daregapHello, I'm looking for a linux backup solution for Desktop PC -> Remote Server. Preferably I'd use something that doesn't just sync a folder to a remote location, overwriting everything in the process. So for example, if I accidentally erase everything in a local folder and it gets synced to the server then I'll lose data on both ends.06:29
Jordan_Udaregap: rsync is the traditional solution for things like that. It can be configured to only add and never remove files when syncing to your backup server.06:36
Jordan_U!rsync | daregap06:36
ubottudaregap: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync06:36
ducassedaregap: if you want a gui solution, look at back-in-time, it uses rsync to do the work06:49

Ben64it's in my 20.04 install on my laptop, but not in ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes07:11
ducassedaregap: if you use back-in-time, each backup run gets a separate folder. unchanged files are hardlinks, so you can access individual versions of files07:19

michagogoAm I missing something, or does pip for python 2 not exist in focal?10:13
quadrathoch2michagogo python2 is eol10:21
quadrathoch2but there is still python in universe10:21
michagogoYes, I see that10:38
michagogoBut it seems pip is missing?10:39
michagogoOr am I overlooking something?10:39
quadrathoch2michagogo i just told you that there is python2 in universe, but canonical deliberatly didn't package pip, but there are ways to get to it. their stance is, if you want it, you need to know how to get it10:51
quadrathoch2michagogo and if you really need python2 there are still other versions of ubuntu which support it (going up to 12.04)10:53
michagogoI see, thanks10:53
michagogoThat last point was the clarification I was seeking - that python2 still exists as a package but pip intentionally doesn’t10:54
quadrathoch2michagogo oh sorry, then I misunderstood you first10:54
michagogoNp :-)10:55
tribaalI'd like to upgrade from bionic to focal, but would like to do so the "normal" way before I go ahead and edit my sources.list by hand. do-release-upgrade -d (with /etc/upgrade-mananger/release-upgrades set to "lts") fails to authenticate the release tar.gz however, is there a known problem/workaround?11:28
tribaalreinstalling e.g. ubuntu-keyring doesn't seem to help11:28
cousteauHi!  Are Ubuntu versions intentionally named in a way that reflects their intent?  I've noticed that LTS versions are always named something synonymous with "stable" or "reliable" (hardy, lucid, precise, trusty, focal...) whereas the versions right after those are named in a way that suggests "adventurous" or "brave" (edgy, intrepid, maverick?, utopic, groovy...).  I assume this is intentional, right?11:33
tribaalcousteau: I think it is, but only Mark knows for sure :)11:34
BluesKaj'Morning all11:35
cousteauWell yeah but the names are somewhat croudsourced, right?11:35
cousteauMorning11:35
cousteautribaal: btw, I don't know if things have changed a lot but last time I tried to upgrade via sources.list it was a disaster :) so I would advise against that if it can be avoided11:36
quadrathoch2tribaal did you make sure that your sources are correct?11:36
tribaalyeah, I think -updates was disabled for I don't know how long on this machine, so that's probably the source of the problem11:37
tribaalcousteau: no, I think names are Mark's exclusive privilege (although the community does maintain lists of possible/wished names :) )11:38
tribaalquadrathoch2: yep, that was it (no -updates enabled since god-knows-when) so of course ubuntu-keyring was at the release version... :)11:46
quadrathoch2have fun with the upgrade tribaal :)11:46

adrian_1908I've tried the 20.04 server image for my notebook as base to build upon. So far this worked well. I noticed however that some cloud-related messages fly past during starting. I assume most of these are related to CloudInit. Does anyone know if I can simply get rid of that for my workstation, or it intertwined with crucial functionality?12:08
cluelesspersonHow do you disable cpu throttling?12:08
cluelesspersonadrian_1908, find where they're coming from12:09
cluelesspersonthen you can address them12:09
quadrathoch2adrian_1908 no, you can delete it, as it's mostly just telling the right services how they should be configured. but make sure that you know how to get internet (especially with a laptop)12:12
quadrathoch2cluelessperson buy a better cooler? or what specifically do you mean? mitigations?12:12
cluelesspersonquadrathoch2, My cpu keeps throttling constantly down to 800mhz from 1.6, so I manually configured my fan to run full blast and my temps are only around 56C12:13
adrian_1908quadrathoch2: Ok, thank you!12:13
cluelesspersonquadrathoch2, so, I want to disable cpu throttling because it's obviously wrong somehow.12:13
Ben64how is it wrong?12:13
quadrathoch2cluelessperson look into cpu govenor, but as far as I understand what you want to do, it doesn't work, as all modern cpus clock down, to save energy not because of throttling12:15
quadrathoch2(in your case)12:15
cluelesspersonquadrathoch2, well, I'm in chrome and everything gets freaking slow12:16
Ben64does cpu usage spike and everything kinda pauses for a second?12:17
cluelesspersonBen64, I believe so.12:17
Ben64seems to be a chrome bug12:17
cluelesspersonis that the issue you were talking about before?12:17
cluelesspersonBen64, it occurs with other applications as well12:17
Ben64i've been using google-chrome-beta lately it's been great12:17
Ben64it's not gonna be your cpu scaling though unless you're stuck on powersave governor12:19
alien-redfishI want to use a hard drive across Linux (Kubuntu) and Windows, the drive needs to be encrypted but with only one partition - anyone any ideas of the best way to do this?12:26
threeWell your single partition should be formatted ntfs but idk about the encryption12:27
quadrathoch2yeah and I am not sure about ext4 support on windows (in regards to encryption)12:28
cluelesspersonquadrathoch2, well, it seems stuck now at 800Mhz12:28
quadrathoch2at what temps cluelessperson12:28
Ben64cluelessperson: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor12:28
threealien-redfish a better solution is to just go buy another drive and throw in in your computer12:29
quadrathoch2three that doesn't makes any sense :/12:29
_BIGSHOT_how to select fast mirros? my mirror is too slow12:30
_BIGSHOT_i can't download fast12:30
threequadrathoch2 youre right i was thinking he wanted to boot off this drive but that wouldnt make sense as he said it needs one partition12:30
alien-redfish@three I presume you're on about bootable drives / OS. I'm trying to share data back and forth but want to encrypt it.12:30
cluelesspersonBen64,  "performance"12:32
cluelesspersonquadrathoch2, 56C ?12:32
Ben64then it's already at maximum12:32
Ben64and you've already messed with the governors12:32
cluelesspersonmake that 46C12:32
quadrathoch2what type of device are we talking about? desktop or laptop?12:33
threealien-redfish why dont you just separate the files into different directories (like windows and linux) and then have a shared directory and just encrypt the linux directory in linux and the windows one in windows and when you need to move files decrypt them and put them into the shared directory. You could also do this with partitions instead of directories but you said you only want one12:33
_BIGSHOT_anyone?12:33
cluelesspersonBen64, cpu usage is low, I don't think this is chrome12:33
Ben64cluelessperson: but you already have it at performance, you can't go higher12:33
adrian_1908alien-redfish: never used it, but I think VeraCrypt would work for both?12:33

Random_UserAfter upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04 i have run into issues using btcarmory software. The software no longer installs due to dependencies (qt4 python stuff) that are not met. I am not able to find an installation candidate for pyqt4-dev-tools for instance - that is stopping me from compiling from source. the .deb pkg refuses to install due to missing package python-qt4. Is this software too old to run12:58
Random_Useron ubuntu 20.04?12:58
dex1983after finishing the setup I finished the hdd raid the rest installaton began and failed then12:58
quadrathoch2Random_User yes, qt4 is way end of life12:59
quadrathoch2dex1983 software raid1?12:59
threedex1983 the arch wiki had extensive documentation on grub and installing/re-installing. If youre certain its grub thats mucking up after an install I'd just reinstall it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB12:59
dex1983and raid 5 like ovh tutorial12:59

threetry chrooting into your installation and installing grub manually13:02
dex1983reboot and with which live cd?13:02
threedex1983 boot into the live cd and mount your root partition on /mnt and your boot partition to /mnt/boot and the run chroot /mnt and you should be able to run the grub installation. This page goes into detail on how to do that https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB13:04
quadrathoch2dex1983 there should be an option for entering a shell (in the installer)13:04
dex1983yeah quadrathoch2 right but with the installer shell no grub etc. is working :-(13:04
quadrathoch2dex1983 but you should be able to chroot into the installed system13:05
dex1983ah and n the chrooted path grub should work13:06
threedex1983 you should be able to press ctrl+alt+f5 to get to a tty13:07

threedont worry I could install grub in my sleep13:08
dex1983ok thanks please help three so changing to tty5 should work and then13:10
dex1983?13:10
threemount the root partition of the installed OS to /mnt and if you have an efi partition mount it to /mnt/boot13:11
dex1983on ctrl + F2 I get an console13:11
threeshould be able to do this with like (mount /dev/sdx# /mnt)13:12
dex1983ok in my case it was/is /dev/md1 that worked13:12
dex1983and now the efi part13:12
threedo you know if you are booting with uefi or legacy13:13
threeyou can do fdisk -l to see if the installer made you a boot partition it should have either a label like "efi boot" or "boot"13:14

touil76Hello. I have a question about using ubuntu 20.04 with an old graphics card.13:29
threerudeguy go with something like arch then sound like exactly what you want13:30
threetouili76 whats your question13:30
touil76I installed ubuntu 20.04 on my old Dell E520, with radeon X1300 graphics card,13:30
touil76and whenever I boot, after the normal grub with text and all, when it comes to the login screen, all I can see are a bunch of diagonal lines that change somehow when I hover the mouse over them.13:31
Deano59touil76: shoot the question.13:31
oerhekstouil76, pretty old card, radeon is good supported from 4xxx and up.13:31
oerheksnot a youtube card, i say./13:32
touil76All works perfectly with my old ubuntu 16.04 installation.13:32
threecould be the card do you have another lying around you could try13:32
touil76What should I try to get it work ?13:34
touil76Maybe, from login screen on, it's wayland that is in use, and my old card only supports Xorg ?13:34
threewas it artifacting with the green lines in the installation usb too?13:34
touil76No, all went well with the usb installation. The screen worked and everything.13:35
touil76That is why I find it so weird.13:35
threethat is strange. I know this is a simple suggestion but did you try reseating the card?13:35
touil76All is still working good with 16.04 so the card health is not the culprit.13:36
threeis this 20.04 gnome youre on or a different DE?13:37
touil76It's a vanilla install.13:37
touil76I don't remember trying to uninstall gnome.13:37
=== HornyPixel is now known as Voxel

threeconsider trying to install xubuntu. xfce is great anyway13:41
threeplus a DE like gnome will run like sh*t on your Dell e520 its a very heavy piece of software13:42

jwrI know that I can use a tool like `top` to examine system load with process-level granularity in real time. Is there any tool which provides process-level granularity retroactively? Like if a system was under high load two hours ago, is there a tool which can tell me that PID 1234 caused that high load? I've looked at `sar` but I don't think that works at a per-process level.14:53

ubottuEnd-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities.

I am struggling (install using debootstrap) and it basically cannot resolve rpool/ROOT/ubuntu during update-initramfs. There was a patch on launchpad bug tracker by one user, but it didn't work for me :(. Could it be due to the fact that I created the pool from Debian (ZFS 0.8.4) while ubuntu has only ZFS 0.8.3 ?17:53
chaotixpavlos no17:53
chaotixi just tried it using xrandr --size 480x720...  its way too big and too much overscan17:53

Eryn_1983_FLim trying to appease the Devs with a new ubuntu server for docker,20:01
threei mean if its only one server just dd to a raw or something and see if that will do the trick. if its multiple servers you have to create on this hypervisor id stick with the pxe booting. cant you also like install ubuntu some other wacky way over a network20:02
Eryn_1983_FLits just one but they been wanting a few for openstack and stuff so i was thinking long term20:03

Jordan_Udaregap: All of the above is equally true of zfs, but I like btrfs because it's upstream, has no licensing issues, and is IMHO more flexible and well suited to consumer needs.21:02
edoceoI've got this odd issue on T420s Lenovo -- usuall xrandr shows one DVI output -- but after I come back from Hibernate it shows TWO there is a new phantom VGA-1 device added21:09
edoceoit's not real21:09
edoceoHow can I force the system to not enable that phantom device?21:12
matsamanedoceo: could you just say xrandr --output VGA-1 --off?21:15
edoceoYea, but how to make that run on every boot, and on ever time I come back from hibernate21:19
edoceoCause somehow, this new thing gets added when we go into hibernate.21:19
edoceoMaybe it's this nvidia drviver?21:19
matsamanthere are some filesystem spots you can drop scripts to run on wake21:19
oerheksi am sure that 520 has a vga port too, left side21:19
matsamanedoceo: which Ubuntu version?21:20
edoceoThen then after the failed restore from hibernate, which addes this phantom VGA-1 then next proper boot has the resultion all to heck.21:20
edoceoLatest xubuntu w/Xfce 4.1221:20
oerheksoops 42021:20
edoceoIt's a fresh install21:20
matsamanedoceo: latest isn't a version21:20
edoceomatsaman: but you know which version I mean right?  Latest version; which is Xubuntu 20.04 LTS21:21
edoceoThe docs call it "Latest LTS release: 20.04, Focal Fossa"21:22
matsamanI do now21:22
matsaman'latest' is an English word that is arbitrary, it's unfortunate if they use it against versions on download sites21:22
edoceoI'll let the folks who operate xubuntu.org know21:23

matsamanedoceo: https://askubuntu.com/questions/92218/how-to-execute-a-command-after-resume-from-suspend21:23
edoceoOk, that's good - but how can I fix the ubuntu display detection issue for-real, rather than an on/boot/resume/hibernate/thaw process.21:26
edoceoLike, why is the machine adding "VGA-1 connected" when no-such thing is happening?  Then adding DP-1,2,3 too (after a reboot).  Shouldn't this display configuration be pretty static and not change each boot?21:27
matsamanedoceo: I assume a deep dive into xrandr source might help you figure that out21:31

aumDoes the server version of Ubuntu 20.03 not have boot-from-zfs option?21:42
sarnoldaum: it does not; that'll probably come later, but afaik there's no timetable for it21:45

Severswhat would be a reason that PDFs are printing properly, do i need a different PDF reader than the default that comes with ubuntu?22:00
matsamanSevers: are or aren't printing properly?22:01
Seversarent, the first couple ive tried have had none of the fill in information on the print, and then another one printed blank pages22:03
Seversfor instance, one of the things i am attempting to print out right now is a filled in form 1040 regarding my taxes... and its just printing a unused form 104022:04
matsamanSevers: talking about for fillable forms?22:05
Seversyeah22:05
matsamanSevers: that's all Adobe proprietary BS, IME22:05
Seversso theres no good way to print it from linux?22:05
matsamanSevers: I've heard okular might do better22:06
matsamanSevers: pdfedit obviously, but that's more editing than filling22:06
matsamanSevers: what you really "want" is adobe's actual acroread22:06
matsamanSevers: actually I've read evince can do it under _some_ circumstances22:06
Seversi installed that off the Ubuntu store, when i go to print it just brings up a blank error box22:06
Seversill try evince22:07
matsamanwhat I usually do22:08
matsamanand I usually do this even for fillable forms when I have acroread22:08
matsaman(because usually fillable forms reformat things terribly fugly)22:08
matsamanis open the PDF in Inkscape and put in my digital text however I like22:08
matsamanit's more time consuming, but the finished product can be as perfect as I want22:08
oerhekshow about libreoffice?22:08
matsamanand you even eliminate certain restrictions22:08
Severseverything is already filled in, its not printing the filled in info when i click print22:09
matsamanfastest way would be to take a screenshot & print it22:10
WalexLibreOffice can edit PDFs too22:21
Seversediting isnt the issue, printing is22:22
Seversthanks for the help guys22:22
matsamanSevers: take a screen shot & print it, or seek out acroread, or edit it22:22
matsamanthose are your straightforward options22:23
Seversyeah i converted them to images22:23
matsamanor print it out and fill it in by hand =)22:23
matsamanPDFs on websites always sucked, for forms too22:23
Seversproblem with that is one of the PDFs wouldnt even print out any of the document whatsoever, it would print completely blank pages22:23
matsamanyeah there are at least a couple different form standards in adobe's proprietary bs22:24
Seversall i can say is... its just so dumb22:25

forgotmynickhello. i followed this guide to create a notification for when a user logs in and it works great (https://askubuntu.com/a/448602). i'm now using putty on windows and adding an environmental variable (acceptenv set in sshd config) which is available in the shell when logged in but not with the script. is there something i need to change?22:35
sarnoldforgotmynick: the PAM module pam_env is often configured for services and may cause the environment variable set by the remote client to be discarded during the authenticatino process22:40
sarnoldforgotmynick: eg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/92074922:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 920749 in openssh (Ubuntu) "pam configuration for SSH prevents LANG override" [Medium,Triaged]22:41
forgotmynicki was hoping to add an variable and if present, skips the login notification :(22:44
giacoI have 2 ubuntu machines. In one I write an utf8 encoded txt file with vim, and it works correctly. When I rsync that file to second ubuntu machine, when I open it with vim I see special characters replaced with _22:55
giacothe hash of the 2 files is identical so it must be a local problem22:57
giacosolved, it was a locale problem23:10
miu5hi, Im looking for this version of crontab in the Ubuntu Manpages, specifically for the MAILFROM that is used in here: https://linux.die.net/man/5/crontab .  Anyone can help?23:19
matsamanman 5 crontab ?23:20
miu5matsaman, man 5 crontab does not have MAILFROM inside the pages.23:22
pavlosmatsaman: there is a MAILTO23:23
matsamanmiu5: what's your cron implementation?23:24
miu5yes i know theres MAILTO.   i want to set MAILFROM. My question is, why is MAILFROM discussed on https://linux.die.net/man/5/crontab, but its nowhere to be found in the Ubuntu manpages?23:25
matsamanmaybe the particular single cron implementation you're using23:25
matsamandoesn't support it, or doesn't mention it in _its_ man pages23:26
matsamanthere are tons of cron implementations23:26
sarnoldmiu5: there's a bunch of different cron implementations: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DKCGNjtrs6/23:26
matsamantry cronie23:26
sarnoldmiu5: try some of the other packages23:26
sarnoldmiu5: there's a chance that debian/ubuntu doesn't have *that* cron implementatino packaged23:26
sarnoldmiu5: if you find out whast implementation it *is*, you can check if we have a package for it, or package it yourself if we don't23:26
miu5sarnold, how can i find out the exact version of cron i am using?  and how do i find out what implementation it is?23:27
matsamandpkg -l | grep -i cron23:27
pavlosif MAILFROM is defined, it will be used else "root" will be used23:27
sarnoldmiu5: man cron, scroll to the end. it *probably* says author, paul vixie..23:28
matsamanvixie's man page covers MAILFROM, IME23:28
matsamanI doubt Ubuntu would ship vixie by default though23:29
miu5sarnold, scrolled to the end but doesnt say version. i found it with dpkg from matsaman.   its 2.3-2423:31
matsamanmiu5: okay 2.3-24 but what package?23:32
miu5and 3.0pl1-128.1ubuntu123:32
matsamanjust 'cron'?23:32
miu5anacron23:32
miu5anacron 2.3-2423:32
miu5cron 3.0pl1-128.1ubuntu123:32
matsamanit's probably bcron, then23:33
pavlosapt list cron23:33
matsamanI think Debian is moving to cronie, so that should happen in Ubuntu after a while, too23:33
matsamanand of course systemd has some kind of thing23:34
miu5cron/bionic,now 3.0pl1-128.1ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic]23:34
=== Voxel is now known as V7
=== V7 is now known as Voxel
miu5so what implementation is MAILFROM in then? matsaman23:35
matsamanmore than one implementation supports it23:36
matsamanI would suggest 'cronie' if it's available23:36
matsamannot sure it is23:37
matsamanhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cron/+bug/175005123:37
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1750051 in cron (Ubuntu) "cron doesn't support MAILFROM" [Low,Triaged]23:37
miu5hmm interesting23:38
miu5no wonder its not there.23:39
matsamanbit weird the commentors are trying to patch the existing cron instead of just making the version that supports it available =P23:41
miu5yea. thanks matsaman23:42
matsamancommenters* I guess23:48
