[01:29] <davido_> Where does gnome cheese save its config? I'm trying to figure out why it always reverts to the wrong cam.
[01:31] <oerheks> Normally in ~/.config/<app>  ... but Cheese stores its configuration data in the dconf configuration system rather than in plain files.
[01:31] <oerheks> install dconf-editor for this
[01:31] <oerheks> !info dconf-editor
[01:31] <davido_> Thanks.
[01:33] <davido_> Funny. So in dconf-editor org/gnome/cheese/camera it displays "HD Pro Webcam C920", but as soon as I start cheese, I see the dconf-editor setting immediately flip over to "Integrated Webcam HD"
[01:33] <davido_> Sounds like a bug in Cheese, to not respect the dconf setting.
[01:35] <oerheks> does your laptop have a FN+camera key?
[01:36] <oerheks> maybe GUVCviewer does a better job
[01:37] <oerheks> !info guvcview
[01:37] <davido_> Thanks, I'll give that a try.
[01:39] <oerheks> it surely makes ~/.config guvcview2 folder..
[01:39] <davido_> yeah, that seems preferable. Easier to see what's going on.

[01:46] <oerheks> Universe, i told you yesterday https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=freeipa-server
[01:46] <tomreyn> not in current release
[01:47] <tomreyn> (not the server anyways, it was dropped off debian, i think)
[01:49] <oerheks> oh oke https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeipa/+bug/1875114
[01:49] <oerheks> XV8, ^^
[01:50] <davido_> The guvcview suggestion was great. Thanks again.
[01:55] <XV8> oerheks thanks, I guess that makes sense why it's not in the repos atm
[02:22] <gotacoldagain> hey guys i have a bluetooth problem-when i plug my dongle in it is not showing in the settings->bluetooth tab-how can i tackle this via terminal to see whats wrong i had changed the removable media tab to run software and open files-at a loss not able to turn on off airplane mode just says plug in a dongle but i have rebooted and unplugged and re-inserted the dongle-it work yesterday but was intermittently not showing up-please help
[02:23] <gotacoldagain> ubuntu 20.04 updated to the max
[02:56] <conjo> hi all id like to know what the hell was wrong with my bluetooth can anyone help me to get this information from the journalctl
[02:58] <conjo> is anyone awake atm or am i in here alone

[03:02] <Xano_> Hiya! How do I find the /dev/... mount path for a device appearing in the lsusb output?
[03:04] <conjo> lsblk
[03:04] <Bashing-om> Xano_: ' mount ' willk show the path of all mounted file systems.
[03:04] <Bashing-om> will* fat finger !
[03:04] <conjo> or you could open disks or gparted
[03:05] <conjo> select the disk in question and it will show the path on the page -somewhere next to device
[03:06] <Xano_> It's a peripheral, not a storage device
[03:06] <Xano_> I can see it in lsusb, but the software to use it needs the /dev/... path
[03:08] <conjo> idk sorry Bashing-om whats up man!
[03:08] <conjo> hope your well
[03:10] <oerheks> udevadm info -h help
[03:11] <conjo> hola lotuspsychje and oerheks
[03:16] <Bashing-om> conjo: I am a good here as can be expected, thnaks - as to to /dev - I would also expect the log file "/var/log/syslog" to show the device when inserted.
[03:17] <Xano_> Bashing-om, That did indeed show the device name, thanks!
[03:18] <Bashing-om> zakame: \o/
[03:35] <conjo> wanting to learn about logs|i think i have to use journalctrl + "something" is this page relevant still?
[03:35] <conjo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles
[03:36] <conjo> just dont want to read the whole thing only to find out systemd has made this page redundant?
[03:39] <Bashing-om> Conradish006: Yup stilkl valid - also with systemd there is now the journal. See too: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-journalctl-to-view-and-manipulate-systemd-logs as but one reference.
[04:09] <BugzBunny> Hello. I'm trying to install python-apt on Ubuntu groovy and I'm bit confused. This link https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/groovy/+package/python-apt states that the package was release. But https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-apt&searchon=names says otherwise, and I can't seem to find history information on this package?
[04:10] <Bashing-om> !info python-apt groovy
[04:12] <BugzBunny> Looking here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-apt, states there was a security release on 2020-12-10, if I'm not mistaken, for Groovy yes?
[04:12] <oerheks> as linux moves to python3, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+package/python3-apt
[04:13] <BugzBunny> Ahh, looking at the packages, there's not python-apt package that was built.
[04:13] <BugzBunny> oerheks: K
[04:14] <BugzBunny> If you wanted to continue to use Python2.x with python-apt? Use a previous version of Ubuntu?
[04:14] <oerheks> one could install python2, but what is the use?
[04:16] <BugzBunny> There are some applications I'm currently using have support only for Python2.x that require python-apt 2.x bindings. This isn't critical however.
[05:57] <kill-animals> `Package python3.8-venv is not available, but is referred to by another package.` A little help? Im on 20.04
[07:22] <Mystified1234> hi, i've kind of screwed up things
[07:22] <Mystified1234> https://dpaste.org/Ttnf
[07:22] <Mystified1234> using testing of grrovy 20.10
[07:22] <Mystified1234> how can i get updates to function properly again.
[07:22] <Mystified1234> thanks
[07:23] <Mystified1234> "groovy"
[07:24] <oerheks> Mystified1234, maybe that AU mirror is way behind, go into update settings, select *main* as server
[07:25] <Mystified1234> thanks
[07:28] <Mystified1234> oerheks: which is the main server
[08:00] <StonkBread> test
[08:12] <Mystified1234> how can i get rid of this http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates Release' does not have a Release file
[08:12] <Mystified1234> likewise with eon-security
[08:14] <geirha> !eoan
[08:15] <Mystified1234> yes I've removed them from the lists
[08:15] <geirha> You'll need to follow the eol instructions; switch to oldreleases repo, then upgrade to a supported version
[08:16] <Mystified1234> im currently using groovy 20.04 testing
[08:20] <geirha> you mean 20.10? then it's odd there are eoan entries in your sources.list
[08:20] <Mystified1234> yes
[08:20] <Mystified1234> but i've removed them
[08:36] <ducasse> do you get those errors now that you've removed them?
[08:41] <JustLandedOnMars> hi
[08:42] <JustLandedOnMars> I just recently found out about command chattr, so I tryed command: chattr "+a" file and now I can't delete "file" even with root, so how is that possible ?
[08:42] <JustLandedOnMars> I was thinking if it can be used to prank someone, because of I didn't knew about that command and when I couldn't delete file even with root privileges I would think something is broken and I need to reformat partition
[08:43] <oerheks> just use the -a option. chattr -a <filename> ??
[08:43] <oerheks> man chattr
[08:57] <Mystified1234> hey guys is there a way to identify what packages a using a ppa
[08:58] <Mystified1234> im having problem with eon-updates & eon security
[08:58] <Mystified1234> 'http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates Release' does not have a Release file
[09:00] <oerheks> yeah, i just read back, oean is EOL, dead, upgrade please
[09:00] <oerheks> !eolupgrade
[09:21] <kristian_> I was having problems with my onboard bluetooth connection and because I read a BT dongle can help I bought one. Before I do anything wrong I wanted to ask here what I should do now.
[09:21] <kristian_> Just plug it in? How does ubuntu know which bluetooth to chose? o.O
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> kristian_: it used to be gnome built-in bluetooth managing devices, but i think they recently changed things to blueman-mechanism service and bluetooth service
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> kristian_: if your system is up to date, you should now see a BT indicator
[11:03] <unixbsd> hello
[11:03] <unixbsd> I would like to download and to install ubuntu. how to download it over FTP ? I have only FTP on my machine. no http, no web browser
[11:04] <unixbsd> it there ftp.ubuntu.org or something?
[11:05] <tarzeau> unixbsd: curl? wget?
[11:05] <tarzeau> wget https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
[11:06] <tarzeau> lftp can also do http/https, so can links2
[11:06] <unixbsd> ftp ftp.nluug.nl   <--- seems fine
[11:07] <unixbsd> man, you should think about ftp as well on your server
[11:07] <unixbsd> apt-get install proftpd
[11:08] <locsmif_work> smh
[11:08] <unixbsd> nope, on the ftp of nluug.nl there is no mirror of ubuntu
[11:08] <unixbsd> no idea where to find ubuntu ... :(
[11:11] <Squishy> unixbsd, you've already been told how to do this. Read what tarzeau said above.
[11:11] <guiverc> unixbsd, i know debian announced dropping FTP, I'd assume ubuntu did as well as it's rarely used these days
[11:12] <unixbsd> I asked for ftp, not http. lftp is http.
[11:14] <guiverc> unixbsd, try ftp.ubuntu.com
[11:15] <unixbsd> I just fount it at same time
[11:15] <unixbsd> ncftp ftp.ubuntu.com   looks to work. wow super !
[11:16] <unixbsd> thank you
[11:22] <Yahav> Heya, i'm looking for a VNC solution that will allow the actuall system users to login (with the same port, not a port for each user). Is there such thing?
[11:25] <Squishy> Yahav, What about https://www.nomachine.com/ ? Would that fit your use-case?
[11:30] <FENG> awesome :)
[11:32] <vlm> something keeps filling up my pagecache i think is the name for it,the buffer/cache from command free -mh is always so high and my free memory is way to little,after i drop cache with "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" its normal again,is there anyway i could configure ubuntu to not use as much ram for pagecache?
[11:34] <vlm> im not sure but it maybe started after i setup my zfs raid,though i did set arc_max size in conf file so should be ok?
[11:53] <vlm> seems ive might been looking at output of free -mh the wrong way, seems available ram is what to track and not free,so available should be available for applications already
[12:44] <tomreyn> Yahav: x11vnc is what you're probably looking for., works with X11 only, but the default login manager, gdm, defaults to wayland. set (uncomment, remove "#" character) WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/gdm.conf to make it use X.
[12:46] <Yahav> is it better than xrdp when it comes to performance?
[12:47] <tomreyn> rdp is a service implementation for a reverse engineered protocol, as far as i know. chances are it's not perfect. but i have no hard facts on performance.
[12:47] <tomreyn> *xrdp
[12:48] <tomreyn> vnc is the de facto standard protocol for GUI remote access on unixoid systems
[12:51] <Yahav> tomreyn i see. does x11vnc works with gnome? will it allow concurrent connections from different users each to his own env?
[12:53] <ennozdd> I am running ubuntu 20.04, I have a vga monitor and  my graphics card has a dvi-d port. So I bought an adaptor and plugged it in but external  monitor is not detected. xrandr says dvi-d 0 disconnected
[12:54] <tomreyn> Yahav: yes and yes, i would think. but have not tried myself. you will likely find a bunch of guides on this online.
[12:58] <tomreyn> ennozdd: vga is an analogous connection / protocol, whereas dvi is digital, these really differ a lot. if the monitor is vga only, you should replace it (it must be *very* old, too) and get one with a digital input instead. digital-to-digital adapters usually work fine.
[13:03] <ennozdd> tomreyn: yes it's a very old monitor. I even bought an adaptor to use it. Is it a technical thing I cannot use my analog monitor on a digital port?
[13:03] <unixbsd> I try to install ubuntu with debootstrap on a debian machine. the script /usr.... debootstrap with groovy (20.10) is missing. where to wget this script?
[13:07] <tomreyn> ennozdd: there could be a chance you'd find an adapter that'll work for you, i'm just saying i wouldn't waste time on trying to get this to work (unless you have a graphics card with vga-out)
[13:09] <tomreyn> unixbsd: https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy-updates/all/debootstrap/filelist
[13:09] <tomreyn> i.e. not missing
[13:10] <unixbsd> I got it: I created the script.
[13:11] <unixbsd> I have made one myself http://termbin.com/frvk  i.e. copying xenial script and replaced it by groovy. it does debootstrap on this debian machine.
[13:19] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:21] <Yahav> Yeah, i'm having difficulties installing x11vnc, it seems like it requires an actual display or something.
[13:27] <unixbsd> apt-get install x11vnc; export DISPLAY=:0 ; x11vnc ; enjoy
[13:36] <Yahav> unixbsd: nop, didn't work:
[13:36] <Yahav> xauth:  file /root/.Xauthority does not exist
[13:36] <Yahav> -auth guess: failed for display=':0'
[13:44] <unixbsd> the installer crashed. groovy.
[13:45] <unixbsd> groovy cannot install on sdc. :(
[13:45] <unixbsd> it seems to come from grub. maybe you should go for lilo to make sure that ubuntu works. people wont be capable, commonly to use debootstrap to install ubuntu.
[13:46] <Timmy> How can I make sure that a mirror is not manipulating content of its packages ?
[13:47] <tomreyn> by using apt to download these packages, because it will also verify the gpg signatures
[13:48] <Timmy> but where does these gpg signatures come from? Are they cached from a main server or they are also downloaded from same mirror?
[13:49] <tomreyn> they are made by whoever put together the original package archive
[13:49] <tomreyn> apt is configured to trust some signatories by default, unknown signatories would need to be manually trusted by you
[13:51] <tomreyn> so if some mirror admin were to crate a fake signature on a package, they'd need to do so with the original archive admin key, or you'd notice because then they'd need to use a different gpg key to sign, and apt would point this out.
[13:52] <tomreyn> i.e. apt would not download and install such packages and warn you that they are signed with an unknown (non-trusted) signature
[13:57] <Yahav> tomreyn, can you explain the part about gdm again please? i think the issues i'm having are related to that.
[14:01] <Timmy> tomreyn: ahah, thanks, that was very clear to understand
[14:01] <Timmy> I give you 11 from 10
[14:03] <tomreyn> Yahav: this messgae suggests you were running something as the root user:   xauth:  file /root/.Xauthority does not exist
[14:03] <tomreyn> you should not run anything related to X as root, at least not when doing gdm + gnome-shell (current default ubuntu setup)
[14:04] <Yahav> i was trying to run x11vnc as root
[14:04] <Yahav> sudo x11vnc -auth guess -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pwd -rfbport 3029 -shared
[14:04] <unixbsd> apt to get legacy. legacy is great. apt-get install xserver-xorg-legacy   will help with auth and permsÃ
[14:10] <Yahav> running as non-root result in the same output
[14:12] <unixbsd> how to find the codename in /etc of ubuntu?
[14:13] <tomreyn> /etc/os-release
[14:14] <unixbsd> su does not work
[14:14] <unixbsd> how to access to fdisk ?
[14:14] <unixbsd> fdisk command not found
[14:15] <tomreyn> oni ubuntu, use sudo to run tasks as superuser
[14:15] <tomreyn> not su
[14:15] <unixbsd> I did debootstrap
[14:15] <unixbsd> I have removed * in shadow file.
[14:15] <unixbsd> I have full acess, as regular #. where did you put fdisk?
[14:16] <tomreyn> you seem to make assumptions about fdisk being installed by debootstrap.
[14:16] <unixbsd> it is not by default?
[14:17] <rapids> tomreyn, you can still login as root using "su -" also on Ubuntu
[14:18] <tomreyn> sure, just not the recommended approach
[14:19] <tomreyn> unixbsd: i do not know whether or not debootstrap installs fdisk by default, but you can inspect its source code, which will tell
[14:19] <tomreyn> there are other, similar utilities it may have installed. cfdisk, sgdisk, parted
[14:20] <unixbsd> that's funny, there is nothing at all.
[14:21] <tomreyn> Yahav: so the notable difference between gnome (and gdm) compared to other desktops such as kde (and sddm) is that it runs as a restricted user. your x11vnc should probably also run as this restricted user.
[14:21] <tomreyn> unixbsd: why are you using debootstrap rather than a supported installation method?
[14:22] <unixbsd> because grooby iso ubuntu cannot install ubuntu onto the regular pendrive.
[14:22] <unixbsd> usually I install on the pendrive, but during instlalation, it fails.
[14:25] <tomreyn> generally, this would work. maybe your usb stick is special (broken?)
[14:27] <unixbsd> it works on debian and devuan, and all linux. it must come from the installer. I did /dev/sdc and with sdc1 with ext4, very classic.
[14:27] <tomreyn> fdisk is "Priority: important". debootstrap installs packages with "Priority: important" by default. so you should have fdisk installed
[14:28] <tomreyn> it installs to /sbin/fdisk
[14:29] <unixbsd> I will have to add more stuffs to debootstrap to get more things. this is up to come: debootstrap --no-check-gpg groovy --include=netbase,debootstrap,gcc,clang,make,login,passwd,wpasupplicant  .  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[14:30] <tomreyn> Yahav: have you tried this? it looks like it could work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#x11vnc
[14:30] <tomreyn> "Have x11vnc start automatically via systemd in any environment (Vivid+)" is what you'd want
[14:32] <tomreyn> --no-check-gpg seems wrong to me
[14:33] <tomreyn> dunno why you need gcc + clang + make, but you'll know.
[14:34] <tomreyn> unixbsd: ^
[14:34] <unixbsd> because gcc is broken
[14:34] <unixbsd> clang gives bins to compile  i..e stdio.h
[14:36] <tomreyn> so "gcc is broken", that's why you need that *and* clang?
[14:37] <tomreyn> well, you'll work it out.
[14:38] <unixbsd> it has the link to add the stdio.h into it.
[14:39] <unixbsd> there are some bugs into gcc, but clang is more reliable.
[14:39] <unixbsd> With arrays especially.
[14:44] <unixbsd> ah yeah
[14:44] <unixbsd> there is no clang into the archive.ubuntu ... ;) bit weird?
[14:44] <unixbsd> Why not clang? ubuntu has only GCC?
[14:46] <unixbsd> never heard of clang? this is very popular compiler.
[14:52] <tomreyn> unixbsd: you're into quick jumping to conclusions, wfrom what i can tell. clang is in ubuntu.
[14:52] <tomreyn> (not in main/restricted, though, it's community maintained)
[14:55] <unixbsd> ah ok
[15:21] <LordChaos> Hi all, somehow systemd (journald) only keeps logs since the last boot. I can't remember this behaviour and I haven't changed anything in /etc/systemd/journald.conf
[15:22] <LordChaos> I'm on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen6 by the way, running 20.04 fully updated
[15:23] <LordChaos> I've changed 2 parameters in journald.conf:
[15:23] <LordChaos> SystemMaxUse=2G
[15:23] <LordChaos> SystemMaxFileSize=32M
[15:23] <LordChaos> All other settings are on default
[15:25] <LordChaos> systemd-journald[561]: Runtime Journal (/run/log/journal/f3649d2d85f94007917f1d1ea4b33418) is 8.0M, max 159.0M, 151.0M free.
[15:25] <LordChaos> Not sure where 159M is based upon.
[15:31] <unixbsd> does ubuntu still use /etc/network/interfaces? it seems to not be read at boot any longer.

[16:10] <bdonnahue2> hey folks. I am tyring to install mariadb but apt is giving me a problem
[16:10] <bdonnahue2>  mariadb-server : Depends: mariadb-server-10.3 (>= 1:10.3.25-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
[16:10] <bdonnahue2> anyone know what this means?
[16:15] <unixbsd> it means that your sources.list is broken or it comes from package deb/list.
[16:48] <basenode> guys i've plugged a 4k tv into my laptop over hdmi, why is my mouse (and everything) slightly laggy on the tv?
[17:00] <xtragreen> Fresh install of 20.04.5 is broken
[17:00] <luna_> 20.4.5 ? is that even released
[17:01] <luna_> i tough we where on 20.04.1
[17:01] <xtragreen> my mistake I was trying to burn 18.04.5
[17:01] <luna_> oh
[17:02] <xtragreen> brasero no longer can detect blank dvds
[17:03] <xtragreen> desktop file manager had not been started, yet it always mounts the blank dvds, preventing brasero from accessing the dvd
[17:04] <xtragreen> Is their a way to fix this ? thx
[17:06] <xtragreen> Is their a way to keep gnome file manager from automatically running on 20.04 ?
[17:07] <xtragreen> If brasero no longer works in 20.04, is there a dvd burner app that will?
[17:08] <luna_> good question i mostly just burn isos with wodim but maybe someone else here uses brasero
[17:09] <xtragreen> wodim is new to me. is it a stock app in 20.04 ?
[17:09] <luna_> don't remembered if i installed it via apt or if its there
[17:09] <luna_> *remember
[17:18] <xtragreen> yet another worthless distro !!!
[17:24] <iferc> 👋
[17:45] <unixbsd> the only way to install groovy ubuntu is to erase the whole disk.
[17:45] <unixbsd> man, it needs to get improved in next release.
[17:55] <leftyfb> unixbsd: I do not think that is true
[17:58] <unixbsd> I have tested many times.
[17:58] <unixbsd> sdc2 or sda7 wont get grub to install.
[17:59] <leftyfb> unixbsd: ok, now you are describing an issue completely beyond saying " the only way to install groovy ubuntu is to erase the whole disk"
[18:00] <leftyfb> unixbsd: what you should have said is "when I try to install Ubuntu 20.10, I'm having trouble installing GRUB to sdc2 or sda7"
[18:01] <leftyfb> unixbsd: it sounds like the issue is surrounding your pretty specific non-standard configuration and not the releases inability to install any way other than to wipe the disk
[18:02] <leftyfb> unixbsd: feel free to go into detail about your unique configuration(hardware, distro's, partitions, etc) and what it is you're trying to accomplish (boot order, which distro's, etc)
[18:59] <SynfulAck> anyone use discord and when you go to copy an image to a channel it prints the file location? drag and drop is the workaround. Not sure if its related to installing it via snap.
[19:04] <squirrel> i have a noname tablet that i want to try to put ubuntu on, should i go with ubuntu desktop or ubuntu touch?
[19:05] <leftyfb> !touch | squirrel
[19:06] <squirrel> right, so which one should i go with
[19:07] <leftyfb> squirrel: as the post says, you you ask in #ubports
[19:07] <leftyfb> squirrel: it's not an officially supported platform anymore.
[19:08] <squirrel> i don't think the post say that
[19:08] <squirrel> but i'll ask
[19:09] <leftyfb> " Support and discussion in #ubports"
[19:10] <squirrel> well at this point i don't need support or discussion of ubuntu touch, i need choose the system to try
[19:14] <Onepamopa> guys HELP
[19:14] <Onepamopa> how to undo "rm -f *"
[19:14] <leftyfb> Onepamopa: you restore from backup
[19:15] <leftyfb> Onepamopa: you could try some data recovery tools, but they're not guaranteed to work: https://itsfoss.com/recover-deleted-files-linux/
[19:27] <SynfulAck> also why is it you cant do `sudo apt search *something*` . get a regex compilation error. Just wanted to search everything with that string
[19:27] <leftyfb> pipe it to grep with the regex
[19:28] <leftyfb> also https://stackoverflow.com/a/38955470
[19:29] <SynfulAck> leftyfb, thx, not sure how to pipe it tho
[19:30] <leftyfb> SynfulAck: *something* is not valid bash regex
[19:31] <leftyfb> SynfulAck: searching for "something" will do what you think "*something*" will do
[19:32] <SynfulAck> leftyfb, i get two different results doing it that way
[19:33] <leftyfb> SynfulAck: can you be more specific?
[19:33] <SynfulAck> sudo apt search gping* vs searching "gping"
[19:51] <linext> what's the last version of ubuntu to support i686?
[20:00] <leftyfb> linext: technically, 19.04 has a netboot installer and 32bit packages. I THINK 19.10 had some packages but not the netboot installer. 18.04 is the last supported release with the netboot installer.
[20:03] <leftyfb> linext: 17.10 was the last release to have a server iso installer. 17.04 was the last release to have a 32bit desktop iso installer. Neither of those are supported. 16.04 is the last supported release to have a 32bit desktop and server iso installer
[20:03] <linext> is it possible to i386 to a USB flash drive?
[20:05] <leftyfb> linext: As I said, 16.04 is the last supported version to have the iso needed to install from usb ... unless you are capable of building your own usb installer with the 18.04 netboot files(unlikely)
[20:05] <SynfulAck> leftyfb, oh you know what. I think this feature is already built into `apt search`
[20:05] <leftyfb> linext: you could install 16.04 and upgrade to 18.04. You'll be stuck with 18.04
[20:10] <linext> i just want to test xonotic on linux to see if it's working on a old laptop
[20:10] <linext> the laptop is xp era
[20:11] <leftyfb> linext: why bother? 32bit is an unsupported architecture
[20:32] <squirrel> speaking of 32 bit, what's the closest to ubuntu (in terms of support) can i get for a system with 32 bit uefi?
[20:37] <jeremy31> squirrel: I think there is some hack to get grub on 32 bit UEFI
[20:39] <squirrel> i looked it up and it sounds way too complicated
[20:46] <garrettkajmowicz> How do I get 20.04 to install overtop of an existing installation using MD RAID without deleting the existing partitions? When I use the legacy installer, it recognizes that there are raid partitions present, but doesn't present them as a unit for the installation target. Going into the RAID menu provides only the options to create or delete RAID
[20:46] <garrettkajmowicz> devices, not use an existing one.
[20:58] <genii> garrettkajmowicz: If you enter one of the other available terminals during install by ctrl-alt-F2 ( or F3) you can manually insert the raid kernel driver required ( raid0, raid1, raid10, or raid456)  and then switch back to installer before it gets to the detecting of disks
[21:01] <garrettkajmowicz> genii: The md device is shown (/dev/md-127 in this case for some reason). Yet it never shows up in the list. Do I also need the raid driver if the md device is already assembled?
[21:08] <garrettkajmowicz> I'm going to disconnect and try (system to upgrade is my firewall/server device)
[21:34] <jeremy31> Is there a way to add a command like "setpcie -s 02:00.0 COMMAND=0x02" to Grub?
[21:58] <tomreyn> jeremy31: what is "setpcie" a command to? to grub? or is this a command you'd run on a booted linux system?
[21:58] <tomreyn> can't find anything about it
[21:59] <tomreyn> maybe you mean "setpci"?
[22:00] <jeremy31> tomreyn: it is setpci
[22:00] <tomreyn> so i guess this needs a booted linux
[22:00] <jeremy31> tomreyn: there is a setpci.mod in /boot/grub/...
[22:01] <tomreyn> oh i msee
[22:01] <jeremy31> tomreyn: something like in https://askubuntu.com/a/1152648/300665
[22:02] <tomreyn> yes, that's what i'd assume then, too
[22:02] <tomreyn> just a command on a separate line on a grub menu entry
[22:03] <tomreyn> or tather before the menu
[22:03] <tomreyn> *rather
[22:03] <jeremy31> Seems to be an issue with Lenovo E41-25 and ath10k_pci and memory allocation
[22:04] <tomreyn> whats the issue?
[22:05] <jeremy31> tomreyn: this bug shows the issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1904860
[22:06] <tomreyn> hmm failed to iomap, ok
[22:07] <tomreyn> "ALSO I HAVE ATTACHED MANY THINGS - PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!!! :-("
[22:07] <tomreyn> and attached lshw only
[22:10] <jeremy31> tomreyn: this is another one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872055
[22:10] <jeremy31> Expired but it still happens
[22:12] <jeremy31> pci 0000:02:00.0: BAR 0: no space for [mem size 0x00200000 64bit] seems to be the main issue
[22:13] <tomreyn> 19.10 would be eol, but the other report looks like it's probably still a problem. it just got closed for lack of logs
[22:14] <tomreyn> maybe reopen and use apport-collect or, better, file a new one using ubuntu-bug, then add textual reference to the other ones.
[22:15] <tomreyn> but then you know all of this- ;-)
[22:16] <jeremy31> I am working with another person on a very similar issue, booting 5.10.2 doesn't work, supposedly the setpci command would work and I figure it might work better in grub
[22:18] <tomreyn> i suspect what you set there in grub may not last for linux
[22:20] <jeremy31> Most of what I find involves Nvidia, thanks for your thoughts
[22:23] <tomreyn> Good luck working it out!
[22:23] <jeremy31> Might be beating my head against the wall
[22:50] <CarlFK> gorilla, how do I downgrade make to focal's 4.2 version?
[23:37] <stephenmac98> Hey guys. I have a user "stephen" who has access to the shutdown command locally, without sudo, because of /etc/shutdown.allow, but the same user is not able to call shutdown over ssh. How do I enable access to shutdown over ssh?
[23:43] <summonner> just add the user to visudo and make the command explicit as their only sudo command available
[23:44] <summonner> make sure you don't make it NOPASSWD - that would be a bad idea
