[04:45] Yes with Lubuntu [04:45] Whats the best way to update? [04:45] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? [04:46] Guest32: That is I admit my preference :D [04:46] nice [04:46] Does ubuntu have a dedicated sercurity team [04:47] hueYhough apt-get is depreciated in favor of ' apt update .... ' . [04:47] Guest32: Yeah, See: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/ . [04:48] so whats the ful command to update now? [04:48] full [04:48] Guest32: Termianlly ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' . [04:48] your 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' should work fine too [04:49] sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade ? [04:49] and perhaps apt-get dist-upgrade [04:49] !distupgrade [04:49] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [04:49] fully updates =) [05:18] apt upgrade doesn't fully update the system, prefer apt full-upgrade [05:19] !uptodate [05:19] To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [05:19] ^ [05:34] Does the 20.04 release of ubuntu require that garbage collection be configured for ssd drives (the way it used to be needed with oder releases)? [05:34] oder\older === mkv is now known as m4v [05:50] Heya lotuspsychje, that factoid isn't appropriate, it should recommend full-upgrade instead, otherwise important updates may not be applied [05:52] blahboybaz, you mean trim?

[07:08] EriC^^: actually now that I see that, would it matter that the directories are not in ~/ but in ~/Documents ? [07:09] I mean, before running the commands I did cd so.. [07:09] nah it's happening here as well, wonder why [07:11] and rsync dir* etc didnt work [07:12] guest25, try: echo mv dir*/* merged [07:12] No for loop required, if I understood you correctly [07:12] alkisg: I cant run mv because I get this error: bash: /usr/bin/mv: Argument list too long [07:12] Ok [07:12] I have >500 folders [07:12] Guest25: this works here, find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'dir.*' | while IFS='' read -r dir; do rsync -a "${dir}"/ merged; done [07:13] Do you want to copy/rsync the files, or move them?

[08:29] shadow_master_: yes but we all have different skills so post your question and some that has a answer will reply [08:36] since i did update my ubuntu from 20.04 to 21.10, i have sliced flashing triangles on my screen, even after i installed 20.04 again ,it doesn't fix [08:37] probably graphics card related [08:37] nVidia or AMD in it? [08:38] but i don't have that triangles on windows, i didn't do anything on ubuntu, i just recently installed ubuntu [08:39] it is intergrated intel [08:40] me too on both machines but i don't have that issue === gr33n7001 is now known as gr33n7007h [08:53] hello [08:54] my pc keeps shutting down in a random fashion and the message I get is :thermal thermal_zone0: acpitz: critical temperature reached, shutting down [08:55] a couple of points: [08:55] the components are not overheating. I have attached sensors to the heatsinks and I have re-applied heat paste to the CPU heatsink as well. No discrete GPU either, just integrated into the north bridge. [08:56] The message does not mention the temp, which is weird to me. [08:56] the sensors command lists only two items, one is the CPU which is always cool enough and the other is a constant 30c value. [08:58] sentiment: run sudo sensors-detect to look for more sensors https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-check-cpu-temperature-on-ubuntu-linux/ [09:01] toddc: I have. Still two sensors. [09:01] and that's not my question. [09:04] I'm inclined to disable the automatic shutdown because it seems like a software bug. [09:07] shadow_master_: if you're back on 20.04, see whether the oem kernel fixes it. [09:07] sentiment: k [09:08] sentiment: that ACPI thermal zone should show up under /sys/class/thermal/ -- be good to check what values its nodes show [09:09] yeah, I've checked that as well, no difference. [09:09] I may post this question on the Ubuntu forum. [09:09] sentiment: what nodes/values does it report? it looks likely one of them is generating spurious values [09:10] thermal_zone0 [09:11] sentiment: see "man thermal-conf.xml" and "man thermald" [09:12] oh os I neeoh so i need to use custom config? [09:12] I've glanced over that file but I thought it was unneeded... [09:13] anyways thanks [09:24] Alkisg, you here? [09:26] tomreyn : im a beginner , can you tell me exactly what should i do ? [09:26] Thaurwylth, yup although from phone [09:29] shadow_master_: sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-oem && sudo apt purge linux-generic-hwe-* [09:29] shadow_master_: do you see those triangles on the greeter screen, before logging in the user? [09:30] shadow_master_: and reboot afterwards. but check with TJ- first, he's got more of a clue than i do. [09:31] tomreyn: as it appears to hit 2 different installs I'm wondering if common $USER configs have been carried over - else i t makes no sense if MS Windows is fine [09:32] tomreyn: although... there's another explanation. original 20.04 had the pre-HWE kernel. 21.04 has newer kernel with problem. Reinstall fo 20.04 comes with newer HWE kernel (same version as 21.04) [09:32] shadow_master_: do you have a record of what kernel version was in use for the original 20.04? [09:34] Alkisg, do you have something to say about my journalctl output? [09:36] TJ-: that's a good theory there. [09:36] TJ: your first question: no , i just see it when i run any program other than system programs [09:36] Thaurwylth, can you repaste it? I can't scroll up that much [09:37] shadow_master_, create a new user and login there, to see if its a system issue or a user settings issue [09:37] https://pastebin.com/w6sG5Z16 [09:40] shadow_master_: OK, as alkisg suggests, try a new user account - it sounds like some $USER config created whilst running 21.04 is affecting 20.04 too [09:40] TJ: second: yes, you can see all information in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1930279 [09:40] Launchpad bug 1930279 in mesa (Ubuntu) "[Ivy Bridge] flashing sliced triangles on screen" [Undecided, New] [09:43] Thaurwylth, do you have many desktop environments installed, or is that plain kubuntu? [09:43] This message might be an issue: No agents were available for this request [09:43] U. Studio, which is today Plasma/KDE based. But that's the only one. [09:46] Well, yeah, that same line also has the 'no secrets' message. And 'Couldn'ty get secrets' is also the human readable error message that appears as a system prompt on the graphical interface. [09:46] I would test with a livecd (ubuntu mate is a good choice, it has vanilla network-manager and nm-applet), to make sure its an installation misconfiguration issue [09:48] I only have Studio 21.04 easily available, everything else is going to take some time. [09:48] Anyways, it is important to note that nothing on the system has changed since May, apart from a probable sudo apt full-upgrade resulting in a slightly newer Ubuntu kernel. [09:49] Thaurwylth: is kwallet installed? [09:49] Try to google about nmcli, it allows connecting to wifi while providing the password in the command line [09:50] Yeh kwallet or some similar agent missing sounds probable [09:50] !info kwalletmanager | Thaurwylth [09:50] Thaurwylth: kwalletmanager (4:20.12.3-0ubuntu1, hirsute): secure password wallet manager.

[09:52] kwalletmanager/hirsute,now 4:20.12.3-0ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic] [09:53] I have actually never entered password into KWallet and I have wondered what it does. Is it supposed to be in use? [09:53] Thaurwylth: try starting the manager GUI ... that may give you a clue. My guess is you've changed passwords and it it has become desynced from the wallet, so the wallet isn't unlocking [09:54] Thaurwylth: generally the wallet password is set when the user first sets their Linux user account password [09:54] Thaurwylth: sometimes, after changing the user password, they don't get synced and the wallet remains locked [09:54] Thaurwylth: this may not be your issue but it is a common thing [09:55] Error Code 9 - possibly wrong password [Translation.] [09:55] Thaurwylth: have you altered your user login password since the account was created? [09:55] Yes. [09:56] Thaurwylth: do you recall what tool you used? I know when done from the shell with 'passwd' wallet/secrets libraries don't usually get updated [09:56] Yes, passwd. [09:56] Thaurwylth: to access the manager you'll need to be able to recall, and enter, the original password [09:57] Thaurwylth: ** enter into the wallet manager's password prompt [09:57] Argh! Luckily I remember it, but this is seriously annoying. Can't be helped, I guess. === denningsrogue8 is now known as denningsrogue [09:57] Thaurwylth: yes, it is not an obvious side-effect of 'convenience' of the passwords being silently synced originally, and the user not being warned [10:00] Now my wireless connection works. Thank you. [10:01] A side note: the password it accepted was not the original one but the one I had changed to in the middle. [10:01] I mean I have had two passwords since the creation of the system. [10:03] Thaurwylth: I'd guess your 1st password change was done using the GUI tooling, which generally 'knows' about the linkage to the wallet [10:04] whereas 'passwd' is the low-level system tool with no knowledge of desktop environments and GUIs [10:04] I am 95 % sure I did both of them with passwd. [10:04] Thaurwylth: ahh well, at least it is fixed now [10:04] (until next time!) [10:05] Yay for getting it fixed!

[10:42] ilmais1n: well, it still has its uses. what does not work for you? [10:46] ilmais1n: BIOS version 4702 changelog states "2.Fixed onboard & add-on VGA card compatibility issue." [11:25] alkisq: i can't believe it , it has finally fixed , i did boot ubuntu on 5.4 and it fixed but it is still a bug for 5.8. thank you so much alkisq [11:26] It's a g.

When I use the bluetooth or airplane mode keys on my thinkpad t470, fn-f10 and fn-f8, these don't switch on and off, only off. using rfkill manually works as expected. apparently these keys are not handled by the os directly, at least xev does not shows any keypress, so I don't know where to look for logs. [11:31] ubuntu 21.04 [11:35] Is this related to the reported issue of the keyboard sending, uh, somethingsomething message code above 255? [11:36] I heard about this yesterday, here on this channel: https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~klada/?site=projects&id=logitechkbd [11:36] Thaurwylth: i doubt it, it's more like reacting to the rfkill state coming from bios/HW, but let me check. after all my problem is that I don't know how this called :) [11:48] not even evtest shows any keyboard activity when i press fn-f10, but bluetooth gets disabled. And gets disabled again and again, without any enabling. [11:49] Hi folks.

[14:59] brokenscript: use a fresh user profile for firefox [15:05] tomreyn; I can but you just pointed me to where the problem is, I have/had scaling on the laptop display set to 125% ... when I set it to 100% I no longer have the problem! [15:05] so both now at 100% [15:06] tomreyn; I'm happy to call that a fix and I'll rejig the display sized through other means, if required [15:06] wb bro (kenscript) [15:06] tomreyn; thanks for your patience and efforts and help on this one [15:16] Nokaji: hah, glad you worked it out! [15:23] tomreyn; I notice I can also adjust where that barrier is by shifting the relationship on the graphic, showing two monitors side by side, e.g. I can have that hurdle/barrier at the top, instead ... anyway, v. glad to have resolved it [15:26] Nokaji: i'm glad YOU did. ;-) [15:31] i created a new profile in firefox. did not seem to help. the artefacts are still there. i did a refresh of firefox. did not seem to help. lspci gives me this: https://pastebin.com/dqujUg7z ; lsmod gives me this: https://pastebin.com/qfQWe6jv [15:41] i have gone to FireFox troubleshooting mode. and now? [15:42] int FF troubleshoot mode there are no artefacts in the marked text. and no artefacts in symbols [15:45] i have gone to FF truobleshoot, check. posted modules and graphic card, check. tried creating new profile, check. and have done a refresh of FF. what else can i do? [15:45] brokenscript, turn off gfx.web all in about:config to see if that helps. [15:48] the problem with the artefacts is not present in troubleshoot mode. to check if it helped, i have to go back to normal mode === blackest_mamba_ is now known as blackest_mamba [15:51] in about:config i have: gfx.webrender.all is it that what you mean jailbreak? it was set to "false" to begin with [15:57] brokenscript, search for force disable gfx.webrender.all [15:58] brokenscript, make sure to exit ff and re-open to see if it helps. [15:59] 3 lines, exit. [16:01] search for force disable gfx.webrender.all ??? what do i serch for? [16:01] *search [16:04] gfx.webrender.all is set to "false" to begin with. ican set it to true and then to false again. what else could i do with it? [16:07] brokenscript, Troubleshoot Mode turns off hardware acceleration , features and customizations so i'd start from them; if it 's an Intel bug (sna/uxa) you should have errors in your syslog/dmesg [16:07] wb brokenscript [16:07] I have gfx.webrender.all true on ubuntu, what hardware? [16:08] intel [16:08] https://pastebin.com/qfQWe6jv lsmod [16:08] brokenscript, Troubleshoot Mode turns off hardware acceleration , features and customizations so i'd start from them; if it 's an Intel bug (sna/uxa) you should have errors in your syslog/dmesg [16:08] https://pastebin.com/dqujUg7z lspci [16:11] i have turned gfx.webrender.all to "true" and back to "fals2. then i have restarted FF in troubleshoot mode. and restarted again in normal mode. the artefacts are there in normal mode. i have to go ask what a syslog/dmesg is [16:12] brokenscript, it's really not hard mate. just disable force acceleration. I don't know the exact name (google will) but search for web.render.force.disable or something iirc. [16:13] sec let me ss. [16:13] brokenscript, there you go: https://i.postimg.cc/L4cQkTxM/Screenshot-from-2021-07-03-17-13-24.png [16:14] disable that, fully exit FF and re-open. see if it still happens. [16:15] thx. will do [16:15] jailbreak: out of curiosity, what are you using for your i3status? [16:16] ThinkT510, custom. [16:16] jailbreak: looks good [16:20] thank you very much. i have set gfx.webrender.force-disabled to "true" and then restarted. the artefacts are gone. thank you jailbreak. does it have any sideeffects? [16:27] brokenscript: *If* (I'm not sure) it disables hardware rendering, it would slow down rendering. Maybe break some webpages, dunno. [16:29] if it is just slower, then i am happy with that. if it "breaks" websites, then hopefully i will remember, that i changed this setting. [16:30] thank you all for yor help and for your time. [16:30] *your [17:41] does anyone know what gsettings set command is needed in order to set the dark version of a GTK theme? [18:02] mrus: no, but you can run `dconf watch /`, do the change, and see the key in the output of dconf === Avago_Broadqual3 is now known as Avago_Broadqual [18:48] 2 [18:48] !paste [18:48] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

My USB keyboard works fine. I've tried multiple ports. [19:00] The tablet reacts with a loading popup [19:01] I'm running a minimal window manager, openbsd-cwm. Hm. mtp-detect detects nothing. [19:01] fdisk -l doesn't show it either. Maybe I'll reboot the tablet and see. [19:02] change the usb setting on the tablet.... [19:02] udevadm monitor [19:02] Is the strongest there is. Like hulk [19:02] alkisg: no such package? [19:02] Oh, it's installed [19:03] Mekaneck: Running with debug on, on usb [19:05] Really weird, udevadm shows *nothing* when plug in or out the tablet >< [19:05] Maybe go via router instead, wifi?

[20:22] something ubuntu related, ideally [20:26] "Public learning" xD [20:26] I'm done now, sorry [20:26] But, I prefer to solve my solution after I've found it. === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [20:30] Solve the solution? :) [20:31] oops [20:31] share* [20:48] Hi [21:04] Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 21.04 on my mom's laptop but I'm having weird screen "glitches" that makes it unusable. The whole screen is shaky/wavy. On the live USB I have no issue, this is only after installing Ubuntu and booting on it. [21:04] The laptop has an Nvidia graphic card, using ubuntu-driver autoinstall didn't solve the issue. [21:05] Try Lubuntu, its lighter-weight/faster [21:05] Similar in function [21:05] Guest when you boot the installer add the nomodeset option [21:06] toddc where do I add that? [21:07] Guest39: grub menu 1sec I am looking for a guide [21:09] !nomodeset [21:09] Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. [21:09] I just had a look at nomodset, is this to disable the graphic card ? [21:10] Guest yes it will just work with minimal grafics then after install you add the nivdia driver done [21:11] "nomodeset" is to temporarily disable "kernel mode setting", a mechanism used by the proprietary nvidia graphics driver for interfacing with the kernel. [21:11] it would enable you to install all the pending updates, which *may* make the proprietary graphics driver work properly on the next reboot [21:12] ok [21:14] Guest39: bios updates can also help with such problems. this command, run in a terminal window, would return your mainboard / laptop model and its current bios version: journalctl -b | grep DMI: [21:15] Guest39: when the grub menu come up during install press E and it open a new window to add teh nomoset option tehn do normal install and after reboot go to addl drivers and add teh nvidia [21:16] Edit my bad spelling [21:17] tomreyn, Bios is a bit old, from 2015, I might try updating it at some point [21:17] toddc, I'm still trying to get into the grub menu. Pressing Esc at startup takes me to grub command line [21:18] Guest39: e at grub menu not esc [21:19] I know, I can't get into the grub menu yet [21:19] Guest39: try holding shift [21:19] Did that too, no luck, I have UEFI [21:20] Guest39: are you booting from the install media? [21:20] nope, I installed to disk already [21:21] if you have no data it a bit easier to reinstall or if you can open the addl drivers and install the new nvidia driver that will work too [21:22]
