[00:45] or even an upstart script on systemd [00:45] razorback: No dice, but lemme go ahead and apply all the changes I have in synaptic first [00:46] and I'll try from apt === CamBan69_ is now known as CamBan69 === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [01:06] razorback: nope, didn't work [01:06] 'no installation candidate' [01:08] StupidLikeAFox: what does "apt-cache search lightyears" show? [01:09] it didn't produce any output [01:11] And what does "apt-cache policy" say? [01:15] razorback: https://pastebin.com/qFc90mbg [01:17] CrazyLikeAFox: ah, yes, it's not available for focal [01:19] CrazyLikeAFox: maybe you can try http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lightyears/lightyears_1.4-2_all.deb [01:26] Hey so how do I get audio playing through my speakers to not play through my discord mic? I'm playing some Youtube videos and the audio plays through my Discord microphone during calls. [01:27] razorback: Thank you much :D [01:28] Installed that, did a fix-broken, and it's good to go [01:28] StupidLikeAFox: nice. I didn't know if it would work but I'm glad I was able to help [01:28] Adalogic: many of these kinds of things can be solved by running pavucontrol [01:29] what is the latest model Macbook that will run Ubuntu? (I know that there is not currently support for T2.) [01:29] Alright! I'll try that out right now. [01:34] I'm getting notice that updates & security updates are available but I just ran 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' [01:35] I forgot what to do in this case... [01:35] robertparkerx, are there any with `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` (upgrade has limits on what it can upgrade; refer `man apt-get` for details [01:35] robertparkerx: I think that can also come from firmware updates, try fwupdmgr upgrade ? [01:41] 'apt-get dist-upgrade' did it [01:41] ty [01:41] hi, my brave browser can't update anymore, the message: "brave-browser is already the newest version (1.3.115)." stay the same for months. [01:46] https://community.brave.com/c/faq/release-notes/98 -- oww, feels like you're a year behind [02:02] sarnold, yes , that is an installation instruction{. not deb files to download. [02:02] I've tried that for many times. [02:11] does anyone know if i could get systemd to execute a command outside the user folder (bypass permissions) [02:13] Ubun00by: run the service file as root or another user with permissions. Other than that, no, that would be a security flaw [02:13] Ubun00by: WorkingDirectory= in systemd.exec(5) perhaps? what are you trying to do? [02:13] i am running it as root [02:13] Ubun00by: then you can stick the program it's calling anywhere you like [02:13] run virtual machine that is on another drive [02:14] command needs to be called in folder with VM [02:14] Ubun00by: VM? [02:14] virtual machine [02:14] Ubun00by: ok? [02:14] which is on a seperate drive from the root [02:15] Ubun00by: and you want the VM to be able to access a file on drive/partition not mounted in the VM? [02:15] no [02:15] i just want the host machine to start the VM, via system d script [02:15] Ubun00by: ok? [02:15] really simple [02:15] but i keep getting permission denied [02:15] Ubun00by: what is the issue then? [02:15] Ubun00by: please pastebin what you have so far and the error messages [02:16] blueingress: install brave from snap.

[02:21] vagrant up ubuntu2004 is the command [02:22] i see so I need to write an executable instead? [02:22] Ubun00by: why do you have /media/data in there at all? [02:22] more directories [02:22] it's a samba shared drive [02:23] Ubun00by: for what? The ExecStart line is to run a command [02:23] Ubun00by: ok, how about this .... how do you normally start the VM from the command line? [02:23] yes that's what I'm trying to do. Go to directory /media/data/KVM and run the VM [02:23] aha!

[02:29] no, /usr/bin/vagrant is the full path to the vagrant binary [02:30] Ubun00by: https://linuxhint.com/path_in_bash/ [02:31] thank you leftyfb, i will read that and troubleshoot [02:31] it's just telling me exit code now [02:32] run-ubuntu2004-vm.service: Failed with result 'exit-code' [02:32] Ubun00by: journalctl -u run-ubuntu2004-vm.service [02:34] Ubun00by: can I ask why you are making a service just to start the VM? [02:34] leftyfb, how can I start it from command line? tahnks [02:35] so that this VM is always running whenever the host is rebooted up [02:35] Ubun00by: vagrant up "ubuntu2004 [02:35] run-ubuntu2004-vm.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /media/data/KVM: Permission denied [02:35] Ubun00by: config.vm.define "ubuntu2004", autostart: true [02:36] Ubun00by: you can configure your VM's to autoboot [02:36] blueingress: start what? brave? [02:41] leftyfb: I thought autostart was just for controlling the general vagrant up command to have specific VMs not start with just "vagrant up" [02:41] Ubun00by: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/multi-machine [02:41] leftyfb, yes. from command line [02:41] Ubun00by: please read the docuentation [02:42] yes i reviewed that [02:42] blueingress: did you try typing: brave [02:43] Ubun00by: ok, and doesn't vagrant start on boot for you? [02:43] leftyfb: correct [02:43] leftyfb, greate ..:-) [02:43] leftyfb: i need a way to automatically vagrant up that folder [02:44] Ubun00by: ok, then if vagrant starts on boot, then the VM's should come up as well as long as they are set to true for autostart [02:44] Ubun00by: please pastebin your service file [02:46] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/w3QZDDDMJG/ [02:46] still gives me the same permission error [02:47] leftyfb: run-ubuntu2004-vm.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /media/data/KVM: Permission denied [02:48] Ubun00by: just to be clear, did you run systemctl daemon-reload after making these changes? [02:48] yes [02:48] is that a mount point? is the noexec option set on it? [02:48] because the error message sure looks like you're still trying to execute the directory [02:49] it is a mount point! i think that's what i need to fix, yes [02:49] sarnold: every time i change the file i reload the daemon, start and then journal [02:50] Ubun00by: try systemd-analyze /etc/systemd/system/run-ubuntu2004-vm.service ? [02:50] Ubun00by: please remove the +'s [02:50] wait.... [02:50] Ubun00by: where does this service file live and how did you enable it? [02:51] exists in /etc/systemd/system [02:51] why does "apt remove --purge mysql-server" leave old user credentials in /var/lib/mysql ? [02:51] i very specifically said --purge [02:52] but.. it didn't purge the useraccounts of the mysql server [02:52] hansh: maybe because the user credentials created there were not part of the package to begin with? [02:53] Ubun00by: what command did you use to enable the service? [02:53] leftyfb: i do systemctl daemon-reload, then systemctl start file.service [02:53] leftyfb, incorrect, it doesn't purge the "root account", and the root account is there to begin with. [02:53] Ubun00by: what command did you use to *enable* the service? [02:53] leftyfb, (good guess though) [02:53] leftyfb: systemctl enable file.service [02:53] Ubun00by: did you run that as root or use sudo? [02:54] leftyfb: root [02:54] Ubun00by: you are logged in as root? [02:54] leftyfb: yeah [02:54] anyway i need to figure out how to ACTUALLY purge the root account, as the password is lost [02:55] iirc i can do some `sudo service mysqld stop; mysqld --skip-grant-table` thing tho [02:56] xamua: my folder is marked noexec [02:56] ... [02:56] hansh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9Zj3nSnrVp/ [02:56] hansh: it looks like it's configurable via debconf if the databases will be removed [02:57] Ubun00by: can you run this from the commandline?: /usr/bin/vagrant up ubuntu2004 [02:57] Ubun00by: as root [02:57] leftyfb: doesn't work. i need to be in the directory of the vagrantfile [02:59] Ubun00by: and if you are in that directory? [02:59] leftyfb: i just type: vagrant up ubuntu2004 [02:59] Ubun00by: and if you are in that directory, can you please run: /usr/bin/vagrant up ubuntu2004 === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [03:00] leftyfb: sorry, yes that works [03:04] Ubun00by: you know what I would do? Create the service file to start vagrant as opposed to the individual VM's [03:04] Ubun00by: you want it started regardless [03:05] leftyfb: i don't think that's how vagrant works. it's basically KVM always running [03:07] leftyfb: it's just a command line utilty not sure how to explain [03:07] leftyfb: libvirt is the actual thing that runs [03:08] leftyfb: vagrant just automates the provisioning for me [03:08] Ubun00by: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-centos-linux-kvm-virtualization-start-virtual-machine-guest/ [03:18] leftyfb: thank you soo much, i think i was really overcomplicating it! i will just write a script to execute a virsh shutdown instead, since that will not be dependent on any directory [03:19] leftyfb: i have been heavily reliant on the automated vagrant tool that I oversaw the main qemu operations === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc [03:37] leftyfb: ahhh the libvirt commands to start the VM don't work, since it's provisioned via vagrant. I wrote a script with the virsh commands and they can only show status and shutdown a VM [03:38] leftyfb: error: Requested operation is not valid: network 'vagrant-libvirt' is not active [03:39] error: autostart doesn't work so i guess i have to go back to figuring out a vagrant script again lol [04:34] leftyfb: are you still available?

[06:43] I'm trying to install the unifi controller on my machine, but I get "the following packages have unmet dependencies": https://bpa.st/AKZKK on mongo. Can I install these manually, or does that mean the package is broken? [06:43] sara2010: your paste to https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/MVjqMwZpnv/ suggests that the scanner connected, but identification failed the first time it was enumerated. the second time, it seemed to succeed, but then the device disconnected. this may be due to several reasons, including usb power issues.

[06:45] jayjo: you're probably missing the 'universe' repository, which provides mongodb packages [06:46] I ran 'sudo add-apt-repository universe' and still get that error [06:46] tomreyn, so how i fix this issue [06:47] sara2010: so this needs to be further analyzed and solved before you can address the driver support. driver support is discussed at the askubuntu post previously mentioned here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1107632/install-canon-lide-300-400-on-ubuntu-18-04 [06:49] sara2010: for the issue of the decvice disconnecting, you can removing any usb devices you don't strictly require, and move those you require to a different usb bus (i.e. make them show up with different bus IDs in the output you posted, "usb 2-1.6" is a usb bus id + port) [06:50] sara2010: you can also try conecting the scanner itself to a different usb bus while reducing the number of other USB connected devices [06:51] sara2010: to further debug the device enumeration issues, you can use the "udevadm monitor" command, running it before you connect the scanner [06:53] sara2010: USB device enumeration is done by the Linux kernel (and udev). you can try a different kernel version, such as the !hwe oder hwe-edge kernel series or !mainline kernel builds to do some cross testing.

I have to use killall to close it. After that, FF starts in a 1/3 size window of whole desktop, window flickers and FF is unresponsive. 2 to 3 restarts of FF resolves the problem. Anyone else experiencing the same? [09:45] !derivatives | drag0nius: if, by "derivative", you referred to a ubuntu-lookalike installation [09:45] drag0nius: if, by "derivative", you referred to a ubuntu-lookalike installation: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [09:48] elias_a: generally, in my experience, both Firefox and Chromium / Chrome don't do well when it comes to out of memory situations and Linux swapping memory out to disk. This said, given sufficient physical memory, the number of open tabs should not matter much unless you have problematic browser extensions. [09:50] you can restart firefox with add-ons disabled from the help menu or using firefox --safe-mode but beware that this could cause your previous session (and potentially open tabs) to be lost. [09:51] i mean like i took the base box, then provisioned it with my configration installing ~50 packages, few snaps and configured the services running in it [09:51] drag0nius: so it's based on a golden image? [09:52] if so, how was that produced? [09:52] i've multi-stage packer setup running simple python scripts (run apt, write config files, restart services etc.) [09:53] my main question is: did you initially install ubuntu, and how? [09:53] then i worked on re-running all the provisioning stages (eg. after an update) on the final image and i noticed apt-get update got bogged down after a few tries [09:54] it's https://app.vagrantup.com/ubuntu/boxes/focal64 except i granted it 16 GB of RAM and 100% of 4 CPU cores [09:54] basically each of 4 stages runs apt-get update then apt-get install [09:56] so, based on the text onn this web page, this image seems to be somehow based on one of the official cloud images hosted at https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com [09:57] hi [09:57] I have noticed my USB3 port operates in USB2 mode (45MB/s max data transfer) [09:57] do I need to install something? [10:00] drag0nius: So at least the base image you used seems to be one we can support here. Please note that ensuring you're working with proper, safe, original images is really your job to make yourself aware of if you're using images provided by someone somewhere that is not, on first sight, Canonical / Ubuntu. Now, did you make changes to the apt configuration? Which mirror servers are you using? Can you share a debug (Acquire::http/https) output of [10:00] the apt actions you perform? [10:02] i've definitely added the Docker repository and that's it for modifying apt configuration [10:02] how do i get that debug output? [10:03] drag0nius: and the apt signing key, too? [10:03] yeah [10:04] -o Debug::Acquire::http=1 -o Debug::Acquire::https=1 [10:08] elektrinis: tell us about your ubuntu release ( lsb_release -ds ), kernel version and command line ( cat /proc/{version,cmdline} ), using https://paste.ubuntu.com (see /topic and type !paste here). try unplugging all usb devices you don't strictly require, reboot, see whether it's still USB2 only. Also tell us how you tell, share logs as needed. And try a different kernel version, such as !hwe or hwe-edge, or even !mainline [10:09] tomreyn: https://gist.github.com/bec-zt8/38b613595f48c95e5f78f5a15c08d43d nothing unusual in here [10:09] elektrinis: this can also be a matter of your mainboard firmware configuration ("BIOS"), or a bug therein (firmware upgrades *can* help) [10:10] except it's on 22% after ~2 minutes before i typed in gist url :P [10:10] tomreyn thanks, will try. [10:10] !biosupdate | elektrinis suggested by tomreyn [10:10] elektrinis suggested by tomreyn: To see how to update your bios on Ubuntu visit the community collected methods here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate [10:11] drag0nius: ah, so the download stage isn't the problem but it gets stuck during reading the package list? [10:12] yeah [10:12] actually had a command typo (https and httpss) but that doesn't matter [10:13] parsing/reading/whatever the list takes painfully long [10:14] drag0nius: so the output is the same with "http{,s}" ? can you try this without a http proxy, just to be sure that's not the cause (it often is)? [10:15] tomreyn well now I get USB3 speeds. Not sure what was wrong. Thanks anyway. [10:15] nope, i'm behind corporate proxy [10:19] i've actually updated the git at rev 2 [10:19] elektrinis: a bad usb device, or just insufficient power to properly power all attached devices could cause this. [10:20] maybe. [10:21] or maybe it was USBA->USBC adapter, which, now I think, does not have the lanes. [10:22] apt-get upgrade has exactly the same issue [10:22] drag0nius: there's debugging code for this, too, see apt.conf(5) [10:22] `apt list --installed` takes forever too i guess [10:23] maybe the storage is just slow? [10:23] everything else seems to work fine [10:23] anything in dmesg? [10:24] system date wrong? [10:24] date is fine [10:24] only dockerd messages in dmesg [10:25] maybe i could do something to reset the apt storage? [10:25] ~$ sudo udisks --detach /dev/sda [10:25] sudo: udisks: command not found [10:25] am I doing something wrong? [10:25] udisks seems to be installed [10:26] drag0nius: you can rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/ [10:26] tried that before i think, doing it again [10:27] elektrinis: just because a package of name 'somepackage' is installed, doesn't mean there will be a command 'somepackage'. use udiskctl [10:27] maybe there is something i could run to benchmark storage? [10:28] found the command on some guides online [10:28] but ok. [10:31] i didn't notice anything else having issues (i'm developing in IntelliJ, running stuff in docker container etc.) [10:32] drag0nius: fio or bonnie++ for storage benchmarking. if you are doing this commercially (you seemto), then i recommend dedicating more time on the ops part of your devops career for a while. [10:43] I'm hitting some keyboard input bugs. Is IBus something Ubuntu uses, and something I can disable to hopefully simplify the architecture to see if I can get around the bug? [10:45] Language Support -> Keyboard input method system -> IBus/XIM/none - Got it! [10:57] join #c# [11:15] how much space is needed to apt install the kernel header .deb? got a VM with 700Mb free disk space but unzipping still fails [12:12] !info linux-headers-generic | charolastra [12:12] charolastra: linux-headers-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel headers. In component main, is optional. Version 5.4.0.65.68 (focal), package size 2 kB, installed size 18 kB [12:13] well, generic is just the pointer to the current version [12:13] yup [12:13] !info linux-headers-5.4.0-65-generic | charolastra [12:13] charolastra: linux-headers-5.4.0-65-generic (source: linux): Linux kernel headers for version 5.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP. In component main, is optional. Version 5.4.0-65.73 (focal), package size 1204 kB, installed size 14143 kB [12:13] seems 14mb [12:14] yeah, shouldn't be that much but installation fails even with >700mb free disk space [12:14] what's the error? [12:14] unable to create '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-186/include/video/edid.h.dpkg-new' (while processing './usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-186/include/video/edid.h'): No space left on device [12:14] charolastra: are you doing it as root? i think 5% is reserved for root [12:15] and 'df' says: /dev/sda1 6.9G 5.8G 736M 89% / [12:15] and yes, directly as root [12:16] charolastra: inodes good? df -i [12:16] and df -i /dev/sda1 [12:16] gfgd [12:17] 905 free inodes [12:18] charolastra: that might be it, dpkg -L headers... | wc -l shows 9000+ files/dirs [12:18] yeah, so each file inside the archive needs a inode while unpacking? === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [12:18] those are the files that it installs to the system, not the archive [12:20] ok, any way to get more free inodes? [12:20] delete any files you dont want, there's got to be something that's installing a lot of tiny files so it ate them all up [12:21] any service running that writes a lot of tiny files? [12:21] can't think of much. it's a VM that serves a few websites and the SQL DBs for those [12:22] actually it's a single wordpress instance on that one [12:23] are you sure df -i shows 905 left or used? whats the percent free, dont mean to be rude [12:25] charolastra: try "sudo find / -xdev -printf '%h\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -k 1 -n;" it should show the list of dirs and how many files are in there [12:26] don't worry, we all know what's usually going on in IRC help channels. the df -i says: /dev/sda1 458752 457847 905 100% / [12:27] ok, hopefully the find command can show what's the culprit [12:28] i have added two HDDs to my setup and I can hear they are being accesed constantly, even though they are empty. [12:28] is this normal? [12:33] EriC^^: thanks! the most inodes are in the various /usr/src/linux-headers-x.x.x and in /var/lib/dpkg/info [12:44] Hi. I had doubt which isn't exactly related to ubuntu but that I hope some of you can help me out with. I am running firefox on ubuntu and of late I've noticed that some websites (I could find no relation between them) redirect me to a website at "binomo.com" when I click on some part of the webpage. I searched about this binomo online and it seems to be something that involves money. This problem happens [12:44] occassionally that if I try soon after it happened at a time, I'm unable to replicate it. But it keeps happening over and over again at later points of time. All this made me think that my computer may have been infected somehow. If that's the case, any idea how I can get rid of it? I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 [12:46] any clues? https://imgur.com/3hVOZjX.png [12:48] you're trying to install 18.04 packages on a 20.04 system? that's not really supported [13:11] Hi folks [13:21] Hi everyone. I'm a total novice running Lubuntu on a laptop. Does anybody know how to set up a network share for a folder on a Win 10 m/c? I've got as far as mounting the folder I want on my Linux m/c but I don't have any write access. It's enabled for Everyone on the Win side but when I try to creat a fold from Linux I get 'Permission denied'....... [13:22] When booting the "live server" image of 20.04.1, is it's possible to force it not to use anything graphical ? No X, not even framebuffer [13:22] Or even better: does it do this automatically ? [13:26] Bozwell: not sure if this is helpful: https://davescomputertips.com/how-to-network-sharing-with-lubuntu/ [13:29] Thanks Maik [13:29] yw [13:29] geirha: what should I do? [13:29] geirha: you are correct. what is the 20v package? [13:29] garo: try #ubuntu-server if you like [13:30] Intelo: apt install mysql-client ? [13:30] the apt-cache policy command you ran shows that there are three versions available. Those are the ones you can choose from [13:30] Intelo: ^ [13:35] nevermind, i tried in a vbox :-) [13:35] (it supports it, if you are fast enough to enter grub) [13:39]
