[00:06] boom, crackle, phizzies,//happy 4th! [00:26] **Help**: I got an Input/output error on one folder of my SD card [00:27] It's a folder containing a VM. Interestingly, `ls -l` shows problems only on .vbox file and .vbox-prev file [00:27] all other folders seem to be intact [00:31] how can I disable ssh path autocomplete? [00:38] Workaround: Luckily only a text file was affected and I had a backup. This is a deadly bug ... [01:44] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [01:45] DarkTrick, an active vm on a SD card, i would say highly unreliable.. [02:05] in a terminal, if i copy a long line of text inside screen it copies unwanted line breaks. is there a fix? [02:09] question for #linux perhaps dw1 ? [02:10] cat -v .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline [02:11] yeah i asked there thx [02:14] i recently reinstalled firefox on 20.04 and im having 100% cpu spikes on both normal browsing and private windows https://imgur.com/a/UyYrfOe [02:15] but its more on random, cant really reproduce it yet, about:performance shows both addons privacy badger & ublock ontop [02:17] lotuspsychje, is this because of preload? [02:17] never had issues with preload before, it all started happen after a fresh FF reinstall [02:18] 20.6 G data from one process childID3 ... [02:18] and i wiped the FF folders in /home too before reinstall, so im puzzled [02:19] what pages do you have open? [02:19] tested a few different, like gmail, youtube [02:19] it doesnt seems to influence [02:20] once the cpu spikes rise, i have to close FF [02:20] individual new tabs cant fix it [02:21] tryed disabling my 2 fav addons, darkreader and addtoany but no dice neither [02:25] i wonder if its privacy badger and ublock making FF work more by default? [02:43] hi guys. my current setup is ubuntu vm, win10 host with samba for file access. I can ping from host -> vm but when I try pinging from vm, it says "temporary failure in name resolution". I tried nmblookup and it works. I can also ping the host's IP. [03:23] lupi: you need the VM guest setup with a bridged network interface, not NAT as is usually the default. This is done though your VM software running on Windows [03:37] All of a sudden ubuntu won't boot anymore, after the bios splash screen I can choose between "ubuntu" and "windows boot manager", but when I select either, then nothing happens [03:37] And it doesn't look like grub [03:40] I haven't configured dual boot [03:42] pagnol: you can upload a screenshot if you want; you could also boot via a live cd in order to fix it [03:46] alkisg: https://ibb.co/K9TbLTQ [03:47] Currently dont have access to a second computer to prepare a usb stick unfortunately [03:47] Otherwise I would've just done that [03:48] Yeah this looks like an UEFI firmware boot manager (UEFI is the "new BIOS") [03:49] And what happens if you select ubuntu, does it show grub? [03:49] Absolutely nothing happens [03:49] It remains in the blue dialog, or it shows a black screen? [03:49] Whichever I select, nothing happens [03:50] The screen remains unchanged [03:50] leftyfb yes I have bridged setup. I can ping the IP, but can't ping the host's hostname. I can ping the vm's hostname from host though. [03:50] pagnol: if you press there, do you see the "app menu"? [03:50] lupi: what nameserver(s) is the guest using? [03:51] alkisg: https://ibb.co/kyT1JFb [03:52] leftyfb `/etc/resolv.conf` has this "nameserver 127.0.0.53" [03:52] nslookup shows 127.0.0.53 too [03:53] lupi: systemd-resolve --status|grep "DNS Servers" | nc termbin.com 9999 [03:53] leftyfb 8.8.8.8 [03:53] lupi: and there's your problem [03:53] pagnol: and can you enter setup if you press enter at that point? [03:54] lupi: google's DNS servers do not know how to resolve your guest or hosts ip's [03:54] Yes but its just the regular bios setup [03:55] lupi: if you want to be able to resolve local hostnames on your network then your clients should be using ONLY your routers ip address as DNS (or local DNS server if you have one) [03:55] leftyfb like 192.168.1.1? [03:55] lupi: yes [03:55] pagnol: inside setup, try to disable secure boot, in case something went wrong with that. But unfortunately you'll most probably need a live cd. [03:55] lupi: then let your router forward DNS requests out to whatever public DNS server you have configured on the WAN side [03:56] alkisg: I will try that thank you [03:56] I tried "nslookup myhostname 192.168.1.1" and it did not work. It said "server can't find myhostname: NXDOMAIN" [03:57] Also, I thought it would work since I can ping from the host's. "ping myvm" works [03:58] alkisg: secure boot is actually disabled already [03:58] lupi: your VM software probably setup it's own DNS lookup for guests locally [03:58] lupi: if your router isn't resolving local hostnames, that is something you'll have to address with your router. Maybe try #hardware or #networking [03:59] lupi: what ip address does your guest have? [03:59] vm 192.168.1.57, host 192.168.1.81, router is 192.168.1.1 [04:00] lupi: can you ping the ip of the guest from another machine on the network (not the host)? [04:01] lupi: DNS resolution is for the internet. For local hostnames, you either use zeroconf (ping myname.local) or winbind (ping myname) [04:01] leftyfb I can ping the hostname and ip from another machine [04:02] I haven't read the whole thread. The problem is from windows to ubuntu, or the opposite? [04:02] alkisg the opposite [04:02] alkisg: DNS resolution is for DNS resolution, regardless of the class of network [04:02] Do you have the winbind package installed? [04:02] dpkg -l winbind [04:03] alkisg winbind is ii [04:03] leftyfb: please read the avahi-browser and winbind package descriptions to see how these protocols help in name resolution in local networks where no authoritative dns server exists [04:04] alkisg: all home routers have local DNS built in. [04:04] alkisg I thought smb and nmb will handle it altogether already [04:04] lupi: samba is not for DNS [04:04] I mean, because the clients will belong to the same workgroup or something. [04:05] alkisg: also, not everything supports zeroconf and winbind is a poor substitute for DNS [04:06] lupi: samba/SMB/CIFS are filesharing protocols, not DNS. [04:06] also, "wins support" is enabled in smb.conf if that helps [04:06] leftyfb: DNS means A records. Cheap routers don't have an interface for that, and users don't go to that interface to declare their clients anyway. SOME dhcp clients can send the local hostname when doing a DHCP request, and SOME dhcp servers may accept it. [04:07] :/ [04:07] So in SOME cases the local router will know the hostnames, but this isn't always the case. Avahi and winbind were invented to address the lack of DNS in such LANs [04:08] lupi: can you ping the windows pc, using its hostname, from any other device? [04:08] (checking if the windows connection is "public" or "home" etc) [04:09] the machines can ping each other and the vm. the vm cannot ping the hostnames outside but can ping the ip's [04:09] current network is public btw. [04:10] The other machine is also windows? [04:10] yep [04:10] im using virtualbox. network is bridged. [04:12] lupi: change the DHCP settings on your router so that clints get 192.168.1.1 for their DNS, not 8.8.8.8 [04:12] lupi, do you have wins in your /etc/nsswitch.conf? https://askubuntu.com/questions/27541/why-cant-my-machine-resolve-local-windows-hostnames [04:12] lupi: i the meantime, you can try setting the DNS of your guest to 192.168.1.1 temporarily to test [04:13] You can test if your router knows the windows pcs by: host windows-hostname 192.168.1.1 [04:16] alkisg oh crap. you mean do it from the router? I still have this shitty router. but I'll try what leftyfb said [04:16] lupi: you can do this on the guest manually to test [04:16] lupi: no, I mean if you run the `host` command from linux, then it will ask your router if it knows the windows hostnames [04:16] oh ok wait [04:16] So that you'll know that IF you change your dns, if it'll work or not [04:16] lupi: a quick way is to change /etc/resolv.conf to "nameserver 192.168.1.1" [04:17] While e.g. if your windows PCs have static IPs, that certainly won't work, as they don't do DHCP requests and they don't send their hostname at all [04:17] lupi: (temporary) [04:17] (or if your router dhcp server doesn't support hostname registration) [04:17] welp. host not found NXDOMAIN [04:17] no machine uses static ips [04:18] lupi: what model router? [04:18] OK, it appears your router doesn't support hostname registrations so its DNS doesn't know the windows PCs, you need to use wins. Do you have wins in nsswitch.conf? [04:19] It's ISP owned. I think it's huawei "EchoLife HG8145V" leftyfb [04:19] alkisg I dont have it. I think, I tried adding winbind already but it did not work (I restarted) [04:20] alkisg I'll try "wins". I tried "winbind" before [04:20] lupi: also try these: ping hostname-lowercase; ping HOSTNAME-UPPERCASE; ping hostname-lowercase.local; ping HOSTNAME-UPPERCASE.local [04:21] I'm not sure if recent windows registers itself in zeroconf apart from wins, and if it does, if it's resolved using .local like usually, or not [04:21] alkisg I added "wins" on host, now it's giving me "System error" when I ping [04:22] Let me boot a windows vm to test, it'll be quicker... [04:22] ok. thank you [04:23] lupi: in the mean time please remove wins and try the pings I mentioned above [04:23] or search for the windows hostnames in the output of: avahi-browse -trap [04:25] lupi: https://i.imgur.com/i7SNsUO.png [04:27] leftyfb oh yeah I was about to try that [04:32] [ +3,037578] vboxnetflt: 56862 out of 123254 packets were not sent (directed to host) [04:33] Ouch, zeroconf packets are multicasted and I think vbox can't handle them on the bridged interface [04:34] Yeah, https://serverfault.com/questions/563599/avahi-zeroconf-bonjour-service-in-bridged-virtualbox-sometimes-not-found-outsi === nyuszika7h_ is now known as nyuszika7h === LadyCailin[derp] is now known as LadyCailin [05:07] hi === mybalzit1h is now known as mybalzitch [05:08] I've installed 'Minetest' via Snap to Lubuntu [05:08] But it never launches when ran === noteness is now known as Guest6531 [05:12] what release of Lubuntu Guest9, do you get any messages when run from terminal?

[05:41] lupi: my use case was the opposite, real ubuntu and vm windows [05:42] So in my case, real ubuntu with real windows works; in your case, vm ubuntu with vm windows would work; yet vm <=> real doesn't work in any case [05:43] That's with the default name resolution, which is zeroconf. Note that if your router supports dhcp name registrations, then you should be able to do what leftyfb said, [05:43] although you reported that `host name 192.168.1.1` didn't work, so it either doesn't support dhcp registrations at all, or it's not enabled [05:44] ooh ok thank you! maybe I should leave it for now, the important thing is I can access the vm from the host [05:46] There might be a workaround to make virtualbox NOT drop the multicasted traffic, but it would require asking in #vbox... if it was not problematic it would be enabled by default, so I'm not sure it's worth exploring... === OkayPJ1 is now known as OkayPJ [06:34] hello, anybody knows why even with max con 20.000 my sockets number on haproxy stops at 4100 on Ubuntu 18.04 ?

[09:47] $ cat /etc/resolv.conf [09:47] nameserver 127.0.0.53 [09:47] options edns0 trust-ad [09:47] Changing the DNS server for the wifi connection to, for example, 8.8.8.8, has no effect, and the same problem applies to all wifi connections, even new ones. [09:47] Would be very grateful for any pointers. [10:03] AndroUser: nameserver 127.0.0.53 ???? should be 127.0.0.1:53 right? [10:03] aka 127.0.0.1 only in resolv conf [10:04] no, i have the same on my bionic 20.04 [10:04] jushur: possibly a typo. Copying everything to my phone to do this IRC! [10:04] Aah [10:04] systemd-resolve --status|grep "DNS Servers" gives your router dns [10:05] Cool. One moment. Was just rebooting. [10:05] 127.0.0.53 is systemd-resolved, it's not a typo there [10:07] k, ignore my ask then AndroUser , seems to be the Ubuntu config is such. [10:08] so, change DNS in your router? [10:09] Yeah, so my router DNS is apparently "::1". Could this be right?! [10:11] The thing is, other devices using the same router (including the one I am using for this chat) are fine. [10:12] that::1 looks like a IPv6 dns [10:12] Good point. [10:13] AndroUser: what's the output of: systemd-resolve --status | grep -A3 'DNS Server' [10:13] 0% packet loss .. so there is nothing failing [10:13] And of this, but do set the correct ethernet name: /usr/lib/klibc/bin/ipconfig -n enp2s0 [10:13] (the second one needs sudo but does no changes) [10:14] alkisg: Current DNS Server: ::1 [10:14] Just "current", there are no other lines? [10:14] No ipv4? [10:15] not the behaviour of an ubuntu box... [10:15] DNS Servers: ::1 [10:15] DNS Domain: ~ [10:16] Let's start with the output of ipconfig first. You can also use termbin if you want: sudo /usr/lib/klibc/bin/ipconfig -n enp2s0 | nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [10:16] Do replace enp2s0 with your ethernet name [10:16] This will show us what your router configuration is, if it sends the correct DNS to the DHCP clients [10:16] (that command upload the output to termbin.com/some-url) [10:16] So you can just tell us that url [10:17] Been trying things l [10:17] ... ike that, but hobbled by having to use my phone. One minute [10:20] Also upload the output of `nmcli | nc 5.39.93.71 9999`. If you want to hide things like IPs (which shouldn't matter since they're locall), you can use `command > /tmp/out.txt`, then edit out.txt, then use `cat /tmp/out.txt | nc 5.39.93.71 9999` [10:21] Finally you can just bypass the problem by putting `nameserver 8.8.8.8` in /etc/resolv.conf, but then we won't know what caused it :) [10:25] Thanks. LOL, having to use termbin by direct IP address! Anyway: https://termbin.com/zy9dc [10:25] Have I somehow lost IPv4? [10:25] Doing other command in a moment... [10:27] https://termbin.com/t0o9 [10:29] so there is a lot more going on, docker, vpn on IPv6... [10:30] If "ipv6leakintrf0" means "protonvpn", then that VPN software might be affecting a lot of things; you should start with that [10:30] AndroUser, what happens if you disable the vpn? [10:32] Yes, I was wondering if there might be something there, as the problem occurred around the time of first using Proton. VPN isn't supposed to be running at the moment though. [10:34] Can't even start Proton VPN to look at it as I guess it is stalling on DNS lookups for the various VPN servers. [10:36] sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf; put `nameserver 8.8.8.8` there as a temporary workaround; then fix the protonvpn issues [10:36] afk, back later [10:38] Thanks so much! [11:28] alkisg: seems the DNS problem was that a crash had left some of the ProtonVPN stuff behind even when not running ProtonVPN. Restarting it and shutting down clearly seems to have done it. Thanks again for your help.

[12:38] that's not a ubuntu support question imho IRCMonkey [12:39] mijora1, well, ifupdown is gone from 20.04 ... netplan acts as frontend to systemd-networkd and to the network-manager backend ... you could try to configure systemd-networkd directly instead of using netplan but i dont think you can easily re-integrate ifupdown [12:39] Why do ubuntu devs put packages that pretty much require a GPU without GPU support?

[12:40] there is no legal way of sipping CUDA in the distro ... and you can not link against something that is not there [12:41] many distros have begun shipping their images with nvidia drivers [12:41] right? [12:41] nt with CUDA [12:41] nvidia does not permit that [12:41] Can't we just have a script that auto downloads it?

[12:45] sorry didnt see that, im trying to setup a ubuntu VM on a ovh server - not a desktop machine, should i not be using that edition? [12:50] mijora1, ok; so yes, you can use /e/n/i on 20.04 serv.; but you need to install ifupdown, resolvconf, reconfigure systedm-resolved,backup the netplan config files, probably disable predictable net intefaces names and disable cloud-init if you want a static interface [12:51] mijora1, a bit of work [12:52] ouch. would be easier if i could connect to the internet to install [12:53] Hi all [12:53] never had this issue before, what a pain in the a55 [13:05] Mekaneck » Oh O.K.

[13:39] * alkisg is using ifupdown in ubuntu-server 20.04 without resolvconf and without disabling predictable interface names [13:43] anyone? [13:47] Hi. I'm trying to find out with what configure options package "xterm" was built on Ubuntu 21.04 - I've uncommented deb-src repos in /etc/apt/sources.list, did 'apt update' and tried to get the sources with 'apt-get source xterm' with error message "E: Unable to find a source package for xterm" [13:48] I'm confused here and would be grateful for help. === leftyfb_ is now known as leftyfb [13:50] tha: it's part of the universe repository. You need to enable that and it's deb-src [13:53] leftyfb: thank you kindly. That was it. [13:55] Is there any command that could help me find which package is in which deb-src repo in the future? [13:57] tha: it's probably easiest to inspect the build logs oh Launchpad, unless you also need to reproduce the build yourself. Start from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm, click on 361-1ubuntu3 to get to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/361-1ubuntu3, then on amd64, then on buildlog. [13:57] That takes you to https://launchpadlibrarian.net/524512634/buildlog_ubuntu-hirsute-amd64.xterm_361-1ubuntu3_BUILDING.txt.gz, and you can search that for "configure" to see exactly how the configure script was called. [14:00] rbasak: that's even better than fetching sources, thanks [14:03] when I comment out deb-src entries in the sources.list file and do 'apt update', will it remove deb-src repo's metadata, or should it be done manually? [14:47] Hi, since a week or so my system runs fsck on every boot (20.04). Anyone an idea what could cause this, and how to fix it. I use the regular shutdown [14:47] There seems to be an error message when shutting down about not being able to umount but it is gone before I can read it, and I couldn't find it in the log [14:50] eFfeM, check your /etc/fstab [14:53] ioria: nothing special in fstab [14:55] eFfeM, inspect your journal ; e.g. journalctl -b -1| grep mount [14:57] ioria: that's a good one, didn't think of that, odd results: only from jun 28 although the system was used yesterday [14:58] eFfeM, no wait ... -1 mean last boot [14:58] eFfeM, if you want today boot , use -0 [14:58] ah ok [15:00] ioria: that also looks sound to me: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VJVf4hS6wB/ [15:01] eFfeM, probably you have / had something connected 8usb ? ) and mounted in /mdia ? [15:01] */media [15:02] ioria: no usb stuff mounted, I do have a 2nd internal HD that mounts on /media, but it is there already for quite a long time [15:02] so those /media/fmeulenbroeks/ * partitions are automounted? or in fstab? [15:03] ioria: log also says: jul 04 12:53:29 m4 systemd[1]: Reached target Unmount All Filesystems. [15:03] if so in fstab, use /mnt/ for that, and leave .media for automount hdd/sd cards and such [15:03] eFfeM, mountpoint /media/fmeulenbroeks/MediaDisk6 is invalid, cannot recover the canonical path [15:04] eFfeM, /media is for removable devices (generally speaking) [15:04] ioria: good catch, this is the internal 2nd harddisk, I figured it would be good since after that I got: [15:04] jul 04 12:53:34 m4 systemd[1]: Finished Clean the /media/fmeulenbroeks/MediaDisk6 mount point. [15:05] wortf a check if those partitions are error free, fsck [15:05] The system originally came with a HD, but I upgraded it with an ssd and kept the original HD to store my photo collection [15:05] eFfeM, do you have some kernel parameter set ? cat /proc/cmdline [15:06] ioria: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-77-generic root=UUID=dc9bf88d-6cbb-4343-ba02-12853c2aee15 ro quiet splash [15:06] eFfeM, mount | pastebinit [15:06] oerheks: I ran an fsck on MediaDisk6, no problems found [15:07] ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Y922w8gHVK/ [15:07] note that I umounted /dev/sdc8 (that is the disk that was mounted on /media/fmeulenbroeks/MediaDisk6 [15:08] actually this is a 3 disk system, /dev/sda is an ssd with windows on it, /dev/sdb is an ssd with linux on it and /dev/sdc is the media harddisk [15:09] and there are still the old linux partitions on /dev/sdc, kept them when I migrated to ssd as a fallback scenarion and never removed them [15:10] (actually there is even a windows partition on that HD [15:11] elo [15:11] question, how to i set the default playback(output) device in ubuntu 20.04? [15:11] i come backl and this piece of crap always puts my wireless speaker but i want HDMI as default [15:11] i dont find anything in the settings / soundpanel, but i do remember i have set it somewhere before [15:12] sdb3 and sdc6 are faulty,... [15:13] oerheks: I didn't read that from the logs, I'm now fsck-ing /dev/sdc6 [15:14] I would have expected the fsck after a reboot to have fixed things [15:14] eFfeM, and are those partitions automounted, or noted in your Fstab? [15:14] eFfeM, how do you mount those partitions ? manually ? [15:14] no automount [15:14] this is my fstab [15:14] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3392fyW2tZ/ [15:15] eFfeM, meaning exactly ? [15:15] fsck on /dev/sdc6 reveals no problems [15:16] eFfeM, what you mean exactly with 'automount' ? [15:16] ioria: / /home and /home.old are mounted via fstab, Mediadisk6: I have no idea [15:16] you have no idea ? [15:16] I don't issue manual mount commands for that disk [15:18] oerheks: sdb3 is my /home, I cannot check it for errors now [15:19] oerheks: what made you come to the conclusion that those partitions are bad (I want to learn :-) ) [15:19] eFfeM, if the drive is NOT removable, i suggest to configure fstab (Disks will do it for you) and choose another mout point (not (media i mean) [15:19] afk [15:23] from your log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VJVf4hS6wB/ line #8 #9 [15:24] ioria: thanks [15:24] there is one or more partitions faulty, not sure why that happens. [15:25] oerheks: hmm, I figured that line means that it will mount ro if an error occurs, but those partitions are not mounted ro [15:26] thinking of it, I had a PC issue a week ago and I had to reset the bios, but afaik I properly restored all settings (mostly defaults anyway) [15:26] I've seen such behavior before when the system actually unpowered itself before the disk was able to physically write/flush all data [15:27] anyway, I'll try to umount all partitions that I can manually and see if that changes anything [15:27] back in a bit [15:27] eFfeM, do this from a live iso [15:28] yeah, need to download one, will do so during dinner [15:31] oerheks: unfortunately umounting all but / and /home then rebooting did not help. [15:31] I see a message flashing by about umounting failing (device not ready) or something like that but the message is gone too fast [15:32] this is on shutdown, I was wondering if I could find that message somewhere in the log [15:37] ok, afk for a while, thanks all for your help! === TiZ1 is now known as TiZ [16:22] Yo!!! [16:22] If I'm formating a 320 GB external hdd for use with Windows and Ubuntu (and friends' computers), is the most portable option still NTFS, or is there something better?
