[05:57] I built a new computer and installed Ubuntu 20.04. My previous box is running Ubuntu 18.04. What is the best way to transfer my files to the new computer? I used Backups to create a backup of my 18.04 computer on an external HD , but when I use Backups to restore the backup on my 20.04 computer, Backups tells me there is nothing on my harddrive to restore. Anyone have any idea what's going on? [06:57] If i built a package from source like nginx, what can I do to avoid apt to ever bother on installing it and just pretend it is installed for other packages that depends on it? [07:02] !pin mattfly [07:02] !pin [07:02] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

I tried another camera today with the test zoom meeting. It also works with cheese and fails with zoom. [08:50] I am stuck & mystified. [08:50] 20.04 [09:23] anyone familiar with dconf? [09:25] tripelb, if it works with one app, and not another, it sounds like you should hit up the app support [09:25] !ask | Lope [09:25] Lope: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:27] I dumped my gnome-terminal profile like this: `dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ > pro` Then I edited the visible-name and the UUID slightly, then loaded it like this `cat pro | dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/` if I dump again, it's there, but doesn't show up in gnome-terminal preferences even after closing and re-opening gnome-terminal. [09:29] okay, this looks helpful: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/FAQ [09:30] Interestingly the profile that I created with dconf doesn't show up when I do `gsettings get org.gnome.Terminal.ProfilesList list` but it does when I do this: `dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/` lolz [09:43] hi - now that 20.04.2 is out shouldn't we have the updated xorg hwe packages available now ?

Anybody here who managed to put Chrome into dark mode? [10:17] choice: we dont really support chrome, try the ubuntu alternate chromium [10:17] lotuspsychje: I use Chromium [10:17] I just say "Chrome" because most of the time I say "Chromium" I get asked "What is Chromium" :) [10:19] What ever I do, this baby tells me my browser does not support dark mode: https://jsfiddle.net/greggman/kqst72vm/ [10:19] choice: as theme you can choose in settings, gtk or classic theme [10:19] lotuspsychje: The theme does not change the mode. Just the colors of the ui. [10:19] choice: try this; https://darkreader.org/ [10:20] i use it for FF works great [10:20] lotuspsychje: That is not dark mode. That changes the colors. I use something like that already. But I want dark mode. [10:20] So that websites that support dark mode use their darkmode colors. [10:23] choice: file a bug wishlist if you want if it doesnt do what its suppose to [10:49] Hi all! Is there any reason as to why non-privileged users can run "su -" ? /var/log/auth.log says that /etc/securetty is missing by default on 20.04 LTS, so I created a soft-link from /snap/core18/current/etc/securetty to /etc/securetty ... still users cannot become root via "su -" ... [10:49] thanks [10:50] SteelRose: I didn't even know you can do "su -" to become root. [10:50] I always use "sudo su". [10:50] I also found this link https://askubuntu.com/questions/1239503/ubuntu-20-04-and-20-10-etc-securetty-no-such-file-or-directory and others with similar proposals [10:51] choice: yes, you can... :-) it has been so on all UNIX and Linux systems... I'm still getting accustomed to Ubuntu though [10:51] SteelRose: Nice. [10:52] for "sudo su" to work, users must be added to the sudoers file... which is not always the case, hence being able to "su -" is important === jesspacito is now known as jess [10:54] you can always do a '# sudo -i' then passwd root so you can then su - to root [10:54] or just '# sudo passwd root' [10:56] yossarianuk: I already tried that :-) it does not work [10:57] yossarianuk: all systems are provisioned via Terraform and the root password is included in the process [10:58] it works 100% with CentOS VMs but Ubuntu is causing trouble [10:59] SteelRose: The supported way of getting root on Ubuntu since forever is via sudo [11:02] jpds: OK, I didn't know that - so I have to add some usergroups to sudoers - thanks! [11:03] bian [11:23] SteelRose: su - doesn't necessarily mean you're going to su to root [11:23] SteelRose: also root passwords are obsolete [11:27] Hey anyone here ? [11:30] bipin: plenty are here [11:31] I had Lubuntu 20.04 on my system with 1TB , then I decided to add SSD into my system , the SSD guy installed Ubuntu 20.10 on my system , I was able to boot into SSD for a few days , after few days I saw this message -/dev/sda2: clean , 346240/14622720 files , 3917823/50461104 blocks , and it freezes there ? [11:35] How Do I solve that ? [11:54] gordonjcp: it hasn't been the case yet. su has always defaulted to root in our case [11:54] anyone having gpu performance problems with kernel 5.8.0-41? [11:56] anyone would like to help ? [11:56] is there a way to check what ./configure flags were used for an ubuntu package? [11:56] is this for me ? [11:57] bipin: what do you mean "the SSD guy installed Ubuntu" ? [11:58] He installed Ubuntu on SSd [11:58] 20.10 [11:59] bipin: so you are using ubuntu 20.10 but you want to use Lubuntu 20.04 [12:00] I assume they didn't copy / migrate the Lubuntu, or failed to? [12:00] I have both Lubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 20.10 [12:01] what problem are you having? [12:01] Lubuntu 20.04 is on HDD and Ubuntu 20.10 is on SSD [12:01] I don't understand [12:01] ok, and what do you desire? [12:01] When I choose Ubuntu 20.10 , it shows this error : -/dev/sda2: clean , 346240/14622720 files , 3917823/50461104 blocks , and it freezes there ? [12:01] and I cannot continue to use it [12:01] it is not error [12:02] so the problem is that is freezes [12:02] yes [12:02] and this message does not clarify the reason [12:02] that's the only message I see [12:02] and it freezes there , [12:03] if you paid someone to do this upgrade, I would call them [12:03] and complain [12:03] bipin: do you want to keep both installs or just use one? [12:03] It was a friend of mine , who did this for me , he doesnt know how to solve this either [12:03] also, not sure why you would want both lubuntu and ubuntu on the same workstation. [12:03] either way I am fine [12:04] bipin: sounds like a recipe for disaster [12:04] bipin: i would backup all your files if you can boot into lubuntu and start fresh [12:04] if I don't get any errors Ubuntu 20.10 works ,then I just want that [12:05] like i said [12:05] backup everything, reinstall and format all the drives [12:05] Is there an alternative ? [12:06] make sure the SSD is plugged into the first port on the motherboard (im assuming this is a workstation) and hard drive is 2nd port. [12:06] dvd port 3, etc [12:06] bipin: im sure there is, but without looking at it, impossible to solve from here. [12:06] I don't know much details but I am on a laptop [12:08] bipin: have you ever installed ubuntu yourself? [12:09] No [12:09] bipin: non-LTS releases are only supported for 9 months, so unless you want to upgrade every 9 months you would be better off sticking to an LTS release [12:10] I had the similar error before I had an SSD , I don't remeber exactly how I solved it [12:11] bipin: do you want the OS on the SSD and just have the hdd mounted as storage space? [12:11] YES [12:11] bipin: then you'll need to backup what you want to keep and perform a fresh install on the SSD (as javi404 said) === akem is now known as akem1 [12:12] I don't know how to do that , can you show me a way/path on how to do that [12:12] a general idea ? [12:13] bipin: do you have an external hard drive to copy what you want to back up to? [12:13] I do have a PenDrive [12:13] bipin: then you need to know how much space your backup will take and whether the usb stick can hold that much [12:14] okay [12:14] bipin: first step is deciding what you want to backup [12:14] okay I will store all essential files into a penDrive that I need [12:15] bipin: and make sure you have a copy on another penDrive [12:15] okay [12:15] now what the hell can I do to solve my gpu performance issues? [12:15] meanwhile bipin probably haven't took a look at their /var/log/syslog [12:15] eqw: want to walk him through that? [12:15] him / her [12:16] javi404: i think that is as complicated as making a backup [12:16] eqw: sounds like bipin wants an LTS release on the SSD so no real point in troubleshooting that if they are just reinstalling over 12.10 that is already on there [12:16] eqw: what is? [12:17] yes, 12.10 wasn't a good idea [12:17] s/12.10/20.10/ [12:17] maybe thats the problem [12:17] sorry, yes, 20.10 [12:18] I think I will fresh install 20.04 on the SSD [12:18] looks like it isn't just me [12:18] https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/ksalzg/problems_with_amdgpu_drivers_in_ubuntu_20042/ [12:19] 20.04.2 is broken [12:19] can i revert to 20.04.1? [12:20] the difference is in the installation media only. A system that was installed using 20.04 or 20.04.1 is the same as a system which was installed using 20.04.2, it's just that package updates have been bundled into the updated media to save download time after installation [12:21] also downgrading packages isn't really supported [12:21] rory: my last update / upgrade broke my performance, I can't even use VS Code [12:22] unusable, also discord, unusable, had to disable hardware accel in google chrome [12:22] i have to join a zoom meeting in 2 hours [12:22] javi404: didn't they drop support for the card you were using? [12:22] im screwed [12:22] ThinkT510: drop support? [12:22] who? [12:23] javi404: amd [12:23] you didn't install ubuntu on ZFS? [12:23] i don't understand, so they removed code from the kernel? [12:23] it should allow you to just roll back to a previous snapshot [12:24] is there a good resource to know how to install fresh ubuntu on ssd ? [12:24] ThinkT510: makes no sense [12:24] javi404: weren't you in here the other day and asked about amd drivers and someone pointed out that a certin driver you were going to use didn't support your card [12:25] I was [12:25] but it is currently using the radeon driver in the kernel [12:27] i upgraded mesa this morning [12:27] OpenGL: renderer: AMD RS880 (DRM 2.50.0 / 5.8.0-41-generic LLVM 11.0.1) v: 3.3 Mesa 20.3.4 - kisak-mesa PPA [12:27] I think i need to try 5.8.0-40 [12:28] but not gonna gamble right now [12:28] !info mesa focal [12:28] Package mesa does not exist in focal [12:31] r@workstation:~$ sudo lsmod | grep radeon [12:31] radeon 1466368 24 [12:31] driver is loaded [12:36] Howdy folks [12:39] javi404: you are using a PPA for mesa. were you having the same issues with the ubuntu supplied mesa? === routebee_ is now known as routebee === mateen1 is now known as mateen [13:24] anyone know the process to get 64 but ubuntu 20.04 installed on my MacBook Pro 1,1 [13:24] right now I have 18.04 i386 installed and I guess it is EOL in 2023 ;( [13:25] Intel Core duo T2400 is oke, but the GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 ... no [13:25] it is a doorstopper [13:37] oerheks, strange this 'door stop' is a very usable desktop..... [13:38] that would be, if you could get it working.. [13:38] no, specs are too low, certaily for gnome .. lubuntu maybe? [13:38] oh yah, it' [13:38] s been running lubuntu 18.04 with xfce4 [13:39] why xubuntu then?

[13:52] I get some screen corruption in PHPstorm (while scrolling the Git log) and in Chrome (dragging windows to my second monitor, while on top of Chrome, leaves a window paint trail).. Could this be due to the Nvidia binaray driver? [13:52] binary* [13:58] I checked running processes to kill as many as possible before playing games. I came across one called agent. What is it and do I need it? [13:59] agent is such a generic name that I found millions of results on Google but not related to Ubuntu [14:09] nunya_, try 'Agent game' in google [14:17] I don't think you understood my question. I am killing unnecessary processes before opening a game because I don't have much RAM. I came across a process named agent. I want to know what it is. [14:19] sure that 'agent' gives a PID ? [14:20] nunya_, it could be anything, like a daemon or other processrs running in the background [14:20] ssh-agent, gpg-agent.. [14:20] processes === semeion is now known as mnemonic [14:22] I killed it already. Doesn't seem to have hurt anything. If it was ssh-agent, gpg-agent it should say so "agent" is so generic. [14:23] That's why I am asking this question. Pointless now since I took a chance and killed it any way. [14:27] one shouldn't kill processes unless you know what they do and are unecessary in your case. [14:31] Too late! [14:32] As long as I dont type: Format C:/ it should be repairable [14:35] Do processes always have same PID? I'll pay attention to it next time if that is the case. I'll Google PID as well. [14:39] I just tried to check out help in Xchat program I got a warning from Malwarebytes: "Website blocked: xchat.org [14:39] Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this website because it may contain malware activity." Does Xchat have a channel so I can report this? [14:40] ufw is not intended to provide complete firewall functionality via its command interface, but instead provides an easy way to add or remove simple rules. It is currently mainly used for host-based firewalls.” [14:41] is there a guide for how to do a good firewall (what to lock down and how and what has to be left open?) [14:41] !firewall [14:41] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [14:41] SirOsisOfThelive: see also #netfilter [14:42] ok, but all that assumes i know what to lock down. I need a guide to help me reguardless of which one i use [14:46] nunya_, xchat is EOL, depreciated, us a fork like hexchat [14:49] nuala: also, malwarebytes on ubuntu? [14:50] nuala: or more likely, why are you complaining about an EOL application you're running on Windows in an Ubuntu support channel? [14:52] Is xrdp safe to use for a server, or is there another / better option? [14:57] SirOsisOfThelive, remote desktop on a server? [15:13] hello friends [15:13] SirOsisOfThelive: use ssh [15:15] is there a way to install fm whatsapp on ubuntu? [15:18] hendaus: https://snapcraft.io/install/whatsapp-for-linux/ubuntu [15:30] *if* fm whatsapp gives a linux build... nope [15:36] Xchat is still quite available and works perfectly! I am familiar with how it works and don't want to have to track down all of xchat's files and configure yet another program (which for some reason is always a P.I.T.A. [15:37] nunya_, interesting. we suggest not to. [15:40] Why? I have version XChat 2.8.8 [15:41] why use a irc client that is no longer maintained. hexchat is just as good as xchat and it is still maintained [15:41] i told you, it is EOL, dead, vulnerable [15:41] !xchat [15:41] xchat and xchat-gnome are old IRC clients which are not actively maintained outside of Ubuntu/Debian. Some versions of Ubuntu do not include them. Please strongly consider using hexchat instead, which has good upstream support and is widely recommended by the IRC community over xchat and xchat-gnome. [15:44] Might want to pull the repository for it from Ubuntu altogether then. I came with my 20.04 installation. [15:44] how do i setup server without gui [15:44] no, we cannot, it is in 'universe'. [15:44] nunya_, and it does not come standard. [15:45] good luck, with all your arguments :-D [15:45] metbsd, ubuntu server comes without a gui, just tty [15:46] whatever just telling ypou my experience! Not trying to be a d*#k about it! [15:46] ubuntu-20.04.2-live-server-amd64 [15:46] i mean this [15:48] the live server is for maintenance purpose, ( mini and server had no live sesion) [15:48] where do i get mini ? [15:48] !mini [15:48] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:50] also give me server iso please, not live [15:51] !server [15:51] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

Was reluctant to leat xchat because I finally got it working after much cursing ang Googling how to do so. [15:54] leave [15:54] nunya_: hexchat is just a client, no need to re-register your nick [15:55] Good! [15:56] all isos are here https://torrent.ubuntu.com/tracker_index [15:56] oh, 20.04 is live only? [15:56] then it should work... [15:56] Any way to have xchat and hexchat running at the same time in case I need help configuring hexchat? [15:57] nunya_: you can run them both at the same time but obviously you'll be using different nicks [15:57] legacy? [15:57] server legacy [16:00] Mind helping setup hexchat to use nunya as my nick and join ubuntu channel? [16:02] nunya_: not sure what exactly you need to set up, you just install hexchat, launch it, then look at the settings and change them accordingly [16:02] I obviously don't know what I'm doing! [16:03] nunya_: to install: sudo apt-get install hexchat [16:03] What an interesting way to talk to someone after asking for help... [16:09] nunya_: welcome back [16:10] nunya_: how far have you got? [16:10] Can't get hexchat to do anything using xchat unless I can get help getting hexchat going [16:11] nunya_: what do you see when you launch hexchat? [16:11] Installed hexchat [16:12] list of servers, tried to join freenode [16:13] nunya_: /connect irc.freenode.org [16:15] Typee "nunya_: /connect irc.freenode.org" into hexchat? [16:16] nunya_: in the text box you need to type in just type that: /connect irc.freenode.org [16:17] Ok got welcome message [16:17] nunya_: now you can change your nick: /nick superawesomeperson [16:18] nunya_: it will tell you if the nick is already in use [16:19] nunya_: close both hexchat and xchat. Then run: rsync -av ~/.xchat2/ ~/.config/hexchat # then open hexchat. Most, if not all of your xchat settings should now be part of hexchat [16:19] Actually, it has told me You are now known as superawesomepers [16:20] nunya_: sorry, that should be: rsync -av ~/.xchat2/ ~/.config/hexchat/ [16:20] forgot the trailing slash at the end [16:20] Please bear with me. Please put in quotes exactly what to type. [16:20] rsync -av ~/.xchat2/ ~/.config/hexchat/ [16:22] Going to close xchat and hexchat and type "rsync -av ~/.xchat2/ ~/.config/hexchat/" into terminal [16:22] leave out the quotes, but yes [16:23] Thanks, hopefully will be letting you know it worked [16:23] !info rsync [16:23] rsync (source: rsync): fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool. In component main, is standard. Version 3.1.3-8 (focal), package size 314 kB, installed size 680 kB [16:24] neat, rsync is installed by default [16:25] does anybody have this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-440/+bug/1910496 [16:25] Launchpad bug 1910496 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 (Ubuntu) "nvidia-dkms-440 440.100-0ubuntu0.20.04.1: nvidia kernel module failed to build" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:26] apparently i'm getting it on 20.04 [16:26] both apt-get and aptitude refuses to upgrade me to nvidia-driver-460 for some reason [16:31] Didn't work. Wouldn't let me join #ubuntu [16:31] nunya_: why message did you get? [16:32] Have to close xchat, go back get the message, copy to text file, then tell you. [16:33] :/ [16:34] if the xchat settings take care of identifying the nick then your rsync command should have just gotten the same result with hexchat, right? [16:35] assuming xchat and hexchat settings are interchangable and compatible [16:36] 2 clients, both same port 6667.. [16:36] oerheks: they should have only opened hexchat, not xchat [16:36] i agree.. [16:36] oerheks: also, that's outbound. [16:36] and transfering xchat settings is of no use ... [16:37] it should have worked. That's how I saved mine back in the day [16:38] Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services - see https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration [16:38] This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify [16:38] nunya_: you do not need to close xchat2 in order to run hexchat. You can run both at the same time [16:38] all i needed to backup is the log stamp; %Y-%m-%d/%n-%c.log [16:38] !paste | nunya_ [16:38] nunya_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [16:38] nunya_: ok, that means you didn't login to nickserv. [16:39] nunya_: http://www.shadowera.com/showthread.php?27418-My-guide-to-setting-up-HexChat-for-IRC-and-registering-your-nick-name [16:39] nunya_: or https://slackalaxy.com/2016/10/19/hexchat-auto-login/ [16:39] I thought this nick was already registered [16:39] nunya_: it is, you didn't login to authenticate it [16:41] Ok what eactly do I need to do to open freenode and join ubuntu channel in hexchat? Sree what I mean? ROYAL PAIN! At least Xchat is working! [16:42] nunya_: the message you pasted tells you exactly what you need to do: /msg nickserv identify yourpasswordhere [16:42] nunya_: you read he documentation I gave you [16:43] or that [16:43] but the documentation I posted saves it in hexchat so you don't have to type it every time you open hexchat [16:43] I don't remember the password [16:43] nunya_: that is a problem then [16:43]
