| pylearner | On latest ubuntu I am curious to why nothing in python works right | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | there's two different programming languages that share the name 'python', one is python2, the other is python3; because the upstream python2 community dropped support for it, so we've gone to some efforts to remove it | 00:36 |
| oerheks | on 20.04, python2 is dropped. | 00:36 |
| sarnold | so there's a lot of python2-based packages that were removed | 00:36 |
| sarnold | if you give us the exact error messages you're facing we may have suggestions | 00:37 |
| oerheks | one can install 2.7, though, but that would be pointless. | 00:37 |
| M_aD | python 2 went EOL on January | 00:38 |
| M_aD | on/in | 00:38 |
| pylearner | sarnold, I think I should just remove python 2 stuff but when i apt-get install python it installs python 2 | 00:38 |
| M_aD | pylearner: python 3 is installed by default | 00:38 |
| pylearner | sarnold, when i got to remove it does not apt-get remove python it does not work | 00:39 |
| oerheks | python is a essential component, why removing it? | 00:39 |
| sarnold | pylearner: you can also install the python3 package to get python3, and if you want the name 'python' to mean 'python3', you can also install the python-is-python3 package | 00:39 |
| pylearner | oerheks, that is why it would not let me remove so i need python 2 | 00:41 |
| pylearner | oerheks, good to know | 00:41 |
| sarnold | whether or not you need python2 is another question entirely :) | 00:42 |
| pylearner | so i guess install python3 but the question is will my python script work | 00:42 |
| sarnold | it depends; some scripts are bilingual and run in either; other scripts only work in one or the other.. | 00:43 |
| euxneks | confirmed it is not wayland - logging into Xorg the japanese input issue persists. I have installed anthy and was able to input into hexchat but firefox still only does latin characters | 00:45 |
| sarnold | dang :( | 00:46 |
| euxneks | every link on a google search for the first three pages is purple. I haven't a clue how to search for this issue - I'm going to try to find a log file somewhere | 00:46 |
| sarnold | try ~/.xsession* files, journalctl -f before launching firefox or slack, or maybe just look through journalctl output after having problems | 00:47 |

| possiblydementic | Guys, a quick one. How do I make an alias in .bashrc that if I type "blah booboo" it makes "curl https://foo.bar/booboo" | 01:04 |
| possiblydementic | I'm so tired and my heads not working right | 01:05 |
| possiblydementic | or do I need a function | 01:06 |
| sarnold | function | 01:07 |
| sarnold | possiblydementic: I don't think alias lets you modify an argument like that | 01:07 |
| ChmEarl | ucurl() {curl "$@" ;} | 01:07 |
| ChmEarl | ^ correct ws: ucurl () { curl "$@" ; } | 01:09 |
| possiblydementic | allright, thank you! I'll try it | 01:11 |
| ChmEarl | possiblydementic, type it into .bashrc, then `source .bashrc` | 01:11 |

| DrMax | raw thumbnails stopped working in 20.04 | 02:46 |
| DrMax | what's the way to get cr2, cr3, etc. thumbnails back ? | 02:47 |
| DrMax | ok, found: you have to edit /usr/share/thumbnailers/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer.thumbnailer and add image/x-canon-cr2;image/x-canon-cr3;image/x-canon-crw; (or the wanted formats) | 03:07 |
| DrMax | it seems to be effective as soon as you ctrl-r a view | 03:07 |
| sarnold | DrMax: woo, thanks for reporting back | 03:07 |
| DrMax | the solution is from: https://community.linuxmint.com/idea/view/2351 | 03:07 |
| DrMax | (because I use nemo... no offense to the hardworking people that maintain nautilus) | 03:08 |
| td_ | I had a quick question -- I like ubuntu but I don't particularly want all the applications that come with ubuntu desktop. Would my best option be to install ubuntu server and then pick and choose what packages i'd like to install? | 03:11 |
| DrMax | or just remove individual apps? | 03:11 |
| td_ | yeah, i was trying to figure the least labor intensive way to go.. i'd like to remove the majority of the packages | 03:12 |
| sarnold | td_: starting from ubuntu-server and adding new is pretty easy | 03:14 |
| DrMax | If you want to start from scratch (which I would'nt) I guess you could remove gnome-desktop and reinstall just gnome | 03:15 |
| sarnold | td_: I did something very similar for my current laptop (I wanted root on ZFS on LUKS and at the time, the installer couldn't offer it..) | 03:15 |
| td_ | ok good to know | 03:15 |
| sarnold | td_: but starting from ubuntu-server and installing xorg and i3wm or fvwm or whatever is easy enough | 03:16 |
| td_ | yeah, i'm decently familiar with doing similar things on some other distros that didn't come with a gui pre installed | 03:16 |
| sarnold | ah! good, then it's very similar :) | 03:18 |
| sarnold | well, okay, I've done that with slackware *ages* ago and debian just one age ago.. | 03:18 |
| sarnold | I've not tried it with other more recent less dinosaur-oriented distros :) but I assume it's pretty similar across the board | 03:18 |
| td_ | yeah i've done it on openbsd, wanted a similar experience with ubuntu.. minimalistic approach kind of thing, a gui and a browser and some other stuff | 03:20 |
| td_ | just not really all the bells and whistles :) | 03:20 |
| sarnold | nice nice | 03:21 |

| lotuspsychje | !dmesg | dust | 04:57 |
| ubottu | dust: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. | 04:57 |

| OrcD3vil | Trying to VNC to my pi 4 box, using tightvncserver. I've created the xstartup file have ubuntu-desktop / xfce4 installed but can't get vnc to work on anything but xfce4, anyone have second to help with how to swap it to ubuntu-desktop using the xstartup file? | 06:02 |
| matsaman | OrcD3vil: it goes straight to Xfce? | 06:06 |
| OrcD3vil | yes | 06:06 |
| OrcD3vil | even if i switch monitor over and manuall select gnome and login, then logout. I've changed the xstartup file and it just won't load | 06:07 |
| matsaman | mmm, can you use tigervnc? Never had issues with that one using the X module | 06:11 |
| OrcD3vil | umm i guess i can try | 06:12 |
| OrcD3vil | matsaman, so I got tigervnc installed.. shows its running now i'm trying to connect on my windows box and I can't get it to connect at all | 06:34 |
| OrcD3vil | I can SSH into box.. ufw is not enabled.. I've tried 192.168.1.x and 192.168.1.x:1 "1 for the display" alos tried 192.168.1.x:5901 | 06:35 |
| matsaman | with the tigervnc client? | 06:35 |
| OrcD3vil | using Real VNC and Ultra VNC on windows | 06:37 |
| matsaman | might try that tigervnc client | 06:38 |
| OrcD3vil | it shoudl be able to be used with any client | 06:39 |
| MonkZ | Hiho, is there a reason that the "lts" alias still points to 18.04 on https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ | 06:48 |
| MonkZ | ? | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | MonkZ: perhaps ask in #ubuntu-server they might know more about those | 06:51 |
| guiverc | MonkZ, I don't see a LTS link there, they are listed by code-name, but I'd likely ask on #ubuntu-website if you felt it was in error (or raise a ticket on lp) | 06:51 |
| MonkZ | guiverc: just run "lxc image list ubuntu-daily: lts" or "lxc image list ubuntu: lts" ;) | 06:52 |
| MonkZ | i'll ask in #ubuntu-server | 06:53 |
| lotuspsychje | OrcD3vil: be carefull with the vnc protocol as those are getting hammered 24/7 depending on what you need perhaps consider ssh instead? | 06:55 |
| OrcD3vil | this is internal not going to expose it outside its on a pi 4 to mess around with nothing serious | 06:56 |
| lotuspsychje | OrcD3vil: none of the vnc boxes will have internet? | 06:56 |
| OrcD3vil | they will be on my network so yes they will have access to internet but i won't be port forwarding or giving access to incoming traffic | 06:58 |
| lotuspsychje | OrcD3vil: still be carefull then, might wanna keep track of portscanning, or try out a different safer protocol | 06:59 |
| OrcD3vil | if i can't get it to work what does it matter about security? because no one can login if I can't.. which is why i'm asking for hlep lol | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | OrcD3vil: nmap the ip of the box you want to try to connect, see wich ports are open to the outside and check if vnc is running? | 07:02 |
| OrcD3vil | vnc is running before matsaman told me to switch to tigervnc was using tightvnc and i could connect using xfce4 but i don't want to use that trying to use ubuntu-desktop but it won't load just grey screen. now i switched to tigervnc I can't get any connection via vnc at all | 07:03 |
| OrcD3vil | ufw is deactive, and yes vncserver -list shows its listening | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | dust: your bug has been duped | 08:27 |

| aazgh | Hi | 08:44 |
| aazgh | noob question, hope it doesn't bother you too much | 08:44 |
| aazgh | I'm trying to downgrade virtualbox on Ubuntu focal | 08:45 |
| aazgh | the problem that I have is that I don't know the exact names of the versions available on Ubuntu repositories. | 08:46 |
| aazgh | I want to downgrade to 6.0.4 | 08:46 |
| aazgh | I rand: sudo apt remove virtualbox | 08:46 |
| lotuspsychje | aazgh: downgrading packages is not how ubuntu works, you need to install the packages available for your ubuntu version, or snaps | 08:46 |
| aazgh | then ran: sudo apt install virtualbox=6.0.4 | 08:46 |
| aazgh | how do I get a list of all the available versions for a specific software? | 08:47 |
| aazgh | Like, virtualbox | 08:47 |
| lotuspsychje | aazgh: apt-cache search keyword | 08:48 |
| lotuspsychje | aazgh: or snap find keyword | 08:48 |
| aazgh | Oh :) | 08:48 |
| lotuspsychje | aazgh: when you found a candidate, apt policy packagename to see version | 08:49 |
| ducasse | aazgh: try 'apt policy packagename', that will list available versions | 08:49 |
| aazgh | so when I run "sudo apt install packagename" without specifying a version name, the top option from Version Table in "apt policy" is installed by default? | 08:55 |
| aazgh | is that correct? | 08:56 |
| blumpski | aagzh: yes, you can also check which package is the default package with apt-cache search | 09:11 |
| blumpski | by default the newest version is always installed. that is, the newest version in your cache :) so remember to always apt update | 09:13 |

| lotuspsychje | nukeu666: another option could be installing 18.04 or 20.04 over your existing install and try to preserve your /home at partitioning | 13:15 |
| kontra2 | lotuspsychje: ok | 13:15 |
| Assid | lotuspsychje: i know.. thats why i was doing an update so i could move it over | 13:15 |
| Assid | but now .. it no longer shows up as a boot option.. , goes straight into windows | 13:16 |
| Assid | lotuspsychje: you need to do an update before you do a release update | 13:16 |
| kontra2 | <lotuspsychje>done | 13:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Assid: disco is eol, means no support anymore | 13:17 |
| Assid | lotuspsychje: i understand that.. but it shouldnt turn suicidal and killl the boot loader right | 13:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Assid: when an ubuntu version turns eol, weird things can happen | 13:19 |
| Assid | alrite.. so how do i get this started ? | 13:20 |
| Assid | wifeys gonna kick my ass.. i told her i;d update it for her :/ | 13:22 |
| Assid | lotuspsychje: can you | 13:24 |
| Assid | can i upgrade with a usb disk without it reformatting / wipe / | 13:24 |
| kontra2 | lotuspsychje: how to launch it | 13:26 |
| Orcs53_ | Hi everybody! I have asked this question twice earlier in #ubuntu-server, and had not response. I am still keen to here back, if anybody here can help. I have a question regarding configuring a simple routing firewall. I plan to use Ubuntu Server 20.04, and ufw, and I have found a good example for the configuration (see "Full example" in | 13:27 |
| Orcs53_ | https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/ufw-framework.8.html). However, in this example, it is mentioned "Your firewall will undoubtedly want to be less open.". I would like if someone could discuss any further steps for hardening the configuration seen in this approach. Thanks! | 13:27 |
| lotuspsychje | kontra2: wine isnt really a program to launch, but a sort of emulator for windows programs, so choose a windows .exe to launch with wine | 13:27 |
| lotuspsychje | !crosspost | Orcs53_ | 13:27 |
| ubottu | Orcs53_: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. | 13:27 |
| Orcs53_ | ubottu Thank you I will note when seeking help in the future. | 13:30 |
| ubottu | Orcs53_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:30 |
| Armageddon | Orcs53_, I would assume by less open they mean start by a blocking firewall and open only what you need ;) | 13:33 |
| Armageddon | firewall policy that is | 13:33 |
| Orcs53_ | ubottu Oh ha ha | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Orcs53_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:38 |
| legreffier | Orcs53_: it's hard to answer you on this with this little information. | 13:40 |
| Orcs53_ | Armageddon That what I assumed, but when reading into the example, that is what it is. Blocks all incoming on external WAN, forwards port 80. And also restricts administration access via SSH to a single administrative workstation on the internal LAN. | 13:40 |
| legreffier | sounds tighter than a lot of environment ! | 13:41 |
| Orcs53_ | But they still mention in the documentation, specifically in the example "Your firewall will undoubtedly want to be less open.". | 13:42 |
| legreffier | Orcs53_: depends on what environment you're working on... | 13:42 |
| legreffier | you probably will want to authorize only a few well-known IPs for ssh service. | 13:44 |
| legreffier | if it's going to be a production service, outwards connections should be filtered too. | 13:44 |
| Schnabeltierchen | Does ufw got an seperate support channel or may i ask questions about ufw with ubuntu 18.04 here? | 13:46 |
| Armageddon | Orcs53_, I get your confusion, it gave me a chuckle well they are covering all their basis I guess :) a good engineer always does that | 13:46 |
| Holiday | so I did some debugging with the help on a kind user in #cloud-init, and it lead me to an interesting observation. On 18.04, my cloud-init runs at boot on every boot just fine, on a system that hasn't been updated in a bit. But as soon as I did an 'apt update; apt upgrade', the 18.04 system is acting just like my 20.04 where cloud-init is not running on boot and 'systemctl list-units | grep cloud' no longer return any unit names | 14:38 |
| Holiday | part of what apt updated was systemd so I'm wondering if there isn't something being borked there, and not by the apt upgrade process its self but with the newer version of systemd as I didn't upgrade the 20.04 as far as I can remember after doing the apt install cloud-init | 14:38 |

| Blakeanator400 | Hey everyone, I am having an issue with my sound. I have logitech G560 speakers. I get no sound output while using Ubuntu. However when I use Win10 I have no problems. Any help would be appreciated. | 14:41 |
| ph88 | how can i let tigervnc run at startup ? | 14:43 |
| juliandroske | create a service and enable it | 14:43 |
| Orcs53_ | legreffier I agree, thank you that is helpful. | 14:47 |
| Orcs53_ | Schnabeltierchen I looked for a channel for ufw but could not find one. | 14:49 |
| Schnabeltierchen | same here ... | 14:50 |
| ph88 | juliandroske, should i write a service file manually ? | 14:50 |
| juliandroske | you can make a copy from another .service and edit it to run vnc | 14:52 |
| ph88 | ok | 14:55 |
| juliandroske | [Unit] | 14:56 |
| juliandroske | Description=TigerVnc | 14:56 |
| juliandroske | [Service] | 14:56 |
| juliandroske | ExecStart=PATH/TO/YOUR/BINARY/FILE ARGS | 14:56 |
| juliandroske | And you can use 'which tigervnc' to get the path, commonly at /usr/bin/ | 14:57 |
| rangergord | what can explain a module (w83627ehf) listed at the end of /etc/modules not being loaded on system startup...but after I log in if I do "sudo modprobe w83627ehf" then it loads fine. | 15:03 |
| Orcs53_ | Armageddon Ha ha! When I read the example it seemed complete. So when the author mentioned "less open", I was interested in what more could be done to achieve this less open state. | 15:03 |
| genii | rangergord: Each module name there should be on it's own line, also good to add a carriage return after the name of the last module listed | 15:06 |
| martiansoul | I have a server. I was assigned this server with docker preinstalled. | 15:06 |
| martiansoul | but I can only run docker commands as root user. | 15:06 |
| martiansoul | how is that possible? | 15:06 |
| martiansoul | when i try to run a docker command as non-root, it shows - `Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket ` | 15:07 |
| genii | rangergord: Other possibilities are that's in the blackilsted modules list, or that it's actually being loaded at boot, but then discarded if no devices are found which actually use it | 15:07 |
| martiansoul | any ideas about the docker issue? | 15:09 |
| frad | I ran 'ocrfeeder' on my terminal. The gui loaded. I tried to load a pdf file, but nothing happens. THis is xubuntu 20.04 and ocrfeeder 0.8.2. Am I forgetting something? | 15:10 |
| frad | what am I doing wrong? Installing the latest available ocrfeeder from tar.gz (0.8.3) I get: make[1]: *** [Makefile:521: all] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/Compiled/ocrfeeder-0.8.3/bin' make: *** [Makefile:386: all-recursive] Error 1 | 15:26 |
| leftyfb | frad: is there a reason the 8.1 available in ubuntu isn't good enough for you? | 15:47 |
| nbusrone | Anyone know any application or command which can check how many times internet get disconnect ? or log my ip if get change ? | 15:48 |
| leftyfb | nbusrone: you could easily write a shell script to monitor things | 15:54 |
| leftyfb | nbusrone: though there are scripts to update services like dyndns that monitor a WAN ip change | 15:55 |
| frad | leftyfb, working with pdf files with text. Sometimes the creator od the pdf file left the text as text, so I can copy it with okular. But on other occasions the author decided to simply scan a book and save the scanning as pdf. each page is a picture. When this happens, my actual ocrfeeder does not even open the pdf file. I have resorted to save each single pdf file as a png file and work from there, bu it is very time consumming | 15:56 |
| nbusrone | leftyfb : ok , will check for that .I though there are ready application for network monitoring. | 15:56 |
| leftyfb | frad: you still didn't answer the question | 15:56 |
| frad | pdf files are not recognized leftyfb | 15:57 |
| leftyfb | frad: did that functionality change between 8.1 and 8.2 or 8.3? | 15:58 |
| frad | leftyfb, last time I used ocrfeeder 4 months ago it worked. don't remember ocrfeeders version | 15:59 |
| leftyfb | frad: how did you install ocrfeeder 4 months ago? | 15:59 |
| frad | synaptic | 16:00 |
| leftyfb | frad: ok, then there's no reason to compile your own. Stick with the 8.1 version available in ubuntu | 16:00 |
| frad | any idea why ocrfeeder stopped working with pdfs leftyfb ? | 16:03 |
| leftyfb | frad: what changed in the last 4 months? Did you try it on a document that worked before? | 16:04 |
| rangergord | genii, sorry for not replying, delivery guy arrived. I had already inserted a newline at the end of /etc/modules. I also grepped /etc/modprobe.d (which is full of blacklists) for that module, it's not there. So that leaves your 3rd possibility. | 16:08 |
| rangergord | that's beyond me. I'll see if loading the module in a basic bash script ("modprobe w83627ehf") works | 16:09 |
| Assid | bah.. i should have jusr backed up everything she had on this.. and done a fresh install.. and gone zfs .. big mistake | 16:21 |
| frad | what does this terminal message mean? (ocrfeeder:18617): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 18:20:36.654: gtk_widget_realize: assertion 'widget->priv->anchored || GTK_IS_INVISIBLE (widget)' failed | 16:21 |
| grant_ | what tools can I use to monitor where apt installs packages? can I sandbox apt? | 16:21 |
| grant_ | frad: are you making a gtk program? | 16:22 |
| frad | no grant_ ,im trying using ocrfeeder to extract text from pdf files, but not a single pdf file is recognized as such | 16:22 |
| leftyfb | grant_: /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/* contain logs of package installations | 16:23 |
| grant_ | leftyfb: thanks | 16:23 |
| leftyfb | grant_: why do you think you need to "sandbox" apt? | 16:23 |
| grant_ | not sandbox as in chroot persay | 16:23 |
| leftyfb | grant_: why? | 16:23 |
| p1kalyan | any Java Developers here ? | 16:25 |
| grant_ | was thinking of getting a way to figure out the differences some how between the sandboxed enviroment and the regular enviroment | 16:25 |
| grant_ | p1kalyan: sure, dunno how much expertise you want though | 16:25 |
| martiansoul | p1kalyan, there is a #java channel as well. | 16:25 |
| grant_ | that channel is suspect tho | 16:26 |
| p1kalyan | i want to connect mysql server from Eclipse in Ubuntu 20.04 can anyone help me ? | 16:26 |
| grant_ | frad: glimagereader is pretty good | 16:26 |
| leftyfb | pikapika: wrong channel. Try a java help channel | 16:27 |
| frad | .! glimagereader | 16:27 |
| rangergord | grant_, there's some apt command you can see to look at what files a package installs. I prefer the 3rd party apt-file ("apt-file list atop" for example) because it also works on non-installed packages | 16:27 |
| frad | .i glimagereader | 16:27 |
| grant_ | plus that's an eclipse question ;) | 16:27 |
| frad | will glimagereader read pdf files grant_ ? | 16:27 |
| leftyfb | frad: try google | 16:27 |
| p1kalyan | ok do anyone know how to install Oracle Database in Ubuntu 20.04 ? | 16:28 |
| leftyfb | p1kalyan: since it's a commercial product, you'll have to contact Oracle. | 16:28 |
| grant_ | leftyfb: what I really wanted to do was be able to go back to an enviroment before some apt installtions | 16:28 |
| p1kalyan | so what i can get from here ? | 16:28 |
| grant_ | rangergord: thanks | 16:28 |
| leftyfb | p1kalyan: This is a support channel for Ubuntu and it's use and packages. Not for 3rd party commercial products or how to develop | 16:29 |
| rhoks86 | Hey guys, my gui updater updated by itself after I was procrastinating on it or whatever... But then again I procrastinated on it when it asked for password to install/remove something and the screen went to sleep and now its frozen... What do I do?Is there a way of restarted the desktop environment while still maintaining all the open programs and | 16:30 |
| rhoks86 | stuff? | 16:30 |
| grant_ | say you have ubuntu paid support, can you request a system configured for a posix target? | 16:30 |
| DArqueBishop | p1kalyan: it should be pointed out that last I checked, Ubuntu is not a supported operating system for Oracle Database. | 16:31 |
| leftyfb | grant_: contact Canonical for paid support questions | 16:31 |
| grant_ | ok, cheers | 16:31 |
| p1kalyan | ok do we have multiple login option like in windows 10, we have multiple signing options like login with pin,picture,microsoft account, and windows Hello etc. whats the option in Ubuntu ? | 16:32 |
| grant_ | depends on the login manager, which is usually a password, some have fingerprint reader support tho | 16:32 |
| grant_ | peace! | 16:32 |
| rhoks86 | fine I logged in via another session and rebooted anyway | 16:33 |
| p1kalyan | does really Ubuntu need a anti virus ? | 16:34 |
| leftyfb | p1kalyan: not really, no | 16:34 |
| M_aD | no | 16:34 |
| LinStatSDR | Probably not. | 16:35 |
| M_aD | p1kalyan: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/security.html#ID1.1 | 16:35 |
| DArqueBishop | Does Ubuntu by itself require antivirus? Probably not. | 16:36 |
| LinStatSDR | Probably not. | 16:37 |
| p1kalyan | like windows have vulnerability to exploit users data and access to the computer with meterpreter program, like ubuntu also have some bash script which is generated by Evasion or Veil Frame work so how Ubuntu will detect some malicious codes to gain access to our computer ? | 16:37 |
| LinStatSDR | Key word, probably. | 16:37 |
| DArqueBishop | However, certain compliance regulations may require you to install it anyway. | 16:37 |
| LinStatSDR | Anything is dangerious if you agree to let it run. | 16:37 |
| LinStatSDR | :) | 16:37 |
| LinStatSDR | Could be dangerous?* | 16:37 |
| M_aD | p1kalyan: read the article i posted a link to | 16:37 |
| leftyfb | p1kalyan: please feel free to chat about Ubuntu in #ubuntu-offtopic . If you have support issues with Ubuntu, please detail any symptoms or error logs here | 16:38 |
| p1kalyan | leftyfb: i have been using Ubuntu from 20.04 version release so i have some doubts to know about it. now my host operating system is Ubuntu so, i want to know as much as possible or please suggest me where i can learn everything about Ubuntu or suggest me any websites,forums, or Tutorials site please... | 16:46 |
| leftyfb | p1kalyan: wiki.ubuntu.com | 16:47 |
| leftyfb | p1kalyan: otherwise, google | 16:47 |
| p1kalyan | M_aD: ok, that's good but if want to run some windows application and that is not available in Ubuntu then how can we use that software ? in Ubuntu if there is no alternative in Ubuntu ? instead of wine or PlayonLinux... | 16:49 |
| bumblefuzz | I'm having trouble getting ubuntu to recognize one of my mouse buttons | 16:49 |
| bumblefuzz | I'm using a Corsair M65 mouse | 16:49 |
| bumblefuzz | I've tried 'xev | grep button' and nothing registers | 16:49 |
| bumblefuzz | ...for the particular button | 16:50 |
| bumblefuzz | I'm not sure how to get ubuntu to recognize it | 16:50 |
| M_aD | p1kalyan: search, search, search... that's what i did when i started back in 2007 with Ubuntu 7.04. And if users still want windows apps they should either stick with windows, do a dual boot or run windows in a VM | 16:50 |
| bumblefuzz | ...or why it isn't in the first place | 16:50 |
| mason | bumblefuzz: Does it show up in xinput? | 16:50 |
| bumblefuzz | mason, lemme check | 16:50 |
| bumblefuzz | some stuff shows up | 16:51 |
| bumblefuzz | again, the mouse works, all the buttons work except for 1 | 16:51 |
| mason | bumblefuzz: Does the mouse work other than that one button? And when you hang over the xev window, do other buttons show up? | 16:51 |
| bumblefuzz | yes | 16:51 |
| mason | Right, was just thinking about that. | 16:51 |
| p1kalyan | M_aD: Thanks :-[ | 16:51 |
| bumblefuzz | it's never been used | 16:52 |
| bumblefuzz | so, I'm doubtful it's the mouse | 16:52 |
| ducasse | bumblefuzz: which button is it? | 16:52 |
| bumblefuzz | one of the thumb buttons | 16:52 |
| bumblefuzz | there are 3 thumb buttons | 16:52 |
| bumblefuzz | the other 2 work | 16:53 |
| ducasse | bumblefuzz: try running xev without the grep to see if it sends some other event | 16:53 |
| ducasse | bumblefuzz: the thumb buttons on my logitech mouse sends keypress events | 16:53 |
| bumblefuzz | doesn't show anything without the grep | 16:54 |
| mason | bumblefuzz: Eh? It should show a lot without a grep. | 16:54 |
| bumblefuzz | yeah | 16:54 |
| bumblefuzz | it shows plenty | 16:54 |
| bumblefuzz | but it's all the mouse movements | 16:54 |
| mason | Oh, doesn't show the thumb button. Gotcha. | 16:54 |
| ducasse | maybe the button is broken, can you test it on a windows machine? | 16:55 |
| M_aD | p1kalyan: people should realize from the start that Linux isn't Windows and vice versa, that things work differently and have to learn to work with open source alternatives of apps. | 16:56 |
| mason | bumblefuzz: You've probably already read this, but random issues with the same mouse: https://askubuntu.com/questions/943931/cant-click-my-mouse-a-few-minutes-after-boot-on-16-04 | 16:56 |

| bumblefuzz | also, my mouse button still doesn't work | 17:06 |
| p1kalyan | i switched to Ubuntu in april 2020 after Ubuntu focal 20.04 release when i am using windows my laptop speakers sound output and quality is was very well but i am not getting that much sound in Ubuntu right now do i need to install something. how can i improve my speakers sound output and quality ? | 17:09 |
| M_aD | p1kalyan: not to sound rude or anything but there's a plethora of info to be found on the web, i bet your question can be answered if you serach in the right places | 17:11 |
| M_aD | serach/search | 17:11 |
| M_aD | also look for any bug reports | 17:12 |

| M_aD | p1kalyan: please don't PM me unwanted. Thanks in advance | 17:14 |
| M_aD | lotuspsychje: what's the problem? That's what i did back in 2007 when i started with Ubuntu as a newb, search the web first then ask | 17:16 |
| lotuspsychje | M_aD: feel free to discuss it in #ubuntu-discuss | 17:17 |
| M_aD | lotuspsychje: sure | 17:17 |
| octav1a | Can anyone recommend any backup utility alternative to duplicity to backup to google drive? Duplicity + pydrive ends up getting google api error rate limit exceeded with no suggestions for a fix that I can find. | 17:18 |
| lotuspsychje | !borg | octav1a maybe? | 17:21 |
| ubottu | octav1a maybe?: borg is a fast backup tool with incremental backups: https://www.borgbackup.org/ (Ubuntu packages: borgbackup, borgbackup-doc, and borgmatic) | 17:21 |
| lotuspsychje | not sure it does backup to google | 17:21 |
| bumblefuzz | can someone help me figure out why my network adapter keeps going offline randomly? | 17:25 |
| bumblefuzz | I found this line in the syslog: | 17:25 |

| neure | hi | 17:33 |
| neure | how do I setup more swap space? | 17:33 |
| M_aD | neure: swap partition or the swap file? | 17:34 |
| M_aD | neure: in case of the swap file: https://askubuntu.com/questions/178712/how-to-increase-swap-space | 17:36 |
| neure | would swap partition be better than swap file? | 17:36 |
| neure | I am using nvme drive | 17:36 |
| M_aD | which ubuntu are you on? | 17:36 |
| neure | 20.04 | 17:37 |
| neure | when I run vmware it complains I should have at least 4G swap (I have 2G) | 17:38 |
| M_aD | so it's a swap file that has been created autmatically. You can adjust that as shown in the link above | 17:38 |
| neure | I would not mind creating a swap partition, if that works any better | 17:38 |
| M_aD | should be the same | 17:39 |
| M_aD | i'm not an expert on that kind of thing though | 17:39 |
| === thebope_ is now known as thebope | ||
| neure | ok I'll just use 8G swap file | 17:40 |
| sarnold | dust: thanks for the bug report :) | 18:05 |
| Blakeanator400 | Hey everyone, I have a problem with my sound(nothin is coming out of my speakers). I have Logitech G560 speakers. I checked my sound settings and under output it is listed. I only come across this problem with Ubuntu. | 18:10 |
| Xano | Hiya! I installed 20.04, and only had a dummy sound output. This is a known bug, and I upgraded the kernel to 5.4.51. I now have my HDMI output back, but the built-in speakers and headphone jack aren't recognized. `lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel` shows the kernel module is enabled, `lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Audio` shows the audio device and confirms it uses the snd_hda_intel kernel. alsa-base.conf contains `options snd-hda-intel | 18:10 |
| Xano | model=generic`. At the moment I'm not sure how to continue debugging this. | 18:10 |
| tomreyn | can you point to the bug report if it's a known bug? | 18:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Xano: and was there a reason you went to -51 kernel version mainline? | 18:14 |
| Xano | I went to 51 because the issue was reported to be fixed (and the HDMI output showing up seems to confirm that at least partly) and it was the latest 5.4. Wasn't much else to that decision | 18:15 |
| Xano | I did try a few other `options snd-hda-intel` variations earlier before I upgraded the kernel based on reports from people with similar problems, not sure if that had any lasting effects | 18:16 |
| Xano | tomreyn, The bug report I found linked by someone else is options snd-hda-intel | 18:16 |
| Xano | is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem-osp1/+bug/1864061 | 18:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1864061 in linux-oem-osp1 (Ubuntu Eoan) "PCI/internal sound card not detected" [Undecided,Fix released] | 18:16 |

| Guest_8 | Hi, I have a problem with apt update and DNS. I wonder if someone can help me figure out what's going wrong. | 18:21 |
| Guest_8 | I have to post this on mobile as I can't get my laptop to connect properly | 18:22 |
| Guest_8 | All of the sources are resolving to a single IP which is a page from the ISP about errors. Every source URL is resolving to 78.33.48.91 | 18:23 |
| Guest_8 | How can I make apt retry resolving these? | 18:23 |
| Guest_8 | It is not a connection issue as I can get on the web via tor. On the machine | 18:25 |
| lotuspsychje | Xano: weird, as they say they merged the fix into focal kernel | 18:26 |
| Guest_8 | There was an ISP problem, we have changed the router and two Xboxes on the network to use another DNS server and they are now working fine. | 18:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Xano: when you boot into 5.4.0-40 you get the dummy? | 18:27 |
| Xano | I'd have to try. Back in a minute! | 18:28 |

| Bluecoat | I've got an 18.10 machine that I want to upgrade to 20.04 but don't have physical access to. The do-release-upgrade tool says it's out of support so it won't auto-update. What do I miss if I change the dist name in my apt list and dist-upgrade that way? | 18:39 |
| sarnold | Bluecoat: you'll probably have better success to change your apt sources lines to use old-releases.ubuntu.com | 18:45 |
| sarnold | Bluecoat: this page is really old but probably not horrible https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 18:45 |
| Bluecoat | sarnold: I'll give that a try. Thanks! | 18:48 |
| Bluecoat | sarnold: hm, looks like I may have done that at some previous date since my source lines were already changed. Still no dice on do-release-upgrade; can't go cosmic->eoan. | 18:52 |
| Bluecoat | sarnold: I think I found how to trick it to upgrade to 19.04, which should let me use the normal upgrade path. | 18:55 |
| sarnold | Bluecoat: yeah you've got to go cosmic, disco, eoan, focal | 18:56 |
| Bluecoat | that got it! | 19:05 |
| sarnold | Bluecoat: nice nice :) | 19:07 |
| Xano | Back with my sound problem! Tried booting into an older kernel but apparently ESC does not get me into the Grub menu, so I booted back into 20.04 to do some more reading, only to find out that not only my HDMI output, but also the built-speakers and headphone jack were recognized again! However, the sound cracked a bit, so I shut down the machine and booted again, and all three sound outputs were gone, and the dummy output was back | 19:08 |
| Xano | again. | 19:08 |
| TJ- | Xano: have you investigated ACPI and the acpi_osi workaround? sounds like a firmware issue to me | 19:09 |
| Xano | So we're talking about a machine I've owned for years, and that I only recently upgraded from 18.10 to 20.04, and I've never had any of these problems before | 19:10 |
| Xano | TJ-, So that seems to rule out a firmware issue? | 19:10 |
| TJ- | Xano: no, since as the kernel evolves it more strictly implements the ACPI specs so things that did work on older kernels fail to work on newer - basically bugs in firmware that the kernel used to be lenient about it no longer accomodates | 19:11 |
| TJ- | Xano: firmware ACPI usually depends on thinking a version of Windows is running and depending on the version enables/configures things differently. When the OS is Linux it will often not fully configure things so acpi_osi= can be used to make Linux say it is the version of Windows the firmware claims to best support, which often solves weird issues like this. See | 19:13 |
| TJ- | https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html | 19:13 |
| dwigton | Ubuntu software in 20.04 has been broken almost since I installed the OS. When I click on a category or search it shows no results. Is there a log for the software center? | 19:19 |
| dwigton | Synaptic and apt work fine. | 19:20 |
| TJ- | dwigton: sounds like a cache bug; there were reports of something like that a while back. Clearing the cache usually solved it | 19:20 |
| TJ- | dwigton: cache in ubuntu/gnome software application, under $HOME/.cache/ somewhere I believe | 19:20 |
| dwigton | TJ-: Hmm, thanks. nothing in .cache looks likely but I'll dig a bit. | 19:23 |
| Xano | TJ-, so you mean the workaround from your site or from the original Ubuntu bug report? | 19:23 |
| Xano | Rebooted twice more, and am getting really inconsistent behavior, with sound outputs showing up only some of the time | 19:24 |
| dwigton | But should be safe to just nuke ~/.cache/* without too many reprisals? loss of some browsing history? | 19:24 |
| TJ- | Xano: that does sound like typical ACPI issues where repeated cold/warm boots/restarts and/or suspend/resumes do different things | 19:25 |
| TJ- | Xano: the workaround is to add the appropriate "acpi_osi=Windows XXXX" to the kernel command line and test. It's easy to do and don't lose anything by trying it | 19:26 |
| TJ- | Xano: incidentially it often improves hidden things like battery life | 19:26 |
| nichlas | I've just installed Ubuntu 8.05 on a box I had with nothing better to do.. wow I miss those times. | 20:24 |
| nichlas | 8.04 of course... | 20:27 |
| === ignapk is now known as horus | ||
| leftyfb | nichlas: Ubuntu 8.04 has been unsupported for 7 years | 20:32 |

| Kali_Yuga | I got an Iphone laying around here I tried to get some images off of it, I used Ifuse before but now it tells me my mount point ls: cannot access '.iphone': Input/output error | 20:32 |
| Kali_Yuga | I also can't delete it rm: cannot remove '.iphone': Input/output error | 20:33 |
| tf9205 | What's Everyone's Opinions of 20.04? | 20:34 |
| Kali_Yuga | anybody knows anything about Ifuse? and why that folder is locked up now and why I can't access or delete it? | 20:34 |
| Kali_Yuga | it's in my home folder | 20:34 |
| nichlas | tf9205: haven't talked to Everyone in a long time. But personally I think it's slower than 8.04 | 20:35 |

| nichlas | tomreyn: thanks | 20:38 |
| Kali_Yuga | I don't know, I deleted Ifuse, still wouldn't work, so I restarted afterwards, now I was able to remove the folder without input/output error | 20:46 |

| xbfrog | i have deleted seahorse which holds i'm guessing the keyring, and i'm still getting prompts to athenticate, any fix? or did i overlook something? | 21:54 |
| xbfrog | ubuntu 20.04 lts gnome | 21:54 |
| Jordan_U | xbfrog: When are you getting prompts to authenticate? And what are you being prompted to authenticate to? | 21:56 |
| xbfrog | i dunno, it appeared after starting firefox, and a game of tetris, seems odd | 21:58 |
| xbfrog | doesn't seem regular | 21:58 |
| xbfrog | but it does say the "logon authentication did not recieve the needed logon | 21:59 |
| xbfrog | but however it did not stop the reboot | 22:00 |
| xbfrog | and never asked for logon | 22:00 |
| xbfrog | just seems odd behavior | 22:01 |
| Jordan_U | xbfrog: My guess would be that network-manager is trying to autoconnect to a wireless network. | 22:12 |
| xbfrog | ok | 22:12 |
| xbfrog | i have a good connection but ok | 22:12 |
| xbfrog | maybe in network manager rather than the actuall connection? | 22:13 |
| xbfrog | i'll wait for the next message | 22:14 |
| jrgilman | hey there, hoping to get some help with my audio issue. I thought I figured out what was causing it but that doesn't seem to be the answer (seemed to happen if my CPU throttled). I'm wondering if this is related to another issue I was having a while back where my audio would randomly get extremely crackly. | 22:16 |
| jrgilman | pusleaudio doesn't report any kind of errors to syslog, i do notice it tends to happen when using applications that are using my microphone more often, but it does happen when not using the mic also | 22:17 |
| Scriptonaut | hey all, I have zoom installed on ubuntu 19.10. It was working great, then randomly a few days ago it started crashing when I start it. I've purged and reinstalled it several times, both from zoom's official .deb as well as from the apt repo. I start it, a window pops up, then it crashes before it can fully start. I can't find anything on this issue online, wondering if someone could help me diagnose a | 22:20 |
| Scriptonaut | nd/or fix the issue | 22:20 |
| zugaaz | hello | 22:22 |
| Scriptonaut | the stdout gives me: Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat... I haven't upgraded recently, so unless nvidia or something is doing upgrades automatically I'm not sure what would have changed with that | 22:23 |
| zugaaz | I just had a snapd update, and now none of my snap programs will start | 22:25 |
| zugaaz | Has this happened to anyone? | 22:25 |
| Scriptonaut | I had something where I installed a new snap package, and then all of my snap binaries stopped working and instead they ran terraform (another snap package I had) | 22:26 |
| Scriptonaut | so I'd type: "cloud auth list" or something, and it would show me the terraform menu | 22:26 |
| zugaaz | The software updater just showed me the update | 22:26 |
| zugaaz | and I clicked update | 22:27 |
| Scriptonaut | I fixed it by removing the binaries for all of them and reinstalling | 22:27 |
| zugaaz | Now nohting snap will work | 22:27 |
| zugaaz | Should I uninstall snapd and reinstall? | 22:27 |
| kostkon | zugaaz, installed the snapd update, started skype, loads fine. | 22:29 |
| zugaaz | huh, that's interesting | 22:30 |
| kostkon | zugaaz, sorry i meant spotify not skype. same difference. both are snaps | 22:30 |
| zugaaz | I have chromium, spotify, brave | 22:30 |
| zugaaz | none of them work | 22:30 |
| zugaaz | slack | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | Scriptonaut: Just to be sure, please "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" and see what updates are available. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1179324/zoom-fails-to-launch-results-in-a-core-dump-and-memory-corruption-exit-code-13 is a similar error caused by a driver / library mismatch. | 22:32 |
| Scriptonaut | Jordan_U: I upgraded. Now my browser font is tiny and looks monospaced lol | 22:37 |
| Scriptonaut | I also rebooted | 22:37 |
| Scriptonaut | I've had this happen on ubuntu before I don't remember what I did to fix it | 22:37 |
| zugaaz | If I uninstall snapd and reinstall | 22:37 |
| zugaaz | will I lose all my snap programs | 22:37 |
| zugaaz | or will they still be ther? | 22:37 |
| Scriptonaut | good news is that fixed zoom | 22:39 |
| oscurochu | i just got a new processor and motherboard, trying to install ubuntu. the only disk appearng in ubuntu is thu flash drive the iso is on, although both my ssd and flash drive show up in my bios. i have the asus z490m plus | 23:09 |
| oscurochu | and my windows hdd boots without issue | 23:10 |
| TheFu | AHCI mode for disks in the bios? | 23:14 |
| oscurochu | the same ssd that doesnt show up already has debian installed, but it won't boot because the initramfs can't locate the disk, which is why i wanted to try installin ubuntu for hopefully newer drivers | 23:14 |
| oscurochu | ill try to check | 23:14 |
| oscurochu | i dont know where that setting could be... | 23:17 |
| kevr | I just upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04. I can no longer pair properly with my bluetooth headphones via blueman. I can pair with it, but it no longer gives me "Headset," "Audio Sink," or "Hands Free" option during setup. The only thing there now is "Serial Port" | 23:20 |
| kevr | Without the proper setting, like Headset or Audio Sink, the headphones don't connect | 23:21 |
| oscurochu | thanks, it boots just fine now | 23:23 |
| oscurochu | except now i have to prevent my nvidia drivers from loading and instead use intel onboard gfx | 23:23 |
| kevr | Interesting.. it worked fine if i did it manually with bluetoothctl, but not with blueman | 23:26 |
