| sigstuff | hello | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| sigstuff | does ubuntu support running adobe CC apps? | 00:16 |
| sigstuff | or do I need wine or some such>? | 00:16 |
| sarnold | sigstuff: that'll take wine or running windows in an emulator | 00:18 |
| sigstuff | sucks | 00:19 |
| sigstuff | its 2021 | 00:19 |
| sigstuff | when will linux or adobe figure this shit out to collaborate | 00:19 |
| sigstuff | sarnold: ive got CC running on windows | 00:20 |
| sigstuff | but jesus its been yrs and still..... | 00:20 |
| sarnold | they've probably got twenty million lines of code, some of it dating back 30 years, and haven't got a clue what they would need to do to even begin porting it | 00:20 |
| sigstuff | or they dont care | 00:20 |
| sigstuff | Adobe i mean | 00:20 |
| sarnold | given how their windows and mac software worked last time I touched it, I'm assuming that's the one :) | 00:20 |
| sarnold | no two widgets worked the same.. | 00:21 |
| sigstuff | i run it both on a mac and windows | 00:21 |
| sigstuff | little to no difference | 00:21 |
| sigstuff | except for the occasional GPU glitch | 00:21 |
| sigstuff | however linux is still out the game | 00:21 |
| sigstuff | its mind blowing why | 00:22 |
| sarnold | it's like they had eight or nine different 'slider' implementations | 00:22 |
| sarnold | maybe they finally got around to fixing all those | 00:22 |
| sigstuff | its identical except for the glitches relative to OS changes | 00:22 |
| sigstuff | but besides the popint really | 00:22 |
| sigstuff | i figured if anyone ubuntu would be the one to support adobe fully | 00:23 |
| * sigstuff shakes his head | 00:23 | |
| sigstuff | would be a game changer if CC was natively supported on ubuntu or any number of distros | 00:24 |
| sigstuff | moving on | 00:24 |
| sigstuff | later | 00:24 |
| haijuno | Why do people call ubuntu a beginner linux distro | 01:06 |
| haijuno | Because it actually works out of the box and I don't have to manually install 1000 things to get basic things to work? | 01:06 |
| sarnold | haijuno: pretty much | 01:16 |
| sarnold | haijuno: many distros make it easier to tweak things | 01:17 |
| oerheks | sudo | 01:19 |
| haijuno | sarnold, in what way? I'm genuinely curious | 01:20 |
| oerheks | and funny names like Impish Indri is easy to remember | 01:20 |
| sarnold | haijuno: something like systemd-resolved is pretty hard to disable on ubuntu, but on other distributions you may need to go to some work to even get a caching dns stub of some sort locally | 01:22 |
| sarnold | haijuno: popping ifupdown2 in place of systemd-networkd would probably break some things on ubuntu, but on other distros it's no big deal | 01:22 |
| haijuno | sarnold, what is that used for? | 01:23 |
| haijuno | why would you want to change it I mean | 01:23 |
| sarnold | a lot of folks really liked the simplicity of ifupdown (/etc/network/interfaces) but wanted something a bit better than piles of bash scripts that almost worked ;) | 01:23 |
| haijuno | sarnold, like to bring their wifi network up or down? | 01:24 |
| sarnold | haijuno: yeah, you can just put the ip commands you need to do things right in that file and it'll execute them when you run ifup foo or ifdown bar | 01:25 |
| sarnold | haijuno: rather than trying to figure out how systemd-networkd expresses the same idea, if it can at all; or figuring out how to say the same thing in netplan configs, etc | 01:25 |
| sarnold | or if you wanted to replace network-manager with wicd or connman or whatever.. some distros make that easy | 01:25 |
| haijuno | I guess I've never come across a use case in my coding where I would need to do those thiings | 01:26 |
| sarnold | ubuntu isn't to everyone's tastes; ubuntu tries to build on the base that debian provides, but picks eg postfix as a preferred email server and encourages people to use that, but doesn't take away the other dozen choices | 01:29 |
| oerheks | and snaps | 01:29 |
| haijuno | Oh snap | 01:30 |
| sarnold | yeah, I mean there's *gobs* of people using snaps, but I know it does things that I don't like and wish it'd do differently.. | 01:31 |
| sarnold | and there's loads more folks who say they dislike it enough to head to debian or arch instead | 01:31 |
| oerheks | taste .. lots of DE to choose from | 01:31 |
| haijuno | What can you dislike about a package manager? Just install the software directly | 01:32 |
| lub18045LTS | I'm trying to add to PCManFM 1.2.5 a command so I can right click in a directory, hit a custom command button, and have a script remove all meta tags from all MP3 files in the current folder | 01:33 |
| sarnold | I strongly dislike the fact that snaps 'autorefresh', that's been incredibly inconvenient for me, and I don't even do anything important with it | 01:33 |
| lub18045LTS | in /home/paul/.local/share/file-manager/actions I have a file called removeMETA with the following content: | 01:33 |
| lub18045LTS | [Desktop Entry] | 01:33 |

| lub18045LTS | ToolbarLabel[en]=removeMETA | 01:33 |
| lub18045LTS | ToolbarLabel[C]=removeMETA | 01:33 |
| sarnold | lub18045LTS: it's best to use a pastebin site for more than three lines | 01:33 |
| sarnold | (don't worry, drone will remove the quiet soon enough) | 01:34 |
| haijuno | The silence is deafening | 01:34 |
| lub18045LTS | https://pastebin.com/hwSdRksH | 01:35 |
| lub18045LTS | but it did not work | 01:35 |
| sarnold | lub18045LTS: you probably can't trust the thing to be started in the correct directory | 01:35 |
| sarnold | I don't know if the shell glob *.mp3 will even work in those lines, they may not be executed via a shell | 01:36 |
| lub18045LTS | is there another solution? | 01:36 |
| sarnold | lub18045LTS: this answer makes me think that a %u *might8 help (I don't know this for sure, I'm not super-familiar with .desktop files) -- https://askubuntu.com/a/451370/33812 | 01:39 |
| sarnold | lub18045LTS: try 'cd %u ; touch hello' in the Exec line, and see if a file 'hello' appears in the right directory or not | 01:39 |
| lub18045LTS | do you want me to follow the instructions on that page to start the process from scratch? | 01:43 |
| lub18045LTS | it did not work | 01:46 |
| sarnold | lub18045LTS: ah, sorry, no, just wanted to point out the %u and hope that means 'this directory from the gui' | 01:49 |

| lub18045LTS | Exec=eyeD3 --remove-all /home/01_01.mp3 works, but I need to learn how to reference not a specific file in a specific directory, but all mp3 files in the directory in which i right clicked | 02:23 |
| barg | hi, i'm having some difficulty starting samba.. nmap shows it as filtered though i added it to ufw | 02:28 |
| sarnold | barg: are you running nmap elsewhere on the LAN or is it traversing an ISP? | 02:31 |
| barg | sarnold: the server is hosted at digitalocean so it's going over the internet | 02:34 |
| sarnold | lub18045LTS: argh the freedesktop folks bug me so much.. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html .. *six* "Deprecated" entries with no description | 02:34 |
| barg | SSH shows as open. SAMBA as filtered | 02:34 |
| sarnold | barg: it's common for ISPs to block SMB ports because that was popular for abuse before they all started blocking it | 02:35 |
| barg | whose ISP the one at the client end or the one at the server end? | 02:37 |
| lub18045LTS | sarnold yeah not sure why they keep changing things for the worse | 02:37 |
| sarnold | barg: maybe both :) | 02:37 |
| barg | so what's a good way for me to transfer files to my ubuntu server? | 02:38 |
| lub18045LTS | sarnold: would it be easier to code it to work on SELECTED files instead of FILES IN CURRENT DIR? | 02:39 |
| sarnold | scp, sftp, rsync are all popular | 02:39 |
| sarnold | lub18045LTS: yeah, that feels like it'd be a good idea to me; select the ones you want to clean, do the clicky, and just those have been changed | 02:40 |
| barg | thanks | 02:40 |
| lub18045LTS | lub18045LTS: yeah but what should the Exec= be then? | 02:40 |
| lub18045LTS | sarnold: yeah but what should the Exec= be then? | 02:41 |

| Arc1 | set up a data partition for my multiboot sytem but can't easily use it; if click in Thunar, gets mounted but without permissions for use | 02:52 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: What is the mountpoint - and what are the permissions of siad mount point ? | 02:54 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: I tried it 2 ways: 1. with fstab where it was mounted on /vol/data and 2. without fstab where it is mounted once clicked in Thunar. Permissions are an issue in both cases. If that could be resolved I think mounting by Thunar would be more convinient than by fstab. | 02:56 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: Does ' ls -al /mnt/ show the data directory ? | 02:58 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: Opps - as the target is /vol/data ... does ' ls -al /vol/ show the data partition ? | 03:01 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: the partition is now remed out of fstab | 03:06 |
| Arc1 | I can see that it does get mounted by Thunar when I click on it because it is no longer greyed out | 03:06 |
| Arc1 | to check what you are asking I would have to bring it back into fstab and reboot | 03:07 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: For now - fstab is a future event - need to know if /vol/data exists before proceeding :D | 03:08 |
| Arc1 | I created those directories so I can see them in the file system | 03:08 |
| Arc1 | ... in Thunar | 03:09 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: For now I also do not care about thunar - we work from cli to get to the bottom of what you desire. | 03:10 |
| slyrus | just installed the hippo and my kernel entries disappeared from my grub menu -- leaving only windows boot manager and uefi settings. any suggestions? | 03:11 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: How about we go back to square one - do you want the /data/partition to be mointed from both the CLI and GUI (thunar) - we make the appropriate mount point. | 03:19 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: sorry for the wait, had to reboot into the partition where I made these changes | 03:20 |

| Arc1 | Bashing-om: did that help? | 03:26 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: No - no help to help you - Let's go to square one - do you want the data partition seen both in CLI and GUI ? | 03:27 |
| Arc1 | yes | 03:28 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: In that event for both -m ya eant the mount point in the /nedia/ directory. OK, what is the username on this system ? | 03:30 |
| Bashing-om | *both ya want the .... | 03:30 |
| Arc1 | frosty | 03:31 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: "frosty" .. OK run terminal command ' sudo mkdir /media/frosty/data ' | 03:32 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: done | 03:35 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: ' sudo chown frosty:frosty /mdia/frosty/data ' | 03:36 |
| Bashing-om | *media/frosty/data | 03:37 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: done | 03:38 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: now I presume, put "media/frosty/data" as the mount point in fstab? | 03:42 |
| timothyp | Hi I am wondering as an NVIDIA user is it safe to upgrade to 21.04 and will it still have 3D acceleration? | 03:42 |
| Bashing-om | next is to make up the fstab entry - need to identify the UUID of the mount point . | 03:43 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: I get that, I also understand you are using the permissions command; is there an advantage to creating this mount point in /media rather than in /vol or anywhere else? | 03:44 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: in media then thunar sees it automagically ( GVFS) . | 03:45 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: ok, give me a few minutes to do this | 03:46 |
| slyrus | Ok, so I've booted into the hippo on a usb stick. What can I do to go about trying to recover/rebuild my grub entries on my installed but not-working version of 21.04? | 03:53 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: fstab re-edited, rebooted, see that data is mounted in Thunar but still don't have permissions | 03:57 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: what return from terminal command ' who ' ? | 04:00 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: "frosty tty7 ..." | 04:02 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: Good - and ' sudo mount -a ' returns with no errors ? | 04:03 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: returns with no errors or anything at all | 04:04 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: Getting the better of me :( .. ' ls -al /mnedia/frosty/data ' says what ? | 04:06 |
| Bashing-om | *media/frosty/data | 04:07 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bcgqdGqns5/ | 04:15 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: looking | 04:16 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: could there be some issue with the syntax of the chown command earlier? | 04:18 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: I did make a typo that was corrected in the following line there :( . did you catch the correction ? what shows now for ls -ld /media/frosty/data ' ? | 04:23 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: I did catch that typo earlier | 04:24 |
| Arc1 | to be sure, you want "-ld" now, not "-al"? | 04:25 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: Yup ' ls -ld /media/frosty/data ' - does it show as "frosty frosty" ? | 04:26 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: no, it say "root root" like on line 8 of the previous paste | 04:34 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: Humm ... makes little sense - try again ' sudo chown frosty:frosty /media/frosty/data ' this *does* make "frosty" the owner. | 04:40 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: success! | 04:47 |
| Bashing-om | !yay | Arc1 | 04:48 |
| ubottu | Arc1: Glad you made it! :-) | 04:48 |
| Arc1 | got frosty frosty now and everything is accessible! don't why it didn't work bfr... | 04:48 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: thank you for your patience and persistence :)! | 04:49 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: Progress made :D | 04:49 |
| Arc1 | Bashing-om: for sure! I'll have to read up on chown... So once again, what makes /media a special place for mounting such things? would this partition not appear in a similar way if it way mounted elsewhere? | 04:51 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: It would not appear in thunar - unless you told fstab to also mount in the GUI . | 04:51 |
| Arc1 | ok | 04:52 |
| juliandroske | it would, but you need to run it as normal user(non-root) | 04:52 |
| Arc1 | well, I am glad it started to work before I became a PhD in Unix :) | 04:54 |
| Bashing-om | Arc1: That ^ takes 10 years :P | 04:54 |

| basenode | is there a recent bluetooth bug in ubuntu? my headphones have started randomly disconnecting and reconnecting a few days ago | 14:59 |
| sneakyimp | soooo RAID 0 question. If one of your drives is threatening to fail, but still mostly working, can you pull that drive, put it in an enclosure, and use dd to clone it to another drive and then stick that new drive in your raid array? | 15:32 |
| ducasse | metbsd: if you installed gnome 40 from a ppa, that is not supported here. try removing it with ppa-purge | 15:36 |
| leftyfb | sneakyimp: no | 15:37 |
| leftyfb | sneakyimp: RAID 0 = you don't care about the data on the drives | 15:37 |
| metbsd | ok | 15:39 |
| sneakyimp | leftyfb: i'm aware of the striping behavior (single files span multiple drives) but would point out that my drive is not yet dead, and might yet give up the data that exists on it | 15:42 |
| ravage | if you can copy the drive that will work of course | 15:42 |
| sneakyimp | ravage: assuming i can read the vast majority of data off the drive, with maybe some bad sectors, that means I can use dd to clone the data, but does the new drive have to be the *exact same size? Does it have to have the exact same formatting? It's unclear to me if the cylinder count needs to be the same, if the block size has to match, etc? | 15:44 |
| ravage | i guess that depends on the kind of raid you use. in general a copy with dd on a drive that has the same or bigger size should work | 15:49 |
| ravage | if you have bad sectors ddrescue is the better choice | 15:50 |
| basenode | have there been any bugs relating to bluetooth recently? my BT headphones keep disconnecting and reconnecting every 10 minutes or so, starting to get annoying | 15:54 |
| ravage | repeating questions is also very annoying | 15:57 |
| basenode | ravage: repeating? i only asked it one time previously, to which nobody answered, and tried a second time but my internet disconnected while or just after doing it, so i didn't see any responses (assuming there were any) | 16:00 |
| sneakyimp | ravage: yeah i guess it would have to depend on the implementation of the raid. i had run across mentions of ddrescue in my search for info -- can you suggest any links for good how-to or information? | 16:00 |
| sneakyimp | basenode: you can search for 'bluetooth' here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu | 16:00 |
| ravage | connect both drives. use ddrescue (works just like dd) and try to clone the drive | 16:01 |
| ravage | there really isn't much more to it | 16:02 |
| basenode | sneakyimp: thanks | 16:02 |
| sneakyimp | ravage: i've seen tons of warnings about dd having big problems if either drive is in use. how can i make sure these drives are not being accessed for other reasons? | 16:03 |
| ravage | turn off the computer. boot from a rescue usb drive that has ddrescue. clone the data | 16:04 |
| ravage | https://www.system-rescue.org/Download/ for example | 16:06 |

| tomreyn | a mail server can route system mail to a tcp endpoint, including over the internet. | 17:36 |

| Xliff | Hello! I am trying to get Steam to function again. It stopped working after a reboot and I have traced the problem to a lack of the mesa-utils:i386 package | 17:47 |
| Xliff | So I am trying to recompile from source. | 17:47 |
| Xliff | I am stuck at recompiling libglew for 32 bit. | 17:47 |
| Xliff | Here is a pastebin with the issue: https://pastebin.com/K15ZAs1L | 17:47 |
| tomreyn | wouldn't the easiest approach be to just reinstall it? | 17:50 |
| cranberry | tomreyn: Could point me in the right direction? | 17:50 |
| tomreyn | cranberry: 👈 | 17:51 |
| tomreyn | cranberry: where are you trying to go? | 17:51 |
| cranberry | To a document that describes your suggestion. The mailservers I know, postfix and exim, can send email only to an email address. | 17:52 |
| tomreyn | cranberry: they send e-mail over smtp, a tcp protocol | 17:54 |
| cranberry | I am talking about a generic tcp endpoint | 17:54 |
| cranberry | One which I am able to use via i.e. netcat: echo "hi" | nc 1.2.3.4 1234 | 17:55 |
| cranberry | smtp I have only known to be working with email addresses, i.e. example@example.com | 17:55 |
| tomreyn | you can probably implement smtp with netcat to a degree, but why would you? | 17:55 |
| Xliff | Solved problem by using correct CC which is CC=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc, however I am now getting a related error with objcopy. | 17:55 |
| Xliff | Not so easily solved by an environment variable (I'm using OBJCOPY, which might not be correct) | 17:56 |
| cranberry | I don't want to, I want to route system mail, that is sent through smtp, to a generic tcp endpoint (netcat), in addition to having it delivered to the system users inbox | 17:56 |
| cranberry | a forward or grabbing thing. possibly also just a script that checks a unix users mailbox and is like! oh! there's mail let's parse it into echo $MESSAGE | nc 1.2.3.4 1234 && exit | 17:56 |
| tomreyn | cranberry: let's move to #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss, since this is beyond support. | 17:57 |
| cranberry | Sure | 17:57 |

| irgendwer4711 | hi, how to check, which gtk2-programs wouldn't run after update to 21.04? | 18:21 |
| tomreyn | run them from a terminal, see which of them succeed to draw things on screen? | 18:26 |
| irgendwer4711 | I would like to check before upgrade | 18:27 |
| tomreyn | try them on a live installer/system then | 18:28 |
| hofer | 21.04 is only supported for nine months | 18:28 |
| tomreyn | ubuntu is a linux distribution | 18:28 |
| irgendwer4711 | rea,,y? | 18:29 |
| irgendwer4711 | I think, it would be better to check this packet manager | 18:30 |
| tomreyn | there's https://packages.ubuntu.com - which is community maintained and works sometimes. and there is the "rmadison" command in the "devscripts" package, which can report which versions of a given package are available in given ubuntu (and debian) releases | 18:32 |
| tomreyn | it provides similar functionality as 'dak ls' | 18:32 |
| irgendwer4711 | sounds good | 18:33 |
| tomreyn | you can also query this online here https://qa.debian.org/madison.php?table=ubuntu | 18:33 |
| irgendwer4711 | some automatic script were good | 18:34 |
| tomreyn | here, too https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/madison.cgi | 18:35 |
| irgendwer4711 | I mean, to check all my pakages | 18:35 |
| tomreyn | irgendwer4711: i assume you will need to develop this on your own. you can query installed packages using dpkg-query and change the output format using --format | 18:43 |
| tomreyn | please don't overload the web service, though, better run this locally only. | 18:43 |
| irgendwer4711 | local? my system does not have information about 21.04... | 18:44 |
| alexeightsix | when i type: sudo do-release-upgrade | 19:03 |
| alexeightsix | i get Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading. | 19:03 |
| alexeightsix | how can i fix this? | 19:03 |
| alexeightsix | i did apt-get update, uprade etc | 19:03 |
| Xliff | I'm getting an error using Debhelper: Can't exec "i686-linux-gnu-objdump": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Dh_Lib.pm line 557. | 19:03 |
| Xliff | How can I force the autodetection of this comman to use x86_64-linux-gnu instead of i686-linux-gnu? | 19:04 |
| Xliff | Can someone please help. This may be helpful in solving a weird Steam issue for users. Thanks. | 19:04 |
| Xliff | For the record: Steam is no longer working for me due to a missing mesa-utils:i386. It is no longer available in Groovy. | 19:05 |
| Xliff | I had Steam working this week and an upgrade (don't know what upgrade) is now causing the failute. | 19:05 |
| Xliff | *failure | 19:05 |
| Xliff | Failure illustrated here: https://pastebin.com/chsKZN8i | 19:06 |
| Xliff | This seems to match with the error running `glxgears': https://pastebin.com/PbPExPHB | 19:07 |

| ax562 | Hi all. I'm trying to get dual monitors working in ubuntu. I'm using nvidia drivers 450. I have a 4k and a 1080p monitor. My 4k is only being picked up as 1080p and my 1080p which is connected to analog out is not being picked up by OS. Any ideas or links to point me to? | 20:06 |
| ax562 | ubuntu 20.04lts | 20:09 |
| rjwiii | ax562: What type of connections are you using? DP? DPMI? HDMI? | 20:40 |
| ax562 | hdmi and angalog | 20:40 |
| ax562 | xrandr only outputs 1920x1080 as available resolution | 20:41 |
| rjwiii | Are both monitors the same make/model? | 20:41 |
| ax562 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nxjgYS2wq7/ | 20:43 |
| rjwiii | and by analog, do you mean an old fashoned RGP 24 pin? | 20:43 |
| ax562 | no. 1 is vizio 4k capable and the other is samsung 1080p | 20:43 |
| ax562 | yes | 20:43 |
| rjwiii | Does either monitor have a DPMI connection? | 20:44 |
| rjwiii | and how many DP ports does your video card have? | 20:45 |
| ax562 | i tried to change xorg.conf by adding https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SVWSbzw96v/ | 20:46 |
| ax562 | 2 digital port2 and 1 analog | 20:46 |
| ax562 | but the xorg.conf additions did not work | 20:47 |
| evdubs | what's the filename for the desktop settings application? | 20:50 |

| [VMGuy23] | I recently failed to install amdgpu-pro/amdgpu on Ubuntu 20.10 (it was made for 20.04) and now I'm stuck with llvm. How do I get back to AMD Raven2 (it said that in about in settings) | 21:02 |
| evdubs | talking to anyone that knows the answer | 21:02 |
| tomreyn | evdubs: gnome-control-center | 21:16 |
| sneakyimp | can anyone suggest a cheap pci-express sound card compatible with ubuntu? I don't care about 32-bit sound or dolby 5.1 or anything like that. Just simple stereo sound. | 21:28 |
| cbreak | I use an USB soundcard (FiiO somethingsomething), works fine on Mac OS and Linux, when using an usb switch box thingie | 21:32 |
| cbreak | why do you want to sacrifice a pci slot for it? | 21:32 |
| shadow255 | gotta find a use for the 1x slot, am I right? | 21:33 |
| cbreak | sneakyimp: crappy old nvme ssd maybe... or an other set of usb ports, that are maybe on an other IOMMU slot so you can forward usb devices into a VM / LXD container? :D | 21:38 |
| cbreak | sorry, shadow255 ... | 21:38 |
| tomreyn | sneakyimp: unless you are looking for a specific chipset and drivers for it, please move over to ##hardware (or maybe ##linux) to discuss hardware. it's generally difficult to recommend specific products because, while marketing names may remain the same, the hardware can change, and it usually takes a reverse engineering effort to understand which chipsets are sold under which brand and model names. | 21:44 |
| Kraus | How can I completely remove my Nvidia's GP104 High Definition Audio Controller from being enabled? (Not just the pavucontrol profile, but like.. shut it off entirely at bootup) | 21:49 |
| Kraus | card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] , etc | 21:50 |
| Kraus | Totally shut off the audio device drivers. Don't need it. Just need the graphics. | 21:50 |
| tomreyn | Kraus: one way is to blacklist the driver module, if you don't need the same driver for another audio chipset | 21:59 |
| Kraus | tomreyn: Are you looking at the same blog post as I am? :) | 21:59 |
| tomreyn | Kraus: if you grant me remote acccess to your computer i might be able to tell. | 22:00 |
| Kraus | And yeah, I don't need that thing. I'm strictly using the displayport, and I have a USB audio interface. The nvidia driver is adding a crap-ton of cards in my pulse stuff, and I just wanna get rid of the damn thing | 22:01 |
| Kraus | tomreyn: Harrrharharhar ;) | 22:01 |
| tomreyn | so lspci -knnv should tell you which module is loaded for it, and you can blacklist that in /etc/modprobe.d/local-blacklist.conf or elsewhere in this directory (this filename is just a suggestion). | 22:04 |
| Kraus | Bam, there it is. 31:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller [10de:10f0] (rev a1) | 22:05 |
| Kraus | Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel | 22:05 |
| Kraus | Alright, let's try this out. | 22:06 |
| tomreyn | echo 'blacklist snd_hda_intel' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/local-blacklist.conf >/dev/null | 22:06 |
| Kraus | Oh, I just sudo nano'ed instead | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | that'd work, too | 22:07 |
| Kraus | Okay, brb. | 22:07 |
| * Kraus crosses his fingers. | 22:07 | |
| Kraus | Woot! Worked. Thank you once again good people of Ubuntuland. | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | yw. remember those steps in case you'll have another audio device which has an intel chipset | 22:10 |

| waltman | The release notes for 21.04 say "Wayland is now the default on most configurations, which features better security and performance". I installed 21.04 today and I seem to still be running x11. Is it only the default for new installs? | 23:41 |
| Bashing-om | waltman: Nvidia graphics defaults to X11 :( | 23:48 |
| sneakyimp | if one buys a NAS or DAS storage device that has two USB ports, does that mean you get double the data rate to your application from the storage device? | 23:50 |
