| isapgswell | why not ubuntu software uses swap? | 00:29 |
| isapgswell | here is too slow when click on category | 00:29 |
| isapgswell | loading image apps and description is too slow | 00:32 |
| sarnold | do you have spinning metal, ssd, or nvme drives? | 00:32 |
| isapgswell | sarnold m2 ssd | 00:34 |
| isapgswell | sarnold any hint? | 00:35 |
| tomreyn | isapgswell: how much ram does this system have, which ubuntu release and desktop variant (default = gnome3) are you running? | 00:38 |
| tomreyn | what amkes you say that the system does not use swap? | 00:39 |
| tomreyn | oh you're saying that the "ubuntu software" application does not repond to user input as swiftly as you expect. | 00:40 |
| tomreyn | that's probably not realted to swapping,t hough | 00:40 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn yes, ubuntu software do not respond to user input as swiftly as i expect | 00:42 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn too slow after i click on category for example | 00:42 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn 32GB ram, ubuntu 20.04.2 gnome shell | 00:43 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn 240Mbps link connection | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | isapgswell: i have very little experience with this software, can't really comment. if you can get used to it, working with "apt" (and "snap", if you want) in a terminal can be a lot faster. | 00:45 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn yes | 00:46 |
| tomreyn | i think "ubuntu software" is a snap itself, though, which could have an impact on how fast it feels. | 00:46 |
| sarnold | is it? if so that's probably related | 00:47 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn i think you're right. in my opinion for the begginner users it's relevant | 00:47 |
| isapgswell | tomrey recent users dont care about command line apt snap commands | 00:48 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn and ubuntu's purpose is user friendly | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | isapgswell: i'm not an ubuntu developer, there's no use in discussing this with me. there's #ubuntu-discuss for discussions | 00:50 |
| tomreyn | (but don't expect discussions had there to carry into ubuntu development either) | 00:51 |
| isapgswell | tomreyn ok | 00:53 |

| bumblefuzz | so, I just set up a fresh ubuntu linode | 02:02 |
| bumblefuzz | first admin task was to enable the firewall | 02:02 |
| bumblefuzz | yet, remotely, nmap shows port 53 open | 02:03 |
| bumblefuzz | and using dig, the linode returns DNS requests | 02:03 |
| bumblefuzz | how is port 53 open on a fresh ubuntu install with ufw enabled and no other changes? | 02:03 |
| sarnold | what server was installed on it to answer? | 02:08 |
| bumblefuzz | not sure I understand your phrasing | 02:09 |
| bumblefuzz | the remote server was ubuntu 20.04 | 02:09 |
| bumblefuzz | the local machine is also ubuntu | 02:09 |
| tomreyn | chances are this is a multi chain setup | 02:11 |
| tomreyn | i.e. docker or similar | 02:11 |
| bumblefuzz | ok but what does that mean in terms of port 53? | 02:12 |
| tomreyn | i think ufw only blocks on the INPUT chain | 02:12 |
| tomreyn | + output if you change its policy on that | 02:12 |
| sarnold | bumblefuzz: there's something like a dozen different DNS servers for authoritative, recursive, forwarders, stub, etc. I'm curious which one was on the system and answering queries | 02:13 |
| bumblefuzz | but input on port 53 is what should be blocked by UFW...unless I open it | 02:13 |
| tomreyn | i.e. if you have forward chains, or yet more separate chains, then your rules take no effect | 02:13 |
| tomreyn | ...on those | 02:13 |
| bumblefuzz | `netstat -nlp | grep 53` only shows systemd | 02:13 |
| bumblefuzz | this is a stock ubuntu linode with ufw enabled, nothing else | 02:14 |
| bumblefuzz | port 53 shouldn't be open | 02:14 |
| bumblefuzz | and it's not only open, it's responding to DNS requests | 02:14 |
| tomreyn | can you show sudo iptables -L | 02:14 |
| tomreyn | and tell us how you're testing | 02:16 |
| bumblefuzz | nmap remote_ip | 02:17 |
| bumblefuzz | and dig @remote_ip www.somesite.com | 02:17 |
| bumblefuzz | I can't copy the pastebinit links | 02:17 |
| bumblefuzz | dunno how to get this over to you guys | 02:17 |
| bumblefuzz | one sec... lemme get a VPN installed and ssh in | 02:18 |
| DumbLDoor | Hi! I have had multiple 21.04 system crashes with a browser that worked perfectly with 20.10 | 02:22 |
| DumbLDoor | Gool Gorrilla, terrible Hippo !! | 02:22 |
| sarnold | DumbLDoor: omg I just now got your nickname.. | 02:25 |

| amosbird_ | sarnold: cool | 02:27 |
| sarnold | amosbird_: well, I talked with DumbLDoor for who knows how long a few days ago and never caught on.. heh | 02:27 |
| bumblefuzz | there's nothing here that indicates port 53 should be open | 02:30 |
| DumbLDoor | Sarnold: ? | 02:31 |
| DumbLDoor | ! | 02:32 |
| DumbLDoor | Anyone else uses Palemoon browser? | 02:32 |
| tomreyn | bumblefuzz: i can't tell from this output, sorry. | 02:37 |
| bumblefuzz | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kMnzMZmj6C/ | 02:41 |
| bumblefuzz | ss shows port 53 only listening on localhost | 02:41 |
| bumblefuzz | so, why is it accessible from the internet | 02:41 |
| bumblefuzz | ? | 02:41 |
| bumblefuzz | ufw shows it's closed | 02:42 |
| tomreyn | ipv6? | 02:42 |
| bumblefuzz | how can I check that? | 02:42 |
| tomreyn | specify the ipv6 address rather than the ipv4 address (or FQDN) when testing | 02:42 |
| bumblefuzz | and these addresses are 127.0.0.53 | 02:42 |
| bumblefuzz | that's ipv4 | 02:42 |
| bumblefuzz | yeah, it doesn't have an ipv6 address | 02:42 |
| bumblefuzz | linode only gives of an ipv4 | 02:43 |
| bumblefuzz | gives me* | 02:43 |
| enyc | bumblefuzz: I thought linode are IPv6-enabled too... | 02:43 |
| enyc | bumblefuzz: check 'ip -6 addr' and 'ip -6 ro' ... | 02:43 |
| enyc | NB: ignore fe80: (link-local) addresses in the ip -6 addr list | 02:44 |
| bumblefuzz | you're correct | 02:45 |
| tomreyn | about your ss output: 127.0.0.53 is the local address, but it shows the service does listen to connections from anywhere. | 02:45 |
| bumblefuzz | how do I disable ipv6 to check if that's it? | 02:45 |
| tomreyn | your nmap output should actually tell the ip address that it connected to | 02:46 |
| tomreyn | well, "connect" is the wrong term, it's not tcp. the port it sent traffic to and received a response from. | 02:46 |
| tomreyn | you can choose not to configure a routable ipv6 address on the wan interface, that should suffice, no need to diable ipv6 support in general. | 02:49 |
| bumblefuzz | that step is done for me | 02:50 |
| bumblefuzz | I can only act retroactively on ipv6 | 02:50 |
| bumblefuzz | yeah, ipv6 is disabled and port 53 is still wide open and accepting DNS requests | 03:00 |
| bumblefuzz | I can't find any reason this should be accepting port 53 traffic | 03:14 |
| rxdeath | weird happenings...i installed 2 ubuntu 20.04 vms at the same time, one the alias for ll works, one it does not. i have made 0 changes to the file. any reason why this could be happening? | 03:27 |

| furycd001 | HI Guys.. I was on here yesterday morning with the problem of my laptop failing to boot to the desktop. After spending a while trying to boot back into my desktop I gave up & opted for a reinstall. I reinstalled xubuntu 20.04.2 but again kept getting stuck at the same place & couldn't access the desktop. Reinstalled yet again using xubuntu 18.04.5 & now I can access the desktop & do a bunch of things (all-be-it with a go | 06:52 |
| furycd001 | en tearing). | 06:52 |
| furycd001 | My problem now is that whenever I install nvidia drivers my laptop will fail to boot or will boot, but will lock up at lightdm. Sometimes It'll let me login to the desktop & then decide to lockup several seconds later. | 06:52 |
| furycd001 | I booted into recovery mode & ran "sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'" to remove all nvidia drivers & then rebooted using noveau drivers. To install drivers I go to Settings >> Additional Drivers >> http://i.imgur.com/HkgwelX.png | 06:52 |
| furycd001 | Could someone please help me becuase I'm not that great when it comes to debugging or fixing things & I would love to get my graphics card working again. | 06:52 |
| ducasse | furycd001: if you don't get a response, try a little later as there are few people here now. i'm no guru on nvidia drivers, so don't think i can help | 06:59 |
| furycd001 | Ok thank you for the heads up. I don't actually have a lot of time later today so I might have to wait until monday :/ | 07:00 |
| ducasse | furycd001: what does 'ubuntu-drivers list' say? | 07:02 |
| furycd001 | It shows this >> https://termbin.com/z9u5 | 07:04 |
| ducasse | do you remember which version you installed previously? | 07:06 |
| ducasse | EriC^^: you got any ideas? | 07:06 |
| furycd001 | I tried the 460 because it has tested beside it & I also tried 390.... | 07:07 |
| ducasse | you could try a later version from the graphics drivers ppa | 07:07 |
| furycd001 | the 390 would slowly let me boot to the desktop but would crash like 20seconds later. The 460 would just lock up on boot or at lightdm.... | 07:07 |
| EriC^^ | no idea here ducasse | 07:08 |
| furycd001 | Hmmm do you think a driver from ppa would work ?? | 07:08 |
| EriC^^ | what does 'sudo ubuntu-drivers devices' show for recommended driver? | 07:08 |
| ducasse | maybe, could be worth a shot | 07:08 |
| furycd001 | it shows this >> https://termbin.com/d65k | 07:09 |
| ducasse | does nouveau work? | 07:10 |
| furycd001 | Yes I'm currently booted to the desktop using nouveau. | 07:11 |
| furycd001 | There's a ton of screen tearing though when moving windows about or watching videos. | 07:11 |
| furycd001 | When I try a nvidia driver & it doesn't work I boot into recovery mode & run "sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*" using the root console.... | 07:12 |
| ducasse | i think i'd try the ppa | 07:17 |
| furycd001 | Ok I'll give that a try and see what happens. Do you have a link for the ppa ?? | 07:17 |
| ducasse | https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 07:18 |
| furycd001 | Thank you :) | 07:18 |
| ducasse | yw, i just hope it helps. | 07:19 |
| furycd001 | I hope so too | 07:19 |
| ducasse | furycd001: let us know how it goes | 07:23 |
| furycd001 | Yes I will be straight back here once I get back to my desktop.... | 07:24 |
| === denningsrogue688 is now known as denningsrogue68 | ||
| furycd001 | Ok so I installed the latest driver from the ppa which is 465 & rebooted twice to a black screen with a solid cursor in the top left of the screen. Back on nouveau again to access the desktop.... | 07:45 |
| ducasse | well, that sucks | 07:47 |
| furycd001 | Yep ;( | 07:47 |
| furycd001 | On monday I done a fresh 20.04.5 install. Worked fine until yesterday morning whenever my system just randomly locked up. Couldn't get 20.04 | 07:48 |
| furycd001 | to install so I went with 18.04.5 | 07:48 |
| Diagon | Trying to figure out mkfs.f2fs options for 20.04. fsfs.h refers to compression, but I get an error when I try to make the FS with '-O compression' | 07:49 |
| furycd001 | I'm kinda thinking my graphics card might be faulty ?? | 07:49 |
| Diagon | Headers for FSFS are in: /usr/src/linux-hwe-5.8-headers-5.8.0-53/include/trace/events/f2fs.h | 07:50 |
| Diagon | 'man mkfs.f2fs' merely says, "specify a feature list in order f2fs filesystem will supports. e.g "encry-pt" and so on." [sic] | 07:52 |
| Diagon | 'man mount' has no reference to f2fs | 07:52 |
| Diagon | Everywhere I look, f2fs in 5.8 kernel is supposed to have lzo, lz4, zstd and lzo-rle | 07:53 |
| Diagon | Every way I try, I get "Error: Wrong features" | 07:58 |
| huwjr | hey i recently moved from mac to ubuntu as my daily driver. i'm trying to figure out how i can set it up so i get an 'are you sure' prompt when i use my ssh key that's been added with: ssh-add -c | 08:11 |
| furycd001 | huwjr: I've never used ssh before, but you could probably write a simple bash script that uses the read command. Here's an example >> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/226703/how-do-i-prompt-for-yes-no-cancel-input-in-a-linux-shell-script .... | 08:13 |
| Diagon | I think you could just do zenity --question "Sure?" && ssh <host> | 08:13 |
| huwjr | it's a built in ssh feature that i just need the prompt from | 08:17 |
| huwjr | i need it to happen passively when something tries to use my key, not just when i actively run a command | 08:18 |
| furycd001 | Ahhh right ok gotcha.... | 08:19 |
| Diagon | Then you want inotify or incron or somesuch to be triggered when the key file is accessed. | 08:20 |
| huwjr | it's not a file when it's added to the agent, it's either a random socket file or in ram (i'm not actually sure tbh) | 08:26 |
| Diagon | Ah. I.c. | 08:26 |
| huwjr | the point is it allows me to type my long password once and then control whether it's usable with a yes/no answer | 08:28 |

| furycd001 | Hey guys.. I finally made it to a desktop using nvidia drivers :) | 09:55 |
| furycd001 | Ok so I removed the ppa & installed the standard tested nvidia-driver-460 & have been able to boot to my desktop using kernel 5.4.0-42-generic. | 09:55 |
| furycd001 | I uninstalled kernel linux-image-5.4.0-73-generic using apt-get purge & I can now boot straight to my desktop without having to fiddle with grub. | 09:56 |

| torbjorn | I'm trying to map Super-right and Super-left to specific commands, but they don't seem to work. Under keyboard shortcuts there's nothing else that maps to these. | 10:18 |
| torbjorn | are there other places where these might be mapped to something? And how could I track what happens when I hit that keyboard combo? | 10:19 |
| * enyc meows | 10:30 | |
| enyc | torbjorn: i'm not expret on that stutaino but i would say -- ubuntu version and desktop type may be significant info to include in your query | 10:31 |

| torbjorn | enyc: I think I'm using Gnome 3, but I' not sure how to tell. I installed ubuntu without really making a concious choice on the matter. Also I have mapped the key with a windows logo on it to other shortcuts, which do work, using the label "Super" to set them up | 11:00 |
| torbjorn | I have the outline of a cat on my desktop, which stares at something to the left of my screen, and there's a left bar where running applications appear, and there's a top bar that has datetime in the middle, sys tray on the right, and "Activities" on the left corner | 11:01 |
| torbjorn | Where I would expect to see "Gnome Desktop" something.. something.. in programs (settings for example), I consistently see "Ubuntu Desktop" instead, but I'm pretty sure this is gnome | 11:03 |
| agvantibo | This is Focal Fossa (20.04) | 11:04 |
| agvantibo | And it most likely runs GNOME 3 | 11:04 |
| torbjorn | would it vary for recent ubuntu releases? | 11:04 |
| agvantibo | Yes | 11:05 |
| agvantibo | Submit a screenshot of this https://i.imgur.com/wpSmoej.png | 11:05 |

| torbjorn | https://pasteboard.co/K1Qmqxg.png | 11:07 |
| agvantibo | Yes, it is GNOME 3 | 11:10 |
| torbjorn | I come from Fedora, typically running other-than-gnome DE's , but the Super key is becoming less and less available there too, though I have been able to use Super-left, Super-right (and also Super-space), none of which have responded to me in gnome 3 (yet!) | 11:10 |
| agvantibo | So you are trying to remap Super+Left and Super+Right to do stuff? This is a WM builtin, so you would either have to work around it, or use X remappers. | 11:12 |
| torbjorn | what are they builtins for? | 11:12 |
| agvantibo | (They are normally bound to window tiling) | 11:12 |
| torbjorn | those are remappable though, in the same shortcut-setup interface | 11:13 |
| torbjorn | (I have remapped them to new, working, key comboes) | 11:13 |
| torbjorn | Super-space, which I didn't really ask about, but would also like, I had to clear in a dconf menu, it is setup to toggle input sources I think, or keyboard language in effect | 11:16 |

| nucc1 | does anyone know where the conntrack information is located on ubuntu 20.04? | 15:39 |
| nucc1 | there's no /proc/net/nf_conntrack on my device or /proc/net/ip_conntrack | 15:40 |
| tomreyn | nucc1: it's a module, is it loaded? lsmod | grep conntrack | 15:41 |
| nucc1 | tomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JNyKGxKvWT/ | 15:42 |
| nucc1 | seems to be loaded. this is my router, so i imagine it would be broken if this module wasn't loaded | 15:43 |
| tomreyn | hmm, same here, on 5.4.0-72-generic | 15:45 |
| nucc1 | i think the data goes somewhere else and perhaps nobody has remembered to document this... or i'm not looking hard enough :) | 15:45 |
| tomreyn | maybe you need to enable accounting | 15:46 |
| nucc1 | i have just installed the package "conntrack", and it is able to find and display the info i want, so the data must be there | 15:47 |
| nucc1 | i think i'll have to figure out a way to get the data from conntrack though. | 15:47 |
| nucc1 | i'm trying to setup a scheme that would packet-sniff all the traffic for a host on my LAN as well as all the NATed traffic on the WAN port | 15:48 |
| nucc1 | doesn't seem like there's an easy way to do this, so i'm looking at writing a script that would periodically check the conntrack table and run a new tcpdump instance for any new hosts that the LAN host connects to | 15:48 |
| nucc1 | ultimate aim is to figure out why i'm getting packet loss on my otherwise clean network. | 15:49 |
| nucc1 | i can't say for sure if the packets are getting dropped by QOS or not. | 15:50 |
| nucc1 | I can't imagine that the QOS will drop packets in a way that results in the connection failing as a result of too many missed ACKs | 15:50 |
| tomreyn | you could check the source code. or, if this utility reads it from a FSO, strace should tell. | 15:50 |
| nucc1 | yea, i need to git-clone it. | 15:51 |
| nucc1 | sadly there's no tarball download like github does | 15:51 |
| nucc1 | grrrr. i don't have Virt feature enabled on my CPU.... i need to reboot and get into bios. | 15:52 |
| nucc1 | (sigh). | 15:52 |
| nucc1 | looks like it uses https://netfilter.org/projects/libnetfilter_conntrack/index.html | 16:17 |

| apathor | hi. in what environment do apt postinstall scripts run? i have a postinst failure i think related to PATH containing /usr/local/bin | 16:25 |

| Sir_Burns | Can you login to sql server as root? | 16:49 |
| Sir_Burns | Is it running? | 16:49 |
| parapan | I dont think so ... | 16:49 |

| mwillc | is it expected that an LTS Ubuntu point release; e.g. 18.04.2, not change to say 18.04.5 after running an apt upgrade against an up to date repo mirror? Does the contents of /etc/os-release ever change after the initial OS install? | 16:52 |
| parapan | Sir_Burns: went through some of the answers .....no luck ... | 16:53 |

| AlexPortable | Where can I get a flash .so? All websites I found tell me to install flashplugin-installer, which doesn't actually create any files | 16:54 |
| nucc1 | Antoine_ i don't understand you. the network installer is small, but it requires that the machine have internet access during installation. | 16:57 |
| nucc1 | so you should be able to flash it onto your usb stick and install it. The details of the installation don't depend on the installation media. | 16:57 |
| nucc1 | does anyone know how to fix this impasse I have? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RZGzddHBjX/ | 16:58 |

| JustLandedOnMars | hi | 17:30 |
| JustLandedOnMars | I run "cfdisk /dev/sdb" and it says: | 17:31 |
| JustLandedOnMars | Select label type: gpt, dos, sgi, sun | 17:31 |
| JustLandedOnMars | so which type do I choose ? | 17:31 |
| JustLandedOnMars | I want to create 4 primary partitions with extfs on it | 17:32 |
| JustLandedOnMars | I just checked other disks I had, HDD and flash drive they have "dos" so I will use "dos" here too | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje | !partitioning | JustLandedOnMars | 17:34 |
| ubottu | JustLandedOnMars: For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap | 17:34 |
| JustLandedOnMars | right | 17:34 |
| JustLandedOnMars | I know how to partition | 17:34 |
| JustLandedOnMars | its just this time I run fresh "cfdisk" and it asked me to chose one of these types, that is first time | 17:35 |
| JustLandedOnMars | other than that I did partitioned before | 17:35 |
| JustLandedOnMars | yes, right, its not what I expected just link to external resource, but thanks anyway | 17:35 |
| JustLandedOnMars | I thought maybe some "human interaction" | 17:36 |
| donofrio | what switches would I need for lsof to list processes and ports bound to them but not child processes? | 17:42 |
| nucc1 | ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2sPq7RGnGy/ --- this was a pristine install of ubuntu server a month or so ago :) | 17:44 |
| tomreyn | JustLandedOnMars: you want either gpt or dos (AKA mbr). dos is the classic partition table, nowadays you may want to prefer gpt. | 17:49 |

| TJ- | tomreyn: tired eyes 28-hour stint! | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | ooof | 17:59 |
| TJ- | nucc1: OK, let's clear the error directly since it'll be much faster than trying to figure out WHY this has broken. "sudo apt install libc6-dev build-essential" | 17:59 |
| nucc1 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Xfcp6FMfZs/ | 18:01 |
| TJ- | usually this occurs because an already-installed package conflicts with one being requested, or as in this case, is a dependency required by the package(s) being installed | 18:01 |
| TJ- | nucc1: you DID do "sudo apt update" and that did complete successfully fetching the most recent package lists? | 18:02 |
| nucc1 | TJ-: sure I did: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zhYccq9t8R/ | 18:03 |
| TJ- | nucc1: strange. Looking on a 20.04 system here, it upgraded all the libc6* packages on 21st April from 2.31-0ubuntu9.2 to 2.31-0ubuntu9.3 | 18:05 |
| rfm | this looks like the problem where a bad libc6 version was installed and backed out. if one happened to upgrade while the bad package was they got it | 18:06 |
| TJ- | nucc1: OK, one step further. "sudo apt install libc6 libc6-dev build-essential" | 18:06 |
| rfm | I have the bad 9.3 package (but the bug doesn't affect me, forget what it was) | 18:06 |
| TJ- | rfm: yes it does | 18:07 |
| nucc1 | TJ-: still same complaint about libc6 | 18:07 |
| TJ- | nucc1: hmmm, this is starting to annoy me. Warn your PC it's about to get a slap! | 18:07 |
| rfm | I think the thing to do here is downgrade libc6 to 2.31-0ubuntu9.2 (the current highest version in the repos) | 18:08 |
| nucc1 | well, sadly, this is my router :) | 18:08 |
| nucc1 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rZcYFypJ3H/ | 18:08 |
| TJ- | nucc1: "apt-cache policy libc6 libc6-dev" | 18:08 |

| nucc1 | thanks TJ- , hope my router is not fubar :) | 18:11 |
| TJ- | nucc1: I have libc6-dev 2.31-0ubuntu9.3 installed here BUT my policy shows only 9.2 available. I suspect this will be the bug rfm referred to and that package was tempirarily pulled from the archive | 18:12 |
| nucc1 | yea, must be. | 18:12 |
