| chalcedny | if a person wanted to buy a 20.04 dvd where is the right place? | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| chalcedny | downloading here is iffy | 00:16 |
| nightBulb | bad internet connection or bad download speed from server ? | 00:17 |
| chalcedny | very slow dsl | 00:18 |
| nightBulb | so recommending torrent download is pointless ... | 00:18 |
| chalcedny | nightBulb, yes afraid so | 00:19 |
| oerheks | torrent on a public wifi,, https://torrent.ubuntu.com/tracker_index | 00:19 |
| chalcedny | have to look into that. | 00:21 |
| chalcedny | we aren't supposed to go places | 00:21 |
| chalcedny | even the library is closed | 00:22 |
| nightBulb | any trouble with download resume ? | 00:22 |
| chalcedny | frankly he's had endless problems with 18.04 he's hoping to get a clean good copy and start over | 00:23 |
| nightBulb | Yup did that day before yesterday ... completely removed Windows , instead installed KDE neon & Ubuntu 20.04 | 00:25 |
| nightBulb | Left the Ubuntu 18.04 intact though ... | 00:26 |
| chalcedny | ah | 00:26 |
| RoadRunner | nightBulb: the install process instructions say to download both the LPR driver AND the cupswrapper driver; does that make sense to you? | 00:26 |
| chalcedny | how can he be sure he's got the whole thing? | 00:26 |
| nightBulb | RoadRunner, the instructions are accurate ... | 00:28 |
| nightBulb | chalcedny, ? | 00:28 |
| nightBulb | sure of getting what whole ? | 00:28 |
| chalcedny | the full download of Ubuntu 20.04 | 00:29 |
| nightBulb | via bittorrent ? | 00:29 |
| chalcedny | our internet speed is really tiny | 00:30 |
| nightBulb | above 100 KB/sec or below ? | 00:30 |
| chalcedny | i'll let you know in a moment | 00:31 |
| nightBulb | https://testmy.net/ | 00:32 |
| chalcedny | Download Speed 0.35 Mbps (43.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed 0.06 Mbps (7.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency 76 ms | 00:33 |
| chalcedny | nightBulb, that's about what it is | 00:34 |
| nightBulb | Usually in bittorrent clients there is an option of force-recheck | 00:34 |
| nightBulb | the download (not the speed) | 00:34 |
| chalcedny | that's actually good for here | 00:34 |
| nightBulb | should download in 19 hours ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 00:36 |
| nightBulb | so bittorrent is better, if you try ,, | 00:36 |
| nightBulb | can easily resume from any interruption ... | 00:36 |
| chalcedny | hehehe | 00:36 |
| chalcedny | there is a place on ebay that sells ubuntu dvds | 00:37 |
| nightBulb | DSL is limited or unlimited ? | 00:37 |
| nightBulb | is there any download/time cap ? | 00:38 |
| chalcedny | there is some maximum. i think we've only hit it once | 00:38 |
| nightBulb | Time or data ? | 00:38 |
| chalcedny | data | 00:39 |
| nightBulb | monthly ? | 00:39 |
| chalcedny | yes | 00:39 |
| nightBulb | month's about to end ... | 00:39 |
| nightBulb | so can download before that ... | 00:39 |
| nightBulb | if data left .. | 00:39 |
| nightBulb | downloading is ideally better ... (ensuring you get clean ubuntu) ... | 00:40 |
| chalcedny | nod | 00:40 |
| RoadRunner | nightBulb: during the instal, after: dpkg -i --force-all (lpr-HL2040) get: syntax error near unexpected token `(' | 00:40 |

| teward | if it does not show "Debian binary package (format 2.0)" then it is not a .deb file to be installed with dpkg | 00:54 |

| murthy | I want to upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 without waiting | 01:06 |
| Jordan_U | Sven_vB: I didn't know until now that was a feature :) I can't think of a reason why that feature would go away, so probably yes? | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | murthy: No need to wait, it's only 18.04 to 20.04 where you're recommended to wait until 20.04.1 . | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | !upgrade | murthy | 01:07 |
| ubottu | murthy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 01:07 |
| Bashing-om | !ltsupgrade | murthy | 01:08 |
| ubottu | murthy: Regular upgrades from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS will be enabled once 20.04.1 is released in late July. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 01:08 |
| murthy | I am a kubuntu user | 01:09 |
| murthy | quoting from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FocalUpgrades/Kubuntu | 01:10 |
| murthy | "From 19.10, there may a delay of a few hrs to days between the official release announcements and the Ubuntu Release Team enabling upgrades" | 01:10 |
| murthy | why does that say days? | 01:10 |
| oerheks | if you take the -d option, prepare a fresh usb with iso, and have fun | 01:10 |
| murthy | oerheks: are you talking to me? | 01:11 |
| oerheks | murthy, yes, those articles give the upgrade option with -d | 01:12 |
| oerheks | still, prepare a fresh usb, just in case | 01:12 |

| nightBulb | how are you connecting the printer ? | 01:14 |
| nightBulb | RoadRunner ? | 01:14 |
| murthy | oerheks: if I use the -d option it will not upgrade to a dev version of 20.10 right? | 01:15 |
| RoadRunner | nightBulb: parallel cable | 01:15 |
| oerheks | murthy, no, it points to focal | 01:16 |
| oerheks | no gorilla :-D | 01:16 |
| murthy | oerheks: groovy! | 01:16 |
| murthy | oerheks: I am upgrading, thank you | 01:16 |
| oerheks | hav fun! | 01:16 |
| nightBulb | RoadRunner, do you mean USB ? | 01:17 |
| RoadRunner | nightBulb: no, I mean parallel cable | 01:17 |
| murthy | btw, whoever suggested the name for 20.04 my thanks. | 01:17 |
| Sven_vB | Jordan_U, well, my attempt to boot xubuntu with persistence ended up in an initram rescue shell, with lots of /bin/init errors about no medium in some disk above. I'll try and copy the messages next time. when I searched the web for "focal persistent casper-rw", I found https://askubuntu.com/q/1181854 accepted answer, bullet 2 which uses past tense for the FAT32 method. on the other hand, my attempt with a casper-rw partition seems to | 01:17 |
| Sven_vB | fail as well. | 01:17 |
| murthy | see you people later, have a nice day | 01:18 |
| nightBulb | RoadRunner, Is this your printer HL-2040 ? | 01:18 |
| RoadRunner | nightBulb: that part of instructions actually seems to be clear; my question is where to find that config file; my /etc/printcap dir is abscent | 01:19 |
| Sven_vB | oh I see I need to use another boot entry in GRUB for the loopback. | 01:19 |

| bisector | Jordan_U: both docker and lxd have a native notion of using zfs as backing. I now see @autozsys_xyz snapshots appear after running 'apt' commands. rollback can now undo bad upgrades while preserving user data (like /home) but I don't see how to tell it what else to consider user data. | 02:25 |

| digitalw00t | Prompt=normal | 02:27 |
| RoadRunner | nightBulb: I can't help but wonder, since I can't be the only one trying to print under Linux, why didn't they try to make the install and setup more automated? | 02:27 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:Yeah.. followed more than a few instructions online to get this done. | 02:28 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:Normally I just reinstall, figured I'd do an upgrade for once. | 02:28 |
| digitalw00t | If I do: | 02:29 |
| digitalw00t | apt install update-manager-core | 02:29 |
| digitalw00t | Reading package lists... Done | 02:29 |
| digitalw00t | Building dependency tree | 02:29 |
| digitalw00t | Reading state information... Done | 02:29 |
| digitalw00t | update-manager-core is already the newest version (1:16.04.17). | 02:29 |
| digitalw00t | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. | 02:29 |
| digitalw00t | Odd.. can't talk. | 02:30 |
| digitalw00t | There it goes. | 02:30 |
| digitalw00t | So yeah.. update-manger-core install reports 2 backage not upgrade. | 02:32 |
| digitalw00t | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j9rTxg9csQ/ | 02:32 |
| digitalw00t | But I for the life of me can't find what it's complaining about. | 02:32 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: Ya want that prom[t as "Prompt=lts" - the path is 16.04 -> 18.04 -> 20.04 . A lot of band width and time and possible errors. | 02:32 |
| RoadRunner | nightBulb: I don't know what time zone you are in, but regardless, after this marathon you deserve milk and cookies followed by a good snooze. Thank you and take care! | 02:33 |
| Bashing-om | !tlsupgrade | digitalw00t | 02:33 |
| digitalw00t | Ah.. the instructions I followed wanted it changed. Let me put it back. | 02:33 |
| Bashing-om | !ltsupgrade | digitalw00t | 02:33 |
| ubottu | digitalw00t: Regular upgrades from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS will be enabled once 20.04.1 is released in late July. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 02:33 |
| eelstrebor | everytime i upgrade my distro i end up fighting for hours if not days to make postfix work again | 02:33 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:So from a 16.04, I don't mind going from that to 17 then 18. I just wanted to get this machine upgraded to something near latest. | 02:34 |
| tripelb | What do you call that thing on the left that holds icons that are gigantic and I want to make them smaller. I can't look it up cuz it's not called dashboard. | 02:34 |
| topcat001 | Dock :) | 02:35 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: LTS upgrade is a direct path to the next LTS, from 16.04 that is release 18.04 :) | 02:35 |
| nightBulb | RoadRunner, thanks, it is in-fact my sleep time (not in my Time Zone), and I did just have my milk. You too take care. :) | 02:35 |
| tripelb | Ty topcat001 | 02:35 |
| tripelb | Is there a way I can put Gmail on Thunderbird? | 02:36 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: to 18.04 the command is with out the -d switch ! | 02:36 |
| digitalw00t | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HzMWnv7JjW/ | 02:37 |
| digitalw00t | Yeah.. that's what I tried and the output from it. | 02:37 |
| digitalw00t | And without the -d: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bjTx3mzY6V/ | 02:37 |
| tripelb | Is there a way I can search for an app in Ubuntu software? | 02:37 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: 18.04 is out of the development stage - run as " sudo do-release-upgrade " . | 02:38 |
| tripelb | Is there a way of getting a list version of Ubuntu software with the icon on the left and the one sentence explanation of what it is on the right. Having to click on each one to find out what it is at all is deadly aka difficult boring time-consuming and retarded like a spark. | 02:39 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:I did, that's the https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HzMWnv7JjW output | 02:39 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:It's asking me to install updates before upgrading. But I don't see any updates to apply. | 02:39 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: ^^ says "do-release-upgrade -d" to get to 18.04 do not use that -d switch ( development). | 02:40 |
| digitalw00t | I've tried it with and without. | 02:41 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: What results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' ? | 02:41 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 02:41 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: and /etc/update-manager/release-upgrade set to LTS ? | 02:42 |
| digitalw00t | cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades|grep Prompt | 02:42 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades|grep Prompt | 02:42 |
| digitalw00t | Prompt=lts | 02:42 |
| digitalw00t | Yup. | 02:42 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: ' sudo do-release-upgrade ' should workie . no ? | 02:44 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:And it responds -> Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading. | 02:46 |
| digitalw00t | You see my confusion; | 02:46 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: Yeah - lemme see that I find the file we want to have. gimme a tic to hunt. | 02:46 |

| Jordan_U | bisector: Well, mount the @qutozsys_xyz snapshot somewhere and see what it contains. Again, all my experience is with btrfs, where I have one subvolume for / and another for /home/. When I snapshot /, everything except /home/ is part of that snapshot. So I know by the path what will be included in any snapshot. Also, I can tell what snapshots are mounted where by running "mount" and seeing where the | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | mountponts are. | 02:54 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:Should I just plan on rebuilding this to current? | 02:59 |
| bisector | Jordan_U: thx. I'll go play in a VM for a bit. | 03:01 |

| ayee | I'm on ubuntu 20.04, on a macbook pro (natively running ubuntu). Everytime I boot up on ubuntu, I have to type this command to get wifi to work: "sudo iwconfig wlp3s0 txpower 10dBm". Is there a file I can put in to not have to type this on boot, and have the wifi just work on boot? | 03:33 |
| bisector | Jordan_U: Turns out /var/lib is setup to be system nor user data which is nice. since both lxd and docker images are under /var/lib they won't be messed with by a rollback from uboot. zsys uses zfs attribute 'com.ubuntu.zsys:bootfs' on the sub-filesystem for that. | 03:46 |
| Bashing-om | digitalw00t: My google-fu fails - frustrated that I can not at this time identify that control file to control do-release :( | 04:14 |
| digitalw00t | Bashing-om:No problem. I'll just have to do a forklift upgrade. | 04:14 |

| jezzirolk | im having an issue with ubuntu 20.04 server in virtual box, where i have to run netplan apply to get my networking back up. looking at the settings it seems that the bridge isnt getting an ip address. any thoughts? | 05:50 |
| jezzirolk | the bridge being the linux bridge that im using for lxd stuff in the container | 05:51 |
| jezzirolk | but is also bridged to my main network via virtualbox | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | n35xdxb0: I'm not sure that there is a convenient way. It seems that you may be able to monitor data usage by process, but you have to initiate that monitoring knowing the PID (hard for an application that's not constantly running, or has multiple processes). You can also monitor by cgroup, but then you would need to setup all of your apps to run in different cgroups. It's quite possible that there are | 05:58 |
| Jordan_U | other options I couldn't find in my quick search. | 05:58 |
| DumbLDoor | Hi! I just upgraded to 20.04 from 19.10. I have a separate data partition and somehow my desktop folder and contents are all gone | 06:31 |
| DumbLDoor | I have everything else, seemingly.. pictures, downloads, documents, videos etc | 06:32 |
| DumbLDoor | cd /home/<username>/Desktop - not found, folder does not exist.. | 06:33 |
| the_drow[m] | Is it safe to upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 yet? sudo do-release-upgrade doesn't report a new version yet | 06:34 |
| the_drow[m] | I know I can do -d but is it safe or should I wait a couple of more days? | 06:34 |
| DumbLDoor | I did a fresh install | 06:34 |
| DumbLDoor | since I have a separate data partition. | 06:34 |
| the_drow[m] | Yeh I'm gonna do that on my actual machine | 06:34 |

| JakeSays | also what does a partial upgrade entail? | 07:12 |

| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: i did | 07:18 |
| JakeSays | hadn't tried full-upgrade though | 07:19 |

| JakeSays | i also have 45 and 46 | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: how come you are not booted into -46 then? | 07:21 |
| JakeSays | wait.. i don't have the kernel or initrd for 23 | 07:21 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: and good question | 07:21 |
| JakeSays | it's a pita because something keeps breaking my grub.cfg | 07:22 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: try boooting into -46 and make sure your system is fully up to date, then try the release upgrade | 07:22 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: will do | 07:22 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: why is it that i have to use -d on update-manager to see 20.04? | 07:28 |
| JakeSays | also the repos have been changed from 19.10 to 20.04 so everything needs upgrading | 07:29 |
| JakeSays | but that doesn't seem right | 07:29 |
| JakeSays | it keeps getting stuck on -23 | 07:30 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: can you boot into -46 please and pastebin what you experience exactly? | 07:31 |
| JakeSays | i did boot to -46 | 07:32 |
| geirha | for the LTS upgrade (18.04-20.04), the option to upgrade will not appear until 20.04.1 is released. Not sure if that also applies for 19.10, or if it's just delayed a little while to get the upgrade process tested a bit more before opening it up to everyone | 07:32 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: https://pastebin.com/fCnj8MPQ | 07:33 |
| lotuspsychje | !ltsupgrade | geirha | 07:34 |

| lotuspsychje | our new factoid :p | 07:35 |
| geirha | right, but it doesn't cover why 19.10 doesn't give the upgrade option yet | 07:36 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: hmm some weird errors there, try sudo apt autoremove please? | 07:36 |
| JakeSays | is there a way to roll back the failed upgrade? | 07:36 |
| JakeSays | ok | 07:36 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: E: Can't find a source to download version '5.3.0-23.25' of 'linux-image-5.3.0-23-generic:amd64' | 07:36 |
| JakeSays | geirha: 19.10 should be available "in a few days" | 07:37 |
| JakeSays | it's only been three, so who knows | 07:37 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: not sure why apt is complaining about an older kernel liek that hmmm, maybe a dpkg forced purge that kernel version manual? | 07:38 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: will it be an issue that my package sources all point to focal now? | 07:39 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: i dont think so, cause fossa has 5.4 kernel and 5.3 -23 should gotten autoremoved already from eoan | 07:39 |
| JakeSays | ok | 07:40 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: dpkg --list | grep linux-image to see all your kernels | 07:40 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: it lists 4.18.0-10.11 to 5.3.0.46.39 | 07:42 |

| clarkk | I've set my screen to go blank after 5 minutes. In fact, when it I lock the screen via the keyboard, it does it (although doesn't turn off the screen completely). If I leave the system running overnight, after a while, the screen shows the desktop colour and the time - and thus is active all night. How do I fix this? | 07:42 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: but it doesn't list -23 | 07:42 |
| clarkk | I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, btw | 07:42 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: the dpkg purge cleaned it up i think | 07:43 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: apt should autoremove kernels automatic these days, not sure why you still got such a list of kernels | 07:43 |
| JakeSays | i dont actually have the files for them all in /boot | 07:44 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: should i do that full-upgrade now? | 07:45 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: yeah lets try sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 07:45 |
| clarkk | actually, forget my question for now - I'm trying some things | 07:46 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: ok it's off doing its thing | 07:46 |
| lotuspsychje | yay JakeSays :p | 07:47 |
| JakeSays | i just hope i dont end up with a dev build | 07:47 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: the command above is just for updating your current system | 07:48 |
| lotuspsychje | not for release jumping | 07:48 |
| JakeSays | lotuspsychje: it's pulling everything from focal | 07:49 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: might be because you already done a partial upgrade then | 07:50 |
| JakeSays | right | 07:50 |
| JakeSays | hope that doesn't mess things up | 07:50 |
| lotuspsychje | i dont think so, think it will straighten things for 20.04 now | 07:50 |
| JakeSays | good | 07:50 |
| lotuspsychje | JakeSays: maybe before rebooting, doublecheck your sources.list too and make sure there's no leftovers there | 07:51 |
| JakeSays | ok | 07:51 |

| Towser | Hello, I have a USB to serial device to use with an old dot matrix printer? How do I get the drivers and get it to work? | 10:44 |
| JediMaster | Hi all, I've consistently had problems with my inbuilt Intel 630 HD graphics on Ubuntu (18.04 and 20.04) getting dual monitors working, the HDMI works at 4k, but the DisplayPort only at 1024x768. It turns out it appears to be an issue with the modeline detection on the monitor. I'm able to manually set the 4k@60Hz resolution with xrandr but I can't find out how to make this permanent, I've tried with ~/.xprofile (set to | 10:44 |
| JediMaster | executable) and it doesn't run on login. | 10:44 |
| JediMaster | If I manually run the .xprofile after login, it corrects the resolution and both monitors work @ 4k. How do I make this permanent & global? | 10:45 |
| JediMaster | This: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting_xrandr_changes_persistently appears to be out of date | 10:45 |

| _bradk | so i did some more testing with my network dropout issues and it's not just wifi which randomly drops out, it even happens on wired connections | 10:51 |
| _bradk | (context: i recently upgraded from ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04 the other day on my lenovo t420s - system performance is much better but i've got very unreliable network connectivity now) | 10:51 |
| quadrathoch2 | _bradk, how did you upgrade? | 10:54 |
| _bradk | quadrathoch2: clean install over the top | 10:54 |
| _bradk | wiped everything during the install process | 10:55 |
| quadrathoch2 | so no upgrade, it's a clean install? | 10:55 |
| _bradk | yup | 10:55 |
| _bradk | clean install | 10:55 |
| quadrathoch2 | can you test it with other devices? or maybe even a live usb on that laptop? so that it's not the network itself? | 10:56 |
| _bradk | test it with other devices? what do you mean? | 10:56 |
| quadrathoch2 | yeah, so if the issue is with the OS or if it's maybe your network | 10:56 |
| _bradk | no other devices on the network are having problems and everything was very stable under ubuntu 18.10 | 10:57 |
| quadrathoch2 | i guess you mean 19.10 ;) | 10:57 |
| _bradk | i can try live cd | 10:57 |
| _bradk | yeah, that one :p | 10:57 |
| quadrathoch2 | would be nice :) | 10:57 |
| _bradk | i don't know why i upgraded tbh, things were working well - i just got swept up with the tlak of the performance improvements | 10:58 |
| _bradk | haha | 10:58 |
| _bradk | oh and i also set my wifi to powersave 2 from powersave 3 | 10:58 |
| quadrathoch2 | yeah but that's why there is no supported upgrade path ;) | 10:58 |
| quadrathoch2 | (for now) | 10:58 |
| quadrathoch2 | just to get the last few bugs | 10:58 |
| _bradk | aight, let me try to find my usb | 10:59 |
| _bradk | and fire it up for a little bit | 10:59 |
| deadrom | jeremy31, no such file or dir | 11:01 |
| deadrom | jeremy31, no wait... | 11:02 |
| _bradk | quadrathoch2: alright i'm on the live cd now | 11:03 |
| quadrathoch2 | 20.04 or 19.10? _bradk | 11:03 |
| _bradk | 20.04 | 11:03 |
| quadrathoch2 | k | 11:03 |
| _bradk | wait | 11:03 |
| _bradk | how do i confirm again in ubuntu? | 11:04 |
| _bradk | (i usually use centos) | 11:04 |
| quadrathoch2 | what do you mean by confirm? | 11:04 |
| _bradk | ignore me, wrong window | 11:04 |
| _bradk | yep, definitely on 20.04 | 11:05 |
| _bradk | out of interest, what does this test validate? | 11:05 |
| deadrom | jeremy31, wifi.powersave = 3 | 11:06 |
| quadrathoch2 | welp, I thought you would have another distro at the ready xD | 11:06 |
| deadrom | cant pastebin without a connection | 11:06 |
| jeremy31 | deadrom: run> sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf | 11:06 |
| quadrathoch2 | on the other hand you can still see if the install is borked or not _bradk | 11:06 |
| jeremy31 | deadrom: after running thay command, reboot or run> systemctl restart network-manager.service | 11:09 |
| _bradk | quadrathoch2: i've got 19.10 on this usb too | 11:11 |
| _bradk | so i could boot to that | 11:11 |
| _bradk | haven't dropped a packet yet (just pinging cloudflare dns servers) | 11:11 |
| quadrathoch2 | hm which could mean that the install is somehow borked. did you already customize it to your liking? (maybe there was something that borked the network settings) | 11:12 |
| _bradk | all i really did was change terminal font, install putty (seeing | 11:13 |
| deadrom | jeremy31, nope, still no ipv4. router has been checked | 11:13 |
| _bradk | ahhh there we go | 11:13 |
| _bradk | it dropped | 11:13 |
| quadrathoch2 | hm | 11:13 |
| _bradk | so it'sa problem on 20.04 live-cd too | 11:13 |
| jeremy31 | deadrom: Is Network Manager set on auto under IPv4 settings? | 11:14 |
| quadrathoch2 | did you also test to ping your own devices (like router?) as it could also be that cloudflare just denies your ping, as you are hammering them (that's called a ddos attack (at least on a small scale) | 11:14 |
| quadrathoch2 | _bradk :) | 11:14 |
| _bradk | quadrathoch2: it's not a cloudflare problem, i have a telegraf ping test pushing icmp metrics in to an influxdb database and graphing it with grafana, i don't lose any packets there | 11:16 |
| _bradk | and when this reported icmp issues | 11:16 |
| _bradk | i lost connectivity to my linux server which is where this irc shell is running from | 11:16 |
| _bradk | so yeah, i lose full connectivity | 11:16 |
| quadrathoch2 | _bradk, kk, just wanted to make sure | 11:16 |
| _bradk | yeah, definitely :) | 11:17 |
| deadrom | jeremy31, in the gui? | 11:17 |
| jeremy31 | deadrom: yes | 11:17 |
| quadrathoch2 | _bradk, the weird part is, you are the first who complains about that on a t420 :/ | 11:18 |
| deadrom | jeremy31, should mention it's a straight 20.04 install, fresh from the iso, no defautls changed | 11:18 |
| deadrom | _bradk, i got wifi issues on a t530 right now, related? | 11:18 |
| jeremy31 | deadrom: I had no issues with networking on my 20.04 install, even wifi worked | 11:19 |
| _bradk | maybe | 11:19 |
| _bradk | i was on a microsoft teams call earlier and it dropped out about 5 times in a 20 minute call | 11:20 |
| deadrom | _bradk could you tell me the device string of the wifi adapter from lspci? | 11:21 |

| lorenx | hello, i'm on ubuntu 20.04 and i'm trying to replace nautilus with nemo to handle desktop icons. i run this: https://pastebin.com/raw/tkV53g85, but i ended up seeing duplicated icons (and i cannot interact with the nautilus ones). it seems that `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false` has no effect at all, any suggestion? thank you | 12:11 |
| quadrathoch2 | corshmock, it should offer you an option to install it alongside | 12:11 |
| quadrathoch2 | you just need enough disk space | 12:11 |
| ioria | lorenx, probably nemo and nautilus are both running ? | 12:13 |

| lorenx | ioria, nautilus is not running, i cannot find it with `ps` | 12:15 |
| ioria | lorenx, something changed lately; on 18.04 you can see nautilus-desktop running all the time, but iirc, not on later releases | 12:16 |
| ioria | lorenx, but id doeas not mean that it's not running | 12:17 |
| ioria | lorenx, is nemo-desktop running instead ? | 12:17 |
| lorenx | ioria, `killall nautilus` does nothing, if that's what you mean | 12:17 |

| brainwash | please read the linked report | 12:17 |
| lorenx | ioria, yes, nemo-desktop is | 12:17 |
| lorenx | brainwash, i'm readin it yeah, thanks | 12:17 |
| brainwash | desktop icons are handled by a gnome shell extension now | 12:18 |

| lorenx | sudo dpkg -r --force-depends gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons && sudo apt-mark hold gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons | 12:25 |

| lorenx | ioria, it's ok lol... have you any suggestion to check it further? | 12:38 |
| brainwash | ioria: the report actually has the solution | 12:38 |
| ioria | brainwash, what is ? | 12:39 |
| brainwash | "The desktop icons are part of the Ubuntu session, that's why it's can't be turned off (same as the dock and appindicator), if you want a session without those you can install gnome-session and log into a GNOME session" | 12:39 |
| brainwash | answer from a Ubuntu dev | 12:39 |
| ioria | change de, ok i see thanks brainwash | 12:39 |
| lorenx | brainwash, this command makes no sense then: `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false` | 12:40 |
| brainwash | it may be simply outdated | 12:41 |
| lorenx | it's almost 2 years it's outdated, since 19.04, lol | 12:42 |
| brainwash | who claims that the command should still work? | 12:42 |
| lorenx | it's in the settings, in dconf | 12:42 |
| kapil_ | how to install packages to latest version? | 12:42 |
| ioria | lorenx, can you paste a screenshot of the duplicated icons , please ? | 12:43 |
| lorenx | https://i.imgur.com/9jy8E5C.png | 12:44 |

| brainwash | lorenx: maybe it's a leftover | 12:45 |
| lorenx | maybe someone should remove it lol | 12:46 |
| lorenx | anyway, do we know who starts nautilus? | 12:46 |
| ioria | lorenx, anything of interest in : gsettings list-recursively | grep shell.extensions.desktop-icons | 12:47 |
| brainwash | nautilus? | 12:47 |
| brainwash | didn't we establish that the desktop icons are rendered by a gnome shell extension? | 12:47 |
| lorenx | https://i.imgur.com/s3OtX8C.png | 12:47 |
| lorenx | brainwash, ioria thought the problem was nautilus still running though | 12:48 |
| brainwash | you removed the extension, did a relog and (duplicated) desktop icons were gone | 12:49 |
| lorenx | brainwash, yeah, it seems so actually... but i had to restore it... it was just to try another way, i'm stuck here | 12:50 |
| ioria | lorenx, can you paste apt -s remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons | 12:50 |
| lorenx | https://i.imgur.com/6nN7fi6.png | 12:51 |
| brainwash | the thing is that desktop icons are mandatory for the Ubuntu session | 12:51 |
| brainwash | but apparently not for the default GNOME session | 12:51 |
| lorenx | brainwash, they removed the ability to handle desktop icons but they are mandatory? funny | 12:52 |
| brainwash | no... | 12:52 |
| lorenx | maybe i'll try to install gnome-session then | 12:52 |
| ioria | lorenx, no, you can't remove it, sy | 12:52 |
| lorenx | ioria, i saw lol | 12:53 |
| brainwash | GNOME removed the ability from Nautilus, and it was moved to a gnome shell extension | 12:53 |
| brainwash | this extension seems to be optional for the GNOME session, but not for Ubuntu session | 12:53 |
| ioria | lorenx, well, that's not correct, because it stops you from using another file-manager | 12:53 |
| kapil_ | hello please suggest good guide to install gui | 12:53 |
| kapil_ | on ubuntu 20 | 12:54 |
| lorenx | brainwash, but it's since 19.04 that we don't have the ability to drag&drop desktop icons anymore | 12:54 |
| brainwash | how is that of relevance? | 12:54 |
| brainwash | either use the GNOME session or forcefully remove the gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package (or it's installed files) | 12:55 |
| corshmock | Come on 1267 people in the Ubuntu room, and no one can help me with an Ubuntu dual boot? | 12:55 |
| lorenx | well, i can't talk for other, but i use drag and drop all the time... and it sucks you cannot anymore, without even a workaround... we are on linux, we should be able to do it | 12:55 |
| lotuspsychje | corshmock: best to re-ask your issue once in a while, new volunteers join etc | 12:56 |
| quadrathoch2 | corshmock, sorry was afk, it shouldn't matter | 12:56 |
| ioria | lorenx, i'am sure there's a way to do that ; not handy maybe | 12:56 |
| kapil_ | nobody answers my basic question on this channel | 12:56 |
| quadrathoch2 | as long as you have enough space, ubuntu will shrink the partition | 12:56 |
| lorenx | ioria, that's what i'm trying to find | 12:56 |
| corshmock | lotuspsychje: quadrathoch2 thanks guys. | 12:56 |
| brainwash | lorenx: ah, so you are talking about the desktop icons extension being limited in its functionality | 12:56 |
| lorenx | brainwash, it it was fully functional, i wouldn't be here lol | 12:56 |
| cyveris | kapil_: A guide isn't really necessary if you follow the instructions and guidance provided in the installer. Additionally, there's a lot of resources available (tutorials, how to guides, etc.) on the internet. | 12:57 |
| kapil_ | cyveris, oh thanks | 12:57 |
| brainwash | lorenx: but now you know how to replace the extension with an app that offers full functionality | 12:57 |
| lorenx | brainwash, do i know? lol | 12:58 |
| lorenx | i can use nemo yeah... but having duplicated icons on the desktop is not that lovely | 12:58 |
| brainwash | if you don't, then I have wasted my time | 12:58 |
| lorenx | brainwash, do you mean gnome-session? | 12:59 |
| brainwash | >either use the GNOME session or forcefully remove the gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package (or it's installed files) | 12:59 |
| brainwash | alternatively, use MATE, Xfce, or whatever | 12:59 |

| lorenx | brainwash, i mean the default ubuntu gui with the dock on the left... i used to call it unity but i'm not sure is that's still the correct name | 13:10 |
| brainwash | ah okay | 13:11 |
| lorenx | what's its name? | 13:11 |

| brainwash | dash to dock | 13:13 |
| brainwash | https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/ | 13:13 |
| cyveris | gnome-shell is not a different version of gnome. | 13:13 |
| cyveris | gnome3 is the default desktop for Ubuntu's desktop release. | 13:14 |
| lorenx | they made kinda a mess in the last years about it anyway | 13:14 |
| quadrathoch2 | which mess? i mean the only version that is supported is gnome3 | 13:15 |
| cyveris | Indeed. | 13:15 |
| lorenx | ubuntu used gnome2, then they introduced unity... then they approached gnome3, then modified versions of gnome... the ubuntu DE history is not that linear | 13:16 |
| lorenx | anyway, that's out of the topic lol | 13:17 |
| quadrathoch2 | so just because ubuntu used gnome2 in the past they need to still use it nowadays oO | 13:17 |
| lorenx | quadrathoch2, i'm pretty sure i didn't say so lol | 13:17 |
| cyveris | Ubuntu uses gnome3, if you want something else, check out one of the supported derivatives. :) And on we go. | 13:18 |
| quadrathoch2 | well because every single time you bring up gnome2 ... | 13:18 |
| lorenx | cyveris, ubuntu does not use the standard version of gnome3, it's modified (i guess?) | 13:19 |
| cyveris | While Ubuntu may have added some customizations, it is gnome3. | 13:19 |
| lorenx | well, it's not possible to drag&drop icons into apps with the ubuntu-modified-gnome3 desktop environment then lol | 13:22 |

| ioria | lorenx, as i said i'am sure there's a way to do it | 13:38 |
| lorenx | ioria, well, it's since 19.04 that it's like that... but i've just found the ugliest workaround ever for now, let's see in the future, thanks ;) | 13:40 |

| WanderingWizardP | Am I still able to add "elevator=noop" to my kernel parameters to change my I/O scheduler to it? | 13:49 |

| wiemk42 | Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20.04 over the network automatically (with Foreman). I have followed https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/netbooting-the-live-server-installer/14510 for this, (except that `/srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default` is created using a Foreman PXELinux template). This works. The focal-live ISO is downloaded over the network in | 13:51 |
| wiemk42 | initramfs, then mounted and started. However, I now have the problem that the new autoinstall config seems to be ignored when the PXE loader specifies `autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=<URL-to-user-data-folder>` as kernel parmeter as shown at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/QuickStart point 6. The system starts with the | 13:51 |
| wiemk42 | usual systemd-messages but then `cloud-init: Cloud init v. 20.1-10-g71af48df-0ubuntu5 running 'init-local' at <timestamp>` shows up and execution is held until the network is ready (which I think is because the confguration was not loaded). After a long time the ISO starts again but this time the manual installation overview is shown.Could someone | 13:51 |
| wiemk42 | explain to me how I have to provide the configuration file on a network boot or how I have to specify it as a kernel parameter? | 13:52 |
| v0lksman | what is the best Ubuntu channel to discuss packages and repos? Specifically I'm trying to figure out what is checked/matched in order to determine if a new Release file should be grabbed when apt update is run | 13:53 |

| ubottu | v0lksman: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! | 13:56 |
| v0lksman | If a repo originally shipped an InRelease file and then switched to shipping Release files, is there something that needs to be setup on the repo to point to the updated Release file so clients know to change their cached lists? | 14:05 |
| WanderingWizardP | Well, I managed to change my scheduler to noop in the scheduler file, so far it has eliminated the small stutters I had from time to time while torrenting (writing to the disk)... | 14:12 |
| WanderingWizardP | Hopefully it'll last :) | 14:12 |

| ioria | lorenx, well, i'am confused; on my 20.04 (an upgrade from 19.10) nemo it works without issues; i can remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons without problems , keep gnome-shell as de and no duplicated icons. | 14:44 |
| lorenx | ioria, omg, what??? lol | 14:44 |
| ioria | lorenx, i'am still investigating | 14:45 |
| dziadu | Andrio: apt install python-is-python3 | 14:45 |
| dziadu | This is correct solution | 14:45 |
| dziadu | for me | 14:46 |
| lorenx | you saw my `apt purge gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons` output right? it would remove both buntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop-minimal | 14:46 |
| Andrio | Ah~ | 14:46 |
| ioria | lorenx, yep | 14:46 |

| lorenx | ioria, check mines please | 14:50 |
| ioria | lorenx, the same | 14:51 |
| lorenx | cool lol | 14:51 |
| lorenx | and you don't see duplicated icons? | 14:52 |
| ioria | nope lorenx 'xdg-mime query default inode/directory' what returns ? | 14:52 |
| lorenx | nemo.desktop | 14:53 |
| lorenx | i actually tried on a 19.10 too, and i got duplicated icons there as well | 14:53 |
| lorenx | and it's weird that `apt -s remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons` gives you a different output | 14:55 |
| ioria | lorenx, it just remove the ubuntu-desktop meta-package | 14:55 |
| ioria | *s | 14:55 |
| lorenx | but then, `apt autoremove` will remove a lot | 14:56 |
| ioria | nope | 14:57 |

| lotuspsychje | deadrom: try to bypass the integrity with ctrl+C | 15:06 |
| quadrathoch2 | lorenx, you realize that these packages should not be removed, as it would remove the gui: ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop-minimal so still not really great for you | 15:06 |
| lotuspsychje | deadrom: you sure this is not a beta iso you grabbed right? | 15:07 |
| deadrom | lotuspsychje, no response | 15:07 |
| lorenx | yeah, that's true as well... but i still wonder why i get a different output | 15:07 |
| lotuspsychje | deadrom: at a more early stage, when you see the xubuntu logo, press F1 and skip the test at the beginning | 15:07 |
| deadrom | lotuspsychje, went to xubuntu.org, downloads, downloaded the most prominent one | 15:08 |
| lotuspsychje | ok | 15:08 |
| deadrom | lotuspsychje, oh after a minute or so it skipped the test | 15:08 |
| lotuspsychje | deadrom: ok tnx for the report | 15:13 |
| v0lksman | when apt update is called and the Release file it is looking for is returned as a 200 response but empty does apt assume that the file is under maintenance or that the error is temporary and just hold on to the existing cached list it has for that repo? | 15:16 |

| Gosset | support until MD Catalyst™ 15.9 Proprietary Ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 Video Driver for Graphics Accelerators | 18:04 |
| Gosset | 14.10 onwaragas onward, no support | 18:05 |

| Gosset | I tried Ubuntu Mate | 18:06 |
| Gosset | with the same luck | 18:06 |
| Gosset | thank you anyway | 18:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Gosset: wich version of mate? | 18:06 |
| Gosset | I think I can handle with UB 14 | 18:06 |
| Gosset | versions 18 and 20 | 18:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Gosset: try lubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 | 18:06 |
| Gosset | it's just for ocasional sessions this PC | 18:07 |
| lotuspsychje | browsing the web on an eol version is not good Gosset | 18:07 |

| CrazySam | How do you stop windows in Gnome from following you around as you move the dialog boxes? | 18:21 |
| quadrathoch2 | CrazySam, do you have gnome tweaks installed? | 18:21 |
| Gosset | thanks for your responses, good bye | 18:21 |
| CrazySam | quadrathoch2: no | 18:21 |
| quadrathoch2 | in there you can change it, in the windows category, called atach modal dialogs | 18:23 |
| CrazySam | quadrathoch2: no chance of doing it without this tool? | 18:24 |
| Joel | ubuntu 20 lts, kde/plasma, I have a VPN connection that works great, but the gui provides no method to save username/password, am I missing a package that enables this behavior? I see a checkbox in various screenshots. | 18:25 |
| quadrathoch2 | CrazySam, there is theoretically dconf-editor, but that is way harder | 18:26 |
| lorenx | CrazySam: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter attach-modal-dialogs false | 18:28 |
| CrazySam | quadrathoch2: ok, I will have a look at gnome tweaks then. I prefer easier. | 18:29 |
| CrazySam | lorenx: no such key | 18:29 |
| quadrathoch2 | CrazySam, just type the command in what lorenx wrote | 18:29 |
| quadrathoch2 | weird it should be there | 18:29 |
| quadrathoch2 | just tested it | 18:29 |
| lorenx | me too tested and applied cause it was super annoying | 18:30 |
| lorenx | there's this too actually: gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides attach-modal-dialogs false | 18:30 |
| lorenx | but it seems the other worked already | 18:30 |
| lorenx | CrazySam, what's the output of: gsettings list-recursively | grep attach | 18:31 |
| CrazySam | lorenx: org.gnome.shell.overrides attach-modal-dialogs true | 18:33 |
| lorenx | what version of ubuntu are you using? | 18:33 |
| CrazySam | lorenx: org.gnome.mutter attach-modal-dialogs true | 18:33 |
| lorenx | that's it | 18:33 |
| lorenx | are you sureyou typed the command correctly? | 18:33 |
| lorenx | the key is there | 18:34 |
| CrazySam | Sorry! My bad. | 18:34 |

| tomreyn | !mint | metalgear | 18:47 |
| ubottu | metalgear: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) | 18:47 |
| GWM | I have a bunch of variants but this one works fine; //HOSTNAME/ /media/smbshare-HOST/ cifs username=*,password=*,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,users 0 0 | 18:48 |
| Mordoc | metalgear: The gang over linuxmint-help are quite good and Hexchat in Mint will connect there by default. | 18:49 |
| GWM | and no, adding two trailing backslashes doesn't do the trick :( | 18:49 |
| metalgear | how am i gonna aske them if i have no internet on linux mint with hexchat | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | GWM: smb version issues maybe? | 18:51 |
| GWM | Hmmm there was a newer smbclient package available, haven't updated this laptp for a while, gonna reboot and try that | 18:51 |
| GWM | tomreyn, smbclient does smb3 w/o issues AFAIK? | 18:51 |

| leftyfb | metalgear: OK, read the rest of the message you got | 18:54 |
| lorenx | ioria, i did it many times already lol | 18:55 |
| lorenx | ioria, maybe i'll try again with a fresh install | 18:55 |
| ioria | lorenx, and do you have duplicate folders when nautilus is in use ? | 18:55 |
| GWM | using -W instead of DOMAIN\\USER didn't help either | 18:55 |
| grawity | the -L option actually takes the server name as a parameter | 18:56 |
| CrazySam | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 18:56 |
| CrazySam | Is this page up to date? | 18:56 |
| grawity | so right now you're specifying "-U" as the server name and "DOMAIN\\USER" as the share to connect to | 18:56 |
| ioria | CrazySam, last edited 2018-05-30 21:34:20 | 18:56 |
| rehan | hi | 18:56 |
| CrazySam | ioria: is it good for 18.10 then? Looking to upgrade. | 18:57 |
| GWM | Well, removing -L didn't really help and I'm going through the book "How Linux Works What Every Superuser Should Know 2nd Edition", not saying the book is wrong | 18:57 |
| GWM | isn't wrong* | 18:58 |
| ioria | CrazySam, try it ; but there are '2' EOL releases in the middle ; it might not work | 18:58 |
| FrankyGov | I am using ls -l to gather information about a file which is located under /usr/bin/ | 19:03 |
| FrankyGov | and I get as result a link to this folder one level above | 19:03 |
| FrankyGov | /usr/bin/gns3 -> ../share/gns3/gns3-gui/bin/gns3 | 19:03 |
| CrazySam | What am I supposed to do with sources.list ? | 19:04 |
| CrazySam | "To begin the upgrade, make sure you have a sources.list like the following, with CODENAME being your release, e.g. quantal." | 19:05 |
| CrazySam | deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse | 19:05 |
| Assid | heya.. | 19:05 |
| GWM | @grawity, You were right in the end, had some other issues | 19:06 |
| GWM | Guess you can | 19:06 |
| CrazySam | I don't have a line like that. Should I put it in? | 19:06 |
| GWM | can't trust all books fully, learn something by fixing it | 19:06 |
| tomreyn | CrazySam: you should edit all those existing *archive.ubuntu.com URLs to point to old.releases.ubuntu.com instead | 19:07 |
| tomreyn | CrazySam: CODENAME should already be there. the correct CODENAME can be queried using lsb_release -cs | 19:08 |
| GWM | How smbclient supports smb v1 and doesn't auto-negotiate away from it if possible boggles the mind but ok it's working | 19:08 |
| tomreyn | next protocol version support usually requires upgrade support within the prrotocol itself. | 19:09 |
| Assid | anyone managed to get iptables with geoip workng ? | 19:10 |
| tomreyn | i bet SMBv1 didnt have that | 19:10 |
| lorenx | ioria: no, when only nautilus is in use, no duplication | 19:10 |
| GWM | True, but it could retry on smbv2/3 as a client | 19:10 |
| grawity | tomreyn: it did – there are like 6-7 different dialects collectively known as "SMBv1" | 19:10 |
| Assid | xt_geoip_build seems to be outdated | 19:10 |
| GWM | it isn't like SMB isn't a known fickle beast | 19:10 |
| GWM | python -m SimpleHTTPServer is awesome though | 19:10 |
| grawity | and it does simply include "SMB2.000" or something such as a supported dialect name | 19:11 |
| GWM | books are great | 19:11 |
| CrazySam | How do I edit? Nano? | 19:11 |
| CrazySam | There are so many lines. | 19:11 |
| tomreyn | CrazySam: whichever text editor works for you | 19:11 |
| tomreyn | you only need to take care of the lines which *don't* start with a # | 19:12 |
| tomreyn | grawity: i'm impressed that anyone knows so much about smb here. ;-) | 19:12 |
| ioria | lorenx, remove any trace of nemo (purge and remove .config/autostart/nemo.desktop (or such) ) | 19:12 |

| bittyx | Hi! I want to install 20.04 on my laptop which is currently running 16.04, and I favor an "install from scratch" approach. I've always set up a separate partition for the "/home" mount point in the hopes of not having to format it when reinstalling, and understand it can work in theory, however, that would still probably leave a bunch of old useless stuff in places like `~/.config`, `~/.local`, etc. So normally I'd just backup what I need elsewhere, | 19:14 |
| bittyx | format everything and install, and then copy stuff back. Is there a good reliable way to avoid that though? | 19:14 |
| lorenx | ioria, i guess it's enough for today, i'll try with a clean install ine of these days... and i'll let you know ;) | 19:14 |
| lorenx | thank you all for today | 19:14 |
| ioria | lorenx, ok | 19:15 |
| bittyx | Would it be possible during installation to keep my home partition, however (assuming the same username), move the current /home/username to a subfolder of the new /home/username (e.g. /home/username/old-home) - hope that's not too confusing. My goal would be that on the new system, /home/username/.config only has the stuff from the fresh install, and my old configurations are in e.g. /home/username/old-home/.config - so I can manually move back | 19:17 |
| bittyx | whatever I might need, and then just delete /home/user/old-home afterwards. | 19:17 |
| CrazySam | ioria: thanks! I'm downloading some packages now. I can ignore the warning about disabled repositories? | 19:17 |
| ioria | CrazySam, ppain use ? | 19:18 |
| bittyx | Actually my primary goal is just to avoid having to manually backup stuff elsewhere during the reinstall. | 19:18 |
| CrazySam | ioria: I don't know what that is. So I guess no? | 19:23 |
| GWM | Has Canonial expressed any comments on /usr merge? | 19:23 |
| ioria | CrazySam, can you paste those 'disabled repositories' thing ? | 19:23 |
| quadrathoch2 | bittyx, yes. but you would need to take the manual partition part into account. mount /home on the live usb, rename your old username folder and then in the partition part tell the partitioner that you want that as /home without formating | 19:24 |
| vitalio | bittyx: experince tells that anyway you'll end up doing backup so you can reformat home anyway if it's your personal PC | 19:26 |
| vitalio | bittyx: perso I tried this from 19.10 to 20.04 worked, but gnome-shell crashed after install so reinstalled everything anyway | 19:27 |
| shutupfry | hello, I'm having trouble with nfs docker volumes not connecting at boot. /var/log/syslog shows "network is unreachable" for the docker containers with nfs volumes. I've checked the docker.service file and it already contains an after for network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service. If I ssh in and restart the containers, everything | 19:28 |
| shutupfry | comes up fine. Any suggestions? | 19:28 |
| quadrathoch2 | how does your fstab look like shutupfry | 19:28 |
| tomreyn | shutupfry: and which ubuntu version are you running there? | 19:29 |
| CrazySam | ioria: https://dpaste.org/rdnC/raw | 19:29 |
| shutupfry | ubuntu 18.04 on a Pi4. They are docker nfs volumes, not fstab entries | 19:30 |
| ioria | CrazySam, no man, you have to replace it not to append | 19:30 |
| tomreyn | bittyx: note that you wouldn't benefit from (potential, haven't checked) file system formatting or mounting options in case things changed since then. | 19:30 |
| ioria | CrazySam, backup you actual sources.list and repalce with what i pasted | 19:31 |
| CrazySam | OK | 19:31 |

| deadrom | hi | 19:35 |
| bittyx | Thanks all, yeah it's a personal laptop, and since I'll backup just in case, and in all likelihood will need to either reformat or spend a bunch of time fiddling with everything, I'll just do it immediately and save some time. | 19:35 |

| bittyx | Second question, my laptop is a ThinkPad P50 with an Intel 8260 network card. I have two separate wireless networks at home, and both work fine with 16.04. However with a 20.04 Live USB, I can connect to one just fine, but can't connect to the other one - I always get a "bad password" error prompting me to retype the password, which is definitely correct (I've checked using a different device). Seems similar to several unanswered Ask Ubuntu | 19:38 |
| bittyx | questions, e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1230922/ubuntu-20-04-lts-intel-7260-wireless-wont-connect-to-wifi-network - does anyone have an idea what could be the issue? | 19:38 |
| bittyx | Both routers' encryptions are configured as "WPA & WPA2 Personal", and it's the same for both SSIDs on the laptop - but for some reason one is unable to authenticate. | 19:40 |
| CrazySam | ioria: I only have your 4 lines now, and I made a backup. | 19:41 |
| ioria | CrazySam, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 19:41 |
| shutupfry | tomreyn and quadrathoch2 any suggestions? | 19:42 |
| CrazySam | https://dpaste.org/RoXO/raw | 19:43 |
| quadrathoch2 | shutupfry, so you have the nfs share on the host? | 19:43 |
| CrazySam | I tried these also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#SpecificOlder | 19:43 |

| shutupfry | quadrathoch2, the nfs share is on another system on the network that has remained up through all my testing | 19:44 |
| ioria | CrazySam, as i said ; 2 reol releases in the middle ; are you sure you don't want a fresh install ? | 19:44 |
| oerheks | deadrom, yes | 19:44 |
| quadrathoch2 | still asking, if you mount the share on the host or the docker container? | 19:44 |
| shutupfry | the nfs mounts are all docker volumes | 19:45 |
| shutupfry | not host mounts | 19:45 |
| CrazySam | ioria: I didn't get that. What do you mean? Is it not possible to upgrade? | 19:45 |

| quadrathoch2 | as I am dabbling right now in the dark | 19:46 |
| shutupfry | not when the issue is dockerd is starting before the network is ready at boot | 19:47 |

| shutupfry | sorry, I got disconnected right after I posted the link | 19:54 |
| quadrathoch2 | np, so i assume you didn't change anything in the file. so did you install docker through the repo or through the official one? | 19:56 |
| quadrathoch2 | because i installed docker through the normal repo and everything is working on a pi3 | 19:56 |
| shutupfry | no changes to the file, it's whatever came with docker.io? I didn't add any external repos. It's from the ubuntu repo | 19:56 |
| quadrathoch2 | kk so the ubuntu repo :) | 19:57 |
| quadrathoch2 | weird | 19:57 |
| shutupfry | yes. for what it's worth I can't get an fstab nfs share to mount at boot either no matter what I try | 19:58 |
| quadrathoch2 | the only thing that you should maybe add to the service is that nfs should be up before starting docker? shutupfry | 19:58 |
| quadrathoch2 | i can't remember how it worked in ubuntu, but in debian you need to change the /etc/network/interfaces file | 19:58 |
| quadrathoch2 | shutupfry, sadly ubuntu handles network differently ( in debian, debian assumes that the networkcard is hotpluggable, which interferes with _netdev) | 20:00 |

| quadrathoch2 | shutupfry, just to update you, fired up a vm to test it out ;) | 20:23 |

| nichlas | can someone tip me on what I need to install on Ubuntu 20.04 to browse SMB shares. The file manager simply displays "Failed to get share list: Software caused connection to abort" when I try to access a share using the "Connect to Server" field. | 20:26 |
| Deano59 | before I disconnect! my ethernet connection keeps going down. what can I do to diagnose it? | 20:30 |
| Deano59 | I can ping the IP of my android phone. | 20:30 |
| quadrathoch2 | shutupfry, so I just tested it out on the vm and it is working fine, without issues :/ | 20:33 |
| shutupfry | ug. ok thanks | 20:33 |
| shutupfry | maybe there's something odd about the Pi? | 20:33 |
| quadrathoch2 | even when I mount the nfs share on the host | 20:33 |
| quadrathoch2 | honestly with something this basic, (as in starting at boottime) i don't think so | 20:34 |
| shutupfry | not like wrong with it, just different from a pi vs a full pc | 20:34 |
| shutupfry | well, thanks | 20:34 |

| johnjay | any way to force ubuntu to default to my tv for sound? | 20:43 |
| johnjay | it was tolerable on 18.04 but now it seems to be actively switching my audio to line in or something | 20:44 |
| johnjay | ok there's a line in /etc/pulse/default.pa about switch-on-connect. disabling that might work | 20:49 |

| nagyg | does anyone have a working global protect vpn solution for Ubuntu (20.04)? | 20:53 |
| nagyg | it seems that GP supports only 18.04 | 20:54 |
| nagyg | they have a GUI that will not start / display in 20.04 | 20:54 |
| tomreyn | this sounds like proprietary third party software - talk to those where you got it from | 20:56 |
| nagyg | tomreyn - good idea, if only they could help :) | 20:58 |
| oerheks | 20.04 .. vpn .. wireguard? | 20:58 |
| kostkon | nagyg, simplest thing you could try is to run it from the terminal, see if you'll get any error messages, inform the provider of the software about those etc | 20:58 |
| nagyg | I managed to get openconnect with --protocol=gp working as well, strange thing is that it says the vpn is connected and I can ping a host (20% packet loss) but I cannot access the wiki hosted on it (port 80) | 21:00 |
| sarnold | ouch | 21:00 |
| sarnold | 20% packetloss is basically useless | 21:00 |
| sarnold | tcp is cranky at 2-3% packetloss.. | 21:00 |
| nagyg | I retested the ping and now it is 100% for a longer period of time | 21:01 |
| nagyg | interesting | 21:01 |
| Ben64 | certain places might stop responding to pings after a while | 21:02 |
| deadrom | I just did a fresh install of 18.04LTS and noticed it preferably installed hwe packages. are the "old", regular packages not supported anymore? | 21:03 |
| sarnold | deadrom: they are still supported; iirc the server installer will offer the option of using hwe or original, and the desktop installer will prefer the hwe packages | 21:04 |
| deadrom | sarnold: I see | 21:04 |
| Mercury | I'm running the straight gnome desktop, and on 19.10 with Xorg when I got a notification from either thunderbird or pidgin it would get automatically dismissed when I brought the application in question into focus. Since upgrading to 20.04 (and switching to gnome on wayland just to confuse matters), that automatic dismissal has stopped working. I don't suppose anyone knows why? | 21:05 |
| nagyg | if I access a server behind VPN with pinging but I cannot access its port 80, how can I test what causes the problem? is it because of the VPN settings or is my vpn client shit? that's what I would like to identify | 21:07 |
| nagyg | kostkon, I tried running the GUI from the terminal and it just hangs forever ... or at least it seems so, unfortunately their cli interface does not support saml auth | 21:08 |

| gonutsfordonuts | hey, every now and again something goes really wrong with my local DNS cache and i cant access some sites. the only way to fix it is to flush the DNS cache | 21:25 |
| gonutsfordonuts | is there anything i can do to fix it? | 21:25 |
| sarnold | is it the same sites every time? maybe their admins just don't know how dns works | 21:25 |

| sazawal | Hi all. I am doing ssh from my ubuntu to windows 7 pc. It was working fine with password authentication. But I changed the wifi network once and it stopped working, and now it doesn't work with the old wifi network either. I am getting an error message of "Connection to 192.168.1.x closed". With -vvv option I am getting debug1: Exit status -1073741819. Can anyone help me troubleshoot it? | 21:45 |
| Siecje | sazawal: How do you SSH into Windows? Are you running the Linux subshell? | 21:45 |
| sazawal | Siecje, I have installed openssh on windows, and from my linux terminal I run ssh command. | 21:46 |
| Siecje | sazawal: Have you removed the linux computer from the known_hosts of the destination computer? | 21:46 |
| sarnold | sazawal: can you pastebin the *entire* log? that feels like it's not the actual error | 21:46 |
| sazawal | Siecje, Yes I did, because I got the error once, not sure how to fix it now | 21:47 |
| sazawal | sarnold, log of -vvv? | 21:47 |
| sarnold | sazawal: yeah | 21:47 |
| johnjay | sigh | 21:48 |
| johnjay | apparently that doesn't do it | 21:48 |
| johnjay | it still goes to line audio in whenever lock screen is engaged | 21:48 |
| johnjay | can i disable everything except my hdmi tv so PA is forced to use it? | 21:48 |

| Goop | What is the best network socket library for C++ for servers? | 22:03 |
| Sven_vB | Goop, what shall that lib do for you? are you even sure about using C++ for that server? | 22:04 |
| Sven_vB | Goop, also we should probably move that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 22:04 |
| sarnold | sazawal: oh strange; it looks like it went all the way to creating a shell session in a terminal for you | 22:05 |
| Goop | Sven_vB, C++ is fast. I want to use C++. | 22:05 |
| sarnold | Goop: a pal put this together, it looked nice and simple https://github.com/ahupowerdns/simplesocket/blob/master/README.md | 22:06 |
| sazawal | sarnold, I guess it was a shell session when I was doing ssh. I had access to the windows cmd from my linux on successful connection. | 22:06 |
| Goop | sarnold, thanks! | 22:06 |
| sarnold | sazawal: does windows still have a windows event viewer? does it show you things in real time? | 22:06 |
| sarnold | sazawal: I'm hoping it has some logs of *some* sort over there that can help.. | 22:07 |
| Siecje | I have installed docker using snap. How do I start the docker daemon? | 22:08 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Yes I just found the Event Viewer in windows. Let me see where are the ssh logs. Do you have an idea? | 22:08 |
| sarnold | sazawal: heh, no, sorry, when I left windows, it was barely on the internet :) heh | 22:09 |
| sarnold | Siecje: you may have more luck in #snapcraft | 22:10 |
| sazawal | sarnold, I found the log of last login, see here https://dpaste.org/GBAS | 22:11 |
| sazawal | I am afraid it doesn't say much | 22:11 |
| sarnold | heh, yeah | 22:11 |
| sarnold | sazawal: does that ssh server have logs itself? | 22:12 |
| sazawal | sarnold, hmm, not at the root of C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\ | 22:13 |
| sazawal | maybe I should try restarting the windows system | 22:13 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Do you know if I can reset the ssh, I mean renew all the keys in the host and client system. | 22:15 |
| sarnold | sazawal: the thing is, the keys all looked like they checked out fine, auth succeeded, etc | 22:16 |
| CrazySam | genii: so everyone with EOL release needs to do a clean install? | 22:17 |
| sarnold | sazawal: can you ssh from thast windows machine to that windows machine? | 22:17 |
| CrazySam | There is no upgrade path? | 22:17 |
| sazawal | sarnold, You mean from windows machine to linux machine? | 22:17 |
| sarnold | sazawal: no, entirely on the windows machine, take the linux machine out of the equation :) | 22:17 |
| sazawal | I see, let me try | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | CrazySam: you can upgrade a EOL release | 22:18 |
| sarnold | CrazySam: there's some guidelines on how to upgrade from eol releases here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 22:18 |
| CrazySam | I see it's "clearly not advisable" as ioria puts it, to "jump to 19.10". Not sure why... | 22:18 |
| genii | CrazySam: Everyone who fails to upgrade to the next release before that one also ALSO is EOL | 22:18 |
| genii | -also | 22:18 |
| CrazySam | genii: You mean if you fail to upgrade Cosmic to Disco before Eoan is released will have no upgrade path? | 22:20 |
| Siecje | On 20.04 why do I see INFO Updating GRUB menu everytime I install something? | 22:21 |
| CrazySam | sebsebseb: I was reading that earlier today, but I failed to upgrade. Cosmic is too old even for that article. | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | CrazySam: you can upgrade through eol releases | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | I think | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | CrazySam: one to the next eol, to a supported | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | !cosmic | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) was the 29th release of Ubuntu. Support ended July 18th, 2019. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2019-July/004996.html | 22:22 |
| genii | CrazySam: Not before Eoan is released. Before Disoc it self also stops being supported and is archived in old-release, like Cosmic was when it reached it's end before it. | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | CrazySam: but that would be a lot of upgrading from 18.10 | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | easier and cleaner to clean install | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | with 20.04 | 22:22 |
| genii | CrazySam: Releases in between LTS releases are shorter lived | 22:23 |
| === funny^_^ is now known as beaver | ||
| === haasn` is now known as haasn | ||
| genii | But all releases overlap long enough to upgrade in a normal cycle for most users | 22:24 |
| Jordan_U | Siecje: Please pastebin the complete output of the command you're using to install something. | 22:25 |
| CrazySam | genii: thanks for clarifying. | 22:26 |
| CrazySam | How do I upgrade from Cosmic to Disco then if Disco is EOL? | 22:30 |
| CrazySam | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiscoUpgrades | 22:30 |
| CrazySam | This article is of no help to me right? Because Disco is EOL? | 22:30 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Hey I restarted the windows system. And now doing ssh from linux to windows, it gives Host key verification failed. I was getting this once previously. See https://dpaste.org/4fiw | 22:31 |
| sazawal | Sorry got disconnected because I changed the wifi network. | 22:31 |
| sarnold | sazawal: oh strange -- I wonder why you get a new key? o_O | 22:33 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Could be because I ran some ssh-keygen -R commands? | 22:33 |
| sazawal | oh and I also ran ssh-keygen on the host computer | 22:34 |
| sarnold | sazawal: ah, the ssh-keygen will do it | 22:34 |
| sazawal | sarnold, What should I do now, I don't want to end up in "closed connection" message again. | 22:35 |
| sarnold | sazawal: follow the directions to forget the old host key, reconnect, accept the new hostkey, and then we can see whether or not the reboot worked | 22:36 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Ok so I just ran ssh-keygen -R "192.168.1.8" on linux and tried ssh again. Now I get "Connection to 192.168.1.8 closed." again :( | 22:38 |
| sarnold | sazawal: alright, now try from windows to windows to see if you can remove the linux system from the problem | 22:38 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Just tried windows to windows ssh. It doesn't give any output, no success or failure | 22:39 |
| sarnold | :( | 22:40 |
| sazawal | How can I remove all the keys from windows or generate new ones? And do the same on linux? | 22:41 |
| sarnold | why? | 22:42 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Maybe resetting the keys would work, as it was working earlier. I guess I messed up the keys or something. | 22:42 |
| sazawal | I think I know what caused the problem. The ip of the linux machine on wifi network-1 is same as the ip of the windows machine on wifi network-2. I once tried connecting linux to windows when linux was in wifi network-2 and windows was in wifi network-1 (or something like that) | 22:44 |
| sarnold | sazawal: but when you changed the keys, your connections were dropped immediately; with the original set of keys, the connections succeeded, terminals were set up, shells were started, and then the connection closed for still-unknown reasons, possibly including "the bash configuration files were broken" or "the shell doesn't run" etc | 22:46 |
| sazawal | sarnold, I see. I never saw such an issue before | 22:47 |
| sarnold | sazawal: me neither | 22:48 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: it seems to be limited to a set of sites | 22:51 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: i dont think we can blame those sys admins. this doesnt seem to be an issue for any other computer on the network. flushing DNS fixes it | 22:52 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Let me restart the system | 22:52 |
| sarnold | gonutsfordonuts: it'd be worth saving some dig output before and after flushing the routes to see what changed | 22:53 |
| bn_x | test | 22:53 |
| eelstrebor | anyone know why vlc launches when i attach a an external drive via usb (ubuntu 20.04) | 22:55 |
| xcfReal | Anyone know how to make a good working bash script i need to exit if input =! not equal to y from read | 22:56 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold - i suppose i can do this. the last time i asked this question here, someone else suggested i use a different DNS server. i switched it to google - i get the same issues. some new ones too - like when I flush dns caches, sometimes google tries to use their own certificate instead of passing on the one from github | 22:56 |
| gonutsfordonuts | doesnt really seem like anyone knows how this works | 22:56 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: while we are talking, slack has gone up and down for me. here is a paste with dig output for both cases: https://pastebin.com/xwR9nHLC | 22:58 |
| gonutsfordonuts | Is it fair to say my local DNS server just decides to "forget" what the correct answer was? | 22:59 |
| sarnold | gonutsfordonuts: oh fun.. right there, caught in the action.. | 22:59 |
| sarnold | gonutsfordonuts: line 16, the slack folks asked it to be cached for 59 seconds | 22:59 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: ah ok. so...shouldnt my local DNS server look it back up after 59 seconds? | 23:00 |
| gonutsfordonuts | if i made another request for a resource at api.slack.com | 23:00 |
| sarnold | if you ask again within 59 seconds, your cache should still have it, and get a very quick result; after 59 seconds, your dns resolver would need to go get a new one.. | 23:00 |
| sarnold | and when it did that, it got back a "NXDOMAIN", -- to say the domain just plain doesn't exist; it'll cache this, too, but I don't know for how long | 23:01 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: yeah, can confirm nslookup cant find an answer | 23:02 |
| sarnold | oh wow, slack is using wildcard dns in some fashion, even keut2gu2ekjey8wg.slack.com has the same IP address... | 23:03 |
| CrazySam | Upgrading to Disco... | 23:03 |
| sarnold | CrazySam: good luck :) | 23:03 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: i believe that is a catch-all for all the various workspaces they set up | 23:03 |
| CrazySam | You know I need it. Thanks! | 23:03 |
| gonutsfordonuts | so they dont have to set up a new DNS entry for every workspace that is registered | 23:03 |
| sarnold | it just complicates trying to out how long negative entries are supposed to be cached | 23:04 |
| sarnold | or, well, an actual expert would probably not be similarly confused, heh | 23:04 |
| gonutsfordonuts | haha | 23:04 |
| gonutsfordonuts | well i feel that | 23:04 |
| gonutsfordonuts | again, the last time i was on here, someone suggested the problem was somewhere else | 23:05 |
| sarnold | dang they've got a cleanish looking https://dnsviz.net/d/api.slack.com/dnssec/ results too | 23:05 |
| sarnold | normally that thing is glowing red with errors .. | 23:05 |
| gonutsfordonuts | given my laptop is the only machine in the house that seems to have this issue - im inclined to think it has something to do with how local dns is configured and not my router/or another DNS server somewhere | 23:05 |
| sarnold | gonutsfordonuts: so, is it still returning NXDOMAIN for you? how do you clear the cache? what do you get afterwards? | 23:06 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: gonna answer in order here | 23:06 |
| CrazySam | "System upgrade is complete." | 23:06 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Its not working, is there anything more I can try? | 23:07 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: is it still return NXDOMAIN: no I dont believe so. I'm doing the lookup by `nslookup api.slack.com` I get `Address: 127.0.0.53#53 ** server can't find api.slack.com: NXDOMAIN` in response | 23:07 |
| sarnold | sazawal: sorry,I'm out of ideas :( you'll have to find someone more familiar with windows than me, I'm afraid | 23:07 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: how do I clear the cache: `sudo resolvectl flush-caches` | 23:08 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: what do I get afterwards: All my busted sites seem to come back for the most part. Works as normal then at some point in the future sites will break again (maybe after TTLs expire? might be something for me to look into) | 23:08 |
| CrazySam | Next up is Eoan upgrade. Will leave that for the next day. | 23:09 |
| sazawal | sarnold, alright. | 23:09 |
| sarnold | gonutsfordonuts: heh, sorry, for the 'after', I meant to pastebin the dig output of it working | 23:09 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: oh sure thing, one second | 23:09 |
| napk1n | hey guys how can I check my crontab script logs? | 23:11 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: https://pastebin.com/wDqKxWCs new paste. After digging a few times, the TTL counter will go down. Ive seen it referesh once properly | 23:12 |
| sarnold | napk1n: cron sends emails when things don't work; check /var/spool/mail/* files maybe? | 23:13 |
| sazawal | sarnold, Hey one new observation. You know the sftp://username@ipaddress via nautilus? It is working for me from linux to windows pc, and not the regular ssh via terminal. This is strange. | 23:13 |
| === rdelfin_ is now known as rdelfin | ||
| sarnold | sazawal: hmm; is it configured to support *only* sftp ? | 23:13 |
| === haasn` is now known as haasn | ||
| sazawal | sarnold, I didn't particularly do such a setup for sftp. Now I am unsure if ssh was actually working previously or not, I had been using sftp only for some days. The sftp stopped working when I changed the wifi network and that made me check the ssh via terminal. | 23:15 |
| pqatsi | Hello! I did a fresh install of ubuntu 20.04 to a Dell Notebook with Optimus support (NVidia MX150). I selected proprietary repos on install and after reboot, nvidia driver got automatically selected. But I cant find where I can switch VGA (Its just the right click, run with dedicated graphics?) and I cant proof until now the switch (Running steam from ubuntu store/snap did not reported anything on | 23:17 |
| pqatsi | nvidia-smi) | 23:17 |
| pqatsi | So, there is any place where how to handle nvidia optimus with 20.04 is documented I can read? Also, someone can help-me to get this working properlly? | 23:17 |
| pqatsi | (Also, another symptom, run firefox with dedicated graphics disables webgl, even forcing the usage disabling blacklist) | 23:18 |
| napk1n | k gave up trying to find crontab logs | 23:19 |
| napk1n | anyways here is my issue, I think I created an infinite loop in the crontab script I set up | 23:20 |
| napk1n | how can I stop it ? | 23:20 |
| napk1n | would a server restart stop it ? | 23:20 |
| pqatsi | napk1n: tried journalctl --boot ? | 23:20 |
| pqatsi | About stop, you can kill what is looping inside you job | 23:21 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: so it is stable for now. this is pretty typical. after awhile dig wont return anything, nslookup wont return anything. i have no idea what causes the switch in behaviour to DNS just freaking out and dying. is there any other service i should be looking at? | 23:21 |
| sarnold | napk1n: ps auxw to see what's running, kill pid .. to ask it nicely to stop; kill -9 pid to tell it to stop | 23:21 |
| sarnold | gonutsfordonuts: it's possible journalctl will have some messages from systemd-resolved, but that thing seems to log a lot of useless stuff, and not enough useful stuff | 23:22 |
| gonutsfordonuts | sarnold: fair enough. i appreciate your help btw - looks like youre carrying the channel here :P | 23:22 |
| napk1n | sarnold k that worked xd lol had 3 instances of it running non stop | 23:23 |
| gonutsfordonuts | my understanding on how DNS is handled on ubuntu is pretty poor. probably worth upskilling there a bit so i can troubleshoot these issues myself | 23:23 |
| sarnold | napk1n: the run-one package has some commands that can help prevent running several copies of something out of crontabs | 23:24 |
| sarnold | gonutsfordonuts: heh, same here, I don't know resolvectl stuff well enough | 23:24 |
| sarnold | and not nearly enough dnssec.. | 23:24 |

| oerheks | !ltsupgrade | 23:55 |
| ubottu | Regular upgrades from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS will be enabled once 20.04.1 is released in late July. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 23:55 |
| oerheks | i would wait .. | 23:55 |
| euxneks | oh! | 23:55 |
| euxneks | I thought it was released already, my bad! | 23:55 |
| euxneks | @oerheks, thanks for the clarification | 23:56 |
| sarnold | euxneks: it's released, but that file is used to prompt to people to upgrade | 23:57 |
| euxneks | hrm.. what about from 19.10 though? | 23:57 |
| euxneks | (I'm on 19.10) | 23:58 |
