[02:30] 18.10, some of my apps have white menus with light grey words. what setting should I be looking for to increase the contrast? [02:42] i have problem with efi boot loader on macbook pro ,which was working fine but i try to install systemd-boot and it seems problem start there [02:42] how do i fix it ,i can see efi boot loader bar [02:42] --> kamdard (~kamdard@2605:6000:1526:4ca5:679a:5f1e:aa08:d3d2) has joined #ubuntu-unregged [02:42] is there any combination of key to press to boot or what?

[05:49] friendlyGoat: downloading the latest iwlwifi-9*.ucode3 files from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-firmware.git/tree/ to your /lib/firmware/ may remove this message. [05:58] actually, it is an error, reporting that geographic adjustment of radio emission levels is not possible, because only the adjustment level but not the base level is known / could be determined. it is certainly not critical, though, and should also not impact proper operation.

[08:59] is there an opensource option for live patching in Ubuntu? [08:59] !livepatch | yan0s [08:59] yan0s: Canonical Livepatch is a service offered by Canonical for 64 bit 14.04 and higher installs that modifies the currently running kernel for updates without the need to restart. More information can be found at https://ubottu.com/y/livepatch and https://www.ubuntu.com/server/livepatch [09:01] is livepatch open source? [09:02] anyone familiar with copyq, now do i assigned pinned clipboared to specific keys? [09:12] hi [09:12] tomreyn, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1829402/ [09:12] Launchpad bug 1829402 in linux (Ubuntu) "Purple screen hangup during boot" [Undecided,Confirmed] [09:12] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="dis_ucode_ldr" seems to be the solution, never hang [09:13] Jackneill: tomreyn might be afk for now, i will pass the message to him, thank you for the feedback [09:13] lotuspsychje, thank you [09:13] shit intel microcode [09:28] Does the archive.ubuntu.com mirrors implement some kind of rate-limiting? Some of the mirrors give me a consistent 16KB/sec transfer speed. It also seems to depend on what OS I make the request with, and from what network. [09:29] tbrox: you could talk to the #ubuntu-mirrors channel for known issues [09:29] Thanks lotuspsychje [09:30] what is the preferred / *lazy* way of changing username? and why do i cant give a username with a . in the installler? [09:34] Jackneill: are you looking for systemsettings/details/users ? [09:35] lotuspsychje, i meant not the associated the name but the username [09:35] why is it that " sudo echo -e "$newIndex\txvpnrt" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables" fails with a permission error, but if i actually change to root and do it, it works? [09:35] lotuspsychje, thats in passwd, and the group with it [09:36] Jackneill: are you reffering to the hostname? [09:38] lotuspsychje, no. to simply put user@host:~$ here the user part. [09:38] thats not the same as that users setting, just a fancy variant of it. [09:38] the username is the name of the hopme directtory [09:38] i want to change that username. [09:38] because the ubuntu installer didnt allow a period (.) in it.. [09:47] banisterfiend: because sudo only applies to echo, not >>. try echo blah | sudo tee -a /etc/iproute2/rt_tables instead [10:03] Triffid_Hunter thx bb [10:08] rebooted my box today and I am getting "operating system not found" [10:09] what was your last system change/operation wholesum [10:09] and are you the only user [10:09] been working fine for 1+ year [10:09] i am the only user [10:09] what was the last system change? i.e. updates, installs, etc [10:09] gparted was showing the entire disk as unallocated [10:10] a while ago [10:10] so i used gdisk and repaired it, so now i can see the partitions [10:10] i already tried boot-repair [10:10] cfhowlett: "a while ago" is to answer your question [10:11] not when the disk showed up as unallocated [10:11] that was after i couldn't boot [10:11] now i am booted into the live cd and i don't know what else to try [10:12] systems don't generally "unpartition" themselves. however, as you stated the partitions were recovered? [10:13] yes, i was able to recover but cant boot to this disk. [10:13] to make it harder, it is Secure Boot (UEFI) [10:13] wholesum: check disks program, SMART and see if it shows any failures [10:13] already tried disabling secure boot. [10:13] more and more good news:) [10:13] it's an SSD [10:13] ssd's do fail [10:15] i'm going to try smartctl. but the TBW on this disk is less than 80, and it's an Samsung 970 PRO (enterprise version) [10:16] all sounds good if you ignore that even major OEM's have had components fail out of the box. test to be sure. [10:17] smart shows no errors [10:17] https://i.imgur.com/RwrbK3E.png [10:18] can you mount the ssd from your live session and see if the data exists. I suggest at this juncture you concentrate on data backup [10:19] yes, that's what i did, and the data is there [10:19] here's the partition setup https://pastebin.com/akZ5WT7S [10:19] and did you backup your important data? [10:20] i have a backup of most of the data, and I can backup the rest via the live cd [10:21] i also had a fully system backup that failed today, so i deleted it to redo the backup. left for an appointment and when i got back rebooted the machine to restart Acronis (and see if it would back up properly) [10:21] so ofc the system fails on the one day i don't have a full system backup! [10:22] in other words my data is safe, but i would like to try to recover this machine [10:22] then I think you might be looking at reinstalling to the existing partition table. set the previous user/passwd credentials. assuming a dedicated /home, you should be good. [10:22] thank you.how would i go about doing that? [10:23] i have all the users and their pwords [10:23] on the installation page, select the manual partition options "do something else" IIRC. [10:23] so reboot the live USB and chose install ubuntu instead of try it? [10:23] add your admin account, then set the other accounts. that should do it. [10:24] NOTE however, this has worked great for the past 8 years. but when I did it again for ubuntu 18.04, I couldn't see my data. it existed in the partitions but I missed a step somewhere cuz I couldn't get at it. [10:25] do you mean following these steps here? this is the only thing i haven't tried yet: https://www.tecmint.com/rescue-repair-and-reinstall-grub-boot-loader-in-ubuntu/ [10:27] wholesum: what exactly did you back up? [10:27] Let me be emphatic: reinstall is your FINAL option if all else fails [10:28] gotcha. [10:28] wholesum: Reinstalling grub on EFI might be different than what that webpage says [10:28] Eric^^: i have data backedup. the system partition (with the home directory) is not backed up. the system backup was lost, today ofc [10:29] jeremy31: hmm, the live USB is using EFI. [10:32] wholesum: you can do this from live https://askubuntu.com/a/831241 [10:33] jeremy31: will try that! [10:34] note: the system in question is server 18.04.1 [10:38] the one partition i can't mount in the live USB is the EFI System Partition. is this partition supposed to be mountable? [10:59] Is Landscape On-Premises free of charge? [11:09] Anybody here running atop successfully on 18.04.2 LTS? Having troubles to get the atop deamon started. Installed package and systemd faild to start service ERR MSG says something about kernel "bug", fetched newest release from github 2.4.0 ( dpkg version is 2.3.0 ). Daemon atopacctd runs but the atop.daily scripts fails to run exit code 7. Hints welcome :-) [11:11] how to fix BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server. [11:11] another window manager already running on display :0 [11:11] Error: Couldn't find screens to manage. [11:11] Make sure you don't have another window manager running. [11:11] (trying to run fluxbox) [11:13] Fixion_, did you select flux at the login window [11:14] uh no ... uh its ok just ignore it for now... [11:15] Fixion_, if you want to run kde (kubuntu) lubuntu (lxde) or whatver, you need to select at login [11:16] I'm kinda barking up the wrong tree ... (WSL doesn't have a login window/DM tat way) [11:16] I'm in #ubuntu-on-windows but nobody replying right now [11:16] Fixion_, you should mention that right away [11:17] I'm not sure how to determine if its a problem with another manager running, just an administrator lock in /var somehwere or if theres a problem with the vcxsrv not connecting with the internal linux x-server [11:18] Fixion_, is wsl ever allowed to use flux even [11:19] I'm using it on my fedora remix and I've used it on ubuntu before [11:19] I can get mine working [11:19] but my friend is getting that error for his and I don't know enough to help him as to what is causing this particular problem [11:20] it should be working I think... [11:20] for the most part you really just need to export DISPLAY=:0 [11:20] and have a running X-Server application (on the windows side) [11:21] datasmurf: atop from the official repo works fine for me on Ubuntu 18.04. Sorry, but we can only support the packaged version from the official repos. Not compiled from github. [11:21] I talked him through that, but he started X with the command X at first, I told him to exit everything, he did that, I'm wondering if the X he ran that way is still running or something ... [11:21] Fixion_: sorry, but we do not support WSL here. [11:24] wholesum: you should be able to mount the efi system partition [11:24] Hi folks [11:39] apparently he got it working... [11:39] thx anyway [11:40] Hello, how can I change a color in a pdf? Could be in command line. I have a PDF and I want to change some colors in it but because there are many pages it should be automated. Is there a tool? [11:42] Ublx, is the pdf protected [11:42] Ublx: hi, you might /msg ALIS help and search for a channel a bit more suited to that - your question really has nothing to do with ubuntu [11:43] it's fine mouses [11:44] Ublx, you probably wont get a cli tool, but apt-cache search pdf should offer some options [11:44] Hello, I'm connecting to a remote server behind NAT with a reverse SSH, to do so I just run 'ssh administrador@localhost -p 19999' that works fine, but I'm trying to do now is use it as proxyjump but I get "Permission denied" every time, the command I'm using is 'ssh -J administrador@localhost -p1999 manager@192.168.81.202' [11:44] pdftk being one [11:45] *first but = what [11:48] Thanks, bazhang and mouses. [11:48] welcome [11:48] Ublx: best of luck :-) [12:23] hi. how can i install TeX::Hyphen module in ubuntu? [12:26] b1ack0p, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX contains some info on add-on package install options [12:26] installing cpan now [12:27] it seems easy [12:31] my bluetooth adapter rt3290 work only if im running this command sudo modprobe rtbth [12:31] possible to make it automatic_ i mean... [12:31] that it works alone [12:32] should be! [12:33] it would be best to file a bug (detailing the exact vendor/device IDs from lspci or lsusb, whichever is appropriate) so in a future update it'll Just Work [12:33] meanwhile I think you'd need to create a udev config file that tells it to load this driver for that device [12:33] let me google a bit [12:34] finally [12:34] cpan was extremely easy than i guessed [12:42] oh, Synaptic has quit without waiting for an answer, which is https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/forcing-a-specific-driver-for-a-device-through-udev-836411/ [12:55] Hi, can I use a local machine to serve as an installation source for preseed? [12:55] just managed to f u. dist.upgrade, crashed during install.. any ideas smarter than me people? [12:55] VasTappendage: usually you can just run it again to continue [12:56] I've copied the entire contents of the ubuntu 18 server iso to a local machine and am trying to use that machine as the installation source in preseed, for e.g: [12:56] d-i mirror/http/hostname string http://myhost.mydomain [12:56] d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu/ubuntu18 [12:56] but the installer gives me an error saying "no kernel modules found" is having the iso copied locally not enough? [12:56] shouldn't be a problem [12:56] VasTappendage: I fixed many snafus by repeating sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt dist-upgrade --fix-missing until it told me there was nothing left to upgrade/configure [12:57] uzee: iirc the new ubuntu server ISOs contain a live system instead of a bunch of .deb packages, so you cannot use it as an apt repository [12:57] there should be alternative server ISOs that contain debs and those might work, maybe? [12:58] mgedmin: thanks very much, I'll try and look for other images [13:00] tomodachi ...it just hangs at the boot login screen [13:00] VasTappendage: boot? or login? [13:01] boot [13:01] so before grub? or after grub? [13:03] !ping [13:03] pong! [13:04] i think it is after grub, starts to load the fails at utmp update [13:05] VasTappendage: can you get to the grub menu (hold down shift, iirc) and select the rescue option to get a root shell? [13:06] hang on le tme try [13:09] yes have got it into recov mode [13:13] ok got it into recov mode. now what [13:26] i am using ubuntu 18.04.2 on macbook pro [13:27] but i am not able to save any firefox or chrome page (page save as option) [13:28] error messages? [13:30] what happened to the smarter than me people? [13:31] !patience | VasTappendage [13:31] VasTappendage: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [13:32] VasTappendage: another alternative is re-ask your question to the channel, with all details [13:32] gvfsd[3076]: mkdir failed on directory /var/cache/samba: Permission denied [13:33] brcmsmac bcma0:1: START: tid 1 is not agg'able [13:33] i have installed b43 package but i have no idea how to configure it [13:34] b43-fwcutter [13:34] firmware-b43-installer [13:37] anyone using nvidia proprietary graphics driver has some serious issues when returning to the desktop after suspension?

[13:39] i thought they are co related as b43 driver might has issuse [13:40] propretary driver [13:41] mattfly: for GTX we reccomend the ubuntu graphics ppa, try out a few drivers from there as a test [13:41] !nvidia | mattfly [13:41] mattfly: For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto .

[13:45] thanks .. you know how it is. mgedmin.. yes managed to get it into rootshell ran apt -dist-upgrade from there it is chugging away installing freebsd or something ..will see when the bell goes off. [13:47] hopefully when the distro is fully upgraded, all the problems will be gone! [13:47] (I had many broken ubuntu upgrades that were successfully finished with a command-line apt-get dist-upgrade -f) [13:49] leftyfb: Ok, i got it "working". [13:55] i have a SSD drive of an installed version of ubuntu.. is there a way i can make it into a VM [13:58] Assid: yes, you can either put the SSD into another computer or just block copy the entire drive to a file somewhere else and boot off of it in a VM. [14:01] SwedeMike: once i put it into another pc.. not sure what to do exactly [14:02] I want to download ubuntu to try out in a VM on a mac so 64bit. Does it make any difference choosing the 32bit image over the 64 when running in a VM [14:02] Steveccc: there is no reason not to choose 64bit. [14:03] swedemike: thanks - i used to run ubuntu years ago and considering it for a production laptop for development would you recommend the LTS over the other or maybe server version to run the web server on the same machine that i am developing on? [14:04] i was trying to find more information about mac its mac book pro 6 2 [14:04] SwedeMike: knmow a good resource i can use? [14:04] Steveccc= LTS all the way! [14:05] Steveccc: If you're going to be using it as a desktop, then normal Ubuntu is fine and you can still run a web server on it. I'd use an LTS if you want stability. If you want newer packages, then maybe go with a newer release. Depends on your needs. [14:05] Steveccc: depends on your requirements, what you're developing for and their requirements. [14:05] do you enjoy upgrading your OS every 6 months? then use the latest; otherwise use the LTS [14:05] samba35: did you not say you installed ubuntu server on your mac few days ago? [14:05] running a web server on your dev laptop is a very normal thing to do [14:05] Assid: what kind of computer are you putting it in, and what OS does it run and what do you need to do with it? [14:05] Steveccc: if youre asking about it.. i think LTS would be best for you [14:05] the only difference between server and desktop versions are what packages get installed by default [14:05] its web development - php and mysql mainly so just want stability, speed etc but also good driver support for the machine [14:06] yes [14:06] Steveccc: Then go with LTS. [14:06] ok thanks [14:06] samba35: ask your issues in #ubuntu-server then please [14:06] i give up that idea that did not work [14:06] SwedeMike: sorry mate.. windows desktop pc , probably either hyperv or virtualbox for the hypervisor [14:06] samba35: so you have desktop installed now? [14:06] mgedmin: 9 months [14:06] yes [14:06] samba35: ok.. [14:07] Assid: ok, I don't know how those work on windows. [14:07] i have two hardisk swap hardisk [14:07] SwedeMike: have a guide for ubuntu ? [14:07] Assid: it's less work to just install ubuntu from scratch and reinstall your applications and restore the settings you need from the SSD [14:08] Assid: I can google it, https://askubuntu.com/questions/308897/convert-ubuntu-physical-machine-to-virtual-machine seems like one guide that touches this. You can probably find more. [14:08] leftyfb: lots of data on it .. i dont wanna re-create the database structure etc. [14:08] SwedeMike: yeah thats what i was seeing.. which pointed me here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/34802/convert-my-physical-operating-system-to-a-virtualbox-disk [14:08] Assid: depending on the DB you're using, that's literally just a dump and restore of the DB. A single command line [14:09] leftyfb: yes im aware.. but i was trying to avoid the whole re-creation of the box. since this was pretyt much configured [14:09] ok let me try server [14:09] bye for now [14:09] Assid: I'm just telling you, it's less work and cleaner to just reinstall and restore. Not to mention, you get better and the process. [14:10] hi everyone [14:10] alrite.. let me see if i can pull down any machine here.. it was a test dev box .. which was recycled BACK to a windows desktop when the project was cancelled [14:16] welcome AvidWolf43 how can we help you? [14:17] anyone have experience with grafana / prometheus / metrics in general? [14:17] AvidWolf43: we try to focus on specific ubuntu problems in this channel, is it related? [14:18] lotuspsychje: ubuntu is the host but aside from that no [14:18] Grafana is not available in the Ubuntu repos [14:18] neither prometheus.. [14:18] AvidWolf43: you can try #ubuntu-offtopic then or !alis to find a relevant channel [14:19] thx [14:19] !prometheus [14:19] !info prometheus [14:20] Package prometheus does not exist in bionic [14:20] odd [14:21] BluesKaj: apt-cache shows it here on bionic [14:21] it is an AWS thingy .. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/monitor-ubuntu-server-with-prometheus/ [14:21] guess they reinstated prometheus in 19.10 [14:22] I'm testing 19.10 and it's in the repos [14:22] AvidWolf43: if it can help, you can also use the manpage for prometheus [14:23] lotuspsychje: I guess im just confused by all these tools and which would fit my use case [14:23] lotuspsychje, guess the apt bot isn't up to date [14:23] for instance when I search for grafana I usually get it combined with prometheus, influxdb, elasticsearch, graylog [14:23] AvidWolf43: come to #ubuntu-discuss please [14:24] combined? as it is not in our repos, you follow a wild guide [14:24] AvidWolf43, grafana is not in the repos [14:24] hi [14:25] can someone explain me how to prevent snap related tasks from being executed on boot? [14:25] webmind: what is your issue? [14:25] webmind, disable snapd? [14:25] However, yes, why? [14:25] I've got a nextcloud instance, but I don't want anything touching that snap before I do something as a user [14:26] there's an encrypted partition that needs mounting first [14:26] so I only want it to manually be started [14:26] webmind: disable the nextcloud service [14:26] I tried [14:27] but there is no one nextcloud service in systemd it seems [14:27] webmind: what exactly did you try? (what command) and why do you think it didn't work? [14:27] I tried looking for a service to disable [14:27] and I disabled snap-nextcloud-13453.mount, but that gets run anyway [14:30] now I did systemctl disable snapd [14:30] but after a reboot, snapd is still running [14:30] webmind: I think you can systemctl edit snapd.service and add an After=your-special-filesystem.mount or something [14:30] or again [14:31] to the override file it creates [14:31] pardon i was asleep, tomreyn. im gonna look at that link of yours. i tried installing the new version of the driver but i dunno if i loaded it properly as i've never loaded a new driver before. gonna try looking into it. fortunately i can use my computer normally, it just bothers me seeing that little message before i load it up. i can use wifi too. [14:32] mgedmin: oh, how does that work? [14:32] webmind: 'systemctl disable' is tricky; it only prevents the service from starting if nothing else requires it [14:32] there's systemctl mask, but let's not go there [14:32] man systemd.unit describes what After=, Require= etc do [14:32] friendlyGoat: tomreyn might be afk for now, maybe idle in #ubuntu-discuss until he's back? [14:32] *Requires= [14:33] I'm fuzzy on the details myself, tbh [14:34] but that will cause systemd to try and mount it no? [14:35] I can't have an automated system try and mount the mountpoint [14:36] that's the difference between After and Requires, AFAIU [14:36] one waits until the thing becomes available, the other tries to make the thing available [14:37] Requires = Configures requirement dependencies on other units. If this unit gets activated, the units listed here will be activated as well. [14:37] so it isn't requires [14:39] So I guess I need to use after, but I can't make out what I need to fill in after After=, I guess some systemd module? How do I write that? [14:40] webmind: mount the thing you need mounted, then try systemctl list-units -t mount [14:40] see if you see your mount point there [14:40] it should be mount path with slashes converted to dashes, ending in .mount [14:41] afaiu systemd creates these units dynamically when it sees new filesystems getting mounted [14:42] yeah, the systemd.mount man page confirms that [14:42] snap command to remove deprecated snaps?? [14:43] var-snap.mount it seems, so I do After=var-snap.mount [14:43] there's a risk maybe that if you do what I suggest and make snapd.service wait until the special mountpoint that it will time out after several minutes after boot and just fail instead of patiently waiting [14:43] but eh, at least it won't start with /var/snap not mounted [14:43] I'll find out now :) [14:44] can the timeout be lowered? [14:44] you mean, will it block the boot process? I hope not, that would suck [14:44] hmm, I see startup messages for nextcloud being started [14:46] snapd and nextcloud still got started [14:46] ugh :/ [14:46] maybe I should mask it, and manually unmaks it... [14:49] I've tried 2 different screencasting software and both only record a black screen. One gives an error message and fails when run from the command line. I need to create a short video for my boss before 9 am (less than an hour 15 min. CAn anyon pleas help? [14:50] which ones did you try? [14:50] masking snapd doesn't help either [14:52] webmind: OBS (which I think was working on 16.04 before a dist upgrade to 18.04 - but iirc though). And just installed Kazam to try it. Both will record my voice from the mic but not any video. [14:53] I did crate a sceen and add sources with obs (should have bee setup correctly) [14:54] plongshot: try simplescreenrecorder [15:01] friendlyGoat: so things work and it's just a nuisance, i see. well, you could try the newer firmwares. or try to learn to ignore it. another option would by to try and change the iwlwifi drivers' verbosity, but this bears the chance of loosing other messages you'd want to see. [15:01] how would i go about trying newer firmwares? [15:02] webmind: maybe ask on askubuntu.com? this might be too complicated for irc [15:05] mgedmin: ok [15:06] webmind: or, re-ask here with all details, or talk to the #snappy channel === dax is now known as ezri [15:09] webmind: I installed simplescreenrecorder and attempt to use but it has some kind of but where you select the output file. It does not allow to select the file from the nautilus pop up dialogue. The button in the upper right corner to seelct is inactivated always [15:09] During setup process [15:10] tomreyn, i decided to remove verbosity from the driver, im looking into how to do it now. when i was in my drivers however i found some odd ones i dont know the purpose of. what are intel_telemetry_pltdrv and intel_telemetry_core [15:10] also im going to check to make sure my wifi is in fact working [15:11] wifi is in fact working, theres just that annoying error on boot [15:13] Do you have to create an empty file for it or somethign? aack! [15:19] Thyis is what I get for output when trying to "start recording" with simplescreenrecorder: "" [15:19] [PageRecord::StartPage] Starting page ... [15:19] [PageRecord::StartPage] Started page. [15:19] [PageRecord::StartOutput] Starting output ... [15:19] [Muxer::Init] Using format mp4 (MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14)). [15:19] [Muxer::AddStream] Using codec libx264 (libx264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10). [15:19] plongshot, you know, don't paste like that [15:20] good god [15:20] !paste [15:20] I'm so sorry [15:20] I'm horrified! [15:21] the only thing i can imagine, is that you run a wayland session? [15:21] I'm so screwed. No screen capture software will work for me and I hav 39 min to get somethign done with it [15:21] oh my god! [15:21] simplescreenrecorder works fine [15:21] not for me [15:21] and I don't have the time to look how to usee the dam thing [15:22] plongshot, try recordmydesktop? Optionally -gtk [15:22] plongshot: do you want help or not?

[15:28] yes yes [15:28] i did lsmod but its fine now i unplugged them [15:28] I'm sorry I got freaked out and was off trying to make the bass* work [15:29] I have till 9 am start time and could make a vid in a few min even just to show my proposal [15:29] lordcirth: popey_ [15:29] ? [15:30] simple [15:30] plongshot: gnome-shell has a builtin screen recorder; start recording with ctrl+alt+r, stop recording with the same key, find the recorded .ogv file in ~/Videos after the encoding is done in the background (might take a few minutes) [15:30] plongshot: open a terminal, type "echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE" and tell me what it says (without the quotes) [15:30] a red dot appears in the top bar when the recorder is active, so you can see if it works [15:30]
