[00:00] why not step up a default email address and let it email [00:01] 3 button pushed [00:08] my computer keeps disconnecting from the network... [00:09] the network is fine [00:09] but my computer keeps disconnecting randomly [00:09] I need help diagnosing this [00:10] bumblefuzzz: When does it happen? [00:11] Is your computer falling asleep? [00:12] it's happening right now [00:13] every 20-30 seconds... complete interruption [00:13] no incoming for outgoing [00:13] then it resumes [00:13] bumblefuzzz: Try rebooting [00:13] I did that first [00:13] My MacBook Pro does it all the time tbh [00:13] this is after a fresh reboot [00:14] It's usually just that the network is busy or something screwy is going on in the router [00:14] no, other devices are fine [00:15] just this one device [00:18] no ideas? [00:20] wireless? [00:20] it's a bridge [00:21] what do you mean by 'disconnecting'? you mentioned it was happening 'right now', yet your irc connection persisted [00:21] but this is happening on the machine, which is wired to the bridge [00:21] and this hasn't happened before [00:21] and, like I said, the rest of the network is fine [00:21] define bridge [00:22] is wireless? wired? when it's "disconnected", can you ping internal IPs e.g. the router? can you ping external IPs? [00:23] @kk4ewt, Hadn't thought of that (duh). The problem with the share was that there's already another one (so more button pushing) -- I don't think there are any email addresses set up on it though. [00:25] bumblefuzzz, Are there any IP conflicts? I chased my own tail the other day because the IPs that our firewall gave out to VPN clients was also part of the DHCP range. If you've got something set static, in the DHCP range, bada-bing. [00:30] any ideas? [00:32] bumbluefuzz not sure if you followed up before you got cut off. "disconnecting from the network" is not specific. when it's in that period of 'broken-ness'.. - what happened? presumably your machine didn't drop its IP address. is your destination to a local IP address on the network (router, other device..). is it ping-able? is it only internet addresses not reachable? === OERIAS is now known as CristobalColon === CristobalColon is now known as PrinceHenryTheNa === PrinceHenryTheNa is now known as VascoDaGama [00:40] bumblefuzzz what's this bridge? is it connected to the more central router that the working devices are connected to? [00:41] if it's running a DHCP server additionally, depending how it's wired.. maybe you could have some issues. same problem craigbass76 mention === zbenjamin is now known as Guest21761 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:19] Can someone tell me which package I need for debugsymbols? https://pastebin.com/2Ec39yxX ( I'd like to report XOrg crashings (yes, plural)) with proper information [01:30] OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW [01:30] THAT HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT [01:30] OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW [01:32] Corey0550: not here please [01:32] bumblefuzzz: i don't know if this is an answer to your issue, but i have found screwy network, and even tmux sessions crashing after logout, because of double nat [01:32] or, bridge connected to bridge (probably not double nat, but it seems like the same physical topology) [01:33] lotuspsychje IMMMMMMM DOWN MY MAN [01:33] I NEED ASSISTANT [01:33] Corey0550: try asking a question with caps off [01:36] Is there a way to reset all networking modifications back to "factory" for lack of a better word?

How do I automatically mount this after login (on boot (fstab) caused the system to not allow me to login) [02:51] jeffrey_f: What is the file system on that target 1TB HDD - and show us the fstab entry you made to mount it. [02:52] Bashing-om, It is EXT4 [02:54] Bashing-om, I didn't make the fstab entry, it was doen through the Disks app [02:57] Bashing-om, I didn't make the fstab entry, it was made through the Disks app gui [02:58] jeffrey_f: ack; And the target file system ? [02:59] Bashing-om, the target is a local secondary disk [02:59] jeffrey_f: "local secondary disk" can be any file system - is it one that linux supports ?

[03:12] Does ubuntu have a web interface to see the content of source packages or do you have to download the source yourself and unpack it? [03:21] I will pastbin that in a moment. The mount point exists and I currently have it mounted, but I have to manually do it.

Does anyone know that the issue is, and why it doesn't work properly with NVMe? [04:48] The same issue exists when using Virtualbox. :( [05:08] I've also created a thread on the forums: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/software-raid-wont-boot-if-using-nvme-drives/18585 [05:40] hi all if one of you could help me with this id be most grateful ty =) [05:40] https://pastebin.com/pJKPT82P [05:41] conjo: yes, unplug it and re-plug to see if it auto-mounts, or use 'mount' to mount it explicity [05:42] mount LABEL=device-name /mnt/point, mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/point, etc [05:42] ty [05:53] if i mount the usb in a diff place like in the /tmp/usbz/ will the usbz be left behind if i remove the usb? [05:55] or should i stick with convention so i dont have to go looking all over to rm -r folders after removing usb drive;having manually mounted it to location x y z(assuming uplugging the usb wont automagically delete the usbz creation) [05:56] conjo: yeah but an empty directory won't hurt anything [05:56] you can safely 'rmdir' any directory you think might be empty [05:56] so prolly best to stick with convention [05:56] if you replug it, it'll probably auto mount [05:56] nice [05:56] ty [05:57] with rmdir if its not empty it will flag a warning with out the recursive option/flag no? [05:58] if the folder im trying to delete isnt empty(clarifying) [05:58] rmdir will only work on empty directories [05:58] it's 100% safe [05:59] test it out: mkdir testdir; touch testdir/testfile; rmdir testdir [05:59] just tested it cheer [05:59] cheers [05:59] nice [06:00] "rmdir: failed to remove 'testing/': Directory not empty" [06:00] rm testdir/testfile; rmdir testdir === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me [06:01] cool [06:01] If I use size based logrotate configuration, do I still need to use specification like daily, hourly etc ? [06:02] and if you didnt specify whats the default [06:03] after macopython has got an answer, just curious does anyone use ubuntu without a de [06:05] macopython, im just guessing but id assume it would just trim the earliest entry to comply with the size enforcement [06:06] conjo: Okay. But if I specify size then will it rotate as soon as size fits the criteria or it will rotate in the next round (which may be once in a day) ? [06:08] dunno but ill have a google for you and post if i find anything [06:08] conjo: Found the answer. Thanks [06:10] what was it [06:10] link it if easier [06:17] macopython, was it a matter of viewing the setting inside /etc/logrotate.conf and uncommenting or editing the settings there? [06:20] or would the changes have to be made at /etc/logrotate.d/custom.conf (anybody that has been following the above) please [06:31] conjo: you certainly can run ubuntu without a desktop environment. there are likely many ubuntu servers out there. [06:32] ThinkT510, ty [06:33] also if you are thinking more along the lines of personal use then sometimes a window manager and an app launcher are all you need. I use i3wm with i3status and dmenu. [06:34] is that pretty much a cli bash environment and a program that allows a gui for when required? [06:35] it still uses X11 or wayland for graphical display [06:35] i am thinking along those lines im trying to learn how to do most of the things i do daily with the cli instead of the gui [06:36] there are some options out there. I use weechat for irc (cli client) [06:37] I use cmus for my music player (a good cli client) [06:37] you can use screen or tmux for terminal mutiplexing (effectively a tiling window manager for a terminal) [06:37] i dont really understand what is meant by it still using wayland and x11 gonna have a read n ill be back [06:38] thats cool re tmux ty [06:42] after a quick read and reread of ur post's it all makes more sense, lol feel a bit slow on the uptake and ty for all the mentions of applications i can use to that end.

Having a issue configuring static ip/dhcp/vlan via 50-cloud-init.yaml [07:29] anyone know of a working example? google gave me a few different ones with differnet syntax (false vs 'no', etc). this is 18.04 [07:30] YAML allows both `false` and `no` for boolean values and treats them the same [07:30] yes, im just noting that i havent seen consistancy in the examples [08:08] I have a remote server that has focal installed but itś not booting. I can upload a 50MiB iso image via IPMI and boot from there, but where can I find or how can I make such an image?

[08:48] or not worth the hash as it could be cracked in a second [08:48] sha1 is widely considered insecure: https://shattered.io/ [08:48] ty [08:48] not a second, but it can be broken in practice [08:49] to when your getting your iso's offline what is a prefered hash algo to choose from if available [08:49] online lols [08:49] almost everyone uses SHA-256 nowadays [08:49] *to=so [08:49] anything better [08:49] commonly used [08:49] (technically it's SHA2-256, I suppose) [08:50] ty [08:52] is gpg signature more common with new images iso's etc, than hashes [08:52] its more secure or is that reletive [08:52] gpg i mean [08:52] gpg is hard to use correctly [08:53] lols [08:53] usually nobody gpg-signs images directly; they gpg-sign SHA256SUM files [08:53] why for the sake of checking an iso wouldn't it be rather simple [08:54] okay and that would be a much quicker process as well i assume? [08:54] I don't know why [08:55] hows the install going? [09:15] hi there [09:15] greetings [09:16] I use rsync to copy files between 2 machines. I use an ssh key to authenticate. Does rsync encrypt data packets by default? [09:16] What is my connection is compromised ? [09:17] rsync tunnels over ssh by default, so yes, everything is encrypted [09:18] mgedmin: are you sure ? does it tunnel through ssh by default? or do I have to specify this in the command? [09:19] mgedmin: thanks for the answer anyway [09:20] assuming you're not using the rsync daemon, then yes, it tunnels over ssh by default [09:20] I use the command line - as it is installed on ubuntu. what is the rsync daemon? [09:21] the manual page is right here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man1/rsync.1.html [09:22] thanks ;) [09:23] I guess another way of securing it is to use the vpn while transferring.

[09:41] sudo do-release-upgrade [09:41] amuro: i should show up through the software updater by now [09:41] backups are prudent [09:41] i/it [09:42] the upgrade option rolled out a few days ago [09:43] ThinkT510: But after I run that command, I got error saying no more upgrade [09:44] amuro: 32 bit? [09:44] if so, 32 bit isn't supported anymore since 19.10 === mateen1 is now known as mateen [09:44] i think the upgrade is sent out in a staggered manner so some people have it available and others don't just yet [09:45] not sure what determines whether it is available for you [09:46] ThinkT510: if it's a 32 bit install he can't upgrade so we need to find out what he is running, 32 or 64 bit [09:46] ThinkT510: https://pastebin.pl/view/13f07caa [09:47] Maik: you were spot on, he is on 32bit [09:47] amuro: i386 = 3 [09:47] 32 bit [09:48] hit enter too soon [09:48] ThinkT510: i remember having that issue on a old netbook of mine ;) [09:48] So, do I have to wait? [09:49] amuro: you'd have to reinstall using a 64bit version [09:50] if the computer is capable of running 64 bit [09:51] amuro: your 32bit 18.04 system will receive updates until 2023 (as your paste shows) [09:51] amuro: you can find out what your cpu is capable of by running lscpu in the terminal [09:52] I run lscpu I think it is 64bit capable [09:52] Its almost a ten years old computer, just for my mom watching TV shows. I am not gonna bother reinstall.. [09:52] copy/paste the output on https://paste.ubuntu.com/ so we can make sure [09:54] https://pastebin.com/9DNufT2Z [09:55] yup, 64 bit [09:55] ah there is a command "lscpu". Didn't know of it. i always do cat /proc/cpuinfo [09:55] you can use that machine for the years to come if you install the 64bit version of Ubuntu amuro [09:56] I don't remember why I installed the 32bit ubuntu on it 10 9 years ago [09:57] probably because it was the first option to download nex to 64 bit [09:57] amuro: less than 4gb of RAM? [09:57] It's 4GB ram [09:58] either i should press my keys harder or clean the keyboard, too much typos [09:58] 2x2GB ram I think [09:58] good enough for 64bit [09:58] i have a Thinkpad T410 which has 4GB of RAM and it runs fine [09:59] I dont use that computer anymore, just for my mom's media consumption' [09:59] It is placed in the living room [09:59] also 10+ years old by the way. [09:59] amuro: then 4GB is good enough [09:59] I rather use my rpi4 in the living room instead of this huge desktop [10:01] I just visit my mom once a while and do regular check or update on the computer === mateen1 is now known as mateen [10:39] what's the right way to request an update to a package from upstream, is it a bug report with a label of "packaging" or is there some other channel? [10:40] darrend: can you elaborate a bit what the package/bug is about? [10:40] what's the reason for the update? [10:41] !latest [10:41] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [10:41] upstream has fixed an issue that makes the package work again :) The current version in focal and groovy no longer works as it attempts to use an authentication method deprecated and removed by google === beaver|bbl is now known as beaver|hehaspwn [10:41] so basically any version prior to the latest upstream is essentially useless [10:42] (the package exists solely to make google contacts available on CLI) [10:43] so definitely falls into the category of "high impact bug fixes" [10:44] !sru [10:44] Stable Release Update information is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [10:44] ^ this is the right mechanism to request package updates in these situations [10:46] mgedmin: thank you === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [10:57] Could you give me feedback on this: https://github.com/isene/conky (my conky information bar with all underlying scripts) [11:01] isene: so you are using conky as a replacement for i3status? [11:03] ThinkT510: Yes [11:04] It has more features [11:07] isene: i'm no expert but what sort of feedback are you looking for? suggestions on what to add or change? [11:10] isene: in your annotations picture you might want to mention the units you are using (i'm assuming C for temp rather than F) [11:20] isene: is it a ubuntu related support question or just for conky? If it's for conky it might be better to join either #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic [11:33] for conky go to #conky [11:34] as you did.. [11:36] Remy: Yes, I did for the conky-specific feedback. Was looking for a broader view here as to what kind of info the average Ubuntu user may want to include. [11:36] ThinkT510: Good feedback on the units. Will fix [11:41] ThinkT510: Fixed [12:04] Hi everyone, has anyone worked to change the cursor-theme in gui apps running with display-setup-script or greeter-setup-script === arch1mede5 is now known as arch1mede === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK [12:47] Hi all [12:49] BluesKaj, hi [12:50] hi arunpyasi === hola is now known as joaquinito01 [13:53] Hello, any way I can get help diagnosing my first ubuntu install not booting? [13:53] I'm on a surface pro, installed ubuntu 20 on a USB3.0 SSD, but I cant get it to boot to the usb. [13:54] usb is the first option in the bios settings, and it does boot to the live ubuntu OK when I have that usb key plugged in [13:56] I do have a boot-repair dump at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pfKZHMYFbx/ === grumble is now known as Spooktober === e is now known as deadk === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka === emilsp is now known as slimep === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me [14:08] jpmiller25: looking [14:09] Thanks. The install I'm trying to get working is on SDB partition #2 [14:11] jpmiller25: seems that it's installed in efi mode, i suspect in the bios you're choosing 'usb' and it's trying to boot it in legacy mode [14:12] jpmiller25: do you have a "uefi usb" option? perhaps if you can get to a one time (run time) boot menu it would list the usb and uefi usb options [14:12] jpmiller25: are you still in the live session though? cause there's something you should do for usb installs [14:13] I am in the live session right now [14:13] jpmiller25: type "ls -lR /media/ubuntu/FB76-CFD6 | nc termbin.com 9999" [14:14] it should give a link back to a paste, copy it here [14:15] https://termbin.com/4cas [14:16] jpmiller25: hmm, that's not good, seems the efi partition is empty [14:16] jpmiller25: type "sudo umount /dev/sdb*" [14:17] umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted.umount: /dev/sdb3: not mounted. [14:17] jpmiller25: type "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt" [14:18] it didnt give a response [14:18] but after that I did the umount [14:18] umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted.umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted.umount: /dev/sdb3: not mounted. [14:19] jpmiller25: does 'lsblk' show nothing under Mountpoint for sdb partitions? [14:19] yeah nothing under mountpoints... [14:19] ok, type 'sudo mount /dev/sdb2' [14:19] weird I did set up the mountpoints in the partition setup before the install [14:19] please only run commands i give you and dont jump ahead [14:20] ok understood [14:20] jpmiller25: type the following line word for word [14:20] jpmiller25: for i in /dev /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done [14:21] hi [14:21] ok. after doing sudo mount it says: /dev/sdb2: can't find in /etc/fstab [14:21] I'm running the next command now [14:21] jpmiller25: my bad, sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt [14:21] wait dont runt he for command yet [14:21] ok I havent [14:22] should I do the sudo mount first? [14:22] yeah [14:22] ok [14:23] ok that's done with no respons [14:24] jpmiller25: also the for command? [14:24] sorry I was waiting- doing the command now [14:25] ok thats done with no response [14:25] alright, all good [14:25] jpmiller25: type 'sudo chroot /mnt' [14:25] im in [14:25] jpmiller25: 'mount -a' [14:25] no response [14:26] jpmiller25: grub-install --removable [14:27] installing [14:27] Installation finished. No error reported. [14:28] jpmiller25: also run 'grub-install' so it'll add it to the uefi list in your pc [14:29] ok I'm still running this as root@ubuntu? [14:29] yes [14:29] Installation finished. No error reported. [14:29] jpmiller25: update-grub [14:30] done [14:30] just as a sanity check, "ls -lR /boot | nc termbin.com 9999" [14:31] should I exit root before that? [14:31] no [14:32] ok I had a lot of error messages cannot open directory [14:32] hold on [14:32] https://termbin.com/y3bvk [14:33] jpmiller25: something is pretty weird [14:34] jpmiller25: type 'rm -r /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu' [14:34] lots of cannot remove errors - Read only file system [14:35] jpmiller25: something definitely seems skewed, if i were you i'd just reformat the efi partition [14:35] jpmiller25: type 'sudo umount /boot/efi' [14:36] done [14:36] jpmiller25: sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sdb1 [14:37] mkfs.fat: /dev/sdb1 contains a mounted filesystem [14:37] jpmiller25: ah i see what's going on, the efi partition on the usb isnt actually being used in fstab, it's using the nvme one [14:37] that's why earlier it was empty, but when we listed this it had a bunch of microsoft/windows files and stuff [14:38] wow thats over my head sorry [14:38] jpmiller25: type 'nano /etc/fstab' [14:38] you want to exchange the UUID's there to this [14:39] jpmiller25: you want it to look like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/swGwsdv6jv/ [14:40] remove the extra /fatpartition line, and exchange the UUID there with the UUID in the /boot/efi line [14:40] working on it === philroche_ is now known as philroche === jonmasters_ is now known as jonmasters [14:41] I got a question about gnome-software on ubuntu 20.04 [14:42] It seems that gnome-software only accepts to install snap/debs from already added ppa/repositories [14:42] I mean, having a .deb/.snap which is not in the snap store or basic repos will not work, even if the .deb will install the wanted ppa [14:44] apt-get install will work tho [14:46]
