[00:26] <delvian> Hi All.  Where can I find an alternative to gnome-clocks?  It's waaay too much effort and time to get it to work on 20.04
[00:26] <delvian> I need something with a world clock and alarms.
[00:29] <tatertots> delvian: have you ever considered using your iPhone?
[00:30] <WesleyTech> @sarnold AMI
[00:30] <WesleyTech> @sarnold AMI's are region specific, you have to search us-west-2 to find this one.
[00:30] <delvian> tatertots: I have it on my phone, but I'd like it on my PC too :)
[00:32] <delvian> It doesn't seem like a complicated app, I'd expect many alternatives but I can't seem to find any in the repos.
[00:34] <delvian> First, the alarms and timer wasn't making a sound.  I eventually got that to work, but now it won't even open at all.
[00:34] <delvian> The GNOME devs just blame the Ubuntu devs for packaging it incorrectly :(
[00:34] <sarnold> WesleyTech: I still don't spot the dotnetcore or ami numbers in the ubuntu ec2 ami locator
[00:35] <WesleyTech> Upon further inspection, this AMI might be owned by Amazon, not Canonical...
[00:36] <WesleyTech> sigh
[00:36] <sarnold> d'oh

[00:57] <neildugan> I have just install ubuntu-mate on a VM, done a 'apt dist-upgrade' and when I go to install a printer driver, I get the error "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." ... can anyone help here.
[00:58] <sarnold> try sudo apt update && sudo apt install -f
[01:00] <neildugan> sarnold, that didn't fix the problem... yesterday I successfully installed the same package on a different VM
[01:01] <neildugan> sarnold, the dependacy is "lsb:amd64 (>= 3.2) but it is not installable"
[01:01] <sarnold> neildugan: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:01] <oerheks> after dist-upgrade, vm rebooted?
[01:02] <neildugan> oerheks, hang on a sec
[01:04] <neildugan> sarnold, oerheks, a reboot didn't fix the problem
[01:05] <sarnold> neildugan: alright, can you pastebin the output of your attempt?
[01:05] <neildugan> sarnold, the 'apt install'
[01:06] <linelevel> Hi everyone. After upgrading my server to 20.04, every time I log in I see "403 packages can be updated." -- But then when I run `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`, I see that "All packages are up to date." (or if there are some updates, I see those). But when I log in, it always says 403 packages to update. Any ideas?
[01:06] <linelevel> Where is that 403 number coming from? Is there a different sources.list that it's using, perhaps?
[01:07] <bparker> try sudo apt dist-upgrade
[01:07] <oerheks> linelevel, tun apt dist-upgrade, it brings in kernel and stuff
[01:07] <oerheks> !distupgrade
[01:07] <linelevel> @bparker @oerheks Running `sudo apt dist-upgrade` says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
[01:08] <oerheks> and requires a reboot, see if /var/run/reboot-required exists
[01:08] <linelevel> I've restarted the server several times since this problem appeared.
[01:08] <neildugan> sarnold, oerheks, the full output of the install is @ https://pastebin.com/Ue2v5FxK
[01:08] <oerheks> hmm so your login/motd gives wrong info?
[01:09] <linelevel> oerheks: Yes, it seems as such.
[01:10] <neildugan> sarnold, oerheks, should I just kill the VM and redo?
[01:10] <sarnold> neildugan: how about suto apt install lsb?
[01:11] <sarnold> neildugan: hmm... actually, are you sure you made it amd64? check uname -a output
[01:13] <neildugan> sarnold, "# uname -a" = "Linux julieVM 5.3.0-59-generic #53~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 4 14:55:07 UTC 2020 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux"
[01:13] <oerheks> ah 32 bit
[01:13] <sarnold> neildugan: there we go :)
[01:14] <oerheks> find the i386 version
[01:14] <sarnold> or reinstall amd64
[01:14] <oerheks> that wuld be preferable, sarnold +1
[01:15] <sarnold> I'm a bit worried with that .deb filename that this package hasn't been updated in nine years
[01:15] <linelevel> oerheks: Any idea what could cause that? Or how I should go about troubleshooting further?
[01:16] <neildugan> sarnold, what value indicates i386?
[01:16] <sarnold> lsb > 3.2 suggests the same thing, as lsb was 4.0 in 12.04 days...
[01:16] <sarnold> "i686 i686 i686"
[01:19] <nugroho> Qemu 0.8.0 -=- Qemu 0.10.0 -=- Qemu 0.12.0 -=- Qemu 0.14.0 -=- Qemu 1.2
[01:19] <neildugan> ok so why does the host which reports "x86_64" create a "i686" VM by default?  is this a problem?
[01:19] <sarnold> nugroho: so, uh, what's the point of all this?
[01:20] <sarnold> neildugan: how did you create it?
[01:21] <neildugan> sarnold, hang on a couple of minutes while a create a new one, with slightly different setup.
[01:23] <neildugan> sarnold, found the problem ... wrong iso image!
[01:24] <sarnold> neildugan: aha, good, then working as intended :)
[01:24] <oerheks> :-)
[01:25] <neildugan> sarnold, need to download the correct image.   Are you going to be arround for a while?
[01:25] <sarnold> neildugan: probably another twenty-ish minutes
[01:27] <oerheks> linelevel, haven't seen such behaviour before, one could file a bugreport?
[01:29] <delvian> Is this channel only for server support?
[01:32] <oerheks> delvian, no, desktop too
[01:33] <oerheks> there is a dedicated #ubuntu-server though
[01:35] <nugroho> WHA420355-SOC155694-YMH297433-WHA800477-JPL749250-APB800779
[01:36] <neildugan> sarnold, ok, its going to take about an hour for the download, thanks for your help, I should be find now.
[01:36] <sarnold> neildugan: oof :) good luck :)
[01:37] <oerheks> nugroho, looks like a serial number for windows 3.11
[01:38] <delvian> I'm looking for an alternative to gnome-clocks.  The GNOME devs recommend installing the flatpak to get it to work, but that requires a nearly 1GB download of dependencies just to get the 2MB clock to work, which I don't want to do.
[01:42] <R0b0t1> I've got a system where /etc seems readonly
[01:42] <delvian> Somebody suggested that I use the world clock and alarms on my phone, but that isn't the point.
[01:42] <R0b0t1> how do I fix that?
[01:42] <R0b0t1> I had to remount / as rw
[01:43] <CarlFK> nugroho: please stop.
[01:43] <delvian> I use the alarms as a timer while I work, so I'd like it on my workstation.
[01:43] <oerheks> R0b0t1, run a fsck with live iso ?
[01:44] <oerheks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting
[01:48] <rfm> delvian, there's a gnome-clocks package in universe for bionic and focal..
[01:49] <delvian> rfm: The gnome-clocks package doesn't work.  That's why I'm looking for an alternative.
[01:51] <oerheks> gnome-clocks package from where?
[01:51] <oerheks> if this is a gnome plugin, you need to logout/login to let it take effect
[01:51] <oerheks> and gnome-tweak-tool gives to options for those plugins
[01:52] <rfm> delvian, just installed it on Xubuntu 30.04, seems to work for me.  what problem are you having?
[01:52] <delvian> oerheks: The one from focal-updates.
[01:53] <oerheks> oh oke, i am still on 18.04
[01:54] <delvian> rfm: First the alarms and timers weren't sounding.  Then I got that to work, but now it won't launch at all.
[01:54] <rfm> ^30^20, I'm not from the future.
[01:54] <delvian> :)
[01:55] <rud0lf> that's what i call an early access, rfm ;)
[01:56] <delvian> A search on launchpad says that it's a known bug with no fix.  I'm just tired of wasting time on it and I'm trying to find something that works.
[01:56] <delvian> The GNOME devs say that it's they way Canonical compiled it that's causing problems.
[03:35] <nickgaw> Hi, How using the keyboard in the gui do you get to a normal console login prompt not terminal but the normal login prompt?
[03:36] <nickgaw> The reason I am asking is I am totally blind and want to use the speakup screen on the console but still want to use orca in the gui as it is not the best command line screen reader.
[03:37] <nickgaw> Is there a way to do what I want other then shuting down gdm?
[03:51] <dlam> hey with 'mail'  is there a way to list READ messages?  (it seems to default to only unread messages)
[04:08] <pyraindrop> I manage 20+ machines and 5+ users. What is a good way to add/delete users in a centralized fashion on these machines?
[04:24] <dlam> use a configuration management tool?  like saltstack, ansible etc.
[04:25] <oerheks> pen and paper.
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> pyraindrop: cockpit seems to be a nice managing tool for servers too
[04:32] <pyraindrop> lotuspsychje, looking - i also was looking at sssd - freeipa - cfengine - bastallion...
[04:32] <lotuspsychje> !info cockpit
[04:33] <pyraindrop> lotuspsychje, have you used cockpit? Does it allow ssh key rotation?
[04:34] <pyraindrop> oerheks, that is the best - that is what i do - with keys :)
[04:39] <pyraindrop> anyone uses freeipa here?
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> pyraindrop: we dont reall take polls here

[06:16] <rominronin> Hello, good morning.
[06:16] <rominronin> I'm about to go live with a web project, hosted on a client server.
[06:17] <rominronin> the server has Ubuntu 16.04 installed.
[06:17] <rominronin> I want to know if 16.04 is still secure, if there are any updates or patches I should know about.
[06:18] <rominronin> Can anyone help?
[06:20] <oerheks> 16.04 gives 1 year support. i would go 1 lts higher, 18.04 LTS with HWE
[06:20] <oerheks> !hwe
[06:20] <aiena> I am on ubuntu 18.04. I had setup ibus as per some tutorials and am able to switch between languages using super+space. However I am struggling to get native letters. I installed Marathi. WHen I  switch to Marathi I still get English letters. In LO etc.
[06:21] <aiena> I am using the phonetic keyboard.
[06:21] <aiena> Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.
[06:24] <rominronin> Thanks oerheks - is it possible to upgrade and keep all the installed php extensions, or would I need to install those too?
[06:24] <oerheks> depends what extentions, hard to tell.
[06:25] <rominronin> yeah, there's one microsoft extension which I'm almost certain I would need to upgrade: mssql
[06:26] <rominronin> what if I wanted to apply security patches to 16.04, without upgrading yet, to buy time for research
[06:26] <rominronin> I have to go live today and only discovered the version this morning
[06:27] <rominronin> I mean, is there an apt command for that?
[06:34] <rominronin> found it
[06:35] <rominronin> Despite using ubuntu cli for years, this is the first time I've been responsible for upgrading a system!

[08:56] <phobosoph> so after uninstalling e.g. the php7.3 package (upgraded to php7.4), the php7.3 service is listed as "masked"
[08:56] <phobosoph> can I clean it up completely?
[08:56] <phobosoph> or is this intended?

[09:27] <sub526> I messed up my Ubuntu system and now I want to reinstall it. Is it possible to reinstall without external USB disk?
[09:29] <EriC^^> sub526: do you have an iso?
[09:34] <sub526> EriC^^: I want to reinstall it to custom ubuntu image. Custom ubuntu image (16_04_server.img is a x86 boot sector) is available on other machine on network.. Is there a command to deploy the custom image?
[09:36] <EriC^^> sub526: "sudo dd if=16_04_server.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync"  where /dev/sdX is the hdd of the machine you want to install it to (not a partition of the disk)
[09:38] <sub526> EriC^^: how to know the hdd(/dev/sdX) name of my machine?
[09:38] <EriC^^> sub526: usually "sudo parted -ls" shows the disks
[09:39] <EriC^^> sub526: be sure the disk is of the other machine and not the one you're booted on though, or you'll overwrite your good install
[09:39] <k_sze> How do I use `apt` to list all the packages that are installable from a particular repository?
[09:41] <EriC^^> k_sze: maybe "apt list --all-versions" with some parsing after that?
[09:52] <DominikF> Hey everyone, is there an official cloud-image for ubuntu desktop to test things? There seem to be some differences between server and desktop and I would like to test some stuff on both.
[09:54] <phobosoph> DominikF: Hehe, I mean, there is a dedicated page just for that :)  https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/
[09:55] <DominikF> phobosoph: I might be blind, but I only see server images there.
[09:55] <Cymew> Hi. I have tried to preseed a 20.04 install with a openssh-server install as the last stage, but it fails silently. Anyone know why "ubiquity ubiquity/success_command string apt install openssh-server" is the wrong way, and can tell me the correct way?
[10:13] <miguel_clean> I plan to get a wireless headsset that ships with an usb adapter and wonder how to find out if this will work under linux?
[10:23] <MrElendig> google usually helps
[10:23] <MrElendig> or the manual
[10:23] <MrElendig> other than that: buy from a store that allows you to test it
[10:23] <MrElendig> (and return it if it doesn't work)
[10:24] <MrElendig> is this one of those fancy virtual 5.1 headphones?
[10:30] <gfidias> interested in linux, can you recommend a laptop suitable for ubuntu 20.04?
[10:32] <MrElendig> depends on use case and budget
[10:32] <MrElendig> generally speaking: get something with a ryzen 4xxx serie chip
[10:32] <gfidias> assuming budget is no problem?
[10:33] <gfidias> and no gaming
[10:33] <MrElendig> and intel 200ax wifi and no optimus
[10:34] <phobosoph> The latest Windows got a linux kernel <3
[10:34] <MrElendig> some of the announced lenovo ones with ryzen looks interesting
[10:34] <phobosoph> why not use a linux kernel
[10:34] <phobosoph> *on windows
[10:34] <phobosoph> I hope windows offers an uninstaller for the NT kernel
[10:36] <phobosoph> 2020 is crazy enough right? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/wsl/wsl2-index
[10:37] <gfidias> had problems in the past with graphics cards, soundcards. any machines tested with ubuntu 20.04?
[10:37] <phobosoph> oh, and WSL 2 also gets GPU support!!!
[10:38] <PonySoldier> anyone know why I can't get my terminal working properly with tic -x termite.terminfo on ubuntu 20 LTS?

[10:47] <tab000> hello guys , I installed Ubuntu 20 server and chose lvm during the installation, but I don't know why when my disk space is not the same space that is my sda3

[10:52] <neilh90> Hey guys. I am on 20.04 and have an awful lot of screen tearing
[10:52] <neilh90> GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5
[10:55] <MrElendig> tab000: lvdisplay and lsblk -f can be handy
[10:57] <tab000> MrElendig: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Q3thpF3BZc/
[10:58] <MrElendig> you have probably not assigned all the space in the vg to any lv
[10:58] <tab000> MrElendig: what should I do now for that ?
[10:58] <MrElendig> depends on what you want to do with the system
[10:59] <MrElendig> eg make a new lv and assign it to /srv with as much space as you need to serve all your webstuff
[10:59] <MrElendig> if that is what you are going to use the server for
[10:59] <tab000> I need to increase / space
[11:00] <neilh90> Could anyone help me with this screen tearing
[11:00] <tab000> and any time that I want , I can to increase  /  disk space
[11:00] <MrElendig> lvextend -r ....
[11:00] <MrElendig> lvresize*
[11:02] <tab000> first I should make a new logical vol and then resize / ?
[11:04] <MrElendig> if you only want to resize / then you don't need to make a new lv
[11:04] <tab000> MrElendig: lvcreate -n vol_backups -l 100%FREE ubuntu-vg is correct ?
[11:05] <MrElendig> and if you do that, you won't have space to grow /
[11:05] <tab000> MrElendig: I faced "/etc/lvm/archive/.lvm_sentry_75083_370297841: write error failed: No space left on device"
[11:06] <MrElendig> just add 5gb or whatever to your /
[11:07] <tab000> MrElendig: my sda3 is around 500G and I want all of them to lvm
[11:07] <MrElendig> tab000: all of it is assigned to the pv/vg
[11:07] <MrElendig> but the lv mounted as / is just 4gb
[11:08] <MrElendig> you can grow that using lvresize -r ....
[11:08] <tab000> where did I mistake that my space became 4gb ?
[11:09] <tab000> I should install Ubuntu from the beginning ?
[11:12] <EriC^^> tab000: it's a bug, someone else had same issue earlier
[11:12] <EriC^^> tab000: just expand the lvm and underlying fs using the lvresize command
[11:16] <tab000> EriC^^: I used this "lvextend --size +40G /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv" but it says "/etc/lvm/archive/.lvm_sentry_75355_1444222021: write error failed: No space left on device"
[11:17] <sub526> I want to change the hostname my ubuntu machine. Which files need to be modified?
[11:20] <EriC^^> tab000: type "lvdisplay;pvdisplay" and pastebin
[11:21] <EriC^^> tab000: dont use extend, you want to use resize so it does the fs at the same time, otherwise it can get messy
[11:21] <EriC^^> tab000: also you probably want to do this from a live usb, i dont think you can resize the fs with it mounted
[11:21] <tab000> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wTfCRMjhbw/
[11:23] <EriC^^> tab000: ok boot a live usb to do it
[11:24] <tab000> when I was installing I accept this https://imgur.com/H7tUBNd
[11:26] <EriC^^> tab000: ok
[11:29] <EriC^^> tab000: you'll need to run 'lvresize -rl +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv to use the whole space, from a live session
[11:30] <tab000> EriC^^: I am trying to find how to go to live
[11:33] <PonySoldier> why can i not access my ubuntu server after installing some packages?
[11:33] <PonySoldier> i mean i can access it, but when i type something, nothing happens
[11:34] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[11:38] <PonySoldier> figured it out
[11:41] <EriC^^> tab000: do you have the live server iso?
[11:41] <EriC^^> tab000: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1052835/how-to-try-ubuntu-18-04-live-server
[11:42] <tab000> EriC^^: I have this one "ubuntu-20.04-live-server-amd64"
[11:42] <EriC^^> tab000: yes, that's the one, follow the instructions in the link above to get a shell, see if it sees the lv in 'parted -ls'
[11:42] <tab000> I think I have to use desktop image \
[11:44] <EriC^^> tab000: no it should work from live server, but you might need to do "lvchange -ay"   to load the lvs and if that command isnt there you might need to temporarily install lvm2 package
[11:46] <tab000> EriC^^: I follow this "To get to the "live" part of the live server, you have to choose "Install", then press Ctrl+Alt+F2-F6 to get to another TTY, where you will be given a shell.
[11:46] <tab000> "
[11:46] <tab000> but there is no " TTY"
[11:46] <EriC^^> are you doing it in a vm?
[11:46] <tab000> should I use expert mode
[11:46] <tab000> yes esxi
[11:47] <EriC^^> tab000: maybe you need special key for ctrl+alt, in vbox it's "right ctrl" same as pressing those in the guest vm
[11:48] <tab000> EriC^^: https://imgur.com/L4WofTd
[11:49] <EriC^^> tab000: no, first press on "install ubuntu server"
[11:50] <EriC^^> tab000: once it loads the screen for installation press ctrl+alt+f2
[11:53] <shinobi> I removed snaps from my 20.04 install and no longer have ubuntu store. Is there a way to get the store for just debs?
[11:57] <lotuspsychje> shinobi: the store got replaced by the snap-store now
[11:57] <tab000> EriC^^: https://imgur.com/NyebYB7
[11:57] <shinobi> that's too bad. I liked the idea of reviews and such, just not a fan of snap.
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> shinobi: the snap-store holds the packes from apt aswell
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> packages
[11:58] <Cymew> I can't seem to find the log for this channel, so sorry for repeating myself after getting netsplit.
[11:58] <Cymew> Hi. I have tried to preseed a 20.04 install with a openssh-server install as the last stage, but it fails silently. Anyone know why "ubiquity ubiquity/success_command string apt install openssh-server" is the wrong way, and can tell me the correct way?
[12:09] <marslander> hey guys
[12:10] <marslander> i3wm doesn't recognize my PrtSc key
[12:11] <pymagic> anyone using cockpit here? Anything else apart from landscape to manage a 10+ machines / 10+ users?
[12:11] <legreffier> marslander: it doesn't recognize any of those keys unless you specify it so.
[12:11] <marslander> bindsym --release Print  exec --no-startup-id maim ~/Pictures/screenshot.png
[12:11] <marslander> thats the command I have in i3 config
[12:12] <marslander> legreffier: ^
[12:14] <marslander> if I switch 'Print' to 'Pause', the command works with Pause key
[12:14] <Cymew> pymagic: What do you want to do for managing tasks? Patching? Package groups in Landscape is probably the default way, otherwise you probably want to look at ansible.
[12:15] <legreffier> marslander: are you sure the printscreen key actually send that symbol ?
[12:15] <pymagic> Cymew, I just need a few things: Add/delete users. Change sudo. Remove/update ssh keys.
[12:15] <pymagic> Cockpit does not look like the right tool for this
[12:16] <marslander> legreffier: yes because this: https://www.reddit.com/r/i3wm/wiki/faq/screenshot_binding
[12:16] <legreffier> (for example, here, my printscr key will 'X86-RFkill', unless i press Fn too )
[12:16] <marslander> how to I use 'xev' to tell me what my Print screen key is called?
[12:17] <legreffier> marslander: just launch it from a terminal
[12:18] <marslander> legreffier: it says 0xFF61. Print
[12:19] <marslander> but Print isn't working
[12:19] <marslander> what the hell/
[12:19] <marslander> please let me know what I can do to fix it
[12:21] <marslander> I also tried 'buindsym 0xff61 ...'
[12:22] <marslander> I also tried 'bindsym 0xff61 ...'
[12:23] <Velarde> are you talking about print screen?
[12:23] <marslander> yes
[12:24] <marslander> I'm trying to fix that key. The physical key works fine, it's just that it doesn't want to be mapped using i3 config
[12:24] <marslander> it's driving me nuts
[12:25] <marslander> i3 config is supposed to take this 'bindsym Print exec whatever.command.I.want'
[12:27] <Velarde> maybe you can find other ways outside i3 to map the key
[12:27] <Velarde> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_shortcuts#Xorg
[12:28] <marslander> ok I'll try
[12:30] <Cymew> pymagic: Sounds like you should learn some ansible. You can use cockpit for a lot of things, but you will have to click your way through all the machines. You need to use some proper automation.
[12:47] <marslander> I installed xkeycaps and when I press PrtSc, Del key gets highlighted
[12:54] <Velarde> lol
[12:54] <Velarde> maybe you're using a different keymap instead of the US english one?
[13:00] <alwyn> I am trying to upgrade an ubuntu server from 14.04 to 16.04 (yes, I know, please don't mention it), and do-release-upgrade keeps saying "No candidate ver: linux-image-3.16.0-36-generic" and for more versions, however 3.X isn't installed at all...
[13:05] <lotuspsychje> alwyn: upgrade from eol versions is highly discouraged
[13:05] <lotuspsychje> alwyn: unless you are a payed ESM user?
[13:06] <alwyn> lotuspsychje: we are, however I am not sure if we use ESM on these machines specifically
[13:06] <alwyn> lotuspsychje: can you elaborate on highly discouraged? It should still be doable right? I'm not skipping a version or anything
[13:07] <lotuspsychje> alwyn: well alot of security flaws on eol versions see !usn so we advice to upgrade to the next before your system goes eol
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> alwyn: yes its possible to do !eolupgrade but not really reccomended
[13:08] <MrHall> Hi! I have mounted an usb over a folder but cant change user owner of these files, how can i do it? With sudo chmod -R /myMontedFolder i couldnt
[13:08] <alwyn> lotuspsychje: I agree on your point of security, however that's beyond my question
[13:08] <alwyn> !eolupgrade
[13:08] <MrHall> I want to do these because i create a smbd server but i cant add or delete files
[13:08] <MrHall> Just read
[13:12] <AlexMax> I have Firefox set as my default browser, and yet Chrome sees fit to open any HTML files on my disk opened with xdg-open. How do I change this?
[13:19] <leftyfb> AlexMax: https://itsfoss.com/change-default-applications-ubuntu/
[13:21] <Velarde> so you get firefox from running "xdg-settings get default-web-browser"?
[13:22] <AlexMax> leftyfb: The defaults in settings are already set.  The latter settings don't stick - even when I "Open With" and change it to Firefox, it doesn't stick.
[13:22] <leftyfb> Velarde: it's not the default browser setting
[13:23] <AlexMax> The "Open with" setting doesn't stick.  I open with Firefox, but it still shows up as Chrome later.
[13:24] <leftyfb> AlexMax: try editing /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[13:25] <kk4ewt> AlexMax;  of course one way is to remove chrome :)
[13:25] <AlexMax> That's a silly answer, I need both installed. :)
[13:26] <AlexMax> Well, not quite silly, because you are quite correct, but silly on Ubuntu's part because I shouldn't have to remove the browser just to remove it as a default.
[13:26] <Velarde> Does anyone use MS Teams on Ubuntu?
[13:27] <Velarde> It uses so much resources and takes over camera and microphone, is there any way to limit the app?
[13:36] <AlexMax> leftyfb: That was an enlightening thing to look for.  I think I could fix it if I needed to, but I wanted to do a little more research and found out that there is also a mimeapps.list, that is considered the more up to date file to modify.
[13:37] <AlexMax> So yeah, for your edification, there's a ~/.config/mimeapps.list that contains added associations and defaults
[13:38] <AlexMax> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_MIME_Applications
[13:39] <AlexMax> Still, i appreciate your suggestion, because without it would've taken me a fair bit longer to get there

[15:49] <nelgin> Hi all.I'm using the new Ubuntu 20.04 installer and want to setup my boot disk as a raid 1, however after creating the / /home and swap partitions, I'm unable to select the raid as a boot device. I'm open to suggestions.
[15:52] <nelgin> AH, I think I have found a solution.
[15:52] <neilh90> Hey guys, I am getting an awful lot of screen tering on Ubuntu 20.04. Can anyone help me? GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5
[15:55] <rjb> neilh90: same here but with nvidia. i set in nvidia x server settings to "nvidia on-demand" (was nvidia performance mode before). don't know what options you have with ATI. drawback is that 3d apps won't start on my pc with on-demand mode
[15:56] <diddly> hi, father-in-law's desktop just upgraded itself to 20.04, are .desktop files with Type=Link no longer supported?
[16:13] <alwyn> https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#recognized-keys still lists Link at least
[16:19] <Velarde> rjb, I fixed tearing with nvidia a few days ago and it seems to be a permanent solution
[16:19] <Velarde> are you using the official drivers with the nvidia-settings app?
[16:38] <mindbender1> I am having a bad experience at the moment with Ubuntu 20.04 screen lag and cracking issue.

[16:39] <mindbender1> Ubuntu 20.04 running on hp spectre x360 15-bl112dx
[16:39] <Deano59> mindbender1: Nvidia gpu?
[16:40] <mindbender1> Deano59, honestly I believe so
[16:40] <Deano59> Check the release notes for focal
[16:40] <mindbender1> Deano59, https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05787871#AbT1
[16:41] <Deano59> There's a known bug afaik
[16:41] <mindbender1> Deano59, okay let me see
[16:41] <mindbender1> Deano59, is there a workaround for the bug?
[16:51] <rjb> Velarde: yes, i have the official recommended drivers installed using the nvidia-settings app
[16:55] <Velarde> rjb: then performance should yield less artifacts than on-demand
[16:56] <rjb> Velarde: on-demand is almost perfect with v-sync, but performance mode is awfully tearing here

[18:20] <neilh90> Hey guys, I am having terrible screen tearing on ubuntu 20.04. Can anyone help me with it please?  GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5
[18:22] <paperhawk> hey all, pretty new here but i was hoping that someone might be able to help troubleshoot some restart/locking issues that i've seen with a new computer. if this isn't the place to look, could someone point me in the right direction?
[18:23] <three> neilh90 what have you tried doing?
[18:23] <three> paperhawk youre going to need to elaborate on your issue
[18:25] <Deano59> paperhawk: don't ask to ask, shoot your question.
[18:25] <Deano59> Someone might know, or might not.
[18:25] <Deano59> :)
[18:26] <paperhawk> Right, I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and I noticed that my screen suddenly decided to lock and then the screen went black. I couldn't do anything until I held down the power button and restarted. Afterwards, I opened up chrome and started scrolling through syslog. Switching between the two was slow and it looks like it logged me out.
[18:28] <paperhawk> I'm still looking through syslog at the moment but let me know if there's any other information I can provide.
[18:29] <three> which desktop environment and display manager are you using?
[18:30] <paperhawk> I'm using Gnome
[18:30] <paperhawk> Let me see if I can check the display manager.
[18:31] <paperhawk> Looks like gdm3?
[18:32] <paperhawk> Gnome 3.28.2 specifically.
[18:33] <neilh90> three, I'm not too sure what I can do atm
[18:34] <neilh90> I am new to linux. But I did check the additional drivers part of the upgrade tool. But there is only a driver for the network manager
[18:35] <three> the drivers for amd cards are packaged with the linux kernal normally. When does the screen tearring occur
[18:36] <neilh90> If I move windows, if I scroll, say on google chrome
[18:36] <neilh90> and watching videos
[18:36] <three> paperhawk I'm not really sure how to help unless you can provide more info about the situation. Like have you ben able to recreate the problem multiple times to narrow down what could be causing it?
[18:36] <three> what kind of monitor are you using?
[18:37] <three> oh are you on a laptop
[18:37] <neilh90> Yeah a new HP Pavilion
[18:39] <three> neilh90 check out this wiki page. its for arch but it should still be relevant https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
[18:39] <paperhawk> three, I'm not able to recreate the problem since it happens spontaneously for the most part.
[18:41] <three> paperhawk im not really sure then personally. Try googling something like "ubuntu 20.04 randomly logs out"
[18:41] <three> id say google is your best bet
[18:44] <paperhawk> Well, thanks for your help anyway, three.
[18:45] <sarnold> paperhawk: is there anything funny in dmesg? journalctl?
[18:48] <paperhawk> sarnold, I'll take a look.
[18:49] <paperhawk> Initial look at dmesg shows me a bunch of apparmor='DENIED' for discord, but I don't think that would've done something like that.
[18:51] <sarnold> paperhawk: yeah, that's https://github.com/snapcrafters/discord/issues/23
[18:52] <paperhawk> journalctl has "deja-dup-monito[3834]: Source ID 785 was not found when attempting to remove it"  as well as "gsd-sharing[2425]: Failed to StopUnit service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit:"
[18:52] <paperhawk> with various services after it.
[18:52] <sarnold> deja-dup is probably unrelated, gnome or gtk stuff spews those all the time
[18:52] <sarnold> gsd-sharing, I'm not sure, that one might be related
[18:53] <paperhawk> I took a look in /var/crash and did see some python trace from dell-linux assistant
[19:03] <paperhawk> Not the most helpful error message but I found this "gnome-session-binary[2277]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop" and "gnome-session-binary[2277]: WARNING: App 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' respawning too quickly"
[19:04] <paperhawk> sarnold, I'll try to trace the PID now through the log and see what I find.
[19:05] <sarnold> paperhawk: do you have any gnome extensions enabled?
[19:05] <sarnold> paperhawk: gnome extensions are apparently pretty flaky and can cause crashes when the slightest things go wrong
[19:05] <paperhawk> I do.
[19:05] <paperhawk> I have it enabled so that I could customize my toolbar up top.
[19:07] <paperhawk> But I think you're probably on to something. I think this is where it failed "systemd[2247]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE"
[19:09] <paperhawk> And this would be where I noticed slowness when Alt-tabbing between programs I think "systemd[2247]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE"
[19:10] <paperhawk> Oops real one "/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[2266]: (EE) client bug: timer event17 tap: offset negative (-2741ms)"
[19:11] <sarnold> how'd you tap on something nearly three seconds in the future? :)
[19:16] <paperhawk> By tapping very fast I suppose. But in all seriousness I think gnome extensions might be the issue. I can probably do some googling given some of the errors I see. Thanks for pointing me towards journalctl, sarnold. Totally forgot about that.
[19:18] <sarnold> paperhawk: it'd probably be fastest to bisect the extensions -- turn off half of them, see if that fixes things, if so, re-enable half, if not, disable the other half, etc
[19:20] <Ublx> Hi, after the last update with 'sudo apt' my version of mutt was updated and now it doesn't start because of an error with the tls-connection. I didn't change the configuration. Using Ubuntu 18.04. Any ideas?
[19:24] <ioria> Ublx, works fine here; maybe check syslog
[19:24] <sarnold> Ublx: yes, moment
[19:25] <paperhawk> Sounds like a good idea, sarnold. It's rather difficult since it seems pretty random but we'll see. Thanks again for the suggestions.
[19:25] <sarnold> Ublx: note comment #5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutt/+bug/1884588
[19:31] <Ublx> ioria: Thanks but: sarnold: That's it. I am using the "Let's encrypt" certificate. But when it's a bug like this, I cannot "solve" it, right?
[19:34] <Ublx> Oh, I see, there's a patch. Could you help me please how I install it?
[19:38] <sarnold> Ublx: Ublx for whichever release you're on, click the 'mutt' that corresponds with your release
[19:38] <sarnold> Ublx: then click amd64 or whatever corresponds to your hardware (uname -a will tell you)
[19:39] <sarnold> Ublx: then there's a .deb file -- skip the .ddeb file
[19:40] <Ublx> Great, thanks so much sarnold: I wasn't sure about the build. With uname I got 'x86_64'. So which one should I choose?

[21:00] <flying_sausages> hey guys, I've got an odd WiFi issue and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. My notebook is connected to wifi but I'm unable to use it using some apps only. For example my Hexchat is still connected to my ZNC but my firefox cannot reach anything past the local network.
[21:00] <flying_sausages> Anyone seen this before? What sort of troubleshooting can I do?
[21:01] <flying_sausages> Furthermore the router itself doesn't seem to be able to ping google (from its interface) but I am still connected to my ZNC somehow...

[22:43] <gebbione> usb <-> SATA drive suddenly does not show up in Disks

[22:46] <Bashing-om> gebbione: Bad cable is one idea . bad connection is another. Does the USB port function with other devices ?
[22:48] <gebbione> a sandisk drive just popped up
[22:48] <gebbione> the drive is connected with a SATA cable, it was working today when suddenly it disappeared
[22:50] <gebbione> frustrating :/
[22:50] <gebbione> thanks anyway, night
[22:54] <B0g4r7> What's all this "snap" business?  I never saw it in 18.04, but it's all up in my 20.04.
[22:55] <B0g4r7> My system shows no less than 20 /dev/loopN filesystems mounted that are somehow associated with snap.
[22:56] <sarnold> B0g4r7: it's a new package format that's intended to make it easier to upgrade portions of the system on independent cycles
[22:56] <sarnold> https://snapcraft.io/
[22:56] <B0g4r7> I tried to save a file from a program that was "snapped", and I was not able to write it to my home directory.
[22:56] <B0g4r7> So far I don't like it.
[22:58] <sarnold> B0g4r7: that's the sandboxing that's in place -- https://ubuntu.com/blog/a-guide-to-snap-permissions-and-interfaces https://snapcraft.io/docs/interface-management https://snapcraft.io/docs/supported-interfaces
[23:01] <B0g4r7> So, is there a way to save a file from a snap sandboxed program?
[23:04] <sarnold> B0g4r7: snaps can always save to their own data directory; many snaps can also have the 'home' interface connected to let them store into your home directory
[23:05] <dengi> will Ubuntu work with mac cpus?
[23:05] <B0g4r7> This one doesn't let me save at all.  "There was an error trying to save the transaction history to /home/user/Documents/myexport.csv".
[23:05] <B0g4r7> "The interfaces used by a snap can be shown in two ways, either graphically through the Software application or via the command-line."
[23:06] <B0g4r7> Software application huh.  I don't see any application by that name installed when I look in the menu.
[23:06] <Bashing-om> !mac | dengi
[23:08] <B0g4r7> I must say, this is a big step backwards when it comes to ease of use.  If I had known to expect this I might have stayed with 18.04.
[23:11] <EriC^^> B0g4r7: i think you can still install using apt and repos instead of snaps
[23:11] <dengi> Mac announced that they will use own cpus
[23:11] <dengi> so it will require pretty new kernel
[23:12] <Bashing-om> B0g4r7: I too am not comfortable with snaps - while we can remove the daemon from the system - unfortunatly there are some apps that are only available in the snap format.
[23:12] <sarnold> dengi: no one knows if you'll be able to swap out the software on the new macs or not
[23:12] <B0g4r7> Who is Mac?
[23:12] <sarnold> dengi: they're going to be building aarch64 kernels, which ubuntu has supported for years -- but peripherals such as video, network, storage, etc may all require brand new work
[23:13] <B0g4r7> OK, so the webpage uses the wrong name.  When they say "Software application" they mean the "Ubuntu Software" application.
[23:15] <B0g4r7> I followed the instructions and examined tha snap permissions, and added the only available permission that was not available "Read and write files from removable storage devices", and after restarting the application it still is not able to write a file to my home directory.
[23:15] <B0g4r7> er, added the only available permission that was not already enabled.
[23:16] <B0g4r7> Ya, I hope I can find this program via apt somewhere.
[23:16] <sarnold> B0g4r7: before you uninstall it, could you run 'snap info' on the thing to find out where to report the problems with it?
[23:17] <dengi> sarnold: lol imagine if most apple users will install ubuntu
[23:18] <dengi> separate apple hardware from software
[23:18] <dengi> make them hardware only firm
[23:18] <B0g4r7> sarnold, http://termbin.com/q4ra
[23:19] <B0g4r7> I guess I should tell the devs.
[23:19] <Bashing-om> B0g4r7: " replaced with the Snap Store " You may find gnome-software easier to deal with: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2445853 for some background.
[23:21] <sarnold> B0g4r7: if you can include the dmesg | grep DENIED bits, they'll probably appreciate that :)
[23:38] <marslander> 'setterm --blank 0' tells me 'setterm: terminal xterm-256color does not support --blank'
[23:39] <marslander> how do I set blank to 0
[23:39] <marslander> ?
