| ubottu | bewees: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 01:22 |

| bewees | tomreyn: My Laptop uses Intel 11th generation with Iris igpu and in 5.10 adjusting the backlight is working only for newer kernel versions | 01:24 |
| bewees | tomreyn: So you would recommend to better use 21.04 with the mainline kernel rather than 21.10 testing images? | 01:25 |
| tomreyn | bewees: "in 5.10 [a kernel version] adjusting the backlight is working only for newer kernel versions"? i'm not sure i understand | 01:27 |
| tomreyn | hirsute (Ubuntu 21.04) comes with kernel version 5.11 | 01:28 |
| tomreyn | generally speaking, if you have hardware functionality you strictly depend on, and which is too new to be supported on any ubuntu release but supported by newer kernel versions, then you could use a script to keep running the latest mainline kernels until there is support for it in ubuntu. | 01:30 |
| tomreyn | this isn't supported, but probably the best approach in this (rather rare) situation. | 01:31 |
| bewees | tomreyn: I see, I will try that. I tried 21.04 already, thus 5.11 seems to not have my required drivers either | 01:32 |
| bewees | Until October this should be doable, then I can upgrade to 21.10 | 01:32 |
| pycurious | is anyone using k8s from canonical in production here? | 01:34 |
| leftyfb | pycurious: try #ubuntu-server or contact Canonical for any of their commercial products | 01:34 |
| tomreyn | bewees: there is https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh (but i think this one does not verify gpg signatures) and https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#wget_kernel_mainlinesh (which was really written by TJ, and can verify gpg signatures) | 01:37 |

| blahboybaz | Can not remove a printer in 20.04. It keeps automatically adding back as soon as I remove it. I've tried looking for information online but what I'm finding looks like a bunch of long-winded jibberish! Is there a simple solution that allows me to get rid of this offending printer that I don't even own? | 04:32 |
| blahboybaz | I don't even know who's printer it is - I just want it gone | 04:32 |
| noarb | some printers announce themselves on the network and can be auto-discovered (via avahi/bonjour) | 04:34 |
| === cacti is now known as madmax | ||
| blahboybaz | noarb: I thought I had it with an edit to some line in some cups config file (something I found in a forum post). The only thing that changed is I don't get a pop up revealing that it was added back (but it is still actually being added back) | 04:45 |
| blahboybaz | I really don't want some strangers printer on my laptop | 04:45 |
| blahboybaz | So am I forced to have some printer on my machine? What happens if I uninstall cups? Probably a bunch of other stuff is dependend on it and the system breaks? Or if I get a printer later that I want to use I can't because I don't have cups on my machine? If I reinstall it to use my own printer later then it just installs that strangers printer again like - ha ha! gotcha again! right? | 04:50 |

| alkisg | (and yeah I agree with you that it should be possible to blacklist some network printers) | 05:58 |

| alkisg | dob1: which desktop environment are you using? Each one has its own software update gui | 06:56 |
| dob1 | alkisg, i3 | 07:20 |
| alkisg | Ah, you mean no desktop environment at all, just a window manager? | 07:21 |
| dob1 | alkisg, yes | 07:22 |
| alkisg | Eh, that will have missing bits indeed :) | 07:22 |
| dob1 | it's not just software update, every software that asks for authorization doesn't work because I doesn't ask for my password to continue | 07:23 |
| dob1 | *it doesn't | 07:23 |
| alkisg | So pkexec bash has the same issue? | 07:24 |
| dob1 | alkisg, pkexec bash asks for my password but it fails too | 07:27 |
| dob1 | Error executing command as another user: Not authorized | 07:28 |
| alkisg | dob1: Well, these are my polkit/policykit related packages on Ubuntu MATE 20.04; see if some of them help: https://termbin.com/rpkw | 07:28 |
| alkisg | But in general, you might be better off installing a desktop environment, even lubuntu, to satisfy all the dependencies; then run your i3 instead | 07:29 |
| dob1 | alkisg, I installed ubuntu so I have gnome, I could use gnome. After the installation I installed i3 | 07:30 |
| alkisg | Hmm, but you're using a custom session, you didn't just change the window manager, right? | 07:30 |
| alkisg | Is dbus even running in your setup? | 07:31 |
| dob1 | alkisg, I am using i3 alone, not ask wm for an existing de | 07:31 |
| dob1 | it is | 07:31 |
| alkisg | How about this one? root 941 0.0 0.0 241556 11092 ? Ssl 08:06 0:01 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug | 07:31 |
| alkisg | And, there should also be an authentication agent, although mine is from mate: | 07:32 |
| alkisg | alkisg 2545 0.0 0.2 728428 42888 ? Sl 08:07 0:00 _ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/polkit-mate/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1 | 07:32 |

| dob1 | alkisg, the second one it's not running | 07:32 |
| alkisg | What's the output of `grep -ri authent /etc/xdg/autostart` ? | 07:33 |
| alkisg | There should be a gnome polkit authentication agent there | 07:33 |
| alkisg | It'll probably also have an only-run-in: gnome entry in the desktop file, and that would be why it won't launch in your custom session | 07:34 |
| dob1 | alkisg, it's this https://paste.debian.net/hidden/0df7fe48/ | 07:35 |
| alkisg | Try to run it manually: /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 | 07:35 |
| alkisg | Then try again: pkexec bash | 07:35 |
| ducasse | i don't those are started with i3 unless you use dex | 07:36 |
| dob1 | alkisg, if I run the one you suggested and then pkexec bash will ask for a graphical password and it works | 07:37 |
| dob1 | what is dex? | 07:37 |
| ducasse | it runs .desktop files, but can also handle autostart xdg items | 07:37 |
| alkisg | ducasse: I've no idea about i3, you think it doesn't run /etc/xdg/autostart at all? Because that one wouldn't run anyway, I bet it has a OnlyShowIn=GNOME or something in it... | 07:38 |
| alkisg | dob1: anyway, just put that command in your session script | 07:38 |
| dob1 | alkisg, ok thanks. I will try! | 07:41 |
| alkisg | 👍️ | 07:41 |
| ducasse | dob1: you can also use lxpolkit if you don't want the gnome agent | 07:43 |
| dob1 | ducasse, but it's for lxde | 07:44 |
| ducasse | doesn't matter, it's just a small polkit agent | 07:45 |
| dob1 | ok I installed it | 07:45 |

| merpnderp | leftyfb: Yeah, I looked through it but couldn't really compare which ones were better. | 12:59 |
| merpnderp | Plus I haven't been in the linux world for 10 years, so its hard to know which packages have good reputations. | 12:59 |
| leftyfb | merpnderp: you install them and try them out. This isn't the place for software opinions. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 13:00 |
| merpnderp | okay | 13:00 |
| tomreyn | tarzeau_ / hajonnes: looks like synaptic is still available (from universe) with growing version numbers until the latest stable release | 13:02 |
| tomreyn | personally, if i needed something graphical for package management (luckily i don't), i would still very much prefer it to "ubuntu-software", just because it lists all the packages, and i can tell what's provided by apt vs snap | 13:03 |
| tomreyn | (but i'd also recommend using "apt" in a terminal) | 13:04 |
| jelly | ledeni[m], thank you! | 13:07 |
| pizzaburger | The message also reads: You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit" to boot into default mode. Press enter for maintenance (or press Control-D to continue):" | 13:07 |
| pizzaburger | Yesterday I pressed ctrl+D on that message in it got to the login screen and all was fine. Today I can't even do that anymore. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks! | 13:08 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, Yes I agree. I do not like sofware center now prefers snap. I do not find any way to change it also. But it is strange that I do not find apt gimp in sofware center and I can install it using apt. | 13:09 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: i have little experience with software center, so can't exactly comment as to why only the snap would show there. i know that at some point both snap and apt packages going by the same name would show there. maybe this has changed since. | 13:11 |

| tomreyn | pizzaburger: this could be a physically broken disk. boot from an ubuntu installer/live system and run smartctl -x against the disk | 13:14 |
| tomreyn | is this a hdd or ssd? | 13:15 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: ssd | 13:15 |
| tomreyn | okay, then my theory is less likely to be correct. but try it nevertheless. | 13:16 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: ok, gimme a sec to make a bootable USB | 13:17 |
| pizzaburger | Your theory is scary | 13:17 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: shouldn't be, if you have backups? | 13:17 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: about that... | 13:18 |
| tomreyn | :-( | 13:18 |
| pizzaburger | I can't make a live USB from an already live USB, can I? | 13:19 |
| pizzaburger | I can, awesome! | 13:19 |
| tomreyn | so is this not actually an ssd but just a usb stick then, flash memory? | 13:20 |
| pizzaburger | No, it's SSD on my laptopt, I'm just trying to make a bootable USB for it to test that "smartctl -x" command from an already live Ubuntu from a different laptop. | 13:21 |
| tomreyn | ok | 13:21 |
| pizzaburger | Also, I wouldn't be able to unlock the drive if it was broken, correct? | 13:29 |
| pizzaburger | When I do ctrl+D on that message it gives me: "Failed to start default target: Transaction for graphical.target/start is destructive (emergency.target has 'start' job queued, but 'stop is included in transaction)." | 13:30 |
| tomreyn | i have not seen this message before | 13:35 |

| === Guest46 is now known as pizzaburger | ||
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: got that bootable USB. Should I still try to run that "smartctl -x" command? | 13:42 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: it is just one theory, there can be other reasons. you likely have a broken file system on / now. if the file system isn't that broken you could still have booted to recovery, but from what i understand that's no longer so. so you need to boot off a working live system and repair from there. | 13:43 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: Thanks for the insight! Any pointers on where should I start with the repair? | 13:44 |
| tomreyn | yes, do the smartctl -x (or just -a) against the disk you normally boot off first. review it, or have it reviewed here (pastebin). then, if it looks ok, run fsck against then normal installations' root file system. | 13:44 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: note that you have two major problems here: no (complete, current, proven restorable) backups, EOL system (we would not normally support you here with this). make sure you fix both of those as soon as you can. | 13:47 |

| tomreyn | but based on that message, you can probably go ahead and (try to) repair the file system and backup your data | 13:55 |

| ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 13:57 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: awesome, thanks! Will keep the unsafe shutdown in mind, but those are all cases when I had this problem earlier. So I'm just running "fsck" in ubuntu@ubuntu dir, right? Or should I mount that /dev/nvme0n1p5 disk first? | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: whenever you can, run fsck against file systems which are not mounted | 14:03 |
| tomreyn | i don't know which device you need to check | 14:04 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: so "fsck /dev/nvme0n1p5" - that's the Solaris Root partition | 14:04 |
| tomreyn | "Solaris Root partition"? | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | this channel is about ubuntu linux | 14:05 |
| pizzaburger | I'm viewing the disks in "Disks" | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | do you use zfs in addition to btrfs? | 14:06 |
| pizzaburger | Have 5 volumes: partition1 (BIOS Boot), Filesystem (EFI system), Partition 3 (linux swap), bpool (solaris boot), rpool (Solaris Root) | 14:06 |
| tomreyn | hmm i guess i lack experience with btrfs then. indeed, something on either bpool or rpool may be what you need to check. | 14:08 |

| tomreyn | pizzaburger: not according to the wiki page i posted above (which is from 2015) | 14:13 |
| tomreyn | i suggest to read up on it ot to wait for someone who is experienced with btrfs. | 14:13 |
| pizzaburger | Ok, so I'm doing "btrfs check --repair <device>" on the root volume, and not any other volume on my disk, correct? The root one being the biggest (507 GB out of 512 GB) | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | about "Will keep the unsafe shutdown in mind, but those are all cases when I had this problem earlier" - note that file system corruption doesn't neccessarily go away by itself. especially if it remains, you need to actively try to fix it and not just ignore the error. | 14:16 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: Duly noted. | 14:16 |
| tomreyn | now is a good time (since the system is not live) to ensure that all file systems are in good shape. | 14:17 |

| marcoagpinto | Hello! | 14:20 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: i think i brought up btrfs here, mixing this up with a chat i had in #ubuntu-server. what you have there is probably zfs, not btrfs | 14:21 |
| marcoagpinto | why has my VM installed hours ago crashed? | 14:21 |
| marcoagpinto | https://www.dropbox.com/s/pe66ihmm9kxwci9/ubuntu20_04_02_crash_20210818.png?dl=0 | 14:21 |
| marcoagpinto | I deleted and reinstalled it because "videos" app was crashing all the time | 14:21 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: i also can't help you fix zfs, though | 14:21 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: then it won't be possible to find out now. | 14:22 |
| marcoagpinto | but this screenshot is from the one I installed today | 14:22 |
| marcoagpinto | it crashed while I was browsing with Firefox | 14:22 |
| jelly | marcoagpinto, virtualbox can be unstable every now and then. You could try hyper-v or esxi for the host | 14:23 |
| jelly | or kvm | 14:23 |
| marcoagpinto | I don't have Windows 10 Pro, so no hyper-v :( | 14:23 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: okay, so this error is about virtualbox guest additions. | 14:23 |
| jelly | marcoagpinto, in any case, you'll want to look at logs on the host side for reasons for crash | 14:24 |
| marcoagpinto | tomreyn: is that good? | 14:24 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 14:24 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: it means the failing software is not part of ubuntu | 14:24 |
| marcoagpinto | ahhhhhhh | 14:25 |
| marcoagpinto | oki | 14:25 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 14:25 |
| marcoagpinto | thanks | 14:25 |
| alkisg | It's saying that you didn't install gcc so it can't compile the additions | 14:25 |
| alkisg | You don't need to compile them, just install them from the ubuntu repositories | 14:25 |
| marcoagpinto | I didn't install gcc, only pearl | 14:25 |
| marcoagpinto | :( | 14:25 |
| nibjc | pearl best progrem | 14:26 |
| marcoagpinto | if I do: sudo apt-get install gcc | 14:26 |
| marcoagpinto | will the crash be gone for good? | 14:26 |
| moha | by "enable -now" we can enable a service and start it: systemctl enable --now something.service | 14:26 |
| moha | is there any trick to restart and get the status of service one after the other in one systemctl command? | 14:26 |
| tomreyn | marcoagpinto: to provide the very file the error message discusses you'd need to install libgcc1 - but you may actually need mor ethan just that to make VirtualBox Guest Additions work. they do provide documentation. the easiest approach may be to sudo apt install build-essential | 14:28 |

| hajonnes | I'm trying to build a .desktop file. when I execute it I get error but when I start the program directly without the .desktop file I get no error. | 14:31 |
| hajonnes | error log https://pastebin.com/65xvvuPS | 14:33 |
| hajonnes | .desktop file https://pastebin.com/R7u85wUQ | 14:34 |
| hajonnes | what could be the problem? I have a .ini file that I think is not engaging when using the .desktop file but I'm not sure. | 14:36 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: you may want / need to specify Path= | 14:36 |
| varaindemian | how can I install python3 32-bit on ubuntu 18.04/20.04 64-bit? | 14:36 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, ok the path to the directory where the execution should take place? | 14:37 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: yes, that's what i mean. i hope PAth= is correct, i haven't verified this | 14:38 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, I'll check it out. Thanks for your help! :) | 14:39 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: it is correct according to https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#recognized-keys | 14:40 |
| tomreyn | also note that package desktop-file-utils provides the command desktop-file-validate | 14:41 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, thanks a lot. I did not find that. :) | 14:41 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome | 14:42 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: so i think what you need to do is to recover a zfs pool. you should be able to read up on how to do this online. | 14:42 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: Yeah, I encrypted the drive with ZSF. | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | encryption, too? | 14:43 |
| SnoopJ | varaindemian, you can install the i386 architecture version of the package (i.e. `python3:i386`), or you could build your own (I like using pyenv for this) | 14:43 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: Was a brand new way to encrypt when 20.10 launched. | 14:43 |
| tomreyn | pizzaburger: and certainly marked as "experimental"? | 14:43 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: can't recall, but would say no. Would they include experimental features as default options? | 14:44 |
| tomreyn | not as default, but as experimental features, yes | 14:45 |
| pizzaburger | tomreyn: ok, googling on how to recover a zfs pool. Thanks! | 14:47 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, the desktop-file-validate say "Encoding=" is deprecated, could I just remove it then? | 14:49 |
| varaindemian | SnoopJ: installed it with sudo apt python3:i386 how can I see that this is what it uses? | 14:49 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, I think it is ok. | 14:50 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: yes | 14:53 |
| tomreyn | varaindemian: dpkg -L python3:i386 | grep -E '^(/usr)/s?bin/' should list executables provided by the package you installed | 14:58 |
| hajonnes | how can I copy or write a path in to nautilus? | 14:59 |
| SnoopJ | varaindemian, I'm not sure, I've never done multi-arch, don't even know if you can have multiple arch versions of the same package installed simultaneously. | 14:59 |
| SnoopJ | I wouldn't recommend trying it even if it's possible, dist-packages is basically designed to explode | 15:00 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: Ctrl-L | 15:00 |
| tomreyn | (lower case L) | 15:00 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: btw. it's called GNOME Files now (in case you'll try to find documentation) | 15:02 |
| matsaman | which you won't be able to with a name like 'files' =) | 15:02 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, ok thank you! :) Do you know how to get the icon for a program when I build the .desktop. When I start the program the icon gets engaged and shows (at least before I created the .desktop file) can I somhow see what the program is using. I have tried to search for -iname xmind.ico, png, jpg, swg. but no luck | 15:09 |
| hajonnes | xmind being the program name. | 15:09 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, found some versions of icons. but still, is it possible to see what xmind is using? | 15:14 |

| wonko[m] | * what is `libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0` and why is it being installed? | 15:19 |
| SnoopJ | to the first question: 'GStreamer libraries from the "bad" set' https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 the base/good/bad/ugly division is from gstreamer itself apparently: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/additional/splitup.html | 15:24 |

| SnoopJ | ah, and so it is | 15:31 |
| wonko[m] | what the hell is madlinux? | 15:31 |
| SnoopJ | wonko[m], so as to the "why," that's because apt sees the package in the Ubuntu repositories and wants to upgrade to it | 15:32 |
| wonko[m] | I remove the madlinux source | 15:32 |
| wonko[m] | things are much happier now | 15:32 |

| logranrun | so on the control pannel it has "Online Accounts". It looks like google drive is integrated into the file explorer. I am trying to figure out how one drive works since there is a microsoft option, but I don't see the drive mounted anywhere | 17:21 |
| rfm | logranrun, I installed the "onedrive" package to use it. I seem to remember something about it not working on 20.04, though (I built it from source there.) On 21.04 it works OK except a compiler bug makes it dump core on exit. Setting it up is a bit complicated too, read the docs | 17:26 |
| logranrun | rfm, I am familiar with the ondrive executible | 17:32 |

| oldgalileo | mcon: Pretty sure it's `adapt`? | 17:37 |
| logranrun | guess i am stuck with onedrive, the down side to that was you basically have to keep a mirror of the onedrive stored locally I think, or at least the part you use | 17:38 |
| logranrun | adapt? | 17:38 |
| ioria | i think he's looking for debootstrap and schroot | 17:39 |
| ioria | mcon, ^ unless you want to install a vm or lxc | 17:41 |
| mcon | oldgalileo: No, AFAIK "adapt" makes some old software run in the current distribution. My need is the reverse: I have a build environment (not part of ubuntu distribution) expecting to run under Ubuntu 16.04. It generally works also with current (20.04), but in certain instances fails (e.g.: while compiling some selinux packages). | 17:42 |
| mcon | Current "solution" is to run in a VirtualBox VM, but that is very heavy. | 17:42 |

| tomreyn | hajonnes: since the xmind 'executable' is a likely a .jar file (a java archive, actually a zip archive), there's a good chance you'll find an icon sized image file in it. idally, icons and logos should be in SVG format, but several other formats (such as those you mentioned) will work, too. the .Desktop file can point to an image file you placed on disk. common locations to store such files are /usr/share/icons/ and ~/.local/share/icons/ | 17:59 |

| tomreyn | hello carnophage2, and welcome to ubuntu (volunteer) support. | 18:22 |
| pizzaburger | !archive | 18:26 |
| tomreyn | logranrun: from what i remember, there are two usable onedrive clients available for Linux. Both of which do not immediately provide a GUI (but i think they describe ways to integrate with existing GUIs, such as GNOME Files / Nautilus). The one that's in Ubuntu (also available in never releases from a PPA), and another one. At least the first one is configurable. While it defaults to the 'full mirror' approach you discussed, later versions can | 18:29 |
| tomreyn | also run in the 'only access over the network' (and maybe also the 'only mirror what's regularly used') approach. The second implementation actually defaults to this approach. | 18:29 |
| carnophage2 | hey tom | 18:30 |
| carnophage2 | i want to set it up | 18:31 |
| carnophage2 | where hexchat starts when i turn on my vm | 18:31 |
| carnophage2 | i run ubuntu | 18:31 |
| carnophage2 | i added hexchat in the startup programs | 18:31 |
| carnophage2 | and it still doesn't start up when i turn on the vm | 18:31 |

| hajonnes | I do not find the keyboard layout I want in the settings but it is installed. I can activate it by "setxkbmap eu". How do I make it permanent and how do I select it from the gui @ubutntu 20.04 | 18:40 |
| carnophage2 | ubottu ok i did not know. | 18:40 |
| tomreyn | Merritt: if this is a Kubuntu specific issue (it could be, and I assume it is also "nvidia" driver specific), you may want to ask about it in #kubuntu instead. | 18:42 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: this is euskalherria, right? | 18:44 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, no it is eurokey https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/download.html | 18:50 |
| hajonnes | sorry eurkey | 18:50 |
| hajonnes | under "Choose your installation" | 18:51 |
| tomreyn | i would not strictly expect this to be already packaged | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | ...in ubuntu | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | and, at least in ISO-639-1, "eu" is definitely short for "euskal" (basque) | 18:54 |

| hajonnes | tomreyn, it is packed in ubuntu. but since it is US keyboard with altGr to make special characters I tried to find it under US. Do you know where it is stored, I tried to search for euskara but could not find anything. | 19:06 |
| tomreyn | hajonnes: you're saying it's packaged, then you'll know the package name? you can show all the files in a deb package using dpkg -L <packagename> and this may hint on how to select it on the GUI. | 19:09 |
| hajonnes | tomreyn, I'm not sure, "setxkbmap eu" results in the eurkey keyboard layout. So it must exist in some package. it also says on the homepage that it is included in xkeyboard-config 2.12 and newer. But I do not know more than that. | 19:22 |
| Sayona | Hi, I need some help with VLC on ubuntu, I have two separate windows for display + another one for control.. how I can to be only one windows when I start vlc? | 19:39 |
| Liblx | Hello, I have closed all apps and terminals using my external drive but I still can't diconnect it safely. Is there a way to find the process using the drive? | 19:54 |
| kodiak_f | philisophical question. Better to place /boot on LVM or on a raw partition? I see pros and cons | 19:56 |

| TJ- | anyone else noticed that dhclient doesn't send its hostname despite the /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf "send host-name = gethostname();" ? | 20:09 |
| Simplar | Can I use legacy Unity from Ubuntu 14.04? | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | Simplar: no, nothing from Ubuntu 14.04 is supported any longer. There is still a maintained Unity project AFAIK though so you should be able to use that | 20:25 |
| Simplar | What would you recommend by the way in place of unity? | 20:25 |
| tomreyn | !info ubuntu-unity-desktop | 20:26 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-unity-desktop (0.3, hirsute): The Ubuntu Unity desktop system. In component universe, is optional. Built by ubuntu-unity-meta. Size 4 kB / 8 kB. (Only available for amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el.) | 20:26 |
| leftyfb | Simplar: I would recommend gnome shell which is the default in ubuntu | 20:27 |
| tomreyn | it only has community support, though. the default and most supported desktop would be ubuntu-desktop (based on the gnome shell) | 20:27 |
| leftyfb | Simplar: free free to ask for more opinions in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:27 |

| Lutin | hi guys... I'm wondering what resoved uses by default as its (forward) DNS servers... it seems to use my local ISP's ones but I don't see them define anywhere | 22:07 |
| toddc | Lutin: if we assume you are using default dhcp service DNS is confiured in you router all traffic goes from laptop to router then to the internet and external dns | 22:14 |
| toddc | Lutin: you can overide any of those settings | 22:15 |
| Lutin | toddc true... indeed... can resolved use the rootservers ? | 22:16 |
| Lutin | toddc yeah I know but didn't thought of DHCP :) | 22:16 |
| toddc | Lutin: if you change your laptop to say google DNS you will not find other local computers on your network so normally we set DNS at the router level | 22:20 |
| Lutin | toddc yeah but this is a public VPS... that's why | 22:20 |
| toddc | Lutin: I like to set all my computers/servers to static IP and gateways routes ect then I do not need dhcp service --more stable | 22:23 |
| Lutin | toddc yeah I agree but this is pretty solid | 22:23 |
| Lutin | toddc I wonder how I can make resolved use the rootservers | 22:24 |
| toddc | edit /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml to your liking | 22:25 |
| TJ- | Lutin: you should never use the root servers as resolver | 22:26 |
| Lutin | TJ- why not ? what do you think a real resolver uses ? | 22:26 |
| Lutin | toddc I was hoping that resolved had those servers in hardcoded | 22:27 |
| toddc | Lutin: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/network-configuration no -- I agree with TJ- I avoid it/always used a local DNS that forwards to a external | 22:30 |
| TJ- | root servers provide hints but they're not intended for recursive resolving for clients | 22:31 |
| TJ- | If it is a VPS then using the ISP's recursive resolvers, or a public service like Cloudflare, Quad9, or similar, is the best option | 22:32 |
| Lutin | toddc not when you are not in control of the DNS servers... powerdns recursor can fix it also | 22:32 |
| Lutin | TJ- hints ? | 22:33 |
| TJ- | use bind as a recursive resolver then it's all yours, no forwarder | 22:43 |
| hajonnes | is there a place where I can put a setxkbmap command that gets executed on startup? .xinitrc does not work. I think gnome is overriding a lot of stuff. | 22:48 |
| noarb | in order to print to a CUPS ubuntu server from a separate CUPS service running on both, or is there a smaller client available? | 22:55 |
| noarb | sorry, kind of gibberish. If an ubuntu server is running CUPs and has a printer attached and shareable, is the full CUPS suite required on clients to print to that server? | 22:56 |

| BinarySavior | when i get a crash "The application APPNAME has closed unexpectedly" where does it log all the details? | 23:14 |
| BinarySavior | i would like to attach it to a bug report | 23:14 |
| Lutin | would it be possible to install bind and make it listen only on localhost ? | 23:39 |
