[00:02] you can also grep /var/lib/apt/lists/ I think [00:14] oerheks: synaptic requires an x11 server, no? (I am just usign a vps) [00:16] ya same thing with mate [00:17] so I am grepping now old packages from https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi/debian/ and write a script that does dpkg -i for each .deb and their dependencies... [00:18] https://imgur.com/r4ebMxs [00:19] not sure if this will help ^ [00:19] sonicx79: changing software's not going to fix that one [00:20] seems like a memory error? [00:20] sonicx79: that's probably failing hardware -- or failed hardware -- you may try reseating memory sticks or simimlar [00:20] bank 0 [00:20] or replacing memory sticks [00:20] yes, worth a check [00:20] ok let me give it a go [00:22] dostoyevsky, i have no clue with jitsi than the manual, all i see there are recent updates in https://download.jitsi.org/stable/ [00:35] Within VMWare: Is there a way to make my Ubuntu 19.10 desktop install remember that I want a 200% scale factor even if I slightly resize the window or even reboot the computer? [00:39] oerheks: yeah... and I can see the old versions now with "apt policy jitsi-meet" but I cannot install them, there are depency errors... so I am writing a script to fetch the debs by hand and do dpkg -i on each.... and install their other depencies before with apt install [00:39] Oh, it looks like this just might be broken :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-settings-daemon/+bug/1689356 [00:39] Launchpad bug 1689356 in unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "UI scale being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:39] apt install -f # would do the trick too, i guess [00:40] same thing still [00:40] glguy, that was unity, not gnome3 ? [00:42] oerheks: that might have changed, but the bug persists [00:42] oerheks: `apt install -f' <- this will get me the missing dependencies dpkg complains about? [00:43] -f fix missing [00:48] bios says hp pavilion dv6700 not 6000? [00:54] jvwjgames: are you using virt-manager?

[01:10] while installing jitsi it asks for a domain name that I need to enter... I want to run it in a dockerfile however--is there a general way to supply the string to be input to dpkg -i ? like `echo domain | dpkg -i package.deb' ? [01:22] night [01:24] dostoyevsky, I've never done it, but the debconf utilities are supposed to do that. The third answer in this so question looks pretty complete: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/702248/how-can-i-automate-dpkg-apt-get [01:34] I'm running an Ubuntu 16.4 VPS - all looks good - I happened to run nethogs and it is showing me: root104.148.41.xxx:9530 -115.73.191.112:53391 - this is a vietnamese site that it appears to be connecting to - 1) am I correct that the 115... is being connected to from my 104.. site 2) how do I discover what process is doing this? === johnfg_ is now known as johnfg [01:34] hi guys [01:35] I just followed a web page to be able to play dvds, but it still won't play.

[02:20] CrtxReavr: System fully updated - PPAs reverted - terminal command ' sudo do-release-upgrade ' . [02:21] No file I need to touch that specifies the verion? [02:21] version [02:22] CrtxReavr: No not generally if you were on a LTS and upgrading to LTS the upgrade manager is set to go. [02:22] its behavior is controlled by /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [02:22] you want it to say prompt=lts [02:23] Okay - thanks. . . I'll give it a try. [02:23] (which it will by default for LTS releases) [02:23] hi, enabled night light on 18.04 (using GnomeShell). Second monitor doesn't apply the night light setting. How can I fix it? [02:25] default is monitor 2, that one enabled night light. monitor 1 did not. [02:26] both on the same videocard? [02:30] Yes, but different types of ports [02:31] monitor 1 is VGA 2 is DVI [02:31] oerheks, would VGA be a problem? [02:31] no, that should be oke [02:32] Bashing-om / dax, do-release-upgrade is giving me a curious error: https://bpaste.net/FTIQ [02:32] CrtxReavr: looking. [02:32] don't use -d [02:32] I didn't. [02:32] and apart from that, what version of ubuntu are you currently on [02:33] Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS [02:34] that's the current stable LTS release [02:34] I'd swear I saw 20.04 LTS was out. [02:34] it comes out at the end of this month [02:35] I see - thanks. [02:35] and isn't offered for upgrade until later anyway, to iron out any issues (so if you want to upgrade right after release, you want to use -d then) [02:37] CrtxReavr: See too: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-beta-testing-ubuntu-20-04-lts-official-ubuntu-flavors/15157 [02:38] yeah, I'll pass. . . don't need any drama with that VM. [02:40] CrtxReavr: :D 18.04 for the win. [02:41] CrtxReavr: in that case, you'll want to sit for now, and once the upgrade's offered in a few months, go for it :) === beaver^ is now known as angelbeaver [03:40] I'm having a problem in 18.04. I have an idea that it is in grub. I add ed grub as a DE in 1804. It seems to have infected all of my partitions. They all are prefixed by elementary in grub. When I load 1804 it is unstable and I get a flickering window that says it is caja [03:46] tripelb: what if you add a new user and log in as that user? [03:47] How can I add a new user if it is vibrating. Oh I didn't say nothing else works if I click on it. [03:47] I wonder if I can get a terminal up. Let me boot it up and try that. [03:47] CTRL+ALT+F2, yeah [03:48] if there's no real problem with a new user, then your user's configs in ~/ are confusing something [03:48] most likely [04:57] I ran sudo update-initramfs -u as directed for an unrelated matter and it broke bluetooth, now when i boot up bluetooth is off and ubuntu doesnt want to let me turn it on... help! [04:58] r3dux: what was the unrelated matter? [04:58] getting rid of purple boot screen [04:59] "bluetoothctl scan on" returns "No default controller available" [05:00] r3dux: does sudo rfkill list give anyhting? [05:01] yes, can i paste bin it to you [05:01] ok [05:02] https://pastebin.com/tggZu1gx [05:07] EriC^^: you see it? [05:07] r3dux: looks fine, nothing blocked [05:10] hcitool del is returning no devices [05:10] as is bluetoothctl [05:10] how would i reinstall bluetooth drivers? [05:13] r3dux: try looking for what they're called in "lspci -nnk" output and reinstall the package related to it [05:18] im not seeing any bluetooth devides in lspci -k now [05:46] i've ubuntu 19 with nvidia g210m.. with or without nvidia driver.. hdmi and backlight control not working [05:46] whats the best solution? or where to find the answer?.. [06:31] Hello there. [06:33] General question I am trying to debug a pihole installation,however at some point i came across the systemd-resolve service. If i get it right I am able to set it to use DNS over TLS without any third party binary . Did I get that right? my only resource at the moment is Archwiki [06:47] Hello all! I was thinking of taking up drawing (I have a tablet). Any good free software? Is GIMP a good idea? [06:47] It would be nice if the software came with some tutorials too. Not necessarily official [06:49] I have wacom and gimp works just great with it. If you have any knowledge of Photoshop gimp is fairly easy [06:49] thank atol-71 [06:51] inkscape is another option p0a [06:52] lestac: I have Inkscape but I thought it is for a different purpose [06:52] lestac: I am thinking of those cool drawings you see sometimes online (like speed drawings etc). I think Inkscape is for rasterized stuff right? [06:52] no -- vector graphics. [07:09] jeah inkscape is for vectors if you are looking for pixel based its gimp [07:11] thank you [07:11] I will go with gimp :) Thanks again [07:12] nw :) [07:24] I have 2 grub.cfg - one on sda1/boot and on sda5/boot - I am booted into the sda1 one. how do I tell grub to use sda5? [07:24] which has entries for both sda1 and 5 [07:58] hello I've been dealing with a screen resolution problem with a HP Pavilion 6700 just to install ubuntu-mate. I had to slowly navigate my way through the wonky screen resolution to the display setting to change my screen to 1024x768 just so I could navgate my system. I cannot use 1280x800 as it break my screen in a way [08:09] any one? [08:18] sonicx: hi [08:18] sonicx: what's the problem? [08:18] I've been dealing with a screen resolution problem with a HP Pavilion 6700 just to install ubuntu-mate. I had to slowly navigate my way through the wonky screen resolution to the display setting to change my screen to 1024x768 just so I could navgate my system. I cannot use 1280x800 as it break my screen in a way [08:19] just repeating what I said earlier^ [08:19] that doesn't really specify the problem [08:19] it almost reads like you already solved it [08:19] "my screen is FOO but I want it to be BAR" [08:20] fair sorry [08:20] you want it to be 1280x800? [08:21] is it a 'DV6700'? [08:21] yes [08:21] and you want it to have 1280x800 res? [08:22] yes [08:22] sonicx: what graphics devices does it have? (lspci | grep -i vga) [08:24] when I use fbset -i I get nouveaudrmfb [08:24] sonicx: okay [08:24] sonicx: you probably are trying to use a nvidia graphics device [08:24] yes [08:25] sonicx: one straightforward solution is likely to use the proprietary driver from nvidia instead of nouveau [08:25] sonicx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+question/177317#comment-9 [08:26] sonicx: and here's a bug seemingly about nouveau vs 1280x800: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70972 [08:26] Freedesktop bug 70972 in Driver/nouveau "[NV67] Modesetting failure at 1280x800" [Major,Resolved: moved] [08:27] I'd be surprised if it would be terribly hard to get working, but using the proprietary nvidia driver is probably more straightforward [08:27] if you the laptop also has intel onboard, which is likely, that's another option, and would probably save a lot of power [08:27] and if you don't care about power and want all the oomf you can get, unfortunately that's another argument to use the proprietary driver [08:28] nouveau is lovely and less buggy in general, but it's always got to play catchup to the proprietary upstream driver [08:29] in that case Im ok ruining it at 1024x768 but my boot up and my login screen mess up [08:30] it looks like it was zoomed-in than duplicated [08:30] I would look into disabling graphics/framebuffer for GRUB and the like, personally [08:30] it's unimportant to have fancy graphics during bootup [08:31] and as you can see, actually problematic [08:31] so how would I go about fixing that? [08:32] Im just looking for it to be stable at the moment [08:33] sonicx: https://support.digium.com/s/article/How-to-disable-the-Linux-frame-buffer-if-it-s-causing-problems [08:35] or possibly here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/92276/how-do-i-boot-into-true-text-mode [08:35] sorry not finding official docs on the matter [08:36] no your fine your helping a lot [08:37] sure, would just be my preference for there to be an item on the Ubuntu wiki or the like; think there used to be [08:37] * matsaman shrugs [08:38] distro I use doesn't have graphics for boot unless you explicitly opt into that, and I've never had a reason to do that, so I don't know a lot about it these days [08:48] I'm getting lots of `mce: CPU3: Package temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1053)` errors in journalctl but temp is ~50. Is this a bug? [08:50] And I'm experiencing random shutdowns but I've not found the reason (thermal or internal battery)...This also happens on Windows (and temperatures there are also much less than 105, about 50-60) [08:50] ok is there a way to tell the login screen to look at the set screen resolution from the user session? or somthing like that? [08:51] for example I have it set to 1024x768 how do I set the login menu to that [08:58] hey my touchpad feels kind of shaky. When I do very slow and small movements it looks like it's snapping between pixels instead of moving smoothly. Also often when i "tap" (I have "tap to click" enabled) it jumps and the clicks goes into empty space instead of on the button. Is there any way to adjust the advanced settings of how touchpad behaves? (I already set the sensitivity, it doesnt help)
