[00:45] <ericderace> if one has a USB attached wireless card (atheros) and wants to pass it through to a guest VM (using QEMU/KVM), when the host is Ubuntu Desktop 19.10 - how do I prevent the host OS from loading up the card in network-manager?
[00:46] <bindi> blacklist the module
[00:49] <ericderace> right. to find the module associated with it, what do I do? watch the output of dmesg?
[00:51] <ericderace> [89376.674720] ath9k_htc 3-2:1.0: ath9k_htc: FW Version: 1.4
[00:51] <ericderace> I assume here ath9k_htc would be the module name?
[00:54] <bindi> probably
[00:55] <bindi> look for other ath9k as well
[00:55] <bindi> try 'lsmod'
[00:58] <ericderace> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9vQ6FFjf8r/
[00:59] <ericderace> there are 4 in there. my other card is intel, I believe it uses iwlwifi. I assume that I'd be safe blacklisting all ath* modules
[00:59] <bindi> probably :P
[00:59] <bindi> i've only ever tried with a nvidia gpu, no first hand experience with others
[01:00] <ericderace> I'd like to try that as well, pass it to the guest. did you do that on a laptop ?
[01:01] <bindi> no, a workstation pc
[01:01] <ericderace> ok. did it work for you?
[01:01] <bindi> each proxmox update broke it and i got rid of it :p
[01:35] <FurretUber> When using the Chromium snap, how do I add policies? I want to block the dinosaur game
[01:39] <sarnold> FurretUber: is there sometnig in ~/snap/ that has eg chromium user data, similar to the pre-snap ~/.config/chromium?
[01:45] <FurretUber> Yes, but I think it was located in /etc/chromium-browser/policies/managed before
[01:45] <sarnold> ahh
[01:59] <FurretUber> I tried creating the directory in /snap/chromium/current but it failed, as expected. There is no way to add system-wide policies using the Chromium snap? The dinosaurs will be running everywhere
[02:00] <sarnold> run little dinos run!
[02:00] <sarnold> FurretUber: could you report a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap ?
[02:00] <sarnold> (I got that link from https://snapcraft.io/chromium )
[02:15] <FurretUber> Well, here is it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1866732

[02:56] <imi> hi. why update-manager says there's nothing to update when apt list --upgradable says otherwise?
[03:00] <bigfluff> I'm a longtime Ubuntu user thinking of switching to KDE desktop.  What is the general consensus when it comes to doing this?  Should I do a fresh-install with Kubuntu, or is it best to do a KDE install over Gnome on Ubuntu?
[03:01] <SlidingHorn> bigfluff: My opinion: Full fresh install. Having multiple DEs installed can cause some havok
[03:03] <bigfluff> That's about the train of thought that I was on.  Somehow I view Kubuntu as a distant relative to Ubuntu.  How well-connected are the projects?
[03:06] <SlidingHorn> Same underlying distro...different DEs and a couple differen application choices. Kubuntu is still an official release under the Ubuntu umbrella
[03:10] <imi> I'm a gnome-ubuntu user, and I happen to use several kde apps, like kolourpaint

[03:20] <spicy_icecream> is it a South African thing, to not know how to spell flavours or?
[03:24] <WaV> In American English it is spelled flavor, so there's that.

[03:57] <aqiank> Hi guys, how to let two servers from different network talk to each other? I set up a router on both networks and added routing for both servers that has the router as the gateway but they still can't ping each other. I also set net.ipv4.ip_forward to 1 on the router. What am I missing?
[04:07] <lotuspsychje> aqiank: sounds like a ##networking question?
[04:07] <lotuspsychje> spicy_icecream: try #ubuntu-discuss please

[04:34] <DynV> Is there a Windows PeerBlock equivalent (for ubuntu) ? It's a program that block anti-P2P, spyware, advertising & government.
[04:36] <DynV> It will even block you if you try to access such websites, which you can disable it and after you're done browsing it, you can re-enable.
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> DynV: i think you can benefit firefox addons
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> DynV: or a privacy browser like ephemeral browser for example
[05:54] <Katnip> or brave

[05:59] <sumagna> hello
[06:05] <sublim20> *taps mic* is this thing on?  (checking if i can post in here please ignore)
[06:39] <ducasse> DynV: check dansguardian and/or pihole
[06:39] <ducasse> sublim20: please don't do that in here
[06:41] <DynV> are these easy to disable & enable?
[06:54] <DynV> ducasse: ^
[06:57] <ducasse> DynV: i've never tried dansguardian, so i can't say. for pihole you would set another dns server to bypass pihole
[06:58] <ducasse> DynV: i *think* dansguardian works as a proxy, so you'd just switch your browser settings to turn it off
[07:01] <ducasse> DynV: there is #dansguardian and #pihole, but the first seems really empty. you can try #pihole and ask there to find out if it would suit you

[12:53] <pragmaticenigma> andenar: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/logon-banner-17-10/1265
[12:53] <pragmaticenigma> that might set you down the right path
[13:00] <EriC^^> snake-venom: yes run that command
[13:00] <EriC^^> snake-venom: it seems that it has no dependencies
[13:00] <snake-venom> Issue has been solved and i installed lamp
[13:00] <snake-venom> thanks..
[13:01] <snake-venom> working fine as i want LAMP
[13:01] <EriC^^> snake-venom: great, no problem
[13:03] <snake-venom> +1 for EriC^^ :)
[13:03] <EriC^^> :)
[13:31] <imi> which package ships the vboxdrv.ko file?
[13:37] <konrad2> Hey, can I ask a question here, about software recomendations? Or is this agains TOS?
[13:38] <leftyfb> konrad2: I would suggest #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:38] <konrad2> leftyfb: ok, thanks!
[13:57] <Captain_Proton> Anyone use GSConnect? How do you clear old txt message for the message app? I have deleted them for and have reboot the computer.
[13:59] <Captain_Proton> from my phone*
[14:14] <pragmaticenigma> Captain_Proton: I would recommend looking for support at https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki
[15:16] <SirScott> looking for some help diagnosing a reallllly slow boot up.  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RKqQZmpvyj/ -- this is dmesg output after  boot
[15:27] <ioria> SirScott, try to boot a previous kernel (-76, for example) and check if you still get  Call Traces (line 859 and et seq.)
[15:33] <braindead_> i want to install sudo apt-get install libuv1.dev but i get couldnt find any package by regex libuv1.dev
[15:33] <braindead_> and unable to locate package libuv1.dev
[15:34] <ioria> !info libuv1-dev
[15:34] <braindead_> its on 14.04
[15:35] <leftyfb> braindead_: Ubuntu 14.04 is EOL and not supported here
[15:35] <braindead_> what does that mean? i try to install netdata and it seems to need that package
[15:35] <SirScott> ioria: will do.  Just waiting for it to come back after after my last boot attempt.
[15:36] <braindead_> leftyfb all right
[15:36] <ioria> braindead_, not a good idea to run 14.04, but look for some ppa (like this ppa:acooks/libwebsockets6)
[15:37] <braindead_> i try to update the server
[15:52] <Dev0n> hey, is using ppa:deadsnakes/ppa the recommended way to getting python3.7 on ubuntu 18.04?
[16:07] <SirScott> ioria: much improved with -76, thanks for the suggestion
[16:08] <pragmaticenigma> SirScott: Running an older kernel is intended as a troubleshooting step. Not a solution. You should find out what the differences are between the two boots to figure out the delay
[16:08] <ioria> SirScott, is that a vm ?
[16:14] <SirScott> ioria: no, it's a physical machine
[16:15] <ioria> SirScott, how many external devices attached ?
[16:15] <SirScott> pragmaticenigma: the difference between the two boots is the kernel. ;)
[16:16] <SirScott> ioria: there are three drives, 1 SSD, two spinning platters
[16:16] <SirScott> ioria: one cdrom drive, and a usb keyboard and usb mouse
[16:18] <ioria> SirScott, cat /etc/issue
[16:19] <SirScott> ioria: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS \n \l
[16:19] <ioria> SirScott, and the OS is installed on the ssd drive ?
[16:20] <SirScott> ioria: yes, that's correct
[16:20] <pragmaticenigma> SirScott: And the differences is that the new kernel contains security patches and fixes. Which is why the new kernel was released (albeit a buggy experience for you.) That is why you shouldn't just stop with running the older kernel as "fixed"
[16:21] <SirScott> pragmaticenigma: great, got any suggestions for how to make the new kernel work?
[16:21] <SirScott> pragmaticenigma: are there newer still kernels available for the LTS release?
[16:21] <ioria> SirScott, with systemd-udevd sometimes the problems is the hardware: i'd try 2 things; 1) disconnect all but the ssd 2) the the new kernel in the HWE
[16:22] <ioria> SirScott, you can install the 5.3 kernel
[16:22] <anden> i can no longer run k4dirstat, getting this error:
[16:22] <anden> k4dirstat: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5ConfigGui.so.5: symbol _ZTI18QXmlDefaultHandler version Qt_5 not defined in file libQt5Xml.so.5 with link time reference
[16:23] <ioria> SirScott,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[16:24] <SirScott> ioria: great, i'll try 5.3.  i don't have physical access to the machine at the moment to try removing hardware
[16:24] <ioria> i see
[16:25] <SirScott> rebooting into 5.3.  set your timers!
[16:37] <SirScott> back up in 5.3, took a long time (10 minutes) with the same stack traces (INFO: task systemd-udevd:274 blocked for more than 120 seconds.) seen in dmesg as with 4.15.0-88-generic
[16:38] <Coraxyn> Morning again
[16:39] <Coraxyn> Did fresh install of Ubuntu 18.0.  Software updates.  Then tried to install AMD driver for GPU
[16:39] <Coraxyn> Install failed with message about kernel DKVM....something
[16:39] <Coraxyn> Any hints?
[16:40] <leftyfb> Coraxyn: 18.0. is not a version of ubuntu
[16:40] <oerheks> hint: what gpu? what driver?
[16:40] <Coraxyn> Oops, 18.04
[16:40] <Coraxyn> One on Ubuntu site.  LTS
[16:41] <Coraxyn> oerheks: Radeon RX5500 XT.  From AMD site for Ubuntu 18.04
[16:41] <Coraxyn> No difference.  1024x768
[16:43] <braindead_> that ubuntu update didnt worked out that well :/
[16:43] <oerheks> this page stet you need Linux 5.5 Git and Mesa 20.0-devel via the Oibaf PPA, https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-rx5500xt-linux&num=2
[16:44] <ioria> SirScott, bios updated ? dmesg -t | grep ^DMI
[16:46] <oerheks> and what amdgpu-pro exactly??
[16:46] <Coraxyn> Did not install pro
[16:46] <Coraxyn> amdgpu-install -y
[16:47] <Coraxyn> oerheks: Tied that.  GPU runs fine, but no WiFi
[16:47] <Coraxyn> oerheks: Can have one, but not other
[16:47] <Coraxyn> Intel 3168 wifi chip
[16:48] <SirScott> ioria: on F6, here's what's available: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-H270-HD3-rev-10/support#support-dl-bios
[16:48] <oerheks> Coraxyn, how odd, you should have amdgpu standard installed, why from the site?
[16:49] <oerheks> reverse that, unsupported here
[16:49] <Coraxyn> Yes, was told that 5.5 series kernels are not supported here
[16:50] <Coraxyn> Have latest BIOS installed
[16:50] <Coraxyn> BTW, am on Mac right now
[16:50] <Coraxyn> It just works ;)
[16:50] <ioria> SirScott, the latest is 2018/04/24 ; check if you got it
[16:50] <anden> welp, i guess noone can help me with that, so i just ended up installing qdirstat instead and that works at least
[16:51] <anden> weird tho that it randomly broke like that
[16:51] <Coraxyn> Moment please
[16:51] <SirScott> ioria: nope, on F6, so I can certainly upgrade the bios next time i have the chance.  Just that nothing in the description about the release seems to match anything related to the issue
[16:52] <ioria> SirScott, paste v for the channel
[16:52] <oerheks> too new hardware, common problem in linux
[16:52] <ioria> SirScott, i mean paste   systemd-analyze blame
[16:53] <oerheks> and "GPU runs fine, but no WiFi" .. you started wit gpu problems.. i am off, eating, good luck!
[16:53] <SirScott> ioria: sure, fwiw, the times of that are relatively short, they don't seem to capture kernel times
[16:53] <Coraxyn> Aorus Elite BIOS F11
[16:53] <SirScott> ioria: e.g. the longest one is 6.267s NetworkManager-wait-online.service.  full paste pending.
[16:55] <SirScott> ioria: systemd-analyze blame -> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vfyfGZvqcz/
[17:05] <ioria> SirScott, paste again 'dmesg -T'
[17:08] <SirScott> ioria: will do.  is there a cli tool for paste.ubuntu.com?
[17:08] <ioria> SirScott, dmesg -T | pastebinit   (or | nc termbin.com 9999)
[17:08] <SirScott> ioria: thanks!
[17:09] <SirScott> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/k3gHWkWHnD/
[17:12] <ioria> SirScott, i think is a usb/hw issue
[17:13] <Coraxyn> WARNING: amdgpu dkms failed for running kernel
[17:14] <ioria> SirScott, about the uas module
[17:15] <SirScott> ioria: what i find strange is how late '[sdc] Attached SCSI disk' shows up.  (2nd to last line.)
[17:16] <ioria> SirScott,  are those 3 drives usb connected ?
[17:16] <SirScott> ioria: afaik they are sata cables internally.  i'll scan and see if something is attached via usb
[17:18] <cohonen> Hello, is there a way to get all my network profiles in the top right menu and not just wireless accesspoints ?
[17:18] <cohonen> eg static ethernet ones , or fancy profiles with vlan's etc ?
[17:19] <SirScott> ioria: in lshw,  /dev/sdc is showing under usbhost:1.  Maybe there is an external drive connected.
[17:20] <ioria> SirScott,   uas is loaded only for usb storages so grep the idVendor=  idProduct=
[17:22] <SirScott> ioria: asking someone with physical access to disconnect that drive.  Vendor: ASMT, Product: 2105
[17:23] <SirScott> ioria: removed & rebooting
[17:26] <littlekimmy> hey I have find . -mtime -3 vs find . -mtime +3 what's the difference?
[17:29] <Fjorgynn> so
[17:31] <SirScott> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8G9MtrKMxw/  -- dmesg -T, after the USB device was detached
[17:31] <lotuspsychje> can we help you Fjorgynn ?
[17:31] <ioria> SirScott,   much better
[17:31] <cohonen> you can help me :D
[17:32] <ioria> SirScott,  but you're booting still 4.15.0-88
[17:32] <lotuspsychje> cohonen: when volunteers know, they will pick up your question
[17:32] <SirScott> ioria: agreed!  Yes, I had only booted into 5.3 for the one boot, i didn't make it the default.  I'll try 5.3 again.

[17:55] <cadsys> Hi, Can anyone please check this question : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60622864/why-i-am-getting-warrning-edac-skx-ecc-is-disabled-on-imc-0-after-updating-the
[17:55] <cadsys> I am getting warnings during boot time
[17:55] <[twisti]> can someone help me debug an old, terrible service ? i think it might be a sysV script wrapped to be used under systemd. im running lts 16 and im just trying to figure out how and what is called exactly, but i dont know the system well enough to debug on my own
[17:56] <pragmaticenigma> [twisti]: This is a channel for supporting offical ubuntu releases and software distributed through official ubuntu software repositories. Ubuntu moved to systemd and no longer has any supportable version that make use of the older init systems.
[17:57] <[twisti]> yes, i use systemd too
[17:58] <pragmaticenigma> [twisti]: Your question is not supported here
[17:58] <[twisti]> oh ... kay
[18:00] <TJ-> pragmaticenigma: we still ship loads of packages with sysv init scripts
[18:03] <pragmaticenigma> Wasn't aware
[18:05] <TJ-> [twisti]: generally a SysVinit script in /etc/init.d/ will be 'converted' to a systemd unit by systemd-sysv-generator early in boot time, that'll create the unit file in /run/systemd/generator.late/<name>/.service
[18:05] <TJ-> err, typo, /run/systemd/generator.late/<name>.service
[18:06] <oerheks> cadsys, seems like you have a mix od ecc and non-ecc memory, or a switch in your bios set to not check ecc, or memory corruption
[18:15] <[twisti]> TJ-: its not in there, but somehow, 'systemctl start docker' ends up calling /etc/init.d/docker
[18:16] <[twisti]> which itself calls /lib/lsb/init-functions and at that point i lose track of where the execution happens
[18:17] <TJ-> [twisti]: try "systemctl cat docker" - it will show which files its using
[18:18] <[twisti]> thank you! that is EXACTLY what i was looking for!
[18:18] <[twisti]> its using /lib/systemd/system/docker.service which i was, incorrectly, searching for under /etc
[18:19] <cadsys> oerheks: I got this warnings due to ubuntu bios update
[18:19] <cadsys> I just updated my bios because I got notification from ubuntu software center
[18:20] <oerheks> check settings?
[18:33] <sptz> I got a ubuntu mirror error to ftp.uionett.no now during a install. is there other mirrors in Norway?
[18:33] <sarnold> sptz: what error did you get?
[18:34] <oerheks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[18:34] <lotuspsychje> cadsys: did you try several kernels to reproduce that error?
[18:34] <oerheks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ubuntu.uib.no-archive is up2date
[18:34] <sptz> sarnold bad archive mirror
[18:35] <sptz> ahh thanks I didn't find that oerheks
[18:35] <oerheks> have fun!
[18:35] <sptz> I knew it existed
[18:35] <sptz> :)
[18:43] <sptz> I think there is nothing wrong with the mirror I mentioned above as I got the same from uib and our ISP mirror on blix.com. Guess the VM have some unrelated network issues. Thanks for your help anyway :)

[19:13] <|\n> hi guys, i've apt-build the ntfs-3g and stuff with -Wshift-overflow=2 -fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover -fstack-protector and now witness the "runlist.c:897:26: runtime error: left shift of negative value -48" on mount attempt, should it be reported as a bug? bionic
[19:15] <oerheks> why building ntfs-3g ? ubuntu gives the latest stable. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g
[19:16] <sarnold> |\n: very strange; on a version I've got unpacked I see this likne 897: deltaxcn = (deltaxcn << 8) + buf[b];
[19:16] <|\n> good question, i've discovered my box today with unknown state of the ntfs mountpoint
[19:18] <SirScott> ioria: the user was also complaining that while ubuntu was now booting in 14 seconds, the BIOS was taking 3 minutes to get through.  Long story short, quote from them: "Changed electric connectors for DVD and it started up fast as well as the DVD now works!"
[19:19] <|\n> sarnold, sorry for asking, would it be possible to hit the sha256 from your runlist.c ?
[19:19] <SirScott> ioria: now it's back to booting up in a very reasonable amount of time.  thanks again :)
[19:19] <sarnold> a2306d1a474d3f91267ddbd3238721f43eaf40d1f9852a89bf3b7d4f21bd0d18  libntfs-3g/runlist.c
[19:19] <|\n> same
[19:20] <toonage> has anyone come across sound issues when using display port. Audio is half normal speed for some reason?
[19:21] <sarnold> |\n: oh. now I re-read your message, it's about the shifted value, not the shift itself. siiiiiiigh.
[19:22] <|\n> it has pretty comments around heh
[19:22] <|\n> not that i get all this stuff and underhood space in general
[19:24] <sarnold> |\n: you're right, the comments here are really good
[19:25] <sarnold> |\n: probably they are already aware of this one, they did write that seems silly :) but -- they may not have expected it to be hit at runtime, either. did you start investigating this because something wasn't workingt correctly?
[19:27] <|\n> several hours without supervision, powered on box, 5400 1tb hdd with backups, can't read and write while smart is okay, looks "dead" while it's not
[19:27] <|\n> and it's not
[19:27] <|\n> that is the reason i've prepared the attempt
[19:28] <sarnold> do you have a windows machine handy to try a fsck?
[19:29] <|\n> it's strange when you leave something powered on and it does nothing and then something breaks, don't think it is necessarily related
[19:29] <|\n> unfortunately no
[19:36] <sarnold> |\n: I'm not sure what to suggest here. changing that s8 to u8 inthe line above *might* be enough to let you get your data. Or it might eat your filesystem. Can you test that change on a loopback mount or something similar?
[19:37] <|\n> nah, will poke around with that piece instead, sarnold, let it all get lost for the sake of it being ntfs
[19:38] <sarnold> hehe
[19:40] <Joel> snap list - Tracking seems like it could be truncated, any way to "widen" output? I see a "stable/..."
[19:43] <|\n> will reboot for certainty that i've bricked it with the edit hah
[19:44] <lotuspsychje> Joel: is snap info 'snapname' what you are looking for?
[19:51] <Joel> lotuspsychje yes! thank you!
[19:51] <ioria> SirScott, glad to hear that
[19:53] <Joel> is there a way to just force the update of a single snap, instead of all of them?
[19:53] <oerheks> snaps update automaticly ..
[19:54] <Joel> ah, you can pass the snap name to refresh
[19:54] <oerheks> sudo snap refresh <package>
[19:54] <Joel> oerheks on a very slow schedule
[19:55] <oerheks> yes, once a day
[19:56] <lotuspsychje> Joel: https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date
[19:56] <sarnold> I thought it was every six hours
[19:57] <Joel> lotuspsychje already foudn my answer, which isn't on the page you linked to
[19:58] <oerheks> snap refresh --time https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date , .. sudo snap set system refresh.timer=<time>
[19:59] <oerheks> refresh.metered=null after network enabled
[20:00] <lotuspsychje> Joel: is there a specific reason you want to update a single snap more then 4 times a day?
[20:01] <Joel> lotuspsychje don't want to update a single snap 4 times a day.
[20:01] <Joel> or more than 4
[20:02] <lotuspsychje> Joel: help us understand, the why?
[20:02] <oerheks> you won't notice ..
[20:03] <Joel> lotuspsychje you can't imagine a scenario where you want to update a single package before scheduled? O.O
[20:03] <lotuspsychje> Joel: personally, more then 4 times a day? no
[20:04] <Joel> Must not spin anything up or down that often.
[20:10] <|\n> just in case, sarnold, sorry for highlighting and it caused by same options for libntfs-3g88 specifically, no idea how it all works heh
[20:11] <sarnold> |\n: hmm, I'm confused :)
[20:13] <|\n> me too, formatting to ext heh
[20:25] <ScarletMarauder> Hi so I am trying to remote desktop into my ubuntu system using xrdp. the machines are not on the 1oca1 network, and i was trying to connect by ssh tunne1ing with putty. I insta11ed xrdp fo11owing this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/xrdp and then did the putty connection with this guide. https://www.saotn.org/tunnel-rdp-through-ssh/ but then window remote desktop says Error (just says error )
[20:25] <ScarletMarauder> any advice on what to do?
[20:30] <SlidingHorn> ScarletMarauder: why are you using 1's instead of L's?
[20:32] <ScarletMarauder> broken keyboard
[20:32] <dlyund> Hi all. Does anyone know how I can find out how long routes are cached?
[20:32] <ScarletMarauder> a1so idk how but it just started working
[20:36] <sarnold>        Starting with Linux kernel version 3.6, there is no routing cache
[20:36] <sarnold>        for IPv4 anymore. Hence ip route show cached will never print
[20:36] <sarnold>        any entries on systems with this or newer kernel versions.
[20:58] <sublim20> hey all.  I currently have ubuntu 19.10 running on an atomicpi, using its built in storage (16gb).  the installation is running out of space.  is there anyone i can 'add space' to this installation?  Im trying to avoid installing another installation on a seperate sd card.  any help is appreciated.
[21:03] <dlyund> sarnold: Thanks you. That clears up one mystery but introduces another. I have a private network with two routers and I've configured multipath routing on the application server for redundancy. If I ping an external host it works, but when I take down one of the routers and repeat the test ping prints Destination Host Unreachable. I am able to ping other hosts which I haven't previously contacted so I assumed the route was being cached.
[21:03] <dlyund> Do you have any idea would could be going on here?
[21:04] <leftyfb> sublim20: add space from where?
[21:04] <leftyfb> sublim20: also, have you determined where all the space is being used up by?
[21:04] <sarnold> dlyund: have you seen the 'ip route get' command yet? I wonder if it would help you see what's going on
[21:04] <sarnold> dlyund: multipath is entirely new to me, so I'm guessing you';re familiar with ip route get :) but still..
[21:05] <sublim20> leftyfb, the space being used up, is being used up by installed programs - i can move/delete some, but would run out of space soon anyway.  i would like to add space using an sd card.
[21:06] <sublim20> for example, is it possible to set my 'download' directory, to a folder on the sd card
[21:06] <leftyfb> sublim20: what programs? You could potentially have hundreds of applications installed and not use up 16G
[21:06] <leftyfb> sublim20: yes, that is possible
[21:07] <leftyfb> sublim20: sudo ncdu /   # use this to determine where all your space is being used. I can guarantee you it's not from applications
[21:07] <leftyfb> sublim20: you might have to install ncdu first
[21:08] <dlyund> sarnold: Thank you. I wasn't aware of ip route get :-). I usually work with OpenBSD and things are a little different over there
[21:09] <leftyfb> sublim20: if most of your space is from stuff in ~/Downloads, then I would suggest cleaning it out by moving it's contents somewhere else. Then going forward, tell save new downloads to your sd card, or wherever you choose. No point in moving the location of "Downloads"
[21:09] <sarnold> dlyund: heh, yes :) pf ruined me, I never got the hang of ipchains or iptables or nftables ..
[21:10] <dlyund> sarnold: Using ip route get I can see that the route passes though router2, which I've taken down with ifconfig vio1 down for testing. Do you have any idea how I would tell linux to reroute?
[21:12] <dlyund> sarnold: pf seems to have that effect. It landed me in the same boat ;-). OpenBSD is my goto OS for networking.
[21:12] <sarnold> dlyund: alas no, but I suggest using ip instead of ifconfig; ifconfig was never updated for many features that require ip to configure and use, and I wonder if this is related or not
[21:12] <sarnold> dlyund: *nod* *nod*
[21:12] <sarnold> dlyund: lunch time here :) have fun!
[21:13] <dlyund> sarnold: I would that I could but the router is running OpenBSD :-). I'm doing ifconfig vio1 down on the router to test failover.
[21:13] <dlyund> sarnold: Thanks for your help! Enjoy your lunch
[21:14] <sarnold> dlyund: aha! then carry on :D
[21:22] <sublim20> leftyfb, thanks for the replies.  im looking into ncdu now
[21:25] <sublim20> leftyfb, a ton of the space is used in .cache - 2.1 gigs (from wine), and 800MiB from .local
[21:28] <bprompt> sublim20:  anything under /var/cache/apt/archives ?
[21:28] <sublim20> yeah, so the breakdown on the system is this -> 5 gigs in /usr, 3.1 gigs in /home, and 1.7 gigs in /var plus various -> leaving only 2.8 gigs free out of 14 gigs available on the local drive on an atomicpi
[21:29] <sublim20> bprompt, /var/cache is 1.1gigs, and /var/cache/apt/archives is just under, 1gig.  can that be cleared?
[21:30] <bprompt> sublim20:  yeah, /var/cache/apt/archives are just the .deb files downloaded when installing something, it downloads the .debs there and then installs them, so you can clear that out
[21:32] <sublim20> bprompt, will do.  thanks for the reply
[21:56] <deitarion> I'm trying to get a USB stick acting as a WEP AP so I can communicate with some Nintendo DS homebrew but I'm having trouble getting things to communicate.
[21:57] <deitarion> My initial testing is using a *buntu 16.04 LTS on the host/AP side (I can't remember what I originally installed it as and it's a mish-mash of LXDE and KDE components now) and a Pandora handheld running an Xfce desktop as the known-working test device.
[21:58] <deitarion> If I set it up using nm-applet, it only allows "Method: Shared to other computers" and the Pandora receives an IP address through DHCP, but the machines can't communicate.
[21:59] <deitarion> Also, the Pandora doesn't show up in arp-scan's output.
[21:59] <deitarion> If I set the Nintendo DS up with an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server manually, it shows up in arp-scan but still can't communicate.
[22:00] <deitarion> Does anyone have any advice for narrowing down where the problem lies?
[22:14] <garotosopa> Hi. Any advice on how I can get Rhythmbox to show lyrics?
[22:53] <sixwheeledbeast> garotosopa: Plugins enable it, Cog wheel on the right > song lyrics
[22:54] <garotosopa> sixwheeledbeast: Oh sorry, I meant that I do that but the window always say No lyrics found.
[22:55] <garotosopa> In retrospect I should have definitely been more clear.
[22:58] <sixwheeledbeast> garotosopa: that will be down to the search engines i suppose
[22:59] <sixwheeledbeast> If you enable them all you'll get the highest chance of a hit
[22:59] <garotosopa> sixwheeledbeast: I'm afraid there's a library missing or something not properly configured, since Rhythmbox on Fedora finds most lyrics I try, while Ubuntu doesn't find any. I was hoping someone here had been through this before.
[23:00] <sixwheeledbeast> WFM
[23:00] <garotosopa> Are you running rhythmbox 3.4.3?
[23:01] <sixwheeledbeast> 3.4.2
[23:02] <pdebruic> I've got a 18.04.4 server that wont boot a new kernel but will boot on 4.14.63  How do I figure out why?
[23:02] <sarnold> does it say why?
[23:03] <EriC^^> pdebruic: define "won't boot"
[23:03] <jeremy31> pdebruic: why a 4.14 kernel?  The 4.15 kernels in the repo are LTS
[23:06] <pdebruic> ahh sorry.  right.  Boot stalls at a line                  [ 57.362] QLogic/NetXen Network Driver v4.0.82
[23:07] <pdebruic> The 4.14.63 kernel its booting now is from a recovery cd mounting the drive that should boot.
[23:08] <pdebruic> grub has 5.3-40 4.15-50 4.15-76 4.15-80 and they all don't work if I set GRUB_DEFAULT to 'Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 5.3.0-40-generic' or whatever kernel version
[23:08] <pdebruic> or if GRUB_DEFAULT=0
[23:10] <pdebruic> by don't work I mean stalls out at the network driver
[23:10] <pdebruic> maybe?
[23:13] <sarnold> pdebruic: did you install the linux-modules-extra-* pacakges to match your kernel version?
[23:13] <jsync> Hello. I used startup disk creator to make a debian netinstaller, & it's high jacked my usb drive & won't delete the partitions & says it's because it shows a different size of blocks.
[23:13] <pdebruic> sarnod: not deliberately
[23:13] <jeremy31> pdebruic: I would avoid using 5.3.0-40 as it has some issues
[23:14] <pdebruic> I've just been running sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
[23:14] <pdebruic> jeremy31: OK. thanks
[23:14] <sarnold> pdebruic: btw most irc clients let you type the first letter or two of a nickname and hit tab to complete the rest
[23:14] <pdebruic> sarnold: ha. thanks.
[23:14] <sarnold> :D
[23:15] <jeremy31> pdebruic: the 4.15 kernels should do well unless you have very new hardware
[23:15] <pdebruic> jeremy31: I don't.
[23:15] <jsync> Any ideas about how I can reclaim my usb drive?
[23:15] <pdebruic> I can use the old ones.
[23:17] <pdebruic> jeremy31: the 5.30-40 came in when I installed the linux-generic-hwe-18.04 package.  To uninstall it do I just apt remove linux-generic-hwe-18.04 ?
[23:20] <jeremy31> pdebruic: you may have to remove both linux-image-5.3.0-40-generic and the hwe package
[23:23] <garotosopa> sixwheeledbeast: In case you're curious, I had to go to the Lyrics plugin settings window and select all sites that should be used as sources. None of them were selected, that's why I didn't get any lyrics.
[23:24] <garotosopa> sixwheeledbeast: Thanks.
[23:25] <pdebruic> sarnold: the linux-modules-extras packages were already installed for the kernels in the system
[23:25] <sarnold> pdebruic: dang. that one's caught me off guard in the past..
[23:25] <sixwheeledbeast> I said that earlier?
[23:27] <Fizzik> Hello I've instaled Ubuntu 19.10 on my Macbook Pro Retina 2013. I can get the WL working after a reboot if I do the following steps: sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma && sudo modprobe wl - Is there any way to make this persist through reboot
[23:27] <Fizzik> BCM4360 wl chip
[23:30] <jeremy31> Fizzik: all you should have had to do was install bcmwl-kernel-source
[23:31] <Fizzik> Jeremy31: I did that but I had to do the above plus it doesn't persist through reboot
[23:31] <jeremy31> Fizzik: can you run the 2 commands at https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/a2bee9856d8c13f42f1835bc31bf9480 in terminal and post the termbin URL?
[23:33] <Fizzik> jeremy31: https://termbin.com/e17m
[23:35] <jeremy31> Fizzik: is this an ISO on USB?
[23:35] <Fizzik> no
[23:36] <jeremy31> Fizzik: Is it Pop OS?
[23:36] <Fizzik> yes
[23:37] <jeremy31> Fizzik: Pop OS is off topic here, I can't see a reason why you need to remove those b43 and ssb modules and manually load wl
[23:38] <Fizzik> jeremy31: I don't know either but its frustrating. Pop OS shouldn't really affect that at least in my opinion
[23:38] <jeremy31> Fizzik: If this is actually caused by Ubuntu, in terminal do this and reboot>  sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
[23:39] <Fizzik> alright I'll try that now
[23:42] <Fizzik> jeremy31: reboot had no wifi had to do the samething
[23:42] <jeremy31> Fizzik: reboot and check lsmod | grep cfg before doing anything, see if b43 or ssb is even listed
[23:43] <pdebruic> sarnold: any other ideas on what I should check?
[23:43] <sarnold> pdebruic: you could try blacklisting your qlogic nic and see if that changes things..
[23:44] <Fizzik> jeremy31: this is before I reboot 'cfg80211              712704  1 wl'
[23:47] <Fizzik> jeremy31: so yea the samething showed up after reboot but I had to do the same two commands to get the wireles to function again.
[23:48] <pdebruic> sarnold: thats the thing. it has 2 intel nic.  maybe they have QLogic chips.  I dunno.  I'll look with lspci -vvvv
[23:48] <sarnold> pdebruic: iirc intel bought qlogic a few years back
[23:49] <jeremy31> Fizzik: Please use Pop OS support to figure it out
[23:50] <pdebruic> sarnold: ok thanks. I'll see about newer drivers I guess.
[23:52] <ns5> In my ubuntu 18.04, my openconnect vpn connection will modify /etc/resolv.conf with the correct dns servers, but it seems that some service periodically changes it back to 127.0.0.53.  Possibly systemd-resolved.service.  Is there a way to fix this?
[23:56] <mmlj4> I don't know squat about ubuntu, but need to add a user that has the full sudo environment, and logs in with everything the initial user has. Will adduser or useradd do the trick, like on every other *nix?
[23:56] <leftyfb> mmlj4: did you try?
[23:57] <mmlj4> no, but surely someone knows the answer. I don't want to bungle the server
[23:58] <leftyfb> mmlj4: yes, ubuntu has basic linux tools like adduser
[23:59] <mmlj4> you're not understanding my question
