[00:08] <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.
[00:11] <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.
[00:12] <sarnold> devios: what packages are you using to try to scan?
[00:13] <lotuspsychje> helu_ca: this is ubuntu support though
[00:15] <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]  * sarnold slaps helu_ca with a trout
[00:29] <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
[00:31] <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
[00:33] <dengi> its an open vpn based vpn
[00:35] <sarnold> dengi: install network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-openvpn-gnome and see if that works
[00:38] <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 :)
[00:41] <dengi> lxde uses network manager
[00:41] <dengi> so it could have an ldxe plugin?
[00:42] <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
[00:45] <sarnold> yeah, you can use nmcli to start vpn connections, and iirc I even configured my openvpn config using nmcli
[01:00] <hiss> Hello everyone my python is broken due to sudo easyinstall pip
[01:00] <hiss> Can someone help me please ?
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <hiss> I though we would have more people able to help me.
[01:03] <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
[01:05] <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 ?
[01:06] <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 ?
[01:07] <guiverc> hiss, what OS/release (since you've avoided saying)
[01:07] <hiss> Ubuntu 18.04.3
[01:08] <guiverc> thank you hiss
[01:10] <hiss> sarnold guiverc
[01:11] <hiss> You're welcome.
[01:12] <dengi> sarnold: using --ask it only asks for a password not a user name
[01:13] <dengi> whats the easy way to pass both user name and passwd to nmcli?
[01:16] <sarnold> dengi: hmm, I think I configured mine via a configuration file...
[01:18] <dengi> there are more than 80 of them haha ok I can mass change but
[01:18] <sarnold> dengi: eighty machines?
[01:18] <dengi> maybe just install GUI open vpn client :)
[01:18] <sarnold> :)
[01:32] <dengi> sarnold: openvpn --config client.ovpn --auth-user-pass xd
[01:33] <dengi> but have to enter credential manually
[01:33] <sarnold> dengi: hmm -- once it's set up in openvpn, can you then control it via nmcli?
[01:34] <dengi> what do you mean setup in openvpm
[01:34] <dengi> I just wonder how come it is yet to work out of box xd
[01:34] <dengi> many many people use vpn on linux
[01:35] <sarnold> yeah, and I think they're usually willing to use the gnome gui to configure things :)
[01:35] <dengi> GNOME
[01:35] <dengi> name is bad
[01:36] <dengi> why not chad
[01:36] <dengi> xd just name is kinda bizzare plus it does not  lxde could have lxde open vpn plugin
[01:38] <dengi> funnily enough once imported via nmcli it does appear in VPN connections however yet to become configurable
[01:42] <wmcd> Trying to configure nvidia_drm modeset=1 but for some reason that parameter is not taking at boot.
[01:43] <wmcd> Tried looking over the known issues for the driver but couldn't find any information. Anyone have any pointers?
[01:44] <wmcd> 20.04 / 440.64 / 5.4.0-33
[01:44] <Bashing-om> wmcd: End goal that you want to disable DKMS ? To see if the parameter is set ' cat /proc/cmdline ' .
[01:46] <wmcd> Oh hi! Thank you and your team on the weekly newsletter
[01:47] <Bashing-om> wmcd: UWN always a work in progress :P
[01:47] <wmcd> The end goal is to enable PRIME Synchronization. For that I need modeset set to 1 instead of 0. I've set up an config file in modprobe with that option but it doesn't appear to make any difference.
[01:50] <tripelb> Our job is to spread light and not heat, a reporter on PBS. It's a show with six reporters on zoom being interviewed in a show called reporter Roundup.
[01:52] <Bashing-om> wmcd: Sorry - I am out in left fiels with PRIME Synchronization. No experience there :(
[01:52] <Bashing-om> field*
[01:55] <dengi> sarnold: plus gnome plugin is yet to function on 18.04 lubuntu lxde
[01:55] <wmcd> No problem, I did type my question a bit fast which doesn't help. I'm going to try passing nvidia-drm.modeset=1 in the cmdline to see if that makes a difference
[01:55] <sarnold> dengi: I wonder if you need to restart the nm-applet?
[02:01] <wmcd> Update; looks like that worked.
[02:01] <sarnold> wmcd: woot!
[02:02] <wmcd> Not sure why the entry under modprobe.d didn't work.
[02:02] <sarnold> nvidia_drm vs nvidia-drm perhaps?
[02:08] <dengi> sarnold:  you mean network manager
[02:08] <dengi> I did it
[02:09] <sarnold> dengi: all good?
[02:09] <dengi> to sum up , there are two open vpn packages in 18.04 , pure vpn and likes recommend to use 19.10
[02:09] <dengi> yet to work :)
[02:10] <dengi> sarnold:  ldxe openvpn plugin will fix it only where to get it xd
[02:10] <dengi> or yes openvpn cli connect xd
[02:14] <dengi> there is https://sourceforge.net/projects/oast/
[02:40] <jenia> hello
[02:41] <jenia> why can't I join ubuntu-talk. It says invite only
[02:44] <dengi> sarnold:  ok I stick with cli :P
[02:44] <sarnold> jenia: when I tried to join I was redirected to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:49] <sarnold> jenia: oh, sorry. it took several tries before I noticed it is set +r  -- "Prevents users who are not identified to services from joining the channel" -- https://freenode.net/kb/answer/channelmodes
[02:50] <sarnold> jenia: register your nickname with nickserv, identify to nickserv, and then you'll probably be able to join
[02:55] <el> they already are registered and identifed (you have to be to be in here usually). i'm curious why they're using the other channel name though.
[02:56] <sarnold> man, good thing my week is over :)
[03:01] <Psi-Jack> heh.
[03:02] <Psi-Jack> I've been having an extended "staycation" during these interesting times. :)
[03:05] <AlecTaylor> hi
[03:06] <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
[03:09] <sarnold> AlecTaylor: pastebin the commands you ran?
[03:10] <AlecTaylor> find /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -name "*.list" -print0 | \
[03:10] <AlecTaylor> sarnold - while read -d $'\0' file; do awk -F/ '/deb / && /ppa\.launchpad\.net/ {system("sudo ppa-purge -y ppa:"$4"/"$5)}' "$file"; done
[03:11] <sarnold> AlecTaylor: note that step 2 included the list that was going to purged -- what's that list?
[03:11] <AlecTaylor> sarnold: I cleared my screen
[03:11] <sarnold> ouch
[03:11] <LOA_online> AlecTaylor: me thinks he removed all the ppas
[03:12] <AlecTaylor> So what do I do? - Happy for a clean upgrade, but will be annoyed if I need to back it all up and clean install
[03:18] <sarnold> AlecTaylor: try downloading and installing this package http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gcc-8/libgcc1_8.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04_amd64.deb
[03:19] <AlecTaylor> Thanks
[03:20] <sarnold> time for me to run; good luck with this one AlecTaylor, I hope that's the only thing you're missing. this might be a long process otherwise..
[03:20] <AlecTaylor> do-release upgrade seems to be working…
[03:21] <sarnold> I used apt-file to find likely paths, then dpkg -S on a bionic machine to double-check, then apt-cache policy to make sure I was selecting the right version from the archive
[03:21] <sarnold> YES
[03:21] <sarnold> that sounds promising :)
[03:21] <sarnold> good luck, have fun
[03:41] <AlecTaylor> Restarted and it works sarnold - 20.04 FTW
[05:16] <kinghat> sudo rtcwake -m no -l -t $(date +%s -d "today 03:55") why would it respond with > rtcwake: wakeup using /dev/rtc0 at Sat Jun  6 08:54:59 2020?
[05:17] <kinghat> same with -u and using seconds, 03:55:00. i have a backup that needs to run at 04:00 so i need to wake the system.
[05:35] <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?
[05:41] <BrokenNephilim> success. running ubuntu from usb.
[05:42] <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.
[05:45] <BrokenNephilim> i do have grub at boot but a simple bios tweak and i left it as las priority in the boot sequence.
[05:46] <BrokenNephilim> funny how i needed a usb to install ubuntu to another usb though. took a while but was simple enough
[05:48] <blogten> I get the grub command line, not the grub menu to boot ubuntu.  ubuntu just does not boot.
[06:33] <blogten> installing Ubuntu again with the BIOS set to Legacy boot results in another boot failure, but this time there is a useful message "invalid arch-independent ELF magic".  why would this happen on a fresh install?...
[06:35] <zetheroo> just noticed something weird on my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop ... when the lid is closed and the laptop is in sleep/suspend mode Pidgin periodically reconnects. :D I hear the audible notification and when I wake the laptop after a couple hours the Pidgin Nicksrv window is open and showing multiple connect messages ... how can this be happening!?
[06:37] <akem> Hey, anyone got an apparmor profile that works for "skypeforlinux"? I try to create one, but it prevent skype from launching :X
[06:44] <artistsvoid> think my 20.04 install is broken (I used the minimal.iso to install, as I always do) - update upgrade dist-upgrade run, but NEVER upgrade ANYTHING, and trying to install gnome-tweak-tool says I've held broken packages, relevant screenshot https://i.imgur.com/ezYS6nr.png - can anyone else recommend where to look at?
[06:46] <artistsvoid> if I can't fix this I will re-install, but I hope I can fix it somehow
[06:50] <OnceMe> hello df -h says /dev/sda5              184G  157G   18G  90% / however for my /home/onceme it ndcu says only 64G is used, where is the rest used??
[06:51] <BT40> some of my keys in keyboard are not working correctly. nothing is typed hen i press them. earlier they ere fine. i have tried these commands but no solution ..... sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration         ..... sudo loadkeys us
[06:51] <BT40> please help i ont be able to login nexttime if passor eys are messed up
[06:53] <BT40> also restarted system 2 times even after commands no improvement
[07:02] <sherlock> One machine where I did a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install has the following:
[07:02] <sherlock> $ pip3 --version
[07:02] <sherlock> pip 20.1.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pip (python 3.6)
[07:02] <sherlock> Where as, another system upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 has the following:
[07:02] <sherlock> $ pip3 --version
[07:02] <sherlock> pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.6)
[07:17] <petrj> is there a complete/exhaustive list of packages that are preinstalled in the standard ubuntu image?
[07:21]  * artistsvoid fixed his problem * DONE * PROBLEM FIXED *
[07:22] <sherlock> Is there any apt switch that lets me figure out which package some installed files came from?
[07:22] <spronkey> hi all - does anyone have any ideas on how to debug a purple screen after login?
[07:23] <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
[07:25] <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
[07:26] <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] <artistsvoid> spronkey: hope it helps
[07:26] <spronkey> login screen...
[07:27] <spronkey> aaaaaand purple
[07:27] <spronkey> :(
[07:27] <spronkey> there's no ouse cursor either
[07:27] <artistsvoid> :/
[07:27] <artistsvoid> I haven't had a dedicated GPU for many years now, I'm sorry
[07:28] <spronkey> Jun  6 19:27:11 garold systemd[1]: Started User Manager for UID 1000.
[07:28] <spronkey> thats last entry in syslog
[07:28] <spronkey> no errors in dmesg
[07:28] <artistsvoid> hope someone can help you, I think I can't
[07:28]  * spronkey tries turning on and off his tv
[07:29] <spronkey> damn
[07:29] <spronkey> haha
[07:29] <spronkey> no luck there either
[07:30] <spronkey> oo amybe i should delete .nvidia-settings.rc
[07:31] <spronkey> considering it was working when hdmi was plugged in to igpu first time I booted, and dthe nvidia driver was definitely loaded and detecting card, i'm thinking there might be some sort of stray setting
[07:32] <akem_> spronkey, "dpkg -S /bin/ls" <- what package provides /bin/ls.
[07:33] <spronkey> coreutils
[07:33] <akem_> Yeah, i mean if you need to know it for some other file on your system.
[07:33] <spronkey> akem_ : coreutils: /bin/ls
[07:33] <spronkey> oh i see
[07:33] <akem_> It was just an example.
[07:34] <spronkey> hmm... no path for nvidia-settings.rc
[07:34] <spronkey> guessing it gets created once oyu load nvidia tool or something
[07:35] <spronkey> proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount                    loaded active waiting   Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Automount Point
[07:38] <zetheroo> just noticed something weird on my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop ... when the lid is closed and the laptop is in sleep/suspend mode Pidgin periodically reconnects. :D I hear the audible notification and when I wake the laptop after a couple hours the Pidgin Nicksrv window is open and showing multiple connect messages ... how can this be happening!?
[07:40] <spronkey> oh interesting, ubuntu on wayland works
[08:01] <spronkey> yeah.... purple screen on x
[08:01] <spronkey> opens fine on wayland
[08:01] <spronkey> but nvidia drivers dont seem to work on wayland...
[08:03] <mixfix41> i think theyve been working alright
[08:04] <mixfix41> is it not the nvidia drivers then it might be nouveau iirc
[08:04] <mixfix41> i could be wrong
[08:04] <mixfix41> make sure xorg.conf is present when using the nvidia drivers
[08:04] <mixfix41> actually the nvidia blob puts it there so it should be there
[08:55] <coconut> How should i configure swapping when creating a multiboot of more distro's?
[09:07] <viktor_> hi. i'm trying to set up mdadm to send email. but sending a test msg i get the error from google that my ip isn't authorized. can i configure sendmail to log in to google smtp somehow, or is there another workaround?
[09:51] <spronkey> hmm, how can i, via CLI, reinstall nvidia drivers and have them do whatever they need to do xorg config to remove whatever random settings are in place at the moment?
[09:51] <spronkey> My machine will log in to a blank purple screen unless I remove /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
[10:02] <viktor_> spronkey: something like this? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1823659
[10:02] <spronkey> viktor_ yeah, i've basically been doing that, along with apt remove --purge nvidia*
[10:02] <spronkey> but I think i've mangled my config
[10:04] <viktor_> spronkey: if you purged there shouldn't be a config file anymore
[10:08] <spronkey> something is really screwed
[10:08] <spronkey> i reinstalled xorg
[10:08] <spronkey> and now i get a white screen with a desktop, but nothing is actually clickable
[10:11] <Joeboy> Hi. I'm trying to work out why an app (Signal Desktop Messenger) is showing in my list of applications when I press the windows key. I can't find where it's installed. Tried finding / grepping for .desktop files with signal in the name, I don't seem to have any. Any ideas?
[10:22] <Joeboy> I found this: /home/joe/snap/chromium/1143/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbppfkghcmihk/0.48.1_0/protos/WhisperTextProtocol.proto, which I guess might be related, but not sure and if it is, I don't know how I'd uninstall it.
[10:22] <Joeboy> Maybe I just have to live with having a redundant app on my computer.
[10:23] <Joeboy> Or maybe I can just delete that folder
[10:23] <Joeboy> Who knows.
[10:25] <Joeboy> It sort of looks like I have two versions of chromium installed under snap, but only one shows up in snap list.
[10:26] <Joeboy> (I hate snap)
[10:48] <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
[10:49] <mort> and how do I convince apt to actually get the proper 440.82 driver from the graphics drivers ppa
[10:50] <tatertots> mort: by specifying specifically what package you want to install
[10:50] <tatertots> mort: verbatim
[10:51] <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
[10:52] <mort> and why would there be a version called 440.82+really.440.64, why isn't that just version 440.64
[10:53] <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
[10:54] <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
[10:56] <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
[10:57] <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
[10:58] <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?
[11:00] <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
[11:01] <mort> apt just thinks ubuntu's built-in fake 440.82+really.440.64 is newer
[11:01] <mort> maybe aptitude can fix it
[11:04] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:05] <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
[11:07] <BluesKaj> use apt
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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] <mort> BluesKaj: THEN WHAT IS THE SOLUTION
[11:09] <BluesKaj> !apt
[11:09] <mort> BluesKaj: if I'm stupid for having tried to use aptitude, you surely have a better way
[11:09] <mort> if you had read any message I have written here, you would have known that apt doesn't work
[11:10] <mort> but hey,  just blame me for your system being broken, it's what apt does anyways
[11:11] <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
[11:21] <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?
[11:22] <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
[11:28] <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
[11:33] <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.
[11:34] <pragomer> how can I detect my wifi card? I am sure it must be a f... realtek thing, right?
[11:35] <mort> pragomer: can you do `lspci | nc termbin.com 9999`?
[11:36] <BluesKaj> pragomer, try nmcli device wifi list
[11:38] <pragomer> mort: the output is https://termbin.com/lay6
[11:38] <pragomer> BluesKaj: this command outputs nothing (empty prompt)
[11:38] <BluesKaj> ok
[11:39] <jeremy31> pragomer: check BIOS settings, see if WLAN is disabled
[11:39] <pragomer> Ok, checking bios.. just a second..
[11:40] <pragomer> Secure boot is off, Wifi is on
[11:41] <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
[11:42] <pragomer> man I am so frustrated
[11:42] <ioria> pragomer, a bit verbose maybe : lspci -nnk
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <mort> BluesKaj: not if the wifi card isn't even detected by the kernel
[11:44] <ioria> pragomer, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1216699/wifi-adapter-not-found-in-ubuntu-18-04-no-drivers-for-device-rtl8822ce
[11:46] <Dr_Coke> Hey BluesKaj :)
[11:46] <BluesKaj> hi Dr_Coke
[11:47] <Dr_Coke> BluesKaj, How are you ?
[11:47] <BluesKaj> doing ok here Dr_Coke, how about you?
[11:48] <Dr_Coke> BluesKaj, I got an issue with my car it's to low and it's split the front guard I was pretty upset when I found that out
[11:48] <Dr_Coke> BluesKaj, but apart from that I am doing ok
[11:48] <BluesKaj> right
[11:50] <Dr_Coke> BluesKaj, how is kubuntu coming along?
[11:51] <BluesKaj> running fine, Groovy is just "groovy" :-)
[11:51] <Dr_Coke> lol
[11:53] <BluesKaj> Dr_Coke, gotta keep this conversation to support, otherwise we'll be reminded to
[11:53] <Dr_Coke> oh
[11:53] <BluesKaj> yup, a little more strict than ##linux
[11:55] <Dr_Coke> damn
[12:01] <BluesKaj> there are offtopic chans like ubuntu-offtopic or kubuntu-offtopic for general chat
[12:03] <Dr_Coke> BluesKaj, talk later man
[12:03] <Dr_Coke> I need a shower
[12:03] <An_Si1224> hallo world
[12:07] <xbfrog> hi
[12:08] <xbfrog> you have a question?
[12:10] <BluesKaj> do you?
[12:10] <xbfrog> nope, i fixed all my issues
[12:11] <xbfrog> now running ubuntu on both my laptops, exited win 10 it wss annoying
[12:12] <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
[12:13] <xbfrog> seems its easier to didable UEFI than to use it
[12:13] <xbfrog> disable rather
[12:15] <xbfrog> too bad, they dont kake it easier to use
[12:15] <xbfrog> ugh make
[12:16] <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
[12:18] <xbfrog> then "wala" there was wireless
[12:19] <xbfrog> but of course you know all of this
[12:20] <xbfrog> the learning curve in linux is sometimes steep
[12:21] <xbfrog> ok, really? most times
[12:22] <xbfrog> nice install, nice interface
[12:23] <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
[12:24] <xbfrog> syntax errors are super annoying
[12:24]  * coconut whispers something about offtopic to xbfrog
[12:24] <xbfrog> gohead my lovely
[12:25] <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?
[12:26] <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
[12:38] <BluesKaj> MBoard, probly try adding the ssds to /etc/fstab if lsblk lists them
[12:41] <MBoard> BluesKaj yes I just added these now, will reboot to see what happens.  Thank you
[13:08] <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?
[13:21] <tatertots> Severs: snaps/flatpacks or whatever they are calling them now days
[13:22] <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
[13:25] <leftyfb> tatertots: what?
[13:25] <leftyfb> tatertots: snaps will not do what Severs is reporting
[13:26] <severs_> so it's something else then?
[13:27] <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
[13:29] <severs> can i send it to you?
[13:30] <leftyfb> severs: pastebin here please
[13:30] <severs> https://pastebin.com/vq1UFjds
[13:30] <severs> https://imgur.com/a/1ewXJBI
[13:32] <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
[13:35] <leftyfb> severs: sorry, nothing I notice at the moment and I need to step away for the day
[13:38] <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
[13:39] <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).
[13:44] <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
[13:45] <oerheks> coconut, see the uefi manual..
[13:45] <oerheks> !uefi
[13:46] <coconut> oerheks, ok thanks, but do i need secureboot?
[13:46] <oerheks> secureboot is fine, fastboot not.
[13:47] <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
[13:48] <oerheks> that password is the last defence against malware
[13:48] <oerheks> grinn
[13:59] <coconut> Do i really need to create a EFI-system partition?
[14:00] <oerheks> with secureboot/uefi, yes
[14:01] <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?
[14:02] <oerheks> without secureboot, you have legacy mbr i guess
[14:03] <oerheks> it is all in the manual?
[14:04] <coconut> yeah i do not like reading manuals too much, but hehe i will try
[14:18] <Wayward_Vagabond> I don't have secureboot on here, but still use an efi partion and gpt-partition table on boot drives
[14:21] <lotuspsychje> Joeboy: contact:   https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop/issues
[14:28] <coconut> oerheks, do you find secure boot viable yourself?
[14:28] <viju> Hello, the ethernet connection doesn't work for me on Ubuntu. I can connect using wifi. I am not sure what I have changed that caused it to not connect me anymore. Plugging in the ethernet cable to the computer doesn't work. How can I get this to fix? Ubuntu 18.04
[14:29] <oerheks> coconut, yes.
[14:29] <coconut> ok, will try to install it then...
[14:30] <jeremy31> viju: what ethernet device?
[14:30] <viju> I am not sure how to answer that.
[14:31] <oerheks> swap internet cable?
[14:31] <viju> I don't know what you mean by ethernet device
[14:33] <viju> The cable is good, it worked with the other PC I use
[14:34] <viju> Does libvirtd have to do anything with this?
[14:38] <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...
[14:39] <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?
[14:40] <oerheks> lspci would show the network card ID/chipset
[14:40] <oerheks> and what ubuntu version?
[14:41] <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] <bluez_> Hey guys
[14:41] <viju> oerheks: ubuntu 18.04
[14:41] <bluez_> I have setup a static ipv6 on net plan but there is also another ipv6 through Slaac with a route
[14:42] <bluez_> How can I ensure my static ipv6 is used as the default and not the slaac one?
[14:42] <viju> This uname -a output: Linux den 4.15.0-101-generic #102-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 11 10:07:26 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[14:57] <oerheks> the networkcable should work, driver loaded, and no issues reported with that driver, AFAIK
[14:57] <oerheks> so, what is missing in your information?
[15:04] <viju> I've been using Ubuntu for more than 10 years like a grandma and I still struggle with simple things I am sorry, I don't know how to look for the information. If I knew I would definitely share it.
[15:04] <viju> Thanks for your help
[16:29] <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?
[16:30] <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!
[16:31] <tatertots> lifeboy: you should back up any important data/files then
[16:31] <lifeboy> I have done so
[16:31] <lifeboy> to my NAS
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <tatertots> lifeboy: so you might as well just reinstall and chalk it up to a lesson and be more careful in the future
[16:35] <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.
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <lifeboy> I have, but no luck, which is why I'm here.
[16:42] <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
[16:43] <tatertots> there's a tool call bootrec/boot repair that will do it...but you still have to boot it from LiveCD/LiveUSB
[16:44] <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
[17:20] <EriC^^> lifeboy: hey what's up
[17:21] <EriC^^> lifeboy: by boot partition you mean the efi partition?
[18:04] <sharpertool> I have a terminal in an embedded Ubuntu system. The editing is hopelessly messed up. Editing a single line wraps before the terminal end, and using vi or vim on a file just scrolls to the end of file, and editing is impossible.
[18:05] <sharpertool> Moving up to the top line of the sceeen just displays a single line, scrolled.
[18:05] <sharpertool> I set TERM variable, and used stty rows and colums to match the current size.
[18:05] <sharpertool> Not sure what other knobs to turn to make things work
[18:16] <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.
[18:17] <The_LoudSpeaker> Hey! One of my friends is trying to install ubuntu 20.04 and he's getting following screen on opening the installer: https://upload.disroot.org/r/2r8PnL82#kcM9LCsrcn31KWDkTsAdC1upSX4EgqpKQMqaRYJr7UI=
[18:17] <The_LoudSpeaker> Any ideas?
[18:18] <oerheks> devios, maybe the scanner wiki is any help; see sane https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Scanners#Setting_up_Network_Scanning
[18:20] <zetheroo>  just noticed something weird on my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop ... when the lid is closed and the laptop is in sleep/suspend mode Pidgin periodically reconnects. :D I hear the audible notification and when I wake the laptop after a couple hours the Pidgin Nicksrv window is open and showing multiple connect messages ... how can this be happening!?
[18:20] <devios> oerheks, that seems to point to instructions for plugging the scanner into a server and setting up sane daemon on that server so networked clients can use it.
[18:20] <dominic34> @The_LoudSpeaker  I'm no expert, but I believe that has something to do with Ubuntu not picking up the graphics card.
[18:22] <dominic34> @The_LoudSpeaker This article may also help. https://itsfoss.com/pcie-bus-error-severity-corrected/
[18:23] <oerheks> !nomodeset
[18:26] <devios> zerotex_, what model of laptop is it?  have you searched to see if there's anyone talking about [your-model ubuntu sleep mode] in search engines or for a page about your model in the ubuntu wiki?
[18:27] <devios> zetheroo, what model of laptop is it?  have you searched to see if there's anyone talking about [your-model ubuntu sleep mode] in search engines or for a page about your model in the ubuntu wiki?
[18:27] <devios> sorry zerotex_
[18:27] <zetheroo> devios: Thinkpad T450s
[18:29] <zetheroo> devios: I haven't found anything applicable online
[18:33] <devios> zetheroo, closest think I found so far: https://web.math.rochester.edu/people/faculty/akrish11/2015/04/10/lenovo-thinkpad-t450s-review-and-linux-arch-and-ubuntu-install.html via https://duckduckgo.com/?q=T450s+%2B%22sleep%22+%2Bubuntu&t=canonical&ia=web
[18:35] <zetheroo> devios: thanks but that's a bit old (2015). I only had this problem with 20.04, never with 18.04

[18:49] <oerheks> shibboleth, interesting.. but this is ubuntu support, not your mint fan channel
[18:49] <shibboleth> never actually used mint
[18:49] <The_LoudSpeaker> dominic34: the laptop has no dedicated graphics. Only intel integrated ones
[18:50] <The_LoudSpeaker> Right now trying the kernel parameters mentioned in the link you sent.
[18:50] <shibboleth> but i have been telling you lot that the whole snap-thing is a huge mistake
[18:50] <oerheks> shibboleth, take that to #ubuntu-discuss, thanks
[18:50] <The_LoudSpeaker> +1
[19:18] <The_LoudSpeaker> dominic34: the kernel parameters from that link worked. Thanks!
[19:48] <ice99> guys, would you help me with this poll as it will help with a future project, thanks! https://www.quiz-maker.com/poll2964876x7a3447f2-87

[19:59] <billybigrigger> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[19:59] <billybigrigger>  linux-image-4.15.0-91-generic : Depends: linux-modules-4.15.0-91-generic but it is not installed
[19:59] <billybigrigger> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[19:59] <billybigrigger> is it safe to run --fix-broken install while messing with kernel packages?
[19:59] <billybigrigger> or am i caught in a mirror refresh where there are missing pkgs on the repo?
[19:59] <oerheks> 'while messing with' .. what are you doing?
[20:00] <billybigrigger> apt update && apt upgrade is all im trying to do
[20:00] <oerheks> it is safe to run fix broken, but howcome it did not install properly?
[20:00] <billybigrigger> haven't touched linux in awhile, and everytime i got package errors while upgrade, and they involve the kernel, it's never good :P
[20:00] <billybigrigger> oerheks i'll paste the log
[20:01] <billybigrigger> https://paste.mozilla.org/EQSr0nxj
[20:01] <oerheks> well, try apt --fix-broken install ??
[20:02] <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
[20:03] <oerheks> after that, 137 packages more comming. sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade ## and reboot
[20:04] <billybigrigger> why dist upgrade? i'm not upgrading to a new version
[20:05] <oerheks> no, dist-upgrade does not bring a new version
[20:05] <oerheks> !dist-upgrade
[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
[20:06] <RoseBus> what does it mean if i have a * after the filename?
[20:07] <RoseBus> oh i think it just means it's executable
[20:10] <EriC^^> RoseBus: yes
[20:11] <billybigrigger> so apt update && apt upgrade is not the correct way to update ubuntu systems anymore? :P
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <billybigrigger> Processing triggers for systemd (237-3ubuntu10.41) ...
[20:13] <billybigrigger> Progress: [ 95%]
[20:13] <billybigrigger> can't ssh in anymore lol
[20:24] <RoseBus> system requirements for cuda toolkit says i need "linux with a gcc compiler and toolchain"
[20:24] <RoseBus> what is toolchain?
[20:25] <oerheks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain
[20:25] <oerheks> your build packages and tools.. what guide do you follow?
[20:46] <RoseBus> how can i determine the correct graphics driver?
[20:46] <RoseBus> i have nvidia geforce rtx 2060
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <oerheks> sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall, would choose the right one
[20:48] <RoseBus> ty
[20:49] <RoseBus> ls
[20:49] <RoseBus> whops
[20:58] <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?
[20:59] <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
[21:14] <fructose> Is there some reason that in Ubuntu MATE Terminal, Ctrl+Shift+s disables the keyboard for just the terminal?
[21:15] <noord> fructose, try ctrl+q

[23:10] <Stephanie> How do I remove snapd
[23:10] <virmaha> oerheks , like

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

[23:30] <Wally> I have this process "/sbin/cpqIde -f" chewing up a high portion of my CPU in Ubuntu, anyone know what it would be used for on a HP Proliant MicroServer?
[23:32] <Wally> Looks like HP's tools but unsure
[23:34] <virmaha> not sure if this is right channel, but when I use ffmpeg to convert my .MOV to .mp4, the audio doesn't work
[23:36] <Wally> yeah sounds like a question for ffmpeg IRC channel :)
[23:36] <virmaha> Wally, posted!
[23:41] <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
[23:44] <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
[23:52] <adam4567> Which is a good scanner program, for Ubuntu 18.04? Gimp 2.8.22 doesn't have a scanner input any more. Simple Scan 3.28.0, works but is not great. Any suggestions welcome.

[23:54] <p0a> Is there a program I can use to utilize my laptops camera and capture video?
