So, I added \e[1;33m before my normal prompt - all looks GREAT unless I have a line that is 40 or more characters and I try and edit it, I do use set -o vi, so I want vi style editing. Seems like the editr gets confused when the line is long and the prompy has color setting. What am I missing here? [00:14] how do I remove all languages except english/uk?

[00:37] most incidents of the problem are that while I try to drag and drop, the cursor suddenly accelerates in another direction. one way to reliably avoid it is to use a touchpad pen (fake finger for when wearing gloves in winter), but I'd like to use my normal fingers most of the time. [00:38] the touchpad usually goes back to sane within a few seconds after I lift my finger, but I have to restart the drag and drop action, that's annoying.

[00:44] RoseBus: In the paste is a new line ? [00:44] yes it's several lines [00:45] RoseBus, does the first line include a double quote? [00:46] Sven_vB, that's the first thing I looked for, no it does not.

I want Windows on a raid 0 hdds and Ubuntu on another hdd (no raid). If I set my motherboard on raid 0 for Windows, I can not see any drive on Ubuntu installer. [08:42] Gwalenn: that's expected [08:43] !fakeraid [08:43] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [08:43] Gwalenn: your windows/fake raid controller driver is windows only... [08:45] if this is intel fakeraid you could actually make it work on ubuntu, too, i think, but i don't know if grub supports it, so you may not be able to boot off it. [08:45] tatertots: my goal is windows on raid 0 and Ubuntu on a standard drive [08:46] and I its amd motherboard [08:47] Gwalenn: doesn't really mattere if CPU is intel/AMD...Linux won't see drives with sata mode set to its current state in bios [08:48] tatertots: ok. It is impossible to Ubuntu to see other drive on sata if I have two drive in raid 0 on my 4 hdd hardware ? [08:51] Gwalenn: you'd have to change BIOS sata mode to AHCI/SATA if you want drives to be seen by Linux [08:53] tatertots: but If i come back to AHCI after installed windows on raid 0, what 's happened ? [08:53] I will losse my win installation, no ? [08:53] Gwalenn: that would nullify your raid of course [08:54] in reallity I can't do this : Windows on raid and Linux on normal hdd. Anyway, I give up [08:55] Gwalenn: you could buy a hardware raid card if you really want [08:56] Gwalenn: all the LSI chipset based hardware raid controllers have good linux support or a Dell PERC controller [08:56] tatertots: no thanks :-D I have enough hardware...

[10:10] yeah I got confused, tomreyn [10:10] lotuspsychje: fwiw it all started after I switched my DP display to 4:3 mode with bars - instead of getting a correct resolution the panning has started, and even though I've came back to native 16:9 it never went. Re your last message I'll try that, thanks. [10:10] try: systemctl stop rsyslogd [10:12] !hansh there's something restarting it. probably it's systemd or equivalent. less commonly, it could be restarted in inittab. if you didn't add it to inittab yourself, then forget I mentioned it [10:12] InnovAnon-Inc: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:13] barnex: could you check if bug #1573345 affects you?

[10:26] funnybunny2: https://darkreader.org/ [10:26] hansh: probably still 20.04, it's what you said previously. but i suspect your installation did not go well, or you have a read-only file system.

Also the problem seems to only happen when the monitors actually shut down, just blanking the screen causes no issue. I'll read the bug now. [10:31] "XY problem" [10:33] lotuspsychje: the "Creative Technology Ltd Sound Blaster Play! 2 Consumer Control" device is connected via monitors USB hub, so it's a good way to track on/off [10:34] hansh: the "service" command is and i think has always been just a wrapper around the commands provided by the init system in use. all currently supported ubuntu releases use the systemd init system, so i would recommend you familiarize yourself with its commands and use those directly. systemctl is the service control command there. [10:35] hansh: "sudo systemctl stop rsyslog; sudo systemctl mask rsyslog" does that work? [10:37] lotuspsychje: and after more investigation it's not that bug. Just cycling power of the monitors reenables panning for me [10:39] lotuspsychje: weird thing is I can't fix it with "xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --off --panning 0x0 --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate left --output DVI-I-1 --off --output DVI-I-0 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-0 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1080x376 --rotate normal --panning 0x0", have to actually go into nvidia settings [10:44] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2t3td9qDtR/ so weird, I must not be understanding something [10:50] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VrbSHBtXKQ/ am I using xrandr wrong? I'd expect it to not add panning and in that case actually not change the configuration at all [10:51] I have a drive from an old computer, with a "lvm2 pv" partition, so as far as I can read this means that there are sub partitions in this partition. Does anyone know how to access these partitions? I can not remember what is on the drive, but I'd like a look before I reformat it. [10:54] when i enter recovery mode, it stops at "loading initial ramdisk ..." - hmm, i remember the same issue on another system, where the solution was kernel boot parameter dev=ttyS1 [10:56] i want to make an image of /dev/sda on a VPS, i do not have access to the hypervisor, and recovery mode stops at "loading initial ramdisk ...", and if i try in normal mode to run mount / -o remount,ro it says "mount: /: mount point is busy." , any suggestions?

[11:17] tomreyn, nevermind, seems there's something wrong with the hypervisor, because now the VM can't be booted at all (not even to the bios screen) [11:19] Already boot (but only after reboot) [11:19] The default ubuntu for raspberry don't bring desktop environment ? [11:21] echoSMILE: if you installed this https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi then the headline says "Ubuntu Server" and that comes without a GUI by default. [11:21] tomreyn: oh ok [11:21] echoSMILE: you can, of course, install one, though [11:22] (as explained on the tutorial linked there) [11:24] Austin__: it's not just about moving /boot, you'll also need to update the grub configuration located there, the initrd located there, and, moreover, ensure this system can boot in bios mode (i.a. it is not an uefi installation) and grub is available to the firmware. [11:24] Austin__: did you create the installation on the nvme while it was connected to a different computer then? [11:25] tomreyn: thats exactly what im unfamiliar with. have been doing a lot of reading but feel very out of my depth [11:25] i can boot to a live usb, and install to the nvme as it is detected by the kernel no problem [11:26] just pre-kernel, im relying on the motherboard, and it's too old (2014/15) to support booting from an nvme [11:27] Austin__: did you spot the last question i asked, too? [11:27] no, the nvme has only ever been in one machine [11:28] ^in answer to above [11:28] ah so you installed to the nvme while booting the same computer from an ubuntu installer usb stick or something? [11:28] exactly [11:28] then intend to move /boot to a usb [11:28] and the old mainboard can't switch between bios / uefi booting, yet? [11:29] it has functionality for both [11:29] and have you tried booting off the nvme using either mode? [11:29] neither support nvme unfortunately [11:29] and no updates from OEM to enable it... [11:29] ok, it seemed worth discussing it [11:29] :) [11:29] understandably, it's be a lot easier that way :) [11:30] it'd* [11:30] Austin__: have you tried installing grub+kernel+initramfs on the usb stick? [11:30] im not sure how, my google-fu is a little off as i'm so unfamiliar with this [11:31] this would need to be a different usb stick than the one the installer / live image is running from, i guess. [11:31] yep, i have two sticks for that reason [11:33] do you prefer bios or uefi booting then? [11:33] lets go uefi [11:34] gpt partition table on the usb, a 250 mb efi system partition (with the corresponding partition flag) and a vfat file system on it [11:35] i'll just do that now, bear with me [11:36] just reflashing nvme to correct anything i might have changed prior to now [11:37] by "reflashing" you mean you'll install ubuntu to it in uefi mode? [11:38] yea [11:38] good :) [11:39] when you did, don't reboot just after the installation completes, yet [11:39] ok, ready [11:41] Austin__: you just installed ubuntu using the ubuntu installer in *one* minute? nvme's are fast, but... this seems too fast? [11:41] it was already running when i started talking to you ;) [11:41] maybe he paired it with i9-10900k [11:42] if i had a cpu that new this wouldnt be an issue... :( [11:42] Austin__: which ubuntu version are you instlling actually (sorry if you already told)? [11:43] 20.04 [11:43] barnex: 2 more ideas crossing my mind, is testing this on the 435 driver as a compare test, or jumping to 20.04 before 19.10 going eol [11:43] srver [11:43] ah right i just spotted it, sorry [11:43] oh server, ok, good to know [11:43] so, new gpt on usb, 1G size, + boot flags? [11:44] 1G size partition + boot flags [11:44] i'll add vfat fs after [11:44] 1 GB might be too large for an ESP with an old mainboard. also, you'll definitely not need that much. [11:45] ah ok [11:45] 512M did you say before? [11:45] Austin__: do you have other fixed storages installed ont his system, or do you plan to have any? [11:45] no [11:45] gpt partition table on the usb, a 250 mb efi system partition (with the corresponding partition flag) and a vfat file system on it [11:46] Austin__: or you could just make it the same size the installer makes it on the nvme [11:47] I want to install Ubuntu as a Desktop OS but with a different window manager like i3. Is the Server image suitable for that, or does it contain domain-specific packages and configs that one wouldn't want on the Desktop? [11:48] p.s. Don't want the default applications of the Gnome DE either [11:48] adrian_1908: server will work. the installer should ask you what services you want to run anyways. [11:48] Ok, thanks! [11:48] tomreyn: done, 512M, and vfat added [11:49] adrian_1908: you may want to install network-manager and use that for managing your network connection and caching resolver rather than cloud-init, netplan and systemd-networkd (which would be the server default) [11:50] Austin__: and you tagged it as esp, too? [11:50] Austin__: "it" -> the partition which will be the efi system partition [11:50] tomreyn: no... [11:51] glad i asked! [11:52] whats the password of root by default ? [11:52] !root | echoSMILE [11:52] echoSMILE: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:53] tomreyn: tagged as in, a label? [11:53] or something else? [11:53] im googling... [11:53] Austin__: a partition flag [11:53] stored in the gpt [11:53] tomreyn: tks [11:53] fdisk -l will show the same for the nvme [11:58] ok, i'll check the nvme [11:58] and duplicate [11:59] Austin__: i'll be gone for about 15 minutes. once you're ready, you can just unmount what you have at /boot/efi now, then mount the new file system you created on the usb attached storages' esp there, and update fstab to point to this file systems' UUID (as seen on blkid) [12:00] ok [12:01] Austin__: then mount it into /target/boot/efi, then chroot /target, then "apt install --reinstall" the existing linux-* packages (dpkg -l | grep '^ii linux'), update-grub, grub-install [12:03] thank you :) [12:03] where I can set a static ip for wired interface from cli ? [12:05] echoSMILE: `ip a` or `ip a | grep wlan0` [12:05] one guide days that /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml is the default file, but it donºt exist [12:06] or however your interface is called [12:06] s/days/says [12:07] ah sorry, I read "where can I get", you meant set. My bad. [12:08] echoSMILE: If you don't have a file in your netplan dir, you can simply create one. E.g. /etc/netplan/config.yaml [12:11] echoSMILE: I don't have wifi set up right now, but something like this might work: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/thnsF78zkV/ [12:14] echoSMILE: Or rather: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KMCrZDDcXV/ === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [12:15] adrian_1908: tks. how to disable ipv6 btw ? [12:17] tomreyn: you there? [12:17] echoSMILE: Afaik you can't do that via netplan. Do you want to disable the IPv6 stack entirely (all the time) on your system? [12:17] Is there a way to disabled the directory confinement for snaps? The default confinement is breaking our workflow. [12:18] adrian_1908: yes [12:21] echoSMILE: For that I would probably add a file, e.g. `/etc/sysctl.d/60-disable-ipv6.conf` and inside add the lines `net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1`. Also add 3-4 lines like that one, replacing ‘default’ with ‘all’, ‘lo’, ‘wlan0‘ to be sure. [12:21] Tks [12:22] This way IPv6 should be disabled on your machine entirely. You should see this if you run `ip a` and get no more `inet6` property in there. [12:25] echoSMILE: You can also query these properties (after reboot) via `sysctl net.ipv6.conf.{all,default,lo,wlan0}.disable_ipv6` [12:25] Should then all print `= 1` [12:28] tomreyn: should i not be updating fstab after chroot? [12:32] I got a serious and urgent network-issue with a new laptop: the laptop is a "HP 6hm83es", Eth-Controller is: Realtek RTL8111/8169/8411, Wifi-Controller is: Realtek RTL 8821CE [12:32] Wifi does not work at all (needs extra driver which I cannot install) [12:33] LAN works but with strange dns -issues (I think so...): some websites work (google, ubuntuusers), some sites dont.... apt and software-center have NO internet [12:33] any ideas? please I need help [12:34] pragomer: To begin: `ip a`, `ip r` and `cat /etc/resolv.conf` [12:37] vlt: thank you for taking your time for me. I will post the outputs as photo-screenshots... as I cannot get on internet on THAT laptop,ok? [12:37] tomreyn: when i'm booted into the usb stick, /boot/efi is not present. think im missing something [12:37] the live usb stick* [12:37] ip a: https://i.imgur.com/tD4mboV.png [12:38] ip r: https://i.imgur.com/tkngLTU.png [12:38] resolv.conf: https://i.imgur.com/V1gJoz5.png [12:40] pragomer: There’s no IPv4 address on your device eno1 (and I have zero IPv6 experience). Is there a DHCP server present? [12:41] vlt: yes, you are right... hostname -I only shows me a ipv6 address ... [12:41] dhcp server is there... as 5 other computers in this house work properly with my fritzbox [12:42] pragomer: You could run `sudo journalctl -f` in a separate terminal to see what’s going on when you then try `sudo dhclient eno1`. [12:43] I think its a driver issue because its a low budget discounter laptop (399 euro)... I think when I could get ubuntu to work with ipv6 for installing software I could get the "additional drivers" to work... and fix the problem [12:43] why I can't login over ssh ? I already checked and I have the "PasswordAuthentication Yes" [12:43] can I set ubuntu to work with ipv6 ? [12:45] ok, setting up a manual ipv4 address seemed to work temporary... [12:45] echoSMILE, sometimes, the sshd_config needs an option after ipv6 is removed. Sec. I'll check. [12:45] vlt: thanks for the tip with "no ipv4" did oversee this.. [12:46] TheFu: I didnºt disabled ipv6 yet [12:46] add "AddressFamily inet" to the sshd_config [12:46] That setting isn't always needed. [12:47] To troubleshoot ssh ... try ssh -vvv user@server [12:47] Tks [12:51] TheFu: hum, locally it worked, but from other host, the password is denied [12:51] s/password/permission [12:55] Austin__: sorry, this took a while longer [12:56] tomreyn: no worries :) [12:56] updaing fstab after chroot: does not matter, but it needs to be the fstab of the target system [12:57] i havent really done anything since you last wrote, just googling [12:57] ah ok, thats where i was confused, i was editing it on the live USB [12:57] but never saved anything as i thought it wasnt right [12:57] Austin__: if /boot/efi is not present after boot from usb stick, then you didn'T boot in efi mode, i would think. to check: echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS [12:59] echoSMILE, check that the permissions on the ~/.ssh/ directory and all files inside are correct. Usually, they need to be 700/600 except the public keys where 644 works. [12:59] I am wondering has haswell support been removed from ubuntu va-driver ? [13:00] tomreyn: uefi... [13:00] echoSMILE, perhaps if you posted the output showing the failures? [13:00] Austin__: so you have no file system mounted at /boot/efi, but does this directory exist? [13:00] no, doesnt exist [13:01] weird, now worked [13:01] no, sorry, it's there [13:01] tks [13:01] echoSMILE, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2421268 has some troubleshooting ideas. [13:01] i have no idea why umount /boot/efi didnt work earlier [13:02]
