[02:48] <drazin> Hi all - i'm new to ubuntu and ive got a server up and running fine for plex.  the problem is its turned itsself off a few times today and wont turn back on until i unplug and replug it in.  can someone help me find some info on why it shutdown?
[02:49] <GanoTade17> sounds to me like a hardware issue
[02:49] <drazin> ubuntu 20.04
[02:49] <drazin> would the syslog be of help?
[02:49] <drazin> plenty of warnings/errors but no halts or panics
[02:49] <GanoTade17> What do the warnings entail?
[02:50] <oerheks> do a memtest86 run
[02:50] <drazin> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/umaBO017/IMG_1359.JPG
[02:51] <drazin> best i can do from here
[02:51] <drazin> i dont have that command memtest86
[02:51] <drazin> is that something i need to install
[02:52] <GanoTade17> I'm not seeing anything too out of the ordinary
[02:52] <GanoTade17> not crazy enough to cause a system shutdown
[02:53] <GanoTade17> again I think it could be a hardware issue
[02:53] <drazin> its happened twice today and once yesterday
[02:53] <drazin> could it be overheating?
[02:53] <drazin> i installed sensors and i get this:
[02:53] <GanoTade17> That's a probable cause yeah
[02:53] <drazin> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/VvQUuLQ1/IMG_1360.JPG
[02:55] <drazin> are any of those the NVME
[02:55] <drazin> ssd
[02:55] <drazin> that likely doesnt get cooled
[02:56] <GanoTade17> That could be your issue. You should start adequately cooling your hardware
[02:57] <drazin> is there a way i can check the temp of it
[02:57] <drazin> the CPU and nothing else seems hot
[02:58] <drazin> so likely adequate
[02:58] <drazin> theres a memtester in the bios
[02:58] <drazin> i'll run
[03:01] <Bashing-om> drazin: ' cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp ' ?
[03:01] <drazin> ill try that next. running a memtest
[03:03] <leftyfb> drazin: look at temperatures. See if it's overheating
[03:04] <leftyfb> oh sorry, I missed your post that you did
[03:20] <drazin> memory test passed
[03:21] <drazin> @Bashing-om  i get a 34000 when i run that command
[03:21] <drazin> is that 34d c?
[03:26] <Bashing-om> franzer: Sorta .. milla centigrade :D
[03:27] <drazin> im at a loss here
[03:27] <drazin> no clue in how to track down what happened
[03:27] <drazin> is there something i can do to have it tell me next time it shuts down?
[03:33] <drazin> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/yVE0r4am/IMG_1361.JPG
[03:34] <drazin> i found a command and see some references to crash
[03:34] <drazin> does this mean anything to anyone?
[03:36] <magic_ninja> is there any way I can sniff the network traffic of a specific program only
[03:38] <leftyfb> magic_ninja: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55070731
[03:40] <Bashing-om> drazin: NBore that plex has a crash :(
[03:41] <drazin> nbore?
[03:41] <Bashing-om> drazin: That should be NBore/note :(
[03:41] <drazin> plex the app but not the server?
[03:42] <Bashing-om> drazin: Well - will plex crashing also take the server down with it ?
[03:43] <drazin> maybe?
[03:45] <drazin> is really no "output of why the server went down" style message
[03:46] <oerheks> that is why i think you need to do a memtest86 run, from alive iso
[03:46] <Bashing-om> drazin: Well - if the system just suddenly crashes there may be no means to write out to log files.
[03:48] <drazin> true
[03:48] <oerheks> temp issues would give a warning, before that
[03:49] <drazin> where would i find those if there were any
[03:49] <drazin> im running sensors every fre mins
[03:49] <drazin> nothings changed really
[03:50] <drazin> the CPU is getting cooler at 42deg
[03:50] <oerheks> with an active hd movie?
[03:50] <drazin> lemme try
[03:51] <magic_ninja> no luck
[03:51] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja: sniff; wireshark to the rescue
[03:51] <magic_ninja> I have wireshark, just kinda hard to point it to a pid that doesn't exist yet
[03:52] <magic_ninja> Well, I'm sure me not knowing what I'm doing is a major contributing factor.
[03:52] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja: if you start pentesting you kinda need to know what you're doing, give things a read first :p
[03:53] <magic_ninja> I'm not pentesting
[03:56] <drazin> ive got 10 active transcodes
[03:56] <drazin> https://www.dropbox.com/s/yk3lt17v6dj6qbw/Screen%20Shot%202020-12-22%20at%2010.55.28%20PM.png?dl=0
[03:57] <drazin> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/O5u43Zdx/IMG_1362.JPG
[03:57] <drazin> and still no significant rise
[03:57] <drazin> actually which one of those is my actual CPU
[03:57] <drazin> temp
[04:49] <saberu> i just upgraded from 19.04 to 19.10 as I'm upgrading each update until I reach the latest which I think is 20.10. But one issue I found is I can't login to SSH anymore, i get booted off after typing username, can't reach password prompt
[04:50] <saberu> and I've checked all the sshd_config settings, i added an AllowUsers line with the username but it didn't help
[04:51] <saberu> feels like 19.10 has introduced some weird security features, maybe it's expecting my client to be in a hosts ID file somewhere
[04:51] <oerheks> not sure why it crashed, upgrade to a supported version
[04:51] <oerheks> !19.10
[04:52] <saberu> wouldn't it make more sense for me to fix the issue before I upgrade to the next version?
[04:54] <saberu> I am getting close to the point of wanting to do a fresh Ubuntu 20.10 install and just manually pushing all files over, as it's getting annoying trying to do it the right way
[05:07] <saberu> managed to get up to 20.04 now :P  slowly but surely lol
[05:08] <saberu> upgrading fixed my SSH issue, cool
[05:10] <guiverc> saberu, yes it does make sense to fix issues before release-upgrading to next release; but youv'e missed the 19.10 support window; it's now EOL & thus unsupported. but well done on fixing it !
[05:12] <saberu> Thanks guiverc :)
[08:10] <locsmif_work> Hi. My microphone level self-adjusts upwards. How do I stop this?

[08:22] <unixbsd> how to rotate a video while playing 90Â degrees with mencoder ?
[09:48] <XV8> Morning, can anyone tell me where the freeipa-server package went in the repositories for 20.04? When searching for the server package, it is not available.
[09:48] <XV8> E: Unable to locate package freeipa-server
[09:49] <mar77i> hmm. on this 18.04 box it would appear logrotate is telling lies
[09:49] <oerheks> !info freeipa
[09:50] <oerheks> XV8, it should be in universe, make sue that repo is enabled
[09:50] <oerheks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+source/freeipa
[09:50] <mar77i> well the log may have been rotated, there's just no such logfile with a .1 suffix...
[09:55] <faLUKE> hello. If I launch a Windows program with wine, it listens on port with number 8000. If the program hangs, the port is still open. I tried to kill wine process, but it's not enough. I tried "fuser 8000/tcp -k" as well, but none is listed. How can I clean this?
[10:36] <summonner> have you tried turning it off and on again? j/k
[10:36] <summonner> faLUKE, do you find the port listed when you use lsof?
[10:37] <faLUKE> summonner: solved with "wineserver -k; killall -9 wine wineserver; for i in `ps ax|egrep "*\.exe"|grep -v 'egrep'|awk '{print $1 }'`;do kill -9 $i;done" <--- a big mess, though
[10:37] <summonner> probably faster to do a netstat -ap | grep 8000 and see if anything else has stolen the port?
[10:39] <faLUKE> summonner: doesn't return anything
[10:40] <faLUKE> summonner: the previous command is the only solution, it's a huge mess, believe me

[11:10] <tdm4> Hi all.. on an Ubuntu 20.04 machine.. does systemd sometimes just restart everything while the machine is running? Trying to diagnose my in-laws laptop.. their network connection dropped and everything went away then came back a minute later. Was it doing an in-place kernel upgrade? (Does UBuntu do that now?)
[11:11] <tdm4> like a hot kernel upgrade without a reboot?
[11:14] <tdm4> it ran stuff like this: systemd[1]: Finished Create Static Device Nodes in /dev   ... stuff it would normally do on bootup but the machine wasn't rebooted
[11:14] <tdm4> and it reset the network
[11:16] <tdm4> kernel: [    0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-58-generic root=UUID=28ee4f2f-9fea-4361-9116-5f564b1f185f ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7
[11:17] <tdm4> is this the LIve Patch thing?
[11:18] <lotuspsychje> tdm4: livepatch only active when you applied for an account
[11:18] <lotuspsychje> tdm4: did you reboot after kernel update?
[11:19] <tdm4> yeah I see nothing in the logs or dpkg that says livepatch is installed or used
[11:20] <lotuspsychje> tdm4: what kind of chipsets are your wifi/eth ?
[11:21] <tdm4> Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
[11:21] <tdm4> Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)
[11:21] <lotuspsychje> tdm4: ok, so what happens exactly when you boot into kernel 5.4.0-58?
[11:22] <tdm4> for the first time?
[11:22] <tdm4> 5.4.0-58 first installed on December 13th
[11:23] <tdm4> hmm this may not be a problem.. could have just been an actual reboot
[11:23] <tdm4> diagnosing it remotely is difficult :)
[11:24] <lotuspsychje> tdm4: there are some bugs reported on kernels higher then -54, hence the question if you can describe whats happenign exactly?
[11:24] <tdm4> OK I'll need to get some feedback. Do you think a random reboot would be one of the bugs?
[11:25] <lotuspsychje> tdm4: didnt saw one of those no, you might wanna investigate dmesg and the journal logs
[11:26] <tdm4> the journal logs only go back to earlier this morning
[12:18] <ontheloose2020> so no support for Apple Silicon via Parallels in the latest daily build
[12:23] <ogra> ontheloose2020, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2020-December/041288.html
[12:26] <ontheloose2020> ogra parallels thinks the ISO is Intel
[12:27] <ogra> well, it seems you need a "parallels preview" of some sort ... according to that mail
[12:28] <ogra> (and indeed the server arm64 image ... )
[12:29] <ontheloose2020> ogra ive got the preview and the latest insider arm build it fails after a windows update while ubuntu iso is wrongly identified as Intel by Parallels
[12:31] <ogra> and you are using http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.10/release/ubuntu-20.10-live-server-arm64.iso ?
[12:31] <ontheloose2020> ogra daily arm64 desktop img
[12:32] <ogra> desktop ?
[12:32] <ogra> we dont build arm64 desktop AFAIK
[12:32] <ontheloose2020> ogra yes parallels believes it is intel
[12:32] <ogra> (only for the pi but thats special)
[12:32] <ontheloose2020> check the daily build
[12:32] <ogra> oh, i see
[12:33] <ogra> well, not sure thats even bootable yet
[12:34] <ontheloose2020> well parallels thinks its intel
[12:34] <ogra> i'd try the server image, as instructed
[12:34] <ogra> you can always install the ubuntu-desktop task later with tasksel
[12:35] <ontheloose2020> ogra !
[12:35] <ogra> hirsute is still very young and i'm not aware there has been any work put into making some generic arm64 work yet
[12:37] <ontheloose2020> ogra ill try daily then current
[12:37] <ogra> good luck
[12:38] <ontheloose2020> ogra it reports that daily is intel
[12:38] <ogra> the iso i linked above ?
[12:38] <ogra> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.10/release/ubuntu-20.10-live-server-arm64.iso
[12:42] <ontheloose2020> ogra thanks im sure parallels will call it intel
[12:44] <ogra> well, all i can say is that there is exactly one person in canonical owning M1 HW ... and bove are the instructions ... the "daily" you are pointing to isnt even a product yet and since we typically build for HW we can test on it is most likely for chromebooks or some such ... i wouldnt even remotely bother with arm64 desktop daily right now
[12:44] <ogra> ... at least not for M!
[12:44] <ogra> *M1
[12:45] <ontheloose2020> ogra parallels says its intel
[12:45] <ogra> the server iso ?
[12:45] <ontheloose2020> ogra yes
[12:46] <ogra> well, then ask on the mail thread ... or try to find "doko" in #ubuntu-devel, perhaps he is around (though mind you, canonical is officially on vacation til EOY)
[12:50] <ontheloose2020> ogra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaZ_TAdpAbU
[12:51] <ontheloose2020> ogra claims to have used the 10-20 arm build and then installed unity
[12:52] <ontheloose2020> ogra someone in the comments said something about raspberry pi
[12:57] <ontheloose2020> ogra pi image does not work either
[12:57] <ogra> why would it
[12:57] <ogra> it has a pi bootloader ... and is preinstalled
[13:02] <ogra> (preinstalled -> pre-partitioned disk image, not an iso with installer)
[13:02] <ontheloose2020> ogra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDBGbhJ9sSo LTS recent daily build
[13:04] <ontheloose2020> ogra does not work either
[13:05] <ontheloose2020> ogra these videos are fake
[13:06] <ogra> well, the mail from matthias isnt fake ...
[13:07] <ogra> ask in the thread or find him in #ubuntu-devel
[13:11] <ontheloose2020> ogra got it going
[13:12] <ogra> 👍
[13:15] <ontheloose2020> ogra smooth as butter
[13:25] <ontheloose2020> ogra daily build wont load the software store
[13:36] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:41] <thyriaen> Hello, i have a ubuntu 20.10 server running and i am connected to it via SSH - now i would like to rename the current user ( which i am logged in as ) i cannot use usermod -l because my sshd is running under the said userm, which i cannot kill from within sudo -i
[13:43] <Squishy> thyriaen, you can just create another temp user account and add it to sudo, then login as the new temp, change your original account that way
[13:43] <thyriaen> Squishy, ah nice, thanks :=)
[13:43] <thyriaen> not sure why i hadn't thought of that
[13:54] <drazin> ok guys - so i woke up this AM and my machine is off.  What is the best route for seeing what happenend when i turn it back up
[13:54] <drazin> *on
[13:57] <LordChaos> drazin go through the journal
[14:01] <drazin> ok i'm starting it up now
[14:01] <drazin> can you guide me?
[14:05] <LordChaos> drazin: just start journalctl and work your way down
[14:06] <LordChaos> drazin: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-journalctl-to-view-and-manipulate-systemd-logs
[14:08] <drazin> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/QLAKJEJE/IMG_1364.JPG
[14:09] <drazin> are any of these indicative of the crash?
[14:10] <LordChaos> drazin a crash powered down your machine?
[14:10] <drazin> something did!
[14:10] <drazin> trying to figure out whats happening
[14:10] <drazin> plex goes down, i try to SSH and the host is down, i look at machine and its off and wont turn on until i unplug and replug
[14:12] <LordChaos> drazin: As I said, use journalctl and work your way down. See the link I provided.
[14:17] <ontheloose2020> ogra that ubuntu sure is a snooze
[14:31] <drazin> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/iAA09Rh9/IMG_1366.JPG
[14:31] <drazin> ok i was able to locate the point in time the server went down
[14:32] <drazin> @LordChaos could you please help me interpret?
[14:33] <LordChaos> drazin: I don't see any particular error, did yo have a power outage?
[14:34] <drazin> no
[14:35] <LordChaos> drazin: there is nothing in the logs that suggest a creash before the machine went dead, it certainly wasn't a normal shutdown.
[14:36] <LordChaos> drazin: a failing power supply maybe?
[14:36] <drazin> perhaps
[14:36] <drazin> temps seems to be under control

[15:02] <veryloud> Hey! I'm having a weird issue on 20.04 Gnome with a wireless keyboard. I have both a Logitech G513 and a Razer Pro Type connected. I can switch flawlessly between canadian french and US layouts on the wired Logitech G513, but with the Pro Type (regardless of bluetooth mode or dongle mode), I can switch the language, but it keeps typing in US english.
[15:03] <veryloud> If I switch to Fr-CA on the G513 and type a character on the Pro Type, it types exactly one character in the correct layout, then reverts to US layout
[15:04] <veryloud> looks like typing on the Pro Type also reverts the layout for the G513
[15:14] <loxie> im trying to use my pihole dns server(quad9filtered) but have noticed that my /etc/resov.conf says im using 127.0.0.53 so does nslookup google.com. I have config my router and my os network to use 192.168.1.102 what gives-should i manually edit my nameserver and keep a backup-thought changing ubuntu network settings and router to reflect desired dns would make that happen? please help me out
[15:15] <loxie> server 127.0.0.53. address 127.0.0.53#53 is what i get back after running nslookup google.com
[15:16] <loxie> but i have set my dns to be 192.168.1.102 on router under my wired connection (ubuntu)
[15:17] <loxie> fyi using quad9 filtered on the pihole
[15:19] <siwica> My gnome control center segfaults after some configurations on a newly installed 20.10. What options do I have?
[15:22] <loxie> whats a segfaults
[15:22] <RoseBus> tieinv i'm trying to use it for o365 work acount
[15:23] <RoseBus> (considering)
[15:23] <RoseBus> but only if it's a better option than using web-browser
[15:23] <RoseBus> i'm wondering if anyone can provide testimony
[15:24] <siwica> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault
[15:25] <ioria> siwica, any ppa installed ? have you added a not supported theme ? does it work from a livecd   ?
[15:26] <siwica> no, no, idk
[15:27] <loxie> tested your ram with a live usb

[15:28] <siwica> coconut: Yeah, I know. I considered that short enough to spare me the time of pasting it somewhere.
[15:28] <siwica> ioria: https://termbin.com/ipi2
[15:29] <loxie> any takers re the dns thingie
[15:30] <ioria> siwica,  are you fully updated =  sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[15:31] <siwica> ioria: Yes, fully updated
[15:32] <LordChaos> siwica: can you check if it runs fine using a different user?
[15:33] <siwica> Hm, only one user with shell access. I could create another one, but would prefer not to.
[15:33] <ioria> siwica,  if added recenlty some shell extensions, i'd try to disable them
[15:33] <siwica> ioria: What do you mean by shell extensions?
[15:34] <siwica> It's not a shell problem.
[15:36] <ioria> siwica, gnome-shell extensions are piece of codes that add  features or funcionalities to the gnome DE
[15:37] <ioria> siwica, you can install them manually or via the ff browser
[15:38] <siwica> Hm, I have never installed anything like that (as far as I know...)
[15:38] <ioria> siwica, so, if you run 'gnome-control-center' from terminal, what happens exactly ?
[15:42] <siwica> ioria: I simply segfaults without showing the gui even once: https://termbin.com/mf57
[15:43] <siwica> https://termbin.com/gg9t
[15:43] <siwica> (The latter are the last 100 lines of an strace)
[15:46] <ioria> siwica,  try with sudo :  '  sudo gnome-control-center'
[15:46] <siwica> After gnome-control-center stopped working I tried to connect an external monitor directly with xrandr over the command line which worked fine on my old system. However, it had no effect this time and my touchpad stopped working as a result. This is all weird...
[15:47] <siwica> Ah, interestingly enough it workes with sudo.
[15:47] <ioria> ha
[15:47] <ioria> permission issue, probably
[15:48] <siwica> Ok, I will further investigate
[15:48] <siwica> However there is still the problem with the not working touchpad
[15:48] <siwica> Which in a weired way was caused by me running xrandr
[15:50] <siwica> Ok, I klicked a few menu items on the control-center (after I got it running with sudo) and it segfaults again
[15:51] <siwica> Can't even start it with sudo now
[15:56] <wolfram> Hello, I have a text file whose contents is like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DkTCqvDzZY/ - represents a sorted list of certain events that I would like to make a chart for. Each event happened only once for a given date. I am looking for a program that can plot it to give an overview on what dates such events occurred. I.e. read in all dates and assume X axis is a calendar really.
[15:56] <wolfram> Could you please recommend anything? Thanks.
[16:01] <siwica> This is extremly frustrating. Never on Windows had I have the problems I am having with Ubuntu/Gnome.
[16:03] <wolfram> siwica: What sort of problems?
[16:04] <wolfram> siwica: It goes the other way around too, I find Windows unbearable after 15 years with Linux only.
[16:05] <siwica> A segfaulting gnome-control-center and a non-working touchpad caused by running xrandr
[16:05] <siwica> On an almost fresh 20.10 install
[16:05] <loxie> i second that motion wolfram...siwica how long you been using ubuntu vs windows
[16:05] <wolfram> Oh wow, are you not running a stable release?
[16:06] <LordChaos> siwica: please create another user, login with that user and see if gnome-control-center segfaults again.
[16:06] <LordChaos> siwica: what hardware are you running 20.10 on?
[16:07] <siwica> LordChaos: A brand new Lenovo laptop
[16:08] <LordChaos> siwica: Am I supposed to guess which one?
[16:10] <ogra> LordChaos, how dare you to come to #ubuntu without bringing your crystal ball !
[16:10] <leftyfb> wolfram: awk "/$event/ {print $1}" /path/to/file
[16:11] <LordChaos> ogra: sorry for that, lost mine a few weeks ago when I installed Arch
[16:11] <siwica> LordChaos: Lenovo Legion 5 17IMH05
[16:11] <ogra> LordChaos, well, i hope you wished for a new one for chrstmas then 😉
[16:12] <siwica> A question about hardware can be answered on many levels of abtraction. Didn't know what exactly the question was aiming at.
[16:13] <siwica> brb
[16:13] <wolfram> The guy is frustrated, no real point in talking until he cools off, I can understand it.
[16:14] <wolfram> Anyway leftyfb, I am not sure, is that going to create a chart?
[16:15] <leftyfb> wolfram: a chart, no. It'll grab the date from all instances of $event though
[16:16] <wolfram> leftyfb: Thanks, but I already have the data and just need to create a chart.
[16:16] <leftyfb> wolfram: libreoffice has the ability to create a calendar. Maybe you can write a script to write the events to that
[16:17] <wolfram> siwica: Are you cooled off? Is everything fine now?
[16:17] <siwica> Just tested gnome-control-center with another (unprivileged) user. It worked until I entered "display settings", that it segfaulted.
[16:17] <siwica> *then
[16:18] <siwica> From then on it segfaults on every startup just like before.
[16:19] <siwica> wolfram: No, I have no working touchpad, no working gnome-control-center and can't connect external monitors. Also wasted more than a day on this already.
[16:19] <leftyfb> siwica: did you try installing/enabling proprietary video drivers for your chipset? Looks like nvidia
[16:19] <LordChaos> siwica: do you have an i5 + 1650ti in that laptop?
[16:19] <siwica> I hope my frustration is a bit understandable.
[16:19] <siwica> LordChaos: Yes.
[16:21] <LordChaos> siwica: did you install drivers for that nvidia card?
[16:21] <siwica> LordChaos: I think I did not. But I am not totally sure.
[16:22] <siwica> How do I find out which video card drivers are installed?
[16:22] <leftyfb> siwica: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[16:27] <coconut> siwica, you can see that with "apt list --installed xserver-xorg-video-*"
[16:27] <siwica> Ok, I seem to have used Nouveau (which I suppose is the dafault)
[16:27] <siwica> I am in the process of switching to nvidia-driver-455
[16:28] <wolfram> siwica: Here is my understanding of the things. If I want for things to simply work, I use an LTS release. In particular, I use Mate LTS. This is a paragon of stability. If I were interested in actually getting involved in the development, at least by submitting issues like yours, I would use a non-LTS release. But I am not interested in it, I have no time for that. Hence I use an LTS.
[16:28] <wolfram> siwica: Essentially, people supporting you are not workers in a company and creators of open-source software spend their free time so that you can benefit from it.
[16:29] <siwica> Well, I am aware that non-LTS versions are a bit more error-prone. But I suspected very essential things to just work.
[16:29] <wolfram> siwica: But you expect it based on what?
[16:29] <LordChaos> wolfram: this is not a discussion about LTS or non-LTS. I think we all can agree gnome-control-center shouldn't segfault on his laptop.
[16:30] <wolfram> LordChaos: I was directing the conversation in a broader direction to let the person understand the context.
[16:30] <wolfram> LordChaos: But let it be gnome-control-center only, great.
[16:31] <siwica> wolfram: Based on how it's advertised on the Ubuntu website. If one has to expect non-working touchpads, non-working control centers on a very basic setup, there should be a big fat warning.
[16:32] <LordChaos> siwica: can you try 'dconf reset -f /org/gnome/control-center' in a terminal, as a regualr user, to see if that helps?
[16:32] <wolfram> LordChaos: Ok, you have patience for that which I lack apparently :)
[16:32] <wolfram> Have a great day everyone.
[16:33] <siwica> LordChaos: I really appreciate your help, btw!
[16:34] <leftyfb> LordChaos: we've already determined a fresh user profile didn't resolve the issue. I would continue on with trying the proprietary driver
[16:37] <siwica> I will reboot now after installing the Nvidia drivers. brb.
[16:46] <siwica> Unfortunately installing (and activating) nvidia-driver-455 and rebooting did not resolve the issue
[16:50] <siwica> Hm. in software-properties-gtk it shows the driver as active, however running nvidia-setting only gives a blank screen and outputs "ERROR: NVIDIA driver is not loaded" to stderr
[16:52] <LordChaos> siwica: you're not running wayland by any chance are you?
[16:53] <siwica> Not that I know of
[16:54] <siwica> I am using awesomewm as a window-manager, though. However the control-center segfault does not depend on which window manager I am running.
[16:54] <LordChaos> siwica: not sure about that
[16:56] <ioria> siwica, please, login in the gnome-shell session and test it
[16:56] <siwica> ioria: I already did previously
[16:56] <siwica> Same problem.
[16:58] <ioria> siwica, might also be a bug related to glib2 ; the fix is downgrade it but i cannot recommend it; i suggest to boot the 20.10 livecd
[17:02] <LordChaos> siwica: if this happens on a fresh install of 20.10 using X11 & gnome-shell, you should file a bug
[17:05] <LordChaos> Have a nice evening everybody
[17:33] <alexandrdvorkin> i get from sudo ifup -v eth0 ifup unknown interface eth0
[17:37] <leftyfb> alexandrdvorkin: this is an ubuntu support channel. Please continue troubleshooting with the folks in #raspberrypi
[17:41] <drazin> https://pastebin.com/zNMz1DzB
[17:41] <drazin> can anyone pinpoint what caused these reboots?
[18:08] <lotuspsychje> drazin: wich kernel version is that happening on?
[18:59] <DocMors> is there a way to reinstall apt? my nephew apparently tried to uninstall ubuntu-keyring... now the box has some rather interesting issues.
[19:10] <EriC^^> DocMors: maybe by downloading the .deb file and using dpkg -i
[19:16] <DocMors> not flying, that was the first thing I tried. I'll have to work through all the dependencies I think :(
[19:20] <DocMors> OK got it. you need to download and install ubuntu-keyring manually first.
[19:21] <coconut> Why the history log in bash is not configured well when using multiple instances/tabs ?
[19:22] <coconut> It is not getting all in the history....
[19:23] <coconut> Wouldn't this be logic?
[19:30] <p0a> Hello
[19:30] <p0a> Does anyone use gnome tracker to keep track of their media files?
[19:40] <drazin> lotuspsychje: i'm on ubuntu 20.04
[19:41] <lotuspsychje> drazin: uname -a please
[19:41] <drazin> Linux Plex-HP-290 5.4.0-58-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 9 08:16:25 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[19:42] <lotuspsychje> drazin: ok, did you try to reproduce your issue on previous kernels?
[19:43] <drazin> i literally just installed this yesterday
[19:43] <drazin> hasnt made it through 48h without shutting down
[19:44] <drazin> i need to install windows to update the bios
[20:07] <tomreyn> drazin: journalctl -b | grep DMI:      yould tell you what your current bios versionis, and the very HP model.
[20:09] <tomreyn> to get rid of these "kernel: FS-Cache: [..]" messages, you can specify the NFS protocol version in fstab (in the mount options column, with e.g. "vers=4.1")

[20:39] <leibniz[m]> Is there a way to check how systemd or other stuff gonna be changed before sudo apt remove?
[20:40] <_Sym_> leibniz[m], you can do a dry run removal
[20:40] <leibniz[m]> _Sym_: I'm not following
[20:41] <leftyfb> leibniz[m]: can you explain what it is exactly you're trying to accomplish?
[20:41] <_Sym_> leibniz[m], I assume you mean that you want to remove something but you want to know what other packages will be affected
[20:42] <leibniz[m]> leftyfb: There is this program "dunst" that I want to build locally and add to path manually. (no make install). But I have installed it with apt in the past (an older version).
[20:42] <leibniz[m]> I want to know it what exactly did the apt version do
[20:42] <leibniz[m]> sometimes apt managed programs, insert stuff into systemd
[20:43] <_Sym_> leibniz[m], so try "apt-get source dunst" and read the debian rules
[20:44] <leibniz[m]> _Sym_: E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
[20:44] <_Sym_> you probably have to enable the source urls in apt
[20:44] <_Sym_> look in the updater settings
[20:46] <leibniz[m]> Did apt remove. Removing dunst (1.3.0-2) ... Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.3-2ubuntu0.1) ..
[20:46] <leibniz[m]> Can I assume it only removed the binary and its man pages?
[20:47] <_Sym_> it usually tells you how many packages are going to be removed.. and if it didn't say that, then it was just the one package.
[20:50] <leibniz[m]> _Sym_: yeah, I think if the package has messed with systemd, upon removing, it should have emitted stuff about it
[20:50] <kostkon> !info dunst
[20:54] <leibniz[m]> kostkon: _Sym_ I've added the binary to path. It seems this app should be always ran at startup.
[20:54] <leibniz[m]> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dunst/1.3.0-2
[20:54] <leibniz[m]> here is the original source. I think adding the bin to path was not enough
[20:58] <_Sym_> leibniz[m], no just adding it to the path will not add it to systemd
[20:58] <_Sym_> leibniz[m], look at systemctl
[20:59] <leibniz[m]> _Sym_: hmm..then why upon removing the package, it didn't say anything about removing stuff from systemd?
[20:59] <_Sym_> it just doesn't
[21:00] <leibniz[m]> _Sym_: Shouldn't the installation and uninstall process be mirrored.
[21:00] <Beeblebrox-BSD> Hi, custom rez for monitor question: 24" hdmi plugged in as joined display. GPU supports max 2560x1600_60, but laptop and external displays both set at 1920x1080_60. I would like higher rez on the external 24" monitor.
[21:00] <Beeblebrox-BSD> 'xrandr --output' command does not work even for gnome+Xorg login.
[21:01] <_Sym_> leibniz[m], any files added to systemd will just be removed on uninstall
[21:01] <leibniz[m]> _Sym_: silently?
[21:01] <_Sym_> yeah
[21:02] <_Sym_> so if you build it, then you could use systemctl to add it as a service
[21:03] <leibniz[m]> _Sym_: Or I can use my window manager's init script and call it there, no? I think it is better to not mess with systemd much
[21:04] <_Sym_> sure, you could do it different ways
[21:04] <_Sym_> systemctl is not that hard to use though
[21:08] <_Sym_> leibniz[m], I would extract the debian sources and use the .service file that comes with that
[21:08] <_Sym_> and google will show you were to place that file
[21:09] <_Sym_> or better yet, extract the debian sources for your package, update the source code, and rebuild the package
[21:10] <_Sym_> its always better to build debian packages than manually installing things
[21:33] <today911> hello all! I'd like a hand with gparted if anyone had some storage drive knowledge, please? :)
[21:39] <summonner> ask your question. don't ask to ask your question
[21:41] <today911> Right! does GParted do any kind of black-box logs? So that if anything goes wrong (ex. drive disconnects, power loss, etc) then the operation can continue from where it was cut off?
[21:43] <Beeblebrox-BSD> today911, I assume you're talking about a resize operation, and not initial partitioning?
[21:44] <Beeblebrox-BSD> The answer is still NO (AFAIK)
[21:46] <oerheks> as one should do resizing from a live session, logs are limited yes
[21:46] <today911> damn... is there any tool out there which would be able to search on the hard drive for a bigger portion of raw data and look to find it's duplicate? That way the partition move could be resumed I guess?
[21:46] <oerheks> and after power loss, resume is not possible, afaik
[21:48] <Beeblebrox-BSD> Always tar before resize. Or just use ZFS and be done with all that mess.
[21:49] <today911> Beeblebrox-BSD: tar before? Create an archive? Never used ZFS
[21:51] <Beeblebrox-BSD> $ tar -vf var_bck.tar /var
[21:55] <Beeblebrox-BSD> I got disconnected. '$ tar -cf var_bck.tar /var' will backup your files to othr location (usb stick for example). Never resize without backup.
[21:55] <Beeblebrox-BSD> "Never used ZFS" - Well, look it up...
[21:56] <Beeblebrox-BSD> seems freenode drops underscore characters in posts. I'll have to remember that...
[22:06] <rickard> I'm trying to debug a crash in a program from ubuntu package repo. How do I install sources so gdb will display them?
[22:07] <today911> Beeblebrox-BSD: thank you
[22:07] <Beeblebrox-BSD> NP
[22:07] <jeremy31> rickard: download source code for the package?
[22:07] <rickard> How do I do that
[22:08] <jeremy31> rickard: enable source code repos in Software & Updates, then refresh and in terminal do>  apt-get source <package>
[22:14] <rickard> Thanks I was missing the step of enabling the repos
[22:29] <today911> thanks all, I'm out for now
[23:06] <Rexodus> I use XFCE4. I have 2 monitors + 1 TV. The TV is yellow and I can't do anything there. My mousecursor shows up but is useless. The 2 monitors work fine. I use 2 nvidia cards. A GTX1650 and a GTX750ti. The TV is plugged in the 750ti's first HDMI. The monitors in the GTX1650's HDMI and DVI-ports. Screenshot nvidia-settings https://snipboard.io/VGDIRT.jpg. Any suggestions how to get this to work?
[23:37] <garrettkajmowicz> Can someone point out to me the difference between the two image types here:
[23:37] <garrettkajmowicz> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-legacy-server/releases/20.04.1/release/
[23:37] <garrettkajmowicz> The description text (at least for AMD64) appears identical.
[23:40] <guiverc> Rexodus, you should provide release details (a mostly-GTK2 XFCE4 is still on-topic, along with all GTK3 releases so XFCE4 is vague)
[23:41] <guiverc> garrettkajmowicz, what two ISOs are you asking about?
[23:42] <garrettkajmowicz> guiverc: I see "Legacy server install image" as a row header twice.
[23:43] <guiverc> provide specifics; I see multiple architectures too and it maybe the architecture that has you confused
[23:43] <garrettkajmowicz> The first time with x86_64 and ARMv8, the second time with x86_64, ARMv8, PowerPC64, and SystemZ
[23:44] <garrettkajmowicz> As rendered by Chromium: https://imgur.com/a/zmHTfKQ
[23:46] <guiverc> sorry I was looking at bottom list of files; rarely look at top.. I think it's left over details from prior releases where two install options were available (standard ISO & alternate ISO; debian-install & subiquity, now only subiquity is offered for later releases).  the links look the same
[23:50] <garrettkajmowicz> Oh, good. I was worried I was missing something important.
