[00:13] is there a bot, maybe one that works like judd, that lets you query about packages? [00:14] !info bash [00:14] bash (source: bash): GNU Bourne Again SHell. In component main, is required. Version 5.0-4ubuntu1 (eoan), package size 620 kB, installed size 1636 kB [00:14] hmm. I thought there was... [00:14] aha, there is ;) just slow [00:14] oh very nice [00:14] can I message it? [00:14] (and have it reply by message) [00:15] !ubottu | jim [00:15] jim: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot. You can search my brain at https://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | General info and channels at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | Make a clone of me, see !botclone [00:15] jups, in /prvmg too [00:16] great, thanks so much... why did I forget about ubottu [00:16] so, !info !find [00:17] jim: For instance ' /msg ubottu !info bash ' . will generate to a private window. [00:17] not ,v bash [00:17] :-D [00:17] so you still need the ! character? [00:17] jups, not in priv msg [00:18] what's a jups? [00:18] yes* [00:18] oh ok :) [00:18] heh, the things you take for granted .. [00:19] next time a ubuntu user comes into ##linux, maybe I can help [00:19] anyway thanks all [00:24] Does anyone know where I can learn lua? [00:29] SirTalksAlot34: I think I did this a fwe years ago, it seemed like a good starting point anyway https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [00:50] trying to setup samba ubuntu to ubuntu [00:50] failed to retrieve share list from server connection timed out [00:51] trying to access via natalius [00:51] getting that error message [00:52] I can't help you there bud sorry :( [00:53] pi0: you could also try using smbclient at the command line, or mount.cifs, perhaps one or the other of them will give you a more useful error message [00:53] pi0: double-check firewall rules on both hosts, and any routers that are between the two machines === pinpox- is now known as pinpox [00:54] i am able to ssh directly using natalius [00:54] which is good, but eventually i will need samba [00:54] how do i run mount.cifs? [00:55] on xenial, fuser offers the -w option to kill all processes that hold file descriptors with write access to a certain file. can I also just list them? [00:55] it'll be something like mount -t cifs //remotehost/exportname /mnt/local/mount/point and probably require a bunch of -o things [00:56] oh, looks like the man page is wrong and -w does that by default. [00:56] nah I read wrong. it's just ignored. [00:56] (in non-kill mode) [00:57] ok then how do I list processes that have the file opened for write access? [00:59] Sven_vB: try: lsof -f -- pathname and look for the 'w' in the FD column [00:59] that *might* be as easy as | grep "w REG" [00:59] or maybe two spaces? tab? [01:00] something like that, anyway.. [01:00] sarnold: thanks! that is a good starting point to check, also does anyone here use gnone boxes? [01:00] gnome [01:01] I've used virt-manager before, this is the first I'm hearing of gnome-boxes [01:01] sarnold, the problem with a sed or grep approach is that I don't know if command (1st column) and/or resolved filename (last column) might have spaces in them, or even the exact search string "w REG". so I tried -F pf (fields PID and FD), but then lsof no longer prints the file mode. === EuphOria is now known as Euph0ria [01:08] Sven_vB: try field 'a' as well, that looks like it includes mode [01:11] sarnold, it does. thanks! === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly [01:41] Sven_vB: yay :) === EuphOria is now known as Euph0ria === zbenjamin is now known as Guest15745 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === MrAnon is now known as CommunistDude [02:46] i tried fedora [02:50] hi, i know it is an old release and a port. where can i find https://wilkiecat.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/ubuntu-10-10-on-power-pc-macintosh/ ? http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ports/releases/ doesn't have it. [02:51] for my ppc box i think the video card is not well supported by 9.04 so i wanna try my karma on 10.10 :) [02:53] huh, that's a surprise it's not catalogued there [02:54] exit70[m]: you may want to try something completly different, instead, eg https://distfiles.adelielinux.org/adelie/stable/iso/ [02:55] exit70[m]: (I mean, there's no guarantees, but there's a chance something might have been fixed in the intervening nine years) [02:55] thanks i still wanna gnome 2 but knowing another distro have ppc support feels good [03:33] anyone familiar with softflow and its ability to generate v9 flows? === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [03:54] i tried fedora [04:00] As semi-noob in Linux world, I start wtih Archlinux. Now, I'm trying Ubuntu. With Arch I had a great centeralized documentation which was arch wiki and kind of had the general bird view of what is going on. [04:00] goddard: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [04:00] However, on ubuntu, I'm a bit confused. I search random blog posts...is there a reliable documentation for ubuntu? [04:01] mhpl3141592: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ [04:01] leaftype: no sorry went to social [04:03] leftyfb: could you show me an entry for i3 (i3wm) and how install in in wiki.ubuntu.com? I simply couldnt find anything and had to just search through google [04:04] mhpl3141592: https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-use-i3-window-manager-ubuntu/ [04:05] leftyfb: I just want to know the best practice in the community. One should read random blog posts (many outdated) using google? right? what do experts do? [04:05] not expert, but intermediate to advanced users [04:06] Thanks for the link, but I want to know how to get more advanced in Ubuntu and general best practices [04:06] mhpl3141592: installing and choosing i3wm over most other DE's is prettymuch the same. Install the package(s), log out, choose your WM and log back in [04:07] leftyfb: I've already did it, but do even advanced users just search google, try adapting blog posts? [04:08] mhpl3141592: depends on the person and article [04:08] mhpl3141592: you can also join #ubuntu-discuss we have some active volunteers on i3 here [04:08] leftyfb: So after get some experience, people get to know more reliable sources and also the tricks to adopts things. Right? [04:10] lotuspsychje: My problem isn't i3...I'm asking about general and best practices on how to configure the OS. In Arch it was mostly the wiki. In Ubuntu it seems some use of blog posts, stack overflow, etc... [04:11] mhpl3141592: we try to divide discussions with actual ubuntu support, into the proper channels, hence why the discuss channel [04:12] lotuspsychje: aha, thank, I will join there. [04:12] +1 === CommunistDude is now known as FCKTHEPOLICE [04:16] how can i setup flathub properly? [04:19] I just install regolith and then switch to it. After re-login into my default ubuntu the default icons has changed which I don't like. How can I revert the changes to default ubuntu icons? I've a fresh install and couldn't find an icon setting [04:41] so i have an operation going in nautilus to copy some files and it keeps asking for my password. It also says it has 8 hours to go. I do not want to sit here and keep entering my password. What can I do?

[06:59] any idea how to resolve it? [06:59] I've tried several times in several VMs over the last few days and it always gives me that message. [07:00] just about done with snaps. [07:08] does 20.4 have gcc10? [07:09] 9.30 [07:09] 9.3.0 i mean. [07:10] :( [07:10] at least that's what gcc --version gives me.

I seem pretty stuck. [07:53] do you guys use synaptic? I find it practical to find packages, but I don't know if there is a better way of looking for those. Also it's hlpful to install dependencies... [07:54] sudo apt list |grep *whatever* [07:54] I just use apt to install. It pulls down the dependencies. synaptic is just a colorful wrapper around that anyway. [07:56] ok, so that command calls the server to tell me what packages are named like the name I wrote (say firefox) and will only list packages compatible with my current distro, correct? [08:00] or apt search [08:01] correct. [08:01] yeah, apt search too. [08:01] I'm just lazy; the muscle memory takes over; I use grep for so much else.

The name of the app is ebookviewer, or e-book-viewer or something similar. The old me would go to synaptic and search for it. Eventually I'd find a package with a similar name. How do you guys proceed if confronted with a similar situation? [08:39] I see, so you first trial and error the name :D [08:41] op [08:45] in ubuntu 18.04, the notifications are truncated in the notifications panel. How can I see the full message? [08:54] clarkk: screenshot please? [09:02] Hi everyone, my system is not booting on ubuntu anymore after I installed a new SSD and changed some sata connections. I get to the grub menu (I have dual boot windows), but when choosing ubuntu it just shows a blank screen with a white cursor blinking. I booted on a usb stick and can see the main ubuntu partition is still there, how can I repair [09:02] grub so that it works again? [09:03] one for you EriC^^ [09:04] actually seems like post-grub issue but Denethr did you change ubuntu or its still on the same hdd? [09:04] or did you transfer it to another etc [09:05] it's still on the same SSD [09:05] the partition UUID is still the one that i see in grub.cfg [09:05] but i moved the sata connections of the drives and added another one, so I don't know if that can confuse grub [09:06] (I don't know much about this) [09:06] did you change any settings in the bios ahci/raid etc [09:06] I had to change one nvme drive to be with SATA instead of PCIe because of limitations of my motherboard (if that makes sense) [09:07] Denethr: maybe try to chroot from the live usb and reinstall grub and see what happens [09:07] how do I do that? just sudo chroot on the partition? [09:08] Denethr: yeah mount the root fs at /mnt [09:08] then run 'for i in /dev /proc /sys; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done' [09:08] then sudo chroot /mnt , mount -a, then grub-install and finally update-grub [09:10] Denethr: if it still doesnt work maybe check that the menu entry in grub is right by pressing 'e' over it and check the uuid there etc. if that all checks out then try to remove quiet splash and maybe put 'debug ignore_loglevel' and look for whats happening [09:11] hi guys, can anyone tell me why copying numerous files on ubuntu it's so slow compared to windows? [09:12] so I'm chroot in the right directory, grub-install says "grub-install: error: install device isn't specified" [09:12] do I need more arguments? [09:13] Denethr: ah, it's a legacy grub not uefi [09:13] that's confusing, I boot using uefi [09:13] Denethr: try 'grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX' replacing sdx with your main hdd [09:13] Denethr: yeah i somehow thought you had uefi too [09:14] mpv has audio that can be buffered via emacs? can emacs generalize any output of say mpv, without using packages [09:14] Denethr: can you run outside of the chroot 'sudo parted -ls | nc termbin.com 9999' and paste the link here? [09:14] I'd like to output epub as well, but without using packages, and also pdf [09:14] how do I type non ascii characters like German umlauts or the French ae? [09:14] Hello all... I have downloaded picore.img and am trying to burn it to an SD card on an Ubuntu machine. sudo dd if=/home/joel/Downloads/picore/piCore-9.0.3.img of=/dev/sdb1 claims to have written the ISO, 100352+0 records in | 100352+0 records out | 51380224 bytes (51 MB, 49 MiB) copied, 10.5901 s, 4.9 MB/s But the thing does not boot in the pi, nor does it even register as a mountable partition on the Ubuntu machine it [09:14] was made on. any ideas please. [09:14] EriC^^: https://termbin.com/ow7p [09:14] I added language support for french and German [09:15] sdb5 should be ubuntu [09:15] Denethr: type 'grep efi /mnt/etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999' [09:17] somehow doesn't work - but fstab in the chroot shows this: UUID=261F-B659 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1 [09:17] Ascavasaion, Not sure, what capasity is the SD (in Gb)? [09:18] and # /boot/efi was on /dev/nvme0n1p2 during installation sorry [09:19] Hello all... I have downloaded picore.img and am trying to burn it to an SD card on an Ubuntu machine. sudo dd if=/home/joel/Downloads/picore/piCore-9.0.3.img of=/dev/sdb1 claims to have written the ISO, 100352+0 records in | 100352+0 records out | 51380224 bytes (51 MB, 49 MiB) copied, 10.5901 s, 4.9 MB/s But the thing does not boot in the pi, nor does it even register as a mountable partition on [09:19] Denethr: ok, outside of the chroot, type 'sudo mount -B /run /mnt/run' [09:19] the Ubuntu machine it was made on. any ideas please. [09:19] Denethr: then in the chroot type "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link [09:20] Ascavasaion: i think you might have to dd it to of=/dev/sdb rather than sdb1 [09:20] EriC^^: Oooh, let me try [09:20] https://termbin.com/78te [09:20] Ascavasaion: also run 'sync' after you dd it so that everything gets copied (from the cache) [09:21] aäSẞ [09:21] Denethr: ok, seems both grub legacy and uefi are installed, type 'apt-get remove grub-pc grub-pc-bin' [09:21] sweet [09:21] in chroot right? [09:21] Denethr: yeah [09:22] EriC^^: Perfecto! [09:22] EriC^^: Thank you, worked first time [09:22] Ascavasaion: great, no problemo [09:22] EriC^^ somehow my sources are messed up, getting 404... let me try to fix this (I didn't boot on ubuntu in a while) [09:23] Denethr: ok [09:28] EriC^^ok I managed to remove the packages [09:29] should i try gub-install again? [09:29] rub* [09:29] grub* [09:33] EriC^^ if I undertsand well it tried to run grub-install automatically but there were some errors: https://termbin.com/fzpr - is that normal? [09:36] stupid question - does it matter if I booted into the USB key using UEFI or not? [09:39] Denethr: yeah it matters cause if the usb isnt booted in uefi mode it cant access the uefi entries in the motherboard (no efivars found) [09:39] ok that probably explains it.... [09:39] i'll reboot [09:39] Denethr: ok [09:43] Somehow uninstalling the wrong grub seems to have fixed it, I was able to boot from disk this time :-) [09:43] thanks for the help! [09:43] Denethr: great :) no problem [09:44] hi [09:45] does anyone know about #plesk [09:45] nobody interested [09:54] or you failed to wait [09:57] No [09:58] nameserver ns1 ... [09:58] how can I do that [10:01] I need to make a live usb stick. Is unetbooting still the way to go? [10:07] frad: if you are making it from linux then it might be easier to simply use dd (please make absolutely sure you select the right drive if you use this method) [10:13] in ubuntu 18.04, the notifications are truncated in the notifications panel.

[11:34] younder: yes, i'm aware of that. just wondering what peanutbutterandc is trying to figure out [11:35] ThinkT510, So, I recently configured an acquaintance's Ubuntu 20.04 like this: installed `flatpak` and `gnome-software` and `gnome-software-plugin-flatpak`, and configured `gnome-software` to only show flatpaks and install only flatpaks (per-user installation) [11:36] ThinkT510, and today I can't seem to be able to do it on another machine [11:46] peanutbutterandc: at what point does it fail? [11:48] ThinkT510, It doesn't. Gnome software isn't talking to users local flatpak remote.... [11:48] so... I guess it never talks to each other [11:48] at all [11:48] lol [11:50] peanutbutterandc: unfortunately i'm not a fan of these software centres. give me synaptic any day over those things. sorry i can be of much more help [11:50] can't [11:51] ThinkT510, It's all right. I am just trying to set it up for a friend [12:06] I remember Ubuntu and other Linux pop ups suggesting BIOS upgrades. But I can't find it back to update my bios. How do I open a tool to update my BIOS while running ubuntu [12:07] hi! i am trying to completely remove and reinstall a package (chromium browser) that was installed with snap. however it does not work. when i try to purge chromium dpkg returns an error because "chromium-browser is in a very bad inconsistent state" and i should reinstall it [12:07] captainfantastic: ubuntu / gnome software should provide a GUI, fwupd a CLI [12:07] captainfantastic: perhaps perform a normal update using "Ubuntu Software"? [12:08] but when i run dpkg-reconfigure chromium-browser, it complains that it is in a bad state and broken [12:08] so what can i do? [12:09] ejr: i guess i'd remove the snap first, all revisions including backups, and then try to re-install the deb. [12:09] if you can show the full outputs this may also help finding a better solution [12:09] !paste [12:09] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:09] ah yes, i have already run snap remove chromium* before [12:10] @tomreyn @aeplus Thanks guys! it's in the ubuntu software center. Hasn't crossed my mind that ubuntu software would offer bios upgrades :) [12:10] not sure about the snap backups though [12:10] where can i find them? [12:11] if you run snap help in a temrinal this should provide some hints [12:11] i don't rmember the exact comands and am not a fan of supporting snap either. [12:13] i let the 2 chromium snapshots be forgotten in snap, still it does not work [12:15] Tr1nk: you can *possibly* use "alien" (a package you'd need to install via apt) to make use of this rpm archive: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1670744 [12:16] ejr: so lets see your outputs for the commands you discussed so far. [12:20] I have a mp3 file and a bunch of jpg images ...I want to create a video in which the jpg images will appear in a slideshow and the mp3 audio will play in background ...Is there any GUI app which can do this ? [12:20] tomreyn: result of purge command: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6T7WC7JRJC/ [12:20] result of dpkg-reconfigure is: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: chromium-browser is broken or not fully installed [12:22] ejr: did you try to re-install, as the 'purge' output and i suggested? and if so, what's the output there? [12:22] and sudo snap chromium installs it, but when i open chromium with the icon it just doesnt start, when launching from the shell it says "No protocol specified/ [37051:37051:0516/142202.766462:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1485)] Unable to open X display." [12:23] ahh, no i did not try --reinstall, trying now [12:23] i'm unable to help debug snap, but we can examine apt and dpkg further. [12:24] this actually brought me further, it reinstalled... it does not boot yet but i will try some things, brb [12:24] "boot"? [12:27] can someone on bionic 18.04 simulate the installation of libappindicator3-dev and share the output ? thanks ' apt -s install libappindicator3-dev' [12:28] erj: can't open x display, sounds familiar. I have gotten it when trying to run stuff over ssh. It must be the virtual connection from the snap to your desktop that is failing. [12:31] ioria: https://termbin.com/at40 [12:31] tomreyn, thanks [12:32] you're welcome [12:33] john_rambo: you're looking for a video editor software. a web search will find you some. [12:35] john_rambo: this lists all i know of, and more: https://itsfoss.com/best-video-editing-software-linux/ [12:35] tomreyn: i meant "start", not boot [12:35] but the X display error persists [12:35] younder: how did you solve it? [12:35] Only have 20.04 on virtualbox for now. Tend to wait to the .1 release arrives somewhere in July before I do a reinstall. [12:35] i am not actually running ssh [12:35] maybe a reboot will help, brb [12:35] ejr: what exactly is "it" now? [12:36] erj: I know but snat set's up a chrooted environment and requires to run on a subnet it set's up like say docker. [12:38] If I'm currently dual booting 18.04 on one drive with Windows and want to get a second drive in the future, what would be the best way to dual boot 20.04 (upgrade or start from scratch?) and should I install it on the second drive separate from the existing Windows? [12:38] hallo how to dell user when hw ran some prog [12:41] hallo how to dell user when hw ran some prog [12:46] tomreyn, thanks again (got a corrupted cache) [12:46] Rozha: "dell" is not a verb. please rephrase your question. there are also localized ubuntu channels if this would be any better? [12:47] ioria: ah, annoying, good luck with it. [12:47] tomreyn, solved with your output. tx [12:47] nice :) [12:48] tomreyn, funny that, usually it your input that solves things ;) [12:49] WaV: i guess if i wanted to prevent reinstalling windows then i'd keep it on the same storage where it is at, and not change the order in which this disk is seen by the firmware, and install ubuntu on the second drive. [12:49] younder: :) [12:50] tomreyn: I don't believe the computer came with installation media for Windows, but if it does I certainly wouldn't exclude it as an option. [12:51] (assuming it's easier/less messy) [12:53] hi [12:54] WaV: #ubuntu is not usually known as a windows support channel (try ##windows), but i guess we can say that you download an iso and write it to a usb stick using e.g. "woeusb" on ubuntu. [12:54] hi Odo [12:55] tomreyn: fair enough. You had said to install 20.04 on to the second drive in your previous statement. What would you do with the 18.04 installation at that point? [12:55] (the one that is on the already existing drive) === revosftw5 is now known as revosftw [12:58] I recently got Ubuntu 20.04 onto a HP Pro 408 G1 tablet I have. One major issue I have right now is rotation, it seems off by one angle Holding it upright in portrait mode it rotates to the right landscape, holding it in landscape it rotates to the right again. Does anyone know how I could fix this? [13:00] WaV: move its data (/home) to the 20.04 installation, delete its partitions, use the free space to grow that of windows or use it as another partition or LVM PV on ubuntu. [13:01] WaV: food time here, bbl. [13:01] tomreyn: Sounds easy enough. cfdisk and nuke. Have fun. [13:03] WaV: thanks. one more note: don't have more than one efi system partition, an keep it where it is now (i'm not sure how well windows or your mainboard firmware would handle it otherwise). [13:03] also the ubuntu installers don't cope well with situations where there is more than one. [13:04] tomreyn: Ok, thank you. I'll keep that in mind. Just waiting on hdd prices to come down a bit. === mnabid_ is now known as mnabid [13:21] Apparently Docker conflicts with UFW in that it wants to write rules. Anyone know of a work-around? [13:22] Is turning UFW off the only work-around? [13:27] rapidwave: not remotely familiar with the issue so can't be of much use myself unfortunately, but this github issue seems like a good starting point and points to several other issues and resources: https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/690 [13:27] i have a dualboot system w. windows10 and ubuntu18.04. I want to add ubuntu 20.04 as a 3rd OS. I have prepared a partition (/dev/sdb3) and made a bootable usb. I am now running the installation and i am choosing my prepared partition. Q: What do i choose in "Device for boot loader installation:" ? Of course i don't want to destroy my existing bootload setup - i just want to add this new ubuntu 20.04 in the same boot menu. How do I do that? [13:28] rapidwave: particularly this comment: https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/690#issuecomment-529319051 === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly [13:39] in ubuntu 18.04, the notifications are truncated in the notifications panel.

While running the zfs Scripts in initrd, I get a several minutes long wait during boot. I've ruled out other possible problems. How can I get useful debug output? [13:44] diverdude: it seems that choosing not to install the bootloader during the 20.04, then booting into 18.04 and running `sudo update-grub` to pick up the new installation should work: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/155396/how-to-have-triple-boot-linux-mint-17-cinnamon-ubuntu-14-04-windows-8 [13:52] x0n: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/wiki/Debian-GNU-Linux-initrd-documentation seems you can pass `zfs_debug=on` kernel param [14:22] yes* [14:32] clarkk: what is your screen resolution? [14:38] Hi [14:38] I wanted to test a VPN Killswitch Tutorial (https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1266552/Create-a-VPN-killswitch-with-UFW), but I have a problem the tun/tap does not appear when testing in my virtual ubuntu machine. I use NAT network settings, what I have to do that a VPN connection will work in a virtual ubuntu machine? [14:46] I am following this tutorial to install cuda: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-cuda-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux But I have to install cuda 10.1 and not latest. How do I ensure that? [14:46] what do you mean how do you ensure it ? [14:47] ikonia: i mean how do i make sure that its not 10.2 that is installed instead of 10.1? [14:48] there are 4 guides on that page [14:48] how you verify the version will depend on which approach you take [14:49] 4? i see only 2. one for ubuntu repo and one for cuda repo [14:49] sorry - there are 4 steps [14:49] one of them is "how to check the version" [14:50] 4? there are 3 in the first and 5 in the second [14:50] How to install CUDA toolkit from Ubuntu Repository [14:50] How to install CUDA toolkit from CUDA repository [14:50] How to compile example CUDA C code and execute program [14:50] How to Check CUDA version [14:51] yes ok - i know that...but i want to check it before i install it....these cuda drivers are nuts...once its installed in the system its impossible to properly clean it up again if i want to upgrade/downgrade or change it [14:52]
