[00:13] <ningu> I've noticed that when I do "lxc list", I get this error: cannot create temporary directory for the root file system: Permission denied
[00:14] <ningu> any idea where it's trying to create that temporary directory? and what the permission issue might be?
[00:17] <ningu> erm... well strace says it's /tmp/snap.rootfs_gif0dt
[00:22] <ningu> ahh it's being denied by apparmor
[00:23] <akik> ningu: is that using lxd snap?
[00:23] <ningu> yes. I think this is because I symlinked /tmp to /var/tmp
[00:24] <ningu> and it's messing up the apparmor profile
[00:30] <ningu> yeah that was it
[00:58] <abtm_> I am trying to test my cluster of caching proxies and was looking for a large non-snap package (traditional apt managed package or metapackage) that is 20 to 30 mb
[00:58] <abtm_> last test I tried wine
[00:58] <abtm_> need another one
[00:58] <abtm_> any suggestions?
[00:58] <abtm_> also have libreoffice installed as well

[03:29] <slivera> just trying to install ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my dell xps13 and i'm finding the screen flickers unless I boot it into graphics safe mode, but now i'm finding that it quickly tries the standard boot mode and doesn't give me the option to select safe graphics mode (this is using the USB) - anyone got tips on how to proceed here?
[03:30] <slivera> i.e. that screen where you pick to just boot standard Ubuntu or select graphics safe mode flashes up only for a split second and I don't have the time to select graphics safe mode
[03:31] <EriC^^> slivera: the recovery menu?
[03:33] <slivera> EriC^^, not sure if thats the correct term but basically black screen with a border and like 5 choices, usually I think the default is to boot live version of Ubuntu. So i think it's auto-picking that without giving me a choice
[03:34] <EriC^^> slivera: oh, try spamming the 'e' maybe it opens the edit menu
[03:35] <EriC^^> then add 'nomodeset' to the linux /boot ........ <kernel parameters here> line and press f10 to boot
[03:35] <slivera> oh but I haven't installed it yet? I wanted to live boot into safe graphics mode, then do the install
[03:36] <EriC^^> yeah that should boot with safe  graphics
[03:36] <EriC^^> it's basically what happens when you choose safe graphics from the menu
[03:36] <slivera> hmm just tried spamming e on boot, still not working for me, its going normal liveboot
[03:37] <ledeni> slivera: try press tab when boot live usb
[03:37] <EriC^^> try holding shift perhaps
[03:42] <slivera> so I presume the order then its: go into one time boot menu, select USB, then hold shift while waiting?
[03:43] <EriC^^> yeah
[03:44] <Bashing-om> slivera: At the purple splash screen (stick figure keyboard emblems at bottom of screen) -> hit any key ->
[03:44] <Bashing-om> Language screen -> escape key to accept the default ->
[03:44] <Bashing-om> Booting options screen -> F6 key (other options) -> arrow down to the preset option(s) space or enter to accept and then the escape key to exit
[03:45] <slivera> ah holding shift worked! thanks EriC^^ - will boot up live version then install ubuntu and just wipe the windows off this thing. Any tips on how to make it boot safe graphics every time?
[03:45] <slivera> i presume thats where I'd have to press e and edit some command setting? like the 'nomodeset' thing?
[03:47] <EriC^^> slivera: yeah, you can add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub and then sudo update-grub to make it effective
[03:48] <EriC^^> slivera: a driver might fix it though why not give that a shot instead?
[03:49] <Bashing-om> slivera: Be aware that "nomodeset" does much more than just disabling the graphic's driver as all DKMS is disabled - "nomodeset" should only be temporary untill the situation is resolved.
[03:51] <slivera> ok well i'm doing the formatting and installing ubuntu now, will explore the graphics driver EriC^^  and thanks for the tip Bashing-om
[03:52] <Bashing-om> slivera: :D - We are here to help.
[04:06] <slivera> so Bashing-om I've now installed ubuntu on the laptop, but its got that flickering thing and now i dont even get that option to pick graphics safe mode on boot up, is there a key combo i'm missing here?
[04:08] <Bashing-om> slivera: If it is a MBR (Non UEFI) install it is the shift key that grub looks for as soon as the bios screen clears. In grubs boot menu is advanced options - from here choose "recovery". We then need to see what the graphic's situation is.
[04:10] <slivera> hmm its a Dell XPS 13 9380, so i think it's a intel graphics thing. will try the shift key
[04:11] <Bashing-om> slivera: UEFI machines it is the escape key - spam it as there is but a 3 second window of opportunity.
[04:12] <slivera> Bashing-om, cool so i'm in GRUB, i've got a terminal now, what next?
[04:12] <Bashing-om> sincere_fox: And while on my mind - if it is a UEFI machine ya really do wnat to install in UEFI mode ( ubuntu will install either).
[04:13] <slivera> Well pressing esc was what got me into it, so I guess I did UEFI?
[04:13] <sincere_fox> :p
[04:14] <Bashing-om> slivera: Yup - great uefi :) .. ol let's jve a look at graphics on this box: pastebin the output of terminal command ' lspci -k | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' ' .
[04:15] <Bashing-om> slivera: * OK let's have a look *
[04:16] <slivera> oh wait no sorry I think it is non UEFI, i pressed shift and now i've got the 3 options - Ubuntu, advanced optiosn for ubuntu, and UEFI firmware settings
[04:18] <Bashing-om> slivera: Literally running "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS" will tell you if you're booted via UEFI.
[04:19] <slivera> i get syntax error, on both comands there - the lspci one and the echo BIOS one
[04:19] <slivera> thats doing the command in GRUB, unless i should be doing it on actual terminal in the booted up ubuntu?
[04:20] <slivera> maybe i try booting into the recovery mode instead of standard? or is there where i should set that nomode thing
[04:20] <Bashing-om> slivera: The commands with out the quote marks - those are here to indicate that the string is a command.
[04:21] <slivera> lspci -k | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d'
[04:21] <slivera> so i typed that and got syntax error, do you mean without even the single quotation marks around vga 3d ?
[04:23] <Bashing-om> slivera: that terminal ' is the issue. lspci -k | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' | nc termbin.com 9999
[04:24] <Bashing-om> slivera: My result: https://termbin.com/k5u0
[04:25] <slivera> yeah i'm just getting syntax error
[04:25] <slivera> maybe i try booting into recovery mode
[04:26] <Bashing-om> slivera: wierd - what results ' sudo apt update ' ?
[04:28] <slivera> oh i just booted into recovery mode and now the graphics is working fine in here - also was able to do that command, will put it in a pastebin one sec
[04:28] <slivera> https://pastebin.com/n7bi2etD
[04:33] <Bashing-om> slivera: Intel - Intel "just works" abd the driver is included in the kernel. I do not know what else to check here as the i915 driver is loaded :(
[04:35] <Bashing-om> slivera: Have you updated the install ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' since the install ?
[04:35] <slivera> Bashing-om, ah no i haven't, will try those now
[04:36] <Bashing-om> slivera: Maybe a firmware upgrade in in the upgrade .
[04:38] <slivera> yeah the sudo apt update and upgrade didn't seem to fix it, normal boot still does this weird flickering thing. it seems so weird that i have to go thru recovery mode to have my graphics work fine with no flickering
[04:43] <Bashing-om> slivera: See and consider the advise at the bottom ' apt show xserver-xorg-video-intel ' . Confirm eith ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel '.
[04:43] <Bashing-om> with*
[04:45] <slivera> https://pastebin.com/XhRf29VU is what I get, basically it's saying its an old driver
[04:47] <Bashing-om> slivera: And is that driver installed ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel ' ?
[04:49] <slivera> yeah it shows up when i type that command, but i can't see where it says installed or not, i presume yes
[04:51] <Bashing-om> slivera: the leading "ii" shws desired == (i)nstalled status == (i)nstalled. Looking to find the means to know IF that is the driver that is in use at this time.
[04:52] <slivera> ah thanks ok
[04:59] <Bashing-om> slivera: Sorry - I do not have Intel skills sufficient to know I will not mislead you - Await here for others with the skills to aid.
[04:59] <slivera> awesome well thanks very much for your help anyway Bashing-om
[05:17] <EriC^^> slivera: try 'sudo ubuntu-drivers devices' and see what it lists
[05:18] <EriC^^> it should show the available drivers and recommended one that has a "*" next to it
[05:18] <EriC^^> i might be wrong here, been a while
[05:26] <r3dux> I am trying to install picom-tryone in Ubuntu. I have it running on my arch systems installed via yay... How do I install this in ubuntu? All I can seem to find is a pkgbuild file.. how do I build this?
[05:29] <EriC^^> !info picom-tryone
[05:29] <EriC^^> r3dux: ppa perhaps?
[05:30] <Bashing-om> !info compton | r3dux this ?
[05:41] <r3dux> ubottu: no.. I need the compton-tryone-git or picom-tryone-git forks
[05:41] <r3dux> I want that blurrrrr
[05:43] <r3dux> EriC^^: I can't fint a ppa :( just a pkgbuild file... bit its like reading chinese to me. I need something i can compile
[06:00] <Drecondius> I can't get my windows drive to boot from grub. It's shown, and I just had to re-install grub. and it's not booting, if you need an error message from it I can boot again and grab a pic of it.
[06:02] <Drecondius> It's on a seperate drive from ubuntu's / and, as I said before, it shows on the grub menu, I'll be right back and pop in with the error
[06:07] <Drecondius> Ok,ay, when trying to boot windows it's as follows :
[06:08] <Drecondius> error: no such device : 70dc1b12dc1ad268
[06:08] <Drecondius> setting partition type to 0x83
[06:08] <Drecondius> error: Invalid signature
[06:10] <Drecondius> and this is all from the grub menu
[06:17] <Drecondius> any ideas on how to correct this?
[06:49] <guiverc> Drecondius, it's likely the issue is UUID, use `blkid` to view your UUIDs, and compare the wanted partition UUID with that listed in grub (sorry I don't have a windows system to look at what you should see in grub)
[06:49] <EriC^^> Drecondius: can you pastebin your '/boot/grub/grub.cfg' ?
[06:54] <Drecondius> https://pastebin.com/TjKsvFZq
[06:56] <EriC^^> it looks pretty normal, what does 'sudo blkid /dev/sda' give?
[06:56] <Drecondius> dev/sda: PTUUID="a2c292e7" PTTYPE="dos"
[06:56] <EriC^^> sorry "sudo blkid /dev/sda*"
[06:57] <Drecondius> that is blkid
[06:57] <Drecondius> oh, sda*
[06:57] <Drecondius> ok
[06:58] <Drecondius> uhoh
[06:58] <Drecondius> "/dev/sda: PTUUID="a2c292e7" PTTYPE="dos"
[06:59] <Drecondius> dag nab it
[06:59] <Drecondius> https://hastebin.com/somiresefu.bash
[06:59] <Drecondius> wouldn't let me paste the whole thing in here
[07:00] <Drecondius> even though it's only 3 lines
[07:00] <Drecondius> I'm beginning to suspect a bug in grub
[07:01] <EriC^^> is ubuntu in mbr mode? try "ls /sys/firmware/efi"
[07:01] <EriC^^> yeah seems odd, i wonder if it's adding the right lines in the menu, looking for an example windows mbr grub entry currently
[07:04] <Drecondius> Yeah, I just posted in grub to see if anyone can help with it or confirm, if so I will see if I can post a bug report the best I can. I've been "dabbling" with ubuntu  since my commercially pressed 8.10 disc lol
[07:04] <Drecondius> It's come a LONG way since then.
[07:06] <EriC^^> Drecondius: did you change the ahci/raid mode before installing ubuntu?
[07:07] <Drecondius> no
[07:07] <Drecondius> just boot order
[07:07] <Drecondius> could it be my drive is corrupted?
[07:07] <EriC^^> Drecondius: an easy check is to manually boot it from the bios
[07:08] <EriC^^> put its order before ubuntu's disk or use a run-time boot menu if available
[07:09] <EriC^^> it might just need a windows bootloader installation, you could also try to mount /dev/sda2 and see how that responds
[07:09] <Drecondius> i can boot it from bios, either by setting windows as primary boot or via instant boot selection, or do you mean set windows to boot first then re-install or update grub?
[07:10] <EriC^^> oh ok, no i just meant to see if it boots on its own
[07:10] <Drecondius> Yeah, it boots on it's own, i have already fried both mbr's just trying to fix this myself
[07:10] <Drecondius> and fixed them, i'm not in a live env this time :D
[07:11] <EriC^^> Drecondius: is ubuntu also in mbr mode? try "ls /sys/firmware/efi" and see if it says no such dir
[07:11] <EriC^^> :D
[07:11] <Drecondius> Yeah, Dell Precision T7500, i think it's a hybrid system, but both are mbr because the machine itself doesn't support efi
[07:12] <EriC^^> Drecondius: yeah but what is ubuntu using (and grub)
[07:12] <Drecondius> ubuntu is mbr
[07:13] <Drecondius> as is windows
[07:13] <Drecondius> Windows is there in the grub selection
[07:14] <Drecondius> Hmm, Wait a second
[07:14] <Drecondius> I'll be right back, I may have to fully enable the onboard raid controller
[07:15] <ricardodevries> Hello, I'm trying to install kvm on a headless 20.04 LTS. Using `sudo apt install qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon bridge-utils virtinst` It wants to install X and a bunch of related packages. I really try to avoid that. Any suggestions?
[07:15] <ricardodevries> * server lts I meant to include
[07:24] <ricardodevries> I solved it by using `--no-install-recommends`, thanks people :)
[07:28] <unimatrix9> hello all
[07:28] <luna_> hi
[07:28] <unimatrix9> does anyone know if there is a new irc channel for ubuntu nl ?
[07:28] <unimatrix9> i was there , but it looks empty
[07:29] <luna_> i am not dutch so no idea
[07:29] <unimatrix9> Lol
[07:30] <ducasse> should be people in #ubuntu-nl
[07:30] <unimatrix9> ah thanks
[07:31] <ducasse> other than that, ask !alis
[07:31] <unimatrix9> its working now, i guess i was not logged in correctly
[07:43] <awsdf654654652> Hello. I'm on ubuntu 20.04. I have an external drive formatted as exFAT. I found that if I copy a file on the exFAT drive to another disk formatted as ext4, then unmount and remount the exFAT disk, the modified date of the file is incremented by 30 days. Can anyone test this?
[07:48] <albech> Anyone know if argon2 is compiled into dovecot and postfix by default in 20.04?
[08:05] <viktor_> Hi everyone. I can't log into to SSH from outside my LAN. Connection gets refused. DDNS is set up, port forwarded, firewall disabled for now. I can login from inside the LAN. I don't know where to look further for the problem. Any ideas?
[08:15] <younder> I am using X-chat. When I log in it logs into ubuntu-unregged first. Than once the nick and passwd are registered I can log into Ubuntu. I have solved this before, but it was a long time ago and I have forgotten how. Any suggestions?
[08:17] <viktor_> younder: you want to log in automatically?
[08:17] <younder> viktor_, yes
[08:20] <viktor_> younder: does this help? http://xchat.org/faq/#q23 Of course you'll have to input your usern & passw somewhere in preferences or something.
[08:23] <younder> viktor_, Not really. You register the name and nick in a dialog. Then you select the channels to connect to. The problem is that it doesn't wait until the nick is identified before it tries to connect.
[08:25] <viktor_> younder: and ubuntu-unregged stays open after getting logged in to ubuntu?
[08:25] <younder> viktor_, yes
[08:30] <viktor_> younder: haven't used x-chat for years... but i could recommend irssi
[08:31] <younder> viktor_, well maybe I'll try that
[08:33] <etronik> .
[09:10] <poutine> last xchat release was over 10 years ago
[09:14] <Sakara> Does the graphical disk tool in Ubuntu have a mechanism to backup the parition schema and apply it to another drive?
[09:23] <Sakara> managed to use sgdisk(8) to clone the partitions. thanks.
[09:33] <amcsi> I have this weird issue that occasionally (like every 2 hours) some networking issue would happen to me that approximately 1/3 of the IPs would become unreachable until I unplug and plug back my ethernet cable.
[09:33] <amcsi> I would notice this when browsing a website and noticing that it says "This site can't be reached" on a site, that some sites load, but a couple don't. It seems to be completely random, which.
[09:33] <amcsi> This can even cause me to get cut off from Zoom calls
[09:33] <amcsi> I've already confirmed that this is not a DNS issue, because the IP can't be pinged either, and I already tried setting my DNS to 1.1.1.1 and it didn't fix it
[09:33] <amcsi> what could cause this, and how best to go about trying to fix this?
[09:45] <qpt> amcsi: i actually have the exact same problem, except it occurs across several devices (Windows and Mac as well)
[09:45] <qpt> amcsi: are you in Australia by chance?
[09:45] <amcsi> qpt, no, I'm in Hungary
[09:45] <qpt> I think my problems go to our national broadband
[09:45] <amcsi> this does not happen to me across devices; only my laptop with Ubuntu on it
[09:45] <qpt> ah i see
[09:45] <amcsi> I haven't confirmed yet if this happens on wifi
[09:46] <qpt> i don't have any advice, but good luck. drop outs are frustrating
[09:46] <amcsi> but it does happen with ethernet
[09:46] <amcsi> :(
[11:10] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:11] <luna_> hey
[11:20] <EmmaT> i have ubuntu server 18.04
[11:20] <EmmaT> and need to install an older version of chromium-browser
[11:20] <EmmaT> a version that existed on 16.04
[11:20] <EmmaT> apt-get install -qy chromium-browser=49.0.2623.108-0ubuntu1.1233
[11:20] <EmmaT> but this is not present
[11:20] <EmmaT> in 18 repository
[11:21] <EmmaT> is there a way to install it none theless so i dont have to use the 16 ?
[11:21] <EmmaT> the origianl ubuntu is minimal
[11:21] <Deano59> EmmaT: you could add 16's repo then install it, don't advise it though.
[11:21] <Deano59> why do you need an older chromium?
[11:22] <EmmaT> Deano59 old software that require it for crawling websites
[11:22] <EmmaT> Deano59 how do i add this repository?
[11:23] <Deano59> edit /etc/apt/sources.list, copy and paste whatever repo is in there, go to the bottom, paste but add 16 (not 100% sure what 16 is but 18 is bionic) you get the idea.:)
[11:23] <Deano59> not recommended though.. you could break things.
[11:25] <Deano59> make sure to run "apt update -y" though.
[11:25] <Deano59> under sudo or root, your choice.
[11:26] <EmmaT> Deano59 here is teh one for 16 https://hastebin.com/jifizafoda.shell
[11:26] <Deano59> tomreyn: what's the command? for what EmmaT is doing? ;P
[11:26] <EmmaT> how many of these do I need to add to the 18 one?
[11:26] <Deano59> EmmaT: add this deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial multiverse then sudo apt update -y
[11:32] <EmmaT> I will try
[11:36] <raddy> Hello
[11:36] <Deano59> !ask | raddy
[11:36] <EmmaT> I added the entire contents of that file, and the asked version was not present
[11:36] <EmmaT> still
[11:36] <raddy> I feel that ubuntu 20.04 to be slower and clumsy than 19.04
[11:37] <Deano59> no idea then EmmaT sorry
[11:37] <raddy> I have enabled persistence and was not happy with that
[11:37] <raddy> 19.04 is lot better
[11:37] <Deano59> raddy: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:37] <raddy> Ohhh okk.
[11:37] <raddy> But this is not off-topic :D
[11:38] <Deano59> this channel is for support raddy
[11:38] <raddy> okk
[12:05] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[12:06] <raddy> I have recently started using ubuntu after a long while
[12:06] <raddy> I have few questions
[12:06] <raddy> If i remove a package after enabling persistence, would it persists?
[12:07] <raddy> What for most the gnome software are missing in ubuntu software?
[13:24] <EmmaT> how do you add a repository without add-apt-repository? i tried adding them by appending to etc/apt/sources.... but did not work
[13:25] <geirha> you add a file ending with .list in /etc/apt/souces.list.d/
[13:26] <schangg> Hi
[13:27] <schangg> I have a raid9 set up with mdadm for the file system of my OS. And a raid 5 set up for data storage
[13:27] <schangg> for unknown reasons the raid5 does not show up anymore (the disks are still there and show up with fdisk -l)
[13:30] <leftyfb> EmmaT: adding to sources.list will work if the repo is valid. You do need to run "apt update" to be able to pull packages from that repo
[13:32] <schangg> I wanted to troubleshot this raid issue with mdadm but all those commande must point to the /dev/md device which no longer exists
[13:32] <schangg> so I am not sure what I could try to set the raid the way it was
[13:37] <leftyfb> schangg: did you change/update a kernel that is missing the related modules package?
[13:39] <schangg> leftyfb I do upgrade my system once in a while
[13:40] <schangg> leftyfb but nothing exceptional (just like apt-get upgrade/dis-upgrade)
[13:43] <leftyfb> schangg: kernel upgrades are part of normal upgrades
[13:45] <raddy> Hello
[13:46] <raddy> I have installed ubuntu 19.10 recently and I am aware that is not the current version.
[13:46] <raddy> But how to get normal Debian software in ubuntu ?
[13:46] <raddy> The snap packages are very small
[13:47] <raddy> I could not install even synaptics package manager
[13:50] <oerheks> raddy, what happens if you try? sudo apt update && sudo apt install synaptic
[13:51] <leftyfb> raddy: why do you need synamptic?? Also, 19.10 is going to be EOL next month. You might want to think about upgrading ASAP
[13:51] <leftyfb> oerheks: synaptic is part of the universe repo
[13:52] <oerheks> ah, correct, enable universe repo: sudo add-apt-repository universe
[13:53] <giaco> do you know any good open source password share software/service I can use at work with non IT professionals? It should work everywhere (iOS/Android/Windows/Linux/Mac)
[13:54] <giaco> I mean, I am in the situation where I'm trying to educate some colleagues to basic IT security, and to do that I need to introduce some softwares and services. Password generator/storage/share is the first one
[13:56] <oerheks> there are some password managers, any good.. dunno. https://www.wired.com/story/best-password-managers/
[14:41] <coconut> With secureboot enabled, which one is easier to configure/use booting ubuntu iso's, virt-manager or virtualbox?
[14:45] <tomreyn> coconut: i generally find virtualbox to be more comfortable if you like a GUI frontend. either work for uefi booting, and i think they both use ovmf.
[14:57] <Drecondius> I'm back, It continued to hang on me last night because, well, I was mildly intoxicated. I forgot to remove the usb boot from the bios boot order. otherwise it hangs after enabling the sas controller
[14:58] <Drecondius> but, enabling the controller still didn't allow windows to boot
[15:04] <coconut> ok thanks tom!
[15:28] <giaco> oerheks: thanks
[15:41] <coconut> Can anyone push me in the right direction for installing all ubuntu wallapapers of older ubuntu version? (sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-wallpapers-* ##does not work.
[15:41] <oerheks> !find wallpapers
[15:42] <oerheks> synaptic says mate-background
[15:43] <coconut> yeah thnx oerheks, i want to just install them all in one command without having to type them all.
[15:43] <oerheks> oh, and indeed ubuntu-mate-wallpapers without *

[15:44] <luca_D> Hello everybody. I have a little problem with Jack in Ubuntu: Ubuntu 20.04 with Kernel 5.3.0-18. Basically, when I connect my external soundcard MOTU Ultralite AVB and try to use it, PulseAudio works just fine but QJackCtl gives this problem: https://imgur.com/a/7LbjzHu
[15:45] <coconut> ubuntu-mate-wallpapers just installs the latest version(20.04) only....
[15:45] <oerheks> Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is based on the long-term supported Linux release series 5.4 .. how did you get 5.3?
[15:45] <oerheks> ubuntu-mate-wallpapers-artfull -bionic -cosmic -disco ..... -common -complete and more
[15:45] <oerheks> an * does not grab them all
[15:46] <luca_D> Because 5.3.0-18 is the only kernel that I tried so far that can pilot my internal sound card :(
[15:47] <luca_D> I don't remember how to retrieve the model of my actual internal soundcard, but it is a Realtek
[15:47] <oerheks> luca_D, and how long ago was that? i cannot help fixing bugs that does not exist
[15:48] <coconut> * does not work no.... that's why i am searching for a working apt command (i need to improve this for myself)
[15:48] <oerheks> coconut, maybe with a dash? ubuntu-mate-wallpapers-*
[15:49] <luca_D> @oerheks I have a new computer Lenovo Yoga C640. I had problems for months with my internal sound card, and had to revert back to 5.3.0-18 (I didn't know about this fantastic chat at that time)
[15:52] <oerheks> luca_D, from the manjaro friends, see this fix in the last answer adding set-card-profile 0 HiFi to /etc/pulse/default.pa    >>  https://forum.manjaro.org/t/lenovo-yoga-c640-sound/126933/2
[15:52] <coconut> oh, that's weird... "sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-wallpapers-*" does not work while with "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-wallpapers-*" does work.
[15:52] <oerheks> ubuntu-mate-wallpapers* matches one package, not seeing the '-'
[15:53] <luca_D> @oerheks, ok! I reboot with the latest Ubuntu 20.04 native kernel and try that. Thanks for now!
[15:53] <oerheks> have fun!
[16:05] <Luca_D> Hi again. I am now in Ubuntu 5.4.0-33-generic. I followed the directions in the mentioned thread: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/lenovo-yoga-c640-sound/126933/2
[16:06] <Luca_D> However, although the sounds work, the internal sound card doesn't work with Jack. (I didn't reboot anyway). I will post now the error from QJackCtl
[16:06] <oerheks> wb Luca_D .. and?
[16:06] <oerheks> oke, there is progress

[16:07] <oerheks> !paste
[16:07] <Luca_D> Ouch, this is not the easiest way to paste
[16:07] <Luca_D> Does this work? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Btb4Sdsy9b/
[16:13] <oerheks> Luca_D, so that fix does not work on the internal.. i guess only plugincards are working then?
[16:13] <oerheks> why would you need the internal working too?
[16:14] <Luca_D> oerheks , just because I often use Jack-dependent applications without an external audio card
[16:15] <Luca_D> Anyway I just go and try if my external sound card actually works now :D
[16:18] <ice99> I'm looking for free asset management tool (whether online or offline), something like AssetTiger, any suggestions?
[16:20] <oerheks> Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo ..
[16:20] <oerheks> https://alternativeto.net/software/assettiger/
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> apt, snap,..
[16:20] <Luca_D> oerheks, with the external sound card and Kernel 5.4.0-33, I just get the same error in Jack :D  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BSc63gzhF8/
[16:21] <oerheks> Luca_D, so the plugincard disables the onboard,.. reverse that manjaro fix?
[16:22] <oerheks> not sure you *can*  use the onboard together ..
[16:24] <Luca_D> oerheks, indeed now the external soundcard works! You're good! Thanks. I believe that at this point I will just install two different Ubuntus, one for travelling, and one for professional audio
[16:25] <Luca_D> Well, I just need to enter with the right kernel depending on needs
[16:45] <lifeboy> I'm now restoring a full duplicity backup of my notebook after I reformatted the disk and installed the exact same version I had before. At first I tried to restore to the drive a booted from.  Got many errors that the files can't be written.  So now I booted from a flashdrive and mount the hard disk, but the mount always is read-only.  How can I overcome that?
[16:51] <lifeboy> I use "remount,rw,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,noauto" in gnome-disk-utility, but it gives me an error
[16:53] <EmmaT> hi there. I need some expert help please. there is a package, that I am trying to install a particular version of ... on ubuntu 18 server. .. that is located in repo 16 ... i added the repo and all... installed several versions of the stuff that are in 16 ... however ....
[16:53] <EmmaT> only one package is giving me a problem.
[16:54] <EmmaT> I found a way around it ... and now everything works. but i do not like the solution
[16:54] <oerheks> EmmaT, don't mix versions, if you need an ancient package, build it yourself?
[16:54] <EmmaT> oerheks i am not mixing
[16:54] <EmmaT> just trying to install a verson of package
[16:54] <EmmaT> one moment
[16:54] <oerheks> mixing 16.x and 18.x, sure you do
[16:55] <oerheks> care to share what package?
[16:55] <EmmaT> just one moment ... trying to verify
[16:56] <EmmaT>  apt-get install -qy --allow-downgrades libgconf2-4=3.2.6-3ubuntu6
[16:56] <EmmaT> oerheks https://i.imgur.com/8WSLUBJ.png
[16:56] <EmmaT> i get this error
[16:56] <EmmaT> i can not install it ... however ...
[16:56] <EmmaT> if i remove the bionic (ubuntu 18) repositories all together
[16:56] <EmmaT> from sources.list
[16:57] <EmmaT> then this complaint goes away and it installs
[16:57] <EmmaT> i just dont understand why it would behave differently .. so can I force it to unsinstall regardless of sources.list ?
[16:57] <EmmaT> the message it is complaining also doesnt make sense
[16:58] <EmmaT> libgconf2-4 : Depends: libgconf-2-4 (= 3.2.6-3ubuntu6) but 3.2.6-4ubuntu1 is to be installed ...
[16:58] <anonymip> any ideas what to do about "CIFS VFS: Close unmatched open" when browsing a mounted cifs share in Midnight Commander?
[16:58] <EmmaT> it is dependendant on itself ?
[16:58] <anonymip> I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
[16:58] <oerheks> interesting, you point to an obsolete packages, bionic gives 3.2.6-4ubuntu1
[16:58] <EmmaT> the version of the older one .. is now requiring the new one ?
[16:58] <oerheks> https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libgconf-2-4
[16:58] <EmmaT> oerheks i dont give a shit
[16:58] <oerheks> why do you need the bionic version? this is silly
[16:58] <EmmaT> obsolote ...
[16:58] <oerheks> Emcy, oke i leave you, good luck!
[16:58] <EmmaT> oerheks old software in rumtime requires it
[16:58] <jwash> anyone here use gscan2pdf? all my docs have the backside page ghosted into scans. I'm wondering how to remove it, and to make the whitespace white, and just have the text and color show.
[16:59] <EmmaT> i am not going to change the underlying software
[16:59] <EmmaT> just trying to get it to run
[16:59] <EmmaT> why is it obsolete ?
[16:59] <anonymip> when I'm accessing the share via the console I don't get the error
[16:59] <EmmaT> i mean i can install old packages just fine .. this is hte only one that i cant
[16:59] <EmmaT> if i remove bionic then i can ... wierd .. i should be able to force install obsolete anyway
[17:00] <EmmaT> without modifiying sources.list .. installing and restoring it
[17:00] <EmmaT> oerheks i dont need the bionic one .. i need the xenial one
[17:01] <EmmaT> -f did not work
[17:01] <EmmaT> --fix-broken ? ... is there an --ignore-broken ?
[17:01] <mesaboogie> lol
[17:02] <oerheks> jwash, maybe this page is your fix; see answer gwern Branwen > gscan2pdf 'crop' with 'all'.  https://sourceforge.net/p/gscan2pdf/mailman/message/24693948/
[17:02] <EmmaT> mesaboogie it installs just fine when i remove bionic .. and it runs fine ...
[17:02] <EmmaT> it must be the security repo in 18 preventing it ... i dont get how i can be prevented by adding another repo
[17:03] <EmmaT> let us try --ignore-missing,
[17:03] <EmmaT> nope
[17:04] <ioria> EmmaT, what xenial repository have you added ?  universe or main ?
[17:04] <EmmaT> all of the ones that existed in 16 ... one moment
[17:04] <xtuh> hi, can somebody suggest gui program, similar to winscp (left panel local, right remote, can gui edit by pressing f4)
[17:05] <EmmaT> ioria https://hastebin.com/wevagolequ.rb
[17:05] <EmmaT> note that the problem is not that it does not find it... it does... however the repo in 18 is preventing the install
[17:05] <EmmaT> and i cant override it
[17:05] <EmmaT> unless i remove 18 repos
[17:05] <ioria> EmmaT,  you need to comment the universe bionic repo
[17:06] <EmmaT> ioria what is that ? is that the main bionic ?
[17:06] <EmmaT> why would it prevent the installation... and why do i have to comment it out .. this package is not even in there
[17:06] <ioria> EmmaT,  on xenial that pkfg is in main, on bionic is in universe
[17:06] <EmmaT> https://hastebin.com/rivoxedoho.rb
[17:07] <EmmaT> ioria i am installing 3.2.6-3ubuntu6
[17:07] <EmmaT> the one in xenial
[17:07] <EmmaT>  apt-get install  -m --ignore-missing --allow-downgrades libgconf2-4=3.2.6-3ubuntu6
[17:07] <EmmaT> have i mistyped something?
[17:07] <ioria> !info libgconf-2-4 xenial
[17:08] <ioria> EmmaT,  3.2.6-3ubuntu6 is in xenial main
[17:08] <EmmaT> ioria i am installing other packages from xenial .. and no complain
[17:08] <EmmaT> ioria yes... but i can not install it
[17:08] <EmmaT> unless I remove bionic repos
[17:08] <ioria> EmmaT,  probably becasue you have ionic repos active
[17:08] <ioria> EmmaT, yes, that's why
[17:08] <EmmaT> still targeting a specific version .. that is not in bionic
[17:09] <EmmaT> lol
[17:09] <EmmaT> the message is also wierd
[17:09] <EmmaT> libgconf2-4 : Depends: libgconf-2-4 (= 3.2.6-3ubuntu6) but 3.2.6-4ubuntu1 is to be installed
[17:09] <oerheks> lolz
[17:09] <EmmaT> i am trying to isntall ubuntu1
[17:09] <ioria> 3.2.6-4ubuntu1 is bionic
[17:09] <EmmaT> sorry
[17:10] <EmmaT> but trying to instal xenial 3.2.6-3ubuntu6
[17:10] <ioria> ok
[17:10] <EmmaT> apt-get install   libgconf2-4=3.2.6-3ubuntu6
[17:10] <EmmaT> that is the command
[17:10] <EmmaT> wierd bug
[17:10] <EmmaT> https://hastebin.com/ocaxeyijeh.coffeescript
[17:11] <ioria> EmmaT, you cannot force version from another release
[17:11] <ioria> EmmaT, comment the bionic repos and simply install  libgconf2-4
[17:13] <EmmaT> ioria yes, that works .... and software runs ... however, confused what that means .. can not force ... i am trying install a specific verison (6) ... that is in xenial ... is it the problem then that it has dependencies that it resolves to bionic ... and then it tries to install stuff from there ... despite it also being in xenial ... maybe order in sources.list matters ?
[17:13] <EmmaT> i have no issues like i said with any other package
[17:13] <EmmaT> just this
[17:14] <EmmaT> obviously an issue and potentially unsafe
[17:14] <EmmaT> the one in bionic is then marked with wrong dependencies ..
[17:14] <EmmaT> which then point to 1
[17:16] <EmmaT> apt-get install -t libgconf2-4 xenial ............. Reading package lists... Done .................... E: The value 'libgconf2-4' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
[17:17] <EmmaT> relevant i think: https://askubuntu.com/a/814936
[17:17] <EmmaT> but not able to make sense
[17:17] <kinghat> maybe im confused, but shouldnt this cron be setting rtcwake at 00:00:00? 0 0 * * * rtcwake -m no -l -t $(date +%s -d "today 03:55") >/dev/null 2>&1
[17:18] <EmmaT> kinghat https://crontab.guru/every-night-at-midnight
[17:19] <kinghat> maybe its not working because my system is usually suspended at midnight?
[17:20] <EmmaT> kinghat that'll do it
[17:20] <EmmaT> ioria this post is talking about priority: https://askubuntu.com/a/814936
[17:21] <EmmaT> but not able to figure out what to do, in a neat way
[17:21] <kinghat> wonder if there is a better way to get the PC to wake up at 3:55 everyday when you dont know when the system will be awake?
[17:22] <EmmaT> kinghat yes, i have a job .. at 4 am .. backup .. and since a few months back . ive resorted to alway leave computer on
[17:23] <EmmaT> not great ... there isnt really a way to wake from sleep unless you move mouse or keyboard ... mac can react on bluetooth .. maybe a device can be purchased that will move the mouse at 4 am
[17:23] <EmmaT> but the computer itself is asleep
[17:23] <kinghat> i mean rtcwake works fine for waking up i just want it to happen everyday.
[17:24] <EmmaT> https://www.linode.com/community/questions/18519/getting-an-error-when-attempting-to-apt-get-install
[17:24] <EmmaT> where can i add this value ?
[17:24] <EmmaT> APT::Default-Release "stretch";
[17:24] <kinghat> wonder if instead of today and tomorrow you can use "everyday"?
[17:37] <annihilator> what is a good way to backup an Ubuntu server installation. no DE installed.
[17:40] <leftyfb> annihilator: rsync the data and any important configs you'll need to copy/reconfig on a new install
[17:40] <leftyfb> annihilator: but that is my version of $(best)
[17:43] <abtm_> I have a plan for a script (just need to implement it) to archive files to be replaced in rsync destination BEFORE rsync runs so that the files are preserved.
[17:43] <abtm_> its on my to do list but I have bigger things to address first :)
[17:51] <annihilator> i was hoping for a whole pc backup so i didnt have to reinstall everything incase of failure. a bit lazy lol
[17:52] <oerheks> dd the partitions?
[17:54] <annihilator> dd?
[17:56] <oerheks> annihilator, tons of guides online, https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/drive-and-partition-backups-with-dd/
[17:56] <AlexPortable> How do I remove this error when installing/removing/doing anything with snap packages: `main.go:173: description of sign's "k" is lowercase: "naam van de te gebruiken sleutel, gebruik anders de standaardsleutel"`
[17:58] <sarnold> AlexPortable: try running "ubuntu-bug snapd" and see if that lets you file a bug report
[17:58] <AlexPortable> no internet on the machine
[17:59] <AlexPortable> it gets fixed when i change my user/system language to englissh
[18:00] <oerheks> AlexPortable, found that issue too .. https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/weird-error-message-whenever-i-run-the-snap-command/6418
[18:00] <oerheks> the code as written seems to require that translated strings used for the description of command-line options must begin with an upper-case character.

[18:03] <vimart> Hi
[18:08] <ioria> EmmaT, libgconf2-4  != libgconf-2-4    (note the '-')  and you probably have already the bionic version installed (3.2.6-4ubuntu1); so it fails and you might need to remove it
[18:12] <EmmaT> ioria it is true ... but what does that mean .. they are the same it seems howver .. ?
[18:13] <ioria> they are not the same
[18:13] <EmmaT> https://hastebin.com/wajadamofa.rb
[18:14] <EmmaT> but hte same issue is for both
[18:14] <EmmaT> but the other one complains slighgly different
[18:14] <EmmaT> however, i think i solved it
[18:14] <EmmaT> one moment
[18:14] <ioria> EmmaT, do you have libgconf-2-4  installed ?
[18:14] <EmmaT> no, neither i think
[18:14] <ioria> EmmaT, dpkg -l | grep libgconf
[18:15] <EmmaT> https://hastebin.com/caqomogeki.sql
[18:15] <EmmaT> ioria nothing
[18:16] <EmmaT> ioria this worked
[18:16] <EmmaT> apt-get install -t xenial libgconf2-4=3.2.6-3ubuntu6
[18:16] <EmmaT> i am not sure what I did different before .. but i did try the -t no ? i think i put xenial at the end though before
[18:23] <EmmaT> ioria -t xenial is the way ... never impossible
[18:23] <EmmaT> it took a while though
[18:23] <ioria> ok
[18:24] <EmmaT> thanks for helping out, it gave me good energy :)
[18:25] <EmmaT> ioria google search has seriously become worse and worse for searching code related issues for every year
[18:25] <EmmaT> i've been saying it for like 4 years
[18:25] <EmmaT> i think they do it on purpose
[18:25] <EmmaT> to stiffle compition
[18:26] <EmmaT> seriously have to google the hell out of everything every single time ... like installing a package from a specific repository should not be that difficult to find information on
[18:26] <ioria> i can't tell, sy
[18:26] <EmmaT> stackoverflow answers presented are rarely any good
[18:26] <EmmaT> nor relevant .. and surely the question has been posted many times before
[18:27] <EmmaT> bastards ... and they removed the search for discussions
[18:38] <EmmaT> great, now everything works in 18 as well
[18:57] <zmagii> Hi everyone, I reinstalled Ubuntu over macOS. Is there a good way to recover access to the Windows partition that I had on Bootcamp.
[18:58] <zmagii> I can also reinstall Windows if that is better. The info on the Windows partition is not important.
[18:59] <zmagii> If I try to boot into the Windows partition with the Macintosh startup key (I think shift) I can boot into Windows as an option, but it then proceeds to say "no OS installed".
[18:59] <Bashing-om> zmagii: Does the Windows partition still exist ' sudo parted -l ' in a pastebin to show the channel what we are working with.
[19:03] <zmagii> Bashing-om: https://pastebin.com/raw/FX1eAmj5
[19:03] <zmagii> You'll see that the last data is just to say that I encrypted the Ubuntu partition
[19:07] <Bashing-om> zmagii: looking ^^
[19:09] <Bashing-om> zmagii: Looks recoverable - " EFI System Partition " but will take one who knows what to expect in that directory. I am not Windfows/UEFI knowledgeable :(
[19:14] <zmagii> Bashing-om: So is that the boot loader or something for Windows?
[19:15] <Bashing-om> zmagii: It contains ( or should)  the code to boot the selected OS.
[19:15] <zmagii> Cool, thanks, then I can Google around that.
[19:15] <Bashing-om> !uefi | zmagii
[19:25] <abtm_> !squid | abtm_
[19:26] <abtm_> interesting
[19:27] <Bashing-om> !ubottu | abtm_
[19:28] <abtm_> I was trying to determine if it was generally avail or avail only to some
[19:28] <abtm_> :)
[19:28] <abtm_> hence the check
[19:28] <abtm_> and the answer is, avail to all via /msg and avail to some in #
[19:29] <leftyfb> zmagii: I'm not that familiar with it, but maybe it's possible the Windows install on bootcamp will only work using bootcamp. Isn't there some sort of hypervisor going on therE?
[19:33] <zmagii> Bashing-om: Just one more question, does this mean UEFI mode is on?
[19:35] <zmagii> leftyfb: I am not sure if there is, but Bootcamp does have funny restrictions in general like for example it had to be Windows 7 at some point.
[19:38] <Bashing-om> zmagii: Literally running "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS" will tell you if you're booted via UEFI.
[19:38] <zmagii> Sorry, just as you posted I read that section.
[19:41] <Bashing-om> zmagii: I am not up on bootcamp - Is that a Mac bootloader ? as Mac no longer exist I can accept that bootcamp will have to be replaced by grub ( GRand Unified Bootloader ).
[19:42] <zmagii> Bootcamp is the "official" way to dual boot Windows if you have a Macintosh running macOS.
[19:43] <zmagii> You launch it as an app from within macOS and install Windows by following the GUI, after which you have a dual boot with Windows. I think it restarts a few times as you do it. Then on startup you can hold alt I think to choose the disk, otherwise it boots into macOS.
[19:45] <mw_> is there a library somewhere with hashes for all binaries ever distributed by ubuntu, including possible inter-release updates? i ran into a suspicious file on my system, checked all the 18.04.* releases and couldn't find a match, even by version number. does that automatically mean it's something malicious? or is it possible that there has been an update that have never made its way to the stable distro?
[19:48] <mw_> clamav says its ok but otoh for some reason it's the same size as the one i just got it replaced with, yet totally different contents
[19:49] <sarnold> mw_: very curious
[19:49] <sarnold> mw_: it's funny you mention that, I've vaguely wondered about setting up such a system, but had no idea if the end results would actually be useful for anyone ..
[19:50] <Bashing-om> !info debsums
[19:52] <sarnold> mw_: you can find previous packages on old-releases.ubuntu.com eg s of stilts wearing a hat. ponies
[19:52] <sarnold> STUPID FIREFOX
[19:52] <sarnold> mw_: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bash/
[19:53] <mw_> Bashing-om, thx, this will be useful
[19:55] <mw_> sarnold, i didn't mention it was bash
[19:55] <sarnold> mw_: I know
[19:55] <sarnold> mw_: I just picked bash because I always pick bash when I need an example package
[19:55] <mw_> spooky
[19:56] <mw_> hm, there's no 4.4.20 at all, and that was on my system..
[19:57] <mw_> looks like i have something for the clamav guys
[20:01] <mw_> phew, debsums reports only node/python related stuff differs, which is normal, thats sort of a relief
[20:04] <tomreyn> note what debsums does, though
[20:04] <EriC^^> mw_: did you figure out that bash weirdness in the end?
[20:04] <tomreyn> it checked whether the files belonging to packages are original. it does not check whether some additional files you may have should be there or not,
[20:07] <tomreyn> mw_: uploading the file to virustotal (or just searching for its checksum so you don't leak potentially sensible info by uploading it) is most likely a better test than clamav.
[20:09] <mw_> EriC^^, its so embarassing, but.. yep, the binary was surely not from ubuntu. still have no idea how it got there tho. i had one of the accounts breached some time ago, a miner was installed, it didn't take too long to notice and disarm, and i was confident that was it. looks like something much worse happened, but i'm still unsure exactly what.
[20:11] <EriC^^> mw_: oh yikes, sounds like reinstall/latest secure backup time, eek
[20:12] <mw_> tomreyn, virustotal wont recognize it
[20:13] <mw_> there's a slight chance that it's totally unrelated, and it was actually me trying to hack something together, that i totally forgot since
[20:14] <EriC^^> what about the miner?
[20:15] <EriC^^> it's a tough spot i guess
[20:16] <mw_> i correct myself, virustotal _does_ recognize it as bash, last uploaded 3 days ago, just no threats identified
[20:16] <Stavros> Hello
[20:16] <EriC^^> hello Stavros
[20:16] <Stavros> Has anyone tried an Ubuntu installation with ZFS on root? Is it stable/does it work well?
[20:17] <EriC^^> mw_: any idea where the bash came from? maybe md5sum it and check with google if anything hits?
[20:27] <mw_> md5 / sha1 / sha256 - 557c0271e30cf474e0f46f93721fd1ba / 59fea2c26edbbab48daaf73e7cd16ebc47475e83 / da85596376bf384c14525c50ca010e9ab96952cb811b4abe188c9ef1b75bff9a
[20:28] <mw_> there are a few hits, but not really helpful
[20:28] <mw_> https://hybrid-analysis.com/search?query=da85596376bf384c14525c50ca010e9ab96952cb811b4abe188c9ef1b75bff9a says marked as clean, that's something..
[20:29] <quadrathoch2> Hey, is there a page or something, where I can lookup the syntax for setting a keyboard shortcut with gsettings?
[20:31] <bytesafari> quadrathoch2: Are you trying to set up a custom shortcut?
[20:32] <quadrathoch2> bytesafari, I want to setup a keybinding for always on top
[20:32] <quadrathoch2> (to something like F12)
[20:33] <quadrathoch2> or Alt+W but somehow he tells me that the file Alt is not available :/
[20:34] <bytesafari> quadrathoch2: Check out this resource, may be a good place to start
[20:34] <bytesafari> https://www.maketecheasier.com/keyboard-shortcut-for-always-on-top-ubuntu/
[20:34] <Atlenohen> Hello
[20:35] <Atlenohen> are there any reported issues upgrading 19.10 to 20.04 LTS ?
[20:35] <quadrathoch2> bytesafari, I assume, that the program is for X, I use wayland :/ as the drivers are better with wayland
[20:36] <oerheks> Atlenohen, maybe there are? did you see the releasenotes? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes
[20:37] <quadrathoch2> Atlenohen, also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[20:37] <Atlenohen> oerheks: I'm talking about issues in the upgrading process
[20:37] <Atlenohen> Some people say Linux can crash and stop working
[20:37] <oerheks> it is a too wide question, why would a bug apply to you too?
[20:38] <oerheks> start with a fresh iso on usb to be sure, and have fun
[20:38] <quadrathoch2> Atlenohen, nobody can say if your config can cause bugs or not, because it's unlikely that you have the same hardware + software setup as other people
[20:38] <Atlenohen> Since I picked the worst time to install and setup my new linux, a few days before 20.04 was released, after being on Linux Mint for 5+ years
[20:39] <bytesafari> quadrathoch2: I'll tool around in wayland once I get a chance, but it looks like wmctrl may be a good place to start
[20:39] <quadrathoch2> well it's a program for X only. so that won't work :/
[20:39] <bytesafari> ah, my bad
[20:40] <quadrathoch2> and even the examples on the internet don't work with sth like ['<Alt>w'] so idk how else to type it in where gsettings is satisfied ^^
[20:43] <bytesafari> quadrathoch2, yeah I saw a couple of askubuntu posts for wayland, but they don't have answers
[20:44] <bytesafari> quadrathoch2, does alt+space bring up a menu, or is that just an X thing?
[20:45] <quadrathoch2> it brings up the menu on the top left (from the app not the app switcher)
[20:45] <quadrathoch2> this is what I don't get
[20:45] <quadrathoch2> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GH6tWhqCSK/
[20:48] <bytesafari> what file is that from?
[20:48] <quadrathoch2> terminal commands I entered
[20:48] <bytesafari> ah okay
[20:49] <quadrathoch2> sorry, forgot to copy the $ ;)
[20:56] <quadrathoch2> bytesafari, so also no idea? :/
[20:58] <tomreyn> mw_: the 256sum you posted matches ubuntu 18.04-amd64's /bin/bash
[20:58] <bytesafari> quadrathoch2, yeah, not really sure. Could be the syntax of your gsettings command, but I'm not sure
[20:58] <quadrathoch2> bytesafari, thanks :), off to more searching around :>
[21:05] <tomreyn> mw_: so you'd find it in here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/amd64/bash/download
[21:13] <freebench> hi,  I'm looking for a client utilizing xmpp working on android, windows and linux, with VoiP and Video features. Can anyone advice
[21:18] <blazed> freebench https://astrachat.com/ looked at that?
[21:19] <freebench> haven't tried yet
[21:32] <abtm_> blazed, looks like astrachat PC version is only avail for corp customers
[21:33] <blazed> ye i've actually just been reading on it, didi a quick google search from freebench's question. shame.
[21:35] <freebench> jitsi is good, but android version supports jitsi video conversation only
[21:35] <freebench> aTalk must be okay, but android only :)
[22:52] <jay42> Hi, running Ubuntu server 18.04 with lxd (btrfs backend), after a kernel event (INFO: task btrfs-transacti:1453 blocked for more than 120 seconds.) all containers are hung and not responding to commands. Did anyone have a similar issue, any suggestions?
[23:01] <sarnold> jay42: is there anything else in dmesg?
[23:02] <sarnold> jay42: it might be worthwhile trying to grab /proc/pid/stack files for all the hung processes, too
[23:03] <jay42> sarnold: Yes, more details for the btrfs event, then there is an lxd message: lvl=warn msg="Detected poll(POLLNVAL) event."
[23:04] <jay42> And then several services in systemd stopped, eventually causing systemd-logind service to hang, and disable logins.
[23:04] <jay42> In ps, I see there are lots of btrfs processes active: btrfs property set -ts /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/.... ro false
[23:05] <sarnold> processes stuck in D state tend to multiply
[23:06] <jay42> Indeed, they're all in D state.
[23:11] <Jordan_U> jay42: Has this happened more than once?
[23:14] <jay42> Jordan_U: No, this is the first time after almost 1 year of lxd+btrfs setup.
[23:15] <jay42> My theory is that something went wrong during the lxd snapshot of the container, blocking btrfs overall and hence the containers.
[23:16] <Jordan_U> jay42: I'm seeing other reports of the error "task btrfs-transacti" "blocked for more than" from googling, and they're all from 2016/17/18. I wonder if this is a bug that was fixed since 2018.
[23:18] <jay42> lxd is pretty new - 4.1
[23:20] <Jordan_U> jay42: My guess is that it's not an lxd specific problem, but rather a more general btrfs bug.
[23:21] <jay42> Pastebin of the kernel event when it all started: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MqkTTYGb96/
[23:22] <tripelb> Hello this is the fifth day of reporting my Ubuntu 20.04 keeps freezing. I sure hope somebody will take up the problem. I have something called Plex server running as root. (Yes I removed the Plex server.) Yesterday I posted a snip from my TOP command
[23:22] <jay42> btrfs-transacti being the first, and others following (systemd-journal, postgres, apache, lxd)
[23:23] <matsaman> tripelb: when it freezes can you switch to another TTY? Can you ssh in?
[23:24] <matsaman> tripelb: usually only will be so many things: out of RAM, primary storage (hard disk/etc.) failure, rare X bug, overheated hardware
[23:25] <blizzow> Is there any concise documentation/video that makes managing networking (particularly DNS) in ubuntu understandable?
[23:25] <tripelb> Matsaman  I wasn't out of time I checked that the other way My hdd just doesn't fail because I can keep rebooting. I don't know how to switch to another TTY or SSH in.  --. I'm not a sis up. I'm a woman at home with home internet one laptop several Android devices...
[23:26] <quadrathoch2> blizzow, anything particular you are wanting to have a look at?
[23:26] <tripelb> It releases and refreezes. Matsaman I think he's totally gone because Nick completion doesn't work on his name. This is the fifth day I'm asking about this. I have new information today It's related to chrome
[23:27] <matsaman> tripelb: okay, so maybe just don't use chrome for now? Try Firefox
[23:27] <matsaman> tripelb: or at least chromium instead
[23:27] <matsaman> any chrome on Linux is going to be a beastly binary blob
[23:27] <matsaman> if you use Chromium it will at least be packaged sensibly
[23:27] <tripelb> Matsaman Right I can use Firefox. But I really like to have chrome. But the same thing happens with chromium.
[23:28] <matsaman> tripelb: okay so you're using chromium and doing nothing special and it freezes?
[23:28] <tripelb> It releases then comes back to the freeze. I can tell cuz the mouse will move a couple inches when I swing the cursor around
[23:28] <matsaman> tripelb: how much RAM have you got?
[23:28] <tripelb> If nothing special means using IRC and chromium at the same time, maybe looking at a directory listing, then yes.
[23:29] <tripelb> This time I started and made sure it Did not restore any of the old links in case it was one of them. ---- I think it is this "Plex server" running two processes as root.
[23:29] <tripelb> I'm doing this on the phone let me switch to the computer where the pastebin link resides
[23:29] <blizzow> quadrathoch2, I want to run a good local resolver on port 53. I can't start it up because systemd-resolved is stuck there. systemctl stop systemd-resolved doesn't kill the resolver.
[23:30] <blizzow> So I use killall systemd-resolved. dnsmasq takes over!
[23:30] <blizzow> so I killall dnsmasq
[23:30] <oerheks> plex as root, crazy.
[23:30] <blizzow> Then I'm able to fire up a good resolver on 127.0.0.1.
[23:30] <blizzow> But noooo.
[23:30] <oerheks> old fix .. https://forums.plex.tv/t/proper-way-to-run-plex-as-another-user-with-systemd-ubuntu-server-16-04-lts/158853/2
[23:30] <tripelb> Oh that's right I have to reboot to do that
[23:31] <tripelb> Because it's on Firefox
[23:31] <blizzow> I go into netplan and try and change the resolver to 127.0.0.1 and f' you ubuntu tells me.
[23:31] <oerheks> but plex is not freeware
[23:31] <matsaman> proper-way-to-blah-blah-nonsense-situation, heh
[23:31] <matsaman> tripelb: I just need the output of 'free -m'
[23:31] <blizzow> I try to just edit /etc/resolv.conf, but there's a bunch of scary text in there saying it's worthless now.
[23:31] <matsaman> tripelb: not even the output, just the human-rounded first number (mem total)
[23:32] <tripelb> matsaman I have to reboot the computer to unfreeze the mouse to do anything on the computer, I can't even bring up terminal with the keyboard, iir
[23:32] <blizzow> Why the hell do I need to follow breadcrumbs through the documentation of /etc/resolv.conf into systemd-resolved into netplan, into some other garbage. Jesus I miss my old /etc/resolv.conf
[23:32] <blizzow> When I look for netplan dns howtos, this comes up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbdc_CvDGUM
[23:32] <blizzow> How f'ing true.
[23:33] <matsaman> tripelb: ok
[23:33] <quadrathoch2> blizzow, can you test out systemctl disable --now systemd-resolved.service (because here it works 100% got no resolver anymore)
[23:33] <matsaman> blizzow: because you're using systemd, and it's awful
[23:33] <tripelb> matsaman last time I looked at the RAM out of 8 gigs I think it was using three or else point three. It wasn't anywhere near half
[23:34] <matsaman> tripelb: so you have 8GB total?
[23:34] <tripelb> Well maybe my memory was wrong. I just booted up and totaled a 7.4 gigs and free is 5.4 gigs
[23:34] <tripelb> Available 6154
[23:34] <matsaman> tripelb: okay, so that's fine
[23:35] <blizzow> matsaman, I understand systemd is awful. Oh, don't I know it. quadrathoch2 - so if I disable the garbage that's systemd-resolved, what's doing resolution at that point?
[23:35] <blizzow> Does it fall back to /etc/resolv.conf?
[23:35] <matsaman> tripelb: what does 'swapon -s' say?
[23:35] <blizzow> Does netplan write /etc/resolv.conf?
[23:35] <blizzow> Or does networkmanager do some magique?
[23:35] <quadrathoch2> blizzow, nothing, because only systemd-resolved is setup to resolve anything
[23:36] <matsaman> tripelb: or, 'swapon --show' is better
[23:37] <tripelb> Let me see if the Plex server is running yet. AH HA: NOW: 7.46 total 1.23 used 5.02 free, 5.98=available
[23:37] <tripelb> Now LESS is being used.
[23:37] <quadrathoch2> so is plex still running? I assume that plex is hogging much of the resources
[23:38] <Jordan_U> blizzow: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/network-configuration If you're using network-manager, you should also be able to configure dns via nm-connection-editor or nmtui (terminal ncurses based interface).
[23:39] <blizzow> Should one use netplan or networkmanager?
[23:39] <tripelb> matsaman results of show. /dev/sda14 partition 16M used 0B prio -1.  (Next line/ sda13 1020K 0B -3
[23:39] <quadrathoch2> netplan is just a configurator for nm and systemd-networkd
[23:39] <Jordan_U> blizzow: That depends on your use case. I would expect that servers would benefit more from netplan, and desktops would generally use network-manager.
[23:40] <tripelb> Starting firefox
[23:42] <quadrathoch2> blizzow, did you get it running? because still not 100% sure what you want to achieve
[23:43] <matsaman> tripelb: How about this?: lsblk | grep -i swap
[23:44] <tripelb> From yesterday, top.   https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/ZNf2TGbBGr/
[23:45] <tripelb> matsaman That's yesterday I'll do the LS block now
[23:45] <blizzow> I want to run a docker container or VM with my own dns server that serves DNS on port 53 on 0.0.0.0. I want to change the nameserver on the host running the VM or docker container to 127.0.0.1. I want to point other hosts to use this as a DNS server.
[23:45] <matsaman> blizzow: why's that?
[23:46] <quadrathoch2> blizzow, which software do you want to use for that (because dnsmasq is not bad for that)
[23:46] <tripelb> matsaman There was no output to that LS to grep statement
[23:47] <matsaman> tripelb: I wonder if you have any swap at all, time was with 8GB of RAM it wouldn't be such a big deal, but that might not be the case with contemporary nonsenses
[23:47] <matsaman> swap is usually useful to have
[23:48] <tripelb> I have 16 gigs of swap iir. I will figure out which command will display it in a moment.
[23:48] <tripelb> I see SDA 13 and SDA 14 are both swap One has 1M and the other has 16M
[23:49] <tripelb> I'm speaking because it's easier than typing on a phone
[23:49] <matsaman> tripelb: M as in megabytes is essentially zero swap
[23:50] <tripelb> When I installed the system on this partition... Oh you're right. Can I fix that without reinstalling Ubuntu?
[23:51] <blizzow> quadrathoch2, I want to use knot-resolver locally because A) I'm on a wireless backhaul so my best performing DNS server comes in at about 80ms. B) I want the ability to load a nice blacklist C) I want good metrics out of my DNS server D) I want a DNS server that automatically renews cached items
[23:51] <matsaman> tripelb: yes
[23:52] <quadrathoch2> blizzow, as long as you know how to setup that resolver I am fine with helping you to deactivate any other resolver ;)
[23:52] <Jordan_U> tripelb: Yes. You can either boot from a LiveUSB and use GParted (be sure to test it afterward, in case the UUID for the swap partition changes and you need to modify the /etc/fstab), or you can switch to using a swap file instead of a swap partition.
[23:52] <tripelb> I'm into the swap faq in help.Ubuntu...
[23:53] <quadrathoch2> tripelb, just a sidequestion, do you want to have plex installed? as you already said a few times you removed it (but everything you show us, it's still installed)
[23:54] <tripelb> quadrathoch2 The day I got some kind of an answer in the Plex system they said none of it should run as root. I've never used Plex yet It's not important to me.
[23:55] <tripelb> I definitely want to remove those things running as root.
[23:56] <tripelb> If I have to swap partitions can I just turn them into one swap partition?   This help.ubuntu page is telling me how to add or modify a swap partition.
[23:57] <matsaman> tripelb: yes, it's not 100% safe technically, so make a backup first
[23:57] <matsaman> you would just remove one, resize the other, and make sure it's set up properly
[23:57] <matsaman> if you use a swap file you can just disable any swap partitions and use that and it'll be completely safe
[23:58] <matsaman> when you're messing with actual partitions, there's always a greater than 0 chance something will turn into the shape of a pear
[23:58] <tripelb> Oh I have a few unused 30g partitions. But they were made by Windows and I was afraid to do anything with gparted. At the moment I've quite forgotten my windows password. (My stupid hint is the same as the username)
[23:58] <matsaman> even if usually that doesn't happen
[23:59] <matsaman> tripelb: mmm, well, they're probably not encrypted, so you can likely read the data from Linux
[23:59] <matsaman> tripelb: and back it up if you want
[23:59] <tripelb> Namikazeo I didn't make any encrypted partitions.
[23:59] <matsaman> there are tools to recover/reset passwords, frequently, too
[23:59] <tripelb> .. No I didn't make any encrypted partitions
[23:59] <matsaman> most people don't
[23:59] <tripelb> Yeah well I have to figure that out for windows. I can reset an Ubuntu password with my hand s tied behind my back just using my a stick tied to my nose
