| tomreyn | deadrom: it's probably nvidia related, but i'm not really into that, by heart. | 00:48 |
| deadrom | either really a psu issue or with this installation, I pulled the SSD straight from a test rig and booted the installed 20.04 in the media center pc. adventurous, I know, but I'm used to Linux coping with such things, unlike MS | 00:48 |
| deadrom | yeah. cause of action: install psu for testing, reinstall ubuntu, add power meter | 00:49 |

| KE0VVT | Is there a way to put EVERYTHING in “~/.local/bin/” in my “$PATH”? Some of my programs are in subdirectories. | 01:13 |
| phiona | how do we free up space on lubuntu? | 01:13 |
| hydrian | phiona: Depends on how your machine has the drives partitioned. | 01:15 |
| tomreyn | KE0VVT: you'd need to list the subdirectories seperately. | 01:15 |
| tomreyn | well, you could examine them dynamically, but that's a bad approach security-wise | 01:15 |
| hydrian | phiona: from the CLI. My way favorite method is using `du --max-depth=1 -x |sort -n` then see which directories seem too big for what they are. | 01:16 |
| KE0VVT | tomreyn: If I put it in that directory, I want it to be runnable. | 01:16 |
| KE0VVT | tomreyn: I guess I could keep the directory where it is and symlink its contents to ~/.local/bin/. | 01:17 |
| hydrian | Anyone have issues the an Alcor USB 2.0 hub just crashing when to try to interact with it in any way? | 01:17 |
| phiona | hydrian: someone here once told me to | 01:25 |
| phiona | "df -h" | 01:25 |
| phiona | "df -i" | 01:25 |
| phiona | and then | 01:25 |
| phiona | "sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean". | 01:25 |
| phiona | and then | 01:25 |
| tomreyn | KE0VVT: dirty, ugly, hack, which does not take into account special cases such as blank spaces in directory names: echo export PATH="$(find ~/.local/bin -type d -print | xargs echo | tr ' ' ':'):$PATH" | 01:29 |
| tomreyn | KE0VVT: remove the 'echo' and add it to your ~/.profile if you wnat to use it like this (you should not). | 01:30 |
| tomreyn | the first "echo", that is | 01:30 |
| tomreyn | phiona: you typed too fast there, if you were typing | 01:31 |
| phiona | tomreyn: actually i typed it first, then pasted. | 01:33 |
| tomreyn | use an irc client which inserts a delay after every pasted line then, or use a pastebin | 01:33 |
| tomreyn | and join lines where you can, don't use enter as punctuation. | 01:34 |
| tomreyn | this helps working around the bots quieting you. | 01:35 |
| phiona | tomreyn: so what do we do in order to free up space? | 01:35 |
| tomreyn | phiona: first you find out what's consuming the space, and whether it should be. | 01:39 |
| tomreyn | phiona: maybe i can give a better answer when you can describe the details of the problem you're facing, if any. | 01:40 |
| phiona | tomreyn: how do we find out what consuming space? | 01:42 |
| tomreyn | phiona: you can use the du (disk usage) command on a terminal, or the ncdu text-graphics interface, or baobab on gtk-based desktop environments. | 01:43 |

| KE0VVT | tomreyn: I ended up just symlinking contents to bin/. | 01:58 |
| tomreyn | i think we'll make much better progress this way than by approaching this generically | 01:58 |
| oerheks | yes, that was the old way, of removing unused kernels, nowadays autoremove does this too | 01:59 |
| tomreyn | KE0VVT: works for me. ;-) | 01:59 |
| phiona | tomreyn: bcoz i want to install the ubuntu update which is just coming out now on LUBUNTU, and i think i have little space left. | 02:02 |
| tomreyn | phiona: df -h | grep -v ^[a-z] will tell you how much space is left on your file systems | 02:06 |
| phiona | oerheks: how do we do that exactly? how do we use autoremove to free up space? | 02:06 |
| phiona | tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/ZHJDRAgQ | 02:12 |
| oerheks | the command is in your own paste. from way back when kernel 3.13 was awesome | 02:12 |
| tomreyn | phiona: you have 3.4GB available on the root file system, 14 GB available on the home file system | 02:13 |
| phiona | tomreyn: yes, i know | 02:14 |
| tomreyn | phiona: 19 GB are allocated on the root file system, it *may* be possible to regain some space there, using oeheks command, or by browsing through those subdirectories other than /home | 02:14 |
| tomreyn | well, some of them | 02:15 |
| phiona | tomreyn: what oerheks command? | 02:16 |
| phiona | oerheks: what was awesome? i did not know it. i just copy pasted it. | 02:18 |
| oerheks | so, did you try it already? | 02:18 |
| phiona | oerheks: yes but it was a long time ago. i does not work nnow. i think its because of this..."sudo rm -rf /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-4*" | 02:23 |
| oerheks | i hope you don't have such old kernel. | 02:23 |
| oerheks | i think you won't be able to delete much more than an unused kernel from sda6, all you can do is clean out sda7 /home/ | 02:24 |
| phiona | oerheks: nope. im always updated. | 02:25 |
| phiona | oerheks: so,what do i need to replace "sudo rm -rf /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-4*" with? | 02:26 |
| oerheks | sudo apt autoremove | 02:28 |
| phiona | oerheks: actually i run this command whenever i have an update notification from LUBUNTU. sudo -- sh -c 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get dist-upgrade -y; apt-get autoremove -y; apt-get autoclean -y' | 02:31 |
| phiona | oerheks: do you think this removes all unnecessary files? | 02:34 |
| phiona | tomreyn: how do i regain space on the root file system? | 02:40 |
| === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK | ||
| tomreyn | phiona: you can clean the apt cache (apt clean), but this usually just works temporarily. | 02:46 |
| tomreyn | phiona: you can remove old kernel images located in /boot, by uninstalling their linux* packages ( dpkg -l linux* | grep -E '^[ri]' ) | 02:47 |
| tomreyn | phiona: and you can purge some apt packages you no longer need. | 02:48 |
| tomreyn | phiona: the latter you can do using the "synaptic" graphical application, for example, or just by looking through your desktop environments' application menu, and then running apt purge SOMEPACKAGENAME to delete a given software | 02:49 |

| phiona | tomreyn: yes . im on 32 bit install. | 02:52 |
| tomreyn | phiona: just upgrading to ubuntu 20.04 wont be possible then. if the cpu supports 64-bit ( grep -o -w -c 'lm' /proc/cpuinfo shouold return something > 0) you can do a fresh 20.04 installation, keeping your existing /home partition + file system | 02:54 |
| phiona | tomreyn: it returned a 2. | 02:57 |
| tomreyn | phiona: your CPU is 64-bit capable. ideally, you'll also have a mimimum of 4 GB RAM. free -h should report >=4 GB where the "total" column crosses the "Mem" row. | 02:59 |

| Toadisattva | was 20;04 released as 32 bit? | 03:22 |
| Bashing-om | phiona: And you were on 18.04 - took the release upgrade offer with out proper preperation to make the jump ? | 03:23 |
| Bashing-om | (no - 20.04 does not support 32 bit ! ). | 03:23 |
| Toadisattva | is 18.04 officially the end of 32 bit support? | 03:24 |
| Bashing-om | Toadisattva: Well - 18.04 will continue the 32 bit support (for many apps) untill EOL . | 03:25 |
| phiona | Bashing-om: no. i did not upgrade. | 03:26 |
| signofzeta | Ubuntu dropped the x86 architecture after 19.10. 18.04 is the end of the line, it seems. | 03:27 |
| Maik | yep | 03:27 |
| signofzeta | i missed that. but then again, i haven't run 32-bit in many years. | 03:27 |
| * signofzeta laughs in amd64 | 03:28 | |
| Maik | you still can use 18.04 til 2023 and if you enable ESM til 2028 when available iirc. | 03:28 |
| phiona | what happens after EOL and we dont upgrade? | 03:34 |
| leaftype | phiona: nothing, except you don't get any more updates | 03:35 |
| leaftype | so if there are security holes that aren't found for another year, you won't get the fix | 03:35 |
| mason | To be fair, we never get the fix for security holes that haven't been found. | 03:40 |
| Maik | phiona: it'll leave you with a vulnerable OS, just like unsupported Windows version like XP or W7 that people still seem to hold on to | 03:42 |
| Maik | if you really need 32bit you'll have to switch to Debian. But in the future 32bit will disappear anyway, it's being phased out. | 03:44 |
| mason | Hrm. Specifically, 32-bit support will continue on for ages but only as a secondary architecture for 64-bit hosts. | 03:45 |
| phiona | Maik: why debian? what about lubuntu? | 03:46 |
| Maik | also 64 bit only | 03:46 |
| mason | phiona: Derivatives tend not to have the engineering headcount to do real forks, which is what it'd require - rebuilding media, packages, etc. | 03:46 |
| Maik | phiona: every ubuntu release from 19.10 onward is 64bit only | 03:47 |
| Maik | also it's official flavors | 03:47 |
| mason | phiona: Do you have hardware that only runs 32-bit, or do you run 32-bit for other reasons? | 03:48 |
| Maik | phiona: see? https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ | 03:48 |
| phiona | is debian ubuntu? | 03:48 |
| mason | phiona: If you're choosing a 32-bit OS just for 32-bit application support, you're fine upgrading, as you can continue to use your 32-bit software. | 03:49 |
| Maik | phiona: no | 03:49 |
| ecbrown | phiona: no, but ubuntu is based off debian | 03:49 |
| phiona | mason: 64 bit capable hardware but i have only 2 gb ram. | 03:51 |
| mason | phiona: That's fine. | 03:51 |

| guiverc | phiona, I did a test of Lubuntu 20.10 on a 2GB laptop earlier today (lenovo thinkpad sl510 (c2d-t6570, 2gb ram, i915)) It's not a device I'd love as my main box, but it works | 03:53 |
| Maik | less than 4GB = 32 bit. 4GB or more run 64bit. | 03:53 |
| Maik | phiona: can't you max out the RAM? | 03:54 |
| phiona | is debian as fast as lubuntu on 2 gb ram? | 03:54 |
| Maik | try it | 03:55 |
| guiverc | phiona, I'll discuss debian in #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic, but not in his room | 03:55 |
| signofzeta | 32-bit pointers take up less memory than 64-bit pointers, but you also gain CPU registers in long mode, so while it may consume a little more memory, performance should be comparable, depending on the app | 03:58 |
| phiona | Maik: i tried to before but the technician said i cant add any more ram bcoz its something about the ram bays not working. | 03:58 |

| hwpplayer1 | I ticked up, Sources in the Ubuntu Software section, then i run update command and see that output W: Target Sources (restricted/source/Sources) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:7, so i just deleted the restricted for line 7. Any issues here ? | 14:04 |
| Seveas | Maybe. Could be that you're now missing sources :) | 14:34 |
| Seveas | or did you mean you just deleted the word 'restricted'? In that case it should be fine. | 14:34 |
| hwpplayer1 | I just deleted the second | 14:35 |
| converge | my mouse stopped working after last dist-upgrade, lsusb doesnt show my mouse in the list, any idea how I could fix it? | 14:52 |

| Nebuntu | Hi, I'm using ubuntu 20.04 and cannot get usb-c connected. I'm using a device that is ready for usb-c, the cable that is ready for usb-c and the right entry for the usb-c on the computer. Ubuntu says with lsusb -t that usb-c would be ready on Bus 02 (5000M) while it always loads the device on Bus 01 (480M). Any ideas? I googled but couldn't find a | 17:26 |
| Nebuntu | way. | 17:26 |
| hwpplayer1 | Where is gnome3 notification tray history located ? on Ubuntu 20.04 | 17:32 |

| jmadero | hi all - not sure what happened but I lost my sound, pavucontrol only shows dummy output, tried reinstalling pulse, no go, also checked second user on computer and same problem so it's system-wide | 17:36 |
| PeGaSuS | hello guys. i have a stupid question: i have a vps running Ubuntu 20.04. I have only a few IPv6 addresses in the netplan config file. but using a specific software (eggdrop), it seems to grab a random IP from the whole /64 block that aren't even in the netplan config. how can this be possible? | 17:37 |
| jmadero | seems related to my squeezelite install that I did last night, just tested my LMS and audio output is fine | 17:37 |
| BenderRodriguez | this is bothering me | 17:38 |
| PeGaSuS | shouldn't any program bind only to the IP addresses specified on netplan? | 17:38 |
| BenderRodriguez | why is the Ubuntu download page trying so hard to hide the non LTS versions of Ubuntu Desktop | 17:38 |
| BenderRodriguez | or was that removed altogether? | 17:38 |
| Maik | BenderRodriguez: it's not hiding non lts releases, there are none at the moment. 20.10 will be out next week the 22nd. the 19.XX series are both EOL | 17:39 |
| BenderRodriguez | ok I see | 17:43 |
| BenderRodriguez | so because a new update is looming, the current non-LTS is hidden? | 17:43 |
| Maik | there is no current non-lts | 17:44 |
| Nebuntu | To my usb-c problem: dmesg | grep -i USB shows among others that "new high-speed USB device found" | 17:44 |
| BenderRodriguez | Maik: oh because the LTS version was just released therefore is the most bleeding edge version? | 17:44 |
| Woet | BenderRodriguez: all the non-LTS are EOL, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 17:44 |
| Woet | BenderRodriguez: there is nothing newer than 20.04. | 17:45 |
| oerheks | LTS is not bleeding edge | 17:45 |
| Maik | BenderRodriguez: 20.10 is currently still Beta and they don't show it on the website............. | 17:46 |
| Maik | as i said, 20.10 is a non-lts release which will come out on the 22nd of october. Maybe it will show up on the site after it's released. | 17:47 |
| Nebuntu | hmm I have the same issue with my raspi4b | 17:56 |
| Nebuntu | If usb-c is activated it should show at least 5000M under lsusb -t, right? | 17:58 |
| Maik | Nebuntu: seems no one is around at the moment to answer that | 17:59 |
| Nebuntu | Maik OK, thanks. | 18:00 |

| tomreyn | Nebuntu: i'd say that if the device keeps showing up as connected to a different bus then it's not physically connected to the usb-c bus. | 18:03 |
| tomreyn | i.e. you'll need to make sure that there's actually a connector available on the enclosure, and that it connects to the usb 3.0 bus' connector on the mainboard. | 18:05 |
| Nebuntu | tomreyn The physical slot is marked with a SS-USB-sign | 18:05 |
| tomreyn | Nebuntu: on the mainboard? | 18:05 |
| Nebuntu | tomreynI haven't open up my laptop, it shows on the outside | 18:06 |
| tomreyn | so it's a laptop, i see. if the SS port would not connect to the usb 3.x bus that'd be a grave HW design problem, it's probably something else. then. | 18:09 |
| tomreyn | Nebuntu: you could search the web for this laptop model ( journalctl -b | grep DMI: ) and "usb 3" OR "usb ss" just to rule out a HW design failure. | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | Nebuntu: i just read up on this. apparently there's some mechanism which will dynamically assign non SS capable devices to lower speed hubs. that's according to this post where the OP reports to have connected different devices to the same external usb port, but where it got assigned to different usb hub: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/491526/usb-3-0-external-hard-disk-only-operating-at-480-mbit-s | 18:22 |

| en1gma | ok thanks | 18:24 |
| oerheks | en1gma, why would you want this? old kernel, vulnerabilities.. | 18:24 |
| oerheks | pull the ethernet cord :-D | 18:24 |
| en1gma | yea i know. i have to run some old version of ubuntu 18.04 because this program dont work in 20.04 | 18:24 |
| en1gma | https://github.com/gasparka/spectrogram see the ubuntu 20.04 note | 18:25 |
| oerheks | .. and what makes you think it will not run on 18.04.5 ? | 18:25 |
| oerheks | yes, your install is that old. | 18:25 |
| en1gma | i tried 18.04.5 but i cant remember exactly what happened | 18:26 |
| en1gma | i got 2 installs. one is 20.04 that im on now and another laptop with some version of ubuntu i just keept testing versions with but i think i need to disable automatic recommended updates | 18:26 |
| en1gma | to do some real testing | 18:26 |
| tomreyn | note that we can't support installations where updates are disabled on purpose, since this means unfixed bugs. | 18:27 |
| === jem_delibes100 is now known as jem | ||
| Nebuntu | @tomreyn Thank you for the article. I tried here two usb3.x cables and three usb-sticks (of which I don't know if any of them is usb3.x). However it always shows me 480M. I'm going now to restart in windows (I have dual boot) and check what the reaction is there. Else maybe I'll try firmware update for laptop. | 18:33 |
| Nebuntu | @tomreyn Hi again, I just wanted to say again thank you for the help. On windows it also load on USB2.0 . Looking around I found out that even though the two cables come from two very recent phones with quick charging capability, they are very likely usb2.0 (=usbc is not automatically usb3.x). The sign on the cables are just usb and not ss-usb. | 19:02 |
| Nebuntu | Tomorrow I'm gonna go to shop and buy one - I guess thats the issue. Sorry, for asking in the wrong channel for Ubuntu as it turned out to be elsewhere related. | 19:02 |
| grinchier | hello all, i was wondering did mokutil always come up as an option when updating the kernel? I never noticed this before. | 19:04 |
| grinchier | also i'm wondering if I did it right. I selected enroll mok from the mokmanager at reboot. but then i panicked and hit escape and typed in the password. lol | 19:05 |
| jeremy31 | grinchier: mokutil has only been used for 4 years | 19:06 |
| grinchier | so you mean everytime the kernel updates in ubuntu you get the notification? I never realized lol | 19:06 |
| jeremy31 | It might be something with dkms and unsigned modules | 19:06 |
| grinchier | its just funny cause I was in here this week to try and figure out how to get my wifi driver to work with ubuntu. since secure boot always re-enables itself after a few weeks on this HP laptop. I just ordered a usb card, but then I did an update and the mokutil option popped up. and now the onboard wifi works with secure boot enabled! lol | 19:07 |
| grinchier | but i'm concerned i actually disabled it or did something wrong. because I didn't select any keys or create any keys. | 19:08 |
| grinchier | i selected enroll mok. but then i got confused and panicked at the next menu so I hit escape. then it asked me to put in the password which I did. then it rebooted and now my onboard wifi works | 19:08 |
| jeremy31 | I just disable Secure Boot on every computer-- why I never see mok messages | 19:09 |
| grinchier | I do use a 3rd party dkms driver for the wifi card. I Just want to make sure secure boot is still working properly. | 19:09 |
| grinchier | it can't be disabled on mine after a few weeks it re-enables itself in the bios | 19:09 |
| jeremy31 | What wifi? | 19:10 |
| grinchier | umm let me check | 19:10 |
| grinchier | RTL8821CE | 19:10 |
| jeremy31 | using the rtl8821ce-dkms package then | 19:11 |
| grinchier | i used instructions i found online to wget from the thomas spinho repo i think it is | 19:11 |
| grinchier | let me check | 19:11 |
| oerheks | jeremy31 +1 | 19:11 |
| grinchier | this is what I did sudo apt-get install --reinstall git dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821cecd rtl8821cechmod +x dkms-install.shchmod +x dkms-remove.shsudo ./dkms-install.sh | 19:14 |
| grinchier | but everytime secure boot would re-enable in the bios it would stop working | 19:14 |
| grinchier | so this time I used the usb card I bought. updated. and then i got the option to use the mokutil on reboot | 19:15 |
| grinchier | and now it works with secure boot enabled. i just want to make sure I used the mok manager correctly | 19:15 |
| grinchier | so all i had to select was enroll mok and nothing else? select no keys or nothing? | 19:15 |
| jeremy31 | grinchier: that github is actually the source for the rtl8821ce-dkms package. You should be good if it works with Secure Boot enabled | 19:17 |
| grinchier | ok great. so let me ask another question. this is my sisters laptop for my little niece to use for remote schooling. are they going to have to do the mokutil thing everytime they update the kernel? They are not too pc saavy | 19:18 |
| zprx | Hi guys! After upgrading my system to ubuntu 20.04.lts I got coil whine / static noice when I play CS:GO. Never had this issue before. When my CS:GO windows is inactive the noice stops (checking discord or someting while CS still runs). | 19:18 |
| jeremy31 | grinchier: It might be best to turn Secure Boot off | 19:18 |
| grinchier | well like i said. it can't be disabled. | 19:19 |
| grinchier | this hp laptop is weird | 19:19 |
| grinchier | the presumption is poor quality cmos battery | 19:19 |
| jeremy31 | Must be a different model than my HP, Secure Boot has been off since I bought it | 19:20 |
| grinchier | so is that a yes they will have to do the mok manager everytime they update kernel? if thats the case I might as well just give them the usb wifi card I bought for them. | 19:20 |
| grinchier | then they can just stick that in if the wifi onboard stops working after they update lol | 19:20 |
| grinchier | ya i'm sure it is a different model lol | 19:20 |
| jeremy31 | grinchier: PLay it safe and let them have the USB | 19:20 |
| grinchier | ya i will do that | 19:21 |
| grinchier | it was only 15 bucks lol | 19:21 |
| jeremy31 | Just in case it is needed | 19:21 |
| grinchier | yea | 19:21 |
| grinchier | last question. how to set ubuntu to automatically update or notify when there is updates available? | 19:22 |
| oerheks | unattended updates are automaticly set. | 19:22 |
| oerheks | you would notice when you boot, no? | 19:23 |
| grinchier | ok i found the options in the software and updates window. great. | 19:23 |
| grinchier | security updates are installed automatically. other updates are displayed weekly | 19:23 |
| grinchier | sounds good | 19:23 |
| grinchier | they should be all set. | 19:23 |
| grinchier | hmm this is interesting though in the additional drivers tab. it is saying the realtek wifi card is not working and is selected to do not use. but it is working hmm | 19:26 |
| grinchier | i'm going to select the use dkms source option and see what happens | 19:27 |
| grinchier | uh oh its stuck on applying changes lol | 19:28 |
| grinchier | maybe that was a bad idea ugh | 19:28 |
| oerheks | not stuck i guess, just wait for the module to be build | 19:29 |
| grinchier | ok | 19:29 |
| grinchier | patience is a virtue I guess lol | 19:29 |
| oerheks | we know :-) | 19:29 |
| grinchier | i got a 13 year old laptop i use with lxde i should be use to long waits lol | 19:30 |
| grinchier | well pk-debconf-help is using almost 100% cpu so I guess something is doing something | 19:33 |
| grinchier | its done | 19:34 |
| grinchier | gonna reboot and see if it still works with secure boot | 19:34 |
| FrankyGov | Heya | 19:40 |
| grinchier | welp it works. guess we'll see what happens in a few weeks when they update the kernel hehe | 19:46 |
| FrankyGov | I tried a few video editing apps like: KdenLive, FlowBlade, OpenShot | 19:46 |
| FrankyGov | I found that most of them take a lot of time to save the changes made | 19:47 |
| FrankyGov | I was looking for a simple application to cut/trim some videos. On Windows there are simple apps like WonderShare or Filmora | 19:48 |
| FrankyGov | Does anybody know any similar app for Ubuntu? | 19:48 |
| TJ- | FrankyGov: taking time to save suggests they are converting the format rather than doing a copy | 19:49 |
| netameta | How do i add python3 to path, so when i run python it will use python3 and not python2 ? | 19:53 |
| oerheks | netameta, search for the python is python3 package | 19:55 |
| rfm | netameta, you can install the python-is-python3 package, but I found it easier just to put an alias in my .bashrc | 19:55 |
