[00:06] do we have any tools that help me upgrade my BIOS more than lswh -> find mobo model -> find manufacturer website -> find update info? [00:08] !info fwupdate [00:08] fwupdate (source: fwupdate): Transitional package for fwupd. In component universe, is optional. Version 12-7 (eoan), package size 3 kB, installed size 13 kB (Only available for amd64; i386; armhf; arm64) [00:08] https://itsfoss.com/update-firmware-ubuntu/ [00:10] more info https://github.com/rhboot/fwupdate [00:10] does anybody have a ubuntu box they screen share into with a macOS device pretty regularly? [00:11] thanks! [00:25] Sven_vB: not really, no. anything that works from Linux will be machine specific. IOW, not generally applicable. [00:26] yeah looks like I'll need to either find an actual floppy drive or install windows or manage to boot MSDOS from a thumbdrive. [00:27] Sven_vB: i generally use windows for this purpose because it's the most common method people use. i've always wondered about the lesser used options. [00:27] oh some people write FreeDOS works as well, that might be worth a try. [00:28] though i have used the FreeDOS method as well. [00:29] I'd even have a legit Win2k somewhere, but then I'd need an optical drive. also I think I just remembered where I do have a floppy drive. [00:30] haha, I was just wondering how I could slow down my BIOS startup so I can read its version. Pause key actually does what it says. [00:31] it all depends on the vendor, i guess [00:31] but many joined this project [00:31] and meh, seems like it's actually almost the latest version. there are 2 more updates but none of them list EFI support in their changes. [00:33] oh now I remember what the bios_grub partition was for. I had hoped it would allow loading the EFI GRUB from the ESP. would have been too easy. [00:33] looks like I'll need to actually install totally another GRUB then. :( [00:49] can imwheel be changed for only one app? like chrome? [00:49] it seems to be universal [00:55] will Ubuntu drop support for non-EFI BIOSes some time in the foreseeable future? [00:56] in 10 years there will be hardly any left, i guess [00:56] like IDE drives and Floppy [00:56] I'm kind of a leisure historian :)) [00:57] but 10 years is probably good enough to warrant installing a Xenial on that box. [00:58] maybe I should even give Bionic another try. [00:58] Sven_vB: As i'm sure you have seen mentioned here before. This channel is operated by volunteers. Those types of decisions are made at Canonical internally, and unless the put or a press release or other notice, there is no one here that can definitively state what will be the future of Ubuntu [00:59] pragmaticenigma, thanks for reminding me! [01:00] yeah in the worst case I can't even know if there will be any Ubuntu in 10 years. [01:00] Hi. Someone know how I can log all the incomming and outcomming network request using the terminal? I have a small server and I want to check and register the access information in a log format. [01:01] crossposting... lets wait for an answer in #debian [01:04] blscoe, would tshark be an option? [01:05] blscoe, however, what do you mean by access information? logins via network? would you be able to decrypt them? or are you using unencrypted logins? [01:05] blscoe, depending on the services to be monitored, there may be easier ways. [01:06] Sven_vB. I look for the ip and date information and a program that consume less resource as possible. [01:06] in that case a netfilter rule might be a better choice, that logs connection attempts to some port. [01:07] The traffic is over https, but I have access, is a personal server. I need only the requests with time and dest/origin info. [01:07] for https look at your webserver's logs [01:08] blscoe, yeah a netfilter rule. #ubuntu-server might know the details. [01:10] Sven-vB I use ufw, there are any problem or conflit with netfilter? (I use ubuntu server, I will try to question on this room) [01:11] tds: I need to change log level in apache? [01:12] are there* [01:12] do I* [01:15] blscoe: you shouldn't do, those should go to an access log by default [01:17] blscoe, if you use Apache you can probably configure very fine-grained logging, and it will be a lot easier than ensuring your custom config doesn't conflict with ufw. [01:19] however, if you're concerned about resource usage, maybe you should rethink apache a bit. ;) that one has a lot more impact than which network sniffing approach you use. [01:22] tds: access.log [01:23] :P [01:23] the AVAST visit my server =/ [01:23] thks mate! [02:34] in vbox How much performance loss should I expect for a guess os as compared to a standalone os ?( ubuntu tls is guess, windows or ubuntu can be host) [02:37] depends on your resources [02:38] maybe 5-10% [02:38] kk4ewt, really? [02:38] incomclusive, it all depends on your hardware, and performance loss will only happen when you run 100% on all cores, even then, nobody can give %. [02:38] kk4ewt, if its just a 10% loss, I would always use guess os [02:38] OerHeks, Hi,how have you been? [02:39] OerHeks, I have M6700 dell, 25g ram [02:39] with ubuntu as host, use KVM [02:39] OerHeks, not vbox? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:40] well, unless you want windows as guest [02:41] OerHeks, why prefer kvm? [02:41] Intel Core i7-3840QM .. i think your mouse will never stutter [02:41] libvirt is loads better than vbox [02:42] i think kvm is faster than vbox [02:42] also, what .extension should be of disk image so it runs on vbox and kvm and other places as well [02:42] OerHeks, ok, any other reason for kvm like features? [02:43] qemu-img can convert between formats if necessary [02:43] hm [02:44] ok, if I have 25g ram, how much max should I give to guest os, Also what about cpu cores? [02:44] memory and cpu depend entirely on what you do with it [02:44] depends on what you're doing with it, what you expect to give other guests, what OS it's running, etc. These really aren't Ubuntu questions though [02:45] I've got VMs with one core and 512M memory, and VMs with 28 cores and 64 gigs memory [02:45] 8 gb no problemo [02:47] sarnold, run intellij idea :) [02:48] OerHeks, 8g for what? [02:48] sarnold, I just want to run intellij idea on guest os [02:48] I haven't run that in ~19 years.. I suspect it takes a bit more memory these days [02:49] sarnold, oh what IDE do you use for development then? I think idea was not there 19 years ago either [02:49] wikipedia says 8gigs or more recommended for android dev work; so probably give it twelve to sixteen gigs [02:49] Intelo: vim [02:49] sarnold, hm [02:49] sarnold, pretty awkward for refactoring. no? [02:50] android9/6gb is pretty common now [02:50] OerHeks, ok [02:50] guests can often get away with less ram than you suspect, because the host will cache the filesystem image too; but compiling and linking and so on does usually eat memory.. [02:50] sarnold, vim isn''t an ide. n [02:50] Is there a way to verify a copy partition was completed correctly? Maybe with Gparted? [02:51] sarnold, oh [02:51] sarnold, my filesystem image of gues is min 8g. I don't think host will cache that [03:04] How can I see the shared folder in guest os (both guest, host are ubuntu) [03:05] vbox shared folder [03:05] Intelo: That is a question you should ask in the virtual box support group [03:06] pragmaticenigma, ubuntu supports this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders [03:06] and have an official help topic [03:07] A topic message from 2014 ... seems a little out of date to me [03:07] I didn't say it wasn't supported... I suggested a better resource for getting help [03:08] pragmaticenigma, ya but you know #vbox is not active [03:08] pragmaticenigma, just wondering how to see something shared in network [03:09] depends upon how you shared it; windows systems often use SMB networking, smbclient or smbmount or cifsmount or similar may help there [03:10] different filebrowsers may make it easier to use those exported filesystems, if you've got a file browser you like look around its documentation [03:10] Intelo: that all depends on how you setup your virtual box instance. Personally I just share the folder like I would in a normal instance, then make sure the network configuration is setup so my vbox instance is getting a network ip from my DHCP so any system on my network can access it [03:11] Intelo: In other words, I setup networking on vbox to be "Bridged" [03:11] sarnold, I did it by this timeframe snap https://youtu.be/89HDKvTfR_w?t=89 [03:11] sarnold, both guest and host are ubuntu [03:12] pragmaticenigma, hm [03:13] pragmaticenigma, its NAT at the time. [03:14] pragmaticenigma, shouldn't it do [03:15] hi anyone had any sucess on getting world of warcraft to work [03:16] what is sudo snap install something? [03:18] it installs that something via the snap package manager [03:18] see eg https://snapcraft.io/store [03:21] sarnold, why go for snap rather than apt? [03:21] sarnold, will snap act like package manager and will also upgrade software like apt does? [03:22] Intelo: there's a handful of different tradeoffs -- the snap package can often be more up to date with what upstream releases than the .deb packages, since .deb packages are intended to only backport specific bug fixes when necessary; snaps instead can package whatever is newest [03:23] Intelo: the snap package may also have some sandboxing in place via apparmor profiles, seccomp execution constraints [03:23] Intelo: snap will automatically update packages, yes [03:24] Intelo: snap packages applications with squashfs, which means they can be compressed and binary differences can be published, allowing for faster downloads of just what changed between releases, too [03:24] Intelo: it's a bit like apple's app store or android's app store [03:24] oh [03:24] sarnold, so if it has more stable and latest code, why even use apt? [03:25] Intelo: that's a good question; a lot of people prefer to keep things 'unchanged' with just bug fixes and security updaets applied; other people can't stand the ~/snap/ directory that the snap packages use; other people don't like the /snap/ path that is used for executables, etc.. [03:26] Intelo: it's a way for people to select the tradeoffs they want; some people prefer the snap ecosystem, some prefer the deb ecosystem [03:28] Intelo: the 'ubuntu core' project is built around trying to deliver *everything* as a snap https://ubuntu.com/core -- it's probably best considered mostly for IOT sorts of things but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a good choice for a wider variety of deployments in the future [03:33] sarnold, ok [03:33] sarnold, cannot get shared folder shared.. [03:34] Intelo: sorry, I've never used virtual box, no idea what to do there [03:34] k [03:35] Intelo: If it is set for NAT, then you would have to setup port forwarding in vbox for what ever filesharing/remote access method you plan on using for accessing your files [03:35] pragmaticenigma, I am setting in bridge [03:36] I've got to sign off for the evening, wish you luck [03:36] pragmaticenigma, what next? [03:36] pragmaticenigma, ok [03:37] gnight pragmaticenigma [03:38] which port to forward? [03:39] Intelo: If you have set vbox to bridged mode, there is no port to forward, you can access the virtual machine directly with its assigned IP address [03:41] pragmaticenigma, its bridge but I do not have the ip nor internet working [03:41] I do not see anything in 'network' [03:41] then I'm at the limit of what i can help you with here [03:41] I've also gotta get going [03:42] pragmaticenigma, sure; thanks! [03:42] stuck at 'setting up network address' [04:07] what is Ubuntu Eoan? [04:07] I am using Ubuntu Focal [04:08] ok heh [04:08] Eoan is 19.10 [04:08] and Focal is 20.04 LTS [04:16] ScaredySquirrel, is focal out? [04:16] in april I think [04:19] probably there gonna be betas month or two before [04:22] well focal isn't out [04:22] it's the beta yes [04:22] maybe the alpha? [04:22] one problem is that it might actually be behind the newest ubuntu [04:23] the stable eoan [04:23] like for example the firefox is not version 72 like eoan [04:23] and the kernel might not be the newer when comparing [04:25] oh and uh I have a video of a Fennec Fox [04:25] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNPLg9QQerg [04:29] greetings, after upgrading from coamic to eaon, I'm still seeing kernel v4. How do I upgrade to the latest kernel? [04:37] hey can anyone help me set the right platform for NetBeans? I installed it straight from the repos and didn't configure anything. I googled the problem but I can't seem to get things to work. Fatal Error: Unable to find package java.lang in classpath or bootclasspath [04:39] !info linux-image-generic eoan [04:39] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.0.26.30 (eoan), package size 2 kB, installed size 16 kB [04:41] isomari: Pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep linux- '. Let's see what is installed. [04:43] Bashing-om, are you addressing me? [04:43] * chowder brain isn't working right now [04:44] chowder: No, was directed to isomari . [04:45] lol ok Bashing-om I see I have linux-image-generic 5.4.0 [04:45] oh ok, my mistake. I'm running on fumes right now. [04:46] that's from focal [04:46] my problem is I don't know where the newest firefox for focal is [04:46] i think it isn't available for focal at version 72 but is for eoan [04:47] !20.04 | ScaredySquirrel [04:47] ScaredySquirrel: Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) will be the 32nd release of Ubuntu, scheduled for April 2020 ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule ). It will be a long-term support release. Join #ubuntu+1 for support and questions. [04:49] you can put movies on vinyl and also music and stuff [04:57] How involved is the upgrade process, from LTS to LTS? In this case 18.04 to what will be Focal Fossa or 20.04. Speaking as someone who has just migrated to Linux from Windows as of Sept/Oct, I never actually had an opportunity to upgrade OSs yet. [04:57] WaV, I just do a fresh reinstall [04:57] but the ubuntu installer pretty much does everything for you [04:58] its not involved at all [05:00] I'd imagine you could also just do-release-upgrade, correct? Also, is it common for any applications to break during an upgrade? [05:00] WaV: easy peasy - Terminal way ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo do-release-upgrade ' where the 18.04 install is as close to default as possible. [05:01] WaV, its possible for all kinds of shit to go wrong during an upgrade. To be honest, I work in the IT industry. I don't trust ANYONE'S software. That's why I throw everything in an external hard drive and do a clean reinstall. [05:02] I have little faith in Ubuntu right now due to NetBeans not working when installed straight from the repos [05:02] I see. In that case, I'll probably hold off when it comes upgrade time. I don't have any extra hardware laying around to back-up my stuff, and I've been procrastinating buying another hard drive for months now. [05:03] WaV, always good to have a backup [05:04] I've been going back and forth between buying something additional to throw inside my laptop versus getting external storage instead. [05:05] I have two more slots inside my laptop for storage drives. [05:05] honestly most external hard drives are just regular hard drives with a special little board that allows them to accept USB input/output [05:05] WaV: SSDs are a wonderful upgrade :) [05:05] I've got a 1TB NVME already :) [05:06] so if you buy a good external you could potentially turn it into an internal HDD if you don't mind tearing it apart [05:06] WaV: :D [05:08] I'm regretting not making /home a separate partition. That would've made upgrading quite a bit easier. [05:12] heya folks!! got me a new laptop, and stupidly I didn't note how I had my previous multiple installs configured for partitions... [05:12] is it possible to assign /home to multiple installs, without causing conflicts? [05:12] you would get clashes between dotfiles [05:13] its better to have a unique /home and then maybe keep a partition for all of your data like videos, documents, etc [05:14] you don't want the configurations that are stored ~/.config and elsewhere in your home folder to clash [05:14] just set up fstab to mount things where you need them. [05:14] so you have a data partition with a "Videos" folder then just mount it at ~/Videos [05:15] just make sure you read the docs if you've never edited the fstab [05:15] ^^ That is what I should've done. [05:16] another question, is there a GUI based tool that can configure grub2? it previously kept launching the distro I used least.... and I am definitely not "one-with-the-terminal" n the terminal is not "one-with-me" [05:17] Yes, there is. I came across it on YouTube on ChrisTitusTechs channels, but I forgot what it is called. [05:17] I have done some fstab edits before, but was with assistance, as well as many years ago [05:18] I think it is just called "Grub Customizer" === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [06:21] @extor have you looked at x2go? It's substantially better than VNC [06:21] Hi folks [06:22] #mint [06:22] quick question - when I use dd, does the blocksize I choose impact anything other than how the dd works? [06:22] in other words will anything be different between a 512K block size and a 2MB block size (as an example) once the dd is finished? [06:35] wings, no, it only affects how long the dd takes, the same bytes go no matter what === wings is now known as gnomethrower === gnomethrower is now known as wings [06:36] wings, dd is very simple, read (blocksize bytes), write (blocksize bytes) repeat until end [06:37] rfm: awesome, thanks. That was roughly my understanding but I wanted to check :) [06:37] cheers for confirming. [07:20] https://imgur.com/a/dx4uF5h [07:20] anyone seen this before? It happens once or twice a month on my pc [07:20] reboot it works perfectly fine again [07:21] looks scarey [07:21] *scary [07:21] Yeah, but what is weird is that a reboot and it works perfectly fine [07:21] it just happens usually when I'm not at work [07:27] toffe: nope, but i just found it in the kernel source. [07:27] toffe: it's specific to the ext4 driver. no idea what triggers it but it appears when a call to buffer_uptodate returns false. [07:28] hmm [07:28] I found a tip on this page https://askubuntu.com/questions/905710/ext4-fs-error-after-ubuntu-17-04-upgrade [07:28] I do not have a samsung nvme drive but a LENSE30512GMSP34MEAT3TA [07:29] toffe: i also found that error in the nvme error injection documentation. [07:29] But I'll try the kernel parameters he refers to as it might be affecting other nvme drives aswell [07:29] ryuo: what kind of docu? Meaning there is an answer to why it happen? [07:30] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/fault-injection/nvme-fault-injection.html [07:31] not really, but this does mention it. [07:31] fault injection is for testing code under failure conditions afaik. [07:32] Hello everyone, I need help with an issue [07:33] OERIAS: did you try rebooting!? [07:33] :) [07:33] ryuo, it is an issues pertaining to Unity [07:33] unity? that was dropped some time ago. [07:33] it does not let me search for files or applications [07:33] yeah but gnome isn't any better [07:37] i don't use the gnome interface really, so maybe someone else can help you. [07:41] hi [07:41] how do i record sound [07:45] when disabling swap, can I get away with simply doing swapoff? [07:45] or if it just going to re-apply after reboot [07:47] you remove the entry from /etc/fstab to make it permanent [08:07] EriC^^ there? [08:08] Hello everyone, I need help with an issue [08:08] it is an issues pertaining to Unity [08:09] hello [08:09] the search feature does not pull up applications or files when searching for a file or application [08:19] hi [08:19] how do i conduct linpack benchmarks [08:19] does ubuntu provide apps [08:33] hey eric [08:40] can anyone help me fix chrome in ubuntu [08:57] o/ [08:57] hello world === hide4 is now known as list === list is now known as hide4 [09:04] hide4 /beep [09:18] hello. We have a corp MITM proxy, how to install it's cert to the list of trusted ones? [09:26] pomeha: see update-ca-certificates(8) for most softwares, but if you run desktops you will need to fiddle with web browsers and probably other clients seperately [09:27] tomreyn: that's a headless ubuntu (under windows), I know that update-ca-certificates command/util is used to update the list of installed certs, but thing is it looks like I used wrong certs or certs in wrong format or something and my question is more about that part [09:28] pomeha: what is "it" that made it seem so? [09:30] you should be storing your local CA certificates in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates in PEM format [09:30] tomreyn: I visit, say, google.com (from browser on windows) and I see certs chain: X>Y>Corp enterprise proxy>www.google.com. I can use only windows tools to obtain those certs. Is it enough to obtain just X? or do I need a chain X>Y>Corp enterprise proxy? [09:30] pomeha: okay, i was hoping you'd seen a warning message when running update-ca-certificates [09:32] tomreyn: no, but maybe my certs are in wrong format. Windows doesn't offer to save directly into .pem, it offers to save X.509 (.CER) in DER or Base64 or into a .p7b PKCS #7 container [09:33] tomreyn: as far as I understand .pem .cer .crt are interchangable and I should choose base64 .cer, right? [09:33] you can convert certificates using openssl [09:35] tomreyn: afaiu I'd need to convert only if I'd choose DER format rather than base64 [09:35] linux doesn't care about file extensions (for the very most part, some applications use them as indication) but about file content. you will need PEM formatted certificates (or a certificate chain, if you have a intermedia CAs) [09:35] base64 is an encoding, not a file format. [09:36] tomreyn: the format is X.509, isn't that what PEM is? [09:36] wait, no! they are different! [09:36] that's why it didn't work for me! [09:40] PEM is a base64 encoded DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) certificate. this and other variations are used in X.509. [09:41] now I'm confused [09:42] so is X.509 not a format? [09:42] not a file format, no [09:43] tomreyn: and about certs chain - so will importing just X from my example will suffice? Or do I need to import a chain of X>Y>Corp enterprise proxy? [09:44] my understanding of how chains of trust work tells me that X should be enough [09:46] are you the most suitable person to deal with this in your company? maybe you have someone who has worked on this topic more? [09:47] yeah, thanks [09:48] i would not recomend the proxy setup in the first place, unless you're lawfully required to. [09:51] tomreyn: that's the only way to access internets and yes, I need it [09:52] thing is, everybody is on windows, it is pre-configured there and admins can manage it using group policies, but I need linux utils so I've installed ubuntu (WSL) [09:53] ah so you're tasked with rolling out X.509 with a company CA and MITM proxy in your company, but this infrastructure already exists and you just want to make your WSL installation use it. [09:54] * you're NOT tasked [09:55] does anyone know the status of this bug https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21999222 in 18.04? [09:55] (Firefox zero-day, fixed in 72.0.1 but latest ubuntu version is 71.0) [09:56] so all you should need to do is to store the company's certificate chain in PEM format in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/somthing.crt and configure the system to use the type of proxy server your company provides. [09:56] pomeha: ^ [09:58] tomreyn: yes, exactly. Problem is that I already tried that and it failed. Maybe I got lost in all that der/pem/cer b/s, trying it again now. Or maybe I need a damn chain in pem, instead of a single cert and I don't know how to use windows to save a cert chain, I know only how to save separate certs from a chain. [09:59] https://askubuntu.com/questions/175172/how-do-i-configure-proxies-without-gui [09:59] tomreyn: the proxy is mitm, just configuring proxy doesn't make, say, curl, work with https without -k key [10:00] right, you need both, the system wide proxy configuration and the installed certificate chain for your enterprise CA [10:02] normally, your company's CA would provide all certificates with usage instructions in different environments / on different OS at a central location, often a website. [10:02] the first part is done [10:02] tomreyn: the company thinks everyone is content with just windows as clients [10:02] so they use group policies to configure everythting [10:03] sorry to hear this, luckily that's not our problem, but the cxcompanies' [10:04] lacking a website as the one discussed above, your approach of storing certificates which form the enterprise CA certificate chain from a web browser is an option (if a somewhat poor one, unless you'll verify them seperately). [10:04] update-ca-certificates says 0 added, 0 removed, done :-( [10:05] you will need to convert them to PEM format and may want to concatenate them into a single file (though that's not actually required). [10:05] don't add the server certificate, just the CA and any intermediary certificates. [10:06] so I need the whole chain, not just X [10:06] okay [10:06] you can use the "file" command to identify the format of an existing file [10:06] example: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt: PEM certificate [10:07] but you need to place the company CA certs in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ [10:07] not the whole chain, because you don't want to include the server certificate [10:08] well, yeah, the whole chain minus the site's [10:08] (the site I'm viewing) [10:12] !wsl | pomeha: generally, if you'll need WSL specific support (this was generic to ubuntu so i didn't bring this up before): [10:12] pomeha: generally, if you'll need WSL specific support (this was generic to ubuntu so i didn't bring this up before):: Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation.

[10:56] hi [10:56] i need one server. [10:56] someone? [10:57] !support [10:57] The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com [10:58] calIn-: i mean: this is the ubuntu support channel, do you have an ubuntu support question? [10:59] what is one ubuntu? [11:00] !ubuntu [11:00] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [11:03] ok. [11:03] and what can i win? [11:06] i go. [11:06] not interested. [11:13] tomreyn: I tried everything, chain, separate certs, nothing works :( [11:25] pomeha: so "file", run against the .crt file you placed in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ , reports what? [11:26] tomreyn: OMG! it finally works!! turns out you can't put certs into that dir, you have to put them in a SUBDIR there! [11:26] and no, no chains [11:29] Hi folks [11:29] shouldn't /etc/profile.d/*.sh files get automatically executed by all users upon login? [11:30] if you're using a shell that leverages that directory, yes [11:31] *leverages the use of files found there [11:31] ah, zsh doesn't sauce /etc/profile [11:31] pomeha: hungry? [11:32] ryuo: yeah [11:34] i'm pretty sure you can place certificates right into /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ [11:37] pretty sure too... the key is to make sure you run "sudo update-ca-certificates" after adding them [11:38] though you would need to check /etc/ca-certificates.conf to see what paths it is searching through to be certain === spudz is now known as zenguy [12:06] hey guys, I'm having a weird issue with e1000e driver on a machine that is in a lab (so not connected to this chat). on boot it is loading an older version of e1000e so it is not recognizing my intel i219-LM eth card. if i rmmod e1000e and modprobe e1000e then it loads the newr driver (built from src) and find the card no problems. dmesg pre/post shows that the old driver is loaded then the new driver [12:13] howudodat: did you rebuild your initrd? [12:18] no, after building the src I did a depmod, but not initrd.... [12:20] howudodat: well, the old module may be in the initrd still. [12:20] howudodat: if it's loaded from initrd, that explains the issue. [12:20] try this and reboot: update-initramfs -u -k all [12:24] ryuo: that did it, can't belive I missed that, thanks for the help [16:01] hey, anyone else been having issues with discord? when im running discord and join a voice channel or voice call it will sart to stutter on occasion and crash randomly [16:07] I need help with a third monitor. Ubuntu isn't recognizing USB-C to HDMI connection as a display [16:10] hailhydra, some adapters will not work on linux, but for a start: did you have the monitor enabled from boot? [16:11] OerHeks: what does that mean? [16:11] how do I enable a monitor on boot? [16:12] did you have it plugged in, when booting? [16:12] and truned on, ofcourse [16:12] c/turned [16:12] yes [16:12] I see a SO question saying that I should change the type to thunderbolt [16:13] someone had a mini usb type c problem and they changed the settings in bios [16:13] sometimes I dual boot into my windows partition would this affect it in windows? [16:14] hailhydra: Does the monitor configuration work if you're in windows? [16:15] pragmaticenigma: yes. I have my laptop display, an HDMI and the port in question the usb type c. They all work simultamiously in Windows with latest Nvidia drivers [16:15] hailhydra: Do you have the nvidia drivers installed in Ubuntu? [16:16] In windows having 3 displays is no problem. However Ubuntu doesn't detect the usb type c [16:16] yes I have fairly new Nvidia drivers [16:16] fairly new means what, hailhydra ? [16:17] I think Nvidia is at 340 and Im at like 338 [16:17] I might be a Call of duty update or 2 off [16:17] or whatever BS patch they released over the holidays [16:18] you might want to try the driver ppa [16:18] I'll update my propriatary drivers just in case. BRB [16:18] hailhydra: applications would have no impact here... this should be strictly a driver/system configuration issue [16:18] I know I was just throwing shade on Nvidia [16:18] https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [16:18] 418-435-440 [16:20] just checkd I'm at 435 [16:20] hailhydra: best to stay focused on the support issue, and leave personal opinions aside, makes things less confusing to help you [16:20] gotcha [16:21] hailhydra: If you go into the Nvidia Control Panel application, does it detect the monitor? [16:21] Nvidia X server settings? [16:21] yep [16:22] interesting that loads a window with no options [16:22] it has a help and quit button [16:23] not sure why that would happen, unless you have dual graphics chipset in your machine. Where it's currently using the Intel Graphics instead of the Nvidia chip [16:28] looks like there is only an nvida-settings for 418 [16:28] https://dpaste.org/3eaW [16:29] so maybe just use 418 driver? [16:30] driver and settings should matchm yes, install 418? [16:31] crap 418 isn't an option in additional drivers dialog [16:31] Does anyone know of a way to fix multi-screen screen sharing in Ubuntu 18.04/19.10? Zoom seems to be the only app that can share a single monitor. Discord/Google Meet/Slack all see the multiple monitors as one giant screen [16:31] hailhydra: what is the output of : lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' [16:31] Discord is so broke for Ubuntu. [16:32] pragmaticenigma: https://dpaste.org/yWBc [16:32] discord is a binairy proprierity blob, we cannot do anything about that [16:33] Voziv: That is a question that you would have to direct to the developers of those apps (probably filing it as a bug.) The difference would be in how the application itself is asking the OS for the display configuration. There isn't really anything you can do from the Ubuntu side of the equation [16:34] https://dpaste.org/UfpE [16:35] hailhydra: I'm not sure what to recommend... you have both Nvidia and AMD graphics chipsets on that machine.
