[01:15] <lapion>  Linux/ubuntu has been getting a lot of problems with buffer/swap bloat;I have a system with 16GB of ram and 32GB of swap ( in csase of future ram upgrades and/or unexpected ram leaks ) and the system becomes unresponsive and even the mouse starts to respond like stirring a spoon through honey, and even the keyboard becomes unresponsive while top shows there is enough "available" memory hoiwever it's all used by "buffers/cache" and much
[01:15] <lapion>  is swapped out, after turning swap off the system worked normally again.
[01:44] <cluelessperson> I keep getting this weird graphics glitch
[01:44] <cluelessperson> where the application seems to scroll up halfway
[01:58] <BlueEagle> !screenshot | cluelessperson
[01:58] <cluelessperson> it keeps disappearing before I can grab it. :P
[01:59] <BlueEagle> cluelessperson: Can you make a mock-up of what it looks like because I am not able to imagine what you mean by "scrolls up halfway"
[02:02] <cluelessperson> BlueEagle, it just occurred again and I managed to get it: https://i.imgur.com/sE6ZzUJ.png
[02:02] <cluelessperson> left bar is me redacting data
[02:02] <cluelessperson> unverified, but it seems to occur as a result of chrome running
[02:06] <BlueEagle> cluelessperson: I guess a picture of what it should look like wouldn't go amiss, but ti appears that the HexChat window is moved so the top of it is above your display and I assume is moved back down.
[02:06] <BlueEagle> cluelessperson: Do you have more than one screen and are they aligned with the same top row?
[02:07] <cluelessperson> BlueEagle, it's a single screen and I'm not modifying it at the time
[02:08] <cluelessperson> and yeah, typically hexchat is just maximized while I use it.
[02:14] <BlueEagle> It's not something stupid like the mouse cursor going to the bottom of the screen or a corner or some such that activates something?
[02:20] <cluelessperson> no.
[02:20] <cluelessperson> BlueEagle, however the mouse cursor is changing from arrow to a hand.
[02:20] <cluelessperson> so perhaps not graphics issue
[02:20] <cluelessperson> seems like input issue of some kind
[02:21] <moro> Hello
[02:23] <BlueEagle> cluelessperson: Are you holding a control key when this happens because Ubuntu allows you to move and resize windows with those.
[02:23] <BlueEagle> cluelessperson: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-windows-states.html.en
[02:24] <BlueEagle> cluelessperson: If you restore down (or un-maximize) the window is it then off screen as shown?
[02:50] <Norm> Can anyone help me understand how syslog messages go to both rsyslog and to journalctl? Does one hand off to the other?
[03:08] <BlueEagle> Norm: My understanding is that both syslogd and systemd listen for the same events and then write to their respective storages.
[03:08] <Norm> BlueEagle: that makes sense, just wanted to make sure one isn’t filtering events before they get to the other. Thanks!
[03:09] <BlueEagle> Norm: This is a good read to understand the difference: https://albertomolina.wordpress.com/2017/12/30/rsyslog-journal-or-both/
[03:09] <Norm> mmm thanks!
[03:45] <cluelessperson> BlueEagle, I don't use ctrl very often, but I'll try to look for that next time.
[03:59] <Zythyr> Is there a "Power Options" feature in Ubuntu similar to one found in Windows 10. In Win10I can customize various power options like "High perfomrance" and "Power saver" etc... I am looking for a similar feature in Ubuntu where I set my laptop to differ power modes
[04:00] <lotuspsychje> !info laptop-mode-tools | Zythyr
[04:01] <Bashing-om> !info tlp | Zythyr
[04:06] <Zythyr> lotuspsychje Bashing-om Thank you. Just a quick glisme of these it seems they are commandline based usage? is ther something that is more GUI freindly?
[04:10] <Bashing-om> Zythyr: Sorry - I run CLI - rarely do I pay attention to GUI apps :(
[04:10] <Zythyr> Thank u. I will look further to start learning. I considering switching from win10 to ubuntu so i was just exploring all the features right now
[04:11] <Bashing-om> Zythyr: One does not need to go cold turkey from Windows - there are options :)
[04:16] <Zythyr> hmm true
[04:59] <mpoletiek> Hi all, just got Ubuntu 20.04 up and running with a LAMP environment, but it seems like my .htaccess files aren't working properly. I'm trying to setup AuthType Basic \n AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd \n Require valid-user
[04:59] <mpoletiek> the .htpasswd exists and is chmod 644
[04:59] <mpoletiek> any ideas what to check next?
[05:01] <omega_doom> I am trying to establish ssh session from qemu to host but get "ssh: connect to host 162.48.120.31 port 22: Connection refused". How can i resove it?
[05:07] <deltab> mpoletiek: have you enabled .htaccess files?
[05:08] <mpoletiek> deltab: I assume so... are they disabled by default?
[05:08] <deltab> omega_doom: is that an ip address of the host?
[05:09] <mpoletiek> AccessFileName .htaccess       exists in apache2.conf
[05:09] <deltab> mpoletiek: maybe -- there is a small cost to checking for a file in each directory for every request, so it may be turned off by default
[05:10] <deltab> iirc there's an Options flag
[05:10] <omega_doom> deltab: yes, and i can ping it.
[05:11] <deltab> oh, AllowOverride
[05:12] <deltab> omega_doom: maybe a firewall blocks it
[05:12] <mpoletiek> AllowOverride All?
[05:13] <mpoletiek> that did it!
[05:13] <mpoletiek> weird lol
[05:13] <mpoletiek> Pro tip though, thanks
[05:13] <omega_doom> deltab: ufw? Status: inactive
[05:14] <deltab> omega_doom: can you ssh to that address from elsewhere?
[05:15] <Hash> 22:12 <Hash> When I click downloaded files in chrome, they don't open in the associated program in KDE. They used to in 18.04
[05:15] <Hash> 22:12 <Hash> In 20.04 it no longer works
[05:15] <Hash> 22:12 <Hash> How to fix this? Any ideas?
[05:15] <Hash> 22:13 <Hash> When I double click archive, I want it to open in ark, not anothe folder in dolphin
[05:15] <Hash> 22:13 <Hash> What all changed, this is very annoying
[05:15] <omega_doom> deltab: not sure about it.
[05:15] <Hash> Does anyone know anything about this?
[05:17] <Bashing-om> Hash: Quieted for flood - Do not use a return for puncuation; gather your thoughts for one expression.
[05:18] <Hash> Huh?
[05:19] <deltab> omega_doom: does  ss -tnlp  show sshd listening on that port?
[05:25] <Hash> Something weird happened. When I login with the KDE plasma session it doesn't start plasma, but blank background
[05:25] <Hash> I can manually run plasmashell but i don't think it's fully running, that's maybe the problem
[05:25] <Hash> How can I reset kde plasma packages
[05:26] <omega_doom> deltab: when i do "ss -tnlp show sshd". At first it thinks for a while and then "Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "show"."
[05:27] <deltab> ss -tnlp
[05:28] <omega_doom> LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:*
[05:31] <deltab> I don't know then, sorry
[05:33] <omega_doom> deltab: Thank you anyway. It is really weird.
[05:34] <Hash> I had xmonad launched in .xsessionrc.
[05:34] <Hash> https://wiki.debian.org/Xsession cleared it up
[05:34] <Hash> Removed exec xmonad from .xsessionrc and now kde full desktop starts, everything is normal again!
[05:34] <Hash> ok bye
[05:35] <Hash> Didn't realize there was a load order preference in files
[07:12] <omega_doom> Is it possible to disable password authentication in ssh? I have a public key but i am also asked for a user password.
[07:13] <omega_doom> I want to connect to qemu via ssh but password is also asked. I do not know the password.
[07:28] <snowkidimd> ls > file_list.txt
[07:29] <omega_doom> why is it so hard to have ssh session with qemu?
[07:29] <snowkidimd> if this is an hour long process is it written to at the very end of the process or all along they way?
[07:30] <omega_doom> i reset password in qemu but still cannot login into it via ssh.
[07:30] <snowkidimd> never mind, the output is written as the program executes
[08:52] <stevelitt> EriC^^, adding "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" didn't get the computer to boot into CLI, neither did several other solutions suggested on the Internet. I'll try again later. If worst comes to worst, I can rename the display manager executable's filename. That's what I did with Ubuntu back in 2012, and it worked quite nicely. Thanks.
[09:57] <EriC^^> stevelitt: are you running sudo update-grub ?
[10:44] <PeGaSuS> hello guys. is there any channel where I can get some help with ufw or I can ask here?
[11:04] <lotuspsychje> PeGaSuS: #netfilter or ##networking for firewall/networking issues or here if its ubuntu related
[11:04] <PeGaSuS> lotuspsychje: tks :)
[11:31] <lusrx> i have no network connection with intel i225-v on ubuntu 20.04. is the problem with ubuntu? igc driver? or my intel network firmware?
[11:32] <lusrx> i found this 6 months old discussion on the topic: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1244745/ubuntu-20-04-intel-network-connectivity-issue-bug-in-igc
[11:34] <lusrx> some users suggest (original poster) the problem is with intel firmware (would not be the first time...) and other suggest it's because of running too old linux kernel... i don't know what to think or what to try (if anything), i just want my new board to work with ubuntu 20.04 (not sure where to turn for help... maybe asus who made it)
[11:35] <tomreyn> lusrx: can you post    journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:53] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:55] <kab0m> Hi everyone. My sister accientally deleted th package wireless-regdb and panically shutdown her laptop with ubuntu while processing. after that the laptop stays black after the grub prompt. i booted via liveusb and did a "apt dist-upgrade". Now i can only boot via rescue mode and acpi=off, no audio device is found, no network device is found and the touchpad does not work...how can i fix this machine? Thanks in advance
[11:56] <moro> Hello
[11:56] <frad> i want to download a picture, but this picture is the sum of 4 pictures (hope that makes sense). these 4 images are put together, like they are an individual picture. Computer is small, which means if I reduce zoom, the image gets ridiculously small. With screenshot I cannot get the whole image. How could I donwload the whole picture?
[11:57] <moro> @frad could you try Google image search?
[11:57] <moro> You could right click on a picture and search it with google
[11:58] <moro> Maybe you will find another picture like this one and it should be easier to capture it
[12:00] <moro> However, i'm searching someone to talk about package in a ubuntu distribution, if someone could answer me i have to delete package with the command "sudo apt remove package-name" but I have problem with package wich I forgot the name
[12:09] <moro> Someone could help me please guys?
[12:12] <tomreyn> what's "a ubuntu distribution"?
[12:13] <moro> Maybe i was wwrong
[12:13] <moro> I have a linux distributin called ubuntu
[12:13] <moro> better?
[12:14] <moro> I have ubuntu :-)
[12:14] <moro> Just try to know how to delete package with this following command "sudo apt remove package-name"
[12:15] <moro> I forget a few package names and I'm trying to delete if off my computer
[12:17] <tomreyn> apt search "some functionality"     may help you identify the package.
[12:18] <tomreyn> alternatively, if you can describe the package you're trying to identify here, maybe someone can suggest which package you're referring to.
[12:21] <lusrx> tomreyn: how do i do that from a computer where the network connection is not working?
[12:23] <tomreyn> lusrx: you don't. there's "apropos", which may work for this. also https://packages.ubuntu.com
[12:24] <moro> @tomreyn thanks for you help, i will try your command i'll tell you if it's working :-)
[12:26] <lusrx> tomreyn: what is apropos? do i search for it on that site? i found nothing
[12:27] <tomreyn> $ dpkg -S $(which apropos)
[12:27] <tomreyn> man-db: /usr/bin/apropos
[12:28] <tomreyn> man-db is the package containing / providing manual pages for many commands
[12:28] <tomreyn> !man
[12:28] <tomreyn> it is not installed by default, though.
[12:32] <lusrx> ok. i'm not sure how this can help me, but i save the output of journalctl -b to my usb. i will upload it now.
[12:34] <tomreyn> right now you don't know what exactly is not working. inspecting system logs can be a good way to get a better understanding of what's not working properly.
[12:35] <tomreyn> and once you know this, it may become feasible to target this particular problem and fix it.
[12:35] <lusrx> https://dpaste.org/dmt3/slim
[12:36] <tomreyn> hmm this is hardly readable with those extra line breaks.
[12:36] <tomreyn> lusrx: are you the same person as moro?
[12:37] <tomreyn> this system is running a kernel image from july, not exactly current.
[12:40] <lusrx> tomreyn: no. i don't know who that is. sorry about the line breaks, here's a new link: https://dpaste.org/yyMP
[12:41] <tomreyn> apparently those line breaks are just introduced by the dpaste pastebin. i was able to make the log readable by copying the content off this html page into a file and reading this with a local file viewer.
[12:41] <tomreyn> this second link also works, thanks
[12:43] <lusrx> i have updated the system bios to version 1401 (i think it was) from 3 dec 2020, it's the latest. it did not help. the weird thing is that the link/act lights on the ethernet port blink or light up (i don't recall exactly) during boot. but then right before i sign in they go dead, and when signed in i have no network.
[12:46] <lusrx> so you suggest i update the kernel to a later version? i'm not sure how to do that without network connection.
[12:48] <lusrx> it's worth noting that this intel network chip is also not working in latest windows 10 (20h2), not until i do the leg work and install the driver from asus/intel (available only for windows).
[12:51] <tomreyn> lines 774 and 794 and following is where the intel igc driver loads and reports on its initialization
[12:52] <tomreyn> yes you should generally install kernel updates when they become available. is this a fresh ubuntu 20,04 installation, lusrx? if so, whats the name of the installer ISO image file you used?
[12:52] <tomreyn> lusrx: ^
[12:53] <tomreyn> enp3s0 is the name of the network device after initialization.    nmcli d    should show it.
[12:54] <tomreyn> it seems like ti was just not configured with a default network manager profile.
[13:48] <lusrx> tomreyn: name of image: ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso and yes it's a new install
[13:50] <lusrx> yes i can see it with that command. the state of enp3s0 is "unavailable"
[14:10] <arunkumar413> Hi All
[14:11] <arunkumar413> online speed test shows the speed as 20Mbps
[14:11] <arunkumar413> but the actual download file speed is about 100KBps
[14:11] <arunkumar413> Any idea on how to fix this?
[14:14] <Maik> arunkumar413: probably depends on where you download it from and not your intrenet connection
[14:15] <arunkumar413> Maik, I tried different files from different sites. Same issue
[14:18] <Maik> arunkumar413: from where you're downloading the files and what files?
[14:19] <_Trullo> arunkumar413, try this file: http://ftp.sunet.se/mirror/alpinelinux.org/latest-stable/main/x86_64/mesa-dbg-20.0.7-r0.apk
[14:21] <arunkumar413> _Trullo, I was trying to download freedownload manager
[14:22] <arunkumar413> the link you share is working fine getting about 1Mbps speed
[14:23] <Maik> arunkumar413: i download the freedownload manager deb with a second
[14:24] <Maik> with/within
[14:46] <DarkTrick> I encounter the problem of a not found virtualenvwrapper as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34772925/bash-usr-bin-virtualenvwrapper-sh-no-such-file-or-directory any ideas?
[14:47] <DarkTrick> The answers couldn't solve my problem. In my case the file "/usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh" can't be found
[14:54] <leftyfb> DarkTrick: The file /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh can be found in the virtualenvwrapper package
[14:55] <frad> what app can I use to bind 4 pieces of a picture together?
[14:56] <ikonia> imagemagik ?
[14:56] <leftyfb> also gimp
[14:56] <DarkTrick> leftyfb, installing the package solved the problem, but... how would I get rid of the message if I didn't want virtualenvwrapper on my system?
[14:56] <leftyfb> DarkTrick: don't run applications that depend on it
[14:57] <DarkTrick> leftyfb, it shows up when I open my termina
[14:57] <DarkTrick> l
[14:58] <leftyfb> DarkTrick: then there is something on your system that is depending on it
[14:58] <leftyfb> DarkTrick: or dev workspace
[15:00] <DarkTrick> leftyfb, running that shell script must be called somewhere. I would simple comment it out(?) But I can't find where it's called
[15:08] <gst568923> Hi, I have a series of crash files in the path "/var/crash", for each crash report there are three files with extension: "*.crash" (size > 0), "*.upload" (size = 0 ) and "*.uploaded" (size > 0). Every time I turn on the PC I get the apport warning to resend the bug report. How is it possible?
[15:21] <MarkB2> I need a hint.  Have ubuntu 18.04 installed and am trying to read an old 170M HD using a PATA/USB interface.  The drive does not report its geometry and Ubuntu "thinks" it's 2T capacity.
[15:22] <MarkB2> Is there a way to set the cylinder/heads/sectors_per_track so that I can get data off the thing (it's dated around 2010).
[15:22] <MarkB2> Probably Windows 98SE or maybe WinXP .
[15:37] <lotuspsychje> mark105: does photorec or gparted recognize the drive?
[16:00] <Kali_Yuga> Hello this is not a direct question related to linux but I want to know, how can I make a bootable USB stick with windows in ubuntu?
[16:01] <Kali_Yuga> can I use just dd with windows iso? or do I have to do something different?
[16:03] <jeremy31> Kali_Yuga: woeusb should work for Win ISO
[16:04] <Kali_Yuga> jeremy31: So I cannot just use dd ?
[16:04] <Maik> no
[16:05] <jeremy31> I think the Ubuntu USB writer uses dd and that doesn't work with the Win ISO
[16:09] <Kali_Yuga> I can't get woeusb because that stupid repo doesn't work there must be another way without using third party software please
[16:12] <jeremy31> Kali_Yuga: see https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB
[16:13] <Kali_Yuga> jeremy31: there must be a different way without using this
[16:13] <Maik> no there isn't
[16:14] <Maik> Kali_Yuga: ^
[16:14] <Kali_Yuga> Maik: the deb doesn't install because of dependency issues and the repo is also broken
[16:14] <Maik> unless you know someone witha Windows 10 pc to create a USB stick for you
[16:15] <Maik> Kali_Yuga: maybe there's a snap version?
[16:15] <jeremy31> Kali_Yuga: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/iso2usb/diy/windows-installer-for-big-files
[16:16] <Maik> Kali_Yuga: sudo snap install woe-usb
[16:18] <Maik> Kali_Yuga: https://itsfoss.com/bootable-windows-usb-linux/
[16:24] <oerheks> on windows itself, just drag and drop the windows folders, 5 minutes ... on linux with WOEusb takes an hour
[16:24] <oerheks> lolz
[16:25] <Kali_Yuga> oerheks: I don't have windows but need to create a bootable windows usb stick. WoeUSB does not work. Neither the repo or the deb because of dependency issues...
[16:26] <Kali_Yuga> oerheks: So I'm kinda stuck
[16:27] <jeremy31> Kali_Yuga: maybe https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/563437/102332
[16:27] <oerheks> woeusb should work fine, i used it recently.
[16:28] <Maik> Kali_Yuga: do you read what others posted? i suggested to install the snap version and gave a link to another solution
[17:17] <lotuspsychje> got a pretty weird issue on 20.04.1 from an ltsupgrade where kernel 5.4 -58 -56 -54 dont like networking and both wifi and eth not working, on kernel 5.4 -53 and -42 they work fine https://dpaste.com/GERVBMDCF
[17:19] <leftyfb> lotuspsychje: missing the -modules package?
[17:20] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: there was something weird with 54, but I didn't have issues with 58
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> leftyfb: not sure, apt doesnt spit out errors for sure
[17:21] <leftyfb> lotuspsychje: apt-cache policy linux-modules-5.4.0-58-generic
[17:22] <jeremy31> Wifi drivers should be in linux-modules-extra
[17:22] <leftyfb> jeremy31: I think it depends on the driver
[17:23] <leftyfb> but yeah, won't hurt to check that package as well
[17:23] <jeremy31> leftyfb: I downloaded the source code for modules-extra and I think even ethernet was in the code
[17:23] <leftyfb> jeremy31: right, some drivers, not all
[17:23] <leftyfb> jeremy31: on the few servers I've had to deal with, I only needed the -modules
[17:24] <lotuspsychje> leftyfb: Geïnstalleerd: 5.4.0-58.64 (installed)
[17:25] <leftyfb> ok, how about -extra?
[17:25] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: Intel wifi, realtek ethernet?
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> aha cant find package
[17:26] <jeremy31> linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-58-generic
[17:27] <lotuspsychje> oh, also installed
[17:28] <lotuspsychje> check those weird kworker errors in dmesg
[17:33] <Maik> lotuspsychje: no issues here either
[17:33] <lotuspsychje> first i was thinking its that mediatek dongle i had bugs on this same machine on 18.04 but eth not working neither on latest kernels neither
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> bug #1906770 is a bit similar
[17:34] <BlueShark> Hi. I'm trying to install AMD GPU driver for Ubuntu 20.04 and getting an error "amdgpu-dkms is not configured yet.". I've been trying for 4 hours without any luck, would be great if someone could assist. I've included the output of lshw, lsb_release, uname and the exact error message I'm getting when I attempt to install in this paste - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rTNTn3t8kV/
[17:34] <jayjo> what's the best way to get a recursive list of a packages dependencies? I'm trying to copy a list of debs to an offline storage
[17:35] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: MT7601U?
[17:36] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: driver=mt76x0u driverversion=5.4.0-53-generic
[17:36] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: anything in>  dmesg | grep mt76
[17:37] <lotuspsychje> lets c
[17:38] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: https://dpaste.com/6TDSE6TLZ
[17:38] <lotuspsychje> but thats on the working kernel -53
[17:38] <tomreyn> BlueShark: do oyu actually require amdgpu-pro?
[17:39] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: nothing out of the ordinary, I figured it might be a device that crashed with a vendor reset command
[17:39] <BlueShark> tomreyn: no, I actually just want to have the display back to normal resolution. Now it's 1024x768.
[17:40] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: https://dpaste.com/GERVBMDCF is dmesg where networking doesnt work
[17:41] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: i also tested same dongle on my other laptop with -58 there it works
[17:41] <tomreyn> BlueShark: that's probably the vesa fallback. i'd start by undoing what you did to get amdgpu-pro. you may want / need a newer kernel then, buzt just maybe. linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge provides that
[17:42] <tomreyn> BlueSharkthe *-pro* overlay is quite a mess, i wouldn't recommend it, and we don't support it here.
[17:42] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: check it out at about line 1043 issues with cfg80211 and the mt76x02 and mac80211
[17:42] <Kali_Yuga> Okay I install woe-usb for snapd but I don't know how to run it. no clue about snaps... how do I run a snap after I installed it?
[17:43] <BlueShark> tomreyn: okay, what's your recommendation for getting back to normal resolution?
[17:43] <Kali_Yuga> with*
[17:43] <tomreyn> BlueShark: "i'd start by undoing what you did to get amdgpu-pro"
[17:43] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: maybe newest kernels doesnt like those both older chipsets
[17:44] <tomreyn> BlueShark: the open source amdgpu driver that scomes with ubuntu out of the box should work just fine. if the hardware is too new, a newer kernel may already fix that.
[17:45] <BlueShark> tomreyn: I simply downloaded the driver from the amd website, extracted it and ran amdgpu-uninstall and then `sudo ./amdgpu-install`
[17:45] <Maik> Kali_Yuga: seriously? Like you run any app selected from the menu
[17:45] <Kali_Yuga> https://www1.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=12025115
[17:45] <tomreyn> BlueShark: then follow their instructions to get back to where you were before you did this.
[17:46] <BlueShark> tomreyn: To undo it, I did `amdgpu-uninstall`, `sudo apt purge amdgpu-dkms`, and rebooted. Nothing changed.
[17:46] <tomreyn> did you reboot afterwards?
[17:47] <BlueShark> Yes, I rebooted
[17:47] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: This was in the kernel changelog,  mt76: add missing locking around ampdu action
[17:48] <tomreyn> BlueShark: is xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu installed?
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: i suspect something more then only mt76 as eth also dont work
[17:49] <BlueShark> tomreyn: It wasn't, I installed it now
[17:50] <tomreyn> so you'll probably get a higher resolution after X restart
[17:51] <tomreyn> unless there are yet more changes the installer did you need to undo
[17:51] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller in this machine
[17:52] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: I saw a couple changes for the r8169 module
[17:52] <lotuspsychje> kk
[17:53] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: gonna dig some more, talk to the kernel guys tomorrow, file a bug if needed, tnx!
[17:54] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: over 1400 lines in the changelog since the 54 kernel
[18:31] <yassine> hi guys anyone know if there is a qemu-xen package for bionic beaver 18.04 ?
[18:38] <BlueShark> tomreyn: after reboot, it's stuck at /dev/sda5: clean... X blocks....
[18:38] <BlueShark> Not able to even login now
[18:38] <BlueShark> Went to recovery and attempted a fsck, didn't help
[18:39] <BlueShark> Installed Ubuntu-desktop with --install-recommends, that didn't help either.
[18:50] <tieinv> yassine try apt-cache search <package name>
[18:51] <Kali_Yuga> Okay WoeUSB didn't do it for me, somebody else recommended a program called Ventoy to me, I used that instead and worked great for a windows usb...
[18:51] <yassine> tieinv: thanks there is none
[18:52] <yassine> its a bit confusing everything related to xen on ubuntu is different
[19:00] <mulletman> quick crontab question, what is the difference between the day of the month and day of the week? That is, if I specify the day of the month, do i put a 0 for day of the week to make sure they dont conflict?
[19:02] <ixil> is there a way to a package that provides one package that conflicts with the one you actually want installed?
[19:03] <ixil> e.g. On focal I have a python3-foo that conflicts with python-foo, I made an equivs packages that provides python-foo but depends on python3-foo
[19:04] <ixil> but installing with dpkg --force-
[19:04] <ixil> but installing with dpkg --force-conflicts means apt breaks (which breaks some other scripts beyond my control))
[19:04] <ixil> is there anyway to get around this?
[19:26] <BlueEagle> mulletman: I think that is explained in the man page for crontab.
[19:27] <geosmile> I just ran a do-release upgrade on a 16.04 machine - with X on. And in the middle of the upgrade, the terminal fonts became unreadable.
[19:27] <geosmile> I guess I cant do anything about it anymore?
[19:31] <compdoc> geosmile, are you connected remotely?
[19:31] <BlueEagle> mulletman: The day of a command's execution can be specified by two fields - day of month, and day of week. If both fields are restricted (ie, aren't *), the command will be run when either field matches the current time.
[19:33] <geosmile> compdoc, yes, I am
[19:34] <geosmile> compdoc, I mean - the do-release-upgrade - I ran from the machine terminal
[19:34] <geosmile> I can connect remotely and yes I am connected. When I ssh to the machine, I see it already shows 18.04
[19:34] <compdoc> how do the fonts on the console look?
[19:34] <geosmile> rectangles
[19:34] <geosmile> everything is a rectangle
[19:35] <BlueShark> I have a quad HD monitor, but xrandr  shows "Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768" - How can I set the proper resolution?
[19:35] <compdoc> was it using a different language?
[19:35] <geosmile> compdoc, no - do-release-upgraded did something
[19:36] <geosmile> compdoc, https://askubuntu.com/questions/843533/text-has-turned-to-boxes-in-ubuntu-16-04
[19:36] <geosmile> the problem is that after it runs things it might ask me yes/no questions about configurations which I can not answer anymore
[19:36] <geosmile> if i reboot, I do hope the machine does not get toasted
[19:37] <compdoc> did you set permissions as mentioned in that page?
[19:37] <geosmile> compdoc, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1416265 - this is similar to what my characters look like
[19:37] <geosmile> compdoc, I've not - not yet
[19:38] <compdoc> check the perms now, and compare to what they suggest
[19:39] <compdoc> you can just find the fonts without changing by doing:  find /usr/share/fonts -iname '*.ttf' -type f
[19:40] <compdoc> but start at root by doing cd /
[19:42] <geosmile> I just ran those commands - will have to check if the fonts got fixed
[19:42] <geosmile> am away from my computer - am currently remote
[19:43] <geosmile> Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS - lsb_release -a is already showing that
[19:44] <compdoc> I did that, but now upgraded to 20.04
[19:49] <Zythyr> Hi I am kinda in the process of considering switching from Win10 to Ubuntu for daily use but I have some quetions before I start switching over. I always read that non-LTS receive updates more freqently (6 months). But what does it mean by receives updates? Is it the OS features? Is it the apps that come pre-installed? Is it custom applications I installed? Also like Win10, does ubuntu
[19:49] <Zythyr> automatically do updates in the background every few days or do I always have to manually go to termainal and do "sudo apt updadte" then "sudo apt upgrade"?
[19:51] <zykotick9> yassine: qemu-xen <- doesn't make a lot of sense, qemu is a hypervisor and xen is a hypervisor - they do the same thing.  Could it be libvirt and/or virt-manager you are looking for?  I'm not sure if libvirt/v-m request anything specific for xen, put i'm pretty sure it supports it.  I've never played with xen myself, got turned off quickly when I looked into it.
[19:51] <EriC^^> Zythyr: it usually updates every few days or so, but it pops a window up and asks to confirm to install, you can set it to update however often
[19:53] <yassine> zykotick9: trying to create  domU but xen claims the following: libxl: info: libxl_create.c:102:libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault: qemu-xen is unavailable, using qemu-xen-traditional instead: No such file or directory
[19:54] <zykotick9> yassine: ya, domU <- that's xen stuff I just don't grok (understand).  best of luck.
[19:57] <Zythyr> EriC^^ Thank you. But in regards to the what is meant by LTS vs. non-LTS, what does it mean to "receive updates"? Like are tehse updates to OS features or it also includes updates to other applications
[19:57] <yassine> zykotick9: thanks anyway!
[19:59] <zykotick9> Zythyr: "updates/support" could be translated into "security support" (aka suggested to actually use).  I'd describe LTS as meaning "reinstall much less often, but have older software by the end".
[20:00] <matsaman> LTS is like a public license to be lazy and crap at updating
[20:01] <EriC^^> Zythyr: i think it meant that non lts are released every 6 months
[20:01] <zykotick9> ^ not really!  You still need to get security updates, you just won't have the newest version of program X.
[20:01] <EriC^^> Zythyr: i use an lts release and i get package updates every few days, so it cant be packages get updated every 6months
[20:18] <Zythyr> EriC^^ zykotick9 Thank you. So by package updates, does that mean regular programs that don't come preisntalled?
[20:21] <EriC^^> Zythyr: yup
[20:38] <Zythyr> So aside from receiving more frequent "secureity" updates, what is actual difference between LTS and non-LTS? Does non-LTS have "new and more OS features" than LTS?
[20:39] <oerheks> LTS uses the stable branch.
[20:39] <oerheks> and the rest already mentioned.
[20:39] <oerheks> and LTS would not get new features, just big fixes .. unless there is a reason to file a !SRU
[20:40] <oerheks> !sru
[20:43] <Deano59> !pastebinit
[20:49] <pillager86> I need help, every time I try to sudo apt install something it keeps saying "Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend."
[20:50] <Zythyr> oerheks But just to confirm these features are related to the OS features and NOT other 3rd party applications such as VLC, GIMP, Inkscape, etc...?
[20:52] <jeremy31> pillager86: Do you have another update program or software installer open?
[20:52] <pillager86> jeremy31, i am not sure. i tried to kill process 1461 that is holding it
[20:53] <pillager86> "Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 1461 (unattended-upgr)" i probably shouldn't kill it
[20:53] <pillager86> I just wish I could check the progress of it, assuming it's installing update behind the scenes.
[20:54] <pillager86> Livepatch experienced an error it says in the livepatch status bar
[20:54] <pillager86> I'm gonna try to restart, brb
[20:56] <pillager86> nevermind it started working somehow
[21:02] <M4jnour> hi there some one using pylxd?
[21:08] <zykotick9> Zythyr: the difference between LTS and non-LTS applies to the entire "repo" so that includes anything that you would "apt install"...  LTS will have older versions of vlc/gimp/inkscape then the non-LTS version (unless LTS is also the current release).
[21:10] <oerheks> vlc/gimp snaps bridges these differences.
[21:39] <Zythyr> zykotick9 Thank u for the clearification. I think i need to understand a little bit more on how repos work. Will look into it further
[21:39] <Zythyr> zykotick9 EriC^^ oerheks Thanks for the help
[21:39] <rory> I have 2 files, urls.txt and visited.txt, I want to make a new file not_visited.txt that contains all the lines from url.txt that are not in visited.txt, can I do this with standard tool like grep?
[21:40] <EriC^^> Zythyr: no problem
[21:41] <EriC^^> rory: you can do it with comm
[21:41] <rory> nice, thanks EriC^^ this is a new command to me, looks perfect, reading man now
[21:42] <EriC^^> rory: no problem
[21:47] <geosmile> compdoc, did you have to manually move /etc/apt/sources to 20.04?
[21:47] <geosmile> Seems like mine are not updated automatically
[21:48] <rory> "comm -23 <(sort urls.txt) <(sort visited.txt) > not_visited.txt" - thanks again
[21:48] <ForeverNoob[m]> this is 20.04 server, is a segfault during updated a bad deal? https://paste.debian.net/1176782/
[21:49] <geosmile> how can i replace all xenial referenecs in /etc/apt to bionic?
[21:49] <ForeverNoob[m]> exit status says 0 though
[21:49] <jeremy31> geosmile: sed will do it
[21:50] <jeremy31> or use a text editor find/replace all
[21:50] <jpds> ForeverNoob[m]: that's just the exit status of apt, not anything else within it
[21:50] <jpds> ForeverNoob[m]: Check the disks and memory
[21:51] <ForeverNoob[m]> jpds: nothing seems out of the ordinary: https://paste.debian.net/1176784/ though it could be memory since it's a VM
[21:52] <geosmile> jeremy31, is that safe to do automatically?
[21:52] <jeremy31> geosmile: probably not as it should have happened as part of the upgrade
[23:57] <Blade-Runner> hey, i was instructed last time to fix grub2 that booted win first instead of  ubuntu first to change it by entering a terminal command, what happened is now there is no win boot in grub, can someone help me change this?
[23:59] <Bashing-om> Blade-Runner: What results with terminal command ' sudo update-grub ' ?
