[05:44] bassex: if driver is loaded, things should work, but how recent is your cpu/card? [05:44] lotuspsychje: im extremely new to linux. as far as an every day user [05:44] just bought it. ryzen 7 3800x or 3700x and a radeon rx 5500 xt 9gb [05:45] lotuspsychje: just bought it. ryzen 7 3800x or 3700x and a radeon rx 5500 xt 8gb [05:45] bassex: yeah well then your best bet are going as latest ubuntu releases and kernels possible [05:46] bassex: i would start with 20.10 with kernel 5.8 and see if you get your system smooth enough for your likings [05:46] lotuspsychje: so i should be good then? im on 20.10 and kernel 5.8 now [05:46] lotuspsychje: i was about to run a phoronix benchmark or whatever lol [05:47] bassex: well its hard to say from here, do you feel its running allright? [05:47] bassex: driver is loaded, try a few extreme graphics tests [05:47] lotuspsychje: i just reinstalled but i think so. im just trying to make sure i have any and all fucntionaly i can. im probably overthinking it. ive tried to go to linux fulltime a few times and it hasnt worked out but this time its been smooth..so far, until now at least [05:48] lotuspsychje: ah. i think i found the problem. im not in the render or video groups. is it video or videos? [05:49] bassex: video groups? [05:49] lotuspsychje: usergroup. maybe that was just the amdgpu proprietary...when i try to run kmscube it tells me permission denied [05:50] lotuspsychje: failed to set mode: Permission denied [05:50] bassex: needs sudo? [05:51] lotuspsychje: tried with and without [05:51] bassex: never used it myself, maybe more info in the manpage?

[05:52] lotuspsychje: i think there is an issue with my window manager. let me restart real quick though [05:53] bassex: from askubuntu; The demo was fine but in this case it must be run by using Ctrl+alt+F1 and ./ kmscube . [05:54] lotuspsychje: hmmm [05:55] try the manpage bassex [05:55] lotuspsychje: control alt f1 takes me to the login screen. no terminal [05:55] lotuspsychje: ok will do. ty [05:56] lotuspsychje: there isnt one? [05:56] could be, not all packages have one [05:58] lotuspsychje: hmm yeah im having tracker and file system issues. gonna restart [06:00] Hi. Can I expect Ubuntu 20.04 to ever upgrade its libinput version? It's still running the same version it launched with and I need a new one. [06:00] !latest | dasb [06:00] dasb: 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. [06:01] ok thanks [06:01] dasb: whats the reason you need a new version? [06:02] version 1.15.6 allows flat acceleration profile on touchpads [06:02] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/264?commit_id=034226d9049fb96b2f741e7d9062f35cf1cff680 [06:03] dasb: you have an ubuntu bug on this? [06:04] It's not a bug, it was a lack of a feature on libinput's part. [06:05] If that's what you meant [06:05] dasb: ok, have you tryed a higher ubuntu release yet to see if the fix is there? [06:05] lotuspsychje: which higher release? [06:05] mmm, isn't 20.04 the latest? [06:06] dasb: you can try 20.10 [06:06] bassex: that wasnt for you :p [06:06] lotuspsychje: thats what im saying...im on 20.10 lol [06:06] lotuspsychje: haha [06:07] Ok. Maybe I'll try 20.10. Thanks. [06:08] I guess I'll wait until the 22th [06:09] dasb: liveusb also possible as a test [06:14] hi is there a postit app for ubuntu?

[08:37] conflict with NTP on boot [08:38] hmmm. (i'm on focal) but when i installed chrony it automatically disabled systemd-timesyncd and if i uninstall chrony it automatically re-enables it again [08:39] xtao: will check thank you [08:40] obviously doesn't help your exact question as you are talking about bionic and ntpd. but just thought i'd mention how it probably should work [08:40] xtao: I thought perhaps just disabling systemd-timesyncd in the systemd service [08:41] the difference might be because i used apt rather than apt-get. i wonder if that does anything more intelligent? [08:45] no, apt/apt-get should not anything [08:45] /lib/systemd/system/ntp.service in bionic has Conflicts=systemd-timesyncd.service [08:45] which AFAIU is the thing that disables timesyncd if you want to use ntpd instead [08:46] unfortunately they have disconnected now === tds5 is now known as tds [09:13] Is there actually a way, so that I can have multiple ssh config files in different directories? If yes how? [09:17] ssh -F configfile ? [09:18] ssh config files do have Match clauses, so you can have one file that picks the right variables depending on the hostname [09:18] or that [09:19] [amongst other criteria, but i just use it by hostname] [09:19] me too. that's the best method assuming that's actually what you're trying to acheive [09:20] Include /path/to/ssh-config.d/*.conf ?

Will check! === mateen1 is now known as mateen === mateen1 is now known as mateen === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [11:19] Hello, I have UFW related quesiton. I have two network interfaces, one is public (eth0) and one which is private (eth1). I would like for example, to deny all incoming traffic on port 1234 from eth0, but allow all communications on eth0. I already tried to add something like "ufw deny in on eth0 to any port 1234", but it seems to be also blocking traffic from eth1. Can't figure out how achieve that with UFW. [11:19] [11:20] sorry - ***but allow all communications on eth1 [11:23] Hello, when I install a new Ubuntu 18.04 EC2 instance, I want to install python2.7 using AWS UserData (basically, non-interactive script). When I attempt to do so manually, a (pink) pop up comes up prompting to accept "Restart services during package upgrades without asking". Python installing continues after I accept. Because I want to do this immediately after creating the Ubuntu instance, I would like to accept thi [11:23] s prompt from a script. How can I do that? [11:28] mhawash: how exactly are you installing python2.7? i dont know much about AWS [11:28] sudo apt-get install python2.7 ? [11:28] Yes [11:29] I start with sudo apt update, then sudo apt install python2.7 [11:29] export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive [11:29] apt-get -y install python2.7 [11:29] give that a go [11:31] Ok give me a moment [11:35] Thanks @EriC^. That seems to work [11:35] mhawash: no problem [11:36] grandfso: tbh i use ufw when i'm lazy and only want to achieve trivial things, otherwise i reach for iptables or nftables, the latter has a very nice syntax [compared to iptables] [11:48] Hi all [11:54] hey guys how can i fix the profiling with apparmor and snap? I just installed ubuntu 20.10 and was trying to install pycharm but i get pycharm-community requires classic confinement [11:54] i had the same issue with 20.04 but i was able to use most apps [11:55] bassex, ubuntu groovy (20.10) hasn't been released yet, so it belongs in #ubuntu+1 [11:55] rk4: makes sense, thanks for the comment. [11:57] If you understand and want to proceed repeat the command including --classic.

[12:55] slowpoke: you might ask the experts at #ubuntu-server [12:55] use the normal iso, not live? [12:55] oh fck, why is it live :< [12:56] the ubuntu download website has gotten me confused apparently [12:56] live is introduced to fix issues, when a server gives problems. [12:56] but live is what they offer as "Option 3" … https://ubuntu.com/download/server [12:57] all server images seem to be live? https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04.1/ [12:57] (a) live-server is the only supported server image for 20.04 AFAIY, but (b) it shouldn't randomly drop into a shell; that sounds like something crashed [12:58] no indication of any wrongdoing on dmesg, no coredumpctl in that environment [12:58] ask in #ubuntu-server maybe? there are more knowledgeable people there [12:58] sure [12:59] oh, apparently I just switched ttys [12:59] my bad === Scotty_Trees is now known as Scotty_ZZzzs [14:04] hi, is there an easy way to enlarge my /boot mounted disk partition? /dev/sda1 in this case: https://gist.github.com/Kudret/bc0b2e7f1c79e1b899cbe456a15e1ca0 [14:04] Or is it time for a fresh install? [14:11] I am looking for magic I guess. But similar things happened so many times in the past with GNU/Linux. :) [14:13] Can I create disk imageof sda2 store it on let's say on /dev/sdf. Repartiotion sda1 pretty much the same way except bigger /boot and write image on /dev/sdf to /dev/sda2? [14:14] EriC^: ^^ duty calls [14:14] Would it cause issue that image on /dev/sdf would be bigger than new sda2 size? [14:14] Or only in case if those large bits were in use? === tds6 is now known as tds === guillaumedsde5 is now known as guillaumedsde [15:23] anyone deeply experienced with qemu/virsh/kvm in here right now? :) [15:25] electrostrong, ask your real question, wait and see? [15:25] is there a performance issue with disabling the hypervisor feature policy for a VM? [15:27] as you can probably guess, some games now have kernel level "anti-cheat" drivers that they install and will not run under a virtual machine (Genshin Impact is the specific game). I've disabled the hypervisor policy which now makes Windows 10 "think" it's running on base hardware [15:34] not sure it affects performance, may be just some tools like clipboard [15:43] thx oerheks - not sure if that applies though to kvm - there are no guest tools like in VMWare or some of the other solutions - by not informing the OS that it is running in a hypervisor, does the OS not use a proper timer, or are there other RTC impacts?

I am using 20.04. [16:51] maybe a theme issue? [16:52] Or language... I am using Finnish. I am running the default theme, though. [16:54] every time on reboot of 20.04 i seem to have open gnome tweaks and re-enable 'map caps lock key to control' anyway to make this happen automatically at boot? [17:05] arooni, maybe this page is any help. storing those mapped keys https://medium.com/@saplos123456/persistent-keyboard-mapping-on-ubuntu-using-xmodmap-cd01ad828fcd [17:07] arooni, what I do is just put 'XKBOPTIONS=ctrl:nocaps"' in /etc/default/keyboard [17:08] arooni, (but this is for X.org, no idea if you're running Wayland.) [17:10] arooni, oops thats 'XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"' of course [17:11] elias_a: sounds like a font (or font cache) issue [17:11] discourse has several threads about similar problems with snap-ified apps [17:19] many thanks oerheks and rfm [17:19] i'm not sure what i'm using; its just the default window manager for 20.04 [17:23] arooni, X.org is the default, you have to explicitly select wayland, so the /etc/default/keyboard should work for you (note it doesn't take effect until the next window server start) [17:23] rfm: and i assume the gnome tweak would then be allowed to run? i want the caps lock to be mapped to control [17:24] but it seems like it becomes a regular caps lock key every reboot [17:24] yes, tweak does not store those combo's. [17:24] sadly [17:25] thanks for the exact config to add [17:25] arooni, that option will set caps lock as control at boot. you won't need to do anything in tweaks. [17:25] oh yay! [17:25] didnt realize that nocaps would mean control === enko-h is now known as enko [17:28] yeah, the option name isn't the clearest [17:32] arooni, all the possible options are documented in /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/xorg.lst [17:40] ri use my phone as a wifi hotspot for my ubuntu laptops and rpi3b. since my cellular plans is unlimited H.S.

[17:41] i was just getting ubuntu daily image and then write that to flash drive and then install but thats not the best way to do it [17:49] en1gma: what you are asking has almost nothing to do with ubuntu and everything to do with setting up a mirror or proxy on your phone. === kreyren is now known as nonAssholyRey [17:52] leftyfb thanks and you are correct. i think with the info you just gave me about mirror and proxy is perfect. thanks === WaV_ is now known as WaV [18:02] mgedmin: Ok.

[19:26] !ot | DanDev [19:26] DanDev: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:35] any reason for why dpkg wants to keep configuring secureboot while it is not enabled in uefi? [19:35] Hi, I get trouble with incremental backup wiht tar. After 3 backups, it says that the directory are renamed (?) and make like a full backup [19:37] coconut: secureboot-db package? [19:38] EriC^, no just bumblebee-nvidia and mate-optimus [19:41] really weird... it just keep intended for configuring uefi [19:41] secure boot i mean [19:43] I'm having some issues where my wifi connection from my ubuntu laptop is about 10x slower than my wifi connection on my other devices [19:43] it's similarly much slower than when I plug in via ethernet [19:43] so I'm thinking maybe I should install new firmware for my wireless adapter [19:44] it's an intel 8265/8275 i guess [19:45] anyway I got to this git tree of intel wireless adapter firmware but I have no idea which of these versions I want or how to download the file https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ [19:45] my kernel version is 5.4.0-51-generic [19:45] zdorovo: you need to check which firmware files the iwlwifi driver declares; those are the only firmwares it'll request for loading [19:46] can you help me do that? [19:47] zdorovo: that driver covers many different chipsets so you'll need to figure out which firmware filenames are applicable to the device in the PC: " modinfo -F firmware iwlwifi " [19:48] zdorovo: to get the exact details of the adapter: "lspci -nnk -d ::0280" (0280 is the PCI device class for wifi ) [19:49] thanks! Here are some pastebins with the output [19:49] https://pastebin.com/ZEQ0BmUk [19:49] https://pastebin.com/Aeq4np9c [19:50] so the modinfo command included "iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode", which is the the latest 8265 ucode file on the intel website. Does that mean there's no new firmware for me to install? [19:54] can you provide a minimal iso link for ubuntu? [19:55] <_Trullo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD#A64-bit_PC_.28amd64.2C_x86_64.29_.28Recommended.29 [19:57] note that mini.iso is not supported and not available for 20.04 [19:59] zdorovo: it may already be in the system; "dpkg -S iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode" === tds9 is now known as tds [20:02] TJ-: it says " linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode [20:02] " [20:02] zdorovo: so the file is installed, from the package linux-firmware, and thus no need to download it [20:03] zdorovo: in which case it'll be loaded by the iwlwifi driver [20:03] TJ-: I see, thank you [20:04] zdorovo: if the wired Ethernet is also slow then I doubt the wifi adapter is the cause [20:04] TJ-: no, the wired Ethernet is quite fast [20:04] TJ-: and all my other devices have a fast wifi connection, so I don't think it's an issue with the router [20:04] zdorovo: oh, yeah, I see I misread your earlier comment [20:04] Hmm the night light mode works for the notebook monitor and my second monitor, but first main monitor it is not applied. Any ideas? [20:05] zdorovo: there may be some clues in the logs [20:07] TJ-: that makes sense [20:07] zdorovo: which band is the AP in, 2.4 or 5.x ? [20:09] I'm connected to the 5Ghz band, if that's what you mean? [20:09] zdorovo: right, so possibly less likelyhood it is caused by congestion [20:10] TJ-: aha that makes sense [20:10] zdorovo: firstly, check the reported bitrate with "iwconfig" [20:10] It says 54 Mb/s [20:11] zdorovo: that's quite slow unless the AP, or client, is locked to only do 802.1a rather than 802.1an or 802.1ac (MIMO) [20:13] TJ-: ooh interesting. I'm not sure why that would be the case [20:14] zdorovo: " iw list" might reveal something since it'll report capabilities of the adapter and radio [20:15] TJ-: here's a new pastebin: https://pastebin.com/00ecSKtB [20:15] I like wavemon for observing my wireless connection quality === jess is now known as j [20:16] TJ-: it says "bitrate" and only lists numbers up to 54 Mbps... [20:16] mgedmin: I hadn't heard of that, thanks for the tip! [20:17] zdorovo: those are the non-HT standard bit rates [20:17] zdorovo: try "iw info" e.g. "iw wlp2s0 info" [20:19] TJ-: Here's the output: https://pastebin.com/W7cs6N8n [20:19] i hope that info isn't sensitive lol [20:19] zdorovo: there's your reason: "width: 20 MHz (no HT)" [20:20] it is apparently only using 802.1a 20MHz wide channels (no HT - high throughput aka wider channels) [20:22] zdorovo: for comparison with mine: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/H9Q24KThW7/ [20:23] TJ-: interesting! should I manually change the channel width? === vlm_ is now known as vlm [20:24] zdorovo: I'm puzzled as to why it is using that, unless the 8265 can't do more [20:25] TJ-: I'm using a thinkpad x1 carbon from 2017.... it's supposed to have 802.11ac :| [20:25] zdorovo: but it is an 802.1ac device with 2x2 MIMO so capable of much more https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/94150/intel-dual-band-wireless-ac-8265.html [20:26] will these instructions of how to install from source work on ubuntu? http://www.cpan.org/src/ [20:29] oh no, they left [20:29] well, I have to run as well. I'll be back later.... [20:30] Mibix, yes for an 'non-threaded perl' version, see https://perlmaven.com/how-to-build-perl-from-source-code [20:32] hi !! [20:33] oerheks ok but in sudo apt info it still says Version: 5.30.0-9build1 even after the sudo make install of the new version [20:34] logout/login maybe? === j is now known as jess [20:37] grrr no [20:38] if you added it to your path, and uninstalled the old one.. [20:39] ehh [20:39] not sure how to do that [20:39] I installed my ubuntu minimal as guest in virtualbox but cannot access it from my host machine [20:39] if i do apt-get remove perl it looks like its going to uninstall so many programs i need as well [20:41] rexwin: what network did you give to the guest (NAT, bridge, ...)? [20:42] I will check that pavlos [20:48] rexwin: if nat, your ip is probably 10.0.2.15, it can go out but cannot 'see' the host. If bridge, the guest will get an ip like host and they can ping each other. See table 6.1 in https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html [20:57] hey, i'm trying to use a font that i downloaded but i can't get it to work. i "un-disabled" bitmap fonts by deleting the no-bitmaps.conf file from /etc/fonts/conf.d and i put the font into my fonts directory [20:57] when i run fc-list i can see it [20:58] but i can't use it in any applications [20:58] I get 192.168.56.101 from my virtbox and can ping from the host but cannot connect to it [20:58] prion, after install, logout/login again? [20:59] yes i rebooted [20:59] rexwin: this is the VB's internal dhcp server, you need port fwd [20:59] how to disable firewall inside ubuntu [20:59] Using php-fpm with apache2 on Ubuntu, the error log paths you define in the virtual host configuration are respected. Does anyone know how Ubuntu accomplishes that by default, while other distributions such as Fedora don't? [20:59] prion, then i guess that font is not suitable.. [21:00] rexwin: sudo ufw disable [21:00] port fwd is greyed out [21:00] not sure why you deleted no-bitmaps.conf... [21:01] rexwin: https://medium.com/nycdev/how-to-ssh-from-a-host-to-a-guest-vm-on-your-local-machine-6cb4c91acc2e [21:03] oerheks: everywhere i've looked online has said it's necessary [21:05] prion, i am not going to ask what font/url, i like to keep my no-bitmaps.conf [21:14] Does Fortnite run in wine on Ubuntu? [21:15] merpnderp, check out #winehq and their database [21:15] !wine [21:15] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [21:15] thanks oerheks !!! [21:15] The latest answer I can find to that is "mostly" [21:22] so i guess when you do sudo make install you can never remove it? [21:24] if done properly, you compiled the uninstaller too [21:25]
