[10:22] Makaneck Yes, Cookiautodelete, Facebook container, Firefox Multi-Accounts Containers, Noscript, Privacy Badger, Rotate and Zoom Image, The Archiver and disabled Dacebook Video downloader. And MEga.nz addon . [10:22] And there is no swap set up on the system currently. [10:35] if you start it on the commandline, do you see something useful in stdout when it closes?

Since I have also GNOME and KDE Plasma DEs, I want them to execute only when I login into i3 and not mess up with the other DEs. [10:54] nikolam: probably one or more add ons that causes issues [10:55] disable them and see if FF keeps running [10:55] then enable them one by one to see which one gives problems [10:56] I don't have any issues with FF on my Ubuntu install and only use Ublock origin as add on [11:10] what command or app can I use to recursively convert m4a files to flac? [11:14] gneeriiloeepdeer: ffmpeg, maybe combined with find [11:14] find . -type f -name '*.m4a' -exec convert '{}' '{}'.flac \; [11:15] shimbles, so, simply cd to the parent directory and execute that? [11:15] i didn't test it; make sure convert works [11:16] i'm not convinced that imagemagick's "convert" can convert mpeg4 audio files [11:17] lol [11:17] well, use ffmpeg [11:17] submit a patch to convert while your at it; with a name that generic, it better play csv files as movies [11:19] maybe i was wrong - https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php - IM can handle mpeg files with the help of ffmpeg [11:22] ahhh, my good ol' long term memory [11:24] for file in *.m4a ; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -f flac "$( basename "$file" .m4a ).flac" ; done [11:24] this works [11:25] not recursively though [11:25] gneeriiloeepdeer: here's another try, also untested. remove the "echo" once you think this looks right: find /path/to/highest/directory -type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \; [11:25] no tomreyn [11:26] regarding my question about i3 and ubuntu, I learned that i3 config files let you execute commands with the exec directive [11:27] is m4a better than flac? converted bitrate is 10 kbps less than the original m4a [11:27] flac is lossless [11:28] gneeriiloeepdeer: you might need to indicate target bitrate. generally, m4a is a lossful file format, flac is lossless [11:28] m4a is mpeg4 audio, which can be anything [11:28] usually AAC I think [11:28] hi [11:29] cbreak is right about m4a, i was wrong [11:29] tomreyn, what's the point of indicating target bitrate? If the original file is lossy, converted file will also be lossy, compared to the original... [11:29] if you want audio quality, you can't get better than flac, because it will be without data loss [11:29] so Im making a lossless copy of a lossy file [11:29] sup [11:29] gneeriiloeepdeer: flac will be lossless with respect to its source [11:30] even if I don't notice it... [11:30] so you obviously pay for that losslessnes in increased storage cost [11:30] dude: hi, do you have an ubuntu support question? [11:30] if your source is already compressed, why bother compressing it further? [11:31] cbreak, I dont follow. If I convert to flac I am not compressing it further, am I? [11:31] you're not gaining anything other than size [11:31] good enough [11:31] you're compressing it losslessly, which means you will increase file size with zero gain [11:31] why bother? [11:32] no, the output file is smaller [11:32] 0.4 MiB [11:32] check the source file codec [11:32] you claim you have a lossy file... is that true? [11:33] mp4/m4a/aac [11:33] well, if mp4/m4a/aac are lossy files, then yes [11:33] check with ffprobe for example [11:33] mp4 is just a file name [11:33] it refers to a container format [11:34] aac is lossy. You won't be able to beat its compression with flac, unless who ever parametrized aac was clueless about its purpose [11:36] cbreak, I have the output, what line exactly do I have to check? major brand? m4a [11:36] the stream description [11:38] Stream #0:0(und): Audio: alac (alac / 0x63616C61), 44100 Hz, stereo, s16p, 829 kb/s (default) [11:38] ^^? [11:38] yes. [11:38] so this m4a contains an ALAC stream [11:38] which is also lossless [11:38] output file: Stream #0:0: Audio: flac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16 [11:39] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless [11:39] oh [11:39] so Im simply compressing a lossless file and saving some space in the process, right? [11:39] yeah. [11:39] nice [11:40] you're also format shifting, which means different decoders can decode it. [11:40] and others can't. [11:40] for example, apple iPods can't read flac [11:40] not a trouble [11:40] are there even still ipods? [11:40] hmm... [11:40] im sure apple will make sure nobody can read flac files with their apps... [11:40] nah [11:41] I used to have a flac plugin for quicktime, so every quicktime aware application was able to read flac [11:41] so long since I used quicktime... [11:42] thanks cbreak you have been very helpfu [11:42] np :) [11:45] tomreyn, sadly, your suggested recursive command doesn't seem to work... I cd'ed to the directory and executed 'find /path/to/highest/directory -type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \;'. Nothing happens [11:45] I mean without find! [11:46] I am doing it rong, aren't I? '-type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \;' is an incomplete command [11:47] gneeriiloeepdeer: but you're supposed to do it with "find", just to edit "/path/to/highest/directory" so that it points to the highest directory that should be recured into subdirectories from. you can just replace it by a dot if you cd into that directory beforehand (but it's safer with the absolute path). [11:47] ill try again [11:51] gneeriiloeepdeer: i had a quotation mark missing, though. here's the fixed command: find /path/to/highest/directory -type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac" \; [11:57] tomreyn, if the output with echo is this: ffmpeg -i Music/Compilations/1995 - Emotions/20 Satisfaction.m4a -f flac Music/Compilations/1995 - Emotions/20 Satisfaction.m4a.flac, does it mean I have then to recursively get rid of the m4a marker? [11:58] use the rename command [11:58] or just leave it there [11:58] I'm looking for a command line "tea timer", that I can set from the CLI, let it detach (or daemonise), and then pop an alert in Gnome when time comes. Does such a thing exist? [11:59] thank you tomreyn you have also been extremely helpful [12:01] sleep 600 && zenity --info --text "Tea Time" [12:02] Thanks shimbles I'll look into it. [12:03] daemonized [12:03] (sleep 10 && zenity --info --text "Tea Time" &) [12:06] BTW: That construction using ( ... &) is that as BASHism? [12:07] yes it is backgrounding it in a sub-shell [12:07] Coolio. I better define that in the script. === Starmina_ is now known as Starmina [12:19] tomreyn: that won't work. That will just run basename on the literal string {} which is just {}, then find will replace that with the full file name [12:21] I installed Ubuntu server on an Optiplex 3020 and had no ethernet so I installed r8168 driver and blacklisted the r8169 now I can see ifconfig showing the interface up but no carrier.

[12:22] find /dir/ -type f -iname "*.m4a" -exec sh -c 'base=${1##*/}; ffmpeg -i "$1" -f flac "./${base%.*}.flac"' _ {} \; assuming the goal is for the flac files to end up in the current dir rather than the same dir as the m4a files === Starmina_ is now known as Starmina [12:44] angrycoast: check the "ethtool" report that'll give you more clues [12:47] TJ- I'm using ethtools identify option but it Cannot identify NIC [12:48] angrycoast: doesn't that just get it to flash its LEDs? [12:48] I've also tried to set the speed and toggle autonegotiation off and on to no avail TJ- [12:48] angrycoast: I'd be more interested in what ethtool says about the advertised and actual link rates, if any [12:49] angrycoast: that suggests the driver isn't working as expected then.

( the graphical console .... ) [14:07] lotuspsychje, hello :) [14:12] paul424: have you tried booting a livecd to see if it works [14:12] ThinkT510, no hmm I don't have the machine at hand it's in the office [14:13] when you next get access you can boot a livecd and then see what driver it is using [14:13] yes... does the installation iso contain the live system as well ? [14:13] the desktop iso does [14:14] ohh that;s nice ... I will try it then [14:14] the worst case is I delete the windows 7 system and leave them with non-working Linux system [14:15] but a 10 years old nvidia card should be well supported by the nouveau driver [14:15] but there is a checkbox : install the third party software [14:15] for graphics and wifi ...

I'll set up some VPC, set up automatic backups, then backups on another cloud provider, then one day my VPC will be down and I'll realize all my backups have been corrupted for 6 months. [14:24] well. all you really need to backup is the docker data directory [14:24] you should check that from time to time [14:24] everything else can be restored really fast [14:25] also i do a manual export of the vault sometimes [14:25] but maybe thats a topic for #ubuntu-offtopic [14:32] is there anything that would cause files to dissappear, settings rolled back, etc., from my ~ when i reboot? [14:32] i wrote a script yesterday that i was using on another computer via ssh and then i rebooted and it's gone. [14:32] other things aren't where they're supposed to be either. [14:37] corrupted or read-only filesystem [14:37] not read only [14:38] UUID=24f9c26f-f54e-480d-b30c-6691200084fb /home ext4 noatime,defaults 0 2 [14:38] if it was corrupted, would i be able to boot back into it? [14:39] ext4 has some self-healing if the corruption did not affect the actual data [14:39] is there some way to check? [14:39] but in general what you describe should not happend on a notmal ubuntu system [14:40] yeah, it's weird. [14:43] out of curiousity, doing things to /var/log/syslog or /var/log/journal files would not affect the ext4 "journaling," right? [14:44] those files grew out of control last night [14:52] Your /home is a separate partition, nothing that happened on / should have affected it [14:59] here's another example: my ~/.bash_aliases file is missing at least some of the changes I made yesterday === Starmina_ is now known as Starmina [15:06] hello [15:06] i'am new here [15:17] !ask [15:17] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[15:31] i was working on my desktop server all day yesterday. last night, i was accessing it from a laptop via ssh (i.e., and the script was still there on the desktop server). [15:31] so yeah, i'm sure...and that's not what i meant to say earlier. [15:32] basically i'm trying to clean up my torrents and i made a script to look for files (findt looks in music, books, torrents, and /var/lib/deluged, deletes some stuff too if i pass --delete) [15:33] and i was using 'findt' all day yesterday on the server from whence it dissappeared when i rebooted. same goes for the aliaises/aliai I created yesterday.

[16:02] download a Xubuntu ISO if you want to install with that right away [16:02] IIRC you can install xubuntu-desktop later on but that's messier [16:02] unrelated, but why does the Xorg session always hang when I log out? like I can move the cursor or switch to a tty but clicking doesn't do much... also the top left corner of Chrome's window suddenly shows up in giant size on my screen [16:03] should mention I'm using 125% display scaling, idk if that's related [16:03] no such issue with Wayland [16:10] Try closing chrome first, and logging out afterwards [17:04] Hello, I do try the ubuntu live cd ... Is it possible to modify it so it uses the propertiary nvidia driver ? [17:04] I just want to test .... [17:06] paul424: ubuntu loads the needed driver modules for your hardware in normal case [17:08] Is live CD Ubuntu version modifiable .... Can I install the new driver modules ... [17:08] iirc the ubuntu live iso's should ship with the nvidia drivers and select them by default when a nvidia graphics card is detected.

[18:29] server channel is dead [18:30] Marz: then install the server edition and perform a minimal install [18:30] Marz: or.... grab the 20.04 LTS Minimal iso [18:30] I don't see a minimal install option [18:30] I tried that too. Doesn't seem to support uefi. [18:31] i doubt that [18:31] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso [18:34] Marz: "Canonical and the Ubuntu project never officially supported the mini.iso ; it was produced as a by-product of building the debian-installer. As the Ubuntu Server image now uses subiquity, the build process that built mini.iso is no longer used, thus why this installation media is now old." [18:38] I need to write a server that wil listen on port 80 so clearly it will need to start as root. I have tried reducing the UID etc and seems that I can not do that in the simple way that I am attemptine. I see that things like apache do this. What do I need to do? [18:41] Hello can anyone help me with a grub menu problem? [18:42] !ask | jona [18:42] jona: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [18:45] I cant get rid of the boot menu. I tried the grub customizer and also changed the gub file myself. Nothing changes. Any help? [18:47] jona: Though one can set to where the menu does not display - such is not recommended - as will be a pain in the event of need to restore. [18:48] jona: I have my grub menu display for 2 seconds - will that work for you ? [18:49] I would love to set it to not showing (hidden) as I do not need it because I only have ubuntu installed [18:53] jona: Think this through - in the event of issues then one can not access the grub menu - can not then easily access "recovery" or boot a different kernel - this is not said to be difficult, but as a reminder of why such is discouraged. [18:55] but isnt it usually like this? Isnt the boot menu only showing on dual boot? or if you hit esc? [18:58] no grub is always showing jona [18:58] and is a good thing when a kernel upgrade gives you troubles [18:59] you can then just start a previous kernel which did work well with your hardware [18:59] but I need to hit enter to boot ubuntu every time. I just want to hit the power button and then boot directly into ubuntu [18:59] jona: Humm that is a consideration - I have multi-booted for years and just do not recall the default behaviour in single boot :( .. Lemme go read the docs :D [19:02] jona, you can change the time out for grub so ubuntu auto choose latest kernel a little faster? No enter needed then... [19:03] coconut, Ive tried that already through the grub customizer and in the grub file. It just wont change. It's driving me nuts === beaver_ is now known as beaver [19:05] jona, are there any interesting messages when you run update-grub? [19:07] that's the update grub message: Quelldatei `/etc/default/grub' [19:07] Quelldatei `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg' [19:07] GRUB-Konfigurationsdatei wird erstellt … [19:07] Linux-Abbild gefunden: /boot/vmlinuz-5.11.0-27-generic [19:07] initrd-Abbild gefunden: /boot/initrd.img-5.11.0-27-generic [19:07] Linux-Abbild gefunden: /boot/vmlinuz-5.11.0-25-generic [19:09] jona: You have been voiced once more from the flooding of the channel.

[19:13] alkisg ,give me a minute [19:13] Anyone else having really slow internet with 20.04? [19:17] could it be somebody is jamming your signal shinobi ? [19:18] gneeriiloeepdeer: No, I'm pulling 4MB down on ubuntu and 100 MB down on my phone. I had to reboot yesterday because of the same thing. Something is jacked up here. [19:19] How can I tell what wifi driver I am using? [19:20] shinobi: ' sudo lshw -C network ' . [19:24] Anyone using the intel wifi 6 ax200 driver? [19:24] I don't see an option to install the proprietary driver. === shinobi is now known as FAKShinobi [19:28] alkisg, this is my grub file output https://paste.in/nFMpPj === FAKShinobi is now known as FKAShinobi [19:30] jona: Recheck your link as nFMpPj does not load for me.

[19:31] jona, use that one ^, or: cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 [19:38] Does ubuntu have a cloud drive service? [19:38] For syncing user files? [19:38] https://paste.ac/grubfile [19:39] thats my grub file [19:40] and the grub menu is still showing even though GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden [19:43] is there any command or app to make an image bigger not losing quality? I want to quadruple a 300x300 xp image but I want it the output to be identifiable [19:43] purely, this would mean increasing quality [19:43] I used once a windows app to do this, but I don't remember the name [19:44] resolution is the word [19:44] I want to increase an image's resolution [19:54] merpnderp: ubuntu did But because there are so many other free services it was discontinued [19:54] gneeriiloeepdeer: Try imagemagick. I used that back in the day, but not sure if it will do exactly what you want [19:55] merpnderp: ubuntu has many tools built in to sync to many services [19:56] toddc: thanks. [19:56] gneeriiloeepdeer: You can increase the resolution of the image, but technically speaking you don't have all the information to fill the missing pixels. There are algorithms that can approximate it and backfill.
