[01:44] I keep getting this weird graphics glitch [01:44] where the application seems to scroll up halfway === xet7_ is now known as xet7 [01:58] !screenshot | cluelessperson [01:58] cluelessperson: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. [01:58] it keeps disappearing before I can grab it. :P [01:59] 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] BlueEagle, it just occurred again and I managed to get it: https://i.imgur.com/sE6ZzUJ.png [02:02] left bar is me redacting data [02:02] unverified, but it seems to occur as a result of chrome running [02:06] 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] cluelessperson: Do you have more than one screen and are they aligned with the same top row? [02:07] BlueEagle, it's a single screen and I'm not modifying it at the time [02:08] and yeah, typically hexchat is just maximized while I use it. [02:14] 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] no. [02:20] BlueEagle, however the mouse cursor is changing from arrow to a hand. [02:20] so perhaps not graphics issue [02:20] seems like input issue of some kind [02:21] Hello [02:23] cluelessperson: Are you holding a control key when this happens because Ubuntu allows you to move and resize windows with those. [02:23] cluelessperson: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-windows-states.html.en [02:24] cluelessperson: If you restore down (or un-maximize) the window is it then off screen as shown? === zbenjamin is now known as Guest1996 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:50] Can anyone help me understand how syslog messages go to both rsyslog and to journalctl? Does one hand off to the other? [03:08] Norm: My understanding is that both syslogd and systemd listen for the same events and then write to their respective storages. [03:08] BlueEagle: that makes sense, just wanted to make sure one isn’t filtering events before they get to the other. Thanks! [03:09] Norm: This is a good read to understand the difference: https://albertomolina.wordpress.com/2017/12/30/rsyslog-journal-or-both/ [03:09] mmm thanks! === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [03:45] BlueEagle, I don't use ctrl very often, but I'll try to look for that next time. [03:59] 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...

Just a quick glisme of these it seems they are commandline based usage? is ther something that is more GUI freindly? [04:10] Zythyr: Sorry - I run CLI - rarely do I pay attention to GUI apps :( [04:10] 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] Zythyr: One does not need to go cold turkey from Windows - there are options :) [04:16] hmm true [04:59] 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] the .htpasswd exists and is chmod 644 [04:59] any ideas what to check next? [05:01] 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] mpoletiek: have you enabled .htaccess files? [05:08] deltab: I assume so... are they disabled by default? [05:08] omega_doom: is that an ip address of the host? [05:09] AccessFileName .htaccess exists in apache2.conf [05:09] 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] iirc there's an Options flag [05:10] deltab: yes, and i can ping it. [05:11] oh, AllowOverride [05:12] omega_doom: maybe a firewall blocks it [05:12] AllowOverride All? [05:13] that did it! [05:13] weird lol [05:13] Pro tip though, thanks [05:13] deltab: ufw? Status: inactive [05:14] omega_doom: can you ssh to that address from elsewhere? [05:15] 22:12 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] 22:12 In 20.04 it no longer works [05:15] 22:12 How to fix this? Any ideas? [05:15] 22:13 When I double click archive, I want it to open in ark, not anothe folder in dolphin [05:15] 22:13 What all changed, this is very annoying [05:15] deltab: not sure about it. [05:15] Does anyone know anything about this? [05:17] Hash: Quieted for flood - Do not use a return for puncuation; gather your thoughts for one expression. [05:18] Huh? [05:19] omega_doom: does ss -tnlp show sshd listening on that port? [05:25] Something weird happened. When I login with the KDE plasma session it doesn't start plasma, but blank background [05:25] I can manually run plasmashell but i don't think it's fully running, that's maybe the problem === denningsrogue4 is now known as denningsrogue [05:25] How can I reset kde plasma packages [05:26] 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] ss -tnlp [05:28] LISTEN 0 128 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* [05:31] I don't know then, sorry [05:33] deltab: Thank you anyway. It is really weird. [05:34] I had xmonad launched in .xsessionrc. [05:34] https://wiki.debian.org/Xsession cleared it up [05:34] Removed exec xmonad from .xsessionrc and now kde full desktop starts, everything is normal again! [05:34] ok bye [05:35] Didn't realize there was a load order preference in files [07:12] 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] I want to connect to qemu via ssh but password is also asked. I do not know the password. [07:28] ls > file_list.txt [07:29] why is it so hard to have ssh session with qemu? [07:29] 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] i reset password in qemu but still cannot login into it via ssh. [07:30] never mind, the output is written as the program executes [08:52] 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. === akem__ is now known as Chew === Chew is now known as Cheww [09:57] stevelitt: are you running sudo update-grub ? === w0rstpr0grammer is now known as w0rstpr0grammer_ [10:44] hello guys. is there any channel where I can get some help with ufw or I can ask here? [11:04] PeGaSuS: #netfilter or ##networking for firewall/networking issues or here if its ubuntu related [11:04] lotuspsychje: tks :) [11:31] 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] 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] 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] lusrx: can you post journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [11:53] Hi folks [11:55] 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] Hello [11:56] 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] @frad could you try Google image search? [11:57] You could right click on a picture and search it with google [11:58] Maybe you will find another picture like this one and it should be easier to capture it [12:00] 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] Someone could help me please guys? [12:12] what's "a ubuntu distribution"? [12:13] Maybe i was wwrong [12:13] I have a linux distributin called ubuntu [12:13] better? [12:14] I have ubuntu :-) [12:14] Just try to know how to delete package with this following command "sudo apt remove package-name" [12:15] I forget a few package names and I'm trying to delete if off my computer [12:17] apt search "some functionality" may help you identify the package. [12:18] 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] tomreyn: how do i do that from a computer where the network connection is not working? [12:23] lusrx: you don't. there's "apropos", which may work for this. also https://packages.ubuntu.com [12:24] @tomreyn thanks for you help, i will try your command i'll tell you if it's working :-) [12:26] tomreyn: what is apropos? do i search for it on that site? i found nothing [12:27] $ dpkg -S $(which apropos) [12:27] man-db: /usr/bin/apropos [12:28] man-db is the package containing / providing manual pages for many commands [12:28] !man [12:28] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [12:28] it is not installed by default, though. [12:32] 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] 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] and once you know this, it may become feasible to target this particular problem and fix it. [12:35] https://dpaste.org/dmt3/slim [12:36] hmm this is hardly readable with those extra line breaks. [12:36] lusrx: are you the same person as moro? [12:37] this system is running a kernel image from july, not exactly current. [12:40] 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] 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] this second link also works, thanks [12:43] 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] so you suggest i update the kernel to a later version? i'm not sure how to do that without network connection. [12:48] 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] lines 774 and 794 and following is where the intel igc driver loads and reports on its initialization [12:52] 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] lusrx: ^ [12:53] enp3s0 is the name of the network device after initialization. nmcli d should show it. [12:54] it seems like ti was just not configured with a default network manager profile. === KingPin1 is now known as KingPin === Randy_ is now known as Randy [13:48] tomreyn: name of image: ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso and yes it's a new install [13:50] yes i can see it with that command. the state of enp3s0 is "unavailable" [14:10] Hi All [14:11] online speed test shows the speed as 20Mbps [14:11] but the actual download file speed is about 100KBps [14:11] Any idea on how to fix this? [14:14] arunkumar413: probably depends on where you download it from and not your intrenet connection [14:15] Maik, I tried different files from different sites. Same issue [14:18] 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] _Trullo, I was trying to download freedownload manager [14:22] the link you share is working fine getting about 1Mbps speed [14:23] arunkumar413: i download the freedownload manager deb with a second [14:24] with/within [14:46] 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] The answers couldn't solve my problem. In my case the file "/usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh" can't be found [14:54] DarkTrick: The file /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh can be found in the virtualenvwrapper package [14:55] what app can I use to bind 4 pieces of a picture together? [14:56] imagemagik ? [14:56] also gimp [14:56] 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] DarkTrick: don't run applications that depend on it [14:57] leftyfb, it shows up when I open my termina [14:57] l [14:58] DarkTrick: then there is something on your system that is depending on it [14:58] DarkTrick: or dev workspace [15:00] 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] 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] 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] 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] Probably Windows 98SE or maybe WinXP . [15:37] mark105: does photorec or gparted recognize the drive? [16:00] 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] can I use just dd with windows iso? or do I have to do something different? [16:03] Kali_Yuga: woeusb should work for Win ISO [16:04] jeremy31: So I cannot just use dd ? [16:04] no [16:05] I think the Ubuntu USB writer uses dd and that doesn't work with the Win ISO [16:09] 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] Kali_Yuga: see https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB [16:13] jeremy31: there must be a different way without using this [16:13] no there isn't [16:14] Kali_Yuga: ^ [16:14] Maik: the deb doesn't install because of dependency issues and the repo is also broken [16:14] unless you know someone witha Windows 10 pc to create a USB stick for you [16:15] Kali_Yuga: maybe there's a snap version? [16:15] Kali_Yuga: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/iso2usb/diy/windows-installer-for-big-files [16:16] Kali_Yuga: sudo snap install woe-usb [16:18] Kali_Yuga: https://itsfoss.com/bootable-windows-usb-linux/ [16:24] on windows itself, just drag and drop the windows folders, 5 minutes ... on linux with WOEusb takes an hour [16:24] lolz [16:25] 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...

[16:28] Kali_Yuga: do you read what others posted? i suggested to install the snap version and gave a link to another solution [17:17] 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] lotuspsychje: missing the -modules package? [17:20] lotuspsychje: there was something weird with 54, but I didn't have issues with 58 [17:20] leftyfb: not sure, apt doesnt spit out errors for sure [17:21] lotuspsychje: apt-cache policy linux-modules-5.4.0-58-generic [17:22] Wifi drivers should be in linux-modules-extra [17:22] jeremy31: I think it depends on the driver [17:23] but yeah, won't hurt to check that package as well [17:23] leftyfb: I downloaded the source code for modules-extra and I think even ethernet was in the code [17:23] jeremy31: right, some drivers, not all [17:23] jeremy31: on the few servers I've had to deal with, I only needed the -modules [17:24] leftyfb: Geïnstalleerd: 5.4.0-58.64 (installed) [17:25] ok, how about -extra?

[17:42] lotuspsychje: check it out at about line 1043 issues with cfg80211 and the mt76x02 and mac80211 [17:42] 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] tomreyn: okay, what's your recommendation for getting back to normal resolution? [17:43] with* [17:43] BlueShark: "i'd start by undoing what you did to get amdgpu-pro" [17:43] jeremy31: maybe newest kernels doesnt like those both older chipsets [17:44] 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] tomreyn: I simply downloaded the driver from the amd website, extracted it and ran amdgpu-uninstall and then `sudo ./amdgpu-install` [17:45] Kali_Yuga: seriously? Like you run any app selected from the menu [17:45] https://www1.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=12025115 [17:45] BlueShark: then follow their instructions to get back to where you were before you did this. [17:46] tomreyn: To undo it, I did `amdgpu-uninstall`, `sudo apt purge amdgpu-dkms`, and rebooted. Nothing changed. [17:46] did you reboot afterwards? [17:47] Yes, I rebooted [17:47] lotuspsychje: This was in the kernel changelog, mt76: add missing locking around ampdu action [17:48] BlueShark: is xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu installed? [17:48] jeremy31: i suspect something more then only mt76 as eth also dont work [17:49] tomreyn: It wasn't, I installed it now [17:50] so you'll probably get a higher resolution after X restart [17:51] unless there are yet more changes the installer did you need to undo [17:51] jeremy31: RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller in this machine [17:52] lotuspsychje: I saw a couple changes for the r8169 module [17:52] kk [17:53] jeremy31: gonna dig some more, talk to the kernel guys tomorrow, file a bug if needed, tnx!

[18:51] tieinv: thanks there is none [18:52] its a bit confusing everything related to xen on ubuntu is different [19:00] 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] is there a way to a package that provides one package that conflicts with the one you actually want installed? [19:03] 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] but installing with dpkg --force- [19:04] but installing with dpkg --force-conflicts means apt breaks (which breaks some other scripts beyond my control)) [19:04] is there anyway to get around this? [19:26] mulletman: I think that is explained in the man page for crontab. [19:27] 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] I guess I cant do anything about it anymore? [19:31] geosmile, are you connected remotely? [19:31] 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] compdoc, yes, I am [19:34] compdoc, I mean - the do-release-upgrade - I ran from the machine terminal [19:34] I can connect remotely and yes I am connected. When I ssh to the machine, I see it already shows 18.04 [19:34] how do the fonts on the console look? [19:34] rectangles [19:34] everything is a rectangle [19:35] 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] was it using a different language? [19:35] compdoc, no - do-release-upgraded did something [19:36] compdoc, https://askubuntu.com/questions/843533/text-has-turned-to-boxes-in-ubuntu-16-04 [19:36] 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] if i reboot, I do hope the machine does not get toasted [19:37] did you set permissions as mentioned in that page? [19:37] compdoc, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1416265 - this is similar to what my characters look like [19:37] compdoc, I've not - not yet [19:38] check the perms now, and compare to what they suggest [19:39] you can just find the fonts without changing by doing: find /usr/share/fonts -iname '*.ttf' -type f [19:40] but start at root by doing cd / [19:42] I just ran those commands - will have to check if the fonts got fixed [19:42] am away from my computer - am currently remote [19:43] Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS - lsb_release -a is already showing that [19:44] I did that, but now upgraded to 20.04 [19:49] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] yassine: ya, domU <- that's xen stuff I just don't grok (understand). best of luck. [19:57] 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] zykotick9: thanks anyway! [19:59] 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] LTS is like a public license to be lazy and crap at updating [20:01] Zythyr: i think it meant that non lts are released every 6 months [20:01] ^ not really! You still need to get security updates, you just won't have the newest version of program X. [20:01] 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] EriC^^ zykotick9 Thank you. So by package updates, does that mean regular programs that don't come preisntalled? [20:21] Zythyr: yup [20:38] 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] LTS uses the stable branch. [20:39] and the rest already mentioned. [20:39] and LTS would not get new features, just big fixes .. unless there is a reason to file a !SRU [20:40] !sru [20:40] Stable Release Update information is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [20:43] !pastebinit [20:43] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [20:49] 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] 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] pillager86: Do you have another update program or software installer open? [20:52] jeremy31, i am not sure. i tried to kill process 1461 that is holding it [20:53] "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] I just wish I could check the progress of it, assuming it's installing update behind the scenes. [20:54] Livepatch experienced an error it says in the livepatch status bar [20:54] I'm gonna try to restart, brb [20:56] nevermind it started working somehow [21:02] hi there some one using pylxd? [21:08] 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] vlc/gimp snaps bridges these differences. [21:39] 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] zykotick9 EriC^^ oerheks Thanks for the help [21:39] 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] Zythyr: no problem [21:41] rory: you can do it with comm [21:41] nice, thanks EriC^^ this is a new command to me, looks perfect, reading man now [21:42] rory: no problem [21:47] compdoc, did you have to manually move /etc/apt/sources to 20.04? [21:47] Seems like mine are not updated automatically [21:48] "comm -23 <(sort urls.txt) <(sort visited.txt) > not_visited.txt" - thanks again [21:48] this is 20.04 server, is a segfault during updated a bad deal? https://paste.debian.net/1176782/ [21:49] how can i replace all xenial referenecs in /etc/apt to bionic? [21:49] exit status says 0 though [21:49] geosmile: sed will do it [21:50] or use a text editor find/replace all [21:50] ForeverNoob[m]: that's just the exit status of apt, not anything else within it [21:50] ForeverNoob[m]: Check the disks and memory [21:51] jpds: nothing seems out of the ordinary: https://paste.debian.net/1176784/ though it could be memory since it's a VM [21:52] jeremy31, is that safe to do automatically? [21:52] geosmile: probably not as it should have happened as part of the upgrade === oerheks1 is now known as oerheks [23:57] 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] Blade-Runner: What results with terminal command ' sudo update-grub ' ?
