[00:01] Biruwa: rsync and ssh and so on should keep working as usual [00:01] Thank you. [00:01] Biruwa: though it's possible your desktop environment is configured to suspend or sleep or similar after some inactivity [00:02] I see. I'll double-check in my GUI settings, and make sure suspend or sleep is disabled. [00:02] I want to be able to lock my workstation, and walk away from it - while keeping on-going SSH and RSYNC operations uninterrupted. [00:04] yeah, it's frustrating to return and find out the machine's done nothing useful for all but fifteen minutes.. [00:04] Hello! Something need to be changed on ZFS while using SSDs with Ubuntu? I'm noticing a increased write on SSD while system is idle. [00:05] pqatsi: file a bug [00:05] compared against ext4 or compared against spinning metal drives? [00:05] how are you measuring? [00:06] sarnold: watch -n1 zpool iostat [00:06] pqatsi: aha :) that's a poor measure; use zpool iostat 1 instead [00:06] the first output from zpool iostat is cumulative since boot === dtomato3 is now known as dtomato [00:07] pqatsi: when I'm doing IO-intensive things I tend to use zpool iostat -v 1 [00:07] sarnold: indeed :) [00:08] sarnold: I'm specially concerned about ssd live. Before Ubuntu 20.04, i was using fedora with btrfs and without issues. ZFS on Linux is a new thing to me, but Im trying to check critical things that may deteriorate the ssd [00:08] sarnold: Another thing I dont know if its a bug or not: zpool trim -d rpool return "cannot trim '/dev/sdb4': trim operations are not supported by this device" [00:08] pqatsi: not a bad idea, but most ssd lifetimes these days are things like "completely fill the drive from scratch every day for years" [00:09] pqatsi: oh that's too bad ;( [00:09] sarnold: You got a point here. I'm *very* concerned about the Ubuntu decision to only erases snapshots when disk is near to be full [00:09] sarnold: Its a bug? [00:09] sarnold: With btrfs I did not got the trim command refused [00:09] pqatsi: I think the last time I went looking for that error message, it's because zfs is looking specifically for devices that *zero* data when they are trimmed -- and some devices don't promise to return zeros, they may return garbage or what was there before [00:10] sarnold: o.0 [00:11] sarnold: hdparm -I /dev/sdb | grep -i trim returns "* Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 8 blocks) and * Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM" [00:11] sarnold: I also enabled autotrim on fs too [00:12] How do I reset the CPU colors in gnome-system-monitor? I read that I have to do something with dconf, but I'm not sure where to look... [00:13] pqatsi: hrm. I wonder what's going on there then :/ [00:14] sarnold: may strace give some tip or needs to enable debug someplace to get? [00:14] Where is a good place to read on the current goings on with wayland and nvidia driver support [00:14] sarnold: Can you help-me to report this issue? [00:15] pqatsi: lets head to #zfsonlinux, they may know off-hand what this is [00:15] sarnold: I'll go there, but a spoiler: removing -d (secure trim), worked apparently [00:16] pqatsi: aya! [00:16] sarnold: But its a issue? [00:16] pqatsi: no idea, now :) [00:16] I'll lead question to zfsonlinux so :) [00:17] Hello, I am working on script that need to check is specific snap application is installed. If not then install it. with deb I used dpkg-query -W --showformat [00:20] sarnold: About this perspective from Ubuntu to fill system with snapshots until FS is 80% full, how can we avoid this size of snapshots? [00:20] Also, there is a way to clean it properly? [00:20] (Including grub entries, etc) [00:22] pqatsi: hmm, I don't know those; I installed following the old zfsonlinux wiki guide, so don't have the zsysd thing myself -- I learned to hate having snapshots on my bpool, and now keep them only on my rpool [00:22] pqatsi: I hadn't been aware that was something we were doing, thanks :) I"ll have to look into it.. [00:31] sarnold, i think we discussed this yesterday or the day before but did you have to modify the initramfs update from the zfsonlinux wiki guide? the command they use in the guide flat out did not work for me, but produced no error so i didn't figure it out until i got to a grub menu with nothing in it haha [00:31] put on the tasklist to do a PR for that [00:32] maybe create a 20.04 updated guide that includes zfs encryption sans luks [00:35] my touchpad is broken and I can't right click. is there a magic way I can do a right click with only one mouse button? === bq_ is now known as borisq [00:45] ohmyfromage: try https://askubuntu.com/questions/881939/libinput-how-to-map-different-tappings-to-buttons-tappingbuttonmap-has-no-effe === housecat is now known as dax [00:58] ohmyfromage: in short, find the id of your touchpad with 'xinput list', then enable tapping with 'xinput set-prop $ID "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1 and set the mapping with 'xinput set-prop $ID "libinput Tapping Button Mapping Enabled" 1, 0'. you can now right-click with a doubletap and middleclick with three fingers [00:59] where $ID is your touchpads id [01:08] is there a keyboard shortcut to suspend? [01:09] oh i can make one xD === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:38] is there any way to increse the size of a picture? I don't necessarily want to increase its quality [01:42] hello all. I'm having trouble getting Nvidia prime render offloading to work in a brand new install of ubuntu 20.04. [01:43] previously this worked flawlesly in ubuntu 19.04/19.10 using the patched xserver and nvidia-435. Any one here had any luck getting it to work with the new nvidia-440 and xserver 1.20.8-2ubuntu2 ? === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly === leaftype2 is now known as leaftype [02:07] is it me or does ubuntu.com redirect to https://www.translatetheweb.com/ ??? feel like im going mad [02:08] right now [02:08] no, it is you. clean your internet cache and restart browser [02:09] even in another web browser this happens [02:10] maybe a router hijack, reboot it? [02:11] yea [02:12] never happened before [02:12] but it is a crappy isp router [02:17] rebooted router still happens [02:17] this os is very old ubuntu. had updates installed [02:18] works now in links [02:18] hmmm [02:18] so... no one here with a working laptop nvidia installation? [02:21] cleared cache and now real ubuntu.com loads [02:33] Heyo [02:33] hi [02:34] Hey, quick question, [02:35] If I install PostgreSQL database tools, does it always run a daemon in the background at every boot? [02:35] yeah [02:36] Is there anyway I could stop it from using resources when I'm not working with it? [02:36] sudo systemsctl stop postgresql [02:36] I am just trying to learn with databases, I don't really need it most of the time [02:36] to stop [02:36] Okay, is it possible to have it only activate when needed? [02:37] sudo systemsctl disable postgresql [02:37] to not start when boot [02:37] Okay, and I'm assuming "sudo systemsctl enable postgresql" when I'm going to use it? [02:38] enable to start when boot [02:38] start to start [02:38] Oh, so it should start on its own when needed? [02:38] Sorry, I'm new to this lol [02:39] SourceSlayer: see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.html [02:39] sudo systemsctl enable _service_ will add that service to the regular boot statup sequence === anon is now known as Guest4588 [02:40] sudo systemsctl start _service_ will start the given service for the current session [02:40] https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/databases-postgresql [02:40] sudo systemsctl stop _service_ will stop the given service for the current session [02:40] etc. [02:40] SO... no one here has a working nvidia installation [02:40] ? [02:41] Okay, thank you genhaoqi & jtatria [02:45] grr my crappy old router that lacks updates... time to splash on a open source router! with updates! [02:50] how you do that? pineapplesweet :0 [02:53] Is there a proper procedure for switching from ubuntus default gnome setup to KDE plasma? i am using the regular 20.04 install media so i can get zfs on root [02:56] !info kubuntu-desktop [02:56] kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu Plasma Desktop/Netbook system.

XX-desktop is a meta package to install a whole bunch of other packages. Now if you are handy I am aware of a script that one can adapt to remove an alternate DE. [03:01] ya, mind pointing me in that direction [03:01] i think what i'll prob try next is debootstrap from the live iso and just go direct to kubuntu-desktop [03:01] Synx_hm: have a look here: https://github.com/aysiu/purebuntu . [03:02] why isn't there an unbound.conf with the unbound package? [03:03] Bashing-om, thanks much! [03:03] Synx_hm: :D - My bit to try and help . [03:11] lestac, https://www.turris.cz [03:11] buts not cheap [03:12] but as network now seams to be getting compromised, maybe dad wont mind the splash so much [03:13] periodically my "copy" feature stops working [03:13] I can't "copy" files and "paste" them to another folder [03:13] and I can't "copy" text and "paste" it to somewhere [03:13] has anyone ever ran into this before and can tell me how to get that working again? [03:18] illuminated: Do you have authority? [03:18] for what? [03:18] I'm root if that's what you want to know [03:22] seems other people with kde plasma have the same issue [03:22] so I guess it's not an ubuntu thing, and I'm not using stock ubuntu with the canonical customized gnome3 or whatever they started using after they gave up on unity [03:23] maybe other who use kde can help you [03:24] goto kde channel [03:28] is that #kde ? [03:30] illuminated: "/j kde" [03:46] i have a cron job that executes a bash script, but it seems to be failing, is there anywhere i can look for command errors?

[04:02] think its becouse my SSD got full trying if thats it [04:02] yep thats solved it [04:13] wow im dumb [04:13] I found a old hard driver that has a .Encrypt folder with many encrypted folders inside. [04:13] was mixing up local vs prod server [04:13] how can i mount it? [04:14] I found a old hard driver that has a .Encrypt folder with many encrypted folders inside. how can i mount it?

[06:15] it used to be directly underneath python3 and is still on debian [06:15] now the path to debhelper on ubuntu 20.04 is /usr/share/dh-python/dhpython/ [06:16] and while not exactly catastrophic, this does require patching the path in multiple softwares [06:16] or is there some envvar that im not aware of that should be used? [06:46] do others report in on nvidia drivers messing up 20.04 ? [06:49] Stupid question: how do I restart libvirt in 20.04? [06:55] Hi [06:57] theshagg: systemctl restart libvirtd.service [06:57] ducasse thanks! [07:21] zapotah: on my machines it is still /usr/share/python3/debpython (ubuntu & Kubuntu 20.04) === rawr is now known as grumble [07:23] oldguy: if you upgrade in place, i suspect it is [07:23] fresh install on the other hand... [07:23] zapotah: no, both are fresh installs [07:23] thats...odd then [07:24] oh [07:24] debpython is still in place [07:24] however for whatever reason debhelper is not in there [07:24] maybe a packaging bug? [07:26] zapotah: my debpthon contains files [07:27] zapotah: and I hve no dh--python on my systems [07:31] oldguy: is debhelper.py in debpython there? [07:32] oldguy: having files does not exactly mean much :P [07:32] or if you install it, does it end up in debpython [07:34] zapotah: files in folder are __init__.py files.py interpreter.py option.py version.py and __pycache_ [07:36] zapotah: I must admit I dont know that this package is. I have checed on a freshly installed vm (is I have not installed anything) - The folder and files are as I have listed them [07:38] oldguy: yes, i know that much, debhelper should however be in there and this is likely a packaging bug [07:41] zapotah: i'm not really qualified to judge - though may I repeat that i cannot find any trace of a folder called dh-python [07:43] oldguy: because you do not have debhelper installed [07:48] zapotah: My Bad I have confused debpython and debhelper : ( I will install debhelper and check [08:00] will 18.04 get kernel from 20.04 as hwe kernel or stick to the current version till eol ? [08:04] zapotah: OK hve just pip3 install debhelper. It was installed to ~/.local/python3.8/site-packages/ There is a file there called debhelper.py. It can be imported ..... [08:06] badbodh: eventually it will get it [08:07] zapotah: I still do not have a /usr/share/dh-python. there is a /usr/share/debhelper. but that does not contain python scripts [08:09] ok [08:12] cheese works fine with integrated latptop webcam but browsers refuse to use cam, firefox, chrome and opera..anyone else make this observation [08:16] oldguy: pip has different packaging [08:16] and different paths [08:16] oldguy: so i still suspect that this is a ubuntu packaging bug [08:21] i'm on ubuntu 19.10, but do-release-upgrade says there's no new release found. how do i make it detect that 20.04 was released? [08:24] absence: use -d [08:24] absence: There is always a delay before the upgrades show up, I think the release notes said it would be a few days, I'd say keep checking each day [08:25] zapotah: I just 'apt download debhelper' I then extracted the files from the package it contains a number of perl scripts, but no python files. I don't think it is a matter of packaging ... they seem to be different packages [08:27] i see, will using -d have any other effects than forcing the upgrade? i see the option is called "development release" [08:28] oldguy: propably dh-python in that case [08:28] theres other issues with debhelper in regards to venv [08:29] but those are besides the point [08:39] zapotah: I juust d'ld and extracted dh-python. This does contain dh-python/dhpyton/debhelper.py. I think I have already said - I have no Idea what this package does I dont think i can be of any further help [08:40] * oldguy off for breakfast [08:55] oldguy: its for packaging python stuff into .deb [08:56] I can not play the audio though external monitor after update the kernel. :( [08:59] * oldguy back from breakfast [08:59] use previous kernel [09:00] hello [09:00] hi [09:00] i have a local apt mirror that keeps several ubuntu releases. is it possible to tell apt-mirror to download only packages for specific release?

[09:01] Ah, this solve the problem: https://superuser.com/questions/845645/pulseaudio-how-to-rescan-audio-devices?noredirect=1&lq=1 [09:02] zapotah: great thanks - I've just checked pypi - the packge insttalled by pip (debhelper) is for setting up a repo. It does contain a debhelper.py This is not the same as the debhelper.,py [09:02] in dh-helper [09:03] I tried out ubuntu 20.04 last night - I am a long time linux desktop users (since mandrake linux in 2002 i have been Linux only - no windows) - I usually use KDE (presently kubuntu/neon and arch) - I thought i would try latest gnome. [09:03] first impressions : terrible [09:03] i enabled fractional scaling and lost the desktop. [09:03] (not troling btw - this was my experience) [09:04] yossarianuk: 2020 is the year of the linux desktop! [09:04] i.e enable fractional scaling - black screen [09:04] had to hard reboot [09:05] which seems somewhat buggy for an LTS release.. [09:05] I have used fractional scaling in KDE for ages with no real issues (apart from the old line in the konsole window) [09:06] i guess i shall file a bug.. [09:06] zapotah: -- again i have made a mistake - the last post i made should have said dh-pthon ... sorry [09:15] oldguy: it happens to...old guys [09:15] * zapotah shows himself out [09:25] Query - How does one change window manager in the latest Ubuntu?

[12:47] guiverc unfortunately, the app which I am trying to use supports only python-pip [12:48] Hi, I've followed the microk8s installation instructions, but the executables are missing? e.g. `microk8s.status` (from https://ubuntu.com/kubernetes/install#single-node) [12:48] I can't find them in /snap/microk8s/current/... either? [12:53] hi, what can I check if my system sometimes (rarely) won't go to sleep and freezes? min most cases sleep works fine. the system is 18.04.4 [12:56] good morning. my ubuntu 20.04 cant power off. [12:56] the last record in kern.log was: "PM: suspend entry (deep)" [12:58] Hi there! I just ran "openssl speed" to see which is faster for my device and I don't know what the output means? can I paste somewhere and someone tell me? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/c44jmq5k9z/ [13:01] Deano59; the information is mixing hash crypto choices somehow to the speed analyses [13:04] Hi everyone [13:05] I am stuck in a big problem here with the power off not de facto concluding [13:05] NOT concluding [13:05] is there any way I can use python-pip in Ubuntu focal? [13:06] 20.04, you mean? :p [13:06] g'day [13:07] I am not 100% if it happened before or after my update to 20.04 (from 18.04) but the current state is that my integrated camera is gone [13:07] there is no /dev/video0 and the browser also says no camera detected [13:08] walter__: Have you tried speedtest-cli [13:09] omg. [13:09] heh. Well then, pip for python2 was removed from Ubuntu 20.04, itself. heh [13:09] It was my fn+cam key that I had to press [13:09] god damn. [13:09] walter__: https://opensource.com/article/20/1/internet-speed-tests [13:10] I have a question. I know the answers are subjective, but Id like to know other opinions. I was thinking of buying a new GPU, and I was wondering which one will give me less headaches. I have used NVidia so far, and the performance is great, but GOD i cant stop the screen tearing. This has been happening to me for ages over and over. What do you guys think? Would I be better off with a AMD? [13:10] DJones, I believe speedtest-cli is meant to test speed I currently on power off troubles. [13:11] walter__: ok,I thought you were just looking for a internet speed test utility [13:11] dbugger: Subjective? Well, facts are facts. Not subjective. but ATI/AMD on GPU, has always been problematic. It's "getting better", but it's not yet there in terms of quality support yet in the world of linux. [13:12] FYI, I have a NVidia GTX 970 [13:12] I have the GTX 960. Works great. [13:13] Works fine too, but the screen tearing keeps coming back, over and over. I dont know what do to anymore [13:13] dbugger, well, some critics are biased to nvidia if the problem is not money [13:13] I have not had screen tearing.. In... Ever. [13:14] Well, Money is a factor. But I am looking more for a "problem free" life :P [13:14] I only have screen tearing on my second screen of my dual screen setup but that might be due to the fact it's connected directly to the motherboard instead of the graphics card [13:15] sarnold and Mordoc, I have some updates: according to my host, they - did not alter the network and - did not alter the machine in itself [13:15] So my primary screen works great, but the tearing on the second screen is just unbearable [13:15] I think I'm going to reinstall the OS, unless you have a better idea? [13:16] dbugger: Are you using the same monitor connector type from the video card? Not mixing HDMI+DP+DVI, etc to your displays? [13:17] Psi-Jack, I have 3 screens. I might have 1 to HDMI, but the other 2 are Display Port [13:17] There you go. [13:17] That'll cause screen tearing. [13:17] Really?? [13:17] Yes, really. [13:17] Let me check... [13:18] Ok, yes... so I should use all 3 with DisplayPort to the GPU? [13:19] Correct, all /same interface/ connector. [13:19] That's critical. [13:19] I would have never guessed it... [13:19] Which is why I asked about your setup. :) [13:19] the problem here is not an important one. but it's the only thing left to make the system round [13:19] Thanks, mate. I will get me a 3rd DisplayPort cable [13:19] dbugger: Does your graphics card have 3 native DP ports? [13:20] Psi-Jack, yeah, 2 DP and one HDMI [13:20] 3DP [13:20] Cool :) [13:20] does anyone know how to fix the [Waiting for headers] apt problem? [13:20] My older 960, I had uniquely gotten with DVI in mind. LOL [13:20] wait it works [13:20] it was just long [13:20] sorry [13:21] Psi-Jack, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/610VIvpieJL._AC_SL1000_.jpg [13:21] Now, technically, I could get a video card that does HDMI, but, I'm waiting till I have better money to buy a worthwhile card. [13:21] Well dang! [13:21] More than enough ports =P [13:22] Hi. I somehow deleted my /boot partition /dev/sdb1 2G EFI System. Think is I cannot boot ubuntu anymore and I am now in a liveCD [13:22] Even thought, for reason... I seem to recall that once I tried connecting all 3 monitors to DP, and one of them was not working... [13:22] *for some reason [13:22] So, yeah. DP all the way then, if you want to drive 3 displays. Now, I can't say ultimately that will work as well as hoped, BUT, it's got a much higher chance /to/ work, because of the same interface control. [13:23] the / is still there, I can access it but I really need help reconstructing /boot and grup [13:23] Well, I guess I can try. DP cable is not much [13:23] Right. [13:26] of course, you must master the technical hability to help, otherwise, words on the wind [13:27] my /boot now shows as EFI and no boot flag is there. i tried chrooting and installing grub but still the same [13:27] Hi. Is normal the mac address of a wifi interface change something like some digits? [13:29] echoSMILE: Normal? Absolutely not. [13:30] echoSMILE: no that's not normal. How did you find it? [13:30] echoSMILE, some routers have the option to clone the mac address of the host, from what I remember [13:31] I have my wifi AP allowing my laptop from MAC, and today I didn't have connection. SO i was debuging the issue and I find out the last digit of the mac address of my wifi card was difeferent. [13:31] anyways my deal now is power off [13:32] Hello, How do i easily copy the contents of a file from command line? [13:32] I have records about my network settings registered. So no, was not me that did change it before or today. [13:32] How can this be possible ?! [13:32] I'm using putty to connect to my command line on ubuntu server and have a file open in nano [13:33] afk [13:33] kevindank copy to/from where? winscp can copy files to/from windows over ssh [13:34] I think putty can too [13:34] kevindank but nano just works "on the ubuntu server" [13:37] i tim trying to copy a file from one directory to another [13:37] but it tells me its not a directory [13:37] kevindank, are you using screen on the server? [13:39] kevindank: cp oldfile newpath/ [13:39] echoSMILE: MAC are sometimes built at firmware load during boot up and in those cases it's generally based off the manufacturer prefix and some other data like a serial number for the device that is stored somewhere internally. If that serial number changed, then the MAC could change. It's not normally an issue, but it can happen. [13:40] If the serial number changes, there's something horribly wrong going on. :) [13:40] bit flips happen, but I agree, if that's what happened then the memory appears to be failing. [13:40] okay what is pa stand for in pactl [13:40] Pulse Audio [13:41] Psi-Jack: it tells me that its not a directory [13:41] ahh nice [13:41] cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/file.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ [13:41]
