| rodney77 | Hey there, I'm running Focal and rebooted today after a power outage. My system is unstable, with the GUI freezing up or slowing to crawl, as though I'm out out memory, but if I can get to TTY and run htop my cpu and ram is very low. | 01:05 |
| rodney77 | I also noticed a number of changes to Gnome Shell after reboot, so I'm trying to figure out if this is instability related to an update, or to the power outage. Is anyone else having problems after an update? | 01:05 |

| doke | Howdy- I just got a system update for ubuntu 20.04 and now I can no longer run the Unity game engine development tool | 01:41 |
| ikarus987 | hi i am trying to setup game server. And my server is listening to loopback instead of the ip address the server is running on :\ | 01:41 |
| doke | Wondering if theres anything I should look at in terms of ubuntu logging? | 01:41 |
| ikarus987 | how do i change what ip the server should listen to | 01:42 |
| quadrathoch2 | doke should the unity game engine work on 20.04? idk as focal is still pretty new | 01:43 |
| quadrathoch2 | ikarus987 you should probably look into the config file of the game server program | 01:43 |
| doke | quadrathoch2: its been working perfectly fine- I just tried to download the newer client and it bombed out so I think they might be having server issues but regardless short of running the application in terminal (which isnt giving any logs) I dont know if theres a generic "im throwing errors" log similar to event viewer on windows | 01:46 |
| quadrathoch2 | doke could you start it from terminal? it should normally give you errors | 01:48 |
| doke | yeah I did that it logs nothing unfortunately | 01:48 |
| quadrathoch2 | as I don't know unity itself, how did you install it? | 01:49 |
| doke | it installs as a binary in a folder with all the dependencies needed so I dont THINK its a dependency thing being broken and if it is theres not really a super obvious way to tell because theres no terminal logging its outputting | 01:50 |
| quadrathoch2 | doke appimage? | 01:50 |
| doke | quadrathoch2: im unfamiliar with what you mean by that | 01:51 |
| quadrathoch2 | doke just trying to figure out what kind of install that is | 01:51 |
| doke | quadrathoch2: its simply a compiled binary that you can ./ in a folder with all the dependencies, kind of like how you can install KDENLIVE without it being a package from package manager | 01:52 |
| quadrathoch2 | doke does that file have any file extension? | 01:53 |
| doke | nope | 01:53 |
| doke | type: application/x-executable | 01:53 |
| doke | under properties | 01:53 |
| quadrathoch2 | doke, I assume I just know not enough about unity to really help you then | 01:56 |
| doke | ok, thanks for helping me out regardless have a good one | 01:57 |

| wingedrhino | lotuspsychje, oerheks, do they support some sort of an agent-server workflow, where the agents ship logs to a server process (that may or may not be on the same machine)? Ideally I'm looking for something that you can script tiny plugins for. | 04:44 |

| dodocrypto | strywgr dmesg may be | 09:32 |
| tomreyn | strywgr: tell us about your ubuntu version, amount of ram installed, graphics chipset | 09:33 |
| tomreyn | if by "browsing" you mean web browsing, tell us about your web browser, too. | 09:33 |
| strywgr | its lubuntu 20.4, 2gb ram, intel hd 4000, firefox (youtube,fb,etc) | 09:34 |
| lotuspsychje | firefox with 2GB is rather low for a proper usage strywgr | 09:36 |

| bobdobbs | I'm using ubuntu 18.04. Is there a tool available that would allow me to capture a portion of my screen? | 09:50 |
| bobdobbs | I googled for this, but the top result applies to a specific window manager. And the following results were from 8 years ago | 09:51 |
| alexrelis | bobdobbs: Yes, such a tool exists. | 09:51 |
| bobdobbs | great! | 09:52 |
| alexrelis | You're using Gnome right? | 09:52 |
| bobdobbs | alexrelis I've got gnome installed. But I think I'm using KDE | 09:52 |
| bobdobbs | I'm definitely not using gnome as the default widget set, or desktop environment or whatever | 09:53 |
| bobdobbs | alexrelis: might you know the name of the tool? | 09:53 |
| alexrelis | bobdobbs: On Gnome, you can use Gnome Screenshot. On KDE, you can use Spectacle. Both should be installed by default. | 09:53 |
| alexrelis | With those programs, you can assign a specific keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot of a specific area to make things easier in the future. | 09:54 |
| bobdobbs | thanks | 09:56 |
| alexrelis | bobdobbs: No problem, sir/ma'am. | 09:56 |
| bobdobbs | Looking at spectacle now... it wants to take a snap of the entire display | 09:57 |
| bobdobbs | if I remember correctly, Gnome Screenshot does the same thing | 09:57 |
| alexrelis | bobdobbs: Check out the documentation: https://userbase.kde.org/Spectacle | 09:58 |
| bobdobbs | I'll settle for either of these as second best - I could take the image and then capture the area I want in GIMP. But I'm wondering if a tool exists that can capture a designated area | 09:58 |
| bobdobbs | k. will check out the docs | 09:58 |

| mra90 | I read part of DSP memory which is exposed to the host with dd by dd if=/dev/mem iflag=skip_bytes,nocache skip=2146172928 bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C | 10:26 |
| mra90 | it works OK expect one weird thing -> when host is busy reading DSP samples (copying) dd reads old memory values however when copying to host is done it reads updated values as it should? | 10:27 |
| mra90 | why is thaty | 10:27 |
| mra90 | it looks like when host copy process is running dd skips/ignores/ my read requests and give me cached valuesi nstead | 10:28 |
| tomreyn | did you mean to post this in ##linux by chance? | 10:29 |
| mra90 | yeah, my fault but it is valid also here | 10:29 |
| mra90 | tomreyn, do you have any diea? | 10:30 |
| mra90 | idea* | 10:30 |
| tomreyn | please choose one of the two, announce when you shift to the other. and, most importantly, provide context. | 10:30 |
| tomreyn | why are you doing this in the first place, what's the purpose / goal? | 10:31 |
| mra90 | debugging purposes I just want to monitor DSP behaviour | 10:31 |
| tomreyn | what's the ubuntu support question you have there? | 10:31 |
| mra90 | so I put some *marks* in the dsp memory which can be read by host | 10:31 |
| mra90 | the question is why host stops to read them when busy arecord captures audio samples | 10:32 |
| tomreyn | what is "the host"? | 10:32 |
| mra90 | Ubuntu | 10:32 |
| tomreyn | so is there a guest as well? | 10:32 |
| tomreyn | are we talking virtualization by chance? | 10:32 |
| mra90 | no no | 10:32 |
| mra90 | maybe "host" is not appropriate here | 10:33 |
| mra90 | but you got my point right? | 10:33 |
| tomreyn | no. i don'T see an ubuntu support question, yet. | 10:34 |

| mra90 | i think you don't know how to explain it | 10:35 |

| gebbione | tomreyn, yes the adapter shows on disks as SPIF30x USB2SATA Bridge (0124) | 10:49 |
| tomreyn | disconnect the drive, run journalctl -f in a terminal window. put the terminal window in front or just don't cover it by other windows. then connect the drive and tell us what is printed to the terminal window. ctrl-c to top the journalctl process. | 10:49 |

| tatertots | gebbione: most DVR especially ones provided by cable and satellite TV companies use encryption on the internal disk where recordings are stored | 11:00 |
| tatertots | gebbione: just FYI | 11:01 |
| tomreyn | section 7 of the signal man page provide a listing of available signals | 11:01 |
| gebbione | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/JCG4Tj8s8J/ | 11:01 |
| tomreyn | neure: was anything of what i just said underdstandable, or would oyu need more details? | 11:01 |
| neure | is there a signal command? | 11:02 |
| neure | or is just kill? I do it so rarely | 11:02 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> to send a signal to a process, use the "kill" command, passing the signal to send as an argument | 11:02 |
| neure | ok | 11:03 |
| neure | kill just sounds.. dangerous | 11:03 |
| gebbione | gparted does not see the drive | 11:03 |
| tomreyn | it would ask the dd process to quit if you wouldn't pass the right signal | 11:04 |
| neure | I did `sudo kill --signal USR1 5540` but the shell which is executing dd is silent | 11:05 |
| neure | `oot 5540 1.9 0.0 14760 6280 pts/0 D+ 13:55 0:10 dd bs=4M if= ...` | 11:05 |
| tomreyn | neure: is there a signal called "USR1" listed on signal(7)? | 11:05 |
| elias_a | I am getting permission denied error when trying to back up over ssh with déja-dup on 20.04. Backup to an USB disk works well. Déja-dup does not ask for password. Any hints? | 11:06 |
| neure | okay, SIGUSR1 :) | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | :) | 11:06 |
| neure | I was too slow, it _just_ completed :D | 11:06 |
| neure | 5266956288 bytes (5,3 GB, 4,9 GiB) copied, 630,293 s, 8,4 MB/s | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | you used the time well, though. | 11:07 |
| neure | yes, thanks, you were very helpful | 11:07 |
| neure | my old sata SSD is failing me | 11:08 |
| neure | sometimes when i power on, it wont show up even in bios, and I need to cut power before it shows up again | 11:08 |
| neure | I dual boot windows and ubuntu from that drive.. I need to reinstall both to a new drive :/ | 11:09 |
| tomreyn | so you're lucky, most just vanish forever. | 11:09 |
| neure | I have had a second drive for a while, but as I added that later, I only used it for storage so far | 11:11 |
| neure | now I got a third drive and I plan to move contents of second drive to the new third one and use then use the second drive for booting stuff | 11:12 |
| neure | what do I use to partition new drives? | 11:12 |
| neure | Disks ? | 11:12 |
| tomreyn | fdisk, parted, and maybe gui tools work, too | 11:13 |
| elias_a | Funny - running déja-dup from terminal does not reveal the reason for permission denied error... | 11:13 |
| gebbione | tomreyn, any ideas as to why even gparted does not see the disk even if the bridge is detected -> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/JCG4Tj8s8J/ | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | neure: nowadays you'll probably want a gpt partition table, not mbr/(ms)dos | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | gebbione: no, but what tatertots said about encryption could explain it. and the hdparm output i suggested to paste may exlain it, too. | 11:15 |
| gebbione | so these disks cannot be formatted? | 11:16 |
| tomreyn | which disks? | 11:16 |
| gebbione | encrypted ones, this was the only element of difference i can see with any other disks that is mounting correctly | 11:17 |
| tomreyn | depends on the encryption used. do you know it is encrypted? what do you know about the disk? | 11:17 |
| gebbione | all i know is that i have taken it out of an Amstrad Sky HD box and it is a SATA drive | 11:20 |
| tomreyn | see, that's not a lot. so maybe getting more details on the disk would be a good idea. | 11:20 |
| gebbione | Seagate 5VV358M6 | 11:20 |
| neure | which partition filesystem should I use to share data between windows and ubuntu? | 11:21 |
| tomreyn | gebbione: is there a reason you prefer not to run hdparm against it? | 11:21 |
| kk4ewt | fat | 11:21 |
| neure | gparted does not seem to allow me to format partition as exfat | 11:22 |
| neure | i wonder why? | 11:22 |
| tomreyn | neure: fat (no journalling), ntfs (can be slow), exfat (proper support in linux is in early stages only) | 11:22 |
| gebbione | tomreyn, no reason. I have run the previous hdparm command but not sure what to do to make this drive visible | 11:23 |
| neure | I think used exfat before, but now that partition does not show up, weird | 11:23 |
| neure | hmm | 11:23 |
| tomreyn | gebbione: was there any output? | 11:23 |
| neure | is ntfs okay? | 11:23 |
| neure | I do not care if it is a bit slower | 11:24 |
| gebbione | tomreyn, the one i shared before -> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/JCG4Tj8s8J/ | 11:24 |
| gebbione | or let me run it again | 11:24 |
| tomreyn | neure: the other issue with ntfs is that there is only partial support in linux, you'll still need to run file system checks on windows. | 11:24 |
| gebbione | tomreyn, https://termbin.com/n1x6 | 11:25 |
| tomreyn | gebbione: this is from a kernel log, not hdparm output | 11:25 |
| tomreyn | ah this second paste is | 11:25 |
| tomreyn | so you actually ran it now :) | 11:25 |
| gebbione | yep i think i got confused with the links | 11:26 |
| gebbione | but disks still shows no medium | 11:26 |
| tomreyn | drive info is garbled, that's not a good sign | 11:26 |
| gebbione | is hdparm supposed to connect the drive | 11:26 |
| tomreyn | hdparm is a low level utility to talk to storages. | 11:27 |
| gebbione | is it possible that I am using a poor SATA -> USB cable? | 11:28 |
| tomreyn | gebbione: it'l be better to attach it directly to the sata bus | 11:28 |
| gebbione | i ll try | 11:28 |
| tomreyn | the cable could be bad, also the sata <-> usb <-> sata translation is usually lossy | 11:28 |
| kk4ewt | neure linux doesnt support for ntfs is hit and miss | 11:29 |
| gebbione | what about docking stations | 11:29 |
| gebbione | i really would like to switch to different disks through USB | 11:29 |
| tomreyn | gebbione: you could try a security erase command, but personally i wouldn't want to do this over sata <-> usb <-> sata, and not without having identified the disk model and ensuring that it is actually capable of it. | 11:30 |
| tomreyn | "Seagate 5VV358M6" does not seem to exist | 11:31 |
| tomreyn | (probably a typo, look for 0 vs O etc | 11:31 |
| neure | how should I move files from one drive to another? just mv ? | 11:32 |
| neure | actually I should just copy | 11:33 |
| neure | so cp | 11:33 |
| gebbione | tomreyn, here is the disk label https://ibb.co/MSxnQk5 | 11:34 |
| neure | I think I'll better copy the ntfs-sharing partition from old to new in windows instead of ubuntu, just to be safe | 11:35 |
| tatertots | gebbione: was the disk removed from a working functional DVR? | 11:37 |
| tomreyn | gebbione: so this is a Seagate ST3500312CS HDD | 11:37 |
| gebbione | tatertots, not sure if it was in working conditions | 11:38 |
| tomreyn | https://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/docs/manual/ce/Pipeline%20HD%20Series/100529372j.pdf | 11:38 |
| tomreyn | that's a boring old sata II disk. | 11:40 |
| gebbione | still free 500GB of storage | 11:41 |
| tomreyn | not from what we've seen so far. | 11:41 |
| gebbione | if it worked | 11:41 |
| tatertots | gebbione: cable and satellite DVR hard drives are encrypted, it is not intended that recordings be copied or moved outside of the device | 11:42 |
| tatertots | gebbione: verify the drive functions in it's place of origin (in the DVR from which it came) | 11:43 |
| psygate | Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 as a live system, and after a few minutes of IO transfers the performance degrades to kb/s, it's not great to start with (5-7MB/s), any idea how I can fix this? | 11:44 |
| tatertots | gebbione: you most likely will not be re purposing the disk | 11:44 |
| tomreyn | psygate: what are you transferring from where to where? | 11:46 |
| psygate | tomreyn, internal harddrive, SATA to internal ssd, nvme | 11:47 |
| tomreyn | psygate: how much ram does this system have? | 11:47 |
| psygate | and the write cache (dirty bytes?) goes up to 6GB cached when writing | 11:47 |
| psygate | 32GB | 11:47 |
| tomreyn | so you'Re not writing to the overaly file system, right? | 11:48 |
| tomreyn | *overlay | 11:48 |
| psygate | What the overlay filesystem? | 11:48 |
| tomreyn | whatever the ubuntu live system is stored on | 11:49 |
| psygate | i... dont think so? can i check somehow? | 11:49 |
| gebbione | tatertots, i should be able. Lots of people just take these drives out and reuse them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLAyVqNau7Y | 11:49 |
| psygate | but the harddrives are not the usb stick where ubuntu is on. if thats what youre asking, those are independend drives. | 11:49 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | psygate you can directly write to the block-device or just use copy,move etc to operate on the filesystem, when the device is mounted | 11:50 |
| neure | cool, google can answer things like 128GB / 80MB/s | 11:50 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | hi btw | 11:50 |
| lotuspsychje | neure: lets keep it ubuntu support related please | 11:50 |
| tomreyn | psygate: yes thats what i meant, sorry, my question was not qell phrased | 11:51 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | neure, just don't loose your brains letting google do all the thinking ;) | 11:51 |
| tomreyn | *well | 11:51 |
| neure | lotuspsychje, yeah sorry, I'm just preparing to reinstall operating systems and need to move stuff around | 11:51 |
| psygate | Drives are independend, and it doesnt help to install ubuntu to an internal drive either. | 11:51 |
| lotuspsychje | neure: sure, prepare in silence, or discuss in #ubuntu-discuss | 11:52 |
| psygate | it just feels as if ubuntu cant really speak "fast sata" and queues writes somewhere, to flush them slowly | 11:52 |
| tomreyn | psygate: ah so you tried installing ubuntu and booted off it and experienced the same issue? | 11:52 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | psgate, what do you mean, that is actually not relevant, and drivers are always dependend, on hardware os etc. | 11:52 |
| psygate | yea | 11:52 |
| tomreyn | psygate: do you still have this installation? | 11:52 |
| psygate | no, i had to remove it to boot _anything_ that works with more then 300kbit/s | 11:53 |
| tomreyn | psygate: did it ever work better? have you ruled out a hardware issue, yet? | 11:53 |
| psygate | I am pretty sure its not the hardware. I had the same issue some years ago on any laptop i installed ubuntu on | 11:54 |
| psygate | and ssd to ssd works with ~200-300MB/s under windows | 11:54 |
| tomreyn | it is not a generic ubuntu or linux issue | 11:54 |
| psygate | I'm not sure. | 11:54 |
| _DaBez_ | hello ;) | 11:54 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | psygate, I had a similiar issue , not with ubuntu but with arch, have you tried to change the protocol for the driver in the bios/UEFI settings? | 11:55 |
| psygate | to? the only other option is RAID | 11:55 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome _DaBez_ | 11:55 |
| torinarg | hello | 11:55 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | nono, not the that option, for the nvme-drives there are 2 other ones | 11:55 |
| _DaBez_ | do anyone know, if there's a version for 32 Bit PowerPC? I want to use my old iBook G3 with ubuntu | 11:56 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | I cannot recall, but if you find it in your bios try changing it | 11:56 |
| psygate | the nvme drive isnt really the problem, the sata harddrive is | 11:56 |
| psygate | it looks like the sata controller is saturated by the commands, because if i try to communicate smart or anythign with the drive, it just doesnt respond until all IO is done, and sync terminates. | 11:57 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | that has nothing to do with the driver, that is deep down in the uefi-configuration prior the driver | 11:57 |
| lotuspsychje | !mac | _DaBez_ start here | 11:58 |
| ubottu | _DaBez_ start here: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 11:58 |
| _DaBez_ | ubottu that's for intel Mac since 2006. my iBook was introduced in 2001... | 12:00 |
| ubottu | _DaBez_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:00 |
| _DaBez_ | oh ;) | 12:00 |
| _DaBez_ | lotuspsychje then this message above is for you... | 12:01 |
| xerces8 | Hi! Anyone using PPPoE ? It is suspiciosly slow. I set up two test VMs on the same host and an IP connection between them runs at 2 Gbit/s, but PPPoE is 10 times slower. | 12:01 |
| xerces8 | measured each time with iperf3 | 12:02 |
| psygate | IaMnEwHeRe, the nvme drive is not the issue. | 12:02 |
| lotuspsychje | _DaBez_: a lot of older ubuntu versions are EOL by now, you could try a 18.04 32bit perhaps, but not sure that will work on an old ibook.. | 12:02 |
| lotuspsychje | _DaBez_: i head great experiences with 18.04 and macs, but all ive tested were not too ancient | 12:03 |
| _DaBez_ | oof. can you recommend some OS to me? I want to use RDP and SSH, client each | 12:03 |
| lotuspsychje | _DaBez_: we are in the ubuntu support channel here, we reccomend ubuntu | 12:04 |
| lotuspsychje | _DaBez_: try a 16.04 or an 18.04 32bit liveusb on it as a test? | 12:04 |
| torinarg | I've got a question - I have a problem with the setup of a new co-lo machine (ubuntu focal). The network connectivity via netplan works - but ipv6 routing doesn't seem to work. I can send icmp6 echo requests to the machine - and tcpdump shows them arriving. But no echo responses go back... Nothing in firewall log either (also doesn't work if I turn off ufw for the test) | 12:04 |
| _DaBez_ | I'll try, thx ;) | 12:05 |
| torinarg | The weird thing is that I have another machine, where ipv6 is working (on fossa, using netplan)... | 12:05 |
| torinarg | only ipv4 config works fine | 12:05 |
| lotuspsychje | torinarg: ubuntu server? | 12:05 |
| torinarg | yep | 12:06 |
| lotuspsychje | torinarg: try #ubuntu-server if you like for likeminded volunteers | 12:06 |
| torinarg | ok - thank you. | 12:06 |

| lotuspsychje | viktor_: did you try another repo/mirror yet? | 12:17 |
| viktor_ | lotuspsychje: not yet, but if it's the mirror, would it get stuck twice when already passed 90% ? | 12:18 |
| viktor_ | lotuspsychje: ...it just finished. i guess i'm impatient | 12:19 |

| viktor_ | Is mariaDB something you install on top off mysql, or instead of? | 12:34 |
| echoSMILE | hum. is seems I have everythin installed, but still get: "error in skin config file 6: png read error in /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/main" | 12:34 |

| RedNifre | Is it a good idea to use the desktop version for a server? (A desktop computer that will be connected to the internet and host something) | 12:57 |
| RedNifre | I'm thinking open ports, standard ssh passwords or any other pitfalls that might make a desktop OS easier to use, but would be fatal for a server. | 12:58 |
| viktor_ | RedNifre: I don't see why it would be a bad idea | 12:59 |
| viktor_ | RedNifre: depends on use also, i suppose | 13:00 |
| RedNifre | alright, ubuntu 20.04 lts desktop version it is then. | 13:03 |
| RedNifre | And Microsoft won't buy Canonical any time soon, right? | 13:03 |
| coconut | RedNifre, lol no... | 13:03 |
| viktor_ | RedNifre: they'd actually wouldn't have intellectual rights on it. which makes it hard to earn money. like android... kind of | 13:06 |
| tatertots | they already own github | 13:07 |
| ws2k3 | lotuspsychje: i think my system is kinda stuck currently. some dependency's are messed up | 13:10 |
| miguel_clean | Hello, Where does the "energy when full" value on the power-statistics battery panel comes from? | 13:29 |
| miguel_clean | is this something that the battery itself reports? | 13:29 |
| elias_a | miguel_clean: AFAIK it comes from the battery. | 13:29 |
| quadrathoch2 | viktor_ it's installed instead of mysql ;) | 13:30 |
| miguel_clean | is there any chance that it will improve? The batery has not been used for a long time... If not I have to dispose it. (it is less then a third of the capacity it was designed for) | 13:31 |
| quadrathoch2 | miguel_clean normally it's the controller of the battery, so kinda yes. | 13:32 |
| viktor_ | quadrathoch2: thanks | 13:32 |
| viktor_ | quadrathoch2: but since you have to use "systemctl start mysql" to start mariaDB. which one do you enable to run mariaDB on boot? (i mean, as a command) | 13:34 |
| quadrathoch2 | viktor_ normally it's either/or, not both on the same system | 13:35 |
| quadrathoch2 | viktor_ mariadb tries to be a full replacement for mysql (as it is a fork) but it's not 100% as they deviate more and more | 13:36 |
| viktor_ | quadrathoch2: yes, i had to purge mysql to get maria installed. but i had to input "systemctl start mysql" to start maria, as it's "pretending" to be mysql. that's why i wasn't sure which to pass to systemctl. eventhough mysql isn't on my system anymore | 13:39 |
| quadrathoch2 | viktor_ i'm not sure if that is a relict from the fork, or if it's intentional :/ | 13:40 |
| Dr_Coke | Anyone know when fractional scaling is coming to nvidia gpus | 13:41 |
| Dr_Coke | for gnome | 13:41 |
| viktor_ | quadrathoch2: i think that's intentional. anyway, i enabled maria and mysql status now says it's enabled. so that works... i think | 13:42 |
| quadrathoch2 | Dr_Coke I guess you need to ask Nvidia for that | 13:42 |
| viktor_ | quadrathoch2: either way it will become apparent when i use it | 13:42 |
| quadrathoch2 | viktor_ :) | 13:42 |
| quadrathoch2 | Dr_Coke oh wait, I thought it was a driver thing, but probably it's not, so which DE are you using | 13:43 |
| Dr_Coke | quadrathoch2, Gnome on 20.04 | 13:43 |
| miguel_clean | thanks elias_a & quadrathoch2 | 13:44 |
| === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon | ||
| quadrathoch2 | Dr_Coke, so yeah you would need to ask nvidia, as X11 doesn't support fractional scaling, and nvidia doesn't support wayland | 13:45 |
| Dr_Coke | quadrathoch2, why doesn't nvidia support wayland | 13:46 |
| Dr_Coke | quadrathoch2, I read AMD cards support it | 13:46 |
| quadrathoch2 | Dr_Coke ask Nvidia, as they didn't want to contribute to GBM, and now they are complaining that they can't support it *shrug* | 13:47 |
| quadrathoch2 | Dr_Coke yes, as the drivers are open source, so they can be adapted by amd or the community | 13:47 |
| Dr_Coke | quadrathoch2, what is GBM | 13:47 |
| quadrathoch2 | it's the backend for speaking to wayland | 13:48 |
| Dr_Coke | quadrathoch2, does everything work on wayland these days | 13:48 |
| quadrathoch2 | or rather an API to speak to the gpu | 13:48 |
| quadrathoch2 | Dr_Coke depends on what you mean by everything | 13:48 |
| Dr_Coke | well does wayland work as well as x11 | 13:49 |
| quadrathoch2 | as wayland is roughly only 4 years old, it still takes a little bit of time to perfect everything, but most stuff would work (and there is still xwayland) | 13:49 |

| rapha | quadrathoch2: yeah, and alpine does it, too, and i'm assuming arch and gentoo, do, anyways, but i need ubuntu for this... | 13:53 |
| rapha | i'll just try https://github.com/ynkjm/ubuntu-serial-install and hope that that's still the way to go, even though it's over three years old now | 13:54 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha, it's the installer type, not talking about debian. so I can't find it right now but there is still the old installer for 20.04 (i guess server) | 13:55 |
| neure | do I (still) need to disable windows fastboot when installing ubuntu side by side with windows 10? | 13:56 |
| rapha | quadrathoch2: yes, server. aha! okay, let me browse around for it... | 13:56 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha I guess, it's called classic installer | 13:57 |
| rapha | hmm seems 18.04.1 was the last version that was available with the classic installer | 13:59 |
| rapha | wish there was an easy way of editing .isos... *sigh* | 14:00 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha, here is the mini.iso http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/ | 14:00 |
| * rapha tries | 14:01 | |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha, sadly, after 20.04, i guess the only way is to use debootstrap for installing the system | 14:01 |
| rapha | quadrathoch2: hopefully i won't have to do it this way again. my _actual_ problem is shitty café wifi and non-working SPICE. | 14:03 |
| rapha | hmm. serial remaining quiet thus far. | 14:04 |
| rapha | quadrathoch2: okay, even the mini.iso doesn't have menu.c32 anymore; only vesamenu.c32 | 14:12 |
| maret | hi everyone I am trying to run .bin file as a service this is my .service config https://www.pastiebin.com/5ef8a50bd1f07 but I am getting an error Loaded: error (Reason: Invalid argument) | 14:12 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha so I guess only debootstrap is the only option now, or moving away from ubuntu | 14:14 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha, as they are still working on it, it seems https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1770962 | 14:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1770962 in subiquity "Support serial-port based install" [Medium,Triaged] | 14:14 |
| rapha | quadrathoch2: still trying to remaster the .iso... | 14:15 |
| quadrathoch2 | any specific needs to go to those lengths to support an install that canonical tries to abolish? idk | 14:15 |
| rapha | oh nice, that link will be helpful | 14:15 |
| ioria | maret, this is a typo, right ? -> 'fileExecStart=/home/myuser/myapp.bin' | 14:16 |
| rapha | quadrathoch2: yeah, installing a VM over a really crappy café wifi hotspot is the usecase here. | 14:16 |
| rapha | (already had to VPN out via 443 just to get SSH working) | 14:16 |
| maret | ioria not sure, what should be ethere? | 14:16 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha ahh, okay | 14:17 |
| ioria | maret, please, paste again the unit file : cat myunit | nc termbin.com 9999 | 14:17 |
| maret | ioria sorry I am noit following | 14:19 |
| maret | what do you want me to do? | 14:19 |
| ioria | maret, paste again the unit file | 14:20 |
| maret | Ioria https://www.pastiebin.com/5ef8a50bd1f07 | 14:20 |
| ioria | maret, ok... nvm: there is no 'fileExecStart' instuction in systemd ; you want 'ExecStart' | 14:21 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha, hope it works out for you | 14:22 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha if not, i guess you could always go to the route of installing a different os, and then debootstrapping ubuntu | 14:23 |
| rapha | quadrathoch2: trying 18.04.1 iso now ... upgrading would be simple on a fresh install | 14:24 |
| quadrathoch2 | rapha or that | 14:24 |

| The_LoudSpeaker | Hey everyone! I am facing a problem on apt since a couple of days, apt update takes a long time. It gets stuck on waiting for headers line. | 14:57 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | and then disconnects saying Err:26 http://ubuntu.hbcse.tifr.res.in/ubuntu bionic InRelease | 14:57 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | Connection failed [IP: 158.144.42.100 80] | 14:57 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | any suggestions to this? | 14:57 |
| quadrathoch2 | The_LoudSpeaker sounds like you should test out a different mirror | 14:58 |
| dreamon | hello. Im on 20.04 an bought a new lenovo thinkpad. GPU → 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics (rev 02) | 15:07 |
| dreamon | having trouble. installed xserver-xorg-video-intel. I have horizontal lines at loginscreen and no mpv, vlc player works anmore | 15:08 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | quadrathoch2: yup! Just did that. used the softwares and updates app to select a different local mirror. | 15:09 |
| dreamon | what can I do? maybe there is a new driver or kernel update? | 15:09 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | running an apt update now. | 15:09 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | let's see how it goes. | 15:09 |
| The_LoudSpeaker | and it's successful | 15:10 |
| tatertots | dreamon: do you have the same issue when booted to LiveDVD/LiveUSB??? | 15:13 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | dreamon, just an FYI xorg is sunset, Redhat will not develop new features and it will be phased out sooner or later | 15:13 |
| MonkeyDust | oh, hi lotuspsychje ! | 15:15 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | as I understand it gnome is using wayland now anywas does it not? | 15:16 |
| lotuspsychje | IaMnEwHeRe: ubuntu chosen to have wayland choosable at login, but not by default | 15:16 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | thx | 15:18 |
| dreamon | tatertots, I didnt tried till now.. I will give it a try | 15:19 |
| neure | Where do I change mouser cursor size? | 15:21 |
| dreamon | IaMnEwHeRe, can you do it in a easier english. I couldnt understand anything. | 15:22 |
| dreamon | what is FYI? | 15:22 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | For Your Information | 15:22 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | an acronym like LOL etc. | 15:23 |
| dreamon | IaMnEwHeRe, Im using xfce4 .. dont know what its using | 15:24 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | a window manager/desktop environment like xfce, KDE, GDM or awesome are not tied to a display-server, well not always, awesome is tied to xorg, wayland can run it with a compatibility-layer(?) but for the rest I believe they should be compatible with either or | 15:26 |
| === Harry_ is now known as Harry | ||
| IaMnEwHeRe | dreamon, take a look at what you installed 'dpkg -l|grep -i -e kde -e gdm -e xorg' and you can also look at what is running 'ps -aux|grep ... same as before ....' | 15:27 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | hmm sry not kde or gdm, what wayland or weston | 15:28 |
| RedNifre | Hey there, I got the stupidest Ubuntu problem this year. | 15:29 |
| RedNifre | My screen broke and I want to install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my desktop pc. So I connected it to the TV, started it with a USB drive, was able to see it up to the "keyboard equals person in circle" screen and now my TV says "unsupported mode. Resolution not supported. Change the resolution of the external device". | 15:30 |
| RedNifre | The TV is 4k, but also supports lower resolutions, e.g. the 720p or 1080p of a Nintendo Switch, so I have no idea why it complains. | 15:31 |
| RedNifre | How can I change the resolution without seeing anything? | 15:31 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | plugging in a different monitor? | 15:32 |
| RedNifre | The other monitor broke. | 15:32 |
| RedNifre | I already threw it away, so I don't have another monitor. | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | RedNifre, hdmi connection to the TV? | 15:33 |
| RedNifre | I only have a laptop, a smartphone and a Nintendo Switch, so I guess I can't MacGyver something... | 15:33 |
| RedNifre | BluesKaj: yes | 15:33 |
| RedNifre | It worked for a moment, the "keyboard = person in circle" screen showed up for a moment with a low res and some "Ubuntu" screen with loading circles showed up at a good resolution. | 15:34 |
| BluesKaj | RedNifre, what was the previous resolution you used on the broken monitor ? | 15:37 |
| RedNifre | 1080p, but that shouldn't matter, because I already booted Windows from that PC connected to the TV and I'm now booting from a USB stick. | 15:38 |
| RedNifre | I now did a hard shutdown and am trying again | 15:38 |
| RedNifre | I get the accessibilyt screen and now I get a native resolution boot screen | 15:38 |
| RedNifre | the one with Ubuntu at the bottom. | 15:38 |
| RedNifre | Checking disks: 42% complete | 15:39 |
| RedNifre | Checking ./casper/filesystem.squashfs | 15:39 |
| RedNifre | Press ctrl+C to cancel all fylestem checks in progress | 15:39 |
| RedNifre | Let's wait what happens afterwards... | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | ok ok, just let us know when an error message appears | 15:39 |
| RedNifre | What SHOULD happen after that? | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | let it finish the file system phase, usually takes a few mins | 15:41 |
| RedNifre | Yeah, it goes from "Checking finished, no errors found" to the TV error message about the unsupported resolution. | 15:41 |
| tomreyn | dreamon: did you read the description of the package you chose to install (xserver-xorg-video-intel)? | 15:41 |
| RedNifre | Is there a hotkey for switching the resolution? | 15:41 |
| dreamon | IaMnEwHeRe, I purged xserver-xorg-video-intel .. rebooted → https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gSqyS2SHKM/ | 15:42 |
| neure | asking again, sorry if I missed the answer, what can use to change mouse cursor size? | 15:42 |
| dreamon | tomreyn, I used german wiki.. where is the description to find? | 15:43 |
| tomreyn | apt show $PACKAGE | 15:44 |
| maret | Ioria thanks that was the problem | 15:45 |
| IaMnEwHeRe | dreamon you already have gdm3 have a look at https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-enable-disable-wayland-on-ubuntu-20-04-desktop | 15:45 |
| denixx|pl1 | Hi! Does anyone know some ways to supply some kernel param to make loading modules with delay, e.g. to load another module after key pressed. | 15:51 |
| denixx|pl1 | I'm here on Lenovo MIIX 320-10ICR, and trying Ubuntu 20.04 on it. The problem is my screen goes black, if I don't supply "acpi=off". But another problem is that this option disables mmcblk's in my tablet... | 15:53 |
| RedNifre | okay, got a tty with ctrl alt F3, can I change the resolution of the graphical session from there? | 15:54 |
| denixx|pl1 | If I supply acpi=off, it show screen to me. If I supply acpi=ht, it goes black screen :( | 15:55 |
| denixx|pl1 | Also, looks like this is not a backlight problem. If I won't add params, or if I add acpi=ht, After welcome sound is played, I am able to change backlight intensity with Fn+Up, Fn+Down. | 15:57 |
| denixx|pl1 | I already found, that it's not a backlight problem, but I couldn't figure out what it could be. This tablet have intel graphics. | 15:58 |
| denixx|pl1 | But what it could be, if i just disable ACPI and it works well... except I couldn't get disks, and SD-card-reader... | 16:00 |

| Rojola | hi | 16:31 |
| Rojola | I fail connecting to my android tablet via "adb" from my ubuntu computer. | 16:31 |
| Rojola | if anyone feels like helping, please tell me :) | 16:31 |
| Rojola | $ adb shell | 16:31 |
| Rojola | error: closed | 16:31 |
| tomreyn | i think there is #android | 16:32 |
| Rojola | tomreyn, yeah, and they seem to be very angry with me. | 16:32 |
| Rojola | tomreyn, okay, I take "angry" back. They just stopped talking to me. | 16:33 |
| Rojola | I seem not to have understood them, and now I get the silent treatment | 16:33 |
| tomreyn | which ubuntu package does this adb belong to? | 16:34 |
| Rojola | if I only know... I installed it a _long_ time ago | 16:34 |
| Rojola | wait, let me check apt | 16:34 |
| tomreyn | dpkg -S $(which adb) | 16:34 |
| Rojola | $ dpkg -S $(which adb) | 16:35 |
| Rojola | adb: /usr/bin/adb | 16:35 |
| tomreyn | Rojola: apt-cache policy adb 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 16:36 |
| tomreyn | this will post package info to termbin.com, and print the url you can share with us | 16:38 |
| Rojola | ok | 16:38 |
| Rojola | tomreyn, I did what you said. However, I choose "dpaste". I hope that's okay? | 16:39 |
| Rojola | https://dpaste.org/2xW8 | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | "android debug bridge" | 16:40 |
| tomreyn | Rojola: works for me, although i prefer monotype fonts for terminal output. | 16:40 |
| Rojola | tomreyn, termbin does not let me delete my paste | 16:40 |
| Rojola | at dpaste, I can choose to delete it. | 16:41 |
| tomreyn | i see. looks like you have an outdated adb version installed. | 16:41 |
| Rojola | tomreyn, before I proceed with installing a new version of adb, please tell me: | 16:41 |
| Rojola | Would it even work? My tablet is stuck in a boot loop, but, I can access the recovery mode and the download mode | 16:42 |
| Rojola | can I download my pictures + a colornote backup via adb from there? | 16:42 |
| quadrathoch2 | Rojola do you own a Samsung device? | 16:42 |
| Rojola | quadrathoch2, yes, I own a Samsung Tablet. The device is question is said device. | 16:42 |
| tomreyn | i thionk for adb to work you'll need a fully booted phone, or twrp, but that's not an ubuntu question | 16:42 |
| RedNifre | BluesKaj: Thank you. Though I solved the problem by running the installer in the special secure graphics mode instead. | 16:43 |
| quadrathoch2 | Rojola Samsung doesn't support adb, you need their Odin Software (which is only windows) | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | RedNifre, good to hear :-) | 16:44 |
| Rojola | quadrathoch2, ok, you just gave me a reason not to buy a samsung device | 16:44 |
| Rojola | thank you, quadrathoch2 | 16:44 |
| quadrathoch2 | Rojola btw, what recovery do you have on that device? | 16:45 |
| Rojola | quadrathoch2, how do you mean that? I have a recovery mode where I can choose from different options | 16:45 |
| Rojola | but I have not taken a backup | 16:45 |
| quadrathoch2 | Rojola so you have the oem recovery? | 16:46 |
| Rojola | quadrathoch2, I believe it's on the tablet | 16:46 |
| Rojola | I can choose to reset the tablet (factory reset) | 16:47 |
| Rojola | booting into safe mode fails, too | 16:47 |
| tomreyn | quadrathoch2, Rojola: could you move this topic to a channel where it's topical? | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | Rojola, Rojola have you tried GSConnect ? | 16:47 |
| Rojola | BluesKaj, never heard of it. | 16:47 |
| quadrathoch2 | BluesKaj won't work as it's bootlooping | 16:47 |
| Rojola | tomreyn, where should I go? | 16:47 |
| tomreyn | !alis | 16:47 |
| ubottu | Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" | 16:47 |
| Rojola | BluesKaj, quadrathoch2 - please tell me where we can go. | 16:48 |
| Rojola | I don't want to upset tomreyn | 16:48 |
| quadrathoch2 | Rojola let's go #android-chat | 16:49 |

| skyliner_369 | you know what'd be cool to do, but probably really hard to do if not impossible? put Ubuntu on like, an iPad. but chances are there's like, a t-2 chip on 64-bit iPads preventing the use of any OS other than apple's OS | 16:50 |

| zutat | if it can run a version of dos it can run ubuntu right? | 16:54 |
| tomreyn | assuming there are drivers for all the hardware, probably so. | 16:56 |
| skyliner_369 | well, canonical is deprecating all x86 support. so that would reign less true in the time to come | 16:56 |
| skyliner_369 | but I'm pretty sure ARM distros will work fine on ARM machines | 16:57 |
| skyliner_369 | though bit depth matching will probably be of ARM as well. | 16:58 |

| gregor3000 | or at least 20.04 | 17:04 |
| lotuspsychje | gregor3000: im affraid we cant generalize statements for every ryzen system to run smooth out of the box | 17:05 |
| lotuspsychje | gregor3000: best is to liveusb test first on your specific hardware/model/hardware combo to see if you produce bugs or not | 17:05 |
| gregor3000 | i know. there are other things involved. i am checkign them one by one. the 3200U seems to be supported (as i found info on mintforums) | 17:06 |

| neure | Is there a way to set login screen wallpaper? | 17:10 |
| quadrathoch2 | gregor3000, especially with laptops, it's really hard to say if it works or not, as the oem manufacturer could theoretically wire some chips differently and so it doesn't work 100% | 17:11 |
| gregor3000 | if hw-probe says detected, does that mean the hw will work or just that it's detected? | 17:16 |
| mason | neure: Should happen per-user, or you can set it manually. Depends on your display manager. | 17:17 |
| mason | maret: I set my kids up with LightDM and XFCE, and it passes along their backgrounds so each user gets the right one. | 17:17 |
| neure | mason, sorry, please explain me how per-user login wallpaper makes sense, when no-one has yet logged in when I get to the login screen..? | 17:18 |
| neure | I can change the normal per-user wallpaper fine | 17:18 |
| mason | neure: As noted, depends on your display manager. LightDM, for instance, lets you have a user list on-screen, and one of them will be selected. | 17:18 |
| neure | but I'd like to change the login wallpaper as well | 17:18 |
| neure | I have whatever ubuntu uses by default | 17:19 |
| mason | That's probably gdm recently. Used to be LightDM. | 17:19 |
| mason | So, I guess it depends on what version of Ubuntu you're running. | 17:19 |
| neure | 20.04 | 17:19 |
| neure | so how do I change login screen wallpaper in gdm? | 17:19 |
| mason | I don't use GDM, so I'm not sure. That said, this is a good place to ask. Someone will know. | 17:20 |
| neure | thanks | 17:21 |
| mason | neure: If you want to research it, it probably still involves "AccountsService" although they might have moved on. | 17:25 |

| gregor3000 | does nvidia prime now fully work in ubuntu? i just found dell with Ubuntu preloaded. At first i though it only has nvidia GPU + intel CPU, but it looks liek the intel CPU also has a GPU chip since it's core i5-1035G1 | 17:30 |
| coconut | gregor3000, works for me (not a Dell) on ubuntu-mate 20.04 | 17:33 |
| gregor3000 | coconut: manual switch when you need it? or is it auto swithing? | 17:34 |
| gregor3000 | switching | 17:34 |
| neure | oh, gnome tweaks can change the lock screen wallpaper | 17:34 |
| coconut | gregor3000, you mean that the "on demand" setting is the config to auto switch? I have not checked, not do i know how to check it... Manually switching does seem to work ok. | 17:37 |

| tangarora | does anyone know how to mount an external disk device wiht some lvm on it? It used to be the bood drive of an old laptop... | 17:55 |
| neure | apt-file requires sudo? | 17:55 |
| tangarora | "disks" identifies it as a physical lvm. | 17:55 |
| neure | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 17:55 |
| tangarora | it does not show up in lvdisplay | 17:55 |

| tangarora | I am lost here | 17:55 |
| tangarora | Its an lvm but it does not show in lvmdisplay... | 17:56 |
| tomreyn | tangarora: try pvscan, lvmdiskscan, pvs, vgs, lvs | 17:56 |
| tangarora | tomeyn: ok | 17:57 |
| tangarora | ah ok | 17:57 |
| tangarora | PV /dev/sde1 VG ubuntu-vg lvm2 [698.63 GiB / 0 free] | 17:58 |
| tangarora | now how to mount it... | 17:58 |
| tangarora | :) | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | tangarora: so you have a physical volume, which is like a disk, and a volume group, hwich is a bit like a raid array, and in there should be logical volumes (lv). run pvs, vgs, lvs | 17:59 |
| tomreyn | those logical volumes will contain what you are looking for | 17:59 |
| tangarora | got it... mounted using the logical volume name... | 18:02 |
| tangarora | that worked | 18:02 |

| tomreyn | most of the time, manually handling fan control is not a good idea, since doing it wrong can easily mean you burn the hardware. if there is driver support in the first place. | 18:11 |
| tomreyn | this said, i'd look for firmware updates first of all (for at least dedicated graphics cards those usually need to be applied on windows) | 18:12 |
| gregor3000 | kernel update will update the drivers for newer hadrware (you can update kernel in 18.04 using Ubuntu HWE stack). | 18:15 |

| ikarus987 | how do i check if ufw is enabled ? | 18:20 |
| ikarus987 | which is a firewall | 18:20 |
| gregor3000 | ikarus987: on desktop? there should be an icon for gufw or what si it called. otherwise oyu enable it by sudo ufw enable. | 18:23 |
| gregor3000 | gufw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw | 18:23 |
| jeremy31 | ikarus987: in terminal> sudo ufw status | 18:23 |
| elias_a | Why do GUI apps using SSH not work out of the box in 20.04? Trying to make a ssh connection with Nautilus fails, so does Déja-dup backup. Checked with live-usb - same thing. | 18:31 |
| elias_a | Is there some new security feature I don't know of? | 18:31 |
| tomreyn | elias_a: what'S the error message you get? | 18:35 |
| tomreyn | and are you able to connect on the CLI? | 18:35 |
| ikarus987 | guys i am in rough state of mind :( i fallowed these steps 1 by 1 https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Linux_dedicated_server#Create_a_shell_script_to_run_the_server and according to when i run the server, server seem to be running just fine but i cant connect to it :( i checked even this command 'sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN' and its listening to the right address | 18:37 |

| dsuch | Hello, I am using Ubuntu 18.04 - I am looking for the exact set of source code files that was used to buildPython 3.6.9 package. | 18:57 |
| dsuch | The reason is that in my program I am getting this exception "SystemError: ../Objects/longobject.c:404: bad argument to internal function" and I would like to check what this line contains. | 18:57 |
| dsuch | Could someome please point me in the right direction? Thank you. | 18:58 |
| dsuch | I can find it here but I am not sure if the Ubuntu package does not contain any customisations https://github.com/python/cpython/releases/tag/v3.6.9 | 19:00 |
| tomreyn | dsuch: there's no python 3.6.9 in 18.04 LTS | 19:05 |
| tomreyn | https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/python3 | 19:05 |
| dreamon | tomreyn, by the way. its a blender issue. blender2.82 works fine. | 19:06 |
| ducasse | dsuch: if you add source lines to sources.list you can download source packages with apt, though | 19:06 |
| tobra | seems like I run into troubles with the 20.04 installer…seems unable to partition my disk. | 19:08 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: type 'sudo parted -ls' and pastebin | 19:09 |
| dsuch | tomreyn: Somehow, I have Python 3.6.9 installed on the several Ubuntu 18.04 systems and I did not install anything from outside the default packages - that page ^^ is that what went into the release back in 2018 rather than what an upgrade today would install? Perhaps this is why it has only 3.6.7. | 19:09 |
| dsuch | ducasse: Ah, thanks, that is a great idea. | 19:09 |
| tobra | EriC^^ https://paste.debian.net/1154273/ | 19:10 |
| dsuch | tomreyn: Seems it here here https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3.6 | 19:10 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: what happens in the installr | 19:11 |
| elias_a | tomreyn: Permission denied. Nautilus does not ask for login credentials. I am able to open ssh session to the same server from terminal. | 19:11 |
| ducasse | dsuch: you should be able to enable source repos from the software & updates gui | 19:11 |
| ducasse | then just 'apt source packagename' | 19:12 |
| dsuch | ducasse: Yes, I understand it, this is good. | 19:12 |
| tobra | EriC^^ Errno 5 io-error | 19:12 |
| tobra | (after I tell the system to wipe my drive and use it to install) | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | dsuch: ah, sorry, that was me being dumb. so 3.6.9 it is | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | it's just the meta package having this lower version | 19:14 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: install smartmontools and run a smart test on the hdd | 19:14 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | 19:14 |
| ducasse | tomreyn: io error generally indicates a hardware problem, try to find out with which device | 19:15 |
| ducasse | tobra: ^^ | 19:15 |
| ducasse | sorry tomreyn :) | 19:15 |
| tobra | EriC^^ SMART Error Log Version: 1No Errors Logged | 19:15 |
| tomreyn | hehe, no problem there | 19:15 |
| tomreyn | dsuch: also note the "Download Source Package" links in the right column at https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/python3.6 | 19:16 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: type 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999' | 19:16 |
| tobra | https://termbin.com/19pl | 19:16 |
| tomreyn | dreamon: thanks for reporting back. | 19:17 |
| tomreyn | elias_a: i'd look for an existing bug report about this, and if you can't find one, file one. | 19:17 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: looks clean | 19:19 |
| tobra | yep. | 19:19 |
| EriC^^ | maybe the usb you're installing from is bad? | 19:19 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: are you letting it do the integrity verfication when ubuntu boots, or skipping it? | 19:19 |
| tobra | EriC^^not impossible. but self-check ran through alright. | 19:19 |
| elias_a | tomreyn: Thanks. Will do. :) | 19:20 |
| tobra | I ran it before I rebooted into this attempt. this time I skipped it | 19:20 |
| tobra | (forgut to plug in the hdd and had to reboot ;-)) | 19:20 |
| tobra | first time it self checked without complaints | 19:20 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: ok, try to create a fresh partition table using gdisk | 19:21 |
| tobra | on the hdd? | 19:21 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: sudo gdisk /dev/sda then press "o" then "w" , yeah if you want to erase the hdd's contents and have ubuntu instead on it only | 19:21 |
| tobra | yeah… can’t deactivate lvm there. doesn’ŧ let me. | 19:21 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: you should be able to write stuff to the partition table | 19:22 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: try sudo gdisk /dev/sda | 19:22 |
| tobra | ok | 19:22 |
| tobra | (was running gparted) | 19:22 |
| EriC^^ | gotcha | 19:23 |
| tobra | and now? I try the installer again? | 19:24 |
| tobra | hm… same error. | 19:25 |
| tobra | maybe rerun the stick’s self-test? | 19:27 |
| tobra | or make it again? checksum of the distro works out at least, so I’d be surprised if that’d be an issue, given that it runs and boots alright as well. | 19:28 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: did you do the "o" in gdisk followed by "w" | 19:28 |
| EriC^^ | ? | 19:28 |
| tobra | EriC^^ yeah: https://paste.debian.net/1154275/ | 19:28 |
| EriC^^ | tobra: ok try rebooting the live usb so everything's fresh, lvm, partition table etc | 19:29 |
| tobra | lsblk is now like this: | 19:29 |
| tobra | sda 8:0 0 2.7T 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1M 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 513M 0 part └─sda3 8:3 0 2.7T 0 part ├─vgubuntu-root 253:0 0 2.7T 0 lvm /target └─vgubuntu-swap_1 253:1 0 976M 0 lvm [SWAP] | 19:29 |
| tobra | guess I try the reboot | 19:30 |
| tobra | cya & thx already | 19:30 |
| ikarus987 | Hi guys how do i run ? game server | 19:31 |

| m0nk3y_b0y | Does anyone know why Youtube videos would play just fine in my Firefox (77.0.1) but Youtube livestreams won't play? (Ubuntu 20.04) | 19:41 |
| quadrathoch2 | m0nk3y_b0y they use different codecs. make sure you have them installed (can't remember which ones) | 20:14 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: What happens when you try to view the live streams? | 20:15 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | quadrathoch2: just installed ffmpeg, now trying to test but can't find a livestream | 20:22 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | Jordan_U: giving me an error: "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video." | 20:23 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | then I go to the link and it says my browser is fine | 20:23 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | if anyone has a livestream from a youtuber thats currently going where they are on cam talking live (not playing a video) let me know | 20:24 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: Can you watch this link in Firefox: https://s3.amazonaws.com/senkorasic.com/test-media/video/caminandes-llamigos/caminandes_llamigos_1080p.mp4 ? | 20:25 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | Jordan_U: its prompting me to download it | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: Does it prompt you to download this also: https://s3.amazonaws.com/senkorasic.com/test-media/video/caminandes-llamigos/caminandes_llamigos_720p.webm ? | 20:26 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | Jordan_U: no that one works | 20:26 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: OK, so you need h.264 support . I'm not sure what packages provide that for Firefox off hand, but you probably want support for it in other areas as well. | 20:27 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 20:28 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | Jordan_U: I read the same thing in another spot and they said to install ffmpeg for that... I did that but I guess its still not working | 20:28 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | Jordan_U: 20.04 | 20:28 |
| quadrathoch2 | m0nk3y_b0y 'sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras' should have that codec | 20:29 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | quadrathoch2: I'll try | 20:29 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: That package will also install other software, some of which is proprietary. You may or may not want that. The only thing that I would expect you might object to in that metapackage is Adobe Flash plugin. | 20:31 |
| Ann1ca | How does ansi color numbers work? | 20:33 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | Jordan_U: I restarted my browser and retried the mp4 link and it works now, I think the ffmpeg install worked I just forgot to restart the browser | 20:34 |
| Ann1ca | Trying to custimize colors for a BBS. SHould be colors in numbers betwen 0 an d 255 I think. But what number is what color ?? | 20:34 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: Or maybe it doesn't actually install flash on 20.04 and the description of the package just needs to be updated. | 20:34 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: Great! | 20:34 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | Jordan_U: but I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras then apt-get removed it before I restarted firefox ... not sure if it left some stuff which makes it work now | 20:35 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | assuming it was all removed | 20:35 |
| tomreyn | yes, that's why. you installed the gstreamer* packages this way, and those were needed | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | m0nk3y_b0y: Just removing the metapackage will do effectively nothing, as all of its dependencies are still installed and they're the packages that actually "do things". | 20:36 |
| Jordan_U | !metapackage | m0nk3y_b0y | 20:36 |
| ubottu | m0nk3y_b0y: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 20:36 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | tomreyn: you mean from the ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 20:37 |
| tomreyn | m0nk3y_b0y: yes. you can see what happened in /var/log/apt/history.log. on the very bottom you'll see oyu installed the meta pakcgae and all the other packages it depends on, then you removed just the meta package | 20:38 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | oh | 20:38 |
| tomreyn | you can run less /var/log/apt/history.log to view the file, then press 'G' to go to the end. | 20:39 |
| tomreyn | 'q' to quit the viewer | 20:39 |
| tomreyn | Jordan_U: sorry for jumping in there | 20:39 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | ok guess I'm good then | 20:41 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | thanks for the help from you guys | 20:42 |
| ikarus987 | Hi guys i am renting baremetal server. And i am about to do something that i am not sure it works so if something to happen i wanna be able to revert back | 20:42 |
| ikarus987 | is there a snapshot or some sort?.. that i can setup | 20:43 |
| ikarus987 | of# | 20:43 |
| tomreyn | ikarus987: there's lvm snapshotting, btrfs, zfs snapshotting. there is a software called 'timeshift' and some others (https://askubuntu.com/questions/647495/which-is-most-timemachine-like-backup-program-for-ubuntu) which try to make this user friendly. | 20:47 |
| tomreyn | personallly i prefer OS + configuration deployment via ansible, puppet, and infrastructure as code. but those are all somewhat advanced topics, as is the snapshot + restore process. | 20:49 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | got another issue, randomly firefox tabs will bring the app volume all the way to 0 .... earlier I set media.default_volume to 10.0 and medium.volume_scale to 3.0 in about:config to keep it from resetting to medium volume | 20:50 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | which works, but now it randomly resets volume to 0 | 20:50 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | not sure if anyone knows about that | 20:50 |
| m0nk3y_b0y | what I mean by it works is when I open and close firefox my app volume remains where I left it (which didnt happen before)... but then through the course of using the browser it will randomly set the app volume to 0 | 20:52 |
| tionebrr[m] | Hello folks. | 20:53 |
| tionebrr[m] | Got a weird issue here. | 20:53 |
| tionebrr[m] | wired LAN not working after a reboot. | 20:53 |
| tionebrr[m] | ubuntu server 18.04 | 20:53 |
| tomreyn | m0nk3y_b0y: there is a dedicated mozilla irc network, maybe you'll have better luck with such specific questions there. | 20:54 |
| tionebrr[m] | If anyone as an idea... don't know where to start troubleshooting. | 20:54 |
| tomreyn | tionebrr[m]: in your logs. journalctl -b | 20:55 |
| bparker | OMG. I did crontab -r by mistake instead of screen -r | 20:56 |
| bparker | and now my huge crontab has vanished without warning | 20:56 |
| bparker | is there any way to recover it ?? | 20:56 |
| tomreyn | tionebrr[m]: is this 18.04 fully updated? which kernel version are you running according to cat /proc/version ? | 20:56 |
| === strive is now known as sedlav | ||
| tomreyn | bparker: restore your backup of the relevant file(s) in /var/spool/cron | 20:57 |
| tomreyn | /var/spool/cron/crontabs | 20:58 |
| tionebrr[m] | tomreyn, I wish I could update, no network heh :P | 20:58 |
| tionebrr[m] | tomreyn 4.15 | 20:58 |
| tomreyn | tionebrr[m]: how are you accessing + managing this server? are you physically close to it, with keyboard and screen? | 20:59 |
| tionebrr[m] | I'm on it | 20:59 |
| tionebrr[m] | And live key working | 20:59 |
| tomreyn | or maybe you can provide it with an alternative network connection, such as wired tethering | 21:00 |
| bparker | tomreyn: gee thanks that really helps. if I had a backup I wouldn't be asking | 21:00 |
| tionebrr[m] | Yeah I'll try to get wifi up | 21:00 |
| bparker | why on earth does it default to NOT asking for confirmation?? | 21:00 |
| tomreyn | if it was that important you would probably have installed it in /etc/cron.d/ (and would have backups). | 21:02 |
| tomreyn | depending on the filesystem it is you might be able to do a full text search to recover the file | 21:03 |
| tomreyn | that's if you remember some of the contents | 21:03 |
| bparker | it was a user crontab so no it's not in /etc | 21:04 |
| bparker | I tried extundelete but it requires the filesystem be UNMOUNTED for some crazy reason | 21:04 |
| bparker | even if the result isn't being written to the same fs | 21:04 |
| bparker | and if I had to unmount it, it would cause even more writes and damage whatever might still be there | 21:04 |
| bparker | cause I have a bunch of open files and programs | 21:05 |
| tomreyn | testdisk contains photorec | 21:06 |
| tomreyn | there's also ext3grep, scalpel, and some others in the forensics-all meta package | 21:07 |
| tomreyn | i don't think any of those will work on a mounted file system, though | 21:08 |
| ikarus987 | why isn't timeshift ? in the ubuntu repository | 21:19 |
| ikarus987 | ....it seems like important app | 21:19 |
| tionebrr[m] | okay guys | 21:23 |
| tionebrr[m] | ensp5 and wlan mod seems to be loaded, but network-manager is not running and not found* | 21:23 |
| tionebrr[m] | I only see the local loopback on ifconfig | 21:24 |
| tionebrr[m] | can't see wlan in /dev also but not sure if normal | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | i don't think ubuntu server has all the parts needed to set up a wireless lan connection installed by default. | 21:30 |
| tionebrr[m] | Everything is working fine on a live key. Any idea | 21:31 |
| tomreyn | (but not *really* sure there) | 21:31 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu server uses systemd-networkd + netplan by default, not network-manager | 21:31 |
| tionebrr[m] | Yeah I guess you're right | 21:32 |
| jeremy31 | tionebrr[m]: might want to see if linux-modules-extra is installed | 21:32 |
| tionebrr[m] | okay will check status of those | 21:32 |
| tionebrr[m] | It was working before a reboot | 21:32 |
| jeremy31 | tionebrr[m]: that is where the wifi drivers come from | 21:32 |
| tionebrr[m] | Really... Was on ssh (wired), sudo reboot now, bye bye | 21:33 |
| tionebrr[m] | and never came back | 21:33 |
| tionebrr[m] | module extra is here | 21:34 |
| jeremy31 | tionebrr[m]: check in terminal> rfkill list | 21:34 |
| jeremy31 | it might be blocked | 21:34 |
| tionebrr[m] | I'm trying to get the wired connection up again, not the wifi | 21:35 |
| tionebrr[m] | rfkill is not installed | 21:35 |
| tionebrr[m] | weird thing in dmesg eth0 pointer is 0x<blank space> | 21:36 |
| tionebrr[m] | mac looks alright on the same line | 21:37 |
| jeremy31 | tionebrr[m]: Is it the r8168 ethernet device? | 21:38 |
| tionebrr[m] | yes | 21:39 |
| tionebrr[m] | 8169 actually | 21:39 |
| tionebrr[m] | I see both interface (wlan and eth) on ethtool | 21:40 |
| jeremy31 | tionebrr[m]: You might need the r8168-dkms package | 21:40 |
| tionebrr[m] | okay will try | 21:41 |
| tionebrr[m] | but yeah, no network heh :P | 21:42 |
| jeremy31 | tionebrr[m]: you might want to look into how to chroot from a Live ISO with working networking to update | 21:42 |
| tomreyn | or do the tethering | 21:44 |
| tionebrr[m] | got eth to appear in ifconfig with 'sudo ifconfig ensp5s0 up' command | 21:44 |
| tionebrr[m] | I don't understand how rebooting a system can lead to that | 21:44 |
| Jordan_U | tomreyn: (Reply to your "sorry for jumping in" comment from a while ago). No apology needed. You solved their problem and I just added a little context for what they might be, but weren't, concerned about. Seems like restricted-extras was exactly what they wanted, and will get them codec support for all of their apps rather than just some. | 21:45 |
| tionebrr[m] | Thank you guys, I don't have time to troubleshoot this in depth (as it looks like it is not a widely known problem). | 21:47 |
| tionebrr[m] | I'll just gather the data and crush the partition with another os. | 21:47 |
| tionebrr[m] | Thanks again 🙂 | 21:47 |
| bumblefuzz | I just tried to install ubuntu mate and selected full disk encryption | 21:59 |
| bumblefuzz | now, when I try to boot the machine just restarts | 21:59 |
| bumblefuzz | it only flashes some text briefly, so briefly that I can't read it | 22:00 |
| bumblefuzz | any idea why I get an immediate reboot instead of a working install? | 22:00 |
| elias_a | tomreyn: There was not anything exactly alike so I filed a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1885459 | 22:05 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1885459 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Nautilus does not ask for ssh login credentials" [Undecided,New] | 22:05 |

| bumblefuzz | do you have an ssh key listed in the authorized_keys file? | 22:14 |
| ikarus987 | is timeshift a gui only???? | 22:14 |
| ikarus987 | because i am trying to image ubuntu server version. i managed to install the timeshift. then i look around how to use it | 22:15 |
| ikarus987 | and its only in GUI the tutorials | 22:15 |
| elias_a | bumblefuzz: Apparently yes - at least in the installed system - as I am able to log in with SSH from CLI. | 22:19 |
| bumblefuzz | nautilus is probably not asking for credentials because it already has them (in the form of an authorized ssh key) | 22:20 |
| bumblefuzz | comment the key from the authorized list and try to use nautilus and see if it asks for a password | 22:21 |
| elias_a | The same behaviour happens also with Deja-Dup. | 22:22 |
| elias_a | bumblefuzz: And Nautilus on a freshly booted Live version does not connect with ssh. | 22:24 |
| elias_a | I think there's something broken that cause all GUI sw to fail when using ssh or sftp. I have to admit it is really odd this been not been reported so far if this really is a bug. | 22:28 |
| bumblefuzz | I'm trying to install ubuntu with FDE and I can't get my system to boot | 22:32 |
