[01:16] <pragmaticenigma> Running Kubuntu 18.04, What is the best way to make a display mode sticky so that it's available (not looking for persistance)
[01:33] <jair> hi there I am running ubuntu kernel 4.15.0-22-generic but I am having issues with machine hanging for restart, no rebooting etc...
[01:33] <jair> is there a way I can change the kernel safely or downgrade to kernel 4.9 which was really stable
[01:36] <Tin_man> jair, this link might help..>> https://askubuntu.com/questions/945403/how-to-downgrade-kernel-after-bad-update-16-04?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa
[01:37] <Bashing-om> jair: You have old kernels still intalled .. from the grub boot menu one can select any installed kernel to boot .
[01:38] <jair> Hey guys 1st, Ubuntu 18.04 just sucks! sorry to say I am going back to debian
[01:39] <jair> I did not do an upgrade from 16.04 this was a fresh install for 18.04
[01:39] <jair> and I am really dissapointed
[01:40] <jair> I just wanted to provide a feedback doing this type of realeases in a hurry frustrate everyone and make people waste their time when installing fucking buggy code
[01:40] <jair> I am out and sorry but cannot recommend this
[01:41] <baba___> hello.... is it typical for frequent writes to disk from the kworker process?  can they be reduced?
[01:42] <pragmaticenigma> baba___: Do you know what the kworker process is for?
[01:42] <pragmaticenigma> baba___: I should rephrase... do you know what a kworker process is?
[01:43] <baba___> i tried to correlate it with an underlying cause, but i was not able to get the perf utility to install, oddly...so i tried to generate a backtrace but got nothing from it
[01:44] <pragmaticenigma> baba___: kworker processes are related to the kernel... you don't mess with them
[01:45] <pragmaticenigma> baba___: If you are concerned about an SSD... You will likely replace the SSD for a larger capacity drive, long before you wear out the current drive with writes
[01:45] <baba___> i know, but i thought maybe something was causing excessively frequent activity, namely writes...or maybe the frequency is normal
[01:48] <XenophonF> hey all - I'm trying to install 18.04 on an Inspiron 1501, but I'm stuck at "Started Holds Snappy daemon refresh"
[01:48] <XenophonF> is there an install troubleshooting doc on the wiki that I have somehow managed to overlook?
[01:48] <XenophonF> I'm probably missing something obvious
[01:49] <pragmaticenigma> baba___: kworkers are taking care of system functions at the kernel level. which if they're that low level, it's important... what you might need to do is investigate what applications you are leaving run in the background that might not be needed
[01:55] <baba___> well the great majority of disk accesses is attributed to kworker processes....every other operation on a file is a cached read or similar....so i was wondering if it was excessive...would an access of once every 15 seconds be normal?
[01:55] <RoadRunner> can't get video from my camera in skype; sound is fine, audio test call's ok; but the usb connected Logitech QuickCam is seen by Pulse Audio as a microphone and there is no picture
[01:56] <deusexmachina> Is there a way to make ubuntu use my intel GPU while still allowing me to use CUDA on my nvidia GPUs?
[01:57] <pragmaticenigma> baba___: every 15 seconds... that's nothing to be alarmed about... I thought it was a continuous write going for multiple hours at a span
[01:57] <pragmaticenigma> every 15 seconds is probably a cache flush
[02:02] <baba___> i see.......i wish i had gotten perf to work to examine the kworker processes in more detail...i don't know enough about this to interpret likely causes for kworker activity
[02:12] <baba___> well thanks for your insight....hopefully i can make use of the information......
[02:15] <RoadRunner> could anyone suggest a tool to diag/check a QuickCam; like just to see yourself from it (independently from any other app)?
[03:25] <RobInTaHood193> CAn anyone tell me out to expand my boot sector on my Ubuntu system. I encrypted my hard drive and my system needs updates but can update bc the boot sector has run out of space.
[03:26] <RobInTaHood193> *Can anyone help me out...
[03:27] <RobInTaHood193> Lets start over.... My system needs to update but I encrypted my hard drive and I have ran out of room in my boot sector. Can anyone tell me how to expand my boot sector?
[03:28] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: ' sudo apt autoremove ' will clear out old kernels from /boot ..if the package manager is still in a consistent state .
[03:29] <RobInTaHood193> @bashing-om Thank you for replying. I am sorry but you just spoke another language to me that I do not understand. I am new to Linux.
[03:30] <RobInTaHood193> By running this command is it going to format my boot sector? if it does, how will my bios now where to look for the OS?
[03:31] <RobInTaHood193> *know
[03:31] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: No problem .. we were all new at one time . open a terminal and execute ' sudo apt autoremove ' .
[03:31] <lotuspsychje> !kernelcleanup | RobInTaHood193
[03:33] <linuxliam> how can i tell linux to ignore the TPM module
[03:35] <RobInTaHood193> I thank you for all your help. I will be sure to get the Linux bible tomorrow, but I am desperate today, I have a work form home interview tomorrow and need the updates to connect to the webinar.

[03:39] <Tyagita_> 1K+ user and this serv too quite >.<
[03:39] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: K' so ececite terminal command ' sudo apt autoremove ' and manbe all will be well .
[03:40] <Bashing-om> execute*
[03:40] <Tyagita_> .
[03:41] <RobInTaHood193> Bashing-om I was reading over the SSO that was listed above. Here is hoping. I saw something about unintended upgrades. I guess if one doesn't work, try the other?
[03:42] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: set up unattended-upgrades once the disk space has been reclaimed .
[03:46] <RobInTaHood193> The white paper says to type "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" but when I do, it says the "option g from -get is not understood with the combination with the other options/"
[03:49] <RobInTaHood193> Okay this is what I get when listening to you... "sudo apt autoremove
[03:49] <RobInTaHood193> Reading package lists... Done
[03:49] <RobInTaHood193> Building dependency tree
[03:49] <RobInTaHood193> Reading state information... Done
[03:49] <RobInTaHood193> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
[03:49] <RobInTaHood193> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[03:50] <Bashing-om> !paste | RobInTaHood193
[03:50] <RobInTaHood193> ok
[03:52] <RobInTaHood193> So I did what you guys told me to do and this is what I got... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dMwGSY8h7k/
[03:52] <RobInTaHood193> Sorry about that!
[03:54] <RobInTaHood193> Doesn't look like it freed up space but I get a warning about the /boot sector being out of room and I can do any updates anymore?
[03:54] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: we do this manually then . pastebin ' uname -r ; dpkg -l | grep linux- ' .
[03:55] <RobInTaHood193> I need to update my flash web browsers for this interview.
[03:55] <RobInTaHood193> can't do...*
[04:07] <RobInTaHood193> Ok now I am understanding...
[04:10] <Lux_Xandroid> has anyone had an issue where if you swap vga monitors with your ubuntu machine...the display doesn't return?
[04:10] <RobInTaHood193> Lux_Xandroid. its your settings
[04:11] <RobInTaHood193> I had the same issue when swamping out my monitor and my tv monitor.
[04:11] <RobInTaHood193> you have to know what your monitors frequencies and resolution are.
[04:11] <Lux_Xandroid> oh...ok...
[04:13] <RobInTaHood193> So here is what I get... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/q6k2tNHKfQ/
[04:13] <Lux_Xandroid> So, what what the freq and res on my monitor's menu is identical to what my Display settings are..
[04:14] <Lux_Xandroid> both are the same...nothing changed by me...
[04:15] <RobInTaHood193> Okay so you have to change the setting while still using the old monitor and then your old monitor will stop working then switch to the new. If the settings are right then your new one should work.
[04:15] <Lux_Xandroid> yet, if I were to pull my monitor cable from my box...and re-attach...nothing...no image on the monitor at all..
[04:15] <Lux_Xandroid> same monitor...
[04:15] <RobInTaHood193> That's for the other guys. I just know what worked for me.
[04:16] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: Not what I asked for . Give me what I am familiar with working with, please .
[04:16] <Lux_Xandroid> ok..thanks for the attempt..
[04:18] <Lux_Xandroid> so, I'm working with a stand-alone PC and my Ubuntu box...swapping the monitor to do some work between the two..
[04:19] <Lux_Xandroid> If I pull the monitor cable from the Ubuntu...then put it back on...nothing..
[04:19] <Lux_Xandroid> I just noticed if I turn the monitor off first....no problem..
[04:19] <Lux_Xandroid> odd...
[04:26] <RobInTaHood193> lux_xandroid cool! I have that same issue. I can't wake my monitor up with my mouse, I have to turn the monitor off and back on again.
[04:26] <RobInTaHood193> Thank you you guys, so much for the help! I was able to remove a old kernel and it's image.
[04:28] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: There is still " The following packages have unmet dependencies:" to deal with at some point .
[04:30] <RobInTaHood193> Bashing-om , what's that?
[04:31] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: Your https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dMwGSY8h7k/ paste .
[04:31] <RobInTaHood193> What about it?
[04:33] <RobInTaHood193> i just tried to run the -f  command and I guess I didn't free up enough space bc it gave me disk is full error.
[04:33] <RobInTaHood193> I have plenty of disk space, this must be the /boot again.
[04:33] <RobInTaHood193> I only removed one kernel.
[04:34] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: You will find out, that if the package manager is not happy - no one is happy.
[04:34] <d-STAR> Is Xfce official?
[04:35] <RobInTaHood193> Bashing-om, I am sorry... Not sure what you mean by that?
[04:35] <Bashing-om> dreamon_: xubuntu runs the xfce desktop, so yes xfce is official .
[04:35] <odroid> anyone there?
[04:36] <d-STAR> just wondering to to irc and linux but goodnight
[04:36] <Bashing-om> d-STAR: ^^ sorry dreamon_ for the bad hilight .
[04:37] <RobInTaHood193> Bashing-om Are you indicating that I need to be doing more than uninstalling old kernels?
[04:37] <dreamon_> ;)
[04:38] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: Look at what the package manager is telling you .
[04:40] <RobInTaHood193> This is wheere the error occurred after doing the -f command ... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xn7qX4HnJx/
[04:40] <RobInTaHood193> This is where the error occurred after doing the -f command ... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xn7qX4HnJx/ *
[04:43] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: so now you know you have to be selective as to the kernels that are purged. and you *MUST* Not mess with the booting kernel . what shows ' uname -r ' ?
[04:44] <RobInTaHood193> Bashing-om the dependencies that you speak of was the next updated that was never done bc I ran out of space in the /boot folder.
[04:44] <RobInTaHood193> BGashing-om I just need to do some more hacking to resolve issue.
[04:46] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: "No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error" and the pacjage manager advises where the issue is . run 'uname -r' - that kernel can not be messed around with .
[04:47] <RobInTaHood193> Bashing-om,I read that part. I will not touch "$ uname -r
[04:47] <RobInTaHood193> 4.13.0-36-generic"
[04:48] <RobInTaHood193> You know, this is why Linux hasn't taken over MS Windows, right?
[04:49] <ellyacht> could someone tell the linux eqivalent to setting grub menu to default? I tried 'sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[04:50] <Bashing-om> RobInTaHood193: What ? The house work in linux is much much lighter than in Windows .
[04:51] <ellyacht> RobInTaHood193: lol I just need to reset the grub menu to defualt
[04:52] <Bashing-om> ellyacht: once the edit is made to /etc/default/grub then rin ' sudo update-grub ' to propagate the change to the system .
[04:53] <Bashing-om> ellyacht: if you made no backup of the old grub .. there is no default to fall back too .
[04:53] <ellyacht> Bashing-om: ty I will rtry that
[05:48] <stvn> sniff sniff
[05:48] <thedick> sup
[05:48] <lotuspsychje> stvn: can we help you?
[05:49] <stvn> thought i could smell something... all good. thanks.
[05:52] <MarkB2> Anyone using Glade for gtk UI development?  Where did all the widgets in the Glade UI go?
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: wich version are you trying, and wich version did have the widgets working?
[05:58] <MarkB2> lotuspsychje: I did an apt-get install glade .. which loaded up 3.22.1 .  Starting Glade gives that big full-screen "welcome" display.  Starting a new project.. and no widgets are displayed at left.
[05:59] <MarkB2> The widgets are available via a pull-down at center.. but this is a whopper of a UI change... and I thought I might have screwed something up.
[05:59] <MarkB2> Plus there are a mess of complaints from Glade on start-up.
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: perhaps start glade from terminal, see what kind of errors you get?
[06:02] <MarkB2> That's where I have been starting it from.
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> oh right
[06:03] <MarkB2> Apologies if that wasn't clear.   Should I post up a screenshot?
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: no, perhaps the output of your terminal starting glade in a hastebin?
[06:04] <MarkB2> Yep, that could work.  One moment.
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: never used glade myself, but if on your 18.04 glade doesnt work properly i would suggest a new !bug for it
[06:05] <MarkB2> !paste
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: hastebin.com is a cool one
[06:06] <MarkB2> I just tried hastebin.com .. and it came up with a completely black display.
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: oh yeah, some desktops might do that on hastebin indeed, heared before
[06:08] <MarkB2> https://pastebin.com/6YBWRgkX
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: tnx that looks usefull
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: this bug has same kinda errors, can it help? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glade/+bug/1758256
[06:10] <MarkB2> Thank you, I'll take a look.
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: and another one here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glade/+bug/1303176
[06:12] <MarkB2> Just for the grins and giggles, I just pulled sources from github and tried a compile.
[06:12] <MarkB2> Boatload of errors.
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: we advise to stick to the glade version for your ubuntu version
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: what i would try, is to add myself affected to one of those bugs
[06:13] <MarkB2> And glade 3.22.1 is what's in the repository ...
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> !latest | MarkB2 yes
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: you sure you dont need addons or extra packages for it to work right?
[06:14] <MarkB2> Well, 1758256 was marked as "invalid" as the author had a "buggy glade file".  An empty string as required library..
[06:15] <MarkB2> Nope, not that I'm aware of.
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: ok good
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: affect yourself to the bug most relevant, or create a new one
[06:16] <MarkB2> I had set up a very very basic glade-based thing, sort of like "hello world" for glade.. and switching to 18.04 I wanted to make sure it still ran.
[06:16] <MarkB2> That is, the entire tool-chain to that point still ran.
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: perhaps create a new bug, from terminal ubuntu-bug glade
[06:19] <MarkB2> ubuntu-bug requires apport .. and that one crashes early on during boot.
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: you can add a bug straight from launchpad too if you like
[06:20] <MarkB2> "gladeui/Makefile.am:267: error: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL .
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: ah found another idea, seems theres like a glade snap
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: sudo snap find glade from terminal
[06:22] <MarkB2> Hmm...
[06:23] <OERIAS> Can someone please help me with an AppArmor message erros?
[06:23] <OERIAS> https://ibb.co/bZhEXo
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> OERIAS: snaps are secured default, perhaps it doesnt like profile stuff to change?
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> OERIAS: i presume you using chromium snap?
[06:33] <MarkB2> Now, I know glade for ubuntu 17.10 worked fine.
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: hence, why i would create a bug :p
[06:34] <MarkB2> Unfortunately, I can't compile 3.22.1 because there are dependencies living in the autogen.sh file .. something about introspection... and that's a dud.
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: as said before, we dont suggest compiling yourself, we have it on repo,snap,..
[06:41] <MarkB2> You want a Real Man's Linux?  Slackware.  :-)
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: this is ubuntu support, so we advise ubuntu
[06:46] <stvn> yeah buy ubuntu i'll sell it real cheap mate
[06:46] <MarkB2> I just found a list of instructions on how to build this silly thing.  <groan>  I think the maintainers/developers aren't quite sure what a pointer really is.
[06:50] <MarkB2> lotuspsychje: I did the compile.  Despite warnings galore, it linked up and there is a nice shiny glade .
[06:50] <MarkB2> And i don't believe it.
[06:52] <MarkB2> I suppose I'm behind the times a little... it was kind of nice seeing all those pretty icons and being able to left-click on one and place it onto a GUI.
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: im glad for you, but now the community aint helped on your version
[06:52] <MarkB2> Yah... apparently someone decided that having all those icons was "distracting".
[06:56] <MarkB2> 2:55 AM my time.  Have to be at work in about five hours.
[06:56] <MarkB2> Just slightly bothered that the UI changed so drastically.
[06:57] <skishore86> Hi all
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: evolution of updates ==> new features
[06:57] <MarkB2> lotuspsychje: Thank you for your time this evening.... appreciated.
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: welcome, how can we help you
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> MarkB2: no prob mate
[06:57] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, I have recently installed Ubuntu 18.04
[06:57] <MarkB2> lotuspsyche: perhaps.  maybe I can d/l a previous revision and try that.
[06:57] <MarkB2> Cheers.
[06:57] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, its not shutting down
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: does sudo halt -p work?
[06:58] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, I did not do that.. i held power button for 5 secs.. to shutdown
[06:59] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, So you mean to say each time i want to shut down do i need to do that command (sudo halt -p)
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: when your system is trying to shutdown, can you press F1 to see text shutdown?
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: see at wich line it freezes on you?
[07:00] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, But i figured out one reason.. if my laptop is charging then only this is happening..
[07:01] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, if i unplug charger from my laptop its shutting down properly
[07:02] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: thats weird indeed
[07:02] <skishore86> lotuspsychje,
[07:02] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, yes
[07:02] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: can you try F1?
[07:02] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, sure..
[07:02] <spal> !help
[07:03] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, and one more reason, If there are any updates  in software updater...then also it is not shutting down
[07:08] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, I tried shutting down my pc now.
[07:09] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, it is working propery
[07:09] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, the problem is intermittent
[07:09] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: thats normal behaviour, when updating its taking time to install packages, then shutdown after
[07:09] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, not sure how to get rid of this
[07:09] <skishore86> lotuspsychje, ok got it
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> skishore86: but still im curious at wich step/line it freezes F1?
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> spal: what can we do for you?
[07:14] <spal> lotuspsychje: I was just trying to figure out who the bot is for this channel. Now in a /query window with ubottu. :-)

[07:26] <cloudbud> how to change the  open file limit on a server n what is the optimal value for that
[07:26] <TimeDoctor> start ttyS0 works for the web console, but not on reboot
[07:26] <TimeDoctor> and there's no /boot/grub/menu.1st
[07:27] <TimeDoctor> there's just /boot/grub/grubenv
[07:27] <EriC^^> TimeDoctor: there might be /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:27] <TimeDoctor> EriC^^: there's nothing besides this "grubenv" file
[07:27] <EriC^^> TimeDoctor: is grub2 installed or grub1?
[07:27] <lotuspsychje_> TimeDoctor: 12.04 is eol, unless you pay for esm?
[07:28] <TimeDoctor> lotuspsychje_: yeah that's why I'm trying to get this dude off of it
[07:28] <TimeDoctor> EriC^^: trying to figure that out now
[07:28] <EriC^^> TimeDoctor: dpkg -l | grep grub

[07:29] <TimeDoctor> thanks
[07:29] <EriC^^> TimeDoctor: no other grub packages?
[07:29] <TimeDoctor> EriC^^: that's the only output of that grep
[07:30] <EriC^^> TimeDoctor: odd, must be using some other method of booting?
[07:31] <TimeDoctor> EriC^^: I'm terrified
[07:31] <EriC^^> how does it boot usually?
[07:32] <TimeDoctor> EriC^^: it's an old linode VPS, not sure
[07:32] <TimeDoctor> trying to duckduckgo to see if there's some info about linode and ubuntu not using grub
[07:37] <vlt> TimeDoctor: On my virtal 12.04 machines (on xen) I had to copy and modify /etc/init/tty1.conf to hvc0.conf to get a serial console.

[08:07] <hadifarnoud> doing `sudo dpkg --configure -a` to fix an issue with apt-get. nothing is happening and dpkg is still running. no output or anything
[08:08] <hadifarnoud> been 5 min or so
[08:11] <guiverc> DynV, did you install the snap or deb version of Totem?
[08:14] <DynV> guiverc: no, would that help?
[08:16] <guiverc> DynV, i've noted people here ebfore with issues with h265 & aac with snap version, but seem to have no issues with deb version... I don't use totem & have limited knowledge of video, but it was a though
[08:16] <guiverc> t
[08:17] <DynV> I use the Totem that came in the (Ubuntu) ISO I'm live running.
[08:17] <guiverc> DynV, also you may not have installed either; my 18.04 box has it installed by default (deb version) & is okay
[08:18] <DynV> I'm running 18.14 and it won't play MP4s
[08:18] <DynV> .04*
[08:18] <guiverc> if running a 'live' image limited codecs are provided (only FREE ones; free as in freedom..)
[08:18] <guiverc> dynv you'll need to install the 'bad' or 'ugly' codecs  (non-free ones)
[08:19] <DynV> I've tried pages providing me with more codecs but following their exact instruction sdidn't work
[08:19] <hadifarnoud> doing `sudo dpkg --configure -a` to fix an issue with apt-get. nothing is happening and dpkg is still running. no output or anything. it's been more than 15min
[08:19] <DynV> I know quite little so a simple mistake on their part would make me fail
[08:22] <guiverc> DynV, ugly & bad drivers cannot be installed on iso as non-open-source, so within the `ubuntu-restricted-extras` package you choose to install yourself  (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ubuntu-restricted-extras&searchon=names&suite=bionic&section=all)
[08:23] <mrpanda> hello
[08:23] <mrpanda> howcome if power is present battery discharges ?
[08:25] <guiverc> hadifarnoud, how many 'packed' packages are on your system?  with -a it does all (and not just pending... so could take awhile!)
[08:28] <stvn> mrpanda: my laptop does that with windows, maybe its some life extending shizz for not thrashing the battery with un-needed cycles
[08:28] <mrpanda> ah ok
[08:28] <mrpanda> hope is nyet hardware failure :]
[08:28] <stvn> (i'm not pro help but just an observation of my recent computing)
[08:31] <mrpanda> merci
[08:35] <mrpanda> goodday :)

[08:44] <baako> hey guys i need install https://www.xmpow.com/drivers  " MPBH079AB Driver" on my ubunut where do I do it please
[08:46] <SimonNL> baako: when you are lucky it just works. but you won't find an ubuntu driver there
[08:50] <williamconna> Ubuntu is awesome
[08:53] <Triffid_Hunter> baako: it's a bluetooth audio dongle?
[08:53] <baako> yea
[09:07] <enigma> hello, internet! i'm having some serious issues with my VPN on Ubuntu 18. the VPN is stuck as activated, even on a fresh reboot. if I turn it on using the GUI, it looks like it's working normally, but my IP is unchanged. i can turn it off normally too, but when it's off it's still tunneling through this French server that I am stuck on. does anyone here have any suggestions?
[09:12] <adac> I'm running my openvpn server and I can connect just fine. However on most pages the pages do not load fully
[09:12] <adac> what might be the cause for that?

[09:22] <askljf222> Hello, I'm kind of new to Ubuntu and the linux world as a whole. But right now, one of my tasks is to migrate a "working" cross compiling dev environment from openSuse to Ubuntu. This, however, doesn't work as anticipated. I think that I traced it back to symlinks within some folders not working correctly (they point to an existing file yet when tried to invoke fail). Is someone able to help me or point me in a direction?
[09:25] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[09:27] <enigma> resolved! Firefox was loading quickly. problem was caused by vpn chrome extension
[09:41] <baako> hi guys why am i unable to openany program in ubuntu apart from firebox?
[09:42] <baako> cant open slack or phpstorm
[09:49] <baako_> what do i do please
[09:49] <baako_> i cant open anything
[09:49] <baako_> cant open any of the software i have install
[09:51] <BluesKaj> baako_, describe what happens, does it open and close suddenly or just unresponsive?
[09:52] <baako_> i am trying to open slack but it is not openning
[09:52] <baako_> i then try openning phpstorm and that is not opening
[09:53] <baako_> BluesKaj: it is not opening at all
[09:53] <Triffid_Hunter> baako_: try opening from terminal and see what it says
[09:55] <baako_> Triffid_Hunter: i ran phpstorm & in terminal and got "snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks"
[09:57] <Triffid_Hunter> baako_: I have no idea what any of those things are.. are you running selinux or some sort of extra security installation?
[09:57] <baako_> nope Triffid_Hunter
[09:58] <baako_> only have docker, phpstorm, slack and thundermail on here
[09:58] <baako_> firefox too
[10:01] <baako_> ran sudo apt purge snapd snap-confine && sudo apt install -y snapd and its not showing my application lol
[10:02] <hadifarnoud> @guiverc it's been more than an hour now
[10:04] <guiverc> do you see disk activity? hadifarnoud
[10:04] <ducasse> baako_: which kernel are you running? 'uname -r'
[10:08] <hadifarnoud> how can I check guiverc ?
[10:08] <guiverc> hadifarnoud, if a local machine, you usually see led(s) flash on box...
[10:08] <hadifarnoud> it's not local
[10:09] <hadifarnoud> https://gist.github.com/hadifarnoud/5800331d3326521b85c3f523bcc2647e
[10:11] <mehmet> MERHABA TURKİYEDEN OLAN VAR MI?
[10:11] <guiverc> feared as such.  if you have another term (or can ssh in a 2nd time) i'd look for activity; htop/iotop/iftop/.. to see if it looks 'busy' .. if not I'd be tempted to ^C & abort it; then `sudo apt-get -f install`; but I don't know the background for your issue so don't know why you were running `dpkg --configure -a`
[10:12] <hadifarnoud> guiverc I could not install anything. it would hang it the process. that's why doing configure -a
[10:13] <guiverc> hadifarnoud, didn't you get an error relating to some specific package? and did you try `sudo apt-get -f install`
[10:14] <hadifarnoud> did not do sudo apt-get -f install
[10:14] <hadifarnoud> will try it now
[10:14] <hadifarnoud> even ^C doesn't kill it
[10:14] <BluesKaj> !tr | mehmet
[10:15] <guiverc> hadifarnoud, i'd use another term (ssh in again) & kill from there...
[10:15] <guiverc> (assuming you tried ^C a couple of times...)
[10:16] <hadifarnoud> there seems to be a bigger problem her
[10:16] <hadifarnoud> here
[10:16] <hadifarnoud> can't even kill -9 the process
[10:19] <hadifarnoud> I have another question now. doing a `kill PID` or `kill -9 PID` doesn't seem to work on dpkg
[10:22] <ben72> Hej! Någon annan som fått problem med svart skärm efter senaste uppdateringarna?? ubuntu 18.04
[10:22] <ben72> Sorry wrong channes.. :)
[10:23] <ben72> Anybody seen issues with black screen after installing the latest updates for ubuntu 18.04??
[10:24] <iron_houzi> How can I make 18.04 server hostname change persist? I've edited /etc/hostname, done `hostnamectl set-hostname foo`, but the change doesn't persist between reboots..
[10:25] <iron_houzi> ah .. trying to edit /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg ..
[10:27] <iron_houzi> OK, that worked .. nvm then
[10:36] <BluesKaj> iron_houzi, don't forget ./etc/hosts
[10:36] <BluesKaj> oops /etc/hosts
[11:03] <dabbler> can anyone offer some advice on using bionic as an iscsi target?
[11:06] <dabbler> i see there are two packages that, based on their descriptions, seem like alternatives: tgt and istgt
[11:07] <dabbler> looks like there was an iscsitarget package that was removed after xenial
[11:16] <gra> hello everyone. Do you know if installing ubuntu 18.04 instead of 17.10 will also help fix this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147
[11:30] <adrian_1908> gra: yes, 18.04 should have that fixed. later kernel version, and i'm sure they kept the patch in.
[11:31] <gra> adrian_1908: thank you so much
[11:32] <blackflow> it's fixed even in Artful, but Artful is about to go EOL in a month, so.... go Bionic anyway.
[11:32] <adrian_1908> right
[11:38] <sa_> Hi, can anyone point me to the git repo link for 16.04.x lts releases
[11:39] <ascascqwdasvcfeq> Hi guys, Im installing an ElasticSearch on an operational server and some one said to me that I should consider using coreOS instead of ubuntu, can some recommend me what to do?
[11:51] <XenophonF> dabbler: I've used istgt on FreeBSD.
[11:52] <Cheez>  ascascqwdasvcfeq - if its an operational server, isn't that decision already made for you?
[11:52] <leftyfb> ascascqwdasvcfeq: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:53] <leftyfb> sa_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/
[11:53] <leftyfb> sa_: ubuntu uses launchpad for it's proejects. Not github.
[11:57] <ben72> Where is xorg.conf these days? nothing in /etc/X11 that I can see?
[11:58] <olj001> hello everyone
[11:58] <olj001> can someone help me with live cd and installation ubuntu?
[11:59] <blackflow> ben72: it's no longer used by default. you can always create one if you need it tho'
[11:59] <ben72> ok thanks @blackflow
[11:59] <ben72> I've got an issue with a black screen after installing the latest updates for ubuntu 18.04... :(
[12:00] <ben72> tried everything I can think of now... have to reinstall..
[12:01] <olj001> blackflow can you help me?
[12:01] <sa_> Leftyfb: First 16.04 point release has v4.4 kernel and second 16.04 point release has v4.8. I want to only kernel patches applied for second 16.04 point release, how to extract?
[12:02] <olj001> i want to install ubuntu on my windows tablet
[12:02] <olj001> it only has 32 bit uefi, secure boot off
[12:02] <olj001> i managed to get grub shell
[12:02] <olj001> but when i boot ubuntu from that shell i get black screen
[12:02] <XenophonF> does Ubuntu Server support LUKS?  I don't see an option in the installer for disk encryption but maybe I'm missing the obvious?
[12:03] <Ool> yes
[12:03] <Ool> you can use luks to install an Ubuntu
[12:03] <Ool> but not sure with the default iso
[12:03] <ben72> Can somebody help me with a black screen error after updating 18.04?
[12:04] <Ool> in the partition menu
[12:04] <XenophonF> There isn't an option for LUKS in the partition menu.
[12:04] <olj001> ben72 in grub press e add nomodeset beetween quiet and splash and rpess control+x
[12:04] <olj001> maybe it will work
[12:06] <ben72> olj001 I can boot into terminal but I can't run startx. I just get "open /dev/fb0: Permission denied"
[12:06] <sa_> Is it possible to just update the kernel version without updating the point release? I mean to have v4.8 kernel for 16.04.1?
[12:06] <bugzie2> olj001: Per UEFI spec, the Firmware is 32 bit, not sure what that would matter
[12:07] <bugzie2> olj001: Please learn how the boot process works before making wild claims
[12:07] <olj001> i have grub shell if that helps
[12:08] <olj001> ubuntu boots in commandline, but when it should display some graphics, screen goes off and the rest is working normally
[12:08] <bugzie2> olj001: Grub shell, means the BIOS passed the torched to Grub, at this point, it's UEFI, stuff like that is bad Grub Bootloader configuration
[12:08] <bugzie2> Do you have USB Disk you can boot from to restore Grub
[12:08] <olj001> i don't have installed ubuntu
[12:09] <bugzie2> No USB disck
[12:09] <olj001> i want to install ubuntu on my windows 10 tablet
[12:09] <olj001> i have prepared ubuntu 18.04lts 64 bit
[12:09] <olj001> also i downloaded grub for 32 bit uefi
[12:09] <bugzie2> Why you want to do that, for fun?
[12:10] <olj001> i you only youtube on this tablet  and windows is making this difficult
[12:10] <bugzie2> What Windows 10 tablet you talking about? You mean Surface?
[12:10] <olj001> i have lenovo miix 300-10iby
[12:10] <olj001> intel baytrail processor and 2 GB of ram
[12:11] <bugzie2> Now you said it, I am pretty sure people in this room will speak and help you out
[12:11] <ben72> Can somebody give some paid support?
[12:13] <XenophonF> Canonical can.
[12:13] <leftyfb> ben72: https://www.ubuntu.com/support/plans-and-pricing
[12:14] <XenophonF> It's pretty cheap, all things considered.
[12:16] <ben72> I think you have to get support for 50 units for Ubuntu Advantage? I just have one. :)
[12:17] <XenophonF> bummer :(
[12:17] <XenophonF> can you get to text mode?
[12:18] <XenophonF> oh - you said you can run startx but there's an error about the fb0 device
[12:18] <XenophonF> it's been a while but IIRC you can run the X server by itself to generate a log
[12:18] <XenophonF> maybe `man X` and see what your options are?
[12:19] <XenophonF> or post the full error to gist.github.com or something?
[12:19] <BluesKaj> ben72, whay don't you just terll us your issue , maybe you can get it solved without paying for it in currency , only time :-)
[12:19] <ben72> XenophonF I posted some info here, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1045503/cant-boot-into-xorg-after-update
[12:20] <ben72> BluesKaj if you know something I'm happy hear what you think!
[12:21] <ben72> My next thing to do is to install on a new disk but I would rather have it working...
[12:21] <bugzie3> You not going to help the guy
[12:21] <bugzie3> Just ignore him
[12:22] <bugzie3> This guy about, http://www.ubuntu.com
[12:22] <ben72> I know how it is. If it's an easy fix that you know how to fix it's fun.. :)
[12:23] <bugzie3> I can't believe you guys you just ignore
[12:23] <EriC^^> !ping
[12:23] <BluesKaj> ben72, what kind of screen do you see after trying to boot ?
[12:23] <ben72> It could help to know that I put the disk in another computer and it does the same. no gfx
[12:24] <ben72> it's a black screen with some unrelated errors (I think)
[12:24] <bugzie3> olj001: I believe these guys would help you
[12:24] <guest-m4ortg> hi
[12:24] <bugzie3> You the person I expected with enough information they would provide help
[12:25] <BluesKaj> is this an installed OS or just a disk to install the OS, ben72
[12:26] <ben72> This is what it looks like when booting, https://www.dropbox.com/s/mn910jopziy3hdr/20180610_224059.jpg?dl=0
[12:26] <ben72> BluesKaj, I installed it a few weeks ago and yesterday I just updated the new packages and this happened
[12:27] <ben72> I noticed after updating that I could no longer start applications so I rebooted..
[12:28] <ben72> I'm not sure the errors have anything to do with xorg not starting
[12:28] <BluesKaj> ben72, ok, I'm not familiar with thod eerrors, never encountered them before.
[12:28] <BluesKaj> those
[12:29] <ben72> ok thanks anyway BluesKaj!
[12:29] <ben72> I'm going to install a fresh ubuntu 18.04 now and update so I have a reference platform
[12:29] <BluesKaj> ben72, looks like some kind of partitioning problem
[12:31] <ben72> yes but I think it's not really related to Xorg not starting
[12:31] <ben72> as I can login to a text console and list files
[12:32] <BluesKaj> ok ben72 I re\commend you prepartition your disk, then just use manual partitioning during the installation
[12:32] <limbero_> hi
[12:32] <limbero_> I fucked up a keyscript for ubuntu full disk encryption, and didn't notice it said "target nvme0n1p3_crypt has an invalid keyscript, skipped" before I rebooted
[12:33] <ben72> ok thanks!
[12:33] <limbero_> now booting doesn't work and I get stuck in an initramfs shell. I still know all the passwords for the drive in question, I just don't understand how to decrypt the drive and boot ubuntu from the initramfs shell
[12:34] <bugzie3> limbero_: Grub?
[12:34] <studio> hello
[12:34] <studio> tsglove
[12:34] <limbero_> bugzie3 is grub the gui I choose where to boot from initially?
[12:35] <limbero_> or are you saying it has CLI tools available from initramfs
[12:35] <bugzie3> limbero_: From cold boot
[12:35] <studio> btw hw do i resize mi window in virtualbox kind of have some trouble with it
[12:35] <bugzie3> You get you compute Flash with a logo
[12:35] <bugzie3> Then, if Grub2 is working properly, you can choose
[12:36] <bugzie3> That screen is Grub2 bootloader
[12:36] <limbero_> yeah I can choose ubuntu there
[12:36] <limbero_> grub 2.02
[12:36] <bugzie3> What happens next after you choose that
[12:38] <limbero_> I get the loading screen for ubuntu, and if I hit any key, I see a terminal which says "lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit" and "Volume group ''ubunutu/vg'' not found"
[12:38] <EriC^^> limbero_: what is this 'key script' stuff?
[12:38] <ben72> What happens if I boot on a ubuntu 18.04 usb drive and have 18.04 installed? Do I get an option to re-install the OS and keep user files?
[12:39] <EriC^^> ben72: yes
[12:39] <limbero_> EriC^^ I'm running full disk encryption and I got tired of needing to be home to be able to reboot
[12:39] <ben72> cool maybe that could fix my issue with xorg?
[12:39] <EriC^^> ben72: it maybe do unexpected stuff though, wouldn't recommend the reinstall option, it deleted my windows once
[12:39] <limbero_> so I found this guide http://atterer.org/linux-remove-disable-luks-encryption-password-on-disk-partition-crypttab-initrd to automatically decrypt
[12:39] <limbero_> there's no sensitive data on the boot disk anyhow
[12:39] <EriC^^> ben72: i think it was a known bug, not sure if it was fixed
[12:40] <ben72> ok thanks I don't have Windows anyway so maybe it would work then
[12:40] <EriC^^> ben72: good to have a backup as always ;)
[12:41] <ben72> yes do you have a good backup solution for your desktop?
[12:41] <EriC^^> ben72: i use a script that backs up my /home to an ext hdd
[12:42] <bugzie3> limbero_: Do you have USB disk
[12:42] <bugzie3> limbero_: And does what have can boot from a USB Disk
[12:42] <bugzie3> what you*
[12:43] <limbero_> it can boot from USB, but is currently booting from an NVME SSD
[12:43] <EriC^^> ben72: you could piece something together yourself, look into the rsync command to exclude certain dirs like ~/.cache and stuff
[12:43] <bugzie3> limbero_: Load Ubuntu unto USB Disk, boot from that, and then you can start repair
[12:43] <EriC^^> they take forever to backup and aren't that needed
[12:44] <limbero_> bugzie3 the ubuntu partition is not corrupted
[12:44] <limbero_> it doesn't need repair
[12:45] <bugzie3> limbero_: Ignore my sugestion then, when I have reason to suggest it
[12:45] <bugzie3> If you not take my suggestion, why bother
[12:45] <limbero_> sure I'll do it but you seemed to be prodding at another problem
[12:47] <lisachua> is the major point release for ubuntu 18.04 and gui prompts for upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 still scheduled for june 26?
[12:47] <bugzie3> Please re-elobarate me
[12:47] <limbero_> bugzie3 what I'm saying is I think I can boot the same recovery thing from disk already?
[12:47] <bugzie3> From cold boot
[12:47] <ben72> but I guess the ubuntu installer won't see the files as my disk is encrypted..
[12:47] <bugzie3> Screen flashes, you have Grub 2.02, you hit enter
[12:47] <bugzie3> What happen next?
[12:48] <limbero_> Ubuntu logo + dots animating to show loading
[12:48] <limbero_> then the messages I previously mentioned
[12:48] <bugzie3> Afterwards
[12:48] <bugzie3> Duh
[12:48] <limbero_> nothing, I'm dumped into the initramfs shell
[12:48] <bugzie3> Duh
[12:48] <bugzie3> Do you have a USB disk
[12:49] <limbero_> somewhere almost certainly yes, what size does it need to be to fit some ubuntu recovery?
[12:49] <bugzie3> Too explain, you can't boot into the system, the easist way, instead of trying to fixing from initramfs
[12:50] <bugzie3> Is to have USB disk with Linux installed, then chroot
[12:50] <bugzie3> Repair
[12:50] <bugzie3> But why bother, you think I don't know
[12:51] <bugzie3> What's so frustrating people like you, people actually need help, then I get mad, and I ignore
[12:51] <limbero_> I'm not mad, I'm looking for USB disks
[12:51] <limbero_> I asked how large it needs to be
[12:52] <limbero_> so I don't waste your time, because I'm actually very thankful for your help
[12:53] <bugzie3> I am stepping out
[12:53] <bugzie3> I hope people can help you out
[12:56] <lisachua> is the major point release for ubuntu 18.04 and gui prompts for upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 still scheduled for june 26?
[12:57] <limbero_> to reiterate: if I am in initramfs shell, and I want to decrypt + boot from a disk that is mounted, how do I do it?
[13:07] <dreamcat4> hi there. i'm experiencing an issue on 18.04 whereby pulse audio causes the audio output be opened / closed / re-initialized completely every time i start playback from a media source
[13:08] <dreamcat4> so there is each time a loud bang / clicking sound (like the speakers would make if you rebooted the PC)
[13:08] <dreamcat4> my output is a usb audio interface
[13:08] <dreamcat4> anyone experience a similar issue? this has proven difficult to find an answer for
[13:09] <dorfen> Hi there, in 18.04 how do i get access to pythons easy_install? I have pip and everything else, but the easy_install command is missing
[13:09] <dreamcat4> my usb audio interface is a behringer umc404hd
[13:18] <deem> dorfen: i would say it comes with python(3)-setuptools, but that seems to be not true for bionic. apt-file states, that it is indeed part of these packages, but was not found after installing those packages. packages.ubuntu.com also says, that there is no such binary easy_install. My suggestion would be to use pip, but i can't tell anything about why it's no longer contained in any of these packages
[13:27] <nanaki> question i want to make a shell script that will check my email looking for a email with a xmessage command then have my machine execute that command
[13:27] <nanaki> not 100% sure how id do it
[13:29] <leftyfb> nanaki: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26190163/is-it-possible-to-have-fetchmail-trigger-a-script-when-it-finds-an-unread-email
[13:29] <leftyfb> I would start with fetchmail
[13:32] <nanaki> well that is defo giving me a starting point
[13:32] <nanaki> i already got a sh to send me a email alert if some one tries to log in while im away from the comp for a few minutes
[13:33] <super> hi
[13:33] <nanaki> basically i want to be able to do things like use xmessage to send a message or issue a shut down command
[13:34] <kupi> hi
[13:34] <kupi> where can I find the gcc flags of ubuntu?
[13:34] <kupi> packages?
[13:35] <nanaki> oh heck this looks dead simple honestly
[13:36] <nanaki> like 8 lines worth of basic code
[13:36] <closure> what
[13:37] <nanaki> setting up a shell script to check a email account then execute a command it finds there that is hard coded
[13:37] <nanaki> will have basically 2 maybe 3
[13:37] <nanaki> 1 to send a message to screen via xmessage
[13:37] <leftyfb> kupi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain/CompilerFlags    first result on google for "ubuntu default gcc flags"
[13:38] <nanaki> 1 that will shut the system down and a final to simply lock my screen if i forget
[13:39] <kupi> leftyfb: I don't see any -O flag there
[13:39] <kupi> so ubuntu is not using -O?
[13:40] <leftyfb> kupi: sorry, I don't know enough about this to give that answer. I only know enough to look up documentation.
[13:41] <leftyfb> kupi: you might try #ubuntu-devel
[13:41] <adrian_1908> kupi: ubuntu uses -O2 for most packages I'm pretty sure.
[13:51] <Furai> Does anyone have problems with files loading hella long when run from the launcher? (Ubuntu 18.04)
[13:51] <Furai> But when I just launch nautilus directly from the command line it's instant.
[13:57] <XenophonF> ben72: if it's truly a root/rootless issue, maybe you could cheat and chown root/chmod +s the X server?
[13:57] <XenophonF> (just saw your askubuntu post0
[13:57] <XenophonF> gah can't type today
[13:59] <XenophonF> I'd hate to tell you to install 18.04 fresh, but...
[14:03] <ben72> XenophonF, yeah I'm installing on another disk now to have a reference platform and maybe figure something out
[14:03] <ben72> installed 17.10 like I did with the other and now updating to 18.04

[14:15] <ben72> jnetw what happens now when you boot?
[14:17] <sa_>  final 5th point release of an 16.04 LTS gets 2years 9 months support, what kind of support comes in this period?
[14:19] <leftyfb> sa_: same as all the rest of the point releases
[14:20] <sa_> leftyfb: prior point releases gets kernel updates, but here kernel won;t change, right?
[14:20] <ben72> pointless? :)
[14:21] <compdoc> the kernel will get updates, along with the rest. 16.04 will be a useles OS until support stops
[14:21] <compdoc> *a useful OS
[14:47] <Mattx> Hi. I'm trying to install java9 from ppa:webupd8team/java, but it says there's no candidate available. how do I check what the problem is?
[14:47] <Mattx> The package is supposedly called "oracle-java9-installer"
[14:50] <leftyfb> Mattx: It's not available anymore
[14:51] <Mattx> how come?
[14:53] <Mattx> leftyfb, how is it possible java 8 is available but java 9 "has reached end of support"?
[14:54] <XenophonF> Isn't Java 9 EOL?
[14:54] <Mattx> yeah, it seems
[14:54] <leftyfb> Mattx: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java
[14:54] <Mattx> it looks like they support 8 and 10, but not 9. don't know why
[14:55] <leftyfb> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html
[14:55] <XenophonF> yeah that's weird
[14:55] <Fuchs> because 8 is LTS
[14:56] <Fuchs> 9 is not and out of support, 10 is short term as well, and breaks loads of stuff

[15:56] <Karlkb> I am seeking suggestions for vnc.   I cannot get gnome to start through vnc.  I can send an xterminal to my window, so I know I do have basic X functionality working.  I am using 18.04. and my xstartup is very basic .  I am using tightvnc.
[15:56] <Karlkb> Could anyone offer guidance to an xstartup known to work with gnome in 18.04?
[15:58] <leftyfb> Karlkb: out of curiosity, why do you use VNC for?
[15:58] <Karlkb> remote desktop.  I tried nomachine, but am having flickering problems.  I go through ssh tunnel.
[15:59] <leftyfb> Karlkb: remote from your home to your home?
[15:59] <Karlkb> leftyfb: from home, to work.
[15:59] <leftyfb> Karlkb: why not use something like teamviewer?
[16:00] <pankaj> Is their any resource of tutorial on how to custom compile linux kernel in ubuntu? Please help
[16:00] <Karlkb> leftyfb:  ignorance probably.  I'll try if recommended.  I tried nomachine, but as I mentioned it was flickering.
[16:01] <leftyfb> pankaj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile  # first result on google for "ubuntu compile kernel"
[16:02] <nanaki> well i feel stupid its just a .file i create in my home dir lol

[16:09] <Trel> I did apt purge to remove a couple applications, and then did systemctl daemon-reload, but when I do systemctl list-units, it still shows entries for the two apps I removed, and says "not found" for the status.  Any idea how I can get it to recognize that they're gone?
[16:10] <Trel> I'm on 16.04 LTS
[16:17] <eelstrebor> kinda disappointing that firefox 60.0.1 gives insecure website messages but 60.0.2 doesn't - i had to manually install 60.0.2 - why wasn't this in the repos so that i could use apt or synaptic?
[16:19] <Shaan> Hi Ive booted up my pc with the Ubuntu install media, however all i get after the purple screen, is a blinking cursor.. any suggestions what might the issue be?
[16:19] <eelstrebor> kinda embarrassing to yell at my bank
[16:20] <eelstrebor> Shaan, you may have to reboot with the temporary kernel setting of nomodeset
[16:21] <eelstrebor> "quiet splash nomodeset"
[16:27] <Dudu> éjaculer
[16:35] <Shaan> eelstrebor: Could you kindly please explain how?
[16:35] <Shaan> eelstrebor: All i get is the purple screen with keyboard and globe for a few seconds then the blinking cursor
[16:48] <rfm> Shaan, try pressing ESC as soon as the keyboard/globe screen appears.  I think it may then show the keyboard layout selection, press ESC again and you should get the boot options screen.  F6 is where the options are.
[16:49] <Karlkb> leftyfb: Thanks for your help earlier.  I tried teamviewer, and it seems to be working very well.
[16:57] <pankaj> What is the use of .config file while compiling kernel from source. How to understand and change it (if possible)?
[17:02] <leftyfb> pankaj: did you read the link I gave you? The first result on google for "ubuntu compile kernel"?
[17:03] <eelstrebor> Shaan, when you boot up, press and hold the shift key and you should be able to get a boot menu, type e to edit, change the line with the word splash in it and add nomodeset to the end of the line
[17:04] <eelstrebor> rfm, when i press the ESC key I get a prompt with grub> but not menu - i'm running 64 bit ubuntu 16.04.4
[17:11] <RonWhoCares> How do I do this correctly to not get the error @ https://pastebin.com/wpX397JS

[17:13] <leftyfb> pankaj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[17:14] <leftyfb> pankaj: first result on google for "ubuntu compile kernel"
[17:14] <ioria> RonWhoCares, there is no bionic release for that ppa
[17:14] <pankaj> leftyfb: Sorry, Not that one
[17:14] <DirtyCajun> @RonWhoCares, that repo does not have a bionic release
[17:15] <DirtyCajun> although you should be able to edit your apt sources and change it to xenial and it work fine
[17:15] <leftyfb> pankaj: ?
[17:17] <pankaj> leftyfb: It looks to be a very old documentation.
[17:17] <leftyfb> pankaj: it's still relevant.
[17:17] <leftyfb> pankaj: compiling a kernel hasn't changed much
[17:18] <pankaj> leftyfb: OK.
[17:33] <pankaj> leftyfb: I am following a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCajIMp9poc&t=9s. Just one reason I do not get that why some have easy way to compile linux kernel?
[17:33] <leftyfb> pankaj: why are you trying to compile the kernel?
[17:33] <pankaj> leftyfb: Just for learning
[17:34] <leftyfb> pankaj: then you need to read the documentation
[17:34] <leftyfb> pankaj: you might also try #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-kernel
[17:34] <pankaj> leftyfb: But I also want to install modules and device drivers specific to my system only so that I can have proper grasp that how ubuntu or linux handles kernel modules and device drivers so that i can also play around with them.
[17:35] <leftyfb> pankaj: then you need to read more
[17:36] <pankaj> leftyfb: Just want some resource or help to get there.
[17:37] <leftyfb> pankaj: and I gave you a good resource
[17:37] <pankaj> leftyfb: Like I know about config file but if I could understand how can I modify it or what can I do with device drivers stuff also.
[17:37] <pankaj> leftyfb: What : #ubuntu-kernel and #ubuntu-devel
[17:38] <leftyfb> pankaj: https://linuxhint.com/linux-kernel-tutorial-beginners/
[17:38] <leftyfb> pankaj: please use google
[17:38] <ben72> Ah! It's finally solved! I fixed the black screen after update by purging ppa for proprietary amd gfx drivers. :)
[17:40] <pankaj> leftyfb: Ah!! You know that there are lot of stuff on google and different also. I search and get the resources but it happens that either it is for advance level or a very basic ( that I already know). What about editing or having features of my own that I want to use while compiling the kernel and manything more.
[17:40] <pankaj> leftyfb: If that is not the case then compiling custom kernel is like copying and pasting and nothing to learn about my system.
[17:41] <pankaj> leftyfb: Like atleast I can edit or enable some features in .config file according to myself that I want (I know that it is too big to grasp) but if I could understand the sections and configure upto some extent it would be better.

[17:45] <oule> Hi! how can i uninstall telegram, I tried wih logitheque & it doesn't works
[17:45] <JustTheDoctor> how do i get apt-get to not install something it started to try and install and does not complete it errors out
[17:45] <leftyfb> JustTheDoctor: remove the package
[17:45] <leftyfb> oule: use apt/apt-get
[17:46] <nacc> oule: the snap or the deb?
[17:46] <nacc> leftyfb: --^ it depends on that
[17:46] <leftyfb> yep
[17:46] <leftyfb> or whatever logitheque is
[17:46] <oule> i dl it on the official site, it's a tar.xyz
[17:47] <_Dbug_> "Logiteque" == "Software Library"
[17:47] <nacc> oule: you probably should not have done it that way
[17:47] <nacc> oule: did you then do a `make install` or something?
[17:48] <oule> no, i just click on the telegram file
[17:49] <oule> *clicked
[17:49] <nacc> oule: uh, just delete the directory then?
[17:50] <ioria> nacc, that pkg only contains 2 binaries : Telegram and Updater
[17:50] <nacc> oule: you never 'install'ed it, so there's nothing to uninstall
[17:50] <nacc> ioria: the tarball? i see.
[17:50] <ioria> nacc, yep
[17:51] <v0lksman> I just upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 but now my resolve.conf shows my dns servers as <IP_ADDRESS> which fails but lookups off <IP_ADDRESS> work.  Why is that and how can I change it to <IP_ADDRESS> permanently?
[17:52] <oule> so if i remove the files telegram & update  it will be no problems?
[17:52] <leftyfb> v0lksman: Desktop or server?
[17:53] <oule> no depedents files will remain on my computer?
[17:53] <nacc> oule: if you only did what you described, yes.
[17:53] <nacc> oule: i guess it's possible config files might remain in ~/ but you'd need to ask telegram about that
[17:53] <oule> ok thanks
[17:53] <v0lksman> it's a bastardized desktop
[17:53] <leftyfb> v0lksman: how so?
[17:53] <v0lksman> in that the gfx drivers don't work and we just ssh into it
[17:55] <phinxy> Have anyone else had the annoyance of Debian default user being 1000 while Ubuntu uses something else?
[17:56] <phinxy> Hmm what if I make a group with ID 1000 and add myself to it?
[17:57] <leftyfb> phinxy: UID != GID
[17:57] <compdoc> phinxy, ubuntu often makes my account 1000
[17:57] <compdoc> on fresh installs
[17:58] <phinxy> Aha so its not Ubuntu's fault
[17:58] <phinxy> I created a new user 1001
[17:59] <compdoc> you should see the account numbers when you join an ubuntu server to a windows domain. heh
[17:59] <phinxy> in /etc/passwd there is no user with id 1000
[18:00] <pavlos> phinxy: what do you get when you type id on terminal?
[18:01] <v0lksman> what I don't get is if it's supposed to get the DNS info from my DHCP server why is it <IP_ADDRESS>?  that's not what every other dhcp client gets
[18:01] <ntd> so, yet another kernel update and no release notes on usn
[18:02] <phinxy> Can't wait for 5.0
[18:03] <han_> My display flips upside down.  Annoying
[18:03] <ntd> may be a blast, my point is that i'd like USN not to be two/three days behind

[18:11] <ntd> nacc, http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/
[18:11] <ntd> why is -23.25 hidden/not listed?

[18:11] <nacc> ntd: it's very clearly there. linux_4.15.0-23.25, which is the directory I *just* linked to.
[18:12] <ntd> my bad. need coffee
[18:12] <ntd> -23.25 seems quite useful though
[18:12] <nacc> to get the changelog locally, i was able to do `apt changelog linux-headers-4.15.0-23-generic`

[18:22] <ntd> just to mention a few....
[18:22] <nacc> varshitbhat: you're not listening to what lotuspsychje is saying. They are asking you to try the snap, not the deb.
[18:24] <nacc> ntd: i mean, they are all (so far) in the CVE tracker, at least. There's only so much time and prioritization happens. Like I said, though, not a support topic, per se. I'd poke in #ubuntu-hardened if you're particularly concerned.
[18:25] <ntd> isn't imagetragic used for -desktop thumbnailing?
[18:25] <ntd> so infected img+browse=pwned
[18:26] <ntd> but let's worry about that in say.... 18 months?
[18:26] <nacc> ntd: i don't know, that's a question for #ubuntu-hardened, as well.
[18:28] <lotuspsychje> ntd: you can join the channel with /j #ubuntu-hardened if you like

[18:36] <nacc> oerheks_: ah i see! :) thanks for clarifying
[18:38] <oerheks_> first you checked, now you ask where to check, gambl0re ?
[18:38] <oerheks_> :-D
[18:39] <gambl0re> oerheks_, what are you even talking about?
[18:40] <lotuspsychje> gambl0re: it means, you just said you checked sound, then ask where to find sound?
[18:40] <gambl0re> i asked where to find volume applet
[18:41] <lotuspsychje> gambl0re: so you didnt check sound?
[18:41] <gambl0re> i checked that already
[18:41] <oerheks_> rboot, brb
[18:43] <nacc> gambl0re: what did you check when you say you 'checked sound' if not the volume applet?

[18:46] <gambl0re> oerheks, why dont you actually try to help instead of typing your stupid shortcut commands
[18:46] <Curlyears> no, no, I need to knnow how to MAKE a booitable/iknstallable USB thiumb, not how tpo use oen
[18:46] <gambl0re> Curlyears, theyre laptop speakers
[18:46] <leftyfb> gambl0re: there's no reason for the hostility. oerheks is one of the best helpers here.

[18:58] <Curlyears> damn, the path there is to use mkusb-nox.   But the point of this exercise *IS* to back up my files.  mkusb-nox explicitly warns the user to make a backup, priot to running mkusb-nox.   DAMN
[19:00] <Curlyears> leftyfb:  yeah, sorry.   You message appeared just after ine addressed to me, and I misread them as beng onme message.,   Agaqin, sorry
[19:00] <leftyfb> Curlyears: exercise?
[19:01] <slingamn> i'm on bionic, and i was using openjdk-11-jre
[19:01] <slingamn> i installed openjdk-8-jre as well for compatibility with the android sdk
[19:02] <slingamn> now `java -version` reports 1.10, but `javac -version` reports 1.8
[19:02] <Curlyears> leftyb:  naw, diabetic neuropathy of the hands.  Sorry for the crummy typing.
[19:02] <nacc> slingamn: jdk vs. jre
[19:03] <Curlyears> bionic is what I am trying to get installed here
[19:03] <slingamn> makes sense...is there a way to make java 10 the default for everything unless JAVA_HOME is set?
[19:04] <Curlyears> oerhek:    any  thoughts?
[19:06] <nacc> slingamn: i think if intstall the 10 jdk package, and then run `sudo update-alternatives --config javac` (and for java, etc)
[19:06] <nacc> slingamn: you would get close
[19:07] <IntelCore> Various times my laptop boots and has 'Failed' on a mount. Then it loads ubuntu, where I can click with nautilus, and the directory mounts.
[19:07] <IntelCore> Not every time, mind you.
[19:08] <leftyfb> IntelCore: you know the answer to this. You resolved it last time
[19:08] <IntelCore> leftyfb, yea.. two shut-downs. and it still happened next boot after that
[19:09] <leftyfb> IntelCore: you said it fixed it last time
[19:09] <Curlyears> anyone: assistance with getting a BlueRay writable to write iso's, and assistance creating a boot USBw/unbuntu18.04 installer on it.
[19:10] <IntelCore> leftyfb - that boot it did.. next, happened again.. and I used the default ubuntu DE and ubuntu booted ok the next time.
[19:10] <Curlyears> the websites I was pointed to earlier are not explicit about how I sp[ecifiy the usb drive.
[19:11] <oerheks> writing an iso to blueray ??
[19:11] <IntelCore> * I tried to vire a blueray in my dvd
[19:12] <IntelCore> view
[19:12] <Curlyears> oerheks:  two separate problems.  1) back  up myu data on a Blueray disc, 2) create a bootable USB thumb
[19:12] <Curlyears> IntelCore:  you have to have a BlueRay commpatible drive to use BlueRay discs
[19:13] <IntelCore> Curlyears.. yea.. that why it did not play with vlc
[19:13] <leftyfb> Curlyears: My opinion, don't waste your time using optical media for backups. It's got a shorter shelf-life and WAY less space and manageability
[19:13] <Curlyears> I have a writable Bl;ueRay drive.
[19:13] <gambl0re> ive got audio on left side only. how do i balance it
[19:13] <oerheks> writing data to blueray is no problem, AFAIK, just playing movies can be a trouble finding keys
[19:14] <ppf> so, when trying to install something from a ppa that violates some dependency, how do i get apt to tell me _which_ dependency
[19:14] <oerheks> pinning, ppf
[19:14] <ppf> oerheks: ?
[19:14] <oerheks> !pinning
[19:14] <ppf> i know, but that's not what i was asking for :)
[19:14] <Curlyears> leftyb:   I have a BlueRay writab;le drive, and 25 BlueRay blanks, and a 10.5GB arachivew of data to backup so I can install 10.04 fresh
[19:15] <Curlyears> 187.04, sowwy
[19:15] <Curlyears> 18.04   *sheesh*
[19:15] <leftyfb> Curlyears: https://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-Cruzer-Blade-16GB-USB-Flash-Drive-SDCZ50-016G-AFFP/44684747
[19:15] <leftyfb> Curlyears: $60 for a usb flash drive with more space ... on one device
[19:15] <leftyfb> oops
[19:16] <leftyfb> $6.00
[19:16] <ppf> oerheks: i want to know _which_ dependency is violated
[19:16] <Curlyears> leftyb:  II have NO money
[19:16] <IntelCore> 10gig into data directory. thumb drive that
[19:16] <leftyfb> Curlyears: you don't have $6 ?
[19:16] <Curlyears> a BlueRay disc will hold 15GB  of dsata
[19:17] <slingamn> i figured it out i think
[19:17] <Curlyears> lefttyb:  until July3, I h ave exactly $0.10 balance on my debit card. amd $0.00 cash
[19:17] <retiform> hey I am about to nuke my /uefi parition so I can dual boot.  Can a I make a new UEFI Parition later, or should I make an empty parition rn?
[19:17] <slingamn> i needed to install openjdk-11-jdk, at which point i could configure the desired version using update-java-alternatives
[19:17] <sruli> server on 18.04, if i make any changes to netplan or disconnect/reconnect nic cable i cannot get new ip lease, i need to reboot the server, anyone know what is the correct way to get new ip lease without reboot?
[19:17] <retiform> I am not currently using grub
[19:17] <ppf> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YfX9gDWVnh/

[19:18] <retiform> sruli, do you want to a new public or internal IP?
[19:18] <retiform> also is it a fixed IP? sruli
[19:18] <sruli> retiform: ip from dhcp server on local network
[19:18] <leftyfb> sruli: 2018 Jun 08 11:09:31 <leftyfb>	sruli: sudo systemctl restart networking.service
[19:19] <sruli> leftyfb: that did not help
[19:19] <leftyfb> sruli: that will restart networking/renew lease
[19:19] <nacc> slingamn: ah yes, i forgot about that command
[19:19] <sruli> leftyfb: also on fresh install (different server) networking.service does not exists
[19:20] <nacc> ppf: you can try and resolve it for apt
[19:20] <ppf> is there some sort of verbose mode in apt?
[19:20] <nacc> ppf: `sudo apt install cuda cuda-9-2`
[19:20] <Curlyears> :(
[19:20] <ppf> nacc: yes i can walk the chain, but that's tedious
[19:20] <nacc> ppf: you can keep drilling down until you get the root dependency failure
[19:20] <nacc> ppf: that's the way the world works.
[19:21] <retiform> does anyone know what bootloader ubuntu uses for uefi?
[19:21] <ppf> nacc: that's disappointing!
[19:21] <nacc> retiform: grub.
[19:21] <Curlyears> that's weird.   If I put an emjo at the end of a line, it is the same size as the text height.  If I pu an emoji ALONE on a line, it displays at dpouble line height
[19:22] <retiform> nacc, thanks!  I shall now go break my computer at will!
[19:22] <sruli> leftyfb: see https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ktKrKvhx9j/  for output of "systemctl list-unit-files | grep net"
[19:23] <nacc> ppf: i mean, sort of. you're doing something wonky (or the ppa is)
[19:24] <IntelCore> leftyb - so I looked at all this, Unit, systemd..
[19:24] <ppf> nacc: well, yes, but that wasn't what the question is about :) it's about apt's reporting
[19:24] <gambl0re> ive got audio on the left side only. how do i adjust the left/right sound balance?
[19:27] <IntelCore> nacc dont let him break his efiboot.
[19:27] <nacc> ppf: you really don't want apt to try to be any smarter here, complexity in the package manager is not a good thing
[19:28] <nacc> ppf: and it's *already* really complex
[19:28] <ppf> nacc: but would that really add complexity? it has to prove unsatisfiability, why not print the counterexample?
[19:28] <nacc> ppf: it did print the counterexample
[19:29] <ppf> the first line of it maybe
[19:29] <nacc> ppf: based upon exactly what you told it to, it cannot install cuda because cuda needs cuda-9-2 and cuda-9-2 is not isntallable.
[19:29] <nacc> ppf: you really want to wait the several minutes it might take for apt to recurse through a deep and wide tree? no, you don't.
[19:30] <nacc> ppf: in any case, you probably want #apt or something, if you really want that to change
[19:30] <ppf> of course not, but how does it not have this information
[19:30] <ppf> i mean, it needs to prove that cuda-9-2 is not installable
[19:30] <nacc> ppf: because it doesn't recurse
[19:30] <nacc> ppf: it tries to satisfy cuda's dependencies, by checking they are all installable
[19:30] <nacc> ppf: the *only* think you've told apt to install is cuda
[19:30] <ppf> how does it no when they're installable
[19:30] <IntelCore> leftyfb ?  -- I think cas I ran upstart, tha whole thang is in dev modes now?
[19:31] <ppf> or when they aren;t
[19:31] <nacc> ppf: that i'm not sure about; presumably by looking at their dependencies; also there can be many reasons someting is not installable
[19:31] <nacc> ppf: it might do a behind the scenes dry-run install of just that package
[19:32] <IntelCore> systmd_ is difficult for me
[19:33] <nacc> ppf: honestly, it might also use a solver, im not sure; i bet you can google around online
[19:38] <sruli> "netplan ip leases br0" i get error no leases found for interface bro... no such file or dir /run/systemd/netif/leases/6
[19:38] <sruli> leftyfb: ^
[19:38] <ppf> not sure how much energy i want to invest really :)
[19:38] <ppf> i'll talk to the #apt guys
[19:39] <ppf> how to i show which source a package comes from again?
[19:40] <IntelCore> old synaptic pkg mgr, I like
[19:41] <leftyfb> sruli: sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
[19:42] <sruli> leftyfb: tried that sill no ip renewal
[19:42] <sruli> leftyfb: i tried al 3 network related units that are enabled, no renewal without reboot
[19:43] <leftyfb> sruli: sorry, I have yet to mess around with netplan
[19:43] <IntelCore> leftyfb : "quote" across hibernate kernel rescans USB and creates new device path, but mount point remains associated with device that no more exists.
[19:43] <IntelCore> It looks like we need to revalidate device associated with mount point every time new mount event is processed.
[19:44] <sruli> leftyfb: it seems not enough people have enough experience with it for ubuntu to make it default in 18.04
[19:45] <ceibal> juegos de motos
[19:47] <IntelCore> leftyfb > "Quote"  in my case the partition is on internal SATA drive, and happening every here and there during regular bootups of the desktop system.
[19:47] <IntelCore> Systemd version is 228 from the current archlinux (but also occured on 227, not sure about older ones).
[19:47] <IntelCore> How do i updates systemd?
[19:47] <leftyfb> IntelCore: uh, Archlinux?
[19:48] <IntelCore> (on github, found a page to read.)
[19:48] <leftyfb> IntelCore: are you having the issue right now?
[19:49] <IntelCore> 229 is in my pc.
[19:50] <IntelCore> leftyfb, yea.. the boot here was -failed mnt. and still on
[19:50] <leftyfb> IntelCore: run: sudo mount -a
[19:50] <IntelCore> k
[19:51] <IntelCore> no medium found sr0
[19:51] <ioria> ppf, apt-cache show  package | grep -i source
[19:51] <IntelCore> er, /dev/sr0
[19:51] <Trel> I did apt purge to remove a couple applications, and then did systemctl daemon-reload, but when I do systemctl list-units, it still shows entries for the two apps I removed, and says "not found" for the status.  Any idea how I can get it to recognize that they're gone?  (16.04 LTS)
[19:52] <IntelCore> ..... Trel. any unmounted happening anywhere?
[20:01] <AdamDay70> So I had a xerox workcenter setup for a while on this laptop, then they had to change the IP to the printer because someone's device stole the printer's IP for some reason... I know how to change the IP in windows, but I have no idea for linux...
[20:03] <oerheks> localhost:631 is your solution perhaps?
[20:05] <IntelCore> leftyfb > no medium found /dev/sr0
[20:06] <IntelCore> What is all this stuff? cgroup? mounted for?
[20:10] <IntelCore> Hello? is it dvd drive did not reply to systemd, or the usb drive that I recently used? And I set my boot order to make the live disk for 18.04 on usb.
[20:11] <IntelCore> Leftyfb .. and I also thought it was hibernate/hybrid state of windows
[20:12] <IntelCore> So, when ubuntu now boots, mounting (whatever it is) fails.. and I have to go to the 'place' and open the directory for it to mount up
[20:13] <nacc> AdamDay70: how do you set it up ? what version of ubuntu? If 16.04 or later, probably just settings -> printers ?
[20:13] <IntelCore> since I had this, I reset the boot order bios, and still made no difference.
[20:18] <shazbotmcnasty> Hey there. I'm trying to set up SFTP on one of my servers, to make it so we can write to another computer on the network. So wan -> ubuntu(with FTP) -> NAS that is mounted on ubuntu server
[20:18] <shazbotmcnasty> Does anyone know how to do this, or know where I could get some info on a similar set up?
[20:20] <IntelCore> ftp is not that way
[20:20] <ubuntu> hi
[20:20] <IntelCore> tried lan ?
[20:20] <shazbotmcnasty> What do you mean?
[20:21] <IntelCore> ftp server..one side.. you connect to it with, a client
[20:21] <shazbotmcnasty> ...yeah..
[20:22] <IntelCore> And you can't like do more than DL files
[20:22] <shazbotmcnasty> You can upload with ftp
[20:22] <IntelCore> yea from the client side
[20:22] <Guest64022> I just got an upgrade on windows for vlc, 3.0.3 which has hardware acceleration, but on ubuntu the latest version seems to be just 2.2.2. is this the latest on ubuntu/linux?
[20:23] <shazbotmcnasty> yeah, that's what the point is. I'm backing up a server on the wan to this FTP server that's connected to my nas
[20:23] <IntelCore> vlc 18.04 version soon
[20:23] <nacc> !info vlc | Guest64022
[20:23] <nacc> Guest64022: you didn't say which version of ubuntu
[20:23] <shazbotmcnasty> like my ftp server has a nas mounted as a drive, and I want to set FTP up so this server on the wan can authenticate as a client and upload the backups
[20:23] <leftyfb> shazbotmcnasty: I would use rsync over ssh
[20:24] <nacc> Guest64022: the snap is also at 3.0.3
[20:24] <shazbotmcnasty> leftyfb: I'd be ok with that. I was just trying FTP because that's what is built into the GUI of this wan-side plesk server
[20:25] <shazbotmcnasty> leftyfb: but if you've got some info on how to set up backups from one server to another over the wan with rsync over ssh i'm in
[20:25] <IntelCore> cloud
[20:25] <leftyfb> shazbotmcnasty: just lookup "ubuntu rsync" or "ubuntu rsync over ssh"
[20:26] <Guest64022> nacc,  so the updates depend on the distro... what if one keeps and old version? there could be a way to install the latest vlc version?
[20:27] <shazbotmcnasty> I wanted to use FTP because i won't be the person doing this forever and the new people don't know how to use linux and want everything GUI - so the plesk server has ftp settings in the backup scheduler - which is why I would like to use FTP  https://www.screenshottr.us/v/3609503535cf9864a105b9f07c8ab78f/d5cac05a3dd2ecb4a5a5df9d5b1c458e.png
[20:27] <nacc> Guest64022: ... well, yes, you get your updates from your distribution.
[20:27] <nacc> Guest64022: I don't know understand your questions
[20:27] <Guest64022> pepple with old machines often have older distros
[20:27] <IntelCore>  When i type: systemctl list-unit-files, and I see 'masked' and disabled.. what to do?
[20:28] <Guest64022> I mean, that perhaps the latest vlc update doesnt work with older versions of ubuntu
[20:29] <IntelCore> I have a machine with win7 and 40gig drive and can't get ubuntu early version for it..
[20:30] <IntelCore> Like 12.04?
[20:31] <Guest64022> have you tried lubuntu? its the lightest ubuntu derivative and uses very low resources
[20:31] <nacc> Guest64022: 1) are you asking how a distribution works? 2) use the vlc provided by your distribution 3) if you want a newer vlc, use the snap, or upgrade your distribution.
[20:32] <Guest64022> try the live cd alternate version. it will run smoothly, Im sure
[20:33] <Guest64022> what is "snap"?
[20:34] <Guest64022> thing is, if you upgrade your distro, in the end it will make your old pc slow
[20:37] <nacc> Guest64022: i don't know what you're talking aobut. I'm not going to use a live cd right now.
[20:37] <nacc> Guest64022: snaps are a new packaging format
[20:37] <nacc> Guest64022: an application ships as a squashfs with all of its dependencies included
[20:38] <nacc> Guest64022: i've upgraded this particular machine through every release from 15.10 or so without issue. So please do not extrapolate from your single experience to all users.
[20:39] <leftyfb> nacc: my god .. you're a madman :)
[20:39] <nacc> leftyfb: aka i know how to undo the stupid things i've done on my machines :)
[20:41] <Guest64022> usually that is what happens with newer and newer upgrades, because these require more hardware resources, more cpu power and more ram
[20:42] <Guest64022> and more hard disk space, obviously
[20:42] <odroid> OK WHAT IS THIS
[20:43] <nacc> Guest64022: again 'usually' is false.
[20:43] <nacc> Guest64022: and doesn't seem relevant to your original question about vlc
[20:44] <sruli> leftyfb: netplan is seriously not ready for lts release, there is no way to reconnect nic once system is booted, just ested with 4 nics in 802.3ad mode, disconnected 1 by 1 putting the removed 1 back as soon as i removed it, once i remove the 4th one (other 3 are connected) nada you can do without reboot, networkctl status shows routable, however there is no connection
[20:44] <skinux> I'm having trouble with xane scanner. It doesn't see any scanners at all, but I have an AIO configured with my system
[20:44] <gigirock> skinux, connect as usb or ethernet ?
[20:46] <leftyfb> sruli: running dhclient didn't help?
[20:47] <IntelCore> leftyfb: okay, I will paste journalctl -xb. brb
[20:47] <sruli> leftyfb: dhclient get ip for first nic, ignores netplan and nothing resolves
[20:48] <leftyfb> IntelCore: I didn't ask for anything from you
[20:48] <sruli> leftyfb: "dhclient bond0" just tries but gets nothing
[20:48] <leftyfb> sruli: tried #ubuntu-server?
[20:48] <sruli> leftyfb: testing now in round-robin to make sure its not a issue with 802.3ad on the switch
[20:49] <sruli> leftyfb: #ubuntu-server usually no response... might try tomorrow
[20:49] <leftyfb> sruli: I would eliminate the switch and any link agg stuff you've got going on to simplify things
[20:52] <sruli> leftyfb: problem is 802.3ad, dont know if its switch or server side, in round-robin was able to remove all 4 nics and got reconnected
[20:52] <sruli> leftyfb: question is how do i figure out if the issue with 802.3ad is switch or server side
[20:53] <leftyfb> sruli: eliminate it
[20:54] <sruli> leftyfb: not sure what you mean, i have now tested and confirmed the issue is indeed 802.3ad how can i find which side the issue is on?
[20:55] <leftyfb> don't know
[20:55] <sruli> leftyfb: accepted

[21:06] <j03> (I'm on an XPS 9560 w/ both intel and nvidia 1050 graphics if that makes any difference).
[21:07] <gigirock> j03, unistall any nvidia* and reboot you lost wayland in the middle
[21:08] <j03> gigirock: will try now. I guess I then re-install my nvidia drivers?

[21:22] <arooni> question: on ubuntu 18.04 ; i have these two font config files on my machine.  one is for powerline symbols in gnome-terminal the second is for emojis (i know ridiculous) to work well on 18.04.  so far emojis show up everywhere except for the terminal.  anyway to get my terminal showing emojis? :P  https://gist.github.com/067a5333b3d7d6a7a39e0afa61ea30db and
[21:22] <arooni> https://gist.github.com/ad278f9ff8c0d6def28c5a5cadaebc93
[21:25] <oerheks> terminal showing emoji  .. no arooni, not possible
[21:26] <arooni> thats sad;  i could think of a lot of fun use cases
[21:26] <arooni> oerheks: any reason why it cant be supporteD?  its that libcairo thing isnt it
[21:27] <oerheks> yes, but it is really unstable, so as you are asking a question and you know the answer already, go have fun with it.
[21:28] <McSquirrel> hello, I'm looking for assistance in regards to secure boot, I don't see a vmlinuz*-generic.efi.signed, was this removed with 18.04?
[21:29] <McSquirrel> I appended data to the end of the vmlinuz*-generic and it still booted 😪
[21:31] <IntelCore> uefi?
[21:31] <McSquirrel> yep with secure boot enabled
[21:31] <IntelCore> i got that too
[21:32] <McSquirrel> so what's the solution, I think canonical signed the linux kernel
[21:32] <IntelCore> back in 12.04, it showed all different boot kernels, now I get two recent generic ones in 16.04
[21:32] <McSquirrel> but they're not signed anymore?
[21:32] <IntelCore> oh, and upstart is on my grub menu now
[21:33] <IntelCore> Caniocal has a sig on your drive
[21:33] <McSquirrel> where?
[21:33] <IntelCore> lol. yeah. and UUID's
[21:34] <McSquirrel> and also shouldnt it fail if you append gibberish to the end of the vmlinuz?
[21:35] <IntelCore> idk , mcsquirrel.. image/ iso's can boot on if u click them
[21:36] <IntelCore> like put 18.040n a hard drive and click it
[21:37] <IntelCore> eh, just wish someone knew what a code 32 was on about
[21:37] <IntelCore> bbiab. break
[21:38] <McSquirrel> hmmm, maybe it's because im appending, ill try modifying some random byte inside vmlinux
[21:38] <McSquirrel> it better fail or secure boot is broke
[22:00] <bartmancometh> Hi, anyone have expereince with a Drobo mysteriously unmounting and then remounting on a different device?
[22:01] <bartmancometh> like I manually mount it on /dev/sdc1 as /home/bart/Drobo  then come back and its mounted as sdd2 on /home/bart/Drobo1 ???
[22:01] <bartmancometh> can't make sense of it
[22:02] <KazPinkerton> Has anyone experienced an issue where, when opening the official version of Chrome, it breifly redraws a version of the desktop that's like, shifted by 20-ish pixels?
[22:03] <KazPinkerton> in the area that the Chrome window is going to fill
[22:03] <KazPinkerton> I know that's sort of a trash explanation but I don't know how else to put it
[22:03] <KazPinkerton> Chrome is the only thing that does it, afaik
[22:04] <KazPinkerton> happens in both MATE and KDE
[22:04] <diverdude> How can i see why all space is used on my system disk?
[22:05] <nacc> diverdude: ncdu ?
[22:05] <IntelCore> disks is a program to graphic see your disk. and gparted is a partitioner
[22:05] <bartmancometh> diverdude: of boaba (something like that, if you want a gui)
[22:06] <bartmancometh> oops, baobab
[22:07] <diverdude> i want terminal
[22:07] <nacc> diverdude: then du or ncdu
[22:07] <diverdude> and du is for some reason not working
[22:07] <nacc> diverdude: define 'not working'
[22:08] <diverdude> nacc: In trying to figure our why i have full system disk I am running this command sudo du -d 1 -h  and getting this output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zfzbsTdxyR/. HD is 8G, but the output of that command is nowhere near 8G. Where is all the space then being used?
[22:09] <nacc> diverdude: please paste `df -h` output?
[22:09] <diverdude> nacc: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qRmrX6zW26/
[22:09] <nacc> diverdude: also that adds about to about 7825MB
[22:10] <nacc> diverdude: since your HD is not actually 8G (it's 7.7G)
[22:10] <nacc> diverdude: that's all your disk.
[22:10] <nacc> diverdude: maybe you did your math incorrectly?
[22:12] <SporkWitch> looks normal to me...
[22:12] <diverdude> nacc: uhh but the output of du is nowhere near 7.7
[22:12] <nacc> diverdude: yeah it is
[22:12] <nacc> diverdude: did you remember to convert G to M?
[22:12] <nacc> (or v.v)
[22:13] <nacc> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VpM2jgfz6G/
[22:13] <diverdude> hmm let me check again
[22:13] <nacc> which is 7.64GB
[22:14] <IntelCore> https://pastebin.com/KZ1DdC4X unmounted, failed to mount at boot..need help.
[22:15] <diverdude> nacc: ok you are right
[22:15] <diverdude> sorry
[22:16] <bartmancometh> No Drobo ideas?
[22:16] <bartmancometh> How about any device mounting, unmounting, remounting on a diff dev?
[22:23] <bartmancometh> ok. where can l look, like a log or something, to try to track down the problem?
[22:24] <Johnjay> I was trying to follow these instructions about compiling the 8812au kernel module for a usb wireless network adapter
[22:25] <Johnjay> but when i reached the step about the git driver supporting my 0bda:0811 I got stuck
[22:25] <Johnjay> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2339960&p=13556868#post13556868
[22:25] <Johnjay> ... because apparently the git driver doesn't support 0811 anymore? i'm confused.
[22:26] <Johnjay> using ubuntu 16.04
[22:27] <sarp> Hi, I am having a black screen issue, and I have also posted on askubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/1044575/screen-goes-black-randomly-after-login
[22:27] <sarp> I would be grateful if anyone could point me in a direction to solve this
[22:29] <pressure679> Have anyone succeded in finding a program which can get a certain number of characters from an offset from a file? I found the sed and awk (answers from askubuntu) are quite slow on a HDD. - In any case: I made a source file using Go version 1.10.1, amd64, compiled with Ubuntu 18.04 was faster, > 1 sec on a file several GB's large. Here is the link: https://code.launchpad.net/~pressure679/+junk/ofo ,
[22:29] <pressure679> I am unsure how to notify Canonical or any Linux/GNU distributor, so I write here.
[22:32] <IntelCore> https://pastebin.com/KZ1DdC4X unmounted, failed to mount at boot..need help.
[22:33] <nacc> pressure679: that's nice. maybe just put it on github?
[22:33] <nacc> pressure679: are you asking for it be included in ubuntu or something? this is 100% the wrong way to do that :)
[22:34] <nacc> pressure679: you would of course use an actual programming language to do what you suggest, I imagine C would be about as fast. It's not general purpose enough to really be that relevant, afaict.
[22:36] <nacc> pressure679: you also didn't say "I want to get a certain number of characters from an offset from a file *as quickly as possible*". Based upon your first sentence, any of those tools you found that already exist do what you want. If you care about speed, writing your own for your specific use case may be sufficient. But again, not an Ubuntu support topic.
[22:39] <pressure679> nacc: sorry, I just wanted to contribute, anyhow: two pointed out tail and head (I was not aware they supported byte count) could do this.
[22:39] <oerheks> partition.device appeared twice with different sysfs paths .. sounds like a raid with failing block devices or something?
[22:55] <seru> Hi all, I don't know why but today I tried to update my packages so normally it prompts me for the root pass. Doesn't work, strange. So I try a restart and then I realised my pass for my normal user account also does not work! What the heck? I don't know why both passwords have been changed. I'm the sole user of this machine. Can anyone help?
[22:56] <seru> I forgot to add that I'm using Kubuntu 17.10 but I doubt the version of my hardware and software would help diagnose the problem. I just need to know what to do next.
[22:57] <TimeDoctor> seru: you may need to boot into single user mode and reset your passwords, this might help (ignore why the person asking needs single-user mode): https://askubuntu.com/questions/132965/how-do-i-boot-into-single-user-mode-from-grub
[22:58] <seru> @TimeDoctor Thank you for your help. I still don't understand why the pass randomly changed. it seems very fishy
[22:59] <TimeDoctor> seru: are you sure the keyboard isn't failing?
[22:59] <TimeDoctor> could be why the keys you're inputting aren't working
[23:00] <seru> @TimeDoctor nope, I even did a copy paste
[23:01] <seru> @TimeDoctor wish me luck. I'm going to try the steps outlined in the link now
[23:03] <seru> @TimeDoctor I'm back but... I couldn't get into grub (my setup is encrypted). Any ideas?
[23:03] <seru> The link suggests that I hold left shift but it did nothing
[23:07] <IntelCore> my fstab says windows is a swap drive and maybe that's why it won't mount until nautilus see it as part of the computer file system? Does 18.04 drop having ubuntu swap file?
[23:07] <oerheks> left shift, escape, depends on the machine
[23:07] <SporkWitch> IntelCore: if you're mounting an NTFS partition as swap, you're about to have some real issues
[23:07] <oerheks> IntelCore, 18.04 fresh install uses swap file
[23:07] <oerheks> !releasenotes
[23:08] <seru> @oerheks thanks... second time lucky
[23:08] <IntelCore> https://pastebin.com/KZ1DdC4X unmounted, failed to mount at boot..need help.
[23:09] <oerheks> look at your error, something tries to mount twice
[23:09] <IntelCore> ye
[23:09] <oerheks> and please, explain more about your situation, that might help
[23:10] <IntelCore> boots up oerheks.. quiet splash, then after clamav, the Failed message.. and then it boots
[23:10] <IntelCore> windows isnt mounted
[23:11] <IntelCore> then I go nautilus and see windows, click it and it mounts and opens
[23:13] <seru> @TimeDoctor @oerheks I completely failed, I think I'll just reinstall the whole OS. I know I'm going to spend a week on this as i'm not very technical. thanks for your help though
[23:14] <IntelCore> I see sda3 and sda6 are shown in my paste as same
[23:16] <IntelCore> and it says, now you can unplug windows
[23:17] <oerheks> pastebin your fstab and fdisk-l output, to see what is going on?
[23:23] <Johnjay> can someone confirm to me if the 8812au driver supports the hardware id 0bda:0811?
[23:23] <Johnjay> it seems it does not from my modinfo command
[23:24] <arooni> how do i upgrade my gnome shell extensions?  i go ta notifcation but its not clear (18.04)
[23:25] <seru> Where do I file more formal support requests?
[23:28] <IntelCore> seru -- ubuntu have ask!  on they webpage
[23:29] <IntelCore> seru -- community - also good place.
[23:29] <IntelCore> seru -- ubuntu have help , and this chatroom, and well.. there are bugs listed places
[23:31] <Johnjay> should I post on askubuntu with my problem Intelcore?
[23:32] <IntelCore>  my lsblk -a says no mount. But nautilus mounts it, and that's fine. But, it was not like this before. And it was Auto-mount, and did not fail.
[23:33] <Johnjay> or i mean anyone who knows more
[23:33] <IntelCore> yes. Johnjay. ask!  is kool.
[23:33] <Johnjay> the post i originally was going off of is from ubuntuforums.org
[23:34] <Johnjay> sorry i don't know what you mean
[23:34] <Johnjay> i went to ubuntu.com and i don't see Ask! anywhere
[23:34] <IntelCore> Johnjay - you know about where you go software update. that apt setting panel have a device driver lookup
[23:35] <Johnjay> i'm not sure. i clicked on settings and then Programs or something
[23:35] <Johnjay> is that the window you mean?
[23:35] <Johnjay> it was ubuntu 16.0
[23:35] <Johnjay> 4
[23:36] <IntelCore> open 'About" this computer. at top is a search feature, and type in 'drivers' and it opens and tabs show 'additional drivers'
[23:37] <Johnjay> Additional drivers, ok i'll go check
[23:37] <Johnjay> the driver i know already it's 8812au
[23:37] <Johnjay> the problem is i don't think it supports my device, even though i found a forum post from 2 years ago that says it does
[23:37] <IntelCore> Some drivers may be from the host, rather than ubuntu
[23:37] <Johnjay> do drivers drop support sometimes for device?
[23:37] <Johnjay> i bought the adapter new yesterday
[23:37] <IntelCore> oh ye
[23:38] <Johnjay> ok lol i was very confused
[23:38] <Johnjay> the post talked about see the git repo driver supports your device
[23:38] <IntelCore> mm.. like I had a graphics card that needed a certain driver for compiz.
[23:38] <Johnjay> and when i ran the same command it wasn't listed as a supported device
[23:38] <IntelCore> drivers, I let apt-get tell me if I need
[23:39] <Johnjay> i did run apt-update
[23:39] <Johnjay> but er update. but idk if that would recognize a driver
[23:39] <Johnjay> the device shows up on lsusb so i know it can see it
[23:40] <IntelCore> those are your inputs
[23:41] <IntelCore> I only have 4 usb on my laptop
[23:41] <IntelCore> One a hub for 2.0, one for 3.0
[23:42] <Johnjay> yeah
[23:42] <Johnjay> i had to do lsusb -vv i think to get the full output
[23:43] <Johnjay> otherwise it just shows the hubs
[23:43] <IntelCore> security, recommended, and backports.. updates.. and you got three places.. also there is a Synaptic Package Manager to check into multiverse, universe.. and tha rest
[23:44] <IntelCore> synaptic is different than apt
[23:44] <Johnjay> right
[23:45] <dabbler> is it unusual for debian to still be on major version 2 of a package that released a stable major version 3 almost 6 years ago?
[23:45] <IntelCore> storm, library closing in 10mins. Thaks for help from leftyfb, oerheks and nacc..
[23:45] <IntelCore> ciao
[23:47] <kna158> hello. qq: I need to change the IP&gateway of just one of two interfaces. the other interface is critical and must stay up. however, seems without restarting network services, routing fails. is there a way around this?
[23:47] <hidef> Hi anybody experience issues on 18.04 with Vbox ?
[23:50] <hidef> after pressing start button this message comes up The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
[23:50] <hidef> '/sbin/vboxconfig'
[23:52] <vfw> hidef: ls -l /dev/vboxdrv
[23:53] <hidef> command ?
[23:54] <hidef> vfw:cannot access no such file ..
[23:56] <oerheks> how did you install Vbox?
[23:56] <oerheks> our repo version loads dkms too..
[23:57] <oerheks> sudo modprobe vboxdrv
[23:57] <oerheks> or sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) virtualbox-dkms dkms
[23:58] <neal__> are apps in the ubuntu software application need to be open source?
[23:58] <hidef> I installed from virtualbox.org today yesterday I tried the true terminal
[23:58] <nacc> neal__: no, i don't think so
