| Bashing-om | !minimal | dman777 Much easier to build up than to tear down: | 00:52 |
| ubottu | dman777 Much easier to build up than to tear down:: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:52 |

| ExcessiveAggro | Hi All. I'm in a bit of a pickle but I feel like there has to be an easy out. I have a default install of 20.04 and I accidentally deleted my first partition on the drive and now the system is non-bootable. I'm on a live USB disk now and I can see all my data however I need to fix that first partition. I assumed it was SWAP since it was only | 05:06 |
| ExcessiveAggro | 500M | 05:06 |
| ExcessiveAggro | Any ideas on how to determine what that old partition was... and how to get this up and running again? | 05:06 |
| Speiros | Swap makes sense, but no guarantees. Can you flag the drive as bootable? | 05:07 |
| Speiros | Using Gparted or something? | 05:07 |
| ExcessiveAggro | how do i go about doing that | 05:07 |
| ExcessiveAggro | ok let me try gparted | 05:07 |
| Speiros | Be careful with your data though. | 05:07 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I'm OK with the data being lost... just tryign to avoid a reinstall | 05:07 |
| Speiros | Also look for your home drive. | 05:08 |
| Speiros | Okay. | 05:08 |
| ExcessiveAggro | home drive is there | 05:08 |
| Speiros | Okay cool. | 05:08 |
| Bashing-om | ExcessiveAggro: 500M == EFI boot partition ? | 05:08 |
| ExcessiveAggro | looks like the entire file system is here... just appears to be missing this 500M partition... Bashing it could be yes | 05:08 |
| ExcessiveAggro | is there a way to recreate it if its a 500M EFI partition? | 05:09 |
| ExcessiveAggro | Bashing-om that may be it because the system talks about now boot partitions when it comes up. | 05:10 |
| Bashing-om | ExcessiveAggro: If it is the EFI partition - I would think that it can be re-recreated - as I am not EFI litterate others advise here will be the better, | 05:11 |
| ExcessiveAggro | let me do some google on this new info | 05:11 |
| Speiros | Yeah, not sure on that myself. I can choose EFI or not in the bios, but not sure about other things. | 05:12 |
| Bashing-om | Speiros: Start with what is now for partitiioning - have a look at ' sudo fdisk -lu ' from your liveUSB. | 05:13 |

| Speiros | All good Bashing-om :) Good job for being here to help. | 05:15 |
| ExcessiveAggro | following this guide - this may do it : https://linuxsuperuser.com/how-to-restore-or-create-efi-partition-in-ubuntu/ | 05:16 |
| Bashing-om | ExcessiveAggro: Looking at the guide. | 05:17 |
| ExcessiveAggro | crap i need to reboot - with a liveCD it may take me about 5 to get back | 05:18 |
| ExcessiveAggro | made it back | 05:22 |
| Speiros | wb ExcessiveAggro. How's it looking? | 05:22 |
| Bashing-om | ExcessiveAggro: Guide looks sane to me - do follow al the way through and check the value in your /etc/fstab entry. | 05:23 |
| ExcessiveAggro | had to reenable EFI because i turned it off during troubleshooting | 05:23 |
| ExcessiveAggro | so about to check it out | 05:23 |
| Speiros | Yeah, that could be it. | 05:24 |
| Rubato | anyone checked my logs? | 05:24 |
| ExcessiveAggro | OK Speiros and Bashing-om - moment of truth, rebooting :) | 05:31 |
| Speiros | Ok | 05:31 |
| ExcessiveAggro | It worked! Man linux is fantastic | 05:34 |
| ExcessiveAggro | Thanks Speiros and Bashing-om | 05:35 |
| Bashing-om | ExcessiveAggro: \o/ - Time and a liveUSB fixes all :P | 05:35 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I had this problem because I have a box of USB thumb drives I'm reformating 1 by 1.... and I just happened to hit the wrong partition on thumb drive #54 | 05:36 |
| Speiros | Good job, ExcessiveAggro, and Good work, Bashing-om :) | 05:36 |
| Speiros | LOL It happens, ExcessiveAggro. I did that once too and lost all my photos from when I was overseas. | 05:36 |
| ExcessiveAggro | any chance one of you can paste that link back at me? I can't see history in the web browser and my searches are not giving me that same result this time lol | 05:38 |
| Speiros | Which link? | 05:39 |

| sauvin | Kubuntu 20.04: no virtual consoles produced on CTRL-ALT-F[1-6]. Anybody know a fix? | 06:09 |
| Speiros | Good work, DarkTrick. How did you do it? | 06:11 |
| DarkTrick | Speiros, I posted the backtrace as shown in my console with as much dbg info I could figure out. With the note to do more work, if someone tells me how to gain missing information. | 06:12 |
| Speiros | Yeah, it's beyond my knowledge level mate. Glad you got it resolved though. | 06:13 |
| sauvin | Kubuntu 20.04 definitely did something wonky with VCs. I was wrong: a CTRL-ALT-F3 gets a VC, but there's no getting back to X. | 06:25 |
| lotuspsychje | !tty | sauvin | 06:25 |
| ubottu | sauvin: To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 06:25 |
| sauvin | Oh, they changed it? I used to get back to X with ALT-CTRL-F7. | 06:27 |
| sauvin | Confirmed. lotuspsychje, THANK YOU. | 06:27 |
| lotuspsychje | ; ) | 06:27 |

| soft_concrete | I'm trying to access a samba share I just created on my network via the Ubuntu file manager (nautilus) but the password prompt is confusing me. | 15:08 |
| soft_concrete | Even if I type in a valid username and password for the share, the password prompt comes up again, but all the options are greyed out, and I can't click or type anything in. What the hell? | 15:09 |
| BlueEagle | soft_concrete: Is the Ubuntu box the samba server or client? | 15:13 |
| soft_concrete | BlueEagle: Ubuntu Server for the server, Ubuntu on my laptop for client as well | 15:14 |
| BlueEagle | soft_concrete: Very good. Are there any domain controllers in the mix? Do you have a samba user set up on the server and not just a "regular" user? | 15:15 |
| soft_concrete | BlueEagle: That's correct, AFAIK. I have a user account set up, which samba should know about: I added an entry in the config file, and also did smbpassword on the user | 15:16 |
| soft_concrete | I've also restarted smbd after updating the config file | 15:16 |
| RadSurfer | for one thing a leading 0 infront of integers in C means OCTAL value! but why only flag certain values in RED? | 15:17 |
| BlueEagle | RadSurfer: 028, 048 and 096 are not valid octal numbers. | 15:19 |
| RadSurfer | fascinating! doh! | 15:19 |
| RadSurfer | good observation. | 15:20 |
| BlueEagle | RadSurfer: octal numbers can only have the digits 0-7 :) | 15:20 |
| RadSurfer | yes yes of course1 | 15:20 |
| RadSurfer | in process of fixing this; going to take a while :) | 15:20 |
| RadSurfer | at least that's as good an explanation as I have heard! | 15:21 |
| BlueEagle | soft_concrete: when you did smbpasswd did you remember the -a flag? | 15:21 |
| soft_concrete | BlueEagle: it seems like I can connect with smbclient, but when I try to do ls, I get: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing \* | 15:21 |
| soft_concrete | BlueEagle: I did | 15:21 |
| BlueEagle | soft_concrete: Then it appears that your user does not have access to the resource you are attempting to access. Check the permissions of the files as well as the share. | 15:22 |
| soft_concrete | BlueEagle: alright, I fixed that | 15:23 |
| soft_concrete | and now it works! :) | 15:23 |
| soft_concrete | BlueEagle: when I'm logged into the samba share, does the host OS see me as the user I've defined in the smb.conf? | 15:24 |

| soft_concrete | lmfao | 15:33 |
| BlueEagle | soft_concrete: Did you find the cause? | 15:43 |
| soft_concrete | BlueEagle: Yeah, it was just permissions being wrong. Everything seems good now | 15:43 |
| panda413 | hi | 15:45 |
| panda413 | irc issues LOL | 15:45 |
| mocalvao | hi there | 15:53 |
| mocalvao | I have a very weird situation with my network connection. Two (Kubuntu Linux) of my three machines (the other one is a MacBook Pro), which are directly connected to the modem/router of my ISP, are unable to connect many pages of the web, though other ones seem to work fine | 15:55 |
| mocalvao | A sample of the sites I have problems with is: ufrj.br, claro,com.br, arxiv.org, kubuntu.org. I do not have problems in accessing youtube (any videos there), gmail, gmeet, for instance. The error is typically (in Chrome) DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN or ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE | 15:56 |
| sharktamer | so what's the actual right way to configure wifi headless on a raspberry pi? | 15:57 |
| sharktamer | none of the suggestions I've found online actually work | 15:57 |
| mocalvao | I have now tried a different login user and different live usb pendrives and the same issues persist. Furthermore, I have created hotspots from my mobile phones, which use a different ISP and one of the desktops, which came with wifi as well, presents the same issues... | 15:57 |
| mocalvao | Right now, my MacBook Pro works fine, having no kind of this issue, but in the past few days, it did have... In fact, this morning, there was a popped-up message in it, reading: This computer's local hostanme "..." is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to ... Despite that, i have had no access problems to the web through it, connected to the very same modem/router | 16:00 |
| mocalvao | People from #kubuntu suggested I should come here because of a larger user base, and so did I. | 16:01 |
| RadSurfer | how about that! those RED thingies were actually bad octal values in a .c file! Why isn't there a manual for gedit that explains these things. :) | 16:03 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Having the same hostname on a network should typically not cause an issue with http traffic, but in general it is a bad idea. Is there any reason that you have several hosts with the same name on the network? | 16:13 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Oh I did not read that it had since changed. I would reset the router too just to make sure that it is done. Then I would power down all but one computer and see if it works as expected. Then two and then three until the issue arises. | 16:14 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: If the issue exists with only one computer, power that down and try with another single computer powered. If the issue still persists then the issue appears to be not with the computers but the link. | 16:15 |
| MIF | is it possable to limit how much cpu a prosses can use? | 16:17 |
| BlueEagle | MIF: `man renice` | 16:18 |
| BlueEagle | MIF: renice can set the priority of a process. | 16:18 |
| MIF | ok | 16:18 |

| Maik | !ask | 16:29 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:29 |

| MIF | I am trying to get a reverse proxy set up accouring to https://thelounge.chat/docs/guides/reverse-proxies#apache but I get error Invalid command 'RequestHeader', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration | 16:31 |
| BlueEagle | MIF: It's provided by mod_headers. | 16:33 |
| BlueEagle | MIF: You want to make sure that mod_headers is in mods-available and then symlinked from mods-enabled (or somesuch. I'm an nginx-guy myself) | 16:34 |
| mocalvao | @BlueEagle: The host names of the three connected machines are all different ( betelgeuse and andromeda) for the Kubuntu desktop machines and I now have noticed a new message on the Mac reading again that "This computer's local hostname "Mauricios-MacBook-Pro-3.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "Mauricios-MacBook-Pro-4.local" | 16:41 |
| mocalvao | @BlueEagle: I will try to turn off or disconnect all other machines from the modem/router and see what happens... | 16:42 |
| Maik | mocalvao: BlueEagle wasn't talking to you :) | 16:43 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: When you put @ in front of a nickname in IRC it prevents most clients from highlighting the line, so please ommit it. In IRC @ denotes a channel operator. | 16:43 |
| Maik | ooops... my bad... quassel didn't load the back log completely. Sorry | 16:43 |
| BlueEagle | Maik: I was. | 16:43 |
| Maik | BlueEagle: yeah, i noticed now^^ | 16:44 |
| noobguy1 | hello. i am having issues typing uppercase characters and symbols when using rdp windows server from remmina. when i type @, it prints 1@. is there a fix for this? | 17:06 |
| rfm | noobguy1, two things I can think to try: make sure the keyboard layout is set the same on the local and remote systems; try a different rdp client (I use the now-ancient "rdesktop" out of habit, still seems to be in the repos) | 17:23 |
| noobguy1 | rfm, i am connecting to windows | 17:24 |
| rfm | noobguy1, yes, I understood that. windows has a keyboard layout setting, and rdesktop works with windows (there are other rdp clients too, any "should" work..) | 17:25 |

| mocalvao | Hi Iam back, the guy with connection problems to the internet | 17:41 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: I have turned off all machines as well as the modem/router and then tried turning on, each one separately, and then all of them again. The connection problem persists: I am unable to access some network resources, while having no problems with others | 17:43 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Ok, so you are able to open some websites, but not others, is that correct? | 17:43 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: And this issue also occurs when you try only the mac online? | 17:44 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: Yes, I can access some sites (youtube, https://ubuntu.com), but not others (https://ufrj.gov.br, https://kubuntu.org)). This issue, right now, does not happen with the MacBook Pro, simultaneously connected to the same modem/router. | 17:49 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Ok. And which error message are you receiving again? | 17:50 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: that is, I am able to access all sites with the Mac... | 17:50 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Do you get an error message in your web browser? | 17:53 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: with Chrome, I get: This site can't be reached https://ufrj.br is unreachable ERR_ADDRESSS_UNREACHABLE, but also, before, DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN | 17:53 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Ok, can you ping the address and get an IP address for the name? | 17:53 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: i.e. in a terminal run ping ufrj.br | 17:54 |
| mocalvao | PING ufrj.br (146.164.209.131) 56(84) bytes of data Then several From _gateway (192.168.0.1) icmp_seq=3 Destination Net Unreachable | 17:55 |
| mocalvao | After interrupting, with Ctrl-C, I get: 69 packets transmitted, 0 received, +56 errors, 100% packet loss, time 69600ms | 17:56 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Ok, so the name server appears to find the correct IP. If you try https://146.164.209.131/ (accepting the security exception) does it give a 404 page not found? | 17:56 |
| mocalvao | The very same site, from the Mac shows up perfectly | 17:56 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: I understand. We just need to figure out where the issue is. | 17:57 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Also which browser(s) are you using on your kubuntu boxes? | 17:57 |
| mocalvao | This happens both for Firefox and Chrome | 17:57 |
| mocalvao | When I tried the IP address above, the browser simply returned ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE | 17:58 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: That is really odd. | 17:58 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagel: (it did not show up any security exception) | 17:59 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Did you set up any proxy server when you installed Kubuntu? | 17:59 |
| mocalvao | I guess not, because I would not even know how to do it. I can check if you tell me how to... | 18:00 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: There is a step where you are asked for a proxy server, the default is blank and that is correct for most users, so if you don't know that you did then you didn't. :) | 18:01 |
| mocalvao | I went to KDE System Settings > Network > Settings > Proxy and "No Proxy" was checked | 18:01 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Can you check the IP address and DNS server set up on one of the kubuntu boxes? | 18:02 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Also try setting the DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (google's name server) and see if that allows you to connect. | 18:02 |
| mocalvao | If that is worth, I have made a hotspot from my mobile phone, with a different ISP, connected to it from the most recent Kubuntu box and the same issue arises... | 18:03 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: Someone had already suggested this to me: under System Settings > Network > Connections, I have Wired Ethernet IPv4 and IPv6 tabs both with Method: Automatic and Other DNS Servers as 8.8.8.8 (IPv4) and ::ffff:8.8.8.8 | 18:06 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Try disabling IP6. | 18:06 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: But other than that I am at a loss for what may be causing this. | 18:07 |
| === StathisA_ is now known as StathisA | ||
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: how do I disable IPv6? Choosing Method: Ignored from System Settings > Network > Connections > IPv6 tab? | 18:08 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: I am doing all this with the 3 machines connected to the modem/router; could this affect something? | 18:09 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: does this look like some problem with my hardware (network card) or the ISP's modem/router or like a software, configuration problem? | 18:11 |
| mocalvao | The MacBook Pro itself, despite working without any apparent glitches right now, did issue those messages about changes to the hostname,FWIW... | 18:12 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: I assume that your router/modem has three or for LAN-slots (or even wifi) and that it provides a network address to your computers in a private range (10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16 or 172.19.0.0/16) | 18:14 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: it has four LAN (yellow) slots, all of which are used right now: 3 for the above mentioned computers and the last one for another personal mode-router | 18:16 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: And it gives out IPs in one of the ranges above? | 18:16 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: I do not know how to check that "it provides a network address to your computers in a private range". I can check it in the command line, if you tell me how to | 18:17 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: What are your local IP addresses on your computers? If they start with 10. or 192.168 or 172.19 then it's a private range. Anything other than that then your individual devices are all getting public addresses which may cause issues. | 18:18 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: I used sudo ifconfig and it gave me: for enp4s0 inet 192.168.0.3. Is that it? | 18:19 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Yeah, that sounds good. While you're at it do you see a DHCP server, and can you enter that address in your browser to get access to the interface of the router/modem? Typically that wound be 192.168.0.1. | 18:20 |
| mocalvao | for inet6, there were several other codes.. | 18:20 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Oh, I thought I asked you to disable IP6. | 18:20 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: When I try that URL it leads me to a page for TP-Link, which is not the ISP brand of the router-modem... I think it is the page for my other personal modem-router.. | 18:23 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: how do I disable IPv6? Through KDE System Settings? | 18:24 |
| mocalvao | The brand for the ISP modem-router is Arris (not TP-Link) but there are several infos in a sticker on it. One of them says the IP should be 192.168.0.1 but this gives me a TP-LINK page, not the Arris one. Isn't his plain wrong? | 18:27 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: to /etc/sysctl.conf add the line: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 | 18:28 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: You might need to restart networking or reboot for the changes to take effect. | 18:28 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: That depends on the firmware of the router what interface it has. | 18:29 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Some googling should be able to provide you with the defautl credentials needed to access the admin interface. Not sure if it'll matter thoguh. | 18:29 |
| mocalvao | Have just added the line disabling ipv6 on the sysctl.conf file (it was completely commented out)... | 18:33 |
| mocalvao | How do I start networking or should I rather reboot and come back again? | 18:34 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: A reboot would ensure that you're not using it. | 18:34 |
| mocalvao | Ok. I will reboot and report back. Thanks | 18:35 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: Back again. It did not work... I notice, if that matters, that under KDE System Settings . Network > Connections, the IPv6 tab still has Method: Automatic and the Google DNS for the field Other DNS Servers, whereas the IPv4 tab has changed its Method to Link-Local and now its field DNS Servers is blank... | 18:43 |
| BlueEagle | mocalvao: Then I am at a loss for what can be causing this. | 18:44 |
| mocalvao | BlueEagle: Also the command sudo ifconfig still shows up several inet6 lines, besides the single one for plain inet. Doesn't this mean inet6 is still somehow operational? | 18:45 |

| _lars_ | Hi, where are bug-reports about the installer? I do own a 11th gen i5 laptop, using intel VMD. When trying to use dualboot with Windows, I get the problem "bitlocker is installed. Stop.". There is no bitlocker activated, and never had been (new Windows installation!). I tried RHEL 8.3 (current), installation works, booting works. | 20:12 |

| BlueEagle | _lars_: There is a section for "Filing a general bug against no particular package" section that may (or may not) apply | 20:15 |
| _lars_ | BlueEagle: I do know that - but the problem is in the installer, | 20:15 |
