[00:02] i just disabled the firewall for a second it's not the firewall so i'm not sure what's interrupting it but this is probably gods way of telling me to do it tomorro [00:03] hah :) [00:05] sometimes i just don't know how to put work down [01:13] I wanted to know why my web browser does not start if I don't have an internet connection [01:15] try running it from a terminal rather than just clicking an icon, perhaps it emits a handy error message [01:15] will try [01:15] wpa_gui is not showing any network devices. Anyone know why? iwlist wlp58s0 scan works with no issues, it's just wpa_gui === Marco_Polo is now known as Guest5116 [01:22] sarnold should i send a text message or a link to image showing error? [01:23] nobody uses wpa_gui it seems, not even an article/howto,.. it is all wpa supplicant nowadays, networkmanager/nm-cli [01:23] naruto_: hmm, that just said a screenshot name and sha256sum of the image.. [01:23] it couldn't load that way [01:23] naruto_: the text of the messages in a pastebin is usually best [01:23] ok [01:25] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/H7dnRxV6jq/ [01:25] here [01:25] edge? [01:26] lol i recently started using ubuntu and couldn't sync my settings from windows so i downloaded edge [01:27] but you worry that that browser does not start without networking.. [01:27] nah not really a matter of concern [01:28] just wanna know if that's right to happen or not [01:28] my guess is that's worth three separate bug reports to the edge team -- one for the sandbox error, one for the ntp error, one for the curl resolution error [01:28] i would expect it to open myself. [01:28] that ntp is a hint, sure [01:28] sarnold i see [01:29] i will try it with firefox then [01:29] edge is on beta anyways [01:30] thanks for making things clear [01:30] +have fun! [01:34] oerheks: I am looking for a wifi manager that is light wieght [01:36] * srv thinks winbuntu should be consider a separate linux/windows distro from the plain ubuntu lol just jokin there is no winbunto but ther ie a wsl2=windos subsystem for linuxany ways got to go :) === j2bv17 is now known as j2bv16 [01:50] anyone here versed in lamp servers or apache? [01:50] had to buy a 4k monitor to fit the volume controls for my sound card... [01:50] https://pasteboard.co/Kc81bKr.png [01:50] linux apache mysql php [01:51] lantech19446: yeah I ran them professionally back in the day. well it was more FAPP (freebsd/postgres), but similar. [01:53] ok i know nothing about webdev the site was up earlier i believe it just went down, apache status says active i've restarted apache service and the server itself nothing brought the page back up, what should i be checking [01:54] i'm also sure it's not dns because i'm sshing in with the domain name [01:55] lantech19446: apache status page, if one is active. other apache virtual servers on the same box... try bypass dns by adding server ip to your local hosts file with the correct domain that correlates to your apache virtual server... [01:55] we only have the one server, i should have been more specific i'm trying to access the site remotely === M4he is now known as mahe [01:56] yeah one server... httpd.conf has your virtual hosts directives... [01:56] not sure if it's working inside the building or not, i'm trying to avoid going in [01:56] hence, apache virtual servers [01:56] ok is that in /etc/apache2? [01:56] probably. depends on your OS/ apache packaging [01:57] you could always `locate httpd.conf` [01:57] nothing comes back to locate [01:58] you're running ubuntu? [01:58] yes [01:58] and ubuntu normal repo package for apache? [01:59] as far as i know, i didn't build this server [01:59] Croran: lol [02:00] hmm. apparently it's in apache2.conf nowadays and httpd.conf is an old name? [02:00] and your virtual hosts are now in the 'sites-enabled' directory [02:01] ok [02:02] so check all your virtual hosts. see if any of them function. there could be a separate virtual host for your domain vs one that is by IP address, or maybe one that is local access only at localhost/127.0.0.1 [02:03] check your output of `netstat -apn` [02:03] to see if your apache is listening on the correct ip and ports [02:03] sarnold: ? [02:03] Croran: I thought your screenshot was funny :) [02:03] the only thing i'm finding in sites-enabled that mentions a virtual host is for port 80 and says the site root is /var/www/site [02:04] sarnold: thanks. :) [02:04] lantech19446: so it's not associated with any domain name or ip address? [02:04] *:80 i'm assuming that means to listen on all interfaces [02:05] yeah. well for http. not https. [02:05] what happens when you try to browse to your page? browser just times out with no error? or is it page not found or a blank page or something? [02:05] site cannot be reached took to long to respond [02:06] and you're going to http://yoursite right? and not https://yoursite? [02:06] sounds like a firewall configured to DROP packets rather than REJECT them [02:06] and what did netstat show? [02:08] it's showing a tcp listener on 80 but no active connections on the IP for the server other than my ssh session [02:08] okay and now from your local machine do a 'telnet 80' [02:09] our site has ssl and functions on http and https [02:10] i just saw those messages [02:10] it's trying to telnet but it's not doing anything [02:10] that's bizarre you're able to ssh to it, but not telnet to port 80... and apache is listening... [02:11] i think i may know what happened i gotta try something [02:11] the firewall comment just triggered something [02:11] yeah firewall issue is consistent with behavior [02:12] i wonder if i started the firewall when it was turned off [02:13] try `telnet 127.0.0.1 80` on the server machine. [02:13] i added the rules for http and https to ufw and now it's working again [02:13] ah. good. [02:13] so no apache problem after all [02:14] nope thank god, I forgot that ubuntu shows you messages like you're completing the command no matter what so i disabled an already disabled firewall and then started it lol [02:16] thank you so much Croran i really appreciate all your help === xenialito is now known as Guest3216 === Guest3216 is now known as xenialito [02:19] lantech19446: you're welcome === keypushe- is now known as keypusher [04:36] anyone know why xpinstall.signatures.required has no effect anymore after updating to FireFox 90? [04:38] guest3426, i answered you last time, not enough? [04:39] oerheks unfortunately it didnt quite answer my question, or resolve the issue [04:39] guest3426, did you ask in #firefox? well,. without knowing what your custom webextentions are, maybe you better join this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1714767 [04:39] Mozilla bug 1714767 in Toolkit "Unsigned extensions don't work in Firefox Developer Edition 90" [--, Resolved: Worksforme] [04:39] ask in #firefox? [04:40] that bug is about developer edition and should be resolved already? Im using standard edition [04:40] and this is Ubuntu specific bug, I doubt they would care about it in #firefox [04:41] if those web extentions handle FTP, that is discussed in the releasenoted too [04:41] no, has nothing to do with FTP. the issue is about signatures [04:42] post your issue on askubuntu? [04:42] specifically why the FireFox build on Ubuntu now requires extensions to be signed while it didnt previously [04:43] I did post on launchpad questions [04:46] interesting, i don't see any https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bugs?orderby=-datecreated&start=0 [04:48] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/698053 [04:48] I wonder if that is becasue it's marked "answered" now (since someone commented on it)? [04:50] oh wait, you listed bugs, mine is a question === SmokenatorZ3 is now known as SmokenatorZ [04:51] i think my bugzilla url is valid for your bugreport. [04:51] I'm planning filing a bug after I have asked around a bit more [04:51] you sure it list questions too? [04:52] I see only bugs on that list [05:10] hey all [05:25] welcome Swift110-mobile [05:27] thanks lotuspsychje how are you? [05:27] all good tnx [05:34] Hi [05:34] how do you inflate? [05:43] good to hear lotuspsychje === Guest5116 is now known as Marco_Polo [08:06] Hello, I'm running into an error while doing apt upgrade. It says "installed linux-image-5.8.0-63-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1". See full log at https://dpaste.com/9NEQL6U8P.txt [08:06] What can I do? [08:11] hello, I'm trying to have a live media with ubuntu (kubuntu/xubuntu/ubuntu) to boot to systemd.unit = multi-user.target [08:12] Bardon: what's the output of `mount | grep boot` ? [08:12] but even if I put that into the boot options it does work [08:12] is this a deprecated option? does it have a special place it has to be? [08:12] olspookishmagus: are you putting spaces around the equals sign? [08:13] ummm, good suggestion patrida, I'll check to make sure I don't [08:13] 👍️ [08:15] seems like that wasn't the issue at all, it's just that kubuntu kept on displaying a graphical splash screen which got me confused but in the end it left me to a VTY, which is what I wanted to happend [08:15] thanks alkisg [08:15] Great! You can also remove "splash" if you want [08:18] ummm, that's another great suggestion, you're on a streak [08:18] can I buy you some ouzo anyhow? [08:21] Haha, thanks, it's still coffee time! :) [08:21] Btw what's the end goal? [08:24] bunch of old desktops, put them in row, boot a Live Media (via PXE), get their specs, check their HDD contents, zerofill them and them break them to parts - keep the best available and working setup per socket and the best available and working setup per memory technology for future test needs - index the rest and have them donated/recycled [08:24] I forgot to mention BACKUP if needed [08:24] but I wonder whterhet I'll be able to traverse into Greek directories from a VTY :/ [08:25] whether* [08:25] olspookishmagus: you could easily netboot them with ltsp and control them via epoptes, like we do in greek schools :) [08:25] i am trying to connect a USB mic to my laptop, i get the following error in dmesg [08:25] That way you don't need to get up from your office chair when gathering the specs [08:25] https://pastebin.com/AUeuDppn [08:26] olspookishmagus: https://ts.sch.gr/wiki/Linux/LTSP [08:26] alkisg: would you mind me pestering you in private PLEASE? [08:26] can someone help me with what the issue may be here.... [08:26] olspookishmagus: sure, go ahead [08:27] alkisg: /dev/sdb1 on /boot type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) [08:27] alksig: Sorry I had minimized my window and didn't pay attention [08:27] system dell latitude e6410 running ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS kernel 5.8.0-59-generic [08:28] Bardon: fat doesn't allow symlinks; it's best not to use fat for /boot [08:29] alkisg: Should I move the content of /boot, format it to something like ext4 then move the content back [08:29] then apt -f install or something? [08:29] even though the laptop has a USB 2.0 port it is somehow reading the microphone as "full speed" device rather than a "high speed" device.. check paste here https://pastebin.com/AUeuDppn [08:31] Bardon: yup. Is there anything special about your /boot, e.g. is it raspberry or uefi or something? [08:31] It's used by coreboot [08:31] If that matters [08:33] No idea if coreboot requires fat [08:34] You can also workaround the issue by copying /boot to /boot2, unmounting /boot, then copying /boot2 to the underlying /boot (that's from partition2 now), then running apt-install -f, then putting back /boot [08:34] But ...it's not a good thing to do that all the time [08:34] My Coreboot launches GRUB, which looks for a grub.cfg if I understood correctly [08:35] I'll try formatting I think [08:39] alksig: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1; I get "/dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!" [08:39] It unmounted fine I believe. How can it be in use by the system [08:41] Could it be because it has a boot flag? [08:44] which would be the right channel (if not this) for specific questions on usb device drivers [08:44] Bardon: mount | grep sdb will tell you [08:44] Bardon: for example, maybe you have cd'ed into it in a shell [08:44] And unmount wasn't successful [08:53] alksig: There's no output to mount | grep sdb === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [08:57] Bardon: what's the output of `sudo parted -l; sudo lsblk --fs` ? [08:57] (use tab to autocomplete my name, to get it typed correctly, so that I get notifications) [08:59] alkisg: Oh I'm sorry I missread it the first time and then kept on missspelling it [09:00] strangr: try #linux [09:00] thank you very much alkisg, very very much [09:00] olspookishmagus: cheers man, good luck with your endeavors! [09:01] alkisg: Ehm, so since it wasn't working, I did the cp method. I just rebooted, tried again and it formatted fine this time [09:01] 👍️ [09:05] alkisg: It rebooted fine but it seems to take a long time. How can I know if a job hanged and waited? [09:06] seems to have taken a long time*. It has booted [09:07] Bardon: cat /etc/fstab [09:07] If you have /boot there, with uuid, you need to update it to the new one [09:07] ah it still says vfat there [09:08] oh I thought the uuid would stay the same [09:08] indeed, it changed! [09:08] No you need a completely new line, with ext4 and new uuid [09:09] "mount: /boot: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error." :( [09:10] alkisg: Here is my fstab https://dpaste.com/FJYY6MLTM.txt [09:10] UUID= /boot ext4 defaults 0 2 [09:11] Ah, thanks [09:11] Wow that dpaste takes ages to load... [09:11] cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999 => much faster [09:11] All good now :) [09:11] 👍️ [09:12] Nice, I'll not that one down [09:14] It rebooted fine [09:14] alkisg: Thanks a lot :) [09:16] alkisg: In general, how can I know which job hanged the boot process? [09:16] Once the computer has booted and without plugging a screen to that computer since it's a server [09:25] Bardon: usualy you can F1 at boot process to textboot and see errors [09:30] systemd-analyze blame ## journalctl -b -0 shows messages from the current boot, journalctl -b -1 from the previous boot ## [09:30] there was bootchart package too, but not sure its still valid these days?

[09:31] there [09:32] oerheks: Perfect, thansk :) [09:35] Bardon: what the others said; and also, `systemctl --failed` shows failed units; the boot.mount unit would show up there as failed [09:39] Ok, thanks ! [10:17] Hey everyone ! I'm new to ubuntu I just want to know that is 8Gb of USB suffiecient to run live ubuntu or i need a dedicated ssd/hdd to install ubuntu on it [10:18] webchat57: you're describing two different scopes, which as a consquence have very different prerequisities [10:18] are you interested in running ubuntu live or install it? [10:19] olspookishmagus: Ubuntu Live without installing it on windows pc [10:21] desktop iso gnome is just 2.6 gb, use mkusb to make the rest of the space persistent https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/03/create-persistent-storage-live-usb-with.html [10:21] webchat57: so the prequisite for running a Live Ubuntu system varies on the Ubuntu version, have a look here: https://ubuntu.com/core/docs/supported-platforms [10:21] as for the USB's available storage space that also depends on what "flavor" you're using [10:25] I'm just trying to figure out that i have flashed a 8gb usb with ubuntu 20.04.2.0 iso file now next ?? [10:26] boot it? and have fun [10:27] webchat57: you have to select in the boot menu during your computer's startup [10:27] so if i reboot the system will my files will deleted or not? [10:27] webchat57: No, you can just explore it in live mode and then decide what you want to delete [10:27] During the installation [10:28] So your files are safe while you're booted from the USB drive [10:29] i just want to make my usb like plug and play but also want that the files on ubuntu which i work upon are safe and removing usb is itpossible [10:29] well, if you don't have a backup of your files, they are not important. [10:29] *files from hdd [10:30] webchat57: if you MOUNT your Windows Directory and start DELETING files no, those are considered DELETED [10:30] oerheks:Sounds great but not every time [10:30] also you can mess your Windows installation by playing with those, just play with files in non crucial to Windows' installation directories, for example: your Desktop [10:30] olspookishmagus: I don't think he was going to do so [10:31] D__: assumption is the mother of all something-I-don't-recall-what-don't-ask-me [10:32] there I might blew his/her trollling build up just by this xD [10:32] olspookishmagus: fair enough haha [10:33] a gift for those who appreciate the finer things: https://github.com/talamus/solarize-12x29-psf === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ === Guest7465 is now known as PonyBlocks [10:46] how do I read an environment variable declared in /etc/environment? when I type "env" it's not listed. [10:49] !path | saunders can this help? [10:49] saunders can this help?: The $PATH variable tells the shell where to look for the commands you tell it to run. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#File-location_related_variables [10:50] oh nvm gives a 500 [10:58] lotuspsychje: Not so much [10:58] the variable is there. it's declared. it's not the $PATH variable but one I named myself, $FOO === diskin is now known as Guest1507 === diskin_ is now known as diskin [11:16] Hi all [13:06] <[itchyjunk]> Hi, i have a vps with ubuntu 20.04 running. I have 2 servers running. I would like to add a new group and then add these services to that group. [13:06] <[itchyjunk]> I am looking at googled commands but do i need to worry about specific security settings and such? [13:07] <[itchyjunk]> oh i guess i then need to add user for each of my services and then add them to the group? /o\ i am confusing myself [13:08] What do you mean by "service" and "group"? It might help to read https://xyproblem.info/ and then restate your question. [13:09] <[itchyjunk]> When i started the vps instance, it gave me a user `ubuntu` and i've been using that to try stuff out. I have and unrealircd and a tor server running. My goal was to have the ircd behind the tor but i'm running into issue editing files [13:10] <[itchyjunk]> trying to edit /etc/bin/torrc, i get a permission denied, so i think the solution is to have groups? [13:10] /etc/bin/torrc? Are you sure that path is correct? [13:10] What editor are you trying to use? [13:11] <[itchyjunk]> /etc/tor/torrc * [13:11] <[itchyjunk]> `nano -w /etc/tor/torrc` [13:11] <[itchyjunk]> I can open it and read through it. [13:11] Try "sudo nano -w /etc/tor/torrc" [13:12] <[itchyjunk]> Is it a good idea to sudo it? Read somewhere that tor and the server should all have same permissions [13:12] <[itchyjunk]> trying to follow this guide : [13:12] <[itchyjunk]> https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/ [13:12] If you're trying to edit a file, as a one-off for manual configuration of a service, then sudo is the correct tool to use.

I already tried that [13:37] polve: what about sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade ? [13:38] same. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [13:39] actually I did `dist-upgrade' instead of `full-upgrade', buy to my comprehension those are the same [13:39] polve: seems like bug #1868932 [13:39] s/buy/but [13:39] Bug 1868932 in gnome-tweaks (Ubuntu) "gnome-tweaks missing dependency for gnome-shell-extension-prefs" [High, Fix Released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1868932 [13:39] This bug was fixed in the package gnome-tweaks - 3.34.0-2ubuntu1 [13:41] then why am I experiencing it? [13:41] polve: what's the output of `sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-prefs` ? [13:41] Sometimes the real reason that apt complains is a bit lower [13:41] So you need to try installing the mentioned package [13:42] alkisg: http://ix.io/3tBL [13:42] Also, do you have anything it `apt-mark showhold`? [13:43] > do you have anything it `apt-mark showhold`?

[16:09] Hi [16:09] if you install libmount [16:09] hi [16:10] I thought that concept was nuked years ago [16:10] hmm maybe ur right, wait i google [16:11] I installed ntp on ubuntu and run the service. But Cisco switches dose not take time from this NTP server. I searched and found Cisco devices does not support SNTP; How can I check if my ntp server is working in sntp mode or not? [16:12] moha: SNTP != NTP [16:12] looks like, if it is nuked, it is not supported [16:12] as i read on github ppl say it is not supported anymore [16:13] venividivici1989: Damn, I really wanted that function. Having all of mounts mixed together. To easy to break something unexpectedly. [16:14] what do you want exactly? [16:15] Does anybody if there are any cli tools for editing /etc/fstab? Yes I know it is just a textfile but I'd like something that'd have validation. [16:16] as far as i know there is no validation tool, just read it twice, heheh [16:16] or try a sim in a VM [16:16] hydrian: when you install ntp on ubuntu (apt install ntp), the command to check the version is: > sntp --version [16:17] I'm just dropping in some bind mounts right now. But I also trying to automate everything since I have enought desktop machines in house that is worth while. [16:18] hydrian: this may help: "mount --all --fake --verbose" [16:18] maybe you can try LVM? [16:19] venividivici1989: What does LVM have to do with mounting? [16:19] I noticed that about 10 hours ago, after unattended upgrades to various systemd packages, that many servers are failing to resolve host names and resolved is failing to start and using 100% CPU. Has anyone else seen this happening? I've noticed it in multiple clouds on a dozen servers so far. [16:19] every drive can be split or merged, and mounted in one location as one path [16:20] Guest80: what release, what versions? [16:20] 20.04, and the versions are (let me get the unattended upgrade output) [16:21] venividivici1989: That's no where near my use case. What I'm doing is bind mounting /var/lib/timekpr to a nextcloud synced directory. [16:21] aaah! ckoud, i think i can help you out in that case :( [16:21] cloud* [16:22] Well the nextcloud instance is local and I need the file to exist even if the networking isn't working. [16:22] Guest80: this one? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/245.4-4ubuntu3.10 [16:23] why not wrote a bashscript for it? [16:23] write [16:23] * [16:23] @TJ- yes, it looks like it: https://pastebin.com/mJh5N6HN [16:24] Guest80: please /join #ubuntu-security and lets get the devs that issued that patch involved [16:25] hydrian: Can you code? [16:26] venividivici1989: I have writen a script for the nextcloud sync. Maybe I should put the a mount check in the bash script itself as non-blocking action [16:26] venividivici1989: Yea. Bash, perl, PHP, EmcaScript. A bit of Java,C,C++. [16:27] Hydrian, aaah cool :), i think that is a idea, but it is not a full solution for what you need, i think [16:28] hydrian, does a symlink work? with another path another sync? [16:28] brb [16:28] venividivici1989: I was hoping that the fstab.d had matured and I was just missing something. It unfortunatly went the completly other direction. :-( [16:29] hydrian: can do a symlink do the trick? [16:30] hydrian: you can dispense with fstab altogether; use systemd.mount units and those are verifiable [16:34] TJ-: I like that idea... [16:34] Especially since my update script runs as a systemd timer.... [16:38] interesting thing [16:39] hydrian: edit mount options in gnome-disks would be what I recommend to users that need GUI. [16:42] i gtg 4 a while, ive food at the doorbell [17:02] TJ-: systemd.mount looks perfect [17:06] hydrian: I've done a lot of neat things with it; including a customise systemd-generator (bash script) to do clever things with Logical Volumes - generator creating runtime .mount units based on discovered storage and special requirements === xenialito is now known as Guest6635 === xenialito is now known as Guest855 [17:40] How can I check the protocol used by /sbin/ntpd is ntp or sntp? [17:47] Any SNTP client can synchronize to any NTP server. So the server always supports full ntp. Clients may only use the subset sntp [18:56] I installed gnome-boxes yesterday and it run fine. Today i tried starting it again, and it now only loads with sudo. Can i fix that? [19:06] try command sudo chown username:username /path/to/gnomebox [19:07] coconut: what's the error message you get when you run it? do you get more / additional errors in journalctl when using it? [19:07] hello, i want to create a way to toggle my left shift button [19:08] i want to invoke a script with a hotkey that will send keydown Shift_L [19:08] BinarySavior: I don't know if you can do this on individual keys or not, but it might do the trick https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/a11y-stickykeys.html.en [19:08] okay i will look at that [19:09] sarnold, no error at all when run under my username, under sudo it give some Gtk warning. [19:12] should /usr/bin/gnome-boxes not have my username ownership? It has root root now. [19:12] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1718920 Feb 25 20:20 /usr/bin/gnome-boxes* [19:12] cheers - how do i set my hdmi monitor to be the "primary" and the dvi-i monitor to be the "secondary"? they are on the same card. also how do I check to see what the settings are now - in case they already are that way? [19:13] coconut: not in that directory - it should be root root [19:13] oh ok, thank you [19:14] the actually game parts are usually in .../app somewhere (or in your /home/user/... somewhere. you can do updatedb then locate nameofgame [19:16] any reason for why it would not load? [19:18] first, name of game? second did you load it from software management or someother method? [19:19] coconut, still the error for gtk? [19:21] yeah gtk error only under sudo [19:22] coconut, so without sudo it doesnt load, with sudo a gtk error, what did you tried before? [19:22] nothing to be exact [19:22] do you have teamviewer? [19:22] no [19:22] ok =) [19:22] ehm [19:23] did you tried to chown the box? [19:23] no also not [19:23] i would give that a try firsdt [19:23] first [19:24] coconut: command: sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /path/to/box [19:24] or by righclicking the file [19:24] properties [19:24] if that doesnt work, set it back too root:root [19:25] gnome-boxes --checks # should give a clue [19:26] my boxes are just username:username so... [19:26] Under the hood Boxes is using a libvirt user session that runs as a regular user. [19:26] yeah, no need to edit owner [19:27] see if you are member of the KVM group? === Guest855 is now known as xenialito [19:28] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RmVJmjKVvQ/ #for --checks [19:29] oerheks, how do i check that group? [19:30] just type 'groups' in terminal? [19:30] martijn adm sudo lpadmin [19:32] it's weird because when i just installed it it did run and got elementaryos running... [19:32] the same version too btw [19:32] sure it is weird.. [19:35] any weird instances in ~/.config/libvirt/qemu ?? https://askubuntu.com/questions/926714/gnome-boxes-wont-start-on-one-account-but-will-on-another [19:39] oerheks, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jwf26Bx2tf/ [19:46] coconut, maybe a reinstall? [19:46] i have no clue there.. [19:46] will try that :) [19:48] no doesn't matter, think i will just try virt-manager then [19:49] although i liked the simplicity of gnome-boxes to be honest... [20:07] TJ-, ping [20:07] shibboleth: pong [20:07] TJ-, new grub issue, different hardware. interested? [20:08] shibboleth: cannot right now, it's almost my bedtime! [20:08] k [20:09] shibboleth: have you tried in #grub [20:09] tumbleweeds [20:09] mostly, but all the real experts are there in the background :) [20:10] I have an NVME drive in a Lenovo T14s Gen1 AMD that on boot seems to always increase the smart error count, but the error log doesn't actually have any errors [20:10] any idea what this could be? [20:11] pedrocr: have you checked for NVME/T14s firmware upgrades from Lenovo? [20:11] pedrocr: that sounds like an issue I saw fixed for some drives [20:13]
