| devios | I have a Brother MFC-L2700DW Printer/Scanner/Fax that's connected to my wifi network. Ubuntu found and prints to it over the network no problem, but I can't seem to find any info on how to use the scanner over the network on Ubuntu. Its http://192.168.x.x/scan/scan.html feature doesn't seem to work in Chrome or Firefox or even in IE or Edge on a Windows machine, so that's useless. | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| helu_ca | devios: for WIndows, there is a Brother scanning app in the Microsoft Store that still works fine with my MFC, different model though. | 00:11 |
| sarnold | devios: what packages are you using to try to scan? | 00:12 |
| lotuspsychje | helu_ca: this is ubuntu support though | 00:13 |
| helu_ca | Then slap me with a large trout and call me stinky! They did say, "feature doesn't seem to work in Chrome or Firefox or even in IE or Edge on a Windows machine, so that's useless." | 00:15 |

| dengi | on lubuntu lxde 18.04 how do I add vpn? add vpn connection button is greyed out using plus to add via edit connections also yet to work | 00:29 |
| sarnold | dengi: run "apt-cache search network-manager-" to see a handful of different packages that provide additional functionality for network-manager -- there may be one for whichever VPN you're trying to use | 00:31 |
| dengi | its an open vpn based vpn | 00:33 |
| sarnold | dengi: install network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-openvpn-gnome and see if that works | 00:35 |
| dengi | sarnold: why cant openvpn handle it without gnome | 00:38 |
| dengi | I do not like gnomes xd | 00:38 |
| sarnold | dengi: well, good point, I just assumed that lxde was using network-manager | 00:38 |
| sarnold | dengi: if they're using something else, then use that :) | 00:38 |
| dengi | lxde uses network manager | 00:41 |
| dengi | so it could have an ldxe plugin? | 00:41 |
| sarnold | I'm not sure, I know next to nothing about the desktop environments | 00:42 |
| dengi | ok | 00:42 |
| dengi | i can use cli right? | 00:42 |
| dengi | to fire up a vpn connection in screen | 00:42 |
| sarnold | yeah, you can use nmcli to start vpn connections, and iirc I even configured my openvpn config using nmcli | 00:45 |
| hiss | Hello everyone my python is broken due to sudo easyinstall pip | 01:00 |
| hiss | Can someone help me please ? | 01:00 |
| hiss | I found "solutions" on askubuntu but i don't to mess things again... | 01:01 |
| guiverc | hiss, you've asked before in multiple rooms | 01:01 |
| hiss | Not in this one | 01:01 |
| hiss | I though we would have more people able to help me. | 01:02 |
| sarnold | hiss: you could try running debsums -sa to find overwrittenfiles, then use apt install --reinstall on those packages | 01:03 |
| sarnold | hiss: maintainer scripts might not necessarily be written with a --reinstall in mind, so it's not something you just want to run on ALL packages, but it sounds like it might be useful to run it on specific packages at the moment | 01:03 |
| hiss | Could you guide me please ? I found multiple askubuntu links, i don't want to mess things again. | 01:05 |
| hiss | Can I share you these links ? | 01:05 |
| hiss | I just to know if the command I do on shell are safe or not so risky. About solutions I found askubuuntu. | 01:06 |
| hiss | At least ? | 01:06 |

| dengi | I just wonder how come it is yet to work out of box xd | 01:34 |

| AlecTaylor | Trying to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04, it told me to remove ppas so I ran https://askubuntu.com/a/646918, now getting apt: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 03:06 |

| blogten | hi, I'm trying to get Desktop Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed. after installation proceeds on a blank disk with nothing on it, booting lands me in grub and nothing further happens. sometimes I see lots of syntax error complaints from grub as well. I did not specify special instructions for partitioning. how do I figure out what's going on? | 05:35 |
| BrokenNephilim | success. running ubuntu from usb. | 05:41 |
| blogten | right, so that's what I did... get the ISO, put it on a USB disk, plug to the machine, install to the boot drive (no updates, nothing special, nothing custom). result: grub, and doesn't boot. the previous attempt resulted in grub with syntax errors all over the place, and still wouldn't boot. | 05:42 |
| BrokenNephilim | i do have grub at boot but a simple bios tweak and i left it as las priority in the boot sequence. | 05:45 |
| BrokenNephilim | funny how i needed a usb to install ubuntu to another usb though. took a while but was simple enough | 05:46 |

| spronkey | hi all - does anyone have any ideas on how to debug a purple screen after login? | 07:22 |
| artistsvoid | spronkey: damn I had that as well, grub options I think, lemme check | 07:23 |
| spronkey | I've just added an nvidia gtx960 to the machine (i5 3450 with iGPU theoretically disabled), which boots fine on nouveau, but won't boot with any of the installed nvidia drivers. Just log in, then purpe | 07:23 |
| spronkey | I did somehow manage to have it working via gtx960 but plugged in via the iGPU first time I booted (as needed to switch bios over but missed the del key!), possibly doing offloading via nvidia prime?, wondering whether its stuck in some state somehow | 07:25 |
| artistsvoid | spronkey: this might not be the fix for you, but try making the following change in /etc/default/grub | 07:25 |
| artistsvoid | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet" | 07:25 |
| artistsvoid | that should eliminate the purple screen | 07:25 |
| spronkey | i had quiet splash | 07:25 |
| spronkey | swapped order | 07:25 |
| spronkey | do I need to run a cmd to get that to stick? | 07:26 |
| artistsvoid | spronkey: you can hold down shift during boot, change it there, and it should boot | 07:26 |
| artistsvoid | to make it stick you will have to edit /etc/default/grub | 07:26 |
| spronkey | yep, just edited, will see what happens | 07:26 |

| mort | uh, why is the nvidia driver version in ubuntu 20.04 called 440.82+really.440.64-0ubuntu6 | 10:48 |
| mort | why is the version 440.82 when it's really 440.64 | 10:48 |
| mort | and how do I convince apt to actually get the proper 440.82 driver from the graphics drivers ppa | 10:49 |
| tatertots | mort: by specifying specifically what package you want to install | 10:50 |
| tatertots | mort: verbatim | 10:50 |
| mort | tatertots: like `apt install nvidia-driver-440=440.82-0ubuntu0~0.20.04.1` I assume? That just tells me I have held broken packages | 10:51 |
| mort | https://p.mort.coffee/UJI | 10:51 |
| mort | and why would there be a version called 440.82+really.440.64, why isn't that just version 440.64 | 10:52 |
| tatertots | mort: are you chatting from the computer right now? | 10:53 |
| mort | yes | 10:53 |
| tatertots | mort: in terminal> apt show nvidia-driver|nc termbin.com 9999 | 10:53 |
| tatertots | mort: share url/link here..if you do not get a url/link..say so | 10:53 |
| mort | https://termbin.com/ybxr | 10:54 |
| mort | that's not very helpful | 10:54 |
| mort | https://p.mort.coffee/mdA | 10:54 |
| mort | that's for nvidia-driver-440 though | 10:54 |
| tatertots | looks like you have only one candidate which is 440 and already installed | 10:56 |
| tatertots | so there's nothing left for you to do | 10:56 |
| mort | but the version installed is 440.64, the graphics-drivers ppa has version 440.82 | 10:56 |
| mort | but ubuntu's 440.64 version seemingly lies to apt and says it's 440.82 | 10:57 |
| tatertots | it's really 440.82 so same thing | 10:57 |
| tatertots | no difference to fuss over | 10:57 |
| mort | so you're saying 440.82+really.440.64 is really 440.82? Why would it have "+really.440.64" in the name then? | 10:58 |
| mort | plus, why would glxinfo report the driver as 440.64 if it's really 440.82? | 10:58 |
| OnceMe | how can I encrypt external hdd disk? using LUKS on 16.04 right? | 11:00 |
| tatertots | if it's really important you could get the driver directly from the nvidia website and install it according to the manufactures versioning | 11:00 |
| mort | but... it's in the graphics-driver ppa | 11:00 |
| mort | for focal | 11:00 |
| mort | apt just thinks ubuntu's built-in fake 440.82+really.440.64 is newer | 11:01 |
| mort | maybe aptitude can fix it | 11:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:04 |
| mort | ok, no, aptitude just broke everything, should've expected that | 11:05 |
| luna_ | hey | 11:05 |
| mort | why do I always have to fix up after canonical's inept packaging | 11:05 |

| mort | no, apt just does the regular user blaming thing it always does | 11:07 |
| mort | "you have held broken packages" | 11:07 |
| BluesKaj | butt your head against the wall if you must | 11:07 |
| mort | BluesKaj: what do you recommend as the solution then? | 11:08 |
| tatertots | mort: you had to manually add this 3rd party graphics PPA correct? | 11:08 |
| mort | what would qualify as not butting my head against the wall | 11:08 |
| mort | tatertots: yes, it's generally what is recommended for ubuntu users who want somewhat not outdated graphics drivers | 11:08 |
| BluesKaj | !aptitude | 11:08 |
| ubottu | Like apt and apt-get, aptitude is a terminal frontend for Ubuntu's package management system. Unlike the others, it is not recommended in Ubuntu because its behavior differs significantly from other Ubuntu package management tools and can cause issues. | 11:08 |
| mort | BluesKaj: THEN WHAT IS THE SOLUTION | 11:08 |
| BluesKaj | !apt | 11:09 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 11:09 |
| mort | BluesKaj: if I'm stupid for having tried to use aptitude, you surely have a better way | 11:09 |
| === dfch_ is now known as dfch | ||
| mort | if you had read any message I have written here, you would have known that apt doesn't work | 11:09 |
| mort | but hey, just blame me for your system being broken, it's what apt does anyways | 11:10 |
| mort | BluesKaj: you're just going to shout at me for using aptitude and you don't even know what the alternative solution would be? | 11:11 |
| mort | fucking awesome | 11:11 |
| mort | but you've all just kind of ignored my question; why would the driver have the version 440.82+really.440.64? Why wouldn't that just be version 440.64 so that apt doesn't fucking break? | 11:21 |
| mort | there's this game where version 440.82 was supposed to fix some huge performance issues with proton; I've for months just rebooted into windows for it after seeing that my system even with 440.82 has huge performance issues, but now that makes complete sense because apt's version fucking lies | 11:22 |
| mort | sorry, I shouldn't be so crass and quick to assume malintent. I'm sure there's a good reason. It's just frustrating is all, especially to be met with y'all thinking this is all my fault somehow | 11:28 |
| pragomer | hi. I bought a brand new lenovo ideapad s145 and wifi is not working at all with 20.04. "additional drivers" does not find a driver. please I need urgent help. | 11:33 |
| pragomer | how can I detect my wifi card? I am sure it must be a f... realtek thing, right? | 11:34 |
| mort | pragomer: can you do `lspci | nc termbin.com 9999`? | 11:35 |
| BluesKaj | pragomer, try nmcli device wifi list | 11:36 |
| pragomer | mort: the output is https://termbin.com/lay6 | 11:38 |
| pragomer | BluesKaj: this command outputs nothing (empty prompt) | 11:38 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 11:38 |
| jeremy31 | pragomer: check BIOS settings, see if WLAN is disabled | 11:39 |
| pragomer | Ok, checking bios.. just a second.. | 11:39 |
| pragomer | Secure boot is off, Wifi is on | 11:40 |
| pragomer | https://termbin.com/lay6 I cannot see what wifi chip is in it.... right? | 11:41 |
| mort | I googled Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device c82f, it seems like that's associated with lots of people having network issues | 11:41 |
| pragomer | omg... even the touchpad does not work either | 11:41 |
| pragomer | man I am so frustrated | 11:42 |
| ioria | pragomer, a bit verbose maybe : lspci -nnk | 11:42 |
| pragomer | ioria: https://pastebin.com/CCy37ysP | 11:43 |
| BluesKaj | nmcli device wifi list should show wifi signals in your area, even if they aren't yours | 11:43 |

| BluesKaj | do you? | 12:10 |
| xbfrog | nope, i fixed all my issues | 12:10 |
| xbfrog | now running ubuntu on both my laptops, exited win 10 it wss annoying | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | xbfrog, pragomer has an issue with wifi card detection, it's non-existent | 12:12 |
| xbfrog | been a user of win since win 3.1 | 12:12 |
| xbfrog | i fixed my wifi issue | 12:12 |
| xbfrog | seems its easier to didable UEFI than to use it | 12:13 |
| xbfrog | disable rather | 12:13 |
| xbfrog | too bad, they dont kake it easier to use | 12:15 |
| xbfrog | ugh make | 12:15 |
| xbfrog | i needed additional wifi drivers and they wouldnt work till i disabled UEFI | 12:16 |
| xbfrog | propierity | 12:16 |
| xbfrog | ugh, cant pell it right | 12:16 |
| xbfrog | then "wala" there was wireless | 12:18 |
| xbfrog | but of course you know all of this | 12:19 |
| xbfrog | the learning curve in linux is sometimes steep | 12:20 |
| xbfrog | ok, really? most times | 12:21 |
| xbfrog | nice install, nice interface | 12:22 |
| xbfrog | but then there are somethings that command line experts want you to do thru the command line, no gui | 12:23 |
| xbfrog | this is why i hated DOS | 12:23 |

| MBoard | hi all, I have a desktop with Ubuntu 18.04 and I have 3 SSD drives. Seems like I cannot get permission to write anything to the 2 other SSD drives, but I can write to the main SSD drive as well as a standard SATA drive. | 12:25 |
| MBoard | Do I need to change permissions or something on ubuntu to access the 2 drives which I cannot access at the moment? | 12:25 |
| MBoard | in case it makes any difference, the drives seem to be mounted as I can see them on the desktop, I can open the drives which are empty, but I cannot write to the drives | 12:26 |
| BluesKaj | MBoard, probly try adding the ssds to /etc/fstab if lsblk lists them | 12:38 |
| MBoard | BluesKaj yes I just added these now, will reboot to see what happens. Thank you | 12:41 |

| Severs | quick question, im sure its normal since it just happens every once in a while and they go away when i reboot, but why do i sometimes see a random sized unmountable volume appear on my desktop? | 13:08 |
| tatertots | Severs: snaps/flatpacks or whatever they are calling them now days | 13:21 |
| Severs | ah, so is it just Ubuntu updating those in the background then? I don't really install anything on here and i notice they pop up once or twice a week and just sit there until i reboot | 13:22 |
| leftyfb | tatertots: what? | 13:25 |
| leftyfb | tatertots: snaps will not do what Severs is reporting | 13:25 |
| severs_ | so it's something else then? | 13:26 |
| === severs_ is now known as severs | ||
| leftyfb | severs_: the next time you see it, open a terminal and type: mount | 13:27 |
| leftyfb | severs: save that list and free to pastebin it here for someone to examine | 13:27 |
| severs | i have one here right now actually, its what made me think of it | 13:27 |
| leftyfb | also screenshot the icon | 13:27 |
| severs | can i send it to you? | 13:29 |
| leftyfb | severs: pastebin here please | 13:30 |
| severs | https://pastebin.com/vq1UFjds | 13:30 |
| severs | https://imgur.com/a/1ewXJBI | 13:30 |
| severs | now if i attempt to tell Ubuntu to mount it it says "Failed to mount 'Volume' The given volume was not found" which makes me feel like its just some background updating thing going on | 13:32 |

| Wayward_Vagabond | How do I disable the trash/trashcan system in ubuntu 18.04? | 13:38 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | I can't remember how I turned it off last time, or really find anything about it, and not seeing any obvious settings | 13:38 |
| coconut | Hi. I am trying to install ubuntu mate 20.04 on a new laptop. What do i have to do with secure boot?(i am new with uefi and secure boot and have no idea what this is). | 13:39 |
| severs | @coconut try this https://www.pcworld.com/article/2951559/how-to-install-linux-on-a-pc-with-secure-boot-enabled.html | 13:44 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | I'm finding stuff that auto deletes trash items or removes the icon, but nothing about disabling the entire lot instead of just hiding it | 13:44 |
| oerheks | coconut, see the uefi manual.. | 13:45 |
| oerheks | !uefi | 13:45 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 13:45 |
| coconut | oerheks, ok thanks, but do i need secureboot? | 13:46 |
| oerheks | secureboot is fine, fastboot not. | 13:46 |
| coconut | oerheks, install asks for password for secureboot. Can i just choose one, or do i have to cp one from uefi? | 13:47 |
| Ben64 | i turned secureboot off | 13:47 |
| oerheks | sunno, the bios password? | 13:47 |
| oerheks | c/dunno | 13:47 |
| oerheks | that password is the last defence against malware | 13:48 |
| oerheks | grinn | 13:48 |
| coconut | Do i really need to create a EFI-system partition? | 13:59 |
| oerheks | with secureboot/uefi, yes | 14:00 |
| oerheks | but ubuntu does that for you | 14:01 |
| coconut | oerheks, when i disable secureboot(need to do that from uefi bios right?) i don't need this? | 14:01 |
| oerheks | without secureboot, you have legacy mbr i guess | 14:02 |
| oerheks | it is all in the manual? | 14:03 |
| coconut | yeah i do not like reading manuals too much, but hehe i will try | 14:04 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | I don't have secureboot on here, but still use an efi partion and gpt-partition table on boot drives | 14:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Joeboy: contact: https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop/issues | 14:21 |

| viju | The cable is good, it worked with the other PC I use | 14:33 |
| viju | Does libvirtd have to do anything with this? | 14:34 |
| lotuspsychje | viju: if you want help with your ubuntu issue, its reccomended you elaborate on details as asked about; the brand/model of your ethernet device, your kernel version, your ubuntu point release etc... | 14:38 |
| oerheks | is this an ubuntu install in libvirt? | 14:39 |
| viju | lotuspsychje: I don't understand what they mean by ethernet device. I can get you the kernel version and what's point release? | 14:39 |
| oerheks | lspci would show the network card ID/chipset | 14:40 |
| oerheks | and what ubuntu version? | 14:40 |
| viju | oerheks: I installed a couple of things long time ago. I am not sure what that is for. After searching on the internet I think it's something to do with virtualbox. I use for windows and other OS. Ubuntu is natively run though | 14:41 |

| lifeboy | I have deleted the boot partition of my laptop NVMe drive which was formatted with the Ubuntu 18.04 installer using LVM and encruption. The machine is still running and the main encrypted partition is entact and readible (aamof I'm actually posting this from the machine). I need to recreate the boot partition. How can I do that? | 16:29 |
| lifeboy | I have tried recovery with various tools (like gparted and others), but nothing is found to recover. | 16:30 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: have you reboot yet? | 16:30 |
| lifeboy | tatertots: No, the system won't boot if I do! | 16:30 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: you should back up any important data/files then | 16:31 |
| lifeboy | I have done so | 16:31 |
| lifeboy | to my NAS | 16:31 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: did you learn any lesson from deleting partitions? | 16:32 |
| lifeboy | I'm thinking it can't be too difficult to only create a new boot partition, must can't find how to do it | 16:32 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: you can boot LiveCD/LiveUSB and play with partitions all day | 16:33 |
| lifeboy | tatertots: you mean like focus on what you're doing late at night when you mean to format a flash drive? :-o | 16:33 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: you'd need to do it from LiveCD/LiveUSB | 16:33 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: so you might as well just reinstall and chalk it up to a lesson and be more careful in the future | 16:34 |
| lifeboy | tatertots: I can do that yes, but then I don't learn anything new in the process. Never waste a disaster as a learning opportunity. | 16:35 |
| lifeboy | I was hoping that somewhere someone has written down what the boot partition starting and ending sectors are for LVM with 18.04. The boot info is there, I just need to add the partition details again | 16:37 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: lol..you can do anything on active partition so you'll be booting to some LiveCD/LiveUSB to repair or recover no matter what...there's nothing more or new for you to learn in this circumstance besides pick the correct disk and double check you've picked the correct disk before making "destructive" changes to partitions | 16:37 |
| tatertots | can/cannot | 16:38 |
| lifeboy | tatertots: do you come from the windows world?? With the reinstall advice I mean... That's not the linus way, is it? | 16:38 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: you couldn't pick the right block device ....are you sure it's not YOU that came from windows world LMAO | 16:38 |
| lifeboy | I want to recreate the boot partition. I know it's possible, but I need the parameters. | 16:40 |
| urxtnw | Can rm -rf / typed without privileges still do damage? | 16:40 |
| lifeboy | Reinstalling is so last century... | 16:40 |
| tatertots | lifeboy: looks like you better got to google'n or duckduckgo'n | 16:40 |
| tatertots | got/get | 16:40 |
| lifeboy | I have, but no luck, which is why I'm here. | 16:41 |
| lifeboy | I'll hang around, maybe someone knows | 16:42 |
| tatertots | ask one of the mods..they might have a link for situation where a person has borked their installation / boot and steps to repair | 16:42 |
| tatertots | there's a tool call bootrec/boot repair that will do it...but you still have to boot it from LiveCD/LiveUSB | 16:43 |
| tatertots | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:44 |
| tatertots | you could use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair maybe it'll save your bacon | 16:44 |

| oerheks | well, try apt --fix-broken install ?? | 20:01 |
| billybigrigger | ya i can read, i'm asking if it's safe, because i know years ago apt would inform you of a command to fix the error, but always ended up borking it more | 20:02 |
| oerheks | after that, 137 packages more comming. sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade ## and reboot | 20:03 |
| billybigrigger | why dist upgrade? i'm not upgrading to a new version | 20:04 |
| oerheks | no, dist-upgrade does not bring a new version | 20:05 |
| oerheks | !dist-upgrade | 20:05 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 20:05 |
| oerheks | newer kernels, core components and such | 20:05 |
| oerheks | so it might be wise to run that command periodicly, or always like me :-D | 20:05 |
| RoseBus | what does it mean if i have a * after the filename? | 20:06 |
| RoseBus | oh i think it just means it's executable | 20:07 |
| EriC^^ | RoseBus: yes | 20:10 |
| billybigrigger | so apt update && apt upgrade is not the correct way to update ubuntu systems anymore? :P | 20:11 |
| oerheks | it might not be sufficient. the update app does it right. | 20:12 |
| billybigrigger | awesome, i think that system hard locked while upgrading systemd | 20:12 |
| billybigrigger | Processing triggers for systemd (237-3ubuntu10.41) ... | 20:13 |

| RoseBus | system requirements for cuda toolkit says i need "linux with a gcc compiler and toolchain" | 20:24 |
| RoseBus | what is toolchain? | 20:24 |
| oerheks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain | 20:25 |
| oerheks | your build packages and tools.. what guide do you follow? | 20:25 |
| RoseBus | how can i determine the correct graphics driver? | 20:46 |
| RoseBus | i have nvidia geforce rtx 2060 | 20:46 |
| RoseBus | i fk'd something up trying to install cuda / nvcc and ended up removing anything with nvidia in its name | 20:47 |
| RoseBus | now i need to reinstall driver | 20:47 |
| oerheks | sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall, would choose the right one | 20:48 |
| RoseBus | ty | 20:48 |
| RoseBus | ls | 20:49 |
| RoseBus | whops | 20:49 |
| tripelb | I've said it before and I'll say it again. 20.04 keeps freezing. Sometimes it releases the mouse but not enough to do anything really. I've open the terminal and looked at top. I don't know what to do except to reinstall which takes a lot of time to back up reinstall and then add programs. Can anyone help me diagnose this and fix it? | 20:58 |
| tripelb | I'm rebooting again. | 20:59 |
| tripelb | Hi leaftype | 20:59 |
| tripelb | If you're available I'll repeat my question about 20.04 freezing | 20:59 |
| fructose | Is there some reason that in Ubuntu MATE Terminal, Ctrl+Shift+s disables the keyboard for just the terminal? | 21:14 |
| noord | fructose, try ctrl+q | 21:15 |
| fructose | noord: That generated a bunch of the keys I'd typed and enabled the keyboard again, thanks. Can you tell me why? | 21:16 |
| noord | fructose, https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/12146 | 21:18 |
| fructose | noord: Thanks! | 21:21 |

| Atlenohen | Hello | 23:20 |
| Atlenohen | Do I have to run grub-mkconfig when I change /etc/default/grub ? | 23:21 |
| oerheks | no, run update-grub | 23:22 |
| oerheks | !grub | 23:23 |

| Wally | Looks like HP's tools but unsure | 23:32 |
| virmaha | not sure if this is right channel, but when I use ffmpeg to convert my .MOV to .mp4, the audio doesn't work | 23:34 |
| Wally | yeah sounds like a question for ffmpeg IRC channel :) | 23:36 |
| virmaha | Wally, posted! | 23:36 |
| Atlenohen | Hmm ... update-grub also talk about some other OSes on other devices ... so Win10 got put into Grub now, I meant to use this as a removable without either OS seeing each other ... but I guess no harm if it's just a boot option right? Don't want Win10 to be messed up | 23:41 |
| qpt | Is there a system utility that will run a script at a certain time? Not a cron job because it's not repeating, but I'd like to run script once at, say, 6PM | 23:44 |
