=== Perfec7 is now known as Brasil [00:22] adrian15: let me try that [00:26] 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] Xeteen: Which line from there you want to be converted into a mount command? [00:28] the last one [00:36] adrian15: no worries, forget about it, it won't work [00:37] I mean I put the path in Nautilus' "+ Other Locations" and it works [00:37] I add the very same path in fstab and I get the same error: No such file or directory [00:37] so there's a problem with the path [00:37] fuck it === Brasil is now known as Perfec7 [00:47] Xeteen: If you add the path as a mount point it needs to be created and empty before using it. [00:47] 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] Jordan_U: oops sorry [00:48] adrian15: yup I created it and it's empty [01:00] 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] 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] I do not appear to have an audit directory under log [01:04] "root group" - other than a group called root, not sure what that does for you [01:05] yeah, the group called "root" [01:05] I am able to change the ownership and attributes of the files/folders, just cannot create them [01:07] sudo touch x ... that work or touch: cannot touch 'x': Permission denied [01:09] I did sudo touch [directory] and it just returned to prompt [01:09] no error though [01:10] 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] I'm using Webmin for the creation of the directories under normal use [01:11] Zeloz: Can you reproduce the problem with a normal linux command, and pastebin that command and its output? [01:12] if I do mkdir test, it just says permission denied (using terminal) [01:13] sudo of course works, but I can't do that in Webmin [01:17] 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] correct, I did a tar extract from the other servers folder [01:18] 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] there were no errors that I'm aware of [01:18] unprivileged users can't change file ownership [01:18] 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] I can change the ownership and permissions, just not add any folder/files in [01:19] who owns the directory that you're trying to write into? what are the permissions on that directory? [01:19] 775 [01:19] I made it recursive, that and the owner is my user now as well [01:20] and what uid is webmin running as? [01:20] my user [01:21] are all directories above the directory in question also readable and executable by the uid webmin is runnign as? [01:22] I was able to put a file/folder in one of the above directories without issue [01:23] I think it was the base directory that was copied [01:23] that I can add files/folders [01:23] but nothing below that === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:28] Zeloz: Please pastebin the output of "getfacl /path/to/directory/" and "ls -ld /path/to/directory/" [01:30] $ getfacl mods [01:31] drwxrwxr-x 498 username solder 20480 Apr 18 01:09 mods [01:36] Zeloz: And what is your username? [01:37] it's all lowercase, single word, it's part of my name so yeah [01:42] Zeloz: And you're in the group "solder"? [01:43] correct [01:43] Zeloz: Can you double check that by running "groups"? === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly [01:45] it shows as users root and sudo [01:45] 'groups' just reports what the current process has, which may be different than the process that's trying to do the unpacking [01:46] Zeloz: try the command "id" it should list all the groups the user belongs to [01:46] uid=1002(username) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),0(root),27(sudo) [01:49] Zeloz: username does not belong to solder group so username cannot write to mods (which is 775) [01:50] hmm, so is Webmin not showing correctly the group membership settings I have put in? [01:51] !webmin | Zeloz [01:51] Zeloz: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [01:51] is there alternatives? Besides CLI [01:53] 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] tried to add my username to that group and run id again to no avail [01:56] Zeloz: you'd need to pop a new term, then run id [01:57] I'll give that a shot [01:58] 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] Zeloz: you have it, 1002 [01:59] Zeloz: now can you write something into mods/ ? [01:59] looks like? Let me try non CLI [02:00] nope, let me reboot the system === umask078 is now known as umask077 === utlagi is now known as utlagi2 [02:25] 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] hmm, not sure if it would be easy, I had an older system running webmin [02:26] that I compressed folders/files [02:26] and extracted them [02:32] if there wasn't 10gb or so of files, I'd have done it manually... lol [02:35] 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] nm i figured it out [04:37] 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?

[05:54] does anybody know how to view contents of directory with root ownership and rwx------ permissions in ubuntu? [05:54] i tried "sudo cd" but it doesnt work [05:55] i'm trying to browse "/boot/efi" [05:55] sudo ls ? [05:55] stiltrumpelskin: sudo ls -a directory [05:55] sorry i meant ls oops lol [05:55] what do you mean "doesn't work"? [05:56] yes it does work [05:56] i had a brain fart lol [05:56] stiltrumpelskin: that happens :p [05:56] if you want to get really heavy handed you could probably do "sudo bash" [05:57] but be very careful [05:57] no i wont do that yet too scared now haha [05:59] 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] can you set xorg.conf [06:02] maybe that will help victor [06:03] theshagg are you still there [06:04] stiltrumpelskin yes I am [06:04] i realised there was a bit of miscommunication earlier [06:04] you asked about what didn't work [06:04] when i was trying to cd into root directory with rwx------ [06:04] you said "ls" works - which is what I expect to work :) [06:05] yes that's right [06:05] the cd wasnt working lol [06:05] right [06:05] I don't know if that should work or not [06:05] stiltrumpelskin: "set" xorg.config? [06:05] no xorg.conf [06:05] it is somewhere in /etc/xorg maybe [06:05] which package should I file a bug against for the kernel? [06:05] "kernel-common" ? [06:06] its in /usr/etc/x11 victor_ [06:07] sorry i meant /usr/etc/X11 viktor_ [06:07] i think you can configure xorg.conf then the automatic configuration that is done wont take place [06:09] stiltrumpelskin: there's no /usr/etc [06:10] i'll find where hold on a second [06:10] check in /etc/X11 [06:11] you might not have an xorg.conf file because it's usually not necessary [06:12] my directory shows xorg.conf.backup but no xorg.conf [06:12] 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] i dont know if you saw my messages above viktor_, so i send this message with your name tag [06:18] How do I report a kernel bug? [06:19] nm, looks like it's at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Bugs [06:19] what problem did you find theshagg? [06:20] So many issues with my AMD gpu [06:20] deadlocks when multiple displays plugged in [06:20] lockups when trying to shut down [06:20] my system has problems with usb [06:20] it improved a lot when i upgraded to version 5 kernel [06:21] i was using version 4 before [06:22] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/issues/900 [06:23] there is an issue in a kernel used in 20.04 beta, but is fixed in a later kernel release [06:24] at least its already fixed haha [06:24] was that the problem you were having [06:26] theshagg: to file a bug against the kernel, 'ubuntu-bug linux' [06:27] 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] @ghostbuster: it looks like it means that they don't know which specific version so it's "needed" === _ikke_ is now known as ikke [06:59] heya [07:00] Dear all [07:00] Yesterday I installed XFCE4 and I think that caused issues with the Ubuntu's profile [07:01] 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] I went on the command line through CTRL + ALT + F4. I removed XFCE4 and rebooted [07:02] Same problem. At that point I thought to create another user first. In fact, it's working [07:02] 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] ...you live and learn [07:03] tatertots, I am a noob, in reality I was looking for XFCE4 terminal only.... [07:03] I have a question since I am trying to recover all my files from the other profile [07:04] I created this user account from command line using #bash adduser username etc [07:05] I wonder if I can change the permits for the other user > /home/previous-user [07:07] FrankyGov: what do you mean terminal only? [07:08] FrankyGov: 'curious' === Euph0ria is now known as abandoned === abandoned is now known as Abandoned [07:11] mkquist, This module: sudo apt-get install xfce4-terminal === markus1189 is now known as predator117 === predator117 is now known as markus1189 [07:17] 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] ...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] 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] I removed both components: XFCE4 and XFCE4-terminal. I got the same result. Right now I am in Ubuntu through another user [07:19] no, xfce4 is the desktop itself, that manages your windows when working. The esktop manager manages your login and starts your desktop [07:21] display manager* [07:21] when you are at the login prompt, see what desktop options you have that you can log in to [07:21] matsaman, yes, right, sorry [07:24] 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] zuwuko: what is it you are trying to get out of using RAID? [07:26] RAID1 is a mirror, are you dealing with an initial copy? === Euph0ria is now known as EuphOria === EuphOria is now known as Euph0ria === jhona-aima1 is now known as jhona-aima [08:18] I am trying to perform a backup of my /home folder from a different user [08:18] I cannot copy those files since I do not have permission [08:18] If I have a user with sudo privileges [08:19] can I change the ownership of those files? [08:23] 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] FrankyGov: you shouldn't change the ownership of the files you're backing up [08:24] tomreyn, I am trying to copy the folders to an external drives, but I cannot copy certain folders and files [08:25] FrankyGov: about reading the the files, the easiest approach is to backup as the root user. [08:27] 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] 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] now frankybackup can read all the files that are group readable in /home/franky [08:31] 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] 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] tomreyn, I just added the user. [08:33] How can I try to copy recursively the folder? [08:33] I wanted to check if the process skips any folder or file [08:34] i'd tar czf /where/to/backup/to/backup.tar.gz /home/franky/ [08:36] 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] Hi! Is there any way to make apt (or aptitude) produce machine-friendly JSON output? [08:49] tomreyn: could he sudo from the 2nd account as himself and have all the proper perms he needs? [08:49] just curious [08:58] 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] test [09:11] question, why does cn.archive.ubuntu.com point to us.archive.ubuntu.com when there are local mirrors? [09:11] makes it really tedius to install anything as the US mirrors are seriously slow inside China [09:12] I've got to go and manually change my sources to use a Chinese mirror such as tsinghua [09:24] 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] He said that he couldn't use his original account because his shell was corrupted. At least I thought that was the context === jhona-aima1 is now known as jhona-aima [09:39] hello! i'm running ubuntu 19.10 and unable to use chromium-browser as my 'default'?

[10:43] Hiyas all [10:45] 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.

[15:49] actually, there is no RC [15:50] if you are exactly on date with all of this - its just impressive [15:57] "During the week leading up to the final release, the images produced are all considered release candidates" [15:58] so, i am wrong and correct ..sort of [16:03] 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] valentin, you 're looking for the beta release ? [16:03] when released, you will have the final versions of all packages, no problem [16:04] valentin; you will still have zero day updates regardless [16:05] 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] valentin, the beta is here : http://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ [16:06] Bushmaster, there should be no requirement immediately [16:06] 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] update your servers freely of your clients [16:06] Bushmaster, but read the release notes [16:06] hey is mozilla seamonkey in the respositories? [16:08] 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] Bushmaster, depends entirely on your software needs [16:09] could be windows, could be linux something, or otherwise - more info is needed I suppose [16:12] choose some desktop flavor, or miniiso to choose from them all ( + services like ssh) [16:13] 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] not an ubuntu issue, choose and have fun [16:21] Bushmaster, I think it all depends on you choice of sw for the students [16:21] less on your choice os OS [16:23] what is sw BarnabasDK [16:28] what office suite do you consider on linux? [16:28] LibreOffice [16:28] or is it a cloud based thing like office365 or google docs [16:29] in which case any compatible browser will do [16:30] bt as oerheks said - not really a ubuntu issue [16:33] no problem [16:34] Bushmaster: ltsp might be good for your setup, see ltsp.org [16:35] pavlos, +1 [16:39] 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] have* [16:40] No, adjusting swappiness is usually done by those who fear wear-and-tear of a ssd... those were the old days [16:41] kenperkins, try swapon --summary [16:41] when you are going full tilt [16:41] you are probably using nothing .. [16:41] swappiness = 0, is silly, that means no use of swap at all [16:42] used: 61940 [16:42] 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] asked for help late last night but everyone was sleeping [16:43] xXBadDreamXx, do your xbox run ubuntu? [16:43] its a pc running xubuntu [16:43] 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] i stream from my windows game machine to the xubuntu pc connected to my tv [16:44] kenperkins, RAM is a cheap today [16:44] capt obivous over here ;) thx :) [16:44] swapping is it worth it? [16:44] i would like 64 gigs of ddr4 ram...i have 3.50 [16:45] in theory, with 64gb of ram I should never swap [16:45] but should I force that with a setting? or trust the system with the default of 60 [16:46] dont force it [16:46] If you plan to hibernate the machine you still need 64 GB swap :P [16:46] akem, different scenario but yes [16:46] hm I can't remember if it sleeps or hibernates, but I do one of them yes [16:47] i wish there were more linux gamers out there [16:47] I run steam and game on mine [16:47] i have problems and i need helps! ;) [16:47] cool kenperkins [16:48] my xbox controller problem is giving me fits [17:00] How do I display the file name in which the grepped term has been found ?

[19:29] 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] But seriously, for something more AWS direct, ask in the AWS channel. [19:29] Helenah, tried, not satsified; asked here [19:29] Helenah, its about the two commands [19:29] why use either a [19:30] This is for Ubuntu specific issues though. [19:30] and which first [19:30] Helenah, its ubuntu/linux command I guess? [19:30] the os is ubuntu [19:30] best ask in ubuntu. Am I on the right track?

[20:57] timedatectl --help [20:58] why UTC giving me wrong time [20:58] tomreyn, [20:59] UTC is now 20:59 [20:59] apart form some seconds drift the "date" command and "timedatectl" command provided you with the correct time, in the UTC timezone [20:59] CyberiaAxis: timezonectl list-timezones ... find the nearest to kolkata, then timezonectl set-timezone Asia/somewhere [20:59] the drift is due to your system not reaching ntp servers, i would think [21:00] okay [21:00] datetimectl set-timezone Asia/Kolkata [21:00] CyberiaAxis: timezonectl set-timezone Asia/Kolkata [21:01] timezonectl is also oke.. i would use datetimectl [21:01] after that need to restart??? [21:02] NTP service: inactive what this? [21:02] CyberiaAxis: type again, timedatectl [21:03] CyberiaAxis: sync time with public NTP servers [21:03] yes NTP should be enable [21:03] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CVjDMJYdkh/ [21:04] i run the command [21:04] sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Kolkat [21:04] now update https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CVjDMJYdkh/ [21:05] CyberiaAxis: good, you're on IST now [21:05] now i wanna enable the NTP [21:05] is possible? [21:05] systemd-timesyncd is enabled by default usually. [21:06] tomreyn, sudo systemd-timesyncd [21:06] sudo: systemd-timesyncd: command not found [21:06] it'd be in /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd on 18.04 LTS [21:06] but we don't know what you run [21:07] tomreyn, i am using 19.10 [21:07] server [21:07] should be the same there [21:07] there's always "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" [21:07] CyberiaAxis: timedatectl set-ntp true then sudo systemctl start ntp [21:09] sudo systemctl start ntp [21:09] Failed to start ntp.service: Unit ntp.service not found. [21:09] pavlos, [21:09] CyberiaAxis: sudo apt install ntp [21:11] pavlos, done all command [21:11] commands [21:11] now? [21:11] need to restart the server? [21:11] so you replaced one time server by another, more complex, with more outdated code. [21:12] tomreyn, not understand? [21:12] CyberiaAxis: timedatectl [21:12] CyberiaAxis: is ntp active? also systemctl status ntp will tell you the service is running [21:12] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PzZYD9cxHS/ [21:13] ntpd is and old beast, it's featureful but old software. you already had a time server running, most likely, systemd-timesyncd [21:13] pavlos, its stuck on something [21:14] 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] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2jTzBmB6Jt/ [21:15] tomreyn, so now? [21:15] CyberiaAxis: try again, timedatectl set-ntp true then check again, timedatectl [21:17] maybe in your vm, you better keep systemtime.. timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock [21:17] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zmp9VQMhyN/ [21:18] CyberiaAxis: ntpq -p (it should list the NTP servers checking [21:18] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7m352FdxRJ/ oerheks [21:18] pavlos, cyberia@cyberia:~$ sudo ntpq -p [21:18] ntpq: read: Connection refused [21:19] pavlos, [21:19] CyberiaAxis: ntp.service is running? [21:21] pavlos, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NdnJfvJKxJ/ [21:21] CyberiaAxis: ps aux | grep ntpd show show [21:22] CyberiaAxis: it's DEAD [21:22] cyberia@cyberia:~$ sudo ps aux | grep ntpd show [21:22] grep: show: No such file or directory [21:22] CyberiaAxis: ps aux | grep ntpd ... my typo [21:23] pavlos, cyberia@cyberia:~$ sudo ps aux | grep ntpd [21:23] cyberia 2876 0.0 0.1 6296 924 pts/0 S+ 21:22 0:00 grep --color=auto ntpd [21:24] CyberiaAxis: ntpd is not running ... sudo systemctl restart ntp, then check again === CyberiaAxis is now known as Rockwood [21:25] pavlos, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PgXdyypk6p/ [21:26] after this sudo systemctl restart ntp [21:26] unmask it first? [21:26] means? [21:26] what ve to unmask? [21:27] Rockwood: ntp.servcie started, do you have an ntpd process running? then ntpq -p === smelly_idiot is now known as crocodile === crocodile is now known as blastoise [21:28] pavlos, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4QfS8tCD6D/ [21:29] Rockwood: read line 15 [21:30] pavlos, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jwzxTNwt9H/ [21:30] Rockwood: that looks good [21:30] now? [21:31] pavlos, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3xSFS5KgrJ/ [21:32] pavlos, now my time is correct [21:32] ?? [21:33] Rockwood: you could look at what you posted and compare the time stamps you see [21:34] i.e. the timestamp reported by your system against the timestamp reported by the paste service [21:34] tomreyn, actually my php and mysql isn't getting correct time till now [21:35] need a restart? [21:35] tomreyn, [21:35] of server [21:35] what would be "correct time" and what is "not correct time"? [21:35] as per my UTC [21:36] its not coming as per my UTC [21:36] universal time coordinated is universal, not just yours [21:36] lol [21:36] i means as per my location it should be come [21:37] anyway thanks [21:37] so you're saying the timezone you set on your system isn't being applied to the output generated by these softwares [21:37] what is the timestamp reported by this software and what is the timestamnp you'd expect it to report? [21:37] yeah [21:38] actually as per our UTC 19-04-2020 03:08 [21:38] i can't seem to follow. [21:38] and as per Universal time: Sat 2020-04-18 21:27:32 UTC [21:39] Rockwood: UTC is GMT [21:39] ok [21:39] +530 [21:39] GMT 530 [21:39] Rockwood: your timezone is 5.5 hours ahead [21:39] oops, there goes the time machine [21:41] hi guys. [21:42] so "xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness $val" sets my screen brightness to $val. [21:42] but how do I *query* the current brightness value? [21:42] (so I can make a couple of scripts to brighten up and down) [21:48] syntaxfree: xrandr --verbose | grep Brightness [21:48] 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] I wonder what performs visually better (in backlit displays) with low brightness, dark on white or white on black. [21:49] (perform visually better = on usability/eye strain metrics) [21:49] syntaxfree: "grep . /sys/class/backlight/*/* " [21:49] Hi. Is it possible to have 2 user account and for one use propriety nvidia driver and for second opensourced? [21:50] syntaxfree: you can 'poke' the 'brightness' node there to a value between min and max === subdavis0 is now known as subdavis [21:51] to complete pavlos's answer, if it matters: "xrandr --verbose | grep Brightness | cut -f2 -d:" does the trick. === subdavis0 is now known as subdavis [22:42] o/ [23:01] hello, i have the next error with package updater: Spawn of helper '/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/aptcc/get-distro-upgrade.py' failed: failed to spawn /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/aptcc/get-distro-upgrade.py: Falló al ejecutar el proceso hijo «/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/aptcc/get-distro-upgrade.py» (No existe el archivo o el directorio) [23:05] lestac: Please paste in a paste site of your choice ' LANG=C;sudo apt update ; LANG=C;sudo apt upgrade '.

[23:20] 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] i can remove that from app index ? [23:22] you can apt purge the "pk-update-icon" debian/apt package. === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [23:50] hi [23:50] I am trying to use Zoom on this computer (kubuntu 19.10) and for some reason it isn't identifying them microphone (I get an empty pick list in the Microphone settings) [23:50] how can I fix this? thanks.
