| librem-15 | Hello Ubuntu users. I have been a Windows user for most of my life. I got to know a scripting/keyboard shortcut program called AutoHotkey. I would like to find a way to do some similar things on Ubuntu. | 01:25 |
| librem-15 | To start with, what I'd like to do right now is set up a keyboard shortcut to insert today's date into the active text box. For example, a Save As window in LibreOffice. | 01:25 |
| librem-15 | Well, I realize I could find a script to do the Save As (Copy a file) in the background. But I would like to be able to insert the current date into other fields etc. And idea what tools you would use for things like this? | 01:27 |
| librem-15 | Well, typing that out inspired me to look further. Found the "xdotool" program. I might be able to accomplish quite a bit with that. | 01:32 |

| AppXprt | Whoever decided on utilizing dnsmasq for default DNS in Ubuntu is a complete idiot and utter failure at life that needs to be immediately removed from whatever position enabled them to make that horrible decision that affected countless users. | 06:24 |
| agvantibo66 | Assid, you can try using Crosstool to cross-compile the latest version. | 06:24 |
| agvantibo66 | Or just do it on the pi itself. | 06:25 |
| AppXprt | Probably done using ubuntu, they've made too many mistakes and continue to do so | 06:25 |
| AppXprt | first Unity and Gnome 3 then DNSMasq, there have been other BS mistakes too and unnecessary redesigns | 06:25 |

| Industrial | Hi. I have removed all graphics drivers and did a `apt purge "nvidia-*"` and did a reboot | 07:21 |
| Industrial | when I open the Additional Drivers | 07:21 |
| Industrial | I get "Continue using a manually installed driver" | 07:21 |
| Industrial | I have messed too much with nvidia drivers from the nvidia website (.sh file) and the ubuntu nvidia driver packages | 07:22 |
| Industrial | Is there a way to completely remove the built kernel and all DKMS modules and rebuild them? | 07:22 |
| ducasse | Industrial: 'dkms status' to see what is installed | 07:31 |
| Industrial | ducasse: no output | 07:32 |
| ducasse | then you have no dkms modules | 07:32 |
| Industrial | I'm currently downloading (100Kb/s) the latest driver | 07:32 |
| Industrial | ok | 07:32 |
| ducasse | if you installed the driver from the nvidia website, it might have an uninstall option | 07:33 |
| Industrial | ducasse: Howcome all the driver options are greyed out then and It selected the "manually installed driver" option? | 07:33 |
| Industrial | right | 07:33 |
| ducasse | what does 'ubuntu-drivers list' say? | 07:35 |
| Industrial | nvidia-driver-460, (kernel modules provided by nvidia-dkms-460) | 07:36 |
| Industrial | also nvidia-driver 450 and 450-server (not sure why I did this, or what the difference is) | 07:36 |
| ducasse | hmm, i think the -server is only the cuda stuff | 07:37 |
| Industrial | I'll remove those once my apt process unlocks :-) I'm on a cut-off 4g connection atm :/ | 07:37 |
| ducasse | i'm really no nvidia expert, so i'm a little wary of giving advice | 07:37 |
| Industrial | my provider puts me on 100Kb for a month if I cross 5GB/24h :| | 07:38 |
| ducasse | that sucks :( | 07:38 |
| ducasse | you can see what 'ubuntu-drivers autoinstall' wants to do, if anything | 07:39 |

| ducasse | Industrial: good :) did you find out what was wrong? | 07:56 |
| Salatwurzel | Hello, if i press FN+F9 (Play/Pause), while a youtube video and a spotify song is paused, it continues the video instead of the spotify song, regardless of what program is focused etc. Is there an easy way to make ubuntu ignore Firefox in that matter or make spotify always #1 for that? | 08:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Salatwurzel: didnt test myself, but does workspaces influence this? | 08:45 |
| lotuspsychje | aka firefox workspace 1, spotify workspace 2 | 08:46 |
| Salatwurzel | lotuspsychje: just tested. if firefox isnt on the active workspace, it plays spotify. I would like to have it on the same workspace though. Just making spotify the #1 to react to the hotkey if it is open | 08:52 |
| Salatwurzel | would be alot easier than switching workspaces all the time :D | 08:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Salatwurzel: im using gnome-shell-extension-workspaces-to-dock 1 click workspace switch | 08:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Salatwurzel: i tryed before to seperate things on gnome with caffeine, but seems not work well these days | 08:55 |
| Salatwurzel | lotuspsychje: just discovered something by accident. If i close all 2 apps and then open spotify FIRST, spotify becomes #1 instead of firefox | 08:56 |
| lotuspsychje | ah | 08:56 |
| Salatwurzel | normally after a boot you open your webbrowser first. I guess i just put spotify on autostart lol | 08:56 |

| woj-tek | TJ-: Thanks. I'm inputting those into grub already. I have narrowed the list of commands to really just "set prefix...; normal" being required. I added this env setting to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variables in /etc/default/grub, issued grub-install on boot device but no luck yet. May it be that I need to somehow pass something from my hypervisor? There was no such issue with | 13:06 |
| woj-tek | earlier Ubuntu versions / default installs, just 20.x | 13:06 |
| EriC^^ | woj-tek: are you booted into it right now? | 13:07 |
| TJ- | woj-tek: grub-install does that automatically as part of creating the core image | 13:07 |
| TJ- | woj-tek: what kind of boot is it? UEFI? BIOS? | 13:07 |
| EriC^^ | it might be a previous bug where it was creating efi/grub instead of efi/ubuntu or so and wasnt loading efi/ubuntu/grub.cfg | 13:07 |
| _Trullo | onjoin message from _0dev_ | 13:09 |
| woj-tek | TJ-: Ok, so this was grub running on the hypervisor. I was able to pass this prefix variable right there and now it boots straight to vm-internal grub that offers me options like "Ubuntu", "Advanced" and the like. All good. Thank you! | 13:10 |
| woj-tek | TJ-: And it was "BIOS" boot type under bhyve (BSD) virtualization. | 13:10 |
| woj-tek | EriC^^: Yup, I was able to get it booted every time after manually setting prefix. All good now. | 13:11 |
| TJ- | woj-tek: ahhh, grub external the 'system' isn't a use-case Ubuntu is designed to cope with | 13:11 |
| woj-tek | TJ-: I truly wasn't aware of it when I initially asked for help here. Figured it out and just wanted to share what worked instead of simply leaving :) | 13:12 |

Or is it | 14:54 |
| Johnnyboy | perhaps better in ubuntu 18.04 if I downgrade? | 14:54 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1912673 in linux (Ubuntu) "sounds not working on Dell XPS 17 (9700)" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Johnnyboy: thank you for reporting your bug like adviced the other day | 14:55 |
| oerheks | does sound work after; pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload | 14:56 |
| ruedii | oerheks, Kubuntu 20.04 (At this point it's no different than regular ubuntu spins, since it's not getting to X11) | 14:56 |
| ruedii | oerheks hardware is Rx5500 GPU | 14:57 |
| geosmile | I got my lg cx overscan problem solved at last. | 14:57 |
| Johnnyboy | oerheks if you are replying to me then no, only after doing the steps mentioned in the bug report and only for kernel 5.6. lotuspsychje you have good memory :) | 14:57 |
| geosmile | fonts are still a mess on 20.04lts | 14:57 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: we are still waiting on your desktop screenshot | 14:58 |
| lotuspsychje | Johnnyboy: now you apport-collect your info to the bug, developers can start debug your bug further | 14:59 |
| ruedii | oerheks, and cpu is a Ryzen 1500X | 14:59 |
| Johnnyboy | lotuspsychje yup I did | 15:00 |
| geosmile | lotuspsychje, oerheks https://pasteboard.co/JL8tWtT.png | 15:00 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: i dont see weird fonts? | 15:01 |
| geosmile | lotuspsychje, can you see the refresh icon on chrome on top left? | 15:02 |
| geosmile | it looks pixeleted to me | 15:02 |
| geosmile | same with the tab text "Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" | 15:02 |
| ruedii | the screen freezes at "fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA" during boot. I can boot to fallback display using rescue mode. | 15:02 |
| geosmile | "Index of / ubuntu" - "/" is pixeleted. | 15:03 |
| geosmile | lotuspsychje, the text in chrome is slightly better, but if you magnify enough it looks pixeleted on the smooth parts. | 15:03 |
| ruedii | geosmile, that text looks fine to me. You do know that magnifier programs can only zoom in on the image that is there, not create new pixels. | 15:05 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: i dont see anything unusual, you also using chrome wich we dont support either, try chromium-browser for ubuntu alternate | 15:05 |
| ruedii | You might have the subpixel rendering set wrong for your display, which will cause a colored halo on either the side of the fonts. | 15:07 |
| ruedii | I had an PIBCAK eye doctor who mirrored his eye chart from his apple display to one with incompatible subpixel rendering once. He wasn't too pleased about me telling him his rig was bad. | 15:08 |
| lotuspsychje | Johnnyboy: keep testing things on your bug, if you tested something continue adding new comments on your own bug so the devs can follow what you tryed | 15:08 |
| ruedii | oerheks, any luck on figuring this out? | 15:09 |
| lotuspsychje | ruedii: wich kernel are you on please? | 15:09 |
| Johnnyboy | lotuspsychje ok | 15:09 |
| geosmile | hinting is slight. antialiasing is subpixel | 15:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Johnnyboy: you will also receive emails, when devs want you to test something | 15:11 |
| ruedii | lotuspsychje I tried both 5.4-generic and 5.8-generic-hwe | 15:11 |
| Johnnyboy | lotuspsychje ok | 15:11 |
| lotuspsychje | ruedii: can you pin at wich point you are stuck like F1 textboot? | 15:12 |
| ruedii | I can give you the exact line where the screen freezes, but the log continues after that. Do you want the whole log | 15:13 |
| lotuspsychje | ruedii: the more info you provide us, the better volunteers can help yeah | 15:13 |
| ruedii | The exact line where it freezes is " fb0: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA" | 15:13 |
| ruedii | I'll get that log up. I tend to use gist, simply because I like to keep all the stuff in one place, and Valve likes Gist for proton. | 15:13 |
| lotuspsychje | ruedii: can you enter !nomodeset ? | 15:15 |
| oerheks | ruedii, with the 5.8 kernel, maybe this mint answer works for you too new gpu... https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1756204&sid=303384991d87438ef9da710cd6750d36#p1756204 | 15:15 |
| ruedii | https://gist.github.com/Ruedii/8df7c915edbf1de16f39ed66c9ecc45b | 15:16 |
| ruedii | I alredy checked that the firmware is loading properly, but I visit the possibility of the newer driver needing a firmware update. | 15:17 |
| lotuspsychje | ruedii: another idea could be a live lubuntu 20.04 test, see if you can reproduce on the same kernel(s) | 15:19 |
| geosmile | lotuspsychje, https://pasteboard.co/JL8Btnu.jpg - that is from a camera taking the picture of the screen - hopefully now its clear what the problem is. | 15:20 |
| geosmile | what is wierd is that the outside camera picture is way more distorted than i expected compared to the screen shot | 15:20 |
| geosmile | I would say the screen capture under shows the font problem, and the outside capture image over shows it | 15:21 |
| ruedii | I was thinking of getting a fresh livecd installed on a thumb drive. For some reason my wife's windows computer really screwed up my thumb drive. | 15:22 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: pastebin; uname -a && nvidia-smi please? | 15:22 |
| ruedii | I'm thinking of also grabbing an 8GB thumb drive instead of the awful one. | 15:23 |
| ruedii | geosmile, that looks like subpixel rendering issues to me. Are you running at the display's native resolution, and do you have the subpixel rendering set to the proper ordering? | 15:24 |
| ruedii | Then again, maybe we are all just spoiled by our smart phones. | 15:24 |
| geosmile | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/73r7tFGstH/ | 15:29 |
| geosmile | ruedii, 4k res - where is subpixel rendering that can be set in gnome/20.04? | 15:29 |
| geosmile | Except for hinting that i have to slight | 15:29 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: did this happen recently, worked before? | 15:30 |
| geosmile | lotuspsychje, i've always had issues with ubuntu + LG CX 48 - never ever can ubuntu drive 4k well. I've been playing with settings for months | 15:30 |
| ruedii | geosmile, it should be in with hinting | 15:31 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: did you change resolution or scaling settings? | 15:32 |
| ruedii | subpixel rendering ordering. Worst case, set it to monochrome. | 15:32 |
| geosmile | lotuspsychje, res = 4k. frac scal = off | 15:33 |
| geosmile | ruedii, hint = slight. others dont look any better | 15:33 |
| geosmile | frac scal - 100% | 15:33 |
| geosmile | frac scaling is off actually | 15:34 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: have you tryed an nvidia driver switch as a test aswell? | 15:34 |
| geosmile | lotuspsychje, I just moved from 450 to the latest version 460.32.03 - was hoping things would work better | 15:36 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: ok | 15:36 |
| lotuspsychje | geosmile: can you share your dmesg please, maybe clues there | 15:38 |
| ruedii | OK, checked all my firmware files for NAVI14. They are all there. | 15:38 |

| EtherMan | I'm seriously at a loss here... Im trying to get swarm networking to work in docker but network communication isn't getting through properly and I can't figure out why. I've set the policy on all IPtables to accept for now. Flushed all rules, and start docker. That creates only docker's own rules. I've tried using netcat to get communicating going in between two nodes to test, and there I do get connection normally. So I'm really | 16:36 |
| EtherMan | confused why docker seems to not be able to :/ | 16:36 |

| arooni | any other approach or something i'm doing wrong? i have plenty of swap space for my memory; 12gb of swap and 12g of ram | 16:38 |

| Seiduna | every time lotuspsychje :( | 17:21 |

| Seiduna | oh, on purpuse? | 17:22 |
| Seiduna | i do not believe i know how to do that | 17:22 |

| django_ | i thought ubuntu and centOS might be similar so i asked here | 17:35 |
| leftyfb | django_: there's an IRC channel for CentOS called #centos (which you are in). Feel free to ask for support there. We can only support Ubuntu here. | 17:38 |

| jozefk | That didn't used to happen often, or at all so far, on YT, it was most of the time happening if I use some audio software for editing audio files. | 17:44 |

| slee | hi, just noticed on my media box for my tv...it's running 20.04 and it appears that the 5.8 kernel update has borked my networking, box can't see network via wifi nor ether...but if i reboot with 5.4, i'm back on network...any idea? | 19:34 |
| J07 | nope | 19:35 |
| J07 | no idea | 19:36 |
| TJ- | slee: yes; assuming that system needs out-of-tree non-mainline kernel module(s) for the network devices - the HWE kernel updates broke most and I believe there's still work ongoing to update those module packages | 19:36 |
