[00:00] gah... still hanging [00:00] Anyone have an answer? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1289496/is-possible-to-integrate-zfs-to-the-desktop-managers-recycle-bin [00:01] sarnold: my nic is on the mobo, so no changing that :D [00:01] WTF [00:02] sarnold: it JUST changed to enp4s0 [00:02] pcfreak30: are there any messages in dmesg that explain this? [00:04] nothing that stands out [00:04] pcfreek30 are you using dhcp? You might need to reduce your renewal time. [00:04] im using static dhcp assignment router side [00:04] it works live cd [00:05] so i can keep ip space central [00:06] Yeah, increase your renewal speed on your client side. [00:06] networkctl lists enp4so as unmanaged, and br0 as no-carrier, confifuring [00:06] enp4s0 [00:07] configuring* [00:08] router has unlimited dhcp leases, and static dhcp is no lease time set [00:09] just manually deleted leases from router [00:12] hmm got it [00:12] deleted the mac on a dynmic lease and used netplan + dhclient [00:12] got a pong [00:12] ping [00:12] unsure why it did a diff ip in dhcp, but :shrug: [00:17] sarnold: im either being forgetful or crazy as somehow the mac address changed vs the static assignment [00:19] pcfreak30: woot [00:29] sarnold: this is getting stupid [00:29] pcfreak30: oh, IU thought you got it fixed [00:30] on manual yes [00:30] every time i change cloud init, it changes the nic to the opppsite [00:30] ens2 vs ens4 [00:30] rofl [00:31] i purged dhcp assignments and rebooted that [00:31] pcfreak30: that's so strange -- can you file a bug report on cloud-init? [00:31] if i knew the cause... [00:31] im going to add them both in. if i get ens6 or end8.... [00:32] going to pill my hair out [00:35] btw recovery modes networking still seems to be broke, doesnt use netplan. [00:36] sarnold: its STILL hanging... is there a way to interrupt the boot or get to a tty? [00:37] pcfreak30: I've not tried in the last ~decade or so but ^C used to be able to do that [00:38] yea systemd as init mucks with that. and i cleared dhcp again [00:38] im very close to just nuking cloud init [00:38] i dont need it [00:39] yup foobaring it. [00:46] sarnold: this is crazy [00:46] if i boot normally it hangs [00:47] if i go toot, and use netplan apply then dhclient, , exit and boot normal, it works? [00:47] root* [00:50] pcfreak30: I wonder why the dhclient dhcp client works so differently than the built-in systemd dhcp client [00:50] pcfreak30: is there anything in the journal from those failed attempts? [00:56] sarnold: it seems like its fighting dhcp between br0 and the main nic. [00:57] pcfreak30: how many nics do you have? [00:57] 1 hardware, 1 bridge [00:57] ah! [00:57] wait [00:57] is that NIC in the bridge? === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [00:58] yes. [00:58] its a kvm server [00:58] aha [00:58] remove the dhcp from the nic [00:58] it is [00:58] thats whats wird. dhcp4: false [00:59] i just fixed a config error, testing it [00:59] when you put a nic in a bridge, the nic kinda loses itself -- no IP on the nic, no dhcp on the nic, etc. IP / dhcp etc happens on the bridge for some reason [00:59] it makes sense, the bridge becomes the public face, the nic is the physical lie [00:59] line [01:00] i said br0 a few time lol [01:01] sorry, I missed it an hour ago [01:01] config error fixed it. now i just need to get static dhcp back [01:01] and hope it doesnt break again [01:02] but yea it seems that cloud-init does funky things that causes the nic to play musical chairs [01:04] sarnold: https://pastebin.com/1EDGa7a2. thats the config. thanks so far for your time. the pointers are what solved this :) [01:04] pcfreak30: I'm a pretty decent rubber duck :) [01:05] i got a lot more to do and more config stuff tomorrow. i was afriad i would be up all night with this === pcfreak301 is now known as pcfreak30 [01:11] ok looks like things are "normal" again. thanks sarnold [01:11] kudos also Bashing-om :) [01:14] pcfreak30: Just looking over yall' [01:14] s shoulders :D [01:14] pcfreak30: excellent :D thakns for reporting back, good night, and good luck tomorrow :D [01:15] yea no kidding. i have a hardware shipment coming in to match what came today [01:16] * pcfreak30 gets to work === Grldfrdom_ is now known as Grldfrdom === Grldfrdom is now known as Grldfrdom_ === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [02:09] Hi, I'm trying to install postgresql and I get the message "re-enter pam_mount password". How do I know what my pam_mount password is? [02:11] how do we know which ubuntu and postgresql you are running? [02:12] ah sorry ubuntu 20.4 and whatever postgres is in the repos [02:13] wow I've never seen that message before; how'd you get there? [02:13] do you have a custom pam configuration? [02:13] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/120762/why-does-pam-mount-ask-for-password discusses this issue, but it's not recent and not ubuntu specific [02:14] sarnold: just did sudo apt install postgresql and postgresql-contrib [02:15] tomreyn: I'm not sure, maybe. I'm not familiar with pam_mount but perhaps I configured it at some point. [02:17] what does grep -r pam_mount /etc/pam.d/ report? [02:21] grep -r pam_mount /etc/pam.d/ [02:21] oops [02:22] /etc/pam.d/common-auth:auth optional pam_mount.so [02:22] /etc/pam.d/common-session:session optional pam_mount.so [02:22] /etc/pam.d/common-password:password optional pam_mount.so disable_interactive [02:27] dylanchase: one of the stack overflow answers on tomreyn's link suggests adding disable_interactive on the auth and session management tasks [02:30] FWIW, "sudo grep -r pam_mount /etc/pam.d/" returns nothing on my 18.04 LTS system (which doesn't have postgresql installed). [02:30] i assume this wont have changed for 20.04 LTS [02:31] so your pam_mount configuration is probably custom [02:32] tomreyn: confirmed: "sysop@2004x-c:~$ grep -r pam_mount /etc/pam.d/" returns to prompt. [02:33] tomreyn: Thanks. Not sure what I did to set it up! I did configure disk encryption when I set up 20.4. I'm not sure if pam_mount is related to that... [02:33] "pam_mount - A PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session", maybe dylanchase needed to mount /var/lib/postgres or something else this way? [02:34] perhaps assuming /root or postgres's home dir may require ecryptfs unlocking? [02:34] see the use cases discussed here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/pam_mount.8.html [02:34] or nfs? [02:35] I do connect to an nfs, maybe that is when I configured it.

[03:40] it's encrypted home. [03:41] so it can continue booting but wouldn't login [03:44] az: I *think* cryptsetup refresh -t ... can do it [03:45] any where to read about that? [03:45] az: you may or may not need the --persistent flag -- I found this command, and a note about --persistent, in crypttab(5) [03:46] thank you [03:46] will check [03:47] there's gobs of docs in cryptsetup(8) but it's .. not fantastic.

So we are trying to find out what are installed on the previous server, so we can install on the new server. anyone know what command should i use? [07:32] leumashm: dpkg -l | grep ^ii [07:32] or dpkg --get-selections [07:33] leumashm: are you installing to the same Ubuntu release version? [07:34] TJ- apparently no. older is 18.04, newer is 20 [07:36] cause some web development was done on the old server. but we want to move to the cloud but not sure if we do a migration to the cloud with the existing hdd 1TB, would it provision the entire 1TB or used space 30GB. so we trying the alternate route to find out what is installed in the old server, and install on the new server instead. [07:36] leumashm: you'll be better off using 'debfoster' then, since it identifies the top-level packages but doesn't list their dependencies (often versioned library packages) [07:36] !info debfoster | leumashm [07:36] leumashm: debfoster (source: debfoster): Install only wanted Debian packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.7-2.1 (focal), package size 35 kB, installed size 158 kB [07:38] leumashm: using debfoster is a 2-stage process. 1) scan and build the database "sudo debfoster -q" 2) list the top-level packages "debfoster --show-keepers" (if I recall correctly. Check "man debfoster") [07:43] TJ- im a bit worried to run it on my production server ubuntu. i ran on my local ubuntu it does give me some outputs. [07:45] leumashm: why are you worried? [07:46] TJ- cause the lead developer passed away. im just an infra guy. [07:47] programming is hazardous to your health [07:49] leumashm: you're not aiming to install or remove packages on the source system, simply create a database listing all the top-level 'keepers' and the report that list which you can pass to "apt install" on the new 20.04 host (I'd test it locally in 20.04 virtual machine or container) [07:56] TJ- thanks that was helpful. im just scared. but managed to get the list of items installed on the server~ Thanks! [08:09] I've /etc/resolv.conf pointing to 127.0.0.1 and netstat tells me it's dnsmasq listening on port 53. I can't resolv names [08:09] how do I tell what server is dnsmasq using ? [08:10] nmcli tells me DNS servers: 192.168.1.1, and that server *does* resolv names [08:11] logs contain: dnsmasq[4288]: using nameserver 127.0.0.53#53 [08:11] is dnsmasq querying itself ? [08:11] does that after: dnsmasq[4288]: no servers found in /run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf, will retry [08:12] who's in charge to write servers into /run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf ? [08:20] strk: 127.0.0.53 tells you systemd-resolved is being used [08:21] strk: dnsmasq shouldn't be operating and wouldn't be expected to be referenced in /etc/resolv.conf. We'd expect /etc/resolv.conf to be a symlink: /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf [08:22] strk: what release of Ubuntu is that? [08:23] TJ-: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS [08:23] symlink (from 2013!) is 2013 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [08:23] good hint about .53 being systemd, I didn't know that [08:24] strk: hmmm, so possibly gone through some release-upgrades from 12.04 ? [08:24] interesting, I didn't notice [08:24] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4288/dnsmasq [08:24] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3352/systemd-resolv [08:24] TJ-: yes, many upgrades [08:24] a frankstein [08:24] strk: that'd be why - release-upgrades don't replace such things [08:24] and I'm an old linux user, who missed lot of recent changes [08:24] strk: is it a desktop or server ? [08:25] it was so simple in slackware times, to just manually edit /etc/resolv.conf :P [08:25] desktop [08:25] strk: and could break so easily too :) [08:25] I recently slowley learnt some nmcli [08:25] easy break and easy repair [08:25] like all simple things [08:25] anyway, what's this systemd resolv thing ? [08:26] is dnsmasq using systemd upstream or vice-versa ? [08:26] strk: OK, with Desktop it'll be using NetworkManager which, for 18.04, does have a Recommends: dnsmasq-base [08:26] I have both dnsmasq and dnsmasq-base installed [08:27] file /run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf points to nameserver 127.0.0.53 [08:28] which now makes more sense, now that I noticed .54 ~= -.1 :) [08:28] so dnsmasq uses systemd upstream [08:28] then the next question is: how do I know what upstream is systemd using ? [08:28] because my main problem was with being unable to resolv [08:29] I learnt that adding a proper upstream in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d fixes things [08:29] BUT, if my /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head does NOT contain a nameserver, then the resulting /etc/resolv.conf (upon sudo service resolvconf restart) points to nameserver 127.0.0.1 [08:29] which is dnsmasq, not systemd-resolver [08:30] is systemd-resolved using /etc/resolv.conf ? [08:30] as input, I mean [08:31] my /etc/rc1.d/K02dnsmasq: echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" | /sbin/resolvconf -a lo.$NAME [08:31] so it looks like you've got a mix which is causing issues. I'm unsure why/how systemd-resolve was enabled when NetworkManager is installed and expects dnsmasq-base :s [08:32] can I get rid of it ? [08:32] I'm always happy to collect garbage :) [08:33] strk: *usually* what happens is, NM manages an instance of dnsmasq(-base) and when a connection comes up it 'tells' that instance of dnsmaq the upstream DNS server IP addresses. (In later Ubuntu release NM uses systemd-resolve and not dnsmasq) ... I'm not sure quite how you've ended up with NM > dnsmasq > systemd-resolve :S [08:34] strk: It's so long since I used 18.04 Desktop I'm not sure what the correct solution is either [08:35] strk: in your scenario I assume what is happening is NM's instance of dnsmasq is 'told' the DNS IP addresses but instead of using them it is asking the local systemd-resolve on 127.0.0.53 [08:37] strk: does this give clues as to what dns resolver NM is controlling? "ps -efly | egrep 'dns|resolv|NetworkManager' " [08:48] .about NM it only tells me: /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon [08:49] and then both systemd-resolved and dnsmasq processes exist [08:49] but it's likely systemd being controlled [08:49] uhm, actually I don't really know :) [08:50] but I see a dnsmasq.d/ directory under /etc/NetworkManager [08:50] (empty) [08:50] this may be interesting: [08:50] NetworkManager.conf.dpkg-old:dns=dnsmasq [08:50] Sep 26 2014 NetworkManager.conf.dpkg-old [08:50] so, in 2014, NetworkManager managed dns via dnsmasq [08:51] Dec 4 2019 NetworkManager.conf # as of 2019 there's no "dns" key in that file [08:51] current NetworkManager.conf is short: http://strk.kbt.io/tmp/NetworkManager.conf [08:58] * strk autoremoving --purge [08:58] strk: I'm not sure what to reccommend. I've been looking in an 18.04 container, and that shows NM has the Recommends: on dnsmasq-base but no references to systemd-resolve. *if* the default in 18.04 is to enable systemd-resolved.service then that would explain what you're seeing [08:59] TJ-: I'll start by dropping dnsmasq [09:00] ok, dnsmasq is now gone [09:00] now /etc/resolve.conf only has nameserver 127.0.0.53 [09:00] and that server seem to resolve DNS just fine [09:00] strk: easiest way would be to start a VM and see what the 18.04 desktop installer in 'Try Ubuntu' mode has/does [09:01] strk: ah... and is that a symlink or an actual file? "ls -l /etc/resolv.conf" [09:01] /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [09:01] (same symlink as before I removed dnsmasq) [09:03] I might want dnsmasq back one day, but for now I'll do w/out [09:03] (or does systemd-resolved also cache?) [09:04] they both do basically the same thing in this context [09:08] so both do cache ? [09:56] Why would this not work: //192.168.254.83/Downloads /mnt/Windows_Downloads cifs uid=myuser,credentials=/home/myuser/.smbcredentials,vers=3.1.1,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0 [09:56] running mount results in mount error(2): No such file or directory [09:58] no such file or directory. it doesn't exist to the remote machine. are you sure the source and destination are available?

Cant log in :( any tips? [14:27] waited for 10 minutes, like some suggested. it is just really strange. ubuntu/ubuntu is the root user? [14:28] Foxfir3: on first boot it's ubuntu/ubuntu then you are asked to change the password [14:29] re-flash the card and start over [14:32] Maik: thanks. tried all sorts of combinations. will re-flash. it does seem a little shaky though [14:33] Foxfir3, cloud-init takes a while to run on the pi; that's what sets up the initial user (along with whatever else it's been told to do - the configuration for it is the "user-data" file on the boot partition where you can customize the initial user, add ssh-import-id stuff, etc.) [14:35] as for why the login prompt is permitted to appear before cloud-init has run: that's a complex issue but the tl;dr version is: it's possible to come up with a cloud-init config that creates a user then gets stuck doing some long network operation - if the login prompt is delayed until c-i is done then the admin can be left unable to login even though the user exists at that point [14:36] I'd love to have slightly more fine-grained control over this so we could launch getty (the login prompt) once c-i had definitely created users but was still working on "other stuff", but sadly we don't have that option at the mo === zbenjamin is now known as Guest66139 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [14:42] hi there [14:43] waveform: cloud-init failed. fallback to.. didnt remember to what. so I will try to reflash. [14:44] ran manjaro and fedora on this pi, so i find it a little strange that such a bug exist [14:44] is it possible to install remotely a ubuntu OS,could not find something newer [14:45] Foxfir3, once you've reflashed, before you boot the card take a look at "user-data" on the boot partition; there you can customize the name & password (and whether the password is expired) for the initial user. However, note that applies to first boot only - it won't change things if modified after the first boot [14:46] waveform: thn [14:46] waveform: thanks. i actually just made that mistake. [14:47] i run ubuntu server on vultr. Zeo [14:47] zero isues with that [14:48] I must admit one of the annoying things about cloud-init is that if you muck up the config you potentially wind up with a broken system (e.g. no default user), but then the idea is you experiment until you get the config you want, then you can easily stamp out as many instances/machines as you want with that config by just copy/pasting it [14:49] (it's just that experimenting is a bit more painful on the pi given the reflashing involved, than with instances in the cloud) [14:53] waveform: manjaro arm (of all things) is the best i have run on the rpi4 so far. I dont like the cloud-init feature. it should be optionable and not default [14:56] while cloud-init has its rough edges (the getty issue being the most visible), it's effectively a standard for initializing cloud images (and the ubuntu pi server image is derived from the ubuntu cloud images). To make it optional would effectively double the server images to those with and those without c-i [14:58] So thunderbird wont stop opening. I dont even use it but it keeps opening over and over. Any idea why or how I can stop this? Its making my computer hang. [15:00] sgen: if you dont use it, why not remove it? === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [15:03] Thats a good point. Im more worried that it wont stop opening. Its just strange. Might be a key bind but Im not sure how or which ... === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === zbenjamin is now known as Guest94509 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === zbenjamin is now known as Guest9862 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [15:17] can someone explain to me how pid files in /var/run are actually used? a program i use in its config file has the option to use a pid file in /var/run or disable it altogether. and in different distros its either active or not === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB [15:31] waveform: thanks. i actually just made that mistake. [15:32] waveform: everything working now. login issue is a bug. its possible to enter user and pass before the python script has been run [15:36] Foxfir3, indeed - and a long standing one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1861128 <- the work-around mentioned in there is present in the images but doesn't appear to work) [15:36] Launchpad bug 1861128 in cloud-init (Ubuntu) "getty.target starts before cloud-config is done" [High,Triaged] [15:37] ubottu: you are a robot. you can fix it [15:37] Foxfir3: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:37] ubottu: you are girlfriend material [15:37] Foxfir3: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:37] Foxfir3: stop it please [15:37] waveform: worked just to wait for it. So they could fix it with a simple warning in the shell [15:38] Hey guys, I've got ubuntu 20.04 live on a usb. Wondering if it's possible to use the standard installation wizard to put it on another usb with a persistent volume. Or should I just use mkusb? [15:38] use mkusb [15:39] alright [15:39] so the installation wizard only lets you install on the hard drive? [15:40] no, one can select the 2nd usb to install too. [15:40] Foxfir3, that was something I attempted (way back when this was first reported) but there's something that clears the screen at some point and before I could figure that out other more pressing things got in the way. If I get some time this cycle I'll see if I can re-visit it though === zbenjamin is now known as Guest25922 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [15:41] oerheks then why use mkusb instead of install wizard? [15:42] does it not let you put persistence? [15:42] waveform: change the userscript so the password isnt temporary? [15:43] waveform: no. you metioned that wont work [15:43] you can make the password non-temporary in user-data but doing so is a security risk, so I can't make it the default (has to be "opt in") [15:44] lumpybump, mkusb for the install iso + persistence. usb to usb for 'normal ' install, which will be horribly slow [15:44] Foxfir3, basically there's no "universally good" solution at the moment, but I should have another look at a warning message as it's a decent enough mitigation that *should* be simple (although it wasn't entirely when I first looked at it) [15:44] aha I get it [15:45] waveform: dammit. i see. well.. it works. Ubuntu desktop, cloud server and rpi4 server. all ubuntu'ed up. you can imagine the remarks i get from old Arch users :D [15:46] but what's the difference between 'normal' install and iso + persistence? Maybe it's a stupid question, but I've only ever really used ubuntu in live sessions. [15:46] oerheks ^ [15:46] this live/install iso does not have the latest kernel fixes and other updates. [15:47] waveform: anyone at Cannonical to fix it? They should have programmers working from Isle of man [15:47] use it with care. [15:48] waveform: it has to be low level. Asking 'do you want to use cloud-init?' [15:50] Foxfir3, there's pretty much no way to do something like that - you can't guarantee any particular interface on boot (c-i is designed for completely headless remote systems), so it'd come down to having with-c-i and without-c-i images and the release team are highly unlikely to go for that :) === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [15:50] oerheks so a normal installation has kernel fixes/updates and the live/iso aren't always up to date? [15:50] jups [15:50] waveform: i see. so basically it would have to be two separate images [15:51] waveform: or the fix you attempted [15:51] Foxfir3, as to who's bug it is to fix: almost certainly mine - I'm the guy responsible for the pi images at canonical. Unfortunately, while it's on my list it's pretty low down (below things like "get bluetooth working on the CM4" :) [15:52] waveform: i see :D well.. good to know there is a list. didnt test dual monitors or sound yet. will be nice with bt. very sweet. [15:53] waveform: feels like Ubuntu is 'coming back' [15:55] Foxfir3, dual monitor does work, but there's a whole pile of edge cases with at the moment (most of which we can't currently do much about as they're "upstream firmware" issues, e.g. the way full-screen audio doesn't work unless it's on HDMI0 instead of HDMI1). Sound should work fine, but the cert team did alert me to an issue with the head-phone jack which I've failed to replicate so far [15:55] Foxfir3, install gnome-tweak-tool for ore settings :-) [15:55] c/more [16:01] hello all. i have a bluetooth joystick on ubuntu 20.04 (xbox 1 s emulation type using the kernel drivers) and i've got it paired and everything works fine. however, the first time i start up my computer and connect it, nothing works. it appears in /dev/input but nothing can read from it. e.g. xf86-input-joystick, any SDL apps, etc. jstest can however. if i disconnect and reconnect it everything is good again. [16:08] #archlinux [16:10] waveform: i see. so basically minor issues. where to report issues? github? [16:12] ubuntu issues are reported on launchpad Foxfir3 [16:35] Foxfir3, on a sidenote ... there is only one ubuntu developer on the isle of man .. thats mark shuttleworth 😉 [17:21] ogra: https://businesstech.co.za/news/government/90990/why-shuttleworth-lost-his-r250-million-tax-battle/ [17:21] Quick question guys. On this post (https://askubuntu.com/questions/80455/no-root-file-system-defined-error-while-installing-ubuntu) user Saidi Awad advises to use ext4, ext3, or ext2 but NOT FAT32/NTFS when installing Ubuntu on a partition. [17:21] Why are ext filesystems preferred? [17:21] Thanks! [17:22] lumpybump: not FAT32 since it doesn't support attributes for ownership or access (modes) [17:22] lumpybump: exfat is commercial [17:23] lumpybump: ntfs should be free though [17:23] lumpybump: and although NTFS does with ACLs its support on Linux and access patterns don't lead to much confidence [17:24] lumpybump: unless there are over-riding reasons, choose an in-kernel file-system [17:25] alrighty, thanks! === ijohnson is now known as ijohnson|lunch [18:17] sarnold: I just had to put enp1s0 in the netplan b/c the nic switched again. So i have enp1s0 and enp4s0 [18:18] pcfreak30: oh man :( I had really hoped this was all sorted :( [18:18] its up, but i had to go manual again to fix it [18:18] idk why its deciding to keep renaming [18:18] at this rate ill be bridging 1-10 === ijohnson|lunch is now known as ijohnson === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK_ [19:10] hi [19:11] I know, that I installed a package in "snap" but I fail to uninstall it [19:11] how can I please find out the real name of the package? [19:11] "snap remove gnome" won't work [19:11] I ran "df -h" and saw this line: [19:11] /dev/loop5 163M 163M 0 100% /snap/gnome-3-28-1804/145 === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK_ [19:14] Rojola: 'snap changes' may report something [19:15] thank you, sarnold, but that only shows recent events [19:15] dang [19:15] $ sudo snap remove gnome [19:15] snap "gnome" is not installed [19:15] ^ that is my problem [19:15] snap list [19:16] I found it! [19:16] snap remove gnome-3-28-1804 [19:16] sorry for bothering you guys! [19:16] thank you sarnold [19:16] thank you hofer [19:19] Rojola: aha! I hadn';t thought of that :D [19:19] thanks [19:20] hey all, I recently updated to 20.04 and I've run into some trouble with an older software that depends on libssl.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0; can anyone tell me if it's possible and how to add these shared libraries to ubuntu 20.04 for the benefit of installing my legacy software? [19:22] the easiest thing might be to use lxd to run an older version of ubuntu in a container [19:24] interesting, what's lxd? [19:24] found it https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/ [19:25] Hi, I do have funny problem while installing Ubuntu. I'm trying to install multiboot system with Win10. This is about 5 yr old ASUS laptop, and UEFI is used, no fastboot etc problem found. There was some problems I got fixed, but now Ubuntu Live USB boots Win 10 when I try boot it :D What the heck? I don't know what other things to tell, so please [19:25] ask :) Thank you! [19:26] vicatcu: I'd create symlinks first to 1.1 versions of both libs Maybe it'll do if api is backward compatible [19:26] sarnold, so is lxd appropriate for running GUI programs? The software I need to install is an older version of EagleCAD [19:27] blb4393, oh that's an interesting idea [19:29] vicatcu: good question :) it'd certainly be more complicated than most folks use of lxd [19:29] there's systemd-nspawn nowadays [19:30] if symlinking won't work [19:39] Ye, will go and try again :D [19:42] blb4393, where should I put the symlink? [19:42] /usr/lib64? [19:43] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -- if that matches your architecture. check dpkg -L libssl1.1 for the location of your current library [19:43]
