magic_ninja@tomreyn, thanks a lot04:02
magic_ninjaWhat I'm looking at is a USB receiver. Particularly the Logitech Unifying receiver. I'm trying to see how the kernel sees this kind of device. I see the receiver, and the attached keyboard and mouse.04:04
b100shi2all; sorry for asking it once more; just in case, does anyone know how to get a version of software inside a ubuntu package since package version and soft version my differ?04:30

guivercb100s, apt, dpkg & package tools work with package versions.. the package version is set by the packager (builder of the package).  tools can peek inside, but they'll only provide what packager put there.  packagers can choose whichever standard they like to an extent (to get it into a Ubuntu repos the versioning will need to make sense), but what you're asking is a link between two very different things04:57
b100sguiverc, thank you! Do you think it is a reasonable thing to check before install package?05:01
guivercprobably obvious, but package maintainers do try & have package version make sense.. as much as is possible (they have to comply with distro release systems too!). If you want to know, use cli tools to query package to packages.ubuntu.com; you'll find links to changelogs & a ton of other info05:03
guivercme, I don't see the need to check; but your reasons may differ to mine05:04
* guiverc clarifies, I was answering for my own needs, if working in corporate/enterprise environment I follow policies which are usually stricter and my answer would likely be different\05:05
daregapHey, so I just updated ubuntu manually via terminal by using "apt update" and "apt upgrade". I noticed that during the latter command it built initramfs image 3 times. Is this planned this way? Shouldn't the update-initramfs only run once at the end of the update process?05:08
b100sguiverc, what I want to say is - we install a package not because of package but because of a software in it. In most cases we do not care about version, so lates one is ok. In some cases we need some specific version. What would you recommend in such case?05:08
lotuspsychjedaregap: initram will go over all your kernel list, ubuntu has now auto kernel cleanup built-in from time to time05:11
lotuspsychjedaregap: sudo apt autoremove to cleanup manually05:11
guivercb100s, I'll provide https://askubuntu.com/questions/92019/how-to-install-specific-ubuntu-packages-with-exact-version (didn't find exactly what I wanted sorry), their are pros & cons to using specific version (security etc) so I'll suggest doing your homework before using older packages (will backported-security-fixes not being included in it be an issue for your organization etc)05:13
guivercs/their/there etc sorry for typos05:13
b100sguiverc, the link which you gave to me is about package version, not software version packaged into package. Isn't it?05:14
guivercyep.. couldn't find anything that matched what you are asking for... but package tools work on package versions.. if you want specific software version, i believe you'll have to find the package that contains it yourself as not all packages use the same versioning standard05:16
* guiverc is giving my own opinion 05:16
b100sguiverc, yes, that is exactly the essence of my question : ) I.e. how to find a package version which matches a software version packaged in it?05:19
guivercI've given all I can offer, ie. packages.ubuntu.com/changelog or like tools as what comes to mind05:24
magic_ninja@lotuspsychje, thank you. I have xhci_hcd, which seems to be the mobo's usb3 controller05:33
magic_ninjaI see hidev0 and hidraw0 which both seem to be a stream05:34
magic_ninjaguiverc, the package version IS the software version.05:36
b100smagic_ninja, not always the package version matches a software version packaged in it05:37
guivercmagic_ninja, where possible yes it is, but it's not always the case, and I'd thus not trust/rely on it05:39
magic_ninjab100s, that's what I'm saying.05:40
magic_ninjaguiverc, do you have an example of where that isnt' the case?05:40
guivercno; it is for maybe 95+% of packages, but due to a few odd ones, even if only short-term out-of-sync, it's not a rule I'd like to rely on  (my opinion from experience)05:41
magic_ninjamaybe if you are on a development branch of the OS, you could have conflicts, yes05:41
magic_ninjaEven in that case though, the package version is the version of the software. I've never seen a case where you can have version x.y of software and a package version of w.z05:42
magic_ninjathere must be some miscommunication there05:44

pamperedmenialHello, I am trying to get my Kubuntu 19.04 back to it's original software repositories, as it cannot download packages, no matter if I try Polish or global sources in Muon package manager07:07
pamperedmenialCan I somehow easily revert it back to the original repos?07:09
lotuspsychjepamperedmenial: 19.04 is end of life, please install a supported ubuntu version from the repos07:11
EriC^^!eolupgrade | pamperedmenial07:12
ubottupamperedmenial: 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/EOLUpgrades07:12
pamperedmeniallotuspsychje , ubottu, thank you07:17
lotuspsychjepamperedmenial: we advice upgrading ubuntu releases, before they go eol, as they can brake/and or bring security issues along, see !usn07:17
pamperedmenialI am looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases and trying to decide which distribution (version) would be the most appropriate for me, which would be the most popular choice as of today?07:26
ThinkT510pamperedmenial: an LTS release is usually a good choice if you don't want to worry about upgrading releases every 9 months.07:28
pamperedmenialok I see on the kubuntu page it's 20.04.1 - can I just upgrade my outdated 19.04 to it?07:28
ThinkT510pamperedmenial: no, see what EriC^^ posted. You'd need to go sequencially 19.04 -> 19.10 -> 20.0407:29
ThinkT510pamperedmenial: better to just install fresh07:29
pamperedmenialThanks ThinkT51007:31

mra90I try to read a memory area of a PCI device which I obtained from lspci -vvv using dd and here supprise dd says bad address!07:39
apwmra90, you are supprised the kernel doesn't want you to read out device memory?  i am not supprised07:40
mra90it doesn't say permission denied07:41
mra90it says bad address07:41
mra90like out of range right?07:41
mra90I have verified if kernel was compiled with the option allowing for read in /dev/mem07:41
mra90and yes it was07:41
apwif dd is using mmap, i would expect memory related errors07:41
apwnormally memory in /dev/mem is not readable if it is in use by a device07:41
apwbut you may have also missed, is /dev/mem not in kernel virtual addresses, so you need to account for that to use physical addresses07:42
mra90the same method works on other platforms07:43
apwother platforms in terms of the same or different architectures07:43
mra90same architecture but differnet CPUs07:44
mra90like intel apollo lake it was working07:44
mra90but on WHL it is not07:44
mra90looks like plpci is laying to me? :|07:44
mra90lspci*07:44
apwwell i would confirm that device is not binding to something; pretty sure it is not any longer permitted to read from a device which is bound07:45
apwas that tends to lead to exploding bound drivers07:45
mra90apw,: as I said in that case it would say ::permission denied" rather07:46
apwyou sure about that?07:46
mra90I have noticed that the address is indeed strange07:46
mra90I mean its two digits longer than in the case of other platforms07:47
apwdd might be using mmap, and if so, errors are different07:47
mra90apw, /dev/mem is physical memory07:49
apw/* Can we access it for direct reading/writing? Must be RAM: */07:51
apwit actually is limited to the end of ram ...07:51
apwso if the device is mapped after the end of memory it might nto be accessible07:52
apwusing /dev/mem07:52
mra90so what should I use instead?07:52
apwand it would indeed return EFAULT which is 'Bad Address' in human07:53
mra90where have you seen/confirmed thhat?07:54
mra90apw, do you happen to know where might be that pci device listed?07:57
mra90so maybe instead of reading /dev/mem I could read that device file07:57
apwmra90, in the source for /dev/mem driver.  it uses valid_phys_addr_range whcih bounds the drop by the address of high_memory07:58
mra90apw, ok good finding07:59
mra90how about readding that device meory directly from its memory?08:00
apwand just confirmed that is set at the end of the last memory region listed as memory in the e82008:03
mra90apw, sorry e820?08:05
apwi am not sure if that implies your e820 is sad, or if the limit needs to be the higher of memory and device mappings; but it is not that currently08:05
apwthe preceived wisdom on a quick google is you are doing what people think will work; but the layout you have is either just never going to work with /dev/mem as programmed (ie it is buggy) or your e820 is buggy08:06
apwi don't have enough information to know which08:06
mra90apw, ok so I ma going back to me previous question now08:07
mra90if not /dev/mem then what should i use to read that device memory?08:07
apwi am not aware of any other way to read it, you may be stuck08:08
mra90apw, how can that be this device must be enumerated somewhere08:09
mra90after all lspci lists its memory08:09
apwi am sure it is enumerated at the location listed in lspci08:09
apwand that /dev/mem is defined to give you ram, which it isn't listed as08:10
mra90there is sth wrong here look08:10
apwso you can't get to it with taht interface08:10
mra90This device has some shared memory with the host\08:10
mra90called host memory window08:10
mra90and we put there traces like logs08:10
apwi am sure it does, and i am sure it is mapped into iomem08:11
mra90and host is able to read that! I can read these logs08:11
apwand in the other platforms you have it happens to be mapped lower than the end of ram so it happens to work08:11
mra90that might be08:11
apwand in this new platform it is mapped beyond the nominal end of ram, and is not accessible via /dev/mem08:11
mra90but still kernel knows how to talk with this memory08:11
apwyes, it does i am sure08:12
apwand that doesn't tell you anything about whether you can get to it from userspac08:12
apwwithout a device driver for it08:12
mra90okay I will try to play with kernel then08:12
mra90to maybe expose that memory into user spacee08:12
mra90what do you think?08:13
apwthere are likely other options to start trying first; like if this is an efi platform08:15
apwyou can ask it to include the efi memmap ... which can be longer than the e820 (bios form of the memmap) can represent08:15
mra90apww, any idea how to ask?08:16
apwadd_efi_memmap kernel command line parameter does that08:16
mra90apw, sure I can try08:17
mra90howw to get to kernel command line?08:17
apwnormally that is in the control of your bootloader08:17
apwlikely grub2 if you are on efi08:17
apwi think you mash F1 or escape to get that to pop a meny08:18
apwmenu08:18
mra90apw, I try to cat what parameters it does have at the moment08:19
mra90by cat /proc/cmdline08:19
mra90should it reveal the current size of /dev/mem?08:19
apwnope08:19
mra90ok I will try to get into that cmdline now08:20
apwi suspect it won't help; i syspec to use /dev/mem you'd need to fix its range check08:21
apwwhich would be fun in the extreme08:21
mra90apw, should I run dd_efi_memmap from grub?08:22
mra90add_efi_memmap*08:22
mra90because it says "can't find command"08:22
apwmra90, no it is a kernel command line parmeter, needs adding to the kernel commandline bit of the boot record08:23
mra90apw, hmm I dunno how to get there08:24
mra90I rebooted and get into grub cmd08:24
apwthat is well documented on the internets08:24
mra90I thought so but it doesn't appear to be the case08:26
mra90they say how to obtain kernel params08:26
mra90but not how to enter its cmdline08:26
apwnormally you get the menu up with some mashing of keys, from the menu you select the entry you want to boot, and hit e to change it; and add the parameter in the kernel line08:30

kajetanHi, I'm experiencing an annoying issue on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Basically when the screen is still, like when you are looking at a text editor or something "static" I can easly spot kind of wave noise in the background, like the one you can see when the monitor is not synced. As soon I move the mouse, it stops and starts again after few seconds.10:57

summonnerkajetan, I had exactly the same. I reverted to 18 and it went away12:13

geirhaif you were lucky, the write-protected file was the first file that matched the filter14:56
atralheaventhat was my home directory...14:56
geirhabut any files it found before that, and passed to that rm, would be silently deleted14:57
gildartsHope you have a backup.14:58
atralheavenI have a backup from about 40 days ago14:58
gildartsRIP14:58
lotuspsychjephotorec to the data rescue14:59
geirhait'll be hard to predict what files it managed to delete as find iterates the files in arbitrary order; it doesn't sort like ls and shell globs do14:59
atralheavenlotuspsychje: does photorec recover files with their parent directory structure?15:00
geirhabut it will do breadth first by default. So if the write-protected file was in the current directory, it hasn't removed any files in other directories15:01
EriC^^no atralheaven , but testdisk can possibly show you the deleted files and structure, although it might not be able to get them back15:01
EriC^^if the files are important to you, you better stop using the filesystem and boot a live usb and do your work on getting them back from there15:02
atralheavengeirha: well, I ran the command in ~/ and the write-protected file was ./.ssh/id_rsa15:03
geirhathen it must've removed all regular files in ~/ first15:03
atralheavenbut there ar emany files that are still there15:04
atralheavenhow can I compare the structure of two directories (all their subdirs and files) ?15:05
atralheaventree and then diff? or is there a better way15:06
geirhaHm. ok, I see the order isn't quite as I assmued15:06
geirhadiffing the outputs of tree would give a good indication, yes15:06
atralheavenI did a "cp -R --attributes-only . dirs/" before running find and rm, so I have a copy of all dirs and files (but without their contents)15:08
atralheavenbut the copy iteself might be affected by find rm15:08
atralheavenoh I can check the size of home dir15:09
atralheavenI've lost about 2g of 14g, could be worse15:09
atralheaventhank you all15:10

fayti1703I need some help crossgrading a laptop with 18.04 from i386/i686 to amd64 -- basic bootup from a 64-bit kernel (used 4.15.0-112-generic) into `emergency.target` works fine, but once `udevadm` tries to `trigger --action=add` `LNXVIDEO:00` as part of the `systemd-udev-trigger.service`, the system reboots without warning. Did some `netconsole`ing already, kernel log around that isn't helping much.15:28
oerheksfayti1703, never got that working, i386 to amd64 .. reinstall is the best option15:31
kenperkinslotuspsychje: was it you who helped me with kernal module for amdgpu on my ryzen7 laptop?16:23
kenperkinsI'm trying to figure out if my gpu drivers are loaded or not, and I don't think they are16:31

oerhekssudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)16:32
tomreyn"UNCLAIMED" suggests no driver supporting this hardware is loaded.16:32
tomreynyou wouldn't need headers to use amdgpu, though16:33
kenperkinssays the headers are already at the correct version16:33

tomreynwhat's your goal now?16:40
kenperkinsI had to reinstall, so I need to figure out how to re-do that, to see if it makes it accelerated16:40

Smultzhi there, quick question - when adding a new hdd as a data drive, is it better to use a primary or extended partition, or doesn't it matter?16:45
kenperkinsok rebooting after testing the kernel module16:46
tomreynSmultz: personally, i'd want to use gpt partition tables nowadays instead of dos/mbr ones, which you are referring to.16:46
tomreynSmultz: if you'd need to use mbr/dos, though, i'd say "it doesn't really matter".16:46
oerheksextended is what you need if you want more than 4 partitions om MBR, GPT has no issue there.16:47
Smultzfair enough - just gonna have the drive acting as a data slave, so special partitions required16:47
tomreynyou could even use the raw disk without partition table16:50
kenperkinsOK I think this means I have a driver now installed? https://termbin.com/qofw16:51
oerheksyes.16:51
kenperkinsso the only game I have installed is minecraft, but it's getting ~110+ fps so that must mean it's not software17:02
tomreynhmm, that's not exactly much17:04
tomreyni'd test with glxgears first, though17:04

gebbionei no17:09
gebbioneno17:09
gebbioneit looks like it is a problem somewhere with snap while installing gimp17:09
tomreynkenperkins: first run is with framerate synchronization to the monitor, which is what i think you were doing, and then without.17:09
kenperkinsah, command line flag?17:10
gebbionei m trying to follow what is written here https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/gimp-broken/17958/317:10
kenperkins@tomreyn there's no obvious flag for disabling sync17:10
tomreynkenperkins: environment option. you could set it globally, but normally you only want to lift the synchronization for single applications, i.e. games or other 3d heavy stuff.17:10
kenperkinsah, I didn't realize that's how you do it17:11
oerheksgebbione, "snap-discard-ns fixed it" ?17:11
kenperkinsyea, 2000 fps17:12

gebbioneoerheks, kinda ... at least i was able to remove it. I need to install it again and see if i can use printers from it. I was not able to give it permissions to use printers17:12
oerheksgebbione, indeed, the snap version cannot connect to printers. ( just tested)17:15
oerheksreinstall with the --classic option might fix this17:15
oerheksthere is no 'permissions' tab in softwarecenter> installed > gimp > permissions17:16
gebbionei reinstalled with snap and now after editing the printing permissions (there is a permission button next to the installation screen in ubuntu software when selected) it works17:16

Kali_YugaHello I made a bootable USB for someone, and I started the USB to check for errors (yes I did a md5sum to) but now there is another partition called "writable" on that stick, Idk why.. https://www1.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=4819631821:22
Kali_Yugadoes it matter? should I just leave it, why is it there?21:23
oerheksdepends, how did you create the usb, with what tool?21:23
Kali_Yugaoerheks: I just used dd if= of= command21:24
oerheksmkusb gives an option for a persistent part, so you indeed see 2 usb instances.21:24
oerheksno, that is not possible, with just dd.21:24
Kali_Yugaoerheks: well, I did just sudo dd that's it and then started the stick clicked on "try kubuntu"21:25
Kali_Yugaoerheks: sudo dd if=/home/user/Downloads/kubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc status=progress21:25
