[00:54] <dman777> hello, I have the focal server installation usb. In the shell of my brand new dell laptop, it does not fdisk -l does not show any hard drive devices
[00:55] <sarnold> what command exactly did you run? what output did you get?
[00:55] <dman777> it is vrsion 21.01.2
[00:55] <dman777> fdisk -l
[00:55] <dman777> sarnold: it showed my usb device and that is it
[00:56] <sarnold> oh wild I never knew fdisk would check them all without parameters
[00:57] <sarnold> the manpage says it uses /proc/partitions if you don't give any parameters; what's the contents of this file? does blkid show something different?
[00:57] <Bashing-om> dman777: How about ' parted -l ' maybe fdisk does not like the newer hardware ?
[00:59] <Bashing-om> dman777: And both fdisk and parted need "sudo".
[01:00] <leftyfb> dman777: go into your BIOS and set the storage device to AHCI as opposed to RAID (fake RAID) (this will break your Windows installation)
[01:00] <dman777> in the gui it saids block probing did not discover any disks
[01:01] <dman777> ah
[01:01] <dman777> I bet that is it
[01:03] <sarnold> leftyfb: oh! that's pretty likely ;)
[01:07] <dman777> leftyfb: that did it, thanks
[01:15] <sarnold> !cookie | leftyfb
[01:17] <dman777> leftyfb: would it be worth trying to do a multi boot by attempting to toggle ahci in the rare times I needed windows? or would that even work?
[01:18] <leftyfb> dman777: doesn't sound like something that would be sustainable
[01:36] <dman777> does anyone know of a good link on how to install compiz fusion?
[01:36] <dman777> or compiz reloaded I mean
[01:39] <oerheks> no such thing in our repos, dman777
[01:42] <oerheks> reloaded is a debian thing on 0.8, ubuntu uses 0.9
[01:42] <oerheks> https://wiki.debian.org/Compiz
[01:42] <dman777> thanks....I found this which helps alot http://blog.northfield.ws/compiz-release-announcement-0-8-14/
[01:43] <oerheks> well, reading this makes me scared https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/installing-compiz-reloaded/5875
[01:43] <oerheks> the python 2 part..
[01:44] <oerheks> good luck with that!
[01:55] <dman777> trying to run xinit but I get x server: connection refuse. Do I need to change some security setting or add my user to some group?
[01:58] <dman777> looks like  /dev/tty permission denied
[02:05] <Bashing-om> dman777: Some background: why and where are you attempting "xinit" - and is for sure xorg installed ?
[02:06] <dman777> from users home directory
[02:08] <Bashing-om> dman777: ctl+arlt+t I expect in ubuntu proper to gain a terminal interface ( clt+alt+f2 in xfce) .
[02:09] <dman777> ah...ok. thanks
[02:10] <Bashing-om> dman777: 'xinit' is a valid command within the boot menu, however.
[02:20] <[itchyjunk]> Hi, i booted find and shut down my system. Ubuntu 18.04. when i started it now, i get a "reading or writing outside hd0 press any key to continue" when i had it, it says a few different stuff all with [ok] but then it gets stuck in that process forever
[02:28] <guiverc> [itchyjunk], I'd boot a *live* system & `fsck` your disk/partitions... in my experience the error can be caused by a logical error on the file-system, which fsck will find & correct.. I'd also check drive health as I do it for any disk/drive issue whilst in the *live* session
[02:50] <[itchyjunk]> hmmm
[02:50] <[itchyjunk]> okay, guess i'll need a livedsk to fix this then
[02:56] <Bashing-om> [itchyjunk]: There is a rudimentary fsck in the boot menu that "might" be useful here as you presently hve no live disk.
[02:56] <Bashing-om> have*
[02:57] <[itchyjunk]> Hm, i try to press f9 or whatever the magical button it is and that might give me access to fsck?
[02:57] <[itchyjunk]> What would i run, just `fsck` not additional flags?
[02:58] <Bashing-om> ItsAGeekThing: UEFI system ? As soon as the firmware spalsh screen clears spam the escape key to get the boot menu, In this menu is the fsck option.
[03:01] <[itchyjunk]> I hit esc and picked command line but i get a grub> prompt instead
[03:01] <[itchyjunk]> maybe i went to the wrong place?
[03:02] <Bashing-om> ItsAGeekThing: ^ this check, if it can not correct will so advise you that you must manually (live disk) intervene.
[03:02] <Bashing-om> ItsAGeekThing: Legacy booting it is the shift key that grub looks for.
[03:08] <[itchyjunk]> I went to advanced boot option and there i saw `fsck`. i said something about problem in line 80. I rebooted after that can i can boot. What does this mean? It's fixed? Should i do something else?
[03:10] <Bashing-om> ItsAGeekThing: without seeing the full error message - hard to say. However, I do expect that ANY error report would indicate that a full system check/repair from the live environment is required.
[03:11] <[itchyjunk]> ah okay, i'll try to get a fuctional USB ready whenever i can. tyvm
[03:13] <Bashing-om> ItsAGeekThing: If you have the install medium that you used originally - might serve. Ideally fsck requires from the live same same release as what is installed.
[03:52] <user01> is there something different meant for the md5 of an image file (E01) than just running md5sum image.E01 ?
[03:57] <oerheks> i would use sha256sum .. https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu#6-check-the-iso
[03:59] <user01> oerheks, you'd use sha256sum to get an md5?
[03:59] <oerheks> no, there is sha256sum files on the server too
[04:00] <oerheks> why do you mix them?
[04:00] <user01> right im trying to figure out md5s for E01 images
[04:00] <oerheks> what is a E01 image?
[04:00] <user01> an image file
[04:00] <user01> with unused bits removed i think
[04:27] <user01> encase image file
[06:23] <ducasse> user01: yeah, just run md5sum on it, but be careful with md5, it's not been considered secure for a long time
[06:30] <user01> ducasse, i guess with that kind of file you have to open it in autopsy since the image md5 was needed and it was an EnCase image
[06:32] <ducasse> no idea about encase
[06:34] <user01> ducasse, it like iso only unused bits arent imaged
[06:34] <user01> saving space
[06:35] <ducasse> right
[06:36] <ducasse> so it needs the md5 in a separate file to check for errors etc?
[06:42] <ducasse> md5 is really not the best for consistency checks, but if it's what your software wants i guess you're stuck with it
[06:42] <ducasse> user01: ^^
[06:49] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> hey dudes anybody uses kdenlive on ubuntu
[06:49] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I have sad problem, that when You render already rendered files it looses half size of the files
[06:50] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> been rendering videos for years, can't see why the things does not provide full bitrate by default
[06:51] <oerheks>  already rendered files, maybe they are blown up ...
[06:52] <oerheks> hard to tell without the source
[06:52] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> blown up?
[06:53] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I hate this shit, why would these geniuses ruin 10 years of my video collection
[06:53] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> nobody likes quality loose
[06:53] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> expecially when You put a lot of effort
[06:54] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> making compilation videos should be breeze
[06:54] <Kon> Why would you overwrite your 10 year old files?
[06:54] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I did not
[06:54] <Kon> Then nothing was ruined
[06:55] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> the operating systems like ubuntu or windows weren't stable enough, so I lost raw files and project files
[06:55] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I could use only renders
[06:55] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> whoever thought this system of making compression is a fool
[06:55] <ducasse> you mean you didn't have backups
[06:55] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> yeah whatever
[06:56] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> dude, superstitious pieces of shit hate my shit
[06:56] <ducasse> i think there is a kdenlive channel, you can check with !alis
[06:56] <Kon> I don't understand the issue
[06:57] <ducasse> and please watch the language in here
[06:57] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> yeah whatever I am really gona hate whoever made this mess in video sphere
[06:57] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> it means a lot to me
[06:57] <ducasse> yes, there is #kdenlive
[06:57] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> could not make it better
[06:57] <ducasse> better try there
[06:57] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> for end user
[06:57] <Kon> Kdenlive could not have caused your existing renders to lose quality.
[06:58] <Kon> Unless your new export overwrote them
[06:59] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> ...
[06:59] <ducasse> i'm sure there's an option to export without recompressing
[06:59] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> it did not
[07:00] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> why it is not default
[07:00] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I waited 3 days
[07:00] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> to see that it lost half the size
[07:01] <ducasse> i  advice you to try my suggestion
[07:01] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I have 11GB rendered file and bunch of new files, If I render the compilation I get 6GB file
[07:02] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> there are 52 people in that
[07:02] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> group
[07:02] <ducasse> so?
[07:02] <ducasse> that's 52 people who probably know the software better than us
[08:15] <sixwheeledbeast> If you feel that ubuntu is "unstable" then why use it and complain? I don't get some people.
[09:17] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> #kdenlive is empty
[09:17] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I'm going back here to rant how computers ruined art
[09:17] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> and my soul
[09:17] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> and my time
[09:17] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> and money
[09:17] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/51821d1e10aed681e2bbacd40ecf6051/pasted.txt
[09:17] <oerheks> please do not.
[09:17] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> then fix this
[09:18] <oerheks> change your attitude..
[09:18] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I can't yall made it
[09:23] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> I hope them programmers become crippled fucks in after life
[09:24] <oerheks> !ops
[09:29] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> fix video
[09:29] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> ubuntu
[09:29] <Ronalds_Mazitis_> lmao I'm going insane
[09:40] <ducasse> look, this is not the place to rant. if you want help then please calm down
[09:43] <sixwheeledbeast> i don't think these people ever want help, just attention.
[09:53] <quadrat> sixwheeledbeast i think it's rather those people can't admit that the "bug" sits in front of the pc, and so they try to point fingers to anybody who "listens"
[09:54] <sixwheeledbeast> Even if PEBKAC they still want attention
[12:28] <wwt> how to disable unattended updates?
[12:31] <EriC^^> wwt: sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades   then select no
[12:32] <wwt> EriC^^, thx
[12:35] <EriC^^> np
[12:37] <krytarik> And here I thought it was disabled on Ubuntu by default..
[13:07] <love> hi
[13:13] <xubuntu> my SSD was totally destroyed somehow in a way that it can't be detected in gparted or anything. now I boot a totally correct live xubuntu, written on a totally healthy usb mass storage, in order to install it to another totally healthy usb mass storage
[13:14] <pasiz> kernel does device detection
[13:15] <xubuntu> up from boot it constantly whines over not being able to access the non-existent /dev/sda1 over ata1 something something
[13:15] <xubuntu> it boots to graphic stuff however, everything works
[13:15] <GSMarquis> Is it a sabrent?
[13:16] <GSMarquis> nvme sabrent
[13:16] <xubuntu> I don't know what is sabrent but it is not nvme
[13:16] <GSMarquis> so sata ssd
[13:16] <xubuntu> yes, the one that was destroyed.
[13:18] <xubuntu> the live image that boots up also constantly whines about Write-error on swap-device, despite there being no available swap partition anywhere and me not setting up anything in the live environment for it.
[13:18] <xubuntu> but as long as it is "Try Xubuntu" everything works.
[13:20] <xubuntu> but those errors show up in the log in installation GUI, and the installation always aborts in middle of the process because of IO error. that has to be the cause of it, since everything except the SSD is totally fine, image is also from torrent.
[13:22] <xubuntu> so what should i do? wth is it with swap-device when there is none?
[13:35] <xubuntu> sda tag#4 access beyond end of device, it says this too
[13:35] <xubuntu> it also gives errors about squashfs sometimes
[13:40] <Harlin> xubuntu, how big is the partition?
[13:45] <tomreyn> xubuntu: you either have a bad usb stick, a badly written copy of the installer iso on it, or a lack of RAM.
[13:46] <tomreyn> xubuntu: how did you write the xubuntu iso to the installer media? did you verify that it was written properly?
[13:51] <xubuntu> Harlin: the partition to which I am installing is like 30 Gb
[13:52] <xubuntu> tomreyn: the USBs are fine, the iso is from torrent so it is also fine, I have 4 Gb of RAM.
[13:53] <xubuntu> tomreyn: copied the iso into the flash drive and ventoy boots it up.
[13:54] <tomreyn> xubuntu: you should checksum the data written to the usb and compare that to a checksum of the iso
[13:55] <xubuntu> the same IO error also occured when I tried to install from the other usb which was written using dd of another iso, into this one as well
[13:55] <tomreyn> 4 GB RAM is the bare minimum for ubuntu, but i guess for xubuntu it should be fine
[13:55] <xubuntu> tomreyn:torrent already confirms every part during download
[13:56] <tomreyn> i didn't talk about downloading, though
[13:56] <tomreyn> i was talking about writing to the other media
[13:56] <tomreyn> cheap flash storage is error prone
[13:59] <xubuntu> i didn't dd it, i simply copied it there and ventoy booted it up. I don't have access to the iso file it is currently booting from to check it.
[14:03] <xubuntu> and it occured both when i was installing from USB #1 to USB #2 and USB#2 to USB#1, i tried it multiple times with multiple downloaded isos and multiple devices that totally worked with 0 errors otherwise, so those normal things aren't the problem and it has to do with the constant errors about SSD.
[14:08] <tomreyn> xubuntu: if you can post some of those error messages, as seen in dmesg, to a pastebin, and share the link, this may mean progress.
[14:09] <xubuntu> https://termbin.com/bgdl
[14:09] <xubuntu> tomreyn ^
[14:10] <xubuntu> those last messages about sdb are about me clicking on something on file manager
[14:14] <tomreyn> xubuntu: is this systems' root file system located on sda?
[14:14] <tomreyn> and what's the output of    cat /proc/swaps
[14:16] <xubuntu> tomreyn: the live installation medium is on /dev/sdb and it boots from there, /dev/sda is the non-function SSD
[14:17] <xubuntu> tomreyn: https://termbin.com/vkry
[14:17] <xubuntu> I don't know how could there be a sda5 when there is no sda
[14:17] <tomreyn> this system does seem to try to write to sda, though
[14:18] <tomreyn> apparently, /dev/sda5 was identified as a swap device and automounted
[14:19] <tomreyn> you can   sudo swapoff /dev/sda5
[14:19] <tomreyn> chances are this system is no longer in a coherent state and needs a reboot now, though
[14:20] <tomreyn> you should probably remove the swap marking on sda5 to prevent this from happening on the next boot
[14:21] <xubuntu> It is really strange. sda doesn't even show up on lsblk to allow me that. yet somehow it sets some swap on sda5
[14:22] <xubuntu> it doesn't show up in gparted as well.
[14:34] <alkisg> Does it show up in: sudo lsblk
[14:38] <alkisg> Or in sudo parted -l
[14:44] <tomreyn> they left
[15:03] <rjwiii> Ubuntu has been asking me to reboot for a month now ... I guess it's time ... :)
[15:03] <rjwiii> bbiab ...
[15:30] <onelegend> probably should not reboot and keep the precious uptime
[15:30] <onelegend> :0
[15:35] <rapid16> Trying to setup Docker env and it complained I don't have onigurama, anyone familiar with what that is?
[15:35] <rapid16> I tried to install onigurama-dev, but that didn't solve it
[16:18] <rapid16> I"m very confused. I've installed libonig5 and libonig-dev, but the configuration check for oniguruma is still failing
[16:18] <rapid16> I'm trying to build a docker setup, but the image build is trying to compile something it seems.
[16:43] <alram> Hi there! I'm having a bit of an issue on my RPi4B after the latest apt updates (21.04/aarch64). On reboot, my EEPROM seems to be reverting back to an older version from this year and hence I get bounced from my SSD to the rainbow of death-screen
[16:45] <alram> I'm wondering was there a method to manually overwrite the EEPROM binaries somehow, because the only time I've seen that behavior has been exactly in scenarios where the EEPROM isn't up to date/matching up and hence that rainbow screen ensues
[16:45] <alram> I've tried rsyncing the boot-partition as well as the /boot/ directory tree from a working install of the same type but to no avail
[16:46] <alram> Noticed this like just now, I only have the official repositories, canonical's selections and 'hirsute-proposed' enabled afair
[16:47] <alram> The pi4 boots just fine into rpios from an ssd, I've flash-updated the EEPROM from over there, but it just keeps on reverting whenever I boot to the Ubuntu :(
[16:49] <alram> (I find it likely that the EEPROM is the culprit since the ROD [=rainbow of death] screen comes right after the Pi4 finds the FAT partition and starts to boot from it, like within a second)
[16:50] <alram> (AND due to the fact that when I boot to the RPiOS side of things, the EEPROM has been re-flashed into an older one...)
[16:53] <alram> I've only found some odd references here and there, perhaps I should try the one given in this answer: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/115944/ubuntu-20-04-on-raspberry-pi-4b-cannot-upgrade-bootloader
[17:35] <alram> ... OK, so after probing around some more, it's not the EEPROM, I think
[17:38] <alram> maybe some of the latest apt packages manage to break something; the kernel is 5.11.1014-raspi
[17:39] <alram> the rainbow screen of death hits basically like the second it finds the FAT partition and starts to boot off from it, so I have my suspicion that the problem is somewhere in the very initial boot phases
[17:39] <alram> it's like within 1 second or so of the bootloader finding the boot partition and starting to boot off of the SSD
[17:43] <alram> oh, I see. just before things went haywire, according to '/var/log/dpkg.log' there was a bunch of updates (I'm using Xubuntu), including libc-bin and so forth
[17:43] <spjb> alram, maybe #raspberrpi could also be usefull. I'm not too sure what is causing this. Have you tried a different power adapter? I get some Rainbow screens of death with not enough power going through USB-C with crappy outlet adapters.
[17:43] <spjb> So apt is holding u back?
[17:43] <alram> spjb: I have the official PSU and I have the same types of Ubuntus running on multiple different RPI 4B's.
[17:44] <alram> there was a bunch of updates today, I needed to reboot after that, and I was rebooted into the rainbow of death
[17:44] <alram> usually I've only had that problem if the bootloader is somehow broken
[17:44] <spjb> Very odd. Probably not a power issue then.
[17:45] <alram> oh no, and it happens so early on boot that the only time I've gotten that type of a crash is due to bootloader or EEPROM mismatches and so forth
[17:45] <alram> just before I rebooted into oblivion, there was an update to ubuntu-advantage-tools (that btw failed to both install and uninstall properly on my other rpi4b xubuntu; albeit it didn't suffer from the RoD)
[17:48] <alram> I've already tried rsyncing the boot partition & firmware related stuff from a working copy of the same type, to no avail
[17:50] <alram> there's literally like no errors on anything under /var/log/ either
[17:50] <alram> (although /var/log/boot.log is 0 bytes in size though)
[17:54] <alram> I wonder if there's any documentation on what is the boot sequence on the RPi4B's when you're booting off of an SSD into Ubuntu? Is there any kind of documentation to Ubuntu's RPi4B bootloader at all?
[17:56] <alram> also, apparently I've been running on that same kernel successfully; dmesg shows  (Ubuntu 5.11.0-1014.15-raspi 5.11.22)
[18:05] <alram> I put a brief description on the Ubuntu pastebin: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SXnzTTsNtS/
[18:12] <dman777> On server edition, how can I install X11 without install any desktop manager?
[18:26] <guestalzgh> I'm on an Ubuntu focal and I've managed to break my network. Problem is that my dns does not work. Would appreciate if you could help me out. Can happily provide any information you need.
[18:27] <guestalzgh> Thanks
[18:27] <alram> btw one question regarding just linux and OBS in general, my webcam seems to be dropping on and off in 21.04 on an amd64 (I've read that it has something to do with the USB lane packet handling; others have been nagging about the same thing) -- do you know if there's a way to force a certain USB webcam source to always be the same exact one; OBS keeps on reverting to whatever /dev/videoX name the camera
[18:27] <alram> gets assigned and drops the ball :<
[18:28] <coconut> dman777, you would have to install some xserver-xorg packages, although i how no idea which though.
[18:28] <alram> (or; if it's possible to do it on the Linux's side of things and always make a certain USB device ID-camera go to a pre-assigned /dev/videoX , where X is the number of the camera ... or whatever would be a possible workaround (I found some related to this but they don't work in modern OBS's anymore...)
[18:49] <guestalzgh> can someone help me with name resolution please? I've broken my network while setting up a vpn client :D. Here's how my `nsswitch.conf` looks like: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/9b5vB2ww9K/
[18:54] <quadrat> guestalzgh so revert the things you did? as the nsswitch looks fine
[18:55] <guestalzgh>  I'm not sure what I did as it was mostly by running a program (protonvpn). I killed it midway as it was not able to connect :D.
[18:56] <guestalzgh> This line `hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns` in nsswitch.conf made me suspicious but changing it didn't have any result.
[18:56] <guestalzgh> I thought `[NOTFOUND=return]` would cause name resolution to short circuit and not using dns anymore
[18:56] <quadrat> guestalzgh i have mymachines at the end, but that shouldn't break your dns, so what looks like your /etc/resolv.conf
[18:58] <guestalzgh> This is /etc/resolv.conf https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/h6KVrh3FkX/
[18:59] <guestalzgh> `nameserver 127.0.0.53` looks wrong but I'm not sure how to solve this
[18:59] <guestalzgh> Since it say I shouldn't touch it manually
[19:00] <guestalzgh> also, what do you mean with "mymachines at the end"? quadrat
[19:01] <guestalzgh> do you mean switching `mdns4_minimal` with `dns`?
[19:01] <quadrat> hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mymachines
[19:01] <guestalzgh> O, OK
[19:03] <guestalzgh> How does your /etc/resolv.conf look like?
[19:03] <quadrat> looks the same
[19:04] <guestalzgh> damn
[19:05] <guestalzgh> to connect to this irc, I'm running a vpn in a windows vm on my ubuntu
[19:05] <guestalzgh> what else should I check?
[19:05] <shibboleth> TJ-, ping. empire strikes back, different device
[19:07] <quadrat> guestalzgh did you check your route?
[19:07] <guestalzgh> No, I'm not sure how to do that, sorry
[19:08] <quadrat> ip route list
[19:08] <guestalzgh> OK, will check, thanks
[19:19] <dman777> is wgetpaste available in ubunutu?
[19:20] <dman777> I tried to install it but it is not showing up
[19:21] <coconut> dman777, there is pastebinit
[19:22] <coconut> or <command> | nc termbin.com 9999
[19:22] <gsker> guestalzgh:  systemd-resolv --status
[19:23] <gsker> guestalzgh:  what had you changed just before DNS broke?
[19:27] <gsker> guestalzgh: nameserver 127.0.0.53     is indicating that the system is relying on a local resolver -- in ubuntu that's systemd-resolved.  Also try ps -ef | grep resolv.  Did you edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf  ??
[20:11] <forteller> Hi. I'm trying to help my mom get a bit better laptop. I don't want her to need to get used to something new, so I just want to put her old SSD into the "new" laptop. The "new" laptop works fine with Ubuntu 21.04, but the old SSD runs Zorin OS, and with that OS wifi doesn't work. Can I find the wireless driver files in the Ubuntu installation
[20:11] <forteller> somewhere and just copy them over to the Zorin installation on the other SSD? Where would I look for those drivers, if so? Thanks so much!
[20:14] <ravage> Drivers are usually kernel specific so you can just copy stuff here
[20:14] <ravage> *not
[20:15] <forteller> I see. That's really too bad. Thanks!
[20:17] <Mekaneck> forteller: looks more like a zorin support question and we do not support that here
[20:17] <Mekaneck> so search for support with Zorin, not sure if there's a channel here on libera
[20:18] <coconut> forteller, i am not sure, but i would try installing/check whether it is installed already linux-firmware.
[20:19] <guestalzgh> gsker sorry for the late reply. Here's the result of `systemd-resolve --status` https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mScQbMb8sQ/
[20:19] <forteller> Mekanec: I understand that, but the question was whether it was possible to find some specific files in Ubuntu that makes the wifi work. I understand now that that is not possible.
[20:20] <guestalzgh> gsker `enp4s0` (the last entry) is my real network adapter (wired)
[20:22] <guestalzgh> gsker I didn't change anything manually. I was trying to setup a vpn (protonvpn). The program hang in the middle and I had to kill it. I guess it made some changes in my dns setup and failed to revert it.
[20:23] <gsker> Oh yeah.   vpns do mess with DNS settings.
[20:23] <tomreyn> you don't seem to have an ipv4 resolver configured at this time
[20:24] <tomreyn> just: Current DNS Server: ::1
[20:24] <tomreyn> on the interface called "ipv6leakintrf0"
[20:24] <guestalzgh60> sorry, I was disconnected
[20:26] <gsker> Yup. No server.  I'd manually create a resolver entry in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf DNS=8.8.8.8 and then restart systemd-resolved. But, of course, that's not a fix for the VPN DNS configuration.
[20:26] <gsker> Just a way to get it connecting again.
[20:27] <guestalzgh60> thanks, I'm gonna test that
[20:35] <guestalzgh60> gsker added the DNS entry. Current `systemd-resolve --status` looks like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/g5GQvVxcF9/
[20:35] <guestalzgh60> But I'm still not able to ping domain names
[20:35] <guestalzgh60> Only IPs
[20:35] <guestalzgh60> Maybe I should look into resetting my dns settings to default settings?
[20:41] <gsker> Are you still connected to the VPN during this?
[20:42] <gsker> can you ping 8.8.8.8?   (Is there a routing issue?)   ip route show  (or ip route list -- machs nichts)
[20:43] <guestalzgh60> No, my linux doesn't connect. I've created a Windows in virtualbox on it and setup another vpn inside of it to be able to connect. This way I circumvent the dns issue.
[20:43] <guestalzgh60> Ping works on my linux.
[20:43] <guestalzgh60> Now problem with that.
[20:43] <gsker> did you restart the resolver?  systemctl restart systemd-resolved
[20:45] <guestalzgh60> yes, I did.
[20:46] <guestalzgh60> This is output of `systemctl status systemd-resolved` https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/v44vYsRqYM/
[20:46] <guestalzgh60> Does not look right
[20:48] <gsker> Ah. Well. Those are only IPV6 addresses. I was for some reason thinking ipv4.
[20:49] <gsker> but you can ping 8.8.8.8.   Hmmmm.
[20:49] <guestalzgh60> yes, I can ping any IP
[20:49] <gsker> Still waiting for ip route show
[20:49] <guestalzgh60> O, a sec
[20:50] <guestalzgh60> `ip route show` https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fMSCZmRGtV/
[20:50] <guestalzgh60> 10.34.24.1 is my correct gateway
[20:52] <gsker> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gWp7JmFJxv/
[21:22] <mikesmoniker> Can anyone explain why `id` would no longer report a user as in a group (e.g., jenkins) after a reboot, despite /etc/group being correct?  Again, this isn't a newly added group.. it's worked fine for years.  https://pastebin.com/Av5EeAjy
[21:25] <gsker> What does grpck say?   ( sudo grpck )
[21:26] <arh> Does anybody here use Ubuntu with #gnu-linux-libre?
[21:26] <mikesmoniker> gsker: nothing
[21:30] <gsker> Well that's interesting.
[21:31] <mikesmoniker> I *think* apt upgraded jenkins recently, but that's about all I can think of.
[21:31] <gsker> I've had this happen when there was an error in the group file.  An errant character or something.
[21:33] <gsker> grep -noP '[^\012\040-\176]' /etc/group     (to find non-normal characters in the group file.)
[21:34] <tomreyn> use "getent group", not just "cat /etc/group"
[21:34] <tomreyn> whats this (non standard) shell?
[21:35] <tomreyn> (at least PS was modified)
[21:35] <mikesmoniker> The grep  looks fine and getent group matches what I expect to see.
[21:35] <mikesmoniker> It's just bash.
[21:36] <tomreyn> is this ubuntu, which?
[21:36] <mikesmoniker> 18.04 running 4.15.0-147-generic
[21:39] <gsker> Any external auth  - like sssd?
[21:39] <mikesmoniker> nope
[21:45] <mikesmoniker> Multiple users _should_ be in the jenkins group but the only one that actually is is the jenkins user.
[21:45] <tomreyn> this could be related to bug 1781418
[21:47] <mikesmoniker> I'm not using KDE or any graphical server, but I'll take a look.
[21:50] <tomreyn> apt list --installed | grep ',local\]$' | nc termbin.com 9999     would identify untracked packages, might help
[21:51] <mikesmoniker> Just bat and ripgrep
[22:01] <gsker> I have no idea. I'd go through every package that got touched since the last reboot and see if there are any pam modules in there. Also check dmesg and all logs and then try rebooting with a different kernel -- like the prior one. That's just some things I would try.
[22:02] <mikesmoniker> Thanks
[22:06] <nuala> 'grub install /dev/sda fails.' (OK?) Where can I find logs about this (installing from live usb)
[22:11] <mikesmoniker> Well, re-adding all those users to the jenkins groups seems to have worked and survived a reboot *shrugs*
[22:11] <mikesmoniker> I will keep investigating the why though.
[22:32] <nuala> (nm I didn't read full tutorial ><)
[23:32] <Greek> i'm using termux & andronixon android for ubuntu.. could someone help me with some networking stuff? i want to be able to ssh into my android from the local network, and i suppose from the public internet..
[23:32] <Greek> could someone help me with one or both?
[23:33] <Greek> on ubuntu for android i guess..
[23:34] <Greek> i can get vnc-viewer to localhost to work on the android.. i'd like to be able to connect from my laptop..
