[00:01] pyeverything: did you find the source of the packages/ :) [00:34] when downloading source from git and doing make and make install,later on to update,i just repeat the process or do i need remove the old stuff? [00:35] vlm: it depends upon the project [00:36] sarnold, so i could end up with having to manually remove it? Is there any how to remove manually insatlled stuff? [00:37] vlm: there's a 'checkinstall' tool, that can help you keep track of what you installed when you installed, if you use it when installing things by hand [00:37] Some source code has make options like uninstall, distclean, or such [00:37] vlm: I'll be honest though I never used it before, I'm not sure how well it works [00:38] sarnold, genii thanks both! [00:42] why is cmdtest being installed when I try to install yarn? [00:42] Reading state information... Done [00:42] Note, selecting 'cmdtest' instead of 'yarn' [00:43] !info yarn [00:43] Package yarn does not exist in focal [00:44] I've done searches, I'm using nvm, and I've remove+purged, updated, reinstalled. ooh...funny nobody mentioned that. why would it select a totally different package as if it's a replacement? [00:44] Seven_Six_Two: The binary yarn is contained within the package cmdtest [00:46] interesting. thanks genii [00:47] If you're looking instead for yarn as it relates to nodejs there is another package called yarnpkg in the Universe repository [01:00] oh ok. I just added their ppa, and it's all good now [01:26] there's a package I can't install, when I try apt-install php-gettext, I get "E: Unable to locate package php-gettext" How do I find out what repo it is in? I tried "add-apt-repository universe" but still it can't install php-gettext and gives that error. [01:27] barg: package php7.4-common has a Provides: .. php7.4-gettext .. entry -- it probably has what you need [01:28] thanks, is there a website or command that gives that info? [01:29] ah that doesn't say what the repo is.. And what if a new php comes out i'd have to guess the name of the package that provides php-gettext? [01:29] barg: sortof, hehe; I used apt-cache search php gettext, saw a list of a handful of packages and figured php7.4-common from that list looked most likely to have some answers; then ran apt-cache show php7.4-common | grep gettext to see if I had guessed correctly [01:30] barg: if you've got php installed on one release, it'll probably just be upgraded to whatever is in the next release when you run do-release-upgrade [01:30] barg: at least, if you've got the php metapcakage installed.. [01:36] why is it that when I do apt-get install php7.4-common then apt-get install php-gettext, then I still get that error? [01:36] there's no php-gettext package; the Provides: says that php7.4-command will satisfy the needs of whatever package Depends: on php7.4-gettext [01:37] I'm hoping this is enough for you to use gettext in your php applications [01:37] ok, thanks [02:01] hi, i have a local network 192.168.1./24 and there is a station 192.168.1.29 where vnc server is running on port 5633, when i open a ssh tunnel -L11000:192.168.1.29:5633 remote_hot and then try to telnet localhost 11000 its refusing connection;;; how can i pretend i am accessing it from 192.168.1.0/24? thanks [02:06] sounds like you are on 192.168.1/24? [02:06] AllowTCPForwarding was the issue === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:21] hello === riex is now known as starz === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK_ === veegee_ is now known as veegee [02:46] Is there a workaround for this bug on 20.04? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-14/+bug/1868699 [02:46] Launchpad bug 1868699 in openjdk-14 (Ubuntu) "jlink fails due to unexpected hash of java.* modules" [Undecided,Confirmed] [03:17] Where is the location of openjdk-14-doc? [03:18] I installed it but javadoc isn't showing in Eclipse [03:20] Hi all. For a custom usage scenario (related to playing music live) I would like to make an ubuntu installation which is really "barebone". I want the essential to run xfce, and no daemons that are not absolutely necessary for the purpose (for instance no cups :)). What would be a good way to start? Ubuntu-minimal? Ubuntu-server? [03:21] My aim is to be sure no daemon may interrupt the low-latency processes at any time. [03:21] considering e.g. apport, cron, whatever [03:22] vincenzoml: see: https://unit193.net/xubuntu/core/ . [03:24] Bashing-om, interesting. So the official installation method of xubuntu-core is to install the minimal iso and then select the xubuntu-core task [03:26] in other words the minimal iso is suitable as a start for a desktop system? I thought it was mostly for docker & c [03:26] Having an odd issue on 20.04. Switched from Nvidia to AMD, solved my instability issues, but now monitors won't stay off... [03:26] vincenzoml: Correct. Also, 20.10 isn't noted to be "released" on that page, but only because some had problems with the installer whereas others didn't. So a bit of a hard call. [03:26] vincenzoml: The above core install installs the xfce4 GUI and but only a few other most used apps - up to you what else you deem worthy to install. [03:27] but does it avoid installing e.g. apport or mlocate? [03:27] mini.iso comes with the bare minimum, which doesn't include an interface. 'xubuntu-core^' should be a pretty minimal Xubuntu system. [03:27] wait a second... Is there a way to see a running dump of *all* input events seen by the X server? [03:27] I didn't get also the 20.10 bit, is there an ubuntu minimal iso of 20.10? [03:28] Is this asafe start? https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/daily/ [03:28] I could get groovy from there [03:28] vincenzoml: yeah that's probably a good starting point [03:29] vincenzoml: With the minimal install one has to exert a bit more effort - the core install does include apport but not mlocate. [03:30] roothorick: evtest maybe? [03:30] which is already reasonable [03:30] now in the daily images there's an "img" file, but no ISO [03:30] how do I proceed [03:30] ? [03:31] those images are 'live' images, not installers; you can spin them up directly in a VM and be running in seconds that way [03:32] I think you should be able to dd those to a drive and boot into it; my guess is it'll resize the filesystem to suck up the whole drive on first boot [03:32] From the logs it looks like amdgpu "forgets" either monitor exists and rebuilds the layout from scratch, triggering the wake. At least, it's dumping the EDID in the log each time [03:33] I guess I could try wayland, but that has its own issue (confuses the crap out of SteamVR for one) [03:35] but so, ubuntu minimal doesn't have an installer currently? [03:35] or better put, there's no bootable iso with ubuntu minimal and an installer? [03:37] by reading here, I'm right: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1291913/where-is-the-minimalcd-mini-iso-for-groovy-gorilla [03:37] vincenzoml: 20.10 X core: https://unit193.net/xubuntu/core/pending/ . [03:38] okay now I'm confused. It does the exact same thing under wayland [03:38] Bashing-om, are you the developer or one of the developers of that ISO? [03:38] vincenzoml: No - just a lowly user :D [03:39] it's a pity there's no installation path that starts from a ubuntu-supplied iso [03:39] (not the fault of the iso, indeed) [03:40] vincenzoml: There is - Have you seen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ? [03:42] yes, the latest version seems to be 18.10 [03:42] sorry 18.04 [03:42] oh, there's 20.04 at the download link, but I learned elsewhere it is no longer supported for 20.10 [03:43] probably not very useful for the majority of users [03:43] FWIW, I'm Unit 193 from that site. [03:43] vincenzoml: I do run on old hardware hense my experience with minimal installs -- and from a bare minimum I find the core install much faster and easier for a minimum/reasonable foundation. [03:45] @WrathOfAchilles, nice to meet you! :) [03:46] WrathOfAchilles: you hide in the strangest of places :) [03:47] sarnold: Always! [03:47] WrathOfAchilles, so you also confirm, if I want to install xubuntu-core starting from ubuntu 20.10, the only current way is getting your iso? [03:47] (or, getting the unsupported 20.04 minimal iso, do-release-upgrade, then apt install xubuntu-core^) [03:48] I'm utterly confused, what could prevent the monitors from going to sleep... [03:49] all of this, as a start, since I have a disfunctional 19.10 install. It doesn't have extfs. [03:50] sorry, exfat [03:51] !info exfat-utils | vincenzoml [03:52] vincenzoml: exfat-utils (source: exfat-utils): utilities to create, check, label and dump exFAT filesystem. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-1 (focal), package size 39 kB, installed size 227 kB [03:52] do note that 19.10 reached end of life in july 2020 [03:53] sarnold, that's precisely why I want to install a new system! :) Yes now I installed exfat-utils, thanks. I had not even tried because apt is broken since days, it can't find packages. But adding universe worked instead. Good! [03:53] Now i can add the xubuntu-core iso to my ventoy usb stick! [03:54] vincenzoml: if 19.10 is fine except for being six months out of date, you could run do-release-upgrade and get focal on the system with very little effort [03:55] vincenzoml: that'd upgrade what needs to be upgraded, replace things that were replaced, etc, but should be pretty similar to what it is now [03:55] Kind of rather unfortunate to have mini.iso go away, bah.. [03:56] sarnold, I don't have enough free space for do-release-upgrade! [03:56] it's time to reinstall sometimes [03:56] but I can't still use my exfat [03:56] ERROR: 'ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso' is empty but start cluster is 0x3359e. [03:56] I recall having read errors on that file [03:57] but now how do I mount that? [03:57] I tried fsck.exfat -a /dev/sdb1 but it lists the errors without fixing them [03:58] ok I recreated that filesystem... who cares in the end :) [03:58] thanks all for your support, time to reboot! [03:59] bye all [04:17] tracked down my issue... to a bug in AMDGPU DC, reported two years ago *to the day* and still hasn't been fixed... and something changed, because the proposed workaround only partially works... [04:21] roothorick: oof. well, at least it's nice to have a *cause* identified === JoeBk_ is now known as JoeBk [04:38] fun fun... basically due to quirky monitor firmware the driver thinks the monitor was momentarily unplugged [04:38] I actually had a similar but inconsistent issue with the preceding nvidia card, and blamed it on nvidia's drivers... it probably was the monitor itself all along [04:43] workaround: when not in use, manually turn off the monitor via hardware switch. It registers as an unplug, so there's nothing to debounce. [05:31] Hi, I have libc6:amd64 in a half-installed state and I'm having trouble rectifying iy [05:51] Fresh install of 20.04, login screen looks fine, but after typing my password the screen is just a qlickly flashing purple and black solid color. I can press ctrl F1 to get back to the login screen again. Any idea how to fix this? [06:02] octav1a: ctrl + f1, login there and check what graphics card you got by inxi -G once you logged in at the prompt perhaps you need a nvidia driver. [06:03] chalarm: it has amd card [06:03] octav1a: can be a AMD driver thing too [06:03] does it have a Radeon RX? [06:04] Do they need a proprietary one too? I'm not too up to speed on it. It's RX 570 [06:04] octav1a: if it's a RX570 mostlikely you want to install the proprietary driver. [06:04] octav1a: https://linuxconfig.org/amd-radeon-ubuntu-20-04-driver-installation there a few ways to proceed even through 3rd party ppa. [06:05] chalarm: awesome, I will give them a shot, thank you for the suggestion. [06:08] good luck octav1a. [06:09] it's known that AMD/NVIDIA can act up out of the box on any linux distro. [06:54] Good evening :) [06:55] good afternoon chalcedony` [06:56] i'm trying to help my hubby with his computer which keeps freezing. We have tried so many things and it seems to be doing it every few minutes after a reboot now. [06:56] He has ubunut 20.04 and a Ryzen 5 processor. [06:56] does he see some messages or just freezes and that's it. [06:57] just freezes. the mouse moves but he can't click or type [06:58] chalcedony`: can you provide me with the following on his computer while it's still 'working' open terminal and: inxi -Frxzc0 | nc termbin.com 9999 [06:59] this will create a termbin link, if you can provide the link in here we can at-least look at the exact hardware he's working with. [06:59] chalarm we just tried a solution "Apparently it's due to over queueing of frames, and setting the environment variable _GL_MaxFramesAllowes=1 solves the issue" It froze after that, too. [07:01] if you can't provide the termbin i can't help you, i'm sorry. would love to help but then just need to know the information through the termbin above and might want him to export more data but without data providing any form of help is .... 8-balling it and i won't be doing that. sorry chalcedony` [07:01] i will try that chalarm just a moment [07:03] chalarm inxi command not found [07:03] sudo apt install inxi [07:03] chalcedony`: when the GUI 'freezes' is it possible to switch to a text console with Ctrl+Alt+F2 for example? (where you'd get a "login:" prompt and could investigate logs etc. whilst GUI is frozen [07:03] I'm just so used to inxi :-) [07:04] hi TJ- another interesting idea! I haven't tried that [07:04] i expect the display driver to freeze actually, that's why i wanted the 'hardware' output which inxi provides. [07:05] It could be that all input focus has been frozen/is blocking due to something hogging the CPU on the GUI main loop [07:05] chalarm https://termbin.com/gvmf [07:05] aha NVIDIA graphics thought that much already. [07:06] chalcedony`: did you guys install the nvidia graphics drivers or not? [07:06] and indeed TJ-'s tip to check a alternative TTY (CTRL+ALT+F1,F2,F3) while the freeze occurs is wisdom. [07:06] ok [07:07] chalarm he doesn't think he installed it, he had a stroke, memory is affected. [07:07] chalcedony`: dpkg -l | grep nvidia [07:07] chalcedony`: can you also show us "pastebinit <( journalctl -k )" [07:07] no worries we can confirm, if it's there or not. if the driver isn't there. [07:08] is that dpkg lower case -l ? [07:08] chalarm ^ [07:08] chalcedony`: yes it is. [07:08] "L" > "l" aka --list [07:09] chalarm it didn't come back with anything on the dpkg [07:09] so the dpkg -l | grep nvidia doesn't give anything? [07:09] right chalcedony` ? [07:10] chalarm yes it didn't [07:10] insatlling dpkg [07:10] oops pastebinit ;P [07:11] the nc termbin.com 9999 does pretty much the same if it makes you happier. [07:11] well we got it anyhow [07:12] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NScfkwk3B5 [07:12] never the less, this means he's using the opensource nouveau driver mostlikely as this comes out of the box and we just confirmed that he didn't have any package with "nvidia" installed. [07:13] ok yes [07:13] and as he has NVIDIA propriatery hardware this is 99% the case of the GUI crashing, this would be confirmed by the TTY that keeps working. [07:14] protip: Don't forget to remove any of the environment settings you put in place before installing the driver. [07:14] ahh [07:14] ok how do we get the NVIDIA drivers? [07:15] chalcedony`: https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/how-to-install-nvidia-driver-on-ubuntu/ [07:15] thanks :) [07:15] chalarm: "ubuntu-drivers" [07:15] skip to the part where Settings & Lifepatch is at. [07:15] ok [07:16] chalcedony`: usually, for proprietary drivers, use "ubuntu-drivers devices" to discover what is available and "ubuntu-drivers install ..." to install the recommended driver [07:16] TJ-: Ubuntu-drivers is in the link i just provided. [07:17] ubuntu-drivers autoinstall should be the easy way of doing it. [07:17] chalarm: autoinstall was deprecated to avoid problems with it making the wrong choice :) [07:18] 2 steps forward, 1 back :D [07:18] hah. sorry i sometimes miss the 'news' however if that's the case sure. [07:20] i know that feeling! technology these days feels more like an out-of-control snowball rolling down a mountain-side! [07:20] anyways I'm too used to providing support with inxi that's why i let people install it TJ. It's easier for myself too as now in a one liner i can see it's a Device-1: NVIDIA GT218 [GeForce 210] vendor: eVga.com. driver: nouveau [07:20] TJ: you know after 'doing' opensource for 20 years, everything just becomes binary at some point. [07:20] chalarm: no arguments there; I only manage to drop in here occassionally these days [07:21] chalarm: funny things is, for me, inxi hides too much info. I'm far more comfortable with raw output I can actually relate to underlying drivers, e.g. lspci -nnk and kernel log :) [07:22] for me it's kinda like a way to 'give back' and 'be better' you know, since for a lot of persons reading and providing the asked information (had somebody yesterday not here) whom simply didn't want to provide a " inxi -Frxzc0 | nc termbin.com 9999" [07:23] TJ: i would say i'm comfortable with that but i also would like the person I'm trying to help to understand what i'm actually asking from them and when it comes to kernel log, they don't have a clue 99%. [07:23] and these driver related problems we can troubleshoot without having the kernel log imho. As we see a NVIDIA prop chipset on nouveau and this has been a PITA for a bigger time. [07:23] chalarm: indeed - my experience has been that without the raw info, it can often take hours to finally identify and solve and issue that was revealed in kernel log :) [07:23] chalcedony`: how are you managing? [07:24] TJ-: anyways, different ways to get to a same result, a happy user. [07:25] if that's the end-result I'm happy for them and myself. can't always get to that point however. [07:28] chalarm it doesn't have any Ubuntu-drivers? [07:29] hubby doesn't remember how to find the main screen either, so using command line (i can find that) [07:30] Ubuntu-drivers is with a capital U you didn't by any chance use the lowercase right? [07:30] chalarm so now sudo autoinstall them [07:30] chalcedony`: GUI is usually either on tty7 or tty1. From a text console that's Alt+F7 or Alt+F1 [07:31] thanks chalarm i told him, is it ok to continue with commands? [07:32] chalarm, I used upper case. [07:33] we can do it command line yes: Ubuntu-drivers gives what? "Ubuntu-drivers: command not found"? [07:34] [23:30:12] chalcedony`: GUI is usually either on tty7 or tty1. From a text console that's Alt+F7 or Alt+F1[23:30:12] chalcedony`: GUI is usually either on tty7 or tty1. From a text console that's Alt+F7 or Alt+F1[23:30:12] chalcedony`: GUI is usually either on tty7 or tty1. From a text console that's Alt+F7 or Alt+F1[23:30:12] chalcedony`: GUI is usually either on tty7 or tty1.

[07:35] the cat walked on the laptop .. so sorry [07:36] lolz. it appears the manual was wrong in this case it's small case [07:36] try that please [07:36] ubuntu-drivers [07:36] without anything [07:36] ok [07:36] if that atleast gives some feedback: ubuntu-drivers devices [07:37] ubuntu-drivers devices | grep recommended [07:37] chalarm it offers Usage and Commands [07:37] chalcedony`: so by any mains: ubuntu-drivers devices | grep recommended [07:38] charlm it didn't say that and it's still downloading. [07:38] ok then we just wait :-) [07:38] okies :) [07:39] chalarm laughing it's saying 1 hour and a lot of minutes.. we have a VERY tiny connection [07:39] so, take your time, i'll brb. [07:43] I'm back, needed todo a quick reboot. [07:55] chalcedony: question: how many hours remaining *harhar* [07:57] chalarm it keeps getting more, i'm on 42 [07:58] chalcedony`: oone of the things i noticed was you're using the us mirror are you based in the us? [07:58] 28% .. and yes we are us [07:59] we just are out in the country and slow dsl is all they offer here [08:00] just need to sit it out. need these stuff anyways :-) [08:14] chalcedony`: roll on StarLink then! [08:15] ZzZ waiting for the Internet in the US to be great again *sorry bad joke, couldn't resist and I'm not trolling chalcedony`* [08:16] chalarm sometimes you wonder if it is even moving [08:17] chalcedony`: I can tell you in the US it's far from moving but too much political stuff involved too providers not evolving their networks. [08:18] (sorry this networking thing has been my field of work for the best decade+). [08:19] chalarm there has been some progress, a big grant to boost rural internet, it's playing out slowly [08:19] we are lucky to have the dsl.. they cut off our neighbors and hopefully comcast will come this way at some point [08:19] chalcedony`: the problem is the technology behind it, to boost rural internet, one can for example move to a technology which is called GPON, however for a lot of providers they want to keep doing what they're doing. [08:20] so that's indeed comcast (docsis) or dsl. [08:20] comcast should be fiber & cable [08:20] I'm based at the otherside of the globe, if you don't believe it's a flat thing. I'm based in Thailand here 'broadband' based on Fiber and GPON has been the standard and the way they're deploying it.... [08:21] flat thing? [08:21] chalcedony`: don't forget comcast is coming from being a 'cable' company and therefore politics within the company will be in place to remain mainly cable based (docsis) [08:21] yes [08:21] chalcedony`: some people consider the world not round, i don't argue with them :-) [08:21] people, i need your help in downgrading a program, in my system i have gromacs 2020 gromacs 2019 how can i do that with apt? [08:22] haha [08:22] it's finally unpacking chalarm :) [08:24] Done! [08:24] chalcedony`: comcast as a mainly cable based company with still strong roots as a cable company. therefore it's internal politics will always strongly push docsis. [08:24] anyways, doesn't matter if people get Internet and not DSL (and again VDSL2+ can be a feasible working alternative). [08:25] chalcedony`: great. [08:25] yes. um you meant flat earth :) [08:25] ubuntu-drivers devices | grep recommended [08:25] if you're there :-) [08:25] the company with dsl wants to get rid of it [08:27] chalarm driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free recommended [08:27] chalcedony`: ubuntu-drivers install nvidia-340 [08:27] should do the trick :-) [08:28] chalarm, fantastic [08:29] and after that a reboot (shutdown -r now or reboot) and let us know if your husband can then enjoy his computer for longer then a few minutes. [08:29] obviously it might need sudo infront of it but i guess you already guessed that chalcedony` for installing the driver: sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia-340 [08:30] ok [08:31] and the sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -r now :-) [08:31] I hope we fix your husbands problem. [08:32] chalarm after all that "No drivers found for installation" [08:32] huh [08:32] that's what i said [08:32] chalcedony`: sudo ubuntu-drivers list [08:32] ok [08:33] chalcedony`: sudo apt install nvidia-340 this would do the same. [08:33] if it's really 'bitching' as it did give us the tip for the nvidia-340 drivers. [08:33] chalarm it listes nvidia-340 [08:33] so that's great. [08:33] so now proceed with the: sudo apt install nvidia-340 [08:33] yes but it couldn't install them [08:34] i'll try it again [08:34] try this instead of the ubuntu-drivers thing as it's just a wrapper. [08:34] so sudo apt install nvidia-340 instead of sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia-340. [08:35] chalarm it says it's already the newest version [08:35] ok perhaps it did do magic for you :-) [08:35] i guess it did one way to find out reboot :-) [08:35] ok [08:35] ctl -r you said/ [08:35] ? [08:36] ctrl+alt+del if you want 3 finger solute or type sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -r now [08:36] after reboot: inxi -G [08:37] okies it's restarting [08:38] chalcedony`: after reboot we want to see: "inxi -G | pastebin" [08:38] we also want to see a GUI :) [08:39] TJ-: that's a extra. :-0 [08:39] oh weird, it's erroring i think .. something new. numbers snd_hda_intel 00009:00.3 : Noresponse from codec, resetting bus last cmd= [08:40] it keeps doing that [08:40] chalarm i don't think it's booting [08:42] hm. that's bad news we didn't want to here. [08:42] ouch - that suggests possibly the HDMI audio channel problem [08:43] chalarm: is that error message continuing or did it stop after a few reports? [08:43] you mean chalcedony` ^ [08:46] chalarm, TJ- it seems to have frozen. [08:48] It printed INFOtask systemd-shutdow1 blocked for more than 362 seconds. Not tainted 5.4.0-59-generic #65 ubuntu .. a block of stuff RIP: 0033:0x8f1009c37487 [08:48] Code Bad RIP value. [08:49] chalcedony`: oh... this was a result of the shutdown not completing, rather than during the fresh boot ? [08:49] then i have lines with RSP: RAX: RDX: RBP R10: R13: and froze [08:49] this is restarting [08:49] chalcedony`: in which case hold the power button down for about 5-10 seconds so it is forced off, then restart [08:50] you can try booting with nomodeset but anyways i'll hand you over too TJ for a bit. [08:51] i certainly appreciate your help chalarm :) [08:51] TJ- he's rebooting it [08:52] your more then welcome chalcedony` [08:52] that worked :) [08:52] a reboot and it worked? booted? [08:55] anyone here use protondb in ubu 20.04? [09:12] Hello, on my keyboard i have a FN key. When i press FN+F10 (Play/Pause) while a video in firefox is paused, it plays/pauses the video instead of music in spotify. Is there a way i can "ban" firefox or letting ubuntu ignore it? Or making spotify always priority #1? [09:15] (I'm using vanilla gnome) [09:21] Salatwurzel: my guess is that it will apply it to whatever window has focus (in your case that would be firefox) [09:25] ThinkT510, I'm using it mostly when World of Warcraft is focused, that's what it makes so annoying ;) [09:55] how to change language in terminal/console ? [09:59] I got it , soz, sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [10:29] toymaker: best to ask your specific issue in the channel [10:36] hello, I just did upgrade to 20.04 from 18.04 and receiving this when logged in my user: ls: reading directory '.': Permission denied [10:36] permissions are fine [10:46] prOMiNd: did you get a shell though? is ths a server, or a desktop? [10:46] server 20.04 [10:46] getting weird errors: user@1000.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE [10:49] so you got a shell, or not? [10:51] Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2021-01-09 12:49:39 EET; 1min 1s ago [10:51] yes I do [10:51] but when I type ls it prints the error in my first message, rsync is not working and is needed [10:52] does apt look ok? sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade [10:52] yes [10:52] fully updated [10:52] no warnings, no errors? [10:52] yes [10:52] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [10:52] full-upgrade also complete? [10:53] yep [10:53] journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [10:54] is the ubuntu-server package installed? [10:55] its systemd error as I read [10:55] systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller=1 [10:56] prOMiNd: looks like a logind failure; what does "pwd" report? [10:56] same directory as it should be [10:57] prOMiNd: what about "id" ? [10:57] prOMiNd: or better, "id -n" [10:57] same as my user, these are checked long before I ask, the issue seems to be in systemd [10:57] running some tests now and will report [10:59] prOMiNd: for a permission denied response, it'd be either ownership or modes, or possibly ACLs [10:59] can´t recall doing any ACLs [10:59] just upgraded to 20.04 and it appeared, nothing else is changed [10:59] prOMiNd: have you checked with "getfacl ." [11:00] hm, no [11:00] acl is not even installed [11:00] prOMiNd: I'd also try running "strace ls" to capture at what point the permission denied is being generated; it may give some clues [11:01] good point [11:01] prOMiNd: current directory does have x (traverse) bit set? [11:01] readlink("/proc/368531/exe", 0x7fff03c77a70, 256) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) [11:02] write(2, ": Permission denied", 19: Permission denied) = 19 [11:06] prOMiNd: strange; running 'strace ls' here (which succeeds) I see no attempts to access any /proc/{PID}/ node at all [11:06] no clue [11:06] rebooted and now it doesn´t come back [11:07] prOMiNd: you mean it won't boot, or the error has gone away? [11:08] won´t boot [11:08] prOMiNd: where does it get stuck? [11:08] no idea, its 100km away from me [11:09] hello all you good people [11:09] welcome unimatrix9 [11:09] prOMiNd: KVM/IPMI ? [11:09] how is it going around here ? [11:09] nope, will deal with it on Monday, thanks for all the help :) [11:10] unimatrix9: come over to #ubuntu-discuss for a chitchat [11:10] i have a rather technical quest, is there a way to hack the highlighting text , so that it does underline instead of a color box [11:10] ( no chitchat ) [11:11] ubuntu 20.01 LTS [11:11] alll tips are welcome [11:12] unimatrix9: in what application? [11:12] unimatrix9: which software are you referring to? [11:12] evince / firefox / gedit -- system wide i guess [11:13] and you probably mean Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS [11:13] true [11:13] can you post a screenshot to imgur.com [11:13] unimatrix9: so far I as I ma aware, no, that wouldn't be possible systemwide [11:14] unimatrix9: generally selected items are displayed with inverted colours [11:14] unimatrix9: hence the 'box' as you call it; the background colour is inverted [11:14] no need for the screenshot then [11:15] a yes i see , did not know that, good tip [11:15] so where is it configured ? [11:15] unimatrix9: desktop theme usually; sometimes overridable in applications (can also depend on Accessibility settings and be further modified) [11:19] Hello, I am having freezes on booting Ubuntu (from live USB) 18.04, 20.04 and 20.10, but not 16.04, on my Dell XPS 8920 desktop. I've removed my NVIDIA graphics card and am only using the onboard graphics (to eliminate that as a potential cause). After booting, the splash screen goes for a bit and then freezes (before login screen). I've tried the graphics safe mode and same result. Any ideas what might have changed between [11:19] 16.04 and 18.04 to cause this? [11:21] lbarksdale: when splash 'freezes' are you able to tap Esc key and see the console messages? [11:21] ok, thanks [11:23]
