It is going to be like... neovim but even lighter weight? [00:14] for that matter, I've never hear of the sam editor either. [00:25] Excited for 20.04? [00:25] I know someone that is. [00:25] sure [00:26] yay! [00:26] such excitement [00:27] I have a raspberry pi 3 running Ubuntu 18.04, havent used linux in a while cant seem to figure how to make it autologin to the text based terminal (tty1) on boot. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? [00:28] Need to get rid of the display manager to do that. [00:29] everyone seems so exicted about new ubuntu, while me seeting with ubuntu i3wm all stable :D [00:29] i stopped it from loading via systemctl i have it loading the text based login [00:30] boot multi.user target, systemctl set-default multi-user.target # and obiously; sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target # to get gui again [00:30] didnt know if there was a script i could make and possibly add to rc.local or something to make it load. [00:30] yeah i just did that recently to make it not load the gui [00:30] but i cant seem to make it autologin [00:31] bad63r, yeah but you don't need the neweset darktale or gimp to get shit done.

Support for system issues is being offered here [00:35] Has anyone had issues with Ubuntu server 18.04? I can't get to my external HDD at all. [00:37] oppenheimers_not: have you tried rebooting, testing the drive on another machine, trying a different drive on your current machine, checked to make sure all the cables are firmly plugged in, tried a different cable, tried a different port? [00:37] I tried booting a live disk and was able to find it in the file manager and terminal. But Server can't see it. [00:39] Yeah, fdisk -l shows that something's plugged into sdb1 but I can't mount or navigate to it [00:39] sudo blkid # lists UUIDs for all attached devices (mounted or not). [00:40] TaneSoup: I don't know how accurate this article is, but it seems to be similar to what you are looking for: https://askubuntu.com/a/776197 [00:40] ok thankyou ill take a look [00:41] oppenheimers_not, has it worked before on your server? [00:41] drleviathan: I tried plan9 for a few days twenty years ago, so I'd seen sam, but it didn't make a damn bit of sense back then :) [00:42] it did on server 15.04. [00:44] DA200 Dell USB adapter ethernet working in ubuntu 18.04 .. how to make it work? [00:45] TaneSoup: so, this looks a bit involved, but it looks possible [00:45] TaneSoup: check out the --autologin option listed in the agetty(8) manpage [00:46] TaneSoup: then check out the Exec= line in the output of: systemctl cat getty@.service [00:46] TaneSoup: I'm sorry, ExecStart === takov7515 is now known as takov751 [00:48] TaneSoup: you ought to be able to add an override to the systemd unit file with: sudo systemctl edit getty@.service --- add [Service], then ExecStart= .... -- and here modify the line to whatever it is agetty needs in order to run the autologin option [01:13] Thank you i was able using mingetty to get it to autologin [01:15] now the next step was to make this script load on login it seems to not be loading i used the method of adding a symbolic link to my /etc/profile.d and it didnnt work, so i tried to make a script to call my other script in same folder and still nothing any ideas on a way to call a script when user ubuntu logs in? [01:15] And iof possible have it load said script on the same visable terminal tty1? [01:19] TaneSoup: try calling your executable from you ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile -- I never learned the differences in the files, I've got loads of stuff in my ~/.bashrc [01:21] systemwide /root/.bashrc [01:22] that'll work when root logs in [01:22] no one else can read that file [01:23] (and no one else's bash will even try to read it -- they are configured to read the /etc/ files and $HOME files, not someone else's HOME files :) [01:25] is it possible to change the polkit dialog? [01:26] also, which rule is responsible for the software centre? [01:37] if i were calling it from ".bashrc" what would be the recommened method ( ".path/to/script.sh" | "bash path/to/script.sh" | " ExecStart=/path/tpo/script.sh" ) [01:38] probably path/to/script [01:38] or /path/to/script === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:40] hi, enabled night light on 18.04 (using GnomeShell). Monitor 1 doesn't apply the night light setting. How can I fix it? default is monitor 2, that one enabled night light. [01:46] alright so good news it seems to be calling the script on boot. But I think i have some directory issues going to go try to sort that out be back after. Thank you very much sarnold [01:46] Mr some tips; enable single display while setting nightlight, and then join again [01:46] https://askubuntu.com/questions/983844/night-light-vs-dual-monitor [01:46] TaneSoup: woo cool [02:22] would anyone here know why executables in a folder added to path would be unable to be found by bash? [02:23] orner: the usual problems are (a) forgetting to set the executable bit on the file (b) the file uses an interpreter that can't be found (c) there's an already-hashed path to an executable in the running shell [02:27] There can also be executables wi the same name which get run first depending on what order the paths are in [02:28] all was going good but it seems to be stuck in a bootloop (if u call it that) not sure why, auto logs into ubuntu and on load tried to load the script which logs it out and then it does it all over, i can switch to tty2 but iirc the root password is disabled.. is there anyway to edit the ./bashrc file ? [02:29] i know it has execute permissions and that there shouldnt be any conflicting executables [02:31] orner: Did you logout/log back in since you edited the path ? [02:31] ive restarted [02:31] autofill even picks up the added binaries [02:32] orner: Where did you add it, in ~/.bashrc , somewhere else? [02:33] i added it in /etc/environment [02:33] I have 3 nic with netplan, two are for internal network only, but netplan is setting all 3 as default so i can’t access the internet. How do i make netplan not add them as defaults? I looked at manpage and saw route-metric from dhcp overwrite, but since theyvare static routes i dont think it will work. [02:37] TaneSoup: You should never activate our use root with Ubuntu. there is no need to [02:43] hi there, lets say source send a packet to destination. now before the packet gets received in destination. is it possible for the source to change its originating ip in linux may be through snat or dnatso that the destination somehow knows that ip is from y.y.y.y and not x.x.x.x [02:44] i hope not .. [02:46] fsd: that's what SNAT does in a forwarding router [02:52] so turns out its only bash that cant access this file even though its marked as executable [02:56] orner: what is the exectuable file type? wrong architecture maybe? [02:57] orner: have you checked what "which -a " reports? [02:58] it reports the correct path, as does bash when it claims that it cannot find the file === Mrokii_ is now known as Mrokii [03:00] orner: what does "file /path/to/file" report, also compare to "dpkg --print-architecture" [03:00] file reports that its an x86 executable [03:02] the system is 64 bit [03:04] orner: now compare that to "file /bin/bash" as an example... sounds like the system is 64-bit and you're trying to execute a 32-bit binary without all the required libraries. So, also look at "ldd /path/to/executable" to see what is missing [03:05] ldd only returns "not a dynamic executable" [03:06] oerheks, thanks. When I disable join displays by selecting single display. Only monitor number 1 is enabled. monitor 2 goes to power saving. When I enable night light I see that it is still not enabled on monitor 1. Could this be a setting on the monitor hardware where it may have been disabled? [03:08] orner: ahhh! show so statically linked 32-bit [03:09] MrKeuner, i have no clue, color profiles .. did you try to reset the monitors to factory defaults? [03:10] orner: try this https://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit [03:13] oh wow thanks! [03:14] never had to troubleshoot this type of issue so i didnt even know what to search === Eickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer-Quasse [03:19] orner: there are a couple of issues: 1. having supporting 32-bit libraries (for dynamically linked executables - which your's isn't) and 2. kernel support for all the 32-bit syscalls that the binary might make (the kernel interface for 32-bit is different to the 64-bit, but 64-bit does try to present a compatibility interface for *most* 32-bit syscalls) === Eickmeyer-Quasse is now known as Eickmeyer[q] [04:23] hi all. what should I try to kill/restart in the following scenario: I'm using an IDE for coding and whenever I try to save a new file, the standard Unity "file explorer" is opened but it looks crashed (nothing happens wherever I click/type). I just noticed the same happens if I open the "system settings" app: its window is totally static (I can't even close the window) [04:24] anyone ? [04:27] insanidade: The file explorer is "nautilus". [04:30] Jordan_U: thanks. but what if the "system settings/configuration" window is also crashed? [04:32] looks like mouse clicks are being captured but nothing is "repainted" in the screen [04:33] what should I look for in in the processes ? === bpsecret- is now known as bpsecret [04:39] Jordan_U: just found a solution. I just restarted X (actually using gnome as window manager). thanks for your answer. === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [05:03] hi, can i remove snap from ubuntu 18.04 [06:12] hello, my /var is almost full but I don't see what's taking 3.5G. I've tried several solutions but I don't understand. Paste: https://paste.centos.org/view/31b3f547 [06:13] I also tried it with ncdu but I got the same result. [06:14] try with du -haxd1 /var | sort -h [06:15] it includes "hidden" files in addition, in case that's where the space is going [06:16] could also be that there are files hidden under the /var/log mount [06:20] geirha: I just tested with your parameters and it's the same result: https://paste.centos.org/view/ff021e06. For the folder /var/log it is a partition that is not counted and even adding it up I don't reach 3.5G. [06:21] To check for the latter, mount the sys-var filesystem a second, temporary place to investigate it without the extra sys-log volume mounted over it. E.g. mount /dev/mapper/sys-var /mnt/tmp && du -haxd1 /mnt/tmp | sort -h === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [06:23] geirha: If I mount sys-var filesystem I'll have to unmount the current path? This is not a problem? because it is a production machine. [06:24] no, you can have the same filesystem mounted multiple places [06:24] you don't need to, and should not, unmount /var [06:32] exit70: you can, if you don't need it, and don't use gnome - aiui parts of gnome are now in a snap [06:42] geirha: same result https://paste.centos.org/view/9622a2de [06:47] i have a problem with my sound settings being overriden/reset every time i attempt to set them [06:47] ok, so there wasn't anything hidden under that log mount. Then it must be some large file that has been deleted (unlinked), but some process or processes are still holding the file opened, so it still takes up space. Once all processes keeping the file open are gone, the space will be freed [06:48] i installed some software to use an sdr and this created a couple of new sound devices, namely quiskdigitalinput and quiskdigitaloutput.. but i have removed quisk entirely, but i'm still stuck with these devices [06:50] geirha: Isn't there a way to see which process keeps which file open? Basically a simple reboot should solve the problem. [06:55] if it's a case of an unlinked file taking up the space, a reboot should solve it, yes. fuser -m /var will list the pids of processes that has files open on that filesystem, but it may be hard to track down exactly which of those is the culprit, and what file(s) it was [06:59] geirha: That's perfect, I think I know what the process is that maintains the connection.

[10:04] there is a new release coming [10:05] if i work on that server then i need to reinstall everything in news weeks [10:05] because it's not released [10:05] *next weeks [10:05] sixwheeledbeast, yeah i know but 23 of this month [10:05] no? [10:05] i am asking if i can upgrade 18.04 directly [10:05] or i must reinstall everything [10:05] ?

[10:08] sixwheeledbeast, yeah it is not a problem i can upgrade the ubuntu this summer too it is not a big problem i am asking if i can do it or i need to reinstall everything [10:09] asdfgh: just use 18.04 it's supported for agood few years anyway, shouldn't need to reinstall no [10:10] badsektur: what kind of cpu info [10:10] sixwheeledbeast, so do you think it is not good install the new release when it will be released?

I want Plex to be able to access the nextcloud data located under /var/snap/nextcloud/common/data, but this folder is owned by root:root, and the "plex" user needs r+x access. I could add "plex" to the root group, but that seems like a bad idea. Could I instead create a new group media-data consisting of root and plex, and [11:22] transfer ownership of the data folder to root:media-data? [11:27] everytime i boot a pop up saying report problem [11:27] schadegg: see also the #ubuntu-server channel perhaps they might know also [11:27] how i can fix this? [11:31] found these [11:31] _usr_bin_caja.1000.crash [11:31] _usr_bin_caja.1000.upload [11:31] _usr_bin_caja.1000.uploaded [11:31] _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_brisk-menu_brisk-menu.1000.crash [11:31] _usr_sbin_lightdm.0.crash [11:41] Good morning. I have an 18.04 server I host a bunch of VMs on. My cat keeps turning it off via the keyboard power button. [11:41] I've found a number of instructions on disabling this in a GUI environment, but how do I nerf it on server 18.04? [11:43] JonathanD: Why not just unplug the keyboard when you're not needing access to the machine? [11:44] pragmaticenigma: I mean, sure, but I'd think there has to be a better way... [11:45] JonathanD: Yes, there is a slightly better way... buy a keyboard that doesn't have a power button. Around here a simple keyboard costs all of $12USD ... and won't create headaches later down the road when you can't figure out why your keyboard stopped working [11:45] It's on a KVM (video switch, not virtualization thing) I access frequently, and I was able to disable the key on the other devices on it. [11:45] A linux and a windows desktop. [11:46] See, I don't like replacing perfectly good hardware because of what should be a pretty straightforward setting.. [11:46] It's not the cost, it's the waste. [11:47] So neither of those are good options. I'd prefer to disable the key. [11:55] JonathanD: If you really don't use/want that key on the keyboard, instead of having to alter each OS config from here on out, why not open the keyboard and break one of the lines from the switch? You could always reconnect it later. [11:56] probably could slip a piece of paper between the button and the circuit board if it is a membrane keyboard [11:59] JonathanD: Did you already modify /etc/systemd/logind.conf ? [11:59] JonathanD: There isn't a programable solution because keyboards are not setup the same way as they are in the GUI. WHen a user logs out (and with this being a server one would hope you are logging out) the keyboard settings (mappings) are "forgotten" so they won't interfere with the next user. You can use xev to try and intercept and figure out the keycodes... but there is no guarantee that won't trigger the shutdown before you [11:59] can see the keycode [12:00] Yeah, it's not logged in when this is an issue. [12:01] As far as physical solutions go popping off the keytops might be the least annoying, if there's not another wya. [12:02] JonathanD: I wasn't suggesting removing the keytop... if this is a membrane based keybaord, you just need to interupt the pad underneath the keybaord from making contact with the circuit board beneath it. A piece of paper should do nicely. I've done this to TV remotes to my elders to prevent them frmo accidentally changing settings on their TVs with all the extra buttons on their remotes [12:03] JonathanD: if it is a phyiscal switch keyboard, you would only need to cut the lead from the key to the keyboard. You can easily resolder it back together in the future when you would like to re-enable the key [12:03] is there a way to purge old kernels?Seems in 18.04 byobu package is deprecated in favour of apt,however i still have old kernels present? [12:04] vlm_: "sudo apt autoremove" would be the first place to start [12:04] Just went back to see about getting the keycode. [12:04] The cat was on the keyboard. [12:04] again. [12:04] sigh :) [12:04] pragmaticenigma: yeah, I follow, but just removing the keytops would be 2 seconds. they do pop right off. [12:05] pragmaticenigma already done they are still present [12:05] JimBuntu: I'd imagine that's only for post-login? looking at it now [12:06] vlm_: This should still work in newer versions of Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RemoveOldKernels#Safely_Removing_Old_Kernels [12:08] vlm_: maybe you can also explain a bit more what you ddi to your system, so the volunteers can help you better? [12:11] lotuspsychje i tried to use the byobu package but no luck also did the autoremove no result,i knew somehows this could be done manually just hoped it could be done through apt-get/apt command [12:11] vlm_: did you install !mainline kernels or something? wich kernel versions are still present in your system? [12:12] hello [12:12] JonathanD: You *might* be able to make something of use with the /etc/default/keybaord file.

[12:18] lotuspsychje ill check [12:19] lotuspsychje think i might found the culprit [12:19] lotuspsychje somehow the sources.list was well,empty :) [12:20] right, thats not handy [12:20] update quickly now :p [12:20] lotuspsychje yes figure not gettting any update lol [12:20] vlm_: bionic also has auto kernel cleanup now, so should take care of that [12:21] lotuspsychje thanks for help yeah i saw that in the package infor of byobu also cheers! [12:21] good luck [12:28] hyello, im looking fro suggestions really. i used to used timeshift to save regular snapshots of my system in case its FUBAR but it can only restore GRUB and not systemd (so ive learnt the hard way) [12:28] is there a snapshot tool that is systemd friendly i can use? [12:31] LaRose_Bleu: making regular offline backups preserves everything [12:34] yeah pragmaticenigma i know but im looking for a reliable automated solution that makes it easy for a noob like me [12:36] LaRose_Bleu: to my knowledge nothing like that exists === beaver is now known as beaver_ [12:37] pragmaticenigma timeshift does it, beautifully. but it doesnt play nicely with systemd boot === beaver_ is now known as beaver^ [12:38] im looking for a systemd friendly timeshift alternative pragmaticenigma. it really doesnt even has to be as good it just needs to work once [12:41] LaRose_Bleu: Try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic... that's the place to ask for software recommendation, conduct polls, or ask for people's opinions [12:41] gotcha [12:58] hi [12:59] how can I restore my system after messing up some installations or settings [13:02] hello [13:05] your install media should have restore options mase-tech [13:09] windows is doning snapshots at certain points in time [13:09] can ubuntu do that also [13:16] Hi [13:16] do you know if it's possible to swithc a zfs install ubuntu to a Zsys compatible one ? [13:44] If I install software using unofficial PPAs, dowloaded deb files or build using makefiles, I'm potentially exposed to malware? [13:45] !ppa | Hamilton [13:45] Hamilton: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [13:46] pragmaticenigma, So all software you use come from PPA? [13:46] Hamilton: No [13:47] pragmaticenigma, You review the source of the apps outside PPA? [13:47] Or just trust the developer(s)? [13:47] Hamilton: This is not a support question, please use #ubuntu-offtopic [13:49] is there a ZFS dedicated ubuntu irc channel ? [13:49] i doubt it [13:50] is there a dev dedicated ubuntu channel ? [13:50] nomad_fr: #ubuntu-app-devel and #ubuntu-dev ... make sure you read the room topics very carefully to determine which one is right [13:51] nomad_fr: sorry the second one should have been #ubuntu-devel [14:09] nomad_fr: for zfs questions, try #zfsonlinux [14:10] Do I really need python 2.7 on ubuntu? [14:11] ducasse: I obtain my answer on ubuntu-devel : Zsys isn’t perfect as it won’t manage manually installed setup :) [14:12] hi, how do I get to pts/0 from pts/1? dpkg seems to be stuck somewhere pts/0 S+ Mar25 0:00 /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-5.0.0-1035-azure.postinst triggered linux-update-5.0.0-1035-azure [14:24] Haled: Only if you want to keep your system up-to-date and be able to use other system tools [14:26] lucido: Azure clound instances are not supported here... you need to contact Azure technical support for help [14:33] My ufw status is saying `inactive`. Is it default? [14:34] Hamilton, install gufw and turn it on. [14:35] nikolam, Do I need to install something to enable firewall? Isn't it really available by deault? [14:35] Hamilton: The firewall is installed by default, but it is not enabled by default [14:36] pragmaticenigma, Why? [14:36] Is there a downside to enaling it? [14:36] Hamilton, ufw is command line tool to set it up, I just use gufw, because it is easy. ufw is also easy. ufw it actually tool for setting up Linux iptables. [14:37] Hamilton: because only you are the best person to decide what you do and do not need it enabled [14:37] pragmaticenigma, So it is not like windows firewall that is always enabled? [14:37] Hamilton, like when you install new machine and want to access it. If you put firewall up before that, you won't be able to set anything up, including firewall, remotely. So there is logic in that. [14:37] Hamilton: again, you are nw in offtopic territory [14:40] Hamilton: If you have a specific support question, please ask it... if your question is to ask "why" something is the way it is, that belong in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:40] pragmaticenigma, thanks === harm_ is now known as urth [15:03] sometimes when I create an ubuntu USB install drive using CLI+dd it just works, but then other times it doesn't and I have to resort to the GUI "create install disk" tool [15:03] why the occasional failure? What is the pattern? [15:13] probly forgetting to unmount the the target drive [15:14] https://ibb.co/fksxP4h deleted Ubuntu and now grub gone too. Have windows 7 on same hard disk as I dual boot. How do I get back to grub to be able to boot Ubuntu cos I don't have the resources to reinstall presently [15:14] drleviathan: could be an unmount issues... could also be how your setting DD to write blocks to the drive [15:15] !grub | rom-- [15:15] rom--: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [15:15] Hey. I'm trying to use debootstrap (with fakeroot and fakechroot) to install an ubuntu. [15:15] Right now, the installation fails, and I get this message: addgroup: The group `systemd-journal' already exists as a system group. Exiting. [15:17] Full log: https://0x0.st/iSND.txt, any idea how to proceed ? [15:17] Pragmaticenigma: I deleted Ubuntu already now how to get grub [15:19] so pragmaticenigma you're saying: the bs= argument matters when using dd to write a bootable image to of=/dev/sdb ? I used bs=1M, as per my notes from previous successful attempts. [15:21] drleviathan: maybe you unplug the usb drive to fast. dd is using the system cache. When dd is finished the kernel may not be finished with writing data to the drive. Try to use sync after dd, before unplugging the drive. [15:21] drleviathan: dd has the status=progress flag [15:21] my issue has nothing to do with azure, I would just like to know how to connect to the pseudoterminal pts/0 to finish the package configuration [15:21] drleviathan: I know that it is recommended... so I think you are doing it right... perhaps try executing "flush" (I think that is the command) and waiting a 15/20 seconds before pulling the drive [15:22] old guy here ... I do sync;sync;sync [15:23] I don't think dd writes anything to a cache before sending to a device... but can't hurt to be certain [15:23] huh. alright I'll try that later today. I have a working install USB drive now for 20.04 but I'll make a second one to see if I can properly sacrifice that rooster. [15:23] rom--: I'm not understanding what you are trying to do [15:25] dd itself doesn't... but the block device layer does [15:25] pragmaticenigma: dd does write to os cache. [15:25] though in any case, AFAIK it's *not* the same cache as the one handled by `sync` [15:25] instead you might want `blockdev --flushbufs` [15:25] interesting, thanks for the tip [15:26] drleviathan: did you see that from grawity ? [15:26] yes, I will add that to my incantation. [15:28] drleviathan: It's from ArchLinus but thats what I always use: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media#Using_dd [15:28] I don't know whether dd's own oflag=fsync and/or oflag=nocache can be used as a replacement... there's also oflag=sync which seems like it makes every individual write synchronous, which might be fine given a large bs= [15:30] Did you see the img I pasted [15:30] Pragmaticenigma [15:30] Very interessting StaockOverflow on dd and sync https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49489798/is-running-sync-necessary-after-writing-a-disk-image [15:31] https://ibb.co/fksxP4h [15:31] holy Legba's trousers: "try repeating the dd medium creation process on the same USB drive one or more times" [15:31] rom--: That doesn't help me understand what exactly you are trying to do [15:32] meanwhile I don't understand "deleted Ubuntu ... how do I get back to booting Ubuntu" part [15:32] what *did* you delete [15:33] I deleted Ubuntu so I thought windows 7 will load and noticed grub deleted too so how I get grub or windows 7 to load as I can't reinstall Ubuntu cos I don't have the amenities here [15:34] you need to ask this in ##windows [15:34] rom--: grub is a linux thingy, for windows boot issues, i guess you need to ask in ##windows [15:34] rom--: You will need to use your windows recovery disk to restore windows... help available in ##windows [15:34] badsektur: was faster [15:34] fastest channel director in the wild west :) [15:35] Shit I just said I don't have the installation disk and so on ... Thought I can do something to restore grub without iso image or so [15:35] rom-- you're bummin'. I would look at that as requiring a complete reinstall of at least ubuntu. [15:35] rom--: mind the language [15:36] Yes I mind and sorry [15:36] I knew a guy who manually edited the MBR to rescue something like that but it was complete magic from my perspective. [15:36] Hmmm [15:37] rom : https://askubuntu.com/questions/493826/grub-rescue-problem-after-deleting-ubuntu-partition [15:37] the Windows installer CD/USB already has necessary tools (bootrec and bcdboot) [15:38] rom--: see the message from zege... that might get at least up and running temporarily [15:47] hello, i'm trying to get my logitech mx master to connect via bluetooth [15:47] (bluetooth mouse) [15:47] i have tried using blueman and it fails to pair [15:48] i have tried using bluetoothctl and "pair

" and it also fails with error "authentication rejected" [15:48] I can't seem to find any resources to get this thing to pair [15:49] https://bpaste.net/U3UA [15:49] RoseBus: are you on gnome? then try the gui: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/bluetooth-connect-device.html.en [15:50] zege, gui fails to pair [15:51] RoseBus: please paste the output from dmesg | grep bluetooth [15:52] zege empty [15:52] bluetooth is functional, my bluetooth headphones are connected [15:53] RoseBus: what kind of bluetooth adapter do you use? built-in or usb? [15:53] built-in [15:54] dell xps 15 9570 is my laptop [15:54] RoseBus: does hcitool scan list the mouse? [15:56] zege no [15:57] RoseBus: that means that the laptop is not seeing the mouse. Maybe you need to set the mouse to a pairing mode? [15:57] the mouse is in pairing mode, i can tell because it's blinking [15:57] and it shows up in the gui === satanist is now known as satanist|hell === satanist|hell is now known as satanist [15:58] funny [15:58] Just offhand, is this specifically a Logitech MX500 mouse? [15:58] Logitech MX Master [15:58] Hm [15:59] others have had issues with the same mouse on ubuntu, i have tried their solutions and they haven't worked for me either [15:59] I had an issue with specifically the MX500 where only every second boot syscle it would work, there was a udev fix for it [15:59] syscle/cycle [15:59] i've tried rebooting :( [16:01] RoseBus: does hcitool lescan list the mouse?
