[00:00] <cyphase> T-7 days
[00:01] <Mobutils> hmm... ive added: Defaults !requiretty to my soders file... but im still getting: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[00:36] <jmgb4> Anybody running pciepassthrough at all? While trying to bind my video card I keep on getting error 22. I am trying to follow this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF
[00:52] <ASDL> .
[00:52] <cogita_semper> hello, how do I stop my laptop from hibernating when I close the lid? I installed gnome-tweaks and changed it there but no dice
[00:58] <xamithan> Depends on your version
[00:58] <undeclared> It's possible you did it right but you clicked cancel possibly by accident?
[00:59] <undeclared> Just an idea, if not, ignore me ;)
[01:00] <cogita_semper> 17.10
[01:03] <xamithan> You double checked you didn't hit cancel?  Then you rebooted ?
[01:05] <cogita_semper> theres no cancel or ok or save or anything
[01:05] <cogita_semper> i have rebooted and the setting still is on off but it doesn't stop it from suspending
[01:06] <xamithan> Hmm I'll test on my laptop
[01:08] <xamithan> Works fine here,  maybe try a different user or see if you can find the gsettings switch
[01:13] <cogita_semper>  hmm, thats odd. its working fine now but it didnt when the computer was restarting after changing the setting
[01:14] <cogita_semper> is this a gnome-only setting?? because I want to use this laptop as a "server" that I can VNC into
[01:22] <xamithan> It is a setting that'll be specific to your DE,  which is currently gnome
[01:25] <m_>
[01:48] <plongshot> My laptop dies when I unplug it and it has been shutting down after a couple updates ago. I hadn't changed the settings but it started acting different.  I have some information here if it helps any:  https://imgur.com/a/OebtLmG    Does anyone know of any recent problems?
[01:49] <plongshot> I didn't used to have this problem before and the infor I can get about the battery seems to saying it's ok?
[01:50] <plongshot> It's a thinkpad t420i
[02:13] <pragmaticenigma> plongshot, reboot the laptop into bios and try unplugging it... if it stays on longer than it does while running ubuntu, then it's an issue with Ubuntu. If the laptop powers off shortly after unplugging it while in BIOS. then the battery is no good.
[02:14] <mmercer> ok... is there some magical trick to getting a bootable usb flash media for ubuntu server 16.04.4....
[02:15] <mmercer> ive used dd from linux on 5 different usb flash drives, ive used etcher on macos on 3 different flash drives.  every single one of them reports 'floppy error accessing block 0'
[02:15] <plongshot> pragmaticenigma: Thanks, will try
[02:17] <pragmaticenigma> mmercer, if you have a UEFI enabled system, imaging the USB stick via DD will not work
[02:18] <mmercer> pragmaticenigma: it boots.  it gets past the keyboard language choice... and crashes after reading something something /m, /n, /o  or similar
[02:18] <mmercer> it scrolls by fast enough that im not sure what its saying, but it seems like its just an alphabetic list of directories at that point... and then.. nothing
[02:19] <pragmaticenigma> mmercer, it looks like one of your options for creating media was with a Mac... This is the instructions for using a Mac with Etcher: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-macos#0 it has the settings needed and should work for server
[02:20] <mmercer> pragmaticenigma: thats exactly what i used
[02:20] <mmercer> because creating it from fedora media writer wasnt working.  ive used the same process for fedora, centos, redhat, etc images for years
[02:20] <pragmaticenigma> mmercer, have you checked the Checksum of the image you downloaded?
[02:20] <mmercer> yep
[02:20] <pragmaticenigma> hrm
[02:20] <mmercer> was my first thought... 03a validated
[02:21] <mmercer> its why im baffled
[02:21] <mmercer> and im sure its not the machine too, lol.  ive done numerous reinstalls of centos and fedora on it recently with the same usb port, etc
[02:21] <mmercer> ( same processes for creating the media too )  =D
[02:22] <pragmaticenigma> mmercer, I did see in one bug report that disabling Floppy drive support in bios helped
[02:22] <mmercer> pragmaticenigma: hehe... i did that too
[02:22] <mmercer> its weird as crap
[02:23] <mmercer> i must be going crazy =D
[02:23] <pragmaticenigma> what about using the ubuntu mini.iso instead?
[02:23] <pragmaticenigma> assuming you don't need UEFI
[02:23] <mmercer> dont need it, i do generally prefer it, but its definitely not a need
[02:23] <pragmaticenigma> just thinking of other install options that might work better for ya
[02:24] <mmercer> * nods *  the irony.... this is all to get to the 'preferred' platform for the openstack-ansible aio installer
[02:24] <pragmaticenigma> ah
[02:24] <mmercer> since centos 7 apparently doesnt get much love
[02:25] <pragmaticenigma> centos... my preferred distro, if only it wasn't so hard to work with multimedia
[02:25] <pragmaticenigma> i've gotta scoot here. I'm sure you'll find luck... wishing you the best
[02:25] <mmercer> later
[02:26] <NewNoobFriend> Hello Hello ladies and gentleman, how is everybody doing this evening/morning !
[02:26] <plongshot> Ok, so I boot into bios then unplug and the laptop dies. I guess this means my battery is trash?  But I don't understand why the power information would say it's "fully-charged" though.
[02:26] <plongshot> pragmaticenigma: ^
[02:27] <plongshot> And does a battery suddenly die like that with no indiacation that it is failing?
[02:27] <NewNoobFriend> Would any of you be kind enough to helpa New noob whenever there is vulkan driver for R5 M430 on Linux?
[02:27] <eraserpencil> Whats normally recommended? downloading from repo or building from source
[02:28] <pragmaticenigma> plongshot, it is entirely possible, the system does a best guess based on the battery controller. I suspect the battery may have an internal short
[02:29] <plongshot> hmm
[02:29] <plongshot> ok
[02:29] <pragmaticenigma> eraserpencil, downloading from repos is supported in this channel. building from source isn't something we can support since there are so many options to how you build an application
[02:29] <plongshot> Maybe my electician friend knows a way to test the battery (with his meter or something).  It's cool tho.  Thanks pragmaticenigma
[02:30] <eraserpencil> but repos would normally be of an older version as compared as building from source?
[02:31] <pragmaticenigma> eraserpencil, in some cases yes... because those versions are stable and well tested
[02:32] <jmgb4> Hey fellas... I am having a very hard time getting tor to run. I can start and stop the service fine, if I run tor in a browser it gets to 100% and bootstraps fine, but I can never get tor-browser launched
[02:32] <pragmaticenigma> eraserpencil, versioning in linux doesn't work like versioning in Mac/Windows. Versions in Linux actually refer to specific changes. the first number changing means it's almost entirely a new application. the second number means some features are added or removed, the third number is usually patches and bug fixes
[02:32] <jeffrey_> Hello.  how to mount a Buffalo Link Station.  How.  fstab would be nice too
[02:32] <eraserpencil> so the master branch of a github is not as well tested as a version from the repo
[02:32] <pragmaticenigma> eraserpencil, correct
[02:33] <pragmaticenigma> i'm out for sure now everyone... have a good evenin
[02:33] <barney12> exit
[02:34] <guiverc> jeffrey_: i have some old ones (used for backups) - i just mount them as normal samba shares
[02:37] <guiverc> jeffrey_: mount //ip.address/Buffalo /mntlocn -o username=..,password=..  will mount .. - i used to use credentials=/etc/..  when i used fstab, but has since been removed (as now only for backups, mounted only before/after use)
[02:39] <syb0rg> Hi, I'm having a problem when trying to install ubuntu (Xubuntu actually, I had the same issue trying to install Lubuntu so it appears to be an Ubuntu problem). I am using encrypted / and /home partitions set up through the installer, and when I proceed from the partitioning step I get the error: "The attempt to mount a filesystem with type Ext4 in Encrypted volume (mmcblk0p3_crypt) at / failed.
[02:40] <syb0rg> I suppose the next step is to try again with manual partitioning, unless someone knows how to make the installer work.
[02:41] <syb0rg> manual as in, manual set up of encrypted partitions that is
[02:41] <syb0rg> anyway I'm going afk for a couple of minutes, if you have ideas or troubleshooting questions please shoot
[02:53] <jeffrey_> Thanks guiverc
[03:00] <syb0rg> hmm, so no ideas on this one huh guys?
[03:01] <ruby32> syb0rg i recently had to switch from Lubuntu to Ubuntu 17.10 due to a similar error with an encrypted volume
[03:05] <syb0rg> ruby32, I tried Lubuntu first, lol
[03:06] <syb0rg> and then xubuntu. The machine I'm installing on would be a poor candidate for gnome/unity
[03:07] <syb0rg> (Acer Aspire 1, which is an amazing deal despite terrible storage and limited memory)
[03:07] <ruby32> did you try Lubuntu 16?
[03:07] <ruby32> i only had this error with 17
[03:08] <syb0rg> no ruby32, only 17
[03:08] <syb0rg> I guess I could tried going back to 16.04, maybe I will give it a shot
[03:08] <guiverc> syb0rg: you could always use Ubuntu to install it, then add lubuntu-desktop/xubuntu-desktop (or just LXDE or XFCE...)  it's my normal path  - you select which you use at login... there are drawbacks to that (multiple apps do same thing, you need to recall leafpad is fastest for lxde etc)
[03:09] <ruby32> syb0rg yeah i would try installing Lubuntu 16 first then go with guiverc route if that doesn't work
[03:09] <syb0rg> good point guiverc
[03:09] <ruby32> depends if you care more about being up-to-date or having additional software/complexity with your install
[03:11] <syb0rg> well given that the Aspire 1 has *ahem* 32 glorious gigabytes of internal storage, limiting unneeded software on my root partition is a good thing =P
[03:11] <syb0rg> but I can always install first, pare it down later
[03:12] <ruby32> i think i have the same laptop
[03:12] <syb0rg> hehe nice, it seems like a decent machine so long as you can work around the storage problem
[03:12] <Sircle> Thumpxr, My http site does not redirects to httpS. Is there anything wrong with configs? https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9083482
[03:13] <Sircle> sory. Thumpxr it was was for all
[03:13] <syb0rg> now try again with *everyone's* name Sircle, you're sure to get some input that way =P
[03:13] <Sircle> :)
[03:15] <oerheks> Sircle, just checked, properly HTTPS here ..
[03:15] <Sircle> hm
[03:16] <syb0rg> Sircle, there is a #networking channel. Maybe they'd be more helpful? I wonder if there is a  web dev channel
[03:16] <Sircle> Thanks
[03:17] <oerheks> https://i.imgur.com/BIwqZxK.png
[03:17] <Sircle> oerheks,  thats firefox?
[03:18] <oerheks> no, chrome
[03:18] <Sircle> I had problems in ff
[03:18] <syb0rg> good job oerheks you remembered to close all the pr0n tabs before taking that screenshot
[03:18] <Sircle> chrome is fine
[03:18] <Sircle> lol
[03:18] <oerheks> .. syb0rg please, keep the channel family friendly, thanks.
[03:19] <syb0rg> sure oerheks
[04:03] <luunatik> hello
[04:03] <luunatik> looking for help with linux issue
[04:04] <kuze01> i probably cant help whats up
[04:04] <luunatik> usb ports stopped working after following this https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-iphone-6s-ios-11.html
[04:04] <luunatik> on linux lite
[04:05] <luunatik> since then usb is non functional. cannot live boot or anything
[04:05] <lotuspsychje_> luunatik: this is ubuntu support specific, do you have ubuntu installed?
[04:06] <luunatik> no, and yes, i was hoping anyone from here could help or guide me in right direction for support or assistance
[04:07] <lotuspsychje_> luunatik: for other linux support join ##linux
[04:07] <syb0rg> If it is a general linux issue ##linux is helpful luunatik
[04:07] <luunatik> i am on linux lite. alright will check ##linux
[04:07] <lotuspsychje_> luunatik: if you want help on regular base from us, we strongly suggest you install ubuntu
[04:08] <luunatik> i was in the process to install bionic daily but usb do not work
[04:08] <luunatik> using lenovo yoga pro 3
[04:10] <lotuspsychje_> !usb | luunatik
[04:10] <luunatik> i have the live usb ready, issue is my usb ports are non functional even lsusb does not pick anything
[04:13] <kuze01> reset cmos?
[04:13] <lotuspsychje_> luunatik: will you install ubuntu single?
[04:13] <luunatik> yes
[04:13] <lotuspsychje_> luunatik: did you disable fastboot & secureboot then F12 to boot your usb?
[04:13] <luunatik> i want to move data before messing anything
[04:13] <luunatik> yes
[04:14] <luunatik> it is under legacy
[04:14] <kuze01> resetcmos
[04:14] <luunatik> and i cannot connect any usb device for copying data
[04:14] <luunatik> can it be done via terminal ?
[04:15] <crypticGator> Hi..  I'm on 17.10
[04:15] <luunatik> modprobe nvram dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvram this?
[05:00] <lirodon> okay, friend's trying to install 16.04, and installer's stuck on detecting file systems for quite a while
[05:04] <Randolf> lirodon:  Might the hard drive have bad sectors?
[05:05] <lirodon> also, given that her Windows XP still functions, I guess it didn't even get to the install at all
[05:08] <Randolf> How old is the machine?
[05:08] <lirodon> Optiplex 745
[05:15] <matyd> did an update tonight on my 16.04 and now everytime I wake up the laptop from sleeping it says authentification failure, switch to greeter
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> lirodon: did you use latest iso?
[05:16] <lirodon> we figured it out. it had automounted her Windows drive and that was causing issues. Went through the install path with the Try Ubuntu/Install Ubuntu dialog instead, and it worked now
[05:21] <matyd> anyone have the authentification failure issue when waking up from suspend?
[05:21] <matyd> ubuntu 16.04
[05:29] <lirodon> also does chromium support Google account sync or do you need to use name-brand Chrome?
[05:47] <Guy1524_> how do I enable trim after transfering an ubuntu installation from an HDD to a SSD
[05:48] <rauno> man
[05:48] <rauno> !help
[05:49] <Randolf> Patience is a virtue.
[05:49] <rauno> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/fstrim.8.html
[05:50] <rauno> actually wanted to know how this irc bot works with man pages :)
[05:50] <Guy1524_> sorry
[05:50] <SlidingHorn> rauno: if you want to test the bot, please do so via a private message :)
[05:50] <dcarmich> We are setting up an Ubuntu 17.10 system, and LDAP authentication fails on boot with error 9 "authentication service cannot retrieve authentication information."
[05:50] <dcarmich> However, after restarting sssd after boot, it works fine.
[05:51] <dcarmich> 	The SSSD service starts successfully on boot, but authentication itself fails until SSSD is restarted.
[05:51] <rauno> SlidingHorn, okay, will do that :)
[06:00] <StoneCypher1080> i'm having trouble getting the cuda makefile to see the cuda library directory.  does someone have a moment?
[06:01] <rauno> probably needs to be adding to LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?
[06:02] <StoneCypher1080> nope, did that.  LIBRARY_PATH too
[06:03] <StoneCypher1080> oh wait manually prefacing the command works
[06:03] <StoneCypher1080> maybe this makefile is botching the library path somewhere
[06:06] <Randolf> Is it possible to use Ubuntu Linux as a host for VMware ESXi?
[06:10] <gorgolath> hi i use zorin os and the new version make me a mess in wine and synaptic so i am stuck ;i need a stable distro and not so many updates thanks in advance for your help
[06:17] <guiverc> gorgolath: to me your question is offtopic. we can only answer Ubuntu here (Ubuntu is very stable) but the few updates requirement brings to mind another something that is is offtopic here...  I'd recommend another room, #ubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu-discuss etc  (this is a support room too, & zorin isn't ubuntu...)
[06:18] <gorgolath> hi;i got a real mess with the zorin 12 update ;break wine 3 and synaptic ;please tell me about a distro without so many update : stable first of all thanks in advance
[06:19] <guiverc> gorgolath: already answered - zorin is not ubuntu, and is offtopic here.
[06:23] <gorgolath> ZORIN IS DERIVATIVE OF UBUNTU or at least you could have told me that ZORIN is no good and UBUNTU IS BETTER
[06:27] <guiverc> gorgolath: my assumption is you already knew that. derivatives make changes that may have some minor benefits in one area, but regress other areas which is why they aren't supported here. many things ubuntu will have no issues with, do have issues on derivatives...
[06:28] <ducasse> gorgolath: why don't you try ubuntu and see for yourself how you like it?

[07:37] <lotuspsychje> Guest22905: this is ubuntu support, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[07:39] <Guest22905> yes a have some question
[07:40] <Guest22905> how i can run a command in linux boot
[07:40] <hateball> Guest22905: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers
[07:41] <ducasse> Guest22905: which release are you on?
[07:43] <yogurt99> if I start X in multiple different ttys then I have multiple "X servers" running?
[07:44] <Ool> yogurt99: did you tried ?
[07:46] <yogurt99> yeah, I'm just messing around with killing X and figuring it all out.
[07:46] <yogurt99> I killed everything in TTY1 and the screen just freezes on waht it was at boot
[07:47] <yogurt99> I figured out I could do systemctl start<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to get a console and then startx to get it back
[07:47] <yogurt99> I'm guessing that on TTY1 it goes straight to a Display Manager on boot, rather than a console, so when I kill all processes it goes to the last place it was at when it started the display manager...
[07:51] <BionicMac> lotuspsychje: Is Live Patch supposed to be in Kubuntu as well?
[07:52] <lotuspsychje> i think its 18.04 related, so it should
[07:52] <yogurt99> ok I figured out how to list processes by tty and can see multiple Xorgs, but only one instance of xinit and startx
[07:52] <yogurt99> anyone know why sometimes if I start up ubuntu and login at tty1 it'll spawn my session into some other random tty?
[07:54] <BionicMac> hmmm not happening for me on Kubuntu.
[08:39] <thinque> hi~
[08:44] <kunde01> Hi, I'm writing this from an Ubuntu 17.04 pc, it wasn't used for half a year or so and now I can't even upgrade it to the latest release, it gives lots of errors with stuff not found, what to do?
[08:44] <brainwash> !eolupgrade
[08:45] <kunde01> thanks brainwash I'll look at it. bit of a usability issue that even release upgrade doens't work on no-longer-supported versions
[08:45] <brainwash> kunde01: maybe it would be best to stick with the LTS release then
[08:46] <brainwash> 18.04 will be the next one (release next week)
[08:47] <kunde01> yeah probably but I'll upgrade it now anyway, and then again in a week, but more thinking in general of people who don't know to go to IRC and ask for help and might feel completely lost in this type of situation
[08:48] <mjayk> Haya all I have my laptop hooked up to a 4k dell monitor via hdmi and stuff looks just kinda fuzzy (not as sharp as on my 1080 laptop screen) any ideas?
[08:48] <patrick_> Does anyone know of a command line app that fetches id3 tag info from cddb or equivalent?
[08:48] <kunde01> patrick_, id3tag ?
[08:49] <patrick_> kunde01: Artist, album, track etc
[08:52] <ledeni> patrick_, try 'play'
[08:54] <patrick_> ledeni: Its not in the repos, would you happen to have a link
[08:55] <tomreyn> !info sox
[08:55] <tomreyn> sox contains /usr/bin/play (but i do not know whether that handled id3tags)
[08:56] <patrick_> tomreyn: was that for me?
[08:56] <tomreyn> patrick_: yes, and a bit to ledeni, too
[08:56] <patrick_> sox does not mention audio id3 tag identification
[08:57] <tomreyn> sox contains like 30 binaries, its description wont describe them all
[08:57] <patrick_> tomreyn: Oh I see
[08:57] <patrick_> Sounds interesting actually
[09:00] <patrick_> Wow! down the rabbit hole I go...
[09:05] <mjayk> Haya all I have my laptop hooked up to a 4k dell monitor via hdmi and stuff looks just kinda fuzzy (not as sharp as on my 1080 laptop screen) any ideas?
[09:08] <tomreyn> mjayk: depending on your graphics card, you may need to use proprietary drivers for this to work better.
[09:08] <tomreyn> lspci -nn | grep VGA
[09:09] <mjayk> tomreyn: its intel
[09:10] <tomreyn> mjayk: which ubuntu release? lsb_release -ds which kernel version? cat /proc/version
[09:10] <tomreyn> mjayk: which ubuntu release ("lsb_release -ds")? which kernel version ("cat /proc/version")?
[09:13] <tomreyn> mjayk: also: lscpu | grep '^Model name:'
[09:16] <am_ex> I have a problem on all versions of Ubuntu with my wireless mouses and keyboards (sometimes GUI-interface too) it's freezing when I copying some files trough USB 3.0 (not tr 2.0), where can I read about this problem and how can I solve it?
[09:16] <am_ex> Thanks
[09:20] <tomreyn> am_ex: i'd start by looking at the kernel ring buffer logs, using: "dmesg -T". you can post those online by using "dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 9999" (and posting the resulting http address here)
[09:20] <am_ex> Ok
[09:20] <tomreyn> am_ex: you should also try this with a newer kernel version, if available, and maybe a newer ubuntu release (such as using a live iso)
[09:21] <am_ex> Do I must run this command while copying the data?
[09:21] <am_ex> tomreyn, new kernels, ok, which versions?
[09:21] <tomreyn> you can run either command at any time, there is no race condition
[09:22] <tomreyn> it would be useful to know which ubuntu release and kernel version you're currently using. "lsb_release -ds; cat /proc/version"
[09:22] <tomreyn> but start witht he second dmesg command
[09:26] <tomreyn> am_ex: since you also asked this in #ubuntu+1 - if this is an 18.04 pre-release, let's talk there instead.
[09:28] <am_ex> tomreyn, am@am-ws:~$ uname -a => Linux am-ws 4.15.0-15-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 4 13:58:14 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[09:29] <tomreyn> am_ex: thanks for providing the output of a command i didnt ask for while not providing the output for three commands i asked for.
[09:30] <tomreyn> ah, you did, elsewhere. ok, switching to +q
[09:30] <tomreyn> +1
[09:35] <NeonLight118> hi
[09:35] <NeonLight118> it's my first time using this
[09:37] <vlt> NeonLight118: Welcome!
[09:37] <guiverc> Welcome NeonLight118 , this is a Ubuntu support room, so if you have a Ubuntu support question please ask it (ideally in a single line). If someone knows the answer they'll reply (please be patient, people do other things too)
[09:38] <NeonLight118> what is the diffrence between this and askubuntu.com ?
[09:39] <Ben64> this is real time
[09:39] <am_ex> NeonLight118, on this channel you can chat online and postquestions and get answers more quickly
[09:39] <vlt> NeonLight118: This is an IRC channel, the other a website.
[09:39] <guiverc> NeonLight118: this is people who can walk you thru right now, askubu is a ask & come-back later site.  its whichever you prefer (i use askubu too)
[09:39] <am_ex> guiverc, agree
[09:40] <NeonLight118> oh, well thank you for clarification
[09:47] <NeonLight118> I will give this thing a try. quite often I loose internet connection, quick fix is to just reconnect but I'm trying to find a more perminant solution
[10:05] <stiction> Will 18.04 come up with the new gtk theme and icon theme? Couldn't find anything about that in the release note.
[10:08] <gebbione> hi i m trying to modify my openvpn certificate to allow to work with the VPN dns,  I added lines
[10:08] <gebbione> script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
[10:08] <gebbione> but i get error  -> /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/sendmail: 7: .: Can't open /usr/share/sendmail/dynamic
[10:10] <yogurt99> I just did sudo kill -9 -1 and I get a 'segmentation fault.'
[10:10] <yogurt99> I'm using Ubuntu 17
[10:10] <yogurt99> Anyone know what that means or why I'd get that?
[10:10] <yogurt99> I'm trying to experiment and break my linux so I can learn more (as a newbiew)
[10:11] <tomreyn> yogurt99: there is no "ubuntu 17", what's the output of "lsb_release -ds"?
[10:11] <yogurt99> ubuntu 17.10
[10:11] <w4|k3r> yogurt99: I am hoping that you are trying that in a virtual machine...
[10:12] <yogurt99> w4|k3r: I've tried both on my laptop & a virtual machine with the same release.
[10:12] <yogurt99> Same fault
[10:13] <rollingubuntu> hello... anyone knows when 18.04 is going to be officially downloadable?
[10:13] <am_ex> ubuntu.com?
[10:13] <w4|k3r> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule
[10:14] <w4|k3r> rollingubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule
[10:16] <nikitha> weird point but never to say for, im looking at storing erotic online  drive, where is it would be best ?
[10:19] <stiction> I'm worried about the theme in 18.04. Will it be the same as 17.10 in terms of look and feel?
[10:19] <yogurt99> I hope it can provide cloud access for storing erotics
[10:20] <w4|k3r> I am not too keen on GDM.
[10:20] <w4|k3r> I have had issues with it earlier and had started to love Unity.

[10:31] <alfuadi> hi
[10:31] <francisv> How do I install texinfo documentation in Ubuntu?  I would like to have GNU make documentation https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html in Texinfo.
[10:32] <w4|k3r> francisv: Which version of ubuntu are you using?
[10:32] <mdm_> Hello guys
[10:32] <francisv> w4|k3r: 17.10
[10:32] <w4|k3r> francisv: Is sudo apt install not working?
[10:32] <francisv> w4|k3r: what should be the name of the file?
[10:32] <francisv> I mean, I have make
[10:32] <francisv> it works fine
[10:32] <francisv> but no texinfo files
[10:32] <mdm_> can i upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 ? xubuntu ?
[10:33] <francisv> or well, better say, the info is not hte same as the page I sent
[10:33] <w4|k3r> francisv: Checking
[10:33] <SlidingHorn> francisv: sudo apt install texinfo
[10:33] <francisv> SlidingHorn: texinfo is in place
[10:33] <alfuadi> what is the best software for programming for beginner to make website
[10:33] <alfuadi> ?
[10:34] <francisv> if I do, `info make', a different document comes.  I would like to have https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html in Texinfo
[10:36] <francisv> In example, I have https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html in Texinfo
[10:36] <francisv> I would like to install the documentation of make in Texinfo as well
[10:37] <nikitha> i'm bipolar and wont stand on single word or decision for long time.i download pics/videos.i delete them and again urge of doing so happends everytime in my mind.
[10:37] <nikitha> In case i do collect download erotic stuff where i should put in online drive ? instead doing that,is it not good to store  "link of the content" rather than content itself.....call by reference (of online) but not call by value (on premesis), pointers POV of c langauge.despite content moves away , but atleast 20% remains avaibale atleast out of 100, what do u say ? Whatever might be reason i am following with trend of bigdata, cloud com
[10:37] <nikitha> puting, analytics, AI, automation, Machine & deep learning by doing this.
[10:37] <rollingubuntu> w4|k3r: thank you! would you happen to know what all those warning signs mean?
[10:37] <SlidingHorn> !ot | nikitha
[10:38] <Cheez> woo, -finally- got amdgpu working on 16.04. that shouldn't be so painful :(
[10:38] <mdm_> hi
[10:39] <SlidingHorn> mdm_: howdy...what can we try to help you with?
[10:40] <francisv> Probably a better formulated question is:  Anyone knows how to install Texinfo documentation for GNU make in Ubuntu 17.10?
[10:40] <w4|k3r> rollingubuntu: What warnings are you talking about?
[10:40] <mdm_> hm
[10:41] <mdm_> i asked before how can i upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 xubuntu
[10:42] <rollingubuntu> w4|k3r: the ubuntu wiki page you sent me, on the April section, every entry has a funny face like sign in front, if you hover over it will read "Warning"
[10:43] <guiverc> mdm_, 18.04 isn't strictly supported here until its release next thursday.  it's probably why no-one answered.  my box is doing what you want right now, but it's offtopic in this channel.
[10:44] <w4|k3r> rollingubuntu: Don't know for sure, but let me check
[10:45] <emachines> hi people
[10:45] <emachines> how are you?
[10:45] <guiverc> mdm_, you could always ask on #ubuntu-discuss, or #ubuntu+1  (which is 18.04)
[10:45] <emachines> is the moment?
[10:46] <SlidingHorn> emachines: do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[10:49] <emachines> no,i am not
[10:49] <SlidingHorn> !ot > emachines
[10:50] <emachines> where?
[10:50] <emachines> im paraguayan
[10:51] <tomreyn> !ot | emachines
[10:51] <emachines> ok
[10:52] <emachines> i have not very time
[10:52] <emachines> in class...
[10:56] <francisv> Is there a repository to easily install GNU Texinfo documentation in Ubuntu 17.10?  The documentation I refer to is: https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html
[11:00] <slow> hello everybody
[11:00] <slow> is ti possible to go from 18.04 beta 2 version to the new freeze?
[11:01] <tomreyn> francisv: just run "info" providing the package whose documentation you wish to read as an argument
[11:02] <ducasse> slow: just update, but 18.04 support is in #ubuntu+1
[11:02] <tomreyn> s/package/command/
[11:02] <slow> thank you ducasse
[11:02] <tomflint> is there a way to have caffeine activated on boot?
[11:03] <francisv> tomreyn: The answer to make questions was 'sudo apt install make-doc'
[11:04] <francisv> before that, 'info make' was showing other stuff, probably just the man page
[11:04] <francisv> a much reduced documentation
[11:07] <Haris> what pkg gives node binary on 14.04 ?

[11:47] <Guest62068> Hi all
[11:48] <vlt> Hello. I installed gphoto2 on Ubuntu 16.04. What tools are there to show fullscreen live video with low latency from my Canon DSLR?
[11:49] <vlt> I know darktable's preview but that's not fullscreen, I tried entangle but can't control camera settings while running in full screen mode, and I tried gphoto2's --stdout mode piped into ffplay with a much, much higher delay than the previously mentioned tools.
[11:49] <Guest62068> I'm having problems booting the new kernel, 4.13.0-38 on my laptop. Jumping back to 4.13.0-37 seems to work, but 4.13.0-38 just freezes. Anyone know how I debug this?
[11:49] <vlt> Any idea what I could use?
[11:50] <brainwash> Guest62068: I would test -39 which is in -proposed
[11:51] <Guest62068> brainwash: Hmm. Couldn't that potentially break a whole lot of other dependencies?
[11:52] <brainwash> Guest62068: like? it's just a newer kernel version, and you will keep the currently installed ones
[11:53] <Guest62068> brainwash: I'm more curious as to WHY it fails, and how to find out. Of course I can try the newer one as well
[11:53] <ioria> Guest62068, are you sure -38 is correctly installed ? dpkg -l | grep linux-image-[0-9]| grep ^ii
[11:53] <JimBuntu> Guest62068, I had been using mainline, switched back last night and updated to latest (same one you have) and have suffered odd and sudden lockups. I have went back to mainline this morning, no more issues yet. I have not attempted to diagnose yet
[11:53] <Guest62068> ioria: I removed it. I'll try reinstalling. Hold on
[11:54] <brainwash> Guest62068: I guess it helps to know if -39 has this issue also
[11:55] <brainwash> there is bug 1765110
[11:55] <ioria> Guest62068, maybe a micro-code issue : dmesg | grep -i Microcode
[11:57] <Guest62068> ioria: problem is, it freezes during boot. So I'm not able to check anything until i've rebooted
[11:57] <ioria> right
[11:58] <ioria> Guest62068,  but you can check if you have intel-microcode installed
[11:58] <Guest62068> ioria: Trying to reinstall with sudo aptitude install linux-image-4.13.0-30-generic
[11:59] <Guest62068> should've been 38 :P
[11:59] <Haris> guys, can we get a unified driver for php <-> mongodb work, one that works on 14.04 and 16.x all the same, with php 5.x and 7.x?
[11:59] <Guest62068> ioria: booting...
[12:00] <Haris> I'm having a problem. its working on centos, but not on ubuntu
[12:01] <Guest62068> ioria: Freezes totally, again. Can't even ctrl+f1 or similar. it's frozen solid
[12:02] <somebody> I have a http server hosted on my computer, now i want it to be available under a custom dns in a wifi hotspot. how do i do that?
[12:02] <ioria> Guest62068,  lost you .. what's the last cmd you issued ?
[12:03] <Guest62068> ioria: Gotta go. Meeting. thanks for trying though
[12:03] <ioria> ok
[12:04] <somebody> The hotspot is running already. I am on kubuntu.
[12:11] <paddy> Help! I mounted a dmg file onto my hdd and it wiped the whole drive. 256mg is the dmg partition and the rest of the 5tb is now "free space" how do I get my hdd back to normal/revcover files?
[12:14] <somebody> paddy: I have no idea, but seemingly it is hard to rescue data on ext3/ext4
[12:15] <paddy> the external hdd was ntfs
[12:18] <Cheez> data recovery on ntfs is expensive.
[12:18] <Cheez> getdataback for ntfs kind of works.
[12:19] <Cheez> who knows, the partition may be there still, have you looked in something like parted? or testdisk?
[12:19] <paddy> no, pretty new to linux.
[12:20] <Cheez> testdisk is all platforms, iirc. getdataback is a windows app for ntfs recovery
[12:20] <paddy> it seems like only 256mg is being used by the dmg mount and the rest says "free space" in disks
[12:20] <Cheez> i'd be ready to use your disaster recovery options though
[12:20] <Cheez> ie restore from backups
[12:21] <ducasse> Cheez: what do you mean you mounted it on your hdd? mounting does not erase data.
[12:21] <paddy> I just want to make sure that I've diagnosed the problem right first
[12:21] <paddy> yeah.
[12:21] <paddy> so
[12:21] <Cheez> ducasse: paddy, not me :)
[12:22] <ducasse> sorry :)
[12:22] <paddy> I had a dmg file used dmg2img and mounted it, I think it was a mac dmg because it said which drive would you want put this on (I think it said mount)
[12:23] <paddy> I chose my external hdd and now when I plug it in the only thing that shows up is HFS+ partition
[12:23] <ducasse> then you overwrote it, you did not mount it. it's important to be clear here.
[12:23] <ducasse> !recover
[12:24] <paddy> okay, wasn't sure what I did
[12:24] <paddy> so i did overwrite it?
[12:24] <ducasse> i would think so, from your description
[12:25] <ioria> paddy, if the system is ko , you need a livecd; mount the partition and check
[12:25] <paddy> ko?
[12:25] <JimBuntu> Knocked Out? as in not working?
[12:26] <ioria> yes
[12:26] <paddy> okay, what about testdisk?
[12:26] <ioria> paddy, yes, it's an option
[12:26] <paddy> the full 5tb appears in test disk. (I think this means it's mounted?)
[12:27] <ambrz> hi!
[12:33] <paddy> If disks is saying "free space" should I pick [none] as the partition table type?
[12:38] <JimBuntu> paddy, I can't wlk you through this whole process, but I would like to make a suggestion... 1) Do you have 10TB of free space elsewhere?
[12:39] <paddy> nah, no 10gb, using my brother's laptop with windows and using getdataback
[12:39] <paddy> looks alright atm
[12:39] <paddy> thanks thoughj
[12:40] <JimBuntu> Well, I was going to suggest you make an image of that 5TB drive, so that you couldn't risk losing any more of the data... then only work with the image in your data recovery. Glad to hear it looks like you are alright atm.
[12:42] <paddy> Thanks everyone! think I might have it back.
[12:42] <paddy> The thing now is that it's in two partitions HFS (primary) and NTFS (4.55tb)
[12:43] <JimBuntu> And do you see any of your old data in the NTFS partition?
[12:43] <paddy> yes, pretty much everything
[12:44] <skylake> 你好
[12:44] <JimBuntu> well that's good news.
[12:44] <skylake_> ooo
[12:45] <skylake> 他他他
[12:45] <skylake_> 你好好
[12:47] <ducasse> !cn | skylake_

[13:07] <liveuser> wh0ami did you give all of your secrets away?
[13:19] <liveuser> !dmcrypt
[13:19] <liveuser> it looks like it is writing
[13:20] <liveuser> though when opening it complains it is not a valid device
[13:34] <francisv> Which program to use to decrease the size of JPEG photo in Ubuntu 17.10?
[13:34] <hateball> francisv: there's plenty
[13:34] <hateball> francisv: you can use imagemagick if you want to script things
[13:35] <hateball> or you could use GIMP to to it with a GUI
[13:35] <hateball> or a number of other tools as well
[13:36] <freakynl> Hi, upon rebooting an ubuntu server not all services come up. They state they can't bind. Networking comes up eventually, but the networking service has an error: Apr 20 15:28:58 plesk.cepro.eu ifup[1120]: /sbin/ifup: waiting for lock on /run/network/ifstate.ens192

[13:36] <francisv> I will try GIMP
[13:36] <hateball> francisv: well GIMP has a simple resize function
[13:36] <leftyfb> !paste | freakynl
[13:36] <francisv> thanks for the recommendation, hateball
[13:36] <hateball> francisv: good luck :)
[13:37] <leftyfb> freakynl: your network interface isn't coming up
[13:37] <freakynl> It does run properly once I log in, both the v4 and v6 addresses are assigned. /run/network/ifstate.ens192 exists, but is empty.
[13:37] <leftyfb> or didn't during the time of that log
[13:37] <freakynl> It does come up thus, but the script has an error, /run/network/ifstate.ens192 is empty. Configuration has worked fine for a long time, started exhibiting this a while ago.
[13:38] <freakynl> there's static v6 config in the script, it also obtains a dynamic v6 however. Might that be causing it?
[13:39] <freakynl> well dynamic, via RA's, there's no dhcpv6
[13:42] <freakynl> Anything wrong with this interfaces file? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6Vd5mVZpnd/
[14:07] <BluesKaj> freakynl, afaik you don't need the auto lo and iface lo inet loopback for static IP
[14:08] <BluesKaj> unless you use network-manager
[14:09] <BluesKaj> then your static IP should be setup there
[14:11] <lasbr> Hey guys, I need some help... I'm a new using Ubuntu Mate.
[14:11] <lasbr> I would like to know if there is a command similar to msconfig in Ubuntu
[14:13] <BluesKaj> lasbr, there are lots of config files in ubuntu/linux , what do you want to edit?
[14:14] <jnewt> i have the ui software setting to download and install automatically.   however apt-get update & apt-get upgrade always shows lots of available upgrades.   how can i verify the system is actually downloading / installing updates (where is the log)?
[14:15] <genii> jnewt: /var/log/dpkg.log
[14:15] <jnewt> is there a way to show the release dates for upgrades in apt?
[14:15] <BluesKaj> jnewt, monitor  the terminal as apt updates and upgrades
[14:16] <pragmaticenigma> jnewt, by default unattended upgrades only installs packages from the main and security repos. Updates, proposed, and backports are not automatically upgraded
[14:17] <jnewt> yeah, it's doing some stuff in dpkg
[14:18] <BluesKaj> lasbr, depending on your Ubunru version, maybe ubuntu-tweak will work

[14:31] <markus_> i tried to reset the plymouth theme so now i get ubuntu spash screen on shutdown but not on boot up
[14:31] <SlidingHorn> markus_: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth   that will give you a list of screens to choose from
[14:32] <markus_> slidinghorn: i did that and chose /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
[14:33] <markus_> so now i get ubuntu spash screen on shutdown but not on boot up
[14:35] <freakynl> BluesKaj: thanks, no networkmanager. It doesn't error on the lo tho', but on ens192. Which functions fine by the time I can log on
[14:37] <sere> how do i run a command for everyone file in a directory recursivly
[14:37] <sere> everyfile
[14:38] <pragmaticenigma> sere, take a look at "find" with the -exec parameter
[14:38] <markus_> any help?
[14:38] <pragmaticenigma> !patience | markus_
[14:39] <markus_> ok
[14:40] <jnewt> pragmaticenigma, i have the Install updates from: Unsupported updates (xenial-backports) checked.   I also have  the ppa for golang (http://ppa.launchpad.net/longsleep/golang-backports/ubuntu xenial main) selected under Other Software and apt shows go needs to be updated.   why is it getting skipped?
[14:40] <SlidingHorn> markus_: do the update-alternatives again (just in case) and then   sudo update-intramfs -u
[14:41] <markus_> i have done 5-6 times choosing different thmes each time but every time shut down screen changes but not the boot up screen
[14:42] <jnewt> pragmaticenigma, actually apt has it listed (golang-go and golang-race-detector runtime and golang-src) under "The following packages have been kept back" .   Maybe there's a setting specific to that (altho ther are several others in both the "will be kept back" and the "will be upgraded" sections
[14:42] <SlidingHorn> markus_: did you do the update-intramfs -u   command?
[14:42] <markus_> i am trying to do it for an hour or so , tried different commands to remove gnome,reinstall unity but nothing worked
[14:43] <dprk> what desktop eniverment is best for touch screen?
[14:43] <markus_> yes i used update-intramfs -u and then rebooted each time to see the effect
[14:44] <dprk> i got a acer switch. i can take of keybord and use it as an "ipad"
[14:44] <dprk> running windows 10 on it now
[14:44] <markus_> is it a good option if i delete all themes and reinstall unity ?
[14:46] <SlidingHorn> markus_: please pastebin the .plymouth file for the theme you're selecting (should be in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/$themename/$themename.plymouth)
[14:48] <boboma> Hello. Question about autocomplete in the terminal: I get superuser with "sudo -i" then I login as user abc with "su - abc". In ubuntu 17.10 autocomplete used to work then. Now with ubuntu 18.04 autocomplete does not work anymore in this case. What to configure to get it back?
[14:49] <SlidingHorn> !beta | bobama
[14:49] <boboma> SlidingHorn, thanks but that does not answer my question
[14:49] <SlidingHorn> oops...wrong factoid...anyway try #ubuntu+1 for 18.04 support, boboma
[14:49] <boboma> ok
[14:49] <boboma> thx
[14:50] <markus_> https://pastebin.com/2E2B7MWL
[14:52] <SlidingHorn> markus_: how about your /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.script  file
[14:53] <markus_> https://pastebin.com/fTAz2kpj
[14:54] <pragmaticenigma> jnewt, packages being held back is usually for dependencies not being met, or the dependency change could break another application, or user intervention during the install may be required. Unattended upgrades makes a best effort to update all that it can, but if it reaches a conflict, even small ones, it will error on the side of caution and skip the update
[15:00] <Giant81> ok I have an ubuntu image appliance in GNS3, I'm trying to install 'etherwake' so I can use it to generate WoL packets
[15:00] <Giant81> but an 'apt-get install etherwake' isn't finding it at all
[15:00] <Giant81> E: Unable to locate package etherwake
[15:01] <Giant81> but I found it here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/etherwake.8.html
[15:01] <Giant81> which makes me wonder if I'm missing a repository or something
[15:01] <genii> Enable universe
[15:02] <Menzie> !info etherwake
[15:02] <genii> !info etherwake xenial
[15:02] <Giant81> oh thanks, let me go look at doing that
[15:03] <Giant81> hmmm it's uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:03] <Giant81> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe
[15:04]  * Menzie fights genii for the right to factoid first
[15:04] <Giant81> let me run an apt-get update and see if I can pull a fresh list
[15:08]  * tomreyn wonders what an "ubuntu image appliance" and "GNS3" are
[15:09] <laserbeak4445> If I decided to install the 18.04 test patch for the GNOME memory leak, should I let them installed if everything is fine or improved?
[15:09] <Giant81> GNS3 is a network simulation program, within it yo ucan download appliances for a whole range of things.  One of them that i've downloaded is an Ubuntu image
[15:09] <Giant81> I can run full ubuntu clients in a virtual network with virtual cisco gear running cisco IOS images
[15:10] <tomreyn> oh right, i heard about this before.
[15:10] <laserbeak4445> or leaving them on my system could maybe cause conflicts with future updates?
[15:10] <tomreyn> !18.04 | laserbeak4445
[15:10] <Giant81> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/FYuTQG1h/image.png
[15:11] <Giant81> I moved teh ubuntu box from teh SW1 to the NAT-1 so I could give it internet to download the etherwake package but I can't seem to get it to install through apt
[15:11] <Giant81> though it may not be ubuntu related, it could be the way they created the qemu image
[15:12] <jnewt> pragmaticenigma, ok, lets assume that one of those things is occurring (dependency change, dependency not met, user intervention required or conflict).   Where do I see the reason for a specific package not being updated automatically?
[15:12] <tomreyn> Giant81: does apt-cache search find it, apt-cache policy list it?
[15:12] <Giant81> no it doesn't I tried an 'apt-cache search etherwake' and got nothing
[15:13] <pragmaticenigma> jnewt, The logs are really the only thing I can think of that would indicate something was up. Otherwise, the occassional run of apt update && apt dist-upgrade is the only way to really know.
[15:13] <tomreyn> Giant81: that's after apt-get update?
[15:14] <pragmaticenigma> Giant81, what does "apt list etherwake"
[15:14] <Giant81> Listing... Done
[15:15] <tomreyn> Giant81: apt-cache policy | nc termbin.com 9999
[15:15] <Giant81> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/9Zu1QI44/
[15:16] <Giant81> bash: nc: command not found
[15:16] <Giant81> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/SL6JmTex/
[15:16] <tomreyn> Giant81: well, your network connectivity is broken, see lines 184-186 of https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/9Zu1QI44/
[15:16] <genii> Install netcat if you want to use nc command
[15:17] <Giant81> tomreyn: YEAH i saw that but thought that was just a few of the repositores not all of them
[15:17] <Giant81> though chacnes are it's because I'm at work
[15:18] <Giant81> genii, cant' install anything I don't think... hehe
[15:18] <Giant81> so I think all my problem are network related
[15:18] <tomreyn> Giant81: it is all of them
[15:18] <Giant81> I can't update the package list because I can't get out, and I can't install anything until I update the package list
[15:19] <tomreyn> correct
[15:19] <Giant81> I can ping out just fine, I just think the FW is blocking apt-get
[15:19] <tomreyn> dns seems to work, http seems to be blocked
[15:19] <genii> Yeah, looks like you're going to have to the process when you're not on a locked down network
[15:19] <tomreyn> could try https instead
[15:19] <Giant81> or just throw something at infosec and have them unblock me for a bit so I can get an update
[15:19] <Giant81> do you just put https in the sources.list?
[15:20] <Giant81> does apt handle ssl?
[15:20]  * Giant81 googles
[15:20] <tomreyn> yes, yes
[15:20] <tomreyn> but not all archive mirrors support it
[15:22] <Giant81> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/166917/etc-apt-sources-list-wont-accept-urls-with-https-connection yeah and it sounds like I'd need a package installed to do it too
[15:22] <Giant81> which I can't get with the current block... so I'll poke infosec
[15:22] <rud0lf> i want to ask experts before googling.. is it possible to make dual boot pendrive from two ubuntu .iso live cds?
[15:22] <rud0lf> i want 18.04 and 16.04
[15:23] <rud0lf> i'd like it to boot into selected livecd
[15:23] <Giant81> I'm by no means an expert
[15:23] <tomreyn> Giant81: i could be wrong, but i think apt-transports-https is installed by default nowadays (and i consider 16.04 to be 'nowadays')
[15:23] <Giant81> but I'm thinking dual partitions and a boot loader on the mbr that selects which you want?
[15:24] <Giant81> tomreyn: one way to find out
[15:24] <rud0lf> Giant81: yes :)
[15:24] <rud0lf> expert = anyone better than me
[15:24] <tomreyn> Giant81: dpkg -l apt-transport-https
[15:26] <Giant81> dpkg-query: no packages found matching apt-transport-https
[15:26] <pniemi4> moi
[15:26] <tomreyn> Giant81: okay, so i'm wrong i guess
[15:26] <Giant81> you very well may not be
[15:26] <pniemi4> finland
[15:27] <Giant81> this is an appliance created for GNS3, it could very well be stripped down to bare minimums
[15:27] <tomreyn> right
[15:27] <Giant81> I mean as soon as it is 'started' it comes up into a root prompt, no sudo, etc..
[15:27] <Giant81> I mean 'sudo' says not found so... yeah
[15:27] <pniemi4> sex
[15:27] <Giant81> bash: sudo: command not found
[15:28] <pniemi4> alax

[15:30] <pankaj> Hello, I have selected a wrong keyboard layout. The problem is that it is printing numeric and alphabets fine but problem with symbol. They are different. How to solve it.
[15:32] <tomreyn> pankaj: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
[15:33] <Giant81> hehe, silly security guys
[15:35] <pragmaticenigma> rud0lf, it is possible. For building on windows, you can go to Pendrivelinux.com and look up their YUMI builder.
[15:35] <rud0lf> i have no windows at all
[15:35] <pankaj> tomreyn: It shows a list. How to get information about the keyboard I am using so that I select the right one.
[15:35] <pragmaticenigma> must be very dark
[15:36] <pragmaticenigma> rud0lf, I just found this site, don't know much about it. But worth a look http://multibootusb.org/
[15:36] <rud0lf> thank you
[15:38] <tomreyn> pankaj: does it have a model # ?
[15:39] <pankaj> tomreyn: I did not understand?
[15:40] <tomreyn> pankaj: is this a laptop keyboard (integrated into the entire laptop enclosure), or a separate keyboard attached t your computer via a cable?
[15:41] <pankaj> tomreyn: Ya. I am using laptop.
[15:41] <pankaj> tomreyn: Toshiba
[15:41] <Sadegh> Helo
[15:42] <Sadegh> how can change the Date in ubuntu?
[15:42] <tomreyn> pankaj: your precise laptop model is usually printed on the bottom of your laptop. it should give away the localization.
[15:42] <ntd> "date" command
[15:42] <ntd> ntpdate <IP_ADDRESS> ; hwclock -w
[15:42] <ntd> or through gnome/kde/etc
[15:43] <pankaj> tomreyn: OK. Done successfully.
[15:43] <Sadegh> thanks
[15:43] <Sadegh> ntd
[15:44] <pankaj> tomreyn: I just forgot some commands which helped me to get information about my system.
[15:44] <pankaj> tomreyn: That was why some problems as some questions I know were silly.
[15:46] <kruug> Hello.  I'm trying to install a .deb file (well, 2 actually) and I'm having some unmet dependencies.  I'm trying to install python-gnome2 and freeglut3 on Artful, but apt says they're not available.  According to packages.ubuntu.com, however, they're included for this release.
[15:47] <kruug> How do I fix this?
[15:48] <Sadegh> ntd i have a error : 20 Apr 15:47:05 ntpdate[7147]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[15:48] <SlidingHorn> kruug: there's no python-gnome2 package in Artful
[15:48] <ntd> is ntp/ntpd running?
[15:49] <kruug> SlidingHorn: https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/python-gnome2
[15:49] <Sadegh> yes
[15:49] <kruug> Oh, hey.  Bottom has download buttons.  I'll try those.
[15:49] <ntd> is ntp/ntpd running?
[15:49] <Sadegh> ntp
[15:50] <pragmaticenigma> kruug, no
[15:50] <Sadegh> 20 Apr 15:47:05 ntpdate[7147]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
[15:50] <tomreyn> kruug: that's not how you should go about this
[15:50] <Sadegh> apt install ntpdate
[15:50] <SlidingHorn> kruug: my apologies, it wasn't coming up on my search...  so what happens if you   sudo apt install python-gnome2 ?
[15:50] <pragmaticenigma> kruug, do not direct download... the top of the page for downloads tells you the same thing as this... use the package manager
[15:50] <leftyfb> kruug: sudo apt install python-gnome2
[15:51] <kruug> SlidingHorn: "Package python-gnome2 is not available, but it is referred to by another package"
[15:51] <kruug> If only it would tell me which package...
[15:51] <leftyfb> Sadegh: you have something listening on NTP's port
[15:51] <leftyfb> kruug: do you have the universe repository enabled?
[15:51] <kruug> leftyfb: see my response to SlidingHorn
[15:51] <tomreyn> kruug: if installing packages the 'normal' way (through apt and its various frontends), then fix the issue which prevents it and do not resort to 'hacks'.
[15:52] <leftyfb> kruug: do you have the universe repository enabled?
[15:52] <kruug> leftyfb: checking now
[15:52] <leftyfb> kruug: also, why do you think you need it?
[15:53] <Sadegh> leftyfb: What Port Number of NTP
[15:53] <Sadegh> ?
[15:53] <kruug> leftyfb: because when I install the .deb file I'm installing, it says it can't install due to unmet dependencies, and when I go to `sudo apt upgrade` it tells me that's the dependency.
[15:53] <theGoat> 123 is ntp
[15:53] <NotLim> 123 ?
[15:53] <theGoat> udp that is
[15:53] <kruug> leftyfb: yup, that was it...Universe wasn't enabled.
[15:53] <tomreyn> Sadegh: why are you trying to manually set your system time, if i may ask?
[15:54] <kruug> ...
[15:54] <kruug> `--fix-broken-install is not understood`
[15:54] <tomreyn> Sadegh: is ti because the current time is wrong, or because you are trying to (temporarily?) set an incorrect time on purpose?
[15:54] <kruug> `sudo apt --fix-broken-install`
[15:55] <SlidingHorn> kruug: if you're trying to install the deb after it had unresolved dependencies, you need to dpkg -r appname first then dpkg -i file.deb
[16:03] <kruug> why doesn't ubuntu come with VIM preinstalled?
[16:04] <SlidingHorn> kruug: presumably because nano is installed by default and it's easier to use for newer folks - easy to grab from the repos though :)
[16:08] <That_Guy_Anon> i have a friend where after logging into ubuntu no user-interface loads. we tried the following things already: https://pastebin.com/8Qj4mGX9
[16:13] <imbezol> hello. just installed ubuntu 17.10 server. it assumes a dhcp config but i would like to configure it static. tried /etc/network/interfaces but found it doesn't respect it. read up on systemd-netowrkd and created a .network file for the interface, but it's not respecting that either. can someone point me at some documentation on how to configure a static address?
[16:14] <sheng__> 44545
[16:15] <sheng__> where are you?
[16:15] <sheng__> who are you?
[16:18] <fatu> go on /etc/network/interfaces
[16:18] <SlidingHorn> sheng__: do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[16:20] <fatu> auto interface
[16:20] <imbezol> https://websiteforstudents.com/configuring-static-ips-ubuntu-17-10-servers/
[16:20] <imbezol> this seems to work
[16:24] <SlidingHorn> That_Guy_Anon: so what *does* happen when you log in?
[16:24] <That_Guy_Anon> SlidingHorn, she logs in but nothing loads, just the blank background
[16:27] <SlidingHorn> That_Guy_Anon: any errors in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log or  /var/log/Xorg.*.log
[16:27] <SlidingHorn> That_Guy_Anon: also, which version and flavor of ubuntu are you using?
[16:27] <That_Guy_Anon> 16.04 just normal ubuntu.
[16:28] <ImageJPEG> So I've setup a nas with 16.04 (server obviously) and it doesn't seem to be taking the v6 address on eno1. I'm able to dual stack on eno2. Another thing, I can't ping the v4 address on eno1. I'll post the interfaces file
[16:28] <ImageJPEG> https://ghostbin.com/paste/oyqoe
[16:29] <ImageJPEG> I don't understand why the networking file has to be this complicated. Especially when compared to OpenBSD.
[16:30] <leftyfb> that's not complicated
[16:30] <leftyfb> that looks like the exact amount of information you need for interfaces
[16:30] <ImageJPEG> Well eno1 is having issues :/
[16:31] <ImageJPEG> It's not taking the v6 address and I can't ping the v4 address from other machines
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> This is literally the OpenBSD file for a specific interface:
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> https://ghostbin.com/paste/oyqoe
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> damnit
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> hold on
[16:32] <leftyfb> ImageJPEG: since I have no experience with ipv6, I would disable that interface and start troubleshooting eno1's ipv4
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> inet <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> inet6 2001:470:c3c4::1 64
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> up
[16:32] <ImageJPEG> dns settings are in a seperate file
[16:33] <eriksays> anyone familiar with bash? I have a bash script that restarts a service if it stops running — but it’s only ‘working’ if I run it in the directory the script is located in: https://pastebin.com/1YTPPFE4
[16:33] <ImageJPEG> And no matter what, I can't seem to reset the network interface. I also have to keep restarting the machine for the network settings to take affect.
[16:33] <StrangeNoises> trick with ipv6 is to get a router that does it right, then everything works automatically at the client and you should't have to touch it
[16:34] <ImageJPEG> I'd rather use a v6 address I give to it. I have an OpenBSD v6 router (v4/v6 HE tunnel)
[16:34] <mancman3> ImageJPEG: for changes to take affect just run sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service instead of rebooting
[16:35] <That_Guy_Anon> SlidingHorn, we ended up just installing gnome :D
[16:35] <ImageJPEG> I've done that before and it either locks me out and I can't ssh into it or I receive an error, but I suppose I'll try again
[16:35] <That_Guy_Anon> SlidingHorn, thanks for the help anyway
[16:36] <ImageJPEG> Failed to restart network-manager.service: Unit network-manager.service not found.

[16:44] <ramsub07> Hi, i want to create a directory in /data/eHd/. i use sudo to create, so it's also owned by root. I want to transfer to a particular user (who's sudoer) and make it readable and writable only to him. how to go about?
[16:45] <SlidingHorn> ramsub07: why not just create it in their home directory?
[16:46] <ramsub07> it's SSD in home directory, which has space constraint
[16:46] <ramsub07> in /data/eHD it's HDD, has ampful data
[16:46] <Gargravarr> ramsub07: chown -R <username>:<group> /data/eHD
[16:47] <SlidingHorn> ramsub07: why would you have loaded the /home/ partition on the smaller SSD and the / partition on the larger HDD?
[16:47] <Gargravarr> SlidingHorn: sounds like he has the boot disk on the SSD, and the HDD is external
[16:47] <ramsub07> because SSD is faster to load OS?
[16:47] <ramsub07> isn't that standard ? or uncommon?
[16:47] <Gargravarr> ramsub07: yes, that's pretty standard practise
[16:47] <SlidingHorn> ramsub07: you'd want your / partition on the SSD then
[16:48] <leftyfb> ramsub07: you could mount the drive in the users home directory
[16:49] <leftyfb> ramsub07: if you need it mounted in 2 places, you could bind mount one of them
[16:49] <Gargravarr> leftyfb: the permissions will have to be set manually by root wherever he mounts it
[16:49] <leftyfb> yup
[16:49] <leftyfb> step #1 though
[16:49] <leftyfb> if it is only used for the user, mount it appropriately
[16:50] <Gargravarr> ah, i missed 'only'
[16:50] <leftyfb> and in that case, mount it with the users permissions
[16:51] <Gargravarr> yeah, that way is cleaner for multiple mounts and unmounts
[16:53] <ImageJPEG> https://ghostbin.com/paste/dcsh6
[16:54] <ImageJPEG> Where in the world is the "messages" log file?
[16:54] <Gargravarr> ImageJPEG: /var/log/messages
[16:54] <ImageJPEG> Not on my server...
[16:55] <Gargravarr> ah, looks like an embedded distro, may not be Debian-based
[16:55] <nacc> ImageJPEG: /var/log/messages doesn't exist in some cases
[16:55] <ImageJPEG> :/
[16:55] <Gargravarr> you're on your own if that's the case
[16:55] <ImageJPEG> Gargravarr, who, me?
[16:56] <Gargravarr> yeah, not meant in a nasty way
[16:56] <leftyfb> ImageJPEG: /var/log/syslog
[16:56] <leftyfb> ImageJPEG: if you're looking for auth, it's auth.log
[16:56] <nacc> ImageJPEG: as leftyfb said, syslog is where messages goes nowadays
[16:56] <ImageJPEG> I do have syslog
[16:56] <ImageJPEG> I'm trying to find why eno1 doesn't work
[16:57] <Gargravarr> huh, i had no idea /var/log/messages had been deprecated, it's gone from my Ubuntu laptop too
[16:57] <leftyfb> it's been gone for years
[16:57] <Gargravarr> ImageJPEG: try ifconfig en01 down/up rather than ifdown/up
[16:57] <leftyfb> at least 3 or 4 years, longer I think
[16:57] <Gargravarr> the ifdown/up wrapper scripts have often failed for me
[16:58] <ImageJPEG> Gargravarr, I'll try that but here's what I found in my log:
[16:58] <ImageJPEG> https://ghostbin.com/paste/trn8w
[16:59] <DanniBetts> In Thunar is it possible to disable the "Delete file" entry so that files are always deleted via trash? Otherwise a user can accidentally delete a file permanently and not be able to recover it from trash
[16:59] <Anthaas> How do I force wget to use https?
[17:01] <ImageJPEG> This doesn't make any freaking sense
[17:01] <Gargravarr> eriksays: rather than using a bash script, you might want to look into either supervisord (for small use cases) or writing it as a systemd service. both are capable of restarting a service if it suddenly stops
[17:01] <SlidingHorn> Anthaas: If you provide it a TLS-enabled address, it should use that
[17:02] <Gargravarr> Anthaas: ^ as SlidingHorn says, wget should error out if it cannot start an SSL connection. it won't 'fall back' to HTTP by default
[17:02] <Anthaas> So, as long as my URL is "https://....." Im fine?
[17:02] <Gargravarr> yep
[17:02] <Anthaas> Cheers
[17:03] <Chryzo> Good morning, my ubuntu desktop refuses to resolves my internal servers if i use the FQDN. Any pointers?
[17:03] <ImageJPEG> check your dns server?
[17:03] <leftyfb> Chryzo: what DNS server is your ubuntu desktop using?
[17:03] <Gargravarr> DanniBetts: not that i'm aware of. you could swap in Nautilus or another file manager instead, many of them don't have the 'permanently delete' option in the right-click menu
[17:04] <Chryzo> The ones from the network, the same as the windows machines :)
[17:04] <leftyfb> Chryzo: how did you confirm that?
[17:04] <Gargravarr> Chryzo: from the command line, try 'nslookup <your FQDN> <IP of your DNS server>'
[17:04] <Chryzo> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[17:05] <Chryzo> nslookup resolves properly
[17:05] <Gargravarr> interesting, resolv.conf shouldn't point to external DNS in current distros. did you modify it yourself?
[17:05] <leftyfb> Chryzo: you've got multiple nameservers specified? Do all of these nameservers have the ability to lookup local hostnames?
[17:06] <Chryzo> Gargravarr, i modified it from the default of <IP_ADDRESS> to the DNS servers internal to the environment.
[17:06] <leftyfb> Chryzo: having multiple DNS servers specified, especially if 1 is local and the other is public will cause problems when looking up local hosts
[17:06] <Chryzo> Yes, all configured dns servers can resolve the internal domain
[17:06] <Chryzo> And all configured DNS are internal
[17:07] <leftyfb> Chryzo: try: host <hostname> <dns server ip>
[17:07] <Chryzo> All my ubuntu server work fine with that config. But for some reason the desktop i just installed does not. The main difference is that that one is on dhcp...
[17:07] <Gargravarr> Chryzo: same Ubuntu version on both? or are the servers older/not using systemd?
[17:07] <Chryzo> all on 16.04
[17:08] <Chryzo> even my centos servers work properly too
[17:08] <leftyfb> Chryzo: try: host <hostname> <dns server ip>
[17:08] <Chryzo> host servername dnsIP resolves properly
[17:08] <leftyfb> ok, now without dnsIP
[17:08] <Chryzo> host desktopname dnsIP fails horribly but that is normal :) the linux box is not in the DNS
[17:09] <Chryzo> host hostname     and host fqdn    work
[17:09] <leftyfb> ok, so what's the problem then?
[17:10] <Chryzo> ping hostname     works              ping fqdn fails
[17:10] <Gargravarr> last thing (from me) to try, systemd-resolve <hostname>
[17:10] <Chryzo> and because ping fqdn fails, ... my connection to the ldap server fails
[17:10] <leftyfb> Chryzo: got an entry in /etc/hosts ?
[17:10] <ImageJPEG> wtf, I'm telling avahi-daemon to stop and systemctl still reports it as running
[17:10] <Chryzo> systemd works with hostname and fqdn
[17:11] <Gargravarr> ImageJPEG: time to bring out the kill-9 shotgun
[17:11] <Chryzo> leftyfb, only entries i have are the localhost, desktopname and the default ipv6 ones
[17:11] <leftyfb> Chryzo: nmcli device show|grep DNS
[17:12] <ImageJPEG> nope, systemd keeps restarting it
[17:12] <Chryzo> shows all my internal DNS (one more than what I have in the resolv.conf file)
[17:12] <ImageJPEG> Everytime I kill -9 it, systemd shows a new pid for it
[17:12] <leftyfb> Chryzo: all should be able to lookup the local hostname?
[17:12] <leftyfb> Chryzo: is it only ping that fails? host seems to work, as does systemd
[17:13] <Chryzo> ping and the ldap client
[17:13] <Chryzo> and ldapsearch
[17:13] <Gargravarr> that's bizarre, i could understand the FQDN working and short name not, but not the inverse
[17:13] <Gargravarr> i assume because you can't use the FQDN, SSL is failing
[17:14] <ImageJPEG> There, I renamed avahi-daemon to avahi-daemon.dumbfuck and now systemd can't turn it on lol
[17:14] <Chryzo> i could understand fqdn not working if by mistake the system was adding the default search domain by mistake. But since ping www.google.com works...
[17:14] <Gargravarr> ImageJPEG: playing whack-a-mole? :)
[17:14] <ImageJPEG> pretty much
[17:14] <Chryzo> Gargravarr, well, SSL fails if I use the ldap server name because the CN does not match the cert. But if I use the fqdn, it actually fails to connect completely
[17:15] <ImageJPEG> systemd really want's that avahi-daemon turned on no matter what
[17:15] <Chryzo> telnet hostname works   telnet fqdn fails
[17:15] <Gargravarr> Chryzo: that's what i thought
[17:15] <Chryzo> telnet: could not resolve fqdn/389: Name or service not known
[17:15] <leftyfb> Chryzo: can you try using host on all of your DNS server ip's?
[17:15] <Gargravarr> hang on a minute, are things like ping and telnet actually resolving?
[17:15] <leftyfb> no
[17:16] <ImageJPEG> I'd really love to know why eno1 is not wanting to pick up the address I'm trying to give to it
[17:16] <Chryzo> hmmm, do you know the equivalent of host on a windows box hahaha ?
[17:16] <Chryzo> Gargravarr, ping and telnet resolve hostname.  My DNS servers are windows boxes
[17:17] <Gargravarr> Chryzo: right. just had the idea that your DNS was somehow returning a different IP and the utilities were trying to connect to something that wasn't there
[17:17] <ImageJPEG> The only reason why I'm using Ubuntu is because on my VM host, I can use lxc containers, otherwise, I'd used FreeBSD/OpenBSD for everything just to get as far away from systemd as possible
[17:18] <leftyfb> Chryzo: ok, run "host <server.fqdn> <nameserver>"  for all of your nameservers on your ubuntu host
[17:18] <ImageJPEG> Plus, on my nas, samba and netatalk seem to be better supported
[17:18] <ImageJPEG> with Ubuntu
[17:18] <leftyfb> ImageJPEG: please stay on topic
[17:19] <Chryzo> leftyfb, they all resolve to the proper IP
[17:20] <leftyfb> Chryzo: that makes no sense that they work with host but not ping
[17:20] <ImageJPEG> Here's my ifconfig output: https://ghostbin.com/paste/2xoz7
[17:20] <ImageJPEG> Here's my interfaces file: https://ghostbin.com/paste/hnq4h
[17:20] <anchnk> hi, does anybody succeeded to create a cron task for sending notifications through libnotify ? (using notify-send)
[17:20] <Chryzo> seems to be similar to https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27106598/DNS-resolving-works-for-short-name-doesn't-for-FQDN.html  as far as i can tell
[17:20] <anchnk> I tried almost every answers from Stack Overflow without any success
[17:20] <anchnk> Ubuntu LTS
[17:20] <leftyfb> anchnk: export DISPLAY=:0
[17:21] <anchnk> leftyfb would you place that in the script or in the crontab line ?
[17:21] <leftyfb> anchnk: either should work
[17:21] <anchnk> let me try
[17:23] <anchnk> added * * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 notify-send 'test' 'this is a test' using crontab -e but no luck
[17:24] <leftyfb> anchnk: probably make more sense to put it in your script
[17:24] <Gargravarr> iirc, cron resets the path?
[17:24] <Gargravarr> might need to set the full path to notify-send
[17:25] <anchnk> I think I already tried that too but I am going to give it another try
[17:25] <Gargravarr> you definitely need the DISPLAY variable setting
[17:25] <anchnk> if I do have 2 monitors plugged in does it change the value of DISPLAY ?
[17:25] <leftyfb> anchnk: you definitely need to put the full path
[17:26] <Gargravarr> anchnk: no, they both count as DISPLAY:0
[17:26] <leftyfb> anchnk: also make sure this cron is your users cron. Not root
[17:27] <Gargravarr> yes, were you running crontab -e as yourself or as root?
[17:27] <anchnk> as myself
[17:27] <anchnk> no sudo
[17:27] <anchnk> crontab -l gives * * * * * /home/username/notify.sh
[17:28] <anchnk> notify.sh is just the export and /usr/bin/notify-send 'test' 'this is a test' on the line after
[17:28] <anchnk> does it works for you out of the box ?
[17:28] <eriksays> Gargravarr: thanks for the suggestion — will look into
[17:35] <kappa1> How can I install the latest kernel on ubuntu ?
[17:36] <genii> !mainline | kappa1
[17:37] <anchnk> ok so the script is triggered
[17:38] <anchnk> I wrote to a file to see if it was
[17:38] <anchnk> so the problem is with the notification
[17:38] <genii> kappa1: However, if you install one of these kernels, it may make it difficult to track down what part of the system is causing issues, when they happen.
[17:42] <anchnk> some ppl says it's related to DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable
[17:45] <Chryzo> so switching to fixed ip does not resolve the issue. Now could it be because windows and linux don't handle root domain .local the same way ? my fqdn is server.domain.local
[17:47] <kappa1> thnaks
[17:53] <anchnk> ok so yeah it's related to he less of that env variable
[17:55] <kruug> Argh...installed Ubuntu to a USB drive, and then tried install CUDA again, but now it's flickering between the loading screen and errors.
[17:55] <kruug> I can move to another terminal (ctrl+alt+F2) but within 15 seconds it switches me back to the error screen
[17:56] <Chryzo> so as an fyi in the nsswitch file, in the hosts: section, mdns4_minimal can actually cause the issue experienced with being unable to resolve names properly....
[17:57] <kruug> What DM does Ubuntu use?  GDM?
[17:57] <rud0lf> "transitional package for qupzilla"
[17:57] <rud0lf> what does it mean?
[17:58] <rud0lf> oh
[17:58] <rud0lf> nvm, found the issue
[17:59] <tomreyn> kruug: lightdm by default
[18:00] <kruug> Hmm.  [FAILED] Failed to start Cryptography Setup for cryptswap1
[18:03] <rud0lf> i want to install pepperflashplugin-nonfree for falcon (aka qupzilla).. will it collide with adobe flashplugin installed for firefox?
[18:03] <kruug> It goes through the orange/white dot thing 1.5 times, and then flickers with that error
[18:07] <rud0lf> it didn't, phew
[18:15] <ash_worksi> can I keep all my user files in place and reinstall ubuntu?
[18:18] <pragmaticenigma> ash_worksi, if your home directory is in a separate partition, they will not be touched. Otherwise, you can back up your home directory to an external drive. After installation, you can copy the contents back to the home directory, log out and log back in, and everything will have been restored.
[18:19] <ash_worksi> mkay, that's what I'm the process of doing right now
[18:20] <pragmaticenigma> ash_worksi, the only issue I have run into is when a configuration file is missing newer feature settings
[18:23] <ash_worksi> this sux
[18:26] <pragmaticenigma> ash_worksi, would need more details to know what we can do to help
[18:27] <ash_worksi> pragmaticenigma: I accidentally uninstalled python and everything that went with it
[18:27] <ash_worksi> now trying to reinstall missing components has thrown a bunch of errors
[18:27] <ash_worksi> likely because I had already reinstalled some things
[18:27] <ash_worksi> most of my apps work clunkily
[18:28] <ash_worksi> but the most furstrating of all is docker throws errors every so often
[18:28] <ash_worksi> (not all the time)
[18:28] <ash_worksi> waiting for stuff to copy is kind of painful >.<
[18:29] <pragmaticenigma> ash_worksi, yep, i can understand. I would wait for the copy to finish before doing anything else on your machine. hopefully the removal of python hasn't interferred too much with that process
[18:30] <ash_worksi> mildly concerned I have started this process without formatting and am just running cp -RL ..
[18:30] <brygphilomena> can't you install any missing dependencies (ie python) with apt-get install -f ?
[18:30] <pragmaticenigma> ash_worksi, with the back up method, when you install fresh, I'd recommend considering a partition mounted as /home. That way in the future, you can install fresh and still keep your home directory (during install you just tell the setup tool to reuse the /home partition.)
[18:30] <ash_worksi> which I am irritated about because when I ^C and then attempted to format and it said the drive was busy
[18:31] <ash_worksi> brygphilomena: no
[18:31] <ash_worksi> :P
[18:31] <ash_worksi> because i get errors
[18:31] <pragmaticenigma> ash_worksi, if rsync is stil functioning, that might be a better option for copying. As you can cancel and restart without starting over
[18:31] <ash_worksi> rsync to a usb drive?
[18:32] <pragmaticenigma> I do it all the time. I rsync a podcast folder on my PC to the USB drive every morning.
[18:33] <ash_worksi> well, the drive is brand new, I just popped it in there; doesn't that need to be formatted correctly to be used with rsync anyway?
[18:34] <brygphilomena> womp womp.
[18:34] <ash_worksi> I mean, I might try -f... I didn't try -f before
[18:34] <brygphilomena> yea. try -f
[18:34] <simen> hello
[18:34] <brygphilomena> it's fix, i believe
[18:35] <ash_worksi> I guess I'll wait for stuff to back up first though
[18:35] <Chryzo> I feel like this is very stupid, but how do I login via the GUI as a non local user ? I have the choice between my temporary account, a guest account and that is it
[18:36] <ash_worksi> Chryzo: like ssh?
[18:36] <ash_worksi> oh
[18:36] <ash_worksi> gui
[18:37] <teward> Chryzo: what do you mean by a 'non local user'?
[18:37] <ash_worksi> I don't know what you mean by non local user
[18:37] <Chryzo> An LDAP / Active Directory user
[18:37] <leftyfb> Chryzo: so every desktop should assume people at home have an LDAP server?
[18:37] <Sky7> Hi
[18:37] <brygphilomena> https://askubuntu.com/questions/491511/14-04-desktop-ldap-login
[18:38] <Chryzo> leftyfb, no, but I configured SSSD, the machine is in the AD domain... now the question is how do I use the AD creds to logon. (I can kinit <user>)
[18:38] <brygphilomena> Looks like you have to configure it to let you
[18:38] <brygphilomena> sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-manlogin.conf
[18:38] <brygphilomena> [SeatDefaults]
[18:38] <brygphilomena> greeter-show-manual-login=true
[18:38] <Chryzo> let's try that
[18:39] <leftyfb> Chryzo: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/sssd-ad.html
[18:39] <Chryzo> leftyfb, that is the one i used
[18:40] <leftyfb> Chryzo: and you didn't try the solution for "Desktop Ubuntu Authentication" at the very end of the page?
[18:40] <Chryzo> grrr typo
[18:42] <brygphilomena> leftyfb, I've missed sections like that so easy when reading. I can't hold it against him
[18:43] <CarlFK> what are the 2 sides of avahi called?    so that I can better ask a question about one side not working
[18:43] <Anthaas> I have a file that has a character in it that doesn't load correctly. How can I rm it?
[18:43] <Anthaas> I can't copy/paste it, it doesn't work.
[18:43] <ash_worksi> why do I get cannot stat '...': No such file or directory during a cp -RL ?
[18:43] <ash_worksi> oh
[18:43] <CarlFK> Anthaas: file or fiilname?
[18:43] <Anthaas> And there are more than that one match up to the point of the illegal character
[18:43] <ash_worksi> cus the link does respove probably
[18:44] <ash_worksi> yes
[18:44] <Anthaas> CarlFK: It contains the phrase "or Destruction"
[18:44] <CarlFK> Anthaas: sounds like filename.  are you at a prompt?   hitting tab tab should give you a hint what to type next.
[18:44] <brygphilomena> Anthaas, can you type the first letter and hit tab until it chooses the file you want?
[18:45] <Anthaas> CarlFK: Oh it is, sorry. yeahm I am. If i hit tab repeatedly, it just shows me all possible matches.
[18:45] <CarlFK> Anthaas: it should show you the \foo escaped char whatever it is called.  that, hit tab, might be all you need.
[18:46] <brygphilomena> i'd probably rename it
[18:46] <Anthaas> CarlFK: I am hitting tab, but it just shows me all possible matches - nothing gets added to the prompt.
[18:46] <Anthaas> brygphilomena: How, if you can't get the original name into the prompt?
[18:47] <Anthaas> (Im working from command line here btw)
[18:47] <CarlFK> Anthaas: you need to type more chars - look for your name in the list of matches to see what to type next
[18:47] <brygphilomena> use mv and then type as much as you can and hit tab to have it fill in the rest
[18:48] <CarlFK> brygphilomena: "special char" is blocking the "type as much..." bit
[18:48] <Chryzo> Darn:    pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user
[18:48] <Anthaas> The file is named: De<INVALID CHAR>
[18:48] <Anthaas> There are many files beginning De
[18:48] <Anthaas> So hitting tab isn't working.
[18:49] <Anthaas> I cannot type <INVALID CHAR>
[18:49] <CarlFK> Anthaas: type \<
[18:49] <CarlFK> that's how you type a <
[18:50] <Anthaas> ...
[18:50] <Borw3> Or how about puting name in a string '<whatever>'
[18:50] <Anthaas> It isn't literally <INVALID CHAR>
[18:50] <brygphilomena> try de\ and hit tab
[18:50] <Anthaas> Its �%81
[18:50] <Borw3> LOL
[18:50] <Anthaas> Or at least, that is how it is rendering for me...
[18:51] <CarlFK> Anthaas: if you can cut/paste that here, did you try pasting into the prompt?  like ls -l �%81
[18:51] <brygphilomena> is that what you see when you type ls?
[18:52] <Anthaas> Yes
[18:52] <Anthaas> and yes
[18:52] <Anthaas> As I said, copy/pasting doesn't work...
[18:54] <brygphilomena> try holding control and shift
[18:54] <brygphilomena> and type ufffd
[18:55] <rud0lf> i want to disable webcam (it works until reboot) with "echo "0" > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-3/bConfigurationValue", and the web page suggest to add it to /etc/rc.local .. however, there is no such file, should i create it? or use something else?
[18:55] <rud0lf> it has to be run with root
[18:56] <Anthaas> Fixed it.
[18:56] <Anthaas> rm "$(ls De* | head -1)"
[18:56] <brygphilomena> yea?
[18:56] <brygphilomena> lol
[19:00] <ash_worksi> I have so much crap that is just copies of crap because I'm always paranoid I'm gonna loose something
[19:00] <ash_worksi> irnoically, I still loose stuff
[19:01] <brygphilomena> my problem is I go back to my documents and wonder why the hell I saved stuff
[19:04] <oerheks> pebkac, brygphilomena, not an ubuntu issue
[19:08] <ash_worksi> suppose, just suppose, that it takes a long time to cp 3 files in a dir... files A B and C
[19:08] <ash_worksi> whilst cp is copying B, can you ls -u the directory and see different atimes between B and C?
[19:16] <ash_worksi> was that too stupid of a question to deserve a response?
[19:17] <donofrio> ash_worksi, just lurk around for a few hours and someone will be around with a answer to your question
[19:18] <ash_worksi> I know, that was me kinda just poking
[19:18] <pragmaticenigma> ash_worksi, you can, however every time you call those functions it can delay the copy
[19:18] <ash_worksi> oic
[19:18] <ash_worksi> how about find -atime < now or something?
[19:19] <ash_worksi> will that delay a the cp?
[19:19] <ash_worksi> probably I would assme
[19:19] <ash_worksi> since I assume the delay comes from stating which find has to do to all files regardless of -atime
[19:28] <Scenick> Hello. I'd like to telnet BlackFlag BBS using RIPTel. Is there anything that would let me use it's RIP interface? Thanks
[19:31] <ubuntu_ftw> Hello, all. I just set up a manually partitioned encrypted xubuntu install. I had to create the encrypted partitions manually, or the installer failed. So at this point everything installed fine, but I cannot boot because the root partition cannot be mounted (booting drops me to a busybox shell)
[19:31] <ubuntu_ftw> how do I tell grub to mount my encrypted partitions?
[19:31] <ubuntu_ftw> If it helps, this is my partitioning scheme: https://imgur.com/a/bbk5FAs
[19:36] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw, you specified the /mount point ?
[19:37] <ubuntu_ftw> ioria: in the install you mean? If so, yes
[19:38] <ubuntu_ftw> *installer
[19:38] <ubuntu_ftw> I think grub only knows about the ext4 partition though, not the LUKS partition it is contained within
[19:38] <cmm11> /etc/default/grub is likely what you'll need to edit
[19:39] <ubuntu_ftw> and I know next to nothing about grub
[19:39] <ubuntu_ftw> okay cmm11
[19:39] <ubuntu_ftw> I have messed with that to change the boot screen timeout, but that is about it =P
[19:39] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  let's paste it
[19:39] <cmm11> also why have home on a external device ?
[19:40] <ubuntu_ftw> I am using an acer aspire 1, which has 32GB of internal emmc storage
[19:40] <cmm11> ah
[19:40] <ubuntu_ftw> I can copy/paste the grub but I will need to boot my laptop to a live ubuntu, it'll be a second
[19:41] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  paste also   sudo parted -l
[19:41] <ubuntu_ftw> ok ioria
[19:41] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  but i assume the aumatyic luks partitioning failed ?
[19:42] <ioria> *automatic
[19:42] <ubuntu_ftw> ioria: yes it did, that is why I went the manual route
[19:42] <ioria> yep
[19:42] <ubuntu_ftw> a finicky beast, that automatic luks support =P
[19:43] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  i thought it was solved ...
[19:45] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  can you (in theory) boot in bios mode (not efi, i mean)  ?
[19:46] <ubuntu_ftw> ioria: probably, the firmware would need to support compatibility mode right?
[19:46] <ubuntu_ftw> I could check if I end up needing to go that route
[19:46] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  sy, idk that acer aspire 1 in details
[19:47] <ubuntu_ftw> ioria: here is parted -l output: https://pastebin.com/5Z2qvvyE
[19:47] <cmm11> paste /etc/default/grub  too"
[19:47] <ubuntu_ftw> and /etc/default/grub: https://pastebin.com/kUR2RXdZ
[19:48] <ubuntu_ftw> there cmm11 =P
[19:48] <cmm11> yeah #11 is wrong
[19:48] <ubuntu_ftw> do go on
[19:49] <ubuntu_ftw> oh dammit
[19:50] <ubuntu_ftw> that was not the correct grub file
[19:50] <ubuntu_ftw> I am dumb
[19:50] <cmm11> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cryptdevice=UUID=1234:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot" << mine is similar to that (not on ubuntu btw)
[19:50] <ubuntu_ftw> ioria: cmm11: that was the wrong grub, I will get the right one
[19:50] <cmm11> ok
[19:50] <ioria> oky
[19:52] <ubuntu_ftw> huh. actually, I can't mount my root partition anymore
[19:52] <ubuntu_ftw> the plot thickens
[19:52] <cmm11> did you do luks open ?
[19:53] <ubuntu_ftw> I can do luksOpen just fine
[19:53] <ubuntu_ftw> that works
[19:53] <ubuntu_ftw> but mounting the mapped device fails
[19:53] <cmm11> then mount it
[19:53] <ubuntu_ftw> it says wrong fs type, bad option, nad superblock
[19:53] <cmm11> paste the commands you are using
[19:53] <ubuntu_ftw> mount /dev/mapper/root
[19:54] <ubuntu_ftw> and to map it, cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/<devicepath> root
[19:54] <ubuntu_ftw> the cryptsetup one works
[19:54] <ubuntu_ftw> I think maybe I should reinstall and format the ext4 partition with gparted
[19:54] <ubuntu_ftw> instead of letting the installer do that
[19:54] <ubuntu_ftw> I thought it could handle that much lol
[19:55] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  what you have in /dev/mapper ?
[19:55] <ubuntu_ftw> control and root, ioria
[19:55] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,   sudo mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt  ?
[19:56] <cmm11> are you giving the mount command a location to mount to ?
[19:56] <ubuntu_ftw> ioria, that is the command that fails =P
[19:57] <cmm11> also to clarify you do cryptsetup first then mount
[19:57] <ubuntu_ftw> of course cmm11 =P
[19:57] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,   the luksOpen cmd you issued ?
[19:57] <ubuntu_ftw> besides the mount error would have been different as the path wouldn't hae existed
[19:57] <ubuntu_ftw> what about it ioria
[19:57] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,   you first need to luksOpen the partion ....
[19:58] <ioria> *partition
[19:58] <ubuntu_ftw> yes, I did
[19:58] <ubuntu_ftw> lol.
[19:58] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,   ok, paste the cmd
[19:58] <ubuntu_ftw> I already told you the command I used...
[19:58] <ubuntu_ftw> it mapped fine
[19:58] <ubuntu_ftw> I can see in lsblk that it is mapped
[19:58] <ioria> ok
[19:59] <brygphilomena> did you add GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y to /etc/default/grub
[19:59] <ubuntu_ftw> brygphilomena: that may be what I need
[19:59] <ubuntu_ftw> thanks for the help all, I am keeping a log of this for later troubleshooting
[19:59] <brygphilomena> Double-check that /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub/grub.cfg contains lines that include insmod luks, cryptomount -u <UUID
[19:59] <ubuntu_ftw> ufortunately I have to go now
[19:59] <brygphilomena> https://askubuntu.com/questions/729673/ubuntu-full-disk-encryption-with-encrypted-boot
[19:59] <ubuntu_ftw> ok I will
[19:59] <ubuntu_ftw> thanks
[19:59] <cmm11> brygphilomena: think that's only needed if you want /boot encrypted too
[19:59] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  i'd try in bios mode (without efi)
[19:59] <ubuntu_ftw> ok
[20:00] <ioria> ubuntu_ftw,  if you have the time fill a bug against the automatic partitioner
[20:01] <tomreyn> does not
[20:01] <ioria> yep
[20:08] <Simonious_> I've got my machine setup so http://mymachine/~user points at /home/user/www/    From there if I wanted to say display a file that lived at /usr/share/randomspot/someimage.png  Is that reasonably doable without making a local copy of the image?
[20:09] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, look up symbolic file links command "ln"
[20:09] <brygphilomena> https://askubuntu.com/questions/56339/how-to-create-a-soft-or-symbolic-link
[20:09] <Simonious_> <img src="/home/usr/share/randomspot/someimage.png"> obviously isn't going to work
[20:09]  * Simonious_ nods
[20:10] <Simonious_> yeah, I can use a symbolic link for sure, was just trying to figure out if there was a way I wouldn't need one. :)
[20:10] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, hard to avoid, though Sym links are very tiny compared to the file they point to
[20:11] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, you may need to check your webserver setup, many are not setup to follow symbolic links by default
[20:11] <Simonious_> symbolic links will work fine for my needs, I didn't know if there was a more 'direct' way of pointing anywhere on the volume
[20:11] <Simonious_> noted
[20:11] <brygphilomena> you could
[20:11] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, if it is the exact same partition, you can use hard links instead
[20:12] <Simonious_> I tried the whole ../../../<FILE> but that didn't same to take
[20:12] <brygphilomena> map a subdomain or subdirectory to that folder in your web server
[20:12] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, that means your web server is setup correctly. You should not be able to use ../../../ traversals
[20:12] <Simonious_> alright, I'll mess around with sym links next.
[20:13] <brygphilomena> yea. Imagine if you could add /../../../etc/passwd and get download a copy
[20:13] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, A hard link can work too. It only lives in the FAT and creates multiple entries that all point to the same file space. They can be more troublesome than Sym Links though.
[20:14] <brygphilomena> I suppose you could do virtual hosts w/ a subdomain
[20:15] <pragmaticenigma> brygphilomena, I think that would require multiplying the effort for each potential user account
[20:16] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, if you are using Apache. Apache does have folder alias... which means you could have http://example.com/~user like you already do, and then http://example.com/images point to a shared images folder that all users can link images/files from
[20:17] <Simonious_> https://ghostbin.com/paste/qn7tq
[20:18] <Simonious_> and ramdrive lives at ~/www/ramdrive
[20:18] <brygphilomena> https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir
[20:20] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, you can't access ramdrive because the permissions are set that only the owner/user can access the folder... You would need to give it chmod 755 for the web server to have access.
[20:20] <Simonious_> pragmaticenigma: where do you see that limited permission?
[20:20] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, drwx------ 3 user user 100 Apr 20 20:17 .
[20:21] <pragmaticenigma> Simonious_, in ls -l, the folder "." points to the current directory
[20:21] <brygphilomena> Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe
[20:21] <Simonious_> ahh, indeed!
[20:21] <Simonious_> that fixed it nicely, thanks!
[20:21] <Ben64> i'd really recommend against putting /run/user/1000 on a webserver
[20:21] <Simonious_> Ben64: I'm listening?
[20:22] <Simonious_> I'm doing a lot of file moving and I'd prefer not to put that activity on spinning media
[20:22] <Ben64> stuff gets put there from the system
[20:22] <pragmaticenigma> Ben64, I think they're using the name "user" as a sanitized value
[20:22] <Ben64> no
[20:22] <Ben64> it's "user"
[20:22] <Simonious_> ^
[20:22] <Ben64> it's a special directory
[20:22] <Simonious_> it's per individual user
[20:22] <Simonious_> and yes, the system does put things there
[20:22] <Ben64> if you want to have something in ram, use something like /run/shm/newfolderjustforthis
[20:23]  * Simonious_ nods
[20:25] <anddam> howdy
[20:36] <pragmaticenigma> anddam, Do you have an Ubuntu Support question? Please feel free to ask it at anytime. We prefer it if you can keep everything on one line to make it easier to find. If you need to paste text, please use pastebin. Welcome
[20:50] <paolo_> Hi guys! on ubuntu 16.04 I had and asus en210 graphic card (nvidia geforge 210 chip), it worked with nvidia-340 driver, and opencl was working. I changed it with a nvidia gtx 1060, which is said to be working in xenial, at the first boot after changing the graphic card I got the card working perfectly with nouveau driver, but I need nvidia driver in order to work with opencl in darktable, so I installed nvidia 396 driver from the pro
[20:50] <anddam> pragmaticenigma: thanks
[20:50] <anddam> I think I'm approaching twenty years of IRC
[20:51] <paolo_> After rebooting, I only have a miserable 640x480 mode, and lsmod doesn't see any nvidia module.. I looked for something left from nvidia-340, but I couldn't find anything. Any hint?
[20:52] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: have you tried using the nvidia-settings manager?
[20:53] <paolo_> I remember that it didn't work. What should I do with it when in 640x480 mode
[20:53] <paolo_> ?
[20:54] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: open a terminal and   nvidia-settings   use that to change your display settings, save to an x configuration file and you should be set
[20:54] <paolo_> but the nvidia module that is not loaded?
[20:58] <sveinse> If I've wrongfully configured postfix, how can I unconfigure it? I tried dpkg-reconfigure postfix and selected "no configuratio" but that didn't remove the running postfix server
[21:00] <sveinse> Aha, with no configuration is sais "leave current config alone". That explains. Purge then
[21:01] <SlidingHorn> Paolo__: if you run   sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnue_gl_conf   what is selected?
[21:02] <SlidingHorn> s/gnue/gnu
[21:04] <SlidingHorn> Paolo__: disregard - That's deprecated (was looking at an old source
[21:04] <paolo_> SlidingHorn: nvidia-settings gave me: "** (nvidia-settings:2345): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-r9AHBclk2g: Connection refused.  ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system"
[21:06] <paolo_> let me try your command
[21:07] <paolo_> after installing nvidia-396 (before rebooting) the command says:   0            /usr/lib/nvidia-396/ld.so.conf              8604      modalità automatica   1            /usr/lib/nvidia-396-prime/ld.so.conf        8603      modalità manuale   2            /usr/lib/nvidia-396/ld.so.conf              8604      modalità manuale * 3            /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf   500       modalità manuale
[21:08] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: choose 0
[21:10] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: (for future reference, when you have a lot of text to copy and paste, use a pastebin so it's easier to read)  :)
[21:11] <paolo___> SlidingHorn: now nvidia-settings only throws "ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system"
[21:12] <paolo___> the window manager doesn't work, windows has no top bar
[21:12] <peter22222> hi folks
[21:12] <peter22222> anybody knows the octal chmod code for folder, that allows others to write files into but not delete other files out of it
[21:12] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: you'll need to restart
[21:12] <paolo___> I restarted
[21:13] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: that was pretty fast...
[21:13] <paolo___> "lsmod|grep nvidia" doesn't output anything
[21:14] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: gksu software-properties-gtk
[21:15] <anddam> peter22222: I don't think rwx will cut it, you need some sorta of ACL
[21:16] <paolo___> SlidingHorn: I launched it...
[21:17] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: click the "Drivers" tab
[21:18] <SlidingHorn> peter22222: maybe this might help:  https://serverfault.com/questions/125320/chmod-to-prevent-deletion-of-file-directory
[21:18] <peter22222> thank you SlidingHorn
[21:18] <paolo___> It says I'm using nvidia 396.18 from nvidia-396 (open source)
[21:20] <paolo___> $ dkms status: bbswitch, 0.8: added       nvidia-396, 396.18: added
[21:20] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: I'm confused as to how it's using the nvidia driver, but lsmod isn't reflecting anything
[21:21] <paolo___> $ lsmod |grep video:  video                  40960  1 asus_wmi
[21:21] <paolo___> what is this?
[21:22] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: just for clarity:   lsmod | pastebinit
[21:22] <paolo___> lsmod | pastebinit
[21:23] <paolo___> lsmod | pastebinit     http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VHtJsf8fsR/
[21:26] <usuario4> hola
[21:26] <SlidingHorn> !es | usuario4
[21:28] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: Out of curiosity - do you know why exactly the 396 driver was chosen?  I have a 1060 as well, and mine uses the 390
[21:28] <SlidingHorn> I just realized that
[21:28] <blyes> #ubuntu-es
[21:29] <paolo___> I tried with 390 and 384, nothing changes. (but I remember that the first time I opened the drivers window, 390 was in the first place)
[21:29] <kostkon> blyes, it's  /j #ubuntu-es
[21:30] <paolo___> SlidingHorn: Could I have something installed remained from previous card driver (nvidia 340)?
[21:32] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: let's do this...set it back to the mesa drivers, then purge any nvidia drivers you have  (sudo apt purge nvidia* )  then sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-390
[21:33] <SlidingHorn> (I'm recommending 390, because that's what I have for my 1060 and I believe it matters)
[21:35] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: sorry it's   sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
[21:36] <paolo___> doing it, it installs "primus primus-libs socat" too, 396 didn't
[21:37] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: (you may need to reinstall nvidia-settings as well
[21:39] <paolo_> SlidingHorn: done and rebooted, now $ nvidia-settings says:
[21:39] <paolo_>  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".  ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded   ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
[21:42] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: do the   sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf  again
[21:42] <SlidingHorn> (choose the option for nvidia auto)
[21:46] <shazbotmcnasty> hey there - I have kde and am using dolphin as my file manager, I can't get network discovery working in Dolphin. Avahi-daemon is installed and running. Anyone have any ideas?
[21:47] <SlidingHorn> shazbotmcnasty: which version of ubuntu?
[21:47] <paolo_> SlidingHorn: I have already as you say
[21:47] <shazbotmcnasty> 16.04
[21:47] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: okay, and the  sudo software-properties-gtk   what does the Additional Drivers tab say?
[21:49] <tgm4883> !gksudo SlidingHorn
[21:49] <tgm4883> !gksudo | SlidingHorn
[21:51] <SlidingHorn> tgm4883: true - while in *this* case, sudo doesn't harm in the way mentioned, it's probably not prudent to get the user used to using a graphical sudo.  Noted.
[21:53] <paolo___> SlidingHorn: sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf shows that I'm using /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa-egl/ld.so.conf
[21:53] <vlt> Hello. Is there an image viewer that leaves holes in transparent png images, for example?
[21:53] <SlidingHorn> paolo___: you want to be using the new nvidia driver we just installed
[21:53] <RNeville> Hello, everyone, I'm trying to get LibreOffice installed on Ubuntu 16.04 ; the only thing that the Ubuntu Software installs is LibreOffice <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:54] <vlt> I'm looking for a way to create a black full screen with two holes in it where other X windows are visible.
[21:54] <SlidingHorn> RNeville: that is the supported version.  see:   /msg ubottu best    for why newer may not be better
[21:54] <vlt> Any idea?
[21:55] <vlt> A mask for my desktop.
[21:56] <SlidingHorn> vlt: I'm not aware of any software that does that
[21:57] <paolo_> SlidingHorn: the drivers window sayt I'm using the 390
[21:57] <RNeville> I can't get my printer to work correctly with LibreOffice <IP_ADDRESS> - it was working correctly before I reinstalled Ubuntu
[21:57] <vlt> Can I create this by using multiple black rectangles? What would you use to arrange black rectangles on your screen?
[21:58] <tgm4883> vlt: what is your end goal?
[21:58] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: make sure that the update-alternatives command is updated to use the nvidia option, also
[21:59] <SlidingHorn> paolo_: after that, reboot, and run the following:     lsmod | grep nvidia | pastebinit
[21:59] <vlt> tgm4883: A black screen with two rectangular "holes" where two areas of programs in the "background" are visible.
[22:00] <tgm4883> vlt: well the craftiest way to do that would be to grab a piece of black construction paper, cut two holes in it and tape it to your screen
[22:01] <vlt> tgm4883: I need that black paper to be applied on the HDMI out ;-)
[22:01] <tgm4883> vlt: then tape it to whatever screen the HDMI out goes to
[22:01] <vlt> tgm4883: Projection :-/
[22:02] <tgm4883> vlt: get a smaller piece of construction paper and tape it to the lens
[22:02] <vlt> tgm4883: But I'm glad you understood what I'm trying to achieve here :-D
[22:02] <SlidingHorn> vlt: well, you only just now told us that you're talking about a projector...we can't read your mind.
[22:02] <vlt> I need a software construction paper to arrange on my desktop.
[22:03] <SlidingHorn> vlt: in that case, I'd recommend using LibreOffice's Present and use slides that accomplish this or create graphics for screenshots
[22:03] <paolo___> SlidingHorn: set x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf to nvidia 390, but nothing changed... :-(
[22:03] <vlt> SlidingHorn: Sorry, I wasn't full aware how significant the projection is.
[22:03] <tgm4883> I mean, none of this really tells us why we're trying to do this. So I guess use a black image.  Why are you trying to hide stuff from whoever is viewing your projector
[22:04] <SlidingHorn> vlt: you design them to hide the parts of the screenshot you don't want shown...then add an animation or transformation that removes them as you go
[22:05] <vlt> tgm4883: Because I don't want the rest of the program windows and desktop to be visible. Only two specific areas showing live video.
[22:06] <SlidingHorn> vlt: without more information, I'm going to just say that this isn't possible as far as I know.
[22:06] <tgm4883> vlt: drag video to second monitor and go full screen
[22:06] <paolo_> SlidingHorn: it says empty document
[22:06] <paolo_> I have no nvidia module loaded
[22:07] <vlt> tgm4883: I need both videos on one screen. I already arranged them, I just need the digital construction paper.
[22:07] <paolo_> SlidingHorn: lshw says the display is UNCLAIMED
[22:08] <vlt> What program would display a black rectangle without any borders or title bars?
[22:08] <vlt> Anywhere on an X screen.
[22:08] <SlidingHorn> vlt: if you already have videos, why can't you just edit them to have masks, themselves?
[22:09] <tgm4883> this seems unnecessary
[22:10] <paolo_> where precisely is this channel's log?
[22:10] <vlt> SlidingHorn: It's live video.
[22:10] <SlidingHorn> !log
[22:11] <Lope> I've got a surface pro 2 running ubuntu 18.04. When I touch the physical windows button under the screen, the tablet vibrates, but it doesn't trigger anything at all in gnome. Not the start button, nothing. If the screen is off due to power saving it still vibrates when I touch the button but the screen doesn't wake up. I tried to see if I could bind a shell script or something to it by making a keyboard
[22:11] <Lope> shortcut, but when I try that and the keyboard shortcut widget says "press any key" touching the button causes the tablet to vibrate but no key is registered and it continues waiting for me to press a key. Any ideas?
[22:12] <tgm4883> vlt: use a black image and feh
[22:12] <tgm4883> vlt: this seems unnecessarily convoluted
[22:12] <vlt> tgm4883: Can you recommend a less convoluted way to display two live video screens on an otherwise black screen?
[22:13]  * vlt googles "feh"
[22:13] <tgm4883> vlt: depends on what I'm trying to do as the end result
[22:13] <SlidingHorn> ^^
[22:13] <tgm4883> !info feh | vlt
[22:13] <SlidingHorn> vlt: which you still have yet to explain to us
[22:14] <vlt> SlidingHorn: I'm sorry, I seem to perform not so well at explaining. I'll try again:
[22:15] <tgm4883> I mean, if I'm trying to show 2 live streams of security cameras on a security monitor, I'm going to use a specific piece of software for that. If I'm trying to display 2 youtube video to a classroom while hiding the rest of my background, I'm going to take a step back and reevaluate my life
[22:19] <vlt> SlidingHorn: I use two programs to display live video connected via USB. These programs not only show the video but a lot of other stuff like menus ...  Now I need a black screen and only the two live videos visible. Is there a better approach than "digital black tape"?
[22:22] <tgm4883> vlt: I'd probably just use security camera software for that
[22:23] <tgm4883> A quick way to do it is possibly motion and a webpage, but that would depend on how real-time you need it to be (IIRC, motion is kinda slow)
[22:25] <vlt> Ok, thank you. I'll try to use feh.

[22:33] <Ubuntu1204> ok
[22:33] <Ubuntu1204> and after the upgrade do you think it will go faster?

[22:45] <freeguestee> lookin for advice on compiling python from source. I need version 2.6.6, but ubuntu 14.04 has 2.7.x.  I tried to do ./configure && make... but It failed. Error says 'failed to find necessary bits' to build modules
[22:47] <sveinse> How can I change the hostname on a server. I've attempted setting it with hostname and changed everything grepped for in /etc, ran update-grub, but still it comes up the old hostname after reboot. Any ideas?
[22:49] <blkadder> hostnamectl
[22:50] <Lope> Is it possible to bind the windows button on the keyboard as a shortcut key to run a command? When I tried, it didn't want to detect. Has anyone here done it? Running Mate on Ubuntu 16.04.
[22:52] <sveinse> blkadder: nope, that doesn't help. reboot and its back again
[22:52] <blkadder> Then something else is going on. It works fine for me.
[22:56] <blkadder> sveinse: What type of environment is the server in?
[22:56] <sveinse> blkadder: what do you mean? -- I'm actually checking the dhcp server right now
[22:57] <sveinse> No, the dhcp server claims to use the new hostname
[22:58] <blkadder> Well, something somewhere is changing it back. :-)
[22:58] <blkadder> I'd start looking through your startup scripts, etc.
[22:58] <sveinse> Nothing in /etc
[22:58] <sveinse> I've grepped for it
[22:58] <blkadder> Check out systemd related areas.
[22:59] <squib0> I have an ubuntu 16.04 LTS virtual machine that is receiving an IPv4 config via dhcp but it seems to be failing to do any network connectivity due to name lookup issues
[22:59] <squib0> I can ping IPs on the internet and I can ping the dns servers
[23:00] <squib0> nmcli on the ethernet device shows all the correct IP settings and DNS IPs.  what could be the issue?
[23:00] <squib0> if I do a 'nslookup www.google.com' for example it just hangs for awhile and then says connection timeout
[23:07] <sveinse> The culprit is cloud-init. Now I need to figure out how it is configured
[23:10] <dcarmich> I'm trying to mount an NFS server on an ubuntu 16.04 system, but it is not mounted on boot despite having "auto" specified in /etc/fstab. I tried adding '/bin/mount -a' to rc.local and it didn't work. Would there be something else I should check?
[23:10] <Bashing-om> squib0: nameserver ?? what shows ' cat /etc/resolv.conf ' ?
[23:12] <squib0> Bashing-om, there's nothing in the /etc/resolv.conf file, but nmcli returns the proper DNS server entries for the device
[23:13] <squib0> Bashing-om, I figured it out.  something weird with another virtual router I'm running in the lab topology
[23:14] <squib0> there's still nothing in /etc/resolv.conf except the localhost so that file must kind deprecated or something
[23:14] <Bashing-om> squib0: Good job - thanks for providing the solution :)
[23:34] <Lord_Of_The_Unde> ?
[23:39] <nacc> sveinse: there is a #cloud-init
[23:39] <nacc> sveinse: in case you need specific guidance
[23:40] <shazbotmcnasty> ok riddle me this - heh - if I just do smb://serverip it shows up - click a share, asks for username/password, and then it just asks for it again
[23:40] <shazbotmcnasty> so - I can ssh into the server using that username and password
[23:40] <shazbotmcnasty> oh wrong channel
[23:41] <shazbotmcnasty> no this is the right channel
[23:41] <shazbotmcnasty> lol
[23:41] <shazbotmcnasty> is it possible that that user is not allowed to use samba? and if so, how do i enable that user to use those samba shares?
[23:41] <shazbotmcnasty> also i can't mount -o cifs //that/location /local/machine either
[23:41] <shazbotmcnasty> access denied
[23:42] <nacc> shazbotmcnasty: ssh user/password is not the same as samba user/password
[23:42] <nacc> at least, not necessarily the same
[23:42] <shazbotmcnasty> ok - how do i add a samba user so we can use that username/pass ?
[23:43] <nacc> shazbotmcnasty: nasty URL, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Network%20Share%20Via%20Samba%20Via%20CLI%20%28Command-line%20interface/Linux%20Terminal%29%20-%20Uncomplicated,%20Simple%20and%20Brief%20Way!
[23:43] <nacc> shazbotmcnasty: that should at least give you ideas of how to do what you want
[23:43] <shazbotmcnasty> heh
[23:44] <shazbotmcnasty> how do i check the current samba users?
[23:44] <nacc> shazbotmcnasty: i will say, if you thought samba's passwords were the same as your normal user's, you need to do some more research on what samba is :)

[23:54] <lakesudepark> How to enable concurrency in Ubuntu 18.04
[23:54] <leftyfb> !bionic | lakesudepark
[23:55] <lakesudepark> the budgie is avalible on website ubuntu-budgie
[23:55] <leftyfb> !budgie | lakesudepark
[23:56] <lakesudepark> ok, but I have 17.04 too and I like to use concurrency in system.
[23:56] <lakesudepark> Ubuntu, not flavor
[23:57] <leftyfb> lakesudepark: 17.04 is not supported
[23:57] <leftyfb> !eol | lakesudepark
[23:57] <ltomi> shortly: I've installed Ubuntu 18.04 beta 2 to test. Brightness control doesn't work: not with hardware keys and GNOME didn't come with a GUI brightness control. Brightness works if I use xbacklight, and every time I login I've to run it elevated because brightness setting doesn't persist.
[23:57] <leftyfb> ltomi: please go to #ubuntu+1 for support with unreleased versions of ubuntu
[23:59] <unicodepepper> Is there any way to close the unity desktop without rebooting? I'm using i3wm right now and forgot to change my defaults, so when I opened the file manager from firefox (which I would expect to only open a nautilus window) I had the whole desktop appear on the current workspace, obscuring everything else.
