[00:01] <OerHeks> sure you can build ubuntu packages yourself, but why waste such huge time?
[00:01] <sondre> actually I have a pending upload of 4.7MB
[00:02] <KNERD> OerHeks: For learning, and experimentation
[00:03] <KNERD> I guess I can ask on the -dev channel
[00:03] <tomreyn> #ubuntu-app-devel
[00:03] <sondre> tatertotsI-ve tried three time but the upload remains in pending state
[00:04] <KNERD> i want to build the whole OS, not an app
[00:04] <sondre> tatertots I-ve tried with smaller files and it works.. could there be a limit in siza?
[00:05] <amazoniantoad> I'm trying to boot into xen but the system hangs on "initial ramdisk" this is an efi system
[00:08] <sondre> tatertots  don-t know why it is not uploading, now that I have the file here can I pastebin the info you consider to be useful?
[00:12] <sondre> To sum it up I have a working 19.10 system, with connectivity, with something wrong with the RX 580 driver. It boots, asks for password (full ecnrypted disk), mount partitions but goes to blank screen. Only way to access it using recovery mode -> root shell.. anyone can help me in making work the video card again?
[00:20] <sondre> inxi -Fxxprzc0 show n/a in the driver section for the video card (AMD RX 580)
[00:20] <sondre> how can I install the ubuntu driver?
[00:23] <amazoniantoad>  I fixed my previous issue with hwmatch. But now when I try to boot the system hangs on "initial ramdisk". The system runs efi and dwfreed I tried to configure xen to run efi but Idk if this issue is relevant to ramdisk
[00:25] <tatertots> sondre: the kernel supplied driver goes by the name radeon or ati
[00:26] <tatertots> sondre: if you run> ubuntu-drivers devices
[00:26] <tatertots> sondre: does it show anything besides cpu micro code
[00:28] <sondre> tatertots  it shows nothing (neither cpu)
[00:32] <sondre> I was watching the Xorg log and I see  that X has a modulepath set to a directory that doesn-t exist anymore
[00:33] <sondre> but that should be another problem I think..
[00:33] <tatertots> sondre: i just saw your msg
[00:43] <FaTaL_G> after boot, I see in dmesg: "ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.PRT0._GTF.DSSP], AE_NOT_FOUND (20181213/psargs-330)" where should I look first to find out how to resolve it?
[00:47] <jayjo> ive been having a lot of bluetooth problems on my machine, and i recently got a pair of bluetooth headphones that i know work that I still cant connect reliably (or at all even). Are there additional drivers that need to be installed in order to get a bluetooth dongle working on Ubuntu? lsusb gives me `Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0`. I'm at step 0. Does the kernel manage these sorts of connections
[00:47] <jayjo> with drivers that I need to manually update?
[00:49] <jayjo> I have had this same type of problem with connecting ANY bluetooth device with this dongle. It used to work reliably, however, on a previous version. Not sure when, this is a work machine and I didn't notice which actual update caused it to stop working. May even have been a software update. Now I'm on ubuntu 19.103
[00:53] <jayjo> ubuntu 19.10
[00:55] <tomreyn> FaTaL_G: bios update. see     journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:'     to get your model and current version
[01:04] <shibboleth> what is the purpose of "cloud-initramfs-copymods" and why in the name of... whatever does it keep messing with /lib/modules?
[01:08] <pragmaticenigma> shibboleth, manages initramfs modules by copying them into root filesystem for later use
[01:08] <pragmaticenigma> part of an automation setup
[01:09] <sondre> following your advices I'm installing the OS.. made a USB with 19.10 just started it but I receive a failed to execute / init (error -2).. what is it now?
[01:09] <tomreyn> shibboleth: apt show cloud-initramfs-copymods 2>/dev/null | grep -A999 ^Description:
[01:09] <shibboleth> ...and somehow manages to mount initramfs modules as an overlay onto the running rootfs
[01:11] <shibboleth> making damn sure i can't do much about the stuff actually in /lib/modules unless i boot to recovery media
[01:11] <shibboleth> this appears to be limited to those poor deluded souls using lvm for root
[01:13] <tomreyn> like... a default ubuntu server installation would do.
[01:13] <jayjo> I found this https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=291426 detailing a driver issue for this bluetooth dongle on mint. What is a hcd file?
[01:14] <tomreyn> jayjo: a "host controller driver", i would think
[01:14] <tomreyn> i.e. firmware
[01:16] <shibboleth> tomreyn, niche case indeed
[01:19] <shibboleth> so, i remove "cloud-initramfs-copymods" and i'm left with /lib/modules for a kernel i'm no longer running and i am therefore unable to generate a initramfs
[01:19] <shibboleth> sweet
[01:19] <shibboleth> suggestions?
[01:20] <tomreyn> /join #ubuntu-server
[01:24] <shibboleth> are there any configs that govern this behavior, how do i defang this stuff?
[01:26] <pragmaticenigma> shibboleth, What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[01:26] <shibboleth> bionic
[01:27] <pragmaticenigma> Desktop or Server?
[01:27] <brobert> hi guys I have 19.10.1 server
[01:27] <shibboleth> -desktop
[01:27] <brobert> Im setting the netplan config, and now I follow instructions to restart the networking
[01:28] <brobert> however, this instruction ...  systemctl restart system-networkd
[01:28] <shibboleth> brobert, save yourself a lot of trouble and replace netplan with ifupdown
[01:28] <brobert> doesnt work, seems 19.10 server doesnt use system-networkd
[01:28] <brobert> shibboleth, ok, ehm, just asking because comes vanilla with that
[01:29] <brobert> problem is system-networkd is not there
[01:29] <brobert> so something changed from 18 to 19
[01:29] <tomreyn> brobert: for ubuntu server, please /join #ubuntu-server
[01:29] <pragmaticenigma> shibboleth, Please don't ... ifupdown is not a supported configuration anymore and isn't compatible with the other features and configurations of Ubuntu
[01:31] <shibboleth> yes, and i assume that any complications caused by such features are, as always, offtopic?
[01:31] <pragmaticenigma> brobert, usually those commands are systemd-networkd ... i believe you might want to check that you aren't missing the letter "d" after system
[01:31] <pragmaticenigma> shibboleth, yes
[01:33] <shibboleth> pragmaticenigma, so ubuntu roll replace standard stuff with their own shizzle and if said shizzle causes problems well, that's just life and offtopic?
[01:33] <shibboleth> 'cuz that's what you just said
[01:34] <pragmaticenigma> shibboleth, currently your line of questioning is offtopic. please stop.
[01:41] <pragmaticenigma> brobert, did that help?
[01:46] <tomreyn> pragmaticenigma: i invited brobert to #ubuntu-server and we're discussing it there.
[01:47] <pragmaticenigma> tomreyn, thanks for the update
[01:47] <tomreyn> yw
[02:23] <jayjo> tomreyn: I was able to get the device to connect (and stay connected! that's a huge step!) but now I can't actually get an audio to stream. Typically do I need to install audio drivers onto my motherboard/audio card in order to detect a bluetooth speaker (the headphones) or does a different software layer determine where it can stream?
[02:24] <jayjo> when it connected, should it have detected that it's an audio streaming device, and the kernel would allow that as a sound option in system preferences?
[02:27] <tomreyn> jayjo: as i menationed before, i'm really not into bluetooth nor audio debugging, but you can use thse commands i told you about to get a better idea of what's (not) happening.
[02:28] <tomreyn> !bluetooth
[02:28] <OerHeks> the bluez ppa helped me a lot over the standard bt app
[02:29] <OerHeks> * for bionic
[02:32] <jayjo> what would be the best mailing list (or something else) to try and figure this out on? This has been an annoying problem for a few months on my work machine. I had a bluetooth keyboard before that I had to buy a wireless keyboard with a dedicated dongle to get to work, for example. I'm ok with working on it snail-mail style, but I do think I'd like to figure out what's happening here a bit more (or like you
[02:32] <jayjo> said, what's not happening here)
[02:39] <jayjo> appreciate your help either way... made more progress last 48 hours than the last two months!
[03:10] <amazoniantoad> So I have been trying to configure this fresh install of ubuntu on a laptop I got for christmas. It's an asus zenbook pro duo, it has two displays both of which are touchscreen. However, when I try to touch the second display the input is sensed on the primary display. How can I fix this?
[03:11] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, not sure if there is a fix yet... that's really really new hardware, there might not be drivers yet
[03:11] <pragmaticenigma> or proper configuration
[03:11] <amazoniantoad> dang
[03:12] <OerHeks> known issue, multi touch and one device primairy
[03:12] <amazoniantoad> Yeah I apparently can't even get xen properly running on it so I had to ditch it
[03:12] <lotuspsychje> try unity desktop, touch support might have other influences there amazoniantoad
[03:12] <amazoniantoad> thanks
[03:15] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, it's possible othe distros that sit closer to bleeding edge might have in roads to getting it to work properly
[03:16] <OerHeks> how about wayland session?
[03:16] <amazoniantoad> pragmaticenigma, What distro do you suggest then?
[03:19] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: "FaTaL_G: bios update. see     journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:'     to get your model and current version" --> wow, really... I can't imagine haha. I'll go check!!!!
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> amazoniantoad: you are in #ubuntu, here we suggest ubuntu and its !flavours
[03:21] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, we try to help and keep focus on ubuntu in this channel. though I'm sure you're able to perform a search of the web. I'd even recommend checking with terms like "ubuntu zenbook pro duo" or "linux zenbook pro duo" as part of your search terms
[03:23] <amazoniantoad> thanks guys
[03:25] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: "Dec 27 14:37:15 TARDIS kernel: DMI: To Be Filled By O.E.M. To Be Filled By O.E.M./Z370 Gaming K6, BIOS P1.30 11/22/2017"   So I should update my bios to fix that error? This is going to be interesting
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> FaTaL_G: does your computer/mobo have a bios update?
[03:27] <tomreyn> FaTaL_G: you asked for a first step to try, which i provided.
[03:28] <tomreyn> latest bios for this mainboard is dated 2019/11/6
[03:28] <lotuspsychje> there we go
[03:30] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, some of my quick seraching results in items pointing toward neeing Nvidia-Prime for some of the display features of that laptop.
[03:32] <amazoniantoad> thanks pragmaticenigma
[03:35] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: Yea Im going after it now
[03:35] <tomreyn> amazoniantoad: try this https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/denjgl/linux_on_asus_zenbook_pro_duo_ux581gv/
[03:35] <tomreyn> oh i'm late
[03:35] <FaTaL_G> was actually curious what indicated bios (so Im more aware)
[03:36] <FaTaL_G> damn... this board has had a TON of updates hahah
[03:37] <tomreyn> FaTaL_G: well, the log message you posted started ""ACPI BIOS Error (bug)", and searching the web for the rest of the message suggested it is (as usual) more likely a bios bug than a linux bug.
[03:38] <tomreyn> this doesn't rule out that you could maybe have linux work around it, but i'd personally try to fix any problems at the source, if possible.
[03:46] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn, interesting, I read it and thought for sure it was a driver/kernel/file issue never even considering it could be compatibility. Shame on me for ignoring that, I will be delighted if it is the cause
[03:46] <FaTaL_G> I googled it, and never saw something making me think bios lol
[03:47] <FaTaL_G> will find out soon! and I was super happy after reboot last night AND today, the internet facing adapter came up without fail
[03:49] <FaTaL_G> Once I fix this (and toy around with dnssec&cahce) I'll maybe get more into trying to hammer away at brcfmmac4366c working :D
[03:51] <tomreyn> FaTaL_G: note i'm not saying the bios upgrade will fix it, it is certainly worth a try though. the ACPI device path given in the message [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.PRT0._GTF.DSSP], points to the first SATA port, so it's something stroage (or more likely storage controller) specific. i could not figure out what GTF and DSSP stand for, though.
[03:51] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: once I update, there is no going back, but Im going to update. lol. I do not hold you responsible for any subsequent pain that may be delivered.
[03:52] <FaTaL_G> damn, Im suprised there were that many bios updates.
[03:53] <tomreyn> you can normally downgrade, but try to get a copy of the current version before you upgrade.
[03:55] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: apparently not this time.... https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z370%20Gaming%20K6/index.asp#Download
[03:56] <FaTaL_G> * User will not able to flash to previous BIOS once upgrading to this BIOS version.
[03:56] <FaTaL_G> ** We don't recommend users to update the BIOS if their system is already running normally.
[03:56] <FaTaL_G> but hey.... the system is not working properly ;)
[04:43] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: lolz, like I said, "whatever pain subsequently delivered" .... the oddest thing happened. (so the internet wouldn't work at all)
[04:44] <tomreyn> so you had to downgrade again?
[04:44] <FaTaL_G> enp0s31f6 was nowhere to be found in the list of ethernet devices, and that *IS* the forward facing nic. but alas... there was now a new device named "enpo1"
[04:44] <FaTaL_G> no, (I couldn't if I wanted to). But the same ACPI bug still exists
[04:45] <tomreyn> so the system has network connectivity now, ubt with a differently named device. that's ok, i guess.
[04:45] <FaTaL_G> just odd that the bios update triggered ubuntu to call the nic something different
[04:45] <FaTaL_G> Its ok, just odd lol
[04:46] <FaTaL_G> so sure I could have aliased it, but I just replaced it with vi regex in interfaces and my iptables rules
[04:46] <FaTaL_G> not sure I have it anywhere else, I'll go see, but those were the critical ones.
[04:47] <tomreyn> feel free to post the current    journalctl -b -p4    or just the full    journalctl -b    if you wand folks here to have a look.
[04:48] <tomreyn> is there actually any notable problem which this error message comes with or is it just that there is this error message?
[04:49] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/aUjidrVt   &  TARDIS kernel: DMI: To Be Filled By O.E.M. To Be Filled By O.E.M./Z370 Gaming K6, BIOS P4.20 10/31/2019
[04:50] <FaTaL_G> no noticible performance issue I've seen. Granted, it runs unmanned all of the time, and just forwards ethernet traffic, but its pretty solid. No crashes or anything
[04:51] <tomreyn> so you can just ignore it. or try to work around it using acpi_osi
[04:52] <tomreyn> http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html
[04:54] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: the journal contains iptables-dropped, session info, public and private ips and some other things. I guess I should redirect those to better files.
[04:57] <tomreyn> FaTaL_G: don'T waste your time on cleaning it up then.
[04:59] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: this wiki link of yours is masterful, nice friggin job props
[05:00] <tomreyn> not my article, it's TJs
[05:00] <FaTaL_G> I haven't seen TJ in some time
[05:00] <FaTaL_G> but then again I havent logged in here in a few months at least lol
[05:16] <FORDRDNK> Good evening, Is there anyone with information about installing DWA-131 D-link drivers for Linux Mint. (new to linux) trying to install and then use the device via Virtual box for vehicle diagnostics in windows
[05:20] <tomreyn> FORDRDNK: oh, you didn't say linux mint in #lubuntu, we only support ubuntu here.
[05:20] <tatertots> linux mint has their own chat room FORDRDNK
[05:21] <FORDRDNK> got ya..
[05:21] <FORDRDNK> Sorry been 20 years since i been on IRC
[05:21] <tomreyn> you can try ##linux also
[05:22] <FORDRDNK> sweet!
[05:22] <FORDRDNK> thanks guys sorry about that..
[05:23] <FORDRDNK> which would be better tho... i was kinda given direction to linux mint.. but if the others would support better i could go that route too
[05:27] <tatertots> doesn't matter..you're running out of rope here
[05:32] <FaTaL_G> tomreyn: lol... well, that didnt work, & it didnt work. It broke the intel proE1000 server nic (put it into perm sleep mode or something), and the same errors persisted. So I removed the Windows 2015 entries the script added.
[05:34] <tomreyn> FaTaL_G: okay, did it work around the bios bug through?
[05:34] <FaTaL_G> no
[05:34] <tomreyn> *though
[05:34] <tomreyn> ok
[05:34] <FaTaL_G> thats what the second part of that meant (errors persisted)
[05:35] <FaTaL_G> but to your point....  the functions  I need do work already
[05:35] <FaTaL_G> whatever its adding is likely something I dont want
[05:38] <absent_> I'm trying to learn sysadmin and I thought I'd pop in here to see if anyone has any advice. Any recommendations on what kind of environment to set up for practice?
[05:44] <crunchy-dorito> Just setup different environments for different tasks.
[05:44] <crunchy-dorito> vt are you interested in?
[05:45] <crunchy-dorito> WIth virtual machines, it's super easy to learn without messing anything up.
[05:45] <crunchy-dorito> Setup a webserver and see how it works.
[05:45] <crunchy-dorito> Break stuff and then fix it.
[05:49] <absent_> What distro is the most desirable by employers generally?
[05:53] <FaTaL_G> absent_, there's no one answer to that. Linux is linux (almost). While many flavors have different package deployment methods and key focus areas from the teams that maintain them, you use what you are interested in and learning linux, you'll be able to port general use knowledge to pretty much any distro. You're in Ubuntu! A solid place to be!
[05:54] <absent_> I've been using it for about a year now and I'm very comfortable with all of the general user-related terminal commands. I guess I'll set up a VM and start breaking things! >=D
[06:12] <sparr> the Online Accounts settings interface and the dropbox installer are both exhibiting a problem where they try to connect to a website via IPv6 and get no response, lsof reports stuck in SYN_SENT state.

[07:05] <tomreyn> amazoniantoad: a quote from there (if not for ubuntu): "the second display works fine, also the touch screen using Gnome shell + Nvidia drivers + bumblebee + Xorg instead of nouveau" - so it is generally possible. you could try a newer kernel version and X, or a newer ubuntu release in general.

[16:59] <OerHeks> FingerlessGloves, basicly, no, you might find out what pakages you don't need, but the bytes saved is not worth it.
[17:00] <OerHeks> 'ubuntu server' is just the core and tools, nothing special

[17:55] <non-sense> I added path/to/script.sh in visudo but no success
[18:05] <adrian_1908> non-sense: Where are you adding/loading the script?
[18:08] <non-sense> I was just trying to run it first but it kept asking for password
[18:08] <EriC^^> non-sense: visudo doesnt add stuff to login, add it to the user's ~/.bashrc
[18:09] <non-sense> it's an x11vnc ssh tunnel, I'm going to try launching with cron using @reboot
[18:10] <non-sense> I don't think that will actually work but going to test it now
[18:11] <adrian_1908> non-sense: Adding a systemd unit with `WantedBy=multi-user.target` is probably the modern approach.
[18:12] <non-sense> ok i'll look into it. but I'm more curious about why visudo doesn't work.
[18:13] <non-sense> I added /path/to/script.sh and it still asks for passwd
[18:17] <adrian_1908> Don't know enough about the visudo rules/syntax to help there. Hope you figure it out.
[18:17] <EriC^^> non-sense: when you execute it you need to do sudo /path/to/script.sh  and not sudo ./script.sh
[18:17] <non-sense> man if that's it lol
[18:21] <non-sense> still asking for password..
[18:22] <EriC^^> non-sense: pastebin "sudo -l"
[18:23] <nanthencodeneeth> docker run -it yamamuteki/ubuntu-lucid-i386  /bin/bash to set up ubuntu 10.04
[18:23] <nanthencodeneeth> but i can t ping or do curl from image
[18:24] <OerHeks> nanthencodeneeth, sorry. Lucid is no longer supported
[18:24] <nanthencodeneeth> so you mean we cant do apt-get
[18:24] <nanthencodeneeth> apt-get install package*
[18:25] <non-sense> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DMwQGR57Vx/
[18:25] <OerHeks> jups, mirrors are down .. there might be one old releases, but i do not bother to look that up.
[18:25] <nanthencodeneeth> OerHeks so you mean we cant do apt-get install package*
[18:25] <OerHeks> get a supported image, 16.04/18.04 or up
[18:25] <nanthencodeneeth> my requirement is to setup php5.3
[18:26] <OerHeks> 16.04 if you need is i386
[18:26] <nanthencodeneeth> OerHeks  requirement is to setup php5.3
[18:27] <nanthencodeneeth> will that be possible in ubuntu 16.04
[18:27] <Seveas> nanthencodeneeth: fix that requirement then, php 5.3 is also obsolete and these days considered rather insecure.
[18:27] <non-sense> EriC^^: I suspect it's the shell script
[18:28] <nanthencodeneeth> Seveas just to get an application running for demo purpose which was build 10 years ago
[18:28] <EriC^^> non-sense: yeah i think so too
[18:28] <non-sense> it creates a ssh tunnel.
[18:28] <EriC^^> non-sense: are you able to pastebin it?
[18:28] <non-sense> sure.
[18:29] <non-sense> EriC^^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MwNXC8dJBb/
[18:30] <non-sense> it creates a ssh tunnel for x11vnc, which can only accept requests from localhost.
[18:32] <EriC^^> non-sense: i see, just as a quick test if you create a file with just #!/bin/bash and echo hello does it work with sudo ./newscript.sh ?
[18:34] <nanthencodeneeth> you need to give execution permission as chmod +x newscript.sh
[18:34] <non-sense> yea it does.
[18:34] <non-sense> works.
[18:34] <EriC^^> i see
[18:34] <non-sense> visudo fails in this case?
[18:34] <EriC^^> non-sense: sorry if it's a dumb question, but why do you need sudo with the ssh command? the x11vnc port is lower than 1024 or something?
[18:38] <nanthencodeneeth> is there any way i can do update packages in lucid
[18:38] <non-sense> port isn't lower. when I ssh it asks for a password
[18:38] <nanthencodeneeth> which is in docker
[18:38] <non-sense> so I'm trying to evade that on login.
[18:38] <non-sense> I thought sudoer would handle that
[18:38] <non-sense> maybe I need to allow ssh in sudoer first
[18:38] <non-sense> ¯\_(°_o)_/¯
[18:40] <EriC^^> non-sense: nah that's the ssh password for logging in
[18:40] <non-sense> gotcha.
[18:41] <EriC^^> non-sense: are you ssh'ing to the same machine you're using?
[18:41] <non-sense> replace ssh with pubkey auth?
[18:41] <non-sense> replace ssh password*
[18:41] <non-sense> EriC^^: yes
[18:41] <EriC^^> non-sense: yeah that would work
[18:41] <non-sense> sweet.
[18:42] <non-sense> that makes sense now.
[18:42] <EriC^^> why though? i think there must be a different way to go about it
[18:42] <non-sense> how else can I log into myself witout asking for a password?
[18:45] <EriC^^> non-sense: i'm pretty confused here tbh :D
[18:45] <non-sense> all in all that will solve my problem now.
[18:45] <non-sense> EriC^^: ty.
[18:45] <non-sense> EriC^^: heh. It's a ghetto mans VPN.
[18:45] <EriC^^> isn't it that another pc has a vnc and you log into that pc from another?
[18:45] <non-sense> 5900 is closed.
[18:45] <non-sense> I can only vnc via ssh.
[18:46] <non-sense> that is correct. but in this case, it's more secure than having a VNC on the wan.
[18:46] <non-sense> the ssh server is tunneling to localhost:5900
[18:46] <non-sense> ;)
[18:46] <non-sense> therefore I don't need to open 5900 for the z4kkerz
[18:48] <EriC^^> non-sense: ah ok
[18:49] <thyriaen> Hiya - i would like to use ACO with mesa but as far as i understand it is not enabled by default - i have to set the enviournment variable RADV_PERFTEST=aco to use it as stated here: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Mesa-19.3-Lands-RADV-ACO - however how do i globally set that so that i use aco on boot and with all the programs i run ?
[18:58] <OerHeks> thyriaen, reading this, https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/1640915206474070669/ ---- you need https://launchpad.net/~valve-experimental/+archive/ubuntu/mesa for ACO ..
[19:19] <OerHeks> 'use aco on boot and with all the programs i run ?'... what games do you run at boot?
[19:26] <amcclure> Hello, does anyone know if there's a solution for Surface Laptop 2 keyboard not working?
[19:36] <quaklo> Hey. Installing fresh ubuntu19.10, deciding for guided full disk encryption in the installer, resulting that he is creating all partitioning by himself. 2 Issues: SWAP always ends up only 1GB on 3 different Laptops I tested (different RAM sizes and other config). Can be solved by swapfiles, but still, calculating swap size is broken in guided
[19:36] <quaklo> encrypted installer. The other issue is that the guided installer occupies the whole diskspace for its partitioning. leaving empty space for another OS is not possible by that. Solution: Tried Manual Setup from this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManualFullSystemEncryption/DetailedProcess#The_stages I tried this now for total of 3-4 times
[19:36] <quaklo> on different machines other a time of 4 months starting with 18.04 LTS. ALWAYS my grub gets corrupted, even with the extra grub-refresher that is integrated by the guide. So: How can I setup ubuntu, encrypted lvm/luks, with proper swap partition, and leave space for other partitions so I can install another OS - and have it stable for working?
[20:02] <isene> I have created a new font using LibreOffice Draw (yes, you read that correctly - I needed simple snaps and it was the easiest option for this specific font). Now, how do I make those 36 drawings (capital letters and numbers) into an actual font?
[20:02] <quaklo> bunch of guides available how to make such.... research
[21:11] <FaTaL_G> question
[21:13] <FaTaL_G> I use hostapd on the wifi side for my unsupported broadcom card, the machine runs as a wired&wireless router. I want to remove wpasupplicant.... is there any harm that may occur?
[21:13] <isene> quaklo: None that I can find that takes a vector drawing and creates a letter from it. SVG import in both glyphr, birdfont and fontforge does not seem to work with the SVG created by LibreOffice Draw.
[21:13] <FaTaL_G> I dont use networkmanager or netplan either
[21:15] <OerHeks> FaTaL_G, if you want WPA WPA2 on that wifi, yes, wpasupplicant is needed
[21:16] <FaTaL_G> OerHeks, its needed for hostapd too?
[21:16] <quaklo> @isense: crosscheck by importing your .svg to some other application and export it as .svg again. maybe libreoffice draw is the issue?
[21:17] <isene> Could be. I'll try Inkscape
[21:17] <FaTaL_G> I thought hostapd was supposed to be its own thing that took over wifi management (entirely). But I do want WPA2 so I wont remove it if that be the case!
[21:18] <quaklo> wrong syntax, never use IRC, sorry
[21:20] <OerHeks> FaTaL_G, i see
[21:21] <OerHeks> when i read this, they collide https://askubuntu.com/questions/683727/problems-with-wpa-supplicant-and-hostapd-help
[21:21] <FaTaL_G> OerHeks, this is where I get my quandary: https://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/devel/
[21:22] <FaTaL_G> yea....... well, I have had BOTH installed for a dogs age, and rightfully so have been having some network issues we've (you, I, TJ, and many others!!!!) have been helping me with for ~2 years
[21:23] <OerHeks> i was at https://w1.fi/hostapd/, i thought wpa_supplicant was always needed, learned something today
[21:23] <FaTaL_G> ironically, it works with both installed, lol... but Im weeding out errors, and reading tells me I dont need both, but I dont want to crippple the system by removing it
[21:23] <OerHeks> removing is oke
[21:24] <FaTaL_G> I think Im going to grab the package offline, and see. if it doesn't work, i'll put it back ;)
[21:24] <FaTaL_G> gracias
[21:24] <FaTaL_G> I read anotehr post where someone removed wpa, and their entire network stopped working, wifi and lan
[21:24] <leftyfb> FaTaL_G: you could just disable the wpa_supplicant service and see if everything still works
[21:25] <FaTaL_G> leftyfb, true true... tis' faster

[21:27] <stram> hi there, I have a full disk encryption setup but am now in a situation where mounting my encrypted "/" partition requires me to first load a kernel module from /lib/modules, which is currently part of the "/" partition, and thus unaccessible. Are there any workarounds to allow a kernel module to be loaded without needing access to "/"? "/boot" is currently my only unencryptedpartition
[21:28] <quaklo> mhhh... asked 2 hours ago already: Installing fresh ubuntu19.10, deciding for guided full disk encryption in the installer, resulting that he is creating all partitioning by himself. 2 Issues: SWAP always ends up only 1GB on 3 different Laptops I tested (different RAM sizes and other config).

[21:30] <pragmaticenigma> stram, You might be able to gain access to the encrypted volume with a Live disk
[21:31] <stram> pragmaticenigma: yes, I am able to access the partition via some workarounds, but I am referring to how to set up a bootable system that requires a kernel module to be loaded before it can decrypt the root partition
[21:31] <FaTaL_G> didn't kill my internet at least
[21:36] <linearain> hi, im at 14.04.something, how do i update to 14.04.6 or whichever is the latest? without going beyond 14.04?
[21:37] <quaklo> linearain regular update, but not upgrade. Upgrading from 14.x even is difficult and needs some extra steps.
[21:37] <Aavar> linearain: Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't thing a regular upgrade will upgrade to a new release?
[21:38] <Aavar> s/thing/think
[21:38] <linearain> thx
[21:39] <pragmaticenigma> stram, that depends on how you installed your system. did you use the ubuntu installer and encrypt on fresh install, or did you attempt to encrypt the volume after you had finished installing?
[21:40] <pragmaticenigma> !14.04 | linearain ,
[21:40] <pragmaticenigma> !eol | linearain
[21:41] <linearain> paid support?
[21:41] <linearain> lol
[21:41] <pragmaticenigma> linearain, the key to those were : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[21:42] <linearain> i guess i wont even try
[21:42] <linearain> just go to another distro
[21:43] <pragmaticenigma> linearain, that's fine, but I don't understand why you won't look at the link that I sent you. It has the instructions you were looking for
[21:44] <stram> pragmaticenigma: nevermind, I just needed to add the module name to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and update intramfs
[21:44] <pragmaticenigma> stram, cool
[22:00] <jayjo> I've read through the ubuntu help on bluetooth and audio, and after a couple days of googling it looks like  a common joke that "ubuntu ships with bluetooth audio issues". I'm just trying to understand it better ... if I have a bluetooth dongle, is bluez a different manager than what is installed in system preferences? with adding some hdi scripts I was able to get the device to connect, now is the concern
[22:00] <jayjo> to get the kernel to recognize it as an audio device?
[22:04] <pragmaticenigma> jayjo, The joke it bluetooth itself. manufacturers don't always follow the specification fully which leads to issues with pairing. Apple products are notorious for having issues connecting to standard bluetooth receivers.
[22:05] <jeremy31> jayjo: when first connected bluetooth audio devices should work fine.  It is after the first dissconnection/reboot that you may have issues
[22:09] <pragmaticenigma> jayjo, bluez provides a full stack implementation for Bluetooth. To my knowledge it should already be installed on your machine
[22:11] <jayjo> for example now my device says that it is conncted in blueman-manager, but should it show up as an audio device available in system preferences?
[22:11] <pragmaticenigma> jayjo, Unless you are talking about installing bluez-tools ... yes, it offers more configuration options than the control center options
[22:14] <jeremy31> jayjo: right click on the device in blueman, set audio profile to off, right click on device and choose disconnect, then connect and change profile to A2DP
[22:17] <jayjo> I don't have that option, even though it is recognized as an audio device
[22:17] <jayjo> it is recognized as a headset actually
[22:18] <jayjo> it does have a microphone on it (sony wh 1000mx3)
[22:18] <jeremy31> jayjo: you can't set audio profile to off in blueman?
[22:21] <amazoniantoad> I'm trying to change my screen brightness but it doesn't seem to change. The buttons works and they act as though they have changed the brightness, but the displays don't actually dim
[22:25] <jeremy31> amazoniantoad: post URL from terminal for> ls -r /sys/class/backlight | nc termbin.com 9999
[22:32] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, Is this on your Zenbook Pro Duo from yesterday?
[22:32] <jayjo> my options are "Send File", "Browse Device", "Pair",
[22:32] <jayjo> "Trust", "Setup", "Rename Device", "Remove", and "Disconnect"
[22:32] <jayjo> could it be because blueman thinks this is a headset, not headphoens?
[22:33] <jayjo> blueman-manager; 2.0.8; Blueman is a GTK based bluetooth manager - is the software I'm using
[22:33] <amazoniantoad> pragmaticenigma, yes. I'm checking our a reddit thread that was linked to but it doesn't seem like anyone else has gotten it to actually work either.
[22:34] <amazoniantoad> jeremy31, https://termbin.com/ul3p
[22:36] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, do you know if you're running in Nvidia graphics mode or the Intel?
[22:36] <amazoniantoad> pragmaticenigma, Nvidia graphics mode
[22:38] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, based on the output (i'm not too familiar with it) but Ubuntu is trying to use the Intel driver to send the backlight commands, but the NVidia chip has priority. Any luck getting Nvidia PRIME setup on it?
[22:39] <pragmaticenigma> amazoniantoad, or at the very least do you have the nvidia drivers installed, and looked in that control panel for a brightness setting?
[22:39] <amazoniantoad> pragmaticenigma, I have the drivers installed and PRIME is set up
[22:44] <FaTaL_G> My ubunut install has an odd annoyance, but it doesn't appear to break anything.... If I look at the status of the services "systemctl -t service" I see:  ifup@br0.service  ifup@eno1.service & networking.service as failed/failed
[22:44] <FaTaL_G> but it all works properly.
[22:45] <amazoniantoad> pragmaticenigma, I haven't seen any control panel for the brightness setting within the nvidia control panel
[22:47] <pragmaticenigma> FaTaL_G, Do you also have NetworkManager installed?
[22:47] <FaTaL_G> nope
[22:49] <jeremy31> jayjo: URL from terminal for > pactl list short | grep blue | nc termbin.com 9999
[22:50] <pragmaticenigma> FaTaL_G, I'm not sure what you did with your setup... and why you removed the default networking setup from your machine. It makes it very difficult for volunteers here to help support you when you decide to not use what's included. Ubuntu is setup to use newer methods for managing the network. I would recommend trying to seek help in ##networking, ##linux or some other channel.
[22:52] <FaTaL_G> pragmaticenigma, networkmanager is a gui app, the goal of this machine is to not be display driven. Its a router. It uses iptables, interfaces, and hostapd
[22:53] <pragmaticenigma> FaTaL_G, then why not use netplan?
[22:53] <FaTaL_G> but that is advice I never considered, and is a super idea
[22:54] <jayjo> jeremy31: https://termbin.com/jms0
[22:54] <FaTaL_G> pragmaticenigma, none of the resources I followed that got me to using this as a router used any "additional" packages or tools (other than absolutely necessary), they were old(er) and basic.
[22:55] <amazoniantoad> Oh the joys of intro to IPSec
[22:55] <jeremy31> jayjo: module-bluetooth-discover is loaded so I am not sure what the issue might be, strange that blueman shows no audio option
[22:55] <amazoniantoad> I remember when I built my first pfsense firewall and had to learn all of that.
[22:57] <OerHeks> FaTaL_G, likely old cruft from wpa-supplicant?
[22:57] <pragmaticenigma> FaTaL_G, If building a router is your goal, perhaps Ubuntu isn't the best choice? Seems like a really heavy OS to use for networking routing, perhaps pfsense or something similar would meet your goals better?
[22:58] <amazoniantoad> FaTaL_G, I suggest you use pfsense buddy
[22:58] <amazoniantoad> pragmaticenigma is right
[22:58] <FaTaL_G> pfsense is quite specific, I wanted a fully supported linux distro that I can keep up to date with hardware and any packages my heart desires, (for montioring or whatever), whereas pfsense is pretty tight on what it is and can do, and has a much different support base.
[22:59] <FaTaL_G> lets face it.... if iptables blocks it, it aint getting through. :D
[22:59] <amazoniantoad> FaTaL_G, you can get shell with it if that's your goal. Additionally you can add third party repositories
[23:02] <FaTaL_G> OerHeks, its been this way for over a year. I just havent solved it yet. I mean, it all works!! but I have much to learn. The journey is something
[23:25] <c0nker> Hey, ive been having problems trying to install Ubuntu through USB, no matter what I try, I always get the isolinux missing error
[23:26] <c0nker> I've tried using Ubuntu's own disk writer, using mkusb, using Rufus, using Usbinstallerwhatever, etc
[23:26] <c0nker> I think my bios settings are correct, but I tried switching CMI/UEFI and it didnt seem to help
[23:27] <tatertots> FaTaL_G: if it works...there's nothing to solve...if you enjoy chasing your own tail..go out in the yard and run in circles
[23:28] <c0nker> so im at a loss here, what can I do?
[23:29] <tatertots> c0nker: are you using the same usb device or flash drive on all these unsuccessful attempts? ...yes or no
[23:29] <c0nker> ive tried with several, the one im using right now seems to work best
[23:30] <OerHeks> c0nker, and what machine is this?
[23:30] <tatertots> work the best?..you've only been unsuccessful at installing so i'm not sure by what means or unit of measure you used to say that
[23:30] <tatertots> but okay
[23:30] <c0nker> im using the ubuntu-blabla-desktop-amd64.iso
[23:31] <c0nker> tatertots, because I tried using a debian installer and it booted, so theres that
[23:32] <c0nker> OerHeks, the one im trying to install? its a Ryzen AMD/MSI board
[23:32] <tatertots> are you using the same USB port on the system for all these unsuccessful attempts?
[23:32] <c0nker> i have tried others too
[23:32] <OerHeks> Ryzen ... at least try the latest ubuntu, 19.10
[23:32] <c0nker> right now Im using the 1st USB port, the one marked for flashing
[23:32] <c0nker> I will OerHeks
[23:33] <tatertots> are you using the same ISO file?..if yes try some different ubuntu flavors
[23:33] <c0nker> tatertots what flavor do you recommend?
[23:34] <tatertots> any other flavor or ISO other than the "unsuccessful" ISO
[23:34] <echoSMILE> why this (simple) iptables rules doesn't work to allow access web? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Bg8prmSnMh/
[23:35] <tatertots> also you'll notice USB ports are color coded...try falling back to USB 2.0 port if you have any..and you should
[23:35] <c0nker> ok, I'll try. I had problems with other ISOs too but this makes sense
[23:35] <bprompt> c0nker:  what many are more or less saying is that, is not the .iso file most likely, so much as it might be some faulty usb stick or usb port, which I'd agree
[23:36] <c0nker> tatertots, my USB 2.0 ports are the case USB ports, my thought was that if something was going to not work, it would be the externals. I did test them and they didnt seem to work any differently anyway
[23:36] <bprompt> c0nker:  you can always try burning the iso to usb jusing "dd" in the shell, that works very reliably
[23:37] <tatertots> c0nker: it's called "process of elimination" repeating the same things and expecting a different result is the clinical definition of .....nevermind
[23:37] <c0nker> im not doing that again, I burned an USB like that
[23:37] <c0nker> tatertots yeah I know I've been mostly trying every combination, specially with the BIOS settings
[23:38] <c0nker> went through every USB I had at home, but this one is large enough for ubuntu and it didnt break
[23:38] <tatertots> c0nker: BIOS settings, i was thinking "process of elimination" with ports, iso files, flash drives
[23:38] <tatertots> but yeah sure that
[23:41] <Bashing-om> c0nker: What is the host system that you use to copy for the USB ubuntu installer ?
[23:41] <bprompt> c0nker:   well, the iso being faulty is highly unlikely unless you had a corrupted download or corrupted write to usb, and the corruption could have been due to hardware, not necessarily software
[23:45] <echoSMILE> my laptop just restart. Can someone tell me why this only iptables rules don't allow access http? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Bg8prmSnMh/
[23:50] <tatertots> echoSMILE: if you plan to run a website/httpd you'll need to allow the applicable TCP/IP ports (default 80/443)
[23:51] <tatertots> echoSMILE: if you're thinking you're trying to be all super secure by closing a bunch of ports down with iptables you've probably stepped on your own foot/toes of your website/httpd

[23:53] <nanthencodeneeth> i am using ubuntu 10.04 inside a docker
[23:53] <nanthencodeneeth> please help me
[23:54] <tatertots> 10.04 is EOL..you'll probably hear that a lot
[23:54] <echoSMILE> tatertots i don't have any httpd
[23:54] <nanthencodeneeth> yes but it worked for me once before
[23:54] <nanthencodeneeth> some time
[23:54] <OerHeks> nanthencodeneeth, no support, stop it please.
[23:54] <tatertots> echoSMILE: so you are NOT trying to have any sort of website?
[23:55] <nanthencodeneeth> ok OerHeks
[23:55] <echoSMILE> tatertots nop, this is just at desktop
[23:56] <Bashing-om> codedmart: May I suggest from ubuntu that you verify the .iso file download: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM - then verify the copy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck. Once sure we canlook at the booting.
[23:56] <tatertots> echoSMILE: so instead of trying to be overly technical with terms...just say " I can't get to websites with firefox or chrome"
[23:57] <FaTaL_G> tatertots: its more irritating that looking at services shows a failure despite everything working well.
[23:58] <tatertots> echoSMILE: http aka surfing with a browser is a "outgoing" / "egress" communication
[23:59] <tatertots> echoSMILE: does it function as designed when booted to LiveCD/LiveUSB?
