robertparkerxI read that is how I can solve my vsftp issue with it not showing utf801:45
oerheksrobertparkerx, there is no need to do something special in fstab, make sure your locales is set right? https://askubuntu.com/questions/28635/how-to-add-utf-8-support-to-my-hard-disk-in-fstab01:58

oceanus_ursusHaving a weird problem trying to switch to administrative mode in the users panel.  Anyone have a minute?02:53
oerheksoceanus_ursus, just ask, wait and see02:55
oceanus_ursusFair enough.  I installed 20.04 on a brand new machine and have had all kinds of strange problems.  Right now, trying to troubleshoot audio. In the process, I tried to access administrator settings in the Users panel but the Unlock button is greyed out, but the default Ubuntu desktop doesn't give me any reason why.02:57
oceanus_ursusSo, I switched to xfce desktop02:57
oceanus_ursusand when I use the user settings there and click Advanced Settings02:57
oceanus_ursusI get "An error occurred while checking for authorizations: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying. You may report this as a bug"02:58
oceanus_ursusI'm accessing xfce via Xrdp because HDMI out to my TV isn't working02:58
oceanus_ursusso I'm not a console user, if that has any bearing on the issue02:58
oceanus_ursusI also see some errors in the lightdm output from systemctl02:59
oceanus_ursusthat it is trying to load some pam_kwallet, etc. libraries02:59

oceanus_ursusI think the update notifier is dying too.  I keep getting a "System program problem detected".  It's like nothing knows I have sudo access, even though I do03:02

oerheksoceanus_ursus, one thing that prevents your action, is a dirty filesystem, is it mounted RO?03:10
oceanus_ursusGood question03:10
oerheks'mount' will tell03:10
blahboybazi think I know what went wrong - my bad03:12
oceanus_ursusoerheks  I think it is okay:  /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)03:12
blahboybazoceanus_ursus:   :)03:12
oceanus_ursusand I can create files in my home directory03:12
oceanus_ursusIt's a default install, so it's basically /boot and / as the only partitions03:13
oceanus_ursus mount | grep /dev/sda/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)03:15
oceanus_ursusLooks like some of my problem was polkit not allowing changes remotely.  Had to add a policy file to /etc/polkit-l/localauthority/50-local.d  to allow people in the sudo group do anything.03:45

dev4449the whole system freezes, alt + ctrl + 1..9 , alt + ctrl + del nothing works13:15

AtlenohenHi13:18
Atlenohenwhere is sudo bash history ?13:18
dev4449Do previous lts versions have the same kernel that the current lts has ?13:19
Atlenohenthat's why half the stuff is missing in user histors13:19
giacomo18.04 had 4.1513:20
giacomo20.04 has like 5.3 or something13:20
giacomo5.413:20
dev4449They don't get backported?13:20
giacomobackport what?13:21
dev4449If that's so, assuming my problem is in the kernel, installing 18.04 will solve the problem.13:22
giacomoyou could install 18.04 then grab a newer kernel from the upstream if you wanted to test it13:22
giacomoi grabbed 5.8.1 for my current 20.04 install13:23
dev4449giacomo: you're right, I thought newer kernels are backported to older ubuntu lts versions(that are still being supported).13:23
giacomoah13:23
giacomoidk if lts implies you keep whatever kernel the release ships with13:24
dev4449giacomo: doesn't using the upstream kernel make new bugs in the system?13:24
giacomosure can13:24
dev4449giacomo: so it wouldn't end up in a stable system, I guess?13:24
dev4449I'd better migrate back to 18.0413:25
dev4449Based on my search results my problem probably lies in the kernel.13:25
giacomoyeah, and if your system freezes after boot, there's probably no way to fix it13:26
giacomoseems like 18.04 is a good call13:26

jellyAtlenohen, better practice is not to mix user and root histories; that way you'll also avoid possible file ownership/permission issues.  If you have multiple admins, each might set their own to eg. HISTFILE=/home/jelly/.rhistory or wherever14:07

sparrsudo -u someuser timeout 5 sudo -l # this command produces no output, never finishes, can't be ctrl+C'd. What's up with that?15:16
sparr`sudo -u someuser timeout 5 ls` works, and `sudo -u someuser sudo -l` works, so it doesn't seem to be any single piece, but instead an emergent property of it all together15:17
pavlossparr: if you move -l a bit to the left, sudo -u username -l timeout 5 sudo, it will output /usr/bin/timeout 5 sudo which means timeout will exec that command (sudo) for 5 seconds15:42
c0rridorHey all. Anyone do music recording on Ubuntu here?16:08
c0rridorI am looking for a hardware interface and not sure what is compatible.16:08
roryhi c0rridor - There is actually a version of Ubuntu specifically for multimedia content creation called Ubuntu Studio - There is apparently #ubuntustudio IRC channel on this network. I'm not sure how active it is, but try asking there too.16:20
c0rridorThanks rory!16:49

g3poandlslI have successfully set up LUKS boot-time unlocking with TPM2 following this guide: https://run.tournament.org.il/ubuntu-18-04-and-tpm2-encrypted-system-disk/.  My question is what would prevent a person with physical access to the system from obtaining the LUKS unlock key by dumping it from the TPM?17:40
oerheksg3poandlsl, if you implemented it securely, no one could dump those keys.17:41
oerheksbut interesting, tmp2 is a dragon .. i'll take a read17:42
Sven_vBg3poandlsl, the purpose of security chips is to limit key extraction to people with veeeery expensive equipment, and making the process cumbersome and fragile even with such exceptional equipment.17:43
oerheks"remove the root.key file from your system, to prevent easy access to the decryption key."17:43
Sven_vBg3poandlsl, essentially, it raises the cost of physical attacks against the chip so high it's way cheaper to hire some crooks to deport someone who knows the secret. ;)17:43
frostschutzg3poandlsl, not a good guide17:43
g3poandlslfrostschutz, I agree.17:44
g3poandlslso the purpose of this is to allow automatic unlocking of laptops with FDE. Suppose a user's laptop is stolen. What would be the best way to secure the LUKS key in the TPM so that the thief is not able to obtain the key?17:47
g3poandlslI've thought about locking down the BIOS/UEFI to only allow booting from the internal NVMe to prevent booting from a Live USB, but popping out the CMOS battery defeats that rather quickly17:48
Sven_vBg3poandlsl, is the laptop booted while being stolen?17:49
oerheksg3poandlsl, but resetting bios = losing the key, right?17:49
g3poandlslSven_vB, it's only a hypothetical example17:49
frostschutzg3poandlsl, have you tried it? if you can actually read the tpm key, then it's naturally useless. it shouldn't work.17:49
Sven_vBg3poandlsl, is the theoretical laptop theoretically booted while being stolen?17:50
Sven_vBg3poandlsl, I'm hinting towards cold boot attacks for recovering keys from RAM. :)17:50
g3poandlslfrostschutz, haven't actually tried. I'm assuming the TPM chip holds the encryption key(s) independently from the BIOS'17:51
mimi89999Hello. I reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1891815. It seems that it went through triage because some tags were added, but it wasn't assigned to anybody. Why?17:51
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1891815 in gdm3 (Ubuntu) "Multi-seat stopped working in Ubuntu 20.04" [Undecided,Fix committed]17:51
frostschutzg3poandlsl, make sure you have a backup passphrase in case the tpm key is lost17:51
Sven_vBalso there are some sorts of hardware bus (was it firewire?) that allow RAM dumping by default.17:51
Sven_vBmimi89999, probably noone has volonteered yet.17:52
g3poandlslSven_vB, I'm aware, and that's a scenario we aren't overly worried abourt17:52
mimi89999But it's quite a serious issue for an LTS release.17:52
oerheksupgrade path is not released yet.17:54
mimi89999BTW, Focal has gnome-shell 3.36, but GDM3 3.34. Are you asking for incompatibility issues?17:55
Sven_vBmimi89999, unfortunately, the free version sometimes hasn't enough developer power for all problems. in Xenial, there were screen projection bugs that caused the human-visible part of my mouse cursor to be displayed 512px left of where the software-relevant mouse cursor was, i.e. where it would actually click. afaik it was never fixed.17:56
mimi89999Ouch17:57
Sven_vBthe good thing about free software is, you can always hire someone other than the vendor, to provide what the vendor can't. :)17:58
mimi89999Best would be to hire the vendor.18:02
mimi89999The fix is upstream in 3.36. Somebody only needs to backport it and make a package.18:02
Sven_vByeah in this case probably Canonical would be the best place to fix it.18:03
Sven_vBif it's already upstream, it should be easy to upgrade it yourself, or cheap to have it upgraded.18:04
mimi899993.36 is packaged in Debian testing18:05
Hejkkiwhy a basic thing like UTF-8 isn't working in Ubuntu 20.04.1 without lots of work, like right after installation?18:32

davido_How would I go about debugging why it is that I can set my Bluetooth headphones as the output device, but that audio is still going to the analog output instead.19:38
davido_In other words, in the Gnome settings I can set the output to Bose QC35 bluetooth headphones. Nevertheless, the audio continues coming to the analog speakers plugged in.19:42

rr123my gnome-shell restarts itself about twice a day(20.04), which I did not see on 18.0420:00
sarnoldrr123: a common source of reliability problems is gnome extensions, if you hace any, try turning them all off, see if it's better, and then enable them one at a time over a few weeks20:05

jiggawattzof course20:28
leftyfbshibboleth: as will 20.0420:28

shibbolethcould it be the naming convention?20:28
shibbolethleftyfb, iirc fossa will be supported for ten years20:28
leftyfbshibboleth: 18.04 and 20.04 are both LTS releases with the same LTS support cycle20:29

auto_a quick google came up with some other tools but seemed to be for previous versions of ubuntu21:10
TJ-semitones: Do the /boot/initrd-$VERSION files exist for those /boot/vmlinuz-$VERSION files? if not update-grub will not add them21:10
oerheksnot sure about seperate backgrounds..21:11
auto_oerheks it worked fine for spanning a 7680x2160 image, thanks again21:18
oerhekshave fun!21:18
Jordan_Usemitones: Is it possible that your mistake with 40_custom lead to a grub.cfg with syntax errors? If so, grub-mkconfig/update-grub would have exited with an error. When grub-mkconfig detects a syntax error in the generated grub.cfg, it assumes that it's wrong and doesn't replace the old grub.cfg. That would mean that your grub.cfg would not have changed, and will be the last grub.cfg you generated that21:30
Jordan_Udoesn't have a syntax error.21:30

fcastilloHi everyone, does anybody know of a good reliable way to enable scroll lock on Focal? The majority of the results i'm seeing are for older versions, and many don't work, or make my computer slow21:58
fcastilloExtra points question, why would Gnome (or Ubuntu) disable scroll locks by default?21:59
sarnoldfcastillo: once upon a time I saw gui programs that had half their keyboard shotcuts stop working when numlock or scrolllock were enabled22:00
sarnoldfcastillo: probably someone at gnome figured they'd solve the problem for everybody22:00
semitonessorry y'all, I had to help someone offline. One sec while I gather stuff22:02
fcastilloweird, wouldn't it make more sense to fix the the programs rather than remove a whole key. I know not a lot of people use it, but I deal with spreadsheets constantly, and I really need the key22:02
sarnoldfcastillo: what does it do?22:03
semitonesTJ-: I didn't delete the tail line: that output was pasted from grub.cfg which I was looking at22:03
semitonesJordan_U, gathering output22:03
fcastillosarnold: it makes the arrow keys works as scrolling, so it wouldn't change the active cell, it just scrolls the screen22:04
semitonesJordan_U, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sRhSH8trFk/22:07
semitonesthat is update grub, 40_custom, and ls /boot22:07
sarnoldfcastillo: oh! that sounds handy22:07
semitonesI noticed in the dkpg -list, the surface ones were not signed, but the ubuntu ones are. Does that matter?22:08
fcastillosarnold: it's very handy! But enabling seems to be really hard22:09
sarnoldfcastillo: does gnome actively turn it back off again?22:09
sarnoldfcastillo: or, rather, does *something* keep turning it off?22:09
fcastillousing xmodmap works, but after a restart/logout it's gone, and it cause gnome to become super slow22:09
sarnoldhmm, xmodmap did that? o_O22:10
semitonesJordan_U, another weird thing about update-grub is it doesn't respect my timeout:hidden setting. I'll paste you grub.cfg as well to see what I mean. (after 30_os_prober it re-adds timeout:menu)22:10
fcastillothe majority of the support out there says to use xmodmap, but more recent post mention that this is not the best way anymore, and it doesn't persist reboots22:10
semitonesJordan_U, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GkQGwBQ6gF/22:11
sarnoldfcastillo: that part is usually easy enough to fix, there's usually a file like ~/.xsession or similar that is executed at login, that would do the trick22:11
fcastillosarnold: I'm ready about ~/.xsession, it seems it will do the same as ~/.Xmodmap, but probably work, since xmodmap wasn't working22:15
fcastillothe only problem left is when enabling scroll lock, gnome because sluggish. I wish there was a way to enable the key without using xmodmap22:16
_Sym_fcastillo, what about xbindkeys22:18
fcastillo_Sym_: I'll take a look at that, thanks!22:19
sarnoldfcastillo: ~/.Xmodmap normally only works if you have a line in a startup file that runs xmodmap on it :)22:21
fcastillosarnold: not sure what you mean by that, meaning I have to run xmodmap on boot anyway, it doesn't automatically runs?22:22
fcastillosarnold: nonetheless, when enabling scroll lock with xmodmap, gnome because so sluggish, which is very weird, and hence I'm trying to find a more up-to-date answer. All the answers out there are from around 2014, some 2016, before Ubuntu used gnome-shell22:24
sarnoldfcastillo: exactly -- here's my ~/.xsession https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Gs8bjYdF9v/  -- I'm using setxkbmap instead of xmodmap these days, but it's the same idea22:25
