[00:02] 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. === halvors1 is now known as halvors [00:03] ax562: wild guesses, rfkill or nmcli ? [00:04] sarnold hmm, doesn't ring a bell but I can try. Ty [00:04] dang === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:36] Heya! I want to move to using Ubuntu, but my concern is that my wifi card in my PC won't work [01:37] 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] 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] 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] you could also try googling your WiFi chipset + Ubuntu in your search engine of choice [01:38] and see if people have reported issues [01:38] Welcome! You can try Ubuntu using live mode without install it to test your wifi card [01:38] It's a TP-Link AC1300 if that helps at all [01:39] CoreyLuL, we told you what to do. Doing it yourself will help. I have spoken. [01:40] I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow, don't have a USB with me [01:40] 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] i see [01:41] sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms, could be done from the live iso [01:45] well seems like TP-Link AC1300 (Archer T6E) uses a Broadcom chip [01:45] which only has a proprietary driver [01:45] right [01:48] I guess ubuntu can find the suitable driver for you === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly [01:49] But you may need a active internet connection other than WIFI card in order to let apt build cache and download package [01:49] that's the issue, I don't have a way to guarantee internet [01:49] an active* [01:49] once you're booted into the live environment, try: ubuntu-drivers devices [01:50] "ubuntu-drivers devices" requires an internet connection [01:50] :( [01:51] Maybe you can download the deb packages before install and put them into the "writable" partition on your usb? [01:51] Yea I can try that [01:51] Then you will be able to access them and manually install them after installed ubuntu === feodoran is now known as Guest71905 === feodoran_ is now known as feodoran [02:55] Is there a way to configure netplan so the host uses a static IP but informs DNS of the IP and hostname? Or is that not a thing? === nt0_ is now known as nt0 [03:22] 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? [03:30] Wifi problem Intel 9260 seems to be disables under 20.04 and cannot find how to enable it. [03:32] Tried the apt-get firmware install, didn't try to enable in MS-Windows since I don't have one. [03:53] 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. [03:54] mainline kernels don't have Ubuntu-specific patches, yeah -- using them can seriously bork your Ubuntu system afaik [03:55] Are there any ppa:s that have to patches on newer kernels. [03:59] Or is there safe way to get beyond 5.4.0 in the 20.04 [04:05] wait for 20.04.1? [04:07] Oh there other releases than xx.10 and xx.04 ? [04:10] josmala, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule [04:13] The point release happens after the main reason for having wifi enabled motherboard ends for this year. [04:13] 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. [04:17] josmala: maybe follow the development builds? so that you don't have to wait for HWE [04:18] I got 5.6-oem and that didn't fix the issue so I think the issue could be somewhere else. [04:19] try iwlwifi-backports? [04:20] how ? [04:21] apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms [04:21] I guess that way you can get the latest iwlwifi driver [04:34] hello all. suggestions please for Go IDE's and graphical git tools?

[04:46] it gets a little further if i do not configure ethernet [04:47] actually, its getting a lot farther [05:09] Hi. I upgraded to ubuntu 18.04 a few months and usually had no problems. [05:09] Occassionally the boot process would get stuck at 'starting gnome display [05:09] manager' but after restarting it usually got right. But now it wasn't wo [05:09] 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] m using lightdm now. [05:15] 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. [05:21] Sorry. Had got disconnected. === BromaxSux1 is now known as BromaxSux [05:25] 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] 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. [05:27] 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. [05:31] Jordan_U: Okay. That info is okay to be shared publicly, right? I mean, no personally identifiable stuff? [05:35] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8pDHXGqgBg/ [05:39] Jordan_U_: Sorry connection issue again. The link is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8pDHXGqgBg/ [05:47] 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] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1446530 in gdm "GLib: g_hash_table_find: assertion 'version == hash_table->version' failed" [Unspecified,Closed: eol] [05:48] 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. [05:51] 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. [05:52] famubu: Whenever you upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 it's probably worth trying GDM again. [05:53] Jordan_U: All right. Thanks a lot for your help! [05:55] 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? [06:02] 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. [06:24] is there some popular "lm-sensors" gnome applet?

I am trying to upgrade a VM from 16.04 to 18.04 [06:48] pombreda you need dist-upgrade [06:51] oh I think it might be because of 20.04 release... is it possible to upgrade to 18.04 anymore? [06:52] try it with -d and see what comes up [06:53] Monotoko: ok [06:54] Monotoko: sigh. Upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release. [06:54] the other way would be to just replace your sources [06:54] with 18.04 sources [06:54] and upgrade with dist-upgrade [06:55] (the debian way) [06:55] if feel like this will hurt :D [06:55] but yeah [06:55] yeah generally I just reinstall when it gets this bad [06:57] :| [07:14] upgrading with dist-upgrade is unsupported, use do-release-upgrade [07:15] pombreda: check /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades - make sure Prompt is set to lts [07:16] hi [07:17] I currently have a networking on my PC [07:17] ducasse: that was it :) I had disabled that in the UI a long time ago I guess [07:17] I have NordVPN running and for some reason it randomly drops and picks up the connection again [07:18] ducasse: Monotoko: thank you ++ .... sudo do-release-upgrade -c ...

I am not sure that this channel can help you solve a possible bug in their software :) [07:24] how do you know it is a bug? [07:25] on my end it is a problem with Ubuntu since I have tried this VPN on two other operating systems [07:25] and they are working fine [07:25] I think it is something pertaining to Ubuntu [07:29] I am trying to Ping sites and it does not work [07:31] how can i open a port in my console firewall?

I'm working on a nvidia jetson xavier NX, and my main objective is to create a service using systemd that starts on boot. however, i can't verify whether the service does actually start, as i cannot ssh in until i physically login through a monitor [12:09] wingedrhino, or use the -n, --no-update flag [12:09] 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] oh there's a no-update flag? Perfect.

Which one does Ubuntu 20.04 use? I see Nautilus is for Gnome, which Ubuntu is running but it looks like the file manager is just called "Files" [12:49] files is nautilus [12:50] If you are using Gnome then nautilus integration is what you want [12:56] 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 [13:07] ld50: blacklist might not work if the module is loaded after boo [13:07] *boot [13:08] Velarde: that's why i stuck it into the kernel commandline, too [13:17] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_module#Using_files_in_/etc/modprobe.d/_2 check the note in this section [13:17] ld50, whynot just enable automute in alsamixer ...just a workaround but it works [13:18] BluesKaj: i need to remotely disable sound on a lot of machines using ansible [13:19] you can force the module to fail on loading according to the Archwiki [13:19] even if another module calls it as dependency after booting [13:19] Velarde: already tried the "install snd /bin/false" method, didn't have any effect at all. maybe the module is loaded inside the initramfs [13:21] ld50: then you can remove it from the mkinitcpio.conf file too [13:22] module_blacklist=snd in the kernel cmdline did the trick [13:22] great [13:23] 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 [13:24] and only the module_blacklist one works [13:25] Velarde: BluesKaj: thanks for your time [13:31] ld50: thanks for sharing the solution [13:33] Velarde: i'd be nowhere without the great people on the internet sharing their knowledge, it's the least i can do :) === peter-bittner1 is now known as peter-bittner [14:20] i'm getting this error in the debug log of ZNC [14:20] ssl3_get_record:wrong version number [14:20] what does this mean?

[18:30] Elliot_Alderson: I've seen this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1879234 [18:30] Launchpad bug 1879234 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Clicking Activities does nothing - screen appears to freeze" [Undecided,Incomplete] [18:30] sruli: I don't understand the question then, sorry [18:31] @sarnold thank you [18:32] 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/ [18:33] : how do I file a bug report ? [18:34] 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 [18:35] 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 [18:36] any I might want to use it Hulu [18:36] sruli: it looks like the preinst script will prompt the user in some fashion http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/x7MjWnrTwM/ [18:38] sarnold: what calls this script? apt? [18:39] sruli: yes [18:39] sruli: that's run when you run apt install chromium-browser [18:41] 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 :-( [18:42] Haha sruli its not cheating [18:43] 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] sruli: if you don't want snapd, just purge it, and it's gone [18:44] sarnold: i understand apt has been re-written and it cant really be removed, am i wrong? [18:45] sruli: apt? [18:45] 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. [18:49] sarnold: you could uninstall apt at some point? I never knew that. [18:50] sarnold: you are saying if i purge snap apt wont install snap chromium? whats to stop it from installing snap? [18:50] tarelerulz: i use 3 different distros for my servers and regular ubuntu for my desktop.. dont like to change desktop [18:50] kyle__: hopefully we have something in place to discourage uninstalling apt, just as we have something to discourage people from uninstalling sudo [18:51] whoever said anything about uninstalling apt? [18:51] 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] sarnold: Should I move to wayland to prevent the freezing? [18:51] Thu 18 18:49:26 < kyle__> sarnold: you could uninstall apt at some point? I never knew that. [18:51] Elliot_Alderson: I have no idea, sorry, I just know about the bug [18:51] Elliot_Alderson: I never see freezing in my system, on X11, but I'm running i3wm, not gnome [18:51] ooops re-phrase... i meant to write the snap part that has been written into apt cant be removed [18:52] 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 [18:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QDYCKQyqQ8/ [18:53] sarnold: so i need to use trickery.. :-( [18:53] kyle__: the sudo check is in a maintainer script [18:53] 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] kyle__: perhaps apt has one in a maintainer script too [18:53] sruli: meh, I'd just apt purge snapd and leave it at that [18:54] 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. [18:55] 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] Ewww. [18:55] In repo, or out of repo? [18:58] Hey everyone, I spent most of today and yesterday trying to get autoinstall working with subiquity for ubuntu 20.04 installs on ppc64le architecture. It appears the configs aren't even being read, despite me putting in the necessary boot parameters. Has anyone gotten an automated install to work? [18:59] kyle__: it looks like it's out of tree https://www.guitar-pro.com/en/index.php [19:00] sencha_green: you'll probably find more folks in #ubuntu-server [19:00] sencha_green: I never tried the automated installs on my ppc64el :( sorry [19:01] sarnold: Ah. Okay I'll ask the folks over at #ubuntu-server [19:03] Is autoinstall what's replaced debian-preseed? Also yes, ubuntu-server is going to be more for that :) [19:05] 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 [19:06] kyle__: oh yeah, the gross bug.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/1579584 [19:06] Launchpad bug 1579584 in sudo (Ubuntu) "installing guitarpro6 creates a situation where sudo:i386 is scheduled for install" [High,Confirmed] [19:10] I need to try it out then. I used preseed a lot, and I won't miss it, but I should at least know how to use the replacement. [19:42] What's the current status of using HDMI from a USB-C hub in Ubuntu? Does it work well? Any hubs I should get? [19:45] (This is for a Dell Developer Edition laptop an Ubuntu-using non-tinkerer friend got.) [19:57] ffs: the general idea of doing video via usb-c things works fine but getting the *details* right can take some real effort. I wound up buying three different docks for my laptop before getting one that could do 4K at 60Hz and remain reliable === pareidolie is now known as beaver [19:58] ffs: this blog post describes some of the issues (but doesn't discuss linux at all) https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors/ [19:58] I don't think anything above 1080p is necessary at the moment. [19:59] Would a cheapo hub work? [20:01] I saw something about this crashing the networking stack for one user. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z7H3GJK . If there are no plans for plugging in ethernet, it should be fine, right? [20:06] wow that's cheap :) just be 100% sure you're okay with "resolutions up to 4K@30Hz" [20:06] well, at $30 maybe it doesn't matter if you wind up replacing it in a few years when you want something more :) hehe [20:35] Hi everyone, for some reason unattended-upgrade is not updating my package list, though if update manually, it installs packages for me. Any idea what's going on? I think I have the right option set to enable updating the package list: APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1" [20:57] Hi everyone [20:58] I dont want to post stuff that does not belong here, so I want to ask... is there a channel where I can get support for Popos? [20:58] Pop_os === rainbow2 is now known as Odivisa === Odivisa is now known as dzogchen [21:09] Is anyone here using Pithos/Pandora? Was fine in earlier versions but stations tab will not open in 20.04. https://imgur.com/a/ztRUMDc [21:12] hey - when a program crashes with "Aborted (core dumped)" - where is the coredump file? [21:33] Is there anyone around that would be able to help me troubleshooting a wireless issue? [21:33] Im running ubuntu 20.04. Is it running Wayland per default? [21:34] Squarism: no [21:34] Jfalken: what kind of issue? [21:34] wasnt wayland supposed to replace x11? [21:35] jeremy31, I'm having some problems with my wireless AC 9560 card and xubuntu 20.04. I posted a thread on the forums but haven't gotten any traction. My wifi speeds are really slow and frequently drops completely. I've posted the results of the wireless script here: https://pastebin.com/QnYsQVFN. [21:35] wayland session is installed, standard, logout, switch, login [21:35] Squarism: I think it was default in just one short term Ubuntu release [21:36] So wayland is out of the picture or still the goal? [21:37] Jfalken: in terminal do> sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf [21:37] Jfalken: reboot and see if it is better [21:38] Squarism, no, when nvidia is ready with open drivers, things will go fast. [21:38] Giving it a try now [21:41] Squarism canonical is just very careful with LTS releases, that's why 20.04 is still on xorg, but the goal is wayland === dominic35 is now known as dominic34 [21:44] jeremy31, no luck. It's still so slow that speedtest.net isn't even loading lol [21:45] oerheks, quadrathoch2 : Thanks for the info. Appreciated! [21:46] Jfalken: try> echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwl-opt.conf [21:47] Jfalken: See if going into Network Manager and editing the connection IPv6 setting to disable/ignore helps [21:47] jeremy31, sure, let me try the latter first.. I'm on a different device now [21:51] people is there an ubuntu version with python 3.7 instead of the latest 3.8? i have a python library that only works with 3.7 and it is central to my work do i need to downgrade [21:53] jeremy31, Setting ipv6 to ignore didn't seem to have any effect. Even just pinging Google I'm dropping a significant amount of packets :( [21:54] Jfalken: maybe try> rfkill block bluetooth [21:56] jeremy31, no dice [21:59] Jfalken: reboot the router, there is some strange stuff going on about power settings [22:00] jeremy31, I've tried that already.. Also, no issue with any of the other devices on my network [22:01] <_fritchie> looks like the nvme-cli package with 20.04 wasn't built against uuid-dev which prevents the command "nvme gen-hostnqn" from working [22:01] Jfalken: maybe try the backport-iwlwifi-dkms from the driver manager [22:02] Jfalken: and> sudo iw reg set US [22:05] jeremy31, that iw command didn't seem to make any difference. How do I "backport-iwlwifi-dkms from the driver manager" ? [22:06] Jfalken: you can actually install in terminal> sudo apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms [22:06] Oh, ok.. giving that a try now [22:07] Jfalken: reboot after, if it gets worse, reboot after> sudo apt remove backport-iwlwifi-dkms [22:09] jeremy31, it says the module has been obsoleted due to being included in the 5.4.0 kernel [22:09] FWIW, I also tried a 5.6 kernel as well [22:10] Jfalken: Might need to file a bug report [22:12] jeremy31, was afraid of that :( [22:12] Thanks for the suggestions [22:13] Jfalken: unless there are updates for the router [22:13] I'll check, but like I said, all the other devices in my house are all good [22:17] Anyone know if theres any pc hardware centred channel on here? [22:17] (think gaming pc's) [22:19] Jfalken: there is a newer version if you> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-hwe-team/backport-iwlwifi [22:19] Jfalken: then> sudo apt update && sudo apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms [22:22] jeremy31, says I'm already at the latest version [22:23] (8324-0ubuntu3~20.04.1) [22:27] Jfalken: try the latest from Intel> https://askubuntu.com/a/1046682/300665 [22:29] Anyone know if these are "normal" temps for a Ryzen 5 3600 at low surfing/chatting [22:29] https://imgur.com/a/Ul0BVqR [22:30] Squarism really depends on your cooling system [22:31]
