[01:49] I've got a problem. 20.04 it just slows down. I did top and it seems like there's something called the Plex server. I'd like to find out where it is and uninstall it. Can you help me.? [01:50] Oh and it runs as root [01:50] tripelb: check snap list [01:51] How do I check a snap list? Plus I remove snap and added flat pack in the opposite order. [01:51] I am looking in the chrome extensions now [01:51] Not a chrome ext. [01:55] I googled how to see my snap extensions and it gave me a DP kg for how to see all installed programs which didn't work [01:56] Wouldn't it show when I search for programs [01:56] I've got other things going on. I can't get the display back to single screen. I was using two monitors for a while and now I don't want to do it today [01:56] When I open settings it just doesn't show on my laptop screen [01:57] It appears in the dock and then a number one appears on the left but I don't have a way to change it [01:58] Sorry I don't have a big sophisticated Linux problem but I would love help [01:59] This is what happened yesterday after I went to settings The whole computer locks up. Yesterday about every 30 seconds the mouse would move 2 in and that was the best I could do [02:00] Well I need to reboot anyway ... because I installed the strain IRC client from flat pack. I don't find hex chat convenient. It's somewhat like MIRC 20 years ago [02:01] tripelb: press 'c' in 'top' to see the full path of the running command [02:02] plex media server is a legit software, but if you dont know what it is, its probably something bad in a disguise [02:02] it certainly shouldn't run as root, if it was the real deal [02:03] Understood. [02:03] I got something bad from Linux?. I think I clicked on something That said Plex server. I thought I would try it. [02:04] you clicked what exactly? [02:04] I guess I can reinstall 20.04 if I need to but all those extra things I add take a while like a day of my time. [02:04] I don't remember exactly what I clicked on or I'd be reporting it in a more concise manner. [02:04] It probably was a couple weeks ago [02:04] browser history? [02:05] I could look in my browser history. I probably have about 5,000 things in it in 2 weeks. [02:05] you can search in it for plex [02:05] Ah ha, but of course. Will do. Thanks bindi. [02:08] This is just a b****. I could not drag a picture from my desktop to a file's window onto the icon for the folder pictures, I had to have two file windows/tabs and drag it from one to another.

Speakers work. If I reboot while the headphone jack is not plugged in, headphone jack works, until I press pause in VLC and come back a few minutes later. Then I have to type `$ sudo alsa force-reload` and restart VLC, which fixes audio in the headphones. [05:58] Audio did not work at all in Ubuntu 20.04 until the most recent update === KaptenRodSkagg1 is now known as KaptenRodSkagg [05:59] I have no question. Thanks everyone [06:02] Hi guys, I have the weirdest problem. At random times when I start a software called IntelliJ my two extra screens turns off and says "No signal", my laptop screen is still on. If I go to another TTY then kill the intellij process then back to ctrl+alt+f2 i get the two screens back. I've updated from 19.04 to 20.04 both had the same problem. The weird things is that it suddenly works another day, it seems [06:02] random :/ any tip? === leaftype2 is now known as leaftype [06:23] Using the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel 2 questions 1) I am using Ubuntu Bionic (18.04.04 LTS), but kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic is 4.x and my kernel version is 5.x, I see bionic-signed, but I am not doing a signed build, what should I use to check out from git here? 2) How do I take advantage of a 16 core CPU here since it's not using make-kpkg/make [06:25] poutine: 5.x is from the next release, so you'd need the ubuntu-eoan git repo (is that the 5.x !? ) [06:25] TJ-: I am using a fairly default configuration and have 5.3.0-51 [06:27] I guess I somehow unknowingly got into HWE, will read up more on that [06:27] poutine: that presumably comes from 19.10 Eoan via the HWE of Bionic [06:27] !hwe | poutine [06:27] poutine: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [06:28] someone implemented their own sound driver blacklist that cannot be bypassed in 5.3.x and it broke my sound that has been working for quite some time :/ [06:28] thanks TJ- for the pointer === comicsansgreenki is now known as curloxide [06:29] Strange issue here with multiple laptops and 20.04 - we have 2 Wifi APs on the same SSID 3o metres apart and *only* these laptops insist on connecting to the furthest! Smartphones connect to the closest without a problem. NetworkManager, even using "nmcli con up SSID ap BSSID" to connect to the closer AP, seems to ignore it [06:29] Hello. I am attempting to build a LAMP stack. Is there anyone present with experience setting up one? [06:29] s/3o/30/ [06:31] TJ: Do they have antennas on the closer ones? [06:31] NickShades: install the individual packages and configure whatever web service it is you're intending to deploy. LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL/MaraiDB, PHP/Python/Perl :) [06:31] NickShades: they're all Unifi APs [06:31] mmm. [06:31] NickShades: indeed! [06:32] NickShades: re: LAMP prefer replacing the M with (P)ostgreSQL [06:32] TJ: Do I need MaraiDB in addition to MySQL? I am only attempting to run a WordPress installation. And i'm having touble installing phpMyAdmin after completing the stack - but no MaraiDB. [06:32] I was under the impression that Marai was a substitution of MySQL [06:32] NickShades: no you don't - MariaDB was the fork of MySQL when Oracle bought MySQL [06:33] interesting. [06:33] NickShades: MariaDB is seen as the truly open and unfettered successor to MySQL due to Oracle's business practices and tentacles [06:33] NickShades: rather like Nagios > Icinga [06:33] I wonder if I should uninstall my whole installation and start fresh. === comicsansgreenki is now known as curloxide [06:34] if I could just get phpMyAdmin to install, I feel as though I could go through with my installation of wordpress. but... this is the first one which I have ever done, and documentation I am finding online seems dated. [06:37] TJ-: So any idea how to change concurrency (threads) when using this fakeroot debian/rules build method? [06:38] poutine: yeah I've used that method many times, let me dig out the docs on those options for you [06:42] TJ-: debian/rules -j 32 might have been it, I did see --parallel and --max-parallel, but this seems more like the way [06:46] poutine: see https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/eoan/tree/debian/rules.d/0-common-vars.mk#n203 === elios_ is now known as elios [06:47] thanks TJ- [06:47] NickShades: phpMyAdmin relies on a working PHP install, so I'd guess if you have problems that issue is in the Apache/PHP integrations [06:49] got it. [06:49] I'll look into it maybe some other time. I was hoping it was going to be a bit easier than this. I feel like it might be an error within the Ubuntu Cinammon Remix distro which I am using. [06:49] I am having apt-get issues with a couple elements of its update/upgrade [06:53] Hello again. It turns out quitting all apps using audio, unplugging headphones, restarting alsa, starting VLC and playing a video, and after that finally inserting headphone jack is what restores audio. It is needed every time audio stops. in VLC or on a web page. The only way I can restore audio is by using VLC, no other audio source works from early investigation. [07:06] NickShades: sounds likely [07:06] kvndy: is the system not using PulseAudio? [07:13] TJ-: PulseAudio runs.

[14:11] oh, launchpad shows that https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice [14:12] and you know how you installed it from a 3rd party source, maybe direct download?

[15:27] sharpertool: perhaps you can just ssh from the mac to ubuntu. [15:27] I have 6 monitors here. 4 on my mac, and 2 for Ubuntu, that are really JUST to set the geometry [15:28] i am a little confused, why is it unclear about remmina and it being a client [15:28] @johnfg - I do that all the time [15:28] But, I have apps that launch guis.. [15:28] I am doing hardware engineering, so using Quartus, Platform Designer.. these are Java apps with Guis [15:28] sharpertool, Just run x11vnc on Ubuntu X session, something like: x11vnc -speeds lan -scale 0.8 -passwd eatmyshort -noxdamage -verbose -noxrecord [15:28] And: vncviewer on your Mac. [15:29] I've tried every which way to make that work. I can launch a vncserver, using tightvnc, and 've tried others. [15:29] But, when I connect from Mac using "VNC Viewer", I get a blank desktop, with an ugly background. [15:29] I can't even get the background to be grey. [15:29] sharpertool, Do you use Wayland? [15:30] I've hacked on ~/.vnc/xstartup till I can't stand it... tried every combination I can conceive of.. [15:30] sorry @akem -- what is Wayland? [15:30] sharpertool, The replacement of X org for display. [15:31] I do not know. I did not intentionally install it [15:31] You can select Xorg or Wayland at login screen usually. [15:31] Clicking the little gear icon or the Ubuntu logo i don't remember exactly. [15:31] sharpertool: which de are you using? try one that doesn't use 3d accel [15:34] sharpertool, you arent a hardware engineerer [15:34] I logged out of the Ubuntu. I do not see any 'Wayland" option. There are options in upper right corner, just bluetooth, etc. On lowr right there is settings gear, and there are a handful of options there, I'm using "Ubuntu". There are also XFce Session, Gnome + Remmina Kiost, and more [15:34] But no "Wayland" [15:35] @stevecam - I'm pretty sure I am, Last time I checked. [15:35] sharpertool, is there an Xorg or X option [15:35] no [15:35] im not arguing the point, i can help you, but this lying is just silly [15:36] Why are you certain I am not? What information leads you to this conclusion. [15:36] -- it isn't relevant to my vnc session isssues though. [15:37] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade crashed when I answered D to: show the differences between the versions for Configuration file '/etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf' [15:38] anyone can please tell me how to kill update manager ? kill -9 is saying no such process [15:38] sharpertool: try the xfce session and turn off the compositor in the settings [15:38] id of process was taken with ps -aux Â grep UpdateManager [15:38] Let me try that [15:38] just stop, please, i am not getting in to it, you could see if x was running, are you logged in? [15:39] if he's using xfce he's definitely on x11 [15:39] 'ps -A|grerp Xorg' [15:40] @ducasse - that option did not want to start. I then noticed "Gnome on Xorg" -- which was mentioned already. I launched that. [15:40] gnome uses 3d accel [15:41] can you log in to another VNC server that isn't a Mac [15:42] @stevecam - I am logging into Ubunto from the mac, [15:42] johnfq: it should, did you put the user-unit in ~/.config/systemd/user ? [15:42] anyone can tell me how to kill UpdateManager which seems to be stucked on my machine ? [15:43] so Ubuntu is giving you the blank screen? [15:43] To be clear, my problem is not the main login screen, that is fine. I'm able to login on the attached monitors, KB/Mouse fine. I can then VNC into that login session fine. [15:43] On your Mac, you are having trouble logging in to Ubuntu and all you can see is a blank screen? [15:43] any reason why I can't choose a resolution higher than 1360 x 768? [15:43] fresh ubuntu install [15:44] What I cannot do is launch a vncserver on day port 5901 or 5901 and get a new session there. When I connect, I get a vnc window, but it won't start any session manager, can't open apps, etc. [15:44] I hope that is clear? [15:45] What session manager are you trying to use? [15:47] I've tried Gnome, xfce4, kde. -- but I think that is not the session manager. [15:48] sorry, I get a big confused on those poinrs. what is what in the stack. I am trying to use `startxfce4 &` -- is that the session manager? [15:49] that is the window manager [15:50] Well, this is where I am confused, and not experienced enough about these details [15:50] Previously I did ps -A | Grep Xorg, and there are 2 Xorg processes [15:50] It sounds like what you need is an X server that is also running as a VNC server, am I correct? [15:53] To be honest, I'd go headless on the Ubuntu system if I could figure that out.. [15:53] I started with what worked. I could vnc into the vino-server, which serves my login session. The only problem is that the screen size doesn't match my Mac screens. [15:54] I have been using that for a while and it's been great. [15:55] Have you considered using x2go? I know that it doesn't solve your problem [15:55] A couple of days ago, I went into install some Nvidia drivers, and setup Cuda. after doing that, I noticed my "vnc" session was acting odd. when I type in a terminal, there is lag, and the cursor lags, and editing the command line witih vi is really a pain.... almost unusable. So, I've gone back to looking at these other alternatives. [15:56] If I use the attached screens and mouse, the terminal is snappy as expected, so I've narrowed it down to the vino-server somehow. [15:56] I don't know what x2go is. [15:58] Uh -- okay, looked it up.. x2go actually looks to be exactly what I want, at a quick glance. [15:58] I just want to fully use my Ubuntu, with gui apps as needed, but from my Mac. Mostly cause My mac has a really big LG Ultrawide montior... and 3 other monitors around it. [15:59] It is not going to help with your GPU trouble, but will deal with some of the 2D stuff real well, and you can use your Mac to manage your windows also so it appears as if they are running on your Mac [16:02] The GPU is not my real issue at this time. [16:02] I use mate for mine, KDE and Gnome will not work, the problem with VNC might be something to do with being headless, I have to use dummy HDMI adapters for my PC to do anything like that, you could have a bit of luck with fake EDID profiles [16:05] I went old school. I had 2 monitors available, so I just connected them. I'm sitting surrounded by 8 screens to be honest. [16:06] So, my Ubuntu isn't actually headless... the EDID would be better, I could avoid the monitors. [16:06] But, I've been trying to setup "additional" vncserver sessions so that I could connect multiple times, and possible resolve this issue with the keyboard lag. [16:07] The keyboard lag is the thing that is just *CRUSHING* my productivity.. [16:09] You probably want to stay away from official nVidia drivers, they have ways of disabling features like these intentionally, it's more common with their Windows drivers [16:10] yes, I learned that too late. [16:12] I do not know what driver was being used when I did the fresh install.. but I'd like to just go back to that and uninstall the nvidia stuff completely. [16:22] By the way -- a huge "thank you" for all of the assistance from @stevecam, @ducase and a couple of others that offered some advice. [16:27] sharpertool, I found that w10 drivers do better video than linux (for multihead uses - also forced to use linux at work and this is all driven by one corp w10 notebook) tinyurl.com/donofriodownstairsoffice2020 [16:30] Oh, that is pretty cool @donofrio - nicely done [16:30] (it's WSL1 w/w10 providing sanity when locked into corp windows world and no ms store) with ubuntu 18.04 and xfce4 [16:31] I'll be in #ubuntu-on-windows if you have more thoughts folks here don't like my setup cause it had to many manual steps or something.... === RoeyMecoMeco is now known as Roeyoeyoeyoey [16:33] I used to have six monitors and three desktop's running ubuntu and synergy but when IA came around asking for ddns, group policy enforing and such I gave up and turned into the wave [16:37] sharpertool, it was a grand setup - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsBlZbBf72iNrSKiD9bzZgGZ0NTm back circa 2015 [16:38] windows desktop was notebook under phone...that I remmina's into to read outlook and the like.... === alazred_ is now known as alazred [17:00] hi, is there someone in ubuntu core team here? I found that there's problem syncing packages, https://pastebin.com/nmpiaT94 [17:01] I think something might have been changed in China's mirror servers. [17:25] blueingress: problems with repos & mirrors, try in #ubuntu-mirrors please [17:33] blueingress, did you try apt-get update first? [17:40] the error says; mirror sync in progress? so try again in a minute, if that does not work, remove lists; sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists && sudo apt update ## https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure [17:56] Hi, I have a logitech C920 webcam that I use on Ubuntu 20.04. I would like to be able to adjust the zoom, tilt and brightness etc during an active video call. [17:59] I can do this with guvcview if I am not connected to application such as Skype, Meetup or gotomeeting which means I have to end video call, adjust and then reconnect [17:59] any idea how I can got about adjusting settings while video call is in progress. [18:00] correction: got => go [18:16] hi [18:16] what screen recording software do you recommend for ubuntu 20.04? [18:17] imi, I use simplescreenrecorder [18:17] I used to use green recorder iirc 1-2 years ago [18:18] where the sw installer app went? how is it called now? (for bonus points: how is it called in hungarian?) [18:20] https://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/ [18:20] Open imi: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is another screen recording software that you could use [18:20]
