| === VMGuy23[m] is now known as VMGuy23 | ||

| EriC^^ | cuttiepie: you have to run fsck first before you run any other menu options, as they can mount the fs and you want it still read-only | 13:11 |
| cuttiepie | ok ran fsck first. Says continuing will remount your / filesystem in r/w mode and other filesystem in fstab as well | 13:16 |
| cuttiepie | And continuing from there would induce e2fsck error : /dev/sda6 is mounted | 13:17 |

| zamba | is qemu and kvm the same? | 14:03 |

| zamba | and is it easy to "convert" between them? | 14:03 |
| leftyfb | zamba: https://www.packetflow.co.uk/what-is-the-difference-between-qemu-and-kvm/ | 14:04 |
| zamba | for instance.. if i start out with qemu and then "migrate" to kvm once i have scheduled downtime to turn it on in the bios settings? | 14:04 |
| zamba | kvm-ok says i have /dev/kvm and that i can use KVM acceleration | 14:05 |
| zamba | if i do virsh version it says: Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.11.1 | 14:06 |
| zamba | does this mean that it can run better if i actually use kvm directly? | 14:06 |
| zamba | someone suggested typing ps xa | grep "[b]in/kvm", but that returns nothing | 14:07 |
| leftyfb | zamba: what version of ubuntu? | 14:07 |

| zamba | yeah, upgrading it as we speak | 14:10 |
| zamba | not the kernel, though.. have to schedule a reboot for that | 14:10 |
| zamba | but are these virtual machines running in user or kernel space? | 14:11 |
| leftyfb | zamba: did you read the article I gave you? | 14:12 |
| leftyfb | zamba: to answer your question, I think you can convert qemu vm's to kvm. https://rtcamp.com/tutorials/kvm/convert-qcow2-to-raw-format/ Not sure if more is needed. You'll have to research. | 14:13 |

| Intelo | EriC^^: Correct. H will but full disk for /home | 15:00 |
| Intelo | chris64: understood. But I have some concerns. If /home is on drive H and ubuntu is on U, a) when ubuntu is booted, how it will find its home (which itself is encrypted as full drive)? b) how to encrypt the /home in the first place?

| chris64 | Intelo: and the boot loader, for example grub, is configured to boot linux from U (or more specific from a partition on U) | 15:10 |
| chris64 | Intelo: I guess you cannot do much wrong if you do the Ubuntu setup _while_ the Windows disk is disconnected | 15:16 |

| Intelo | chris64: so do you know about a,b? | 16:48 |
| chris64 | Intelo: what is a and b again? From my experience configuring full disk encryption on two drives is no problem with graphical installers of Ubuntu. And you said yourself that the presence of a Windows disk does not complicate the setup at all | 17:03 |
| chris64 | Intelo: I guess you know that step in the setup where it asks you which drives you want to format and which path they're supposed to be mounted on | 17:04 |
| chris64 | Intelo: but I only did that half a dozen times, so maybe I don't know enough about special configurations. Maybe it's indeed wise to ask a few hours later again, when there's maybe more activity due to timezones or tomorrow during weekday | 17:06 |
| Intelo | ok chris64 what i was thinking that if I choose 'full disk encryption' and use /home mount path to some other disk. will it encrypt both disks? | 17:10 |

| tomreyn | chris64: about your kernel configuration question, head straight over to #ubuntu-kernel, re-ask it there, and bring much patience along. from whati can tell, all pre-built kernel images for the same release and arch use the same configurations, but i'm not 100% sure there. i imagine -oem kernels *may* differ a little (where needed to provide fuinctionality needed by oem patches). | 17:18 |
| tomreyn | with multiple luks containers needed to boot, you'll just get multiple passphrase prompts (if you're using passphrases) by default. they may look differently, depending on when prompting occurs, which dpeends on the file systems they contain. | 17:18 |
| tomreyn | personally, i'd be (positively) surprised if ubiquity could setup more than a single disk with luks over lvm at install time. but what i learnt about complex installation scenarios is: don't do them, if you don't strictly have to. i.e. anything you can do post install, do it then. | 17:19 |
| tomreyn | this may not apply to subiquity (server installer) anymore, it's actually capable of more complex scripted setups nowadays. | 17:19 |
| tomreyn | and from what i read the other day, ubiquity is going to be replaced sooner or later. | 17:19 |
| Intelo | chris64: I either encrypted full disk or used luks manual password but I don't know how both will be unencrypted at boot time | 17:22 |
| tomreyn | RoseBus: thats right. 465 is (most common use case) an smtp users' email client authenticating against their isp to send mail, and doing so over an SSL encrypted transport, without STARTTLS (so this is the old SSL-only port approach) | 17:24 |

| tomreyn | if you have a directly accessible /boot file system, point ot that. if you have no separate /boot but /boot is part of / then point to that instead | 19:38 |
| EriC^^ | isnt root for the main fs, not the boot partition? | 19:40 |
| EriC^^ | where_: root=UUID in the kernel line is for the root fs | 19:41 |
| EriC^^ | aka "/" | 19:41 |
| where_ | ok | 19:42 |
| EriC^^ | do you have os-prober installed? | 19:42 |
| where_ | yes | 19:43 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 19:43 |
| where_ | it is detected, but not put into the grub.cfg | 19:44 |
| EriC^^ | where_: if you're using uefi this might help, https://www.linux.org/threads/solus-3-installs-fine-shows-in-update-grub-but-not-on-grub-menu.16114/ | 19:47 |
| tomreyn | EriC^^: on this system i checked, the main 'Ubuntu' menu entry has "set root='mduuid/SOME-MD-UUID-HERE', then the IF statement for feature_platform_search_hint=y, based on which it then re-sets root= using a "search" (grub) command, pointing it to the actual file system with an additional hint on the mduuid. in the "linux" line, it does indeed pass root= pointing to the root file system uuid, though. so i guess you'Re right. | 19:49 |

| gladoscc | Hi, I have an ubuntu server. I did a reboot (nothing else) and I am unable to boot with the latest kernel. I get a kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs. | 20:10 |
| gladoscc | This happens with the latest kernel installed, 5.4.0-70-generic | 20:10 |
| gladoscc | I am able to boot using 5.4.0-67-generic. | 20:10 |
| gladoscc | How can I fix my system? | 20:11 |
| VMGuy23 | In GRUB, select More options for Ubuntu and select an older kernel. You can then use your system from there. | 20:12 |
| gladoscc | VMGuy23: Thanks, yes, I can use my system from there. But how can I fix it so I can use the latest kernel? | 20:12 |
| === Scotty_Trees[Zzz is now known as Scotty_Trees | ||
| leftyfb | gladoscc: what version of ubuntu? | 20:13 |
| jeremy31 | gladoscc: You should think about filing a bug report | 20:13 |
| VMGuy23 | I don't know. Check for an update that might fix the issue and install it. | 20:13 |
| gladoscc | ubuntu 20.04.01 LTS. | 20:13 |
| leftyfb | jeremy31: they're probably just missing the kernel modules for something important | 20:13 |
| gladoscc | i have a mdadm RAID array, I am probably missing the modules for that. | 20:13 |
| gladoscc | however, i did NOT update ubuntu? | 20:13 |
| gladoscc | I didn't update anything. | 20:14 |
| gladoscc | I just tried to reboot. | 20:14 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: bot to your previous kernel and install linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 | 20:14 |
| paolop | hello. plz help me! Every time I have to configure simoultanous output from two audio devices is a PITA. I installed paprefs and enabled "add virtual output device for simoultaneous output on all local sound cards". Then I set "simoultaneous output" in sound preferences. But I can't hear anything. | 20:14 |
| gladoscc | leftyfb: thank you, will try. | 20:14 |
| jeremy31 | gladoscc: can you post URL for> dpkg -l | grep 5.4.0-70-generic | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:15 |
| gladoscc | jeremy31: https://termbin.com/5xa5 | 20:15 |
| leftyfb | ok, guess that theory is out the window :) | 20:15 |
| leftyfb | but maybe the 5.8 kernel might fix it | 20:16 |
| jeremy31 | gladoscc: That seems correct | 20:16 |
| ptah | what is the connection with ipv6 ipv4 and ethernet wired network vs wifi ? | 20:16 |
| ptah | ipv6 is better with wifi? | 20:16 |
| ptah | and ipv4 with ethernet wired? | 20:17 |
| jeremy31 | ptah: I think works the same for both | 20:17 |
| gladoscc | I only have 51MB free in my /boot -- let's hope that's enough space to install | 20:17 |
| gladoscc | (already purged all kernels but the latest and what I am recovering with). | 20:17 |
| ptah | jeremy31 ok | 20:17 |
| jeremy31 | gladoscc: File a bug report if you can on 5.4.0-70-generic | 20:17 |
| gladoscc | cannot install the latest | 20:17 |
| gladoscc | Error 24 : Write error : cannot write compressed block | 20:17 |
| gladoscc | E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 lz4 -9 -l 24 | 20:17 |
| gladoscc | update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.8.0-48-generic with 1. | 20:17 |
| gladoscc | is this a hardware error? could my RAID array be having issues? | 20:18 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: disk space | 20:18 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: you either have other packages still left to be removed or you have WAY too small of a /boot partition | 20:18 |
| gladoscc | my boot partition is 269M | 20:18 |
| gladoscc | . /dev/md0p1 269M 213M 37M 86% /boot | 20:18 |
| leftyfb | that's pretty small but should be enough with a well maintained system | 20:19 |
| gladoscc | can I remove 70? the one that won't boot? | 20:19 |
| gladoscc | I am recovering in 67. | 20:19 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: ls -l /boot/ | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:19 |
| gladoscc | https://termbin.com/cxc8 | 20:20 |
| jeremy31 | The initrd for the kernel takes up more space in /boot than you have left | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: try removing 70 | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | purging* | 20:20 |
| gladoscc | cool, purged | 20:21 |
| gladoscc | do I need to clean up the 5.8? | 20:21 |
| gladoscc | that seems partially installed? | 20:21 |
| gladoscc | or just another attempt at 'apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04' ? | 20:21 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 | 20:21 |
| gladoscc | cool, that worked | 20:23 |
| gladoscc | initrd.img, vmlinuz all pointing to 5.8.0-48 | 20:23 |
| gladoscc | reboot? | 20:23 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: yep | 20:24 |
| gladoscc | fixed. thank you very much leftyfb and jeremy31. | 20:26 |
| gladoscc | have to say, I wonder how this happened | 20:26 |
| gladoscc | i did NOT do a distro upgrade or package upgrade or anything like that | 20:26 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: possible bug with the 5.4.0-70 kernel. If you have the time to do some forensics and to revert to the broken kernel, you should file a bug | 20:26 |
| gladoscc | happy to dig into it and file a bug report, any pointers for what forensics would be helpful? | 20:28 |
| leftyfb | !bug | gladoscc | 20:28 |
| ubottu | gladoscc: 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. | 20:28 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: mainly, getting to a point where you can get both kernels installed and follow the above | 20:28 |
| gladoscc | installed, not necessarily running right? | 20:30 |
| gladoscc | cuz I can only run the 5.8 kernel, i don't think there is anything I can do in 5.4.0-70 | 20:30 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: well, obviously the 5.8 kernel running, but preferably with the 5.4.0-70 not working properly so you can grab data and file the bug | 20:31 |
| leftyfb | gladoscc: just make sure you can reproduce the issue before filing the bug | 20:31 |
| jeremy31 | It might be a waste of time if the error occurs too early and no relevant info can be saved to disk | 20:32 |
| gladoscc | i reliably cannot boot using 5.4.0-70. I do not know what conditions caused me to get into this state, so I don't know how to reproduce the "cause". | 20:32 |
| leftyfb | jeremy31: wouldn't just filing a bug against the package itself with a small writeup be beneficial? | 20:33 |
| jeremy31 | leftyfb: It could be | 20:33 |
| gladoscc | pretty weird cause I'm using RAID0 on enterprise HDDs with ECC memory, so it's unlikely that it's a random bitflip | 20:33 |
| gladoscc | s/HDDs/SSDs | 20:33 |
| jeremy31 | gladoscc: Include all the hardware info you can | 20:35 |
| gladoscc | ok yep, filed a bug report with all the info I know https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1923376 | 20:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1923376 in linux (Ubuntu) "Unable to boot after reboot, no upgrades." [Undecided,New] | 20:43 |
| gladoscc | i'll do further troubleshooting if anyone requests it in the ticket, but at least, maybe it helps the next person who encounters this issue. | 20:44 |
| jeremy31 | gladoscc: see if https://askubuntu.com/a/1218004 helps any | 20:44 |
| jeremy31 | Might have to rebuild the initramfs for 5.4.0-70 kernel if it is still there | 20:45 |
| jeremy31 | sudo update-initramfs -u -k 5.4.0-70-generic | 20:46 |
| gladoscc | yep im gonna get some sleep first, tomorrow ill reinstall 70 | 20:46 |
| gladoscc | and see if that fixes it | 20:46 |
| gladoscc | thanks again | 20:46 |

| wiscii | i was trying to install codeblocks but i had a dep which was not met now i have two packages which depend on each other which i can't remove | 21:27 |
| wiscii | codeblocks-wxcontrib-dev depends on codeblocks-wxcontrib-headers (= 20.03); however: | 21:28 |
| wiscii | Package codeblocks-wxcontrib-headers is to be removed. | 21:28 |
| wiscii | apt does not want to resolve it either | 21:28 |
| wiscii | Debian 'dpkg' package management program version 1.19.7 (amd64). | 21:30 |
| Bashing-om | !info codeblocks-wxcontrib-dev focal | wiscii | 21:32 |
| ubottu | wiscii: Package codeblocks-wxcontrib-dev does not exist in focal | 21:32 |
| wiscii | erm .. i think i know what you mean .. but i'm still stuck | 21:33 |
| Bashing-om | wiscii:^^ As apt is unaware of the package - begs the question of where you got it and then is that not a problem for the maintainer to address ? | 21:33 |
| wiscii | i got it from codeblocks website | 21:34 |
| Bashing-om | wiscii: I do suggest that you open a dialog with codeblocks to find the root of the issue. | 21:35 |

| Bashing-om | wiscii: :D - reading is good | 21:41 |

| johnfg | tomboy-ng/now 0.27 amd64 [installed,local] | 21:43 |
| johnfg | I'd like to install v. 32, but it's not available for an apt update. | 21:43 |
| johnfg | Does the local signify that I installed it from a download? | 21:44 |
| Bashing-om | johnfg: Not a focal package (tomboy-ng) - what shows ' apt policy tomboy-ng ' for the origination ? | 21:45 |
| johnfg | It's not snap I guess, as snap find tomboy-ng returns nothing. | 21:46 |
| johnfg | Bashing-om: I'll look. | 21:46 |
| johnfg | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wCFdxrfbnv/ | 21:47 |
| Bashing-om | johnfg: Yuk - seems too that 'dpkg' is not tracking the package - must be a thrid party fetch. Might see if there are souces in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ files. | 21:53 |
| Bashing-om | sources* | 21:53 |
| johnfg | I'll do that too. | 21:54 |

| ryan_foo | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tT4ZGG7H4g/ | 22:01 |
| ryan_foo | So as you see Im trying to install zlib1g-dev. | 22:01 |
| ryan_foo | but apt says "sorry i have 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu1.2 installed and you need same1.1" | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | ryan_foo: "Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS" indicates the saystem is way out of date. what results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' ? | 22:03 |
| Bashing-om | system* | 22:03 |
| ryan_foo | apt update looks fine. let me try full-upgrade | 22:04 |
| Bashing-om | ryan_foo: "sysop@2004x-c:~$ lsb_release -a >> Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS " . | 22:05 |
| ryan_foo | im not sure a full upgrade is going to update my sources.list ! | 22:08 |
| Bashing-om | ryan_foo: ?? - update reads the list and does not affect said list . | 22:09 |
| ryan_foo | If you look at this link https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/zlib1g-dev, the version I want to pick up is in focal-updates. | 22:10 |
| Bashing-om | !full-upgrade | ryan_foo | 22:10 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: focal-updates should be enabled by default | 22:10 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu1.2 is the latest version available in the ubuntu 20.04 repos | 22:11 |
| ryan_foo | ah its commented out . | 22:11 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: what is your actual issue? | 22:11 |
| ryan_foo | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tT4ZGG7H4g/ | 22:12 |
| tomreyn | your actual issue seems to be that you chose to disable the focal-updates repository. which you should not. | 22:12 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: did you run the full-upgrade? | 22:12 |
| ryan_foo | hmm. uncommented focal-update and did a update + full-upgrade. still broken... | 22:15 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade # run this first | 22:15 |
| ryan_foo | done | 22:16 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: apt-cache policy zlib1g-dev | nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:16 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: also: lsb_release -d | nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:18 |
| tomreyn | grep -hEv '^([ ]*#.*)?$' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list} 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:18 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: ooo, that's a nice one | 22:19 |
| tomreyn | :) i'm not sure it actually catches everything, but i hope it does | 22:19 |
| leftyfb | ryan_foo: ? | 22:21 |
| ryan_foo | ok, so I uncommented out the focal-updates repos in the apt/sources.list , did the update + full-upgrade and then my package installed. thanks for your assistance all! | 22:48 |
