[00:00] <MzR_Massey> is there a better platform I should use?
[00:00] <MzR_Massey> for this chat?
[00:00] <sarnold> oh! hah I missed that you'r on the webchat. one would expect that to work well.
[00:00] <sarnold> then it's probably your network that's iffy :(
[00:01] <MzR_Massey> Yeah I was noticing that my internet was acting up some, but, i'm able to stay connected on everything else
[00:01] <sarnold> MzR_Massey: sudo -u icecast2 -i    should 'get you in' :)
[00:04] <MzR_Massey> should I do that through root
[00:04] <MzR_Massey> as doesn't seem to be doing anything
[00:05] <sarnold> donofrio: can you pastebin sudo apt list --installed   ?
[00:05] <sarnold> MzR_Massey: it depends on your sudo configuratoin, but if your user account can use sudo to get to root, it can probably use sudo to change to the icecast2 user too
[00:06] <MzR_Massey> can I set a password to the icecast2 user?
[00:07] <sarnold> MzR_Massey: yes, but that might not be the easiest way to do whatever it is thta needs doing
[00:07] <donofrio> sarnold, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mmHg248Tpm/
[00:10] <MzR_Massey> weird
[00:10] <MzR_Massey> I try starting a new ssh session
[00:10] <MzR_Massey> with icecast2
[00:10] <MzR_Massey> i login correctly
[00:10] <MzR_Massey> and the window closes down
[00:11] <sarnold> MzR_Massey: does getent passwd icecase2   show something that suggests logins shouldn't work? system accounts often have invalid shells set, or /bin/false set, etc, to prevent them from being an exploit vecto
[00:12] <MzR_Massey> icecast2:x:114:119::/usr/share/icecast2:/bin/false
[00:12] <MzR_Massey> is what comes up
[00:14] <sarnold> okay, cool, you'll need to change the shell to /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash depending upon where your bash is located (well, /bin/bash ought to work, but I'm annoyed it moved..)
[00:14] <sarnold> MzR_Massey: sudo chsh icecast2
[00:15] <sarnold> donofrio: how about /var/log/apt/term.log  ?
[00:17] <MzR_Massey> okay, I changed it to /bin/bash... or should I change it to /usr/bin/bash
[00:19] <donofrio> sarnold, http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dB2sr7X5fX/
[00:24] <MzR_Massey> FINALLY! I have the icecast server running
[00:25] <donofrio> sarnold, https://paste.opensuse.org/23660973
[00:25] <MzR_Massey> sarnold  Thank you for your help
[00:27] <sarnold> MzR_Massey: woooo!
[00:30] <sarnold> donofrio: hmm I'm surprised to see dkms stuff in here -- should I be? :)
[00:30] <donofrio> sarnold, not sure....it would fail I'm guessing
[00:40] <sarnold> donofrio: I was pointed to https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-20-04-and-wsl-1/15291 and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4571748/windows-10-update-kb4571748
[02:04] <yamamotosama> im on ubuntu 14.04 and need development files for sqlite3, but the versions in the package manager are out of date
[02:04] <yamamotosama> what can I do in this case, is there some way to get the files from another package manager?
[02:05] <sarnold> yamamotosama: what problem are you trying to solve?
[02:06] <yamamotosama> i need higher version of sqlite3-dev than are available in the package repo
[02:06] <yamamotosama> in order to compile a program
[02:06] <yamamotosama> but i have to use ubuntu 14.04, so i cant just upgrade to a higher version
[02:08] <sarnold> yamamotosama: okay, probably the thing to do is download a new sqlite tarball from the sqlite upstream people, compile that, and install it into /usr/local/ -- and then configure your program to use the library from /usr/local
[02:08] <yamamotosama> would i actually need to install it though? i just need the development files
[02:08] <sarnold> if you want to run the program, probably yes
[02:09] <sarnold> it's a very rare program that uses the headers and *not* the library
[02:10] <yamamotosama> i dont see the files i need in the tarball
[02:11] <yamamotosama> only C files, no C++, is it possible for these to get generated if i build and install sqlite3?
[02:18] <sarnold> yamamotosama: it might be worth skimming through the build logs https://launchpadlibrarian.net/493645090/buildlog_ubuntu-groovy-amd64.sqlite3_3.33.0-1_BUILDING.txt.gz
[02:18] <apajo> I have dual boot isntalled on my computer. today i tried WSL2 in windows and i satarted to wonder.. can i use WSL2 also to boot up my other linux installation?
[02:18] <sarnold> oh! it only took ~five minutes to build on the builders, maybe it's worht just doing the build, and not looking :)
[02:20] <yamamotosama> the build seems pretty quick
[02:20] <yamamotosama> i installed the 3.33 tarball, and built it
[02:21] <yamamotosama> but now how do I use the libraries?
[02:21] <yamamotosama> aplogies, im a bit new with this
[02:24] <yamamotosama> i cant seem to find the cpp libraries
[02:29] <yamamotosama> is it possible to just download these from some other package repo?
[02:34] <sarnold> yamamotosama: I haven't built sqlite3 by hand, but there's a good chance that you can use ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/   .... when building it to tell it to install into /usr/local -- and then when you're compiling your actual program, you'd use something like ./configure --with-sqlite3=/usr/local/   or something similar. you'd have to check the docs, most projects describe how to use different paths
[02:34] <sarnold> for different libraries
[02:38] <yamamotosama> thanks, ill try this out!

[05:06] <furycd001> HI Guys.. I used cp to copy a bunch of rather large folders to an external drive. From here on how do I go about copying over only new files within these folders, without ever removing/deleting or changing the files that are already there on the drive ?? The web tells me that I can use either cp -u  or  rsync -av --ignore-existing, but I'm not sure which one I should use. Any help much appreciated....
[05:08] <furycd001> cp -ruv seems like it might be the command I'm looking for, but rsync may be the better choice. Not sure really....
[05:27] <nsaunders> how can I use systemctl, or something similar, to list logged in users and then force a logout?  I don't have a GUI or web browser at the moment.  I can reboot, but would like to try this first.
[05:34] <gry> nsaunders: hi
[05:35] <nsaunders> gry: hinderaker
[05:36] <gry> nsaunders: are they gui users or tty users?
[05:36] <nsaunders> gui users.   I tried pkill xorg   but am still caught in a loop of login screens
[05:37] <nsaunders> (I'm using virtual console to get on IRC and chat here.  I can reboot if necessary.)
[05:44] <guiverc> nsaunders, `users` provides a little detail of users logged in, `who -H` a little more (inc. if they're GUI or terminal)
[05:46] <gry> nsaunders: what guiverc said, but it seems to only apply to tty users - does not list my own gui session; my best clue so far is 'ps au'
[05:47] <guiverc> I tested on my box, and `who -H` shows my current users (inc. gui login I'm using currently)
[05:48] <gry> oh, good, thank you
[05:48]  * guiverc adds users was correct to, just I couldn't tell which was my gui login
[06:05] <Guddu> Could someone please help me get past this update error?
[06:05] <Guddu> https://dpaste.org/J82M
[06:10] <ThinkT510> Guddu: you'll need to contact Oracle to help you fix that. Also are you sure the repos you added are compatible with ubuntu?
[06:12] <ThinkT510> Guddu: ubuntu is based on debian but you can't just add debian repos to it (which is what those oracle repos appear to be for)
[06:12] <Guddu> ThinkT510, Thanks for your response. I got some steps on how to install Oracle10g on ubuntu and wa styring those.
[06:13] <Guddu> ThinkT510, I was trying steps from here https://www.linode.com/docs/databases/oracle/oracle-10g-express-edition-on-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid/
[06:15] <ThinkT510> Guddu: 10.04 is ancient and oracle ended support for 10g in 2013
[06:16] <Guddu> ThinkT510, Agree. I needed this to support a legacy system which is still far from upgrade.
[06:17] <ThinkT510> Guddu: since oracle's support ended in 2-13 i think you'll have a very hard time getting anything working. those servers are likely offline hence why it won't work.
[06:31] <Guddu> ThinkT510, server seems up though. i m just having tough time with ubuntu package manager to get working
[06:35] <ThinkT510> Guddu: the error you posted shows an invalid signature and that the repo doesn't support amd64. ubuntu doesn't do 32bit releases anymore so if that server is 32bit only then you won't get it working.
[06:36] <guiverc> ThinkT510: fYi: lubuntu's last x86 release was August 13, 2020; not that long ago
[06:37] <guiverc> s/lubuntu/ubuntu's
[06:37] <Guddu> Can't i install a 32 bit program on 64 Bit ubuntu? I thought it was allowed.
[06:40] <guiverc> Guddu, if you have multiarch setup... but the repo is so old I recall a change in signatures because of detected encryption flaw.. which could be your issue, but it was so long ago I can't recall specifics to help
[06:41] <guiverc> (ie. your ubuntu is using replacement encryption; that repo is using flawed-no-longer-valid encryption)\
[06:41]  * guiverc doesn't remember details well enough to rule out this being red-herring
[06:42] <Guddu> quiverc Thanks I will try to download individual files and see if i could get it working in that case.
[06:48] <Guddu> Thanks guiverc and ThinkT510 I will get back with the results.

[08:40] <falavic> How can i reset the keyboard settings?
[08:40] <falavic> i wanted to clean my keyboard, so i locked the screen and started cleaning. Used it for a while, nothing seemed wrong. Later i put the PC to sleep. Now the ESC doesn't work, LeftAlt + Tab doesn't work, instead rightAlt + Tab works. kind of like the left & right alt key have been swapped. Pressing LeftAlt creates a border around the applications.
[08:42] <falavic> tried running this: dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration; but didn't help
[09:00] <diskin> falavic, this sounds like a hardware problem. I suggest to clean it again :)
[09:05] <falavic> diskin, no i just cleaned the surface of the keys with ethanol and a piece of cloth. But while doing so, i was pressing a number of keys. i'm guessing that might've caused it.
[09:06] <falavic> also, like i said, the left and right alt key functionality seems to be swapped
[09:08] <isene> Use Case = Large business needs a private cloud solution that hooks into AD and can be accessed as a file system from Windows Explorer, from an iOS and Android app and from web. Needs to be Open Source as specific extensions needs to be built for bidirectional access to files in legacy systems. Version control and easy rollback to earlier versions is required. Sharing to external parties via web
[09:08] <isene> links - both directories and specific files. There is a multitude of solutions. Can anyone here suggest one or two? And yes, should be running on Ubuntu.
[09:09] <diskin> falavic, try running 'xev' in a terminal, and then press ESC and see if it generates any output.
[09:10] <falavic> diskin, it doesn't
[09:10] <diskin> falavic, then it is not working on hardware level
[09:10] <diskin> IMO
[09:12] <diskin> falavic, for swapping keys, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/93624/how-do-i-swap-left-ctrl-with-left-alt-on-my-keyboard
[09:15] <falavic> diskin, do you know any method that allows me resinstall the drivers of the kb
[09:15] <diskin> falavic, I don't...
[09:29] <xtao> could try booting into the BIOS screen and seeing if escape works in there

[09:57] <bsvo> is anyone here using  FiiO BTR5 as USB DAC/Amp on latest ubuntu?
[09:58] <lotuspsychje> bsvo: best to ask your real question, so volunteers can try think along whats it about
[09:59] <bsvo> I've described my problem here https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2449498&p=13982436#post13982436

[10:00] <bsvo> just wondering if this is a pulseaudio issue or a faulty dac

[10:06] <croraf_> How can I check if I properly installed nvidia drivers?
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: you asked that yesterday, did you forget?
[10:08] <croraf_> That yesterday was regarding "is my ubuntu using nvidia drivers"
[10:08] <croraf_> lotuspsychje,
[10:08] <croraf_> It is currently using nouveau drivers.
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: sudo lshw -C video
[10:09] <croraf_> this is the same command as sudo lshw -C display that I'm using lotuspsychje
[10:09] <croraf_> this just shows which drivers are loaded
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: at bottom you will see driver= ...here
[10:09] <croraf_> yes it is driver=nouveau
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: does that answer your question?
[10:10] <croraf_> I'm making a distinction about proper installation and proper loading
[10:10] <dex1983> maybe that is possible that would be great :-)
[10:10] <croraf_> This shows that nvidia drivers are not loaded.
[10:10] <FalcoGer> Hello
[10:11] <croraf_> lotuspsychje, how can i check if they are properly installed
[10:11] <croraf_> If this distinction makes sense
[10:11] <croraf_> (and which ones are installed)
[10:11] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: when driver= says nouveau that means nouveau is installed properly
[10:12] <FalcoGer> I downgraded a package with aptitude to install something that required a lower version. it didn't work out and now I want apt to automatically upgrade to the latest version again. but when I uninstalled and reinstalled it still installs the downgraded version of the package. How do I tell it to use the latest available version again?
[10:12] <croraf_> lotuspsychje, I'm talking about nvidia drivers
[10:12] <croraf_> are my nvidia driers installed properly, but something prevents them from being loaded
[10:16] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: you have to choose what you want first, you can install nouveau and nvidia drivers togheter
[10:17] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: when nouveau is active, nvidia drivers are passive waiting in your ubuntu-drivers list
[10:17] <croraf_> i want to install nvidia drivers and load them lotuspsychje
[10:17] <croraf_> how can i check that i have my nvidia drivers INSTALLED"?
[10:17] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: check ubuntu-drivers list, to see wich are available first
[10:19] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: when you installed an nvidia driver, you can check with sudo lshw -C video and/or nvidia-smi
[10:19] <croraf_> lotuspsychje, thanks. I have some issues. First of all ubuntu-drivers list | nc termbin.com 9999 doesnt want to give me the link
[10:20] <croraf_> so I cannot show you my response.
[10:20] <croraf_> what could be wrong with this, does it give link to you?
[10:21] <croraf_> lotuspsychje, it just outputs 4 lines like "dpkg: warning: version 'unsigned-5.8.0-050800' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit"
[10:21] <croraf_> I guess the command fails
[10:23] <croraf_> I mean I tried to install the drivers on 5.8 mainline kernel and on 5.4 kernel lotuspsychje
[10:28] <lotuspsychje> croraf_: why are you on 5.8 mainline?
[10:29] <Sakara> Is there an irc channel for discussion microk8s?
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> !alis | Sakara
[10:32] <Sakara> No channels for microk8s by the looks of things lotuspsychje. No worries I'll try debug it for myself for a while.
[10:32] <Sakara> Thanks for the tip though.
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: is it ubuntu related?
[10:33] <Sakara> Certainly https://microk8s.io/
[10:34] <Sakara> Well.. canonical related.. not ubuntu per se.
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-a-local-kubernetes-with-microk8s#1-overview
[10:35] <Sakara> Cluster is up and running I have a very specific problem related to ulimit's and su(1) when execute inside a pod.
[10:35] <Sakara> Container in this pod works fine in docker on RHEL but gives weird permission issues executing su(1) inside a pod under microk8s.
[10:39] <Exterminador> so, I have a remote VPS and it seems I need to reboot the server in order for it to accept my new SSH key as login method, since the combo username+password is disabled. is there any way to force the new SSH key to be available w/o rebooting?
[10:40] <Exterminador> at least, Scaleway says I need to reboot the machine
[10:40] <Exterminador> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[10:40] <xtao> OpenSSH certainly doesn't behave that way, it will just read any files on login attempts. unless they are using some weird SSH server
[10:41] <croraf_> lotuspsychje, because i was suggested to do that when debugging my microphone issue. I'm back on 5.4 now
[10:42] <croraf_> lotuspsychje, i try to install drivers through Additional Drivers UI, but i get the following https://pasteboard.co/JorzOLI.png
[10:43] <croraf_> before, when it was working I had the first driver in this list on the picture, the same I want to apply now
[10:43] <Exterminador> xtao: yeah, but I'm adding the SSH key via a wepanel
[10:43] <croraf_> lotuspsychje, https://pasteboard.co/JorAPIk.png
[10:48] <Exterminador> seems they have a way to upgrade the keys
[10:48] <Exterminador> I've logged in successfully
[11:00] <emOne> are there any pre-built images of ubuntu for arm?
[11:38] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:26] <tosaraja> why does apt list --upgradable say 37 packages, apt-check say 91 + 21 packages and finally log for unnattended-upgrades say nothing to upgrade (yes i have it enabled). Why does every tool say a different number? where do they come from?
[12:29] <tosaraja> ok, to answer a bit to myself... apt list contains "everything" that apt has been configured to look for, whereas unattended upgrades has its own configuration file. But apt-check is still a bit of a mystery
[13:12] <tacomaster> I am trying to figure out what I did wrong here. When I execute wine to run a windows application it trys to access /root/.wine/dosdevices/z:/home/chris/Downloads. I am not wanting to have to run wine as sudo or su. Can someone help me fix this?

[13:23] <rtyuio> hi
[13:23] <rtyuio> should we need to use private or public keys to connect to a ssh server from remote host ?
[13:24] <xtao> private on the client and public on the server
[13:28] <prappl93> rtyuio, the easiest way to guarantee that the proper keys are copied is to use the "ssh-copy-id" command to put the keys in the proper place
[13:29] <rtyuio> ok perfect thx
[13:34] <oxek> how do I install fd-find in ubuntu 18.04?
[13:34] <prappl93> oxek, sudo apt install fd-find
[13:37] <geosmile> my ubuntu 20.04lts hangs in the middle of random times. The keyboard is unresponsive. Mouse pointer moves, but is unresponsive. Happens once in 1-2 days. Any ideas on how to debug this?
[13:38] <oxek> prappl93: not in repos
[13:41] <coconut> !info fd-find bionic
[13:41] <coconut> !info fd-find focal
[13:47] <prappl93> oxek, my bad. Didn't catch the 18.04 part
[13:47] <oxek> Apparently, I can install it from github, but was warned before that I should not install stuff from outside ubuntu repos
[13:47] <oxek> I heard of some backports, but don't know if that works for this package
[13:49] <lotuspsychje> geosmile: try to catch errors in realtime with: journalctl -f
[13:57] <falavic> diskin, do you know any method that allows me resinstall the drivers of the kb
[13:58] <falavic> ^ ignore that
[14:33] <geosmile> lotuspsychje, how? The problem is - i cant ssh into the system
[14:34] <lotuspsychje> geosmile: yeah to fix a system you need access
[15:39] <falavic> diskin, hey man, i think i found out what the issue was. i'm guessing a key was jammed when i was cleaning the kb.
[15:40] <xtao> so the advice that it's a hardware fault and you should try cleaning it again was correct then
[15:41] <falavic> diskin, i popped also those keys which on pressing didn't print any printable character, and i put back only alt & tab and it's working
[15:41] <falavic> xtao, yeah, seems so :)
[16:19] <xCf> anyone want to share their favourite ubuntu site besides the official one and their flavour one?
[16:23] <rapidwave> Why isn't libvncserver1 available to install? It's a dependency that keeps failing.
[16:29] <oxek> rapidwave: what is it a dependency of?
[16:29] <oxek> it should be available to install
[16:43] <rapidwave> I found it. I had to add security.ubuntu.com to sources.list
[16:44] <rapidwave> The maker of the VM has it only using archive.ubuntu.com
[16:44] <rapidwave> Thanks
[16:49] <diskin> falavic, good to hear! Linux is not guilty! :)
[16:51] <rana_ans> after I enter my password, raspberry pi shows "Xsession: unable to create X session log/error file; aborting."
[16:59] <Maik> rana_ans: this is Ubuntu support, not raspberry pi. And  a little more info is needed about what you did or want to do...
[16:59] <Maik> if you try to install ubuntu that is.
[17:00] <rana_ans> Maik: I asked there as well
[17:01] <Maik> ah, you get help in #raspberrypi already i see. Nice. :)
[17:01] <rana_ans> ty!
[17:24] <ckb> hi friends, I'm having issues trying to get authorized_keys working. sshd_config has PubkeyAuth on and I have a list of 4 keys in the file. I've checked permissions, I have 700 on .ssh and 600 on authorized_keys
[17:29] <oxek> ckb: assuming you meant 'PubkeyAuthentication yes' then it all sounds ok so far
[17:30] <ckb> oxek: still prompting me for the password, and yes I did mean that
[17:31] <oxek> ckb: if you run 'ssh -v', does it show you it tries pubkeyauthn?
[17:31] <ckb> I know what you're going to say, but does it matter I'm trying to use root?
[17:31] <ckb> on the server? or on the client?
[17:31] <oxek> on the client, connect with 'ssh -v TARGET_HOST'
[17:32] <oxek> on the server, if you're trying to login as root, then check the location of .ssh and authorized_keys, so that they are in /root/
[17:32] <oxek> and that you have 'PermitRootLogin yes' in sshd_config
[17:33] <ckb> debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
[17:33] <ckb> I'm already logged in as root, so yes
[17:34] <ckb> it's not trying to use id_rsa as my private key
[17:34] <ckb> Oh, I'm sorry it is using id_rsa
[17:35] <ikonia> don't do it as root
[17:35] <ikonia> and I suspect it will work
[17:35] <ikonia> root login is disabled by default
[17:35] <ckb> I can use the root password to login.
[17:36] <ckb> 'PermitRootLogin yes' and 'PubkeyAuthentication yes'
[17:36] <oxek> ckb: it should work. At this point, probably best if you paste somewhere the connection log (ssh -v) and sshd_config and other configs
[17:37] <ikonia> that does the auth log show
[17:37] <oxek> redact whatever you find problematic
[17:38] <ckb> SOMEHOW /root was owned by www-data
[17:39] <ikonia> I'd rebuild that box
[17:39] <ikonia> wouldn't be trusting that
[17:39] <ckb> it's brand new
[17:39] <ikonia> nope
[17:39] <ckb> I launched it yesterday
[17:39] <ikonia> someone's done something
[17:39] <ikonia> that's not a box I'd trust
[17:45] <oxek> agreed, that box likely has messed up permissions in other places too
[17:48] <SpeakerToMeat> Question, can 20.04 be booted, installed and used on a bios machine?
[17:49] <Maik> SpeakerToMeat: of course.
[17:49] <SpeakerToMeat> Oh thanks
[17:49] <Maik> is it a 64 bit machine?
[17:49] <SpeakerToMeat> I'll search for a way to double check the boot sector ont he pen drive but I have no reason to know it's broken.
[17:49] <SpeakerToMeat> Maik, I think it is...
[17:49] <SpeakerToMeat> hmmm
[17:50] <Maik> just asking because Ubuntu stopped releasing 32 bit iso's since 19.10 iirc
[17:51] <Maik> so it's 64 bit iso only
[17:51] <oxek> Maik: there are plenty of 64bit machines that don't have UEFI
[17:51] <SpeakerToMeat> but the syslinux should show up?
[17:51] <Maik> oxek: i know, have one myself
[17:54] <Sna4x8> I'm having a hard time getting my speakers to auto-mute when I plug in a set of headphones.  I see a lot of stuff online about enabling Auto-Mute in alsamixer, but I don't have that option.  I've tried playing around with some of the configuration in  /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.
[17:58] <SpeakerToMeat> Ok it's a 64 bit it seems, Atom 330
[17:59] <SpeakerToMeat> The pen drive silently doesn't boot.
[17:59] <SpeakerToMeat> And my work pen drive just says boot error.. sigh it's a hard machine
[17:59] <SpeakerToMeat> I need to find the mobo code and check
[18:00] <SpeakerToMeat> I wonder if there's any way to check if the syslinux on the boot sector of the usb drive is ok
[18:01] <ckb> "Package 'python-virtualenv' has no installation candidate" but apt-get install gives me "python3-virtualenv is already the newest version (20.0.17-1)."
[18:04] <SpeakerToMeat> Is the moethod of DDing the iso to a pen drive gone? I liked that method
[18:05] <SpeakerToMeat> Ok it seems it should work.
[18:09] <oxek> SpeakerToMeat: the ubuntu ISOs are hybrid, so dd should work
[18:09] <SpeakerToMeat> Yeah
[18:10] <SpeakerToMeat> I'll try that, this pen drive was set up as a little tortuous route to create a live with persistent layer out of the install iso
[18:10] <SpeakerToMeat> maybe that effed it up
[18:10] <oxek> ckb: python-virutalenv is a virtual package in 20.04
[18:10] <ckb> oxek, I figured it out :)
[18:13] <xCf> Can someone explain to me how i set up grsync to backup ~/ every week?
[18:23] <kinghat> im trying to write a file system to a partition but it wont let me, its either mounted or unmounted but in use by the system. even after a reboot 🤷‍♂️
[18:23] <pavlos> xCf: does it have to be grsync? I have a cron job using just rsync -avz /home/user /tmp/back
[18:23] <kinghat> do you always have to reboot when partitioning/creating a fs on a drive?
[18:24] <xCf> xcf: I think grsync can do the same, but what is a cron job? :O
[18:24] <pavlos> xCf: cron is a scheduler that allows you to run jobs
[18:25] <xCf> pavlos: would you mind explaining me how to set it up?
[18:26] <pavlos> xCf: probably you have a /etc/cron.weekly dir, any script in there is executed weekly
[18:29] <pavlos> xCf: create a script, myback in there (you need sudo) and the one line in the script is "rsync -avz /home/user /tmp/myback" (adjust user for your username
[18:29] <xCf> allright, thanks
[18:29] <pavlos> xCf: make the script executable ... every week that script will run syncing your home dir with /tmp/mybak
[18:30] <pavlos> xCf: there is also /etc/cron.daily/ if you prefer to backup every day
[18:33] <cammera> Hey, for a ryzon 3 3200 I want to get 18.4 right?
[18:33] <cammera> I see a lot of topics about people having issues, but all before this year
[18:33] <cammera> So I dunno if that's solved now
[18:34] <lotuspsychje> cammera: try a liveusb with an ubuntu release first and see how the kernel reacts on your system
[18:37] <xCf> when i open disks i cannot do anything because it is "locked". How can i manage that? Or maybe i should get another app? I need to shrink my ext3 system with linux / and add another partition if possible
[18:38] <cammera> Make backups if you have't yet, if you're going to resize a partition
[18:38] <xCf> I have a backup.. Just need to reboot. later
[18:43] <SpeakerToMeat> Yuppers a plain old iso to pen drive worked
[18:43] <SpeakerToMeat> Poor machine
[18:43] <SpeakerToMeat> Let's see how lubuntu 20.04 fares on an Atom 330 desktop with 1GB ram
[18:45] <lotuspsychje> SpeakerToMeat: pretty well, i revived an old acer netbook with 2GB lately with 20.04
[18:45] <SpeakerToMeat> lotuspsychje, My brain insisted on reading acer as "car" and I was deeply puzzled
[18:56] <xCf> why do I not have default: text editor in my default programs menu? Only images, email etc.?
[18:56] <lotuspsychje> xCf: wich ubuntu release are we talking about?
[19:11] <choice> Hello! I change the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf to 8.8.8.8 but Chromium and Firefox still use the one of my provider. Any ideas why?
[19:15] <pavlos> choice: what does systemd-resolve --status | grep DNS show?
[19:16] <choice> pavlos: The providers data.
[19:16] <tatertots> choice: use systemd-resolve to configure or set
[19:17] <choice> tatertots: It seems the provider hijacks DNS queries.
[19:17] <choice> tatertots: Even "dig sdkfsd8fw3rhsdf @8.8.8.8" returns the providers IP.
[19:17] <tatertots> choice: /etc/resolv.conf should have told you that in capital letters
[19:18] <tatertots> choice: are you chatting from the computer right now?
[19:18] <oerheks> how about setting DNS in your networkmanager?
[19:19] <pavlos> dig he.net @1.1.1.1 | grep SERVER should show 1.1.1.1
[19:20] <choice> pavlos: It does
[19:21] <pavlos> choice: Maybe, change your netplan to configure the upstream DNS
[19:22] <choice> pavlos: netplan?
[19:23] <oerheks> pavlos, i think networkmanager comes first
[19:27] <Intelo> I record raw videos lossless huge avi files in obs studio. What app can I use that gives me detailed control while compressing/producing a new video file from the source?

[21:01] <The_LoudSpeaker> Anyone worked with stylus in ubuntu? The Active pen I got with my laptop works differently on Ubuntu lock screen before logging in and after logging in. I want to use stylus independent of mouse and it does work like that before logging in. But changes once x is running. Once logged in, it controls the mouse pointer. Whereas before logging in, its like a plus sign. Independent of mouse. I would like to keep it that way even after
[21:01] <The_LoudSpeaker> logging in. here's an image of how it looks: https://imgur.com/V4n5yPK
[21:01] <The_LoudSpeaker> The device shows as Wacom HID 5218 pen stylus in xinput list

[21:34] <tacomaster> I am trying to delete an application from my application menu in gnome 3. I installed the program from lutris and it will not remove its self. I have already done a "sudo find / -name '*.desktop' > test.txt" and read the file but I am not seeing any files left that gnome can be reading from. I have also restarted and it made no changes.
[21:41] <tacomaster> ha nvm I figured it our by running "sudo grep -rnw / -e 'name'"
[21:51] <sarnold> tacomaster: cripes :) where the heck was it?
[21:52] <tacomaster> sarnold, it was in a .desktop file but it was not named with the program name. It was something like wine-something.chm.desktop
[21:53] <tacomaster> sarnold, I was being lazy and just did not open all of the .desktop files but once I found the grep command I was good to go
[22:10] <sarnold> tacomaster: aha, cool, thakns
[22:15] <selfy> Hello! I have a question about current process of building ubuntu cloud images. Maybe someone knows the answer... I want to understand how ubuntu team create cloud images? which toolchain are they use? Can I find somewhere CI/CD build scripts? I want to try to create my own cloud image from scratch (not from other cloud image)
[22:31] <ChelseaGM> Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu dual boot on my windows laptop, and I'm running into trouble. Could someone please help?
[22:32] <jeremy31> ChelseaGM: what problems?
[22:33] <sarnold> selfy: I know these tools are used for a lot of the regular images https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage
[22:34] <ChelseaGM> I copied the ubuntu image to a USB, booted to the USB, ran the installer, and restarted, but my laptop booted directly to windows. I tried disabling safe boot, and it still boots directly to windows
[22:35] <sarnold> ChelseaGM: you probably also have to disable window's "fast boot" thing; "shutdown" on windows these days means "suspend to disk"
[22:36] <ChelseaGM> I've also disabled fast boot
[22:37] <selfy> sarnold: thank you! I'll look at that
[22:43] <tomreyn> ChelseaGM: did you use the installer option to install side by side with windows, or something else?
[22:43] <ChelseaGM> Yes, install side by side with windows
[22:44] <tomreyn> are you booting windows in uefi mode?
[22:46] <ChelseaGM> Yes. My motherboard gives me two options, UEFI and legacy, I tried selecting "legacy" and it wouldn't boot at all, so I think I'm stuck with UEFI
[22:46] <tomreyn> do you have the ubuntu boot loader installed on the (U)EFI system partition now?
[22:47] <ChelseaGM> I'm not sure how to check what's in that partition
[22:47] <tomreyn> i.e. you should see EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi on it
[22:48] <tomreyn> it's just a FAT file system, shouldn't be difficult ot mount, unless windows makes it difficult on purpose
[22:49] <ChelseaGM> I'll try that
[22:50] <tomreyn> apparently they do make ti difficult: https://superuser.com/questions/965751/how-to-access-efi-partition-on-windows-10 - but this is more of a topic for ##windows
[22:53] <ChelseaGM> Yup, I just encountered that issue...
[22:57] <ChelseaGM> Ok, I see in my EFI partition there is an "ubuntu" folder, but the folder is empty
[22:58] <tomreyn> ChelseaGM: hmm, and there was no warning or error during installation?
[22:59] <ChelseaGM> Not that I saw, it seemed to complete successfully. Maybe windows deleted the file? Maybe there was an error on a screen that I missed?
[22:59] <tomreyn> you wouldn't have missed a grub installation error.
[22:59] <ChelseaGM> Yeah, I didn't see anything like that
[23:00] <tomreyn> windows would sometimes delete other boot loaders, but only during feature upgrades, i think
[23:00] <ChelseaGM> Oh nevermind, the folder isn't empty, windows explorer just wasn't showing the contents
[23:00] <ChelseaGM> shimx64.efi is there
[23:01] <tomreyn> which file size?
[23:01] <ChelseaGM> 1304 KB
[23:02] <tomreyn> this can be fine. check your 'bios' to see whether it has an option to manage boot loaders, and whether it lists ubuntu. there may also be a boot override menu, which lists ubuntu.
[23:03] <tomreyn> there are also bad uefi firmwares which were customized to only list windows boot loaders, ignoring everything else.
[23:04] <tomreyn> knowing which ubuntu version you installed, where you got the installer from, and which computer you have there may help.
[23:05] <ChelseaGM> I saw a boot priority menu that listed the Windows boot manager, hard disk, CD, etc., but nothing about Ubuntu. I got ubuntu version 20, burned it to a USB drive myself, and I have an Acer laptop
[23:06] <selfy> sarnold: at the first look ubuntu-cdimage are used only for building cd images =\
[23:06] <sarnold> selfy: dang :( sorry
[23:06] <tomreyn> !YY.MM | ChelseaGM
[23:07] <ChelseaGM> 20.04
[23:07] <tomreyn> ChelseaGM: try to identify your specific acer model, then search the web about it hiding linux or ubuntu boot loaders
[23:08] <ChelseaGM> Ok, I'll try that. Thank you
[23:08] <tomreyn> also, disabling secureboot may help
[23:14] <Bashing-om> ChelseaGM: Many Acer macjines must have "trust" set in the firmware - see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2330267 ; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1974392 ; https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2384706 .

[23:43] <tomreyn> kernel 3.19, build from 2015, nice

[23:52] <sarnold> tomreyn: heh, my laptop has 'ro' too
[23:52] <sarnold> tomreyn: the 3.19 is weird though, that would sound like the machine has been orphaned on an unsupported kernel for some reason
