| HypothesisFrog | hi. Just upgraded to ubuntu studio 20.04. The problem I'm having is that applications take a really long time to load. They didn't used to. | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | HypothesisFrog: is it all applications? just some applications? | 00:38 |
| HypothesisFrog | sarnold, all | 00:38 |
| HypothesisFrog | pretty much | 00:38 |
| HypothesisFrog | I haven't tried ALL the applications. | 00:38 |
| HypothesisFrog | One of the things I did before I upgraded from 19.10, was I backed up my user directory, including all config files. Could my old user config files be causing the new system some confusion? | 00:39 |
| sarnold | HypothesisFrog: I've heard that some of the applications packaged as snaps are slower to start than the older .deb versions, but haven't tested myself | 00:40 |
| HypothesisFrog | sarnold, does sudo apt-get use snaps? | 00:42 |
| genii | Sort of a trick question | 00:42 |
| sarnold | HypothesisFrog: some deb packages do install snaps as part of their processing; eg apt install chromium-browser or lxd will do a postinst snap install chromium-browser or snap install lxd | 00:42 |
| genii | Chromium, yes, is the one I was reminded of | 00:43 |
| designbybeck | Ubuntu 20.04 on Samsung Notebook 9 Pro. ....No Sound? ANyone else have this issues? | 00:47 |
| sarnold | designbybeck: usually running pavucontrol is enough to help folks find out what to change | 00:48 |
| designbybeck | sarnold is that in Ubuntu by default? | 00:48 |
| designbybeck | run it in the CLI? | 00:48 |
| sarnold | designbybeck: it's a gui program, so you can launch it however you like; I'm not sure if it's installed by default or not | 00:49 |
| designbybeck | so that is the default audio site | 00:50 |
| designbybeck | audio program | 00:51 |
| HypothesisFrog | Wish I could solve the problem. I'm used to applications loading instantly. Not waiting 5-10 seconds. | 00:52 |
| HypothesisFrog | sarnold, | 00:52 |
| HypothesisFrog | Hang on. This guy reckons he had a similar problem, and it turned out to be the nvidia drivers. I'll try that. | 00:57 |
| HypothesisFrog | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1230620/ubuntu-20-04-gnome-very-slow | 00:58 |
| HypothesisFrog | yep. Much better. | 01:00 |
| sarnold | HypothesisFrog: hah, how the heck did you get anything useful out of that post? well done, anyway :) | 01:02 |

| glitsj16 | I'm dual-booting Ubuntu 16.04 and Arch Linux and I face a somewhat complicated GRUB issue. The default grub-pc version on xenial generates 'initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img' for all the Arch Linux stanzas instead of 'initrd /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-linux.img' (because arch deals differently with the microcode loading). So while not incorrect, it does mean I have to manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg all the time. Is there a more | 01:19 |

| frib | I need to run a bash script with cron. Cron is running and executing commands I put in crontab but will not execute my script correctly that otherwise runs fine from the terminal | 03:07 |
| frib | it's a one line script that runs a program with 2 arguments | 03:08 |
| Bashing-om | frib: A thought: full paths in both the crontab and your script ? | 03:12 |
| frib | Bashing-om, yes but at this point I'm trying to just run the program directly from crontab to take the script element out of it and even that's not working | 03:13 |
| frib | things like echo, date work but not my program | 03:13 |
| Bashing-om | frib: Access rights ? set as executable ? | 03:16 |
| frib | Bashing-om, apparently I made a dumb mistake in my command | 03:16 |

| Bashing-om | frib: in the cron ' /bin/date | 03:20 |

| kvndy | I just started using my 2017 Macbook Pro 14,1 again because audio broke on my little Dell inspiron running Ubuntu 18. Apple just keeps getting worse and worse. I tried installing Ubuntu on the MBP but there are hardware issues | 04:13 |
| kvndy | Ironically, what prompted this was audio breaking on my Dell Inspiron running Ubuntu, but on the 2017 MBP audio is not supported! | 04:14 |
| kvndy | Apple broke basic dragging behavior with the trackpad. "tap to drag without drag lock" no longer works as it used to. There is now a delay, making every single interaction with every slider, scrubber, combo box, or window drag a broken and confusing experience | 04:16 |

| SomethingGeneric | Hey guys, I have a question that’s (partially) Ubuntu related. I’m following the LFS boot, and when building the kernel, there’s a warning that says “if your system has a separate /boot partition, you need to do <x>.” My host machine only has Ubuntu on it, and I told the installer to put everything in one partition. However, according to Disks, I do have one separate partition mounted as /boot/efi. | 04:40 |
| SomethingGeneric | Is that what’s they’re referring to as the boot partition? Or is that a re-mounted sub-directory as it appears to my naïve eyes..? | 04:40 |

| Deano59 | hi, if I setup "encrypt" my local /home - how can I change my root/user password? I tried and couldn't login. when I changed the password back to my old one I could login fine. | 10:01 |
| EriC^^ | Deano59: you need to change the wrapped passphrase, wrap it with your new password | 10:02 |
| EriC^^ | Deano59: i think though if you use the gui stuff for changing the password it might do that stuff for you | 10:03 |
| Deano59 | EriC^^: I didn't create a passphrase when it asked me to, I clicked close. is that bad? | 10:03 |
| EriC^^ | re-run it i guess | 10:04 |
| mgedmin | hmm, I would expect pam_ecryptfs to re-wrap the passphrase when you change your password using passwd | 10:04 |
| mgedmin | (or the gui bits) | 10:04 |
| Deano59 | what's qui? | 10:05 |
| Deano59 | how do I re-run it? | 10:05 |
| Deano59 | sorry, never done it before. | 10:06 |
| mgedmin | gui is a Graphical User Interface, by which we mean gnome-control-center's Users panel | 10:06 |
| mgedmin | how did you change your password, exactly? | 10:06 |
| Deano59 | "sudo passwd *name*" | 10:06 |
| === takov7518 is now known as takov751 | ||
| mgedmin | ah! | 10:17 |
| mgedmin | don't do that | 10:17 |
| mgedmin | do just 'passwd', or if you're not logged in as yourself, sudo -u name passwd | 10:18 |
| mgedmin | sudo passwd doesn't ask for the old password, so the pam_ecryptfs module is unable to unwrap the passphrase, and therefore it's unable to re-wrap it | 10:18 |

| zenn | are you refering to my issue? | 14:45 |
| mgedmin | nvidia doesn't provide any hardware documentation or source for their video drivers, which makes it hard to support nvidia hardware in linux | 14:49 |
| mgedmin | the choice is between reverse-engineered open drivers that are buggy and slow, and nvidia-provided binary drivers that are buggy and might not support all the other OS component versions like the kernel | 14:50 |

| Val_K | hi, I have a problem with my fstab: it doesn't mount my network drive at boot. If I mount it manually with "sudo mount -a" all is good, but it doesn't work at boot. This is the line in my fstab: //192.168.0.XXX/[name of resource]/ /media/[name of resource]/ cifs username=[username],password=[password],auto,iocharset=utf8,vers=1.0 0 | 16:41 |
| Val_K | 0 I suspect it doesn't mount the drive because the network is not ready when fstab is run, so how can I fix it? | 16:41 |

| Val_K | bjarne333, I am not aware of that | 16:43 |
| bjarne333 | it's been years since I played with fstab. but I think it's controlled by a systemd service right? and it runs before network is ready | 16:44 |
| Val_K | bjarne333, I don't know the answer to your question, but as I said in my initial message I too think that fstab runs before network is ready | 16:45 |
| bjarne333 | Val_K: try adding _netdev as option. | 16:45 |
| bjarne333 | his will prevent the system from attempting to mount this filesystem until the network has been enabled on the system. | 16:45 |

| Val_K | or is it auto by default? | 16:46 |

| EriC^^ | mydog2: how about "find..... -exec grep -E "github|repos" {} \;" | 19:46 |
| EriC^^ | i think you might need grep -HE so it shows the filenames next to the stuff | 19:47 |
| mydog2 | so get rid of the args | 19:47 |
| mydog2 | xags | 19:47 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 19:47 |
| mydog2 | xargs | 19:47 |
| sarnold | mydog2: I usually use grep -l for this -- if you don't want the actual line itself; try: grep -l root /etc/passwd | 19:48 |

| EriC^^ | mydog2: why though, just to learn xargs? | 19:48 |

| MoPac | Hi, so I've run into a bit of a problem during an upgrade 19.10 --> 20.04 (Kubuntu). During the confirmation step of the "sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop" method, I went to "details" of package removal and then accidentally terminated the whole program rather than returning and saying "N". | 20:23 |
| MoPac | Apparently this means that my software sources are set to "focal" even though nothing was approved for installation/removal. When I try to run either the console tool again or the GUI, it won't proceed because because I need the latest updates to my current software first -- all 2326 updates it thinks I need, since with my current source config, everything looks behind, and the check step isn't comparing version names. | 20:23 |
| MoPac | I'm hoping it will be enough to just manually switch back the four sources that are active in the middle of an upgrade -- [ver. name]/updates/backports/security, back to eon. But I haven't wanted to touch anything yet in case this is actually a bigger mess than that. | 20:24 |
| sarnold | MoPac: I think I've done something similar, and I think I was able to get back to a working config with a simple s/foo/bar/ in the sources | 20:24 |
| meltingwax | i'm getting errors for apt-get update in fresh ubuntu:18.04 containers; complaining that the files it gets have the wrong hashsum | 20:26 |
| meltingwax | i assume this is an infrastructure problem that I can expect to go away? | 20:26 |
| sarnold | meltingwax: it depends what introduced the problem -- if you have a caching proxy that is caching too agressively, or worse, if your ISP has a caching proxy that they have not told you about, you'll probably have to take action yourself to fix it | 20:27 |
| sarnold | meltingwax: the last person who ran into this problem found out their VPN provider was using a caching proxy, and hadn't expected that.. | 20:27 |
| meltingwax | sarnold: it's under a corp network, so maybe there is a hidden proxy. but it worked an hour ago, now it doesn't work at all | 20:28 |
| sarnold | meltingwax: if you request the same files using curl or wget, do you get something that looks like an error page? or something that looks right but is too short? or something old? | 20:29 |
| urxtnw | If I use systemd to start a unit at book with: systemctl enable unit. What is actually happening? Will this be enabled forever, or is there a chance this setting might be re-written if I do a system upgrade? Will this setting be written in some file? | 20:30 |
| MoPac | sarnold: looks like replacing "focal" in sources.list is doing the trick; thanks for the reassurance. | 20:30 |
| sarnold | MoPac: nice! :) | 20:30 |
| oerheks | urxtnw, enable is for starting at boot | 20:31 |
| oerheks | start is starting for this session | 20:31 |
| sarnold | urxtnw: 'enable' fiddles around with some 'wants' requirements as directed by the [Install] section of the unit | 20:31 |
| urxtnw | oerheks, sarnold, yes but I am asking if this setting will get overwritten if I upgrade my system | 20:32 |
| meltingwax | thats a good idea sarnold, i will try | 20:32 |
| sarnold | urxtnw: it's strongly unlikely, but it is possible, that an update will change that config | 20:32 |
| urxtnw | sarnold, do you know where the config is, as in that is getting written, when I run that command? | 20:33 |
| sarnold | urxtnw: most services' [Install] sections just say to add themselves to the multi-user target: ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ | 20:35 |
| meltingwax | sarnold: the file i wget'd matched the sum; and now i restarted the job and it works; so who knows. maybe an ops hiccup | 20:35 |
| sarnold | meltingwax: oh cripes, I hate problems that go away without a known reason *why*... oh well, at least you're back doing whatever it was you *wanted* to do :) | 20:35 |

| ajshell1 | What's the best way to completely remove GNOME 3 and everything releated to it from the default version of Ubuntu in preparation for installing a new DE? | 20:43 |
| ajshell1 | I'm asking because the regular GNOME Ubuntu seems to be the only one to offer ZFS on root installation options. | 20:44 |
| ThinkT510 | ajshell1: do you really need to remove gnome-shell? why not just install the DE you want and log into that? | 20:47 |
| sarnold | TheCowboy: I've seen someone do something *seriously* gross to address this | 20:48 |
| sarnold | TheCowboy: try asking in #snapcraft about this -- it feels like something they should had addressed by now | 20:48 |
| sarnold | TheCowboy: if they haven't, well, I've got an idea, but it's super-gross.. | 20:49 |
| TheCowboy | I'll try there, this seems like a significant limitation if not addressed as more packages become snaps | 20:50 |
| TheCowboy | thank you | 20:50 |
| ajshell1 | ThinkT510: I want ZFS on root installation with minimal effort for a virtual machine, Kubuntu doesn't offer that in the options, Ubuntu GNOME does. | 20:50 |
| micrex22 | you can always use JFS :3 | 20:53 |
| micrex22 | (I don't know if linux JFS is actually JFS2 or JFS1, there is conflicting information on that) | 20:54 |
| ajshell1 | On second thought, this isn't the best idea, since the host zpool and guest zpool are both called "rpool" by default. This is a disaster waiting to happen, especially since the guest pool is on a ZVOL. | 20:57 |
| ajshell1 | BTRFS it is, then. | 20:58 |
| sarnold | oh man, just wait until you find out that both hosts are known as 'localhost' | 20:58 |
| ajshell1 | There is actually an issue that you can run into if you have two identically named ZFS pools on the same system. I froget if it'll only import one or if it won't import either. | 21:00 |
| kZo | anyone have experience with setting up xbindkeys? Trying to get my mouse forward/backward buttons working. | 21:23 |
| kZo | just really looking for it in Chrome. I have checked online and many different ways of doing it, the couple options I've tried doesn't seem to work. | 21:24 |
| kZo | doesn't look like xbindkeys -k is getting any input. To make it worse, I'm using synergyc on my linux and synergy on my windows machine. Maybe it's synergy. | 21:27 |
| mesaboogie | kZo: boot to live usb ubuntu (without synergy) and test it straight up. elimination | 21:33 |
| mesaboogie | kZo: or just turn off synergy in your current setup | 21:34 |
| Somethin1 | Hi! I just restarted my 20.04 install, and suddenly can't find my ethernet connection. I'm on a desktop where I didn't need any drivers initially for my network card so I'm really confused | 21:37 |
| mesaboogie | Somethin1: settings | network | share screenshot | 21:39 |
| s98259 | Hi, I'm missing /etc/mysql, how do I restore it? | 21:39 |
| Somethin1 | https://imgur.com/a/NGi2Rxt | 21:40 |
| Somethin1 | It's just not there | 21:40 |
| mesaboogie | Somethin1: hrmph , strange one | 21:41 |
| Somethin1 | Wait I know what it was >:| | 21:41 |
| Somethin1 | i think | 21:41 |
| Somethin1 | I was following along with LFS and I edited my host /etc/network/interface instead of the chrooted one | 21:41 |
| Somethin1 | small brain moment | 21:41 |
| mesaboogie | s98259: that directory+files is supplied by mysql-common package. | 21:41 |
| Somethin1 | sorry | 21:41 |
| mesaboogie | Somethin1: what was it? | 21:41 |
| mesaboogie | Somethin1: ah | 21:41 |
| s98259 | Awesome, thanks, it worked. | 21:42 |
| mesaboogie | s98259: yw | 21:42 |
| Somethin1 | mesaboogie one question though, now that i've unbroken that file,, how do i apply changes? | 21:42 |
| mesaboogie | Somethin1: probably a reboot or a restart of network services | 21:43 |
| sarnold | Somethin1: /etc/network/interfaces is ignored unless you install the ifupdown package; note that this isn't officially supported on 20.04, so you're kind of on your own in case it doesn't work out well | 21:43 |
| mesaboogie | thanks sarnold for the clarification | 21:44 |
| kZo | mesaboogie: I just got it. The bindings weren't setup right. Stupid ' | 21:45 |
| mesaboogie | kZo: good job | 21:45 |
| kZo | I just needed to know how to call the bindings. Once I found the "right way" to set them up it was pretty easy. Just didn't know how to call them. | 21:45 |
| CrtxReavr | If I edit /etc/(passwd|shadow|group) files, what must be run to make those changes active on the system? | 22:27 |
| mlu | is there any quick way I can customize away the purple motif that's in the default install? | 22:28 |
| mlu | or is the purple kind of like the black in the Model T? | 22:28 |
| sarnold | CrtxReavr: they're live immediately, there's no database step as on other systems | 22:29 |
| CrtxReavr | sarnold, cool - thanks | 22:30 |
| mlu | in other words: I don't like the defaults for the desktop, are there other ones available, or should I bleach my eyes? | 22:30 |
| sarnold | mlu: there's a bunch of desktop environments if you just want something completely different; i3m, or lxde, or xfce, or lxqt, or kde, etc etc etc | 22:32 |
| sarnold | mlu: I don't know what's involved in making a new theme, or selecting a different theme, for the gnome-shell, but I assume there's some way to do that | 22:33 |
| mlu | cool, but nothing that's simply "pointy-clicky" right? | 22:35 |
| mlu | was wondering if I can like `apt install clearlooks` and make it look like Fedora | 22:35 |
| otis | go to fedora then | 22:36 |
| sarnold | heh, "apt-cache search clear look" returns some gtk 2 and 3 packages.. doesn't look promising | 22:38 |
| mlu | in practice, though, I'd probably just wait for a focal-based Mint to drop | 22:40 |
| CrtxReavr | sarnold, so the passwd-, shadow-, and group- are just backups? | 22:42 |
| sarnold | CrtxReavr: yes; they should be managed by vipw et al | 22:44 |
| sarnold | CrtxReavr: there's no equiv of mkpasword or pwd_mkdb, etc | 22:44 |
| CrtxReavr | Well. . . their docker container is ubuntu, so they can be overwritten with no extra step. | 22:45 |
| * CrtxReavr got confused what channel he was typing at. | 22:46 | |
| CrtxReavr | sarnold, thanks. | 22:46 |
| sarnold | CrtxReavr: you're welcome, have fun :) | 22:47 |

| flying_sausages | Hey guys, I upgraded to 20.04 and can't see Wireguard in the Gnome Network Manager. I'd like to import a .conf file for it. Any suggestions on whether I need to install some packages? I already have `wireguard` installed ha | 23:12 |
