=== londoed is now known as xbpsin [00:44] bug #1 [00:44] bug 1 in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [01:08] has anyone here ever had some experience making new swap for an installation whee to swap was just too small. (Somehow I made 16M instead of 16G. I have lots of unassigned partitions - but I did all the partitions with the windows formatter. (I forgot my windows password.) [01:08] Then I have to inform "something" to reassign the swap partition. [01:08] tripleb: just make a new swap file, one or two gigs should be fine [01:09] I have 8G of RAM. My problem is the computer freezes (hard reboot) when I use chrome. [01:10] How do I "make a new swap file. Can I make my 18.04 partition smaller. (now I am using 10.04. sarnold [01:11] whoa "Heart And Chops" has spaces in her nick! [01:12] sarnold -- CORRECTION: I am now using 20.04 [01:12] My eyes faded out there. [01:12] tripleb: dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/filesystem/swapfile bs=$((1024*1024)) count=1024 -- whichever filesystem has enough space for one.. [01:13] tripleb: then mkswap /path/to/filesystem/swapfile ; then swapon /path/to/filesystem/swapfile , the run swapon again to make sure it worked [01:13] OK now I have to learn what that statement does. -- Dont I have to use gparted to carve off the gigs? [01:13] dd and swapon === [rg] is now known as grant_ [01:14] tripleb: using a swap file means not needing to mess with partitions [01:16] I have a swap partition now. You are suggesting something called a swap file. Right? [01:16] yes [01:16] Which means if I ever overwrite that partion then I have to make sure I take care of the swapfile. [01:16] what? [01:17] So I better use the 20.04 partition. [01:17] I have a set of partitions so I can try different flavors. [01:17] Maybe I will overwrite it now with manjaro. [01:21] tripleb: Now-a-days a swap file is prefered over a swap partition. [01:21] I think the installer switched to creating swap files rather than partitions [01:22] OhKay. I will go look that up. Making partitions has always been a stress for me. It's the most stressful part of an installation. [01:22] you can of course create a swap partition if you'd rather for some reason -- multiple OSes that trust each other might be a pretty good reason for that, tbh [01:22] but swap files are pretty easy === zbenjamin is now known as Guest8768 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:22] I don't see how I have any preference except for reliability and ease. [01:23] tripleb: sarnold But me thinks if a swap partition exists - the partition will be used. [01:23] depends what grub says .. [01:24] Bashing-om: you can configure them both :) just add the swap device and swap file to /etc/fstab [01:24] hi. I have Ubuntu LTS 16.04 and I can't get Anki to work. I've installed it from both apt and source and both times it fails to connect to the internet. any ideas [01:24] sarnold: Noted ^ :D [01:25] willhslade: what error does it give you? [01:25] Syncing failed:Error establishing a secure connection. This is usually caused by antivirus, firewall or VPN software, or problems with your ISP. [01:27] wow that's vague :( I hate software that doesn't give you an actual error message [01:27] are there better errors in a log file somewhere? [01:27] seems a lot of isssues with anki, try the snap version ?https://snapcraft.io/install/anki-woodrow/ubuntu [01:28] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1135747/anki-doesnt-start-in-ubuntu-19-04 and gets stuck with debian upstream [01:34] argh. ok. so my ubuntu is 32 bit, and even if I install the latest 32 bit it still gives me an error [01:35] bummer. my usual debugging route is (a) try to find a better error message in log files (b) run the thing through strace [01:35] strace is painful [01:35] but you can get an actual error message sometimes [01:58] Bashing-om: fstab dictates which swap to use (partition/swapfile) as I remember. [02:01] pavlos: Yup - fstab is the sensible thing. === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly [02:35] Hi! Which tool do you use to schedule stand-by/sleep/power-saving mode, on 20.04 Gnome? I intend to set a 1 - 2h countdown, once completed executes a "put the box to sleep" routine. (I want to play soothing music while i enter Dreamland, but i don't want my box running for the rest of the night.) [02:39] where would I get local documentation for lxd? [02:39] no man pages in the snap === rud0lf is now known as neq === neq is now known as rud0lf [03:10] Are there ANY snaps to provide man pages? …i'm still not convinced snaps/flatpacks/appimages are a desirable idea …e.g. the Nextcloud snap; super easy and fun to install - unless you really need to tweak a few config files …I'd rather spin up a full-blown VM [04:39] faekjarz: `lynx http://man.he.net/` === tehaugmenter is now known as AUGZ === AUGZ is now known as augz === fastascanbe is now known as jamezz [05:15] btw, someone in #gnome-shell mentioned a keyword/search term, that led me to https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1152/shutdowntimer/ …that seems to be exactly what i want …we'll see, after my next sleep cycle [06:16] anyone knows an ubuntu mp3 auto organiser app based on ID3 tgs? [06:45] gry_, hey you online? [06:45] I'm having an issue with my network card [06:46] I'mu sing a HP Pavillion dv4-2154ca with Ubuntu 20. The wireless card looks to be working "ok" but the wired card doesn't connect past 100 Mb [06:46] how would I go about debuging this? [06:47] how do I find out what hardware this laptop has? [06:48] lspci [06:51] edgars, ok so realtek RTL810xE [06:52] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1195475/ethernet-controllers-not-working-realtek-rtl810xe-realtek-rtl8111 [06:53] think that should do it [06:53] edgars, thanks [06:54] lsmod [06:54] look for driver [06:54] ahh, you already found something, ok, thats good [06:55] ya looks like it [06:55] can you take a look at the website, are the instructions doable you think? [06:56] how can I tell what driver I'm using right now? [06:57] lsmod [06:58] edgars, that list a bunch of things I'm not sure what I'm looking at [06:59] https://github.com/ghostrider-reborn/realtek-r8101-linux-driver [06:59] follow the instructions [06:59] ya I found that [07:00] ok I'll try [07:13] think it worked [07:14] thanks again edgars [07:58] I use apt-btrfs-snapshot. I just reverted to a snapshot, and apt no longer works because of an apt-btrfs-snapshot error. I get "ERROR: Could not statfs: No such file or directory". the --debug option gives no further information, so I don't even know what file is missing. I also can't reinstall apt-btrfs-snapshot because apt is dead. How can I tell apt to ignore apt-btrfs-snapshot so I can try [07:58] reinstalling it? [08:17] is there any way to create a empty text file without open terminal in ubuntu 20.04? [08:18] like in windows right click in folder and add empty text file [08:19] gillzone, depends, in dolphin you just do it like you described it [08:20] alright but I think I'm using nautilus [08:21] and it doesn't have it? I really suggest dolphin, `sudo apt install dolphin` - it's much better imo :) [08:26] alright I will give it a try, thx :) [08:39] If I want to fix my laptop's inability to suspend, what steps should I take to debug? I remember there was a tool to test the power management subsystem or the firmware or something like that, but I can't remember its name. [08:42] k_sze, Maybe your laptop is not supported. But in any case be sure to have at least as much swap as the total RAM in your machine. [08:43] Could anyone take a look at https://gugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-btrfs-snapshot/+bug/1870482 ? [08:43] Launchpad bug 1870482 in apt-btrfs-snapshot (Ubuntu) "apt-btrfs-snapshot blocks apt" [Undecided,Confirmed] [08:44] akem, my swap is tiny. And I'm not even talking about hibernation (hibernation kinda breaks WiFi anyway). I'm talking about suspend to RAM. [08:44] k_sze, Nm, i thought about hibernation. [08:51] Basically what happens is that, if i close the lid of my laptop, it *attempts* to suspend. The fans would go spin down, but then after a second they spin right back up and the laptop isn't actually suspended; it will still drain battery and remain warm to the touch after an hour. [08:52] There was a utility that will automatically perform suspend-resume cycles of the computer and collect diagnostics info. I forget the name. [09:09] So I have a USB DAC that supports up to 192kHz @ 24-bit per sample. [09:10] When I connect it to my laptop (running Ubuntu 18.04), the USB DAC says it's doing 48 kHz @ 24-bit per sample. [09:10] How do I control the sampling frequency the Ubuntu requests? [09:29] hi guys, i just wanted to ask on how can i restrict other users from accessing the \home dir [09:29] juanonymous: your home dir or the /home dir? [09:29] let's say for example only users will be granted permission to access that dir. [09:29] yep the /home [09:30] i have two 3 users. so i want them to only access their own /home dir === rud0lf is now known as dee [09:32] is there a some app on Ubuntu that stitches photographs into 3d images like STLs [09:32] chmod -R username:username 0700 /home [09:32] is that correct? === dee is now known as rud0lf [09:34] I had a look not all apps set only owner persmissions so not sure it will be fully sufficient [09:35] but if you are asking wether this will give read, write and execute to the owner then yes it will [09:50] so can anyone help with openssh-server install on ubuntu with preseed? === mateen1 is now known as mateen [10:27] edgars, probably but it requires you to tell us what ails you [10:40] I've switched from xfce4 to kde and can't see snap or any of the snap installed software in the kde launcher [10:41] Dunams: is snapd installed? [10:41] even opening a .deb file is opening it as an archive instead of the software installer [10:42] lotuspsychje, yes [10:42] Dunams: opening deb files, that could be a known bug already on 20.04 [10:42] "snapd is already the newest version (2.45.1+20.04)." [10:44] for example, from the start menu when I search for Slack, it shows me folders of it under ~/snap/slack [10:44] but they're all empty [10:44] Dunams: on gnome its the snap-store now handling both apt & snap packages, not sure wich kde uses now [10:45] Dunams: you still got the /dev/loop dirs on df -h ? [10:47] yes [10:47] Dunams: snap-store among those dirs? [10:48] pm'ed you [10:48] Dunams: so snap-store is installed, what happens when you launch it? [10:49] what's the binary name? i'll try running it from terminal [10:49] don't see it from the menu either [10:49] snap-store should launch it [10:49] zsh: command not found: snap-store [10:50] perhaps something with the path is messed up? [10:51] maybe while changing from xfce4 to kde desktop something was broken [10:52] Dunams: that could be yeah, i also see gnome 3.34 in your snap list did you install gnome too? [10:52] snap command does work though, just not snap-store [10:52] Dunams: try to sudo snap remove snap-store perhaps then reinstall? [10:52] I believe I initially installed ubuntu, then xfce desktop and then kde [10:53] It was a few weeks ago so I'm not fresh on that [10:53] Dunams: ok, well we mostly reccomend, if you like a !flavour of ubuntu to clean install it, to avoid frankenbuntu mixes like this afterwards [10:54] yeah, that makes sense, it was some time since I used linux (currently on osx), so I was trying to see what works for me [10:54] its good for testing purposes to check several DE's [10:54] but if you start purging things, you keep behind with a mixed system [10:55] why can't i play live youtube streams on firefox 78 on ubuntu [10:57] lotuspsychje: is it possible to purge all DEs (have a pure CLI) and only install kde? [10:57] or would I have to do a clean install? [10:58] Dunams: its posible to purge the de's sure, but as i said mixing too many things will always leave you a messed system, i would go for a clean install kde, if thats what you really like [10:59] Dunams: but if you have backups, you can try purge gnome & xfce [10:59] maybe kde will still dominate your system [10:59] freebds, weird, i can play live streams just fine on firefox 78 [10:59] I like the old gnome (2 was it?), but kde is nice, I believe i'll stick with it [10:59] CRITICAL: zsys: installed zsys package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 [10:59] coconut i just installed ubuntu [11:00] Dunams: gnome2 can still be installed from the repos [11:00] i didnot install 3rd party drivers === Scotty_Trees is now known as Scotty_Trees_HP [11:00] freebds, ubuntu mate here... should be the same === Scotty_Trees_HP is now known as Scotty_Trees === Scotty_Trees is now known as Scotty_Trees_HP [11:02] Dunams: aka gnome-flashback [11:04] Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. === Scotty_Trees_HP is now known as Scotty_Trees [11:05] lotuspsychje: yeah I saw, nice [11:07] freebds, did that error message tell you anything? [11:07] url i mean? [11:07] I'm trying to purge all the gnome tools and snapd and reinstall snapd again [11:07] perhaps it'll work [11:17] freebds you would need the specific codec for that (idk which yt live uses) [11:19] installing ffmpeg [11:25] 'Morning all [11:33] Hello, World.

Or a way to regularily download the database behind it? [12:04] Something like https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/data/json would be enough [12:06] hashworks: Alternatively Ubuntu's USN has RSS: https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/rss.xml [12:07] Hm, that would only handle new vulnerabilities.

Eventhough I have updated my system through sudo apt-get update. So how to solve the issue.https://pastebin.com/gksyMkYL [13:23] ajnr upgrading your system is apt upgrade, update only updates the repositories [13:23] quadrathoch2, yes I did, but it's not showing any effect [13:24] ajnr, hm, I did the upgrade just 1-2 weeks ago. [13:24] ajnr can you make sure if your sources.list is up to date? [13:24] quadrathoch2, https://pastebin.com/dCpY1jrv [13:25] quadrathoch2, what to do to make sure sources.list is uptodate or not [13:26] as in, if the repositories are correct. sorry uptodate was probably the wrong word. [13:27] quadrathoch2, any command to check? [13:28] not really, but you could paste the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list [13:28] (pastebin) [13:29] quadrathoch2, please have a look https://pastebin.com/ZwmeKM4e [13:32] ajnr hm, I guess he was complaining about your third party repos, but not sure. [13:32] quadrathoch2, but i dont think it will be a problem to upgrade distro [13:33] what happens if you do 'sudo apt full-upgrade'? [13:35] quadrathoch2, it is showing https://pastebin.com/9EBUqgLT [13:36] ajnr that's probably your issue, so I would first fix that. what happens if you 'sudo apt -f install' [13:36] ajnr I guess you installed cuda through the repositories? [13:37] quadrathoch2, what is the issue actually? https://pastebin.com/rsy4Ea8v [13:37] quadrathoch2, yes [13:37] ajnr: remove "cuda-drivers". Preferably use ppa-purge to purge the ppa you installed it from [13:38] leftyfb, are you sure ? [13:38] ajnr: packages installed from external repo's is not supported during the upgrade process [13:39] leftyfb, ok [13:39] so there would also be wine ajnr [13:39] and maybe docker? as it is commented [13:39] leftyfb, so should i give sudo apt-get remove nvidia-cuda-toolkit command ? [13:39] quadrathoch2, yes [13:41] ajnr: it's complaining about cuda-drivers, not nvidia-cuda-toolkit [13:41] leftyfb, ok, what command should i give [13:42] ajnr: personally, I use ppa-purge to purge all ppa's and the packaged installed from them. Of course I keep a list of these ppa's and the packages to be installed later if still needed [13:44] leftyfb, so you mean i should keep backup of sources.list content [13:48] ppas, are normally in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. I would just remove those (plus packages you installed) (and probably write it down somewhere so you remember) and then after upgrade reinstall those [13:48] ajnr ^ [13:49] quadrathoch2, [13:49] ok [13:49] quadrathoch2, ok [13:50] the proper method is to use ppa-purge [13:50] just removing the repo's does nothing [13:50] that's why I said removing also the packages [13:50] ppa-purge will remove the repo and all the packages installed from it and potentially roll back packages that were upgraded from it [13:51] leftyfb, so which commands whould i run now? [13:51] I'm running into some hard freezes that I think are because of my graphics card. Apparently, my card is kind of notorious for having unstable drivers. Would you folks recommend I try a newer kernel, like a 5.7, something like https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.7.8/ ? [13:52] If newer drivers are back-ported into LTS kernels maybe that's not a great idea. [13:52] ajnr: https://www.tecmint.com/add-remove-purge-ppa-in-ubuntu/ scroll down to "Purge PPA from Terminal" [13:52] But that's why I'm asking [13:53] AlexMax gpu? [13:53] Radeon 5700XT [13:53] oof, yeah you would need kernel+mesa [13:55] Where's a good PPA to get mesa from? [13:56] AlexMax updated daily, so it could mess up stuff https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers [13:56] Thanks [14:04] AlexMax: before trying graphics ppa's it might be interesting to investigate why you having these freezes first [14:05] I can replicate the freezes pretty consistently [14:05] By loading up firefox, visiting google maps, and just clicking around === dominic35 is now known as dominic34 [14:05] Sooner or later, I'll always freeze. [14:05] AlexMax: how do you notice they are caused from your radeon card? [14:05] I presume it's because firefox draws the vectors that google maps passes it in hardware. [14:06] If it was something else the freezes would be random and have no obvious link. [14:06] AlexMax: could you share your dmesg please so volunteers can see whats going on? [14:06] If it was my graphics card being broken it would be worse when I would be playing games. [14:08] the fact that it happens consistently on something innocuous signal to me that google maps is doing some series of operations that the driver chokes on, and because the driver is in kernel space it freezes instead of merely crashing the browser. [14:08] quadrathoch2, leftyfb -yes its working now. Thanks a lot [14:15] I have unattended-upgrades to install security updates automatically, when I got to work this morning one of our servers were shutdown. It was terminated at 04 which is the same time I run my automatic updates on... can anyone explain what the heck happened? [14:16] martin__: are you on ubuntu-server? [14:16] lotuspsychje: yes... I looked in the logs and I did not see it actually installed anything at 04 so am wondering if someone was pending from aa previous upgrade. [14:16] quasineutral, leftyfb while upgrading one distro to another distro through terminal, if there is a internet issue will there be a problem to resume? [14:16] martin__: try asking in #ubuntu-server if you like, for likeminded volunteers [14:32] Hi all. I switched from Fedora to Ubuntu 20.04 and since then I experience some issues with openvpn. I can connect with openvpn through Network-Manager but all my internet traffic goes through the VPN, even if I check the box "Use this connection only for resources on its network" in routes VPN config. [14:33] How can I force the use of VPN only for specific addresses related to this connection? [14:36] my ubuntu system 16.04 freezes randomly. any solution please [14:41] tuxmania, not easy to do, that is why openvpn is so good.. [14:41] old post https://secure1hosting.com/configure-openvpn-to-restrict-access-to-users-servers-and-services/ [14:42] ajnr, do a memtest86 run? [14:43] oerheks, thank you for the link. Actually, the openvpn server I connect to already does that. Sorry if I did not explain well. [14:44] Hi all. I am wondering why is so strange implemented: Press Alt+~ in a dual monitor is displaying tab thumbnails in the main monitor and not in the monitor where the "APP instances switch" is called [14:44] Configuring OpenVPN to route only selected traffic. https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=26889 [14:44] oerheks, When I connect to the openvpn server, as it authorizes only access to certain websites, I cannot access to the "rest" of internet, as all my internet traffic is redirected to the VPN connection. [14:46] 'only access to certain websites' sounds like an vpn settingtoo? [14:46] oerheks, yes, on the server side [14:47] oerheks, I am not able to split my internet traffic: 10.X.X.X to the openvpn connection, and the rest to the global connection [14:52] oerheks, btw thank you for the links. I just don't understand why checking the box "Use this connection only for resources on its network" did split my network traffic as expected on Fedora, and does not do it anymore on Ubuntu [14:57] hey [14:57] anyone using zram? [14:57] does it noticably slow the system? [15:12] oerheks, sorry. After investigating a little bit more, it appears the problem is not related to the routes, but to the DNS [15:12] oh, good spot [15:13] oerheks, apparently, network-manager does not manage to add the DNS servers related to the VPN connection on my system. And as I'm lost with systemd-resolved... it's gonna be fun... [15:19] tuxmania: what about setting the vpn dns into the router? [15:25] Ratel, indeed, I can also do that. Editing manually (not a good idea, just for test purpose) "/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf" allows the DNS resolution [15:26] Ratel, the downside with the router approach is that I will be stuck again next time I will connect outside from home. [15:27] Ratel, but for now, it can be a good work around until I find a final solution. Thank you for the suggestion. [15:44] tuxmania: good luck. I had the same issues with the network manager === mateen1 is now known as mateen [15:45] hey guys [15:45] how to trouble shoot wifi ? [15:45] dodocrypto_: what about it [15:45] my wifi sometime is not working but connected [15:45] just like no packet in and out [15:45] dmesg won't help [15:46] probably dns settings [15:46] if you log in to your router, does it say your connection is working? [15:46] i try too [15:46] ping 192.168.100.1 sometime not working [15:46] wifi on your computer, that really only means it can find your wireless router, it doesn't mean the router is connected to the internet [15:46] i know [15:46] ok [15:47] aww i don't know what happen to this eee pc [15:47] is an old one [15:47] so sometimes you can't ping your router? [15:47] yeah [15:47] how long does that last? [15:47] but even reconnecting too [15:47] it won't stop until you reconnect [15:47] and reconnect again [15:48] until the ping is working [15:48] and did it used to work better with some older system/configuration/OS? [15:48] Hey! I'm fairly new to ubuntu, and I can't get my internal hard drive to work. I mounted it as read-write, and in properties it shows that. Also, i ran chmod 777 on the entire drive, and it seems that I have read-write except whenever I try to make a file either using mkdir or through the gui, it gives me an error: "no such file or directory". [15:49] i don't have problem with other pc though [15:49] only this eee pc [15:49] running lubuntu [15:49] dodocrypto_: both laptops? [15:49] nope only this one [15:49] dodocrypto_: the other is a desktop? [15:50] laptop [15:50] okay so both computers are laptops [15:50] yeah [15:50] dodocrypto_: you use them wirelessly from the same place in the building? [15:50] yeah almost [15:51] you might try using the Eee much closer to the router for a little while and see if it improves [15:51] how do you know which wireless card do you have [15:51] lspci -v ? [15:51] that could just indicate a difference in signal reception between the two [15:51] lspci | grep -i net might say, yes [15:52] BCM4313 802.11bgn [15:52] is this broadcom [15:52] mmm, broadcom [15:52] yup [15:52] let me try to fine may be driver problem [15:53] i heard some exploit [15:53] always a possibility, especially with broadcom [15:53] driver problems, that is [15:56] yo [15:56] yoyo [15:56] welcome br3ad [15:57] are you good with linux filesystems by any chance? [15:57] we're pretty decent with them [15:58] ok so I can't figure out how to get read-write on my internal hdd. Like I've remounted it as rw, the properties shows I have permissions, I've run chmod 777, yet whenever I try to make a folder using the gui or mkdir, it just saying error: no such file or directory [15:58] also I can't unmount the drive its like stuck [15:58] br3ad you would need to give us more info. as in which fs, how did you mount [15:58] through the gui originally [15:59] then sudo mount -o remount,rw [15:59] seems like I just saw this msg in some channel... [15:59] i sent it earlier lol [15:59] here? [15:59] gui as in file manager, or gnome disk utility? br3ad there are many options [15:59] man it's early [15:59] yeah. file manager [15:59] like default [16:00] br3ad: what if you open a terminal, cd to the path, and run 'mkdir test' [16:00] br3ad filesystem? [16:00] mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test’: No such file or directory [16:01] br3ad: what does 'pwd' say? [16:01] media/username/Data [16:01] br3ad: what does 'file ../Data' say? [16:02] directory [16:02] mount | grep Data [16:02] Is this an ntfs filesystem? [16:02] i believe so i formatted it in windows previously [16:02] before the linux install [16:02] crucial info.. and what ubuntu version? [16:03] oh wait nvm [16:03] its fuse [16:03] also latest ubuntu [16:03] br3ad: what does mount | grep Data say? [16:04] Data type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2) [16:04] br3ad: are you a regular user or root? [16:05] regular [16:05] br3ad: try unmounting it, and as root mounting it with 'ntfs-3g /dev/whatever# path/to/an/empty/mount/point' [16:07] like for the empty mount point just put like dev/non existing mount? [16:08] sorry im like brand new to linux [16:08] I have two cloud machines with hard drives on both. What is a good and reliable way to mount one hard drive into another ? Preferably encrypted. [16:11] br3ad: just any empty directory [16:11] pymagic, perhaps sshfs ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [16:11] br3ad: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/testmount; sudo ntfs-3g /dev/whatever# /mnt/testmount [16:12] br3ad: you can get the /dev/whatever# from 'lsblk -f' [16:12] oerheks, is sshfs reliable enough? [16:12] I currently registered that my peek is not working anymore. kernel 5.4.0-40-generic the peek window is starting and the service running fine, but I cannot click the recording button cause its greyed out. Any idea what could happen? ffmpeg codec missing or something like that? [16:12] The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in anunsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernationor fast restarting.)Could not mount read-write, trying read-only [16:13] The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in anunsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernationor fast restarting.)Could not mount read-write, trying read-only [16:13] br3ad: there you go =) [16:13] oh shoot i didnt mean to send that twice, but thanks matsaman [16:13] pymagic, no doubt, make sure you keep it alive, see the last part [16:13] https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh [16:13] thats weird though because i overwrote windows with ubuntu [16:13] tons of howto's [16:13] br3ad: tldr: NTFS is a freaking nightmare pile of crap [16:13] true [16:14] br3ad: you could try ntfsfix /dev/whatever# [16:14] oh thanks [16:14] the only real NTFS fscking utils are available for Windows, and they also suck [16:15] haha i really appreciate the help though [16:15] i think ntfsfix will work [16:15] pymagic: sshfs is wonderful and great and secure by default, it's everything that's great [16:15] br3ad: it frequently does [16:23] Hey everybody, I have a server that fell over and am looking for a spot of help. Ubuntu 18.04, wasn't responding to ssh, but ping was working. Looked at desktop, hard frozen and would not respond. Rebooted, and post-Grub would only display a purpleish screen. This is with "quiet splash" removed from boot option. Any suggestions? [16:23] (I've been able to boot to the live USB image of Ubuntu 18.04, and have recovered all relevant files - just want to avoid having to reinstall from scratch.) [16:26] inthane: can you add "nomodeset" where "quiet splash" was, and reboot? [16:28] @pavlos - I'll try that, give me five. [16:36] when running peek with sudo, it works but not as expected with my normal user [16:37] why run peek as root? [16:37] how's it not run as expected as your normal user? [16:38] the debug output is completly same, but I cannot push the button to record or the x to close the window [16:39] no command is working, when not using sudo [16:39] strange, cause iam using peek for more then 10 years and never needed sudo. I also checked that my homedirectory is completly owned by myself [16:39] @pavlos - Booted to grub, hit e with the default boot option selected, replaced "quiet splash" with "nomodeset" and still got the blank screen. [16:40] karstenk, how did you install peek? stable ppa? [16:40] Hello, im having problems with my touchpad(it doesnt move the mouse cursor, but i can scroll and click with both buttons) [16:41] inthane: last time you got purple screen, now you got blank screen? [16:41] I tryed from source and compiled with ninja, I installed from ppa and I also installed a old 1.3 version from deb package, that seems more depending by last kernel updates [16:41] I was looking for some hint of a driver problem or an option to lock/unlock the mouse scroll [16:41] https://code.launchpad.net/~peek-developers/+archive/ubuntu/stable [16:41] My mouse works well, and my pc detects the touchpad [16:41] pavlos: Both times I got a blank purple screen. Hitting the esc key doesn't toggle it either. [16:42] inthane: I think there is a issue with the video driver [16:43] pavlos: This is integrated video, no NVidia/AMD special driver installed, just the default of whatever ubuntu stuck in there in the first place.
