| overclucker | latk: you could switch to mounting by UUID if you are having issues with /dev/sda,b,c,.. getting mixed up | 08:12 |
| latk | overclucker: It isn't that I have also mounted something else in fstab -- that line works -- it is more that something else (maybe docker?) has overriden the mount. | 08:25 |
| latk | and I can't work out what | 08:25 |

| etronik | I'm upgrading darktable on my Ubuntu 20.04 but still shows 2.4.4 as the latest (3.4.1 is the actual latest), even after following instructions at https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=graphics:darktable&package=darktable | 10:12 |
| arther181 | I have extracked initrd using unmkinitramfs but unable to pack it again. Can anyone please help me how to pack it? Ubuntu 20.04. | 10:16 |
| Maik | !latest | 10:26 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 10:26 |
| Maik | etronik: ^ | 10:26 |
| Maik | installing software from outside the repo's isn't really supported and at own risk | 10:27 |
| etronik | Maik, so how do I override the main repositories to account for the latest version ? | 10:27 |
| Maik | i don't know, but why do you actually need the newest release of it? | 10:30 |
| cbreak | you can always install stuff on the side, outside the package manager | 10:30 |
| cbreak | just don't use the normal locations for it | 10:30 |
| etronik | Maik, why new release is because the current one is dreadfully old ! and cbreak don't want to install stuff on the side to benefit from updates | 10:31 |
| etronik | I think you can understand that it's my judgement call no ? | 10:31 |
| etronik | it's not like I'm installing stuff willy nilly ! | 10:32 |
| cbreak | 3.4.1-1build1 will be in 21.04 | 10:32 |
| etronik | is 21.04 LTS ? | 10:32 |
| cbreak | no | 10:32 |
| Maik | no | 10:32 |
| cbreak | sounds like you don't want lts | 10:33 |
| cbreak | you want features | 10:33 |
| etronik | nop, I just don't want to update releases every now and then | 10:33 |
| cbreak | -> features | 10:33 |
| cbreak | updating releases is what gives you new feature releases | 10:33 |
| etronik | I'm having difficulty undrstanding your resistance :-) | 10:33 |
| cbreak | you get to decide :) | 10:34 |
| cbreak | basically, it's your choice: | 10:34 |
| cbreak | do you want new feature releases? Then upgrade | 10:34 |
| cbreak | or not? Then stay with an LTS, which is intended to NOT give you new feature releases | 10:34 |
| Maik | or use Snap versions of the software you use | 10:34 |
| cbreak | but instead to keep everything as stable as possible | 10:34 |
| etronik | so you're saying you don't have ANY outside repos ? | 10:34 |
| cbreak | I'm not using LTS | 10:34 |
| cbreak | and when I want stuff that's not in the repos, I install it on the side | 10:35 |
| Maik | etronik: if you want the latest and greatest go rolling release :) | 10:35 |
| Maik | ubuntu as said, aims for stability | 10:36 |
| etronik | but I dont want the latest and greatest! I carefully choose what stuff I want - for this particular purpose I want the latest release - it's a photo management app - low risk | 10:36 |
| Maik | have a look at the Snap version then | 10:36 |
| cbreak | normal ubuntu is not that modular | 10:37 |
| etronik | feels like you're discussing a purist form of usage, and I want to understand why after following instructions, something that was supposed to work is failing... | 10:38 |
| Maik | then why did they include snap store from 20.04 onward.... | 10:38 |
| cbreak | etronik: who knows | 10:40 |
| etronik | how do I know what version of darktable is on the snapstore ? | 10:40 |
| cbreak | you're the one that has the ability to check symptoms | 10:40 |
| cbreak | you're the on that can read the output of apt update | 10:40 |
| Maik | etronik: open ubuntu software and search or look here https://snapcraft.io/ | 10:41 |
| cbreak | it should tell you things | 10:41 |
| etronik | cbreak, of course I can, I was asking for help, then depending of the questions, I would provide the requested symptom - but all I got was a evagelization | 10:41 |
| etronik | Maik, it doesn't show version... I searched for darkatbel | 10:42 |
| etronik | darktable | 10:42 |
| cbreak | etronik: apt update should tell you which sources it reads from | 10:42 |
| cbreak | does it read the source you gave it? | 10:42 |
| Maik | etronik: https://snapcraft.io/darktable | 10:42 |
| etronik | ahh in little corner it says latest 3.2.1 - woefully outdated also | 10:43 |
| Maik | i for one do not support install software from outside the repo's, so i won't be able to assist further | 10:44 |

| frad | Im comparing how much cpu x265 and x264 videos consume to be played. I found that x265 files need less cpu than x264, even if x265 files are longer than the x264. But what I don't understand is why the notebook's fan spins faster when I play the x264. Shouldn | 13:16 |
| frad | t it be the other way round? | 13:16 |
| cbreak | frad: ? | 13:17 |
| cbreak | fan speed is influenced by temperature, which is related to power consumption | 13:17 |
| cbreak | cpu usage is related to power consumption too | 13:18 |
| cbreak | using a CPU uses more power than idling | 13:18 |
| cbreak | how much cpu is used to decode a movie depends on many factors, such as how optimized the decoder is, the algorithm used for encoding, the data rate, ... | 13:19 |

| Mohnish | Hey everyone, I have a problem. I have a laptop with windows 7 and ubuntu studio 16.10 installed on it. I wish to install ubuntu 20.04 LTS on it in place of 16.10, since there is no way to upgrade it from the system itself, I'm gonna install ubuntu 20.04 from a bootable usb drive. I wanted to know if the automated installer would be able to detect the windows installation and 16.10 installation and | 13:52 |
| Mohnish | install in place of 16.10 leaving windows 7 untouched | 13:52 |
| Mohnish | or, if i have to go with the custom installation, what would be the process? | 13:53 |
| Mohnish | basically, I want to install 20.04 in place of 16.10 leaving the windows 7 installation untouched | 13:59 |
| Ravage | the installer should detect it. if you choose a manual partition layout you can select which partitions will be touch. a backup is recommended anyway of course | 14:03 |
| Mohnish | sorry, had some network interruptions | 14:03 |
| Ravage | it may be even easier for the installer to remove the ubuntu partitions from windows so it detects empty space to install to | 14:04 |
| leftyfb | Mohnish: I would wipe the ubuntu 16.01 partition(s) and install 20.04 in it's place. It should leave Windows untouched if done properly | 14:04 |
| Mohnish | oh, okay | 14:04 |
| Mohnish | leftyfb: hmm, so what should I be careful about while doing this? | 14:05 |
| leftyfb | Mohnish: just make sure you can restore from backup in case anything goes wrong | 14:05 |
| Mohnish | I guess what I can do is, delete the ubuntu 16.10 partitions and make it seem like unallocated space, and then install 20.04? | 14:05 |
| leftyfb | Mohnish: that said, you do understand Windows 7 became EOL well over a year ago. 5 years after Windows 10 was released. You really shouldn't be running that anymore. | 14:06 |
| Mohnish | leftyfb: yeah, I understand, but its not my laptop, it's my professor's :D | 14:06 |
| leftyfb | Mohnish: even worse | 14:07 |
| leftyfb | Mohnish: professors should have the ability to upgrade to Windows 10 for free | 14:07 |
| Mohnish | lol why? | 14:07 |
| Mohnish | oh | 14:07 |
| Ravage | what lefty said. i manged to activate the paid windows 7 updates in a VM though. just to see if it can be done. my VM has updates from this month now | 14:07 |
| Mohnish | Ravage: oh | 14:07 |
| Ravage | but yeah.. you should really upgrade to windows 10 | 14:08 |
| leftyfb | Mohnish: either way, good luck with the Ubuntu 20.04 install | 14:08 |
| Mohnish | So, deleting the 16.10 partitions, then installing 20.04 should work, right? | 14:09 |
| Ravage | i havent done it in a while. but the ubuntu installer usally detects any existing windows installation | 14:09 |
| Ravage | it should offer you to install on the free space | 14:09 |
| Mohnish | hmm, yeah | 14:10 |
| Ravage | it will show you what changes it will do to your partitions. just make sure it keeps windows untouched | 14:10 |
| Mohnish | should I try all this in a vm first and then on the machine later? | 14:10 |
| tieinv | backup first | 14:11 |
| Ravage | yep. backup | 14:11 |
| Ravage | use clonezilla or any other backup tool | 14:11 |
| Mohnish | hmm | 14:11 |
| Ravage | if it is not even your computer better be safe than sorry | 14:12 |
| Mohnish | yeah | 14:12 |
| Mohnish | I'll backup first | 14:12 |
| Ravage | clonezilla can backup to a USB drive or even on a network share | 14:12 |
| tieinv | backup should be restorable | 14:12 |
| Mohnish | the problem is that the laptop's hard drive is 1tb in size, and I don't have a storage medium of that large size | 14:13 |
| EriC^^ | Mohnish: from the installer if you do manual partitioning you should be good, though if you delete the ubuntu partition/choose to format it the home dir will be removed, does he not care about his files? | 14:16 |
| leftyfb | Mohnish: at least backup the user directory from the Windows partition. Having no backup is begging for data loss | 14:17 |
| Mohnish | he barely has any files in ubuntu 16.10, so backing up those would be easy, most of his stuff is on his windows installation | 14:18 |
| Mohnish | yeah, I'll have to find a way to backup before I make a move | 14:18 |

| tomreyn | amazoniantoad: journalctl is the CLI to access system logs (ther eis also a GUI application called "Logs").

| tomreyn | atal: you can manually unpack the initramfs (unmkinitramfs), then add your file / modify things as needed, and repack it (mkinitramfs). but the better approach is probably to add a hook for update-initramfs | 16:07 |

| Febass | Hello? | 17:35 |
| magic_ninja | Febass, you gotta just hang out a while, and someone will answer when they see it. You new to IRC? | 17:40 |
| unamear | you'll be lucky if you get one message every hour | 17:40 |
| magic_ninja | It's more of a place where you throw out your question, and if someone has an idea, they will help. | 17:41 |
| Febass | I know, I am just frustrated | 17:42 |
| Febass | Like I have limmited free time and I just want to play games | 17:42 |
| Febass | I work 7 days this week | 17:42 |
| magic_ninja | Febass, try out this software: https://gitlab.com/evtest-qt/evtest-qt | 17:43 |
| magic_ninja | The website says something about their interface being out of date as of 2 years ago and says you might want to try that software out. | 17:43 |
| goodTimesImmort | Are xubuntu questions ok in this room? | 17:47 |
| Febass | magic_ninja: I am getting errors | 17:48 |
| magic_ninja | Febass, copy the errors, and post them here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/ . Then, share URL of that post with us. Don't post a bunch of terminal output in the channel, as it will be flagged as spam. | 17:51 |
| rfm | goodTimesImmort, yes, xubuntu is an official flavor | 17:51 |
| nuala | Febass: I am sure someone has used xbox (one, 360 420?) controlle rbefore. also what ubuntu version and ubuntu-xboxdrv version? | 17:52 |
| nuala | (prolly best putting that also in the paste ^^) | 17:52 |
| Febass | magic_ninja: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Sg5GWCDY3Y/ | 17:54 |
| Febass | nuala: The newest version | 17:55 |
| magic_ninja | Febass, it needs qt4, but I'm not familiar enough with the process to guide you through that. I'm not even sure if you can install multiple versions side-by-side. | 18:02 |
| Febass | argh | 18:06 |
| Febass | Well, thanks for your help anyways magic_ninja | 18:06 |
| jjbuggle | Im trying to use 2 programs at once, and I want a keyboard shortcut to apply to the program not select. Possible? I'm trying to type up a transcription and I would like to control the audio player without having to mouse over to it and highlight it | 18:09 |
| tomreyn | jjbuggle: you can assign keybindings to xdotool | 18:27 |
| jjbuggle | tomreyn: oh isee, so setup some custom commands to target a window | 18:39 |
| tomreyn | right | 18:40 |
| koffeinfriedhof | Febass: Don't know anything about xbox-controls but for Qt5 you need to 'apt install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools clang-11' | 18:44 |
| sybariten | Hey, anyone wanna try and install the "enhanced cp" command "gcp" from repos? I get serious errors wehen trying to use it and i don't know if maybe i'¨m doing something wrong | 19:23 |
| sybariten | as in, i get python errors | 19:23 |
| holgersson | sybariten: Hi, please provide a full error message. Python errors (traces) are typically longer than 3 lines, so I recommend to use a nopaste service, e.g. https://psty.io | 19:35 |
| holgersson | sybariten: You could run (inside a terminal emulator) 'gcp &> /tmp/gcp-output' to redirect everything (stdout and stderr) into the file /tmp/gcp-output and paste the contents afterwards. | 19:35 |
| sybariten | holgersson: okaj kommer | 19:42 |
| Peng | sarnold: I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ddeb-retriever/+bug/1922451 just in case it might be useful. | 19:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1922451 in ddeb-retriever "irssi-dbgsym missing for focal-updates" [Undecided,New] | 19:43 |
| sybariten | holgersson: seriously though, why is _every_ one on IRC recommending a different paste service? | 19:50 |
| sybariten | here's a problem i'm getting running the "improved" cp command gcp : https://pastebin.com/5mxL7XbR | 19:50 |
| holgersson | sybariten: It's just way better to use. | 19:51 |
| sybariten | it has the same syntax as cp, but with some extra snazzy stuff added | 19:51 |
| holgersson | sybariten: ah, why a *different*? They are just tools like a screwdriver. Take the one you know and that's currently not broken ;-) | 19:52 |
| holgersson | sybariten: I'm mostly a gentoo user and "we" recommend that py-thing and I know it's working, so I recommended it. Personally I'm using filebin on paste.xinu.at, but you need an account there, so I can't openly recommend it :] | 19:53 |
| sybariten | holgersson:yeah, wanted something with a bit more output. This one can actually change characters on the destination drive if there seems to be charset problems | 19:54 |
| sybariten | holgersson:ah, forget it, i misunderstood | 19:54 |
| sybariten | anyhow, the gcp command seems broken at my place. Installed with sudo apt-get install gcp | 19:55 |
| leftyfb | sybariten: you should file a bug with gcp | 19:55 |
| leftyfb | !bug | sybariten | 19:55 |
| ubottu | sybariten: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 19:55 |
| holgersson | sybariten: yep, as leftyfb says, this is a bug. | 19:56 |
| leftyfb | looks like it's been a bug for almost 10 years https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678477 | 19:56 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 678477 in virt-manager "DeprecationWarning: Importing dbus.glib to use the GLib main loop with dbus-python is deprecated" [Minor,Open] | 19:56 |
| holgersson | I guess you could redirect the stderr output to dev-null as a workaround | 19:56 |
| sybariten | holgersson:uh dang you're right it did actually make the copy | 19:57 |
| leftyfb | oh wait, that's virt-manager | 19:57 |
| sybariten | leftyfb:is this considered a bug "in ubuntu"? even though i installed a package? | 19:58 |
| leftyfb | sybariten: yes | 19:58 |
| holgersson | sybariten: did you install it out of the official repos? | 19:59 |
| holgersson | e.g. with "apt install gcp" | 19:59 |
| sybariten | holgersson: uhhhyeeeah, i cant rememeber adding any repo or antyhign no. I mean you could prolly just try it yourself, it's 150 k or so | 20:02 |
| holgersson | sybariten: I'm not on Ubuntu right now, but gcp 0.2.1 on gentoo runs fine :-P | 20:05 |
| holgersson | sybariten: What's your version on Ubuntu? "gcp --version | head -n1" and no need for a paste ;-) | 20:05 |
| sybariten | holgersson: in that case this may be because i'm running a rather special setup, ubuntu 20 but live (but persistent) | 20:08 |
| holgersson | sybariten: I wrote that it works on *gentoo* - that's a completly different linux distribution | 20:13 |
| holgersson | I'm just curious if it's maybe just due to an old version inside ubuntu | 20:13 |
| sybariten | holgersson: i can try it on another machine | 20:17 |
| Batoeh | Hello I recently rebooted my computer and I somehow broke xorg. I am running 20.10 using 5.8.0-48-lowlatency kernel. Nvidia version 390.141. I am in tmux and have access to lynx but I am sorry I forget how to copy and paste here. | 20:18 |
| holgersson | sybariten: I can confirm your bug inside a ubuntu 20.10 VM. Please file a bug report. | 20:25 |
| cbreak | is there already an exact release day, hour and minute for 21.04? :) | 20:27 |
| Batoeh | brb trying something real quick | 20:30 |
| sybariten | holgersson: ha! similar glib error on a different machine, a Ubuntu server v20 . So its prolly a real bug then | 20:32 |
| sybariten | ok will look into how bugs are filed | 20:32 |
| holgersson | cbreak: ymmd! | 20:33 |
| holgersson | cbreak: but not to forget about the second! | 20:34 |
| Bashing-om | !bug | sybariten | 20:34 |
| ubottu | sybariten: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 20:34 |
| sybariten | next question .... the automounting in ubuntu, is that mechanism a complicated story? | 20:34 |
| sybariten | heres what i do. 1.) i boot up a live Ubuntu OS, I am then the user xubuntu 2.) i set up a new user jake and set up ssh access to that 3.) i mount some disks under the jake user, to /mnt/ 4. i insert a cdrom. But that cd now gets mounted "by" xubuntu user i guess, under /media .... so i guess i need to sudo to do certain copy things | 20:35 |
| sybariten | would it be possible to "move" the automount behaviour from user xubuntu to user jake, for a cdrom, and also have it mount to /mnt/ instead ? | 20:35 |

| courrier | Hey! My Xorg does not show up with 20.04 kernel 5.8 but it works fine with 5.4. I can't find any clue in /var/log/Xorg.* and the regular nomodeset noapic noacpi nospplash irqpoll does not help. Any idea? :( | 23:51 |
