[00:10] <DreamPCS> Hey guys, quick question (hopefully). I have an Ubuntu 18.04 server in google cloud, I connect via ssh via a public key that Google knows. I need to make some changes to systemctl but I don't know the password for my account (I'm not sure I ever set one)
[00:10] <DreamPCS> So I need to know how to go about setting a password. I tried the passwd command but I need my old password to authenticate
[00:10] <DreamPCS> I do not need to authenticate to use sudo however.
[00:11] <oerheks> google cloud instances.. not our job, really, but what docs are you using?
[00:12] <DreamPCS> I'm not sure what you mean as far as what docs I'm using. It was a vanilla ubuntu server 18.04 install and then I installed docker and docker-compose to run some containers.
[00:12] <DreamPCS> I'm thinking maybe I can use sudo to create another admin account, login to that account and use that to change the password for my account.
[00:13] <oerheks> https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/quickstart-linux
[00:14] <DreamPCS> Ok, looking over the document now, thanks.
[00:16] <DreamPCS> The document didn't have the answer, but it led me to search for "gcloud set linux user password" and I found a solution. "sudo -i" to enter root, and passwd <user> to change my password.
[00:21] <azx> what is an easy way to mount an NFS share to a directory in my home folder
[00:23] <azx> it was so easy with windows and smb just map a network drive enter address etc
[00:26] <DreamPCS> azx: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:27] <azx> 20.04.1 LTS
[00:28] <DreamPCS> Found this on google. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi9qt2Rm8ztAhVSjlkKHeUdB-0QFjABegQIAhAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalocean.com%2Fcommunity%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-up-an-nfs-mount-on-ubuntu-20-04&usg=AOvVaw3dzp6PExTzv3Ih52W9m8Fb
[00:33] <azx> there is not a way to see if i can connect to my nfs share in ubuntu GUI?
[00:33] <azx> i can't //server.ip or something
[00:33] <azx> in file browser
[00:37] <DreamPCS> Here's another site I found on google with a GUI tool for NFS shares.
[00:37] <DreamPCS> https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/11/easy-nfs-share-setup-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[00:37] <DreamPCS> Mind you, as far as I know, this isn't sanctioned by the Ubuntu team or Canonical. Tread carefully.
[01:35] <mulletman> BlueEagle, thanks, for whatever reason the man page was a bit confusing (for me at least) but your explanation clarifies it. thanks!
[01:42] <magic_ninja> is there any particular reason that the ubuntu updater doesn't suppress power management? Seems pretty risky to have the damn laptop go to sleep and freeze up during a release upgrade.

[04:47] <Hash> Ubuntu 20.04. apt install hydrogen and related hydrogen drum kit packages as I used to on 18.04. Tried to load my h2song file and I get an error, Snare Jaz drum flac not found. I tried to look for the files in all packages, but cannot find. It is part of hydrogen default drum kits, but since it's not presetn in 20.04 version, I get probolems. Any idea if this was moved to another package or
[04:47] <Hash> something

[04:53] <Hash> https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=cra_Jazz.flac&mode=path&suite=testing&arch=any it's in debian but not in ubuntu 20.04

[05:23] <Hash> https://bpa.st/O7WA Any idea how to add the drum kit to the package in ubuntu an rebuild?
[05:23] <Hash> I manually  put the GM kit in /usr in my system and hydrogen works again
[05:24] <Hash> I was thinking to get pkg source, add the kit, rebuilt, isntall, hold.

[06:39] <tarzeau> i was running thunderbird 68 with gpg encryption, now i reply to an encrypted mail, and i can't send it, because there was an update to 78... i can't save the mail either
[06:40] <tarzeau> now i copy paste the mail somewhere else? restart thunderbird and hope it find my key again? (gpg --clear-sign works)
[06:42] <tarzeau> Enigmail is no longer required on Thunderbird, and has become obsolete - this is the final version of Enigmail for Thunderbird.
[06:43] <tarzeau> damn i say migrate, and the migrate tool takes an old key the wrong one
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> tarzeau: is bug #1902801 what you experience?
[06:49] <tarzeau> lotuspsychje: it was just about the mail itself, restarting tb helped (got a notice enigmail was retired) and then trying to send i figured keys are expired but i could say go ahead anyway and that worked (no attachments involved)

[07:46] <Guest36158> i am using ubuntu live right now to test a problem on my laptop. when i check cpu usage via "top" command, i saw a process kworker kacpid uses about 60% cpu
[07:46] <Guest36158> https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=319847
[07:47] <Guest36158> on this page, it was mentioning about interrupts and exactly as it says, i disabled gpe13 interrupt and solved high cpu usage problem
[07:47] <Guest36158> but what is gpe13? how can i learn that?

[10:28] <isomari_> greetings, I asked this before but I llost my history for the answer. My 19.10 reached end of life during the long shutdown this year. How can I update to 20.04 without a reinstall? Which is not optional right now.
[10:30] <tinloaf> Hi. I'm once again battling with my x11 and fonts. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04. I want to use the font 'Hack' in my xterm/urxvt. The package `fonts-hack` is installed, the file `/usr/share/fonts/truetype/hack/Hack-Regular.ttf` exists. `fc-list` finds the font:
[10:30] <tinloaf> `> fc-list| grep -i hack
[10:30] <tinloaf> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/hack/Hack-Regular.ttf: Hack:style=Regular`
[10:31] <tinloaf> However, `xlsfonts | grep -i hack` returns nothing. So, what could be the issue if fontconfig sees Hack, but xlsfonts / xfontsel doesn't?
[10:31] <tinloaf> All the tutorials I could find tell me to configure fontconfig to find the respective font, but that's not the issue on my system, apparently…
[11:15] <lotuspsychje> can i start ubuntu setup from a running desktop (from an usb) this laptop has a broken F9 and cant boot into the usb
[11:17] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: What does the F9 key do at boot?
[11:18] <lotuspsychje> jeremy31: invokes the startup media menu, so can change boot order, but cant get into cdrom or usb anymore via F9
[11:18] <jeremy31> lotuspsychje: does it work to change BIOS setting to USB first?  Or is that the same?
[11:18] <lotuspsychje> tryed with plop boot manager cdrom and doesnt want to neither
[11:19] <lotuspsychje> yeah it doesnt pickup

[12:07] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:50] <Orcs53> Hi guys, I have Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed on a Raspberry Pi 3B, the desktop enviroment is LightDM and XDM. Since setting up this device, it has crashed many times, the crash just freezes the screen and it requires a reboot. Does anyone have any ideas what causes this?
[12:57] <Orcs53> I see this is the kern.log file "INFO: task Xorg:1989 blocked for more than 604 seconds."
[12:58] <Orcs53> This is the error I can see immediately before the reboot, Additionally, the crash on causes the desktop enviroment to hault. The display is still on, it just does not accept any input, and does not update the display.
[13:03] <BluesKaj> rpi3 isn't designed to handle full fledged ubuntu OS, also you should ask about your issues in #raspberrypi chat
[13:09] <Orcs53> BluesKaj Thank you for your help. In this case I use a light desktop enviroment. It performs quite well except for this instability. No worries I will check #raspberrypi
[13:22] <BlueEagle> Orcs53: I didn't find you in the #raspberrypi channel, but make sure you've got proper cooling as the symptoms are consistent with heat dissipation issues.
[14:19] <meth> hello how to achieve 133% fractional scaling? I have a 2K monitor and on windows 10 I set the scaling value to 133 so the screen zoom looks like 1080p the problem is my monitor is 25" if it were 27" I'd be happy with native resolution.

[14:40] <coconut_> Anything known?
[15:09] <coconut> Any way for apt to exclude one package from upgrading?
[15:10] <rory> yes coconut: sudo apt-mark hold <package-name>
[15:10] <rory> coconut, there are various other ways detailed here: https://askubuntu.com/a/18656/62969
[15:11] <coconut> rory, how long is that "hold" memorized?
[15:11] <rory> until you run sudo apt-mark unhold <package-name>
[15:11] <rory> check holds with: sudo apt-mark showhold
[15:11] <coconut> thanks rory :)
[15:37] <neildugan> With the current Ubuntu can you login in twice as different users?
[15:42] <cariveri> Hi. can anyone help me where to put a user defined bakground image for the grub menue? I placed on .png and .tga in /boot/grub/ (read in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme) but the splash remains pure black.
[15:43] <BluesKaj> cariveri, have you run sudo update-grub since the edit?
[15:44] <cariveri> BluesKaj: I did not need to edit the file. its already searches for pictures in /boot/grub according to its comment in the code at least. o thats where I put the picture.
[15:49] <BluesKaj> cariveri, afaik, editing /boot/grub isn't recommended, editing in /etc/default/grub is what we recommend here, since it's simpler and easier for users and it works when edited correctly
[15:50] <cariveri> BluesKaj: I did not edit at all. because the code already does what it should do. I just placed an image in the suspected directory /boot/grub/ .
[15:50] <coconut> Any reason for why nouveau and nvidia are both installed by default?

[15:55] <eater9-> Any recommendation of a video player that can play 1080p files without lagging? or system tweaks to fix performance? i've tried mpv/smplayer, parole, vlc and they're all unusable on my Thinkpad
[15:56] <gordonjcp> eater9-: that's probably down to your processor and graphics card
[15:56] <gordonjcp> eater9-: which Thinkpad do you have?
[15:57] <eater9-> X1 Carbon gen 6
[15:57] <gordonjcp> Ooh, that's cute
[15:58] <eater9-> :I watching a video doesn't seem like so much to ask of it
[15:58] <gordonjcp> eater9-: newer core i5 than my T440, which definitely struggles to play 1080p
[16:00] <GhostOfSamurai> I'm having an issue with my displays not sleeping on Ubuntu 20.04 when my desktop idles, neither within a logon session or from the lock (logon) screen.
[16:02] <GhostOfSamurai> I'm using Gnome3. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.
[16:05] <glowdemon1> Hi; can you add multiple admins to a group with gpasswd?
[16:05] <glowdemon1> if I do gpasswd -A with 2 different users, it will just set it to the user of the last command
[16:05] <glowdemon1> I cant find the answer anywhere
[16:05] <GhostOfSamurai> I think gpasswd only lets you do one user at a time
[16:06] <glowdemon1> alright, thanks :)
[16:06] <GhostOfSamurai> i think there's a bash trick you can use though if you want a one-liner
[16:06] <GhostOfSamurai> one sec
[16:10] <GhostOfSamurai> @glowdemon been a while since i used bash religiously, but using curly braces i think runs the command each time for each item separated by a comma. does this work? gpasswd -a {user1,user2} GROUP
[16:11] <GhostOfSamurai> sorry, bad mention above. glowdemon1 see my last message
[16:11] <leftyfb> GhostOfSamurai: that will not work
[16:12] <GhostOfSamurai> leftyfb darn, well thanks for weighing in
[16:12] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: for i in user1 user2 ; do gpasswd -a $i GROUP
[16:12] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: for i in user1 user2 ; do gpasswd -a $i GROUP ; done
[16:12] <glowdemon1> Yeah that will append the users to the group
[16:12] <glowdemon1> But it wont make them admin
[16:13] <GhostOfSamurai> glowdemon1 i guess i don't understand the ask here. to give a user elevated privileges you add them to a group with the target perms you want
[16:13] <GhostOfSamurai> unless i'm missing something
[16:13] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: ok, so now you're mentioning a separate issue
[16:14] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: what do you mean by adding an "admin" to a group?
[16:14] <glowdemon1> gpasswd -A
[16:14] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: you're either in a group or not. There is no admin in a group(linux group)
[16:14] <glowdemon1> -A, --administrators user,...
[16:14] <glowdemon1>            Set the list of administrative users.
[16:15] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: ok, that add users to administrator groups
[16:15] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: so what is the question exactly?
[16:15] <glowdemon1> if it's possible to set multiple admins to a group
[16:15] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: you can add multiple users to a group, yes
[16:16] <glowdemon1> yes but I'm asking about admins
[16:16] <glowdemon1> if I add a user with gpasswd -a, they wont be group admins
[16:16] <glowdemon1> sorry if I'm being vague here, I'm still learning this
[16:16] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: there is no "admins" in a group. You are either in a group or not. You can add multiple users to a group that is considered an admin group (adm, root, etc)
[16:17] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: what exactly is it you're trying to accomplish? Why do you need to add users to an admin group? What isn't working?
[16:17] <GhostOfSamurai> i think glowdemon1 is asking how to allow other users without root to manage a membership of a specific group
[16:17] <glowdemon1> It's for my course
[16:17] <glowdemon1> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/gpasswd.1.html
[16:17] <glowdemon1> yes
[16:17] <glowdemon1> @ghostofsamurai
[16:18] <glowdemon1> kind of
[16:18] <glowdemon1> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/gpasswd.1.html see the -A flag
[16:18] <glowdemon1> it says the -A flag sets the admin of a group
[16:18] <leftyfb> negative
[16:18] <GhostOfSamurai> pretty sure it's going to be something in the sudoers file, but i've been in windows land professionally for too long to recall :)
[16:18] <Guess59061> Why when I run `sudo id -ur` as a non-root user (UID 1000), I get a 0? The sudo program has the s flag, so shouldn't RUID remain 1000?
[16:18] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: -A: Set the list of administrative users.
[16:18] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: not admin of a group
[16:19] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: you are either in a group or not. There is no "admin of a group"
[16:19] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: just use -A to add a user to an admin group
[16:23] <GhostOfSamurai> i think i have your answer glowdemon1
[16:24] <GhostOfSamurai> gpasswd -A user1,user2,userX GROUPNAME
[16:24] <leftyfb> GhostOfSamurai: negative. That is not what -A is for
[16:24] <leftyfb> GhostOfSamurai: -A does not take a group as a parameter
[16:24] <GhostOfSamurai> This is from the manpage: "System administrators can use the -A option to define group
[16:24] <GhostOfSamurai>        administrator(s) and the -M option to define members. They have all
[16:24] <GhostOfSamurai>        rights of group administrators and members."
[16:24] <GhostOfSamurai> what does this mean then?
[16:24] <glowdemon1> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/gshadow.5.html
[16:25] <GhostOfSamurai> what is a "group administrator" then, if not a user who can manage group membership?
[16:25] <GhostOfSamurai> my command above does not give a group as a parameter to -A, it gives a list of users for that option
[16:25] <glowdemon1> yes my lecturer said a group admin is a person who can manage a group as well
[16:25] <glowdemon1> eg: add members
[16:26] <GhostOfSamurai> leftyfb are you confusing -A with -a? they are different options
[16:26] <glowdemon1> i'm being really confused now because gshadow says the same
[16:26] <glowdemon1> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/gshadow.5.html > search for "administrators"
[16:26] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: a "group admin" is a user who is added to a group that has rights to modify group settings
[16:26] <glowdemon1> yes but the group admin doesnt have to be a member
[16:27] <leftyfb> glowdemon1: sort of. The group created to admin another group will need to be added to the original group
[16:27] <glowdemon1> I see
[16:28] <glowdemon1> so I assume you can make another group then and add that group with gpasswd -A
[16:28] <glowdemon1> or the comma seperate list like @GhostOfSamurai said (I didnt manage to test this yet but I will :))
[16:29] <glowdemon1> actually it has to be a user
[16:30] <glowdemon1> Sorry I have to go for 30mins. I'll be back. I think my question is answered here but if anyone wants to throw in something else, feel free to :)
[16:30] <glowdemon1> Thanks again
[16:30] <GhostOfSamurai> not sure how correct that is. you can add groups as members to another group, though the manpage only mentions users. not sure if that extends to group admins though
[16:30] <glowdemon1> I just tried to add a group with -A and that doesnt work fyi
[16:31] <glowdemon1> but brb now
[16:31] <GhostOfSamurai> see ya
[16:34] <GhostOfSamurai> Anybody know how I can troubleshoot display sleep issues in Ubuntu? My displays never go to sleep regardless of my desktop settings.
[16:43] <ThinkT510> GhostOfSamurai: you'll want to check both screensaver and power manager settings.
[16:51] <GhostOfSamurai> ThinkT510 i think i stumbled onto the reason, and a possible solution. seems the screensaver doesn't work with lightdm, but I thought 20.04 was using gnome3 (i'm using lightdm now). seems i need to install or reconfigure gdm3 and log in with that instead
[16:57] <jmnoz> Has 19.10 updates broken for everyone or is it just me?

[16:57] <jmnoz> ThinkT510: thanks
[17:27] <coconut> I just did a reinstall of ubuntu & removed my config files... and now my auto-completion does not work on the second word used. Any ideas?
[17:45] <tomreyn> coconut: is bash-completion installed?
[17:46] <coconut> yup

[17:54] <ashwin2882> how to make vino-server as a service that starts on boot and not requiring to login to start the service.
[17:55] <coconut> tomreyn, how do i do that?
[17:56] <tomreyn> sudo systemctl restart systemd-user-sessions.service
[17:59] <tomreyn> ashwin2882: i dont think its meant to be used that way. however, there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#x11vnc
[18:00] <coconut> tomreyn, did not fix it
[18:00] <GhostOfSamurai> ThinkT510 yeah, switching to use gdm3 instead of lightdm fixed the display sleep problem for me
[18:00] <coconut> thanks though :)
[18:00] <tomreyn> coconut: so it must be something else.
[18:01] <ThinkT510> GhostOfSamurai: glad you solved it
[18:01] <coconut> yeah i guess, but i deleted the whole .config directory, so that can not be it i assume.
[18:02] <ashwin2882> Thanks tomreyn for the insight
[18:02] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[18:03] <ashwin2882> which performs better, xrdp or VNC ?
[18:05] <coconut> Any default place in the iso of ubuntu where the wallpapers are located?
[18:35] <octav1a> Hello, using ubuntu 20.04 on the cloud, I am using the cloud-provider's networking panel to configure firewall rules to my liking, but I've noticed with the default installation, there seem to be some IPtables rules configured which block traffic on my subnet. I wish to just completely open the software firewall and only use the cloud provider's rules. What is the most elegant way to do this and make sure it is still allowing all traffic on reboot, too?
[18:40] <tomreyn> you could just uninstall iptables + ufw
[18:42] <tomreyn> i'm assuming that what you're configuring on the cloud providers' web panel is a network firewall, not rulesets which are applied to the ubuntu VM's iptables based firewall.
[18:45] <sookablyat> people anybody here on Ubuntu Muslim Edition?

[18:49] <OnkelBlade> trying...
[18:51] <OnkelBlade> tomreyn: yeah, it worked! huh. Weird that Unetbootin, which has been helping all these years doesn't work anymore
[18:52] <octav1a> tomreyn: thank you for the suggestion. Just to verify, you mean that if the iptables and ufw packages are uninstalled, the services will automatically end and all traffic will be allowed?
[18:53] <sookablyat> can somebody help me develop a ubuntu flavored new distro?
[18:53] <tomreyn> octav1a: no host firewall should be active then. whatever policies and rules you apply on the network firewall will still apply, of course.
[18:54] <tomreyn> sookablyat: that's not really an ubuntu support question either. try -offtopic maybe
[18:54] <octav1a> Thank you for the recommendation, that is how I intended it to work.
[18:56] <sookablyat> octav1a, are you talking to me?
[18:56] <octav1a> sookablyat: uhh, no, hehe, I was just acknowledging tomreyn :3
[18:57] <sookablyat> oh ok
[19:20] <Raythonic> Wanted to upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10, but the do-release-upgrade breaks because of what looks like a python compatibility issue.  Anyone else run into this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1901812?
[19:21] <rory> sookablyat might find this interesting: https://github.com/chamuco/respin
[19:21] <rory> pretty sure all these projects are dead though
[19:32] <sookablyat> rory, yeah i see
[19:39] <tomreyn> Raythonic: this channel does notr support "pop os"
[19:42] <genii> You might find some help for Pop! OS in the #system76 channel
[19:47] <baskak> Hi! I dug out my old Ubuntu installation, and cloned it onto a machine I use (Dell Precision T3600) and it seemed to run OK. I attempted the LTS-to-LTS upgrade route, which for a moment worked OK, but now I'm stuck in emergency mode. I'm at 16.04 LTS. I'd like to rectify the problem and upgrade further
[19:49] <tomreyn> i think we're fine with this
[19:51] <Crashbit> Hi! I know wireguard is not a vpn, but on Arch, the AUR repository I found network-manager-wireguard. A GUI to configure wireguard and activate and deactivate. I want to know if exist a GUI to do the same with Ubuntu
[19:52] <Crashbit> I know networkmanager versión >1.6 support wireguard, but I can't know if exist a GUI
[19:57] <tomreyn> Crashbit: the author of the wireguard gnome configuration GUI provides packages for ubuntu 20.04 LTS at this (unsupported, here) PPA https://launchpad.net/~meiser79/+archive/ubuntu/focal
[20:00] <Raythonic> Thanks.  N.B. this upgrade error is not unique to PopOS, thus why I was asking if anyone else here experienced it.  I was looking for what others may have tried or learned.
[20:14] <rndd> hi everyone! newbe question. i installed ubuntu server with docker option. and docker works. but "systemctl status docker" returns error. am i doing it wrong?
[20:15] <tomreyn> is it a snap?
[20:16] <rndd> tomreyn, as i see, yes
[20:17] <tomreyn> then, i assume, there is no systemd service management. but i din't really know.
[20:17] <tomreyn> there's also #ubuntu-server
[20:19] <rndd> tomreyn: ohhhh, i found
[20:19] <rndd> snap services docker.dockerd
[20:19] <rndd> damn, next time will install this using apt-get

[20:41] <giaco> I've an old system with dual gpu each with 2 dvi outputs, for a total of 4. I've attached it to a 4 mount display wall, and I've launched xorg on nouveau on it to get a single desktop made of 4 displays and I've launched the 4 web pages I need to monitor fullscreen on each one. Everything seemed ok at first, but after a few days the system hangs
[20:57] <leftyfb> baskak: if this was an old system you just "dug out", why not just reinstall from scratch? It's cleaner, easier, quicker and you'll have less issues.
[21:01] <OnkelBlade> Hi folks. What file can I use to run xrandr on 20.04?
[21:02] <OnkelBlade> Actually let me start for the very beginning: my nvidia 450 driver (and 455 as well) along with Xorg decided to fake DPPI
[21:02] <OnkelBlade> dpi
[21:02] <OnkelBlade> So I need somehow to tell them: no way guys, gimme back my 96
[21:03] <OnkelBlade> So what is the way to do that really? It seems to be difficult nowadays
[21:05] <oerheks> an ordinairy xorg.conf most likely
[21:05] <oerheks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[21:06] <OnkelBlade> oerheks: wow, how so? We should even think about that file. We shouldn't call it by its name
[21:06] <OnkelBlade> Everything now is done _automatically_
[21:06] <OnkelBlade> shouldn't*
[21:32] <donavan01> anyone gotten a surface pro to work with ubuntu specifically the pen and touch pad
[21:34] <oerheks> surface pro needs a tweaked kernel, AFAIK.. and there are many surface versions
[21:35] <oerheks> https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup
[21:35] <donavan01> yeah I have a 7 so its going to be a tough on since its newer im sure... so its a kernel issue and not just a driver
[21:37] <oerheks> Touch screen.
[21:37] <oerheks> IPTS firmware pending
[21:38] <oerheks> https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface/issues/592
[21:38] <oerheks> yes, probably too new
[21:39] <donavan01> well the first how to has dead links for debian so thats great
[21:45] <donavan01> yeah just read what you sent seems like I can never get a device that just plays nice with linux right out of the box I figured these would be prime linux machine guess I have to wait a while
[21:59] <pillager86> Can someone help me? the application `dub` no longer works... I get dub: symbol lookup error: dub: undefined symbol: _D3std3net4curl4HTTP9__mixin376onSendMFNdDFAvZmZv
[21:59] <pillager86> I tried reinstalling
[22:00] <JayDoubleu> So, I got the new AMD RX6800 card, Windows 10 after installing the drivers works fine with proper resolution but I cannot get it to work on Ubuntu. Tried 20.04 and 20.10. At boot the driver seems to go into nomodeset and displays low resolution. When I run lshw -c video it shows that device is unclaimed. When I manually modprobe the amdgpu and reconnect the displayport it doesnt bring up display. Any idea ? I tried
[22:00] <JayDoubleu> the newest mesa drivers from PPA, I also tried the native AMD driver ( this one fails on amdgpu-dkms but when I install it with --no-dkms flag it lets it install but it still doesnt fix the resolution)
[22:01] <oerheks> pillager86, tried the snap version?
[22:01] <pillager86> hmm
[22:01] <oerheks> 1.19 https://snapcraft.io/dub
[22:06] <pillager86> I fixed it by uninstalling dmd and dub and installing the deb file from DMD's website
[22:06] <pillager86> I wanted the latest version anyway
[22:13] <other_rick> hello, How can I set a module parameter in the source code? I read a MAC address from the eFuse controller, but I need set that value to the module param: "fec.macaddr=0x1,0x1,0x2,02"
[22:29] <jeremy31> other_rick: That looks like something you would add to Grub
[22:32] <other_rick> jeremy31: In normal conditions, but are thousand of machines, I don't want to modify the Freescale controller.
[22:33] <other_rick> The module paramameter 'macaddr' its one way for avoid that
[22:35] <jeremy31> I would normally do>  echo "options fec macaddr=0x1,0x1,0x2,02" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/fec.conf
[22:47] <MIF> How do I see what prossess is using what port?
[22:49] <oerheks> lsof -i <port>
[22:50] <MIF> thank you
[22:50] <oerheks> https://www.ubuntu-user.com/Magazine/Archive/2016/31/lsof-finds-shows-and-searches-data-streams
[22:50] <oerheks> lsof -i TCP:22

[23:52] <doubleqp> hm, I'm using a killswitch in my wireguard config (https://pastebin.com/rtPEEBsV) but it also blocks my entire LAN network, while I want the LAN network to remain accessible but traffic to my gateway blocked.
