[00:27] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dxxfGGw2hV/ [00:31] oerheks: are we staying I need to install this? [00:33] scrolling in the right [00:37] EriC^^ you said to use some command...I don't see a command in the output === HappyTree is now known as mrinfinity === Hoffman is now known as SuperHoffBowlMan [01:22] Hi [01:45] So Windows 10 has clipboard history. Does (any version of) Ubuntu have something like that? [01:48] yes [01:48] it's built into the fresh install of os [01:48] in the trey [01:49] I'm running kubuntu and it came with clipboard history built in, wasn't even aware windows had a similar native option [01:49] it's been here since the beginning of time [01:50] k_sze: only time i've ever used clipboard history extensively was on linux [01:51] usually on windows i just paste it into a notepad [01:57] hmm, might be a KDE thing? I think you're talking about Klipper? === EriC^^56 is now known as EriC^^_ === zbenjamin is now known as Guest13441 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === EriC^^50 is now known as EriC^^_ [03:05] I'll occasionally have an issue where I can ssh into the server, but if I run any command (reboot, init, even sudo) it says "Input/output error" [03:05] Google says that probably means I have a bad disk, but after I reboot it's fine [03:05] going on for over a year or two, with the issue happening every few months [03:06] so I'm pretty sure it's not a bad disk, what else could it be? [03:06] how to access a windows 7 machines' network share from ubuntu [03:07] smb://whatever in the network menu [03:07] You will need samba client installed [03:07] likely samba-common [03:09] i see, what kind of path/address does the samba client need to connect to a machine? i dont know anything about this, i am just doing this for my boss, i tried private ip and hostname so far [03:11] smb://hostnameOrIP/sharename | ex: smb://192.168.1.187/Documents [03:12] make share on the Windows machine that you have a share set up | ex: (as administrator via cmd) "net share Documents=c:\Users\Johnny\Documents\" [03:17] thanks been messing with this al lweek [03:18] this will be pretty much the same for solaris and bsd? [03:19] No idea. I would assume. [03:23] thanks === SuperHoffBowlMan is now known as HoffMan [03:34] anyone use mpd+ncmpcpp? === HoffMan is now known as Hoffman [04:22] hello [04:22] I was wondering if someone might have a minute to help me figure out why X won't let me in anymore? [04:22] it says cannot open display “default display” [04:23] gambl0re: what's your question? [04:24] how would i restart pulseaudio? [04:25] gambl0re: 'pulseaudio --kill' and 'pulseaudio --start' [04:26] ok and how would i check to verify that its running? [04:26] is pulseaudio a service? [04:26] 'pgrep pulseaudio' should give you the pid [04:26] i tried systemctl status pulseaudio but it didnt work [04:27] it's not a systemd service [04:27] i see...pidof pulseaudio seems to work also. thanks [04:38] 0 [04:39] can anyone help me debug why X won't start? [04:39] I've been at it 1 hour [04:39] SWE442: did you always have the issue immediately after installing ubuntu..or everything was fine until recently? [04:40] everything was wine [04:40] then yesterday I couldn't get in, and I updated my graphics drivers [04:40] then everything was fine [04:40] then I had to do a hard reset [04:40] SWE442: what changes did you make to the system and or it's configuration?...including but not limited to new kernels and updates of packages [04:40] now I can't get in [04:40] I removed a few packages [04:40] that were "unsupported" [04:42] I did ubuntu-support-status, and removed he five packages that "could no longer be downloaded" [04:42] was that crazy? [04:44] i wouldn't consider it crazy but you didn't really stand to gain much from doing so but a couple hundred MB of disk space ..if even that...in retrospect a few hundred MB of disk space worth not having a working GUI?.....IMO ...NO [04:44] so not crazy at all...but totally not worth it [04:45] anywhoo [04:45] lol [04:45] are you chatting from the computer right now? [04:45] I figured it would get me one step closer to upgrading when 20.04 comes out [04:45] of course not lol [04:45] no, I have a laptop [04:45] you can see what I removed here https://termbin.com/f02l [04:46] agp = apt get purge (I'm using zsh) [04:46] Ubuntu has a software called "cronopete" or something to that effect [04:47] you should make a note of it..and use it to make a back up prior to making changes...it'll save your bacon and allow you to revert or restore to a previous state...(without having to reinstall) [04:48] at this point it's quicker to just reinstall, make a mental note of the program i just told you about called "cronopete" and take steps to avoid this in the future (by having a back up taken with cronopete) [04:48] you live and learn [04:49] wait [04:49] I have to reconfigre everything? [04:49] that sounds like it will take hours [04:50] installing ubuntu takes me less than 10 minutes ...YMMV [04:50] won't that wipe all my settings? [04:50] settings? [04:51] it took me a long time to get the environment all set up [04:51] I'd like to hear about these everything/settings you are concerned about [04:51] okay, you're going to laugh [04:51] I remember I had to set the terminal colors to solarized (and figure out how to do that) [04:51] I had to set the monitor scaling [04:51] oh ...cosmetics [04:51] yeah i'm going to laugh at anything "cosmetic" [04:52] I had to install python through pyenv and get all the libraries I need [04:52] luckily I have most of my configuration files in a repository [04:52] but I still have to make softlinks to all the files [04:52] can you get on in guest mode [04:52] or a new user [04:52] I'm in the terminal [04:53] when I startx, it does this: https://termbin.com/j55o [04:53] don't startx [04:55] well, the Xorg.0.log gives a hint: https://termbin.com/b68l [04:56] or no hint, rather [04:57] installing ubuntu takes less than 10 minutes ...on the other hand..you could be sitting there looking at the blinky cursor for hours and or days [04:57] can you get on in guest mode or a new user [04:58] Ben64 I'm in as myself [04:58] that's not what i asked [04:58] here's the result of jouranlctl -b: https://termbin.com/j1cl . It says "/dev/tty1: Permission denied" [04:59] that seems bad [04:59] oh [04:59] Ben64 how do I do what you ask [04:59] ? [04:59] reboot? su? [04:59] try to log in with a new user or with guest mode [04:59] how? [04:59] it just kicked me to terminal [04:59] you click guest on the login page or click a new user after creating a new user [04:59] there is no login page because X doesn't start up [05:00] tell him you never see a log in GUI [05:00] lol exactly [05:01] nor do you see a mouse cursor to do any "clicking" what so ever [05:01] systemctl status lightdm [05:02] sorry for speaking for you right there..just thought i'd make the water less muddy [05:02] "Unit lightdm.service could not be found." [05:02] tatertots thanks I appreciate it [05:03] and you installed ubuntu? [05:04] Ben64 I didn't reinstall it, no [05:04] Ben64 I feel like this should be a quick fix? [05:04] lol [05:04] lol [05:04] you keep answering different questions than what i ask :| [05:04] was a quick "break" [05:05] lol [05:05] i'm out [05:05] ben64 sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking. I installed ubuntu 1 year ago [05:05] ben64 okay, thanks anyway, goodnight [05:07] would this help? https://askubuntu.com/questions/21309/how-to-restore-xserver [05:07] reinstalling just the x-server? [05:07] did you make bookmarks or remember all the tutorials or youtube videos you used to get your phython stuff going? [05:07] tatertots, I know how to do it, it's just painful [05:07] oh okay [05:07] I don't understand why tty1 would be permission denied [05:07] makes no sense [05:09] SWE442: in terminal> pwd [05:09] there's an Xwrapper.config or somethign file that specifies who is allowed to start an X server, if you're doing startx as non-root that might be preventing it [05:09] SWE442: what is the result? [05:09] "/home/neil" [05:09] SWE442: in terminal> ls -alh|nc termbin.com 9999 [05:10] how does this help ou? [05:10] SWE442: if you don't want to share it that is acceptable...like i said it's faster to reinstall ubuntu [05:11] hang on [05:11] I had some dead symlinks [05:11] SWE442: there's some stuff called xauthority...it'd take a long time for me to explain the details..i'd just have you reinstall but if it's xauthority it is possible it coudl be a quick fix [05:11] .profile was dead [05:11] could that be it? [05:12] SWE442: do what you know good..and if it fixes it...then it was it...if you take your action and it has no effect ...it wasn't it [05:14] okay, I'm just going to reboot and pray [05:17] didn't work [05:17] can I do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [05:17] is that dangerous [05:17] sure you can do that [05:18] is it weird that gdm.service is not found? [05:18] when I do service gdm restart [05:18] i don't think it's dangerous at all...the damage is already done...how much more broken can it be [05:18] lol [05:20] nope I don't think that is weird at all...having heard you explain the chronological events that led up to this situation i do not think it is weird at all [05:20] chronological order of events [05:21] do I want gnome or lightdm? [05:22] your preference [05:22] either one [05:22] how do I know what I had before? [05:22] I think gnome is default, right? [05:22] on 18.04 [05:22] sounds right [05:22] you can always try the other [05:23] okay, got it working! [05:23] good deal [05:23] sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktopsudo gnome-shell gnomesudo systemctl restart gdm3. [05:23] sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktopsudo gnome-shell gnomesudo systemctl restart gdm3. [05:24] sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktopsudo gnome-shell gnomesudo systemctl restart gdm3. [05:24] ugh [05:24] ... [05:24] wrong window :) [05:24] not sure how to format [05:24] but that's three line [05:24] s [05:24] is how I did it [05:24] well, thanks for being patient with me [05:24] glad I don't have to reinstall [05:24] CRONOPETE [05:24] remember [05:25] how does it work/ [05:25] ? [05:26] okay I see [05:26] thanks [05:26] it creates a backup/restore point for you to go back to ...in case you do something else in the future that has a negative impact on the system...will save you time and frustration [05:26] got it [05:26] it uses local or cloud storage? [05:27] you could probably use what ever storage you wanted to use. [05:28] kk [05:28] thanks [05:28] when it's restore time would probably help if you didn't need firefox or chrome to get to your back up...you sure as heck didn't have firefox or chrome during your most recent disaster [05:28] ....meaning local storage is probably your best friend [05:49] Hi guys, I made a small script and it's set on Crontab [05:50] It seems to run, but skips over the poweroff command [05:50] Does the poweroff command have to run as sudo or anything special when running it in a script as a cron job? [05:51] cybertruck2077, poweroff is in /sbin/ on my system, so I'm betting it does require sudo [05:52] OK thanks, I'm reading up now, seems you have to give the full path [05:52] Yeah that too, seems the cronjob has to run as root [05:58] weird, sudo crontab -e saves it to a weird place [05:58] but when you do sudo crontab -l afterwards, it's added and everything. [05:59] maybe something writes the tmp crontab to a permanent root one once you saved after sudo crontab -e [06:01] yup it doesn't save it directly to the crontab file, but a tmp location first, in case anything goes wrong [06:01] patrixl, ah OK thanks, yeah that makes sense [06:11] np [06:38] Ok I did something really stupid and I need help urgently [06:38] I accidentally clobbered the first ~300MB of /dev/sda [06:38] the system is still running but gdisk shows there's no partition table [06:39] clobbered how [06:39] flexible io tester [06:39] told it to test /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb [06:39] oof [06:39] Should have been using WWN [06:39] I hit Ctrl-C like instantly so only less than the first 300MB have been written [06:39] I'm sorry to tell you, but the system is likely only still running because of what is resident in memory. A reboot will be catastrophic I'm afraid. [06:39] yeah [06:39] I know [06:40] but it's a GPT formatted disk, so I'm wondering if I can recreate the partition table and reinstall the bootloader [06:40] because I don't think the first partition actually starts until well after 300MB for GPT disks [06:40] that's not true [06:41] 300mb is well into the filesystem [06:41] you can maybe use testdisk to rebuild later partitions but it's pretty broken probably [06:42] I'm executing binaries that aren't in the cache [06:42] so the FS is able to find stuff so far [06:42] it's ext4 [06:42] do you have backups? [06:42] this is just a test server but I'd rather not waste hours reinstalling everything [06:43] but if this dies, nothing lost except wasted time reinstalling [06:43] well gdisk default start sector is 2048 [06:44] that's 8MB [06:45] well time to recreate the partition table and see if ext4 can recover some stuff [06:46] oooh yay GPT stores recovery information [06:46] good learning opportunity [06:46] i'd just start recreating the system rather than waste time trying to recover, but that's me [06:47] let's see how far this recovery attempt can go [06:48] sure, if you have the time [06:50] well I was breaking in my new set of 24 8TB SAS disks and testing my LSI 9400 card [06:50] the temptation to run flexible IO tester was too strong :( [06:51] will only use WWN paths from now on lol [06:52] dev/sd* is far too dangerous === umask078 is now known as umask077 [11:13] where's the support for 20.04 again? can't find it in /topic [11:14] oh also applies for 19.10, how to get rid of chromium snap, i can't rebuild 79.0.3945.130 on 19.10 [11:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList mentions #ubuntu+1 [11:17] Habbie: thanks [11:33] Have there been reports of display freezing with the 5.3 kernel series? Seeing this on multiple systems with intel and nouveau drivers. Mouse cursor remains responsive as does remote SSH session. Nothing in any logs to give a clue. [11:33] TJ-: i saw such reports, but can't remember where [11:34] Also, they're on multiple releases (18.04, 19.10) but same 5.3 series [11:34] tarzeau: hmm... not had much luck so far finding anything on LP [11:34] what data is shared using ubuntu? [11:34] can they see my terminal commands? [11:35] indoorcat: https://lwn.net/Articles/726902/ [11:36] indoorcat: ah that's the one i wanted to find https://ma.ttias.be/what-exactly-being-sent-ubuntu-motd/ [11:40] Just had a display freeze for 5 minutes on 18.04/5.3.0-29 ... then it just continues as if nothing happened. Originally thought it was related to Firefox/opengl hardware accel but had it when using PDF viewer and others, but does seem to be related to GUI applications doing more than basic rendering [11:45] TJ-: yeah. had to switch back to 4.whatever. it affects newer intel gpu. [11:46] legreffier: I'm seeing it with nvidia/nouveau too [11:46] TJ-: isn [11:46] with optimus , right ? [11:47] legreffier: no [11:47] (it should defaults to intel in basic use, the intel part is at fault though.) [11:48] As I said, this is single GPUs not optimus [11:49] right now it's happening almost every time I interact with a Firefox (v74) window ... entire DE is unresponsive whilst mouse cursor still responds... then will unfreeze at some points, sometimes 10 seconds sometimes 5 minutes. No traces in any logs [11:52] TJ-: i had the same problem, use older 4.1x kernel. [11:52] you should find traces in `dmesg` [11:53] legreffier: nothing [11:54] I've been seeing this across at least 3 systems all with different GPUs, commonality seems to be 5.3 kernel series. [11:54] TJ-: do you get higher fan loads too? [11:55] i noticed my NUC on bionic working a lot harder lately [11:55] lotuspsychje: no, although 2 of them don't have fans. Everything looks 'normal' from an SSH session, no processes hogging CPU or whatever [11:56] kk [11:56] lotuspsychje: you know me... if I'm here asking there's something VERY WEIRD going on :D [11:56] yeah lol [11:56] well all i can say, alot is going on, on 5.3 and 5.4 right now.. [11:57] Maybe some added some code to the kernel: "if (strncmp( user_id.name, "tj", 2) == 0) { hide(); }" [11:57] lol [12:08] hi everyone - I've installed ubuntu server on my Raspberry PI 4 (now offically supported), but neither ifconfig nor network-manager packages are installed with the system. Given that I've no access to an ethernet connection but only wifi, is there any tool provided with the system that I can use to configure the wireless lan? Or is there a way to [12:08] do it by changing something in etc/network/interfaces? [12:08] hi everyone - I've installed ubuntu server on my Raspberry PI 4 (now offically supported), but neither ifconfig nor network-manager packages are installed with the system. Given that I've no access to an ethernet connection but only wifi, is there any tool provided with the system that I can use to configure the wireless lan? Or is there a way to [12:08] do it by changing something in etc/network/interfaces? Thanks everyone [12:08] valecri: it doesn't use ifupdown, -server uses systemd-networkd [12:09] Thanks TJ (and sorry for the duplicate message, I tried to edit the message like in Slack :D ) [12:09] valecri: it should have a netplan YAML config, via /etc/netplan/ which will auto-create the required systemd-networkd config on each boot [12:09] valecri: check if the directory /etc/netplan/ exists [12:10] valecri: do you want the Pi to get IPv4 addresses via DHCP ? [12:10] that would be great [12:10] the directory exists, by the way [12:11] valecri: OK, the 1st example here should do you: https://netplan.io/examples [12:11] valecri: HOWEVER you DO NEED to change the interface name to match what the Pi has [12:12] yes, in my case wlan0, I got it using ip [12:12] valecri: so in your case replace the example's "enp3s0:" with the Pi's name, I *think* it'd be "eth0" but use "ip link show" to check [12:12] valecri: OK :) [12:12] thanks TJ! you've been very helpful [12:12] I'll try now [12:12] in which case for Wifi then https://netplan.io/examples#connecting-to-a-wpa-personal-wireless-network [12:15] valecri, you can also pre-configure the wireless on a new installation via the "network-config" file on the boot partition. In other words, after flashing the SD card, re-insert it then open that file with a text editor; I've left some examples of wifi config in there [12:16] valecri, however - be warned that there is an issue with cloud-init setting up wifi (not entirely surprising given there's precious few clouds that use wifi!) - it'll copy the setting to netplan, but *won't* apply it on the first boot. Subsequent boots should find the configuration successfully [12:16] Howdy all [12:16] thanks waveform [12:17] waveform: so more of a foggy-init then? :p [12:18] TJ-, heh - something like that :) [12:56] hi [12:56] Is there any way to build ubuntu completely from source with native optimizing without manually getting source and dependency packages? [12:57] My supercomputer only officially supports Ubuntu, with a custom kernel module set from the companies who I commissioned to do it [12:57] so I can't roll Gentoo if I want them to fix bugs in ROMs and firmware, or phsysically fix something wired wrong or such [12:58] mrsideways: That is not a supported topic on this channel. You're welcome to experiment, but this channel and all Ubuntu's official channels, only support the official Ubuntu flavors as distributed from Ubuntu's official website and mirrors [12:58] pragmaticenigma, is there a channel I should ask in? [12:58] or do I need to contact cannonical? [13:00] If you have a support contract with Canonical, then you're welcome to ask them. This channel is run by volunteers of the Ubuntu community. I don't know what the response would be from Canonical directly. As for other IRC channels, you can try asking in ##linux [13:08] greetings, why do most ps commands not work? eg: ps -p pid -o etime. returns with the ps help screen. [13:09] isomari: it works for me, ubuntu 16.04 [13:10] isomari: what does "dpkg -l procps" show for version? [13:10] also "type -a ps" [13:10] isomari: You need to use an actual process PID for "pid" [13:17] isomari: you really should read the help/man page and understand commands before just copying and pasting them into your terminal. [13:20] EriC^: ii procps 2:3.3.15-2ubuntu3 amd64 /proc file system utilities [13:21] EriC^: I C the prob. my ps is an alias. [13:23] !cross posting | isomari [13:24] !crosspost | isomari [13:24] isomari: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [13:35] hi waveform, I tried TJ's solution but I can't connect. this is the yaml file already in the /etc/netplan/ folder (called 50-cloud-init.yaml): [13:35] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HgTx3XqHRG/ [13:36] if I run the command "ip a" on the rPI, it gives me back: [13:37] wlan0: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 [13:39] however, there's no internet connection and if I try to run the command "ping www.google.com" it gives me "Temporary failure in name resolution" [13:39] do you have any idea why I can't connect to my network? [13:41] valecri, does it works if you use the default 50-cloud-init.yaml file ? [13:42] ioria, the default file stopped at line 7, I added the rest - so there was no wifi in the default file. Also, I have no access to wired connection - only wireless [13:44] valecri, ping 8.8.8.8 [13:45] it says "From 127.0.0.1 icmp_seq=[progressive number] Destination Host Unreachable [13:47] valecri have you EVER successfully used the internet on this installation ? [13:48] valecri: you can say "it was working fine earlier"...or you can say "internet has never worked" [13:48] if by installation you mean this rPI4, then yes - previously I had raspbian and both ethernet and wireless were working [13:49] if by installation you mean the wireless network, then it is currently working as it is the one I'm using from this computer :D [13:49] you're most likely NOT using raspbian at the moment, so by "installation" i mean ubuntu or the OS that exhibits this symptom [13:49] I hope that makes it clear now [13:49] it is Ubuntu Server 19.10 and this is my first installation, so it has never worked [13:50] I understand [13:50] is this the only edition/version of Ubuntu you have ever used on this device? [13:50] yes [13:51] valecri, can we try with a static ip config ? [13:51] valecri: ubuntu server edition does NOT contain network manager which someone like yourself would depend on for connectivity.....try the "desktop" version of ubuntu [13:51] I installed the files on the microsd and it run flawlessly - OS boots perfectly, but I can't get wifi to work [13:52] tatertots, Ubuntu for RaspberryPI 4 only comes in Server edition, no desktop manager [13:52] valecri, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qJtRM9krSc/ and reboot [13:52] ewww [13:52] sucks for many RasPi users then [13:52] language tatertots [13:53] It doesn't suck, given the target, I would say it is just my particular case together with my ignorance :) [13:54] thanks ioria, I'll try now [13:54] valecri, be sure the wifi module is correctly enabled [13:58] I have two apps (firefox and terminal) which when I try to play a sound in one vs the other it causes the audio to "pop", sort of like a power saving issue. However power saving is turned off for this device via a udev rule, and it only happens if I pause my audio (youtube video), then cause my terminal to make a sound (bell). If I keep the youtube video playing and have the bell play in the terminal things sound fine. Same issue [13:58] happens when I get notifications from various applications (slack / discord). Any ideas what might be causing this? [13:58] valecri, unless that's a cloud image, (ls /etc/cloud) in that case you need to disable cloud-init [14:02] hi Ioria, I copied from the pastbin but it doesn't work [14:03] valecri, ls /etc/cloud [14:04] result is: build.info cloud.cfg and dirs cloud.cfg.d and templates [14:04] how can I be sure the wifi module is enabled? [14:05] valecri, sudo nano /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg [14:05] valecri, put this in there : network: {config: disabled} [14:06] the file 99-disable-network-config.cfg does not exist [14:06] should I create it? [14:06] it's a new file [14:06] yes [14:06] there's only "99-fake-cloud.cfg" [14:06] it's a new file [14:09] ok, done ioria [14:09] valecri, cd /etc/netplan ; sudo mv 50-cloud-init.yaml 01-netcfg.yaml [14:10] done, ioria [14:10] valecri, lspci -nnk | grep -i network -A 4 [14:10] should I run "sudo netplan apply"? [14:11] ioria, that command returns no results [14:12] valecri, can you paste ' lspci -nnk ' [14:15] result is: 00:00.0 PCI Bridge [0604]: Broadcom Inc. Kernel driver in use pcieport, then 01:00.0 USB controller [0c03]: VIA Technologies Inc. Kernel in use: xhci_hcd [14:15] (sorry but I have to manually copy what I see on screen) [14:16] ioria If I run "ip a" or "lshw -class network" the results are different [14:17] as I can see both ethernet (that now is disabled) and wireless [14:17] valecri, we are interested in the 'Kernel driver in use:' line [14:18] valecri, take and post a pic, idk [14:19] ioria, that's pretty much it, I copied that entire line. it just says "Kernel driver in use: pcieport" and then the new line is the one about the USB controller [14:19] valecri, dmesg | grep wlan0 [14:21] ioria, result is [ 21.570196] IPv6: ADDRCONF (NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [14:21] valecri, sudo netplan apply and reboot [14:24] ioria, `ping www.google.com` still returns "Temporary failure in name resolution" [14:24] valecri, ip a [14:24] of course the network credentials are the right ones, and the IP address I've chosen is not in use by anyone in this network [14:26] Is it possible the network gateway will not respond to any IP address it didn't provide that is part of the IP address pool used by DHCP? [14:27] valecri, ip a [14:27] valecri, "sudo netplan apply" should apply the settings in /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml (which are derived from those specified in /boot/firmware/network-config) [14:28] if it returns nothing, that's generally fine (no output means no errors) === umask078 is now known as umask077 [14:32] you shouldn't need to reboot after sudo netplan apply, but as mentioned before there is an issue with wifi working on the first boot (I can't remember if that applies with netplan apply or not so maybe just reboot anyway and see if it's worked) [14:32] ioria, sorry for the delay. I took a screenshot https://pasteboard.co/ISYSFum.jpg [14:32] unfortunately I needed to resort to old folk's method: an actual picture of the screen :D [14:33] as, of course, that rPI is not connected to any network :D [14:33] waveform, I always run that command, and if it wasn't working I rebooted once or twice at least [14:33] valecri, what's the problem with the cable connection ? [14:34] what do you mean? [14:34] valecri, why you're not using it ? [14:34] valecri, okay, that shows you've got a 192.168.x.x address on wlan0 so your wifi is working (some dhcp server must've sent that) [14:35] waveform, we set it manually [14:35] ah sorry - missed that (bouncing around the place today) [14:35]
