alkisgdavido_, are you able to visit this site with a browser? https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release01:21
davido_Yes. This is a continuation of a discussion on Friday.01:22
alkisgAnd also with wget?01:22
davido_curl yes, haven't tried wget. I will now.01:22
alkisgNah its ok. Wait for tj to wake up, I was just checking some quick things01:23
davido_Wget fails. cannot verify changelogs.ubuntu.com's certificate01:23
alkisgAh01:24
davido_If I set --no-check-certificate I imagine it would be fine.01:24
alkisgThen it sounds like an error in your certificates or date01:24
davido_my date seems accurate: 8/21/2021 7:25pm MDT01:25
alkisgSystem certificates then01:25

davido_alkisg : This article had the correct solution: https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-failed-to-connect-to-https-changelogs-ubuntu-com-meta-release-development-check-your-internet-connection-or-proxy-settings/01:57
davido_or at least a workable solution. :)01:58
alkisgEeeh so wget wasn't working yet you edited MetaRelease.py? That doesn't sound right :D01:59
alkisgAnyway, I don't know the context so I can't comment more01:59
davido_reinstalling certificate-ca didn't improve the situation. If I have trouble after the upgrade I'll just do a fresh install. I don't keep data I care about on the primary partitions anyway.02:00
alkisgBtw that site seems to be a ripoff of  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1072819/failed-to-connect-to-https-changelogs-ubuntu-com-meta-release-development-che02:01
davido_:) Thanks Google for getting me to the rip-off first.02:01
davido_Anyway, thanks for your time.02:01
TJ-davido_ did well to figure that one out! I did think it was a proxy issue of some kind but it looks like it is an older python x509 certificate problem; very obscure too!03:04
biscuitbutter[m]are there ubuntu wifi drivers? if it doesn't simply work after installation, then is ethernet the only option?03:29

KakuradyHi all. I want to report a bug with debconf when system language is set to Chinese during upgrade from 20.10 to 21.04.  I ran ubuntu-bug, which asked me what kind of problem to report, and there are two options - "dist-upgrade" and "release-upgrade" and I'm not sure which one to pick.12:26
Kakurady(yes, now that I typed this I realize 20.10 is no longer supported, so I plan to repeat this once upgraded.)12:27
ioriaKakurady, i think is release-upgrade, but can you tell us what happens when lang is set to chinese ? i mean, what's the real problem ?12:31
Kakuradyioria, like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/1752394 but the message is "ide character in print at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Log.pm line 39."12:33

ioriaKakurady, so did  the release-upgrade process stop ? or is progressing ?12:38
KakuradyIt progresses without any dpkg dialogues12:41
ioriameaning ?12:41
ioriano text flood on the screen ?12:41
KakuradyTerminal is progressing all right (and the log can be found in /var/log/dist-upgrade) but dpkg doesn't ask if you want to keep any modified config files12:47
ioriaah12:48
KakuradyOr, at least, that's what I think would happen.12:48
KakuradyI haven't committed to the upgrade yet.12:48
KakuradyBut I had the same error messages for previous upgrades,12:49
KakuradyAnd I remember being curious why I'm not seeing any debconf dialogs.12:49

vaiUbuntu fails to install initramfs disk image (build it) - after installing most recent updates on aptitude [apt-get] ??12:49
vaiUbuntu 20 here12:50
vaiso whole GUI is fed up12:50
vaiI cant launch e.g. Firefox anyomre12:50
vaithey put gnome critical files on a ramfilesystem I think ?12:50
vaithis box wont boot anymore I think, unless I reinstall grub with initramfs created successfully .. just dont know any Tricks to do this !12:51
TJ-vai: have you checked there is sufficient free space to create the new initrd?12:51
TJ-vai: firstly, boot it to an older kernel selected from GRUB's Advanced sub-menu12:52
vaiTJ-: 90 gigs free on /12:52
vaiTJ-: theres no boot menu.. can I activet it somehow ? to revent to old boot12:52
vaimost common is shift, ctrl or F9 I know!12:53
TJ-vai: there is always a GRUB boot menu, but by default it is hidden. You need to repeated tap Esc key at start-up to show it as soon as the PC hands over12:53
vaibut it just changes on every release they make (used Ubuntu 7 sth like and made multiboots on this :D thats all I know)12:53
vaiTJ-: but grub fails to install12:54
vaimaybe I can still use the old grub ?12:54
vaiworst case is I have to reinstall whole Ubuntu machine12:54
TJ-vai: no, it doesn't change. Esc key is what GRUB uses, this is driven by UEFI which cannot detect that toggle keys (shift, ctrl, alt) are pressed. Previously for BIOS it was the shift key being held down12:55
vaiTJ-: ironically : grub fails to install after i upgraded it12:55
vaivery irony indeed12:55
vaibut thats probably because of initramfs dependency fails to be found on the drive (image file)12:56
TJ-vai: what kind of upgrade are you referring to? "apt upgrade" package upgrade?12:56
vaiTJ-: aptitude upgrade12:56
TJ-vai: OK, so that won't affect GRUB in any major way, aside from possibly the update-grub stage doesn't add new options if a new kernel version was installed, which is what it sounds like if update-intramfs was called12:57
TJ-vai: are you using this broken system right now to get on IRC?12:57

Helmholtzor Focal (20.04)14:40

bailsmanHelmholtz: just out of curiosity - what is cloudflare's client software?14:41
Helmholtzbailsman, you mean that link?14:42
HelmholtzKind of a free vpn14:42
HelmholtzWarp+ 1.1.1.114:42
bailsmanHelmholtz: I see. How does it differ from the official wireguard client?14:43
Helmholtzbailsman, I don't think it's exactly wireguard?14:43
bailsmanWhat's the difference?14:43
Macerubottu: i found it. just connected to my phone with bt and installed the proprietary module14:44
Maceri guess this model needs the proprietary driver14:44
Helmholtzbailsman, honestly I don't know...If you know more, happy to hear :D14:44
leftyfbHelmholtz: https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/packages/cloudflare-warp14:45
leftyfboh, you want 18.04. You'll have to contact Cloudflare for support14:46
bailsmanleftyfb: right, it seems to be missing a release for bionic (18.04) even though it has both 20.04 and 16.0414:46
bailsmanhttps://github.com/ViRb3/wgcf there's this (unofficial client), maybe that works14:46

jeffmrhaving some trouble getting my audio device recognized.  I think the firmware might not be loading. can anyone help with this?17:05

jeffmrhttp://alsa-project.org/db/?f=6b29f84a96beadff8454a4418ee99b3fa191464317:16
piyupleActually I do have a support question. My qustion is that when I tried to select multiple files and tried to open them using vlc on my ubuntu 20.04, It did not create a playlist on vlc of the selected videos but opened a vlc instance for each of the selected files. How can this behaviour be fixed?17:16
ikoniathat's expected behaviour17:20
ikoniayou need to create a playlist - not open multiple file17:21
piyupleikonia: Similar approach worked well by default in elementary os 517:22
ikoniapiyuple: ok - so look at the config in elementary17:22
jeffmrsays no soundcard found but the hardware is there and there is a firmware loading error when trying to start it for intel sof dsp17:22
ikoniaor look in the preferences of vlc - see if there is an option for multiple files17:22
piyupleikonia: sure thanks17:22
jeffmrmaybe I need to tell it to use snd_hda_intel?17:24
jeremy31jeffmr: what is the exact error for firmware load?  If it says -2, that means you don't have the firmware17:26
jeffmryep -2.  thats for sof-audio-pci17:26
jeffmrI've downloaded all the updates and firmware through the various gnome gui apps.17:27
jeffmrDo I need to get the firmware from somewhere else?17:27
alkisgjeffmr: google says to download and install this: https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/firmware-sof-signed17:29
alkisgIt's not available in 20.04, so you'd download the hirsute deb and install it directly17:30
jeffmrok, thanks!17:30
alkisgIt has no dependencies so it should work fine in 20.04; try it17:30
jeffmrok17:30
jeffmralkisg, is the hirsute deb the source file that has 'deb' in it?17:32
alkisgjeffmr: wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/firmware-sof/firmware-sof-signed_1.6.1-2_all.deb -O /tmp/f.deb && sudo apt install /tmp/f.deb17:34

Macerwell. seems like ubuntu 20.04 lts runs rather well on my old 2015 macbook air17:39
Macerother than the awkwardness of using the phone for a minute using bt to download the proprietary wifi module17:39
Maceris there something i could add to reduce the size of the titlebars?17:39
lotuspsychjeMacer: most tweaks you can pull off, you can try from dconf-editor (if the tweak exist)17:40
lotuspsychjeMacer: or play with other themes perhaps17:41
Maceryah i think i'll try that becuse the default theme with its giant titlebars17:41
Maceri wish they were smaller. it eats up too much space on lower res systems like this macbook air17:42
Macerthat's a cosmetic issue though. other than that it sure seems to be running quite well on the macbook air17:42
lotuspsychjeMacer: may i advice, sudo apt install preload haveged stacer dconf-editor tweak your gnome a bit lighter17:47

lotuspsychjejxl: no, i mean move your Os to ubports18:41
Macerlotuspsychje: i already checked there18:41
jxlhonestly, i'm a little confused now18:42
Macerthere is no option to enable things like that. just more basic things18:42
jxlhttps://github.com/gemian/gemian/wiki/UBPorts - that's ubports, not touch, right?18:42
Macerlike the using the right bottom as the right click but it does not work very well18:42
Macerfor instance... not sure what macos calls it but swiping up with 3 fingers does something similar to activities in ubuntu. maybe spaces is what it's called in macos18:43
lotuspsychjeuse their main website from the factoid jxl18:43
Macerubports is what used to be ubuntu touch. i have a pinephone and it is too bad that ubuntu touch sort of "died" in a sense18:44
Macerbecause it was probably the better of the mobile uis that i used18:44

devnull-hi there, in ubuntu 21.04 firewalld seems to be used for managing netfilter. is it possible to check the rules, setuped by firewalld with iptables -L command ?21:51
tichtomreyn: ran is with sudo ;-) http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=fc56dff5250798edfcf8ab029491ca8760f145ee21:53
tomreyntich: have a look at the downloads for your model and available bios upgrades (you currently have BIOS version P1.10) at https://www.asrockind.com/en-gb/download-center&category_id=35  while i have a look at your alsa-info output22:13
tomreyntich: so you said sound doesn't work with your headphones. how are those headphones connected? wired through the audio jack socket, bluetooth, or something else? does it work any other way (maybe there's another output which can be used - maybe you have a screen which supports audio output via hdmi)?22:21
tomreyntich: you should install package firmware-sof-signed (multiverse)22:33
linsuxi'm not able to call fcitx5 window to input chinese in firefox and chrome22:35
jeffmrI installed firmware-sof-signed deb package forced overwrite and got my sound working22:41
jeffmrI then installed all the pulse audio software from the software store22:41
jeffmrgot everything working except mic on laptop.22:42
tomreynlinsux: i will probably not be able to help, but you should provide more details - Ubuntu version, graphical desktop (if default Ubuntu desktop, just say so)22:42
jeffmrbluetooth audio and mic work though.22:42
jeffmrfirmware was 1.6.122:43
tichtomreyn: thanks! I'll give it a shot and let you know22:43
sjnheya folks; I'm having bluetooth disconnect/reconnect issues on 21.04 (using linux-firmware 1.197.3) with some intel hardware. Is there a way to try out more recent versions of the linux-firmware package to see if the reconnects stop?22:59

jeffmrlet me get the link23:02
linsux20.04 kubuntu23:03
linsuxlatest23:03
jeffmrsjn, having some trouble finding it.  just a sec23:05
jeffmrhttps://ubuntu.pkgs.org/21.04/ubuntu-multiverse-amd64/firmware-sof-signed_1.6.1-2_all.deb.html23:05
sjnjeffmr: ok, thanks. could you tell me how this is related to bluetooth disconnects? I'm reading lots about audio *mumble*, and am unsure how this is connected to my issues23:13
jeffmrsjn, not sure.  I didn't test bluetooth audio with my pixelbuds before I installed the firmware.23:15
jeffmrIt was meant for my audio card which is intel.23:15
sjnok. so it's a bit of a shot in the dark then23:15
jeffmra bit, but its newer : D23:16
jeffmrbut yes, a shot in the dark23:16
sjnhm. it conflicts with some files in linux-firmware 1.197.3, so there's that23:16
jeffmrI haven't had any disconnects with my bluetooth.  I'm on 21.23:17
jeffmrmate desktop23:17
sjnwell, I'm happy to try relevant firmware upgrades, but it seems to me firmware-sof-signed does too much on my system that isn't related to what I'm thinking is the issue here...23:20
jeffmrok.23:21
sjnand it's a bit worrying that the package is directly conflicting with files supplied by the linux-firmware package, without handing this gracefully23:21
sjnhandling*23:21
sjnjeffmr: ok, seems to be some issues with the package you're recommending: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firmware-sof/+bug/193086823:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1930868 in linux-firmware (Ubuntu) "Package firmware-sof-signed (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/intel/sof/sof-apl.ri', which is also in package linux-firmware 1.197" [High, Triaged]23:25
jeffmrI had to force it to overwrite the current firmware but it solved my problems with the exception of my mic23:26
