cluelessperson_akem, sarnold    So I uninstalled everything that should automatically set cpufreq.  Ubuntu has crashed on me several times now, not sure if that's causal.00:07
cluelessperson_akem, sarnold Anyway,  at 3.8 Ghz, dropdowns and UI stuff is basically instant.00:07
cluelessperson_So I'm pretty sure that's the problem.00:08
codedmart_cluelessperson_: Do you know how I can do that?00:25
InteloHow to monitor memory and cpu usage by each app/daemon?00:34
cluelessperson_codedmart_, I just got back, do what?00:36
cluelessperson_codedmart_, oh, bridge lxc to your wifi connection?00:37
* cluelessperson_ forgets how to do that atm and has to think00:37
cluelessperson_codedmart_, basically you'll need to setup a virtual interface and bridge it to your wifi interface.00:37
cluelessperson_codedmart_, https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/10/22/introduction-to-linux-interfaces-for-virtual-networking/00:38
matsamanyeah there should be a simple config for that for lxc00:38
cluelessperson_that looks like it will have the information you need.00:38
cluelessperson_sarnold, so I uninstalled a bunch of stuff, went back to non-wayland, and now lscpu shows 3.8ghz00:38

tdscodedmart_ / cluelessperson_: bridging to a wireless adapter is quite non-trivial, and depends on the wireless adapter and the AP involved00:43
tdsif you can just route a subnet to the host and sit your containers behind that, it often simplifies things00:43

=== TheSingingYogurt is now known as TheTalkingYogurt
TheTalkingYogurthello01:02
TheTalkingYogurtI'm having a very weird problem... up until two days ago, my small home server (18.04) was working flawlessly but today I find that any outgoing traffic sees a huuuuuge packet loss01:03
TheTalkingYogurtit's a small OptiPlex 9020 USFF with an I217-LM NIC01:04
TheTalkingYogurtI believe it uses the e1000e driver01:05
TheTalkingYogurtI'm also getting weird *BAD*gran_size lines in kernel messages, and I seriously don't recall having had them before01:06
TheTalkingYogurtthere have been zero hardware or software changes, not even an update01:06
TheTalkingYogurtI'm afraid it might be a hardware problem but netbsd doesn't seem to have a problem with it01:07
TheTalkingYogurtany ideas ?01:07
sarnoldI'm accustomed to seeing those *BAD* messages in dmesg on bugreports from machines that seem pretty unhappy01:08
sarnoldbut I've never figured out if those are themselves causes of problems or just indicators of firmware problems that the system is otherwise able to ignore or patch up01:08
TheTalkingYogurtyep, I got to the same non-conclusion01:09
sarnoldhehehe01:10
sarnoldthanks for that :) I'll have to try to remember that one, that's good01:10
TheTalkingYogurtit's so weird, SSHing into the server starts reasonably well but running anything output-heavy (like dmesg) not only slows to a crawl but actually drops the connection01:10
TheTalkingYogurt:)01:10
TheTalkingYogurtglad to be of service ;)01:10
sarnoldI hate this suggestion, but .. I wonder if you manually cap the MTU on the interface to something lower?01:11
tdsTheTalkingYogurt: is that over the LAN, or to somewhere external?01:11
kk4ewtTheTalkingYogurt; where is the server over internet or in the local network01:11
tdswhat sarnold said :)01:11
lestachello people!01:11
sarnoldI'm given some slight comfort that both tds and kk4ewt seemed to be heading in the same direction, heh01:12
TheTalkingYogurtit's open but behind a NAT, however the problem is the same whether on the LAN or outside of it01:12
kk4ewtsarnold;  need the full picture01:12
tdssarnold: too many people bitten by it in the past :)01:12
Jordan_UTheTalkingYogurt: Can you reproduce the problem with an Ubuntu 18.04 LiveUSB?01:14
TheTalkingYogurtI'd lower the MTU if it weren't for the fact that before yesterday everything worked fine with the defaults, 1GB connection basically saturated without any issue01:14
TheTalkingYogurtJordan_U, I tried before coming here, just installed openssh-server on the live 18.04.4, same exact story01:14
kk4ewtTheTalkingYogurt; unplug a replug the ethernet cable on both ends and test01:15
kk4ewtunplug and replug01:15
TheTalkingYogurtkk4ewt, already did, tried another cable and another switch01:15
kk4ewtstill the same ?01:15
TheTalkingYogurtsadly yes01:15
TheTalkingYogurtit's like a voodoo curse01:16
TheTalkingYogurtI thought those only happened to Windows in the nineties01:16
kk4ewtand the server is in the same network correct01:17
TheTalkingYogurtregarding the *BAD* messages, I memtested the RAM and it seems ok; I found some reference to mtrr kernel parameters but I'm not sure I understand it all01:18
kk4ewtstatic or dhcp?01:18
TheTalkingYogurtyep, the server is currently next to me, on the same switch as the machine I'm working on, DHCP but with a static address01:19
Jordan_UTheTalkingYogurt: So the DHCP server is configured to always give out the same IP to this host?01:19
kk4ewtdouble check the ip submask and gateway on the effected machines01:19
TheTalkingYogurtyes01:19
TheTalkingYogurtI'll do that01:20
TheTalkingYogurtdefault gateway and subnet mask are fine01:21
Jordan_UTheTalkingYogurt: Check for ip address collisions too.01:21
kk4ewtethernet port on motherboard or external card01:23
TheTalkingYogurtno ip collisions, ethernet port on motherboard01:24
kk4ewtlaptop or desktop01:24
TheTalkingYogurtit's small desktop (OptiPlex 9020 USFF), looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/1cXRyD4.jpg01:26
tdshow do counters in `ip -s link` look?01:28

rainmanjamHey everyone. I'm having an issue updating my Ubuntu 18.04 instance. When I do "sudo apt autoremove" I get this https://imgur.com/a/7wDqJ0h . Also I'm running this instance on Microsoft Azure.01:31
sarnoldoh wow, I've got a lot of dropped packets 79929901:31
TheTalkingYogurtprobably covid19 underpaying the deliveries01:32
* TheTalkingYogurt ducks01:32
tdsi'd be tempted to directly connect the two machines and test, just to rule out the switch and the rest of the network01:33
Jordan_UTheTalkingYogurt: It might be interesting to compare a tcpdump from the problem computer and another machine. See which packets one sends vs what the other receives.01:33
Jordan_Urainmanjam: How long has it been like that without the output changing?01:34
TheTalkingYogurtJordan_U, WHY didn't I think of that...01:34
TheTalkingYogurtthanks :)01:34
Jordan_Urainmanjam: I assume that you would have gotten the same "setting up grub-efi-amd64" if you had run "sudo dpkg --configure -a", the package configuration was probably interrupted the last time you had a package update.01:36
rainmanjam@Jordan_U 1.5 hours01:36
rainmanjam@Jordan_U correct01:37
Jordan_Urainmanjam: Please pastebin the output of "ps aux | grep grub".01:38
rainmanjam@Jordan_U https://pastebin.com/whR8Mw3W01:39
TheTalkingYogurtOH FOR FSM SAKE01:41
TheTalkingYogurttds, good call01:41
TheTalkingYogurtI just looked up the logs on my UPS01:42
Jordan_Urainmanjam: This is probably what's hanging: /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sda1 --target=fs_uuid01:42
TheTalkingYogurtapparently both my switches are dead01:42
* TheTalkingYogurt looks like a fool01:42
TheTalkingYogurtsorry folks01:42
TheTalkingYogurtthanks for your help01:43
Jordan_UTheTalkingYogurt: I'm confused, what do you mean by dead?01:43
sarnoldTheTalkingYogurt: sorry about the swtiches :(01:43
TheTalkingYogurtwell it seems we had a bit of an oversurge yesterday01:43
Jordan_Urainmanjam: I can possibly help you make a fake grub-probe that gives the correct output, if it ends up coming to that. Anything in dmesg? My guess is that it's hanging in a syscall somewhere, not in userspace.01:44
TheTalkingYogurtand these two switches (small 5-port ones) were plugged directly on a wall socket01:45
TheTalkingYogurtI have no idea what exactly happened but I just dug up an older 100bt one and it works flawlessly01:45
Jordan_UTheTalkingYogurt: I wonder what magic netbsd was performing. Maybe had the link configured for 100mbps rather than gigabit?01:45
TheTalkingYogurtJordan_U, possibly, I admit that I hadn't noticed (or even checked)01:46
TheTalkingYogurtsarnold, it's okay, I'd rather have two dead home switches than a dead server01:47
sarnoldTheTalkingYogurt: so true01:47
Jordan_UTheTalkingYogurt: Still worth testing direct between two computers, make sure that you can actually get a reliable link when negotiating to gigabit.01:48
TheTalkingYogurtJordan_U, exactly what I'm trying now, and it's perfectly stable01:48
DarkTrickHm... I feel like there is a problem with Linux 5.3.0-46-generic. My systems hangs for about 3~5 seconds when I switch apps. This did not happen in 5.3.0-40-generic. Unfortunately I already `autoremoved` 40, so I can't go back temporarily.01:48
TheTalkingYogurtthanks a lot for all your ideas, people :)01:50
sarnoldDarkTrick: if they're already gone from your mirror, you can grab them from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory01:50
TheTalkingYogurt(now I just have to see if I can salvage those switches...)01:50
codedmart_tds: What do you mean route a subnet to the host. I am just running lxc on my laptop to test out some development env stuff.01:51
tdsadd a static route on your router for a subnet via your laptop, then put your containers in that subnet, behind your laptop as a router01:52
DarkTricksarnold, how would I safely install it? like usual SW?01:52
tdsor the hacky solution is to just NAT the containers behind your laptop's address on the wireless interface - I think lxc should do that out of the box, there will be an "lxcbr0" bridge for it?01:53
codedmart_tds: Yeah internet was working out of the box, but I wanted to expose some ports and that led me to macvlan which didn't work with wireless which led me down this road.01:54
sarnoldDarkTrick: I don't think there's a great way to install them if they're removed from your mirror -- at least the links on launchpad are https, so if you download them manually, you'll have some assurance that they came from launchpad; but afaik there's no easy way to get launchpad's historical packages via apt :(01:55
codedmart_So really if I could expose ports from the container to the host with the standard bridge lxdbr0 that would be ideal.01:55
tdsif you already have NATed networking working, you could add some NAT rules to just expose specific ports via your laptop's ip01:55
DarkTricksarnold, so I guess I should endure the situation :/ Thank you01:56
sarnoldDarkTrick: at least report bugs..01:56
DarkTricksarnold, is there a good place to report the problem?01:56
rainmanjam@Jordan_U Sorry for the delay. had to let my dog out.01:56
codedmart_tds: Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am not sure how or what you mean.01:56
DarkTricksarnold, I can't really like ... make a technical bug report01:56
sarnoldDarkTrick: ubuntu-bug linux   will get you started -- you'll need a launchpad account to carry through with it01:56
tdscodedmart_: ahh, if you're using lxc rather than lxd, looks like it has some built in stuff to proxy connections via the host's ip01:57
tdshttps://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/forward-port-80-and-443-from-wan-to-container/2042/201:57
DarkTricksarnold, So I'd rather search for a "tell it to people in charge and when more people complain, they will look into it"-stategy...(?)01:57
tdsugh, I meant "lxd rather than lxc", you get the idea01:57
codedmart_tds: Oh great I missed that.01:58
codedmart_Thanks!01:58

cluelessperson_Captain_Proton, not sure about nautilus02:21
sarnoldparak0vsky: you should have stayed on bionic -- it looks like their software doesn't build on eoan https://launchpad.net/~mixxx/+archive/ubuntu/mixxx/+packages02:22
sarnoldparak0vsky: they may not know that their software isn't available for the two most recent releases, it's probably worth reporting to them02:23
TheTalkingYogurtCaptain_Proton, are you absolutely precluded from installing samba?02:23
TheTalkingYogurtit's remarkably stable and -- to my experience -- very smooth02:23
parak0vskysarnold: any way I can fix that on my end right now?02:23
Captain_ProtonI can install samba but to just over ride the workgroup name seems overkill02:24
sarnoldCaptain_Proton: btw *why* do you want to change the workgroup name?02:25
sarnoldparak0vsky: nothing great. you could try installing bionic in LXD or a VM and run mixxx from within the lxd instance or the VM instance02:25
TheTalkingYogurtI'm not sure that you _can_ change it without declaring one (ie. it just uses the default wg name)02:25
Captain_Protonthe default is workgroup my network is called HOME since there is a mismatch it does not find anything in HOME unless I use the ip address02:26

KonHi, I've been trying to talk a new user through their Bionic install, and they keep failing to install GRUB because Ubiquity will not let them set the mount point of the EFI partition. What is going on there? Here's their picture of the partition table https://i.imgur.com/KdGTvAy.jpg12:55
akemwr "onboard".12:57
KonWhen they click on Change for /dev/sda1, the input field for Mount Point is grayed out when "EFI system partition" is selected12:57
jeremy31Kon any issue with choosing /dev/sda12:59
Konjeremy31: They accidentally chose /dev/sda the first time and could not boot to Ubuntu. /dev/sda would be the correct location for legacy GRUB,not grub-efi13:00
Kongrub-efi must be installed onto the EFI system partition and mounted at /boot/efi13:02
KonBut as I said, Ubiquity will not allow them to change the mount point once "EFI system partition" is chosen as the partition type!13:02
jeremy31It looks like windows might be installed, was the EFI partition added?13:03
KonThe EFI system partition already existed before the Ubuntu installation13:03
jeremy31Kon is it a newer HP?13:05
KonDell13:06
jeremy31Kon might need to search on the model number and see if it has issues.  I had to change the OS boot loader setting in my HP to get it working13:08

akempragmaticenigma, Ok.13:26
KonAhh, you had both installed side by side13:26
pragmaticenigmaAleric: This article appears to be comprehensive in getting deluge setup to work with systemd: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-Deluge-Headless.html13:27
Alericpragmaticenigma: I found that (on simular websites) too. The bottom line is that ubuntu's 'deluged' package is heavily broken and does not and can not work out-of-the-box.13:30
AlericI was asking here because I find that strange.  I even found bug reports for this that nobody ever reacted to or fixed, it seems.13:31
AlericMost notably, by default (out of the box) deluged runs as the user 'debian-deluged', but deluge-web is broken when the user name includes a '-' and will not connect to the deluged.13:32
AlericThat is why websites that explain how to install deluged on ubuntu all tell you to create a user 'deluge' and chown -R directories that were installed by apt.13:33
pragmaticenigmaAleric: It's a universe package, which means it is maintained by the community. I don't know how the deluge packages are added there, if someone is simply taking them from the deluge dev group, or if someone taking the time to actually implement it specific to Ubuntu.13:34
pragmaticenigmaThe Deluge team encourage people to install from the PPA... The volunteers here discourage PPAs because some PPA maintainers have been known to add Ubuntu core packages and then update those packages, breaking Ubuntu installations. Unfortunately, the best that I can do here is point you in the direction of that article13:36
Alericok13:36
AlericThis clears up enough for me to explain the brokeness and I'll just take the manual steps to make it work. Thanks.13:37

rrttyyHi, how would I go about opening ports? I wish to open the range 5000-24000.15:48
Sven_vBrrttyy, 1. check what closes them15:49
pragmaticenigmaixxie: There is not... if you need something from a later release, you best option is to upgrade15:49
Sven_vBrrttyy, e.g., do you have a firewall installed?15:49
pragmaticenigmaixxie: Sorry, that should have said "newer" release15:49
Sven_vBixxie, if you're very lucky, downloading the old package and extracting it manually might work. depends on what libs that package needs.15:51
Sven_vBgiaco, on a xenial machine I solved this with a setting "route-metric=800" in the [ipv4] section of the cable connection config in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections15:53
pragmaticenigmaSven_vB: Please don't recommend things that can lead to someone corrupting their installation. Support here is for the packages that are released for the version someone is running.15:53
Sven_vBgiaco, not sure which link I tried to prioritize though, so you might need to put it in other connections.15:53
Sven_vBpragmaticenigma, ok15:53
pragmaticenigmaixxie: Another option would be to see if the package has a snap version available, that might be more up-to-date15:54

rainmanjam@Sven_vB yes @pragmaticenigma true but it's running Ubuntu 18.04 and was hoping someone else has seen this before.16:00
pragmaticenigmarainmanjam: what you described seems highly specific to the Azure environment16:01
rrttyySven_vB: I'm using amazon EC2 ubuntu 18.04, there's no "service iptables" or firewalld16:01

rrttyyI've actuall been trying this for three hours16:02
rrttyyI can't open ports on my debian machine (which I'm using rn) either16:02
rainmanjam@pragmaticenigma Thanks for your time. I'll dip into the Azure chan and ask16:02
Sven_vBrrttyy, sounds like a cloud service. usually the problem there is not about opening a port on your VM interface, but how to get a port on a public IP routed to you. your cloud provider would need to offer this service.16:02
rrttyyI already have followed all the steps and opened the required ports through amazon's ec2 service.16:03
Sven_vBrrttyy, or of course you could relay from another server you have a public IP on, via SSH tunnel16:03
rrttyyI just need to open them on linux16:03
rrttyyI have them set to accept connections from my ip only16:03
rrttyyssh to the same machine works16:03
rrttyyI enablethem on iptables but neither lsof not netstat show them as open16:04
rrttyyI can't figure out what the problem is16:04

giacouse/instant configuration (ansible?) is it sufficient to save such file?16:05
eelstreborwhy is the bind9-host package showing as deprecated in synaptic but i can't remove it without removing dnsutils also?16:12
Sven_vBrrttyy, you could use a packet sniffer to see at which point of connection handshake the problem occurs. e.g. if the connection request even arrives.16:17
ioriaeelstrebor, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=94813916:17
ubottuDebian bug 948139 in bind9-host "host is told as a deprecated utility in bind9-host although it's not." [Normal,Fixed]16:17
tdresHi, does anybody have experiences with the compatibility of the AMD X570 chipset and the included RAID controller? Or information where I can find out more about the compatibility with Ubuntu?16:17
Sven_vBgiaco, I usually create a similar-enough connection in nm-connection-editor on a desktop machine, then edit the resulting config file as needed and upload it.16:18
Sven_vBgiaco, make sure it's owned by root:root and nobody else can read or write it, NM is rather picky about the file permissions.16:19
Sven_vBthen just restart the service and it should detect the connection.16:19

syntaxfreeHi. I just installed Ubuntu 18 on a supported Dell laptop (eg media keys and all such working). But the key where I'm supposed to have the vertical pipe character -- also according to the keyboard layout in the gnome control center produces >>>16:49
syntaxfree<< without shift (where originally without shift it produced \. but I'm okay with relearning key placement, problem is I can't find the vertical pipe. At all.)16:50
zutatsyntaxfree: are you sure it's the correct layout variant that you chose?16:51
Jordan_Utdres: It seems like thats a card where RAID operations are done on the CPU and with main memory, ather than actually being done by separate RAID hardware. Once you've booted an OS (windows, Ubuntu, OpenBSD, etc) it is entirely the responsibility of the OS to do all RAID operations. From the OS's point of view, the motherboard is just presenting a bunch of disks as if you had no raid card at all. Thus,16:51
Jordan_Uwe generally call this FakeRAID. FakeRAID is not recommended with GNU/Linux because while linux's dmraid will be doing all of the raid work, you'll be using AMD's proprietary format for storing the data (called the RAID metadata). Instead, it's recommended to use mdraid with Free, more reliable metadata formats and support.16:51
syntaxfreeit doesn't match my keyboard exactly. but my keyboard is printed with ABNT labels and I use US-International. This means I'm always learning key placements every computer I get to.16:52
syntaxfreeBut -- on Windows (which of course was shipped with this laptop) the key printed "vertical pipe, \"  did just that.16:52
syntaxfreeif I could just have at any layout that has the vertical pipe bar I'd be off to the races.16:53
tdresJordan_U: Thanks for the hint. My intention was to have a RAID that would be accessible from Linux and Windows. It's supposed to be a data disk, not for the OS itself. Is there a way to access mdraids from Windows also?16:53
syntaxfreeThe placement of ~, \, [] etc. is always somewhat variable in US-international layouts. At least from the vantage point of looking at a ABNT keyboard.16:54
syntaxfreeI have a blank HH keyboard, but it's at the office and we're currently very discouraged to go there.16:54
syntaxfreeanyway, the key thing being -- I need a vertical pipe key. I don't care where it is.16:55
zutatsyntaxfree: do you have a key left to "1"?16:56
=== vlm_ is now known as vlm
syntaxfreeyes. It does ~ with shift  and ` without.16:56
ratraceHi. Installed Ubuntu under qemu-kvm, so live USB works fine, but once installed, doesn't switch to GDM prompt. I can  reboot into multi-user.target and that way it works. Found this: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-virtualization-and-cloud-90/qemu-kvm-x11-won%27t-start-ubuntu-18-04-both-host-and-guest-4175657246/16:57
syntaxfreeeverything works according to the keyboard layout that shows up in the control center settings within region/language. the little keyboard button.16:57
ratraceSo, short of writing a service to nuke /dev/fb0 or some udev rules, is this a known issue with a saner solution?16:57
syntaxfreeeverything but the vertical pipe.16:57
ratraceI find it incredible that Ubuntu does not run under qemu-kvm ...16:58
syntaxfreeInstead I have redundant <<>> to the left of Z and <> to the right of M.16:58
syntaxfree| oh wait I found it.16:58
Jordan_Utdres: I'm not seeing anything from a quick google search, so I'm guessing that there's nothing tride-and-true. You might be able to do so reliably using Windows Subsystem For Linux, but I'm not sure. And if you did that, you'd likely just want to use a native linux filesystem like ext4/btrfs for your data drive. If you want to go the WSL route, lets move the discussion to ##windows. If you want to try16:58
Jordan_Uto get AMD's proprietary RAID working in Ubuntu, we can discuss that here.16:58
zutatsyntaxfree: where? :P16:58
syntaxfreethree keys right of L.16:59
syntaxfreeMost keys are according to custom. e.g. I have a ;  where 'c (ech, the &ccedil; character) is printed.16:59
zutatsyntaxfree: hmm. isn't that the usual US layout position for it16:59
syntaxfreeI have to configure this to support '+a = the accented character too. Didn't expect that.17:00
syntaxfreeMaybe I just have to submit to the ABNT layout. I can type in ABNT, just not used to it.17:00
tdresJordan_U: I already tried to get it working with the AMD proprietary RAID, but I never saw the disks as one. Old drivers that seem to have existed for an older version of the chipset were taken offline. If that fakeraid way would somehow work, it would be a first step.17:01
zutatsyntaxfree: i just settled to US layout + compose key for "special" characters17:01
syntaxfreeI hadn't installed portuguese-language support at all. Windows internationalization is already horrible. So much UI text that appears to be composed by something like f"English grammar uses {verb} here"17:04
Jordan_Usyntaxfree: I don't have experience here, but localectl might help. I'm looking for more details about how to specify your own variants on a keyboard layout.17:04
syntaxfreethe placement of the vertical pipe as printed  (left to the Z, but invading the space of a normal shift key) is weird already.17:05
syntaxfreegreat laptop though. my wife's 15"  squeezes a numpad and every key is small and wonky. this does what early 2010s metal macbooks did -- big summarized keyboard with plenty of resting space for the hands on the sides.17:06
syntaxfreeonly matte screen in its price range back then too. and shows up in the ubuntu supported list. easy installation overall.17:07
Jordan_Usyntaxfree: You might see some useful options for layouts from "localectl list-x11-keymap-variants YOUR_LAYOUT_HERE".17:09

syntaxfreethatś not a letter that exists. ś exists in Polish afaik17:19
syntaxfreeÉ. Pelo menos o teclado ABNT parece funcionar, não é mesmo?17:20

ratraceI have a custom script for various VMs and modalities (front, background only, rescue env, installation mode, etc...) and this is the composite of running a desktop ubuntu vm18:02
Jordan_Uratrace: Well, you're not the first person to encounter this problem but I'm surprised that I haven't found a bug report yet.18:05
ratraceJordan_U: I know I'm not first because I found the solution about removing /dev/fb0 on linuxquestions.org . I booted into multi-user.target, ran all the updates (and btw, despite clicking the checkbox in the installer to include updates, it does not, you have to run them manually)18:07
ratracethinking the bug was fixed since the ISO was released, but no dice.18:07
rainmanjamHas anyone ran into an issue where "sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend" locks Ubuntu into a unresponsive state?18:08
Jordan_Uratrace: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1795857 might be the bug you're hitting.18:08
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1795857 in linux (Ubuntu Disco) "enable CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS" [Undecided,Fix released]18:08
ratraceJordan_U: oh great, thanks.18:10
Jordan_Uratrace: Switching to using Spice should work around the problem, and may get you better video performance.18:15
ratraceJordan_U: that's okay, I only need this temporarily to run some tests against some ubuntu-only software, I already wrote a service to nuke /dev/fb0 before gdm starts18:16
Jordan_UI am now excited to see that https://virgil3d.github.io/ is mature. I'll have to try it out some time soon :)18:20
wlan2So I have an issue: I can't either remove or upgrade openmpi-bin because something about /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/mpi being corrupted. That's on a machine I just upgraded from 18.04 to 20.0418:25
wlan2Never seen this before.18:26
wlan2Can't even purge it with dpkg.18:26
oerhekswlan2, join #ubuntu+1 for support, until release18:26

jezebelhello, i just installed ubuntu using netinst and i just get a blank screen on tty7, shouldn't i at least be staying on tty1?18:35
jezebeli changed the boot target to multi-user and it's no different18:35
oerheksmulti-user is tty, change to graphical-target ?18:36
jezebelit was on graphical target, i dont want a graphical target18:36
jezebelthis is for 19.10 netinst btw18:37
jezebelpstree isnt giving much hints as to why it's switching to tty7 - likely because of exec'ing?18:38
oerheksi think you want tty3?18:39
jezebeli want to stay on tty118:41
ioriajezebel, what 's in your  /etc/default/grub ?18:49
jezebelthe switch to tty7 occurs even without xorg being installed btw18:49
jezebeli havent changed it18:49
jezebelit's what netinst put there18:50
ioriajezebel, cat /proc/cmdline18:50
jezebelGRUB_DEFAULT=0, GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden, GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=..., GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash", GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""18:50
jezebelahhh there it is18:51
jezebeli didnt change my kernel command line btw18:51
ioriai know18:51
jezebelBOOT_IMAGE=... root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=718:51
ioriaremove spalsh18:51
jezebelthat vt.handoff looks likely18:52
ioriathe same18:52
jezebelahhh18:53
ioriaand run sudo update-grub18:53
jezebelyeah i ran that already18:53
jezebelcool18:53
jezebelso it switches me to tty7 then it switches to tty118:53
jezebelstrange it would do all this when xorg isnt installed18:54
ioriai know, old story it assumes for some reason that you have already installed a de18:54
ioriaso it sets grub with  'quiet splash'18:55
jezebelshouldnt splash only apply if plymouth is installed?18:55
ioriayes18:56
jezebelnow to get rid of the vt.handoff18:59
jezebelis xorg meant to pull in gnome-terminal by default rather than xterm, because then that pulls in gnome-desktop19:13
sarnoldprobably if you apt install xterm xorg   the xterm dependency will be satisfied, then not bring in gnome-terminal19:14
jezebelyeah i am doing that instead19:14
jezebeljust a bit of a surprise19:15
ioriajezebel, it pullsboth19:17
zletnoktHi, so im totally new to Ubuntu, and this forum. Im having problems with MySql server installation. Where can I get help?19:17
ioriajezebel, apt-cache showpkg xorg | grep  xterm  (at leat on bionic)19:18
jezebelyeah19:19
jezebelit wants gnome-terminal or xterm or x-terminal-emulator19:19
ioriazletnokt, what's the problem ?19:21
zletnoktCant start the server, get this error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'Tried google for solutions, but I dont understand what im supposed to do...19:25
ioriazletnokt,  dpkg -l | grep mysql | nc termbin.com 999919:27
analogicalmaybe this is the wrong place to ask  but does anyone know what's happened with the Linux Mint IRC on Spotchat?19:40
jezebeldoes the socket file exist? try: stat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock19:40
ioriahe has multiple mysql installed19:40
ioria57.7 + 819:40
oerheksanalogical, surely the wrong place to ask, try ##linuxmint19:41
jezebelouch19:41
AlericI can't figure out how I did this :(.  When I click on a link that ends in .torrent - that torrent is automatically added to a torrent client on a DIFFERENT machine.  I need to change this now, but there is no way I can find back how this works!20:01
AlericAnyone has an idea? Can't I just see in Chrome what it does when you click on such a link?20:02
AlericAh... I ran 'locate torrent' on the remote server and among the huge list I found a 'torrent.py' in a directory that I wrote.  That is the script that adds it to the client.20:05
AlericI suspect that from this machine that torrent.py is executed remotely using ssh... I guess I'll have to do a disk search :p.20:05
sarnoldAleric: ~/.mailcap perhaps?20:07
AlericNo such file20:07
FrankyGovGood evening20:09
FrankyGovI am trying to make changes to the default settings in Putty but it seems not accepting any change20:09
AlericHmm, I ran a 'find' on my home directory and found the file that executes this torrent.py remotely, it's ~/bin/start_deluge .. But now I have to find out from where that script is called :/20:10
FrankyGovDoes anybody know how to find the config settings in Ubuntu and perhaps, attempt to change the settings from there.20:10
AlericI don't have putty installed. I just use ssh.20:13
sarnoldAleric: you could try grep -r start_deluge ~   and see what you find20:14
sarnoldAleric: if your homedir is huge, maybe use ripgrep instead of grep -r20:14
Alericsean:~>apt-file search ripgrep20:15
Alericsean:~>20:15
Aleric:/20:15
sarnoldI guess there's also silver searcher, executable ag20:16
AlericI'm running: find . -type f -exec grep -l 'start_deluge' {} \;20:16
Alerictakes very long20:16
sarnoldthat's way too slow20:16
sarnolduse grep -r instead20:16
AlericIt found something:20:16

sarnoldyay20:18
AlericBut also in ./.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache20:19
Alericapplication/x-bittorrent=start_deluge.desktop;20:19
AlericBut yeah.. I guess I didn't have to find this :/... When I click on a .torrent it calls start_deluge, that is actually all I needed to know %-).  I can just change that script.20:20
sarnoldit's nice to know *why* something works, too :)20:20

pillager86How do I get Minecraft to run better? I installed the Oracle Java (confirmed with java -v) and it still runs poorly20:31

jezebelis it possible to install chromium-browser as a non-snap package?20:52
luna_jezebel: would think so20:52
luna_jezebel: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser20:53
sarnoldjezebel: I think it depends on what release of ubuntu you're using20:53
jezebelhmmm seems not without using debian repos20:54
octav1aHi All. At a lab I work at we have all ubuntu servers and one "Archive machine" which is a mac mini. All it does is act as a file transfer server for a number of USB disk arrays attached to it. Administrating backups, user account, and other tools on this machine is a pain compared to all of the ubuntu servers. How difficult would it be theoretically to install ubuntu server on it? Should I just request my lab to get another small computer to use instead20:59
octav1aof bothering?20:59
bray90820Maybe someone can help me with some errors I am getting on ubuntu 19.1021:02
bray90820https://pastebin.com/raw/BYDRk75621:02
AlericHmm, I have to move a directory of 1.7 TB to another machine.. but there is not enough space to make a tar ball.  I suppose I can use rsync? But how? :/21:07
cluelessperson_Aleric,   rsync -r --progress user@othermachine ./this_directory/21:08
Alericbray90820: remove /var/crash/anbox-modules-dkms.0.crash and try again - then look at that file and all the other files it mentions to understand why it doesn't work.21:08
bray90820Aleric: Still getting the error after removing that file21:09
AlericERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/anbox-modules-dkms.0.crash'21:10
AlericThat one?21:10
AlericAfter you removed it?21:10
bray90820Yes21:10
sarnoldoctav1a: I'm not sure, I've heard mac minis have a 32 bit efi environment or something else funny. an intel NUC is about the same size and probably not too expensive..21:10
AlericWell - then just read all the files to see if you understand what the problem is21:11
bray90820I don't understand that's why I am asking in here21:12
AlericI can't read your files21:12
AlericConsult /var/lib/dkms/anbox/1/build/make.log for more information.21:12
AlericYou looked at it?21:12
bray90820I don't really know what the stuff in the file means but here is a pastebin of it21:13
octav1asarnold: yeah, I think we actually have one of those lying around anyway..21:13
bray90820https://pastebin.com/raw/CsKAEiUq21:13
sarnoldoctav1a: woo :)21:14
sarnoldbray90820: do you want anbox? do you know why you've got it?21:15
bray90820I had it to run some android apps but the ansdroid apps didn't work for what I wanted anyways21:15
sarnoldyou could apt purge the package if youi're not needing it21:16

ArmageddonAleric, why is there 2 : ? and why aren't you using a pastebin ?21:19
AlericFor two lines?21:20
Armageddonbelieve it or not, makes them more readable for some21:20
Armageddonbut you have 2 :21:20
sarnoldheh, I did see a two-line paste the other day where the second line just never made it through. the other guy was really confused..21:21
Alericok it's running.. ETA 30 minutes.21:22
Armageddoncool, now you copy all of your ubuntu images to your system21:22
AlericYes yes, they are ubuntu images *cough*21:23
AlericUgh - this is actually going to take 14 hours :(21:33
ArmageddonAleric, maybe you should make sure you're running it in a tmux session, or screen and that you add the resume flag at some point, maybe simply use -avP21:38
Armageddongood luck21:38
AlericI'll take the risk now it already runs... if it fails then I'm going to move the harddisk to other PC to make a copy :?21:39

Sven_vBin xenial or bionic, is there a way to assign a file system label to an MBR/EBR partition that contains a LUKS-encrypted LVM PV?21:58
EriC^^Sven_vB: afaik mbr doesnt have labels21:59
Sven_vBEriC^^, indeed. I mentioned MBR/EBR to clarify that I'm looking for sth. like file system labels, i.e. inside the partition, as opposed to GPT partition names.22:09
Sven_vBEriC^^, various file systems like ext[234], FAT, NTFS etc. offer the label feature, so I thought maybe a LUKS container has it as well.22:10
Sven_vBI should have called it "container" in the first place. found https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/230308 now.22:12
AlericHow can a MBR be encrypted? :/22:12
Jordan_USven_vB: LUKS2 containers can have unencrypted labels.22:13
Jordan_USven_vB: Why use MBR in the year 2020 though?22:14
Sven_vBAleric, an MBR is just data. :) you might be looking for hardware disk encryption, or a loop device with an entire disk image in it. in my case, the encryption is limited to one partition; the MBR doesn't know about it.22:15
Sven_vBJordan_U, Win8 compatibility.22:16
Sven_vBJordan_U, my Win8.1 cannot boot when its boot loader partition is on a GPT disk.22:16
Sven_vBJordan_U, thanks for the LUKS2 hint anyway. :)22:17

gimmelHi all, I'm having difficulty running apt update. All of the sources report errors about not having a Release file. On research, this is usually a time/date issue, but 'date' returns correctly. What else might I need to look into?23:39
Bashing-omgimmel: Out-of-support release ? What shows ' lsb_release -a ' ?23:45
gimmelBashing-om: nope - 19.04 disco23:47
Bashing-om!19.04 | gimmel23:47
ubottugimmel: Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) was the 30th release of Ubuntu, support ended January 2020. see !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-January/005263.html23:47

sarnoldgo to 19.10 and I suggest holding off another few weeks before going to 20.0423:52
sarnoldunless you like filing bug reports of course, in which case please do :)23:53

gimmelAlright, so follow the instructions here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EoanUpgrades, and it tells me to first modify /etc/updaet-manager/release-upgrades, and then run do-release-upgrade. This fails simply saying my release is not supported and to check upgrade instructions here - http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife. This just redirects to /about/release-cycle, which appears to be just info about23:58
gimmelthe release cycle, not upgrade instructions.23:58
