N64N64TJ-: yep00:21
N64N64from yesterday, though00:21
N64N64i didnt reboot for an entire day though so that makes sense00:21
N64N64im not sure what changed00:22
TJ-N64N64: I didn't see anything obvious but I also didn't 'diff' it00:24
TJ-N64N64: what you could do is "diff -u /etc/skel/.bashrc $HOME/.bashrc"00:25
N64N64the only difference is `source ~/.profile`00:34
N64N64which00:34
N64N64now that i think about it00:34
N64N64i may have added myself00:34
N64N64OHHHHH00:35
TJ-N64N64: that'd do it, since .profile sources .bashrc so you've got a loop00:35
N64N64it was an infinite loop00:35
N64N64yeah00:35
TJ-doh!00:35
N64N64wow00:35
N64N64wtf00:35
N64N64why does it not do that00:35
N64N64when i ctrl+alt+f200:35
N64N64oh probably because i not using bash00:36
N64N64nvm yeah i am00:36
N64N64echo $0 -> bash00:36
N64N64weiiiiiiiird00:37

noraatepernos18.04 gnome here and I’m wondering how to actually share a screen via VNC.  Like I want to see the cursor move. Can a screen session be shared like this?02:00
noraatepernosI’m trying tigervnc and it works in that I can control *a* screen session but it’s not the active one.  Basically I want to make sure there is only ever one screen session.02:00

yelowfishhi,all when i try to delete a file inside nautilus it only has delete permanently.how can i bring back the normal delete that goes straigh to recycle bin?02:09
oerhekshow odd, normally nautilus stores it in trash02:14
oerhekscommandline makes it disappear.02:14
BlairWitchi use caja and  if i delete a file goes to the recycle bin unless i use shift + delete the doent pass by recycle bin02:15

Sven_vBRecently I asked for an apt-packaged version of firmware blob rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin for focal. Now by accident I found that we do indeed have a package for that, called "linux-firmware".02:32
lotuspsychje!info linux-firmware02:36
ubottulinux-firmware (source: linux-firmware): Firmware for Linux kernel drivers. In component main, is optional. Version 1.187.1 (focal), package size 96658 kB, installed size 523484 kB02:36
lotuspsychjewe do!02:36
sarnoldI don't understand how seeded-in-ubuntu works but it says it's part of ubuntu: daily-live -- I think I'd have expected linux-firmware to be installed on all machines where it would be helpful02:37
rjwiiiI seem to have hosed up a thumb drive ... is there a way to just totally wipe out a thumb drive and start from scratch?02:38
sarnoldyes, if you run sudo dd=/dev/zero of=/dev/SOMETHINGHERE you can completely wipe that thumb drive. be careful though, you'll blow away whatever it is you aim that command at, and it'll overwrite your hard drive with your life's work on it if you ask it to02:39
sarnoldso be *sure* you pick the right device node to obliterate :)02:39
sarnoldls -l /dev/disk/by-id/  may be handy02:39
sarnoldit might be worth double-checking with dmesg | grep sd    to try to check your work :)02:40
Sven_vBrjwiii, keep in mind however that flash memory has wear leveling, so you usually cannot ensure that old data is physically removed. it may have only been moved out of sight.02:42
Sven_vBrjwiii, for SSDs you can at least request the data be physically erased, but thumbdrives don't usually provide that "secure erase" feature.02:43
rjwiiisarnold: Thanks ... did that, but it still mounts ...02:43
rjwiiisarnold: shows full space in disks, though ...02:43
rjwiiisarnold: fdisk is still showing less than the full disk space ...02:44
Sven_vBrjwiii, make sure you write to the entire drive, not just a partition. I recommend using /dev/disk/by-id/ because the names there are harder to mistype than sdXX. in by-id/, the name of the disk does not have a -partX suffix.02:44
rjwiiisarnold: Did I just kill this thumbdrive?02:44
sarnoldrjwiii: you may need to do something to refresh the kernel's partition tables on the device -- it shouldn't have any partitions on it now, let alone filesystems..02:45
sarnoldrjwiii: try pulling it and plugging it back in again02:45
Sven_vBrjwiii, usually however, it should be easier to just ask gparted to create a new partition table. :)02:45
rjwiiisarnold: did that several times ... even plugged it into a different computer ...02:47
rjwiiiSven_vB: Have in gparted now ... how do I create a new partition table?02:48
Sven_vBrjwiii, in the "Device" menu02:49
sarnoldrjwiii: mmmm. this worries me. how fast did that dd command run? what'd you overwrite? :)02:49
rjwiiiSven_vB: got it ... thanks02:49
rjwiiisarnold: Thank you to you, too ...02:49
BlairWitchhi sometimes my computer crashes. and  sometimes keeps crashing frequently. i found in logs "hardware error bank 0" or something like that. does this means is a memory issue? i did a memory test and didnt found problems02:53
BlairWitchmight be a termal issue02:54
Sven_vBthermal could be. I once had a faulty cable to the reset button that would randomly short itself every few days.02:56
Sven_vBjust as a reminder that electrical connectivity can cause issues as well. :)02:57
BlairWitchis it any possible hardware error bank 0 be refered to an ssd disk instead memory?03:01
BlairWitchmy temperatrure monitor says 98 degrees on  ssd hard drive but muts be ubuntu fault. probably not working correctly because i feel no heat with my hand03:03

gbellinozI'm trying to debug a sometimes-slow shutdown, and am following the directions at:04:12
gbellinozhttps://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/#index2h104:12
gbellinozHowever, I get a screenfull of this: https://pasteboard.co/JhxDa9G.jpg04:12
gbellinozI can't tell who's doing that or why they're unhappy.04:12
deltabgbellinoz: that's due to some kind of parsing error, I think04:42
deltabit's saying "No such file" with that long thing, so I suspect the line endings are wrong (CR instead of LF)04:43
deltabso the whole script is read as the program to run04:43
gbellinozdeltab: ubuntu. I haven't had CR/LF problems in a long while!04:44
deltabokay, and given the systemd context I think it's something else04:45
gbellinozCould be that, but I'm not really sure what's being run. Is it something I've started with those kernel options, or the script that howto had me put in /usr04:46
deltabdo you actually have a /bin/bash ?04:46
gbellinozyep!04:47
gbellinozbut the script is calling for /bin/sh04:47
deltabwhat was the script you added? does it look like the one shown?04:50
deltabenv >> /tmp/env etc.04:51
gbellinozThe one at the freedesktop.org link. No echo in it whatsoever.04:51
gbellinozLooking at the output again, I can see semicolons between the statements, and a bash -c to run the whole thing, so I don't think it's a line ending issue.04:51
gbellinozIt did actually end up in the journal, looks like something broken with the systemd debug stuff I'm passing in on the kernel options.04:55
gbellinozhttps://termbin.com/h2w004:55
gbellinozOH, it's some udev debug stuff I have in there. Have no idea why that would suddenly be producing a lot of output!04:56
gbellinozI've had it in there for years... must have always sounded off during boot/shutdown, but now with the systemd debug stuff in there it's visible.04:56

tripelbThank heavens that linus ey al forced nvidia to kneel and reveal the secrets.05:32
tripelbdeltab ok I did all that and I still dont get a choice to play.05:36
deltabtripelb: my guess was that it's not showing the option because of some missing software05:37
tripelbSounds true.05:37

tomreynso removing one of them did not really help?13:31
BlairWitchi just switch  the rams13:32
BlairWitchim gona try using only 1 ram13:32
tomreynremove one, do a 2 pass memtest86+ (download from vendor website since you want the uefi variant)13:32
tomreynif it still fails, replace the one by the other, repeat13:32
tomreynif it still fails, replace mainboard13:33
BlairWitchi did a full memtest and no errors with both13:33
lotuspsychjeBlairWitch: maybe as another path also check if theres a higher bios update available, just as a test13:33
BlairWitchok13:33
tomreynthere's no higher bios version available13:33
tomreynBlairWitch: you did a full test but in the wrong configuration13:34

JediMasterTJ-, just wanted to update you on the issue I had on Friday with the intel gpu issues with the dual 4k DP/hdmi screens14:54
JediMasterTJ-, first of all, big thank you for your help, it's much appreciated. I've not been able to get the EDID working for the Acer 4k DP monitor, however what I think was causing all the issues was the first part of the Modline, was set to 533.00 Mhz, apparently the correct value was 533.25, which has stopped all the craziness with the CPU, everything is working as expected with the correct custom modeline14:56
JediMasterIt's a weird situation because the GPU is on-chip in the CPU, so having an incorrect settings affects CPU performance, but that's what it looks like did it. The entire machine is flying now, noticeably faster than Windows 10 now, rather than dramatically slower. Hopefully the EDID issue can be fixed which would make all this much easier14:58
lotuspsychjeJediMaster: was that on intel graphics?15:02
JediMasterYes15:02
lotuspsychjeJediMaster: did you test other kernel versions on your issue?15:02
JediMasterWas getting huge CPU load issues with the entire machine grinding to a halt just because the modeline (that wasn't found by EDID for a 4k DP monitor) was 0.25Hz out15:03
JediMasterlotuspsychje, Yes, in that I've had the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 and 20.0415:03
lotuspsychjeaha15:03
JediMasterThat the EDID was never picked up15:03
lotuspsychjeJediMaster: you didnt file a bug for that?15:03
JediMasterI managed to get around it by finding a modeline that worked for the monitor, but it turned out to be just a little bit off and caused lots of problems with the CPU15:04
lotuspsychjeJediMaster: i would reccomend, if something doesnt work out of the box on ubuntu, to let the devs know by filing a !bug15:04
JediMasterlotuspsychje, not sure what I would file the bug against, the intel driver in the kernel maybe? Or is it an issue with the EDID on the monitor itself?15:05
lotuspsychjeJediMaster: did you edit things in xorg or xrandr?15:06
JediMasteryes, added a manual modeline in .xprofile15:06
JediMasteris xorg responsible for getting the EDID data from the monitor then?15:07
lotuspsychjeJediMaster: maybe file against the kernel then ubuntu-bug linux, if its the wrong package, the devs will change it after anyways15:07
JediMasterOk, will do, thanks15:08
lotuspsychjeJediMaster: might be interesting for the community, and yourself too the devs know about it15:08
TJ-JediMaster: makes sense with an integrated GPU, since  the modeline is setting frequencies and overworking the GPU causes heat that will slow down the CPU so the package stays within the TDP15:10
JediMasterI've had similar issues on another machine with an Nvidia RTX 2080 with the same make/model monitor, so I suspect the issue is with the monitor not providing the EDID correctly15:10
TJ-JediMaster: there are some specific DDC enquiry tools to manually request the EDID, there is also read-edid/parse-edid I seem to recall15:10

FurretUberHi, I'm trying to build Mesa git and I'm getting this: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JQhyVcGyKc/17:14
FurretUberThe OS is Xubuntu 20.04 amd6417:15
leftyfbFurretUber: what's wrong with the mesa available in ubuntu?17:15
tomreynand did you do a web search on the error message, yet?17:17
FurretUberWhile 20.04 has a good Mesa version, I used Mesa git on 18.04 to have the latest features. Now, it's to follow git17:17
FurretUberIt seems to be this one: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=96130 which says GCC is fixed17:18

bumblefuzzso, I just got a new monitor and I'm having trouble with 2 things: 1.) I used xrandr to change the rate to 144hz and the picture is terrible and 2.) when I plug my headphones into the monitor, there's no sound17:25

destinydrivenleftyfb, I'm installing on raspberry pi so I need the arm64 version18:05
destinydrivenleftyfb, I think it's supposed to install that in /usr/local//bin but this directory is empty18:06
