonsense | 13:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: that approach only allows the one script/program to run... not every potential script on the computer | 13:48 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: this doesn't mean anything. A script is not potentially more dangerous than a program | 13:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: Now you're back to having a discussion... | 13:49 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: it's not me who is having a discussion. please stop insisting. It's an issue, and I'm not making polemics | 13:50 |
| faLUCE | what would be bad is if you make the script executable with click as _default_. But not as a configurable behavior | 13:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | faLUCE: The appropriate method to making a python script executable is the following: Make sure the script has the appropriate #! as the very first line. It should be #! /usr/bin/python3 ... Then chmod +x pythonscript.py ... now your script is executable | 13:51 |
| faLUCE | given that _every program_ can be configured in this way | 13:51 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: I already added the shebang and permissions | 13:51 |
| faLUCE | but ubuntu opens the text editor as well | 13:51 |
| faLUCE | it's clearly an issue. And I'm searching for a workaround, at least | 13:53 |
| bitblit | when i run add-apt-repository it just hangs forever.. | 13:57 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: I just found the solution. I copied the script into /usr/bin and it gets executed without opening a terminal | 13:58 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: next time, before insisting in what you don't know, read more carefully the question | 13:59 |
| DArqueBishop | It was pretty clear that he understood the question but that as he considered it problematic from a security perspective he wasn't going to assist. | 14:00 |
| faLUCE | DArqueBishop: no, he did not understood it | 14:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | so glad some people think they have telepathic skills. DArqueBishop you are correct, in the way they presented their inquery, I wasn't about to provide them with a solution that would leave their machine in a vulnerable state. They didn't ask about adding the script to /usr/bin... they asked how to make Nautilus execute python scripts with a double click. | 14:02 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: [15:36] <faLUCE> hello. Is there a _simple_ way to run a python script with a mouse click? | 14:03 |
| faLUCE | pragmaticenigma: please stop insisting. | 14:03 |
| DArqueBishop | faLUCE: congratulations. You just proved his point. | 14:03 |
| faLUCE | DArqueBishop: absolutely not. I just proved that _there was_ an easy way. And that he did not understand the question | 14:04 |
| faLUCE | now I'm tired of repeating. And it's pointless. I'm going back to do my things. | 14:05 |

| zen_coder | does anybody know, what package I need to install for that? | 15:14 |

| zen_coder | I need to compile something | 15:17 |
| zen_coder | https://github.com/GENIVI/dlt-daemon | 15:17 |

| oaky | Hey, I'm about to install FreeCAD on my xubuntu 18.04 and just wondering if I install the one from the official ubuntu repositories, will I get new stable updates when I run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade". Or do I have to add their "stable PPA" in order to receive updates? | 16:39 |
| oerheks | oaky, install the snap? https://snapcraft.io/freecad | 16:40 |
| oerheks | btw, 'apt dist-upgrade' might give more packages held back. | 16:41 |
| pragmaticenigma | oaky: The one in the official ubuntu repo will get patched for bugs and security fixes. typcially repo installs do not receive new features when released. You can use their PPA, however support will have to be provided by them, and you will be asked to removed it here if you run into issues with your system. Snaps are the safest as they typically have updates and feature releases included. Though support can be limited here for | 16:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | them | 16:42 |
| oerheks | same for PPA or Snap; trust the owner! | 16:43 |
| oaky | pragmaticenigma: Ok, thanks. If I open "Software" application and go to freeCAD and choose "Install". That is "the snap"? | 16:44 |

| irreleph4nt | Hi. I am currently setting up an installation of Focal (switching from Fedora). How do I know if a Ubuntu package (refind bootloader) will be available for Focal if it currently is not listed as such on packages.ubuntu.com? | 16:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | irreleph4nt: Focal 20.04 has not been released yet | 16:47 |
| dax | and packages.ubuntu.com lists refind as available for focal anyway | 16:48 |
| irreleph4nt | dax, do you mind sharing a link, please? I only see it listed agains eoan | 16:48 |
| dax | https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=refind | 16:48 |
| oaky | pragmaticenigma: Mm ok I understand. But so if I go to terminal and write "apt search freecad" and get one result named "freecad" and then issue "sudo apt-get install freecad", is that the same as installing the Snap? i.e that I will updates | 16:48 |
| MonkeyDust | irreleph4nt: try /msg ubottu info [package] focal | 16:48 |

| irreleph4nt | I have asked in ubuntu+1 without getting a response, so I'll try here as I don't think this is Focal specific: I am installing on UEFI using debootstrap. When I install the linux kernel inside the chroot however, apt automagically pulls in grub-pc instead of grub-efi. Can I overrule that behaviour somehow? | 17:02 |

| kur1j | is there something in apt that will tell you what package includes a program? for example apt-get install net-tools will have nmap | 17:08 |
| kur1j | if I know I need nmap, how do I find what I need to install net-tools | 17:08 |
| dax | for starters, nmap is in a package called "nmap", it's not in net-tools | 17:09 |
| dax | anyway. there's various ways, the apt-file command/package is one of them | 17:10 |
| dax | https://packages.ubuntu.com/ can usually do it too | 17:10 |

| sc0utonlinux | I have three internal hds .. one of them is being automounted only for root access .. where can I change this ? | 17:17 |
| sc0utonlinux | the Fstab doesn't contain any info except the boot partition | 17:17 |
| oerheks | you tell us how you (auto)mounted them? | 17:18 |
| sc0utonlinux | oerheks: i booted the system :) | 17:19 |
| sc0utonlinux | and I can see them in dolphin .. | 17:19 |
| sc0utonlinux | All i did was format that one HD with gparted and now the filesystem is read only for my user .. | 17:19 |
| Jordan_U | sc0utonlinux: That's probably because the top level directory on the filesystem is owned by root and set to read only for all other users. Have you tried using chmod? | 17:21 |
| sc0utonlinux | Jordan_U: chmod on the mount point ? | 17:22 |
| sc0utonlinux | Jordan_U: Yay that worked :) simple yet effective .. im still very new to all this thank you | 17:27 |
| TheFu | sc0utonlinux, learning ad hoc might seem good, because you'll keep interest, but getting information in a specific order can be much more efficient. | 17:31 |
| TheFu | Intermediate skills build off basic skills. Basic skills build from beginner skills. Beginner skills built from total noob skills. | 17:31 |
| sc0utonlinux | TheFu: concretly what do you suggest? | 17:32 |
| sc0utonlinux | I am open for all recommendations :) | 17:32 |
| TheFu | http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php | 17:33 |
| TheFu | READ the first 250 pgs or so, then skim the rest of the book quickly (2-5 sec per page) just to get a feeling for what else is possible. | 17:33 |
| TheFu | After that, then work through a power-user's book - _Unix Power Tools_ or similar. | 17:34 |
| TheFu | After that, find some LPI Admin 101 books and work through those, then Admin 102, then Admin 201, then Admin 202. | 17:35 |
| blu3dr3am | hello | 17:35 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome blu3dr3am | 17:36 |
| oerheks | just start simple, and look in the ubuntu wikis | 17:36 |
| TheFu | That all assumes you want to be an admin. If you want to be a software dev, after the first Admin 101 book, hopefully, you've learned a language to beginner level too, work through an intermediate level book. | 17:37 |
| TheFu | Of course, learn whatever someone is paying you to know first. Paycheck always trumps everything else. | 17:37 |
| TheFu | About 2 yrs in, connections between unrelated things will start happening. Everything is a file or a process will make more sense. | 17:38 |
| TheFu | You'll start using files for all sorts of unexpected things. Like suppose you want to encrypt a directory. | 17:39 |
| TheFu | There are lots of ways to accomplish that. Using good encryption, LUKS, and a file you created which becomes the LUKS container. | 17:40 |
| TheFu | Or use a tool written by someone else, but you'll have an idea as to what that tool is really doing underneath. | 17:41 |
| sc0utonlinux | TheFu: Im gonna save this chat and try this .. but Linux is not my bread winner .. linux is only my hobby :) | 17:41 |
| sc0utonlinux | Much apreciated! | 17:42 |

| TheFu | MonkeyDust, didn't she disappear for a few years due to an illness? Is she back? | 17:43 |
| sc0utonlinux | Id rather become an understander than a typer :) | 17:43 |
| TheFu | Sometimes I'm a typer. Sometimes I'm an understander. ;) | 17:43 |

| irreleph4nt | Hi. I am currently setting up a new install. Question: Does netplan automatically apply changes in netcfg upon reboot or do I need to run netplan apply manually? | 18:52 |
| sarnold | it should run automatically | 18:52 |
| irreleph4nt | I am switching from Arch Linux. Never would have thought someone uses yaml files for network configuration ~.~ ... will I stumple upon them again somewhere else in Ubuntu as well? | 18:54 |
| irreleph4nt | stumble* | 18:54 |
| sarnold | irreleph4nt: yes, ubuntu likes yaml files -- snapcraft, lxd, juju, mir, at least use yaml | 18:55 |
| irreleph4nt | sarnold, so I won't have to deal with them again. Puh ... thanks! :) | 18:56 |
| sarnold | irreleph4nt: depends what you're doing, anyway :) | 18:58 |

| ioria | the file manager ? | 19:19 |
| cyberspectre | This command tells exiftool to rename files. https://pastebin.com/MNzwxkXJ what would be the simplest way to make the output filenames be uppercase? | 19:21 |
| ioria | cyberspectre, i usually use | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' | 19:25 |
| cyberspectre | ioria, could you show me where that should be placed in the command? | 19:26 |
| ioria | cyberspectre, usually at the end | 19:26 |
| cyberspectre | ioria, hm, it doesn't work at the end | 19:28 |
| cyberspectre | ./exiftool/exiftool '-FileName<${XMP-exif:ASIN}.${XMP-exif:Viewpoint}.%e' ./amazon/*.png | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' | 19:29 |
| ioria | cyberspectre, show the output of your cmd (w/o tr) | 19:31 |

| nshire | oerheks, I found a workaround to the weird kernel panic stuff I was having | 20:00 |
| nshire | I even did a complete reinstall from scratch on a new drive and it still got stuck at loading ramdisk | 20:00 |
| nshire | turned on secure boot and it cleared right up | 20:00 |
| sarnold | on? | 20:01 |
| nshire | xps 13 9350 with i5-6200u | 20:01 |
| nshire | ubuntu 18.04.4 lts.. 5 different kernels | 20:02 |
| nshire | sarnold, oh are you asking if I turned it on? | 20:02 |
| sarnold | yeah | 20:02 |
| sarnold | oh! heh | 20:02 |
| sarnold | sorry :) | 20:02 |
| nshire | it was failing to boot with secureboot off. I turned on secureboot and it worked | 20:02 |
| sarnold | very curious | 20:03 |
| oerheks | oh, if you installed in UEFI mode, that would be no surprise.. | 20:04 |
| oerheks | no mbr, GPT? | 20:04 |
| nshire | gpt and I have the board set to only uefi booting | 20:04 |
| oerheks | well, good find | 20:05 |
| sarnold | nshire: does it bust again if you go toggle secure boot back off? | 20:05 |
| nshire | let me see | 20:05 |
| nshire | yes, turning off secureboot breaks it again sarnold | 20:07 |
| sarnold | nshire: insane. :) thanks | 20:08 |
| nshire | some people mentioned that either plugging in or unplugging the laptop from AC power would allow it to boot but I have not personally experienced that | 20:09 |
| nshire | something seriously weird is going on with that intel microcode | 20:09 |

| blahdeblah2 | Hi. Anyone recovered from a bcache bad checksum? I'm getting the message "bad checksum at bucket NNNN, block NNN, NN keys\n, disabling caching" when I try to register the SSD, both automatically on boot and manually via /sys/fs/bcache/register. | 20:36 |
| oerheks | halvors, that team works works mailing lists | 20:37 |
| oerheks | https://help.launchpad.net/Translations | 20:38 |
| oerheks | blahdeblah2, check the s.m.a.r.t. status, or do an integrity check? | 20:39 |
| blahdeblah2 | oerheks: SMART status is good. If there's an equivalent of an fsck for bcache devices, I'm not aware of it. Suggestions gratefully accepted. | 20:40 |
| oerheks | not sure, maybe bcache has that buildin? | 20:41 |
| halvors | oerheks: how can i lookup the translation for this: https://i.imgur.com/H6CYPr9.png | 20:41 |
| halvors | Suspects that translation is wrong, english would be "Start with dedicated graphics card". | 20:41 |
| halvors | Can i send an email to the mailing list without being a member?= | 20:42 |
| oerheks | howto contact them is in the url, register at launchpad first. | 20:43 |
| halvors | oerheks: Doesn't mention anything about contacting the translation team in that link, maybe one of the 20 sub links? | 20:46 |
| halvors | I'm just trying to quickly come in contact with them to tell them about this translation issue before the 20.04 LTS release. | 20:47 |
| oerheks | again, it does not work that way; https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/StartingToTranslate#Making_your_first_translation | 20:51 |

| Eryn_1983_FL | maybe it stopping working cause of that | 21:00 |
| oerheks | installed guest-addiditons ?? | 21:04 |
| sarnold | oerheks: probably not at that point, it looks like trouble durin gthe install. | 21:05 |
| oerheks | is there such an option; --to-ram? | 21:06 |
| sarnold | oerheks: funny you mention that, just yesterday I spotted this "toram" note on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions_that_run_from_RAM and wondered if that still worked | 21:07 |
| oerheks | i used to do that with pxe booting | 21:08 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | memory issue | 21:10 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | not enough ram and pointing device was tablet. | 21:10 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | ok im not understanding why its saying removing this package or that package in the install window. | 21:21 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | i know i install previously i figured it would format and go over, it | 21:21 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | thats what i thought i picked... | 21:21 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | god i just want it to install a desktop | 21:21 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | Debian is not this difficult | 21:21 |
| pavlos | during install it uses packages but at the end it removes some that are not needed | 21:28 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | weird. | 21:36 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | its installing now | 21:36 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | how can i get into a full screen log like an f1 or something from the install ? | 22:05 |
| sarnold | try control+alt+f1 or f2 or f3 and so on.. I think there's something useful on one of them | 22:05 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | ok | 22:06 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | nooo | 22:06 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | that does my whole desktop | 22:07 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | im trying to do it in vm | 22:07 |
| sarnold | you may need to click inside the vm 'window' or something similar to grab the keys | 22:08 |
| sarnold | or perhaps the VM thingy has a way to send those keys via menu entries? | 22:08 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | yeah i see one for ctrl alt del | 22:09 |
| oerheks | boot in live mode, to do something like that? | 22:09 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | and bkspace | 22:09 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | its virtualbox | 22:09 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | its been on preparing linux headers for ever. | 22:13 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | im giving up | 22:14 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | start from stratch new vdi | 22:16 |

| sonicx79 | Hello Im try to get a linux os to instill on a hp pavilion dv6000 | 23:35 |
| sonicx79 | the problem Im running in to is the resolution not supported and is very screw you looking | 23:37 |
| oerheks | if i bing at the specs, GPU: 256MB Nvidia 7200 Go(64MB On Board & 192MB Shared) | 23:38 |
| oerheks | make sure it has the full 256 ? | 23:38 |
| jvwjgames | Good evening how do I auto start a VM on Ubuntu 18.04 | 23:38 |
| sonicx79 | the dedicated memory can only go up 128 in the bios | 23:39 |
| oerheks | i would run mate or xubuntu on that. | 23:40 |
| sonicx79 | ok should I run a older or a newer version | 23:41 |
| oerheks | same? | 23:45 |
| oerheks | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/bionic/daily-live/pending/HEADER.html | 23:46 |
| oerheks | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/bionic/daily-live/current/ | 23:47 |
| sonicx79 | sorry if I was confusing I just know sometimes older versions run more smoothly on older Hardware | 23:48 |
| oerheks | it is older hardware, and desktop effects like gnome3 are slowing down dramaticly | 23:50 |
| oerheks | a SSD might speed things up. | 23:51 |
| oerheks | not the load speed, but the access time of 0.0 sec is a breeze | 23:52 |
| sonicx79 | still getting the same problem with video | 23:53 |
| sonicx79 | is there a way to share a pic on here? | 23:54 |
| oerheks | imgur perhaps | 23:55 |

| dostoyevsky | Hi, I am trying to install jitsi on my ubuntu18 but it seems broken... they use a custom package repository--still, is there a way to query for what versions of the package are available? I guess if I install a version from two weeks ago it might work.. | 23:59 |
