[00:06] Suddently when I try to log in into X11 it loops back to the login screen. It works normal on wayland. Any advice to find the issue? [00:07] MadLamb: works with other/new user? [00:07] could be ~/.cache or ~/.config or ~/.Xsomething is confused [00:11] matsaman, didnt try another user [00:11] if you tried you'd know if that was the issue [00:11] matsaman, no file starting with .X [00:12] Ill try [00:12] I'm on the machine [00:12] =/ [00:14] ok i tested [00:14] same behavior [00:18] MadLamb: 'echo $XAUTHORITY' says "you" have access authority ?

[00:22] not sure how much QA has been done for people switching constantly between wayland and not [00:24] matsaman, I'm not constantly switching. I was using X11 and since its not working I am on wayland [00:25] I used the machine the whole day, rebooted at least twice, no problem [00:27] make a new user with useradd, go back to your login screen (display manager), try to get into X as that user [00:27] if that works, then it's probably something simple wrong in your normal user's home, like a confused ~/.cache, ~/.config (something), or ~/.Xsomething [00:30] matsaman, I did that [00:30] matsaman, didnt work [00:31] grep EE $(ls /var/log/X* | tail -1) [00:33] matsaman, the only EE's are "Wacom HID 488E Pen stylus: Invalid type 'cursor' for this device."

[03:56] did you install the game as root or as anonymous1 ? [03:56] as root [03:57] its the only thing i run undere my root. i know its unsecure [03:57] but i accept its under root. im willing to take the security risks [03:57] why does it look for /home/anonymous1/Desktop/everquest.sh ? [03:58] because im under anonymous1 [03:58] i do everything under anonymous1 [03:58] you just said you're root [03:58] it installs it under anonymous (root) [03:58] but im logged into anonymous1 [03:58] sorry, I dont understand this [03:59] ok so i have 2 users right? my first user called "anonymous" when i installed ubuntu. then i created anonymous1 as my second user with administrator privledges. [04:00] i use anonymous1 for everything but for some reason my .wine installs files under my root in anonymous [04:01] I think you should use anonymous1 for every activity incl wine. This is your basic account with sudo privs [04:02] dont log as root or anonymous [04:02] yeah trust me i agree but for some reason wine installs everything under root [04:02] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970765 [04:02] Debian bug 970765 in firefox "Enable WebExtensions Experiments in the packages" [Wishlist,Open] [04:02] you should have a .wine/ under /home/anonymous1 [04:03] it is what it is at this point. lets just say i accept i run it under root and i accept the security risks. what can i do to make this run ?

[04:52] k44: gnome doesnt like less then 4GB ram, unless you start very extreme tweaking, i would not reccomend it [04:53] well it has 4GB [04:53] k44: i had gnome on 18.04 with 2GB ram for long time, but with an ssd and extreme tweaks [04:53] Yeah Lubuntu is good choice :) [04:53] since i added 2GB extra [04:53] k44: so it is possible, if you tweak your whole system [04:53] it's 4GB ddr2 system but non-ssd [04:53] Did you mean Windows 7 or really XP? [04:53] akem XP [04:53] Wow...ok. [04:54] k44: lubuntu 20.04 is very responsive too these days [04:54] and gnome on 20.04 much faster then 18.04 [04:56] k44: try to install these; sudo apt install preload haveged gnome-tweaks dconf-editor stacer bleachbit [04:57] k44: then tweak unwanted services and startup items [05:01] i am looking for linux distro that is not picky about "running as root" [05:01] ubuntu is too picky about "running as root" [05:03] !sudo | k44 [05:03] k44: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

There's a lot of ways to break graphics, and there's also ways to fix them each and every time [08:15] Honestly I'm worried less about the graphics and more about the wifi [08:16] Because the graphics I can fix anywhere. Wifi I need an ethernet conn for, and that's not always easy to get [08:18] fayti1703, try a linux rescue cd/usb stick [08:19] see if wifi works [08:19] no excuse not to try that [08:24] hey! how come that i see stuff like "antigua and barbuda" when i set location while installing ubuntu server, but the whole Europe is hidden away in "other"? :) [08:24] https://i.imgur.com/We9VtSD.png [08:26] (okok, i see that UK and Ireland are there though hehe) [08:27] pirx, recent Ubuntu Server releases no longer use the debian installer anymore (subiquity replaced it), but those locations (for english) was done long (decades) ago by debian devs..

Your suggestion to use this ubuntu-drivers utility has worked. I ran `sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia` and things are working again. [09:52] Odd that I needed to do that. I'm sure I've updated before (including a kernel update) and no manual intervention was needed. [10:03] Hi!

If so, would you mind sharing it? [10:45] Sakara: wich version are you on now? [10:45] It selected to deploy 450. [10:45] flowinho: come join at #ubuntu-server if you like [10:45] Sakara: yeah, that sounds like a great choice [10:46] I guess it makes sense for stability to use the slightly older driver in the lts. [10:47] I'm not sure why the driver didn't load though. I'd think even if I had a trash card from nvidia I'd have still had the problem though. [10:47] Sakara: well in case of new hardware, LTS doesnt really count for stability on drivers [10:47] All I did to get into this trouble was apt get update && apt get upgrade and then no more graphics driver. [10:48] Sakara: did you recall wich driver it took by default? [10:48] It had 440 in place [10:48] it was what was there form the start I think. [10:48] Sakara: yeah, well as i said, the 440 has a few by default bugs on 20.04 [10:48] !20.04 [10:49] Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) is the 32nd release of Ubuntu and is the current !LTS release.

I tried to get into the menu to select a previous snapshot but didn't find how to get in tehre in the end. [10:50] Are there i386/i686 images for 18.04?

[15:34] sudo is with root permissions, not as root [15:35] Really the same idea [15:35] It runs it with your home folder [15:35] Unless you tell it otherwise [15:37] one can become root with sudo su [15:37] Or sudo -s [15:38] Which again, runs commands with your homefolder [15:38] I'm old school i guess [15:38] But this argument is sort of not needed === Waggie2 is now known as Waggie [15:39] :) [15:40] debian permissions used to piss me off, was glad when ubuntu showed up [15:40] Ubuntu is pretty much a simpler version of debian. The GUI is better too. [15:47] Is there any way to remove sudo command every time when i give docker command [15:47] sachchanagarik: Automatically run it with sudo?

[15:50] seat0 looks like a multi seat thingy? [15:50] sachchanagarik: Instead of using 'docker search' use 'sudo docker search' [15:51] its in the ubuntu pkgs apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop [15:51] https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-budgie-desktop-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux [15:52] it says its officialy supported by ubuntu [15:52] Texas: ya i did that now for every other code such as 'docker images' I have to use sudo. Is there any way/method to remove that [15:53] and its in the ubuntu pkgs [15:53] rneese, indeed it is, you got my attention by the script thingy, so i wondered. [15:53] sachchanagarik: Not really except for writing a bash script that runs docker with sudo automatically [15:53] Tbh, it's probably easier to just use sudo each time [15:53] Texas: thanks for your help [15:54] so we did the install no issue until login [15:54] You're welcome [15:54] :D [15:55] we are looking to put it on arm boards as it is supported if we can get it working [15:59] so now I dont get whats going on [15:59] we followed the install [15:59] might be xorg running the wrong video [16:00] rneese: maybe the #ubuntu-arm or #ubuntu-budgie guys know more of it?

[16:56] Yes. [16:56] thank you! [16:56] have fun! [16:57] so it seems there is something amiss with this laptop's bluetooth [16:58] search the web for logitech m720 bt mouse on ubuntu 20.04 or your laptop brand/type maybe something shows up :) [16:59] ok [16:59] i'll do it again [17:00] Greenfrog, make sure you use a usb 2 port, not usb 3 ( = blue) [17:00] not sure what you mean, its a bt mouse [17:01] normally i never change that setting [17:02] Greenfrog: can you paste this, hciconfig -a [17:02] ok [17:03] thats alot to paste what are you looking for, or would you like me to pastebil [17:04] pastebin? [17:04] Greenfrog: is there hci0: [17:05] yes [17:05] type: primary bus: usb [17:05] I would like colors retained when I pipe to less (like it naturally does in Termux on my phone). But `less -r` or `less -R` or export LESS='-r' does not achieve this on my system. Is there some shadow exports or some setting that I can look at to debug this? [17:05] Greenfrog: there should be about 20 lines for hci0: [17:06] isene: the program youre piping has to emit the colours too [17:06] nope only one [17:06] grep for example has --colour=always [17:06] next is TU: 64:1 [17:07] j`ey: In Termux, `ls | less` give colors, but not on my Ubuntu 20.04 (or earlier for that matter - it has never yielded colors) [17:07] ok mouse works on roommates computer just not this one [17:07] isene: what about ls on its own? [17:07] Greenfrog: https://superuser.com/questions/1520483/connecting-logitech-m720-mouse-with-bluetooth-linux-and-windows [17:08] isene: try ls --color=always | less -R [17:10] j`ey: Now that does indeed work. Maybe ls in Termux is set to ls --color=always ? [17:11] isene: try `alias` [17:13] j`ey: Bingo; ls='ls --color=yes' [17:13] j`ey: Thanks for helping me not attack the cactus [17:13] isene: np! [17:14] using hcitool lescan does not work on this laptop set sccan parameters failed: input/output error [17:16] is there another bluetooth command i can use in terminal to see what bluetooth is available? [17:22] ok going to logitech [17:43] join #gentoo [17:44] ok, found a stupid easy answer for the mouse bluetooth issue [17:45] this laptop is bluetooth 2.1 and the mouse is 4.0 using the inclosed tongle in the mouse battery compartment connected instantly [17:46] problem solved :) [17:48] weeeeeee, its working fine now :) [17:51] i speak of myself: what a maroon :P [19:17] Hi all, i have a problem launching an old codebase which should be started with ./startup & [19:17] "sudo: unable to execute ./startup: No such file or directory" [19:17] bnyspnker: chmod +x startup.sh [19:17] even though the startup file is in the same directory as i do that command [19:17] i tried that [19:18] it is not .sh though, simply startup [19:18] (an old MUD codebase) [19:18] bnyspnker: you'll need to seek support from whoever manages said codebase. This really isn't an ubuntu support issue. [19:19] Yeah they stopped development for that like 20 years ago :) [19:19] No it is not, just wanted to check if perhaps someone knew by chance [19:23] hi everybody! 20.04.1 does not recognise the correct mode for external monitor .... How do I force the correct mode? [19:25] bnyspnker, probably a 32 bit binary ; run 'file startup' or whatever it is [19:26] ioria it is an C application, just compiled it [19:26] bnyspnker, run 'file startup' [19:26] "startup: C shell script, ASCII text executable [19:27] bnyspnker, an ascii file canoot be a 'compiled' thing [19:27] no i meant that i compiled all the .c files first [19:27] bnyspnker, meaning it's not compiled (or linked) [19:28] bnyspnker, you compiled nothing [19:29] ok, well my knowledge is not that great so that is why i came here asking for help. If you dont want you can simply ignore me that is ok [19:29] bnyspnker, not the pace, sy [19:29] *place [19:30] No worries, is there any good place to ask for a thing like this perhaps?

[20:55] "no git" was meant to read "no `.git` directory" [21:01] hi since upgrading to 20.04, audio volume is really low in mpv and some other video players but is louder in VLC. anyone know why one video player would suddenly have low max audio while others don't? i've had audio issues in general, having to run pulseaudio -k on computer startup for audio to work at all [21:02] Anyone have a few min for a question? [21:02] When booting I am getting a systemd-networkd.service: start request repeated to quickly.

[21:10] are you suggesting some apps are failing to interact with pulseaudio correctly in 20.04 so i need to adjust it directly and not the media app's volume controls? [21:16] I'm wanting to set up a local package cache since I have multiple VMs all pulling the same packages for their dist-upgrades; been looking at "apt-cacher-ng", "apt-proxy", and "approx". They all seem like they kinda do the same thing; is there one that's generally preferred? [21:18] jaybeers, 10 years ago i used apt-cacher-ng and it worked well for me; i know that's not the best information but it's what i have [21:21] yeah, I used apt-cacher (not -ng) waaaay back in the day and it worked OK (it worked fine, just that the first download would always fail because it didn't have the package yet. [21:22] no big deal though, just do it again in five minutes [21:24] jaybeers, I've used apt-cacher-ng for years now. Looking at approx it looks like it requires editing sources.list to change all the lines to point to the proxy, as opposed to apt-cacher-ng where one leaves sources.list alone and put a proxy spec in the options [21:25] jaybeers, advantage of the proxy spec is it's really easy to turn off if needed (like the proxy machine is down) [21:25] right on [21:29] yeah, or if you control your own DNS you can just point the proxy hostname to a different host [21:29] ok, sounds like apt-cacher-ng it is :) Thanks for the input!
