[01:26] <Deihmos> when you install ubuntu server the user is not added to the video group automatically but it happens if you install desktop environment
[01:26] <Deihmos> that's weird
[01:44] <blackflow> nothing weird about that. mostly servers are of no use for a video group. and it's handled by the display manager, also uncommon on servers.
[01:46] <Deihmos> had a hard time figuring out why hardware accelerated transcoding with plex was not working
[01:46] <Deihmos> since it worked fine on debian without me doing anything
[16:16] <OliPicard> Howdy All.  I have a ubuntu 18.04LTS server and I've been having issues with the server displaying the following message. "Failed to connect to https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts, Check you internet connection or proxy settings" I am able to curl the url from the server without any issues. Previously I had to reload my VPS with an old backup to get this message to stop.
[16:35] <jelly> OliPicard: which commamd shows that message?
[16:38] <OliPicard> jelly: It is triggered when logging into the server so /etc/update-motd.d/91-release-upgrade
[16:57] <OliPicard> jelly: Just confirmed that this script is the one that causes the error when logging into the shell however I'm able to curl the site without issues.
[17:13] <OliPicard> Ok. I've fixed it! If anyone is curious I'm happy to provide the steps. so 1. delete /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available. 2. run /etc/update-motd.d/91-release-upgrade
