[00:01] !eol [00:01] End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [00:13] Hello [00:14] while running docker create at ubunu, i am getting "Waiting for IP.. " error. [00:14] what can be solution? === Perfec7 is now known as Perfec7[OFF] [00:42] giaco, for the human-visible name NM will use id=??? from [connection] [00:43] giaco, I usually name my NM config files by their id + .ini [00:50] sarnold: got it! changing the id properties with nmcli changes the contents & the connection filename at the same time [00:50] Sven_vB: Sven_vB nmcli c edit command does the same [00:51] giaco: nice :) === Perfec7[OFF] is now known as Perfec7 [01:08] sorry rfm. was dc [01:11] i'm having a problem with my desktop manager selecton on 18.04. I want to be using gnome-flashback metacity, but after a bunch of problems, they no longer show up as options on my login screen. is there someway to get them back? [01:15] iconoclasthero: Might try ' sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-flashback ' . Reboot, do you now have the option in the login ? === dax is now known as housecat [01:16] no. [01:16] i've probably done that more times than i have fingers. [01:19] iconoclasthero: Humm .. is gnome-flashback availabale to the sytem ' ls -al ls /usr/share/xsessions [01:20] iconoclasthero: ls -al /usr/share/xsessions [01:21] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J4dpBhSR4n/ [01:21] i don't know what it used to look like, but i think the only thing that actually logs in right now is mate. [01:21] and this green is driving me crazy. [01:27] iconoclasthero: Any hints when re-configuring ' sudo dkpg-reconfigure gnome-flashback ' ? [01:28] not a peep. [01:29] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vKTwKTpppW/ === zbenjamin is now known as Guest81345 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:31] iconoclasthero, do you have both gnome-session-flashback and gnome-flashback installed? [01:31] it seems https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gnome-session-flashback is the one that adds the actual session [01:33] no [01:33] i shall add it. [01:34] update-alternatives: warning: alternative /usr/bin/startdde (part of link group x-session-manager) doesn't exist; removing from list of alternatives [01:34] update-alternatives: warning: /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager is dangling; it will be updated with best choice [01:34] update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/gnome-session to provide /usr/bin/x-session-manager (x-session-manager) in auto mode [01:34] gnome-session-flashback.target is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it. [01:35] maybe it will work after a reboot [01:35] however, the /usr/share/xsessions does have the gnome-flashback-compiz & -metacity. [01:35] yeah... i'll do that. [01:45] they showed up. [01:45] i.e., metacity and compiz [01:45] but, although parts of the desktop flickered on for a second on each of them, it just dumped me back to the DM. [01:46] which I THINK is GDM3 because lightdm might not be working right now. [01:46] iconoclasthero: check your logs? maybe ~/.xsession? maybe the user journal? [01:48] ~/.xsession-errors.old is ca. 300k. [01:49] i think a lot of errors are from guake [01:51] iconoclasthero, does it mean you've tried lightdm? did it not work? [01:51] it seems to be a fair amount of private information in there. [01:51] i was running lightdm until this started and was perfectly happy with it. [01:51] iconoclasthero, "this started" = flashback session missing? [01:52] well, i tried to compile something from source and because i had some dependency issues, i decided to solve them creatively. [01:52] hehe. you could try lightdm again now :) [01:53] yeah... [01:56] sven_vb how do i check now? [01:57] hmm... i guess i have to actually reboot... killing gdm3 isn't enough. [01:58] not sure how to ensure lightdm when other display managers are installed. [01:59] iirc dpkg-reconfigure lightdm may be able to do it [02:02] what the hell am i supposed to do with this in the terminal? https://i.imgur.com/6f8sB3L.png [02:02] i cant type anything [02:02] try tab or arrows to try to select that Ok [02:04] haha i found it [02:04] have to hit esc [02:05] man this is so messed up [02:05] you can also select other ways of interacting with dpkg, e.g. via text editor. [02:05] now i select something on the second screen and it takes me back to the first [02:05] you can even specify a custom text editor. I do this to auto-answer known questions, and edit the others remotely via network. [02:05] yeah i didnt have a main.cf file generated though wasnt sure if there was supposed to be anything in there before i edited [02:05] ohh hmm [02:06] did you even intend to install postfix? [02:06] yes [02:06] trying to get mdadm alerts [02:06] then nullmailer may be enough [02:06] way easier to set up [02:07] its getting a postfix error when i send the test email in mdadm [02:07] so i think that is what it has to use [02:07] I'd be surprised if mdadm needs a full-blown local mail server [02:08] I mean, there's no reason it should, just for sending alerts. [02:08] probably mdadm just uses /usr/sbin/sendmail [02:08] anything else would reduce the number of people who could use it [02:09] yeah why would they even bother checking the capabilities of the software behind sendmail [02:10] maybe desktop Ubuntu should start to use nullmailer as the default suggestion for programs that need just any sendmail as a dependency. [02:11] ok yeah i think sendmail will work [02:12] I use msmtp and haven't noticed anything yet that doesn't like it [02:12] but I've heard good things about nullmailer [02:12] both should be way easier to set up than postfix or exim or *shudder* actual sendmail [02:13] I'll have a look at msmtp. maybe it's even easier than nullmailer. [02:13] What's a command that I can use to quickly convert a bmp into png? I don't want to fire up GIMP everytime just for that. [02:13] k_sze: 'convert' from imagemagick [02:13] convert foo.bmp bar.png [02:14] im trying nullmailer [02:15] it seems that the only way my machine will permit me to interact with it graphically is mate on gdm3. [02:17] however, i'm rebooting a lot and that is annoying to begin with but my data drive is loud and something is scanning it every time i log in. how can i figure out what is doing that and how to make it stop? [02:17] k_sze: be careful with imagemagick though -- it's a walking cve factory. it's perfectly fine for images you generate yourself or get off your own cameras, but don't go putting up a web form for the internet to submit photos to it without using apparmor profiles and seccomp limits on it :) [02:17] iconoclasthero, I'd try different desktops then, from low-level up, e.g. lightdm+openbox, then lightdm+xfce, and see how the error logs develop. lower level desktop = less magic that distracts from the relevant errors. [02:18] sorry, not every time i login, every time i reboot. [02:18] unplug your data drive [02:18] sarnold, thanks for the heads up. [02:18] yeah, it's internal. [02:18] iconoclasthero, iotop might show what happens with the drive. I suspect udisksd cleanup, or some "*locate" tool [02:18] I only ever write webapps in Django, and so I usually use Pillow for image manipulation. [02:19] iconoclasthero, on reboot it's expected for your disks to spin up, probably because some services initialize or just for the logging. === Perfec7 is now known as Perfec7[OFF] [02:20] thanks, that at least gives me a place to start. as far as spinning up... it's possible but it extends for quite some time. [02:20] it's a 4 TB drive and it's probably 2/3 full [02:20] 57% [02:22] hmm i got Google blocked the app you were trying to use because it doesn't meet our security standards. [02:22] then i allowed it [02:22] i thought it might be minidlna or deluge. they would both be scanning. [02:22] still doesnt seem to be sending anything lol [02:23] k_sze: not sure if there are CVEs applicable to the latest version of imagemagick [02:23] i also found an installation of sonar i that i believe is active that i vaguely remember installing a while back. [02:26] do i have to do anything with nginx for nullmailer? [02:30] sven_vb, i've been limping along here until i can get 20.04. thanks for the help. [02:38] ugh cant get nullmailer working even though it gave me a security prompt on gmail and i allowed it [02:38] seems like its reaching gmail at least [02:39] if you want it to work with gmail you'll probably need to generate a per-application password for it, too [02:40] i think the defaultdomain thing is what im getting wrong [02:42] ahh you might be right sarnoid [02:47] GRRRR [02:49] generated app password, put it in the config following this guide https://wiki.debian.org/nullmailer#Installation_Examples_-_GMail [02:52] Apr 16 22:51:24 mibix-module nullmailer-send[2717]: smtp: Failed: 454 4.7.0 Too many login attempts, please try again later. g6sm2782317ooo.41 - gsmtp [02:52] lmao [02:52] * Mibix dies inside === vlm_ is now known as vlm [03:11] hello [03:11] I have a problem [03:11] I am running apache server and I can access the website via the public IP address from all the computers on my network [03:11] except the computer its hosted on [03:11] I tried a new apache install on my laptop, and it works fine [03:12] accessing the website hosted on the laptop via the public IP address works fine [03:12] I cannot do the same on my desktop === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [03:29] Hi all, for anyone who was here before - I've run through the 19.04 to 19.10 upgrade. Upon reboot I got the "grub_file_filters not found" boot issue that some people have had (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1183951/grub-file-filters-not-found-after-ubuntu-19-10-upgrade). I've followed the instructions of chroot'ing into the fs and re-installing grub. On rebooting again I'm not facing a standard grub [03:29] prompt. I'm stuck with how to attempt booting from here. === anon is now known as Guest21343 [03:55] if i install 20.04 beta, it will upgrade to 20.04 stable automatically without problems, right? [03:56] that's the theory, but you should probably still talk to #ubuntu+1 [04:11] !final | mfilipe[m] [04:11] mfilipe[m]: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Focal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 20.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade » in a terminal. === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [04:27] Hello! How do I configure Lubuntu live to ignore power button presses? I have a computer that's messed up such that if you hold it the wrong way or close the lid too firmly it triggers the power button. I'm introducing my mother to Linux using Lubuntu Live. If it reboots, any configurations will be undone. [04:32] Copenhagen_Bram: well, the configurations shouldn't be undone, but [04:32] Copenhagen_Bram: https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/3/3.2/3.2.12/power_management.html [04:36] Hmm [04:37] lxqt-config-powermanagement doesn't seem to have any options for the power button though [04:37] I've solved it though: I edited /etc/systemd/logind.conf and ran systemctl restart systemd-logind [04:41] What is a good software for basic (think mspaint) image editing for Ubuntu? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [04:43] pillager86: gimp [04:45] Ok also does Ubuntu by default let the PC stay on without suspending or do I have to configure something? [04:45] I have important cron jobs scheduled every 30 minutes and I don't want the PC falling asleep [04:45] if it's a desktop, probably won't suspend by default, but check your power manager prefs [04:47] ok thanks [04:47] should be easy to find from Settings [04:59] lotuspsychje: thanks === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant === Scotty_Trees3 is now known as Scotty_Trees === beaky_ is now known as beaky [05:36] hi [05:37] hello, how do I get everything on my system in english, but 24h clock and metric units? [05:37] I've looked through all the settings, but somehow my system language is german [05:39] What does emergency mode in Ubuntu mean? I'm getting multiple ACPI errors and two nouveau errors which might be causing this. [05:40] CQ have you checked https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/session-language.html.en ? [05:40] Also please post which version of Ubuntu you are running? [05:41] Latest Eoan, and using KDE, I can't find the setting you referenced [05:43] A1Recon, I've looked through all the plasma settings, and English is the default language wherever I can find it [05:44] CQ I haven't used KDE in years. Can you find the Win/Super key on your keyboard and hit that? Does it bring up a search bar or dash of sorts? [05:44] I am in the regional settings for plasma [05:45] the weird thing is also that things like Apt are in German [05:46] CQ type in `locale` in your terminal and show the output [05:46] `locale` [05:46] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FSb3NVGFj6/ [05:47] LANGUAGE=en_US:de ... what does the :de at the end mean? [05:47] de stands for german [05:47] duh, I know that. [05:48] ...but en_US is the language, what is the :de pasrt at the end? what does it affect? [05:48] is it the character set? [05:50] sorry mate i am a newbie... literally googling everything [05:50] about locale [05:52] CQ this is a good article on setting locales https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Configure_Locales_in_Ubuntu [05:54] Stupid question: I'm experiencing an AMD GPU bug that appears to be fixed in kernel 5.6 [05:55] is there any chance this fix would make it into Ubuntu 20.04? [05:55] bug thread: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/issues/900 [06:27] hi, on my ubuntu 16.04 wifi is superslow, once I change it to precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 its working super fast, why is that ? also changing to precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 makes my docker not being able to fetch stuff from registry [06:27] is there any proper way t ofix this? [06:27] basically without precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 my net speed is 0.5mbps [06:27] with precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 its 50 Mbps [06:27] why is this? [06:49] VLC seems to be using cpu 100% for 4K decoding [06:49] how do I pursue making sure it's using hardware acceleration? [06:56] So, my machine is ubuntu certified [06:56] but I'm finding that "certification" doesn't include, supporting video drivers, for example, which is concerning. [06:56] haha [06:57] lspci |grep VGA? [06:58] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake) (rev 02) [06:58] I mean I could be wrong, but I'm not finding much way to troubleshoot it [06:58] uh no idea really, only got nvidia hardware [06:59] cluelessperson_: it's a laptop? [06:59] https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop must be one of that? [06:59] tarzeau, yes. [07:00] https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201906-27127 [07:00] you could try running hw-probe and then check the URL [07:03] https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=5e96e26347 [07:03] tarzeau, ^ [07:04] if you scroll down you see your graphics thing, with status works, no notes [07:05] https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:8086-3ea0-17aa-2292 [07:05] that'd be the hardware you mean by pci id [07:05] you got kernel 4.16 or newer? [07:06] cluelessperson_: here's what i found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration [07:06] got linux-firmware installed? [07:06] guess you're on 18.04? [07:06] cluelessperson_ hello there . I have the same GPU, let me show you whats my output . This was a 2K footage with vlc [07:06] VLC media player 3.0.9.2 Vetinari (revision 3.0.9.2-0-gd4c1aefe4d) [07:06] [000055a3970e15b0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [07:06] Gtk-Message: 08:04:51.982: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" [07:06] libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0 [07:06] libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so [07:06] libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_7 [07:06] libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 [07:06] maybe that intel-hybrid-codec-driver (no idea if it exists for ubuntu) [07:06] [00007f9f0cc0f570] avcodec decoder: Using Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 20.1.1 () for hardware decoding [07:07] Hi, I got AMD A10-5750M APU HD graphics...is there a way to install extra amd firmware on Ubuntu? [07:08] I tried the GUI thingy and nothing shows up [07:08] the 'additional drivers' tab [07:08] mesa does all the job. You dont really need to do anything [07:08] mbnt [07:08] tarzeau, so, it says vdpau isn't available, so I installed libvdpau-va-gl1 and now it shows that it is [07:09] mesa didn't do the job for me [07:09] I sort of got a feeling that more drivers are 'out there' [07:09] Ahh, install the MESA [07:09] I tried, didn't work [07:09] takov751, That shoudl do me? [07:09] libvdpau-va-gl1 makes vdpau-info happy [07:09] mbnt i meant the mesa comment for you [07:09] cluelessperson_ Do you have a nvidia gpu? [07:10] takov751, The padoka ppa perhaps? [07:10] Paolo Dias [07:11] takov751, no [07:11] yo [07:11] mbnt i dont think you need it. If you are using amd apu just go with the latest mesa available on your system which is installed by default [07:11] how can I get encryption on 18.04 but with dual boot win? === Euph0ria is now known as EuphOria [07:11] cluelessperson_ then you dont need libvdpau as its a nvidia thingy [07:12] takov751, The default is not good. I feel there is better to be had. How do I check what Ubuntu like-a-version I am? === EuphOria is now known as Euph0ria [07:13] takov751, so I'm going to uninstall it again [07:13] takov751, what *DO* I need? [07:13] cluelessperson_ you just have to install the `intel-media-va-driver` or there is a non-free version as well,however i have no idea if its comes with any good thing [07:13] and how do I navigate this space instead of feeling blindly in the dark [07:13] black box bs [07:14] * cluelessperson_ tries the nonfree driver [07:14] cluelessperson_ try `sudo apt install intel-media-va-driver i965-va-driver` for a start and see if its all installed [07:14] the free one is already installed [07:14] nice i have the same [07:15] and as you saw it was working for me as well [07:15] those are both installed already [07:16] no change [07:16] VLC is still using high cpu [07:17] mbnt if you need vulkan and glx for gaming or something similar i would recommend you this : https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/Installing-drivers thats the latest i can give you the kisak mesa . And read the DXVK and Esync tab as well on the right hand side . GLHF [07:18] cluelessperson_ ok If you run the vlc in the terminal `vlc $VIDEOFILE` whats the output. Please use https://paste.ubuntu.com/ [07:18] That will give you a proper debugable answer for your problem whats missing [07:18] as i have shared beforhand [07:19] We have to know what your system missing [07:20] cluelessperson_ Quick question Does this two installed as well ? `sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras ubuntu-restricted-addons` [07:20] these contains some non-free codecs which might be a pain later on [07:20] if missing [07:23] takov751, no, not installed. [07:23] Ok that might be helpfull [07:24] takov751, what am I looking for in vlc log? [07:25] after you installed please run vlc from terminal and see if its using libva correctly what you have to see that `libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0` which says that yes hwaccel driver loaded and working [07:26] takov751, It is less about games, more about watching movies without tearing. I dual boot, on Windows, playback is smooth, on Linux, not so much. === leion1 is now known as leion [07:27] libavcodec ? [07:27] takov751, ^ [07:29] is anyone here familiar with the video pipeline anyway? [07:30] mbnt try run `xrandr -q` ,than the output which you are using use that use something like this where your output is in this example is HDMI-1 `xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set TearFree on` [07:31] this is a temporary solution ,but might give you an idea if thats the problem [07:31] cluelessperson_ any success? [07:31] takov751, none whatsoever [07:31] takov751, I need a sensible pipeline of components. [07:31] weird indeed. And i presume its a fresh install [07:31] thing > thing > thing > thing > display [07:32] not this, "try installing random crap and hope it works" [07:32] takov751, Ahh, thanks [07:32] takov751, I am not really a gamer, unless it is 20+ years old [07:33] takov751, and linux games [07:34] cluelessperson_ I see your point however , it is indeed hard to help without knowing the context . As i said earlier vlc in terminal could give you a proper feedback whats wrong. Thats the best solution i could think of. If something missing by default that something needs to be adressed so it wont be a problem for users later on. [07:34] takov751, I don't even know what to look for. VLC outputs thousands of lines of info depending on various things. [07:35] mbnt there are plenty good games on gog.com ,on steam which are great for that specs you have :D there is retroarch as well . Or even startcraft works with lutris with a simple install script :D [07:36] takov751, I have a desktop with more powerful graphics, but that is for video editing. I just prefer older games. [07:37] cluelessperson_ you need the lines which starts with `libva info` as your hardware is the intel and libva is the driver for the intel GPU s [07:38] takov751, vlc --verbosity 2>&1 | grep libva returns nothing. [07:38] vainfo also doesn't seem to include h265 [07:38] does have h264 [07:39] takov751, Sometimes on desktop I play 0AD, it is fun. [07:42] cluelessperson_ you dont even need verbosity [07:42] takov751, I used to use Lightworks for video editing on Linux with AMDGPUPRO, but need a more powerful card for Blender, minimum 8 gigs for video editing [07:42] as it is in the normal output [07:42] I just have fourgigs : - ( [07:42] takov751, I think your tearing thing is working! [07:42] right thats only a temporary solution [07:42] takov751, Have not seen any tearing yet. : - ) [07:47] takov751, vlc doesn't output anything without verbosity [07:48] I mean it does.. .uh, let me check [07:48] takov751, oh I see [07:48] `Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_va_gl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory` [07:48] hrk [07:49] mbnt I know its not ubuntu ,however if you follow this section of the archwiki tear free setting will be enabled allways . Weird that this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU#Xorg_configuration [07:49] cluelessperson_ than you have to remove libvdpau and vdpau packages as they are not working === leion1 is now known as leion [07:52] takov751, I see this here: `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vdpau/libvdpau_va_gl.so` [07:53] yes thats the backend which uses your GPU Opengl as video decoding hardware ,which is not suitable for your hw as you have a hwaccel capable GPU [07:54] takov751, oh, so opengl is a more generic gpu driver being used for vdpau [07:54] takov751, where as I probably want a more direct gpu vdpau driver [07:54] ? [07:55] but it *is* there though [07:56] vdpau driver is used by nvidia as they have vdpu chips on board, however intel hw support something called VAAPI [07:56] which is the libva [08:00] takov751, well, I'm confused, because I use vdpau-info and I get results [08:00] well it supports several things [08:01] takov751, https://bpaste.net/3WHA [08:01] yes as its by default goes vdpau > libva , in case if libva not avalaible libva_gl [08:02] libva2 is installed [08:02] `libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so` [08:02] seems to support things [08:03] takov751, https://bpaste.net/IFEA [08:03] vainfo [08:03] It seems you have hw accel [08:03] takov751, yeah, but it seems vlc isn't using it [08:07] OMG, I'm dumb [08:07] instead of "Video" it's "Input/Codecs" [08:07] OOH BOI we just overcomplicated everything :D [08:08] takov751, instead of automatic I set it to va-api [08:08] takov751, so it's maintaining 20%-50% of each of the 8 cores, instead of 75-100% of all the cores. [08:08] So, that's a major improvement [08:09] nice :) [08:10] What does this mean from Locale: LANGUAGE=en_US:de ...I undertstand the en_US part, but what aboutthe DE (German) after the colon? [08:10] takov751, it appears to me that the vd-pau driver may actually redirect back to va-api [08:11] no cpu change when setting it to vd-pau [08:11] * cluelessperson_ tries va-api -> automatic to watch the cpu go up to confirm [08:12] yes , thats the default it something like a fallback solution in case the vdpau not available , weird sadly i have no footage to test it with my own GPU [08:13] cluelessperson_ i just had an idea. Does the videofile comes from a NTFS filesystem partition ? Like an external HDD or a Windows shared partition? [08:14] takov751, the videofile is 25GB and is coming from a smb share through nautilus / gvfs [08:15] That might be the CPU useage, as its a big chunk of the data to move temporary on your device [08:16] takov751, I don't think so. [08:18] takov751, 25GB is basically 3-5 MBps, and my wifi card is currently connected at 400Mbps [08:19] fair point. I cant think of anything else . [08:20] I have to go , I do hope i could help you cluelessperson_ [08:20] :D Good day to you [08:20] takov751, thanks [08:20] takov751, Thanks for all the help! [08:22] tarzeau, thanks for the helpful info command [08:31] software updater has started to cause problems. it will run and update but never close. just hangs. if i try to view its settings, i can, but on closing them, software updater just sits there, greyed out. if i run it from the cli it reports the following; '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py:40: PyGIWarning: Gdk was imported without specifying a version first.

[08:38] or run manual; sudo apt clean && sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade [08:42] oerheks, thanks. i don't have a ~/.cache/gnome-software file/folder? will try other option. === leion1 is now known as leion [08:42] what version are you on? [08:44] oerheks, apt commands ran without issue. software updater still hangs. [08:44] oerheks, 16.04 [09:12] Hi. I'd like to deploy ubuntu-cloud ova, and setup with seed iso. After the ova deploy the seed iso is inserted, and the host change the hostname as it says in the meta-data, but the user-data or any network config doesn't applied. [09:29] I installed 20.04 about 10 days ago from the (at the time) latest image. I have been constantly updating, upgrading, dist-upgrading, whic is fine. What do you reckon my chance is of having a stable system once all the images/packages are completely locked down and final for the fossa release? Do I really need to nuke and pave again? [09:30] wattsra, probably will work [09:30] yeah - I think I should be fine. just wondering if there is anything drastic that I should consider purging and reinstalling? [09:31] if it ain't broke don't fix it [09:31] I upgraded from 19.10 today and everything seems to work [09:32] :-) [09:33] well it's not released yet still [09:38] release candidate released today/yesterday, pretty much a done deal [09:41] it's not over until end of day on the 23rd [09:43] Ben64 +1 [10:31] hi [10:36] i always had an issue when in non graphic mode. is there someone capable to solve the clipboard stuff when in terminal pure? [10:45] joeatt, please explain what you are trying to do, and what ubuntuv ersion [10:47] oerheks: crtl c + ctrl v in pure terminal. actuallly is debian but works the same way [10:48] to paste in terminal, ctrl + SHIFT + v.. [10:48] and you better join #debian, thanks [10:50] oerheks: I suppose must have gpm installed aint? [10:50] debian? [10:51] oerheks: ok got it [11:11] Hi folks [11:11] hey [11:15] What is the `ubuntu` user/home folder for? [11:17] apache2 install might have made it [11:17] just curious [11:28] Hi. on dual boot (win/ubuntu) there is a way to setup grub in way that every boot it chooses either windows or ubuntu. ideally once windows, next time it boots ubuntu. [11:29] ghost2911, err, no but you can make it always show a menu for x seconds [11:29] with a default [11:30] it's for remote access, I don't see the boot screen [11:30] MJCD: The 'ubuntu' user is a default user for some installations. This may also depend on exactly what version of Ubuntu and if it is from normal install files provided by Canonical for bare metal or for cloud. For example, I have apache installed on multiple bare metal machines and have no such user. [11:30] it's like workaround [11:31] JimBuntu, mmm, interesting [11:31] that only raises more questions lol [11:31] ghost2911: You could possibly set up scripts in both environment that change/update grub to boot to the other OS by default. I do not have step by step directions for this. [11:33] !grub [11:33] 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 [11:33] see the manual, howto set windows primairy [11:34] oerheks: Are you aware if grub has a built-in option for default boot rotation? [11:34] ? [11:36] no, such weird option does not exist. [11:36] ) exactly I need this boot rotation [11:38] There is no documention for doing this. in 12 years, you are the 1st person to ask this [11:39] ghost2911: You can use the grub documents to see how to do this in Linux... automatically reconfigure the boot option to value 2, for example. So, what was 2 becomes #1 and what was 1 becomes number 2. Then you'll need to figure out how to perform the same changes from within a booted Windows environment. [11:39] I was thinking maybe grub customizer or something [11:43] ghost2911: About the only other help I can offer is that you don't really have to change the placement values of which one is on top, you can detail any option to be the default AND be careful that your solution considers kernel updates that could throw this system off. Good luck! [11:44] thanks! [12:42] ugh i still cant figure out this nullmailer thing [12:42] it sends the emails twice [12:43] then like 15 minutes later it sends Your message wasn't delivered to root@mibix-module.mibix-module because the domain mibix-module.mibix-module couldn't be found. [12:53] oh wait its sending all error messages to the wrong address root@hostname.hostname for some reason [12:59] Hi guys, does anyone know where I can get support for Ubuntu 20.04 beta? [12:59] TheD3m0nPriest, join #ubuntu+1 [12:59] Thanks oerheks [12:59] :-) [13:08] ,asdf;alsdfj;las [13:09] why cant i change the default address it sends root messages to [13:10] i added root: myemail@gmail.com to /etc/aliases [13:10] nothing seems to have changed [13:16] hello room :] [13:18] hi [13:20] hiya [13:22]
