=== genii is now known as genii-core [00:09] I live in an apartment complex with many wifi broadcasted SSIDs. [00:10] I find that ubuntu takes up to several minutes to find my wifi SSID and finally connect. [00:10] is there a command to speed up it's searching, or to reset the wifi search process? [00:15] hey cluelessperson :) I've heard good things about iwd, but never tried it myself. it might wind up replacing more than you want, or less than you want, etc. [00:16] I don't really think I want a system replacemtn [00:16] cluelessperson: this is a few months old now, but might provide some background https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-testing-improved-wifi-via-iwd/17795 [00:16] I was talking to an Aussie that said it was lacking in a specific useful way, but alas I can't remember which.

Sc-im is a spreadsheet with vim bindings [01:40] When I do make, it fails on, `/home/anon/Programming/sc-im/src/trigger.c:222: undefined reference to `doLuaTrigger_cell' ` [01:41] as far as I can tell though, a grep shows that the function is defined in `src/lua.c:void doLuaTrigger_cell(struct ent *p, int flags) {` [01:45] hah, cool, someone's updating sc :D [01:48] Acts10-13: try sudo apt install liblua5.1-0 liblua5.1-0-dev --- and then try again [02:48] Is there any way to get the extra buttons on my mouse working? On Windows, I can use these little ones near my thumb to go back and forward in Firefox. [02:50] i'm on 20.10, by the way. i found an old how-to, but it didn't work. [02:50] signofzeta: 'piper' is packaged, some folks have reported success with it when the buttons don't just work https://github.com/libratbag/piper/ [02:50] ooo, thanks! let me try it. [02:52] my mouse isn't supported by libratbag. it's similar to a supported one, though. let me see what i can do [03:09] well, this mouse is actually a mouse *and* a keyboard. confusing! https://github.com/kreijack/logitech-m560 [03:13] signofzeta: oh *weird* [03:13] signofzeta: I wondered what they did to make it not just work.. [03:16] I've got one of these and it just worked, no effort required https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ergonomic-Optical-Vertical-Buttons/dp/B00FPAVUHC [03:19] I used to have the wireless version of that one. it was great, until the dongle broke. turns out the manufacturer had no spare dongles. [03:24] I'm running into issues with an external WiFi adapter that runs fine on Windows, but continuously drops on Ubuntu (20.04). Ralink USB RT5370. [03:24] sarnold: I did find this -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto -- but it doesn't seem to work on Wayland. oh well. [03:25] It'll connect for a bit, then I get a ? over the WLAN symbol in the upper right and the connection drops. [03:26] LittleBoy: are you using WPA2/WPA3 Mixed Mode on your router? i had a similar issue, but fixed it with a firmware update on the router. [03:28] i am so confused with the startup files - mine never seem to get loaded - isn't .Xsession the proper file to put stuff that gets loaded after signin when gnome is loaded ? [03:28] I'm having issues with startup files too...I created a systemd service and it never runs [03:29] LittleBoy, did you install drivers? [03:29] if I check the status after booting up it says: Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/restore-iptables-rules.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) [03:29] Active: inactive (dead) [03:29] naplifye: I thought that I did? Any way that I can confirm they're the proper ones? [03:30] LittleBoy, if you have downloaded from here: https://www.mediatek.com/products/broadbandWifi/rt5370 then you are are. [03:31] did you download from there? [03:31] naplifye: Thank you, I'll check that out now. I did not download anything from there that I can recall, no.

Is there an advantage to me to use something newer than 20.04 ? One that is pretty stable. [04:44] 20.04.2 is the most recent LTS (Long Term Support) release [04:44] I am using hexchat and it does NOT give me notifications on my nick. Anything better? It does not highlingh my nick either. [04:44] No real advantage unless you need some bleeding edge feature [04:45] what are those features [04:45] go to Chatting -> Alerts -> Highlighted Messages and put your nickname in as "Extra words to highlight" [04:46] Hexchat does have plugins [04:47] hparadiz, I did but my nick should already be highlighted. Would you please use my nick. [04:47] morgans [04:47] I am getting colored user names though that is not checked [04:47] it is the same color as your nick, not a highlight color [04:48] morgans [04:48] when I say it no highlight. [04:48] yea i dunno it's not the best i agree [04:49] please use it again. i didint use commas [04:49] morgans [04:49] morgans [04:50] morgans, I think I may have figured it out... try me and I'll tell you what I did. [04:50] same story morning glory. oh well. at least I can talk. and I figured out how to get this channel by putting another channel in for padding till it registed my nick or whatever. (orig I had this and the offtopic and only got the offtopic. now I have android the offtopic channel, and this last. Works great. [04:51] thanks apb1963 [04:51] is that what you wanted [04:51] ie try by saying your nick?: [04:51] morgans, yeah... give this a try. [04:52] morgans, In Chatting>Alerts check the "channel message" box for "Show notifications" line. [04:53] kk [04:53] I'm not sure yet if it's what we want, or just notifies for any message. [04:53] And I think it's any message... so that's no good. [04:54] morgans, did you see my two previous messages? Did you get notified? Or just this one? [04:54] i turned on beeps too. yes. [04:54] I saw that one [04:54] I'm getting notified no matter whether you use my name or not. [04:54] but it quickly fades [04:55] oh me too. that's not going to work. [04:55] these irc's must be sort of abandoned [04:55] well... #hexchat is prolly a better place to talk about this. But I have one more thing to try... [04:56] morgans, type something [04:56] anybody type somethingi [04:56] sure I will. I linked andrew weil in offtopic [04:56] something [04:56] ok. So that didn't work.\ [04:56] thanks [04:57] morgans, Ask in #hexchat [04:57] I will. not tonight though. [04:59] I need to reboot. *wave* [05:00] must restart hexchat. [05:00] whats going on with apb1963? [05:00] use my nick again please [05:01] UbuntuUser2005, same as morgans [05:01] well thanks for playing. [05:01] testing morgans [05:02] new question. is there a way of looking at memory use in my two simms to see if both are active. (when I test with memtest it locks up after 1 second or less. when I test with Dell Diagnostics everything passes.) [05:05] morgans, I'm sure somebody knows better but I don't think linux has such a tool. Use something like "free" and infer from the results you get. [05:05] are you testing it using Ubuntu 20.04 image? [05:06] ((side comment: I triend to install xubuntu and it would NOT let me install it in a separate partition. It kept going back to alongside-ubuntu taking up the rest of the partition. And it coldnt not look at all the partitions, the ubuntu one etc. Oh well.)) [05:06] yes the 20.04 image [05:06] installed. [05:06] ok morgans, there is a bug in memtest86 on 20.04. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1876157. Can you try another image? [05:07] Launchpad bug 1876157 in memtest86+ (Baltix) "Memtest86+ in Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't work, switch to Coreboot branch or package new release v5.31b is available since 12/04/2020" [Medium, Triaged] [05:07] 20.04 is such a mess :/ [05:07] how do I search on the coreboot branch? [05:08] yes yes, hparadiz ... 18.04 couldnt do the wifi on my HP laptop - which I am not using atm [05:08] i have 20.04 on some servers and i'm stuck in dependency hell :/ [05:08] doreboot branch of memtest [05:08] ironically the WSL version works fine [05:09] what is the wsl version and how do I search to find it? Do I use the word memtest in the search? [05:09] WSL is windows [05:09] Windows Subsystem for Linux [05:09] (and tell this to tomreyn - that it doesnt work. He may have been the one who suggested I use it. [05:10] morgans, lsmem and chmem might be what you want. [05:10] ok. I lost my windows partition password. I want to find the crack or the workaround. I want to keep what is in the partition. but someday I will [05:11] ok I will look for tnat apb1963 [05:11] librsvg2-dev : Depends: libcairo2-dev (>= 1.2.0) << there is no libcairo2-dev>=1.2 for 20.04 at all [05:11] morgans, I think it's installed by default [05:13] so many suggestions for memtest coreboot branch lismem chmem and what hparadiz just said. [05:13] apb1963, what is installed by default. which? [05:13] lsmem :) [05:14] and probably chmem [05:14] reading the man page. [05:16] text of advice copied [05:17] lsmem looks at available memory which I do believe means the hard drive not RAM [05:17] memtest is for RAM [05:18] morgans, hard drive is not memory. But I'm not sure this tool is what you want... it may help if you mold it, but I've never used it so... I'm just guessing. [05:18] fml i had an old repo subscribed from before 20.04 that was messing everything up [05:20] morgans, It's clear from running the tool that it's looking at RAM. To wit: lsmem -P [05:20] RANGE="0x0000000000000000-0x00000000bfffffff" SIZE="3G" STATE="online" REMOVABLE="yes" BLOCK="0-23" [05:20] RANGE="0x0000000100000000-0x000000023fffffff" SIZE="5G" STATE="online" REMOVABLE="yes" BLOCK="32-71" [05:21] But since I have two 4GB chips, I don't know why it's setup the way it is... that's why I say you may have to mold it. I can't help beyond this. I don't know the tools, I simply searched for something memory related and that's what I found. [05:21] How do I install drivers for a USB wifi dongle on Ubuntu 20.04? I have the appropriate drivers on a flash drive, but don't know where to go from there. [05:21] you need to compile the driver into the linux kernel [05:21] and then install that kernel [05:22] if it's an old driver for linux kernel 3 or 4 and you're currently using 5 you're probably screwed without knowing way too much C and kernel development info [05:22] Really rusty with nix, been years. [05:23] LittleBoy, What do your files look like? Do they end in .ko? .c? .o? [05:23] It's a Ralink RT5370, trying to install on 20.04. It will connect for a minute and it always dies. [05:23] tar.bz2 [05:23] incidently this is why my mediacenter with an obscure old RAID5 controller is on windows instead of linux [05:24] if it connects for a minute and then dies you likely have the right driver but there might be power management issues [05:24] I turned power management off, but it still does it :-/ [05:24] there's a ton of options in the linux kernel for various minor features that might be effecting you possibly [05:24] yep going to get coreboot. thanks all hparadiz apb1963 [05:25] nn [05:25] LittleBoy, That's a compressed tarball... take a peak inside. tar tvf tar.bz2 except that it's a bz2 which I think needs a -j according to the tar manpage. I never use bz2. [05:25] LittleBoy, So maybe tar -j tvf tar.bz2 [05:26] Apachez, At worst you'll get an error. [05:26] I extracted it fine, have a makefile. [05:26] oops [05:26] Apachez, ignore. Sorry [05:26] LittleBoy, Well there ya go. Config file? [05:27] Don't see any kinda config file [05:28] Paste the contents... I doubt I can help regardless but someone else will chime in eventually. [05:28] Lemme see if I can get it over to this machine to do that. [05:29] it should say in the readme what version of the kernel it's for [05:29] I"m out of my element at this point... and I need to reboot anyway. Good luck guys! [05:31] Kernel 2.4 and 2.6 series, tested in Redhat 7.3 or later. [05:31] yea that's super old [05:31] What README_STA_usb says ^^^ [05:31] the current kernel is 5 [05:32] what was the device again? [05:32] Yeah, I bought this in 2016 lol, and I think it was old then. RT5370 chipset. [05:32] Ralink RT5370 [05:32] someone made it work for kernel 4 here [05:32] https://github.com/blahah/ralink_RT5370_linux_driver [05:32] It might compile on 5 if you're really lucky [05:32] Awesome, thank you. I'll check that out now. [05:33] Would hate to have to buy a new external card. I have the machine airgapped and the antenna is on the roof lol. [05:33] btw this is why nvidia drivers need to be reinstalled anytime you upgrade your kernel :P [05:34] I mean airgapped unless the dongle is plugged in and on the roof. [05:34] you can get a wifi 6 chip with built in kernel 5.x support for like $10 these days [05:35] might save you a lot of time just doing that [05:35] Hmm, that might be the wiser thing to do at this point. Wifi is far, so I need to be able to connect antennas to it. [05:35] Any hardware recommendations? [05:36] anything with Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 will work out of the box [05:36] just search for linux kernel 5.x compatible wifi [05:36] Gonna cruise newegg for a minute. === mkv is now known as m4v [05:51] Ugh I give up for the night.

Does anyone know where it's configured? [09:00] i was 'sort of' able to work around this by doing some apt install xorg-session-input-all or soemthing, but then i have the second problem. which is intermittent connection. its as if the kb goes to sleep and then lags to come back to type, or the connectivity gets lost or something, but there is no issue in other machines [09:02] sail0r: it's a bluetooth keyboard? [09:04] its nott. it's wireless usb. but i think it still might have to do something with bt settings [09:05] sail0r: try to run in a terminal 'dmesg' and look for anything related to keyboard, it should show any errors [09:05] also 'dmesg -w' is useful to keep it running and see if it prints anything when the problem happens [09:05] sail0r: also 'rfkill list' might show if it's getting soft or hard blocked [09:06] [ 6.711060] systemd[1]: Starting Set the console keyboard layout...

[16:51] mac80211 is available on my computer, but no networks are showing up in the Ubuntu preferences.. [16:51] Settings [16:52] chack for additional drivers [16:52] *check [16:53] -_- [16:54] What is your advice for connecting Apple Mac computers running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to the Internet? [16:55] as i said... check for Additinal Drivers if Wifi doesn't show up.... [16:56] maxFlexGuest: You may have to install Broadcom drivers which involves the fwcutter process. It depends on the hardware you're using, but yeah Mekaneck is right, you basically need to check additional drivers. [16:57] How can I check for the additional (Broadcom) drivers? [16:58] Software & Updates --> Additional Drivers [16:58] I do not have any additional drivers, so how do I install the drivers (I am unable to use fwcutter)? [16:58] 9 dots on left click then software and updates click look for additional Drivers look for any driver listed and enable the driver install [16:59] I was too late [16:59] maxFlexGuest: if you know which type of card it is you can Google for it [17:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [17:01] The card is a Broadcom BCM43602. [17:01] this guide may also help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LinuxWireless [17:02] maxFlexGuest: Google on how to get it working on Ubuntu [17:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [17:02] pretty sure there are some answers out there [17:03] maxFlexGuest: Device-1: Broadcom BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC driver: brcmfmac [17:04] mesaboogie: fwiw, When I boot Ubuntu here with the same exact wireless chipset it loads automatically without installing additional drivers. [17:04] maxFlexGuest: ^^^ [17:05] gotta love Apple.... [17:06] maxFlexGuest: I think that one need bcmwl-kernel-source [17:07] Does that require a full install (and not just a minimal installation)? [17:08] broadcom did not opensource their wifi drivers so they could not be included as part of the default install [17:08] minimal or full doesn't matter maxFlexGuest [17:12] bcmXXX models sometimes worked better with community drivers on linux so depending on your model BCM43602 there are several step outlined in the last guide I posted [17:14] or cheat and plug in a cheap usb/pci wifi that is not broadcom [17:22] whoami [17:22] hi there [17:22] is anyone here from Spain? [17:23] !es | IvanSpain [17:23] IvanSpain: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [17:23] thanx === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [17:35] hi [17:36] just upgraded to 21.04 and deluge is segfaulting [17:36] anyone else seen this? === jos- is now known as jose [17:37] since recently my steam doesnt work anymore... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hPRx9rmB3Y/ [17:37] does anyone knowthe difference between the ORM kernel and the generic-HWE when it comes to support of video/graphic propietary drivers [17:37] ? [17:38] is the ORM better than the HWE in that respect? [17:38] i meant OEM [17:39] IvanSpain: What is the issue? [17:39] sudo apt install eclipse; says "no installation candidate". It looks like snap is the "normal" way to install eclipse on Ubuntu? [17:40] Can I install it with apt or apt-get? === m0nkey__ is now known as m0nkey_ [17:43] lmat: theres a snap package for it.. no debian package [17:44] try sudo snap install --classic eclipse [17:44] lmat: https://packages.ubuntu.com/ -> yes, looks as there is only a snap package. [17:45] thetoa: did you try wayland vs xorg? [17:45] lmat: And BTW, please don't end normal sentences with a question mark ;-) [17:46] I'm running it in vnc, so doubt it has to do with wayland [17:47] lotuspsychje, I think ending a normal sentence in a ? is a way to indicate that they are unsure. i.e. they are making a statement they are unsure about, so its like "is this statement true" [17:47] apparently running deluge under strace makes it not crash for me :/ === Poster` is now known as Poster === meyou_ is now known as meyou [18:01] i feel like the last nvidia-460 broke my steam... anyone having ubuntu 21.04 with latest nvidia-460 running? === xavierdarkness is now known as Xavierdarkness [18:48] TheBigK: No debian package for eclipse? How can it be? [18:48] holgersson: "don't end normal sentences with aquestion mark" Not many are more fastidious about grammar than me. Touche ;-) [18:49] latest stable and edge https://snapcraft.io/eclipse [18:51] apt-get install postman; says "no apt package postman"? (that one was for holgersson) [18:52] oerheks: Thank you. [18:53] i think postman is only available as snap or ppa https://launchpad.net/~tiagohillebrandt/+archive/ubuntu/postman [18:53] oerheks: These are pretty popular projects; why is Debian not packaging them? Are they trying to get out of the packaging business? :-D [18:54] not sure why, if there is a huge demand, there will be a team. [18:55] chromium is such project, developers run away [18:55] and packagers* [18:56] I am unable to compile bcmwl-kernel-source into Linux kernel 5.8 on Ubuntu “Focal Fossa” for reasons possibly relating to HWE. What should I do? [18:59] I have tried installing Linux kernel 5.6, so do I need to boot to that Linux kernel instead (I may actually be running 20.04.2, so no Linux 5.4 kernel)? [19:18] question. i want to make a usb bootable drive from the usb installer [19:19] er the cdrom [19:19] but it asks for a source ico image in ubuntu startup creator. does this mean i can't make a usb bootable image from the cdrom live environment? [19:20] typically no. but you can download an ISO in that live env and use it with the USB creator [19:20] right ok. [19:20] can i use the ubuntu live cdrom to boot an existing ubuntu install on disk? [19:21] you can actually run the installer and install a bootable ubuntu with it, on either an installed / fixed storage or removable storage such as a usb key [19:22] ubuntu startup creator is meant for creating a bootable installer, not a bootable properly installed system,though [19:23] i thought there wasn't a distinction [19:23] i want a usb drive i can use to install ubuntu and if necessary boot into a live environment to fix problems. [19:23] lmat: hehe [19:23] johnjay: what spartanturtle said applies then [19:24] i see [19:24] what about my second question. i'm trying to boot a usb install on my drive. can i do that from the live cdrom environment? [19:24] am connected to a wireless lan on wlx7c25daecb94a and a raspberry pi on enx8e7fa066f187 (using usb) - I am using dhcpcd to set them up - works pretty well. Hoevere, when I first connect to the Pi it keeps dropping. ip a shows no ip address etc and I need to kick dhcpcd . Eventually all works well and everything stays up. 1) why does it drop, 2) is there a better way to do this? [19:25] johnjay: hmm, i'm not sure i understand the purpose. maybe start from the very begining: why are you considering these options, what's the overall task you're trying to achieve or problem you're trying to solve? [19:26] i have ubuntu. ubuntu on disk. i want to boot ubuntu from disk [19:26] windows overwrites efi variables. so now i'm trying to find a way to boot ubuntu [19:26] so power up the system, it should be configured to boot the ubuntu on disk [19:26] oh ok [19:26] !grub [19:26] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [19:27] hmm that's quite old, i hope it still applies [19:27] 20.04; Something is seriously wrong in printerville... https://snipboard.io/15kYif.jpg syslog errors: https://pastebin.com/52jFSQck Printer has been hit or miss for a couple of weeks. I have exactly one printer. It keeps getting auto-added randomly under similar, but different names. It also seems to now auto-delete. It can't find new printers, but then it shows them. I pick one, it asks me for the make & model, the [19:27] model is repeated over a dozen times in the list, some identical some with variations. It's a mess. Yesterday it worked. Now it doesn't. It's all random.
