[00:06] <MadLamb> 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] <matsaman> MadLamb: works with other/new user?
[00:07] <matsaman> could be ~/.cache or ~/.config or ~/.Xsomething is confused
[00:11] <MadLamb> matsaman, didnt try another user
[00:11] <matsaman> if you tried you'd know if that was the issue
[00:11] <MadLamb> matsaman, no file starting with .X
[00:12] <MadLamb> Ill try
[00:12] <MadLamb> I'm on the machine
[00:12] <MadLamb> =/
[00:14] <MadLamb> ok i tested
[00:14] <MadLamb> same behavior
[00:18] <Bashing-om> MadLamb: 'echo $XAUTHORITY' says "you" have access authority ?
[00:19] <MadLamb> Bashing-om, no, but I am on wayland. is that supposed to happen on wayland?
[00:19] <MadLamb> Bashing-om, /run/user/1000/.mutter-Xwaylandauth.PYTIR0 this is what I see
[00:21] <Bashing-om> MadLamb: Can not say as to that ^ as I am not booting Wayland - X11 shows " /home/sysop/.Xauthority " for me as sysop.
[00:22] <matsaman> not sure how much QA has been done for people switching constantly between wayland and not
[00:24] <MadLamb> matsaman, I'm not constantly switching. I was using X11 and since its not working I am on wayland
[00:25] <MadLamb> I used the machine the whole day, rebooted at least twice, no problem
[00:27] <matsaman> make a new user with useradd, go back to your login screen (display manager), try to get into X as that user
[00:27] <matsaman> 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] <MadLamb> matsaman, I did that
[00:30] <MadLamb> matsaman, didnt work
[00:31] <matsaman> grep EE $(ls /var/log/X* | tail -1)
[00:33] <MadLamb> matsaman, the only EE's are "Wacom HID 488E Pen stylus: Invalid type 'cursor' for this device."
[00:33] <MadLamb> Mathisen, I dont have any wacom device
[00:46] <MadLamb> could it be this? "gdm3[923]: GLib: Source ID 423 was not found when attempting to remove it"
[00:48] <MadLamb> gnome-shell[9034]: Object St.Button (0x55a47a09e4e0), has been already deallocated — impossible to get any property from it. This might be caused by the object having been destroyed from C code using something such as destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs.
[00:49] <MadLamb> aha! Parse error on line 12 of section InputClass in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics-ubuntu.conf
[00:52] <MadLamb> user error
[00:52] <MadLamb> :D
[00:52] <MadLamb> it works now
[01:06] <CarlFK> how can I get all 4 of these to print on one line?  cd /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id;  cat sys_vendor product_version product_name product_sku
[01:06] <CarlFK> best I have come up with: echo $(cat sys_vendor) $(cat product_version) $(cat product_name) $(cat product_sku)
[01:19] <rfm> CarlFK, cat sys_vendor product_version product_name product_sku | xargs echo
[01:23] <CarlFK> rfm: nice.  thanks.
[01:52] <random1> Not sure if this is the right channel but here it goes. I am using Ubuntu and I installed wine. I successfully installed a video game and when I open up 'winecfg' i see the desktop icon on the virtual wine emulator. But issue is that shortcut isnt the correct one for the private server i play on. Was curious where does wine save the install files
[01:52] <random1> at? Cant find it for the life of me
[01:54] <oerheks> sure #winehq knows
[01:54] <oerheks> !wine
[01:54] <random1> thank you
[02:25] <instantp10neer> What is an easy way to see what is holding the file system from being unmounted in recovery?
[02:31] <k_sze> Some weird shit just happened. I have Ubuntu 18.04 for x86-64, fully patched on HWE stack. I don't know what I pressed, but on the lock screen, where I'm supposed to enter my password to unlock, if I press any of Insert, Delete, Home, or End, the screen just turns black, and then if I press any other key, the screen comes back on and I see multiple characters have been input into the password input (though I obviously cannot see what characters are
[02:31] <k_sze> actually there because they are all masked).
[03:31] <wunderbar> i installed apt-get install -qy postgresql=12+215.pgdg18.04+1 postgresql-contrib=12+215.pgdg18.04+1
[03:31] <wunderbar> this a few months ago
[03:31] <wunderbar> and now it says it can not find them
[03:31] <wunderbar> wtf
[03:32] <wunderbar> i want to install exact versions
[03:32] <wunderbar> and I expect it to work in the future
[03:32] <wunderbar> why would this fail ?
[03:32] <wunderbar> does ubuntu clean out older versions of software in repositories?
[03:36] <Bashing-om> !info postgresql | wunderbar
[03:36] <guiverc> wunderbar, you haven't said what release, it looks like you got it from a PPA/3rd party not official repo at a glance
[03:37] <guiverc> postgresql-10 was for bionic, postgresql-12 was focal; yet you have 18.04 in package name
[03:38] <wunderbar> yes, i am using it from another repo .. deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ bionic-pgdg
[03:38] <wunderbar> are they cleaning them out?
[03:38] <wunderbar> but also
[03:39] <wunderbar> i had the same issue with gnupg
[03:39] <guiverc> wunderbar, you'll have to ask them, that's noa Ubuntu repo but 3rd party
[03:39] <wunderbar> gnupg=2.2.4-1ubuntu1.2
[03:39] <guiverc> s/noa/not a\
[03:39] <wunderbar> was not found
[03:39] <wunderbar> instead had to install 2.2.4-1ubuntu1.3
[03:39] <wunderbar> guiverc how about the gnupg one ?
[03:40] <guiverc> wunderbar, I don't know your release, that looks like it was for a now-EOL release given package name
[03:41] <wunderbar> it is 18.04
[03:42] <guiverc> 2.2.4-1ubuntu1.3 I believe was version that came with bionic at release time
[03:42] <wunderbar> well, i've installed 1.2 in the past
[03:42] <wunderbar> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/gnupg/2.2.4-1ubuntu1.2
[03:43] <wunderbar> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/16260087
[03:44] <wunderbar> i am trying to figure out how this work
[03:44] <guiverc> yep you're correct, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/gnupg shows it was built & removed
[03:45] <guiverc> 2019
[03:45] <wunderbar> guiverc why would it be removed
[03:45] <wunderbar> i expect my scripts to be able to run for at least 1 year
[03:45] <wunderbar> i can guarantee my system to work the same one year from now on.. if i can install the exact same set of programs
[03:46] <wunderbar> i can not if i am forced to update ... regardless of opinions
[03:46] <wunderbar> plus, i would not know if in this security update ... NSA included some of its own update
[03:46] <wunderbar> i am fine with using whatever was secure a year ago
[03:47] <wunderbar> annoying as hell
[03:47] <guiverc> wunderbar, i can only offer https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/g/gnupg2/gnupg2_2.2.4-1ubuntu1.3/changelog  which shows why 1.3 replaced 1.2
[03:47] <random1> I have a problem. Trying to execute this script https://pastebin.com/PTLZgPPB and I get an error of https://pastebin.com/7m5FevjB . What am i doing wrong? Tried #winehq earlier but it seems they wanted me to ask yall here for ubuntu
[03:50] <pavlos> random1: line 4 ... the path should be .wine/... not root/.wine/...
[03:50] <guiverc> random1, what OS & release are you using, running GUI as root is unwise
[03:50] <random1> should it be in " " ?
[03:51] <random1> cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Sony/EverQuest" like that ?
[03:51] <pavlos> yes
[03:51] <random1> let me check
[03:52] <random1> it says ... /home/anonymous1/Desktop/everquest.sh: 4: cd: can't cd to .wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Sony/EverQuest
[03:53] <pavlos> yes but you started as root but now it looks for /home/anonymous
[03:54] <random1> oh
[03:54] <pavlos> you need to look into that everquesh.sh  script
[03:56] <random1> im confused -_-
[03:56] <random1> should i put the .sh in my root directory ?
[03:56] <pavlos> did you install the game as root or as anonymous1 ?
[03:56] <random1> as root
[03:57] <random1> its the only thing i run undere my root. i know its unsecure
[03:57] <random1> but i accept its under root. im willing to take the security risks
[03:57] <pavlos> why does it look for /home/anonymous1/Desktop/everquest.sh ?
[03:58] <random1> because im under anonymous1
[03:58] <random1> i do everything under anonymous1
[03:58] <pavlos> you just said you're root
[03:58] <random1> it installs it under anonymous (root)
[03:58] <random1> but im logged into anonymous1
[03:58] <pavlos> sorry, I dont understand this
[03:59] <random1> 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] <random1> i use anonymous1 for everything but for some reason my .wine installs files under my root in anonymous
[04:01] <pavlos> I think you should use anonymous1 for every activity incl wine. This is your basic account with sudo privs
[04:02] <pavlos> dont log as root or anonymous
[04:02] <random1> yeah trust me i agree but for some reason wine installs everything under root
[04:02] <KOLANICH> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970765
[04:02] <pavlos> you should have a .wine/ under /home/anonymous1
[04:03] <random1> 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 ?
[04:03] <random1> log into anonymous(root) ? instead of anonymous1
[04:04] <pavlos> well, I cannot help ... I will install wine on my 20.04 (as a regular user) and come back
[04:04] <random1> ok thank you
[04:04] <random1> u think logging into root would fix this ?
[04:07] <random1> nm
[04:07] <random1> i got it working. just run it under root
[04:07] <random1> thank u
[04:07] <pavlos> unless there is a /root/.wine/ and it is looking there     ..... root's home dir is /root, anonymous1 home dir is /home/anomynous1
[04:48] <k44> i have a 2GB ddr2 system that ran fast on windowsxp and  after upgrading to windows10 it's too slow and it's unusable  (even though i added 2GB extra ram on it)  : would it be usuable with ubuntu?
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> lubuntu k44
[04:51] <k44> lotuspsychje what would happen if i install "regular UBUNTU" on that system
[04:52] <akem> It will explode.
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> k44: gnome doesnt like less then 4GB ram, unless you start very extreme tweaking, i would not reccomend it
[04:53] <k44> well it has 4GB
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> k44: i had gnome on 18.04 with 2GB ram for long time, but with an ssd and extreme tweaks
[04:53] <akem> Yeah Lubuntu is good choice :)
[04:53] <k44> since i added 2GB extra
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> k44: so it is possible, if you tweak your whole system
[04:53] <k44> it's  4GB ddr2 system but non-ssd
[04:53] <akem> Did you mean Windows 7 or really XP?
[04:53] <k44> akem XP
[04:53] <akem> Wow...ok.
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> k44: lubuntu 20.04 is very responsive too these days
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> and gnome on 20.04 much faster then 18.04
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> k44: try to install these; sudo apt install preload haveged gnome-tweaks dconf-editor stacer bleachbit
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> k44: then tweak unwanted services and startup items
[05:01] <k44> i am looking for linux distro that is not picky about "running as root"
[05:01] <k44> ubuntu is too picky about "running as root"
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> !sudo | k44
[05:03] <k44> i don't want to use SUDO, i just want to run everything as root
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> k44: its not such a great idea
[05:03] <k44> again it's my computer, it shoujld be my choice
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> k44: whats your purpose?
[05:04] <k44> just using youtube
[05:04] <k44> nothing else
[05:04] <k44> so i don't care about being hacked
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> k44: using just YT running as root is just a bit dull purpose dont you think
[05:04] <k44> again, it's my choice
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> sure, but it doesnt make sense at all
[05:05] <k44> what distro is not picky about running as root
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> k44: thats not to be discussed here
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> we only advice on ubuntu support issues here
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> k44: maybe ##linux ?
[05:06] <k44> okay thanks
[05:14] <zhaokun> w

[05:32] <xbfrog> i like to play games offline. recently a simple game called quardapassel started sticking does anyone know how to stop this?
[05:32] <xbfrog> played fine at first now doesnt
[07:46] <fayti1703> Need some help with a 32-bit (i686) Ubuntu 18.04 laptop, apparently it decided it didn't want to load either its graphics card or wifi drivers anymore (lshw shows them as UNCLAIMED)
[07:48] <retran> wipe and reinstall :D
[07:49] <retran> (just sayin what I'd do)
[07:49] <retran> and if the same thing happens... then deal with it
[07:50] <retran> there's a billion and one ways to eff-up your video in linux
[08:12] <jelly> that's the easy way, I haven't reinstalled this installation since its 14.04 initial setup
[08:13] <Mr_Pan> long time ago...
[08:13] <jelly> migrated across 3 or 4 hardware platforms (newer laptops)
[08:15] <jelly> and my debian workstations at home and work have been installed in 2001.  There's a lot of ways to break graphics, and there's also ways to fix them each and every time
[08:15] <fayti1703> Honestly I'm worried less about the graphics and more about the wifi
[08:16] <fayti1703> Because the graphics I can fix anywhere. Wifi I need an ethernet conn for, and that's not always easy to get
[08:18] <retran> fayti1703, try a linux rescue cd/usb stick
[08:19] <retran> see if wifi works
[08:19] <retran> no excuse not to try that
[08:24] <pirx> 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] <pirx> https://i.imgur.com/We9VtSD.png
[08:26] <pirx> (okok, i see that UK and Ireland are there though hehe)
[08:27] <guiverc> 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..
[08:31] <pirx> guiverc: aaah, yes, i even managed to miss that i booted  16.04 iso here:)
[08:31] <guiverc> I suspected it was old given the di (debian) installer
[08:32] <retran> jelly, do you have our old devices air-gapped?
[08:32] <retran> jelly, it just sounds SOOO unsafe to have that ancient of poop running
[08:32] <retran> are you a bank.. or electric utility or something?
[09:33] <daregap> Hey, is there a linux program that shows graphical representation of the filesystem layout i.e. where the files are written on the disk?
[09:35] <daregap> like the defrag view for windows ^^
[09:36] <lotuspsychje> daregap: there are several packages that help finding structure, like baobab or bootchart, depends what you are trying to find/see?
[09:38] <daregap> just a graphical representation of the sectors in use by the filesystem that show where the files are stored
[09:38] <Sakara> I've just booted up my Ubuntu 20.04 desktop and my nvidia graphics is not working correctly. Is anyone else having this issue?
[09:40] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: sudo lshw -C video in a pastebin please?
[09:40] <Sakara> @lotuspsychje, https://pastebin.com/5dfb2NDB
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: unclaimed, yeah driver not loaded, can you pastebin dmesg please?
[09:42] <Sakara> @lotuspsychje, https://pastebin.com/iPyA2Ssg
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: gonna lunch first, try to switch to another driver meanwhile
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: ubuntu-drivers list, to see whats available
[09:49] <chaitanya122> join #python
[09:51] <Sakara> lotuspsychje, there was some bug there. Your suggestion to use this ubuntu-drivers utility has worked. I ran `sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia` and things are working again.
[09:52] <Sakara> 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] <matkor> Hi! Any reason, why after attaching USB/SATA bridge with disk i can see in logs:  kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk, but no /dev/sd* device is created?
[10:05] <matkor> I see bridge via lsusb:  Bus 003 Device 002: ID 174c:55aa ASMedia Technology Inc. Name: ASM1051E SATA 6Gb/s bridge, ASM1053E SATA 6Gb/s bridge, ASM1153 SATA 3Gb/s bridge, ASM1153E SATA 6Gb/s bridge
[10:44] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: the 440 version has a few known bugs on 20.04, your big RTX card also benefits the most recent driver possible
[10:45] <flowinho> Is there any recommendable guide for securing your ubuntu server? If so, would you mind sharing it?
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: wich version are you on now?
[10:45] <Sakara> It selected to deploy 450.
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> flowinho: come join at #ubuntu-server if you like
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: yeah, that sounds like a great choice
[10:46] <Sakara> I guess it makes sense for stability to use the slightly older driver in the lts.
[10:47] <Sakara> 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] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: well in case of new hardware, LTS doesnt really count for stability on drivers
[10:47] <Sakara> All I did to get into this trouble was apt get update && apt get upgrade and then no more graphics driver.
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: did you recall wich driver it took by default?
[10:48] <Sakara> It had 440 in place
[10:48] <Sakara> it was what was there form the start I think.
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: yeah, well as i said, the 440 has a few by default bugs on 20.04
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> !20.04
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: to find in the releasenotes
[10:50] <Sakara> I guess this new zsys stuff I could have rolled back pretty easy. 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] <fayti1703> Are there i386/i686 images for 18.04?
[10:50] <Sakara> The 450 driver is working nicely for me now so its all good. Thanks for your suggests lotuspsychje. They really helped.
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> welcome Sakara ; )
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> fayti1703: 18.04 still supports 32bit
[10:52] <fayti1703> lotuspsychje: am aware, that's what I'm currently running. but I can't find any images for 32-bit at old-releases.ubuntu.com
[10:58] <lotuspsychje> fayti1703: wich image are you looking for exactly
[10:59] <fayti1703> lotuspsychje: anything live-bootable.
[10:59] <fayti1703> (with networking)
[11:03] <zen_coder> how can I download a file via curl?
[11:03] <lotuspsychje> fayti1703: something like this? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
[11:05] <fayti1703> lotuspsychje: thanks, I'll try that.
[11:08] <fayti1703> zen_coder: if you do `curl {url}` it'll download to stdout, so just redirect it: `curl {url} > file.dat`
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: i just saw a new bug today, bug #1896723 i wonder if thats what happend to you? system trying to update and 450 got stuck?
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> Sakara: or were you sure, you had 440 enabled before updating?
[12:39] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:41] <Lutin> is it possible to bypass the proxy like http_proxy when it cannot connect to it ?
[12:45] <lotuspsychje> Lutin: perhaps a question for ##networking ?
[12:50] <Lutin> lotuspsychje not really because you set it in ubuntu as ENV :)
[12:50] <lotuspsychje> Lutin: if its an ubuntu issue, sure you can ask here
[12:51] <Lutin> lotuspsychje I just did ?
[13:20] <bostongeek36> so i have two issues one is that the screen keeps rotating by itself back and forth
[13:20] <bostongeek36> its annoying
[13:21] <bostongeek36> im not using gnome so i don't have the applet to lock the screen
[13:21] <bostongeek36> is there some command i can use to do that?
[13:24] <fayti1703> retran: i386-netboot image can use that wifi adapter just fine (incl. before it starts pulling packages)
[13:26] <bostongeek36> ok i fixed that myself
[13:27] <bostongeek36> the one thats really causing issues is i have no sound. when i go into pulseaudio control dummy load is the only thing listed
[13:27] <bostongeek36> i have a intel audio
[13:27] <bostongeek36> there seems to be an issue with the device
[13:28] <bostongeek36> when i try to install the driver for it i get an error saying theres no such device but my computer does see it if i use aplay -l
[13:28] <bostongeek36> and its listed as default
[13:28] <bostongeek36> ive been tearing my hair out trying to figure it out
[13:29] <bostongeek36> it is a known problem in ubuntu but was supposedly fixed
[13:29] <bostongeek36> not for me
[13:29] <bostongeek36> it worked in 18.04
[13:29] <bostongeek36> so i may have to go back to that
[13:31] <bostongeek36> also if i use HDA jack retasks it only sees the hdmi port not the sound chip
[13:32] <BluesKaj> bostongeek36, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel, also if you upgraded your kernel lately check alsamixer for automute enabled, if so disable it
[13:32] <BluesKaj> you may have to reboot
[13:32] <bostongeek36> alsamixer is only showing spdif
[13:33] <bostongeek36> which im not even sure i have on this laptop
[13:34] <bostongeek36> BluesKaj sudo modprobe sda-hda-intel showed nothing
[13:34] <BluesKaj> good that means the driver loaded
[13:35] <bostongeek36> something is borked. i may just go back to 18.04
[13:35] <BluesKaj> try a reboot
[13:35] <bostongeek36> BluesKaj ive had this problem since upgrading ive done multiple reboots and shutdowns
[13:36] <BluesKaj> doesn't matter bostongeek36, this is an old bug that's never been fixed, loading the driver with modprobe should fix it
[13:36] <bostongeek36> ah
[13:36] <bostongeek36> ok
[13:37] <bostongeek36> yeah ive seen that
[13:37] <bostongeek36> odd that it worked in 18.04 though
[13:37] <An01nt3d_0n3_> #archlinux
[13:37] <bostongeek36> well it wasn't pure 18.04 so maybe the people that made it fixed the issue
[13:38] <bostongeek36> i shall return!
[13:38] <rneese> ok so budgie is part of oficial ubuntu
[13:38] <rneese> we did a install on arm but have 1 issue
[13:38] <rneese> it wont leyt us login
[13:39] <rneese> we get the lightdm login screen but when we input the passwd it says incorrect
[13:39] <rneese> but I know 1000% its correct
[13:42] <lotuspsychje> rneese: did you try password from a tty?
[13:43] <pwnrz> Anyone here know how to use Inspircd with Ubuntu?
[13:44] <rneese> yes and it works fine
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> rneese: did you try a lightdm restart?
[13:47] <rneese> yes we even rebooted to test
[13:49] <rneese> we are running a new build now
[13:49] <rneese> to retest the install
[13:50] <pwnrz> So whenever I do ./inspircd start, it says there is no config file, I tried running it in superuser mode, but that didn't work either
[13:57] <lotuspsychje> rneese: maybe you can grab the lightdm.log from a tty to see what goes wrong?
[14:03] <xbfrog> can anyone tell me if you can get to http://www.mediase.com its a tree cam website. i'm looking for a manual. i get: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED this site cannot be reached
[14:04] <xbfrog> but i can go to anyother website
[14:05] <BluesKaj> xbfrog, doesn't work here either
[14:06] <BluesKaj> on FF
[14:06] <xbfrog> heh, thanks :)
[14:06] <xbfrog> they say it does but apparently not
[14:06] <rneese> ok I will once the tbuild is done and i can retest
[14:06] <rneese> we wiped it and are reloadign
[14:09] <fayti1703> xbfrog: looks like it went down in 2016. it's archived, though. `archive.org`.
[14:54] <rneese> ok fresh install and now it says failed to start session
[14:59] <rneese> [+13.50s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Failed to find session configuration budgie-desktop
[14:59] <rneese> [+13.50s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Can't find session 'budgie-desktop'
[14:59] <rneese> we run the install script
[14:59] <rneese> nothing fails
[14:59] <rneese> until you try to login
[15:00] <rneese> bbiab

[15:10] <sachchanagarik> new in Ubuntu
[15:13] <Texas> sachchanagarik: Try 'sudo docker search ubuntu'
[15:23] <sachchanagarik> thnx texas
[15:24] <sachchanagarik> thnx @Texas
[15:25] <Texas> yep
[15:26] <Texas> sachchanagarik: Usually any time you get a permission error, you can solve it by using sudo. Just make sure the command you're running is safe :)
[15:26] <Texas> sudo means to run it as root
[15:28] <sachchanagarik> Texas: thank you for the info
[15:28] <Texas> You're welcome
[15:29] <elias_a> It can be remembered and understood like this: Super User DO :)
[15:30] <Texas> I think that's actually what it stands for, but don't quote me on that.
[15:34] <BluesKaj> sudo is with root permissions, not as root
[15:35] <Texas> Really the same idea
[15:35] <Texas> It runs it with your home folder
[15:35] <Texas> Unless you tell it otherwise
[15:37] <BluesKaj> one can become root with sudo su
[15:37] <Texas> Or sudo -s
[15:38] <Texas> Which again, runs commands with your homefolder
[15:38] <BluesKaj> I'm old school i guess
[15:38] <Texas> But this argument is sort of not needed
[15:39] <sachchanagarik> :)
[15:40] <BluesKaj> debian permissions used to piss me off, was glad when ubuntu showed up
[15:40] <Texas> Ubuntu is pretty much a simpler version of debian. The GUI is better too.
[15:47] <sachchanagarik> Is there any way to remove sudo command  every time when i give docker command
[15:47] <Texas> sachchanagarik: Automatically run it with sudo?
[15:48] <Texas> You could probably write a bash script for it
[15:49] <rneese> bbiab[+3227.66s] DEBUG: Greeter requests default session
[15:49] <rneese> [+3227.66s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Failed to find session configuration budgie-desktop
[15:49] <rneese> [+3227.66s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Can't find session 'budgie-desktop'
[15:49] <rneese> so it looks like budgie has issues
[15:49] <Texas> rneese: What are you trying to do?
[15:49] <rneese> we use the budgie install script on a arm64 board
[15:50] <rneese> and it installed we rebooted and tried to login
[15:50] <rneese> but it fails to start session
[15:50] <sachchanagarik> you know i am trying to learn how to use docker and every time it is asking me permission so now every time I need use sudo command which is not given by instructor so aI am confused
[15:50] <oerheks> "the budgie install script " .. url?
[15:50] <oerheks> seat0 looks like a multi seat thingy?
[15:50] <Texas> sachchanagarik: Instead of using 'docker search' use 'sudo docker search'
[15:51] <rneese> its in the ubuntu pkgs apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop
[15:51] <rneese> https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-budgie-desktop-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
[15:52] <rneese> it says its officialy supported by ubuntu
[15:52] <sachchanagarik> 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] <rneese> and its in the ubuntu pkgs
[15:53] <oerheks> rneese, indeed it is, you got my attention by the script thingy, so i wondered.
[15:53] <Texas> sachchanagarik: Not really except for writing a bash script that runs docker with sudo automatically
[15:53] <Texas> Tbh, it's probably easier to just use sudo each time
[15:53] <sachchanagarik> Texas: thanks for your help
[15:54] <rneese> so we did the install no issue until login
[15:54] <Texas> You're welcome
[15:54] <sachchanagarik> :D
[15:55] <rneese> we are looking to put it on arm boards as it is supported if we can get it working
[15:59] <rneese> so now I dont get whats going on
[15:59] <rneese> we followed the install
[15:59] <rneese> might be xorg running the wrong video
[16:00] <lotuspsychje> rneese: maybe the #ubuntu-arm or #ubuntu-budgie guys know more of it?
[16:00] <rneese> ok
[16:09] <Greenfrog> i'm trying to pair a logitech m720 to ubuntu 20.04 and ubuntu doesnt see the mouse when paring mode is active. what can i do?
[16:12] <Greenfrog> i bought 2 m720's for 2 laptops running ubuntu 20.04 one connected fine, this one wont connect
[16:12] <Greenfrog> or at least not seen by ubuntu bluetooth
[16:12] <compdoc> are those good mice?
[16:13] <Greenfrog> should be just bought them
[16:13] <Greenfrog> both new
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: did you try to pai with blueman yet?
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> *pair
[16:14] <Greenfrog> um, is blueman a default installed app?
[16:14] <rneese> looks like the meta install pkg is broken
[16:15] <rneese> it sinstalls a few wallpapers but never installs budgie
[16:15] <Greenfrog> i open bluetooth app and it connects to another bt mouse but cant find the m720
[16:17] <lotuspsychje> !info blueman | Greenfrog
[16:19] <Greenfrog> okdj@greenfrog:~$ !info blueman | greenfrog
[16:19] <Greenfrog> bash: !info: event not found
[16:19] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: sudo apt install blueman
[16:20] <Greenfrog> ok done
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: reboot and try again pairing with blueman this time
[16:21] <Greenfrog> ok b bak
[16:26] <Greenfrog> installed blueman rebooted no change in bluetooth connection
[16:27] <Greenfrog> do i need to specifically start blueman?
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: ok, could you pastebin your dmesg please

[16:34] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: do you have any other BT devices branched currently?
[16:34] <Greenfrog> yes
[16:35] <Greenfrog> one, another bt mouse
[16:35] <Greenfrog> i did disconnect that mouse and used the finger pad to connect and no change
[16:36] <pavlos> Saeid: try settings>about. Is the device name correct? (I assume you're on 20.04
[16:36] <Greenfrog> it doesnt show up in the device list
[16:37] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: please while you test BT, leave a journactl -f open in realtime, maybe we can catch usefull errors
[16:37] <Greenfrog> ok
[16:37] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: is your BT device adapter internal, or internal with wifi?
[16:37] <lotuspsychje> *external
[16:37] <Greenfrog> internal
[16:38] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: they both support the same BT technology adapter and mouse?
[16:39] <Greenfrog> not sure what you mean
[16:39] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: can you disable and re enable BT and see what errors you get in journal?
[16:39] <Greenfrog> ok

[16:43] <Franciman> Hi
[16:44] <Franciman> Does anybody have an ubuntu-oem from Dell?
[16:44] <Franciman> I have noticed that the update manager shows some particular firmware updates
[16:44] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: not sure whats going there
[16:44] <Franciman> but I can't find the source of those updates
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> Greenfrog: maybe other volunteers might have ideas, freel free to re-ask
[16:45] <Greenfrog> ok thanks for your help :)
[16:47] <Greenfrog> i'm using ubuntu 20.04 trying to connect a logitech m720 bt mouse. ubuntu doesnt recognize the mouse when its in pairing mode
[16:47] <pavlos> Franciman: can you paste ... sudo apt update | nc termbin.com 9999
[16:47] <oerheks> Ubuntu offers firmware downloads and updates, fwupdate
[16:47] <oerheks> !info fwupdate
[16:49] <Greenfrog> how do i get ubuntu to recognize a bluetooth mouse in pairing mode?
[16:49] <oerheks> Greenfrog, you wrote the other one worked?
[16:50] <Franciman> pavlos, https://termbin.com/cg1v
[16:51] <Franciman> ops it's italian
[16:51] <Franciman> but ok perfect
[16:52] <Franciman> so uhm
[16:52] <pavlos> Franciman: getting updates from line 17, a repo with DELL
[16:53] <Franciman> I wanted to update to Focal Fossa
[16:53] <Franciman> but now I'm not sure whether it's worth, since I shall lose firmware
[16:53] <pavlos> you could try 20.04 in live mode to check if h/w works
[16:54] <Greenfrog> yes, here is something intresting about that
[16:54] <Franciman> what I'm scared of is that if there are some updates for the firmware
[16:54] <Franciman> I won't get them
[16:54] <Greenfrog> the mouse that works on the other computer brought it here to connect the second channel to this laptop and still bluetooth in ubuntu doesnt see the mouse
[16:55] <oerheks> Franciman, fwupdate is legit; https://fwupd.org/
[16:56] <Franciman> in fact
[16:56] <Franciman> these updates I made were from gnome-software
[16:56] <Franciman> so it's fwupdate that provided them?
[16:56] <oerheks> Yes.
[16:56] <Franciman> thank you!
[16:56] <oerheks> have fun!
[16:57] <Greenfrog> so it seems there is something amiss with this laptop's bluetooth
[16:58] <Maik> search the web for logitech m720 bt mouse on ubuntu 20.04 or your laptop brand/type maybe something shows up :)
[16:59] <Greenfrog> ok
[16:59] <Greenfrog> i'll do it again
[17:00] <oerheks> Greenfrog, make sure you use a usb 2 port, not usb 3 ( = blue)
[17:00] <Greenfrog> not sure what you mean, its a bt mouse
[17:01] <Greenfrog> normally i never change that setting
[17:02] <pavlos> Greenfrog: can you paste this, hciconfig -a
[17:02] <Greenfrog> ok
[17:03] <Greenfrog> thats alot to paste what are you looking for, or would you like me to pastebil
[17:04] <Greenfrog> pastebin?
[17:04] <pavlos> Greenfrog: is there hci0:
[17:05] <Greenfrog> yes
[17:05] <Greenfrog> type: primary bus: usb
[17:05] <isene> 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] <pavlos> Greenfrog: there should be about 20 lines for hci0:
[17:06] <j`ey> isene: the program youre piping has to emit the colours too
[17:06] <Greenfrog> nope only one
[17:06] <j`ey> grep for example has --colour=always
[17:06] <Greenfrog> next is TU: 64:1
[17:07] <isene> 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] <Greenfrog> ok mouse works on roommates computer just not this one
[17:07] <j`ey> isene: what about ls on its own?
[17:07] <pavlos> Greenfrog: https://superuser.com/questions/1520483/connecting-logitech-m720-mouse-with-bluetooth-linux-and-windows
[17:08] <j`ey> isene: try ls --color=always | less -R
[17:10] <isene> j`ey: Now that does indeed work. Maybe ls in Termux is set to ls --color=always ?
[17:11] <j`ey> isene: try `alias`
[17:13] <isene> j`ey: Bingo; ls='ls --color=yes'
[17:13] <isene> j`ey: Thanks for helping me not attack the cactus
[17:13] <j`ey> isene: np!
[17:14] <Greenfrog> using hcitool lescan does not work on this laptop set sccan parameters failed: input/output error
[17:16] <Greenfrog> is there another bluetooth command i can use in terminal to see what bluetooth is available?
[17:22] <Greenfrog> ok going to logitech
[17:43] <Coco_kid594> join #gentoo
[17:44] <Greenfrog> ok, found a stupid easy answer for the mouse bluetooth issue
[17:45] <Greenfrog> 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] <Greenfrog> problem solved :)
[17:48] <Greenfrog> weeeeeee, its working fine now :)
[17:51] <Greenfrog> i speak of myself: what a maroon :P
[19:17] <bnyspnker> Hi all, i have a problem launching an old codebase which should be started with ./startup &
[19:17] <bnyspnker> "sudo: unable to execute ./startup: No such file or directory"
[19:17] <leftyfb> bnyspnker: chmod +x startup.sh
[19:17] <bnyspnker> even though the startup file is in the same directory as i do that command
[19:17] <bnyspnker> i tried that
[19:18] <bnyspnker> it is not .sh though, simply startup
[19:18] <bnyspnker> (an old MUD codebase)
[19:18] <leftyfb> bnyspnker: you'll need to seek support from whoever manages said codebase. This really isn't an ubuntu support issue.
[19:19] <bnyspnker> Yeah they stopped development for that like 20 years ago :)
[19:19] <bnyspnker> No it is not, just wanted to check if perhaps someone knew by chance
[19:23] <eeos> hi everybody! 20.04.1 does not recognise the correct mode for external monitor .... How do I force the correct mode?
[19:25] <ioria> bnyspnker, probably a 32 bit binary ; run 'file startup' or whatever it is
[19:26] <bnyspnker> ioria it is an C application, just compiled it
[19:26] <ioria> bnyspnker, run 'file startup'
[19:26] <bnyspnker> "startup: C shell script, ASCII text executable
[19:27] <ioria> bnyspnker,  an ascii file canoot be a 'compiled' thing
[19:27] <bnyspnker> no i meant that i compiled all the .c files first
[19:27] <ioria> bnyspnker,  meaning it's not compiled (or linked)
[19:28] <ioria> bnyspnker, you compiled nothing
[19:29] <bnyspnker> 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] <ioria> bnyspnker, not the pace, sy
[19:29] <ioria> *place
[19:30] <bnyspnker> No worries, is there any good place to ask for a thing like this perhaps?
[19:30] <leftyfb> bnyspnker: try ##linux maybe?
[19:30] <ioria> bnyspnker, ##linux
[19:30] <bnyspnker> ok i will, tnx!

[19:50] <oerheks> he found out in ##linux it was a csh thingy
[19:55] <Siecje> pavlos: Thanks
[19:55] <eeos> hi everybody! 20.04.1 does not recognize the correct xorg mode for external monitor .... How do I force the correct modes? Monitor ThinkvisionP32u10
[20:00] <oerheks> eeos, how do you connect that monitor?
[20:00] <oerheks> and what is the output of 'xrandr´
[20:18] <bostongeek36> hi
[20:19] <bostongeek36> any i3 users here?

[20:53] <oerheks> clouds come and go ..
[20:54] <janisozaur> on launchpad, how can I learn the git revision using a recipe on a git project? `ls -la` shows there's no git and neither git-build-recipe nor dpkg-buildpackage mention anything about it.
[20:55] <janisozaur> "no git" was meant to read "no `.git` directory"
[21:01] <wb235> 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] <Digital_Warrior> Anyone have a few min for a question?
[21:02] <Digital_Warrior> When booting I am getting a systemd-networkd.service: start request repeated to quickly.
[21:02] <Digital_Warrior> journalctl shows
[21:02] <Digital_Warrior> systemd-networkd.service: Failed to execute command: Permission deniied
[21:02] <Digital_Warrior> systemd-netowrkd.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd:

[21:02] <Digital_Warrior> the file is owned by root:root with permissions set to -rwxr-xr-x
[21:03] <Digital_Warrior> Running 20.04 server
[21:07] <bostongeek36> wb235: you can use pulseaudio volume control to change the volume of each app independantly
[21:07] <bostongeek36> or your going deaf
[21:07] <bostongeek36> a man goes to a doctor he says doc im getting this weird buzzing i don't know where its coming from
[21:08] <bostongeek36> the doc says first of all your going blind its your cell phone
[21:08] <wb235> i should be able to change the volume in the media app itself though.. if i was going deaf it wouldn't be obviously louder in VLC vs barely audible in mpv
[21:08] <bostongeek36> pavc will do that
[21:08] <wb235> will do what?
[21:10] <wb235> 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] <jaybeers> 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] <Habbie> 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] <jaybeers> 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] <jaybeers> no big deal though, just do it again in five minutes
[21:24] <rfm> 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] <rfm> jaybeers, advantage of the proxy spec is it's really easy to turn off if needed (like the proxy machine is down)
[21:25] <jaybeers> right on
[21:29] <jaybeers> yeah, or if you control your own DNS you can just point the proxy hostname to a different host
[21:29] <jaybeers> ok, sounds like apt-cacher-ng it is :)  Thanks for the input!
