Sven_vBcontinuing on how to make my process survive after logout of my lightdm/ openbox session on Ubuntu focal. logind.conf has "#KillUserProcesses=no¶ #KillOnlyUsers=¶ #KillExcludeUsers=root". I started a terminal emulator, "sudo -b setsid nohup sleep 5d; exit" wait until the terminal closes, then via SSH I check "ps u -C sleep" and see it. via SSH I stop lightdm, check ps again, and no sleep.00:43
rr123why is 20.04 still using a really old luarocks for lua01:11
rr123some new packages refused to be installed due to old luarocks on 20.0401:12
usr1987so you can use the snap pkg01:13
rr123no way, I disabled snapd, actually the first thing I fixed that is01:13
rr123then the no-audio with intel-audio driver thing, need fix alsa01:13
rr123just run mount with lines fly by due to various snap mount is enough01:14
rr123just like the GUI/X-windows efforts I expect canonical returns to apt someday :) , I understand everyone wants to have its own "apps store" still01:16

xxnodeSo I found a M.2 TLC PCIE 4.0 x 4 (NVME) SSD, but I wondered whether I would be able to at least use it in a M.2 PCIE 3.0 x4 Motherboard at the max speed that M.2 PCIE 3.0 x4 provides. Someone told me I need to check if the SSD is "backward compatible" so I did & this is the result: " I guess the downside is that currently the only platform to02:00
xxnodesupport this drive is AMD’s X570 chipset. It is however backwards compatible with PCI-Express 3.0 slot, but of course you’ll see decreased performance." source:  https://thinkcomputers.org/aorus-nvme-gen4-ssd-review/8/     My question is , what is meant by "decreased performance", is it that I wont be able to use at  the PCIE 4th Gen speed or02:00
xxnodedo they actually mean that I wont be able to use it at the max PCIE Gen 3 speed that I would get if I were to get a Gen 3 M.2 ? is it that I wont be able to use at  the PCIE 4th Gen speed or do they actually mean that I wont be able to use it at the max PCIE Gen 3 speed that I would get if I were to get a Gen 3 M.2 SSD ?02:00

sarnoldomg samsung so much js ..02:13
sarnoldnoscript is frustrating at the best of times and this site is not the best, haha02:14
sarnoldahhhh they hide the specs under a stupid arrow. I hate those arrows02:14
quadrathoch2"only" there is a reason why MLC is more expensive02:15
sarnoldso mlc vs tlc..02:15
quadrathoch2yup02:15
sarnoldand I'm worried this gigabyte can only do 5GB/s when the requests fit within the 1GB cache02:16
quadrathoch2you would need to compare it to the 970 evo02:16
sarnoldif the workload involves sustained writing, the gigabyte might fall over after ~1s...02:16
quadrathoch2and just imagine, those first gen pci4 are not even at the limit of the bus :/02:17
sarnoldwhat's the workload going to look like? if it's usual desktop, then meh, it'll probably be awesome. if it's OLTP-style work, or continuous writing, it might matter a lot...02:17
sarnoldquadrathoch2: hah and pci 5.0 is on the way...02:18
quadrathoch2idk what to do nowadays with all that bandwith ;)02:18
quadrathoch2everything gets integrated into the gpu/cpu/mobo02:18
carreraGreetings02:33
carreraDoes Ubuntu 20.04 come with an alternate install option?02:34
quadrathoch2alternate as in? carrera02:34
sarnoldcarrera: it's not tested, but it's currently still biult as a sideeffect of the build process http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-legacy-server/releases/20.04/release/02:35
carreraquadrathoch2, I use to use the alternate to install RAID-002:36
quadrathoch2theoretically that's server not desktop ;) sarnold02:36
sarnoldcarrera: that should be handled by the live installer now, I think02:36
carreraI have to SSD drives on my ASUS G751 laptop that. Currently I have Ubuntu Mate 18.04 on RAID 002:38
carrera*two02:38
carrerasarnold, so I can configure RAID-0 right from the live installer now?02:39
sarnoldcarrera: I believe so, yeah02:39
gsheeranyone here using xrandr?02:40
sarnoldcarrera: when I tested the installer on my machine, I only had one drive on that one.. :/02:40
carrerasarnold, that's great!  :)02:40
carrerasarnold, I had to turn UEFI off when I installed 18.04.  For some reason I wasn't able to install software RAID with UEFI02:42
carrerasarnold, I wonder if I can install 20.04 on RAID0 with UEFI now02:43
gsheeri have a problem with my ubuntu not detecting my VGA output, I'm currenly using xrandr to manage multiple displays. The problem is that xrandr doesn't detect the VGA monitor02:43
sarnoldcarrera: hmmmmmmm. now you've got me a bit afraid that you may have a misconfigured grub, and if you reboot, you may not be able to get back in without rescue media... try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc  and make sure everything looks good02:43
sarnoldgsheer: it's been ages since I've done vga but I have vague memories of some monitors needing to be turned on before the video card, or was it the other way around...02:44
carrerasarnold, I haven't started installing 20.04 yet.  I'm still running 18.04.02:44
sarnoldcarrera: if youre doing a fresh install, uefi is probably the better choice02:45
gsheersarnold not likely I think, you see, if I use a VGA cable directly to the monitor it works, but in this case I'm using a VGA2HDMI adapter02:45
quadrathoch2carrera sounds like you would need to create the UEFI partition outside of the raid002:46
sarnoldgsheer: hmm, some kvm and adapter things have some way to 'buffer' the handshake from the monitor, and some don't..02:46
gsheermaybe the adapter is broke or something, I just bought it today02:47
carrerasarnold, that's what I think too.  Currently, with the legacy BIOS. It takes my laptop a long time to boot 18.04 even though it has a Core i7, 16 GB of RAM and 2 x Samsung 850 Pro SSD drives.02:47
sarnoldcarrera: bioses are bloody slow no matter what :/02:47
carrerasarnold, quadrathoch2, right, it spends a while in BIOS before the Ubuntu Splash page appears.02:48
carreraquadrathoch2, good idea. As I remember UEFI couldn't see my /boot which was on RAID0 too.02:50
quadrathoch2yeah, UEFI wasn't created with raid in mind :(02:50
carreraquadrathoch2, this was 2 years ago when 18.04 first came out. So it's been a while.02:50
carreraquadrathoch2, Oh, Okay.  Is that because UEFI was for MS Windows based PCs?02:52
matsamanUEFI is a broad conspiracy02:52
matsamanit's not tied to a single company02:52
quadrathoch2carrera that I can't tell you, as I have no idea02:52
matsamanalthough I believe Apple pulled it off the most first02:52
matsaman(as plain EFI, sans-U)02:53
carreraOh, that's why I see both UEFI and EFI on the Net02:53
matsamanyeah you don't really see EFI anymore, so it's not a big deal to say either02:53
matsamanbut technically it's UEFI02:53
matsamankinda like P/ATA, I guess02:54
quadrathoch2matsaman apple still uses efi not uefi02:54
carreraThanks for your help quadrathoch2, sarnold and matsaman.02:55
carreraI learned a lot in such a short time.  Should hang around here more often.02:55
matsamanquadrathoch2: what makes you think that?02:55
quadrathoch2matsaman as I work with apple devices. and the u part gets only enabled when you activate bootcamp02:56
matsamancarrera: and I guess they potentially never changed the name of the 'EFI system partition'02:57
matsamanquadrathoch2: that would mean they use both, and therefore UEFI, but I take your point02:57
carreramatsaman, who is they?02:57
matsamanapple02:57
carrerabtw, I though Microsoft started UEFI.  I guess I was wrong.02:58
quadrathoch2not really, as they only add windows specific things (which seems to suffice for linux also)02:58
quadrathoch2carrera no, efi was created way before ms had interest in it :)02:58
carreraOh, Okay02:58
matsamanthey're all invested in it, though, the big processor/computer/software companies02:59
matsamanthey love control02:59
matsamanand UEFI can help with that in some situations03:00
carreraI found this document on installing Ubuntu on RAID0 and UEFI  https://gist.github.com/umpirsky/6ee1f870e759815333c803:00
carreraCan someone take a look and tell me if seems alright03:00
sarnoldcarrera: UEFI is allowed to write to the EFI partition; that dd on line 53 is doing a simple duplication03:01
sarnoldcarrera: and there's no effort made to make sure grub updates update BOTH locations03:01
sarnoldcarrera: if you follow that guide and then install the security update we rleased last week, you won't be able to boot again until you fix your boot loader03:02
carreraOkay03:02
sarnoldcarrera: you may enjoy reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/GRUB2SecureBootBypass03:02
carreraThanks sarnold. I was going to ask what do you recommend I read.  :)03:03
sarnold:D03:03
carreraI will read that when I wake up03:04
quadrathoch2and afaik, wasn't there now a way to manage 2 efi partitions on 20.04?03:04
quadrathoch2*afair03:04
carreraAre you guys on Pacific time btw?03:05
sarnoldquadrathoch2: yeah; dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64   or grub-pc, depending03:05
quadrathoch2sarnold ahh great thanks, good to know :)03:06
quadrathoch2carrera UTC+1 xD03:06
sarnoldcarrera: yeah pacific here03:08
carreraI'm GMT+4:3003:08
carreraIs UTC time the same as GMT?03:09
nlpqdaIs there a way to make wlan card blind to all nearby broadcasting hotspots? Not just prevent it try to connect to them. Instead to be completely unaware of their existance and no ways to make aware of them.03:09
sarnoldcarrera: "mostly" -- the difference between utc and gmt matters only to real time nerds :)03:09
carreraOkay  :)03:10
quadrathoch2gmt is a time zone, utc is a time standard ;) carrera03:10
carreraI thought UTC was a successor to GMT03:10
quadrathoch2carrera countries agreed upon that that's the coordinated universal time, where all countries should + or - for their own timezone.03:11
quadrathoch2gmt itself is a tz, utc not03:12
quadrathoch2it just happens to be the same time03:12
carreraThanks quadrathoch203:12
carrerasarnold, do you work for Ubuntu?03:18
sarnoldcarrera: yeah, I'm on the ubuntu security team03:19
carreraCool!  :)03:19
sarnoldyeah :D03:19
carrerasarnold, are you System Admin or a programmer?03:20
sarnoldcarrera: not much of either, honestly. my main skill is finding bugs when reading source..03:21
carreraReading source code?03:21
carreraI only run Ubuntu on my laptop.  Is there a way I can skip BIOS/UEFI altogether to have a faster boot?03:23
matsamancarrera: you can't skip that part of the boot process, really03:24
matsamanbut03:24
matsamanyou can usually tell your mobo to use "BIOS"03:24
matsamanand you can skip all UEFI nonsense03:24
matsamanand you can avoid shutting down and rebooting almost entirely03:24
matsamanby using suspend/hibernate03:24
carreraright03:24
matsamansome systems call it "legacy" emulation, from the boot menu03:25
sarnoldcarrera: there's a handful of systems where you can replace the bios and get way faster boots03:25
sarnoldhttps://coreboot.org/03:25
sarnoldhttps://libreboot.org/03:25
carreraThanks matsaman, sarnold03:27
sarnoldcarrera: (these should come with 'void your warranty' stickers :)03:27
carreraRight now I'm running 18.04 on BIOS and RAID-0.  I was going to install 20.04 on UEFI, thinking it will boot faster.  I guess UEFI will only make it boot slower, right?03:29
carrerasarnold, thanks for the warning :)03:29
sarnoldI don't know; it probably doesn't change the speed much03:29
quadrathoch2carrera I guess it really depends on what part boots slower03:30
carreraquadrathoch2, good point03:30
quadrathoch2did you ever look in ubuntu what boots slow? or do you assume it's your bios/uefi?03:31
carreraquadrathoch2, actually, it might by Ubuntu03:31
carreraquadrathoch2, no, I didn't look into Ubuntu03:31
tatertotzcarrera: there is a #hardware chat room, modifying or replacing a Dell/HP/ASUS/Acer BIOS is NOT ubuntu related in any way shape or form03:32
quadrathoch2carrera you could still do it with the installed OS, so you know if you want to switch boot method or not03:32
tatertotzcarrera: the settings and or options in your bios is not ubuntu related03:34
quadrathoch2sarnold so I just checked with the live installer, and as far as I see it (i'm still not 100% sure I understand the partitioner in subiquity) it wouldn't work setting up a raid0 with efi partition03:34
quadrathoch2sarnold okay I redact everything I said earlier, the partitioner is quite nice, when you understand the whole setup. so it does work with 2 efi partitions and a raid003:37
sarnoldaha, good good :) I was going to say there's a *LOT* of mentions of raid in the code .. https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020-3247.html03:37
sarnoldSTUPID FIREFOX03:37
sarnoldhttps://github.com/CanonicalLtd/subiquity/search?p=2&q=raid&unscoped_q=raid03:38
quadrathoch2sarnold didn't know redhat wrote the installer for canonical ;)03:38

redcheckershi, is there some way of checking to see if the version of ubuntu that was ported to the nintendo switch a bit over a year ago is considered real ubuntu or not -- someone has been trying to convince me that it is not, and i figured someone here might know.03:40
quadrathoch2oO what did they change?03:40
tatertotzredcheckers: are you actually in possession of a nintendo with ubuntu on it right now?03:43
sarnoldredcheckers: I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the packages on it might be indeed identical with what we ship, but probably there's a lot different, too03:43
sarnoldredcheckers: it's probably not something I'd consider "real ubuntu" but it might be close enough for most uses..03:43
tatertotzredcheckers: oh just something you heard about on the internet eh?03:44
redcheckerstatertotz: yes. i am .03:45
carreraquadrathoch2, sarnold, Ubuntu 18.04 boots a lot slower on my Asus G751 with 4th Gen Core i7 than my older Toshiba Qosmio with 1st Gen Core i703:46
carreraBoth laptops have 2 SSDs in RAID-0 config03:48
quadrathoch2sarnold was too early happy, after updating ubuntu I got a grub shell :/03:48
redcheckerstatertotz: is there anything specific i would want to check?03:48
redcheckerssarnold: okay, thanks.03:49

JonecirHello, this week I changed my internet provider, and since then I keep getting the following message:You connection was interrupted. A network change was detected. ERR_NETWORK_CHANGEDI'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but not using netplan.12:46
BluesKajJonecir, no netplan? what about network-manager?12:47
jaklahi12:47
tatertotzJonecir: where are you seeing that message? have you looked at the logs before and after this occurs?12:48
JonecirBluesKaj: yes no netplan. If I open my network-manager, the connection showing their is disabled, I cannot change anything.12:48
JonecirThat message appears on Chrome, every time I navigate to a page12:48
jaklahmm12:49
BluesKajJonecir, netplan needs network-manager, the yaml file points to it12:49
JonecirI don't have netplan installed.12:49
tatertotzJonecir: does firefox or any other browser show the same msg?12:50
BluesKajhow so ?12:50
JonecirI guess netplan only comes with new ubuntu installations. Mine was upgraded some time ago12:50
BluesKajit's default on systemd12:50
Jonecirtatertotz: I only use chrome12:51
tatertotzJonecir: until you try a different browser, it is totally possible that symptom is isolated specifically to your chrome browser and any plugins,extensions you may have12:52
zethiusIs Ubuntu considered unstable?12:52
zethiusAfter a month or so I have to re-install Ubuntu regardless of how careful I am because it just does not boot.12:53
tatertotzJonecir: but you can only know for certain if you actually test a different browser12:53
Jonecirif I click on "Wired Connected -> Wired Settings", the screen shows "Connected - 1000 Mb/s" and if I click on the config button, everything is disabled.12:53
cybrNautzethius: it's not stable for me.  I get random freezes that require a power cycling.12:54
cybrNautand i'm running a fresh and simple install12:54
Jonecirtatertotz, I'm working in home-office, and the system I use only runs ok on Chrome. So I need to use chrome.12:54
zethiusIs there any other alternatives?12:55
zethiusDebian is stable but it just doesn't appeal to me very much in terms of a daily OS12:55
tatertotzJonecir: also notice you don't bother to view logs either12:55
ViperXL75iron_houzi: I can tell you that the latest ubuntu is using some kinda "Netplan". It runs using a YAML file, and from that YAML file it generates a file which ubuntu uses to create interfaces.  (if i undrstand it correctly)12:55
zethiusLike I view logs every day, I clean up temp files every week and everything12:55
BluesKajJonecir, how old is this pc, and which ubuntu release are you running?12:56
Jonecirtatertotz: I'm not a linux expert. Where I can check the logs?12:56
zethiusJonecir: cd /var/log12:56
zethiusThen cat all the logs12:56
zethiusMainly boot.log, syslog, kern.log, auth.log12:57
zethiusdpkg.log when a package messes up12:57
JonecirBlueskaJ: I have a NUC PC Intell, running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS12:58
JonecirThis error started happening this week as I switched to a new internet provider.12:58
BluesKajJonecir, ok , new enough12:58
BluesKajyou need netplan if you use network-manager, install netplan12:59
JonecirMy IP used to be in the form of 192.168.1.xx, and now is 192.168.0.xx. So I think this is the reason12:59
Jonecirbut I don't know how to fix it or where to look13:00
BluesKajonly if you use a static IP13:00
Jonecirmy /etc/network/interfaces is as follows:auto loiface lo inet loopbackauto eth0allow-hotplug eth0iface eth0 inet dhcp  up ip link set $IFACE up promisc on  down ip link set $IFACE down promisc off13:01
BluesKajJonecir, like I said install netplan13:01
JonecirBluesKaj: can you guide me on the netplan installation and configuration?13:02
BluesKajJonecir, open a terminal and do: sudo apt install netplan.io13:04
vasilakisfilis there a way to have fractional scaling below 100 for a screen in 20.04 ?13:04
JonecirBluesKaj: netplan installed13:06
BluesKajok, Jonecir, logout and back in13:07
JonecirBluesKaj: should I reboot or just logout and log back in?13:07
BluesKajeither one should work13:08
JonecirBluesKaj: I'm back13:16
BluesKajJonecir, ok restart network manager just to make sure,  sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service13:22
JonecirBluesKaj: done13:23
BluesKajok Jonecir any errors?13:25
JonecirBluesKaj: Yes, same problem - A network change was detected.13:27
BluesKajok, open /etc/netplan, open the yaml file and make sure renderer is NetworkManager13:30
JonecirBlueskaj: my /etc/netplan is empty!13:31
BluesKajJonecir, open nautilus or whatever file manager you use, and create this file: 01-network-manager-all.yaml, then copy paste these lines into the file https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/F78TZbctsB/13:37
JimBuntuJonecir: some quick questions simply to get more info... you changed ISPs... I presume that means you also got a new modem or such... if the modem/such came with wifi... did you configure it? Are you using wifi or wired? If wifi, are there multiple networks visible that you are configured to automatically connect to? If you DID set up the wifi on the new hardware from the ISP... did you configure it the same13:40
JimBuntuas any other wifi equipment (same SSID/pass)? Whenever you can answer these would be great, but please don't let it interrupt following guidance from BluesKaj13:40
JonecirBluesKaj: file created and copied to /etc/netplan13:42
JonecirJimBuntu: I'm used wirted connection. But yes, the modem has wifi and I can use wifi on my cell phone13:43
Jonecir*wired13:43
BluesKajJonecir, ok let's try resarting networkmanager again, sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service13:44
JonecirBluesKja: restart done!13:45
iconoclastheroany idea how to fix mediainfo: /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7: no version information available (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libp11-kit.so.0)?13:46
BluesKajnow Jonecir read what JimBuntu just posted about your ISP and router if you still have errors13:46
iconoclastherohttps://pastebin.com/CZi43ULM13:47
JonecirBluesKaj: same error. I read what JimBuntu posted. I'm using Wired Connection on my PC13:48
Sven_vBHi! when I unplug all USB mice, reboot focal, wait until xfce is ready, and then plug in a USB mouse, in xinput it shows as "[floating slave]". this is expected, my xorg.conf.d has a file with Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoEnableDevices" "no" especially for this. the intent is that a custom program must decide whether and which virtual pointer/keyboard newly attached devices shall control. however, for some reason, the new USB mouse13:49
Sven_vBcan instantly move and click the primary cursor. how can I disable that?13:49
BluesKajthis is strange...I had the same issue a while back when switched from Ifupdown back to network manager13:49
BluesKajJonecir,^13:49
JonecirBluesKaj: clicking on the Network icon it seems nothing has changed.13:50
tatertotzlol13:51
BluesKajJonecir, do you still have an /etc/network/interfaces/resolv.conf file ?13:52
BluesKajI think you mentioned it above13:53
JonecirBluesKaj: no, folder interfaces.d is empty13:55
JonecirBluesKaj: what I still have is the interfaces file which contains:  auto loiface lo inet loopbackauto eth0allow-hotplug eth0iface eth0 inet dhcp  up ip link set $IFACE up promisc on  down ip link set $IFACE down promisc off13:55

gopalkhow to change ubuntu gui from xfce to gdm14:40
leftyfbgopalk: xfce is a desktop environment, gdm is a login manager14:41
matsamangopalk: do you get the login screen, or do you go straight to the desktop?14:41
Jonecirtatertoz: yes, you may be right. It seems to be a chrome particular problem. I just browsed a few pages using Firefox, and I didn't get the error14:42
matsamangopalk: but do you get a login screen after rdp connection, or just the desktop?14:43
designbybeckoerheks doing: sudo apt autor [TAB] doesn't pull up autoremove14:43

veryloudHello! I'm facing a DNS resolution problem using OpenVPN on Ubuntu 20.04. I have two VPNs installed: One from OpenVPN Connect, one from WatchGuard, the OpenVPN Connect works perfectly, the WatchGuard VPN resolves external addresses but not internal ones, although it can reach internal IPs. The DNS server is the same as OpenVPN Connect, a Windows Server 2016 machine.15:31
Jonecirtatertoz: should I try to remove google-chrome dir again, including the one in ~/.cache?15:32
banggoodis ubuntu a good desktop os?15:32
veryloudbanggood: you're asking in #ubuntu, you're gonna get a biased answer :P15:32
veryloudI think for now, Ubuntu is seen as the gold standard for Gnome-based Linux desktops, it does everything well enough and is pretty stable.15:33
tatertotzJonecir: you can remove that dir OR log in as a new user, this new user has no chrome profile in it's home directory yet since they had never logged in and launched chrome to create it....until you log in as that new user and test chrome15:33
banggoodi'm sure #ubuntu can be objective in their reasoning15:33
tatertotzJonecir: so do either, and just confirm with me which you did, and the results when testing chrome15:35
banggoodthe main question i have with ubuntu (probably all linux distros) is why the battery is so trash compared to windows15:41
banggoodi don't get it, i thought linux was less blaoted than windows15:41
matsamanbanggood: it isn't trash, but15:41
matsamanbanggood: consider that hardware is frequently designed with specific drivers in mind only15:41
matsamanand you bought that hardware, on purpose15:42
matsamanif you want a laptop with truly great battery life, designed from the start for Linux, then get a chromebook and swap the OS (which you can do easily with many but not all)15:42
Sven_vBbanggood, you can install very lightweight versions of linux, or ones with lots of convenience features.15:43
Sven_vBbanggood, I like to install a minimal ubuntu and then add just the stuff I actually use.15:44
veryloudbanggood: look at Pop!_OS for a laptop OS with great battery life15:46
veryloudIt's Ubuntu with optimizations done by System7615:46
veryloudAd for my question, I noticed that flip-flopping the setting "Use this connection only for its resources" causes either the external DNS to resolve or the internal DNS to resolve, never both15:46
troubledwhat makes System76 so much better at ubuntu than canonical, anyways?15:46
veryloudtroubled: They make their own machines15:47
troubledah, so they are tuned well. I see15:47
=== lucas_ is now known as lucascastro
banggoodSven_vB: i'm currently using arch, but and i get awful battery life (granted my battery is like 5 years old)15:47
veryloudyeah15:47
banggoodthat's about as minimalist as you can get15:47
banggoodand i have a feeling that throwing arch on an xps 13 would get me worse battery life than windows on the same hardware15:48
veryloudbanggood: System76 does kernel optimizations15:48
veryloudThat's probably what you're not doing on Arch15:48
banggoodis it possible to do this for ubuntu?15:49
banggoode.g. if i buy an xps 13, could i get good battery life out of it with some optimizations?15:49
banggood(or is that something only OEMS can do)15:49
troubledany actual canonical admins here that deal with Landscape?15:51
veryloudbanggood: If you build your own kernel with the proper optimizations, yeah I suppose so15:51
veryloudThat's basically what they did15:51
veryloudAlong some other miscellaneous performance optimizations and support for some specific hardware15:51
banggoodveryloud: er so is it Pop_OS that is optimized for linux, or is it the hardware?15:52
banggoodisn't pop_os ubuntu based?15:52
veryloudYes15:52
veryloudIt's both15:53
veryloudThey picked their components to be 100% compatible with mainline Linux (minus NVIDIA graphics)15:53
banggoodbut the hardware would be the more important thing to optimize im guessing, otherwise other linux distros wouldn't have such atrocious battery life15:53
veryloudAnd Pop!_OS is adding performance and battery life optimizations that Canonical omitted to be more general purpose,15:54
veryloudbanggood: pick a laptop that the manufacturer has certified (or at least certified a variant of) for Linux15:54
veryloudthe new XPS laptops are certified for Linux, especially if you get the Developer edition15:54
banggoodveryloud: i was thinking the dell xps developer edition15:54

Jonecirtatertotz: Yes, I cannot believe it either! I'm reading those two pages you just sent. Will post shortly. Thanks a lot in the mean time.16:22
tatertotzJonecir: other users have had the same issue and Firefox works when chrome gives error, verifying the problem is isolated to the chrome browser itself16:26
tatertotzJonecir: one of those reports is from April 2020, so upgrading and or having the latest greatest version doesn't fix it or make immune16:30
JeroenKHola :)  I was wondering how i can minimize all windows in 20.0416:31
JeroenKgot 2 screens16:32
tatertotzJonecir: i'm almost curious what google chrome is quote unquote "detecting" as network changes and refusaling to browse16:32
Jonecirtatertotz: Yes, I just noticed that. Actually there was no solution on those two links. I have already reported this issue to Google, but they probably will not answer.16:33
tatertotzJonecir: you ever heard of "chromium"?16:34
tatertotzJonecir: now that i think about how similar chrome and chromium are...the result would probably be the same16:35
tatertotzJonecir: but never know until you try16:35
Jonecirtatertotz: I've heard about chromium today, here in this site :-)16:35
JeroenKFor very long I was still on 14.04, only recently did a fresh install for 20.04. But in 14.04 there was a button for it in the top bar, for minimize all windows at once16:36
tatertotzJonecir: almost forgot i wanted to check one more thing16:37

JeroenKsuper+D for minimize i mean16:55

freepochHello -- I'm experiencing an issue with SSH sessions dropping when connecting to a server IP address that is in a different subnet than the server's default gateway. on Ubuntu server 18.0416:59
tatertotzJonecir: set your DNS to those values instead of the current DNS values16:59
freepochSSH works fine if I connect to a server IP in the same subnet as the default gateway.16:59
tatertotzJonecir: would be interesting if it's chrome discriminating against the DNS you're using17:00
tatertotzJonecir: if they were going to do that..why allow it to work at all, and why refer to it as a "change" when in reality nothing is changing from a TCP/IP perspective17:01
Jonecirtatertotz: where and how do I change the DNS?17:01
tatertotzJonecir: i don't think you have the option of using the GUI network settings in your current state, you would have to try. if you cannot use the GUI you can try via terminal17:03
tatertotzJonecir: are you able to make entries into the GUI network settings ?17:04
tatertotzJonecir: there is a tab for DNS17:04
Jonecirtatertotz: no I cannot access via GUI. How can I send you a screenshot?17:06
tatertotzJonecir: you can use the print screen button on the keyboard to take a screen shot, then post it to https://imgur.com for sharing17:07

boxemallhi folks. i recently updated to 20.04 and ever since i can't print anymore with my hp envy 5000. i used the official HPLIP utility but somehow it doesn't work. i used to have the printer running in WIFI mode and all was well. now all i can do is print the test page which weirdly enough gets printed. any other document is either blank or weird hyroglyphics instead of letters. i'm absolutely clueless. can anyone help me? i'm17:49
boxemallon lubuntu 20.04 btw17:49
usr1987boxemall:  what you mean wifi mode?  Ad hoc, or on the wifi network?17:59
derek0883ubuntu enabled lightdm auto login, but still requires password sometime after reboot, anyone met this issue?17:59
boxemall@usr1987 the printer is seen on the network but usually you need to hook it up over usb once then the utility configures the printer so you can use it over wifi. i guess it's ad-hoc not sure18:01
pavlosderek0883: did you modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, can you pastbin the [SeatDefaults] section (about 5 lines18:02
usr1987boxemall:  so it has no screen and you use the USB to configure the ssid and pw to be on the network?18:03
derek0883@pavlos mine only two lines,  [Seat:*]18:04
derek0883autologin-user=username18:04
boxemallit has a screen but usually you use the HPLIP utility that does everyting for you. as i said with 19.04 all worked well. now all i get are test pages. libreoffice gives me blank pages or weird output18:05
boxemalli just thought i might have overlooked something18:06
lewie67[p]hey all, I can't seem to get a logon banner to display at the gui login screen...any help out there?18:12

linuxrHi, anyone else having problems with libreoffice 6.4 on ubuntu 20.04? Since upgrade to 20.04 libreoffice is so slow and unresponsive it's barely useable anymore18:14
linuxrideas, anyone?18:14
usr1987yeah... snap apps18:14
linuxris it a snap app?18:14
lewie67[p]i've created /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-login-screen that disables the user list with no problem, but my 01-banner-message file doesn't seem to have any effect18:14
usr1987i bet18:15
pavlosderek0883: maybe change the autologin-user-timeout from 0 to 118:15
usr1987linuxr go into software center and see where the install came from, deb or snap18:15
linuxrusr1987, I installed it using "apt install libreoffice"18:16
lewie67[p]i'm on 20.04 if that helps18:16
derek0883pavlos, there is no autologin-user-timeout in that file, should I add one line?18:16
usr1987@linuxr try snap list18:16
linuxrit's not in that list, usr198718:17
pavlosderek0883: sure, you could. autologin-user-timeout=118:17
usr1987@linuxr how much ram and what drive you have... its weird...18:17

linuxrany way to debug this?18:19

pavloslewie67[p]: using dconf can you look at org.gnome.login-screen ? there is a banner-enable switch and a banner-text18:52
lewie67[p]doesn't look like it. can i use the /etc/dconf/db structure anymore? or does it have to be gsettings in 20.04?18:55
lewie67[p]the dconf files were much easier to use for deployment18:55
