| ax562 | Hi all! I'm running ubuntu 20.04 lts with a usb adapter. It's actually my cell phone usb tethering. My problem is if I disconnect the device and plug it back in, I cannot get a usb internet signal. I have to restart the pc. How can I fix this? I remember there being a command to turn something off and on. I just can't remember what. | 00:02 |

| CoreyLuL | Heya! I want to move to using Ubuntu, but my concern is that my wifi card in my PC won't work | 01:36 |
| sarnold | CoreyLuL: the installer is a 'live image', if you boot into it, you'll probably be able to tell whether or not the wifi will work before you install | 01:37 |
| DragonRiver | CoreyLuL, try ubuntu without installing it, check if your wifi card works. If it does, then yu can choose to install or not. | 01:37 |
| Ketzer | WiFi support has gotten significantly better over the years; what i'd suggest is that when you do install Ubuntu, to choose third-party proprietary software because quite often WiFi drivers are proprietary blobs (non-free software) | 01:37 |
| Ketzer | you could also try googling your WiFi chipset + Ubuntu in your search engine of choice | 01:37 |
| Ketzer | and see if people have reported issues | 01:38 |
| HarryChen | Welcome! You can try Ubuntu using live mode without install it to test your wifi card | 01:38 |
| CoreyLuL | It's a TP-Link AC1300 if that helps at all | 01:38 |
| DragonRiver | CoreyLuL, we told you what to do. Doing it yourself will help. I have spoken. | 01:39 |
| CoreyLuL | I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow, don't have a USB with me | 01:40 |
| Ketzer | CoreyLuL, https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/170186 this may be useful; but do try Ubuntu out on a live boot medium as you've been suggested | 01:40 |
| Ketzer | i see | 01:40 |
| oerheks | sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms, could be done from the live iso | 01:41 |
| HarryChen | well seems like TP-Link AC1300 (Archer T6E) uses a Broadcom chip | 01:45 |
| HarryChen | which only has a proprietary driver | 01:45 |
| Ketzer | right | 01:45 |
| HarryChen | I guess ubuntu can find the suitable driver for you | 01:48 |
| === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly | ||
| HarryChen | But you may need a active internet connection other than WIFI card in order to let apt build cache and download package | 01:49 |
| CoreyLuL | that's the issue, I don't have a way to guarantee internet | 01:49 |
| HarryChen | an active* | 01:49 |
| sarnold | once you're booted into the live environment, try: ubuntu-drivers devices | 01:49 |
| HarryChen | "ubuntu-drivers devices" requires an internet connection | 01:50 |
| sarnold | :( | 01:50 |
| HarryChen | Maybe you can download the deb packages before install and put them into the "writable" partition on your usb? | 01:51 |
| CoreyLuL | Yea I can try that | 01:51 |
| HarryChen | Then you will be able to access them and manually install them after installed ubuntu | 01:51 |

| mr_lou | My PC tends to become really slow after a day or so. Today I found out it's probably because Wine seems to start a bunch of applications by itself in the background. Does that sound like a Windows virus of some kind? | 03:22 |
| josmala | Wifi problem Intel 9260 seems to be disables under 20.04 and cannot find how to enable it. | 03:30 |
| josmala | Tried the apt-get firmware install, didn't try to enable in MS-Windows since I don't have one. | 03:32 |
| josmala | Next thing I would of tried was to upgrade the Kernel beyond what is in the repositories but there were plenty of warnings against using mainline on the pages telling how to do it. | 03:53 |
| Ketzer | mainline kernels don't have Ubuntu-specific patches, yeah -- using them can seriously bork your Ubuntu system afaik | 03:54 |
| josmala | Are there any ppa:s that have to patches on newer kernels. | 03:55 |
| josmala | Or is there safe way to get beyond 5.4.0 in the 20.04 | 03:59 |
| Ben64 | wait for 20.04.1? | 04:05 |
| josmala | Oh there other releases than xx.10 and xx.04 ? | 04:07 |
| Ketzer | josmala, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule | 04:10 |
| josmala | The point release happens after the main reason for having wifi enabled motherboard ends for this year. | 04:13 |
| josmala | The strange thing is that I cannot find others having same issues with 20.04 but a lot having same problems with 18.04 on the internet. | 04:13 |
| HarryChen | josmala: maybe follow the development builds? so that you don't have to wait for HWE | 04:17 |
| josmala | I got 5.6-oem and that didn't fix the issue so I think the issue could be somewhere else. | 04:18 |
| HarryChen | try iwlwifi-backports? | 04:19 |
| josmala | how ? | 04:20 |
| HarryChen | apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms | 04:21 |
| HarryChen | I guess that way you can get the latest iwlwifi driver | 04:21 |

| famubu | Hi. I upgraded to ubuntu 18.04 a few months and usually had no problems. | 05:09 |
| famubu | Occassionally the boot process would get stuck at 'starting gnome display | 05:09 |
| famubu | manager' but after restarting it usually got right. But now it wasn't wo | 05:09 |
| famubu | rking at all. I searched online and found questions like https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032639/ubuntu-18-04-stuck-in-boot-after-starting-gnome-display-manager-on-intel-graphic Is it a bug. As a temporary solution, I a | 05:09 |
| famubu | m using lightdm now. | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | famubu: Do you know how many boots ago the last time you were still using GDM? I'd like to get the journalctl logs from that boot for GDM. | 05:15 |

| Jordan_U | famubu: Do you know how many boots ago the last time you were still using GDM? I'd like to get the journalctl logs from that boot for GDM. | 05:25 |
| famubu | Jordan_U: How can I get the logs? I've been using lightdm for the last 2 boots but I've booted in recovery mode a number of times before that. Then no dm kicked in. | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | famubu: Actually, limiting to one boot probably doesn't matter that much. Please run "journalctl --unit gdm | pastebinit". That will post all the logs from gdm (since you first installed Ubuntu) to https://paste.ubuntu.com and then will output a link. Please share the link with us here. | 05:27 |
| famubu | Jordan_U: Okay. That info is okay to be shared publicly, right? I mean, no personally identifiable stuff? | 05:31 |
| famubu | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8pDHXGqgBg/ | 05:35 |
| famubu | Jordan_U_: Sorry connection issue again. The link is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8pDHXGqgBg/ | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | famubu: I'm seeing multiple links to what seems to be the same bug you're having, without a clear resolution. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1446530 in Fedora is one, and one commenter there says that re-installing gnome-settings-daemon solved the problem for them. Of course, that is an entirely different distro, and just one person's experience. | 05:47 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1446530 in gdm "GLib: g_hash_table_find: assertion 'version == hash_table->version' failed" [Unspecified,Closed: eol] | 05:47 |
| famubu | Jordan_U: So it is a gdm problem, right? If I keep using lightdm, I can avoid it? I saw a post which said even 19.10 was having that problem. | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | famubu: It's hard to say for sure, but the combination of error messages from GDM and the fact that switching to lightdm eliminated the problem strongly suggests that it's a GDM problem and that you should be fine if you stay with lightdm. | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | famubu: Whenever you upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 it's probably worth trying GDM again. | 05:52 |
| famubu | Jordan_U: All right. Thanks a lot for your help! | 05:53 |
| famubu | Jordan_U: One more thing. Is it okay from a privacy point of view to publicly post logs online? This was my first time and I wasn't sure about it. Maybe it is acceptable to do some sort of polishing of the data beforehand? | 05:55 |
| Jordan_U | famubu: Generally, yes. It's good to look at what's there quickly before posting it, and if you're worried you can ask the rest of the channel. We're very good about not letting people give malicious or privacy violating instructions in this channel, but caution is always good. | 06:02 |

| Monotoko | pombreda you need dist-upgrade | 06:48 |

| Monotoko | try it with -d and see what comes up | 06:52 |
| pombreda | Monotoko: ok | 06:53 |
| pombreda | Monotoko: sigh. Upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release. | 06:54 |
| Monotoko | the other way would be to just replace your sources | 06:54 |
| Monotoko | with 18.04 sources | 06:54 |
| Monotoko | and upgrade with dist-upgrade | 06:54 |
| Monotoko | (the debian way) | 06:55 |
| pombreda | if feel like this will hurt :D | 06:55 |

| OERIAS | Just Google | 07:18 |
| pombreda | OERIAS: could that be a problem for NordVPN rather than here? | 07:21 |
| OERIAS | pombreda, NordVPN works fine under Windows and MacOS | 07:22 |
| OERIAS | under ubuntu it has been giving me grief | 07:22 |

| OERIAS | and this is a clean install | 07:22 |
| pombreda | OERIAS: IMHO you should contact their support. I am not sure that this channel can help you solve a possible bug in their software :) | 07:24 |
| OERIAS | how do you know it is a bug? | 07:24 |
| OERIAS | on my end it is a problem with Ubuntu since I have tried this VPN on two other operating systems | 07:25 |
| OERIAS | and they are working fine | 07:25 |

| ioria | wingedrhino, or use the -n, --no-update flag | 12:09 |
| wingedrhino | ioria: can I pass multiple URLs to add-apt-repository? Otherwise looks like I'll just bypass the tool and do it manually | 12:09 |

| ld50 | hi, i'd like to completly disable sound output. i've put "blacklist snd" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-snd.conf, even added modprobe.blacklist=snd to my kernel commandline - but the module gets loaded anyway | 12:56 |
| Velarde | ld50: blacklist might not work if the module is loaded after boo | 13:07 |
| Velarde | *boot | 13:07 |
| ld50 | Velarde: that's why i stuck it into the kernel commandline, too | 13:08 |
| Velarde | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_module#Using_files_in_/etc/modprobe.d/_2 check the note in this section | 13:17 |
| BluesKaj | ld50, whynot just enable automute in alsamixer ...just a workaround but it works | 13:17 |
| ld50 | BluesKaj: i need to remotely disable sound on a lot of machines using ansible | 13:18 |
| Velarde | you can force the module to fail on loading according to the Archwiki | 13:19 |
| Velarde | even if another module calls it as dependency after booting | 13:19 |
| ld50 | Velarde: already tried the "install snd /bin/false" method, didn't have any effect at all. maybe the module is loaded inside the initramfs | 13:19 |
| Velarde | ld50: then you can remove it from the mkinitcpio.conf file too | 13:21 |
| ld50 | module_blacklist=snd in the kernel cmdline did the trick | 13:22 |
| Velarde | great | 13:22 |
| ld50 | kinda confusing, everybody tells you that /etc/modprobe.d/ is the way to go, does not work. then you look at kernel cmd options and there is module_blacklist=snd, snd.blacklist=yes and modprobe.blacklist=snd | 13:23 |
| ld50 | and only the module_blacklist one works | 13:24 |
| ld50 | Velarde: BluesKaj: thanks for your time | 13:25 |
| Velarde | ld50: thanks for sharing the solution | 13:31 |
| ld50 | Velarde: i'd be nowhere without the great people on the internet sharing their knowledge, it's the least i can do :) | 13:33 |

| kinghat | hey ppls, is there a date for 20.04.1? | 16:36 |
| oerheks | official august 6th, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule | 16:38 |
| oerheks | !ltsupgrade | 16:38 |
| ubottu | Regular upgrades from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS will be enabled once 20.04.1 is released in late July. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 16:38 |
| oerheks | rumour is 23 july.. | 16:38 |
| hggdh | oerheks: AFAICR, it slipped from July to Aug (there was an email to -dev announcing it) | 16:39 |
| oerheks | to see the work in progress: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-20.04.1 | 16:39 |
| kinghat | ah nice. thanks for the schedule, oerheks! | 16:40 |
| oerheks | hggdh, ah, thanks | 16:40 |

| oerheks | gnome-tweak-tool can set date/seconds and week numbers, not year in the top panel. | 17:30 |

| Elliot_Alderson | Has anyone experienced random freezing on Ubuntu 20.04? | 18:28 |
| sruli | sarnold: the question is not about snap apps, i dont use them so dont care for them, i read that ubuntu install snap-core with a closed distribution system and it can / does push some apps and i am not in control of this, is this true? | 18:29 |

| Elliot_Alderson | @sarnold thank you | 18:31 |
| sruli | sarnold: kind of a backdoor type thing, i have seen it in multiple places recently https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/02/linux_mint_team_snap/ | 18:32 |
| nbusrone | <sarnold> : how do I file a bug report ? | 18:33 |
| sruli | if i install something using APT does ubuntu decide if to use apt package or snap package? and does it forcefully install snap, this is what i need to know | 18:34 |
| tarelerulz | Do any know if Hulu works in the browser ? I know chrome Netflix and Amazon prime work but those are only two. Hulu could use a different system . I ask because never hear anything about mainstream things like that | 18:35 |
| tarelerulz | any I might want to use it Hulu | 18:36 |
| sarnold | sruli: it looks like the preinst script will prompt the user in some fashion http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/x7MjWnrTwM/ | 18:36 |
| sruli | sarnold: what calls this script? apt? | 18:38 |
| sarnold | sruli: yes | 18:39 |
| sarnold | sruli: that's run when you run apt install chromium-browser | 18:39 |
| sruli | oouch, this can be extended to check snap store for anything... and in theory if i want to install y it can install x, why this backdoor? just remove chromium from apt and provide a message that its only available in snap, this is a very bad route to go... i really really really dont want to go to another distro... been using ubuntu 10 years :-( | 18:41 |
| tarelerulz | Haha sruli its not cheating | 18:42 |
| sruli | why would u say its not cheating? if i want chromium as an apt package, either provide it or "Unable to locate package chromium - try snap..." why install something else? ;-( | 18:43 |
| sarnold | sruli: if you don't want snapd, just purge it, and it's gone | 18:43 |
| sruli | sarnold: i understand apt has been re-written and it cant really be removed, am i wrong? | 18:44 |
| sarnold | sruli: apt? | 18:45 |
| tarelerulz | My point was , I switch distro all the time to get one thing done at times. sometimes , I switch one or two to get one thing done. | 18:45 |
| kyle__ | sarnold: you could uninstall apt at some point? I never knew that. | 18:49 |
| sruli | sarnold: you are saying if i purge snap apt wont install snap chromium? whats to stop it from installing snap? | 18:50 |
| sruli | tarelerulz: i use 3 different distros for my servers and regular ubuntu for my desktop.. dont like to change desktop | 18:50 |
| sarnold | kyle__: hopefully we have something in place to discourage uninstalling apt, just as we have something to discourage people from uninstalling sudo | 18:50 |
| sruli | whoever said anything about uninstalling apt? | 18:51 |
| sarnold | Thu 18 18:44:59 < sruli> sarnold: i understand apt has been re-written and it cant really be removed, am i wrong? | 18:51 |
| Elliot_Alderson | sarnold: Should I move to wayland to prevent the freezing? | 18:51 |
| sarnold | Thu 18 18:49:26 < kyle__> sarnold: you could uninstall apt at some point? I never knew that. | 18:51 |
| sarnold | Elliot_Alderson: I have no idea, sorry, I just know about the bug | 18:51 |
| sarnold | Elliot_Alderson: I never see freezing in my system, on X11, but I'm running i3wm, not gnome | 18:51 |
| sruli | ooops re-phrase... i meant to write the snap part that has been written into apt cant be removed | 18:51 |
| sarnold | sruli: apt purge snapd -- if you want to make sure it stays gone, use the equivs package to make a fake snapd package so the dependency will *look* satisfied | 18:52 |
| kyle__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QDYCKQyqQ8/ | 18:53 |
| sruli | sarnold: so i need to use trickery.. :-( | 18:53 |
| sarnold | kyle__: the sudo check is in a maintainer script | 18:53 |
| kyle__ | Well, I would have use ansi colors and seen if I could implement a good "blink" type thing, but there is some warning at least. | 18:53 |
| sarnold | kyle__: perhaps apt has one in a maintainer script too | 18:53 |
| sarnold | sruli: meh, I'd just apt purge snapd and leave it at that | 18:53 |
| kyle__ | I would really hope most people purging things would notice that ubuntu-minimal was being removed, and that would give a good indicator on its own this is a bad idea... but yeah. | 18:54 |
| sarnold | kyle__: the usual bug report I see is people trying to install some guitar software that has *terrible* packaging and apt tries to remove sudo as a result | 18:55 |
| kyle__ | Ewww. | 18:55 |
| kyle__ | In repo, or out of repo? | 18:55 |

| sarnold | kyle__: yeah, pretty much; the old debian installer is still around but in 20.04 it's untested; future releases will probably stop building it | 19:05 |

| tarrie | i want an exfat disk to auto mount, the disk mounts fine when using "user session defaults" (leaving "mount at startup" unchecked), but when i disable defaults my user can't write to the disk. what do i need to do to mount at startup and allow any user to write and execute from disk? | 23:17 |
| sarnold | ifdef42: dns? | 23:18 |
| ifdef42 | sarnold, interesting. what do you think i should check? | 23:18 |
| ifdef42 | a few dig commands seem to return plenty fast fwiw | 23:19 |
| sarnold | ifdef42: try resolvectl, make sure everything htere makes sense | 23:20 |
| ifdef42 | so e.g. apt install hexchat to get in here took 3min 44s! | 23:20 |
| ifdef42 | 18.04 btw | 23:21 |
| ifdef42 | simple lookups at least return in 6-25ms, seems good | 23:24 |
| giaco | I have some calibration stuff generated by xinput_calibration tool to add to xorg configuration. The tools says to add it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d but seems ignored by ubuntu | 23:24 |
| giaco | I'm using ubuntu 20.04 | 23:24 |
| cgipython | Any ideas on fixing my wifi chipset issue with mac laptop + ubuntu 20.04? | 23:24 |
| sarnold | ifdef42: dang. I liked that idea. | 23:25 |
| sarnold | ifdef42: try using libeatmydata? | 23:25 |
| ifdef42 | ;) yeah it did sound promising | 23:25 |
| nugroho | WHA420355-SOC155694-YMH297433-WHA800477-JPL749250-APB800779 | 23:26 |
| ifdef42 | okay hadn't heard of that, so you mean run apt with that and see if fsync is source of the problem? | 23:27 |
| sarnold | ifdef42: yeah | 23:27 |
| ifdef42 | i replaced the laptop's failing HDD with a (SATA :/) SSD, so my biggest suspicion was around disk. this is also a weird early ultrabook that had a 32-GB mSata card which i took out, used as a cache or something | 23:28 |
| oerheks | cgipython, you never answered .. <jeremy31> cgipython: post URL from terminal for> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net | nc termbin.com 9999 | 23:29 |
| ifdef42 | so i wonder if BIOS? or something could be weird about that missing, but it seems like things work okay. also whatever i attempted to measure disk throughput (just dd stuff) seemed like i was getting a reasonable approximation of the max expected for sata ssd | 23:29 |
| cgipython | oerheks, I am not connected to that machine | 23:29 |
| oerheks | wel, plug in cable and try? | 23:30 |
| Bashing-om | ifdef42: ^ then a thought: is AHCI enabled in bios ( took me forever to figure mine out when I instaled a SSD). | 23:30 |
| cgipython | oerheks, I see Boradcom Inc. BCM4331 a/b/g/n | 23:31 |
| cgipython | rev 02 | 23:31 |
| ifdef42 | Bashing-om, hmm i only know AHCI as "something to do with disks" :) so... i want it, or i don't? | 23:31 |
| cgipython | oerheks, Kernel driver in use : bcma-pci-bridge | 23:31 |
| ifdef42 | bios had ridiculously few tweakable settings though | 23:31 |
| sarnold | you want AHCI | 23:32 |
| Bashing-om | ifdef42: "Advanced Host Controller Interface" You for sure want it :D | 23:32 |
| ifdef42 | heh ;) okay it has this "intel rapid storage technology" that was doing some weird raid between the msata and ssd, plus another cache partition on the msata. but it seemed to bow out of the way when i took out the msata and nothing in bios about it | 23:33 |
| ifdef42 | well i'm on this gem of a box now, so, back later... :) | 23:33 |
| sarnold | good luck :) | 23:33 |
| ifdef42 | ty | 23:33 |
| * ifdef42 eyes three other pcs on around me | 23:33 | |
| oerheks | cgipython, you need networking for this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 23:35 |
| nugroho | Ubuntu 5.10 - Edubuntu 5.10 - Kubuntu 5.10 [DVD/iso/iso] | 23:35 |
| oerheks | nugroho, no need to show us again, EOL, dead, no support | 23:36 |
| cgipython | oerheks, why wasnt the open source driver included in the kernel? 20.04lts - do you know? | 23:37 |
| ifdef42 | Bashing-om, yeah nothing about AHCI in BIOS i think | 23:37 |
| oerheks | i am sure if the license allows it, we shit it. | 23:38 |
| oerheks | err ship it | 23:38 |
| oerheks | bcm is not a good friend with opensource | 23:39 |
| Bashing-om | ifdef42: In my case (Phoenix bios) I had to enable raid to get AHCI. | 23:39 |
| jeremy31 | cgipython: you need the firmware-b43-installer package | 23:39 |
| ifdef42 | i guess i should be able to see in dmesg or something if it's found | 23:40 |
| ifdef42 | i guess maybe i should do strace on apt | 23:40 |
| cgipython | I see | 23:40 |
| jeremy31 | cgipython: might have to USB tether to a smartphone | 23:41 |
| Bashing-om | ifdef42: I greped dmesg and syslog here for "ahci" with no return. | 23:44 |
| ifdef42 | i see e.g. ahci 000:00:1f.2: AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 6 ports 6 Gbps 0x1 impl RAID mode | 23:45 |
| ifdef42 | and a few other lines | 23:45 |
| ifdef42 | i wonder if that means it's *in* raid mode; there is no raid, just the one disk now | 23:45 |
| ifdef42 | hmm there's a bios update, maybe the new one has more options | 23:48 |

| cgipython | jeremy31, I'll wait till I have an ethernet cable :( | 23:49 |
