faLUKEsarnold: I have only a text file in the control tarball00:00
faLUKEmaybe it means that only that /usr/bin/ script is installed00:00
sarnoldfaLUKE: here's the contents for prerm and postrm that I found inthe control tarball of python3-daphne: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yg6y4bd5qW/00:02
faLUKEsarnold: thanks again, daphne is a webserver. These scripts don't appear to create any service associated to it00:04
faLUKEthis appears weird to me00:05
sarnoldfaLUKE: I wouldn't be surprised if this is "just" the webserver, and that it is driven by an application making API calls to tell it which addresses and sockets to bind to, which functions to call on which methods and paths, which static files to serve, etc00:08
faLUKEsarnold: why not like: service nginx start/stop ?00:09
sarnoldfaLUKE: because then you wouldn't be writing your application in python, you'd be writing your application in Lua00:10
faLUKEsarnold: daphne is a webserver, not only a python engine00:11
faLUKEanyway, I don't want to be polemic with this. But now I wonder what to do in order to make it as service00:11
sarnoldfaLUKE: have you already written an ASGI application?00:13
sarnoldfaLUKE: or are you trying to run an ASGI application written by someone else?00:13
sarnoldfaLUKE: or are you just setting out to write your own ASGI?00:14
faLUKEsarnold: I already wrote it00:14
sarnoldcool cool, so you can run it via 'daphne -b .. -p ... path/to/application kind of thing, right?00:14
faLUKEsarnold: of course, but this is not the problem00:14
sarnoldyou could write a quick little .service file for that00:15
faLUKEsarnold: I try to explain00:15
faLUKEsarnold: all the asgi is ready, and tested with the CLI you just wrote. But now, I would like to make the user ready to install the webserver EASILY00:15
sarnoldfaLUKE: nice :)00:16
faLUKEsarnold: I could leave that asgi and a generic CLI for non-production00:16
faLUKEbut what about production?00:16
faLUKEI need at least a guide for creating the webserver environment without headache00:16
faLUKEI need to MAKE at least a guide for creating the webserver environment without headache00:16
faLUKE[01:15] <sarnold> you could write a quick little .service file for that <--- yes but are you sure it is a safe way?00:17
sarnoldfaLUKE: yeah, everything is started by systemd .service files00:18
faLUKEsarnold: but systemd must drop webserver processes to someuser. which?00:18
sarnoldfaLUKE: unfortunately there's too much documentation on how ot write .service files. they can do *everything* and it's hard to nail down what exactly *needs* to be done vs what should be done, etc..00:18
sarnoldfaLUKE: that's up to you to define; probably a new user account named after the service00:19
faLUKEsarnold: yes, but you understand it's not trivial to assign right and safe privileges to this user00:19
faLUKEthat's why a package with "service daphne start/stop" is important00:20
sarnoldfaLUKE: yes, it's important to make sure the user account can't actually log in via ssh, via the console, etc..00:21
faLUKEsarnold: so I don't know how to solve this mess00:22
faLUKEsarnold: at the current state daphne is unusable as a webserver, for this reason.00:22
faLUKEsarnold: and I'm forced to couple it with nginx or apache00:23
sarnoldfaLUKE: with most applications, it's very common to use nginx or apache in front of the application server anyway00:24
faLUKEsarnold: but this means that daphne's feature are trashed00:24

robertparkerxdoes node not require a ppa to have the most current stable release?00:57
sarnoldrobertparkerx: you could also install it via snap, that was last updated 13 november 2020: https://snapcraft.io/node01:01
faLUKEsarnold: well, given that I can't run daphne alone, for the reason I explained before, I wonder what's the easiest way to copule an apache or nginx service with a daphne's one01:08
sarnoldfaLUKE: the README claims it can communicate with a proxy using a unix socket in the filesystem, but it doesn't go into much detail about what that looks like01:09
sarnoldjust the mechanics of how to specify the socket01:09
faLUKEsarnold: I know how to create a unix socket listener on daphne01:10
faLUKEsarnold: this is not a problem. My problem is: how to run daphne?01:11
sarnoldfaLUKE: that's a good question. now you've got several services to integrate. I think I'd try to make a new nginx@.service template that could run the nginx front-end, a new faluke.service that will start up daphne, make sure the Wants=, Before=, etc, are set correctly for both services..01:15

sarnoldbummer that's just the question, and not particularly well-asked :(01:17
robertparkerxWhat's this mean https://url.hashdev.org/4s01:29
sarnoldrobertparkerx: it's possible ondrej has used different package names01:31
sarnoldrobertparkerx: check the issues on his github page, it's possible this has already been discussed there01:31

ezzieyguywufmy dad said he tried installing discord on his ubunto laptop, and now he can't boot the system01:42
ezzieyguywufI'll be honest, I think the issue may be unrelated to discord (he mentioned he did a dist-upgrade recently) but I thought I'd ask in case there's a known issue01:42
sarnoldezzieyguywuf: there's no complaints in here from anyone else with anything similar within my client's /lastlog01:46
ezzieyguywufsarnold: thank you for checking.01:48
ezzieyguywufUpon further interrogation it sounds like he's on an ubunto derivative, "deepin"01:48
ezzieyguywufso perhaps I'm in the wrong place, :-P01:48
sarnoldezzieyguywuf: there was a grub update a few months back that caused folks problems..01:53
sarnoldhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/GRUB2SecureBootBypass01:53
sarnoldezzieyguywuf: we pushed a new grub update a few days ago, it's possible it's the same problem01:53
ezzieyguywufsarnold: I'll dig into that. I did some research on deepin, and it seems that it's debian-based, so perhaps #debian may be some help too01:56
sarnoldezzieyguywuf: this mistake in grub config could be made on debian, as well, so if this feels like it, keep it in mind01:57
sarnoldezzieyguywuf: but you'll definitely need to do some groundwork to figure out what the cause is, before getting carried away01:57
ezzieyguywufsarnold: indeed, I suggested he  boot into a livecd to try to mount the root partition and examine the boot logs01:59
ezzieyguywufsarnold: according to the timeline in the wiki you linked, that issue was resolved back in july, but you mentioned that a new grub was pushed "a few days ago"02:00
ezzieyguywufam i missing something here?02:00
sarnoldezzieyguywuf: the new version ~two weeks ago was for other issues https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+changelog02:02
ezzieyguywufah, so even if he wasn't using uefi secureboot, this still may be related02:03

alazyI installed the hibernate package. My computer simply turned off when I tried it - no hibernation. A menu or notice appeared during installation - but too briefly because I unintentionally skipped through it with a stray keypress. I've tried to purge, reinstall, dpkg --configure but nothing makes it reappear. What to do to make it install and show that menu?02:24

rk4interesting, i just got the "Enter password to unlock the private key" screen pop up, but it doesn't tell my what application other than "An application wants access...", any ideas how to see what that application is? presumably this involves dbus?04:18
chalcednywe had this odd behavior from my husband's ubuntu 18.04 with it freezing. He got a new hard drive, and put 20.04 on it, and copied things to it, now it's frozen again.  I'm ssh'd to it. is anyone around that could look at dmesg and see if we can figure out why it's freezing?04:24
rk4chalcedny: pastebin your dmesg...04:26

robertparkerxI installed nodejs && npm before from a ppa I think. I was on 18.04 LTS. I recently upgraded to 20.04 LTS. I noticed that nodejs && npm were gone. I had to install them from the normal repo (I don't think a ppa is required anymore, right)04:56
robertparkerxis this fine?04:56
Rexodusrobertparkerx: I don't know what nodejs etc is, but if it's from the native repo, I'd say it is even better.05:01
robertparkerxI want to know why it removed it from before05:04
robertparkerxand is there no need to juse a ppa anymore05:04
RexodusIf the same package is installed and you are fine with it, you can forget about that old ppa.05:05
RexodusIf not, you have to re-add it and install it from there.05:05
RexodusBut again, I have no clue what packages you are talking about ;)05:06

tinloafHi. I just upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04, and apparently, now systemd-networkd is active. I've been using NetworkManager so far, but now (a) NetworkManager can't manage my ethernet interface anymore (b) some software like Spotify permanently thinks it's offline (even though the ethernet interface is up and running)10:04
tinloafWhat is the best course of action? Disable networkd and somehow get NetworkManager to take back control over the ethernet interface? (I've tried and not succeeded)10:05
tinloafAlso, it does not look like there is an equivalent to nm-applet for networkd, right? So I would very much prefer going with NetworkManager…10:06
tinloafHowever, `systemctl stop systemd-networkd.socket systemd-networkd networkd-dispatcher systemd-networkd-wait-online ; systemctl restart NetworkManager` does not get NetworkManager back in control10:07
tinloafMy NetworkManager.conf does not contain `managed=false` (complete content here: https://pastebin.com/LdEk2gfj )10:08
DocMorshi, can anyone tell me why I have to reboot after ubuntu updates? In the past that only happened every blue moon but now it appears to be necessary after each bloody update?10:33
lotuspsychjeDocMors: apt is smart, when it says it needs a reboot, its necesary10:35
lotuspsychjesecurity updates for example10:36
matsamanDocMors: new kernel?10:38
DocMorsI get that but my perception says the required reboots per update ratio has gone through the roof, its coming to a point where it's somewhat annoying. The question is probably that intentional or some oversight.10:38
matsamanit's doubtful that you have to do it, just that it's the final test everything will work ... or not10:38
DocMorsmatsaman, not every other week10:38
matsamanare you saying the updater forces you to reboot?10:39

ss2how?11:18
matsamanby attempting it11:18
Lopematsaman, I don't have access to an ubuntu install at the moment.11:19
ss2matsaman: sorry, I not sure if I'm understanding what you're meaning yet.11:19
stemidoh in my case it was the nfsvers. probably some default updated in 16.04. had to set nfsvers=2 to mount.11:20
ss2I mean, when I change a simple config, I'm quite certain that I won't need to fetch packages online. Everything should be available for an offline reconfigure.11:20
ss2My laptop isn't always connected well and I'd rather avoid online checks.11:21
matsamanLope: might not even be a problem, then?11:22
matsamanstemid: FWIW, I've always found sshfs about 2000 times less of a PITA than NFS11:22
matsamanit can be plenty fast with HPN and/or no/laxed encryption (where appropriate)11:24

faLUKEhello! What happened to widgets of 20.04 ?? I upgraded from 18.10... the new widgets appear to me a mess14:38
faLUKEbad icons, bad colors14:38
faLUKEwhy they changed the previous stuff?14:38
faLUKEalso lot of bugs14:39
coconutfaLUKE, widgets?14:39
faLUKEcoconut: yes, GUI widgets14:39
faLUKEicons, symbols etc.14:39
faLUKEI don't understand what happened14:39
coconutme neither to be honest14:40
faLUKEcoconut: do you agree?14:40
coconutfaLUKE, no i do not have that, but best is to show a printscreen i think14:40

faLUKEthe trash icon is rectangular: messy too14:47
faLUKEwidgets in 18.04 did not appear in this way14:47
lotuspsychjefaLUKE: this isnt a complaints channel, new ubuntu releases changes things..14:48
hggdhfaLUKE: so it is not *your* install, you are talking about the new view in general14:48
faLUKEhggdh: yes14:49
hggdhfaLUKE: so, as lotuspsychje pointed out, this is not the correct channel14:49
coconutfaLUKE, i do not run ubuntu with gnome, but did you check to change back the config for those settings in systems settings?14:49
faLUKEcoconut: which config, precisely?14:50
faLUKEhggdh: this is not a complaint channel but I wonder if I'm the only one who noted this14:50
faLUKEfor example: round corners everywhere14:51
faLUKEeven for scrollbars14:51
hggdhfaLUKE: IDK. You could also try https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/desktop/theme-refresh14:52
hggdhbut certainly here is not a good place14:52
lotuspsychjefaLUKE: see #ubuntu-discuss to talk about themes and changes14:52
faLUKElotuspsychje: thanks14:53
coconutfaLUKE, dunno where to check faLUKE, i already said i don't run gnome(mate)14:53
faLUKEcoconut: I'm going to change desktop env, then14:54

jilhello.15:49
jilI'm running bionic, I cannot upgrade right.  Could that be the reason why I cannot detect a recent bluetooth microphone that I bought, while I pair without problem with a bluetooh speaker of the same brand?15:52
TJ-jil: if the BT client device is BT LE only and the PC host doesnt/isn't supporting LE that could be another reason16:29

MikeRLYou guys were right when someone said I have too many GNOME shell extensions.17:17
MikeRLOne got a memory leak. I was minding my own businessm, messing with virtualbox and all of the sudden the guest OS was acting weird.17:17
MikeRLSo I checked the task manager on Win7, nothing weird.17:17
MikeRLThen on 20.10 I checked and all but .1GB of 16GB RAM was in use.17:18
MikeRLIs there any way to find the culprit besides manually disabling them one by one?17:20
MikeRLI hit the kill switch in gnome-tweaks and the lag and memory usage went away.17:20
MikeRLCulprit found. GSConnect.17:38
MikeRLDisabling it stopped the lag, high memory usage, etc.17:38
MikeRLQuestion is - how do I report this to the dev? What logs do I need?17:39
MikeRLHmm. Not good. GSConnect needs a new maintainer. I left a Github comment asking the old maintainer to forward my memory leak issue to someone who will likely take over, given how popular phone integration is these days.17:49
coconutMikeRL,  best you can do is asking your question in the gsconnect irc channel.17:50
coconutScroll to the end of this page to see the irc channel https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki17:50
MikeRLThanks coconut .17:50
MikeRLWill do ASAP.17:50

Peyamis there a terminal command that says like this "install ubuntu-desktop if there isnt any ubuntu-desktop else just upgrade it "?17:57
coconutPeyam, can you be more precise what you want?17:59
Peyamwell let me explain18:00
PeyamLet say that I have a couple of computers that I handle with ansible. some of them may have a Desktop environment and some of them don't.18:01
Peyameach time a new version of that ansible script come people have to run it but that script even installs the softwares that the developer have choosen to not have installed18:02
Peyamso is there anyway to tell ubuntu to not install anything that have ben uninstalled from the DE and only install updates on those who are already installed18:02
coconutsorry no experience with that here... hope some can help though18:06

g105bHi all, please may I ask what's up with Snaps and Flatpacks? I don't care whether the technology is any better/worse, I just want to install something and get on using it, but whenever I find something pushing snaps or flatpaks, I find basic functionality to be missing, but they're nothing new now so the problem has to be me, right? In a nutshell,22:16
g105bif I install something via snap/flatpak certain apps don't understand copy/paste, or drag/drop or what happens when I click a link (no browser opens). What am I doing wrong?22:16
sarnoldg105b: sometimes you need to 'connect' snaps to grant permissions for them to do thingsw22:17
sarnoldg105b: https://ubuntu.com/blog/a-guide-to-snap-permissions-and-interfaces22:17
g105bWow OK, so is this something that should be handled by the installer, but is missing functionality? I don't think this is the kind of thing that a regular user would want to do. My family use Ubuntu because I promoted it, but it's things like this that make Ubuntu (and me) look bad, because now my grandmother can't send me the photo she's tried to22:19
g105bedit.22:19
g105bIs there something similar with flatpack?22:19
sarnoldI don't understand flatpak's privileges model22:19
g105b"Hi Grandma, I've found out what your problem is, you just need to configure your interface connections because you chose to install the software via snap instead of deb. Remember this is Linux for Humans!"22:20
oerheksubuntu uses snaps, and they are available in softwarecenter22:20
g105bYep, they are preferred by softwarecentre.22:20
nubonixhi there, was hoping for some help... so my display manager (gdm3) keeps restarting, freezing my computer for 10-15 seconds, restarts the taskbar, and then continues to normal, it does this frequently22:45
nubonixviewing journalctl -f i see ALOT of `Window manager warning: MetaSyncRing: We should never wait for a sync -- add more syncs?` messages22:45
nubonixviewing `Window manager warning: MetaSyncRing: We should never wait for a sync -- add more syncs?` without sudo i see `gkr-pam: no password is available for user`22:46
nubonixviewing `systemctl status display-manager.service` mb22:46
nubonix`sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3` also does nothing, no screen/terminal pops up22:47
nubonixso basically GNOME Display Manager keeps reloading indefintely22:48

lusrxI tried to install google chrome on ubuntu 20.04 using a .deb file I downloaded directly from Google using Firefox that came with Ubuntu.

isapgswellgordonjcp i wait 1 min to appear images text23:36
isapgswellgordonjcp sometimes23:36
isapgswellgordonjcp ubuntu should use mlocate with ubuntu software23:37
sarnoldisapgswell: it might be worth watching output of 'vmstat 1', and look for non-zero entries in the si and so columns23:37
gordonjcpisapgswell: that doesn't make a lot of sense23:38
gordonjcpisapgswell: what exactly are you doing?23:38
gordonjcpisapgswell: if you're opening a terminal window, that's quite slow23:39
gordonjcpisapgswell: if you're raytracing 4k video, that's pretty quick23:39

gordonjcpisapgswell: can you describe exactly what you're doing?23:47
sarnoldmaybe record a video or take screenshots or something23:48
sarnoldor run the vmstat 1 command that I recommended23:48
gordonjcpisapgswell: if you're genuinely struggling with English, maybe one of the other #ubuntu channels in your local language could help although they are a lot less busy23:48
