[00:00] CrazySam: or maybe "ubuntu-server" (if it exists in 18.04) [00:00] If it was installed as server, you can still install all of the ubuntu-desktop stuff. If it was installed as ubuntu-desktop, you can uninstall lots of stuff and pear down to server of your choice. [00:01] CrazySam: one way might be to do "head /etc/apt/sources.list" -- sometimes if the install was created from the ISO it *may* include the /dev/cdrom path as a source of packages which'll include the name of the ISO [00:01] CrazySam: https://askubuntu.com/questions/12562/how-to-check-if-ubuntu-desktop-or-server-is-installed [00:02] CrazySam: It IS an interesting question though not sure of a clear answer. [00:03] Well, as I look back, that link is about 4 years old, not sure how relevant the info is in it. [00:04] the reason i asked this question is because i was backtracking my steps as part of troubleshooting an issue on a vps [00:05] and it would seem like a good thing to know, what kind of system you're running [00:05] i installed it 3 years ago so i forgot [00:05] server vs desktop is just a matter of what packages are installed. it's the same system. [00:05] what i installed... [00:05] CrazySam: there may be clues in /var/log/installer/ [00:05] CrazySam: YOu don't keep a diary?? [00:06] CrazySam: try "cat /var/log/installer/media-info" [00:06] you mean you do? :) [00:06] but it is an interesting question! [00:06] makes me wonder about ubuntu linux... [00:07] what is and what isn't... [00:07] to be or not to be a server! ;) [00:07] server's generally are headless most of the time [00:07] CrazySam: No, but there are times I wish I did.... [00:08] i guess you can say it's two sides of the same coin, so i have realized that my question is irrelevant [00:09] i do try to keep "notes" of some things, it's a habit i have developed, not sure how healthy it is [00:10] CrazySam: Yea, I have a big file of random notes that I've added to for YEARS... it's alomost like a diary. [00:10] CrazySam: cat /etc/motd ... server usually shows system info (load, procs, mem, ... === nt0_ is now known as nt0 [00:14] usr13: i have also tons of old notes and stuff i have not cleared up in years [00:15] CrazySam: Just pile it all into one big file and search it for info. [00:16] i now try to systemize the stuff, for example i would throw in a "readme" or "note" (note to self) inside folders that i have neatly organized [00:16] I find it is too much trouble to try and organize it. [00:17] I also keep one single .txt file with 5 worth of random notes [00:17] 5 years* [00:18] and it all started with a 1.44K floppy disk in 1998... [00:18] bluesj0t: Yea, mine is older than 5 years [00:18] s/K/M [00:18] Don't really know how long ago I started it. [00:19] all your secrets in one place! neatly tucked away in the front pocket of your shirt! The 90s! :) [00:20] bluesj0t: ... but I still find it useful from time to time, (especially considering how defective my memory is). [00:22] bluesj0t: I do now this, it has 2022 lines [00:22] vps-1: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop: ubuntu-desktop, 1.417.4, amd64, The Ubuntu desktop system [00:23] vps-2: dkpg -l ubuntu-server: ubuntu-server, 1.417.4, amd64, The Ubuntu Server system [00:23] vps-1: dpkg -l ubuntu-server: ubuntu-server, 1.417.4,, amd64, The Ubuntu Server system [00:23] vps-2: dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop: dpkg-query: no packages found matching ubuntu-desktop [00:23] Ok, yea, we got it. [00:24] one is definitively a server, the other one is living a double life [00:25] CrazySam: There really should be a way to find out for sure which it is. [00:26] now lemme just file those commands to my mega list of useful linux commands... i do have one, everyone should [00:26] usr13: same here I cant keep hundreds of notes in different parts of my file system, all in one spot serves well [00:26] bluesj0t: even something like useful linux commands? [00:27] What's your guys opinion on formatting external drives (usb, hdd, ssd)? Do you guys use mkfs in the terminal or prefer gparted? [00:27] CrazySam: Yes, especially useful linux commands, mostly commands and aguments. [00:28] CrazySam: especially linux commands, and I'll even #write notes like this to remind me what the commands are used for [00:28] bluesj0t: I mostly use mkfs [00:29] usr13: same I find gparted extremely unstable and always corrupts drives but everyone I run into loves it , feel like I'm the only one lol [00:30] bluesj0t: mkfs or parted on terminal [00:30] bluesj0t: I've not had problems with gparted, but would rather cut to the chase [00:45] Anyone here have experience with windscribe and can reccomend it? [01:24] Android devices have alarms that run in the background that go off when you set them. Is there anything that is like that for me to install so I can wake up? Because I don't have a working phone. [01:34] bluesj0t: I use the free version, 10GB/mo ... no complaints [01:38] rydiamegan24: also interested in this [01:39] I tried gnome-clocks, but that only works when it is left open. I need something that runs in the background like Millennium Alarm Clock Plus for Android. === abq1 is now known as abq === justache is now known as justach[e] [02:29] so I have come up with some instructions to add encryption to system after the fact using luksipc. The end of the processes is messy. I have a new volume for boot and initramfs needs updating [02:31] currently I'm using rsync to copy the current directory to the new fs, mounting everything in the chroot, and running grub-install ; update-grub ; apt-get install --reinstall cryptsetup-initramfs [02:31] is there a better/shorter way to do all that? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:57] Where should XDG_CONFIG_HOME be set? It's currenty not defined for me.. [03:02] bitblit: In which config file ? [03:12] How do I change ownership of sudoers on ubuntu xenial back to root. I changed ownership of all the files in /etc to a user. And now I cannot change it back to root with sudo. [03:14] drbean: Best practice in such an event is a re-install of the operating system . There are thousands of files to verify :( [03:14] Bashing-om: I'm using a script that references it, and it is unset for me. wondering where I should define it so it persists rebooting. [03:17] bitblit: See if XDG_CONFIG_HOME does not equate to /home//.config . [03:18] Bashing-om: can't check it, it's undefined. [03:33] https://superuser.com/questions/1496397/changed-root-file-ownership-any-way-back [03:35] suggests setting user's password as root password and login as root to reset sudoers file ownership. [03:36] But it appears to require a reboot. [03:36] drbean: Booting into recovery kernel from grub, one has access to root there. [03:38] I will reboot when I get to the server on Monday. I don't want to try it on the weekend when I don't have physical access. [03:41] bitblit: 1.) It not being set is normal and expected, also see: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html 2.) If indeed you want to set it to a custom path, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#Session-wide_environment_variables [03:46] bitblit: ^^ see too: https://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/advanced#hidden_options >> " ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} >> The first base directory to look for configuration files.

For example, pepito@cosas.es and pepito.perez_15@hola.es are valid but sadfs@ewf.com@hola.es is not valid [08:53] x11 [08:54] Any solution for extracting emails fromt text file from command line would be good too [08:55] jil: then xrandr should still be the solution, but details might have changed, like output names [08:58] DarkMat: http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html is one for RFC822, but the general wisdom is you shouldn't be validating emails with regex [09:00] DarkMat: if it passes ,+@,+, let the DNS system and receiving server work out if it's valid === tuxiano_ is now known as tuxiano [09:04] Thanks, Triffid_Hunter.

They ask a command for extracting email from a text file with egrep, sed, awk, etc. [09:06] DarkMat: if this is an assignment you've been given, you need to solve it yourself. we're not here to do your homework. [09:07] DarkMat: well your course is apparently teaching practices that the industry have decided are bad ideas ;) [09:10] ducasse, I have already searched a lot ducasse, but I am not going to argue about that. I am 46 years old, I have two children and I am using linux since 1996. I do what I can. Of course when I would have the solution I will try to understand it. I am not going into IRC flame wars [09:11] Triffid_Hunter, maybe but I have to do it like that for now. Thanks anyway Triffid_Hunter ;-) [09:11] hello [09:11] is there no conio.h file now for c or c++?

The other problem is that my system (Ubuntu 19.10) locks up during heavy I/O [10:02] AlexPortable: suspend issue, try an acpi_osi workaround. See https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [10:02] AlexPortable: for the lock-up you need to further diagnose it. Sometimes it can be GPU lock-ups but if it is just I/O you might be better using the -lowlatency rather than -generic kernel images [10:51] hey everyone [10:51] you guys all still doin ok ? [10:52] knightwise: welcome [10:53] knightwise: what can we do for you today [10:54] hey , nothing much. Just hanging out and would love to chat with some people around topics not related to covid19 [10:54] knightwise: if its about ubuntu, feel free to join #ubuntu-discuss [10:55] thanx [11:44] Hi everyone, is it possible that apparmor affects processes that do not have a profile? I'm using cinnamon as a DE and noticed that when apparmor is active, the applet "QRedshift" wont work anymore. Deactivating all profiles does not help but removing the kernel parameters and disabling the service does. [11:51] Howdy folks [11:52] yi: apparmor is default deny afaik, not much use if it gives unknown apps free reign [11:57] Triffid_Hunter ah okay, I'll look into that, thanks [12:00] Hello everyone! [12:00] hey [12:01] I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS [12:01] Trying to upgrade php5 to php7 but unable [12:01] apt-cache search php7 [12:01] Is empty [12:01] Already followed this : https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-install-php-7-on-ubuntu-linux-14-04-lts [12:02] But I don't understand why is unable to find any php7 package [12:03] bamb9, why still on 14.04? [12:04] Don't know :) [12:04] oh [12:04] We forgot to update, but it's a machine in productiono [12:04] shall we update to last one? [12:04] Which one you advice? [12:04] Will be a painless upgrade? :P [12:05] bamb9, well you might have to upgrade slowly, let me check [12:05] But could be useful to upgrade php first since I have to install WP :') [12:08] bamb9, you would have to upgrade to 1.04 and then to 18.04 tutorial here https://medium.com/@shathi.ece/upgrade-ubuntu-14-04-lts-to-ubuntu-16-04-lts-d0225503efb4 [12:08] bamb9, rather 16.04 to 18.04 [12:09] Seems pretty easy [12:09] :') [12:09] bamb9, but I have never tried this, so, if anything occurs come back with any errors. someone should be able to help [12:09] I have a server in production, will be safe to run the upgrade directly in productino? [12:09] bamb9: if you're going to do TWO release-upgrades (14.04 > 16.04 >18.04) there will be a LOT of changes so set aside a day for dealing with them! [12:09] Ah shit [12:10] caca ") [12:10] bamb9: never! if there's a production system that needs to stay running it should be clustered [12:10] So your advice guys is to upgrade instead of put my hands on how to install php7 on the current 14.04 machine? [12:11] bamb9, my opinion, probably, but I would wait for conformation from others about that [12:12] Thanks :) let's wait other answers [12:12] bamb9: trying to install a non-standard version will end in tears [12:12] if you went to 16.04 youd probably have better luck getting php7 [12:14] bamb9: there is a sneaky way around it. That is to create a container with 16.04 or 18.04 in it (using LXD) where it'll have php7 ... then set up a HTTP reverse-proxy in the host web config to call on the container where the PHP7 code is. That does depend on it being a fairly isolated requirement. If there is a database to interact with you'd have to configure the container to talk over IP sockets [12:14] to the host's DB server [12:32] hi. [12:32] how can i change ubuntu/gnome taskbar time to shown as 2020-03-21 15:32 full datetime ? [12:44] sorry [12:44] Got disconnected [12:44] So maybe the safest one is to upgrade? Lost some messages [12:59] cixx: gnome tweak tool [13:00] Hey all, having trouble with my built-in camera. Light is on as if it's in use, Cheese recognizes it in the preferences, but I get no picture. I'm on 4.15.0-91-lowlatency [13:00] hello, anyone knows how can i install an AppImage in ubuntu? [13:05] lestac, what's the file extension? [13:06] Monona: did you not ask this a few days ago already? [13:06] lotuspsychje: thank you [13:07] guys how can i access the logs from a go app if i created a systemd service for it? [13:16] Monona: The last comment from someone here was from ioria: Monona if you're still there, i think that maybe your webcam is hw disabled; check if you have a key combo to activate it or check your bios [13:17] Bromite: useful -> https://fabianlee.org/2017/05/21/golang-running-a-go-binary-as-a-systemd-service-on-ubuntu-16-04/ [13:17] Actually I just need to install php 5.6 [13:17] "Your server is running PHP version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.20 but WordPress 5.3.2 requires at least 5.6.20." [13:17] bamb91: php5.x is no longer supported. the current version is 7.x ... what version of Ubuntu are you running? [13:18] pgnd: yeah have that article open, does that mean i need to manually enable logging to systemd? [13:18] !eol | bamb91: Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer supported either. There is no support available here [13:18] bamb91: Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer supported either. There is no support available here: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/E [13:19] 14.04 [13:19] Ok so no way. [13:19] Need to upgrade [13:19] Time to upgrade [13:19] bamb91: upgrading from an eol version is risky [13:19] bamb91: correct... you are running a system that has not received updates during a rather critical time. My recommendation is to start from scratch [13:20] I have a production server running [13:20] With 14.04 [13:20] bamb91: My concern is that you have been running that as a webserver and it is possible that a less honerable person may have compromised the system [13:21] Is bugged? [13:21] With easy holes? [13:21] Bromite: redirect go app unit's stdout to syslog, as in the example [13:21] you are the admin of your system bamb91 you are responsible? [13:22] bamb91: think swiss cheese... take the server offline and start over from scratch. Wordpress has instructions on how to migrate your data. look that up to ensure your site content is preserved [13:22] by default, it's piped to jounal anyway ... [13:26] No I have to install a fresh new wp [13:26] pgnd: hmm i put the logging code into my .service file, but journalctl only shows the starting/stopping of the app [13:26] but I have other stuff on the server [13:26] django,nginx,postgres,redis [13:27] For the "real web app" [13:27] I was about to start the blog, but then I got this shitty message from wp.. [13:29] Bromite: can you demonstrate that your app logs what you want to stdout when launched in foreground? [13:29] test with a simple go app, e.g. 'go-syslog' [13:32] pgnd: oh, seems like it isn't logging output now for some reason [13:32] i swear it was logging requests last time i checked (by running ./myapp) [13:34] Hey guys, how can I test the performance of an NTFS mount for IOPS and latency? [13:35] Does anyone know of a app that does macro/scripts/etc and not from shell.. From the desktop...???????????? [13:36] lotuspsychje: Still haven't been able to figure it out. [13:36] you can watch your disk performance with iostat -t 3 /dev/sd* [13:36] Monona: allright, check what pragmaticenigma suggested [13:36] Ranger15, it's an ntfs mount to a directory [13:36] pragmaticenigma: AFAIK, there is no key combo to activate it, and it looks like it's enabled in BIOS. [13:38] PCatinean -- your can do the same for USB drives, SAN, NAS, any type of disk. [13:38] lestac, https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/ [13:40] PCatinean: pkg 'fio' is helpful [13:41] pgnd, I have it installed the docker image I am using [13:49] Monona: without the kernel identifying the camera, I don't have any other ideas or suggestions. You might have to pick up a USB web cam instead [13:49] Monona: have we tryed a journalctl -f and plug out/back in yet to see the errors? [13:50] oh internal cam right [13:50] nvm [13:50] pgnd: got it working, thanks! [13:50] Ranger15: what kind of macros/scripts are you talking about? [13:50] np [13:50] i was using gin.New() instead of gin.Default(), which apparently doesn't log requests [13:51] pragmaticenigma: I think the camera is showing up on lsusb now, and wasn't before. https://pastebin.com/20hN4XLj I think it's the Sunplus [13:52] pragmaticenigma: How do I know if the kernel is identifying the camera? It seems like at times it is (eg the camera shows up in preferences in Cheese) and at times not. === sumagna_ is now known as sumagna [13:53] Monona: that's one way to tell [13:54] Monona: can we see your dmesg again in a pastebin please? [13:55] lotuspsychje: Could you remind me of the command to dump dmesg direct to a pastebin? [13:55] !pastebinit | Monona [13:55] Monona: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [13:56] Monona: according to this page, your device should get detected, https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:1bcf-2c2a [13:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KnvmWHGjB8/ [13:58] Monona: did you check the hp website yet for bios updates for your machine? [13:59] lotuspsychje: Not yet. I'm not super familiar with the bios but when I looked at it, camera was enabled. [13:59] Monona: can you recall if other kernels ever made your webcam work? [14:01] lotuspsychje: I think so, but I haven't used the webcam much before recently. I remember using Cheese to test it and it worked, but I have no idea what kernel that was. [14:01] Monona: could you do a test with like a liveusb 18.04 to see if it works? [14:03] lotuspsychje: Can do, let me try and I will be back... [14:03] Monona: thanks [14:06] hi [14:06] hi guys -- on linux (ubuntu) i have a ridiculous name for my wifi interface...wlps02 or something....ohw do i persmanently change it so it's something easier like w0 ? [14:09] Why would you need to change that? === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [14:12] banisterfiend: attempting to change that interface name will cause problems. It is assigned by the kernel, and may cause problems later with updates and other network management tasks [14:13] bluesj0t: because it's a very long and inconvenient name, and i need to type it regularly [14:14] on my other box it'sjuts "eth0" which is much easier, and on macos it's "en0" [14:14] banisterfiend: you can try adding this to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" in your grub config: net.ifnames=0 [14:15] banisterfiend: just be away, you're disabling a feature to make something work the way you want [14:15] *aware [14:17] pragmaticenigma: why on some distros is it something convenient like eth0 ? [14:17] banisterfiend: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ [14:17] convenient != reliably consistent [14:18] i just HATE having to type ot that stupid confusing name every time i need to interact with that interface [14:18] net.ifnames is a feature of the kernel to ensure that the network interface always receives the same name inbetween reboots. On a personal system where you're not likely to be addnig and removing cards, it's probably going to be okay [14:21] Hi guys, i installed ubuntu on my machine using unetbootin i installed it on m.2 drive ssd. -once i installed it and it asks me to reboot. i reboot....and i get booted into the windows 10 hard drive. SO i go in bios to look for the m.2 ssd hard drive to change the boot order. But i dont see it anywhere :( so i go in Windows10 go into disk management and there i see "the m.2 drive" i have [14:21] partitioned into /root /home and swap. Next i went into grub and tried to look for my hard disk and there i only find " HD0 , HD1 , HD2 (HD0,MSDOS1) , (HD1, msdos4)... etc [14:22] the reason i am using unetbootin is because i dont have "USB DRIVE" :< [14:23] and why are the filesystems all ext2 ??? in grub [14:29] I'm running Ubuntu Server 18.04 on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I'm having trouble with controlling the PoE HAT fan. I should be able to configure the temperature the fan turns on in /boot/firmware/config.txt, but it doesn't seem to take effect [14:30] I have: dtparam=poe_fan_temp0=70000,poe_fan_temp1=78000,poe_fan_temp0_hyst=70000,poe_fan_temp1_hyst=78000 [14:30] ikarus987: did you create the parts _as_ ext4? [14:30] yes i did [14:31] what i am thinking is [14:31] `vcgencmd measure_temp` tells me the temperature is 45c, which is well below the threshold, and the fan is on [14:31] are you seeing the grub menu at all on boot? [14:31] nope [14:31] it's just a terminal [14:31] grup> [14:31] like that [14:31] efi ? [14:32] see here is the story [14:32] u know unetbootin right? [14:32] are you booting uefi? [14:32] it installs bootloader i think on top of currently used Windows 10 hard drive [14:33] so when i booted my pc for the first time (before installing ubuntu) [14:33] i get 2 options Windows10 or unetbooting [14:33] i chose unetbooting and from there i installed ubuntu [14:34] the way i go into grub at the moment is [14:35] i go into bios and choose "uefi hard drive b " then there is also another one called "hard drive b" [14:35] the are not actually named "hard drive b" i am using shortening [14:36] i mean it shouldn't matter from where grub is running, correct ? [14:37] grub is outside the scope of hard drives and man other things [14:37] many# [14:39] lotuspsychje: Tried camera from live USB, same issue: Cheese recognizes camera in Preferences, and light goes on, but camera does not work. [14:41] ikarus987: if you reboot it boots directly into Win10? [14:41] yes [14:41] unless i can change the boot order [14:41] no sorry [14:41] i get offered unetbooting or windows 10 [14:42] -but i don't understand what the unetbooting is for anymore [14:42] since i did install ubuntu? [14:42] that's the only purpose, right [14:42] that's why i haven't bothered to check it [14:43] did you set bootmgr path in win to grub, with bcdedit ? [14:43] no i dont know what that is [14:43] i guess google time [14:44] is your m2 formatted GPT? [14:44] Monona: ok tnx for testing that, i assume we proved its not about kernels now [14:44] pgnd gpt ? [14:45] Monona: are you sure you tested Fn+ F key combo's to enable cam? [14:45] start with these ... https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/using-bcdedit-to-configure-a-multiboot-system-and-add-linux-4175644308/ [14:45] does it matter what type of ssd it is? [14:46] ikarus987: if you're booting efi, the partition table format matters ... [14:46] Monona have you tried quirks? [14:47] lotuspsychje: Yup, just ran through them all again for good measure. Here's the actual error from running cheese at command line, maybe there's something in there? https://pastebin.com/UKq5m3VQ [14:48] Monona: did you try installing guvcview yet? [14:48] pgnd: Nope, what's that? [14:49] test uvc quirks with exec of `rmmod uvcvideo; modprobe uvcvideo quirks=XXX` [14:49] Read more on quirks @ http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/faq/#faq6, & https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_setup [14:49] quirks=0x080 often addresses _some_ intermittently operating cameras; YMMV [14:49] shown-to-work quirks=xxx can be added persistently to /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf [14:49] lotuspsycheje: Yup, it's the newest version. [14:49] Monona: no dice there aswell? [14:54] pgnd: Looks potentially promising, but slightly above my head. Should I start by executing 'sudo rmmod uvcvideo; modprobe uvcvideo quirks=0x080'? [14:55] lotuspsychje: re: guvcview? It's installed, but I'm not real familiar with what it can do. [14:55] Monona: just launching it, should open your cam + alot of settings [14:56] Monona: is your camera currently recognized, or not? [14:56] lotuspsychje: Got it, launching now. [14:57] pgnd: I think it's recognized but not working. It shows up in the preferences in Cheese, and in lsusb, but doesn't work. [14:57] The 'sudo rmmod uvcvideo; modprobe uvcvideo quirks=0x080' is non-persistent. [14:57] At best, you camera becomes active, and you've luckily ID'd your culprit. [14:57] At worst, you lock up & have to reboot. [14:57] That's what I'd likely try as a 1st shot across the bow ... [14:59] lotuspsychje: Got "Guvcview error no video device found" [14:59] Monona: in video controls/device, nothing to pick? [15:01] lotuspsychje: All I get is the error message. [15:02] pgnd: Got "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'uvcvideo': Operation not permitted" [15:04] pgnd: Ran it again as sudo on both commands, got "rmmod: ERROR: Module uvcvideo is not currently loaded" [15:06] after clean reboot, _is_ the uvcvideo module loaded? check with `lsmod` [15:06] pgnd: his dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KnvmWHGjB8/ [15:07] pgnd: @950 uvcvideo 1-5:1.0: Entity type for entity Extension 4 was not initialized! [15:07] pgnd: @1031 uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe control : -110 (exp. 26). [15:08] pgnd: let me reboot and get back to you. [15:08] Thanks for the assistance on this persistently persnickety problem! [15:13] pgnd: uvcvideo is in the list when I run lsmod [15:14] output of lsusb ? [15:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RmjHSytX5P/ [15:16] now, output of `lsusb -d 1bcf:2c2a -v` ? [15:18] pgnd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rmgzPyn98D/ [15:18] Also got "Couldn't open device, some information will be missing" [15:19] good news it's seen, correctly, as a uvc camera. i think you said you were getting guvcview error on launch? [15:21] pgnd: Just ran guvcview, and did not get error! Progress, somehow? What am I looking for in guvcview? [15:22] well, no error, to start ... [15:22] You've tried in OTHER vid app? something other than 'Cheese'? This [15:22] https://meet.jit.si/ [15:22] is a good/simple check ... [15:25] The uvcvideo mod's loaded. You have a recognized uvc cam. guvcvideo launches without error. [15:25] usage in 'Cheese' fails. [15:25] if it works in Jitsi, it's likely Cheese. if it doesn't, you're here: [15:25] http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/faq/#faq2 [15:25] with a possibly buggy, if not dying/dead, cam [15:29] how do i complete uninstall the following software that I installed using the cmd: ' sudo snap install microk8s --channel=1.18/beta --classic' [15:30] pgnd: Got "Failed to access your camera" in jitsi. [15:31] which browser? [15:31] Firefox [15:33] not currently jitsi-friendly (Webrtc bugs); recheck in CHrome/Chromium. If still no-go, either try a different camera (beg/borrow/steal/etc), or start @ faq link [15:33] codecutter: snap remove not working? [15:33] full cmd? [15:34] snap remove microk8s? [15:34] I'd start with `man snap` [15:45] best place to place the $Java_HOME Path? [15:46] rather how do i set the path? [15:47] google's your friend. [15:47] https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19182-01/821-0917/inst_set_jdk_korn_bash_t/index.html [15:49] do i need to do anything else after running 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64'? [15:49] becuase one of the packages is failing to start even after running the above [15:50] pgnd: Camera did not work with Jitsi on chromium either. Going to try that faq now...
