[00:56] <kodiak_f> I've read through all the man pages but I can't find an answer for this - with proxy settings for APT, I can't see how to set 'no_proxy' with APT.  This is needed for our proxy since hairpinning back to our local infra is not allowed
[00:56]  * Zayd478 Hello
[00:59] <leftyfb> kodiak_f: did you try: Acquire::http::Proxy "false";
[00:59] <Zayd478> Hello
[00:59] <kodiak_f> Hello leftyfb - Apologies - I should explain that I need proxy for upstream APT repos, but must not use proxy for local on-prem repos
[01:00] <leftyfb> kodiak_f: then that would be a configuration for the proxy server, not the client
[01:00] <leftyfb> !support | Zayd478
[01:01] <kodiak_f> leftyfb:  sometimes upstream proxy servers are out of the control of the Linux user or Linux sysadmin.  Red Hat variants are flexible and allow per-repo proxy settings.  I'm looking for the equivalent for APT.
[01:02] <leftyfb> kodiak_f: there is none as far as I know
[01:02] <kodiak_f> thanks, that is what I'm seeing within the man pages - I may just end up having to go upstream to the apt maintainers to see if there is a way to force APT to honor no_proxy env vars
[01:02] <leftyfb> kodiak_f: though, a quick google search turned this up. Maybe there is: https://askubuntu.com/a/715820/1151311
[01:04] <kodiak_f> ah interesting - thanks
[01:05] <kodiak_f> your google findings beat mine - and from yours I was able to find a possibly more detailed description here https://askubuntu.com/questions/364635/acquirehttpproxy-for-only-specified-repositories -- thanks very much
[01:15] <Doc-saintly31> Hi all. Can anyone guide me on how to update the kernel for a system with LUKS encryption? It appears the grub cfg edited in the booted OS is not the one use during decryption and booting
[01:17] <leftyfb> Doc-saintly31: I have a full LUKS encrypted drive on all of my workstations. Have for years. No issue with updating the kernel package like any other package during regular updates
[01:18] <Doc-saintly31> Im just using the option during install though, and updating the kernrl doesnt seem to affect it.
[01:18] <leftyfb> Doc-saintly31: what do you mean it doesn't seem to affect it? What version of ubuntu?
[01:19] <Doc-saintly31> In my booted system the grub.cfg points to 5.11.15, but when i look at the extra ext4 partition used to decrypt luks i see a grub file and kernel there hardcoded to 5.4
[01:19] <Doc-saintly31> 20.02l4
[01:19] <Doc-saintly31> 20.04*
[01:22] <leftyfb> Doc-saintly31: 5.11.5 is not a supported kernel on ubuntu 20.04
[01:23] <Doc-saintly31> Yes I used mainline to install it.
[01:23] <leftyfb> Doc-saintly31: why?
[01:23] <Doc-saintly31> But why does it work fine without disk encryption. But disk encryption forces an older kernel?
[01:23] <Doc-saintly31> I need support for 11th gen intel chip
[01:51] <pinkos> hi
[01:51] <pinkos> pardon does ubuntu 20.04 come with default firewall rules enabled?
[01:52] <pinkos> ufw doesnt seem to be pre-installed
[01:52] <pinkos> does that mean it has no firewall by default?
[01:52] <leftyfb> pinkos: there are no firewall rules enabled by default, no
[01:52] <pinkos> hmm
[02:00] <pinkos> are you sure there are no firewall rules enabled by default?
[02:00] <leftyfb> pinkos: yes
[02:01] <leftyfb> pinkos: you might want to ask for help with your issue and not what you assume is the cause
[02:01] <pinkos> well i can ssh an instance but not ping or reach its port
[02:01] <pinkos> its running in oracle cloud
[02:02] <leftyfb> pinkos: default images don't have a firewall by default. oracle cloud might have custom images and/or blocking you upstream
[02:03] <leftyfb> pinkos: contact oracle cloud for support. Your issue is more than likely unrelated to the OS you're running
[02:03] <pinkos> ok
[02:13] <CoolRock22> hi
[02:14] <CoolRock22> i have an iMac 2011 27" and on Elementary OS the screen brightness wont work, same thing with Ubuntu.
[02:51] <rome> Hi all. I'm on 18.04 LTS and trying to upgrade to 20.04. When I run do-release-upgrade I get the messages "Restoring original system state" and "Aborting" without any further details as to what went wrong. I've tried various things (e.g., removing external sources, setting my default Python interpreter to 3.x, etc.) but nothing has worked. Any suggestions? (It would be easier to debug with some more verbose output)
[02:54] <pinkos> i added the services http and https using firewall-cmd yet when i do --list-all i dont see http and https under services
[02:54] <pinkos> am i doing something wronig?
[03:02] <tomreyn> rome: there should be a log at /var/log/release-upgrade i think
[03:02] <guiverc> rome, usual reasons are 3rd party packages added (preventing upgrade) so removing them (ppa-purge) & ensuring default python (2 & 3) are unchanged are key.. there are logs but I forget where
[03:03] <Bashing-om> rome: 1st things first - what shows ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' ?
[03:05] <rome> tomreyn: the log is `/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log` but the only relevant line is `2021-04-17 19:40:30,752 DEBUG abort called` :-(
[03:06] <rome> guiverc: I did ppa-purge and tried with both Python 2 and 3 :-(
[03:07] <rome> Bashing-om: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/D3mWXM8BK2/
[03:09] <tomreyn> rome: this would provide yet more info:   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
[03:11] <rome> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/ir6a
[03:11] <tomreyn> also this: apt list --installed | grep 'local\]$' | nc termbin.com 9999
[03:11] <sware> Does anyone know if there is a place to download old PHP packages for i386 arch? I need a specific version that is no longer available.
[03:13] <rome> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/ehye do you think it would help to remove all these packages?
[03:14] <tomreyn> rome: possibly. we don't have any other clue so far
[03:14] <rome> tomreyn: Thanks! Let me try and ping you in a bit.
[03:15] <tomreyn> rome: can you also post the full /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log ?
[03:16] <rome> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/4lck
[03:18] <tomreyn> try installing the "screen" package
[03:21] <tomreyn> also, if you have files returned by this, say so:   ls -l /etc/apt/preferences{,.d/*}
[03:23] <tomreyn> rome: i think i'm seeing the problem. your python is python3, but 18.04 defaults to python2
[03:24] <rome> tomreyn: no files returned by ls -l /etc/apt/preferences{,.d/*}
[03:24] <tomreyn> you should never change the system python version
[03:25] <rome> tomreyn: When I first tried I was on Python 2. I only did an update-alternatives to try to see if that was the problem
[03:26] <rome> It failed after installing screen (and this was after switching back to Python 2)
[03:27] <tomreyn> what is "it" that failed after installing "screen"? and how did "it" fail?
[03:27] <rome> Apologies. do-release-upgrade failed after installing screen. It failed in the same way (though now it was running inside a screen session)
[03:28] <tomreyn> can you post /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log again?
[03:30] <rome> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/pgpoz
[03:32] <rome> Oh, it seems as though the Python version is still 3.x. I thought update-alternatives would fix that. Maybe I should just remove Python 3 entirely
[03:33] <tomreyn> maybe do-release-upgrade actually needs to use python 3, i'm just trying to clarify this
[03:33] <rome> BRB, reboot
[03:48] <tomreyn> rome: your /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log should indeed say: python version: '3.6.9 (default, Jan 26 2021, 15:33:00) [GCC 8.4.0]' - as yours does. the line where it says "abort called" is the problem. apparently do-release-upgrade fails to run some apt functions there. it would normally go on to report "MetaPkgs: ...", "Foreign: ...", "Obsolete: ..." packages and states there, then try modifying your sources.list.
[03:49] <rome> tomreyn: Gotcha. It might be easier at this point to just blow whatever's on the hard disk and replace it with a fresh install, unless you want to try anything in particular before I do so
[03:49] <rome> (Also, thank you for helping)
[03:51] <tomreyn> rome: i'm puzzled really, no idea what may have happened there.
[03:56] <rome> tomreyn: Thanks for trying. Have a good one!
[04:01] <JoeBk> what is the release date for 21.04?
[04:02] <JoeBk> apr 22. I googled it.
[04:09] <pytorch> how do i install certbot without using snapd?
[04:11] <guiverc> pytorch, you haven't provided release details; but https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/certbot
[04:36] <pytorch> guiverc: it seems like that certbot is older version than the current stable
[04:38] <guiverc> deb packages are built for a release.. it's a universe or community supported package, so they probably lack volunteers to re-package & SRU upgraded packages for stable releases... PPAs & 3rd party, or self-build are still options
[04:38] <guiverc> package for my release is 1.12.0-2; you never gave release details
[04:48] <THC_System\420> hey there, I've having a problem with my 18.04 LTS home server where systemd-networkd is continuously logging "Cannot assign requested address" errors when it tries to bind a dhcp ipv6 address
[04:49] <THC_System\420> the weird thing is that the same ipv6 address shows up in `ip address` output and I can ping it from another machine, so I'm not sure if this is a bug or a problem with me not understanding ipv6 :)
[04:52] <THC_System\420> I found this systemd issue in github where others reported similar error messages: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8686. The issue is still open and isn't pin-pointed to being a single specific problem, nor an issue with systemd necessarily. There's a good tip in that thread which shows how to enable debug logging with networkd, which I've done.
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> THC_System\420: you might wanna visit #ubuntu-server for likeminded experts
[05:35] <THC_System\420> ^ sounds good, thanks :)
[08:12] <blackyboy> Hi all
[08:12] <blackyboy> One of application user (user1) pushing files into a SFTP server. Once the SFTP server received the files it will be picked (CUT) by another application user (user2) for processing. Now the application team need to make a copy of those received files to be used by a different application user (user3). The frequency of pushing files to the SFTP is 5 minutes. How can i make the copy of those files?
[08:15] <lotuspsychje> ducasse: ^ perhaps
[08:35] <thatpythonboy> leftyfb: hi i.imgur.com/NVPY9Vv.png what is vpnpassthrough
[08:36] <thatpythonboy> how can i open my router ports for ssh
[08:42] <rory> port forwarding is probably in Security there
[08:43] <rory> I believe VPN passthrough allows you to use IPsec or PPTP VPNs from machines behind NAT
[08:44] <rory> nice https://www.theedgyveg.com/2014/01/20/vegan-buffalo-wings-recipe/
[08:44] <thatpythonboy> why is everyone is #ubuntu obsessed with vegan buffalo wings
[08:45] <rory> I just saw it in that screenshot lol
[08:45] <thatpythonboy> oh clever
[08:47] <rory> on my router I have to first define a service "SSH" that is port 22, and then separately forward the port to that service
[08:47] <rory> but I've also used routers where the port forwarding just requires you to specify a port. so click around. but "port forwading" is what you are looking for.
[08:48] <thatpythonboy> how do those it guys tell windows users to install vnc but without router config manage to remotely control their windows machines, i'd like you to do that rory
[08:49] <rory> which IT guys? Are you sure it's a straight up VNC server and not some remote-access software that calls out to a central server to initiate the connection from behind NAT?
[08:50] <thatpythonboy> it's some remote access on the IT guys side
[08:51] <thatpythonboy> yup i mean from behind NAT or reverse-ssh
[08:51] <submariner> I dont recall much people using vnc in past years. Its usually something like Team Viewer, which exists for linux as well
[08:54] <submariner> I've used team viewer many times to assist windows users
[08:59] <thatpythonboy> https://i.imgur.com/IsbRV6b.png rory
[09:00] <rory> thatpythonboy, you will have to "add custom service" for SSH (port 22)
[09:03] <sabasedigh> Hello. I want to reduce the memory usage of gnome ubuntu. evolution-* is sucking lots of memory.
[09:03] <sabasedigh> what are they?
[09:04] <thatpythonboy> rory: https://i.imgur.com/389gxIW.png
[09:04] <thatpythonboy> 10.0.0.10 is my laptop but what is 10.0.0.3 it's not desktop=10.0.0.12 and router is 10.0.0.1
[09:05] <sabasedigh> how could I remove evolution-*.
[09:05] <rory> thatpythonboy, set those ports both to 22, and enable Use the same range for internal ports
[09:06] <rory> a phone maybe? or an IP address that previously got assigned and the router still remembers it even though it's not currently online?
[09:06] <rory> This is not really an Ubuntu support question
[09:06] <thatpythonboy> sabasedigh: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/MemoryReduction https://linuxhint.com/memory_optimize_gnome/ no idea about evolution never used it
[09:06] <submariner> thatpythonboy, how old is your router ? have you considered flashing openwrt to it ?
[09:06] <thatpythonboy> rory: i get it but i am on ubuntu and ssh is basics of linux
[09:07] <thatpythonboy> i'd never use openwrt on netgear, instead bridge to desktop where i'd use openwrt
[09:07] <rory> set all that stuff to 22 and pick your correct IP and it will work - I don't know how to figure out what the other device is
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> thats more a ##networking question thatpythonboy
[09:14] <thatpythonboy> what's internal starting port
[09:15] <thatpythonboy> i.imgur.com/glkVcZw.png
[09:19] <thatpythonboy> https://i.imgur.com/n8HjiIJ.png now how to ssh
[09:19] <thatpythonboy> ssh user@ip now what's the global ip
[09:19] <thatpythonboy> ifconfig doesn't show the global ip
[09:20] <thatpythonboy> ssh startingport,endingport user@ip ;so what's the actual cmd
[09:20] <thatpythonboy> Apr 18 13:49:33 z sshd[2274]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22. rory
[09:21] <thatpythonboy> the router's port is different than ubuntu's port
[09:30] <rory> set those ports both to 22, and enable Use the same range for internal ports
[09:30] <rory> not 64123 unless you changed SSH server settings in ubuntu to that
[09:34] <thatpythonboy>  what's the ip for wan? ifconfig shows lan
[09:35] <rory> google "what is my IP" it tells you
[09:44] <wyoung> curl https://api.ipify.org
[10:21] <kristian_on_linu> cheers
[10:24] <kristian_on_linu> still no wifi with the t520 on 20.04 (Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205)

[12:10] <ockid> How do I overclock my nvidia 1080 memory on ubuntu 20.04 lts?
[12:15] <wyoung> ockid: You work on yourself, grow up, and forget about overclocking.
[12:15] <ockid> wyoung nice projecting
[12:16] <wyoung> Any time ockid
[12:20] <zen_coder> after reinstalling it is starting again
[12:21] <zen_coder> so what is it with wayland?
[12:21] <zen_coder> it is still not working?
[12:22] <wyoung> ockid: but seriously, overclocking is what teenagers do.
[12:23] <wyoung> Trying to get more performance out of stock equipment, destroying it quickly and using more electricity / fuel.  Same as teenagers with cars.
[12:23] <ockid> wyoung but seriously, you don't understand why people oc memory so cba
[12:23] <wyoung> and boaring out cylinders and adding turbos
[12:23] <wyoung> ockid: I do understand, they are young and immature

[12:33] <[VMGuy23]> Hello BluesKaj
[12:34] <BluesKaj> hi [VMGuy23]
[12:36] <sabasedigh> wyoung: when you play a movie with mpv how many mpv processes do you see in htop?
[12:36] <sabasedigh> I installed oracle java for running android studio
[12:36] <wyoung> sabasedigh: I use VLC
[12:37] <sabasedigh> wyoung: is it better?
[12:37] <sabasedigh> let say is it lighter?
[12:38] <[VMGuy23]> With visualisations on VLC, the sound sounds slightly out of tune (lower) when playing mp3s
[12:39] <wyoung> sabasedigh: I haven't experienced the resource issues you have mentioned if that is waht you mean
[12:39] <wyoung> [VMGuy23]: so use something else for playing music
[12:39] <wyoung> I use Spotify myself
[12:40] <lotuspsychje> !discuss
[12:40] <lotuspsychje> keep things seperated guys
[12:40] <[VMGuy23]> wyoung: For mp3's most players work, Spotify is a bit too much for just MP3s
[12:41] <wyoung> Rhtymenbox is good
[12:42] <lotuspsychje> [VMGuy23]: wyoung keep this channel for support only please
[12:42] <[VMGuy23]> Yep, moving to another channel now
[12:44] <wyoung> lotuspsychje: OK
[13:28] <Iarla> I'm on a fully updated 20.04 machine which has Libreoffice 6.4. I was sent a presentation done with Libre Office 7.0 (on macos) and the layout is all over the place. Would upgrading the Ubuntu version to 7.x fix this, and should I go the snap route or ppa?
[13:39] <longshanks> hey all :)  I want to xfer my media from an internal hdd to a larger (new) hdd. my pc only has space for one internal 3.5 hdd as i have a 2.5 ssd (for OS) and a 3.5 hdd for media. i've attached the drive using a USB caddy. i partioned and formatted (ext4). I've mounted the new drive ok but i can only write files as root. what am i doing wrong?
[13:40] <longshanks> Obvioulsy some kind of permissions problem somewhere. In fact the error I'm getting is permission denied, unless I'm root
[13:41] <JoeBk> longshanks, shouds like you need to change ownership of destination directory.
[13:41] <JoeBk> man chown
[13:42] <JoeBk> s/shounds/sounds
[13:44] <longshanks> JoeBk: i did that
[13:46] <JoeBk> what does ls -ld <directory> show?
[13:47] <longshanks> Ah. think it's working. had to unmount and remount after changing the perms
[13:56] <Iarla> Seems my issue was font related. I'll ask in #libreoffice about that though since it's not Ubuntu related.
[13:59] <remline> Iarla: Good find. It may be appropriate to exchange PDFs instead of libreoffice presentations, depending on the needs and use case.
[14:01] <[VMGuy23]> Fonts crashes on launch
[14:07] <lucas-arg> any ideas how to check whats the proxy sever in the server im connected?
[14:09] <[VMGuy23]> What do you mean?
[14:12] <Iarla> remline: it was a collaboration in this case, but yes, pdf in all other cases makes sense. I'm looking now for a way to quickly get a list of fonts used in an LO document so I can quickly trouble shoot if this happens again.
[14:14] <remline> Iarla: Under File > Properties, Font tab, I see an option "Embed fonts in the document." Perhaps that would be useful for collaboration?
[14:15] <Iarla> remline: oooooh, nice find! I'll try that now and see what happens.
[14:24] <Iarla> remline: oddly, that didn't work. At least not with Impress. It's probably a bug though. Off to #libreoffice again I suppose :)
[14:34] <[VMGuy23]> Opera won't start, shows this: https://bpa.st/YQPQ then nothing happens until I ^C twice
[14:44] <ioria> [VMGuy23], probably an issue with snap and your (probably) installed AMDGPU-PRO
[14:48] <[VMGuy23]> It's the deb from the website
[14:49] <leftyfb> [VMGuy23]: remove it and install from snap. We can't support that here
[14:50] <[VMGuy23]> The snap is no different
[14:50] <ioria> [VMGuy23], for troubleshoot purpose, i suggest to boot with nomodeset and try to launch Opera
[14:51] <[VMGuy23]> What do you mean, boot with nomodeset?
[14:51] <leftyfb> [VMGuy23]: I just installed from the snap and it runs just fine
[14:51] <ioria> [VMGuy23], if you boot with the nomodeset parameters, the video drivers won't be loaded
[14:52] <ioria> the point is the driver, i guess, not the software pacaging
[14:52] <ioria> *packaging
[15:48] <FreeBDSM> hi. Ubuntu 20.04 has mpv 0.32.0, while mpv's stable version is a more recent one, whom to ask to push an update of mpv to ubuntu's repo?
[15:52] <mrkubax10> you can manually install deb with newer version

[17:37] <kristian_on_linu> and then just comment out the rest of this string?
[17:39] <jeremy31> kristian_on_linu: The rest probably doesn't matter as the 6205 shouldn't have bluetooth, the 6235 would
[17:39] <kristian_on_linu> I'll comment it out, then
 options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 swcrypto=1 bt_coex_active=0
 I have this in my iwlwifi.conf
[17:40] <tomreyn> this was before changes, i think. note the value of swcrypto
[17:40] <tomreyn> 11n_disable=8 seems wrong, though
[17:41] <jeremy31> tomreyn: that enables aggressive TX and really helps with some chipsets
[17:41] <tomreyn> oh ok, i assumed it was a boolean
[17:41] <tomreyn> but you're right, it's 1..8
[17:42] <tomreyn> swcrypto is reported to be of type int, default 0 [hardware]
[17:42] <jeremy31> default for 11n_disable is 0
[17:44] <tomreyn> i'm just trying to help set these module parameters how they were, and to values that can make sense, didn't mean to suggest any specific values.
[17:45] <jeremy31> tomreyn: want the default list?
[17:45] <tomreyn> kristian_on_linu: modinfo -p iwlwifi    lists parameters and defaults, i think
[17:46] <jeremy31> If you remove what you add to iwlwifi.conf and remove/install driver it will go back to defaults
[17:47] <tomreyn> kristian_on_linu will work it out, i think.
[17:47] <kristian_on_linu> 11n_disable:disable 11n functionality, bitmap: 1: full, 2: disable agg TX, 4: disable agg RX, 8 enable agg TX (uint)
[17:49] <tomreyn> none of what i read so far seems to explain why you'd change swcrypto from 1 to 8
[17:53] <jeremy31> tomreyn: where was swcrypto set to 8?
 options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=8 bt_coex_active=0 power_save=0
[17:54] <jeremy31> Might have been a typo, I hope
[17:55] <kristian_on_linu> should I have it at 1 or 8?
[17:55] <kristian_on_linu> ah
[17:55] <kristian_on_linu> 8
[17:55] <jeremy31> swcrypto  is a boolean
[17:56] <jeremy31> Y/N or 1/0
[17:56] <kristian_on_linu> ah
[17:57] <kristian_on_linu> options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 # swcrypto=1 bt_coex_active=0 power_save=0 <-- I have this line at the end of iwlwifi.conf now
[18:00] <jeremy31> kristian_on_linu: you can check the current setting with> grep [[:alnum:]] /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/*
[18:00] <_Sym_> kristian_on_linu, what iwlwifi chipset are you referring to?
[18:01] <kristian_on_linu> Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34)
[18:02] <kristian_on_linu> Sym, is that not a Western alphabet S at the start of your name?
[18:03] <_Sym_> its an underscore
[18:13] <_Sym_> kristian_on_linu, I was just looking for the latest firmware update for your chipset and it says iwlwifi-6000g2a-ucode-18.168.6.1
[18:13] <kristian_on_linu> ah, no idea why hexchat is not showing that underscor
[18:13] <kristian_on_linu> *underscore
[18:14] <kristian_on_linu> the problem's been solved (it was just me using the wrong pw), so no reason to do more :)
[18:14] <_Sym_> ah ok
[18:16] <sabasedigh> I want to  export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
[18:16] <sabasedigh> every boot and shell indepen.
[18:16] <sabasedigh> Where should I put it.
[18:17] <kristian_on_linu> but thanks anyway, _Sym_, I'm glad to see that #ubuntu is still a helpful place ;)
[18:29] <tomreyn> sabasedigh: /etc/environment
[18:33] <sabasedigh> tomreyn: should I made it executable?
[18:34] <tomreyn> sabasedigh: no
[18:38] <tomreyn> sabasedigh: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man7/environ.7.html
[18:38] <sappheiros> The topic's link leads to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedHardware which is outdated: Is there a better resource to help me build an Ubuntu-compatible Ethereum node? Can someone here help me refine https://newegg.io/323bb6a or refer me to a better forum to ask? Should I ask at https://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=332 after checking the stickies?
[18:39] <sappheiros> I will replace that NVIDIA graphics card with an AMD one per a different website's recommendation...
[18:39] <tomreyn> we don't do hardware recommendations here, but #ubuntu-offtopic should work
[18:39]  * sappheiros stifles a tear
[18:40] <sappheiros> 'k thanks ...
[18:40] <leftyfb> sappheiros: this might be a good starting point for you: https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop
[18:40] <compdoc> sappheiros, try ##hardware too
[18:41] <sappheiros> leftyfb: I found that list of Dell, hp, and lenovo, but Dell seemed not to be sufficiently configurable (and required purchasing Windows) ... thanks
[18:42] <compdoc> what's needed on the OS side, just ubuntu and one or two software packages?
[18:43] <sappheiros> compdoc: for an Ethereum node? (i dunno.)
[18:44] <compdoc> sounds like a large learning curve
[18:44] <tatertots> sappheiros: fairly common knowledge that purchasing any of dell ubuntu offerings will cost more than the same computer shipped with windows

[18:55] <Roey> hi
[18:55] <Roey> can mp3splt split according to a timestamp list?
[18:56] <Roey> or, which linux utility can I use to do this?
[18:56] <Roey> thanks
[18:57] <s0ullight> hey, anyone who knows how to enable the mic of airpods pro on ubuntu?
[19:03] <tomreyn> s0ullight: https://superuser.com/questions/1588750/mono-mic-instead-of-stereo-sound-for-bluetooth-headphones-on-ubuntu sums up the sad situation regarding bluetooth devices on linux
[19:06] <tomreyn> you'd need to set those to a HSP or HFP profile (if supported), and, for the latter, patch pulseuadio, i think.
[19:07] <s0ullight> I can't seem to switch to HSP from A2DP
[19:07] <tomreyn> which ubuntu release are you running?
[19:08] <s0ullight> 20.04
[19:09] <tomreyn> https://askubuntu.com/a/1120106 may work then
[19:12] <s0ullight> trying it now
[19:13] <tomreyn> there's a comment "Didn't work for airpods pro" though.
[19:17] <s0ullight> it didn't
[19:20] <tomreyn> s0ullight: apprently, for airpods pro (there are two hardware versions, though, from what i read), you also need: https://askubuntu.com/a/1063582
[19:21] <tomreyn> so you may need "ControllerMode = bredr" in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
[19:21] <s0ullight> did that already, doesn't help with mic
[19:22] <tomreyn> right, that's just about getting it to show up at all
[19:22] <vlm> trying to build a new profile with aa-easyprof /path/bin keep getting "ERROR: Invalid path for binary: /path/bin" any clue?
[19:22] <vlm> new apparmor profile that is
[19:22] <s0ullight> out of the box I could connect it and use as headphones, I'm trying to use them as a headset (mic included)
[19:22] <s0ullight> but that's rather tricky it seems
[19:23] <tomreyn> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1508807
[19:26] <Roey> hello how do I split an mp3 album mp3 into smaller mp3s, according to a list of time stamps and track names?
[19:27] <tomreyn> Roey: did you try a web search on this, yet?
[19:28] <tomreyn> if you'd like to do it with a gUI, audacity is probably the easiest
[19:28] <eliocamp> Hello. I'm re-installing ubuntu over a previous install. Is it advisable / necessary to delete all the hidden config folders? I don't want to carry any config options.
[19:29] <leftyfb> eliocamp: why are you installing over it? Just reformat and reinstall. Then restore from backup
[19:30] <eliocamp> I have home in another partition, so I will be reformating the / partition.  I don't have an external HDD to do backups, unfortunately :(
[19:31] <tomreyn> cloud storage could also work, i guess
[19:33] <leftyfb> eliocamp: I would REALLY make backups your priority over anything else
[19:36] <eliocamp> Yeah, I'll get an external HDD in a couple of days. Perhaps also an old laptop to use as a back up server. But for the time being, I'm working with what I've got. My concern is that old config files would mess up apps installed with the new version of ubuntu if they have some changes between versions.
[19:37] <leftyfb> eliocamp: right, I start from scratch and pick and choose which configs I copy back over. I've been working on an ansible playbook to do all this for me for a while now.
[19:41] <ordos> Hi, does anyone here perhaps use the Roccat Ryos keyboard and if so does the T keys (T1, T2, T3) work by default out of the box or did you need to install custom drivers to use them in Ubuntu? Please ping my nickname if you reply. Thanks :-)
[19:44] <eliocamp> Thanks, leftyfb. I'd check which configs I want to keep.
[19:46] <matsaman> ordos: there does appear to be a driver specifically for it, which usually means it's worth having
[19:47] <ordos> matsaman, thanks I'll look into that. I'm busy researching it and have come across some drivers. Just wondering about out of the box support for now. But good to know that I at least have a plan B
[19:47] <matsaman> yeah, sorry <shrug>
[19:55] <Roey> tomreyn: thank you I'll look at that then
[20:19] <[VMGuy23]> i installed AMDGPU, then uninstalled because it didn't work on 20.10, and now my screen is stuck at default resolution (which is 1080p) and no other monitors are detected
[20:19] <[VMGuy23]> Any help?
[20:26] <glamboy> Hi, sorry if this is a sensitive topic, but I don't know where to ask it. I used to be an old Ubuntu user back in the Ubuntu 6.06 days, and now I find myself with technologies such as snap/flatpak and a whole lot of flame wars occurring around them. I am honestly very lost.
[20:27] <[VMGuy23]> glamboy: #ubuntu-discuss
[20:27] <glamboy> Thank you!
[20:28] <[VMGuy23]> no problem
[20:44] <fishbait> i need a bit of help does anyone have examples of nftables that runs ipv4 nat-masqueade and is ipv6 compatible?
[20:46] <fishbait> ive gotten as far as getting my test old-ass-ibook-g4 to get an ip but i need somewhere to start on the routing tables
[20:48] <fishbait> its quiet here....
[21:02] <fishbait> anyone out there active?
[21:03] <cbreak> we're all dead.
[21:03] <fishbait> oh thank god its just dead
[21:03] <petrj> talking dead
[21:04] <blahboybaz> I'm having some kind of problem with my nvidia card but the more I try to look for infos on it the more errors I get
[21:04] <fishbait> anyone know where i can find an nft example that runs ipv4/ipv6 dual stack and run ipv4 as masquerade?
[21:04] <fishbait> *nftables example
[21:04] <Maik> !patience | fishbait
[21:05] <blahboybaz> It won't work with obs (get an error), then I get an weird pcie bus error when I just close the lid on the laptop overnight, then some commands don't seem to work to get infos on it
[21:05] <fishbait> nah i thought my irc web client had borked
[21:05] <fishbait> and typed it again but made a typo
[21:05] <Maik> sure
[21:06] <blahboybaz> Is anyone familiar with nvidia driver?
[21:07] <leftyfb> fishbait: you might try #ubuntu-server. You issue is not ubuntu specific and a bit beyond the scope of questions regularly asked here
[21:07] <petrj> anyone tried installing ubuntu on m1 bare metal https://corellium.com/blog/linux-m1?
[21:07] <fishbait> ah okay i'll try that lefty THANK YOU!
[21:07] <petrj> i'll buy if it works :D
[21:08] <cbreak> why not use mac os?
[21:09] <leftyfb> petrj: it's not officially supported. You'll be on your own there
[21:09] <cbreak> it'll be so much better, since it actually has drivers for all the hardware
[21:09] <cbreak> even if linux "works", you probably won't have proper support for anything
[21:11] <petrj> drives on ubuntu work on intel-based mac flawlessly. m1 is new, so i guess it will take some time to get all drives working (if they aren't already)?
[21:11] <petrj> i prefer ubuntu over mac, unless it is not possible :)
[21:12] <leftyfb> petrj: then don't buy a mac
[21:14] <petrj> hardware is vendor's choice, software is user's. i think apple announced that they do not restrict users to install other os on m1.
[21:19] <cbreak> ... for now...
[21:19] <cbreak> petrj: but apple won't provide GPL drivers for their iGPU
[21:19] <cbreak> and I doubt they provide enough documentation to make it easy to write one from scratch either
[21:21] <petrj> bet, and they haven't followed standards even on the hardware side as corellium lab pointed out in that article.
[21:22] <petrj> i'll then wait for the next 'faster than m1 chip' non-man laptop :/
[21:24] <petrj> non-mac*
[22:01] <FreeBDSM> hi. Ubuntu 20.04 has mpv 0.32.0, while mpv's stable version is a more recent one, whom to ask to push an update of mpv to ubuntu's repo?
[22:02] <leftyfb> !latest | FreeBDSM
[22:02] <FreeBDSM> is it against some internal guidelines to publish updates to LTS branhes?
[22:02] <FreeBDSM> branches*
[22:03] <leftyfb> FreeBDSM: Ubuntu is not a rolling release. Very few packages are kept updated to the latest. It's mainly bug and security fixes till the next release
[22:07] <FreeBDSM> leftyfb: yeah, but did you just describe what's generally happening or are there some policies to not push updates?
[22:07] <FreeBDSM> because the goal of just keeping old version - is stupid
[22:10] <leftyfb> FreeBDSM: is there a particular feature that you need that is in .33 as opposed to .32 which was release 7 months later?
[22:11] <leftyfb> also mpv .33 was released 7 months after the release of Ubuntu 20.04
[22:11] <FreeBDSM> leftyfb: in fact, yes. Currently available version of mpv lacks a feature of not showing subtitles if they match audio language
[22:12] <leftyfb> FreeBDSM: ok, and did you go to mpv's website that points you to their official PPA which has the version you're looking for?
[22:14] <FreeBDSM> leftyfb: no, I did not, as I don't like this approach.
[22:31] <Biruwa> Hi there. We're trying to install Ubuntu Linux on a Macbook Air, 2020 Model number A2179. It's a last-gen Intel (x86_64) laptop (i.e. not the M1 chip). It has a T2 security chip on it, which I think is complicating the process. The installation fails every time at the GRUB bootloader stage. Does anyone have any advice?
[22:32] <Biruwa> The specific error message that I get is: "Executing 'grub-install/dev/nvme0n1 failed \n this is a fatal error"
[22:34] <jeremy31> Biruwa: Have you tried an install without connecting to the internet?
[22:35] <Biruwa> Yes, all install attempts were done without wireless connectivity.
[22:35] <Biruwa> I tried to specifically install Ubuntu 20.04, as well as the 21.04 beta. An earlier troubleshooting cycle has implied that there might be better compatibility with 21.04, because it has a more recent Linux kernel.
[22:36] <Biruwa> But unfortunately, 21.04 fails with the same error.
[22:36] <jeremy31> Biruwa: I just wondered as some updates to grub caused issues
[22:36] <jeremy31> You should consider reporting a bug
[22:37] <Biruwa> Ah, I see. I'll troubleshoot a bit more and dig through some older stackexchange/forum threads.
[22:37] <Biruwa> Hopefully someone else here would have some further insight and or ideas. I'm sure people have gotten Linux to work on a recent-series Apple before.
[22:37] <jeremy31> Might want to search bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[22:38] <Biruwa> Thank you.
[23:17] <basenode> how can i restart my bluetooth? restart bluetooth.service doesn't fix my problem
[23:17] <basenode> (which is that the bluetooth settings page isn't allowing me to turn on bluetooth, i can click the button but it appears to stay off)
[23:19] <Bashing-om> basenode: systemd try as ' systemctl start bluetooth.service ' .
[23:20] <basenode> Bashing-om: that was the first thing i tried like i mentioned above, but no dice
[23:20] <basenode> normally I would think that would be enough
[23:22] <basenode> ok modprob worked
[23:22] <basenode> *prbe
[23:22] <basenode> *probe
[23:22] <basenode> thanks ladies
[23:22] <Bashing-om> basenode: Humm .. if you run ' journalctl -f ' in another window. when starting bluetooth are there any hints in the journalctl output ?
