Bashing-omClose Chrome. Open the file manager, press ctrl+H or show hidden files from menu, go to .local/share/keyrings, move the content to some backup place. Then logout and log back in. Open Chrome, there will be a pop up asking you to set a keyring password, leave it blank, confirm, then it shouldn't bother you anymore. If everything works, you can delete the backup you saved earlier.00:09

tacomasterI am trying to figure out what is going on here. I am running ubuntu 20.04 and when running "systemctl status" I get the status is degraded. When I just run "systemctl" I see that the service that is failing is vboxweb.service but I do not even have the vboxweb.service because it is stopped and virtualbox works. When running "journalctl -xe | grep vboxweb" I see vboxweb.service: Failed with result 'protocol'. Does anyone know how t00:50

baymanthanks. do I need to save?00:54
tacomasterbayman, that will save it00:54
sarnoldtacomaster: I can give it a look, anyway, but no promises, I've not used vbox in a dozen years or more00:54
tacomasterbayman, and for your information I got the answer from here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/ufw-essentials-common-firewall-rules-and-commands00:54
tacomastersarnold, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zJ7sBr64Ks/00:55
tacomastersarnold, I would not use vbox except I have 2 apps from my job that do not work correctly in wine.00:56
sarnoldtacomaster: hmm, curious; is there anything in dmesg? could you pastebin the output of systemctl cat vboxweb.service  ?00:58

amazoniantoadCan anyone help me figure out how to fix this issue?01:02
sarnoldtacomaster: hah that's simpler than I expected; I was expecting something like a ProtectSystem= directives... hmmm01:02
tacomastersarnold, stupid question but do you think it could be ufw blocking the ability to connect to a port?01:03
sarnoldtacomaster: probably not01:04
tacomastersarnold, nvm forget what I said. I just did an sudo ufw disable and still having the same issue01:04

amazoniantoadCan anyone help me with my issue? :/01:08
tacomastersarnold, I should have just looked at the man page. It was very descriptive01:08

sarnold:( :(01:19
tacomastersarnold, Is there a way to remove it as I will never use the web service?01:19
sarnoldtacomaster: heh that's another option :D systemctl disable vboxweb.service    ought to do the trick01:20
tacomastersarnold, Its already disabled and I am still having the warning message. I mean actually remove it01:20
sarnoldtacomaster: try systemctl mask vboxweb.service  ?01:21

chikkorollhi all =), Would someone please recommend a (recent/relevent) link to a page that details how to use logs in cli/bash to look for errors/problems- my pc tends to lock up at times and no combination of key presses will allow me to open shell/bash-i want to find out why but am not experienced in the area of inspecting logs(but id like to learn) thanks for help/links comments04:19
akemchikkoroll, The logs are in /var/log have a looks in kern.log thats the kernel or syslog, you can use the command 'grep' to search for strings inside of the files. Also the dmesg command can be handy to print some log infos.04:27

MzR_Masseyhow would someone mount 2 separate drives to a ubuntu 16.04.7 server?05:38
matsamanMzR_Massey: for what purpose05:42
MzR_Masseyfor storage, via FTP05:43
MzR_MasseyI have 3 drives total on my dedicated server, a Main  SSD 240GB, and two 1-TB HHD drives05:43
matsamanprobably you'd want to add an entry in /etc/fstab for it, similar to but not exactly matching the line you have for the '/' partition05:43
matsamanthat'll ensure it's mounted at boot, if done right; and without rebooting you can 'mount LABEL=whatever' to mount it, again if done right05:44
matsamanand then there are fancier things you can do to pretend they are one storage medium05:44
matsamanlike using mhddfs, or LVM, or a ton of other things05:44
MzR_Masseyhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mDF4vtwkgz/  this is what that file looks like05:47
matsamanMzR_Massey: okay so your root FS is using LVM05:48
MzR_MasseyOkay,  not entirely sure if that's a good thing or not05:50
matsamanit's what the installer defaulted to probably05:50
matsamanI don't use LVM, though, so I can't offer you personally acquired info.05:52
matsamanMzR_Massey: https://askubuntu.com/questions/458476/adding-disks-with-lvm05:52
matsamanthe traditional way would be to look at lsblk -f, find the device you're intersted in, make sure it's formatted the way you want (mkfs.ext4, etc.) and give it a label (e2label, etc.); then add a line like 'LABEL=whatever /mnt/whatever ext4 defaults 0 2'05:53
MzR_Masseythanks for that,  that link helps05:54
MzR_MasseyIf the drive is using LVM, would that be running on the system already?05:56
tatertotzMzR_Massey: you could actually look at see05:56

zetherooSo I updated the firmware on my mobile broadband device (EM7345) in Windows 10 and tested it in Ubuntu 18.04 and it worked like a charm. Back in Ubuntu 20.04 now and it's still not working09:59
zetheroohttps://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/SrY6pWT7FK/10:00
apwzetheroo, did you update the firmware on the device or just in windows; as it is most likely loaded on initialisation on all OSs10:00
zetherooapw: on the device. As I said, it's working perfectly in Ubuntu 18.0410:02
apwzetheroo, for clarity it was not working in 18.04 then you updated it in windows 10, and then it was in 18.04?10:03
zetherooIn the info I posted above you can also see the new FW version:    firmware revision: FIH7160_V1.2_WW_01.1616.0110:03
zetherooapw: no. It wasn't working in 20.04 and it was complaining that there was no SIM inserted when there was, then after a lot of digging around online it became apparent that I had to upgrade the FW on the module, so I did that in Windows (no other way). Then I tested it in 18.04 and it worked.10:05
zetherooNow in 20.04 and no dice - but at least it's no longer complaining about there being no SIM10:05
apwzetheroo, so we don't know if it made 18.04 work; it may have been working before too10:05
pikapikaIs there any way to disable unattended-upgrades without uninstalling it?10:06
zetherooapw: sure10:06
pikapika18.04 lts btw10:06
BluesKajHi all10:07
apwzetheroo, it is important to have accurate information.  sounds like you should file a bug against linux with this information; get a dmesg of it in the working state in 18.04 and non-working state in 20.0410:07
apwwith luck there will be a clue in the difference10:07
apwonce you ahve a bug filed, mention it in #ubuntu-kernel by number10:08
pikapikaHow do firmware upgrades on such obscure hardwares work?10:08
pikapikaDo they have like some proprietary cable or interface through which the software communicates with the device>10:08
zetherooapw: I just took it back out of the 18.04/Windows dualboot laptop and put it back in the 20.04 laptop ... so not moving it again :/10:09
pikapikaHow much did it cost?10:10
zetheroo pikapika: you asking me?10:12

apwzetheroo, as noone wants to touch these kinds of broadband interfaces (due to the regulatory risk) they are normally exposed over a serial style port as a modem so i predict a driver difference in the kernel.  but without logs it will be near impossible to diagnose10:24
zetherooapw: what kind of logs do you need?10:25
apwzetheroo, the ones i mentioned above as a minimum i would think10:25
apwwhich is why i asked about them, but if you can't get them, then life is difficult10:26
apwif switching is hard, then also the modem-manager logs too10:26
zetherooI mean I have the 18.04 laptop running right here as well10:27
apwyou might also want to checkw hcih kernel you are using in the 18.04 one which is working.  if it is the HWE kernel (at 5.4) then that likely means it is not a kernel issue and may point elsewhere10:27

Sbur3Anyone wanna tell me if Gforce GTX 1050 is a good video card or not?20:03
tatertotzthere's a #hardware chat room20:05
tatertotzSbur3: i wouldn't imagine a video card alone is ubuntu related20:05
LambdaComplexi suppose asking "will this card work fine with ubuntu?" is a reasonable question20:06
LambdaComplex(but that's a super new nvidia card so i'm guessing the answer is "yeah it works perfectly")20:07
Sbur3nick:tatertotz I know that. I have a GT210. I was just interested to know ... on #hardware, they mentioned the difference of compatibility between 210 and 1050.. I was interested experiençe20:08
Sbur3nvidia is still good at making video cards?20:09

Conjecture_Has 32bit support been discontinued on 20.04?20:14
sarnoldConjecture_: armhf is still available as a host in 20.04, but i386 as host was dropped https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes20:18
Conjecture_Oh, thanks20:18
tommy``can i do on crontab something like that: "@reboot python3 -m /home/user/cloudbot/cloudbot" ?20:26
EriC^^tommy``: yeah20:30
tommy``EriC^^: i have to do that as root?20:31
EriC^^no, you can do it as the user20:31
Sven_vBhow do I check if a given username oder uid is a system user?20:32
Sven_vB*or20:32
tommy``that means that every reboot it launch the script right? But it get launched after or before login to desktop?20:33
EriC^^before tommy``20:33
EriC^^Sven_vB: by system user you mean in the sudo group?20:33
tommy``so maybe couldn't work because internet no working, EriC^^20:34
EriC^^tommy``: you could add the program to the startup apps program20:34
EriC^^it would start after logging in20:34
tommy``ah, how?20:34
Sven_vBEriC^^, nope, more like whether I can expect programs to treat that account as non-human.20:35
tributarianDoes anyone know where the repo is for cloud-images? I think I found a bug with the vagrant images, but I want to make sure.20:35
EriC^^there should be a program called 'startup applications' somewhere in your DE programs menu20:35
EriC^^tommy``: ^20:35
Sven_vBEriC^^, I had some vague recollection that userids up to 999 were reserved for daemons, maintenance and such20:36
tommy``checking now20:36
EriC^^right Sven_vB20:37
Sven_vBfound it, grep _SYSTEM_UID /etc/adduser.conf¶ FIRST_SYSTEM_UID=100¶ LAST_SYSTEM_UID=99920:38
Sven_vBso now I have to find a way to teach focal's pulseaudio to not auto-start for system users. I could add a drop-in to /etc/systemd/user/default.target.wants/pulseaudio.service with a condition, but which? man 5 systemd.unit explicitly warns that ConditionUser= is not useful for system services.20:41
Sven_vBoh maybe that means just "systems in the system.slice"20:42
Sven_vB*services in20:42
Sven_vBI think I solved it. :)21:03
jeffrey_fTrying to clear a windows password.  Need to mount the windows drive as read/write. It only allows read only.21:10
sarnoldjeffrey_f: I think one common cause of that problem is that hte windows machine that it was one didn't shut down, so the filesystem isn't in a consistent state21:11
sarnoldjeffrey_f: on windows these days 'shutdown' is more like a 'suspend', there's some way to turn that off; I think using the windows 'restart' option does that too, just once, which might be more convenient21:12
jeffrey_fhggdh: sarnold.  So, restart?21:13
sarnoldjeffrey_f: it's worth a try, anyway21:15

kamoricksHi, I'm trying to install software inside the docker image. I'm getting "Invalid cross-device link" when it's making backup links before installing new versions - is there a way to make these debs not do that, or do modify them such that they do `cp` instead of `ln`?21:22
sarnoldkamoricks: I'm not particularly versed in docker but that sounds a bit like you're holding it the wrong way around21:25
aroonithink i got it working via the command line; luckily there are many ways to do things on ubuntu21:33

Doc-SaintlyAny advice on how to get an integrated webcam working when nothing shows up in lspci, lsusb, or lshw?21:52
sarnoldtry different cables, plug it into other ports, flip power switches when it's attached vs before it's attached,,21:54
Doc-Saintlyactually, looking at dmesg I can see an AER on a pci device that's not being shown under LSPCI21:55
sarnoldohho21:55
kamorickssarnold: Sure. The actual issue is that metacopy on overlayfs is causing / and modified files to exist on different filesystems, since they exist on different layers, but the deb packaging for the nvidia drivers is blissfully unaware of this so tries to hardlink packages for backup. Overriding the first doesnt' really work, since it's just a conflux of everything working as intended.22:01

kamoricks(you'd have a similar issue installing nvidia drivers on any system where / and /usr exist on different fses, but this isn't common enough for nvidia to care, I guess)22:04
truexfan81is there a single commmand i can type to make sure apt removes all nvidia packages? i'm switching to amd tomorrow  ubuntu 20.0422:06
kinghatif you are manually mounting a drive vs fstab, do you need to specify the disks file system?22:13
kinghatcan you just sudo mount /dev/sdh1 /mnt/disk1/?22:13
kinghateven if the drive is NTFS?22:13
truexfan81as long as ntfs-3g is installed you mount it like any other drive, the kernel will figure out the rest22:15
truexfan81also i figured out that if you create a mount point for it in your home directory and mount it there, you get full rw privs so you don't have to sudo22:15
kinghat🤔22:16
truexfan81i have 3 ntfs drives, and i have fstab auto mounting them to mount points in my home directory22:16
truexfan81correction 422:17
kinghat$ mount /dev/sdh1 .temp-mount/22:18
kinghatmount: only root can do that22:18
kinghat~$*22:18
truexfan81what i did was create directories with the same letter as the windows drive letter so C,E,F,H and so /home/user/C  etc works perfectly22:19

conrwhat chmod does a file need it to be so all members of the user group can delete the file?22:33
BochaI'm here because I have a problem with ALSA and I wanted to know if someone can help me22:36
sarnoldBocha: irc works best with specific questions22:48
sarnoldconr: deleting a file depends upon *directory* permissions22:48
conrsarnold: ok what are the dir perms needed?22:49
sarnoldconr: read, write, and execute; eg 770, 775, etc22:49
conrwhich column is group? 1-2-3... 2?22:50
sarnoldyes, it goes owner, group, other22:52
conrso 770 thanks!22:54
