=== bildramer1 is now known as bildramer [00:21] Using Ubuntu 18.04, I'd like to use iptables instead of ufw [00:22] Service or systemctl iptables restart, error service doesn't exist [00:22] ufw IS iptables. [00:22] So you removed iptables? ;) [00:23] I perfer not to use ufw, and stick to editing iptables directly via Nano or iptables -A command [00:25] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall [00:29] I'm trying to do post routing iptables [00:29] For openvpn [00:29] Is there a way to change the apt repo / mirror during install? I'm in Australia and deaults are very very slow -it's taken over 45 mins to get packages so far! [00:29] The default AU mirror for ISO download is slow as hell too. [00:30] The file exists /etc/iptables/rules.v4 [01:06] hey there! What is wrong with Ubuntu Software? I can't access the package information that is installed. [01:07] No wait! Now is good. [01:09] Just need to reboot the system after installation or the updated the system. [01:09] :) [01:09] !yay [01:09] Glad you made it! :-) [01:14] I add the melpa too. And install emacs-auto-complete and 2048-games. :-) [01:15] Is it just me, or does the release upgrade tool suck bigtime for servers? [01:15] I mean, the default should be to keep my config and continue working until it reboots and not ask stupid questions every 2 minutes [01:16] Leave it running, come back to a question. Wait... do something else, get asked another stupid question [01:16] err, no, release upgrade tool, i would stop the services. [01:17] so i won't get such questions [01:17] yeah, can't really stop SSH [01:17] I stand to the back of the elevator that doesn't have doors because I like to keep my arms and legs attached [01:17] davidsong: the release upgrade tool is not an unattended upgraded tool. It's not meant to be unattended and it's not meant to default it's way through the entire process [01:18] but regardless, it's a stupid, unsafe elevator design [01:18] so it's meant to be a bag of spanners? [01:18] davidsong: it's a tool to bring you through the upgrade process [01:18] I get that, it's just not a very good one [01:19] davidsong: either way, feel free to file bug reports if you find issues. Or download the source and develop your own tool that fits your personal needs [01:20] okay, thinking more productively... Is there a flag for dpkg that accepts the default action when doing installs? [01:20] davidsong: you can use debconf to pre-answer the questions [01:21] because "do-release-upgrade --get-on-with-it --and-reboot-when-done" would be an ideal default [01:21] that's part of the .deb files? [01:21] davidsong: https://serverfault.com/a/407358 # I don't know how/if this applies to do-release-upgrade. I don't think it does [01:22] oh cool thanks [01:23] do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive [01:23] awesome, thank you [01:24] it still can prompt for some foreign stuff, iirc [01:24] hmm, so documentation bug I guess. that should be in the manpage but isn't [01:25] Thanks for the help [01:25] have fun! [01:26] Sorry for the grumblings. I've been up and down out of the freezing cold attic, risking waking kids and neighbours up over and over again because ssh was down [01:27] until ssh was reconfigured, I had to stand up there answering questions about whether I'd like my server's various configs to be destroyed or not [01:27] waiting an eon between questions [01:29] The reason being because I was upgrading over ssh and had been waiting for it for hours, forgot about it, it got stuck on one of the questions (would you like me `shred` your finely tuned nginx config? [y/N]), then closed my laptop [01:30] If it had just done as it was told it'd probably have finished before I'd closed my laptop === medium_cool is now known as medium_cool[away [02:23] Hello!

[08:34] 82574L and I217-LM (rev 04) , eno1 is not working, enp3s0 (add-on PCI-E card) is working [08:35] I did a restart and it's the same. Previously I left it working on eno1 only and went to sleep. When it came back from standby, this. [08:35] I'll try to power cycle it, but I tries unloading and loading module e1000e and it didn't "catch" eno1. [08:35] tried [08:36] nikolam: can you mention your ubuntu release please [08:37] lotuspsychje, wow, 20.10 Linux xdesk 5.8.0-43-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 5 03:01:28 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux .. lsb_release -a : Description: Ubuntu 20.10 , Xubuntu 20.10 [08:37] * nikolam going to power cycle === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [08:46] nikolam: does your driver active on sudo lshw -C network? [08:49] lotuspsychje, even after power cycle it doesn't come up as eno1.. No, on sudo lshw -C network , it says this: https://pastebin.com/aASUB6MH [08:49] Maybe I could boot on some previous version before updates, since I have BTRFS and apt-btrfs-snapshot on / [08:50] nikolam: *-network UNCLAIMED means driver not loaded [08:50] nikolam: can you pastebin your dmesg please? [08:50] Or check hardware functioning in another OS on dual boot [08:52] yes lotuspsychje https://pastebin.com/3z1PKWdS [08:53] Maybe I should check booting previous state of system and another OS to check hardware working. [08:54] Also, last I remember is I disabled in GUI PCI-E interface LAN and woke up seeing it rebooting instead of waking up from standby and not seeing integrated LAN anymore, but workin gon PC-E one [08:56] * nikolam is rebooting to previous state of 20.10 and other os to check [08:57] lotuspsychje well im trying the 21.04 live version downloaded from https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ , I have no sounds, and when I wrote uname -r it gave me 5.8.0-36-generic . sudo upgrade would give me 5.10 but it requires restart, not really sure how it works on live ? [08:59] johnnyboy: oh right, might need physical install then, or on your current system test things with the !mainline kernels [09:29] johnnyboy: more luck ? [09:30] lotuspsychje sounds do not work with 5.10.0-14-generic , it just shows "dummy output" in sound settings too [09:30] hmmm pretty weird [09:30] johnnyboy: you also tryed that oem kernel version right? [09:31] i only tried the 5.8 that came with the install and this 5.10.0-14-generic that came after upgrading [09:34] johnnyboy: the bug you posted also mentioned 5.4 and an oem kernel [09:35] i dont understand why sounds work on kernel 5.6 but not 5.10 ? === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [09:37] johnnyboy: some brands might need the oem kernel for brand specific tweaks baked in to make everything work properly [09:39] It means that new and shiny is always good johnnyboy; looks doesn't matter anyway. [09:39] lotuspsychje, I thonk my eno1 is somehow hardware problem.. When in Other os and in Device manager I disable, then enable internal LAN, and reboot into Ubuntu 20.10 , LAn is online. When restarting again it is not. [09:39] It means that new and shiny isn't always good johnnyboy [09:40] In other os, again it is not working on fresh boot , needs disable/enable to work. Also previous Ubuntu before recent updates behaves the same. [09:41] In previous period I used ot use internal LAN exclusively with no fuss, but I witnessed recently eno1 link going down and up on itself. So could be indeed hardware issue. === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [10:55] the amount of inconsistency in linux desktop is staggering.

[10:58] !ot Squarism [10:58] #ubuntu-offtopic please [10:58] ok [11:17] hi, i am running xubuntu 20.10. i have the problem with thunderbird that it always opens firefox instead of chromium. i use chromium for daily stuff, firefox only for very rare dev tests. can someone please tell me how i can tell thunderbird to use chromium instead of firefox? its so annoying to always copy the link and paste it into chromium [11:22] tete_, if you have a URL in a terminal, and right-click on it and say "open URL" what happens? [11:22] summonner, firefox opens [11:22] interesting, i thought its only related to thunderbird [11:23] https://www.startpage.com - for testing purposes... [11:23] same, its firefox [11:23] so its a xubuntu thing ? [11:23] yes, it's your desktop's configuration [11:23] my default browser in default applications is chromium [11:24] this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-default-browser.html.en [11:24] in settings - default application [11:24] ah okay so you've done that? [11:24] i did not yet read your link but i checked the settings, yes - and i configured it some time ago [11:24] but i installed firefox after that configuration [11:24] the icon looks wierd tho in the settings - default applications - internet browser [11:25] xubuntu is not ubuntu, i guess it needs a different configuration. have you asked in #xubuntu? [11:25] thats special... i changed the chromium browser to /usr/bin/chromium-browser and now it opens the urls with chromium [11:26] even tho it stated "Chromium Browser" in the UI [11:26] seems like it used firefox as fallback or so [11:26] and it works in thunderbird now? [11:26] yes i just checked it [11:26] works now in xchat too [11:26] and in the terminal [11:27] wierd, thanks [11:27] no worries [11:27] #ubuntu-ru [11:33] ##ubuntu-ru [11:34] finish: it is: /join #ubuntu-ru [11:34] /join #ubuntu-ru [11:34] no " " before "/join #ubuntu-ru" [11:35] thx [11:51] Hi guys, I'm binding my service on a name but couldn't bind till I remove following line about ipv6 in /etc/hosts : [11:51] ::1 mongodb.test.local mongodb.test [12:02] is there a dedicated ubuntu arm channel? [12:03] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [12:03] #ubuntu-arm [12:03] ty [12:33] Hi everyone, is it possible to somehow download something to upgrade a system from 16.04 to 18.04 (and then to 20.04) so that the upgraded system doesn't have to have a (good) internet connection? Preferably I'd like to just copy some files somewhere and then execute a command. The download should happen from a windows machine preferably [12:35] PolitikerNEU: not for supporte dupgrade path, i think. that's because apt will need to resolve dependencies, and apt only runs on ubuntu, not windows. [12:37] in the past you could download the target release iso, mount it, set it up as an apt source and use that to upgrade, but i'm not sure that's still possible with the image based installers. [12:39] there's also apt-offline, but i'm not sure it can (or should) be used for release upgrades [12:39] it would also help if it'd reduce the required download by 90% or so. [12:40] can you discuss the use case more? maybe there are other, better, options? [12:42] ok, the use case is the following: I currently have an existing 16.04 installation of ubuntu, where the drivers for my usb wifi don't work, so I have to use a worse USB wifi which has extremely bad connection. As I hope that in newer distributions it might be supported, I want to upgrade. [12:43] can you use an ethernet connection? [12:43] do you have a usb-to-ethernet dongle you could attach? [12:43] do you have a smartphone and a usb connector to it, so you could tether through the smartphone? [12:44] well, not realistically for (a) and no for (b) [12:44] Smartphone with USB tethering, however, could be an option [12:44] PolitikerNEU: do you have the USB IDs for these wifi dongles? [12:46] The working, but bad one has 7392:7811 (Edimax EW-7811Un) [12:46] The other one I can only guess from being the "added" device in lsusb: 2357:0106 - but it doesn't even have a description [12:47] (it's a TP-Link Archer T9UH) [12:48] PolitikerNEU: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au should work for the TP Link, not sure if it will build on 16.04 [12:49] well, I will try it [12:50] PolitikerNEU: https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes might fix the 7811 [12:51] just for the upgrade, your smartphone is probably the easiest option, though [12:52] well, yeah, then I will try to go forward with that option [12:56] how would I use the usb tethering on ubuntu? [13:03] :) [13:05] PolitikerNEU: Just plug the phone into the computer using the USB cable, then go into the phones network options and find where to enable USB tethering [13:19] Hello world [13:19] this is ubuntu 16 [13:20] I need to debug grub in there (more of read the assembly and possibly get debug symbols [13:20] but I have no idea where to get the source code for the exact grub version .. let alone the debug symbols for the currently installed grub [13:21] how about this suggestion: skip debugging this grub version and upgrade to a release that'll still have support in two months instead. [13:22] I will not be able to do due to complexities [13:22] unless you have a farm of ubuntu systems and have an ubuntu advante contract providing you with ESM? [13:22] *advantage [13:23] lets just say that in our complex environment, we know that this ubuntu version work [13:23] I just need to know how to get grub symbols [13:23] and source code for the current ubuntu [13:24] oddcoder: 16.04 you mean, not 16 [13:25] !ddeb [13:25] !ddebs [13:25] Debugging symbol packages (ending in '-dbgsym') are available in a separate !APT repository at ddebs.ubuntu.com - more info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages [13:26] !source [13:26] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [13:28] Maik: yes [13:28] I cannot figure the package name for grub [13:28] apt list --installed *grub* [13:28] yes I looked there [13:29] there is grub-common/now, grub-gfxpayload-list/enial,now [13:29] and few other `now` packages which I a not sure what ate they [13:29] are* [13:31] "grub-common/now" suggests the package (version) you have installed is not one you could install from any apt repository you have configured at this time. this can point to unsupported third party packages. [13:31] but you'll need to provide more info to get better answers. [13:34] after running sudo apt update , running apt policy on any installed *grub* package, as well as apt policy output itself, would be a way to get started. [13:35] I see so no symbols [13:35] I thought that grub was not tamper with in my ubuntu version [13:35] alright thanks [13:49] Howdy folks [15:22] I installed mysql-server But when I tried to join it gives an Error 2002 (HY000), and when I start the service using "service mysql start" it says Failed to start mysql.service: Unit mysql.service not found. [15:23] Despite doig "apt install mysql-service" like all the tutorials say online, Ubuntu hasnt registered mysql as a service. what am i doin gwrong? [15:29] Happy Sunday, all [15:30] Does anyone know a channel that's dedicated to GNOME and its apps? [15:31] seanicus: services are now under systemd ; sudo systemctl start mysql [15:32] leftyfb: from what i could tell, the service command is a wrapper for systemctl. Regardless, when I run that command, I get the same exact error. [15:32] seanicus: then you didn't install mysql-server properly [15:32] seanicus: what version of ubuntu? [15:33] Linux sean-ubuntu 5.8.0-43-generic #49~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP [15:33] so i think that's 20.04.1 [15:33] seanicus: lsb_release -d [15:34] Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS [15:34] seanicus: apt-cache policy mysql-server # please use pastebin [15:35] https://pastebin.com/raw/GpLEhbGx [15:35] seanicus: try to reinstall it: sudo apt install mysql-server --reinstall [15:37] leftyfb: yeah, doesn't work, same error comes up. I've restalled mysql numerous times === jeddo- is now known as jeddo [15:47] Question about Builder: trying to use it for web development (apache and php) but I want to edit files in my /var/www/html/ dir. Builder, unfortunately can't find that folder like my other editors can. Any ideas? (Note: I installed it with Flatpak) [15:51] aebraham: what is Builder? [15:51] aebraham: also, we cannot support anything installed with Flatpack [15:56] seanicus: if you have no exisiting databases you need to keep, just purge all mysql* packages, then install mysql-server (not "mysql-service" as you wrote) [15:57] also, before (re-)installing, move /var/lib/mysql out of the way [15:57] leftyfb: Builder is a GNOME app for programming projects. Just curious, what's wrong with Flatpak? [15:57] tomreyn: I got disconnected. Could you repeat your first message? [15:57] aebraham: it's not a supported package manager here [15:58] aebraham: i wasn't addressing you there. [15:58] leftyfb: Gotcha [15:59] leftyfb: What about snap? [15:59] aebraham: that is supported. [16:01] aebraham: it may be a good idea to address the connectivity issue first before addressing other problems. [16:02] tomreyn: Sorry, my connection is real spotty right now. Will check in later [16:12] tomreyn: blech, wont even letme uninstall all my mysql packages. says "too many errors" [16:13] ill try this later. [16:15] seanicus: try include a pastebin of your apt errors, so volunteers can see whats going on exactly [16:23] lotuspsychje: sure, but i have to take off for the day. https://dpaste.org/icZh [16:28] i repasted this to paste.ubuntu.com, the pastebin we recommend here, which uses a monospaced font, which is what you want for examining terminal output and logs most of the time: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/25tpJzNhQj/ [16:30] i assume you didnt put a time limit on it...oh well. [16:30] "This paste expires on 2021-02-28." [16:30] i did dpaste because half of freenode insists on my using it. [16:30] Oh, nice. [16:36] this package (and, on a first glance, also the system it is installed on) is in a rather bad state. try operating on it directly with dpkg, not apt commands, instead. [16:36] I believe that'd also be monospace though if you chose "Plain Code" rather than "Plain Text" [16:45] the /var/lib/mysql directory contains aria_log.* files, which are usually created when using the 'araia' mysql storage engine. which the mysql server community edition you have installed does not provide support for. [16:45] also, before (re-)installing, move /var/lib/mysql out of the way [16:46] oh you did, sorry. === BromaxSux1 is now known as BromaxSux [17:01] my cursor is way too fast, meaning if I delete text on any application, I erase too much too fast. Can I slow it down? [17:15] the package manaplus is broken: Segmentation Fault (in Groovy).

[18:38] bl: can you pastebin the errors? [18:38] for example: [18:38] (hexchat:9431): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 13:14:09.128: IA__gdk_window_get_events: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed [18:38] is it alright to share them here? === medium_cool is now known as medium_cool[away [18:42] bl: use the pastebin, see /topic [18:42] it's super odd...i have them copy and pasted into gedit (which, i also opened gedit from a terminal, and there are errors in that terminal as well) i was able to copy and paste that first one but when i back to try to copy the second i've lost control via the mouse again [18:42] also post journalctl -bk [18:43] and tell us about how you upgraded, and whether the upgrade went well [18:44] these errors, btw, show up when i click the mouse inside one of these windows...so like right now when i click inside the gedit window the sequence of errors show up in the hexchat terminal [18:44] i upgraded from the ubuntu prompt to upgrade, like after checking for updates it prompts you to upgrade [18:45] i think the upgrade went well...video drivers weren't there so and i eventually figured that out...had to install the kernel source and headers then install from the ppa [18:46] sound also wasn't working but that was pretty quickly resolved by installing a package i can't remember the name of [18:46] bl: if you use alt+tab to go to hexchat, the mouse works properly? [18:50] EriC alt+tab will change to the window but it will not really allow me to regain control via the mouse [18:50] (hexchat:9431): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 13:14:09.129: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed [18:51] so for example i was able to alt+tab to get focus back to that gedit window and then navigate via the keyboard to copy that error i just shared [18:51] how did you install video drivers, and which video hardware do you have there? === medium_cool is now known as medium_cool[away [18:54] i can actually change focus between windows via the mouse by hovering the mouse over a window (i can't remember but i think that wasn't working a moment ago), but i still cannot interact with the windows === medium_cool[away is now known as medium_cool === medium_cool is now known as medium_cool[away [18:55] medium_cool[away: please don't change your nickname to indicate /away status while on this channel. [18:55] tomreyn i installed video drivers with the following commands: [18:55] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic [18:55] sudo apt-get install linux-source [18:55] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [18:55] sudo apt update [18:56] sudo apt upgrade -y [18:56] !paste | bl [18:56] bl: 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. [18:56] sudo ubuntu-drivers devices [18:56] sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 [18:56] bl: please use pastebin [19:06] tomreyn | medium_cool[away: please don't change your nickname to indicate /away status while on this channel. ... [19:06] Why? [19:07] Hash, just unpleasing, a lot do give up on (and status you can give without changing username) [19:07] So, figure out your own issues. [19:08] Don't police people because YOU find something unpleasing for YOUR eyes. [19:08] Most people either set /away or /nick to nickname_ (tail) or [away] or some other indication. [19:08] The fact that a person even thinks he can try to control another in this manner is disgusing and abhorrent. [19:09] Very much against the spirit of 'freedom' and 'humanity'... [19:09] Or... Ubuntu as you like to call it. [19:10] bl: can you pastebin the result of 'cat /var/log/syslog | nc termbin.com 9999' [19:11] EriC i should be able to do that...one thing i've noticed is right now no matter where i click the sequence of errors show up in the terminal running hexchat [19:11] i just got pastebinit installed [19:13] bl: you can always apt-get install netcat (nc). Then just `command here (ls / or cat something) | nc termbin.com 9999 [19:13] bl: you can pipe things to termbin.com on port 9999 using netcat for pasting of all kinds of results. [19:14] cat /proc/cpuinfo | nc termbin.com 9999 [19:14] For example [19:14] https://termbin.com/5zqj [19:14] I hope that helps. === denningsrogue5 is now known as denningsrogue [19:14] Hash, thanks let me try that [19:14] :) [19:15] also i think someone asked me about hardware a bit ago [19:15] geforce gtx 550 ti [19:15] You can also pipe hwinfo or lspci/lsusb etc. etc. output as well to share. [19:15] Hash: if you have questions regarding the Ubuntu IRC Guidelines (link in /topic), feel free to ask in #ubuntu-ops [19:16] tomreyn: I like transparency. I don't like discussions behind closed doors. [19:16] tomreyn: better in #ubuntu-irc [19:16] tomreyn: if that's nothing you can entertain here, np. I don't have to discuss it. Just know... if you ever say anything as silly as that to me, I'll simply ignore you. [19:17] Hash i followed that link...AMD Ryzen 7 5800X i'm jealous [19:17] Hash: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [19:17] it's like HexChat has taken control of the mouse [19:17] Hash: i noted your opinion, now let's focus on the topic. [19:18] Carry on. [19:19] bl: 64gb RAM as well. Still an old GPU. GTX 275. [19:19] Market is short/tight [19:20] https://termbin.com/06hw [19:20] i want to upgrade this year, though probably will go with the 5600X [19:21] I got greedy. I don't need or even use all this computing power. [19:21] My eyes were bigger than my stomache. [19:21] also i don't know what happened but i was just able to copy and paste that termbin.com link i shared (06hw) a moment ago [19:21] haha :) [19:21] Makes it easy [19:22] If you find yourwork working in tty, not X, then apt install gpm [19:22] General Purpose Mouse [19:22] You can copy/paste in terminal/tty without X and use mouse. [19:25] (interestingly right now i can highlight to copy from a terminal but focus no longer follows the mouse) [19:25] i'll take a look at gpm [19:25] I have no idea about untu or anything. [19:25] I don't use Ubuntu. [19:26] bl: if you've got pastebinit already installed, that's easier to use than termbin. cat /proc/cpunfo | pastebinit [19:26] Hash: then why are you here? [19:26] I use the underlying distribution for packages only. I use Xmond, urxvt, chromium browser, and virtualbox. [19:26] So, whatever some Unity or whatever WM/DE Ubuntu uses, I've no idea. [19:27] Hash: the ubuntu default nowadays is a customised gnome3 [19:27] its using gnome again [19:27] so gdm [19:27] i would assume would be default [19:28] I use a Kubuntu base ISO, and I use KDEWM=xmonad in my ~/.xsessionrc [19:28] I like Qt more than GTK personally. But that's neither here nor there. [19:28] make sure your xsession isn't borked [19:28] Kubuntu comes with sddm [19:29] I've had the same setup on desktop and laptop for over 12 years now. [19:29] I don't expect it to break magically. [19:29] https://termbin.com/s39d <- these are the sequence of errors that keep showing up in the terminal that hexchat is running from [19:29] sometimes using a customize thing ontop of a more standard thing causes unforseen issues [19:29] In fact, I've not even changed my background wallpaper. Same image for 12 years. [19:29] Hash: please stay on topic [19:30] bl: those errors can be negleceted in full. [19:30] Hash, #ubuntu-offtopic for that [19:30] ive had issues trying to use i3 with gnome so checking things might not be a bad idea no matter how long it has worked [19:31] bl: in the code, it is only making certain assertions which failed. Unsure why it asserts something unless in test case. [19:31] I've never seen GDK assertion errors before out side of unit testing. [19:31] But this happens to me too when I use Hexchat. These errors can be ignored. [19:32] Hash oh you see those errors when you start hexchat from a terminal? [19:32] Correct [19:32] ah [19:32] ok [19:32] As well on an Firefox [19:32] And few other GTK applications. [19:33] i just think it's odd that those errors will show up regadless of where i click [19:33] so i can click on a browser window and nothing will happened except those errors will show up in the hexchat window [19:33] You could report them to #hexchat or their github issues section [19:33] They don't show up in the Hexchat window. [19:34] They show up in the terminal window where hexchat was launched from cli. This gives program output on stdout [19:35] The same errors are there when you launch Hexchat from application menu [19:35] Hi all! I am not able to change screen brightness on my laptop (amd ryzen 5). It used to work when I used windows. Can anyone please help to point out the reason? [19:35] It's just... they don't get dispalyed anywhere. The go into oblivion. [19:35]
