[00:15] <geosmile> DreamPCS, yes, I did
[00:16] <geosmile> I think perhaps its expecting a 19.10 instead of a 18.04LTS repo?
[00:16] <geosmile> or something similar?
[00:27] <DreamPCS> Ok, one sec.
[00:27] <geosmile> DreamPCS, thanks
[00:29] <DreamPCS> Ok, my guess is your package manager isn't adding the PPA. Try to remove the repository, update, and then re-add the repository. Pay special attention to the last few lines of the output after you install the repository.
[00:30] <DreamPCS> sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:landscape/19.10
[00:30] <DreamPCS> Will remove the repo.
[00:31] <DreamPCS> "sudo apt update" will update the package list, make sure this completes with no errors. Once that's done, you'll want to re-add the repo "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:landscape/19.10"
[00:32] <DreamPCS> Again, pay special attention to the last few lines of output after adding the repo.
[00:36] <DreamPCS> The last line should read "Reading package lists... Done"
[00:37] <DreamPCS> If that's the case, then run "sudo apt update" again to update the list of packages. Finally, run "sudo apt install landscape-server-quickstart"
[00:38] <DreamPCS> If you get an error or anything that suggests something didn't run smoothly, let us know.
[00:38] <DreamPCS> I gotta restart, brb.
[00:48] <DreamPCS> Back if you need me.
[00:49] <geosmile> DreamPCS, thanks. Trying
[00:51] <geosmile> DreamPCS, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/txnfqhQTYD/
[00:51] <DreamPCS> One sec
[00:54] <DreamPCS> What version are you using?
[00:54] <DreamPCS> 18.04?
[00:55] <geosmile> 20.04LTS on this machine
[00:55] <geosmile> 20.04.1 LTS
[00:55] <DreamPCS> This is the machine you're trying to install landscape on?
[00:56] <geosmile> yes
[00:56] <DreamPCS> Ok, one sec.
[00:58] <yaomtc> I recently upgraded Ubuntu. For some reason, Terminal is now dark gray text on a black background.
[01:02] <DreamPCS> qeosmile: Ok, so based on what I've gathered, it doesn't look like there is a 20.04 release of landscape. I can't find a repo on launchpad that has landscape in it for 20.04
[01:03] <Bashing-om> yaomtc: Defaults. With xterm once can change the defaults to whatever one wishes. -terminal -> terminal preferences -> colors.
[01:03] <DreamPCS> I did find a website, however, that does have a debian package (.deb file) that could probably be installed on your system. *****BUT***** This is not a site controlled by Canonical and I can't vouch for these people as I have no experience with this site.
[01:05] <DreamPCS> Again, this is NOT a site that is recommended by me or by Ubuntu, Canonical, or whomever. Use this link at YOUR OWN RISK!!! -- https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-main-amd64/landscape-client_19.12-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb.html
[01:07] <DreamPCS> geosmile: See above.
[01:07] <yaomtc> Bashing-om: For some reason "system theme" colors are screwed up. Thanks. I disabled that and switched to the "GNOME dark" scheme.
[01:11] <hwpplayer1> hi people!
[01:11] <yaomtc> Guess I'll report a bug
[01:12] <hwpplayer1> I just wanted to ask if there is a project by Ubuntu/Canonical for P2P, IRC and cjdns and yggdrasil or not
[01:13] <yaomtc> hwpplayer1: I don't know what cjdns or yggdrasil are, but there are plenty of great apps for P2P and IRC in the software repos.
[01:14] <hwpplayer1> yaomtc: Thanks for your reply so there is utox for instance, but do Ubuntu developers commit to some project ?
[01:14] <hwpplayer1> If not i am gonna start
[01:15] <DreamPCS> yaomtc: I didn't even realize that would be something to report a bug for, thanks for that.
[01:16] <yaomtc> Oh you meant P2P chat. Helps to be more specific when asking questions, there's lots of peer-to-peer technologies.
[01:16] <hwpplayer1> Not only chat, all it operations
[01:17] <hwpplayer1> Information Technologies
[01:17] <yaomtc> ...you're being very vague
[01:17] <hwpplayer1> In short as i understand Canonical and Ubuntu only makes packages
[01:20] <yaomtc> hwpplayer1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_(company)
[01:20] <hwpplayer1> Yes I know them
[01:21] <yaomtc> I'm showing you that they don't only make packages.
[01:21] <hwpplayer1> What I mean there is Juju developed by Canonical but if there is a project like what i mention or not
[01:21] <yaomtc> Oh, no.
[01:21] <hwpplayer1> ? Could you please elaborate ?
[01:22] <yaomtc> There are not peer-to-peer applications developed by Canonical.
[01:22] <yaomtc> Or IRC applications.
[01:22] <hwpplayer1> Yes that is what i mean
[01:22] <hwpplayer1> Okay Then I'll do that
[01:23] <hwpplayer1> cylater back to work yaomtc
[01:23] <yaomtc> hwpplayer1: OK, just keep in mind the other applications that already exist, and decide if what features they're lacking require a new application entirely
[01:24] <yaomtc> or if you could just contribute to the ones already there
[01:24] <hwpplayer1> I know the way
[01:24] <hwpplayer1> Yes sure
[01:37] <geosmile> DreamPCS, Is it the case that landscape is not something that Canonical is willing to maintain?
[02:38] <mojtaba> Hello, I am using chromium, and recently I have realized when I click on the page (like anywhere) it opens a random page.
[02:43] <hwpplayer1> mojtaba: Yes You can configure it like others'
[02:43] <mojtaba> hwpplayer1: What do you mean?
[02:44] <mojtaba> hwpplayer1: I just wonder if I have been infected by a malware of some sort of thing!
[02:45] <hwpplayer1> mojtaba: ?
[02:45] <mojtaba> hwpplayer1: I have opened google.com, and I click on the text bar to enter a text, and all of the sudden a random page opens!
[02:45] <mojtaba> It is not always like that, it is very random.
[02:45] <mojtaba> Sometimes it happens, sometimes no.
[02:46] <hwpplayer1> mojtaba: Search for Google Chrome help support channels imho
[02:46] <mojtaba> Do they have an IRC channel?
[02:46] <hwpplayer1> Or wait for others to help you
[05:10] <juanonymous> when testing ubuntu (live boot) can you instert other medias, like usb?
[05:10] <juanonymous> web cameras?
[05:12] <quadrathoch2> Yes
[05:12] <quadrathoch2> juanonymous
[05:13] <juanonymous> good
[05:13] <juanonymous> nice
[05:38] <DerpoDrago> hello
[05:40] <DerpoDrago> can someone help me
[05:41] <Bashing-om> !ask | DerpoDrago
[05:47] <DerpoDrago> hi i am trying to manually boot from grub 2.04 and whenever i type the command "linux /boot/vinuz-5.4.0-54-generic root=/dev/sda4", it spits out "error: too deep nesting of symlinks" and doesnt do anything else. how can i fix this?
[08:30] <newdimension_> Is there a way to elevate change directory operations? Whenever I need to access folders that are limited to the root user (e.g. /etc/wireguard) I run "sudo su". Just wondering if what I'm doing is correct
[08:36] <matsaman> newdimension: used to be plain 'su' would suffice, but a lot of distros have adopted a thorough abuse of sudo at this point instead
[08:36] <matsaman> Ubuntu included
[08:37] <matsaman> so if plain 'su' doesn't work to become root, I see no problem with running 'sudo su' and calling it a day
[08:37] <newdimension> Got it, thanks for the feedbak
[08:37] <newdimension> *feedback
[08:44] <mojtaba> Does anybody know how to fix easystroke crashing in Ubuntu 20.04?
[08:47] <matsaman> mojtaba: run it from a terminal and get an error message
[08:51] <mojtaba> matsaman: The error is paste.ubuntu.com/p/5ctth2dt4c
[08:57] <mojtaba> matsaman: Sorry the correct page is http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5ctth2dt4C/
[08:58] <matsaman> mojtaba: search engine says: https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2333750.html
[08:59] <matsaman> possibly not perfectly maintained software
[09:02] <matsaman> mojtaba: so basically maybe this: https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/pull/13
[09:04] <mojtaba> matsaman: So do you know what should I do to fix it?
[09:07] <matsaman> mojtaba: either patch it yourself with the information in the links provided and build it and install that fixed version, or seek out someone else's build that's done the same
[09:11] <mojtaba> matsaman: Ok, thanks.
[09:12] <matsaman> mojtaba: https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/tarball/pull/13/head https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke/wiki/BuildInstructions
[09:13] <matsaman> mojtaba: the 'checkinstall' package might also be worth using for this purpose, so your package manager still keeps track

[09:14] <cxl> Hi all, I have a systemd user unit that runs borgmatic (which uses ssh under the hood to connect to the backup server). The problem is that I am using a host defined in my ~/.ssh/config, and when the user unit runs it can't find the host because I guess it doesn't read my ~/.ssh/config. How do I make the systemd unit "see" that ssh config file?
[09:14] <cxl> on 20.04
[09:18] <matsaman> cxl: ssh -F ?
[09:18] <matsaman> or determine the user being used, and set up a ~/.ssh/ for that user as desired, etc.
[09:20] <cxl> I tried the -F but it didn't help. Either with ~/.ssh/config or /home/me/.ssh/config. How do I find out what user does the systemd user unit run as? Isn't it my own user?
[09:25] <matsaman> cxl: probably not, not by default, no
[09:25] <matsaman> telling your service/unit to just run 'whoami' to a log file is usually helpful
[09:26] <cxl> matsaman: echo `whoami` would be enough?
[09:32] <matsaman> cxl: as long as you can see the output, sure
[09:44] <TJ-> cxl: "systemctl --user cat <service-name>" will show the unit file which should help ID the user account.
[09:45] <TJ-> cxl: the system-wide unit has " ExecStart=systemd-inhibit --who="borgmatic" ..."
[09:45] <morris> Does anyone know how to fix csgo_linux64 not responding in steam?
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> morris: launch steam from terminal and open a journalctl -f running on the background, then provide us logs/errors
[09:46] <morris> And the minimizing of the initial screen to meny?
[09:46] <morris> ok
[09:48] <morris> Hmmm i'm new to this one started journalctl -f but how do i start steam afterwards
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> morris: a new terminal and launch steam typing steam
[09:49] <morris> alles gut
[09:50] <morris> nov 29 10:50:10 OptiPlex-7010 gnome-shell[1677]: Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x4600005
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> morris: use a pastebin and paste the whole 2 logs of both steam and journal
[09:51] <morris> okay
[09:57] <morris> https://pastebin.com/G9Te3PY2
[09:59] <lotuspsychje> hmm a lot of failed errors on steam
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> morris: can you pastebin; sudo lshw -C video && uname -a
[10:02] <morris> I know... Official ubuntu nvidia driver 455 and installed from console
[10:04] <morris> https://pastebin.com/Tu9xy3gd
[10:05] <lotuspsychje> allrighty, thats looking good morris
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> morris: so where is your game getting stuck exactly?
[10:10] <morris> In the beginning of the initial game. Getting a sign that says csgo_linux64 is not responding. Option to force quit or just wait
[10:12] <morris> maybe exted the period of thime for the sign to start appear for like say 30 sec
[10:12] <matsaman> failed errors
[10:12] <matsaman> that's success, no? =)
[10:14] <morris> :)
[10:14] <lotuspsychje> morris: can you try disable shader pre-caching in the Steam settings?
[10:14] <morris> will se
[10:16] <morris> ingame or steam client?
[10:16] <morris> found it
[10:18] <morris> still the same problem...
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> ok
[10:19] <morris> just to click wait and it starts... But it's anoying
[10:19] <lotuspsychje> morris: what about launching with -nojoy
[10:20] <morris> will give it a go
[10:21] <morris> did not work
[10:22] <morris> still the same problem
[10:22] <lotuspsychje> ok im out of ideas then morris
[10:23] <lotuspsychje> morris: your apt isnt giving you errors on; sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade ?
[10:24] <Jayx276> Hello. How does Ubuntu automatically partition disk. My disk was partitioned by one efi partition(512mb) and rest ext4. I managed to overwrite the first 50mb and lost both partitions - test disk & gparted cannot recover partitions. The disk is 120034123776 bytes and 234441648 sectors
[10:25] <morris> no it's perfect
[10:27] <morris> I guess i will have to live whit it for now on... Thanks for trying to help me out...
[10:27] <lotuspsychje> morris: ok, see also the #gamingonlinux channel maybe they know whats this about
[10:27] <morris> i will give it a go
[10:29] <TJ-> Jayx276: how did you manage that? did you choose "something else" in the installer? You can still recover the partitions but you'd need to rebuild the EFI-SP
[10:55] <TJ-> Jayx276: only needs 3 key-presses in gdisk to recover the partition table
[10:59] <Jayx276> Ok
[11:00] <Jayx276> I will try
[11:00] <TJ-> Jayx276: I presume you're using a Live ISO boot to try to recover?
[11:00] <TJ-> Jayx276: in which case open a terminal shell, then use "sudo gdisk /dev/sdX" where 'X' is the damaged device
[11:02] <TJ-> Jayx276: there you'll get warnings about the broken partition "Found invalid MBR and corrupt GPT. What do you want to do? " - choose option "1 - Use current GPT " then press 'r' to go to the "Recovery/transformation" sub-menu then press 'b' to "use backup GPT header (rebuilding main)" then 'p' to print the table to check it, then 'w' to write it to disk
[11:04] <TJ-> Jayx276: You may need to also run "sudo partprobe /dev/sdX" to tell the kernel to re-read the partition table
[11:05] <TJ-> Jayx276: then check the ext4 file-system is OK with "sudo fsck /dev/sdX"
[11:07] <TJ-> Jayx276: then recreate the EFI-SP: "sudo mkfs.vfat -n EFI-SP -F 16 /dev/sdX1" (assuming it *IS* partition 1 on sdX)
[11:07] <TJ-> Jayx276: you'll still need to recreate the directory structure and re-install GRUB to the EFI-SP of course
[12:27] <fattest> Hi. I'm on ubuntu 20.04 desktop. My /etc/resolv.conf keeps changing to nameserver 127.0.0.53 which I don't want. I want it to be 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but after doing "sudo service systemd-resolved restart", it changes back to 127 nameserver. Please help https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dQNGrP662r/
[12:27] <fattest> Not sure what to do
[12:29] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:39] <Deyaa> I want to configure vsftp to allow anonymous upload
[12:41] <TJ-> fattest: that is as it should be! /etc/resolv.conf points to the local stub resolver
[12:41] <fattest> TJ- how do I use Google's nameserver 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ?
[12:41] <TJ-> fattest: set the manual DNS IP addresses in the network config for the interface
[12:42] <TJ-> fattest: that means the NetworkManager Edit Connection from  nm-applet (the network icon in the notification area)
[12:42] <fattest> TJ- I have done this https://i.imgur.com/re6OoiO.png
[12:43] <TJ-> fattest: that's correct; so the stub resolver will use those
[12:44] <TJ-> fattest: "resolvectl status" to check which DNS servers are used on each link
[12:44] <fattest> TJ- https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/82G2c8CdkV/
[12:44] <fattest> how does this look?
[12:45] <fattest> but I had this on for a while
[12:45] <fattest> when i restart systemd-resolved, it goes back to 127.0.0.53
[12:45] <TJ-> fattest: that's correct as it is
[12:45] <TJ-> fattest: DO NOT MESS with /etc/resolv.conf
[12:45] <TJ-> fattest: 127.0.0.53 is the address of the local systemd-resolved stub resolver, and THAT uses the upstream DNS servers you've set
[12:46] <fattest> oh i see
[12:46] <fattest> thank you for this
[12:46] <TJ-> fattest: :)
[13:59] <Xard> I'm having some issues with snd-intel-hda ACL1220 microphone input with Ubuntu 20.04: after boot it's fine for a while but after some time the quality drops abysmal and even gnome sound input panel volume levels update only couple of frames per second
[14:12] <BarFoo> Hi, I have a weird issue
[14:13] <BarFoo> I have an ethernet cable that works with computer A and not computer B
[14:13] <BarFoo> both are running 18.04
[14:13] <BarFoo> Up until today it worked with computer B
[14:14] <BarFoo> but I moved computer B to a new room, NetworkManager no longer has any option to connect to ethernet (can give screenshot or something)
[14:14] <BarFoo> Anyway, i can unplug the ethernet from my desktop machine, plug it into my laptop, and it works perfectly
[14:16] <BarFoo> Anyone have any ideas?
[14:18] <BarFoo> trying live usb right now, see if it's maybe a hardware problem or NetworkManager messing with me
[14:24] <BarFoo> LiveCD works
[14:24] <BarFoo> ok so it's NetworkManager playing games with me
[15:05] <thumbfinger> I am trying to install xubuntu on a PC with integrated storage and an SSD I installed myself.  The installer, after picking "Install alongside Windows Boot Manager" only offers to install to internal storage by resizing my Windows partition.  I can see my SSD drive in gparted and in the "Something else" option.  Am I missing something?  I want to keep my Windows boot and Xubuntu boot separate.
[15:05] <thumbfinger> The machine I am talking about is a CHUWI Larkbox
[15:36] <Xard> okay, I after shutting down --user pulseaudio.service and pulseaudio.socket I can reload snd_hda_intel kernel module and start pulseaudio after that and the microphone works again for some time
[15:38] <thumbfinger> Apparently initializing the secondary drive in Windows was what I needed to do for it to show up in the installer...
[15:44] <FreeBDSM> omg, damn ubuntu installer doesn't let me to change input language to english on the stage where I need to enter my name, my pc name and my user name. Shift+alt simply doesn't switch the language, although said hotkey worked juuuust fine on the stage where I selected language input. And now installer won't let me go back to the language change to choose english.
[15:45] <FreeBDSM> in other words, choosing non-english language on earlier stage forces user to name their pc, built-in user and said user's name in the same language. Such bugs are just ridiculous. Right in the fucking installer!
[15:46] <legomaniacfr> hello
[15:47] <thumbfinger> I've seen worse.  Maybe try other common shortcuts, too?  I actually installing now, but I'm in too deep to test that.  Ctrl+Space is common, as is Win+Space, worth a try.
[15:47] <FreeBDSM> oh, and the cherry on top: it just won't let you specify username! because it expects first char to be a latin char
[15:47] <FreeBDSM> what the fuck
[15:47] <legomaniacfr> what is the best distro
[15:48] <FreeBDSM> legomaniacfr: not Xubuntu
[15:48]  * thumbfinger nervously continues installing xubuntu
[15:48] <legomaniacfr> im not using xubuntu im ubuntu mate
[15:50] <legomaniacfr> what is the best software for sound
[15:50] <legomaniacfr> for linux
[15:50] <thumbfinger> I think Ubuntu uses PulseAudio
[15:51] <legomaniacfr> well i know that
[15:52] <legomaniacfr> also how you can make a blog with wordpress on firefox
[15:52] <FreeBDSM> what
[15:52] <thumbfinger> It's hard to guess what stage you need help with based on that question.
[15:52] <legomaniacfr> well how to install wordpress
[15:53] <FreeBDSM> hire a guy
[15:53] <thumbfinger> lol
[15:54] <legomaniacfr> ok that was maybe the worst question that i just say (sorry for bad english im french)
[15:54] <thumbfinger> To get you started learning, I'd look into installing a LAMP stack.  Once you're comfortable with that, figure out if you want to pay for web hosting.  If you just want to have a blog and now learn about web hosting, etc. then yeah, hire a guy.
[15:54] <legomaniacfr> ok
[15:55] <FreeBDSM> the question just has nothing to do with #ubuntu irc channel, so it's offtopic here
[15:55] <FreeBDSM> just write /join #wordpress and ask there
[15:55] <legomaniacfr> ok
[15:55] <FreeBDSM> they might have all the necessary articles already written and waiting for you to read them
[15:56] <legomaniacfr> but also a question it have to do with ubuntu how i can put the old gnome font of ubuntu between the 4.10 and 8.10
[15:57] <Xard> Okay I managed to get some progress with modifying modprobe parameters "snd_hda_intel bdl_pos_adj=64,64" (HDMI and ACL1220)
[15:58] <legomaniacfr> ok
[16:08] <FreeBDSM> how come ubuntu degraded so much? 18.04 is so much better than 20.04
[16:09] <Maik> !discuss | FreeBDSM
[16:11] <RadSurfer> IS THERE anyone here who understands how "Encoding" options work in a Terminal? I need some information please.
[16:12] <Maik> !ask | RadSurfer
[16:12] <Maik> !patience
[16:12] <RadSurfer> Can I add and/or modify existing "Encoding" options available to a Terminal?
[16:13] <RadSurfer> Are these files that can be examined, edited or what?
[16:14] <RadSurfer> for that matter, why aren't classic normal Encoding options available in Ubuntu terminals?
[16:25] <FreeBDSM> Maik: I have a support question: how to fucking change the system language from english to a different one in the goddamn 20.04 LTS ubuntu (xfce)?
[16:25] <FreeBDSM> it just lists my language as grayed out
[16:25] <FreeBDSM> and I can't pick it to apply system wide
[16:26] <FreeBDSM> this situation is just top ridiculous
[16:26] <Maik> FreeBDSM: please mind your language
[16:28] <FreeBDSM> Maik: please understand my anger
[16:28] <thumbfinger> Nobody is even going to be able to tell you what the issue is or if there is a solution unless you say what your language is.  If you're looking for the interface in k'iche, there's probably no solution for you.  If you're looking for it in German, there probably is.
[16:29] <N3bulaK> How to I pastebin the following command? sudo dmidecode --type 17
[16:30] <RadSurfer> redirect to file, than paste into a pastebin?

[16:35] <N3bulaK> ubottu: thanks, that is it
[16:35] <N3bulaK> DJones: Thanks
[16:35] <DJones> N3bulaK: You're welcome
[16:36] <DJones> Hope it helps diagnose your issue
[16:38] <thumbfinger> Just an FYI, "command >> file" will redirect SDOUT to a file.  "command | command" will redirect STDOUT to another command.  "sudo dmidecode --type 17 pastebin" would attempt to pass pastebin as an argument to dmidecode.
[16:39] <N3bulaK> thumbfinger: Thanks
[16:39] <xMeia> hello, how do I get my windows in taskbar to open to the right of my icons instead of pushing them further to the right on the taskbar
[16:39] <gigi2> I m a beginner.My version is 18.04.5 LTS bionic, i installed it to an old acer. I did the mistake to choose the 32bit version, and now it is impossible to use programs such as skype and zoom. How do I upgrade to a different lubuntu version such as 20.04.1 for example?
[16:40] <gigi2> 64bit obviously
[16:41] <thumbfinger> Easiest way will be to re-install from scratch.
[16:42] <N3bulaK> Is there a way to find out if my RAM will be compatible with AMD motherboard/CPU?
[16:51] <gigi2> anyone??
[16:51] <hwpplayer1> gigi2: Yep
[16:53] <coconut> gigi2, you can do a do-release-upgrade, but i don't think that will upgrade it from 32 to 64 bit by itself too. I would either google for that, or reinstall from scratch with 20.04.1.
[17:01] <ambidextrose> so i have the 14.04 minimal ISO and a 15.10 system with infected dbus processes... there's a way to boot minimal, chroot into the 15.10, and install the older systemd that comes packaged with minimal.iso from scratch, right? or can i port the system to sysvinit?
[17:01] <Eickmeyer[m]> !eol | ambidextrose
[17:14] <ambidextrose> yeah i'm just trying to keep doing my research
[17:17] <ambidextrose> well at least i know why i'm quitting ubuntu
[17:53] <FreeBDSM> is port 22 forbidden for incoming connections by default on 20.04?
[17:59] <thdootdootman> shmushmuntu
[17:59] <thdootdootman> y download so slo
[18:00] <rfm> FreeBDSM, not forbidden but the default desktop install doesn't include sshd.  "apt install opensshd-server" is what I do.
[18:01] <FreeBDSM> rfm: oh, thanks.
[18:05] <rfm> FreeBDSM, it's openssh-server, without the d,, sorry.   "apt install ssh" is shorter and installs the client too..
[18:08] <FreeBDSM> how to tell ssh client to prioritize password over keys?
[18:09] <FreeBDSM> `ssh -o PreferredAuthenticationspassword myhost`
[18:09] <FreeBDSM> thanks
[18:21] <krytarik> And here I thought everybody just disabled that for security reasons even..
[18:24] <RadSurfer> Anyone understand how Code-pages and Encoding works in Terminal? Need some assistance.
[18:27] <tomreyn> RadSurfer: probably. but you won't get to know until you ask your actual question so that anyone can respond to it. ;-)
[18:27] <RadSurfer> [11:12:58] <RadSurfer> Can I add and/or modify existing "Encoding" options available to a Terminal? Are these files that can be examined, edited or what?
[18:29] <krytarik> You are slightly cryptic there really..
[18:29] <RadSurfer> I wish to know why CP437 is not offered in Ubuntu Terminal; can it be specifically added?
[18:29] <RadSurfer> closest thing offered is "IBM850"
[18:31] <krytarik> Well, it should be the same as in any other app though.
[18:31] <RadSurfer> Evidently it is not.
[18:31] <RadSurfer> doesn't answer my other question: Can additional code pages be added manually?
[18:32] <kk4ewt> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40953596/linux-console-how-to-change-the-codepage-to-dos-cp437
[18:33] <RadSurfer> That's a start I suppose, thanks.
[18:34] <RadSurfer> Don't understand why most popular codepage is not just offered! CP437 (IBM850 is a close "substitute")
[18:34] <ioria> https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/IBMgraphics#gnome-terminal   RadSurfer
[18:34] <tomreyn> can you discuss the use case? i'm really interested.
[18:35] <RadSurfer> 8..6..2..?
[18:36] <RadSurfer> holy cow!
[18:36] <RadSurfer> Thank you, that last link was useful.
[18:37] <RadSurfer> not like I was going to go through every possible entry in "encoding", lol.
[18:37] <RadSurfer> Would to learn how it all actually works, so I understand technical side of it.
[18:37] <RadSurfer> ^like
[18:38] <RadSurfer> 862 is not perfect, but 128-255 characters are there.
[18:39] <RadSurfer> CP437 is only one that properly maps ALL the characters as would be expected.
[18:41] <RadSurfer> Then there's also consideration which FONT is used; also plays a diabolical role in things!
[18:47] <coconut> Any way to create year- and timestamps in history file?
[18:51] <tomreyn> coconut: HISTTIMEFORMAT='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ' history | less
[18:51] <tomreyn> i'm assuming you're referring to the shell history.
[18:51] <coconut> yup i do indeed
[18:52] <tomreyn> oh wait this doesn'T actually work
[18:52] <coconut> but can i configure it by default?
[18:52] <tomreyn> i think time stamps of those commands aren't recorded, you'd need to use script
[18:55] <tomreyn> you'd need to set / export this variable in your login scripts. from then on, your history file should contain timestamps
[18:56] <coconut> i see, thanks tomreyn
[18:57] <morris> does anyone know why gnome is a bit sensetive to csgo showing csgo_linux64 not responding all the time at startup?
[18:57] <tomreyn> see 'man 1 bash' -> HISTTIMEFORMAT and 'man 3 strftime' for details
[18:58] <coconut> :)
[19:09] <coconut> Any way to go to the HISTTIMEFORMAT section in man bash at once?
[19:18] <FinboySlick> Greetings people.  I'm having an issue with iptables-persistent apparently not loading my rules on boot.  I see them saved in /etc/iptables/rules.v4 and if I "service iptables restart", they get reloaded just fine.  However, if I reboot, the rules aren't there.
[19:23] <morris> iptables-persisstent save
[19:24] <morris> one s
[19:25] <morris> FinboySlick iptables-persistent save
[19:25] <FinboySlick> morris: It has to be re-saved using the service?
[19:26] <FinboySlick> morris: I'm assuming you mean "service iptables-persistent save", right?
[19:26] <morris> FinboySlick sudo apt update && sudo apt install iptables*
[19:27] <FinboySlick> Those are already installed.
[19:28] <morris> FinboySlick type sudo iptables-save && sudo iptables-persistent save
[19:29] <FinboySlick> morris: "iptables-persistent: command not found"
[19:29] <morris> FinboySlick download nessesary files
[19:30] <morris> did you download all iptables stuff that i was typing
[19:30] <FinboySlick> iptables-persistent is installed but it's a service, it's not a shell command.
[19:31] <krytarik> coconut: I was going to say you can just search for the term as usual in 'less', but it doesn't say much about it anyway - just look here instead for an example: https://askubuntu.com/questions/391082/how-to-see-time-stamps-in-bash-history - and perhaps at the strftime manpage if you need more details.
[19:31] <morris> sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent
[19:32] <morris> After it's installed, you can save/reload iptables rules anytime:
[19:32] <morris> sudo /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent save
[19:32] <morris> sudo /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent reload
[19:32] <coconut> thanks :)
[19:32] <FinboySlick> morris: "iptables-persistent is already the newest version (1.0.14)."
[19:32] <morris> reload
[19:33] <FinboySlick> morris: " /etc/init.d/iptables-persistent: No such file or directory"  This is ubuntu 20.04.1, btw.  If this weren't systemd, I don't think I'd be here asking for help.
[19:34] <morris> well sorry for trying to help... Figure it out your self then on the internet
[19:34] <morris> iptables*
[19:35] <FinboySlick> morris: I'm grateful for your attempt to help, I just don't quite understand what you mean.  apt-get install doesn't take wildcards.
[19:35] <morris> old one did
[19:36] <morris> dont use it my self at the moment. Did it on Debian
[19:37] <FinboySlick> morris: Yeah.  That's what I'm trying to diagnose.  What I did also worked on debian before.  I think it has something to do with the whole iptables-legacy thing.
[19:37] <morris> I have been using both ap and apt-get that seems to work better sometimes dont know why
[19:38] <morris> apt
[19:38] <morris> better result whit apt-get
[19:39] <morris> it's working for me
[19:40] <morris> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install iptables*
[19:40] <morris> 130Mb
[19:40] <FinboySlick> Thing is that iptables-persistent is already installed.
[19:40] <FinboySlick> Are you on 20.04 ?
[19:40] <morris> well do as i say
[19:40] <morris> yes
[19:43] <FinboySlick> OK, the wildcard worked but those are all dev packages (along with gcc9 and what not).  The only iptables package that gets added is iptables-netflow-dkms
[19:44] <tomreyn> i don't thionk it's missing packages either.
[19:44] <morris> Have it your way. Afterwards it's sudo iptables-save && sudo iptables-persistant save
[19:44] <morris> you obious do
[19:44] <morris> it works forme
[19:44] <tomreyn> FinboySlick: are you on 20.04? I didn't see you state so directly.
[19:45] <FinboySlick> tomreyn: yes
[19:45] <tomreyn> you should prefer systemctl for service management, not 'service', definitely not '/etc/init.d/...'
[19:47] <FinboySlick> tomreyn: Well, iptables-persistent added the 'iptables.service' service.  If I 'restart' it, my rules get loaded just fine.
[19:47] <tomreyn> i'm not entirely sure whetehr there is a systemd service file for iptables-persistent, though
[19:47] <tomreyn> ah, good
[19:47] <vlm> with mdadm i created two raid 0 from 4 500G disks then i made a raid 1 from that,i was wondering,if one 500G disk fails,could i just replace the whoel raid 0 array with a 1tb disk and rebuild raid from that?
[19:47] <FinboySlick> tomreyn: My problem is that it doesn't seem to work when I reboot.
[19:47] <tomreyn> FinboySlick: so check your logs about why the service would not start properly
[19:48] <FinboySlick> tomreyn: got hints as to how I'd do that, I'm really bad at systemd.
[19:49] <tomreyn> journalctl -xe iptables    i would think
[19:50] <tomreyn> or just   journalctl -b    and then search for iptables (type "/iptables", then enter, then "n" to hop to the next match)
[19:51] <FinboySlick> tomreyn: Thanks, found the issue.  One of the rules calls for an ipset that doesn't exist.
[19:51] <tomreyn> nice, that was easy.
[19:54] <FinboySlick> tomreyn: thanks.
[19:57] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[20:16] <renn0xtk9> sudo apt install boost-defaults
[20:16] <renn0xtk9> E: Unable to locate package boost-defaults
[20:16] <renn0xtk9> anybody knows wtf?
[20:17] <Habbie> renn0xtk9, that package does not exist in Ubuntu; why are you looking for it?
[20:18] <renn0xtk9> because I need to install boost
[20:18] <tomreyn> this *source* package exists for ubuntu
[20:19] <tomreyn> https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&keywords=boost-defaults&searchon=sourcenames
[20:20] <geosmile> what is a good way to install nvidia drivers+cuda on a machine with 16.04 using apt-get so that update/upgrade don't break things?
[20:21] <tomreyn> you're aware of how much longer 16.04 is supported?
[20:22] <geosmile> tomreyn, 1 more year?
[20:22] <tomreyn> !16.04
[20:22] <tomreyn> 5 months
[20:22] <geosmile> oh! I thought it was for a year. Thanks for the update
[20:23] <tomreyn> i.e. better plan on an upgrade soon, then come back to this topic.
[20:23] <coconut> tomreyn, package exist, but i cannot install it here on focal with default repo
[20:24] <coconut> (boost-defaults)
[20:25] <tomreyn> coconut: source packages would need "deb-src" lines in your apt source configuration, which you probably don't have. but i think you're actually looking for bniary packages produced from it.
[20:25] <geosmile> tomreyn, how do i backup the "/" mount only to "/mnt/databackup/backup"?
[20:25] <krytarik> coconut: It's in the 'universe' repo, so you might need to enable it.
[20:25] <tomreyn> coconut: i.e. click on the respective "Binary packages: [show X binary packages]" link and identify the package(s) you need
[20:26] <ioria> coconut, if you need libboost, you maybe want libboost-all-dev
[20:27] <tomreyn> geosmile: are you asking how to backup the contents of the root directory, but not its subdirectories, somehow, to a file system mounted at "/mnt/databackup/backup"?
[20:28] <geosmile> tomreyn, yes
[20:28] <geosmile> my "/" is mounted from /dev/sdd2. I want to copy all its contents to /mnt/... which is mounted on another drive.
[20:29] <geosmile> Then I can fresh install 18.04
[20:30] <tomreyn> normally, the only files you'd have in / are symbolic links to your kernel and initrd
[20:30] <tomreyn> so i'm not sure this is going to get you the result you're looking for
[20:30] <geosmile> the problem is if i try "cp -r / /mnt/..." then that is recursive...and the machine has other drives
[20:31] <geosmile> I just want /dev/sdd2 to be backed up
[20:31] <tomreyn> what's your goal in copying these files?
[20:33] <coconut> tomreyn, no i was just checking on the question of renn0xtk9, and i indeed do not have deb-src enabled
[20:36] <tomreyn> coconut: again, i don't think deb-src is what you want / need to "get boost". you probably want compiled libraries, not their source code.
[20:37] <tomreyn> so you probably want to go with what ioria said.
[20:38] <geosmile> tomreyn, just a backup before i wipe out the drive. If I need some config files/home files, I can recover them from the backup
[20:41] <tomreyn> geosmile: so then you should probably take a copy of the relevant directories, but not the full installation. you'll want /home /etc and maybe some subdirectories of /var (such as /var/log or /var/lib/mysql), recursively.
[20:41] <tomreyn> !backup | geosmile
[20:48] <geosmile> tomreyn, thanks. I'll just manually copy /var /etc /home
[21:00] <kaiser> hello, I am trying to get my Nvidia GPU working under ubuntu 20.04. The GPU is a Quadro P520 in a Thinkpad P43s. I have the nvidia 455.45.01 driver installed, however no matter which prime profile i select, my ubuntu always says its using the intel GPU. When i attempt to offload the gpu to a specific application, the following output shows
[21:01] <kaiser> https://pastebin.com/QBry5Muz
[21:02] <morris> bios setting maybee?
[21:02] <kaiser> it detects that it supports optimus, it detects it supports prime, but nvidia detector shows no output
[21:02] <kaiser> which bios setting would that be?
[21:02] <tomreyn> geosmile: the easiest approach is to use, as root: tar czf /path/to/destination/mybackup.tar.gz /source/path/1 /source/path/2 ...
[21:03] <morris> system bios
[21:03] <tomreyn> geosmile: but be aware that some data structures, such as databases, will not backup in a consistent state if the system / service is currently active / running.
[21:03] <morris> mine has an intel to but i picked nvidia card and it works great
[21:04] <kaiser> interesti know which bios you're talking about, are you saying there might be a bios setting to select the gpu?
[21:04] <kaiser> ill try checking my bios, brb
[21:09] <kaiser> checked bios, only graphics card settings was regarding how much vram the intel gpu gets
[21:10] <Jonii> I'm doing distro upgrade and the computer froze
[21:11] <Jonii> Is freezing(mouse, keyboard etc) normal or do I have to reboot?
[21:11] <Jonii> I've wanted for 15min now
[21:11] <Jonii> Waited*
[21:16] <morris> kaiser Does not your bios detect the nvidia card?
[21:16] <morris> PEG
[21:17] <kaiser> morris: it has not settings relating to it
[21:17] <morris> ok
[21:17] <morris> disable the intel card manually then in bios
[21:17] <kaiser> pretty sure there was no option for that
[21:17] <morris> strange
[21:18] <kaiser> linux def sees the gpu
[21:18] <kaiser> c:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP108GLM [Quadro P520] (rev a1)
[21:18] <kaiser> from lspci
[21:19] <morris> then it's not a bios setting exept i would like to be an option for disabeling the intel card
[21:20] <morris> do you have the quadro driver
[21:21] <kaiser> morris: the driver i have installed according to dkms status: nvidia, 455.45.01, 5.4.0-53-generic, x86_64: installed
[21:22] <kaiser> is there a specific driver besides this for quadro cards?
[21:22] <jeremy31> kaiser: does driver manager offer anything else?
[21:22] <morris> shure is
[21:23] <morris> sure is
[21:23] <kaiser> like the "additional drivers" app?
[21:23] <jeremy31> I haven't heard much good about nvidia 455
[21:23] <jeremy31> kaiser, yes
[21:23] <morris> http://www.nvidia.com/drivers
[21:23] <kaiser> yeah theres like 6 drivers it offers me, im using the open source 455 one
[21:23] <morris> quadro to choose
[21:26] <kaiser> the options are, 450 closed source, 418-server closed source, nvidia 455 open source, nvidia-450-server closed source, nvidia 440 server closed source and noveau xserver-xorg driver open source
[21:26] <kaiser> this website is buggy as hell
[21:27] <kaiser> everytime i switch product series, it flickers and changes back to the first one
[21:27] <kaiser> works fine in chrome, thats a weird firefox issue
[21:27] <morris> i know i had the same problem
[21:28] <kaiser> downloading the driver
[21:29] <kaiser> guess ill run it
[21:30] <morris> save the installler for uninstallation --uninstall
[21:31] <kaiser> kk
[21:31] <kaiser> well its building the dkms module now, waitin
[21:36] <kaiser> staying at 5% for a while...
[21:36] <morris> haha
[21:36] <ham1986> i did a DU command in root directory, im getting a total of 15GB out of 36GB disk, yet when unpacking a file it tells me ive run out of space. what other tools can i use for disk space?
[21:38] <kaiser> im pretty sure this is frozen
[21:39] <morris> hmmmm
[21:39] <morris> a dumb question but did you uninstall previos driver first?
[21:39] <kaiser> no.... ll
[21:39] <kaiser> lol
[21:39] <kaiser> i should probably do that
[21:40] <morris> yes
[21:40] <morris> different arch
[21:42] <kaiser> should --uninstall with this be good enough to remove the pre-existing driver?
[21:43] <morris> drivername and --uninstall
[21:45] <morris> ubuntu driver sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[21:45] <morris> sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:45] <morris> https://www.allaboutlinux.eu/?s=nvidia
[21:49] <ham1986> ive been trying to install the nvidia driver (i ran the file a few times) now my drive is full. it looks to unpack in the tmp dir but theres only empty folders there. how can i clean up my tmp dir so i can unpack this file properly?
[21:50] <kaiser> alright, apparently its installed now
[21:50] <kaiser> rebooting
[21:54] <kaiser> morris: it works!
[21:54] <morris> alles gut
[21:59] <tomreyn> ham1986: /tmp is usually backed by RAM (a ramdisk), so it cannot be larger than your installed physical ram. /tmp should not normally store a lot of data, though. maybe you're missing a hidden directory (starting with a dot) which was left over from your previous attmept at unpacking / installing the driver from there.
[22:00] <tomreyn> the "ncdu" software, or mbaobab, for a graphical option, can help you iodentify what's consuming disk space there
[22:01] <tomreyn> * "baobab"
[22:17] <ham1986>    5.0 GiB [##########] /usr    4.0 GiB [#######   ]  swap.img    3.3 GiB [######    ] /home    1.1 GiB [##        ] /snap  652.6 MiB [#         ] /var  648.1 MiB [#         ] /lib   81.7 MiB [          ] /boot
[22:18] <ham1986> o0o0o0
[22:18] <ham1986> its in /local
[22:18] <ham1986> ncdu is awesomeeee
[22:23] <rpnx> Question, anyone know of a tablet I can buy with ubuntu preinstalled
[22:24] <rpnx> or, alternatively, and tablet which ubuntu is well supported on?
[23:05] <cousteau> Hi!  Is it possible to disable desktop effects (Compiz) on Ubuntu 20.04?  VLC seems to perform very poorly there.  This doesn't happen in Lubuntu on the same PC
[23:06] <cousteau> (I don't know if desktop composition can be disabled or replaced with an alternative window manager.  It can in Xubuntu but well, that's Xubuntu, not Ubuntu)
[23:06] <cousteau> anyway, MPV seems to work better than VLC
[23:06] <EriC^^> cousteau: try to install compizconfig-settings-manager , sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[23:08] <cousteau> EriC^^, well, that would allow removing individual effects, right?  Not removing ALL the effects
[23:09] <cousteau> (and if I recall correctly, one of the "effects" is the window decoration, and I don't want to remove that)
[23:10] <EriC^^> yeah you can remove individual effects
[23:10] <cousteau> OK so I didn't want to believe askubuntu.com, which suggested to uninstall VLC and install it via apt, and well... it worked
[23:11] <EriC^^> cousteau: ah, must be something to do with the snap vlc vs ordinary package
[23:13] <Blade-Runner> hi, i installed ubuntu after win 10 and i dont get grub at startup i get bootloader. if i dont press f9 it boots directly into win. how can this be changed?
[23:13] <Blade-Runner> shouldnt i get grub instead?
[23:13] <EriC^^> Blade-Runner: type 'sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999' and paste the link here
[23:13] <Blade-Runner> ok
[23:15] <Blade-Runner> https://termbin.com/kimmg
[23:15] <EriC^^> Blade-Runner: you should, but some uefi firmware is tricky with non-windows OS, sometimes they give you an option in the bios/uefi to switch the order of the entries, but doing it from the software via efibootmgr it just gets reset when you reboot, sometimes you have to do a workaround if there's nothing to edit in the uefi/bios
[23:16] <Blade-Runner> ok
[23:16] <EriC^^> windows is set before ubuntu right now, so it must have reset the list after ubuntu installed and set itself first
[23:16] <Blade-Runner> yes
[23:16] <EriC^^> you can either see if you can edit the list in the bios, or do a workaround if that's not an option
[23:17] <EriC^^> is this an hp laptop?
[23:17] <Blade-Runner> what do i switch in the bios? yes laptop
[23:17] <EriC^^> hp?
[23:17] <Blade-Runner> yes
[23:17] <EriC^^> ok, likely there's no list in the bios, so you'll have to do a workaround, same for my hp
[23:18] <Blade-Runner> i know nothing about what your describing
[23:18] <EriC^^> the easiest workaround i've found is to just disable the windows entry, that usually works
[23:18] <Blade-Runner> ok disable where?
[23:18] <EriC^^> type 'sudo efibootmgr -A -b 0000'
[23:19] <EriC^^> in the future if you want to re-enable it you do 'sudo efibootmgr -a -b 0000'  or whatever number the windows entry is
[23:20] <Blade-Runner> i put in your terminal command and got a list is that it?
[23:20] <Blade-Runner> all i have to do?
[23:20] <EriC^^> yeah, it should not have a "*" next to Boot0000 now
[23:20] <EriC^^> meaning it's not active
[23:21] <EriC^^> Blade-Runner: try rebooting, see if you get grub without f9
[23:21] <Blade-Runner> ok
[23:21] <Blade-Runner> thanks :) you made it easy
[23:27] <Blade-Runner> it worked great :)
[23:27] <EriC^^> awesome :)
[23:28] <Blade-Runner> is it possible to increase the font in grub? its very small hand hard to read
[23:28] <Blade-Runner> yes awesome
[23:29] <EriC^^> Blade-Runner: type 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub'
[23:30] <Blade-Runner> ah, edit
[23:30] <EriC^^> you want to remove the  "#"    from #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 so it's not commented out anymore, and change the resolution to something you like
[23:30] <EriC^^> then save and exit, and sudo update-grub to write the new grub.cfg
[23:30] <Blade-Runner> wonderful thanks a bunch this has been an irritation for weeks :)
[23:31] <EriC^^> yeah it can be annoying, no problem
[23:35] <Blade-Runner> there is no line #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
[23:37] <EriC^^> Blade-Runner: hmm it might be towards the bottom, try scrolling down to the end of the file
[23:37] <SupaYoshi> hi, how do i figure out what's wrong with my rclone.service file. error = systemd[1]: /etc/systemd/system/rclone.service:12: Missing '='.
