[00:09] seems like a fulls cups is needed even to be a client: https://lists.cups.org/pipermail/cups/2015-October/027229.html [00:45] when i use apt remove libqt5gui5, apt automatically installs libqt5gui5-gles at the same time, why does that happen? [00:50] BinarySavior: most likely to satisfy a dependency which was previously provided by libqt5gui5 === genii is now known as genii-core [01:13] where can i find the full thread trace for a segfault? [01:13] i see the segfault in dmesg but it's lacking the details i'm looking for [01:15] in /var/crash if it was handled by apport [01:16] see apport-unpack === M4he is now known as mahe [01:31] thank you tomreyn [01:36] apport-unpack crashed lol [01:36] ValueError: ['separator'] has no binary content [01:36] but it looks like it got most of the info unpacked already [01:37] maybe it's incomplete, or your systems' python installation is broken [03:23] so i have these .img files that were partitioned on 32GB Sd cards. But i'm aware that they actually hold like 1GB of data [03:23] what is the right procedure to reduce its size? [03:23] can it be done in the .img itself? [03:26] Is anyone there? [03:27] clark: post your question and someone will answer [03:29] luizfrds: I think the .img is compressed so no. any changes must be made to the installed image [03:30] i don't think so. why would it have the full partition size? [03:30] like 32GB [03:32] luizfrds: I used the raspbeery pi image often. I write it the disk the expand the partition to the disk size [03:32] yeah.. i might want to do the oposite [03:33] if possible doing on the .img files would be awesom [03:33] but this isn't an issue to be fair [03:34] https://itstillworks.com/drive-not-mounting-mac-terminal-12058343.html [04:37] In hosts.deny I can do `sshd: all except /some/file`. Can that /some/file contain comments? === RonnieDobbs is now known as Ronnie === Ronnie is now known as RonnieDobbs === saribro is now known as swinnenb [07:08] Hello, I have duplicate icons on the desktop after upgrating to ubuntu 21.04 [07:11] The duplicates cannot be removed [07:11] Where is the problem? [07:46] varan: Do you have multiple versions of the desktop icons extension added? You can check with the Gnome Extensions app. === JordanBerlyn is now known as Berlyn [08:04] Hm, it looks like the only way I'm going to be able to move my setup to my new laptop is with an HDD transplant via expansion bay, because the new device's built-in SDD isn't even big enough to hold my /home directory! [08:10] Hey all. How straight forward is it to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu on two separate drives? [08:10] Berlyn: pretty easy [08:11] if you're using uefi, i'd use an efi partition for each one on its drive so they're stand-alone installs [08:12] Yeah, running UEFI. Would that just mean when I want to swap between operating systems, I just select the boot priority during boot. [08:12] Berlyn: Not as easy as it used to be. In particular, some computer models require reconfiguration first [08:13] I can say this because I just spent the last ~5 hours on that project [08:13] What kind of reconfiguration? [08:14] alkisg: Some machines now by default are set to use a proprietary device driver for their hard drive, which is not available for Linux. [08:15] ipatrol: and how is this related to dual boot? Wouldn't that be an issue in single boot too? [08:16] The BIOS can be configured to use the open standard instead, but on such computers the Windows install doesn't by default include those drivers, so making that change without fixing the driver issue on Windows will cause it to fail to boot. [08:17] I'm still trying to solve a performance issue on Ubuntu, hence wanting to dual boot for the interim. [08:19] Also, on most UEFI systems, you have to enter the boot order systems from within the Windows OS, just FYI. [08:19] (I think GRUB can also do that once it's configured) [08:20] Berlyn: just set ubuntu up as the boot priority, and in its grub you'll have windows and be able to boot that from there, if you ever remove the ubuntu hdd windows will still have its efi partition on its own drive [08:22] EriC^^: If the AHCI setting isn't configured, Ubuntu will be unable to recognize the hard disk. [08:23] I'm having a really strange issue on Ubuntu with my GTX1070. I have the proprietary drivers installed but whenever I watch a video on Firefox, everything starts to run really slow. [08:23] Windows moving around, resizing, etc. [08:23] And my CPU will sit at like 30-40%. [08:23] Doing the same thing on Windows, get like 2-3% CPu usage. It's almost as if Firefox isn't utilising my GPU to play the videos. [08:23] Is that an Ubuntu issue or a Firefox issue? [08:24] I am not experiencing the same issue on Firefox on my laptop which also uses an NVIDIA dGPU. [08:26] Go to about:support and search for differences between these systems [08:26] (that's a url in firefox address bar) [08:27] Hi, please let me know if there is any opensource REST client, which I can install on Ubuntu Server? [08:28] I'm sure there is, though "REST client" is a fairly broad term [08:29] ipatrol: I'm looking for postman kind of software which can run on ubuntu server and members can use after login. [08:32] Not familiar enough with that to help on the matter [08:32] ipatrol: ok, thanks! [08:32] alkisg, Compositing is set to WebRender (Software). [08:32] God * [08:33] what's happening ? so many people terminated at once? [08:33] Netsplit! [08:33] are they bots? [08:34] ipatrol: oh! [08:34] Apparently IRC still hasn't fixed the netsplit problem [08:38] tried to install python on 32 bits on an ubuntu x64 and failed [08:38] `sudo apt python3:i386 ` [08:38] any idea how I can accomplish this? [08:38] varaindemian: what is the error message? [08:39] ayrus: installation successfully, restarted the machine and I had no gui [08:40] I think you need `ia32-libs` [08:41] varaindemian: dpkg -l ia32-libs if that is present in your system then the output should be like this (ii ia32-libs ...) === denningsrogue9 is now known as denningsrogue [08:42] varaindemian: python2.7 -c 'import struct;print( 8 * struct.calcsize("P"))' [08:43] ayrus: I restored the setup [08:43] ok [08:43] now I have a clean install and I am looking for a way to have python3 32-bit on ubuntu 20.04 x64 [08:44] varaindemian: you can have a virtual box of ubuntu 32 bit and install python on that one. [08:44] is there a log of all the responses that is printed in the term. i.e. like 'history' but for responses. [08:45] hajonnes: what kind of responses, I didn't get that? [08:45] ayrus: I know but my current CAPEv2 sandbox setup requires python3 on 32 bits but most of the things I'd like to detonated in that sandbox are on 64 bits so they won't work [08:46] varaindemian: oh! [08:47] ayrus: hajonnes probably refers to commands output [08:47] ayrus, I tried to install with 'apt' and got response in termial that some of the things were already added to certain files. I would like to review that message again. is it possible? [08:47] varaindemian, yes that is it [08:48] hajonnes: oh, yes you can log. but by default I don't think so ubuntu logs the output of the command. [08:48] hajonnes: you can use `script` to log [08:48] hajonnes: or you can use https://asciinema.org/ to log all output input and play it later using this. [08:49] ayrus, thank you! that looks good. otherwise 'script' you mean I should build a script that does it? [08:50] hajonnes: no, there is command named as script, which you can record the output to a txt file [08:50] hajonnes: script terminal.log [08:51] hajonnes: like this, it will log all the output to that file. [08:51] hajonnes: And don't cross-post. I just gave the same answer (script(1) or ascineema) in #linux [08:51] *asciinema [08:52] ayrus, nice. Thanks again. do you by any chance know where to put the command if I want to auto load it at startup? [08:53] geirha, ok. but sometimes you do not get an answer in one channel, then you try an other. [08:58] hajonnes: you can put it on ~.bash_profile and ~.bash_logout and save the output to the dynamic current timestamp and file path. [09:18] ayrus, I do not really understand dynamic current timestamp and file path, what do you mean? [09:21] hajonnes: it's basically shell scripting. you need to create a variable to store the current timestamp, so that when you log on to terminal it will start script and store the output the different file every time. [09:22] hajonnes: like variable TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S), then use it as "script $TIMESTAMP.terminal_log.txt" in your bash profile. [09:23] ayrus, ok I will have to look in to and learn som shell scripting, it is good to know anyway. [09:24] hajonnes: yes, it's good to learn shell scripting if you are working in linux for automation. [09:25] ayrus, on that note. I would like to run 'setxkbmap eu' every time gnome has started. do you have a suggestion on how to do that. why I would like to do that is because I can not select my keymap in gnome. [09:27] hajonnes: you can use crontab to run it at the time of restart. It will run after the server start, but not when the gnome start. [09:28] cron doesn't have access to the current session nor to DISPLAY, it won't work [09:28] hajonnes: or you can run the shell script to start the gnome and after that put a line for this command also. [09:28] You can run setxkbmap from /etc/xdg/autostart; but as I said a couple of days ago, it would be better to run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration` instead [09:28] hajonnes: then run that shell script [09:29] alkisg: oh, thanks for the information. [09:30] how can I make nvidia primary GPU in wayland? [09:31] alkisg: will that not run by the cron by `@reboot any_command` ? [09:32] ayrus: the setxkbmap command needs access to xorg, like running e.g. xterm [09:32] Running xterm at reboot from cron won't work either [09:32] As there's no DISPLAY to draw to [09:32] Does anyone here have a good solution for building `systemd` in a docker image? [09:33] alkisg: ok, I got it. he got different scenario. [09:34] alkisg, I tried your suggestion, will try to reboot and see if it worked. === Starmina_ is now known as Starmina [09:35] oldgalileo: https://medium.com/swlh/docker-and-systemd-381dfd7e4628 [09:39] ayrus: Thanks for the link. I'm talking about building `systemd` itself, rather than a unit file [09:39] oldgalileo: ok [09:40] ayrus: Was having a bit of trouble getting it built on a not-so-fresh machine :/ [09:40] alkisg, It did not work. I tried it when you suggested it a couple of days ago also but it did not work then either. only 'setxkbmap eu' works. the problem is that I can not find my keyboard layout when running dpkg-reconfigure. and when I run 'setkbmap eu' and then dpkg-reconfigure and choose keep keyboard map the setting is not persistent between boots. [09:41] do you know what is wrong? [09:43] alkisg, I think one of the problems is that I do not know where the 'eu' settings is. the settings are ordered by country. the eu keymap is a us keymap with european special symbols under altGr combinations. [09:45] so to use your suggestion I first have to know under what country the eu keymap is registered if it at all exists. Do you know how to see that? [09:49] hajonnes, you looking for '£'? [09:50] ledeni, I'm using åäö since I'm swedish. [09:56] hajonnes,did you try English uk [10:01] ledeni, Haha... perhaps you solved it....I will try. I thought there were a difference between us and uk english keyboard and since I think eurkey uses us layout I must have missed it. [10:02] hajonnes, 👍 [10:02] How stable are non-LTS versions for every day use on a desktop machine? [10:02] ledeni, the eurkey does not exist in dpkg-reconfigure under uk. but I found it in gnome setting when I scrolled under uk... [10:05] ledeni, sometimes you need to have someone point out stuff to you because you have spent to much time struggling with a problem that you can not think outside your own circle of thoughts. I will try to reboot and see if the settings persists. [10:05] thanks. [10:05] Berlyn: blaze forward on the righteous path of non-LTS releases and pave the way for the next generation [10:06] oldgalileo, Almost all of my servers are always running the LTS, I've only just recently started experimenting with Linux on the desktop [10:06] Running 20.04 on this laptop, just because it's what I know [10:12] Berlyn: Haha just giving you a hard time [10:12] oldgalileo, You're the only one convincing me right now. 1 vote to me upgrading to 21.04, 0 votes against haha [10:16] ledeni, it worked! Thank you. :D [10:16] hajonnes, great 👍 [10:18] alkisg, sorry for 'frustrating' and thanks for your input, it is people knowledgeable as you that makes this irc channel truly marvelous! :D [10:19] hajonnes: sorry I was afk, did you find the solution? [10:19] What's the keyboard layout name for swedish? [10:20] From what I can see, `setxkbmap se` should allow you to type the euro key with right alt + e [10:21] alkisg, 'se' I think but it was a long time since I used it, I have a us layout kinesis keyboard and I touch type us and for special signs I use altGr combinations. [10:23] alkisg, it is not the euro sign eurkey manages but it is a us layout with a lot of, if not all the speical characters you find in european languages reached by altGr combinations. If you want to take a look: https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/layout.html [10:24] The us(euro) layout has the euro key in right alt + 5 [10:24] I think you're looking for that one? Let me upload a screenshot... [10:24] ayrus, thanks for your help as well :) [10:25] hajonnes: your welcome :) [10:25] ayrus :) [10:25] This feels extraordinarily stupid, but how do I install a package from the source found here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/234-2ubuntu13 [10:25] I've grabbed the 1debian.tar.xz1 [10:26] *`debian.tar.xz` [10:26] alkisg ok [10:26] In that tarball, there isn't a make file, autoconf, or anything like that [10:26] :/ [10:26] * alkisg uploaded an image: (56KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/JJSKIRVTVmenjDQyplsJCpGf/us-euro.png > [10:26] hajonnes: did matrix sent a picture link above? ^ [10:26] (I'm not using an IRC client, I'm using matrix to irc bridge) [10:26] alkisg: That's sick. [10:27] These are the keys of `setxkbmap us(euro)` [10:27] alkisg: That worked really seamlessly. [10:27] alkisg, yes it worked. [10:27] oldgalileo: nah, it's actually a very modern and slick way to use IRC [10:27] Great, drag'n'drop, no more imgur :D [10:28] Damn maybe I'll have to set that up. [10:28] Just hopped onto a new M1 mac and haven't gotten around to configuring `wechat` [10:28] alkisg, how did you do that with the picture, I'm on hexchat can I do the same or do I need matrix? [10:28] Was looking around for a better IRC client and the pickings are slim on `macOS` [10:28] hajonnes: I don't see a description of a "eu" layout in `man xkeyboard-config` [10:30] * alkisg uploaded an image: (76KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/UwzGWAiUJdxwYlLCvyeqXtfx/eu.png > [10:30] That's the `setxkbmap eu` layout ^ [10:30] alkisg, the eu layout is preinstalled in ubuntu. according to the eurkey homepage it is shipped with xkeyboard-config 2.12 and newer it if it is applicable. [10:31] alkisg, that is the one I wanted but could not find in dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration [10:32] Maybe it's not there yet, in which case you'd need to put it manually in /etc/default/keyboard-configuration [10:32] Then xorg will pick it up and use it in the login screen and in all the desktop environments [10:32] dpkg -L xkb-data | grep -w eu [10:32] /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/eu [10:33] Let me see if it's available in keyboard-configuration... [10:34] alkisg, ok [10:35] Okay I seriously feel stupid [10:35] I do not understand how to build this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/234-2ubuntu13 [10:39] hajonnes: no it's not; a bug report should be filed; in the mean time you can put it in /etc/default/keyboard manually [10:40] alkisg,could you file the bug report? I do not really know how. [10:41] WHO #channel [10:41] WHO #ubuntu [10:41] hajonnes: no, sorry, but I'm sure there are many tutorials for reporting bugs [10:42] !bug | hajonnes [10:42] hajonnes: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [10:42] alkisg, ok I do it. should I file it to ubuntu? or some package maintainer? [10:43] alkisg, sorry for my ignorance but what package is it? [10:44] hajonnes: first you need a launchpad account, then pinpoin the right package to bug against [10:44] hajonnes: after that you can ubuntu-bug your-package from a terminal [10:44] lotuspsychje,ok I will try to make it... [10:46] alkisg, so I would make a text file in /etc/default/ with the name keyboard-configuration and in the text file I should give the path to the eu keyboard layout? [10:49] hajonnes: the file /etc/default/keyboard should already be there; you should be able to edit it [10:50] And yes, ubuntu-bug keyboard-configuration [10:50] alkisg, do you know how to set the same keyboard configuration in 'tty mode' [10:50] how can I make nvidia primary GPU in wayland? [10:51] hajonnes: from the same file, it should also affect console [10:54] alkisg, the settings are: BLAYOUT=eurkey [10:54] 2 BACKSPACE=guess in /etc/default/keyboard. Is it already correct? [10:54] sorry should be: BLAYOUT=eurkey [10:54] BACKSPACE=guess [10:54] The settings are reported if you run `setxkbmap -query` [10:54] You can then put the same settings in the configuration file [10:56] Also, when you say "BLAYOUT" I guess you mean "XKBLAYOUT"... [11:00] alkisg, yes. that is true. my keyboard file looks like this now https://pastebin.com/56H1qPE4 [11:00] I commented out the previous settings. [11:01] does it look ok? [11:01] I changed pc105 to kinesis since I use a kinesis keyboard. [11:02] alkisg, ^ [11:03] FWIW: Learned how to build that stuff I linked earlier. [11:03] The `.dsc` instructs `dpkg` on how to patch and build [11:04] Now I'm in dependency downgrade hell, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms [11:06] alkisg,brb I will try to reboot. [11:24] hajonnes: if I understood you correctly, you were looking for layout: eu, not eurkey,us [11:24] But, whatever works for you :) [11:40] alkisg, I think they are one and the same 'setxkbmap eu' is the command to get eurkey via setxkbmap. then in gnome I can set 'eurkey' under UK keyboards. but eurkey does not work under tty...I know there are two different systems in xwindows and tty. I'll look in to it. [11:40] where's /etc/default/locale come from? [11:43] looks like update-locale will create it.. hrm [11:44] hajonnes: no, eurkey is one key, while eu is a whole keyboard layout with many keys [12:00] alkisg, With all the settings I have done I'm not totally sure that I'm right. but in gnome settings>region & launguage > Input Sources, I can select UK>EurKEY and get the same layout as if I would use the command 'setxkbmap eu'. The homepage of the layout calls it EurKEY as well. https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/ [12:02] hajonnes: you can set whatever you want in gnome (I don't have gnome); then, type `setxkbmap -query` and see the result [12:03] But in general, you don't need to set anything in gnome; it should respect whatever you have set in xorg [12:04] (which is the same as in the console, so one file for everything is enough) [12:04] alkisg, ok. then the layout is: 'eurkey,us'. have you looked at the pastebin I sent you. is the format correct? https://pastebin.com/56H1qPE4 [12:05] setxkbmap eurkey [12:05] Error loading new keyboard description [12:05] It's not a valid layout [12:05] So it won't work in the config file either [12:06] I just pasted the return from "setxkbmap -query" [12:07] in the /etc/default/keyboard [12:07] and commented out the previous settings. [12:08] Hello! Can't boot to login screen on my Ubuntu 20.10 laptop, drive encrypted with ZFS. After I unlock the drive I get taken to Emergency Mode with the following message: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tZX6yMJ2P6/. After pressing Ctrl+D I get this message: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KRFnnYJkCS/. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this? Thanks! [12:08] alkisg, try setxkbmap eurkey,us it works for me. [12:17] Hi all [12:17] hajonnes, $ setxkbmap eurkey,us [12:17] Error loading new keyboard description [12:17] hajonnes: i'm on ubuntu 20.04, what are you using? [12:18] alkisg, strange. I do not get any errors. [12:18] On 20.04? [12:19] yes. ubuntu default flavour 20.04 [12:19] On xorg or on wayland? [12:20] if you run 'setxkbmap eu' and then do 'setxkbmap -query'. I do not know I just installed it and do not know how to check. [12:21] Pastebin the output of `xrandr` to see if it says XWAYLAND or not [12:21] setxkbmap eu works properly [12:22] Has anyone gotten `systemd >237` running on 18.04.05 LTS? [12:23] alkisg, what does setxkbmap -query return? [12:25] alkisg, I think I'm on Xorg. https://pastebin.com/ybpRmnMw [12:27] I did test from https://newbedev.com/how-can-i-tell-if-i-am-running-wayland, Im on Xorg. [12:27] alkisg, ^ [12:40] alkisg, you know, it does not matter so much to me. now all is well and all works. so if you are satisfied with it I'm as well and thanks for your help :) === go4godvin is now known as frytaped [12:45] $ setxkbmap -query [12:45] rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: eu [12:45] hajonnes: sure! [12:45] alkisg, :) [12:46] I should install 'gcc make perl' for my distribution to get virutalbox to work. I 'sudo apt-get install build-essentials'. I know I get gcc then. but how do I find the other things? [12:47] well I need pearl. I have make [12:48] I use 'which make' to see if I have make, and so on, is that correct. [12:48] ? [12:49] hajonnes, i prefer 'type -a perl' [12:53] ioria, what is the pros of type -a? [12:54] hajonnes, type --help [12:55] hajonnes: for one type also shows if it's an alias or not [12:56] EriC^^, ioria, nice! thanks for the tip :) [12:57] ok [12:57] what is this? === frodo_ is now known as frodo [13:18] Hi, I have an old, old PC that I'd like to connect to my network, but the only way to do that with stuff I have would be over a serial null modem. Is there a simple way in Ubuntu to share a connection over a serial null modem? [13:28] If I want to install e.g. perl language to program in perl. is there an easy way to determine what packages to install without searching the net? I have tried 'apt search perl' and 'aptitude search perl' and get flooded with packages. [13:33] hajonnes: perl-base should already be installed by default. No need to install anything else to use perl [13:36] leftyfb, you are probably right. I just wanted to have a general idea of how to use search functions. Like is there a hierarchy among packages. i.e. to use perl all packages need some fundamental perl to work. then how do I decipher which packages are the fundamental ones? [13:37] hajonnes: fundamental is relative [13:39] hajonnes: in the case of just "perl" , I looked up where perl exists on my machine using "which perl", which gave "/usr/bin/perl" and then used apt-file to search for which packages that binary could come from; "apt-file search /usr/bin/perl". Looking through the list of packages I determined that perl-base made the most sense and checked to make sure it's installed by default by looking at a fresh ubuntu 21.04 lxd container [13:40] No need for apt-file: $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/perl [13:40] perl-base: /usr/bin/perl [13:40] hajonnes: "perl" is a very bad example since anyone who is familiar with perl should know that perl is made up of hundreds of perl libraries, utilities, IDE's, etc. [13:41] hajonnes: searching apt for the term "perl" is like searching google for "a" [13:52] Hi all. I have miraculously enabled all 3 displays (including an external GPU). The one thing that didn't seem to be honored from /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the layout. I had to do that with whatever ubuntu uses (I think xrandr). My question is: Where is xrandr's config? [13:53] I want to get this into an article and hopefully save days of peoples' lives [13:55] jabberwock: it doesn't http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html [13:56] leftyfb, Thanks. That leaves my question as "Where is my layout saved?" [13:56] jabberwock: maybe check ~/.config/monitors.xml [13:57] That looks golden! Thank you :) Is this a ubuntu-specific config? [13:58] jabberwock: probably gnome-specific [13:58] Er, right. I tend to collapse them into one as I use the default install. I appreciate you being specific [13:59] because by that logic we should all be in #linux lol [13:59] you can configure XRandR from xorg.conf I believe, but I've always just talked to the command-line tool from wm initialization when needed [13:59] \o SnoopJ [13:59] * SnoopJ bewares jabberwock [14:00] SnoopJ, I've gone from kubuntu to manjaro+xfce, to manjaro+sway, to ubuntu/gnome. kubuntu seems like a vast expanse of dominoes; when they fall... it's impractical to find the origin [14:00] lol, SON! [14:01] So far I love kubutnu/kde/plasma visually, but I can't deal with the bugs. I've also submitted fixes. for e.g. icloud sync in korganizer, but no movement on it [14:01] so... back to good ol' faithful === glider_ is now known as glider [14:03] I go between GNOME/i3 these days, but not so much i3 at the moment. [14:04] I really love the simplicity and speed of i3 and sway. I was going to burst a blood vessel if I spent any more time trying to get this display arrangement working [14:05] More than a few dalliances with Lubuntu, but thankfully wms are a little less variable these days [14:05] and that was my first experience with wayland so it's probably pure ignorance on my part [14:05] * jabberwock nods [14:05] I used to be a "fluxbox and only fluxbox" sort, but now I'm not [14:05] hehe. That was me and Enlightenment [14:09] leftyfb, ok. apt-file is good to know, thanks for the information. Yes you are right, a lot of hits. but it would be interesting if you had a search term and then got the results and inside the resluts you could compare what packages in the search result are most used as dependencies for the other packages int the search result. Then you could make a qualified guess of what packages are the most important. is there a function like that? [14:11] hajonnes, can you present something as if it has just been released? [14:11] s/something/this idea [14:24] jabberwock ?? I do not understand what you mean? [14:28] jabberwock s /apt search / apt search | histogram over # of times a file is listed as dependencies [14:29] ^e.g. [14:29] hi === genii-core is now known as genii [15:49] !ping [15:49] pong! === huzursuz is now known as toad-x [16:39] Hello, do you know how to stitch multiple jsons into one? [16:53] Using what tool? You can just replace the last } with a comma in an editor... [16:54] i installed openvpn , put config as /etc/openvpn/client.conf and uncommented AUTOSTART="all" line in /etc/default/openvpn [16:55] but still the config is not loaded automatically when i start service [16:55] please help me :( [17:00] pk__, I'm not an expert in openvpn, but you mentioned service (server), and your config is for client? [17:01] on server side also openvpn serverice runs in server mode and on client side openvpn service runs as client mode [17:07] ok i had forgotten to do systemctl daemon-reload after uncommenting AUTOSTART="all" in /etc/default/openvpn [17:07] now it works [17:09] hi all, need help mounting an external hdd via usb, it isn't loading [17:16] Safiyyah: what have you tried? What error are you getting? What format is it? What version of ubuntu are you running? [17:16] Safiyyah: what does lsblk -f say? [17:18] matsaman: I'm a fan of lsblk -o +type -e7 -o +FSTYPE [17:19] leftyfb: hahaha [17:19] leftyfb, I am on ubuntu mate 20.04, nothing is coming up [17:19] the drives lights are on but nothing [17:19] Safiyyah: coming up from what? [17:20] matsaman: open a terminal and type: lsblk -o +type -e7 -o +FSTYPE | nc termbin.com 9999 # and share the URL here [17:20] Safiyyah: can you run 'lsblk -f' and pastebin the output somewhere? [17:23] matsaman, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/3K6tjzKsvs/ [17:23] holy snappocalypse [17:24] -o +type e7 :) [17:24] Safiyyah: this output does suggest that your drive is not detected [17:24] Safiyyah: try unplugging the usb, then open a terminal and run "dmesg -Tw" then plug the flash drive in. [17:24] Safiyyah: are you expecting there to be data on it already? [17:24] Safiyyah: then anything that changes in the dmesg window, pastebin here [17:25] matsaman yes there is data [17:28] Safiyyah: data put on there from what OS? [17:28] Safiyyah, as said above, unplug the device, plug in again and run 'dmesg | tail -20 | nc termbin.com 9999' [17:28] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/p7jvrcyHkg/ [17:28] it is just hanging [17:29] from ubuntu mate 20.04 and the previous LTS mate [17:29] the data is from ubuntu mate lts current and previous one [17:30] this is from an Ubuntu you have installed and are running, not from a live OS? [17:30] Safiyyah: the only thing that has been plugged in is a usb mouse [17:31] https://termbin.com/jszw [17:31] Safiyyah: is this what you are plugging in? https://media.accobrands.com/media/560-560/368572.jpg?width=680px&height=449px [17:32] leftB thats for the mouse [17:32] I can take it out [17:32] Safiyyah: right, that is the only thing that is being unplugged and plugged in according to your kernel [17:32] Safiyyah: try a different USB port [17:32] that ^ [17:32] https://termbin.com/qvzw [17:33] https://termbin.com/qvzv [17:33] https://termbin.com/wb13 [17:34] Safiyyah: did you try a different USB port yet? [17:34] Safiyyah: did you try every USB port you have? [17:34] I did but I will do it again [17:35] not looking for dmesg output so much as looking for the drive to show up normally [17:35] but you can check dmesg if you want [17:35] matsaman: dmesg is step #1 [17:35] https://termbin.com/pdfx [17:35] so far it's been like steps 1-8 [17:36] Safiyyah: there are zero mass storage devices being plugged in. [17:36] Safiyyah: or if so, you have a hardware issue [17:36] I don't know how to prove to you that the drive is plugged in [17:36] if you try every usb port and it works on none of them, you very well could have a hardware issue [17:37] try every port, put your hand on the drive and feel if it's spinning each time [17:37] Safiyyah: your kernel is not picking up anything being plugged in at all. You have a hardware issue. Cables or the devices itself. [17:37] or a power issue [17:37] or ^ [17:37] oh [17:37] I don't know how to prove to you that the drive is plugged in [17:37] Safiyyah: what model device is this? [17:37] Safiyyah: you don't need to [17:38] its a Western Digital [17:38] model# please [17:40] Safiyyah, you know, the only way is to take it out and connect it irectly to the MB (unless it's a laptop, and i guess it is); or find another pc or try to change the cable (sometimes a double-usb cable might solve the issue) [17:40] but you should try every USB port first [17:40] WD elements SE 14198 CbAdCa [17:41] the common problem is the autosuspend thing [17:42] my guess is, this is a USB3 drive that requires a bit more power and we're plugging it into a usb2 drive [17:42] drive/port [17:42] yeah [17:42] Safiyyah: what color is the usb port you are plugging into? [17:42] on the inside [17:43] it doesn't matter what color =P [17:43] it either works on one of the ports out of all the ports or it doesn't [17:43] black? [17:43] I am trying on the other laptop [17:43] also on mate [17:43] matsaman: black is not a good indication of being a usb3 port [17:43] it's literally irrelevant [17:43] if you want to look for something, look for 'SS' [17:43] Safiyyah: what model laptop were you trying originally? [17:43] but it's still irrelevant [17:44] because we have no idea if he's tried the other ports yet [17:44] 'cause we're talking about colors [17:44] =P [17:44] matsaman: it's not irrelevant, if none of the ports are usb3 and the drive is, it's probably not getting enough power to spin up [17:44] hence trying other ports [17:45]
