[00:00] sarnold: I have only a text file in the control tarball [00:00] maybe it means that only that /usr/bin/ script is installed [00:02] faLUKE: here's the contents for prerm and postrm that I found inthe control tarball of python3-daphne: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/yg6y4bd5qW/ [00:04] sarnold: thanks again, daphne is a webserver. These scripts don't appear to create any service associated to it [00:05] this appears weird to me [00:08] faLUKE: 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, etc [00:09] sarnold: why not like: service nginx start/stop ? [00:10] faLUKE: because then you wouldn't be writing your application in python, you'd be writing your application in Lua [00:11] sarnold: daphne is a webserver, not only a python engine [00:11] anyway, I don't want to be polemic with this. But now I wonder what to do in order to make it as service [00:13] faLUKE: have you already written an ASGI application? [00:13] faLUKE: or are you trying to run an ASGI application written by someone else? [00:14] faLUKE: or are you just setting out to write your own ASGI? [00:14] sarnold: I already wrote it [00:14] cool cool, so you can run it via 'daphne -b .. -p ... path/to/application kind of thing, right? [00:14] sarnold: of course, but this is not the problem [00:15] you could write a quick little .service file for that [00:15] sarnold: I try to explain [00:15] sarnold: 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 EASILY [00:16] faLUKE: nice :) [00:16] sarnold: I could leave that asgi and a generic CLI for non-production [00:16] but what about production? [00:16] I need at least a guide for creating the webserver environment without headache [00:16] I need to MAKE at least a guide for creating the webserver environment without headache [00:17] [01:15] you could write a quick little .service file for that <--- yes but are you sure it is a safe way? [00:18] faLUKE: yeah, everything is started by systemd .service files [00:18] sarnold: but systemd must drop webserver processes to someuser. which? [00:18] faLUKE: 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.. [00:19] faLUKE: that's up to you to define; probably a new user account named after the service [00:19] sarnold: yes, but you understand it's not trivial to assign right and safe privileges to this user [00:20] that's why a package with "service daphne start/stop" is important [00:21] faLUKE: yes, it's important to make sure the user account can't actually log in via ssh, via the console, etc.. [00:22] sarnold: so I don't know how to solve this mess [00:22] sarnold: at the current state daphne is unusable as a webserver, for this reason. [00:23] sarnold: and I'm forced to couple it with nginx or apache [00:24] faLUKE: with most applications, it's very common to use nginx or apache in front of the application server anyway [00:24] sarnold: but this means that daphne's feature are trashed === bettencb1 is now known as bettencb [00:57] does node not require a ppa to have the most current stable release? [01:01] robertparkerx: you could also install it via snap, that was last updated 13 november 2020: https://snapcraft.io/node [01:08] sarnold: 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 one [01:09] faLUKE: 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 like [01:09] just the mechanics of how to specify the socket [01:10] sarnold: I know how to create a unix socket listener on daphne [01:11] sarnold: this is not a problem. My problem is: how to run daphne? [01:15] faLUKE: 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.. [01:16] might be related https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/django-channels-with-supervisor-nginx-and-daphne-not-activating-web-sockets-how-to-configure-them [01:17] bummer that's just the question, and not particularly well-asked :( [01:29] What's this mean https://url.hashdev.org/4s [01:31] robertparkerx: it's possible ondrej has used different package names [01:31] robertparkerx: check the issues on his github page, it's possible this has already been discussed there [01:31] y [01:31] okay sorry [01:34] thanks sarnold [01:38] faLUKE: sure thing, have fun :) [01:42] my dad said he tried installing discord on his ubunto laptop, and now he can't boot the system [01:42] I'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 issue [01:46] ezzieyguywuf: there's no complaints in here from anyone else with anything similar within my client's /lastlog [01:48] sarnold: thank you for checking. [01:48] Upon further interrogation it sounds like he's on an ubunto derivative, "deepin" [01:48] so perhaps I'm in the wrong place, :-P [01:53] ezzieyguywuf: there was a grub update a few months back that caused folks problems.. [01:53] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/GRUB2SecureBootBypass [01:53] ezzieyguywuf: we pushed a new grub update a few days ago, it's possible it's the same problem [01:56] sarnold: 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 too [01:57] ezzieyguywuf: this mistake in grub config could be made on debian, as well, so if this feels like it, keep it in mind [01:57] ezzieyguywuf: but you'll definitely need to do some groundwork to figure out what the cause is, before getting carried away [01:59] sarnold: indeed, I suggested he boot into a livecd to try to mount the root partition and examine the boot logs [02:00] sarnold: 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] am i missing something here? [02:02] ezzieyguywuf: the new version ~two weeks ago was for other issues https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+changelog [02:03] ah, so even if he wasn't using uefi secureboot, this still may be related [02:09] Curious is there any app store that host .AppImage [02:10] i hate snap and flatpak is there a store for .AppImages at least [02:24] I 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? === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [02:50] alazy: I can't find anything that would directly pop up anything :/ buuuut this looks related https://sources.debian.org/src/hibernate/2.0+15+g88d54a8-1/debian/HOWTO/ === zbenjamin is now known as Guest56526 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [03:06] how do i setup a particular sound output device on ubuntu at boot? [03:06] It seems it keeps resetting what i set it to [03:11] I usually make myself scripts [03:11] derpadmin, I cant use pactl set-default-sink [03:11] not sure how to cli setup a particular output device [03:12] it looks like you find a command at least... [03:12] it does not work? [03:13] pactl list short sources -- does not show me the output device that i use from UI [03:54] hey: what happened to 20.04 ? I upgraded from 18 and see that all the widgets changed! But the previous ones seem much better to me [04:18] interesting, 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? [04:24] we 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? [04:26] chalcedny: pastebin your dmesg... [04:27] rk4, sure sec [04:29] If it locks up completely, it should be the last line @ timestamp before you reboot... [04:30] https://pastebin.com/H3NSPqfh [04:30] rk4, Rexodus i was able to ssh in with putty [04:31] maybe it's something graphical? [04:33] he still can't do anything. [04:34] it did open a terminal finally.. i used ctrl alt t .. but i came over here and sshd [04:34] I don't see anything special in your dmesg. [04:35] Is the same machine working fine with a live-cd? [04:35] While doing the same things of course [04:35] Rexodus, it was working fine until I tried to open another Libre Office window. then it froze and keeps locking [04:36] it unfreezes after a bit [04:36] it doesn't look like a memory problem [04:37] top - 23:37:22 up 2 days, 14:49, 2 users, load average: 1.81, 1.75, 1.93 [04:37] Tasks: 322 total, 2 running, 320 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie [04:37] chalcedny: Running out of memory ? what shows 'free' in another terminal - when under pressure ? [04:37] Open a terminal and run top. See what's using resources while it freezes. [04:38] nice to see you Bashing-om :) :) [04:39] Sry, I was reading your dmesg. [04:39] I have no clue... [04:39] https://pastebin.com/1jr2zVC8 is top [04:40] chalcedny: :D I see that you are still challenging. [04:41] Bashing-om, thank you :) someone has to be. [04:44] chalcedny: Well presently is not a memory constrtaint issue "2048.0 free,". I can suggest in another terminal to ' journalctl -f ' and watch this output for any hints. ( ctl+C to quit ). [04:45] Bashing-om, yep. Ok another mystery. [04:46] hubby does not like sharing monitor space with a terminal, i can run it here if he won't just reboot and push me off. [04:47] all of these things talk a lot about the usb devices? [04:52] You checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log for strange things? [04:53] Rexodus, not lately [04:55] But if things start to do strange while you open a office screen, and it freezes, I'd try the same on a live CD so you can exclude configuration failures. [04:56] ls /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:56] ls: cannot access '/var/log/Xorg.0.log': No such file or directory [04:56] I 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] is this fine? [05:01] robertparkerx: I don't know what nodejs etc is, but if it's from the native repo, I'd say it is even better. [05:04] I want to know why it removed it from before [05:04] and is there no need to juse a ppa anymore [05:05] If the same package is installed and you are fine with it, you can forget about that old ppa. [05:05] If not, you have to re-add it and install it from there. [05:06] But again, I have no clue what packages you are talking about ;) === Guest65465 is now known as beaver [06:08] how can I record my laptop microphone audio to a mp3 file. without interrupting other applications that use the microphone like zoom.

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) [10:05] What 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) [10:06] Also, it does not look like there is an equivalent to nm-applet for networkd, right? So I would very much prefer going with NetworkManager… [10:07] However, `systemctl stop systemd-networkd.socket systemd-networkd networkd-dispatcher systemd-networkd-wait-online ; systemctl restart NetworkManager` does not get NetworkManager back in control [10:08] My NetworkManager.conf does not contain `managed=false` (complete content here: https://pastebin.com/LdEk2gfj ) [10:33] hi, 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? [10:35] DocMors: apt is smart, when it says it needs a reboot, its necesary [10:36] security updates for example [10:38] DocMors: new kernel? [10:38] I 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] it's doubtful that you have to do it, just that it's the final test everything will work ... or not [10:38] matsaman, not every other week [10:39] are you saying the updater forces you to reboot? [10:39] morning [10:39] em [10:39] How do I know which service calls my /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf [10:40] I want to apply my settings without rebooting [10:40] probably one that starts with 'dh' [10:41] dpkg -S /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf might say where it came from [10:42] well, I see dhclient is running, but it looks like its called by service ifup@enp4s3.service [10:43] hmm, seems to have done the trick [10:43] systemctl restart ifup@enp4s3 that is [10:46] mmm, that's a bad name indeed =) [10:47] It's the ifupdown template [11:10] after upgrading to 16.04 my NFS shares stopped working. mount just hangs. showmount -e mkbnetdb06 on the client does show the mounts. ufw is inactive on both client and server. DNS works. I haven't changed the config but here is the exports and fstab I use. https://paste.debian.net/1176047/ and /var/backups/mysql is owned by root:root. is there an error log? [11:13] Anybody know how to use NvEnc in OBS-studio? [11:13] It doesn't appear. I found instructions from 2016 showing an overly complicated process to recompile ffmpeg etc [11:17] Lope: does it show up in 'ffmpeg -encoders'? [11:18] Is it possible to do a guix system reconfigure without the need of an internet connection? [11:18] ss2: that's likely easily tested [11:18] say, if I'm fiddling with the http setup, I don't always need an internet connection. [11:18] how? [11:18] by attempting it [11:19] matsaman, I don't have access to an ubuntu install at the moment. [11:19] matsaman: sorry, I not sure if I'm understanding what you're meaning yet. [11:20] oh in my case it was the nfsvers. probably some default updated in 16.04. had to set nfsvers=2 to mount. [11:20] I 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. [11:21] My laptop isn't always connected well and I'd rather avoid online checks. [11:22] Lope: might not even be a problem, then? [11:22] stemid: FWIW, I've always found sshfs about 2000 times less of a PITA than NFS [11:24] it can be plenty fast with HPN and/or no/laxed encryption (where appropriate) [11:36] matsaman, will see, thanks. [11:44] how can I grep dmesg? to search for a certain thing? [11:44] Please answer my one OT question [11:44] I've created a conda env. In it, there's python 3, and few other packages which are installed while conda env was created. But, tenserflow wasn't installed by conda. But, program in conda env needs it. How I should install tenserflow now. Install via system pm, pip (inside env) or via conda itself? Say, I installed tenserflow via system pm, can conda env see it and import it in python program inside env like [11:44] noobineer: don't ask to ask, ask your question and wait. [11:45] -- import tenserflow? Also, if I install half dependencies in requirements via pip(inside env) and half via conda, is that a problem? [11:45] n00b101: is this ubuntu? [11:45] your os?

[14:48] faLUKE: so it is not *your* install, you are talking about the new view in general [14:49] hggdh: yes [14:49] faLUKE: so, as lotuspsychje pointed out, this is not the correct channel [14:49] faLUKE, i do not run ubuntu with gnome, but did you check to change back the config for those settings in systems settings? [14:50] coconut: which config, precisely? [14:50] hggdh: this is not a complaint channel but I wonder if I'm the only one who noted this [14:51] for example: round corners everywhere [14:51] even for scrollbars [14:52] faLUKE: IDK. You could also try https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/desktop/theme-refresh [14:52] but certainly here is not a good place [14:52] faLUKE: see #ubuntu-discuss to talk about themes and changes [14:53] lotuspsychje: thanks [14:53] faLUKE, dunno where to check faLUKE, i already said i don't run gnome(mate) [14:54] coconut: I'm going to change desktop env, then [14:56] lol [15:00] faLUKE, not everyone i just as much a fan of the look and feel of mate, but some actually just like it more than others. [15:00] *is [15:18] LordChaos: Sorry my network died, but got it working just py switching nameserver to googles. Thank anyway. [15:20] kaari: good to hear [15:49] hello. [15:52] I'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? [16:29] jil: if the BT client device is BT LE only and the PC host doesnt/isn't supporting LE that could be another reason === Fuechschen is now known as xfnw` === xfnw` is now known as xfnw [17:17] You guys were right when someone said I have too many GNOME shell extensions. [17:17] One 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] So I checked the task manager on Win7, nothing weird. [17:18] Then on 20.10 I checked and all but .1GB of 16GB RAM was in use. [17:20] Is there any way to find the culprit besides manually disabling them one by one? [17:20] I hit the kill switch in gnome-tweaks and the lag and memory usage went away. [17:38] Culprit found. GSConnect. [17:38] Disabling it stopped the lag, high memory usage, etc. [17:39] Question is - how do I report this to the dev? What logs do I need? [17:49] Hmm. 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. [17:50] MikeRL, best you can do is asking your question in the gsconnect irc channel. [17:50] Scroll to the end of this page to see the irc channel https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki [17:50] Thanks coconut . [17:50] Will do ASAP. [17:51] yw [17:56] hi [17:57] is there a terminal command that says like this "install ubuntu-desktop if there isnt any ubuntu-desktop else just upgrade it "? [17:59] Peyam, can you be more precise what you want? [18:00] well let me explain [18:01] Let 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. [18:02] each 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 installed [18:02] so 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 installed [18:06] sorry no experience with that here... hope some can help though [18:06] Peyam: yes, ansible has the ability to require depedencies [18:07] Peyam: check if the desktop package is installed === ijohnson is now known as ijohnson|lunch [18:08] if [ `dpkg -l | ubuntu-desktop | wc -1` -eq 1] [18:08] I don't know if that is correct though [18:09] hi everyone, ubuntu 18.04, i am getting an error that I can't connect to a display when i do "ssh -X user@host", can someone help me get the display variable set up properly. [18:10] Peyam: please seek support from #ansible. You'll want to do this in anible, not in a shell script [18:11] awesome thanks [18:15] Peyam: guessing that should be an -l not a -1 [18:16] and probably dpkg -l | grep -i 'ubuntu-desktop' | wc -l [18:22] Peyam: I recommend $( ) over ` ` as it's easier to read [18:22] so on Xubuntu 20.04.1 LTS i've lately been seeing tha the newest kernel versions from the mainline branch aren't being built successfully for amd64 [18:22] this started a month or two ago [18:22] is something up? [18:26] for example, from today https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.9.13/ [18:26] i don't know if this is on-topic here or not, so if it isn't, feel free to direct me elsewhere [18:30] !discuss | the_tanuki [18:30] the_tanuki: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [18:31] the_tanuki: also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [18:33] the_tanuki: if it's still active: #ubuntu-kernel [18:42] the_tanuki: it has been mentioned to the kernel team === denningsrogue4 is now known as denningsrogue [19:34] - [19:40] having a problem when I ctrl-shift-v (or whatever) and if I hit the shift first it doesn't work.. only when ctrl gets hit first [19:40] any ideas if there is a fix for this in ubuntu or do I just blame the keyboard? [19:43] nevermind. looks like I figured it out [19:43] Hey all [19:43] quick question, I have windows installed on one drive and Ubuntu on the other, how would I create a OS selection screen at the start up? [19:44] my daily driver is Ubuntu! [19:45] is there is an option in Ubuntu do this? thanks [19:46] N3bulaK: with both drives attached, you should be able to run "sudo update-grub" and it should find the Windows installation. Then make Ubuntu the first bot [19:46] boot* [19:47] leftyfb: Cool thanks [19:47] leftyfb +1 and see the grub manual [19:47] !grub [19:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [19:47] THanks [19:47] that's done [19:47] let me have a go [19:47] :D [20:21] i'm trying to do a search in google and using chrome and pressing enter closes the browser. any way to fix this. i've asked in chrome but no one anwers any questions [20:22] Greenfrog: try running chrome from the command line, look through the messages that are logged around the time you hit enter [20:23] ok, so at the command line i type chrome? [20:23] never used it that way [20:23] if you're running chrome, yeah [20:23] ok thanks [20:23] I've never tried chrome myself, always chromium-browser [20:23] reinstall chrome/ remove the ~/.config/google-chrome and ~/.cache/google-chrome folders and restart chrome [20:24] ok i'll try that thanks [20:24] oerheks: yikes that sounds like trouble, what will that do to eg saved passwords, cookies, etc? [20:24] i have no saved passwords so its ok [20:25] sarnold, those will be destroyed.. login in google and you get them back [20:25] no refund on cookies [20:26] here is what it said: Command 'chrome' not found, did you mean: [20:26] [20:26] command 'chroma' from deb chroma (0.7.1-1) [20:26] [20:26] :~( coookies!
