[01:39] <superdreamkilla> what is the number of packages in a base ubuntu install?
[01:41] <sarnold> heh, I haven't seen anyone ask before..
[01:41] <leftyfb> superdreamkilla: I don't think anyone here has that answer. Feel free to install Ubuntu and run: apt list --installed |wc -l
[01:42] <sarnold> there's a .manifest file in https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.10/ for the live installer iso..
[01:42] <sarnold> it includes a bunch of language packs that you'll probably never install, so it'll probably be fewer packages than the manifest lists
[01:43] <sarnold> but you'll get new kernel packages during the security updates, perhaps other new packages during updates, I'm not sure. it'll be close, anyway.
[01:44] <superdreamkilla> Thanks!
[01:44] <superdreamkilla> I think it was about 1200 when I checked long ago
[01:44] <superdreamkilla> Manifest has 1827 lines
[01:45] <leftyfb> superdreamkilla: why do you need to know?
[01:47] <superdreamkilla> I'm trying to compare distros to see if anything is way higher or lower, because I'm curious
[01:58] <Liowenex> superdreamkilla: the Debian "DVD-1" will be the most you'll find
[01:58] <Liowenex> The second largest will be slackware
[01:59] <Liowenex> Also just use Arch if size is a concern, if you want the fattest install possible, then install Debian with everything in tasksel ticked
[02:00] <leftyfb> !ot | Liowenex
[02:00] <Liowenex> leftyfb: I was answering their question
[02:16] <superdreamkilla> Thanks
[03:38] <MrMobius> I just installed ubuntu and my wifi doesn't work. I have the adapter described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1082037/no-wifi-conection-in-hp-pavilion-x360-with-ubuntu-18-04-lts-realtek-rtl8821ce
[03:39] <MrMobius> Would it be possible to download what I need on another computer and copy it over on a flash drive? The computer doesn't have an ethernet port.
[03:44] <pizzaiolo> MrMobius you might be able to if you download the git repo onto the thumbdrive
[03:57] <MrMobius> pizzaiolo, good idea
[03:57] <MrMobius> what about the apt-get for the headers?

[07:29] <gjaekel> I don't know how to solve a package conflict on the task of a release update from Ubuntu-18 to Ubuntu-20, because I'm not familiar with the Debian-like apt package framework. The do-release-upgrade fails in a controlled way during the checks. From the logs, I'm able to recognize a dependency problem. But I don't know how to solve this in a
[07:29] <gjaekel> "constructive" way. I want to avoid things like installing from the scratch. Somebody with good skill here willing to help me?
[07:34] <BenWibking> i am getting a kernel panic when trying to boot the hirsute beta ISO. can anyone help?
[07:37] <rory> BenWibking, please ask in #ubuntu+1 channel
[07:38] <rory> gjaekel, post the output on https://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL here, someone might be able to help then :)
[07:39] <BenWibking> rory thanks!

[07:41] <stdedos> I have a workstation whose update was botched due to a gnome-crash
[07:41] <stdedos> How can I resume it?

[08:10] <makara1> something changed with vertical workspaces in gnome recently for 20.04.2. I can't drag a window into a new workspace below, but I can drag to a new workspace above

[08:38] <friendlyguy> hi there! i am wondering if somebody could help me with an upgrade for mariadb from 10.1 to 10.2? i have a particular problem with an apt sources-list mariadb provides. when i run a "apt update" after adding the sources.list to the sources.list.d directory i get the error: "...Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/debug/i18n/Translation-en_US' as repository "jaddajadda" doesn't have the
[08:38] <friendlyguy> component 'main/debug' (component misspelt in sources.list?)"
[08:39] <friendlyguy> i get that error for a bunch of other files as well.
[08:39] <Habbie> friendlyguy, probably useful to pastebin your sources.list files and the complete error
[08:39] <friendlyguy> oh, forgot to mention: i am on 18.04 lts
[08:40] <friendlyguy> i am following this guide: https://mariadb.com/docs/deploy/upgrade-community-server-cs102-ubuntu18/
[08:43] <friendlyguy> Habbie: yup, you are right!
[08:43] <friendlyguy> here is a paste: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/tRsBDvKggS/
[08:45] <Habbie> so they add main/debug but the repo does not appear to have it - i'd say that's a support question for mariadb (they also have an irc channel) then
[08:45] <Habbie> N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://downloads.mariadb.com/Tools/ubuntu bionic InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
[08:45] <Habbie> but this is a bigger problem
[08:46] <Habbie> are you on i386?
[08:46] <friendlyguy> nope!

[08:49] <avernos> hi
[08:49] <avernos> I have a problem with the ppp interface, I get constant timeouts and the driver hangsup automatically without running the disconnect scripts. I need to run the disconnect scripts, or disable the timeouts/ automatic hangup or else i cannot recover it aftewards, can someone help?
[08:49] <friendlyguy> Habbie: we got rid of the two N: , but the rest stays https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/9Rc5C8KxXf/
[08:49] <Habbie> friendlyguy, right - either remove the debug lines, or ask in #mariadb
[08:57] <friendlyguy> Habbie: i did. unfortunately nobody replied to me yet. is this an error i could work around?
[08:59] <pagios> hello, i am trying to cast from my desktop (linux runnign chrome to my lg smart tv, i am getting avaialble for specific video sites, and icant cast , how can i overcome this?
[09:01] <Habbie> pagios, is your smart tv chromecast compatible or DIAL compatible?
[09:02] <pagios> its an lg 49um74 , not sure
[09:02] <Habbie> https://www.lgwebos.com/topic/6493-chromecast-support-full-in-lg-tv-webos/ suggests it is not chromecast compatible
[09:06] <gjaekel> @rory May you able to help?
[09:11] <rory> with what gjaekel ?
[09:11] <rory> sorry i missed the previous messages
[09:11] <gjaekel> Me too :) Deeper skills concerning the apt package framework
[09:13] <rory> OK please re-share the full output, I missed it earlier gjaekel
[09:14] <gjaekel> IHMO - but i havn't deep skills -- there's something like a circular dependency. At least it's not resolved by the algorithms.
[09:14] <pagios> Habbie, i am able to cast from iphone and android to it
[09:14] <rory> I haven't deep skills either but I've dealt with it before so I can try
[09:15] <pagios> not linux chrome thoguh
[09:16] <gjaekel> @rory: I have to prepare it, it's on another machine. This will take some minutes.
[09:16] <Habbie> pagios, with what apps?
[09:17] <pagios> Habbie, not using apps on mobiles, jsut the standard screensharing feature
[09:18] <Habbie> pagios, ah - casting in apps does not work?
[09:18] <pagios> didnt even try, i am casting the whole phone
[09:18] <pagios> no need to cast from apps for me its ok like that
[09:19] <Habbie> ah, that uses miracast
[09:19] <Habbie> which Chrome does not support I think
[09:19] <pagios> cani cast from firefox /
[09:20] <Habbie> probably not
[09:20] <pagios> so what can i do ? :)
[09:20] <pagios> linux is the issue
[09:20] <Habbie> i don't know - i've told you all i know
[09:20] <gjolly> Hi there, I am sshing to my workstation. When I try to use gpg (to sign my git commits) it fail "error: gpg failed to sign the data". I presume it's because my key is encrypted and I am not prompted to enter my password.
[09:22] <gjolly> Is there any work around that would allow me to enter my password in my terminal?
[09:22] <rory> yes gjolly, try prefixing the gpg command with DISPLAY=""
[09:22] <rory> DISPLAY="" gpg -a -e
[09:22] <rory> etc
[09:24] <rory> There's an answer here which also suggests the program "pinentry-tty" can be used to change it permanently but I've never tried that.
[09:24] <rory> https://superuser.com/q/520980/82859
[09:28] <gjolly> rory: thanks for you reply. Trying to remove git from the equation, I tried: "echo 'test' | DISPLAY='' gpg --sign". And I get "gpg: signing failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
[09:29] <rory> I'm not 100% sure that's where the DISPLAY belongs, can you try running this which will set it for the remainder of the bash session: export DISPLAY=""
[09:29] <rory> then run your original command which failed
[09:30] <gjaekel> rory: I'm very sorry, but I just got some very urgent private task and maybe have to break here.
[09:30] <rory> If this fails I recommend you try that program: sudo apt install pinentry-tty; sudo update-alternatives --config pinentry
[09:30] <rory> select pinentry-tty from the list
[09:31] <rory> np, I'm sure one of those will work, the answers were upvoted a lot
[09:31] <gjaekel> rory: Damn ... :(
[09:31] <rory> That link again https://superuser.com/questions/520980/how-to-force-gpg-to-use-console-mode-pinentry-to-prompt-for-passwords
[09:33] <rory> oops gjaekel is not gjolly
[09:49] <gjolly> So in the end I just had to do "export GPG_TTY=$(tty)". Thank you for you help anyway!
[09:59] <pagios> hey guys, do you know of any terminal that would allow me to configure triggers? for example when i write ssh test@domain.com i get a popup window that allows me to choose a user/pass etc

[10:54] <de-facto> how do i completely remove snap with everything related?
[10:56] <de-facto> snap list gives me "core18 lxd snapd"
[10:56] <lotuspsychje> de-facto: sudo apt purge snapd should remove all
[10:57] <de-facto> but then i cant use any lxd anymore i guess
[10:58] <de-facto> yeah anyhow i want to get rid of snap, regardless of the price
[11:02] <cbreak> de-facto: you might want to `apt remove snapd` when you're done removing the snaps too then
[11:02] <cbreak> no idea how much breaks when you do that :)
[11:03] <de-facto> i did apt purge snapd
[11:04] <iTommix> Hi @ all. I have a problem with firewire on Ubuntu 20.04. It’s running on an Mac Mini (Intel) with a cinema display over thunderbolt. the cinema display got a firewire port recognized by ubuntu well. ich i connect a external harddrive i got 2 new devices (fw0 and fw1). fw1 should be the harddisk, but am i right: normally i also should have an scsi device? All firewire modules are loaded and syslog gives me „sbp2_scsi_abort“. what does i
[11:04] <iTommix> mean? thanks
[11:04] <line17> can someone help me about virtualbox?
[11:04] <de-facto> afaik they are in #vbox
[11:04] <line17> de-facto, no one replies
[11:04] <line17> all of them are away :/
[11:04] <guiverc> line17, ask your question & people will respond if & when they can
[11:05] <line17> guiverc, sure.
[11:06] <line17> i installed the latest version virtualbox and i have 2 VMs. text (not file) copying is working good but i cannot copy any files between guest-to-host or host-guest or guest-to-guest
[11:06] <guiverc> line17, what is your HOST OS?  (OS & release)
[11:07] <line17> debian buster guiverc
[11:07] <guiverc> you're off-topic here, this is a Ubuntu room, Ubuntu and flavors of Ubuntu only
[11:07] <line17> i know this is ubuntu channel but i thought they are all gnu/linux and wanted to say here
[11:08] <line17> yes i know that

[11:19] <pagios> hi all, is there a way to configure linux server to act as its own mailserver and send emails from localhost? i dont want to deploy a full fledged email server jsut for the sake of sending some email notifications
[11:27] <de-facto> I setup ufw on ubuntun 20.04 server, can i also use fail2ban together with ufw?
[11:31] <Maik> de-facto: https://askubuntu.com/questions/54771/potential-ufw-and-fail2ban-conflicts
[11:32] <Maik> maybe the answer on askubuntu is helpfull if not try to search further on the web
[11:50] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[11:51] <de-facto> so when using fail2ban with ufw there is /etc/fail2ban/jail.local where i would change banaction = iptables-multiport to banaction = ufw but what about banaction_allports = iptables-allports ?
[11:51] <de-facto> is there an ufw equivalent to iptables-allports aswell?
[11:53] <Maik> de-facto: i don't know and have no experience with it. I just searched the web for something of which i thought it might be useful to you.
[11:55] <de-facto> and did you find something?
[11:56] <de-facto> would it make sense to also set banaction_allports = ufw ?
[11:57] <de-facto> i also find lines like action = iptables-allports[name=NoAuthFailures] i guess i have to change that to ufw aswell
[12:01] <de-facto> ah you meant the link above, thanks
[12:01] <Maik> de-facto: one of the things before asking is that you searched for yourself on the web
[12:06] <Deano59> !isitoutyet
[12:06] <Deano59> no.
[12:06] <Deano59> you should update the bot.
[12:07] <Ravage> the bot is totally right :D
[12:07] <Deano59> no.
[12:08] <Ravage> ok then tell me what is wrong about that statement
[12:08] <Deano59> Ubuntu 21.04 is due for release on April 22, 2021. It will be the latest stable release of Ubuntu, succeeding Ubuntu 20.10 which was released last October.
[12:08] <Ravage> it says nothing about 21.04
[12:08] <Deano59> exactly.
[12:09] <Ravage> ok. i give up
[12:09] <Maik> Ravage: because 21.04 isn't out yet
[12:09] <Maik> 22nd of April is the releasedate
[12:09] <Ravage> the bot does not say that it is out
[12:10] <Deano59> 20.10 has been out MONTHS. we need it updated for 21.04...
[12:10] <Maik> that's what i'm saying too
[12:10] <Maik> also
[12:10] <Maik> !discuss
[12:10] <Ravage> it may be a little bit too excited about 20.10
[12:11] <BluesKaj> or #ubuntu+1 for 21.04
[12:11]  * Deano59 gives up
[12:14] <Maik> teh bot can't be updated yet because 21.04 is STILL in development
[12:14] <Ravage> i have another 12 months before i get excited about a new release anyway
[12:14] <Maik> some people just don't get it that this channel only supports stable releases it seems
[12:16] <Maik> oh, i just was told someone else was inoved in the disussion which i have on ignore... oh well
[12:16] <Maik> inoved/involved
[12:17] <Ravage> i'm staring to understand why
[12:17] <Ravage> *starting
[12:18] <Deano59> Ravage: ignore maik and what he says about me, he's got it out for me for some reason. he's always grumpy. :(
[12:19] <Deano59> can't say it to my face so tries to get OPS help. doesn't work, carries on being grumpy. :(
[12:19] <Deano59> I'll join #discuss - thanks.
[12:20] <Ravage> I've only been here for a week. Not judging anyone so far for anything
[12:20] <Maik> Ravage:  he likes to fool around and get annoying in the support channel, if the ops are not willing to do something about that then ignore is the only option left
[12:20] <Maik> i'll just leave it at that
[12:20] <Maik> it's a support channel after all
[12:21] <Ravage> been on the matrix channel so far. smaller but usally very helpful :)
[14:05] <certaindestiny> Hi all, i am trying to create a kiosk mode with 2 displays which will display a webpage. I have done so succesfully using i3 and chromium. However the features that are required are getting more and more elaborate and difficult. I think the easiest way to fix most of them would be to have 2 different users log in at the same time but on different
[14:05] <certaindestiny> screens. and split things like USB en audio etc to each user. Anybody any great ideas on how to do this?
[14:35] <V|A> whoa
[14:35] <V|A> thers actuall ubuntu  installed on my old hardware :o
[14:35] <V|A> lets see  what i have been up to
[14:36] <V|A> prolly wont recall the pass if  i have one
[15:08] <lordcirth_> V|A, you can reset the password easily if you didn't use full disk encryption
[15:09] <V|A> lordcirth_, darnit! how would that work?
[15:10] <V|A> i just continued with a fresh install anyhow. apparently had a dualboot with some inwodws prolly 8
[15:10] <V|A> would i have been abkle to find out the password or just reset?
[15:11] <lordcirth_> V|A, only reset. Can't easily reverse the hash unless it was a bad password. You'd have had to do a ton of updates anyway, reinstall is probably better
[15:11] <Sven_vB> V|A, you'd probably have to crack a hash, e.h. with a dictionary attack
[15:11] <Sven_vB> *e.g.
[15:11] <Sven_vB> yeah fresh install is the better choice
[15:13] <V|A> well im aware of the possibility of brute-force guessing ..
[15:13] <V|A> ican you tel or link me to something about the reset lordcirth_ ?
[15:14] <V|A> would make it about as insecure as windoze ._.
[15:14] <lordcirth_> !password | V|A This is ancient but I think still works
[15:14] <lordcirth_> V|A, it's not a matter of OS. Physical access is root, period.
[15:29] <thatpythonboy> hi
[15:29] <V|A> interesting will read lordcirth_ ty
[15:29] <mrkubax10> hi
[15:29] <thatpythonboy> why can't i ssh from laptop to desktop but can from desktop to laptop ... does ufw interfere? ufw enable
[15:30] <Ravage> disable the firewall. if it works you have your answer
[15:30] <thatpythonboy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PQztq2KzXQ/
[15:30] <thatpythonboy> i did disable ufw

[15:35] <thatpythonboy> yes
[15:36] <thatpythonboy> laptop is connected to desktop wifi router
[15:36] <mrkubax10> why you are not using local ip
[15:36] <mrkubax10> (192.168.x.x)
[15:39] <thatpythonboy> 10.0.0.12 is desktop's localip as shown in ifconfig https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5KgZw8NXxM/ mrkubax10
[15:40] <thatpythonboy> somerouter use 10.0.xxx slot instead of 192.xxx
[15:40] <mrkubax10> try using ip address
[15:40] <thatpythonboy> which?
[15:40] <mrkubax10> ip address command
[15:40] <leftyfb> thatpythonboy: what version of ubuntu?
[15:40] <thatpythonboy> Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS \n \l

[15:41] <thatpythonboy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rHC5TKFkfF/
[15:42] <thatpythonboy> leftyfb: yes on both it's running
[15:42] <leftyfb> thatpythonboy: please pastebin the command you are using to ssh that is failing along with the error messages. Also, on the desktop, run: sudo lsof -i :22
[15:45] <thatpythonboy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YbHsK852xc/
[15:46] <thatpythonboy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9TBmSRqd2V/
[15:46] <leftyfb> thatpythonboy: can you ping the ip from your laptop?
[15:46] <thatpythonboy> yes
[15:47] <leftyfb> thatpythonboy: lets look at any lingering iptables rules:   sudo iptables -L -n
[15:48] <thatpythonboy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CqGz47Z3mw/ leftyfb
[15:52] <leftyfb> thatpythonboy: how about iptables on your laptop?
[15:53] <thatpythonboy> on laptop https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zZtj4BWbPM/ leftyfb those were laptops both desktop and laptop are same
[15:54] <thatpythonboy> ufw is enabled on desktop that's the problem i guess, thanks for reminding.
[15:56] <thatpythonboy> it's working now
[15:57] <thatpythonboy> also for next time how'd i know if firewall is the problem which cmd?
[15:59] <thatpythonboy> leftyfb: thanks anyway

[17:06] <wiredclint> Fresh install of 20.04 on a laptop.  My environment requires LDAP user accounts, so I need to enable wifi from the gdm login screen so sssd can talk to the directory servers.  I modified polkit so org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.* is available to all users, and that allows me to select a network, but the window asking for wifi credentials never
[17:06] <wiredclint> shows up.  Weirdly, if I log in with a local account and connect to wifi, this credential window does appear.  Is it possible to get this to show up before login?
[17:41] <Trybble> Hello. I'm having a really hard time getting openCL to work for an old graphics card Radeon R9 280 on any of the 20. versions of Ubuntu. I'm wondering if someone can help me and point me in the right direction for how to get this to work. I found this article which I think explains it but am not comfortable playing with the kernel.

[17:46] <tomreyn> Trybble: don't try to do it with fglrx, that driver is dead. Instead, use the open "radeon", or maybe (not sure you can with this hardware), "amdgpu" driver, with mesa and mesa-opencl-icd
[17:49] <tomreyn> output of     apt list --installed *icd* *mesa* *admgpu* *radeon*     on my 18.04 LTS system with an RX 580: https://termbin.com/5azj
[17:50] <tomreyn> clinfo    output on the same system: https://termbin.com/5azj
[17:55] <Trybble> Thanks tomreyn Can you dumb it down a bit for me?  I'm assuming I need a fresh install and would I go through and install all those packages manually using apt-get? I'm only one week into Linux in general so not quite sure how it all works.
[17:59] <tomreyn> Trybble: fresh install of what?
[17:59] <tomreyn> i assume it can be similar on 20.04 LTS, if you'll go with that
[17:59] <tomreyn> you mnay not need / want to install all of these packages manually, no. let me see...
[18:01] <Trybble> Yes a fresh install of Ubuntu I will grab 20.04 and set that up.
[18:01] <tomreyn> i think you want mesa-opencl-icd and mesa-utils only.
[18:03] <Trybble> Thank you. Do you mind if I try that and ping you if I have issues?
[18:05] <tomreyn> Trybble: you're welcome to, but ... i might not be around. i'll have food now, *may be* back in an hour or 1.5
[18:06] <Trybble> Thanks for the help! Enjoy your food.
[18:11] <zencloud> hi
[18:12] <shibboleth> there are updates to apt, but nothing posted on usn?
[18:14] <samthewildone> I think ubuntu is draining my laptop battery, is there a software I need to install to fix that?
[18:15] <samthewildone> at least it appears ubuntu 20.04LTS seems to be using more resources and windows...

[18:17] <sybariten> hey hey
[18:17] <sybariten> live system, trying to run beep, but get  beep: Error: Running under sudo, which is not supported for security reasons.   beep: Error: Set up permissions for the pcspkr evdev device file instead.
[18:19] <sybariten> this is the standard ubuntu user. I had another user made in a similar system, (xubuntu though, this is lubuntu) and i am almost sure i managed to solve this issue by doing  sudo chmod 777 /dev/input/by-path/platform-pcspkr-event-spkr   which was recommended here  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1289288/beep-not-working-since-upgrade-to-20-04-1-lts
[18:19] <sybariten> But that device doesnt seem to exist for my current system
[18:22] <sybariten> The thing i don't understand is, I'm not (as far as i know) running it under sudo
[18:23] <VMGuy23> whats the bash prompt
[18:23] <sybariten> lubuntu@lubuntu:~$
[18:26] <VMGuy23> Thats not a root user... how strange
[18:33] <today911> anyone for my custom drive mount? :)  (1TB... 300GB + 200GB?)
[18:36] <julius_> hi
[18:37] <julius_> this page here: https://github.com/aaptel/qtwirediff   says to run: qmake-qt5 && make    to compile, but packages.ubuntu.com's file search does not return anything for that command?
[18:39] <VMGuy23> Check just qmake-qt5, the && seperates 2 commands
[18:39] <julius_> my mistake, just a copy error
[18:39] <julius_> did not enter the && or the rest
[18:40] <julius_> ive intalled qt5-qmake but that apparently only contains: x86_64-linux-gnu-qmake as executable
[18:42] <sarnold> julius_: also install build-essential if you haven't done that yet
[18:42] <sarnold> julius_: once you've installed that, re-run the commands, and if you're still getting errors, pastebin the whole thing
[18:42] <julius_> will do that, need to eat now
[18:54] <frad> I want to edit the global tags of a mkv file. mkvtoolnix lets me get rid of the global tags' file, but Id like to edit it, not delete it. If I play the file with vlc and edit the fields in the gui, they are not saved. mkvinfo (command) doesnt show global tags.. what command could I use?
[19:02] <makara1> hi. Im on 20.04.2 and my machine is now always crashing on resume from suspend
[19:02] <makara1> i put in the password and press enter and boom. Nothing
[19:03] <makara1> how do I see the previous dmesg?
[19:07] <makara1> ok, its journalctl -k -b -r -1
[19:07] <makara1> last entry says "
[19:08] <makara1> audit: type=1107 audit(1617908190.568:480): pid=2206 uid=106 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='apparmor="DENIED" operation="dbus_signal"  bus="system" path="/org/freedesktop/Networ>
[19:08] <makara1> or maybe its this line: kauditd_printk_skb: 16 callbacks suppressed
[19:13] <sarnold> makara1: that last line is printed when you've had so many apparmor denials that the kernel starts to throw some of them away
[19:21] <tpw_rules> is there any way to stop tab complete from being smart? or at least temporarily override it? it frequently prevents me from tab completing files because it believes they are the wrong type and it is intensely aggravating
[19:22] <VMGuy23> tpw_rules: A shell like fish might fix the issue. has tab complete, but not smart. My preffered shell.
[19:24] <sarnold> tpw_rules: isn't that annoying/ sometimes I just want the old stupid tab completion back.
[20:14] <nyxyn> Any way to check monitor info of my laptop in commandline?
[20:16] <unixbsd> you can find the ubuntuÃ-live memstick for backup of Windows 10 <-- and dual boot with Ubuntu + Windows, it features partclone: https://openbsdtai123.shell.ircnow.org/ubuntu-live-memstick.html
[20:22] <tomreyn> nyxyn: "xrandr" for its X configuration. if you are looking for make and model (and possibly more): sudo get-edid | parse-edid
[20:23] <nyxyn> Thank you
[20:23] <tomreyn> (or look at your X initialization log in "journalctl -b", which i think got similar, and more current code.
[20:28] <nyxyn> tomreyn, do you know what i should grep for in journald?
[20:28] <makara1> sarnold: ok thanks, it looks like a multipass snap was causing that. I don't even use that anymore. Lets see if it solves the issue
[20:31] <tomreyn> nyxyn: EDID
[20:31] <nyxyn> thanks
[20:32] <tomreyn> hmm, you don't seem to get the full data set there, though
[20:32] <nyxyn> and read-edid dint give model name
[20:33] <sarnold> makara1: any luck?
[20:34] <tomreyn> nyxyn: i think that's actually somewhat common for laptops. you should see a brand name most of the time, but not neccessarily a model name.
[20:34] <nyxyn> Hmmm ok. Didn't know that
[20:35] <nyxyn> tomreyn, Any way to see the resolution of the monitor? All I see from read-edid is: DisplaySize 310 170
[20:36] <tomreyn> nyxyn: read-edid should not report a displaysize but output binary data
[20:36] <nyxyn> tomreyn, I'm doing the get-edid | parse-edid combo
[20:37] <tomreyn> i see
[20:38] <tomreyn> hmm, i get a bogus DislaySize here, too
[20:38] <tomreyn> or maybe its just the very lowest resolution it can do
[20:38] <nyxyn> neofetch is returning a display size but I want to make sure it's accurate
[20:39] <tomreyn> sudo get-edid | parse-edid     does report valid resolutions as "#Not giving standard mode:" for me
[20:40] <nyxyn> tomreyn, I don't see that line
[20:41] <tomreyn> you did use sudo, right?
[20:41] <nyxyn> Yes
[20:41] <nyxyn> Let me bpaste full output maybe I'm blind
[20:41] <tomreyn> and xrandr returns what?
[20:42] <nyxyn> Oh xrandr shows it
[20:42] <nyxyn> Sorry I didn't try that one
[20:42] <nyxyn> Thank you tomreyn
[20:43] <sybariten> Hey does anyone here have a working beep command with pc speaker? I'm struggling to make this work here
[20:45] <nyxyn> So I'm trying to decide whether I'm brave enough to upgrade the screen on my laptop on my own or take it to some store for them to do it.
[20:45] <nyxyn> Never done this before. Anyone have any experience?
[20:46] <tomreyn> join ##hardware
[20:46] <nyxyn> Thanks
[21:36] <Sven_vB> I'm trying to use an Ubuntu focal to chroot into another focal: "<<<y sudo -E chroot /target env HOSTNAME=bob apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server", /target/etc/hostname reads "bob\n", but still the SSH keys are generated with description "root@alice" (alice = outer hostname). why, and how do I fix it?
[21:47] <Sven_vB> interesting. a bash in the chroot sees HOSTNAME=bob but still prompts as root@alice
[21:50] <Sven_vB> I see, I have to first run "hostname bob" chroot-ed. all subsequent chroots use the correct hostname.
[21:50] <Sven_vB> oh. apparently it also changes the outer hostname.
[21:51]  * Sven_vB reads man unshare
[21:51] <sarnold> :)
[22:07] <Sven_vB> "sudo unshare --root=/target --net -- sh -c 'hostname bob && hostname'" seems to work, but is it safe to run without --mount-proc?
[22:15]  * Sven_vB discovered man 7 uts_namespaces
[22:20] <Sven_vB> yeah I need --uts, not --net
[22:25] <cpjulia> hello, could someone help me with kurento? I'm having a tough time trying to stream from rtp to webrtc
[23:29] <iconoclasthero> where's the best place to get support for problems with multiple monitors?
