[00:15] Hi, something messes up my ip rules. They change to something else a couple of seconds after `netplan apply`. 18.04 with docker and kubernetes on it. [00:19] hrmph :( ip monitor can print changes but don't seem to include which pid asked for the changes :( [00:21] Hello, I have an HP Laserjet P1006, and tried the ubuntu native add printer, hplip and cups, no success. Is there anyone who can help? [00:21] what do you see? do you get error messages? can you see it on the network with eg nmap? [00:22] sarnold, The printer is there, the computer sees the printer, but no sheets come out [00:22] for what it is worth, I can confidently attest speedtest-cli is truly innacurate and apparently the git author/team acknowledges it and will not accept bugs to improve it, however ookla has a linux binary that seems to be very stable and the results make sense. Unfortunately it is not open source. If people care to see stable results the open source package doesn't do it [00:22] There are 21 pending jobs [00:23] Normally HP is pretty good about printer drivers, but this time is a doozy [00:24] I have added, removed, re-added the printer, to no avail [00:24] CUPS keeps complaining that I have not entered root credentials when I have [00:24] Tried four ways to connect the printer via USB. This is for Ubuntu 20.04 [00:29] here: https://pastebin.com/69Qx8UD0 [00:29] Someone keeps telling me to get a Mac to fix the printer problem. [00:30] "there was a problem processing document..." [00:35] It seems that in the years I have used Linux, the printer/peripheral device issue has grown worse. [00:46] Ubuntu has gone downhill if they distro cannot get printers working. [00:46] *crash* [00:46] Sub-par distro [00:47] anyway to move where these notifications appear on ubuntu 20.04? https://imgur.com/a/Yu0xfOD [00:47] seems they always want to display at top left [01:02] hi all. What's the status on the 18.04 > 20.04 upgrade path? Isn't the .1 out now? [01:06] since https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development still lists focal, I think the upgrade path still isn't live you; you can run do-release-upgrade -d to start it early if you wish [01:07] I prefer not to until the proper path is ready, but it should have been with the .1. The status page (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/focal-fossa-20-04-1-lts-point-release-status-tracking/17604) says "Upgrades from 18.04 to 20.04.1 are still disabled as we are working through a few upgrade blockers".

[07:39] I need it to compile kernel module/drivers as it is needed in /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-42-generic/tools/build/Makefile.build, line 37 states so, but it doesn't exist. [07:40] borw3: why are you compiling kernel? [07:41] I am not compiling kernel, it's just a wifi driver that needs to be compiled, but the kernel of Ubuntu is missing that file. [07:42] borw3: if something doesnt work out of the box, please file a new !bug for the current kernel, you dont need own compiles really [07:43] lotuspsychje, LOL! I am not compiling the kernel, I am trying to install wifi drivers. but that file /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-42-generic/tools/build/Build.include is missing [07:44] borw3: yeah i understand you, still i would advice you to search the root of the problem why your wifi driver is not working properly first [07:45] borw3: if nobody files bugs, the developers will never know about your issue, agree? [07:46] borw3: can you share your dmesg plz? [07:46] lotuspsychje, I am trying to develop/update old drivers of wifi card rt3290sta, I been maintaining my own version as the original stopped working after kernel 3.7.x but mine also has stopped working and it's due to that missing file, [07:47] the driver works fine(but with low power) with the normal kernel drivers out of the box, this one I am trying to handle has boosted power. [07:47] low power means low range. [07:48] I have to literally be sitting 1m away from the wifi router for it to give reasonable speeds. LOL! [07:48] borw3: oh if you are trying to contribute/develop please talk to the #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-kernel guys, they might give you more insight about it then [07:49] lotuspsychje, thanks, didn't know that.

Also the HDMI Audio is being detected as TU106 High Definition Audio Controller [09:08] idk but it seems that 5.4.x really breaks Ubuntu [09:08] hahaha [09:08] should I downgrade to 5.3.x? lol [09:09] back I've found this, don'lt know how to do this without wifi [09:09] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1134101/tp-link-archer-t3u-not-working-in-ubuntu-18-04 [09:11] hahahaha [09:11] I think one should downgrade the kernel [09:12] This kernel (5.4) already been patched 42 times [09:12] idk why, anyone can attend this issue?

[09:19] WoeUSB [09:19] but to much work [09:19] interesting audio working now.... === mateen1 is now known as mateen [09:36] Is ZOL in Ubuntu 20.04 good enough for production? [09:51] it's marked as "experimental" so I would suggest not [09:53] xtao: I was reading this https://ubuntu.com/blog/zfs-focus-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-whats-new and it says "The first thing to note is that our ZFS support with ZSys is still experimental." ... From that I was not sure if ZFS support itself was experimental, or if it was the 'support with ZSys' was experimental. === mateen1 is now known as mateen [10:03] I have an old machine with 8gb ram. what's a good lightweight window manager? [10:03] it's probably fine for home use but i'd be wary of using it for any business use. just personal opinion though [10:04] nsaunders: my laptop has 4GB and runs XFCE (xubuntu) quite happily [10:07] xtao: thx [10:09] installing xfc34 from apt now. do I need to reboot to switch over? [10:13] I should install xubuntu-desktop to switch over fully? [10:14] how do you want to use xubuntu? [10:14] I'm not sure. [10:15] I was looking at an askubuntu q where they were saying it wasn't much different, but then a comment said to remove ubuntu-desktop. [10:15] I'm not looking for speed so much as I think I run out of RAM and get freezes. Sometimes a pegged CPU. [10:16] what's the distincton between xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop? [10:18] not sure. i just installed xubuntu from scratch so that became the default desktop out of the box. there's a #xubuntu channel which is dedicated to that flavor. i assume if you were using ubuntu then my uneducated guess would be that xfce4 would add it as an additional desktop environment where you could use the gnome login manager to select either gnome or xfce, and xubuntu-desktop probably converts ... [10:18] ...it into xubuntu itself using the lightdm manager etc ? [10:26] nsaunders: you really don't need to [10:26] don't remove ubuntu-desktop though. [10:30] there's also quite a difference between xfce 4.12 and 4.14. the visual themes were updated and look a lot nicer. 20.04 has 4.14. if on an older version i'm not sure which one you'll get === westor{off} is now known as westor [10:45] how to upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 from terminal? [10:46] arpad2: 19.10 is end of life by now, not advice to upgrade from eol releases [10:47] lotuspsychje: so, fresh install is the way forward then? [10:47] arpad2: that would be a better aproach yes, to avoid security flaws in your system see !usn [10:47] arpad2: I would put the sources.list of 20.04 in /etc/apt/sources.list and sudo apt-dist upgrade [10:47] but dont trust me much [10:49] overclock: thanks, though it puzzles me why wasn't upgrade offered, that is how I upgraded usually [10:52] should be able to upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04 surely? there's no releases in-between those [10:54] although i guess you might have to do 19.10 to 20.04 to 20.04.1 [10:55] Hello, does Ubuntu have a Fedora like fpaste app builtin? something in which I can quickly from the terminal paste a snippet to a pastebin? [10:55] hi all, in 20.04 the wifi icon shows question mark after connecting to a VPN via Cisco Anyconnect client, as if there is no internet. I did not see it when I was on 18.04 [10:56] !pastebinit | vbgunz [10:56] vbgunz: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [10:57] what's the distinction between xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop? [10:57] lotuspsychje: thanks, it's here on 20.04 <3 [10:57] and, after having installed xubuntu-desktop, I need to remove buntu-desktop? [10:58] nsaunders, why not put xfec4 and xubuntu-desktop into packages.ubuntu.com & compare yourself. xubuntu-desktop is the meta package put together by the Xubuntu team... [10:58] guiverc: I don't understand what you mean by "put" into packages? [10:59] nsaunders, https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xubuntu-desktop shows what's included in xubuntu-desktop for focal/20.04 [10:59] I see [10:59] likewise https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xfce4 for xfce4 [11:01] (I'm just in text mode right nowA) [11:01] BUT THANK YOU FOR THE LINK [11:01] whoops, caps.. [11:01] nsaunders, then use `apt-cache show` & like term commands [11:02] nsaunders: are you going to install xubuntu ontop another ubuntu base? [11:02] (or lynx, w3m etc browsers) [11:07] \quit [11:08] Hi. Hui Wang, a canonical employee suggested me to install https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-ucm-conf/1.2.2-1ubuntu0.1 [11:09] Will this pacakge be intalled automatically in some of the next Ubuntu versions? [11:09] (patches) [11:09] I think I'm going to remove ubuntu-desktop [11:09] nsaunders: did you originally install ubuntu-desktop as base? [11:10] it came installed as such with 20.04 I believe [11:10] (going to reboot now..) [11:10] nsaunders: not sure yet whats your end goal plan, but we advice when you like a !flavour of ubuntu, to install it clean [11:11] I am guessing ubuntu doesn't come in mint flavor? XD [11:11] nsaunders: installing flavours ontop another base, then purge the base will give you troubles [11:11] hmm [11:11] Cyber_Akuma: mint is a derivative [11:11] I know [11:11] was just making a joke [11:12] well, I just installed the other day, so even I have to clean install it's no big loss [11:21] after having installed xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop and then removing ubuntu-desktop it doesn't look any different.. [11:22] nsaunders: different then what, a clean xubuntu install? [11:24] yes [11:25] I was expecting a different look [11:25] nsaunders: well nothing can beat a clean install for sure, but glad it worked out for you, you might still have packages from both worlds in your system now [11:27] I see. hmm. [11:28] I think I had too many logins, too much running and so was getting freezes. I was thinking that by switching to xubuntu-desktop fewer resources (ram) would be consumed. but, graphically, it seems unchanged. that's because of artifacts from ubuntu-desktop? [11:34] Hi all === xtao_ is now known as xtao [12:06] Moving a file with a colon in its name from btrfs to FAT32 silently renames that file and replaces colons with underscores.

[13:37] Did 20.04 get rid of support for preseed files? [13:37] genii, one moment i'll check right now. [13:38] that reminds me of another problem. i switch between the machine in question and my desktop via a kvm switch.

[16:18] I oddly enough tried it on a live USB and it installed no problem, but on my laptop with 20.04, it fails to install. [16:20] I'm also curious that if anyone else here has reported this issue.

[18:42] Is 18.04 too old? Trying to use a pre-made VM, it says it cannot download all sources for VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO [18:42] pagios: that's the only line of output? [18:43] rsync: mkstemp "/nfs/zimbra.orig/clamav-0.97.3/etc/.clamd.conf.nkiWnr" failed: Permission denied (13) [18:43] tomreyn: [18:44] can you create "touch" this? [18:44] i mean: can you "touch" this? [18:44] touch /nfs/zimbra.orig/clamav-0.97.3/etc/.clamd.conf.nkiWnr [18:44] touch: cannot touch `/nfs/zimbra.orig/clamav-0.97.3/etc/.clamd.conf.nkiWnr': Permission denied [18:45] ls -altrh /nfs/zimbra.orig/clamav-0.97.3/etc/ [18:45] dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Aug 2 20:01 . [18:45] drwxrwxrwx. 10 root root 0 Aug 26 21:30 [18:47] pagios: looks like you can't write there, or not this file [18:48] i did a chmod -R 777 /nfs [18:48] if i change the permission of rhat dir it works.. [18:48] but why that dir didnt get the 777? as u see it is a dr-x [18:49] consider a chmod command on a network file system to be a 'request' to change something, not guaranteed to succeed. sometimes, those just fail silenty [18:50] you could just point rsync to a different directory for temporary files using -T, --temp-dir=DIR create temporary files in directory DIR [18:50] ok how can i solve this thing [18:50] see above [18:51] i can write there [18:51] the file was written there from another system [18:56] Is virtualbox-guest-additions-iso of 18.04 no longer available/correct? [18:58] rapidwave: it should be included int he virtualbox package [18:58] Firefox 80.0 not showing on running processes even though firefox is open. the terminal command "ps -A | grep firefox" returns blank. I am on Ubuntu 20.04. [18:59] rapidwave: but i'd personally prefer the packages from virtualbox.org, those in ubuntu have not been in very good shape, and you can't get support with them from virtualbox [18:59] Hmm. I'm just trying to install guest additions on the guest so it'll work with the host [19:00] the VM isn't showing the shared folders and on boot-up it complains about version mismatch === akem is now known as RamsesIV [19:02] hugh_marera: you'll be better services with "ps -ef" or "ps a" [19:03] tomreyn: even pkill/killall seems not to close firefox too [19:03] rapidwave: is the guest running a supported ubuntu version, or the host, or both? and which version? and which virtualbox packages are you using? [19:06] hugh_marera: why are you trying to do this, what's the greater gioal? [19:06] *goal [19:08] my goal is to be able to close firefox from the terminal. I was able to do so via "pkill firefox" from the terminal, until today's update to firefox 80.0. So, am not sure if it is me only having this problem [19:08] THe host is Windows 10 with VirtualBox 6.0...guest is Ubuntu 18.04.1 [19:08] i can't see firefox with ps -A but it does appear with ps -ef [19:09] that's odd though isn't it, as -A according to the man page is show all processes [19:10] xtao: can you kill firefox from the terminal? [19:10] like pkill firefox [19:11] yeah that's weird. so -A and -e do the same thing according to the man page. neither option shows firefox. but if you add -f then it works. -f is only meant to show more columns [19:11] and no, pkill firefox does nothing [19:11] ps -ef does show it [19:35] hugh_marera, if you want to do -A it's called MainThread [19:37] DocMors: Ok, i thought it is supposed to show all processes? [19:38] well not sure maybe they changed the name, I do -ef normally because I get more info [19:39] this is what it shows on the manpage " -A Select all processes. Identical to -e." [19:40] yeah it's the same process ID. just it's called MainThread with -A and firefox with -f. i guess it's something related to process threads then. but the man page isn't really clear on what that's meant to show [19:40] Ultimately i was searching for the process id for firefox but running "ps -A | grep firefox" returns a blank [19:41] hugh_marera, I did that in the past too but they changed something [19:43] so i cannot kill firefox from the terminal. I think this started from the update i did today . now "pkill firefox " or "killall firefox" do not kill firefox at all [19:43] pgrep -lf firefox [19:44] hugh_marera, you can killall MainThread [19:45] like killall MainThread firefox? [19:46] no just like 'killall MainThread' but you can just try instead of asking these questions [19:46] or kill by pid [19:48] sarnold: how do i get the pid for firefox? [19:48] "ps aux" at command line, hugh_marera [19:48] omitt the quotations [19:48] * DocMors wonders whether he's a remidial learner or a troll [19:49] hugh_marera: pgrep firefox might do it [19:49] pgrep firefox returns a blank [19:50] so what is it that you don't underdtand in 'they changed the name to MainThread' [19:50] hugh_marera: I used ps auxw | grep firefox when I needed to kill firefox by hand last week [19:50] killall MainThread firefox works [19:50] shocking [19:51] ps auxw | grep firefox also works. Thanks [19:52] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1270324/nvidia-proprietary-drivers-20-04-1-fail-with-dependency-problems [19:52] Back. Went to post on there. I'll just leave that here so it increases exposure and I don't need to repeat. [19:52] DocMors: I was used to "pkill firefox " or "killall firefox" working. [19:53] you'll find that things change all the time, get used to it :) [19:53] For instance i can close gnumeric via simple pkill/killall [19:53] Dang he's right it doesn't work. [19:54] I wonder what the new command is? Just joined so I didn't see. [19:54] MikeRL, "building initial module for 5.8.4-050804-generic ... " but we run 5.4.0-42 [19:54] add that to your question ? [19:54] oerheks, I have since removed it and rebooted. All updated kernels are gone. Using the one that ships now. [19:55] oerheks, I purged them in Synaptic. If you look at the newer pastes, they shouls not be present. [19:55] Wait. [19:55] You're right. [19:58] Give me a sec. I may have forgot to update the paste or reboot. [20:05] moin [20:05] can I somehow paste a filepath in the gtk file open dialog? I have very often the usecase that I've the filepath already in the clipboard... [20:06] other file dialogs have a textbox - or the "buttonbar" with the current path gets a textbox after clicking on it [20:07] Hi, this is just a curiosity: in plain bash, Spanish keyboard layout, several times I got accidentally "combinations" of two letters like this: ㏚ (Square pr, Unicode 0x33DA) when trying to type those two letters, but pressing some wrong key at the same time... I can't figure out nor reproduce the mistake; when searching, I can find about p. e. Ctrl+Shift+U33DA but nothing involving two letters [20:07] mifritscher: ctrl-l, ctrl-v [20:08] I asked some days ago and Sven_vB answered, but didn't answered a second time [20:09] Try now guys. The question at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1270324/nvidia-proprietary-drivers-20-04-1-fail-with-dependency-problems has been updated. [20:10] tomreyn: ah, thanks - seems to work ;) is there a way to get this key combo in this window - or does only asking (or perhaps a search engine albeit I didn't know the right search words I must admit) help? [20:13] Warning: The home dir /nonexistent you specified can't be accessed: No such file ?? [20:15] mifritscher: i don't understand what you mean by "is there a way to get this key combo in this window" - didn't i just explain this? [20:17] get = read fits perhaps better ;-) I know my memory^^ === MI6 is now known as \dev\null [20:18] So I asked if there is a way that the window can tell me the combo if I forget it again [20:18] oh ok [20:18] jem: it took me years to figure out I was catching the F11 key with my finger when I hit backspace [20:19] mifritscher: IIRC, if you rm ~/.config/gnome-initial-setup-done and log out and log in, you should get to see a list of common keyboard shortcuts towards the end. [20:20] i'm not sure whether application specific ones like ctrl-l for nautilus will be on this list, though [20:21] tomreyn: little problem: I'm using gtk applications with the mate desktop - or even on Windows *g* [20:22] this channel is about ubuntu and its common foundations with other flavours. you may want to ask in #ubuntu-mate [20:22] or ##windows [20:23] (and logging off and on just to get the key combos is a bit ... overcomplicated^^) [20:24] I installed postfix before but now I want to reconfigureit, but can access the menu. how do I get that again? [20:28] oerheks, What does that mean? [20:28] I see the text in the paste. [20:30] MikeRL, i have no clue there, still looking for simular issues, linux wide [20:31] Niklas_E: do you mean "dpkg-reconfigure postfix" ? [20:31] i think the driver 450 + dkms is wonky, try one lower, 440? [20:31] oerheks, Are you saying this is a known issue others have reported? [20:31] aha, maybe [20:31] Searching up the error yields nothing. [20:31] no, but i read some issues days ago .. i have been away for a while [20:33] For the heck of it, I created a folder called /nonexistant at the root of the FS and /home. [20:33] Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could answer a question for me or point me in a direction where I could find an answer. Is there a way to make partman in preseed accept mkfs options? Particularly to add or remove features [20:33] Wondering if it'll fall for it. [20:34] ie mkfs.ext4 -O ^$feature [20:35] Loshki: I can imagine :), but I guess it's not my case [20:38] Well even creating a bs directory still causes it to error out. [20:38] b_rake, probably not the best answer, but in a ditch you could make a wrapper script around partman, or straight-out patch it to make your desired options the defaults. and if that turns out cumbersome, there are other auto-install methods available, too. [20:39] Deleted both folders as they were empty and didn't trick it. [20:39]
