[00:33] hello DavidPaiva[m] [00:34] 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 output [00:37] DavidPaiva[m], not familiar with the error, however did you check to be sure the live iso downloaded .. md5sum ? [00:38] DavidPaiva[m]: is there anything on other virtual consoles? [00:38] DavidPaiva[m]: does it prompt you to file a bug report or something similar? [00:38] good question [00:39] DavidPaiva[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 issues [00:39] how do I check it? I didn't check md5sum but I tried two different usb disks [00:39] with 21.04 specifically (not sure if related) [00:40] Yeah, I am sure it's the newest. Secure boot is indeed on [00:41] I'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 and now it worked" .. [00:42] sarnold: wasn't the whole upgrade debacle around 21.04 related to shim and secure boot? [00:42] this notebook was with a bios password [00:43] src: yeah, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1928434 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shim/+bug/1925010 come to mind [00:43] Launchpad bug 1928434 in shim-signed (Ubuntu) "shim-signed does not boot on EFI 2.40 by Apple" [Critical, In Progress] [00:43] Launchpad bug 1925010 in shim (Ubuntu Hirsute) "shim-signed 15.4 does not boot on EFI 1.10 systems" [High, Fix Released] [00:44] nothing says these are apple-specific issues but I was guessing acer probably wasn't going to hit either of these [00:44] DavidPaiva[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 issue [00:44] even if it is not a long term option for you (don't know, I personally don't care about secure boot) [00:46] DavidPaiva[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] (21.04 stock ubuntu image I mean) [00:49] DavidPaiva[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) [00:56] 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.

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

[01:56] DavidPaiva[m], ^ (my last comment) [01:57] on startup i load my xmodmap file and after some time it just reverts the changed i havae made in them [01:57] i reapply my xmodmap to fix it [01:57] laptop going to sleep or hibernating? [01:58] thyriaen: the usual mistake is people put their xmodmap command in ~/.bashrc or something similar rather than ~/.xsession or their desktop environment's autostart [01:58] nope, it just occurs randomly while it is running [01:58] sarnold, i have put it in a *.desktop file and then into autostart [01:58] thyriaen: dang. I would have expected that to work well :( [01:59] sarnold, it does work well [01:59] it loads it successfully, however it reverts the changes after some time [01:59] thyriaen: 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.. [02:00] thyriaen: actually finding out how to trace those actual api calls is quite a bit more work than just suggesting this, though :) heh [02:00] i think you need to call that from xll or from your login manager [02:00] what is your display manager. [02:01] uhm, the default one - i think gdm3 ?

[06:11] its hdmi [06:12] It does not have hdmi audio support, perhaps I should blacklist that [06:13] In win10 the amd settings were able to correct the problem.

[08:04] Hello everyone, I had installed a browser called Brave browser which I found to be dangerous or scam, I removed it via "apt purge brave-browser brave-keyring" and then proceeded to remove its repo from packagemanger software sources list. [08:05] The problem however is that when I use the command "apt update" it says : An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A8580BDC82D3DC6C [08:05] How can I get rid of the left-over traces of this browser?

Anyways I want to get rid of it and stick to Firefox. [08:06] Metamorphosis: you'll probably have a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave* which you need to remove, yet [08:06] Metamorphosis: check under the /etc/apt directory [08:07] StyXman: most laptop will run ubuntu fine, just need to think about some chipsets in your new laptop that could cause trouble more [08:07] StyXman: realtek and ralink chipsets for example [08:08] Metamorphosis: I never tried it myself, I think I have my ffox pretty locked down with ublock origin as firewall (deny any 3rd party site by default) and noscript [08:08] StyXman there are a lot of documented instances of users complaining about that browser's aggressive behavior and push for crypto tokens etc. Yet, I think it is not a matter to discuss here.

I have indeed checked my uefi settings and all related settings are enabled. "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx svm" doesn't show anything for svm [12:15] while it has a regular output for vmx [12:18] VMGuy23: another option is SyncThing. [12:21] RupertEverton Its probably disabled in your bios [12:21] RupertEverton: one if the AMD, and the other the Intel virtualization type [12:21] RupertEverton: it depends a lot on how you are trying to create the VMs. [12:22] jimbo like i said i check my uefi settings, and all virtualization-related options are enabled [12:22] RupertEverton: is your system itself a VM? [12:22] Walex: no, it's a regular install in which i'm trying to create a vm [12:23] RupertEverton: a regular install on which kind of hardware? [12:25] Walex: sorry i dont think i get your question. it's an ubuntu install on the laptop ssd -- its not a vm itself [12:25] RupertEverton: and how are defining the VM? Which command says ""virtualization extensions are unavailable"? [12:26] RupertEverton: that pesky Dell again? [12:26] RupertEverton: 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 :-) [12:27] RupertEverton: what does "kvm-ok" report? [12:27] Walex: 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 message [12:27] TJ- yes! very pesky indeed [12:28] 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] i need to install cpu-report to run kvm-ok. one moment [12:28] TJ- what was the VM that you ran on my system the other time? [12:29] RupertEverton: qemu/kvm [12:29] kvm-ok [12:29] INFO: /dev/kvm exists [12:29] KVM acceleration can be used [12:30] i'll try to install qemu/kvm since that worked before [12:30] RupertEverton: are you trying to create VMs as a non-"root" user? [12:30] RupertEverton: so, it is available. The obvious issue then is that this gnome box thing doesn't have permissions to /dev/kvm [12:31] 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 support [12:33] yes 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 settings [12:33] i'll try to add myself to kvm [12:34] RupertEverton: A quicker check is simply 'shudo chown $USER /dev/kvm' [12:35] Even better is "newgrp kvm" after having joined the group [12:35] RupertEverton: anyhow you should read the GNOME Boxes documentation as to it acquiring permissions without running under 'sudo' [12:36] TJ-: 'newgrp kvm' only works for the newly created shell though, so like that 'sudo chown' is only for a test. [12:36] TJ- Walex ive tried "sudo adduser $USER kvm", "sudo chown $USER /dev/kvm", "newgrp kvm" -- none of them worked, i still see the same error message [12:37] i'll try with qemu [12:38] RupertEverton: Looks like boxes is just a wrapper around QEMU/KVM https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-boxes/stable/supported-protocols.html.en [12:39] RupertEverton: so basically an alternative to virt-manager we used [12:39] alright we're at a turning point here [12:39] RupertEverton: also to check capabilites it says to do "gnome-boxes --checks" [12:40] i 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 gone [12:40] strange; I would have thought gnome-boxes would have a Depends on those [12:41] $ sudo apt install dnsmasq bridge-utils libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients qemu-utils qemu-kvm virtinst virt-manager [12:41] $ sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER [12:41] $ sudo usermode -aG kvm $USER [12:41] gnome-boxes check shows two errors: [12:41] util-app.vala:370: Failed to execute child process ?virsh? (No such file or directory) [12:41] util-app.vala:350: Failed to execute child process ?restorecon? (No such file or directory) [12:41] well two warnings actually [12:41] ^^^ [12:41] RupertEverton: virsh is the 'shell' for talking to libvirtd [12:42] RupertEverton: how did you install gnome-boxes? from a package in the repository? [12:43] indeed 'apt-cache depends gnome-boxes' seems to have the right dependencies here... [12:43] TJ- 'sudo apt install gnome-boxes' [12:43] it has a "Recommends: qemu-system-x86" so have to wonder if it was installed with --no-install-recommends [12:43] actually yes [12:43] mightve been [12:43] ahuh! :D [12:44] i should try to purge everything and install without the parameter [12:44] RupertEverton: KVM is not needed to run virtual machines [12:45] RupertEverton: so 'gnome-boxes' should have worked regardless. [12:45] we'll find out for sure in a minute [12:46] RupertEverton: you probably requested to define a VM with acceleration without installing the relevant bits. [12:48] RupertEverton: 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". [12:49] alright 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 significant [12:50] https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-boxes/stable/virtualization.html.en [12:50] Its saturday, people asking for help, then arguing with people and telling them they are wrong. i am off. [12:50] RupertEverton: 'virsh' is in libvirt-clients -- not entirely clear /why/ boxes would need that rather than using the library [12:52] not sure [12:52] now the vm system booted without issues though so all should be resolved! [12:52] cheers for the help guys, very much appreciated [13:09] Hello, please advise Is it possible to create zip archives (not tar.gz) with the "tar" command? [13:11] Guest92: no, tar only does tar. For zip archives there are 'zip' and 'unzip' commands [13:11] why, there is the zip tool to do that [13:11] Guest92: (and xarchiver GUI probably does both) [13:11] I like the rich option set that tar offers [13:12] interesting.. [13:12] Guest92: file bug reports with the zip package, then, and suggest your favourite features to be added [13:12] it can create xz, gz, bzip... I thought it can do zip too [13:13] nope, unfortunately not [13:13] thx! [13:13] gzip is more universal than zip or tar [13:14] AFAIK on Windows gzip requires additional software [13:14] zip is handled natively [13:15] * oerheks looks out the windows [13:16] they are all separate programs that do similar but separate jobs. [13:17] tar is gnu, zip aint [13:17] tar has an option of using a third party program, I'll look into it [13:18] I have found gnu apps often have a long list of features. Quite advanced. === andydude_ is now known as andydude [13:18] Guest92: thanks! Please share your findings here.

Please help to subdue. [15:04] any use salt for conifguration management here or is there a separate channel? [15:07] I have never heard of salt sorry, but I am into configuration management so I might check it out [15:08] thanks wez [15:11] what tool do you use to achieve that? [15:15] Guest5: puppet, chef, ansible, AWS specific tools [15:16] salt is similar to this [15:28] I hate you, systemd. [15:29] :( [15:33] B0g4r7, 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. [15:34] why the fuck is it 1m+ lines of code and has a dns cache?' [15:34] anyway... [15:35] out 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] not specifically talking about ubuntu, but in general [15:37] what about discovered cases of open source devs being paid to include vulnerablities into commonly used software that they maintain? [15:38] The Dual EC DRBG incident is one that comes to mind. [15:39] https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/11/nsa-ask-linus-torvalds-include-backdoors-linux-father-says-yes [15:42] there was that long standing issue with rsa as well of course [15:51] Why 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? [16:08] B0g4r7: 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 undesirable [16:16] B0g4r7: 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? [16:17] and of course restarting the system will read the fstab [16:17] this going to be a new reason not to like systemd isnt it.... [16:18] Entelin: the weird thing is that systemd grabs the info from fstab and uses it automatically with the mount units [16:20] ok well I could ask a bunch of questions about that, but there's no point, I haven't done any real research on systemd yet === Guest5 is now known as rexwin [16:41] 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/fstab [16:41] Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/e29b08066f71c5a1f68ad61f69ee5a5e/pasted.txt [16:45] how to start a service in ubuntu 18 ( salt-minion) [16:46] !yy.mm | rexwin [16:46] rexwin: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [16:47] rexwin: but you probably mean 18.04 LTS or 18.10 (which is EOL). and it is/was systemctl start .unit in both cases [16:48] xu-help23w: did you have an ubuntu support question? [16:52] yes [16:52] installed Linux x ubuntu and now the Wi-Fi is periodically turned off. Please help to subdue.

[20:21] omg, systemd hosed me again. [20:21] Two of my USB hard drives disconnected and reconnected for no apparent reason. [20:21] Systemd decided it needed to intervene, and stopped nfs-kernel-server. [20:22] Howdy, 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] B0g4r7, it may be a power surge [20:22] That 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. [20:23] 6 plots were eligible for farming 4e6745e0df... Found 1 proofs. Time: 81.55186 s. [20:23] all 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] So I missed out on 2 XCH, $830 thanks to systemd. [20:23] I hate you, systemd. [20:24] If 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] usb isn't known to be reliable [20:25] It would have been fine if systemd had minded its business. [20:25] it did, obviously [20:25] if it stopped nfs, then it only did that because it was configured to [20:25] It has no business stopping nfs-kernel-server. [20:49] how do I connect my thumbdrive so I can copy and delete files? It is being mounted as readonly [20:54] something is off if it got mounted as readonly, jjbuggle [20:54] have 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] your actual issue may be different [20:55]
