| hexen_16 | Hello, I have a question. What is the best IDE on Ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| Bashing-om | !best | hexen_16 | 00:28 |
| OerHeks | !ide | 00:28 |
| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 00:28 |
| OerHeks | https://www.ubuntupit.com/best-linux-code-editor-top-10-reviewed-compared/ .. there is no single best, depends on your coding i guess | 00:28 |
| hexen_16 | I see. I'll check out that link. I need a good one for web development though. Currently using bluefish. | 00:34 |
| gambl0re | hi everyone my computer is extremely almost to the point where its basically frozen | 00:47 |
| gambl0re | how do i close firefox? my cursor barely moves | 00:47 |
| traekili | gambl0re, if you have a terminal open, pkill firefox | 00:48 |
| gambl0re | no i dont. also my keyboard is unresponsive | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | !sysrq | gambl0re | 00:50 |
| ubottu | gambl0re: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 00:50 |
| gambl0re | tomreyn, tried that. it did nothing | 00:50 |
| gambl0re | is that it? no more solutions? | 00:51 |
| === JonathanS is now known as LOMLON | ||
| tomreyn | then you're options right now are waiting until things settle down (which, worst case, *may* never happen) or to power cycle, potentially loossing data. | 00:51 |
| OerHeks | ctrl alt f1, login, logout, and back to F6 sometimes helps gaining command again, and you should be able to kill firefox | 00:52 |
| gambl0re | OerHeks, keyboard is not responding to any keyboard commands | 00:53 |
| OerHeks | then hold power button down, and reboot | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | once you recovered control you should review your system configuration, make sure your swap setup makes sense the way it is, possibly find out what happened there (review logs). | 00:53 |
| OerHeks | 1 2 3 4 5 sec and it is off | 00:54 |

| gambl0re | will this potentially fuck up my computer if i force shut down | 00:54 |
| OerHeks | oke, then wait | 00:55 |
| gambl0re | that wasnt my question | 00:55 |
| gambl0re | will this potentially fuck up my computer if i force shut down | 00:55 |
| OerHeks | no guarantee, but filesystem issues are fixable | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | you'll potentially loose data, you will have to have the file systems checked, but on most systems this happens automatically | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | and data loss wont be much, if any | 00:57 |
| gambl0re | ok thanks guys | 00:57 |
| bpords | if its working slowly | 00:57 |
| bpords | then you might be able to close firefox | 00:57 |
| gambl0re | but it wont corrupt my sdd right? | 00:57 |
| bpords | i had that happen | 00:57 |
| bpords | many times | 00:57 |
| bpords | where only mouse responds and its super slow | 00:57 |
| tomreyn | not physically, no | 00:57 |
| bpords | and i was able to close apps and stuff | 00:57 |
| gambl0re | sometimes my sdd boots into infrms after a force shutdown | 00:57 |
| bpords | and go back to normal | 00:57 |
| bpords | it just takes forever to get the mouse in the right place sometimes | 00:57 |
| bpords | so you might want to just keep trying that way | 00:57 |
| bpords | it probably happened because firefox took too much RAM | 00:58 |
| bpords | make swap partition larger or buy more ram | 00:58 |
| tomreyn | "infrms"? | 00:58 |
| gambl0re | if any of you do programming, sometimes when you run an infinite loop, it slows your computer down. this is whats happening.. haha | 00:58 |
| traekili | so there's no condition in the loop to stop it except shutdown pc? lol | 00:59 |
| gambl0re | i guess no programmers in here. anyways | 00:59 |
| gambl0re | im just gonna force shutdown. thanks | 00:59 |

| laptop | hello I am trying to encrypt my hd and it indicates crypt | 01:27 |
| laptop | benchmark twofish-cbc 128b 64.4 MiB/s 70.9 MiB/s | 01:28 |
| laptop | is this fast? | 01:28 |
| OerHeks | it is not kb, so yes | 01:28 |
| laptop | okay so it is fast enough | 01:29 |
| laptop | sadly | 01:29 |
| laptop | I cannot encrypt the hd postfact | 01:29 |
| josefig | laptop, take into consideration in addition the RPM from your HDD. | 01:29 |
| laptop | 5400 this does not do that I am afriad | 01:29 |
| fleabeard | does hard disk encryption still chew threw disks like in the old PGP days? Especially considering my drives are SSD, lol | 01:30 |
| laptop | luks does not do twofish cbc correct? | 01:30 |
| OerHeks | one sets encryption during creating user indeed | 01:30 |
| bpords | its worth noting that these days RPM doesnt mean anything for HDD performance | 01:30 |
| OerHeks | but now it is running, do not hit crtl + c | 01:30 |
| laptop | I have a fijitsu 40 gb | 01:30 |
| laptop | if I encrypt the hd will it be really slow | 01:32 |
| OerHeks | well, it won't be faster | 01:32 |
| laptop | lol true | 01:32 |
| bpords | because nearly all HDDs nowadays are in the 5400-7200 RPM range, but two HDDs with the same RPM can have different performance | 01:32 |
| OerHeks | that encryption is what i am interesting in | 01:32 |
| laptop | ok but how to test without encrypting first | 01:33 |
| bpords | so benchmarking the read/write speed of the HDD is a better idea than looking at the RPM | 01:33 |
| laptop | how | 01:35 |
| newdimension | I'm trying to kill firefox using htop I select the process > press k > press 9 (for SIGKILL) > press enter. But nothing is happening | 01:38 |
| wintersnow | hi | 01:40 |
| OerHeks | newdimension, firefox runs 2 processes: pkill firefox # enter | 01:44 |
| newdimension | OerHeks: I can kill it using kill #PID or killall firefox. I'm just curious as to why I cant kill it using htop. What I did is search for all firefox processes and press space to select them. Then sent the kill signal, nothing happened | 01:45 |
| OerHeks | try kill -9 PID | 01:47 |
| newdimension | Also, another more important question. I'm on 18.04.02 running on virtualbox (latest version). I keep running out of memory even though I've allocated 7gb. I only run (1) firefox (2) Pycharm (3) hexchat. I keep seeing xorg using up 43% | 01:48 |
| newdimension | right now after a fresh restart I'm at 2.71GB. After a while it's going to climb to 6gb :/ | 01:48 |
| newdimension | I'm not sure how to troubleshoot | 01:48 |
| OerHeks | more important than killing firefox? | 01:49 |
| newdimension | haha yes, I find out I can't kill firefox using htop because I kept running out of memory. | 01:49 |
| newdimension | *found | 01:49 |
| fleabeard | ok, got a real humdinger of a dumb question for you guys. Is it possible to take an 80gb hdd (usb) and put all the different ubuntu distros on it, have it boot into that hdd and you can select which of the distros to either run a livecd session or install from? Does that make sense? | 01:51 |
| fleabeard | basically have multiple livecd distros all on one external usb hdd | 01:52 |
| tomreyn | wouldn't this be a lot more convenient in a VM? | 01:52 |
| newdimension | fleabeard: Possible yes, makes sense no. Like tomreyn suggested use a VM and connect a sharefolder to it. That way you can have the same data in all distros | 01:53 |
| newdimension | *shared folder | 01:53 |
| newdimension | In temrs of how to do what you want, you'd install all distros on the same HDD and configure grub's boot menu | 01:54 |
| OerHeks | all you need is a bootable mini iso, for all desktops | 01:54 |
| OerHeks | & internet | 01:54 |
| fleabeard | newdimension, so I would have to actually install each os individually (like full install?) or can I just have there livecd functionality available from a grub menu? | 01:56 |
| newdimension | I meant full install, now that I re-read your question I realize that you probably find something to make a live CD with options. I don't know how to do that | 01:58 |
| fleabeard | reason I ask is I have a lot of pc's in my house and a lot of my family are open to running linux, but there are so many flavors of ubuntu I'd rather not have to fool with them individually and having all the ubuntu distros on one external would make my life easy | 01:59 |
| dorian | hey, wondering if something in 18.04 has changed with respect to sockets in /tmp | 02:00 |

| krytarik | eraserpencil1: No, that's the expected outcome. | 03:11 |
| eraserpencil1 | to facilitate discussion, what do you call the page that appears after pressing 'e' at oot | 03:12 |

| eraserpencil1 | grub terminal? | 03:13 |
| krytarik | Nope. Boot editor perhaps. | 03:13 |
| eraserpencil1 | okay. | 03:13 |

| R13ose | I can't zip files in file manager, and says: unable to run the command specified. the zip does not exist. How do I fix this? | 03:21 |
| Bashing-om | eraserpencil1: The grub command line should be as - "acpi_osi=Windows 2015" quiet splash" - . In the grub file one must escape that space. | 03:21 |

| eraserpencil1 | Bashing-om: are we talking in /etc/default/grub or in the boot editor | 03:29 |
| R13ose | I think I figured that out -q | 03:29 |
| eraserpencil1 | R13ose: sorry, I was reading the manual for zip. I think you need "--system-hidden" flag | 03:30 |
| eraserpencil1 | but if you got it, then good | 03:31 |
| R13ose | Oh okay | 03:31 |
| Bashing-om | eraserpencil1: ^^ is for the kernel boot line in the boot editor. in the /etc/default/grub file escape the space between the quotes: In /etc/default/grub you'll need to *escape* them thus: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=... \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\" because the kernel command line needs quotes around the entire parameter due to the space in the name. | 03:36 |
| krytarik | eraserpencil1: Since by adding the escape characters in the actual boot parameters, you are effectively crippling the "Windows 2015" bit, I wonder though if you really need the parameter at all. | 03:41 |
| eraserpencil1 | krytarik: i realised it crippes the WIndows 2015 bit.... and yea i have fought with the laptop for a long time to even install ubuntu on this laptop. Windows 2015 is needed | 03:45 |
| eraserpencil1 | Bashing-om: I just realised you meant acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\" | 03:46 |

| fleabeard | hey guys, I've got a folder with a ton of files in it that follow a naming convention of 'blah blah - 01-01-1990.doc'. When I view this folder in my File Manager, it's not sorting them from oldest to newest obviously because of the text preceding the date in the filename. Is there a way I can list these files newest to oldest in a termainl perhaps? With some sort of goofy linux terminal switch magic? | 04:12 |
| fleabeard | s/termainl/terminal | 04:13 |

| fleabeard | sorry if I was unclear | 04:17 |

| de-facto | ls -1 | tac | sort -n | tac | 04:19 |
| fleabeard | eraserpencil1, yes, but the date I'm trying to sort by isn't a parameter like modified/creation date. It's listed in the filename itself. | 04:19 |
| de-facto | eraswroencil1 | 04:20 |
| fleabeard | just at the end of the filename with text that proceeds it, so 'some file 01-01-1990.doc' and 'some file2 01-02-1990.doc' etc. | 04:20 |

| R13ose | Yes but can I do -qr? | 04:21 |
| R13ose | I did -qr before a d seems to not have gotten all files and directories zipped up. | 04:24 |
| de-facto | fleabeard, did you try something like "ls -1 | rev | sort -n | rev" ? | 04:24 |
| R13ose | GUI is better but not working. | 04:24 |
| fleabeard | de-facto, that appears to be doing some sort of sort on either created/modified date, yeah? | 04:25 |
| de-facto | it lists one file per line "ls -1" note its number one, then it reverses that string "rev" and sorts them numerically "sort -n" then reverse the strings again back to orig | 04:26 |
| eraserpencil1 | R13ose: I tried and it works | 04:26 |

| Mystified1234 | how to enable | 04:29 |
| fleabeard | oh wait, that's a 1 | 04:29 |
| fleabeard | not an l | 04:29 |
| de-facto | fleabeard, if i was you i would copy a small representative portion of your files in a directory to experiment with scripting so its fast and without risk | 04:30 |
| de-facto | use the power of bash, sed, grep ... | 04:30 |
| fleabeard | yeah, I'm still new to linux so I've got a lot to learn lol | 04:31 |
| de-facto | its good investment of time, it will make you much more powerfull/faster with computers :) | 04:31 |
| fleabeard | I'll do as you suggested with a small copy to represent the files and play around some more. | 04:32 |
| de-facto | there is a lot on stackoverflow you can find with google, especially scripting, pattern matching, bash, sed, grep, awk | 04:36 |
| Mystified1234 | when right clicking on myRight handed mouse function, nothing pops, in a browser i Can drag a link into the address bar. | 04:36 |
| de-facto | its very nice to learn and many ppl already find examples which you can adopt and tweak to your needs | 04:36 |
| fleabeard | de-facto, here's a small example of the files and how the dates are in the end of the filename > http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tkGtpp4FSs/ | 04:37 |
| Mystified1234 | works ok in terminal..' | 04:37 |
| Mystified1234 | not raelly anywhere else | 04:37 |
| de-facto | fleabeard, so that should work with the sample i gave you i guess, but if its not consitently named you might want to make a list from "ls -1" with sed e.g. "ls -1 | sed '/mach your pattern/build entries with your maches/' | sort -n | 04:41 |
| de-facto | then you have a sorted list with first colum of your matched dates and second colum of the full file names sorted and you can pull the full file names out of the second column | 04:42 |
| de-facto | ah yeah you have to put the year first, then the month then the day | 04:43 |
| fleabeard | idk man, I think I may be in over my head with this one lol | 04:46 |
| fleabeard | here is how I was hoping to have them list btw > https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/DfKWWkcd3C/ | 04:49 |
| fleabeard | oldest to newest contingent of the date listed at the end of the filename | 04:49 |
| de-facto | fleabeard, something like this maybe? echo "Nightmare LT - 09-14-1935" | sed 's/\(.*\)\([0-9]\+\)-\([0-9]\+\)-\([0-9]\+\)$/\4-\3-\2\t\1\2-\3-\4/' | sort -n | cut -d"$(printf '\t')" -f2 | 04:52 |
| fleabeard | let me give that a try | 04:52 |
| de-facto | its just quickly hacked together with sed | 04:52 |
| de-facto | so you would ls -1 | | sed 's/\(.*\)\([0-9]\+\)-\([0-9]\+\)-\([0-9]\+\)$/\4-\3-\2\t\1\2-\3-\4/' | sort -n | cut -d"$(printf '\t')" -f2 | 04:53 |
| fleabeard | on that last one there I got an error> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|' | 04:54 |
| de-facto | that matches the date at the end and constructs a list with year-month-day<tab><original name> to sort it and then uses just the second column "cut ..." to get the orig filename | 04:54 |
| de-facto | oh yeah there are two pipes | 04:54 |
| fleabeard | gawd, my fam gonna think I'm sort of hacker with all this s/\(.*\) stuffs lol | 04:55 |
| de-facto | ls -1 | sed 's/\(.*\)\([0-9]\+\)-\([0-9]\+\)-\([0-9]\+\)$/\4-\3-\2\t\1\2-\3-\4/' | sort -n | cut -d"$(printf '\t')" -f2 | 04:55 |
| de-facto | its a regular expression | 04:55 |
| fleabeard | hey that worked! | 04:55 |
| de-facto | glad to hear :) | 04:55 |
| fleabeard | let me give that a try on the server to see if it sorts them too! | 04:56 |
| de-facto | no guarentee though, its just quickly hacked together, so you should be careful with that | 04:56 |
| fleabeard | dang, didn't work that well on the server though, hmm | 04:57 |
| de-facto | you can play with https://regex101.com/ if you like to tweak the regexp | 04:58 |
| fleabeard | oh that's pretty cool, I'll give that a try too | 04:58 |

| krytarik | What do you mean exactly?.. >_> | 06:39 |
| anon19 | sources.list? | 06:39 |
| DarkByD3sign | I'm no expert but the issue is when he is updating and trying to install things and he is getting the hash error, could he update his list of sources so it perhaps looks at more updated list or something. | 06:40 |
| DarkByD3sign | Anon19 where did you download this copy of Ubuntu, the website? | 06:40 |
| anon19 | DarkByD3sign: yes from the website | 06:40 |

| drown | hello all | 08:15 |
| drown | need some help with kind of embarassing issue, I have a R-PI running Ubuntu Core, and I am locked out from SSH publickey,password | 08:16 |
| drown | If someone can point me in the right direction I'm not new to bash, just not very versed in SSH keypairs | 08:18 |
| CarlFK | drown: can you login with a password? | 08:18 |
| drown | I always do, but my password isn't working. | 08:18 |
| drown | context: I had ESXI host running Ubuntu VM that I typically SSH from | 08:18 |
| drown | into the Pi, but the ESXI host hardware has failed | 08:19 |
| drown | The Pi is local an I get the display information from HDMI | 08:19 |
| drown | I'm fairly sure my id-rsa.pub is correct as it's the one that is linked to my SSO | 08:20 |
| drown | However, the passwords that I always use are not working. | 08:20 |
| drown | I encountered this issue from this machine before, and simply SSH hopped into the VM | 08:21 |
| ducasse | drown: post the output of 'ssh -vv user@host' | 08:22 |
| CarlFK | drown: is your public key (the contents of id-rsa.pub) on the pi? | 08:22 |
| drown | the public key is on this machine. | 08:22 |
| drown | The Pi is the host. | 08:22 |

| mobile_c | aww ubuntu-unregistered doesnt exist anymore o.o | 08:37 |

| drown | ducasse: Hmm... Okay so the key that I have in id-rsa.pub is the only key i have loaded to my Ubuntu SSO, specifically for the Raspberry Pi | 08:38 |
| satyamjha112 | ubottu: thanks | 08:38 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 08:38 |
| EoflaOE | Today when I open my XFCE whisker menu on Xubuntu, it doesn't show categories, only Favorites, Recently used, and All. I know the search function, but I need to use categories to easily find an app | 08:39 |
| ducasse | drown: does ubuntu core retreive the key from the sso service? you haven't added it to authorized_keys? | 08:39 |
| ducasse | EoflaOE: that's probably xfce specific enough to be worth asking in #xubuntu | 08:40 |
| drown | ducasse: The way it works is it asks you for your SSO credentials upon first configuration, via direct input to the Pi | 08:41 |
| drown | So it sort of automates that proccess | 08:42 |
| drown | But then it also seems to prevent you from logging in directly from the Pi and refers you to use SSH | 08:42 |
| ducasse | drown: ok. i'd verify it's actually in authorized_keys, because it doesn't look like it is | 08:43 |
| drown | On this machine, I simply created id-rsa.pub via nano and pasted the key in | 08:43 |
| drown | I'm guessing that's not the process | 08:44 |
| ducasse | you do have the private key as well, right? | 08:44 |
| drown | ducasse: No, it seems like I do not.. | 08:44 |
| ducasse | you should have id_rsa and id_rsa.pub, the first being the private key portion | 08:45 |
| Mystified1234 | my ubuntu install dows not allow within ubuntu apps or browsers to right click. Right click works in terminal | 08:45 |
| drown | ducasse: oh you know what, I do have the private key I beleibe | 08:45 |
| drown | because the contents are different | 08:45 |
| Mystified1234 | I'm not much of a techies.. not sure how to resolve this | 08:45 |
| Mystified1234 | Inbrowsers I can drag into address bar with right click | 08:46 |
| EoflaOE | ducasse: Sorry for late response but thanks | 08:46 |
| Mystified1234 | Btw I have a touch screen as well as keyboard | 08:47 |
| drown | okay | 08:47 |
| ducasse | EoflaOE: i've had responses take 12+ hours, so that was nothing :) | 08:47 |
| drown | ducasse: so I have the priavte key, but not on this machine. | 08:47 |
| ducasse | drown: ah, you'll need that | 08:47 |
| ducasse | that's what you authenticate with | 08:48 |
| EoflaOE | ducasse: OK. I just have one question. Will the librsvg be updated so it no longer works on non-SSE2 processors? | 08:48 |
| drown | ducasse: so here's the issue, i coppied the VM from the ESXI host but it's configuration is preventinti me from having networking | 08:48 |
| ducasse | EoflaOE: at some point it might, the kind people in #ubuntu-devel can probably better answer that | 08:49 |
| drown | ducasse: just realized, I have an Arch install on a machine that's not working, i can mount that drive and copy the key from there | 08:49 |
| EoflaOE | ducasse: I got it. Thanks. | 08:50 |
| drown | ducasse: so If I get the key and place it into .ssh will this most likely be the ned of the issue | 08:50 |
| ducasse | drown: afaict | 08:51 |
| ducasse | given that it's the right key, of course :) | 08:51 |
| EoflaOE | I have to go. See you later. | 08:52 |
| drown | ducasse: okay, you've been more help than you know. At least I have a course now. | 08:52 |
| drown | ducasse: much appreciation | 08:53 |
| ducasse | drown: just come back if it doesn't solve it, and we'll keep digging | 08:53 |
| drown | ducasse: thanks again. | 08:54 |

| jonh_ | hello | 09:21 |
| foolhardi_ | Does anyone know how to find programs in /usr that haven't been installed by apt? | 09:26 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: if you know the package or app name and it is there within PATH than you can use whereis command . dpkg search command also helpful .. it depends how you have installed the app | 09:29 |
| foolhardi_ | that is the inverse of my question | 09:30 |
| foolhardi_ | to simplify the question, i only install things through apt | 09:31 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: you have to mention or know which way the package was installed | 09:31 |
| foolhardi_ | i'm more or less concerned there's crud that's left behind that the package manager doesn't know about | 09:31 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: read more about DPKG search command to find installed app details | 09:32 |
| foolhardi_ | ok, thanks | 09:32 |
| === catalase is now known as Guest49202 | ||
| EriC^^ | foolhardi_: you could do a find for files that dont have any proper return for "dpkg -S filename" | 09:33 |
| foolhardi_ | thanks eric, that's more helpful, i'll give that idea a try | 09:34 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: ubuntu uses flatpak , snap etc apart from apt , dpkg etc . Some power users do install packages manually or compiling source codes .. so you may need to read Dpkg , apt and all other available options that used to install or build packages | 09:34 |
| foolhardi_ | that's fine, snap and apt are the only ones installed by default | 09:35 |
| EriC^^ | foolhardi_: find /usr/bin -type f | while IFS='' read -r i; do dpkg -S "$i"; done | 09:35 |
| foolhardi_ | awesome Eric, very helpful | 09:36 |
| EriC^^ | with | grep "no path matching" at the end for easier reading | 09:36 |
| EriC^^ | foolhardi_: no problem | 09:36 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: some packages may get installed in your distribution out of the PATH than you may need to read more about other facts | 09:36 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: example if i do use BREW manager to install packages without configuring the PATH than system search or find feature may not be able to find the packages that installed in your system | 09:38 |
| foolhardi_ | nisankhindia, sure. basically i once compiled and installed a few projects and i'm hunting for them now since i can't remember their names | 09:38 |
| === ikanobori_ is now known as ikanobori | ||
| foolhardi_ | ok but brew isn't default | 09:39 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: that was just an example | 09:39 |
| foolhardi_ | right | 09:39 |
| foolhardi_ | thankfully linux has no need for brew | 09:39 |
| nisankhindia | foolhardi_: you can use BREW package manager in some cases , if you want OSx apps that not available in linux repository or packages . | 09:41 |
| foolhardi_ | i see | 09:41 |
| nisankhindia | Anyways ... if you can have a look at logs that keeps all your manually compiled packages that it can help you | 09:42 |
| ZaZaQR | ok | 09:42 |
| maetthew | I'm a little confused about AppImages. Where should I store ("install") apps that are distributed as AppImages? Downloads folder seems like a dumb idea. Should I keep them in my user folder or somewhere else? | 09:53 |
| nisankhindia | maetthew: create a folder as appimages inside home directory or inside download folder , which will help you to remember | 09:54 |
| maetthew | k i guess ill do that thanks | 09:55 |

| kab0m | i am trying to get a vm(Ubuntu 18.04) working that shares a vpn connection (openvpn + dnsmasq) to other clients in the network...the problem is that i get dns leaks because dnsmasq not only uses the dns-entries provided by the vpn-tunnel but also the ones that are defined before the vpn-connection is established. can someone help here please? | 10:14 |

| solsTiCe | hi. so I installed ubuntu a long time ago because I couldn't bare gnome shell or wanted to switch back to kde. I wanted unity. now that unity is gone and that gnome shell is a little better, there is nothing left to old me back in ubuntu ? isn't it ? so do I go back to archlinux or not ? | 13:13 |
| jeremyb | solsTiCe: I thought Unity could still be installed from a third party | 13:15 |
| solsTiCe | never mind, I am fine with the current state of gnome shell. I even use wayland | 13:16 |
| lotuspsychje | jeremyb solsTiCe unity is still in the official repos | 13:16 |
| jeremyb | ubuntu-unity-desktop | 13:16 |
| solsTiCe | well unity is dead. it's still there but no development on it if I am right | 13:17 |
| leftyfb | solsTiCe: your question is not a support question and is inappropriate here | 13:20 |

| eraserpencil1 | hi, is there an article on troubleshooting dmesg error messages and knowing what kernel parameters to put in? | 13:21 |

| urxtnw | when i do lsblk* | 13:31 |
| leftyfb | urxtnw: because they are bind mounts for the individual snaps. That's how snaps work | 13:32 |
| urxtnw | what is this snaps thing, is it a new package manager? | 13:33 |
| leftyfb | yes | 13:33 |

| brunt__ | how to ping someone? | 13:39 |
| eraserpencil1 | ping <ip address> | 13:40 |
| wishie | so ive recently installed Ubuntu 16.04.5 (because its an officially supported version for UniFi Video) on a Dell Optiplex, with 2 x 3TB hard disks striped | 13:40 |
| eraserpencil1 | like ping google.com | 13:40 |
| wishie | but according to ubuntu, there is only 1.5T of space | 13:40 |
| wishie | if i look at dmesg output, both sda and sdb are 3TB disks | 13:40 |
| tomreyn | wishie: how did you do the raid setup? is this hardware or software raid? | 13:41 |
| rdh | brunt__, so use python os module to run local command ping ? | 13:41 |
| wishie | tomreyn: hardware. intel. | 13:41 |
| tomreyn | wishie: do you know the term "fakeraid"? | 13:41 |
| wishie | well, i guess its 'software' (via BIOS) | 13:42 |
| tomreyn | !fakeraid | wishie | 13:42 |
| ubottu | wishie: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 13:42 |
| tomreyn | wishie: yes, i'd recommend OS managed software raid over mainboard firmware managed software raid | 13:42 |
| wishie | the machine is all configured now though | 13:43 |
| tomreyn | wishie: the only reason to use intel fakeraid would maybe be that it's supported on multiple OS, including linux. | 13:43 |
| wishie | so there is no way to get proper space, without starting over? | 13:44 |
| tomreyn | so if you have a multi boot setup you might want to use it. | 13:44 |
| wishie | i believe its 'striping' | 13:44 |
| wishie | i just dont know why its reporting 1.5T instead of ~6TB | 13:44 |
| Drakeson | What is the easiest way to block or honeypot a set of hosts (identified by name, not ip) in a box? /etc/hosts? local dnsmasq? iptables? | 13:45 |
| tomreyn | wishie: i'm not really into using intel's fake raid, but you can read up on how it's supported by mdadm on linux. | 13:45 |
| Drakeson | Clarification: by easy I don't mean "point and click". I mean minimal[ish] config. | 13:45 |
| wishie | hmm | 13:46 |
| wishie | i wonder if its because its a UEFI install | 13:46 |
| eraserpencil1 | tomreyn, I finally got my Ubuntu installation up and running...more or less the way I expect it to. | 13:49 |
| tomreyn | wishie: can you post the url returned by: cat /proc/mdstat | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:50 |
| wishie | ive just left the location of the machine sadly | 13:50 |
| wishie | i wont be back there for 12-14hrs | 13:50 |
| tomreyn | eraserpencil1: i'm afraid i forgot about all the details of the issue you needed to solve there. | 13:50 |
| eraserpencil1 | tomreyn: just know im appreciative of the help you gave last few times | 13:51 |
| tomreyn | wishiei see. well, you can review the output of "cat /proc/mdstat" yourself later, or use the above command to post it online and share it here | 13:51 |
| tomreyn | eraserpencil1: okay :) you're welcome! | 13:52 |
| wishie | i think i can export my unifi video configuration | 13:52 |
| wishie | if so, i might wipe the machine and start again | 13:52 |
| wishie | its just a 16.04 install with unifi-video added, really | 13:52 |
| eraserpencil1 | tomreyn: do you know of any resources I can read about kernel boot parameters and what they mean | 13:52 |
| tomreyn | eraserpencil1: sure, there's documentation on this on kernel.org | 13:53 |
| tomreyn | eraserpencil1: firefox https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v$(uname -r | cut -d. -f1,2)/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html | 13:55 |
| eraserpencil1 | tomreyn: I still have some error messages in my dmesg and I dont have suspend or sleep. Is the correct steps solving it just finding the right parameter? | 13:56 |
| tomreyn | eraserpencil1: the correct way solving it is buying hardware where the producer cares about making it standard compliant and linux compatible. | 13:58 |
| eraserpencil1 | :) | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | eraserpencil1: in absence of this, finding the right kernel options to work around firmware bugs is an approach you may have to take. | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | (there is also the situation where hardware is new and no sufficient driver support is in the version of linux you are running, yet) | 13:59 |
| wishie | ahh the old "buy hardware from manufacturers that support linux" chestnut | 13:59 |
| wishie | been hearing that for many a decade | 14:00 |
| tomreyn | as long as they don'T just focus on windows, it'll be fine | 14:00 |
| eraserpencil1 | yea... i got an alienware. Seeing how it's basically Dell, and having loved the XPS, i thought, why not.... | 14:00 |
| eraserpencil1 | regretted getting it as the first computer i ever bought | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | but please note we only do support here, no discussions, we have separate channels for this | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | !discuss | 14:01 |
| ubottu | Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! | 14:01 |
| eraserpencil1 | haha ok | 14:02 |
| eraserpencil1 | tomreyn: am I suppose to debug till I see no more error messages in dmesg? | 14:05 |
| luke-jr | Is there a trick to get Ubuntu to boot in qemu these days? | 14:07 |
| luke-jr | graphics at the CD bootloader are scrambled, and the kernel panics immediately… :/ | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | eraserpencil1: no. if something doesn't seem to work right that you depend on / are missing, you shoould try to find a workaround / fix. | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | luke-jr: note that especially "gaming laptops" not rarely have unusual hardware and firmware customizations which are then tested (and supported, by drivers, software / firmware modifications) against exactly one operating system, which happens to not be linux. | 14:16 |
| luke-jr | tomreyn: I don't see what this has to do with qemu :x | 14:16 |
| tomreyn | luke-jr: nothing, and i meant to address eraserpencil1 there | 14:17 |

| yoot | nope 17 | 15:59 |

| tomreyn | yoot: just doesnload 18.04.2 - it was just released, and is an LTS release, so you got long term support, too. | 16:03 |
| yoot | jeremyb: Don't know. What is the command to find it out? | 16:04 |

| jeremyb | I know and certain wifi cards can't access 2.4 GHz channels higher than 11 | 16:05 |
| leftyfb | jeremyb: so there's no point in troubleshooting with yoot at the moment. Not until they install a supported version. | 16:06 |
| blackflow | yoot: the solution to your problem is bugfixed and upgraded stack in supported Ubuntu 18.04 or newer. | 16:07 |
| yoot | it's broadcom bcm4313 | 16:08 |
| jeremyb | yoot, don't expect it to work on a 2.4 GHz channel higher than 11 | 16:09 |
| leftyfb | yoot: The fix it to install Ubuntu 18.04 | 16:09 |
| yoot | Okay... I'll install 18.04 | 16:09 |
| yoot | 18.04 or 18.10 Doesn't matter? | 16:10 |
| leftyfb | yoot: I would go with 18.04 since it's supported for 10 years | 16:10 |

| blackflow | leftyfb: no, wait, it was the interview with Shuttleworth | 16:15 |

| Mcl0vin | howdy folks | 16:28 |
| kab0m | i have tried but i have problems with dns leaks | 16:28 |
| leftyfb | kab0m: you probably want #ubuntu-server | 16:28 |
| kab0m | leftyfb: i allready tried with ubuntu-server ;) but i have problems get dnsmasq with openvpn running without dns-leaks | 16:29 |
| leftyfb | kab0m: /join #ubuntu-server | 16:29 |
| kab0m | leftyfb: thanks | 16:30 |
| Mcl0vin | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS here and i am having issues with my network , when i generate netplan no yaml gets created | 16:30 |
| leftyfb | kab0m: also, you should state exactly how far you have gone as far as settings things up and where you're having trouble. Not start with asking how to set it up since you've already done that and it would waste troubleshooting time and effort. | 16:31 |
| Mcl0vin | and i have to do ip route add default via x.x.x.x to be able to access the internet. otherwise no connection | 16:31 |

| kab0m | leftyfb: i wana start from scracth as im getting nowhere :( | 16:32 |
| ioria | Mcl0vin, if it's a fresh install, you should have a yaml file in /etc/netplan | 16:34 |
| Mcl0vin | ioria: there was and it was working ... but for some odd reason it quit working and when i look at my ifconfig i noticed wrong CIDR of /24 but my netowrk is /26 | 16:36 |
| Mcl0vin | ioria: and made sure that my yaml file reflected that /26 | 16:36 |
| Mcl0vin | where is the yaml file that get generated after netplan generate command is issued | 16:38 |
| jeremyb | Mcl0vin: /etc/netplan ? | 16:39 |
| ioria | Mcl0vin, you mean your netmask is 255.255.255.192 ? | 16:39 |
| Mcl0vin | jeremyb: its not there | 16:40 |
| ioria | Mcl0vin, /etc/systemd/network/ is empty ? | 16:40 |
| Mcl0vin | ioria: yes my old yaml was configerd with a /26 but when i do ifconfig a /24 was assigned to my ensXXX interface | 16:40 |
| Mcl0vin | ioria: standby checking ... | 16:41 |
| Mcl0vin | ioria: yes /etc/systemd/network/ is empty | 16:42 |
| ioria | Mcl0vin, set a yaml file in /etc/netplan and specify addresses: [xxx.xxx.x.xxx/26] ? | 16:43 |
| Mcl0vin | ioria: that is the $1,000,000 how do i do that. what is the use of sudo netplan generate if it doesn't generate sample file at least | 16:45 |
| ioria | Mcl0vin, personally, i have always edited manually that file (just don't use TAB) | 16:46 |
| LTCD | When I open Google Chrome at the top in yellow it says it no longer supports the OS I am using. How can I go about fixing this? I did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:47 |
| ioria | Mcl0vin, you mean you need a sample ? | 16:47 |
| LTCD | Weirdly Software Updater seems to detect a newer LTS. | 16:47 |

| ioria | Mcl0vin, paste ' ip a', it's better | 16:55 |
| Mcl0vin | netmask is 255.255.255.0 it should be x.x.x.192 | 16:55 |
| Mcl0vin | ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/D5cHvrQjZx/ | 16:55 |
| ioria | Mcl0vin, add dhcp6: no and reboot | 16:56 |

| tgm4883 | Using 18.04, is there any way to make the "program is not responding" dialog box either A) wait longer before showing up (as the program isn't "not responding) or B) disable it for certain applications all together? | 17:28 |
| sim642 | 18.04 openjdk-11 still ships openjdk 10 instead but from what I read it was supposed to be properly upgraded to openjdk 11 once out, which has been for many months now. What am I missing? | 17:29 |
| tgm4883 | sim642: no news on it recently it seems https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/+bug/1796027 | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1796027 in openjdk-lts (Ubuntu) "Update openjdk-11 to 11.0.2 -> Backport it from Ubuntu 18.10" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 17:32 |
| sim642 | Well yeah, found that report too but I'm really confused about why that's still the case | 17:33 |
| tgm4883 | sim642: no idea. Honestly this is a really bad precedence to set | 17:34 |
| sim642 | It's especially weird because it took less than a month since its release for openjdk 11 to be in 18.10 | 17:42 |
| OerHeks | is the bionic openjsk 10.x version backported? | 17:44 |
| tgm4883 | OerHeks: no. Version 10 shipped with 18.04 | 17:45 |
| OerHeks | oh, the header says 10, but the manifest says 11 .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/10.0.2+13-1ubuntu0.18.04.4 | 17:47 |
| OerHeks | that is why i think it is backported, not sure why it is still called 10 | 17:47 |
| tgm4883 | OerHeks: it's important to note that the package is named openjdk-11, while only including 10 with the express reasoning that version 11 would be backported with the same package name | 17:48 |
| ioria | tgm4883, might help ? https://askubuntu.com/questions/412917/how-to-increase-waiting-time-for-non-responding-programs | 18:12 |
| tgm4883 | ioria: needing to compile it, sad news. I guess it makes sense though | 18:15 |
| tgm4883 | I feel like it's happening quicker than 5 seconds, but maybe I need to time it | 18:16 |

| OerHeks | hmm 18.04.2 comes with 4.18 .. but i am still on 4.15, howto obtain the fresh kernel? | 18:17 |
| tgm4883 | OerHeks: you need to install HWE | 18:18 |
| OerHeks | i believe we will get that question more often | 18:18 |
| OerHeks | oh, HWE, oke .. but not for a fresh install, right? | 18:18 |
| tgm4883 | OerHeks: correct. A fresh 18.04.2 install already comes with it | 18:18 |
| tgm4883 | which also means, IIRC, that if you install 18.04.0 you're stay with the shipped kernel while if you install any of the point releases you'll always be upgraded to the latest HWE kernel | 18:19 |
| OerHeks | where is ubottu when one needs him :-( | 18:19 |
| OerHeks | tgm4883, yes, i remember the 16.04.2 situation | 18:20 |
| LtHummus | what happened with 16.04.2? | 18:22 |
| OerHeks | sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 # wopuld do the job | 18:22 |
| OerHeks | LtHummus, same situation, upgrading does not give the newer kernel tree, while fresh install does | 18:23 |
| OerHeks | reboot, brb | 18:23 |
| OerHeks | 4.18.0-15-generic #16~18.04.1 | 18:27 |
| Mcl0vin | why on my ubuntu 18.04 LTS after a reboot I have to do sudo netplan apply for my box to be able to access the internet ? | 18:29 |

| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: meaning? | 18:31 |
| tomreyn | 18.04 LTS desktop, standard server, alternative server? | 18:31 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: server | 18:31 |
| tomreyn | can you show some logs? | 18:32 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: which log | 18:32 |
| tomreyn | the full journal since reboot, if you don't mind | 18:32 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: can you show me how to do that please | 18:33 |
| tomreyn | otherwise just anything network related, or -p4 | 18:33 |
| tomreyn | "journalctl -b" returns the logs since latest boot | 18:33 |

| rappscallion | hi there, i have a lenovo ideapad 110s running xubuntu and get wifi problems now and then. networkmanager says i am connected, but i cant get any connection. i was opening firefox and was able to reach google, but one second later i could not reach any site with firefox, nor ping to any adress. iw station dump shows signal of -71 dBm, ifconfig shows that i am missing an ip adress. route shows an empty routing table. | 18:49 |
| tomreyn | if there is something you cannot share here then just explain why so, or redact the sensitive parts | 18:49 |
| tomreyn | Mcl0vin: ^ | 18:50 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: although i have nothing to worry about as i mention this is a testing virtual machine . i don't feel like showing the content of that system | 18:50 |
| Mcl0vin | which log are you trying to see | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | Mcl0vin: you have an almost empty journal, which is unusual. i wanted to see whether you have other current log files. | 18:51 |
| jeremyb | rappscallion: see https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2354328&p=13614520&#post13614520 | 18:52 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: in the journalctl -b you wanted to see boot option | 18:55 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: should i try just journalctl and see what it gives | 18:55 |
| === semeion is now known as mnemonic | ||
| tomreyn | Mcl0vin: you can do so, but it won't return more logs of the current boot, unless your system time or systemd-journal logging is broken. | 18:56 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jKGcMrH7HQ/ | 18:57 |
| rappscallion | jeremyb: thanks, i am reading right now. btw rebooting fixes the problem temporary | 18:58 |
| jeremyb | rappscallion: The first command might fix it then | 18:58 |
| tomreyn | Mcl0vin: right, as i said. it doesn't help finding out what your system is doing. you could tell whether you have logs with current time stamps in /var/log, and which, or post dmesg instead. | 18:59 |
| tomreyn | Mcl0vin: also, does your /etc/systemd/journald.conf contain any non comment(ed-out) lines? | 19:00 |
| rappscallion | jeremyb: the sed command changing powersave = 3 to powersave = 2 ? | 19:02 |
| Mcl0vin | tomreyn: all commented | 19:03 |
| jeremyb | rappscallion: That is the one, it prevents Network Manager from enabling wifi power management | 19:03 |

| tomreyn | pi0: as both pages i pointed oyu to try to explain, a "hidpi" (high dots-per-inch) screen is one which provides unusually high (pixel) resolutions. you probably have one like this, since you are reporting that application icons are very small - which is a commonly seen effect of this. | 19:31 |
| physpi | Oh yeah, I've also got some applications that don't scale even though I set scaling to 200% | 19:32 |
| physpi | I can get them to scale using command line arguements | 19:32 |
| physpi | but not sure how to do that by default | 19:32 |
| tomreyn | pi0: both of these pages discuss approaches (command you can execute in a terminal) to increase the display size of icons and widgets, so that working on this graphical user interface gets easier. | 19:32 |

| tomreyn | Mcl0vin: lines 53 and 67 state that the ethernet link was properly configured. now i don't know when you rebooted, so i can't guess whether this is the resul of you manually reconfiguring it or whether it was automatically configured at these times. | 19:36 |

| physpi | tomreyn: I use a U2718Q with my computer running ubuntu | 19:39 |
| physpi | 4K monitor lots of screen tearing whilst watching videos | 19:39 |
| um1b0zu | I used the ovpn file and connected to the wizard on the desktop, but when I check my IP address, my IP address doesn't change | 19:40 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: in case you use network manager to manage this interface, you could just configure it there. | 19:40 |
| um1b0zu | am I missing something here? How do I check if my vpn is working if my IP address doesn't change? | 19:40 |
| physpi | curl ipinfo.io/ip | 19:40 |
| physpi | is one way | 19:40 |
| physpi | Also want to check for dns leakaged | 19:40 |
| physpi | May also want to consider encrypting dns requests | 19:41 |
| physpi | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/9qSQDonE/IMG_3018.MP4 | 19:41 |
| um1b0zu | it appears I am. my ovpn file has 'script-security 2' | 19:41 |
| um1b0zu | is that what encrypts dns requests? | 19:41 |
| um1b0zu | I'm not a CIA agent here by the way | 19:42 |
| um1b0zu | I mostly wanted to set up a vpn for a gaming server I'm using | 19:42 |
| um1b0zu | but I just want to make sure I'm actually routing correctly. from what it looks like, I'm still using the same routing and my packets aren't actually coming from the vpn. | 19:42 |
| physpi | AMD processor, no idea what graphics are, something integrated? | 19:43 |

| physpi | Alright, I set the resolution to be used to 1920x1080 and the screen tearing stopped | 19:48 |
| physpi | Which is a temporary solution, but not horrible | 19:48 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: Thnak you, I'm trying it out! | 19:50 |
| tomreyn | physpi: if it comes back, you could try to see if it is limited to certain video codecs, or whether this also occurs with an ubuntu 18.04.2 live iso. | 19:50 |
| tomreyn | physpi: there are also some intel driver (modinfo -p i915) and X configuration options ("TearFree") which may be of use. | 19:51 |
| physpi | tomreyn: I tried looking for the config file, didn't find it | 19:51 |
| physpi | Also not sure how to set it | 19:51 |
| physpi | exactly, if it doesn't exist do I create one? | 19:51 |
| physpi | tomreyn: It only went away because I'm not using 4K | 19:52 |
| physpi | not sure about codecs | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | physpi: it is created in memory on the fly by X when it starts up, unless you created one in /etc/X11/ | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | physpi: yeon are server and workstation cpu's which don't usually need strong GPUs, and this one is probably from around 2013/2014, when intel GPU's weren't that advanced, yet (they are still low spec, but got better). so i'm not even sure this GPU can handle a high dpi display well. | 19:55 |
| physpi | Gotcha | 19:55 |
| physpi | I haven't had issues without video | 19:55 |
| tomreyn | *Xeon | 19:55 |
| physpi | Let me try flicking a window around | 19:55 |
| pi0 | tomreyn: shoot i tried different settings to enable scaling | 19:56 |
| pi0 | anyone here know how to enable in between whole number scaling within gnome | 19:56 |
| physpi | no screen tearing tossing a window around | 19:56 |
| tomreyn | there is also #gnome | 19:56 |
| physpi | Oh, good idea | 19:57 |
| physpi | Seems like turning off scaling might stop the tearing issue | 19:58 |
| physpi | Nope turning off scaling and it still has the issue | 19:59 |
| root_ | Good day. I seem to be having trouble with my PC. I'm using Linux Mint 18.04 with a Radeon graphics card. A few days ago I decided to make use of the graphics card by installing amdgpu. | 20:01 |
| root_ | After I rebooted my PC, I started getting an error about Cinammon being in software rendering mode, as it was running without video hardware acceleration. | 20:01 |
| root_ | It also says that there could be a problem with my drivers. | 20:02 |
| root_ | I think it is because of installing amdgpu-pro accidentally. | 20:02 |
| root_ | As in, the proprietary drivers. | 20:02 |
| jeremyb | root_: try on ircs://irc.spotchat.org/#linuxmint-help | 20:02 |
| root_ | Thanks :) | 20:02 |
| tomreyn | root_: that's because we don't support linux mint here, just ubuntu | 20:03 |
| tomreyn | good luck | 20:03 |
| gambl0re | i accidently xkill'ed my taskbar. how can i get it back? | 20:03 |
| root_ | Write mate-panel in the terminal. | 20:04 |
| gambl0re | what? | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | gambl0re: you could just logout and login again. it surely depend son your graphical desktop | 20:04 |
| gambl0re | im using kubuntu | 20:04 |
| gambl0re | logging out and logging back in will lose my changes? | 20:05 |
| tomreyn | gambl0re: root_ was assuming you ran the "mate" window manager, apparently, | 20:05 |
| gambl0re | and i cant event logout w/o the taskbar | 20:05 |
| tomreyn | gambl0re: won't loose your changes if you save them beforehand | 20:05 |
| gambl0re | how do i logout through the terminal | 20:06 |
| tomreyn | try alt-f4 while looking at the desktop | 20:06 |
| gambl0re | i already have the terminal opend up | 20:06 |
| tomreyn | or reboot: press ctrl-alt-f3, then ctrl-alt-del on the text login | 20:06 |
| qwebirc96446 | Hi, I've tried to create a boot usb and dvd many times now for use on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro. It just won't boot into the LTS build at all. It starts loading up the GUI, then goes back to command line where you see a bunch of stuff that it was doing to load up everything, then eventually stops doing anything other than making the screen blank off and on over and over again until I finally hard power it down. | 20:06 |
| tomreyn | gambl0re: "reboot" on a temrinal will also work. save changes first. | 20:06 |
| qwebirc96446 | The last USB drive I made did that same thing on the live mode where it wasn't actually installed. When I tried to do a straight install, it just does the bongo noise and freezes up after a little bit. | 20:07 |
| UbuntuUser | Sorry guys. I'm too hasty :| . I thought he meant the mate-panel. | 20:07 |
| qwebirc96446 | I have 10.10 installed just fine on a partition, but I would like something a little more recent to work with. Any ideas? | 20:08 |
| qwebirc96446 | tl;dr, I can't get 14.04 to run on my Macbook pro for some reason. | 20:09 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc96446: you could try installing ubuntu server and if this boots fine, see if you can add a gui | 20:09 |
| tomreyn | qwebirc96446: why would you want to get 14.04 to run, which looses support in a month? | 20:09 |
| tomreyn | use 18.04.2 | 20:09 |
| qwebirc96446 | I only said 14.04 because I didn't remember the version of the LTS | 20:10 |
| qwebirc96446 | that is what I am trying to install. | 20:10 |
| qwebirc96446 | 18.04.2 | 20:10 |
| tomreyn | see what i said about server | 20:10 |
| qwebirc96446 | Why would I want to go that route? I already have the iso downloaded and would rather just run the desktop version. Would rather not have to go download yet another image. | 20:11 |
| qwebirc96446 | What I would like to do is to install the new version from within the 10.10 that I was able to install from the old DVD I have laying around. | 20:11 |
| tomreyn | because with your hardware and firmware apparently running a current graphical linux desktop seems troublesome | 20:11 |
| OerHeks | use a more lightweight ubuntu, ubuntu mate or xubuntu | 20:12 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, can you tell us your hw specs ? | 20:12 |
| tomreyn | "mid-2010 Macbook Pro" | 20:13 |
| qwebirc96446 | https://support.apple.com/kb/SP584?locale=en_US | 20:13 |
| tomreyn | !mac | 20:14 |
| qwebirc96446 | The try option in the bootloader acts like it is going to start fine because I can see the desktop wallpaper with the beaver on it but then it goes back out to the text screen with all the [ OK ]'s on it. That's when it just starts doing the bit where it goes on and off. | 20:14 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 20:14 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, have you tried xubuntu or lubuntu ? | 20:15 |
| qwebirc96446 | nope. always tried ubuntu in the past (not on this machine, but in general). thought I would just try it again. | 20:15 |
| qwebirc96446 | guess that was my mistake for trying the simplistic route | 20:16 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, what is 'simplistic route' ? | 20:16 |
| qwebirc96446 | downloading an ubuntu distro from the ubuntu website, creating the boot device, and trying to use that??? | 20:17 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, with no regards at your hw specs ? | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | what you have there is old, and special purpose hardware/firmware, it won't always work with anything out of the box. linux GUIs also develop over the years. | 20:18 |
| qwebirc96446 | Given the fact that the website says "2 GHz dual core processor or better 2 GB system memory 25 GB of free hard drive space Either a DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media Internet access is helpful" I figured I'd be ok. | 20:18 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, if you like the pain,it's ok; boot with nomodeset | 20:19 |
| qwebirc96446 | I mean, the whole "with no regards at your hw specs" bit is not helpful considering the site doesn't say "Hey, you with the older shit, this probably won't work." | 20:19 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, try nomodeset | 20:20 |
| qwebirc96446 | yeah, that doesn't help me much. guess I'll try to figure out where that goes next. Obviously I haven't done this in a very long time, so I am not remembering much about it at all. | 20:22 |
| OerHeks | yeah, please go on with the rant, instead you could try xubuntu on usb | 20:22 |
| ioria | !nomodeset | qwebirc96446 | 20:22 |
| ubottu | qwebirc96446: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:22 |
| ioria | 256mb | 20:22 |
| qwebirc96446 | ok, so nomodeset let the live version boot up. | 20:25 |
| ioria | Intel Core 2 Duo is 2006 | 20:26 |
| qwebirc96446 | OerHeks, I haven't tried that or the other one mentioned because I don't know what they are, honestly. I just thought coming in here and asking for help with the base version would be alright to do. Apparently not. | 20:26 |
| OerHeks | we appreciate your asking for help, no worry about that | 20:27 |
| qwebirc96446 | well, that isn't really much how it has felt so far. It has felt like general attacks on me for being an idiot. | 20:27 |
| OerHeks | some need a push to get to work :-P | 20:27 |
| qwebirc96446 | Pushing is ok, belittling someone isn't | 20:28 |
| qwebirc96446 | or making someone feel like a dumbass | 20:28 |
| qwebirc96446 | So, if I try to put 18.04.1 LTS over the top of my 10.10, I am likely going to have issues, I'm assuming. | 20:29 |
| qwebirc96446 | I guess I just need to give up on this whole idea. | 20:29 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, we already told you to use a lighter distro ? | 20:30 |
| qwebirc96446 | I was trying this out on this laptop because with MacOS and Windows run really slowly on it. I am thinking it's because I only have 4GB of ram in it. | 20:30 |
| qwebirc96446 | ioria, and I'm trying to read up on what that xubuntu is exactly. | 20:30 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, it's ubuntu but with a lighter DE env (xfce); that's all | 20:31 |
| ioria | qwebirc96446, the problem it's not ubuntu (main) but the DE; i run 16.04 with 256mb (lxde) | 20:32 |
| qwebirc96446 | DE = desktop environment? | 20:32 |
| ioria | yep | 20:33 |
| Bashing-om | qwebirc96446: I run an old 2007 Athlon dual core - 4 gigs of ram is slow with ubuntu as the DE. Runs well with xubuntu. | 20:33 |
| qwebirc96446 | What I remember from this is from about 2006, so you guys have to understand I'm VERY rusty with it. At least that's the last time I remember working with it. I am not sure when I got this 10.10 disc. | 20:33 |
| qwebirc96446 | I remember back in the day you had Gnome and KDE. | 20:34 |
| ioria | maverick is great; it was my first ubuntu version | 20:34 |
| qwebirc96446 | I'm guessing it is quite more complex than that | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | !flavors | 20:35 |
| ubottu | Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 20:35 |
| OerHeks | and besides these iso's, there are tons of other WM and DE | 20:36 |
| Bashing-om | qwebirc96446: Since the 10.10 release the demands on a GUI have grown tremendously :( Now-a-days ya got to have the hosses to run the top end desktops. | 20:36 |
| Gerowen | Bashing-om: I haven't fooled with KDE in a very long time, but Gnome 3 isn't too bad. IIRC, it even has a "simple" mode that turns off all the animations and whatnot. | 20:39 |
| Bashing-om | Gerowen: I mess about a lot - presently have 4 'buntu installs. My preference remains as xfce. | 20:40 |
| qwebirc96446 | Bashing-om, yeah, apparently. LOL Like I said, I was just hoping to put something on this laptop that made it not so miserable to use. :) | 20:40 |
| Gerowen | Ah I must have missed that part of the conversation since I just logged in. | 20:41 |
| Bashing-om | qwebirc96446: I do mess abot a lot .. my work flow and thought processes ... xfce for the win . | 20:41 |
| ioria | the only issue is the support time . 3 y vs 5 y | 20:42 |
| qwebirc96446 | My main thing at this point is hoping that linux has matured a lot where you can do pretty equivalent stuff on it like you can on Mac or Windows. | 20:42 |
| Gerowen | If you're having problems with Gnome or KDE, XFCE is probably the best balance between system resources required and usability/features. | 20:42 |
| Bashing-om | qwebirc96446: You may be pleasantly surprised with the Wayland DE .. it does run well on this old hardware .. and is impressive. | 20:43 |
| qwebirc96446 | Wayland? Is that what is in xubuntu? | 20:43 |
| qwebirc96446 | Seems like there might be a few too many distros to keep up with. LOL | 20:43 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, we have wayland on xubuntu ? | 20:43 |
| Bashing-om | qwebirc96446: Wayland is the Gnome3/18.04 alternative desktop environment available on the default install if ya so choose it. | 20:46 |
| blackflow | There's no such thing as Wayland DE. Wayland is a protocol. Please people, let's mind technical correctness. | 20:46 |
| blackflow | It's still gnome. Mutter is a wayland compositor. | 20:46 |
| Bashing-om | ioria: Last I was aware .. xubuntu was not going to support Wayland :( | 20:47 |
| ioria | yep | 20:47 |
| ioria | only gnome (for now) | 20:47 |
| blackflow | it might, with Mir (another Wayland compositor), which is also considered by MATE. | 20:47 |
| qwebirc96446 | So, why is 18.04 LTS and 18.10 just 9 months? Is .10 like a beta version without the beta label? | 20:48 |
| ioria | yes (s a) | 20:49 |
| compdoc | LTS only comes out every couple years, but is supported for 10 years now | 20:50 |
| compdoc | the others are for testing new kernels and features, before going into an LTS version | 20:51 |
| ioria | not sure about the 10 y thing | 20:51 |
| Gerowen | Stupid question | 20:52 |
| qwebirc96446 | hey, that's my job | 20:52 |
| Gerowen | I set up SSH on my server ages ago and need to change the login message I get. However, it's not in issue.net and I can't seem to find what file it's in when I read sshd_config | 20:52 |
| Gerowen | It's been so long since I set it up I forgot where I put it, :p | 20:52 |
| Gerowen | Just wanting to update that message. | 20:53 |
| blackflow | Gerowen: you probably mean /etc/motd | 20:53 |
| Gerowen | blackflow: That's it, thanks, :-) | 20:53 |
| compdoc | Mark Shuttleworth Reveals Ubuntu 18.04 Will Get a 10-Year Support Lifespan. | 20:53 |
| blackflow | Gerowen: note however that on modern 'buntus, motd is dynamic, and /etc/motd is just one component of the entire message. | 20:53 |
| blackflow | compdoc: yes but not for general public. the extra 5 yrs will be via ESM | 20:54 |
| compdoc | grrr | 20:54 |
| OerHeks | i wonder who will run a linux version today, older than 3 years, but this is more subject for #ubuntu-discuss | 20:55 |
| Gerowen | Well the server is "actually" a Debian and not Ubuntu system, but I figured the location would be the same. When Debian 9 runs out I'm going to migrate it to Ubuntu server. It hosts several services, and a few of them I've had to manually pull in newer deps from the backports and whatnot because the stuff in regular Debian stable is SO OLD. | 20:55 |
| blackflow | OerHeks: IoT gadgets primarily and stuff like that. | 20:56 |
| qwebirc96446 | crap, I've done something to my grub and now it isn't seeing my windows partition or anything. All it says is error: unknown filesystem followed by grub rescue> on the next line. | 20:56 |
| blackflow | Gerowen: as old as Ubuntu LTS after 2 years | 20:57 |
| tomreyn | authorities and companies who have to certify / review software changes also will benefit from 'static' desktop versions. | 20:58 |
| tomreyn | and right, this belongs to -discuss, sorry | 20:59 |
| Malgorath | Hello, I just installed 18.04 on a HP z620 Workstation. I had Windows 10 on it and everything was good. My question is I am looking at a RAID partition that should be 14.x TB but it shows it as 2TB. And ideas or pointers? | 21:00 |
