| taty | can i raise pipe-max-size? | 02:36 |
| sarnold | taty: yes, but I'm curious why | 02:42 |
| taty | cause i need to push a little bit more than the default | 02:43 |
| ComputerTech | hmm | 02:43 |
| ComputerTech | i did ps x | 02:44 |
| ComputerTech | https://dpaste.com/DAUB6UX5R | 02:44 |
| ComputerTech | and i see those process's are the exact same | 02:44 |
| ComputerTech | are all of them needed to run? | 02:44 |
| taty | sarnold: ^ | 02:47 |
| sarnold | thanks :) | 02:47 |
| abdulhakeem | can anyone explain or link a doc on what this means and how to do it?: "Note: hddtemp may require root privileges. It defaults to using sudo. Adding hddtemp to your user as a NOPASSWD command is one way to make it work." | 02:48 |
| sarnold | taty: hehe, ewll, that part was a given :) otherwise you wouldn't be looking for an increase.. but I'm curious, are you actually running into problems with how much you're pushing through the pipes? | 02:48 |
| taty | yes, i'm sending some json | 02:48 |
| taty | and it's getting cut off | 02:48 |
| ComputerTech | anyone answered my question yet? | 02:48 |
| ComputerTech | do i need duplicate process's running? | 02:48 |
| sarnold | taty: are you doing intermixed writes? | 02:49 |
| taty | i suppose i can see if it json decodes and if it doesn't append the next pipe to the previous? | 02:49 |
| abdulhakeem | well youre a computer tech you should know | 02:49 |
| abdulhakeem | ;) | 02:49 |
| ComputerTech | thats my nick, doesnt necessarily mean i know everything tech topic | 02:49 |
| sarnold | taty: or are you using write(2) instead of a stdio-style fwrite(3)? | 02:49 |
| taty | but i think just raising the max size would be better | 02:49 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: how are you connecting to your sftp server? | 02:49 |
| taty | i'm using fwrite sarnold | 02:49 |
| ComputerTech | sarnold, putty | 02:49 |
| sarnold | taty: oh *weird* :/ | 02:50 |
| ComputerTech | i'm a windows user ;) | 02:50 |
| sarnold | taty: I think I would have expected fwrite() to write as much as it can, and then loop until there's space to write into the buffer.. | 02:50 |
| sarnold | taty: is the reader able to consume data uickly enough? | 02:50 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: do you know if putty does any "download manager" kind of things to try to get multiple connections going at once "for performance"? I'd hope not.. | 02:51 |
| taty | but the buffer size is too low | 02:51 |
| taty | it's 1mb by default in ubuntu | 02:51 |
| ComputerTech | i dont think so sarnold | 02:51 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: but it sure does look like you'vegot multiple logins at once.. | 02:51 |
| ComputerTech | should i kill all but one process? | 02:51 |
| sarnold | ComputerTech: I'd honestly just leave it alone, heh | 02:51 |
| ComputerTech | like wouldnt all those proccess's use more memory? | 02:51 |
| oerheks | what happens if you kill putty? do connections stay? | 02:52 |
| sarnold | abdulhakeem: so... what other ways does hddtemp support getting root? I'm curious :) | 02:52 |
| ComputerTech | yeah it does | 02:52 |
| ComputerTech | as far as i see | 02:52 |
| ComputerTech | i could have ran the same service multiple times by mistake | 02:52 |
| ComputerTech | xD | 02:52 |

| bobdobbs | Hi all. I often use Charles as a debugging http proxy. Using this helps me to test websites from a mobile browser on my local network. At the moment my mobile browser can't connect to anything if it is configured to proxy through Charles. I want to test to see if the issue is with the phone or Charles... | 03:41 |
| bobdobbs | Can someone suggest an http proxy that I can easily set up on ubuntu? | 03:41 |
| bobdobbs | I've tried installing mitmproxy. But I can't get it running (from either the repo version or from github) | 03:42 |

| === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 | ||
| Thusal06 | I tried to install dual boot Ubuntu with Windows, but I cannot do it because my BIOS Mode changed to 'UEFI' somehow. It was 'Legacy' about a month ago, when I checked. | 05:02 |
| Thusal06 | I can't change it in Boot Utility Setup either. | 05:03 |
| kbdlnx123 | I want to know what Ubuntu had in mind for 20.04 | 05:17 |
| sumagna | Thusal06: so you need help with fixing this "Legacy-UEFI" issue or with dual-booting ubuntu in UEFI mode? | 05:17 |
| Thusal06 | Yes | 05:17 |
| sumagna | Thusal06: with which one? | 05:18 |
| Thusal06 | kbdlnx123 20.04 | 05:18 |
| sumagna | dual booting? | 05:18 |
| Thusal06 | Yes | 05:18 |
| sumagna | oh ok | 05:18 |
| sumagna | kbdlnx123: why? | 05:19 |
| oerheks | kbdlnx123, releasenotes? | 05:19 |
| oerheks | upgrade path is set for aug 6 | 05:19 |
| oerheks | !ltsupgrade | 05:20 |
| ubottu | Regular upgrades from the last but one LTS release to the latest LTS release, 20.04 "Focal Fossa", are enabled days or weeks after 20.04.1 is released. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 05:20 |
| Thusal06 | kbdlnx123 Sorry, I thought you messaged me. | 05:21 |
| sumagna | hey oerheks, can you help Thusal06 with dual booting ubuntu in UEFI mode? I have dual booted in Legacy mode only | 05:21 |
| oerheks | Did you check the UEFI manual? | 05:23 |
| oerheks | !uefi | 05:23 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:23 |
| oerheks | make sure windows is installed in uefi mode too, and fastboot disabled | 05:23 |
| sumagna | windows is installed in uefi mode as he said something about legacy-uefi automatic conversion | 05:24 |
| Thusal06 | oerheks Yeah, my computer was in Legacy mode when I checked System Information last time about a month ago, but now it's changed to UEFI mode. | 05:25 |
| BarnabasDK | UEFI also adds signed boot sectors to the mix - if you enforce secure boot you need the keys for the boot sector added to your bios | 05:26 |
| oerheks | +1 ... | 05:26 |

| ktosiek | Is there some recommended way of maintaining a patched version of a package? I want to install pulseaudio from Ubuntu + some patches, and have something keep up with Ubuntu fixes | 05:45 |
| lotuspsychje | ktosiek: when you keep your ubuntu up to date, you should get all the fixes, patches and resolved bugs automaticly | 06:34 |
| ktosiek | lotuspsychje: sure, but I want to have a custom patch on top of that, and want something to build the patched version for me :-) | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | ktosiek: well that doesnt work exactly that way, the advice method would be filing a bug and let the devs patch it, so it comes into the official updates | 06:36 |
| lotuspsychje | ktosiek: we dont reccomend anything own custom, patches or own compiles/kernel builds | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | ktosiek: but another idea is, you can help contribute the ubuntu devs to patch also? | 06:38 |
| ktosiek | lotuspsychje: It's a backported feature that's not even upstream yet, so it might be a bit early for that. That's why I asked about living with a custom patch. | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | ktosiek: are you sure your patch/fix isnt somewhere else being worked on an existing bug already? | 06:42 |
| ThinkT510 | ktosiek: if it isn't upstream how can it be backported? | 06:42 |
| ktosiek | ThinkT510: oh, wording. It's almost upstream :-P | 06:43 |
| ThinkT510 | ktosiek: it is difficult to inform you how to maintain it if nobody knows what the patch involves. if other patches touch on the same area as your patch then that can break things. hence it is best to upstream your patches and wait for them to trickle down. | 06:46 |
| ThinkT510 | ktosiek: the only advice I can give if you want to keep using your patch and also have other normal updates apply is for you to monitor exactly what each update involves to see if they touch on the same areas as your patch | 06:48 |
| ktosiek | soo... there's no "apt upgrade, but with a rebuild" tool? :-) | 06:49 |
| ktosiek | yeah, I know I'd be responsible for the problems I've introduced and for rebasing, but most of the time I expect things to need no intervention. | 06:51 |
| lotuspsychje | how are the devs suppose to work/fix a patch if nobody is going to file the bug? | 06:52 |
| mceier | ktosiek: binary distributions don't support patching - you have to build the package yourself from the source to apply the patches, apt won't do it for you. This use-case is supported by source-based distributions like gentoo - their package manager supports user patches. | 06:52 |
| ktosiek | it'll trickle down, it's my own patch that I'm already integrating upstream. | 06:52 |
| Angs | Hi, I've just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a VM. python --version shows it uses v2.7. Is that normal. I have downloaded some apt install stuffs. I could set-up a new VM to the default version, but it might be quicker to just ask it. Does anyone know it? | 07:00 |

| Towser | ubuntu or ubuntu server or doesn't it matter? | 11:56 |
| Woet | Towser: of course it matters. | 11:57 |
| Woet | Towser: ask your software vendor what they support. | 11:57 |
| Towser | software vendor? I don't think I have one of thoes, as long as the pbx can support my headset | 11:58 |

| nbusrone | I install a converter script .sh but somehow the guide by user reply mention on changing ffmpeg line 70, what does that mean ? | 12:01 |
| Woet | Towser: figure out which PBX and DHCP servers you want first, then go from there. | 12:02 |
| Woet | Towser: go for Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS if you have no requirements. | 12:02 |
| Woet | nbusrone: no idea, why don't you tell us what it actually says? | 12:03 |
| Woet | I doubt it says "changing ffmpeg line 70". | 12:03 |
| nbusrone | Woet : yeh, "We have to change the command in the 70th line to ffmpeg -y -f s16le -ar 24000 -ac 1 -i "$1.pcm" -ar 8000 "${1%.*}.$2”." | 12:03 |
| Woet | nbusrone: what is unclear? | 12:04 |
| nbusrone | Woet : how to change the line ? | 12:04 |
| Woet | nbusrone: open it in an editor, go to line 70, change it. | 12:04 |
| nbusrone | Woet : which location the ffmpeg installed ? | 12:05 |
| Woet | nbusrone: pretty sure they're referring to the script. | 12:05 |
| Towser | oh I've had an idea, would it be worth running ubuntu on my old macbook for this purpose or would that just run really badly | 12:06 |
| nbusrone | Woet : it a reply from someone to help on converting failure. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42337870/how-to-convert-silk-audio-file-from-wechat-to-amr-format | 12:06 |
| Woet | Towser: it'll run fine. | 12:08 |
| lotuspsychje | Towser: how old is the macbook | 12:08 |
| Woet | nbusrone: as I said, pretty sure they're referring to the script. | 12:08 |
| Towser | lotuspsychje, late 2007 | 12:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Towser: yeah 18.04 and higher will work nicely | 12:10 |
| nbusrone | Woet : i will try and check again but I am not sure whether they are referring the script. | 12:10 |
| Woet | nbusrone: I am sure. | 12:10 |
| herol3oy | hi. i installed transmission-daemon on ubuntu server aws ec2. everything is set but can't reach http://ip:9010? >> i already set a security rule which opens port 9091, too!!! | 12:10 |
| nbusrone | Woet : but what is "brew install " ? i am not running mac. | 12:11 |
| Woet | herol3oy: 9010 is not the same as 9091 | 12:11 |
| Woet | nbusrone: then ignore it. | 12:11 |
| nbusrone | Woet : ok thanks | 12:11 |
| herol3oy | Woet: oh.. my mistake.. it's 9091.. it was just my typo here on that line | 12:13 |
| Woet | herol3oy: what is the error message? | 12:15 |
| herol3oy | Woet: simply i can not reach http://ip:9091 | 12:15 |
| Woet | herol3oy: that's not an error message. | 12:15 |
| herol3oy | this site cana't be reached (on browser) | 12:16 |
| stelucz | Hi, I just deployed machine by MAAS. I kept 13 disks in available state without any partition or format setting except one root disks. I have expected that if the disk is not configured in MAAS then it will be untouched by MAAS, however it seems that all disks were erased by MAAS during deployment. What is the proper way to say MAAS to do not touch | 12:16 |
| stelucz | other disks except these I want to configure? Thanks | 12:16 |
| Woet | herol3oy: please share the entire error message. | 12:16 |
| herol3oy | Woet: alright. there's no err msg. how can i check the err msg which i reach that url?! is it possible? | 12:17 |
| Woet | herol3oy: share a screenshot. | 12:17 |
| Woet | herol3oy: I've never heard of a browser that just says "can't be reached" without any additional information. | 12:18 |
| herol3oy | Woet: https://pasteboard.co/JiYHDZT.png | 12:19 |
| Woet | herol3oy: there's an error message right below. | 12:19 |
| weijunli | I have an URL like http://www.example.com/fetch/1.pdf - and I want to have a command that fetch all pdfs by increasing the number on the filnemae like `../fetch/*.pdf/` | 12:19 |
| herol3oy | Woet: :| | 12:20 |
| Woet | weijunli: did the website give you permission to scrape all their data like that? | 12:20 |
| weijunli | Woet, yes | 12:20 |
| Woet | weijunli: but they didn't just give you a zip of all the files? they want you to brute force it from their site? | 12:21 |
| weijunli | it is an old thing | 12:21 |
| weijunli | can you help or? | 12:21 |
| Woet | weijunli: I see quite a few useful results on Google, https://lmgtfy.com/?q=download+files+incremental+number | 12:25 |
| Woet | will probably require some kind of bash/python/third-party app | 12:25 |
| Thusal06 | Can anyone tell me, how should I dual-boot Ubuntu in UEFI Mode? | 12:26 |
| Woet | just a simple bash loop on the CLI will do the trick | 12:26 |
| sonOfRa | weijunli: do you know roughly how many files, and whether the files are incremental, or if it's just random numbers? | 12:26 |
| Woet | actually, curl can do sequences as well, just use [0-999] | 12:26 |
| weijunli | ye I know they are incremental | 12:26 |
| weijunli | but is it possible to fetch files without knowig their names? | 12:27 |
| sonOfRa | "for i in {0..10000}; do wget -o ${i}.pdf http://example.com/path/${i}.pdf; done" should do the trick | 12:28 |
| sonOfRa | will attempt to fetch 0.pdf, then 1.pdf, then... then 10000.pdf | 12:29 |
| Orcs53 | Another question, I have Docker (installed the snap) on a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu 20.04 server. I have done a few power cycles, and now when I reboot, the Docker daemon no longer starts. | 12:29 |

| NTQ | I can not modprobe -rf cifs and I can not remount again (because the remote is gone) and I can not umount because it was already unmounted. | 12:42 |
| NTQ | What can I do except restarting the system? It is production server with a lot of running services. | 12:42 |
| lotuspsychje | NTQ: try #ubuntu-server if you like | 12:43 |
| nbusrone | Woet : doesn't work , converter.sh: 77: converter.sh: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string | 12:43 |
| NTQ | lotuspsychje: thx | 12:43 |
| Woet | nbusrone: okay, so investigate and fix it. | 12:45 |
| Woet | nbusrone: you don't seem to be putting much effort in yourself | 12:45 |
| nbusrone | Woet : i know nothing about coding line. | 12:46 |
| Woet | nbusrone: then it's time to learn. | 12:46 |

| nbusrone | Woet , everytime i bring up this question no one can answer. | 12:52 |
| Woet | nbusrone: then try another channel like the mailing list. | 12:53 |
| nbusrone | Woet : mailing list ? | 12:54 |
| Woet | nbusrone: https://lists.ubuntu.com/ | 12:54 |
| nbusrone | Woet : you mean email ? anyway , before this , I want to confirm whether it's a bug or not. I don't know what I log need to attach into the mailing where they will reject question | 13:00 |
| Woet | nbusrone: mailing lists don't reject questions. | 13:00 |

| Woet | herol3oy: why are you setting up firewall rules if you don't know the difference between TCP and UDP? | 13:19 |
| Woet | nbusrone: no | 13:19 |
| mbeierl | herol3oy, what type of traffic needs to enter the EC2 instance? | 13:21 |

| gvvg | Hi I'm using ubuntu 20.04 I'm trying to use teamviewer version 12 I'm getting this error ownloads/teamviewer_12.0.258841_i386/teamviewer//tv_bin/TVGuiDelegate: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 14:20 |
| gvvg | when I do locate libXrender.so.1 I get | 14:21 |
| gvvg | >>>/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1 | 14:21 |
| gvvg | so this file is on my system but teamviewer is not finding it not sure how to fix this | 14:21 |
| grub_help | Hi, can anyone help me with grub dual boot? I have no idea how that works on a uefi system | 14:23 |
| ocean | !multiarch | 14:23 |
| ocean | gvvg: teamviewer_12.0.258841_i386 is build for 32bit (i386), you found the lib in the amd64 (x86_64) folders. You should either find/run a 64 bit teamviewer, or you can run ubuntu "multiarch" (add 32bit libraries) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch | 14:25 |
| gvvg | oh can I install the libXrender.so.1 386? | 14:26 |
| gvvg | ocean: thank you | 14:27 |
| JDBugy | Hello, does anyone know why my "FTTH ISP" provider tries every second to my WAN IP side, a DHCP/ Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) Port 68, who can give me information? | 14:28 |
| gvvg | is there an apt install for libXrender 386? | 14:31 |
| leftyfb | JDBugy: contact "FTTH ISP"? | 14:31 |
| leftyfb | JDBugy: your question is not related to Ubuntu in any way | 14:31 |
| ocean | gvvg: actually, I'm not sure if the (meta) package for ia32 libs still ships with 20.04. might have been dropped for a while now | 14:31 |
| gvvg | ocean: thank you | 14:32 |
| ocean | gvvg: better option, download the x86_64 package of teamviewer | 14:32 |
| ocean | https://www.teamviewer.com/nl/download/linux/ | 14:33 |
| gvvg | worked when I used dpkg and forced depends :) Thank you | 14:49 |
| Exoplat | I'm trying to update my server with a new Plesk version but I'm running into a couple of issues... First one is that I'm getting an error 404 when trying to update Dropbox packages (amd64 and i386) | 14:58 |
| Exoplat | The second is that I need the package "icu-devtools" but can't find it.. apt-cache search yields nothing, quick google search shows it exists | 14:58 |
| Exoplat | Forgot to mention: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 14:59 |
| Exoplat | icu-devtools is more important to me at the moment than Dropbox.. any input would be great! | 14:59 |
| leftyfb | Exoplat: Ubuntu 12.04 is EOL and not supported here. Neither dropbox nor Plex are part of the official Ubuntu repos's and cannot be supported here | 15:00 |
| Exoplat | What about icu-devtools? | 15:02 |
| leftyfb | Exoplat: to install icu-devtools on a supported version of Ubuntu run: sudo apt install icu-devtools. To keep it updated just run: sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade | 15:03 |
| leftyfb | Exoplat: you really need to upgrade your Ubuntu to one that hasn't been EOL for 4 years | 15:03 |
| leftyfb | sorry, 3.2 years | 15:04 |
| Exoplat | I'm doing that as well, it will take time tho'.. in the meantime wanted to provide better server support on the current system | 15:05 |
| leftyfb | Exoplat: that is not an option. Unless you contact Canonical about their ESM program of paid support. | 15:06 |
| Exoplat | Err thank you | 15:10 |

| bipin | Hey , I installed Lubuntu a month ago , few days ago I got into issues like not having sudo permission(my mistake) , I solved this issue by using some commands as a root user in recovery mode , after I fixed this using this , my laptop has become heavy | 15:43 |
| bipin | in what possible ways can i solve this? | 15:43 |
| bipin | Can I restart my whole Lubuntu os , with just terminal commands , I am ok with loosing my data | 15:44 |
| Sven_vB | on bionic: <<<'// -*- coding: utf-8, tab-width: 2 -*-' file --mime - # result: "/dev/stdin: text/plain; charset=us-ascii" why? and how do I fix it? | 15:48 |
| blaster | I am having trouble starting my courier-imap daemon. It just says "fail" but I can't find output in any log files. | 15:52 |
| blaster | I checked syslog and mail.log but there's no output. | 15:53 |
| Sven_vB | blaster, might it be running in a chroot? | 15:56 |
| Sven_vB | bipin, are you looking for the "reboot" command? if data loss is acceptable, you could also just power-cycle the machine. | 15:57 |
| bipin | how to do that ? power cycle ? | 15:57 |
| Sven_vB | bipin, if it has a main power switch next to the power cord, turn it off and on; if it doesn't or it's too far away, usually you can just hold the front power button for about 4 seconds, it should then turn off. after a few seconds press again to start again. | 15:59 |
| blaster | Sven_vB, it's not | 15:59 |
| blaster | where would an init.d daemon log it's error messages? | 15:59 |
| Sven_vB | blaster, I don't support init.d, but in worst case you could try and strace the daemon process. | 16:00 |
| rfm | Sven_vB, What do you think is wrong with that file command result? afaik file looks at the actual content of a text file to determine charset; it certainly doesn't care about the emacs -*- tags... | 16:01 |
| Sven_vB | rfm, I hoped it would. :( | 16:03 |
| Sven_vB | blaster, a daemon not logging anything could also be due to failure to even start the daemon executable. | 16:03 |
| blaster | Sven_vB, yeah I was wondering about that. It's weird because courier-imap starts properly but courier-imap-ssl just says fail with no explanation. | 16:05 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | I'm parameterizing a build script that works on a few distros, and part of that is creating a user with sudo powers. I generally add user to wheel group, then create a rule for wheel. For Ubuntu (only), I've got to create the group first. Is there a different convention than wheel for Ubuntu? | 16:20 |
| Mibix | can someone explain to me this smartd.conf configuration? I have had 2 pending sectors on a drive for a while and I added the line /dev/sdl -C 197+ which I though would make it so I only got smartd alerts if the pending sectors increased above 2 but it keeps sending me them still. What is the corrent line to add? | 16:20 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: just add the new user to the sudo group | 16:31 |
| leftyfb | and adm maybe | 16:32 |
| shibboleth | Mibix, paste.debian.net smartctl -a /dev/foo | 16:40 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | leftyfb: well I don't want to affect all sudo-capable users, theoretically. I'm setting no-passwd abilities, and the standard AFAIK is wheel, based on the example in the official sudoers config | 16:41 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: wheel doesn't exist by default on debian-based distro's like ubuntu. Just add the new user to sudo and create a suoders entry for said user as needed | 16:43 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | leftyfb: and in general by default no users are already members of sudo? | 16:48 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: depends on the install. The standard desktop and server iso installers will add the main user to the sudo group | 16:49 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | leftyfb: right, so I don't really want to use sudo group. I'll just create wheel. Thanks | 16:50 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: I don't understand why | 16:50 |
| Mibix | shibboleth http://paste.debian.net/1157549/ | 16:50 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | leftyfb: I don't like the idea of affecting the permissions of more users than what I'm really targeting. I guess I shouldn't even use wheel, but create a new group anyway. | 16:51 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: adding a user to the sudo group does not affect the permissions of other users | 16:52 |

| agopo | Somehow I encountered a package dependency problem concerning the packages libc6, libc6-dev and libc-dev-bin. libc6 is version 2.23-0ubuntu10 while the other two are 2.23-0ubuntu11. The apt upgrade process fails because of unmet dependencies (also when I try apt-get -f install). Anyone know how I can remove and reinstall all three packages? | 16:53 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | leftyfb: "I'm setting no-passwd abilities" | 16:53 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: are you familiar with sudoers? | 16:54 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: you addd entries for users and/or groups in order to allow passwordless use of sudo against certain tasks | 16:54 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | leftyfb: that is how I add the rule, currently | 16:54 |
| lewie67[p] | Hey all, anyone here a preseed/disk partitioning expert? | 16:54 |
| leftyfb | AndyAndyBoBandy: so add an entry for the new user. That will not affect permissions for any other user | 16:54 |
| AndyAndyBoBandy | I was just using a group. Yeah I guess I could add it for the user specifically instead. Thanks very much | 16:55 |
| Mibix | shibboleth you still around? | 16:56 |
| shibboleth | one moment | 16:56 |
| shibboleth | ah | 16:57 |
| shibboleth | isn't that a WD red SMR-drive? | 16:57 |
| Mibix | nah its old | 16:57 |
| shibboleth | eh | 16:57 |
| shibboleth | yes, and only the 8tb wasn't smr | 16:57 |
| shibboleth | 5700 rpm? | 16:58 |
| Mibix | heh how do i fix the current pending sector | 16:58 |
| shibboleth | Mibix, you haven't run a short/full smart self-test? | 16:58 |
| shibboleth | you haven't | 16:59 |
| shibboleth | it would've been logged :) | 16:59 |
| Mibix | ehh i ran the one in the gui | 16:59 |
| shibboleth | SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 | 16:59 |
| shibboleth | No self-tests have been logged. [To run self-tests, use: smartctl -t] | 16:59 |
| shibboleth | anyway | 17:00 |
| shibboleth | so, it's somewhat risky if you have valuable data on the drive | 17:00 |
| shibboleth | but you could do some dd-fu and manually write to the sectors and see what happens | 17:00 |
| Mibix | yeah cant seem to determine the bad sector | 17:01 |
| Mibix | do i need to do a full smart test for that? | 17:01 |
| shibboleth | well, that isn't guaranteed to do the trick | 17:04 |
| shibboleth | least-effort dirty trick: | 17:04 |
| shibboleth | back up the drive contents or make a sector copy | 17:04 |
| shibboleth | then overwrite the drive from urandom/zero | 17:05 |
| shibboleth | it'll make the drive mark/reallocate the bad/troubled sectors | 17:05 |
| shibboleth | then write back | 17:05 |
| shibboleth | or | 17:05 |
| shibboleth | get a toshiba 6tb | 17:05 |
| shibboleth | cheaper, 7200rpm, better :) | 17:05 |
| shibboleth | just get the n300, not the p300 | 17:06 |
| shibboleth | still, the WD is likely SMR so it'll take "a while" | 17:06 |
| Mibix | http://paste.debian.net/1157551/ | 17:07 |
| Mibix | after short test | 17:07 |
| Mibix | ive had current pending sectors on drives and they have lasted for 3 years without issues after | 17:08 |
| Mibix | this is all backed up | 17:08 |
| shibboleth | the short test only tests the mechanics and first/last N sectors | 17:12 |
| Mibix | so how do i get the sector numbers of the sectors that are broken? | 17:17 |
| shibboleth | there should be oopses in dmesg | 17:26 |
| shibboleth | that is, if you kept logs or did not reboot | 17:26 |
| Mibix | lol what? | 17:34 |
| M_aD | Mibix: can't you see the bas sectors in Disks? | 17:38 |
| M_aD | bas/bad | 17:38 |
| Mibix | i see 2 pending sectors and that is it | 17:38 |
| Mibix | doesnt give me the sector number | 17:38 |
| Mibix | i want the two sector numbers to overwrite them | 17:39 |

| shibboleth | Mibix, which sectors would be printed to dmesg | 17:51 |
| shibboleth | but unless you kept the logs or did not reboot maybe not | 17:51 |
| shibboleth | look in syslog | 17:51 |
| shibboleth | dmesg | grep sector | 17:51 |
| shibboleth | cat /var/log/syslog | grep sector | 17:51 |
| shibboleth | cat /var/log/syslog.$foo | grep sector | 17:52 |

| iffraff | hi, I have ubuntu 20.04 installed and a new pair of jabra ear buds. But I can't get them to connect via the bluetooth manager. | 19:47 |
| iffraff | They did show up once, I think but now they are not showing up at all. | 19:47 |
| tripleb | Well no answer about a light install for my old buddy who forgets his password. Do ANY of the Ubuntu distributions lock the root access like mint does? | 19:49 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, I had similar problems a few days ago on xenial. I had to remove the device by MAC via CLI, then re-pair it. if yours is paired ok, maybe you can connect to it via CLI. also make sure your bluetooth antenna isn't accidentially disabled. | 19:49 |
| Sven_vB | tripleb, you can always reset the root password via a rescue chroot from a live CD. have you tried using bash as the init program already? | 19:50 |
| tripleb | cheese only sees dark It worked in the past because I see some snaps I took what can I do? | 19:52 |
| iffraff | Sven_vB: HI, it's not showing up in the bluetooth manager in the available devices. I am able to pair with a different device | 19:52 |
| iffraff | or I was | 19:52 |
| tripleb | wait on that one... ^^^^ remove question for a minute. | 19:52 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, yeah I assi,e the graphical BT manager isn't capable to deal with the current state of affairs. thus my idea to fix it on CLI. | 19:54 |
| Sven_vB | *assume | 19:54 |
| iffraff | so, what cli commands should i run? or is there someting I can read up on that will explain it? | 19:54 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, I think it was "bluetoothctl", then enter "help" into it | 19:55 |
| tripleb | re cheese, or oom, ie using the camera. Is there any way for me to get a more wide-angle image, some kind of add-on hardware? I have to be 8 feet from my camera to get my feet to my head in the pic with a bit of buffer for movement. I want to accomplish this at a lesser distance. Thanks. | 19:57 |
| Sven_vB | tripleb, a lens would seem to be the obvious hardware choice. or maybe I don't understand that part of the question. | 19:57 |
| oerheks | buy a better camera? | 19:59 |
| oerheks | not an ubuntu software issue, nor your mint | 19:59 |
| iffraff | Sven_vB: Hi, I'm in the cli, devices shows some drek that I don't know what it is, paired devices is empty. I turned on scan, but it didn't pick. Not sure what I should tryin in there | 20:02 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, do you know the MAC of the earbuds? | 20:02 |
| oerheks | some devices need a special button to be pressed to get found | 20:03 |
| iffraff | no, I don't know how to find that | 20:03 |
| iffraff | oerheks: yes I put it in "pairing" mode and in about 3 seconds it said "no devices found" | 20:03 |
| oerheks | mac address is usually on the box | 20:03 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, do you have any way to verify whether you need the unknown devices to stay paired? else I'd suggest removing them. because known devices don't show up in the scan. | 20:04 |
| iffraff | I see the model number | 20:04 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, you can discover the MAC by connecting the earbuds to another computer, if that works for you | 20:05 |
| iffraff | got a meeting back in a few | 20:05 |
| texla | Ubuntu 20.4 How do I change the 71 gb volume designation to focal in files | 20:05 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, connect shouldn't even be necessary; any Ubuntu that doesn't know the earbuds should be able to see them in scan, and report their MAC that way. | 20:06 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, using the MAC you can then connect explicitly. | 20:06 |
| Sven_vB | texla, do I understand correctly you mean to rename a disk partition? | 20:07 |
| Sven_vB | texla, if so, gparted can do it. after the change you may need to reboot to see the effects everywhere. | 20:08 |
| texla | Sven_vB, thanks for the help | 20:13 |
| lewie67[p] | Hey all, is anyone well versed in preseed? | 20:15 |
| Sven_vB | lewie67[p], people may be more willing to admit their knowledge if you give more details. | 20:17 |
| lewie67[p] | Sven_vB: fair enough. I was working with TJ- a few nights ago on a networking problem | 20:18 |
| lewie67[p] | Basically when i preseed a new 20.04 system it generates an /etc/network/interfaces file that appears to stop NetworkManager from managing the wired interface | 20:19 |
| lewie67[p] | therefore on boot the interface won't come up until i run dhclient and/or remove the /etc/network/interfaces file | 20:19 |
| lewie67[p] | main issue is i'm not sure why the interfaces file is getting created in the first place as ifupdown isn't even installed... | 20:19 |
| lewie67[p] | i tried deleting the file in late_command of the preseed but that doesn't seem to do it...like it gets recreated on first boot or something | 20:20 |
| tripleb | I am reinstalling ubuntu because mint wont let me reset a forgotton password, for a friend. What will I find missing on puppy lnux> | 20:20 |
| Sven_vB | lewie67[p], I know a maybe-related bug, checking. | 20:20 |
| Sven_vB | lewie67[p], might NM's unwillingness to manage cable ethernet be from /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf ? | 20:22 |
| lewie67[p] | Sven_vB, TJ- mentioned that the other night...didn't seem to be the issue | 20:22 |
| lewie67[p] | current state is i have a freshly preseeded 20.04 VM in which the network doesn't come up at boot time | 20:23 |
| lewie67[p] | if i delete /etc/network/interfaces and reboot the network will come up on boot forever after | 20:23 |
| Sven_vB | lewie67[p], ok then. I for one switched from preseeding to {cloud-init or multistrap} + preparation via chroot. much more comfortable imho. | 20:23 |
| lewie67[p] | Sven_vB, not familiar with those...i'm using foreman to manage my hosts | 20:24 |
| lewie67[p] | the thing that is confusing me is that *i think* the interfaces file is created by/for ifupdown...but it's not even installed so what is creating that file? | 20:26 |
| Sven_vB | lewie67[p], what's in that file actually? in mine there's just a kind of "redirect" to a directory of config files. | 20:27 |
| Sven_vB | lewie67[p], dpkg -S /etc??? might tell you what package it came from | 20:27 |
| lewie67[p] | https://paste.centos.org/view/99fde4b6 | 20:27 |
| lewie67[p] | it's not very exciting | 20:27 |
| lewie67[p] | Sven_vB, part of the issue (personally) is that I am more of a RHEL derivative guy so the way ubuntu handles networking has thrown me for a loop :P | 20:28 |
| Sven_vB | I can't see the paste unfortunately. seems they don't serve the TOR network. | 20:29 |
| lewie67[p] | maybe this one: https://pastebin.com/KASrfXYy | 20:30 |
| lewie67[p] | unfortunately dpkg -S doesn't come back with anything useful :/ | 20:31 |
| Sven_vB | works. :) | 20:31 |
| Sven_vB | oh that is unexpected indeed. what image do you use? | 20:31 |
| Sven_vB | (unexpected = the config) | 20:31 |
| Sven_vB | well I guess one way would be to use systemd-networkd instead of NetworkManager. | 20:32 |
| lewie67[p] | Sven_vB, not using an image. the system builds from local repos defined in the preseed file | 20:32 |
| Sven_vB | sounds exotic to me, probably because I don't know about foreman. :D | 20:33 |
| lewie67[p] | what's the relationship between netplan, systemd-networkd, and NetworkManager? This all seems needlessly confusing to me ;) | 20:34 |
| Sven_vB | the foreman quickstart guide looks like 20.04 isn't even supported yet. https://www.theforeman.org/manuals/2.1/quickstart_guide.html | 20:35 |
| lewie67[p] | Sven_vB, thanks for the help so far, but unfortunately i have to be AFK now...family duties and what not :) | 20:36 |
| lewie67[p] | Ok, i'll look for more info on the foreman side too. Thanks again! | 20:36 |
| Sven_vB | also it says for bionic it uses puppet, I have a lot of bad memories of puppet. I like ansible now. (with a custom translator in front.) | 20:36 |
| lewie67[p] | No worries, the ansible stuff i'm good with...biggest issue is i don't want to have to dhclient every new system the first time before i can run my ansible roles ;) | 20:37 |
| Sven_vB | good luck then :) | 20:37 |
| Sven_vB | well then cloud-init sounds like a good idea. | 20:37 |
| Sven_vB | as far as I've heard it's a pre-made ext filesystem image that you can mount to preconfigure files on it, then just copy it onto a disk and boot it. | 20:38 |
| iffraff | Hi so I was having trouble with my bluetooth earbuds not showing up in ubuntu 20.04 | 20:41 |
| iffraff | Sven_vB: on my phone I can see the devices bluetooth address, but I think that's different | 20:41 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, it should be 6 pairs of hex digits | 20:42 |
| iffraff | yes, but is that specific to my phone or the device | 20:42 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, I guess it's worth a shot in the dark to just ask bluetoothctl "info hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh" or maybe "connect hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh" | 20:43 |
| iffraff | I also have serial numbers and product id | 20:43 |
| iffraff | ok | 20:43 |
| iffraff | ah it says device not available | 20:44 |
| Sven_vB | if bt???ctl interferes with your terminal emulator's copy/paste, you can tame it by invoking it as "rlwrap bluetoothctl" | 20:45 |
| iffraff | sorry I didn't get that | 20:46 |
| Sven_vB | I remembered that the first part of a MAC specifies the vendor, so you could look it up in some web database to maybe see which device it is. | 20:46 |
| iffraff | well, it seems that the computer doesn't see any device at all. | 20:47 |
| Sven_vB | does it see its own antenna? what's the antenna's status? | 20:47 |
| iffraff | not sure. would that be a command in the bluetoothctl? | 20:47 |
| Sven_vB | yes, I think "adapter" | 20:48 |
| iffraff | if I do list I get a controller | 20:48 |
| Sven_vB | first check rfkill, it has an easier interface :) | 20:48 |
| Sven_vB | also "nmcli radio" | 20:48 |
| iffraff | if I do show I get a large read out with various stuff, my name powered: yes, pairable:yes | 20:49 |
| Sven_vB | nevermind the nmcli, that was wifi only | 20:49 |
| iffraff | ok rfkill shows wlan and bluetooth both unblicked | 20:49 |
| Sven_vB | that's good. :) I'll wait for your results on whether the MAC belongs to the earpod manufacturer | 20:50 |
| iffraff | he bluetooth address I have is definitely from my earpods but I'm getting it through my phone. It does not however say mac just bluetooth address but it is a hex | 20:51 |
| Sven_vB | yeah I think MAC is the only possible kind of bluetooth address. | 20:51 |
| iffraff | ok, so it's definitely the one but when I tried "connect bla:mymac" it said device not available. | 20:52 |
| Sven_vB | ok then in bt???ctl try "remove hh:???" in case there are any remains, then let the earpod pair and try "pair hh:???" | 20:52 |
| iffraff | ok | 20:52 |
| iffraff | Sven_vB: no dice. I feel like there is something not turned on or some setting that needs to be changed somewhere | 20:56 |
| jeremy31 | iffraff: post URL from terminal for> (lsusb; dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm') | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:57 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, in my case it was pulseaudio acting up, that can be even more hairy. is reboot cheap for you or should we try to stop and start services individually? | 20:57 |
| iffraff | jeremy31: heres the url | 20:59 |
| iffraff | Sven_vB: it's kind of a pita. I've rebooted several times since this problem began. | 20:59 |
| iffraff | I'm happy to do things manually | 20:59 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, ok then stop the bluetooth service, (watch syslog to see when it's really done stopping), stop PA ("pacmd exit", it restarts automatically when needed), start BT. | 21:01 |
| jeremy31 | iffraff: where is the URL? | 21:01 |
| iffraff | jeremy31: actually I didn't have the parens, I'm not sure if that matters this url is with the parens in your statment | 21:01 |
| iffraff | https://termbin.com/b4l67 | 21:01 |
| Sven_vB | ewww ok you've got entirely another beast there, [ 4556.163856] bluetoothctl[57937]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f81f64d49f2 sp 00007ffea6594a88 error 4 in libc-2.31.so[7f81f6373000+178000] | 21:01 |
| iffraff | oh, well, I guess, it doesn't matter then does it? I forgot to paste it :) | 21:01 |
| iffraff | uh... that doesn't sound good | 21:02 |
| Sven_vB | sounds like you might need a non-default firmware | 21:02 |
| Sven_vB | or driver or both | 21:02 |
| iffraff | for my laptop bt or for the earbuds | 21:03 |
| Sven_vB | for the BT antenna | 21:03 |
| jeremy31 | You might want to see if bluetooth works on 18.04 | 21:03 |
| iffraff | hmm, well, ok, how do I mess with the firmware? | 21:03 |
| iffraff | or maybe even just reinstall the firmware? | 21:04 |
| Sven_vB | a lazy alternative might be to just (buy and) plug a cheap USB BT antenna instead. | 21:04 |
| iffraff | ug, I think I have one somewhere but then how do I tell it to use that rather than the built in one? | 21:05 |
| Sven_vB | jeremy31's idea is a good one though. if you get it to work with any ubuntu version, it might give clues on how to make it work in another version. | 21:05 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, my approach for that is to have a startup script that rfkill blocks the internal antenna. | 21:06 |
| iffraff | you been via a bootup usb | 21:06 |
| iffraff | so if I do rfkill I will see the plugin bt antenna as well? then I can just block the old one. | 21:06 |
| Sven_vB | if you want to try multiple versions of live CD in quick succession, I'd recommend making a SuperGRUB Disk USB thumb drive that can then boot the Live CD ISOs from disk. it's also faster that way. | 21:07 |
| Sven_vB | yes rfkill should see all available antennae. | 21:07 |

| jeremy31 | It might have already caused too many problems | 21:16 |
| Sven_vB | oh, you're right | 21:17 |
| iffraff | well, that's hanging up my cli. I"ll try again | 21:17 |
| Sven_vB | iffraff, sudo might be waiting for the password. you can also run "sudo -Es", then in there echo blacklist rtbth >/etc/modprobe.d/rtbth.conf | 21:18 |
| iffraff | yea, I'm entering my pw and it's just stying there | 21:18 |
| iffraff | I'll try -Es | 21:18 |
| iffraff | ok, the cli was just pooched. so I did the whole line and it responded blacklist rtbth | 21:20 |
| Sven_vB | if you have a physical switch to disable the antenna, you can also try toggling that; if you're lucky it will cut power and thus reset the (potentially confused) antenna | 21:20 |

| cluelessperson | I've disabled finger touch events so I can use my screen for math/drawing | 21:59 |
| Sven_vB | cluelessperson, I'd investigate "xinput list" to find the stylus's xinput device ID, then use one of the xinput test modes to watch for an event that occurrs when the stylus comes near the surface. | 22:02 |
| cluelessperson | Sven_vB, something like that | 22:02 |
| cluelessperson | Sven_vB, the on screen keyboard appears when I use my finger to touch a text box. but not with the stylus | 22:03 |
| cluelessperson | so it's already doing that, but I need it to occur with the stylus | 22:03 |

| Intelo | jeremy31: Sven_vB dell m6700 ships with a built in bluetooth | 22:24 |
| jeremy31 | Intelo: no bluetooth device | 22:25 |
| Intelo | I wonder.. | 22:25 |
| Intelo | jeremy31: what could be the issue? | 22:26 |
| jeremy31 | Intelo: I don't see one of the Dell Bluetooth devices I know of in lsusb results and the Intel 6300 wifi card doesn't have bluetooth | 22:27 |
| abdulhakeem | Does tasksel LAMP stack use mariadb or mysql? | 22:36 |
| abdulhakeem | and also does it matter if you use mariadb or mysql | 22:36 |
| Bliepo32 | abdulhakeem, https://www.guru99.com/mariadb-vs-mysql.html | 22:39 |
| abdulhakeem | ty | 22:39 |
| Sven_vB | Intelo, might it be disabled in the BIOS/EFI config utility? | 22:41 |
| Bliepo32 | Most important is probably that mariadb is opensource and mysql is owned by oracle | 22:41 |
| Intelo | Sven_vB: no but will recheck. I enabled an hour ago | 22:41 |
| abdulhakeem | I somehow borked my mysql installation and every time I try to do mysql_secure_installation it says it can't connect to the socket | 22:48 |
| abdulhakeem | tried mysql and mariadb and it's the same thing | 22:48 |
| abdulhakeem | I'm not sure what I did but I broke something in the course of trying to install phpmyadmin | 22:49 |
| abdulhakeem | verified that the service was running | 22:49 |
| abdulhakeem | bout to just nuke this server and start fresh | 22:49 |
| Bliepo32 | https://mariadb.com/kb/en/troubleshooting-connection-issues/ | 22:49 |
| Bliepo32 | Can also just apt purge the mysql / mariadb packages | 22:51 |
| edgars | https://pastebin.com/0PQRn1ZW | 22:51 |
| cluelessperson | Sven_vB, I'm answering problems with a test and need it to enter keyboard keys | 22:51 |
| edgars | Error in network definition: bond: interface enp3s0f1 is not defined | 22:52 |
| abdulhakeem | yeah ive purged and isntalled several times now, doesnt help | 22:52 |
| edgars | wtf? | 22:52 |
| abdulhakeem | also tried deleting /etc/mysql and /var/lib/mysql | 22:52 |
| Bliepo32 | Did you check the page I linked? | 22:52 |
| Sven_vB | cluelessperson, would it help to start the OSK manually, or do you need a permanent solution? | 22:53 |
| abdulhakeem | yeah | 22:53 |
| abdulhakeem | looking now | 22:53 |
| cluelessperson | Sven_vB, yeah, that's fine, how do I do that? | 22:53 |
| Sven_vB | cluelessperson, no idea, but now that the problem is simplified, someone else might know. :) | 22:53 |
| Sven_vB | cluelessperson, in Xfce I had an applications menu with accessoires > OnScreen keyboard | 22:54 |
| Sven_vB | cluelessperson, or when you start it with your fingers, you could check its config dialog, maybe there's a checkbox for when to hide it | 22:55 |
| hansh__ | after running apt purge mariadb-server; apt purge mysql-server; why does /usr/sbin/mysqld still exist? | 23:03 |
| hansh__ | (ubuntu 20.04) | 23:03 |
| Sven_vB | on focal, is there a way to put an override file (like /etc/default/anacron.d/01-powersave.conf) instead of modifying /etc/default/anacron? | 23:04 |
| Sven_vB | ok found the warning, for this setting I'll need to turn to systemd instead. but is there an override mechanism in general, for other /etc/defaults files? | 23:05 |
| dtux | is there a way to prevent a window from jumping into my workspace and stealing focus when it raises an alert/popup/etc? | 23:07 |
| leftyfb | dtux: yes | 23:10 |
| hansh__ | have a problem with apt purge mysql-server; apt purge mariadb-server; not actually removing mariadb, is it a bad idea to run > find / -iname maria -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rfv | 23:11 |
| hansh__ | ? | 23:11 |
| leftyfb | dtux: there are multiple gnome extensions | 23:11 |
| sarnold | hansh__: better, to find the files and apt purge those, too | 23:13 |
| geosmile | does anyone know if the fuse fs support inotify? | 23:17 |
| Sven_vB | hansh__, it is indeed a bad idea, at least the command looks broken in several ways. | 23:23 |
| Sven_vB | hansh__, I'd use find with -iname '*maria*' to find related files, then decide manually which of those to delete. and if you're really going to auto-delete (potentially lots of) stuff, find has a command for that built-in. :) | 23:24 |
| hansh__ | Sven_vB, how so? did you know that most linux filesystems support newlines in filenames, and xargs by default splits by newlines, but -print0 tells find to split files by null-bytes rather than newlines, and -0 tells xargs to split arguments by null bytes rather than newlines? | 23:25 |
| Sven_vB | hansh__, where possible I like to also separate files from options with -- , especially for potentially-destructive commands. | 23:26 |
| Sven_vB | hansh__, yes I knew the -print0 and xargs -0 | 23:27 |
| jo-erlend | Sven_vB, how long have you been on the GNU+Linux platform? | 23:27 |
| Sven_vB | jo-erlend, I've no idea | 23:28 |
| jo-erlend | Sven_vB, :) | 23:28 |
| Sven_vB | back then, the alternative would have been to install WinXP SP2, which was still supported at that time. | 23:29 |
| Sven_vB | maybe a decade? | 23:29 |
| jo-erlend | Sven_vB, 2002 then. Way too old for me. I'm into newbies. :) | 23:30 |
| dtux | leftyfb: aha! know the name of any off the top of your head? | 23:31 |
| Sven_vB | dtux, in Xfce there's in system settings a checkbox whether to allow focus stealing, I think in window manager tweaks. maybe your DE has that, too. | 23:32 |
| dtux | Sven_vB: hmm, ok i'll take a look, ty | 23:36 |
| * dtux doesn't see anything in gnome settings | 23:38 | |
| Sven_vB | do we have nice drop-in replacements for anacron? | 23:42 |
| gnoob | I installed the Ubuntu terminal from the Windows app store. Is there any reason to not treat it the same way as a full Ubuntu bootable install. Examples like running apt update and program installs and whatnot? | 23:42 |
| Sven_vB | gnoob, can it run gparted and manage disk partitions? | 23:42 |
| gnoob | it says I can install gparted after running $gparted. I ran $df -h and it shows my C and D drives. | 23:44 |
| Sven_vB | gnoob, do you have a USB thumb drive available for an experiment? | 23:45 |
| gnoob | um...maybe | 23:46 |
| gnoob | let me look | 23:46 |
| Sven_vB | gnoob, install gparted and try to use it to change the filesystem label of any partition on the thumbdrive. last time I tried, this would fail in the Windows Store Ubuntu. | 23:47 |
| Sven_vB | if nowadays gparted works in there, it would be really nice, then you could use windows to prepare to install GRUB :D | 23:48 |
| gnoob | it does not seem to see the USB drive automatically | 23:48 |
| Sven_vB | back when I tried, some web forum's explanation was that the Windows Subsystem for Linux doesn't have direct disk access | 23:51 |
| Sven_vB | also I remember I had to jump annoying hoops to get squid to auto-start in WSL | 23:54 |
| tomreyn | i think there's a separate channel for wsl | 23:54 |
| tomreyn | !wsl | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide | 23:54 |
| gnoob | Sorry, have not used Linux in a while trying to remember / figure out how to do what you are asking. | 23:55 |
| gnoob | that's what I followed | 23:55 |
| Sven_vB | let's continue on #ubuntu-on-windows | 23:56 |
| gnoob | OK | 23:58 |
