=== eliocamp6 is now known as eliocamp [00:42] hello - i recently upgraded from 18.04 LTS beaver to 20.04 LTS fossa - some parts of the window manager (gnome?) don't appear quite right and alt-tab hotkeys are not set correctly - what's the best way to purge some of this configuration back to a 'clean install' [00:46] Hi, I need help. I keep having the following error when running update-initramfs: [00:46] BUSY: A thought - how about ' apt show gnome-initial-setup '; look relevant ? [00:46] What should I do with this? https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/pYob0mGj/update-initramfs_output [00:47] This error showed up after installing Ubuntu Studio through an APT package. [00:47] Bashing-om, will give it a shot - doesn't look like it can hurt [00:50] hmm - actually, it looks like it wants me to create a new user [00:50] Ginalo: what provided that : /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//zz-kernelstub file? [00:50] BUSY: Ouch - I do not run gnome - so no 1st hand knowledge here. [00:52] sarnold: I have no idea, to be honest. [00:52] Ginalo: pastebinit it? [00:53] sarnold: Okay, I'll get back after doing that. [00:57] 5.11.0-7614 doesn't seem to exist on ubuntu [00:58] tomreyn: Yeah. It doesn't make sense. Any idea on what I should do? [00:59] how to remove old kernels? [00:59] apt autoremove doesn't list them [01:00] Ginalo: do the pastebin [01:01] Ginalo: and tell us what this system is you're running [01:01] sarnold, tomreyn: Really sorry for not having an idea, but what should I pastebin? [01:01] apt would remove them, after reboot [01:01] so, no longer need to cleanup, ice9 [01:01] new policy [01:01] Ginalo: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//zz-kernelstub [01:02] Ginalo: whatever that is feels buste [01:02] I'm running pop-os [01:02] Ginalo: or whatever it's reading is busted [01:02] oerheks, i already rebooted but they are not getting removed by apt [01:02] oh [01:02] Ginalo: you'll have better luck talking with them, they'll probably know what this is [01:03] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/OM3ROhWS/paste-of-zz-kernelstub [01:04] Ginalo: hah, cute. it just calls something else.. [01:05] Ginalo: yeah, talk to pop_os folks, that's your best bet [01:08] ice9: which ubuntu release is this? which architecture? is linux-generic (or linux-generic-hwe-*) installed? [01:09] tomreyn, 21.04 5.11.0-18-generic [01:10] apt list --installed linux-generic* [01:11] !info linux-generic-hwe-20.04 [01:11] linux-generic-hwe-20.04 (5.11.0.18.19, hirsute): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Built by linux-meta. Size 2 kB / 18 kB. (Only available for amd64, armhf, arm64, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x.) [01:12] tomreyn, https://bpa.st/EVFA === M4he is now known as mahe [01:12] ice9: you have linux-generic-hwe-20.04 installed on hisuite? that's weird, how did that get installed? [01:13] *hirsute [01:13] tomreyn, i just installed ubuntu normally from the installer, i haven't configure anything manually; what is the hwe? [01:14] !hwe | ice9 [01:14] ice9: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [01:14] it's for LTS release (latest LTS release is 20.94 LTS) only [01:14] anyways, purge that and install linux-image [01:17] * 20.04 LTS [01:35] ice9: did it help? you'd need to run sudo apt update && sudo apt autoremove again === h1pot is now known as BeneditoSalvador [02:05] hello, are the software repos for 7.04 still online? [02:07] Guest98: you should not be running this version from year 2007. there's old-releases.ubuntu.com [02:08] I have to for my software requirements (compiz fusion). I hope the software repos are still active. [02:09] Guest98: are you joking then? [02:09] no, I am already downloading the iso but my question was if the software archives are still online [02:09] !7.04 | Guest98 [02:09] Guest98: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [02:11] that doesn't really answer my question [02:11] !eol [02:11] End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:11] this release will have many, many unfixed vulnerabilities. the release is certainly not "active". i already pointed you to where old apt archives can be found. [02:11] "compiz" is still available in current ubuntu releases [02:12] awesome. Thanks. Yes but it doesn't have any of the custom features compiz had in its heyday (such as cube desktop, fire, water, wobbly windows etc) [02:13] so you prefer nice looks over security. that's pretty close to insane, but you should make your own choices. [02:14] it's gonna be in a vm [02:14] Guest98: compiz isn't a requirement, it's personal preference fluff that is outdated and unsupported [02:15] you don't know what my requirements are [02:15] wobbbbbbbly windows! [02:16] Hi. I installed the vboxguest editions on ubuntu server but I still can't get bidirectional clipboard working. Any tips? [02:16] Guest98: if your "requirements" are for an OS that went unsupported 14 years ago, then they aren't valid requirements [02:16] my requirements are to play with wobbly windows so your argument is invalid [02:17] you can actually get them in 20.10 with gnome shell extensions but another one of my requirements is the fire tool [02:19] Miruku: i suppose you mean "additions", not "editions". those should ideally be the same version as the virutalbox version the host is running. and, unless you've installed that with ubuntu packages, you should seek support from virtualbox (probbaly their forums, though they also used to have an irc channel on freenode, which may have moved here, to libera) [02:19] the irc channel was #vbox [02:20] Yeah, that's what I meant. I think I will just use superputty. But thank you! :) [02:20] Miruku: also, i would be surprised if their clipboard sharing does not depend on X. [02:21] Yeah, I was reading that as well. Not really wanting to install x. Kind of defeats the purpose of my development environment. At that point I would just pay a few bucks to host in aws. === sn1tch3r_ is now known as sn1tch3r === war is now known as Guest9350 === sn1tch3r_ is now known as sn1tch3r [02:53] linux package name in ubuntu is linux-image? and is it named like that in debian too? [03:02] N: Can't select versions from package 'linux-image' as it is purely virtual [03:02] linux-image-generic depends upon whatever package is newest, eg: [03:02] Depends: linux-image-5.4.0-74-generic, linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-74-generic, linux-firmware, intel-microcode, amd64-microcode [03:03] this way apt can be taught to bring in new packages === Guest47 is now known as jimbobco [04:19] ..n [04:30] poof as off to bed I go \o [04:35] Anybody know where/who I would go to for support for Android Studio in snap store? I'm having an issue with AVD Manager not being able to locate adb, even when installed via Android Studio SDK Manager. I manually added that directory to my $PATH and it still can't find it in Android Studio, even though I now have access to the command via shell. Sorry if this is the... [04:35] ... wrong place. I'm not as familiar with snap as I'd like to be. === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB === mkv is now known as m4v === prxq_ is now known as prxq [06:10] morning [06:12] Herro === bsmith093 is now known as Guest7547 === bsmith093 is now known as Guest7791 === bsmith093 is now known as Guest5979 [06:44] We have a request. This is about Ubuntu 20.04. There is a bug with dhcp in the package network-manager 1.22.10-1ubuntu2.2. This bug is described on redhat bugtracker - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1817788. Here you can see "error -113 dispatching events" in log. It seems the issue was resolved in network manager 1.22.12. Is it possible to update(or fix) the network-manager package in repository? It affects many users, I suppose. [06:44] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1817788 in Fedora "Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections drops every few minutes when using NetworkManager's internal DHCP client implementation" [Medium, Closed: Duplicate] [06:49] yevhenivanchenko, bug requests belong on a bug tracker; launchpad.net being Ubuntu's , but if you have the CVE you can check to see what releases have fixed or back-ported fixes [06:54] Thanks tomreyn! going to try it out. :-D === jpe__ is now known as sharperguy [07:03] it is not easy for me to create bug on launchpad. I though that it will be easier to write about it in the chat. As I know, the issue exist at least a few months and nobody fixed it. === bsmith093 is now known as Guest7972 === Guest7972 is now known as bsmith093 === bsmith093 is now known as Guest4770 [07:50] Hey, what's the command to uninstall snap? [07:51] apt remove snapd ? [07:52] Will that break anything? [07:52] Depends, have any important snaps installed? [07:55] Unit193: I haven't installed any, just what comes out of the box with Ubuntu 20.04 [07:55] wez: check if snap is mounted with lsblk... [07:56] you should see a mount if it is, if not... it's not installed. :-) [07:56] Also, whose idea was it to install snap by default? [07:56] canocial. (not sure if that's spelled correctly) [07:56] arj_: hrrm what sent you to freenode still out of interest? [07:57] arj_: a particular ubuntu irc package? [07:57] Chunkyz-RPi: Canonical* [07:58] Unit193: thanks. :-) [07:58] Is Canonical open to input on what they should bundle in their OS? [07:58] no lol [08:00] i wish heh [08:00] :( I guess I'll go back to Debian then. [08:01] I love Debian until I need a relatively up-to-date version of some software to use a new feature === o is now known as niko === waxfire23 is now known as waxfire2 [08:15] snhardin: debian 11 and derivatives be out soonish [08:15] snhardin: some like 'rolling releases' [08:15] e.g. artix/arch if nhey keep up to date [08:16] snhardin: often, you can 'backport' packages to your needed debian/ubuntu release [08:17] snhardin: mind taking that conversation elsewhere please, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support.

[09:04] ogra: Thanks, I'll check it out. [09:24] Hi! On Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, looking at ip addr I see that my IPv6 address is autoconfigured as 2001:db8:dead:beef::/64. IOW, the server is receiving a prefix but not assigning itself an IP. why is that the case, and what is this configured "address" for? it doesn't seem to respond to all addresses under it which was my first guess. is it possible to just have it append its EUI-64? I wouldn't like to [09:24] manually configure it as static - there's currently no Netplan file and this is a Docker server so the possibility of breaking something is high. [09:32] pikaro: you might wanna talk to the #ubuntu-server experts about that [09:32] lotuspsychje: Thanks, will do! [09:33] How can an ssd be checked in linux/ubuntu for errors? I get i/o errors on a luks encrypted disk. I reboot system and it works but get it again sometime later. after error, I cannot access files on disk [09:34] Intelo: same as hdd's, !smart [09:51] tomreyn smart? [09:51] which drives are good? brand and size? (my needs are 2tb though). Also I heard m.2 is better like 5% more than normal ssd but I guess the portability of ssd is better as I can use a case and port ssd anywhere. Also plug it in a laptop (most laptops don't have m.2 ) [09:52] !smart | Intelo [09:52] Intelo: smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives.

[13:08] restarting network service doesnt work [13:08] dirtwash: nm? [13:08] ubuntu server [13:09] isn't 16 eol? [13:09] what does it matter [13:09] no support... [13:10] well, paid support 🙂 [13:10] lol [13:10] i forgot ubuntu has a shitty community [13:17] I knew how to do that four years ago. Now I'm not sure I'll get it wrong by accident and lead you into more trouble (eg. lose connectivity when adjusting remotely). [13:18] We made it much better now. "sudo netplan apply". But I'm not sure that applies to 16.04 either. [13:18] rbasak: they left [13:18] dude is gone [13:18] Ah :) [13:18] good riddance lol [13:19] honestly though i think ubuntu has one of the better communities [13:21] it would be someone who would come in and ask a question impatiently and then scream shitty community really get what they put in [13:22] wow I feel like my thoughts were not put into words properly there sorry lol [13:23] No I get you. I and you are very much right. I feel like whenever I have an issue with my machines/servers the UB community most of the time has an answer to my questions [13:26] rbasak, it would have been ifconfig down/up ... but he left too quickly [13:34] ogra: Yep, and chaining that to reverting a backup if your config if ifconfig fails, because otherwise you'd have lost access to the box :-p [13:35] indeed [13:37] Look at that, shitty community providing an answer even after the person has left. Oh well, perhaps they'll read the logs online ;-) [13:48] Anyone know of a ppa for neomutt? The latest on Ubuntu is several versions behind and there is an annoying bug I keep running into and I'd like to update [13:54] pjs: the latest release of ubuntu has the latest release of neomutt available in Debian [13:55] leftyfb: hrmm, I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS [13:55] latest version according to apt-cache is from 2019 [13:55] ok, that one is a bit outdated. Not uch we can do there [13:56] * pjs nods [13:56] I'll build it, nbd [13:57] pjs: you could try downloading the newer deb, and hope all the dependencies are met. [13:57] pjs: https://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/neomutt [13:57] pjs: there's also the option of building and uploading a snap so others can take advantage [13:59] leftyfb: I completely removed snapd, not my thing ;) [14:00] kyentei: Wonder if anyone has had any issues doing that [14:00] pjs: yeah, I hate easily installing the latest release of packages on almost any distro as well [14:07] leftyfb: When the tradeoffs are yet another daemon, slower performance, a million mounts, etc. I agree 100% === Guest8527 is now known as lubuntu === lubuntu is now known as Guest5329 [14:33] Hello..

Feel free to remove it [15:17] Hi, quick question: Do old package revisions ever get removed from archive.ubuntu.com ? [15:18] when I hit the sleep button on my computer, if Discord is running, the computer refuses to go to sleep [15:18] tobtoht-, old versions stay, afaik .. see example gedit https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/gedit [15:19] I feel like no software should be able to prevent a sleep that's triggered through physically pushing the sleep button, but a confined snap should be *especially* unable to do that [15:21] mort, talk to the developers, discord is a proprietary binairy blob; https://snapcraft.io/discord [15:21] oerheks: but discord is irrelevant, it's a bug that a program is able to prevent sleep like that [15:24] mort check out software > installed > discord > permissions [15:25] it has play audio, browser-support, use camera, gsettings read access, home folder file access, network access, opengl access, plau and record sound access, and prevent screen sleep/lock [15:26] great, you found the setting [15:26] but "prevent screen sleep/lock" surely is just meant to prevent going to sleep after some number of minutes? [15:26] .. try it [15:26] sometimes when the i try to unlock the screen after no activity, i find that ubuntu 21.04 has freezed and I have to hard reset, any idea? [15:28] [15:28] weird, even after opening discord again just now, still having that permission, it doesn't affect sleep [15:29] ice9: if you use wayland, start with xorg (it's an alternative, you can set it from the login screen) [15:29] why is there one "play audio" permission, one "record audio" setting and one "play and record sound" setting [15:29] oerheks: excellent, thanks [15:30] mort, the combined one is deprecated but still there because older snaps might still use it ... the curse of eternal backwards compatibility that snaps bring along [15:30] src, i'm using xorg already [15:31] ice9: then I'm afraid I don't know what's causing it === x__ is now known as xis [15:32] mort, if you are disabling screen-inhibit-control in discord and you still can not suspend you should open a topic on forum.snapcraft.io, disconnecting that iterface shuld clearly allow you to suspend [15:34] mort, also ... there is the #snappy channel for snap questions 😉 [15:34] ogra: isn't it a weirdly designed experience in general that I can hit the sleep button on my keyboard, see my screens turn off and lights on my keyboard turn off, and then everything turns back on a few seconds later and I'm at a login screen? [15:34] Hey, I'm trying to open gnome-terminal in tty3 by running 'startx gnome-terminal', without a window manager, but instead the applications is opened on my graphical console (Ctrl-Alt-F2). Why is this happening? [15:35] even if a program should be able to prevent my sleep button from working, surely that's not the way it's supposed to look? [15:35] can i stop gnome shell from changing my displays and resizing all my windows if a display powers off? [15:35] mort, you found the option, it is by design to prevent sleep. [15:35] mort, well, i didnt implement that interface ... but i'm happy that vlc keeps ny system alive while watching a video ... and that zoom does while in a conference [15:36] ogra: I get preventing the auto lock/sleep due to inactivity, I don't get preventing the sleep button from working, and I especially don't get preventing the sleep button from working in the manner it currently does [15:36] mort, as i said, post on forum.snapcraft.io to get it changed or to learn why it is as it is [15:37] (i'm using snaps ince plenty of years and have actually never had issues with the sleep button, even when using the ones that use that interface ... perhaps discord does something special over i.e. zoom or vlc) [15:39] I just checked my journal, and, well, https://p.mort.coffee/8vQ [15:39] the interface only allows the apps to access the bits of the system ... it does not rule how these system resources are used (an app could forcefully ping a wakeup event every second or just monitor if your screen wants to sleep and then send a ping= [15:39] looks like some gnome-shell thing [15:40] it looks like gnome-shell/apparmor preventing discord from accessing /proc/self/maps and discord retrying in a hot loop [15:40] weird to prevent access to /proc/self, that seems like it'd break a bunch of programs with no security benefits [15:41] well, these "gnome-shell: Sandbox" messages have nothing to do with snaps [15:41] looks like a gnome-shell bug to me [15:41] mort, what is your issue now? [15:41] I don't know what the relationship between gnome-shell and apparmor is [15:42] well, your log shows there is none [15:42] no idea where that "Sandbox" message comes from, it is definitely unrelated to snaps [15:45] I'm not really comfortable using a system which spams the log with a ton of permission errors every second [15:46] i think you get those messages when you run DRM "protected" stuff (widevine) in Firefox. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1948331 [15:46] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1948331 in Fedora "repeated 'Sandbox: attempt to open unexpected file /proc/self/maps'" [Unspecified, New] [15:46] you seem to be right, closing my music tab made gnome-shell stop spamming [15:48] that begs the question, wtf is the widevine blob doing with /proc/self/maps [15:49] anyways, not related to ubuntu then [15:50] i guess the log spam is, this should get rate limited or something. [15:50] (insert Bernie saying I'm once again asking) Hey, I'm trying to open gnome-terminal in tty3 by running 'startx gnome-terminal', without a window manager, but instead the application is opened on my graphical console (Ctrl-Alt-F2). Why is this happening? [15:51] tomreyn: yeah, some kind of feature where it prints the first message and then "[omitted 1337 identical denials]" would be neat [15:52] at least dedupe denials happening within the same second [15:53] mort: would you please file a bug then? [15:58] well, with widevine rummaging through the browser's memory maps and discord pthread probing random applications it's a good thing we have sandboxes eh [16:00] ravanan: startx is not really the way to go anymore, and why do you want a GUI terminal from inside a tty? [16:05] mort, well, if discourse used the system-observe interface (check with "snap connections discord" if it has that plug defined) it would be quiet 🙂 [16:06] not sure if it is actually harmful what it tries to do [16:06] allegedly it's just to automatically enter streaming mode if you start OBS or something like that [16:07] @leftyfb: the problem is that I cant remove 'stegsolve' becouse I cant found any binary file that can run it [16:07] but I don't really want my chat application to ptrace all my other applications, *especially* not when it's closed source, so I'm happy that apparmor is blocking it [16:07] user217_____: that would have been something you installed manually. It's not available in the ubuntu repos. Maybe look for CTF applications you installed [16:07] also, I dont see any process that run it in 'top'/'htop' [16:08] user217_____: have you tried messing with "hacking" tools at all? [16:09] user217_____: if not, then your only option would be to wipe your system, reinstall ubuntu and restore your files from backup [16:10] user217_____: and be more careful about opening up your system/ports to the internet [16:12] leftyfb: yep, I try to play with "hacking tools" but now stuck with removing this tools [16:12] user217_____: you shouldn't be messing with such tools unless you know what you are doing [16:12] user217_____, this is what $DIETY created VMs for 😉 [16:12] I found the way how to run it now: ls -la /proc/919602/exe [16:13] but still cant found binary [16:13] that run it [16:13] which # did you try it [16:14] o noo :( looks like my 'ls' just broken and run 'stegsolve' now intead of do it work :( [16:15] user217_____: reinstall your system. There's no telling what sort of mess has been created with random tools installed without fully understanding what they do or the system they're installed on [16:17] leftyfb: bad idea for me [16:17] what does `echo $PATH` say [16:20] user217_____: bad idea? You've been messing with hacking tools on a system that is deemed critical and/or no backups? [16:21] I'm 50/50 on "user217_____ accidentally 'hacked' themselves with their hacking tools" and "user217_____ downloaded a trojan meant to target script kiddies" [16:22] oh, I'm 90/10 on that [16:22] whats the deal when trying to get a script work on linux and mac [16:22] it works perfectly on linux but mac is complaining [16:22] goddard: maybe try #mac? [16:22] @mort https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rQyNN8yjS7/ [16:22] well there are differences between linux and mac, to get a script to work on both you have to use their common subset [16:23] goddard: different shell, different bash version? and not something for this channel I guess [16:23] slightly different tools etc [16:23] depends on the script really [16:24] @mort looks like in any of this locations there is no 'stegsolve' binary https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qjHs8p5TVJ/ [16:25] user217_____: you say that running `ls` runs stegsolve..? [16:25] @mort yep. A few more apps [16:25] what [16:26] let this be a lesson kids, stay safe, use condoms [16:27] user217_____: what is the actual problem you have experiencing? Describe what you do, what the expected result would be, and what the actual result is [16:29] @mort this is how "ls -l" command looks like in "htop" https://itmages.su/images/2021/06/17/88d27a8d9ce94faccd14ede618424fc7.png [16:31] user217_____: powerpc64? [16:31] user217_____: this is an old mac? [16:32] @mort: for exaple: I want to run "ls -la" and expect to see list of files in my current folder. But get runing "stegsolve" app - as result [16:32] @leftyfb nope. Acer with ubuntu 20.04 on it [16:33] user217_____: can you run `env`, censor any keys or sensitive data you may have there, and pastebin it [16:34] isn't the solution obviously to boot from a sysresccd, carefully back up most important files, and wipe the damn system? [16:34] yes [16:34] yea that'd probably be the best way to go, this seems completely fucked [16:35] how the hell do you end up in a situation where your commands are prefixed with `/usr/lib/x86_64-kfreebsd-gnu/jni:/usr/lib/powerpc64-linux-gnu/jni:<...> -jar` [16:35] is that even legal shell syntax? [16:36] how do you debug this, how do you clean up this system reliably, and then how are you sure it's really clean [16:36] carefully back up stuff if you need to and do a clean install [16:36] thats debians multiarch stuff for kfreebsd i guess [16:36] and learn a lesson [16:36] @mort https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gvNdrhyZpn/ [16:37] user217_____: re-install and restore from backup [16:38] @leftyfb may be someone is interested to go deepre in this :) [16:38] I doubt it :D [16:40] anyway, next step should be - question on ask.ubuntu [16:41] not really [16:41] but, first - should try my luck here [16:41] just wipe it [16:41] you will likely not get other answers on askubuntu and just bind supporter resurces [16:41] user217_____: even if you get passed this one particular issue, I can guarantee you you have other issues [16:42] yeah [16:42] @leftyfb everybody, for shure, have a some issues time to time [16:42] user217_____: not usually like this. You have a huge mess [16:42] reinstall freshly ... and use VMs for such experiments in the future [16:43] user217_____: you botched your install playing around with hacking tools up to a point where $ ls doesn't work and you don't know what the damn thing even did, how can you recover this install up to a point where it can be trusted to be reliable without restoring from backup or wiping it clean? [16:44] user217_____: writing up your issue / issues, what exactly you did, getting all of the right logs and so forth will be more work than backing up and installing fresh [16:44] you're free to do what you want, but don't say you haven't been told. Not sure why you are trying to needlessly drag this any further [16:46] it should be my plan "B" [16:46] user217_____: reinstall. That is your option. Good luck [16:48] leftyfb +1 [16:52] This is the easiest way. But there is also some logic that run 'stegsolve' and I want to found it. [16:56] user217_____: good luck. It's beyond the scope of this channel [17:00] hi all [17:00] welcome jamea97 [17:00] downloaded visual studio .deb [17:00] and isntalled where is? === ahso1 is now known as ahso [17:01] we don't support manual downloads, use the snap version, you would get updates https://snapcraft.io/code [17:01] ok [17:02] i am downloaded from official site of visual code [17:02] ok https://snapcraft.io/code downloading [17:03] arghh installed snap: apt install snap.. [17:03] now: sudo snap install code --classic [17:04] sudo snap command not found :( [17:04] interesting, on what linux version are you? [17:04] mint, hahaha , blocks snaps [17:04] checking [17:04] some flavours dont have snap by default neither [17:05] find the mint channel? [17:05] not sure if mint [17:05] i am sure it is not ubuntu [17:06] jamea97: you can get vscode on ubuntu via three ways, -) manual installation, -) snap, -) using the ms repos [17:06] jamea97: having problem with the first and second, maybe the third is the way to go [17:07] ubuntu 18.04.5 [17:07] jamea97: but you should at least know what OS you're actually running [17:07] old version? [17:08] !18.04 [17:08] Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) is the 28th release of Ubuntu, supported until April 2023. Release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes [17:08] yes, then is buntu :) [17:08] *ubuntu [17:08] jamea97: do you plan to do dev work? [17:09] having difficulty trying to get sway working, here's some logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rBrx66jnTG/ [17:09] not, only compilation [17:09] everything will be outdated, all packages, language versions, libraries et cetera, while still being supported it will cause problems [17:09] I would consider upgrading [17:09] jamea97: also see my above messages about your options in installing vscode [17:09] this machine is configured, hard to configure, python android, so so for compile [17:11] found error: [17:11] sudo apt install snap [17:12] found error: user failed to excplain what the error is. [17:13] would be: [17:13] sudo apt install snapd [17:13] wich is better: sudo snap install code --classic or sudo snap install core ? [17:14] i do not see core as an option for visual studio [17:15] ok thanks === zimmedon is now known as NewQuakey === NewQuakey is now known as Zimmedon [17:20] src consider upgrading? my ubuntu? is possible with a commnand line? [17:22] jamea97: if vscode works and your setup works feel free to stick with it [17:22] I personally would prefer a newer version but it would mean backing up your system before, can't promise that everything will go smoothly [17:23] and it will be somewhat involved, if interested you should search online [17:28] https://paste.debian.net/1201550 [17:28] how to execute i dont see in desktop or any menu option [17:33] jamea97: $ code [17:33] should start it [17:34] it should have created a menu entry though as well (not sure about snap on 18.04, don't know what de/wm you're running) [17:34] maybe you can create one yourself, you can check where the program is with $ which code [17:35] worked command code [17:37] kde opens your terminals wherever you left them after restart [17:37] can also split terminals vert and hor [17:38] as well as sway not working, I can't get GDM3 to work too. it just show a grey screen and a white little box (I'm presuming it's my mouse) anyone have any ideas? [17:38] src thanks [17:38] jamea97: have fun coding [17:38] :) [17:39] you are dev? [17:39] I dabble [17:42] jamea97, if you just freshly installed snapd you should log out and back in again, else icons for newly installed snaps will not show up [17:42] ogra: oh nice, so that's the cause [17:42] yep [17:43] snapd extends XDG_DATA_DIRS ... thats only set at login time [17:45] need relogin? [17:45] I also installed gd3m, IT NEVER gets enabled after a restart even though I enabled the service!! [17:46] jamea97: need to log in again for vscode icon to show up in menu [17:46] some more logs of sway https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rBrx66jnTG/ [17:46] anyone know what's causing it? I EVEN installed ubuntu-desktop... [17:48] I can't really help but is there any reason you need wayland over xorg? [17:48] wayland still has issues [17:48] just want to try sway tbh. [17:48] I had to search for it since I didn't know it [17:49] but since it's a drop in replacement for i3, you could just try i3 on xorg? [17:49] if that actually works [17:49] Chunkyz-RPi, you should really switch to 20.10 if you want to run any ubuntu desktop on a Pi ... there is a reason we did not release a desktop image in 20.04 (the underlying system simply was not ready) [17:50] yesssssssssssssssssssssssss [17:50] help me with snap for install notepad++ [17:50] pls [17:51] jamea97: you should really learn some basic things about your system [17:51] jamea97: $ man snap [17:51]
