[00:33] <tripleb> 20.04 re DE. I have no alternatives for DE on the login screen (that I know of) but I altered things so there is a top panel -- applications Places (space for shortcuts, space, space for shirtcuts, system icons time, last icon (about, logout... shutdown). Also a bottom panel taskbar, workspaces. --- I want to go back to vanilla 20.04 Ganome. How do I do that?

[04:29] <moonfmdesire> Hi I am trying to add a printer in ubuntu 20.04, an hp
[04:29] <moonfmdesire> model # laserjet p10006
[04:29] <moonfmdesire> I tried hp lip, no dice
[04:30] <moonfmdesire> the add printer dialog in default ubuntu, no dice
[04:30] <moonfmdesire> any ideas?
[04:31] <moonfmdesire> The interface sees the printer but the printer will not...print.
[04:36] <moonfmdesire> CUPS is not working either
[04:37] <moonfmdesire> Anyone home?
[04:38] <guiverc> moonfmdesire, people will respond when/if they're able to help
[04:38] <moonfmdesire> I guess the problem is too deep, then.
[05:22] <furycd001> HI guys.. I have a lenovo monitor connected to my laptop via hdmi. Using xrandr I'm trying to set a non-native resolution of 1920 x 1080 to match my laptop. It works but I get a box with the following text bouncing around the screen.. "Input Signal Out of Range. Please Change to 1366 x 768 @60Hz" Is there any way I can chnage to a non-native resolution without this box appearing & bouncing around the screen :?
[05:28] <turboginger> @fury -- unless I am mistaken you can only set to a 'non-native' res if it is <= your max res.
[05:28] <turboginger> so if your monitor has a max res of 1366x768, that might be it
[05:30] <furycd001> Yea that's the max resolution for the monitor because I checked. It's just that I can changed the resolution to 1920x1080 no problem. The box bouncing around the screen is terribly annoying so I just end up switching back to 1366x768....
[05:34] <celrocAmaul> Hi all, I've been out of the Linux loop for a hot minute, and just wanted to sanity check something before I tried it.  With EFI, it should be possible to install Ubuntu to, say, an external hard disk or USB thumb-drive without even touching the internal drives, if I'm not mistaken?  And then if the external drive isn't present, the computer will just boot Windows as previous, like nothing's ever happened?
[05:38] <celrocAmaul> Ah, sorry, I think I meant UEFI
[05:53] <furycd001> You can definitely install Linux to an external drive without touching the internal. If you set the external drive to boot first in the bios boot menu, your computer should automatically switch to the main internal drive if it can't boot from the external one. Could be wrong....
[05:54] <furycd001> Well my old dell dimension worked like that....
[05:55] <celrocAmaul> furycd001: Thank you!  :-D
[05:55] <furycd001> Not a problem :)
[05:56] <furycd001> Oh & if your worried about installing to the wrong drive or anything you could always disconnect the internal drive while doing the installation. That's what I did the first time I installed to an external drive....
[05:57] <celrocAmaul> furycd001: I've been reading through the guides on it, and it looks like I mainly need to creat a UEFI partition on the external drive, mount it to /boot/efi and set the "boot" flag.  The only thing that I'm a little fuzzy on at the moment is how the Ubuntu installer will know to use the external drive's UEFI partition and not touch the internal one
[05:57] <celrocAmaul> furycd001: That's a really good idea.  I might just do that to double-ensure that I don't muck things up lol
[05:57] <twb> in Ubuntu 20.04 default GUI (gnome-shell, I guess?), is there a way to run a foo.sh script from the file manager?  Double-clicking opens an editor.  Right-click context menu doesn't offer anything like "just run the thing"
[05:58] <twb> I can spin up gnome-terminal I'm just wondering if there's still a GUI way
[05:59] <furycd001> Yea I was worried the first time, but after doing it a few times I was fine....
[05:59] <furycd001> Gimme a sec I'm looking for a link I have on uefi....
[05:59] <celrocAmaul> furycd001: By the sounds of it, you've installed it without detaching the disk, and everything worked fine?
[06:01] <furycd001> Yea everything working fine as far as I could tell....
[06:03] <matsaman> twb: yes of course
[06:03] <celrocAmaul> furycd001: Thank you kindly, that helps put my mind at ease ^.^
[06:03] <twb> matsaman: OK, cool.  Where should I be looking?
[06:04] <Hashtag> I've done this before but I forgot how... how do you change the permissions of a directory so you can mess with the contents without having to sudo every time?
[06:04] <matsaman> twb: you should at most have to associate it with an executable that just passes it to a terminal; most terminals have a param for executing a particular command or path
[06:04] <furycd001> This was the link I found whenever I was trying to boot the netinstall.iso from efi on a 2009 white macbook....
[06:04] <furycd001> https://www.onetransistor.eu/2015/12/install-ubuntu-minimal-cd-uefi-enabled.html
[06:05] <celrocAmaul> furycd001: Oh, thank you, I'll definitely give that a look
[06:05] <twb> matsaman: oh OK.  I didn't mean to run in a terminal at all, just execute it the same as if I did alt+f2 /home/alice/foo.sh"
[06:06] <twb> matsaman: I did find the file association thing but it didn't offer gnome-terminal.desktop for text/x-shell-script or whatever
[06:06] <twb> matsaman: I can sort that out if that's the only way
[06:06] <furycd001> As long as you set up the drive correctly & then select the right one during the installation everything should be fine :)
[06:06] <twb> matsaman: in the old days nautilus would just run stuff if you double-clicked on it
[06:06] <matsaman> twb: no you can run it without a terminal open, too, a command is a command
[06:07] <matsaman> twb: you won't get much visual feed back or confirmation, though, unless you bake it in, though of course
[06:08] <celrocAmaul> furycd001: Ohhh!  And I bet I can go into the installer, click the internal drive's EFI partition, and choose "Do not use this partition" to unset it altogether!  Thanks man, I think that was the missing piece of the puzzle that I'd needed!
[06:09] <furycd001> @Hashtag: you could use the following to change the folder permission to your user. Just change $USER to your user & the folder location at the end.... sudo chown -R $USER ~/.locationforfolder
[06:11] <furycd001> I've never noticed that before, but you probably could do that. Glad I could help....
[06:12] <Hashtag> furycd001: Ah, that is explains it. The directory was owned by root
[06:13] <furycd001> Would explain why you've needed sudo lol....

[07:08] <nikolam> Hi, what is the best way to debug/save debug information, When I have screen freezing after comping back form Standby?
[07:09] <nikolam> It had AMD graphics, (7850) and I can log into machine via ssh.. but screen is frozen, yet mouse cursor is able to move
[07:10] <nikolam> Both ps/2 and USB mouse are able to move mouse cursor but all the rest of the X session is frozen (also Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2.. doe snot react on keyboard press.. I also tried USB and PS/2 keyboards
[07:10] <nikolam> I think it has something to do with firefox "i think". when coming back form the Standby state
[07:11] <nikolam> and possibly graphics driver.. (Graphics have separate power supply as disks too, and it didn't went into standby mode)
[07:12] <nikolam> I had something like this before/recently (after 20.04) and I think it does not happen IF Firefox is not running after coming back from the standby.
[07:12] <luna_> Firefox 80 is released now
[07:13] <nikolam> I started typing something into Firefox in some web page form and screen freezes
[07:13] <nikolam> Can I collect some debug data, since I can ssh to machine, before restart?
[07:14] <matsaman> nikolam: sure you can't just killall firefox and avoid the restart?
[07:14] <nikolam> there are some threads named "Web Content" and "WebExtensions" eve I just killed firefox
[07:16] <nikolam> when I try to kill them, they are now <defunct>
[07:17] <nikolam> and can't be removed witth kill -9 anymore
[07:20] <nikolam> I have ssh -X session so I am collecting with apport-collect about X server
[07:22] <nikolam> Maybe the problem is that graphics card external power, does not also cut-off/goes into standby, when machine goes into standby and then driver misbihaves after coming back from standby, but that is  a new since 20.04
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> nikolam: easy on the enter button please, try to ask 1 question then patiently wait until volunteers reply
[07:24] <nikolam> apport-collect reported it managed to send debug data, but failed to open firefox over ssh -X, it detected firefox running.. even not running.
[07:26] <nikolam> lotuspsychje, any suggestion how to collect more debug data before reboot.. apport-collect said it maanged to send some debug data but couldn't open firefox to, presumely log into Launchpad and post a bug report.

[15:08] <croraf> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1892714 what does this mean: you need to remove "options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0", and upload a new dmesg with that removed.
[15:08] <croraf> what is dmesg, is this another apport-collect 1892714?
[15:11] <tomreyn> croraf: you must have a coniguration in /etc/modprobe.d/ which passes this option to this module
[15:11] <croraf> I know how to remove this option
[15:11] <tomreyn> croraf: dmesg is a command you can run, it prints the kernel log
[15:11] <croraf> (althouhg my pc crashes without it)
[15:12] <croraf> So he wants me to restart with this option. Do a dmesg command and past somehow? tomreyn
[15:12] <tomreyn> apport automatically gatehered the dmesg output when you ran ubuntu-bug / apport to collect logs
[15:12] <tomreyn> the request is that you disable the module option and reboot, then run dmesg, captuire its output to a file, and attach this file to the bug report
[15:14] <tomreyn> hui has a @canonoical.com email address, so we should assume this is a serious request, not just a random person trying to give clues.

[16:05] <arooni> well i do have some gnome shell extensions installed
[16:05] <arooni> but nothing too crazy
[16:05] <ledeni> arooni: it is openweather extension  and dont load weather for location you set
[16:06] <arooni> yay!  mystery solved!
[16:06] <lotuspsychje> what a fast solution oO
[16:07] <arooni> according to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ ; i dont have have openweather installed
[16:07] <arooni> i did though when i logged in; maybe i need to restart

[19:00] <DWSR> Hi all, are there instructions anywhere on how to build a custom Ubuntu image for a Raspberry Pi? I'm trying to build an image that is as small as possible for my Pi.
[19:04] <sarnold> DWSR: it'd probably be easier to take the existing images and apt-get purge whatever you don't want
[19:07] <DWSR> sarnold: That's my fallback, but I'd rather build from scratch repeatably than kludge backwards.
[19:09] <sarnold> DWSR: alright, if you're feeling adventurous :) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage  is the starting point for many of the ubuntu 'image' things -- I don't know if it is used for rpi things or not, but it's the threat I've got a hold of :)
[19:10] <DWSR> sarnold: It appears that it is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1892185

[21:15] <RadioMan> I have a question, concernong vpn and ubuntu
[21:15] <RadioMan> here it is
[21:17] <RadioMan> i am new to the game and do not in any way need my ubuntu network manager changed to suffice a vpn, that being said, which commercial vpn will suit the needs of the casual consumer to which will not sacrifice the machines integrity.. thanks
[21:19] <sarnold> RadioMan: any vpn provider that uses wireguard or ipsec or openvpn should work, just so long as you can install it from ubuntu's repository rather than their repository
[21:20] <RadioMan> i see, great points, i have yet to set up open vpn.. thank you sarnold
[21:21] <RadioMan> anything else i may need to know ? .. thank you for your time and efforts
[21:22] <Aavar_> How can I dissable showing window content whilde dragging i cinnamon?
[21:24] <sarnold> RadioMan: just the usual caveat that a vpn doesn't provide magical security dust -- they get to see all the contents of all your connections, so it'd be best if those are done using TLS or SSH or similar, so your VPN provider doesn't just get handed a stream of everything you care the most about
[21:25] <RadioMan> thats what i was worried about sarnold , thanks for the insight. be blessed.. thank you
[21:26] <alichtman> Hey, I've got a really weird issue that popped up for me today. I turned my monitor on when I got up this morning and got a black screen. Couldn't revive it or enter any keystrokes to do anything, so I powered off the computer with the power switch. I restarted and (applied some pending updates I'd installed) now can not type all the characters on my keyboard in chat apps like Discord or Signal. Otherwise everything
[21:26] <alichtman> works fine
[21:26] <alichtman> How do I even start debugging this?
[21:27] <RadioMan> have a good day people
[21:28] <alichtman> My last backup is from 8 days ago so not the worst case if I just have to revert
[21:28] <alichtman> but this seems like it should be fixable
[21:28] <alichtman> and is also the weirdest bug I've ever personally run into
[21:28] <alichtman> I'm not sure if this is the right channel for this. If there's a better place, please let me know
[21:29] <matsaman> alichtman: you got space in your fs?
[21:29] <alichtman> Yeah, I should have plenty
[21:30] <tomreyn> alichtman: both of these are third party applications (not supported here), and both of them are electron applications, i think. they probably have their own support channels somewhere.
[21:30] <alichtman> ~200GB available
[21:31] <alichtman> I figured this was an Ubuntu issue instead of an individual app issue
[21:31] <alichtman> because multiple apps had the same problem
[21:31] <tomreyn> if they're both electron apps that's another unifying factor, and one that probably only applies to those.
[21:32] <alichtman> Gotcha
[21:32] <alichtman> Do you have any suggestions for approaching this problem, even if it's not an Ubuntu issue?
[21:32] <tomreyn> "they probably have their own support channels somewhere."
[21:33] <alichtman> alright, thanks
[21:34] <tomreyn> alichtman: which ubuntu version are you on? which character doesn't work? i got a copy of signal on ubuntu 18.04, so could try.
[21:36] <alichtman> I'm on 20.10, and most characters on my keyboard aren't working (h,a,s,d,etc). y and f do though
[21:37] <alichtman> I've been on 20.10 for a long time (~4 months). Never had an issue like this
[21:37] <alichtman> for today, I've been copying and pasting into my discord chats
[21:38] <alichtman> All punctuation works fine
[21:38] <alichtman> same for numbers

[21:40] <alichtman> tomreyn: I'm new to IRC, what does the syntax in your last message mean?
[21:40] <tomreyn> it instructs ubottu, the channel bot, to tell you what it just did
[21:40] <alichtman> ah okay
[21:40] <alichtman> that's cool. I didn't know IRC bots were a thing
[21:41] <tomreyn> the ubuntu releases supported here, on #ubuntu, are listed in the channel /topic
[21:42] <alichtman> I'll hop over to that channel
[21:42] <alichtman> thanks
[21:45] <sarnold> alichtman: btw, do you by chance have a 'fn' button on your keyboard? or something that changes 'layers' or something similar?
[22:14] <mindbender1> Hello all
[22:15] <arooni> can i move *where* the notification window is on ubuntu 20.04
[22:16] <mindbender1> Please I need links to a guide on how to patch my kernel
[22:17] <tomreyn> arooni: it's under date + time. and you can move date + time using the 'dash to panel' extension
[22:18] <arooni> tomreyn:are we talking about the same thing?  i'm talking about those pop up messages from different apps
[22:19] <arooni> like calendar ; irc chat ; etc
[22:19] <tomreyn> there are different types of pop-up messages. but if you're referring to the gnome-shell notifications, yes, same thing.
[22:19] <arooni> gnome-shell notifications i believe yes
[22:20] <arooni> but they dont appera on the menu bar
[22:21] <tomreyn> mindbender1: why?
[22:21] <tomreyn> and patch how?
[22:21] <mindbender1> tomreyn, I have a patch I want to apply
[22:22] <tomreyn> against which kernel version?
[22:22] <mindbender1> tomreyn, The kernel for 20.04 i.e , 5.4 ...
[22:24] <tomreyn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel
[22:24] <mindbender1> The docs on ubuntu.com seem to be advising just in case you need to contribute
[22:25] <mindbender1> tomreyn, what about the issue around signing?
[22:25] <tomreyn> mindbender1: disable secureboot. or spend a lot of time on understanding how to properly sign it yourself and make the mainboard firmware accept that signature
[22:26] <mindbender1> tomreyn, I have already read a lot about signing
[22:26] <tomreyn> to spend a lot of time, start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot
[22:26] <mindbender1> I just need that article that ties it up!
[22:26] <tomreyn> it's all there, i would think
[22:27] <mindbender1> tomreyn, not really
[22:28] <mindbender1> The signing seems centered around kernel modules
[22:28] <mindbender1> Not the kernel itself
[22:29] <mindbender1> I remember reading it up on speed but can;t really get to it again
[22:32] <tomreyn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/KeyManagement/ImageSigning discusses how to sign a kernel image with an existing private key, you'd need to generate that key beforehand, and import the matching certificate (or that of its signing (intermedia) CA) via mokmanager
[22:32] <jeremy31> If the secure boot enforcement flag isn't set in the kernel, signed modules shouldn't be an issue
[22:33] <xbfrog> hi, i have 2 laptops both running ubuntu 20.04 both fully updated both connected to the same wifi. yesterday i got a message from the other laptop in chrome that site ubuntuupdates.org cannot be reached. check your internet connection check dns..but it doesnt happen with that laptop on every site just some. this laptop "can" connect to that page what's going on?
[22:42] <tomreyn> xbfrog: maybe it has a shaky wireless lan connection?
[22:43] <tomreyn> this sounds like intermittent network stability issues
[22:44] <xbfrog> ok
[22:45] <xbfrog> been using the same desk and internet connection. just started happening
[22:45] <xbfrog> what would cause the connection to be unstable?
[22:46] <xbfrog> nothings changed but updates
[22:46] <xbfrog> just seems odd
[22:50] <tomreyn> is the wireless chipset supported by ubuntu?
[22:51] <tomreyn> if it depends on an out of tree kernel moduleyou may need to update this from the source and rebuild it.
[23:52] <mrstrange> hey guys i apt-removed nginx and then i removed /etc/nginx
[23:52] <mrstrange> now when i reinstall nginx
[23:52] <mrstrange> it doesnt recreate the /etc/nginx folder
[23:52] <mrstrange> suggestions?
[23:54] <sarnold> mrstrange: try dpkg -l '*nginx*' | grep '^ii' --- then apt-get purge all those packages
[23:54] <sarnold> mrstrange: then try again
[23:58] <mrstrange> yes great thanks
