[00:49] <kevr> the hell
[01:10] <rr123> since I updated to chrome 90 now it ate up to 20GB memory in 2 hours, used to be around 4G
[01:10] <sarnold> zounds
[01:10] <rr123> ubuntu 20.04
[01:11] <sarnold> is that chrome or is that chromium-browser?
[01:11] <sarnold> if chrome, then probably best ot report it directly to google
[01:11] <sarnold> if chromium-browser, then ubuntu-bug chromium   or ubuntu-bug chromium-browser  ought to get the bug report started
[01:12] <rr123> it's chrome, reporting to google now

[04:28] <astroanax> I am trying to install ubuntu warty on vbox, this is how my current virtualbox config looks: https://0x0.st/-AB4.png
[04:28] <astroanax> When i boot from the image, ubuntu drops me into a shell, with an error saying cant find morphix filesystem sorry
[04:28] <astroanax> how do i fix it?
[04:33] <gnUser> I am losing my mind with how crappy Touchpads are on literally any computer that is not made by Apple. How can this be? Does anyone know of a reliable way to get thumb detection/rejection on an Asus trackpad?
[06:13] <alex_wtf_\> hello goodmorning whats up :D
[06:19] <alex_wtf_\> i have a problem with gpg keys when i open software sources its empty
[06:19] <alex_wtf_\> but i recieve updates normally
[06:25] <alex_wtf_\> all offline?
[06:27] <guiverc> alex_wtf_\, provide OS & release details and be specific with your question.  Please will answer as they're able to
[06:28] <alex_wtf_\> im on ubuntu mate with latest kernel,you need uname -r?
[06:28] <alex_wtf_\> 20.10
[06:33] <alex_wtf_\> and i want to ask something else,by typing sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates it opens a window showing some companies with certificates is this normal?
[06:33] <guiverc> alex_wtf_\, I don't understand your question, a pastebin of your command & error message may help (or specific details of your issue)
[06:33] <alex_wtf_\> i don't have erros it just at software updates at certification it displays a empty box
[06:34] <alex_wtf_\> errors*
[06:35] <alex_wtf_\> that certification issues could be internet proxies for illegal thing...
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> alex_wtf_\: volunteers can only help you with more details of your issue, use a screenshot or a pastebin of your apt output
[06:41] <alex_wtf_\> http://imagebin.ubuntu-gr.org/files2017/1618641667.jpg
[06:43] <alex_wtf_\> someone did a MITM to me because of wifi network without a password
[06:44] <alex_wtf_\> maybe my old neighbor
[06:44] <afwang> That's disturbing and unfortunate.
[06:45] <alex_wtf_\> that thing happend at 2012
[06:46] <alex_wtf_\> i don't remember exactly but i could run a javascript virus
[06:49] <afwang> As for the certificates: that window looks normal to me. Those companies are companies with root certificates.
[06:49] <alex_wtf_\> so everyone has those?
[06:50] <alex_wtf_\> before 2012 i checked that list and there was like 3 entries
[06:50] <afwang> Most computer users have them installed somewhere. I think Firefox and Chrome might even package their own copies of root certs, but I never checked to be sure.
[06:51] <alex_wtf_\> its a cert8.db file
[06:52] <alex_wtf_\> omg i just thought that i was speading malware ohh i just worrie for nothing
[06:53] <rfm> I think alex_wtf_\ is trolling us, 2012 is 9 years away
[06:53] <alex_wtf_\> ok
[06:54] <alex_wtf_\> no troll im legit
[06:55] <alex_wtf_\> everytime i log to facebook it says a random city not the real
[06:55] <alex_wtf_\> at login details
[06:55] <alex_wtf_\> i live in greece
[06:56] <alex_wtf_\> is it a cookie problem?
[06:56] <rfm> alex_wtf_\, so just wipe the system and reinstall..
[06:56] <alex_wtf_\> i done that many times it won't help
[06:56] <lotuspsychje> alex_wtf_\: please after asking your question and be patient until someone helps
[06:57] <afwang> Facebook is guessing which city you live in. Perhaps their servers are just guessing wrong.
[06:58] <afwang> That might be the case if the cities they are showing you are kind of close together on a world map.
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> afwang: please dont feed offtopic
[06:59] <afwang> Sorry. I was not aware it was off topic. I will stop now.
[08:32] <kristian_on_linu> cheers
[08:32] <kristian_on_linu> finally put 20.04 on my trusty Thinkpad T520, but the wifi has issues ... I can see the network, but the pw is not recognized. I tried updating the kernel, but no luck
[09:51] <tomreyn> kristian_on_linu: internal wifi? T520 seems to use intel chipsets for wireless most of the time, but there are different ones in T520. which is yours? lspci -nn
[09:53] <kristian_on_linu> hi tomreyn ... yes, internal
[09:53] <kristian_on_linu> 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] [8086:0085] (rev 34)
[09:53] <kristian_on_linu> would you like the full output?
[09:55] <tomreyn> kristian_on_linu: not needed, thanks
[09:56] <tomreyn> kristian_on_linu: what's the kernel you're running?  cat /proc/{version_signature,cmdline}
[09:57] <kristian_on_linu> erm, I booted into 18.04 (I have dual boot)
[09:58] <tomreyn> and the wifi is a problem on both?
[09:59] <kristian_on_linu> no, only on 20.04
[09:59] <kristian_on_linu> but I got a newer kernel, let me look
[10:00] <kristian_on_linu> config-5.11.15-051115-generic <-- this is it
[10:00] <tomreyn> do you have other means to bring the 20.04 online? such as an ethernet connection, an usb to ethernet dongle, an usb to wireless dongle, a smartphone with a usb connection you can tether through?
[10:03] <kristian_on_linu> yes, I have ethernet
[10:03] <kristian_on_linu> not tested anything else
[10:03] <ph88> hi all
[10:03] <tomreyn> kristian_on_linu: so about the default kernel on 20.04, does it happen there as well?
[10:03] <EriC^^> hey ph88
[10:04] <ph88> when i try to update it wants to downgrade openssl should i do that ??
[10:04] <kristian_on_linu> yes
[10:04] <kristian_on_linu> that's why I got the new one. Everything else seems to work
[10:05] <tomreyn> ph88: ^ this "yes" wasnt to you. it's unusual that you get a downgrade suggestion. you must have weird apt source configurations.
[10:06] <tomreyn> kristian_on_linu: okay, we need to look at your logs on the 20.04 then. is everything up to date there in terms of packages?
[10:06] <kristian_on_linu> yes
[10:06] <kristian_on_linu> I'll log into that and get back here
[10:09] <tomreyn> ph88: this gathers info on your apt configuration:  sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo grep -hEv '^([ ]*#.*)?$' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list} 2>&1; sudo apt-get -y update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 </tmp/aptlog && rm /tmp/aptlog
[10:11] <tomreyn> if you're unsure whether you should run such long series of commands given to you by someone on irc, what's a good point, and you can just run parts of it instead, such as:   sudo grep -hEv '^([ ]*#.*)?$' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list
[10:16] <kristian-20-04> tomreyn, hi
[10:16] <kristian-20-04> sorry about the delay
[10:18] <tomreyn> kristian-20-04: that's fine
[10:19] <kristian-20-04> what kind of logs would you like to see? dmesg?
[10:19] <ph88> thanks tomreyn :)
[10:20] <tomreyn> kristian-20-04: yes, maybe    dmesg -T    is a good start.
[10:20] <tomreyn> dmesg -T | nc termbin.com 9999
[10:21] <kristian-20-04> https://termbin.com/tn25
[10:26] <kristian-20-04> https://termbin.com/0vne <-- my slightly modified iwlwifi.conf
[10:29] <tomreyn> kristian-20-04: at the end of this log you see those  "  wlp3s0: " lines. apparently authentication succeeds, then, during association, a power saving configuration (as recommended by the router) is applied, association succeeds, but then the router reports that it didn't receive all authentication packages and drops the connection.
[10:29] <tomreyn> at leats thats how i interpret it - i'm not very good with wireless
[10:30] <kristian-20-04> it's odd
[10:31] <kristian-20-04> and it works flawlessly on 18.04
[10:31] <kristian-20-04> I suppose it's not as simple as installing some firmware?
[10:32] <kristian-20-04> [Sat Apr 17 12:09:03 2021] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 18.168.6.1 6000g2a-6.ucode op_mode iwldvm
[10:32] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: That wifi is older, not likely to have many firmware versions for it
[10:33] <kristian-20-04> bugger
[10:33] <tomreyn> the wireless chipset firmware is already being loaded: iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 18.168.6.1 6000g2a-6.ucode op_mode iwldvm
[10:33] <tomreyn> just because it's older, that's not a reason not to work
[10:33]  * kristian-20-04 wonders if he has a wifi dongle somewhere
[10:33] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: Is wifi power management disabled?
[10:35] <tomreyn> you'll need to explain how to check
[10:35] <jeremy31> Does this command show the correct county code>  iw reg get
[10:35] <kristian-20-04> options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 swcrypto=1 bt_coex_active=0
[10:35] <kristian-20-04> I have this in my iwlwifi.conf
[10:35] <tomreyn> hmm is swcrypto=1 default?
[10:35] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: post URL for>  iwconfig|nc termbin.com 9999
[10:36] <kristian-20-04> I have wifi.powersave = 2
[10:36] <kristian-20-04> in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
[10:38] <kristian-20-04> I tried this: sudo /sbin/iwconfig wlp3s0 power off
[10:38] <kristian-20-04> now let me unplug the ethernet
[10:45] <kristian-20-04> that did not do anything
[10:46] <kristian-20-04> hurm
[10:47] <kristian-20-04> lo and behold, I found a wifi dongle
[10:47] <kristian-20-04> brb
[10:47] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: do a sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi #to disable internal
[10:49] <tomreyn> kristian-20-04: all i read is that this very message you're running into is usually due to a bad wireless password.
[10:50] <tomreyn> (but then your log says that authentication did succeed)
[10:51] <jeremy31> after the power setting change, it falls apart
[10:51] <tomreyn> yes, thats right, primary suspect
[10:51] <tomreyn> but wifi.powersave = 2 means off
[10:52] <jeremy31> That just keeps Network Manager from enabling it
[10:53] <tomreyn> it does lower transmit signal strength / TX power to 23
[10:54] <tomreyn> the wireless access point chipset is a zyxel
[10:59] <jeremy31> They might be able to change the country setting in the router to allow more power
[10:59] <kristian-20-04> hi again
[10:59] <kristian-20-04> okay, that gives the same result
[11:00] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: try>  sudo iwconfig wlp3s0 txpower 23
[11:00] <jeremy31> then attempt to connect
[11:01] <jeremy31> Then see if it actually changed in> iwconfig
[11:01] <tomreyn> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management#Intel_wireless_cards_(iwlwifi) lists more options which can be passed to iwlwifi
[11:02] <tomreyn> jeremy31: note that kristian-20-04 is currently using a mainline build (default kernel also 'does not work', but we have not looked atr detaisl there)
[11:02] <tomreyn> *looked at details
[11:02]  * tomreyn off for a while
[11:03] <kristian-20-04> iwlwifi says "Power Management:off" for wlp3s0
[11:03] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: what does it show for tx power
[11:03] <kristian-20-04> Tx-Power=15 dBm
[11:05] <jeremy31> Is the wifi router using WPA2 with AES or does it have TKIP enabled?
[11:09] <kristian-20-04> lemme check
[11:12] <kristian-20-04> I believe it's just WPA2
[11:15] <kristian-20-04> I see that was not a proper answer, trying to figure it out
[11:17] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: Did you try the 11n_disable=1
[11:19] <kristian-20-04> options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1 bt_coex_active=0
[11:19] <kristian-20-04> like this?
[11:20] <kristian-20-04> and then sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager ... no change
[11:22] <Franciman> Hello fellow private software friends
[11:22] <Franciman> I found a bug in the ath10k drivers
[11:22] <Franciman> do you think I should file the issue to ubuntu too?
[11:22] <Franciman> or just the kernel driver mailing list
[11:23] <jeremy31> kristian-20-04: you will have to unload and load the driver to get it to change
[11:23] <jeremy31> Franciman: If you are using the newest upstream kernel the upstream kernel devs might ignore it
[11:24] <jeremy31> are/arent't
[11:24] <Franciman> makes much sense, drat
[11:25] <jeremy31> Franciman: If you are using Ubuntu kernel, file with Ubuntu, they will likely ask that you try the newest mainline kernel to see if it still exists
[11:26] <Franciman> I tried with 5.11
[11:26] <Franciman> and the bug exists, though
[11:26] <Franciman> but I saw that in 5.12-rc9 there is a change in the driver
[11:26] <Franciman> maybe they fixed it, I should give it a try
[11:26] <Franciman> also jeremy31 you can't figure out what is the change in the drivers that causes the bug
[11:26] <Franciman> basically they enlarged a data structure representing msdu stuff
[11:27] <Franciman> I think that some actor in the firmware or the driver is misreading or miswriting to this structure
[11:27] <Franciman> because now it is enlarged
[11:27] <jeremy31> Franciman: is it still possible to use older firmware?
[11:27] <Franciman> nope
[11:27] <Franciman> they still fail
[11:28] <Franciman> to make it work, you have to put that data structure at its old status
[11:28] <Franciman> i.e. pre this commit:
[11:28] <Franciman> http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2017-December/010589.html
[11:28] <Franciman> if you remove those extra fields, everything works like charm
[11:29] <Franciman> jeremy31, you know what is perplexing?
[11:29] <Franciman> that I can't fully explain why the wifi card hangs
[11:29] <Franciman> but it only happens when I am connected to the same wifi network as my dad's huawei smartphone
[11:29] <jeremy31> Franciman: wifi power management disabled?
[11:29] <Franciman> yup
[11:30] <jeremy31> No TKIP encryption on the router?
[11:30] <atal> I have created a squashfs filesystem and dd it in /dev/sdb3 . Can I set label on the partition?
[11:30] <Franciman> none
[11:31] <Franciman> I use wpa
[11:31] <jeremy31> Seem that the commit should only affect WCN3990's and QCA99x0 models
[11:31] <Franciman> but it changes the memory layout
[11:31] <Franciman> of the whole structure
[11:32] <Franciman> because the added wcn fields in the union
[11:32] <Franciman> are bigger!
[11:32] <Franciman> also jeremy31 those fields are _unused_ in the driver
[11:32] <Franciman> they are there just to match the right memory layout
[11:32] <Franciman> the strange thing is that I don't always get failure
[11:32] <Franciman> but only when my dad's huawei smartphone is connected
[11:33] <Franciman> so I guess there must be some strange packet sent over the network
[11:33] <jeremy31> I had a wifi in this laptop that used ath10k without issues until I swapped it out and broke off antenna connectord
[11:42] <dev4449> Hi. Good day. I'm trying to confirm that if the machine I have in hand meets the minimum sys requirements of ubuntu. the machine: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-300-15IBR-Notebook-Review.165793.0.html . According to this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements the only requirement I'm unable to confirm(
[11:42] <dev4449> researched but no luck) is the line that says "3D Acceleration Capable Videocard with at least 256 MB". I have disabled the  discrete(nvidia) video card in bios, since I only want to use this laptop for simple taks such as web surfing, so the only graphicsavailable is intel integrated graphics.
[11:44] <dev4449> I can't confirm if this intel integrated graphics meets the requirement "3d acceleration capable videocard with at least 256 mb".
[11:45] <jeremy31> dev4449: Write the ISO to a USB and try Ubuntu
[11:46] <dev4449> jeremy31: I'm currently using the same machine in the live ubuntu. but is that enough to make sure that requirement is met?
[11:46] <jeremy31> dev4449: I can run Ubuntu fine on a 7 year old Lenovo with just Intel graphics
[11:52] <dTal> dev4449: you're overthinking it, imo
[11:56] <dev4449> jeremy31: Thanks. The live environment is usable, the visual effect are not smooth, but the desktop is quite usable.
[11:57] <dev4449> The visual effect are actually very fast, but not smooth.
[11:58] <ruenoak> dev4449:  I run Ubuntu on and old 2012 Vaio laptop with an Nvidia 640M and Intel graphics it work well.  I would say though that installing the proprietary driver Nvidia driver and using Prime to switch to using Intel graphics, worked best.
[11:59] <dev4449> ruenoak: I see.
[12:00] <dev4449> I was thinking of installing kubuntu if ubuntu wasn't usable enough, but as far as I can see it's usable.
[12:00] <ruenoak> Kubuntu worked fine as well
[12:01] <ruenoak> I set it to always use Intel for better battery life mainly
[12:02] <Franciman> sorry jeremy31 wifi happened :P
[12:03] <ruenoak> dev4449: I can say that KDE gave me better battery life than Gnome at the time
[12:03] <cbreak> 13 more days of 2021.04
[12:05] <dev4449> ruenoak: Yes.
[12:05] <dev4449> Thanks channel
[12:20] <rory> if ubuntu is clunky on your hardware, kubuntu would be worse
[12:25] <wyoung> I recommend xubuntu for low speced hardware
[12:25] <Franciman> or a window manager
[12:25] <Franciman> like i3
[12:26] <Franciman> or openbox , fluxbox ecc
[12:35] <diskin> Hi all, I need to add quotes to every string, trying this awk code and it does not add anything, could you help? cat file | awk '{printf("'%s'\n", $0)}'
[12:49] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:54] <remline> echo diskin | awk '{print "\x27"$0"\x27"}'
[12:55] <diskin> remline, thanks! I hoped to use \' or '' or ''' but it did not work )
[13:11] <vmguy23m> /usr/libexec/dleyna-renderer-service crashes with SIGSEGV every so often, what is it and what does it mean?
[13:13] <vmguy23m> Wait, got to go, be back later. Don't answer until I say I'm back.
[13:14] <Maik> you're on Matrix and thus logged in all the time so you can scroll back
[14:24] <kyonsalt> I adjusted the ulimit stack size on ubuntu18, so the kernel can't boot. Why.
[14:25] <rory> why indeed
[14:25] <rory> what were you trying to do overall kyonsalt ?
[14:26] <rory> it shouldn't stop the system from booting unless there was a typo or something. do you know what command you ran to set it?
[14:26] <rory> and also if possible please share the error you see when booting.
[14:27] <kyonsalt> I want to increase the stack size. ulimit -s 16384 and /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/systemd/user.conf and system.conf defaultLimitStackSize = 16384.
[14:28] <kyonsalt> and so many coreDump from dmesg and reboot crash with [red words].
[14:29] <kyonsalt> even can't boot with recovery mode.
[14:31] <kyonsalt> So I had to mount the disk by other OS to recover the stack size config.
[14:34] <kyonsalt> @rory I think the reason is the crypto partition mode depending on stack size.
[14:35] <rory> You may be right there, I was prepared to walk you through fixing it but you're ahead of me
[14:35] <rory> Someone else might know the real answer
[14:40] <nunya> how do i safely purge unused kernels. I like linux-image-5.4.0-72-lowlatency     5.4.0-72.80 but want to get rid of the rest if I don't need them. How do I know if I need the others? dpkg -l | tail -n +6 | grep -E 'linux-image-[0-9]+' results https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xRrF3c7GsT/
[14:42] <tomreyn> rc = removed, configuration remaining.
[14:44] <remline> nunya: "apt autoremove" will remove unused kernels. For purging, I like to use "aptitude", where you can search for "~c" to see removed-but-configured packages.
[14:45] <remline> nunya: By default, Ubuntu will mark the current kernel and the previous kernel as used. Older ones can be removed if you like.
[14:47] <nunya> remline: Does that remove older kernels or unused? My latest is 5.8.0-50-generic but I want to keep using linux-image-5.4.0-72-lowlatency. It works better than the latest generic
[14:48] <tsujp> I've got an ubuntu machine I've configured a static IP for so now it has two IPs, both ip4 addresses, how can I force it to only use a specific one when proxying SSH commands? It's using it's "default" one
[14:48] <tsujp> Either that or I disable the ip4 I don't want it using
[14:48] <leftyfb> tsujp: what version of ubuntu and how did you configure the static ip exactly?
[14:49] <tsujp> 20.04
[14:49] <tsujp> I created a yaml file at /etc/netplan/60-floating-ip.yaml
[14:49] <leftyfb> tsujp: is this running a desktop environment?
[14:50] <tsujp> Contents are: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HqTBvRrspJ/
[14:50] <tsujp> it is no leftyfb
[14:50] <tsujp> not*
[14:50] <leftyfb> tsujp: ok, and what about the .yaml file that was already in /etc/netplan/?
[14:51] <tsujp> leftyfb that one only has ip6 stuff in it
[14:51] <remline> nunya: If you run "apt autoremove", it will tell you what it is going to remove. It will ask you to confirm before proceeding. You can mark packages as "manually installed" to prevent autoremove from removing them.
[14:51] <leftyfb> tsujp: can you pastebin it? Did you modify it at all?
[14:52] <nunya> remline: Ok thanks, was worried it would remove the one I didn't wany to remove
[14:52] <tsujp> leftyfb https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WfMRfqbksx/
[14:53] <leftyfb> tsujp: both configs are trying to manage eth0. The first config has dhcp enabled on it
[14:55] <tsujp> can I force `ssh` to identify as a certain IP then?
[14:55] <nunya> remline: sudo apt autoremove I think was only going to remove packages. Is that the right command?
[14:55] <tsujp> it's using the dhcp ip instead of the static ip
[14:55] <tsujp> I want it to use the static ip only
[14:56] <leftyfb> tsujp: the solution is to only use a single config file to manage eth0
[14:57] <remline> nunya: Correct, autoremove will only remove packages. To purge packages, you can use a different tool. (I think purging packages is not particularly useful... but I like to use aptitude to purge them)
[14:58] <leftyfb> tsujp: why do you need a static ipv4 and ipv6? Are you actually using ipv6 for anything?
[14:58] <tsujp> leftyfb what if I did `dhcp4: false` in the second file?
[14:58] <tsujp> this is a jumpbox and it's using its dynamic IP instead of the static one so ufw on the target machine deny it (wrong ip)
[14:59] <tsujp> might just do a vnet or something instead
[14:59] <leftyfb> tsujp: why do you need a static ipv4 and ipv6? Are you actually using ipv6 for anything?
[14:59] <tsujp> im not using ip6 at all
[15:00] <nunya> remline: You said to use apt autoremove to remove kernels. I typed that into console actually had to add sudo in front of apt autoremove It listed some packages but not kernels.
[15:00] <leftyfb> tsujp: ok, then step #1: sudo apt remove --purge cloud-init     step #2  make only 1 network config file with the following contents. Delete all other files in /etc/netplan   https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/D2qqfszrht/
[15:02] <remline> nunya: Perhaps you only have two kernels installed?
[15:05] <tsujp> that borked the networking on the machine leftyfb its probably getting the gateway etc from dhcpcd and stuff too?
[15:05] <tsujp> for ip4 that is
[15:06] <leftyfb> tsujp: try setting the gateway. It's assuming the gateway ip, maybe you've got it different
[15:06] <leftyfb> tsujp: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/gRTMNKdpzb/
[15:07] <leftyfb> tsujp: https://netplan.io/examples/#using-dhcp-and-static-addressing
[15:11] <nunya> remline: You obviously didn't read the pastebin link in my question
[15:13] <remline> nunya: removing and purging are two different things. I would recommend using autoremove as often as needed, but purging is generally not useful. If you do want to purge, I would recommend aptitude.
[15:14] <remline> nunya: And if there are kernels that are marked as manually installed, autoremove will not remove them. You can either remove them manually, or mark them as automatically installed.
[15:15] <nunya> remline: Ok what's the differnce between removing and purging?
[15:16] <leftyfb> I would not recommend aptitude. It has caused problems in the past.
[15:16] <leftyfb> nunya: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ubuntu-remove-old-kernels
[15:18] <remline> nunya: nunya: Per "man apt", Removing a package removes all packaged data, but leaves usually small (modified) user configuration files behind, in case the remove was an accident. On the other hand you can get rid of these leftovers by calling purge even on already removed packages.
[15:18] <leftyfb> nunya: If you install linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-18.04 and remove everything else, you should be good moving forward. autoremove should remove old kernels just fine after that
[15:18] <tsujp> cheers leftyfb
[15:19] <remline> leftyfb: Avoiding tools that have "caused problems in the past" would leave us with precious little remaining. :)
[15:20] <leftyfb> remline: apt will work just fine in this case and not cause more problems
[15:23] <remline> leftyfb: Indeed, there is something to be said for picking the correct level of abstraction. I find aptitude useful for browsing package states.
[17:42] <kmart> hi
[17:42] <kmart> could someone hlep me out with an nvme issue?
[17:45] <leftyfb> !ask | kmart
[17:47] <ExcessiveAggro> Morning!  Playing around with BTRFS and it looks like I can set up a btrfs partition directly on a device without an existing partition.  Is that a bad idea? OR is that best practice?
[17:47] <ExcessiveAggro> basically.... sudo mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb
[17:48] <kmart> okay, fair enough - so i had 3 nvme's installed on my PC with ASUS UEFI motherboard, boot drive was nvme0 with ubuntu, nvme1 and nvme2 were AMD-RAID with windows, so far so good. now i nstalled 3 additional nvme drives, and the ubuntu nvme0 is now nvme1, and new drive is nvme0. Now the system does not boot, if in the boot menu (f8) i select windows, it boots fine, ubuntu livecd also sees the nvme's just fine. When i click ubuntu, it goes straight to UEFI
[17:48] <kmart> bios. I checked the grub.cfg and it references the boot part only by UUID, so i have no idea whats wrong
[18:04] <EriC^^> kmart: can you boot a live usb to troubleshoot?
[18:04] <kmart> yes
[18:04] <EriC^^> (booted in uefi mode)
[18:04] <EriC^^> ok, go for it
[18:04] <kmart> explained above, live cd works fine
[18:04] <kmart> and sees the drives correctly
[18:04] <EriC^^> are you in the live usb right now?
[18:05] <kmart> nope
[18:05] <EriC^^> ok, boot it up
[18:05] <kmart> but can mount that partition under wsl2 right now
[18:05] <kmart> im on windows atm
[18:06] <kmart> do you have some thing i could try from livecd?
[18:06] <EriC^^> boot it up and come back here to troubleshoot
[18:18] <linux_daemon> hello everyone, i installed mysql-workbench-community, i can access it just fine running in console: sudo mysql, but from mysql-workbench it says access denied for root@localhost
[18:18] <linux_daemon> any idea how to fix this?
[18:19] <kyonsalt> no root
[18:19] <linux_daemon> how to do that? if i try: admin, then i cant connect
[18:20] <leftyfb> linux_daemon: what version of ubuntu?
[18:21] <linux_daemon> 20.04
[18:22] <leftyfb> linux_daemon: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-reset-your-mysql-or-mariadb-root-password-on-ubuntu-20-04
[18:22] <linux_daemon> let me try
[18:22] <leftyfb> linux_daemon: or simpler: http://www.anoneh.com/254.php
[18:23] <kmart> here
[18:23] <kmart> on livecd now
[18:26] <linux_daemon> leftyfb: now i see server status:stopped
[18:26] <linux_daemon> even though i started the mysql service
[18:27] <EriC^^> kmart: type 'sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999' and paste the link it gives you here
[18:28] <kmart> id rather not give remote access to my workstation to anyone
[18:28] <kmart> plus that app doesnt exist here
[18:29] <kmart> instaleld it
[18:29] <kmart> it shows 3 entries
[18:29] <EriC^^> kmart: it's not remote access, it just pastes the output to termbin.com, also nc is netcate, which is default on any ubuntu
[18:29] <leftyfb> kmart: nothing EriC^^ typed gives access to your machine. It pastes the output to the termbin.com pastebin service so we can read the output without you having to type it out
[18:30] <kmart> it shows 3 entrieshaha ok sorry guys
[18:30] <kmart> *haha ok sorry guys
[18:30] <kmart> sorry, using webclient now
[18:30] <kmart> https://termbin.com/l6bw
[18:33] <EriC^^> kmart: ok, type 'sudo blkid | nc termbin.com 9999'
[18:34] <kmart> https://termbin.com/b26f
[18:35] <EriC^^> kmart: sudo mount /dev/nvme1n1p1 /mnt
[18:35] <kmart> https://termbin.com/yonc
[18:36] <kmart> thats grub.cfg in case that was the enxt step
[18:37] <kmart> minux those extra eeeeee's
[18:37] <kmart> added them by accident momentago
[18:37] <EriC^^> aha
[18:38] <EriC^^> type 'ls -lR /mnt | nc termbin.com 9999'
[18:38] <kmart> https://termbin.com/h350
[18:39] <kmart> https://termbin.com/s3w5
[18:39] <kmart> the EFI part was mounted under x
[18:39] <EriC^^> ok
[18:41] <EriC^^> kmart: nothing is technically wrong with it, we could try to reinstall grub to the efi/uefi list, which might work, but likely i think you have to 'allow' ubuntu via your uefi/bios or maybe disable secureboot
[18:42] <EriC^^> kmart: the uefi entry points to the proper PARTUUID of the efi, and the file exists as specified in the entry, so it should load grub no matter what, the grub.cfg there is just for it to find the actual menu in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, so the fact it's not giving grub at all suggests the uefi just isnt wanting to load it or something
[18:44] <EriC^^> do you want to try reinstalling grub? it just might work
[18:45] <EriC^^> kmart: did you change at all how/where the ubuntu nvme was connected?
[18:54] <kmart> no, the nvme iwht ubuntu is connected where it was
[18:55] <kmart> but secure boot is enabled
[18:56] <kmart> EriC^^: livecd boots just fine though so i dont think its a problem
[18:57] <kmart> so how to reinstall grub ?
[18:59] <EriC^^> kmart: sometimes uefi can be tricky on some devices after the installation, on acer's you have to enable the bios admin password and then 'trust' the ubuntu efi file, etc every manufacturer is different
[18:59] <EriC^^> kmart: type 'sudo umount /mnt/x'
[19:00] <EriC^^> kmart: did you recently enable secureboot? that could be it
[19:00] <kmart> no
[19:00] <kmart> it was always like that
[19:01] <EriC^^> ok, type 'sudo mount /dev/nvme1n1p2 /mnt/x'
[19:02] <kmart> yeh
[19:02] <EriC^^> kmart: type the following "for i in /dev /proc /sys; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt/x$i; done"
[19:03] <kmart> okay now chroot?
[19:03] <EriC^^> yeah then type 'mount /boot/efi'
[19:04] <kmart> chroot /mnt/x
[19:04] <EriC^^> yeah
[19:04] <kmart> done
[19:04] <EriC^^> then the mount /boot/efi command
[19:04] <EriC^^> ok, type "grub-install"
[19:05] <kmart> okay but p2 was SYSTEM partition, that didnt change anything on p1 (EFI) did it?
[19:06] <EriC^^> mount /boot/efi should mount p1
[19:06] <kmart> grub install went fine btw
[19:06] <EriC^^> ok, type 'update-grub'
[19:07] <kmart> shouldnt the grub-install be done with `--uefi-secure-boot`
[19:07] <kmart> ?
[19:07] <EriC^^> that's default i believe
[19:08] <kmart> okay done, reboot?
[19:09] <EriC^^> yeah, type 'exit' then reboot
[19:09] <vmguy23m> I'm back
[19:10] <kmart> thanks you EriC^^
[19:19] <blahboybaz> An article I saw says 20.04 uses Mesa 20.0.2, X.Org Server 1.20.7, and GNOME 3.36. Can anyone confirm if that is correct?
[19:32] <remline> blahboybaz: You can see the package versions for various Ubuntu releases on the ubuntu website. e.g., https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libglapi-mesa
[19:42] <kxsl> I'm trying to use ubuntu on a raspberry pi 2b, but it is incredibly slow. I cannot even move the settings app around the screen smoothly. additional packages or config needed? Something wrong with the pi? Am I expecting too much?
[19:47] <Maik> kxsl: Ubuntu Desktop?
[19:48] <Maik> kxsl: for Ubuntu Desktop you need at least a Pi 4 with 4GB or 8GB to even run smoothly
[19:49] <kxsl> Maik, it says this when I login Welcome to Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-1033-raspi aarch64
[19:50] <kxsl> it was initially headless, but i installed gnome and kodi. I want to use this as a media center
[19:51] <Maik> kxsl: the Pi 2 isn't capable of running Ubuntu with a desktop
[19:52] <kxsl> I'll have to find something else for it do then
[19:53] <Maik> probably just use it with ubuntu server only
[19:53] <Maik> https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi
[20:42] <maxFlexGuest> How can I install multiple FVWM-based desktop environments on my QEMU VM with Ubuntu (I can't find any information about FVWM-Crystal + FVWM Nightshade).
[20:49] <Razva> hi. I'm trying to use guestfish to edit a file. the problem is that each time I'm trying to edit (vi) I press "i" and then every arrow adds an A or B or whatever, so basically vim is totally broken.
[20:50] <ButtDog> Any idea why this cron doesn't run?
[20:50] <ButtDog> 00 00 * * * source /tracking/venv/bin/activate && python /tracking/delete_old_visits.py
[20:52] <olle> Can I automatically disable the mousepad when alt-tab into terminal?
[20:53] <olle> Then enable it when alt-tab to browser again
[20:55] <Razva> solved by doing `apt-get install vim` on the host. thanks anyway!
[20:55] <olle> ?
[20:55] <olle> oh
[20:55] <olle> other question :)
[20:56] <vmguy23m> Yep :)
[21:24] <blahboybaz> Is it safe to perform the operation being shown in this thread?  https://askubuntu.com/a/1163268/1201534
[21:24] <blahboybaz> Is there a chance it would break somthing and cause a bigger problem?
[21:28] <leftyfb> blahboybaz: you shouldn't cross-post
[21:28] <leftyfb> blahboybaz: you are being helped in another channel. Good luck
[21:28] <kmart> EriC^^ didnt work
[21:29] <kmart> i can see in mobo error codes, something like Code:D9
[21:29] <kmart> when i click the ubuntu option in boot menu
[21:34] <kmart> and mobo manual says `D9Error loading Boot Option (LoadImage returned error)`
[21:38] <vmguy23m> What happens if I type "dd" then press enter? Will anything happen? (bash prompt)
[21:41] <EriC^^> vmguy23m: it'll probably just give the help menu
[21:41] <EriC^^> actually seems it does nothing at all
[21:43] <vmguy23m> After Ctrl+C in the blank prompt, it says: 0+0 records in, 0+0 records out, "0 bytes copied, 15.1673 s, 0.0 kB/s"
[21:44] <EriC^^> yup
[21:50] <kmart> definitely bug in grub
[21:50] <kmart> i installed another ubuntu on first nvme
[21:51] <kmart> and that grub from there boots ok and lists as one of the options 2nd ubuntu installation, which boots fine from there
[21:51] <kmart> and D9 mobo error can also come from a crash when bootloader starts
[21:52] <kmart> so somehow old grub doesnt like being loaded from nvme1
[22:01] <cbreak> vmguy23m: dd copies blocks
[22:02] <cbreak> vmguy23m: press ctrl-d instead of ctrl-c
[22:02] <cbreak> that'll close stdin to dd
[22:11] <blahboybaz> I'm not sure the right way / place to report an issue with zoom on ubuntu ?
[22:11] <blahboybaz> There are 2 libs that are required but are missing and unless you install them yourself it will not launch
[22:22] <cbreak> blahboybaz: the zoom from the ubuntu app store thingie seemed to work for me
