[01:49] kdenlive [01:50] is there something on linux that can read the properties of windows desktop shortcuts? [01:52] on ubuntu, trying to find something like that [01:52] text editor is a no go [02:06] the fact that i choosed Iran(Tehran) as timezone (without installing any language packs or anything like that) doesn't mean i want month/weekday names in Arabic script Azeri. [02:07] it makes the output of the date command a bunch of diamonds. [02:08] it is ruining tmux. [02:08] how could i turn it off? [02:11] date output: جۆمعه آخشامی ۰۱ اوْکتوْبر ۲۰، ساعات ۰۵:۳۶:۳۴ (+0330)‬ [02:12] and it is only the time stuff that is affected and it is not even the correct language. [02:19] untakenstupidnic: time and date in the wrong language? Edit your locale [02:20] LC_ALL is "" actually. [02:24] untakenstupidnic: What does the output of "locale" show? [02:25] rypervenche, https://termbin.com/5v09 [02:27] It makes no sense to localize stuff without anyone telling you anything about it. Also it makes zero sense when you flip the whole UI when somebody chooses a right-to-left language. Just for programmers' information. [02:30] untakenstupidnic: LC_TIME governs the formatting used for date and time values. If you only want to change your timezone, then you don't want this set. === leonardus_ is now known as leonardus [03:16] i have set 2 profiles in apparmor to complain mode. when i activate the app where do i see the complain mode comments? [03:17] is that in checking status? [04:09] hi guys could anyone explain what a loop & loopback device in linux is, with easy to explain analogy/example please-from what i can make out its an interface setup so that you can test manage the interface eg wifi network but not sure how that goes with a hd? [04:10] loopback h as nothing to do with the hard drive [04:12] so is it only to do with networking [04:13] that doesn't sound like a ubuntu related issue at all [04:14] how about /dev/loop0 and /dev/loop2;3;4;5;6 what should i read about to understand what that is please? [04:14] fair call tatertots soz [04:28] loopback device - in the linux/unix world a file can also act like a block device. in other words, a hard disk. of course it doesn't happen automatically. you have to create a mapping from the file to a specific device. once you do that, you can use the file as a device/hard disk. [04:30] ok i just googled loopback device and it is talking about networks so maybe the terminology is different for a block device. [04:30] actually i am getting a mixture of both definitions [04:31] the concept is similar for block devices and networks [05:19] my Tor browser doesn't launch in 20.04.1 [05:19] what is wrong with it? [06:27] marcoagpinto, another channel bud [06:28] that is what they told me on the bugs channel [06:32] Any can paste me the content of the file /etc/os-release please? (on Ubuntu 20.04) [06:32] s/any/anyone [06:34] marcoagpinto, join the oftc server then type here once opened /join #tor [06:35] https://www.torproject.org/contact/ [06:35] yeahnahmate: but I can also no longer open .txt files with a double-click... I have to right-click and select "open with" [06:35] so a bug is somewhere [06:36] and while reinstalling Tor, Ubuntu 20.04.1 crashed and asked me to send a report [06:36] well download tails burn to usb and then select boot device usb and have some fun without the risk of wrecking your daily os [06:38] marcoagpinto, it runs torbrowser on a debian based operating system (forgets after reboot unless configured otherwise) [06:38] marcoagpinto, it works try it [06:39] are you running ubuntu marcoagpinto [06:40] whois marcoagpinto [06:40] lol [06:40] d/wrry [06:40] what? [06:41] I have VMs with 20.04.1 and 18.04 [06:41] I installed Tor in one of the 20.04.1 [06:41] try running tail in a vm prolly easier if your noobi [06:41] but both 20.04s only open .txt files with "open with", so something is messed up [06:42] make a new vm after you fin dloading tails iso [06:42] all was working fine two weeks ago [06:42] I haven't changed anything, except software update [06:43] dont stress it will b easier if you start fresh-is there anything you must have from the vm you made if not delete them and start fresh only take a minute [06:43] I will start fresh once 20.04.2 is out [06:43] :) [06:43] god only knows what you've done while clicking all those links on the darknet and markets lol [06:44] jokine [06:44] jokes [06:44] but I only have Tor in one the VMs [06:44] so, I have two 20.04s and both don't open a .txt file with a double-click [06:45] yeahnahmate, are you trying to help people? or just spamming? [06:45] helping [06:46] what about all that came before that comment [06:50] marcoagpinto, your mouse will double click on your host os, but not on your virtual machine(s)? [06:51] what? [06:51] it double-clicks on both [06:51] im asking if your mouse works on your host os [06:52] yes, it works in it [06:53] but your mouse wont double click on the oracle virtual box virtual machine being ubuntu...? [06:58] so? [06:58] https://i.imgur.com/SJH2yHb.png [06:58] screenshot [06:58] is it helpful? [07:01] marcoagpinto, if you want to explore that crash report, it'll be found in /var/crash/ , when submitted it will have a .uploaded appended to it, but the filename itself provides clues as to app/lib/etc that crashed.. it can be `rm` if you want the message to go away [07:07] guiverc: it was the tor browser launch [07:07] :) [07:07] Hello [07:07] when I clicked in the icon it downloaded it and crashed [07:07] :) [07:07] and "checking signature blah blah" never ends [07:08] because I went to the apps list and selected the option to reinstall it? [07:08] I can't remember [07:08] quick question I wasn't able to google: is there a user/password in the ubuntu installer for logging in via tty1 while the install is incomplete? [07:08] now the icon in the task bar always downloads it === LabMunkeh is now known as Mechanismus [07:12] there should an ubuntu-lgbtq channel [07:12] OERIAS: lxqt?

For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [07:15] LGee: IIRC during the installer you can get a root shell in tty2 without any need to log in? or am I thinking about the server installer? [07:18] hi [07:19] I am new to ubuntu. i was wondering if there was a way to recover browser history or files [07:20] mgedmin: got it - tty1, ubuntu/no password, for reference, this is the 16.04 GUI installer [07:20] Thanks! [07:22] ... but why [07:24] forgot an email to a site then deleted all my history and logins on accident. -_- [07:26] files: no, not unless you’re willing to do some filesystem forensics. the browser side is application specific, it might’ve backed them up or uploaded them somewhere [07:26] I am willing to do anything. [07:26] there is no backup unfortunately. [07:29] people often don't care about backups until they lose precious data [07:29] well first thing you have to do is unplug that drive immediately. depending on how long its been and how the fs reallocates pages, the data may already be gone. [07:32] I think i figured out my problem now. thanks for the time. [07:46] to enable crash reports im told: Modify the /etc/apport/crashdb.conf file and comment this line 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'] [07:46] do i need to restart apport to re-read the .conf [07:59] lotuspsychje, how do i use the ubottu to search for a factoid [08:00] !alis | yeahnahmate [08:00] yeahnahmate, please see my private message [08:11] morning [08:12] problem: with xev I get my mouse buttons but with 'xbindkeys -k' no mouse button is detected. how can i solve it? [09:31] Hi folks, how come some programs have terminal autocompletion while others don't? [09:33] I mean, some programs like git show me the different options or flags that I can pass to it (by hitting the TAB key) [09:34] But other programs don't seem to have that feature [09:34] So when I hit TAB they don't print anything at all [09:34] it's not a program feature, it's a bash feature [09:35] and there's a set of defined bash completions (in the bash-completion package) that knows about some programs but not about others [09:35] some shells (fish!) try to infer possible completions from installed manual pages [09:37] Ok. So if I write my own program, can I create a bash completion? [09:37] If that makes any sense === ae is now known as Guest77580 [09:38] you can, if you know a bit about shell programming [09:38] I don't [09:38] sometimes it can be automated, e.g. for python scripts there's https://pypi.org/project/argcomplete/ [09:38] Is there such a thing for C/C++? [09:39] I haven't heard [09:39] but if you know C++, learning bash programming should be a piece of cake! [09:40] https://opensource.com/article/18/3/creating-bash-completion-script looks like a good resource [09:41] mgedmin: Thanks a lot for the link and for answering my questions! :) [10:11] mgedmin: Does the bash-completion package infer the completions for us? [10:12] "infer"? no, it's all hardcoded [10:14] Is there someone who knows how I can upgrade to 20.04.1 ? [10:14] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/LnvnfOF2/ [10:14] See this log ^^ [10:16] drupol: to upgrade from 20.04 to 20.04.1 you don't need do-release-upgrade, you need a simple apt update && apt upgrade [10:18] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/VhTbgqPP/ [10:18] mgedmin: ^^ [10:21] hm, it looks like you're already on 20.04.1? I wonder why lsb_release doesn't say that [10:22] drupol: can you pastebin the output of apt-cache policy base-files? === yeahnahmate is now known as conjo [10:31] For some time now cd/dvd-rw blanking does not work because the sr device is locked by gnome or systemd can anyone verify for me if this is local to me ? [10:33] lapion: does "id" list cdrom as a group [10:33] I am using root [10:34] does the cd-rw/dvd-rw have a valid filesystem that's currently mounted? [10:34] It's an audio cd and no matter hwta I do it's not unmountable [10:35] "locked by gnome or systemd", can you elaborate what that means? [10:37] Well I know at least gnome keeps the disk mounted as audio.. probably systemd has nothing ot do with it.. [10:41] I don't believe the kernel supports mounting audio CDs [10:41] I believe that gvfs allows accessing audio CDs as if it were a filesystem full of WAV files, but that's all in userspace [10:42] and it shouldn't be keeping the device open all the time, if nothing accesses those files? [10:42] can you check if there are any processes keeping the device open? fuser -v /dev/sr* /dev/sg* in a terminal can be helpful [10:45] I logged out, logged into a console killed all perviously logged-in's user processes and now it appears to be blanking the cd [10:46] But the same problem appear at burn time because the DE locks the drive for on-the-fly creation and doesn't release for brasero or any other frontend or backend disk burining software [10:52] 'DE' is a bunch of cooperating processes and it would be useful to see (via fuser and ps) which one it is [10:54] well at least in lsof nothing appears to be using the sr0.. [10:54] erm sr1 [10:55] will login back to DE in moment to try fuser [10:56] what about sg? it's been years, but iirc cdroms had two devices, srX and sgX, one for cd-rom stuff and one for generic scsi commands [10:57] different interfaces to the same hardware device [11:24] Hello [11:24] Can someone help me with setting up my openvpn connection? [11:25] when I'm connected, I can only browse the my work websites [11:25] and nothing else [11:25] I have to add some gateway maybe? [11:25] for the public websites [11:26] any idea?

[11:41] google gives me 'KDE neon 20200930', which is what? [11:41] some ubuntu derivative? [11:41] Hi, can you advice ? How can i stop to receive Contents while i try to update my sources ? [11:41] http://i.imgur.com/I4ZVqTi.png [11:41] anyway, that's why lsb_release doesn't say 20.04.1 [11:42] It takes forever to 'apt udpate' [11:43] mgedmin: KDE Neon is Ubuntu based but no a official flavor for which we can't provide support here [11:44] drupol: ^^ [11:45] mgedmin: Do you think I can revert? [11:45] Maik: ^^ [11:45] if you need support with Neon you need to either go to their channel or forum [11:48] They have a channel ? [11:48] drupol: with ^^ i meant that line was also for you. :) [11:49] drupol: look at their website for their official support media/channels/etc. [11:50] drupol, #kde-neon [11:50] they are also on telegram [11:50] BluesKaj: that channel isn't for user support and basically dead [11:51] it was meant for the devs [11:51] bt they don't seem to use it that much these days [11:51] bt/but [11:51] odd , i received suppoer there when i tried it [11:52] here on freenode? [11:52] support even [11:52] drupol: https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#kde-neon-users:kde.org [11:53] yes, freenode [11:54] BluesKaj: i've been there a couple of times before and there was no activity for weeks or even months. [11:55] it's been a while tho. maybe the "attitude" has changed [11:56] they moved to kde.org with chat support, hence the link i posted. :) [11:56] anyway it was an unstable OS , so i drpped it [11:56] Thank you all [11:56] np, yw [12:04] How do I get permanent root access? [12:05] xMeia: sudo -i [12:07] yeah but like [12:07] I cant enter media etc and stuff [12:07] access denied? [12:07] xubuntu 20.04.1 [12:08] what are you trying to do exactly [12:09] Im trying to access my USB stick [12:10] I can see it mounted in Thunar but it's empty when it's not, cant copy files to it ... [12:11] xMeia: try to unmount it and then mount it from thunar again [12:11] xMeia: if you type "groups" in a terminal does it mention plugdev, not sure if thats it [12:11] how is the USB stick formatted? [12:11] VFAT or ext4? [12:13] I don't know [12:13] how 2 check [12:13] xMeia: pastebin the output of "mount" [12:18] Hi, can you advice ? How can i stop to receive Contents while i try to update my sources ? [12:18] It takes forever to 'apt udpate' [12:18] http://i.imgur.com/I4ZVqTi.png [12:19] the entire purpose of 'apt update' is to download all the updated Contents and other files [12:19] your choices are (a) wait patiently, (b) get a faster network connection, (c) not run 'apt update' [12:24] I have a system I can't boot (has 14 disks, but the bios only presents 5 and none of those boot (so I guess the one where I put Ubuntu in is not one of those, and the BIOS does not provide me with info *which* disks are those). what I do have is the PXE image I installed the system to begin with, but trying to provide root=/dev/sdm2 still breaks because even when the partition is detected by the kernel, it tries to find the live system with the [12:24] installer. I removed from the kernel params boot=casper, references to netboot, splash, toram (???) and more, but still tries to find the live stuff. does anyone has any idea what can I do with this? [12:24] XATRIX, perhaps a different mirror will help [12:25] I still see references to casper [12:26] BluesKaj: maybe it can switch off Contents download ? [12:26] I just even tried with init=/bin/bash, it just does nothing [12:27] where is ~/.xsession-errors in these modern days (Wayland session on 20.04)? [12:29] 'unable to find a medium container a live file system' maybe I'm misunderstanding 'live' there? [12:30] XATRIX, "contents"? [12:30] answering my own question: journalctl --user -f [12:31] BluesKaj: Get:48 http://mirror.yandex.ru/ubuntu bionic-security amd64 Contents (deb) [95.5 MB] [12:31] i thinks it's too much to download [12:33] XATRIX, looks to me like you need the security/contents ...seems you have a slow internet connection as well [12:34] BluesKaj: yea, but can i disable these contents updates ? [12:34] not advisable XATRIX [12:35] they're 0security updates [12:35] Again..... how do I check format on my USB? [12:35] correction: security, XATRIX [12:36] BluesKaj: yea, but fresh new install of ubuntu, syncs in a 5-6 seconds, and mine does it in 5 min [12:36] xMeia: do you mean the file system type in your usb device? [12:36] yes [12:36] i only need packages [12:37] xMeia: can you attach it? [12:37] yes [12:37] can't see any files on it [12:37] it's empty? [12:37] it's your call XATRIX.. [12:37] no [12:38] xMeia: maybe the device has more than one partition? [12:38] I don't think so, tried another usb, same thing [12:38] that would be weird [12:38] Xubuntu 20.04.1 LTS [12:38] yeah [12:39] BluesKaj: http://i.imgur.com/0jbJx81.png [12:39] are you sure there is no warning/error messabe? I'm sorry, but I actually use kubuntu, so I can't guide more specifically here :( [12:39] xMeia: are you OK with terminal commands? [12:39] yes [12:40] k, fire up a terminal and run: mount [12:40] paste the output in pastebin.ubunutu.com and bring the URL here [12:41] BluesKaj: and remove 'apt-fille' [12:41] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/SdZTsHzRyz/ [12:42] Hi all. I have a problem with my laptop: whenever I plug the charger, my laptop goes into sleep mode [12:43] Any ideas why is that?

[12:44] no, access denied [12:44] ah! [12:44] I don't know how to help you there [12:45] that disk is vfat, so you should be able to browse there [12:45] last one: run id and just paste thr ouput here [12:45] (it's just one line) [12:45] XATRIX, so you added apt-file and you think it's slowing down your updates. I guess that possible, but I have no experience with it and appears to be safe to remove, yes [12:45] uid=1000(philip) gid=1000(philip) grupper=1000(philip),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),27(sudo),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),121(lpadmin),131(lxd),132(sambashare) [12:46] I don't understand why I can't access the os maps, like im not admin, how do I get that fixed?????? [12:46] I think thats maybe why I wont reach into the USB [12:47] xMeia: it's a permission thing [12:47] your uid/guid matches (1000 vs 1000, see the mount options) [12:47] xMeia: ok, another one: ls -ld /media/philip/KINGSTON [12:47] paste it here, should be one line [12:48] ip a [12:48] oups [12:49] ls: kan inte komma åt '/media/philip/KINGSTON': Åtkomst nekas [12:49] ls: cant reach '/media....

[12:58] Thank you! [12:58] xMeia: yeah, I wonder what happened there [12:59] I want to disable password ssh login on my laptop for security [12:59] /media in my system is 755 too [12:59] wawrek: man sshd_config [13:00] wawrek: PasswordAuthentication Specifies whether password authentication is allowed. The default is yes. [13:00] StyXman: I don't have it. [13:00] StyXman: password authentication using ssh. [13:00] change /etc/ssh/sshd_config, then restart the ssh service [13:01] oh, ubuntu comes without man pages by default? :((( [13:01] can this have an impact on the login, auth functionality of my machine? [13:01] wawrek: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/sshd_config.5.html [13:01] nop, just ssh [13:02] youre changing sshd's configuration, not something at the system level (in that case you would be meddling with /etc/pam.d/ files instead :) [13:02] I will try to disable. if I connect with ssh, I want to do that with the ssh key only; without password authentication [13:02] StyXman: this is really clear to me - thanks a lot [13:02] :) [13:03] xMeia, you might consider adding the drive to /etc/fstab, run sudo blkid for the UUID and add it with the other required settings as described here https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-properly-automount-a-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/ [13:05] BluesKaj: I don't know about gnome, but kde can handle that without medling with /etc/fstab [13:06] StyXman, how? [13:08] StyXman, adding a device to fstab assures an automount at boot. I [13:08] BluesKaj: yeah, but if it's a pluggable device, it makes no sense [13:08] I don't understand [13:09] I can even configure automounting by device [13:09] yeah same here, by using fstab :-) [13:11] btw I'm on lde/plasma as well. fstab entries are insurance [13:11] _shrug_ [13:11] kde/plasma [13:13] BluesKaj: I missed the original question, so maybe Iḿ missing some detail [13:13] if it's just a usb stick, I don't see the point in adding it to fstab [13:20] StyXman, well, I'm guilty of ignoring the removeable devices option in the panel/system tray with the automount option [13:20] i just naturally use /etc/fstab after all these yrs ...force of habit [13:23] Where can I browse the source of this package? [13:23] https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-release-upgrader-core [13:24] I would like to see the content of this file: /etc/update-manager/meta-release [13:27] drupol: in the source package: dget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-release-upgrader/ubuntu-release-upgrader_20.04.18.dsc [13:27] Thanks [13:28] Is it possible to force the reinstallation of that package on my system? [13:28] sure but that will not guarantee anything with /etc/* changes [13:28] apt --reinstall install pkg [13:29] testing this out [13:29] Reinstallation of ubuntu-release-upgrader-core is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [13:30] BluesKaj: ok [13:31] drupol: mybe you need to run apt update first [13:32] I did StyXman [13:35] then dunno [13:35] doesn it mention any type of error? 'cannot be downloaded' is too generic [13:50] StyXman: nothing no... [13:54] drupol, ask your reral questio, why do think you need to reinstall ubuntu-release-upgrader-core? [13:54] question [13:54] BluesKaj: I did a mistake by installing kde neon. I'd like to go back to regular ubuntu... [13:55] ubuntu or kubuntu? [13:58] first ubuntu, then kubuntu, then kde neon [13:58] Oh sorry [13:58] I'd like to restore 20.04 kubuntu. [13:59] restore? [13:59] Yeah... get rid of KDE Neon stuff [13:59] drupol: remove kubuntu-desktop, I guess [14:00] nope, wont work [14:00] use aptitude and search for kde and remove everything [14:00] apparently I have to reinstall ubuntu... [14:00] KDE Neon override base packages [14:00] like base-files, etc etc [14:00] ugh [14:01] yeah, sounds like a reinstall [14:01] I home your home is in another partition [14:01] :s this is a bit s***y [14:01] Nope [14:01] I hope* [14:01] this is a corporate laptop [14:01] I cannot reinstall [14:01] drupol: kde neon is not part of ubuntu, is it? [14:01] no it's not [14:01] then don't complain to us that kde neon fscked the system [14:02] rolling back is going to be painful [14:03] it *is* possible, just install on the same machine but remove everything *except* /home (and maybe backup /etc) and *don't* format the partitions [14:03] 'just' with lots of quotes [14:06] when turning on my screen from it being off why does it cut out my sound? [14:07] for a moment [14:07] what software is doing that? [14:07] pulseaudio? [14:07] i imagine a new audio device was found, but why does that cut the sound out of an existing device? [14:14] ok, I changed my problem: I'm in the TUI server installer, I just reformated a disk with GPT, I have / properly defined, I have the EFI (ef00) partition there, the installer tells me I have to select a boot disk. I try to select the disk for booting, but the meny entry is greyed. I also try to use the EFI partition, and it tells me 'this is an esp as required by uefi, if this disk is selected as a boot device, grub will use it' and doesn't allow me to [14:14] use the disk to boot! [14:18] StyXman: boot device or bootloader installation device? [14:19] the (last) message says 'boot device' [14:19]
