[00:00] <cluelessperson_> matsaman, yes?
[00:41] <gildarts> Bashing-om: Thanks for your help earlier. Think I have everything sorted now.
[00:42] <Bashing-om> gildarts: :D You do good work.
[01:06] <eggbeater> 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] <eggbeater> Sorry, accidentally hit send
[01:06] <eggbeater> *downloaded them and everything
[01:09] <eggbeater> 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] <eggbeater> t to avoid a full reinstallation as much as possible because of everything I have saved on here.
[01:12] <sarnold> eggbeater: note that 12.04 LTS used a different init than 16.04 LTS
[01:12] <sarnold> 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] <eggbeater> I was afraid so
[01:14] <eggbeater> I will give that a try. Do I just type init=/bin/bash at the shell prompt I get?
[01:14] <sarnold> oh hmm do you already have a shell?
[01:15] <eggbeater> Yes, it's only a # prompt. No tty or option to login
[01:16] <sarnold> can you run apt-get install -f  from there?
[01:16] <sarnold> maybe it'll pick up where it left off
[01:17] <pavlushka> can I have the networkmanager indicator as an individual indicator? not bundled with indicator applet?
[01:17] <eggbeater> sarnold: I've tried that to no avail
[01:17] <pavlushka> on ubuntu-mate
[01:18] <sarnold> 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] <sarnold> eggbeater: if you can do that then perhaps do-release-upgrade can restart?
[01:18] <oerheks> pavlushka, it hink it is part of indicator applet service?
[01:19] <oerheks> c/ i think
[01:19] <eggbeater> sarnold: it gives three errors regarding lock files and inability to write to files
[01:19] <sarnold> eggbeater: which step?
[01:20] <pavlushka> oerheks: me too but I am trying otherwise if possible
[01:20] <eggbeater> sarnold: I just tried ifup eth0 and it also cannot open lockfile /run/network/ifstate.eth0
[01:20] <sarnold> 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] <eggbeater> sorry, the first error I mentioned was with apt-get install -f
[01:21] <sarnold> eggbeater: hmm. is anything mounted on /run ?
[01:21] <eggbeater> sarnold: Yes. initramfs and udev
[01:22] <ecov> how stable is 20.04 beta for everyone
[01:22] <sarnold> hrm, on booted systems it's usually tmpfs
[01:22] <sarnold> ecov: pretty mixed
[01:23] <ecov> 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] <ecov> its all intel, older thinkpad
[01:23] <ecov> drivers shouldnt be an issue
[01:24] <Bashing-om> !18.04 | ecov
[01:24] <sarnold> ecov: probably better to stick to 18.04 at the moment
[01:24] <eggbeater> sarnold: should I try burning a 16.04 live CD and getting the init from that?
[01:25] <oerheks> sarnold +1
[01:27] <sarnold> 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] <sarnold> 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] <eggbeater> sarnold: Awesome. silly question...how would I install the packages from launchpad?
[01:29] <sarnold> 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] <alloy> 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] <eggbeater> 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. Cheers :)
[01:32] <sarnold> eggbeater: good luck
[01:32] <oerheks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo#Sharing_a_Scanner_Over_a_Network
[01:33] <alloy> oerheks, yeah I want to use an HP mfp device that's already connected through wifi, not that... that's the only document I seem to find.
[01:34] <alloy> thanks though
[01:36] <oerheks> alloy, yes, then you end up here; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaneDaemonTutorial
[01:42] <mpoletiek> 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] <mpoletiek>  `sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd` brings it back, but then it goes down again during the next DHCP lease renewal
[01:43] <mpoletiek> 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] <alloy> oerheks, oh thanks.  so I need to run saned as a server even for localhost... got it, cheers.
[01:44] <alloy> surprised that's not in a control panel dialog, maybe I volunteer for that :)
[01:47] <alloy> I think for now I'll just drag my laptop across the room and plug in usb :/
[01:49] <alloy> amazed scanning is still linux kryptonite :)
[01:50] <pavlushka> oerheks: ok, there is no otherwise for Network-Manager, where should I place the feature request, can you tell me?
[01:54] <pavlushka> 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] <pavlushka> *indicators
[02:27] <Robert1111> 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] <oerheks> is that script available in your %path?
[02:30] <Robert1111> yes I am in the tmp directory
[02:30] <Robert1111> I downloaded anaconda....sh to that directory and tried to run it with bash
[02:30] <exit70> hey
[02:30] <oerheks> and is that xyz is yopur /tmp/  available for your user, or just root?
[02:31] <oerheks> -p
[02:31] <exit70> 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] <Robert1111> I downloaded it myself and my user and I can see it
[02:31] <exit70> if i run `dkms status --all`
[02:31] <oerheks> exit70 all linux versions keep 2 kernels installed
[02:31] <exit70> i get `nvidia, 440.82, 5.3.0-46-generic, x86_64: installed`
[02:32] <exit70> so `5.3.0-45-generic` does get the nvidia modules?
[02:32] <exit70> *does not*
[02:32] <oerheks> Robert1111, 'can see it' does not mean executable by your user, ls -la gives permissions
[02:33] <exit70> oerheks, fun fact arch only keeps one by default ...
[02:33] <oerheks> exit70,  you just installed, so the first kernel got no dkms installed for nvidia, likely
[02:33] <Robert1111> -rw-r--r--  1 root   root        0 Apr 13 19:34 Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
[02:33] <oerheks> arch does keep 2 kernels too, not sure what your source is..
[02:33] <exit70> can i manually request a dkms install?
[02:33] <oerheks> Rosee, no x for execute..
[02:34] <mon> hi. is there any tools to scan website and detects if there is any spelling error?
[02:34] <oerheks> Robert1111 *
[02:34] <mon> i am not able to find one
[02:35] <exit70> 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] <Robert1111> so do I need to change the .sh file to allow execute?
[02:38] <oerheks> chmod +654 /path/to/file >> https://askubuntu.com/questions/484718/how-to-make-a-file-executable
[02:39] <oerheks> the 777 is not advisable, it gives permission to all.
[02:39] <exit70> so the solution for my question is `sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 440.82 -k 5.3.0-45-generic`
[02:47] <Robert1111> ok so embarassingly I finally decided to vi the file and it is empty.  Now I crawl back under a rock.  OUCH!
[02:49] <oerheks> Robert1111, use sudo .. it is not reachable for your user;
[03:09] <Rob41> Hi room. Does anybody know how I can delete all lines in a file starting with the line containing a specific word?
[03:10] <NettyDallnt> Halo I have Samsung cd drive I need help overcooking it to speed up cache memory module
[03:10] <Rob41> I know I can delete the line containing a word with sed ... sed -i '/WORD/d' /home/rob/ncufs/file, but I cannot figure out how to delete next lines to the end of the doc.
[03:11] <NettyDallnt> Can u help me rob
[03:13] <Rob41> 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] <NettyDallnt> Oh okay ur very good teacher thx ok so u no how they sell cds that r 32x
[03:13] <NettyDallnt> I want 100x
[03:13] <NettyDallnt> How 2?
[03:13] <oerheks> NettyDallnt, not. it is a hardware limit.
[03:14] <oerheks> one can put the cdrom into an iso, and mount that.
[03:14] <NettyDallnt> Do u think can of compressed air make it spin faster so I can make my beats quicker
[03:14] <Rob41> :))
[03:14] <tonyt> NettyDallnt: just curious. why dont you spell out full words like you, you are, thanks etc?
[03:15] <NettyDallnt> Not mother language
[03:15] <NettyDallnt> soz
[03:15] <tonyt> im sure if the channel ops were around they would tell you to spell out the full words. just an observation
[03:16] <NettyDallnt> Ok sos try am best I am
[03:16] <oerheks> 'u' is certainly bad.
[03:16] <NettyDallnt> Do u need the ubando to over lock cd drive though?
[03:17] <oerheks> ...
[03:18] <Rob41> Is a (sh) script my only solution? No command can perform that task?
[03:19] <NettyDallnt> 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] <oerheks> what is ubando?
[03:19] <tonyt> i think someone is drunk lol
[03:19] <Rob41> ubuntu, I guess.
[03:19] <ledeni> oerheks, LoL
[03:19] <NettyDallnt> No not drunk mother hard first language
[03:20] <NettyDallnt> Ur in  ubando irc how u not know?
[03:20] <oerheks> NettyDallnt, stop that nonsense, thanks
[03:20] <NettyDallnt> Hate idea better I have, WD40 on cd drive shall make spin faster?
[03:21] <Rob41> 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] <Rob41> chance*
[03:21] <NettyDallnt> Okokok
[03:21] <dax> NettyDallnt: hi, please stop trolling in my technical support channel and find something better to do with your time, thanks
[03:22] <Rob41> WD40 would help if your car's exhaust pipe would boot the os.
[03:22] <tonyt> lol
[03:23] <NettyDallnt> 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] <oerheks> there is no overclocking, it is not a chip;
[03:24] <oerheks> oh
[03:26] <kryten> 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.
[03:28] <Rob41> kryten, thanks. Problem solved.
[03:28] <Rob41> Have a good one people.
[05:00] <fightthewalrus> Hello, I've had a problem recently that the filesystem randomly becomes read-only during use, resulting in me not being able to save anything to disk or load new programs. Usually a full system crash follows, with me having to hard reset since `shutdown` is not available.
[05:00] <fightthewalrus> I'm wondering if this means I have a hardware problem in my HDD (possible, though I haven't checked), or if there's any software-side solution I can try?
[05:01] <fightthewalrus> I pasted the full dmesg log here, though I think only the last few lines might be relevant: https://pastebin.com/1iV9XQ9M
[05:01] <fightthewalrus> help or advice is appreciated from those more experienced!
[05:03] <oerheks> in disks > s.m.a.r.t. could tell what is wrong
[05:04] <oerheks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting
[05:05] <fightthewalrus> is that a command or a framework for resolution?
[05:05] <oerheks> disks is a gui
[05:06] <fightthewalrus> thanks, I'll have a look
[05:06] <halcyforn> hello
[05:08] <fightthewalrus> oerheks: just start plain self-tests and that's it?
[05:08] <fightthewalrus> I don't have to unmount the disk?
[05:09] <oerheks> no unmount needed, i guess
[05:10] <halcyforn> maybe someone here give me tip how to in lubuntu add keyboard layout to bottom panel i use one instruction but looks like outdated
[05:14] <masuberu> hi, I have an ubuntu 14.04 machine and I am trying to setup one of the nics with static ip. I edited /etc/networks/interface however service networking restart fails. I can't find any error in /var/log/syslog. Is there any other log I can look at?
[05:15] <oerheks> masuberu, 14.04 is EOL, dead, upgrade please
[05:16] <masuberu> yes I can upgrade but need to fix the nic before that
[05:16] <oerheks> don'edit the interfaces file, use networkmanage?
[05:17] <halcyforn> uhhh this looks like ubuntu dont support multiple keyboard layouts
[05:23] <bluejaypop> Hello, I have a keyboard I plugged via USB to my laptop using ubuntu 18.04, my question is.. is it possible to play music into the laptop's speakers and record audio using a jack server at the same time?
[05:42] <fightthewalrus> oerheks: sorry to ask again, but the SMART tool diagnosed the disk as "Disk is OK." Should I run fsck or any other checking utility just in case?
[05:51] <oerheks> fightthewalrus, sure, try it.
[06:01] <Walflor> hello everyone
[06:01] <halcyforn> hi
[06:01] <halcyforn> uhhh
[06:01] <halcyforn> whats wrong with this system
[06:02] <matsaman> stuff
[06:02] <Walflor> I found out Ubuntu 20 coming soon. So which one should I install (18 LTS or 19) to be able to upgrade in future?
[06:03] <halcyforn> basic lubuntu dont have multiple keyboards, on lxde i have this option but i cant add additional keyboard layouts
[06:03] <oerheks> Walflor, both are upgradable.
[06:04] <Walflor> oerheks, so I can install 19.10 which has 9 month support and upgrade it to 20 which will have 5 years support?
[06:05] <oerheks> Walflor, yes, just set upgrade to 'any new version'  and you are fine
[06:05] <Walflor> oerheks, ok, thank you much c:
[06:05] <oerheks> have fun!
[06:53] <bluejaypop> i fixed the midi port, thanks anyway :)
[07:21] <theborger> is there a command to check the power supplies? like a way to check power draw?

[07:53] <littlekimmy> wat's the way
[07:54] <oerheks> if there is free space next to it, enlarge the extended, then enlarge the /
[07:56] <oerheks> look at fdisk -l to see the exact sectors
[07:57] <littlekimmy> ~there is no gap
[07:57] <littlekimmy> there is data partition next to extended one, i wish to shift it's beginning of sector ... but seems harder
[07:58] <oerheks> well, good luck there..
[07:58] <littlekimmy> There is no space to delete the data partition , I will have to shift it somewhere, ahead...
[07:58] <littlekimmy> it's asses are creating problem.
[07:58] <littlekimmy> you need to first create the partition with the desired end point, then go to the expert menu (x) and use the command b to adjust the beginning of the partition (this changes the partition size,
[07:59] <littlekimmy> can we do that ? shifting the asses
[07:59] <littlekimmy> I don't know it will work or not

[11:56] <ali1234> how do i fix it when my ethernet card is renamed due to predictable interface names?
[11:58] <ali1234> this unanswered question from three years ago describes my problem rather well: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1181416/ethernet-not-working-after-removing-gpu
[11:59] <ali1234> *6 months not three years
[12:03] <ioria> ali1234, do you see the device in lspci -nnk ?
[12:06] <ali1234> yes
[12:06] <ioria> ali1234,  can yo upaste the output ?
[12:07] <ali1234> no because i have no networking
[12:07] <ali1234> not that it will help in any way
[12:07] <ali1234> the problem is that the interface name changed
[12:07] <ali1234> it used to be called enp2s0 and now it is called enp4s0
[12:07] <ali1234> this happened because i plugged in a pci express card
[12:08] <ioria> ali1234,  have you tried to change the pci slot ?
[12:08] <ali1234> the ethernet port is on board but of course it is connected to the pci express bus too
[12:08] <ioria> ah, i see
[12:08] <ali1234> further more this board only has one pci express slot so my choices are plug something in to it, or dont
[12:09] <ali1234> 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] <ioria> ali1234, i suggest you to find a network  adapter so you can connect and paste some infos
[12:11] <ali1234> what kind of infos?
[12:13] <ioria> 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] <ali1234> did you even read what i wrote above?
[12:14] <ali1234> the problem is that the ethernet interface name changed
[12:14] <ali1234> i just need to know how to reconfigure the software so that it uses the new name
[12:14] <ioria> ali1234, ok, use a kernel parameter - net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0
[12:15] <ali1234> that will cause the ethernet device to be named eth0 which is also not equal to enp2s0, therefore it will not work
[12:15] <ioria> ali1234, ok, no other idea, sorry gl
[12:15] <ali1234> i need to know how to reconfigure the ubuntu server network configuration *properly* when an interface name changes
[12:19] <ali1234> okay i found it. the configurations are in /etc/netplan now
[12:20] <clamiax> Hi
[12:21] <clamiax> I'm trying to install Ubuntu mini on a Huawei Matebook D 15 but the wireless card is not detected. It is a Realtek 8822CE which is not available during the installation process. Too bad this laptop has no ethernet card, is there a way to install the relevant driver during the installation process? Thanks in advance for any help
[12:22] <clamiax> I'm still googling a lot but no results yet
[12:23] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: To my knowledge, there is no way to activate a driver using the mini installer disk
[12:23] <ioria> clamiax, very few wifi devices are supported in the mini.iso ; oprions are : use the server ed , use an usb adapter
[12:26] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: I'm pretty sure you're right. Thanks!
[12:26] <clamiax> ioria: can I check the supported cards before downloading the server ISO?
[12:26] <clamiax> I fear the Realtek 8822CE is not officially supported at all
[12:28] <ioria> clamiax, afair, it should be included in the 5.3 kernel (not sure)
[12:31] <pragmaticenigma> 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] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:10ec-c822-103c-85f7
[12:32] <pragmaticenigma> Support for that card is available in kernel version 5.2 and newer

[12:33] <pragmaticenigma> 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] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: this is a good news. So it would works with a mini.iso having linux-5.2, am I right?
[12:36] <pragmaticenigma> 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] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: actually eoan mini.is has 5.3.0-18 (which doesn't works)
[12:39] <ioria> clamiax, the mini.iso kernel is (doh)  mini ; at the end of  the installation it will download the full kernel
[12:49] <clamiax> ioria: ok, I will try with latest Ubuntu server. Hope it will works!
[12:49] <clamiax> Thank you guys for the help
[13:21] <clamiax> Latest ubuntu server doesn't works as well :(
[13:23] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: are you going to use this as a desktop GUI or CLI only?
[13:25] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: desktop GUI but without GNOME and lots of other stuff, why?
[13:26] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: which desktop GUI are you targeting?
[13:26] <clamiax> dwm
[13:28] <pragmaticenigma> 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] <pragmaticenigma> 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
[13:31] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: I will return back the laptop to the store
[14:32] <parak0vsky> I accidentally removed snap derictory now if I try to run application I got something like this
[14:32] <parak0vsky> user@2062:~$ foobar2000
[14:32] <parak0vsky> cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /dev /tmp/snap.rootfs_M5orxX//dev: No such file or directory
[14:32] <parak0vsky> How to fix this? Thank you
[14:34] <kostkon> !details
[14:34] <oerheks> "accidentally removed snap directory" .. interesting..
[14:34] <pragmaticenigma> parak0vsky: you might be able to get it back by starting with "sudo apt-get --reinstall install snapd"
[14:45] <parak0vsky> pragmaticenigma: reinstall didn't help unfortunatelly
[14:45] <parak0vsky> oerheks: i was stupid enough to remove the whole folder
[14:47] <kostkon> parak0vsky, which folder exactly though
[14:48] <parak0vsky> kostkon: I don't remember now but I think it was one mentioned in the output.
[14:48] <parak0vsky> Snap install shit just find it just can't run it
[14:48] <parak0vsky> fine*
[14:50] <oerheks> ~/Snap  i guess?
[14:51] <parak0vsky> no sir it was something in var folder i believe but i might be wrong it was long time ago
[14:52] <kostkon> parak0vsky, have you tried running or installing other snap apps? you could also try reinstalling that specific one
[14:52] <parak0vsky> yes any app the same ploblem
[15:10] <pragmaticenigma> parak0vsky: i'm not having much luck and finding documentation on how to restore a snap installation. #snappy might be a resource you should check out
[15:12] <clamiax> Sorry guys, does it is meaningless that networkctl show wlp2s0? Is it a good news maybe?
[15:12] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: That would mean that a network device was found and is available
[15:13] <clamiax> 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] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: which installer are you using?
[15:15] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: Ubuntu server installer
[15:16] <clamiax> also ip link show prints the wlp2s0
[15:16] <clamiax> I wonder if it's the bluetooth card :\
[15:16] <pragmaticenigma> oh... I suppose that's possible
[15:16] <clamiax> :(
[15:17] <pragmaticenigma> i don't see my BT listed when I do ip link
[15:17] <pragmaticenigma> at least i don't think that is the BT device
[15:18] <ioria> clamiax, have you installed a DE over the server setup ?
[15:18] <ash_worksi> I am looking at a php docker container which will be using a mailhog container; for apt-get it uses the `--no-install-recommends` option... why would you do this?
[15:19] <ash_worksi> (the packages are ca-certificates, curl and git)
[15:19] <clamiax> ioria: I didn't installed anything, I'm stuck on the network configuration
[15:21] <oerheks> ash_worksi, try without --no-install-recommends..? the diff would be your answer.
[15:21] <ioria> clamiax, ok, but the server install  does not depend on the network (like mini.iso)
[15:22] <ioria> clamiax, you can install it offline
[15:23] <clamiax> 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] <ioria> i see
[15:24] <ash_worksi> 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] <myphs> hi, adding a custom application to the dash adds a new icon when launched. how do i prevent this?
[15:24] <ioria> clamiax, i think  you can open a shell, and run lspci -nnk
[15:25] <oerheks> ash_worksi,  try the -d option, dry run
[15:25] <ash_worksi> 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] <oerheks> i think it might pull in a desktop or worse..
[15:26] <ash_worksi> oerheks: "pull in a desktop"?
[15:26] <oerheks> ash_worksi,  dunno, you tell us?
[15:27] <ioria> myphs, you mean that the Icon directive in your .desktop file is not honored ?
[15:27] <clamiax> ioria: I did and the device is there
[15:27] <oerheks> docker containers is not really supported here, you might want to reask the maintainer?
[15:27] <ioria> clamiax,  can we see it ?
[15:27] <myphs> ioria, no, if i launch it i'll get a second icon for the application in the dash
[15:28] <clamiax> ioria: not easy, I can maybe take a photo with the smartphone
[15:29] <ash_worksi> for curl, it's the same output during the dry-run
[15:29] <ioria> myphs, but the icon is the same, right ?
[15:29] <ash_worksi> git is about 10 MB cheaper with the flag
[15:30] <myphs> ioria, that depends on the application, but yes. i think it has something to do with the wm class attribute
[15:30] <ash_worksi> okay I see what it does
[15:30] <ash_worksi> thanks oerheks
[15:32] <oerheks> have fun!
[15:32] <ioria> 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] <clamiax> ioria: https://i.imgur.com/kmqJ3IF.jpg
[15:35] <ioria> clamiax, looks like its detected and the module is loaded
[15:36] <clamiax> ioria: it doesn't works though
[15:37] <myphs> 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] <ioria> myphs, no problem
[15:41] <myphs> ioria: oh, but now i see something: the icon doesn't change dynamically. do you know a solution to that?
[15:42] <ioria> myphs, what you mean 'dynamically' ?
[15:43] <myphs> 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] <ioria> myphs, i think that is a configuration setting
[15:49] <ioria> myphs, i mean, the launcher does not know where to find the other icons
[15:51] <ldsh> 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] <ldsh> I don't even see errors linked to it87 in dmesg (maybe I should filter with another keyword?)
[15:52] <myphs> ioria: hm. when i remove the .desktop file and launch it from the terminal the status is visible in the dash
[15:56] <ioria> myphs, where is  located the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications ?
[15:57] <clamiax> Also I don't understand how connection is supposed to be established without wpa_supplicant (which don't looks installed)
[15:58] <clamiax> Is it possible that my wifi card is working perfectly but Ubuntu Server does not support installation via wireles only?
[15:59] <myphs> ioria: yes, exactly
[15:59] <kostkon> 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] <myphs> 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] <ioria> myphs, how did you install it ? sudo apt install qtox ? or from flatpak, git, etc. etc .
[16:14] <myphs> ioria: sudo apt install qtox
[16:17] <ioria> myphs, try to copy the .desktop in ~/.local/share/applications
[16:22] <myphs> ioria: it doesn't make a difference
[16:23] <ioria> myphs,  use this https://github.com/qTox/qTox/blob/master/io.github.qtox.qTox.desktop    (in .local/share/applications)
[16:23] <sStanleYy> 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] <sStanleYy> using ubuntu 19.10
[16:28] <myphs> ioria: that's what it shipped with. the issue with this one is, that i can't add it to the favorites
[16:28] <ioria> myphs,  neither from Activities menu ?
[16:29] <edf_> cat /tmp/prowerlist | awk '{if ($5 == "us-west-2" && $5 == "not" ) print $3 }'
[16:29] <edf_> anything wrong with this awk?
[16:30] <edf_> it doesnt run
[16:30] <myphs> 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] <myphs> ioria: that's why i added "StartupWMClass=qtox" in the first place
[16:31] <ioria> yes
[16:32] <ioria> myphs, laste idea, you backup the version in /usr/shate/applications and maybe restart gnome-shell
[16:35] <myphs> 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] <ioria> myphs, no noblem; if can't live with that, make the Dock invisible and install another launcher (like plank)
[16:36] <sStanleYy> 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] <punkgeek>  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] <roody> 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] <roody> ?
[16:45] <sarnold> roody: what's the error message you're getting?
[16:45] <Jordan_U> 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] <roody> its been a few years since ive been on irc i forgot how to reply
[16:47] <roody> hold on
[16:48] <sarnold> 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] <pavlos> edf_: testing $5 will always be false
[16:50] <edf_> i fixed pavlos
[16:50] <kostkon> !tab | roody
[16:50] <pavlos> edf_: ok
[16:58] <roody> thanks alot folks i was able to make some progress
[16:58] <sarnold> (I had him install python-is-python2 )
[17:06] <punkgeek> what is the problem in here?
[17:06] <punkgeek>  vgextend /dev/ubuntu-vg /dev/sda3
[17:06] <punkgeek>   Volume group "ubuntu-vg" not found
[17:33] <Sven_vB> 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] <Sven_vB> 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] <vimart> Hi
[17:35] <ioria> punkgeek, maybe ubuntu-vg is not correct
[17:36] <pizzaburger> 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] <Sven_vB> pizzaburger, for HP LaserJets I ususally just use generic PostScript Level 6 and it works.
[17:40] <oerheks>  781 422 591. It says the disk has 781 422 768 sectors..
[17:40] <punkgeek> How can I get th VG name in this command? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/c3xbrKBsry/
[17:40] <oerheks> what you see, is not sectors, but cache memory, 4mb, 8mb, 16mb or something
[17:40] <punkgeek> only vg name which in here called ubuntu-vg
[17:41] <ioria> punkgeek, cd /dev/mapper ; ls -b
[17:43] <punkgeek> ioria: How can I use sed or grep in vgs command?
[17:43] <Sven_vB> 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] <Sven_vB> oerheks, oh did you mean I should change the display unit? I'll try that.
[17:45] <oerheks> Sven_vB, good luck, i tried to explain that is seems to be cache. maybe you can write in cache, not sure
[17:48] <Sven_vB> oerheks, if it were cache, should it lose its data after a few seconds of switching off the disk's power?
[17:49] <oerheks> yes, it should clear.
[17:50] <oerheks> or be filled with other data..
[17:50] <luna-> Any Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Women Meetings tonight?
[17:50] <Sven_vB> in case it helps, smartmonctl says "User Capacity:    400,088,457,216 bytes [400 GB]¶ Sector Size:      512 bytes logical/physical", that divides to 781422768 sectors as well.
[17:50] <Sven_vB> oerheks, thanks, I'll try how persistent it behaves.
[17:52] <clamiax> In case you're interested it works with Ubuntu live
[17:53] <clamiax> (yes, I'm still playing around)
[17:55] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: Thought it might... did you do the lubuntu or xubuntu route then?
[17:58] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: I'm currently using the standard Ubuntu distribution (minimal installation). Once everything worked I see what will be next steps. I will likely go with lubuntu
[18:00] <Sven_vB> oerheks, my data survived 2 minutes w/o power. I think that's a good enough storage mechanism to expose it as a block device. :)
[18:03] <clamiax> I'm glad I hI'm glad I didn't even accept the windows license
[18:03] <clamiax> Sorry for the typo
[18:05] <pragmaticenigma> clamiax: while it's a personal preference of what someone chooses to use as an OS, it's better to stick to more neutral statements here. There is the #ubuntu-offtopic channel where many of us are also located, and is open to expressing your feelings about different operating systems and experiences. Come join us in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:06] <clamiax> pragmaticenigma: I though that just a little bit of OT was fine here. I apologize.
[18:08] <pragmaticenigma> it's alright, just becareful with sparks, infernos can happen quickly
[18:30] <clamiax> re
[18:35] <miguel11> this might be a better place to ask, i need some help to force a certain daemon (or user if it makes it easier) through a vpn on tun0. any idea about this?
[18:35] <lordcirth> miguel11, you want a separate routing table for a user?
[18:35] <lordcirth> Might be easiest to containerize the daemon?
[18:36] <miguel11> lordcirth, i'm trying to get it up and running through docker.
[18:36] <miguel11> but when the vpn link is down, the daemon routes "normally" through eth0 and i don't want that to happen.
[18:37] <lordcirth> Delete eth0? :P
[18:37] <miguel11> then there's no connectivity for openvpn to create the tunnel
[18:37] <sarnold> miguel11: one common approach is to configure the daemon to bind to the specific IP address you've got on the vpn
[18:37] <lordcirth> ^
[18:38] <miguel11> sarnold, sure, but the ip you get from the vpn is dynamic and very likely to change.
[18:38] <sarnold> miguel11: oh, that's unfortunate
[18:38] <lordcirth> miguel11, can you configure the daemon to bind to an interface? Some support that
[18:38] <lordcirth> Then you could specify tun0
[18:38] <miguel11> yes, i thought it'd be oviously to bind to the tun0 itself, but the daemon doesn't support that. must be an ip.
[18:39] <miguel11> s/obviously/obvious
[18:39] <lordcirth> What's the daemon?
[18:39] <sarnold> you might be able to do soemthing like this https://stgraber.org/2014/09/26/vpn-in-containers/
[18:40] <miguel11> lordcirth, deluged, though any other decent bittorrent client with remote client (preferably not merely web gui) should work.
[18:41] <Sven_vB> would anyone else have an idea how I can make the last few bytes of my harddisk a partition? the last sector I can use in fdisk (on bionic, from util-linux 2.31.1) is #781422591 with "Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes", so the next sector would start at byte offset (781422591 + 1) * 512 = 400088367104. dd can read 90112 more bytes, which would be (90112 / 512) = 176 more sectors. I'm using MBR with 2 primary
[18:41] <Sven_vB> partitions and one EBR, so I'm thinking of making a tiny primary partition #4 as far as fdisk allows, then hex-edit its size.
[18:41] <blackswan> "Failed to update apt cache: E:The repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco Release' no longer has a Release file." - is this just me?
[18:42] <lordcirth> Sven_vB, why do you want to do that?
[18:42] <miguel11> lordcirth, any ideas then?
[18:42] <Sven_vB> lordcirth, I want to backup the data in those last few bytes, replace them, and maybe restore it later.
[18:42] <Sven_vB> lordcirth, having them be a partition would make it a lot easier to write them
[18:43] <lordcirth> miguel11, you could bind the docker eth0 to tun0 on another container? Or delete the default route on eth0 and only have a route to the VPN servers.
[18:44] <Sven_vB> miguel11, if it's a network problem in docker and your guest system can reach the docker host, a proxy might help as well.
[18:44] <Sven_vB> on the other hand that error message sounds more like 404
[18:45] <blackswan> oh. they just moved disco to old-releases, apparently?
[18:46] <lordcirth> !disco
[18:47] <miguel11> lordcirth, i don't think running two containers is a reasonable solution to the problem.
[18:47] <Sven_vB> I guess I'll just use a loop device instead of a partition then.
[18:48] <blackswan> yeah, i know it isn't supported, but my sources.list file was working yesterday and i wasn't sure what had happened.
[18:48] <sarnold> but nothing has changed -- you're not getting updates yesterday, you're not getting updates today :)
[18:49] <blackswan> well, my ansible script is getting an error is what changed...
[18:50] <miguel11> Sven_vB, it's not a network problem with docker.
[19:06] <makara> what's the smallest most stripped down version of ubuntu out there?
[19:06] <makara> the alpine of ubuntu?
[19:07] <sarnold> makara: the netinstall image is pretty tiny http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ but I'm not sure if that's ubuntu enough for you to call it ubuntu really
[19:07] <kostkon> makara, what's the use case
[19:08] <sarnold> makara: the cloud images are larger but likely way more useful http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/
[19:09] <makara> sarnold: as long as it has a package manager for me to add whatever i want
[19:09] <Ben64> what do you want to add
[19:09] <Jordan_U> makara: Are you installing in a VM, a container, or an actual physical machine?
[19:10] <makara> well for example I just installed multipass and started up the default vm. But it took for ages to download
[19:11] <kostkon> makara, what took ages to download
[19:11] <Saviq> makara: Multipass uses cloud images from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/
[19:12] <makara> kostkon: according to the docs: It’s most likely going to be the latest cloud image of the newest Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) release
[19:12] <makara> i don't actually know what it downloaded
[19:12] <Saviq> The image is some 300MB
[19:13] <makara> Ben64: nothing
[19:13] <Saviq> https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img to be exact
[19:14] <makara> that's too big. I want to try out multipass
[19:16] <Saviq> makara: that's the smallest image that will actually boot on Hyper-V - nothing smaller is actually meant to be run "by humans"
[19:17] <makara> down with humans
[19:17] <Saviq> makara: if that helps at all, it will only download it once
[19:18] <makara> thanks for the insight

[20:46] <pizzaburger> Hi, trying to install a HP printer on Ubuntu 19.10. Says I need a HP-plugin, so I install hplip and run hp-plugin. But it gets stuck on "downloading plug-in from:" and never progresses. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[20:49] <macoy> If I have a problem with CIFS (mounting Samba shares, where should I go for help with that? I looked at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting , but I don't really understand how to ask the mailing list for help
[20:55] <matsaman> macoy: here is fine; what problem
[20:56] <macoy> matsaman: I found the problem. In my mount command, I needed to specify vers=3.0, otherwise it was brutally slow to list directories. The dmesg output "CIFS VFS: Autodisabling the use of server inode numbers on..." hinted me that something was amiss.
[20:56] <macoy> I had specified both 2.1 and 3, but not 3.0. It would've been nice if there was an "unrecognized version" warning, but oh well :)
[21:04] <pizzaburger> Is Ubuntu always so nightmarish with all printers, or it's just HP ones...
[21:05] <_Sym_> just yours
[21:07] <pizzaburger> Completely fresh Ubuntu install and still have issues, smh
[21:09] <pizzaburger> Could this be the issue? "** (python3:17527): WARNING **: 00:03:47.883: (../atk-adaptor/bridge.c:997):atk_bridge_adaptor_init: runtime check failed: (root)"
[21:09] <pizzaburger> this is while running hp-setup

[21:14] <bremen> Hi all. I am trying to get display working on ubuntu-core vm using wayland. do I need to set environment variables for wayland? thanks for your suggestion.
[21:15] <guntbert> pizzaburger: in my experience printing works fine - I'd need that plugin just for scanning
[21:25] <pizzaburger> guntbert well it says I need drivers, and to get those I need that plugin, which fails to download/install
[21:37] <Mouse0035> i think i joined in just fine
[21:51] <Jordan_U> pizzaburger: You may have missed this message to you earlier: 10:39 < Sven_vB> pizzaburger, for HP LaserJets I ususally just use generic PostScript Level 6 and it works.

[23:17] <sarnold> naamunah: I wonder if you can write into /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/quirks
[23:18] <naamunah> sarnold, just "usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k" into that file?
[23:20] <sarnold> naamunah: I'm thinking just 0bda:8153:k
[23:21] <naamunah> sarnold, and then reboot or what needs to be restarted?
[23:22] <sarnold> naamunah: try unplugging and replugging the device
[23:34] <naamunah> sarnold, worked for some time but after restarting the laptop value is gone and kept the value again .. but now there is not ethernet connection available
