johnfgI'm unable to install hplip-3.20.9.03:08
johnfgI've searched for solutions, but can't find any.  Anyone have any experience with this?03:08
Bashing-om!info hplip focal | johnfg03:12
johnfgIf anyone's interested, I can paste the errors.  There seems to be dependencies that are unresolvable by the installer.03:12
ubottujohnfg: hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 3.20.3+dfsg0-2 (focal), package size 199 kB, installed size 519 kB03:12
Bashing-omjohnfg: ^^ Why not the repo version ?03:12
johnfgBashing-om: I must have missed that before when I did an apt search.  I'm installing it now.  Thanks very much!03:14
Bashing-omjohnfg: Great :D03:14

avihhi, i'd appreciate some help with slow-to-launch application over forwarded x (ssh -YC). some applications launch instantly, e.g. xtern or geany or pcmanfm, while some applications take many seconds to open (10s or more), like thunar or file-roller. however, if i login to desktop locally on the same machine, then these apps over forwarded x open quite fast. any idea what's going on? something with dbus maybe?03:38
avih(e.g. machine A is the ubuntu host and i'm at the login screen there, then from machine B i login over ssh to A with forwarded x and launch thunar - many seconds. this happens whenever i launch it if there's no other instance already running. but if i login to desktop on A, then from B it would open instantly)03:40

avihthis only happens to me with 20.04 LTS. previously i was on 18.04LTS and didn't have the issue. another example - meld. if i launch it at B while A is at the login screen it takes 28 seconds, but if i launch it at B while A is at the desktop it's instant03:50

lotuspsychjewelcome bewees05:51
beweeshow can I switch my rootfs to a new SSD. i copied all data over to a luks encrypted ext4 formatted partition. now I have to simply (1) have to add rootfs and swap partition to crypttab (2) add rootfs/swap to fstab, (3) now I'm not sure, I think I have to run an EFI command so that my bios knows that the EFI is now on a new disk right? and then I think (4) I have to run some grub command so that grub knows what disk to load?05:52
beweeslotuspsychje: thanks05:53
beweeshi06:25
beweesdid someone reply yet? I got network issues therefore I got disconnected06:25
beweesnot sure if I should just copy /boot/efi/ to the new disk efi partition. maybe its better to chroot then install it, let me see if theres a command to create efi/ files06:32
beweesinstalled it now with grub-install, but grub-update seems to find only my old rootfs06:40

ice9when I start the OpenVPN's systemd service, it doesn't pickup the conf file /etc/openvpn/server.conf any idea?09:47
mgedminice9: what command do you use to start the service?09:49
ice9mgedmin, systemctl start openvpn09:50
mgedminthat's the openvn client unit, for the server you want systemctl start openvpn@server09:50
mgedminah, no, I misremembered, the generic openvpn service is supposed to find all conf files under /etc/openvpn/ and start the openvpn@... units for each of them09:52
mgedminaccording to /usr/share/doc/openvpn/README.Debian.gz09:52
mgedmindo the logs say anything interesting?09:53
ice9mgedmin, basically the log file isn't created because it didn't read the conf09:55
mgedminwhat about journalctl?09:55
ice9mgedmin, nothing in the journal09:56
ice9mgedmin, it just say in the journal "Starting OpenVPN service..", nothing else09:57
omega_doommgedmin: I can only install from .deb file. Do you know what i am doing wrong?09:59
mgedminok, an ice9 what does systemctl list-units |grep openvpn print?10:01
mgedminomega_doom: the error message says you need more than one .deb file10:01
mgedminomega_doom: where did you find the .deb?10:01
ice9mgedmin, it return nothing10:01
mgedminice9: that's unpossible10:02
mgedminice9: here's what I get on my system: https://termbin.com/scja10:02
mgedminice9: you should get at least see the basic openvpn.service10:03
ice9mgedmin, i did systemctl daemon-reload and i can see openvpn@server.service which starts the server10:03
mgedminpastebin please?10:03
mgedminand probably pastebin systemctl status openvpn@server10:03

mgedminice9: that says it's running!10:07
ice9mgedmin, yes, this happened after systemctl daemon-reload10:07
ice9so now it's working10:07
mgedminomega_doom: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu describes how to use apt-key and add-apt-repository to add the winehq repository to your system10:07
mgedminomega_doom: don't install individual .debs one by one, use the repository10:08
mgedminice9: ah, so daemon-reload was the missing step!  makes sense10:08
omega_doommgedmin: i cannot add a repository.10:10

lusrxduring POST i saw the network lights blink. i pulled out the cable before ubuntu booted up. then i plugged it back in and it continued to light up orange (link light?).12:03
lusrxsure enough i was able to go to google.com and what not. then i rebooted to see if this would hold. no it did not.12:04
lusrxso the solution seems to be (i have yet to verify this) to unplug the cable during POST, let ubuntu fully boot and sign in, then plug it back in.12:04

lusrx#ubuntu-discuss is: "a channel for high quality on-topic non-support discussions about Ubuntu".12:13
lotuspsychjelusrx: yes, where you can discuss about ubuntu feedback how you resolved issues12:14

saadjcan we install hadoop and spark from ubuntu pkgs?12:17
lusrxok. so i say "my network card is not working. what to do?" then someone says "try running this command and see if you can get a grip on the driver in use". so i do that, i have the id, and i can't post it back to helper?12:20
lusrxi understand that a big issue like "x is not working" is not very specific. but if it were specific i would probably know where the problem is and how to fix it... or ask questions that would help me get there.12:23

mamalosHi there, I recently upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04, but I had various packages installed from other repositories, where the "worst" for me a this time is python3.8 (I had installed it using the deadsnakes ppa repo).13:40
mamalosAfter having release-upgraded to 20.04, I have issues wrt python dependencies and basically I'm not able to install-upgrade anything. The repos have been commented out by the release-upgrade script, and uncommenting them doesn't help either.13:41
mamalosso, is there a "nice" way of somehow gracefully resolving this issue?13:42
mamalosI suspect that if I sort-of forcely uninstall current python, install 20.04's python instead and somehow inform apt that any dependencies for python should be updated to the current version, things would be sort-of-resolved.13:43

jefferoonieI didn't upgrade.  It's a fresh install.19:35
jefferoonieI never ran 2.04 on this machine.19:36
tomreynah, ok, still relevant19:36
jefferoonieOkay19:36
tomreynjefferoonie: if you can tell whether this only happens on return from suspend, but not on a full boot, please point it out. also, in case you're dual-booting, please point it out as well.19:37
jefferoonieOk19:37
jefferoonieIt happens on a full reboot.19:38
tomreynthere's no need for you to determine the sound chipset or configuration, ubuntu-bug will do so and report it.19:38

ubottub100s: 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.

petesterI'm having some trouble getting a USB device to connect to my computer.  It used to connect when I had windows installed, but it doesn't appear when I use lsusb19:39
petesterwhere can I look to make sure it's not totally fried or something?19:40
seiburiiis there anyone here who is a Linux Systems Admin? I was wondering if there are a list of competencies or a Job description I could have to see if I can fit the bill19:40

seiburiitomreyn: sorry, thank you19:41
petesteri don't see a change in /dev/usb when I plug/unplug19:42
tomreynpetester: disconnect the usb device. open two terminal windows. in the first one, run   sudo udevadm monitor    and in the second run    journalctl -n0 -f  then re-connect the usb device and copy and paste the outputs of both terminals to https://paste.ubuntu.com19:44

rakanHey all19:45
jefferoonietomreyn, Let me know if this looks cool.  It's my first bug report.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/190258019:46
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1902580 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu 20.10 has No Sound (Dummy Output) unless I reinstall pulseaudio after every reboot." [Undecided,New]19:46
petestertomreyn i waited a few seconds and nothing happened, im going to find another cable and try again19:46
rakanI installed postgresql and then uninstalled it on ubuntu. But i found some left over folders such as /var/lib/postgresql so i deleted that. Right now, installing postgres again won't even create this directory with all of it's contents... Is there a way i can fix this? I tried dpkg-reconfigure postgresql but that did not help19:47
tomreynjefferoonie: looks good to me. you just seem to have something repeated in this sentence "How I re-install pulseaudio (obvious but just in case) Xubuntu 20.10 has No Sound (Dummy Output) unless I reinstall pulseaudio after every reboot."19:47
tomreynpetester: try other ports, too, and even other computers, if you have more.19:47
tomreynrakan: apt list --installed 'postgres.*'19:49
tomreynrakan: you probably only removed the postgresql meta package (which can be used to install, but not fully remove, the postgresql packages)19:49
jefferoonietomreyn, Thank you for the help.  Long time user, first bug that affected me. :)19:49
petestertomreyn i got some output with your commands by using a different USB port.19:49
petesterI'm checking if the device works now19:50
petestertomreyn it looks like it is doing 'bind' more than it needs to:19:51
jefferoonieTake care all... Gotta run.19:51
petesterhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GDS9M89SfK/19:51
tomreynjefferoonie: thanks for your bug report. i'm just a volunteer here, not a developer, but i'll look it over in a bit, maybe i can already provide a suggestion then. it's common to keep support topics outside of bug reports (though sometimes workarounds are provided), so feel free to stay here for a while longer if you can.19:51
tomreynoh, well, later then ;)19:52
petesterhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J76NyHG9jX/19:52

jefferoonieI'm just stepping away.  Feel free to send me a message.19:53
tomreynpetester: so that's detected as a usb serial device, not a usb ("mass") storage device19:53
tomreynok jefferoonie19:54
petesteryeah its an FTDI chip, i suppose it could be a driver problem but I thought pretty much everyone uses FTDI19:54
tomreynpetester: so, does something not work as expected now?19:54
petesterit doesn't seem to be, I'm restarting an application to see if that helps19:55
bumblefuzzI'm having trouble installing a wireless adapter 8812au19:56
petestertomreyn its still not working but I'm questioning whether this is an ubuntu problem or something else19:56
bumblefuzzI get this output in dmesg: version magic '5.4.0-51-generic SMP mod_unload ' should be '5.4.0-52-generic SMP mod_unload '19:56
tomreynpetester: hard to tell, i don't even know what this device is and does, or should be doing. you do have a serial device, which waqs added properly. did you try to communicate with it? did you expect other devices to be added?19:57
bumblefuzzhow do I check which driver a given piece of hardware is using or trying to use?19:58
bumblefuzzI need to uninstall this and start from scratch19:58
tomreynbumblefuzz:    lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999    should give a hint19:59
petesterIts an FPGA development board, I'm trying to program it with Vivado.  Vivado doesn't see the USB device.  I'm trying to run Vivado with privs to see if that helps19:59
petesterand that worked20:00
petesterso how can I configure this device to be accessable without root privleges?20:00
tomreynsudo adduser $USER dialout20:00
tomreynthen logout entirely, restart systemd user session, login20:01
bumblefuzztomreyn, it's a usb device20:01
tomreynbumblefuzz: i'm aware, but you should still see it listed in lspci output if it's a wireless device.20:02
jefferooniepetester, I had to do the same for my Arduinos and ESP8266s20:02
bumblefuzztomreyn, grep: (Network|Ethernet) controller: No such file or directory20:03

jefferoonieI didn't do anything.20:05

jefferoonieJust said I was there in the past with my little devices..  Thanks20:05
tomreyncongrats20:05
bumblefuzztomreyn, that's what I did but I don't see it20:05
bumblefuzzI do see it when I do lsusb20:05
tomreynbumblefuzz: ok, my mistake then, sorry.20:06
tomreynbumblefuzz: so which chipset is it, and what did you try so far to make it work?20:06
tomreynand which ubuntu release are you running?20:07
bumblefuzztomreyn, 20.0420:07
bumblefuzzrealtek RTL8812AU20:07
bumblefuzzand I think I tried an install a few months ago20:07
bumblefuzzbut I don't remember if it was this machine or another20:07
bumblefuzzso I'm trying to find out if I need to clean anything out first20:07
bumblefuzzand the, of course, install the proper driver20:08
bumblefuzzand then*20:08
tomreynhttps://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au looks like it could work20:08
bumblefuzzyeah there's lost of instructions out there20:08
bumblefuzzI've tried a few and they didn't work20:09
bumblefuzzwhat I don't know is how to uninstall the driver once it's clear it doesn't wrok20:09
bumblefuzz...or how to find whether the relevant driver is installed in the first place20:10
tomreynyou can look for existing dirver source code in /usr/src/<module>-<module-version>/20:11
tomreynyou can use dkms to remove drivers it knows about20:11
bumblefuzzyep there it is20:11
bumblefuzzhow do I remove?20:11
tomreynlsmod lists drivers currently loaded, rmmod unloads them20:11
bumblefuzzis unloading permanent?20:12
tomreynno20:12
tomreyngenerally, you'll need to undo what you did to install20:12
tomreynwhen it comes to custom built drivers, you'll be following instructions outside of package management (apt)20:13
bumblefuzzthis was months ago20:13
bumblefuzzI don't remember exactly what I did20:13
tomreynso you need to take good care to track what you did to set things up, so that you'll be able to undo them later20:13
bumblefuzzso, basically, I need to wipe and reinstall20:13
tomreynapt list --installed 'somesearchterm' can help find relevant packages20:14
bumblefuzzbut you just said it's outside apt20:14
tomreyndpkg -S /path/to/somefile     tells you whether the given file is part of a package20:14
tomreynit can be untracked by apt, doesn't have to be20:14
bumblefuzzso I found the files in /usr/src20:14
tomreyndkms places code in /var/lib/dkms/<module>/<module-version>/build/20:15
bumblefuzzwhere do I go from there to find out what's installe and where20:15
tomreynare those files part of a package then?20:15
bumblefuzzI don't know20:15
tomreynthen find out, i just provided you withj commands to do so20:16
bumblefuzzthis is what's in /usr/src20:16
bumblefuzzrtl8812au-4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg20:16

bumblefuzznot sure what to do with that20:18

tomreynrtl8812au is a module name20:26
bumblefuzzit's what's in /var/lib/dkms20:26
tomreynyou need to find out the version to remove a given version20:26
tomreyni think dkms uses its own versioning system, where the first registered variant of a module gets version number 1, the next gets 2, and so on20:27
bumblefuzzhow do I see what's installed?20:27
bumblefuzzyou said lsmod shows what's loaded20:28

Bustinon the latest version of ubuntu 20.10, using 2 external monitors plugged in to my laptop. The "main" display is a 32" 1440P with 165hz refresh, working great, smooth etc. The 24" is a 1080P at 75hz, which is "to the left" of the 32". I'm noticing a great deal of lag on the 24", also using an Nvidia RTX 2070 max-q.20:30
bumblefuzzso how do I use that to specify the version in the dkms remove command20:30
tomreynbumblefuzz: i don't remember, try 4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg or just 1 for the version20:31

bumblefuzzdo I have to do anything else?20:33
tomreyni couldn't know, since we have no records of what you did initially20:34
bumblefuzzbut removing it from dkms does what20:34
bumblefuzz?20:34
bumblefuzzdo I have to remove it from the kernel?20:34
bumblefuzzunload a module?20:34
petesterso I can't get this application to connect to the USB hardware without invoking sudo20:35
tomreynthe dkms man page would tell20:35

i-nodeHello, I am trying to configure ubuntu open-iscsi daemon to automatically mount a LUN. The problem is that I need to execute the iscsiadm login command, otherwise I cannot start open-iscsi service.20:36
bumblefuzzunderstand what needs to be done kernel/module-wise is another20:36
tomreynjefferoonie: this is probably unrelated to the audio issue, but look at  "[    3.869456]" of https://launchpadlibrarian.net/504940379/CurrentDmesg.txt (your system's kernel log), it shows what looks like a problem with the amdgpu open source graphics driver for the internal gpu.20:36
tomreynbumblefuzz: i'm afraid i need to leave it there for now. will be back later, but someone else may be able to help in the meantime.20:37
i-nodeI only can start the open-iscsi service after executing "iscsiadm -m node --targetname iqn.2005-10.org.freenas.ctl:multimedia --portal 10.0.40.2 --login20:38
tomreynjefferoonie: disabling secure boot in your bios may help work around this.20:38

Scriptonauthey all, I need the contents of a file in an environment variable in my cron job. I tried using command substition, MY_VAR=$(cat /path/to/file) /usr/local/bin/my_command, however it's not interpolating the command substitution20:56
Scriptonauthow would I do that?20:56
Scriptonautthis is ubuntu 18.04 by the way20:57
TJ-Scriptonaut: cron jobs aren't shell scripts21:11
TJ-Scriptonaut: see "man 5 crontab"21:12
ScriptonautTJ-: I know, but I'm asking for a solution that will let me set the contents of a file to an env var.21:14
ScriptonautI guess I could create a script that exports and sets the env var, and then source it in my cron command21:14
TJ-Scriptonaut: I'd use a systemd timer21:15
TJ-Scriptonaut: timer triggers a unit; unit can execute a shell script and/or set env vars21:16
Scriptonautah ok21:16
clarkkI'd like to block an IP that I've seen a lot of traffic come from using iftop.  I've tried adding a rule to ufw to block it, but the traffic continues. What am I doing wrong? Please see this pastebin   https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/n3JFtgXPCS/21:19
TJ-clarkk: it is REPLIES to requests from 192.168.1.75 so is RELATED,ESTABLISHED. check which process on 1.75 is talking to that destination with "sudo ss -tnp sport = 35156" and check the process column21:28
TJ-clarkk: port 443 is HTTPS so my bet is you've got some browser tab open that is doing it, or some other application talking to that destination21:29
drinner2hello21:33
petesterhey TJ- I like your boot process guide21:39
petesteris there such a thing as a bare metal assembly 'hello world' or is all the UEFI/ACPI stuff too complicated for that?21:40
tomreynjefferoonie: running it after it broke might be better. even better if you can make those situations comparable, such as by filing another bug after it broke. this second bug can then become a duplicate report of the previous bug report, so that all the logs are kept for further anylsis.21:44
pavlospetester: https://riptutorial.com/assembly/example/10682/hello-world-for-linux-x86-64--intel-64-bit-21:47
petesterpavlos that is pretty cool but i dont think that will boot?21:50

PeGaSuShello guys. so, I've installed Ubuntu server in a old laptop of mine. today, after updating the system and rebooting it, I've found that the lan IP has changed from 192.168.1.31 to 192.168.1.30. is this normal? if so, is there a way to make it "sticky"?22:10
pavlosPeGaSuS: make it static22:20
PeGaSuSpavlos: what do you mean by static? and how? :p22:22
pavlosPeGaSuS: static ip v. dhcp ... look at netplan22:22
clarkkTJ-, thanks for the ss command - that's useful.  I suspected it was a web page, but I have a lot open. Can you think of any way to determine which one?  I've tried dig-ging the ip22:34

wonko644 would never work23:08
kk4ewtwhy wouldnt it23:09
kk4ewtmake a new user and login and see what its permissions are23:10
wonkoyou need execute to be able to enter a directory23:11
wonkoso a directory that is 644 you could look in but not cd to23:11
