| erik-k | Hello... I am experiencing an "epidemic" in new Ubuntu-20.04 installs which inexplicably fail to renew their dhcp leases. I can find some references to old bug reports which are allegedly long fixed [ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1551351 e.g. ]. | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1551351 in isc-dhcp (Ubuntu Xenial) "dhclient does not renew leases" [High,Fix released] | 01:00 |
| erik-k | What I know: The dhcpd never gets a renewal request. The only clue I have is in the client logs, | 01:02 |
| erik-k | Feb 22 16:23:02 echs NetworkManager[856]: <error> [1614039782.6553] dhcp4 (enp61s0): error -113 dispatching events | 01:02 |
| sarnold | EHOSTUNREACH 113 No route to host | 01:03 |
| sarnold | I can't promise it's related but it seems likely | 01:03 |
| erik-k | Um... is there some other dhclient or equivalent service I'm supposed to be running that's somehow not being started? | 01:09 |
| erik-k | No route doesn't make sense... I mean, dhcp is a level 2 protocol, you can't require IP in order to stand up your IP interface after all. | 01:11 |
| sarnold | but the dhcp renewal will happen via usual tcp; normally systemd-networkd or networkmanager manages the dhcp client entirely for you | 01:23 |

| FaTaL_gg | I have an ubuntu 20.04 install that is working well for the most part, but I have an issue where once a month it locks up, I have to reboot it, and boot partition has errors and lost chains etc, its an ssd, no other issues ever occur on any other partition. What can I do to troubleshoot what is causing the lockups and errors on boot.... shouldn't boot be stable since its not being written to? | 02:34 |
| sarnold | FaTaL_gg: wild guesses: (a) try memtest86 or memtest86+ to look for memory errors (b) perhaps you've got flaky / poor / insufficient power, how much power supply do you have and how much power draw do you expect? (c) perhaps you've got flaky cables / connectors between the mobo and drive? | 02:36 |
| sarnold | once in a while updates will kill the desktop, afaik no one's sorted that one out, and if you wind up yanking the power to deal with it, you might just have fileysstem problems too | 02:37 |
| FaTaL_gg | sarnold; any one of those things could matter so i'll check. It's all high end equipment, in a cool room, but sure! However, why is it only hosing /dev/sda1 (aka boot)? I would expect files in /home /var and elsewhere to get trashed | 02:38 |
| sarnold | hmm, no ideas there :/ | 02:39 |
| sarnold | how's smartctl look? | 02:39 |
| FaTaL_gg | no errors logged | 02:43 |
| sarnold | well, that's good, I guess :) | 02:44 |
| FaTaL_gg | hahah indeed | 02:45 |
| FaTaL_gg | ran a short test, same, no errors. I will do an extended one too. I would love to solve this, its such an annoyance | 02:47 |
| leftyfb | FaTaL_gg: I would also look into possible filesystem corruption and/or bad drive (no matter how new) | 02:48 |
| === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin | ||
| FaTaL_gg | Unexpect_Power_Loss_Ct = 110 .... is this since life of power up? what determines unexpected power loss? It's an SSD, there are no bad blocks or other odd errrors. running at 22/31c min/max | 02:50 |
| sarnold | interesting, I've got two drives that report inexpected power loss events as well -- currently both say 21, which feels much higher than I would expect | 02:57 |
| FaTaL_gg | right? | 02:58 |
| FaTaL_gg | but not sure what triggers unexpected... that could be us hard resetting, real power loss, or a power loss during any read or write? | 02:59 |
| sarnold | I'm not sure 21 is enough to be described by reboots, but *maybe*.. | 03:03 |
| FaTaL_gg | for mine that is 3 a month as an average, and that could be true in the early 2 years, but ever since I went to 20.04 I've not been rebooting much | 03:08 |

| JustLandedOnMars | hi | 03:36 |
| JustLandedOnMars | they say that specs for sata HDD supports hotplug | 03:37 |
| JustLandedOnMars | but it also has to be supported by OS | 03:37 |
| JustLandedOnMars | is ubuntu supports sata HDD hotplug ? | 03:37 |
| sarnold | it really should but I haven't been brave enough to yank any of mine yet. (I've also not had a need, yet, they've kept running fine, so no need to replace any) | 03:38 |
| Hash | So what's the properly way to do automatic startup scripts when system reboots | 04:02 |
| Hash | Like, icecast2 starts fine as a service I think. But ezstream is a client program which I run as a user after logging in to stream out stuff. (on the same vps) | 04:03 |
| sarnold | best is to write systemd service files for the service, those are most flexible and easiest to enable / disable, etc | 04:03 |
| Hash | So, how can I make my ezstream bash script autolaod after system reboot | 04:03 |
| Hash | hmm I see | 04:03 |
| sarnold | there's also systemd user unit files; that's less popular for user-controlled things but should work | 04:05 |

| blaher34512 | hello I can't suddenly can't login to linux. After the splashscreen I get a black screen with a white cursor. When I try ctrl alt f1 it briefly flashes the terminal login prompt | 06:09 |
| rory | blaher34512, if you reboot and hold Shift while the computer is booting, you will get to the Ubuntu boot menu (GRUB) from there you can choose an older kernel version to boot from that should work | 06:13 |
| rory | blaher34512, boot from that older version, run "apt update" and "apt upgrade" and reboot again back into the latest version, check if problem persists | 06:14 |
| blaher34512 | tried loading a different kernel version it didn't work. Tried bootrepair and fsck and it didn't fix it | 06:15 |
| blaher34512 | I can access the files through live usb so I was wondering if there was anything I could try out | 06:16 |
| blaher34512 | windows and usb loads fine though | 06:16 |
| rory | what Ubuntu version blaher34512 ? | 06:19 |
| rory | e.g. 20.04 | 06:19 |
| blaher34512 | Ubuntu 18.04 LM 19.1 | 06:20 |
| oerheks | LM.. oh dear, mint | 06:25 |
| oerheks | find the mint channel ? we do not support forks .. | 06:25 |
| blaher34512 | the lm people said they don't know I was just looking for some generic suggestions because I don't think it is an lm specific problem | 06:26 |
| rory | blaher34512, it's Linux Mint and unsupported here, but LM uses LightDM as well so these steps should still work https://askubuntu.com/a/554404/62969 | 06:53 |
| rory | blaher34512, but I didn't tell you that because once someone admits to not using ubuntu we're supposed to send them away | 06:53 |
| rory | > Before performing above steps, make sure you have an active internet connection. -< this is not optional | 06:54 |
| rory | blaher34512, tell LM support channel you are planning to follow the steps in that link. | 06:55 |

| guiverc | blaher34512, Ubuntu and flavors of Ubuntu are run-time adjustment free.. Mint uses runtime adjustments so they can use foreign (ubuntu) packages thus anything video related esp. is different; so you should be asking where adjustments are known & catered for | 07:21 |
| Metamorphosis | hello, a new version of the opensource game 0AD has been released. I was wondering if it will be updated in Ubuntu 20.04? Or I should use unofficial repos to install it? | 08:21 |

| oerheks | 024b ? | 08:54 |
| oerheks | Metamorphosis, ^^ | 08:54 |
| rory | 0 A.D. (pronounced “zero-ey-dee”) -> well that just ADDS confusion | 08:54 |
| adam4567 | So, apt list --upgradeable lists 10 or 12 packages, amongst which is | 09:01 |
| adam4567 | dirmngr/bionic-updates 2.2.4-1ubuntu1.4 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.2.4-1ubuntu1.3] | 09:01 |
| adam4567 | 09:01 | |
| adam4567 | Should I sudo apt upgrade, and then, sudo apt dist-upgrade ? | 09:01 |
| oerheks | no, use dist-upgrade directly | 09:02 |
| oerheks | ( that is wat i always run, to avoid packages held back) | 09:02 |
| adam4567 | I'm worried it'll upgrade 18.04 to 20 something, and break everything | 09:02 |
| oerheks | no, that would be release-upgrade tool, no worries | 09:03 |
| oerheks | !distupgrade | 09:03 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 09:03 |
| adam4567 | OK. I'll give it a go. Thought I'd target just the dirmngr | 09:03 |
| rory | It's pretty obvious when it wants to do a version upgrade, you'd see hundreds of packages | 09:03 |
| oerheks | also, the -d option is handy in such occasion, -d = dry run | 09:04 |
| adam4567 | it seems to be most gpg stuff. But its a better File Manager I'm interested in. | 09:04 |
| adam4567 | OK. Thank. -d sounds good. | 09:05 |
| adam4567 | Worked perfectly. Thank you very much :) | 09:08 |

| seanh | Anyone got any tips on what I can do if my computer freezes during boot? | 11:08 |
| seanh | Ubuntu 20.04 is just freezing on the screen with the Ubuntu logo and spinner | 11:08 |
| seanh | The spinner is frozen too | 11:08 |
| seanh | Pressing Esc (to get to the logs) doesn't do anything, nor does Ctrl+Alt+Del | 11:08 |
| seanh | This used to happen occasionally but if I powered it off and tried again, it'd boot successfully after a few tries | 11:09 |
| seanh | Lately though it's freezing on every single boot | 11:09 |
| ThinkT510 | tried booting an earlier kernel? | 11:09 |
| seanh | ThinkT510: No, good idea, I'm gonna try that... | 11:15 |
| seanh | 5.8.0-43-generic is the most recent kernel (the one that's freezing on every boot) in my grub | 11:21 |
| seanh | The previous one is 5.8.0-41, I'll try that | 11:21 |
| Jeppe | Hi, when attempting to turn off my Intel Nuc, some times it gets stuck and I'm seeing a bunch of null-characters in my syslog. Can anyone be of assistance? | 11:23 |
| seanh | So 5.8.0-41 isn't frozen in quite the same way -- the spinner is still spinning. But it's spinning forever. If I press Esc it does go to the logs, and I can see that it seems to be stuck at "(n of 3) A start job is running for..." | 11:24 |
| seanh | Screenshot: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZfEaLwQeHztVjNfe9 | 11:26 |
| seanh | If I do Ctrl+Alt+Del it seems to try to reboot (a whole bunch of log messages get printed) but then the reboot seems to get stuck on "(n of 6) A start/stop job is running for..." | 11:28 |
| ThinkT510 | can you see what it is stuck on? what comes after the "for..."? | 11:30 |
| ThinkT510 | Jeppe: how are you turning off the nic? | 11:32 |
| seanh | I tried booting 5.8.0-41 three times. Got the above behavior twice. The third time was slightly different: it seemed to try to run a filesystem check and *that* got stuck. And pressing Esc shows this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LyFUtrkbrWTKNfTZ8 | 11:33 |
| ThinkT510 | seanh: how old is the drive you are booting from? | 11:35 |
| seanh | ThinkT510: That "A start job is running for..." log message cycles through three different start jobs that're seemingly running forever. The last time I tried it was Network Name Resolution, Network Time Synchronization, and Load AppArmor profiles. But I'm not sure that it's the same ones that get stuck each time I try to boot | 11:35 |
| seanh | ThinkT510: It's an SSD, maybe three or four years old | 11:35 |
| seanh | ThinkT510: I ran SMART on the drive yesterday (when I could still boot) and it reported no errors | 11:36 |
| seanh | Just tried booting 5.8.0-41 again, it's trying to check the disk again. Says "Checking disks: 0% complete" and is stuck there. This time it's completely frozen: pressing Esc doesn't do anything. (Last time it got stuck on checking disks but I could press Esc to get to the logs) | 11:38 |
| ThinkT510 | Jeppe: best to keep it in channel please, more people can see and help | 11:38 |
| seanh | Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing this time. It's completely frozen | 11:38 |
| ThinkT510 | seanh: when's the last time you checked the ram? | 11:39 |
| seanh | Some times when I boot it up my USB keyboard isn't working when I get to the GRUB menu. Unplugging and re-plugging the keyboard fixes it. (Could be unrelated) | 11:40 |
| seanh | ThinkT510: I ran memtest overnight last night, no errors | 11:40 |
| seanh | I'm gonna try the next older kernel in my grub: 5.4.0-39 | 11:41 |
| seanh | Ok, 5.4.0-39 just booted successfully. Coincidence? I'm gonna try rebooting into 5.4.0-39 repeatedly, try to see if it's reliable | 11:42 |
| ThinkT510 | seanh: if 5.4 boots fine then you might want to pin it before you get more kernel updates | 11:42 |
| seanh | Yeah | 11:42 |
| seanh | Let me give it a few tries and see if it seems to boot into 5.4 reliably | 11:43 |
| ThinkT510 | I think by default ubuntu keeps the 3 most recent kernels and removes any older ones | 11:43 |
| seanh | Yeah so I could end up with no working kernels left if they all get removed, thanks for the tip | 11:44 |
| ThinkT510 | ifyou don't want to pin a 5.4 you could always just remove the oldest 5.8 before doing any kernel updates | 11:45 |
| seanh | If I end up at the grub command line, is there a way to get back to the list-of-kernels grub menu? | 11:46 |
| kushal | I am trying to enable systemd-timesyncd on Ubuntu Focal, but after every reboot, the service is still staying dead. Any tips what can be wrong? If I start the service manually, it just works. | 11:48 |
| ThinkT510 | if you are at the grub rescue prompt I think you'll need to tell it to reboot. not sure if you can get back to the menu any other way | 11:48 |
| seanh | ThinkT510: Thanks for your suggestion. I just booted the 5.4.0-39 kernel ten times in a row and it worked every time (I wanted to test thoroughly because this computer has been occasionally freezing on boot for a while, it was only this morning that it started freezing on boot every time). So I think your suggestion to use an older kernel has fixed my boot problem | 11:54 |
| seanh | I guess it's always worth trying *all* the old kernels that you have. For me 5.8.0-43 and 5.8.0-41 both had the same problem, but 5.4.0-59 worked | 11:55 |
| seanh | Ok, now I need to figure out how to pin to the 5.4 kernel | 11:55 |
| ThinkT510 | seanh: 5.4 will remain supported throughout 20.04 lifetime so you should be good to stick with it | 11:56 |
| ThinkT510 | !pinning | seanh | 11:56 |
| ubottu | seanh: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 11:56 |
| seanh | ThinkT510: That is very good to hear | 11:56 |
| ThinkT510 | the lts releases should have several kernel choice due to hwe. the basic idea is to enable newer hardware support and more up to date drivers. I think a new hwe kernel gets released for an lts after each regular ubuntu release. not sure which one 21.04 uses (maybe 5.10?) | 12:00 |
| ThinkT510 | !hwe | 12:00 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 12:00 |
| seanh | I'm not sure how to change my Ubuntu to boot from 5.4 by default and pin/hold it there, from a reading of the PinningHowto. I need a friendlier guide. I'll try googling it. | 12:03 |
| seanh | https://askubuntu.com/questions/999529/pin-kernel-version <- Says I should run `sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-5.4... linux-headers-5.4...` | 12:04 |
| seanh | For the kernels there seems to be a different package for each kernel version. | 12:08 |
| seanh | `linux-image-5.8.0-41-generic`, `linux-image-5.8.0-43-generic`, etc | 12:08 |
| seanh | So it seems I don't want to pin a particular package to a particular version, since each version of linux seems to have its own package | 12:09 |
| seanh | Instead I want to tell it to keep the 5.4 kernel package(s) (don't uninstall them) and also don't install any newer kernel packages | 12:10 |

| seanh | ThinkT510: So I just need to force/pin the version of `linux-image-generic` and that should handle it all? | 12:13 |
| seanh | I actually don't have `linux-image-generic` installed, I have `linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04` | 12:13 |

| ThinkT510 | hmm, that appears to point to 5.8 | 12:15 |
| seanh | Yeah, I don't know how to do this: pin to an old kernel. I'll keep trying to google it... | 12:15 |
| seanh | Based on this https://askubuntu.com/questions/999529/pin-kernel-version I think I could run `sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-4.13.0-26-generic linux-headers-4.13.0-26-generic` (replacing the version numbers with the ones that I want). And I think I could also boot from the 5.4 kernel and then remove all the 5.8 kernel packages to get rid of them | 12:17 |

| Jeppe | Tried disabling, and it still occurs. When it "succeeds", it shows that there is an error with the pastebin-software. | 13:29 |
| Jeppe | Oh, it failed when expiry set to "A week", but succeeded now. | 13:29 |
| === Mr_Pan is now known as andrea7 | ||
| Jeppe | So I'm seeing this "crash" with null-characters in /var/log/syslog in like <1% of shutdowns. | 13:31 |
| Jeppe | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZfDsThJKWd/ | 13:31 |
| Jeppe | On the next boot, it also reports: "0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt." | 13:31 |
| === andrea7 is now known as Mr_Pan | ||
| jil | thank you oerheks | 13:34 |
| Jeppe | (I realize now that the null-characters are not present in the paste, but they occur just before "Feb 22 17:02:07 jeppe systemd-modules-load[244]: Inserted module 'lp'") | 13:35 |
| TJ- | Jeppe: do those NULLs appear as runs of ^@^@^@^@^@ when viewing logs | 14:19 |
| Jeppe | Yes, exactly. | 14:20 |
| Jeppe | TJ-: The NULLs and "0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt." suggests something crashed, right? Do you know where I should look for information about that? | 14:25 |
| TJ- | Jeppe: well, obvious place would be end of the previous boot log "journalctl -b -1 -n 100" for last 100 lines of last boot (-1) | 14:26 |
| TJ- | Jeppe: sounds like the file-system isn't being unmounted for some reason | 14:26 |
| Jeppe | TJ-: It shows "Power key pressed." and then the "fatal IO error 11 (...) on X server" and a few daemons shutting down. Could it be the X-server? | 14:32 |

| Jeppe | I found another syslog that shows the NULLs and dirty-bit, but without the fatal X-server error. This one shows e.g. "Failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.resolve1.NoSuchLink: Link 4 not known" instead. | 14:40 |
| xheimlich | this is going to sound comically vague. When I set up this computer a while ago I did ~something~ (I don't think it was a simple symlink) to set up emacs so it always ran on the terminal. | 14:51 |
| xheimlich | What was it? Is there an apt package that only brings emacs-nox? | 14:52 |
| oerheks | !info emacs-snapshot-nox | 14:56 |
| ubottu | Package emacs-snapshot-nox does not exist in focal | 14:56 |
| xheimlich | anyway, what I need is to get GUI emacs now. | 14:57 |
| xheimlich | all autocompletions for "emacs" seem to run the terminal version | 14:58 |
| oerheks | there is a snap https://snapcraft.io/install/emacs/ubuntu | 14:58 |
| xheimlich | Sublime Text has been way too crashy lately, and mysteriously so. It just disappears. Granted, while memory intensive ML stuff runs. | 15:00 |

| lordcirth_ | I'm trying to use virt-manager on a KVM libvirt host that I can only connect to via a jump host. using ssh -YJ and running virt-manager on the remote is cripplingly slow. I can't figure out how to run virt-manager locally and jump it's connection through 2 hops. Any ideas? | 15:47 |
| leftyfb | lordcirth_: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/chap-Virtualization-Remote_management_of_virtualized_guests.html | 15:48 |
| lordcirth_ | leftyfb, I'm not seeing anything there about ProxyJump or forwarding? | 15:49 |
| leftyfb | lordcirth_: read the entire article | 15:49 |
| lordcirth_ | All of chapter 21? I did | 15:50 |
| leftyfb | lordcirth_: what does the very last line say? | 15:52 |
| lordcirth_ | "Input values for the hypervisor type, the connection, Connection->Remote tunnel over SSH, and enter the desired hostname, then click connection." ? | 15:53 |
| leftyfb | lordcirth_: also, I just installed virt-manager on a fresh install of 20.04, opened virt-manager, clicked File -> Add Connection and I saw the answer right there | 15:53 |
| lordcirth_ | leftyfb, I feel like you didn't read my question | 15:53 |
| leftyfb | lordcirth_: you want to manage your VM's remotely over SSH | 15:54 |
| lordcirth_ | I know how to connect to a remote host in virt-manager. That's trivial. I need to figure out how to manage libvirt by connecting *through a ProxyJump host* | 15:54 |
| leftyfb | lordcirth_: ok, so setup a ProxyJump profile in your ~/.ssh/config and specify the end box (not the jump host) in your virt-manager settings | 15:55 |
| lordcirth_ | Ok, thanks, I will try that | 15:55 |

| txtsd | Hello. Is there a detailed guide to installing a kernel with the ck patchset on Ubuntu? | 17:11 |
| leftyfb | txtsd: I googled for "ubuntu kernel ck patch" and came across https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/4fg8on/linuxck_equivalent_on_ubuntu/ good luck. This is completely unsupported | 17:19 |
| lordcirth_ | txtsd, why do you want ck? | 17:33 |
| txtsd | my laptop keeps intermittently freezing so I was hoping to try a performance oriented kernel. I use the -ck kernel on my desktop which runs Arch. | 17:49 |
| txtsd | I haven't been able to find any source of the intermittent freezes. Happens freshly after boot with no CPU usage, and minimal RAM usage, and barely any disk activity. | 17:50 |
| txtsd | It's running 20.04 | 17:50 |
| lordcirth_ | txtsd, there are probably less extreme solutions than linux-ck. Any errors in dmesg? | 17:51 |
| txtsd | Nothing unusual | 17:51 |
| lordcirth_ | txtsd, install rasdaemon, see if that catches some hardware errors. What graphics card and driver? | 17:52 |
| txtsd | What else could I check/try? I mainly use it to pull up youtube, and play minecraft on the go. | 17:52 |
| txtsd | It has some radeon graphics. It uses amdgpu. | 17:52 |
| txtsd | Also, these freezes weren't present when I first installed Ubuntu on it a couple of months ago. | 17:53 |
| txtsd | They started recently, presumably, after an unsupervised upgrade. | 17:53 |
| lordcirth_ | txtsd, and if you reboot back to an older kernel? | 17:56 |
| === CodeMouse92__ is now known as CodeMouse92 | ||
| txtsd | I'll have to try that. An LTS should be fine? | 17:57 |
| lordcirth_ | any kernel that worked before | 17:57 |
| txtsd | Wait no that's Arch. How do I go back to an older kernel? | 17:57 |
| lordcirth_ | txtsd, in the grub menu, there are past kernels listed | 17:58 |
| txtsd | Alright, I'll try older kernels and report back. And also rasdaemon, but tomorrow. It's pretty late for me atm. | 17:59 |
| txtsd | Thanks for your input! | 17:59 |
| leftyfb | txtsd: btw, there are no "unsupervised upgrades" by default in ubuntu | 18:02 |

| rdr | it's not installed by default so I don't know | 18:57 |
| lightboi | when i diff directories | 18:57 |
| lightboi | it worked so nice on bionic soo..? | 18:57 |
| rdr | I don't know, what's the difference between diff and kdiff3 | 18:58 |
| lightboi | umm kdiff3 offers much better gui for merging... so usefule | 18:58 |
| rdr | oh i don't use kde stuff, sorry | 18:59 |
| lightboi | hehe | 18:59 |
| lightboi | thanks for replying, just that when merging its the best alt to p4 | 18:59 |
| lightboi | some people on stackoverflow claim it works fine on 20.10. please kindly guide to source packages | 19:00 |
| rdr | it's usually not a good idea to mix packages from different releases | 19:01 |
| rdr | but you can find the deb for it and see if it installs | 19:01 |
| lightboi | no, i will build | 19:01 |
| lightboi | the deb has obviously the wrong source :) | 19:02 |
| rdr | https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kdiff3 | 19:02 |
| lightboi | hhaha | 19:02 |
| lightboi | thanks but no thanks | 19:02 |
| rdr | could be an issue with your configuration if you upgraded | 19:02 |
| rdr | maybe old config files is causing issues | 19:02 |
| rdr | look in ~/.config/kdiff maybe | 19:03 |
| rdr | or .kde somewhere | 19:03 |
| lightboi | sure.. brb | 19:03 |
| lightboi | lightdm so no .kde probs | 19:03 |
| lightboi | nope no local config either | 19:04 |
| lightboi | sir, have you really tried kdiff3 on stock 20.04? | 19:04 |
| rdr | no | 19:05 |
| rdr | just trying to help | 19:05 |
| lightboi | umm sorry for being rude | 19:05 |
| rdr | /usr/share/kxmlgui5/kdiff3/kdiff3_shell.rc | 19:05 |
| rdr | that appears to be a default config file of some sort in the package | 19:05 |
| rdr | but that's as far as I can suggest you look | 19:06 |
| lightboi | umm i purged package so.. and kxml is not default on ubuntu | 19:06 |
| rdr | I don't want to install it because it pulls in a lot of dependencies | 19:06 |
| lightboi | thanks! appreciate! cheers | 19:07 |
| lightboi | next alternative is meld but is sux | 19:07 |
| rdr | might want to ask in #kubuntu since they would be able to more easily install it without adding a lot of deps | 19:08 |
| rdr | if that's a channel | 19:08 |
| lightboi | rdr <3 | 19:08 |
| rdr | tell you what i'll spin up a vm and see | 19:09 |

| lightboi | well seems i need to go for a fresh install | 19:35 |
| lightboi | residual form 18.04 maybe | 19:36 |
| rdr | did you try removing that config file? | 19:36 |
| lightboi | rdr did your vm work? | 19:36 |
| lightboi | yep | 19:36 |
| rdr | ~/.config/kdiff3rc | 19:36 |
| rdr | yeah it works in the vm | 19:36 |
| rdr | I tried kdiff3 ~/.config ~/.kde | 19:36 |
| rdr | and it works fine | 19:36 |
| lightboi | hmm | 19:36 |
| lightboi | i will wait for higher ones to answer or else tomm morning i will go for clean install | 19:37 |
| lightboi | but that stackoverflow post tho | 19:37 |
| lightboi | thanks man | 19:37 |
| rdr | chev, i'm not sure, I don't know what squid is. Are you trying to reach it from your local network or outside of it? | 19:37 |
| lightboi | rdr !!!!!cheers!!!! | 19:37 |
| rdr | lightboi: good luck | 19:37 |
| lightboi | hehe | 19:37 |
| rdr | chev: because if you use your outside IP, you'd have to forward the port on the router to your machine, unless you're connected directly to the modem | 19:37 |
| lightboi | actually was hooked on to simavr and wanted diff.. <3 4m india | 19:38 |
| chev | rdr: im a beginner here, sorry for the confusion. I have two machines and a ubuntu server together on an unmanaged switch. The server has wireless network. I installed squid, a proxy service, to bring them internet, but i need to configure what ip address and port it listens on. | 19:39 |
| chev | so i wasnt sure if i should use the servers ip address or what, but i know what port to use. | 19:39 |
| rdr | ok, i'm not sure. if you're connecting to it locally, it should be your internal network ip. but it might be the other one, i'm not sure | 19:40 |
| rdr | sorry this is beyond me, i'm googling but not finding much | 19:41 |
| chev | its fine ^_^ | 19:42 |
| lightboi | chev, rdr, umm if i am not wrong squid is flat proxy on http/tcp | 19:42 |
| rdr | does this give you any hints? https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/squid-proxy-is-not-hiding-client-ip-address/ | 19:42 |
| lightboi | so any like 80, 8080, 443 should worl | 19:43 |
| chev | lightboi: yeah, 8080 is the port, no problem there, wasnt sure what ip to use | 19:43 |
| lightboi | not a pro so like rdr said search is ur best friend buddy | 19:43 |
| lightboi | if its locally then its your gateway for sure | 19:44 |
| chev | ok, i got it running this time, will see if i can get to it from the other machine, thanks | 19:46 |
| lightboi | chev aaa 198.0.0.1 or 198.0.1.1 worked? | 19:47 |
| lightboi | please tell if you want to share..thanks brother | 19:48 |
| lightboi | QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified is a Qt error | 19:56 |
| lightboi | rdr if you are online brother can you tell qt versions on that vm | 19:57 |
