[00:50] on gnome there is a mouse slider option for mouse speed. I have that maxxed out but it still isnt fast enough. There must be some way to further increase it, its speed is slower than on windows? [00:51] some mice have different 'dpi' settings and fiddling with that can drastically change the mouse speed [00:52] ubuntu 20.04 mine is right in settings [00:52] my anker has a little button on the top that cycles through a few dpi settings and fiddling with it makes it go faster or slower [00:52] some other mice may put those settings in their windows drivers and there may or may not be a way to change those settings from linux [00:53] SynfulAck: you don't have a mouse&touchpad option in settings? [00:54] SynfulAck: or am i misunderstanding that you have the slider up and you need more? What mouse are you on? Much like sarnold my mouse has a "precision" but i occasionally hit by accident [00:54] this webpage has a lot of information on some specific models of mice but makes no effort to describe them all. but maybe it'll help you find something? http://cryto.net/~joepie91/areson/ [01:14] 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" [01:14] glue11 it would help if you could post more than just that one line (as in the whole conf file probably) [01:14] using paste.ubuntu.com [01:15] sure === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [01:16] quadrathoch2: I pasted it here https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pCT2qs4Djy/ [01:17] glue11 could you also post the 50unattended-upgrades? [01:18] quadrathoch2: here's that file: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/r34T72QCSb/ [01:21] glue11 what does the /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log file say? [01:23] glue11: There too is: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html . [01:24] quadrathoch2: these are the entries from the run today https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/26X3g2WcQC/ [01:26] Bashing-om: how does it work? Because when I run apt update the packages appear and install on the next scheduled run. otherwise i've never seen anything install === zbenjamin is now known as Guest34543 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:29] glue11 since when did you have that issue? [01:30] grep "Packages that will be upgraded:" /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log [01:30] really nothing? [01:30] Probably a few weeks. I've never got it working on this machine [01:30] so very strange [01:31] yeah [01:31] glue11: If you run the update/upgrade from terminal - there is completion ? [01:31] yup [01:31] if I update, the security updates will install the next day [01:32] glue11 anything on 'sudo unattended-upgrade -d'? [01:32] If I upgrade, they install fine [01:32] Let me run it now [01:32] glue11: Apt in terminal takes prcedence over unattended-upgrade. Else phased updates are in effect. [01:32] I'm not surprised nothing happened today, this was the last security update https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/focal-changes/2020-June/019013.html [01:33] Does unattended-upgrade rely on my local package list? [01:35] I mean I can sit tight and wait but I've literally never seen it install anything unless I manually ran apt update [01:36] And the logs say nothing about retrieving a new package list [01:36] glue, well you shouldn't see too much, as you only have security updates active. and unattended upgrade does take your sources.list and sources.list.d/ files [01:36] glue11 that should be under another log file in the same folder (can't remember the name) [01:40] Is it unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log? If so the last timestamp is on June 16 and I probably ran apt update that day [01:41] glue11: /var/log/dpkg.log . [01:42] Same thing there. Nothing after June 16th [01:45] glue11: hah, thanks for raising this; I forgot I turned off unattended-upgrades on my laptop during the focal devel cycle [01:45] glue11: maybe try sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades -- if it says it's already on, maybe turn it off, then run it again and turn it on again? [01:47] sarnold: OK, I'll try it. Is there a way to test it after without waiting? [01:49] glue11: nothing easy -- we're not going to publish a security update until monday, so you may not know until tuesday if this worked or not.. [01:49] the command I gave you should give you the output glue11. hm on my pi, it is working (but I also update the 'normal' updates, not only security [01:49] glue11: (well, I guess there's always a chance that there's a catastrophic problem that requires a weekend update, but those are very very rare) [01:49] if you take the normal updates too, that might happen faster [01:49] I can try enabling normal updates [01:50] you could also downgrade a package, but I don't like that idea very much.. [01:51] What line do I change/add to get normal updates? [01:52] i have an old 16.04 install that's throwing "Releases file not found".. errors during apt upgrade. [01:53] djustice: what mirror did you configure? does it still have 16.04? [01:54] glue11 // "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates"; (remove the slashes) [01:56] help, i cant move my mouse to the top of my screen or els it teleports tot he corner [01:56] OK so I did that. Ran sudo unattended-upgrade -d and it updated 1 package. Then I ran sudo apt update, and it says I have 28 new packages. [01:57] Is that normal? [01:57] Seems like no [02:00] really weird :/ [02:00] glue11: Providing your mirror is up2date: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/focal-changes/2020-June/date.html. [02:16] Bashing-om: so is something wrong with my mirror? [02:18] glue11: Doubtfull there is anything "wrong" takes time for some mirrors to sync up with mother. See: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors . [02:19] but some mirrors are worse than others :) [02:19] still, *eventually* you ought to get updates .. [02:22] my sources.list has archive.ubuntu.com [02:23] I don't see that listed in the website from Bashing-om [02:23] heh, that's the master, that's the one that the others are cloning [02:28] so i'm screwed? [02:29] glue11: I have yet to see there is a problm :( [02:31] Bashing-om: if I run sudo unattended-upgrade -d and then immediately after sudo apt update, is it normal to get new packages available for install? [02:31] sarnold: yes, and us.archive.ubuntu [02:34] hello all. could anyone help me with displaying full path on nautilus/files [02:34] glue11: "unattended-upgrade" is phased updates where only a certain percentage of what is available is released to a certain pertentage of the user base, Whereas apt is just "do it, please". [02:34] djustice: pastebin your apt update output? [02:44] pastebin.com/0fY8CpQg [02:45] sarnold: ^ [02:46] djustice: aha! there's the problem. it isn't an 18.04 system; it's a 19.04 system. you haven't been getting any updates of any sort for five months: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2020-January/000253.html [02:47] djustice: run sudo do-release-upgrade twice [02:49] !disco | djustice [02:49] djustice: Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) was the 30th release of Ubuntu, support ended January 2020. see !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-January/005263.html === feodoran_ is now known as feodoran [02:54] sarnold: thanks much. it's been awhile since i ubuntu'd. [02:55] djustice: hehe, yeah, at least fivemonths is my guess :) === dominic35 is now known as dominic34 [03:15] avenger, Its a logitech g502 mouse. The slider is maxed already. [03:19] the 502 has dpi buttons. have you messed with them? [03:21] you need to use windows or osx apparently to set the settings/profiles in the mouse and then they're stored in the mouse itself, and you can use the functions in linux [03:21] allegedly. [03:21] this may have support for that mouse if the dpi buttons don't go https://github.com/libratbag/libratbag/ [03:21] allegedly [03:22] for me, allegedly is short for "I googled this" ;) [03:22] aww. here I thought it was a letterkenny reference. [03:24] sadly i need to watch it. i have failed you [03:24] pitter patter [03:44] avenger, sarnold any idea if i can use gnome boxes to create a windows vm and pass through the mouse to configure? [03:44] SynfulAck it should, if not you can also use virt-manager [03:44] SynfulAck: I'd try the things that are packaged in the archive first, that's probably faster than installing a windows [03:44] sarnold, what archive? [03:45] SynfulAck: the ubuntu archive [03:45] it'll probably take ten to twenty seconds to install and start piper and see if it works.. [03:46] how long will it take to download a windows iso? :) [03:46] whats piper? [03:46] the gui front end to the ratbag tool I mentioned [03:46] s/the/a/g [03:47] sarnold, I havent even begun to look at that. Im just checking to c if i can load a default profile cause everything on the mouse is customized and dpi switching is disabled. [03:48] I just installed and ran it and found it couldn't touch my mouse.. [03:48] not bad for ~one minute of effort [03:52] sarnold, idk how that software works but looking at https://github.com/libratbag/libratbag/tree/master/data/devices lists some of the g502 models so id assume it would work. Also im unsure if this will conflict with another piece of software I am running which allows me to change the scroll speed because that too was pathetic on gnome. :( . imwheel . It seems to disable mouse keys unless configured in some file. So much work for just two [03:52] things lol.... [03:56] SynfulAck: heh, good question; it's been ~20 years since I've used imwheel, I don't remember much about it === dominic35 is now known as dominic34 [04:07] Hey y'all. I'm trying to identify the cryptography in a file, takes the format of a 256 bit hexadecimal string with a dash after. I know i've seen it before in a ubuntu/linux installation before but where exactly escapes me, any ideas? [04:08] $ echo hi | sha256sum [04:08] 98ea6e4f216f2fb4b69fff9b3a44842c38686ca685f3f55dc48c5d3fb1107be4 - [04:08] like that? [04:08] Exactly like that [04:08] That would explain where I've seen it then [04:09] big confirmation on my SHA256 hunch! Thanks :D [04:11] you're welcome :) [04:11] do note that this file format is pretty well established with md5sum, sha1sum, sha256sum, etc, so it could also be another hash of the same length output [04:12] I don't know of any others but if you're doing a CTF this feels like the sort of thing they might be a smartass about and use blake2* or skein or something, you know? :) [04:14] Yeah it's a CTF [04:14] nice nice [04:14] Good call, thanks for the heads up [04:15] sometimes there's folks in ##crypto who are up for helping on CTFs; it's time for me to make some dinner and stop staring at the computer [04:15] have fun :) [04:15] Thanks! enjoy your dinner :) [04:15] :D [04:38] sarnold, didnt even know about the piper frontend. I thought for a second I had to use this api and write something. I didnt try using piper without the library but so far the piper thing seems to be working despite weird bugs like having to apply several times to get things working. [04:38] Also, i find it hard to believe but my dpi is at 12,000 right now sooo dunno if i believe that or that the gnome mouse settings are so bad thats what it takes. Thats also the max dpi i can go with piper. [04:56] sarnold, thx though, i am 1 step closer. [06:09] hi [06:09] is it possible to install ubuntu desktop 20.04 on a software raid [06:09] Is there an alternative installer [08:04] How to mount a usb stick if I plug it into the ubuntu server? [08:07] It didn't show up in fdisk -l neither [08:13] nevermind I can see it now but why the size is 900GB? [08:13] https://pastebin.com/45c0bgXT [08:15] can I just do `sudo apt remove $(apt-forktracer)`? [08:16] ehm I mean `sudo apt remove $(apt-forktracer | awk '{print $1}')`? [08:16] or is that a bad idea [08:18] apt-forktracer shows 182 packages after upgrading to ubuntu 20.04. i think last night I close the terminal without letting apt full-upgrade finish. i think it was around 90% [08:19] but this morning I run autoremove, --fixbroken and full-upgrade again. i think all packages upgraded but i want to get rid of apt-forktracer packages [09:41] Hi I am on an Ubuntu-Mate, which port do I need to open to allow the weather applet in the task bar to retrieve the weather data from weather.com? [09:44] I think weather.com can give you the answer to that. [09:45] If you don't know the port number, then try also asking them. [09:45] Shillos: already tried but they asked me to sign up to get even to the documentation of their api :/ [09:48] So if it must be the only way. I would do that. Most of the time most apps give you the opportunity to use their api. Maybe there are some things that they explain more in their documentation. [09:50] I made a weather app once with them for e107 cms and it needed the api took me sometime but it worked. [10:22] Hello bigtimers. === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [11:29] running ubuntu 20... i have a .desktop file and i have selected "allow execute file as program" but it doesnt work, still always open in text editor [11:34] uh [11:34] why dont you edit it in a terminal [11:35] pinheadmz1: what desktop are you using? [11:35] you'd have better luck asking in the DE irc [11:35] if youre using xfce i could probably help tho :P [11:36] gnome i think [11:36] just vanilla ubuntu [11:36] Linux pintu 5.4.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 18:57:02 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [11:36] hmmm [11:37] well [11:37] i dont think update-alternatives would fix it [11:37] and i dont know if gnome has a way to edit mime types [11:38] oh i see [11:38] i read that wrong pinheadmz1 [11:38] the file is start-tor-browser.desktop and i *can* execute it from termiinsl [11:38] you must've marked them to always open with a text editor [11:38] s/terminal [11:38] oh ok [11:39] hm how to undo? [11:39] sudo apt-get install --reinstall shared-mime-info [11:39] probably [11:41] pinheadmz1: any luck? [11:41] dang realy? [11:42] not just a property on the singke file [11:42] it should reset your mimetype settings [11:42] ill try [11:42] ty one sec [11:42] well you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure shared-mime-info but i'd think it would do the same, really :P [11:45] hm yeah no luck weird [11:45] even if i set default "open with" to "run software" [11:46] seriously? [11:47] what happens if you chmod +x it and run it in a terminal? [11:47] it works fine if i execute form terminal [11:47] just not GUI double clicky [11:47] now this certain desktop file.. the Exec= line is correct right? [11:47] and does it work if you execute it from the application launcher?

[11:49] double check your gnome-files preferences first [11:49] since it launches in a terminal and not in gnome, that could totally be the problem pinheadmz1 [11:50] tha was it thank you!!!! [11:50] aw yay [11:50] <3 [11:50] yeah preferences in file manager [11:50] no problem homie [11:51] yea i figured it was something simple [11:53] pinheadmz1: feel free to hit me up if you have any other problems [11:53] im not a gnome user but i'll do my best to help if i can [11:55] well i do have a complicated DNS issue [11:56] basically i have a DNS resolver that i run on an IP [11:56] but when i set DNS to that IP in the GUI settings, it jsut doesnt work [11:56] and itll work if i manually edit /etc/resolv.conf [11:56] but in this version of ubuntu that file gets overwritten on boot :-/ [11:59] pinheadmz1, dns should be set in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf [12:20] BluesKaj: so when i restart resolved or logout/in /etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten with 127.0.0.53 [12:20] it ignores the settings in /etc/systemd/resolv.conf [12:20] and the wifi settings in the GUI ar elike, i dunno what the deal is with that [12:20] at this point i think im going to just disable "NetworkManager" or whatver the 127.0.0.53 proxy is [12:20] i was just hoping the GUI settings would just work [12:21] NM config is probly over writing [12:23] going for this approach https://askubuntu.com/questions/1091653/how-do-i-disable-network-manager-permanently [12:24] death by fire, network manager!

[14:18] when i trythis: tap,vlan=0,script=/kvm/ no vlan exist in new version [14:18] that is somewhat tedious in the old gnome version you have [14:19] just install directly from extensions.gnome.org instead? [14:23] MrElendig : not working "Although GNOME Shell integration extension is running, native host connector is not detected. Refer documentation for instructions about installing connector." [14:24] depending on the browser you have to install the browser extension for it [14:24] it even has a link to it [14:25] er misread, you need the client package too for it [14:26] MrElendig : using chromium , maybe i try on firefox , "sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell" doesn't work [14:27] error being? [14:27] MrElendig : same with firefox "Unable to locate GNOME Shell settings or version. Make sure it is installed and running."

[14:37] a dec vt220 terminal emulator [14:37] for a minimal iso download size [14:38] younder : runing as vm vbox for testing [14:40] nbusrone, I'm sure it works fine. Do you have set it up to the correct display and what is it communicating to. [14:41] how is pxe different from netboot images [14:41] younder : communicating ? what do you mean ? [14:42] nbusrone, well a terminal needs a screen and a serial source. [14:44] nbusrone, Don't worry, I am used to stabbing in the bind at a problem i only half comprehend at a person I don't know. [14:45] younder : sorry , I am new learning on ubuntu so , i may not able to understand how it works [14:45] younder: nbusrone hi [14:47] doomlist3, You a guinea or something ;) [14:48] doomlist3 with an netboot image, you need to 'burn' it to an usb stick, go to the pc and boot from it. with a pxe boot, you just tell the pc where to find the image [14:48] nbusrone, Ok knowing you are a newbie helps. [14:49] younder : I did find the icon and drag into the top panel "gnome-screenshot --interactive" now I just want to click and auto save without asking for whole desktop. [14:51] MonkeyDust: ; ) [14:51] hi lotuspsychje [14:53] nbusrone, like this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1074289/ubuntu-18-04-shiftprintscreen-doesnt-offer-a-save-window-after-a-recent-upd? [14:59] doomlist3: pxe is a protocol which most mainboard (BIOS/UEFI) and network interface firmwares understand, allowing them to load and run a boot loader over a network connection. [15:00] tomreyn: do i have pxe support , which cmd to check if so [15:00] i.e. you don't need to prepare / attach storage to the computer to be booted this way. [15:00] doomlist3: check your mainboard manual [15:00] no mnaual sorry , linux cmd [15:01] doomlist3: what are you trying to do? [15:01] if there is no "storage" then after install how will the os boot? [15:01] clearly OS without storage is absurd [15:02] i don't know what you mean [15:02] os needs storage to isntall itself somewhere [15:02] as the root system has to exist somewhere [15:02] you can have a system always boot from the network via pxe, and have persistent storage attached via network mounts [15:02] does the OS exist in the cloud? [15:02] if there is no storage then where is the os stored? [15:03] on some other computer, usually one in the same LAN [15:03] ok so it's the user's pc [15:03] younder : where can I report bug on application ? gnome-season-flashback ? [15:05] !bug | nbusrone [15:05] nbusrone: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [15:05] doomlist3: another (probably the most common) use case for pxe is to just boot OS installers from the network via PXE *once* so as to install an OS on their (locally attached) persistent storage without needing to walk to all of these computers and attach bootable media. [15:06] doomlist3: so, knowing this, do you have an ubuntu question? [15:06] nbusrone, ubuntu-bug [15:06] nbusrone: before filing bugs, adviced to ask here first, maybe volunteers know a relevant bug or solution [15:09] lotuspsychje, and here he is :) [15:10] younder: i mean ask/re-ask [16:12] I am trying to add a new column to a dataframe using:weekend = (pd.Series(testdf.index.weekday) // 5 == 1).astype(int) [16:12] testdf = testdf.assign("weekend flag"= weekend.values) [16:12] but it says SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression [16:16] lesshaste: this doesn't seem to be an ubuntu support topic?

To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins [16:53] lotuspsychje : did that [16:54] lotuspsychje : at Unity it works well but not in gnome flashback metacity [16:55] you might need to logout/login to let those changes take effect? [16:55] nbusrone: are you saying dconf does not influence/changes it? [16:57] lotuspsychje : yep , for the full indicator .dconf only change the clock but not the indicator applet complete [16:58] nbusrone: is this the default clock from flashback, or a gnome extension? [16:59] lotuspsychje : default clock [16:59] ok [17:01] lotuspsychje : not that important but somehow I think if It can fix it easily. I encounter different cases where gnome flashback cannot right click and arrange icon + new document and etc Maybe 20.04 is still new https://www.pc-freak.net/blog/linux-gnome-flashback-missing-desktop-icons-howto-fix/ [17:07] tomreyn, wrong window, apologies [17:07] nbusrone: lemme go test that holdon [17:10] lotuspsychje : they fix the icon display and right click on 18.04 but not on 20.04 while the indicator clock applet complete is fine on 20.04 but not at 18.04. :( [17:12] nbusrone: installed flashback and i see only time [17:12] lotuspsychje : though it some major problem on 18.04 but on 20.04 right click no document able to create and arrange.I will wait for the updates.Revert back to gnome unity. [17:12] nbusrone: date tweak is enabled in dconf but it doesnt add it [17:13] you might need to logout/login to let those dconf changes take effect? [17:13] oerheks : did that too [17:14] think flashback uses its own stuff [17:14] i did not know gnome flashback was still an option [17:14] lotuspsychje : try adding clock on 18.04 , it does show full date [17:14] cause clicking the time, opens a time/date window [17:14] gnome2 limitations.. i wonder if that ever will be 'fixed' [17:14] oerheks : I prefer older customize Ubuntu interface :) [17:15] nbusrone: try it perhaps with installing unity desktop on ? [17:15] 20.04 [17:16] oerheks : though it's not something important that interferes with current works. [17:17] lotuspsychje : 20.04 clock works , but right click no document , not able to create and arrange icon.If you test it again. [17:17] nbusrone: 20.04 has desktop icons disabled by default [17:17] thats a feature now [17:18] nbusrone: again with dconf-editor, enable show desktop icons [17:21] lotuspsychje : 20.04 did show the icon but on right click , you cannot arrange the icon, it set to auto and new document doesn't work even i add https://vitux.com/add-new-document-back-to-the-right-click-menu-in-ubuntu-18-04/ [17:24] how do I opne a .rar file? [17:25] lotuspsychje : on desktop interface. new document not working but at nautilus filer manager works.I will wait for flashback to fix since 20.04 is new just release last month. [17:41] hi there, jenkins:x:996:994:Jenkins Automation Server:/var/lib/jenkins:/bin/false [17:41] i have this user [17:41] and he doesnt have login [17:41] how can i generate the ssh keys [18:00] on ubuntu 20.04lts, when i try fractional scaling - the screen goes dark - anyone knows how to debug this? I've an nvidia card (driver 440) [18:04] littlepython: he doesnt have a shell selected currently, it's set to /bin/false [18:07] littlepython: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys-on-ubuntu-1604 [18:08] sure thanks EriC^^ [18:09] no problem littlepython [18:11] EriC^^ one more question [18:11] error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied [18:12] littlepython: what command are you running that's giving that? [18:13] i am trying to run this [18:13] https://dpaste.org/9ZMu# [18:14] it runs as a jenkins user [18:14] littlepython: what is the output of "stat .git/FETCH_HEAD && id" [18:14] also i have added the jenkins user to the root group [18:15] littlepython: that seems like a bad idea, why not give him privileges based on what he needs only [18:15] via sudo or so [18:15] "stat: cannot stat ‘.git/FETCH_HEAD’: No such file or directory" [18:15] i dont find a file called FETCH_HEAD [18:17] littlepython: is it the home dir of jenkins? [18:17] no its in /tmp [18:17] oh, so /tmp/.git [18:18] yes i found the directory but i dont see a file called FETCH_HEAD [18:20] EriC^^ I have cleared the directory.. now i get this error [18:21] https://dpaste.org/YzLC [18:23] littlepython: no idea, seems like git didn't create it for some reason [18:23] im using locate (command) to find files, can I use it to list directories? [18:23] littlepython: or maybe you need to create it first, then git can use it [18:23] littlepython: try 'mkdir /tmp/dsag-sap' then try running it again [18:26] frad: doesn't seem like locate supports dirs only === SnakHere is now known as BiafraJello [18:28] i often feel hesitant to install things that aren't offered thru apt (e.g. ledger-live)... is that unfounded? [18:29] dtux, one should be carefull, yes, we have PPA's for private rerpositories.. and now we have snap too [18:29] https://snapcraft.io/ledger-live-desktop [18:30] guys I can't do a sudo apt update. I get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg' [18:30] have fun ( you will get updates with snaps, opposite of installing stuff manual ) [18:30] is this the right place to ask? [18:30] frad: this seems like a quick workaround "sudo strings /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db | grep -E '^/.*dirname'" [18:31] oerheks: ah, nice! ty... what is the primary concern with manual? compatibility? security? [18:31] filifunky, what did you change in your install, python? [18:31] dtux, check of the source/maintainer, and most important to me, updates [18:31] oerheks, yeah I've been trying to do some things with python...kind of a long story but I suspect my python situation is messed up [18:32]
