SeversHi everyone, I am a Linux newbie (only been using steadily for about a year and a half) and I am looking at maybe upgrading from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS, and was wondering how painless/painful the transition would be if I used the upgrade from within the OS.01:30
sarnoldSevers: I don't think we've started advertising the upgrade path yet -- if you're asking about how painful it might be, you might just want to hold off for another month or two, until we start advertising it01:32
sarnoldSevers: most people, it goes pretty well, but it's better for the enthusiasts to try it out for a while first01:32
SeversFair enough, thanks for the heads up, my main concerns were honestly if i was going to have to reinstall my desktop environment after the upgrade, and if it would overwrite my grubfile01:33
sarnoldgrubfile?01:33
Seversi have to have the iommu=soft parameter in my grubfile to make my USB 2.0 ports because im on a Gigabyte 990FX mobo01:34
sarnoldah, that'll probably carry over01:34
sarnoldI imagine if you have to set it up again it'll be really annoying?01:34
Seversif i were to do it at the current moment yeah, simply because im just getting over a nasty fever and getting down to swap all my cords from USB 2s to 3s then back again after i fix it01:35
Severswould cause me some physical pain01:36
sarnoldcan you ssh in to the machine? that'd save either plugging/unplugging things, or save you from a tapping-the-reset-button reboot..01:36
Seversi might be able to figure that out, though if youre recommending to just wait a few months anyway ill probably do that, ive just seen a few people talking about upgrades recently so i was tempted01:38
Seversim getting fair performance as is, but figured there might be some improvements gaming wise by upgrading01:39
sarnoldI've heard the gnome experience is better01:39
sarnoldbut if you're not using gnome then it might be less noticable01:40
Seversi go back and forth, the main reason for installing XFCE was due to an audio issue with Rocksmith01:40
Seversno matter how low i put my guitar volume down, it would always distort in game under gnome01:41
SeversI'm still learning my way around linux, been using it exclusively for a little over a year and a half01:44

skyliner_369I'm wanting to see what the sound settings for my PC is. I'm running 20.04LTS and, well, the audio settings are excessively basic.06:34
skyliner_369where might I be able to set it to like, 32-bit audio and 192000 hz output?06:36
vltskyliner_369: Not the most straight forward way but ... for my hardware `alsamixer` has a setting for sample rate and I usually configure JackAudio to match my desired settings.06:46
b3lt3roerheks: wow, just read the linuxhint pxe boot guide you referenced... what a palaver :-) I'm hoping the Raspi distro for 20.04 gets a "pure" nfs boot like I can with Raspian - that is just installing nfs-kernel-server on the host and changing one line in the boot cmd on the client sd card.06:51

ducasseechoSMILE: what do you mean 'without lts'?07:11
ducasse20.04 is lts, there aren't different versions07:11
echoSMILEducasse: oh. nevermind then07:12
skyliner_369if you're running 18.04 at the moment, I recommend running software updater a few times. should prompt you to upgrade. if not, then it's right there. I believe 32-bit is fully abandoned07:13
echoSMILEI have Ubuntu 19.10, but I need to backup everything first becaue I follow the FDE ubuntu guide and the upgrade could messe up. But in normal circunstances, upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 LTS is quite straightforward right ?07:14
ducasseas long as you don't have any ppas07:15
skyliner_369it should be rather easy yeah. your files should be safe. maybe not your software, but that's easier to reinstall than recovering a lost project.07:15

skyliner_369I'm running the 20.04Lts version07:26
akemFor regular Ubuntu that is.07:26
skyliner_369I can install extra desktops via apt... well... if I remember how.07:27
lotuspsychjeskyliner_369: depends what you want to do exactly07:28
skyliner_369lwell with this I kinda wanna stick to basic, as I hear extra environments can introduce stability issues?07:29
lotuspsychjeskyliner_369: stability issues not really, as you are on LTS, but the more flavour desktops you start to install, the more mixed your ubuntu will start to be, harder to purge things07:30
skyliner_369I mean I put every environment on my laptop but I think the windows side of the disc clobbered something and now neither OS runs07:30

vakkovHi guys! this might have been asked a tons of time but I got into a big mess and  am in a huuuuge hurry, honestly - is there a way to boot ubuntu on T2-chip Macbook?? i read that booting from external media has to be allowed but what about secure boot - should that be set to "no security" or is everything OK with EFI and Ubuntu now; also, do recent Ubuntu versions ship with the needed T2 kernel patches? I really need to save the data from a dying macCrap o13:38
vakkovf a friend of mine13:38
gildartsI don't think Ubuntu could read the data off the drive even if you got it booted. Apple SSDs are formatted as APFS, and as far as I know, Ubuntu doesn't have drivers for it.13:45
gildartsBut yeah, you would need to boot to recovery mode and change the security settings to even attempt it.13:45
gildartsvakkov: ^13:45
mike18hi, how can run sed for that string? https://ideone.com/ymhGiq  ... sed -n '/"instances"/s/[^{]*{/p'13:47
vakkovgildarts: is that all that is needed to be done/13:47
vakkovthanks btw!13:47
gildartsvakkov: No worries. I haven't tried booting Ubuntu on any of their recent hardware, so am not sure. Probably safest to turn off all the security settings if you are just trying to extract the data. But I doubt you can get it off without booting into macOS. Between disk format and encryption, I doubt Ubuntu can read it.13:49
gildartsmike18: `curl blah | sed blah` Though it appears that your pattern is malformed somehow. Not familiar with sed.13:56
gildartsHmm, appears I misunderstood the question though.13:57

SumOverHistoriesgood afternoon. could someone please explain to me why when I rebuild my Ubuntu Kernel following the steps in the BuildYourOwnKernel guide, I end up with so many different .deb packages to install. there is a buildinfo package, multiple cloud tools and tools packages, multiple headers packages... do I need to install all of these packages following a kernel rebuild or can i simply just install linux-image-un15:35

purveshhow can upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 If I have ISO downloaded15:53
leftyfbpurvesh: the upgrade path from 18.04 to 20.04 isn't fully vetted. You're better off waiting till 20.04.1 which will probably be out in the coming months15:56
purveshleftyfb, Ohk... Thanks for reply. I was having iso downloaded so thought to upgrade it offline through 20.04LTS ISO from 18.04LTS15:57
leftyfbpurvesh: I would just do a fresh install and restore from backup15:58
purveshleftyfb, how to do that? do you have any article link from which I can see all application backup & restore after updating?15:59

TidersI have a ubuntu 18.04 docker image for aws codebuild.  It comes with php7.3 installed under /root/.phpenv/shims/php.  I need to use php7.2 instead so I installed php7.2 with apt and then ran update-alternatives to set that.  However when I do "which php" it still points to the other one.  What can I do to make it point to the correct one?17:30
AmaranthTiders: Sounds like your $PATH has been modified to prefer the one in ~/.phpenv17:34
AmaranthAre you running as root when you have this problem?17:34
TidersYes17:35
Tiders /root/.phpenv/shims  is the first thing in the $PATH variable as you guessed17:36
AmaranthYour ~/.bash_profile has been modified to add ~/.phpenv/bin to $PATH for the phpenv command and some other addition to add whatever points at the version of PHP it has configured17:37
AmaranthProbably that shims thing, yeah17:37
AmaranthYou could also keep using phpenv and use it to install 7.2 and change to it, if you wanted to keep that system17:38
TidersI honestly don't mind either way.  I've just been having a lot of problems trying to get php-redis enabled and I've tried multiple approaches.  My current approach was trying to bypass the built in php17:39
TidersWhen I used the php version that was set wtih phpenv and ran apt install php-redis it installed php7.2 as well17:39
Tidersand the phpenv version of php never got the module17:39
Tidersso maybe I need to install the module differently as well, maybe a php question?17:40
AmaranthYeah, if you want to use phpenv you'll have to compile php-redis yourself I think, I thought phpenv would have a thing for that like the combination of virtualenv and pip for Python but I guess not17:42
AmaranthSo if you want 7.2 and have php-redis installed for it you can just comment out or delete the lines in your ~/.bash_profile that add phpenv stuff to your $PATH then reload the config or log out and back in17:43
TidersAmaranth: I can't really log out and back in because this is an automated script to run a build process inside the docker image.  would doing source ~/.bash_profile do the same thing?17:45
AmaranthYeah17:45
TidersCool, will just need to write a little command to find that line and remove it from bash_profile then17:45
Tiderswill try that17:45
TidersAmaranth: what if there is no bash_profile file anywhere that I can find, should I just modify the PATH directly (this is only a single session thing anyways)17:46
AmaranthYou could, sure17:47
AmaranthOr you could directly reference /usr/bin/php to make sure you get the one you want17:47
TidersIf I modify the path directly would anything need to be reloaded or that would take effect immediately?17:47
AmaranthIt'll take effect for every command run after you change it17:47

ioriaestan, i don't think so19:24
oerheks1estan, that would be the 20.10 kernel, unknown for now.19:24
oerheks15.8 does not exist, smart guy19:24
ioria20.10 might be 5.719:24
daumhey all - i'm trying to install ubuntu on a machine but keep getting unable to find medium containing live file system any ideas what may cause that?19:24
daumused mkusb + ubuntu 20 to do this on my stick19:25
oerheks1daum,  did you check the iso?19:25
estanalright, thanks. i know 5.8 isn't out yet, but thought that it might be by the time the hwe kernel for 20.04 is released (i'm a little unsure of how the schedules work).19:25
ioriaestan, https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/05/ubuntu-20-04-1-coming-july19:25
estanioria: alright. and the .1 release is when the hwe packages are released?19:26
ioriayep19:26
estangreat, thanks. understand 5.8 would be a bit tight then.19:26
estani'm planning on getting a new laptop, and probably want it to be one of those nice new AMD ones, and i saw that the 5.8 kernel would have some thermal stuff for AMD, so that's why i was curious.19:27
daumoerheks1, yep iso checksum is correct19:28
estanbut i guess maybe ubuntu will backport that.. (?)19:28
ioriadaum, why don't you use dd, etcher, rufus ... ?19:28
estanioria: hmm but from that post you linked: "There’s also no new hardware enablement stack (HWE) set to ship in the Ubuntu 20.04.1 point release." :/19:29
daumioria, will find rufus19:29
ioriaestan, yes19:30
coconutI created three fat32 partitions on an usb thumb with gnome disks, and put the data of three different Linux iso's on those. But how do i grub install that thumb to tripple linux installer?19:30
daumioria, hm rufus is windows which i don't currently have19:30
ioriadaum, are you on linux ?19:31
estanioria: okay, then i misunderstood you, i thought the "yep" meant that hwe will coincide with the .1 release, but i guess it's coming in .2 then.19:31
daumyeah have dd so can look up that one19:31
ioriadaum, that's better19:31
ioriadaum, btw, is still TBD  (to be defined)19:33
ioriaestan,  btw, is still TBD  (to be defined)19:33
estanioria: alright. do you know what page i can keep an eye on to find out when they decide if .1 will have hwe packages or not?19:36
ioriaestan,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack19:37
daumioria, so it starts up sees the boot menu and then yous ee the splash screen as it loads,  to the same error again, unable to find a medium contain a life file system19:37
estanthe two i could find are https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-20.04.1 , but they don't seem to list that kind of information.19:38
estani wonder where that omgubuntu.co.uk article got its information.19:39
ioriadaum, might be a bios issue19:39
daumioria, do you know what i'd need to enable/disable?19:40
ioriadaum, some bios have a 'bootmanager' options -> Windows or Other19:41
daumyeah it's set set to "Other OS" for os type, but secure boot tate is enabled19:42

CrellHi folks. I'm trying to write a shell script that reads lines from a file and takes an action on each line, skipping comment lines. I have it working aside from skipping lines that start with #.  What I've found googling is to use [[ "$line" =~ ^#.*$ ]] && continue , but that is matching nothing for me. Also [ "$line" = "\#*" ] && continue, no luck either. To complicate matters I'm on dash, not bash.  Any pointers for what the incantation is to skip comment20:24
Crelllines?20:24
sarnoldCrell: what do you want to do with lines thta are mixed comments and instructions?20:26
CrellIt would be lovely to support that, but for now I'm happy with "first character is #, exclude it".20:26
CrellThe specific script is running "git clone --depth=1 $line" for each non-comment line.20:27
sarnoldis it fair game to run the whole input through grep -v first?20:27
CrellHm.  Maybe?20:28
Crellhttps://gist.github.com/Crell/bf3576849769de76e887b9f18abbf957 - That's the script at the moment.  (It's part of a much larger process, not relevant here.)20:28
sarnolddo be careful of someone giving you a repo named https://example.com/important_repository;rm -rf /20:31
Crellsarnold: You're suggesting replacing line 7 with done < grep -e # "$file"20:31
CrellHa, fair.  Though this runs as part of a build process in a container that is controlled by the customer, so the potential for shenanigans is somewhat limited.20:32
sarnoldgood good20:32
CrellI wanted to allow customers to specify a git repo, or a repo and version number.20:32
anusFolks when a program is not supported in ubuntu 16.04lts 32 bit is it better to upgrade then spend months waiting for a fix?20:32
sarnoldsome "" in the right place would probabvly do the trick for whatever names are given, accidental or intentional20:32
CrellI suppose it would be a good step to also strip out any line that contains a ; anywhere.  Not a perfect fliter but potentially helpful.20:33
leftyfbCrell: grep -v -- "^#"20:34
sarnoldcareful, if you go down that path, you can go crazy :) $IFS is not your friend. $() `` || && < > | etc etc etc20:34
Crellanus: At this point, I'd say upgrade.  There are much newer LTSes, and the odds of someone spending more effort to support a 4 year old release are low unless you pay them to do so.20:34
anusLTS pertains only to security updates amirite?20:35
CrellThe L part, I believe so.  I'm not certain, though.20:35
anusit might be a very small fix tho20:35
CrellKeeping up with the most recent LTS at least of whatever software you're running is generally good advice.20:35
anusNot when rig is single core cpu from 200220:36
sarnoldanus: there's only a limited amount of engineering resources to go around -- if you've got a bug you want fixed, that otherwise doesn't score highly on anyone else's priorities, you might need to prepare a fix for the issue, test it out, etc20:36
anuseverything needed is running fine..just one program refuses to install20:36
CrellHave you reached out to the developer?20:37
Crellleftyfb: I'm getting syntax errors with that.  Unexpected token -v20:37
leftyfbCrell: why are you on dash?20:37
anusI am not able to join the channel due to conservative aproach to running a channel.20:38
anusSomeone is uptight.20:38
CrellIt's not by choice...20:38
leftyfbCrell: what OS?20:38
CrellDebian.  It's what the hosting provider uses.  (Sorry if that's a bit off topic; I thought I just needed generic shell advice, which shouldn't vary *that* much.)20:39
leftyfbCrell: sorry, you'll need to ask for support in #debian20:39
Crellshell script syntax varies that much between OSes?20:39
CrellEr, distros?20:39
leftyfbCrell: apparently in this case if something as simple as grep not supporting -v20:40
leftyfbCrell: this is a perfect example as to why we can only support ubuntu and not other distro's20:41
CrellI think it's more likely a script escaping issue.20:41

chucaraHas anyone ever encountered anything like the following: My Ubuntu Server has two network adapters, both set via netplan to DHCP (IPv4). But only one appears to work - it has acquired an IP: 192.168.1.10, However, when I look in my DHCP server, it toggles between x.x.x.9 and x.x.x.10. And when I run dhclient, the other adapter fails to acquire21:45

lnkcmplxctsarnold ty21:46
TheTalkingYogurtchucara, if you've ever spoofed one of the MACs, your DHCP server may be confused22:01
TheTalkingYogurtor if there are two different machines requesting the same IP22:01
chucaraI've done no spoofing, but I wouldn't rule out that something is running with a static IP somewhere.22:02
chucaraThe mac address doesn't change though22:02
TheTalkingYogurttry checking the static IP list on the DHCP server and make sure there are no conflicts22:02
chucaraThe DHCP was installed today, but it might be an old lease22:03
chucaraTried rebooting the server, and nothing appears to be running on that IP22:04

leftyfbchucara: why do you have 2 network cards on the same network via dhcp? That's not going to work out the way you think22:09
chucaraWhy not? It's working without incident on my NAS?22:10
leftyfbchucara: why?22:10
leftyfbchucara: the problem is, they're both trying to set a default route.22:10
leftyfbchucara: if you want redundancy, then setup bonding across the interfaces and only get and use 1 ip22:11
leftyfbchucara: what is your reasoning for having 2 network interfaces on the same network and both set to dhcp?22:13
chucaraThat was actually the end goal (LinkAggretation), but I figured I'd like to see this working first.22:13
leftyfbchucara: ok, setup LACP. Don't play with a broken network setup like 2 dhcp interfaces on the same network22:13
chucaraDHCP is more that I'd rather setup fixed IPs in the DHCP server and manage it centrally.22:13
leftyfbchucara: since your end goal is LACP, just configure that and be done with it22:14
chucaraOk, I'll just disable this second adapter until I setup LA then. I still find the behavior strange though.22:14

aoxomoxoathen why did they add that into their docs?22:24
oerheks1'they'?22:25
aoxomoxoacanonical22:27
TheTalkingYogurtaoxomoxoa, I honestly can't recommend installing several distros in parallel in 2020 except in edge cases22:27
aoxomoxoait was literally in their help docs22:27
oerheks1show us please?22:27
TheTalkingYogurtyou really should use virtualization22:27
aoxomoxoahttps://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/disk-resize.html.en22:28
oerheks1one can resize a partition unmounted, a running system cannot be easily unmounted, that is why you need a live iso. i am sure there are no canonical docs saying different.22:29
leftyfbaoxomoxoa: do you care about the data on the partition you are resizing?22:29
aoxomoxoanot really, no. its all backed up on another disk22:30
oerheks1oh, that doc is certainly curious22:30
aoxomoxoaright? thats why im confused22:30
TheTalkingYogurtoerheks1, it's pretty vague: just says "not all filesystems have resize support"22:31
oerheks1'To make space for another partition after the filesystem, it can be shrunk according to the free space within it.'  is wrong, imho22:31
oerheks1yeah, that too, without proper example22:31
TheTalkingYogurttechnically that sentence is true for several filesystems22:31
TheTalkingYogurtjust not _simple_ for ext422:32
leftyfbaoxomoxoa: please just take the advice given here and boot to a live cd/usb and do the resizing22:32
aoxomoxoawell shit22:32
aoxomoxoathe whole point was to learn how to do it22:33
TheTalkingYogurtanyway, from a purely practical standpoint, taking the time to do it properly live would properly be longer than rebooting onto a USB stick22:33
aoxomoxoaim just curious as to how i can resize it while running22:33
oerheks1shrink? no.22:33
aoxomoxoarest in peace22:33
TheTalkingYogurtaoxomoxoa, you could maybe do it live with a pivot_root ?22:35
TheTalkingYogurtthe system shouldn't freak out as long as / is accessible, no matter where from22:36
TheTalkingYogurtbut for that you'd have to stop all services than are not stricly in RAM, then copy /* somewhere and execute the pivot_root22:38
TheTalkingYogurtthen you can unmount it without rebooting22:38
TheTalkingYogurtit's quite simple, really22:39
oerheks1no, it is not simple.22:39
TheTalkingYogurtbut probably a huge hassle22:39
TheTalkingYogurtoerheks1, you don't think the pivot_root would work ?22:40
TheTalkingYogurt(I still think virtual machines make more sense)22:41
oerheks1it can work, sure, but not easy to do.22:42
oerheks1anyway, i am going to try to get that page rewritten22:42
TheTalkingYogurtoerheks1, cool :)22:43
