EnissayI am trying to install ubuntu on a mini pc alone (not in dual boot). So after deleting all windows partitions and adding news ones (/boot, swap, /, /home) it complains that no EFI partition is selected. Should I continue or am I doing it the wrong way ?00:34
EnissayActually there was an efi partition which I deleted with the other windows partitions :D00:34
EnissayOw, I see the menu allows me to create a new EFI partition00:37
EnissayIf I do, do I still need the /boot partition as well ?00:37
Enissayokay, dumb question... nvm :D00:40
leftyfbEnissay: why are you manually partitioning the drive?00:48
MrPocketsSorry if I'm dense, but I believe the samba client on 20.04 no longer supports smbv1?01:41
MrPocketsand I'm really sturgglign with trying to google how to tell it to support v101:42
leftyfbMrPockets: why do you think you need smbv1?01:44
MrPocketsBecause I know this old NAS to only support v1 and since upgrading I get "Vailed to mount Windows share: Software caused connection abort" when trying to browse to it01:45
MrPocketsAnd I get protocol error when using smbclient to mount01:45
MrPocketsSo while I'm not certain thats the issue, I'm not certain its not.01:47
leftyfbMrPockets: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1265923/configuring-20-04-samba-for-smbv101:47
MrPocketsmm yes i did try that01:49
MrPocketsthough01:49
MrPocketsI read better and moved the client min ver line up under "workgroup" and now it works.  So, thanks for helping my idiocy and i appreciate your petience for dealing with people like me01:50

apteryxhi! I'm installing an application via a .deb archive, but the icon is not shown in the searching its name in the dash (I get a generic empty icon).04:11
apteryxthe icons are correctly installed under /usr/share/icons/hicolor.  What could be wrong here?04:11
leftyfbapteryx: what application and what version of ubuntu are you trying to install it on?04:13
apteryxI'm installing jami-qt from a Guix-generated .deb (I'm working on the generator myself).04:13
apteryxthe "integration" with the Ubuntu 20.04 host is done by placing a few files in the standard places04:14
apteryxsuch as /usr/bin/jami-qt, /usr/share/applications/jami-qt.desktop, /usr/share/metainfo/jami-qt.appdata.xml, /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/jami.png and /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/jami.svg.04:15
apteryxis there an icon cache to refresh after installing?  I don't see this done in the official jami-qt .deb offered for ubuntu here: https://dl.jami.net/manual-nightly/ubuntu_20.04/04:16
apteryxthe icon shown instead of jami.svg or jami.png is a gear (two gears when viewed from the Ubuntu software store), which I believe is the icon shown when no icon was found.04:23
soreauif anyone wants to try wayfire, it's here https://github.com/soreau/wayfire-debs04:30
apteryxinterestingly the icon in the tray is OK04:35
apteryx(system tray)04:35
apteryxuh, it seems that 'for d in /usr/share/icons/*; do sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f $d; done' did it.04:38
apteryxwould that not happen automatically when installing via apt?04:39
alkisgapteryx: as a test, try to install a program like htop, which updates the mime and icon database on its postinst. If this fixes your icon issue as well, then look into the update-mime-database and update-icon-cache commands04:45
=== not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy

apteryxalkisg_web: installing htop doesn't resolve the icons cache issue12:31
apteryxI'm starting to believe that the md5sums is necessary for the icon cache machinery12:31
apteryxmy generated .deb doesn't have one (it's an optional feature)12:32
=== jpe__ is now known as sharperguy
apteryxwhere can I find the code for the appstream generator used by Debian & Ubuntu (I think?).  It seems to be the component responsible for integrating the icons nicely with the system upon installing a .deb.13:30
ograapteryx, probably rather a question for #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-desktop (i think that backend runs over the archive and snap store though ... somewhere in the infrastructure)13:35
apteryxogra: OK, will do, thanks!13:36

dongcarlHi I'm wondering if there's a place I can track ubuntu's glibc package in a git repo, like salsa for debian: https://salsa.debian.org/glibc-team/glibc14:44
lotuspsychjedongcarl: official packages usualy tracked/bugged on launchpad unless the snaps, its the maintainers choice14:46
rbasakdongcarl: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc - except that this is inverted - it's a git view of what was done, rather than the place that the package is maintained.14:47
rbasakIt looks like https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/+source/glibc is where the package is actually maintained14:48
rbasakHowever, like Salsa in Debian, that may or may not match the actual package received by users.14:48
dongcarlrbasak: Huh! How did you find that second link?14:49
rbasakdongcarl: Vcs-Browser from https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/tree/debian/control14:49
rbasakThat's the metadata field where a packager _can_ choose to point to a VCS repository14:49
rbasakHowever in Ubuntu it's often unchanged from Debian14:49
rbasak(in this case it wasn't)14:50
dongcarlAh very cool, thank you!14:50
dongcarlrbasak: How would one find the first link (for a given package, say, gcc)14:52
rbasakdongcarl: it currently only exists for most packages in the main component. It's not yet deployed archive-wide. But glibc and gcc are included.14:53
rbasakJust replace the source package name in the URL. The rest should stay the same14:53
dongcarlrbasak: Cool, many thanks!14:53

wezI don't really like the performance drop when using them15:03
wezIs there a command to ignore packages that try to install them?15:03
sixwheeledbeastyou don't have to have snaps currently, but you may loose a few default applications15:03
sixwheeledbeastunofficial advice but you could remove snapd15:03
Mekaneckwez:  remove snap from your system if you don't need or like them15:04
Str1xsixwheeledbeast: i was about to say15:04
Str1xyou can remove snapd15:04
sixwheeledbeastLast time I suggested this I was told not to suggest this, but I have no problem with it.15:04
wezMekaneck: Are there any deb packages that installs them?15:05
wezor only snapd?15:05
sixwheeledbeastsome debs do but only a small amount15:05
Mekanecksnap and deb are two different things and debs don't pull 'm in afaik15:05

sixwheeledbeastapt has a placeholder package that points to snap15:05
sixwheeledbeastfor some packages15:06
wezStr1x: Yeah I noticed there were a ton installed by default15:06
wezI didn't like that15:06

leftyfb!snap | wez15:24
ubottuwez: Snaps are containerised software packages similar to flatpaks or appimage. For more info, see https://snapcraft.io15:24
wezleftyfb: I know what they try to achieve, but they do it inefficiently15:25
wezI want to know if there is a way to fix that15:25
wezsquashfs is the worst15:25

leftyfbwez: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd15:26
wezcheers!15:26
ograwez, there is also the #snappy channel where the devs work ... and for discussions around the snap ecosystem you should use forum.snapcraft.io ...15:33

apb1963Greetings #ubuntu!16:39
apb1963I noticed a variety of warnings & errors in syslog.  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FqpvNHwNds/16:40
apb1963Possibly the most important one is here: "Jun 29 09:03:09 yellow update-notifier.desktop[290201]: ERROR:root:free space check failed" (and more).  When in fact I have 47GB free.16:45
apb1963I'm sure I don't have to point out: "Jun 29 09:10:21 yellow gnome-shell[2902]: Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x62000f816:47

sarnoldnuala: sounds reasonable enough; the kernel try to maintain their arp tables to know which machines are reachable, and how to reach them19:52
sarnoldnuala: you can run 'ip n' (short for neighbor, but I'm not sure I know how to spell that) to see the kernel's current arp table19:52
