[00:00] matsaman, yes? [00:41] Bashing-om: Thanks for your help earlier. Think I have everything sorted now. [00:42] gildarts: :D You do good work. [01:06] I have a bit of an issue: I was just upgrading from 14.04 Server to 16.04 Server and the power went out when it was installing packages through do-release-upgrade. It had already downloaded them a callnd everything. [01:06] Sorry, accidentally hit send [01:06] *downloaded them and everything [01:09] When it boots up, it goes to the bash shell and it says that there's nothing inside /sbin/init. I can't run apt because it won't connect to the network. I'm trying a 12.04 Live CD I have on hand to see if I can install init through it. So far it doesn't seem like it'll finish booting the Live CD anytime soon. Is there anything else I can try? I wan [01:09] t to avoid a full reinstallation as much as possible because of everything I have saved on here. [01:12] eggbeater: note that 12.04 LTS used a different init than 16.04 LTS [01:12] eggbeater: sometimes you can boot with init=/bin/bash and get a working shell there, that you can then use to repair what's left [01:13] I was afraid so [01:14] I will give that a try. Do I just type init=/bin/bash at the shell prompt I get? [01:14] oh hmm do you already have a shell? [01:15] Yes, it's only a # prompt. No tty or option to login [01:16] can you run apt-get install -f from there? [01:16] maybe it'll pick up where it left off [01:17] can I have the networkmanager indicator as an individual indicator? not bundled with indicator applet? [01:17] sarnold: I've tried that to no avail [01:17] on ubuntu-mate [01:18] eggbeater: maybe you can bring up interfaces by hand? ifup on the nic names you've configured, see if the connection comes up [01:18] eggbeater: if you can do that then perhaps do-release-upgrade can restart? [01:18] pavlushka, it hink it is part of indicator applet service? [01:19] c/ i think [01:19] sarnold: it gives three errors regarding lock files and inability to write to files [01:19] eggbeater: which step? [01:20] oerheks: me too but I am trying otherwise if possible [01:20] sarnold: I just tried ifup eth0 and it also cannot open lockfile /run/network/ifstate.eth0 [01:20] pavlushka: I run i3wm so no idea what the 'usual' thing is, but I use nm-applet to get a little networkmanager interface of some sort [01:20] sorry, the first error I mentioned was with apt-get install -f [01:21] eggbeater: hmm. is anything mounted on /run ? [01:21] sarnold: Yes. initramfs and udev [01:22] how stable is 20.04 beta for everyone [01:22] hrm, on booted systems it's usually tmpfs [01:22] ecov: pretty mixed [01:23] i need to install a distro on my lady's laptop and would feel silly installing 19.10 or whatever with a week left for LTS release [01:23] its all intel, older thinkpad [01:23] drivers shouldnt be an issue [01:24] !18.04 | ecov [01:24] ecov: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) is the 28th release of Ubuntu and the current LTS release. Download at https://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes [01:24] ecov: probably better to stick to 18.04 at the moment [01:24] sarnold: should I try burning a 16.04 live CD and getting the init from that? [01:25] sarnold +1 [01:27] eggbeater: another option is to grab the systemd packages from launchpad or a mirror directly, and skip the live cd https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/18661612 [01:28] eggbeater: though perhaps a livecd would be helpful, I have no idea if there's an easy way to do an upgrade of a system while booted to a live cd, I haven't spent much time with those [01:28] sarnold: Awesome. silly question...how would I install the packages from launchpad? [01:29] eggbeater: download them to a usb stick or similar, then dpkg -i on the things; you may need to grab more and more packages by hand if you go down this route, to satisfy dependencies, I'm not sure how far that has to go [01:31] howdy... anyone got a good link for setting up a network shared scanner in ubuntu? every time I search for it I either get something old or more often something on nmap (Network Scanner lol) [01:32] sarnold: Thank you so much. I'm going to give this a rest tonight and try again tomorrow. Your assistance has been quite helpful! Thank you again.

[01:34] thanks though [01:36] alloy, yes, then you end up here; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaneDaemonTutorial [01:42] Okay, I got a weird one. GCP Ubuntu VM with Apache2+OpenSSL. Everything works fine until DHCP lease is renewed, then HTTPS sites timeout during SSL handshake. HTTP sites work just fine. Wait 30 minutes and the DHCP lease renews again. When that happens the HTTPS sites come back. Wait 30 minutes and DHCP lease renews again, HTTPS sites down, wait 30 and back... [01:42] `sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd` brings it back, but then it goes down again during the next DHCP lease renewal [01:43] at this point I'm about to append that command to the dhcp client script, but I don't really know where to begin there either [01:43] oerheks, oh thanks. so I need to run saned as a server even for localhost... got it, cheers. [01:44] surprised that's not in a control panel dialog, maybe I volunteer for that :) [01:47] I think for now I'll just drag my laptop across the room and plug in usb :/ [01:49] amazed scanning is still linux kryptonite :) [01:50] oerheks: ok, there is no otherwise for Network-Manager, where should I place the feature request, can you tell me? [01:54] sarnold: there is netspeed-monitor but I prefer the networkmanager indicator individually from the indicators set to be ablle to switch between network with a mouse click coz on a 12.5 inch display panel, i have little room for indicator on the panel bar [01:55] *indicators [02:27] Greetings, I am having trouble with current Ubuntu. After install and update bash will not work. I type bash xyz... and it just drops down to another $ without running the bash script. Any ideas why? [02:29] is that script available in your %path? [02:30] yes I am in the tmp directory [02:30] I downloaded anaconda....sh to that directory and tried to run it with bash [02:30] hey [02:30] and is that xyz is yopur /tmp/ available for your user, or just root? [02:31] -p [02:31] so ubuntu tend to keep two kernels version for now on 18.04 it is 5.3.0-45-generic and 5.3.0-46-generic [02:31] I downloaded it myself and my user and I can see it [02:31] if i run `dkms status --all` [02:31] exit70 all linux versions keep 2 kernels installed [02:31] i get `nvidia, 440.82, 5.3.0-46-generic, x86_64: installed` [02:32] so `5.3.0-45-generic` does get the nvidia modules? [02:32] *does not* [02:32] Robert1111, 'can see it' does not mean executable by your user, ls -la gives permissions [02:33] oerheks, fun fact arch only keeps one by default ... [02:33] exit70, you just installed, so the first kernel got no dkms installed for nvidia, likely [02:33] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 13 19:34 Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh [02:33] arch does keep 2 kernels too, not sure what your source is.. [02:33] can i manually request a dkms install? [02:33] Rosee, no x for execute.. [02:34] hi. is there any tools to scan website and detects if there is any spelling error? [02:34] Robert1111 * [02:34] i am not able to find one [02:35] oerheks, source is my arch box, when pacman updates linux package and it overwrites old kernel. it does have a fallback option though [02:37] so do I need to change the .sh file to allow execute? [02:38] chmod +654 /path/to/file >> https://askubuntu.com/questions/484718/how-to-make-a-file-executable [02:39] the 777 is not advisable, it gives permission to all. [02:39] so the solution for my question is `sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 440.82 -k 5.3.0-45-generic` [02:47] ok so embarassingly I finally decided to vi the file and it is empty. Now I crawl back under a rock. OUCH! [02:49] Robert1111, use sudo .. it is not reachable for your user; [03:09] Hi room.

[03:11] Can u help me rob [03:13] NettyDallnt, I'm just learning linux. I run in in a vmware for studying purposes. You can ask, if I know, I will help you out. [03:13] Oh okay ur very good teacher thx ok so u no how they sell cds that r 32x [03:13] I want 100x [03:13] How 2? [03:13] NettyDallnt, not. it is a hardware limit. [03:14] one can put the cdrom into an iso, and mount that. [03:14] Do u think can of compressed air make it spin faster so I can make my beats quicker [03:14] :)) [03:14] NettyDallnt: just curious. why dont you spell out full words like you, you are, thanks etc? [03:15] Not mother language [03:15] soz [03:15] im sure if the channel ops were around they would tell you to spell out the full words. just an observation [03:16] Ok sos try am best I am [03:16] 'u' is certainly bad. [03:16] Do u need the ubando to over lock cd drive though? [03:17] ... [03:18] Is a (sh) script my only solution? No command can perform that task? [03:19] I have ubando 16.04 with rhythmbox it rip and produce my beats quickly but do u think can of compressed air ors maybe a air compressor on cd drive make it produce my beats faster? soz in advance [03:19] what is ubando? [03:19] i think someone is drunk lol [03:19] ubuntu, I guess. [03:19] oerheks, LoL [03:19] No not drunk mother hard first language [03:20] Ur in ubando irc how u not know? [03:20] NettyDallnt, stop that nonsense, thanks [03:20] Hate idea better I have, WD40 on cd drive shall make spin faster? [03:21] NettyDallnt, there's a big change that if you give google translate a try, people would understand what your issue is. Not everyone is able to decode hieroglyphs. [03:21] chance* [03:21] Okokok [03:21] NettyDallnt: hi, please stop trolling in my technical support channel and find something better to do with your time, thanks [03:22] WD40 would help if your car's exhaust pipe would boot the os. [03:22] lol [03:23] Hi, i'm using google translate. I was wondering if there was a way to overclock my cd drive to produce the highest of quality of beats like how a cd says 32x but i need 100x because i'm a truuer. Also are you mr. ubando @ dax? Thanks rob, my teacher. [03:24] there is no overclocking, it is not a chip; [03:24] oh [03:26] Rob41: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/eoan/en/man1/sed.1.html#addresses - you'd want the '$' as the second address for a range there.

[12:07] no because i have no networking [12:07] not that it will help in any way [12:07] the problem is that the interface name changed [12:07] it used to be called enp2s0 and now it is called enp4s0 [12:07] this happened because i plugged in a pci express card [12:08] ali1234, have you tried to change the pci slot ? [12:08] the ethernet port is on board but of course it is connected to the pci express bus too [12:08] ah, i see [12:08] further more this board only has one pci express slot so my choices are plug something in to it, or dont [12:09] anyway, all i need to know is how to reconfigure networking on ubuntu server so that it runs dhcp on the correct interface [12:10] ali1234, i suggest you to find a network adapter so you can connect and paste some infos [12:11] what kind of infos? [12:13] ali1234, unless the problem is in the route, i'd say :lspci, the kernel boot parameter, the netplan config, if you're using NM, ip a, ip route , etc. etc [12:13] did you even read what i wrote above? [12:14] the problem is that the ethernet interface name changed [12:14] i just need to know how to reconfigure the software so that it uses the new name [12:14] ali1234, ok, use a kernel parameter - net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 [12:15] that will cause the ethernet device to be named eth0 which is also not equal to enp2s0, therefore it will not work [12:15] ali1234, ok, no other idea, sorry gl [12:15] i need to know how to reconfigure the ubuntu server network configuration *properly* when an interface name changes [12:19] okay i found it. the configurations are in /etc/netplan now [12:20] Hi [12:21] I'm trying to install Ubuntu mini on a Huawei Matebook D 15 but the wireless card is not detected.

Thanks in advance for any help [12:22] I'm still googling a lot but no results yet [12:23] clamiax: To my knowledge, there is no way to activate a driver using the mini installer disk [12:23] clamiax, very few wifi devices are supported in the mini.iso ; oprions are : use the server ed , use an usb adapter [12:26] pragmaticenigma: I'm pretty sure you're right. Thanks! [12:26] ioria: can I check the supported cards before downloading the server ISO? [12:26] I fear the Realtek 8822CE is not officially supported at all [12:28] clamiax, afair, it should be included in the 5.3 kernel (not sure) [12:31] clamiax: It would appear to have support, though only 2 machines have submitted a profile with that card installed and detected. It is unknown if those machines required installation after the instal completed [12:32] clamiax: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:10ec-c822-103c-85f7 [12:32] Support for that card is available in kernel version 5.2 and newer [12:33] Howdy folks [12:33] clamiax: looks like there is an entry for your particular brand as well: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:10ec-c822-1058-1e25 [12:34] pragmaticenigma: this is a good news. So it would works with a mini.iso having linux-5.2, am I right? [12:36] clamiax: If the mini.iso was built using the 5.2 or later kernel, it would appear to support that card. I don't know what kernel the mini.iso image has though [12:37] pragmaticenigma: actually eoan mini.is has 5.3.0-18 (which doesn't works) [12:39] clamiax, the mini.iso kernel is (doh) mini ; at the end of the installation it will download the full kernel [12:49] ioria: ok, I will try with latest Ubuntu server.

[13:26] dwm [13:28] clamiax: I might suggesting trying the Live disk for Lubuntu or Xubuntu. They are the lightest DE's of the desktop installers, and use lightdm as their graphical login managers. I think they'd be the most universal to getting you started with your Desktop install. I also have a feeling that they might have the needed support for your Wifi card (though I can't promise that as the current trend isn't encouraging) [13:29] it would also be pretty easy to remove those DE's once your up and running and you can switch to your preferred DE pretty easily === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me [13:31] pragmaticenigma: I will return back the laptop to the store [14:32] I accidentally removed snap derictory now if I try to run application I got something like this [14:32] user@2062:~$ foobar2000 [14:32] cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /dev /tmp/snap.rootfs_M5orxX//dev: No such file or directory [14:32] How to fix this?

Is it a good news maybe? [15:12] clamiax: That would mean that a network device was found and is available [15:13] pragmaticenigma: under the SETUP column i get "unmanaged". Indeed the installation dialog don't show any network card. Can I do something that you are aware? [15:15] clamiax: which installer are you using? [15:15] pragmaticenigma: Ubuntu server installer [15:16] also ip link show prints the wlp2s0 [15:16] I wonder if it's the bluetooth card :\ [15:16] oh... I suppose that's possible [15:16] :( [15:17] i don't see my BT listed when I do ip link [15:17] at least i don't think that is the BT device [15:18] clamiax, have you installed a DE over the server setup ?

[15:19] (the packages are ca-certificates, curl and git) [15:19] ioria: I didn't installed anything, I'm stuck on the network configuration [15:21] ash_worksi, try without --no-install-recommends..? the diff would be your answer. [15:21] clamiax, ok, but the server install does not depend on the network (like mini.iso) [15:22] clamiax, you can install it offline [15:23] ioria: I won't clear the partition if I'm not sure it will works properly because I eventually return back the laptop to the store [15:23] i see [15:24] oerheks: I don't know that I am wise enough to understand the difference without explaination really; to me, you install something and voila. So installing something with a flag is just another `voila`. I would imagine that it would maybe install the latest dev release or something; in which case I know to interpret that as `voila w/ potential bugs` [15:24] hi, adding a custom application to the dash adds a new icon when launched. how do i prevent this? [15:24] clamiax, i think you can open a shell, and run lspci -nnk [15:25] ash_worksi, try the -d option, dry run [15:25] but it just says ca-certificates git curl without specifying a specific version, so I would imagine the default would be the greatest release supported in the channel [15:25] i think it might pull in a desktop or worse.. [15:26] oerheks: "pull in a desktop"? [15:26] ash_worksi, dunno, you tell us? [15:27] myphs, you mean that the Icon directive in your .desktop file is not honored ? [15:27] ioria: I did and the device is there [15:27] docker containers is not really supported here, you might want to reask the maintainer? [15:27] clamiax, can we see it ? [15:27] ioria, no, if i launch it i'll get a second icon for the application in the dash [15:28] ioria: not easy, I can maybe take a photo with the smartphone [15:29] for curl, it's the same output during the dry-run [15:29] myphs, but the icon is the same, right ? [15:29] git is about 10 MB cheaper with the flag [15:30] ioria, that depends on the application, but yes. i think it has something to do with the wm class attribute [15:30] okay I see what it does [15:30] thanks oerheks [15:32] have fun! [15:32] myphs, remove the icon from the launcher, open Activities , type the app name, right click on it and Add to Favorites; if it does not work, your .desktop has something wrong in it [15:34] ioria: https://i.imgur.com/kmqJ3IF.jpg [15:35] clamiax, looks like its detected and the module is loaded [15:36] ioria: it doesn't works though [15:37] ioria, yes, you we're right and i was, too; the StartupWMClass wasn't set and without it doesn't know what window the icon belongs to. thanks! [15:37] myphs, no problem [15:41] ioria: oh, but now i see something: the icon doesn't change dynamically. do you know a solution to that? [15:42] myphs, what you mean 'dynamically' ? [15:43] ioria: i run qtox. it changes the color e.g.: when my status is set to "available" it's green, when i'm afk it yellow. if i add it to the favorites it's static with the default icon [15:46] myphs, i think that is a configuration setting [15:49] myphs, i mean, the launcher does not know where to find the other icons [15:51] Hi, when I load "sudo modprobe -v it87 force_id=0x8628" it works fine (I see the sensors of my motherboard), but nothing happens if I put "it87 force_id=0x8628" in "/etc/modules". Any idea? I checked in "/etc/modprobe.d/" and I only see it87_wd that is backlisted (and commenting it do not help). [15:52] I don't even see errors linked to it87 in dmesg (maybe I should filter with another keyword?) [15:52] ioria: hm. when i remove the .desktop file and launch it from the terminal the status is visible in the dash === mateen1 is now known as mateen [15:56] myphs, where is located the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications ? [15:57] Also I don't understand how connection is supposed to be established without wpa_supplicant (which don't looks installed) [15:58] Is it possible that my wifi card is working perfectly but Ubuntu Server does not support installation via wireles only? [15:59] ioria: yes, exactly [15:59] myphs, those are the icons set internally by the app's ui toolkit. You could try locating them in the filesystem if they exist. As I see it you are essentially overriding them with your own icon through its .desktop file [16:09] kostkon: that seems to be a bad idea, since the gnome dash always needs some time to refresh the icons. if not added via .desktop it's instantly [16:13] myphs, how did you install it ? sudo apt install qtox ? or from flatpak, git, etc. etc . [16:14] ioria: sudo apt install qtox [16:17] myphs, try to copy the .desktop in ~/.local/share/applications [16:22] ioria: it doesn't make a difference [16:23] myphs, use this https://github.com/qTox/qTox/blob/master/io.github.qtox.qTox.desktop (in .local/share/applications) [16:23] Hello, is there any way to SAVE 144hz setting in nvidia-settings. It seems everytime I go afk and log back in it is back in 60hz, very frustrating. [16:24] using ubuntu 19.10 [16:28] ioria: that's what it shipped with. the issue with this one is, that i can't add it to the favorites [16:28] myphs, neither from Activities menu ? [16:29] cat /tmp/prowerlist | awk '{if ($5 == "us-west-2" && $5 == "not" ) print $3 }' [16:29] anything wrong with this awk? [16:30] it doesnt run [16:30] ioria: ah, yes, but now i have two icons in the dash again. one is the default icon and one with running application and the status, but the second one is not the one in the favorites [16:30] ioria: that's why i added "StartupWMClass=qtox" in the first place [16:31] yes [16:32] myphs, laste idea, you backup the version in /usr/shate/applications and maybe restart gnome-shell [16:35] ioria: already tried that. i feel like the gnome devs forgot that such things exist. anyways. thanks for your help. i appreciate it [16:36] myphs, no noblem; if can't live with that, make the Dock invisible and install another launcher (like plank) [16:36] Hello, is there any way to SAVE 144hz setting in nvidia-settings. It seems everytime I go afk and log back in it is back in 60hz, using ubuntu 19.10 [16:37] Is there any program to increase the lvm root partition size automatically for different distros? In vmware ESXi, After increasing hard drive, It needs to change the partition in the guest vm which every distro has different configuration. [16:43] hello, im using gimp 2.10.18 on ubuntu 20.04. currently looks like in the install directory for gimp the installer didnt come with a python.interp file. is there anyone in this room that knows a bit about this weird decision to ship the python plugins but not the interpreter [16:43] ? [16:45] roody: what's the error message you're getting? [16:45] roody: #ubuntu+1 for questions regarding Ubuntu 20.04. That said, I suspect that the best way to get an answer to this might be to file a bug report. [16:47] its been a few years since ive been on irc i forgot how to reply [16:47] hold on [16:48] roody: type the first two or three letters of a nickname, hit tab, and keep hitting tab until you get the right nicname :) [16:50] edf_: testing $5 will always be false [16:50] i fixed pavlos [16:50] !tab | roody [16:50] roody: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [16:50] edf_: ok [16:58] thanks alot folks i was able to make some progress [16:58] (I had him install python-is-python2 ) [17:06] what is the problem in here? [17:06] vgextend /dev/ubuntu-vg /dev/sda3 [17:06] Volume group "ubuntu-vg" not found [17:33] using bionic and fdisk from util-linux 2.31.1, I tried to created a small partition at the end of the disk, but I can't get it to extend it beyond sector 781 422 591. It says the disk has 781 422 768 sectors, so I'd expect the last sector's ID should be n-1 = 781 422 767. am I right with that? how can I make my partition extend to the very last sector? [17:34] those last few bytes are the one that I'd like to easily backup and restore, so making them a partition would make that job way easier. [17:34] Hi [17:35] punkgeek, maybe ubuntu-vg is not correct [17:36] Hi, I'm having issues with printing, Ubuntu 19.10. On Devices > Printers, I try to add my HP LazerJet but it finds some random "CUPS-BRF-Printer: one. [17:39] pizzaburger, for HP LaserJets I ususally just use generic PostScript Level 6 and it works. [17:40] 781 422 591. It says the disk has 781 422 768 sectors.. [17:40] How can I get th VG name in this command? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/c3xbrKBsry/ [17:40] what you see, is not sectors, but cache memory, 4mb, 8mb, 16mb or something [17:40] only vg name which in here called ubuntu-vg [17:41] punkgeek, cd /dev/mapper ; ls -b [17:43] ioria: How can I use sed or grep in vgs command? [17:43] oerheks, well, I can dump and write it with lde (linux disk editor), so whatever storage technology it uses, I'd like to create a block device that refers to those bytes. I was thinking of a loop device as last resort, but I'm still optimistic there may be a way to use a logical partition. (it's MBR with EBR for Win8 compat) [17:44] oerheks, oh did you mean I should change the display unit? I'll try that. [17:45] Sven_vB, good luck, i tried to explain that is seems to be cache. maybe you can write in cache, not sure [17:48] oerheks, if it were cache, should it lose its data after a few seconds of switching off the disk's power? [17:49] yes, it should clear. [17:50]
