| cousteau_ | Hey it's me! Remember when I was saying that I thought I had fixed my laptop freezing after I updated the graphics driver? Well I hadn't :( | 00:23 |

| cousteau_ | Jan 7 01:17:57 laptop kernel: [17740.937925] BUG: Bad page state in process firefox pfn:189001 | 00:31 |
| cousteau_ | A-HA! | 00:31 |
| cousteau_ | Now I know who's the culprit of my disgrace! | 00:31 |
| === cousteau_ is now known as cousteau | ||
| sarnold | cousteau: yikes :/ | 00:34 |
| cousteau | yeah I've been getting these strange crashes since forever. I suspect some foul play between Firefox and the Nvidia driver. | 00:37 |
| SomeDamnBody | Can anybody help me to debug my networking configuration? | 02:00 |
| sarnold | maybe, what's wrong with it? | 02:01 |
| MrDeathWilder | Hi peps, im lokking for a terminal with multiple terminals in, that will allow certain customization. allso should work for arm | 02:01 |
| genii | !info screen | 02:02 |
| ubottu | screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexer with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.8.0-1 (focal), package size 563 kB, installed size 998 kB | 02:02 |
| sarnold | screen and tmux are popular, you can run them in any terminal emulator of your choice | 02:02 |
| sarnold | there's a bunch of terminals with gui tabs too, if that's your thing | 02:03 |
| MrDeathWilder | genii: i mean for my desktop version on pi. :-) | 02:03 |
| SomeDamnBody | sarnold: Basically, during boot up, the wireless card can't be brought up properly. I think it is configured wrong on the disk. I had to edit some configuration files (resolv.conf and network/interfaces I believe) a couple of days ago because it was giving really really slow name resolution | 02:04 |
| SomeDamnBody | And then I think one morning I booted up, and suddenly ubuntu the OS and settings interface are saying there's no card. | 02:04 |
| MrDeathWilder | na, id like to have like irssi in one terminal ssh in another and so on. its purely for my ocd, i know i can open several terminal windows | 02:04 |
| sarnold | SomeDamnBody: what release are you using? | 02:05 |
| sarnold | MrDeathWilder: I've got irssi in one tmux window, a bash shell in another one.. | 02:05 |
| SomeDamnBody | So, I made a live usb, and I booted up and the live os was able to find it. So I know it's not a hardware issue | 02:05 |
| sarnold | MrDeathWilder: but if you're looking for something with tabs, I hear good things about konsole | 02:05 |
| SomeDamnBody | Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS, codename focal | 02:05 |
| SomeDamnBody | I'm pretty sure that pop os is just a small set of wrappers and additional software on top of ubuntu | 02:06 |
| sarnold | SomeDamnBody: ah, you'll have to ask pop folks for help | 02:06 |
| SomeDamnBody | Because their versions... | 02:06 |
| SomeDamnBody | no no no, it's ok | 02:06 |
| sarnold | SomeDamnBody: no, they replaced the kernel, too, so drivers are different, etc | 02:06 |
| SomeDamnBody | pop os is ubuntu, I swear | 02:06 |
| SomeDamnBody | They did? | 02:06 |
| sarnold | SomeDamnBody: yeah | 02:06 |
| MrDeathWilder | sarnold: not taps. just a more estetic way to use several terminals | 02:06 |
| raccoon_dog | No, it is not. It's different enough that you probably should ask them. | 02:06 |
| SomeDamnBody | How would I be able to just reset all my networking settings and reinstall drivers | 02:06 |
| sarnold | SomeDamnBody: my general advice is to hunt through journalctl output and try to find something related -- missing firmware blobs are common | 02:06 |
| sarnold | SomeDamnBody: also, check fwupd for firmware updates, that sometimes helps | 02:07 |
| sarnold | SomeDamnBody: but anything beyond that would be better done with people who know pop os | 02:07 |
| SomeDamnBody | I think it is something to do with networking settings, because it was working before and all of a sudden it's not. | 02:08 |
| SomeDamnBody | Not drivers or the kernel | 02:08 |
| SomeDamnBody | I'm going to have to reinstall the whole kernel, ugh | 02:08 |
| SomeDamnBody | the whole OS, I mean | 02:08 |
| sarnold | another big change is that in focal, /etc/network/interfaces isn't used -- it was replaced by netplan.io | 02:09 |

| pi0 | is it possible on ubuntu 20.04 to run a .desktop app as root | 02:21 |
| pi0 | trying to modify the .desktop with pkexec and that seg faulted | 02:21 |
| sarnold | you might be able to coax sudo into running it, if you configure your user to be able to run that command without a password prompt, and maybe convince sudo to run without a terminal maybe? dunno. it's pretty uncommon to run graphical programs as other users | 02:26 |
| sarnold | you might be able to run it via ssh X forwarding, maybe ssh -X root@localhost foo .. I've never actually seen anyone do that via a ,desktop file either, but maybe? | 02:27 |

| johns904 | hello, i'm trying to create a live usb with 20.10 but it won't boot. I have verified the image have tried gnome disks, ubuntu's Startup Disk Creator, Etcher and dd but nothing worked. | 03:33 |
| johns904 | 20.04 works with all of these apps | 03:34 |
| johns904 | and every other distro | 03:34 |
| johns904 | what changed in 20.10? | 03:34 |
| johns904 | my laptop uses UEFI but secure boot is disabled | 03:36 |
| RoseBus | will installing a package via snap instead of apt effect execution time? | 03:38 |
| johns904 | and btw today i tried to write the iso from a windows pc with RUFUS and it was the only one that worked so the image is definitely not broken | 03:39 |
| johns904 | i think something wrong with EFI partition in the USB that only rufus handles properly | 03:40 |
| johns904 | I think this is related to my problem: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/groovy-to-use-grub2-for-booting-installer-media-in-any-modes-on-all-architectures/16871 | 03:41 |
| === ericus- is now known as ericus | ||
| sarnold | RoseBus: I think I've heard tha tthe first execution of an application in a snap is slightly slower than you might hope for, but once it's running I'd expect it to be about the same | 03:46 |
| RoseBus | oh okay | 03:47 |
| RoseBus | also when i boot up ubuntu 20.04 it takes like 4-5 times as long as it did when i was running 18.04 is that normal? | 03:48 |
| sarnold | no | 03:48 |
| RoseBus | once it's running it's fine it just takes forever to boot up | 03:48 |
| RoseBus | windows boots up way faster than ubuntu | 03:49 |
| RoseBus | idk if it's because grub is not stored on the same disk as ubuntu or what | 03:49 |
| === gabkdlly_ is now known as gabkdlly | ||

| sarnold | RoseBus: my laptop is kinda non-standard, but my most recent boot, I had logged in 24 seconds after boot. that's not the ten seconds from a dozen years ago, but it's not terrible considering that was a few weeks ago :) heh | 03:52 |
| RoseBus | i haven't timed it but i estimate maybe 1.5-2min to boot up 20.04 on this machine | 03:53 |
| sarnold | owwww | 03:53 |
| RoseBus | all SSD, 16gig ram, decent MSI mobo | 03:54 |
| RoseBus | and when i had 18.04 on this machine it booted up really fast maybe like 20 seconds | 03:55 |
| sarnold | RoseBus: check the systemd-analyze manpage for 'plot', it can help find many common startup issues | 03:56 |
| RoseBus | okay | 03:56 |
| RoseBus | i will put that on my todo list | 03:56 |

| arther181 | Hi Guys, I have a text file. When I printing this file, some area of text file is missing in print out. When I reduce scale 100 to 80 then text is fit on printout but still a column is missing. Any idea where do I look to fix it?. | 05:12 |

| arther181 | above is the right printout as i want to print. | 05:16 |

| === ledeni_ is now known as ledeni | ||
| arther181 | Guys please suggest anything. | 05:30 |
| pasiz | arther181: i suggest you are using cups directly with lp or lpr | 05:45 |
| pasiz | assume | 05:45 |
| pasiz | have you setted your page size, margins etc. right | 05:47 |
| arther181 | pasiz I have few things from user manual you shared last time using lp. They did not worked for me. | 05:47 |
| arther181 | yes that is the first thing I did. I used 10x11 inch page size. | 05:48 |
| pasiz | so you have really big papers there. I'm metric guy from finland, our a4 is 210x297 millimeters | 05:50 |
| pasiz | so about 8 x 11 inches | 05:50 |
| pasiz | did you measure your paper | 05:50 |
| pasiz | 20 percent error is explainable by paper size. Of course you may have non standard pages. | 05:52 |
| arther181 | I can also use A4 paper size but my text file will not fit on it. I have tried printing or A4 also. | 05:53 |
| arther181 | latter moved on 10x11 inch | 05:54 |
| pasiz | so what is the physical size of your paper | 05:54 |
| arther181 | My paper is very little big then A4 in width. | 05:56 |
| pasiz | i would use: "lp -o portrait -o fit-to-page -o media=A4 file_to_print" | 05:58 |
| arther181 | okay, I did not used portrait option. | 06:00 |
| arther181 | Let me try it. | 06:00 |
| arther181 | pasiz\ | 06:09 |
| arther181 | I just got print https://pasteboard.co/JIuGhZs.jpg | 06:10 |
| arther181 | I used A4 paper. | 06:10 |
| arther181 | You can check printout in above link. | 06:10 |
| pasiz | -o cpi=10 option means 10 characters per inch | 06:12 |
| pasiz | and -o lpi=6 means 6 characters per inch | 06:12 |
| arther181 | I used cpi=12 and lpi=8. Now printout is little better. | 06:18 |
| arther181 | pasiz: Got the right print out by using "-o cpi=17 -o lpi=6". | 06:47 |
| arther181 | Do you know where I can set cpi and lpi as default? | 06:48 |

| Maik | Furai: afaik not, the first HWE kernel will be with the 20.04.2 release. Juts heard something seems to be wrong with the mirrors. Best to remove that kernel as someone else just reported to have issues with it. | 09:28 |
| Furai | I was using 5.9 anyway. | 09:29 |
| Furai | So someone pushed it out by a mistake, nice. | 09:29 |

| lordcirth | boltzmann, you got any PPAs? How long had it been since you upgraded? Was it a full-upgrade? Did the kernel update? | 19:46 |
| boltzmann | Very few PPAs, I sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade this morning, and i'm fairly certain the kernel upgraded, yes | 19:47 |

| boltzmann | In DKMS's logs, I get the following error: /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.271+bdcom/build/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c:462:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘get_ds’; did you mean ‘get_fs’? | 19:49 |
| lordcirth | boltzmann, look in /var/log/apt/history.log for the recent changes | 19:50 |
| boltzmann | Thanks, lordcirth. Looking in history.log, I did install and update a new kernel this morning (linux-headers, linux-modules, linux-image). Is there an easy way to undo changes? | 19:52 |
| lordcirth | boltzmann, just reboot and choose the previous kernel in the grub menu. If that works, you can look into removing the package. | 19:53 |
| boltzmann | Unfortunately, I tried booting with all 3 available kernels, and still get errors when installing the wifi drivers (bcmwl-kernel-source). | 20:06 |
| lordcirth | boltzmann, hmm, did bcmwl-kernel-source get updated? | 20:08 |
| boltzmann | lordcirth, it did not get updated recently, but when the wifi stopped working after a reboot, I decided to try to install the package again to see what happens, and I got the errors. | 20:09 |

| catalin | Hey! On Ubuntu 20.04 every time I open a terminal first command of any command is slow, it is something like the path searching is slow, after that it is cached or something | 20:20 |
| catalin | Any ideas on what happens in the background> | 20:20 |
| catalin | My bashrc is very minimal | 20:21 |
| lordcirth | catalin, if you open a second terminal window immediately after, it is still slow? What if you run "bash"? | 20:21 |
| catalin | no, its not slow afterwards | 20:21 |
| catalin | Only the first command of any type of command is delayed by one second(its searched I think in the path). Something like I type rustc wait one second, shows a message, type zig wait a second show a message and after that the commands are instant whenever I use them | 20:23 |
| lordcirth | catalin, only the first per boot? | 20:23 |
| catalin | Yes | 20:23 |
| tomreyn | deego: chekc df -h /boot and df -hi /boot - anything at 100%? | 20:23 |
| deego | tomreyn: yeah, was at 100%, been purging some old linux-images | 20:24 |
| deego | why is boot a separate partition? why doesn't that separate partition show up in mmy fstab or cryptttab? | 20:24 |
| catalin | lordcith: any ideas? | 20:25 |
| lordcirth | catalin, is your / an SSD or HDD? | 20:25 |
| tomreyn | deego: it's common to boot off a separate /boot file system when you have full disk encryption | 20:25 |
| tomreyn | deego: why it's not in fstab, i don't know, though. maybe it's listed by it's UUID instead | 20:26 |
| deego | tomreyn: in that case, shouldn't crypttab show that? | 20:26 |
| lordcirth | deego, can you pastebin /etc/fstab? | 20:26 |
| tomreyn | crypttab should point to what's encrypted. /boot isn't encrpyte din this setup | 20:26 |
| catalin | my / is a SSD and /home is a HDD partition | 20:26 |
| deego | ah, ok, will look, and paste after the reboot finishes | 20:27 |
| deego | thanks | 20:27 |
| lordcirth | catalin, then probably it's just loading some files from HDD slowly. Not that unusual. | 20:28 |
| jayjo | when should I run `update-initramfs -u`? I am looking at removing a 2-disk RAID array in order to use ZFS for them (they're really not used much), after making configuration cahnges to mdadm, do I need to run this command? | 20:28 |
| catalin | Is there any way to cache that 'some files' ? | 20:28 |
| catalin | My setup isn't changing that much | 20:29 |
| lordcirth | catalin, well, they do get cached in RAM once read, and won't ever be evicted unless you both run out of RAM and haven't used them recently | 20:29 |
| lordcirth | catalin, you could move /home to SSD and just have some dirs, eg Downloads, symlinked to HDD | 20:29 |
| tomreyn | jayjo: if thery'Re not needed for boot, i don't think yuo need to. | 20:30 |
| nunya_ | Is there a way to add an animation to show a program is opening? Most of the programs I use in Ubuntu with cinnamon show this application opening animation but a few do not. | 20:30 |
| catalin | lordcirth: I run sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda on my HDD and this is the result: Timing cached reads: 36672 MB in 2.00 seconds = 18367.78 MB/sec, Timing buffered disk reads: 390 MB in 3.01 seconds = 129.43 MB/sec. Is this that slow? | 20:33 |
| lordcirth | catalin, it's not about sequential, it's random seeks | 20:34 |
| catalin | If only I knew how to search this thing on web, maybe I could find something | 20:35 |
| sarnold | catalin: what's your PATH? does it have ~/bin in it before /usr/bin, etc? | 20:37 |
| sarnold | catalin: if so, try stuffing ~/bin at the *end* of your PATh | 20:37 |
| catalin | It makes sense that you say that, I always prefixed my path in my .bashrc with new things, I have been doing it all wrong | 20:38 |
| sarnold | catalin: every individual shell needs to look up every command, check eg "help hash" at the bash prompt, if you're using another shell there's probably somethin gsimilar | 20:38 |
| catalin | and sabotage even my ssd executables | 20:38 |
| catalin | I use bash | 20:38 |
| sarnold | catalin: well, prefixing is handy if you want to replace things | 20:38 |
| catalin | Since I am not replacing something already installed it is not so useful for *me | 20:39 |
| sarnold | catalin: the kernel will try to keep around "negative dentries" for requested files that didn't exist, but since they're by definition useless, under the slightest memory pressure they'll get thrown away, which probably means every 'first' command in a terminal winds up going to your hdd first | 20:39 |
| sarnold | s/terminal/shell/ | 20:39 |
| boltzmann | Hey lordcirth, thank you so much for your help earlier. I uninstalled bcmwl-kernel-source and installed broadcom-sta-source + broadcom-sta-dkms + broadcom-sta-common, and everything is working again. | 20:44 |
| lordcirth | boltzmann, great! | 20:47 |
| lordcirth | sarnold, very interesting! I wouldn't have thought that there would be a performance impact based on ordering. | 20:48 |

| vimart | I've tried to enable again lightdm: systemctl enable lightdm but is printing some notice why can't be enabled, so I've done: systemctl unmask ligtdm and according to google should do: systemctl demon-restart but command not recognised. | 21:29 |
| sarnold | vimart: there's a daemon-reexec and a daemon-reload subcommand to systemctl, no such thing as demon-restart | 21:30 |
