Oderushello. recently i changed my gmail password, and so i went to change it in kmail, and ever since then KMail gives me the error "Could not read password : user rejected waller access". I tried erasing the relevent data from wallet, rebooting, and then giving it my password, but the same thing happens still. How can I resolve this?00:12
usneyare minimum system requirements based on CPU based frequency or the burst frequency?00:15
sarnoldwhatever you're willing to tolerate00:16
sarnoldwhatever your workload requires00:16
sarnoldminimum memory requirements are going to be a lot more important, probably00:16
supermasterblastI did an upgrade and my system isn't bootable. I am running a 3 disk raid system. I think it is an issue with grub needing to be reinstalled correctly. I booted with a usb linux system. not sure how to reinstall brug though. i have /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc have the raid partitions on them00:18
usneyI mean on the page that says the minimum requirements for running ubuntu00:20
sarnoldusney: if you've got eg a 1ghz processor, transitions in the default window managers may be pretty poor. but lubuntu or xubuntu might work well enough for you to not hate it.00:23
sarnoldusney: but if you've got eg 512M ram, maybe a gui isn't a great idea. (my 512M ram instance on amazon is enough for tmux, mosh, irssi, but not much more)00:24
usneyI have a 1ghz based processor with a 2.1 ghz burst00:24
usneysarnold CPU max MHz:         2100.000000:26
usneyis that good enough for latest ubuntu?00:26
usneyit is dual core00:26
sarnoldyeah; I don't know if it'd be a good experience in gnome or not, but certainly you can find *something* on ubuntu that would feel pleasant00:27
netametaSomething in a latest update on ubuntu messes boot in vmware00:28
usneyI setup my friend's laptop with gnome with a newly bought laptop and his max mhz is 2600.000000:28
netametavery annoying00:28
usneyruns smoothly00:28
usneywell I'll see if it works ok00:29
usneyI got it on usb drive00:29
netametaIs already 2 x 18.0.4 that get stuck in boot00:29
netametaafter i update software00:29
netametaNot sure what i updated either00:29
tomreynnetameta: i read what you say as "vmware does not support fully updated ubuntu well", i.e. a vmware support question.00:30
Oderusi relogged to try something if anyone tried to reply to my kmail question00:30
tomreynOderus: try asking in #kubuntu, too, since this is likely kubuntu specific (kmail, kwallet etc.)00:31
netametatomreyn, Well it was working perfectly fine, i then updated and now its stuck in boot00:31
tomreynnetameta: i understood so much. see if you can boot to recovery and continue booting from there.00:32
Oderustomreyn: ok will do thanks00:32
tomreynsupermasterblast: which ubuntu version do you have installed on those disks, which RAID level, and what's the live usb/cdrom system you're trying to recover with?00:33
netametayea booting to recover then to normal works00:33
tomreynnetameta: so !nomodeset is a workaround00:33
netametatomreyn, Whats nomodest ?00:34
tomreynmaybe there's also newer 'vmware-tools' you can install. but it's really an issue in their domain IMO00:34
tomreyn!nomodeset00:34
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:34
tomreynimagine it was a windows guest which failed after you installed upgrades. whom would you expect to provide 'the fix'?00:35
netametatomreyn, I am on window host yes00:39
netametaAnd the upgrade i installed were in linux00:39
netameta``` so it may not be needed to make this option permanent, just for one boot until you installed the nvidia drivers.``` cant i just run safemode and install drivers there ?00:39
tomreynnomodeset is usually used for nvidia hardware, but your VM only sees the hardware the virtualization provides, which won't be any 'nvidia' or similar, but rather vmwgfx or something.00:41
tomreynthat's unless you do graphics card passthrough, but you probably do not.00:41
netametatomreyn, wait so nomodest isnt the solution for me ?00:45
tomreynnetameta. it's a workaround to get you non accelerated graphics.00:46
tomreyni just learnt that vmwgfx.ko is actually in linux, i wasn't aware of that. so i guess you can file a bug against linux, too00:46
netametawell first i want to see if nomodeset works00:47
netametaand BTW i do have nvidia cards so00:47
tomreynyes, but not passed through, i assume?00:47
netametaWill check - i dont think so though00:48
tomreynif you don't know then you most likely don't.00:48
tomreynto file a bug about vmwgfx you can run: ubuntu-bug linux      # be sure to mention your exact vmware version, where the boot gets stuck, which workaround you tried and which of them worked. and that it refers to to file a bug, you can run: ubuntu-bug linux      # be sure to mention your exact vmware version, which workarounds you tried, which of them worked.00:49
tomreynoops copy / paste fail00:50
netametatomreyn, I dont see any pass through option00:52
netametadont see graphic card options eithjer00:52
tomreynnetameta: i don'T know whether there is one, i can only support ubuntu00:52
netametaSo i assume its not.00:53
netametaHowever it does act weird when i have nomodeset00:54
tomreynnetameta: you can try vga=791 instead.01:00
netametai am not trying to upgrade vmware tools first01:01
netametathen i will try vga=79101:02
netametaand lastly i will use nomodeset01:02
netametavga=791 didnt work01:06
sarnolddoes vga= still work at all?01:07
tomreynit does for me01:07
tomreynmaybe not on a desktop01:08
sarnoldthe Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt has "vga=            [BOOT,X86-32] " .. and then says it's for the bootloader, not the kernel. which is quite confusing all around. ;)01:08
netametaWell only nomodeset works - and screen res is massed and it works very weird and slow01:09
tomreynnetameta: so which vmware product and version are you using, and have you verified that they state ubuntu 18.04 is supported by it (ignoring the fact that it happened to work previously)?01:11
netametavmware workstation 15, and yes about the ubuntu 18.0401:11
netametaIs there a way to add more resultion options in settings ?01:12
tomreynno. your current workaround limits the available resolutions.01:13
tomreynwell, you could probably add lower resolutions, but not in "settings"01:15
Oderusrecently i changed my gmail password, and so i went to change it in kmail, and ever since then KMail gives me the error "Could not read password : user rejected waller access". I tried erasing the relevent data from wallet, rebooting, and then giving it my password, but the same thing happens still. How can I resolve this? Kubuntu 19.0401:21
Svetaif you don't get a good response about it here within 30 minutes, I'd suggest to ask #kde about it01:22
df00zHey, whereabouts does ubuntu keep it's kernel config file these days?  Finding a lot of wiki pages or other places that reference /boot but I dont see it01:25
df00znevermind i am blind it is in /boot01:28
OderusSveta: i have asked there but either everyone is asleep or doesn't know ;p01:36
netametatomreyn, my current setting is set to 4k, but ubuntu only see 1176x88501:40
TikityTikhow do i install a newer version of weechat on ubuntu 18.04?01:43

TikityTikSveta: https://weechat.org/download/debian/01:45
SvetaTikityTik: you can add `deb https://weechat.org/ubuntu bionic main` to your sources.list, then, I guess01:46

TikityTikthanks01:57
k_szeWhat's the difference between linux-generic and linux-lowlatency?02:04
sarnoldk_sze: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/P9vN62C6bK/02:08
sarnoldk_sze: that's for bionic's 4.15.0-51.55 linux package, more or less selected as the latest-ish-looking LTS kernel from my big pile of kernel configs02:09
k_szeSo if I understand correctly, the lowlatency is more heavy-handed in terms of preemption.02:12
k_szeSo that no single process can easily make the whole system unresponsive?02:12
Bashing-omk_sze: See: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2421161&highlight=latency for latency discussion.02:13
sarnoldin the short-run, perhaps; the idea being that your sound card is less likely to have buffer underruns, or motor controllers get their inputs closer to the times they need them02:13
DouglasKQuestion... where does gnome keep the list of apps that come up as apps when you search in Activities?02:36
DouglasK(Ubuntu 19.04)02:37
SvetaDouglasK: ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications ?02:50
DouglasKThank you.  So, that just means the one I created isn't working... at least it's one thing off my list.02:51

TMLgeirha: thanks06:21
TMLthat's at least a thread to tug at :)06:21
TMLI find it convenient when it tells me the correct apt package, but I don't allow snaps on my systems, so I'd rather just mute that06:22

munhi06:56
munanyone know how to delete all files in one folder that exist in another?06:56
blackflowmun: find /path/to/another/dir/ -maxdepth 1 -type f | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} | xargs -I{} -n 100 rm /path/to/one/folder/{}       -- note, this ain't recursive, only affects files straight in /another/dir/07:04
geirhaI'd go with the rsync he got in ##linux instead. Also, mun, don't cross post07:06
blackflowmun: alternatively you can use sed...    find .... | sed 's/another\/path\/prefix/one\/path\/prefix/g' | xargs rm07:06
geirhadangerous code07:07
mungeirha i don't know why rsync wouldn't work07:07
geirhayou may need trailing slashes on the directories, otherwise it willl create a new directory instide the destination07:08
geirhaHere's one way to do it with bash (echo added as a dryrun): (cd /dest && for file in *; do if [[ ! -e /src/$file ]]; then echo rm "$file"; fi; done)07:11
mungeirha i think i know why rsync doesn't work. --delete deletes extra files in dest that exist in source07:13
muni mean, that don't exist in source07:13
muni'm actually trying to do the opposite, i.e. delete files in dest that exist in source07:13
blackflowgeirha: why would you think my commands are dangerous? there's no shell expansion through variables anywhere. I'm pretty sure even spaces in filenames would be handled correctly by xargs07:14
blackflowyeah, it would, tested.07:15
blackflowjust needs -n1 for that second xargs07:16
geirhasome of your xargs will handle spaces in filenames, none of them will handle newlines or quotes07:16
blackflownewlines in filenames? on linux?07:16
geirhayes, unfortunately linux allows that07:17
blackflowhuh... after 25 years of linuxing.... this is a first one.07:17
o-bitHello whats up? I was wondering if it's true ubuntu is dropping 32bit libraries from it's repos?07:18

ubottuo-bit: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks!07:18
blackflowgeirha: so what rsync command was given?07:18
o-bitubottu: It's about ubuntu, how is that offtopic? It's a very big support question.07:19
geirhablackflow: <n0a110w> rsync -rvz --delete source dest, will delete the extra files in the dest that are not present in source07:19
lotuspsychjeo-bit: support questions are meant to solve an issue you have07:19
blackflowgeirha: that doesn't sound what the OP asked. they asked the reverse, delete files in dest that DO exist in src.07:20
o-bitlotuspsychje: What about issues I will have?07:20
mungeirha that command works, but i had remove the !07:20
blackflowunless we have an XY problem here and that's not really what OP wanted.07:20
munbecause i'm trying to delete files common to both dest and source07:20
mungeirha thanks07:21
o-bitANyways let me go and ask in #ubuntu-*07:21
geirhayeah, I think we replaced "exist" with "not exist" in our heads, because that's a much more common task, and so gave wrong answers07:22
munyep. all good :D07:22
TJ-o-bit: see https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/i386-architecture-will-be-dropped-starting-with-eoan-ubuntu-19-10/1126307:24
blackflowmun: so your question was actually how to delete files that DON'T exist?07:26
munblackflow hmm no, i'm trying to delete files in dest that exist in source07:27
blackflowmun: ah, k. so geirha's   for loop   solved your problem?07:27
munblackflow yep :D07:27
blackflownice. :)07:27
munblackflow except i had to remove the negation07:27
munblackflow thanks for your input though07:27
mundon't know why rsync wouldn't work either07:28
blackflownp. my commands would've worked, but geirha is right, they don't solve edge cases with newlines in names and other stupidities.07:28
geirhalike apostrophees07:28
blackflowmun: rsync deletes files that are NOT present in source. you wanted the opposite07:28
munyeah07:29
munrsync results in identical directories07:29
munIIRC07:30
muni was told to just swap source and dest07:30
gofiowhile on on board keyboard (I'm in a spanish system so "teclado en pantalla") I can use it in a text document, but not in a url address, or say a google search, or here typing in irc. I've used it before and it worked. Is this something usually happens? if anybody knows07:31

ShishKababA firmware update that came with Win 10 which I sometimes boot in to, messed up a bunch of things. Aside from Windows not booting, my Ubuntu 18.04 does not login anymore. I enter my password, and it returns to the login screen. When I boot into recovery mode, /var/log/gdm3 is empty. Where can I find out what is going wrong?08:21
cfhowlettdmesg08:21
yankovicWant to understand how network is configured in ubuntu 18. Netplan is used in it. I see that configuration for systemd-networkd is generated in /run/systemd/network after every boot. But who generates it? I can't find any .service file with "ExecStart=netplan generate". What is the mechanism to pull the netplan?08:22
ShishKababcfhowlett: That will be cleared on reboot, right? I have another issue that doesn't allow me to switch to a TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F2.08:23
ShishKababSo I have to boot with recovery mode.08:23
cfhowlettover my level there, ShishKabab but it sounds like a red flag to me08:23
ShishKababYeah, I know. The issue with the TTY is that when I press enter after entering my username, it keeps enter pressed down, so it keeps saying login failed until I Ctrl+C.08:24
cfhowlettjust a thought: update your firmware08:25
ShishKababThat's what caused the issue, a firmware update yesterday.08:26
cfhowlettdoh!08:26
cfhowlettso it wasn't a win 10 update?08:26
cfhowletti.e firmware comes from the computer manufacturer not from windows08:27
ShishKababThe firmware update came with the automatic updates.08:27
cfhowlettok then.  ask in the channel from time to time.  someone will likely know08:28
ShishKababWindows said Update and reboot in the normal shut down menu, next time I boot Windows it reboots and starts reflashing my thing.08:28
ShishKababOK, thanks for your time!08:28
ShishKababI got further, am able to login with an older kernel on the TTY. When I try to login in graphically, it still goes back to the login screen, and in dmesg I get 'PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key'08:38

ShishKababYes, finally  :)08:39

DrJany idea why ubuntu would lose internet every single morning from about 6am to 8am local time?11:56
DrJwhile every other computer on network is perfectly fine11:56
DrJrebooting fixes it every time... but also waiting until around 8am will also fix it every time12:00
cfhowlettcron job?12:01
DrJnope12:01
DrJthat was my first thought12:01
DrJsyslog shows nothing either, rather name ntp failing during that time12:04
blackflowDrJ: dhcp server having some left-over rule for that IP from earlier?12:05
DrJstatic IP, not DHCP on network12:05
DrJ*no12:05
blackflowDrJ: alright, then back to square one. how does it lose connectivity? routing? dns?12:06
cfhowlettdoes it do this on all networks or only homebase DrJ?12:06
DrJdns still works, but it uses a local DNS server12:06
DrJwhich btw local traffic still works12:06
TJ-DrJ: there's mouse nibbling at the Ethernet cable but you disturb it at 8am :)12:06
DrJTJ- it is an esxi vm, other vms are fine12:06
blackflowDrJ: that doesn't answer my question :) _how_ is internet "lost"?12:06
blackflowoh a VM....12:07
TJ-DrJ: so it loses Internet routing, but not local host routing?12:07
DrJcan't ping nothing outside of local network12:07
DrJyea12:07
DrJping or anything else that is12:07
TJ-DrJ: does "local network" mean just the ESXI host, or the entire local LAN?12:07
DrJentire12:07
DrJfor example, I can ping other local subnets12:08
TJ-DrJ: so it essentiall loses its default route?12:08
blackflowso local LAN is accessible?12:08
DrJTJ-, appears so12:08
TJ-DrJ: is it using IPv6? maybe RAs are getting lost?12:08
DrJno ipv612:08
blackflowDrJ: can you confirm the status of default route when that happens? is it unset? is it set but unpingable, is it pingable but nothing gets through to WAN?12:09
TJ-DrJ: the ping tests that fail, you use IPv4 addresses not hostnames?12:09
DrJBlackDex: I can't test anything until it happens again tomorrow morning :)12:09
DrJand believe me, it will happen again12:10
TJ-DrJ: because if you use hostnames AND if they resolve to IPv6 AND the IPv6 default route has expired due to missing RAs... this would happen12:10
DrJTJ-, pinging IP fails as well12:11
TJ-DrJ: is it a desktop or server install?12:11
DrJserver12:11
TJ-DrJ: so using systemd-networkd network configuration?12:11
DrJfor example right now ping 8.8.8.8 is working12:11
DrJ12 minutes agao ping 8.8.8.8 was not working12:11

DrJhmm12:12
blackflowbut every day between 6-8? consistently? I'm still betting on the router having some left over rule for the IP12:12

DrJaround 8am it does begin to be used quite a bit12:14
b1ack0pi am using same ssd and similar bios what changed?12:14
TJ-b1ack0p: If it is EFI, it is possible the motherboard firmware disallows booting from GRUB *Unti* you specifically trust the bootloader via options in the firmware setup menus, that you access at boot-time12:15
b1ack0pJonopoly: i created 2 partition12:15

b1ack0pwhat s so hard to understand?12:20
cfhowlettmeaning what exactly?12:20
JonopolyON the same harddrive?12:20
b1ack0pthat s what i was doing for years12:20
b1ack0pyes12:20
b1ack0psame harddrive!12:20
JonopolyDual boot does make them seperate.....12:20
b1ack0pr u troll?12:20
Jonopolyb1ack0p, no just trying to help you12:21
b1ack0pTJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zPDm7MHDRZ/12:21
b1ack0pJonopoly: thx but it doesnt help..12:21
cfhowlett"install next to windows" = dualboot!12:21
b1ack0pi d like seperate partitions12:21
TJ-I think everyone is getting confused here. b1ack0p  Ubuntu installer's "Install Alongside.." is the dual-boot installation method12:21
b1ack0pif i want them together i would use vm12:21
b1ack0pTJ-: so i am talking something different12:22
b1ack0psorry12:22
Jonopolyb1ack0p, it seems my answer was as helpful as intended12:22
JonopolyInstall a long side = Dual boot / Seperate12:22
JonopolyIT create the partitions for you12:22
b1ack0pso how do u define installing win and ubuntu to seperate partitions?12:22
JonopolyI'd call it dual booting12:22
b1ack0p+ing12:22
b1ack0pi see12:22
b1ack0pok sounds not much different then12:23
Jonopolyi think it is the exact same thing12:23
b1ack0pinstalling alongside windows looks like installing an app12:23
TJ-b1ack0p: if you use the installer's "Install alongside" it will, i think suggest shrinking the windows partition if required to make space for Ubuntu, then add additional partitions for Ubuntu and possibly GRUB12:23
JonopolyInstalling a long side is easiest method...12:23
b1ack0pTJ-: in past i tried it and it installed ubuntu inside windows12:23
b1ack0plike an app or software12:24
TJ-Although I've not done the install alongside so can't be sure it does shrink12:24
JonopolyTJ- it asks you how much do you want etc..12:24
b1ack0pit was version 10-11-12 something i guess12:24
TJ-b1ack0p: that sounds like the old WUBI installer, which is long gone12:24
b1ack0pyes12:24
cfhowlettwhoa now!  the ONLY way to install INSIDE windows is either to a vitualbox or the now dead and defunct wubi method12:24
JonopolyLike with all installations make sure you back up all windows incase you make a mistake12:24
b1ack0pi didnt try new versions12:24
JonopolyJusst remove the partition you created, and select install alongside12:25
Jonopolythanks me later12:25
TJ-b1ack0p: anyhow, getting back to your broken install...12:25
b1ack0pJonopoly: well last year i did same thing to same ssd on diff. machine without problem12:25
b1ack0pTJ-: thx12:25
TJ-b1ack0p: ... from the log I can see you've 5 MBR partitions on a 240G drive12:25
b1ack0pTJ-: 1 windows system partition 2 ubuntu swap12:26
b1ack0p5 ?12:26
b1ack0pit suppose to be 412:26
b1ack0poh 1 is flash drive12:26
TJ-b1ack0p: "sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 >"12:26
b1ack0pok12:26
b1ack0pubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 > bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'12:27
TJ-b1ack0p: no worries anyhow; lets collect some information so we know what you have. "pastebinit <( lsblk -f; blkid /dev/sda*; mount )"12:27
b1ack0pthx12:27
TJ-b1ack0p:haha sorry, that list of partitions was just me quoting from your kernel log12:27
b1ack0pit is ok :)12:28
b1ack0phttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j7KsdnYVDd/12:28
b1ack0pthis is the result12:28
TJ-b1ack0p: so you've got Linux in sda312:29
b1ack0pyep12:29
TJ-b1ack0p: shall we create a chroot and go into it to see if it can re-build grub correctly?12:29
b1ack0psda1 - windows system reserved sda2-windows sda3-ubuntu sda5-swap12:29
b1ack0pok12:30
TJ-b1ack0p: "sudo -i" to gain root privileges12:30
b1ack0pok i am root now12:30
b1ack0pyesterday i tried boot repair tool12:30
TJ-b1ack0p: then "mkdir /target ; mount /dev/sda3 /target"12:30
b1ack0pbut it shows both sda1 and sda2 for windows12:30
b1ack0pTJ-: mkdir /target ; mount /dev/sda3 /target  - done12:31
TJ-b1ack0p: then "for n in proc sys dev etc/resolv.conf; do mount --rbind /$n /target/$n; done "12:31
cfhowlettyep.  the windows restore partition and the windows installed OS12:31
TJ-b1ack0p: that command should complete without printing anything12:31
b1ack0pfor n in proc sys dev etc/resolv.conf; do mount --rbind /$n /target/$n; done  ?12:31
TJ-b1ack0p: yes, issue that command all in one line12:31
b1ack0pok12:32
TJ-b1ack0p: you can copy and paste all the commands I give you12:32
TJ-b1ack0p: ok, now you can enter that installation with "chroot /target"12:32
b1ack0pok12:32
TJ-b1ack0p: after that you're now working inside the broken install, NOT the live installer :)12:32
b1ack0phmm12:32
TJ-b1ack0p: first, do "mount -a" to ensure all required file systems are mounted12:32
b1ack0pdone12:33
b1ack0pmount -a didnt return anythng12:33
b1ack0pchroot too12:33
TJ-b1ack0p: now two commands to ensure GRUB boot-loader is installed correctly. Tell us if either reports an error. First "update-grub"  and check you see it include the Windows install in the list of operating systems it finds12:34
b1ack0pas root?12:34
TJ-b1ack0p: you're always root in the chroot12:34
b1ack0pyes!12:34
b1ack0pFound Windows 10 on /dev/sda1 done root@ubuntu:/#12:34
TJ-you should see update-grub list the Ubuntu kernels and the Windows install12:34
b1ack0pyes it showed12:35
b1ack0pthank you TJ-12:35
TJ-b1ack0p: right, now do "grub-install /dev/sda"12:35
b1ack0poh not finished yet/12:35
b1ack0proot@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/sda Installing for i386-pc platform. Installation finished. No error reported.12:35
=== juboxi is now known as jubo2
TJ-b1ack0p: after that, in *theory*, the system should boot via GRUB *but* lets first check how GRUB is configured. I think it'd be good to ensure it shows its menu rather than hides it12:36
b1ack0pyes12:36
TJ-b1ack0p: you may have to install pastebinit but try this: "pastebinit /etc/default/grub"12:36
b1ack0pit doesnt let me install as root12:37
b1ack0ppastebinit12:37
TJ-b1ack0p: what error does it show?12:37
b1ack0papt install pastebinit12:37
b1ack0pthen12:37
b1ack0pE: Unable to locate package pastebinit12:37
TJ-b1ack0p: what does "cat /etc/issue" report?12:38
b1ack0proot@ubuntu:/# cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS \n \l12:38
TJ-b1ack0p: hmmm, well, pastebinit is in the main archive so should be found. This could point to some other issues so lets follow this up. does "apt-cache search -n pastebinit" report anything?12:39
cfhowlettmore /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999                  should also work12:39
b1ack0pnope12:39
b1ack0pit returns blank12:39
TJ-cfhowlett: certainly, but it looks like the package repos/dpkg/apt are broken12:39
cfhowlettreinstall time then, TJ?12:40
b1ack0ptime shows incorrect12:40
b1ack0pwhen i install win10+ubuntu it corrupts time always12:40
TJ-b1ack0p: OK, lets' get more info: "nc termbin.com 9999 < <(cat /etc/default/grub /etc/apt/sources.list )"12:41
b1ack0phttps://termbin.com/g83q12:41
TJ-b1ack0p: dealing with the apt situation first, it looks like you've got it set to use the Turkey mirror12:42
b1ack0pyes because i am in Turkey12:43
TJ-b1ack0p: so lets try to update the package lists: "apt update"12:43
b1ack0pbut i am using system in English so i m ok to change to US12:43
b1ack0pand main server12:43
TJ-b1ack0p: that *should* fetch the package lists12:43
TJ-b1ack0p: the country servers aren't for different languages, they're all the same, but hopefully coutrny mirrors are closer and faster than the main archive :)12:44
b1ack0pthe thing is that i like to use ubuntu in english but while installing it asks me location so when i set location it automatically sets server TR12:44
b1ack0pi change it later to US and server to main12:44
TJ-b1ack0p: has apt fetched the package lists now and finished ?12:45
b1ack0p83%12:46
b1ack0pi am using mobile hotspot12:46
TJ-b1ack0p: good, it's making progress then :)12:46
b1ack0pdidnt connect to actual modem i dont know why12:46
b1ack0pdone now12:46
b1ack0pReading state information... Done 373 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.12:46
TJ-b1ack0p: I was concerned the chroot wouldn't have a network connection (well, problems with name resolution (DNS))12:46
b1ack0pslow connection currently12:47
TJ-b1ack0p: well we don't want to upgrade anything right now! but try to install pastebinit again "apt install pastebinit"12:47
b1ack0pok12:47
cfhowlettfrom turkey to main repos?  slow is expected.12:47
b1ack0pdone12:47
TJ-whilst you do that I'll figure out the changes to GRUB's config to ensure the menu is shown12:47
b1ack0pcfhowlett: yes but i ddnt notice slow12:47
b1ack0pTJ-: pastebinit installed12:48
b1ack0pas root12:48
TJ-b1ack0p: And I'm ready :) now lets make GRUB show the menu at startup: "sed -i 's/\(GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=\).*/\1menu/' /etc/default/grub"12:49
b1ack0pok12:49
TJ-b1ack0p: then check that changed it with "grep '=menu' /etc/default/grub"12:49
b1ack0proot@ubuntu:/# sed -i 's/\(GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=\).*/\1menu/' /etc/default/grub root@ubuntu:/# grep '=menu' /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu12:50
TJ-b1ack0p: wonderful :) so now we change the GRUB config it uses, with "update-grub"12:50
b1ack0pupdate-grub now?12:50
b1ack0pok12:50
b1ack0pdone12:51
TJ-b1ack0p: and in theory we can leave the chroot and allow you to reboot. so do "exit" and then "sync" and the if you want give it a reboot12:51
b1ack0psync how_12:51
TJ-b1ack0p: it's a command "sync"12:51
TJ-b1ack0p: that just ensures all memory has been flushed to disk12:51
b1ack0proot@ubuntu:/# exit exit root@ubuntu:~# sync root@ubuntu:~#12:51
b1ack0pall done?12:52
b1ack0pi am rebooting now12:52
TJ-b1ack0p: you can do "exit" again if you want to get back to the ubuntu prompt , but yes, reboot12:52
b1ack0pthank you TJ-  /912:52
b1ack0p;(12:52
b1ack0p:)12:52
b1ack0pkeyboard turkish but set to english12:53
TJ-b1ack0p: don't say that until we know it works :)12:53
b1ack0pok brb then ?p12:53
b1ack0pTJ-:  thank you :)12:59
b1ack0pgrub working12:59
b1ack0pit shows windows partition sda1  which system reserved13:00
b1ack0pactual windows files are in sda213:00
b1ack0pis it normal that GRUB shows sda1 not sda2 ?13:00
TJ-b1ack0p: it's not GRUB that determines that, it's another tool called os-prober, and it can be confused ... I think there are tweaks can be made to correct it13:01
b1ack0pwhy grub is giving me problem always :/13:01
TJ-b1ack0p: it isn't, it's Windows :p13:03
b1ack0pwhen ı ask them they say it is ubuntu .p13:03
TJ-b1ack0p: the os-prober script that tries to identify bootable Windows partitions is /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft13:03
b1ack0phmm13:04
b1ack0phow can i change it to sda2 then?13:04
TJ-b1ack0p: if you look at that file you'll see how it tries to identify Windows by UTF-16 text strings embedded in the bcd file... so firstly if your system happens not to have those strings, it won't match13:05
TJ-b1ack0p: is it possible you have a Turkish Language install and those string don't exist?13:05
TJ-(Turkish language install of Windows)13:05
b1ack0pwhy?13:05
TJ-b1ack0p: because os-prober won't recognise the Windows installation if those strings aren't found13:05
TJ-b1ack0p: we could mount the sda2 and check for ourselves13:06
b1ack0pi dont have turkish version currently13:06
b1ack0pi need to download again13:06
b1ack0pi can change language but i am ok with english13:06
b1ack0pin past dealing with grub was not this difficult13:07
TJ-it's not a problem but I'm explaining why os-prober might not recognise the Windows install13:07
b1ack0p:/13:10
TJ-b1ack0p: do you want to test it, to see if we can fix it?13:12
b1ack0pok13:12
b1ack0pfor sda2 ?13:12
TJ-b1ack0p: "sudo mkdir /mnt/windows; sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows" then ...13:13
b1ack0preturned blank13:13
TJ-b1ack0p: ... " sudo sh -x /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows ntfs |& tee /tmp/probe.log "13:13
b1ack0pTJ-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qzfbz5SKyR/13:14
TJ-b1ack0p: according to that there is no Windows install in sda2 :)13:16
TJ-b1ack0p: show is "pastebinit <( ls -latr /mnt/windows )"13:16
b1ack0pwhat?13:16
b1ack0phow possible13:16
TJ-b1ack0p: it tests for all the windows boot-loader files and doesn't find them13:17
b1ack0phttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QdN3WXsXS2/13:17
b1ack0p:S13:17
TJ-b1ack0p: well, looking at that list, I don't see the expected files either. What version of Windows is supposed to be in there?13:18
b1ack0p1013:18
b1ack0platest version13:18
b1ack0p1903 built13:18
TJ-b1ack0p: I'm not familiar with its layout but I'd exect to see the /boot/ directory and/or the bootmgr/ntldr and similar files.13:18
b1ack0phmm13:19
TJ-Anyone else here got a Windows 10 install they could compare with b1ack0p's file list to tell us what is missing?13:19
TJ-b1ack0p: the reason os-prober listed sda1 (recovery) is because those files to exist there13:19
b1ack0pmaybe sda1 is the normal to boot?13:20
TJ-b1ack0p: but it seems like sda2 has got broken somehow. I wonder if you should try booting into the Windows Recovery? but if you do it may well replace the GRUB bootloader (again!) and you'd have to use the live CD to fix it (again!)13:20
b1ack0phttps://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjNh4Cwk_jiAhVHUlAKHUftD48Qjxx6BAgBEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.itzgeek.com%2Fhow-tos%2Flinux%2Fubuntu-how-tos%2Fhow-to-install-ubuntu-18-04-alongside-with-windows-10-or-8-in-dual-boot.html&psig=AOvVaw2o775-Q5sEv_vbC3qox39d&ust=156112320450638613:20
b1ack0phere in the screenshot grub menu shows sda1 also13:21
b1ack0pif sda2 had boot then it would exist in grub13:21
TJ-b1ack0p: I don't think so based on earlier output: "/dev/sda1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="1098B4BE98B4A39E" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="f8b1ced8-01""13:21
TJ-b1ack0p: do "sudo umount /mnt/windows" then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows" and then "pastebinit <( ls -latr /mnt/windows)"13:22
b1ack0pTJ-: when i check screenshots all written sda1 for windows13:23
b1ack0pTJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PPSWNBpbXc/13:24
TJ-b1ack0p: they may all be wrong, then, unless win10 has changed things and has a separate boot partition13:24
TJ-b1ack0p: I can see that has a /boot/ directory so maybe Win10 does boot from the system-reserved partition. I've not used/installed Windows since 2004 time!13:25
TJ-b1ack0p: one way to find out though ... try booting into it :)13:25
TJ-b1ack0p: "sudo umount /mnt/windows"13:25
b1ack0pwow 15 years no windows13:25
TJ-b1ack0p: yeah; magical13:26
b1ack0pi tried yesterday13:26
b1ack0pi used boot repair tool13:26
b1ack0pand it restored grub13:26
b1ack0pbut windows showed  both sda1 and sda213:26
b1ack0pboth was booting to win1013:26
TJ-b1ack0p: then something may be broken on the Windows side, but I'm not familiar enough with it to be sure13:27
b1ack0pok13:27
b1ack0plet me try this way13:27
b1ack0pbrb13:27
akemHey, is "dmesg" output tied to a real file on the filesystem? /var/log/something for ex?13:27
TJ-b1ack0p: it could be that both actually use the boot-loader files in sda113:27
b1ack0pthx again TJ-13:27
b1ack0ppossible13:27
b1ack0pbrb13:28
TJ-akem: no, dmesg reads /proc/kmsg13:28
akemTJ-, Ok thanks TJ-.13:28
TJ-akem: but usually the syslog daemon, or systemd-journald, read that and copy it to files, e.g. syslog will copy to /var/log/dmesg13:28
TJ-akem: you can view it also using "journalctl -k"13:28
akemTJ-, Ok thanks for the info, yeah i was looking for a file like this, but couldn't find it.13:29
ace_mehow can I grep in some log files for both ERROR and CRITICAL words please ?13:30
Mudchainshi all, is there a channel/support for ubuntu landscape?13:31
TJ-akem: for previous boots "journalctl --list-boots" then "journalctl -b -X" where X is the boot ID13:31
lotus|i5Mudchains: think you need to contact with canonical directly for that13:31
lotus|i5!landscape13:32
ubottuLandscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/13:32

ace_mereally :) ?13:45
TJ-ace_me: "man zgrep"13:45
ace_mean d your way is faster ?13:45
TJ-ace_me: you'd have to measure it, but it is certainly easier most of the time13:46
TJ-ace_me: the only time "-r" isn't helpful is if you don't want it to search sub-directories as well13:46
ace_methz13:49
ace_methx*13:49
ace_meTJ-:  grep -rn 'ERROR|CRITICAL' /var/log | grep -E "id1|id2" seems to not work... I mean chaining 2 grep13:53
akemace_me, add -E to the first grep too.13:54
ace_methank you :)13:55
TJ-ace_me: -E is extended grep; without it you have to escape the OR as in "grep -rn 'ERROR\|CRITICAL' /var/log ...13:55
TJ-I have grep aliases to egrep for that reason13:56

supermasterblastrunning the boot-repair utility, but so far it has not worked. I have a 3 disk raid array and lvm with a seporate boot and root partitions. I have selected in stalling grub to /sda /sdb /sdc, but it just crashes during boot. I never even see the boot loader though I do see a buch of text fly by sometimes before it crashes. Should I install grub to /dev/md1 or /dev/dm-0 or /dev/dm-1 ?   /dev/dm-0 it says is boot, /dev/dm-1 it says is root15:01
supermasterblast/dev/md1 is obviously the raid array15:02

islandmonkeeelordcirth: Lenovo Z50015:13
pragmaticenigmaislandmonkeee: without the password to the BIOS I don't believe there is anyway to resolve it through that avenue. Lenovo intentionally designs their laptops such that BIOS passwords cannot be reset or forcefully cleared. I would recommend that check to make sure the cables between the keyboard and mouse haven't come loose and reseat them in their connectors.15:21
lordcirthislandmonkeee, hmm, I don't see any way to crack that.15:21
islandmonkeeepragmaticenigma: alright sure, I'll take it apart and see what is happening hardware-wise15:22
pragmaticenigmaislandmonkeee: I know that my laptops have required such an operation after a couple years of being jostled around in transport15:23

eraserpencil212:09:37 AM - eraserpencil2: It's either i messed up a downgrade of cuda or a windows update messed something up, i couldnt get my ubuntu 16.04( cant use any other distro for reasons) working the way it used to. Currently, only combi of LX DM + i3 works as expected. other D.Es have weird behavior (ubuntu's unity not having tiling properly, gnome not showing anything). other DMs prevent me from going to tty7 and logging into root/us16:32

eraserpencil2hmmm any way to remove lightdm without installing the suggested gdm3?16:37
tomreyneraserpencil2: mayne   apt -o 'APT::Install-Suggests false' purge lightdm16:42

eraserpencil2i have err weird display bugs, wanna remove all dms and se what i get16:43
eraserpencil2and i have ~/.xinitrc with a single line that starts a de16:44

tomreynmaybe it's rather a recommends than a suggests?16:45

eraserpencil2dosent work16:46
tomreynyou could explicitly list both packages to be purged16:48
tomreynso the resolver will consider other options16:48
styledashi think 'apt install lightdm gdm3-' would work maybe16:48
styledashto install without a dependency16:49
eraserpencil2haha apt  now suggests sddm. apt dosent wanna leave me without a dm16:49
tomreynsee, it identifies your errors and helps you fix them16:50
styledashoh i gotcha... you want to remove all login managers16:50
styledashwould say just start from the bare ubuntu server install lol16:50
eraserpencil2hmmm, else could you perhaps spare a few minutes looking at my error i posted earlier? I feel its a bug or a misconfigured file with X/dm/de16:53

Richard_CavellHi everyone. I heard about "snap" packages today, that get installed into /snap.  What is the relationship between a snap package and an apt-style package?  Are they two separate methods of installing software?18:17
sarnoldyes, completely separate systems, though building snap packages can make easy use of debs provided in ubuntu for dependencies (which are copied into the snap package itself)18:18
subcoolweird question. I've been noticing a lot of IO errors coming from an external HDD. Its really been acting up. So, as i try to back it up, it acts up even more. Now its on a completely diffent computer, and acting fine. wtf?18:19
sarnoldit oculd be a bad usb switch, usb cables, controller, maybe power supply..18:21
Richard_Cavellsarnold, is snap related to ubuntu, or is it something that any Linux distro can use?18:22
sarnoldRichard_Cavell: snap works on a handful of other distributions, but probably works best on ubuntu and derived distributions18:22
subcoolsarnold, plugged directly into my laptop. i considered the cable too, so i switched it with my other drive, same effect.18:22
netametaWell there's defintely some issue with vmware and ubuntu - it wont boot getting stucked on splash, nomodeset fixes the problem but then i cannot resize the window all the way18:22
subcoolThats whats odd, i was considering either the wire, or the laptop itself. buti relaly only see errors on the one drive, i think? lol18:23
sarnoldRichard_Cavell: there's some notes on other distros on https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snapd18:23
sarnoldsubcool: very odd :/18:23
subcoolnvm., just went down.18:23
subcoollol18:23
subcoolit might be the controller on the drive itself.18:23
subcoolfor the enclosure...18:23
subcoolit had ONE error, and disconnected.18:24
subcoolyeah, its seen via lsusb - but not an option as a drive anymore..18:25
supermasterblastmy system is dead after upgrade. The grub boot loader doesn't come up. I have tried the fix boot-fix .iso for ubuntu and it apparently reinstalled grub and so forth, but still no luck booting. the system booted fine before the upgrade, so it seems like the upgrade messed up something. I am not sure what to do to fix the problem18:30
subcoolsilence is always a good thing18:30

subcoolOk, so im pretty srue this drive should have SMART - how come its not coming up?18:41
tomreynsubcool: 'tunnelling' SMART requests through USB / USB enclosure controllers does not always work. you could try disassembling it and attach the drive directly.18:44
subcooltomreyn, considering that as my next thing, but there are a ton of IO errors.18:49
EriC^^subcool: bad wiring?18:51
subcoolsecond wire.18:51
subcoolunless they are both bad, but im not getting errors from my second drive.18:52
sarnoldmaybe busted port? bad memory on the laptop?18:52
subcoolwith all these errors, it has to be a bad disk. Over heating maybe. if i keep my hand on it,, it works.. once it warms up... it stops. but im assume.18:53
subcool::sigh:: WD passport.18:53
tomreynmy sympathies.18:54
subcoolthanks.. oh well.18:55
subcooli was hoping to crack the case too and maybe it was jsut the usb controller.18:55
tomreynhttps://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices#idVendor0x100018:56
tomreynmaybe try with "-d sat" but i'd think it's normally auto-detect that18:58
subcooli have brought up two programs with smart, and everythng says it doesnt have it.18:59
subcoolpast that, i never mess with it.19:00
EriC^^subcool: maybe you could lower its rpm enough to get the data off? im not sure how hdds actually work just a thought19:01

lordcirthAlexPortable, does it stop working while you are using it, or when it sleeps?19:25
AlexPortablei'm not sure, i think when using it19:26
lordcirthI see "wake requested" in the logs19:26
lordcirthBut I think that might be the connection, not the PC19:26
lordcirthAlexPortable, how have you been fixing it? Reboot?19:27
lordcirthAlexPortable, can you also pastebin 'dmesg'?19:28
AlexPortablei can either reboot, or put the computer to standby and wake it up, that will fix it19:28
AlexPortableor unplugging the connection for 1-2 minutes and plugging it back in again19:28
AlexPortabledmesg now or when it breaks again?19:29
AlexPortablebecause last time i posted dmesg and someone told me to post the output of network manager19:29

EriC^^b1ack0p: it's likely /media/<your username>/<filesystem label or uuid>19:49
b1ack0psorry drop and drag copies not creating shortcut19:49
b1ack0pand "send to" doing something else19:49
EriC^^b1ack0p: ln creates a softlink, that would work as a shortcut19:50
b1ack0pEriC^^: thx19:50
EriC^^b1ack0p: mount windows from nautilus, then type "df" and see where it's mounted (the path) and use that with ln -s19:50
b1ack0pdoes it work for any folder i wanna put?19:50
EriC^^b1ack0p: yes, softlinks work across filesystems, hdd's, etc19:51
EriC^^b1ack0p: it won't mount windows for you though, you'll still need to manually mount it, or have it automount using fstab when the pc boots19:51

phibsthought about it ;)20:10
TJ-phibs: that is correct, 127.0.0.53 is the local systemd-resolved stub resolver20:22
TJ-phibs: if you want to add your own DNS, add them to the NM connection itself20:23
phibsTJ-: yeah I did, it would not use them :)20:23
phibsno worries, I gave up and am using resolved now which is pointing at my configured servers20:24

akem_I have 2 Wifi nets here, and on that other laptop i just installed Ubuntu, only one Wifi shows up in the list, is it possible because it's using WPA2? cause the only differences between the 2 networks is WPA and WPA2...20:30
akem_I see other Wifis from the neighboors...20:31
TJ-akem_: are they in the same frequency band?20:31
akem_TJ-, Yes 2.4 Ghz.20:32
akem_TJ-, but not the same channel, one is 11 the other is 13.20:32
akem_TJ-, It's on a fresh Ubuntu install, i touched nothing yet, just wanted to connect it to the net there.20:33
TJ-akem_: aha! channel 13 is a Europe regional channel; I bet the PC not seeing it is set to the US region which can only go up to channel 1120:33
TJ-akem_: what does "iw reg get | grep country" report ?20:34
TJ-akem_: (on the PC with the problem)20:34
akem_TJ-, country 00:DFS-UNSET20:35
akem_I choosed english language when installing with french keymap, the computer was bought in France i think, i'm in France btw.20:37
TJ-akem_: how about "iw list | grep -A 17 Frequencies" (pastebin the result)20:37
akem_Just a sec, i'll try to connect it to the working net, it'll be easier.20:38
rgiesigeHopefully this is the right place to ask this question: I have a internal DNS server that has local FQDN's for inside my house. When I boot up ubuntu it works fine for a little while (10-15 minutes) then after that I can't resolve any of the internal names. But if I do nslookup and connect to the server to do lookups it works fine.20:42
rgiesigeIs there something wrong with the dnsmasq on my laptop?20:42
TJ-rgiesige: I'm going to guess the system is using systemd-resolved, and you're using NetworkManager to configure the connection. Is that correct?20:44
jeremy31akem_: What wifi are you using?20:44
akemTJ-, https://pastebin.com/HtBvF2B420:45
rgiesigeTJ- Yes that should be correct, this is a brand new install of Ubuntu 19.20:46
TJ-akem: hmmm, channel 13 is avaiable BUT "(no IR)" means "do not Initiate Radiation"20:46
rgiesigeIt looks like the default resolution server is my laptop and that it man in the middle the requests for something20:46
TJ-akem: if the AP can do band 2 (802.11a 5GHz) I'd use that for starters (less crowded)20:46
TJ-rgiesige: is your PC using DHCP ?20:47
rgiesigeyes it is20:47
akemjeremy31, a netgear router(the one i don't see) and a freebox one, the one i'm connected too, the chipset with the issue is Broadcom Limited BCM43225 802.11b/g/n20:47
rgiesigethis is the /etc/resolv.conf20:47
rgiesigenameserver 127.0.0.53 options edns020:47
TJ-rgiesige: in the Network Manager Connection Editor for the connection, have you added a manual override for the DNS server?20:47
TJ-rgiesige: ignore /etc/resolv.conf, advice you've likely read about changing that is so wrong it makes me want to cry!20:48
akemTJ-, there is a 5Ghz network too but i don't see it either on that laptop, i thought because it was maybe too old that was normal.20:48
jeremy31akem: So you are using the proprietary Broadcom module?  I haven't seen that work on a 2.4GHz channel over 11 on Linux ever20:48
rgiesigeI can do that right now and test20:48
rgiesigebut why would I need to do that, shouldn't the dynamic connection DNS be fine.20:49
rgiesigeevery other system that I have is working fine, just not the ubuntu laptop20:49
TJ-rgiesige: I'm trying to determine if, in the Network Manager connection, you're using the DHCP assigned DNS server IP, or have over-ridden it with another DNS entry20:49
akemjeremy31, I'm not sure it is the proprietary but when installing Ubuntu i checked the "install proprietary" box.20:49
rgiesigeno, I'm using the DHCP provided one sorry20:49
TJ-rgiesige: if this PC is *only* using the network-allocated DHCP values and you haven't over-ridden them locally, then the fault would likely be network connectivity20:50
jeremy31akem: Best option is to use a channel between 1-11 if you want 2.4 GHz20:50
TJ-rgiesige: the way it works is this:20:50
rgiesigeThat doesn't make sense20:50
rgiesigeif I do nslookup server {server name} and then do lookup it works fine20:50
rgiesigeif I reboot the systemd server for DNS it works fine again for 10-15 minutes20:51
TJ-rgiesige: systemd-resolved provides a local DNS stub resolver that listens on 127.0.0.53 (that's what is in /etc/resolv.conf). It also answers glibc NSS API lookups (the C functions gethostnbyname() etc.)20:51
rgiesigesystemd service*20:51
TJ-rgiesige: now, the stub resolver will use the upstream DNS server(s) provided by DHCP20:51
akemjeremy31, Ok, thanks, i'll try to see if i can change the channel on my router.20:51
akemThanks TJ- too.20:51
rgiesigebut it's not using my local DNS server, it's failing down the chain for some reason20:52
TJ-rgiesige: usually systemd-resolved fails *if* the DNS server it is trying to query doesn't respond. If that happens, and there are multiple DNS servers provided by DHCP or manually, it'll move on to another in its list.20:52
rgiesigeI just tried nslookup and it worked when I switched to the server20:53
rgiesigeis there another test I should do?20:53
jeremy31rgiesige: using wifi or ethernet?20:53
TJ-rgiesige: that would work; you're going outside the local system.20:53
rgiesigeis it maybe something on the pihole that I blocking that is causing it to fail?20:53
TJ-rgiesige: show us "resolvectl --status" in a pastebin please20:53
rgiesigeThere a specific url it checks to resolve being up?20:53
rgiesigesorry fqdn that it checks*20:53

rgiesigeokay I'm back20:59
OerHeksbrb20:59
rgiesigeI had to disconnect and reconnect but now that I have the server for DNS hardcoded it works fine.20:59
TJ-rgiesige: show us "resolvectl --status" in a pastebin please20:59
rgiesigeokay should I switch back to the dynamicaly provided DNS from my DHCP server?21:01
akem321jeremy31, TJ- Ok i changed the channel to 11 and i can connect now.21:03
rgiesigehttps://pastebin.com/CRuZBZgY21:06
rgiesigeSo I reconnected to my wifi, and had it dynamically assign the DHCP servers. It is working right now but in 10 minutes or so it will stop.21:07
TJ-rgiesige: right, line 43 onwards shows the problem21:08
TJ-rgiesige: are all 4 of those DNS servers being passed by DHCP server?21:08
TJ-sorry, three DNS servers21:08
rgiesigeyes21:09
rgiesigelooking in my pi-hole to see what my IP has requested that has been blocked.21:10
TJ-right, so my original explanation holds and is confirmed by that21:11
rgiesigeonly block that I saw in the last 100 requests was to analytics.google.com21:11
TJ-you say it is your *internal* names that fail to resolve21:11
rgiesigeThat it times out and then disable it for all requests?21:11
rgiesigeyes that makes sense but I'm wanting to figure out "WHY"21:12
rgiesigenone of my other systems ever have this problem21:12
TJ-rgiesige: I told you why21:12
rgiesigebut why would it do it after 10 minutes21:12
rgiesigeIf I can resolve my internal names it should have it in cache for the ttl21:13
TJ-rgiesige: resolved start off using 192.168.1.25... at some point it fails to get replies from that server, so it switches to 1.1.1.1 ... and cloudflare cannot resolve your internal names so those lookups fail21:13
rgiesigeWould there be a log or some debug that I can do.21:13
rgiesigeI have other linux systems and windows systems that never stop resolving these names21:13
jeremy31rgiesige: It might be a wifi issue21:14
TJ-rgiesige: so, assuming the failing lookups are UDP (smaller request packets) not TCP, then likely the packets are being dropped by a router under pressure21:14
TJ-rgiesige: or as jeremy31 says ^^^ wifi21:14
rgiesigemy router is at 8% of use and my wifi is at 20%21:14
rgiesigeI have ubiquiti stuff21:14
rgiesigeso I can look up those stats21:14
gabrielcrgiesige: tcpdump -nn -i interfacename port 5321:14
jeremy31rgiesige: good info on preferred wifi settings https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2354328&p=13614520&#post1361452021:15
TJ-rgiesige: but the problem is, as far as resolved is concerted, 192.168.1.25 has stopped responding. Now, I also thing you've got the DNS set up wrong. I'd have the 192.128.1.25 set to forward to 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 but would NOt have those handed out to clients else you will hit this issue. Clients sohuld only get 192.168.1.2521:15
TJ-my typing is getting worse!21:16
rgiesigebut if I have to do maintenance on 192.168.1.25 then I want systems to continue to be able to get to the internet21:16
rgiesigeso that is why I have them.21:16
TJ-rgiesige: so have another slave DNS server in your local network.21:16
rgiesigeyeah that's true, I could do that on a docker in my server21:17
rgiesigedocker container*21:17
TJ-rgiesige: you cannot expect this to work the way you expect; resolved does NOT do round-robin queries of all those DNS server, it just uses the secondaries as backups and switches to them when the primary fails. So once it switches to Cloudflare it won't switch back to your LAN DNS server21:17
rgiesigeyeah I understand that, but I just want to know why it's failing21:18
rgiesigeI want the error message or systemctl log that says it failed21:18
rgiesigeAs  I said I don't have problems with any other device on wifi.21:18
TJ-rgiesige: have you thought about using mDSN localling? hostname.local, I use that quite successfully with avahi-daemon running21:18
TJ-rgiesige: right, but you *could* if they suffered connectivity problems too21:19
rgiesigeI can boot the same system into Windows and it works fine.21:19
TJ-rgiesige: which points to a fault with the wifi device/driver combination21:19
TJ-rgiesige: have you checked the kernel logs for clues when this occurs?21:19
rgiesigehow would I do that?21:19

usneyhello what are the security issues with having a laptop auto login?21:21
usneyI tried to make the password as simple as possible to remember while ubuntu not complaining that it is a weak password and my friend who is much older than me can't input it in the computer.21:22
usneySo I have now just setup his laptop to autologin and have screen lock disabled.21:22
TJ-rgiesige: when it happens: "journalctl -b --since="5 minutes ago"21:25
rgiesigeshould it come from systemd-resolv21:27
rgiesigeso I could filter on that? or should I just look for general errors? -e21:27
TJ-rgiesige: forget the DNS side, you're looking for signs of network device/connection problems21:32
TJ-rgiesige: temporary failures would cause resolved to switch to a backup server21:33
TJ-rgiesige: you could also check the invalid/retries counts of "iwconfig" and see if they increase rapidly or are large (check repeatedly over time)21:33
AlexPortablegabrielc: tried it with a static ip, the network icon doesn't keep going up and down anymore now, but still no connectivity. ping results 'network unreachable'21:34
cgiI am running a ssh server on an ubuntu box. Am unable to ssh into the box. ufw is not active.21:34

rgiesigeAlso  Iwent thorugh and the only error I have from resolv is the MDNS issue21:37
jeremy31rgiesige: does iwconfig show power management being on?21:38
TJ-rgiesige: if we can't see the info we ask for we cannot really help21:48
gabrielcAlexPortable: when the problem is present run: ethtool interfacename -enter. and check the link status. first check that you have ethtool command21:48

TJ-I've spent the last 3 hours trying to solve noise on the monitor outputs of the 20 channel hardware mixer of the Ubuntu Studio digital audio workstation here... only to finally discover the first 2 ports are affected where I have the monitors connected, but all the others are fine... as always - just move the darned cables!21:54
TJ-rgiesige: the retries/invalid counts look OK21:54
rgiesigeokay cool. I'm going to just see if turning off power management on the network card resolves the issue. If it doesn't I'm going to setup the second pi-hole DNS resolver on a docker container21:56
TJ-rgiesige: and I have the identical device here "02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 [8086:095a] (rev 59)" and don't experience issues with it so it's not a general issue. That makes me consider radio interference, so consider other devices in the same frequency band. If 2.4GHz then that includes bluetooth device21:57
TJ-rgiesige: I'd set up a connection monitor between two hosts on your network, maybe pings both ways and check if either sees dropped packets21:57
rgiesigeIt should be on the 5Ghz network.21:57
TJ-rgiesige: so it ought to be out the way of microwaves and baby alarms :)21:58
rgiesigeyeah that's very true!21:58
TJ-rgiesige: it's not... "  Frequency:2.462 GHz"21:58
TJ-rgiesige: could it be hopping frequencies from 2.4 to 5?21:58
TJ-rgiesige: I presume you've got a dual-band AP21:59
rgiesigeyeah I do.21:59
jeremy31rgiesige: another thing to try   echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwl-opt.conf21:59
TJ-rgiesige: so band hopping is another thing to look for when it occurs. that WILL show up in the logs because NetworkManager/wpa_supplicant will re-associated21:59
jeremy31That enables aggressive TX21:59
SimonNLbinding the connection  to the AP s  mac maybe22:00
TJ-I have to focus on editing 3 hours of audio transcription now so shall be away from the PC22:00
SimonNLthe 5Ghz mac that is22:01
jeremy31SimonNL: Or have the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz have different SSID's22:01
rgiesigeTHanks for your help TJ-22:02
SimonNLthere are two options \o/22:02
rgiesigehehe yeah thanks SimonNL22:02
JonopolyIs it possible to control the fan with ubunti?22:02
rgiesigeIt should choose the 5Ghz I wonder why it's not22:03
JonopolyI've got FN key for fan speed (which works on windows..)22:03
SimonNLI'd go for the bssid option22:03
SimonNLrgiesige: maybe you have different AP s set to auto connect22:04
rgiesigeSimonNL: I have one AP in the house and it provides both 2.4GHz and 5GHz22:04
rgiesigeso I'll see what happens and come back later22:05
rgiesigeThanks for your help guys22:05
SimonNLok    and configured connections to both and both set to auto connect ?22:05

sarnoldbecause the apt package manager doesn't know what you've got installed, it just knows the linux package requires these to be installed23:36
Gallomimiaintel-microcode: microcode will be updated at next boot23:36
Gallomimia..... please dont.23:36
