| ev-nar | When rebooting after install from startup disk, I was told the system couldn't boot, and I had to re-insert the startup disk, after which I got to MOK manager | 00:00 |

| ev-nar | help? | 00:00 |

| netnomad | Hi. I'm running 20.04. When my kernal upgraded to 5.8 my network card (realtek) disappeared. I've been updating regularly and "going back" to 5.8 a few times a week to see if the problem fixes itself, but it doesn't. Any suggestions. | 00:20 |
| * netnomad makes offerings of craft beer to the Linux deities. | 00:20 | |
| netnomad | When I boot in 5.8 it says the network card is "unclaimed" when I run that command that lists the network interfaces whose name escapes me at the moment. | 00:21 |
| netnomad | kernal 5.4 appears to be comparatively fine. | 00:22 |
| netnomad | The network card identifies as Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 if that is helpful in any way. | 00:24 |
| genii | I think it is the 84xx which are possibly problemmatic | 00:34 |
| netnomad | I guess I'm SOL. | 00:49 |
| indyZ | So, I've been having this problem with Xubuntu where, when I close my laptop to suspend, when it comes back my mouse/keyboard doesn't work. | 02:50 |
| indyZ | Just figured something out: If I type in my password, as if I'm at a lock screen, and hit enter, my mouse and keyboard work again. | 02:50 |
| indyZ | so it seems that I am at the lock screen when opening the laptop, even though I see my desktop instead. | 02:51 |
| anotheryou | Hi. I got some misbehaving apps that hog CPU. Can I somehow lower the nice value of whatever does mouse keyboard and terminal? I can't even rescue myself to htop. | 08:52 |
| anotheryou | is that a reasonable approach after all :) | 08:52 |
| anotheryou | ? | 08:52 |
| anotheryou | and vice versa, should and can I make the misbehavers be more nice by default? | 08:53 |
| David-A | anotheryou: do you know what program is misbehaving / using cpu? | 12:06 |
| fernando-basso | apt dist-upgrade stuck at pepperflashplugin-nonfree. Is this any known issue? | 12:12 |

| xu-help87w | I am looking for the location for lightdm.conf in 20.04 but can't find it. Any clues? | 12:19 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help87w, /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ | 12:21 |
| diogenes_ | it's all snippets. | 12:21 |
| xu-help87w | Thanks. | 12:23 |
| diogenes_ | np | 12:24 |
| xu-help87w | Well, I need to custom set the resolution of the login screen (HiDPI display) so I thought I set 'display-setup-script' to a script I wrote - into which snippet do I put it? | 12:26 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help87w, you can write your own, something like: 40-resolution.conf | 12:31 |
| diogenes_ | [Seat:*] | 12:31 |
| diogenes_ | greeter-setup-script=yourscript | 12:31 |
| fernando-basso | brainwash: Thanks. | 12:34 |
| xu-help87w | Works. Thank you! | 12:51 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome. | 12:52 |
| anotheryou | David-A: mostly the proprietary crap: MS teams, spotify, telegram, sometimes signal | 14:19 |
| anotheryou | I'm wondering why the basic OS (mouse, keyboard, window manager, maybe terminal) does not take priority over them. | 14:20 |
| David-A | anotheryou: if you allow me to guess. 2 answers. | 14:22 |
| anotheryou | sure :). Thanks for helping. | 14:24 |
| David-A | anotheryou: if you have programs that do productive work, like a server or something, then you may not want the gui to block the services just because you start a heavy gui program or move around or resizing windows. what kind of programs to have priority may differ for different users. | 14:24 |
| anotheryou | I see. Makes sense indeed. | 14:25 |
| David-A | anotheryou: if you give the terminal and the shell higher prio, then a "while true; do :; done" or a typing error in a terminal may block the system. | 14:26 |
| anotheryou | I just want it above other programs I launched | 14:27 |
| David-A | anotheryou: but it you have apps that missbehaves, maybe lowering their prio may help you. | 14:28 |
| anotheryou | David-A: exactly. I was looking at nice, renice and maybe even "automatic nice deamon (and)". But they all are complicated to configure and I wondered if I'm even on the right track :) | 14:29 |
| David-A | anotheryou: have you concluded that it is cpu load that is the problem and not virtual memory thrashing or something else? | 14:30 |
| anotheryou | David-A: yes | 14:32 |
| anotheryou | David-A: but haven't excluded that first memory runs full and than it's cpu or something | 14:32 |
| David-A | anotheryou: i sometimes have trouble when i have houndreds of tabs in firefox, that virtual memory becomes full, and mouse and terminal interaction becomes painfully slow. can take 1/2 hour to change focus from the browser to a terminal. | 14:37 |
| anotheryou | David-A: Something like that, exactly. would want to avoid that | 14:37 |
| David-A | anotheryou: theoretically, there are ways to limit the amout of virt mem a program may use | 14:40 |
| David-A | anotheryou: if i recall correctly, the bash command "ulimit" helped when firefox was a 1 process program, but it doesnt limit it now when it has multiple processes. i don't know what command you'll need | 14:45 |
| anotheryou | I might try "and" just not sure how I refer to my programs correctly. In htop I see some path with "snap" | 14:52 |
| anotheryou | and than launching stuff as root on startup... it's all a bunch of config work I'm a bit hesitant to dive in to | 14:52 |
