sarnoldSonderblade: you'll have to do some systemctl list-units kinds of things to find out which service is starting the getty -- maybe it'll be a serial-getty@ unit, maybe something else, but once you find the name of the unit, then you can systemctl disable whatever unit it is00:04
Sonderbladesarnold: i think it's the kernel cmdline console=tty1 console=ttyS000:05
sarnoldSonderblade: aha yeah if you've got that set up, that's quite likely00:06
elencosmpHi. My system is unresponsive and I think it's swapped out even the desktop environment. I know the kernel has something called OOM. When the hell does it kick in?00:32
elencosmpOr is there a way to force it to kick in?00:32
elencosmpCan't even use the mouse or keyboard atm.00:32
liowenexelencosmp, reset button00:33
liowenexYou're out of memory00:33
liowenexIt's not going to recover unless you like waiting 72 hours00:33
elencosmpI can't afford to reset or will lose work.00:33
elencosmpOom takes that long to kill the process?00:33
liowenexI don't know to be honest00:34
liowenexBut if the kernel has out of memory, your work is in trouble00:34
liowenexDo you have any swap elencosmp?00:34
elencosmpSure. But i don't want it to swap anything, I want it to kill the offender. This is supposedly its purpose.00:35

pyeverythingcould someone please help me with this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1321478/installing-cuda-11-1-on-ubuntu-20-04-for-nvidia-geforce-1650-ti-notebook01:54
sarnoldwhat's in that log file?01:56
guivercpyeverything, you just asked that question, why not give people time to read & answer it on askubu?01:57
pyeverythingI ask it so I could document what I was going to say so I could get real-time help here guiverc01:59
pyeverythingwhich log file sarnold01:59
guiverc:) fair enough02:00
pyeverythinghave spent the past 3 hrs pulling my hair with this02:00
sarnoldpyeverything: /var/log/nvidia-installer.log02:00
guivercpyeverything, I assume sarnold meant "nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log"02:00
guivercor was the paste the actual log file02:01
pyeverythingI had cat /var/log/nvidia-installer.log in the end of link https://askubuntu.com/questions/1321478/installing-cuda-11-1-on-ubuntu-20-04-for-nvidia-geforce-1650-ti-notebook02:04
pyeverythingif you click on https://askubuntu.com/questions/1321478/installing-cuda-11-1-on-ubuntu-20-04-for-nvidia-geforce-1650-ti-notebook and scroll to the end you see the log sarnold gu02:04
guivercpyeverything, the end of your "pasted" output in the askubu question says to refer to the file I pasted..   that stood out to me & I suspec it's what sarnold asked about02:05
guivercit's possible the message was written to go to screen, plus also output in logfile02:07
pyeverythingsarnold: guiverc that is literally what you get when you cat /var/log/nvidia-installer.log02:08
guivercyep. sorry I have no experience with cuda02:08
guiverc& sorry sarnold, I didn't notice your reply.. apologies for overstepping02:09
pyeverythingso what should I do sarnold ?02:12
sarnoldpyeverything: oh, that *was* the log? heh I thought that was output from something else, since it recommended to view that file to see the error messages :)02:13
sarnoldpyeverything: maybe try rmmod nvidia-drm then re-try the install script?02:14

bobdobbsI'm gonna try and find the source, put it in an opt subdir, and give it it's own local environment that includes the python it needs03:12
krytarikRather than trying and fixing pastebinit? :o03:13
krytarikAnd I'd be curious about the errors you got.03:13
bobdobbskrytarik: I don't think pastebin is broken03:13
bobdobbsThe error is that it is in an incompatible environment. The easiest way to fix the environment is to pretty much break my system in unpredictable ways03:14
bobdobbsThe next best solution is to give it its own environment03:14
bobdobbsbut I'm having trouble finding source for it03:14
bobdobbsvery secret source03:15

sarnoldbobdobbs: wfm https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xYqF3MdHpP/03:15

dslegendscorrect place to ask a question about ubuntu 20.04, parallels and macbook pro?  Basically I have 3 27" monitors, and when I use ubuntu, only the primary display is useful.  The other two black out (not sleep).  But I can't move windows/workspaces to the other two monitors.  installed gnome tweak, enable the option for "workspace span displays"...

HashHi. Is it possible to downgrade virtualbox on 20.04 from 6.1 to 6.012:11
Hash?12:11
lotuspsychjeHash: downgrading and mixing packages on an ubuntu release is not reccomended12:13
lotuspsychjeHash: reccomended always keeping your system and packages up to date12:14
roryIt's possible if you uninstall the version from apt and download the deb from here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_6_012:14
roryWhat's up with 6.1 that makes you want to use 6.0, maybe we can help?12:14
StupidDanbohow do I find out why my desktop froze? I checked /var/log/syslog and kern.log but found nothing around the time it froze.12:15
Hashremoval a feature that you can put back in12:15
Hashrory: then it doesn't bulid the module12:16
lotuspsychjeStupidDanbo: check your journal logs instead of syslog, see also if you have something in /var/crash12:16

StupidDanbotomreyn, it only goes to 6:25, and it crashed at 6:34.12:32
tomreynStupidDanbo: did your disk run full by chance?12:32
StupidDanbotomreyn, no idea. I don't know why it would, but then again once long ago some log files went insane with errors and it crashed from that I think.12:33
matsamanswensson: should be configurable12:34

tomreynStupidDanbo: okay, that's all fine12:36
tomreyni don't think we'll find out what went wrong12:36
tomreynyou can try rebooting with magic sysrq next time this happens, this can help preserve logs12:37
StupidDanbohm. one of those /dev/loop 100% /snap/ folders is chromium which stopped working, but I also see gnome and core18.12:37
tomreyn!sysrq12:37
ubottuIn an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key12:37
StupidDanbohow can I reboot if my keyboard and mouse stop responding?12:37

swenssonmatsaman, but I need a A-Record for the mailsetup and the Arecord is pointing to my mydomain.com12:39
matsamanmx record?12:40
StupidDanboI should type S U B instead of REISUB like that wikipedia article says?12:42
swenssonmatsaman yeah but Im unable to add any IP on the MX Record ... I might be doing this wrong12:43
tomreynStupidDanbo: yes12:49
StupidDanboalright. I guess I'll try it next time. I feel like this only happens every few months.12:51

pcatineanHello everyone, I'm following this article to make a full-disk encryption on ubuntu https://www.cyberciti.biz/security/howto-linux-hard-disk-encryption-with-luks-cryptsetup-command/. I have booted from a usb-stick and ran the commands to encrypt my nvme ssd drive from there15:07
pcatineanThe article goes on to do the zero write on the drive with dd/dev/zero /dev/mapper/drive, is this step neccesairy? And once it is done how do I proceed with the normal installation?15:07
tomreynpcatinean: zeroing the luks encrpyted device is not required. it is recommended (but YMMV).15:10
pcatineanI think it might be overkill anyway, used blkdiscard instead15:10
pcatineanso now that the encryption is done and I ran blkdiscard I try to install ubuntu as one normally would?15:11
maxFlexGuestI am having problems logging in with Ubuntu Studio.15:12
maxFlexGuestThe Ubuntu Studio password entry won't let me log in, even if I type the correct password. This same password will work when I am using the sudo command within the Terminal (Ubuntu Studio).15:12
tomreynpcatinean: if your goal is to install ubuntu with (almost) full disk encryption, then just use the normal installer and select its full disk encryption option15:12
maxFlexGuestI am trying to log out and back in to switch between the Xfce and KDE Plasma desktop environments on my Focal Fossa computer.15:13
lotuspsychjeOERIAS: what we advice here on ubuntu, is revert your system to ubuntu vanilla !sources with !ppapurge to straight up apt issues15:13
pcatineantomreyn, yes but that will not use full-disk encryption with luks right?15:13
tomreynpcatinean: it will15:14
maxFlexGuestHowever, KDE Plasma is not showing up.15:14
maxFlexGuestMy QEMU virtual machine is failing to connect to Wi-Fi. Any advice with how to install KDE Plasma with the APT command (all lowercase, though)?15:14
tomreynmaxFlexGuest: there is #ubuntustudio for flavor specific questions (i'm not sure these are)15:14
tomreynI don't think any Ubuntu flavour supports KDE Plasma at this time15:16
pcatineantomreyn, then I don't understand the difference between standard ubuntu encryption and the luks version. Security team recommended to do full disk encryption with dm-crypt and luks15:17
tomreynpcatinean: did they say "the full disk encryption option of the installer does not use dmcrypt / LUKS"?15:22
tomreynpcatinean: if not, what makes you think it doesn't?15:22
pcatineanno they just mentioned: Encrypt the local storage of your computer (Mac: FileVault2, Windows: BitLocker, Linux: dm-crypt with LUKS).15:23
tomreynpcatinean: so, since that's what the installer uses, use the installer.15:24
pcatineanoh, then less hassle for me, problem is. I swear I don't see the option in the installer...15:24
tomreynpcatinean: you can do ti all manually, if you prefer, but it's not really needed.15:24
pcatineantomreyn, I have no such fetish :)15:24
tomreyni think newer release installers "hide" it behind an "advanced options" or similar setting15:24
pcatineanah ok, hmm why would they do that lol :)15:25
tomreynfor desktops anyways15:25
tomreynFDE complicates matters, too much for some users.15:25
tomreynhere's a good guide if you want a more manual installation where you can customize things more https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_201915:26
pcatineanNaah I thought that using LUKS encryption with dm-crypt required manual intervention as the standard ubuntu one might be different15:27
pcatineanBut if it's handled by the installer no need for all the fuss15:27
tomreynalso, this lets you also encrypt /boot15:27
JonyPoohOk, this feels like a dumb question, but I'm trying to setup an app to launch obs for me, but it wants a path to the obs app. I can type obs in the terminal and it launches, how do I find the path to that app?15:27
tomreynJonyPooh: which obs15:28
tomreynthat'S a comman, not a question i'm asking15:28
tomreyn*command15:28
JonyPoohOpen Broadcasting Studio15:29
JonyPoohwait, duh, whereis obs15:29
JonyPoohthat worked15:29
JonyPoohand in /usr/bin/15:29
JonyPoohI knew that was a dumb question15:30
pcatineanyou can also use the `which` command with the name of the app and it will print the path15:30
tomreynwhich is information i tried to convey earlier. ;-)15:30
pcatineanah right, haha, I guess both of us read "which obs are you refering to?" XD15:31
pcatineantomreyn, it seems this forces you to use LVM for installation in order to do the encryption?15:31
tomreynpcatinean: that's correct, for the desktop installer (not sure about the server installer)15:32
pcatineanI'm on the desktop installer, curious why it uses lvm for the encrypted version otherwise normal partitioning15:35
tomreynpcatinean: without lvm (or an alternative to it) you could only have a single file system inside the dmcrypt / luks crypto container. i.e. you'd need to have multiple such containers for multiple encrypted file systems.15:35
pcatineanI assume you were writing that already otherwise it was a crazy fast answer haha15:36
tomreyneach crypto container will have its separate master key and passphrases15:36
tomreynyes, i can think ahead sometimes. ;-)15:36
pcatineanI'm not very familiar with the terminology and whenever I think of containers I think of docker container mostly15:38
pcatineanAnd do I need multiple filesystems? there's one for root and one for my home folder? I'm not sure how that works15:39
tomreynyou can actually get away with just encrypted / (the rot file system) and unencrypted /boot (or even all of those encrypted)15:40
tomreynneither of these configurations are supported by the desktop installer out of the box15:41
tomreynyou may also need a (non-encrypted) ESP if you're UEFI booting off the same storage media15:42
pcatineanah yeah wow, didn't think of that15:50

ioriaJonyPooh, and why don't you use the appimage (if you don't like snap) ?16:34
JonyPoohThey have .tar.gz release too, but I coulnt figure our what to do with that.16:34
JonyPoohioria: I tried the appimage, says I need Fuse, but I have Fuse16:34
ioriaJonyPooh, looks like only the beta snap ver it's working ... afaict16:45
PolitikerNEUHi everyone, is it possible to disable half of a monitor in a dual-monitor configuration? Alternatively, I would like to position a screen so that it e.g. overlaps the second screen for a bit. I am on Ubuntu 20.0417:00
shibbolethyou basically want one monitor to... have half the vertical or horisontal resolution?17:01
JonyPoohioria: the beta snap has an issue that it adds .exe to command paths, but I guess I could just make a symlink17:02
PolitikerNEUhalf the horizontal resulution, yes. But it shouldn't be spread over the whole monitor, but like the left part should be display, the right part black. The reason is that I used to have two monitors which fit next to each other, but now there is also a notebook there taking space, making one of the screens "behind" the other for like half the17:04

nunyaWhen I boot my computer I have to log in with terminal and then later gdm opens and I have to log in again? Anyone know how to get rid of that first terminal log in?17:06
tomreynnunya: which ubuntu release are you running, which ubuntu flavour? have you made relevant customizations which could have caused this? when did this first happen, or was it happening right after you first installed?17:10
nunya<omreyn: 20.04 Just started recently. Was messing around with Stacer and also made a directory and file as suggested  at https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/36fqzh/updatedbservice_and_mandbservice_increases_boot/17:18

Was messing around with Stacer and also made a directory and file as suggested  at https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/36fqzh/updatedbservice_and_mandbservice_increases_boot/ have since deleted the file and directory but evidently it changed something in the way computer boots command in the file were [Timer]17:21

=== jorts is now known as nckx
tomreynnunya: my guess would be on these changes you made then. try reversing them, see whether it still occurs.17:27
tomreyndeleting a systemd unit file does not necessarily remove the configured unit.17:28
nunyatomreyn: I think stacer doesn't make changes permanent. I've noticed things I have disabled reneabled the next time I boot. I think it was the conf file  /etc/systemd/system/man-db.timer.d/man-db.timer.conf that the site I mentioned above17:33
PolitikerNEUThe solution to my problem was actually quite simple: use arandr instead of the default settings menu of ubuntu, and that's it17:33
tomreynnunya: registered systemd timers:    systemctl list-timers --all17:35
nunya tomreyn: Even though I have deleted the file and the man-db.timer.d directory I created in  /etc/systemd/system something has been reconfigured and I don't know what. Was hoping someone here might have had a similar situation with having to login through terminal and gdm17:36
tomreynthere are man pages for pretty much everything in systemd. of varying quality, but definitely better than those of sysv-rc.17:36
tomreyni assume others may not have tried to apply a how-to written for arch linux to ubuntu17:37
nunyatomreyn: Is there a way to see recent system changes?17:38
nunyatomreyn: looks like I have a system.conf.bak in /etc/systemd that was created today. I will compare to system.conf to see waht differences17:44
nunyatomreyn: Everything in both files looks the same so I don't think that's it.17:50
=== j is now known as jess
DJones\\18:43
nunyatomreyn: It turns out if I ignore terminal login for about 20 seconds it times out, continues a few other things, eventually gets to gdm and I can login as usual. Also earlier you suggested  systemctl list-timers --all I have pasted results at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VNXQQh6GBf/  Since the file I created at then deleted dealt with mandb and timer I'm guessing that's what I need to deal with. Any suggestions?19:02
shibbolethxenial eol is this april, right?19:08
shibbolethand bionic, is it ten years or five?19:09
coconut!eol | shibboleth19:10
ubottushibboleth: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades19:10
shibbolethyeah, my confusion is not about the terminology19:11
raccoon_dogI think the point was those links, where it may give you the figures you asked for (since you asked if it was ten or five years.)19:11
kk4ewthttps://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle19:12
coconutshibboleth,  2023-04  for bionic, and xenial is correct19:12
shibbolethyeah, it says five but there's alto the shuttleworth announcement that it's ten?19:13
shibbolethalso19:13
shibbolethor is it five+five esm?19:13
coconutshibboleth, every ubuntu desktop version is different19:13
coconutwith ubuntu the longest, rest shorter19:14
shibbolethseems like it has been five since at least 1204?19:14
coconuthere -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL19:14
shibbolethbionic seemed to be the exception, according to shuttleworth, but ob docs say five19:14
shibbolethalso also: what's the point of five years of lts if 99% of libs/deps are "universe, wontfix"?19:15
shibbolethi get that there are *a lot* of libs and deps, but... not bothering with major things like vlc/libvlc and gnome isn't good19:17
shibboleththere has been a local root in xenial gnome for close to three years now19:17
kk4ewtshibboleth, if you buy esm its ten19:21
Maikshibboleth: 3 years extra with ESM as user up to 3 machines19:22

blubuntu 18.04 does not use compiz, correct?19:33

UbuntivityHello. I have a USB printer connected to computer A, and I want to print on it using computer B, which shares the same network with computer A (both have Ubuntu). How can I do that?19:35
matsamanbl: I think apt autoremove or something like that should remove things not required19:41
matsamanbl: but, I'm pretty sure normal Ubuntu's Unity still uses compiz19:42
roryUbuntivity, Ubuntu has print server built in. Check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu19:45
Ubuntivityrory: Thanks. I'll check that...19:46
rorybl, correct, and no, unless you really like the spinning cube :)19:46
roryor wobbly windows. those were the days.19:46
matsamanUbuntivity: I feel like anything using CUPS will age the best19:46
unixbsd_salut alcidi19:47
rory...can you get wobbly windows on modern Ubuntu?19:47
matsamanI'm sure something still maintained supports it19:48
roryUbuntivity, matsaman, the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki still use CUPS in the backend, it's just that Ubuntu already has a GUI built in19:48
matsamanapparently the wayland types are into something called 'wayfire'19:48
matsamanrory: yeah, it's the GUIs that change19:48
roryUbuntivity, I would advise using the Ubuntu wiki first, and the Arch Wiki link from #ubuntu-offtopic if you need advanced configuration19:48
matsamanthe CUPs webUI does not change, it's very boring & regular19:48
matsamanas are the commands19:48
roryUbuntivity, but it sounds like your use-case is the most simple one. ubuntu to ubuntu.19:48
roryEither way, it's dead simple and the answer is CUPS.19:49
Ubuntivityrory: Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to perform the instructions on PC A and see...19:49
matsamanwayfire as a compiz replacement, for window effects, that is19:50

HashI need the apt reposiroty for 19.1023:04
HashPlease.23:04
HashEoan23:04
HashI need to use this repository, and pin some packages priority from it. I need an older version of virtualbox. I need virtualbox 6.0 specirically, as 6.1 has a feature taken out that I need. 20.04 only has 6.1vbox. I need 6.0 vbox with kernel modules23:05
HashPlease advise, thank you23:06

HashWhy not found?23:07
jeremy31hash, that version is EOL23:08
HashI now23:08
HashI know.23:08
HashI need it anyway23:08
HashHow can I do this?23:08
jeremy31It went unsupported as of August 2020, servers are shut down23:08
HashOh?23:08
HashI downloaded virtualbox 6.0 from their own website, as a deb package for 20.0423:09
Hashhttps://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_6_023:09
HashNow, I can install it, and the extension pack, but there are no kernel modules.23:09
jeremy31Hash: so why doesn't 6.0 work from virtualbox.org?23:09
HashWhen I launch the vm, it says no can do, because there are no kernel modules for 6.0 version23:10
jeremy31Hash: you might need the virtualbox dkms for the same version, not sure if that is possible23:10
HashWhen you install 6.1 in 20.04 it uses the dkms to generate kernel modules23:10
HashYes, how can I get this?23:10
jeremy31file a bug report on 6.1 to get the feature back23:11
HashCan't23:11
HashOracle removed it, the pci passthrough feature.23:11
HashNot enough customers to support it, so they took out the features so lessen the code bse.23:12
Hashvmware workstation can't do it23:12
Hashonly esx23:12
jeremy31Hash: build it from source code and reverse the commit23:12
HashSo my only option now is virtualbox 6.0 or virt-manager23:12
jeremy31Hash: was the option available in virtualbox in 18.04?23:13
tomreynjust use virt-manager or gnome-boxes with qemu+kvm23:15
kill-animalswhat is a simple way to foobar some extended attributes onto a file?23:16
tomreynchattr23:17
Hashtomreyn: and that virtmanager can do pci passthrough, correct?23:21
tomreynit can instruct qemu-kvm to do so, yes.23:22
tomreynalso usb passthrough. and it's all libre software.23:23
HashAbout tiem!23:39
HashI shut down the vm in vbox of windows 10.23:39
HashIn windows 10 vm of vbox, I used disk passthrough, and isntalled windows 10 on a physical diak, not a virtual disk.23:40
HashSo, no machines to migrate. If this hdd boots in my pc physical, vm actually starts fine on bare metal and works perfectly23:40
HashSo all I have to do are the two things: 1) create a new vm in virtmanager that uses my physical hdd, match the config of the vm. 2) pci pssthrough23:41
Hashso I need disk passthrough to even get the vm setup23:41
Hashthen after that I can worry about pci passthrough23:41
Hashtomreyn: https://blog.zerosector.io/2018/07/28/kvm-qemu-windows-10-gpu-passthrough/ This guy sais to not Ensure you are not using Nvidia drivers and blacklist Nouveau, Ubuntu's built-in Open Source driver.23:50
HashWhy do you think he is saying I should not use nvidia driver, and I should also blacklist noveou?23:51
HashIf I not use nvidia, and blacklist noveoua, I won't have a video driver touse.23:51
