rain_523Hello, I've been having some problems by trying to pair some wireless headphones of mine to my pc with bluetooth. Whenever I turn bluetooth on the headphones never appear. I've connected the headphones to my phone before so I'm sure there's a problem with my laptop, not the headphones.00:55
IrcsomeBot<Abir_ben_soltane> try to unpair them01:49
IrcsomeBot<Abir_ben_soltane> i mean delete your headphones from yr laptop list01:49

lordievaderGood morning06:07

IrcsomeBot<bittin1> morning06:20
lnielsenHi all. My multi-monitor configuration is corrupted. Whenever I open the configuration, my 4K display isn't shown, the laptop it's connected to also has a screen which is either replicated which I can't disable or it overlaps, or it shows some kind of screen-in-screen...07:26
lnielsenI already tried restarting, disconnecting and reconnecting, removing and adding, shuffling the screens around, but my 4K monitor isn't even shown in the arrangement.07:27
lnielsenAny way I can hard reset the entire config?07:27
lordievaderlnielsen: Does `xrandr` still see it?07:27
lnielsenIt sees the monitor in the configuration07:27
lnielsenIt doesn't show it in the layout arragnement07:27
lnielsenAnd I have desktop, it's just messed up, a replica, an overlap, etc.07:28
lnielsenThis is extremely buggy, but I just want to do a hard reset07:28
lnielsenAlso, I somehow can't switch off 'replica' for the laptop monitor07:29
lnielsenAlso, both are somehow named "laptop screen" in the dropdown, until I select the 4K, it changes to its real name/ID07:32
lnielsenSo, very obviously totally corrupted and bugged07:32
lordievaderlnielsen: Does a new profile have the same problem?07:32
lnielsenHmm, good idea07:33
lnielsenI'll try that07:33
lnielsenbbiab07:33
lnielsenWhoever I was talking to just now: the problem doesn't present when creating a new user07:37
lnielsenSo I could run a diff -Nru07:37
lnielsenOr something?07:38
lnielsenHmmm, that yields no difference07:40
lordievaderThese days all the kde config should reside in `~/.config`. I'd hunt out anything related to kscreen, move that to somewhere else, and then a log-out-> log-in to see if the problem persists.07:40
lnielsenYeah, I switched to .config just now and the changes are endless07:41
lnielsenOk, I'll see what I can dig up with some cli magix07:43
lnielsen:p07:43
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> I have backports repo on hirsute enabled and added the stuff to /etc/apt/preferences to always use the backports repo (pin priority 500). … When I do a … apt -t hirsute-backports upgrage … I receive error saying its not in sources.07:46
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> "E: The value 'hirsute-backports' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources"07:50
lnielsenlordievader: there is no .kscreen ?07:50
lordievaderHrmm, would `~/.local/share/kscreen` be responsible?07:52
lnielsenlordievader: looks like it07:56
lnielsentrying..07:58
lnielsenlordievader: you're a goddamned hero08:01
lnielsenjust renaming the folder to .old and logging back in worked, Not unexpected, I inspected the contents of what was in there and it did look exactly the kind of warped display config I expected to find08:02
lnielsenBut I would have had no idea where to look if not for you, so thanks a million08:02
lordievaderNo problem. Been there done that ;)08:04
IrcsomeBot<micha51> Hi, … I think I somehow messed my audio/bt drivers. … I manage to connect my bt headphones (I get a notification they are connected from both the computer and the headphones), yet all sounds come only from the computer. Imagine what it can lead to... … Did anybody experience the same issue?08:28

IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Anyone please help.10:45
IrcsomeBot<jptagaio> hello. What is the default audio program used in kubuntu? I would like to remove it and install kmix10:45
ooskHello what should I do with these errors please ?https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HjvrbNSjKv/11:20
alkisgoosk: run a `sudo LANG=C apt install -f`, and paste the whole terminal output, so that we can see which one is the first error11:22

lnielsenI do understand some French and from what I can tell you paste says there are various dependency problems11:34
lnielsenyour*11:34
lnielsenYou could try to fix those with LC_ALL=C apt -f install and then tell us what the output of that is11:34
lnielsenDid you mix repositories in an attempt to install packages otehrwise inaccessible to you?11:35
alkisgYeah, the kernel update can't write the initramfs and it's blocking the rest of the updates; but since he's using linuxmint, I told him to ask there lnielsen11:35
alkisg(he also asked in many other channels...)11:35
oosk3 others*11:38
ooskbecause in LM channel they said "reinstall os"11:38
alkisg!linuxmint11:38
ubottuThe 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)11:38
alkisgUnfortunately this is a problem with distributions with less users11:38
alkisgThey don't have enough support11:39
alkisg(or packages of good quality)11:39
alkisgNow if you run `which apt`, you'll see that you're using a different apt than the rest of the world, because they have to patch it just to prevent their hand-modified packages from breaking11:39
alkisgIf you run `apt -y update`, it'll even say "not supported"; just reinstall with normal ubuntu ;)11:40
lnielsenalkisg: oh, I missed that11:41
alkisglnielsen: yeah that was in #ubuntu-mate11:41
lnielsenWell, I have nothing against Mint, but it's never to late to develop an antipathy :P11:42
lnielsentoo*11:42
lordievaderoosk, alkisg : Why can't it write the initramfs? Disk full?11:43
alkisgI spent an hour before realizing that they're shipping an "apt override" just to prevent system breakage :(11:43
alkisglordievader: no idea, I stopped the analysis when I realized it was linuxmint11:43
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pPffxFfHxT/11:44
ooskBoot is full11:44
ooskDisk is encrypted11:44
ooskalkisg11:46
lordievaderoosk: Did you already remove unsused kernels? (The packages, not the kernels itself)11:46
ooskI tried but it seems not working11:46
ooskI got only 3 kernels installed so why boot is full ?11:47
lordievaderoosk: Could you pastebin the output of `df -h /boot` and `du -hs /boot/*`?11:48
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/D6zYYSwzZf/11:49
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fXJJH59Dzh/11:50
lordievaderoosk: What is the output of `dpkg -l|grep linux-image`?11:51
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bVqJ3nGwSb/11:52
lordievaderIn Ubuntu land an `apt-get autoremove` should leave only the previous and current kernel. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. Might be Mint policy.11:52
ooskI'll be back in one hour max11:53
ooskthx everyone11:53
lordievaderoosk: You want to purge those -5[0-9]- kernels (`apt purge linux-image-5.4.0-5*-generic` should select all of those, but check the output). And the -26- kenrel needs to be manually removed.11:54
lordievaderThat will clear up some space.11:54
lordievaderAfter that you should be able to run your updates again.11:54
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> I'm very sorry for asking it for the third time but I truely am unable to figure out what's the issue. I can not make backports to work on Kubuntu 21.04. Can anyone please help?12:05
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rJNtgfnCcQ/12:06
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> This is the error that I'm getting12:06
lordievaderThe error is quite clear, ain't it? "as such a release is not available in the sources"12:24
lordievaderThere likely is not support (yet) for 21.04 in the backports repo.12:24
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> What does 'sources' here represent? Is it the repositories? Or my local sources.list file in /etc/apt/ ?12:25
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Oh! Can you enlighten me on this a bit? I manually visited http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and in the /ubuntu/dists directory, there is hirsute-backports. Although there isn't any Package in /ubuntu/dists/hirsute-backports/main/binary-amd6412:28
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> But there are "Release" files on the repo ar http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hirsute-backports12:29
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> *at12:29
=== Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life
lordievaderAh, wait. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the message. Is the hirsute-backports release part of your sources? (`cat /etc/apt/sources.list` and `cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list`)12:49
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/T4mkF5mgb8/12:50
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rCyBQBMX4D/12:50
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Also ran `sudo apt update` numerous times to ensure hirsute-backports gets listed and there are no errors.12:51
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/k72RbQJTNH/12:52
Mamarokand why don't you use the kubuntu backport sources?  you should have something like deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu/ hirsute main12:57
lordievadermusxigxn: What is the output of `apt-cache policy amarok`?12:57
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> lordievadar, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GgkdrkvjvZ/12:58
Mamarokas for "backprts of Amarok": there is no such thing, at least not that I know of, you are lookign for the PPAs for the current alpha release I guess?12:58
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> I mean lordievader12:58
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Mamarok, amarok is just for testing if the ubuntu backports repo works or not. If the package is not in the repo, the error must be different. In my case, it is related to 'hirsute-backports' being invalid for APT.13:00
lordievaderUnless it is still in the kubuntu backports, I'm afraid amarok is no longer maintained: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=amarok13:00
lordievader18.04 seems the latest release to have the package.13:01
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Error is not specific to the package. I tried it on other packages like gimp, libreoffice.13:01
Mamarokthat's what I jsut said, you need the PPAs from pgomes or joe-yasi for the current Amarok build13:01
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> If the package isn't available in the backports repo, APT would throw a relevant error instead of saying that the release is invalid.13:02
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> I do not want amarok. I just want to get hirsute-backports repo to work.13:02
Mamarokchange to the main server for your updates?13:02
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Already using the main server.13:03
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> i.e deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute-backports main restricted universe multiverse13:03
lordievaderLooking at the size of the Packages.gz file, I think it is too early for -backports. Those files are empty for main and multiverse.13:03
Mamarokthe only backports I can see that work are the kubuntu-ppa ones13:04
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> lordievader, yes, I saw that too. But how to confirm if the error is due to this fact only?13:04
lordievadermusxigxn: why do you need hirsute-backports to work?13:04
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> I didn't need them. I was just reading about backports in general and liked the idea. I just gave it a try and received that strange error. I just want to know the root cause of the error for my own understanding.13:05
Mamarokagain, if you want Kubuntu backports, you should add the Kubuntu-ppa backports, the other one is probably without any Plasma/KDE packages13:08
lordievaderI'm quite certain the backports repo is not yet in use, causing the error. Guess it is too early in the release cycle for 21.10 for there to be backports.13:08
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> @Mamarok, Kubuntu PPA backports are different than Ubuntu backports.13:08
Mamarokthe kubuntu-ppa has the 5.81.0 framework packages13:08
Mamarokyes, but since you are in the @kubuntu channel here we talk about Kubuntu here :-)13:09
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Kubuntu is essentially Ubuntu. Isn't it?13:11
IrcsomeBot<musxigxn> Same packages. Same repositories (Default).13:11
Mamaroknope, different team13:14
Mamarokdifferent desktop, etc. and the backports are specific13:15
Mamarokthe only thing you might get in the ubuntu backports that is common are newer kernel versions13:16

oosklordievader https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GHHzdB4VRY/14:27
ooskHi it's still here.14:28
lordievaderAh, lovely you're in 'that' situation. Try removing the -26- kernel and initramfs manually, perhaps that clears enough space for the new kernel.14:29
ooskI don't have that one14:32
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bVqJ3nGwSb/14:32
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JTjBw2pkQh/14:36
alkisgoosk: no. What was the output of `ls -l /boot`; it's best to delete some old initramfs from there, and let it run it course14:36
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wb6hVSRQSQ/14:37
lordievaderoosk: In there (/boot) you have a -26- kernel and initramfs14:38
alkisgoosk: sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-6; sudo apt install -f14:38
alkisgoosk: sudo rm /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-6*; sudo apt install -f14:38
alkisgthe second one; I forgot the asterisk in the first one14:38
lordievaderI'd leave the -6*- kernels als there are still packages for those. A purge should clean those up (including all the modules left over)14:38
alkisglordievader: initramfs isn't a package file14:39
alkisgIt's generated, not part of dpkg -L14:39
lordievaderHrmm, fair enough14:39
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tn5b4sG8Qz/14:39
alkisgoosk: use LANG=C, and paste all the output; did it remove the kernels above what you just sent?14:40
alkisgexport LANG=C14:40
alkisgso that we can read the output of the following commands14:40
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VC2mYnjWqw/14:41
alkisgoosk: run `ls /boot`, is it cleaner now, does it have more free space?14:41
alkisg(or df -h)14:42
ooskhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/B43HspKSMr/14:43
alkisgOK enough space; the kernel ^rc packages will be cleared when the other errors get avoided,14:44
alkisgSo the errors now are basically samba-common and grub-efi-amd64,14:45
alkisgoosk, did you do anything about that, e.g. like the rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba-common* that you suggested?14:45
alkisgDo you have any indication why samba errors out?14:45
ooskNo14:45
ooskI wanted to know if it's a good solution14:46
alkisgOK14:46
oosk?14:46
ooskShould I try these recommendations?14:46
alkisgNo14:46
ooskOk14:46
alkisgThey'll make things worse14:46
alkisgCan you install a package? sudo apt install x11vnc14:46
ooskYou want teamviewer?14:47
alkisgI have vnc and anydesk14:47
alkisgteamviewer doesn't run for me it says...14:47
alkisgThey complain that I used it a lot, which I didn't14:47
alkisgBut if you can install x11vnc, it's just one command to share screen14:47
alkisgx11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org14:48
ooskPM me14:48
ooski'll give you anydesk14:48
alkisgoosk: wait don't leave14:52
alkisgI'm loooking for a command14:52
ooskOk thqnks14:52
alkisgMeh I'll just re-write it14:52
ooskwhat is it please14:53
ooskdo you know how to fix this please14:54
ooskits a minor pb14:55
alkisgoosk, the first problem was fixed. This one is BIGGER though14:55
ooskLOOOL14:55
alkisgBecause it means that you have deleted files from /lib/dpkg manually14:55
ooskthanks a lot14:55
alkisgWait, give me a bit of time14:55
ooskits due to LM upgrade from 20 to 20.114:56
ooskI have to do this for every line14:58
alkisgNo14:58
alkisgWait, I need to go, let me sum up:14:58
ooskthanks a lot14:58
alkisg(I'll be back in an hour, wait: )14:58
alkisgI want to tell to the channel what I did14:58
alkisgAnd to you; keep it in your notes14:58
ooskNo problem14:59
alkisgI inserted an `exit 0` at the top of samba-common.postinst and grub-efi-amd64.postinst,14:59
alkisgso that apt finishes; we can then run these postinsts later to see what's wrong,14:59
alkisgthen I removed your ^rc kernels,14:59
ooskwhat's rc?14:59
alkisgrc means a package that was removed, but without its config files getting removed,14:59
ooskold one? non used14:59
ooskok thanks14:59
alkisgand "ic" was a linux version that was half-uninstalled,14:59
alkisgand now you have a problem where something (possibly the upgrade) deleted the dpkg information for some packages, not all of them,15:00
alkisgif you apt install --reinstall package, then this will go away,15:00
alkisgbut you DONT need all these packages; some of them might even conflict; they may only be needed in the older linuxmint,15:00
alkisgin which case, you need to apt install --reinstall package and then apt purge package15:00
ooskHow can I know if I need them or not ?15:01
alkisgBut you need to see e.g. in a linuxmint live cd which ones should be there and which ones not15:01
ooskOk I see15:01
alkisgIf you see a lot of changes, don't do it15:01
ooskit's not a big deal15:01
alkisgIf you see that it only installs/purges a single package, do it15:01
ooskUpgrade in Linux isn't very stable I see15:01
alkisgIt may cause other problems in the future, better fix it now.15:01
alkisgIt's very stable. But in mint it's not15:01
alkisgReally, don't use mint next time, they break packaging15:02
alkisgTime to go! Cheers!15:02
ooskThanks a lot Sir !15:02
alkisgnp15:03
alkisgoosk15:03
alkisgah, and another thing,15:03
alkisgYou'll want to fix samba-common and grub-efi too, the postinst15:03
alkisgIf you're here later on we can have a look together15:03
ooskOk thanks !15:03
ooskIf it's work without15:04
ooskI don't care15:04
ooskof them15:04
ooskAs long as it doesn't trigger another mistake in the future.15:06
ooskThat's fine with me.15:06
