matarisrc: awesome, thank you src! i'm pretty green with python and i was in the camp of just "venv everything" so as not to mess with the python that your OS uses00:28
DavidPaiva[m]hello!00:33
coz_hello DavidPaiva[m]00:33
DavidPaiva[m]I am having issues to install ubuntu studio 21.04 plasma  on acer nitro 5. I do the installation as the usual using live cd. But at the end of the installation i get this error: he command apt install -y -no-upgrade -o Acquire::gpgc::Options=..ignore-time-conflict shim signed failed while finishing in 300 seconds. There is any output00:34
coz_DavidPaiva[m], not familiar with the error, however did you check to be sure the live iso downloaded .. md5sum ?00:37
sarnoldDavidPaiva[m]: is there anything on other virtual consoles?00:38
sarnoldDavidPaiva[m]: does it prompt you to file a bug report or something similar?00:38
coz_good question00:38
srcDavidPaiva[m]: this is the closest I found online https://sourceforge.net/p/ubuntudde/discussion/installation/thread/57eb805083/ they mention this solution working (turning off secure boot) https://sourceforge.net/p/ubuntudde/discussion/installation/thread/d4cdad35f5/ do you upgrade or fresh install? are you sure you have the _newest_ iso? download it new if not, there has been some efi secure boot issues00:39
DavidPaiva[m]how do I check it? I didn't check md5sum but I tried two different usb disks00:39
srcwith 21.04 specifically (not sure if related)00:39
DavidPaiva[m]Yeah, I am sure it's the newest. Secure boot is indeed on00:40
sarnoldI've heard that some uefi things don't let you install new boot things, some "antivirus" setting in bios or perhaps locked ot the OS they shipped for licensing reasons etc, but I don't think anyone's ever reported back "I changed <this> and now it worked" ..00:41
srcsarnold: wasn't the whole upgrade debacle around 21.04 related to shim and secure boot?00:42
DavidPaiva[m]this notebook was with a bios password00:42
sarnoldsrc: yeah, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1928434 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1925010 come to mind00:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1928434 in shim-signed (Ubuntu) "shim-signed does not boot on EFI 2.40 by Apple" [Critical, In Progress]00:43
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1925010 in shim (Ubuntu Hirsute) "shim-signed 15.4 does not boot on EFI 1.10 systems" [High, Fix Released]00:43
sarnoldnothing says these are apple-specific issues but I was guessing acer probably wasn't going to hit either of these00:44
srcDavidPaiva[m]: is turning off secure boot an option for now? at least (if it then does work) you have one more critical data point about the issue00:44
srceven if it is not a long term option for you (don't know, I personally don't care about secure boot)00:44
srcDavidPaiva[m]: another thing to consider might be using the 21.04 image for installation, not sure if there is some sort of meta package to install the studio distro spin packages at once etc?00:46
src(21.04 stock ubuntu image I mean)00:46
srcDavidPaiva[m]: I'm on 21.04 (stock ubuntu) and did a quick search https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/d2Q5MSkdm6/ so that might be an option (if that installs for you)00:49
coz_DavidPaiva[m], I believe all of the suggestions are solid, from mdsum, disable secure boot, to stock ubuntu and upgrade to studio if possible. I would be interested in knowing if any of these solved the issue.00:56
DavidPaiva[m]disabled secure bot00:56

sarnoldwell that's strange.. (a) I wonder why it's trying to remove packages at all (b) especially packages that apparently aren't even installed01:15
sarnoldit's probably worth reporting that bug to the ubuntu-studio folks01:15
coz_DavidPaiva[m], do you have alink to the iso you downloaded?01:15
Eickmeyersarnold: It *should* remove calamares, that's the installer.01:16
DavidPaiva[m]I downloaded direct from ubuntu-studio site01:16
coz_ok01:16
DavidPaiva[m]I will try to download LTS01:16
sarnoldEickmeyer: that part kinda makes sense, but zram-config? cifs-utils?01:16
Eickmeyersarnold: No idea why, it shouldn't. That's beyond the purview of Calamares. Also, we don't seed those.01:17
DavidPaiva[m]not perfect... But can be a temporary solution and it's not hard to upgrade from one to other01:17
Eickmeyersarnold: Also, the shim issue is 100% not just an Apple issue, it's been noticed in other machines as well.01:17

bandit-ledI asked about it this afternoon and tried to add the information that you mentioned01:36
sarnoldbandit-led: you might be able to change the .desktop file for okular to use > /dev/null 2>/dev/null -- I think that might work. if that just breaks it all, then it should be possible to write a script to do something similar01:38
bandit-ledsarnold, will go look ty!01:38
bandit-ledi looked but couldnt figure it out01:39
bandit-ledbrb01:39

bandit-ledcant find any information ....01:41
tomreynok. does it happen with every epub file or just this one?01:41

tomreyni tried to  identify other reports but other than the one you linked, which *may* be related, couldn't fine others, yet01:43
bandit-ledyes but could some one just open an epub and see if it causes errors?01:44
bandit-ledor possible open okular and then open an epub01:44
bandit-ledi mean open terminal okular file open .epub01:44

thyriaenubuntu, gnome301:56
bandit-ledhow do you fix it when it happens?01:56
guivercDavidPaiva[m], ^  (my last comment)01:56
thyriaenon startup i load my xmodmap file and after some time it just reverts the changed i havae made in them01:57
thyriaeni reapply my xmodmap to fix it01:57
bandit-ledlaptop going to sleep or hibernating?01:57
sarnoldthyriaen: the usual mistake is people put their xmodmap command in ~/.bashrc or something similar rather than ~/.xsession or their desktop environment's autostart01:58
thyriaennope, it just occurs randomly while it is running01:58
thyriaensarnold, i have put it in a *.desktop file and then into autostart01:58
sarnoldthyriaen: dang. I would have expected that to work well :(01:58
thyriaensarnold, it does work well01:59
thyriaenit loads it successfully, however it reverts the changes after some time01:59
sarnoldthyriaen: you could try running execsnoop-bpfcc to try to spot xmodmap being executed, but that 'just' runs some API calls that do the actualk work, other tools could make those same API calls..01:59
sarnoldthyriaen: actually finding out how to trace those actual api calls is quite a bit more work than just suggesting this, though :) heh02:00
bandit-ledi think you need to call that from xll or from your login manager02:00
bandit-ledwhat is your display manager.02:00
thyriaenuhm, the default one - i think gdm3 ?02:01
bandit-ledyes sorry i am slow tonight02:01
sarnoldjust so long as the desktop shell's autostart routines only run it when launching, that should work fine02:01

The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.

RupertEvertonI'm having an issue with gnome boxes on ubuntu 21.04 -- when i try to set up a vm i get the following error "virtualization extensions are unavailable on your system. check your bios settings to enable them". I have indeed checked my uefi settings and all related settings are enabled. "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx svm" doesn't show anything for svm12:15
RupertEvertonwhile it has a regular output for vmx12:15
WalexVMGuy23: another option is SyncThing.12:18
jimboRupertEverton Its probably disabled in your bios12:21
WalexRupertEverton: one if the AMD, and the other the Intel virtualization type12:21
WalexRupertEverton: it depends a lot on how you are trying to create the VMs.12:21
RupertEvertonjimbo like i said i check my uefi settings, and all virtualization-related options are enabled12:22
WalexRupertEverton: is your system itself a VM?12:22
RupertEvertonWalex: no, it's a regular install in which i'm trying to create a vm12:22
WalexRupertEverton: a regular install on which kind of hardware?12:23
RupertEvertonWalex: sorry i dont think i get your question. it's an ubuntu install on the laptop ssd -- its not a vm itself12:25
WalexRupertEverton: and how are defining the VM? Which command says ""virtualization extensions are unavailable"?12:25
TJ-RupertEverton: that pesky Dell again?12:26
WalexRupertEverton: one of my limitations is that unlike most other people on IRC I am a cripple without telepathy, so I have to be told explicitly :-)12:26
TJ-RupertEverton: what does "kvm-ok" report?12:27
RupertEvertonWalex: i'm using the gnome boxes gui, not a command - i go to select the .iso, then in the resource allocation window i get the error message12:27
RupertEvertonTJ- yes! very pesky indeed12:27
TJ-RupertEverton: this may be the solution https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/4eac0h/psa_how_i_got_vtx_working_on_my_dell_xps_9550/12:28
RupertEvertoni need to install cpu-report to run kvm-ok. one moment12:28
RupertEvertonTJ- what was the VM that you ran on my system the other time?12:28
TJ-RupertEverton: qemu/kvm12:29
RupertEvertonkvm-ok12:29
RupertEvertonINFO: /dev/kvm exists12:29
RupertEvertonKVM acceleration can be used12:29
RupertEvertoni'll try to install qemu/kvm since that worked before12:30
WalexRupertEverton: are you trying to create VMs as a non-"root" user?12:30
TJ-RupertEverton: so, it is available. The obvious issue then is that this gnome box thing doesn't have permissions to /dev/kvm12:30
TJ-RupertEverton: as Walex  has just suggested, if it is executing as your user then unless your user is a member of the 'kvm' group ("sudo adduser $USER kvm") then it won't be able to use hardware acceleration support12:31
RupertEvertonyes i was also thinking that but if i run "sudo gnome-boxes" to open the elevated gui, i no longer get the error message but i cannot customize the allocated resources. in fact, im unable to even see those settings12:33
RupertEvertoni'll try to add myself to kvm12:33
WalexRupertEverton: A quicker check is simply 'shudo chown $USER /dev/kvm'12:34
TJ-Even better is "newgrp kvm" after having joined the group12:35
WalexRupertEverton: anyhow you should read the GNOME Boxes documentation as to it acquiring permissions without running under 'sudo'12:35
WalexTJ-: 'newgrp kvm' only works for the newly created shell though, so like that 'sudo chown' is only for a test.12:36
RupertEvertonTJ- Walex ive tried "sudo adduser $USER kvm", "sudo chown $USER /dev/kvm", "newgrp kvm" -- none of them worked, i still see the same error message12:36
RupertEvertoni'll try with qemu12:37
TJ-RupertEverton: Looks like boxes is just a wrapper around QEMU/KVM https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-boxes/stable/supported-protocols.html.en12:38
TJ-RupertEverton: so basically an alternative to virt-manager we used12:39
RupertEvertonalright we're at a turning point here12:39
TJ-RupertEverton: also to check capabilites it says to do "gnome-boxes --checks"12:39
RupertEvertoni install 'qemu' and 'qemu-system-x86' (the latter was proposed instead of qumu-kvm) and i'm now able to allocate resources and the error is gone12:40
TJ-strange; I would have thought gnome-boxes would have a Depends on those12:40
jimbo$ sudo apt install dnsmasq bridge-utils libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients qemu-utils qemu-kvm virtinst virt-manager12:41
jimbo$ sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER12:41
jimbo$ sudo usermode -aG kvm $USER12:41
RupertEvertongnome-boxes check shows two errors:12:41
RupertEvertonutil-app.vala:370: Failed to execute child process ?virsh? (No such file or directory)12:41
RupertEvertonutil-app.vala:350: Failed to execute child process ?restorecon? (No such file or directory)12:41
RupertEvertonwell two warnings actually12:41
jimbo^^^12:41
TJ-RupertEverton: virsh is the 'shell' for talking to libvirtd12:41
TJ-RupertEverton: how did you install gnome-boxes? from a package in the repository?12:42
Walexindeed 'apt-cache depends gnome-boxes' seems to have the right dependencies here...12:43
RupertEvertonTJ- 'sudo apt install gnome-boxes'12:43
TJ-it has a "Recommends: qemu-system-x86" so have to wonder if it was installed with --no-install-recommends12:43
RupertEvertonactually yes12:43
RupertEvertonmightve been12:43
TJ-ahuh! :D12:43
RupertEvertoni should try to purge everything and install without the parameter12:44
WalexRupertEverton: KVM is not needed to run virtual machines12:44
WalexRupertEverton: so 'gnome-boxes' should have worked regardless.12:45
RupertEvertonwe'll find out for sure in a minute12:45
WalexRupertEverton: you probably requested to define a VM with acceleration without installing the relevant bits.12:46
WalexRupertEverton: also GNOME Boxes etc. can be used to create ARM, MIPS, etc. VMs, so it is not guaranteed that the right emulator to install is 'qemu-system-x86', so it is just a "Recommends".12:48
RupertEvertonalright so installing gnome-boxes with all recommended packages lets me allocate resources without showing errors. however gnome-boxes check still shows the two warnings -- hopefully they wont be too significant12:49
Walexhttps://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-boxes/stable/virtualization.html.en12:50
jimboIts saturday, people asking for help, then arguing with people and telling them they are wrong. i am off.12:50
TJ-RupertEverton: 'virsh' is in libvirt-clients -- not entirely clear /why/ boxes would need that rather than using the library12:50
RupertEvertonnot sure12:52
RupertEvertonnow the vm system booted without issues though so all should be resolved!12:52
RupertEvertoncheers for the help guys, very much appreciated12:52
Guest92Hello, please advise Is it possible to create zip archives (not tar.gz) with the "tar" command?13:09
gryGuest92: no, tar only does tar. For zip archives there are 'zip' and 'unzip' commands13:11
oerhekswhy, there is the zip tool to do that13:11
gryGuest92: (and xarchiver GUI probably does both)13:11
Guest92I like the rich option set that tar offers13:11
oerheksinteresting..13:12
gryGuest92: file bug reports with the zip package, then, and suggest your favourite features to be added13:12
Guest92it can create xz, gz, bzip... I thought it can do zip too13:12
grynope, unfortunately not13:13
Guest92thx!13:13
oerheksgzip is more universal than zip or tar13:13
Guest92AFAIK on Windows gzip requires additional software13:14
Guest92zip is handled natively13:14
* oerheks looks out the windows13:15
sixwheeledbeastthey are all separate programs that do similar but separate jobs.13:16
sixwheeledbeasttar is gnu, zip aint13:17
Guest92tar has an option of using a third party program, I'll look into it13:17
gryI have found gnu apps often have a long list of features. Quite advanced.13:18

xu-help23wHi guys. installed Linux x ubuntu and now the Wi-Fi is periodically turned off. Please help to subdue.15:00
Guest5any use salt for conifguration management here or is there a separate channel?15:04
wezI have never heard of salt sorry, but I am into configuration management so I might check it out15:07
Guest5thanks wez15:08
Guest5what tool do you use to achieve that?15:11
wezGuest5: puppet, chef, ansible, AWS specific tools15:15
Guest5salt is similar to this15:16
B0g4r7I hate you, systemd.15:28
wez:(15:29
EntelinB0g4r7, o ooo can I hate it with you? I really want to hate it, but I need to learn it first to be totally sure.15:33
Entelinwhy the fuck is it 1m+ lines of code and has a dns cache?'15:34
Entelinanyway...15:34
Entelinout of curiosity have there been successful cases of distro package repositorys being hacked by state actors? For example remote exploits being successfully added?15:35
Entelinnot specifically talking about ubuntu, but in general15:35
Entelinwhat about discovered cases of open source devs being paid to include vulnerablities into commonly used software that they maintain?15:37
B0g4r7The Dual EC DRBG incident is one that comes to mind.15:38
akikhttps://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/11/nsa-ask-linus-torvalds-include-backdoors-linux-father-says-yes15:39
Entelinthere was that long standing issue with rsa as well of course15:42
B0g4r7Why is it that every time I modify /etc/fstab now I'm expected to "inform" systemd by doing 'syctemctl daemon-reload'?  Why can't it figure that out by itself?15:51
EntelinB0g4r7: that's going to be true for nearly all config files. For a process to know a file is changed, it would need to be rereading that file constantly, which is ineffecient, and often undesirable16:08
EntelinB0g4r7: but come to think of it, what issue are you having? I don't really know systemd, but fstab doesn't require anything to work? mount reads that whenever you run mount?16:16
Entelinand of course restarting the system will read the fstab16:17
Entelinthis going to be a new reason not to like systemd isnt it....16:17
akikEntelin: the weird thing is that systemd grabs the info from fstab and uses it automatically with the mount units16:18
Entelinok well I could ask a bunch of questions about that, but there's no point, I haven't done any real research on systemd yet16:20
=== Guest5 is now known as rexwin
TJ-Entelin: there's a systemd generator, systemd-fstab-generator, that runs before almost anything else when systemd starts, and creates mount units for entries in /etc/fstab16:41

B0g4r7omg, systemd hosed me again.20:21
B0g4r7Two of my USB hard drives disconnected and reconnected for no apparent reason.20:21
B0g4r7Systemd decided it needed to intervene, and stopped nfs-kernel-server.20:21
thyriaenHowdy, i recently switched to be using my laptop as a desktop replacement and it is basically stationary, plugged in and running the entire day :: is there a way i can set it up such that it does not constantly charge and discharge the battery but instead leave it as is and just use the power from the plug to run it ?20:22
entulandB0g4r7, it may be a power surge20:22
B0g4r7That brought my chia harvester to a halt right at the moment when it was eligible to farm a block, and by the time I restarted nfs-kernel-server, it was too late and the 30 second window was past.20:22
B0g4r76 plots were eligible for farming 4e6745e0df... Found 1 proofs. Time: 81.55186 s.20:23
entulandall of my USB devices disconnect and reconnect every time my heating water circulation pump goes on or off (some kind of weird interference on the power lines)20:23
B0g4r7So I missed out on 2 XCH, $830 thanks to systemd.20:23
B0g4r7I hate you, systemd.20:23
B0g4r7If it had just minded its business and not intervened, those two drives could have been offline and the rest of the system would have kept moving along.20:24
cbreakusb isn't known to be reliable20:24
B0g4r7It would have been fine if systemd had minded its business.20:25
cbreakit did, obviously20:25
cbreakif it stopped nfs, then it only did that because it was configured to20:25
B0g4r7It has no business stopping nfs-kernel-server.20:25
jjbugglehow do I connect my thumbdrive so I can copy and delete files?  It is being mounted as readonly20:49
entulandsomething is off if it got mounted as readonly, jjbuggle20:54
entulandhave a look here to see if there is any useful pointer: https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-to-fix-read-only-usb-drive/20:54
entulandyour actual issue may be different20:54
entulandin particular pay attention to point 3 in that reply, as it may be the failure protection of the device20:55
jjbuggleman, this is such a pain.  I don't know the mount point21:01
entulandhow can you even tell how it's being mounted if you can't tell the mount point?21:02
entulandeven if you're on desktop you should be able to access that information21:02
Alabalisticentuland: who is the owner21:02
entulandguess the above ^ is for jjbuggle21:02
Alabalisticthere is no read only for the root21:03
entulandnot even if the device is in failure mode protection?21:03
Alabalisticyour drive must be in /media21:03
Alabalisticsudo -i21:03
Alabalisticcd /media/TAB/TAB/TAB21:04
Alabalisticuse the autocompletition til you find it21:04
jjbugglei figured out the /dev location (sorry, not mount point)  so many entries21:04
Alabalisticentuland: you are right wrong number sorry21:05
cbreakjjbuggle: lsblk shows devices, and mountpoints if they're mounted21:05
entulandnp21:05
cbreakfindmnt shows mount points in tree form21:05
cbreakmight be easier to parse by a human that way21:06
jjbuggleim using gparted at the moment.  I thought maybe the drive was toast21:06
Alabalisticfind it using lsblk and dd a copy on your Disk  as a backup if the info is important21:07
Alabalisticcan give a command if you give me the /dev/sdXXXX21:08
jjbuggleformating worked, but now it is only accessible by root21:09
jjbuggleman, this is such a pain21:09
jjbuggleI have to freaking hack my own usb drive21:09
Alabalisticdon't use a ext4 on a usb drive21:09
entulandwell, on the bright side looks like you didn't have any valuable data there21:10
Alabalisticuse some exfat or something without file ownership21:10
Alabalisticif you wanna use exfat probably you wanna install it first, not all linux have it by default21:10
cbreakuse zfs on it :D21:10
cbreakthen you'll at least notice when the drive corrupts data21:10
jjbugglethat might be the issue, etx4.  I used whatever ubuntu startup disk creator to have xubuntu 18.04 liveusb installed, and I just wanted to get rid of that.  Such a damn pain21:11
cbreak(that's useful with usb flash drives...)21:11
cbreakjjbuggle: the ubuntu install media do weird crap with their partition tables21:11
Alabalisticcbreak: whe you plug your drive and suddenly all the ram is gone21:11
akikjjbuggle: use chown to change the permissions on the stick21:11
cbreakI think they somehow pretend to be a CD-ROM and have a normal partition table at the same time21:12
Alabalisticjjbuggle:  I allways install ubuntu-restricted-extras, and exfat21:12
cbreakMac OS can't even parse that thing properly21:12
jjbugglefwiw, I used gparted to reformat to ext2.  Then created a new folder (called movies cause I want to play a move on a tv), chowned that folder to myself, and I just finished copying the movie.  WEW!21:13
cbreakyou think your TV can mount ext2?21:13
jjbugglecbreak: ah fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff21:14
cbreakto talk to such devices I'd use fat32 or so21:14
Alabalisticexfat for usb. sudo apt install exfat-utils #and life is good21:14
Alabalisticfat32 4Gigs maximum file size21:15
cbreakfat32 is ancient, so most things should be able to read it21:16
