I observed the print is reahcing the queue but not getting printed out. The job stays in the queue till we forcefully clear this. Any idea what could be the issue ? [07:53] hi ubuntu people. I have this problem https://askubuntu.com/questions/162391/how-do-i-fix-my-locale-issue [07:53] it's happening every time I install kubuntu but from looking at the question, it happens on ubuntu as well [07:53] why is it happening? It's been doing this since at least 18.04 [07:54] gonna try this kernel https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-tip/2020-09-29/, will be back soon in hope of someone who can help me fix this issue [07:54] and almost a million people have viewed that question so a lot of people have it too [07:54] Where can I find crashlogs? [07:56] voicu: the easiest way is to install the language pack for your language [07:58] voicu: e.g. apt install language-pack-en-base [08:02] mgedmin: I fixed it but I'm asking why is this happening every time I install ubuntu. Is the problem that I don't have that language pack? [08:02] if so, why is not installed then [08:03] I cannot answer; I've never used kubuntu [08:03] and it was installed already [08:03] it doesn't happen for me with stock ubuntu [08:03] voicu: okay, can you please pastebin the output of `locale`? [08:04] "locale is not supported" can have two causes: either you specified the locale incorrectly, or the locale was not compiled on your system [08:04] mgedmin: https://pastebin.com/PXbGdbZ8 [08:04] Is btrfs as reliable in Ubuntu 20.04 as ext4 ? [08:04] (rant: why doesn't ubuntu preinstall locales-all? surely disk space isn't that precious in 2020) [08:05] mgedmin: yeah, that's kinda my point. Install everything that's needed but don't make me fix locales every time I set up kubuntu. It's so frustrating [08:05] voicu: en_SE is not a real locale? [08:05] I dunno, but that's not what causes the problem [08:06] it's LC_ALL and the others that are not set at all [08:06] with every fresh install [08:06] what do you think the problem is? to me, the problem is "locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory" [08:06] which is caused by LC_CTYPE in the environment being set to en_SE.UTF-8 [08:07] whereas gnu libc doesn't know about a locale called 'en_SE' [08:07] well what is the default locale? [08:07] there's no en_SE in /usr/share/i18n/locales/, which contains the locale sources [08:07] the 'default locale' is determined by your environment [08:07] for every facet there are three environment variables that specify it [08:07] ok but I never set any of it. It's just what happens when I setup the os [08:07] I assume it's because I live in Sweden [08:07] LC_ALL; if that's not set, then LC_xxx for the specific facet, then finally if that's not set, there's the fallback to LANG [08:08] I don't know why your environment has LC_CTYPE set to en_SE.UTF-8 [08:08] does that come from /etc/environment? /etc/default/locale? your ~/.profile? something else? [08:09] I think from /etc/default/locale [08:09] did you edit that file manually? [08:09] or did the installer write an invalid locale value there? [08:09] I edited now to add LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" [08:10] but it says at the top that it's autogenerated [08:10] for me it says "# File generated by update-locale" [08:11] yea [08:11] which is more of a statement of "who touched this file last", and not an admonishment not to edit it manually [08:11] and every time I install kubuntu, I have this problem, I go online, I try update-locale, it doesn't fix it, I find another thing, and so on [08:11] I suppose sudo update-locale LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 is easier/more convenient than sudo vi /etc/default/locale [08:11] is there some way to get this problem fixed from the start? [08:12] it is starting to sound like a kubuntu installer bug to me? [08:12] if it generates an /etc/default/locale with invalid values in it [08:12] so the way to get it fixed is to report a bug [08:13] I was thinking that [08:14] I just don't know what this is supposedly a bug of [08:36] voicu please do not cross post the next time [08:37] Hello, I'm tryting to install Kubuntu on my laptop from an external CR ROM writer / reader which is connected via USB to my computer. I'm able to boot on kubuntu, but this last doesn't detect my laptop disk. When I run "fdisk -l", I can only see the CDROM disk space. Then, of course, the installer tells me that there is not enough place available. [08:37] Any idea ? Thanks [08:41] I just did a distro upgrade from 18.04.1 LTS (I think) to 20.04.1 LTS. It disabled a repository I installed for my printer (https://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/". I reenabled the repository after booting into the new distro version. When I ran sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade it suggests uninstalling all the files I installed for the printer as no longer necessary. What do I do? [08:42] can you pastebin the full output from `sudo apt upgrade`? [08:43] from your description it's not clear to me if apt thinks those packages were auto-installed and can now be auto-removed, or if they conflict with something else in your system and therefore apt wants to remove them [08:43] in the first case you can mark them as manually installed and apt will no longer suggest autoremovals [08:43] the simplest way of doing that is 'sudo apt install packagename ...' for the packages [08:43] in the second case things may be harder [08:44] (I don't suppose getting a printer that doesn't require 3rd-party drivers is an option for you?) [08:45] mgedmin: https://pastebin.com/2pLY8auW [08:45] No, its not a conflict error. [08:46] right, then the simple solution will work [08:46] although it's strange to me, how are these autoinstalled packages? [08:46] was there an additional package that pulled them in and then got removed during the upgrade, leaving these? [08:47] how do I mark them as manually installed? [08:47] mgedmin: I do not know. [08:47] like I said, 'sudo apt install suld-driver-4.01.17' and such [08:49] mgedmin: That worked perfectly, thank you. [08:49] the big question is: does the printer work? [08:49] I misunderstood the message from apt, I presumed it was obsolete and refused to install it. [08:50] Indeed... Let me try a test page ont he two printers. [09:20] mgedmin: Thought you would like to know... both printers work perfectly :-) [09:20] nice [09:43] after ltsupgrade bionic to fossa, i purged both hplip from repos and latest hplip, as bionic didnt recognize my hp. now installing hplip clean again gives me outgreyed hplip icons and a launch errors, also simple-scan doesnt want to detect scanner; https://dpaste.com/98GVXX8BM === leden__ is now known as leden [10:03] \msg owler hello [10:03] Hi all! I'm trying to find a way to track which programm starts another program. My use case is that I have some program that adds an iptables entry and I would love to know which it is. [10:03] The host is managed by puppet and every 30 minutes it removes a tcp/9001 iptables entry. For months now I've been trying to find out which program it is. [10:03] I thought of some form of permanent tracing for an incovation of iptables itself?! Would love to get some ideas on this [10:15] moritzdietz: wow, what an interesting problem! this should be possible, assuming the rule is added by running iptables and not by making syscalls directly [10:15] Ha! good point [10:15] moritzdietz: I know that atop can track what programs were launched (apt install atop and it runs as a daemon that takes system state snapshots every 10 minutes; sudo atop -r lets you browse them with t/T keys) [10:15] I have no idea and it's driving me nuts. We have this on ~400 SLES servers [10:15] I don't recall if atop's list of processes that ran and exited shows the PPID [10:16] Good idea using atop recording [10:16] probably there are better-suited tools for this (sysstat? I don't really know) [10:17] strace and dtrace maybe?! [10:20] I don't think dtrace is available for linux, but there are equivalent tools [10:20] anyone been having problems with corrupted displays after waking from sleep for chromium-based applications (electron + chrome) [10:20] strace is not a system-wide solution [10:21] mhh [10:21] dtrace should be available for linux though [10:23] moritzdietz: You could write an auditd rule to track exec's [10:25] I like that idea [10:25] I have heard of autitd but haven't used it [10:26] Time to learn :) [10:26] wondering if this could catch direct syscalls [10:26] if iptables is not invoked [10:27] but yeah time to learn \o/ === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [11:08] Hi!

[12:18] Luistro_, how did you install said package ? [12:27] Someone else might know better than me, but my experience is that you should avoid installing with dpkg because of dependencies. When I made this mistake, I was able to uninstall either using dpkg or apt remove. After that I installed using apt install ./package.deb. This worked much better.

I have tried etcher, native app in ubuntu and woeusb. I was able to make a bootable zorinos usb, but every time it doesn't work with windows. [13:07] Anyone on here have Xfinity for their service provider and use Xfinity stream on their computer/laptop? How are you doing it? They seem to have something in place that prevents Linux machines from using the Stream service. [13:08] I've tried changing the user agent in Chrome, but that doesn't seem to work. [13:09] WaV, not using a vpn ? [13:09] No vpn [13:09] ok [13:09] WaV, are you using an ISP supplied router ? [13:10] Yes [13:10] WaV: that is unlikely [13:10] do you have access to router firmware? [13:10] I should mention that I can use the streaming services on the same network by using a Windows laptop [13:10] <[1997kB]> native ubuntu app = startup disk creator * [13:11] I do not have a router of my own BluesKaj [13:11] I am using the wireless gateway provded to me by my ISP [13:12] BluesKaj: the firmware? no. Access to change the settings, yes. [13:12] yes, but you should be able to make DNS changes in the router usually the gateway IP is sufficient to access it [13:13] If I did change the DNS, that wouldn't really explain why the Windows computer works fine, no? [13:13] or both my iPhones for that matter. [13:13] hmm, I missed that [13:15] Xfinity actively blocks connections from Linux machines, and I was trying to see if anyone has a successful work-around apart from setting up a virtual machine. [13:16] Well, not xfinity as a whole... just their streaming service. [13:16] so this a known "feature"...how nice of them [13:17] yes, I guess you could say that [13:17] I guess they belong to school of thought that linux users are hackers [13:17] but android streams ok , right? [13:18] I do not have any android devices to test that theory, but it appears to be supported. [13:21] Hey WaV. You are talking about watching streaming video using your browser? It is always possible to use an add-on that tells the website you are using windows. [13:21] assuming I understood correctly [13:22] jonnj: Yes. Have you tried this? I have tried changing the user agent to Windows - Google Chrome already. [13:23] ah ok [13:23] well it was just a suggestion. i have done this in the past, but not for watching streaming video and not recently. [13:24] Understood [13:24] WaV, did you restart chrome after making user agent change?...I have to ask [13:25] BluesKaj: no, I didn't because if I do the user agent reverts back to default. [13:25] bummer [13:27] https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent [13:28] johnj: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36 [13:29] I've got kept-back packages. I've tried "apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade" but it just lists them and it does not install them. What do I do? [13:30] 18.04.5 [13:30] you might be able to ignore them. [13:31] i have one kept-back package at the moment. it is because if it updates 64-bit it also wants to update 32-bit and there might not be a 32-bit package available. [13:31] midow, wait til the packages are available for install, there's a reason they're being held back [13:31] there are probably solutions to this though [13:33] The following packages have been kept back: libodbc1 [13:33] I don't really need a more up-to-date version of ODBC. [13:46] BluesKaj, seems odd. I think they've been in this state for months [13:46] and it is always the same packages [13:47] perhaps this could be caused by 3rd party repos? [13:47] or ppas [13:51] it is always possible track down the specific packages. you also might be able to "fix" the version, essentially hiding the warning. i don't remember exactly how to do this. there are always potential risks doing this because you may miss important updates. [13:54] hello, I'm running server 20.04 and I cannot use my HDMI outlet in my machine (Raspberry Pi) anymore. How can I re-enable it? I still am able to reach it via SSH, though [13:55] alternatively, is this better asked in #raspberrypi? [13:55] palimaar, what configuration did you change / command did you run to disable the HDMI output? [13:56] (e.g. the tvservice command is capable of disabling the HDMI port, in such a way that typically only a reboot will bring it back) [13:56] waveform: nothing. Simply rebooted it and the outlet stopped working [13:56] outlets*, as there are two and neither work [13:57] I don't exactly remember installing or changing anything specifically, though I did reboot due to a kernel upgrade [13:58] hmmm, is there any way you can rule out a dodgy cable? e.g. testing it on another pi? (I've certainly had problems with micro-HDMI converters on the new models) [13:58] fair enough, I can't rule out that completely, since the cable is fine, but the only thing that uses that adapter is this pi [13:59] so I can't test it with anything else [13:59] or testing another SD card with a fundamentally install, like Raspbian - i.e. if the display fails on that too, most likely a hardware issue; if that works then we're looking at some configuration issue [13:59] fundamentally *different - sorry [14:03] ok, I can try that later when I have access to it again [14:03] trying to install conntrack and conntrackd on 18.04 and it fails with E: Unable to locate package conntrack E: Unable to locate package conntrackd, although those seem to be available in launchpad? [14:03] curious, though, what configs affect the video output in that way? anything in /etc? [14:03] palimaar: you might have better luck in #raspberrypi [14:04] thanks leftyfb, wasn't sure about it [14:06] midow, if you're feeling adventurous then do: sudo apt dist-upgrade [14:07] palimaar, there's quite a few things that can affect video output in the boot configuration (i.e. /boot/firmware/config.txt on ubuntu, /boot/config.txt on raspbian); at a basic level there's stuff like hdmi_mode, hdmi_group, hdmi_driver, etc. - and installing a kernel does write to the boot partition (though flash-kernel should never be touching config.txt) [14:08] palimaar, there's not much in /etc that affects the HDMI output quite so directly, but there are potential some things; e.g. flash-kernel bakes certain cmdline parameters taken from files in /etc/ into the u-boot script that gets run as part of the boot sequence, and the kernel cmdline on the pi ultimately ends with things like framebuffer parameters in it so ... it's possible to break HDMI output that way I suppose [14:10] palimaar, still - one other thing to check for debugging purposes: do you see the "rainbow" screen at the start of the boot sequence? If so, your HDMI cable is fine and it's definitely a config issue; if you don't I'd lean heavily towards a hardware issue at that point as that's generated long before the kernel starts [14:11] (although it's still possible to break the configuration so that doesn't display - but that's a firmware configuration issue, not a kernel one) [14:12] BluesKaj, did, and it does not change anything [14:12] I did* [14:12] thanks waveform, I'll take a look into these.. did see /boot/config.txt in raspbian forums, but couldn't find them in Ubuntu. I'll start under /boot/firmware and see about it [14:13] but no, I don't see the boot sequence at all. Maybe it's another clue that my adapter needs rechecking [14:14] midow, you mentioned ppas, do you have any in /etc/apt/sources.list.d? [14:15] palimaar, okay - if there's absolutely nothing on the screen I'd certainly lean heavily towards the adapter / screen itself - if those both checkout then it *must* be something in config.txt (or one of the files mentioned in there) as that the only configuration that applies to the firmware at that stage [14:16] BluesKaj, seems like 10 [14:19] probly should purge them except for chrome and spotify if you have those...ppas should be removed after installing associated packages since the next kernel upgrade could break your system [14:19] <[1997kB]`> hey, I just applied an update and settings and livepatch are not opening. [14:19] how am I supposed to get updates for those packages if I remove the ppas? [14:20] (also, this is a server) [14:21] midow, ppas eventually get into the regular repos when they're stable enough [14:24] that is simply not true [14:27] small footprint ubuntu based distro - i know this could be like going into a mcdonalds and asking where the nearest wendys is, but i'm looking for a distro based on ubuntu but without too much application software, maybe just firefox. it is for a VM. i tried puppy ubuntu yesterday and was totally unimpressed. [14:27] thanks waveform! [14:28] midow: which ppa's do you have on a server? BluesKaj is not completely wrong when it comes to ppa's that typically get added to servers. Most ppa's added to servers are to get later versions of server applications on their server. === [1997kB]`4 is now known as [1997kB]` [14:41] Hi, can you advice ?

[14:49] thanks jpds [14:49] this a screenshot of http://i.imgur.com/DjcqW4H.png [14:49] so i think the hard locks i've been experiencing are GPU related, i was sure that ssh access would be frozen as well but it wasn't, [14:49] what packages invokes apache2 as deps [14:50] i was able to restart gdm and i saw some error logs about graphics when i did that [14:51] XATRIX: apt rdepends apach2 [14:51] XATRIX: apt rdepends apache2 [14:52] jonnj: Personally, I use qubes-os.org and run Firefox inside VMs on that [14:52] i have a little experience with php. usually when you install it goes with the current stable version. at one point i had installed 7.0. later 7.2 came along and i wasn't paying close attention. it mostly removed my 7.0 when updating. there is a PPA for php that is better suited if you wish to run parallel versions of php. each version can listen on its own socket. [14:52] exit [14:53] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php [14:54] this was a while back and it might have been centos at the time so i'm not really sure what current ubuntu does.

Distributor ID: Neon [16:11] Description: KDE neon User Edition 5.19 [16:11] I'm completely unfamiliar with KDE and Neon stuffs. :( [16:11] I think I did a wrong move upgrading to Neon. I didn't it was going to upgrade the whole os. [16:12] I'm just a noobie Ubuntu user that sticked with default Ubuntu Gnome [16:12] stuck* [16:13] Okay [16:14] drupol: I dont see "core20" in snap list, I see core18 [16:14] pavlos: I upgraded to 20.04 [16:43] My system keeps crashing because it is running out of memory. I think the problem stems from me having too many windows open, firefox being e memory hog, and the installer giving me a tiny swap partition. What can I do? Also, why doesn't ubuntu handle this better? [16:48] jjbuggle, How much RAM you got? [16:48] akem: 12g [16:49] jjbuggle, It must be a memory leak bug in one of the drivers. [16:49] akem: I'm not familiar with that. Is there a fix for that? [16:50] open up a system monitor tool and see what is hogging all your RAM. that would be the first step [16:51] I mean, part of the issue was the default amount of swap, which was 1g. Then it went up to 2 at some point. Normally I would do at least 10g if I were setting things myself, but I had bought a new sdd, and I didn't know how to do the partitioning. So I needed to go with Ubuntu's defauluts [16:51] jjbuggle, It should not happens with 12 GB RAM ofc. You gotta looks for your hardware...It could be the Wifi, i had this problem...or something else. [16:52] ThinkT510: like I said, it is a combo of me leaving lot's of tabs open, and firefox using lot's of memory [16:52] does it crash when you're not using firefox? sounds to me it might be one of those tabs or maybe some add-on [16:53] One struggle for me is that it get's away from me. I get no warning, and then 1 too many tabs, and my computer has to swap memory for 5-10 minutes before it finally makes some program crash. Annd once it starts swapping, the gui locks up as well, so I can't just close a tab [16:54] You're on which Ubuntu version? [16:54] Just wondering [16:54] 18.04 [16:54] how may tabs does one have to have open that ends up taking almost 12gb. like akem said, there is a leak somewhere [16:54] jjbuggle, How many tabs you run? [16:55] I personally run about 50+ tabs using Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, so I don't know how you're able to crash your Ubuntu like that. And I have 8GB of RAM [16:55] so yeah, it has to be some memory leak going on [16:56] weird. I have maybe 1.5 dozen windows with a few tabs in each [16:56] ok, about 28 windows, 1-5 tabs each [16:56] you have 18 instances of firefox open? why? [16:57] not a fan of bookmarks? [16:58] I feel like netflix does memory leak. Like if I don't close the window that netflix was using, even though the netflix page was closed, the memory get's saved [16:59] that does sound like the likely culprit [17:10] what is the best way to check for ddos on ubuntu? [17:10] like if a vps is being attacked by a ddos attcked currently [17:10] whats the best command? [17:17] ComputerTech: contact the VPS provider [17:17] other than that [17:17] i mean command line [17:18] ComputerTech: look at tcpdump. Other than that, this is way beyond the scope of this support channel. Maybe try #ubuntu-security [17:19] ComputerTech: your best bet is to contact the VPS provider [17:19] ok thanks ;) [17:32] leftyfb, for example, recent versions of php which will never get added to my lts ubuntu [17:43] how do i watch amazon prime? [17:49] egrain: https://amazon.com/video [17:52] leftyfb, doesn't work on ubunt. says problem with playing the video. the play drm thing in firefox is enabled. installed flashplugin-installer even, didn't work. [17:53] egrain: what version of ubuntu? [17:53] 20.04. [17:53] freshly installed a few days ago. === thebiffman__ is now known as thebiffman [17:57] everytime Ubuntu 20.04 comes off screensaver i get notification printer added any way to stop this? [18:04] Stop the development! There will be a Thunderbird 68.12.1 and 78.3.2 to fix unexpected updating to 78 from 68. Not that we can update unexpectedly unless we have installed from Thunderbird. [18:05] I love Thunderbird [18:06] egrain: sudo apt instal ubuntu-restricted-extras # then close and restart firefox [18:07] leftyfb, thanks, i'll try that. [18:17] leftyfb, thanks, that worked. [18:29] just looking to be pointed in the right direction. I need to download a massive amount of images from the terminal using vastly different URLs. I would like to set up a file with all the URLs in it (probably plaintext) then feed it to a script where Ubuntu will wget each link one by one through the file. Would I need to set up some kind of loop? [18:43] i am trying to install battle of wesnoth and pango has lots of different things i can install [18:43] waht do i need to get so i can play the game [19:02] get it on steam [19:02] then you download it from steam [19:02] then you play it through the Steam app [19:03] This method is OS-independent [19:04] bostongeek36: sudo apt install wesnoth [19:06] question. when installing a new raw hard drive (vm) what methods do you guys perfer. fdisk & LVM & mkfs. or just lvm & mkfs? === howell_ is now known as howell [19:32] Running Ubuntu as a virtual machine with Virtualbox. After it does its disk checking, I'm brought to a black screen with a blinking cursor; it hangs at this point. I am able to switch to another tty, thought. Why won't I get a GUI installer screen? [19:33] s/thought/thoguh [19:33] s/thought/though [19:37] strive: is this on Windows? [19:37] strive: install VirtualBox 6.0, not 6.1 [19:37] leftyfb: Yes. Will do. Thanks. [19:39] leftyfb: I'm guessing there's something buggy in 6.1. [19:47] strive: ive never got linux to run in a vm [19:48] strive: can you type anything in? [19:49] strive: also make sure you didn't download the server version that only has a cli [19:51] bostongeek36: I JUST read that running WSL (Ubuntu) will not allow virtualbox to use virtualization! [19:51] strive: wsl is like a vm [19:51] so running a vm in a vm [19:52] strive: yeah, you need to disable their hyperv stuff in order to run Virtualbox [19:52] No no. I've already got Ubuntu running with WSL. Since WSL is already using VT-x, I am unable to use Virtualbox. [19:52] right [19:52] disable that [19:53] leftyfb: For sure. I'm glad I came across this. I'm tinkering around with this stuff. [19:53] wsl 2 is where its at [19:53] Thanks. [19:53] thats native linux [19:53] well kinda [19:53] bostongeek36: it's still a VM [19:53] leftyfb: really [19:54] I'd rather have full control over the vm. [19:54] i thought it used MS linux kernel? [19:54] bostongeek36: right, in a VM [19:54] weird [19:54] why not just run it on the hardware [19:56] That's what I thought. [19:56] I suppose that I could put more research in on it. [20:00] yes its a vm running on hyper-v [20:00] which is odd cuz it could be native code [20:00] Hi All [20:00] oli_b: hello [20:25] exit [20:41] help [20:41] how do I disable unauthorized thunderbolt device message? [20:42] yes the thunderbolt device is unauthorized, but the thunderbolt port is broken.... [20:42] it disconnects randomly and reconnects every minute or so... [20:43] the notification is driving me nuts :< [21:05] hello. how can i check if my fuse supports FUSE_PASSTHROUGH ? [21:05] EvilKittyBoi: can you share the full message (textually, or a screenshot), and provide some context? which ubuntu version are you running? [21:06] EvilKittyBoi: why are you plugging anything into a broken port? [21:06] leftyfb, it's the only port I have left :< [21:07] tomreyn, Unauthorize thunderbolt device, new device has been inserted and neeeds to be authorized by an administrator [21:07] the thing dissapears before I can screenshot it, ubuntu 20.04 [21:08] I just want to disable that message because the port is broken.... it just pops and pops and pops [21:08] and whats broken about the port? [21:09] what isn't, exposed wires, leds acting up, flex in the circuits... [21:09] garbage laptop... >:( [21:09] I duct taped it together and that's the only way to charge the thing [21:11] I know ubuntu is doing the right thing, the message should pop up... but there's no much I can do until I get a new laptop and the notification disturbs me :( [21:11] i suspect this is actually a matter of reconfiguring your bios [21:15] looks like you should be able to use boltctl to change the security mode to "none", which enables dma attacks via this port [21:16] boltctl enroll --policy auto DEVICE [21:16] tomreyn, how do I do that...?... well who cares, data transfer doesn't work :D [21:17] what's my device? [21:17] i guess you can't fix broken hardware in software [21:17] "boltctl list" should tell the device, also dmesg [21:17] I mean not a security concern if the data transfer oesn't work [21:17] I can see them but not an id I can use [21:18] there's an uuid [21:19] Got a weird ssh problem: I can ssh to box A from B, but from C, I get debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-ed25519 blen 51 \n Connection closed by 10.15.152.201 port 22 [21:20] So, I successfully auth, and then it just closes. I'm ssh'ing as root with a key, so the home dir is there, and if it was the bashrc or something then host B wouldn't get there [21:20] is there a way I can disable the dock tomreyn I am getting glitches now as the port connects and disconnects due to the hardware issue, and ubuntu tries to get all the USB devices in the dock and possible screens and network [21:21] I just want it to ignore and just charge [21:21] this is better nevertheless so tanks a lot :) [21:24] Oh, I think it's access.conf [21:32] Can I set DNS to something else, temporarily using command line? I use network manager applet [21:38] systemd-resolve --interface=INTERFACE --set-dns=SERVER [21:39] or you just create multiple NM profiles and juggle them around [21:45] tomreyn: if I use systemd-resolve, would that supercede nm? [21:45] temporarily, i would think. haven't tried. [21:45] Unfortunately, I also have resolveconf package installed. Would that supercede systemd-reoslve? === Hash is now known as High [21:50] read systemd-resolved.service(8) [21:50] tomreyn: what is that (8) I see alot? [21:50] like wg(8) [21:51] section 8 of the man page [21:51] !man [21:51] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [22:02] I'm adding a drive with Win10 to an Ubuntu desktop. Do I need to install any boot loader? Or will they figure each other out? [22:16] backthen, most likely your current boot device will boot Ubuntu. You might have to re-run grub-install for Windows to show up. [22:17] this may be a silly question but, the other day I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer for some MS fonts and now, it seems to have taken the place of other fonts that I used for specific icons (ie, in my i3 bar or term). If I use i3blocks pango markup, specify the "Icons" font set, they show correctly. However in terminals etc. they still don't. How can I specify the "order" to check fonts? or maybe, just move [22:17] the MS fonts to the end of theline? [22:19] hey there .. I'm looking for a debug symbols package for /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so . I followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages but to no avail [22:24] lordcirth: should I install Grub before I plug in the new Win10 drive? [22:25] Rush: the command you run and the unexpected output is? and your ubuntu release and architecture are? [22:25] tomreyn: ubuntu 19.10, `find-dbgsym-packages /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so` and also I tried lookig for package libgl1-mesa-dri-dbgsym and libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg [22:26] backthen, if you are running a normal Ubuntu install, you already have grub. And rescanning before you put the drive in won't do anything [22:26] !19.10 | Rush [22:26] Rush: Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) was the 31st release of Ubuntu, support ended July 2020. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-July/005494.html [22:26] ubottu: thank you. Upgrade is on TODO list [22:26] on my TODO list [22:27] upgrade first, this may fix this and many other problems [22:28] tomreyn: I'll do it if I run out of options, thanks [22:29] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so is part of the libgl1-mesa-dri package. append "-dbgsym" and you have the debug symbols. [22:30] tomreyn: apt get updatesE: Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-dri-dbgsym [22:30] ups, sorry for pasting apt get update :) I am debugging which repos it's reading ... [22:31] well, get a supported release and we can support you. [22:32] Currently my DNS is set to 192.168.1.1 . What does that mean? My router handles DNS? [22:33] lordcirth: ok. So after plug in win10 disk, I do a 'sudo apt grub-install'? [22:34] leibniz[m]: if that's your router, yes. most home routers will relay, and cache, dns requests. [22:37] backthen, no, the package is already installed; you may need to re-run grub-install. But try without it first [22:37] tomreyn: I have another server with Ubuntu 20.04, I'll recreate my environment there and I managed to install the debug symbols [22:38] thank you for your help! I will pay closer attention to EOL going forward [22:38] I should probably stick to LTS versions [22:44] tomreyn:` systemd-resolve -i enp0s25 --set-dns=` was this permenant? [22:44] Also I don't see any changes. [22:45] I mean firefox or terminal, still use the default dns [22:45] what you pasted above does not set a new SERVER value? [22:46] temporarily, i would think. haven't tried. [22:46] so i'm just guessing this may work, and works this way. [22:47] tomreyn: it needs admin permission. on sudo it returns nothing [22:47] how to check if it worked? [22:48] when i do ls -la on my machine, it pauses at the end of ls for a fraction of a second - any ideas why? [22:48] its actuall a second [22:50] leibniz[m]: systemd-resolve --status [22:50] you may need to --flush-caches [22:51] geosmile: ls is immediate but ls -l takes 1sec at the end? [22:53] tomreyn: I found the issue. I was setting the wrong interface enp0s25 instead of wlp [22:53] Still systemd-resolve --status doesn't show my set DNS IP [22:53] but Firefox now works [22:53] Annnnd... my Unbuntu box running iSCSI targets is allllll kinds of screwed up :-( [22:54] ctrlbreak: :)) sorry [22:54] I don't understand. I'm wondering if some recent update broke it... but I can't seem to remember how I set it up. [22:56] From my notes, I installed 'targetcli-fb' and then 'systemctl enabled target', but now they don't even appear on the box?!? [22:56] This has me so stressed out I feel like I'm going to snap. === ianychoi_ is now known as ianychoi [23:02] tomreyn: Thanks. Just rebooted. It was temporary. [23:03] I'm affected by bug Bug #1871268, which makes installer crash if I chose to install 3rd party drivers and have invidia. The issue only happens on my laptop. I'm wondering if there is an older image of 20.04 or has this been happening from the original image published by ubuntu? Also, If I try to install without ticking the install 3rd party drivers during the installation, is it easy to install them after the install? [23:03] bug 1871268 in glibc (Ubuntu) "Installation fails with Could not configure 'libc6:i386'. , E:Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libgcc-s1:i386'" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1871268 [23:04] I'm trying to get ubuntu installed on my hp spectre 2020 laptop. Thank you. [23:06] dr`venom: as long as you won't require them for internet access, it should be easy adding those drivers later on. [23:06] dr`venom: Easy after install: ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' - worth a try and see if a positive result. [23:07] ok, I'll try to install it without 3rd party and see if it works. [23:07] you were using a pre-release image of xubuntu 20.04 to install. [23:07] 20.04.1 is current [23:07] No, I'm using the image I downloaded today from the ubuntu website. [23:07] Checksum checks out. [23:08] sorry, not you were using a pre-release image, but the person who reported the bug. [23:08] oh, I see. I guess it also still happens with the final version. [23:09] yes, i guess so, too [23:09] tomreyn: I have this VPN installed but it auto-starts on boot. I even did systemctl disable service. rebooted, but the service is active. how? [23:10] It has an entry in /etc/init.d if it means anything [23:12] everytime ubuntu 20.04 comes out of screensaver it says printer added. is there a way to turn this notification off? [23:13] leibniz[m]: maybe you wanted to mask, not disable, but you should be getting support from whoever provides this software. [23:13] cant, hp wont suport the software that is theirs [23:14] they said linux was mature enough to support their own [23:14] and the printer software doesnt come from canonical [23:14] comes from hp [23:16] xbfrog: I'm trying https://askubuntu.com/a/921289 ... not sure if it works yet [23:16] thank you for any help :) [23:20] I think I'm seriously going to have a breakdown here... nothing is making sense!?! [23:22] ctrlbreak: this is a support channel. If you'd like help, please detail your exact issue. Preferably with error messages/logs. Also the details of the OS you're running any models of any hardware you're having issues with. [23:22] I just shut down open-iscsi.service (systemctl disable)... which is what I assumed was providing iSCSI service. [23:22] ctrlbreak: ' dpkg -l targetcli-fb ' says "ii" for the status ? [23:22] but I'm still listening on :3260 on multiple adapters... [23:23] <_riz_> is there a commandline installer for 20.04 desktop? I need to install a remote server and I only have serial console. I've already got the live CD booted, and I have a CLI. I've been told I do need "desktop" and not "server" for OpenZFS. [23:23] Correct: ii targetcli-fb 2.1.43-1 all Command shell for managing the Linux LIO kernel target [23:24] how do I install 3rd party software after install?

[23:30] _riz_: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso [23:35] <_riz_> pavlos: No idea whether tasksel would be enough. (I assume you mean "install the server version from cli, then use tasksel to get desktop") I was hoping to be able to follow a "standard" install since so much linux documentation assumes you're doing a particular thing a particular way, and learning about how to do it differently involves a lot of errors and never knowing if it's "right" [23:36] <_riz_> I was hoping to be able to run the standard installer - which I just realized I can probably do with X forwarding - what's the name of the installer binary? [23:36] <_riz_> (so I can launch it via cli)
