[00:52] <ash_worksi> I can get less to stretch text across screens after i press the left arrow key, if I am at the 1st screen, it wraps lines... is there anyway around this behavior?
[00:52] <klu3> how do i stop ubuntu mate from going to sleep/screensaver when im watching a movie?  i have the option set to disable but the screen still goes blank after 10 minutes https://ibb.co/ZW5zm4j
[00:54] <klu3> hell how do i get rid of screensaver from my linux i want this thing gone
[01:06] <sarnold> klu3: you may wish to ask in #ubuntu-mate instead
[01:08] <Nullifi3d|Pi> quit
[01:17] <ash_worksi> \q
[01:17] <ash_worksi> oops
[01:32] <k_sze> Just me or hk.archive.ubuntu.com is down?
[01:36] <sarnold> k_sze: I can't get there either
[01:36] <k_sze> It's a CNAME for ftp.cuhk.edu.hk. Somebody knows the contact at CUHK?
[01:42] <k_sze> reported in #ubuntu-mirrors; switching mirror for now.
[01:45] <matix-io> Hey can anyone help me debug my NIC? It seems to just go down. Drops the wifi connection, but when i try to reconnect it seems like the interface is offline. Ive been rebooting to fix it but inevitably it happens again.
[01:54] <zenn> Hello Guys
[01:55] <zenn> how do I show remaining bluetooth battery for my wireless headphones?
[02:06] <curloxide> So is there an active file somewhere in the installation (maybe in /etc) that prints out kernel logs?
[02:07] <sarnold> curloxide: the dmesg command and journalctl commands will show you what's in the kernel message buffer; dmesg just the buffer, journalctl also historical entries
[02:07] <curloxide> Do they exit immediately?
[02:07] <sarnold> curloxide: /var/log/dmesg* files also have logs
[02:07] <curloxide> oho k
[02:07] <sarnold> curloxide: you may like journalctl -f
[02:08] <curloxide> What does it do, does it write the log to stdout?
[02:08] <curloxide> as it happens?
[02:12] <zenn> how do I show remaining bluetooth battery for my wireless headphones?
[02:12] <zenn> anybody ?
[02:14] <sarnold> curloxide: yes, it writes log entries to stdout, similar to tail -F
[02:18] <eelstrebor> is it my web browser, internet connection, dns issues that are causing web pages to occasionally not load completely and website can't be found? i'm using firefox and dnscrypt-proxy2 on my router
[02:19] <Biessie> Upgrading to the new LTS now, Wish me luck!
[02:19] <zenn> the new lts is awesome
[02:20] <zenn> I got of windows they improve ubuntu so much already and I love it
[02:20] <sarnold> zenn: heh, but I suspect windows probably made it easier to see the battery on bluetooth devices..
[02:20] <zenn> did ubuntu not did that ?
[02:21] <zenn> I mean android support too
[02:21] <sarnold> zenn: heh, that's the thing :) I've just been using my android phone for bluetooth because I'm scared of the linux bluetooth stack..
[02:21] <Biessie> Can i find a changelog anywheres?
[02:21] <zenn> meaning?
[02:21] <sarnold> Biessie: a lot of changes are on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes
[02:22] <sarnold> Biessie: but depending upon what you're running now, there may be other changes not mentioned there, from the previous releases
[02:22] <sarnold> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[02:22] <Biessie> awesome thank you
[02:22] <Biessie> coming from 19.10
[02:23] <sarnold> zenn: just some mild frustrations I've had trying to work with the linux bluetooth upstream devs :(
[02:23] <sarnold> Biessie: aha, then hopefully that one release notes is good enough :)
[02:23] <zenn> oh I see
[02:23] <zenn> are you a software developer?
[02:24] <sarnold> zenn: not really; I'm on the security team, I don't write much code, but I read a huge amount of it..
[02:24] <zenn> what about the issue I highlight yesterday?
[02:24] <zenn> the one that my ubuntu was not able to install without selecting safe graphics
[02:26] <sarnold> zenn: oh wow, that's all kinds of strange; it looks like nouveau graphics drivers problems for one frame in the video, but I thought we'd switched to using nvidia's drivers from the install media
[02:26] <zenn> well yeah
[02:27] <zenn> maybe you can highlight to the team about it
[02:28] <sarnold> zenn: best thing to do is file a bug -- if your system is up now, run ubuntu-bug ubiquity  -- and when you get to the form, describe problem, what you did to fix it, and upload that video
[02:29] <zenn> sarnold
[02:30] <zenn> do I have to install something?
[02:30] <sarnold> zenn: ubuntu-bug should just work
[02:30] <zenn> sudo ubuntu-bug?
[02:30] <sarnold> it should work fine without the sudo
[02:31] <zenn> alright will file a report
[02:31] <sarnold> thanks :)
[02:31] <sarnold> time for me to make some dinner, have fun :)
[02:33] <SomethingGeneric> Hi all! I'd been following some tutorials that were admittedly over my head about the basics of OS development
[02:33] <SomethingGeneric> I've learned my lesson. But now at some point, I seem to have switched the default assembler out, because I can't compile and run C for my ubuntu host, any more
[02:34] <sarnold> SomethingGeneric: I'm just now headed out, so just some short hints, hopefully it's enough..
[02:35] <sarnold> SomethingGeneric: dpkg -S `which as` reports binutils owns that file, so try apt-get install --reinstall binutils
[02:35] <sarnold> have fun :)
[02:35] <SomethingGeneric> Thanks! I'll give that a go
[02:36] <SomethingGeneric> That worked fine! Thanks, sarnold!
[02:58] <BananaManCJ> I have Ubuntu installed on a portable drive. I originally installed it on a 2017 iMac and sound was working fine. I then plugged the drive into another computer. Sound was working fine there. I then plugged it back into the Mac and the sound doesn't work anymore. How do I fix this? One thing I noticed is that it shows "Headphones" as an output source even though there aren't any plugged in. It was working before and just stopp
[02:58] <BananaManCJ> ed one day.
[03:02] <BananaManCJ> dmesg | grep snd doesn't show errors, I've reinstalled alsa and pulseaudio, added options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 to the alsa-base.conf file, removed the config files for pulseaudio, and other things
[03:04] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: iMac 27"?
[03:05] <BananaManCJ> 21.5"
[03:05] <BananaManCJ> iMac 18,2
[03:11] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: well, I suspect yours will be something to do with this option :: mine on a iMac 27" 17,1 is this [ option snd-hda-intel model=imac27 ] added to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[03:11] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: there are several options to do with imacs model=
[03:11] <BananaManCJ> I'll try it
[03:11] <mesaboogie> I am trying to find you the list
[03:11] <mesaboogie> ok
[03:12] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec
[03:12] <mesaboogie> tell me hwat it says
[03:12] <mesaboogie> what*
[03:12] <BananaManCJ> Codec: Cirrus Logic Generic
[03:13] <mesaboogie> Codec: Cirrus Logic CS4206
[03:13] <mesaboogie> mine
[03:13] <mesaboogie> You may be able to use the same exact line as mine
[03:13] <mesaboogie> after editing the file, reboot
[03:13] <BananaManCJ> So what exactly do you want me to do?
[03:13] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: I will be here searching for the other imac parameter for you just in case
[03:14] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: well, I suspect yours will be something to do with this option :: mine on a iMac 27" 17,1 is this [ option snd-hda-intel model=imac27 ] added to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[03:15] <mesaboogie> add the line [ option snd-hda-intel model=imac27 ] added to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot
[03:15] <mesaboogie> without the brackets []
[03:16] <totalnoob> Been out of Linux for years. Looking to install Ubuntu 20.04 on my new Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Can Ubuntu encrypt my whole drive if I dual boot? To dual boot, if I understand correctly, I need to disable Bitlocker in Windows.
[03:17] <mesaboogie> totalnoob: If windows is on the same drive as ubuntu I would say no to encrypting the whole drive, especially if you want your windows in a usable state. =)
[03:18] <BananaManCJ> Still no sound
[03:19] <mesaboogie> other amac options exist
[03:19] <mesaboogie> imac*
[03:20] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: give me a minute and I will find the list
[03:20] <BananaManCJ> It's just weird because it was working before
[03:21] <totalnoob> mesaboogie: thanks! Ok so I won't encrypt. Now, is it possible to still dual boot without turning off Bitlocker? Or does it become a pain and open the door to issues?
[03:21] <mesaboogie> totalnoob: you can still encrypt your ubuntu side of the house
[03:22] <mesaboogie> totalnoob: I know nothing about bitlocker
[03:23] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: that *working before* is how these imacs and any apple products act with sound issues, nothing new. mine did the same until I found te right options
[03:23] <BananaManCJ> Ok
[03:23] <mesaboogie> options snd-hda-intel model=intel-mac-auto
[03:23] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ: try that one ^^^
[03:27] <pi0> 0a5c:2020 Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth dongle --> how do i finding out the firmware on usb devices
[03:28] <BananaManCJ> Still no
[03:28] <mesaboogie> BananaManCJ:  This one and I am out of ideas :: [ options snd-hda-intel model=imac27_122 ]
[03:33] <BananaManCJ> Should I file a bug report or something
[03:45] <Psi-Jack> Firefox, for some reason, won't resolve local DNS anymore, and for things that I have an internal DNS for, resolves to the external IP rather than an internal IP. What has Firefox done to break this and anyone know how to unbreak it?\
[03:52] <Psi-Jack> Oh. Wow. Firefox did break it.
[03:52] <Psi-Jack> By implementing network.trr.mode to 2, which I believe does DNS over HTTPS?
[04:57] <matti> Psi-Jack: A value of 2, makes it try TRR first and then it would fall-back to normal OS resolver.
[04:57] <matti> Psi-Jack: If you don't want to use TRR or DoH, then set it to 5 :)
[05:28] <kenperkins> Psi-Jack: btw, I reinstalled 20.04 fresh on my x1, all the problems went away
[06:12] <clarkk> Is gufw the recommended way to configure a firewall on ubuntu 18.04?
[06:25] <CarlenWhite> Having issues with snap packages failing with "cannot self-bind mount /run/snapd/ns: Cannot allocate memory"
[06:26] <CarlenWhite> Investigating online, it seems to be a kernal issue for 5.5.X
[06:29] <CarlenWhite> And be my luck, https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D is down so I can't obtain mainline.
[06:29] <CarlenWhite> No wait, it decided it wanted to work.
[06:36] <ThinkT510> CarlenWhite: if you are running the default kernel you'd be on 5.4
[06:38] <CarlenWhite> I'm running on Focal.
[06:39] <CarlenWhite> Focal's supposed to be on 5.4?
[06:39] <ThinkT510> yes, 5.4 is default
[06:39] <luna_> 5.4.0.29 kernel on my focal
[06:39] <CarlenWhite> Sidenote, grabbed 5.5.0-050500rc7-generic. Snap packages are working
[06:39] <CarlenWhite> Huh.
[06:40] <CarlenWhite> I think I may have polluted something, somewhere.
[06:43] <CarlenWhite> Hm. Yeah I did do that. I have a 5.5 kernal marked as manually installed.
[06:46] <CarlenWhite> That bungle may also spawned some pains with my GPU.
[06:48] <younder> CarlenWhite, We fork in linux, do you spawning somewhere else ;)
[06:50] <makara> hi. How can I select gnome terminal profile using keyboard only? On Ubuntu MATE its alt+pgup/pgdn
[06:50] <CarlenWhite> Har. Well, I have cleaning up to do.
[07:01] <ducasse> makara: you can try #gnome, but you might have to ask in the official gnome channel
[07:08] <CarlenWhite> mesaboogie, I know this is belated, but I have experience with BitLocker; Dual booting with a BitLocker protected Windows and a LVM/LUKS protected Ubuntu will work fine, however booting into Windows with GRUB will trip BitLocker recovery. If possible, use your BIOS' boot device selection to avoid it.
[07:08] <CarlenWhite> Or rather, this is what I have to do on my system. Mileage may vary.
[07:10] <ledeni> makara: Settings -- Keyboard Shortcuts --and add your prefer shortcut combination for gnome-terminal
[07:10] <CarlenWhite> Speaking of, I need a nice tool to switch the efi nextboot var. Doing it in the terminal is fine, but something on the tray would be nice.
[07:16] <SmellyCat> I'm trying to install bitcoin-core (snap package) and I'm having trouble setting its datadir to a mounted partition. I get a "Permission denied", AppArmour related. Any tips?
[07:16] <SmellyCat> btw, on a headless server
[07:19] <younder> SmellyCat, well my cubeflow connects to a roc bucket server. Perhaps you could do that.
[07:22] <SmellyCat> younder, cubeflow? roc bucket? Even Google doesn't seem to know what you're talking about :) Could you elaborate?
[07:23] <younder> SmellyCat, https://www.rocsoftware.com/pages/rhapsody
[07:26] <makara> ledeni: ducasse: thx
[07:26] <SmellyCat> younder, no "sudo apt install roc-server" I presume?
[07:32] <makara> next question. Yesterday I replaced the primary disk (with full disk encryption) with an ssd. Now Im at home and i ask my colleague to plug it into the usb port. It doesn't show up as /dev/sdc as Id expect. Any ideas?
[07:36] <makara> false alarm. i see it
[07:36] <Baikonur> hey, can I use ubuntu cloud image to spin up my own server on a vm?
[07:36] <Baikonur> I mean, is it useful for that
[07:45] <Baikonur> supposedly it wants a cloud-init with it but I don't know what exactly wants to have supplied with it
[07:48]  * luna_ drinks tea and waits for Day 2 of RIPE 80 to start in 15 minutes
[08:09] <Baikonur> I guess no one has opinions on that
[08:47] <doomlist3> hi
[09:12] <ducasse> Baikonur: for cloud-init you'd better ask in #ubuntu-server
[09:18] <XaT> hi there :)
[09:18] <XaT> need help about preseed autoinstall : https://askubuntu.com/questions/1238696/preseed-autoinstall-does-not-work-on-20-04
[09:19] <Baikonur> oh there's an #ubuntu-server
[09:20] <XaT> (desktop for me :p)
[09:50] <C0nundrum> Hello
[09:58] <MICROburst> I installed postfix-mysql but there are no .sql files included. Is this like a dog biscuit, which doesn't include any dogs?
[09:59] <C0nundrum> How to i unmount / so that i can run a fsck repair ?
[09:59] <OERIAS> I have a problem
[10:01] <OERIAS> Is it is just me or is ubuntu 20.04 a lot slower at boot
[10:01] <OERIAS> ?
[10:01] <C0nundrum> do i just ro everything in fstab ?
[10:05] <ducasse> C0nundrum: why not just boot from a live usb?
[10:07] <C0nundrum> no cd drive
[10:08] <ducasse> can't you boot from usb?
[10:18] <trackball> how does one restrict who can change root's password?
[10:22] <ducasse> 🖲 only root or sudo-enabled users can do that
[10:23] <ducasse> or anyone with physical access
[10:23] <trackball> ducasse: yes, i realize that. what i'm trying to prevent is for sudo-enabled users to change password for root, without losing capability to change their own passwords
[10:24] <ducasse> if they can call passwd with sudo, you can't prevent that
[11:27] <nohop> I haven't booted my laptop in a while, and it's running 19.04.  it looks like all the repositories for it have just disappeared of the internet? :)
[11:28] <nohop> (There seem to be no disco entries in, for example, us.archive.ubuntu.com anymore)
[11:28] <nohop> Is there any way I can still upgrade at all? Reinstalling seems silly.
[11:29] <nohop> !sources disco
[11:29] <nohop> ... wasn't that a thing? :)
[11:32] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:34] <yawkat> nohop: maybe try http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
[11:34] <nohop> Ah, thanks.
[11:35]  * steinbach greets
[11:35] <nohop> Is there a reason Ubuntu removes things from repositories so soon after they're out of support? Seems to me that there's no harm in just leaving it accessible.
[11:35] <nohop> It just makes upgrading a pain, because you'll have to manually update your sources list and stuff.
[11:55] <sloth_on_meth> so i have a B75 MSI MOTHERBOARD, with a I3-3240 and 16gb of DDR3. I tried swapping in a Xeone3 1270 yesterday, but the system would not boot. I could not look at any output since the system does not have a GPU, and the Xeon does not have an IGPU. im running ubuntu server 20.0?
[11:56] <sloth_on_meth> i did get fanspin etc, but the system would not come online for pings. I've swapped the CPU in the past and it worked without a hitch, so i suspect it has something to do with ubuntu server not wanting to boot without GPU
[12:19] <younder> I'm using 18.04. The popup menu for network on the right now shows two entries instead of just one. The other RJ54 connector is not connected to anything. Is this a new feature?
[12:21] <faLUCE> hello, which is the easiest way to play a Blu-ray on 18.04 ?
[12:31] <cnnx> I can't get ubuntu to login automatically
[12:31] <cnnx> even if I set the option in users to automatic login for my user
[12:31] <cnnx> it asks for the password and doesnt even login
[12:31] <cnnx> is this a bug?
[12:45] <cnnx> fixed it
[12:45] <cnnx> https://askubuntu.com/questions/1229821/login-loop-after-installing-20-04
[12:46] <jeremy31> faLUCE: You might need MakeMKV to play blu rays
[12:59] <chaosfisch> Hi, I'm having trouble with my audio output, which only works after restarting the system. Following: I use a combined jack for output + microphone. This works if not plugged in during boot. It works flawlessly the whole day until switching output devices. Once switching back I can see sound input from the mic, but output is not working from Sounds
[12:59] <chaosfisch> test panel.
[13:00] <chaosfisch> Disconnecting / reconnecting the device has no effect. I get the dialog asking what device was connected - I select Headset, as per usual - but output does not work.
[13:05] <chaosfisch> Okay, seems like `systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service` helped
[13:13] <ptux> hi. i upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 but now i've no sounds. any help, pls?
[13:14] <ptux> i removed and purged then installed again alsa-base and pulseaudio, but nothing
[13:18] <faLUCE> jeremy31: yes, I'm just making a mkv through makemkv. But will the quality be preserved?
[13:19] <jeremy31> faLUCE: The quality is pretty good.  I haven't used it in a while
[13:21] <Psi-Jack> ptux: "please" not "pls", for starters. :)
[13:21] <Psi-Jack> faLUCE: Doing any kind of transcoding at all?
[13:22] <faLUCE> Psi-Jack: this is my suspect
[13:22] <faLUCE> but it seems that it doesn't transcode
[13:23] <ptux> Psi-Jack, ok
[13:26] <etronik> hey all, I'm setting up Git server on my desktop and following instructions at: https://www.andrewhoog.com/post/howto-setup-a-private-git-server-on-ubuntu-18.04/  but I'm stumped at step 5 because I'm getting "connection refused" on ssh connection to localhost... TIA for any help!
[13:32] <XaT> Anyone sucessed at autoinstall desktop thourgh preseed ? ;D
[13:50] <faLUCE> I'm trying to make a mkv from a blu-ray with mkv, but it gives me errors: Title #00004.mpls has length of 82 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped  ... how can I fix it?
[13:51] <etronik> faLUCE, maybe some multimedia channel would be better ?? they are more knowledgeble about those issues
[13:52] <faLUCE> etronik: which channel, for example?
[13:53] <etronik> faLUCE, sorry can't help you.... you'd have to search for it :-)
[13:53] <etronik> have you tried googling ?
[13:54] <etronik> google "less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped"
[14:04] <etronik> ssh to localhost is returning "connection refused" - any tips ? TIA
[14:04] <steinbach> check firewall rules
[14:04] <etronik> I don't know how...
[14:05] <etronik> steinbach, you mean iptables outout ? can't read that thing
[14:05] <etronik> or better, don't know enough to read that thing
[14:06] <steinbach> sudo iptables -S
[14:06] <steinbach> sudo ip6tables -S
[14:06] <makara> i had to revert a remmina snap on my work machine. Now I install remmina snap on my home machine for the first time, and I can't revert. How can I install a specific revision?
[14:07] <makara> a specific version rather
[14:08] <steinbach> makara: sorry I don't use remmina
[14:09] <makara> its nothing to do with the software
[14:09] <steinbach> also... i use pf, not iptables
[14:10] <taz> Hello, i'm in trouble with my wireless connection adapter (i run the lastest version of ubuntu) with a Lenovo Yoga. Tried this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-troubleshooting-hardware-check.html#not-recognized , but my wireless adapter isn't in any of the commands. Can you guys help ?
[14:10] <DrMedRasen> Hi, i have a small legal question regarding ubuntu
[14:11] <DrMedRasen> if i use ubuntu as a base image for a virtual appliance
[14:11] <ocean> etronik: do you have package openssh-server installed?
[14:11] <DrMedRasen> can i sell that virtual appliance then or what restrictions to i have ?
[14:12] <etronik> ocean, yes I do
[14:12] <etronik> steinbach, looking over the rules
[14:12] <DrMedRasen> i can see from the license that its mentioned: "Any redistribution of modified versions of Ubuntu must be approved..."
[14:12] <DrMedRasen> however the image is not modified
[14:12] <DrMedRasen> we basically install apps on top of the image
[14:13] <etronik> steinbach, output of iptables here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/w2KZfnXBVy/   - I can't read this thing
[14:13] <DrMedRasen> question here is does "modified" version of Ubuntu mean, when the source code has been modified ? Or does is it also modified when packages and something is installed on top ?
[14:13] <ocean> etronik: see the output of sudo netstat -anp |grep ssh, you should see (in the top) something like 0.0.0.0:22 (and/or LISTEN pid/sshd)
[14:15] <etronik> ocean, thanks, output is:  unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     37216    1872/systemd         /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh

[14:15] <makara> is there like a maven central for snaps?

[14:16] <etronik> ocean, I'm on 18.04
[14:16] <ocean> looks like there is no ssh server installed
[14:17] <etronik> sam@sam-desktop:~/devwork/wpstg$ sudo apt-cache policy openssh-server

[14:17] <etronik> ocean, shouldn't I use systemctl
[14:17] <etronik> ocean, shouldn't I use systemctl ?
[14:18] <etronik> got it ! it's working
[14:19] <steinbach> etronik: great news
[14:19] <etronik> ocean, the command was:  sudo systemctl start ssh
[14:19] <etronik> weird huh ?
[14:19] <steinbach> lmao... that was so simple... i did not expect it was that
[14:20] <ocean> etronik: there you go
[14:20] <steinbach> etronik: please do a "sudo systemctl enable ssh"
[14:20] <steinbach> si it automatically starts everytime you boot
[14:20] <steinbach> so*
[14:21] <etronik> steinbach, I never saw that command, always saw it the way ocean stated... who'd know ?
[14:21] <quadrathoch2> DrMedRasen: it should mean only source code, but honestly not 100% sure
[14:22] <etronik> anyway , I can establish connection, but can't connect because I setup git user w/o a password
[14:22] <DrMedRasen> quadrathoch2 exactly :-) i am not sure as well but obviously i need to be sure :-)
[14:23] <quadrathoch2> DrMedRasen: hm, on the other hand, are you distributing your modifications?
[14:28] <DrMedRasen> lets say for instance i want to have a virtual appliance that converts video files as example
[14:29] <DrMedRasen> i would use an ubuntu image as starting point
[14:29] <DrMedRasen> install my programmed application
[14:30] <DrMedRasen> and then i would distribute that appliance
[14:30] <DrMedRasen> so users could convert video files
[14:30] <quadrathoch2> hm, I wouldn't see it as a problem, as this is what literally docker hub for example does
[14:58] <SnoopJeDi> I've done an in-place upgrade of a 16.04 system to 19.10 by way of 18.04, and it looks like something's gone wrong, my apt is complaining about some xenial packages "to be installed" instead. If I do `apt --fix-broken install`, it wants to remove 267 packages that look like basically my whole system. Is there a way out of this bind, short of a reinstall?
[15:09] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: how did you do the upgrade?
[15:10] <tomreyn> or upgradeS rather.
[15:10] <SnoopJeDi> Using do-release-upgrade twice, once from 16.04 and once from 18.04
[15:10] <tomreyn> good. did both seem to finish without fatal errors?
[15:12] <SnoopJeDi> They seemed to go well enough, although the second seems to have snagged on mostly python3.7 stuff. Here's an example of what I get when trying to install vim: http://ix.io/2lTw
[15:13] <tomreyn> please run this and post the url it returns, it won't modify your system:  sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -y update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 </tmp/aptlog && rm /tmp/aptlog
[15:14] <SnoopJeDi> https://termbin.com/2yqq
[15:14] <tomreyn> also this: cat /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list} 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999
[15:14] <SnoopJeDi> https://termbin.com/0ntq for that one. I did modify that with a search-and-replace, swapping "eoan" in for "xenial," while trying to see if I could bludgeon my way out of the hole here.
[15:16] <tomreyn> so when this system was on xenial (16.04), you seem to have had a PPA providing those python 3.7 backports to xenial. this ppa is no longer configured apparently, but packages are still installed from back then.
[15:16] <tomreyn> these packages have higher version numbers than those python 3.7 packages in eoan (19.10), so they didn't get overwritten, yet
[15:17] <tomreyn> s/overwritten/replaced/
[15:17] <genii> so "dependency Hell"
[15:17] <tomreyn> yes, don't do this, you're lucky these upgrades worked out
[15:17] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: ^
[15:17] <SnoopJeDi> I promise it wasn't me, it's a hand-me-down work machine :)
[15:18] <SnoopJeDi> I do all my python dev stuff using pyenv because I don't trust ubuntu to get it right anyway ;)
[15:18] <SnoopJeDi> Any way I can flush out the backport and get the packages eoan wants for itself?
[15:19] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: you can (try to) apply the changes       apt dist-upgrade    is trying to apply.
[15:19] <tomreyn> hold back if it's more than 10 packages, though
[15:20] <SnoopJeDi> It looks like it's snagged on just those three, but my apt-fu is a little weak here. I've tried various install/upgrade/remove invocations to try and do what I think you're telling me, but without much luck. Any tips?
[15:21] <tomreyn> Can you show the output of     apt --fix-broken --assume-no install
[15:21] <tomreyn> make this apt-get, sorry
[15:22] <tomreyn> actually my apt foo is broken, too
[15:22] <SnoopJeDi> Seems to produce the same output either way. http://ix.io/2lTA
[15:22] <tomreyn> hmm plenty
[15:22] <genii> If you know which files they are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ you can sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite or --force-depends them
[15:22] <alterego> Anyone know why I can no longer change the orientation of a screen in display settings since updating to 20.04?
[15:23] <SnoopJeDi> Yea, enough to make me scared and come here asking for help :)
[15:24] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: is this meant to be a server or desktop like computer? bascially headless or headful?
[15:25] <SnoopJeDi> interactive workstation, so the latter.
[15:25] <SnoopJeDi> I would very much like to keep X :)
[15:25] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: install the corresponding meta package first of all: ubuntu-desktop
[15:25] <tomreyn> oh that'S already installed, i missed it
[15:26] <SnoopJeDi> Version 1.440.1 FWIW
[15:26] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: so let's try this: install apt-forktracer (if you can install anything right now) and let's see its output
[15:26] <SnoopJeDi> I can't :(
[15:26] <tomreyn> same error? ok
[15:27] <SnoopJeDi> Very much deadlocked, it seems. I guess I will need to fix those deps, perhaps using genii's suggestion, or some manual dpkg trickery if I can get it to just nuke the Python that's there.
[15:29] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: let's try this:    apt-get install -fV -t eoan libpython3.7-stdlib=3.7.5-2~19.10ubuntu1 libpython3.7-minimal=3.7.5-2~19.10ubuntu1
[15:29] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: if it prompts, share the output before applying it
[15:30] <SnoopJeDi> http://ix.io/2lTE
[15:31] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: looks fine
[15:32] <SnoopJeDi> once applied, I get http://ix.io/2lTF
[15:33] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: sudo apt-get --purge remove python3.7-distutils    does what?
[15:34] <SnoopJeDi> Spews the unmet deps error
[15:35] <SnoopJeDi> Doesn't seem to have done anything
[15:35] <tomreyn> can you show the full output, please
[15:36] <SnoopJeDi> of course. http://ix.io/2lTH
[15:37] <tomreyn> hmm i guess you will need to force overwriting the file then
[15:38] <tomreyn> apt-get install -fV --force-overwrite -t eoan libpython3.7-stdlib=3.7.5-2~19.10ubuntu1
[15:39] <SnoopJeDi> Doesn't seem to like the --force-overwrite: "E: Command line option --force-overwrite is not understood in combination with the other options"
[15:39] <tomreyn> sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libpython3.7-stdlib_3.7.5-2~19.10ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[15:40] <tomreyn> this is what genii suggested 20 minutes ago, but i like to be conservative about --force
[15:40] <SnoopJeDi> Yea, fair enough. Looks like it snags on libpython3.7-minimal: http://ix.io/2lTK
[15:41] <tomreyn> dpkg --configure -a
[15:41] <SnoopJeDi> Yea, just did --configure on that pkg, it succeeded. Let me do -a
[15:42] <SnoopJeDi> Well hey, whaddya know, looks like I have a working apt now! :)
[15:43] <tomreyn> until you hit the next problem for the same root cause, yes
[15:43] <SnoopJeDi> And autoremove only wants to get rid of a few stragglers. Thank you tomreyn for the patient hand-holding (and thanks to genii as well!)
[15:43] <SnoopJeDi> Yea, I will try and flush this backport out if I can, I'd much much rather have the intended Python than some ancient backport
[15:43] <SnoopJeDi> Especially since I was originally *trying* to get to 20.04 :)
[15:43] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: you want to apt-get -f install
[15:43] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: and then install apt-forktracer and share its output
[15:45] <SnoopJeDi> http://ix.io/2lTN
[15:45] <tomreyn> in the future, when in a similar situation, first remove any PPA's using ppa-purge, then manually clean up apt sources, then do full-upgrade, then install and run apt-forktracer *before* you do a release upgrade.
[15:46] <SnoopJeDi> Good to know for when/if I bother with trying to actually get to the LTS
[15:46] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: and obviously you'll need to learn how to interpret its output.
[15:46] <SnoopJeDi> I took a very quick scan at the man page just now, this is showing me packages in a "non-standard" state?
[15:47] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: if you look at http://ix.io/2lTN you'll see lines with just version numbers in round parantheses. those are 'foreign' packages, where it's not clear how or where they were installed. you will want to get rid of any of those where you don'T know for sure you still need them.
[15:48] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: packages installed directly as .deb files would be listed like this
[15:49] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: that's unless there is also an apt repository configured which knows about this package, in which case you'll also see square brackets on that line.
[15:49] <SnoopJeDi> Makes sense. A good number of those are nvidia things, which are hardly sane all on their own before something as hinky as an upgrade
[15:49] <SirTalksAlot> Hello
[15:49] <SirTalksAlot> I am new to ubuntu
[15:49] <SnoopJeDi> tomreyn, format I'm guessing is [PPA: pkg version info]?
[15:49] <SirTalksAlot> and need help
[15:49] <tomreyn> on the square brackets you'll see those package versions available from configured apt repos.
[15:49] <SirTalksAlot> actually nvm mind it worked for me
[15:50] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: right. so if you have a line with both round and square brackets you'll want to ensure that the versionn    (installed)   amtches a good apt repository [souprce: version]
[15:50] <daedeloth> I'm looking for a tool to quickly sort a bunch of picture and then do something to the files to keep that in order (for example add a numeric prefix)
[15:50] <SnoopJeDi> Well, I think I've got what I need to get back to work things. Thanks very much for the patient assistance tomreyn.
[15:51] <SnoopJeDi> apt-forktracer is a nice trick, I'll have to remember that one the next time I dig myself into a hole :)
[15:51] <tomreyn> SnoopJeDi: you're welcome. and once you're done with this, inspect    ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported
[15:52] <tomreyn> (where "unsupported" cn mean community supported)
[15:52] <tomreyn> *can mean
[15:52] <SnoopJeDi> Some 35% of my system! These are great little recipes for figuring out what's not "from the factory" though. Very good advice to make sure as much of it is in order as possible before a release upgrade
[15:52] <SnoopJeDi> In hindsight, it does seem I got very lucky that it worked at all :)
[15:53] <tomreyn> right :)
[15:53] <SnoopJeDi> Being able to in-place upgrade at all still feels pretty magical to me, so all things considered I'm still rather pleased, and now I can get the rest of the dang thing working the way I want.
[15:56] <iconoclasthero> is there a channel for getting help with boot issues?
[15:59] <oerheks> iconoclasthero, ubuntu boot issue?
[15:59] <iconoclasthero> yes.
[16:02] <iconoclasthero> brb
[16:13] <iconoclasthero> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/y4jtYbRjx9
[16:14] <iconoclasthero> i want it to boot to 20.04 on sda8...which it did, after a fashion.  right now i'm looking at 1/4 of my monitors in 640x480.
[16:14] <oerheks> output says: Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda1/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file!
[16:15] <iconoclasthero> yeah, well that's great and all, but BIOS tells me what options I have not the other way round.
[16:15] <iconoclasthero> and I cannot tell it to use sda1 or hd0,gpt1 /EFI/ubuntu/shmx64.efi or anything else.
[16:15] <iconoclasthero> it just says "ubuntu"
[16:15] <oerheks> well, uefi is bound to the 1st efi partition on the disk.
[16:16] <iconoclasthero> i'm assuming the entry "ubuntu" corresponds to 1st efi partition on the disk.
[16:16] <iconoclasthero> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6DF6YDTZmR/
[16:17] <iconoclasthero> uname -r:  5.4.0-29-generic
[16:17] <iconoclasthero> this was working fine yesterday morning but it wasn't booting to sda8 on startup which i needed to correct.
[16:18] <iconoclasthero> now, when i can get back into sda8, it is a barely-functional version.
[16:18] <shinobi_> Is there anything better than gapcmon for monitoring UPS?
[16:18] <iconoclasthero> i am so sick of looking at the stupid background on the boot-repair iso...
[16:21] <entourage> is there some sort of a RAM Drive functionality built in to Ubuntu??
[16:21] <iconoclasthero> entourage what do you want to do with a ram drive?
[16:21] <iconoclasthero> just manipulate/store files in RAM?
[16:21] <entourage> iconoclasthero, fast temporary storage
[16:21] <iconoclasthero> i just make a cache directory in /dev/shm
[16:21] <Bliepo> ramfs or tmpfs will is what you probably want entourage
[16:21] <iconoclasthero> it doesn't write anything to disk and i have more than enough ram for most everything i do in it.
[16:22] <entourage> Bliepo, how do I access those
[16:22] <gst568923> Hi, I use this command `youtube-dl -f 'best' --hls-use-mpegts -o "$output_filename" "$video_url"` and I would like to known if it is correct interrupt manualy the video with `CTRL-C`?
[16:22] <iconoclasthero> https://superuser.com/questions/45342/when-should-i-use-dev-shm-and-when-should-i-use-tmp
[16:22] <Bliepo> https://www.jamescoyle.net/knowledge/951-the-difference-between-a-tmpfs-and-ramfs-ram-disk and http://www.jamescoyle.net/how-to/943-create-a-ram-disk-in-linux
[16:24] <entourage> I wish I could create a RAM Disk without having to use the CLI
[16:26] <iconoclasthero> uhh...
[16:26] <iconoclasthero> you can.
[16:26] <iconoclasthero> just create a folder in /dev/shm/
[16:29] <entourage> huh?
[16:29] <iconoclasthero> in my implementation, i use /dev/shm/cache...  to make it easier, I have an alias:
[16:29] <iconoclasthero> alias cache='if ! [[ -d /dev/shm/cache ]]; then mkdir -p /dev/shm/cache; fi; cd /dev/shm/cache; pwd'
[16:29] <iconoclasthero> and then i've also created a ~/cache symlink to /dev/shm/cache.
[16:29] <iconoclasthero> if you don't want to use the command line, you just open the folder /dev/shm/ and make a directory.
[16:30] <entourage> then what?
[16:31] <iconoclasthero> then use that directory for your files.
[16:32] <iconoclasthero> done.
[16:35] <entourage> it sounds too simple to work
[16:36] <bitblit> after upgrading to 20.04 I'm unable to playback video. this a known issue? on intel broadwell using smplayer/mpv.
[16:36] <iconoclasthero> from the command line:
[16:36] <iconoclasthero> mkdir /dev/shm/cache
[16:36] <iconoclasthero> ln -s /dev/shm/cache ~
[16:36] <GR1M0R4CL3> hello
[16:36] <iconoclasthero> then you will have a ~/cache directory that links back to /dev/shm/cache
[16:37] <entourage> if I create a RAM Disk I don't want anything written to the physical disk ofc
[16:37] <iconoclasthero> that link will persist after rebooting but you will need to actually go back and create /dev/shm/cache after each boot...
[16:37] <iconoclasthero> yes, that is the idea of a ram disk
[16:38] <entourage> I'm not at all comfortable with using the CLI
[16:38] <iconoclasthero> i got that loud and clear already...
[16:39] <iconoclasthero> however, i don't know how to do it GUI
[16:39] <iconoclasthero> except just using the file browser thing to navigate to /dev/shm and creating a directory there.
[16:40] <iconoclasthero> and that directory gets removed when you reboot.
[16:40] <iconoclasthero> and of course, if you never use the CLI, you're never going to get better at/more comfortable with it.
[16:41] <iconoclasthero> so, if you want to try, open a terminal and type mkdir /dev/shm/cache
[16:42] <iconoclasthero> then:
[16:42] <iconoclasthero> ln -s /dev/shm/cache ~
[16:43] <entourage> nope
[16:43] <iconoclasthero> then you have a "cache" directory in your home directory that links back to the tmpfs at /dev/shm/cache
[16:43] <iconoclasthero> well, as dorothy parker said, you can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think.
[16:44] <entourage> I'm new to Linux and I must say that what I dislike the most is the constant need to use the CLI
[16:45] <entourage> coming from Windows I'm not used to that
[16:45] <iconoclasthero> then i hazard to say that for the types of things you want to do (e.g., ram disks) linux might not be the best choice.
[16:46] <iconoclasthero> if you want to be a power user in linux the CLI is seemingly ineveitable
[16:47] <entourage> in Windows I could use a RAM Disk without having to become a power user and that's my point
[16:47] <iconoclasthero> then use windows?
[16:47] <vNistelroot> hi guys! I have been googling about it and already tried some of the solutions provided but no luck. I´m running Ubuntu 16.04 and I want to disable CTRL+ALT+T for opening a new terminal, how could I do that via command line? I have no access to the GUI menu such as System Preferences-Keyboard-Shortcuts. What I tried so far is tweaking xorg.conf and gsettings commands
[16:49] <t3ddY8> In ubuntu 20.04: Settings, Keyboard Shortcuts, remove ctrl,atl,T shortcut for terminal
[16:51] <oerheks> vNistelroot, so if you are in TTY now, ctrl-alt-t does not work anyway.. https://askubuntu.com/questions/133718/how-do-i-unbind-ctrl-alt-t
[16:54] <eelstrebor> is there a way to turn off gaming mouse rgb lighting? the manual doesn't show a way to do that
[16:54] <GR1M0R4CL3> has anyone seen IntelliJ freeze and kill Gnome ? Loaded a big project in IntelliJ and everything freezes and I am thrown back at the login screen. Nothing visible in /var/crash and if I dont launch IntelliJ no freeze seems to happen :/
[16:55] <iconoclasthero> entourage:  ps - in my definition of power user, anyone who knows what a ram disk is, wants to use one, knows the pros/cons of doing so, and knows how it works, etc., is a power user
[16:56] <barneygale> Hi folks. My system keeps freezing, possibly SSD related, requiring a hard reboot (ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing etc). How can I debug the issue? Are there kernel logs from the previous boot?
[16:56] <GR1M0R4CL3> you have to ssh from another machine, display every log in tail -f and see what logs show when it freezes :/
[16:59] <Sven_vB> also if someone wants GUIs for anything in linux, they're free to buy them, or hire someone to create them. (Query me for offers.)
[16:59] <tomreyn> barneygale: which ubuntu release are you running there? lsb_release -ds
[16:59] <Sven_vB> GR1M0R4CL3, a d
[16:59] <Sven_vB> GR1M0R4CL3, sorry
[17:00] <barneygale> tomreyn: Xenial
[17:00] <collinanderson> all i want to do is verify crontab syntax via command line... how hard can it be?!?!
[17:01] <SomethingGeneric> collinanderson, when you edit crontab with `crontab -e`, it'll tell you if you'e used selectors in an invalid way. If you mean check when the entry will be run, I use crontab.guru personally
[17:01] <collinanderson> it's impossible, right?
[17:01] <GR1M0R4CL3> you can stop then restart cron
[17:01] <GR1M0R4CL3> and see if it spits out errors ?
[17:01] <collinanderson> right, but i want to install a file in /etc/cron.d/
[17:02] <Sven_vB> barneygale, in case your computer is a battery-equipped device, what model and make is the computer?
[17:02] <barneygale> Sven_vB: it's a desktop PC, custom build. Been fine for a couple years; problem started a few weeks ago.
[17:03] <Sven_vB> collinanderson, you could test with cron in a chroot
[17:04] <GR1M0R4CL3> have you searched the log for cron errors ? something like : sudo grep "cron.d" /var/log/syslog
[17:05] <Sven_vB> collinanderson, if it manages to write to disk still, you can read the logs on that disk from a system that won't automatically clean or rotate them, e.g. another computer or other OS or live CD. just sort the files in what would have been /var/log by modification date.
[17:05] <Sven_vB> collinanderson, sorry meant barneygale
[17:05] <GR1M0R4CL3> or : sudo grep "cron.d" /var/log/syslog | grep -i error
[17:07] <collinanderson> yeah, but i have then i have to put a 60 second delay i my script or something?
[17:07] <sarnold> SomethingGeneric: sweet! thanks for reporting back :)
[17:08] <collinanderson> ok, i guess "sudo systemctl restart cron && sudo systemctl status cron" seems to kind of work
[17:08] <barneygale> Sven_vB: syslog has nothing to say :( no errors logged, resumes with the fresh boot.
[17:09] <SomethingGeneric> sarnold, it worked fine & i felt bad bc i turned off and rebooted w/o saying thanks lol
[17:09] <sarnold> SomethingGeneric: hehe, that's quite alright, I was off mkaing dinner by then anyway :D (it was good but not as good as my favourite restaurants *sigh*)
[17:10] <SomethingGeneric> sarnold, yeah, that's how it's going rn
[17:10] <Sven_vB> barneygale, maybe gcrontab can help
[17:12] <Sven_vB> sorry for messing up addressing so much. I'll defer IRC until I'm more awake.
[17:13] <sarnold> SomethingGeneric: yup :(
[17:15] <SomethingGeneric> I've got another question for you all. Part Ubuntu and part PC hardware. I've had the same Samsung 256gb ssd since like 2011 when I built this machine. Now, my installed Ubuntu claims that my SSD has *two* 256GB paritions on the one disk, which obv can't happen when the *entire disk* is only 256gb. Is that some warning sign that the flash chips might be about to die on me?
[17:16] <genii> BTRFS formatted drives also sometimes report lke this
[17:16] <SomethingGeneric> genii I've reinstalled Ubuntu twice with ext4 and still the same, though
[17:16] <sruli> SomethingGeneric: where do u see the 2 partitions? paste the output of "lsblk | grep -v loop" to https://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste link here
[17:16] <vNistelroot> oerheks: Let me elaborate, TTY is the only way I can switch configs that could affect CTRL+ALT+T
[17:17] <vNistelroot> I have no access to the underlying OS X11 configuration or main Desktop
[17:18] <oerheks> vNistelroot, you need a browser to red your answer https://askubuntu.com/questions/133718/how-do-i-unbind-ctrl-alt-t
[17:18] <oerheks> c/read
[17:18] <SomethingGeneric> genii, here's the pase: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kG8Mmpbwx3/
[17:18] <SomethingGeneric> It's even more confusing using your command than the "Disks" app
[17:19] <SomethingGeneric> oh sorry, meant to say sruli
[17:21] <sruli> SomethingGeneric: u have 4 physical storage devices (some might be network) but you only have 1 x 232GB partition, where did u  see 2 x 256gb?
[17:22] <SomethingGeneric> sruli, that was in the "Disks" app. The output seems to indicate that some third 1K partition exists, though?
[17:22] <vNistelroot> oerheks: thank you, these settings are the ones I tried without luck. But I think is the way I need to follow, when I issue the gsettings command the OS says that there is no such setting. To provide more background: gsettings was not installed and I had to install it in order to try that way
[17:23] <sruli> SomethingGeneric: yes you have a 1K partition, not used for anything, u can ignore it i suspect what you are seeing in Disks app is the 256GB drive and in it a 256GB partition
[17:23] <oerheks> sure it is there, org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys terminal '<Primary><Alt>t'  to '[]'
[17:24] <vNistelroot> checking again! thkz
[17:24] <sruli> SomethingGeneric: if u want you can paste a screenshot of the Disks app here https://onpaste.com/
[17:25] <SomethingGeneric> sruli yeah just in case lmao
[17:29] <SomethingGeneric> sruli, sorry, Brave was breaking onpaste. https://i.imgur.com/E8dqo1A.png
[17:31] <sruli> SomethingGeneric: are you using LVM? i guess the extended partition is the LVM and in that you have the EXT4 partition
[17:32] <oerheks> extended is not a partition, just space reserved
[17:32] <SomethingGeneric> sruli, I didn't tell the installer to use LVM. That's the beta thing they said not do do, right?
[17:33] <ecbrown> SomethingGeneric: iirc, LVM is "advanced" and ZFS is "advanced" and additionally "experimental"
[17:34] <SomethingGeneric> Ok. I just told it to "use entire disk" so I figured I wouldn't get any weird parition nonsense. At the end of the day, it's weird, but not concerning... right?
[17:35] <tomreyn> barneygale: sorry, got side tracked. xenial keeps logs in /var/log/syslog*
[17:35] <tomreyn> !smart | barneygale
[17:35] <barneygale> tomreyn: nothing useful in there I'm afraid. Just logs of the system coming back up.
[17:35] <barneygale> SMART doesn't indicate anything wrong as far as I can tell
[17:36] <ecbrown> SomethingGeneric: that should work
[17:38] <SomethingGeneric> ecbrown, what do u mean?
[17:48] <tomreyn> barneygale: if it's a server or workstation (server-like desktop) computer you may have something like a hardware error log available from the pre-boot firmware configuration environment.
[17:56] <ChristW> Can anyone help me debug adding a specific URL scheme handler? I have an application (Using Wine) that knows how to handle a certain URL scheme, but I can't get clicking one of the special URLs from Chromium to work.
[17:57] <Neo> howdy everyone, I just installed a fresh copy of focal server in virtualbox. /etc/network/interfaces is empty, what's the reccomended means to configure network interfaces now?
[17:59] <Eickmeyer> Neo: Probably best to ask in #ubuntu-server.
[18:01] <Neo> roger that Eickmeyer
[18:10] <sparr> I'm having trouble with missing packages after doing an apt-get update: STDERR: E: Failed to fetch http://us-west-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qtbase-opensource-src/libqt5core5a_5.9.5+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb
[18:17] <Neo> sparr: oh wow even after doing an apt update? that url is 404ing for me as well
[18:22] <GR1M0R4CL3> failed to fetch can happen and it usually tries to find the package on another mirror. did that happen or is the package totally missing ?
[18:35] <Yatekii> hey folks!
[18:35] <oerheks> sparr, run apt update, current is libqt5core5a_5.9.5+dfsg-0ubuntu2.5_amd64.deb
[18:35] <oerheks> 2.5, 2.3 is gone
[18:36] <sparr> I've run apt-get update some seconds before this install attempt :/
[18:36] <sparr> this is in a script, so I'm gonna throw some `apt-cache show` in there
[18:36] <sparr> what other commands can I put in to get it to tell me the current state of the package list? when it was updated, where it came from, etc
[18:37] <sparr> This is 18.04, btw
[18:37] <oerheks> better look at your script?
[18:37] <Yatekii> I made the mistake and installed the jlink tools via a .deb file in the "ubuntu software" panel. now the package is somehow broken and clicking "uninstall" wont uninstall it :/ can any1 hel'p me? :/ it is not listed in apt list --installed
[18:38] <sparr> Is there a command that will confirm that `apt-get update` ran to completion recently?
[18:39] <GR1M0R4CL3> you can purge a package i think
[18:39] <sarnold> sparr: I always run apt update && apt upgrade
[18:39] <GR1M0R4CL3> should remove everything
[18:39] <GR1M0R4CL3> or perhaps reinstall it ?
[18:39] <oerheks> i do apt update / apt dist-upgrade # to prevent surprises
[18:40] <GR1M0R4CL3>  i always do apt update then apt upgrade
[18:40] <GR1M0R4CL3> what does the dist-upgrade do compared to upgrade ?
[18:42] <oerheks> it might bring in packages that are held back, kernels or system critical patches that needs a restart
[18:42] <GR1M0R4CL3> im always a bit worried with updates
[18:42] <Yatekii> GR1M0R4CL3: was that an answer to my question?
[18:42] <GR1M0R4CL3> im running 18.04 that came with the laptop and i'm always afraid of breaking something that is working fine
[18:44] <GR1M0R4CL3> can't say. i dont understand half of what i say
[18:46] <sparr> my personal machine is moving from Arch back to a more sane distro, because it requires updates ridiculously often if you want to install software
[18:46] <sparr> You want to installa a new calculator? Is a new kernel available? Then you must install the new kernel too.
[18:46] <oerheks> ??
[18:47] <sparr> makes me miss Ubuntu
[18:47] <oerheks> ofcourse you want a fresh calculator kernel
[18:47] <GR1M0R4CL3> i went from fedora to ubuntu
[18:47] <GR1M0R4CL3> been using redhat since the 90s and 5.1 or 5.2... my first ubuntu is 18.04
[18:47] <Neo> sarnold: just saw your message, checking out netplan now
[18:47] <GR1M0R4CL3> i am amazed it came on the machine alredy there.
[18:54] <ptux> hi. i need help in configuring the audio on ubuntu 20.04 (after upgrade from 18.04
[19:42] <Aison> is net-snmp 5.8 somehow available for ubuntu? looks like my ubuntu only support 5.7
[19:42] <Aison> (disco)
[19:43] <Aison> do I have to upgrade to frobnic?
[19:43] <Aison> sorry, i'm using eoan
[19:45] <Aison> damn, i'm mixing up names ;) I mean focal of course
[19:45] <Bashing-om> !info libsnmp-dev eoan
[19:46] <Aison> !info libsnmp-dev focal
[19:46] <Bashing-om> !info libsnmp-dev focal
[19:46] <Aison> ;)
[19:46] <Aison> ok
[19:46] <Aison> nice
[19:46] <oerheks> !info libsnmp-dev focal
[19:46] <oerheks> oh
[19:46] <oerheks> +
[19:51] <Aison> authenticate 'focal.tar.gz' against 'focal.tar.gz.gpg'
[19:51] <Aison> Authentication failed
[19:51] <Aison> Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server.
[19:51] <Aison> ok.... strange
[19:52] <shokohsc7> Hello, any way to setup screen sharing through configuration files on 18.04 ?
[19:54] <sarnold> Aison: check dmesg; some disk system errors get reported there
[19:55] <Aison> sarnold, hmm, no, nothing reported
[19:56] <oerheks> shokohsc7, there is sharing installed standard, else see this tigervnc answer https://askubuntu.com/questions/1060457/ubuntu-18-04-1-lts-cant-enable-screen-sharing
[19:57] <ja> it is so strange, sometimes "Turn On Wi-Fi Hotspot..." is greyed out, and it says "System policy prohibits use as a Hotspot"
[19:57] <ja> but then a few minutes later, it works
[19:57] <ja> what is this system policy? is it just a bullshit error message?
[19:58] <ja> which package does the wi-fi settings belong to so i can report this bug?
[20:00] <shokohsc7> oerheks, thanks but I thought it was possible to setup the default tool via cli, not having to install an external soft, guess that'll do, thanks
[20:00] <ja> hmm it seems to be gnome-control-center
[20:00] <sarnold> Aison: hmm. are the files still on disk? probably the next step I'd take is inspecting those by hand..
[20:02] <ja> aaah the bug has been reported https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/965
[20:02] <Aison> sarnold, where is it stored? (focal.tar.gz*
[20:05] <sarnold> Aison: look in /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-* -- it may be there
[20:06] <sarnold> Aison: there might have been a debug line printed on the terminal, saying exactly where it is: logging.debug("using tmpdir: '%s'" % tmpdir)
[20:10] <Aison> sarnold, maybe I should change the server?
[20:11] <AmarOk> hi!
[20:12] <AmarOk> I am wondering where bug reports from an app are sent
[20:13] <shokohsc7> ok found it ! https://askubuntu.com/questions/12206/how-do-i-start-the-vnc-server
[20:13] <sarnold> AmarOk: there's two types of submissions, one heads to https://errors.ubuntu.com/ and the other goes to launchpad bugs
[20:16] <oerheks> whoopsie, writes the report to ls -l /var/crash/
[20:17] <oerheks> First, you need to find your whoopsie ID, as follows: sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id. Then, visit https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID, with your whoopsie ID substituted for ID. You should see a list of the reports that your system has uploaded
[20:22] <SirTalksAlot> Yo
[20:22] <SirTalksAlot> I need help
[20:22] <SirTalksAlot> How do I down load the lounge?
[20:22] <SirTalksAlot> Like the web app and not use the demo?
[20:22] <SirTalksAlot> Please answer as quick as possible
[20:23] <sarnold> SirTalksAlot: they've got a guide https://thelounge.chat/docs/install-and-upgrade
[20:23] <SirTalksAlot> When I do that is says no file ./thelounge deb
[20:24] <oerheks> Then download thelounge.deb located at the bottom of the latest release. bla bla
[20:24] <DrKK`> at the bottom of this page
[20:24] <DrKK`> https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge/releases/tag/v4.1.0
[20:24] <oerheks> sudo dpkg -i name.deb #  and voila
[20:24] <DrKK`> come on.
[20:24] <oerheks> quickly!
[20:25] <oerheks> grinn
[20:25] <SirTalksAlot> ?
[20:25] <oerheks> questionmark
[20:25] <SirTalksAlot> Then what?
[20:25] <SirTalksAlot> I copyed it?
[20:25] <sarnold> then move on to the next step in the guide :)
[20:25] <AmarOk> sarnold: cool. Seems it's errors.ubuntu.com I was searching.
[20:26] <oerheks> so, you have node.js as instructed?
[20:28] <AmarOk> ok need the access to read bug report. Will wait. Thx
[20:28] <SirTalksAlot> No
[20:32] <oerheks> grinn, https://snapcraft.io/install/thelounge/ubuntu
[20:33] <aLeSD> hi all
[20:34] <aLeSD> how could I list all the connections I am trying and I have enstableshed ? I am running an ipfs node and my route seems to not handle it very well
[20:34] <oerheks> or better; https://snapcraft.io/thelounge
[20:35] <sarnold> aLeSD: ss -tnp  isn't a bad starting point
[20:35] <oerheks> netstat -a
[20:38] <aLeSD> mmm ... I can't see any connection from ipfs ... is it because it's running as a docker ?
[20:41] <fl0_id> hey, anyone know what could cause dnsmasq in 20.04 to spam 'failed to create listening socket for someip: no permission'
[20:43] <sarnold> aLeSD: try sudo ss -tnp   ? I *thought* that all the networking connectinos in containers would still be visible in the host but I don't know docker well
[20:44] <oerheks> me no docker expert too
[20:44] <aLeSD> no. I can't see any
[20:44] <aLeSD> thanks anyway
[20:46] <sarnold> aLeSD: you can use the nsenter executable to enter the network namespace of the processes
[20:48] <sarnold> aLeSD: try sudo nsenter -p ...  -n ss -tnlp    -- replace the ... with a pid from the ipfs docker instance
[20:49] <sarnold> fl0_id: trying to run dnsmasq without CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE and trying to bind to a 'low port' could give that error message
[20:50] <fl0_id> sarnold, I didn't deliberately install dnsmasq, not sure what installed it
[20:51] <sarnold> fl0_id: heh.. you could try apt -s purge ... on the package
[20:51] <fl0_id> I did remove for now
[20:51] <sarnold> aha :)
[21:00] <Bashing-om> fl0_id: see in terminal ' apt show dnsmasq ' . Is an an optional install.
[21:02] <fl0_id> Bashing-om, yeah thanks I noticed that. I must have installed at one point, but no idea anymore why
[21:13] <clarkk> I connect a TV over HDMI to my ubuntu 18.04 system with an NVIDIA display chip, and it works fine, except sometimes after I unplug it and reconnect it, the TV remains black.  I've tried unpluggin again and reconnecting, turning the TV back to normal mode, and neither fixes the problem.  The sound still works fine.  Which log do I look at to investigate this issue?
[21:21] <fleabeard> hi folks \o, I haven't logged in; in a few months and did some updates and now my audio doesn't work on my laptop. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qdKR9WJKds/
[21:21] <fleabeard> any help getting sound back would be greatly appreciated!
[21:24] <sruli> clarkk: have you checked Display Settings to make sure you have the desired setting (mirrored, additional screen)? this can sometimes reset after removing the cable
[22:08] <hggdh>  
[22:18] <people398594> hi, i moved my home partition to an external drive but the drive nodes keep changing across reboots
[22:18] <people398594> i need either another way to mount the partition to /home or i need the drive nodes to remain constant across reboots
[22:19] <MikeRL> I have had a BT USB adapter with my setup. Now on 20.04. Is Ubuntu "smart" enought to use the 4.0 adapter over the 2.0 internal adapter? I'm assuming so.
[22:20] <MikeRL> Is there any way to verify the 4.0 adapter is running as default? On Windows I simply disabled the 2.0 internal adapter via Device Manager.
[22:23] <people398594> nvm, i figured it out... you have to use the GUID of the partition in fstab
[22:23] <people398594> 👍
[22:50] <stiu> Guys, i need a little bit of help. I have a disk where my linux is installed and I have another disk where windows is installed. Each has their own EFI partition, which I can select to boot using the uefi. But I wanted to be able to select windows from that menu that appears when I hold space while booting the linux. If that's possible, how do I do
[22:50] <stiu> it?
[22:52] <Bashing-om> stiu: Boot the ubuntu install: what shows ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo update-grub ' ? Where I expect os_prober to pick up the Windows install.
[22:57] <stiu> damn, you got me, lol, I'm actually using PopOS, and since it is based on ubuntu, I thought I'd ask here because they seem to not have an irc channel XD
[22:58] <stiu> and pop uses systemd-boot instead of grub, well, was worth a try
[22:59] <Bashing-om> stiu: We can not offer support to POp - things do get changed and we do not keep up with any other than ubuntu ;)
[22:59] <stiu> yeah, I was going to be ubuntu undercover, but you got me with the first question lol
[23:00] <stiu> at least I learned that systemd-boot is a thing, so I can google more accurately now
[23:00] <stiu> thanks anyway o/
[23:21] <kristian_on_linu> hi
[23:21] <kristian_on_linu> I have to playback some audio in Chrome, and there is some volume SPIKES!! ... how can I make them less loud?
[23:21] <kristian_on_linu> without turning down all the volume
[23:37] <shinobi_> Is GApcMon not available for 20.04?
[23:38] <tripelb> What do you call ... A .bat file for bash --> so I can look up how to do it...
[23:39] <kristian_on_linu> I think a normalizer is what I need
[23:39] <sarnold> tripelb: "shell script"
[23:40] <tripelb> Right. Thanks.
[23:40] <sarnold> tripelb: since shell scripts are very difficult to get right, (a) please consider using python instead (b) if you really want shell (and it does make sense for some uses, I just have to suggest something else) -- this may help https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ
[23:42] <tripelb> Sarnold... I want to download a set of files (images) that differ only by a number 1.. 50 in the pathname
[23:43] <sarnold> tripelb: aha :) I've done stuff like that a handful of times; try this for a starting point:  for i in `seq 1 50` ; do wget http://example.net/img_${i}.jpg ; done
[23:45] <tripelb> Good sarnold that tells me where to start. (ATM I can only do easy useful bash.)
