| DarkTrick | This is a very recently (since 21.04) supported SD card; I could imagine this is some kind of driver bug | 07:51 |

| DarkTrick | ducasse, good to know | 08:07 |
| weedmic | SD cards wear out (hence why we use mostly spinning discs - which we have yet to hve a 10tb one break - not even one) | 08:07 |
| Sa_arc | omg .....i had to run apt update first.... | 08:10 |
| Sa_arc | worx now thx | 08:10 |
| DarkTrick | weedmic, the SD card is in use for about 3 month... | 08:15 |
| weedmic | they can only be written to a certain number of times, then they die. when created (on linux), one can leave 10-20% unassigned, then the OS will replace bad spots with those unassigned ones, giving it the "look" of lasting longer. Unless you used that SD for something very not dynamic, it will wear out. like rfm stated, test it. then you'll know | 08:18 |
| weedmic | nice to hear Sa_arc | 08:19 |
| DarkTrick | weedmic, I'm running a VM on it... | 08:20 |
| Sa_arc | @weedmic, while i am thinking about this, its weird to even get in the state in first place..you have the correct repo, there are no problems reported, and it just serves your corrupt content...with exitcode 0 :) | 08:22 |
| weedmic | DarkTrick: imho, the worst thing one can use an SD for (unless you know you need to replace it often), is a DataBase. It would seem to me that a VM changes constantly, but... you should ask another. | 08:31 |
| weedmic | Sa_arc: you english was beyond me (aka I did not grep your statement) | 08:31 |
| Sa_arc | @weedmic, no problem. I think it is strange that a apt update is needed before the system is able to get all the packages. | 08:33 |
| Sa_arc | @weedmic, the system should be aware it local cache is not up to date and should issue a apt update or at least report it | 08:33 |
| Sa_arc | @weedmic, imho | 08:34 |
| weedmic | oic - you can do network installs - where you connect via ip at boot, then it downloads files actually needed as you go - but... except for some very old motorola box for apple, i've never like it that way. | 08:34 |
| weedmic | maybe the update was the "list" - english uses the same word for so many meanings. | 08:35 |
| Sa_arc | @weedmic, most of the time i am using os that are using rpm/yum. So my dpkg/apt is kinda rusty :) | 08:37 |
| DarkTrick | weedmic, but shouldn't an SD card be like an ssd drive? and VMs work on SSD drives just fine | 08:39 |
| weedmic | ssd wears out too. y not test it? clonezilla it to something else (a device or file), then put it in a tester. | 08:41 |
| weedmic | soz - posted in wrong place - search for this in google "how do you test a hdd in ubuntu" and read the popup instrucitons. >DarkTrick | 08:48 |
| DarkTrick | weedmic, well.. I'm actually running a VM on an SSD for 5 years every day and never had a problem... | 08:50 |

| sixwheeledbeast | sd cards don't have the same protection from wear leveling as ssd | 09:25 |
| DarkTrick | smart status "unknown" | 09:25 |

| DarkTrick | weedmic, how do I turn smart on? | 09:28 |
| weedmic | give me a min - i might a bit busy atm | 09:29 |

| oerheks | oh again kubuntu on top of server? | 16:28 |
| athena_ | So I was told to use Kubuntu. But it's been imposslbe to install Drupal using the instructions in Kubuntu | 16:28 |
| oerheks | boring.. | 16:28 |
| athena_ | Yes, that was me yesterday | 16:28 |
| oerheks | you have been told many solutions, athena_ | 16:28 |
| athena_ | Now I'm on Kubuntu proper | 16:28 |
| athena_ | I followed the last one. | 16:28 |
| athena_ | I am on Kubuntu. It doesn't work | 16:29 |
| athena_ | I didn't understand the solution you gave me to get the network working | 16:29 |
| athena_ | which is probably what I need | 16:29 |
| athena_ | from Ubuntu server with KDE or Kubuntu on top | 16:30 |
| athena_ | or gnome | 16:30 |
| athena_ | I've spent over 8 hours trying to install drupal on this system you suggested. | 16:30 |
| athena_ | It is different and teh dependencies are different. It doesn't work | 16:31 |
| lotuspsychje | athena_: its ok for you to experiment, but please focus on 1 question at the time here, instead of your whole story | 16:31 |
| athena_ | OK. How do I get the system to recognize a network card with internet on it, when the system doesn't see it. | 16:32 |
| athena_ | What tool can I use? | 16:32 |
| athena_ | DHCP can see it, but if I install the server version it doesn't do DHCP for my window manager | 16:32 |
| movah4c | hwinfo, lshw | 16:32 |
| lotuspsychje | athena_: sudo lshw -C network will show you your network devices + their drivers | 16:32 |
| athena_ | Or is there a Kubuntu version that is the same as the server version (ie LTS) | 16:34 |
| lotuspsychje | athena_: the same? | 16:35 |
| athena_ | but how can i get the drivers to work if my package manager won't recognize the internet connection I have? | 16:35 |
| athena_ | LTS | 16:35 |
| athena_ | basically the same code underneat with KDE on top | 16:36 |

| === keypushe- is now known as keypusher | ||
| athena_ | So is there support for getting my network card working if I try with the server version again? | 16:38 |
| athena_ | because I dont' know what to do with ther results of sudo lshw -c | 16:38 |
| athena_ | And the solution of loading Kubuntu doesn't work | 16:40 |
| athena_ | I think because Kubuntu doesn't have a LTS version | 16:40 |
| athena_ | That's my question | 16:42 |
| Mekaneck | seriously... installing Drupal on kubuntu should be the same as on ubuntu.... the base is ubuntu after all | 16:43 |
| athena_ | It isn't the LTS | 16:43 |
| athena_ | It has different code | 16:43 |
| athena_ | the directiosn were written for an LTS release | 16:43 |
| Mekaneck | athena_: Kubuntu has a lts version | 16:43 |
| alkisg | Install the LTS version then! | 16:43 |
| athena_ | on a server version | 16:43 |
| alkisg | It has the same kernel and it supports the same network drivers as the server edition | 16:43 |
| alkisg | Install kubuntu 20.04 LTS | 16:44 |
| Mekaneck | athena_: doesn't matter on which release i guide was written, the basics are still the same | 16:44 |
| athena_ | Well I've installed Apache. I've installed Mysql. But composer won't istall properly. | 16:45 |
| Mekaneck | ugh... it's beyond my knowledge | 16:45 |
| athena_ | (all installed from the command line to get teh same version as suggested) | 16:45 |
| Mekaneck | which guide did you actually use? | 16:46 |
| athena_ | I've tried a few. They all have you install Apache and MySQL. The one that is the most detailed is set up for Ubuntu server release LTS version | 16:47 |
| Mekaneck | sigh... which one | 16:47 |

| tomreyn | https://www.asus.com/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/KRPA-U16/specifications/ has 5 pci-e slots, the fastest are "PCI-E x16 (Gen3 X16 Link)" | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | so pci-e gen 3.0 vs 3.1, i do not actually know whether this matters. | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | i'm also unsure whether hdparm is the best / right tool to test this for nvme, i think it primarily targets HDDs. there are nvme-tools. | 18:15 |

| nyloc | tomreyn Thanks a lot for all the info, I will check the hints, but the NVME are connected via oculink and a riser card on the mobo ("Designed for higher storage throughput performance and storage responsiveness for advanced computing, KRPA-U16 features 12 NVMe solutions with six onboard Oculink ports via a PCIe x4 link and six additional Oculink | 18:29 |
| nyloc | ports via an ASUS riser card for faster data transfers.") | 18:29 |
| nyloc | And as hdparm reads directly from the block device I was thinking that it should not be that much off the advertised speed | 18:30 |
| nyloc | The only thing that I can think of is that the 6 oculink ports share the four pci lanes and are somehow only allowed a percentage on this so pci 3.0 4x = 4000 mb/s 4 devices connectes = 1gb/s per device. | 18:34 |
| nyloc | But I have no idea if this makes any sens | 18:34 |
| shimbles | useradd: Can't get unique UID (no more available UIDs) useradd: can't create user | 19:00 |
| shimbles | i have no clue as to how that could happen | 19:03 |
| shimbles | (no more available UIDs) | 19:03 |
| oerheks | use adduser? | 19:08 |
| oerheks | adduser is a buch of scripts around useradd binairy. | 19:08 |
| shimbles | oerheks part of the problem is that this is being called during sudo apt install tomcat9 | 19:08 |
| oerheks | c/bunch | 19:08 |
| shimbles | so i am looking at a manual install of tomcat to get around this, and manually adding the user, or using adduser instead of useradd yes | 19:09 |
| shimbles | i found no debugging path for this very strange bug | 19:09 |
| oerheks | using ubuntu packages? | 19:10 |
| shimbles | yes | 19:10 |
| shimbles | well, i manually created the user in /etc/{passwd,group,shadow,gshadow} and the tomcat9 package installed | 19:17 |
| cas_ | Hi, I have some problems with my 3g/4g usb dongle and internet, I've managed to get the hw and usb_modeswitch working and get an ip from the thing but I cannot ping anything. Tried various simcards on different networks so I expect it's some network configuration problem(s) | 19:20 |
| cas_ | I'm a little out of ideas, maybe someone has an idea what direction I can look into? Most stuff I find on the internet are the hw problems I passed already. | 19:20 |
| tomreyn | shimbles: that's not how you should be doing it, obsviously. it might be a workaround. it may have side effects. | 19:21 |
| tomreyn | the tomcat package would likely set up a tomcat system user + group. on debian derivatives such as ubuntu, system users and groups usually take uids/gids between 100 and 999. you can check (and change) this using grep _SYSTEM_.ID /etc/adduser.conf | 19:23 |
| oerheks | sudo snap install modem-manager https://snapcraft.io/modem-manager | 19:23 |
| oerheks | cas_, ^ | 19:23 |
| tomreyn | shimbles: check how many of those 100-999 UIDs are already taken: getent passwd | cut -d: -f3 | grep -Ec '^[0-9]{3}$' | 19:23 |
| tomreyn | shimbles: check how many of those 100-999 GIDs are already taken: getent passwd | cut -d: -f4 | grep -Ec '^[0-9]{3}$' | 19:24 |
| shimbles | 24; the error message seems to be a red herring of some sort | 19:24 |
| cas_ | oerheks: Thanks a lot, that I didn't try yet | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | if this system is retrieiving user accounts from a (corporate) network, this could easily fill them up. | 19:25 |
| shimbles | i might have installed something while installing deps for Qt that screwed with account creation on the system | 19:26 |
| tomreyn | (especially if that's predominnetly redhat deriviatives, which uses / assigns those UID/GID ranges differently by default) | 19:26 |
| tomreyn | well, hopefully you know what you'Re doing there. :) | 19:27 |
| shimbles | lol, well, there's always bash_history | 19:28 |
| tomreyn | yes, that'll let you know when you recursively deleted / | 19:28 |
| tomreyn | oh wait ;) | 19:28 |
| shimbles | i followed these very nice instructions for manually setting up tomcat; they worked. https://www.fosslinux.com/6586/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-9-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts.htm | 19:35 |
| shimbles | with the exception that i manually did user/group add to /etc/{passwd,group,shadow,gshadow} | 19:36 |
| cas_ | oerheks: no luck, it says no modems were found | 20:24 |
| tomreyn | cas_: snaps may need to be "connected" to some hardware to be allowed to talk to it (i can't guide you there, though). when you say "I cannot ping anything" - did you try reaching hostnames or ip addresses? did oyu try a traceroute, too? | 20:29 |
| cas_ | tomreyn: yeah, I try to ping 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, traceroute get stuck at my modem router ip | 20:30 |
| tomreyn | no need to ping then | 20:33 |
| tomreyn | it's indeed going to be a configuration issue then. | 20:34 |
| tomreyn | (or driver) | 20:35 |
| === juwain__ is now known as juwain_ | ||
| cas_ | digging into this snap "connected" issue | 20:35 |
| cas_ | I guess the driver is ok, since I have a device at `ip a` and even an ip | 20:36 |
| cas_ | but never setup a pin somewhere, it should be 0000 and see mmcli has some options to mangle with it. But since it says it has no modems I am stuck with that so far | 20:37 |
| cas_ | the modemmanager journal gives some errors about devices it does not support, but after wasting some time I guess it does this for every device it does not regonize | 20:38 |
| LordChaos | Hi, quick question. I've added some startup flags for Google Chrome (I'm on Wayland). But if I add Chrome to my favourites on the dock, it seems it starts Chrome without these flags by default. How can I fix this? | 20:43 |
| cas_ | LordChaos: try `alacarte` | 20:46 |
| tomreyn | LordChaos: cp /usr/share/applications/chrome.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/ then edit ~/.local/share/applications/chrome.desktop and run desktop-file-validate against it, then finally run desktop-file-install against it | 20:48 |
| LordChaos | cas_: I've used alacarte for this and the changes are reflected in ~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop | 20:48 |
| LordChaos | tomreyn: I've used desktop-file-validate against ~/.local/share/applications/chrome.desktop but it didn't help it seems | 20:50 |
| LordChaos | tomreyn: ah hold on | 20:50 |
| LordChaos | tomreyn: forgot deskop-file-install | 20:50 |
| LordChaos | What I forgot to mention, it works fine when launched using the launcher, just not from the dock | 20:52 |
| tomreyn | logout + login will likely help there? there is probably an easier way that i don't know. | 20:53 |
| cas_ | maybe dragging the launcher again in the dock also helps | 20:53 |
| LordChaos | Okay let me try this | 20:54 |
| * cas_ always had some troubles with launchers in gnome | 20:54 | |
| LordChaos | Unfortunately that didn't help | 20:56 |
| LordChaos | Which is totally weird since the flags are now also visible in /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop | 20:58 |
| oerheks | cas maybe there is some setting in software>installed>modem-manager>permissions | 20:58 |
| LordChaos | So...I'm totally confused by this...when I launch Chrome from the launcher the flags I've set are honoured. When I launch Chrome from the dock or application menu, they're not. | 21:21 |
| LordChaos | What's happening here? | 21:21 |
| oerheks | " the flags I've set are honoured" ?? | 21:22 |
| oerheks | i think if you add to the dock, it uses the launcher not in your home folder.. | 21:24 |
| bsmith093 | ncdu 0 items but the apparent size is non-zero?! | 21:28 |
| bsmith093 | no hidden stuf either | 21:28 |
| LordChaos | oerheks: I've set some startup flags for Chrome (I'm on wayland). These flags are visible in ~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop | 21:32 |
| LordChaos | When I start Chrome from the launcher, it launches the browser with these flags. When started from the dock or menu, they're not. | 21:33 |
| jjbuggle | so my computer crashed, and I'm used to being able to check dmesg, and see the messages right before boot, but now dmesg only starts at boot. Is there a way I can see the logs related to the crash? | 22:40 |
| Guest88 | what kindof error is that one as systemd managed | 22:42 |
| oerheks | journalctl -b -0 shows messages from the current boot, journalctl -b -1 from the previous boot | 22:43 |
| Guest88 | it said "Use Journalctl to View and Manipulate Systemd Logs ..." | 22:44 |
| jjbuggle | nice, thanks oerheks | 22:44 |
| leftyfb | jjbuggle: dmesg has never shown messages from before booting | 23:13 |
| black_13_ | is there a way to make a debug version of ubuntu or make debug version of packages | 23:17 |
| axs123 | For my user in /etc/passwd, the shell is set to /bin/bash. However, when I login as the user, it doesn't seem to run anything ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc. I still have to explicitly type /bin/bash and then it sources correctly. Why is that even though my shell should've been /bin/bash? | 23:19 |
| quadrat | axs123 did you try to change shell to /bin/bash with chsh? i did that when I had a similar issue, and that fixed it for me somehow | 23:21 |
| quadrat | black_13_ there are debug packages available for a lot of packages. need more? | 23:22 |
| quadrat | there is also debug symbol packages (which you would need to add the repo manually) | 23:23 |
| redlegion | I'm having the hardest time getting my rpi4 to pipe audio over hdmi | 23:27 |
| EriC^ | axs123: do you have any other stuff in your home dir such as .bash_profile? | 23:28 |
| axs123 | quadrat: yep I tried doing chsh and still getting the same issue | 23:30 |
| axs123 | EriC^: yep I have an empty .bash_profile file | 23:30 |
| black_13_ | is there such a thing as a source based ubuntu or ubuntu where you build all souces debug | 23:34 |
| quadrat | not that i know of black_13_ | 23:34 |
| axs123 | Ok it looks like the empty .bash_profile was causing the issues, removing it now makes everything work properly | 23:36 |
| axs123 | thanks EriC^ | 23:36 |
| black_13_ | how about building from source something like the qt5 packages with debug info | 23:47 |
| black_13_ | what i have done is a one off for that | 23:47 |
| black_13_ | i get all the dependence installed then build qt by hand and install to /opt | 23:47 |
| quadrat | black_13_ i guess you can, apt source, apt build-dep, and then compile it | 23:49 |
| black_13_ | would that be where you install the dependience packages but using tarball to build and install the shared libraries | 23:52 |
| quadrat | oO | 23:55 |
