[00:00] <gordonjcp> arooni: that description is a little incoherent
[00:01] <gordonjcp> arooni: what exactly are you trying to do?
[00:02] <arooni> gordonjcp:i'm trying to get Match / ForceCommand working ; but i'm not clear on whether i add them on the OUTGOING ssh connection sshd_config file or the incoming sshd_config file (in this case mac)
[00:02] <arooni> use case is that my fish shell has a bunch of plugins and too much startup time for the frequency of unison file syncs i want to do
[00:02] <arooni> i want to use something that isn't as chunky as it needs to be invoked each time unison runs
[00:03] <gordonjcp> arooni: ForceCommand doesn't do that
[00:03] <sarnold> arooni: forcecommand is used by the server to enforce what the client tries to run
[00:04] <arooni> well i think it can work well for what i want; create a new ssh profile outgoing on ubuntu; then match that identity
[00:04] <gordonjcp> arooni: it'll still start your user's specified shell
[00:04] <arooni> then force it to run /bin/bash
[00:04] <gordonjcp> arooni: right
[00:04] <gordonjcp> arooni: so it'll start fish, then run bash in that
[00:04] <arooni> i figured out it has to be configured on the device i was connecting to
[00:04] <arooni> oh so it defeats the purpose
[00:04] <arooni> was hoping to avoid invoking fish
[00:05] <gordonjcp> arooni: it's not quite the right tool for the job, it's intended for something else
[00:05] <arooni> so is there anyway to avoid invoking fish ; without changing my default shell on mac?
[00:05] <gordonjcp> arooni: you mght use it so that a particular user logging in gets directed to a particular command whether they like it or not
[00:05] <arooni> thats interesting
[00:05] <sarnold> "The command is invoked by using the user's login shell with the -c option."
[00:05] <sarnold> ouch
[00:06] <sarnold> I'm surprised it doesn't just use /bin/sh or similar.
[00:06] <arooni> i think it'd be better if it did
[00:06] <arooni> but now re-reading that makes more sense
[00:06] <gordonjcp> arooni: you can run multiple sessions over ssh
[00:06] <gordonjcp> arooni: leave a session running and it will be "reused"
[00:07] <arooni> well i'm not invoking these; unison is
[00:07] <arooni> maybe there's a way to let it keep a connection open
[00:07] <arooni> so it doesn't have the overhead each time
[00:07] <sarnold> there is
[00:07] <arooni> do you know what the config option is?  that's certainly news to me
[00:08] <sarnold> arooni: check ControlMaster in ssh_config
[00:08] <sarnold> arooni: I used it for a few weeks before disabling it again. I can't recall now why it frustrated me.
[00:08] <arooni> hmm reading https://www.anchor.com.au/blog/2010/02/ssh-controlmaster-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/
[00:08] <sarnold> 2010???
[00:08] <sarnold> wow
[00:09] <arooni> well it was the first google result
[00:09] <sarnold> it still feels like a new feature to me :) heh
[00:09] <arooni> its *brand new* to me haha
[00:10] <sarnold> hmm, I wonder if it was that "first session must stay alive" thing
[00:11] <arooni> thats the caveat it was mentioning

[00:46] <frib> hehe ya
[01:12] <geosmile> I just got a bluetoothe wireless trackball - ubuntu 20.04 is not showing it when i switch on bluetooth. Any suggestions?

[01:24] <tacomaster> Where is the best place to learn how to configure apparmor? I have seen the ubuntu wiki's on how to enable or disable a profile but I want to learn how to write the profiles
[01:29] <sarnold> hey tacomaster; aa-genprof or aa-logprof are pretty good starting points for writing your own profiles; they help automate the process of running something (perhaps in complain mode), reading the log files to find out what was blocked (or what would have been blocked), and adding rules to the profile
[01:30] <sarnold> tacomaster: the harder part is knowing when you want to use 'ix' rules vs 'cx' or 'px' rules.. that's hard to teach :/
[01:39] <tacomaster> sarnold, So there really isnt much documentation?
[01:39] <tacomaster> sarnold, I have not personally been able to find it
[01:41] <sarnold> tacomaster: well, there's a lot of stuff: apparmor.d(5) describes the policy language; the wiki has tutorials on how to use the tools to write profiles and how to write profiles by hand https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/wikis/Documentation#how-to-and-tutorials
[01:42] <sarnold> tacomaster: but the wiki has hundreds of pages, and the clear majority of them are more like "internal ideas" or a whiteboard for how a feature might be implemented. it's hard to know what is *good* documentation and what is just plans or ideas.
[01:42] <sarnold> tacomaster: and as far as I know there's not much available for deciding which processes need profiles, or when you should use which execute permissions.
[01:43] <jayjo-> I'm looking at the default ubuntu installation and its recommendations for storage. With SSDs, is it no longer recommended to use swap space?
[01:44] <sarnold> jayjo-: swap space is a good idea; the installer should default to creating a one-gigabyte swap file, iirc
[01:46] <jayjo-> sarnold: I'm testing through a VM again right now, but I believe both the desktop and server defaults similar to this: https://bpa.st/KOOA
[01:47] <jayjo-> that is a server
[01:47] <jayjo-> actually, this is a desktop, and it does have swap: https://bpa.st/LFTA
[01:47] <sarnold> jayjo-: check ther output of swapon, not lsblk
[01:48] <Bashing-om> jayjo-: Default install on a SSD: "/swapfile  none  swap    sw  0       0".
[01:50] <jayjo-> both the server and desktop have swap showing from `swapon`, actually. The server installation does not show it with lsblk.
[01:52] <Bashing-om> jayjo-: If a swap partitionb is in exitence then the partition will be used. Mt defaulrt however on bare metal/ext4 " swapon --summary >> /swapfile  file    1358916".
[01:54] <jayjo-> Bashing-om: I do see a file at /swap.img on my server being used. Sorry if I misunderstood. Does subiquity use a file (not a partition) if an SSD is detected?
[01:55] <sarnold> jayjo-: a swap file should be used regardless of storage
[01:56] <Bashing-om> jayjo-: Well, IF the /swap partition exists - then the partition will be honored - else the system will create a swap file.
[01:57] <jayjo-> swapon on the server shows a Type: File being used, but on the desktop it's a Type partition at /dev/dm-1
[01:57] <jayjo-> Bashing-om: Ah, ok. I see why they're different now
[02:11] <DonovonFargan> Hi, is there an easy automated way of deleting zfs snapshots in Ubuntu desktop?
[02:12] <sarnold> DonovonFargan: if they are the automated snapshots, there should be a daemon to clean those up when the pool reaches a certain percentage..
[02:12] <DonovonFargan> Okay, thanks for that info.
[02:12] <sarnold> DonovonFargan: https://github.com/ubuntu/zsys
[02:13] <sarnold> DonovonFargan: there's some notes there on how to use the daemon but I don't see anything about tuning the snapshots to retain..
[02:17] <Bashing-om> DonovonFargan: didrocks did some extensive coverage on zsys: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/zfs-focus-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-blog-posts/16355 .
[02:18] <DonovonFargan> Thanks you so much.
[02:19] <Bashing-om> DonovonFargan: I do not recall much but snapshots are discussed.
[02:26] <jayjo-> Using LVM on both the server and desktop, is there a reason to prefer using a swap partition vs a file?
[02:28] <sarnold> it's probably no big difference with either one
[02:32] <GeekEyMon> would someone please suggest a search string or link to man page on "wired settings" id like to learn about what all the settings in the following areas actually control and how:Identity IPv4 IPv6 Security, ty for any help
[02:33] <GeekEyMon> "Wired settings"
[02:37] <tacomaster> sarnold, Thank you for this
[02:38] <sarnold> tacomaster: and thanks for the feedback; it's hard to know what exactly ismissing ;)
[02:46] <GeekeyMon> hey all could anyone suggest a search term or link to man page-id like to read/learn more about network settings ubuntu 20.04
[02:46] <fling> Show me ppa repository example in sources.list
[02:46] <fling> the launchpad.net line
[02:46] <GeekeyMon> namely the IPv4 IPv6 tabs and all the settings that can be changed and what they do
[02:47] <TaZeR> man NetworkManager ?
[02:49] <sarnold> fling: here's one I've got configured: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/arighi/zfs-linux/ubuntu bionic main
[02:50] <GeekeyMon> ty, just asking is NetworkManager a daemon run by systemd? is it a binary backend if not what backend is it using? and also for my case how would i find what the gui frontend on the desktop manager changes if it is indeed using the NetworkManager backend making changes
[02:51] <sarnold> GeekeyMon: yes, see eg: systemctl status NetworkManager
[02:52] <GeekeyMon> thanks man
[02:52] <GeekeyMon> both of yall
[02:52] <TaZeR> and the settings you input in the gui applet would basically be put in a .conf file in /etc somewhere
[02:52] <GeekeyMon> nice ty
[02:53] <sarnold> GeekeyMon: there's a metric ton of network settings.. I know of nothing that even comes close to documenting all the things that can be changed, nor with what tools..
[02:53] <GeekeyMon> starting to all fit together in my head now =)
[02:53] <sarnold> GeekeyMon: this describes some of the kernel features of networking https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/
[02:54] <GeekeyMon> this is cool it'll keep me going for an epoch
[02:54] <arooni> is there anyway to update afraid.org of my ip address when i'm using a vpn?
[02:54] <fling> sarnold: thanks
[02:54] <sarnold> GeekeyMon: this describes a lot of the iproute2-level of tools https://lartc.org/howto/
[02:54] <GeekeyMon> thanks dudes
[02:55] <GeekeyMon> nice
[02:55] <sarnold> GeekeyMon: this describes a lot of the NIC level settings https://linux.die.net/man/8/ethtool
[02:55] <sarnold> or, well, probably not the settings themselves, but the tool you can use to flip em..
[02:55] <GeekeyMon> roggie i got you :0
[02:55] <GeekeyMon> typo
[02:56] <GeekeyMon> ;)
[02:56] <Teryn> Took a little while, but I got the help I needed, changed 'enable_uart=1' to 'enable_uart=0' in both config.txt and syscfg.txt and I could boot up the Raspberry Pi 4 to Ubuntu Server 20.04 just fine. :D
[02:57] <sarnold> Teryn: sweet, thanks for reporting back :)
[02:57] <Teryn> Just wanted to thank you guys, waveform in particular, though he's not here atm...
[02:57] <fling> Which package is ppa keyring in?
[02:58] <Teryn> Gonna finish the setup tomorrow completely, but really digging the 64-bit speed boost so far.  Thanks again.
[02:58] <sarnold> GeekeyMon: okay, last two :) https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/ https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Main_Page
[02:58] <sarnold> fling: each ppa gets their own key
[02:58] <sarnold> fling: err, scratch that
[02:59] <sarnold> fling: each project / user gets a key for their ppas
[02:59] <sarnold> fling: check the 'technical details about this ppa' link on eg https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[02:59] <fling> so I need to add it with apt-key?
[02:59] <sarnold> fling: the add-apt-repository command can retrieve the key for you
[02:59] <fling> instead of getting a package
[03:00] <fling> thanks
[03:00] <GeekeyMon> props sarnold, "you the man!"
[03:00] <sarnold> GeekeyMon: hopefully this can keep you entertained a bit :)
[03:00] <GeekeyMon> rofl for a few days and then some on reread lols
[03:01] <GeekeyMon> and then.....
[03:04] <sarnold> :D
[03:43] <devslash> i cant inastall any packages because of an issue with dkms. it says dkms.conf wasnt found. I discovered that its missing this file for iomemory module
[03:43] <devslash> I cant figure out how to fix this issue
[03:49] <devslash> I was able to work around it by deleting the module directory in /var/link/dkms
[03:50] <Bashing-om> devslash: What now results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt -f install ' ?
[04:28] <Jari--> hi
[06:35] <DarkTrick> Could someone try this: press Ctrl+Alt+F12 and change back to Ctrl+Alt+F7. Check if Xorg process starts running hot with 100% CPU ?
[06:36] <DarkTrick> sry, wrong channel
[06:38] <tarzeau> where is the channel about ubuntu hirsute?
[06:39] <tarzeau> is the day nearing ubuntu will not work properly anymore after a apt-get --purge -uy remove snapd ?
[06:40] <tarzeau> my hirsute already had 9 snaps, removing snapd and all those the system is still working haven't tried a reboot yet though
[06:41] <Maik> tarzeau: #ubuntu+1
[06:43] <Maik> and if you find bugs, please repot them on Launchpad
[06:44] <Maik> repot/report
[06:48] <tarzeau> Maik: i prefer to use debian bts. no thanks to launchpad
[06:49] <tarzeau> or upstream
[06:50] <tarzeau> after having had a pretty bad experience with bug reporting via launchpad, they are just not looked at, processed, fixed, but more likely ignored
[06:50] <tarzeau> for years, if not decades of years
[06:58] <jmspeex> Hi, I have an AMD card for display and an nvidia one just for deep learning. For some reason despite now using the nvidia card for display, gdm doesn't allow me to run wayland. Any idea how to fix that?
[06:59] <tarzeau> jmspeex: what nvidia drivers do you use?
[06:59] <tarzeau> vesa? nv? nouveau? nvidia (binary)?
[07:02] <jmspeex> tarzeau: I need to use the proprietary crap because I need cuda for compute -- which is all I'm doing on that card
[07:03] <tarzeau> jmspeex: i think that and wayland don't fit together
[07:03] <jmspeex> I'm not even displaying though
[07:03] <jmspeex> the display is on an AMD 5500 XT card
[07:03] <tarzeau> jmspeex: you're not alone. we're alos heavy cuda users. nvcc directly? with cudnn? torch or tensorflow?
[07:04] <tarzeau> jmspeex: but the nvidia binary kernel driver is loaded?
[07:04] <tarzeau> jmspeex: you're on 20.04?
[07:04] <jmspeex> I'm on 20.04. I'm using cuda through tensorflow only
[07:05] <tarzeau> For some reason despite now using the nvidia card for display, gdm doesn't allow me to run wayland. Any idea how to fix that?
[07:06] <tarzeau> so that was wrong? lightdm/gdm? launches? did you check wayland logfiles, dmesg output?
[07:06] <jmspeex> no, not sure where to start
[07:06] <tarzeau> in a console. and figure out how to use wayland start it manually
[07:06] <tarzeau> i'm only familiar with X, not wayland sorry
[07:07] <tarzeau> (i gave wayland a try and scrot didn't work, so it's dead for me)
[07:08] <jmspeex> I had it working pretty well without the nvidia card, so I was hoping to use it even with the nvidia card computing in there
[07:24] <jmspeex> tarzeau: Actually, just succeeded
[07:24] <jmspeex> commented out the nvidia driver from the /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules blacklist
[07:31] <tarzeau> jmspeex: cool!
[07:38] <MrDeathWilder> oerheks: thanks for the help yesterday :-)
[08:00] <ksynwa> Hello. I am wondering what the best way of setting environment variables for a user is. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3.
[08:00] <ksynwa> I tried editing `~/.bash_profile` but it didn't work though the shell is /bin/bash.
[08:01] <ksynwa> Right now the file has a single line `export DOOMDIR=${HOME}/.config/doom.d`
[08:20] <ksynwa> Fixed it by putting it in ~/.profile
[09:12] <gdalusr> there seems to be a QGIS or QT packaging bug in ubuntu (atleast 18.04)
[09:39] <RonaldsMazitis> how to monitor only writes and deletes with inotifywait?
[09:40] <RonaldsMazitis> I need to know only when files are changed not accessed
[09:47] <RonaldsMazitis> anybody?
[09:48] <Maik> !patience
[09:51] <EriC^> RonaldsMazitis: try 'man iwatch'
[09:57] <RonaldsMazitis> so I can -e only one event at time
[09:57] <RonaldsMazitis> ok
[13:08] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[13:37] <alexandrdvorkin> hi
[13:37] <lotuspsychje> welcome alexandrdvorkin
[13:37] <alexandrdvorkin> why is the command diskutil not opening disk utility
[13:39] <lotuspsychje> alexandrdvorkin: is gnome-disks what you search for?
[13:39] <oerheks> +1
[13:41] <alexandrdvorkin> lotuspsychje thanks
[13:42] <alexandrdvorkin> so if i were to unmount a disk i would type gnom-disks unmount /dev/disk1?
[13:43] <oerheks> umount /dev/sdXY or use that grapical tool.. not sure why you want to start it from comandline
[13:44] <oerheks> !mount
[14:16] <aiena> I am using kubuntu not ubuntu but am unable to find a solution there. This is a more genenral question. While installing I ovberwrote my windows efi boot partition isntead of the linux one how can I migrate the di partition so I can repair the windows one?
[14:16] <aiena> is it possible
[14:18] <cbreak> you can copy the data between the partitions
[14:18] <cbreak> it's just files
[14:22] <ghost2911> Hello. What's the command to show only security related package to update ?
[14:23] <aiena> cbreak: is there anything else I need to do like edit fstab/something?
[14:24] <cbreak> not sure. You might want to change what is mounted into /boot/efi
[14:24] <lotuspsychje> ghost2911: why do you want to divide updates and not do them all?
[14:25] <ghost2911> cause want to separate security from the rest
[14:26] <aiena> cbreak: hmm interesting not sure wht i did while reinstalling but the partition I marked for EFI shows up with fdisk - l as 'BIOS boot' did I install as legacy?
[14:27] <cbreak> I always try to disable CSM / legacy bios support in the firmware
[14:27] <cbreak> if you can do that too and it still boots, then you're using EFI :)
[14:28] <aiena> i dont think I have legacy enabled
[14:28] <aiena> but I am confused
[14:28] <cbreak> if you have an EFI partition, a few hundred MB or so, with your boot manager and so on on, then that's for EFI support
[14:28] <aiena> there is one
[14:28] <aiena> moun ting it I do see 'EFI/Boot  Microsoft  opensuse  ubuntu' folders
[14:29] <aiena> but considering the windows efi files are still there i dont know why windows wont boot
[14:29] <aiena> and have no idea what those ubuntu and opesuse files are maybe of an older install
[14:31] <pavlos> aiena: if you have this line, /dev/sda1   2048     4095     2048   1M BIOS boot, you're on legacy not efi
[14:32] <aiena> pavlos: ok so that means my kubuntu is on legacy
[14:32] <pavlos> yes
[14:33] <aiena> so the other efi stuff is the efi partition may be junk from older installs
[14:33] <aiena> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dGpt8Rb3qB/
[14:35] <pavlos> aiena: sda2 should be 512MB EFI System, strange it is only 100M
[14:36] <aiena> it worked fine within 100m for some reason
[14:36] <aiena> then upgrading I screwed stuff up
[14:38] <aiena> actually this legacy thing solves another mystery for me when I installed proprietary nvidia drivers i didnt need to sign them my bios needs me to import keys manually and it froze the older install.
[14:41] <aiena> anyway thanks a lot
[14:41] <aiena> by upgrading i mean reinstalling
[14:41] <aiena> anyway thank you so much
[15:04] <cbreak> the size of the efi partition isn't really standardized
[15:11] <aiena> thanks a lot pavlos on further investigation it seems windows is fine after all. Its just that the legacy one boots automatically now and grub won't detect the efit windows boot.
[15:14] <coconut> ghost2911, maybe "unattended-upgrade" an option? I don't think it is configured by default, but it can do security only i think(i just did a duckduckgo on this).
[15:15] <ghost2911> yes this one I tried it updated also my kernel
[15:17] <coconut> yeah, it's all i know, hope it's enough. :)
[15:22] <ghost2911> ok thanks
[15:36] <SomeDamnBody> I woke up today, and my resolv.conf suddenly pointed itself at some systemd process, 127.0.0.53 and has a search zyxel.com line
[15:37] <SomeDamnBody> Which I am really surprised by. I thought have I been hacked?
[15:37] <Jordan-Xubuntu> Hi, Community, how are you? I'm Jordan and I would like to know if is there any solution for my black screen at start in Xubuntu 20.04, if you can help me, please?
[15:37] <Jordan-Xubuntu> I have a HP Pavilion with AMD Ryzen 5 Radeon 3500 laptop PC. I have had this problem with Ubuntu, too. The only way it boots is with Nomodeset. Thanks for your help.
[15:43] <ioria> Jordan-Xubuntu, i have  no experience with that hw, but you might try to install a newer kernel (linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04-edge)
[15:43] <SomeDamnBody> I just briefly restarted... does anybody know about resolv.conf
[15:46] <pasiz> SomeDamnBody: do you run some dns proxy in your machine
[15:47] <BluesKaj> SomeDamnBody, did you edit resolv.conf?
[15:47] <SomeDamnBody> hell no
[15:47] <SomeDamnBody> I do not run a proxy and I did not edit resolv
[15:48] <SomeDamnBody> I don't know why this would suddenly show up in it.
[15:48] <SomeDamnBody> This morning, I couldn't use my computer on the internet and I found that dns resolution was really slow
[15:48] <pasiz> # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
[15:48] <pasiz> disclaimer on ubuntu resolv.conf
[15:49] <SomeDamnBody> Yeah, I 127.0.0.53 was there
[15:49] <SomeDamnBody> But so was search zyxel.com
[15:49] <SomeDamnBody> I don't know who they are. How did they get in my resolv.conf
[15:49] <pasiz> that's for dhcp
[15:49] <pasiz> your domain is set to zyxel.com
[15:50] <pasiz> and preferably by dhcp
[15:50] <pasiz> so if you ping www, it's resolved to www.zyxel.com
[15:51] <pasiz> any problems to run ubuntu without snaps
[15:51] <pasiz> just opinions?
[15:52] <SomeDamnBody> Why is 127.0.0.53 there?
[15:55] <pasiz> it's explained on line 2 in your resolv.conf
[15:59] <leftyfb> SomeDamnBody: systemd-resolve --status|grep "DNS Servers"  # this will show you the actual nameserver being given out by your DHCP server (router)
[16:01] <leftyfb> SomeDamnBody: I'm going to assume zyxel is the brand of your modem/router. It's DHCP server is what configures your nameserver and the default search domain for your local network. All hosts on your network have a fully qualified domain name of hostname.zyxel.com. You should be able to change this on your modem/router's configuration tool
[16:03] <leftyfb> SomeDamnBody: to be clear, /etc/resolv.conf should not be manually modified when using an ubuntu desktop environment with DHCP. This is all done automatically as part of systemd and is completely normal
[16:08] <SomeDamnBody> Ok, I think I fixed it, but my hostname resolution is still terribly slow
[16:09] <pasiz> SomeDamnBody: how you fixed it?
[16:10] <pasiz> rebooted router or changed wires?
[16:22] <linearain> hi, when transferring a file via nautilus+sftp to a remote place, file modification date gets lost. If use command line tool sftp with -p option, timestamp gets preserved. How can I preserve filestamp when transferring files via gui nautilus sftp?
[16:22] <SomeDamnBody> I edited interfaces file
[16:23] <SomeDamnBody> pasiz,
[16:23] <coconut> The default update popup software, which tool is that?
[16:26] <ioria> coconut, you mean 'update-manager' ?
[16:33] <coconut> ioria, yes i do. Thnx :
[16:33] <coconut> :)
[16:33] <ioria> ok
[16:35] <leftyfb> SomeDamnBody: um, unless you're running Ubuntu 16.04 or older, there shouldn't be an interfaces file. And you certainly shouldn't be modifying that manually if you're running a desktop environment
[16:54] <SomeDamnBody> My network is still going really slow
[16:54] <SomeDamnBody> I don't know why systemd is so slow
[16:56] <pasiz> systemd doesn't handle your network
[16:56] <pasiz> is your network slow only on your ubuntu machine
[16:59] <pasiz> is other device intact?
[17:00] <gem_cat> has anyone installed freecad and will help?
[17:00] <oerheks> there is a #freecad channel here on #freenode
[17:01] <gem_cat> yes but nobody is home
[17:01] <leftyfb> SomeDamnBody: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[17:01] <gem_cat> ok i got a response
[17:02] <leftyfb> gem_cat: sudo apt install freecad
[17:04] <oerheks> or the snap version; https://snapcraft.io/freecad
[17:06] <oerheks> for the pro; https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-library  https://github.com/FreeCAD/Examples
[17:12] <pillager86> How do I get antlr4.9 for Ubuntu? The default package is 4.7
[17:13] <leftyfb> !latest | pillager86
[17:14] <pillager86> ok but I need compatibility with the 4.9 java library I downloaded
[17:15] <pillager86> nevermind i can just use the jar file directly
[17:21] <pavlos> gem_cat: you can add the freecad ppa (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable), then as others wrote, sudo apt update and sudo apt install freecad
[17:34] <faLUKE> hello. I can't change the speed of my mouse. Here's the output of xinput:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Hn2BFP5FN3/  .. how can I fix it? thanks
[17:34] <oerheks> faLUKE, on what ubuntu version?
[17:35] <faLUKE> oerheks: 20.04
[17:35] <faLUKE> lubuntu
[17:36] <faLUKE> obviouls, the GUI tool for setting it doesn't work either
[17:40] <oerheks> xinput --set-prop <dev> 267 <acceleration>
[17:40] <oerheks> so in your situation; xinput --set-prop 9 267 1.5
[17:41] <oerheks> if that does not work, nor the gui, file a bugreport?
[17:41] <faLUKE> oerheks:
[17:41] <faLUKE> paolo@paolo-GB-BPCE-3350C:~/temp$ xinput --set-prop 9 267 1.5
[17:41] <faLUKE> property '267' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
[17:43] <oerheks> oh, no clue there
[17:44] <faLUKE> oerheks: note that the property you say doesn't exist in my device. see the pastebin log
[17:45] <faLUKE> I tried also xinput --set-prop 9 312 0.3 . It doesn't show error but it doesn't change the result
[17:46] <oerheks> 0.3 ?
[17:46] <faLUKE> oerheks: tried different vals
[17:52] <Veidit> Good evening. I am working with idmapd.conf and what I understand is that I can use rpc.idmapd -f -c /etc/idmapd.conf to get it in the forground to debug? I am trying to use a static mapping from nfs server to my ubuntu 20.04 client. Is it even possible to match local userid with a remote userid or am I barking up the wrong tree?
[17:58] <Veidit> I have a feeling that I need to go the kerberos way instead.
[17:58] <Veidit> Something that I was hoping to be able to skip since it's just one server and two clients.
[18:04] <asenm> Hello, folks! Does this mean that my mmc card is dying [33471.098733] end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 0 [33471.104320] Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock0, logical block 0 My lsblk looks like this. https://pastebin.com/iy4kcbC3 that mtdblock0 ain't even mounted? how come i get errors from it?
[18:04] <leftyfb> asenm: more than likely. You can try repartitioning/reformatting and see if that resolves it, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
[18:05] <asenm> leftyfb my question is is this the flash memory dying or mmc card? This is some embeded device and not sure whats going on
[18:07] <leftyfb> asenm: the error you posted above was for mtdblock0. That is the device having issues
[18:07] <asenm> yeah but check my pastebin it ain't even mounted? how i can figure if that device is in use?
[18:08] <leftyfb> asenm: mount
[18:09] <asenm> leftyfb the only device mounted is /dev/mmcblk0p1 which is MMC but the error i get is from mTD?
[18:10] <asenm> the mtdblock0 is only 3M in size? https://pastebin.com/iy4kcbC3
[18:10] <leftyfb> asenm: right, so mtdblock0 is the device having issues. I don't think it has to be mounted in order for the system to detect issues with it.
[18:10] <pavlos> asenm: there is an mtd-utils pkg, install, then try mtdinfo
[18:11] <asenm> pavlos Count of MTD devices:           5Present MTD devices:            mtd0, mtd1, mtd2, mtd3, mtd4Sysfs interface supported:      yes
[18:11] <asenm> thats the output?
[18:11] <pavlos> asenm: I dont have mtd so cannot verify
[18:13] <pavlos> asenm: this may help, https://daemons.net/linux/storage/mtd.html
[18:15] <asenm> okay my question is how to find whats on that mtd  device and if its important? when its not even mounted? can it even be mounted?
[18:16] <oerheks> show de output of 'mount', your previous paste tells they are RO read only, likely a damaged filesystem
[18:17] <asenm> oerheks https://pastebin.com/NkE1cw8R
[20:37] <frib> my laptop with ubuntu 20.0 all of a sudden is hanging for like 3 minutes at startup. please help.
[20:45] <foxide> frib: Where is it hanging? Is there a specific message or service that its trying to start when it hangs?
[20:46] <TJ-> frib: likely waiting for the network. use "systemd-analyse blame" and "systemd-analyze critical-chain"
[20:50] <TJ-> analyze with a Z :)
[20:52] <osse> i blame snaps
[20:52] <osse> I have a 30 sec delay for no apparent reason
[20:53] <oerheks> maybe that happens on the 1st boot of that day, checking for updates
[20:55] <TJ-> osse: before or after getting the login greeter?
[20:55] <osse> TJ-:  before
[20:57] <osse> TJ-:  Like so: https://imgur.com/a/m9Q73pp
[21:06] <osse> output from systemd-analyze btw
[21:06] <jadax> ubuntu installer has the option to overwrite empty disk space for lvm & encrypted installs. What's the benefit of that?
[21:07] <jadax> is it so somebody who physically takes the drive cannot retrieve old data that may have been there before installing ubuntu?
[21:11] <frib> TJ-, the longest in `systemd-analyse blame` is 8.324s for NetworkManager
[21:12] <sarnold> jadax: the idea is to make it difficult to tell how much of the storage space is used
[21:12] <frib> I think I found something
[21:12] <sarnold> jadax: I'm not sure it works though
[21:12] <eelstrebor> would anyone know why my laptops battery icon comes and goes? i don't see any error messages and stats show that the battery is fully charged - ubuntu 18.04
[21:12] <frib> TJ-, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PTf8Bm3Wyy/
[21:14] <frib> that's the output of systemd-analyse critical-chain
[21:14] <jadax> sarnold ok, it's not any kind of critical feature then
[21:14] <frib> does that mean NetworkManager is holding up system at boot?
[21:14] <jadax> as long as I choose encryption, that's all I really need to protect the data that's within the volume
[21:19] <pavlos> frib: systemd-analyze blame may give you better info
[21:22] <cyphase> random thing, in case it hasn't been mentioned here; this recently released corpus of english text, intended for language modeling, includes "Ubuntu IRC" a one of the constituent datasets: https://pile.eleuther.ai/ https://pile.eleuther.ai/paper.pdf (search for "ubuntu")
[21:23] <cyphase> ogra, looks like you're featured in one of the samples in the paper :)
[21:23] <TJ-> frib: looks like something before sysinit.target
[21:30] <ogra> cyphase, heh, always happy to be an example 🙂
[21:35] <frib> pavlos, systemd-analyse blame just said 8.something seconds as the highest
[21:38] <lt> how to find all available versions of adb and replace the current version with an older specific version number? I've googled it and found about apt list -a <packagename> however it won't show me anything other than the installed version, same goes with apt-cache policy <pkgName>
[21:40] <oerheks> lt, seems like there is only one version? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-platform-system-core/
[21:41] <lt> oerheks: I'm actually trying this from debian-box but still the same resutl. I'm trying to do it directly/cleanly from apt instead of removing, installing and possibly breaking things
[21:43] <sarnold> lt: if you're on debian, this may be helpful http://snapshot.debian.org/
[21:44] <oerheks> maybe it can be done from the android sdk snap > https://snapcraft.io/androidsdk https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55634367/install-specific-adb-version-on-linux
[21:44] <geosmile> when you use "Windows+Right arrow" key on ubuntu 20.04 desktop, the window spins to right half. Is there a way to spin in to right quadrant?
[21:48] <lt> oerheks: I hate snap .. not that I'm really an expert but I had previous experience on doing all crazy nasty stuff to the system without even asking me, it was installing things or itself as daemon if I recall correctly
[21:49] <lt> snap is not going on my debian again
[21:49] <lt> rather prefer missing up the system manually and learn from mistakes than snap doing crap without me even knowing about it
[21:55] <oerheks> good, have fun in #debian
[22:01] <leftyfb> !debian | lt
[22:04] <leftyfb> !debian | lt
[22:04] <leftyfb> hm, broken bot?
[22:04] <oerheks> no, your previous command worked, time lock
[22:04] <leftyfb> ah, I got disconnected and missed it
[22:04] <leftyfb> sorry for the spam :)
[22:05] <oerheks> the snap route was truly the only way to obtain older packages, not asked for the reason to do so.
[22:07] <jayjo-> is there a way to get started with SAN mechanisms using VM's or some other tool that is not in the thousands of USD? I am looking at multipath from the server docs
[22:09] <jpds> jayjo-: SAN mechanisms? What are you trying to accomplish?
[22:56] <jpds> jayjo: If you want a SAN without having to buy expensive hardware, you're looking at deploying: Ceph/ZFS/Gluster
[23:13] <jayjo> jpds: thanks! sorry, I was having some connection issues earlier
[23:13] <jayjo> I have a ways to go on storage. I first started digging into it when NAS wouldn't work for a GitLab instance when I was trying to add redundancy
