[00:28] <Dodek> hey, I want to print an image, but making sure that the print has the exact size I want. e.g. I want to specify that 100 pixels of image correspond to 1 inch of print. how do I do that?
[00:32] <Unte36> HEllo All. How can I set qBittorrent as default to open all torrent links from all applications? chrome, mozilla, etc???
[00:34] <nacc> Dodek: are't you just describign PPI?
[00:34] <kenrin> find a torrent,  right click properties > open with
[00:34] <Dodek> nacc: probably, yes.
[00:35] <nacc> Dodek: sounds like you want to specify 100 PPI, I think that depends on the applicationn used and if your printer can do it
[00:35] <nacc> Dodek: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tutorial-quickie-scale-print.html e.g.
[00:36] <nacc> Dodek: i thinkn your mistake might be thinking that pixels are a unit of size
[00:36] <b100s> hi2all! I would like to set up memory usage limit for process by pid (or by name) so, that process mem swap. I've found way through cgroups. Is there another way? If no how to do it by cgroups? I've mounted it as `mount -t cgroup2 none /mnt/cgroup2` and have no idea which file and how i have to change.
[00:37] <Sveta> b100s: which channel do you want an answer in, ##linux or #ubuntu or somewhere else?
[00:37] <Sveta> b100s: (you asked a question in both at the same time, i'm not sure...)
[00:38] <nacc> !crosspost | b100s
[00:38] <nacc> I guess Linux isn't an Ubuntu channel, but the principle applies
[00:38] <Dodek> 02:35 < nacc> Dodek: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tutorial-quickie-scale-print.html e.g.
[00:38] <Dodek> yes, this looks like what I want
[00:38] <Dodek> thanks!
[00:38] <nacc> Dodek: yw
[00:39] <omen_> some people are very sensitive that you stay on topic, maybe they have just seen too much OT and that has got into them
[00:44] <Sveta> b100s: use https://www.percona.com/blog/2015/07/01/using-cgroups-to-limit-mysql-and-mongodb-memory-usage/ and https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/77939/turning-off-swapping-for-only-one-process-with-cgroups/77955 i think, kinda combine the advice provided (the first one does memory limit which shows how to use cgroups, but the latter shows how to limit swap in particular)
[00:50] <b100s> Sveta, thanks; my main point is to move as much as possible mem of particular process inti swap
[00:50] <b100s> s/inti/into/
[00:50] <Sveta> you can set a small limit on its real memory size, it'll start using more swap
[00:51] <b100s> yup; are there other ways?
[00:59] <b100s> Sveta, in article author uses utilities cgcreate and cgclassify; is there way to done it without such utilities by writing values in files of cgroup2 fs?
[00:59] <Bashing-om> wildc4rd: Forum be down . can ping but page does not load .
[01:00] <Sveta> b100s you could run your process in a new shell where you alter the ulimit
[01:03] <b100s> Sveta, `ulimit — set or report file size limit`, there is no mem limits
[01:03] <Sveta> b100s it can do memory limits too
[01:04] <b100s> i don't see such possibility
[01:17] <NginUS> Why won't ubuntuforums.org load for me? Keeps timing out.

[01:29] <NginUS> Bashing-om: Don't know if it's related but I disabled ipv6 just now & it loaded like normal. Could be related or not... FYI in case it really helps
[01:30] <Bashing-om> NginUS: Can not say the relationship . I also am able to access the forum now - IPV4 :)
[01:40] <waltman> Is there a problem with ubuntuforums.org? It's often really slow, and now it seems completely unresponsive.
[01:42] <waltman> Seems up again, at least for now.
[01:46] <Bashing-om> waltman: yeah .. They be working on th forum . Presently also doing well for me .
[01:47] <Bashing-om> waltman: Nope .. slowed back down ..:(
[01:49] <waltman> Thanks. I managed to post my comment in the 2 minutes it was back up. :)

[02:43] <antiPoP> hi, I just updated my system and I'm got a "Sector 32 is already in use by the program `FlexNet'" warning. Why this?
[02:43] <antiPoP> I've google for it, and seems a windows program but I don't have windows installed in this system
[02:44] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: did you add external ppa's to your system?
[02:44] <antiPoP> yes, but you user-side apps
[02:45] <antiPoP> yes, but just user-side apps
[02:45] <yomane_2353> hello
[02:45] <lotuspsychje> yomane_2353: welcome, what can we do for you?
[02:46] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: remember adding something like flexnet to your system then?
[02:46] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, no, nothing about that
[02:47] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: must be something you added yourself, never seen that error before?
[02:47] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, not I havent' seen
[02:48] <yomane_2353> lotuspsychje : nothing .. i'm in visit
[02:49] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: can this help? https://askubuntu.com/questions/195390/grub-gives-messages-about-the-boot-sector-being-used-by-other-software-what-sho
[02:51] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, yes, I saw that. How can I dump sector 32 in a readable form?
[02:51] <lotuspsychje> !recovergrub | antiPoP this you can also try
[02:51] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: not sure mate, not familliar with this problem
[02:52] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje,  ok thanks
[02:54] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: whats your ubuntu version plz?
[02:54] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, 16.04
[02:54] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: fully updated to .3?
[02:54] <antiPoP> without hwe kernel
[02:58] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, I zeroed that sector and reinstalled grub, seems fine now, but I'm wondering why that was there
[02:59] <antiPoP> reboot..
[03:03] <GillaGirl> switched from on-board graphics to an AMD card, now ubuntu 16.04 desktop wont load and has a low graphics mode error.  any suggestions?
[03:04] <doug16k> GillaGirl, did you install amd's driver from the website?
[03:05] <GillaGirl> doug I tried with and without it.
[03:05] <GillaGirl> amdgpu-pro I beleive
[03:05] <doug16k> does amd's installer have a thing to reinitialize the xorg config files?
[03:06] <doug16k> nvidia's do
[03:06] <GillaGirl> doug16k, no idea....  never heard of it.
[03:09] <doug16k> GillaGirl, this mentions it in step 6: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[03:09] <doug16k> I don't have an AMD GPU so I'm not sure though
[03:10] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, re
[03:10] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: better now?
[03:11] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, same but without the warning
[03:12] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: i would clean out the ppa's, scan system with clamav, repair grub, update system..
[03:16] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, ppas seems fine, grub is repaired and system updated
[03:16] <nwinter> !bluetooth
[03:19] <antiPoP> lotuspsychje, maybe I added a windows hd long time ago and that installed FlexNet, thanks for your help
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> antiPoP: yeah, its not something ubuntu would get naturally

[03:42] <kevin125> how do i fix a broken btrfs volume ? I got this errors:
[03:42] <kevin125>  I paste it in http://paste.ubuntu.com/25827492/
[04:03] <rullie> so i think my 17.10 wayland freeze situation has something to do with the gnome 3 theme i was using.  after switched to Arc, I haven't had any problem.  Is this a possibility or I just haven't sampled enough?
[04:04] <rullie> ie. can gnome theme freeze the UI?  (audio still works)
[04:16] <kevin125> btrfs unable to find ref byte nr<PHONE_NUMBER>2 parent 0 root 1  owner 0 offset 1
[04:16] <kevin125> ?? how to resolve ?
[04:27] <Ghost_562> Good Evening, My computer when shutting down takes forever. Looks like it gets stuck on trying to stop the network manager
[04:28] <Ghost_562> I'm on 17.10 and never had this issue until upgrading from 17.04
[04:40] <hendry> what is the package for the simple `mail` command? just want to test mstmprc
[04:46] <mutante> hendry: mailutils
[04:47] <caliculk> Would someone mind helping me figure out an issue I have with my machine and IPv6? I have a static IP address that is being managed by /etc/network/interfaces, the file itself is correct, I have had multiple people double check it. However, when I try to do anything with IPv6 it will fail usually stating that it can't reach a host.
[04:48] <caliculk> So I have been trying to restart my networking service, but every time I do that, I get this fun error message in journalctl:  RTNETLINK answers: File exists
[04:48] <caliculk> I can't ping the gateway, which means something is wrong with my routing table...
[04:48] <caliculk> But, I can't figure out what or how to remove what I THINK is the invalid entry.
[04:53]  * alkisg waves
[04:58] <Sveta> alkisg: caliculk has issues with ipv6, ipv4 works ok, restarting of networking gives error in journalctl " RTNETLINK answers: File exists"
[04:59] <alkisg> Sveta: many ISPs have IPv6 issues here, so in network-manager I check to use it only for the link-local network :)
[05:00] <Apachez> how come ubuntu 17.10 iso doesnt contain software to burn cd/dvd discs?
[05:05] <caliculk> alkisg, unfortunately network-manager is not an option here. I have a link-local address, however, I am trying to configure inbound access on ipv6
[05:06] <mutante> Apachez: probably because most people use USB flash drives to boot nowadays
[05:07] <Jordan_U> kevin125: You should not be using such an old kernel with btrfs.
[05:10] <caliculk> In that case, I can't just use link-local to verify. I need to verify outbound and inbound connectivity.
[05:10] <caliculk> That has to be with the public one, not the link local.
[05:11] <Jordan_U> kevin125: I wouldn't use btrfs with Ubuntu 14.04 at all, but at the very least you should be using a much more recent kernel (like the latest upstream stable kernel release) when using btrfs.
[05:13] <caliculk> I guess I should go to #networking or something like that for this convo?
[05:17] <Apachez> mutante: yeah but other shit like various games that noone plays comes along but not something useful as a burner software such as brasero!?
[05:17] <Apachez> I was hoping that I might have missed that it is included but obviously it isnt
[05:18] <Apachez> that is if you download the ubuntu 17.10 iso and create a bootable usb in order to burn things
[05:18] <Apachez> and whatelse
[05:23] <mutante> Apachez: afaict the packages are selected by popularity, results of http://popcon.ubuntu.com/
[05:24] <mutante> Apachez: is it a problem for you to just install brasero from the internet once install is finished?
[05:24] <mutante> you could make a DVD to get more packages on it
[05:49] <selocol> I used to have on the upper right corner of Fluxbox an icon that allowed me to change my input language from English to Chinese (so I can type in Chinese), but I turned off that icon, and now I can't find it anymore. How do I load it again?
[06:10] <Apachez> mutante: the problem was that I didnt have storage to install ubuntu on disk and install brasero and then create an iso out of this installation - all I had was the ubuntu 17.10 iso so I was hoping that burning software was already included when you use that iso as livecd but obivously not
[06:20] <mutante> Apachez: http://www.knoppix.org/   Knoppix is the first Linux Live CD that was around and apparently has Brasero on it
[06:23] <Loshki> knoppix also allowed you to boot off dvd, then remove the dvd, and use the burner to make other dvds. Is brasero still buggy? Can you get by with growisofs from the command line?
[06:42] <ducasse> Apachez: you can install software on the live cd, so you can run brasero there
[07:10] <certaindestiny> Hi all, I have ran into a strange issue with ubuntu 16.04. Whenever a network cable is present and link is up but no network connectivity is possible the GUI is not responding. There is no mouse. And 10 programs display crash messages
[07:10] <certaindestiny> Anybody have any idea why this is happening or where to look?
[07:10] <alkisg> Start with reporting the crash messages :)
[07:11] <alkisg> They will likely point to the underlying issue that then exposed some bug in those apps
[07:12] <doodieman> hi ther, i have set up a moodle on a ubuntu 16.04 with apache2. My Problem is, if i go to http://server it shows me the index with a moodle folder. if i click the moodlefolder, i get to my moodle startpage
[07:13] <doodieman> now, how do i get it, to show the startpage with the serveradress?
[07:16] <certaindestiny> @alkisg, I am unable to open the crash reports and dmesg does not indicate a problem except for the lack of network configuration. Can you point me in the right direction where the logging might be?
[07:17] <alkisg> certaindestiny: crash dumps go to /var/crash/*, you can report them even after reboot when you have net and no issues
[07:24] <certaindestiny> @alkisg, Apparently unity-settings-daemon crashed.
[07:24] <alkisg> certaindestiny: that could then cause several issues; start by reporting that one
[07:27] <certaindestiny> @alkisg, in the .crash i am unable to find a reason for the crash. only the core dump and procmaps. Do you know where the deamon normally logs to/
[07:28] <ducasse> certaindestiny: you can try ~/.xsession-errors
[07:29] <certaindestiny> @ducasse, Isnt that rewritten on every boot?
[07:30] <ducasse> certaindestiny: on gui login, i would think - just login to a console instead
[07:31] <thomas_> Hey guys, anyone here know how to configure wminput? I'm trying to use my uDraw gametablet with Ubuntu 16.10. I have gotten the pen to move the mouse, but the sensitivity seems to be so severe that moving the pen slightly moves the mouse across half of the screen.
[07:31] <ducasse> certaindestiny: (you don't need the @ before the nick on irc, it will actually prevent some clients from highlighting)
[07:32] <ducasse> thomas_: 16.10 is eol - you need to upgrade to a supported release
[07:32] <certaindestiny> ducasse, I am unable to switch terminals as the login hangs on the other ttys (sorry didnt know it was an issue)
[07:33] <thomas_> ducasse: ah.. okay, ty. it seems like yesterday that i upgraded though! i'll upgrade and come back
[07:34] <ducasse> certaindestiny: hmmm. which kernel are you on?
[07:34] <ducasse> thomas_: you are two releases behind :)
[07:34] <certaindestiny> 4.4.0-97-generic
[07:35] <ducasse> certaindestiny: ok, what kind of gpu and driver?
[07:35] <zautomata> no manpage for redis?
[07:35] <certaindestiny> nvidia GPU, Driver i believe is the legacy one. Let me check real quick
[07:36] <certaindestiny> nvidia-384/xenial
[07:37] <certaindestiny> ducasse, There are also older packages installed for the nvidia driver. might that pose an issue?
[07:38] <ducasse> certaindestiny: i'm not sure of that, tbh - i thought they conflicted so you could only install one at a time
[07:38] <ducasse> certaindestiny: have you tried installing the hwe stack?
[07:40] <certaindestiny> Ducasse, Sorry i am unfamiliar with hwe, What is it and how can we install?
[07:41] <ducasse> !hwe
[07:42] <aiena2> I need some help I have 2 interfaces one interface which provides internet access via USB and another interface a LAN card going to a switch (not router). I want all the traffic from the USB interface to be passed to the ethernet interface so other compputers on the network can access the internet over the switch and receive ip's from the DHCP USB router how do I do that?
[07:42] <ducasse> certaindestiny: it might help with the networking lockup thing you described. i can't be sure of that, of course, but it's an easy thing to test.
[07:43] <aiena2> I followed this https://serverfault.com/questions/431593/iptables-forwarding-between-two-interface the answer with 16 upvotes but it did not work.
[07:43] <certaindestiny> aiena2, Do you want to still use the pc or do you want to turn it into a dedicated router?
[07:43] <aiena2> certaindestiny: I want to use the PC as well as make it a router for the other PC's on the lan
[07:43] <aiena2> id it is possible
[07:43] <aiena2> *if
[07:44] <certaindestiny> aiena2, I have done so a couple of years ago with ip tables. However some networking knowledge is recommended
[07:45] <aiena2> certaindestiny: can you guide me I have some networking knowledge but I think this is more forwardinmg traffic because real routing is between two networks
[07:45] <aiena2> here there is only one network two interfaces
[07:45] <aiena2> the network is to be provided purely by the USB interface with it's DHCP giving LAN ip's
[07:45] <aiena2> the rest of the computers connect via the other interface to the PC
[07:46] <certaindestiny> aiena, If you want this to work you do need to have 2 sepperate subnets as the " router " wont know which interface to route traffic through
[07:46] <aiena2> ok then I have a problem
[07:46] <ducasse> aiena2: try asking in ##networking
[07:47] <aiena2> because the USB modem does not allw me to specify subnets
[07:47] <aiena2> or configure DHCP
[07:47] <aiena2> I'll try
[07:49] <certaindestiny> aiena, https://www.tecmint.com/setup-linux-as-router/ Try this. It focusses more on centos and doesnt do NAT but it might help you understand what is going on
[07:51] <certaindestiny> ducasse, I will try deinstalling the old drivers and updating to the latest hwe
[07:51] <ducasse> aiena2: be aware, many of those usb modems have magic in them that attempts to detect and block traffic coming from other computers
[07:52] <certaindestiny> aiena2, In that case you will niet to masquarade. I believe it is mentioned in the article aswell
[07:52] <aiena2> ducasse: this modem is an android device which provides wifi
[07:52] <certaindestiny> need*
[07:52] <aiena2> so it allows multiple computers to connect to it over wifi
[07:52] <aiena2> only it has no screen and stuff
[07:53] <certaindestiny> aiena2, you might want to look into pfsense if this is a more permanent solution and you have the ability to place hardware
[07:53] <aiena2> and does not allw you to change the local network or configure DHCP
[07:54] <aiena2> certaindestiny: this is a temporary solution my ISP has some cut wire and they wont be able to fix it for a day I need internet for computers for today
[07:54] <alkisg> aiena2: what's the output of `ip a` ?
[07:54] <alkisg> (while both networks are connected)
[07:55] <aiena2> alkisg: I had messed up with iptables a bit following a guide I will post here. WIll that affect this output?
[07:55] <ducasse> certaindestiny: try those things first, then report back if it doesn't work.
[07:55] <aiena2> alkisg: http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/3d702975 output of "ip a"
[07:55] <alkisg> aiena2: no
[07:57] <aiena2> alkisg:  'enxfcde56ff0106' is the USB interface the other one is 'enp3s0'
[07:57] <alkisg> aiena2: which ubuntu version is that?
[07:57] <certaindestiny> aiena2, I think it would be smart for you to draw the network and identify the interfaces/ip. assume that the device functions as a router with NAT/Masquarading enabled
[07:57] <aiena2> alkisg:  Ubuntu 16.04.3 but on kubuntu of it
[07:58] <alkisg> aiena2: network manager offers an option to set up a connection for internet sharing. Does it offer that in kubuntu as well?
[07:58] <aiena2> alkisg: running ' 4.4.0-97-generic' kernel
[07:58] <alkisg> New ethernet connection, and then in the connection editor, select the "internet sharing" option
[07:58] <aiena2> alkisg: it might because KDE uses networkmanager
[07:58] <alkisg> Try it
[07:58] <aiena2> how do I reset my iptables?
[07:59] <certaindestiny> iptables -F
[07:59] <alkisg> aiena2: e.g. this documents what i'm proposing: https://askubuntu.com/questions/691986/network-manager-shared-connection-and-manual-settings-of-the-interface
[07:59] <alkisg> (the gui way there)
[08:00] <alkisg> dnsmasq-base is preinstalled in ubuntu 16.04.3, no need to install it
[08:00] <aiena2> alkisg: I cannot find out how to do it with network manager
[08:00] <alkisg> Have a quick look at the picture in the article
[08:00] <alkisg> If kubuntu doesn't offer connection sharing, ok, do it with console
[08:03] <alkisg> aiena2 (if he comes back), https://nowardev.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/kubuntu-14-04-how-to-install-kubuntu-sharing-a-wifi-connection-with-another-computer/
[08:03] <alkisg> "Wired (shared)" it's called in Kubuntu
[08:08] <aiena2> alkisg: sorry iptable -F messed up something
[08:08] <alkisg> (11:03:45 πμ) alkisg: aiena2 (if he comes back), https://nowardev.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/kubuntu-14-04-how-to-install-kubuntu-sharing-a-wifi-connection-with-another-computer/
[08:08] <alkisg> (11:03:54 πμ) alkisg: "Wired (shared)" it's called in Kubuntu
[08:08] <alkisg> aiena2: so you have a GUI way to do it, no need to use a console
[08:09] <alkisg> Note that you'll have 2 different subnets, and your PC will temporarily be a dhcp server
[08:09] <alkisg> And masquerade the traffic to the phone
[08:11] <aiena2> alkisg: here both interfaces are on the same PC
[08:11] <aiena2> is it possible to do this shared thing on the same PC?
[08:12] <alkisg> aiena2: that's exactly what the article documents
[08:12] <aiena2> alkisg: but it is to another PC
[08:12] <alkisg> It has a wifi and a wired connection, and it's sharing the wired to "other pcs"
[08:12] <alkisg> You have a usb and a wired connection, and you want to share the wired to "other pcs"
[08:12] <alkisg> Exactly same thing
[08:13] <aiena2> I want to share the USB provided with the wired
[08:13] <alkisg> Yes
[08:13] <alkisg> As I said, same thing, please read the article
[08:13] <aiena2> so the USB is the long name
[08:13] <alkisg> Yes
[08:13] <alkisg> Read the article. :)
[08:13] <aiena2> and the wired is the short name
[08:13] <alkisg> Yes
[08:13] <alkisg> Read the article. :)
[08:14] <aiena2> I read it but am a bit confused
[08:14] <alkisg> OK, ask questions then
[08:14] <aiena2> so for the shred connection I still dont need to specify which interface
[08:14] <aiena2> shared
[08:14] <aiena2> or di Iset retricted to "wired interface name"
[08:14] <alkisg> You share the wired connection. That "share" actually means that "other pcs" will use it, and will get "your internet"
[08:14] <aiena2> *do I set restricted to
[08:14] <alkisg> They don't care how you get the internet
[08:15] <alkisg> You don't need to restrict to device, no
[08:15] <alkisg> ...as the screenshots there show
[08:15] <aiena2> alkisg: and that network isnt connected because I am connected to the USB one
[08:15] <alkisg> It doesn't matter
[08:16] <alkisg> It'll get a static ip and it'll become a dhcp server
[08:16] <aiena2> so now all other pc's will get the network over the wire let me try with another PC
[08:17] <certaindestiny> http://www.ciscopress.com/content/images/chap2_9781587133237/elementLinks/02fig03.jpg
[08:17] <certaindestiny> aiena2 you are basically building this. you kubuntu pc is the router
[08:17] <alkisg> The kubuntu pc is "s1" in the picture
[08:18] <alkisg> "r1" would be the phone
[08:18] <alkisg> Eh... not exactly, anyway...
[08:18] <aiena2> alkisg: not really R1 is my PC, R2 is the phone
[08:18] <alkisg> r2 is the ISP router
[08:18] <certaindestiny> correct.
[08:19] <certaindestiny> Like i said before. When you know what you wanne build you can build it ;)
[08:19] <aiena2> USB is port is the S/0/0/0 and the enthernet port on my PC is G0/0 of R1, R2 gives DHCP
[08:19] <alkisg> There are 3 subnets involved, they don't all show up in that example diagram
[08:19] <certaindestiny> aiena2, in your case R1 is also giving dhcp
[08:19] <alkisg> internal subnet for wired, internet facing subnet for phone, and the external, internet ip of the phone
[08:20] <aiena2> certaindestiny: hmm R1 being my PC should give DHCP from only R2
[08:20] <aiena2> it receives an IP from R2 too
[08:20] <alkisg> Anyways I think you're making a simple GUI-matter complex now :)
[08:20] <certaindestiny> aiena2, now as you need 2 different subnets for a router to work
[08:21] <aiena2> SO I need G0/0 to be on a different network than S/0/0/0 na droute from S0/0/0 to G0/0 that is typically how it would be done
[08:22] <aiena2> I dont understnad hw the PC will give DHCP unless I make it a router
[08:23] <aiena2> I want my PC to be more like a switch
[08:23] <aiena2> with the USB and the ethenet NIC as ports
[08:23] <aiena2> alkisg: I set up the shared wired connection
[08:24] <Torm> Hello.
[08:24] <aiena2> the other PC is not reciecing the internet from this PC
[08:24] <aiena2> but will try later need to go for lunch
[08:24] <Torm> I'm having some trouble reinstalling ubuntu. Have tried trice already today, but it doesen't boot
[08:28] <alkisg> aiena2: what's the output of `ip a` now? Also, on the other PCs, check, did they get an IP?
[08:28] <Torm> Anyone able to help me with my instalaton problem?
[08:30] <Torm> *installation
[08:32] <Zborg> when it comes to copying a bunch of files to a drive and then unmounting (for example, mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdcard; cp -a foo /media/sdcard/; umount /dev/sdb1) will using the 'sync' mount option really make things much slower?
[08:32] <certaindestiny> torm, Are you seeing grub when booting?
[08:33] <Torm> Jup, but as soon as i try to boot it gets stuck. Like i said, i have tried to reinstall it several time after i broke it a couple days ago, but it doesen't want to boot
[08:34] <certaindestiny> Is there a message on the screen when you boot?
[08:35] <Torm> Nope, it just gets stuck on the ubuntu logo, or the blank orange screen before it
[08:36] <certaindestiny> When you pres ctrl+alt f1 or f2 are you able to see logging?
[08:36] <Torm> ill check
[08:38] <certaindestiny> Also there are a few "failsafes" on boot which might take up to 15 minutes dending on configuration and packages installed. it might be able to boot when you wait 15 minutes
[08:39] <certaindestiny> ducasse, I am still having issues with GUI
[08:39] <certaindestiny> updating did not fix it :(
[08:41] <thomas_> I'm back. Does anyone here have experience with wminput? I'm trying to use my uDraw tablet, but the pen is extremely sensitive with the config I'm using. The left mouse button will also need to be "inverted" (Press it when the button on the pen is not pressed, vice versa)
[08:42] <thomas_> Here's my config: https://hastebin.com/asakixodiz.php
[08:42] <thomas_> Wait, let me paste it to the actual paste thing (Just caught a glimpse of the topic), sorry
[08:43] <thomas_> Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25828896/ (Sorry for this unintentional spam.)
[08:51] <mircx1> Hello i want ask something please this install libreadline6-dev for java?
[09:01] <roxlu> Hi! Does someone know how I can make sure my PC cannot make any connections to a specific IP address?
[09:02] <ikonia> ufw
[09:05] <roxlu> Oh sorry ikonia, with iptables
[09:06] <ikonia> ufw is a front end to iptables
[09:06] <roxlu> Do I use: iptables -D INPUT -s IP.ADDRESS -j DROP ?
[09:06] <ikonia> if you want specific iptables rules help the #netfilter channel can help
[09:06] <roxlu> ah thanks

[09:34] <papyrcat> after I install Ubuntu via nomodeset how do I get my gpu functioning properly so I can actually use the OS?
[09:35] <Ben64> depends on the gpu, probably just by installing the correct driver
[09:35] <hateball> papyrcat: hold shift to get to grub to append nomodeset again, then install the restricted driver
[09:35] <hateball> papyrcat: either via gui or a "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall"
[09:36] <papyrcat> "restricted" driver? and what will that install? the mesa ones, or the amdgpu-pro ones, orr something else entirely?
[09:45] <welcomeparty> hey guys, how can i know that RHEL is using proxy connection? My initial
[09:45] <welcomeparty>                       analysis was to check whether environment variable is set up already, by
[09:51] <papyrcat> for a dudal boot, do I need to shrink Windows before running the Ubuntu installer?
[09:51] <papyrcat> dual*
[09:54] <auronandace> papyrcat: usually it is best to shrink windows partitions with tools native to windows but gparted and the partitioning segment in the ubuntu installer can be used also
[09:56] <papyrcat> auronandace how much space should I set aside for root? 20GB-ish?
[09:56] <auronandace> papyrcat: entirely depends on what you plan to do with ubuntu
[09:57] <auronandace> papyrcat: if you are hosting loads of VM's then you'll find 20gb very limiting
[09:57] <papyrcat> but if it's mainly going to be gaming/music production...?
[09:58] <auronandace> papyrcat: if you are just using ubuntu for browsing the internet and listening to music, watching movies then 20gb should be fine (especially if you have a separate storage partition)
[09:58] <papyrcat> i've got a 2TB HDD
[09:59] <papyrcat> and a 256GB SSD i'm splitting with windows
[09:59] <papyrcat> I was planning on giving Ubuntu around 100-120GB of it, with 20 for root and the rest for /home
[09:59] <auronandace> papyrcat: games can be quite big and movie/music production can take quite some space
[09:59] <papyrcat> unless there's not a separate /home partition and i'm just getting confused
[10:00] <auronandace> papyrcat: you can have a separate /home partition if you want (i only tend to use a root partition)
[10:00] <papyrcat> i'll likely go with whatever the default is, i don't particularly need a separate /home, I think
[10:01] <papyrcat> that makes it easier, then I can just un-allocate 120gb-ish for /root and be good to go?
[10:01] <auronandace> papyrcat: in that case 100gb should be fine, that is what i use for my laptop installation and i do a tiny bit of video editing on rare occasion
[10:01] <papyrcat> i think that should be enough for a few games at a time and a pile of VSTs and such
[10:02] <papyrcat> not much more I can give with a 256gb ssd
[10:03] <papyrcat> auronandace do you know which drivers "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" installs, as far as GPU goes?
[10:03] <auronandace> papyrcat: by default it tries to use the open source drivers but you can change that later
[10:03] <auronandace> papyrcat: depends on your card
[10:04] <papyrcat> my 390 is a pain, i can't even run the installer without nomodeset so i'm worried about finding the right drivers after boot
[10:04] <papyrcat> i probably need the mesa ones
[10:04] <papyrcat> but if those are the ones its trying to use for the installer and it's not working...i dunno :s
[10:05] <Samy__> hi, I am configuring ubuntu server, ping <IP_ADDRESS> is working but I am not able to ping google.com neither sudo apt-get update works
[10:05] <Samy__> I have connected to ethernet and configured the connection.
[10:05] <ikevin> check your dns server settings
[10:05] <certaindestiny> samy__ check dns config
[10:06] <certaindestiny> samy__ https://askubuntu.com/questions/346838/how-do-i-configure-my-dns-settings-in-ubuntu-server
[10:07] <Samy__> certaindestiny: already did this, both up and down works, I have the same setting, I have dns <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/network/interfaces also
[10:07] <Samy__> a normal ping works and I am able to connect when I go to try ubuntu in simple internet also
[10:08] <certaindestiny> Can you send your interfaces file using pastebin?
[10:08] <ikevin> if simple ping work and domain name not working, it's a dns issue
[10:08] <certaindestiny> ikevin Could be a firewall not allowing edns0
[10:09] <ikevin> certaindestiny, yes, so a dns issue at firewall level
[10:09] <Samy__> ikevin: certaindestiny its not a firewal issue as net works in try ubuntu on simple ubuntu
[10:09] <Samy__> for dns what can be the issue?
[10:10] <ikevin> Samy__, try (as tem solution): echo "namserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf
[10:10] <ikevin> temp*
[10:10] <ikevin> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>*
[10:10] <certaindestiny> Samy__ Please send us your interfaces configuration. You can also try to use dig +tcp google.com and see if that works
[10:10] <Samy__> ikevin: already did that didnt work
[10:15] <certaindestiny> or try dig google.com @<IP_ADDRESS>
[10:15] <Samy__> certaindestiny: https://pastebin.com/WZSazjg2
[10:16] <certaindestiny> dns-nameservers X.X.X.X
[10:16] <certaindestiny> Please change the config and reboot the networking service
[10:16] <Samy__> certaindestiny: chanding dns to dns-nameservers or adding this?
[10:17] <certaindestiny> changing
[10:17] <certaindestiny> dns 1 and dns 2 is rhel config
[10:19] <Samy__> certaindestiny: I also have auto lo iface lo inet loopback should I remove it?
[10:19] <klemax> hello.
[10:20] <certaindestiny> no. Please follow the article i sent you. It list all the options
[10:20] <klemax> I have been seeing this log for long time in syslog: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25829423/
[10:20] <certaindestiny> klemax Hello
[10:20] <klemax> because of it, the system has been freezing..
[10:21] <klemax> how to fix it?
[10:21] <certaindestiny> klemax, Which release are you running?
[10:21] <Samy__> certaindestiny: doesnt help, I get unkown host now only <IP_ADDRESS> works
[10:22] <certaindestiny> have you restarted the network service?
[10:22] <certaindestiny> service network restart
[10:22] <klemax> certaindestiny: ubuntu 17.10
[10:23] <klemax> certaindestiny: it fails after sleeping.
[10:23] <Samy__> certaindestiny: networking.service? It failed to restart :/
[10:23] <certaindestiny> Samy__ then config is not committed. You can also reboot the system
[10:24] <certaindestiny> klemax, I am seeing a couple of bugs with wpasup, Are you running latest version of the package?
[10:27] <Samy__> certaindestiny: still unkown host :/
[10:27] <certaindestiny> what happens when you use dig google.com @<IP_ADDRESS>
[10:28] <Samy__> certaindestiny: connection timed out:  no servers could be reached
[10:29] <ikevin> Samy__, and ping to <IP_ADDRESS> work?
[10:29] <Samy__> ikevin: yes
[10:29] <ikevin> Samy__, it's maybe your firewall that don't allow you to do external dns query
[10:29] <Samy__> ikevin: then how it works on try ubuntu?
[10:30] <Samy__> andsimilarly on other systems
[10:30] <ikevin> it use the same network interface?
[10:30] <Samy__> ikevin: yes
[10:30] <Samy__> :/
[10:30] <ikevin> don't they use dhcp settings from your router?
[10:32] <klemax> certaindestiny: I dont have any idea about what provides it.
[10:32] <ikevin> try this settings: https://pastebin.com/4kKdkP1W
[10:32] <klemax> which package provides wpasup?
[10:34] <Samy__> ikevin: only this much?
[10:34] <ikevin> klemax, aptitude why wpasupplicant
[10:35] <ikevin> Samy__, yes, this will tell system to ask for network settings using dhcp
[10:35] <Samy__> ikevin: dhcp is not present in the server install I suppose
[10:35] <Samy__> I hope that doesnt make a diff
[10:36] <ikevin> Samy__, in most case, dhcp is on the router where server is connected, by default, try ubuntu use dhcp
[10:36] <Samy__> ikevin: on ubuntu server when I tried dhcpcd it asked me to install it
[10:36] <ikevin> you can try "dhclient en01" to see if dhcp is availlable on your network
[10:37] <ikevin> dhcpd is the dhcp server, dhcp client is installed by default
[10:37] <certaindestiny> samy__ if the command above failed i would check the firewall. most likely it does not allow dns or port 53 to be accessed by your server.
[10:38] <certaindestiny> Perhaps your organisation prefers you use a company owned DNS server
[10:38] <Samy__> certaindestiny: but all other systems work :/
[10:38] <ikevin> +1, disallowing external dns request is a good way to filter internet :(
[10:38] <klemax> certaindestiny: after switching from systemd-resolver to unbound has triggered that bug.
[10:39] <ikevin> Samy__, try dhcp
[10:40] <Samy__> ikevin: ah that worked
[10:41] <Samy__> what was I doing wrong
[10:41] <Samy__> thanks btw :)
[10:41] <ikevin> :)
[10:41] <ikevin> you welcome
[11:01] <neurre> hi
[11:01] <neurre> so is apt build-dep supposed to work?
[11:02] <tomreyn> all software is supposed to work the way it was designed. all software can have bugs.
[11:03] <geirha> neurre: yes, works for me
[11:03] <neurre> after fresh install of 16.04 or 17.10, source.list is not working by default
[11:04] <neurre> so one gets "E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list"
[11:04] <tomreyn> so do that and it will work
[11:04] <tomreyn> you can use the GUI to do it
[11:04] <tomreyn> with a click on a tickbox
[11:05] <neurre> what do i need to tick?
[11:05] <tomreyn> run /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
[11:06] <tomreyn> click on "source code"
[11:06] <tomreyn> this GUI is also available as "Software & Updates" from your system settings menu
[11:21] <BluesKaj> hey folks
[11:23] <klemax> How can i disable auto-mounting for internal devices especially ntfs part?
[11:23] <sorin-mihai> i want to use a qemu/kvm/libvirt VM as "workstation" and at the same time still have access in a host tty. the system is setup with ubuntu 16.04.03 as virtualization host. is it possible redirect to the system's video card to that VM's and then have the VM's screen shown on the monitor attached to the host?
[11:25] <cpaelzer> sorin-mihai: if you pass through a graphics card and use it in the guest the output will come out of those cards plugs
[11:26] <cpaelzer> sorin-mihai: you might be able to use the mostly available on chip graphic for the host, then pass the card to the guest - and on your monitor connect both to switch there e.g. one HDMI one via DP
[11:26] <cpaelzer> would that work for you?
[11:26] <alkisg> sorin-mihai: you can "attach" one usb keyboard to the VM and have another usb keyboard outside the VM, that way it'll work fine without passing through cards
[11:26] <alkisg> I.e. you'll be able to type with 2 keyboards in 2 places without changing focus
[11:31] <gangreln> anyone knows any radio automation software for ubuntu?

[13:32] <mfoo> Is there a good place to ask about USNs? https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2232-1/ references a CVE-2014-0224 relating to openssl. The link on the CVE text heads to https://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-0221. The description says that "and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1h", but it seems the package with the fix is 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.2. Is this correct? I currently have 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.22 and my openssl reports itself as OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014, but the USN

[13:36] <oerheks> this one should be patched too
[13:37] <oerheks> the numbering is different when it is backported, i think it is correct.
[13:38] <mfoo> Might there be a link I can check out containing the merge? Or a release notes for this version of the package?

[13:59] <Fayn> hello. Is it possible to remove Alt-§ shortcut in ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I want this combination to  do something else, not to show window list
[13:59] <Fayn> Unity desktop
[14:00] <EriC^^> Fayn: what's that? S ?
[14:00] <EriC^^> you mean alt + tab?
[14:01] <Fayn> Button between Tab and Esc

[14:05] <Fayn> EriC^^: i guess it's layout specific, in my keyboard tilde is near Enter :D
[14:06] <EriC^^> Fayn: oh i see

[14:19] <indistylo> Not able to make bootable pendrive, I am trying to create debian stretch lts bootable usb from Ubuntu via bash terminal, its not able to format the pendrive and mount it, more details here http://paste.ubuntu.com/25830584/
[14:21] <akik> indistylo: you can write it to your usb stick with "sudo dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1024k; sync"
[14:23] <indistylo> akik, I already used this : "sudo dd if=/home/aruns/debian-9.2.1-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/sdb
[14:23] <indistylo> "
[14:24] <akik> indistylo: ok it's done
[14:24] <galileopy> hello!! I just got a usb-c to hdmi display adapter, however I don't what should I install to make it work, when plugged udev just tells me that's a hidraw device
[14:24] <akik> indistylo: why do you run mkdosfs in your paste?
[14:25] <galileopy> I just installed the displaylink drivers, I'll restart and join back to this channel
[14:26] <indistylo> there was some size problem so I stopped/kill the {ctrl+C} in between , then inserted big size pendrive and tried to format it, no getting this error message, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25830632/
[14:26] <akik> indistylo: for your use case, there's no need to mkdosfs anything. just write the iso on the usb
[14:33] <Fayn> EriC^^: I followed https://askubuntu.com/a/466403 and rebooted but this still shows with shortcut: https://imgur.com/JLuAqgs. dconf value is ['disabled'], ccsm also says disabled :(
[14:33] <EriC^^> Fayn: disabled means it's using alt+~ , try setting it to something else
[14:34] <Fayn> oh i see. trying it.
[14:34] <indistylo> akik, Yes its not required
[14:53] <dkdmn> can ubuntu be installed onto SD-Card?
[14:54] <bcowan> Sure if your bios/efi supports booting from there
[14:55] <indistylo> any inputs please, I tried this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25830771/ , How can I format pendrive via terminal and then do dd if=path_to_image of=path_to_usb
[14:55] <bcowan> Won’t be the fastest install on the planet
[14:56] <akik> indistylo: 1) umount every partition that you have mounted off your usb stick 2) use the sudo dd command i pasted earlier 3) ??? 4) PROFIT
[14:57] <bcowan> Yeah I don’t know why he’s doing all the formatting
[14:57] <akik> indistylo: once you have written the iso on the usb stick, it's ready to be used
[14:58] <dkdmn> can I clone the existing system to a card?
[14:59] <akik> indistylo: fyi, always before creating a file system on a partition, umount it first
[14:59] <bcowan> dkdmn: yeah, but you’re gonna have to change the fstab and redo grub

[15:09] <skinux> How do we save a screenshot? I've had screen flash three times now, but nothing in the clipboard
[15:10] <MrCrackPotBuilde> skinux it normally just pops up a new window asking if you want to saave or delete or copy to clipboard
[15:11] <MrCrackPotBuilde> im on 16.04 and the new window is from gnome-screenshot
[15:12] <skinux> Well, it's not doing that
[15:13] <GladiaTeur> Hello there guys i just upgraded from ubuntu 16.04 to 17.04 and then upgraded to 17.10 i fixed all errors i faced now i only have a problem with dock it's not showing and on setting dock is empty
[15:15] <skinux> OKay. I got the screenshot. Now can someone help me with why the panel screws up with app icons? Look at the first app icon and you'll see what I mean. https://imgur.com/a/bxh7f
[15:17] <MacroMan> How can I reset my ca-certificates back to the defaults? I added a snakeoil cert at some point which is causing me problems, but I can't find it.
[15:17] <|Night|> check in /etc/ssl/private/
[15:18] <skinux> Also, is Brasero's Burn Several Files feature known to work well?
[15:18] <tomreyn> to reset ca-certificates to defaults, i guess the easiest is to: sudo apt-get purge ca-certificates; sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
[15:19] <tomreyn> this may not remove certificates you have installed in or below /etc/ssl though
[15:26] <indistylo> akik, got it ok
[15:26] <Fayn> apparently there is bug with Unity that makes Alt+Above_Tab shortcut to not work at all. Might as well switch to Ubuntu Mate then. Only reason i switched from Arch was good support for AMDGPU-PRO either way
[15:27] <alkisg> tomreyn: sudo apt-get purge ca-certificates ==> removes a whole lot of packages, that won't be reinstalled when you reinstall ca-certificates
[15:29] <tomreyn> good point, dpkg --purge then
[15:43] <malkauns> how do i get rid of nvidia screen tearing in 17.04?
[15:45] <skinux> Does 16.04.3 have the Gnome desktop that Ubuntu switched back to?
[15:45] <leftyfb> malkauns: I don't have the answer for you, but do you know 17.04 is only supported till January?
[15:45] <skinux> I assume they just went back to the standard Gnome?
[15:45] <leftyfb> skinux: not really. You can install gnome shell, but not what has been developed/modified by Canonical in 17.10.
[15:46] <leftyfb> skinux: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/install-gnome-3-20-ubuntu-16-04-lts
[15:47] <leftyfb> skinux: you can just install gnome-shell from 16.04. Though it'll be a bit outdated I think.
[15:48] <leftyfb> looks like that might be your only option actually. The ppa that link suggests says: "This PPA is no longer updated for releases older than Ubuntu 17.04. If you are using an older release, please ppa-purge this PPA and consider upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release."
[15:49] <leftyfb> skinux: the gnome-shell package in 16.04 seems to be more up to date than that ppa anyway
[15:50] <skinux> Why would they use an older version to create their new desktop??
[15:51] <leftyfb> huh?
[15:51] <leftyfb> skinux: the version available in 16.04 is 3.18. The one in 17.10 is 3.26. which is the latest
[15:52] <skinux> Okay.
[15:52] <akik> it's really going to be strange to support 16.04 until 2021 with unity
[15:52] <skinux> Well, I think I have shell installed on 16.04.3 already
[15:54] <akik> and if you can't get the ubuntu customized gnome 3 installed in 16.04 at all
[15:54] <chudak> I installed fresh 16.04 on headless NUC and connect to it via ssh and x11vnc, via x11vnc the desktop respond is very slow, I can see windows being redrawn, not sure what's wrong, any help please ?
[15:55] <leftyfb> akik: IMO people shouldn't be running 16.04 on a desktop past next April
[15:55] <leftyfb> akik: for server, the desktop of course doesn't matter
[15:56] <akik> leftyfb: it will be supported on the desktop anyway, right?
[15:56] <chudak> what would you suggest instead ?
[15:56] <leftyfb> chudak: wifi issues?
[15:56] <leftyfb> akik: yep
[15:56] <akik> leftyfb: why do you say it shouldn't be used?
[15:56] <chudak> leftyfb: no I turned off wifi and wire now
[15:56] <leftyfb> akik: because the next LTS release will be out by then. Time to upgrade :)
[15:58] <oerheks> leftyfb, stable users upgrade when 18.04.1 comes out, so your story does not fit the reality
[15:59] <NginUS> can't get qdbus commands to execute in a bash script but they're fine pasted into a terminal line by line- Google-ing for an hour now with nothing... anyone good at this?
[15:59] <leftyfb> oerheks: how does that differ from what I'm saying? I'm saying, come April, people should upgrade to 18.04. Then there shouldn't be people running 16.04 till 2021. This is of course my opinion on how it SHOULD work.
[16:00] <leftyfb> NginUS: try !#/bin/bash -x as your interpreter and watch and see where/why it fails
[16:00] <chudak> anybody has seen this slowness and knows how to fix? I am about ti try reinstalling again :(
[16:00] <NginUS> leftyfb: Never heard of that- there is hope!
[16:01] <akik> it's hash bang i.e. #!
[16:02] <leftyfb> oops
[16:02] <leftyfb> akik: my bad
[16:02] <NginUS> akik: I do that all the time, have to pull up an old one to c/p, lol
[16:02] <leftyfb> NginUS: ^
[16:04] <pavlos> chudak: you could install iperf on both systems and measure network speed between the 2
[16:05] <chudak> pavlos: what would it tell me?  ssh is very fast and all other systems also good
[16:06] <NginUS> leftyfb: no difference. looks like it hangs on a qdbus command
[16:06] <NginUS> same command i can paste into bash & no problems
[16:07] <pavlos> chudak: I get 16.4 Mbits/sec, my local net is 100 Mbps
[16:09] <chudak> I wonder if there is a way to disable windows animation?
[16:09] <chudak> they look like zooming in and out
[16:19] <Jordan_U> kevin125: Did you see my message to you about your btrfs issues?
[16:29] <chudak> the problem seems to be related to connected and disconnected monitor, in headless mode system is very slow
[16:31] <leftyfb> chudak: maybe it's due to the resolution set during headless mode?
[16:32] <leftyfb> maybe see if you can force the resolution in x11vnc
[16:33] <GladiaTeur> Hello there guys i noticed that unity tweak tool is not working on ubuntu 17.10 is there any way to let it work or how to? if not let me know if i have to remove it!!
[16:33] <akik> chudak: if you want a lighter remote desktop setup, i'd suggest x2go. it's not in ubuntu repositories but easily installable anyhow
[16:33] <chudak> no it used to run fast before I rebuilt, its probably something related to video driver, but not sure

[16:36] <Jordan_U> GladiaTeur: Unity is not used by default in Ubuntu 17.10, istead you get a Unity-like gnome session.
[16:37] <GladiaTeur> Jordan_U: What you by instead you get a unity-like gnome session?
[16:37] <akik> GladiaTeur: there's also gnome-tweak-tool
[16:37] <Jordan_U> GladiaTeur: They've modified Gnome-shell to look and act like Unity.
[16:38] <GladiaTeur> akik: is it has options and interface like unity tweak tool one?
[16:39] <akik> GladiaTeur: not sure but try i
[16:39] <akik> it
[16:39] <scatterp> hi i dont know a better place to ask... my vps provider is not really supporting me on the issue basiclly i have a 300gb ssd 12gb of ram and 8mb of video ram available to me via the default vnc settings (cirrus card) i am looking for a way to get a much higher resoloution maybe making use of the 12gb of ram on the system or something like vnc or somehow passing arguments to qemu via a custom
[16:39] <scatterp> bios does any one have a suggestion ? ceheteh said scatterp: since its a vps, do you really need hardware display emulated? running some remote display server may just work out of the box, vnc, xpra, rdp or alike : i tried his idea and it does not work out of the box i understand from stack exchange that this should work if i "unplug the monitor" but i am not sure how to do this from the command
[16:39] <scatterp> line...
[16:39] <GladiaTeur> Jordan_U: I see but there is some options that i need in unity tweak tool do gnome tweak tol works with it?
[16:39] <akik> galeido: unity and gnome are two totally different desktops
[16:41] <GladiaTeur> akik: yep i'll try gnome tweak tool
[16:41] <Jordan_U> GladiaTeur: It's a different tool, for configuring a different piece of software. The options and interface to change them will be different. Only you know what options you specifically need.
[16:42] <akik> galeido: there's also dconf-editor which you might run into. it can be used to change gnome settings
[16:42] <alkisg> scatterp: x2go creates a virtual monitor that matches your client (e.g. even windows) monitor, so it's completely unrelated to the emulated cirrus
[16:42] <akik> i meant GladiaTeur
[16:43] <scatterp> alkisg ok so i install x2go then what ?
[16:43] <alkisg> scatterp: you install x2goserver on the server and x2goclient on some client, and connect. That's all.
[16:44] <alkisg> scatterp: when you resize the client window, the "virtual screen" will resize to fit the window, so you won't be limited by cirrus at all
[16:44] <scatterp> alkisg ok is there windows/mac client for that ?
[16:44] <alkisg> scatterp: yes, google x2go and follow instructions from their site
[16:45] <scatterp> alkisg if i resize it to 1200x800 and then connect with teamviewer will i get the resolution the same ?
[16:45] <alkisg> Yes, but why use both teamviewer and x2go...
[16:45] <scatterp> will test this now be right back
[16:46] <alkisg> You'll need to start teamviewer from inside the x2go x display of course
[16:46] <codepython777> Is anyone good with the kernel usb system hanging in here (xhci/usb 3 connection issues). Here is my dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25831308/
[16:47] <robertf> Hello how are you?
[16:47] <scatterp> alkisg ok thanks will test now
[16:48] <robertf> I have network card realtek  rtl8111/8168/8411 what's the firmware to load it?
[16:49] <akik> robertf: do you get any output with "lsmod | grep rtl" ?
[16:50] <robertf> akik: no output
[16:51] <akik> robertf: most of the realtek drivers are for wifi and you have ethernet
[16:52] <GladiaTeur> I need the socondary click on icon to reduce the window
[16:52] <akik> robertf: here's somebody who's done it: https://unixblogger.com/2016/08/11/how-to-get-your-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-working-updated-guide/
[16:53] <akik> robertf: r8168-dkms seems to be the needed package
[16:55] <GladiaTeur> socondary click on icon to reduce the window available on unity tweak tool only that's so sad
[16:57] <robertf> akik: how to download it? xenial is installed
[16:59] <akik> robertf: it's laid out in that blog post
[17:00] <oaulakh> anyone have any idea why i just can't install mongodb? http://paste.ubuntu.com/25831390/
[17:04] <GladiaTeur> no idea?
[17:04] <jvelasquez> hi.  I have vm images listed in /var/lib/libvirt/images/,  but after a reboot of the host dom0, nothing listed in `virsh list`.  how do I start a guest?
[17:07] <arbitrarystring> virsh list --all
[17:07] <akik> GladiaTeur: try rephrasing your question
[17:08] <arbitrarystring> virsh start vmname
[17:12] <jvelasquez> arbitrarystring, thank you.
[17:19] <waltman> I was looking at some bugs I've reported, and some of them are over 6 months old with no action on them. It's pretty frustrating to submit bug reports and have nothing ever happen on them.
[17:20] <waltman> One of the bugs I reported for fail2ban would be literally just removing "imap3" from a config file.
[17:21] <wedgie> waltman: for things like that maybe it would be better to report it upstream... unless the problem is an ubuntu customization
[17:22] <waltman> This really sounds like an ubuntu problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fail2ban/+bug/1682864
[17:22] <waltman> wedgie: also for things like that, maybe the maintainer should reply to the bug reports saying that?
[17:23] <dkdmn> waltman: ubuntu is past its heyday. if your bug is applicable to those distrubutions, it is better to report it in debian or redhat trackers
[17:23] <wedgie> waltman: fair enough
[17:23] <waltman> Based on the latest release notes, this also sounds like a bug introduced by the downstream maintainer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apcupsd/+bug/1682696
[17:25] <waltman> Also I, as an end user, can't be expected to be able to judge whether a bug I'm seeing has been caused upstream or by the package maintainer's local changes.
[17:27] <scatterp> alkisg still working on it ... one sec
[17:27] <alkisg> waltman: is the setting your speak of in this file? https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/0.11/config/jail.conf
[17:28] <faqeer> hi
[17:29] <waltman> alkisg: Yes, I actually checked there earlier today. But that seems like something that clearly needs to be changed on the ubuntu end, because it might be getting used on another platform that still supports imap3.
[17:29] <scatterp> alkisg currently i get just a blank screen black trying to understand why..
[17:30] <alkisg> waltman: if it's used on some platforms and not on others, it should be generated (.in). I don't see why that would be ubuntu-specific. E.g. you could also file it in debian so that ubuntu "inherits" the fix, but it sounds like an upstream issue.
[17:30] <alkisg> waltman: don't expect all distributions and all derivatives to have maintainers for all packages
[17:30] <waltman> I don't think it's unreasonable to have someone respond to bug reports.
[17:30] <wedgie> alkisg: well, *someone* is creating that package...
[17:30] <alkisg> For the reasons you said, ubuntu devs propose that you use launchpad. After 10 years in Ubuntu, I know that in 90% of the cases this is *NOT* helpful... :/
[17:31] <alkisg> Bugs should best be filed against the maintainer of the exact line of code that causes the issue...
[17:31] <waltman> So all those bug reports for fail2ban on debian are just going to sit there forever?
[17:32] <waltman> My bug reports are all on launchpad.
[17:32] <alkisg> It depends on who the maintainer is, how active he is, how "ready" the bugs are (e.g.if they include a .patch etc)...
[17:35] <NginUS> My script won't run commands past this one point. But if I put those commands in another script & call it from the first one before it hangs (with sleep 10 so it's on time), those commands will run. amarok --debug only gives me this one useless line
[17:35] <waltman> If bug reports are going to sit for months or years at a time without even getting their status changed to "confirmed", what's the point of even having it? I feel like the time I spent filing those reports was wasted.
[17:35] <alkisg> There's the 10% where it's helpful to file bugs on launchpad
[17:36] <alkisg> Some projects have their code hosted in launchpad, it's upstream for them
[17:36] <alkisg> Some things are actually ubuntu-specific, in debian/patches of the  ubuntu package
[17:36] <waltman> so you're telling me that 90% of the time it's a waste?
[17:36] <alkisg> Some things are unclear where they belong, and they should be reported in launchpad first, and forwarded later as the maintainers direct
[17:36] <alkisg> That's my experience. I don't think any Ubuntu dev will admit that though.
[17:37] <alkisg> To me, it's a waste of user and developer resources, as they are directed to wrong places
[17:37] <waltman> And what if the maintainers don't even acknowledge the bug reports?
[17:37] <alkisg> What if there are no ubuntu maintainers?
[17:37] <alkisg> From 50000 packages, I don't think more than 1000 have active ubuntu maintainers
[17:37] <waltman> How can I tell?
[17:37] <alkisg> It's best to try to locate where to file the bug. If you don't know, use launchpad
[17:38] <alkisg> If you go to github and find the line in the .conf, use github, the upstream bug tracker
[17:38] <linux_user> How does one request that a new variant of software be built for an Ubuntu package?
[17:38] <scatterp> alkisg i am just getting a black screen i think ineed to install kde or something specific will try that
[17:38] <linux_user> (say for Hercules S390 emulator)
[17:38] <eelstrebor> is there any advantage to using click? looks like it's a security feature?
[17:39] <alkisg> scatterp: it allows for running a specific command, session, even xterm
[17:39] <alkisg> scatterp: they have a wiki page with extensive information
[17:39] <scatterp> alkisg i tried with a terminal but no luck
[17:40] <waltman> is launchpad just for ubuntu, or is it also used by debian?
[17:40] <oerheks> !sru | linux_user see this manual for request a package
[17:40] <wedgie> waltman: i have no idea what the process is, but maybe look into becoming the maintainer for fail2ban. Not sure if you have the time, skills, or desire for that, but it would be one way to solve the delimma for that one package at leaset
[17:40] <alkisg> waltman: launchpad is not used by "debian". It is used by some upstream packages though, that are also shipped in debian. So in some cases it's an upstream bug tracker.
[17:41] <alkisg> For example, we develop ltsp in  launchpad, and then distros like debian, ubuntu, opensuse etc ship it. So we want the bugs to be reported in launchpad, as we don't use e.g. github or anything else.
[17:41] <waltman> I guess I assumed that these packages all had maintainers, and that they would see the bug reports filed against them on launchpad. If that's not the case, I'm not really seeing the point of launchpad.
[17:42] <alkisg> waltman: read the 3 reasons I listed above why launchpad is useful
[17:42] <waltman> Is this relationship documented anywhere?
[17:42] <alkisg> The bad thing is that people don't realize what you just said, that it's not for *everything*, and waste time for actions that shouldn't happen there
[17:42] <akik> waltman: it's not specific to ubuntu. my bug report for docker-ce got the same treatment
[17:42] <oerheks> waltman, you could help the team, lots of simular issues https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apcupsd/+bugs >>> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apcupsd/+bug/660816
[17:43] <oerheks> so if you add those likely simular bugs to yours, it might help, check version numbers and such
[17:43] <dax> waltman: Launchpad is just for Ubuntu. Debian has their own bugtracker etc.
[17:43] <dax> waltman: some Debian folks keep an eye on Launchpad, but it's not an "official" thing
[17:43] <dax> (just like some upstreams do)
[17:44] <alkisg> dax: that's not true. I'm upstream for ltsp, and I accept upstream bugs in launchpad.
[17:44] <alkisg> Not everyone uses github
[17:44] <alkisg> Launchpad is (1) for some upstreams, (2) for some ubuntu packages, (3) for cases when we don't know where to start
[17:44] <dax> alkisg: the "just for Ubuntu" was in the context of their question "just for ubuntu, or is it also used by debian"
[17:45] <dax> I'm well aware that other projects use it too. Debian does not (officially), which was my point.
[17:45] <waltman> If the ubuntu-bug command lots to launchpad, it's not unreasonable to assume that launchpad is where bug reports go.
[17:45] <alkisg> dax, I think now waltman got to the other point, thinking that launchpad is useless, which clearly isn't
[17:45] <waltman> I think this relationship should be documented somewhere.
[17:45] <dax> waltman: Ubuntu maintainers should be forwarding bug reports or telling users how to do so after reviewing the bug report.
[17:46] <dax> The whole point of distros having their own bugtrackers is so that maintainers can make sure it's not some distro-specific change causing issues before sending users upstream
[17:46] <dax> since upstreams tend to get *very* annoyed about that sort of thing
[17:46] <alkisg> Indeed, but there aren't maintainers for all packages, or they don't have time for all bugs, which is why when someone knows it's an upstream bug, he should report it there
[17:46] <dax> that said, Ubuntu's QA and bug handling is... interesting at times
[17:47] <wedgie> the fali2ban bug that he linked doesn't look like an upstream issue
[17:50] <skinux> I installed the new Ubuntu Gnome desktop, now when I try to select Gnome desktop, that area of login disappears.
[17:50] <skinux> How do I configure that using a configuration file?
[17:53] <scatterp> alkisg i did sudo apt-get install lxde from ssh terminal and i have set the xgo to connect as a normal non root user lxde 800x600 with sound enabled is that correct ?
[17:55] <dongcarl> Just got an Ubuntu VPS, was wondering what the difference between admin and sudo group is in terms of convention. I wanna setup an account that can use sudo, and in Arch I'd normally place it in wheel, but it seems like the default sudoers file doesn't have wheel as a default line, I'm assuming it's a different convention/
[17:57] <dongcarl> Found the answer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Privileges#Use_sudo_to_administer_the_system
[17:57] <scatterp> alkisg "unable to execute startlxde" error i will try another windows manager...
[18:05] <skinux> When I try to select a different desktop environment, the area just goes blank dark grey. How do I fix this?
[18:08] <arnoud> Okey source is a a shell builtin. I am wondering how I can call: source .env from a crontab? It says source not found.
[18:11] <thepardoxer02> i have previously installed ubuntu with 14.04 version
[18:12] <thepardoxer02> with 32 bit, now i am updating my distro version to 16.04
[18:12] <thepardoxer02> will the updated version be of 64 bit or 32 bit ?
[18:12] <scatterp> alkisg "unable to execute startlxde" with lxde , with gnome it just closes says "session terminated" , with terminal i get "the connection with the remote server was shutdown please check the state of your connection" only with icewm do i get a screen i want to get the default ubutnu system i can run it via typeing lightdm with vnc ...
[18:14] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, it should upgrade properly to 32bit.  Is your computer actually 32bit?
[18:15] <thepardoxer02> nope i have 64 bit computer
[18:15] <thepardoxer02> but it support 32 bit too
[18:15] <Apachez> what about a 128 bit computer?
[18:16] <thepardoxer02> Apachez: asking me ?
[18:16] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, why run 32bit?  Are you low on RAM?
[18:16] <dax> Apachez: that isn't helpful
[18:17] <dax> thepardoxer02: if you are upgrading a 32-bit install, it will still be 32-bit after the upgrade. if you want it to be 64-bit, you would have to re-install
[18:17] <thepardoxer02> lordcirth_work: i was in urgent need of a distro to install in my computer, one of my friend has 32 bit so i installed it
[18:17] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, how much RAM do you have?
[18:17] <thepardoxer02> now i want to make it 64 bit
[18:18] <thepardoxer02> lordcirth_work: i have 8 gb of ram
[18:18] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, oh, then yes, you'll need to reinstall
[18:18] <thepardoxer02> lordcirth_work: can't i just update or upgrade ?
[18:18] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, no, you can't in-place upgrade from 32bit to 64
[18:19] <lordcirth_work> That's not an update, that's a complete architecture change
[18:19] <thepardoxer02> lordcirth_work: can i upgrade it without using bootable pendrive or any other media
[18:20] <thepardoxer02> just like running the setup
[18:20] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, you need some sort of media - you can in theory debootstrap or something into another partition, but I wouldn't
[18:21] <thepardoxer02> lordcirth_work: i found this https://askubuntu.com/questions/409584/upgrading-ubuntu-12-04-32-bit-to-64-bit
[18:22] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, yes, as they say, just reinstalling is simpler
[18:23] <alkisg> scatterp: I'm using it with mate, I only had to select mate in the options, nothing more
[18:23] <scatterp> alksig so install mate then try again ?
[18:25] <thepardoxer02> lordcirth_work: i have iso file, can i just mount it and install ?
[18:26] <Apachez> dax: technically an ubuntu installation should be able to switch over to 64bit
[18:26] <Apachez> arch=amd64
[18:26] <Apachez> dist-upgrade
[18:26] <Apachez> and reboot
[18:26] <dax> Apachez: lots of things are technically possible. significantly fewer things, including that, are supported or recommended.
[18:27] <dax> i've done my fair share of ridiculous apt things in my time, but i don't suggest them here
[18:28] <Apachez> of course its easier and probably less troublesome to start from beginning
[18:29] <Apachez> same with do-relase-upgrade vs wipe the drive and start over
[18:29] <dax> do-release-upgrade at least has the benefit of being officially supported, unlike arch changes :)
[18:30] <lordcirth_work> thepardoxer02, you have to boot the iso
[18:38] <skinux> What causes the desktop selector area to not come up??
[18:38] <scatterp> alksig mate seems to be running but i cant determine exactly the resolution it doesnt seem to be very high it says xrandr is to old ??
[18:42] <DigitalisAkujin> Can someone please tell me how to completely disable/remove apparmor?
[18:43] <leftyfb> nope
[18:44] <leftyfb> because you stuck around for exactly 13 seconds
[18:44] <rfleming> :|
[18:45] <dax> i like to think it's because they figured it out with Google *nod*
[18:45] <rfleming> more like 16
[18:45] <dax> makes me less annoyed
[18:45] <rfleming> btu yeah
[18:45] <compdoc> DigitalisAkujin, dont think apparmor is enabled by default
[18:45] <dax> it is, for some stuff
[18:45] <leftyfb> compdoc: the joke was, they left
[18:46] <compdoc> you need some new material
[18:47] <nbusrone> What is the best backup method to backup partition on a preinstall OS with oem partition ? 4 primary partition but exclude the OS.Only backup the bootloader + OEM partition , recovery partition another ?
[18:48] <compdoc> I use clonezilla. can clone to another drive, or to a network share
[18:48] <oerheks> try clonezilla, nice gui.
[18:49] <akik> what is oem partition?
[18:49] <nbusrone> some search recommend on backup using clonezilla ? But if I just wanted to backup 3 out of 4 partition , will I able to restore all 3 of them and even recover the OS from preinstall OS recovery ?
[18:51] <oerheks> no guarantee, you should ask that in the vendor or os channel
[18:51] <nbusrone> akik : healthy (OEM) partition or EISA Partition.It's preinstall from laptop manufacturer , an old windows vista OS.
[18:54] <lordcirth_work> nbusrone, ask on #clonezilla
[18:54] <nbusrone> I but hard , somehow it looks like already partition with 4 primary .I plan to backup 3 of them left out the OS which takes about over 100GB.So adding all 3 partition is just less than 40GB.Making sure after restoring from clonezilla , I am able to recovery back the OS where there's no OS disc and only came with recovery partition.
[18:54] <nbusrone> lordcirth_work: ok thanks :)
[18:59] <akik> nbusrone: i never learned to use those partitions. can you boot off them if your boot loader is broken?
[19:01] <alkisg> scatterp: run `xrandr` to see the resolutions, and `xrandr -s 1920x1080` to set them. Or, resize your window.
[19:01] <skinux> What do I do then the DE switcher won't show up?
[19:03] <scatterp> alkisg yes got it with that its a bit strange i run teamviewer and it says it has no internet and wants a proxy anyway it seems to work with a good resoloution i would like to understand how and why but my question now is how to get it to run the regular 16.04 ubuntu desktop...
[19:03] <akik> scatterp: it doesn't support unity
[19:04] <akik> scatterp: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat
[19:05] <leftyfb> skinux: desktop selector? You mean the little icon next to your name at the login screen?
[19:06] <skinux> Yeah, I click it and the login area turns into a dark blue background or something like that.
[19:06] <leftyfb> skinux: what DE's did you install?
[19:06] <skinux> I installed Gnome from PPA
[19:06] <leftyfb> which PPA?
[19:06] <skinux> For Gnome 3 to work on 16.04.3
[19:07] <leftyfb> skinux: yeah, which PPA?
[19:07] <skinux> Someone in here gave me a link maybe an hour ago
[19:07] <leftyfb> skinux: as I told you, gnome-shell is already included in Ubuntu and I did tell you NOT to use that PPA after the fact
[19:07] <skinux> Oh, I missed that then
[19:08] <leftyfb> skinux: you should ppa-purge that ppa you added
[19:09] <codelinx> question: what is a possibly recommended frontend to use to build a gui that can send commands to a linux box? any ideas …
[19:10] <ioria> codelinx,  details ?
[19:14] <codelinx> i actually need a webapp
[19:14] <codelinx> framework
[19:14] <limbo_> I can't get ethereumwallet to run on 17.10 on the GNOME DE. segfaults immedietly.
[19:14] <limbo_> It worked when I first tried it in unity.
[19:14] <codelinx> i want to produce a frontend interface to that has sudo or bin access to certain commands without having the user login to the systems
[19:14] <limbo_> any ideas?
[19:14] <codelinx> and send output to the webapp/page
[19:15] <nacc> codelinx: you want unautheticated root access to a system over the web??
[19:16] <nacc> limbo_: is that an ubuntu package?
[19:16] <scatterp> alkisg is says that the unity from 12.x ubuntu is supported but newer versions are not supported is there a way to install that supported version on 16.04 (i cant downgrade for other reasons)
[19:16] <scatterp> anyone else know how to install unity 12.x version on ubuntu 16.04 ?
[19:17] <limbo_> nacc: no, it's from a third party.
[19:17] <nacc> limbo_: i would contact said third party then
[19:17] <codelinx> nacc: not unauthenticated …. i.e. user clicks button that is [df -h] or they can type in something like (Text field)[cat /var/log/some/log.file | head -n50 ]
[19:18] <alkisg> scatterp: desktops that require 3d don't work well over the network. VNC would work, but again I don't think it would work on a virtual desktop, it would need the emulated cirrus.
[19:18] <codelinx> nacc: some of the commands will be sudo’ed some are regular commands …
[19:18] <nacc> codelinx: right "sudo'ed" how?
[19:18] <nacc> codelinx: also, it sounds like you're inventing tools that already exist
[19:18] <codelinx> give the webapp possible sudo access to limited commnds that can be access from a webpage ...
[19:19] <nacc> codelinx: so ... you *do* want to have unauthenticated root :)
[19:19] <limbo_> codelinx: you can use setuid on specific binaries, if you want. Or add the webserver user to the sydoers group.
[19:19] <limbo_> codelinx: both are probably bad ideas.
[19:20] <codelinx> limbo_: yea… i know i was wondering possibly if there was something more controlled.
[19:20] <akik> codelinx: use ssh keys for authentication and build on top of that
[19:20] <limbo_> codelinx: what do you want to do, specifically?
[19:21] <limbo_> what would the webserver user need root permissions for?
[19:21] <codelinx> limbo_: first allow the user to run specific commands and view output/logs of said command
[19:22] <skinux> Okay, I removed most of the packages from the PPA. Now I'm installing Ubuntu Studio, I figure it'll have Gnome.
[19:23] <limbo_> codelinx: can the webserver not run those binaries as is?
[19:23] <limbo_> codelinx: If it's a file access problem, you can modify your access control lists or the readability of the files.
[19:23] <codelinx> eventually we want the users to be able to pass commands
[19:25] <limbo_> commands?
[19:26] <limbo_> nacc: already did, zero assistance.
[19:26] <scatterp> alkisg will continue in the #x2go channel for now thanks for the help you really saved me thanks!
[19:26] <nacc> limbo_: well, presumably it's a bug in their code when on gnome or wayland
[19:26] <FrostCandy> Anyone lose DNS after latest update? :) 2 servers lots access to internet because of /etc/resolv.conf. I added nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> instead of what was there ( nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> ) but this isn't a permanent fix. Is there a better fix ?
[19:26] <scatterp> alkisg i was thinking unity from 12.x with unity-2d installed
[19:27] <skinux> Can anyone tell me if Gambas3 is worth learning? I mean is it really a nice and powerful language? Also does it fully support Windows?
[19:28] <FrostCandy> Ubuntu 17.04 - server version
[19:28] <nbusrone> ordcirth_work : the channel #clonezilla mention "This is not an official Clonezilla"
[19:28] <lordcirth_work> skinux, considering it's based on BASIC, my first thought would be "noooo"
[19:28] <lordcirth_work> nbusrone, yes.  But did they help?
[19:29] <codelinx> limbo_: lets say we have box a, box b, box r. I want the users to be able to see which processes are running. next I would like for users to get a list of execiutables they can access and. be able to run an exectuable from this web app without having to login to the systems directly. make sense kind of?
[19:30] <ioria> nope
[19:30] <lordcirth_work> codelinx, why do they need to run executables?
[19:31] <oerheks> without having to login to the systems directly .. magic?
[19:31] <codelinx> just an idea
[19:31] <lordcirth_work> codelinx, if you need them to be able to run bash commands, you should give them ssh keys.
[19:31] <codelinx> oerheks: the webapp will be their channel …
[19:31] <nacc> codelinx: i'm not convinced you're solving an actual problem :)
[19:32] <codelinx> nacc: you may be right :D
[19:32] <nbusrone> lordcirth_work : haven't tried  yet since I though it's not an official channel with less than 15 active user :(
[19:33] <lordcirth_work> nbusrone, well there's no harm in trying.  You could also try #windows
[19:38] <nbusrone> lordcirth_work : ok thanks again :)
[19:39] <Pomidora> I don't have an insert key or a middle mouse button... Is there a command I can use to paste from the x clipboard?
[19:41] <skinux> Okay. I got it fixed. Login into plain Gnome. Now, I gotta get used to desktop all over again.
[19:41] <skinux> Anyone know why they changed the menus to Activities, which just brings up a thin panel?
[19:42] <compdoc> sounds like a bare gnome desktop
[19:43] <oerheks> it is called activities for years, gnome3
[19:44] <compdoc> I install a minimal ubuntu server, then a minimal mate desktop and x2go. then use ubuntu and windows to log in. works great
[19:52] <chudak> can someone point me to reliable link ow to install "dummy" display drive under 16.04 ?
[19:52] <oerheks> xvfb
[19:56] <pennTeller> Hi guys, can anybody suggest a way of making native ubuntu programs that are touch? I would like to get as close to the metal as possible
[19:56] <akik> chudak: i saw this guide today here. it's for 14.04 but should work on 16.04 too https://askubuntu.com/questions/453109/add-fake-display-when-no-monitor-is-plugged-in/463000#463000
[19:58] <skinux> oerks: I haven't used the Gnome desktop for years. I was using Unity, switched to Cinnamon, and I just now changed back to Gnome.
[19:58] <nacc> pennTeller: "touch"? "metal"?
[19:59] <pennTeller> nacc, yes touch, as in using a touchscreen. Close to the metal I mean without to much overhead, ideally interacting directly with the OS
[19:59] <nacc> pennTeller: why should your app care if it's using the touchscreen or not? it's abstracted by the windowing system anyways to an input device
[20:01] <pennTeller> nacc, how would I do five-finger touch gestures with a mouse? Ideally, if you are making an app exclusively for touch, it should know about it.
[20:01] <chudak> akik: I did it twice and ubuntu won't boot up (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2322111) that's why asking
[20:01] <nacc> pennTeller: so you want an exclusive to touchscreen app?
[20:01] <pennTeller> nacc, yes exactly
[20:02] <nacc> pennTeller: that wasn't at all obvious to me from what you asked, sorry
[20:02] <pennTeller> nacc, my apologies
[20:02] <nacc> seems like a very narrow, not particularly useful to ubuntu thing (given the state of touchscreen on Linux)
[20:02] <nacc> pennTeller: but it does seem possible
[20:02] <akik> chudak: who are you on ubuntuforums? maybe you should wait for replies there
[20:02] <nacc> pennTeller: might want to talk to the desktop folks
[20:03] <pennTeller> nacc, thank you, I asked but no answer :(
[20:04] <nacc> pennTeller: yeah, it's also friday, etc
[20:04] <pennTeller> nacc, lol good point, thanks for answering I will keep sarching
[20:06] <pennTeller> In case anybody is wondering, it seems like Clutter is the answer
[20:06] <lordcirth_work> Pomidora, 'man xclip'
[20:06] <bumbar__> having trouble running mariadb on ubuntu 17.10, it's taking forever to (re)start, and if it does, it shuts down after a while
[20:10] <krypto_> does anyone know if it's possible to have nautilus always running? watching syslog it seems like gnome stops the service after a little while but i'd like it to persist.. any ideas?
[20:13] <nacc> krypto_: nautilus, the gui filesystem browser?
[20:15] <krypto_> nacc: right.. previously on Unity I'd be able to run nautilus -n at bootup (start hidden), the process would persist regardless if Files was open or not. In Gnome, it doesn't seem to have the similar behavior because dbus and gapplication-service are controlling it
[20:15] <nacc> krypto_: ah, i'm not sure, sorry
[20:16] <krypto_> nacc: no worries thx anyways
[20:16] <auronandace> krypto_: i think on unity Nautilus was used to control the desktop items so it would need to be running all the time anyway
[20:17] <krypto_> i see
[20:24] <rfleming> Anyone get LUKS and TPM to work yet?
[20:25] <rfleming> (work together)
[20:26] <john_rambo> How do I install package "hal" ? https://paste2.org/ef33BYJ0
[20:27] <nacc> john_rambo: what version of ubuntu?
[20:27] <nacc> john_rambo: it does not exist anymore in ubuntu
[20:27] <john_rambo> nacc: 16.04
[20:28] <john_rambo> nacc: 16.04 "Package hal is not available, but is referred to by another package" what is that another package ?
[20:29] <nacc> john_rambo: right
[20:29] <nacc> doesn't exist anymore
[20:29] <nacc> john_rambo: why do you need it?
[20:29] <john_rambo> nacc: to restore packages from aptoncd
[20:30] <nacc> john_rambo: i don't follow
[20:30] <nacc> john_rambo: you need hal for aptoncd to work?
[20:30] <john_rambo> nacc: Yes
[20:30] <arbitrarystring>  /quit
[20:30] <nacc> john_rambo: why is that hte case?
[20:31] <nacc> john_rambo: it's nont listed as a dependency
[20:34] <oerheks> HAL is gone since 10.04 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_(software)#Deprecated
[20:34] <robertf> thank you for your help ..... akik
[20:35] <akik> robertf: i wasn't actually sure what you meant to do :)
[20:38] <nacc> oerheks: yeah the package was still in 12.04, but nothing more recent
[20:47] <ZSky> Is npm installed by default on ubuntuN?
[20:47] <ZSky> *ubuntu
[20:47] <nacc> ZSky: no
[20:53] <jvelasquez> If I undefined VM's,  can I delete their images in /var/lib/libvirt/images ?
[20:54] <compdoc> jvelasquez, sure. make sure you dont want them
[20:54] <jvelasquez> ssweet. thank you.
[20:54] <compdoc> I store the images on seperate hdd/sdd drives
[20:55] <compdoc> you use virt-manager? you can delete them from the gui too
[20:58] <jvelasquez> compdoc, I havn't been able to run virt-manager yet.
[20:58] <jvelasquez> is there some reason why when I try to create a 30GB disk VM, I still only see 8.6GB ?
[21:00] <compdoc> depends on the type of file
[21:00] <compdoc> is it qcow2?
[21:00] <jvelasquez> I have no idea.
[21:01] <jvelasquez> yep.  QEMU QCOW Image (v3),<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes
[21:01] <auronandace> jvelasquez: some VM's are dynamically sized so it will only take up as much room as it needs
[21:01] <compdoc> you can use 'raw' if you want it to be 30GB of empty space
[21:01] <judohippo> is there a way to upgrade from 15.10 to 17.10?
[21:02] <auronandace> judohippo: 15.10 has been end of life for quite sometime now
[21:02] <judohippo> @auronandace yea...I've been neglectful
[21:03] <auronandace> judohippo: short answer is no, best install afresh
[21:03] <krypto_> unless you wanna be a regular around the irc channel i'd probably opt for a fresh install also
[21:04] <judohippo> nuts.
[21:04] <Bashing-om> !EOL | judohippo A long hard road time and bandwidth !
[21:04] <krypto_> you should definitely use clonezilla and make a nice clone of your current setup so you could restore if you ever have regrets
[21:06] <jvelasquez> compdoc,  wait.  if I use raw,  do I need an unparitioned space to put it on ?
[21:06] <jvelasquez> cause then I'd need to find more 2.5" brackets
[21:07] <compdoc> jvelasquez, no, it needs to be partitioned. id recommned ext4
[21:09] <fusa24> anyone else experiencing slow down using wayland in 17.10?  Xorg seems to be ok, but with wayland mouse cursor will freeze up for a second randomly
[21:10] <krypto_> fusa, have the same experience with wayland on 17.10 for months. games stutter lag and mouse input lag, still on Xorg for now
[21:11] <fusa24> ok
[21:11] <krypto_> i have an amd gpu though, not sure if related
[21:11] <fusa24> thanks, wasnt sure if its on my end or just compatability
[21:11] <fusa24> yeah mine is amd
[21:12] <akik> krypto_: there's a bug report about  it
[21:12] <krypto_> hmm, yeah. open source drivers?
[21:12] <fusa24> have you installed amdgpu drivers?
[21:12] <krypto_> ok good to know
[21:12] <fusa24> using open source drivers, amdgpu drivers give me problems at install
[21:13] <krypto_> are you using a PPA like padoka or oibaf?
[21:13] <fusa24> from dms website
[21:13] <fusa24> amd website
[21:14] <krypto_> yeah those are the proprietypppppp
[21:14] <krypto_> whoops
[21:14] <krypto_> proprietary drivers
[21:14] <fusa24> they will install but when i reboot, will see text from boot and mouse cursor, but cant interact
[21:16] <krypto_> you might be in an in-between state right now with your graphic drivers
[21:16] <fusa24> ok
[21:16] <akik> krypto_: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745032
[21:17] <krypto_> ah, yes that's my exact issue.. thanks
[21:19] <fusa24> looks same as my issue too
[21:20] <krypto_> reported back in 2015 lol
[21:20] <fusa24> :(
[21:33] <Jordan_U> Any recommendations for software for a school bell system? Just needs to play sounds (our school's PA system is connected to the computer) at the right times (to signal the beginning/end of blocks), and be configurable by less tech savvy people (so cron + mplayer is not a usable solution). Should be able to have 1 schedule for Monday-Thursday and another for Friday (having to configure 4 identical days
[21:33] <Jordan_U> for mon-thursday would be less than ideal, but still OK), and the ability to change things for one odd day every once and a while without losing the normal presets.
[21:44] <Pirolocito> Jordan_U: why dont you use cron+mplayer but for the frontend you make a simple gambas software
[21:44] <jvelasquez> ohh wow. this virt-manager made things so much easier.
[21:45] <krypto_> virt-manager is awesome
[21:52] <Jordan_U> PickledEggs: Because I doubt that I could make a very good GUI in a short amount of time, and I don't think my boss wants to pay me a lot of money to develop new software if it can be avoided.
[21:53] <nacc> Jordan_U: meant for Pirolocito ?
[21:53] <Jordan_U> nacc: Indeed, thanks.

[21:56] <HorribleProgram> Hey #ubuntu. Quick question. How would I make a vnc server start at startup?
[21:57] <HorribleProgram> do I edit some shell script to run the program?
[21:58] <Pirolocito> Jordan_U: the ui for that takes less time than your time searching for a software.... it is basically buttons and calls to command line
[21:58] <DaddyEric> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="consoleblank=0"
[21:58] <Pirolocito> :)
[21:58] <DaddyEric> is that corect for disabling the console screensave blanking?
[21:58] <DaddyEric> or do the quotes have to be removed?
[21:59] <HorribleProgram> what scripts are executed on startup
[22:03] <enav> Can somebody help me? I made this redirect in my .htaccess file --> Redirect 302 /2011/05/page/2 https://www.example.com/
[22:03] <enav> I dont know what im doing wrong, I expect it to redirect to --> https://www.example.com/ but im getting redirect here https://www.example.com//page/2
[22:05] <mellowmaroon> Hi, does anyone know whether the compatibility between the AMDGPU OSS driver, the POLARIS 12 chipset, and Ubuntu 17.10?
[22:06] <mellowmaroon> I found this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMDGPU-Driver, but this only lists 16.04 and 17.04
[22:07] <Jordan_U> DaddyEric: Are you following a particular guide? If you're editing your /etc/default/grub then anything between the quotation marks will be passed as kernel parameters at boot, so GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="whatever kernel parameters you want"      You do want to keep the quotes, as they're needed if you want to pass more than one kernel parameter (otherwise the second and subsequent words will be lost to shell
[22:07] <Jordan_U> splitting). You probably don't want to remove other kernel parameters that may already be there.
[22:07] <DaddyEric> ok yeah i only want to pass that one
[22:08] <wellick> hi, how can I check my pc specs on ubuntu?
[22:08] <HorribleProgram>  wellick: arch
[22:08] <Jordan_U> mellowmaroon: If it works in Ubuntu 17.04 then it's safe to assume that it will also work in 17.10, unless you have some reason to suspect otherwise.
[22:08] <mellowmaroon> Jordan_U: I'm using AMDGPU-PRO on 16.04, following AMD guidelines
[22:08] <bcowan> wellick: with inxi
[22:09] <mellowmaroon> Jordan_U: I'm also an ArchLinux expat in this instance, I ran into a bug with it on there
[22:10] <mellowmaroon> wellick: You can also use lshw, I think.  That gives you a lot of info though
[22:10] <mellowmaroon> wellick: And I dont think it's installed by default
[22:11] <wellick> mellowmaroon: yes. it's a bit confusing though, I was looking into something more noob friendly
[22:11] <wellick> maybe GUI based
[22:13] <mellowmaroon> wellick: Right, kinda like Speccy on Windows.  You could take a look here: https://alternativeto.net/software/speccy/?platform=linux
[22:13] <bcowan> I would highly recommend inxi
[22:14] <HorribleProgram> wellick: arch is extremely informative
[22:14] <wellick> isn't Arch a distro?
[22:14] <HorribleProgram> no a command
[22:14] <pavlos> wellick: you could install hardinfo
[22:16] <HorribleProgram> hello, does a router use the hostname or mac address to determine whether to assign it a static or dynamic ip address?
[22:16] <wellick> pavlos: no longer developed
[22:16] <nacc> HorribleProgram: not sure which version of arch you're referring to, but afaict, it just prints out `uname -m`
[22:16] <nacc> HorribleProgram: and that last question doesn't seem like an ubuntu support topic
[22:17] <HorribleProgram> nacc: how much more do you need to know about a system?
[22:17] <nacc> HorribleProgram: wellick asked for their 'specs'.
[22:17] <nacc> HorribleProgram: please don't troll in response to user questions.
[22:17] <HorribleProgram> fine
[22:17] <wellick> naac: yeah, that got me confused.
[22:18] <nacc> wellick: yes, sorry for that.
[22:18] <wellick> no problem
[22:18] <scatterp> hi how can i install GNOME 3.6: with “GNOME Fallback Mode” in ubuntu 16.04 ? i am trying to connect with x2go and would like to see something like https://i.stack.imgur.com/2ZSMr.png
[22:18] <HorribleProgram> wellick: anyways, what's wrong with using Inxi?
[22:18] <wellick> I read there was Sysinfo on ubuntu, but I can't find it
[22:18] <HorribleProgram> wellick: do you want a command line or GUI tool?
[22:19] <wellick> it comes installed with the system?
[22:19] <pavlos> wellick: inxi -F gives you plenty
[22:19] <smhoyo> Hello, I am having some issues with my USB WiFi device. It is a Linksys AE1200, and has no native linux driver, but after reading some forus is should be possible to use ndiswrapper to use the xp driver. However the ones I have seen have been on ubuntu 14.04, and I am on 16.04. If I run ndiswrapper -l I get the following output bcmwlhigh5 : driver installed device (13B1:0039) present (alternate driver: brcmfmac) , but when I run iwcon
[22:19] <smhoyo> Does any of you know anything about how I can get this to work? Alternatively how where I can find more information about this?
[22:19] <smhoyo> I have an internal nic which works, but it does not support monitor mode, so I was hoping this USB nic might have it.
[22:19] <HorribleProgram> smhoyo: pastebin longer than 3 lines plz
[22:19] <wellick> alright i'm gonna try inxi.
[22:19] <smhoyo> HorribleProgram: oh, sorry
[22:20] <HorribleProgram> wellick: no, sadly
[22:20] <mellowmaroon> smhoyo: You can get a second opinion if you like, but you're fighting an uphill battle with ndiswrapper...
[22:20] <scatterp> HorribleProgram a mac address
[22:21] <mellowmaroon> smhoyo: I would look at getting a USB dongle that supports monitor mode
[22:21] <scatterp> smhoyo have you tried using a driver for an older usb dongle sometimes there not so diffrent
[22:21] <HorribleProgram> scatterp: yeah, figured, it's unique
[22:21] <smhoyo> mellowmaroon: yeah, Thing is I believe this USB dongle actually supports it, but I cant get the dongle to actually work at all in linux
[22:22] <smhoyo> mellowmaroon: yeah, Thing is I believe this USB dongle actually supports it, but I cant get the dongle to actually work at all in linux
[22:22] <smhoyo> scatterp: nope I havent, Are there any good resources for such drivers?
[22:23] <smhoyo> I actually also have a thirs USB dongle, which I am unsure if it supports onitor mode. This one actually shows up in wxconfig and ifconfig, but It does not show up in iw list, so I cannot assert wether it supports monitor mode or not.
[22:23] <scatterp> smhoyo if i was you i would google for a list of linksys usb dongle drivers for windows try to figure out a history which device did they make before that and then try that driver one sec i will try for you
[22:23] <smhoyo> However if I try to run airmon-ng start <id> it does not work though
[22:24] <smhoyo> Ah, scatterp and then just do the same procedure with ndiswrapper on the older driver from windows?
[22:25] <bcowan> Is this #ubuntu or wpacracking 101
[22:25] <smhoyo> haha
[22:25] <scatterp> smhoyo no one sec
[22:25] <scatterp> smhoyo RT3572USB try with this driver
[22:25] <smhoyo> Sorry if I am asking in the wrong channel here :p
[22:26] <smhoyo> scatterp: Thank you very much I will try that ! :)
[22:30] <scatterp> also you can try this https://wiki.debian.org/brcm80211#Installation
[22:32] <smhoyo> scatterp: I am not able to find that adriver anywhere, did you have a source for it?
[22:32] <scatterp> not really no
[22:32] <scatterp> sorry
[22:33] <scatterp> you might have to compile it from scratch your trying to do something very advanced a simple way is ebay the adapator buy another one
[22:33] <smhoyo> no worries, I'll look around ^^
[22:33] <scatterp> how can i install GNOME 3.6: with “GNOME Fallback Mode” in ubuntu 16.04 ? i am trying to connect with x2go and would like to see something like https://i.stack.imgur.com/2ZSMr.png
[22:33] <smhoyo> scatterp: yeah, one is already on its way from ebay :p
[22:34] <smhoyo> But I just wanted to see if I could get it to work, but it doesn't look promising hehe
[22:34] <scatterp> smhoyo maybe this sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[22:34] <smhoyo> but the iw list command should list all nic's listed in the iwconfig page, should it not?
[22:35] <scatterp> not nessasarily no your doing buggy stuff...
[22:35] <smhoyo> hehe aight
[22:35] <scatterp> i would simply connect with no wep or wpa to start with then work on that advanced stuff
[22:36] <scatterp> smhoyo maybe this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/96700/equivalent-of-iwlist-to-see-who-is-around not sure
[22:36] <scatterp> ok going to sleep gn all
[23:04] <HorribleProgram> Hello, if the script that started a program ends, does the program end?
[23:05] <HorribleProgram> Hello, how do you reverse-dns lookup?
[23:05] <compdoc> a program follows a script. if the script ends the program, it ends.
[23:06] <HorribleProgram> compdoc: hey, wait what?
[23:09] <Loshki> HorribleProgram: when a script starts a program, that program is a child process of the script. There are strict rules about what happens to children and parents when the child dies. Basically, the parent gets notified, and can choose what to do about it.
[23:10] <nacc> HorribleProgram: the latter is not an ubuntu support topic
[23:11] <nacc> HorribleProgram: not really sure the former is either, tbh. It depends on the script and how it forks the program.

[23:34] <energizer> Do any of the `pastebinit -b` pastebins work?
[23:34] <energizer> (except paste.ubuntu)
[23:35] <energizer> that one is bad
[23:55] <C4rB0n> Hey, I keep getting the dialog box "System program problem detect". This is a relatively fresh load (I did install some stuff after first boot). I comes up every time I boot the laptop. Is there a way I can find the program that's causing the issue?
