[00:00] Still no, I just plug in and out [00:00] I figured that would be good enough. I can restart the PC [00:03] Zilenc3: you could disconnect (wired connected) and then reconnect (top right of your screen) [00:03] Zilenc3: that will force 20.04 to get a fresh network ip [00:03] pavlos, a dhcp request? [00:05] .sh files used to run by clicking in filoe manager. Now it only asks me what is the default application [00:05] derpadmin: I think it does an ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 [00:05] pavlos, most likely yeah [00:05] and a dhclient? [00:06] I'm thinking bash, but I can't find it as a selection [00:09] pavlos, Under Connection Info, I see "more connections" with an old static IP (which I deleted after I switched to DCHP). Also the default route is the old gateway ip [00:09] I did what you suggested disconnect and reconnect via top right tray icon [00:10] Zilenc3: maybe reboot the router to clear stale info [00:11] Zilenc3: top right, there is a network symbol, I click wired connected, turn off, wait 1 sec, turn on, you should have an ip [00:36] OK I figured it out.

[01:07] asdfgh: I'm guessing one of those commands is returning a non-0 exit code [01:07] asdfgh: so let's run them manually and find out: "sudo /usr/share/grub/grub-check-signatures; echo $?" [01:08] 0 [01:08] asdfgh: so that is OK [01:09] asdfgh: " sudo /usr/lib/grub/grub-multi-install --target=x86_64-efi; echo $?

[01:11] what messages? there are no messagesd [01:11] just 1 [01:11] https://bpa.st/NK5A :) [01:12] asdfgh: now we need to enable bash shell command echoing so we can find out which line in that shell script fails.

[01:18] CAN I JUST REMOVE THAT PACKAGE? [01:18] grrr... pardon again [01:18] asdfgh: no, it's rather essential! [01:21] grrr [01:21] however "update-grub" works without problems [01:22] they do different things [01:23] i found the issue that seems related to ESP flag [01:23] the 'install' is supposed to write the GRUB core image grubx64.efi into the EFI-SP [01:23] is /boot/grub/efi/EFI/ correctly mounted? [01:24] TJ-, how can i check it? [01:25] asdfgh: "mount | grep efi" [01:25] no [01:25] it is not mounted [01:25] you'll see something like /dev/nvme0n1p1 on /boot/efi type vfat [01:25] ok that is the problem [01:25] so you need to figure out why, and correct it [01:26] is there an entry for it in /etc/fstab ? [01:26] i really have no clues for it [01:26] let me check [01:26] asdfgh: "grep efi /etc/fstab" [01:26] nothing [01:26] that's the problem then. Where did that go? [01:27] have you been editing fstab recently? [01:27] no absolutly, it is a dedicated web server with preintsalled ubuntu 20.04 [01:27] hmmm [01:28] fstab https://bpa.st/423Q [01:28] asdfgh: what does "sudo blkid" report? [01:28] https://bpa.st/TUIQ [01:29] asdfgh: I think the problem here is that the system is installed to start in BIOS mode, not EFI, but somehow you've managed to start it, or install, the EFI packages. There is no sign of an EFI System partition [01:30] I feel like Ubuntu (im technically on xubuntu) handles memory poorly. Is there a way to file a bug about that? ubuntu-bug wants a specific package [01:30] jjbuggle: in what way does it handle memory poorly? [01:33] TJ-: well, several ways. The default install (18.04) gave me way too little swap, without giving me any option to change that. Next, firefox seems to leak memory, and given that it uses huge amounts of memory in the first place, it leaks a lot of memory. Next, my system seems to try and allocate memory to firefox, even though there isn't any left. Next, the system doesn't give you any warning at all when you are about to run out of m [01:33] emory. Next, my system just locks up swapping. Usually it comes back after awhile, but this last time, I just hard reset my computer after at least 20 minutes of swapping. [01:34] TJ-, [01:34] had problem with IRC [01:34]

asdfgh: what does "sudo blkid" report? [01:34] https://bpa.st/TUIQ [01:34] last messages i have seen [01:34] asdfgh: I think the problem here is that the system is installed to start in BIOS mode, not EFI, but somehow you've managed to start it, or install, the EFI packages. There is no sign of an EFI System partition [01:35] jjbuggle: swap size for a partition is usually set to the amount of RAM + a bit (to accomodate hibernation images) . If firefox is leaing memory that is a bug against firefox package [01:36] TJ-, ok so i can remove that package? [01:36] jjbuggle: locking up whilst swapping is expected; you need to alter the swapiness value for the kernel and consider OOM (out of memory) config options. [01:36] asdfgh: yes - but you should figure out how and why it got installed [01:37] asdfgh: what does "apt list --installed grub*" report ? [01:37] TJ-: its all the things. But I would rather have this in a bug, so I don't have to type this out over and over. Fwiw, I have 12g ram. Installer game me 1g swap. Somehow that later changed to 2g, I don't know how. When I set things up manually, I would do 1-2x of ram [01:37] jjbuggle: is it using a swapfile rather than a partition? [01:38] TJ-: I don't think locking up while swapping is something that _should_ be expected [01:38] jjbuggle: if memory is being paged constantly to the storage device then there is bound to be I/O delays [01:38] asdfgh: what does "apt list --installed grub*" report ? [01:39] i do not know what happen on my pc [01:39] i get no connection to monitor [01:39] TJ-: all it's done in the past is just kill some random part of firefox to get more ram. Why can't it do that more quickly? I can reinstall the entire ubuntu system in the time it takes. And why not just tell firefox no when it asks for too much memory? [01:40] jjbuggle: I've used Firefox extensively for years. In my experience it isn't a leak it's a web-application (Javascript) that is sucking up memory - figure out which one is doing it [01:41] jjbuggle: presumably you've lots of tabs open in FF and Javascript running in most [01:41] I just want to file a bug report. It's all the things I mentioned. Even if what you say is true, it shouldn't crash my system [01:41] TJ-, https://bpa.st/TALA [01:42] jjbuggle: as I said, you said FF is leaking, so report against that [01:42] windoz figured this out in the 90s by having a dynamic swap file [01:42] TJ-, my pc has some problem too... i get black screen... [01:42] i do not know the reason [01:42] something like "no signal" from monitor [01:42] i do not know [01:42] i must restart [01:42] everytime [01:42] https://bpa.st/TALA <--- installed packages [01:43] asdfgh: all the installed GRUB packages are for EFI so do not remove anything - I think you have some major problem on that system if the EFI system partition is missing with no mention of it. Did you move the SSD from one system to another? [01:43] no TJ- [01:44] just the defautl config of the server [01:44] with ubuntu 20.04 installed [01:44] fresh install [01:44] asdfgh: then I cannot see how that would even boot! [01:45] asdfgh: your previous pastes did not show an EFI system partition and there is no mention of one in the fstab either, but the only GRUB packages installed are for EFI mode [01:45] what about if i reinstall grub [01:45] remove everything and reinstall [01:47] asdfgh: I'm not sure it will help - if this is a fresh install that you have not tinkered with then I cannot think of any explanation for how it could get in this situation, apparently booted in BIOS mode but with only GRUB EFI packages installed, but no EFI-SP [01:47] grrrrrrrrrrrr [01:48] what is happening to my ubuntu 20.04 [01:48] i get black screen [01:48] very often [01:48] asdfgh: what does "lsb_release -a" report ?

It looks like dd is the suggested command, but I have very little experience with dd [02:17] jjbuggle, mkswap is the way (whatever recommended dd is not to be trusted) [02:19] well, I actually just did it with dd. I used mkswap as well, but I guess I'm done. Thanks! [02:20] fwiw, man mkswap is where I grabbed the version of dd command that I used [02:21] make sure you set sensible permissions on it as well [02:21] a swapfile that everyone can read is no good [02:21] I used this page as the main guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/927854/how-do-i-increase-the-size-of-swapfile-without-removing-it-in-the-terminal [02:21] good?

The BT chip in question is a combo WiFi/BT Realtek RTL8821AE. When using a Bluetooth headset, I can get A2DP mode working correctly, but I can't get HSP/HFP mode working, meaning I can't access the microphone. Any thoughts? [14:49] DWSR, I've seen something similar with 18.04 + 5.4 hwe kernel; trying to switch the device to HSP/HFP a couple times repeatedly and eventually it succeeded, for no good reason [14:49] DWSR: Actually I have no idea. I tested my Sony BT headphones on Ubuntu and was able to switch audio profiles easily [14:50] It looks like the FW for my BT card is missing? Seeing this in dmesg: [ 8.912421] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin failed with error -2 [14:50] any interesting error messages in journalctl around the time you try to switch profiles?

[14:52] apt-file search rtl8821a_config.bin says there's no package shipping that file [14:52] jelly: Yes. [14:53] I keep seeing mention of a package called "firmware-realtek", but that's not available for Focal [14:53] I thought pulseaudio was responsible for dealing with BT audio profiles [14:53] it's from kernel package [14:53] you can download kernels from ubuntu mainline page, with modules and firmware [14:54] I've had some snags from time to time, but switching between A2DP and HSP/HFP and back would usually make things work... [14:54] mgedmin: How are you switching them? I'm trying to switch via blueman [14:54] https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [14:54] DWSR, firmware-realtek is a package for Debian, Ubuntu seems to keep all of those in linux-firmware package [14:54] that's it [14:55] That rtl8821a_config.bin doesn't exist upstream in linux-firmware either [14:57] I've been staring at this for a little bit and part of the problem is that I keep running into instructions for e.g. 16.04 or 14.04, which clearly don't apply. :P [14:57] tried 20.04, but only find config.bin for rtl8821c [14:58] *found [14:58] Interestingly, it appears that duplicating that file might work: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=893912 [14:58] Debian bug 893912 in firmware-realtek "firmware-realtek: Failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_config.bin" [Important,Open] [14:59] Also `rtl8821a_fw.bin` exists in `/lib/firmware/rtl_bt` [15:00] it seems to be missing upstream... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rtl_bt [15:01] Hrm, I'm going to try the suggested workaround in that bug [15:01] brb [15:01] * jelly slow [15:01] DWSR: system preferences -> sound -> there's a dropdown [15:01] Any hint to reduce -> systemd-analyze blame ... 2min 823ms ifupdown-pre.service [15:01] journalctl -b0 _PID=1 | grep Failed [15:01] oct 11 17:39:23 K123... systemd[1]: ifupdown-pre.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

[15:01] oct 11 17:39:23 K123... systemd[1]: Failed to start Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled. [15:02] mgedmin: Ah, yeah, I can "change" the option in that dropdown, but when I subsequently test the audio, it's still high quality (indicating it's still in A2DP mode) [15:02] huh, for me there's a very noticeable drop in quality [15:03] what happens if you select your BT headset as the input source? it should switch to HSP automatically [15:03] DWSR: according to the source code the config.bin isn't needed [15:03] lol I tried to take a screenshot with alt-printscreen, and it screenshotted just the dropdown itself [15:05] mgedmin: It's missing from the input source selection [15:05] jeremy31: I believe you, but the logs tell a different story. [15:06] huh! [15:06] what's the headset? [15:06] Anker Soundcore Life Q20 [15:06] oh hey the file chooser in my chromium is missing all the icons [15:07] DWSR: It that file was really needed, the bluetooth wouldn't work at all [15:07] jeremy31: Again, I believe you, but your statement and my reality are not in line [15:08] Going to restart real quick [15:08] See if copying that file over did the trick [15:09] FWIW, `bluetoothctl` lists the appropriate BT modes for HSP/HFP support [15:13] Has anyone used a "vanilla"/public ubuntu version with a high-end Dell workstation? Like the Precision 5xxx or dual xeon 7920s? I know it's possible to throw Red Hat, Ubuntu, Suse enterprise, etc on them, but I've read that these are "tweaked" by the manufacturer to work well [15:13] Welp, no change. [15:13] Though the error message in `dmesg` is gone [15:14] Anyway yeah, the headset microphone is missing from the Input dropdown in the Sound panel. [15:14] I was wondering how much "tweaking" they actually need to do and if the normal publicly downloadable ubuntu versions work out of box well enough [15:15] Ah! Got it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset#HFP_not_working_with_PulseAudio [15:15] Apparently the Q20s only report as HFP, not HSP. [16:05] Is the new version out now? [16:05] 20.04 [16:06] Also, want to know if the installer supports full disk encryption. [16:08] 20.04 has been out for almost 6 months now [16:08] 20.10 will be out by the end of this month [16:08] the installer supports full-disk encryption [16:09] (at least if you don't try to install side-by-side with another OS) [16:11] Hello I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and everytime I type a sudo command i get feedback that says "sudo: unable to resolve host localhost.localdomain: Name or service not known". It doesnt effect my sudo commands and they execute with no problem but I am curious why I keep seeing this pop up every time and how to stop it. [16:12] and you did a web search on it? [16:15] random1: what does the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf look like? [16:15] mgedmin: Big asterisk on "the installer supports full-disk encryption" [16:15] mine is 'hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mymachines' [16:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 [16:16] DWSR: that's a guide from 2019? [16:16] Matches my experience using the 20.04 installer, though [16:16] 1 moment let me pastebin [16:16] the above guide is on how to encrypt as much as possible. what the desktop installer does is to encrypt the root file system [16:17] ^^ [16:17] I went through it two days ago? select LVM, check [x] encrypt entire disk, type password, done [16:17] full-disk-encryption is a bit of a misnomer. [16:17] mgedmin: I did it last week. I know which boxes you're referring to, they don't do what they say they do. [16:18] yes, okay, they leave /boot and /boot/EFI not encrypted [16:18] https://pastebin.com/CdSng2xK mgedmin [16:18] Which is literally not "full disk encryption" [16:18] I don't have any secret files in either of those partitions [16:18] also my /etc/hosts is https://pastebin.com/DE9rnCv2 [16:18] mgedmin [16:18] and I don't think it's even possible to encrypt the EFI partition? [16:19] random1: weird [16:19] mgedmin: Yeah im lost on this one -_- [16:19] random1: by which I meen: everything looks normal, why would sudo fail to resolve the hostname [16:19] Not sure. The sudo commands go through no problem but i get that message popping up every single time [16:20] Anyway, regardless of what the installer claims to support, any kind of non-default disk partitioning is much easier to do ahead of time instead of relying on the installer.
