spinullwtf is net-tools not installed by default anymore02:18
spinullnobody wants to use the ip command02:18
tomreynspinull: "ip" is part of iproute2 - which i do think is installed by default in all configurations02:25

Bashing-omspinull: The modern replacement for net-tools is iproute2 <- https://www.tecmint.com/deprecated-linux-networking-commands-and-their-replacements/ .02:29
spinullwhy did they need replacing, everyone knows them and they work well02:33
sarnoldthey didn't work well, there were loads of networking features that couldn't be reached via those tools02:34
leftyfbspinull: why did they replace steam powered locomotives? Everyone knew them and they worked well02:34
sarnoldthat's why they were replaced twenty years ago with iproute2 tools02:34
spinulllike what/02:35
tomreynhttps://lwn.net/Articles/710533/02:36
spinullalso, if this is going to be what we have to use now, at least clean up the output, this is ugly af an not easily parsed02:36

blackthunderok, so here's my problem, i installed brave web browser on ubuntu ofc,the browser is opening, but it's icon is not loading. any solutions05:40
tomreynmadduck: maybe the routers' ethernet port is just bad? did you try a different one?05:41
madduckoh!05:42
madduckyou know, I've been ruling that out because it's the same for wifi and cable, but I remember now that the wifi access point is actually separate from the fritzbox05:43
tomreynblackthunder: since this browser isn't part of ubuntu, so i'm not sure we can help with unexpected behaviour it exposes. try thier support channel, or a web search.05:44
madduckexcept the other devices in the network don't seem to have any problem, so the LAN port may not be the issue. But maybe the cable is…05:45
tomreynmadduck: it's indeed surprising that the laptop would have 10% RX dropped on both ethernet and wireless chipsets. i'm wondering whether this could be explained by issues with context switching, mainbard / CPU problems05:47
madducktomreyn: I thought about this too, but IPv6 works just fine.05:49
tomreyndid you inspect dmesg / journalctl -b -p4  though?05:49
tomreynipv6 working fine does seem to rule this out, yes, but maybe not 100%05:50

manmohangillbut why is there an delay with the keyboard it isnt like this in Windows06:51
alkisgI.e. start over and state your problem and ask if someone knows of a solution, as that bash script is not a solution06:51
manmohangillmy cap lock has an delay06:51

manmohangillalkisg, the issue lies with xorg server07:41
manmohangillit is a known issue for 10 over years07:41
alkisgmanmohangill: in the URL that you linked, it says: Clearly, they changed something between 20.10 and 21.04 that's affecting this.07:42
alkisgSo it was working for him in 20.1007:42
alkisgDid you find a bug report in xorg for this issue? If not, it would make sense to file one07:43
alkisgAnd, if it was working in the past, it would make sense to see when it stopped working07:43
madducktomreyn: we plugged it in elsewhere and there is no issue. So it's either a defective cable or switch. What a ride. Thanks for thinking along.07:52
madduckDebugging network problems from Wellington, New Zealand, via a OpenVPN link over IPv6 from my mum's laptop in Munich Germany is just fun. I have no other machine I can connect to in that network. Fun times.07:54

alkisgBtw, you're using xorg, not wayland yet, right?09:00

manmohangillthe issue has been around since xorg era09:06
alkisgYes, but wayland doesn't use xorg09:06
manmohangillwhat has wayland got to do with this09:06
manmohangillokay so the issue isnt fixed in wayland either09:06
alkisgIt needs a different bug report and a different workaround09:06
manmohangillno one will fixed it09:06
alkisgRight, if what you're reporting is accurate, the bug also affects wayland in a different code base09:06
alkisgIn any case, that's what you need to do. People stopped working on xorg, but they still work on wayland09:07
alkisgSo there's a good chance it'll be fixed there09:07
alkisgOr, they may at least give you a workaround09:07

oldgalileotomreyn: Huh. What effect does declaring the architecture actually have on apt?09:33

manmohangilllotuspsychje, it was a xorgserver issue09:34
manmohangillif you guys aint using xorgserver so what else is causing this issue09:35
tomreynoldgalileo: it can make sense on multi-architecture systems, such as amd64+i68609:35
tomreynoldgalileo: there may also be scenarios where it makes sense to use this to be able to (just) download packages for other architectures.09:36
manmohangillthis is exact issue09:37

tomreynshailangsa: for help with bash, /join #bash09:37
oldgalileotomreyn: Sure, I guess I'm confused why I didn't run into issues when I had a repository setup to only be amd64 even though I'm running on an ARM machine09:38
tomreynoldgalileo: oh that's because apt will take the dpkg architecture into account, i guess, and won't just blindly download and try to install packages for other architectures.09:39
manmohangill:(09:39
lotuspsychjemanmohangill: a 2010 bug... resolved, fixed?09:40

oldgalileotomreyn: Yeah, makes sense that it wouldn't blindly try. Surprised it didn't throw warnings though.09:44
tomreynoldgalileo: setting it in sources.list basically just means "hey apt, this is available for this architecture, and this other architecture, too, in case you'll ever need it".09:45
tomreynoldgalileo: oh you're saying you had "amd64" set on a system that is actually an "arm64" system? and you think ti was still used to find arm64 packages? this seems unlikely to me.09:46
tomreynmore likely this repository was just not taken into account then, because it does not match the host architecture.09:47

I tried all solution on askubuntu, help.ubuntu.com and blog posts, but all failed09:52
mohaThe drive mounts READ only09:52
mohaI even can not `chmode -R 777` on the partition!09:53
tomreynoldgalileo: hmm, not sure then. maybe i misunderstood the concept of indicating architectures in apt sources. you could read up on the bit of documentation about it that's in sources.list(5), or review the apt source code on how it handles this, or ask in a debian channel, too.09:53
mohachmod: changing permissions of '/data/ToDo/friday.xlsx': Read-only file system09:53
tomreynmoha: which filesystem is on sda2?09:55
mohait's ntfs. a 1-TB partition.09:56
tomreynNTFS support on Ubuntu isn't feature complete. If the current NTFS drivers detect that an NTFS file system is marked as 'dirty' (needs a file system check / repairing) it will mount it read-only.09:57
tomreynthere is ntfsfix, but it is not complete, and the developers recommend you use checkdsk on windows instead.09:58
tomreynwhat you can do is transfer the data to a different file system which is fully supported.09:58

tomreynthere are other options, but they will risk data loss. if loosing data is a risk that's easy for you to take, you can try your luck with ntfsfix, for example.10:03

alkisgAnd there's a chance that the user will keep an eye on updates via other means, and won't miss them (the same e.g. as if he had installed lcov manually without .deb)12:35
rbasakThere's virtually no chance that the new version will have a higher number.12:36
rbasakI'm just saying that "you might miss security updates" isn't sufficient to make your recommendation acceptable. On its own, it's bad advice.12:37
alkisgI still think it's always better than "no solution", or "install a local lcov without using a .deb"; that too, won't receive security updates12:38
rbasakFine, but it should always come with a warning that security updates *stop*.12:42
rbasakSaying "might" is excessively optimistic and dangerous.12:42
alkisgrbasak: It's a 18.04 universe package; it stopped receiving security updates anyway... but OK as you wish. I can't say "stop" as it's a lie, so I'll just not mention that option at all instead...12:45
rbasakalkisg: "it stopped receiving security updates anyway" -> that's not strictly true. Anyone can contribute a security update to any package in Ubuntu, including a package in universe.12:47
iorianot sure a bionic pkg will install on focal (an upper libc); maybe the contrary might work12:47
alkisgioria: He's looking for the opposite, focal pkg on bionic12:48
ioriai mean : not sure a focal  pkg will install on bionic (an upper libc); maybe the contrary might work12:48
ioria12:48
rbasak"it's a lie" -> it's really not. Of course _everything_ receives a "security update" *if you provide one yourself*. That's a given, and doesn't need to be explained. When we say "doesn't receive security updates" we unambigiously mean "won't receive security updates *from the distribution*.12:48
alkisgrbasak: your previous sentences contradict the last one. A couple of days ago you said "there are no guarantees in version numbers", i.e. it's possible that a security patch may bump the version number. In the previous sentence you said "anyone can contribute a security update". And in the last one "no security  updates will come"12:51
alkisgI have the utmost respect to the debian policy and the repo guidelines, but I can't tell lies. But sure, I'll just stop mentioning that alternative and leave the users to manually compile things instead of using .debs12:52
Guest22Can someone help me repairing Grub2 for an UEFI system? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6XrX7FcJkH/12:53
Guest22Boot-Repair caused the computer to boot into a grub2 (not rescue) prompt12:54
rbasakAnyone can contribute a security update to lcov in Bionic. But a correct security update to lcov in Bionic will not be received by a user who has hacked in Focal's version. Yes, it's possible that lcov will receive a major version bump because a security update requires it, and then the update will arrive to such a hacked system, but that's vanishingly unlikely.12:54
rbasakIf you want to explain that in full, then feel free.12:55
alkisgIn my understanding of human languages, that's a "might", not a "won't".12:55
rbasakNo, that's based on your understanding of logic, not human language.12:55
alkisgIf there was a wiki page about it, or a factoid, I'd happily link to it, but I don't want to spend the time to write one12:55
rbasakI'm not about to find myself wherever you are to argue this with you in person. However, according to our current understanding of physics there is a miniscule but finite and non-zero probability that it will happen. But in human language, it's an absolute that it won't happen.12:56

robCan anyone give any tips for diagnosing recurrent freezes? /var/crash is empty. Typically these freezes seem to be associated with pasting something into terminal.15:45
iLinux-OS-UserWhat are you pasting?15:46
robAny old thing will do it. Short strings of text etc.15:46
iLinux-OS-UserWe can't give you a solution if we don't have the code!15:47

robThere isn't any code. It's just arbitrary text.15:48
iLinux-OS-UserExcept this, all else works fine?15:48
TJ-rob: one possibilty is one of those terminals that intercepts pastes and is supposed to display a dialog box and ask for your OK to actually paste. Maybe that is configured but the dialog isn't appearing, or is hidden, or similar?15:49

robInteresting thought. Not sure what would have brought that on all of a sudden though. No obvious config change.15:51
robiLinux-OS-User: would you mind repeating your suggestion? I lost those lines with the last freeze.15:52
tomreynrob: i don't think they made a suggestion. i made this: <tomreyn> rob: run    journalctl -f   in a terminal, then reproduce it, and see what is logged (if anything)15:53

chibill[m]Hi, I am having some issues with PulseAudio on my system, it seems as if PulseAudio is totally broken in some form.18:59
Guest4750what for a version you use?19:01
chibill[m]The output from uname -a says the following, Linux hambook 5.11.0-25-generic #27~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 13 17:41:23 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux19:02
chibill[m]Thats how I normally get the version btw19:02
Guest4750https://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/19:06
chibill[m]Not the issue, literally PulseAudio is not running because it errors on start.19:09
sarnoldah nice what's the error?19:09
ice9in xorg, gnome settings show 120 hz for the display but in wayland it's just 60 hz, any idea?19:10
TJ-chibill[m]: check the log " journalctl --user -u pulseaudio "19:10
TJ-ice9: Wayland compositor is twice as slow?19:11

TJ-ice9: I was attempting to crack a joke :)19:12
ice9ah :D19:12
TJ-ice9: I've not touched Wayland compositors so not sure what the equivalent tool to 'xrandr' would be to check on what the displays report over EDID19:13
chibill[m]https://pastebin.com/xBvRgCTr is one of the log entries. Not much in journalctl for pulseaudio. Also using pastebin because I don't have a Ubuntu One account and not sure why its needed not to use the recommend way of sharing logs.19:18
i-garrisonchibill[m]: it does not look like it fails; first it is started then after 8min it exited with your desktop session, which looks normal19:24
chibill[m]Yet it can't be accessed by applications / can't see my audio devices. While ALSA can and pusleaudio was also before a reboot about a month ago.19:26
sarnoldchibill[m]: the standard journalctl output to a terminal truncates the output :( note the "Possible causes inc>"19:26
sarnoldchibill[m]: it's entirely possible that the actual cause is just cut off -- try journalctl -u pulseaudio.service | cat    or | nc termbin.com 9999 or similar19:27
i-garrisonchibill[m]: sarnold: that error message is from bluetooth part which is probably not an issue19:28

i-garrisonchibill[m]: please check if you can access pulseaudio daemon with 'pactl info' and pastebin the output19:29
chibill[m]I had a better error last time I tried to get help but thats gone. (Expired in paste.ubuntu.com also was before the login change) I stopped looking to a sollution after talking here over an hour and finding out that using ALSA with out pulseaudio involved still worked. Just had to find the correct device name.19:29

chibill[m]https://pastebin.com/f3ThWHU819:36
i-garrisonchibill[m]: there is an instance running since Aug 14th, is that expected? if not, try killing it with 'pulseaudio -k' or 'kill -9 831'19:38
chibill[m]That was the last reboot so I would assume it should still be running. Unless it isn't supposed to be running the sound server all the time.19:39
TJ-chibill[m]: looks to me like you've got a RDP service grabbed it19:40
i-garrisoneven if "grabbed" pulseaudio server should still be responding to pactl info19:41
chibill[m]I use Chrome Remote Desktop to get into my netbook remotely. (I use it for my hamradio shack.)  Just to be noted it was already and used before PulseAudio decided to just kick the bucket.19:41
TJ-i-garrison: not if it's blocking in kernel. chibill[m]  show us "ps -efly | grep pulse | nc termbin.com 9999 "19:42
chibill[m]btw just killed that copy of pulseaudio that was running. Starting to wonder if maybe chrome remote starts its own which keeps the systems one from starting.19:43
chibill[m]https://termbin.com/dwqe19:43
chibill[m]Seems it restarted it self after I killed it.19:43
i-garrisonchibill[m]: yes it is getting restarted automatically; do you have 'pactl info' running successfully now?19:44
chibill[m]nope, still no connection. I think its because that instance is told not to be a daemon in its command.19:44
i-garrisonchibill[m]: no, that's ok - that is how systemd is managing it19:45
chibill[m]Thats weird and backwards compared to most shared server type things.19:46
i-garrisonchibill[m]: it's per your user session so not really shared19:46
i-garrisonchibill[m]: please pastebin all output of this command 'PULSE_LOG=4 pactl info'19:46
