[00:06] TL;DR: TZ typo, for anyone looking at the time issue, above. [00:07] !cookie | mason [00:07] mason: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:07] \o/ [00:08] how do I get a bare minimal install on ubuntu server 20.04? I didn't select any snaps and I noticed alsa and python are installed, but I really don't need those (or a number of other default installed packages) for this server [00:19] ArmoredDragon: just uninstall what you don't need then. [00:19] except for "essential" packages, of course [00:20] that's the thing is I'm not sure what counts as essential in the newer version [00:21] apt will tell you when you try to remove "essential" packages, where essential means something like "can't boot and start up at all without this" [00:22] you'll still risk situations of starting up fine but without networking. [00:23] i.e. "WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed." "This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!" [00:24] why remove basic features.. [00:36] this is a VM and I'm trying to keep resource usage to a minimum [00:36] that and I really don't see a need for alsa on a server... [00:39] if those resources you care about are some megabytes of data on a storage media, this might be worth the effort. [00:41] well it's a bit more than that, when the server came up it wouldn't even show the server stats pre-login because the load was too high, that really shouldn't happen on a server that theoretically has nothing installed [00:42] i'd focus on what caused this then [00:42] (incl. ensuring hardware requirements are met) [00:43] *matched [00:46] I gave the VM 2gb and its own dedicated core, that really should be more than enough for a basic linux server [00:47] there's other reasons only like having the bare essentials installed, namely for the purpose of keeping a minimal attack surface [00:47] 2 gb ram? yes, this should be enough [00:49] i guess the most minimal installation you can get is with debootstrap. but i'm not sure how supported this is as an installation method. [00:50] curious though, what is the purpose of having alsa as part of the base install on a server? a desktop machine I get it [00:50] unless ubuntu is going more towards a user experience paradigm even for servers [00:51] in which case I guess centos would be more my thing these days? [00:52] you might want a beep on a terminal where you don't have a classic buzzer anymore [00:53] or maybe an indiana jones tune for grub [00:54] well, ok, grub wont need alsa, but maybe later === zbenjamin is now known as Guest53729 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:21] I am very serious about this ISO. [01:34] i run ubuntu server with samba server and lxde on a 2 gig box. has been very solid for many years [01:51] How do I disable the visuals when I type accentued letters? if I type à, gnome snows ', then a, then ereases both and displays à. How can I disable that visual effect? [01:52] DrMax: Do you have a keyboard where one key press gets you à ? [01:53] nope it's `+a =à [01:54] I just upgraded to 20.04LTS and this is new behavior [01:54] But in emacs, it does speech-bubble-type "hints" [01:54] It's very distracting [01:55] Ok ... possible emergency ... I have a thelio running Ubuntu 20.04 ... By mistake, I deleted a 512 MB partitin at the begining of my 120 GB SSD ... Is that my boot record? [01:56] rjwiii; most likely your /boot partition so yes [01:57] DrMax: Then it makes sense that it would display that way (though I'm not sure about the "hints in emacs). Maybe it was just rendering much faster before so you didn't notice. [01:57] backup your data while you can [01:57] kk4ewt: Dang it ... how to recreate? [01:57] rjwiii: Please pastebin the output of "find /boot/" and "mount". [01:57] In emacs it does a speech bubble at insertion point with "^" in it, say [01:58] before, it only did that with shift+ctrl+u to enter a unicode code [01:59] kk4ewt: I used Disks utility [01:59] rjwiii: Disk Utility should have complained that it was mounted. Please pastebin the output I requested. That will confirm one way or the other if you deleted your /boot/. [02:00] Jordan_U: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nJHQjjq7ZB/ [02:02] still need a good terminal iso program [02:02] that can handle windows boots [02:05] rjwiii: You have not deleted your /boot/ partition. You do not have a separate /boot/ partition. [02:05] Jordan_U: THANK DOG! [02:05] Jordan_U: what did I delete? [02:05] rjwiii: You may however have deleted your EFI System Partition. [02:06] rjwiii: That is also needed for you to be able to boot, so *DON'T REBOOT YET*. Do you have a LiveUSB handy in case things break? [02:06] I can create one ... [02:07] I have a 20.04 ISO handy ... [02:07] so, is this a new accessiblity option I can turn off? [02:07] that really distracting [02:07] rjwiii: I think creating a LiveUSB is the first thing you should do. That way, no matter what happens you'll be able to boot and fix things. [02:07] that's* [02:08] DrMax: Try opening something that's not using GTK, like xterm, and see if you see the same or a similar thing. [02:08] DrMax: To be clear, I'm not really sure what changed for you or why. If I had a better idea, I'd tell you :) [02:08] Will have a live USB in about 2 minutes ... [02:09] Jordan_U: I Will have a live USB in about 2 minutes ... [02:09] rjwiii: Please pastebin your /etc/fstab . [02:09] rjwiii: Great. This should be relatively quick and easy to fix, as long as things go how I expect them to. [02:11] Jordan_U: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ctTZg2CKkV/ [02:11] gnome-terminal shows ¨ with an underline util I type u, then it shows ü. xterm shows a bubble [02:12] rjwiii: Great. Now please run "sudo mount /boot/efi/" (it will almost certainly fail, but let's be sure). [02:13] Jordan_U: mount: /boot/efi: can't find UUID=3520-40ED. [02:13] Jordan_U: Live disk is ready on a flash drive [02:13] rjwiii: Great. As expected. Now, use Gnome Disks or whatever tool you want to make a new fat32 partition where the one you deleted was. [02:14] Jordan_U: Volume name? [02:14] Jordan_U: Anything? [02:15] but do not format, right? [02:16] Jordan_U: select "For use with all systems and devices (FAT)"? [02:17] Jordan_U: I'm using Disk Utility ... [02:21] my guess is that only the partition table entry that was deleted, and so only the partition table entry needs to be added, without touching any of the data within the partition [02:23] deltab: That would be nice ... [02:24] so don't do anything that involves formatting, preparing or initializing a filesystem within the partition [02:25] deltab: Thare's an option to "Erase" that is switched off at the moment ... [02:27] for Partitioning you have "GUID Partition Table", right? [02:29] deltab: donno ... How to I "Paste" a png file?

I'm in Nepal and suspect proxies from ISP at fault? [02:40] deltab: Jordan_U_ must have taken a break ... [02:42] Jordan_U_: you still there?

[02:58] i accidently did sudo apt install 3.8 [02:58] how can i do the damage? [03:00] why does that command even work ? [03:04] Jordan_U_: You back yet? [03:04] hai #ubuntu <33 [03:04] lol djapo what did it install? [03:05] oh i see [03:05] it tries to install python3.8 [03:05] djapo you could try apt-get remove 3.8 i guess [03:07] how do i uninstall something that wont go away when i right click and click uninstall [03:07] i am trying to remove counterstrike [03:07] it wont uninstall [03:31] can I use the file command (something like find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ) to match some patterns in a file name? I have a bunch of photos with an identifier in their name e.g. "566-1024x683.jpg" where 566 is the id, and i'm triyng to copy them a couple hundred at a time [03:31] *the FIND command [03:33] find -regex ? [03:35] ooo awesome thx [03:35] maybe something like find -regex "566-*" ? [03:36] but you could just do find -name 566-* [03:36] in my particular cause im looking for all the ones above 781, b/c i've downloaded those already [03:36] but i have another 400 to go [03:36] hmm ok, that'd will require more work [03:37] or not [03:37] i think some individual digit regexes will get me there probably, like 78[[2-9] or something [03:40] how do i properly install nvidia-driver-440, just `sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440`? [03:44] yup [03:45] you could also use sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall (but that may install other things as well, so, you should be careful) [03:46] > ubuntu-drivers list [03:46] nvidia-driver-440, (kernel modules provided by linux-modules-nvidia-440-generic-hwe-20.04) [03:48] (that's on my box) [03:48] I could use some help.

[04:25] i know this is question is hard to answer with any precision due to computers being different speeds..but if i were to copy 10 gigabytes from one drive to another (local, no network, using linode machines with ssd) how long should I expect? minutes? an hour? many many hours.? [04:26] i'm trying to rescue a little ubuntu server whose harddrive i negligently let fill up [04:29] I'd expect minutes, at most [04:30] Jordan_U_: I'm going to bed ... I'll try to talk to you later ... [04:30] hello_kitty : typical hard drive will get you ~100 MB/s io [04:30] ssd, nvme can do a lot better (mine does 2-3GB/s) [04:31] so a gigabyte in 10 seconds, 10 GB in 100 s [04:31] well that sounds pretty great. off i go to rescue (i'll let you know how fast it was when done) [04:31] with zero fragmentation, probably? [04:31] anything faster than 10 hours and im happy haha :X [04:32] For real it may be more than 1½ minute [04:32] probably 5-10 [04:33] if both drives are accessed through the same interface it could be slower [04:33] they happen to be blockstorage too, so im not sure how those work [04:33] though they get mounted and pretend to be normal drives [04:34] or rather my rescue plan involves attaching block storage and copying data over to it [04:37] also...related question... if i have a volume which is mounted in /etc/fstab, and then i destroy that disk....does that cause me a problem with rebooting the machine? [04:38] hello_kitty: yes it will cause a problem. The boot process will wait until that volume becomes available. You can use the nofail option to prevent that.

[05:25] hmmm ill try it [05:41] i can set environment variables if the string im inputting i put \ before ! but then when im reading it the \ appear in the string [05:41] how can i set an environment variable to a special character without changing the string?

[06:51] the only fixes i found were windows fixes [06:51] any help? [06:52] download what, how, from where? [06:52] 4k video from their site [06:52] whose site? [06:52] a .deb file [06:52] 4k video [06:53] yes, i got that, but from who/where?

[06:57] it seems to have been a self healing issue :P yes [06:58] they might have had some temporary problem [06:58] i didnt know what to make of the error message [06:58] said contact your admin or try again later [06:59] 6 times i tried over a period [06:59] same error [06:59] i asked here cause i found nothing on google search but fixes for windows [07:00] so ok, nevermind [07:00] Wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot what's going on with copying some files to a USB [07:01] I copy the files (seemingly successfully), but once I unmount, they're gone [07:02] It's a FAT32 drive according to fdisk [07:02] I mount it with sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /tmp/usb -o uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 [07:03] I sync and then unmount, but if I remount it, I don't see the files [07:03] I'm about out of ideas, so if anyone has any, it would be appreciated [08:03] rjwiii: Sorry about that. Had an emergency come up. There are two options here, the fancy one and the straightforward one. The fancy one is to try to re-create the partition table entry without changing the data in the partition, that would magically get everything back in one step. I prefer the more straightforward route that has more steps, which is to make a new fat32 partition, with a new filestem, [08:03] then change the UUID in your /etc/fstab to match the new filesystem UUID, then check with "sudo mount /boot/efi/" to confirm that it's correctly setup in the fstab, then run "sudo grub-install" (no other argument needed) to re-install grub to your new EFI System Partition. Then you should be able to reboot happily.

[16:27] pymagic: you will get 18.04.5 automatically [16:27] oh, he is trolling, nvm [16:27] it's just a point release [16:27] oerheks: or a typo [16:28] even 18.04.5 is not released.. [16:28] donofrio, try 'fc-scan /path/to/rnJhmVJw.ttf' [16:28] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/openssl - 18.04.6 [16:29] pymagic: that's not meant as ubuntu 18.04.6 [16:29] I am looking to update the openssl to 1.1.1g in 18.04 - how do i do that? [16:30] it's the you should have been more clear about it in the first place :) [16:30] - it's the [16:32] Sep 2018 - openssl 1.1.1 is being installed by default. Do I have to compile a newer version for 18.04lts? [16:34] pymagic: why do you need a newer version other than what's available from the official repo? [16:34] what's wrong with the current version in 18.04? [16:35] pymagic: openssl 1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.6 was released at the end of May of this year [16:35] pymagic: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.6 [16:36] leftyfb, thanks! [16:38] so it should be updated by now [16:38] it is. I updated mine 4 days later [16:56] I'm trying to dual boot windows 10 (uefi) with ubuntu20. I think my love usb is bios that's why the ubuntu installer is not able to detect windows OS. My question is how can I create uefi ubuntu live usb? [16:56] *live [16:58] current iso's are all hybrid, UEFI and legacy installer. prepare the usb as you used to do? [16:58] Hey can someone paste me their /etc/apt/sources.list file? (preferably if you got Groovy Gorilla, but else is fine too) [16:58] see the !uefi manual, disable fastboot.. [16:58] !uefi [16:58] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [16:58] smallfoot-, join #ubuntu+1 for groovy [16:59] oerheks, yeah, I know. But if you don't have groovy then Eoan is good too [17:00] you can do it yourself; https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [17:01] yeah, it generates, but I don't know how the default one looks [17:01] oh that site has changes :-( [17:02] https://gist.github.com/h0bbel/4b28ede18d65c3527b11b12fa36aa8d1 [17:02] yeah, that one is from old baby 18.04 very old lol [17:03] Hello [17:03] I've installed a Kubuntu 20.04 for a friend, but today it will not boot, it's stuck at systemd-user-sessions.service [17:03] I've searched the web, but search engines don't like me [17:04] old? it is working.. === hugh_marera_ is now known as hugh_marera [17:04] explain why you need a copy of the sourceslist? [17:05] Does anyone have a clue for me? Cheers. (I've just booted a kubuntu USB stick, I don't seem to see a "reinstall but don't delete /home" option. [17:05] oerheks, because when I did ran update it found no updates, so maybe something wrong wit mine [17:06] smallfoot-: how about you pastebin yours here [17:06] lotuspsychje, okay [17:07] lotuspsychje, https://pastebin.com/FvvzbkUa this looks weird? [17:07] hey all, i'm trying to preseed an ubuntu desktop with foreman (which i've done in the past) but when the system boots up it doesn't dhcp... [17:08] if i log in and run dhclient it works just fine, just won't do it on bootup...any ideas? [17:09] smallfoot-: 19.10? === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [17:10] M_aD, no I am 20.10, i am wild boy [17:13] well then, if you are on 20.10 then do as oerheks suggested and join #ubuntu+1 [17:13] you're not even on eoan [17:13] i did, but nobody is on that channel [17:14] enough people there [17:14] maybe afk but still there [17:15] and by the way, Ubuntu 13.10 _Saucy Salamander?? [17:15] yeah, afk people are useless [17:15] yeah, because I used ubuntu since back in the days [17:15] and i used it since 13.10 and never reinstalled, just upgraded [17:15] dude, people aren't 24/7 at their keyboard [17:16] btu enough of filling the support channel with cruft :) [17:22] and everytime i open Software Store it try to advertise me proprietary software [17:25] you do not have to install those.. but your actual uestion was; i get no updates? [17:25] maybe you are up2date, or try apt update && apt dist-upgrade [18:03] May I know where does ubuntu 18.04 brightness value store ? === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me [18:09] nbusrone : likely /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/idle-brightness ? [18:09] in dconf-editor [18:10] if you open dconf-editor, navigage to that value, and play with your brightness buttons on your laptop [18:10] you should see it change [18:11] I can't check for you, I'm not on a laptop right now [18:12] DrMax : what are you on now ? [18:13] desktop with external screen [18:13] DrMax : desktop means with dedicated graphic card or intel chipset graphic ?
