[02:44] <jefferoonie> Hello
[02:46] <jefferoonie> Has anyone seen where the only audio output device is "Dummy Output" unless they re-install pulseaudio?  This works until the next reboot.
[03:08] <johnfg> hi folks!
[03:08] <johnfg> I'm unable to install hplip-3.20.9.
[03:08] <johnfg> I've searched for solutions, but can't find any.  Anyone have any experience with this?
[03:12] <Bashing-om> !info hplip focal | johnfg
[03:12] <johnfg> If anyone's interested, I can paste the errors.  There seems to be dependencies that are unresolvable by the installer.
[03:12] <Bashing-om> johnfg: ^^ Why not the repo version ?
[03:14] <johnfg> Bashing-om: I must have missed that before when I did an apt search.  I'm installing it now.  Thanks very much!
[03:14] <Bashing-om> johnfg: Great :D
[03:16] <johnfg> Well, maybe not so great :-(  It installed with no errors, as did the hplip-gui, but when I select HPLIP toolbox, I get nothing.
[03:21] <jefferoonie> Has anyone seen where the only audio output device is "Dummy Output" unless they re-install pulseaudio?  This works until the next reboot.
[03:21] <Bashing-om> johnfg: No idea to that as I no have an HP - while waiting on one who does know - ya might verify that the depends for hplib are met; ' apt show hplib '.
[03:38] <avih> 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] <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)
[03:50] <avih> 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] <avih> (i wasn't using thunar much, but i was using meld frequently over forwarded x)
[04:08] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[04:18] <devilnull> 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] <devilnull> gnome-session-save --force-logout
[04:23] <devilnull> gnome-session-quit
[04:23] <devilnull> gnome-session-save  --force-logout
[04:24] <devilnull> anything bad about the last string i posted (--force-logout) ?
[05:48] <bewees> hi
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> welcome bewees
[05:52] <bewees> 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] <bewees> lotuspsychje: thanks
[06:25] <bewees> hi
[06:25] <bewees> did someone reply yet? I got network issues therefore I got disconnected
[06:32] <bewees> 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] <bewees> installed it now with grub-install, but grub-update seems to find only my old rootfs
[07:17] <_lucifer> Hi! I just downloaded Ubuntu 20.10 and am having issues with Google Chrome. It works fine but when I try to sign in to Google and enable sync, it hangs up and I have to forcefully close it. Any suggestions on how to fix this ?
[07:17] <_lucifer> The machine has a Ryzen processor and a nvidia gpu in case its relevant.
[07:19] <lotuspsychje> _lucifer: on google chrome we cannot provide support, you can try the ubuntu alternate chromium-browser if you like
[07:19] <_lucifer> lotuspsychje: sure, i can try that. how can i download that ?
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> _lucifer: sudo snap install chromium
[07:20] <_lucifer> thanks, i'll try and see if that works.
[07:47] <_lucifer> lotuspsychje: chroumium works. so an issue on google's side probably. thanks again!
[07:48] <lotuspsychje> welcome _lucifer
[08:11] <belak> Is there a way with the ubuntu raspberry pi server image to enable the SSH server by default?
[08:17] <ducasse> belak: try #ubuntu-server, but i can't think of one if it isn't already
[08:32] <belak> Thanks, I'll check there!
[09:37] <kenwoodfox> Hey #ubuntu, is this an ok place to ask about flatpak issues?
[09:37] <mgedmin> yesterday I upgraded a few packages (plymouth, mutter) from the groovy-proposed pocket, and was kicked out of the GUI session during the upgrade; is this expected?
[09:40] <omega_doom> I am trying to install winehq via deb file and have error message "winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 5.0.2~focal) but ubuntu 3.0.1ubuntu1 is to be installed."
[09:43] <mgedmin> omega_doom: don't install packages from .deb files, but if you really have to, install all the right .deb files together
[09:47] <ice9> when I start the OpenVPN's systemd service, it doesn't pickup the conf file /etc/openvpn/server.conf any idea?
[09:49] <mgedmin> ice9: what command do you use to start the service?
[09:50] <ice9> mgedmin, systemctl start openvpn
[09:50] <mgedmin> that's the openvn client unit, for the server you want systemctl start openvpn@server
[09:52] <mgedmin> 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] <mgedmin> according to /usr/share/doc/openvpn/README.Debian.gz
[09:53] <mgedmin> do the logs say anything interesting?
[09:55] <ice9> mgedmin, basically the log file isn't created because it didn't read the conf
[09:55] <mgedmin> what about journalctl?
[09:56] <ice9> mgedmin, nothing in the journal
[09:57] <ice9> mgedmin, it just say in the journal "Starting OpenVPN service..", nothing else
[09:59] <omega_doom> mgedmin: I can only install from .deb file. Do you know what i am doing wrong?
[10:01] <mgedmin> ok, an ice9 what does systemctl list-units |grep openvpn print?
[10:01] <mgedmin> omega_doom: the error message says you need more than one .deb file
[10:01] <mgedmin> omega_doom: where did you find the .deb?
[10:01] <ice9> mgedmin, it return nothing
[10:02] <mgedmin> ice9: that's unpossible
[10:02] <mgedmin> ice9: here's what I get on my system: https://termbin.com/scja
[10:03] <mgedmin> ice9: you should get at least see the basic openvpn.service
[10:03] <ice9> mgedmin, i did systemctl daemon-reload and i can see openvpn@server.service which starts the server
[10:03] <mgedmin> pastebin please?
[10:03] <mgedmin> and probably pastebin systemctl status openvpn@server
[10:04] <mgedmin> oh, maybe it should've been systemctl list-units --all | grep openvpn
[10:06] <ice9> mgedmin, https://bpa.st/WETA
[10:06] <ice9> thanks
[10:06] <omega_doom> mgedmin: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-amd64/
[10:07] <omega_doom> mgedmin: i have wine 5.0.3 but there is only winhq 5.0.2
[10:07] <mgedmin> ice9: that says it's running!
[10:07] <ice9> mgedmin, yes, this happened after systemctl daemon-reload
[10:07] <ice9> so now it's working
[10:07] <mgedmin> 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] <mgedmin> omega_doom: don't install individual .debs one by one, use the repository
[10:08] <mgedmin> ice9: ah, so daemon-reload was the missing step!  makes sense
[10:10] <omega_doom> mgedmin: i cannot add a repository.
[10:11] <mgedmin> can't or won't?
[10:13] <omega_doom> mgedmin: i cannot. It is a system with restrictions which i don't know how to bypass.
[10:16] <lusrx> new pc build. installed ubuntu. no network... "cable unplugged". but it's plugged in...
[10:16] <lusrx> ubuntu 20.04
[10:17] <lusrx> Intel I225-V
[10:17] <lusrx> is this supported?
[10:18] <mgedmin> omega_doom: if you don't have root then you can't install a single .deb either
[10:18] <omega_doom> mgedmin: i have sudo.
[10:19] <lusrx> "cool. I just ordered an usb-ethernet adapter. Should get me by." https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2445791
[10:19] <lusrx> i need to do the same?
[10:19] <omega_doom> mgedmin: Ping doesn't work there but i can download from a browser.
[10:20] <mgedmin> proxy required for all downloads?  I'm sure you can configure apt to use a proxy
[10:23] <omega_doom> mgedmin: "Could not resolve 'dl.winehq.org'.
[10:24] <omega_doom> mgedmin: It is a corporate ubuntu. I don't know what they did that ping doesn't work but browser works.
[10:26] <mgedmin> proxy
[10:27] <omega_doom> mgedmin: How can i ping with it?
[10:30] <omega_doom> mgedmin: Any ideas to solve it?
[10:41] <omega_doom> mgedmin: I nave found proxy settings. I will try to add them to apt.
[10:46] <lusrx> how do i connect to the internet on ubuntu 20.04?
[10:59] <omega_doom> mgedmin: I set proxy for apt and installed winhq. Thank you a lot!
[11:03] <ufk_> is it risky to add the mariadb repository and update mariadb from 10.3 to 10.5 ? it may break the database or anything like that ?
[11:03] <ledeni> lusrx: first decide witch device you will use to connect ( wired,wifi,... etc)
[11:16] <lusrx> ledeni: cable is connected already
[11:16] <lusrx> so yes, wired
[11:16] <lusrx> that doesn't mean it will work. my network card is not supported yet
[11:17] <lusrx> something to do with nvm... i don't know
[11:17] <lusrx> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2445791
[11:25] <tatertots> lusrx: are you chatting from the computer right now connected via some other method?
[11:27] <lusrx> yeah im on a win 10 desktop
[11:28] <lusrx> im also in ##linux and talking to people to get help
[11:28] <lusrx> they have me run commands but we're going in circles
[11:28] <lusrx> lspci -nnK
[11:29] <lusrx> dmesg
[11:29] <lusrx> and friends...
[11:29] <lusrx> i learned i have a "kernel driver" called "igc"
[11:30] <lusrx> and that network card id is 8086:15f3
[11:31] <lusrx> it's like i now know everything... but still can't connect. lol
[11:32] <tatertots> lusrx: you don't have a smartphone you can temporarily USB or Wifi tether?
[11:33] <lusrx> i do and i can. but why?
[11:34] <lusrx> my ubuntu desktop can only connect with network cable
[11:34] <lusrx> yes i could connect a usb cable to it
[11:34] <lusrx> and to my smartphone
[11:34] <lusrx> but wouldn't that require additional drivers to be installed before it works?
[11:35] <lusrx> i can carry over any needed files from the windows desktop using usb flash drive. that's not a problem.
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> lusrx: please easy on the enter button, ask 1 question then await volunteers to help you
[11:35] <jeremy31> lusrx: USB tether over smart phone works on Ubuntu without added drivers
[11:37] <lusrx> ok. and then what?
[11:38] <lusrx> 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] <lusrx> i will try connecting that way now and then update ubuntu and see what happens.
[11:39] <lusrx> brb
[11:47] <lusrx> "access data?" yes, allow. "experienced internal error" ok. i enabled usb tethering. "ethernet connected" ok.
[11:47] <lusrx> im downloading 577m worth of updates now
[11:50] <tatertots> lusrx: actually you should have....nevermind
[11:50] <tatertots> lusrx: finish your updates
[11:54] <lusrx> ok. finished. rebooted. no play.
[11:55] <lusrx> it was a wild shot anyway.
[11:57] <lusrx> i am about done for this day. thanks everyone for pitching in and helping.
[12:02] <lusrx> 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] <lusrx> 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] <lusrx> 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] <lusrx> 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] <lotuspsychje> lusrx: dont use this channel to describe every step you are doing please
[12:07] <lusrx> lotuspsychje: i thought it might help others understand my problem. but ok.
[12:07] <lotuspsychje> lusrx: sure thing, in #ubuntu-discuss please
[12:08] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:09] <Maik> lusrx: others that join at a later point won't see it anyway. Document it on a blog, launchapd or the forums.
[12:09] <Maik> *launchpad
[12:09] <Peyam> hi. I am on VM with componies computer. I can not join IRC from HexChat. I t can not connect to freenode. I think it has something with procxies to do
[12:10] <lusrx> ok so lengthy explanations of a problem go to #ubuntu-discuss? if understand correctly
[12:12] <Maik> Peyam: try asking on #hexchat since it doesn't sound like a Ubuntu support related issue
[12:13] <lusrx> #ubuntu-discuss is: "a channel for high quality on-topic non-support discussions about Ubuntu".
[12:14] <lotuspsychje> lusrx: yes, where you can discuss about ubuntu feedback how you resolved issues
[12:14] <lusrx> 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] <lusrx> just so i know what i can and cannot ask or discuss here
[12:16] <lotuspsychje> lusrx: you can ask support channels in #ubuntu yes and let volunteers help, but discussions dont fit here
[12:16] <Maik> lusrx: #ubuntu is for *buntu support questions, all other stuff goes into -discuss or -offtopic
[12:17] <saadj> can we install hadoop and spark from ubuntu pkgs?
[12:20] <lusrx> 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] <lusrx> 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.
[12:23] <lotuspsychje> lusrx: stop it please, dont use this channel to debate
[12:24] <lusrx> i see. ok.
[12:32] <DarkTrick> **Q:** I have a chroot environment with a couple of binaries, which have dependencies - solved within the chroot. Can I run the binaries files outside the chroot environment in a way the dependencies are solved within the chroot-env structure?

[13:40] <mamalos> Hi 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).
[13:41] <mamalos> 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] <mamalos> so, is there a "nice" way of somehow gracefully resolving this issue?
[13:43] <mamalos> 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] <mamalos> (without uninstalling dependent packages, that is)
[13:44] <mamalos> any help is more then appreciated.
[13:55] <ThinkT510> 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.
[13:56] <ThinkT510> !info python focal
[13:57] <ThinkT510> !info python3 focal
[14:38] <g3poandlsl> is it possible to apt-mirror the Ubuntu repos only for a particular point release?
[14:39] <g3poandlsl> I'd like to sync my local repo with the Ubuntu repos as they were for 18.04.6
[14:40] <g3poandlsl> 18.04.5*
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> i see bug #1865300 fixed for focal, but i still have the symptons of hotplugsniffer on 20.04.1 anyone knows more of this?
[15:48] <geosmile> how do i make a particular nvme with a particular serial number to map to a /dev/nvme6n1 ?
[15:48] <tailgate> Hi, I’m setting up dnsmasq on ubuntu 18.04. It is on an AWS ec2 instance. I started by disabling systemd-resolved, and installing dnsmasq. However, I am having trouble getting DNS caching to work properly.
[15:48] <tailgate> In dnsmasq.conf, I have: https://pastebin.com/1iU4Pmks
[15:48] <tailgate> My resolv.conf:https://pastebin.com/raw/fR26DhBX
[15:48] <tailgate> I’m using dig to check if it is working properly. When I try to resolve with 8.8.8.8 at the top of resolv.conf, it works. But if I start with  127.0.0.1, dig does not work
[15:48] <tailgate> What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
[16:18] <EriC^^> geosmile: why do you want to do that? usually if you want a filesystem you can use its uuid to always find it
[18:30] <pavlos> tailgate: what's the server's static ip? you need to include it in the listen-address=

[18:56] <lotuspsychje> xandey: ask your details here mate, like chipset/ubuntu release/kernel
[18:56] <xandey> Hi, I'm experiencing a bug with my ethernet (intel i225-v 2.5G) driver not working on an ASUS motherboard. It appears fixed in the mainline kernel and I saw talk of it being fixed in 5.8. I did find some questions on answers and ubuntu forum but I didn't find any bug reports. Is it helpful to do a bug report? I personally don't mind waiting for the next HWE kernel.
[18:56] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: maybe^
[18:58] <lotuspsychje> xandey: wich ubuntu release did it not work by default?
[18:58] <xandey> the ethernet is built into my motherboard: rog strix b550-f gaming wifi, I found others who appear to have the same issue with Gigabyte B550 and the same intel i225-v chip
[18:58] <xandey> I actually haven't tried grovy. I only tried focal with mainline kernel
[18:59] <xandey> (yet? i haven't tried groovy yet)
[19:00] <xandey> the network comes up on a cold boot but not a reboot
[19:00] <lotuspsychje> xandey: wich mainline kernel versions did you try on 20.04?
[19:01] <xandey> v5.9.3-050903
[19:03] <xandey> and it fails with 5.4.0-52-generic
[19:04] <lotuspsychje> xandey: and works with 5.9?
[19:05] <xandey> yeah, i installed v5.9.3-050903 using https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh
[19:07] <lotuspsychje> xandey: ok tnx, i would boot into 5.4 again and file the bug; ubuntu-bug linux from terminal
[19:08] <xandey> it's a bit tricky to test using the live-usb as my BIOS boots one time from the usb media then won't boot again until II re-image the usb drive
[19:08] <xandey> Do you know how to install the groovy kernel directly to try that?
[19:08] <tailgate> pavlos: thanks, that was it
[19:08] <xandey> ok thanks, i'll do that
[19:09] <lotuspsychje> xandey: from the base bug, you can start experimenting
[19:09] <xandey> right, i'll try it after i do the ubuntu-bug
[19:10] <lotuspsychje> tnx xandey
[19:13] <xandey> you'll probably want me to upgrade to the bios that came out three days ago too
[19:16] <lotuspsychje> xandey: lets try the bug on the default 5.4 kernel first
[19:16] <xandey> no problem
[19:18] <coconut> xandey, i had my wifi to get fixed on non-cold reboots with a recent uefi firmware upgrade too recently.(thinkpad x1 extreme).
[19:18] <jefferoonie> Hello
[19:19] <jefferoonie> Has anyone seen where the only audio output device is "Dummy Output" unless they re-install pulseaudio?  This works until the next reboot.
[19:25] <xandey> thanks coconut, i can try and post the results in the bug report. #1902578
[19:26] <tomreyn> jefferoonie: i've seen similar reports for ubuntu 20.10 on irc during the past days. but i'm not aware of a bug report, so unless you or someone files one, it's not likely to be fixed.
[19:26] <tomreyn> do you run 20.10?
[19:26] <jefferoonie> Yes
[19:26] <tomreyn> ubuntu, or another flavour?
[19:26] <jefferoonie> tomreyn, Yes, that is correct.
[19:26] <jefferoonie> xubuntu
[19:27] <tomreyn> did you file a bug?
[19:27] <b100s> hi2all; I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1 which has libc6 2.31-0ubuntu9.1. How can I install the latest one: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.32-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb ?
[19:27] <lotuspsychje> xandey: thank you to report bug #1902578
[19:27] <tomreyn> !bug | jefferoonie
[19:27] <tomreyn> jefferoonie: the package to file against is likely pulseaudio
[19:27] <jefferoonie> No, I thought maybe it was a known thing, and I was just not find a good fix.
[19:28] <jefferoonie> That makes sense
[19:28] <lotuspsychje> jefferoonie tomreyn we have seen several bugs passby in -announce for that, upgrades to 20.10 might be worth checking recent bugs
[19:28] <afancy> Hello, could anybody help me here? https://dpaste.com/5XLKWZGQ5
[19:29] <jefferoonie> because alsamixer can see the card.  Just missing in pulseaudio until I reinstall... Thank you tomreyn and lotuspsychje.
[19:29] <tomreyn> thanks lotuspsychje, i was just going to look for existing reports. but jefferoonie can already go ahead and file a bug report, which can then be added to an existing one, if it's the same issue.

[19:30] <jefferoonie> ubuntu-bug pulseaudio
[19:30] <lotuspsychje> agree
[19:32] <jefferoonie> Thank you.  I'll create a launchpad account, and do that.
[19:34] <tomreyn> jefferoonie: thanks. i don't see any generic report about sound no longer working after a 20.04 -> 20.10 upgrade. there are, however, bug 1901922 and bug 1899751 which *could* be related. a separate report, also stating that it used to work out of the box on 20.04, would help.
[19:35] <jefferoonie> Alright.  Thanks
[19:35] <jefferoonie> I didn't upgrade.  It's a fresh install.
[19:36] <jefferoonie> I never ran 2.04 on this machine.
[19:36] <tomreyn> ah, ok, still relevant
[19:36] <jefferoonie> Okay
[19:37] <tomreyn> jefferoonie: 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] <jefferoonie> Ok
[19:38] <jefferoonie> It happens on a full reboot.
[19:38] <tomreyn> there's no need for you to determine the sound chipset or configuration, ubuntu-bug will do so and report it.
[19:38] <tomreyn> i mean: point it out on the bug report ;)

[19:39] <tomreyn> b100s: and you don't usually mix different libc's
[19:39] <petester> I'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 lsusb
[19:40] <petester> where can I look to make sure it's not totally fried or something?
[19:40] <seiburii> is 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 bill
[19:40] <tomreyn> !ot | seiburii
[19:41] <seiburii> tomreyn: sorry, thank you
[19:42] <petester> i don't see a change in /dev/usb when I plug/unplug
[19:44] <tomreyn> 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] <petester> k
[19:44] <tomreyn> seiburii: no problem ;)
[19:45] <rakan> Hey all
[19:46] <jefferoonie> 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] <petester> tomreyn i waited a few seconds and nothing happened, im going to find another cable and try again
[19:47] <rakan> 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] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> petester: try other ports, too, and even other computers, if you have more.
[19:49] <tomreyn> rakan: apt list --installed 'postgres.*'
[19:49] <tomreyn> rakan: you probably only removed the postgresql meta package (which can be used to install, but not fully remove, the postgresql packages)
[19:49] <jefferoonie> tomreyn, Thank you for the help.  Long time user, first bug that affected me. :)
[19:49] <petester> tomreyn i got some output with your commands by using a different USB port.
[19:50] <petester> I'm checking if the device works now
[19:51] <petester> tomreyn it looks like it is doing 'bind' more than it needs to:
[19:51] <jefferoonie> Take care all... Gotta run.
[19:51] <petester> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GDS9M89SfK/
[19:51] <tomreyn> 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] <tomreyn> oh, well, later then ;)
[19:52] <petester> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/J76NyHG9jX/
[19:53] <petester> i'm seeing 'unhandled action bind' in the journalctl command
[19:53] <jefferoonie> I'm just stepping away.  Feel free to send me a message.
[19:53] <tomreyn> petester: so that's detected as a usb serial device, not a usb ("mass") storage device
[19:54] <tomreyn> ok jefferoonie
[19:54] <petester> yeah its an FTDI chip, i suppose it could be a driver problem but I thought pretty much everyone uses FTDI
[19:54] <tomreyn> petester: so, does something not work as expected now?
[19:55] <petester> it doesn't seem to be, I'm restarting an application to see if that helps
[19:56] <bumblefuzz> I'm having trouble installing a wireless adapter 8812au
[19:56] <petester> tomreyn its still not working but I'm questioning whether this is an ubuntu problem or something else
[19:56] <bumblefuzz> 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] <tomreyn> 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] <bumblefuzz> how do I check which driver a given piece of hardware is using or trying to use?
[19:58] <bumblefuzz> I need to uninstall this and start from scratch
[19:59] <tomreyn> bumblefuzz:    lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999    should give a hint
[19:59] <petester> 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] <petester> and that worked
[20:00] <petester> so how can I configure this device to be accessable without root privleges?
[20:00] <tomreyn> sudo adduser $USER dialout
[20:01] <tomreyn> then logout entirely, restart systemd user session, login
[20:01] <bumblefuzz> tomreyn, it's a usb device
[20:02] <tomreyn> bumblefuzz: i'm aware, but you should still see it listed in lspci output if it's a wireless device.
[20:02] <jefferoonie> petester, I had to do the same for my Arduinos and ESP8266s
[20:03] <bumblefuzz> tomreyn, grep: (Network|Ethernet) controller: No such file or directory
[20:03] <petester> had a little bit of wife aggro.  ah the joys of working from home
[20:03] <tomreyn> bumblefuzz: you missed the ticks
[20:03] <petester> i added myself to dialout, about to test
[20:03] <bumblefuzz> not in the input I didn't
[20:04] <bumblefuzz> I pasted the output
[20:04] <petester> i'm up and running, thanks for the help tomreyn and jefferoonie!
[20:05] <tomreyn> 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] <jefferoonie> I didn't do anything.
[20:05] <jefferoonie> lol
[20:05] <petester> yeah but you affirmed that was the likely problem :)
[20:05] <jefferoonie> Just said I was there in the past with my little devices..  Thanks
[20:05] <tomreyn> congrats
[20:05] <bumblefuzz> tomreyn, that's what I did but I don't see it
[20:05] <bumblefuzz> I do see it when I do lsusb
[20:06] <tomreyn> bumblefuzz: ok, my mistake then, sorry.
[20:06] <tomreyn> bumblefuzz: so which chipset is it, and what did you try so far to make it work?
[20:07] <tomreyn> and which ubuntu release are you running?
[20:07] <bumblefuzz> tomreyn, 20.04
[20:07] <bumblefuzz> realtek RTL8812AU
[20:07] <bumblefuzz> and I think I tried an install a few months ago
[20:07] <bumblefuzz> but I don't remember if it was this machine or another
[20:07] <bumblefuzz> so I'm trying to find out if I need to clean anything out first
[20:08] <bumblefuzz> and the, of course, install the proper driver
[20:08] <bumblefuzz> and then*
[20:08] <tomreyn> https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au looks like it could work
[20:08] <bumblefuzz> yeah there's lost of instructions out there
[20:09] <bumblefuzz> I've tried a few and they didn't work
[20:09] <bumblefuzz> what I don't know is how to uninstall the driver once it's clear it doesn't wrok
[20:10] <bumblefuzz> ...or how to find whether the relevant driver is installed in the first place
[20:11] <tomreyn> you can look for existing dirver source code in /usr/src/<module>-<module-version>/
[20:11] <tomreyn> you can use dkms to remove drivers it knows about
[20:11] <bumblefuzz> yep there it is
[20:11] <bumblefuzz> how do I remove?
[20:11] <tomreyn> lsmod lists drivers currently loaded, rmmod unloads them
[20:12] <bumblefuzz> is unloading permanent?
[20:12] <tomreyn> no
[20:12] <tomreyn> generally, you'll need to undo what you did to install
[20:13] <tomreyn> when it comes to custom built drivers, you'll be following instructions outside of package management (apt)
[20:13] <bumblefuzz> this was months ago
[20:13] <bumblefuzz> I don't remember exactly what I did
[20:13] <tomreyn> 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] <bumblefuzz> so, basically, I need to wipe and reinstall
[20:14] <tomreyn> apt list --installed 'somesearchterm' can help find relevant packages
[20:14] <bumblefuzz> but you just said it's outside apt
[20:14] <tomreyn> dpkg -S /path/to/somefile     tells you whether the given file is part of a package
[20:14] <tomreyn> it can be untracked by apt, doesn't have to be
[20:14] <bumblefuzz> so I found the files in /usr/src
[20:15] <tomreyn> dkms places code in /var/lib/dkms/<module>/<module-version>/build/
[20:15] <bumblefuzz> where do I go from there to find out what's installe and where
[20:15] <tomreyn> are those files part of a package then?
[20:15] <bumblefuzz> I don't know
[20:16] <tomreyn> then find out, i just provided you withj commands to do so
[20:16] <bumblefuzz> this is what's in /usr/src
[20:16] <bumblefuzz> rtl8812au-4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg
[20:17] <bumblefuzz> ok, I see rtl8812au in /var/lib/dkms
[20:18] <bumblefuzz> not sure what to do with that
[20:19] <tomreyn> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/dkms.8.html is the dkms !man page
[20:19] <bumblefuzz> so just 'dkms remove rtl8812au'?
[20:20] <tomreyn> yes, with sudo
[20:21] <tomreyn> !files | also relevant, bumblefuzz
[20:22] <bumblefuzz> Error! Invalid number of parameters passed.
[20:22] <bumblefuzz> Usage: remove <module>/<module-version> --all
[20:22] <bumblefuzz>    or: remove <module>/<module-version> -k <kernel-version>
[20:22] <tomreyn> 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] <bumblefuzz> I know how files work
[20:23] <bumblefuzz> unless you're saying something more subtle
[20:23] <tomreyn> see the SYNOPSIS section of the "dkms" man page, it explains which arguments to pass to the command, in which form.
[20:24] <tomreyn> by the "files" hint i meant to point you to the list of directories under / which are explained on that page
[20:24] <tomreyn> (also to the "hier" man page)
[20:25] <tomreyn> i think you want    dkms remove [module/module-version]
[20:26] <bumblefuzz> sudo dkms remove rtl8812au --all
[20:26] <bumblefuzz> returns
[20:26] <bumblefuzz> Error! Invalid number of parameters passed.
[20:26] <bumblefuzz> Usage: remove <module>/<module-version> --all
[20:26] <bumblefuzz>    or: remove <module>/<module-version> -k <kernel-version>
[20:26] <tomreyn> !paste
[20:26] <tomreyn> rtl8812au is a module name
[20:26] <bumblefuzz> it's what's in /var/lib/dkms
[20:26] <tomreyn> you need to find out the version to remove a given version
[20:27] <tomreyn> i 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 on
[20:27] <bumblefuzz> how do I see what's installed?
[20:28] <bumblefuzz> you said lsmod shows what's loaded
[20:28] <bumblefuzz> but how do I know which one is rtls8812au
[20:28] <tomreyn> dkms status
[20:28] <tomreyn> ...tells you which modules are registered with dkms
[20:28] <bumblefuzz> ah ok
[20:28] <bumblefuzz> there we go
[20:28] <bumblefuzz> (I don't know anything about kernel modules and such)
[20:29] <tomreyn> dkms is not a requirement to build kernel modules, though, it's an option
[20:29] <tomreyn> so you could also have other builds somewhere ont he file system
[20:29] <bumblefuzz> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qq96HJdmnJ/
[20:30] <Bustin> on 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] <bumblefuzz> so how do I use that to specify the version in the dkms remove command
[20:31] <tomreyn> bumblefuzz: i don't remember, try 4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg or just 1 for the version
[20:31] <tomreyn> rtl8812au/<version>
[20:32] <bumblefuzz> and it's going
[20:33] <bumblefuzz> dkms status shows it's gone
[20:33] <bumblefuzz> now, what does that mean?
[20:33] <bumblefuzz> do I have to do anything else?
[20:34] <tomreyn> i couldn't know, since we have no records of what you did initially
[20:34] <bumblefuzz> but removing it from dkms does what
[20:34] <bumblefuzz> ?
[20:34] <bumblefuzz> do I have to remove it from the kernel?
[20:34] <bumblefuzz> unload a module?
[20:35] <petester> so I can't get this application to connect to the USB hardware without invoking sudo
[20:35] <tomreyn> the dkms man page would tell
[20:35] <petester> I've added my user to group dialout
[20:35] <bumblefuzz> like I said, I don't know how the kernel modules work
[20:36] <bumblefuzz> do I have to build a new kernel?
[20:36] <bumblefuzz> using dkms as per the manpage is one thing
[20:36] <i-node> Hello, 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] <bumblefuzz> understand what needs to be done kernel/module-wise is another
[20:36] <tomreyn> jefferoonie: 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.
[20:37] <tomreyn> bumblefuzz: 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.
[20:38] <i-node> I 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 --login
[20:38] <tomreyn> jefferoonie: disabling secure boot in your bios may help work around this.
[20:45] <jefferoonie> Alright...
[20:45] <jefferoonie> Thanks
[20:46] <jefferoonie> tomreyn, Thank you.
[20:47] <jefferoonie> Going to check that out.
[20:51] <jefferoonie> Back
[20:55] <jefferoonie> tomreyn, I ran unbuntu-bug while the audio was working (after reinstalling pulseaudio) I am wondering if I should have run it while it was not working.
[20:56] <Scriptonaut> hey 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 substitution
[20:56] <Scriptonaut> how would I do that?
[20:57] <Scriptonaut> this is ubuntu 18.04 by the way
[21:11] <TJ-> Scriptonaut: cron jobs aren't shell scripts
[21:12] <TJ-> Scriptonaut: see "man 5 crontab"
[21:14] <Scriptonaut> TJ-: 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] <Scriptonaut> I guess I could create a script that exports and sets the env var, and then source it in my cron command
[21:15] <TJ-> Scriptonaut: I'd use a systemd timer
[21:16] <TJ-> Scriptonaut: timer triggers a unit; unit can execute a shell script and/or set env vars
[21:16] <Scriptonaut> ah ok
[21:19] <clarkk> I'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/
[21:28] <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 column
[21:29] <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 destination
[21:33] <drinner2> hello
[21:39] <petester> hey TJ- I like your boot process guide
[21:40] <petester> is there such a thing as a bare metal assembly 'hello world' or is all the UEFI/ACPI stuff too complicated for that?
[21:44] <tomreyn> jefferoonie: 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.
[21:47] <pavlos> petester: https://riptutorial.com/assembly/example/10682/hello-world-for-linux-x86-64--intel-64-bit-
[21:50] <petester> pavlos that is pretty cool but i dont think that will boot?
[21:51] <pavlos> petester: you want to boot bare metal and print hello world?
[21:52] <petester> yeah
[21:54] <petester> i think it was easier with regular old-school bios
[21:55] <drinner2> it's possible se ssh as -D and -R at the same time ?
[21:56] <drinner2> I mean connect throught ssh on 22 port with dynamic forwarding, and at the same time able -R on the remote machine on 2 ports
[22:10] <PeGaSuS> hello 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"?
[22:20] <pavlos> PeGaSuS: make it static
[22:22] <PeGaSuS> pavlos: what do you mean by static? and how? :p
[22:22] <pavlos> PeGaSuS: static ip v. dhcp ... look at netplan
[22:34] <clarkk> TJ-, 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 ip
[22:40] <Maik> PeGaSuS: https://www.linuxtechi.com/assign-static-ip-address-ubuntu-20-04-lts/
[22:45] <PeGaSuS> Maik: tks! I'll put my config like that and I'll give it a try
[22:50] <Maik> PeGaSuS: there's also a official Ubuntu Server guide you can follow or read through if you like: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/network-configuration
[22:56] <PeGaSuS> Maik, pavlos: thanks for the quick replies and help. all seems working perfectly
[22:56] <geosmile> How do i create a swap space of 4TB fast?
[22:57] <kk4ewt> geosmile you have 4
[22:57] <kk4ewt> T of ram?
[22:58] <Maik> PeGaSuS: you're most welcome
[22:58] <wonko> In multipass why do all the dotfile in my home dir give me Permission denied (os error 13) when I try to do simple operations? (ls)
[22:58] <wonko> I can mkdir/rmdir/etc but I can't ls unless I use sudo
[22:59] <kk4ewt> wonko,  that is usual
[22:59] <wonko> well, maybe not all dotfiles
[22:59] <wonko> I can cat .profile
[22:59] <wonko> but I can't ls .ssh or .kube
[23:00] <kk4ewt> if you mkdir anywhere in your /home but not anywhere else
[23:00] <Maik> geosmile: no one has a swap file or swap partition of 4TB
[23:00] <wonko> for example: https://gist.github.com/bhechinger/b417d4af5a411bb1f4713d49ad76f62b
[23:01] <wonko> and I get that error when doing ls ~/.kube but I can use kubectl just fine
[23:01] <pavlos> PeGaSuS: great!
[23:01] <kk4ewt> wonko, ls -ls .foo
[23:02] <kk4ewt> wonko, ls -la .foo
[23:02] <wonko> https://gist.github.com/bhechinger/fd1b4ca1c57e61e8ddc6506e327441d4
[23:03] <kk4ewt> are you in your /home
[23:03] <wonko> I'm conpletely baffled here
[23:03] <wonko> yes
[23:03] <kk4ewt> by default .foo dont show in ls
[23:03] <kk4ewt> becasue . means hidden
[23:03] <wonko> yes
[23:03] <wonko> I know how that works, look at my gist
[23:04] <kk4ewt> i dont like looking a gist
[23:04] <wonko> Well I'm not pasting output here
[23:04] <kk4ewt> pastebins exist
[23:04] <wonko> gist works just fine as well, but sure, why the hell not
[23:05] <kk4ewt> wonko are you mkdir in your /home yes or no
[23:05] <wonko> yes
[23:05] <kk4ewt> mkdir .foo/two
[23:05] <wonko> https://pastebin.com/PyKr2zk0
[23:06] <kk4ewt> ls -la ,foo
[23:06] <kk4ewt> ls -la ,foo
[23:06] <kk4ewt> ls -la .foo
[23:06] <wonko> cannot access '.foo': Permission denied (os error 13)
[23:06] <kk4ewt> ok then you have messed up your permissions in home
[23:07] <kk4ewt> ls -la /home/$User
[23:08] <kk4ewt> your /home is normally 644
[23:08] <kk4ewt> yours is showing 774
[23:08] <wonko> 644 would never work
[23:09] <kk4ewt> why wouldnt it
[23:10] <kk4ewt> make a new user and login and see what its permissions are
[23:11] <wonko> you need execute to be able to enter a directory
[23:11] <wonko> so a directory that is 644 you could look in but not cd to
[23:12] <wonko> new user home dir is 755 as is the /home/ubuntu user. those are correct.
[23:19] <nhasian> Has anyone added an Active Directory (enterprise) user with Ubuntu 20.10?
[23:33] <Gh0sta> hello folks
[23:33] <Gh0sta> somehow I have managed to make my second HDD read only!
[23:33] <Gh0sta> can't save anything on it now, not even create a folder or something :(
[23:34] <Gh0sta> how would I make it read and write again?
[23:39] <Bashing-om> Gh0sta: File system now inconsistent ? Boot a liveUSB and run a file system check (fsck) - maybe an easy fix.
[23:39] <Gh0sta> Bashing-om: so it won't be done without a live USB?
[23:40] <Gh0sta> :(
[23:40] <Gh0sta> I have to make one
[23:41] <Bashing-om> Gh0sta: there is a "simple" check within the grub boot menu. It will so advise if one needs to go deeper to resolve.
[23:41] <Gh0sta> Bashing-om:  oh ok
[23:46] <Bashing-om> Gh0sta: Ouch: "my second HDD" fsck is for ext family file systems - what file system is on this 2nd hard drive ?
