bumblefuzzyeah, but if I'm being safe00:01
bumblefuzzhow do I choose?00:01

_Sym_Hi, I'm having an issue with the latest version of openjdk-8 (bionic).  When upgrading from 8u282-b08-0ubuntu1~18.04 to 8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~18.04, Android no longer builds. The issue is that Jack breaks with an communication error.00:03
_Sym_i had to downgrade back to 28200:03
_Sym_I guess I should file a bug00:04
leftyfb_Sym_: android? which package?00:04
_Sym_openjdk-8-jdk_8u282-b08-0ubuntu1~18.04_amd64.deb openjdk-8-jdk-headless_8u282-b08-0ubuntu1~18.04_amd64.deb openjdk-8-jre_8u282-b08-0ubuntu1~18.04_amd64.deb openjdk-8-jre_8u282-b08-0ubuntu1~18.04_amd64.deb00:05
leftyfb_Sym_: what does that have to do with android?00:05
leftyfb_Sym_: you've mentioned Android, Jack and openjdk00:06
_Sym_when building an android rom, android uses "jack" which is a java based compiler00:06
_Sym_and the latest openjdk breaks jack in the android build environment00:07
_Sym_openjdk 800:07
RandomGu1OnIrcI need to install nvm, so that I can run the anchor wallet. What is the best way to install nvm?00:07
leftyfb_Sym_: the latest openjdk-8-jdk in Ubuntu 18.04 is 8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~18.0400:07
_Sym_right00:08
_Sym_thats the broken one00:08
_Sym_i had to go back one00:08
leftyfb_Sym_: ok, file a bug00:08
RandomGu1OnIrcI found these instructions, but it sounds like I need give root access to a script downloaded from raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.25.0/install.sh00:08
RandomGu1OnIrcthese instructinos being: https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-nvm-node-version-manager-for-node-js-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/00:08
_Sym_ok00:08
leftyfbRandomGu1OnIrc: you'll have to see support from the nvm project00:09
RandomGu1OnIrcok thanks00:10
leftyfb_Sym_: you might be able to get more help in #android or the like00:10
_Sym_yeah ill let them know too00:10
sarnold_Sym_: file that bug before you get too much further :)00:11
_Sym_the communication error between jack and openjdk seems to be related to encryption00:11
_Sym_it says, "SSL error when connecting to the Jack server. Try 'jack-diagnose'"00:13
_Sym_something with ssl changed in openjdk00:14
leftyfb_Sym_: I'm pretty sure they disabled an outdated and insecure cipher recently00:17
_Sym_thats it then00:17
_Sym_ill prolly have to rebuild the package and reenable the cipher00:18
leftyfb_Sym_: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-820965800:18
_Sym_thanks00:19

toffeHi guys, anyone know if ulimit's open files is set to soft: 1024 and hard 4096 and systemd's file has configured "LimitNOFILE" to 10240 which one "wins" ?08:08
toffeWhat is the actual possible open files for that process?08:08
Walextoffe: 'ulimit' is not a system setting.08:11
Walextoffe: have you a clear impression of the effects of 'fork(2)'?08:12
Walexagvantibo: try asking in ##IBMThinkPad it is a fairly active channel08:16
WalexDarkTrick: in theory bug reports always go to Ubuntu, then it is Ubuntu's maintainers who desal with "upstream".08:17
DarkTrickWalex, thank you, Ubuntu it is :)08:23
toffe@Walex: No, I am just investigating a problem where my software may have more open files than it is allowed. But it seems like ulimit -Sn (soft open files) is 1024 and hard is 4096. But when I cat /proc/pid/limits it says 4096 on open files. So I'm not sure if "ulimit" with 1024 is the king and blocks it as it opens up to 1021 files during the startup sequence08:25
toffenumber of open files is found using lsof -u <user> | wc -l08:26
toffeI see this rise to about 1021 then it sinks down to 800. So not sure if it is not going above 1021 because it does not neeed or because the limit is set to 102408:27
mgedminyou could maybe strace it and see if it's getting any ENFILE/EMFILE errors08:28

eugenio_hi all, today I updated ubuntu to 21.04 version, but unfortunately now my x11vnc server doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions?09:46
eugenio_I know it depends on the new wayland. Is there a vnc server I can use? I tested the default vino, but I got an error while I was connecting09:46

mgedmineugenio_: gnome-remote-desktop is the only thing that works as a vnc server in wayland10:02
mgedminvino is the old gnome thing, x11 only, unmaintained, deprecated10:02
mgedminI think you go to gnome-control-center, Sharing, and toggle desktop sharing, and you get a vnc server10:02
mgedminhaven't actually tried it yet in 21.0410:02
Walextoffe: "investigating a problem where my software may have more open files than it is allowed" You can't sensibly address that problem if you dobn't have a clear idea of 'fork' and the resulting 'inheritance'.10:03
toffe@Walex: Well, the problem is that we connect to other devices 800+ devices and I'm not sure how many files it uses (each tcp connection is a FD). We cannot optimize this software wise, we must increase FD. But I would like to understand if ulimit "wins" over systemd's limit. cat /proc/2938/limits says 4095 do that mean it is 4096 or can that be capped by something else again? If it means that it is 4096 the10:08
toffeproblem is not open files but bad software optimization :D10:08
Walextoffe: same as 'aptitude'10:09
Walextoffe: b ut you still have not told me whether you have a clear idea of how 'fork' and 'inheritance' relate to that, because you talk about 'ulimit' which is a shell command.10:10
mgedmintoffe: /proc/$pid/limits shows both the soft and the hard limit; which one is 4095?10:15
mgedminthe soft limit is the important one10:15
mgedminthe app needs to call setrlimit() to raise it if it wants to use more fd's10:15
mgedminthe hard limit applies to setrlimit() system calls so apps don't raise their soft limits to infinity10:16
toffemgedmin:  both is 4096, so if that shows 4096 it means that it is 100% 4096?10:16
toffethere is nothing that can override that? I have no clear idea about fork and inheritance10:16
mgedminI'd say yes; my bash shows 1024 as the soft limit and 1048576 as the hard limit on ubuntu 21.0410:16
Walexmgedmin: 'ulimit' and 'limits' are different things, even if related.10:17
toffeThen this was not the problem, just a fluke that it worked after i changed the limit of ulimit -a to show 10240 on both soft and hard10:17
Walextoffe: as to "fork" and "inheritance" including limits brief xplanation follows10:17
omega_doomConnection to hotspot with ubuntu still fails after couple seconds. https://termbin.com/r91s10:18
mgedminthere's also a system-wide fd limit: sysctl fs.nr_open shows 1048576 on my ubuntu 21.04 desktop10:18
Walextoffe: if you are not clear about "fork" and "inheritance" you cannot understand the situation10:18
Walextoffe: in UNIX processes have attributes, like file descriptors, the environment and limits. When a process forks to create another process, the attributes are cloned. Then the process may modify them.10:19
toffeThe thing is that we had a problem where it could not connect to all 800 devices. Only around 600. I did add to /etc/security/limits.d/apet.conf *    soft    nofile 10240 (and one line for harD). Then i rebooted the software and it workd. But cat /proc/1234/limits showd 4096 both pre this change and after. The problem is after the change it actually worked. But it might just have been a fluke that another10:20
toffereboot was needed10:20
Walextoffe: therefore the limits of a process are those cloned from its parent process, potentially modified by the process itself10:20
Walextoffe: what you are saying seems to me rather meaningless.10:20
tmusSo today is the day that I'll be installing my brand new laptop. Is btrfs or zfs worth it performance wise? I really don't need the snapshots but transparent compression and bitrot protection would be nice!10:21
Walextoffe: '/etc/security/limits.d' applies to login processes that use 'pam_limits', and your process may not be a login process or a shall spawned one.10:22
mgedmintoffe: raising resource limits is fun!  IIRC in older ubuntu releases systemd had a hardcoded 4096 resource limit for fds that got raised to 1048576 in more recent versions10:22
Walextoffe: 'ulimit' applies only to processed whose parent is a shell, and '/etc/security' to those whose ancestor is 'login'. neither for example applies to most processes whose ancestor is CRON or 'systemd'.10:23
Walextoffe: that is all you need to know to figure your issue out.10:24
toffeYeah, I've figured out that limits is not the issue10:25
toffe:D10:25
toffeThanks a lot for the detailed information10:25
mgedminfinally found which systemd man page documents LimitNOFILE -- it's systemd.exec(5)10:27
toffeI see that I also joined the wrong channel. The OS we use on the server for now is CentOS, we're moving it to ubuntu soon. CentOS still has crappy limits. On ubuntu there is waay higher limits by default. :D But still systemd had set it to 4096 and we never crossed over 1024 so tht is not the issue. Thanks again, I'll copy that information out and keep it here10:27
toffemgedmin: yes LimitNOFILE we have increased now to 10240 just to be sure. The default of 4096 should be enought but.. you can never be too sure10:27
omega_doomjeremy31: Any idea why devices can disconnect from hotspot if power management is off? Maybe some diagnostic?10:28
jeremy31omega_doom: you could watch terminal and see if there are any hints from>  tail -f /var/log/syslog10:28
mgedminor journalctl -f10:31
omega_doomjeremy31: Thanks. There is "wlp0s20f3: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-95 retry=1"10:31
omega_doomjeremy31: Does it have any usefull information? https://termbin.com/fgqc10:39
mgedminAP-STA-DISCONNECTED means it disconnected from the AP, doesn't say why10:52
mgedminrandom observation: my Google Pixel would continuously disconnect and reconnect to an Ubiquiti AP in my office, if bluetooth is turned off on the phone10:53
mgedminturning on bluetooth fixed it10:53

Maikthe topic says  unofficial derivates are not supported here11:50
mgedminMadLamb: are you using a virtualenv?  usually when you upgrade the system python all virtualenvs break and you start getting incomprehensible import errors from builtin modules11:50
mgedminMadLamb: the fix is to re-create the virtualenv, or at least replace venv/bin/python* with a copy of the right intepreter from /usr/bin/11:51

Intelo Is there something called persistent ram? that does not deletes data on shutdowns? If so, isn't that better? I don't have to care about hibernation then?  Does ubuntu supports it?13:35
NIKKE1Hello, my system is running close to full ram. Is virtual memory found from htop reserving ram?13:36
NIKKE1not entirerly sure about the difference on how VIRT and RES works13:36
leftyfbIntelo: yup, it's called a hard drive13:36
ograNIKKE1, physical ram occupation is usually related to RES13:37
hggdhIntelo: there are such main memory types, but they are more expensive and not commonly used. Also there are serious security implications on persistent memory -- for example cold-boot attacks get much more easier13:38
NIKKE1ogra my uni server has 252 gigs of ram, but 136gigs are reserverd and i dont get how. Highest program using RES is 149M ... it would probably all add up to max 6gigs. If only RES counted13:41
leftyfbNIKKE1: reserved != used13:42
NIKKE1leftyfb thats what im asking here13:42
NIKKE1im just looking at htop13:42
NIKKE1136G/252G13:43

NIKKE1Could dockers reserve memory out of visibility of htop ?13:45
MadLambmgedmin, i have no idea13:46
MadLambmgedmin, i dont use python13:46
ograNIKKE1, first of all go to the htop settings and disable user threads ... that will make it a lot more readable ... then sort by RES, not by MEM%13:47

CarlosM12Hello, I've been experiencing system freezes that require me to hard-reboot my computer. They tend to happen 10-30 minutes into the usage of full screen graphics (Games, Video chats, CLion). I've looked through my logs and it seems that my AMD APU (Ryzen 5 3400G) isn't enjoying the memory provided to it; alas I haven't found a solution to the14:19

MaikCarlosM12: Ubuntu 21.04 with Wayland?14:21
CarlosM12@Maik Yes.14:22
Maiktry switching to Xorg at the login screen and see what happens, if you haven't tried it already14:22
MadLambI'm having a hard time to fix a broken python installation. It gives me the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings' whenever I try to do anything with python (including reinstalling it)14:23

barnexIs there any way to get systemd-time-wait-sync.service on 18.04?14:42
CarlosM12Maik, Xorg ended up crashing quicker than Wayland.14:43
barnexIf not, what is the easiest way to delay service start till time is actually synchronized? After systemd-timesyncd.service starts my service without synchronized time14:43
leftyfbbarnex: it's part of the core20 snap. That said, it's just a systemd unit. Just create one and enable it14:45

MadLambCarlosM12, no14:58
MadLambCarlosM12, should I?14:58
CarlosM12MadLamb, I recommend you try it out; you will need GCC and make since you'll be compiling from source.14:59
MadLambCarlosM12, lol14:59
MadLambCarlosM12, doesnt sound very resonable that I have to compile from source to fix an issue with a package that is available on the repo, but Ill try15:03
MadLambI dont get why it fails if I am running install --reinstall15:03
CarlosM12MadLamb, Good point. Have you tried installing python3.9?15:06
leftyfbMadLamb: how did you break python exactly?15:06
MadLambleftyfb, i have no idea15:07
leftyfbCarlosM12: please stop recommending compiling python15:07
leftyfbMadLamb: what version of ubuntu?15:07
MadLambCarlosM12, I just tried compiling python. failed on the make install15:07
MadLambleftyfb, 20.04.215:07
leftyfbMadLamb: don't do that15:07
MadLambleftyfb, too late15:07
leftyfbMadLamb: not too late, it failed on make, do not proceed15:07

leftyfbMadLamb: see if you can create a new user and login as that user15:14
MadLambleftyfb, I could, tried to open terminal and nothing happened15:19
leftyfbMadLamb: it will probably be quicker to just reinstall and restore from backup since you have no idea what you did to python to break it.15:23
MadLambleftyfb, I could open nautilus and firefox15:24
MadLambleftyfb, I was trying to install openrazer and it was failing because of some gpg signatures15:24
MadLambleftyfb, then i tried to compile it15:24
MadLambleftyfb, then It failed on python15:25
MadLambleftyfb, and then I tried apt install --reinstall15:25
leftyfbMadLamb: sounds like bad things have happened and it's going to potentially take hours to find out what is broke and determine if it's fixable. Quicker to just reinstall.15:29
MadLambleftyfb, I dont think this is an option for me :(15:30
leftyfbMadLamb: and why is that?15:30
MadLambleftyfb, idk15:31
leftyfbMadLamb: why can't you reinstall?15:31
MadLambleftyfb, install --reinstall should work15:33
leftyfbMadLamb: not when it's trying to use a broken python15:36
MadLambleftyfb, yeah but i dont even use python. I dont like python. Its whatrever stuff I was installing that uses it15:40
leftyfbMadLamb: most of ubuntu uses python15:40
toffohi there! just updated an amd64-based desktop to 21.04 and everything worked pretty okay apart from a few warnings and errors; however the update seems to have broken by gstreamer plugins15:42
toffoparticularly these plugins: GstRtpSrc, GstRtpSink and GstNvH264Dec15:43
tmciverHello. I was here yesterday asking about how my system might have installed an Azure kernel. Of two nearly identical servers one had its kernel upgraded to the Azure one while the other did not. Doing `apt-cache madison linux-image-azure` on the machine that has the Azure kernel says that it came from us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu. This was a surprise because I thought the source of the Azure kernel was15:46
tmciver/etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft.list, which the other server does not have. So once again I'm wondering how one server would get the Azure kernel while the other did not.15:46

PeanutHi there! I've just done a fresh (network) install of 21.04, but the two Ethernet interfaces keep fighting for who is eth0/eth1/eno0/eno1. How can I get back to the stable names like enp3s0f1 and the like?15:47
toffoI wonder what _should_ be the default installation location for ubuntu desktop's gst-plugins? I've had some problems before where I've had to set the 'GST_PLUGIN_PATH' environment variable by hand15:47
toffoPeanut: are you aiming to get them to work in bridged mode?15:49
Peanuttoffo: no, I'm just aiming to stop them from changing on every boot.15:49
toffoPeanut: ok, well, I suspect you might to have to set them up manually15:53
Peanuttoffo: Seems that way, if the installer can't do it right.. but how? The 'biosdevname' package no longer exists, and systemd should be giving us predictable networking interface names.15:54
toffoPeanut: ah, the usual "fix one, break two"-scenario :D15:56
toffoI wonder if someone can answer what's the default gstreamer plugin location in Ubuntu desktop 21.0415:57
toffoI have libgstr*.so 's under /snap/kde-frameworks-5-qt-5-14 & 15 ... , /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0  ; etc .15:57
toffoyessiree, alright! solved the problem with ; export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/snap/kde-frameworks-5-qt-5-15-core20/14/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.016:00
toffowell, except that now I'm missing plugins :D16:00

toffofrom one issue to another, 21.04, after update VLC fails with LAN RTSP streams. "Failed to setup RTSP session" ; nmap says port is open, VLC or other programs utilizing VLC will not open the RTSP stream :(16:29
toffoI've already googled up that it might have something to do with whether or not the version of VLC Player that ships with the OS has the H264 RTSP stream bells and whistles in it, probably due to it being under copyright-this that16:30
toffogood thing I started to troubleshoot, noticed that the update from 20.10 => 21.04 had reset all my firewall rules16:30
toffonmap does say that the rtsp port on the dest is reachable16:32
G_HI'm getting a bug in Linux Mint, where I found an "expired" bugreport from 2016 for in the ubuntu-bugtracker, should I make a new report for it in the Mint-Bugtracker or responde to the Ubuntu one that it should be still open?16:50
leftyfb!mint | G_H16:50
ubottuG_H: 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)16:50
G_Hisn't "Ubuntu bugtracker" ubuntu related?16:51
leftyfbG_H: what version of ubuntu are you running?16:51
leftyfbG_H: Your issue is with Linux Mint which is not Ubuntu. Feel free to file bugs with linux mint, not ubuntu since you are not running Ubuntu.16:52
lotuspsychjeis it a kernel bug G_H16:53
G_HWell I assume as it is "expired" that it is probably not fixed on ubuntu aswell, but I doubt that mint uses different printing drivers than ubuntu.16:54
G_Hlotuspsychje: not sure, probably not, it is about a printing driver filling up /var/tmp (multible GB) and not cleaning it up afterwards.16:55
leftyfbG_H: feel free to install Ubuntu and triage the same bug on ubuntu. If you find the same issue on ubuntu, please file a new bug16:55

Peanutoxek: Yes, just used it today. You can find it under 'alternate downloads'.19:17
oxekthanks. the ubuntu.com webpage is horrible19:17
Peanutoxek: Wait till you try the installer ;-)19:18
oxeklooks like there's no netboot iso anymore for 20.0419:19
oxekhttps://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/netbooting-the-live-server-installer/14510/619:20
Maikoxek: you mean the mini iso?19:20
oxekI don't need the mini.iso, I just need the regular netinstall iso19:20
oxekthe one that was ~700MB19:20
[VMGuy23]Quick question: I have 20.10, can I upgrade using the disk image or do I need to do it in Ubuntu?19:20
[VMGuy23]to 21.0419:20
Peanutoxek: That's exactly the issue I've been dealing with. The mini.iso and netboot.tar.gz have been dropped by Ubuntu in favour of their own installer, alas. So now you have to serve a 1GB iso over http if you want to netinstall.19:20
oxekPeanut: yeah I don't want to do that19:21
oxekthe mini.iso would work too19:21
[VMGuy23]I need the answer quite quickly, have limited time19:22
Peanut[VMGuy23]: do-release-upgrade on the box, works fine.19:23
Maik[VMGuy23] Peanut it's not recommended to upgrade to 21.04 yet19:23
Maikthere's a bug19:23
[VMGuy23]What is the bug19:23
Peanutoxek: Unfortunately, the old method has been dropped, and the new version isn't quite finished, nor is its documentation.19:23

sarnold[    0.000000] efi: EFI v2.50 by Lenovo19:25
Maikoxek: i was never aware of any netboot iso of 700MB in size, i only know of the netboot/mini iso: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/19:25
oxekMaik: I might be confusing it with debian then19:26
[VMGuy23][    0.000000] efi: EFI v2.70 by INSYDE Corp.19:26
Maikprobably oxek19:26

leagrisWhy is Ubuntu's 20.10 gradle version 4.4.1 from the apt repository, so old and obsolete when the current gradle version is 7.0?21:39
leftyfb!latest | leagris21:41
ubottuleagris: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.21:41
leftyfbleagris: if you have questions beyond that, feel free to email pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org21:43
leagrisYes ubottu, but the shipped Gradle 4.4.1 is from Dec 20, 2017 that's way older than Ubuntu 20.1021:44
leagrisIn the end Ill have to install gradle manually and remove te packaged version21:44
leftyfbleagris: the point you are missing is, Ubuntu is based on Debian. If Debian hasn't updated their package for whatever reason, neither did ubuntu.21:47
leagrisUbuntu used to be cutting-edge at least outside LTS releases21:48
leftyfbleagris: Ubuntu has never been known as "cutting edge". You're thinking of Fedora21:48
sarnoldleftyfb: itym arch? :)21:52
leftyfbsarnold: either one. Either way, Ubuntu has never been known to be running the latest version of anything for more than a few months. Maybe Firefox and anything from snap21:53
leagrisWell I am on Ubuntu since Warty like 2003 or 2004. It used to be significantly  ahead and more user friendly than Debian.21:56

davido_On a dual boot system, after a Windows update I failed to be able to reboot. The boot partition appears to have been corrupted. I've been trying to use Boot Repair but have run into a problem where it is requesting that I create a 100-250mb start of disk ESP/Boot partition.22:34
matsamandavido_: what happens when the system boots up?22:34
davido_I now get a BIOS based boot menu22:37
matsamandavido_: what's your dual boot setup like? partitions, disks, etc.22:38
davido_Let me back up one moment... the boot repair requested that I create a 250mb boot partition. One already existed, but I re-created it. So it's not unexpected that at this point I wouldn't be able to reboot... since the boot repair was still unable to perform its duties.22:39
matsamanUbuntu's live image boot repair?22:40
davido_The setup is a single NVMe0 SSD with Ubuntu and Windows22:40

matsamanqwertuttyty: my log has no explanation of your issue22:47
qwertuttytylog ubuntu server irc22:47
davido_Intresting. So running boot repair again so I could give you an error report apparently succeeded. However, the windows option has now disappeared from grub.22:48
qwertuttytyI do not remember the link to the log ubuntu irc22:48
qwertuttytylink (url)22:49
matsamandavido_: that's okay, you can fix that too22:49
matsamanqwertuttyty: I don't need a log at this time, only an explanation of the issue you are dealing with22:49
davido_Now I'm booted to the installed Ubuntu22:49
matsamangood22:49
matsamandavido_: this is probably still good info: https://askubuntu.com/questions/197868/grub-does-not-detect-windows22:50
qwertuttytyif log save every time, or through 24 hours. I Don't know22:51

qwertuttyty https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XDKsWGnFrS/ https://ibb.co/DfszRwH This is so for everyone with any file system on usb flash: constantly writes to the usb flash? Windows host, Guest Mint 20.1. Files are not used with usb flash. Vmware Player. Of course, I can format it to another file system, such as exfat, and see what happens to the other file system. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZY7kcRTGXZ/ https://ibb.co/JpVwZmr22:54

qwertuttytyMy flash drive is connected to the guest permanently 10 -15 hours.22:57
qwertuttytythe flash drive is only mounted.23:02
ash_worksiI sometimes see `md5 -q ...` or `md5 -s ...` ... where does that command come from? can I get it from one of the official repos?23:04
CodeMouse92ash_worksi: Is that md5 or md5sum?23:04
davido_I wonder if I'm losing the SSD.23:05
matsamandavido_: that Windows' update immediately preceding the event, on its own, is the cause, is a much simpler explanation23:06
matsamanbut if you're worried about data and don't have backups yet, do that first23:07
davido_True. But I'm also finding that I can't boot to the Ubuntu partition that I was using prior to that update. It'll boot to an old install (the 67gb partition) but not the working one (306gb partition)23:07
qwertuttytyhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZY7kcRTGXZ/23:08
davido_But you're right about the simplist explanation.23:08
davido_Also, I do keep backups, so I'm ok there.23:08
ash_worksiCodeMouse92: just `md5`23:08
matsamandavido_: mmm23:08
matsamandavido_: is this a laptop?23:08
davido_yes23:08
davido_x1 carbon 6th gen23:08
CodeMouse92Ah, I see it. It's here: https://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/23:09
CodeMouse92But, no, I don't see this anywhere in the Ubuntu universe repos23:09
matsamandavido_: hummm, was there a bios/uefi update?23:09
CodeMouse92Incidentally...md5sum should basically do the same thing, I'd think, or at least close23:09
davido_No.23:10
davido_I would have done that separately, and didn't.23:10
matsamanweird23:10
davido_I keep the thing in Ubuntu like 95% of the time. Once in awhile I boot to Windows so that I can connect my Garmin Edge cycling GPS to update it.23:10
Fissurejust popping in to say "fuck you" to any of those present responsible for breaking filesystem access from Chromium23:11
qwertuttytynot much in the idle writes ( if writes). ~ 1 mb per hour.23:11
davido_I'll attempt to boot to my working Ubuntu install and report the message...23:11
matsamandavido_: I'd use a VM for that23:11
davido_That may be where I end up. I was avoiding disrupting the factory-installed Windows as long as I could get away with it.23:12
qwertuttyty1MB23:12
matsamandavido_: well, might be academic at this point, yeah, but23:12
matsamandavido_: if it has a rescue partition, you can just back that up 1:1 and will still be able to factory restore it later if you choose23:13
davido_Attempting to boot to the working Ubuntu partition to see what error I get.23:13
matsamanif it has a windows rescue partition, that is (re: windows factory-installed)23:14
davido_You are in emergency mode......23:14
davido_Well, I guess my project tonight will be to boot to the partition that does work, mount any other partitions and back them up (in addition to my normal backups, just in case), and wipe clean / start over without dual boot.23:16
qwertuttytyHumor or not humor: if bad alignment is done in f2fs, then after a while there will be a hole in the usb flash drive23:17
davido_as for recovery, I don't see that option anymore in grub23:18
matsamandavido_: think it'll be pretty darn easy by comparison, virtualization23:18
matsamandavido_: well there's either a partition with a recovery/install image for Windows, or there isn't23:19
davido_There is that partition. Booting to it, I don't know about.23:19
matsamanyou don't need to now, just back it up and you can later if you ever want to23:19
davido_oh, got it.23:19
matsamanjust dd it to a file23:20
davido_So... this is now OT: Will I be able to use my old windows key to activate it within a VM?23:20
matsamanyou can backup the partition layout too if you want, although I hope that wouldn't matter to the restore image23:20
matsamandavido_: there are ways you can do that, yeah23:20
matsamanwhat version of Windows is it?23:20
davido_some version of 1023:20
matsamanmmm, finding the license key or whatever in the FS that isn't running =)23:21
matsamansounds boring indeed23:21
davido_Well, I still have the box but I'm not sure if they include that inside these days.23:22
matsamanhttps://www.google.com/search?q=how+find+windows+product+key+from+filesystem =)23:22
matsamanI mean it'll be somewhere on the FS, but that's not something I've done before23:23
davido_yeah, it's fine. Thanks for your help though.23:23
matsamanyou can also migrate an on-metal Windows installation23:23
matsamanto a VM23:23
matsamanbut it'd probably be easier if it were working already23:23
matsamanso I don't know, I guess worst case scenario you could try and boot that recovery partition, then it'd be easier to get the key, but I think you can probably find it on the FS with less effort, most likely, just a guess23:24
davido_I'm not sure I actually care that much about somthing that I use only once in awhile, and spend most of my time using it being a slave to its updates. :)23:24
matsamanhonestly23:26
matsamanMicrosoft does provide timebombed VM images you can use, IIRC23:26
matsamanand it's really easy to automate their use on GNU/Linux23:26
davido_Yeah, I've used those on other systems.23:26
matsamanI've backed up so many Windows systems, pretty much never put them back =P23:27
davido_and I could even do a full install in virtualbox, and just not activate it. It would pester me but that's about the end of it.23:27

davido_thank you23:31
qwertuttytyThis is not a problem with the file system or exfat driver. This is such a bad usb flash drive23:31
davido_ok, heading out. thanks again.23:32
