(and i'm in the OS) [10:08] all guides refer to booting a live cd === facetus_malum6 is now known as facetus_malum [10:19] diofantoz: no not generally, you need to be able to access the devices themselves and if the system you're using depends on those devices being mounted- then you can't be messing with them [10:20] abff: yea, ok [10:20] this is the system partition so [10:21] ty [10:21] yeah get yourself a live usb to boot into while working on that [10:21] I wish you success [10:53] is it necessary to create the swap partition right next to root partition ? or can it be a few partitions away ? [11:03] silv3r_m00n: Are you setting it up for a desktop/notebook? [11:12] silv3r_m00n: as i understand it, you can choose any order of partitions without hesitation in case you using SSD. If you use HDD, than the first ones partitions will be a little faster than the last ones. And of course, there's no critical need for creating a swap partition, if you setting up operating system for home use [11:12] silv3r_m00n: these days you don't need to create a swap partition anymore, Ubuntu creates a swap file by default [11:12] Maik: ubuntu has a swap file already ? [11:12] means if it runs out of space on ram it will use the file ? [11:12] without thrashing the system ? [11:13] since 18.04 [11:13] silv3r_m00n: this might answer some more questions: https://www.maketecheasier.com/need-swap-in-ubuntu/ [11:13] Maik: what is this feature called by the way ? [11:13] actually this is a laptop that i dont plan to shutdown, it may stay in hibernation or suspend [11:13] swap is not needed for that as well ? [11:14] silv3r_m00n: read the article :) there it talks about hibernation. as far as i understood, you need it for that purpose [11:17] hi how to solve this error?/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lasdf [11:19] aquanaut: are you trying to compile something? [11:23] this is a brand new laptop with windows 10 pre-installed, i created extra space on the existing ssd for ubuntu installation, i have created 1 partition to be mounted as root, do i need to create something for the boot loader ? or how does it work ? [11:26] silv3r_m00n: it depends if you're going to be using uefi or legacy [11:26] there is an EFI partition of size 105 MB [11:26] it belongs to windows 10 i guess [11:26] now what do i do next [11:26] i was told that ubuntu beside windows10 is tricky [11:26] silv3r_m00n: ok, i'd create a separate efi partition for ubuntu [11:27] i create a root partition in the free space area, i should add a new partition of type EFI ? [11:27] and install bootloader in there ? [11:28] yeah, you want to create a ~300mb partition and set the type to efi and also at the bottom of the screen where it says 'install bootloader to device' you should put /dev/sdX where sdX is the ubuntu hdd (and not sdX1 or 2) [11:29] in that case, what happens to the windows 10 ? will be able to boot ? [11:29] i guess the existing EFI partition is from where windows 10 boots [11:29] there is only 1 ssd drive, and there is already an EFI partition, if i add 1 more there will be 2 EFI partitions [11:29] silv3r_m00n: yeah, ubuntu will try to set itself first in the uefi boot order, and grub should have windows [11:30] but if i put /dev/sdX and not /dev/sdX1 or /dev/sdX2 how will ubuntu know which EFI drive to choose ? [11:30] if your board has odd implementations, as many do, then you'll get windows once you reboot, and then you'll need to see what can be done [11:30] silv3r_m00n: cause you set the 300mb to efi type [11:31] the the existing 105mb efi partition ? what happens to that [11:31] it's not touched [11:31] silv3r_m00n: This might help https://www.itzgeek.com/post/how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-alongside-with-windows-10-in-dual-boot/ [11:31] its like 105mb efi + 200gb windows 10 + 80gb ext4 / + rest blank [11:32] i thought ubuntu is on a separate hdd, it's the same one? [11:32] EriC^: if its not touched, then how will ubuntu know to use the second EFI and not the first [11:32] yes same [11:32] single SSD [11:32] single 512gb ssd and windows 10 pre installed [11:32] now i create free space to install ubuntu [11:32] ah ok, nevermind the efi for ubuntu then, just create root fs and it will use the windows efi [11:32] the windows efi is 105mb, is that sufficient ? [11:32] i read somewhere it should be about 500mb atleast [11:33] it should be yeah, the ubuntu files are only 5mb here [11:33] OH GREAT [11:33] means i had to do nothing but click next [11:33] let me do that [11:33] will be back in a while after installation finishes [11:34] hi! Is there a way of using git from nautilus? [11:36] (with a GUI) [11:38] krmt: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/06/simple-nautilus-git-integration [11:38] and some more https://askubuntu.com/questions/4788/nautilus-git-integration [11:41] IchiseX: I had seen those, but they look ansolutely ancient. The second is not available for > 17.04 [11:43] oopsie, sorry then. [11:43] why not use the terminal? [11:43] i know, that's not the question. [11:44] IchiseX: just because .... I am trying to see whether I can run everything from GUI, experiencing ubuntu as would my wife .... I have to say, overall not very happy. [11:45] how about a gui version of git? [11:46] IchiseX: such as git-cola? [11:47] IchiseX: that is actually quite good, but not well integrated into nautilus. [11:47] IchiseX: git-gui does not integrate at all. [11:47] IchiseX: the nicest I have seen so far is to fire up eclipse and import. [11:48] IchiseX: very elegant and fairly simple. Yet, you have to install eclipse which is not that easy. [11:51] IchiseX: which other alternative would you suggest? [11:58] another question .... does libjack-jackd2-0 do anything useful? [12:01] it provides shared libraries for the JACK Audio Connection Kit [12:02] so other software that's compiled against jack would probably need them [12:03] tomreyn: I understand .... I thought ubuntu was not using jack though? [12:05] krmt: it doesn't, not the main flavor, other flavors do, specifically UbuntuStudio [12:07] tomreyn: this is what I thought ....

Which apparently does work with a Pantech UML295 [16:50] diofantoz: resizing the crypto container is possible, but not simple. once you've backed up, try your luck with the cryptsetup utility in a terminal. [16:51] be aware that it wont resize any layers it contains, so you'll need to do those seperately, before (when shrinking) or after (when growing) the crypto layer [16:53] Kobaz: if you're running into a usb device reset then a different router wont fix that [16:54] Kobaz:oh, ignore that, i misunderstood what you're doing. === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus [17:22] tomreyn: yeah it's a dongle to host the usb 4g modem and spin that off into ethernet [17:44] tomreyn: alright, i read something about that [17:44] but also that partitionmanager would do [17:45] i'm not sure what "partitionmanager" is [17:45] it's a gui partition app [17:45] ... might as well format the disk and setup again [17:45] might be easier [17:46] possibly [17:46] we'll see, thanks for the input [17:47] backup, boot from a a compatible live iso, try your luck with this partitioning gui, check whether it seems to have worked. if it didn't, use the live/installer iso to reinstall, then restore backups.

[18:19] I've installed 20.10 in bridge mode on a VM on my laptop, and that works [18:19] no, can't ping the router [18:20] tpcdump doesn't show any traffic from the router either [18:20] what is your laptop ip and subnet ? [18:20] it's like the MAC isn't working, although as I said the lights and ip link seem happy [18:20] oh a vm [18:20] you can't cut and paste but you can take pictures and uplod to imgur [18:20] the laptop is connected to the same router [18:21] must be a host network issue then [18:21] btw with a vm, sure your hoste can paste. [18:21] no, the vm is the working [18:22] the machine is not working [18:22] just tell me what you need to see, I can type it out or something - I'm at a loss for where to look [18:23] kgh: do the following: type ifconfig (take picture), do a ping from machine to the router, then do "arp -na" [18:23] if you can see the router MAC, you have network connectivity with the router [18:24] if you can't see router's mac, is a network issue like bad cable [18:24] the host is not working? weird [18:24] it's not a bad cable, I can use this cable on other machines [18:24] I've already said tcpdump shows no traffic from the router [18:25] so you don't see router's MAC ? [18:25] ifconfig and arp aren't installed but ip link shows link up [18:25] ip neigh is empty [18:27] I just converted this machine from windows, I am sure all hardware works [18:28] i think you whould fix networking on the host.

[18:37] kgh: might be a routing problem [18:37] happend to me once but I don't remember exactly what was the issue [18:37] it's not routing, I can see the kernel sending DCHP requests on tcpdump, those aren't ticking any TX stats on the interface [18:37] Thank you oerheks [18:37] sorry - dhclient of course, not the kernel [18:38] try to make it to work with manual IP [18:38] I already did - doesn't help [18:39] maybe the NIC driver isn't installed? [18:39] or it's the wrong one? [18:40] kgh: https://dpaste.org/rRJU [18:41] don't forget to edit network driver name [18:41] does the filename matter? I don't know much about netplan - my file is 01-network-manager-all.yaml [18:41] so create new file or edit that one? [18:42] also my renderer is NetworkManager, does that manager? [18:42] if this is a desktop / graphical system, you probably want to keep using network-manager, not move to systemd-networkd, as meandrain's file would [18:42] networkmanager sucks [18:43] well, it works well enough for most [18:43] tomreyn: it's faster using command line to configure network [18:43] meandrain: that's your opinion, not everyone may agree. [18:44] kgh: just to confirm, this is a VM running ubuntu 20.10 on some hp envy model where the host system is unknown, using an unknown type of routing, and unknown physical network interface? [18:44] or is this ubuntu 20.10 running bare emtal on this system? [18:45] baremetal [18:46] if "ip neigh" shows nothing then i guess it's either a driver, a firmware or a hardware issue.

[19:37] In what way does setting up a Ubuntu One account help upgrading the kernel without rebooting my system? [19:38] m_: not. it'S a commercial service offering with a free usage tier. that's why. [19:39] developing and testing live patches takes a lot of effort which is why no one offers them for free. [19:40] except, there's a free for non-commercial (IIRC) use tier in canonicals' offering for ubuntu [19:41] so i have to sign up to obtain the right to use them as long as i declare that i use this non commercially? [19:41] generally, if you have questions about commercial Canonical services, it's best to contact them about it, since this channel is mostly community / volunteer run, === Ringtailed-Fox is now known as RingtailedFox [19:42] !livepatch [19:42] Canonical Livepatch is a service offered by Canonical for 64 bit 14.04 and higher installs that modifies the currently running kernel for updates without the need to restart. More information can be found at https://ubottu.com/y/livepatch and https://www.ubuntu.com/server/livepatch [19:52] thanks for the links, reading them now [20:06] is it possible to upgrade 16.04 ubuntu installer to install 20.04? [20:07] maybe by modifiying some configuration files? [20:11] debouncer: no, installations use a base system image which is included in the installer iso [20:13] you could try using the zsync approach, but i doubt it'll save you more than a few megabytes [20:17] debouncer: i.e. zsync -i /path/to/your-existing-ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso http://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync [20:17] but it's probably just a waste of time [20:23] i have 2 empty hard drives formatted with makentfs, one of them shows up in bios boot order, any idea how? it creeps me up as it should be 100% empty [20:24] both 100% functional [20:24] yeah, nevermind [20:25] could the firmware somehow be bootkited? [20:26] because i did reinitialize the drive to dos and then to gpt with fdisk [20:32] whats the fastest way to create like 10,000 symlinks [20:33] in code, not from a CLI (unless spawning a child process is faster) [20:41] jarred: ask your favourite programming channel, i'd say. [20:43] jarred, what have you found sofar? [20:43] :-D [20:44] https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/link.2.html [20:45] int i; char path[1024]; for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { snprintf(path, sizeof path, "linkname-%d", i); link(OLDPATH, path); } [20:46] is there a way to use something like io_uring to batch the system calls into one (and is that faster)? [20:47] I am not an expert but I doubt it, you're not doing file IO you're asking the kernel to create inodes [20:47] for i in {1..10000}; ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random; done === Scotty_Trees2 is now known as Scotty_Trees [20:48] no? [20:48] @oerheks that will spawn 10000 separate processes, will be much slower than syscall [20:52] kgh: okay i'll keep digging but will just use a for loop if i can't find a faster way [20:55] sorry - I should have pointed you to https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/symlink.2.html [20:56] link(2) is for hard links [20:59] I guess I should also comment that something like io_uring won't make it faster (even if you could use it for symlink(2) which it doesn't seem you can) [20:59] io_uring makes it async (non blocking) which is only useful if you want your program to do other work while the kernel is handling your IO request === BrianG61UK is now known as BrianG61UK_ === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK [21:18] can anyone recommend an open source matrix client for ubuntu [21:18] ? [21:20] maybe there is a snap? [21:22] not all irc channels allow matrix as a bridge, so i have no clue if there is a legit client https://snapcraft.io/search?q=matrix [21:22] fair enough [21:49] Newb101: Element f.k.a.

[21:59] do you mean xhci? [21:59] usbhid [21:59] ? [21:59] directly connected too the mainboard USB interface ? [21:59] yes, external mouse and keyboard [21:59] notebook motherboard [21:59] havve you tried unplugging/switching ? [22:00] yes [22:00] i have a macbook air and no problem [22:00] xinput show correct [22:00] i come from windows i dont know much abbout how linux handles pnp devices or drivers .. shit jsut works for me mostly :> [22:00] for me is it working, but some input lag [22:01] it is working, althought input lag [22:01] i suggest somehow making the host forget the previously installed/connected devices the ntrying again. im just assuming there is a way to do so ... [22:03] it appears only when using external keyboard and mouse [22:03] usb both [22:04] I activated auto login [22:04] so it doesn't ask for password at login [22:04] now lock screen doesn't work [22:04] Super+L does nothing [22:04] how can I restore lock screen?
