| sarnold | robert45: try sudo dpkg --configure -a ? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| robert45 | sarnold, same thing: https://dpaste.org/LKpM | 00:02 |
| sarnold | robert45: okay, this is a bit gross but I'm running low on ideas; edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/mdadm.postinst and add 'set -x' near the top, just under the 'set -e' -- and re-try the dpkg --configure -a command, and lets see what falls out of this.. | 00:05 |
| robert45 | sarnold, Thanks, this is what it returns: https://dpaste.org/EiAa | 00:10 |
| sarnold | robert45: maaaan :( so, do you use mdadm? if not, maybe just apt purge mdadm ubuntu-server and try to move forward? | 00:15 |
| robert45 | what is ubuntu-server, is that a required package? | 00:15 |
| sarnold | it's a meta-package that depends upon a bunch of 'usual server things' | 00:15 |
| robert45 | So it wont happen anything if I remove it? | 00:16 |
| sarnold | nothing will happen immediately; I think it might be used by do-release-upgrade to help sort out the *next* upgrade, but I'm not sure on that | 00:18 |
| robert45 | ok thanks | 00:18 |
| robert45 | That worked | 00:22 |
| robert45 | Thanks for all the help sarnold, you have been helpfup! Bye! | 00:23 |
| oerheks | !cookie | sarnold | 00:23 |
| ubottu | sarnold: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 00:23 |
| sarnold | robert45: don't go yet! | 00:24 |
| sarnold | robert45: try another dpkg --configure -a | 00:24 |
| robert45 | sarnold, it run with no output :) | 00:24 |
| sarnold | YAY | 00:24 |
| sarnold | okay, cool | 00:24 |
| sarnold | did you reboot into a 20.04 kernel or is it still an 18.04 kernel? | 00:24 |
| Intelo | don't ubuntu has go package? | 00:29 |
| oerheks | Intelo, did you check launchpad for golang? | 00:30 |
| oerheks | i know you are lazy .. | 00:31 |
| sarnold | Intelo: apt-cache search golang-1 | 00:32 |
| robert45 | sarnold, Im still running an 18.04 kernel for some reason even after rebooting. I presume I need to edit grub? Or maybe this dpkg-reconfigure would have fixed this? | 00:34 |
| sarnold | robert45: normally do-release-upgrade manages the kernel transition :( bummer... | 00:34 |
| oerheks | run a full-upgrade on that 18.04, and try again? | 00:34 |
| sarnold | robert45: how about dpkg -l linux-generic ? | 00:35 |
| robert45 | oerheks, how do I do that? | 00:35 |
| oerheks | apt update && apt dist-upgrade | 00:36 |
| Intelo | sarnold: oerheks oh 'go' is 'golang'? | 00:36 |
| robert45 | sarnold, see here: https://dpaste.org/wznr | 00:40 |
| robert45 | oerheks, it shows nothing to install | 00:41 |
| sarnold | 5.4.0-66 versions are installed.. why the heck did it boot into the 4.15 kernels | 00:41 |
| robert45 | I assume grub didnt update properly because of my forced reboot while running the Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20 upgrade | 00:42 |
| robert45 | sarnold, my upgrade process got stuck and I couldn't find a way to get out so I had to reboot, fortunately it rebooted correctly but maybe some things are broken | 00:43 |
| robert45 | I ran update-grub which finds the new kernel but it doesnt update the config file: https://dpaste.org/udBf | 00:46 |
| oerheks | then the kernel is incomplete, sudo apt install -f | 00:51 |
| sarnold | hrm. my bionic system has a /boot/grub/default and /boot/grub/menu.lst, my focal system doesn't | 00:51 |
| robert45 | oerheks, nothing to install | 00:53 |
| robert45 | sarnold, maybe your Ubuntu 20 is grub2 ? | 00:53 |
| robert45 | I noticed my upgraded system still uses grub not grub2 | 00:54 |
| robert45 | Not sure if its related | 00:54 |
| sarnold | there's stuff in /boot/grub/, just not those things :) but that machine's weird, I followed the 'zfs on root' guide to get there | 00:54 |
| JPSman | So, there is an update available, but its saying its for kernel images and I need to use a specific kernel for my wifi -- How can I update without updating the kernel images? | 01:07 |
| oerheks | JPS what makes you think a fresh kernel does not work with your wifi? | 01:07 |
| oerheks | does your wifi driver give a DKMS? | 01:08 |
| JPSman | nope! --- oh wait a second, I got a new wifi dongle for this reason ..... | 01:08 |
| JPSman | I'll have to see what I can do to have grub work with my kernel I know works.... | 01:09 |

| rory | Acquire::http::Timeout "10"; | 07:08 |
| rory | Acquire::ftp::Timeout "10"; | 07:08 |

| monojamoon| | I connected it to the laptop, but all I am getting is the ubuntu background on it | 08:05 |
| monojamoon| | * I have a spare monitor & I connected it to the laptop | 08:07 |
| EriC^^ | monojamoon|: likely the login screen is still on the other monitor | 08:07 |
| monojamoon| | Yes | 08:07 |
| EriC^^ | if you type the password blindly and press enter it should login i guess | 08:07 |
| monojamoon| | I does | 08:07 |
| monojamoon| | *It does | 08:08 |
| monojamoon| | However, I am still getting desktop background on it | 08:08 |
| monojamoon| | Anyway to get the content of the laptop on the monitor? | 08:09 |
| EriC^^ | monojamoon|: try to right click the desktop and go to change background picture then back to settings > display | 08:09 |

| dbugger | Hi, fellas. I got an issue. I have a ZIP file, and archive manager will unzip some files but others not, without giving any error. But weirdly, if I try to do it through the terminal with "unzip", it works without a problem. Why could this be? | 11:19 |
| Qen-Joana | dbugger, Are you getting the error with the R-click "extract..." commands? | 11:24 |
| dbugger | Qen-Joana, nope, not one | 11:25 |
| dbugger | The operation seems to be totally successful (even thought it is not) | 11:26 |
| Qen-Joana | Sorry, I didn't mean 'error' | 11:26 |
| dbugger | I have posted it with more detail in here, if you want to check: | 11:26 |
| dbugger | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319233/unzipping-from-the-desktop-extracts-less-files-that-from-the-terminal | 11:26 |
| Qen-Joana | When this happened to I last week, I had problems with R-click extracting sometimes no files, but double-clicking and extracting with the GUI app worked fine. | 11:27 |
| dbugger | Qen-Joana, I am not getting any kind of output. Actually I wasted yesterday the whole day, trying to figure out why my program was not executing. I didnt realize until this morning that the extraction was not working :( | 11:27 |
| Qen-Joana | From your post, it seems like we had the same problem. | 11:28 |
| dbugger | Yeah, that works fine, but I want to find out how come that "Extract here" will not work. I wonder if it has to do with the contents of the ZIP | 11:28 |
| dbugger | The program that generates those ZIPs, also generates executables for MacOS. And those are not working either. | 11:28 |
| dbugger | Which makes me think that the problem lies in the contents of the ZIP file, but I have no idea what could it be... | 11:29 |
| Qen-Joana | Considering the timing, perhaps it is a new bug in the archive tool? | 11:29 |
| dbugger | You think so?? | 11:29 |
| Qen-Joana | Do you have the ability to downgrade the tool? | 11:29 |
| dbugger | What about the timing? Has anything happened? | 11:29 |
| dbugger | I have 3.63.3 | 11:29 |
| Qen-Joana | I'm not on my Pop!_OS system right now, I cannot check my version. | 11:30 |
| Qen-Joana | But my suggestion is to try different versions of the archive tool. | 11:30 |
| dbugger | The thing is, since the generated file is also not working on macOS, I doubt a lot that it is a problem of Archive Manager.. | 11:31 |
| Qen-Joana | Are you saying you have a tool on OSX that runs on similar libs or architecture? | 11:33 |
| === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ | ||
| dbugger | No no | 11:37 |
| dbugger | Let me explain better. | 11:37 |
| dbugger | I am using Unity Cloud Build to make builds of a game I am development. At some point, those builds stopped working, for every platform, even though the build was successful. | 11:38 |
| dbugger | The build of Linux was not working, until this morning I discovered that the whole ZIP file was not extracting properly | 11:38 |
| dbugger | The generated files for other OS, like windows or Mac are also not working | 11:39 |
| dbugger | so the timing is too good, it cannot be that it is a problem of Archive Manager... | 11:39 |
| dbugger | All the builds stopped working at the same time, for everyplatform, which makes me suspect that the problem lies on some files inside the generated build. Probably in that folder that is not extracting... but I have no idea which could be. | 11:40 |
| Qen-Joana | Sorry, but the details are beyond I, and I am awake at 3:40am with no sleep yet. I suspect I and others have this problem, and my only 'symptom' was the archive manager not working. I will bookmark your post and hope for a solution! | 11:41 |
| dbugger | Thanks | 11:41 |
| EriC^^ | dbugger: if i run 'while true; do ps aux; done > ps' and do extract here on the file then see the log for 'grep filename ps' it shows the command it uses, maybe that will give more insight | 11:50 |
| EriC^^ | it gives this for me "file-roller --extract-here file:///......." | 11:51 |
| === osse_ is now known as osse | ||
| dbugger | Not sure I understand what you mean, but let me try... | 11:51 |
| EriC^^ | dbugger: i mean, maybe try to run the command manually in the terminal to see if it gives you any info on why it fails if it does fail | 11:52 |
| dbugger | EriC^^, No, in the terminal there are no problem | 11:52 |
| dbugger | It works perfectly | 11:53 |
| EriC^^ | dbugger: but you said you're using unzip in the terminal? | 11:53 |
| dbugger | Look at this link. I pasted the output: | 11:53 |
| dbugger | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319233/unzipping-from-the-desktop-extracts-less-files-that-from-the-terminal | 11:53 |
| EriC^^ | dbugger: this is the command it actually runs when you press 'extract here' | 11:53 |
| dbugger | Which one? file-roller ? | 11:54 |
| EriC^^ | yes | 11:54 |
| dbugger | oh, ok. let me try that | 11:54 |
| EriC^^ | for me at least, that's what it's running | 11:54 |
| dbugger | ok, the command works also well... | 11:57 |
| dbugger | let me see the ps file.. | 11:57 |
| dbugger | EriC^^, I do not see anything remarkable in the ps file | 11:59 |
| dbugger | https://pastebin.com/fYKkZme8 | 11:59 |

| dbugger | But the thing is... it is working, when I use the command | 12:01 |
| dbugger | Should I do the loop, while using the GUI? | 12:01 |
| EriC^^ | yeah, that's what i meant | 12:01 |
| dbugger | ok, lets see | 12:01 |
| dbugger | lol... not even one match o_O | 12:02 |
| dbugger | That cant be right. I will try it again | 12:03 |
| dbugger | nope.... 0 matches o_O | 12:04 |
| dbugger | wtf... | 12:04 |
| EriC^^ | maybe the gui is broken, not running anything | 12:04 |
| dbugger | if it was broken, it wouldnt extract a part of the file, no?? | 12:05 |
| EriC^^ | same file, no caps on the filename etc? | 12:05 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 12:05 |
| dbugger | :P | 12:05 |
| EriC^^ | try with grep -i ? | 12:05 |
| dbugger | ok.. | 12:06 |
| dbugger | nope.... nothing... o_O | 12:06 |
| EriC^^ | i wonder where the info is for what to run when one clicks a context item | 12:07 |
| dbugger | clearly not in ps aux... | 12:07 |
| dbugger | I have no clue ... :/ | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | hmm, grepping etc for file-roller shows interesting stuff in /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu | 12:08 |
| dbugger | what is the grep command I should run exactly? | 12:08 |
| EriC^^ | seems a dead end | 12:10 |
| dbugger | :/ | 12:11 |
| EriC^^ | the stuff there points to /usr/share/applications/file-roller.desktop that's all | 12:12 |
| dbugger | Im browsing the zip file for weird file names... | 12:13 |
| dbugger | There are plenty of DLL files, but that cannot be... | 12:13 |

| * oerheks reading https://askubuntu.com/questions/1319233/unzipping-from-the-desktop-extracts-less-files-that-from-the-terminal | 12:49 | |
| dbugger | oerheks, thanks | 12:51 |
| oerheks | dbugger, do you have an url, so we can try that zip? | 12:52 |
| dbugger | Not really, since it is a private company project :/ | 12:52 |
| oerheks | oh oke. | 12:53 |
| oerheks | so, if i understand correctly, that 1st folder 84,4mb is placed at / ? | 12:53 |
| oerheks | or totally not unzipped at all? | 12:54 |
| dbugger | Yeah, the screenshot is at the root of the compressed files | 12:54 |
| dbugger | ah no | 12:54 |
| dbugger | it does not appear at all | 12:54 |
| dbugger | not even empty | 12:54 |
| oerheks | what if you open it in fileroller, and extract just that folder? | 12:55 |
| dbugger | Yes, it works | 12:55 |
| dbugger | The only way it does NOT work, is with the GUI | 12:55 |
| Qen-Joana | When I was dealing with this problem, I had downloaded some .zips from www.esoui.com and also had less (and sometimes zero) file output from context-menu "extract here (smart)". | 12:55 |
| dbugger | with file-roller and unzip, works fine | 12:56 |
| dbugger | It is just the "Extract here" that does it partially | 12:56 |
| oerheks | weird, hard to say what is going on. | 13:00 |
| dbugger | Yeah it is... | 13:00 |
| dbugger | It began to happen 2 weeks ago | 13:01 |
| dbugger | I wonder wtf I changed in my project, that messed up the builds :/ | 13:01 |
| oerheks | get a genuine copy again? | 13:01 |
| dbugger | a what? | 13:01 |
| oerheks | weird part is, on comandline it works.. | 13:01 |
| dbugger | Yep.. | 13:01 |
| dbugger | Extracting it directly from the Archive Manager works too | 13:02 |
| dbugger | Only the "extract here" is what is not working | 13:02 |
| iekfkk | can ubuntu update after 1year without deps breakage | 13:05 |
| oerheks | iekfkk, i think so, let us know if you did | 13:07 |
| oerheks | * only if the release is still supported ofcourse | 13:08 |
| iekfkk | if i download old iso it seems to update why is that deps dont break here | 13:08 |
| oerheks | oh, old iso .. no | 13:08 |
| iekfkk | yup assuming suport | 13:08 |
| oerheks | then you must do some trick with old-releases. | 13:08 |
| iekfkk | no assuming 5 year lts support | 13:08 |
| oerheks | i would boot that old is, download a new iso with it and put it on usb | 13:08 |
| iekfkk | but why do deps break on arch so easily | 13:09 |
| oerheks | 18.04(.0) release can still be used. | 13:09 |
| oerheks | you would end up with 18.04.5 .. or .6 | 13:09 |

| dbugger | I crashed :P | 13:25 |
| dbugger | Ok, a different question: I seem to have 2 virtualbox commands, "virtualbox" and "VirtualBox". Is this normal...? | 13:26 |
| EriC^^ | dbugger: yup, same here | 13:27 |
| rory | check with "which virtualbox" and "which VirtualBox" | 13:27 |
| rory | one is probably an alias for the other | 13:27 |
| dbugger | "which virtualbox" is "/usr/bin/virtualbox" and "which VirtualBox" is "/usr/bin/VirtualBox"... that didnt help much :D | 13:28 |
| dbugger | it is still 2 different commands | 13:28 |
| rory | They're both symlinks to /usr/share/virtualbox/VBox.sh | 13:31 |
| dbugger | Oh, cool. So i do not have to worry | 13:32 |
| dbugger | Thanks | 13:32 |
| dbugger | Another question regarding virtualbox: Is there anyway to prevent it from crashing the host OS? :P | 13:32 |
| rory | allocate less memory to the guest VM? | 13:32 |
| rory | and /join #vbox | 13:32 |
| dbugger | Oh thanks | 13:32 |
| dbugger | Not it is a memory issue, really. I do not have much at all... | 13:33 |

| oerheks | technically, if you have grub-efi, you might be able to remove it.. but why? | 13:50 |
| longshanks | oerheks: becuase I boot efi/gpt so didn't think I needed it. | 14:00 |
| longshanks | but on the same note, I also don't want to remove it if it makes my system not boot. So kinda wondered what I'd need to know in order to be able to know it's safe to delete. What test can I do to check before I remove it? | 14:01 |
| oerheks | ubotto wrote = is optional | 14:02 |
| oerheks | with understanding you use EFI | 14:03 |
| oerheks | i would not risk it, it is a few mb | 14:03 |
| longshanks | oerheks: understood. | 14:03 |
| DarkTrick | can I change the encoding of a terminal temporary to something different, say SHIFT-JIS? | 14:07 |

| DarkTrick | oerheks, I have file/folder names, that I'd like to read | 14:12 |
| oerheks | maybe you should join the #ubuntu-jp team, or look at the JP ppa something.. https://launchpad.net/~japaneseteam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 14:13 |
| DarkTrick | oerheks, thanks for the advice! | 14:13 |
| DarkTrick | I guess I'll give up then | 14:13 |

| pajdeg | Hi, I got two drives, one for windows 10 and one for Ubuntu. | 14:57 |
| pajdeg | I've been playing around with docker on Ubuntu when I decided to go on windows for a while. | 14:57 |
| pajdeg | When I rebooted into Ubuntu I noticed something was weird as my resolution was like 600x800. | 14:57 |
| pajdeg | My boot partition on my Ubuntu boot partition is not mounted while my windows boot partition is. | 14:57 |
| pajdeg | So somehow my ubuntu boot migrated to the windows boot partition. | 14:57 |
| pajdeg | How could this have happened and how do I fix it? My windows still works but my Ubuntu is - as I said - broken in terms of drivers. | 14:57 |
| mort | did canonical just now remove python 2 from its 16.04 archives? | 15:04 |
| leftyfb | mort: no | 15:06 |
| leftyfb | mort: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/wmHj2qpfbf/ | 15:06 |
| mort | the python2 package exists, but a bunch of packages it depends on seems to be missing | 15:08 |
| mort | https://p.mort.coffee/OFSO | 15:09 |
| mort | libpython2.7-minimal, python2.7-minimal, libpython2.7-stdlib and python2.7 are all missing even though the python package exists | 15:09 |
| leftyfb | mort: yup, something looks broken there. Looks like just the updates packages. The previous versions are still there. As seen here: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.7/libpython2.7-minimal_2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.13_amd64.deb | 15:11 |
| mort | so I need to pin the relevant packages to the 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.13_amd64 version, or is there an easier way to fix this than with pinning | 15:14 |
| oerheks | !info python-minimal xenial | 15:15 |
| ubottu | python-minimal (source: python-defaults): minimal subset of the Python language (default version). In component main, is optional. Version 2.7.12-1~16.04 (xenial), package size 27 kB, installed size 145 kB | 15:15 |
| leftyfb | oerheks: I can confirm they're missing. Just got complaints from our build farm about it as well | 15:16 |
| oerheks | there is some progress going on? | 15:17 |
| oerheks | see date + time https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/python2.7-minimal | 15:17 |
| mort | so the actual debs were removed but the index still has it listed? | 15:18 |
| oerheks | also we had a python update today, https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4754-1 | 15:18 |
| oerheks | i think we should wait and see.. | 15:18 |
| mort | I'll just try to pin the packages to get on with my work and check back later | 15:19 |
| mort | seems I don't know how package pinning works. My /etc/apt/preferences contains `Package: python2.7 \n Pin: version 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.13 \n Pin-Priority: 999` yet it's trying to download python2.7_2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.14_amd64.deb | 15:21 |
| eijebong | Hi, 16.04 security mirrors are currently broken, http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz references libpython2.7-minimal version 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.14 but the file doesn't exist there http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.7/libpython2.7-minimal_2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.14_amd64.deb | 15:27 |
| eijebong | Is that a known issue ? Any way to work around that ? | 15:27 |
| pfak | how do we report a broken mirror? security.ubuntu.com is missing the latest python2.7 update for xenial: | 15:27 |
| pfak | ooops | 15:27 |
| pfak | i was just going to say that eijebong :) | 15:27 |
| eijebong | pfak: :D | 15:27 |
| Habbie | wherever you're going to report it, probably useful to include the failing IP | 15:28 |
| eijebong | 91.189.88.152 | 15:28 |
| leftyfb | eijebong: it's currently being reported | 15:28 |
| oerheks | eijebong, thanks, known issue | 15:29 |
| mort | any idea how I can work around it? Specifically, why isn't https://p.mort.coffee/yFB in /etc/apt/preferences working? | 15:30 |

| oerheks | SuperLag, not sure there, we need more details, what nginx repo, what ubuntu version | 15:45 |
| DJ-ArcAngel | it says it can't find the IP, while i can ping it and resolv the host | 15:45 |
| oerheks | DJ-ArcAngel, hi, thanks for reporting, there is an issue with python2.7 , crew is working on it | 15:45 |
| ogra | DJ-ArcAngel, is says it cant find the file, not the IP btw ... | 15:46 |
| metbsd | is there a way to save audio mixer setting? | 15:46 |
| DJ-ArcAngel | ah yea | 15:46 |
| DJ-ArcAngel | is there something alternative i can use? | 15:46 |
| mort | regardless of the python issue, I'm wondering why pinning the package doesn't work | 15:47 |
| mort | I suppose one could just manually download the debs and install them with dpkg | 15:47 |
| metbsd | now it resets when i reboot | 15:47 |
| oerheks | alternative, not besides pinning the old version, i would wait a bit | 15:47 |
| ogra | DJ-ArcAngel, you could try your luck and hope to find a mirror that has not pulled the changes from the archive yet ... but i guess thats a lot more work than just waiting that the archive gets fixed | 15:47 |

| DJ-ArcAngel | i have them installed on another system.. can i re-package them again there as .deb? | 15:50 |

| eelstrebor | stonergeek, if it's postfix you might have better luck at #postfix | 16:07 |
| leftyfb | mort: snap search gftp | 16:07 |
| stonergeek | Ahhhh ... thanks | 16:07 |
| eelstrebor | mort, i don't know | 16:07 |
| eelstrebor | mort, i installed it using synaptic | 16:09 |
| mort | right, the only entry in ubuntu software for gftp is from the repos (and its license is proprietary??) | 16:09 |
| eelstrebor | i've used gftp for many years, maybe it's time for a change | 16:10 |

| mort | maybe, but don't change away from gftp just because of the license, it seems to be under the GPLv2 and just mislabeled as proprietary in ubuntu software | 16:11 |
| oerheks | larkfisherman, known issue, try to run sudo apt update again, it should be fixed a minute ago. | 16:11 |
| leftyfb | larkfisherman: try: sudo apt update # again | 16:11 |
| eelstrebor | it came up a lot faster when i ran ubuntu 18.04.5 | 16:12 |
| larkfisherman | Ah, good to know it's a server side issue, and that I haven't just fscked up my system :) Is there any place where I can follow the updates on the issue? | 16:13 |
| leftyfb | larkfisherman: it's been resolved | 16:13 |
| larkfisherman | I'm running `sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade` in a loop, and on my machine it still shows the same issue. That's why I'm asking for more information. | 16:14 |
| mort | maybe it's taking some time for mirrors to update? | 16:14 |
| oerheks | your mirror is main? | 16:14 |
| leftyfb | there might be some physical machines as part of the mirrors that are still being updated. Just wait a bit longer then | 16:15 |
| oerheks | jups, we only can confirm that the fixed packages are out there. | 16:15 |
| larkfisherman | That makes sense. I will try main mirror, or wait until tomorrow if that doesn't work. Thanks for help :) | 16:15 |

| limbo | How do I reload my GPU driver (nvidia, propietary) without rebooting after an update? I'm getting errors like "Failed initializing any suitable GPU context!" from MPV. | 16:32 |
| rangergord | (How) can I tell before installing a package, whether it will install a service that will permanently run in the background, or if it will be a standalone executable that I call manually (or any non-executable, like libs, icons, fonts, etc). Basically I want to distinguish between "Service" packages, and packages that have no effect on the system unless I run something manually | 16:34 |
| limbo | rangergord: extract the .deb file, look at the files. Reading the install script might also tell you. I don't think there's standard metadata for that though. | 16:36 |
| rangergord | ah, too bad | 16:36 |
| mort | also might have to look at the debs of any dependencies right | 16:36 |
| rangergord | yeah that would be really annoying. Was hoping there would be a simple "does this package (or any of its deps) install services? yes/no" | 16:37 |
| limbo | rangergord: apt-file and search for unit files, or any mention of systemd maybe. | 16:37 |
| oerheks | rangergord, if there is a systemd file, it should give a clue | 16:41 |
| oerheks | anyway, if it starts automatic, one can disable the service, even mask it for not to start at all | 16:42 |

| oerheks | renaming a file in trash? no | 17:10 |
| imi | no | 17:10 |
| imi | you know that if you have a file in trash it's actually stored somewhere in the old fashioned linux directory tree somewhere? | 17:11 |

| jussi_a | Good evening! Since I uninstalled CUDA-drivers I have a problem with my displays (one integrated in laptop, one separate through hdmi) displaying anything only in other screen. Nouveau drivers display anything only in laptop screen (the other screen definitely still exists within the OS because the desktop panel is usable there in the blank | 17:39 |
| jussi_a | screen), and if i switch to proprietary drivers, the laptop screen will be blank and i can use the computer only through hdmi. Can anyone help me where to manually change the settings so that i could recognize the other screen also? | 17:39 |
| jussi_a | If that is even the solution for this. I have a hunch it's not a driver problem because changing drivers will not solve it. | 17:40 |
| leftyfb | raub: what's the point? | 17:50 |
| jussi_a | can anyone even direct me on how to configure displays on xorg? | 17:56 |

| oerheks | oh, and has that laptop an FN key + internal/external/both switch ? | 17:59 |
| jussi_a | oerheks, yes the laptop has it and i've tried it. With nouveau drivers i can see the cursor in other screen but nothing is being drawn there.

| longshanks | Hi all. Is there any issue with security.ubuntu.com? File has unexpected size (111640 != 111832). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 91.189.91.39 80] | 18:02 |
| longshanks | Something wrong with the release file? | 18:03 |
| oerheks | jussi_a, tried nomodeset? | 18:09 |
| oerheks | !nomodeset | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. | 18:09 |
| oerheks | longshanks, maybe your mirror was just in sync.. try apt update again? | 18:09 |
| longshanks | oerheks: ok. since it was security.ubuntu.com I was just being cautious. Will retry now.. | 18:10 |
| longshanks | oerheks: seems to work ok now. | 18:11 |
| jussi_a | oerheks, thanks for advice! I could try it but what does it do? | 18:11 |
| oerheks | oke, have fun! | 18:11 |
| oerheks | jussi_a, it disables nasty powersave features | 18:11 |
| oerheks | else, state your hw, maybe there is a dedicated fix.. still wonder as you had cuda running. | 18:12 |
| oerheks | sometimes with such odd video issues, removal of the battery and holding the power button 10 seconds could do a decent reset. | 18:13 |
| jussi_a | It is as if the laptop screen didn't exist at all in hardware when i did xrandr --query with proprietary drivers | 18:15 |
| jussi_a | But i'll try nomodeset for now | 18:18 |
| jussi_a | Wish me luck! If i'm not back today, i'll be stuck in terminal without GUI forever | 18:18 |

| gst568923 | Hi guys, if I use only ubuntu as OS is secure formatting external HDD with ext4 file system instead of NTFS? | 21:35 |
| ThinkT510 | gst568923: sure, ubuntu will handle that fine | 21:37 |
| neoweb | gst568923: gparted could make things simple for you too | 21:38 |
| gst568923 | and what about forensic analysis, is it easier to recovery data from an ntfs or ext4 file system? | 21:38 |
| ThinkT510 | gst568923: sometimes the filesystem in use doesn't matter for recovery. some tools look at the raw data | 21:39 |
| gst568923 | Ok, when I formatted the external drive with gparted, write permissions had to be enabled. Is the procedure I followed correct? | 21:43 |
| gst568923 | `sudo chown myusername:myusername /media/username/hdd_name` and than `sudo chmod 777 /media/username/hdd_name` | 21:44 |

| === jhutchin1 is now known as jhutchins | ||
| summonner | the /media is the mount point, not the device | 21:45 |
| leftyfb | gst568923: you should not have the partition mounted that you want to format. If formatting the entire drive, you do not want to have anything on that drive mounted | 21:45 |
| summonner | from memory, the process is something like... run gparted -> format the disk -> unplug the drive -> rescan devices -> exit gparted -> plug in the external disk again and it should work | 21:47 |
| gst568923 | leftyfb I don't understand, did I do something wrong? | 21:47 |
| summonner | but I believe you need to have fuse installed... let me find the page about mounting drives in userspace | 21:47 |
| summonner | gst568923, what did you format the drive as? | 21:48 |
| gst568923 | I run gparted > unmount device > formatted with ext4 | 21:49 |
| summonner | gst568923, and you have to exit gparted before plugging the drive back in | 21:50 |
| gst568923 | yes then I quit gparted which automatically re-mount the device | 21:51 |
| summonner | gst568923, and it mounted it under /media/your_user_name/disk_label but you say you have no permissions to write? | 21:52 |
| neoweb | sudo gparted | 21:52 |
| neoweb | gparted need permissions for the device | 21:52 |
| ThinkT510 | no need to exit gparted, just rescan devices | 21:52 |
| summonner | if gparted mounts it, gparted runs as root though, not your user ID | 21:53 |
| neoweb | you chmod/chown /dev/device as root/whatever | 21:53 |
| neoweb | if gparted is ran as root then you do not need to correct | 21:53 |
| gst568923 | the device is mounted on /media/your_user_name/disk_label but no permissions to write | 21:54 |

I have googled and found no results. Please help. | 21:57 |
| ThinkT510 | mahe: if 5.10 is what will ship with 21.04 then yes, it will be part of 20.04 (usually after a short while after release) | 21:58 |

| ubottu | mahe: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 22:00 |
| summonner | nunya check in #windows for an answer | 22:00 |
| nunya | with 312.9 GB to scan this could take a while | 22:00 |
| summonner | nunya you'll need to do some various commands from the windows interface to ensure integrity of the windows files, best to ask them in there | 22:01 |
| ThinkT510 | gst568923: giving everyone and everything access to something via 777 is certainly not good practice. In reality you don't want random processes being able to modify/have access to everything. | 22:01 |
| newb101 | how do I check if 2 folders that are meant to be the same are the same? using sha256? | 22:03 |

| maxzor | systemctl status lightdm says it's "green", but when i try to kill the xorg/lightdm process I get swallowed in the loop again | 23:02 |
| sarnold | I'm not surprised killing things causes systemd to restart them | 23:03 |
| maxzor | yes makes sense | 23:04 |
| maxzor | in #linux got the remark that while apu is intel, there are mentions of radeon in dmesg | 23:04 |
| sarnold | heh, I missed 'apu is intel' thing in there, radeon dominates that dmesg | 23:07 |
| maxzor | journalctl talks a lot about faulty pam kwallet | 23:09 |
| maxzor | maybe is that why i never reach the login screen? | 23:09 |
| maxzor | but i can login in console tty | 23:09 |
| sarnold | maxzor: that's almost certainly just noise, loads of people have that | 23:11 |

| newb101 | ? | 23:48 |
| EriC^^ | newb101: env GZIP=-9 tar cvzf file.tar.gz /path/to/directory | 23:54 |
| EriC^^ | actually use this instead tar cvf file.tar.gz /path/to/directory -I "gzip --best" | 23:55 |
| newb101 | EriC^^ thanks and to do this recursively on a bunch of folders and subfolders in their directories | 23:55 |
| newb101 | ? | 23:55 |
| sarnold | if you *really* need to squeeze it down, you can use xz instead | 23:56 |
| EriC^^ | it already does, just specify the dir | 23:56 |
| newb101 | i want each folder in it's on seperate tar | 23:57 |
| newb101 | File X = file 1 +file 2 + file3 | 23:58 |
| newb101 | so if I do it file 1,2,3 will be separate compressed tars ? | 23:58 |
| EriC^^ | newb101: so just all the folders in a dir you want them compressed each alone | 23:58 |
| EriC^^ | ? | 23:59 |
