[00:22] <Xeteen> adrian15: let me try that
[00:26] <Xeteen> adrian15: fstab doesnt have a line for this, here's the output from `mount` which I'm guessing is not of much help https://pastebin.com/0MwmpRe7
[00:28] <adrian15> Xeteen: Which line from there you want to be converted into a mount command?
[00:28] <Xeteen> the last one
[00:36] <Xeteen> adrian15: no worries, forget about it, it won't work
[00:37] <Xeteen> I mean I put the path in Nautilus' "+ Other Locations" and it works
[00:37] <Xeteen> I add the very same path in fstab and I get the same error: No such file or directory
[00:37] <Xeteen> so there's a problem with the path
[00:37] <Xeteen> fuck it
[00:47] <adrian15> Xeteen: If you add the path as a mount point it needs to be created and empty before using it.
[00:47] <Jordan_U> Xeteen: Please watch your language in this channel. I haven't read all of the backlog yet, but you might want to be using gvfs-mount .
[00:47] <Xeteen> Jordan_U: oops sorry
[00:48] <Xeteen> adrian15: yup I created it and it's empty
[01:00] <Zeloz> Anyone run into the issue where it says (can't create directory, permission denied) but are in the root group as well as others?  I was able to create directories without issue on the older Ubuntu 14.04 server but the issue arose after compressing/downloading the directory and then extracting it on the new server running Ubuntu 18.04.3
[01:01] <sarnold> apparmor can confine root processes; check dmesg for DENIED messages, or check audit logs if you have them enabled, /var/log/audit/audit.log
[01:02] <Zeloz> I do not appear to have an audit directory under log
[01:04] <CarlFK> "root group"  - other than a group called root, not sure what that does for you
[01:05] <Zeloz> yeah, the group called "root"
[01:05] <Zeloz> I am able to change the ownership and attributes of the files/folders, just cannot create them
[01:07] <CarlFK> sudo touch x ... that work or touch: cannot touch 'x': Permission denied
[01:09] <Zeloz> I did sudo touch [directory] and it just returned to prompt
[01:09] <Zeloz> no error though
[01:10] <Jordan_U> Zeloz: The output of "getfacl /path/to/directory" and the exact command you're using to make the directory, would be helpful to understanding.
[01:10] <Zeloz> I'm using Webmin for the creation of the directories under normal use
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Zeloz: Can you reproduce the problem with a normal linux command, and pastebin that command and its output?
[01:12] <Zeloz> if I do mkdir test, it just says permission denied (using terminal)
[01:13] <Zeloz> sudo of course works, but I can't do that in Webmin
[01:17] <sarnold> Zeloz: ah, so you've got a webmin running, and you're trying to do some tar unpacking or something similar through webmin, and you're getting errors?
[01:18] <Zeloz> correct, I did a tar extract from the other servers folder
[01:18] <sarnold> Zeloz: are you getting errors that prevent unpacking at all? or are you getting errors that the unpacked tarball has different username or group and the unpacking process can't change the ownershipt o match?
[01:18] <Zeloz> there were no errors that I'm aware of
[01:18] <sarnold> unprivileged users can't change file ownership
[01:18] <sarnold> so if the tarball has files owned by multiple owners, and you want them to have multiple owners on the destination system, you'll need to unpack the tarball with root
[01:18] <Zeloz> I can change the ownership and permissions, just not add any folder/files in
[01:19] <sarnold> who owns the directory that you're trying to write into? what are the permissions on that directory?
[01:19] <Zeloz> 775
[01:19] <Zeloz> I made it recursive, that and the owner is my user now as well
[01:20] <sarnold> and what uid is webmin running as?
[01:20] <Zeloz> my user
[01:21] <sarnold> are all directories above the directory in question also readable and executable by the uid webmin is runnign as?
[01:22] <Zeloz> I was able to put a file/folder in one of the above directories without issue
[01:23] <Zeloz> I think it was the base directory that was copied
[01:23] <Zeloz> that I can add files/folders
[01:23] <Zeloz> but nothing below that
[01:28] <Jordan_U> Zeloz: Please pastebin the output of "getfacl /path/to/directory/" and "ls -ld /path/to/directory/"
[01:30] <Zeloz> $ getfacl mods
[01:31] <Zeloz> drwxrwxr-x 498 username solder 20480 Apr 18 01:09 mods
[01:36] <Jordan_U> Zeloz: And what is your username?
[01:37] <Zeloz> it's all lowercase, single word, it's part of my name so yeah
[01:42] <Jordan_U> Zeloz: And you're in the group "solder"?
[01:43] <Zeloz> correct
[01:43] <Jordan_U> Zeloz: Can you double check that by running "groups"?
[01:45] <Zeloz> it shows as users root and sudo
[01:45] <sarnold> 'groups' just reports what the current process has, which may be different than the process that's trying to do the unpacking
[01:46] <pavlos> Zeloz: try the command "id" it should list all the groups the user belongs to
[01:46] <Zeloz> uid=1002(username) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),0(root),27(sudo)
[01:49] <pavlos> Zeloz: username does not belong to solder group so username cannot write to mods (which is 775)
[01:50] <Zeloz> hmm, so is Webmin not showing correctly the group membership settings I have put in?
[01:51] <Jordan_U> !webmin | Zeloz
[01:51] <Zeloz> is there alternatives?  Besides CLI
[01:53] <pavlos> Zeloz: maybe you needed to logout/login from webmin ?? ... you can add group solder to username with, sudo usermod -a -G solder username
[01:56] <Zeloz> tried to add my username to that group and run id again to no avail
[01:56] <pavlos> Zeloz: you'd need to pop a new term, then run id
[01:57] <Zeloz> I'll give that a shot
[01:58] <Zeloz> uid=1002(username) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),0(root),1(daemon),27(sudo)                   ,33(www-data),37(operator),1001(minecraft),1002(solder),1003(mc                   1),1004(mc2),1005(ftp1)
[01:58] <pavlos> Zeloz: you have it, 1002
[01:59] <pavlos> Zeloz: now can you write something into mods/ ?
[01:59] <Zeloz> looks like?  Let me try non CLI
[02:00] <Zeloz> nope, let me reboot the system
[02:25] <pavlos> Zeloz: if you're back, I installed webmin on a remote system and was able to log on and look at the dashboard. Since I came late to the thread, how can I test what you did with mods/ ?
[02:26] <Zeloz> hmm, not sure if it would be easy, I had an older system running webmin
[02:26] <Zeloz> that I compressed folders/files
[02:26] <Zeloz> and extracted them
[02:32] <Zeloz> if there wasn't 10gb or so of files, I'd have done it manually... lol
[02:35] <pillager86> how do I set up a PHP development environment on Ubuntu? NetBeans doesn't work just says 404 file not found when I run it even though I installed Apache
[02:40] <pillager86> nm i figured it out
[04:37] <econdudeawesome> Hi all. I am on an old Ubuntu 19.04 that I didn't realize was beyond End of Life. How can I dist upgrade?
[04:41] <ansimita> econdudeawesome: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EoanErmine/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_19.04
[05:29] <Assid> heya.. how do i setup a rule like ufw allow <app> from <ip>
[05:31] <oOBadDreamOo> hi im having a problem in xubuntu and was hoping to find some help
[05:31] <oOBadDreamOo> ive been trying to fogure it out for about 4 hours but cant get anywhere
[05:32] <oOBadDreamOo> i have an xbox one wireless controller setup and working fine except that when i press the guide button it opens my browser and kicks me out of steam
[05:39] <theshagg> Ugh, 20.04 Beta is unusable with multiple displays on AMD gpus.
[05:54] <stiltrumpelskin> does anybody know how to view contents of directory with root ownership and rwx------ permissions in ubuntu?
[05:54] <stiltrumpelskin> i tried "sudo cd" but it doesnt work
[05:55] <stiltrumpelskin> i'm trying to browse "/boot/efi"
[05:55] <theshagg> sudo ls ?
[05:55] <viktor_> stiltrumpelskin: sudo ls -a directory
[05:55] <stiltrumpelskin> sorry i meant ls oops lol
[05:55] <theshagg> what do you mean "doesn't work"?
[05:56] <stiltrumpelskin> yes it does work
[05:56] <stiltrumpelskin> i had a brain fart lol
[05:56] <viktor_> stiltrumpelskin: that happens :p
[05:56] <theshagg> if you want to get really heavy handed you could probably do "sudo bash"
[05:57] <theshagg> but be very careful
[05:57] <stiltrumpelskin> no i wont do that yet too scared now haha
[05:59] <viktor_> hi all. i'm running Kubuntu 18.04 on a lenovo ideapad y700. i have an external monitor connected via HDMI. in system setting i disabled the laptop screen. on boot the panel is missing every time. it's there again when i reboot. but i don't like to boot twice all the time.
[06:02] <stiltrumpelskin> can you set xorg.conf
[06:02] <stiltrumpelskin> maybe that will help victor
[06:03] <stiltrumpelskin> theshagg are you still there
[06:04] <theshagg> stiltrumpelskin yes I am
[06:04] <stiltrumpelskin> i realised there was a bit of miscommunication earlier
[06:04] <stiltrumpelskin> you asked about what didn't work
[06:04] <stiltrumpelskin> when i was trying to cd into root directory with rwx------
[06:04] <theshagg> you said "ls" works - which is what I expect to work :)
[06:05] <stiltrumpelskin> yes that's right
[06:05] <stiltrumpelskin> the cd wasnt working lol
[06:05] <theshagg> right
[06:05] <theshagg> I don't know if that should work or not
[06:05] <viktor_> stiltrumpelskin: "set" xorg.config?
[06:05] <stiltrumpelskin> no xorg.conf
[06:05] <stiltrumpelskin> it is somewhere in /etc/xorg maybe
[06:05] <theshagg> which package should I file a bug against for the kernel?
[06:05] <theshagg> "kernel-common" ?
[06:06] <stiltrumpelskin> its in /usr/etc/x11 victor_
[06:07] <stiltrumpelskin> sorry i meant /usr/etc/X11 viktor_
[06:07] <stiltrumpelskin> i think you can configure xorg.conf then the automatic configuration that is done wont take place
[06:09] <viktor_> stiltrumpelskin: there's no /usr/etc
[06:10] <stiltrumpelskin> i'll find where hold on a second
[06:10] <stiltrumpelskin> check in /etc/X11
[06:11] <stiltrumpelskin> you might not have an xorg.conf file because it's usually not necessary
[06:12] <stiltrumpelskin> my directory shows xorg.conf.backup but no xorg.conf
[06:12] <ghostbuster> can someone explain what NEEDED means next to a distro on a CVE? example is 16.04 here https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2020/CVE-2020-7247.html
[06:15] <stiltrumpelskin> i dont know if you saw my messages above viktor_, so i send this message with your name tag
[06:18] <theshagg> How do I report a kernel bug?
[06:19] <theshagg> nm, looks like it's at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Bugs
[06:19] <stiltrumpelskin> what problem did you find theshagg?
[06:20] <theshagg> So many issues with my AMD gpu
[06:20] <theshagg> deadlocks when multiple displays plugged in
[06:20] <theshagg> lockups when trying to shut down
[06:20] <stiltrumpelskin> my system has problems with usb
[06:20] <stiltrumpelskin> it improved a lot when i upgraded to version 5 kernel
[06:21] <stiltrumpelskin> i was using version 4 before
[06:22] <theshagg> https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/issues/900
[06:23] <theshagg> there is an issue in a kernel used in 20.04 beta, but is fixed in a later kernel release
[06:24] <stiltrumpelskin> at least its already fixed haha
[06:24] <stiltrumpelskin> was that the problem you were having
[06:26] <ducasse> theshagg: to file a bug against the kernel, 'ubuntu-bug linux'
[06:27] <CQ2> What does this mean from Locale: LANGUAGE=en_US:de ...I undertstand the en_US part, but what aboutthe DE (German) after the colon?
[06:32] <siege00> @ghostbuster: it looks like it means that they don't know which specific version so it's "needed"
[06:59] <FrankyGov> heya
[07:00] <FrankyGov> Dear all
[07:00] <FrankyGov> Yesterday I installed XFCE4 and I think that caused issues with the Ubuntu's profile
[07:01] <FrankyGov> Today once booted up the system, after the login, I saw a black screen and the system failed showing the login form again
[07:01] <FrankyGov> I went on the command line through CTRL + ALT + F4. I removed XFCE4 and rebooted
[07:02] <FrankyGov> Same problem. At that point I thought to create another user first. In fact, it's working
[07:02] <tatertots> FrankyGov: all sorts of odd observations can be made when installing an additional DE...ideally you should fresh install a distro that uses your preferred DE by default
[07:03] <tatertots> ...you live and learn
[07:03] <FrankyGov> tatertots, I am a noob, in reality I was looking for XFCE4 terminal only....
[07:03] <FrankyGov> I have a question since I am trying to recover all my files from the other profile
[07:04] <FrankyGov> I created this user account from command line using #bash adduser username etc
[07:05] <FrankyGov> I wonder if I can change the permits for the other user > /home/previous-user
[07:07] <mkquist> FrankyGov: what do you mean terminal only?
[07:08] <mkquist> FrankyGov: 'curious'
[07:11] <FrankyGov> mkquist, This module: sudo apt-get install xfce4-terminal
[07:17] <CQ2> FrankyGov, there are two parts to the graphical system... the display manager, which is where you log in (lightdm for example) and the desktop itself (xfce4). Figure out what you have installed and the apt install --reinstall them, sometimest that helps
[07:18] <CQ2> ...since you seem to have a problem sith the desktop itself, on the desktop manager at login, try to switch to a different desktop
[07:18] <FrankyGov> CQ2, I did not need XFCE4. I assume that the problem was caused by XFCE4. Since that's the closest thing related to the desktop manager
[07:19] <FrankyGov> I removed both components: XFCE4 and XFCE4-terminal. I got the same result. Right now I am in Ubuntu through another user
[07:19] <CQ2> no, xfce4 is the desktop itself, that manages your windows when working. The esktop manager manages your login and starts your desktop
[07:21] <matsaman> display manager*
[07:21] <CQ2> when you are at the login prompt, see what desktop options you have that you can log in to
[07:21] <CQ2> matsaman, yes, right, sorry
[07:24] <zuwuko> I noticed my new RAID 1 drives dont idle, they're always working now. I'ver never had RAID1 before, is this normal?
[07:26] <matsaman> zuwuko: what is it you are trying to get out of using RAID?
[07:26] <siege00> RAID1 is a mirror, are you dealing with an initial copy?
[08:18] <FrankyGov> I am trying to perform a backup of my /home folder from a different user
[08:18] <FrankyGov> I cannot copy those files since I do not have permission
[08:18] <FrankyGov> If I have a user with sudo privileges
[08:19] <FrankyGov> can I change the ownership of those files?
[08:23] <zuwuko> yeah raid mirror. I started from scratch. started blank, and have been copying files over. but when files are done, drive doesnt idle . it finally idled, thanks.
[08:23] <tomreyn> FrankyGov: you shouldn't change the ownership of the files you're backing up
[08:24] <FrankyGov> tomreyn, I am trying to copy the folders to an external drives, but I cannot copy certain folders and files
[08:25] <tomreyn> FrankyGov: about reading the the files, the easiest approach is to backup as the root user.
[08:27] <tomreyn> FrankyGov: the better but more complicated way is to add a restricted backup user which is part of the group of the user whose files you'll backup. and to ensure that all files and directories of the user whose files you want to backup are both owned by this users' group, and are group readable.
[08:29] <tomreyn> FrankyGov: example: you have /home/franky and in there all files are owned by user franky and group franky. now you add a new system user frankybackup, use "adduser frankybackup franky" to add the new user to the "franky" group, so that it can read all files owned by the "franky" group, like those in /home/franky.
[08:29] <tomreyn> now frankybackup can read all the files that are group readable in /home/franky
[08:31] <tomreyn> the next difficult part is writing the files to the external drive, and doing so without loosing information on who owned them originally.
[08:33] <tomreyn> FrankyGov: the easiest way to get this (writing the files to the external storage) right is using tar for the backup, it will save the user and group names those files belonged to originally, as well as the permissions set on them.
[08:33] <FrankyGov> tomreyn, I just added the user.
[08:33] <FrankyGov> How can I try to copy recursively the folder?
[08:33] <FrankyGov> I wanted to check if the process skips any folder or file
[08:34] <tomreyn> i'd   tar czf /where/to/backup/to/backup.tar.gz /home/franky/
[08:36] <tomreyn> if you just want to test the tar operation (to see read errors) but not actually store the files then you could do     tar cf /dev/null /home/franky/     instead
[08:43] <wingedrhino> Hi! Is there any way to make apt (or aptitude) produce machine-friendly JSON output?
[08:49] <siege00> tomreyn: could he sudo from the 2nd account as himself and have all the proper perms he needs?
[08:49] <siege00> just curious
[08:58] <wingedrhino> adding to the previous question, does apt have some sort of a scriptable alternative client that accepts arguments via a CLI JSON API?
[09:04] <sergeJS> test
[09:11] <Monotoko> question, why does cn.archive.ubuntu.com point to us.archive.ubuntu.com when there are local mirrors?
[09:11] <Monotoko> makes it really tedius to install anything as the US mirrors are seriously slow inside China
[09:12] <Monotoko> I've got to go and manually change my sources to use a Chinese mirror such as tsinghua
[09:24] <tomreyn> siege00: i think the goal is / should be to run the backup as a separate user. if running it as himself then there's no need for sudo, i would think.
[09:24] <siege00> He said that he couldn't use his original account because his shell was corrupted. At least I thought that was the context
[09:39] <jezebel> hello! i'm running ubuntu 19.10 and unable to use chromium-browser as my 'default'?
[09:40] <jezebel> sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser gives an error
[09:40] <jezebel> no alternatives for x-www-browser
[09:41] <jezebel> hmmm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1870640
[09:42] <tomreyn> on 19.10, chromium is a snap for a while now, this can be related.
[09:43] <jezebel> yeah it's a snap i realise
[09:43] <jezebel> pondering if i should reinstall and use 19.04
[09:43] <tomreyn> that's EOL
[09:43] <jezebel> yeah :/
[09:43] <tomreyn> 18.04 is still supported
[09:43] <tomreyn> did you try --set ?
[09:44] <tomreyn> maybe add --verbose too
[09:44] <tomreyn> what does     readlink -f /usr/bin/chromium-browser     report?
[09:44] <jezebel> same error
[09:44] <jezebel> readlink is fine
[09:45] <tomreyn> please provide outputs
[09:45] <tomreyn> !paste
[09:46] <jezebel> it's a shell script :)  not a symlink to the snap
[09:48] <tomreyn> you could try pointing the aalternative path to the snap binary directly, though i think it shouldn't be necessary.
[09:49] <pigeta> hello
[09:51] <pigeta> have a problem on ubuntu,the keybord typy by it self randomly,i tried to change keyboard usb and ps/2
[09:51] <pigeta> in windows there isn't problem
[09:53] <jezebel> https://imgur.com/a/HWpHI2i
[09:53] <jezebel> it's there's no x-www-browser in the alterantives system i think
[09:53] <jezebel> might need to create it
[09:54] <pigeta> what can i ceck?
[10:01] <tomreyn> jezebel: there are more ways to configure the 'default' browser: https://wiki.debian.org/DefaultWebBrowser
[10:02] <jezebel> i dont have a DE installed
[10:02] <tomreyn> the BROWSER environment variable, too, though this may only be taken into account as a fallback
[10:02] <tomreyn> i see
[10:03] <jezebel> just a WM
[10:04] <AlexC> hi
[10:04] <tomreyn> pigeta: see if there's a BIOS or (better yet, if it's a laptop) EC firmware update for your system.
[10:05] <tomreyn> it's got to be really old if it still has a PS/2 connector
[10:05] <AlexC> Any updated regarding install ubuntu 20.04 server on zfs root? I cannot find the option in the installer yet..
[10:05] <tomreyn> which installer did you use, AlexC ?
[10:06] <AlexC> focal-fossa-server-amd64.iso
[10:06] <tomreyn> oh server, i don't think it's actually supported there, yet, but may be wrong.
[10:06] <tomreyn> at least it wasn't in 19.10
[10:06] <AlexC> wtf, it has experimental support on DESKTOP use
[10:06] <AlexC> why?!
[10:06] <AlexC> lel
[10:06] <AlexC> whatever
[10:07] <pigeta> yes computer is old
[10:07] <tomreyn> !ubuntu+1 | AlexC
[10:07] <pigeta> but why in windows no problem and here just some days problems
[10:07] <AlexC> i gonna ask there
[10:07] <AlexC> thx
[10:08] <theborger> having issues with networking need some assistance please
[10:08] <theborger> i have 2 bonds setup under netplan, one bond is working the other one went down a few days ago and has not worked since.
[10:09] <tomreyn> there's #ubuntu-server for what looks like a server question
[10:10] <theborger> https://termbin.com/2lgc2 .yaml file
[10:10] <pigeta> also if i access from ssh session no problem,instead if i open a terminal from computer it's like the arrow down is pushed
[10:11] <tomreyn> theborger: the stuff below "bond1:" is indented incorrectly
[10:13] <theborger> tomreyn: fixed. still not showing an ip4 address
[10:14] <theborger> tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/EWi5wamz
[10:16] <theborger> tomreyn: got it figured out
[10:16] <tomreyn> theborger: and on top you have 4 character (or tab?) indenting. make sure you use an indenting mechanism supported for yaml files and to use the same everywhere.
[10:16] <tomreyn> theborger: but i think it was something else, wasn't it?
[10:20] <theborger> tomreyn: it was, but something is not right. i think i need to remove the balance-rr stuff. i think that is what is causing my issues.
[10:20] <theborger> tomreyn: if i unplug bond1 from my switch both bonds go down
[10:21] <theborger> if i remove bond0 only it goes down
[10:26] <tomreyn> theborger: what does the switch support?
[10:28] <theborger> tomreyn: its a Juniper ex4200
[10:28] <theborger> think i should just do the bonds on the switch?
[10:28] <theborger> in teh end what i need is 2 different bonded nics on 2 different networks
[10:31] <tomreyn> ex4200 can do better link aggregation thank just balance-rr
[10:32] <theborger> how do i setup LAG on netplan?
[10:36] <tomreyn> https://netplan.io/examples has an example. you'll need ifenslave installed.
[10:36] <tomreyn> maybe you're running into cloud-init related problems? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1033847/configure-bonded-802-3ad-network-using-netplan-on-ubuntu-18-04
[10:36] <tomreyn> personally i'd do 802.3ad with this switch
[10:37] <tomreyn> here's a working example: https://gist.github.com/PhilipSchmid/54e17f53c15e3bd2c922ec6ff9ee434f
[10:41] <theborger> you think its just not bring up both networks before it boots maybe?
[10:43] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[10:45] <tomreyn> theborger: i don't know. if you suspect a firmware issue you can look into resetting CMOS / any persistent storage the BIOS/UEFI and NICs themselve use. (but that's not an OS issue then obviously.) if you can bring those NICs up without a bonding configuration then it's unlikely to be a firmware issue, though.
[10:45] <tomreyn> (i don't know whether you can)
[11:02] <memphisto> hi , running (k)ubuntu on 8560p
[11:02] <memphisto> but i can't see my webcam
[11:03] <memphisto> https://pastebin.com/J78njFAX
[11:03] <memphisto> lsusb output
[11:05] <oerheks> is this webcam integrated into a laptop? use lspci
[11:05] <memphisto> aah
[11:05] <memphisto> ok, will check
[11:06] <memphisto> https://pastebin.com/zCDvqq5F
[11:06] <memphisto> i stil can't see it
[11:07] <oerheks> indeed, me neither
[11:08] <oerheks> is there a hardware switch for webcam, single button  or FN key combo ?
[11:09] <memphisto> no hw key
[11:09] <memphisto> checking the FN keys
[11:09] <memphisto> there is only hw kye for light
[11:12] <memphisto> oerheks: thanks for help
[11:12] <memphisto> it could be it's faulty, after all it's an old lapotop
[11:13] <oerheks> i have an old centrino too, webcam unsupported, crystal eye..
[11:14] <memphisto> will check the bios settings
[11:14] <oerheks> good idea, yes. mine does not have a setting there, maybe you are lucky
[11:16] <tomreyn> lsusb?
[11:16] <oerheks> he needed lspci..
[11:18] <jezebel> hmmm is anyone else able to get chromium browser to launch external applications using xdg-open
[11:18] <memphisto> oerheks: another opsticle, it was my sister's company laptop and BIOS is locked
[11:19] <memphisto> anyways, since it's laptop for my mom now, we will call it no cam laptop
[11:19] <oerheks> memphisto, oke, nothing we can do about that :-(
[11:22] <memphisto> jezebel: no issues here
[11:22] <memphisto> jezebel: out of the box working
[11:28] <oerheks> snap connections chromium # shows what can be done to open <x>
[11:30] <doha> can i somehow check the power draw from a usb device? it's a powered hub and i need to see if it's actually also drawing power from the usb port
[11:30] <doha> i mean if the hub is drawing power from the server
[11:36] <oerheks> doha, dmidecode should be able to show
[11:36] <oerheks> not sure what code..]
[11:55] <skookum> is it just me or is the touchpad scrolling direction reversed in 20.04?
[11:55] <lotuspsychje> skookum: join #ubuntu+1 please
[11:55] <skookum> 🆗
[11:56] <MJCD> when I update user groups
[11:56] <MJCD> do I have to log out and back in for it to take effect?
[11:56] <MJCD> or reboot?
[11:56] <MJCD> etc
[11:56] <EriC^^> MJCD: logout and back in
[11:57] <dagelf> Anyone else using Ubuntu on < 8GB of RAM?
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> whats your real question dagelf ?
[11:58] <MJCD> EriC^^, thanks that worked <3
[11:58] <MJCD> have a good one!
[11:59] <skookum> dagelf: I am running ubuntu server on a raspberry pi with 1 GB of ram
[12:00] <skookum> and I'm pretty sure you can run Ubuntu MATE with the desktop environment on the rpi as well
[13:09] <Sven_vB> what screen reader strategies do we have in xenial that could help my script read the playback position from VLC's status bar? (I already tried the HTTP and telnet interfaces, they're not reliable enough.)
[13:10] <Sven_vB> also I've seen gtk-parasite and the GTK+ inspector.
[13:21] <BarnabasDK> Sven_vB, have you considered the VLC api itself?
[13:22] <Sven_vB> BarnabasDK, nope, what do you mean with that?
[13:22] <BarnabasDK> https://wiki.videolan.org/MediaControlAPI/
[13:22] <Sven_vB> oh probably https://wiki.videolan.org/MediaControlAPI
[13:23] <BarnabasDK> dont know if it can do what you want
[13:23] <Sven_vB> thanks!
[13:23] <Sven_vB> oh. "The MediaControl API was removed from VLC in 2010."
[13:24] <BarnabasDK> well maybe you can achieve the same with mplayer or otherwise
[13:24] <Sven_vB> I'll investigate python-vlc
[13:27] <Sven_vB> seems like that's about integrating vlc in a program, not controlling a running instance.
[13:27] <s_> does 18.04 have postgresql-10 as the latest?

[13:48] <hexo> now i cannot install anything
[13:48] <hexo> and look
[13:48] <mkquist> he
[13:48] <hexo> if i try it with apt-file
[13:48] <hexo> it finds the package
[13:48] <BarnabasDK> what does /etc/apt/sources.iist say?
[13:49] <hexo> https://paste.centos.org/view/fcd2319d
[13:49]  * hexo grabs srcs
[13:49] <BarnabasDK> centos? this is an ubuntu channel?
[13:49] <hexo> so what
[13:49] <hexo> its paste
[13:49] <BarnabasDK> ok
[13:50] <mkquist> hexo: tried updating in terminal?
[13:51] <hexo> yup
[13:51] <mkquist> hexo: errors?
[13:51] <BarnabasDK> well its there in 18.04 maybe the pkg is no longer supported via official repos
[13:52] <BarnabasDK> in 18.04 +
[13:53] <hexo> https://paste.centos.org/view/336c2c4d
[13:53] <hexo> there are no errors
[13:53] <BarnabasDK> does the pkg exist in repo for 19.10?

[13:54] <hexo> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pnmixer
[13:54] <BarnabasDK> in the repos
[13:54] <hexo> pls tell me whats wrongs
[13:54] <hexo> i dont know how to check it
[13:54] <BarnabasDK> pkg search <term>
[13:54] <hexo> so do it
[13:54] <hexo> my apt is broken
[13:54] <hexo> and look into those pastes
[13:55] <hexo> you'd get your answer already
[13:55] <BarnabasDK> all of your sources are hashed out in apt
[13:55] <BarnabasDK> is that on purpose
[13:56] <hexo> look at the bottom
[13:56] <hexo> :(
[13:56] <BarnabasDK> so your pkg is not in those
[13:57] <BarnabasDK> back to the original q is your pkg in the repos for 19.10
[13:57] <hexo> how can i know?
[13:57] <hexo> from launchpad, i'd say, IT IS
[13:57] <hexo> from apt-file list
[13:57] <hexo> i'd say, IT IS
[13:58] <BarnabasDK> mayby here ? https://packages.ubuntu.com/
[13:58] <BarnabasDK> launchpad does not equate official packages
[13:58] <hexo> did you try it yourself?
[13:58] <hexo> https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pnmixer&searchon=names&suite=eoan&section=all
[13:59] <BarnabasDK> as I said I am on 18.04 LTS and the package is here
[13:59] <BarnabasDK> but it could have been removed for 19.10
[13:59] <hexo> is this some elaborate joke?
[13:59] <hexo> :(
[13:59] <BarnabasDK> why would it be?
[14:00] <hexo> how do I fix my apt?
[14:00] <BarnabasDK> can anyone confirm on 19.10 +
[14:04] <hexo> i cant install other stuff too
[14:04] <hexo> xournal for example
[14:04] <hexo> its just "not there"
[14:06] <hexo> so my APT is just broken, I have no idea how
[14:07] <hexo> i could export apt-config if someone "wants", if it helps to debug
[14:12] <BarnabasDK> hexo, try to restore your sources.list to the exact distro copy of 19.10 then do a apt update - apt upgrade
[14:13] <hexo> ok
[14:13] <BarnabasDK> then see if your pkg becomes available
[14:13] <BarnabasDK> do a backup of the existing one
[14:13] <hexo> ill do so! <3
[14:14] <Ben64> doesn't seem like a great solution
[14:14] <Ben64> !info pnmixer eoan
[14:14] <hexo> :)
[14:15] <Ben64> it's in universe, so if you don't have that enabled, enable it
[14:15] <BarnabasDK> Ben64, +1
[14:15] <hexo> aha
[14:15] <hexo> so
[14:15] <hexo> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan main restricted # auto generated by ubuntu-release-upgrader
[14:15] <hexo> add universe to main and restricted?
[14:15] <Ben64> do it from the gui
[14:16] <hexo> i dont have gui
[14:16] <oerheks> BarnabasDK, easy to find with bing; https://gist.github.com/nexus166/4be68bd74404e884b018ca8ad23c5d0f
[14:16] <hexo> did it by hand
[14:16] <Ben64> then how do you plan on running an application in the system tray
[14:16] <oerheks> just copy to line #15
[14:16] <hexo> i have xmonad and no gnome applications
[14:17] <BarnabasDK> oerheks, yeah, but I do not want to post someones "standard" list here - it should be the distro one
[14:17] <hexo> Ben64: it helped!
[14:17] <Ben64> gl with that
[14:17] <hexo> thanks a lot!
[14:17] <hexo> works now
[14:17] <BarnabasDK> super
[14:17] <oerheks> BarnabasDK, no other source i know of.. except the iso
[14:17] <hexo> thank you guys and ladies
[14:17] <BarnabasDK> maybe the ubuntu git repo
[14:18] <Ben64> i mean, this works... https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[14:18] <Ben64> oh, did work
[14:18] <Ben64> :(
[14:18] <BarnabasDK> yeah - but as I said I am not on that disto so I had to ask for verification here
[14:18] <oerheks> no disco there indeed
[14:18] <BarnabasDK> or -that version ..
[14:19] <hexo> oooooooo yes, i no longer have to use alsamixer all the time :D :D this is so 2020 <3
[14:19] <BarnabasDK> hah
[14:19] <hexo> made my day, really :)
[14:20] <BarnabasDK> looking forward to 20.10
[14:43] <FreddyH> Hey guys
[14:43] <FreddyH> I have a service "elasticsearch" that I should have configured on startup in Ubuntu 16.04
[14:44] <FreddyH> However, when I run this after i reboot: sudo service --status-all
[14:44] <FreddyH> I get this [ - ]  elasticsearch
[14:44] <FreddyH> which means the service is inactive or stopped
[14:44] <FreddyH> First question is, how can I know if it did not boot for some erroneous reason, or maybe my enabling it on starting did not really work ?
[14:47] <oerheks> systemctl start elasticsearch.service  # is not enough > systemctl enable elasticsearch.service  to enable at boot
[14:52] <FreddyH> not update-rc ?
[14:58] <oerheks> Froh, i misread, you are still on 16.04
[15:00] <oerheks> should work, according to https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-elasticsearch-on-ubuntu-16-04
[15:46] <valentin> is there anywhere I can download 20.04 RC? according to their calendar it should have been published 2 days ago
[15:46] <BarnabasDK> probably delayed due to covid
[15:47] <BarnabasDK> like anything else
[15:47] <oerheks> valentin, sure, you can download it for weeks, i would suggest download daily build
[15:47] <oerheks> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[15:47] <oerheks> and join #ubuntu+1 for support
[15:48] <oerheks> BarnabasDK, this is not the fun channel
[15:49] <BarnabasDK> oerheks, wasnt trying to be funny
[15:49] <i7ch> hei people. i now that my next question is not exactly strictly related to ubuntu, but here it goes: is anyone willing to walk me through configuring some shortcut key for zsh/ohmyzsh ?
[15:49] <oerheks> actually, there is no RC
[15:50] <BarnabasDK> if you are exactly on date with all of this - its just impressive
[15:57] <oerheks> "During the week leading up to the final release, the images produced are all considered release candidates"
[15:58] <oerheks> so, i am wrong and correct ..sort of
[16:03] <valentin>  thanks oerheks, but can those images be considered of RC quality given no RC published? I'd like to install early and not have any leftovers when I update to release
[16:03] <ioria> valentin, you 're looking for the beta release ?
[16:03] <oerheks> when released, you will have the final versions of all packages, no problem
[16:04] <kk4ewt> valentin; you will still have zero day updates regardless
[16:05] <Bushmaster> Hi fox, I am seeking some clarification... its about Linux Server, lets say, Ubuntu server, first question, once you install Ubuntu Server OS in a server machine, do you then install Ubuntu in all your workstation computers?
[16:05] <ioria> valentin, the beta is here : http://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/
[16:06] <BarnabasDK> Bushmaster, there should be no requirement immediately
[16:06] <valentin> thanks, I was actually trying to hold off from installing the beta. is the diff between beta and RC just fixes at this stage?
[16:06] <BarnabasDK> update your servers freely of your clients
[16:06] <BarnabasDK> Bushmaster, but read the release notes
[16:06] <monkwitdafunk> hey is mozilla seamonkey in the respositories?
[16:08] <Bushmaster> what I am inquiring is once Ubuntu server OS is installed in server machine, and if I like to set up 50 workstation what OS I need to install in those workstation?
[16:08] <BarnabasDK> Bushmaster, depends entirely on your software needs
[16:09] <BarnabasDK> could be windows, could be linux something, or otherwise - more info is needed I suppose
[16:12] <oerheks> choose some desktop flavor, or miniiso to choose from them all ( + services like ssh)
[16:13] <Bushmaster> BarnabasDK,  lets say, 50 workstation, I have 100 students, they will use those 50 workstations for school work, mainly word processing, spreadsheet, photoshop, some programming in Python, some HTML, all basic works, I want to set up Linux based server with a server machine, so lets say I install Ubuntu Server OS in server machine and then all those 50 machines what I need to install? Ubuntu Desktop or Windows 10?
[16:13] <oerheks> not an ubuntu issue, choose and have fun
[16:21] <BarnabasDK> Bushmaster, I think it all depends on you choice of sw for the students
[16:21] <BarnabasDK> less on your choice os OS
[16:23] <Bushmaster> what is sw BarnabasDK
[16:28] <BarnabasDK> what office suite do you consider on linux?
[16:28] <BarnabasDK> LibreOffice
[16:28] <BarnabasDK> or is it a cloud based thing like office365 or google docs
[16:29] <BarnabasDK> in which case any compatible browser will do
[16:30] <BarnabasDK> bt as oerheks said - not really a ubuntu issue
[16:33] <Bushmaster> no problem
[16:34] <pavlos> Bushmaster: ltsp might be good for your setup, see ltsp.org
[16:35] <BarnabasDK> pavlos, +1
[16:39] <kenperkins> when you 32 or 64gb of ram in a desktop, is there any meaningful reason to not have swappiness set super low or 0?
[16:39] <kenperkins> have*
[16:40] <oerheks> No, adjusting swappiness is usually done by those who fear wear-and-tear of a ssd... those were the old days
[16:41] <BarnabasDK> kenperkins, try swapon --summary
[16:41] <BarnabasDK> when you are going full tilt
[16:41] <BarnabasDK> you are probably using nothing ..
[16:41] <oerheks> swappiness = 0, is silly, that means no use of swap at all
[16:42] <kenperkins> used: 61940
[16:42] <xXBadDreamXx> i have an xbox one wireless controller setup and working fine except that when i press the guide button it opens my browser and kicks me out of steam
[16:42] <xXBadDreamXx> asked for help late last night but everyone was sleeping
[16:43] <BarnabasDK> xXBadDreamXx, do your xbox run ubuntu?
[16:43] <xXBadDreamXx> its a pc running xubuntu
[16:43] <kenperkins> it's opaque to me how changing swappiness from the default 60 to say 5 or 1 will behave in day to day usage
[16:44] <xXBadDreamXx> i stream from my windows game machine to the xubuntu pc connected to my tv
[16:44] <BarnabasDK> kenperkins, RAM is a cheap today
[16:44] <kenperkins> capt obivous over here ;) thx :)
[16:44] <BarnabasDK> swapping is it worth it?
[16:44] <xXBadDreamXx> i would like 64 gigs of ddr4 ram...i have 3.50
[16:45] <kenperkins> in theory, with 64gb of ram I should never swap
[16:45] <kenperkins> but should I force that with a setting? or trust the system with the default of 60
[16:46] <xXBadDreamXx> dont force it
[16:46] <akem> If you plan to hibernate the machine you still need 64 GB swap :P
[16:46] <BarnabasDK> akem, different scenario but yes
[16:46] <kenperkins> hm I can't remember if it sleeps or hibernates, but I do one of them yes
[16:47] <xXBadDreamXx> i wish there were more linux gamers out there
[16:47] <kenperkins> I run steam and game on mine
[16:47] <xXBadDreamXx> i have problems and i need helps! ;)
[16:47] <xXBadDreamXx> cool kenperkins
[16:48] <xXBadDreamXx> my xbox controller problem is giving me fits
[17:00] <samthewildone> How do I display the file name in which the grepped term has been found ?
[17:01] <BarnabasDK> grep -H I believe
[17:01] <samthewildone> example: "# cat * | grep -i <some text>" I get a return but to many files to figure out which one.
[17:01] <BarnabasDK> yeah -H foo barfile
[17:02] <samthewildone> BarnabasDK, thanks, got it
[17:20] <pavlos> samthewildone: another way, grep port /etc/*.conf (show me .conf files in /etc/ that contain 'port'
[17:29] <samthewildone> pavlos, thanks as well.
[18:41] <chudak> hi all, this must be easy, but I lost the option to "Always on Visible Workspace" on windows located on 2d and 3d screen, any clues appreciated
[18:45] <oerheks> chudak, you can set that on the primairy only
[18:45] <oerheks> (18.04)
[18:47] <chudak> oerheks: where can it be set ?  I am on 20.04
[18:49] <chudak> I used to have this available on all monitors and now only on primary :(
[18:50] <kostkon> !ubuntu+1 | chudak
[18:51] <chudak> ok thanks
[18:51] <doha> hello
[18:51] <doha> how can i test if a specific mount is mounted or not? i need this for a bash script
[18:57] <chudak> its the same on 18.04 I guess
[18:59] <doha> found `mountpoint`.
[19:01] <pavlos> doha: you can check mounted-location in /proc/mounts
[19:09] <Helenah> I'm getting this all throughout my APT output "404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.152 80]". It said to try apt-get update or with --fix-missing, I've tried this.
[19:10] <Intelo> I just increased ebs volume on aws . On linux ubuntu, how can I increase on linux ubuntu? `sudo growpart /dev/sda1 1`  or `sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1` ?
[19:10] <Helenah> What is ebs?
[19:11] <oerheks> Intelo, why crosspost?
[19:12] <Intelo> oerheks, mistake by bot script
[19:12] <oerheks> you keep doing that ..
[19:13] <Helenah> I get this too E: The repository 'http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-security Release' no longer has a Release file.
[19:13] <oerheks> Helenah, disco is dead, EOL. upgrade please
[19:13] <Helenah> I would if I had the disk space.
[19:13] <Helenah> Okay thanks for your support
[19:19] <Helenah> So I run do-release-upgrade and it says I should update my system before doing the release upgrade so I try to update myself with apt-get upgrade but unfortunately it still tries to use the very repos that no longer work.
[19:19] <Helenah> How do I upgrade the system?
[19:20] <ioria> Helenah, with the EOL repositories
[19:20] <oerheks> !eol
[19:22] <ioria> dirtycajunrice, any chance you can fix your connection ?
[19:22] <Helenah> Thanks, found it
[19:23] <Helenah> Oh, haha, I had a connection issue over a month ago that got a lot of people angry. Hehe
[19:26] <Intelo> asked in another channel but not satisfied. Can anyone comment on:  I wonder why most youtube tutorials just do resize2fs only and not growpart? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Brbqkzqvjw  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EQFe6CRvAM&list=PLxzKY3wu0_FLaF9Xzpyd9p4zRCikkD9lE&index=18    But the aws docs says only about growpart? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html
[19:27] <oerheks> we will disappoint you too, ask ##aws?
[19:28] <Intelo> oerheks, i do not want to get influenced by aws
[19:28] <Intelo> and want to understand at the linux point of view
[19:28] <Intelo> ubuntu specially
[19:28] <tomreyn> so what's your ubuntu (not youtube, not AWS) question?
[19:29] <Helenah> Intelo: If you don't want to be influenced by AWS, but you want a more Linuxy answer, you could always try ##linux
[19:29] <Helenah> But seriously, for something more AWS direct, ask in the AWS channel.
[19:29] <Intelo> Helenah, tried, not satsified; asked here
[19:29] <Intelo> Helenah,  its about the two commands
[19:29] <Intelo> why use either a
[19:30] <Helenah> This is for Ubuntu specific issues though.
[19:30] <Intelo> and which first
[19:30] <Intelo> Helenah, its ubuntu/linux command I guess?
[19:30] <Intelo> the os is ubuntu
[19:30] <Intelo> best ask in ubuntu. Am I on the right track?
[19:30] <Helenah> No, it isn't an Ubuntu specific command.
[19:31] <ioria> it's a cloud issue
[19:31] <Intelo> Helenah, ioria  ok, suppose, I just resized my disk. What command should I run?
[19:31] <tomreyn> Intelo: if you'll read the man pages for growpart and resize2fs it should become obvious what the difference is and how they may be related.
[19:31] <Intelo> I used dd, copied data to another disk. (a resize). What command should I use?
[19:32] <Helenah> Intelo: man growpart for more information on what that command does.
[19:32] <tomreyn> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/growpart.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/resize2fs.8.html
[19:32] <Helenah> Intelo: Also, a channel that has helped me out great with cloud and network issues is ##networking, have you been there before?
[20:00] <alazy> Anyone use the netsurf browser? I've built the framebuffer target but I get an error message about initialising the framebuffer or surface.
[20:04] <pmart> does gdb require package sources to be available locally or is information in *-dbgsym packages enough for him?
[20:10] <pmart> symbols for binary are correctly loaded from /usr/lib/debug but then i still see "udisksdaemonutil.c: No such file or directory" after breakpoint hit
[20:13] <TJ-> pmart: some packages may have their symbols in a main archive package, just to confuse things!
[20:14] <TJ-> pmart: but generally it should be picked up
[20:18] <Yeah-Whatever> need help with Ubuntu 18.04 not booting, tried Boot Repair using live install disk UNsuccessful
[20:18] <Yeah-Whatever> when attempting 2 boot i see splash screen and then this endless text:
[20:19] <Yeah-Whatever> Started Session cXX of user gdm.
[20:19] <Yeah-Whatever> Started User Manager for UID 121
[20:19] <Yeah-Whatever> Stopping User Manager for UID 121
[20:19] <Yeah-Whatever> Stopped User Manager for UID 121
[20:19] <Yeah-Whatever> Removed slice User Slice of gdm
[20:19] <Yeah-Whatever> Created slice User Slice of gdm
[20:20] <TJ-> Yeah-Whatever: you can temporarily prevent the display-manager from trying to load by intercepting GRUB and editing the menuentry to add "systemd.unit=multi-user.target "
[20:22] <TJ-> Yeah-Whatever: that'll give you a working text console where you can investigate from. Those messages sugest Gnome Display Manager is stuck in an endless loop, so you'd like do "journalctl -u gdm3" to discover more
[20:22] <pmart> TJ-: so basically the source code should be part of *-dbg *-dbgsym packages and there is no need to additionaly have *.c files on disk?
[20:22] <donpdonp|z> E: The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-security Release' no longer has a Release file.
[20:22] <TJ-> pmart: that is the idea, yes
[20:23] <donpdonp|z> the ubuntu package mirror no longer has disco files? i cannot apt update anymore
[20:23] <Bashing-om> !19,04 | donpdonp|z
[20:23] <TJ-> pmart: when the packages are built the binaries include the debug symbols, then the debhelper 'strips' them and puts the symbols in the -dbgsym package
[20:23] <Bashing-om> !19.04 | donpdonp|z
[20:24] <TJ-> pmart: it sounds like that may not be happening for all binaries in the udisks2 source; report a bug for it
[20:24] <donpdonp|z> Bashing-om: i realize support ended, so i wouldnt expect updates, but the apt files are simply gone?
[20:24] <donpdonp|z> i cant believe they'd just break every 19.04 install??
[20:24] <TJ-> !oldreleases | donpdonp|z
[20:25] <donpdonp|z> yes updates stop. i get that.
[20:25] <donpdonp|z> this is different
[20:25] <Yeah-Whatever> TJ - ah - ok - how do i intercept GRUB ? by doing recovery mode ?
[20:25] <Bashing-om> donpdonp|z: Yup - repo moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases .
[20:25] <TJ-> donpdonp|z: briefly; the packages move to ^^^^
[20:25] <jackhum> hi , people of this channel , i have been using 18.04 and recently have installed user shell themes , but my shell theme keep reverting to normal now and then
[20:25] <donpdonp|z> ohh
[20:25] <jackhum> can anyone help me to troubleshoot this issue
[20:25] <donpdonp|z> thank you.
[20:26] <TJ-> donpdonp|z: so you can edit the apt sources.list to point to the old-releases.ubuntu.com and apt will continue working
[20:26] <donpdonp|z> yes i will do that.
[20:27] <donpdonp|z> hmm those appear to be only the install isos and such, not the deb repo
[20:28] <TJ-> donpdonp|z: on install the primary archives would be added to sources.list
[20:31] <donpdonp|z> while i cant seem to actually find the deb files on old-releases, 'apt update' is able to find them so im happy.
[20:32] <Yeah-Whatever> TJ it sits at /dev/sda1: clean xxxxxx files xxxxxx blocks now
[20:33] <Kristine68> hi my new laptop can't detect external monitor with Ubuntu 18.01 lts. Can anybody help me?
[20:34] <pmart> TJ-: what is the problem exactly? i do see the debug symbols being loaded for /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd, that means they are somehow incomplete?
[20:35] <pmart> (like maybe contain only file offsets and not actual source lines)
[20:35] <TJ-> pmart: your error does seem to suggest that symbol, or entire source file reference, is missing
[20:37] <tomreyn> Kristine68: Ubuntu 18.01 lts does not exist, nor did it.    lsb_release -ds     will report what you're running
[20:38] <Kristine68> Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
[20:39] <tomreyn> Kristine68: ok. :) are you using the default gnome-shell based desktop? how's the external monitor connected (display port, hdmi, dvi, vga?)
[20:40] <econdudeawesome> tdym,bguy.l
[20:40] <econdudeawesome> alsamixer
[20:40] <tomreyn> econdudeawesome: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[20:41] <Kristine68> I dunno if it is default gnome-shell, how can I check?
[20:41] <Kristine68> I'm using hdmi port
[20:41] <tomreyn> Kristine68: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL)
[20:42] <Kristine68> tomreyn https://termbin.com/lmhs0
[20:43] <tomreyn> Kristine68: this looks pretty default, yes
[20:44] <tomreyn> Kristine68: do you know which graphics card you have there?
[20:44] <tomreyn> lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:45] <TJ-> Yeah-Whatever: hmmm, sometimes you have to tap a key to get the "login:" prompt because the kernel messages overwrite it
[20:45] <Kristine68> tomreyn https://termbin.com/r7or6 I think from product info it is Nvidia GTX 1050
[20:46] <tomreyn> my condolences
[20:47] <tomreyn> well, with the right driver you should be able to manage the extra screen using the nvidia software for this purpose, "nvidia settings". that's pretty much all i know, though.
[20:48] <tomreyn> the standard screen settings on the "Settings" application won't apply, i think. or maybe just partially.
[20:49] <CyberiaAxis> hi any active here?
[20:50] <CyberiaAxis> how to chk the time zone
[20:50] <CyberiaAxis> ?
[20:51] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: date will tell you
[20:51] <Kristine68> tomreyn yah I spent couple of hours trying to find and installing drivers. Still stuck.
[20:51] <CyberiaAxis> not correct date is coming
[20:51] <CyberiaAxis> pavlos,
[20:51] <Yeah-Whatever> TJ - can i just boot from LIVE and reinstall while keeping my files/docs/programs ?
[20:51] <Kristine68> brb I need to restart
[20:52] <CyberiaAxis> from where i can see the TZ?
[20:52] <oerheks> surely date will tell timezone, CEST or something
[20:52] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: my date is Sat Apr 18 13:50:54 MST 2020, see the MST ??
[20:52] <CyberiaAxis> oerheks, date time is not correct
[20:52] <oerheks> CyberiaAxis, so, set the right time in bios for a start?
[20:53] <oerheks> CyberiaAxis,  or do you have windows 10 installed, then the time is way off?
[20:54] <TJ-> Yeah-Whatever: I'm not sure, I don't use the Ubuntu installers. Someone else may know
[20:54] <CyberiaAxis> oerheks, i am using VM
[20:54] <CyberiaAxis> pavlos, VM and ubuntu 19.10
[20:54] <TJ-> CyberiaAxis: "date +%z; date +%Z"
[20:55] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: timedatectl | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:55] <oerheks> CyberiaAxis, so, your host is windows 10?
[20:55] <CyberiaAxis> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/w5ZrD7C9XJ/
[20:56] <CyberiaAxis> pavlos, oerheks
[20:56] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: your timezone is UTC
[20:56] <CyberiaAxis> means?
[20:56] <Yeah-Whatever> Ubuntu 18.04 HELP PLS caught in display manager endless loop at boot
[20:56] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: Universal Time Clock like GMT
[20:56] <CyberiaAxis> i wanna set my server timezone "Asia/Kolkata"
[20:56] <tomreyn> that your server was setup the way a unix-like server is usually setup.
[20:57] <tomreyn> timedatectl --help
[20:58] <CyberiaAxis> why UTC giving me wrong time
[20:58] <CyberiaAxis> tomreyn,
[20:59] <oerheks> UTC is now 20:59
[20:59] <tomreyn> apart form some seconds drift the "date" command and "timedatectl" command provided you with the correct time, in the UTC timezone
[20:59] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: timezonectl list-timezones ... find the nearest to kolkata, then timezonectl set-timezone Asia/somewhere
[20:59] <tomreyn> the drift is due to your system not reaching ntp servers, i would think
[21:00] <CyberiaAxis> okay
[21:00] <oerheks> datetimectl set-timezone Asia/Kolkata
[21:00] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: timezonectl set-timezone Asia/Kolkata
[21:01] <oerheks> timezonectl is also oke.. i would use datetimectl
[21:01] <CyberiaAxis> after that need to restart???
[21:02] <CyberiaAxis>  NTP service: inactive  what this?
[21:02] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: type again, timedatectl
[21:03] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: sync time with public NTP servers
[21:03] <CyberiaAxis> yes NTP should be enable
[21:03] <CyberiaAxis> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CVjDMJYdkh/
[21:04] <CyberiaAxis> i run the command
[21:04] <CyberiaAxis> sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Kolkat
[21:04] <CyberiaAxis> now update https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CVjDMJYdkh/
[21:05] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: good, you're on IST now
[21:05] <CyberiaAxis> now i wanna enable the NTP
[21:05] <CyberiaAxis> is possible?
[21:05] <tomreyn> systemd-timesyncd is enabled by default usually.
[21:06] <CyberiaAxis> tomreyn, sudo systemd-timesyncd
[21:06] <CyberiaAxis> sudo: systemd-timesyncd: command not found
[21:06] <tomreyn> it'd be in /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd on 18.04 LTS
[21:06] <tomreyn> but we don't know what you run
[21:07] <CyberiaAxis> tomreyn, i am using 19.10
[21:07] <CyberiaAxis> server
[21:07] <tomreyn> should be the same there
[21:07] <TJ-> there's always "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata"
[21:07] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: timedatectl set-ntp true  then sudo systemctl start ntp
[21:09] <CyberiaAxis> sudo systemctl start ntp
[21:09] <CyberiaAxis> Failed to start ntp.service: Unit ntp.service not found.
[21:09] <CyberiaAxis> pavlos,
[21:09] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: sudo apt install ntp
[21:11] <CyberiaAxis> pavlos, done all command
[21:11] <CyberiaAxis> commands
[21:11] <CyberiaAxis> now?
[21:11] <CyberiaAxis> need to restart the server?
[21:11] <tomreyn> so you replaced one time server by another, more complex, with more outdated code.
[21:12] <CyberiaAxis> tomreyn, not understand?
[21:12] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: timedatectl
[21:12] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: is ntp active? also systemctl status ntp will tell you the service is running
[21:12] <CyberiaAxis> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PzZYD9cxHS/
[21:13] <tomreyn> ntpd is and old beast, it's featureful but old software. you already had a time server running, most likely, systemd-timesyncd
[21:13] <CyberiaAxis> pavlos, its stuck on something
[21:14] <tomreyn> not having ntpd installed won't be why your RTC was off, more likely you have a firewall blocking traffic to udp port 123
[21:14] <CyberiaAxis> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2jTzBmB6Jt/
[21:15] <CyberiaAxis> tomreyn, so now?
[21:15] <pavlos> CyberiaAxis: try again, timedatectl set-ntp true then check again, timedatectl
[21:17] <oerheks> maybe in your vm, you better keep systemtime.. timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock
[21:17] <CyberiaAxis> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zmp9VQMhyN/

[21:26] <Rockwood> after this sudo systemctl restart ntp
[21:26] <oerheks> unmask it first?
[21:26] <Rockwood> means?
[21:26] <Rockwood> what ve to unmask?
[21:27] <pavlos> Rockwood: ntp.servcie started, do you have an ntpd process running? then ntpq -p

[21:31] <Rockwood> pavlos, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3xSFS5KgrJ/
[21:32] <Rockwood> pavlos, now my time is correct
[21:32] <Rockwood> ??
[21:33] <tomreyn> Rockwood: you could look at what you posted and compare the time stamps you see
[21:34] <tomreyn> i.e. the timestamp reported by your system against the timestamp reported by the paste service
[21:34] <Rockwood> tomreyn, actually my php and mysql isn't getting correct time till now
[21:35] <Rockwood> need a restart?
[21:35] <Rockwood> tomreyn,
[21:35] <Rockwood> of server
[21:35] <tomreyn> what would be "correct time" and what is "not correct time"?
[21:35] <Rockwood> as per my UTC
[21:36] <Rockwood> its not coming as per my UTC
[21:36] <tomreyn> universal time coordinated is universal, not just yours
[21:36] <Rockwood> lol
[21:36] <Rockwood> i means as per my location it should be come
[21:37] <Rockwood> anyway thanks
[21:37] <tomreyn> so you're saying the timezone you set on your system isn't being applied to the output generated by these softwares
[21:37] <tomreyn> what is the timestamp reported by this software and what is the timestamnp you'd expect it to report?
[21:37] <Rockwood> yeah
[21:38] <Rockwood> actually as per our UTC  19-04-2020 03:08
[21:38] <tomreyn> i can't seem to follow.
[21:38] <Rockwood> and as per  Universal time: Sat 2020-04-18 21:27:32 UTC
[21:39] <TJ-> Rockwood: UTC is GMT
[21:39] <Rockwood> ok
[21:39] <Rockwood> +530
[21:39] <Rockwood> GMT 530
[21:39] <TJ-> Rockwood: your timezone is 5.5 hours ahead
[21:39] <TJ-> oops, there goes the time machine
[21:41] <syntaxfree> hi guys.
[21:42] <syntaxfree> so "xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness $val" sets my screen brightness to $val.
[21:42] <syntaxfree> but how do I *query* the current brightness value?
[21:42] <syntaxfree> (so I can make a couple of scripts to brighten up and down)
[21:48] <pavlos> syntaxfree: xrandr --verbose | grep Brightness
[21:48] <syntaxfree> I was angry that Ubuntu was eating away battery life and as it appears the main driver of everything battery life is screen brightness.
[21:49] <syntaxfree> I wonder what performs visually better (in backlit displays) with low brightness, dark on white or white on black.
[21:49] <syntaxfree> (perform visually better = on usability/eye strain metrics)
[21:49] <TJ-> syntaxfree:  "grep . /sys/class/backlight/*/* "
[21:49] <soee> Hi. Is it possible to have 2 user account and for one use propriety nvidia driver and for second opensourced?
[21:50] <TJ-> syntaxfree: you can 'poke' the 'brightness' node there to a value between min and max
[21:51] <syntaxfree> to complete pavlos's answer, if it matters: "xrandr --verbose | grep Brightness | cut -f2 -d:" does the trick.

[23:20] <tomreyn> not that i can see. i guess this means pk-update-icon in 18.04 LTS is just broken. it seems to expect thits helper script to exist but it doesn't exist.
[23:21] <lestac> i can remove that from app index ?
[23:22] <tomreyn> you can apt purge the "pk-update-icon" debian/apt package.
