| flank | hey all... I have an old backup in an ISO format, and it is huge. I am unable to mount it, as it says that it is possibly corrupt. Running file on it shows that it is possibly an NTFS partition. I can't remember how to mount this, and I am wondering if it is possible at all. You can see the output of file here : https://hastebin.com/vamohupefo.apache | 00:16 |
| flank | parted shows this: https://hastebin.com/kuxebujazi.apache and fdisk -l shows this: https://hastebin.com/ejoxegimej.apache | 00:17 |
| guiverc | flank, I'd ask whoever created it for clues.. maybe https://askubuntu.com/questions/155748/how-do-i-mount-a-disksecure-multiboot-partition is helpful.. (upvoted answers) | 00:50 |
| Linkandzelda | Could someone assist with mounting 2 exfat volumes via fstab? | 01:39 |
| butccher | hey i need help | 01:42 |
| butccher | when i search wifi in settings it says no wifi moudle found. I was using wifi orignailly when i was using Windows?? | 01:43 |
| guiverc | butccher, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide is where I'd start.. section 3 and the "Device Recognition and Operation" section will tell you your hardware (ie. chipset used) which is key to solution.. | 01:45 |
| butccher | thx | 01:45 |
| oerheks | Linkandzelda, make a proper folder, sudo mkdir /mnt/<name> and add UUID="xxxx" /mnt/<name> exfat defaults,auto,umask=000,users,rw 0 0 | 01:48 |
| oerheks | this UUID pops up with 'sudo blkid' | 01:49 |
| oerheks | https://customerhelp.co.za/linux/ubuntu/correctly-auto-mount-seagate-exfat-external-usb-drive-ubuntu-permanent-mounting.html | 01:49 |
| Linkandzelda | oerheks: im doing this command and it fails: sudo mount -t exfat -o umask=0,uid=nobody,gid=nobody /dev/sda1 /media/ext | 01:49 |
| oerheks | keep /media/ for automounting, use /mnt/ for fstab | 01:51 |
| Linkandzelda | oerheks: using those mount options works, thanks, and i didnt think of that | 01:52 |
| oerheks | have fun! | 01:52 |

| jayjo- | using the installer shell, or other tools available at that stage, what's the best way to mount a partition (labeled CIDATA) in order to start auto-installations? | 03:20 |
| jayjo- | looks like lsblk -o name,mountpoint,label,size,uuid shows the label, so should cloud-init just detect the partition is there with userdat and begin the install? I feel like I'm just one step away | 03:25 |

| Louisina | Hello, | 11:00 |
| luna_ | hey | 11:00 |
| Louisina | Unfortunately, I have to temporarely install Windows on a laptop. (Nvidia Optimus technology, tried one week to make it work on Linux, without success). But I have some trouble to create a bootable usb stick from a ISO. I tried few solutions (dd, gnome disk restauration), but the laptop doesn't boot on it. (bios already checked, "insert proper boot | 11:03 |
| Louisina | device"). Can I have some advice please ? | 11:03 |
| Speiros | Louisina For me, I had to open in Gparted and ensure the boot flag was selected. | 11:04 |
| Louisina | Speiros, Ok, I'll check this. | 11:04 |
| antagomir | Dear all - I tried to make a full disk encryption on my laptop with LUKS following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 | 11:05 |
| Louisina | Boot flag wasn't checked. I check it and try. | 11:05 |
| Speiros | Ok | 11:05 |
| jeremy31 | Speiros: https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/easily-create-windows-10-bootable-usb-ubuntu | 11:06 |
| Speiros | Hi jeremy31 :) | 11:07 |
| Louisina | Speiros, doesn't work. | 11:08 |
| antagomir | Dear all - I tried to make a full disk encryption on my laptop with LUKS following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 - Everything was successful and after restart I get the command line prompt that is shown at the bottom of this instruction page. I cannot write the master password there, and regardless of what I write + press enter, it takes me to grub | 11:08 |
| Louisina | jeremy31, Thx for the link, I'll look at it. | 11:08 |
| antagomir | command line prompt. As far as I see, the encryption was successful but the system does not start properly after restart and I end up in grub. Any advice? | 11:08 |
| Speiros | Louisina If it doesn't work again, it might be the UEFI thingy...from that you can tell I'm not too savvy with it. It worked for me on one lappy a long time ago, but I don't remember it. | 11:09 |
| Louisina | Speiros, Tried in both modes, UEFI and BIOS. | 11:10 |
| Speiros | Louisina Okay. Sounds above my knowledge level. Someone else might know though. | 11:10 |
| === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius | ||
| Speiros | antagomir Sorry, but I haven't had success with LUKS either. | 11:10 |
| antagomir | Speiros ok hmm - ecryptfs then I guess | 11:18 |
| Speiros | I hope it works for you. What OS are you loading? | 11:20 |
| Speiros | 20:04? | 11:20 |
| EriC^^ | Louisina: unfortunately you cant dd a windows iso and have it boot, but if you're going to boot it in uefi mode it's very easy to create the bootable usb | 11:23 |
| EriC^^ | do you know if you will be using uefi or legacy bios? | 11:23 |

| markit | if I unplug and plug mouose I see the mouse led flash for 1 second, then turns off... | 12:05 |
| markit | tried different ports... | 12:05 |
| markit | on another computer everything worked smoothly... Logitech mouse and keyboard | 12:05 |
| markit | any idea? | 12:05 |
| lotuspsychje | markit: could try noacpi at boot perhaps | 12:07 |
| lotuspsychje | markit: whats the brand of that mouse/keyboard? regular usb or BT? most ubuntu installs mouse and KB should just work | 12:08 |
| lotuspsychje | oh logitech | 12:09 |
| markit | USB keyboard and mouse, now trying USB3 connectors WORKS!!! | 12:09 |
| markit | sorry for the noise, just found the solution online after 20 mins of struggling... | 12:09 |

| locsmif_work | Is there something the matter with Firefox's certificate store on 20.04.1 LTS? I get a validation error when visiting a site with a CA R3 from Let's Encrypt, and Thunderbird started carping as well, but Chrome works fine, seeing as (iirc) it uses Ubuntu's certificate store, whereas FF uses its own | 13:17 |

| wolfram | Hello, I am on Ubuntu 18.04. I am use "tc" to force TCP packets to be dropped between a program on my desktop and a server to which I am connecting via WiFi. This works nicely but when I tell tc to drop 95% of packets, it literally includes everything that goes out through that WiFi's interface, which includes my web browsing and an SSH session to that server. | 14:52 |
| wolfram | I wonder what kind of a tool I can use to make another, kind of a virtual interface for packets to that server to go through and which I will then use tc with to drop packets at will without interfering with the other connections. | 14:53 |
| wolfram | I am just asking for some general, high-level directions and keywords to look up, I can work out the details myself. Thanks a lot. | 14:54 |
| jpds | wolfram: Do the testing in a live CD VM | 15:00 |
| wolfram | jpds: Oh, no, there is too much setup involved. | 15:01 |
| wolfram | jpds: In the sense that the program here needs it, not the Live CD. | 15:02 |
| adfeno | Hi there, is there a replacement for mate-screensaver or a tool to be used with it that correctly authenticates with libpam-oath? | 17:31 |
| adfeno | Tried using set-user-ID with both mate-screensaver and mate-screensaver-command but one didn't work and other raised GTK warnings about it, complaining that MATE's lacks a “helper” program to aid in this case. | 17:34 |
| tomreyn | it#s good that you asked this in #ubuntu-mate, that's probably the right place. | 17:38 |

| cpare | Having USB problems - some devices (mouse, usb audio) are turning off for periods of time | 18:18 |
| cpare | I can create the issue on demand by attempting to play a video | 18:19 |
| lotuspsychje | cpare: can you share your logs with the volunteers, so they can think along with you to help? | 18:19 |
| cpare | @lotuspsychje - sure, which logs to begin with? | 18:20 |

| MikeRL | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/79XB8GVvPs/ | 18:27 |
| MikeRL | I am having issues with Source 1 games on Steam on Ubuntu 20.10. Specifically, they launch in a non-resizable window and the controls for the mouse don't work. This happens every time. No idea if this is the place to put this. | 18:28 |
| MikeRL | However, I tried uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers and using the open source community nvidia ones. I tried ppa purge for the obilaf ppa. Rebooted between steps. No dice. | 18:29 |
| adfeno | MikeRL: Perhaps ask the makers of the game? | 18:29 |
| MikeRL | Groovy didn't have this issue till recent months. | 18:29 |
| MikeRL | adfeno, Steam doesn't offer game specific support. | 18:29 |
| cpare | Logs - https://anotepad.com/notes/acrywa8j | 18:29 |
| adfeno | MikeRL: Source 1 | 18:30 |
| MikeRL | I'm wondering if anyone here is on 20.10, has Steam with HL2, Episode 1, or Episode 2, and has the same issue. | 18:30 |
| MikeRL | I can also try Steam Linux forums. | 18:30 |
| adfeno | MikeRL: same goes for HL2, ep 2 and ep 3, ask those. | 18:31 |
| lotuspsychje | cpare: IO errors are usually not great news, hd might go flaky, you might wanna take backups and test your HD | 18:31 |
| adfeno | MikeRL: I'm not a fosterer of Steam, but any senile repository/store surely Steam has detailed information on who is responsible for providing that game | 18:32 |
| adfeno | s/surely Steam has/surely has/ | 18:32 |
| cpare | I will go back and check sr0 | 18:33 |
| cpare | I guess that could be the cause, but my mouse just dies for a few seconds at a time each time it happens | 18:33 |
| MikeRL | Aha. | 18:34 |
| cpare | but I can still alt/tab and do keyboard commands without issue | 18:34 |
| MikeRL | I found something on the forums from a month ago. | 18:34 |
| MikeRL | Bug in Mutter causes it. | 18:34 |
| MikeRL | https://steamcommunity.com/app/220/discussions/0/2963893984920611773/ | 18:34 |
| cpare | so it's not a system lock - it "feels like" the old IRQ/DMA issues from the 90's | 18:34 |
| BlueEagle | lotuspsychje: I just missed cpare, but could it be that he was playing the video off a USB drive and was simply running out of power on the USB bus? | 18:56 |
| Petruchio | Hi. I'm trying to get a USB printer working on 20.04.1. Printing a test page stalls; syslog says, "io/hpmud/musb.c 515: invalid claim_interface 7/1/2: Device or resource busy" | 18:59 |
| ExcessiveAggro | Hello all - I'm having an odd issue where I click and icon on the desktop to drag it and it won't release back to the desktop once I click it. Anyone seen that? | 19:00 |
| badbodh | press escape | 19:00 |
| ExcessiveAggro | yeah escape releases it | 19:01 |
| ExcessiveAggro | but I cant move the icon to another location | 19:01 |
| ExcessiveAggro | its just stuck in that place on the desktop | 19:01 |
| badbodh | the desktop-icon shell extension is iffy at best, it doesnt behave like nautilus | 19:01 |
| badbodh | you can't change position, it auto-arranges every time | 19:01 |
| kk4ewt | Petruchio, on some usb printers i have had to restart the printer then it works | 19:01 |
| ExcessiveAggro | What's odd is I can move the Trashcan and the folder referencing my home directory | 19:02 |
| ExcessiveAggro | but any files I've placed on the desktop are stuck in one spot | 19:02 |
| badbodh | yes it's a bit inconsistent. so i disabled it | 19:02 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I see | 19:02 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I will look in to disabling it also | 19:02 |
| badbodh | all applications > extensions > desktop icons > disable. alternatively you can install "places" extension. it will give you shortcut to desktop folder among others | 19:03 |
| Petruchio | kk4ewt: Thanks. | 19:04 |
| cpare | Back again with my odd keyboard/mouse issue.... | 19:04 |
| cpare | This is 100% related to my new keyboard | 19:04 |
| pillager86 | how do you tell the VSCode linter to ignore certain files until I'm ready? | 19:04 |
| pillager86 | it won't check the file i'm working on because another file is messed up. | 19:04 |
| cpare | when my mouse hangs I just realized I can unplug the keyboard and get the mouse to immediately respond. | 19:04 |
| pillager86 | wrong chat | 19:05 |
| ExcessiveAggro | @badbodh Where do I find "all Applications" ? | 19:06 |
| badbodh | ExcessiveAggro: erm.... you're on ubuntu default (gnome) right? so all applications are in "All" section of application shell dash thingy stuff what-you-call-it | 19:07 |
| badbodh | or just type "extension" from activity view and it will search for you | 19:08 |
| ExcessiveAggro | yeah 20.04 - I click the application (9 dot) thing and I'm in the ALL APPLICATIONS but it doesnt show any extensions icon | 19:08 |
| badbodh | maybe it's under some folder. just search for it | 19:08 |
| ExcessiveAggro | i searched and nothing comes up for extensions | 19:09 |
| ExcessiveAggro | not installed | 19:09 |
| ExcessiveAggro | juust found it in the app store | 19:09 |
| badbodh | it comes pre-installed, maybe you removed it at some point without knowing. install it then | 19:09 |
| ExcessiveAggro | Interesting... is it possible they've deprecated this? I just installed it and it says desktop icons is not compatible with this version of cinnamon | 19:11 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I will keep searching a bit | 19:13 |
| badbodh | oh you're on cinnamon. then right click and see if it's auto-arranging by name or something | 19:15 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I'm not sure honestly... I did a standard Ubuntu install so it's using whatever desktop environment comes with that. I'm googling to see how i determine which desktop I'm using | 19:17 |
| badbodh | type "echo $DESKTOP_SESSION" in terminal, or install "inxi" package and run "inxi -S" command in terminal | 19:19 |
| badbodh | ubuntu standard install uses gnome-shell. it doesn't have typical windows like UI | 19:19 |
| ExcessiveAggro | gnome 3.36.4 | 19:19 |
| ExcessiveAggro | any suggestions for other desktops that are better with icons on the desktop? | 19:20 |
| ExcessiveAggro | Or just better in general? | 19:20 |
| tieinv | lsb_release -a | 19:20 |
| badbodh | every desktop has their own set of problems and advantages | 19:20 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I see | 19:20 |
| ExcessiveAggro | I will read up a bit to see what I might like. Appreciate th ehelp badbodh | 19:21 |
| badbodh | ExcessiveAggro: do you have "gnome-shell-extension-prefs" package? | 19:21 |
| ExcessiveAggro | i just did a sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-prefs ... and its asking me if i want to install... so I'm assuming no | 19:22 |
| badbodh | tieinv: that command doesn't show desktop environment. only the distribution version | 19:23 |
| badbodh | ExcessiveAggro: aha, that's the one you use to manage extensions. for some reason gnome-tweaks is broken | 19:24 |
| ExcessiveAggro | hey I have it now and i can turn off the icons | 19:24 |
| ExcessiveAggro | So in windows I often placed icons on my desktop for things I click most often. maybe a link to a website, a link to a SSH session i want to initiate. What do people in linux do for that type of workflow? | 19:24 |
| ExcessiveAggro | If you dont have desktop icons | 19:25 |
| tieinv | echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP | 19:25 |
| badbodh | go to /usr/share/applications and copy-paste the launchger | 19:25 |
| ExcessiveAggro | got it | 19:25 |
| tieinv | did that work badbodh | 19:26 |
| badbodh | tieinv: yes, thank you | 19:26 |
| mort | What do I do when a package is "kept back"? apt-get upgrade just says "The following packages have been kept back: libc++1". It says this even when I do apt-get dist-upgrade or apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade. | 20:02 |
| mort | Well, aptitude figured it out. It needed to install libc++1-11{a} libc++abi1-11{a} and remove libc++1-10{u} libc++abi1-10{u} before it could install libc++1. I wish apt was good enough to figure that out on its own. | 20:05 |
| jayjo- | I've got a VM of the most recent ubuntu server running with from a USB drive (passthrough) and I've got a partition on the drive labeled "CIDATA" with /user-data and /meta-data files. | 20:21 |
| jayjo- | Should adding 'autoinstall ds=nocloud' to the GRUB menu be enough to autoinstall? It's not working for me | 20:21 |
| jayjo- | I can enter the shell in the installer and see the partition with fdisk --list, of type "Microsoft basic data" | 20:28 |
| jayjo- | and by inspecting dmesg I can confirm `Command line: initrd=/casper/initrd autoinstall ds=nocloud; --- priority=low` | 20:31 |
| lepricated | after following the openrazer installation guide. shouldnt I see an app or some kind of configuration tool? | 21:23 |
| matsaman | lepricated: maybe it's folded into the general OS settings GUI | 21:27 |
| matsaman | you should be able to find the individual executables, though | 21:28 |
| matsaman | dpkg -L packagename | egrep -i 'bin|exec', etc. | 21:28 |
| lepricated | looks like it olny does the driver and I need to install an app to interact with the drivers | 21:35 |
| josspyker | I have been using ubuntu since 6.04, but it is time so say good bye to the desktop version. Too many problems | 22:44 |
| MIF | get the server | 22:44 |
| josspyker | the server are not the problem. Debian based, but my main issue is the wifi | 22:47 |
| josspyker | servers | 22:47 |
| tomreyn | that's most of the time, a chipset manufacturer problem, not an ubuntu one. | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | use more wired networking. less packet loss, higher stability, less power consumption | 22:52 |
