lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> timedatectl show-timesync will show the current server you are synced to. (re @heysoundude: Does anybody know how to check if my network connection is following the ntp server on my router?)10:17
dsc_Hello, what does lubuntu use for networking, netplan or systemd-networking?13:07
dsc_version 20.0413:07
dsc_I'm asking because my networkig is wrecked, can't get anymore interwebs13:12
dsc_god knows I love my interwebs13:12
dsc_So seems like (kernel?) upgrade I recently destroyed my networking14:13
dsc_With kernel 5.8.0-38 I can't see any drivers under my ethernet controller: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 (lspci -k)14:14
dsc_I downgraded to `5.4.0-60` and now I it actually lists drivers for my ethernet controller:14:15
dsc_Kernel driver in use: r816914:15
dsc_Kernel modules: r816914:15
dsc_and I have networking again14:15

Arrow88hi18:27
Arrow88I'm burning Gallium to a usb18:28
Arrow88I tend to prefer debian or lubuntu18:28
Arrow88I once had a very good setup with lubuntu18:29
Arrow88Ubuntu too18:29
Arrow88...on different machines18:29
Arrow88This time it's a Chromebook18:29
Arrow88It will be at work tomorrow18:31

Arrow88Is anyone used to both Debian and Lubuntu?21:01
Arrow88Join #debian21:04
lubot[telegram] <teward001> Arrow88: Debian and Lubuntu aren't that much different, but we usually don't ask for people to join other channels21:11
lubot[telegram] <teward001> Debian's support is on OFTC by the way ;)21:12
lubot[telegram] <teward001> not here on Freenode21:12
genii..I was going to point this out LOL21:12
Arrow88I am trying to find the difference between the light running components in Debian versus lubuntu21:13
lubot[telegram] <teward001> genii: where's my coffee21:13
lubot[telegram] <teward001> Arrow88: That's a much more in-depth comparison than you will get on IRC21:13
lubot[telegram] <teward001> because the fundamental components on LXQt Debian and Lubuntu LXQT are different in what is default-installed21:13
Arrow88 know Ubuntu is derived from Debian21:13
lubot[telegram] <teward001> so you can't compare Apples and Oranges in this case21:13
* Arrow88 googles lxqt21:14
Arrow88I think I had lxde21:15
lubot[telegram] <teward001> since a while ago, Lubuntu has switched to LXQt21:15
lubot[telegram] <teward001> at least t=he last handful of Lubuntu releases including 20.04 are LXQt now21:16
Arrow88I see21:16
lubot[telegram] <teward001> not LXDE21:16
lubot[telegram] <teward001> hence the comparison of Apples and Oranges I mentioned21:16
lubot[telegram] <teward001> the lightest Debian desktop install I've had is with their netinst ISO, base Debian utilities (system tools, wget, curl, vim, etc.), and LXQt21:16
lubot[telegram] <teward001> has a similar footprint to Ubuntu Server + Only LXQt, but is fundamentally different under the hood by what network utiltlies are preinstalled, etc.21:17
lubot[telegram] <teward001> (I have a customization script too that minimizes my installs for my VMs and embedded devices, which the Lubuntu Team doesn't endorse)21:17
lubot[telegram] <teward001> but in terms of a direct comparison between the two environments, there's no full documentation/writeup21:18
lubot[telegram] <teward001> because Debian and Ubuntu are at their core fundamentally different21:18
Arrow88I thought Ubuntu devs was sent update packages directly from debian monthly or weeklyl21:19
Arrow88it used to be like that21:19
Arrow88Eitehr way, I guess I just have to try21:19
Arrow88I shall probably not get that into kernels and under the hood stuff right now21:20
lubot[telegram] <teward001> Arrow88: you're thinking only during the development cycles and ONLY when we have autosync on - there's freezes, etc. that halt syncs21:26
lubot[telegram] <teward001> unlike Debian Unstable, it's *not* a rolling release type situation21:26
lubot[telegram] <teward001> as i said21:27
lubot[telegram] <teward001> fundamental differences21:27
lubot[telegram] <CWM030> I was just talking to @kc2bez  in another room and I think there needs to be an option in either OPENBOX or LXQT SETTINGS to where we can turn off that blue outline around active windows. Its really annoying when you're coming from SUSE or Fedora where that is not offered22:20
lubot[telegram] <CWM030> PS dont use LXQT SUSE...  It went bonkers on me....22:21
lynorianI am not quite sure how that is implemented to be honest so not sure where the setting should be22:24
lubot[telegram] <CWM030> Dan said its was a featured requested. But there should be a way to turn it on and off in the settings or in OpenBox settings. I think it should go under appearance (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <lynorian> I am not quite sure how that is implemented to be honest so not sure where the setting should be)22:25
lynorianit does make it easier to resize by adding to the edges22:26
lubot[telegram] <CWM030> yeah22:26
lubot[telegram] <CWM030> See I came from SUSE... and neither it or Fedora ( I was on fedora for like 2 hours Lol) and it was just regular screen edges22:27
wxlthere's no accounting for taste, admittedly23:12
wxlluckily it's super simple to resize windows without ever even needing to drag23:12
wxler, drag screen edges23:13
wxlsame with moving: the window doesn't even need to be on screen23:13
dsc_Now that there are people around .. `apt upgrade -y` killed my networking, more specifically I cannot see a driver loaded for my ethernet controller under `lspci -k`23:15
dsc_so I downgraded kernel version grub to get networking working23:15
dsc_in grub*23:16
dsc_My question is, what should I do23:16
dsc_keep using the older kernel? :D23:17
wxlthat's certainly a possible solution23:17
dsc_then we will do just that23:17
wxlotherwise i'd investigate the driver itself23:18
wxldon't you have a realtek chip?23:18
dsc_I do indeed23:18
dsc_Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)23:18
wxlyeah they are a never ending source of problems23:18
wxli used to think broadcom was bad until i've had to deal with them23:18
dsc_I cheaped out by buying the most affordable mobo I could find23:18
wxlat least with broadcom it's pretty straight forward once you get it set up23:18
wxlwhat's the pci id? (`lspci -nnk` should give you that at the end of that same line in the form [xxxx:xxxx] where x is an alphanumeric)23:19
wxlalso that should give you not only kernel modules loaded but kernel modules AVAILABLE23:19
wxlit may simply be an issue of needing to switch over to a new driver23:20
dsc_[10ec:8168] (rev 15)23:20
wxland you're on 20.04?23:20
dsc_Currently on older kernel:23:20
dsc_        Kernel driver in use: r816923:20
dsc_        Kernel modules: r816923:20
dsc_yes, 20.0423:20
wxloh oh23:20
dsc_at least, that's what my desktop wallpaper says ... 20.0423:21
dsc_:D23:21
wxlmight be worthwhile to flip to the new kernel and see if you get another available module23:21
wxllsb_release -a will do the trick23:21
dsc_20.04.1 LTS23:21
wxlk 1s23:21
dsc_kernel 5.4.0-6023:21
wxli'm surprised ethernet is the issue too23:21
wxlbut again, freaking realtek23:22
dsc_5.8.0-38 <== causing problems23:22
dsc_Well, I think it's driver because on this newer kernel, `lspci` does not show me any drivers loaded/listed23:23
dsc_That's as far as my detective skills goes23:23
wxlharumph23:24
wxlsearching…23:24
wxlcan you pastebin `lsmod`?23:26
wxli'm confused as to how you got 5.8 at all23:27
dsc_sure23:27
wxl!info src:linux focal23:27
ubottuPackage srclinux does not exist in focal23:27
* wxl kicks the bot23:27
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Everyopne is getting it in 20.04 it seems wxl23:28
wxli… don't understand23:28
wxlhttps://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal-updates/linux23:28
wxlthat is clearly not 5.823:28
dsc_lsmod: https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/d0f9ccab23:28
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> hmm, many are getting the HWE kernel23:28
dsc_I just ... upgraded my distro ... like a good citizen :D23:29
wxli'm kind of at a loss23:30
wxlthere's probably some github repo somewhere with a good driver23:30
wxlthat will then shortly be deprecated23:30
dsc_[user@box ~ ]$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep "5.8"23:30
dsc_ii  linux-image-5.8.0-38-generic                  5.8.0-38.43~20.04.1                   amd64        Signed kernel image generic23:30
wxli've seen a number of similar issues along those lines lately23:30
wxlhey i believe you, i just don't understand how23:31
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Exactly, there have been a bunch.23:31
dsc_https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/1319022b23:31
wxleither way, it's a *buntu problem not a lubuntu one23:31
dsc_ah ok23:31
dsc_fair enough23:31
wxlmeaning it should affect every flavor23:31
dsc_cool cool23:31
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> I think it is.23:31
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> I have seen some issues in Ask Ubuntu too I think.23:32
dsc_Nobody has reported about it here because they can't connect to IRC23:32
dsc_(joke)23:32
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> I think someone did have this issue here over the weekend maybe.23:33
wxlok so here's looking at your #1 repo, the nl mirror23:33
wxlhere's 5.4 in the focal repo https://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/signed/23:34
dsc_wtf?23:34
wxlah but the 5.8 hwe in updates https://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-updates/main/signed/23:34
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> I was just going to say, I think HWE is on for desktop by default.23:35
wxland yet that's not what appears to be on packages.u.c23:35
wxli never really pay attention but are HWEs always or even often new versions?23:35
wxl@teward001 oh core dev you have any thoughts on this mess?23:36
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> He was griping about it the other day, so yes.23:36
wxli see :(23:36
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> HWE kernels are usually newer kernels, yes.23:37
wxlsorry i don't have better news for you, dsc_. i'd stick with the older kernel for now23:37
dsc_no problem at all23:37
dsc_thanks for the help23:37
wxlit may be worth filing a bug against the kernel23:37
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Absolutely, if there already is one you can add some heat.23:38
wxlyeppers23:38
wxlin fact let's see what the hot bugs are…23:38
dsc_where does one partake in such blackmailing?23:38
wxlhm that's not very telling23:39
dsc_bugzilla.kernel.org?23:39
wxlbut hold onnnnn23:39
wxlnope just do `ubuntu-bug linux`23:40
dsc_ah23:40
wxlaren't these the hwe bugs??? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs?field.tag=kernel-stable-tracking-bug&orderby=-id&start=023:40
wxlthat last one for the focal (20.04) 5.4.90 update is 2 hours old!23:41
wxli'm really confused about how 5.8 is there23:41
wxlin fact that's kind of driving me batty23:42
wxlhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux23:42
dsc_https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/190665523:42
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1906655 in linux (Ubuntu) "Ethernet interface broken (Flags mismatch irq) after upgrading to kernel 5.8.0-31" [Undecided,Confirmed]23:42
wxl5.8 exists in groovy and hippo23:42
wxldsc_: you have that same dmsg error?23:43
wxlalso baffled at that one as it's supposedly focal and 5.823:44
wxlOH interesting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1906655/comments/523:44
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1906655 in linux (Ubuntu) "Ethernet interface broken (Flags mismatch irq) after upgrading to kernel 5.8.0-31" [Undecided,Confirmed]23:44
dsc_I do not have that same message in /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/kern.l .... wait I'm on the old kernel right now :P23:44
dsc_ah, right23:44
wxldsc_: don't worry, i understand your confusion. sometimes i think i'm drowning in vms. XD23:45
dsc_yeah happens :P23:45
dsc_Well, this report sounds like my problem23:46
wxlif you've got the dmesg bit, it probably is23:46
dsc_same ethernet controller, same symptons23:46
dsc_ill reboot and check23:47
wxlah HA so i'm not crazy after all. hwe is a separate package https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/linux-hwe-5.823:53
wxland HWE's are installed by default with LTSs (like focal) so they keep rolling over23:56
wxli think i discovered this at one time but forgot XD23:56
wxlserver defaults to the standard kernel, tho23:57
dsc_ic23:57
dsc_Well, I could not find "the message"23:57
wxlthen you may have a different issue23:58
wxllike similar but different23:58
dsc_right23:58
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> I think I knew it was separate but it hasn't always been enabled by default. I think this is the first LTS where it is. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <wxl> and HWE's are installed by default with LTSs (like focal) so they keep rolling over)23:58
wxlit looks to me in that case the card is detected and a driver is used, but it's problematic23:58
dsc_Ah yes, that output does show a driver loaded23:59
dsc_I don't have that23:59
dsc_Anyway, older kernel is fine23:59
