[01:40] I'm getting "PCIe Bus error: severity=Uncorrected (Non-Fatal), type-Transaction Layer, (Receiver 10) device [8086:abdc] error status/mask 00200000/00000000 [21] ACSViol" after closing the lid on my laptop. Not all the time but it has happened a couple times. Is there any way to tell what is causing it? [01:41] I did some google search and it looks like people are talking about nvidia (which I have). But I'm not sure they are having the precisely identical error message - very close but different numbers maybe. === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK_ [02:18] did ubuntu remove the torrent option to download 20.04?

[03:53] I verified the ISO before installing, as well [03:55] bumblefuzz: 22 is for ssh [03:55] dropbear is an ssh implementation [03:55] as far as I know that's all normal except for it being called dropbear and not ssh [03:56] maybe Ubuntu's default ssh is dropbear? No idea [03:56] doubt it, probably openssh like everybody else [03:56] probably whatever you portscanned with is biased and trying to get people to use dropbear instead of ssh =P [05:10] anyone have any idea why a mobile device would have wrong Mac address listed on router than in the iOS about ? [05:10] it could be faking its id [05:11] It’s not a private Mac, it’s just wrong/mismatch... it’s an xfinity router [05:11] it says 'mac address'?

[07:39] i don't understand why it adds a new user upon first connection, no matter if you compiled it as single user mode [07:39] it got one this year after many without [07:41] thats crazy. last time i used a bnc it was znc... dont know if thats an alternative for u ? but since this is not an ubuntu package, cant give u much of a support [07:41] may be theres a support channel out there for that tool? [07:41] there isn't, unfortunately [07:42] tega: whats the issue with adding a new user. u dont want a user beeing able to add a second user? or whats the issue there === xet7_ is now known as xet7 [08:00] TheBigK02 i compiled the psybnc selecting single user, because i'm the only user and in any case i want it to be so [08:00] when i first connect to it, what it does first is adding a new user! [08:00] basically the opposite of the way i compiled it. [08:02] this way, it creates values i don't want. It doesn't even use the vhost i set in the config [08:03] Hi, can you advice ?

I don't know how to solve the issue. Any ideas? [09:04] codingCookie: sounds like the bios is read only [09:05] I can change this in the BIOS, correct? [09:05] codingCookie: maybe you can set something in the bios to remove it, or maybe set bios admin password and get more options, or update the bios, you could always trick it by switching the efi files of windows and ubuntu to load ubuntu [09:05] Thanks a lot EriC^^ I will try that out!

I prepared a USB Stick with Windows10 files, but when I boot from the USB it just shows my a blinking line. Anyone knows where the problem is? Maybe I have the wrong bootloader installed? [11:57] codingCookie: how did you flash the usb stick with windows?

[12:57] hey i have some recommendation [12:57] on the welcome screen [12:57] when launching the App store don't make it a sub-process to the welcome page [12:58] because if you close that screen by clicking "Done" it closes the app store [12:58] so probably a bug [13:00] also the error messages in the app store are too unfriendly [13:00] should have a simple error message and then [13:00] more details if the user wants to debug [13:01] like if a snap is doing something dont say error /shjskdg/sfewolge: to many attempt blah blah [13:01] that is super unfriendly and incoherent [13:01] should say "Snap is currently busy" try again in a moment [13:01] or even better just have a Queue system and handle it properly [13:03] also whats the point of having updates in the installer if I have updates after I am done installing? [13:03] just remove the check box or do it the right way [13:04] goddard: this is not really the channel for reccomends [13:04] goddard: if you have a wishlist or an idea, please use ubuntu-bug packagename [13:04] these are things that make linux seem so buggy [13:05] goddard: see also the https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-store-desktop existing bugs [13:06] goddard: if you want to discuss wishlists, come to #ubuntu-discuss === MalkbabY_ is now known as MalkbabY === alloy is now known as Iron_Chef === Iron_Chef is now known as alloy [13:30] Hiya, anyone good with the cloud-config? I have a user-data file to auto install ubuntu. It works perfectly but it has one "Downloading and installing security updates" which happens before the late-commands are run. It takes ages, I was hoping it was possible to skip that since when it is installed our script does a full upgrade anyway. This way we can quickly get the images on the devices and deploy them. [13:31] https://i.imgur.com/F8wsLuu.png - I tried "repo_upgrade: no" but for no avail. [13:33] how do I get apt to keep downloaded packages? [13:44] can anyone help me to understand why my notebook is not being charged by a LG usb-c screen (34uc99)? [13:47] Hi, people.  I need some information about the package "ubuntu-drivers-common" on Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop... When installed, it kinda wrecks the whole kernel, a lot of modules just disappear - including ethernet and wireless. Can anyone give me some info about what exactly is "ubuntu-drivers-common" and what does it do, so I can know if it's safe to [13:47] remove from the script? [13:53] CustosLimen: Take a look at apt-mark [13:53] will check === billybigrigger1 is now known as billybigrigger [13:55] not sure how that helps though, I want to do apt install socat, and then have socat-....deb stay on disk, does not seem like apt-mark can help me there [13:56] CustosLimen: What is removing socat from disk? [13:56] I guess apt, it installs it and then when it is installed the .deb file is removed [13:57] CustosLimen: I joined after you posted your original question - but if you need the .deb file, can't you just do `apt-get download`? [14:02] Hi. I may have stumbled upon a known bug - or it has an entirely different course, which I need help in idenfitiying: I run an Ubuntu server (20.04). When I was trying to do a normal 'sudo apt-get update', the server could not be resolved. So I did a few checks and found that /etc/resolv.conf contains an entry (written there by network manager, as [14:02] per comment in the file) which is 127.0.0.53 - but not my real DNS which would 192.168.1.1. The correct DNS has no issues in resolving the server names, I verified that. I follow a few hints on stackexchange but could not get i resolved yet. What should I try next? [14:03] I found a bug entry about this behavior, supposedly a systemd bug. But there has to be some way around it... [14:05] larkfisherman: I could, but I want apt get install to not delete the cache after installing [14:06] YeOldHinnerk: afaik 127.0.0.53 is served by systemd-resolved. Is systemd-resolved running? [14:06] Yes. [14:07] Should it not be? [14:08] YeOldHinnerk: It should, afaik. [14:09] I would suppose so too. But why does it not show my normal DNS? Oddly, when I login per web interface and use the gui, the ethernet connections properties show the right DNS. But as I said apt-get can not resolve. [14:10] and my best guess is this weird entry in resolv.conf. [14:10] because that's what nslookup is using. [14:10] CustosLimen: The only thing I can think of is if somehow caching is disabled in config. What is the content of "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d"? === thebope is now known as fabio_ === fabio_ is now known as fabiofrombronxki [14:13] larkfisherman: https://bpa.st/3ROQ [14:14] I added Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true"; and APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages "true"; but it has no effect [14:14] while downloading the deb files are there but as soon as install finishes the deb files are removed [14:15] well it is already gone when install returns [14:15] ah wait [14:15] I see it [14:15] thanks :) [14:17] Let me rephrase: resolv.conf cotains 127.0.0.53. Then why to the ethernet conenctions know about 192.168.1.1? And why doesn't apt-get use the proper one? [14:17] CustosLimen: `Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt";`? :D [14:18] CustosLimen: Or was it something else...? Anyways, I'm glad you found it :) [14:18] larkfisherman: it was this file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/docker-clean [14:18] doing rm stuff inside var/cache/apt [14:27] YeOldHinnerk: Did I undestand this right - nslookup properly resolves the apt repository domains, but apt-get doesn't? [14:38] hi there ! [14:39] i have some webcam issues and i need some help please ^^' [14:40] larkfisherman No, neither does. [14:42] CustosLimen: good find!

[14:45] someone gifted me a logitech C930c, but it's not recognized by ubuntu or windows... i tried everything logitech told me to, nothing work, i've tried to direct link the device with the driver, but not functionning either... (sorry for my english, i'm french) [14:54] GromyGlou: if it's not working in Windows or Ubuntu, maybe there is a reason it was given to you for free [14:55] it was a gift for my birthday, apparently ordered via a website [14:56] after some research, i found that the Logitech C930c is for the asian area, but apparently, it work for some peoples, but not for me [15:01] if needed, i can give the lsusb -v result for the device [15:13] so, I just got a new laptop with this wireless card in it [15:13] but I can't connect faster than 150 Mbps on wifi, even standing right next to the AP [15:13] how can I see why my wifi card is so slow on ubuntu [15:13] ? [15:15] bumblefuzz, run "lspci | grep -i wireless" to get your wifi card model [15:16] Intel Corporation Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (201NGW) (rev 30) [15:16] it's brand new so it should be faster than 150 Mbps [15:18] bumblefuzz, what is your Ubuntu version and kernel version? [15:18] (uname -r for kernel version) [15:18] I installed it last night [15:19] 5.6.0-1054-oem [15:19] bumblefuzz, so what Ubuntu version? cat /etc/lsb-release [15:20] DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu [15:20] DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04 [15:20] DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal [15:20] DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS" === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [15:22] if "ubuntu-drivers list-oem" does not show anything you could try to upgrade to the HWE stack [15:22] oem-somerville-beric-icl-meta [15:22] oem-somerville-meta [15:22] I'm not really familiar with the OEM kernels, but yeah, kernel update is your best bet for fixing hardware support [15:23] i would not try to upgrade then [15:23] ? [15:23] you will lose those extra functionality provided by your OEM [15:23] kernel update is best bet.... try not to upgrade... [15:23] I don't understand [15:24] may decrease performance or you can lose functionality of some hardware [15:24] so, then do I call dell? [15:24] i dont think dell will give you support for that [15:25] but they are the OEM [15:25] right? [15:25] bumblefuzz, I thought you said you installed it yourself yesterday. Or did Dell install the OS? [15:25] for the components you bought from them.. yes [15:25] I installed the OS [15:26] you can find out what these drivers are and if you need them. i have to experience with the oem kernel [15:26] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Desktop [15:26] i guess nobody can help me with my webcam issue ? [15:27] GromyGlou, if it does not work on any system it may be a hardware problem? [15:27] does anyone know of an easy way to experiment with broken packages without messing up my system? Is there a quick way to setup a chroot for something like that? I'm trying to install something that requires some python2 packages, and I'm nervous to screw up the system https://dw1zws.com/how-to-install-chirp-on-ubuntu-20-04/ [15:27] Ravage: how can i be sure of this ? [15:28] jayjo, i use lxd for that [15:28] GromyGlou, windows should detect and download automatically the correct driver, if i'am not mistaken [15:28] also every logitec webcam i tried so far just worked out of the box on ubuntu [15:28] so a hardware problem is likely [15:29] you can try "lsusb" and check if it shows up [15:29] Is there some way to see when Ubuntu will update to a patched version of GNOME 3.38.4? [15:29] already tried [15:30] GromyGlou, if it does not even detect the device it is broken [15:30] Ravage: i've been looking on the net for 3 month now, no one have this issue. i can give you the lsusb -v for the device if you want [15:30] GromyGlou: you said it yourself: "someone gifted me a logitech C930c, but it's not recognized by ubuntu or windows..." So a hardware issue could be possible [15:31] GromyGlou, unplug it, replug and run 'dmesg | tail | nc termbin.com 9999' [15:31] ioria: they left [15:31] oh [15:31] so, what exactly is wrong with my system? [15:32] I still don't understand what the problem is [15:32] or what to do [15:32] too new hardware maybe bumblefuzz [15:32] GromyGlou, unplug it, replug and run 'dmesg | tail | nc termbin.com 9999' [15:32] okay [15:32] @Maik if it's THAT new... why does it work at all? [15:33] I use ubuntu mate installed with autologin, after installation it booted once, i did all upgrades that where suggested and after reboot I only get a black screen at the point where it should login [15:34] ioria: done, how can i give you the result ? [15:34] GromyGlou, paste the url you got here [15:34] https://termbin.com/atdr [15:36] GromyGlou, not enought : 'dmesg | tail -20 | nc termbin.com 9999' [15:36] okay [15:37] ioria: https://termbin.com/o9bg [15:39] GromyGlou, what's your kernel ?

[15:41] GromyGlou, cat /etc/issue [15:41] ty i look [15:41] guess so, that kernel is old [15:41] yep, 142 actually [15:42] or you can try the hwe [15:42] Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS \n \l [15:42] GromyGlou, sudo apt update [15:42] i try ^^ [15:43] do or do not, there is no try :) [15:43] GPG error :o [15:44] maybe i should reinstall ubuntu ? [15:44] if you have a backup of your data you can do that [15:44] go with 20.04 then if you decide to do so [15:44] i suggest at least 20.04 LTS [15:44] i will ^^ [15:45] ty all, i keep you in touch ^^ [15:45] GromyGlou, you can paste the output , if you want [15:45] ok [15:45] ok, good luck GromyGlou [15:45] ty again for your time ^^ [15:45] yw [15:52] So no one knows how/when gnome patches are scheduled for updates?

[19:08] the ip:port doesn;t [19:08] let me check python [19:09] matsaman, same [19:13] I have verified on the third device and this is the same [19:13] so I can only connect to that server on the host machine [19:14] hmmm [19:14] maybe pastebin your program, your ss -tlp output, iptables -L output from both machines? [19:15] yes just a moment === fabiofrombronxki is now known as newguy === newguy is now known as newerguy [19:17] sarnold, https://termbin.com/ic1s [19:17] https://termbin.com/96hq [19:18] mra90: so both machines are on a 192.168 IP? [19:19] not sure if i get your question [19:19] they got ip addresses from the router ight? [19:28] evening [19:28] is there a way to completely blacklist SSIDs in the network picker in Ubuntu? [19:28] ok it works on two other devices [19:28] for the avoidance of the XY problem, it's to stop my laptop always joining the wrong network on boot [19:29] only not on the one behind a VPN [19:29] why is VPS blocking it? [19:34] <[VMGuy23]> in Graphics (in Settings -> About) it used to say "AMD Raven2" but now it says "llvmpipe (LLVM 11.0.0, 256 bits)" aftr installing then removing an incompatible driver. I can't configure display settings at all and my second monitor is not displaying. Help [19:35] mra90: it's just configured that way [19:35] mra90: why're you using a VPN if you want it to work as it ordinarily would on the same network [19:36] matsaman, yeah I think it make sense [19:36] well I sometimes need to connect to VPN in order to do some other work [19:36] which requires VPN connection, so I stayed ON it [19:38] ah [19:38] you probably need only be more judicious about turning that off and on [19:38] you could configure around it, too, though; extra work [19:39] yeah I think I would ask my IT department - if that is allowed === newerguy is now known as thebope [20:09] i want to install 20.04's lm-sensors on 18.04, how should i do that? [20:09] (well doesn't have to be 20.04's, but at least a newer version) [20:12] hansh: two options, you could try to install the binaries directly from a newer version, follow links on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lm-sensors until you find the packages for the version and architecture you want [20:12] hansh: but they may refuse to install, in which case backporting them would probably work [20:13] hansh: if you ahve to do that backport, check out backportpackage from the ubuntu-dev-tools package [20:14] thanks === holgersson_ is now known as holgersson === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto [20:39] Hi, I have problems with dualboot. I installed 20.10 after a Windows10 Installation on a fresh SSD. On startup I get "System BootOrder not found" and ubuntu starts [20:39] both installation were done in EFI mode [20:41] the notebook ist quite old, the only bios setting regarding efi is "legacy or both"....no secure/fast boot or something similar [20:41] kri_: any windows entry in > efibootmgr [20:42] efibootmgr |grep -i win [20:42] Boot000A* Windows Boot Manager [20:44] No Grub menu at boot, just right into Ubuntu, post URL from terminal for> sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:44] in BIOS BootOrder there is only one new entry "ubuntu" that is set to first automaticaly [20:44] exactly no grub...the error "system bootOrder is not found" is shown for about 5seconds and than ubuntu starts [20:45] https://termbin.com/6j2r [20:47] It shows GPT with an EFI System partition that appears was installed by Windows as it is 105MB, if it was done by Ubuntu it would be about 500 MB [20:48] kri_: see if a windows entry is shown with> sudo update-grub [20:48] I did not create an EFI partition in Ubuntu install dialog, just selected "manual" and used the free space for / and formated it [20:49] Windows Boot Manager auf /dev/sda1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi gefunden [20:49] erledigt [20:49] found :) [20:50] kri_: Hopefully that will make Grub menu appear at boot so you can select to boot Windows there [20:50] I tried this allready, does not help [20:50] same sh....ubuntu starts :) [20:51] kri_: post URL for> cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:51] is this error written by ubuntu/windows or the bios? [20:52] https://termbin.com/ehas [20:52] If I run `mount -t cifs -o user=user,pass=pass //myserver/dir /mnt' it works. But if I put the line `//myserver/dir /mnt user=user,pass=pass 0 0` in /etc/fstab I get cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13. Why is that? [20:53] kri_: in terminal> gedit admin:///etc/default/grub [20:54] change GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden to GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu #then save and exit and do another sudo update-grub and reboot [20:54] IanLiu: I think I've heard that 'funny' characters in the username or password can be misparsed out of the fstab version; try sticking to 'safe' characters like digits and alphabetical chars [20:55] jeremy31: same :( [20:56] kri_: you rebooted already? [20:56] yes sure [20:58] kri_: If that computer is from about 2012 or earlier, you might have to switch to Legacy only and reinstall Windows and Ubuntu [20:59] jeremy31: it is from 2011 and I thought about that too. But 20.10 is not supported in legacy I think [21:00] kri_: 20.10 should support both yet [21:01] jeremy31: great to hear....I will try this [21:01] Thanks for your time :) [21:01] kri_: don't have too much fun [21:20] Is there a way to reduce memory usage on ubuntu gnome? === rickard9 is now known as rickard [21:21] i.e disable/delete some process/Core_gnome_apps [21:28] o/ Howdy, I'm using the ESM repo for Trusty, but I'm getting MD5 mismatches. I've cleaned up the files in /var/lib/apt/lists but still showing issues [21:28] W: Failed to fetch https://esm.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-infra-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages Hash Sum mismatch [21:28] This appears to be an upstream issue [21:28] I hope I'm reporting it correctly :) [21:31] Perk: look around in /var/lib/apt/lists for the download -- it might be in partial/, I'm not too sure.. [21:31] Perk: read the contents of the thing, the usual problem is silly proxies doing silly things, but maybe whatever is in the file will give you a good idea of what went worng [21:31] Rock on, will do. Thanks! [21:38] jeremy31: windows is installed now, just clicked through ubuntu installation and in the end the installed warns that there is not EFI partition and ubuntu may fail to start [21:39] Ii forced to continue now but it sounds not really good [21:39] Perk: heh, yeah, it might be a problem upstream. I'm poking around. :) thanks! [21:39] kri_: is BIOS set to Legacy only? [21:40] jeremy31, yes I set it to legacy only [21:40] kri_: did you get a text grub screen when you booted the ISO? [21:40] yes [21:41] and /sys/firmware/efi does not exist [21:41] so the installer started the legacy mode [21:41] kri_: That was the EFI boot then, there is a different boot in Legacy mode with a graphic that has something about automatic start in 10 seconds [21:42] hmmm yes I know the graphic you mean [21:43] but shouldn't there be /sys/firmware/efi now? [21:43] when it really started in EFI mode? [21:44] kri_: check in terminal> mokutil --sb-state [21:45] EFI vars are not supported on this system [21:45] I am still wondering if 20.10 is fine with legacy...I was reading something that the support was stopped with 20.04 [21:45] kri_: I am not sure why it is complaining about no EFI system partition then [21:46] ok I will finish the installation and hope :) [21:46] kri_: how did you put the ISO on USB? [21:46] kri_,jeremy31, perhaps related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1915152 [21:46] Launchpad bug 1893964 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Hirsute) "duplicate for #1915152 Installation of Ubuntu Groovy with manual partitioning without an EFI System Partition fails on 'grub-install /dev/sda' even on non-UEFI systems" [High,Fix released] [21:47] jeremy31, I am using a DVD [21:48] usb did not start in legacy mode [21:48] so I tried to burn it and that seemed to work :) [21:49] kri_: any reason not to use 20.04 on that machine? 20.04 is supported until 2025 and 20.10 is only supported until this August [21:49] no reason, 20.04 would be also fine [21:50] but the website stated that >=20.04 does not support legacy [21:51] so you think I should give 20.04 a try? [21:51] kri_: I doubt that is correct, as I am using Mint that is based on Ubuntu 20.04 on another computer and it works in Legacy boot [21:52] ok than I am going to download it [21:53] kri_: It is just the boot loader(grub) that needs to support Legacy. I haven't heard that grub-pc was dropped [21:53] ok [21:55] https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-legacy-server/releases/20.04.1/release/ [21:55] for server images there is a "legacy" version [21:56] for the desktop version that does not seem to exist, right? [21:57] kri_: Do you want GUI or server? [22:01] hm installation failed with an grub error. but when rebooting grub comes up and entries for ubuntu and windows seem good [22:03] should I be happy with that? [22:03] kri_: see if the menu options work [22:03] just started ubuntu and it works [22:04] doing the updated now and will try windows after that [22:04] kri_: ok [22:10] jeremy31, ok I just did an update-grub und grub-install /dev/sda2. Both worked fine. Windows and Ubuntu boot fine [22:11] eh /dev/sda not 2... [22:13] kri_: good, grub gets installed to drive and not a partition for most installs [22:13] yes that was just a typo [22:33]  Iḿ trying to open a dwg file in my libreCad, but  it do not work, the libre just says that it is an experimental version and closes.   I´m using an linux Mint.  Can anyone help me? [22:36] !mint | RenatoPS [22:36] RenatoPS: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [22:39] ok, just want to give you props for how that bot works.
