| Fenster` | hey guys, is anyone else seeing timeouts when trying to apt-get update to azure.archive.ubuntu.com ? | 00:10 |
| Maik | Fenster`: maybe it's related to the huge worldwide internet issue that took place and things aren't quite normal yet? | 00:14 |
| Maik | Fenster`: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/30/tech/internet-outage-cloudflare/index.html | 00:15 |
| bostongeek36 | ubuntu 20.04 doesnt run well on 1 gb of ram | 00:19 |
| bostongeek36 | thats what i have | 00:19 |
| bostongeek36 | so thats the issue | 00:19 |
| bostongeek36 | ill check out xubuntu | 00:19 |
| Maik | bostongeek36: told you already in the other channel that you need at least 2GB of RAM for a smooth LXDE or Xfce desktop environment. So forget about Xubuntu which uses Xfce. | 00:22 |
| Fenster` | thank Maik | 00:23 |
| Maik | yw | 00:23 |
| Maik | tatertots: he doesn't want to listen that 1GB just isn't sufficient enough for Lubuntu or Xubuntu. So expect him to come back complaining Xubuntu doesn't work smooth either. :) | 00:25 |

| robertparkerx | if I create a user and switch to the user will I be in that user home directory ? | 03:28 |
| Bashing-om | robertparkerx: Wheather a new user directory is created depends on the command you invoked to make that new user account. see: ' man adduser ' . | 03:32 |
| robertparkerx | Bashing-om ty | 03:37 |
| robertparkerx | $ sudo adduser test -- this wouldn't ? | 03:38 |
| Bashing-om | robertparkerx: Uh Huh ^^ that will give "test" a /home :D | 03:40 |
| robertparkerx | Nice | 03:41 |
| robertparkerx | if I `su test` will I be in the home directory ? | 03:41 |
| robertparkerx | for test* | 03:41 |
| Bashing-om | robertparkerx: no - that permits you to execute a command as another user than "you" . | 03:44 |
| robertparkerx | Bashing-om so I would have to cd /home/test | 03:49 |
| Bashing-om | robertparkerx: Generally one reboots - and at the login screen choose the alternate user to login. | 03:50 |
| robertparkerx | Bashing-om it's ubuntu server | 04:04 |
| Bashing-om | robertparkerx: then at the login terminal give the new user "name" and the related password to login as that new user. | 04:07 |
| robertparkerx | Bashing-om I want passwordless user because it will just run a service | 04:09 |

| Paddy_NI | I switched from gdm to sddm for my login greeter as the login prompt appears on a display that is not my primary display. One of the problems I have encountered (running Ubuntu 20.04) is that I now no longer have the ability to lock the screen. Would anyone have any solutions for this? | 09:41 |
| guiverc | Paddy_NI, you could try xscreensaver; lubuntu uses it to handle locking | 09:57 |
| Paddy_NI | guiverc, Oh that rings a bell! Thank you I will give that a go. | 09:57 |
| guiverc | you cam have xscreensaver just turn off screen, ie. nothing visible | 09:58 |
| Paddy_NI | guiverc, I've just done that and it works really well. It would be a bonus if it locked the screen too | 10:10 |
| Paddy_NI | I guess I am trying to patch together functionality that I was previously getting with GDM lol | 10:11 |
| Paddy_NI | It's a shame that GDM did not let you dictate which display(s) it appeared on. | 10:11 |
| guiverc | In my screensaver preferences I can set "lock screen after"; did you look in preferences for settings? | 10:12 |
| Paddy_NI | I did guiverc however it only blanks the screen. If I come back to it whilst it is blanked out and activate the mouse/keyboard etc it just goes straight back to the desktop without hesitation. | 10:13 |
| Paddy_NI | My only option at the moment if I want security would be to turn the pc off | 10:14 |
| guiverc | you don't have autologin enabled do you? | 10:14 |
| Paddy_NI | Never | 10:14 |
| Paddy_NI | If I choose to logout it just sits there displaying the sddm greeter indefinitely. I cannot imagine this being good for energy consumption or the health of a display :-/ | 10:15 |
| guiverc | you may need to set `-lock` on initial run.. ie. autostart option that starts it, maybe this will help | 10:15 |
| guiverc | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XScreenSaver | 10:15 |
| guiverc | hold on, looking to see if my system has easy to see options.. | 10:16 |
| Paddy_NI | I keep forgetting the arch wiki like some kind of idiot. Thank you :-) | 10:16 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 10:16 |
| Paddy_NI | Hey BluesKaj | 10:16 |
| BluesKaj | hey Paddy_NI | 10:16 |
| guiverc | Paddy_NI, sorry I can't use mine as example; my system was lubuntu with LXDE upgraded to now groovy, and still has LXDE crud remaining I just discovered; it's still using light-locker (another option maybe) | 10:18 |
| guiverc | I'd have to boot a cleaner lubuntu system to explore options, can't currently sorry Paddy_NI | 10:19 |
| Paddy_NI | guiverc, I have an idea that would make me happy, I just confirmed that "xscreensaver-command -lock" locks the screen and displays a password prompt (not very pretty but kinda retro) so if I was to set "super key + L" as "xscreensaver-command -lock" that would be awesome | 10:19 |
| Paddy_NI | guiverc, Honestly don't worry too much about it, I am just grateful for any solution | 10:19 |
| Paddy_NI | Thank you | 10:19 |
| guiverc | yeah I agree I too am no fan of how xscreensaver lock works; I'd forgotten as I guess I'm usually seeing light-locker | 10:20 |
| Acru | Hey, my mother is having problems with her notebook (thinkpad e485) where the network printer, an officejet pro 6800, keeps getting deactivated and has to be reactivated manually, does somebody know why this might be? | 10:20 |
| Paddy_NI | It won't accept "super +L" however it did accept "ctrl + alt + L" | 10:21 |
| lotuspsychje | Acru: wich ubuntu release was this? | 10:21 |
| guiverc | s/xscreensaver works/xscreensaver lock looks/ ^ sorry | 10:21 |
| Paddy_NI | I think I can mark this a solved for now, I just need to punch that key combo when I get up from the desk. | 10:22 |
| Acru | lotuspsychje: 18.04 | 10:23 |
| Acru | and its a e585, sorry | 10:23 |
| Paddy_NI | It would be nice if I could customise the lock screen password prompt for xscreensaver although I really should learn when to stop and just get on with it | 10:23 |
| guiverc | Paddy_NI, as stated; my/this box uses light-locker; so that could be an alterantive (it'll look different) | 10:26 |
| Paddy_NI | I am reading up on that as we speak :-) | 10:26 |
| guiverc | maybe I was wrong, I just locked my screen, on login I got xscreensaver login for passwd... maybe light-locker won't help; that maybe wild goose chase | 10:28 |
| Paddy_NI | Does light-locker require LightDM and if so does LightDM display the login greeter on each monitor or does it let you choose which display it appears on | 10:28 |
| Paddy_NI | Ah | 10:28 |
| Paddy_NI | Cool | 10:28 |
| Paddy_NI | lightdm lets you specify which display it appears on according to the arch wiki | 10:29 |
| guiverc | Paddy_NI, I don't know, as stated; this is my primary box which was older lubuntu (lxde) upgraded to each 6 months now groovy; lxde to lxqt isn't supported b/c crud & issues can remain... so my having light-locker is likely crud; and I do have lightdm installs (I use sddm; i didn't know I had lightdm either) | 10:31 |
| guiverc | (sorry for wording, I'm tired) | 10:31 |
| Paddy_NI | Yeah no worries at all this does look to be a bit of a Rabbit hole, I shall persevere with "xscreensaver-command -lock" being mapped to "ctrl + alt + l" until these issues are addressed. | 10:32 |
| Paddy_NI | Thank you | 10:32 |

| daftjack | Ubuntu 18, KDE plasma. "Activity in session "Default"" keeps popping up every 5-30 seconds. I did nothing.

| daftjack | It interrupts typing, mouse movement etc. Making it nigh impossible to work. LOL | 14:41 |
| ledeni | neure: which iso you put on your usb and did you checksum iso | 14:41 |
| neure | 20.04.1 and I created it with Etcher, I believe it does checksum | 14:42 |
| iguest | daftjack@ You must have inadvertently pressed Shift + ctrl + I. Press it again to switch it off. | 14:43 |
| daftjack | Think I found it. For some reason the system just decided on its own to enable notifications about activity in a hidden session so if you tail a damn log in a tab it constantly pops this up. Fine except *I* didnt turn this on. | 14:43 |
| daftjack | No I pressed that on purpose for use inside an application. wow. Time to remap that. | 14:43 |
| daftjack | But Ive been using said app for months. | 14:44 |

| daftjack | Ah so its an embedded shortcut inside kconsole it seems. Must have had mouse over the window. No way to apparently disable the shortcut as none are shown. Nor are they in notifications. Annoying. Have to remembe that. Thanks iquest. | 14:54 |
| daftjack | Oddly enmough I can enable it with the shortcut but not disable. Have to do so manually in the notifications dialog. | 14:56 |
| Doc-Saintly | On my Lenovo laptop where the function keys are always switched in media mode instead of F# key mode, I noticed that when I remote into the machine and press F1 on a regular keyboard (so it's really F1) it comes through on the machine as a media key still. | 15:13 |
| Doc-Saintly | I assume this means That somewhere in the software side it is converting the F# keys to the media functions. How would I figure out where? | 15:14 |
| hansh | is anyone here running Desktop Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04? can you run > update-alternatives --get-selections | pastebinit | 15:14 |
| oerheks | hansh, why? i am not giving away my config. | 15:15 |
| hansh | oerheks, i want to know if any of those are pointing to "nautilus", and if so, what's their config name? | 15:16 |
| hansh | what about: update-alternatives --get-selections | grep -i nautilus | wc -l | 15:16 |
| oerheks | no. you try; update-alternatives --config file-manager | 15:17 |
| hansh | update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for file-manager | 15:18 |

| bubls | Hello! I have ran into a problem with Ubuntu 18.04. After every ~1.5 seconds there is a video lag for ~0.1-0.2 seconds (if I make circles with my mouse or watch any videos, I can see screen freeze / lag). My GPU is GTX1660, so I downgraded from 440 driver to 390 driver, I tried to sync with monitor from Nvidia settings, my kernel is 5.4.0-42-generic - any ideas on what else I could try? | 15:21 |
| bubls | dmesg -T and journalctl -b seem clean to me. | 15:22 |
| lotus|NUC | bubls: there is a recent known mutter bug in combo with nvidia, but not sure that would be related to video lags | 15:24 |
| bubls | Oh, okay. I was on 20.04 before and didn't see such lag there. | 15:25 |
| bubls | BTW, if it helps anyhow - sound is not lagging, so it's not a full system problem, more like just video. I also disabled gnome-system-monitor. . . Thinking about it, maybe I should try to switch to Unity etc? | 15:26 |
| oerheks | hansh i think this command needs sudo | 15:27 |
| hansh | root@dev2020:/home/hans# sudo update-alternatives --config file-manager | 15:27 |
| hansh | update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for file-manager | 15:27 |
| oerheks | so, you have only nautilus? | 15:28 |
| hansh | no, i have Thunar, Xubuntu use "Thunar" instead of "Nautilus" | 15:28 |
| lotus|NUC | bubls: has your nvidia driver loaded correctly? sudo lshw -C video ? | 15:28 |
| ioria | hansh, are you sure you can use 'update-alternatives' with file managers ? | 15:29 |
| bubls | lotus|NUC, VGA comatible controller, NVIDIA corporation, driver=nvidia latency=0 | 15:29 |
| hansh | ioria, no i'm not sure. i thought a good way to check was to check for references to "nautilus" from "update-alternatives --get-selections" - but so far nobody's been willing to try it, and i don't have access to a desktop ubuntu system myself, but at least on Xubuntu there's no references there to Thunar | 15:30 |
| bubls | Hmm, but it seems I'm running on 435 instead, not 390 | 15:31 |
| hansh | how can i check programmatically what the local file manager is called? (eg nautilus on Ubuntu or thunar on Xubuntu) | 15:31 |
| ioria | hansh, i'd try to use xdg-mime and gsettings | 15:31 |

| en1gma | what is your gpu? | 16:39 |
| bubls | en1gma, safest way would be to restart if you are running the live image from USB and it has some room to save the changes. | 16:39 |
| bubls | en1gma, GTX 1660 | 16:39 |
| en1gma | i think my glxgears is capped at 60fps | 16:39 |

| bubls | en1gma, wait what. 375/5 = 75 - where did it get that 187? : O | 16:41 |
| bubls | (from my paste) | 16:41 |
| en1gma | :) | 16:41 |
| bubls | Well. en1gma software-properties-gtk - from there select nvidia drivers, then ' sudo ubuntu-drivers devices' and check that nvidia is selected, also please paste your nvidia driver version. | 16:43 |

| Doc-Saintly | Is there a way to make it so a directory only exists if something is mounted to it? I'm having an issue with a sync application that assumes all files has been deleted because the directory is empty if it's not mounted. | 18:35 |
| gildarts | If the folder isn't there when it is unmounted, wouldn't the sync application assume the entire folder was deleted? | 18:36 |
| Doc-Saintly | gildarts, well, it's the "root" of the share, so it's smart enough to realize then that the thing it's supposed to sync doesn't exist. | 18:37 |
| Doc-Saintly | but if it exists but is empty, then it assumes all the files have been deleted | 18:37 |
| gildarts | What sync utility is it and how it is it being run? Thinking it might make sense to wrap it in a shell script to check if it is mounted before running the sync. Don't know of a way to make the folder only exist when something is mounted. | 18:38 |
| Doc-Saintly | gildarts, it's the Nextcloud sync client. | 18:39 |
| Doc-Saintly | And yea, I thought about that - but I am still nervous about accidentally launching the sync application when things aren't "all set up" | 18:39 |
| oerheks | simpel; don't autostart nextcloud? | 18:39 |
| Doc-Saintly | of course, but I'm talking about the whole human "forgetting" thing :) | 18:39 |
| Doc-Saintly | because even if I set up the start-up script, what about a restart? the mount point would still exist | 18:40 |
| Doc-Saintly | I can't guarantee that the mount point would be removed unless there's some built in thing I can't think of | 18:40 |
| gildarts | Make the nextcloud sync client depend on a systemd unit mounting the share? | 18:40 |
| ikonia | why not just put the drive in fstab | 18:43 |
| ikonia | or use autom ount | 18:43 |
| ikonia | so it's always mounted | 18:43 |
| ikonia | or start the sync manually if/when the drive in mounted | 18:43 |
| Doc-Saintly | ikonia, because it's an encrypted volume that needs a password | 18:44 |
| oerheks | just don't autostart that cloud thingy.. seems like a non-issue to me | 18:44 |
| ikonia | then why are you syncing data this way | 18:44 |
| ikonia | you''re using a model that depends on a file system to keep in sync, but using a system where the file system will not be there | 18:44 |
| gildarts | encrypted volume... nextcloud sync... that seems pointless. | 18:45 |
| ikonia | indeed | 18:45 |
| Doc-Saintly | yes... why would I want to have a local copy of all my data | 18:45 |
| Doc-Saintly | in case you know... I don't have internet.. | 18:45 |
| Doc-Saintly | .and why would I want to encrypt all my of my data sitting on a portable drive. how silly. | 18:45 |
| gildarts | Keeping something that is auto syncing on an external drive seems not great either. | 18:46 |
| Doc-Saintly | gildarts, well on Windows, it doesn't sync because it can see the drive isn't mounted | 18:46 |
| Doc-Saintly | but on Linux, the nature of mounting the drive leaves the directory there but empty. | 18:46 |
| Doc-Saintly | honestly it doesn't sync all the time, but just when I plug it in to grab a big file quickly, or when I plug it in to prep for a trip somewher with limited internet | 18:47 |
| Doc-Saintly | personally I think the Nextcloud client should give some sort of warning before dumping all the files if it sees an empty directory - it should be able to see that it's mounted. But I'm chasing that up with them separately :) | 18:48 |
| xtao | syncthing uses a folder marker to prevent that. if an empty .stfolder directory doesn't exist then it will refuse to do anything with it | 18:49 |
| Doc-Saintly | xtao, and Backblaze also uses a .bzvol directory for storing some drive data (like the cache for the drive) | 18:50 |
| Doc-Saintly | I just felt like this can't be the only case where the mount point being present without the target being available is problematic - so I was hoping there might be a more automatic fix. :) | 18:51 |
| Doc-Saintly | Thanks for the feedback all :) | 18:51 |
| ikonia | there are lots of automatic fixes | 18:51 |
| Doc-Saintly | ikonia, ooh, do tell :D | 18:52 |
| ikonia | putting dependencies on the automounter for the startup of the sync client, putting an inotify flag into the file system that triggers the sync, | 18:53 |
| ikonia | setting up a better way to unlock the drive so that it doesn't require human interaction | 18:53 |
| Doc-Saintly | ikonia, yes I've considered getting Veracrypt to auto mount from the LUKS encryption on the main drive | 18:54 |
| === meow is now known as jess | ||
| Doc-Saintly | is it just me, or is `crypttab` not really much different than putting my password in a script file that mounts things? Both are storing the password in plaintext and presume that it can't be accessed (because it's encrypted) | 19:12 |
| oerheks | password in a script file, will be accessable. | 19:15 |
| Doc-Saintly | oerheks, wont the crypttab file as well? | 19:58 |
| gildarts | If you have your system encrypted, it prevents offline access. Still have the problem of someone taking the machine while you are logged in, but it helps minimize it. | 20:02 |
| gildarts | And if someone can take the machine from you while logged in, you have the wrench problem. | 20:03 |
| gildarts | (wrench problem https://xkcd.com/538/ ) | 20:03 |
| Doc-Saintly | yep of course. but couldn't they view /crypttab the same way they could view the script? Or it defaults to needing sudo access? | 20:07 |
| gildarts | You can check the read permissions using ls -la /crypttab | 20:09 |
| gildarts | Don't know enough about crypttab to tell you. | 20:09 |
| Doc-Saintly | ah, I assume it wasn't automatically created and didn't trust myself enough to create it properly XD | 20:11 |
| Doc-Saintly | thanks. checking | 20:11 |
| Doc-Saintly | yea, I can tail it without sudo, so it wouldn't need a password either to get it from that file either | 20:11 |
| arooni | anyone having trouble with getting ubuntu 20.04 to resume? it seemed to move the mouse around fine and i got the login screen but when i entered the password i just was presented with a purple screen afterward. lenovo t420 with 12gb of ram and a decent amount of swap storage/ssd. | 20:14 |
| gildarts | Just my two cents, but if someone has enough access to your computer to be reading that file, you are already screwed pretty thoroughly. Just encrypt your root volume and don't leave your machine sitting around random places. | 20:15 |
| Doc-Saintly | gildarts, yea, the main thing I want to protect against is forgetting either device somewhere, and someone grabbing them and being able to see all the files on them. | 20:30 |
| Doc-Saintly | again thanks. Another question - does anyone have a recommendation for a shell script crash course geared towards a developer? The first article I pulled up wants to explain to me what scripting is :) | 20:33 |
| sarnold | Doc-Saintly: it's not quite a 'course' but this is amazing resource https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ | 20:34 |

| dex1983 | hi | 21:11 |
| dex1983 | Could someone help me with a script which does the following: rename subfolders like the parent folder like: folder1 --> subfolder1, folder2 --> subfolder2, to folder1 --> folder1 - subfolder1, folder2 --> folder2 - subfolder2 | 21:11 |

| rypervenche | dex1983: A simple for loop would probably work for that. Assuming you only have one subfolder in each folder. | 22:08 |

| squidgy | hi, i'm trying to use ubuntu to boot memtest on a uefi system... made it to grub, but there is no memtest listed?.... ubuntu desktop 20.04 | 22:31 |
| sarnold | squidgy: correct, the memtest authors don't make uefi variant available as free software | 22:32 |
| sarnold | squidgy: you can apparently download it from their website for free | 22:32 |
| sarnold | squidgy: you could probably also configure your system to boot legacy / csm -- normally a bad idea, but I think the boot menu would then show you the way to run memtest | 22:33 |
| sarnold | just be sure to set it back to uefi when you're done | 22:33 |
| squidgy | its an x-serve | 22:33 |
| squidgy | so no legacy built in | 22:33 |
| squidgy | it didn't recognize the memtest iso on disc | 22:33 |
| sarnold | https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm aha. here's where you can grab the uefi version | 22:34 |
| squidgy | sarnold that version doesn't even show as a boot option | 22:38 |
| sarnold | squidgy: ugh :/ I'm not currentl in a position to give it a test myself, sorry :( | 22:38 |
| pavlos | dex1983: so you want .../folder1/subfolder1 to become .../folder1/folder1/subfolder1 ? | 22:39 |
| squidgy | sarnold wait i downloaded the v4, trying the v8 now | 22:39 |
| sarnold | squidgy: aha :) that'll do it | 22:40 |
| elPuma | I am trying to upgrade from 19.04 to 20.04 LTS and in looking up how to do so, I noticed that most information/guides apply to upgrading from 18.04-->20.04, or from 16.04-->20.04, but I couldn't find anything about going from 19.04-->20.04. Would this be because 19.04 is no longer maintained? And, in general, can upgrades only be done from LTS | 23:03 |
| elPuma | versions or versions that are still being maintained? | 23:03 |
| Bashing-om | elPuma: 19.04 is long end 0f life - there is an alternate path to upgrade. | 23:08 |
| Bashing-om | !eol | elPuma | 23:08 |
| ubottu | elPuma: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 23:08 |
| Bashing-om | !19.04 | 23:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) was the 30th release of Ubuntu, support ended January 2020. see !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-January/005263.html | 23:09 |

| elPuma | Bashing-om thanks. It's always nice to find out that some procedure/event/phenomenon has an established term. Know I know that EOL is a thing | 23:26 |
| elPuma | *now I know | 23:26 |
| oft_gegong | so CS:GO crashes when I have my controller plugged in and start CS:GO. But if I leave it unplugged at first and then plug it in when the game boots up, CS:GO acknowledges the controller fine. This is all through Steam. | 23:26 |
| Bashing-om | elPuma: A day in ubuntu I do not learn "something new" is a day wasted :P | 23:26 |
| squidgy | sarnold booting it now... ;) thanks. sometimes i just need a kick. | 23:27 |
| sarnold | squidgy: me too | 23:27 |
| sarnold | squidgy: I've been meaning to replace my router/wifi at home for years now.. and my outgoing director gave me that kick friday afternoon :) "go do it!" .. I didn't actually get the thing done, but it felt good to start :) | 23:28 |
| squidgy | sarnold same thing here recently... went with aruba | 23:29 |
| sarnold | squidgy: oh nice :) I bought a bunch of ubnt gear, which always looks so promising, but was actually kinda frustrating to work with last week.. heh. | 23:31 |
| elPuma | The irony is that I was apprehensive to make the switch to 20.04 because I always like to wait a bit and see if any major bugs are discovered that I should be aware of before making committing to a big change. Guess I waited too long and forgot, lol. | 23:35 |
| sarnold | elPuma: it might be best to stick on the LTS releases in the future, you'll be prompted at reasonable times to upgade to future releases :) | 23:35 |
| elPuma | sarnold I figured as much, since now I know that non-LTS versions are like testing grounds for features that are to be added to the LTS versions | 23:36 |
| nelson777 | Hello all, has anyone successfully created a vm with vagrant's ubuntu/focal64 image and static IP ? I've followed several instruction in the web and the vm just hangs. | 23:36 |
| nelson777 | described the problem in detail here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1271658/vagrant-static-ip-problems-in-ubuntu-focal64 | 23:37 |
| sarnold | nelson777: I've added a handful of small questions to a comment | 23:40 |
| nelson777 | sarnold answered | 23:52 |
| sarnold | nelson777: hmm, I was sort of hoping it'd reply to ping, I'm not sure where to go next. Are there any logs from vbox? | 23:55 |
| nelson777 | I could get help in #vagrant. A user pointed me to another image (bento/ubuntu-20.04) and it worked flawlessly. How come the main image is so broken I can't even set a static IP :/ | 23:58 |
