[00:05] <Smashcat2> Jesus, finally found it. resolvconf has another config file hidden at /run/resolvconf/interface that injects the broken "search DOMAIN" and "nameserver 127.0.0.53" into resolv.conf . Weird.
[00:11] <jtraub91> tomreyn: didnt end up working ust fyi
[00:11] <jtraub91> but thanks anyway
[01:12] <signofzeta> i installed Ubuntu 20.10 on a convertible laptop.  Ubuntu always thinks the laptop is rotated 90 degrees more than it is.  for example, if i turn off screen-lock rotation and rest the laptop flat, the screen is in portrait mode.  any ideas?
[01:15] <maxFlexGuest> I am currently running my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS virtual machine with JWM. However, I am currently unable to configure JWM, as I am stuck without a JWMRC configuration file.
[01:15] <sarnold> what's jwm?
[01:16] <maxFlexGuest> JWM is Joe's Window Manager (an apt package for Ubuntu, not standard).
[01:16] <maxFlexGuest> Where is the JWM configuration file?
[01:18] <sarnold> usually window managers store their configs in something like ~/.jwmrc or ~/.jwm.rc etc. though if it's a newer window manager it may use ~/.config/jwm/jwm.config or something silly like that :) hopefully the manpage says the locations that it'll look at startup?
[01:29] <Pr070cal> how do i grep the output of hexdump
[01:29] <Pr070cal> sudo cat /dev/input/event4 | hexdump -C | grep 73
[01:30] <Pr070cal> it isnt working
[01:33] <sarnold> Pr070cal: each of those tools in the pipeline is probably using block-based buffering
[01:33] <sarnold> Pr070cal: if there's very few bytes going through the event4 stream, it might take a long time before they sent on to the hexdump process
[01:35] <Pr070cal> oh yeah 8 or 9 presses
[01:36] <Pr070cal> any way to fix it
[01:39] <sarnold> Pr070cal: the 'stdbuf' program *might* be able to help; try something like 'stdbuf -i0 -o0 cat /dev/input/event4 | stdbuf -i0 -o0 hexdump -C | grep --line-buffered 73
[01:49] <Pr070cal> thanks worked nicely
[01:50] <sarnold> yay :D
[01:59] <loganlee> hello my ubuntu freezed after resuming from suspend. how do i troubleshoot the cause?
[02:00] <sarnold> start by unplugging all your devices and see how it goes
[02:00] <loganlee> i do have an external drive by usb
[02:15] <Pr070cal> sorry could you help me again please
[02:15] <Pr070cal> i tried sudo stdbuf -i0 -o0 cat /dev/input/event4 | stdbuf -i0 -o0 hexdump | grep --line-buffered -e '0073' -e '0072' && echo "DETECTED"
[02:15] <Pr070cal> it out puts only when theres a 73 or 72 but doesnt echo
[02:16] <sarnold> Pr070cal: hmm, I don't understand.. what is it doing now, and what do you wish it did differently?
[02:17] <Pr070cal>  && echo "DETECTED"
[02:18] <Pr070cal> Bash oneliner. If the string "foo" is found in file content.txt then run the command work.sh, otherwise do nothing : cat content.txt | grep "foo" && work.sh
[02:18] <sarnold> the echo is only going to be executed when the grep process exits -- that's going to happen when the previous processes in the pipeline exit. so if the 'cat' process never reaches the end of a stream, the echo will never execute
[02:19] <blazeme8> i believe grep has a flag to exit after first match
[02:20] <sarnold> yeah... try adding -m1 to grep
[02:22] <Pr070cal> ok that works but it takes 2 presses
[02:22] <Pr070cal> and then it exits
[02:29] <loganlee> Pr070cal: you could use $? which is the return exit status of last command
[02:29] <loganlee> if grep has match then $? is zero
[02:32] <loganlee> blah... | grep pattern && echo $? && echo detected
[02:47] <Pr070cal> i dont think that one worked
[02:47] <Pr070cal> still second press
[02:48] <sarnold> weird, I wonder why
[02:48] <sarnold> you might be able to tell if you strace it all
[02:48] <Pr070cal> and if i put something like echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness
[02:48] <Pr070cal> at the end it doesnt execute
[02:48] <sarnold> but it might be easier to smack together a quick little program to do something similar
[02:49] <sarnold> sudo echo foo > /sys/something   probably won't work -- the > /sys/something is run by your shell, *not* the shell that sudo spawns
[03:09] <valk99> hi
[03:10] <valk99> can i upgrade my ubuntu version without having to reconfigure my website and what not?
[03:10] <valk99> i have had no issues so far but it looks i may need to upgrade
[03:11] <valk99> basically i want to upgrade without having to reinstall or reconfigure stuff like it was before
[03:12] <sarnold> valk99: It Depends
[03:12] <sarnold> valk99: the version of php that's packaged changes from version to version
[03:13] <sarnold> valk99: sometimes the web server configs change a bit too, there was one update when apache authz/authn stuff changed, that also required manual work on the part of sysadmins to address
[03:19]  * valk99 sighs
[03:20] <valk99> yeah i dont want to go through that apache stuff again
[03:22] <valk99> ok
[03:22] <valk99> so can i ask is it ok to continue using ubuntu 12.10?
[03:22] <valk99> although EOL
[03:23] <valk99> i really dont benefit from the upgrades because i dont do much anyways
[03:26] <xMopx> maybe fine, but definitely not forever :-P
[03:26] <valk99> right
[03:28] <valk99> tx
[03:28] <valk99> maybe i will upgrade
[04:44] <KittyTrouble> Helloooo I'm back
[04:45] <KittyTrouble> I'm having trouble getting static IP set up with ubuntu based on the info cox gave me
[04:45] <KittyTrouble> Would anyone be able to help with that?
[04:57] <cispra> KittyTrouble: you're not stating your problem, so how does someone know if he/she can help without approaching you at which point the person feels being held hostage to help at least in some capacity
[04:57] <cispra> ergo, the reason why channels have a "don't ask to ask" policy
[04:58] <KittyTrouble> In wired network settings, under IPV4 I'm trying to put in all my static IP info cox gave me, however when I tried to do that, it broke
[04:59] <KittyTrouble> Hold on
[04:59] <KittyTrouble> https://imgur.com/a/Hlu8VsN
[05:00] <EriC^^> hey KittyTrouble
[05:00] <KittyTrouble> hey
[05:00] <EriC^^> all good? did a usb flash boot and you reinstalled?
[05:01] <cispra> you couldn't find out if name servers are DNS without asking?
[05:02] <cispra> sorry, my self control sensors are kicking in and are telling me I am tired and mean, will shut up for today
[05:02] <KittyTrouble> Well I put the addresses in there, and my static IP did not work
[05:02] <KittyTrouble> So I need help getting it to work
[05:02] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: cox would normally provide you with a MTA/modem combo box thing? and their settings go on their box, NOT PC connected "behind" the MTA/box
[05:03] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: exception being a PC connected directly to a non combo or bridged MTA
[05:03] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: with that having been said...you're likely on a path that is counter productive
[05:03] <KittyTrouble> They did give me a combo box, yes. Are you saying that I'm not supposed to set up the ipv4 and leave it all automatic?
[05:06] <cispra> KittyTrouble: in the spirit of "don't solve what you don't have to solve" does static ip configuration solve anything in particular?
[05:06] <KittyTrouble> Considering the whole reason I bought this desktop is to host a web server, yes
[05:07] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: if you can't find the "self install" instructions provided by your ISP/cox...you should call them on the telephone and have a COX representative walk you through it.
[05:07] <cispra> KittyTrouble: I'm sorry, I was being sincere
[05:07] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: do yourself a favor and call COX and have a cox rep walk you through the process of using the service in which you pay for, or ask them to send a person out to do the installation
[05:08] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: else you run a high risk of doing something incorrect out of ignorance
[05:08] <KittyTrouble> Mmm. Okay.
[05:08] <KittyTrouble> Eric^^ Didn't mean to ignore you
[05:08] <EriC^^> KittyTrouble: no problem
[05:08] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: you have been given clear guidance now so pick up the phone and get help "directly" from cox
[05:09] <KittyTrouble> I'll see if they can help me
[05:09] <KittyTrouble> The last chat rep just gave me directions for how to set it up on a windows computer
[05:09] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: thats  what cox tech support is there for
[05:09] <cispra> that
[05:10] <KittyTrouble> Eric^^, So, after the external hard drive didn't work, I went and bought an external DVD burner and tried burning the live install onto a DVD-R. But the internal DVD-ROM reader wasnt recognizing it as a boot device either
[05:10] <cispra> oops, didn't want to send that ... pretty sure windows is what they are trained to support
[05:10] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: ask them to send someone to install for you, you probably shouldn't be attempting a "self install/setup" from the sounds of it...no offense
[05:10] <EriC^^> KittyTrouble: aha
[05:11] <KittyTrouble> In a last ditch effort I tried to hook up the external DVD burner to the computer itself and it read that as a bootable device
[05:12] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: odd..you reported 1=successful 24 hours ago for actually being able to install an operating system to internal disk
[05:12] <EriC^^> KittyTrouble: wow, nice!
[05:14] <elios> are you still working on the same problem, KittyTrouble?
[05:15] <tatertots> if so they weren't being forthcoming when they stated 1=success
[05:15] <KittyTrouble> elios, Eric^^ was helping me try to install ubuntu a couple nights ago, I was telling him progress on that
[05:15] <KittyTrouble> Today I am trying to figure out the static IP thing
[05:15] <tatertots> static IP thing is already in the past...you're to call cox tech support for assistance and ask to send someone out to install for you
[05:16] <elios> local network or isp?
[05:16] <tatertots> you can work hard or work smart...pick one
[05:18] <elios> it's quite easy to accomplish when you have openwrt on your router/switch
[05:18] <tatertots> Cox has self install instructions on their site, which you can find using any smartphone with data plan....if the instructions elude you, pick up the phone and ask for a installer to come out to install
[05:19] <KittyTrouble> oh lord
[05:19] <KittyTrouble> The internet is already set up but not the static ip -.-
[05:19] <elios> tatertots: in that case it's probably easier to just get a domain?
[05:20] <tatertots> if the self install instructions elude you, so will %99 of the terminology used in TCP/IP networking...so you really need to get a cox person on site to install for you...again no offense
[05:20] <KittyTrouble> I have a domain, pointing to my static IP...
[05:20] <elios> ah, nice.
[05:20] <KittyTrouble> I have apache server running
[05:20] <KittyTrouble> I need the static IP to be assigned to my computer, then everything will be great
[05:21] <KittyTrouble> Can you link me to those instructions?
[05:21] <KittyTrouble> Because even the chat reps havent been able to give me instructions
[05:22] <qswz> Hi guys, in my terminal, the cursor is taking one char width, I believe it wasn't like tis before
[05:22] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: is this cox internet at your residence? yes/no
[05:22] <qswz> or am I wrong?
[05:23] <cispra> qswz: right click settings look for "cursor shape"
[05:23] <elios> reverse dns?
[05:23] <cispra> qswz: you can set it but it's block for me to and I don't think I ever set it manually
[05:23] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: the instructions online are provided for Cox "Business" accounts ....your residential account is != cox business accounts
[05:23] <KittyTrouble> It's cox business internet at my residence
[05:24] <cispra> qswz: right click - preferences - cursor shape - drop down menu shows block, i-beam, underline as options
[05:24] <qswz> cispra: cursor style: block / underline. Thanks!
[05:24] <qswz> block style is terrible
[05:24] <KittyTrouble> It's a business account
[05:24] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: ouch touch spot to be in...a actual business would have real IT network/system engineers/administrators...in any event here is the link...good luck..you'll need it
[05:25] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: https://www.cox.com/business/support/locating-the-static-ip-cidr-block-address-and-dynamic-ips-in-myaccount.html
[05:25] <cispra> qswz: I don't mind it, guess it's about what one is used to
[05:25] <qswz> haha ok
[05:25] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: that is a self service point in their portal ..you can navigate from there
[05:25] <qswz> I hate how it hides a char
[05:26] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: seeing as you're a business account without the real IT system/network engineers/admins a real business would have on site..you'll need all the luck you can get..good luck in your endeavors
[05:27] <qswz> well, it doesn' hide a char, colors are reverted
[05:27] <cispra> qswz: it almost makes it easier to spot the exact cursor position in comparison to lines directly above and below
[05:28] <cispra> qswz: that discussion just inspired me to try out block cursor in vscode ...
[05:28] <qswz> indeed
[05:28] <cispra> qswz: thanks for that, not sure if I will keep it that way :D
[05:29] <KittyTrouble> I'm supposed to have "24/7 support by completecare" but idk how that works, hold on, I'm gonna see if theres someone i can talk to now
[05:29] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: IMHO..for a simple website...you would have had a path of less resistance hosting your site on the internet with some hosting service, instead of trying to be a network/system engineer/admin on the fly...there's a HUGE learning curve in front of you...like a mountain..mount everest
[05:29] <KittyTrouble> Okay, maybe I'm just overcomplicating things
[05:30] <cispra> tatertots: (I sympathize a lot with your reasoning and think the same, but it's too late for that I guess)
[05:30] <KittyTrouble> Does everyone not have to learn at some point?
[05:30] <cispra> tatertots: exactly why I would never host a website on my own server from a home connection, I don't want to be a network admin
[05:31] <cispra> maybe you should have started with a book on networking etc, or slowly getting to know new tech one by one instead of making such a big jump
[05:32] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: it would have been easier for you to learn how to work "linode" or the like
[05:32] <cispra> but yes it's fine, but be willing to read and research a lot, and really try to find some foundational material, not just hunting down copy paste stuff without understanding what you're doing
[05:33] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: but instead you will be going at this endeavor through what is known as "trial and error" or trail and MUCH error in your case
[05:34] <KittyTrouble> I'm not a complete idiot, I'm a programmer, but it's just that OS/network stuff isn't stuff that I deal with ever
[05:34] <cispra> I don't think we implied such a thing
[05:35] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: your website could have been up on linode or the like, without you trying to do things that seasoned and trained netowrk/system engineers/admins do on the daily basis...good luck climbing that mount everest of a learning curve that is in front of you though
[05:35] <KittyTrouble> Its going to start as a simple website but there's gonna be backend stuff
[05:35] <KittyTrouble> If I wanna move it online somewhere I will
[05:36] <tatertots> KittyTrouble: good thing it's just a project or for fun...in real business world time=money and down time is calculated and counted by bean counters...you could have been up and running on linode or the like, but instead you're here, and still not in production, which would be costing a REAL business $ by the minute
[05:37] <cispra> tatertots: let's drop it? I've think we hit that point home by now
[05:37] <tatertots> cispra: yeah...nailed that coffin
[05:37] <cispra> s/I've/I
[05:38] <elios> i think tatertots is about to fire KittyTrouble
[05:38] <cispra> definitely sounds like it
[05:41] <KittyTrouble> Technically it is a business but it's mostly just me except my artist and my brother
[05:42] <KittyTrouble> Anyways
[05:44] <tatertots> i wasn't trying to be offensive, that was not my intention
[07:21] <bodiccea> [already asked on #xubuntu]: Could someone check in "/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal" if on line 38 (line starting with "previous_version=") the "sed" command is "sed -n 2,3p" or "sed -n 2p" ? It is possible I made changes there long time ago, I am not sure.
[07:41] <guiverc> bodiccea, my file of that name doesn't even have 38 lines.. and does not contain an IF, nor `sed`
[07:42]  * guiverc corrects; thre is eval, there ae lines that qualify as 'if' or conditional (eg. test)
[07:46] <bodiccea> ok. There is no line starting with 'previous_version=' ? You can find it with "sed -n '/^previous_version=/p' /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal"
[07:49] <bodiccea> or grep, of course :) I was using sed to print lines around, no need for this.
[07:57] <|||> Is it just me, or does it seem like the newest Ubuntu has a glitch where it registers a middle mouse click instead of a scroll when scrollling?  I honestly don't think I'm actually clicking and its happening quite often. Wondering if anyone else is seeing the same. I've seen it on two differernt systems (one Lenovo laptop, one home built dekstop) runnung 20.10.... Different computers and different mice. There are only two things that are common: 20.10 and
[07:57] <|||> me.
[08:17] <VMGuy23> Hello, I have Xubuntu 20.04 on a pre-2010 laptop and the screen went black, also the mouse keeps disappearing every 5 seconds. I was updating while this was happening.
[08:17] <VMGuy23> Specs: Intel Atom, 1GB RAM
[08:26] <rfm> VMGuy23, geez that's tiny, I upgraded my old Acer netbook to 2GB and it's still painful.  Maybe xubu/lubuntu? or set-default to multiuser and see if it works in consoe more?
[08:28] <rfm> true that I can even boot windows on that old 2GB network, just have to be Very Patient
[08:29] <rfm> s/work/book
[08:29]  * rfm is going to bed, not sure I'm helping anyway
[10:51] <mirak> hi
[10:51] <mirak> does anyone understand how the grub uefi works ?
[10:55] <tomreyn> mirak: hopefully at least the grub developers do. but that's not the question you really wanted to ask, is it?
[10:56] <tomreyn> |||: that's not a general problem with 20.10, no.
[10:58] <tomreyn> VMGuy23: 1 GB RAM quite likely below the minium requirements for xubuntu 20.04 - maybe confirmt his in #xubuntu (or on the projects' website)
[10:59] <ZPQ> xbuntu works fine with 2GB ram...
[11:00] <ZPQ> I would not recomend 1GB ram this days for linux
[11:00] <ZPQ> everything is bloated
[11:02] <mirak> tomreyn, I asked on #grub already, but the channel is dead, or at least very quiet
[11:04] <ZPQ> mirak: I have never used uefi because I never needed it
[11:05] <ZPQ> uefi adds more problems if something is not working
[11:21] <VMGuy23> 1GB of RAM... yeah it's a very old laptop, HP Mini from pre-2010 and I, for some reason, upgraded from 7 to 10 a while back. Nice to have WIndows of that thing and something useable.
[11:22] <VMGuy23> *off
[11:23] <VMGuy23> What OS would you recommend for this? not sure if something might be better
[11:28] <handlebar> VMGuy23, maybe Puppy Linux?  May need to check out the specs on the website
[11:33] <tomreyn> mirak: you should discuss the problem you're facing and trying to solve, what you tried already, what the outcomes are. not ask meta questions, those will just gte ignored most of the time.
[11:36] <DrEvilsRabbit> can I have an USB wifi adapter as an access point and another USB wifi connected to a Wireless network that I intend to share with the access point ?
[11:42] <tomreyn> DrEvilsRabbit: theoretically, yes, if those support it and you set up routing accordingly. (no, sorry, i won't guide you through setting this up.)
[13:14] <BlessJah> mirak: Good read on EFI, http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/index.html
[13:16] <dfd> Hello everyone, I would like to know if i can tether internet from Android /laptop USB to ps4 ? Can someone help me please?
[13:19] <agvantibo> dfd, have you already tried?
[13:19] <dfd> Yes but it doesn't work.
[13:20] <dfd> USB ------> RJ45 ---> ps4 It's possible this way ?
[13:20] <agvantibo> Android generally doesn't play well with USB Ethernet
[13:20] <dfd> laptop---usb----router----rj45----->ps4 ?
[13:21] <agvantibo> Aaand why not laptop--->usb--->rj45--->ps4?
[13:22] <agvantibo> Do you have Wi-Fi working on your PS4
[13:22] <agvantibo> ?
[13:22] <dfd> Wifi is working yes
[13:23] <dfd> It's because I have 5g in android...
[13:23] <dfd> I didn't tried lapto usb rj45 ps4
[13:24] <agvantibo> You are thinking superfast speeds of 5G on a PS4
[13:25] <dfd> Yes my goal is to no longer have any fiber connection because I have unlimited 5g for cheap price...
[13:25] <agvantibo> USB 3.1 maxes out at 5GBpS so it could be a bottleneck
[13:26] <dfd> It's enough I think, i'm alone
[13:27] <agvantibo> And you could try (w/ some configuration) phone[13:27] <dfd> I only have one usb type c on my laptop
[13:28] <agvantibo> And on your phone you have the rusty ol' Micro USB 3.X
[13:28] <dfd> i got usb c on phone
[13:29] <agvantibo> Wait, then what's the problem?
[13:29] <agvantibo> Type C <[13:30] <dfd> Not a problem
[13:30] <dfd> On my laptop i don't have any rj45 port
[13:31] <agvantibo> phone[13:32] <agvantibo> *Wi-Fi OT = Wi-Fi on top - put the devices on top of each other
[13:32] <dfd> Wifi OT will be slower ?
[13:32] <dfd> than rj45 ?
[13:33] <agvantibo> Do you have a 5 Ghz wifi adapter in your laptop?
[13:34] <agvantibo> Oh snap, PS4's aren't into 5G
[13:34] <dfd> 5ghz yes
[13:34] <dfd> ps4 support 5 ghz
[13:35] <tatertots> dfd: what does your video game console have to do with Ubuntu the operating system?
[13:36] <tatertots> dfd: your video game console, nor your android or iPhone run Ubuntu
[13:36] <agvantibo> LAPTOP
[13:36] <agvantibo> THE LAPTOP
[13:36] <dfd> Because I can tether my phone to my laptop but not my PS4
[13:37] <tatertots> dfd: that means the Ubuntu laptop is functioning as designed (no problems)
[13:37] <dfd> So i'd like to do android-----laptop------ps4
[13:37] <tatertots> dfd: and you have a problem with game console
[13:37] <dfd> Do you have a tutorial for tethering ?
[13:37] <dfd> no
[13:37] <dfd> Please*
[13:38] <agvantibo> I'll STFW for a sec, you should try too
[13:38] <tatertots> dfd: it's the game console that lacks connectivity, not Ubuntu
[13:38] <agvantibo> *google racing*
[13:39] <tatertots> dfd: with that having been said, modern smart phones can operate as a Wifi hot spot...but your game console may not have wifi capabilities. Which would mean there is nothing you can do to connect video game console that doesn't involve plugging in a "ethernet" cable
[13:40] <dfd> I mean 5ghz is the same for speed/ping than ethernet
[13:40] <tatertots> dfd: you have no ethernet cable connection for the video game console, and that is NOT any Ubuntu related issue
[13:40] <dfd> you have no ethernet cable connection for the video game console, and that is NOT any Ubuntu related issue => I would like to know how to share internet to rj45 from ubuntu laptop
[13:40] <dfd> please
[13:41] <tatertots> dfd: Connecting a wifi capable video game console to a Wifi access point or hotspot is not directly related to the Ubuntu operating system. Since none of the video game consoles use Ubuntu as an operating system

[13:43] <tatertots> dfd: there is a guide on Ubuntu internet connection sharing, which may not directly line up with your desires abut that's about the limit of what is realistic for you to accomplish and or achieve
[13:43] <tatertots> dfd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[13:44] <tatertots> dfd: ideally the video game console that only has a Ethernet/LAN connection for connectivity is to be plugged directly into your home router/switch(directly) and if this isn't possible your chances of being on the internet with the game console greatly diminishes
[13:45] <WaV> dfd: here is something that appears to be simple and can be done via gui. https://askubuntu.com/questions/359856/share-wireless-internet-connection-through-ethernet
[13:45] <dfd> WaV you're a master !
[13:45] <dfd> thanks !
[13:46] <dfd> I'm going to try this
[13:46] <WaV> you just need the ability to set static ip on the ps4 which I don't believe will be a problem (Im assuming the ps4 has the capability of doing this)
[13:48] <dfd> Yes
[15:03] <rjwiii> Is this channel going to move to libera?

[15:21] <becks`> hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 2004 2 on a HP Z2 Mini G5 Workstation... getting these ACPI errors and the console GUI is not readable. somebody knows how to fix this? https://i.imgur.com/ESkBH74.png
[15:25] <Burrr> see ya on libera.chat
[15:28] <me-sudoer-dentne> what is libera.chat?
[15:29] <Maik> !ot | me-sudoer-dentne
[15:30] <mirak> BlessJah, thanks
[15:34] <ioria> becks`, you might try a kernel boot parameter: acpi=off  or pci=noacpi . it really depends on your hw
[15:38] <mirak> is the path to "/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg" hardcoded into grubx64.efi or shimx64.efi ???
[15:39] <mirak> even if I install efi in /EFI/@fossa/grub.cfg , then it always seems it's "/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg" content that is run
[15:41] <mirak> yeah it seems the issue, this guy says it is hardcoded https://askubuntu.com/a/722294

[17:13] <Anjor> Hello.  I cannot use Guitarix.  It crashes (core dumps) on launch. According to "screenfetch" software, I'm using Ubuntu 20.10 with Linux 5.8.0-53-generic.  Guitarix version is 0.41.0 from the repos.  I think Guitarix stopped working when I did a distro version upgrade a few months ago. I forgot about it since I record using real amps, but returning to it today reminded me it was broken.   Here's a

[17:26] <Nokaji> Hi, ... I'm preparing to convert a windows machine to a dual boot and need a backup of the OS in case of catastrophies ... I have a separate internal drive available, can anyone suggest some free, clone S/W ... I just tried with Acronis but it turned the entire drive into the backup, I want it on a partition - thx
[17:30] <enyc> Nokaji: hrrm techincally to restore you do actually need the mbr / code there not just partition .......
[17:31] <enyc> Nokaji: 'clonezilla' may be good idea
[17:31] <Nokaji> oh ... so no way arond it but to dedicate the entire disc? - okay
[17:31] <enyc> Nokaji: not quite
[17:31] <Nokaji> I'll take a look, can't be any worse :)
[17:31] <enyc> Nokaji: bear in mind all the 'empty' sectors are not needed
[17:32] <enyc> Nokaji: naive disk clone will clone everything uselessly
[17:32] <Nokaji> it had several options, I may have selected the wrong ones
[17:32] <Nokaji> I'd rather find something eaiser than read yet another entire manual
[17:33] <Nokaji> 115pps
[17:33] <enyc> Nokaji: also, if existing install is UEFI then you need ESP (EFI System partition) cloned too
[17:33] <Nokaji> yes, UEFI
[17:33] <enyc> Nokaji: i would also note dual boot can be a paint ongoing
[17:34] <enyc> Nokaji: windows updates can sometimes mess up grub / linux bootablinigy and have to fix linux boot clone
[17:34] <Nokaji> it's a dell lappy, the claim i can recover & reinstall online (maybe why they don't provide the install discs) somehow but I'd rather take precautions
[17:34] <enyc> Nokaji: also in any case, just all te rebooting...   Getting windows inside VirtualBox is often a good plan........
[17:34] <enyc> Nokaji: very sensible
[17:35] <Nokaji> my last machine was dual boot, I spent most time in ubuntu, only booting to WIN was a pain for me
[17:35] <enyc> Nokaji: whereas if you have the RAM and disk space in linux ho support,  youcna make a new mindows install niside virtualbox....
[17:36] <enyc> Nokaji: then have both OS running at once as useful, work to set up but good ad worthwiheli n end, ime
[17:36] <Nokaji> that's sounds a better idea, I so rarely use WIN, I'd rather do that your way
[17:37] <enyc> Nokaji: however you have to do something to associate your windows licenes with m$ account
[17:37] <Nokaji> I'm gonna upgrade ram form 8 to whatever it will take
[17:37] <enyc> Nokaji: so you can then re-instate it later
[17:38] <Nokaji> I see, thanks for all that @enyc - I'll bide my time and look into the possibiities
[17:39] <enyc> Nokaji: in ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the packages (TAKE NOTE:)  virtualbox-qt virtualbox-ext-pack virtualbox-guest-additions-iso   [NB ext-pack nonfree, personal use licens, very useful nonetheless...]  worth installing.  NB: "sudo adduser USERNAME vboxusers"   ... important  then you can (after next reboot) use virtualbox with usb passthrough and so-on...
[17:39] <enyc> Nokaji: a bit to get used to but worthwhile in the end
[17:40] <enyc> Nokaji: then, windows can be 'snapshotted' and backed-up just as files and so-on.......
[17:42] <Nokaji> okay ... appreciate the specifics, I've copied it all down ... I guess it pays to get this right bcz it will be for a long time, I'll have to hold my paitence a while :)
[17:43] <enyc> Nokaji: not sure if this is best instructions but....
[17:43] <enyc> Nokaji: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-transfer-windows-10-license-new-computer-or-hard-drive
[17:43] <enyc> in short you could get to point win10 'changed' from real install to virtualbox inside ubuntu
[17:44] <enyc> not good for gaming inside, not all 3d accell works  but generally you can do well to virtualize windows inside linux
[17:44] <enyc> virt-manager and vmware and other options can do well,  but virtualbox is often a good start portable and exportable to other virtualizers
[17:45] <enyc> need enough disk space and RAM to make it go nicely
[17:45] <enyc> can use 'shared folders' to share user data with VM
[17:45] <enyc> anyhow =) long story =)
[17:45] <enyc> join #vbox if you want to discuss that more specifically, this is ubuntu channel
[17:47] <coolfree> hi
[17:50] <coolfree> I m trying to mount a harddrive usb to ubuntu and it doesnt work ...https://pastebin.com/BYQnY6Xe
[17:55] <kraiskil> coolfree, usually there are partitions on disks -> would mounting /dev/sdb1 work better?
[17:57] <Draegon> For some reason, I can't get a script to auto run at login. I've set a file with the commands in, given it chmod +x, and called the file from Startup Applications. The script just doesn't seem to run. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 with Cinnamonn DE.
[17:58] <crose> had the same kind of issue; "fixed" it by adding a short sleep; I guess the proper fix would be to turn the script as a systemd service
[18:09] <Draegon> I've added a Gist with the information on the run script at login, which doesn't do anything - https://gist.github.com/CelticDraegon/97809a3f212e6b1d8a8d36f6de45fc25
[18:11] <oerheks> no gist there, 404
[18:12] <jeremy31> oerheks: I can see it
[18:13] <oerheks> oke, i still don't
[18:13] <jeremy31> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Sb33wMzbYD/
[18:14] <oerheks> is ~/bin/mytablet.sh  folder in your path?
[18:15] <Draegon> sorry, I accidently deleted the wrong gist
[18:15] <Draegon> https://gist.github.com/CelticDraegon/56e0cb9848b5ab084c9c68330374b7ff
[18:15] <Draegon> path ?
[18:18] <Nokaji> @enyc, excellent, that looks extremely useful - should save me a lot of pain ... I have some games but don't go anywhere near them for yrs, even with my super sound system ... not sure I even need a main desktop at this stage as the lappy connects direct to my AVR & spkrrs & bigger monitor, plus full size k/b & mouse
[18:19] <oerheks> i read the same issue in 2018 https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2018/05/19/%23ubuntu.html
[18:20] <Draegon> I had that working, right up until my computer died a couple weeks ago. Had to get a new hard drive, lost a lot of files.
[18:21] <Draegon> Upgraded to 18.04 instead of 16.04, and the main driver for the tablet works, it's just the running at login wont

[18:22] <oerheks> i found in 2018: Draegon	I created .xsessionrc file, located in ~/ and all the commands work, except for "xsetwacom set "UC-LOIC TABLET 1060 Pen stylus" MapToOutput DVI-I-1".
[18:23] <oerheks> so, i guess ~/bin/ is not in your %PATH%
[18:53] <Draegon> I initially set a path, but am not sure if it's correct. I tried reading up on a couple guides, but the referred to multiple different places, and multiple different ways to set the path  - https://gist.github.com/CelticDraegon/50026d2423100f1729c52a3d844e3064
[18:56] <oerheks> i would use PATH="$HOME/bin"  where $HOME is your /home/~~MYNAME~~/
[19:31] <Draegon> well, that was fun. I got logged out, and the account was unaccessible LUL

[23:38] <KittyTrouble> After talking with cox reps last night I decided the static IP wasnt worth it and decided to go with no-ip service instead
[23:39] <KittyTrouble> One person thought I might need 2 static IPs to get it working, but all around their support wasnt that knowledgeable about it
