| lenarhoyt | Hi. I'm on 20.04.2 and I cannot load custom .desktop files. I installed the with desktop-file-install ~/.local/share/applications my.desktop, updated the cache, restarted, etc. I tried it with different .desktop files, it simply won't show up in the launcher. This is a *clean* install. | 00:56 |
| Saito552 | hello | 01:10 |
| Saito552 | I don't have a problem, infact this is the reverse of that, but I'm just curious if this is all in my head but , see i run xubuntu because it's a really old core2duo imac computer, and i just got a cable to be able to go from mini dvi on the imac to a 1080p monitor , and by disabling the imac screen the performance is better than when i just was using the imac screen | 01:13 |
| Saito552 | is that even possible | 01:13 |
| Saito552 | like is it that the monitor being off is drawing less heat to the rest of the system since it's all inside the screen? | 01:13 |
| Saito552 | or is this all in my head | 01:14 |
| sarnold | some of the older graphics chipsets could do *one* screen accelerated and the other screen would just be a dumb framebuffer | 01:14 |
| leftyfb | Saito552: maybe it performs better at a different resolution? I don't think it has anything to do with heat/power to the built in LCD | 01:14 |
| sarnold | I don't know about your machine, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had the horsepower to do accelerated graphics to only one monitor | 01:14 |
| Saito552 | i dunno i just got the cable, disabled the internal imac screen and it performs way dif than the mac screen did | 01:14 |
| Saito552 | when it was just the imac's screen | 01:15 |
| Saito552 | never ran 2 at the same time | 01:15 |
| sarnold | ahhh | 01:15 |
| Saito552 | at least at desktop | 01:15 |
| Saito552 | what's going on for me is it starts on the imac, loads xubuntu then at desktop i have it disable the mac screen and switch over | 01:15 |
| Saito552 | it does it while it's loading | 01:15 |
| Saito552 | automatically | 01:15 |
| Saito552 | this screen is 1080p and i have to look up again the wierd resolution the imac has | 01:16 |
| Saito552 | 1680 x 1050 | 01:17 |
| sarnold | hmm those are pretty similar, it's not like one is half the pixels of the other.. | 01:18 |
| Saito552 | AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 | 01:18 |
| Saito552 | i mean my theory is the screen being turned off is lessening the heat and stuff being put on the parts inside | 01:19 |
| Saito552 | but im def noticing some difs here | 01:20 |
| sarnold | certainly plausible; you could check CPU power / speed? | 01:20 |
| Saito552 | let me see ive been using linux for a few years but still pretty newbie | 01:20 |
| Saito552 | i got a temp monitor thing | 01:20 |
| sarnold | sudo cpupower frequency-info | 01:20 |
| sarnold | if your guess is right, probably the cpu temp is the same no matter what -- just the 'source' of the heat changes | 01:21 |
| Saito552 | command not found | 01:22 |
| Saito552 | i guess i dont have that one hold on | 01:22 |
| Saito552 | ok which of these do i need | 01:22 |
| Saito552 | tools common or oem-tools common | 01:23 |
| Saito552 | let me use the thing i got now psensor instead | 01:23 |
| Saito552 | has my cores around 50C | 01:24 |
| Saito552 | ill switch them and see what it does | 01:24 |
| Saito552 | hmm i dunno but whatevs damn linux can be magic heh | 01:26 |
| Saito552 | saves old computers | 01:26 |
| Saito552 | less ewaste | 01:26 |

| se-sm-ca | hi all, how do I enable ssh access to the 20.04 installer while it's running? | 12:40 |
| se-sm-ca | centos/rhel I can ssh into the installer, can't seem to figure out how to do it for ubuntu | 12:40 |
| lotuspsychje | se-sm-ca: i think you need to boot into the live desktop, then install ssh on it and run the installer from the live desktop | 12:47 |
| se-sm-ca | lotuspsychje: ah I'm thinking more in the preseed | 12:56 |
| se-sm-ca | I don't have video access | 12:56 |
| lotuspsychje | se-sm-ca: elaborate your end goal a bit more, volunteers might have other ideas for you | 12:57 |
| se-sm-ca | lotuspsychje: so in anaconda (centos installer) it can have an ssh server running in the installer by adding the "inst.sshd=1" kernel command line option, letting someone ssh into a running install to debug things remotely. I'm trying to find the ubuntu equivalent since I do not have video access to these servers, and they're stuck on one part of the installation process | 13:02 |

| monsterco | I have a trading program that I have installed on my PC and I can connect to it using their API and TCP Socket. If the program is not running my c++ program keeps trying to connect and of course fails but there is a about 2 minutes delay each time. I don't think they have added delay and this is probably TCP wait time. Where can I change this to be 0? | 18:35 |
| monsterco | Error. Id: -1, Code: 509, Msg: Exception caught while reading socket - Connection reset by peer | 18:35 |
| JoeLlama | how do I get the panel to open at the bottom of the screen rather than the top in xubuntu 20.04? | 18:39 |
| oerheks | monsterco, care to share what program, what ubuntu version? at least.. | 18:39 |
| JoeLlama | the websites don\t male sense on how to do this | 18:39 |
| JoeLlama | at least for me | 18:39 |
| monsterco | Ubuntu 20.04 | 18:40 |
| ThinkT510 | JoeLlama: just right click on the panels to customize them | 18:40 |
| monsterco | program is a trading application so probably won't make a difference other than it takes tcp socket but also it is NOT running | 18:41 |
| monsterco | so every 2 minutes I get the error message but I want that to be much less and contineous attempts to connect | 18:41 |
| monsterco | seems like tcp stack (maybe?) is only trying every 2 minutes to connect | 18:41 |
| monsterco | oerheks, ^ | 18:41 |
| oerheks | monsterco, yes, the exact program info please, why hold back ?? | 18:42 |
| oerheks | others might be able to help you, i am having diner now | 18:42 |
| * oerheks afk | 18:42 | |
| monsterco | because it doesn't matter | 18:44 |
| monsterco | the program is NOT running | 18:44 |
| monsterco | if it is running I connect right away | 18:44 |
| monsterco | if it is not running of course my c++ doesn't connect and gives that error but only every 2 mins; I want that delay shortened. It has nothing to do with the program. | 18:44 |
| ThinkT510 | monsterco: why are do you want the delay shortened for your program if you know the trading app isn't running? are you going to use the program with something else? | 18:47 |
| sybariten | 'ello | 18:49 |
| sybariten | I just reinstalled a ubuntu server, or i went from v14 to v20 in one go | 18:49 |
| JoeLlama | ookay thanks ThinkT510 | 18:50 |
| JoeLlama | thought I did that and couldn\t find an option | 18:50 |
| sybariten | Using the same ssh client with the same settings (and the same name of the account) i can get in without problems, but my character or locale settings are a bit messed up, as can be the case with a new machine. | 18:50 |
| JoeLlama | lemme try again | 18:50 |
| JoeLlama | which option ThinkT510 ? I am running xubuntu 20.04 | 18:51 |
| sybariten | Since i'm running the same ssh client without any change, i figure the problem is all on the server side and not on my desktop side. Where do i start investigating? Do i need to do soemthign with the "locales" package? Curses, for instance, like in this weechat irc client, does not look like it should | 18:51 |
| JoeLlama | nope nope nope ThinkT510 there is no option I can find that will open the panel at the bottom of the screen :( | 18:52 |
| sybariten | I'm guessing it may be related to 7bit versus 8 bit ascii or something. The thing is i am not USAmerican so i should probably not set the most common recommended setting that i can find out there online.... | 18:52 |
| ThinkT510 | JoeLlama: go to settings, you can add/remove/move panels | 18:53 |
| JoeLlama | oh okay ThinkT510 :) | 18:54 |
| JoeLlama | ThinkT510, you mean right click on the panel and go to panel preferrences? | 18:55 |
| JoeLlama | there is no settings | 18:55 |
| * JoeLlama waits for ThinkT510 (: | 18:56 | |
| ThinkT510 | JoeLlama: yes, under preferences | 18:57 |
| JoeLlama | hrm... specifically what do I click on ThinkT510 ?? | 18:58 |
| ThinkT510 | JoeLlama: sorry, busy | 18:59 |
| JoeLlama | there is nothing that says move to bottom or anything... | 18:59 |
| isapgswell | how to disable builtin feature linux? | 18:59 |
| JoeLlama | ah okay gotcha ThinkT510 | 18:59 |
| JoeLlama | anyone else understand how to move the panel from the top of the screen to the bottom? seems like it would be easy but I don't think so. | 18:59 |
| JoeLlama | again xubuntu 20.04 | 19:00 |
| JoeLlama | websites tell me to do this and that but that is not the preferences I am seeing. | 19:01 |
| notobvious | JoeLlama, if i remember correctly you unlock the panel and drag it by a corner to the bottom of the screen | 19:02 |
| JoeLlama | I tried that didn't work right but maybe I try agian thanks :) | 19:03 |
| JoeLlama | well that worked but now the panel doesn't hide | 19:04 |
| notobvious | in the panel settings there should be auto hide | 19:06 |
| JoeLlama | oh it's fixed now... how do I get more thank six lines of panel notobvious ? | 19:06 |
| JoeLlama | yes autohide was checked | 19:06 |
| JoeLlama | guess it took a few seconds to register dunno | 19:07 |
| JoeLlama | so yeah need more than six lines of panel.... how do I configue that notobvious ?? | 19:07 |
| JoeLlama | good job so far btw :) | 19:07 |

| deadrom | hi. | 20:00 |
| deadrom | about to update a 16.04LTS to 18.04LTS but apt update gets stuck at Get:6 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/multiverse amd64 DEP-11 Metadata [2468 B] | 20:01 |
| deadrom | 0% waiting for headers. well. why won't it proceed | 20:01 |
| sarnold | that's strange :/ I just now did a wget mirror of that whole directory structure and it downloaded half a megabyte of data over 93 files in a few seconds | 20:03 |
| sarnold | I think ^C that and restart your update? | 20:04 |
| deadrom | did. not better. | 20:05 |
| deadrom | the interwebs suggest to force ipv4. gonna see if it helps | 20:05 |
| deadrom | not better. | 20:08 |
| sarnold | deadrom: I haven't downloaded dep-11 data for a few years, I think I got annoyed by similar things when I disabled it.. | 20:11 |
| sarnold | deadrom: look around in /etc/apt/prefs.d to see if you can find a config file that causes dep-11 to be downloaded; you can probably rename that file to add an .ignore suffix or something to get apt to ignore it -- I'm pretty sure I just removed mine | 20:12 |
| sarnold | dep-11 supplies icons and screenshots and metadata for the graphical app store thing, which I don't have installed; if you use that, you'll probably want to put it back once you're done with the upgrade | 20:13 |
| deadrom | sarnold: only rfd to dep-11 is in apt-conf.d/50appstream | 20:21 |
| sarnold | deadrom: ah, sorry to send you to the wrong place :( -- mv that file to your home directory or something, then re-issue the apt update | 20:23 |
| deadrom | no idea what wrong with this piece of shit. I renamed .disabled, apt update hung at line 3 teamviewer-repos | 20:24 |
| deadrom | i removed teamviewer, now angs at line 2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease [109 kB] | 20:24 |
| deadrom | I think I pull a fresh 20.04 now and install right over, something is fishy here | 20:24 |
| deadrom | I swear to bob, every piece of IT from that guy is *cursed* | 20:25 |
| sarnold | deadrom: argh. :( can you browse http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with w3m or lynx or similar on this machine? | 20:26 |
| deadrom | sarnold: I got shot in my tracks: minutes after hooking this computer to my network switch my network starts hiccuping | 20:28 |
| deadrom | which explains the recent wonky problems with his networked printer | 20:28 |
| sarnold | deadrom: hmm; are you thinking there's something onthe machine that's causing wider network problems? that's certainly possible, but I've not seen that for ages.. | 20:29 |
| deadrom | intel NUC. I thin kI just pluck out the ssd and jam it into a proper PC | 20:29 |
| deadrom | CURSED. | 20:29 |
| deadrom | now I remember that he said: the mouse and keyboard occasionally stop responding and have to be reconnected at usb. | 20:34 |
| deadrom | usb drops out, network jeopardized everything... something in this thing is shot | 20:34 |
| sarnold | flaky power supply, insufficient power supply can give you some pretty confusing results | 20:35 |
| deadrom | sarnold: I thought in that direction, too. DC-In. could be VRMs, too | 20:43 |
| deadrom | intel was a bit greedy with compacting the NUCs. | 20:44 |
| oerheks | some lift the fan to see if the CPU is real, and plug it back on, without fresh paste | 20:45 |
| oerheks | deadrom, try some intel tools to check hw | 20:45 |
| oerheks | windows only, afaik https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000024102/intel-nuc.html | 20:45 |
| deadrom | oerheks: not old enough for dry paste, never tinkered with, first owner | 20:47 |
| deadrom | standard 19V 65W... could hack its head of and transplant on a lenovo... | 20:50 |
| sybariten | Ughhh i thought i fixed some more character related issues by installing a locale, but now i realized i've also changed the language that things like apt communicate in... so its not english. Well i guess the "os" is not english any more. | 20:52 |
| sybariten | Is it possible to have the best of borth worlds? I want basicly my whole experience to be in english, but i want to be able to write and read my special characters... | 20:53 |
| sarnold | sybariten: I think dpkg-reconfigure locales will probably do the right thing | 20:53 |
| sarnold | sybariten: there's a fair amount of details on https://wiki.debian.org/Locale if you need more than that | 20:54 |

| kepael | 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso (rev c2) | 20:58 |
| kepael | Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad E595 | 20:58 |
| kepael | Kernel driver in use: amdgpu | 20:58 |
| kepael | Kernel modules: amdgpu | 20:58 |
| oerheks | oh even amdgpu | 20:58 |
| kepael | what does that mean? | 20:58 |
| oerheks | !amdgpu | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Open drivers for AMD cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). AMD has a closed driver named amdgpu-pro that supports the same cards as amdgpu, but it is generally unnecessary. FGLRX is not supported in any current Ubuntu version or in this channel. For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units | 20:59 |
| kepael | So would i get better performance installing amdgpu-pro? | 20:59 |
| bl | i'm running ubuntu 18.04 and i'm having some strange issues right now. i'll give two examples. one scenario is where i can have a firefox window behind a terminal window and when i click on the browser window it does not raise but clicking will select the browser. then i can move the mouse over the terminal window and right click and instead of getting the terminal context menu i get the firefox context menu | 21:00 |
| oerheks | maybe, install them manually, or the oibaf ppa https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-latest-amd-radeon-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux | 21:01 |
| kepael | I'm using ubuntu 20.04 | 21:01 |
| sybariten | sarnold: thank you.... seems like a common suggestion is also to export some variable in bashrc, but i wonder if this is the most reasonable way to do it, just feels like a bit like a "make-up" thing to me | 21:01 |
| oerheks | same | 21:01 |
| kepael | the link says ubuntu 18.04 | 21:01 |
| bl | so that is kinda two examples, one being that windows don't always raise on click and the other is the weird behavior with regard to context menus | 21:02 |
| bl | there are others but they are more difficult to describe. they all seem to revolve around losing control of the mouse in various ways | 21:02 |
| sarnold | sybariten: well, different people want different things :) setting variables in bash may not help if you run mostly gui tools.. | 21:02 |
| kepael | is it ok if i install the driver from this site? https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-linux-20-30 | 21:03 |
| sarnold | no idea, I've never known anyone to do that before | 21:04 |
| sybariten | sarnold: well no, this is a headless machine.... it just felt (a little) like a "hack" laying on the surface, if you understand, since other things are more "integrated" (such as running a dpkg tool). But i think the reconfiogure tool may actually have helped me get english messages now. Thanks! | 21:04 |
| kepael | I dont know if that helps with the ryzen processors though... It doesnt say ryzen it just lists dedicated GPU models | 21:04 |
| oerheks | kepael, if you do, you will need to reinstall the driver every kernel update, and update that package too when there are fixes | 21:04 |
| oerheks | the oibaf ppa is a known driver ppa, i would use that. | 21:05 |
| sarnold | sybariten: there's no fantastic way to let every user on the system select their own language, and let users select different languages per process, etc .. it's all pretty complicated | 21:05 |
| sybariten | sarnold:yup i can imagine | 21:05 |

| sarnold | sybariten: I for one hate the new 20.04 LTS date -u output: "Fri 12 Mar 2021 09:06:08 PM UTC" | 21:06 |
| sarnold | 09 .. PM. WAT. | 21:06 |
| sybariten | sarnold: oh.. but thats just nine in the morning in USAmerican isn't it? | 21:07 |
| sybariten | mine says 21 now, so thats good. Well its not good cause the server's one hour wrong, but... | 21:08 |
| sarnold | sybariten: that's the thing -- it used to say 21, now it says "09 pm". I hates it I do. | 21:09 |
| sybariten | ok. Yeah thats a locale issue on your end mayube? | 21:09 |
| kepael | oerheks: It seems that the PPA only installs the open source drivers... Wouldnt i get as good performance as in windows if i install the proprietary amd driver? The one from this site https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-linux-20-45 | 21:09 |
| sarnold | sybariten: it's apparently an intentional upstream change https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1862055 | 21:11 |

| sybariten | sarnold:so its a feature, not a bug... | 21:18 |
| sarnold | sybariten: right :) | 21:18 |
| sybariten | ugh i just realized my "locale" command outputs different things depending on if i'm running it inside or outsied of tmux .... so consquently i can for instance also only type my local extra characters only when i'm in emacs outside of tmux, not when running emacs inside tmux... | 21:29 |
| sarnold | sybariten: ^B :setenv FOO BAR can be used to change the environment variables in tmux, so that new processes spawned from tmux get different values | 21:33 |
| sybariten | sarnold:thanks... | 21:36 |

| deadrom | could someone with 20.04 do me a favour and check if apt update right now works? | 22:21 |
| deadrom | i just installed a machien from scratch, kept /home though, ehternet, wifi - apt update gets stuck on line 2 "security" repos | 22:21 |
| kepael | it works | 22:25 |
| deadrom | then this machine is knackered. makes no sense though. | 22:25 |
| sarnold | deadrom: wfm on both a focal and bionic system | 22:25 |
| deadrom | sarnold: sorry what? | 22:27 |
| sarnold | ooh. you know, I just remembered busted PMTU disocvery can lead to problems like this. any chance you're got a firewall on the system, or the network, that's dropping ICMP packets? | 22:27 |
| sarnold | deadrom: wfm == works for me | 22:27 |
| deadrom | no, apart from a simple stateful nothing like that | 22:27 |
| deadrom | how do I disable all ipv6 for 20.04? | 22:27 |
| oerheks | so your hardware seems to be toast, as you earlier was thinking. | 22:28 |
| oerheks | or maybe change network cable? | 22:28 |
| deadrom | oerheks: I even tried wifi | 22:28 |
| deadrom | tried a different psu, too. had one with those specs | 22:29 |
| deadrom | I think I might try popping the ssd in anothe rmachine | 22:29 |
| deadrom | actually I'll just do that | 22:29 |
| deadrom | same. popped the SSD in a thinkpad T400. wired eth. disabled ipv6 temporary | 22:41 |
| deadrom | this here is a 18.04, apt update jsut goes through | 22:42 |
| deadrom | no wait... problem with http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease | 22:43 |
| macc24_ | hello, is vboot-tools package present in ubuntu? | 22:44 |
| macc24_ | i can't seem to install it on my machine | 22:44 |
| sarnold | macc24_: I can't spot anything with that name in any release of ubuntu | 22:45 |
| leftyfb | macc24_: negative. No packages nor files named vboot-tools | 22:45 |
| macc24_ | okay, would it work if i installed a debian package? | 22:45 |
| leftyfb | macc24_: I wouldn't. What is vboot-tools for exactly? | 22:45 |
| macc24_ | leftyfb: cgpt | 22:46 |
| macc24_ | and other chromebook-specific binaries | 22:46 |
| macc24_ | to interact with partition table, to package kerkel etc. | 22:46 |
| leftyfb | macc24_: there is vboot-utils and cgpt packages | 22:46 |
| macc24_ | oh | 22:46 |
| macc24_ | i'll try installing it | 22:46 |
| deadrom | what are the fastest mirrors? | 22:47 |
| leftyfb | deadrom: what package(s) are you installing? | 22:48 |
| deadrom | leftyfb: just apt update. takes ages. | 22:49 |
| deadrom | ran a download, my line is fine | 22:50 |
| leftyfb | deadrom: then just use the main one us.archive.ubuntu.com | 22:50 |
| Bashing-om | deadrom: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors - choose what works best for your location. | 22:50 |
| sarnold | deadrom: maybe pick an https mirror -- I wonder if your ISP is running a transparent http proxy. those are often pretty poor. | 22:51 |
| leftyfb | deadrom: I used to use ubuntu.media.mit.edu and found it the fastest even from other countries. But it had an issue with not being up to date at one point so I went back to the main one | 22:52 |
| === j is now known as jess | ||
| deadrom | can I round robin mirrors within, say EU? | 23:13 |
| oerheks | just use main | 23:14 |
| sarnold | you could probably convince apt-transport-mirror(1) to do something like that, but it'll wind up duplicating a bunch of the lists in /var/lib/dpkg/ | 23:14 |
| sarnold | it's probably better to just pick one that works fast and keeps up to date | 23:15 |
