[00:26] Intel wifi also works really well [00:28] Broadcom is the main problem for wifi chips, I think. Too bad that's all Apple seems to use but then again Apple laptops tend to be a pain to get working with Linux in general [00:28] indeed, not that expensive to replace a BCM or ATH thingy [00:29] They've started soldering them in these days, some devices you can't replace it [00:29] when i find an ewaste laptop with one, i tear them out. [00:30] Some others have a whitelist in the BIOS/UEFI of allowed replacements so you can't put in anything you want, it has to be a model from that list [00:39] also asking here just in case it is something ubuntu specific [00:40] what could be the reasons for a usb device to simply not be recognized at all, regardless of how many times I plug it in and out, nothing logged even in dmesg...and then once you reboot with it still connected...poof it works like normal?

[02:45] it dims everytime i plug it in, even tho i have the brightness all the way up in gnome settings [02:49] hey all [02:50] it would make sense doing it when you unplug it, not the other way around.. [02:50] hey [02:51] p0wder: how about, plug it in, set the new desired setting, immediately unplug it.. [02:51] p0wder: I wonder if it's smart enough to save on state change and retain that for next time? [02:51] let me try real quick [02:52] fixed my media keys [02:52] `killall gsd-media-keys` did it for me. [02:52] nope.. its got to be a bios setting or something [02:52] nice k! [02:52] but why was that even necessary... [02:53] hey all [02:53] brighness was all the way up, unplugged and it dimmed but brightness still said all the way up, i slid it back and forth and the brightness went back up [02:54] maybe i should try logging in with gnome on xorg instead of wayland? [02:55] hey swift [02:55] good idea [02:55] k. gonna try. brb [02:57] nope.. same thing [02:58] :( [02:58] are any bios updates available via fwupdmgr?

[09:43] ne2k: that's a good thought - yes, it could be [09:44] TJ-, I did read soemthing like that about a particular card on another thread. let me fiddle with cables.

(I'm really not sure, though) [13:10] Ah, "export QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" appears to have done the trick [13:13] Hello everyone! I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I have a two monitor setup configuration (the main monitor uses DisplayPort and the secondary uses DVI). When in the main monitor I change the input source to something else, and then I choose DisplayPort again, Ubuntu sets the monitor as "off" until I reactivate it from the settings [13:14] For example if I change the input source to play a console game, then return to my pc source (displayport) the screen stays black because Ubuntu has "disabled" my monitor, until I enable it again from gnome settings or nvidia x server settings [13:14] This is very annoying :c any idea of how can I fix it? [13:14] johnsmith92: wich nvidia chipset and driver version please? [13:15] Driver version is 440.100 and I am not sure about the cipset, I am using Nvidia GTX 1080 [13:17] If that's the meaning of nvidia chipset? I just know how the GPU model [13:18] johnsmith92: did you try a driver switch yet? [13:20] lotuspsychje: like a rollback? I am using the latest driver version I think [13:21] johnsmith92: no, its not a rollback, its just 440 has several bugs currently, its more to test if it influences your issue [13:21] johnsmith92: a switch to 435 for example [13:22] johnsmith92: if its a hybrid optimus card, please also check nvidia-settings for prime [13:23] what's a hybrid optimus card? I am running a GTX 1080 (desktop, just in case) [13:23] I can try the switch to 435 [13:23] johnsmith92: ok, then its not your case, nevermind the last [13:24] do I have to uninstall the current driver first or it will get uninstalled automatically when I install the new one? [13:24] johnsmith92: from software&sources/tab additional drivers you can do the switch & reboot if you like [13:27] lotuspsychje: perfect! applying the 435 driver right now, i will tell you if it still happens in a bit [13:27] johnsmith92: great, good luck === londoed is now known as londoed|work [13:30] lotuspsychje: wow! that did the trick, thanks a lot! [13:30] johnsmith92: welcome [13:31] I thought 440.100 was the most stable LTS one [13:32] johnsmith92: well ubuntu-drivers is indeed suppose to pick the best driver for your cards chipset, but as 20.04 has also still some bugs to solve till 20.04.1 things are still going wrong for the 440 [13:33] Oh! that makes a lot of sense, thanks! [13:34] I have another question besides that one as well, I have a program that has Ctrl + Alt + T assigned to an option but I use the same shortcut for opening the system shell. [13:35] Is there any way I can rebind that key combination without touching the program itself? It does not allow to change the shortcuts [13:36] johnsmith92: systemsettings/hotkeys should give you the list [13:36] Im sorry, I think I did not explain myself well === dominic35 is now known as dominic34 [13:37] I mean like, making the program recognise a key combination as Ctrl Alt T [13:37] without pressing Ctrl Alt T physically, kind of injecting the keystrokes into it [13:39] johnsmith92: does it not ask to record a new combo on terminal in systemsettings/hotkeys for you? [13:40] lotuspsychje: Yes! but I dont want to change the shortcut that I am using for the system shell [13:41] Id like to do something like, Ctrl + Alt + A maps to Ctrl + Alt + T (without activating the Ctrl + Alt + T action) [13:41] johnsmith92: you could try dconf-editor to see if your other program allows to change hotkeys [13:42] or maybe other volunteers know a handy keymap package [13:44] Oh, unfortunately it doesn't :c thanks anyway for the idea [13:49] coconut: any more luck with your wifi? [13:54] hey lotuspsychje, i tried to sudo apt install linux-oem-osp1 like you mentioned, but so far i could see in two reboots, that does not make a difference. I am going to make the changes from TJ-ś webpage today. I just need to know first whether i can just download and execute his script without readind it.(i am not a good bash reader). [14:01] "GNOME Terminal is a terminal emulator application" I have 1 window with 2 tabs. in one tab I can use the mouse wheel to scroll up and see what was printed that scrolled off the screen.... [14:02] the 2nd tab mouse wheel is like up arrow and brings back bash history [14:02] how do I scroll? [14:03] CarlFK: what is in the 2nd window? A connection to some other device? [14:04] leftyfb: I did make a connection, but dropped it and I am back at my laptops's shell [14:05] CarlFK: ok, then it got into a weird state. Either close the tab and open a new one or type "reset". Either way, you'll lose the history of that tab [14:05] this happens often enough that I;d like to know whats going on [14:06] CarlFK: sounds like whatever you're connecting to isn't closing the connection properly [14:06] also: first tab I can grab a little sized "thumb?" on the scroll bar and drag it up and down, 2nd the thumb is the height of the window, so no where to move [14:07] CarlFK: you could try opening something like screen first, then connecting. Then you can use ctrl+a [ and then scroll up [14:08] CarlFK: you can also set the scroll history size in the settings of gnome terminal [14:13] leftyfb: screen doesn't tell me what is going on. I have ssh connections drop all the time, like when my network drops, and I can still scroll [14:14] Howdy folks [14:15] coconut: ok, good luck [14:31] CarlFK, does the 2nd tab even have a scrollback right now? [14:32] cause what you described happens in KDE Konsole when there isn't enough in the terminal to scroll [14:41] I need disable rescue and emergency mode, can I just do: systemctl disable rescue and systemctl disable emergency? [14:41] try it and see? [14:42] is there a safe non snap repo for chromium about? [14:43] I'm constantly fighting it as a snap, today's fun: snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks: Operation not permitted [14:43] what's "chromium about"? [14:44] if you just mean regular chromium, is the apt version of chromium not recent enough or did they remove that? [14:45] https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/chromium-browser still exists [14:46] actually wait, why is that a dummy package [14:46] TomyWork that's snap. [14:46] ok that makes no sense at all, wtf is wrong with ubuntu these days [14:47] https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/firefox at least firefox is still okay [14:47] That's not chromium :) [14:48] and yes, ubuntu is getting to be the hottest of messes [14:48] yeah i dont use chromium, i was just checking if the browser i use was still okay [14:49] literally no one wants snap, why the fuck do they keep porting more and more stuff to it? [14:50] it's just a colossal waste of disk space from all the duplicate libraries [14:52] Sorry, misread your firefox comment. [15:02] TomyWork, watch the language please [15:03] ok, but you're not a moderator [15:03] TomyWork: Doesn't matter if they're a moderator, they're just asking you to respect the rules of the channel. [15:04] TomyWork: I do agree with you regarding the snap stuff, though. [15:04] and i said ok [15:28] hello [15:28] there are no national characters in nano. All I get is ^y, ^g, ^e and similar. [15:28] what's wrong?

[15:44] cause my kids use that to bypass mid-night rules [15:44] i need let him to reboot the machine(so no grub password etc) but not to modify root passwords [15:45] rr123: https://askubuntu.com/a/186794 first result on google for "ubuntu disable rescue mode" [15:45] uh oh, We are currently offline for maintenance [15:45] oh damn, that JUST happened [15:45] jups [15:45] when I refreshed it [15:45] ... [15:46] it still boots into rescue(or emergency) after I change ExecStart in rescue.service, strnage [15:46] and we are back \0/ [15:46] I need set the line su-login-shell to something that demands a password of root [15:46] rr123: please click on the link I sent you [15:47] #GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" and run sudo update-grub [15:47] nothing beats a live iso there .. [15:48] oerheks: which you can disable by BIOS password [15:48] until my kid learned discharge BIOS battery that is [15:48] smart kids btw. Personally I'd just let them at this point. They'll probably just work around anything you throw at them [15:49] leftyfb: not when they do tetris overnight then sleep to 4pm [15:51] rr123: could try an ubuntu kiosk method [15:51] rr123: if he's got physical access, he wins. don't sweat it. [15:52] lotuspsychje: that's too restricted in a good day for him, I just want to make sure he got some sleep after mid-night at this point [15:52] Just turn off the breaker that powers the computer [15:53] rr123: just play with his head. ie. implement some notifications so HE gets a text message if he logs on afterhours. [15:54] with all these stay-at-home-for-ever going on, how to manage computer/online hours for school kids become a headache for many [15:54] rr123: my parents used to put the keyboards and mice in the vault to control my use. [15:54] it is a business opportunity probably :) [15:54] rr123: computer in a shared space is usually better [15:54] put the router under your pillow [15:55] bios password, disable grub entrance, create limited user, dont share sudo, kiosk browser [15:55] he is old enought I just let him move out the study room(shared with me and can be locked after mid-night), since moved-out the rescue-mode became a necessity [15:55] ^^ [15:56] anyway, GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true can help rescue mode, but probably not "emergency" mode, trying [15:58] ok that just removed "rescue" item from the advanced-boot-options under grub [15:59] I can easily add it back in normal grub hit a 'e' [15:59] so far there is no way to disable rescue/emergency boot [15:59] now going to remove rescue.service and emergency.service files [15:59] brutal force that is [16:01] ok that worked, it freezes the whole system :) [16:01] I renamed those two files [16:14] Hi guys, I am running Ubuntu Server 20.04 on a RPi 3B+. I am trying to connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, I am using blueman. Can anyone assist in how to do this.

[16:14] Any ideas? === simonious is now known as Simonious [16:24] how can i find out which modules are missing from a kernel i compiled? i know some are missing because the kernel doesn't boot and it says "Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)" [16:26] When I compare the different modules from a kernel that boots to this one that i compiled, there are a *lot* of modules that are not present, more than could possibly be responsible for the failure to boot [16:26] How do I slim down the diff to figure exactly which module(s) are causing the problem? [16:32] mathnewb: why are you compiling your own kernel? [16:33] Orcs53_: are you using server command line, or did you install a DE? [16:34] I am using a desktop environment, qwm. I have installed bluez and blueman, I have been trying to use these tools to pair the input devices. [16:36] leftyb: to see if i can reproduce a bug [16:36] i'm having a dns issue with openvpn on ubuntu 20.04 - this seems to be a resolv.conf / systemd resolver conflict [16:37] "/etc/resolv.conf" points to "/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf" [16:38] Orcs53_: did you check of the systemd service of BT has loaded correctly?

[16:39] some ubuntu forum posts suggest symlinking to resolv.conf rather than stub-resolv.conf, but others state that is the wrong approach [16:39] any suggestions on how to resolve this [16:40] malwar3hun73r systemd-resolved listens on 127.0.0.53:53 which is what stub-resolv.conf points to, what problem are you having with that? [16:40] not sure exactly, i just know that i have no dns [16:41] check systemd-resolve --status [16:41] systemd-resolve --status shows the correct values both for VPN tunnel and primary interface [16:41] lotuspsychje bluetooth.service is enabled and running. [16:41] you want to look for the dns info in the resolved status [16:41] make sure that's correct [16:42] Orcs53_: could you: journalctl -f and plug in your BT devices and pastebin the produced output please? [16:42] ddstreet, i can ping the DNS server, so i know it's accessible [16:42] does resolved list it as the current dns server for any of the links? [16:43] you can try systemd-resolve query as well to see if resolved is able to look up stuff [16:43] sorry just 'systemd-resolve HOSTNAME' like systemd-resolve google.com [16:43] ddstreet, ok, so it just started working wtf. i spent the last hour troubleshooting/reading and haven't changed any config [16:44] lol there ya go [16:44] i think the only thing i may have changed was adding "up-restart" to my openvpn config [16:45] lotuspsychje, FYI here is some of the log output for the bluetooth service. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/43yy2kFFXY/ I'll get the other information now. [16:46] ddstreet, ok, dns started working but i was no longer able to reach the resources through the VPN [16:47] ddstreet, i restarted openvpn, could once again ping, but now no DNS [16:47] Orcs53_: yeah, that doesnt seem too good indeed [16:47] and you checked 'systemd-resolve --status' [16:48] ddstreet, yeah, that shows the correct info with the EXCEPTION that "current dns server" is incorrect [16:48] well there you go [16:48] the "DNS servers" value lists the correct servers, but the current one is wrong [16:48] how do you fix that? [16:48] it apparently fixed itself previously [16:50] lotuspsychje: that's the goal. i am trying to see if this panic will happen on the vanilla kernel too or if it's ubuntu specific. but i can't get the vanilla kernel to boot into my ubuntu userland. my theory is this particular piece of hardware needs some non free driver..it's an old dell server.. that the ubuntu kernel has compiled in and that the mainstream kernel might not have enabled by default? I'm not sure though. [16:51] if there is a better forum to ask this question then i'm sorry. i am new to kernel dev. [16:52] mathnewb: well we reccomend to use the !mainline kernels to test things on ubuntu, for more expertise try #ubuntu-kernel for the commits etc [16:52] ok ty [16:52] !contribute | mathnewb see also [16:52] mathnewb see also: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu [16:52] mathnewb: the community always welcomes new talents :p [16:54] :) [16:54] Orcs53_: this guy solved something with rpi-updates, not sure its the same issue as you: https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/issues/604 [16:56] ddstreet, this is weird, i have DNS working but cannot reach anything (firefox,ping, etc) by hostname - only IP [16:56] ddstreet, this is weird, i have DNS working but cannot reach anything by hostname - only IP (using firefox,ping, etc) [16:57] well that doesn't sound like you have dns working then [16:57] so, for example, "ping hostname" fails [16:57] give me a real example [16:57] but "nslookup hostname" returns the correct IP, then pinging that IP directly works [16:58] ddstreet, they are all dumb internal host names, but what i wrote immediately above is the problem [16:58] what's the domain [16:58] domain = localdomain [16:58] the actual string 'localdomain'? [16:58] yes [16:59] and what does 'hostname -f' show [16:59] and "DNS domain" is set to "localdomain" [16:59] ubuntu (my hostname) [16:59] it should show 'ubuntu.localdomain' [16:59] not always [16:59] with -f, yes always [17:00] what about 'grep search /etc/resolv.conf' [17:00] lotuspsychje, I have these devices working on Raspberry Pi OS, I am not sure why they won't pair with Ubuntu. [17:00] "nslookup server.localdomain" returns the correct ip, but i cannot ping that domain, it times out [17:00] however, if i ping the IP returned from nslookup it works [17:00] lotuspsychje, As they work with Raspberry Pi OS. I am testing them now. I dout it is a firmware issue [17:01] what's the error ping gives [17:01] just times out [17:01] what text does it output [17:01] Orcs53_: im not sure either, just trying to widen your options [17:02] search shows two domains, one that is valid for the primary interface and one that is valid for the VPN (localdomain) [17:02] what exact text does ping show you before timing out [17:02] ping server.localdomain [17:02] PING server.localdomain (192.168.88.170) 56(84) bytes of data. [17:02] Orcs53_: whats the brand of the BT devices you are trying to connect? [17:03] just sits there [17:03] is that the right ip address? [17:03] never returns anything [17:03] yes, that is the correct ip [17:03] lotuspsychje Microsoft [17:03] then you don't have a dns problem [17:03] crazy, i waited like 2 minutes and then it started pinging [17:04] is the issue that it's trying the first listed search domain and after that times out, moving to the other one? [17:06] Orcs53_: wich kernel version are you on? === al2o3-cr is now known as Guest55536 === al2o3-cr-tmp is now known as al2o3-cr [17:16] Hey folks, I was wondering if this was the right place to ask a tech support question. [17:17] ddstreet, dns appears to be working for internal assets, but now i cannot resolve anything externall [17:17] Tan_ooki: ubuntu related, yes [17:17] I'm trying to troubleshoot a very strange printing issue that happens in both my Ubuntu Classic and XFCE w/ Ubuntu sessions. [17:18] Basically, anytime I tell my computer to print a file (PDF causes most issue) the whole entire session slows to a crawl. [17:19] lotuspsychje 5.4.0-1013-raspi [17:19] Orcs53_: do you run snapd on your pi? [17:19] I either have to wait 5-10 minutes until the computer is useable again. The printer has to finish its job before, I can really do anything. [17:20] lotuspsychje Yes [17:20] Orcs53_: there's a pi-bluetooth snap method you could try [17:20] lotuspsychje I already downloaded that via apt. [17:22] no dice? [17:22] It seems like CUPS shits itself and even chrome gets confused. [17:24] The printer is wireless by the way. [17:28] Tan_ooki: does the printer have a static ip? [17:32] yes it should be static [17:33] i am getting doubled up entries when i type in "avahi-browse --all -t -r" [17:34] for PDL Printer, Unix Printer, Internet Printer and _privet._tcp [17:37] at the moment I am using the driver supplied on the Brother website [17:38] Tan_ooki: is there any info in /var/log/cups/* [17:42] Tan_ooki: is Quite Mode enabled in the printer? can you disable it (default)? [17:45] in the printer? like sleep mode? [17:46] hey pavlos, I just tried a small 2pg print drop and it seemed to respond ok [17:47] it seems when I do a 10 pg print job it freaks out [17:47] does that clarify the issue a little bit? [17:47] and when it does that it seems to be loading individual pages [17:48] Tan_ooki: I guess it takes time to load the buffer for the 10page ... printer model? [17:49] BROTHER HL_L2350DW [17:50] I don't have this issue when connect direct via USB [17:51] i installed the official linux driver fromt he brother website [17:57] lotuspsychje Alright, I got the devices connected. I followed the advise here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=229337 and here https://askubuntu.com/questions/674570/bluetooth-keyboard-microsoft-designer-keyboard-fails-to-be-added. It involves adding the experimental flage '-E' to the bluetooth.service systemd unit. After doing [17:57] this, the mouse paired very easily. But for the keyboard, I had to use the CLI "bluetoothctl". I assume this is because it needs you to enter a code on the keyboard, and blueman did not prompt this code. [17:57]
