[00:02] why is lubuntu 20 only mentioned on lubuntu.me and not the other site [00:05] Settings, Sound, Applications - shows apps that are using sound. is there something similar for web cam? [00:15] Is it possible to check the status of do-release-upgrade? I didn't include the -d option and it's been about 4 hours now. [00:16] TenLeftFingers: What [00:16] TenLeftFingers: ... What's the last ouptu you saw from it? [00:17] "Inhibiting until Ctrl + C is pressed ..." [00:18] (before that line was "To continue please press [ENTER]" [00:19] there doesn't seem to be much disk activity [00:20] TenLeftFingers: Are you doing this from ssh, from a graphical terminal, a text only tty, or something else? Do you have screen or tmux installed? [00:20] I'm using a terminal on the laptop [00:20] But I see now that I still needed to press enter (!) [00:20] I thought the next line of output meant that I had already done that [00:21] Now it's fetching [00:22] Can I shutdown after packages have downloaded / before installation? [00:22] can i safely install libffi both 0.6 and 0.7 on the same machine? [00:22] on ubuntu 20.04lts, how do i get 0.6 using apt? [00:27] pymagic: There seem to be two separate packages, libffi6 and libffi7, and they don't seem to conflict with each other (at least not directly). That means that the Debian and Ubuntu devs think that you should be able to have both installed at once. [00:28] Jordan_U, thanks [00:28] pymagic: You're welcome. [00:28] Jordan_U, libffi-dev - I only see that when I use apt-cache search [00:28] where do you see 6 and 7 indepedently? [00:33] Would someone be a sweetheart and give me a link to something that explains regular expressions. I want to rename some file names and if I don't specifically know what I'm doing I'm going to mess up so I need to review everything. [00:34] I'm just going to remove this and leave that. [00:34] tripelb: Are you looking for a GUI tool or command line? [00:34] Oh command line please. Gooey is much too complicated for me. [00:35] Not only do I have to figure out how Bosch thinks but then I have to figure out how that programmer thought. [00:35] It said bash, I saw it but then The great mighty Google decided to change it [00:36] tripelb: This might be a helpful introduction. https://www.howtogeek.com/423214/how-to-use-the-rename-command-on-linux/ [00:36] I've been looking at a couple of those and they weren't it. [00:37] I don't know for sure anymore how to specify five more characters, or look for the next open parentheses. [00:37] Ah... you need something more focused on regex rather than the command line tool then? [00:38] It's going to do the exact same thing to every single line so I don't need any logic. [00:38] That's what I figure gildarts [00:39] I like that You have an oz name and I just used an oz reference [00:39] tripelb: I would google for "bash regex". Also, join #bash [00:39] Ok. [00:39] tripelb: careful in #bash though. They're not nice, but they do know what they're doing. [00:40] tripelb; google for sed, could be helpful aswell [00:40] tripelb: Also, you can use https://regex101.com/ or similar to see how a regular expression is processing. [00:40] I'm an old lady and I remember none of Linux used to be nice. I gave up. The first time I tried it I had 27 discs of slackware [00:41] I've been meaning to learn sed for about 5 years [00:42] Anyway I'm very happy with the first result I got from bash regex -- Knowing what to Google is the first step. I'll come back after I've absorbed this one if I need any help. And thanks [00:46] ooboyleo gildarts... It's a test setup at regex101.com-- very cool. The guy who's asking me doesn't have an internet connection. He's in some dipshit Valley in the mountains of Oregon. [01:00] on my new ubuntu 20.04 install , python3.8 - arrow yes have stopped working - any ideas on how to fix this? perhaps something to do with readline/terminal?

[02:01] I have a game, Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition from GOG, that is crashing because it's looking for libssl.so.1.0.0 and can't find it because I have version 1.1. Is there a way I can fix this? [02:02] I'm running 20.04 LTS [02:09] lots of forumposts about that "ubuntu Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition libssl.so.1.0.0" ... [02:09] bad idea, IMHO, to use such old and vulnerable libssl.so.1.0.0 .... [02:09] a fix, just read, https://www.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/baldurs_gate_enhanced_edition_on_fedora_linux [02:10] or this https://www.gog.com/forum/baldurs_gate_series/linux_version_openssl_mismatch/post8 [02:10] one better ask GOG to fixs it. [02:13] Ah, I should have thought to look on the GOG forums [02:13] That last one was a quick and effective fix, though, so thank you for helping me fix it [02:13] AHemlocksLie, have fun! === bocaneri is now known as Sauvin [03:18] Hi, I have an Ubuntu server with a ufw firewall. I open up several standard ports 80, 443, 25. When I do ufw status, I see that the correct ports are open. When I nmap from another ubuntu server, I see the correct ports open, however when I do nmap from my MacBookAir - it shows a whole bunch of open ports, including 21, 554, 7070. Does anyone know [03:18] what this means? Is it my ISP mucking with traffic? [03:20] yes, but the ports are closed, example article; https://serverfault.com/questions/330571/nmap-on-my-webserver-shows-tcp-ports-554-and-7070-open [03:21] no worries.

I'm havin issues when I delete the config dir and reinstall the application. It's not creating the config files. I'm messing around with ansible, and 'reseting' a machine by deleting the config files [04:35] am I missing some other file/record that thinks the config files should be there and doesn't create them on a reinstall uninstall/install? [04:36] biggtimber: perhaps the #ansible channel knows the fine tuning about the config? [04:37] happens with apt as well. [04:37] on the kibana package [04:38] I remove the package with apt, delete the config folder '/etc/kibana/', and run the install again (either in ansible or apt). The config files are not ther.e [04:38] just didn't know if I'm missing something general that you need to change if you delete the config files. [04:38] biggtimber: did you check your /home folder for config files? [04:39] hidden folders on and .config ? [04:39] checking [04:40] doesn't seem to be anything in there related to this. [04:41] .config only has 'htop' in there, and there is no .kibana file [04:41] biggtimber: some apps, would also need a command to create a first time config [04:41] ah [04:41] let me look [04:42] /usr/share/kibana ?

[04:48] biggtimber: its not the snap you installed? [04:49] no [04:50] biggtimber: maybe a reboot? [04:51] possible. rebooting. better not be that. lol [04:53] nope. still an empty directory.

So ctrl+a followed by typing the character 'c' will start a new shell. ctrl+a followed by '3' will bring you to the 3rd "screen", if you have one. [05:45] I have a problem.

(I couldnt) [06:04] ^^^^ next question. [06:05] oerheks (i did see that You said I can disable it per domain name) [06:08] tripelb: there are category selection buttons: make sure 'All' or 'Media' is selected [06:09] tripelb: "youtube-dl https://URL_of_video_here" [06:12] tripelb: If you need to log in to be able to view the video, you'll need to log in with youtube-dl as well, using the --username option (don't use the --password option, instead let youtube-dl prompt you for the passsword. Any time you enter a password as a parameter it's visible to all other users via "ps aux" and will also be kept in plain text in your bash history. [06:14] tripelb: Though, please don't this or any other tool / trick to do something unethical. Think about why the person that posted it made it private and with a time limit, and consider if it's ethical to ignore their desires for either of those things. [06:17] alexrelis: No I don't.

[07:03] googling that [07:04] will it backup the machine? [07:04] like an image? [07:04] ikarus987: It will use rsync to create a fully-encrypted image of the system with preserved permissions.

[07:07] because the providers of the server only offer fresh reinstall of the OS [07:07] hmm alexrelis [07:08] ikarus987: Yes. [07:09] k [07:51] Where does GNOME save accepted ssh fingerprints? [07:55] maybe ~/.ssh/known_hosts [07:59] deltab: Thanks! [08:02] Hi guys, running kde neon [08:02] i noticed this [08:02] elias_a: it also make your system seem less magical to know it's ssh storing this there and not GNOME [08:03] it also may make* [08:03] Suspend was interrupted by packagekit and system freezed [08:03] Couldnot do anuthing but hard reboot [08:03] Logs's here https://pastebin.com/UXxU0pfV [08:18] Here https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2446342&p=13968795#post13968795 [08:18] Hope someone follow this [08:30] hay207, you might want to report this to #kde-neon-users, or #kubuntu, but kubuntu uses backports, not neon [08:31] Ok [08:31] Sometimes 'apt install somepackage' lists packages to be installed and asks you to press Y to proceed, sometimes it just installs automatically. I think it's based on download size or maybe number. How can I force it to prompt me to confirm every time? Sometimes I just want to preview what packages a command is gonna pull. [08:34] rangergord, depends on the dependencies, one can run apt install -d to do a dryrun [08:35] thanks [08:37] And a 2nd question: if I'm apt installing multiple packages, it proposes a large list of packages to install. My packages, their dependencies, their dependencies' dependencies. In the final list, I see a package that I want to know which of those I requested is responsible for installing, and how. It's not a direct dependency of the ones I asked to install, and the full list is 500+ packages. Is there some quick way, given [08:37] 'apt install ', to find which one is gonna pull random-package? Or do I have to trial and error my apt install command one by one? [08:37] basically redepends, but all the way to the top [08:38] *rdepends [08:38] yes, install one by one, or do some research for that packages on launchpad [08:39] rangergord: only way i know of is that afterwards you can use 'aptitude why packagename' which will tell you which package requires that one [08:39] apt-cache depends package-name [09:34] small feedback: I really like the sound when trying to install ubuntu :) [09:38] DarkTrick: you are part of the community, file a wishlist !bug as you wish [09:39] lotuspsychje, :D I'm not sure if understood me right. I was not claiming anything :) [09:40] DarkTrick: oh, well thats because we are in the support channel, we expect questions [09:41] lotuspsychje, sorry. indeed.

Just installed ubuntu, and for some reason I cannot set my HDMI monitor to 1080p 60. Despite it working fine on windows i can only set it to 24hz [12:22] yeah but i was more looking into something more advaned like creating autmated snapshots every day, before/after each apt usage etc [12:22] the install was pretty straight forward using the ubuntu installer [12:23] and i've heared some good stuff so far about zsys [12:27] BluesKaj, it's my home network. I'm running ubuntu and a pi4 with debian buster. the pi4 is running pihole to block ads but the ubuntu system is still seeing ads when the DNS is set to the 192.168.0.225.... [12:29] Deano59, why 192.168.0.225, that's an internal address [12:30] yes, that's the pihole network. [12:30] nyvia: is your graphics card loaded correclty? [12:31] Deano59, IME it's always best to set DNS in your router [12:31] BluesKaj, can't be done, a family doesn't want to use the adblocker. [12:31] a family member* [12:32] plus my router doesn't support setting a dns server. crappy ISP router. [12:33] Deano59, I used pihole for a while but think adblockers work better if that's all you want it for [12:33] BluesKaj, that's not my question and completely offtopic. [12:34] Deano59, you can try setting your DNS in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf [12:35] BluesKaj, tried that and it's the same, it's "ignored" for whatever reason. [12:36] Deano59: is there any difference in adblocking if the pihole is NOT configured for use?...can you ping 192.168.0.225?? [12:36] tatertots, the pihole is configured fine. I can ping it yes. [12:37] I have set my phone's DNS to 192.x.x.x and it blocks ads correctly. it's ubuntu that's the problem. [12:38] Deano59: have you confirmed the pihole is used for name resolution? [12:38] ... yes. [12:38] Is there an easy way to change the font size of title bar in ubuntu 20.04lts? gnome-tweaks does not work [12:38] pymagic: try dconf-editor [12:39] Deano59: in terminal> nslookup google.com [12:39] Deano59: that shows the ip of pihole correct? [12:39] no, it does NOT. [12:39] lotuspsychje, aye GPU seems to be working okay, graphics are working just fine [12:40] Server: 192.168.0.1 Address: 192.168.0.1#53 [12:40] like I said it's being ignored for whatever reason. [12:40] lotuspsychje, what do i change in dconf-editor? [12:40] tatertots, ^ [12:40] pymagic: there's a handy search function in dconf-editor try keyword: font [12:41] lotuspsychje, thanks. Which variable should i be changing? there are a lot of hits for font [12:42] Deano59: that nslookup actually isn't super useful, as your own machine can come back listed as the DNS... then your machine asks the proper DNS when something isn't already in cache. I'm not sure which version of ubuntu you are using, but... do you have nmcli ? are you fully using DHCP? [12:43] If you have nmcli, Deano59 , you can try 'nmcli device show enp3s0 | grep IP4.DNS' while replacing the enp3s0 with what's relevant for your NIC [12:43] JimBuntu: ubuntu 20.04 LTS. idk if I'm fully using DHCP. [12:44] JimBuntu: it says this IP4.DNS[1]: 192.168.0.1 [12:44] Deano59: Well, if you aren't fully DHCP and you are relying on DHCP to set the DNS, then that could be the issue. If you manually change your network on that specific Ubuntu machine to IP-Only instead of full, then you can manually enter the DNS address for it to use [12:44] Deano59: you'll need to manually configure nameservers [12:44] how do I do that JimBuntu ? [12:44] tatertots: it's manually configured though. [12:44] Deano59: do it via terminal [12:45] Sorry Deano59, I don't use 20.04 other than when I played with it and it worked fine with my Pi-Hole set up. I'm sure someone can walk you through it though [12:45] tatertots: 192.168.0.225 is configured. [12:45] Deano59: adding the ip of pihole via the GUI network manager didn't result in the desired result [12:45] It's set with /etc/systemd/resolved.conf [12:45] tatertots: see above... [12:45] hm [12:46] tatertots: I know it didn't give the desired result because it's not working. -.- [12:48] lotuspsychje, I tried gnome-tweaks and dconf-editor - both cant change the title bar size? [12:49] any thoughts on what is going wrong? Also my system fonts look tiny [12:52] sorted it tatertots I had to remove ifupdown. :) [12:52] working now! :D [12:53] Deano59: good deal [12:54] Does have any ideas for the problem i asked earlier? Sorry to be pushy ^_^ [12:56] nyvia: are you chatting from the computer right now? [12:56] I am!

[13:12] It's just an old TV I'm using as my second screen [13:12] never had any issues with it [13:12] tatertots: ignore that last message, it's NOT working. I remove ifupdown and dnsqmaq and I get no internet until I remove dnsqmaq. still seeing ads. but... nmcli device show eth0 | grep IP4.DNS shows IP4.DNS[2]: 192.168.0.225 what's causing it? [13:13] nyvia: your monitor has EDID quirks [13:14] nyvia: if you care to read about it see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#Monitor_Quirking:__drm_edid.c [13:16] So is there no solution for this? I swear I haven't had a problem with it on previous linux installs [13:16] nyvia: so 1080/24P is as good as it's going to get with that TV [13:16] nyvia: you could try making a custom modeline but even that may result in 1080/24P [13:17] Super odd since it works fine on windows hm [13:19] nyvia: not very odd, apples vs oranges comparison....windows is NOT Linux and vice versa [13:19] Of course, I wasn't trying to say it SHOULD work, sorry [13:20] Deano59: are you using a dynamic ip or static ip? [13:21] I was, and now I disabled that and it is working. cheers. :) [13:21] tatertots: my adblock test site now says We can’t connect to the server at googleads.g.doubleclick.net. :) [13:21] yay, go me! :D [13:26] Deano59: sounds like you got it working consistently now :) [13:26] yeah, pain in the backside though. xD [13:44] does `apt-mirror` support multiple versions of Ubuntu (i.e. 16.04, 18.04, 20.04) at the same time? [13:51] your mirror source should ony support the OS you're using [13:53] ah, darn. I am in the process of setting up a local mirror at work for our servers, but the documentation is unclear about whether or not you can support multiple OSs with a single mirror. [13:54] BluesKaj: so I would have to deplay, say, one 16.04 server to act exclusively as a 16.04 mirror, one 18.04 server to ... ? [13:54] nukke: Aptly does. [13:54] kyle__: interesting! never heard of this before. [13:54] I don't know muhc about the setup portion of it, but we use it at work, and keep an overly of 2-3 versions at once. [13:55] 2 normally, 3 if we're in the process of upgrading to a new release. [13:56] nukke, 18.04 server supports 18.04 packages/deb files only, you cant mix and match with 16,04 packages for example without negative effects to your system [13:58] !apt-mirror [13:58] !info apt-mirror [13:59] apt-mirror (source: apt-mirror): APT sources mirroring tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.4-1 (focal), package size 13 kB, installed size 65 kB [14:00] kyle__: we mostly have 18.04 at work, but there are some lingering 16.04 (and 14.04) ones around that we still need to update. [14:01] I'll have to check out `aptly`. `apt-mirror` is the first and only result that shows up when searching "create local ubuntu mirror" [14:02] nukke, sorry, misunderstood your question to some degree ...was afraid you were trying mix and match different OS sources, ...apt-mirror can mirror whole or in part of your OS [14:03] BluesKaj: my apologies. yeah, I was talking about creating a local repository mirror for our servers. that is, have that mirror server serve packages to various Ubuntu versions (16.04 and above) [14:04] it was unclear in the `apt-mirror` documentation whether or not the mirror could serve packages for more than one version. [14:05] kyle__: how resource heavy is running a local repo mirror (excluding bandwidth utilization)? === nb-ben is now known as Guest91398 [14:12] CPU & memory, not too much. Disk space wise, it can take a bit. [14:13] If you do a mass install, of all the hosts at once for instance, yes, that will grind it to a halt. But even the most minor of staggering will solve that. (also, how often do you install the os on almost your entire environment at once?) [14:18] we have ~50 Ubuntu servers that we update monthly. at the moment we're doing 3 at a time since we're using external mirrors. [14:22] nukke wouldn't apt-cacher-ng make sense? idk, how often you download the same packages [14:26] apt-cacher-ng is amazing. Aptly and other local mirror setups are usually best when you want to have your own internal packages, and or your external connection is for shit. [14:27] (or you are in a super paranoid situation where you dont' trust the outside) [14:27] quadrathoch2: this might work even better! for the most part, all servers are downloading the same packages. [14:30] nukke as I thought ;) and you wouldn't need like 6tb of storage [14:30] (for 3 ubuntu versions) [15:04] when creating a bootable usbstick with dd is there a way use a url as the input file instead of using a local file? [15:09] analogical: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20702812/how-to-download-a-linux-image-unzip-it-and-write-it-to-an-sd-card-in-one-line [15:12] leftyfb, huh? [15:13] analogical: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20754484 [15:13] please use those as examples. Look at curl/wget man page for how to output to stdout [15:14] analogical: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/315142 [15:14] analogical: I googled for "curl iso to dd" [15:22] leftyfb, thanks for the links [15:23] but I must say that the man pages for curl a wget are wothless [15:30] the documentation (or lack thereof) is the worst part about linux [15:33] man pages are just gibberish to users like me, no examples is a fail IMO [15:35] they often aim for comprehensive and succinct, not for ease of reading [15:36] it's uncommon to find a balance that works for everyone [15:36] analogical: anything I can do to help? [15:38] deltab: Look at the old mplayer man page. Probably went too far in the opposite direction [15:39] Can i make curl to also show the source which is involed with "curl wttr.in", or is that just the same as https://wttr.in from webbrowser? [15:40] I think wttr.in uses some logic to see if it's a browser or not. === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [15:41] The curl output _is_ the unrendered, unadulterated response from the server. Just without the headers by default [15:43] yeah, i was thinking it had to be different one way or another. [15:44] yeah, the colour markup, the link [15:45] see wttr.in/:help for options [15:46] or https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in [15:46] :D thnx deltab! [15:46] I gotta say even years after it's release, it still impresses the hell out of me. [16:22] it's amazing that you can use curl to create a bootable usbstick from a url without having to download the iso to the harddrive [16:51] Hi all, I'm running 20.04 (apt up to date), and all installed Electron apps (admittedly all third party -- Slack and Riot via Flatpak, and Keybase via deb) are extremely sluggish; any idea why, or how to tackle this? By sluggish, I mean that keystrokes take hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds to register. === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [16:53] The same machine did not have this problem under 19.10, other apps (Firefox, Emacs, FreeCAD, Zoom, etc.) do not seem to be problematic [16:53] Even chromium is fine. [16:58] anyone know why a default install of postgres would give me: could not access private key file "/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key": Permission denied [16:59] I do understand I can add postgres to the ssl-cert group and stuff, but why would a default install have this issue? [17:00] oh maybe I broke my postgres groups.. yikes [17:05] yeah.. a usermod -g overwrote it.. psi. [17:05] thanks [17:25] Is it hard to change kernel from 5.4 to 5.6 for my needs? I'm reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [17:27] Or maybe I could get some ubuntu super-alpha-testing iso with kernel 5.6+? [17:28] denixx|h1: found on google by searching "kernel 5.6" [17:30] oops, forgot the link [17:30] kernel 5.6http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/03/install-kernel-5-6-ubuntu-linux-mint/ [17:32] Found this too, but was afraid this thing is "harder than simple dpkg", so asked before doing, you know. [17:32] Thanks, would try to. [17:33] denixx|h1: is there a reason you need 5.6 over 5.4? [17:35] Yep. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=84d49b3d08a1d33690cc159036f381c31c27c17b [17:35] Hans said it's available in 5.6 [17:40] hi [17:41]
