I have an Ubuntu 20.04 VPS on a cheap-ish cloud provider and their web console (some kind of vnc-kvm) doesn't work after GRUB (it says "booting a command list" and blinks a cursor).

| lotuspsychje | tsujp: ryzens on ubuntu often benefit higher kernels, so !hwe could be a good idea | 10:35 |
| lotuspsychje | tsujp: if those still give issues, you can also test things out with !mainline | 10:35 |
| tsujp | i can manually update the kernel while still on 18.04 LTS right? | 10:35 |

| OnkelBlade | HI all | 12:52 |
| ajshell1 | Hi | 12:52 |
| OnkelBlade | how to see the available list of version for a pacakge? | 12:52 |
| OnkelBlade | I mean to install it with apt-get | 12:53 |
| OnkelBlade | I need to install one of the previous versions of a package | 12:53 |
| ajshell1 | What exactly do you mean? Do you mean a package that has multiple versions in the repositories? Like node? | 12:53 |
| OnkelBlade | ajshell1: no, it's hplip. The latest version is totally broken. I need to try out some old ones | 12:54 |
| remline | OnkelBlade: apt show firefox -a (to see all versions) | 12:54 |
| OnkelBlade | unfortunately there's only one version | 12:55 |
| OnkelBlade | the latest. It seems like -a did nothing for me | 12:55 |
| remline | OnkelBlade: I also see only one version. Which version of Ubuntu are you on? | 12:56 |
| OnkelBlade | 20.04 remline | 12:56 |
| OnkelBlade | trying out now some rmadison tool | 12:57 |
| remline | OnkelBlade: The package hasn't changed since 22 Jun 2020. Has it been broken for you all that time? | 12:58 |
| OnkelBlade | remline: yeah, it hasn't been working for months | 12:59 |
| OnkelBlade | I remember I installed it previously, but don't remember how I did it. Maybe I just downloaded it as deb | 12:59 |
| OnkelBlade | but I forgot to hold | 13:00 |
| remline | OnkelBlade: Ah, 20.10 version is from 22 Jun 2020. The 20.04 version is from 01 Apr 2020. If the 20.04 package doesn't work, you may need to try a deb/ppa/etc. as you say. | 13:01 |
| OnkelBlade | I cannot find now where can I download those debs directory | 13:02 |
| OnkelBlade | E.g. hplip | 3.17.10+repack0-5 | bionic | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x | 13:02 |
| OnkelBlade | I'm not sure how can I download from this page: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/arm64/hplip/download | 13:06 |

| hakumei | Hi all, I met a problem with dual-boot. I cannot access some system files (e.g. dlls, explorer.exe) of Win10 from Ubuntu. It gives "Input/output error". | 13:10 |
| OnkelBlade | Nah, it's not gonna work. Too uncompatible - bionic and 20.04 :( | 13:11 |
| OnkelBlade | damn, so irresponsible... | 13:12 |
| remline | OnkelBlade: Yeah, in general, there is not an easy way to mix old packages with new releases. (Unfortunately!) | 13:16 |
| OnkelBlade | remline: true, true... But that's expected. Because of Python version changing for example :) | 13:17 |
| OnkelBlade | But I just wonder at the hplip package maintainers behaviour. Not givig a f for about a yeah that they have it totally broken? So nobody on 20.04 can print and that's fine. It's still called LTS? Sorry, shouldn't be poisonus | 13:18 |
| remline | OnkelBlade: What problem are you having with printing? Perhaps hplip works for some setups, but not others? | 13:18 |
| OnkelBlade | remline: first, I run its configuration utility - hp-config which detects a printer. Then it itself launches the next utility in line - hp-plugin which should download an appropriate plugin for my printer | 13:20 |
| OnkelBlade | and here comes an infinite loop | 13:20 |
| OnkelBlade | it never actually downloads anything | 13:20 |

| bumblefuzz | so, I've dual booted ubuntu and windows before | 13:55 |
| bumblefuzz | but I always installed windows first | 13:55 |
| bumblefuzz | and ubuntu's bootloader could then give me the choice between OS's | 13:55 |
| bumblefuzz | right now, I have an ubuntu machine that I never intended to dual boot with | 13:56 |
| bumblefuzz | but now I want to dual boot | 13:56 |
| bumblefuzz | is there a way to install Windows to the 2nd partition on my disk but still be able to boot from grub? | 13:56 |
| bumblefuzz | ...so that I can choose my OS at boot? | 13:56 |
| bumblefuzz | I don't want to install Windows and not be able to boot back to Ubuntu | 13:57 |
| stacey | I don't know about how windows 10 handles it, never done it with windows 10, but with previous versions of windows you could (1) install windows and see if the bootloader picks up linux and use that or (2) install grub again after the fact | 13:57 |

| leftyfb | maret: what 3rd party software exactly? Do official ubuntu applications have this same issue? | 14:07 |

| maret | hmm although I guess I will just try to the same thing which caused an error and check logs live | 14:41 |
| leftyfb | maret: actually, I would look at dmesg for possible hardware issues | 14:42 |
| leftyfb | maret: you should try sysbench to run a wrtie benchmark on the filesystem to see if you can replicate the issue. It might be specific to this 3rd party application | 14:42 |
| maret | what about using something like hdparm ? to test the drive | 14:44 |

| oerheks | i miss After=network.target | 17:47 |
| oerheks | https://gist.github.com/lightrush/e6c3310fd0795b03f19daa40abf674e1 | 17:49 |
| hggdh | oerheks: are you aware that network.target does NOT mean network is available? | 19:12 |
| oerheks | hggdh, yes? but that example gives 'After=multi-user.target network.target | 19:19 |
| oerheks | AFAIK that would ensure networking is on | 19:20 |
| hggdh | oerheks: yes... this is a known, erm, issue. If you want network to actually be available, you should state "After=network-online.target" | 19:20 |
| hggdh | prolly also "Wants=netowrk-online.target" | 19:20 |
| oerheks | oke, thank you. | 19:21 |

| maret | hi, i've connected to ubuntu trhough command line and I want to get path to itnernal drive. I rush lsblk there is no mountpoint. do I have to first mount it to /media/ ? | 19:55 |
| matsaman | maret: you have to mount it _someplace_ | 19:55 |
| maret | matsaman: is mounting done automatically by GUI? | 19:56 |
| matsaman | if you want to do it manually, with 'mount' or 'ntfs-3g' or the like, my personal preference is the exceptionally traditional /mnt/foo | 19:56 |
| matsaman | auto-mounting may well use /media/ or /run/media/, etc. | 19:56 |
| sarnold | maret: udisks2 | 19:56 |
| maret | why its not automounted, btw this is Ubuntu based distro on my personal pc which I access through ssh | 19:56 |
| matsaman | auto-mounting by default is dumb, that's why | 19:56 |
| matsaman | you can configure that if it's your preference | 19:57 |
| sarnold | automounting is not a popular choice among server operators | 19:57 |
| oerheks | why would it automount.. | 19:57 |
| maret | so what does GUI do, to make it accessible? Are they mounting it on start ? | 19:57 |
| matsaman | "some" OSes automounted external media by default for a long time | 19:57 |
| oerheks | on the desktop you would see an icon. | 19:57 |
| oerheks | still not mounted | 19:57 |
| matsaman | maret: you have to have a user interaction in the GUI | 19:57 |
| sarnold | maret: no, mounting happens on events | 19:57 |
| matsaman | it's one action that makes it not 100% automatic, and much safer | 19:58 |
| matsaman | by default, anyway | 19:58 |
| maret | sarnold: ou I see so GUI basically run mount when I for example try to access the drive ? | 19:58 |
| ELFrederich | hi, I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 as my desktop. When I run "vi ~/.whatever.cfg" I don't get any syntax highlighting, but on the Ubuntu machine I launched in AWS I do. What package do I need to install to get this? | 19:58 |
| matsaman | maret: if you had a symlink to the drive mount point? No I doubt it | 19:58 |
| matsaman | you'd have to actually click on the drive name, in the list of volumes | 19:59 |
| matsaman | ELFrederich: try using 'vim' instead | 19:59 |
| maret | sure so if I open the drive trhough gnome what happens? Does it mount it ? | 19:59 |
| matsaman | maret: most likely yes | 19:59 |
| matsaman | maret: click the drive name and if you can access it, it'll show up in 'mount' | 19:59 |
| ELFrederich | matsaman, I see they're both actually using vim via symlinks. One is vim.tiny and the other is vim.basic | 19:59 |
| matsaman | ELFrederich: yes vim provisions a cut-down and more vi-like version | 20:00 |
| ELFrederich | matsaman, what is the proper way to enable vim.basic instead of vim.tiny? | 20:00 |
| matsaman | ELFrederich: is using 'vim' instead of 'vi' not doing that? | 20:01 |
| ELFrederich | I'll install vim | 20:01 |
| maret | why is mounting drives automatically bad idea? I want to use them after start (I want my script to store data there) | 20:01 |
| ELFrederich | update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/vim.basic to provide /usr/bin/vi (vi) in auto mode | 20:02 |
| ELFrederich | matsaman, installing vim fixed that | 20:02 |
| matsaman | maret: because what if you have your system configured to auto-run things | 20:02 |
| matsaman | maret: there are thousands of possible variables to account for | 20:02 |
| matsaman | maret: but if it's a drive -you- know and trust, and use regularly, go ahead and configure it | 20:02 |
| matsaman | maret: it's bad for the _default_ behavior of the OS to be to automount, that's all | 20:03 |
| matsaman | ELFrederich: good then? | 20:03 |
| maret | yeah its literally 2nd internal drive of my PC | 20:03 |
| matsaman | maret: add it to fstab with the auto param | 20:04 |
| sarnold | maret: there are probably hundreds or thousands of bugs in kernel fileysstem drivers that can be reached by mounting a filesystem | 20:04 |
| === pakxo_ is now known as pakxo | ||
| sarnold | maret: automounting filesystems exposes all those filesystem drivers to whoever can supply a usb stick | 20:04 |
| oerheks | if that drive is dirty/contains errors, then mounting could be an issue | 20:05 |
| sarnold | maret: this is one of the reasons why server admins don't want automount -- they also don't want someone walking past their machines to be able to mount new executables or device nodes etc into the filesystem, but that'd also require having some level of control over processes on the system | 20:05 |
| sarnold | maret: but mounting a filesystem with constructed maliciousness in it potentially allows attackers to execute code directly in the kernel without any interaction at all | 20:05 |
| oerheks | put that drive in your fstab, enough guides online howto do that | 20:06 |

| flrnd | have you tried: apt search libopencv :P | 21:12 |
| oerheks | opencv maybe? | 21:13 |
| leftyfb | guzzlefry: Ubuntu 18.04 has libopencv-contrib3.2 which includes libopencv_text.so.3.2. Ubuntu 20.04 has libopencv-contrib4.2 which includes libopencv_text.so.4.2 | 21:15 |

| V|A | hi there | 21:35 |
| V|A | how do i go about installing an app as non root? | 21:35 |
| V|A | all the howtos i see start with "sudo ... | 21:35 |
| sarnold | what's your goal? | 21:36 |
| flrnd | first, what "app"? Is it a .deb package? a flatpack? a tar.gz with statick linked lins? | 21:36 |
| V|A | it was a general question flrnd | 21:36 |
| flrnd | s/lins/libs | 21:36 |
| V|A | be it from repository or having the app binary local. how do i instal las non.root ? | 21:37 |
| flrnd | depends, I have a .local dir where I uncompress tarballs from specific pieces of software. Like android studio, android sdk, flutter sdk. etc | 21:37 |
| V|A | uncompressing doesnt help me | 21:38 |
| flrnd | you can't install non.root from repos | 21:38 |
| flrnd | easy as that | 21:38 |
| V|A | sarnold: my goal is to install applications as non-root, glad you asked! <3 | 21:38 |
| V|A | ic flrnd. so does the difference lie in execution ? | 21:39 |
| sarnold | V|A: aha! then you can download or compile whatever you want and stuff it into your ~/bin directory | 21:43 |
| V|A | no i cannot im new to linux, if i could i wouldnt be askign for support ._. | 21:43 |
| V|A | i have hexchat running in snapd/ well its installed in this directory | 21:44 |
| V|A | i was told its not smart to run as sudo and i agree but i never intended to | 21:44 |
| sarnold | sure, but if you have sufficient privileges on the system and want to install an application that's been packaged for you already, using those privileges to install the package for all users on the computer can make sense | 21:47 |
| sarnold | if you don't have adminstrative privileges, then you can install and run things from your home directory | 21:47 |
| V|A | only one user here | 21:47 |
| V|A | think i understand the implications of runign something from amore restricted directory, im just wondereing if the implicaitons of using sudo end with instlaling? | 21:49 |
| V|A | cause it doesnt need to be executed as sudo . | 21:49 |
| V|A | but idk | 21:49 |
| sarnold | V|A: the usual pattern is to install a new application with sudo and then use it as your user | 21:49 |
| V|A | i see yes makes sense tx | 21:49 |
| sarnold | V|A: you can generally trust anything in the ubuntu repositories, nearly everything came from debian, and tens of millions of people use these things | 21:49 |
| sarnold | V|A: but when you add ppas or other repositories to your system, you're giving those systems root control over your computer | 21:50 |
| V|A | yep | 21:50 |
| oerheks | Why would we give help with installing as non-root? | 21:50 |
| V|A | why would you oerheks ! here have a cookie <3 | 21:51 |
| oerheks | your complaint 'i was told its not smart to run as sudo' for hexchat is right, but installing needs sudo. period. | 21:52 |
| V|A | flrnd already clarified that for me | 21:52 |
| V|A | what does "snapd" do .. is snapd always root? cause thats the message i got | 21:53 |
| oerheks | is this about hexchat running as root - errors? | 21:55 |
| V|A | no it is not. when have i mentioned hexchat FFS ?! | 21:55 |
| V|A | jeesus | 21:55 |
| V|A | i just love ppl making implications and assumptions | 21:55 |
| sarnold | Tue 23 21:44:27 < V|A> i have hexchat running in snapd/ well its installed in this directory | 21:55 |
| V|A | yeap | 21:56 |
| oerheks | V|A, you are already banned in other ubuntu channel(s), so behave | 21:56 |
| V|A | oerheks really? hope youre fmailiar with what happend in those "other channels" im banned | 21:57 |
| V|A | im trying to find out how to install/run apps as non root as it was pointed out to me that hexchat, which i have installed via snapd (or so i think) runs as root or so | 21:58 |
| V|A | and i never intended to run general apps as non-rot | 21:58 |
| V|A | root* | 21:58 |
| V|A | and dont worry, i will just be one of the other allies you lost because your community is just quite hostile @ oerheks so no worries there | 21:59 |
| matsaman | V|A: I'd just avoid snaps TBH | 21:59 |
| matsaman | hexchat should be available as a regular package | 22:00 |
| V|A | i dont care about hexchat at this poitn before i have looekd at the code or compile it myself | 22:01 |
| frad | somebody here suggested I use mkvmerge to trim video files. Is there a command to do exactly that but with flac files? I don't want to change the size of the file or los information, so audacity is not what I need | 22:06 |
| oerheks | flacsplt http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man1/mp3splt.1.html | 22:10 |
| oerheks | or audacity.. | 22:11 |
| sarnold | I've used dd for that task before | 22:12 |
| YoungChiefBTW | hey | 22:14 |
| frad | I take it that dd and flacsplt do exactly the same? | 22:28 |
| oerheks | i have no clue how dd could do that.. | 22:28 |
| oerheks | sarnold ? | 22:29 |
| sarnold | oerheks: you guess at some numbers, play your song, and if it cuts off too early, make it bigger, if it cuts off too late, make it smaller. binary search your way to the cutoff that you want. :) | 22:32 |
| plufz | Hi! I know very little of gui linux. I’m trying to get a graphics card working (nvidia 1080 ti). I’ve used the closed source drivers and I get error messages from what it seems all apps that try to use the gpu. I get different error messages, often about missing extensions: | 22:33 |

| frad | actually I may be doing this wrong: after using audacity to trim one silent second, size if the file saved as ogg is 33% of the original size. Have I lost audio data? | 22:41 |
| frad | it sounds the same to me, but so does flac and 320 bit mp2 files | 22:41 |
| frad | mp3* | 22:41 |
| frad | of the saved file* | 22:41 |
| oerheks | i think you need to export it as flac? not save as | 22:43 |
| frad | oerheks, I dont see that option | 22:43 |

| frad | my command: mp3splt -s '01 - Heart'.flac output.flac ... 00:01-EOF | 22:54 |
| frad | I dont need to add [] to each part, right? | 22:55 |
| frad | and what do I do with ...? | 22:55 |
| sarnold | frad: you don't type the [] cahrs | 22:58 |
| frad | .w cahrs | 22:59 |
| frad | I find it sad that the syntaxis doesn't fir the examples, which work | 23:02 |
| frad | fit | 23:02 |
| frad | in this syntax there should be [] cahrs also around FILE1, correct? | 23:03 |
| sarnold | in this example, the first FILE1 is *not* optional; the other files are optional | 23:05 |
| frad | oh, so [] means optional files, right | 23:05 |
| frad | where would a beginner find how to understand this syntaxis? | 23:06 |
| frad | and it is assumed I have to name the output file... | 23:07 |
