[16:06] <BobJonkman> dscassel: Is it official? IRC meeting at 7:00pm on 20 June, IRL with Ubuntu Hour Waterloo?


[00:09] <jonathan_> hello?
[00:09] <jonathan_> is this IRC for audio help or what?
[00:09] <zequence> jonathan_: hi
[00:09] <th3pr0ph3t> hi jonathan_
[00:10] <jonathan_> I just want to record through audacity with a lexicon alpha and a condenser mic.
[00:10] <zequence> jonathan_: What kind of recording are you doing?
[00:10] <jonathan_> I'm having all kinds of problems. Im trying to record with a condenser mic. Acoustic guitar and vocals.
[00:10] <zequence> jonathan_: Just one channel, or are yo doing multitracking and mixing too?
[00:11] <zequence> Audacity is quite able to record, but is more of an audio editor than a recording tool
[00:11] <jonathan_> Well. I'm VERY new at this. So I'm guessing multi tracking is when you have more than one mic and youre recording separate things? I dunno.
[00:12] <zequence> So, if you're only doing one channel, then Audacity is as good as anything
[00:12] <jonathan_> I don't know how to work ardour and audacity wont pic up my mic.
[00:12] <jonathan_> pick*
[00:12] <zequence> jonathan_: You're not using jack, are you?
[00:13] <jonathan_> I've tried. I started it up and changed my input to lexicon alpha
[00:13] <zequence> You don't need jack with audacity
[00:13] <jonathan_> ive tried without jack as well though
[00:13] <jonathan_> thing is when is start jack my mic stops picking up sound
[00:13] <zequence> Let me see how the interface works, Just a sec
[00:14] <jonathan_> but... really now i just NEED to record the acoustic guitar, then record vocals. i just need a rough studio recording
[00:14] <jonathan_> to get my stuff on a disc.
[00:15] <jonathan_> im short of time to do this. i have about a week left and i need to start recording. ill get into better quality studio recordings later. so im just looking to do the basic recording rightnow. which is why im trying to use audacity rather than ardour.
[00:15] <zequence> Ok, so in Edit -> Preferences -> Devices
[00:16] <zequence> Host should be ALSA
[00:16] <jonathan_> yup
[00:17] <jonathan_> My lexicon shows up in playback but not in recording
[00:17] <jonathan_> let me screen shot this for you
[00:17] <zequence> jonathan_: When you do that, could you do one more thing, please?
[00:18] <zequence> Click on Recording -> Device, so I can see all your recording choices
[00:20] <jonathan_> zequence sec
[00:24] <jonathan_> zequence im having trouble getting a screenshot :p
[00:24] <zequence> jonathan_: Just use a timer with enough time on it
[00:25] <zequence> Or, it says "delay" on mine
[00:26] <jonathan_> zequence ah got it one sec
[00:28] <jonathan_> zequence http://imgur.com/cC5sMV6
[00:29] <zequence> jonathan_: Problem is, I'm not seeing the whole thing
[00:30] <zequence> But, the way the devices are show in Audacity is a little weird
[00:30] <jonathan_> zequence http://imgur.com/ifyOPgY
[00:31] <zequence> jonathan_: btw, did you change the sound device in pulseaudio to your Lexicon card. I assume it's a usb device
[00:31] <jonathan_> i dont think so...
[00:31] <jonathan_> lexicon is a usb interface
[00:32] <jonathan_> i dont even know what pulse audio is
[00:32] <SonikkuAmerica> !pulseaudio
[00:32] <zequence> jonathan_: In the volume applet, click "Sound Settings"
[00:32] <zequence> or, from the terminal: pavucontrol
[00:33] <jonathan_> ok done
[00:33] <zequence> pulseaudio is the desktop sound system
[00:33] <zequence> jonathan_: In both Output and Input devices, select your usb device
[00:33] <zequence> jonathan_: The green button
[00:34] <zequence> mouseover says "set as fallback"
[00:34] <jonathan_> kk
[00:35] <zequence> jonathan_: Once you've done that, restart Audacity, and then try it
[00:36] <zequence> If you don't get sound, choose one of the "default" choices in Edit -> Preferences -> Devices -> Recording
[00:36] <zequence> jonathan_: Also, all your output will also be from the usb card now
[00:37] <jonathan_> http://i.imm.io/15Vor.png http://i.imm.io/15VoH.png http://i.imm.io/15VoV.png
[00:38] <zequence> jonathan_: Your theme looks weird. Is it on purpose?
[00:38] <jonathan_> haha i guess so. im new to ubuntu
[00:38] <jonathan_> whats weird about it?
[00:38] <zequence> Well, it's not the default anyway
[00:38] <zequence> nevermind
[00:39] <zequence> jonathan_: In "Configuration", the profile for the Lexicon is not great
[00:39] <zequence> It says, Digital out, and Analog Stereo in
[00:40] <zequence> Is there no choice that says Analog out + Analog in?
[00:40] <zequence> jonathan_: I'm guessing you are using your onboard card for listening?
[00:41] <SonikkuAmerica> zequence: There should be... in my experience with !studio, anyway... I used 12.10 before I went back to Unity + metapackages
[00:41] <zequence> jonathan_: One way around this is to choose "Built-in Audio..." as the default input in "Input Devices"
[00:41] <zequence> Sorry....
[00:42] <zequence> I mean "Output Devices"
[00:42] <zequence> So, you could use the Lexicon for recording, but the builtin for monitoring
[00:43] <zequence> jonathan_: In any case, the input selection is fine now
[00:43] <jonathan_> zequence one sec, ill read your replies in a sec. thank you so much
[00:43] <zequence> jonathan_: You should be able to record using your usb device, and just make sure in Audacity, that choose a default device that begins with "default:<something"
[00:44] <zequence> jonathan_: I would start by trying the first "default:" option in Audacity
[00:44] <jonathan_> Zequence, the input is working now.
[00:44] <zequence> jonathan_: That's in Edit -> Preferences -> Devices -> Recording
[00:44] <zequence> jonathan_: Great
[00:45] <jonathan_> However, I cannot hear it
[00:45] <jonathan_> because i set my output to the lexicon, and my headphones cant connect to the lexicon
[00:45] <jonathan_> they have to connect directly to my computer
[00:46] <zequence> jonathan_: Ok, so in the pulseaudio mixer (volume applet -> sound settings), set your builtin is fallback for the "Output Devices"
[00:47] <zequence> jonathan_: You have two separate audio devices, and though you can use them both at the same time, one for input and one for output, you can't use both with the same sound server for both input and output
[00:47] <zequence> Only one device may use the output, and only one device may use the input configuration for the desktop audio server
[00:47] <jonathan_> correct
[00:48] <zequence> jonathan_: So, just keep your Lexicon as the input, and set your Builtin as the output, and that should work for your workflow
[00:49] <zequence> jonathan_: Later, if you use jack, you'll be better off only using the usb device, for both input and output. And, using Ardour is much preferred over Audacity when it comes to recording and mixing
[00:50] <jonathan_> Why is that?
[00:51] <zequence> jonathan_: Why is ardour preferable over audacity?
[00:51] <jonathan_> yes
[00:52] <zequence> Audacity is better suited for editing audio. It's an audio editor. not a studio recording tool
[00:52] <zequence> You'll realize this when you start getting into Ardour
[00:52] <zequence> Ardour is designed for recording, mixing and mastering musix
[00:53] <zequence> Audacity is designed for editing audio, which it is really great at
[00:54] <jonathan_> ah I see.
[00:54] <zequence> But, if you only do simple recording of acoustic sources, then it doesn't really matter
[00:54] <zequence> For that you could use any tool that is able to record, really
[00:54] <zequence> However, with your special configuration, using one device for input and the outher for output, currently, Audacity seems like a smart choice after all
[00:57] <jonathan_> Thanks a lot for the help man.
[00:57] <jonathan_> Much appreciated
[01:00] <zequence> np. Hope you get some nice recording done :)
[01:16] <jonathan_> zequence i just made some changes and now im getting static
[01:16] <jonathan_> physical changes
[01:17] <jonathan_> zequence nevermind lol. i had the wrong mic set
[11:55] <Guest68233> hello help needed using US13.04
[11:56] <Guest68233> who can i address to
[11:56] <Guest68233> need help thanks in advance
[11:56] <cfhowlett> !details|Guest68233,
[11:57] <Guest68233> thanks ubottu , whenever i use LMMS after using it sound from chromium youtube goes away
[11:58] <Guest68233> i tried resetting pulse audio but no help
[11:59] <Guest68233> even banshee songs no audio
[12:00] <Guest68233> seems i have no sound output , now if i reboot the laptop everything works normally
[12:01] <Guest68233> its just any audio production tool i use it creates trouble for playback or sound output
[12:04] <Guest68233> thanks cfhowlett
[12:06] <cfhowlett> Guest68233, wish I had an answer for you, but as my sound has never glitched ...
[12:06] <Guest68233> oh thanks anyway cfhow
[12:15] <SonikkuAmerica> zequence hasn't woke up yet? Uh-oh...
[12:20] <Guest68233> got the sound back by doing this ---   sudo alsa force-reload
[12:21] <Guest68233> just sharing now LMMS no sound output seems something disconnects programmes from the default soundcard
[12:22] <Guest68233> if anyone has any inputs please share
[12:27] <smartboyhw> SonikkuAmerica: He has waken up normally at this time.
[12:32] <opiwahn> hello. I am beginner with ubuntustudio. Just set-up my ubuntu-studio-13.04-64bit. "normal" sound works, also alsa-test with "aplay wavefile.wav". but I have no sound-output from ardour or hydrogen f.e.
[12:33] <DarkEra> opiwahn, you need jack up and running for ardour
[12:33] <opiwahn> yes, I think that jack is up
[12:34] <DarkEra> make sure it's set up properly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro
[17:03] <kuranevi> hi
[17:03] <kuranevi> how can i use my ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro correctly on Xubuntu?
[17:04] <kuranevi> i have only 1024 resolution
[17:04] <kuranevi> Ubuntu Studio 13.04
[17:06] <DarkEra> kuranevi, if you use xubuntu it's better to ask in their channel #xubuntu
[17:06] <zequence> kuranevi: Is that a pretty old graphic card? If you are unable to adjust resolution with arandr, then you might need to create a custom xorg.conf
[17:10] <kuranevi> i use UStudio 13.04 and in Arandr i have max. 1024x768 resolution
[17:11] <kuranevi> i dont know how i can work on Xorg.conf
[18:45] <tete> hi, i have a sennheiser mm 550x and i would like to use it but somehow i can not change the sound settings so i am unable to change the quality - can someone help me?
[18:46] <tete> its a bluetooth headset
[18:47] <tete> and somehow i am unable to find it when using the ui but hcitool scan works
[18:50] <mlpug> sox is nice tool for processing audio in scriptable manner. Is there similar tool for video. I would like to adjust colors of videos, implement transitions between clips, etc basic video work in commandline manner.
[18:50] <mlpug> I guess ffmpeg is pretty close to what I am after but 13.04 ffmpeg seems to lag upstream ffmpeg a lot (and miss a lot of functionality like filters)
[19:32] <kuranevi> hi
[19:32] <SonikkuAmerica> !hi
[19:32] <SonikkuAmerica> Yo
[19:32] <kuranevi> my many much youtube videos dont open or open too late
[19:41] <SonikkuAmerica> In Ubuntu Studio?
[19:43] <kuranevi> yes ubuntu studio
[19:43] <SonikkuAmerica> 12.04, 12.10 or 13.04?
[19:44] <Arkhana> Kuranevi, here I am
[19:44] <kuranevi> 13.04


[01:33] <pleia2> got a couple summaries but not many, for anyone who has time it would be greatly appreciated :) http://bit.ly/vDkJyf
[03:20]  * holstein looking pleia2
[03:24] <pleia2> hi there holstein :)
[03:24] <pleia2> thank you!
[16:34] <pleia2> yay, most of planet is done :)
[16:34] <pleia2> anyone around to help with more summaries?
[22:03] <pleia2> anyone else around for summaries?
[23:18] <holstein> pleia2: i can do a few more later for sure...
[23:18] <pleia2> thanks :)
[23:18] <holstein> it'll be like 4 hours from now
[23:18] <pleia2> I've been in Xubuntu land all day
[23:18] <holstein> i'll check in though
[23:19]  * pleia2 nods
[23:21] <gonyere> pleia2 what do you need hlep with?
[23:22] <holstein> http://bit.ly/vDkJyf summaries
[23:24] <gonyere> do you need help writing more of the summaries or editing or both?
[23:24] <pleia2> writing more
[23:24] <pleia2> we still need about half of them
[23:24] <pleia2> editing comes later :)
[23:24] <gonyere> k
[23:25] <gonyere> one thing i notice just scanning through is there mostly 'announces' when it should probably be 'has announced'
[23:25] <pleia2> thanks! if you do end up writing some, please add your name/nick to the end of the document so we can credit you
[23:26] <pleia2> we're describing the post itself, so it's like "in this post $foo announces"
[23:27] <gonyere> yeah, but it still just sounds a bit odd considering all this is stuff thats already happened
[23:29] <pleia2> I guess if you don't consider them as summaries and instead take them as news itself
[23:29] <pleia2> but I tend to see them as summaries
[23:31] <pleia2> huh, I just realized our StyleGuidelines aren't linked in the header
[23:32] <pleia2> there we go
[23:33] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/StyleGuidelines should help
[23:34] <JoseeAntonioR> hey pleia2, I'll take a look at it in a second
[23:34] <pleia2> thanks
[23:36] <JoseeAntonioR> pleia2: is that supposed to go in the template?
[23:38] <pleia2> JoseeAntonioR: we're editing the google doc right now, I'll move it to the template after the first reviews
[23:38] <pleia2> the doc is here: http://bit.ly/vDkJyf
[23:39] <JoseeAntonioR> I meant, the style guidelines, should they be linked somewhere?
[23:39] <pleia2> they are now linked in the header of UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter
[23:39] <JoseeAntonioR> ok, then :)
[23:39] <pleia2> and I send them out the the summary writers and editors that are emailed each week


[11:59] <cmaloney> morning
[12:08] <_stink_> good morning
[12:13] <brousch> Wow, this coffee really is better
[12:13] <brousch> I tried an over night cold brew. It lets a lot more subtle flavors survive
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> interesting
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> I'm thinking of getting a decent french press just to get rid of yet-another electical device taking up my valuable counterspace
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> and because I could make my own at work then (I can't drink much regular, or I get like Fry in that episode of futurama)
[12:32] <ColonelPanic001> a little caffeine goes a very long way with me
[12:33] <brousch> I have a french press. You still need to heat the water somehow
[12:34] <brousch> Unless you cold brew overnight
[12:34] <ColonelPanic001> yeah, I have an electric kettle at home and work for tea
[12:34] <ColonelPanic001> so really it would mean I could make coffee almost like I make tea already anyway
[12:34] <brousch> My press makes 3 cups, so I do it at home and bring it to work in a thermos
[12:34] <ColonelPanic001> yeah, thought of that too, maybe
[12:35] <ColonelPanic001> I don't drink a lot of coffee, but then that's partly to just avoid the caffeine. If I could make decent decaf like that, might be worth the bother
[12:36] <brousch> I drink decaf
[12:37] <brousch> You could easily make half-caf this way too
[12:37] <ColonelPanic001> yeah
[12:39] <brousch> The hardest part of french press is figuring out how much grounds to use. Each batch of coffee is a little different
[12:40] <brousch> So there's always a brew or 2 of too powerful/weak when you start a new bag
[12:42] <_stink_> question
[12:43] <_stink_> if the water is cold
[12:43] <_stink_> is it really a 'brew' at all
[12:43] <_stink_> and not just a 'soak'
[12:44] <brousch> That's a better name for it
[12:44] <_stink_> a less appetizing name :P
[12:44] <_stink_> mmm, taste this soak i made
[12:45] <brousch> cold soak
[12:45] <brousch> Would you like a cup of cold soak?
[12:46] <_stink_> oh yes please
[13:04] <rick_h_> morning
[13:15] <cmaloney> morning
[13:19] <cmaloney> How's the morning so far?
[13:21] <rick_h_> I can haz coffee
[13:37] <cmaloney> rick_h_: Are you back state-side?
[13:37] <rick_h_> cmaloney: yea, back last night
[13:37] <rick_h_> yay
[13:37] <cmaloney> woo woo!
[13:37] <cmaloney> Everything go well
[13:37] <cmaloney> ?
[13:37] <rick_h_> now to catch up on the world
[13:38] <rick_h_> ok, still have a job so that always makes for a good sprint :)
[13:38] <cmaloney> Kind of like the Christmas party at my dad's old job
[13:38] <rick_h_> lol
[13:38] <cmaloney> If you didn't tell the boss of the company where he could shove his bottles of wine it was considered a success.
[14:04] <brousch> Hm, bonus from the cold brew. There is almost no sediment compared to usual


[00:23] <rud0lf> hello... i like my boot listing (nosplash boot option) clean - in the means that there are no errors.. lately it started to display few messages (not necessarily together) Invalid PKCS11 signature - how can i investigate the problem (system is UEFI, secure boot is off)
[00:23] <rud0lf> ?
[00:23] <rud0lf> Invalid or Untrusted, i'm not sure
[00:23] <rud0lf> would be signed driver problem?
[00:24] <sarnold> rud0lf: can you pastebin the thing? someone may be able to suggest what needs changing
[00:25] <rud0lf> i'm saying what i have read in boot... do i need journalctl -xe or something?
[00:25] <sarnold> yeah, look there first, if it's not there poke around in /var/log/ .. it may or may not be written in there, too
[00:27] <rud0lf> NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  430.50  Thu Sep  5 22:36:31 CDT 2019 -> PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key
[00:27] <rud0lf> that's one of the problems
[00:28] <rud0lf> (i ask before google hunting) can i add my own certificate to the list of trusted certs and sign drivers for secure boot?
[00:30] <rud0lf> nvm the last line, found the perfect solution
[00:31] <rud0lf> and also solution for all i asked i think - create own certificate, sign drivers, and import custom certificate by UEFI menu
[00:31] <rud0lf> if anyone had ever similar problem - https://ubuntu.com/blog/how-to-sign-things-for-secure-boot
[00:32] <sarnold> oh nice
[01:45] <catalyst_> Hello
[01:47] <OerHeks> :)
[01:52] <catalyst_> OerHeks: Hi

[02:05] <sarnold> ?
[02:15] <Kon-> Is there a list of 32-bit libraries that have been greenlit for inclusion in 20.04?
[02:21] <OerHeks> Kon-, perhaps there is, seek support in #ubuntu+1 for now, start https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/i386 and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal
[02:21] <OerHeks> !focal
[02:21] <OerHeks> 3654 results .. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/i386?text=.

[02:26] <Kon-> Thanks for that
[02:57] <fairuz> Good day people
[03:02] <fairuz> I've seen this line "CRON[20973]: (root) CMD (  [ -x /usr/lib/php/sessionclean ] && if [ ! -d /run/systemd/system ]; then /usr/lib/php/sessionclean; fi)" in my syslog, I wonder what does it do? and how it affect my logged in users
[03:36] <leftyfb> fairuz: it's for php sessions. Not users.
[04:27] <callipyg0us> I'm *attempting* to run Ubuntu and Unity on a touch device
[04:27] <callipyg0us> A "slate" computer
[04:27] <callipyg0us> but the touchscreen becomes unresponsive after a few minutes of using it
[04:28] <callipyg0us> though plugging in an external keyboard, seems fine then
[04:29] <callipyg0us> same problem in gnome3 and other Linux'es
[04:29] <callipyg0us> touchscreen becomes unresponsive
[04:31] <sarnold> weird :/
[04:31] <callipyg0us> maybe it's an issue with the hardware
[04:31] <callipyg0us> I'll see what it's like in Windows
[04:31] <sarnold> that's a lot of area to cover.. hardware? software? which program if software?
[04:32] <sarnold> ah good if you've got another os you can try that's a good start
[04:35] <callipyg0us> I'll give it a go
[04:59] <harisamin> hi there
[04:59] <harisamin> i currently don't have a live cd/usb and i'm trying to fix a parittion of unallocated psace and resize my current parittion
[04:59] <harisamin> eveyrthing i'm reading is saying there
[05:00] <harisamin> is on way to resize the current parittion to take the unallocated parition's space without using a live cd/usb
[05:00] <harisamin> i guess i'm wondering if there's a solution to do it without a live cd/usb
[05:02] <Bashing-om> harisamin: Uh huh -no can operate on a partition whos file system is in use - hence the liveUSB or another installed operating system.
[05:49] <k_sze> Does anybody know how to get vice actually working on ubuntu?
[05:50] <callipygous> hmm yeha, dunno what's going on with the touchscreen "slate"
[05:50] <callipygous> windows 7 seemed ok
[05:50] <callipygous> didn't glitch on me
[06:20] <callipygous> best operating system for a SAMSUNG Slate 7?
[08:38] <spitzi> Hello, using Ubuntu 16.04. I have several machines, one of which exports an NFS share. I successfully mounted the share on one of the other machines, but for the rest, the mount hangs and timeouts on "mount.nfs: trying text-based options". Googling doesn't help, any advice?
[09:05] <spitzi> Ah, obviously, it was a firewall block
[09:20] <gordonjcp> hi
[09:20] <gordonjcp> is there a way in "normal" Ubuntu to disconnect wifi without turning off wifi?
[09:21] <gordonjcp> either that, or leave it connected but prioritise the 4G adaptor over wifi
[09:22] <jeremy31> gordonjcp: open the Ubuntu Software program and search for disconnect wifi
[09:23] <zamba> i have issues getting output through my nvidia card when connected through a KVM system.. i see the screen connected: "Lenovo Group Limited LEN P27q-10 (DFP-0): connected" but no output
[09:23] <zamba> if i connect a screen locally, then i get image: "Samsung SyncMaster (DFP-0): connected"
[09:24] <zamba> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zF7JMrQvKG/
[09:24] <zamba> anyone making any sense of that?
[09:24] <zamba> could it be that the mode is set wrong? how can i override that?
[09:25] <gordonjcp> jeremy31: I understand those words individually but not the actual sentence

[09:26] <winternewt> Hi, I was in here asking about long stutters in some applications (firefox, visual studio code, keepassxc) that started happening after I upgraded to 19.10, if I run i3 as window manager. Well I figured out a workaround: if I run compton (a standalone compositing manager) the stutters go away. So it appears to have something to do with communication with the window manager and expectations of support
[09:26] <winternewt> for compositing?
[09:27] <gordonjcp> jeremy31: that doesn't seem to show up in 19.10
[09:27] <winternewt> anyhow, I'm not going to dwell much on it for now as I have work to do, but it could be a useful workaround for others and perhaps a clue as to where the problem is.

[09:34] <glachas> Hi everyone, I want to create desktop shortcut for which I created .desktop file in the same directory where the main binary is. Binary imports a file(it is successful) which imports another file(import error that is unable to locate the file). But when I am running the binary alone it is working fine. What could go wrong?
[09:34] <glachas> I am using ubuntu 18.04
[09:36] <glachas> If I am placing the binary in /usr/share/applications, error is same

[09:44] <Anthaas> Hi all - something on my machine is creating volumes. I have $HOME/disk, $HOME/disk1, and $HOME/disk2 - how can I find out what is doing it?
[09:45] <Anthaas> They are 93MB, 57MB, and 24MB respectively.
[09:47] <Anthaas> Oops - a mistake. They are mounted at /media
[09:58] <geirha> gnome lists all the filesystems it finds, that are not listed in /etc/fstab
[09:58] <geirha> if you click on them, they get mounted under /media

[10:50] <paul98> can I forxe it to install this updates?
[10:54] <Cheez> you can, dist-upgrade - but it's advisable to understand what's being kept back and why first. usually it means it has to install new dependencies or remove or upgrade existing ones.
[10:54] <paul98> well I tried to run it before and it erroed out, I can't remember what the error was though so just trying to get back on thi

[11:27] <paul98> hmm
[11:27] <paul98> i'll leave it
[11:27] <paul98> I thought it hadn't updated
[11:28] <paul98> I was on 16.04, wanted to go to 18.04 had bit issues run apt dist-upgrade (I guess this works the same as do-release-upgrade just more agressive
[11:28] <paul98> although gnome is horrible :(
[11:28] <callipygous> I'm having issues with the touchscreen on this "slate" samsung going unresponsive after about 15 minutes or so of use....
[11:29] <callipygous> ....seems to not happen in windows...but happens in Unity and Gnome environments on Ubuntu and OpenSUSE
[11:36] <callipygous> wow, I haven't used windows ... since '02 til now.. it just, installs updates, doesn't ask...
[11:36] <callipygous> ...nice
[11:37] <callipygous> I think I'll give this computer back
[11:44] <paul98> you can turn that option off to install updates by default
[11:44] <callipygous> mmm
[11:45] <callipygous> I don't think I'll even use windows
[11:45] <callipygous> It can probably do what I want but...
[11:45] <Cheez> same with most oses really, osx, macos, android, windows, all update by default without asking because when they ask, no one does it
[11:46] <paul98> no one likes doing updates
[11:46] <paul98> will unity work on 19.04 ?
[11:46] <callipygous> I'm pretty sure I have it working on 19.04
[11:47] <callipygous> Unless I'm running 18.xx
[11:47] <callipygous> want me to check?
[11:47] <paul98> be nice
[11:47] <paul98> before i commit
[11:47] <paul98> i just don't like gnome :(
[11:49] <callipygous> how do I tell?
[11:49] <callipygous> what version
[11:49] <callipygous> uname -a doesn't give the version of Ubuntu
[11:49] <paul98> cat /etc/release
[11:51] <callipygous> no such file here
[11:51] <paul98> my bad /etc/lsb-release
[11:52] <callipygous> It says 19.10
[11:52] <paul98> or /etc/os-release
[11:52] <paul98> that will do me
[11:52] <callipygous> and Unity is running fine
[11:52] <callipygous> :)
[11:52] <paul98> :) thanks

[13:43] <Tuor> Hi, why does the new ubuntu server installer write 0 for all partitions in the /etc/fstab?
[13:44] <rbasak> Tuor: could you pastebin an example please?
[13:46] <Tuor> fstab: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2hdn7GJkB2/
[13:47] <Tuor> rbasak: /etc/fstab https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2hdn7GJkB2/
[14:00] <rbasak> Tuor: thanks. Sorry, I'm doing multiple things at once. I asked a colleague if it's correct.
[14:00] <rbasak> Tuor: ah: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1785354
[14:42] <adrian_1908> Anyone know where I'd find  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/sysctl.d/50-default.conf  on my system? I found /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf, but that's a file with only 2 active commands. Using (X)ubuntu 19.10
[14:42] <Tuor> rbasak: thx!
[14:46] <adrian_1908> Found it, files in /etc/sysctl.d/ contain parts of these commands, so they're not in a single 50-default.conf file. I had looked there first of course, but only for 50-default.conf.
[14:57] <ceed^> I got a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7 and going to install Ubuntu now. It's a work machine but without data that isn't constantly backed up. I would really like to install with ZFS but it says "experimental".
[14:57] <ceed^> How experimental is it?
[14:58] <lotuspsychje_> !zfs | ceed^
[15:01] <ceed^> lotuspsychje_: I've read that. I just wonder if people use it on computers for every day use. I remember when other features were launched as experimental but the chance of problems were minimal.
[15:02] <lotuspsychje_> ceed^: you could try bringing up the discussion into #ubuntu-discuss if you like
[15:03] <ceed^> lotuspsychje_: Good idea, thanks. May fit better there :)
[16:09] <plouj> I'm experincing a problem with starting my VPN NM connection in Eoan. journalctl says "Failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were available for this request." Anyone know how to debug whether an agent is running or not? What agent is it expecting in the first place? I've just rebooted the machine so it should be "fresh'
[16:10] <plouj> It's a pretty recent Eoan install, but maybe there's some config problem that's causing the required secrets agent fromt starting?
[16:14] <plouj> Also, I'm pretty sure my secret is stored in the xmlconfig entry of the [vpn-secrets] section of my /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/vpn-conn which makes me wonder why does NM need to talk to a secrets agent if it can get it from its own config.
[16:19] <plouj> Eh, looks like this is only a problem if doing 'nmcli connection up vpn-conn'. Not a problem when starting the VPN via the GUI
[16:40] <jwash> hi everyone, i have this tv: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LN5750-led-tv hooked up to my computer with 18.04.

[16:50] <elias_a> How do I check what media my DVD writer supports?
[16:51] <leftyfb> elias_a: read the documentation on your DVD writer
[16:51] <elias_a> I remember there is a command line tool but cannot recall the name.
[16:51] <elias_a> leftyfb: No papers left. :/
[16:52] <leftyfb> elias_a: google for the model#?
[17:02] <ioria> elias_a, maybe is 'wodim', not sure
[17:06] <ioria> elias_a, or 'dvd+rw-mediainfo'
[17:08] <elias_a> cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info seems to give the necessary information :)
[17:10] <elias_a> ioria: dvd+rw-mediainfo gives information about a medium. I need information about the optical device.
[17:10] <ioria> elias_a, i misread 'what media my DVD writer supports'
[17:12] <BluesKaj> jwash,  some other setting is slowing down your mouse response, I'm using 60Hz on my samsung led tv and there's nothing sluggish about the mouse response
[17:12] <jwash> BluesKaj, i just switch from a samsung 40" to the lg 47"
[17:12] <jwash> was fine with the samsung

[17:14] <BluesKaj> jwash,  using hdmi ?
[17:14] <jwash> yep, same cable
[17:17] <JonelethIrenicus> when using geary i cant remove an email added from gnome online accounts
[17:17] <BluesKaj> does LG have different labels on the HDMI inputsn like game, cable/sat, blu-ray etc?
[17:17] <JonelethIrenicus> the thing is they assume my Google account is also a gmail account
[17:18] <JonelethIrenicus> it isn't
[17:18] <JonelethIrenicus> what can i do?
[17:20] <mouses> JonelethIrenicus: google account = gmail account
[17:20] <mouses> they are one and the same
[17:21] <elias_a> mouses: Are they? I have no gmail attached to my google account.
[17:22] <mouses> elias_a: they are - if you visit mail.google.com and login and all
[17:22] <elias_a> mouses: No they are not. I just checked.
[17:23] <elias_a> mouses: It is fully possible to have a google account without enabling gmail.
[17:23] <mouses> right, but even if not enabled you still 'have it' --> try it.  Create a google account 'without gmail' and send mail to that address.  Then log into gmail.
[17:24] <mouses> at least that's how it used to be, it's a google service though so they might have changed things *shrug*
[17:24] <elias_a> mouses: See https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Google-Account-Without-Gmail
[17:25] <elias_a> mouses: I do _not_ want to have gmail enabled. I try to use as little google surveillance capitalist services as possible. :)
[17:25] <mouses> elias_a: yeah, I just noticed that myself - afaik unless they changed anything, you still 'have gmail' though -> you just are not accessing it
[17:25] <OerHeks> so, geary is an email client, you open google accounts, without email..
[17:25] <OerHeks> great
[17:28] <elias_a> mouses: What exactly do you mean by "Create a google account 'without gmail' and send mail to that address.
[17:29] <leftyfb> Please keep on topic folks. Feel free to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:30] <mouses> elias_a: not really on topic, so not too worried about it :)

[19:31] <shibboleth> yet, you'd have to try really hard to be in a position where this is a practical option
[19:31] <shibboleth> yes
[19:32] <shibboleth> openssl for instance
[19:34] <benjaoming> shibboleth: OpenSSL was an upstream vulnerability, not a clearly malicious/malware package. You mean Heartbleed, right?
[19:34] <mguy> wad: what needs updating?
[19:35] <shibboleth> nah, more how the deb package couldn't be trusted for key generation :)
[19:37] <shibboleth> benjaoming, search for regressions. some are mistakes, others could be someone trying to pull a fast one

[23:10] <d0tsun7> how should i best uninstall and reinstall my nivdia 390 drivers
[23:12] <d0tsun7> i switched from a geforce gtx 2070 to a geforce gs 7900. after the switch i got a lot of "nvidiapersistenced" errors flooding my logs, so i renamed /lib/udev/rules.d/71-nvidia.rules to 71-nvidia.rules.bak and it stopped the persistenced error. But now when i launch my kvm guest windows 10 machine my ubuntu host crashes. it still  runs my guest, but it full on crashes
[23:12] <d0tsun7> thats a geforce gtx 1070* not 2070
[23:12] <d0tsun7> (i moved the 1070 to a vfio gpu passthrough to my windows 10 machine)
[23:13] <OerHeks> interesting windows issue..
[23:13] <OerHeks> lolz
[23:13] <d0tsun7> no...
[23:13] <OerHeks> \reinstall windows, yes.
[23:13] <d0tsun7> the windows machine runs fine. it's my ubuntu host machine with the geforce gs 7900 that crashes
[23:13] <d0tsun7> it's the ubuntu machine i'm needing to fix
[23:14] <OerHeks> sure, reinstall 390 could fix it.
[23:26] <d0tsun7> so yeah -- im just looking for the best procedure to wipe that baby clean and reinstall with sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall maybe
[23:26] <OerHeks> install --reinstall
[23:27] <d0tsun7> will the reinstall switch take for ubuntu-drivers autoinstall --reinstall
[23:30] <OerHeks> i think with ubuntu-drivers you need to return to nouveau first, reboot, and run autoinstall
