[00:00] Hi everyone [00:01] hi. [00:01] zoom crashes for me on Kubuntu 20.04; how can I diagnose the exact problem? [00:03] I'm trying install ubuntu 20.04 on an Asus G751 with 2 SSD drives. I would like to config the drives in RAID-0. I used to use the Net Install but 20.04 doesn't seem to have a Net Install option. Can anyone point me to the right direction? [00:12] carrera: RAID-0 means doubling the chance to loose data, you're aware of this? [00:14] carrera: RAID-0 means doubling the chance to loose data, you're aware of this? [00:15] tomreyn, yes, I am :( [00:15] i guess your options are installing the server installer, the legacy server installer, or debootstrap. [00:15] *using the [00:16] i don't think the desktoip installer supports this scenario (but can always be wrong) [00:18] I upgraded from 19.10 to 20.04 this morning. I just ran ps and I saw that I've got processes with pid's > 32767! That seems to be new in 20.04. Is that documented anywhere? [00:20] I installed Ubuntu 20.04 yesterday, [00:20] tomreyn, thanks [00:21] There is no sound through HDMI [00:21] I'm using nvidia graphics card [00:22] waltman: did the output of cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max change then? [00:22] GF108 High Definition Audio Controller [00:23] The only output available is Digital Outpu (S/PDIF) [00:23] Also the mic (laptop webcam) is also not detected [00:23] tomreyn: An excellent question! It's currently 4194304. I don't know what it used to be. [00:24] I mean the mic embedded along the laptop webcam is also not detected [00:24] Its a fresh install [00:24] waltman: 32768 on amd64 18.04 LTS. it's probably made possible by dropping x86 support [00:24] Anyone ? [00:26] I ran alsa_info script [00:27] and it uploaded the info on http://alsa-project.org [00:28] is it possible to avoid apparmor messages like "apparmor="DENIED" operation="ptrace" from spamming the journals? [00:29] The audio was working on Ubuntu 18.04.4 (I upgraded it from 16.04) and now don't recall, If I implemented any fix in 18.04 or not. [00:30] nVidia proprietary driver 390 [00:33] greetings, anyone there ? [00:34] !patience [00:34] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [00:35] tomreyn :) (y) [00:35] Anyone know how to turn off cinnamon opengl effects? They defaulted on with 20.04 and my terrible Intel graphics do not do the right thing with them. [00:39] One thing to note though, following this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure, [00:39] aplay -D plughw:1,9 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [00:40] the above command does play sound via HDMI [00:42] aplay -l does seem to suggest that there are 2 cards, [ HDA Intel MID ] & [ HDA nVidia (hdmi) ] [00:44] Houston, in the blind, this is Kowalski. [00:44] :) [00:46] I figured out that card 1, device 9 send audio to HDMI via this command -->> aplay -D plughw:1,9 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [00:46] but cannot figure out how to set it in Ubuntu Settings. [00:46] Ubuntu 20.04 === a_lover_at_china is now known as alac [01:10] thanks tomreyn and quadrathoch2 ! [01:13] hm. Ok, revised problem statement. After update, my opengl no longer works at all. [01:13] glxgears is just a black screen === zbenjamin is now known as Guest86992 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:21] Installing 20.04. i am taking an existing ntfs partition.. what I need to do is make another swap and a / --- or will it use the swap that is on the drive already? --> i have windows,18.04, and several unused ntfs partitions (I was told to use the Windows partitioner, so I just partitioned up the disc.) [01:21] Way back when I remembered my windows password. [01:24] hello, i have an old installation of ubuntu 16 on a partition and i'm trying to delete the partition but gparted wont let me [01:26] RoseBus i am becomming a mistress of doing things another way. Can you reformat it i stead of delete it? Can you just install over jt? [01:27] i want to empty the hard drive for sale [01:27] IANASO (I am not a sysop) [01:28] Maybe if you boot from a liveusb so it can be unmounted RoseBus [01:29] You can't do anything with gparted to a mounted partition [01:30] weird, Cinnamon doesn't work but kde plasma does. *shrug* [01:30] RoseBus: "delete the partition" really doe snothing to the data on the drive other than flip a few bytes on the partition table [01:31] Somebody tell me do I have to create another swap partition to go with this installation or will it use the old one. Hi tomreyn [01:32] RoseBus: if you want to have a chance to prevent others from restoring the data you'll need to overwrite it (the data itself, so the entire partition, or better the entire disk, once all data is backed up) with random data or at leat zero it. [01:32] my gnome desktop can't delete files and can't open files giving a gnome-shell error on journalctl, but if I open ~/Desktop, I can delete and open the same file, is there a configuration about this? [01:32] tripelb: Will use an existing swap aprtition. [01:33] Bashing-om ok then all I need to make is / [01:34] hi [01:34] tripelb: Yup - formated for a linux file system. [01:35] Ext4 / this is easier. [01:35] Betal: what's the error message? use a !pastebin for multiple lines of output, or imgur.com for a screenshot [01:36] Betal: permissions ? what shows ' ls -ld /home/beta1 ' - where Beta1 is your actual user name on the system. [01:37] tomreyn: it is like, gnome-shell execution of "file/full/path" failed :: command not found, when trying to open [01:38] but if I open the file manager to ~/desktop, and double click, it opens the file [01:39] Betal: i didn't ask what it's like, i asked for an error message. [01:41] Betal: also the output of the command Bashing-om asked for may help. as well as auxialiary information, such as your ubuntu version, how this may have happened, when it started happening etc. [01:42] !details [01:42] Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [01:51] Hi. Does someone have experience with exiftool? [01:51] I am trying to delete a specific xmp tag from a bunch of images, but I think i'm quite lost [01:53] i have a slightly off topic question about kubernetes--may I? [01:55] tomreyn: https://bpaste.net/raw/BIMQ Ubuntu 20.04, started after the update to 20.04 [01:56] I really like the fact that the 20.04 lockscreen no longer is its own image, but a blurry image of the desktop background, now. So simple, yet nice. [01:57] Betal: would you have any idea why gnome-shell would try to execute "/home/betal/Desktop/Link to LOG.txt" though? [01:58] its almost like they saw a mac :) [01:58] tomreyn: this happens if I double click the given file on the "desktop" the gnome show up (the workspace's desktop) [01:58] Betal: hmm you upgraded to 20.04 LTS, this would have been an unsupported upgrade at this time. [02:00] oh did 20.04 come out? cool. doing to update my 20.04 pre-release VM [02:00] Betal: change permissions of the file to not be executable, this will likely solve it. [02:00] tomreyn: the way the error happens is like gnome don't have permissions to execute the files, because when I open ~/Desktop on nautilus it can open [02:02] Betal: ls -l "/home/betal/Desktop/Link to LOG.txt" [02:03] tomreyn: just to say, this "Link to LOG" is a symlink [02:03] I can't remove the x flag [02:03] you're probably dealing with one of the several deficiencies of the gnome-extension handling files on the desktop [02:04] so where does the symlink point to and what are the permissions of that? [02:06] hey all... i dont understand visudo exactly ... is there a way to run a script with root-privileges, without password is needed? [02:06] i want allow this script only for one user [02:08] andre144k: yep--the NOPASSWD directive [02:09] andre144k: so are you another person than the one who asked the same question in #ubuntu-de twice today? [02:09] i always have to look up the exact syntax--the sudoers file format is hideous [02:09] tomreyn: meanwhile I found this on journalctl -f https://bpaste.net/raw/H3KA [02:09] s/another/a different/ [02:10] tomreyn, no, im here registered with only this username [02:11] andre144k: okay, just a coincidence then. [02:12] maybe someone have an exact example for user "foobar" and script "/Scripts/foo.sh" - i dont understand exactly how to define this correct [02:14] so if user "someuser" is to be able to run /usr/sbin/somescript as root without a password prompt, you would do echo 'someuser ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/somescript' | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers.d/somescript_someuser >/dev/null then after next logout and login this should start working (sudo is still needed) [02:14] foobar ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /Script/foo.sh [02:14] this should it be [02:16] you'll basically be undermining an essential security concept there, though, so make sure this script can't take arguments which could elevate access further. [02:20] tomreyn, thank you for informations... its a little usv-script which is sending mailreport and will shutdown database before stop system normaly [02:29] thank you much, its working :) [02:38] I am trying to connect to a server using ssh -X - I use ssh all the time, have never wanted x before, all seems fine till I try and invoke a graphical program, at that time I get the error: Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified - what do I need to do that I am not doing on which (ie client or server) machine? [02:44] tomreyn: reloging 'fixed' the errors from last paste, and yes, looks the x flag make diference, the link is to a file on ntfs partition, and I think this might affect it, (on 18.04 this specific behavior was working). I also tested with local files with x and without x flag, the file.txt with x flag don't open, so you are correct about it [02:50] if anyone cared - to solve my x problem I just needed to install xauth on the server === anon is now known as Guest72994 === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [03:28] Hi guys, how do I configure a dns server from Ubuntu's recovery in order to be able to use apt? I am using ubuntu 18.04 [03:34] pennTeller: How are you connected to the internet? [03:34] Jordan_U: on eth0 and I already did ifup and dhclient. I have a working IP just not DNS :( [03:35] pennTeller: Does your DHCP provide DNS information to other clients? [03:37] Yes it normally does [03:37] pennTeller: Is this a desktop install? [03:38] Yes, desktop install on a Lenovo laptop [03:39] pennTeller, goto here /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and look for the connection name [03:39] when you find it [03:40] open it in an editor add either your dns or googles dns=8.8.8.8; [03:40] zhanx: ok in it [03:41] Thans that worked [03:42] :D [03:43] Thanks* [03:44] hi! [03:44] I am in trouble! [03:44] no problem pennTeller [03:44] I just logged in via SSH to my server, and ran apt update && apt upgrade [03:44] while it was upgrading, I got a screen asking me to configure postfix (a blue config screen in the shell) [03:44] however, my internet connection got interrupted at that point [03:44] how can I continue on the server? [03:46] zhanx, theoretically what would i do, if I wouldn't have any file in that directory? (just looked into mine) (/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/) [03:46] Rojola1, you cant [03:46] always use 'screen' or something when doing stuff like that on a server so you can bring a session back [03:46] quadrathoch2, make one based off the ifconfig names [03:47] but you can probably run upgrade again to continue [03:47] ben64 wont he have to kill the pid first [03:47] zhanx: Didn't it use to fire up another ssh session at port 1022 or is that false memory? Could be, I'm old after all... [03:47] zhanx, but there most be something I can do?!? [03:47] this is where I got interrupted: [03:47] https://filebin.net/8whxhq5u0u8v8w54/interrupted_here.png?t=6m4wkmgc [03:47] zhanx: maybe [03:48] try doing upgrade again Rojola1 [03:48] Mordoc, maybe, i just use screen these days [03:48] Ben64, I did - the pid is locked [03:48] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:48] E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ [03:48] thanks zhanx [03:48] is apt or dpkg runningc currently? [03:48] Ben64, yes, of course it's running, but I can not access it any more [03:49] of course? it could have gotten killed [03:49] Ben64, because I was logged in via SSH when my internet connection broke down [03:49] Ben64, am I allowed to end the process? [03:49] I don't want to cause a disaster [03:49] will probably be ok [03:49] Rojola1, end the process and restart it, this time over a screen session [03:51] zhanx, Ben64: please hold my hand while doing so. [03:51] Rojola1: Try ssh'ing to port 1022 on the same box (assuming that you haven't UFW'ed it out of contact). Might be a door back in... [03:51] killall -9 apt ? [03:51] Mordoc, I can SSH my way onto the server [03:51] just do it by pid [03:51] restart sshd [03:51] find the process and just "kill " it [03:51] Mordoc, the problem is, that "apt upgrade" did not get finished [03:51] ok, one moment [03:52] done [03:52] Rojola1: If you are doing a do-release-upgrade it starts a backup session for cases like this, it only works if you have screen installed as well. [03:52] Rojola1: If it doesn [03:52] how does screen work? [03:53] Rojola1: screen -r [03:53] it keeps a session going and you can have mutiple windows and all kinds of cool stuff [03:53] thank you, time to hit the manpage! [03:53] Rojola1: if it doesn't work, apparently screen isn't installed and zhanx and Ben64 are right, do what they say... [03:54] I ran into one more issue now [03:54] still locked on the file right? [03:54] https://dpaste.org/Aax4/raw [03:54] zhanx, nah, it seems to work [03:54] but I am being asked this (see url) [03:54] I'm on a terminal only session gang, I'm out... [03:54] Rojola1, that is a Y [03:55] thank you Mordoc, bye! [03:55] Rojola1: I am curious about how that file got deleted. Did you do that? [03:55] thank you zhanx ! [03:55] thank you Ben64 [03:56] when you need to configure fstrim you will know it for the cron job etc [03:56] Jordan_U, no, I did not, that's why I preferred to ask rather than doing anything [03:56] apt ended with an error [03:56] Good work folks... [03:57] I only paste the last few lines: [03:57] https://dpaste.org/iO3W/raw [03:57] Rojola1: Deleting configuration files isn't something that scripts or humans do very often, at least not intentionally. This file should be fine, but I'm curious if you have a larger problem that caused this. [03:57] Jordan_U, probably time to take a backup... [03:58] Rojola1, that was the lock i was waiting you to say [03:59] dpkg --configure -a (as sudo or su) [03:59] https://dpaste.org/jxkA/raw [03:59] zhanx, ^ [04:01] zhanx, can this be fixed, pleeeease? [04:01] try apt update && apt upgrade one more time and if that doesn't work we will unlock manually (not recommended) [04:02] thank you zhanx for being there for me [04:02] zhanx, https://dpaste.org/SEEA/raw [04:02] i had tons of help when i first started out, trust me, its just paying it back [04:03] apt-get -f install [04:04] should I really confirm? => https://dpaste.org/g84c/raw [04:05] Rojola1, yes that is the package you needed that was broke [04:05] aka this https://dpaste.org/iO3W/raw [04:06] omg... [04:06] https://dpaste.org/N7kT/raw [04:06] god I really messed up [04:06] nope [04:06] pm time for these commands [04:09] Rojola1, that show get you rolling now [04:10] ^should [04:11] Rojola1, after the updates you need to install screen [04:13] zhanx, I already said my thanks in the private chat, however, I also want the public to know: zhanx saved the day, it works!! THANK YOU :) [04:13] Rojola1, keep in mind, I broke it like that before [04:14] how would I reconnect to the same session using screen in the future? [04:14] screen -d -r [04:14] if an SSH connection got disrupted? [04:14] Rojola1, read up on screen you will love it [04:15] Rojola1: You have to *start* your commands in a screen session. Just run "screen" to start a screen session. When you want to connect to that session run "screen -r". [04:16] Jordan_U, his larger issue for losing that config file was where the update stopped it [04:16] at [04:18] I am trying out 'screen' now [04:19] I typed "screen", confirmed the text by hitting the ENTER key, and then I can cat > testing.txt and typed some letters [04:19] now I am opening an other terminal, and connecting from there [04:19] install reptyr while you are at it [04:20] "There is no screen to be resumed." [04:20] zhanx: That makes some sense, though now I'm concerned that whatever packager made the scripts for that package is doing this in a very poor way. [04:21] Rojola1: You need to ssh in again and run screen -r from the server. screen doesn't replace ssh. [04:22] Jordan_U, I did that [04:22] close the first terminal without logging out or you need to include the -d [04:23] YES [04:23] Jordan_U, I can see that being an issue [04:23] it works! [04:23] -r -d [04:23] perfect! [04:23] so, if the server things I am still there -d [04:23] thx :)) [04:23] today is a good day. [04:24] Rojola1, screen can do more than that once you learn it [04:24] is it possible to use RAM for /tmp so instead of using ssd or hdd it uses ram instead [04:25] klu3, parts of it [04:26] look up tmpfs and ramtmp (is that still a thing) [04:27] thanks, im thinking of upgrading my ssd to nvme in windows and i never get pass 8-9 gigs of ram and i have 16 gigs, so i look it up and found out there's this thing called ramdisk, and i wondered if its possible in linux as well [04:28] zhanx: thanks ill look it up [04:28] klu3, try /dev/shm [04:28] it uses tmpfs [04:29] exit70: thanks for suggestion ill take a look [04:31] think i should just neural net this bot and only give it leg parameters and let it learn to walk [04:31] klu3: https://ubuntu.com/blog/data-driven-analysis-tmp-on-tmpfs [04:35] Jordan_U: thanks all, brb gonna go do some reading [05:04] Hi there. Anybody know how to get preseed.cfg example for unattended installs of Focal? [05:09] reederz,https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls [05:10] Thank you quadrathoch2 [05:10] reederz, you're welcome :) === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [05:36] Hi from Ubuntu 20.04 :wave: I am prepping an application for 20.04 and wondering if anyone could guide me in the right direction.ldd qt5app... libicui18n.so.60 => not found libicuuc.so.60 => not found libicudata.so.60 => not found... [05:36] sharpee: What application are you trying to install? [05:37] it is for a blockchain application binary using qt5 [05:37] sharpee: Is this an application you're writing yourself? What is the name of the application? [05:38] No, i am learning and debugging the app to aid core developers. The application is for https://github.com/MyHush/SilentDragon [05:39] sharpee: Is the application for SilentDragon, or is the application SilentDragon? [05:40] The app works on 19.10 and have little cpp experience with debugging. The application is called SilentDragon [05:41] from using ldd tool, these three files are not found: libicui18n.so.60, libicuuc.so.60, libicudata.so.60 [05:41] sharpee: Great. You can find what package provides a given file using the apt-file command, for exple "apt-file search libicui18n.so.60" . [05:41] okay [05:44] sharpee: Did you already install the packages listed in the README? qt5-default qt5-qmake libqt5websockets5-dev qtcreator [05:45] Hmm, that is a great question; i reinstalled 20.04 and I bet I forgot to do that. [05:49] Jordan_U I didn't. I thought the binary files for the avg. user shouldn't have to install these packages. [05:49] I am installing now and will test again [05:50] Jordan_U I ran this command for the .deb [05:50] sudo dpkg -i SilentDragon-v0.9.1-x86_64.deb [05:50] rather than building from source. Building from source, I ./build.sh [05:51] sharpee: Then "sudo apt -f install" should grab any dependencies that you may be missing, if they are available. [05:53] sharpee: Another option in the future is to run "sudo apt install /path/to/file.deb", do do the installation and grabbing of dependancies in one step. If the file is in your current directory be sure to do something like "sudo apt install ./SilentDragon-v0.9.1-x86_64.deb", the "./" lets apt know to look for a file in the current directory, rather than searching for a packagename from the repositories. [05:53] sharpee: And if dpkg -i installed without error, but the app didn't run, then that means that whoever packaged it needs to add dependencies to the package. [05:54] Super thanks Jordan_U You have been very helpful [05:54] hello. those packages were holing back. libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-dev so I cannot upgrade to 20.04. how can I fix it? === tomato365839283 is now known as tomato579281 [05:57] dreamon: Did you start the upgrade and it failed, or are you not able to start the upgrade? If the upgrade failed, please pastebin any error messages that it gave. [05:57] sharpee: You're welcome :) [06:02] Jordan_U, Its a german Ubuntu version. → https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/qWKjXdsmXg/ [06:04] dreamon, I would remove all the ppas, so the upgrade doesn't break. Probably there are some ppas which don't have a 20.04 release deb [06:06] quadrathoch2, yes. having about 15ppas [06:06] dreamon, make sure that they have a focal release, if not remove the package+ppa or wait :/ [06:08] quadrathoch2, Made a full backup. only want to test a little bit. how can i find out what ppa needs this failing package? [06:09] dreamon, sadly you would need to look them up on launchpad [06:13] Ok. Thanks [06:16] https://bpaste.net/GJLQ why is apt installing another kernel? [06:16] ubone, because kernels are always a new package, so when you hit 3 (i think) ubuntu deletes older ones, and you have a backup kernel if the newest doesn't work [06:17] can i have 1 only [06:18] ubone, you could, but what is the benefit of that? [06:18] space is limited [06:20] ubone, have a look here :) https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ubuntu-remove-old-kernels [06:21] but it shouldn't help much, as the kernels reside on the /boot partition (which is it's own partition) and so you theoretically can't get that space back (for userdata) [06:24] is the newest kernel auto selected on boot [06:24] ubone, yes === tomato579281 is now known as Guest42024 [07:38] hello!, i trying to remove a extension that don't work in 20.04, but don't have the option in tweaks/extension // gnome website, any help?

[08:24] yea [08:24] with the link u provided :) [08:25] good [08:30] Hello [08:30] How can I obtain a new version of xournalpp? The apt-get command gave me a version that doesn't have a feature I need [08:32] I tried to build xournalpp from source but it requires a cmake version that apt doesn't have [09:08] Hello - I am running a HTPC with the Athlon 200GE. I have noticed that in video playback, it´s using software decoding, not hardware decoding. In previous Ubuntu versions I used the oibaf ppa to enable hardware decoding. Is this still needed in 20.04? [09:28] is it possible for a single partition of a drive with multiple partitions to be a member of a software RAID5? [09:29] Andrio, no [09:29] why not? [09:30] oh sorry i misunderstood the question [09:30] yes it can (if I understand now) [09:31] how do I set it up like that? [09:31] (on Ubuntu Server 20.04) [09:31] installer or cli? [09:32] Installer [09:32] hey guys, i'm trying to install an Appimage and I'm extracted it to my desktop and when I run in terminal I get "No such file or directory". File is executable. Any suggestions? [09:32] there should be an option for the partition to define the space for raid [09:33] eliyahuTBR, can you post how you try to launch the appimage? [09:34] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9sJdZ9Z2r4/ [09:34] first of all try to not use sudo for an appimage, as it shouldn't need root rights [09:35] ok. i tried that after it didn't work w/o it [09:35] i get the same results w/o sudo [09:35] it's a 32-bit executable so you need the 32-bit libc6 and related packages [09:36] grawity, which should still not give you an error of not finding that file [09:37] ty [09:37] not unless it's about not finding the main ELF dynamic loader [09:37] i'll try that [09:37] (the ld-linux.so file) [09:38] libc6 is already the newest version (2.27-3ubuntu1). [09:38] you specifically need libc6-i386, I think that's what it is named [09:39] i was using the wrong appimage [09:39] thanks guys [09:39] if there's a 64-bit appimage, yes, it's better to just use that [09:48] I had some hard disks that the installer lists as 'already formatted as ext4; not used' and it won't let me create a different partition arrangement on them; why would that be? === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus === semeion is now known as mnemonic [10:33] what can I do about Ubuntu/GRUB not detecting Windows 10 on the same drive? [10:34] It didn't say "Install alongside Windows", so I tried fiddling around with partitions and installing. Now I don't get a GRUB menu, so it just boots into Ubuntu. [10:36] I've installed zfs-utils on Ubuntu 16.04. I have a memory stick formatted to zfs (using a simple zpool create command on the device). I can see the USB stick in Disks application, but the stick does not mount. Is there another step I should take? [10:36] no-n, are you installing on x86 bios? [10:36] i think detection will work only on uefi [10:38] it is uefi [10:38] hmm [10:38] Iarla: I don't think Disks supports zfs peculiar way of importing devices, does it? try `zpool import -R /mnt/usbstick` [10:38] maybe I had the BIOS settings wrong :/ [10:38] no-n: you'd need to install ubuntu in the same boot mode as you installed windows [10:39] either legacy bios or uefi [10:39] what you're saying sounds like you did it in different modes [10:39] ahh [10:39] hmm [10:41] Hello, since a couple of days I am flooded with the system notification under Ubuntu 19.10 "Chromium has been updated. It needs to be restarted for changes to take effect." Being concerned about the security of my system, I want to ask if this is the right forum for questions regarding this issue. [10:41] grawity: I don't know how far Disks support goes, but I'm really only looking to mount it. Not to manipulate it. But I don't have a /mnt entry in fstab for it so I don't think 'zpool import -R /mnt/usbstick' would work. I thought USB sticks were 'exempt' from needing an fstab entry. [10:42] frema: Have you restarted chromium? [10:42] not yet [10:42] So what is your question? [10:43] I learned that there is no auto-update feature in chromium. So I am concerned. [10:44] What are you concerned about? [10:44] Iarla: but that command has nothing to do with fstab entries in the first palce [10:44] Concerned about if my system is compromised [10:45] zf chromium in 19.10 is a snap, which gets auto-updates [10:45] frema: ^^ [10:45] grawity: ah, okay. I'll try it. How does it know which ZFS device to mount to the mnt location? [10:46] ok. so I can relax. [10:46] frema: tbh I think you'd still get the same message even if it were updated via apt or any other way [10:47] I got about 50 -100 notification in about one minute. [10:47] How can I add a binary file to my left-bar-thingie in my ubuntu? [10:47] I compiled a project to get the most recent version and I want to add it to my quick access programs [10:47] it looks like I did that yeah heh [10:47] thanks all [10:48] frema: Did you do anything that would compromise your system in the first place? [10:48] p0a, create a .desktop file for it and place it in ~/.local/share/applications [10:48] frema: otherwise, a sophisticated hack that compromises up-to-date software would not be so silly to let you know with 100 chromium update messages [10:49] kostkon: thank you [10:49] p0a: I joined a Zoom meeting and after this it happended. Could be just a weird coincidence. [10:50] frema: it sounds like a coincidence but if you're too worried about security you should learn some more on the topic [10:50] grawity: it picked the right device. Thanks :) [10:51] frema: why don't you check what your system has updated around the date that you had that Zoom meeting? It would probably include Chromium === mnemonic is now known as Guest8733 [10:52] Hi. Running ubuntu 19.04 on a thinkpad x1 carbon here (installed a few days ago). Whenever the notebook goes into sleep and I wake it up again, the touchpad is not working anymore. [10:52] I need to reboot then. Waht can I do? [10:52] p0a: Thank you for your time! I will check... [10:52] fub: 19.04 is eol [10:52]
