[03:38] hi, 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? [03:40] (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) === Mrokii_ is now known as Mrokii [03:50] this 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 instant [03:51] (i wasn't using thunar much, but i was using meld frequently over forwarded x) [04:08] good morning to all === denningsrogue7 is now known as denningsrogue [04:18] morning all-just wondering when im tinkering with my linux os is a logout as good as a restart and what is the best way to logout and restart from terminal (save current work-allow processes to finish their course [04:20] gnome-session-save --force-logout [04:23] gnome-session-quit [04:23] gnome-session-save --force-logout [04:24] anything bad about the last string i posted (--force-logout) ? === bocaneri is now known as Sauvin [05:48] hi [05:51] welcome bewees [05:52] how 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? [05:53] lotuspsychje: thanks [06:25] hi [06:25] did someone reply yet? I got network issues therefore I got disconnected [06:32] not 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/ files [06:40] installed it now with grub-install, but grub-update seems to find only my old rootfs [07:17] <_lucifer> Hi!

[09:49] ice9: what command do you use to start the service? [09:50] mgedmin, systemctl start openvpn [09:50] that's the openvn client unit, for the server you want systemctl start openvpn@server [09:52] ah, 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 them [09:52] according to /usr/share/doc/openvpn/README.Debian.gz [09:53] do the logs say anything interesting? [09:55] mgedmin, basically the log file isn't created because it didn't read the conf [09:55] what about journalctl? [09:56] mgedmin, nothing in the journal [09:57] mgedmin, it just say in the journal "Starting OpenVPN service..", nothing else [09:59] mgedmin: I can only install from .deb file. Do you know what i am doing wrong? [10:01] ok, an ice9 what does systemctl list-units |grep openvpn print? [10:01] omega_doom: the error message says you need more than one .deb file [10:01] omega_doom: where did you find the .deb? [10:01] mgedmin, it return nothing [10:02] ice9: that's unpossible [10:02] ice9: here's what I get on my system: https://termbin.com/scja [10:03] ice9: you should get at least see the basic openvpn.service [10:03] mgedmin, i did systemctl daemon-reload and i can see openvpn@server.service which starts the server [10:03] pastebin please?

[10:07] mgedmin, yes, this happened after systemctl daemon-reload [10:07] so now it's working [10:07] omega_doom: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu describes how to use apt-key and add-apt-repository to add the winehq repository to your system [10:08] omega_doom: don't install individual .debs one by one, use the repository [10:08] ice9: ah, so daemon-reload was the missing step! makes sense [10:10] mgedmin: i cannot add a repository.

[11:33] i do and i can. but why? [11:34] my ubuntu desktop can only connect with network cable [11:34] yes i could connect a usb cable to it [11:34] and to my smartphone [11:34] but wouldn't that require additional drivers to be installed before it works? [11:35] i can carry over any needed files from the windows desktop using usb flash drive. that's not a problem. [11:35] lusrx: please easy on the enter button, ask 1 question then await volunteers to help you [11:35] lusrx: USB tether over smart phone works on Ubuntu without added drivers [11:37] ok. and then what? [11:38] update ubuntu or something? not sure what to do once i have internet connection. using my phone all the time to network is not an option. [11:39] i will try connecting that way now and then update ubuntu and see what happens. [11:39] brb [11:47] "access data?" yes, allow. "experienced internal error" ok. i enabled usb tethering.

[11:55] it was a wild shot anyway. [11:57] i am about done for this day. thanks everyone for pitching in and helping. [12:02] hey i just had a working connection. i had powered off for the day. then i decided to start it up once to have a look at what kernel i have. [12:03] during 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?). [12:04] sure 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] so 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. [12:05] lusrx: dont use this channel to describe every step you are doing please [12:07] lotuspsychje: i thought it might help others understand my problem. but ok.

[12:14] lusrx: yes, where you can discuss about ubuntu feedback how you resolved issues [12:14] so then... troubleshooting difficult problems is not a good fit for #ubuntu? it's more for "where is sleep button" type of questions? [12:15] just so i know what i can and cannot ask or discuss here [12:16] lusrx: you can ask support channels in #ubuntu yes and let volunteers help, but discussions dont fit here [12:16] lusrx: #ubuntu is for *buntu support questions, all other stuff goes into -discuss or -offtopic [12:17] can we install hadoop and spark from ubuntu pkgs? [12:20] ok. 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? [12:23] i 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.

[13:41] After 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. [13:42] so, is there a "nice" way of somehow gracefully resolving this issue? [13:43] I 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. [13:44] (without uninstalling dependent packages, that is) [13:44] any help is more then appreciated. === hugh_marera_ is now known as hugh_marera [13:55] mamalos: that would not be very straightforward. python has been quite a central part of ubuntu for a while so you've likely broken a lot by installing 3.8 independantly.

I was wondering if there are a list of competencies or a Job description I could have to see if I can fit the bill [19:40] !ot | seiburii [19:40] seiburii: #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! [19:41] tomreyn: sorry, thank you [19:42] i don't see a change in /dev/usb when I plug/unplug [19:44] petester: 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.com [19:44] k [19:44] seiburii: no problem ;) [19:45] Hey all [19:46] tomreyn, Let me know if this looks cool. It's my first bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1902580 [19:46] Launchpad bug 1902580 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu 20.10 has No Sound (Dummy Output) unless I reinstall pulseaudio after every reboot." [Undecided,New] [19:46] tomreyn i waited a few seconds and nothing happened, im going to find another cable and try again [19:47] I 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 help [19:47] jefferoonie: 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] petester: try other ports, too, and even other computers, if you have more. [19:49] rakan: apt list --installed 'postgres.*' [19:49] rakan: you probably only removed the postgresql meta package (which can be used to install, but not fully remove, the postgresql packages) [19:49] tomreyn, Thank you for the help. Long time user, first bug that affected me. :) [19:49] tomreyn i got some output with your commands by using a different USB port. [19:50] I'm checking if the device works now [19:51] tomreyn it looks like it is doing 'bind' more than it needs to: [19:51] Take care all... Gotta run. [19:51] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GDS9M89SfK/ [19:51] jefferoonie: 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. [19:52] oh, well, later then ;) [19:52] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J76NyHG9jX/ [19:53] i'm seeing 'unhandled action bind' in the journalctl command [19:53] I'm just stepping away. Feel free to send me a message. [19:53] petester: so that's detected as a usb serial device, not a usb ("mass") storage device [19:54] ok jefferoonie [19:54] yeah its an FTDI chip, i suppose it could be a driver problem but I thought pretty much everyone uses FTDI [19:54] petester: so, does something not work as expected now? [19:55] it doesn't seem to be, I'm restarting an application to see if that helps [19:56] I'm having trouble installing a wireless adapter 8812au [19:56] tomreyn its still not working but I'm questioning whether this is an ubuntu problem or something else [19:56] I 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 ' [19:57] petester: 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? [19:58] how do I check which driver a given piece of hardware is using or trying to use? [19:58] I need to uninstall this and start from scratch [19:59] bumblefuzz: lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 should give a hint [19:59] Its 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 helps [20:00] and that worked [20:00] so how can I configure this device to be accessable without root privleges? [20:00] sudo adduser $USER dialout [20:01] then logout entirely, restart systemd user session, login [20:01] tomreyn, it's a usb device [20:02] bumblefuzz: i'm aware, but you should still see it listed in lspci output if it's a wireless device. [20:02] petester, I had to do the same for my Arduinos and ESP8266s [20:03] tomreyn, grep: (Network|Ethernet) controller: No such file or directory [20:03] had a little bit of wife aggro. ah the joys of working from home [20:03] bumblefuzz: you missed the ticks [20:03] i added myself to dialout, about to test [20:03] not in the input I didn't [20:04] I pasted the output [20:04] i'm up and running, thanks for the help tomreyn and jefferoonie! [20:05] bumblefuzz: well you can just run lspci -knn | less and look through the output yourself (you're probably not able to post this anyways) [20:05] I didn't do anything. [20:05] lol [20:05] yeah but you affirmed that was the likely problem :) [20:05] Just said I was there in the past with my little devices.. Thanks [20:05] congrats [20:05] tomreyn, that's what I did but I don't see it [20:05] I do see it when I do lsusb [20:06] bumblefuzz: ok, my mistake then, sorry. [20:06] bumblefuzz: so which chipset is it, and what did you try so far to make it work? [20:07] and which ubuntu release are you running? [20:07] tomreyn, 20.04 [20:07] realtek RTL8812AU [20:07] and I think I tried an install a few months ago [20:07] but I don't remember if it was this machine or another [20:07] so I'm trying to find out if I need to clean anything out first [20:08] and the, of course, install the proper driver [20:08] and then* [20:08] https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au looks like it could work [20:08] yeah there's lost of instructions out there [20:09] I've tried a few and they didn't work [20:09] what I don't know is how to uninstall the driver once it's clear it doesn't wrok [20:10] ...or how to find whether the relevant driver is installed in the first place [20:11] you can look for existing dirver source code in /usr/src/-/ [20:11] you can use dkms to remove drivers it knows about [20:11] yep there it is [20:11] how do I remove? [20:11] lsmod lists drivers currently loaded, rmmod unloads them [20:12] is unloading permanent? [20:12] no [20:12] generally, you'll need to undo what you did to install [20:13] when it comes to custom built drivers, you'll be following instructions outside of package management (apt) [20:13] this was months ago [20:13] I don't remember exactly what I did [20:13] so you need to take good care to track what you did to set things up, so that you'll be able to undo them later [20:13] so, basically, I need to wipe and reinstall [20:14] apt list --installed 'somesearchterm' can help find relevant packages [20:14] but you just said it's outside apt [20:14] dpkg -S /path/to/somefile tells you whether the given file is part of a package [20:14] it can be untracked by apt, doesn't have to be [20:14] so I found the files in /usr/src [20:15] dkms places code in /var/lib/dkms///build/ [20:15] where do I go from there to find out what's installe and where [20:15] are those files part of a package then? [20:15] I don't know [20:16] then find out, i just provided you withj commands to do so [20:16] this is what's in /usr/src [20:16] rtl8812au-4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg [20:17] ok, I see rtl8812au in /var/lib/dkms [20:18] not sure what to do with that [20:19] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/dkms.8.html is the dkms !man page [20:19] so just 'dkms remove rtl8812au'? [20:20] yes, with sudo [20:21] !files | also relevant, bumblefuzz [20:21] also relevant, bumblefuzz: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [20:22] Error! Invalid number of parameters passed. [20:22] Usage: remove / --all [20:22] or: remove / -k [20:22] especially the paths on the bottom. it doesn't say this, but /usr/src is where kernel and kernel moduels source code is usually stored. [20:22] I know how files work [20:23] unless you're saying something more subtle [20:23] see the SYNOPSIS section of the "dkms" man page, it explains which arguments to pass to the command, in which form. [20:24] by the "files" hint i meant to point you to the list of directories under / which are explained on that page [20:24] (also to the "hier" man page) [20:25] i think you want dkms remove [module/module-version] [20:26] sudo dkms remove rtl8812au --all [20:26] returns [20:26] Error! Invalid number of parameters passed. [20:26] Usage: remove / --all [20:26] or: remove
