[00:09] <tomreyn> did you try unmanaged-devices=interface-name:p2p-dev-wlp2s0 according to NetworkManager.conf(5) ?
[00:09] <Mibix> tomreyn what was that command you wanted me to run to purge the old 3rd party apps?
[00:10] <Mibix> sabnzbd is still on as a service but not in apt-get
[00:10] <tomreyn> in case it's no longer in your scrollback there's irc logs
[00:10] <tomreyn> !irclogs
[00:11] <tomreyn> Sven_vB: the DEVICE SECTION paragraph looks more suitable actually
[00:11] <tomreyn> match-device=p2p-dev-wlp2s0
[00:11] <tomreyn> managed=0
[00:20] <Sven_vB> tomreyn, I'll try that, thanks!
[00:21] <Sven_vB> I even tried that a few weeks ago, unfortunately I didn't save the results. :|
[00:24] <Sven_vB> ah I remember now, I didn't like that approach because I'd have to modify a central file instead of using a drop-in file.
[00:25] <Sven_vB> I'll try anyway, just to complete my lab notes.
[00:26] <tomreyn> Sven_vB: there's /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/
[00:27] <Sven_vB> oh, right! thanks! :)
[00:29] <Sven_vB> it actually worked! finally! :-))
[00:48] <Mibix> so did mysql change service names or something when updating to 20.04
[00:57] <Mibix> sudo apt-get install mysql cant locate the package
[00:58] <tomreyn> i don't think there ever was a package named "mysql", was there?
[00:58] <tomreyn> you probably want either mysql-client" or "mysql-server" or both. those may be versioend, too
[01:01] <matsaman> mariadb-server
[01:04] <Mibix> you are right tomreyn its mysql-server
[01:05] <Mibix> but i cant get it to start anymore grrr
[01:07] <Intelo> My usb web cam's light just turned onn. I am not using any app to share video. How can I check whats doing this?
[01:09] <rk4> so if gnome is in snap in 20.04, what is this package - 'gnome (1:3.30+2) [universe]', is it packaged in both traditional apt-getable form /and/ snap?
[01:11] <Mibix> heh tomreyn here is the log if you have any ideas :D https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rFB2p6KWMy/
[01:12] <Mibix> unknown variable 'query_cache_type=1'
[01:14] <tomreyn> rk4: i think you're mistaken about gnome(-shell) moving to snap, if you were referring to the default ubuntu desktop environment.
[01:15] <tomreyn> Mibix: mysql options can change across versions, that's what release notes and migration guides are good for

[01:56] <conjo> hi guys testing hexchat in cli can anyone ping back please
[01:57] <conjo> help
[01:57] <Bashing-om> ping conjo
[01:57] <conjo> thanks man
[02:01] <rk4> tomreyn: interesting, i had thought the gnome snap in https://www.howtogeek.com/670084/what-you-need-to-know-about-snaps-on-ubuntu-20.04/ in the screenshot was the gnome DE
[02:21] <bumblefuzz> so, I just set up a new server
[02:21] <rk4> high five!
[02:21] <bumblefuzz> and made the ssh login key only
[02:21] <rk4> is this story going to end with 'i cant login'
[02:21] <bumblefuzz> quite the opposite
[02:22] <bumblefuzz> I moved the key pair on my client machine
[02:22] <bumblefuzz> and tried to log in and it worked
[02:22] <rk4> is there more
[02:22] <bumblefuzz> no
[02:22] <CarlFK> guess #2: I can't sudo
[02:22] <rk4> well my story time!
[02:22] <bumblefuzz> no, I still have the key pair
[02:23] <rk4> i setup a server, set sshd to allow key only logins, and then i tried to login and it worked :)
[02:23] <bumblefuzz> I should only be able to log into the remote host with the correct key pa
[02:23] <bumblefuzz> pair*
[02:23] <rk4> keep going
[02:23] <bumblefuzz> but if I moved the key pair to a different folder, why is it still able to log in?
[02:23] <rk4> is it stored in an ssh-agent or similar construct
[02:23] <CarlFK> um.. you don't move "pair"
[02:24] <bumblefuzz> the key pair on my client is not in the .ssh folder
[02:24] <CarlFK> keep your private key on the client you are logging in from.
[02:24] <bumblefuzz> I have 2 files, the private and public keys, stored in ~/.ssh
[02:25] <CarlFK> there is a .ssh on both the client and the server
[02:25] <bumblefuzz> I have the public key in the ~/.ssh folder on the server
[02:26] <bumblefuzz> but it must be checked against the private key in the ~/.ssh folder on my client, correct?
[02:26] <CarlFK> good.  that should let you log in.  (but not sudo, which you might care about)
[02:26] <CarlFK> yep
[02:26] <bumblefuzz> but ONLY if I have the key pair in the ~/.ssh folder on my client
[02:26] <bumblefuzz> if I move the key pair on the client, it should not log in, correct?
[02:26] <rk4> well, isn't it also in the ssh-agent process..
[02:26] <CarlFK> na, you don't need the public key on your client
[02:27] <bumblefuzz> I don't know
[02:27] <rk4> pass lots of -v options to your ssh command and see what it says
[02:27] <bumblefuzz> I moved the key pair to a different folder, expecting it not to log in... and it logged in
[02:27] <rk4> my guess is its grabbing the key from the agent
[02:28] <rk4> another possibility is connection multiplexing, but agent is more likely
[02:28] <CarlFK> btw - check out ssh-copy-id and ssh-import-id - little scripts that take care of moving public keys around
[02:29] <bumblefuzz> I don't actually want to move the keys
[02:29] <bumblefuzz> I was just trying to check the config
[02:30] <bumblefuzz> if you change the password, its easy to tell if the password is changed
[02:30] <bumblefuzz> but if it's key login, it just logs in... so, I can't tell if I just configured it wrong or if it's using the correct key
[02:31] <rk4> ssh -v -v -v and pastebin what it says...
[02:32] <rk4> censor the sensitive bits, if there are any
[02:32] <bumblefuzz> found this: Will attempt key: user@archibald RSA SHA256:blahblahblah agent
[02:32] <bumblefuzz> it seems to look in the folder and not find the key though
[02:33] <bumblefuzz> then that attempt pops up
[02:33] <rk4> what does 'ssh-add -l' say
[02:34] <bumblefuzz> it lists the key from above
[02:34] <bumblefuzz> is that the agent?
[02:37] <rk4> see 'man ssh-add' and look for the -l option, then also see 'man ssh-agent'
[02:38] <bumblefuzz> ok, it's using the agent
[02:38] <bumblefuzz> even with the files in the correct location
[02:38] <bumblefuzz> it's still using the agent
[02:38] <rk4> you could kill the agent, flush the agent of identities, or pass ssh a flag to not use the agent
[02:39] <rk4> that will help demonstrate the hypothesis that the agent is why the file location isn't mattering
[02:40] <bumblefuzz> I've always just used 'ssh user@10.10.10.10' to connect
[02:40] <bumblefuzz> I don't really know that much about using ssh other than that
[02:40] <bumblefuzz> I just started making sure the file permissions on host and client are set correctly
[02:40] <bumblefuzz> what else should I worry about for good practices?
[02:42] <rk4> 'good practices' are mostly just opinions, 2FA might be appropriate, i use firewall rules extensively to limit who can reach sshd at all
[02:43] <bumblefuzz> yeah, I use static IP's and set ufw to allow only the admin IP to port 22
[02:50] <GBGames> I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. My router has a static IP for my desktop, and I have a docker container that I want to address using a different hostname. I setup my router so that the hostname points to my desktop's IP currently, but I plan to change it in the future. Everything works mostly fine, except when I reboot my Ubuntu machine. My network settings say that I'm using "Wired connection 1" which shows  a DNS address that matches the
[02:50] <GBGames>  router, but when I try to reference the hostname, I see "Could not resolve host: gbinfra"
[02:51] <GBGames> If I click on "eth0", then click back to "Wired connection 1", suddenly gbinfra is accessible. I am not sure what to look for to figure out how to get it to work upon a reboot, though. Any ideas?
[03:49] <rk4> GBGames: only 1: you could not use nm for eth0
[03:55] <felixi> how do i find out which package a file belongs to?
[03:56] <matsaman> felixi: dpkg -S, or apt-file if not already installed
[03:57] <felixi> matsaman: thanks ;)
[04:14] <Voxel> Hey all :) Is the `Version:` static per processor in dmidecode?
[05:17] <Ether_Man> Hey so I want to make an install from liveusb. I want to install on ZFS, but I don't want to split boot and root, nor do I want a swap partition. (or an efi partition if that can be avoided but I'm kind of guessing it's not). Using the installer's default for full disk, I get all of these, but doing a manual partition setup, I don't even see ZFS in the dropdown. Can it only be used with that default layout?
[05:21] <wyoung> Ether_Man: You might want to check if grub supports booting off zfs
[05:21] <Ether_Man> wyoung: It works to boot when selecting to use the whole disk as zfs with the default layout...
[05:22] <Ether_Man> I just don't want to have 3 gig boot partition where 50 megs is being used... Nor do I want a 3gig swap partition. I'm really limited on space on this thing and I really can't afford such waste on it.
[05:33] <Ether_Man> Guess I'll try with btrfs instead. That also supports compression after all
[05:35] <rk4> yeah about btrfs and compression...
[05:37] <Ether_Man> What about it?
[05:37] <rk4> https://wiki.debian.org/Btrfs#Other_Warnings
[05:39] <rk4> ZFS was buggy for a number of years too in Solaris, so it's par for the course in complex software
[05:40] <Ether_Man> The only warning there for compress is outdated and applied to multidisk setups, not single disk. Besides, I don't particularly care about any data on there as such. It's all just temporary anyway so unless it's bad enough that I have to reinstall every day or week or so... It's fine.
[05:43] <rk4> ah, fair enough
[06:07] <DarkTrick> Is there a way to see which component consumes shortcuts?
[06:13] <DarkTrick> Hm... the actual problem magically disappeared
[06:19] <monojamoon|> Hi guys! Want to install Ubuntu 18.04.5! What is the minimum size of the flash drive required?
[06:19] <monojamoon|> Is it 4GB?
[06:21] <mozzarella> what is the file of teh iso file?
[06:23] <monojamoon|> 2GB
[06:25] <monojamoon|> Is it fair to assume that the expansion would not go beyond 4GB?
[06:36] <EriC^> monojamoon|: expansion?
[06:37] <EriC^> monojamoon|: ah you mean like if its decompressed or something?
[06:37] <EriC^> monojamoon|: it'll be same size as iso no decompression and stuff
[06:40] <monojamoon|> Understood! Thanks
[06:53] <EriC^> monojamoon|: no problem
[07:12] <DarkTrick> monojamoon|, Though I would advice you to go on at least 4GB or better 8GB. Otherwise you get in trouble as soon as you update stuff
[07:13] <DarkTrick> also, installation might become a hassle - depending on your knowledge
[07:16] <lotuspsychje> monojamoon|: ubuntu asks 8GB free space minimum on your harddisk too these days
[07:19] <monojamoon|> So over 8GB if am running Ubuntu from the USB stick. 4GB and above if I am just installing the OS onto my system. Did I get it right?
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> monojamoon|: your usb stick reccomended 4GB and your harddisk 8GB+
[07:20] <monojamoon|> Got it!
[07:43] <conjo> how would i make a aa-genprof for a .sh file
[07:43] <conjo> "sudo aa-genprof example.sh"
[07:44] <conjo> is sh classified as a program or a file
[07:58] <pedrocr> Ubuntu 20.04 is stuck at the spinning boot animation for a long time
[07:59] <pedrocr> if it was doing fsck shouldn't it be giving me a % or at least allow me to switch to a console?
[07:59] <conjo> is it an old pc wait a while
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> pedrocr: did you try F1 to switch to textboot yet?
[07:59] <conjo> hi lotuspsychje how are ya
[08:00] <lotuspsychje> conjo: good tnx
[08:03] <pedrocr> lotuspsychje: I've pressed ESC, space, Enter, F1, Alt-F1, etc with no change
[08:04] <lotuspsychje> pedrocr: what kind of pc is this?
[08:04] <pedrocr> lotuspsychje: Lenovo X230
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> pedrocr: maybe try a lubuntu
[08:06] <pedrocr> this computer has been running fine for months, this is not the first install
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> pedrocr: can you still enter grub?
[08:07] <pedrocr> lotuspsychje: probably, just need to force it off again
[08:07] <pedrocr> but if it's doing fsck I just need to let it finish
[08:08] <pedrocr> I just find it strange I can't get to a text boot somehow
[08:40] <Keetz> How do I fix snaps not installing because of xz compression in ubuntu 20.04? https://pasteboard.co/JuOSBC3.png
[08:45] <oerheks> Keetz, interesting, file a bugreport?
[08:45] <Keetz> oerheks, i haven't yet
[08:46] <Keetz> I tried completely purging snapd and the software center... Now i re-installed snapd but can't install the snap-store because the problem still exists
[08:54] <Keetz> Unfortunately 20.04 Gnome has been so frustrating for me :/ gnome-shell crashing after every screen lock... alsa/pulseaudio constantly screws up my audio and only allows playing through HDMI instead of my audio port... And now snaps stopped working out of the blue because of filesystem compression
[08:56] <TJ-> Keetz: re: Pulseaudio - that is not usually PA's fault; the default audio sink is ALSA device index 0, and in your case I'd bet that the HDMI audio sink is index 0. There are well-proven cofig changes to deal with that.
[08:57] <Keetz> TJ-, i don't think that it is just defaulting to HDMI, it simply ONLY allows HDMI, even though I was just listening through my headphones... This usually also happens after a suspend or lock
[08:57] <TJ-> Keetz: as for Gnome; use an alternate Desktop Environment - I dumped Gnome 10 years ago becauce it dumbs down and obscures or obstructs functionality in many areas. I use XFCE4 (xubuntu-desktop)
[08:58] <TJ-> Keetz: ahhh... if suspend/resume then that is more than likely due to a faulty ACPI firmware of the PC itself, for which there is a workaround that often helps, acpi_osi (where we have Linux pretend to be Windows). Workaround here: https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html
[09:00] <Keetz> TJ-, interesting
[09:03] <Keetz> Gonna be interesting to see if that fixes my audio issue, thanks TJ-
[09:04] <TJ-> Keetz: if not, then next step is to compare the kernel log from a cold (power -ff) boot and after a resume from suspend to identify potential clues
[09:10] <Kelar> hello

[09:25] <DynamicFail> Hi. I am running Ubuntu in WSL. I had a terminal process running in VScode and then had to restart VScode and the terminal window was closed. Is there a way to re-attach to that window so I could close the processes that were being run?
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> !ubuwin | DynamicFail
[09:27] <DynamicFail> lotuspsychje I am already runnning ubuntu on WSL
[09:27] <lotuspsychje> DynamicFail: i know, but we have seperate channels for it, as you might find more likeminded volunteers for help on your case
[10:13] <Deyaa> 12:10 PM <Deyaa> What is gonna happen if I redirect up of google.com to webproxy in my pc hosts file?
[10:13] <Deyaa> IP*
[11:24] <GBGames> rk4: Do you mean that at boot eth0 isn't using network-manager, but when I toggle back and forth with network-manager, eth0 is now getting changed and therefore using the settings there?
[11:50] <luna_> Translated the new AD and ZFS Strings that will land in Ubuntu 20.10 Installer
[11:58] <flying_sausages> yo anyone knows what happened to the Wireguard PPA? What about Xen or Bionic support now? is it in repos?
[11:58] <rk4> GBGames: i mean you could try managing eth0 through /etc/network/interfaces
[12:00] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:01] <oerheks> all you need is wireguard-tools, IIRC
[12:02] <oerheks> !info wireguard-tools
[12:02] <oerheks> * as it is in the kernel since 5.4
[12:44] <dropheaders> since 5.6 but backported to 5.4
[12:45] <BluesKaj> a few vpn services have the wireguard option now
[13:03] <pressure679> Is there a Linux OS for smartphones? And if so is there a tutorial to install it unto a smartphone?
[13:03] <oerheks> there is ubuntu touch, join #ubports for that
[13:04] <wyoung> pressure679: Yes, it's called Android
[13:05] <pressure679> wyoung: Not Android.
[13:05] <oerheks> ignore the joker
[13:05] <wyoung> oerheks: Who?
[13:06] <wyoung> I was being serious, are you saying I am incorrect?  That Android isn't a Linux OS?
[13:06] <pressure679> oerherks: I read on the ubuntu website ubuntu touch only supports a small range of devices? - It seems some have managed to install it unto other devices and installed some drivers by themselves through GitHub. I can do it though, right?
[13:06] <pressure679> wyoung: Android just doesn't have the Debian software repository.
[13:06] <hggdh> wyoung: this is the Ubuntu support channel, not Android
[13:06] <oerheks> pressure679, number of devices is growing, see that channel for support
[13:07] <wyoung> pressure679: That wasn't your question though
[13:07] <wyoung> hggdh: So why did pressure679 ask an off topic question for?
[13:07] <hggdh> wyoung: just let it rest, please
[13:07] <pressure679> wyoung: You're ok, I meant not Android though.
[13:08] <wyoung> pressure679: OK, there was a ubuntu based phone OS based on some QT web XML soemthing or otherm, but it was a flopo
[13:08] <wyoung> flop*
[13:08] <wyoung> hggdh: Sure mate
[13:10] <pressure679> Thanks for the answers.
[13:32] <LordDoskias> hello i'm on ubuntu 20.04 and my microphone stopped working - it's detected by ubuntu and i can change its options but when i try oone of the online sites to record my voice i don't hear anything
[13:32] <LordDoskias> and it used to work like an hour ago o_O
[13:34] <bparker> any idea what would make random keyboard keys not register (sometimes have to hit it twice) besides a bad keyboard/cable ?
[13:38] <bparker> apparently it was just the current terminal(s) I had open for some reason... reopening new tabs fixed the issue in gnome-terminal.
[13:40] <wedr> You can do a screen capture while a context menu is open in Ubuntu 18.04, but for some reason, in Ubuntu 20.04, you can't do a screen capture like that anymore. Anyone knows why?
[13:46] <wedr> ok, just gotta use the Gnome Screenshot tool.
[13:46] <wedr> It has a delay capturing
[13:49] <wedr> Noooo, you can't capture context menus???
[13:59] <pizzaiolo> wedr not a perfect capture but you could try using gnome-screenshot -a for an area screenshot
[13:59] <pizzaiolo> dont recall the exact shortcut but it's listed in the keyboard shortcuts settings
[14:03] <wedr> Yeah, it's (Fn + PrtSc) for the screen capture,  or CTRL+(ScreenCapture), CTRL+ALT+(ScreenCapture), CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+(ScreenCapture). It's just somehow, if a context menu is active in any application, you can't invoke the commands.
[14:59] <pentest1337> hi

[14:59] <pentest1337> tnx
[15:25] <MacGregor> I notice in the Files app (Nautilus?) in Ubuntu 20.04. When I move a file to the Trash there is a popup that appears letting me know that I moved a file to the Trash. Is there a way to prevent that popup?
[15:26] <oerheks> see preferences, tab behavior > ask before emptying the trash
[15:29] <MacGregor> oerheks: I followed your advice and the popup still shows
[15:29] <MacGregor> oerheks: I think that is for asking if you want to "empty the trash" rather than moving a file to the trash
[15:30] <oerheks> oh right
[15:31] <oerheks> you mean that little popup on top?
[15:32] <MacGregor> Yes, just below the titlebar. The popup goes away after a bit but I want to suppress the popup altogether
[15:33] <oerheks> there is no setting for that, not even with dconf editor, this is  a hack > https://askubuntu.com/questions/1217969/remove-undo-deleted-popup-in-ubuntu
[15:33] <oerheks> added the line .app-notification { padding: 0; margin: -80px 0 0 0; opacity: 0;}
[15:34] <MacGregor> oerheks: Oh, never thought about doing it through CSS, nice idea. Thank you
[15:34] <MacGregor> I write my own web pages/sites so CSS is easy
[15:35] <oerheks> :-)
[15:35] <leden> MacGregor: 'select file' + delete will send file direct to trash
[15:37] <ioria> MacGregor, you know how the 'gsettings' cmd ?
[15:37] <tomreyn> MacGregor: the css approach will prevent *any* notifications from any application. is this what you want (I assume not)?
[15:37] <ioria> MacGregor, you know how 'to use' the 'gsettings' cmd ?
[15:37] <MacGregor> tomreyn: Yeah, just thought about that, not a good idea methinks
[15:38] <MacGregor> leden: Yes, that still shows the popup though
[15:38] <ioria> MacGregor,  there are 2 settings :  org.gnome.nautilus.preferences  org.gnome.gedit.plugins.filebrowser.nautilus  must be set to 'false'
[15:38] <MacGregor> ioria: I haven't used that command in a while but willing to learn if it does what I want
[15:39] <oerheks> gsettings on cli, or install dconf-editor
[15:39] <oerheks> (GUI)
[15:39] <ioria> MacGregor,  clse nautilus; gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences confirm-trash false ; gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.plugins.filebrowser.nautilus confirm-trash false    ; open again nautilus
[15:40] <tomreyn> MacGregor: from what i read online, there's no way to suppress specific notifications such as the one you mentioned, yet.
[15:40] <oerheks> good spot, ioria , could not find it on askubuntu
[15:43] <MacGregor> Oohhh, dconf editor.. I like! Found some other nice things there like "always use location entry" - this keeps me from having to CTRL+L in Nautilus
[15:45] <MacGregor> ioria: confirm-trash only asks if you want to empty the trash.
[15:45] <MacGregor> tomreyn: That's what I was afraid of. Will have to change my habits and thoughts, no problem. Thank you
[15:46] <MacGregor> dconf-editor is quite handy
[15:47] <MacGregor> I'm assuming we no longer need gconf-editor, I think that was for gnome 2.x
[15:47] <oerheks> it still works, for gnome3
[15:48] <MacGregor> Ah, ok
[15:48] <MacGregor> I'm loving Ubuntu 20.04
[15:52] <MacGregor> tomreyn: Also, that CSS change is theme-specific
[15:52] <MacGregor> Not doing that as it acts as you said
[16:13] <aldaek> Is there an ideal driver for the Sound Blaster Audigy 2?
[16:21] <egrain> is snap the way you are supposed to install stuff now?
[16:22] <strive> I use snap as a backup in case apt doesn't have the package I need.
[16:22] <MacGregor> egrain: I use apt, I'm not using snap until it's actually required system-wide
[16:23] <egrain> well, let's say i'm a girl and i like to click on icons. would i install it via snap even though i didn't know what snap even was when using ubuntu 20.04?
[16:23] <MacGregor> If apt doesn't have the package I need I'll change apps before I use snap
[16:24] <egrain> so snap is amazing. i get it.
[16:24] <nascentmind> Hi. Why doesn't Ubuntu fonts have all the different weights of a font. For eg Inconsolata has many font weights but there is only 2-3 weights of that font.
[16:25] <MacGregor> Well, snap won't harm the system.. or it wouldn't be included. I've just been using Linux since 1999 and I see snap as a newcomer that needs more research before I switch
[16:26] <egrain> didn't answer my question though. anyway, doesn't work anymore anyway. "unable to install inkscape. cannot perform the following tasks:"
[16:27] <MacGregor> egrain: I installed inkscape with apt on Ubuntu 20.04 - no issues
[16:27] <egrain> i didn't know you set snap traps for girls.
[16:27] <egrain> if i had installed it, i would have used apt-get.
[16:27] <egrain> she didn't know. now it freezes.
[16:27] <MacGregor> apt-get should work too
[16:27] <egrain> well, now she can't reinstall it actually.
[16:28] <MacGregor> Remove the snap package and use apt-get install inkscape?

[16:33] <nopnotme> I have an issue when running any *apt* commands. I was originally trying to install nodejs on a Ubuntu 16.04 server that I only use via ssh, however I am getting an error using apt now regarding grub-common versions: https://pastebin.com/UwFi9fdF
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> nopnotme: you might wanna try #ubuntu-server for likeminded volunteers
[16:44] <nopnotme> okay thank you
[17:24] <kur1j> We have a server that has an LTE module in it that stays connected to our VPN so we can access it. However, when it is docked and in range of WiFi we would like to have it use the WiFi connection (since its a lot faster). We have both connected, however the routes get all screwy (default route is the LTE device) is there a recommended way of
[17:24] <kur1j> flipflopping them?
[17:26] <pavlos> nopnotme: do you have synaptic on the server? it can fix broken pkgs

[17:44] <specter> So if I have an issue with a repo package not installing due to it needing a perl package not supplied in Focal, is that  bug report to the ubuntu team or the package team?
[17:45] <lotuspsychje> specter: repo package as in external added ppa?
[17:45] <frad> where could I ask questions like this? the front cover of my notebook cracked and I don't find a new cover for my model. I'm thinking about glueing or scotch taping it. Should I? If not,what should I do?
[17:46] <pavlos> nopnotme: I meant aptitude (works in terminal), synaptic needs X
[17:46] <specter> lotuspsychje: No, from official ubuntu repos
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> specter: ask in this channel first, and attack a pastebin of your apt error please
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> attach :p
[17:49] <specter> Well it's just one line. Actually it installs, apparently, but will not run.
[17:49] <specter> irssi: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so.5.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:49] <specter> Checking Focal, perl is now 5.30 and 5.26 isn't available.
[17:52] <specter> My workaround was to compile myself, and as it has built in perl support, it runs (using it now). But I'd like to report it, just not sure who to report to.
[18:18] <joaquinito01> can someone help me with windows 7?

[18:25] <DanDev> What is the best option to play win games on ubunutu? Wine/PlayOnLinux?
[18:26] <mgedmin> steam and games that support linux natively
[18:26] <mgedmin> although I've also had some success with playonlinux
[18:26] <mgedmin> (but also some failures)
[18:27] <mgedmin> (also, sorry, missed the word "win" in your question)
[18:27] <matsaman> DanDev: I'd check appdb.winehq.org first, yes
[18:36] <specter> DanDev: Lutris is a thing.
[18:39] <DanDev> specter: That's awesome. Thanks
[18:54] <pa> hi
[18:54] <pa> Cannot initiate the connection to ppa.launchpad.net:80
[18:54] <pa> is launchpad down?
[18:56] <tomreyn> $ nc -vvz 91.189.95.83 80
[18:56] <tomreyn> Connection to 91.189.95.83 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!
[18:58] <tomreyn> pa: firewalled? proxy-walled? proxy-derouted? does ppa.lauchpad.net resolve to the same ip address for you?
[18:59] <pa> tomreyn, 91.189.95.83 80
[18:59] <pa> yes
[18:59] <pa> proxy nothing i suppose
[18:59] <jpds> pa: It's on your end, works fine for me
[19:00] <tomreyn> try a traceroute from where it fails
[19:00] <pa> bond0.peluda.canonical.com
[19:00] <pa> stops there
[19:01] <tomreyn> that's the last but one hop on my route, too
[19:01] <pa> hmm.. what could it be?
[19:01] <tomreyn> blacklisting, i'd guess. i assume #ubuntu-mirrors or (actually more likely) #canonical-sysadmin may be able to look into it for you.
[19:01] <pa> trying thanks
[19:02] <tomreyn> read channel topics first
[19:19] <pa> wut..
[19:19] <pa> traceroute still fails but apt now works
[19:20] <tomreyn> ipv4/ipv6 ?
[19:20] <pa> v4
[19:21] <pa> (i think/hope)
[19:22] <tomreyn> sometimes you'll see one of them working, the other not, this could cause the result you just reported.
[19:56] <weretav1a> After switching to nvidia driver, I get no desktop on boot. I was able to get desktop back by restoring a backup of an old xorg.conf but I believe I need to generate a new xorg.conf to properly use the driver. Is there some way to generate a new one automatically?
[19:57] <genii> !xorgconf
[19:59] <weretav1a> Well if I just delete it that does not get me a desktop either. What is the up to date way to not use Xorg.conf (believe me, I would love to not deal with it)
[20:01] <weretav1a> are there many places I need to search and destroy these files so that the automatic configuration can work?
[20:04] <matsaman> weretav1a: if you dpkg -L the nvidia driver package, sometimes it comes with a script to crap out xorg.conf contents
[20:04] <matsaman> dpkg -L nvidiawhatevs | grep -i bin
[20:10] <weretav1a> matsaman: to understand, so we want there to still exist an xorg.conf file somewhere on the system, in general, or not?
[20:10] <weretav1a> do we want*
[20:12] <matsaman> weretav1a: so for most devices everything "just works" without making your own config
[20:12] <matsaman> for the minority that don't 'just work', you put configs in a place other than xorg.conf
[20:12] <matsaman> xorg.conf.d
[20:13] <matsaman> IIRC you can still use xorg.conf if you want, though
[20:13] <matsaman> but if you can find nvidia's config generator script, you should be able to put its output in either location, most likely
[20:13] <weretav1a> I don't want, unless that's the only way.
[20:13] <matsaman> well if you have the config generator, and it can make you a config that allows your X to work, that would be a pretty simple path forward
[20:14] <matsaman> otherwise I would try nouveau first, instead of nvidia's own proprietary driver, unless you have some reason to do otherwise
[20:14] <weretav1a> the system manufacturer only claims to support proprietary
[20:15] <matsaman> sure, but does the system manufacturer claim to support the OS you're using?
[20:15] <weretav1a> I see in /etc/X11 the xorg.conf and some backups I made, I don't currently see xorg.conf.d there, is this located somewhere else?
[20:15] <matsaman> yes they're different locations
[20:15] <weretav1a> yes, it is a "system76", which is Linux specific, from what i'm told ;p
[20:15] <matsaman> /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ maybe
[20:16] <matsaman> doesn't really matter, you're getting support from #ubuntu, not system76
[20:16] <weretav1a> is there some list of every possible place that X is going to search for these files?
[20:16] <matsaman> nouveau will generally be less trouble, if it doesn't utterly fail to be compatible
[20:16] <matsaman> I'm sure there's a list somewhere, but those should be the only two places of note
[20:17] <weretav1a> yeah theres a whole bunch of them in that folder
[20:17] <weretav1a> which I never touched
[20:18] <matsaman> probably came with Ubuntu, then
[20:18] <weretav1a> should I try to rename everything .conf.bak?
[20:22] <matsaman> weretav1a: probably not, but you can if you want
[20:22] <matsaman> weretav1a: worst that will happen is something to do with X will change its behavior/break
[20:22] <matsaman> you would only have to put them back and restart X to restore it

[21:20] <CoJaBo> When doing manual setup with a UEFI partition (I don't want to repartition the whole thing, as it has data on it already), do I need to format the EFI System Partition in some way? The installer shows an error about VFAT, and then hangs formatting the / partition...
[21:20] <CoJaBo> I googled this, and most of what comes up is "you should never format it", but it didn't exist before so it's already blank..
[21:20] <CoJaBo> (I'm installing Kubuntu, but I assume it ought to be the same)
[21:21] <codecutter> TJ: I did that. https://pastebin.com/FWKfUp4P
[21:22] <TJ-> codecutter: the error message is pretty explicit - fix the file
[21:23] <codecutter> i did https://pastebin.com/KsSi7BGC
[21:23] <Woet> it says "Unknown lvalue 'User' in section 'Unit'" and "Unknown lvalue 'Type' in section 'Unit'"
[21:23] <Woet> so why do you still have User and Type in [Unit]?
[21:24] <codecutter> TJ: wrong pastebin https://pastebin.com/Pxb3X3NC
[21:24] <Woet> so what is the new error message?
[21:24] <codecutter>  https://pastebin.com/FWKfUp4P
[21:25] <Woet> either your time is very wrong or that error message is from 21 minutes ago
[21:25] <TJ-> last report was at 21:01 - what time is it now?
[21:26] <codecutter> well, that the output when i 'sudo service projectx status`
[21:27] <Woet> so try starting it again.
[21:27] <Woet> or whatever you did last time to trigger the error.
[21:27] <codecutter> it was status
[21:27] <codecutter> but start is okay (so far)
[21:27] <Woet> that doesn't trigger the error
[21:27] <Woet> it tells you the error.
[21:28] <codecutter> seems fine (according to logs)
[21:29] <codecutter> would the service start on boot?
[21:29] <CoJaBo> "The creation of swap space in partition #1 of LVM VG system-vg, LV swap failed."
[21:30] <codecutter> will*
[21:31] <CoJaBo> ..ok, that's just because it's mounted.. weird
[21:31] <CoJaBo> Time to restart again <_<
[21:35] <CoJaBo> I think my issues might've been that I DID need to format it first, but when the installer failed the first time, it left stuff in a messy state
[21:46] <Mibix> ugh
[21:46] <Mibix> upgrading broke my smb too :(
[21:46] <Mibix> weird if the computer had credentials store it let them in
