[03:23] (not a server, just a laptop i use from time to time) [03:25] BadBoyHaloCat: depending your needs, LTS vs non-lts its the users choice [03:25] just depends on how lazy you "plan" on being about updates [03:25] i usually update as soon as I see one [03:26] you can always wipe out the OS part of a system and update it that way, if you forget to update too long, doesn't take very long at all [03:26] BadBoyHaloCat: usualy newer hardware benefits later ubuntu releases, due higher kernels [03:26] but there's also !HWE to fix things [03:26] is the fact that the rtl8821ce driver broken a kernel-level problem or Ubuntu-related? [03:27] BadBoyHaloCat: realtek chipsets are kernel sensitive [03:27] alright now i understand why all the distros i tried didn't have a working driver [03:27] i tried Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, and custom-built arch [03:28] matsaman: is that why people keep /home separate? [03:37] BadBoyHaloCat: some people do mistakenly consider that justification, yes [03:37] BadBoyHaloCat: you don't need separate /home to do that, however [03:38] mostly separate partitions are useful for differing FSes [04:28] need help.

I'm having a PC that dual boots Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.10; However, Ubuntu is on an HDD, and Windows is on an SSD. I'd like to speed Ubuntu up using 55Gb unallocated space on SSD. What's the best way to do that? Thanks! [08:48] Simplar, I can't provide any advice on 'best' way; I'd likely setup the partition I wanted on the SSD, copy the data wanted from your Ubuntu partition(s) to the formatted SSD partition(s), then an unclean install (existing partition(s), no format, upgrade via re-install like) into the SSD ... but that's one option only. I have no experience on moving boot with dual-boot system & windows 10 sorry [08:50] Any ideas what's up with this? This works fine: sed -i "s/{AWSUSER}/$AWSUSER/g" /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd [08:50] this does not: sed -i "s/{AWSPASS}/$AWSPASS/g" /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd [08:50] I get an error: sed: bad option in substitution expression [08:51] they both look exactly the same to me, so I'm not sure what's going on...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:57] I'm on Ubuntu 20.10. have set it up with zfs on my laptop [14:58] and mirroring the rpool on an external hard disk, which i sometimes have to disconnect. After reconnecting, it resilvers. So far , as expected. [14:58] But it takes ages to resilver, and i think that cannot be right. [14:59] 300GB. it's been resilvering for almost 3 days without interruption now, and still less than 20% completion [15:00] I know, usb ain't fast, but can it really take weeks to resilver 300GB? [15:02] it would bother me less, if i could just use the omputer normally during that time, but I can't, because it is very unresponsive. Even renaming a simple text file can take up to a minute [15:07] andyyyyy: it sounds like this isn't a very good backup solution. You should just backup what you need on a nightly basis.

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [16:35] So, it's safe to format drives if my Windows Boot Manager is isolated (UEFI GPT)? [16:38] thanks, leftyfb . what i like about my solution is that i don't have to worry about which files are important and which not or if i maybe forgot something important, as i back up everything [16:39] andyyyyy: it's not a good solution for many reasons. The main one being at the moment it's not working for you due to the resilvering taking long or slowing your machine down while in process. A backup script would not require you to remember to plug the drive in and render your computer unsuable every so often. [16:40] true [16:41] but couldn't i nonetheless backup everything with the script? [16:41] andyyyyy: yes, but you don't need to [16:41] andyyyyy: you only need your home and maybe some things in /etc that you are aware of [16:42] and the list of installed packages [16:42] their settings are not always in /home tho [16:46] andyyyyy: they usually are. You should note the ones that aren't. [16:46] ok [16:46] andyyyyy: I'm in the process of creating an ansible playbook to rebuild my laptop whenever I want to wipe it and start over [16:47] what's a playbook? [16:47] automatically rebuilding with all my preferred programs and libraries and settings / so that you can just resume as it was, would be cool [16:49] andyyyyy: look into ansible [16:49] it's a bit of work especially when you first get started. But once you get the hang of it, just start making a todo list of everything and pick them off 1 at a time [16:49] I currently don't like the way the scrolling works. it's upside down. I must now ask here how to change it. if i reinstall my system and backup my photos and documents, I'll again be at the point where it scrolls the wrong way and I'll have forgotten how to change it and will have to come here again to ask [16:50] ok, I'll look into ansible. So i shpuld use that instead of dejadup? I tihnk dejadup is what's installedchere - but not yet using it [16:53] andyyyyy: ansible will be used to reinstall all your applications, maybe rewrite your configs as opposed to just copying them from a backup. Then you can tell ansible to restore your files [16:53] Can I have the link for modern GRUB themes which are compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 / 20.10 ? [16:57] leftyfb, thx. so that's more for the system part. but for data i'd still need something else. do you recommend dejadup ? is it good? [16:57] andyyyyy: maybe. I've never used it, I wrote my own script [17:01] i'm not good w scripts [17:02] what scripts? [17:04] andyyyyy: then try out deja. I would HIGHLY recommend whatever solution(s) you go with, you test by wiping the machine and restoring. A backup is only as good as being able to restore from it [17:59] How do I add a custom desktop shortcut to an app in ubuntu?

[19:44] Yes I know just hit enter, but I don't want to wait 30 secs when I turn on the PC and do some other stuff, now the screen may be helpful but I'd only want it in case when I actually want it, like a hotkey for advanced boot. [19:46] try the 2 steps i posted? [19:51] Sure, but now I recalled I did some modifications to grub and forgot, I think I kept a log on system customizations somewhere but I kinda forgot now. [19:52] We should not blame clonezilla, nor grub nor an update, but your lack of information [19:52] good luck === Napsterbater_ is now known as Napsterbater [19:53] I did not put the boot screen there, but I did booted both the original and cloned disk which did produce weird behavior, perhaps that made grub start showing a boot screen [19:55] Basically what was happening was, I would boot into my cloned disk, then it would show up the boot screen, then due to UUIDs most likely it started loading up the system from the HDD (because it goes slower so I know) but then that boot makes weird errors like Failure to Load Kernel Modules. [20:01] etc/default/grub is all fine, same as I had it on the HDD, no timeout [20:06] if i don't like the direction the scrolling goes in gnome, where do i change it? [20:06] i.e. scrolling down should move down on the page, not up [20:07] Natural scrolling? Should be on mouse / touchpad settings. [20:07] currently, it moves the page down, which means I'm going up in the page [20:08] thx, eliocamp. it used to work correclty, and i didnt change anything, but after a reboot it was all inverted [20:41] oerheks: well someone put this in grub.cfg, and it wasn't me https://pastebin.com/CAhBKNJD [20:44] Zuroger-KUB20: That is part of one of the grub config scripts [20:48] I am trying to create an image using Packer based on the Ubuntu 20.04 live image but not sure what the username and password are for Packer's ssh_username and ssh_password fields. [20:49] Well, actually I forgot to see how it looked like before I ran update-grub, so this was after update grub, then I diffed with the old one on the HDD (which clonezilla didn't touch, just read, and the one that wasn't updated to newer kernel) [20:49] Hey guys, I'm trying to follow this tutorial to add SSL to my Ubuntu 20.04: https://www.vultr.com/docs/wildcard-lets-encrypt-ssl-for-one-click-lamp => but in step (3) Install SSL Certificate for Apache I do not have /etc/apache2/ssl/ folder, what am I doing wrong? [20:50] mrproper, packer is not in our repos? [20:50] oh it is, as snap [20:51] supremekai: perhaps the guide was written with a different distribution in mind, that happens from time to time [20:51] oerheks: I'm not using packer on that system locally but want to build Ubuntu using it. [20:51] this sppet gives a clue: ubuntu: ubuntu https://imagineer.in/blog/packer-build-for-ubuntu-20-04/ [20:51] sarnold, oh, how can I find the ssl folder of my distro? in ubuntu 20.04 [20:51] c/snippet [20:51] or is there a default one? [20:52] supremekai: /etc/ssl/private/ I believe [20:52] @oerheks Thanks I'll have to take a look into it further. I've tried that and it didn't work so something else may be up. [20:53] i would use cubic for live iso editting [20:53] jeremy31: I think this is a false alarm, this is made by grub-update, it detected another Ubuntu install on my USB Sata Adapter, bah I need to do this without having that connected [20:53] thnks sarnold ! [20:54] Zuroger-KUB20: That would trigger the grub menu at boot [20:55] if i can search youtube videos on my phone and have them open on the tv, then somehow the tv has a way to "listen". Can I also use that way for somehow sharing my ubuntu laptop's screen on that tv, like for watching videos or conferences? [20:56] Thing is, it's not 10 secs, but 30 secs, the first grub-update could have gotten rid of the 30 second one that was created by simply boot process detecting 2 linuxes or something, so I'll just run the grub-update again. [20:56] Zuroger-KUB20: 30 seconds might be recordfail triggered [20:58] Yeah, it wouldn't be surprising, but funnily it only happened on the cloned disk, the one that I updated once I finished cloning, it wouldn't boot right if I had both of them connected sharing the same partition UUIDs [20:59] So it was weird in other ways too, booting into the cloned one in the BIOS screen would switch it over to the original one somehow, with various errors in the boot process, I thought I would have to fix those and redo the cloning wasting the whole afternoon. [21:00] There's probably some kind of a writeup or warning in the community help/resources outthere it's not a good idea booting identical UUIDs right? So this was expected to happen. If not, perhaps it looks like a bug to be fixed if it's not suppose to happen. [21:00] Kernel Modules would fail to load, was one of the boot issues, even tho once booted it looked and worked normal (well I didn't stay logged on for long) [21:01] Im using Ubuntu server 20.10. Should I be concerned that every time I log into Ubuntu, I see a message that says that there is 1 zombie process. Even after rebooting, it does not go away [21:04] devslash: it's probably not a big deal; check ps auxwZ to see what proccess it is, that'll help [21:06] when I run that command, it lists many processes [21:06] how do I know which one is the zombie [21:07] its not like I can do ps auxwZ | grep brains [21:08] i grepped zombit and found a process [21:08] devslash: oh sheesh, sorry :) I've got a new keyhboard.. and screwed up my input and was happy when I got that much right [21:08] unconfined root 1893283 0.0 0.0 6432 2524 pts/0 S+ 14:08 0:00 grep --color=auto zombie [21:08] the rest is | grep Z [21:08] heh, bummer, that's the grep itself [21:08] Yep, works fine now! [21:12] how can i make ubuntu boot faster? I think ten minutes until login screen is a bit much [21:12] what version of ubuntu ? [21:13] 20.10 [21:13] have you looked at the start up tasks after logging in [21:13] no, how? [21:14] window key to search then start typing start [21:14] i think the snapd and apt slow it down most [21:14] i dont remember the exact name that shows up [21:14] but that is AFTER login [21:14] snap sucks IMO [21:14] andyyyyy: whats your system [21:14] wait [21:14] do you mean 10 minutes to get to the ubuntu login or 10 minutes after you log in [21:15] found Startprogramme [21:15] my PC is 1 second to login and 5 seconds to GNOME [21:15] I mean 10 minutes from swtiching on or reboot, until gdm login screen [21:15] wow [21:16] from there, meaning after logging in, another 5 minutes while the system is kinda busy [21:16] thats a long time [21:16] how old is your PC? [21:16] and what PC is it? [21:16] so if I want to open firefox and my laptop is off, i switch it on and can use firefox only >15 minutes later [21:16] press escape and see what it is doing [21:17] it's a laptop. not the newest [21:17] some process doing funny stuf probably [21:17] using ubuntu 20.10 with encrypted zfs, if that matters [21:17] it's a lenovo thinkpad [21:17] what processor does it have and how much ram [21:18] esc on bootup gives me a black screen iwth all the things it's starting up [21:18] I am using Ubuntu 20.10, don't know what ZFS is, on an Acer Aspire 3 bought April 2020 [21:18] many snap mountings [21:18] many ordering cycles found and skippings [21:18] no not on on boot but when it's in this waiting mode [21:18] andyyyyy: maybe calm down on the number of snaps... see what that does [21:18] 8GB ram, processor i dont know right now [21:19] your exact model can tell us the processor and stuff [21:19] andyyyyy: check your dmesg output for hardware failure, check smartctl if you have sata hard drives [21:20] is there a command for excat model in temrinal? [21:20] cat /proc/cpuinfo will tell us cpu [21:20] smartctl says all disks are passing [21:20] sarnold: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz [21:21] or do you want the entire output which is two screens? [21:21] no, that one line is best :D [21:21] https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/47341/intel-core-i5-520m-processor-3m-cache-2-40-ghz.html [21:22] since ubuntu pushes those snaps, i thought they're good. and if find some things as snaps that i dont find with apt. so i thought snap is the preferred way nowadays [21:23] 2010 cpu, I'm going to gues sit's probably booting to a harddrive rather than an ssd? that'll hurt.. but it shouldn't be ten minutes painful' [21:23] andyyyyy: how's dmesg look? [21:23] andyyyyy: Install apt version where possible. It's better than snap. [21:23] hard drive, yes [21:23] andyyyyy, i think that if you ask in here, most people will tell you that they dont use snap [21:23] VMGuy23, ok [21:23] ive had permission issues when using snap packages [21:24] devslash, ok. I'll prefer apt then [21:24] It's better than snap ? [21:25] snap has it's own mount point, harder to access config, access problems. Apt is better [21:25] access problems are good available in systemsettings. [21:25] sarnold: dmesg is a ton of text. mainly, what i could see now quickly, UFW and apparmor [21:26]
