| k44 | does ubuntu use .deb or .rpm or both? | 01:48 |
| xbfrog | dont know about rpm but it can use deb | 01:48 |
| k44 | is there a distro that support both .deb and .rpm? | 01:48 |
| xbfrog | someone else will have to answer that i'm new to ubuntu | 01:49 |
| xbfrog | here is what i found: | 01:51 |
| xbfrog | Distributions like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Enterprise Linux, openSUSE, Fedora and CentOS are based on rpm, while the Debian family, including Ubuntu, Linux Mint, elementary OS are based on deb. And there are many other distributions that have their own package formats. | 01:51 |
| xbfrog | and its goodbye rpm and deb. hellow snaps | 01:52 |
| xbfrog | doesnt seem they do both | 01:52 |
| xbfrog | they=any | 01:53 |
| rfm | k44, there is the "alien" package in ubuntu that can convert an rpm to a deb, but I've heard it can't convert all packages, and often there are incompatibilies that keep the package from working | 01:53 |
| xbfrog | probably because os's have their own packaging sysems | 01:53 |
| rfm | k44, similar to installing a deb that was built for one ubuntu release on a different ubuntu release, sometimes library different versions, etc. | 01:54 |
| xbfrog | making them incompatible in some or most instances | 01:54 |
| xbfrog | thats why most helpers say update before you install a new app | 01:54 |
| xbfrog | thats also why its advised unless you know what your doing to stay with the distro's repository | 01:56 |

| HelpGrub | HELP after i installed Ubuntu 18.04.4 my BIOS disappeared, i already have the bootable USB with windows 8 but i dont have BIOS to run it. Every F1 to F12 comand just opens Grub, and i dont kneow what else to do. I just want to go back from Ubuntu to my windows 8 | 03:54 |
| derpadmin | the bios did not dissapear if you can reach the grub screen, but for some odd reason, F2 does not enter the bios as it should | 03:57 |
| tuxakadjseb | I think that your computer want to boot with a wrong hard drive. | 03:58 |
| tuxakadjseb | You can try 'Esc' ou 'F2'. | 03:58 |
| HelpGrub | ve tried all F1 to F12, ive tried with Esc button ive tried with delete and back space i restart and try with each key ive found in blogs and youtube tutorials, theres no bios | 03:59 |
| tuxakadjseb | In Grub, your keyboard works ? | 04:14 |
| monkwitdafunk | your dealing with UEFI firmware. i myself have intel firmware | 04:16 |
| monkwitdafunk | i hear the best is ami | 04:16 |
| HelpGrub | YES, KEYBOARD WORKS EBCAUSE I HAVE TRIED SOEM CODING TO RESET PASSWORD AND SO ON | 04:17 |
| HelpGrub | sorry for the caps | 04:17 |
| tuxakadjseb | ok | 04:18 |
| monkwitdafunk | im not too fluent with uefi firmware bui solved my problem by resetting the volatile memory | 04:18 |
| monkwitdafunk | im not sure if thats the best way to go by it | 04:19 |
| HelpGrub | i dont really know what that means | 04:19 |
| oerheks | you have asked in multiple channels, what have you tried sofar? | 04:19 |
| ledeni | HelpGrub just shutdown your system and boot it with pressing F2 | 04:42 |
| monkwitdafunk | ledeni: no man! HelpGrub has unified extensible firmware, which isnt the old bios from pre windows 8 | 04:44 |
| monkwitdafunk | the users firmware probably was shipped to auto ecure boot after install | 04:45 |
| monkwitdafunk | secure* | 04:45 |
| monkwitdafunk | HelpGrub: do you just have one storage device? | 04:45 |
| HelpGrub | like an external usb? | 04:46 |
| monkwitdafunk | it depends on how the firmware wants to see it as im guessing. ive only seen intel uefi with intel NUC | 04:47 |
| HelpGrub | ive tried all F comands esc and delete and back space, ive tried with and without the disk drive plugged in, ive tried from terminal to change grub setup and tried with and without the bootable usb connected | 04:47 |
| monkwitdafunk | ubuntu was one of the first distros to support eufi | 04:48 |
| monkwitdafunk | uefi* | 04:48 |
| monkwitdafunk | help.ubuntu.com | 04:48 |

| lotuspsychje | sven^: what do you mean 3 ways? | 09:13 |
| sven^ | well, you just told me 2. In addition to that there is gnome-tweaks | 09:13 |
| sven^ | so there are 3 ways to edit key bindings and they don't overlap much. For most bindings I need to check all 3 places and search which one provides the shortcut I want to change | 09:14 |
| lotuspsychje | sven^: oh, but dconf-editor is just a global tweak method of the system, not only for hotkeys right | 09:15 |

| Cheetz | Hi, I have problems with audio. I use a USB sound card on Ubuntu 20.04 and when I stream music on youtube, the sound often disappears, this happens every 3 minutes or so. Pausing the video and pressing backspace in a terminal window to cause a terminal bell sound and then unpausing the video temporarily restores audio. What can this problem be? | 14:13 |

| Habbie | funnybunny2, apt-cache search capture | grep screen | 14:14 |
| Cheetz | funnybunny2, https://github.com/dergachev/screengif | 14:14 |
| Habbie | funnybunny2, yields a bunch of results on my Debian; presumably, also on your Ubuntu | 14:14 |
| Cheetz | Check out OBS | 14:15 |
| Cheetz | OBS lets you record a specific window with a GUI, and then you can take its output video and convert it to a gif with a script that I linked above | 14:16 |
| bewees | johnjay: nvm, it seems the issue was caused by dhcpcd, not systemd-networkd | 14:26 |
| Cheetz | Anyone know how to fix issues with audio disappearing on youtube in firefox? It just goes silent every few minutes while the video keeps playing.

| pavlos | Etua: you connect as user gserious but provide identifyfile for root ? | 16:45 |
| Etua | pavlos: Here is how I understand it, I connect to user gserious at 192.168.100.100 but use RSA key that is stored in root's directory as fstab mounts by default belong to root anyway(?). I can successfully perform 'sudo ssh gserious@192.168.100.100 -p 8798' so I thought that translating it to fstab entry should be no problem. | 16:49 |
| pavlos | Etua: my line: user@u18s:/home/user/pub /mnt/pub fuse.sshfs _netdev,defaults,identityfile=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa 0 0 username=user, u18s is ubuntu18server | 16:50 |
| Etua | pavlos: I think that it is similar to mine, why do you have 'username=...'? I tries adding it in-between other options like identityfile or after 0 0 and in both places I get an error about unrecognised option. | 16:57 |
| pavlos | Etua: oh, that was my explanation hence the many spaces, I should have put # | 16:58 |
| pavlos | Etua: my line: user@u18s:/home/user/pub /mnt/pub fuse.sshfs _netdev,defaults,identityfile=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa 0 0 | 16:59 |
| Etua | pavlos: Thank you for the explentation, then I don't understand what may be wrong. I don't get an explicit message eg. that RSA has been rejected, just debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password | 17:02 |

| jayjo | how can a workstation double as an always-on server? I know I can just keep the machine on. But what if I logged in remotely and did a 'reboot', it would be stuck at the login screen. Can I enable the machine to run always, but only require logins for the interactive desktop session? | 20:44 |
| reversedelta | it already is an always-on server, as long as your services are managed by systemd. | 20:46 |
| reversedelta | the computer boots, systemd starts your stuff. what exactly are you looking to do? | 20:46 |
| jayjo | Exactly that. Everything is using systemd, for example docker containers. I just wanted to make sure cronjobs and other services were always available | 20:50 |
| matsaman | jayjo: just make sure your remote login stuff works from a just-booted state, that is a thing | 20:50 |
| reversedelta | I haven't worked with Docker, but if systemd can start it, you should be good. I'd test if it I were you. Enable SSHd in case you need to intervene. | 20:52 |
| matsaman | a lot of things, like VNC, should really be done over SSH anyway, for security, at least if you're doing it across the internet (and not just within your own local network) | 20:54 |
| reversedelta | of course. tunnel everything if you can. use Mozilla's SSHd_config recommendations to secure the one port that should be open to the world. Disable SSH over IPv4 if you have the luxury, as that will cut down on automated port scans, too. | 20:56 |
| tomreyn | jayjo: you may need to ensure it won't switch to a low power state from which you cannot wake it up remotely. but if it's not running on battery but wall plug it probably won't anyway. | 20:56 |
| tomreyn | stable internet access and either dyndns or static ip addressing would also be relevant. | 20:57 |
