[00:17] Hi everyone, sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm using Ubuntu server 18.04. My primary terminal is getting spammed with what looks like dmesg/debug output that should normally be sent to the messages/logging terminal. Any ideas how I can silent this output on my main terminal? [00:18] hello, I'm trying to get amdgpu drivers installed on Ubuntu 20.04, via "./amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=legacy,pal --headless" [00:18] appears to install fine [00:19] however, "dpkg -l amdgpu" shows no packages, does that mean it did not install correctly? [00:25] did you miss | grep [00:26] my mistake [00:26] amdgpu should be installed standard, you want the grep for amdgpu-pro i guess [00:27] ok I see it now with just 'dpkg -l' [00:27] amdgpu-pro-core, and others [00:29] $ apt show amdgpu-pro [00:31] oerheks: ah got it, thanks === toxic_ is now known as toxic === zbenjamin is now known as Guest72803 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:10] Richard_Cavell: does the disk drive in question show up in BIOS? [01:45] Hi, I use DNS over VPN, and it's working with ipv4. I also get a ping to the DNS Server via ip6. However, if I disable ip4, I cannot resolve any domain names. Where would I start debugging this (e.g. does ubuntu work with ip6 only?) Could be that the DNS (pihole) is not set up to resolve ip6 (but it seems to be). Any help/hints are highly appreciated. [01:46] there is #pihole here on #freenode [01:48] I was not sure if this may be related to how ubuntu handles ip4/6, but I will ask there, too. === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant === toxic_ is now known as toxic === zbenjamin is now known as Guest22367 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:06] I upgraded to Focal, and now Alt-Tab seems to .. maybe it is now tab? [02:07] no, it isn't the same as tab. but regardless, how do I tie it to "switch apps" I guess [02:09] also, no wifi. lspci shows: Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n [02:11] CarlFK: it's Super+TAB [02:12] lspci shows more, the 8 digit hex number?

[02:13] you're most welcome [02:15] CarlFK, did you installed the proprietary drivers for wifi? [02:15] oerheks: full line 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [02:15] it is an option somewhere in the GUI [02:15] derpadmin: it was a while ago. Broadcom... sounds like something that needs them [02:16] if the GUI does not work, there might be a package and a procedure somewhere [02:17] !bcm | CarlFK [02:17] CarlFK: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:17] found the gui thing.

Now when I try to open the HD, I get an error message: "Sorry, could not duisplay all the contents of "My Passport": Error when getting information for file...: input/output error" [02:47] The file in question is the one I was transferring. [02:47] vyst: can you open the original file? [02:47] How do I get access to the hard drive again so I can delete the file in question and safely keep the rest? [02:47] I believe to understand security concerns (have strong ip6table rules, router with ip6 firewall), I need it only for debugging purposes [02:47] vyst: if yes, copy it again, this time try not to make the same mistake twice [02:47] tatertots: No, when I click "Ok", the hard drive shows up empty. [02:48] Oh wait, you mean the original file on my computer? [02:48] Let me see. [02:48] randmin_342, can you resolve domains? [02:48] ping an ipv6 ip [02:49] tatertots: yes it opens. I'll try transferring it now. [02:49] randmin_342: you think you need it, but when you got it, you didn't know what to do with it [02:49] tatertots: didn't work. Pulled up the same error.

[02:51] vyst: with that having been said, it unrealistic to expect the copy to function any differently than it's original [02:52] tatertots: Is there a way I can safe the rest of the files on the hard drive? [02:52] save* [02:52] vyst: your original is of no use to use, neither is your "copy", that is expected [02:53] tatertots: I might not be being clear: I don't care about the file transferred. I care about the rest of the hard drive. [02:53] I can't access anything on it. [02:53] vyst: are you chatting from the computer right now? [02:53] yes [02:53] run a fsck on that hdd, if it is formatted ntfs, use windows [02:53] derpadmin: I can using ip4. A friend cannot, however, using ip4. May be a problem with Win10 & DNS via VPN (there are issues) but ip6 seems to be the way to go. So I want to debug the VPN for that purpose (and then go back to ip4 DNS) [02:54] vyst: in terminal> inxi -Fxxxprzc0|nc termbin.com 9999 [02:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [02:54] vyst: follow instructions if not installed then follow through [02:54] stand by...

What's it supposed to do? [02:56] read the wiki? [02:57] derpadmin: Yes and no. Debugging VPN is the reason I want to use DNS over ip6 in the first place and found out it is not enabled/working.

[03:02] derpadmin: On moral considerations, I canceled Netflix due to their what appears to be open support of pedophilia. I figured the high seas were more ethical than supporting that. === signofzeta is now known as reversedelta [03:03] vyst, come again? [03:03] derpadmin: I canceled Netflix because of their pushing the show/movie "Cuties", and decided to pirate my own entertainment instead. [03:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#A12.04_.28Precise_Pangolin.29 (there is no Focal).. I get: Reinstallation of bcmwl-kernel-source is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [03:03] tatertots: Did you see the screenshots? [03:04] um.. why not? and do I care? [03:04] vyst: yes i see it [03:04] tatertots: I'm happy to hear everything looks accessible through the terminal. Any idea why everything isn't accessible via GUI?

[03:07] vyst: with that having been said, i must disregard that specific file as it does not show here https://termbin.com/shox [03:08] tatertots: Any ideas yet how to access all the other files? [03:09] vyst: try to view Meteorite-Final.odt [03:10] via the terminal? [03:10] vyst, yes, the filmmaker (a woman) won a bunch of awards including "Academy Gold Fellowship for Women" it seems to touch a sensitive subject that she witness first hand [03:10] vyst: no via GUI [03:10] tatertots: I can't access anything via GUI. [03:10] Nothing shows up. [03:10] but fix your filesystem first :) [03:11] Ah yes, the NYT spinning it as something other than outright support of pedophilia. Imagine my shock. [03:12] tatertots: When I open the hard drive via GUI, I get the error message, and after I click OK, it says the folder is empty. That's the problem. [03:12] it is based on real life events, and they interview real life kids to see why they act that way, but I get the point that re-enacting something that was wrong to start with with children... it's like a catch 22 [03:12] vyst: strange , because i can see the contents in terminal just fine [03:13] vyst: do you know how to open your PDF viewer application? [03:13] tatertots: Again, that makes me feel good that the contents are fine. [03:13] tatertots: Sure, do you want me to see if I can open the odt from there? [03:13] derpadmin: this is ubuntu support NOT IMDB movie/show site [03:14] tatertots: Don't blame him, I started it. [03:14] vyst: yes [03:14] tatertots: Yes, that worked. [03:14] ok, let's focus on the filesystem [03:14] I was able access the files and open a PDF. [03:14] Through the document viewer. [03:15] So...this is some weird Nautilus glitch? [03:15] vyst: ok ...that means if i said "the files on the external drive are accessible" that would be a true statement [03:15] opposite of false [03:16] Which is great. [03:16] So the question is... why does it show up as empty when I try to access it normally through the GUI? [03:17] vyst: there is no rick and morty file(s) so i must disregard that as some flaw cause by your non proper removal of the drive earlier [03:17] interesting, you read anything but the wiki to check the filesystem with fsck [03:17] tatertots: Can we fix the flaw? [03:17] and as it seems ntfs, use windows [03:18] vyst: you can run a file system check on the disk with it connected to a Windows 10 PC [03:19] vyst: outside of that, there is no real issue accessing the files that appear here https://termbin.com/1j2l [03:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx didn't help me. this did: https://wiki.debian.org/wl [03:20] I think linux had a ntfs utility too no? [03:20] (with a little skipping over the debian repo bit) [03:20] ntfsfix /dev/sdxx [03:21] where sdxx is your usbdrive [03:21] CarlFK: good...glad you are using wifi now [03:21] tatertots: Hooking it up to my wife's Windows machine now... [03:22] hmm, no, tatertots idea of using windows chkdsk is better [03:22] tatertots: well, still on wire, but ip a shows wlp3s0: lets see if it comes up on reboot. brb [03:24] Hm. Weird. So I plugged it into the Windows machine and all the files are showing up, include the R&M files. I just tried to delete them and I can't. [03:26] vyst: your drive is exhibiting abnormalities, even when used with Windows 10, I would expect some of those abnormalities are carried to the Linux PC's when transporting this drive between systems [03:27] vyst : use the chkdsk utility on windows, but it is off topic for ubuntu, see also : I pm'ed you [03:36] oerheks :why my ubuntu sys auto reboot sometimes [04:32] I'm looking for PDF Editor recommendations for Ubuntu. I first tried LibreOffice Draw, but it's not able to even display the PDFs I have correctly. === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [04:38] adrian_1908: inkscape [04:39] lotuspsychje: nice, I'll give that a try. I always have that installed anyway! [04:53] That worked surprisingly well, thanks for the tip! [04:58] +1 adrian_1908 === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [06:34] after a cold start gdm3 loads , I log in and all I get is a blank screen. I restart gdm3 and log in again, now it's not blank, seems like normal. This happens when I have nvidia driver installed, opensourcedriver nouveau I dont get blank screen. is this a known issue ? [06:37] in the sense that nvidia is known to cause problems for linux systems? yes; the specific situation with your pc? not necessarily [06:38] I would file a bug (or search for an existing one about the same graphics card model) [06:38] I think it's rare that hw-driver should interferrence with login. [06:38] often I've seen advice to file a new bug even if you think your bug is the same -- it's easier to mark a bug as duplicate than to disentangle several issues presenting similar symptoms from one mess of a bug report [06:39] on login it's possible that gnome-shell/gnome-settings-daemon is trying to change your monitor resolution, which could cause a blank screen [06:39] you may want to move ~/.config/monitors.xml aside for testing [06:40] yea, your right, Ill guess Ill try to run in debug mode aswell. Im lazy throwing in question from my hips , thanks for responce :) <3 [06:40] (or it might be some nvidia-specific stuff started from /etc/xdg/autostart or similar; I don't know!) === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [07:07] is zsys worth it yet? I just built 0.5.2 from source and apparently there is still no command to restore a state taken with the "save" command... [07:11] I have to say I like the idea of having snapshots integrated with package management, so is there a way to make zsys useful with manual workarounds, or is this something better avoided until next os major version? [07:14] Zsys is still early in development .. [07:14] https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/03/ubuntu-20-04s-zsys-adds-zfs-snapshots-to-package-management/ [07:21] oerheks, yeah I've seen that. I've tried an ubuntu install on zfs a couple months back and noticed zsys seemed to do everything on the "save state" front. so I was wondering whether it's progressed far enough to restore states yet [07:34] hey all. How can I enable my second display to switch workspaces, too?

What's the most stable software to mount my google drive as a folder in ubuntu? I've checked gnome online acconts but it's not what I'm looking for. Right now I'm using self-made rclone scripts to manually sync my google drive with a local directory. Is https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse the best way to go? [08:07] ah yes, gvfs-fuse uses internal IDs of some sort instead of human-readable filenames in google-drive:// mounts [08:07] yes, I can't use it to work from the terminal [08:07] I once had some command-line tool to sync my google drive, but the external HDD died and I never bothered resurrecting my setup [08:31] How can i disable hibernation and remove the menu entrie from the restart menu? im using KDE plasma [08:31] the standard google account thingy mounts in the homefolder, IIRC [08:34] anyone knows why ruby gems installed by apt are now in /usr/share/rubygems-integration instead of /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby ? === leden_ is now known as leden [09:02] Hi, can you advice ?

[11:48] I use startup to write it on disk [11:48] on usb I mean [11:48] yes === fael is now known as rafz [11:48] whar are you trying to acheive [11:49] what are you trying to acheive [11:49] are you installing ubuntu or repair an os thats noot booting [11:49] I was upgrading 18.04 to 20.04 [11:49] it crashed at middle somewhere and I was graphically logged out [11:50] Then I reboot as i was not able to login and started dpkg configure -a [11:50] im guessing that might n=be due to your graphics driver [11:50] possible [11:50] try ctrl alt F1 or F2 [11:50] I was like one year ago had a World of Tanks installed and tried some nvidia drivers [11:51] Now I have grub> rescue [11:51] i was able to crtrl+f1 before dpkg configure a [11:52] in shell I was running dokg configure -a [11:52] ok grub rescue, you need to boot from the usb, not hard drive so, you need to press f12 f10 f 9 depending on your pc to get into your bios/uefi settings, then boot the usb [11:52] now nee to fix the grub probably and hopefully will work [11:53] I have 2 hdds Mystified1234 [11:53] not sure if it will sda1 or sdb1 [11:53] you need to create a bootable media to run grub rescue [11:54] 96% is created [11:54] 98% [11:54] done.. [11:54] does it boot [11:54] yes [11:54] if doesn't boot then you have not made the media bootable [11:55] is now presenting loader of Ubuntu [11:55] from stick [11:56] goto youtube & see how to make a bootable grub rescue media [11:56] ace_me: you did not do apt-get dist-upgrade -f before rebooting? [11:56] thats not grub rescue [11:56] is now checking disk [11:57] is not this ? [11:57] sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [11:57] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [11:57] try typing " ctrl + alt & F2" at the same time [11:57] why ? [11:58] then run from root " #" what mgedmin: stated [11:58] just to have a terminal to play with ? [11:58] yes thats right [11:58] ok [11:58] then run what he stated [11:58] got one [11:59] but login does not work [11:59] blkid or lsblk afterwards an look at you drives & partitions [11:59] sudo -i [11:59] root password [11:59] now we booted from usb and nothing yet available [12:00] I have in ctrl+f1 an install welcome [12:00] goodnight, my wife is waiting for me.. speak tomorrow [12:00] I've just clicked on try ubuntu [12:01] ok [12:01] sleep well [12:04] I can't type in terminal [12:04] no letters [12:08] has there been discussion of including .AppImage support (prompt to make executable, register as a desktop application, etc) to Ubuntu? I'm thinking something similar to .dmg file installation on macos. [12:10] bendman: no, but canonical seems to be strategically focused on snaps in exclusion to all other package formats [12:10] users can already manually setup each package themselves or try to find some working daemon that handles it, but I'm thinking the user experience could easily be better [12:12] mgedmin: thanks for the response. with different competing packages would it make sense and be possible to add a .AppImage package handler to the snap store? I've never built a snap package myself, so I'm not sure of the limitations. [12:12] I have zero familiarity with appimages (and I've never tried to build a snap either) [12:14] alright, I'll look more into it, thanks! [12:15] Hi all [12:51] Why can't I use hdparam to enable APM? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VjYHTnBf4b/ [13:00] I'm on 20.04 (5.4 kernel) but want to see if a wifi hw bug doesnt repro in with the 5.3 kernel. In general is downgrading kernels like that risky or not that big a deal? [13:02] samdragon: 5.3 kernel is EOL afaik [13:02] samdragon: Just pick the old kernel in GRUB [13:04] it looks barrier refuses to connect with ubuntu 20 [13:04] in 18 I was using synergy and it worked [13:04] any hints [13:04] I did also ufw allow 24800 [13:08] I only have 5.4.X versions of the kernel in grub, so id have to install it, but Im a noob and not sure if downgrading like that to an outdated kernel will make everything blow up [13:08] granted its only 5.4 -> 5.3 so maybe its not a big deal and i should just try it [13:09] samdragon: Kernel installs are not the same as a normal package install [13:09] samdragon: They install a new kernel separately [13:09] They don't downgrade/upgrade anything [13:11] im under the assumption that maybe there are landmines Im not aware of, like all the packages ive got installed will only work with the newer kernel, ie theyve been compiled/conigured for 5.4 and if I boot with 5.3 then some random crucial package or app would blow up [13:11] configured* [13:11] samdragon: You're wrong [13:11] Userspace applications are not tied directly to a kernel [13:12] Otherwise, you'd have to reinstall everything everytime there was a new kernel [13:12] ok that sounds like im concerned about a non issue [13:12] samdragon: And again, you can just reboot, go to GRUB, and boot back into another kernel version [13:13] thanks, gonna give it a try [13:14] Hey so, in linux5.9 there's a driver added for rtl8821ce. That kernel is currently rc8 so I'd assume released soon. How long before that's installable with that driver available after that? I assume I'll have to run HWE or something ofc [13:16] Or perhaps, is there some way to use the rc already (in a supported way that is) [13:16] Ether_Man: HWE only gives you kernels from a new buntu release. Once 20.10 is out as stable 5.8 might show up as HWE [13:16] Ether_Man: Technically, you could void all your warrenty and run: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D [13:17] beat me too it [13:17] 5.8 is already hwe in groovy [13:18] Maik: would that have the driver in question enabled? === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me [13:19] or jpds >_< [13:25] Ether_Man: They don't provide a kernel config [13:32] How do they not have a config of a binary built kernel O_o === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me [13:38] Ether_Man: Oh, they certainly have one, they just don't post it on that website [13:38] https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.9-rc8/ links directly to them... [13:38] Ether_Man: The .deb sure [13:39] Ether_Man: You asked if the driver is enabled [13:39] Ether_Man: Response> don't have the kernel config, therefore; no idea [13:39] Ah you mean like that === Texas is now known as SpookyTexas [14:00] Not mentioned in the build log so I'd assume it's not. Damn. Oh well, building my own for now is the way to go it seems :/ [14:19] Hello all, I'm running an application on Ubuntu 16.04. That application is dependent on a configuration file present in the home directory. Intermittently we observed that file is getting deleted somehow. Is there any way to identify which process is deleting that file ? [14:19] Hello all, I'm running an application on Ubuntu 16.04.

[14:29] narakrish: make the config file immutable, sudo chattr +i -V /home/username/configfile === beaver is now known as beaver|hehaspwn [15:06] hi, i'm running ubuntu 20.04 and shotcut video editor 20.02.21. My issue is opening shotcut. it overfills my 24" monitor. I can't reduce the app enough to fit one screen. is this an app issue? or an O.S. issue? [15:15] xbfrog, can you press Alt-Space and "maximize" it to only fill the whole screen? [15:15]
