[00:48] or check if its running? [00:52] ComputerTech: systemctl status ssh ? [00:52] trying it [00:53] ComputerTech: You can check if sshd, the ssh daemon (as opposed to the client) is running with "systemctl status sshd". If you install the "openssh-server" package then sshd will be started automatically, and will allow ssh logins by password. It's recommended that you setup login by key or use some other methods to make things more secure if you want this ssh server to be accessible on the public [00:53] internet.

I tried `sudo do-release-upgrade` but got the error that "There is no development version of an LTS available" [03:13] iso is out, wait for the update path, a few days more [03:14] !ltsupgrade [03:14] 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 [03:14] Oh gotcha. Is there a timeline for when that will be enabled? [03:15] no exact date announced. [03:15] i would just wait === Roey is now known as Roeynicorn [03:16] Okay, is there somewhere I can check to see if it's been enabled (besides SSHing into a server and trying the upgrade)? [03:18] no, it depends on your mirror too [03:20] Ah. I'll check it again in September then. Thank you!

Any ideas? [09:28] neure, only suggestion I can give is ensure you have correct resolution & colors (i'm no expert, but that's all I've discovered) [09:28] do you know what the entry line should look like in /etc/default/grub? [09:28] sometimes I see GRUB_MENU_PICTURE, sometimes GRUB_BACKGROUND, sometimes there is export in front, sometimes not.. [09:29] also GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="yellow/black" does not seem to have any effect :/ [09:29] sorry, I've not bothered changing those details in 4-5 years... that's the item that I found most difficult (I kept trying to use too-high res & too-many-colors) [09:29] is it okay to use resolution of the screen? [09:29] or could that be too high res? [09:30] grub is more like 800x600 but I forget (it's got to be the resolution of the grub mode used) [09:31] I managed to put it to native resolution finally yesterday, had to turn off CSM in UEFI bios.. [09:31] 2560x1440.. [09:57] I even tried 640x480 resolution for grub and picture, still no background picture [11:09] whats nodejs irc ?

For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide [16:48] Well I think that you are wrong to do that because mark shuttleworth made a big statement two years ago about enforcing the ubuntu trademark only for companies which are compliant with canonicals standards for code, and I think microsoft Corporation (tm) is probably compatible.

[18:38] Can I install ubuntu desktop and encrypt the hard drive? I was installing ubuntu 20 in a laptop and did not see the optiont o encrypt. Did I miss a step? [18:39] raub: if you're referrng to Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 LTS, then it looks like you missed the option, yes. it's been moved to an advanced menu, i think. [18:39] reinstall, choose LVM .. [18:39] more precisely, what you'd encrypt would be partitions, not the full disk, though [18:40] tomreyn: by that you mean: select OS partition, encrypt partition, then lvm it [18:41] As opposite to encrypt the separate OS partitions (/home, /usr, etc) [18:42] raub: you'd only go that route if you mean to do partition manually. for the general option to delete everything on the disk and to install ubuntu, with encryption, you don't need to go into those details. [18:43] also, on a default desktop installation, you'll not have separate /home and /usr [18:43] tomreyn: dual boot laptop is the goal. In ubuntu server I would encrypt the partition I want to LVM later, then LVM it [18:44] tomreyn: I was using that to differentiate disk partition vs OS one [18:44] what the default option does is to create a partition and file system for /boot, no encryption there, optionally another partition for /boot/efi (the uefi system partition) if you'Re UEFI booting, and everything else goes onto another partition, which is encryption, with lvm on top, and then the root ("/") file system on top [18:45] ok, dual boot off the same disk is different. [18:46] i don't think there is an option for automated installation with encryption next to an existing windows installation on the same disk. [18:46] and i'm unsure whether the manual desktop partitioner provides encryption + lvm support [18:48] the server installer should support this scenario, i think. [18:48] i'm not sure how well it is in dealing with existing on diskl structures by now, though, haven't tried. [18:49] tomreyn: I am considering doing the server installed because of that. And then adding the desktop stuff. Disk is already partitioned win10/ubuntu because I installed ubuntu desktop but do want to encrypt [18:51] since i'm not certain that the server installer can deal with existing on disk structures (partitions, those of widows), and am also not certain that the desktop installaers' manual partitioner can deal with disk encryption and LVM, unless someone else knows for sure here, i guess your chances are 50:50 [18:52] i'd remove the ubuntu partitions and file systems on them to make it easier for the installer. [19:27] is there an option to autostart a vpn profile on boot on desktop?
