Since recently (as far as some 20.04 update onwards and in 20.10) it takes very long time to start Atril PDF viewer, via ssh -X session , while opening Thunderbird attachment. Is it Application problem (Atril) or solution is somewhere else, how ssh -X sessions [08:42] work? Would like to avoid long waits when openning attachemnts in ssh -X. === hacxman is now known as hexo [08:46] hi, in sysctl.conf i added fs.file.max = 250071, then I do sysctl -p to refresh, and then cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max is now 250071, but if I do ulimit -n then it still says 1024.. should ulimit not also say 250071?

[08:54] It's GPT/EFI also [08:56] nikolam: unfortunately the nature of x forwarding makes it a fair bit slower than doing it locally [08:59] ducasse, it's not the question of if X forwarding is slower, but before some update in 20.04 it was very fast, since it it ssh-X localhost session, and afterwards in 20.04 and 20.10 it is slowly opening Altril. Question is is it about Altril or some other problem, since it were very fast before and is not only about the nature of ssh -X localhost itself . [09:04] nikolam: i see. could you try opening a file manager remotely and see how fast atril opens from that if you try to open a pdf file? [09:19] is there some canonical way to make bash read PAM environment in Ubuntu? [09:22] ducasse, Thunar file manager (Xfce/xubuntu here) also takes a long time to start via ssh -X localhost) and nautilus too. And yes, also from file manager opened cia ssh -X localhost, Atril takes a long time to open.. Like they all are waiting for something that is already there.. [09:22] Thunderbird itself opens fast.. via ssh -X localhost. [09:28] These are the messages when starting slow apps via ssh -X localhost, that are supposed to be starting fast: https://pastebin.com/74cb7KXr [09:30] Seems like they all require , or some library they are using to access "accessibility bus" : "Couldn't register with accessibility bus" and that slows down , some in-library / distro build-in waiting, that slows down all apps..

[10:05] is it me... or did something reach into my ubuntu 18.04 system and actually remove flash against my knowledge? paranoid thought... but can't think what else has occurred here [10:05] (yes I don't need to know about what everyone knows about flash) [10:06] the bionic-updates version of flashplugin-installer has *exactly* the same version as the normal bionic version... which is *odd*... yet it excludes the right scripts [10:06] but it does prevent installing the original version [10:10] I have a problem with printing.

[10:57] in ubuntu 20 LTS? [10:58] Hamidreza: you can add a static route to netplan using the "routes:" mapping in your YAML config in /etc/netplan/ (see: https://netplan.io/reference/#routing) [11:01] What is the best way to define dns server in ubuntu 20? in /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/netplan ? [11:02] Hamidreza: that would be netplan, via "nameservers:" setting (https://netplan.io/reference/#common-properties-for-all-device-types) – It also might need "use-dns:" if you're using DHCP [11:04] slyon, and another question is about kernel tuning, is there any good link for big production scale? [11:07] sorry I don't know about kernel tuning.. [11:23] Hi all, what could be a good usb-c *touch* monitor that works with ubuntu?

Now there seem to be sporadic wifi disconnects and the touchpad stopping to work. [12:01] Are problems like these (after an upgrade) known to occur on occasion? And can I assume that hardware of this age — working with 18.04 — will (with some manual tweaks if necessary) keep working with 20.04? [12:02] Note, I don't have access to the device right now, just asking to get a general idea on how to approach this. [12:02] adrian_1908: older machines, try lubuntu 20.04, for your wifi, wich kernel are you on? [12:05] Should be the vanilla 20.04 LTS kernel, I'm pretty sure I saw something in the 5.x range (whereas 18.04 remained at 4.x). Performance is not an issue (Xubuntu), just the sudden appearance of buggy behavior, presumably driver related. [12:06] adrian_1908: and your wifi chipset? [12:06] lotuspsychje: beats me, I'll have to look that up online (device not here). [12:08] adrian_1908: there are currently a lot of known bugs on kernel 5.8, best to come back with as many details you can provide to see wich bug it is [12:11] lotuspsychje: Ok, I'll do that!

I can see UEFI Shell output via KVM and change bios settings. The thing is: the partition on the thumb drive seems to be gone, although the efi device tree shows the thumb drive. What can I do? Is there a way to repair an efi partition or create a new one for an existing system? [13:50] rhagu, so that thumbdrive is damaged? create a new one, walk over there, and try? [13:50] one cannot do that remotely, i think [13:51] oerheks I am stuck at the "create a new one" part: I can format a new drive with fat32, but what data do I have to put in there? Can I create the content from a booted linux instance? [13:51] you said that it contains the EFI partition? [13:51] !uefi [13:51] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [13:53] oerheks you are not helping [13:55] how is the UEFI manual not helpfull? i think it is a weird and vulnerable setup, efi on a thumbdrive. [13:55] the top center clock often is not updated.... [13:56] damn even on clock there are bugs [13:59] oerheks dude, your comments are condescending and vague. If I could walk over I would obviously do so . . . do you even know what is written in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI? There is no paragraph that shows how to replace a broken EFI partition for an existing system. [14:03] boot a live iso, chroot your install, and perform the install: grub-install /dev/sdX https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall [14:05] oerheks thank you very much, I will try that [14:07] rhagu, check the damaged usb first.. [14:07] maybe it is damaged beyond repair. [14:10] I will try to boot a live iso and check dosfsck [14:29] hello ppl, bluetooth problems, cant connect ubuntu 18.04 laptop to android 11 phone, `Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed`, bluetoothctl says. [14:32] Hello I'm having issues getting a liveusb to boot to install Ubuntu [14:33] I'm using Ubuntu Budgie at the moment but it's a general hardware issue as other distros I've tried are exhibiting the same problem [14:33] Essentially as soon as I click any of the options in the GRUB menu the computer just goes to a black screen and the keyboard switches off and the USB activity indicator turns off [14:33] and then it just hangs there, seemingly forever [14:34] I've verified the USB key works by trying it on my laptop and it does proceed to install correctly [14:34] I've also tried all the common fixes like nomodeset and acpi=off etc [14:34] Nothing seems to be working or producing any sort of unique result and it's incredibly frustrating [14:34] I hope someone here can help me [14:38] Can it be that I cannot install ubuntu 18.04 via a LVM option? [14:38] I mean the desktop version [14:38] no [14:38] you can use lvm on the desktop version zen_coder [14:39] I do not find any info about it during install [14:39] only that it will be installed on the whole disk [14:39] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1033983/ubuntu-18-04-installer-not-able-to-set-up-lvm [14:42] Zen Coder let me boot up a Vm and see [14:43] ahh I found it: so I do a checkmark in `Use LVM with the new Ubuntu installation` & `Erase disk and install Ubuntu -` [14:43] and then ubuntu will be installed on my specified hardisk via an LVM, which I can later resize, right? [14:43] So all good? [14:44] or do I need to setup some partitions in the advances section? [14:44] can someone please link me the guide for upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04 using commandline? [14:45] ExcessiveAggro: ? [14:45] One sec I'm going to get you the steps [14:45] I did try searching on the ubuntu webpage, but nothing of use turned up [14:48] zen coder - looks like you are correct that a custom lvm install is not available from the GUI installation. You can do an automatic lvm install but you won't have control over the partitioning scheme [14:48] you have me curious though... i wonder what it creates for you. I'm going to do an install and see [14:49] oh yes, thanks [14:49] ahh it tells you what it's going to do at the end. [14:49] check this out... [14:50] ExcessiveAggro ? [14:50] https://imgur.com/a/AfhHube [14:51] Looks like it creates a single volume group called vgubuntu and two logical volumes called root and swap_1 [14:52] and root will contain my home dir? [14:53] yes sir [14:53] you can relocate the home directory pretty easily later if you like [14:54] this is what I want, I have multiple hard disks and and want to combine then via LVM [14:54] so all stuff can be placed inside the home dir [14:55] I see. Are you wanting the disks to be raid or Jbod [14:55] what is jbod? [14:55] there should be no backup of the data [14:55] just a bunch of dissk [14:55] no raid needed [14:56] I need someone to factcheck me here... but if you just link a bunch of disks in to a volume group, and you lose one disk... is the entire data pool corrupt? [14:57] I'm pretty sure you lose everything [14:57] but if you are making backups then maybe you are ok with it [14:57] I dont make backups [14:58] I also do not care about the data [14:58] Ahh I see then LVM with just a bunch of disks underneath will be just fine [14:58] a lot of temp data will be there, build artifacts [14:59] but restating so you dont get mad at me later :) If you have a bunch of disks in a volume group and one of those disks die, the entire volume is corrupt. [14:59] There may be more elegant ways of doing this but here is how i would handle it... [15:00] I would do manual install and just mount swap and '/'. make root whatever size you like to cover your base applications. Then once the OS is up and running i would create the volume group with the remaining space on your first disk and all the additional disks. Then mount that new volume group to your home directory [15:01] sorry there is an easier way in your situation... [15:01] .just do the lvm install we talked about earlier and it will create one VG for everything [15:01] then add all your other disks to that volume group once the OS is up [15:03] make sense [15:03] ExcessiveAggro: can I separate the LV from linux root for home? [15:04] of course - you could crate a new LV for home and mount it to /home [15:04] separate linux OS installation and the Home dir [15:05] hard to explain via text.... but it looks like the installer is going to create one VG with your entire disk added to that VG. So that disk wil be dedicated to '/' and swap [15:05] but you can move home to a different LV and/or VG after install [15:05] if you dont care about that entire disk being dedicated to '/', not a problem [15:08] hope that makes sense [15:08] I just do as you said [15:09] I feel powerful all the sudden ;) [15:14] ExcessiveAggro https://imgur.com/a/sfGV7KH [15:15] sec on a call but i will tell you what that means [15:20] almost there... sec [15:21] This is what it's doing - https://imgur.com/a/lt8UDzd [15:22] it doesnt say it's creating a physical volume so that layer may not be there... [15:22] but the answer is ... yes that looks correct. Make sure you dont need the dat aon nvme0n1 because you are about to wipe it out [15:23] so the size of the root dir will be the whole disk? [15:24] size of the whole disk - minus the space it uses for swap and minus the space it uses for the efi boot partition [15:24] and /home will live within the '/' [15:25] let me show you a modified diagram of what you will have after you add the other disks [15:27] This is what you will do after install - https://imgur.com/a/DyqImNT [15:27] you will add the green - then expand the yellow === raccoon_dog_ is now known as raccoon_dog [15:41] zen coder how things going [15:45] Anyone else had issues with the 5.8.0-36 kernel?

I was still able to control my pc or change into a different tty(where the error did not occour in the terminal ) I rebooted and it happened again - i rebooted and everything is fine - Any idea what components could be the issue ? Where to look into next ? [16:36] thyriaen: video ram [16:55] hello, i updated ubuntu 20.04 after software center popup told me to install updates, after rebooting, my sound input/output, video camera, network connection all are not detected [16:56] how can i solve this problem (either revert changes or fix the issue) [16:57] my network connection is via network cable [16:57] i cant upgrade my 19.10 machine [17:00] it just says 404 [17:00] anyone home? [17:00] I'm home... but not srue I can help on that one [17:00] What command are you issuing Phruis? [17:02] im on 19.10 [17:02] i think they shut off the repos [17:02] i dont know why but ubuntu has been bad on upgrading for me [17:02] usually it is automatic [17:03] how can i tell ubuntu to reinstall default drivers from OS?

[17:04] !eol upgrade [17:04] i told it to upgrade with any new version [17:05] hmm [17:06] !upgrade [17:06] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:07] preseed question. I've searched and searched but only find stuff about how TO get it to partition. I want to reinstall the OS ( on / fs ) WITHOUT rewriting the partition table!!! There's 100 TB of data I don't want to restore from backup... Anyone done this? [17:09] rr:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates/main amd64 mysql-server all 8.0.20-0ubuntu0.19.10.1 [17:09] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.39 80] [17:09] !eolupgrade [17:09] End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:10] am i supposed to know where my sources.list is located? [17:11] Phruis: yes [17:12] why would i care? [17:12] who should then? Putin? [17:12] the developers of the distro [17:12] im a user [17:12] not a distro dev [17:13] just edit the damn documentation [17:13] instead of source.list put /etc/apt/sources.list [17:13] holy crap [17:13] and stop using bzr [17:13] make the documentation easier to edit [17:15] Phruis: you have no idea how hard something like changing VCS systems can be. I've been through it about 5 times. It was never worth the effort and pain it created (I agree with you, in that I'm not a fan of bzr either). But that is a GIANT ask... [17:16] that is the wrong way to look at it especially if you are in the technology field [17:16] you have to change with the times [17:16] no one edits the documentation in Ubuntu [17:16] because it sucks to do [17:16] i did it once in college for the package documentation [17:17] i wanted to learn to package but just ended up learning and editing the documentation because it didn't tell me the correct instructions [17:17] then i had several people make suggestions trying to "help" on documentation that already was out of date and wasn't correct [17:18] just sucks man [17:18] the update alert should of popped up by now [17:19] i look at this computer for work every day [17:21] I've not tried to get a documentation fix in Ubuntu. Bummer that it is so painful. [17:23] we make fun of Windows forced update policy [17:23] but this is worse [17:24] then if you have a repository that doesn't resolve all the GUI software just chokes [17:24] seriously ubuntu is a joke as a user desktop man [17:26] doesn't even have basic error checking for software repositories [17:26] xkill [17:26] is your answer [17:26] wow [17:29] Phruis: that is usually the fault of the third party repo. dependency management is essentially solving a problem with X! (factorial) possible solutions. if the other repo causes a loop or increases X, 100% CPU forever [17:29] wwalker what you said sounds good, but literally a 404 error makes GUI Software sources editor choke [17:30] you are very, very welcome to discuss how ubuntu isnt but should be in #ubuntu-discuss. /this/ very channel is just for support. [17:30] you don't need gui to update your system actually [17:31] haha [17:31] forget it [17:31] just uninstalling this junk [17:31] Why is the kernel command line for video modes in decimal, but if you get it wrong, you are presnted with a list of modes in hex? (My guess: space constraint in 80 coloumns) [17:32] * phillipsjk256 is ranting becuase he had to manually convert mode 324 (hex) to mode 804 (decimal) [17:34] tomreyn: my apologies, you are correct [17:34] I'm having trouble getting a fingerprint reader to work on ubuntu that has advertised linux support. First of all, should I see a fingerprint utility in the "Settings > Users" menu on a fresh installation, or do I need to activate or install additional packages? I don't see anything, but I though 20.10 had native support [17:35] if i have a directory /var/www/stuff that I need it to be owned by "www-data" user but also I need to have certain samba users to have write access to it as well, is this possible? [17:36] groups [17:36] create groups and add users to groups [17:36] that wouldn't break nginx? [17:37] but here is the thing [17:37] if I have samba users, Bill, Jill, Ben, Lily but I only need Bill and Ben to have access to /var/www/stuff [17:37] c0fe: it shouldn't break nginx as long as nginx user in also in the group, OR everything under /var/www/stuff is "other" (world) readable. [17:37] different groups [17:37] Bill, Jill, Ben and Lily will have access to another folder called /var/www/samba for example [17:38] Phruis: you can have multiple groups assigned to a directory? [17:38] create notBill group in linux, create same group in Samba and add Jill, Ben, Lily to it. [17:38] and user Trump will have no access at all, haha [17:39] blb4393 not funny [17:39] is there a channel for ubuntu sysadmin stuff? I searched alis but didn't find one. [17:40] wwalker: ok then how do i assign ownership to /var/www/samba to all four users? [17:40] GROUPS! [17:40] looking for link [17:40] right but i have notBill group so how do I add bill to /var/www/samba [17:40] wwalker: no worries, i just wish more folks would actually read the /topic :) (or care about it). if you have system administration questions, this channel is fine. or #ubuntu-server for advanced, server specific, questions. [17:40] if notBill is assigned to /var/www/stuff [17:41] Good afternoon. I am installing 20.10 on an xps14 from 2013. It is going very very slowly. More than 10 min for the screen asking you if you want to install min/regular and extra stuff page. And now about that long for 'detecting file systems...' Is this to be expected? [17:41] DOH. I misread your post [17:41] tomreyn believe it or not i was asking a support question but i am also not a robot [17:41] Which is what the robot says. [17:42] haha [17:44] Wanderer: I'd say that's not expected unless you have very, very slow installer media. Mor elikely, though, the installer image didn't download properly, didn't get written to the installer media properly. or there is a serious hardware/firmware/OS/application software problem. [17:44] Phruis: are the users authenticating via LDAP, Windows AD, or linux smbpasswd? [17:44] ^ gone [17:46] tomreyn, This is the first time I am using this media. Lol just looked, amazon says I bought it in 2015 so that is it. Thanks tomreyn [17:47] I'm not sure that's a sufficient explanation, unless it's media that deteriorates within just a few years? [17:49] cdroms might. or it might have been broken from the start. inspecting kenrel logs (ctrl-alt-t to spawn a terminal window, then journalctl -kb may help) [17:49] i forgot another possible cause: lack of sufficient system resources, specifically RAM. [17:50] after I installed the proprietary nvidia driver from ubuuntu software center I get in glxgear only 60 FPS, before I got 1000FPS [17:50] is there something wrong with my driver? [17:53] tomreyn, Wanderer this review I found from 2012 says it has USB 3.0 ports, 4GB of RAM. https://www.cnet.com/reviews/dell-xps-14-review/ [17:53] hey driver where are we going? I swear my nerves are showing.. [17:55] zen coder - when you got 1000 fps was that in windows? a non-proprietary driver? [17:55] phillipsjk256, idk I think mine is different. [17:58] zen_coder, sounds like vsync is enabled: which will lock the frame rate to the display refresh rate. [17:58] can you add multiple groups to a particular directory share? [18:01] Wanderer: journalctl -b | grep DMI: to identify what you have [18:02] cool. [18:04] Im trying to get a canary service to run at boot and have it run in a virtual environment. The command I have to run is " . env/bin/activate && opencanary --start " and it works just fine. I have put this into /etc/systemmd/system/opencanary.service and I know it started because I get an email but i think it is not starting in the virtual env as none of the services are working correctly. [18:04] c0fe: what do you mean by "directory share"? [18:04] If I run the command manually it works just fine. Here is a pastebin of my systemd service https://pastebin.com/FFpSJeMr [18:05]
