[00:00] sarnold, oh you mean because i wrote .Xsession with a capital X ? [00:00] yes [00:00] ok let me check if it have it in capitals in my directory [00:02] sarnold, nah, i had it in small letters unfortunately [00:02] :( [01:27] I have a linux machine with no GUI and need to set it to connect to a local wifi network. In the past I edited /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to add the device. That file no longer seems to exist. What file doI need now. Ubuntu 20.04 [01:29] jpmh: Does https://blog.ubuntu.com/2017/12/01/ubuntu-bionic-netplan help ? [01:33] Bash. He there :) [01:33] Bashing-om: TY - looking at that reference now - ty [01:33] I get mailed. [01:36] Bashing-om: so,I looked on my laptop, which I did configure using the gui forthe old file and any of the new ones referecedin that document and see none of them [01:39] Bashing-om: I even did: find / -name \*yaml |grep netplan - to see iif it was somewhere else - now I have no idea how my laptop connects either [01:43] jpmh: what shows as the renderer from ' /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml ' ? [01:44] Bashing-om: NetworkManager [01:45] jpmh: Oh boy - with no GUI you need to switch to networkd. [01:46] you can drive things with nmcli [01:46] it's more work [01:46] but it might be less trouble than switching to networkd, depending upon how much of your networkmanager does correctly already [01:48] Bashing-om: on my laptop, which IS connected, there is a file: 01-network-manager-all.yaml in 01-network-manager-all.yaml but it has NO info on my connection, I was hoping to copy that [01:48] the netplan yaml to start up nm is basically the same two or three lines for everybody [01:49] jpmh: I would suggest that you let systemd do it. Maybe like: https://www.configserverfirewall.com/ubuntu-linux/ubuntu-network-manager/ <- Disable Network Manager and enable systemd-networkd // But sarnold's advise is also good. [01:49] sarnold: if that was addressed to me, so, where is the actual info on my connections kept. That file is the same on the laptop and the machine I want to use [01:50] jpmh: check /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ [01:51] Bashing-om: I do see that you two agree, what I don't get, is there must be a file somewhere with the info otherwise I would not be connected through my laptop [01:51] jpmh: Be aware that " 01-network-manager-all.yaml" is for network-manger. A different file is sought for networkd. [01:52] sarnold: That seems to be it - there is a file in there for evey network I have conneted to and it seems to contain in each file all that would be needed - I'm about to copy to the on-gui machine [01:52] jpmh: systemd-networkd, and config's under /etc/systemd/network/ . [01:54] by on-gui I mean non-gui [01:55] no worries, most of the time typos on irc can be ignored :) [01:56] jpmh: netplan is a configuration generator, for either NetworkManager, or systemd-networkd the idea is to create a config in /etc/netplan that is then applied automatically to whichever service manages network connections [01:59] guys, thanks for the heklp.I copied the file and all works - TY so much [02:00] woot [02:00] Is there an apt* command (or some other command) that acts like grep, but it searches the files inside all packages, not just ones you have installed? [02:01] Rakko: apt-file can search the filenames [02:01] Rakko: debian hosts a code search tool that you can use; it only indexes debian stuff, but it's really useful https://codesearch.debian.net/ [02:01] oh, nice. That's probably good enough for me. [02:01] thanks [02:12] hi [02:40] https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#8-write-warnings <== these instructions do not work. you must select "write in DD mode" [02:41] the installer failed to find the iso image after booting if you choose "write in ISO mode", and the installer also fails to run the live image if you let it attempt to netboot. lol. [02:43] mybalzitch: please scroll down on said page to where it says "Suggest changes" [02:43] that's where your findings should go - here they'll just be lost in the void [02:46] can I use the ubuntu server ISO to install a bootable system to a usb stick plugged in the same system? [02:47] tomreyn: I'm on IRC. I'm not signing up for some discus account to report the issue when the maintainers for said documentation likely idle here, or someone else has an account. [02:47] Linkandzelda: yes [02:49] tomreyn: great, thanks. gonna put my OS on a usb plugged to my server's motherboard and free up a sata port [02:50] mybalzitch: it uses ubuntu sso, so if you already have an account there then you wont need to create another. [02:50] nope. [02:51] and the other thing just won't happen, so it'll go to /dev/null [02:52] mybalzitch: i would as well recommend you to use that becuause again reality is IRC is basicly /dev/null [02:52] Linkandzelda: maybe use an ssd ther,e though, standard flash drives are just not durable enough [02:53] that's great for an official support channel [02:53] mybalzitch: and those instructions work i used rufus maybe a week ago without having to write in DD mode [02:54] not on my asus board [02:54] the installer boots, but it can't find the image to mount [02:54] reboot and write with dd mode, works fine [02:54] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [02:54] wierd [02:55] on both my HP laptop and asrock MB based desktop i did not have to select Write in DD mode [02:56] and installer worked just fine, it booted went into Ubiquity and installed everything [02:56] I've never had write in ISO mode work for any flash drive I've tried [02:57] wierd [02:57] and the installer/initramfs offered to download an ISO. it grabbed network config, downloaded it, said it was gonna do stuff, then just dropped me to the initramfs prompt [02:57] only time ever i had to do it was with completly different distribution one time and that was it, ubuntu has never required that from me [02:59] mybalzitch: this is not the primary (commercial) support channel vanonical provides, if that's what you assumed. this channel is mostly (read: almost exclusively actively) used by volunteers, such as yourself. [02:59] *Canonical [03:00] mybalzitch: i would say that there is something wrong with your system if that is a requirement [03:00] bigpod: I've had it with multiple computers and multiple flash drives, but please go on [03:01] mybalzitch: now that changes things but still not actualy sure because i have never had to use dd mode so yea [03:02] tomreyn: as far a si understand its ment for basicly asking questions aka ephemeral stuff [03:02] also, this happens at a point where the board has picked up the usb drive, booted grub from the drive, and loaded part of the installer [03:03] then the installer is unable to find the OS image in a format it likes to continue the installation process [03:05] bigpod: yes, *support* channel. i'm just saying don't expect the developers to wait for you to ask your questions and seek an answer for you, or to update docs based on what you type here. (i know you dodn't suggest that's the case.) [03:07] lol [03:08] mybalzitch: to me that sounds like either HW issue or file validity issue sorry [03:09] because from my experiance if DD mode is required you dont get into boot of OS at all you will at best get to grub and even that is a tall order sometimes [03:12] but it is true that DD mode writes the files in a different way then ISO mode but i still dont know how that would affect anything becasue as far as i understand ubuntu ISOs are designed in a way so they can be written in ISO mode [03:13] Yes, they are hybrid images === genii is now known as genii-core === sami_ is now known as Samian [05:15] how can i configure certain applications to always run in preset workspaces ? [06:26] so, I changed my DE to KDE [06:28] and I can't figure out how to change ctrl+alt+T to terminator [06:31] oh my god - i am going insane over these keyboard configurations [06:32] alright so i have managed to get xmodmap to load my ~/.xmodmap file but now after some time IT REVERTED back to the default settings - what might have caused this and how can i stop it from happening ? [06:36] thyriaen: what keyboard configurations? [06:37] may be related but I have a custom keyboard layout written in "us", and it gets overwritten every time I update my OS [06:37] ILoveAndrewLee, i have a few remaps in my ~/.Xmodmap file which i load on startup [06:39] thyriaen: Ever thought of just `sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us` [06:40] This way, your keyboard remaps also work under root [06:40] ILoveAndrewLee, i have thought of it, yes i didnt want to change a system file because, as you are describing once i update it it gets overwritten [06:41] thyriaen: It happens once every 6 months, or 2 years if you are doing lts. I then just save my US file in a repo, and load it from there [06:41] ILoveAndrewLee, maybe i can make a copy of us and put my changes in and call it /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/thyriaen ? [06:41] ILoveAndrewLee, it only screws it up if you do a dist-upgrade ? [06:42] thyriaen: Well you should DEFINITELY back up US before editting it, and definitely make a way for you to be able to restore it, because if you f up your US file, your keyboard will stop working [06:42] thyriaen: Right, only if you do a dist-upgrade [06:43] thyriaen: I've done enough mucking around on my us file, that I had to devise an effort to `cp` the backup file with my mouse and middle click. [06:44] ILoveAndrewLee, i am using the uk layout however this is my output of the symbols directory [06:45] https://termbin.com/hib2 [06:45] what to do you think might be the correct layout ? [06:45] I'm guessing its us, [06:46] but i dont use us [06:46] im guessing it might be pc [06:46] thyriaen: The files borrow from each other. I use Canadian and have used french, but the edits I made to colemak ( found in us ) work none the less [06:47] T_T [06:47] why are keyboard layouts so confusing [06:47] thyriaen: don't get me started. [06:48] thyriaen: Anyways, what sort of remaps are we talking about? For what its worth, I have an 8 layer programmer's layout [06:49] Take a look here. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Lt4snw9l/image.png [06:49] not that much i am just starting out editing the layout and since everything i touch is just one huge pain to even get it load [06:49] i dont want to extend it before i can get it running [06:49] What I do to achieve this, ( Its technically the wrong way but the right way is confusing and cumbersome ) is that I just overwrite the "Colemak" layout with what I want [06:50] thyriaen: I did create a spreadsheet that will generate the code for you if you are interested. [06:50] one sec. It makes things vastly more simple [06:50] that would be awesome [06:51] i just want to get things done before my uhk gets here [06:51] and i get leave all that software stuff behind [06:51] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19paGH1cmvnzNiCFA39nmm9afTIfgCIrt8NUOLpyqM3k/edit?usp=sharing [06:51] Go there. Make a copy [06:52] thanks but that might be overkill :p [06:53] hi. I updated my Ubuntu 20.04.2 server a while back and rebooted today. I use sshfs to mount drives, but now when i umount them on my desktop it puts the server to sleep! What's happening? [06:53] i have systemd logs [06:53] can i make space an modifier such that space+q is F2 ? [06:54] thyriaen: totally fine. I wrote a tutorial for it here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/510024/what-are-the-steps-needed-to-create-new-keyboard-layout-on-ubuntu [06:54] thyriaen: Yes you can. [06:54] is that tutorial for your spreadsheet ? [06:55] thyriaen: yes. At the bottom, `Quick and dirty solution`, that details out how to use the spreadsheet [06:55] alright [06:55] thanks a lot [06:55] The rest is some basic understanding [06:55] i will inhale that and see if that fixes my stuff [06:55] thyriaen: Do you still want your space to act as a space? [06:57] ILoveAndrewLee, no [06:57] thyriaen: If you look at my layout, I have switched the key with a modifier. For a time, I also wanted it to also function as a key as well, that would return if I ... oh [06:57] :p [06:57] Interesting layout then you got there. What is your idea of making the space a modifier? [06:58] oh its not going to be my default layout - currently i am only editing my normal layout to include german letters and the euro sign, switch : and ; around, put capslock as esc and so on [06:59] capslock as esc? Must be for vim or something. [06:59] but once i have figured it all out i wanna make a 2nd starcraft brood war layout where space + q w e are my camera hotkeys [06:59] so the space thing is just for sc:bw - not for my usual layout [07:00] makara, are you mounting them on an ubuntu client? [07:00] If I can offer a suggestion, I access my alt keys with left and right alt. [07:00] ducasse: yes [07:00] makara, why not use nfs? [07:00] ILoveAndrewLee, partly for vim, but partly in preperation of my UHK keyboard which does not have an esc key - so might aswell get used to it right now [07:01] thyriaen: In order to make the right alt comfortable, I shifted over the right hand by one row. This also had the added benefit of making they keyboard symmetrical and more comfortable. [07:01] ducasse: i don't know/can't remember. Is it secure? Is there a tutorial for that? [07:01] thyriaen: uhk keyboard ... I got to look that up [07:02] thyriaen: Ah. And Ew. They didn't fix they symmetry! [07:02] ILoveAndrewLee, it uses this layout: https://cutt.ly/VnOEobZ [07:02] Still cool though. [07:02] makara, it has client-based security, so if the server allows you root access local root is root. very simple to set up, fast, much faster than sshfs [07:03] ILoveAndrewLee, it also does all the key remapping on the hw side [07:03] thyriaen: Now that is cool [07:04] thyriaen: Are you still going with Qwerty? Or are you going to do Dvorak, Colemak, or Workman? [07:04] ILoveAndrewLee, so in preperation to that layout i want to change my stuff to be closer to it to make the transition easier [07:04] makara, they are on the same network? [07:06] i have never looked at dvorak or anything apart from qwerty - i recently moved from qwertz layout to qwerty and started using 10 finger typing, got into vim and everything falls together now which is a good point of breaking bad habbits - before i was kinda a floating 6 finger typist just freestyling it [07:06] thyriaen: ah I see the layout now. There are a lot of things I like about that layout. For one, the right alt is much more accessible to the right thumb. That should be your modifier key. [07:07] ILoveAndrewLee, yea, i don't know what keys to have which modifiers on it [07:07] thyriaen: I did give a 2 hour presentation on this at my LUG if you are interested, but the short version is that you are extremely smart for investing the time to do this. [07:07] ILoveAndrewLee, i definitely want to have multiple layers with different stuff [07:07] thyriaen: Have you just learned VIM? [07:08] im getting started on it - not much more than hjkl, e a A :wq yet [07:08] thyriaen: Well the 8 layer layout is your best bet. Took me a while to figure out how to do that [07:09] ducasse: yes [07:09] yesterday i started a haskell tutorial and i want to do it with vim - so learn haskell, new layout, new typing technique and vim in one go [07:10] ducasse: i'll definitely have a look, but at the moment I can't have that server going to sleep all the time. It just did it again, without disconnecting sshfs [07:10] it think its best to throw out everything you know at the same time so your brain can concentrate on new stuff and don't fall into old patterns [07:10] thyriaen: okay that is good because the way I learned vim, is having to remap everything out for colemak. Its best to do that when you are fresh [07:10] so im trying https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/25151/47987 [07:10] thyriaen: EXACTLY! [07:10] ILoveAndrewLee, what are the benefits of not using qwerty ? [07:11] thyriaen: Comfort, and typing speed are the main ones. For example, if you were to compare typing a novel like war and peace on Colemak vs Qwerty, [07:11] your fingers would travel like 3 miles less, and 50% less overall compared to qwerty. [07:12] It prevents carpel tunnel syndrome, which I had bad under qwerty, where I had to literally rest from typing. [07:13] ILoveAndrewLee, while i do love stuff like that - my main concern is that it will give me an obstacle in the world to have a different layout - when i am at a different computer, typing on a friends laptop, id assume its quite awkward [07:13] thyriaen: Those are the main ones. After that, my most important changes to they keyboard was to first make a Programmer's layout. [07:13] thyriaen: Yeah, that will be pretty much impossible to deal with. [07:14] ILoveAndrewLee, i grew up with qwertz ( german layout ) and my main reason to switch to qwerty was to be more compatible with the world, for example when connecting to a server via ssh or just in general being on a pc in the university [07:14] I have my own laptop, a thinkpad though, so it is almost never an issue. Sometimes it is though, but I don't think its worth the health of your fingers. [07:15] thyriaen: Well the fact that you will have a hardware based keyboard, solves that issue for you. [07:15] Frankly, I would have gotten one if I knew that existed. [07:16] ILoveAndrewLee, yea maybe - maybe you will get your UHK :p [07:16] it also splits for ergonomic stuff [07:16] thyriaen: That is huge too. Qwerty is horribly unsymmetrical. [07:17] ILoveAndrewLee, what kind of thinkpad you got ? I have my X1 Carbon 2017 and thinking about getting a T14s Gen2 AMD [07:17] Even wads is a travesty, because it is oriented in the worst possible way for comfort for gaming. [07:18] thyriaen: I got a ton, but I got an x290 silver yoga right now. That carbon is a beautiful machine [07:18] ILoveAndrewLee, i am thinking about going esdf when i pick up another shooter :p [07:18] thyriaen: You just got the best taste in everything, lol. [07:18] makara, check the logs [07:18] ILoveAndrewLee, probably the thing i love the most about myself, my taste [07:19] thyriaen: interesting. Ive shifted over to the right hand for arrows. Incidentally, i also remapped the arrow keys to alt kl;o [07:19] ILoveAndrewLee, right and for arrows and left hand for mouse ? are you left handed ? [07:19] or jikl. So you hold alt, and you have access to arrows. Great for document editting. And its synonymous with vim. [07:20] thyriaen: oof I didnt think about the mouse. I play mostly rpgs... [07:20] ILoveAndrewLee, i plan to have some kind of uhk modifier map the actual arrow keys to modifier+hjkl [07:21] cause some applications dont have hjkl support baked in [07:21] thyriaen: I did try sdfr. Not baaaaad but still not ideal. [07:21] do you know superhuman ? :p [07:21] superhuman? [07:21] ILoveAndrewLee, yea, the email client [07:21] thyriaen: You mean I can dispense with thunderbird? lol [07:22] * BobbyJr ears perked up [07:22] theres finally a Thunderbird rival that actually works? [07:22] ^ [07:22] ILoveAndrewLee, email clients are so awful tbh [07:23] i absolutely love superhuman [07:23] yes. Something about thunderbird... I'll check it out. [07:23] thyriaen: Have you heard of QuteBrowser? [07:23] everything is keyboard driven made for vim shortcuts [07:23] i have not [07:23] WOAH IM SOLD! [07:23] LETS GO! VIM BASED EMAIL [07:24] thyriaen: Qutebrowser is a vim based browser. I've used it for almost a year now. Its based. [07:24] Love it. [07:24] ILoveAndrewLee, how is the rendering engine ? [07:24] thyriaen: I'm also right now learning and working on sc-im, which is a spreadsheet terminal app with vim bindings. [07:24] i have found everything which is not chromium or firefox based to be unusable in the current web [07:25] thyriaen: I'd say its excellent. It uses QtWebEngine, which is based on Chrome [07:25] you mean i can get rid of freakin libre fkn calc ? [07:25] hahah, maybe... I like it so far, and the developer is active so I've been chasing down bugs with him. [07:26] ILoveAndrewLee, let me know if you need a superhuman invite [07:27] thyriaen: If you are just getting into coding, I also suggest checking out QtCreator. Qt is the best way to do C++ imo, and the IDE is great for almost all languages. It also has vim built in [07:27] I always end up going back to FF everytime I try a different browser. That said, I like MS Edge. Its a better Chrome than Chrome. [07:27] ILoveAndrewLee, i wouldnt say im getting into coding - i use the intellij suite so clion for c++ [07:28] BobbyJr: I find FF unusable now, after I got used to qutebrowser. Its like trying to use a normal text editor when you know vim. [07:28] thyriaen: Interesting. System Admin then? I always assume someone using vim is doing one of those two things, to be a programmer or to be a sysadmin [07:30] ILoveAndrewLee, I am doing my masters in theoretical computer science, mostly writing lots of latex - but i am also self employed general IT Guy, general interest in linux and doing things the open source, and proper way - so i do my invoices in latex for example [07:31] thyriaen: Oooff latex. [07:31] I tried writing a parser for latex; it was not fun. haha. [07:31] ILoveAndrewLee, i absolutely love latex [07:31] thyriaen: Is there a vim based latex editor that supports active previews? [07:32] i do my presentations in it - was able to completely replace word and powerpoint havent touched that shit in 5 years [07:32] ILoveAndrewLee, there is - i did all my previous projects in sublime text but probably going to configure and move over to vim this month [07:33] I would do the same, and guys like luke smith really proved out the concept of how superior it is, but I have not found a good editor. [07:33] sublime text with latexing package is what i used [07:33] Sublime... mmmmm Hard pass [07:33] i wrote my bachelor thesis in it [07:34] thats epic. [07:34] What was your thesis on? [07:34] ILoveAndrewLee, you don't like sublime ? [07:35] thyriaen: Call it irrational, but I really don't trust javascript based editors. [07:35] ducasse: i have the logs. I don't know what's wrong though [07:35] algorithmics and complexity of paths with neighbourhood constraints in graphs [07:35] Also, I am super happy with QtCreator, that I just use that instead. [07:35] ILoveAndrewLee, it isnt javascript based, is it ? [07:36] its written in c++ i think you are mixing it up with atom, which is pure aweful [07:36] thyriaen: Is it? Its cross platform from what I am just reading, with a python api, which Python is the worst. [07:37] * ILoveAndrewLee buttresses himself for having an unpopular opinion [07:37] makara, is there no indication why it went to sleep? [07:37] python and javascript is the worst, yes [07:38] thyriaen: Woah, very based. I am surprised. Most people LOVE python and celebrate it as le best beginner language. I think its the worst beginner language. [07:38] yea [07:38] it is literally the worst beginner language imaginable [07:38] thyriaen: Come hand out in #sqt and lets be friends. You are cool [07:39] sqt ? [07:39] what is that about ? [07:39] thyriaen: Its a 4channel.org/g/ general, /sqt/ which stands for "Stupid Questions Thread" [07:40] but there are no stupid questions [07:40] In other words, its basically the /g/ irc chat. [07:40] thyriaen: That sounds like a challenge. [07:40] ;p [07:47] Im the kind of heathen that takes python code and rewrites it in PowerShell. Mainly as a learning exercise to see if it can be done. Long story short, it can. Kinda. [07:54] BobbyJr: Powershell.... how what I just. What?

For example, I could take something like the rustup program, package it as a snap, and submit it - and if no one else has done that, it will be installed by anyone who types `snap install rustup`. Is this correct? [11:06] further, anyone who types `rustup` in their terminal would be adviced by the terminal to install my snap, right? [11:06] mort, yes, if you claimed that name, they will [11:06] correct [11:06] what are the processes in place to prevent me from uploading a rustup with malware for example? [11:06] I mean rustup is claimed already, but for a package which isn't claimed yet [11:06] thogh note that "well known package names" are usually reserved by default ... [11:07] so you would need to ask for the name explicitly [11:07] (typically packages that have a deb equivalent in the archive) [11:07] right, so rustup probably isn't reserved then [11:08] the registration page has a "dispute this name" button or so ... that you can use to talk to the store people [11:08] mort, see the snap developers page, how snaps are reviewed [11:08] https://snapcraft.io/blog/trust-and-security-in-the-snap-store [11:09] .ca [11:09] disregard [11:09] oerheks: who reviews it? volunteers? [11:09] snapcraft team, and volunteers [11:10] what specifically though would prevent me from making a snap of something like rakudobrew, include some subtle malware which is hard to catch through a quick manual review, uploading it to the snap store, and infiltrating the machines of everyone who follows apt's suggestion when they try to `apt install rakudobrew` and apt tells them "try snap [11:10] install rakudobrew" [11:11] the builtin snap confinement would prevent you from doing that [11:11] all you could infiltrate is the snap sandbox [11:11] not the host [11:11] not really, this would be a kind of snap which it would make sense to use classic confinement with [11:11] classic gets a full manual review [11:11] apt would tell people, "do snap install rakudobrew", snap would tell people "do snap install --classic rakudobrew", people would do that and I would get their cryptocurrency wallets [11:11] so your malware would likely be found [11:12] I wonder how thorough those reviews are [11:12] classic snaps undergo a very slow, longwinded approval process [11:12] (of several weeks usually) [11:12] do you upload binaries or source code + build script [11:12] you might want to reask in the snappy channel [11:12] to the snap store [11:12] you upload a binary snap [11:12] yeah, lets take this to #snappy [11:13] right === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [11:46] Wi-Fi connection often falls off. help please set up.

Is there a way to rearrange the drives? On some machines, the OS drive is sda and on some others is sdy [12:46] fstab only has uuid references so even if the os drive changes from sdy to sda, the os would still boot fine [12:46] when does " the os drive changes from sdy to sda" ??? [12:47] never heard of such behaviour [12:48] well, I want to induce such behavior [12:48] there is none. [12:48] how can I? [12:50] ExeciN: whats your endgoal exactly with this? [12:52] put the os drive as sda, the "cache" drive as sdb and the rest 24 drives as whatever, repeat for all 5 machines, configure said 5 machines using identical commands [12:54] is there an existing PXE server I can use to install ubuntu server? [12:54] first drive is always sda, so when does it change to sdy ? [12:55] oerheks: I'm not exactly sure what you mean with "first drive" but in any case, I want to change sdy to sda [12:55] MrMobius, no, but you can easily setup one yourself? [12:56]
