[01:07] <eraserpencil1> i'm following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend and the example was "hash matches drivers/base/power/resume.c:46" I followed the steps and I always got somewhere along the lines of " memory memory174: hash matches". Are they the same thing? I'm on 16.04.6
[01:07] <hggdh> Bashing-om: I wish we had something like that for Ubuntu as well
[01:07] <en1gma> hello all
[01:15] <Bashing-om> hggdh: :) .. Wiser heads than I say that it applies equally to ubuntu :P
[01:29] <psichas> hi all maybe do you know where i could download paste code engine like pastebin i want have my own website :)
[01:34] <nisstyre> psichas: https://github.com/seejohnrun/haste-server
[01:35] <psichas> nisstyre, is it support api? :)
[01:36] <nisstyre> psichas: I don't know, I've never used it
[01:36] <nisstyre> I just googled "open source pastebin"
[01:36] <nisstyre> and that one looked like the easiest to install and set up
[01:36] <psichas> nice google
[01:36] <nisstyre> well actually I used duckduckgo
[01:36] <nisstyre> but same deal
[01:37] <hggdh> Bashing-om: on yes, it does.
[02:04] <Jacob97> Hello
[02:05] <Jacob97> Can anyone help with sound issues?
[02:06] <Jacob97> is this the right irc channel to ask questions?
[02:07] <jamie_1> hey, im currently having some issues with conky randomly freezing while running, it will startup with a lag sometimes then when it figures itself out it will go for a bit then start lagging. my .conkyrc is https://pastebin.com/88mdKj30 and my lua is https://pastebin.com/RzhWvb3r
[02:07] <guiverc> Jacob97, if it's a Ubuntu Support question, yes it's the correct channel. Ask your question (in a single line if possible, pastebinit for output if needed) and be patient, people who can answer will when they can
[02:08] <Jacob97> thank you!
[02:09] <nisstyre> jamie_1: anything in journalctl? (assuming conky logs to the journal, I've never used it)
[02:10] <jamie_1> nisstyre: one sec let me check
[02:13] <Jacob97> I have pavucontrol
[02:15] <pragmaticenigma> jamie_1: You might also want to ask for help in #conky as they might be better suited for helping on troubleshooting conky specific modules
[02:20] <guiverc> Jacob97, I don't see an actual question yet from you (only mention of a sound issue, and question about asking a question)
[02:35] <jamie_1> so it turned out it was actgyu
[02:35] <Jacob97> oh sorry, I need help with my sound, if I open open up pavucontrol, and play a sound file I can see the audio output with the volume mixer but not with the speaker
[02:36] <guiverc> Jacob97, if you go to the last tab (Configuration), what do you see as your 'profile'?
[02:37] <jamie_1> actually an ubuntu issue ish..... im using portmon to do the checks for connections to the machine both in and out so whats happening is the portmon is making systemd calls on a systemctl based system... so whats happening is dns violation complaints
[02:37] <jamie_1> systemd-resolved[543]: Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001, retrying transaction with reduced feature level UDP.
[02:37] <guiverc> Jacob97, (i was meaning inside `pavucontrol`)
[02:37] <Jacob97> Analog stero output
[02:38] <guiverc> Jacob97, okay, try changing profile to off, then put it back to stereo..
[02:42] <jamie_1> any idea on how to solve the issues withsystemd-resolved[543]: Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001, retrying transaction with reduced feature level UDP.
[02:54] <nisstyre> jamie_1: does nethogs do the same thing roughly that portmon does?
[02:55] <nisstyre> hmm probably not, nevermind

[03:09] <Sirisian> Anyone ever have an issue trying to change resolutions on Ubuntu? Here's my xrandr output, xorg.cong, and xorg logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SnMZzfGKn6/ It's like when Ubuntu is plugged into my TV it's locked to 3840x2160 and won't let me set it to anything else.
[03:11] <Sirisian> xorg.conf*
[03:14] <Sirisian> Is there like an HDMI feature in Ubuntu that detects the monitor resolution and then ignores xorg configuration? That's kind of what it seems like. Every tutorial using xrandr to change the resolution seems to do nothing. I can add more resolutions even to the screen, but I can't switch to them. It doesn't do anything when I run the -s command. I think that's because the minimum is set to 3840x2160?
[03:17] <jamie_1> okay so i found my issues is actually portmin using the old network manager and the two of them conflicting, is there a way to make portmon use networkmanager?
[03:18] <jamie_1> or is there a new package in 18.10 that i can use instead of portmon
[03:25] <ExoUNX> evening
[03:25] <jcotton> is there any way to drop stdin onto my clipboard?
[03:25] <ExoUNX> does Ubuntu 18.10 support RAM compression out of the box?
[03:25] <jcotton> on windows i use clip.exe (bundled with the OS)
[03:25] <nisstyre> jcotton: xclip
[03:25] <nisstyre> echo "woohoo" | xclip
[03:26] <ExoUNX> yah, xclip
[03:26] <nisstyre> you probably have to do apt-get install xclip
[03:26] <jcotton> hm, doesn't seem to be working, just installed it and tried `echo "a" | xclip`
[03:26] <ExoUNX> I just started having horrible images in my head
[03:27] <ExoUNX> some idiot out there probably uses xclip as a caching tool for their application
[03:27] <nisstyre> jcotton: clipboard stuff works funny
[03:27] <ExoUNX> just because it was simple and worked
[03:27] <nisstyre> I forget exactly but I think there might be multiple clipboards
[03:27] <jcotton> yeah i see -selection
[03:27] <jcotton> bleh
[03:28] <nisstyre> yeah there are two clipboards :)
[03:28] <jcotton> i needed `-selection clipboard`
[03:29] <nisstyre> I've had a similar issue with vim clipboard before
[03:29] <jcotton> doesn't vim also have it's own clipboard
[03:29] <jcotton> ?
[03:29] <nisstyre> yes
[03:29] <nisstyre> it has its own registers
[03:29] <nisstyre> when you yank stuff it goes into the vim clipboard
[03:30] <nisstyre> but you can also use the system one, e.g. "+p
[03:30]  * jcotton is an intermediate-ish vim user
[03:30] <jcotton> i keep meaning to install vim plugins in my other editors
[03:32] <nisstyre> jcotton: apparently you need to install vim-gnome to make the " register work properly
[03:32] <nisstyre> if you're using the default ubuntu (gnome)
[03:33] <jcotton> noted
[03:33] <jcotton> is there an equivalent pkg for neovim?
[03:33] <nisstyre> I don't know if neovim works any differently
[03:33] <nisstyre> it might just work by default
[03:34] <nisstyre> at least on my machine it seems to work (nvim with vim-gnome installed)
[03:35] <nisstyre> jcotton: also the best advice for vim is just to pay attention to what you're doing, and if you're constantly doing something in a slow way, or notice a room for improvement, then look up how to do it better
[03:35] <nisstyre> instead of trying to learn every feature in vim
[03:35] <jcotton> yeah
[03:35] <jcotton> i went through vimtutor but beyond that i just learned as needed
[03:36] <nisstyre> macros are really useful to know
[03:37] <nisstyre> e.g. qw, do a bunch of commands, q, then @w
[03:37] <nisstyre> or 20@w, etc

[03:58] <hillyu> yeah, changes are not always good, just got use to systemd-networkd and now this. Fortuately it works quite well without putting too much effort in learning.
[03:58] <amazoniantoad> hillyu, let's hope. I'm a bit thick
[04:01] <gambl0r3> why is swap being used when the ram isnt even full?

[05:22] <lotuspsychje> Flaco: whats the problem?
[05:24] <btartsa> lotuspsychje, the problem is updating networkmanager caused the applet be only stopped/ started by root.
[05:27] <btartsa> lotuspsychje, end goal is to be able to toggle networking on / off easily again from the applet non root

[05:38] <nisstyre> I'm trying to create a systemd user unit file that starts synergy. https://gist.github.com/weskerfoot/800a1655effdee4409ec6415a05555c5 It's not working for some reason unless I restart it after X is up and running. Any idea how to fix that?
[05:38] <nisstyre> I'm assuming my "After=" line is wrong
[05:41] <nisstyre> (I did systemctl --user enable synergy obviously)
[05:41] <nisstyre> it starts up fine actually, just doesn't work until I restart it
[05:49] <OerHeks> nisstyre, take a look at this service file? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/synergy#Clients_configuration
[05:49] <nisstyre> OerHeks: oh I didn't know about the "--no-daemon" flag
[05:49] <nisstyre> that might help
[05:49] <nisstyre> thanks

[07:35] <badSophia> ubuntu don’t reconize exfat?
[07:35] <badSophia> format?
[07:37] <badSophia> no one know it?
[07:37] <EriC^^> badSophia: try installing exfat-fuse exfat-utils
[07:39] <danlii> I am running 18.04 LTS, which has been upgraded to 18.04.2, and no more updates are available, but I still have kernel 4.15.0-46. I was under the impression that I would automatically get kernel 4.18 with 18.04.02 LTS. apt policy linux-image-generic shows only 4.15 version. Is there something wrong?
[07:40] <EriC^^> danlii: what does "uname -r" return?
[07:40] <guiverc> danlii, you need to enable HWE (hardware enablement kernel), it's only default for new installs of 18.04.2
[07:40] <danlii> EriC^^: 4.15.0-46-generic
[07:40] <guiverc> danlii, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[07:41] <danlii> guiverc: Ahh, that explains it. Thanks a lot!
[07:45] <badSophia> ah how can i install exfat-fuse?
[07:51] <badSophia> how can i change my account?
[07:52] <badSophia> on ubuntu
[07:55] <guiverc> badSophia, change account?  you'll have to provide more details for that to make sense?  (settings comes to mind as first place to go)
[07:56] <badSophia> badSophia@mycom on ubuntu, i want to change badSophia
[07:56] <badSophia> to another guiverc
[07:57] <guiverc> badSophia, badSophia would be your username; the value you want to change is in $PS1 I suspect - is this what you mean?  ie. you want to change your prompt?
[07:57] <guiverc> badSophia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt
[07:58] <badSophia> yeah i want to change it on bash
[07:59] <guiverc> badSophia, have a look at what I gave (it's not great, I hoped it'd have more), but also `info bash` & searching for PS1 provides more  (/PS1  if you don't use vi)
[08:00] <badSophia> can i change it at /etc/passwd manually?
[08:01] <guiverc> badSophia, you've lost me there, I can't see a connection between /etc/passwd & $PS1
[08:02] <badSophia> guiverc: ?
[08:02] <guiverc> badSophia, you can change your shell (zsh, ksh, csh etc) via that file, which will change the prompt, but I miss your connection (unless that's it)
[08:02] <farsight> ?
[08:04] <badSophia> guiverc: i changed my username editing /etc/passwd
[08:04] <badSophia> :(
[08:05] <badSophia> there is problem? guiverc ?
[08:08] <badSophia> can i change username editing /etc/passwd?
[08:09] <farsight> yes u can
[08:10] <guiverc> yes you can change username (that way), but its too long ago for me to recall details accurately to advise sorry badSophia
[08:11] <geirha> badSophia: you'll lose all your group memberships, because memberships are added by username in /etc/group, not uid
[08:11] <geirha> There could be other things that has your old username stored that will break too
[08:15] <elias_a> I started also thinking what all can break if one does that.
[08:20] <ducasse> won't you also need to edit /etc/shadow?
[08:21] <guiverc> I would suggest doing a grep of files looking for your old username (ie. things you need to consider, and most likely change)
[08:21] <guiverc> (i was thinking of files in /etc/, re: grep)

[09:36] <nakamaki> cappe: it will be updated but the old kernel will still be booted
[09:37] <nakamaki> if you dont remove a kernel it will be a fallback option usually
[09:53] <hTantia> Hi... I've just switched to Linux... Using Ubuntu 18.04... When installing something via Terminal, if it displays a msg : Press [Enter] to continue, Ctrl+C to cancel...
[09:53] <hTantia> How to press [Enter]
[09:54] <mcrabble> What happens if you hit your enter key?
[09:54] <hTantia> Some specific key-combination alongside normal Enter-Key.../!!
[09:55] <hTantia> Nothing... It just went to next line... No further processing
[09:55] <mcrabble> Well it recognized the input, that's why it went to the next 'ine
[09:55] <mcrabble> Line*
[09:56] <hTantia> If it provides options which represent buttons (as in GUI), are you sure that we don't have to press TAB, or anything else to switch between them?
[09:56] <mcrabble> Either the command is wrong, or the operation is performed in the background quietly and won't update the console until it's finished or it runs into an error
[09:57] <hTantia> I had read that somewhere, but have apparently forgotten...
[09:57] <hTantia> :/
[09:57] <mcrabble> As an example, if you use dd, once the operation begins, a blank cursor blinks at you until the file copy is complete
[09:58] <hTantia> If I enter the following:
[09:58] <hTantia> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:varlesh-l/papirus-pack
[09:59] <hTantia> It will ask for password, then go blank because of the processing
[09:59] <hTantia> Not an issue there
[10:00] <hTantia> But it then displays a msg : Press [Enter] to continue and Ctrl+C to cancel
[10:00] <mcrabble> Does it just hang indefinitely after you press enter?
[10:00] <hTantia> YES
[10:01] <mcrabble> How long have you waited?
[10:01] <hTantia> Till it displayed a msg meaning that it has gone timed out bcz of non-response
[10:02] <mcrabble> Sounds like the ppa isn't responsive
[10:02] <hTantia> Well.... Am new here... Will hopefully get the hang of it with time.... (I don't know what PPA is)
[10:03] <mcrabble> I was going to say anyway, but definitely go to where the ppa is hosted and verify that the location and arguments are correct, they may have specific instructions that must be followed to add the ppa
[10:05] <mcrabble> What it should be doing after you hit enter is adding the proper keys for the ppa, and that can take a second or two, but it updates the terminal definitely
[10:06] <hTantia> Okay... I'll try again... Thanks, mate...          :)
[10:06] <guiverc> possibly related hTantia - https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/11/papirus-icon-theme-drops-ppa  (did you check bionic was supported?)
[10:06] <mcrabble> Only other thing I can recommend is to check the currently added repos and check if you've already successfully added the ppa.  If it's already added, you should be able to do apt update && apt upgrade
[10:07] <hTantia> Okay... I got it now... Restarting the process... Thanks...
[10:07] <hTantia> @guiverc Nope, I didn't check that
[10:09] <hTantia> Well... Thanks, guys... Positive ;)
[10:24] <strk> any idea which package contains gssapi/gssapi.h ?

[10:37] <mcrabble> Could anyone help me troubleshoot bluetooth connectivity in 18.10 on xfce?
[10:37] <marcoagpinto> ahhhh... next month will come 19.04
[10:37] <marcoagpinto> :)
[10:37] <marcoagpinto> on month 4 and on month 10
[10:37] <marcoagpinto> :)
[10:38] <mcrabble> I mean, I just had a mouse and keyboard paired a day ago, and then I reinstalled xubuntu and it can't detect the devices, but ok...
[10:50] <toolz> any cacti user around?
[10:53] <lightProbe> hello!
[10:54] <lightProbe> is even here?
[10:54] <lightProbe> *anyone
[10:55] <lightProbe> i have installed KDE Neon Developer Edition alongside Ubuntu but it doesnt show up?
[10:55] <yvyz> Hello
[10:56] <lightProbe> hey!
[10:56] <yvyz> lightProbe: KDE is not showing up in the login->Session Selection?
[10:57] <lightProbe> grub shows only Ubuntu
[10:59] <lightProbe> @yvyz on boot the grub only shows Ubuntu option
[11:00] <ThinkT510> lightProbe: grub is for booting operating systems, not selecting a window manager
[11:00] <Fuchs> yes, and they are talking about an OS
[11:00] <Fuchs> if they installed Neon Dev edition. But of course it depends how they did install it
[11:00] <yvyz> Yea KDE neon is a full fledged distro
[11:00] <yvyz> ^
[11:00] <JamesSquire> hey ya :)
[11:02] <lightProbe> I went through the setup via the live iso, it also turns out to be installed but can't really find out how to boot it!
[11:02] <mcrabble> Does kde neon use grub, or systemd boot?
[11:02] <yvyz> lightProbe: if you installed it onto its own partitions, you will to update the grub entry for KDE
[11:03] <yvyz> Or in short, you need to ADD the grub entry for KDE
[11:04] <lightProbe> i executed the update command on ubuntu and it shows up that it detected the "KDE Developer Edition" OS but it doesnt show up on the grub menu
[11:06] <yvyz> Hmm
[11:06] <yvyz> lightProbe: awk -F\' '/menuentry / {print $2}' /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:07] <lightProbe> my current grub file: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fGrbxcdt7j/
[11:08] <yvyz> Umm. That is the sparsest grub.cfg file ive ever seen.
[11:08] <yvyz> lol
[11:08] <lightProbe> also when i run: +"update-grub" it shows up that it detected ="Found KDE neon Developer Edition (18.04) on /dev/sda3"
[11:08] <yvyz> Yes you mentioned that
[11:08] <yvyz> lightProbe: awk -F\' '/menuentry / {print $2}' /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:09] <lightProbe> it's because this is my new hardrive XD
[11:09] <lightProbe> i newly installed ubuntu
[11:09] <cappe> what should I do with this?? /etc/grub.d/bin/grubcfg_proxy: not found
[11:09] <cappe> when I do update-grub
[11:09] <yvyz> And you ran update-grub from your ubuntu install?
[11:10] <cappe> no from the running system
[11:10] <hTantia> Hi... I tried the code in Terminal... It gave the following response.....
[11:10] <hTantia> This PPA contains different icons from different creators but available by http://www.NoobsLab.com

[11:10] <yvyz> lightProbe: And you ran update-grub from your ubuntu install?
[11:10] <hTantia> And... When I pressed ENTER key and waited......
[11:10] <lightProbe> should i add this in my grub config file? "awk -F\' '/menuentry / {print $2}' /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999"
[11:11] <lightProbe> @yvyz yes, wait is that not how it's done?
[11:11] <hTantia> Following error msg occured :_                   Error: retrieving gpg key timed out.
[11:11] <mcrabble> That's a ppa problem
[11:12] <cappe> do I need to install 10_linux_proxy? :S
[11:12] <hTantia> How to 'press [Enter] while on terminal...?!!
[11:12] <mcrabble> ...You did it right.  The ppa is the proble.
[11:12] <hTantia> ** How to solve 'that' PPA Problem?
[11:12] <yvyz> lightProbe: that is how it is done
[11:12] <lightProbe> ok
[11:12] <mcrabble> You have to figure out what happened with the ppa
[11:12] <cappe> nobody has any clue about my issue? :(
[11:13] <yvyz> cappe: you need to check /etc/grub.d for *_proxy and remove them if you are not using them. It will break grub if you do not have the required packages. no sense in having them if you are not using
[11:13] <lightProbe> @yvyz should i add the line at the end of the config file?
[11:13] <hTantia> Any idea as to... How to troubleshoot that?
[11:13] <cappe> ok. thanks man. I need assistance with that, could I please have a bit of your time?
[11:13] <yvyz> lightProbe: you could, for now, add a manual grub entry into /etc/grub.d/00_custom
[11:14] <cappe> I did install grub-menu
[11:14] <cappe> which could be the problem source
[11:14] <yvyz> lightProbe: or more /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[11:15] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[11:15] <yvyz> cappe: run-> sudo apt-get -f install
[11:15] <yvyz> cappe: you might be missing dependencies
[11:15] <cappe> I mean the program that lets you design the GRUB menu within grub
[11:15] <cappe> within GUI
[11:15] <cappe> ok
[11:16] <BluesKaj>  /etc/default/grub
[11:16] <lightProbe> it says it couldn't fine the file "/etc/grub.d/00custom"
[11:16] <lightProbe> *find
[11:16] <yvyz> lightProbe: ll /etc/grub.d/
[11:16] <cappe> grub seems to be complicated, many issues with it, I think
[11:16] <yvyz> lightProbe: whichever one says ##_custom, add a grub entry to that
[11:16] <yvyz> cappe: grub is highly straightfoward.
[11:16] <cappe> dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):
[11:16] <yvyz> cappe: you are having issues after installing a grub customizer
[11:16] <mcrabble> hTantia: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/11/papirus-icon-theme-drops-ppa
[11:17] <cappe> yes
[11:17] <cappe> and holding the grub with apt-mark
[11:17] <lightProbe> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XBJpnCQgdH/ @yvyz
[11:17] <yvyz> lightProbe: add a grub entry for your KDE install to 40_custom.
[11:19] <cappe> this happens every time after generating grub-configuration file

[11:19] <yvyz> lightProbe: add the entry and run update-grub
[11:19] <cappe> I think that's very cryptical
[11:20] <yvyz> cappe: that is highly transparent. You installed a grub customizer, and then now you have issues looking for files that do not exist. Where do you think the issue began?
[11:20] <cappe> yeah, but what files should I delete man!?
[11:21] <yvyz> No need to yell. There only is a lack of files.
[11:21] <yvyz> You should consider apt-get remove <thepackageyouinstalltomanagegrub>
[11:21] <yvyz> or rather You should consider apt-get purge <thepackageyouinstalltomanagegrub>
[11:21] <yvyz> and see if it fixes the problem
[11:21] <cappe> yeah, what's the name u think? can't remeber
[11:21] <lightProbe> @yvyz thank you! followed the link will update you after reboot!
[11:21] <cappe> grub-customizer or something like that
[11:21] <yvyz> cappe: theres been issues with grub-customizer in the past
[11:22] <cappe> I found grub-customizer
[11:22] <yvyz> cappe: I cannot know the packages you have installed. Consider removing it.
[11:22] <cappe> I will remove it then?
[11:23] <cappe> grub-customizer - Grub Customizer - A graphical Grub2/BURG configuration application
[11:23] <cappe> dare I remove it?
[11:23] <crownedlake> hi this is my first time or irc
[11:24] <cappe> warm welcome crownedlake
[11:25] <lightProbe_> @yvyz hey! thank you really very much! im on the kde right now!

[11:25] <yvyz> lightProbe_: *finger guns*
[11:25] <yvyz> lightProbe_: mp
[11:25] <yvyz> lightProbe_: np
[11:25] <lightProbe_> have a good day!
[11:25] <yvyz> lightProbe_: now, see if you can update-grub from within kde
[11:25] <lightProbe_> ok
[11:26] <yvyz> cappe: sudo apt-get purge grub-customizer
[11:26] <cappe> cheers
[11:26] <lightProbe_> yes working like hot knife on  butter
[11:26] <lightProbe_> updates frine!
[11:26] <lightProbe_> *fine!
[11:26] <yvyz> lightProbe_: isnt linux fun?
[11:26] <lightProbe_> indeed
[11:27] <lightProbe_> alright going back to work! thank you very much again!
[11:27] <yvyz> np man. go forth and conquer
[11:27] <cappe> well put!

[11:29] <cappe> ok
[11:29] <cappe> I have tried I think every apt command to remove and reinstall grub and so on, still the proxy issue comes up

[11:55] <yvyz> I think its time we rebuild grub completely for you
[11:55] <cappe> ok
[11:55] <cappe> =/
[11:56] <EriC^^> cappe: i think first remove the package responsible for the faults, cause on future updates it might overwrite the files again
[11:56] <cappe> should I go for REFind instead?
[11:56] <EriC^^> you didnt give us the return of "dpkg -S /etc/grub.d/31_linux_proxy"
[11:56] <EriC^^> grub is more than fine, something with bugs was put over it so it's messed up now
[11:57] <cappe> dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/grub.d/31_linux_proxy
[11:59] <EriC^^> !find grubcfg_proxy
[11:59] <cappe> btw, will my system be updated if I cannot get grub to work (and boot with REFind instead)? I mean work such as in become updated/upgraded and so on?
[12:00] <EriC^^> cappe: yeah
[12:00] <cappe> ok
[12:00] <yvyz> Yes
[12:00] <cappe> then I guess I dont really need bother
[12:00] <EriC^^> cappe: what does 'sudo updatedb && locate grubcfg_proxy' give?
[12:00] <yvyz> Bootloaders only function is to supply your BIOS with the entry location of the operating system you want to BOOT into.
[12:00] <yvyz> It "loads the boot information"
[12:00] <cappe> ok
[12:00] <EriC^^> cappe: it'd be more tiresome to put refind than fix the grub issue, i'd guess
[12:00] <yvyz> Once a system is booted, it is functional.
[12:00] <EriC^^> plus are you using uefi anyways?
[12:01] <cappe> both
[12:01] <cappe> no return from the locate
[12:01] <yvyz> I think we should just have you sudo apt-get purge grub-customizer
[12:01] <EriC^^> cappe: type "ls /sys/firmware/efi"

[12:03] <yvyz> !ops
[12:04] <vegetita> i have a problem do you want help me ?
[12:04] <yvyz> vegetita: what is the issue
[12:06] <EriC^^> cappe: ok, how did the problem start? i wasnt here at the start
[12:06] <cappe> I think I put the grub into the hold
[12:06] <cappe> apt-mark hold
[12:06] <EriC^^> cappe: you had grub-customizer installed, and it was giving the same proxy error thing?
[12:06] <cappe> then I did use the grub-customizer
[12:07] <EriC^^> i see
[12:07] <cappe> not at that time, it worked just fine
[12:07] <EriC^^> aha
[12:07] <Penemanmmm456789> hola
[12:07] <yvyz> Penemanmmm456789: hello
[12:08] <EriC^^> cappe: ok so then what happened
[12:08] <cappe> and then I think I did a customizer telling GRUB to use the current whatever cant remember instead of using the new...
[12:08] <Penemanmmm456789> que tal
[12:08] <cappe> it was in a colored console mode
[12:08] <yvyz> Penemanmmm456789: this is an English support channel.
[12:08] <cappe> asking about the config file I think
[12:08] <EriC^^> cappe: ah, the current /etc/default/grub ? or so
[12:08] <cappe> yeah
[12:08] <Penemanmmm456789> ok , i can speak in english
[12:09] <EriC^^> cappe: ok, type 'cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999'
[12:09] <yvyz> Penemanmmm456789: What do you need help with?
[12:09] <Penemanmmm456789> sex problems
[12:09] <cappe> https://termbin.com/jlu0
[12:09] <yvyz> !ops Penemanmmm456789
[12:09] <yvyz> !ops
[12:09] <EriC^^> Penemanmmm456789: /join ##c it's a support group for that
[12:09] <vegetita> yvyz: sorry i tellyou my problem
[12:11] <EriC^^> cappe: odd, it looks perfectly fine
[12:11] <cappe> https://termbin.com/jlu0
[12:11] <cappe> ok
[12:11] <EriC^^> cappe: can you type 'sudo update-grub 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999' to see what it'l give
[12:12] <cappe> https://termbin.com/1j0n
[12:12] <EriC^^> did it give any errors?
[12:12] <Penemanmmm456789> yes this sit have a lot of fuching pronblems
[12:13] <vegetita> once in a while my computer restarts and I do not know why you can help me?
[12:13] <cappe> yeah, after the command executed it returned
[12:13] <cappe> error: out of memory.
[12:13] <cappe> error: syntax error.
[12:13] <cappe> error: Incorrect command.
[12:13] <cappe> error: syntax error.
[12:13] <cappe> syntax error 154
[12:16] <EriC^^> cappe: have you removed grub-customizer yet?
[12:16] <cappe> I guess it's fine having it like this, the issue is very complex and I have tried so many differnt workarounds
[12:16] <cappe> yes
[12:17] <EriC^^> cappe: i think we should try purging grub stuff and reinstalling
[12:17] <cappe> I did type lots of commands about blocking GRUB from installing, before it did crash like this
[12:17] <cappe> ok
[12:17] <EriC^^> why bock grub though
[12:17] <EriC^^> *block
[12:17] <Obscenity> maybe they are one of those LILO weirdos
[12:18] <cappe> since I rather used REFinder
[12:18] <EriC^^> cappe: grub is way easier and stuff, i think there's some bug in grub-customizer and it caused the issues
[12:18] <cappe> ok
[12:19] <cappe> it seems reasonable
[12:19] <EriC^^> cappe: type 'dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999'
[12:19] <cappe> https://termbin.com/htwy
[12:19] <EriC^^> we should be able to solve it, it's literally that update-grub uses /etc/default/grub + the stuff in /etc/grub.d/ to build /boot/grub/grub.cfg no funny business
[12:20] <EriC^^> aha, there are some grub-legacy grub-pc packages there too
[12:20] <cappe> I think I used the 40_custom file
[12:20] <cappe> to edit with the grub-customizer
[12:21] <EriC^^> cappe: aha, let's remove the grub-pc stuff then chmod the file
[12:21] <EriC^^> cappe: type 'sudo 'apt-get purge grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub-legacy-ec2'
[12:21] <cappe> damn! I found it, the issue has to do with my FreeBSD entry
[12:21] <cappe> which was faulty
[12:22] <EriC^^> alright, you got to remove the grub-pc grub-legacy stuff as well
[12:23] <cappe> the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom_proxy
[12:23] <cappe> has a entry for TrueOS whichi doesnt even exist anymore; I'm under the real FreeBSD now
[12:24] <cappe> also in the 40_custom (not the _proxy) .... there is a FreeBSD entry which doesnt work
[12:25] <cappe> should I delete the entry from the file?
[12:25] <cappe> I could inactivate it also
[12:26] <cappe> should I do this and not execute the purge?
[12:27] <EriC^^> cappe: no you have to purge those packages they conflict with eachother
[12:27] <EriC^^> you only want grub-efi* and grub2-common and grub-common
[12:28] <EriC^^> at this point i'd remove grub-common as well and grub2-common cause those provide the /etc/grub.d/* stuff
[12:28] <cappe> ah! I can remember having installed both GRUB and GRUB2
[12:28] <cappe> conflicting, yeah
[12:29] <EriC^^> yeah grub-legacy, also grub-pc and grub-efi conflict
[12:29] <cappe> ok
[12:29] <EriC^^> grub-pc being the bios legacy mode grub (vs uefi mode)
[12:29] <cappe> this time it worked
[12:29] <cappe> :)
[12:30] <cappe> now update-grub-legacyec2?
[12:30] <EriC^^> no grub-legacy should be removed
[12:30] <cappe> ok
[12:30] <EriC^^> !info grub-legacy-ec2
[12:31] <EriC^^> hmm
[12:31] <EriC^^> cappe: is this an ec2 thing?
[12:31] <cappe> should I run the grub-update OR the grub2 update or which one?
[12:31] <cappe> I only have that one left the ec2
[12:32] <cappe> an ec2 thing, I'm not sure
[12:33] <cappe> I use the legacy, that much I know
[12:33] <cappe> in bios
[12:33] <cappe> wait, I use both btw
[12:33] <cappe> the same time
[12:34] <cappe> I dualboot ubuntu, windows 10 and freebsd
[12:34] <EriC^^> cappe: you're only using uefi right now
[12:34] <cappe> ok
[12:34] <EriC^^> cappe: type "sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999'
[12:34] <EriC^^> i gtg for a while
[12:35] <cappe> https://termbin.com/t4zp
[12:35] <EriC^^> if the partition table is GPT then you're using uefi with windows for sure
[12:35] <cappe> ok! cya later
[12:35] <EriC^^> you're only using uefi cappe
[12:35] <cappe> ok
[12:35] <EriC^^> remove everything and purge it and only install grub-efi-amd64-signed and grub2-common and grub-common
[12:36] <cappe> ok with everything u mean what command? a grub* ?
[12:36] <EriC^^> as i said those last 2 give /etc/grub.d files so remove everything there then reinstall the packages
[12:36] <EriC^^> sudo apt-get purge/install
[12:36] <EriC^^> brb
[12:36] <cappe> k
[12:36] <Seek> What channel do i join on the irc for just talking to people?
[12:37] <cappe> try /list chat
[12:37] <cappe> the one who seeks shall find
[12:38] <Seek> Thank you :)
[12:38] <cappe> keep on rockin'
[12:40] <cappe> damn my CPU freezer in my mind wont keep up with the temprature, I guess I be back later u guys, cheers and thanks for everything u helped me with so far, I'm sure we'll work this out later

[12:53] <Seek> Oh alright sweet thanks man
[13:07] <StephenLynx> hey, I got my onboard audio and the graphics card audio. both display on pavucontrol but for some reason only the hdmi actually works.
[13:07] <StephenLynx> any idea?
[13:07] <StephenLynx> https://imgur.com/a/WyZqxxG
[13:12] <eraserpencil1> hi
[13:12] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038490/how-do-you-set-a-default-audio-output-device-in-ubuntu-18-04/1038492
[13:13] <eraserpencil1> I finally resolved over a 100warnings of my dsdt.dsl. Following the instructions from https://wiki.debian.org/OverridingDSDT, am i supposed to get the source code for linux-headers?
[13:14] <StephenLynx> BluesKaj, that is not the issue, I can select the onboard card
[13:14] <StephenLynx> but it won't work.
[13:14] <ph88> how can i see if 32-bit architecture has already been enabled?  i have only the command to set it, but i would like to know the current value    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
[13:15] <StephenLynx> it mutes the hdmi but it doesn't output sound.
[13:15] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, have you checked alsamixer volume ctrls ?
[13:16] <eraserpencil1> ph88: you can double tab on "dpkg --"
[13:16] <pragmaticenigma> eraserpencil1: Why are you monkeying around with DSDT? Do you fully understand the reprocussions of changing those items? What are you trying to do?
[13:16] <StephenLynx> yes I did, BluesKaj
[13:16] <BluesKaj> automute is disabled?
[13:17] <StephenLynx> where is that?
[13:17] <eraserpencil1> is "dpkg --print-architecture" and "dpkg --print-foreign-architecture"what you're looking for?
[13:17] <BluesKaj> in alsamixer, StephenLynx
[13:18] <ph88> eraserpencil1, i messed up now, would have to reinstall the system to see what the default value was
[13:18] <eraserpencil1> pragmaticenigma: suspend/resume dont work on my laptop and sometimes it boots without the  keyboard working. I got tired of waiting so im trying out things
[13:20] <StephenLynx> nothing there, BluesKaj. trying to run amixer -c 0 sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' Disabled gave me  Unable to find simple control 'Auto-Mute Mode',0
[13:20] <ph88> how can i do these two commands in one step so i don't need to create a file?   wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key     sudo apt-key add winehq.key
[13:20] <pragmaticenigma> eraserpencil1: DSDT changes can brick your machine. In the meantime, I believe you're well outside the knowledge base of this channel. You might want to start asking question in ##kernel or something similar
[13:20] <eraserpencil1> pragmaticenigma: probably a good idea. thanks
[13:23] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, alsamixer in the terminal
[13:23] <EriC^^> ph88: probably something like wget -O - ...
[13:24] <EriC^^> ph88: you could always use -O /tmp/file to create a temp file that'll get erased on reboot
[13:24] <ph88> EriC^^, i tried this    wget --quiet -O - ttps://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -
[13:24] <ph88> but then i get:  gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[13:24] <KermitHermit> Hi all. How to disable cgroupv1 controllers (blkio and memory) without reboot(Ubuntu 16.04)?
[13:24] <StephenLynx> BluesKaj, i know, there is no auto mute there.
[13:24] <ph88> EriC^^, sorry i just malformed the URL -____-
[13:24] <tomreyn> ph88: try adding the missing 'h'
[13:25] <tomreyn> oh you noticed
[13:27] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, so it's not showing the vol ctrls , just the spdif/hdmi
[13:27] <StephenLynx> for the hdmi, it isn't. for the onboard, it is.
[13:27] <StephenLynx> everything is maxed and nothing is on MM, for muted.
[13:28] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, is the hdmi onboard as well ?
[13:28] <StephenLynx> https://i.imgur.com/kevym6r.png
[13:28] <StephenLynx> no
[13:28] <StephenLynx> the hdmi is from a graphics card.
[13:28] <StephenLynx> it works by plugging the headphones on the monitor audio output.
[13:28] <BluesKaj> not a pci gpu tho?
[13:28] <StephenLynx> pci-e, yes.
[13:29] <BluesKaj> ahh
[13:29] <StephenLynx> yeaaaah
[13:29] <StephenLynx> same old song
[13:29] <StephenLynx> thing is, this card messed my system for good.
[13:29] <StephenLynx> even if I remove it, it doesn't work.
[13:29] <StephenLynx> for bonus points, my extra hdd mounting is messed up and can't auto mount anymore.
[13:29] <BluesKaj> what's the onbaord audio chip, intel?
[13:30] <StephenLynx> card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog]
[13:30] <StephenLynx> from aplay
[13:30] <StephenLynx> hdmi is card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
[13:32] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, run sudo lshw -C sound, then look in the list for "configuration: driver=snd-something'
[13:34] <StephenLynx> configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0
[13:34] <StephenLynx> for both of them
[13:43] <mcrabble> Can somebody help me with audio problem in 18.10?
[13:43] <mcrabble> I'm only getting one channel/mono out on both my 2.1 speakers and my headphones
[13:45] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, ok run, sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel the you may need to make your analog output card 0 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, with the line 'options snd-hda-intel index=0' then right below it, options hdmi index=-2, then save and reboot
[13:57] <mcrabble> I'm only getting one channel/mono audio output on 18.10, on both my headphones and 2.1 speakers.  Could someone help me troubleshoot please?
[14:13] <BluesKaj> mcrabble, is this true mono, with both channels outputin the same sound or is it one L or R channel only?
[14:15] <mcrabble> Not sure, on xfce, can't tell how to test
[14:15] <mcrabble> New to xfce
[14:18] <mcrabble> Ok, I found a way to test, it's not mono, only one channel is being output
[14:19] <mcrabble> BluesKaj: I tried it with both my headphones and speakers, each have their own cables and they display the same behavior
[14:23] <Xtreme> hey guys,  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZVVV8MRQgk/ < can someone help me understand this? I can see that i have kernel modules which i need, but they are not loaded in DMSEG
[14:23] <Xtreme> not cross posting. I have no idea whats going on in ##linux
[14:25] <BluesKaj> mcrabble, does your media player have an audio L/R balance control ?
[14:25] <mcrabble> Nope
[14:27] <mcrabble> BluesKaj: so in volume control I apparently have to unlock the output to get the channel balance, messing with left does nothing, right just makes the right channel louder/quieter
[14:30] <BluesKaj> mcrabble, L/R vol ctrls in ?
[14:30] <mcrabble> BluesKaj: system volume control
[14:31] <BluesKaj> hmm, must be a gnome thing, I'm on KDE/Plasma
[14:32] <mcrabble> BluesKaj: I'm not on gnome, i'm using xfce
[14:33] <BluesKaj> mcrabble, that's even more arcane for me
[14:34] <mcrabble> BluesKaj: I was just on solus and it worked fine
[14:34] <mcrabble> This is just telling me I need to switch distros, again
[14:35] <mcrabble> Thanks for your time
[14:35] <BluesKaj> mcrabble, suggest you try asking in #xubuntu, not highly populated but maybe they have some insights
[14:36] <BluesKaj> oops too late
[14:42] <Furai> Hmm, some topics on the internet claim that it's possible to move tabs between terminal windows.
[14:42] <Furai> I can't seem to be able to do that on ubuntu 18.10.
[14:42] <Furai> Did something change in that regard?
[14:43] <pragmaticenigma> Furai: Depends on what terminal emulator application you are using
[14:46] <Furai> The default from ubuntu.
[14:46] <Furai> Never tried anything else.
[14:46] <Furai> Apparently the threads show it was possible in 16.04
[14:47] <Furai> Right now I can't drag the tab out of the window to even detach it.
[14:49] <leftyfb> Furai: terminator can do this. You should try that one. It's got lots of features.
[14:54] <Furai> How do you even go about replacing the default terminator?
[14:54] <Furai> terminal*
[14:55] <black_13> if you build and ubuntu package from source would that allow you to have the dbg information and to step into the source
[14:56] <black_13> that is gdb into the source of library or sources of that package
[14:56] <Furai> If you build it with symbols then yes.
[14:56] <Furai> I don't see why not.
[14:57] <black_13> Furai: i want to build from source the packages for gstreamer
[14:57] <black_13> this seems to have some dependences
[14:57] <black_13> on other gstreamer packages
[14:57] <black_13> how do i build all these
[14:58] <leftyfb> Furai: if you install terminator, it becomes the default terminal emulator
[14:59] <Furai> leftyfb, just like that? Hmm, is there some project website to have a look at it?
[14:59] <leftyfb> Furai: sudo apt install terminator. It's REALLY that simple. If you don't like it: sudo apt remove terminator
[14:59] <tomreyn> Furai: you can: sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
[15:00] <Furai> I wanted to see it's feature list and so on. Could probably just check apt cache.
[15:00] <leftyfb> Furai: After googling for "terminator terminal emulator" you get: https://gnometerminator.blogspot.com/p/introduction.html
[15:01] <Furai> black_13, sorry, I can't you help more. Probably all depends on how it's build. If there are some makefiles - you should probably modify those and add compiler flags. Maybe there are as well targets defined which are meant for debugging.
[15:01] <Furai> leftyfb, I just wanted to be sure I'll find what you're talking about, not something different.
[15:02] <Furai> Thanks a ton.
[15:06] <johnfg> hi folks!
[15:06] <lordcirth__> hi
[15:07] <johnfg> On this new install, I wonder which would be the best vnc server/viewer to install?
[15:07] <pragmaticenigma> black_13: perhaps telling us the issue you are having with gstreamer, we might be able to help solve the problem without you needing to build from source
[15:07] <johnfg> On other distros, I usually install x11vnc.  Is there a preferred one for ubuntu?  I'm actually running xubuntu.
[15:08] <leftyfb> johnfg: I still prefer x11vnc
[15:08] <pragmaticenigma> johnfg: You can continue to use x11vnc... I believe that is the recommended vnc server for XFCE installs (Xubuntu)
[15:08] <black_13> pragmaticenigma: my issue is pedagoy
[15:08] <pragmaticenigma> black_13: I don't know what that is
[15:09] <black_13> pedagogy
[15:09] <black_13> bad spelling
[15:09] <leftyfb> he wants to learn
[15:09] <black_13> best way is to read the source
[15:09] <black_13> doesn't everyone say that
[15:11] <johnfg> Thanks guys, just the kind of input I was looking for :-)  I know it was close to a poll, which I shouldn't do.
[15:11] <black_13> but that wasn't the question i asked i want to build a set of packages from source
[15:14] <pragmaticenigma> black_13: That's fine, I'm just trying to better understand what you are doing. That way I or someone in this channel can better help you or find you a better resource for assistance
[15:17] <lordcirth__> It's a reflex many of us have to check for XY problems :)
[15:17] <black_13> sure
[15:18] <pragmaticenigma> black_13: Also, there is a channel for gstreamer... they may have someone in there familiar with building gstreamer from source that can help you out: #gstreamer
[15:19] <black_13> there is
[15:31] <bruce> howdy
[15:34] <sabertooth> hello, I'd like to use my pc as dhcp server for my local network instead of the broadband router provided by my ISP. Will it be ok if I just install dnsmasq on the server and disable dhcp from the router? My phone connecting to via wifi and router to the lan will get the dhcp lease from my server (does it send a probe via broadcast and the dhcp running on the server responds because it listen for thsese kind of broadcast messages?(?
[15:35] <leftyfb> sabertooth: why do you want to do this?
[15:36] <sabertooth> leftyfb: to learn and to gradually be able to change the broadband router provided by the isp with my own device
[15:36] <leftyfb> sabertooth: If you're looking to learn, I would suggest setting something up like isc-dhcp-server.
[15:37] <leftyfb> sabertooth: But the short answer is yes, it will work the way you assume
[15:37] <sabertooth> leftyfb: I'll check that out.. thnx
[15:38] <sabertooth> leftyfb: I have a bonus question too.. ;-) looking at conf online I don't see references to the way the dhcp server should send the gateway information
[15:38] <sabertooth> leftyfb: I read that the gateway should have ip_forward set and route all to the router
[15:38] <bieb1> I have a ubuntu pc at the office that has an IP address.. it responds to pings, but we can not figure out where this PC is.. I was trying to find the computer name using, nslookup, nmap, zenmap.. with no luck.. any other ideas?
[15:39] <sabertooth> bieb1: how many pcs in your office? ;-)
[15:39] <bieb1> 100+
[15:40] <leftyfb> sabertooth: I'm not sure what you're talking about. But setting up just a dhcp server alone has little to do with setting any ip_forward or routes other than specifying the router/gateway ip to be given out to dhcp clients.
[15:40] <lordcirth__> bieb1, log into your switch and see what port it is connected to.
[15:40] <bieb1> and a few VMWare also
[15:40] <sabertooth> leftyfb: but it seems the dnsmasq conf I saw have not reference to gateway ip to send with the dhcp lease
[15:41] <leftyfb> sabertooth: It should, though I'm not that familiar with dnsmasq. I suggest a proper dhcp server like isc-dhcp-server.
[15:41] <nacc> sabertooth: look for "deafult route"
[15:41] <nacc> err, "default route"
[15:41] <sabertooth> leftyfb: the ip_forward part is the next step.. once dhcp is up and running I'll set the server ad gateway and will switch off the router
[15:41] <leftyfb> bieb1: Your issue has nothing to do with ubuntu really and is offtopic here.
[15:41] <leftyfb> sabertooth: 1 step at a time
[15:42] <lordcirth__> leftyfb, personally I haven't found anything I've needed that dnsmasq didn't do.
[15:42] <leftyfb> lordcirth__: classes of dhcp pools?
[15:42] <sabertooth> leftyfb: so first set up the dhcp *without* any info on default gateway or setting the default gateway to the router's IP?
[15:42] <leftyfb> sabertooth: the latter, correct
[15:43] <nacc> leftyfb: it does support that
[15:43] <nacc> leftyfb: "dhcp vendor classes"
[15:43] <leftyfb> nacc: ok, again, not that familiar with dnsmasq. I've always used isc
[15:44] <nacc> leftyfb: yeah i agree with you it's probably easier
[15:44] <sabertooth> leftyfb: ok.. so after that configure the server as gateway and change the default gateway accordingly
[15:44] <leftyfb> I think of dnsmasq as a lightweight dhcp server meant for things like local virtualization and ICS type things. Not really for enterprise physical networks
[15:45] <sabertooth> leftyfb: will I need to restart the dhcp server .. is there a way to force a lease renew?
[15:45] <leftyfb> sabertooth: sure. Though we're getting a bit offtopic here. There's plenty of tutorials out there on how to build your own router. If you run into issues, you can ask for help here. Though I feel #ubuntu-server might be more appropriate.
[15:46] <sabertooth> leftyfb: sure.. thanks..
[15:47] <sabertooth> bye
[15:54] <jamie_1> hey, im running on ubuntu 18.10, i work with a lot of vm so i have 2 vmnet connections, but for some odd reason it shows the status of the vmnet on the status bar, is there a way to show my ethernet adapter instead?
[15:57] <leftyfb> jamie_1: what status bar?
[15:57] <jamie_1> leftyfb: in the upper right hand corner of the main display
[15:58] <leftyfb> jamie_1: got a screenshot of the issue?
[15:58] <jamie_1> where the battery indicator and sound indicator also are
[15:58] <SimonNL> tray
[15:58] <jamie_1> yeah the system tray
[15:58] <SimonNL> You're welcome
[15:59] <leftyfb> yeah, I get the area. I'm curious about what it's showing exactly. Can you take a screenshot?
[15:59] <jamie_1> thanks :p im horrible at remember the names of the stuff
[16:00] <jamie_1> https://pasteboard.co/I4kX6pG.png
[16:00] <jamie_1> that is the status of the vmnet1
[16:00] <jamie_1> which is turned off because im using software in the vm that needs a bridged connection
[16:01] <leftyfb> jamie_1: can you drop down the menu and screenshot it?
[16:02] <leftyfb> feel free to edit out anything personal
[16:06] <leftyfb> jamie_1: I understand the issue, though I don't have a solution. A workaround might be to run nm-applet as well which should default to your physical network device.
[16:13] <jamie_1> leftyfb: sorry on a call for work sorry, one sec
[16:15] <jamie_1> https://pasteboard.co/I4l38WU.png leftyfb
[16:15] <leftyfb> jamie_1: I think the idea is that it will show offline if ANY of your interfaces are offline
[16:16] <leftyfb> jamie_1: none of my virtual interfaces show up there though
[16:20] <jamie_1> leftyfb: i dont know if its a difference in using gnome vanilla
[16:20] <leftyfb> jamie_1: that might be.
[16:24] <ikonia> win 1
[16:24] <ikonia> oops
[16:28] <johnfg> For ubuntu, a page that discusses setting up x11vnc, having gdm, has the file: /run/user/120/gdm/Xauthority.
[16:29] <johnfg> I'm running xubuntu with lightdm.  The user id should be 100; no problem there.  But what do I use instead of: /run/user/120/gdm/Xauthority?
[16:30] <leftyfb> johnfg:  x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -display :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -usepw
[16:33] <isomari> greetings, how can I remove the noprefixroute flag using the ip command?
[16:37] <lordcirth__> isomari, I believe ip address change IFADDR dev IFNAME CONFFLAG-LIST, where CONFFLAG-LIST is the current list minus noprefixroute
[16:50] <JuJUBee> How can I use dd to duplicate one HD to a remote HD on same network so I don't have to take drive out of computer?
[16:51] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: live cd's/usb's and nfs
[16:52] <pragmaticenigma> JuJUBee: "dd" is not designed to work over the network... you can use "dd" to make the image, then send that image to another device, then on that device use "dd" to restore the image to a device attached
[16:52] <JuJUBee> leftyfb, if I boot both with live CD, can I just go from machine to machine?
[16:53] <leftyfb> oh wait, image it directly. I don't think you can. You'll need to use dd to take an image to a file of the source drive. Then mount that somewhere or copy it to usb and use that to dd to the other drive
[16:53] <johnfg> my xubuntu has: /run/user/1000/, with some directories underneath.
[16:53] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: no
[16:53] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: you cannot access the block devices of one machine from the another on the network like that
[16:54] <johnfg> leftyfb: Thanks.  Of course, the typo with 100.  Meant the 1000 of later.
[16:54] <JuJUBee> leftyfb, ok, so I have to have local storage to save image then move to other computer to restore
[16:54] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: local or mount over nfs, yeah
[16:54] <JuJUBee> ok
[16:54] <JuJUBee> thanks
[16:55] <johnfg> leftyfb: It's good leftyfb!  Started and accessible from other office!
[16:57] <JuJUBee> leftyfb, I tried with clonezilla but when I booted the restored computer I got UUID not found.  Is this a grub issue? or something else?
[16:59] <leftyfb> JuJUBee: You'll need to contact clonezilla for support with their bootable OS.
[17:05] <RandomNick312> Heya! So i'm running a decent CPU(i5 3330), decent GPU(Gainward GTX760 Phantom 4GB) and got 8GB of RAM. I'm running XUbuntu 18.10 and got the NVIDIA driver version 415.27 installed. Yet firefox feels slowish when scrolling and i can literally see it scroll, as well as Rocket League(native linux game) is behaving weird ingame, like it feels like something's set up wrong(does not really look like 60fps, although game performance shows 60+)
[17:05] <RandomNick312> . At this point i'm out of ideas, since i'm coming from Windows 10 and had no graphics issues at all :/
[17:07] <RandomNick312> oh and nvidia-smi shows fan and temp, but PWR Usage/Cap is N/A
[17:12] <skr> RandomNick312, are you using nvidia proprietary drivers?
[17:14] <RandomNick312> skr: Yes i am. from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
[17:15] <obams72> hello
[17:16] <skr> RandomNick312, aren't you meaning 'tearing' for firefox?
[17:17] <RandomNick312> skr: Uhm actually now that you say..yes it's tearing(as well?)
[17:19] <skr> RandomNick312, enable forcecompositionpipeline or forcefullcompositionpipeline. It will fix tearing.
[17:19] <StephenLynx> btw BluesKaj when you mentioned options snd-hda-intel index=0, you meant snd_hda_intel , right?
[17:20] <RandomNick312> skr: Should i enable "sync to VBlank" btw? I had disabled it, suspecting it to cause my graphics issues ingame
[17:20] <Zewwy> If I setuu a super simple Ubuntu server (all-in-one parition) whats the easiest way to expand it? (Its a VM and extending the HDD is easy "physcially")
[17:21] <BluesKaj> StephenLynx, both syntaxes should work, but you're correct  underscores are the default
[17:21] <Zewwy> is using gparted via a live boot the best option?
[17:21] <MalMen> hi
[17:21] <Zewwy> or is there a live option?
[17:22] <MalMen> my PC just shutdown by accident and I was compiling stuff in one of my servers
[17:22] <MalMen> the compiler is still on
[17:22] <MalMen> is there anyway to restore the window that I closed ? :(
[17:23] <skr> RandomNick312, no, sync to vblank wont fix tearing
[17:23] <RandomNick312> skr: Not to fix tearing, but graphics issues in RocketLeague ^^
[17:23] <skr> you can try
[17:24] <Zewwy> Gefore 1080 with a Gsync 144Hz Monitor = no tearing
[17:25] <RandomNick312> skr: uhm, could my issue be related to having a dedicated GPU and a CPU with integrated graphics?
[17:25] <skr> no
[17:25] <Zewwy> generally not
[17:27] <Zewwy> Can you exapnd a partition live, like in windows on Ubuntu?
[17:30] <RandomNick312> skr: I think the option helped with firefox tearing (tested with https://www.vsynctester.com/), but not 100%. I'll now try ingame and see if it helped..idk if it's tearing ingame really
[17:31] <RandomNick312> Should i enable VSync though?
[17:31] <Zewwy> if you have high FPD and are willing to loose a few
[17:31] <Zewwy> sure why not
[17:31] <Zewwy> FPS*
[17:31] <RandomNick312> oh and is it normal, that "nvidia-smi" doesn't show any proccesses, saying "not supported"?
[17:32] <RandomNick312> Zewwy: I'm experiencing stuttering or something similar, that's why i was genuinely experimenting
[17:32] <leftyfb> Zewwy: short answer, yes.
[17:32] <cryptodan> I get no tearing on linux with nvidia
[17:32] <Zewwy> RandomNick312: drivers?
[17:32] <Zewwy> faulty card?
[17:33] <Zewwy> leftyfb: got a link to a longer answer lol
[17:33] <leftyfb> Zewwy: LVM is the proper way.
[17:33] <skr> RandomNick312, stuttering in firefox? are you using flash?
[17:33] <RandomNick312> Zewwy: drivers are newest compatible proprietary driver
[17:33] <RandomNick312> skr: Nah, it was tearing on normal txt pages
[17:34] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: what video card
[17:34] <RandomNick312> Gainward GTX760 Phantom 4GB
[17:34] <Zewwy> its got Phantoms alright
[17:34] <cryptodan> what kind of monitor and what kind of cables
[17:35] <RandomNick312> My GPU is also getting considerably hotter and fan speed higher in RocketLeague than it did on Windows btw
[17:35] <Zewwy> Seems driver related, but *shrug*
[17:35] <Zewwy> i unno
[17:36] <RandomNick312> BenQ GL2450H and HDMI to HDMI
[17:39] <RandomNick312> Rocket League actually feels slower lol. Although ingame perfomance stats show constant high(over my possible 60 even, but that's RLs weird calculation) and it still feels slower
[17:39] <Zewwy> Does LVM exist on server eidtion (no desktop GUI)
[17:39] <cryptodan> you sure its hdmi per google and benq that monitor doesnt have hdmi RandomNick312
[17:39] <RandomNick312> oh and could "force full composition pipeline" cause input lag from a gamepad? ^^
[17:41] <RandomNick312> cryptodan: it does though https://www.amazon.de/BenQ-GL2450H-Monitor-Reaktionszeit-schwarz/dp/B00HZF2M9U
[17:42] <yuta> hello
[17:42] <yuta> i have a ubuntu live USB with persistence
[17:42] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: https://www.benq.com/en/monitor/stylish/gl2450/specifications.html
[17:42] <dasilva> hello
[17:42] <yuta> i want to access the persistence file system from another computer, pluggin in the USB
[17:42] <yuta> where can i locate these files?
[17:43] <RandomNick312> cryptodan: i guess the "H" adds HDMI then :-D
[17:43] <yuta> i suppose that it is a image or similar
[17:43] <yuta> how can i mount that filesystem on my current system to access the home folder?
[17:43] <BrianBlaze> I have never had luck with live systems and trying to save anywhere on them, but I never took the time to get into it either
[17:44] <ashumudus> [QUESTION] i have just installed utorrent on ubuntu 18.04 through software center. But its not launching. when i click on it nothing nada ... can anybody help
[17:44] <dasilva> wn
[17:44] <dasilva>  WN
[17:44] <BrianBlaze> ashumudus, transmission is the best <3
[17:45] <yuta> ashumudus: run it from command line and see STDERR/STDOUT to find any error or useful information
[17:45] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: I would get a better HDMI Cable to see if its the cabling causing your tearing and stuttering.
[17:45] <yuta> or see the log file
[17:45] <ashumudus> @BrianBlaze , ill try it mate but still an installed program should work or give some sort of error
[17:46] <ashumudus> @yuta lemme try that
[17:47] <BrianBlaze> to see the error you normally need to open it from terminal then it will let you know
[17:48] <RandomNick312> cryptodan: well, it worked fine on Windows10..so i suspect something else. But i just tried playing with vsync on and setting max FPS ingame to 60 and it seems like it's smoother now
[17:48] <RandomNick312> I really suspect the vsync option to be the issue here
[17:49] <RandomNick312> my god yes, turning off the composition pipeline setting again, it feels just as sluggish as before
[17:49] <RandomNick312> skr: thanks man!
[17:49] <skr> ;)
[17:50] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: but windows drivers and linux drivers shouldnt be compared
[17:50] <RandomNick312> What exactly does "Sync to VBlank" do though?
[17:50] <RandomNick312> cryptodan: agreed, but the cable is the same^^
[17:50] <cryptodan> that syncs your refresh rate to your monitor
[17:51] <cryptodan> so it is forcing 60hz to your monitor
[17:51] <Zewwy> only 60hz :( :P
[17:51] <RandomNick312> so it SHOULD be a good idea to enable it when i am facing those issues?=
[17:52] <Zewwy> wouldn't you want variable frame rate in times of stutter or hard computaional graphics?
[17:52] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: if your monitor cannot cope with what the video card is sending it then yeah
[17:53] <RandomNick312> Zewwy: I don't know what i want anymore.. just realized the option didn't really fix the weird fps ingame
[17:53] <Zewwy> cryptodan: what do you mean by cope, more frames than the monitor can handel, or less?
[17:53] <Zewwy> RandomNick312: I think you want smooth game play
[17:53] <RandomNick312> I do, ya
[17:54] <cryptodan> Zewwy: being able to handle the frames its being sent
[17:54] <yuta> anyone can give me an advice? i need to access the persistence filesystem on a ubuntu live usb from my system (debian)
[17:54] <Zewwy> really sucks when you have manually tweak a hundred setting to get what you want
[17:54] <Zewwy> yuta: mount it?
[17:55] <RandomNick312> Zewwy: do you mean me? Yes it does suck :(
[17:55] <yuta> Zewwy: i have the usb mounted, i can see all the files
[17:55] <RandomNick312> I've died 100 deaths trying to fix it
[17:55] <yuta> Zewwy: but i don't know where the filesystem is located (the home folders)
[17:55] <Zewwy> RandomNick312: Windows makes something easy..
[17:56] <RandomNick312> Yeah it makes updating easy, by taking it out of your hands..that's big part of why i switched few weeks ago
[17:56] <Zewwy> if it's single partition drive just use find command
[17:56] <RandomNick312> From Win10 to Kubuntu to Xubuntu xD
[17:56] <Zewwy> if it's multi partitioned ensur you've mounted the correct partitions
[17:56] <yuta> Zewwy: the files that i want are not there!
[17:56] <Zewwy> *shrug* beats me
[17:56] <yuta> oh
[17:56] <yuta> i see now
[17:57] <yuta> there is a "filesystem.squashfs" file
[17:57] <yuta> the files that i want must be there
[17:57] <yuta> how can i mount that fs?
[17:57] <Zewwy> unno I don't dick with file system files
[17:57] <EriC^^> yuta: that's the read only filesystem, look for casper-rw
[17:58] <EriC^^> yuta: then "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/casper-rw /mnt"
[17:58] <yuta> EriC^^: i only need to copy some files, no need for write privileges
[17:58] <yuta> EriC^^: so it must work, right?
[17:58] <Zewwy> if your just reading content, yea
[17:58] <EriC^^> yuta: no the filesystem is the read only filesystem for the live usb, the stuff you've added is in casper-rw
[17:59] <Zewwy> what exactly is the end goal?
[17:59] <RandomNick312> nop..this still didn't fix my issue :(
[17:59] <yuta> EriC^^: ok, thanks
[18:00] <yuta> EriC^^: i dont see any casper-rw file
[18:00] <RandomNick312> brb rebooting, gonna enable sync to vblank(was enabled default)
[18:00] <yuta> EriC^^: what exactly do you mean?
[18:01] <Zewwy> yuta: What are you trying to accomplish?
[18:01] <yuta> Zewwy: i need to extract some pieces of code that are stored in the home folder of that usb persistence
[18:01] <yuta> nothing else
[18:01] <EriC^^> yuta: where did you mount the live usb?
[18:02] <Zewwy> extract file system code, huh, still wonder what the goal is
[18:02] <yuta> EriC^^: it is mounted on /media/live/MYLINUXLIVE
[18:02] <EriC^^> yuta: what does 'ls -l /media/live/MYLINUXLIVE/casper-rw' give?
[18:03] <yuta> there is no such file
[18:03] <Zewwy> :)
[18:04] <EriC^^> yuta: try "find /media/live -type f -iname 'casper-rw'"
[18:04] <yuta> oh i see
[18:04] <yuta> i found it, thanks
[18:05] <yuta> i was looking in "casper" fodler
[18:05] <yuta> now
[18:05] <yuta> how i mount it?
[18:05] <EriC^^> yuta: then "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/casper-rw /mnt"
[18:06] <yuta> EriC^^: thank you!
[18:06] <EriC^^> no problem
[18:08] <Zewwy> Goal Accomplished
[18:09] <rud0lf> Zewwy: first ubuntu operated satellite is on orbit?
[18:09] <RandomNick312> hmm..it's good now, after enabling sync to vblank and rebooting
[18:09] <RandomNick312> aaaaand..tabbing out and back in made it slow again
[18:09] <Zewwy> rud0lf: must have been the reboot
[18:09] <RandomNick312> any idea if this could be related?
[18:09] <Zewwy> probably not supported
[18:09] <Zewwy> or tested
[18:10] <rud0lf> i reinstalled ubuntu because my disk was corrupted and now my bluetooth is moody
[18:10] <rud0lf> fighting with it atm
[18:10] <Zewwy> assuming you used a new disc, thats interesting
[18:11] <rud0lf> i did
[18:12] <rud0lf> but it's probably non-standard bt usb dongle, windows is moody too
[18:12] <Zewwy> Same OS version and same drivers?
[18:12] <rud0lf> yes but i spent some time before mangling with bt settings, and i don't remember what actually i did
[18:12] <rud0lf> i think it was disabling something in .conf
[18:13] <rud0lf> anyway, i rather wanted to share my misery than to seek for help here :)
[18:13] <Zewwy> All good, computers are painful at times
[18:13] <RandomNick312> Zewwy: agreed 200%.. still facing this issue
[18:14] <Zewwy> If it only occurs while tabbing in and out of the game, don't do it
[18:14] <Zewwy> if you find a reproducable bug, report it, and avoid doing it :P
[18:15] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: get a different cable and if that doesn't work then i would get a better monitor
[18:16] <Zewwy> I doubt its the cable or monitor, seem driver related IMHO
[18:16] <RandomNick312> is it normal that tabbing in and out is muuuch faster than on windows, almost instantenous?
[18:16] <RandomNick312> oh, OpenGL and DirectX, eh?
[18:17] <lordcirth__> RandomNick312, linux is often faster than Windows.
[18:17] <Zewwy> depedning on task and many factors
[18:17] <EriC^^> i notice linux is faster than windows for me, except with an ssd the difference becomes less noticeable
[18:17] <Zewwy> linux IS less bloaty than Windows
[18:17] <RandomNick312> Reminded me of the '"borderless fullscreen" having less FPS than "fullscreen"' issue
[18:18] <RandomNick312> *on windows
[18:18] <Zewwy> If you optamize Windows and remove all the services and crap you don't want or need, it can be a great OS
[18:18] <cryptodan> I have 2 very old dell ultrsharps 24" and have had no tearing or stutter with them on linux or windows using video cards from an 8800gts to a gtx 980ti using hdmi and now displayport
[18:18] <Zewwy> generally not worth the work, that Linux makes easy out of the box
[18:19] <RandomNick312> okay say..it is driver related..what do :/
[18:19] <Zewwy> try differen't versions, if you're lucky and the cards still supported by the manufcacter ask their support for help
[18:19] <Zewwy> else your on your own
[18:19] <RandomNick312> Is there any way i can actually "see logs of" or "record" the issue?
[18:20] <Zewwy> If you YOLO, you YOYO
[18:20] <RandomNick312> '*For the products which you cannot find it in the category, please download from Nvidia or ATi'
[18:20] <RandomNick312> http://www.gainward.com/main/download.php?lang=en
[18:20] <RandomNick312> thanks for nothing Gainward..
[18:20] <Zewwy> Yeah the big boys just licensed their stuff to other manufacterers
[18:21] <Zewwy> When it came to NVidia I always picked Asus
[18:21] <Zewwy> cause they stick around
[18:21] <dff> does sudo service ssh start stop restart also restart the ssh daemon?
[18:21] <dff> or is it some client that gets restarted
[18:21] <Zewwy> thats fpor the service
[18:21] <Zewwy> aka daemon
[18:21] <lordcirth__> RandomNick312, what GPU are you trying to get working?
[18:21] <dff> Zewwy: thanks
[18:21] <Zewwy> they are the same
[18:21] <RandomNick312> Gainward GTX760 Phantom 4GB
[18:22] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: get a different cable
[18:22] <dff> so both ssh and sshd do the same thing
[18:22] <RandomNick312> It "is" working..it seems..but it isn't smooth and doesn't feel normal
[18:22] <dff> right
[18:22] <dff> thanks
[18:22] <Zewwy> RandomNick312: Trya  diff cable as suggested, I'm assming the results will be the same, but at least its a varialbe you can cut out
[18:22] <Cuma> I just installed the ubuntu operating system. audio driver is up to date, but no sound. Tried again with headphones. I tried to check via Alsamixer settings, no sound.
[18:22] <lordcirth__> dff, 'ssh.service' is the same as 'sshd.service' in systemd, yes. The actual commands 'ssh' and 'sshd' are of course different.
[18:22] <dff> right
[18:23] <lordcirth__> RandomNick312, what driver are you running?
[18:23] <Zewwy> Cuma: Hardware specs would be helpful?
[18:23] <RandomNick312> proprietary nvidia driver version 415.27
[18:23] <Zewwy> lordcirth__: Yeah but theres no restarting a client, it's either your connected, or yoru not
[18:23] <RandomNick312> Xubuntu 18.10
[18:23] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, yes, and?
[18:24] <Zewwy> Made the initla question mute
[18:24] <lordcirth__> RandomNick312, well, nvidia's site recommends 418.43, but that's not a big difference
[18:25] <RandomNick312> oh that one's fresh
[18:26] <RandomNick312> Guess i will install and come back to cry afterwards :-P
[18:26] <Zewwy> yeah try different drivers
[18:26] <lordcirth__> RandomNick312, but you should be installing from ppa, not nvidia's site directly, if possible
[18:26] <RandomNick312> i am from ppa
[18:27] <RandomNick312> after running apt update, it showed me the update as well
[18:28] <Zewwy> Juicy
[18:28] <Rootsudo> fuck yaaaaaalllll
[18:28] <Rootsudo> oh, sorry this is the ubuntu chat
[18:28] <Zewwy> ok..
[18:28] <Cuma> I installed the Linux operating system for the first time. I should get Turkish language support. Zewwy, thank you for your interest.
[18:29] <Zewwy> LVM is not seeing my expanded disc size, now in Windows diskmgmt I press F5 to refresh and it sees it
[18:29] <Zewwy> how do I make LVM see the whole new disc
[18:29] <RandomNick312> any way to see which process is using my GPU "How much" btw?
[18:29] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, in what sense did the disk expand?
[18:29] <Zewwy> on Hypervisor, expand disc
[18:29] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, ah, a VM, ok. Is the LVM PV a partition on the disk?
[18:29] <Zewwy> 20GB -> 40GB
[18:30] <Zewwy> uhhhh
[18:30] <Zewwy> no clue?
[18:30] <Zewwy> all-in-partition at creation
[18:30] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, lsblk -f
[18:30] <Zewwy> aight, what am I looknig 4
[18:30] <lordcirth__> RandomNick312, nvidia-smi will tell you total load. On some systems/drivers/cards? it will show processes
[18:30] <Sven_vB> what does the dpkg-divert manpage mean with "divert-to is the location where the versions of file, as provided by other packages, will be diverted."? if I divert /etc/foo.conf, would "divert-to" default to /etc/foo.conf.distrib?
[18:30] <RandomNick312> It mostly shows N/A lordcirth__
[18:31] <RandomNick312> https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/498322/cuda-programming-and-performance/gpu-utilization-broken-in-cuda-4-0-is-patch-available-/ oh
[18:31] <Zewwy> ohh boy
[18:31] <Zewwy> so I have Sda1 vfat and sda2 ext4
[18:32] <Zewwy> what do I do next
[18:32] <RandomNick312> I was asking because my GPU is running on around 50°C and 45% fan speed while i'm casually browsing and chatting here
[18:32] <Zewwy> lil high but over not too obad
[18:32] <RandomNick312> for casual browsing even?
[18:33] <Zewwy> to many variables to know
[18:33] <pragmaticenigma> RandomNick312: That would depend on what you're browsing... web pages load all sorts of things in the background
[18:33] <Zewwy> ^^
[18:33] <Zewwy> also room temp, air flow
[18:33] <Zewwy> etc, etc, etc
[18:34] <Zewwy> too many variables to know
[18:34] <Zewwy> quality of the thermal paste, how old it is, etc etc
[18:35] <Zewwy> lordcirth__: I ran lsblk -f what do I do now?
[18:35] <RandomNick312> how does thermal paste relate to GPU ^^
[18:35] <Zewwy> if your GPU doesn't have a heat sink, wow
[18:35] <RandomNick312> granted higher cpu temp means hotter airflow, but eh
[18:35] <Sven_vB> RandomNick312, check htop to see whether some background processes are on a rampage. I had that several times with udisksd.
[18:35] <pragmaticenigma> RandomNick312: These are questions that are better suited for the #ubuntu-offtopic channel... please stick to Ubuntu OS specific questions here
[18:36] <RandomNick312> I was reacting to a suggested fix for my issue...
[18:36] <Sven_vB> RandomNick312, also there's a daemon that can control CPU frequency on compatible CPUs. on one of my machines it runs wild and I wasn't able to tame it yet.
[18:36] <Zewwy> I'm assuming rebooting is the easiest way to get LVM to see my whole disk afetr expanding at the hypervisor?
[18:36] <r3ply`> RandomNick312, you might also ask in ##hardware
[18:36] <Zewwy> I'm kinda being left in limbo here
[18:37] <Sven_vB> Zewwy, dunno if there are better ways but a reboot should do the trick.
[18:37] <RandomNick312> you should be able to use partprobe to refresh it Zewwy
[18:37] <Zewwy> I thought Linux can do anything windows can and better
[18:38] <Zewwy> part probe eh
[18:38] <Sven_vB> Zewwy, indeed, but you need to know the correct magic chant to make it do that. ;)
[18:38] <pragmaticenigma> Zewwy: It's best practice to avoid changing disk sizes on a live system
[18:38] <Zewwy> Windows does it better
[18:38] <Zewwy> I'll reboot
[18:38] <Zewwy> Windows 1 linux 0
[18:38] <RandomNick312> I assume you expanded the virtual disk in VMWare or whatever?
[18:38] <Zewwy> yes
[18:38] <Zewwy> With Windows its soooo easy
[18:39] <RandomNick312> Okay if you don't want to, reboot then..
[18:39] <Zewwy> i did partprobe
[18:39] <Zewwy> didn't work
[18:39] <Zewwy> rebooting
[18:39] <RandomNick312> Did you expand the disk itself, or only the virtual disk?
[18:39] <Sven_vB> Zewwy, you can use windows for the partitioning and then do other stuff with linux. mix and match as you like.
[18:40] <RandomNick312> I've got a great tutorial for expanding lvm volumes at hand, but it's in german :/
[18:40] <Zewwy> With windows you expand the disc at the hypervisor, open diskmgmt, f5 refresh the page, exapnd the disk, done, Linux LVM doesn't see the new expanded disc
[18:40] <Zewwy> no matter what
[18:41] <RandomNick312> what did you do so far, only expand the disk in vmware?
[18:41] <RandomNick312> or whatever hypervisor*
[18:41] <Zewwy> reboot now sees it but...
[18:41] <Zewwy> GPT PMBR size mismatch
[18:42] <Zewwy> will be corrected by w(rite)
[18:42] <Zewwy> wtf does that mean
[18:42] <pragmaticenigma> Zewwy: It is asked that you avoid vulgar words or acronyms that imply them in this channel
[18:43] <Zewwy> How does frank understand this crazy lingo
[18:43] <Zewwy> this is NOT easy
[18:48] <Zewwy> http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/repairing.html
[18:48] <Zewwy> well this didn't help
[18:49] <andrewj> Hi, new to ubuntu/linux, just installed 18.04.2 LTS to new computer. settings > sound is showing only HDMI outputs and S/PDIF although comptuer has standard earphone jack in and out as well. . . Anyone know how to remedy that? I'm guessing it's an easy fix but I don't have the exp to make it so.
[18:49] <pragmaticenigma> andrewj: Do you have anything plugged into the headphone port?
[18:50] <andrewj> no, not at present. Neitehr to the S/PDIF though
[18:51] <pragmaticenigma> andrewj: Try plugging in your headphones/speakers to the port then go and reopen the settings
[18:51] <Zewwy> ^^
[18:51] <Zewwy> Hadphone jacks are aware usually if something connected
[18:51] <Zewwy> impedence values
[18:52] <Zewwy> Be lovely if someone could give me a hint as to how to fix my parition that fdisk is saying theres a problem with
[18:52] <andrewj> pragmaticenigma, thanks, I'll give that a try
[18:53] <andrewj> pragmaticenigma, AHA! thank you friend. (andty too Zewwy)
[18:53] <pragmaticenigma> Zewwy: I've tried searching but everything I find is a few years older than I'm comfortable recommending
[18:54] <Zewwy> np, i noticed the same thing with old old ac97 drivers on Windows98 or even Xp or 7
[18:54] <Zewwy> pragmaticenigma: I tried this right now
[18:54] <Zewwy> https://askubuntu.com/questions/460233/cant-restore-my-gpt-data-with-gdisk
[18:54] <Zewwy> lets see
[18:55] <Zewwy> i made a backup before I started this anyway, so noty like Im hooped if I screw up
[18:55] <pragmaticenigma> Zewwy: smartest step to make! always make a backup!
[18:55] <Zewwy> you know it
[18:55] <Zewwy> less sweat under my pits
[18:55] <RandomNick312> heya, any idea where i should go with those (possibly) nvidia driver issues?
[18:56] <Zewwy> RandomNick312: did the updates succeed?
[18:56] <RandomNick312> oh, i forgot to update. i am downloading the recommended benchmark tests from the ppa, so i got something to show
[18:56] <EriC^^> Zewwy: what's the problem you have?
[18:57] <Zewwy> the link i shared worked!
[18:57] <Zewwy> getttin a stupid gpt mbr error after exapnding a simple HDD(cirtuall hdd)
[18:57] <Zewwy> virtual*
[18:58] <Zewwy> now I can finally use LVM to expand the parition
[18:58] <Zewwy> way more work than windows for sure
[18:58] <Zewwy> gparted would have probably saved me a fair amount of grief
[18:59] <pragmaticenigma> Zewwy: There's probably a different approach to what you were doing. And ya... gparted probably would have saved you a little trouble
[18:59] <pragmaticenigma> Zewwy: glad to see you got it work
[18:59] <Zewwy> pragmaticenigma: well in reality you shoudl be able to expand the virtual drive reboot, and linux should know better
[18:59] <pragmaticenigma> RandomNick312: You might need to repost your original question... It has scrolled out of my history
[18:59] <Zewwy> if Windows can do... linux should be able to do it better
[19:01] <pragmaticenigma> fdisk is a bit long in the tooth, it is also more low level access. gparted gives a much higher level interface, make it more user friendly.
[19:01] <Budgii> is lubuntu the lightest OS?
[19:01] <Budgii> ive got an i3 with 2gb of ram thought i'd try that.
[19:01] <Zewwy> pragmaticenigma: agreed
[19:01] <Zewwy> AFAIK it was designed to be lightweight
[19:02] <RandomNick312> pragmaticenigma: sry it was quite a bit.. started around https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23ubuntu.html#t17:05
[19:02] <pragmaticenigma> Budgii: Lubuntu strives to be system resource friendly
[19:02] <RandomNick312> At this point i'm considering it COULD be related to CPU usage as well?
[19:02] <Budgii> thats what i thought. thanks pragmaticenigma
[19:03] <RandomNick312> Since the game is running 2 processes combined, around "130% CPU" in htop
[19:03] <RandomNick312> while tabbed out and in main menu..
[19:04] <pragmaticenigma> RandomNick312: I run with a GTX 645 and haven't noticed any sluggishness in Firefox (I don't game so I can't speak to that exactly)
[19:06] <RandomNick312> I'll be updating my drivers now..since the benchmark download is rigged i guess
[19:06] <Xtreme> hey guys,  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZVVV8MRQgk/ < can someone help me understand this? I can see that i have kernel modules which i need, but they are not loaded in DMSEG
[19:06] <Xtreme> Can anyone help me fix the above issue?
[19:06] <Xtreme> its been over a week I am suffering with the problem.
[19:07] <pragmaticenigma> RandLover: For mine, I'm running nvidia drvier version 396.54
[19:10] <Xtreme> yvyz: Online?
[19:14] <windowdoor> Does anyone know if there are any plans to fix this regression in nautilus?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1164016  There's a huge amount of interest in a fix, and a working patch is available, but it doesn't seem like any devs are aware of it since it was marked "Fix Released".
[19:15] <yvyz> Xtreme: hello
[19:15] <Xtreme> How are you?
[19:15] <leftyfb> windowdoor: that is an upstream bug. Contact the gnome devs
[19:16] <yvyz> Good... whats up
[19:16] <Xtreme> I further debugged my issue
[19:16] <Xtreme> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xbh2W4GcDg/
[19:16] <Xtreme> SST drivers are loaded successfully
[19:17] <Xtreme> but only its not able to get the channel/,ic
[19:17] <Xtreme> mic
[19:17] <pragmaticenigma> RandomNick312: I see that I also have an update to nvidia... 418.43... seems like a jump
[19:17] <robertparkerx> how do I see cronjob for all users? -- doesn't crontab -e show only current user
[19:17] <Xtreme> even if i connect an external headphone, even that mic doesnt work.
[19:18] <RandomNick312> pragmaticenigma: well i'm updating through the drivers GUI thingy..although it's taking ages
[19:19] <pragmaticenigma> robertparkerx: you can see the current crontabs for all users in /var/spool/cron/crontabs ... DO NOT CHANGE THE FILES THERE!
[19:19] <robertparkerx> nano /var/spool/cron/crontabs
[19:20] <windowdoor> leftyfb: It's already been reported to them, but they refuse to fix it.  They basically claim that the bug is a feature.  Ubuntu had patched it in the past (for ubuntu 17.04 and earlier), but this patch stopped working in recent versions (18.04 and newer).  A new patch has been created by the arch community, but the Ubuntu devs don't seem to have taken notice.  I suspect they don't know since the bug was already marked "Fix Release
[19:20] <RandomNick312> i'll reboot and report back
[19:21] <robertparkerx> pragmaticenigma, I got a blank result
[19:22] <pragmaticenigma> robertparkerx: each user's file is in there separately
[19:22] <robertparkerx> ish sorry
[19:22] <pragmaticenigma> robertparkerx: You could do something like concat the files together in a separate location to view them all at once
[19:25] <RandomNick312> "GPU Utilization" isn't even showing over 50%, while ingame it's still kinda stuttering :/
[19:25] <RandomNick312> updated now btw
[19:25] <robertparkerx> thanks pragmaticenigma
[19:26] <RandomNick312> I'm basically out of ideas at this point.. except for driver issues specific to my GPU?
[19:29] <pragmaticenigma> RandomNick312: Do you have multiple monitors?
[19:30] <RandomNick312> 1 monitor
[19:31] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: please try my suggestions
[19:31] <RandomNick312> I don't have spare HDMI cables flying around :/
[19:32] <RandomNick312> and as i said, i highly doubt it's the cable..since just before reinstallation of OS it worked
[19:36] <leftyfb> windowdoor: open a new bug on launchpad as a regression
[19:38] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, sorry, had a meeting. How far did you get?
[19:40] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: part of troubleshooting
[19:40] <Zewwy> lordcirth__: I managed to fix the gpt error mbr thing on fdisk using a link i shared
[19:40] <Zewwy> lvm didn't seem to have any volumegroups
[19:40] <Zewwy> and resize2fs didn't do crap
[19:41] <Zewwy> running gparted live from a ISO
[19:41] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, so, you weren't actually using lvm?
[19:41] <Zewwy> so sick of this crap
[19:41] <armu> need help setup bind pay btc
[19:41] <lordcirth__> armu, I don't think that's on topic here
[19:41] <Zewwy> apparently not unno, no standization when it comes to this stuff on linux
[19:42] <Zewwy> SS free for all
[19:42] <armu> PAYING BTC for bind setup to host multiple domain names and an easy way to create a A name for each hosted domain name and point to a ip
[19:42] <cryptodan> armu: vestacp
[19:43] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, standardization of what? partitioning and LVM follow the same rules on all Linux distros, though the defaults may change
[19:43] <Zewwy> yeah i ran default install of Ubuntu
[19:43] <lordcirth__> armu, this sounds like a trivial bind setup. What part are you having trouble with?
[19:43] <Zewwy> so i unno if it does or doesn't or what
[19:43] <armu> cryptodan: tks too heavy
[19:43] <Zewwy> but gparted was so easy
[19:43] <Zewwy> how it should be
[19:44] <lordcirth__> Gparted is a nice tool, yes. I use it a lot. But learning how things actually work can be useful in future.
[19:44] <Zewwy> agreed but what a mess everything else seems to be, lvm just seems like a logical RAID ontop of a extisten volume/partitino, unno what it's trying to do
[19:45] <Zewwy> just give me a standard partition with a normal FS on it
[19:45] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, LVM does lots of things, but the main reason to put it on a single device is so you can make, shrink, and expand logical volumes easily.
[19:46] <geard_> Hey, i'm looking to reinstall my Ubuntu 18.04 this weekend. i'm curious what tools you guys would recommend for extracting my current configuration and backing my files up?
[19:46] <lordcirth__> Also it lets you have one LUKS device that contains multiple partitions, which can be handy
[19:46] <Zewwy> Yeah be nice to do it without it weird magic, just extend the partition using resize2fs liek gparted does
[19:46] <Zewwy> I saw the command gparted ran afterwards
[19:46] <lordcirth__> geard_, depends, how much did you change? Many people only need to restore their home directory
[19:46] <pragmaticenigma> geard_: There is no better tool than to simply copy those files to an external drive or location
[19:46] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, resize2fs is only the last command in the sequence.
[19:46] <Zewwy> I finally have my extnded parition
[19:46] <Zewwy> thank god
[19:46] <Zewwy> indeed
[19:47] <Zewwy> Gparted for the win
[19:47] <Zewwy> lvm can suck it
[19:47] <pragmaticenigma> Zewwy: Please keep it family friendly
[19:47] <lordcirth__> Zewwy, first you need to extend the partition, then the PV, then the LV, then the fs. A bit annoying but not that hard.
[19:48] <geard_> pragmaticenigma: i was hoping that wasn't the answer :)
[19:48] <lordcirth__> Most people don't resize their drives, really
[19:48] <Zewwy> yeah give me one comamnd that can do it for me, liek Windows diskmgmt
[19:48] <Zewwy> wizard next, next, next done
[19:48] <Zewwy> even in cli only scipts
[19:48] <geard_> lordcirth__: i'm not changing much. I just want to nuke and pave. I kinda want to currate some of my software i'm not using.
[19:49] <windowdoor> leftyfb: Ok thanks.  I wasn't sure if that was frowned upon since an issue already exists, but I guess it does make sense since it's really a separate instance of a similar bug.  Thanks again!
[19:49] <lordcirth__> geard_, I usually back up everything, just in case, then nuke and pave, then restore my user data only
[19:52] <geard_> lordcirth__:  thanks. I'll be doing that this weekend. Always like a nice clean install.
[19:52] <geard_> doesn't include all the garbage I tried for 10 minutes and forgot to remove
[19:53] <lordcirth__> geard_, yeah, I know what you mean
[19:57] <SpeCon> hello i just upgraded in terminal from 16.04 to 18 latest version. But when i reboot my computer i still see the same screen like before. I mean the menu at the left side of the screen is still thesame as in 16.04  is this normal ? when i type lsb_release -a it shows me Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS bionic so its updated for sure
[19:58] <leftyfb> SpeCon: there is no version "18"
[19:58] <SpeCon> hmm
[19:58] <SpeCon> bionic beaver ...
[19:58] <leftyfb> SpeCon: That is 18.04 and not "latest version".
[19:58] <SpeCon> normaly the desktop should be gnome right ?
[19:58] <SpeCon> yea 18.04.2 i have now
[19:58] <leftyfb> SpeCon: How exactly did you upgrade?
[19:58] <SpeCon> leftyfb,  hold on
[19:58] <leftyfb> oh, so you did upgrade then
[19:59] <SpeCon> yes  i did upgrade
[19:59] <leftyfb> SpeCon: The upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 will keep Unity as the default DE
[19:59] <SpeCon> but i don't have a gnome environment i think
[19:59] <SpeCon> ahhhh thats what i mean
[19:59] <RandomNick312> cryptodan: same issue with diff hdmi cable
[20:00] <leftyfb> SpeCon: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-gnome-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
[20:00] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: then time to look at getting a better monitor
[20:00] <SpeCon> ah okay thanks for the link leftyfb
[20:00] <RandomNick312> cryptodan: what makes you think it's the monitor though :/
[20:00] <RandomNick312> Since..Windows10 was fine
[20:01] <SpeCon> leftyfb, going to start installing gnome thanks mate
[20:02] <SpeCon> leftyfb, another question. With this brand new update that i did. Will my printer drivers still work and my sound stuff ? because i didn't test it out yet. I had allot of troubles to get my sound working on my HP laptop on 16.04
[20:02] <ioria> SpeCon, dpkg -l | grep gnome-shell
[20:02] <leftyfb> SpeCon: won't know until you test
[20:02] <SpeCon> oki
[20:02] <leftyfb> ioria: the upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 keeps Unity.
[20:03] <ioria> not sure
[20:03] <ioria> leftyfb, i think that link will install gnome classic
[20:03] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: the monitor maybe slow and unable to keep up with the video card and in windows the driver may have in it ways to cope with it
[20:03] <leftyfb> ioria: I thought that to, but toward the end it suggests installing ubuntu-desktop
[20:04] <ioria> that's ok
[20:05] <ioria> SpeCon,  don't you have  gnome-shell    installed ?
[20:07] <SpeCon> leftyfb, i did sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop but it hangs at 77% :s
[20:07] <RandomNick312> cryptodan: but isn't that still an nvidia issue then? D:
[20:07] <SpeCon> libsane-hpaio amd64 is getting configured
[20:07] <SpeCon> i hope it continues
[20:09] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: no
[20:09] <Zewwy> so driver related then
[20:10] <Zewwy> if the issue can be shown to be resolved with different drivers on a different OS, how exactly is it the issue not driver related?
[20:11] <RandomNick312> I'd say "the driver had a way to cope with it on windows" is essentially a driver issue then
[20:11] <Zewwy> me too
[20:11] <cryptodan> RandomNick312: or your monitor is crap and cannot keep with up with it
[20:11] <RandomNick312> But i've already asked for assistance in #nvidia
[20:11] <Zewwy> well its laways an option
[20:11] <Zewwy> try another monitor and report the reults
[20:11] <Zewwy> I'd expect teh same reuslt much like the diff cable
[20:12] <RandomNick312> well..now I really don't have a better monitor flying around..otherwise i'd use it
[20:12] <Zewwy> who doesn't have multiple monitors? :P
[20:12] <RandomNick312> someone with limited space and resources
[20:12] <Zewwy> time an dmoney
[20:21] <SpeCon> leftyfb, Just want to inform you that i have read some info on the internet and i found out that i just had to logout from the current desktop. After that i just could select gnome desktop. I didn't had to install anything anymore :)
[20:21] <SpeCon> so gnome is working now.
[20:22] <SpeCon> gnome was already installed with the upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04
[20:22] <Budgii> can someone help me learn how to make a simple startup script after reboot? I'm wanting to open terminal and type 'weechat'.thats all. :D
[20:23] <lordcirth__> Budgii, System > Settings > Startup Applications, or something like that
[20:23] <Grievre> I'm trying to update locales, libc6 and libc-bin on an embedded system from .debs I've built and dpkg seems to completely randomly just refuse to do it but then sometimes it does it just fine.
[20:24] <Grievre> It won't install libc6 because it breaks the old version of locales, it won't install libc-bin or locales because they need the new libc6
[20:24] <Grievre> sorry correction I didn't build the debs, I got them from launchpad
[20:24] <lordcirth__> Budgii, Will launch it on login. The actual command would probably be 'gnome-terminal -x weechat'
[20:25] <Budgii> lordcirth__:Im actually on raspberry pi, i thought it might be very similar. Maybe I should check in #raspberrypi?
[20:25] <Budgii> I think i just need to make a 'bash' script
[20:26] <lordcirth__> Budgii, do you have a desktop? If so, what desktop environment?
[20:26] <Budgii> I have mac, windows or ubuntu Budgie if needed.
[20:27] <Budgii> my purpose is so when i reboot my rpi, i don't hvae to connect via VNC and type in the word weechat manually. :p
[20:27] <Budgii> lordcirth__: i'm reading this but i'm not making a ton of sense from it. https://www.dexterindustries.com/howto/run-a-program-on-your-raspberry-pi-at-startup/
[20:29] <lordcirth__> Budgii, what you probably want is to get Budgie to open a terminal and run weechat when you log in
[20:30] <RandomNick312> I'm seriously considering a dualboot installation, just because my graphics are effing up :(
[20:30] <RandomNick312> Nobody got any other idea what to try, other than "switching monitors"?
[20:34] <system32> hi
[20:35] <system32> can anyone help me setup l2tp ? it does appear in settings
[20:35] <system32> i have the username , password , preshared key and server address
[20:36] <system32> OS: Ubuntu "bionic" 18.04
[21:06] <jcotton> is .dbus in my homedir supposed to be owned by root?
[21:06] <jcotton> drwx------  3 root   root    4096 Mar  3 15:10 .dbus/
[21:07] <Elw3> Doubtful
[21:09] <WoC> jcotton, it happens with you sudo
[21:09] <jcotton> so i should chown it?
[21:09] <WoC> imho yes
[21:09] <jcotton> to myself
[21:09] <WoC> chown -R id:grp
[21:09] <jcotton> done
[21:10] <WoC> sudo -H <cmd> and it wont happen
[21:11] <jcotton> also i've installed wine (sudo apt install wine) but i can't open .exe by double clicking
[21:12] <jcotton> i could've sworn that used to work
[21:12] <jcotton> 64-bit ubuntu 18.10 btw
[21:15] <mrec> does anyone know a tool which can do stdin caching (without depending on the stdout reader)  and dumping it to stdout?
[21:15] <jcotton> stdin caching?
[21:15] <lordcirth__> mrec, what do you mean by caching?
[21:15] <mrec> stdin will be blocked if the consumer isn't fast enough
[21:16] <lordcirth__> Like, saving a potentially really large stdin to disk, and slowly feeding it to stdout?
[21:16] <mrec> I need an extended circular buffer between 2 applications with some bigger caching memory
[21:16] <jcotton> can't tee do that?
[21:17] <mrec> I have fast data coming in and the raspberry pi might have some hickups when writing the data to the sdcard
[21:17] <mrec> that's the problem
[21:17] <mrec> which would cause the data to drop
[21:17] <lordcirth__> jcotton, tee writes to file and stdout at the same time, I think
[21:17] <jcotton> ah
[21:18] <mrec> in the worst case I'll do it myself but would be nice to know if anyone knows a standard tool
[21:18] <jcotton> ugh, GarbageShield installers
[21:19] <lordcirth__> mrec, I'm not aware of one, but it seems like the sort of thing the 'moreutils' team would like
[21:19] <lordcirth__> They have a number of other piping-related tools
[21:19] <mrec> cat /fastdata | pv | pv | pv | pv | pv > or something like that I guess
[21:19] <lordcirth__> lol
[21:19] <lordcirth__> Actually, "sponge" might do what you want?
[21:19] <mrec> hmm any kind of multipipe should increase the buffer
[21:20] <Zewwy> I like buff
[21:20] <lordcirth__> sponge reads everything, then when the input closes, starts sending it to stdout. That's probably not what you need
[21:21] <jcotton> oh god i broke X
[21:21] <jcotton> came out of a fullscreen wine app and the second montir is freaking out
[21:21] <mrec> echo foo | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat ...
[21:21] <mrec> :-)
[21:21] <lordcirth__> mrec, found it! apt install buffer; man 1 buffer
[21:21] <lordcirth__> pv also has flags to increase the buffer size
[21:22] <mrec> testing!
[21:22] <jcotton> >pee: tee standard input to pipes
[21:22] <jcotton> *clap*
[21:24] <mrec> buffer looks good!
[21:25] <mrec> I'm testing my FPGA design with the Raspberry PI (ATSC via SPI)
[21:25] <lordcirth__> cool
[21:25] <lordcirth__> I learned a thing today, too. buffer may come in handy one day
[21:29] <Budgii> lordcirth__: sorry, I had to step away
[21:29] <hmw_metalab> Mate/Menu Applet (The single-drop-down-menu version): It shows only a few items and I have to scroll all the time. I forgot, how to disable scrolling, so I tried to find the setting dconf-editor and did an extensive web search to no avail. How can I get rid of scrolling? Can I compare settings of both computers?
[21:29] <Budgii> I'm not wanting to run weechat on Budgie, i'm wantint it on the RPi since i use it as IRC relay.
[21:33] <tripelb> 18.04 weird: I have libreoffice (seen later) I go to software and it says install so I think I dont have it and click install. It says installing and hanges on a litle progress. so I look on the menu-tree and it is there. There is no button to cancel install. This is in the narmal software gui. cinnamon.
[21:33] <tripelb> what shall I do now.
[21:34] <tripelb> It is progressing, not hung. installing what is already installed. I dont understand. Please help me...
[21:34] <hmw_metalab> tripelb: how long have you been waiting?
[21:37] <tripelb> hmw_metalab, it isnt hung. but it is installing libreoffice over the install of libreoffice like the os routine called software doesnt understand what software is here.It is still progressing.. it is a slower connection.
[21:38] <lordcirth__> Could be it's installing libreoffice from snap, while you have it from apt. Or updating libreoffice. I wouldn't really know, I don't use the GUI software manager.
[21:38] <hmw_metalab> tripelb: I see, and I don't know for sure. My guess would be, that it simply re-installs the software
[21:40] <tripelb> It is progressing, not hung. installing what is already installed. I dont understand. Please help me...what do I do? (I am fully updated, upgraded today.
[21:40] <tripelb> noooo
[21:44] <tripelb> lordcirth__,  and hmw... It finished. I now have libreoffice and lif=breoffice 6.2 both installed. CONFUSING, AMUSING and WorkAble. --- Thanks. (I will talk to the libreoffice booth at Scale17x)
[21:47] <Acheron> i sure with a newer version of LibreOffice would show up in the official Ubuntu repos
[21:47] <Acheron> with=wish
[22:04] <bobdobbs> I'm using ubuntu 18.04. I've got a Canon MB5160 printer. My system sees it (although it describes it as MB5100). When I use the system print dialogue to send a job to the printer, nothing happens on the printer side of things. But I get a message from the window manager every 30 seconds or so telling me that a job is being sent to the printer.
[22:04] <bobdobbs> so... how do I actually print something?
[22:05] <bobdobbs> Better yet, how do I set up printing so that it works every time I try? At the moment I try and print something about once every two months. Every time I try I get a new and different issue.
[22:06] <bobdobbs> I've had this issue on every version of ubuntu from 10.04 (my first ubutu) onwards
[22:07] <jeremy31> bobdobbs: What have you tried?  I think there is a canon printer package shown in Synaptic Package Manager
[22:08] <bobdobbs> jeremy31: what have I tried to print? Recently? At the moment I'm using the system print dialogue.
[22:20] <amazoniantoad> How do I create a virtual interface in netplan?
[22:28] <davidfetter_work> hi
[22:29] <davidfetter_work> is there a fairly straight-forward way to diff the current files from those laid down by apt-get install ?
[22:47] <andrewj> Hi, newbie Ubtunu 18.04 user again. Installing rvm. installation goes fine but ends with a message that "installation of RVM is almost complete, then directs me to run 'source/home/myusername/.rvm/scripts/rvm in all your open shell windows". Probably sounds dumb, but I'm not sure how to interpret that
[22:49] <hggdh> andrewj: what is rvm?
[22:50] <andrewj> hggdh, Ruby Version Manager.  On second thought, maybe this isn't the right place to ask.
[22:51] <andrewj> hggdh, if so, my apologies. kinda new to this
[22:51] <davidfetter_work> nm. figured it out. apt-get download xxx && ar -vx xxx....deb && tar xJvf data.tar.xz
[22:52] <hggdh> andrewj: I can see no ruby-rvm package (if that is the package name). Where did you get it?
[22:53] <lavinho> good night
[22:53] <andrewj> hggdh, from http://rvm.io/ . Again, I may be asking in the wrong channel. it's really not ubuntu, it's a package for managing RoR installations. Again sorry for the distraction.
[22:53] <lavinho> how to realocate bad sectors hard drive ?
[22:53] <lavinho> ubuntu
[22:54] <hggdh> andrewj: yes, this would be the wrong channel, since it was not packaged by Ubuntu
[22:54] <andrewj> hggdh. yep. my mistake.
[23:02] <lavinho> help me please
[23:03] <tomreyn> lavinho: the hdd firmware usually does this by itself.
[23:04] <OerHeks> lavinho, realocate bad sectors ? that is not possible, they can be marked as bad.
[23:04] <lavinho> wd
[23:04] <lavinho> yes
[23:04] <lavinho> how to ?
[23:04] <tomreyn> if a disk has more bad sectors than it has spare ones, you definitely need to replace it.
[23:05] <OerHeks> sudo badblocks -v /dev/sda1 > /home/$USER/bad-sectors.txt
[23:06] <OerHeks> this can take a while
[23:06] <tomreyn> markting as bad can be done using badblocks. you can also run an ext file system check (fsck) and have it report its findings to badblocks. e2fsck -c
[23:08] <lavinho> sudo badblocks -svw /dev/sda
[23:10] <leftyfb> lavinho: if you have bad sectors on a drive, get a new one. STOP using that drive until you can make an image of it and recover what you need from it. Unless you don't care about the data on it at all, then just keep using it as normal until you lose everything.
[23:10] <OerHeks> bad sectors grow, indeed
[23:13] <hggdh> more than that: marking new bac blocks may corrupt files that were using the bad area... so leftyfb's suggestion is the best course of action
[23:14] <OerHeks> badblocks check and backup data
[23:14] <nisstyre> I recommend using ddrescue to image a bad drive
[23:15] <nisstyre> it will automatically truncate zeros and try to recover bad sectors
[23:18] <leftyfb> OerHeks: only if it can read the data from the bad block :)
[23:18] <leftyfb> +1 nisstyre
[23:46] <miracle> i have gtk2 + gtk3 libraries. i  install geany from ppa . it seems linked against gtk2 (ldd show it). i can change links from gtk2 to gtk3 without compilation ?
[23:48] <miracle> geany.pc in deb package contains Libs: Cflags: -DGTK -I${includedir}/geany -I${includedir}/geany/tagmanager -I${includedir}/geany/scintilla
[23:48] <miracle> what mean -DGTK ? it is gtk2 or gtk3 ?
[23:52] <tripelb> I have two versions of libre office. I didnt expect "Software" to not tell me I had one already. (18.04) -- So I used apt to remove libreoffice and it twlls me that libreoffice is not installed.   (sear sirs and sirrah, what is happening. -- one is 5 and one is 6.2)
[23:52] <tripelb> Package 'libreoffice' is not installed, so not removed
[23:54] <tomreyn> tripelb: you probably have one installed as a snap
[23:55] <tomreyn> "snap list"
[23:57] <black_13> how is gsteamer build from source for ubuntu?
[23:59] <OerHeks> black_13,  not sure why you want to do it with same result, but you can https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
