[00:01] ComputerTech: maybe re-run it with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 virtualbox and then you might be better able to navigate the thing to find its own language control tools? [00:03] hmm i am not sure [00:03] using teamviewer to access it [00:03] it's not mine [00:04] it's my friends [00:04] i updated my apache and this is the error i get while updating. https://pastebin.com/TiRRNfUJ [00:04] I used sudo apt upgrade [00:06] Biessie: apt-file search /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.3.so doesn't return any packages on my focal system; is that path correct? [00:07] locate doesnt see it [00:07] let me updatedb real quick [00:08] yea that file doesnt exists apparantly [00:09] well, the nice thing about apt-file is that it searches packages that you *could* install :) [00:09] oh! https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.3 [00:09] 7.3 was packaged for eoan [00:10] focal has 7.4 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.4 [00:10] i do have 7.4.so [00:10] in that folder it's looking for 7.3 [00:12] Biessie: so take a look at your /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.3.load file and if it's got local changes, save them aside, or not, as necessary, and try a2disable php7.3 and then a2enable php7.4 and re-do any local configuration changes that might be necessary [00:14] https://pasteboard.co/Jmfr0wC.png [00:14] thats a screenshot of what i see [00:14] anyone know what to click? [00:17] how would i copy a file to pastebin in the CLI [00:17] ComputerTech: try 'prise en charge des langues' [00:18] trying it...

It also made the initial setup to pop up after restart. I can login with my user by typing in the user manually [00:42] I'm not sure if gnome doesn't have permissions to see the account, but the home directory has the same permissions of the user I setup during the initial setup [00:42] well, mode. permissions user:group is set to the username [01:02] Anyone have any info on pairing a bluetooth headset via HFP/HSP as well as a LE mouse? [01:04] Sorry I think I meant high quality a2dp profile + an LE mouse [01:17] biggtimber: screen shot? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly === feodoran_ is now known as feodoran [03:06] hey guys/gals, i'm trying to setup a jailed user and i'm getting "pledge: network, broken pipe" -- what am I missing? I've setup the user's base directoy as owned by root, setup the forcecommand for internal-sftp, configured the group.. a bit stuck. [03:09] zechariah: pledge() is an openbsd interface; are you sure what you're doing is supported on linux? [03:11] I've never specifically had an ssh client return a pledge failure in verbose output, but as far as jailed user on sshd_config, sure, I definitively know that is supported and have set it up a few times in the past. [03:11] the pledge error is from ssh client, while trying to connect to the jailed ssh server, if that helps. [03:12] here is the last couple of lines of the failed ssh connection: debug1: Entering interactive session. > debug1: pledge: network packet_write_wait: Connection to ** port 22: Broken pipe > Connection closed [03:12] utilizing sftp command* [03:12] (pardon, I said ssh, but I suppose sftp !== ssh..) [03:13] on that note though, ssh is returning the same error.. [03:15] zechariah: aha! how about the server logs? [03:15] initially when my auth was failing, i had some logs in auth.log or syslog, can't recall; but now that my auth is passing, nothing is being recorded;/ [03:16] (i didn't have my folder permissions properly setup on the user's home directory, so it was complaining to me and not authenticating) -- but since than, no logs.. Just that output immediately following "authentication succeeded (pubkey)" [03:21] as far as config; I have: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server (also tried internal-sftp...), and than: "Match Group jailedUserGroup", "ChrootDirectory %h, ForceCommand internal-sftp, AllowTcpForwarding no, X11Forwarding no". I've tried with UsePam no/yes, AllowGroups jailedUserGroup, and a few other configurations but they all give me the [03:21] same thing. Just for clarity sake, I did restart sshd after each config change before attempting. [03:22] If it would be helpful, I can paste this somewhere to be a bit more readable with proper formatting [03:25] hmmm that %h reminds me of something [03:25] I wonder what [03:25] I believe it represents the user's home directory [03:25] So when used in conjunction with ChrootDirectory, it should reference the users home directory, which is suppose to be owned by root (for jail to properly work) [03:26] hmm maybe I'm remembering something in a systemd unit file, I think %h was removed from some directives in one of those... [03:26] and than you make another folder, which is owned by the user, in that user's "home directory" which is.. owned by root. Seems a bit contrived, but that's the setup, as I understand it (and I've set it up before.. I bet I'm missing something obvious..) [03:27] hurm. I could be off base for sure as well, worth noting, but from a bit of digging I did on the ol goog, it does seem to be the way to specify the jailed users home directory. (unless i'm greatly confused, which is definitely possible!!) [03:27] well, i'm obviously confused, as i'm asking for help, but yeah heh [03:28] at any rate, i definitely don't wanna pester ya if you're not sure. I appreciate the feedback either way ^_^ [03:33] Someone suggested perhaps trying to use a folder that isn't the jailed user's home directory. Let me give that a go, will report back either way <3 [03:35] zechariah: sorry, it's just the usual trying to do too many things at once [03:36] Oh no worries at all, I appreciate your time. [03:36] zechariah: so, my next guess -- when you set up a chroot, probably openssh is going to execute the sftp program *after* doing the chroot [03:37] zechariah: .. at least I'm 60% sure I'd read that once [03:38] Is OBS studio enough to record an echoless sound and highest quality video? Can echo be completely eliminated by software instead of forms/hardware on walls? [03:43] Intelo: I have to wonder, if you'd started trying things out when you first asked, if you would have found the answer by now :) [03:46] zechariah: sorry, it's time for me to head out :( good luck, and I'd be curious to hear the resolution once you get it :) thanks [03:47] sarnold: I didn't found; so kept asking [03:48] Intelo: ah, okay [04:10] Hrm, so trying a jailed directory that *isn't* the users home directory didn't net any improvement. === chessking_ is now known as chessking [04:11] As soon as I implement the ChrootDirectory %s it stops working with that broken pipe. If I comment *just* that line out it works. What in the heck ... hurm [04:13] zechariah: Are you remembering that your paths are relative to the chroot you set? [04:13] So, if your home directory is /foo/bar, /my/chroot/foo/bar must exist? [04:17] so i'm using %h, which should be the user's home directory, or so I thought.. [04:17] but when I tried to explicitly define another directory, I just defined the path as /some/path/here -- perhaps that was a problem? [04:19] On that note, I did just manage to get it working. I'm not sure exactly what I did differently this time, but I had to be looking something obvious over previously, as my config is essentially the same (I'm just using the user's home directory, which this time is in /home/user, versus /var/www/project/userhome [04:20] So I really appreciate y'alls time and feedback, even if I'm not sure why in the heck it's working now ^_^ [04:20] to hell with changing it though, i'm just going to symlink it and move on lol === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 === JakeSays_ is now known as JakeSays === StathisA- is now known as StathisA === edk_ is now known as e [07:02] hello, I'm connecting to a 9p files system and I have really slow reads. how can I tell if this is a ubuntu specific bug or other?

Which package does provide it? [09:18] Hey! I've an input file which looks like this: https://dpaste.com/3X2RLNCR9 Basically I want to eliminate duplicates (where file hashes are same) and print the new set of results. Any pointers on how I can accomplish this? [09:19] Whoopie, going to comment there since you left the other channel, but GNOME settings don't have wireguard integration atm [09:20] I found (and packaged) network-manager-wireguard, but it isn't aware of the support for WG in NetworkManager, so while it works it's not the best. [09:20] seb128: ok, thanks for the info. [09:20] just found this bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/network-manager-applet/-/issues/77 [09:21] it's partially in nm-connection-editor since 1.18.0, but the applet part is still missing to be able to enable/disable the wg connection. [09:21] Has 20.04 LTS yet had any livepatch-qualifying kernel patches? Haven't observed any getting applied. [09:22] Whoopie, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/982 is the request on the GNOME tracker [09:22] but no sign of activity there yet [09:26] seb128: thanks [09:27] seb128: do you know if someone is working on it? [09:27] I don't know [09:39] can anybody recommend a program to convert csv to vcf? [09:44] Whoopie: If you want something that kind of works, like I said https://github.com/max-moser/network-manager-wireguard/ [09:47] WrathOfAchilles: ture [09:47] true [09:48] It's also in my PPA (as I also packaged it ;-)) [09:48] but I was wondering if native support is already there as I couldn't find it. === rubdos_ is now known as rubdos [10:21] Umm, does even whoopsie depend on the delusions of NetworkManager regarding network connectivity these days? (networkctl state of "routable" not being enough for being "online" for bunch of GUI tools). As in does a ".upload" in /var/crash (instead of ".uploaded") indicate it hasn't even tried the actual upload? [10:33] i switched my distro to Ubuntu 20.04.1 from other distribution, and now i can't see some special characters like a with tilde correctly in irssi/gnome-terminal [10:33] the terminal is utf-8 and the server also, and irssi [10:34] on the server side nothing changed, i could also see arabic correctly before (RTL), but only ascii can be seen correctly now [10:47] Hey everyone! I installed Ubuntu focal on my ideapad flex 5. I had a minor amd drivers issue which I fixed by installing amdgpu-pro drivers from AMD's site. The only problem I have now is that the screen does not autorotate when in tablet mode. How can I enable it? Ideally I should have seen the option in the top right menu but I don't. Any help would be much appreciated. [10:48] Also, the fingerprint reader is not working. But thats because its a goodix sensor and drivers aren't available yet.

[13:25] I'm troubleshooting a bug for another package, and they think the issue might be that it's not working in Ruby 2.7, and they want me to try 2.7 instead of fixing the issue. I assume they're understaffed. How do I specifically install ruby 2.6? [13:30] @ezio: this should be what you need....https://launchpad.net/~brightbox/+archive/ubuntu/ruby-ng [13:33] The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/brightbox/ruby-ng/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.

I can't wait 5 hours each time I need to destroy and rebuild my VM. [13:56] Hi guys is there a way for me to see when my Ubuntu membership expires, please? [14:04] how do I check if a package is a requirement for something I have, or if it's fine to remove [14:06] never mind, found the answer (sudo apt rdepends --installed ) [14:09] Baikobur: deborphan can do that too [14:10] IS there any easy way to set up networking between two ubuntu laptops ? [14:13] Pitiye: yes... DHCP will do it for you assuming they are on the same subnet [14:13] Pitiye: the networking is then in place [14:14] @ActionParsnip they are connected through ADSL network router [14:14] wirelessly [14:14] so same subnet [14:14] same DHCP i guess [14:16] Pitiye: the physical media is irrelevant. If you are connected to the same router (I'm guessing home networking) then it's all set up for you [14:17] Pitiye: what do you mean by "set up networking"? [14:18] pitiye: if you want to transfer files between the two...you should say that "verbatim" [14:20] pitiye: expressing what your goals are "verbatim" can reduce the amount of potential conjecture and hearsay [14:22] pitiye: you could use remote copy, rcp user@laptop1:file user@laptop2 [14:23] Pitiye: what are you wanting to achieve here? [14:23] share files between two laptops [14:23] another third one is about to join the party [14:23] :D [14:23] so will Verbetim work on all 3 laptops ? [14:23] Pitiye: then say that [14:24] Pitiye: are all three systems Ubuntu? [14:24] yes lubuntu 19.10 [14:25] Pitiye: if you install openssh-server on all 3 then you can access each system using SFTP. [14:25] what is the easiest way like in windows ? [14:25] 19.10? isn't this where somebody is supposed to say "use 20.04"? [14:26] or is 19.10 still supported?

[14:32] Pitiye: the openssh-server package. There are none for Eoan [14:32] that is not an easy thing to configure [14:33] i am looking for a windows like way of enabling networking [14:33] Pitiye: to be honest with 3 Ubuntu systems I'd have SSH enabled on them all to run updates and centrally manage them all [14:33] i see [14:33] pitiye: enabling "file sharing" [14:33] how [14:33] Pitiye: it's not "networking". It's file sharing. Please use the correct terminology [14:33] pitiye: say "file sharing" instead of "networking" [14:33] ah okay === raf_ is now known as rafael [14:34] i want file sharing [14:34] Pitiye: file sharing in Nautilus uses Samba.

[15:16] Abhi1802, which step are you stuck on and why? [15:19] Sven_vB, i think i had did everything said and yet arhivebox said "command not found" [15:20] Ubuntu 18, copied 150GB off usb in ~30min, come back do the same exact thing, randomly hangs 50g, 90G etc into it and start pushing like 1KB/s, process cant be stopped with ctrl-c, root kill -9 causes a D proc. Anyone know WTF is wrong? [15:21] Abhi1802, did the install program say it succeeded? [15:21] Sven_vB, idk if it does install anything it do said all done success [15:24] Abhi1802, that's good. does it say anything else in the "command not found" message? [15:24] Abhi1802, usually there should be a path in front [15:27] termbin.com/8myw [15:27] Sven_vB, anything i can open it with so it becomes a txt file? [15:28] coconut, you can manually export it as HTML from within the "Library" (Firefox bookmark editor) [15:28] great, thank you [15:29] Abhi1802, that's only the welcome screen, nothing is installed at that point yet.

[15:39] termbin.com/b24d [15:39] Sven_vB, okay i will file a feature request [15:44] Sven_vB, it does not seem to recognize my "mobile" bookmarks folder for exporting, instead it exports the other three folders above only. [15:45] coconut, might that folder be one of dynamic bookmarks? [15:45] coconut, maybe you can copy the bookmarks from that folder into a regular folder [15:46] Sven_vB, all i know is that it comes from my sync account from my iphone/firefox [15:46] yeah i might try that :) [15:48] Sven_vB, you seen the error [15:49] Abhi1802, yes, and I don't have any idea left except waiting for the installer to be fixed. [15:49] Sven_vB, https://pypi.org/project/archivebox/ [15:50] i think i can install it using pip install archivebox if i specify the version [15:50] Abhi1802, well then, go ahead and try. :) [15:50] tried another error [15:51] wtf -_- the application could not be installed and he is promising a lot of feature into it [15:51] is there a proper documentated way to run a root scripts at boot?

[16:54] they gave us a router that sends out two wi-fi networks, one "2.4G" (I assume Ghz) and one "5G". [16:55] elias_a Another way is to just run Libre Writer and look through. ;] [16:55] so on my old window computer the 5GHz wi-fi network is fine. on Ubuntu too. [16:56] on Ubuntu with the default GUI. I switch to spectrwm and it doesn't work. [16:56] wtf... [16:56] I can confirm with iwconfig that it's connected to the 5ghz network. But it doesn't work. [16:56] xheimlich: do you have a ethernet cable to use when using "spectrwm"? [16:57] wifi. [16:57] ahh. I understand. [16:57] xheimlich: if you cannot hardwire to connect when using "spectwm" to aid you in troubleshooting in realtime, you'll have to just go over there and see what you can do [16:58] I basically came to get out of my chest that this is even happening. Maybe rubber duck it. I understand there's a hundred specific things you cant possibly debug over IRC. [17:00] rubber duck = rubber duck debug. Happens to me a lot. [17:03] good luck [17:05] what's a good terminal emulator that can run on Ubuntu focal, can run terminal windows as their own process (so I can use their process IDs), and has command line options to control: window posititon, window size (pixels or rows/colums), window title, icon (same for window and taskbar), window name or class (ideally both), and command line to execute inside? [17:10] prominentpotato: Thanks but the takes ages. :) [17:14] Sven_vB, pretty sure good old xterm can do all that [17:17] rfm, how can I make it load the window icon from an image file? [17:23] or is there a way to replace the window icon later by window id and/or process id? (assuming xterm at least won't "defend" itself against that) [17:27] xterm -n iconname [17:28] change later with wmctrl -I iconname [17:30] seems to not work with SVG, I'll try a PNG. [17:31] I have a keyboard shortcut set to xterm -fa 'Ubuntu Mono' -fs 14 -geometry 105x24+960+24 -e /usr/bin/ncmpcpp [17:31] what I tried but got the default xterm icon: xterm -n /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/48x48/categories/applications-science.png -e sleep 4h [17:32] same with just xterm -n applications-science -e sleep 4h [17:33] Sven_vB I believe most modern window managers don't honor the old X icon property, assigning the icon from the .desktop file or something [17:33] rfm, creating a temporary .desktop file would be an option. I'll try that. [17:35] default icon even with that approach. (in xfce 4) [17:36] maybe it just needs another graphics format, neither SVG nor PNG. [17:38] albeit it would sure be nice to have a terminal emulator that can do the above things *and* load PNG icons. [17:41] its own packaged icons seem to be in xpm, but even that doesn't work. (converted with ImageMagick's "convert", then xterm -n /home/sven/science.xpm -e sleep 3h) [17:44] I do have 2x 4K displays at work (I would prefer 1440p, maybe I find someone to switch in the future). The company I work for does buy a new lenovo laptop and dokin for me. I'm the only guy using linux is the company. I would love having a 2.5" SATA slot and 1 nvme (for OS and programms). It should work well with linux and just do it's job. Some programming, browsers, communication slack teams zoom, and some VMs with virtualbox. What do you use or what [17:44] would you buy? [17:44] (hi first of all, sorry) [17:45] Tuor, you mean what notebook to buy? [17:45] Tuor, we don't do recommendations for hardware buying. just technical ubuntu support. [17:45] oerheks: sad. :( [17:46] try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware? [17:47] christophergray, wmctrl -I succeeds (exit status 0) but I cannot find any visible effect. [17:50] Sven_vB: docs say to use -I with -r but even that doesn't work here also in xubuntu [17:51] christophergray, yes I used wmctrl -xir 0x0e600034 -I ??? [17:57] trying to remove package emacs26 from kellyk repo, this is the error im getting http://frezr.com/paste/emacs.html [17:57] keep trying to remove the dependencies but it gets larger and larger the more I add... [18:00] gargantua, did you mean remove the packages that depend upon emacs26? [18:00] gargantua, you could try apt instead of apt-get, I think that should suggest some solutions. [18:01] think I got it [18:02] Sven_vB: It seems than it is not the name of the icon, but the name FOR the icon [18:03] twm had big icons with labels [18:06] you could iconify a window and it would appear on the desktop with a label, and xterm can changes its own label with -n [18:06] christophergray, yes I think a long time ago I had used that in a session with no window manager to set the label [18:08] christophergray, from another project I also investigated modifying the icon with xset, but I was only able to access a legacy fallback 1-bit black/white icon that way. [18:09] looks like finding an easy-to-customize terminal emulator is a hard problem after all. [18:11] back then I also researched ways to swap icons for any window, under the impression that it should be an easy feature of any "full" window manager, but at least in xfce it seemed it's not. [18:12] maybe it's time I investigate that LD_PRELOAD approach more. [18:25] so I came in earlier claiming that my new 5Ghz wi-fi network functioned on the default ubuntu gui but not in spectrwm for whatever inscrutable reason [18:25] but then I switched back and it does work. [18:26] but I have a script that pings google every five seconds to update my menu bar thing gizmo. and that was reading 100% packet loss. [18:26] for whatever inscrutable reason "ping google.com" fails. [18:26] but something like speedtest.net goes vroom vroom [18:26] xheimlich, usually ping should print an error message when it fails. [18:27] (on a browser. ping speedtest.net also fails.) [18:27] xheimlich, maybe the browsers uses a proxy? [18:27] or the remote site just doesn't offer ping replies [18:27] Sven_vB: yeah. it was a simple script with tail and awk. [18:27] or you might have a firewall issue. [18:28] Sven_vB: I don't think it's a browser proxy because I'm on irssi here. [18:28] if there's something strange on your network, usually wireshark can identify it. [18:29] ok. ping is using ipv6 addresses. I've never seen this. [18:34] xheimlich, maybe you hadn't had IPv6 connectivity earlier? [18:39] Folks, how to configure autologin into tty1 on Ubuntu 18.04? I tried the guide from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/401759/automatically-login-on-debian-9-2-1-command-line but it doesn't really work as expected: I don't get into terminal [18:39] I just see a black script with blinking cursor on tty1 [18:39] screen* [18:41] Sven_vB: possibly. I upgraded my cable internet plan and they supplied one of those combined cable modem + wifi router things. but the wifi router now produces two wifi networks, one at 2.4ghz and one at 5ghz. [18:41] maybe the combo router does something weird. [18:43] prevents me from tracerouting? [18:46] xheimlich: so internet is working after all...good === jamezz is now known as Jamezz [19:16] I need to extract something from a deb.sh file but when I try to `ar` it, it tells me "File format not recognized". Why is this happening? [19:17] what does 'file deb.sh' gives? [19:17] oerheks: POSIX shell script executable (binary data) [19:18] then no, it is a binairy, run " ./deb.sh" [19:18] or sh deb.sh [19:19] make sure it is executable, chmod +x deb.sh [19:19] That's the problem. There's an error in execution so I need to modify one of the underlying files to make it work [19:19] I probably untarred it wrong [19:20] I'll keep trying. Thanks. [19:20] it is not an archive, it is a binairy code [19:22] https://wiki.debian.org/Makeself [19:23] oerheks: I got the file out of a tar.gz file. Maybe there's a way I can extract it without turning it into a binary [19:26] try running it with --info [19:41] Hi. Do bluetooth headphones have a bad history with Ubuntu, or is it just me? [19:41] Especially the microphone part. [19:43] Audio is really bad if it's in the A2DP mode. Microphone doesn't work in that mode, so I switch to HFP/HSP mode - then audio becomes worse, and the mic voice on the other end is also equally bad (to the point that the other person can't even recognize the person). [19:43] not generally. [19:43] make sure you have the highest BT dongle/chipset.. [19:44] oerheks: how do I confirm that? [19:46] lspci, or lsusb will show details, and 8 digit hex number [19:46] that number should give some info about the vendor and such [19:58] oerheks: "048d:8297" - does it look like this? [19:59]
