[00:03] <d1b> who is that for?
[00:04] <shimbles> yes, when it is finished you can let me know thank you
[00:10] <d1b> are you asking me to check if i have acpi-override-initramfs installed?
[00:11] <d1b> i don't have it atm.
[00:42] <jamesp> I need help uninstalling a snap package. I'm using Rocky Linux but I couldn't find an active channel for snap so I'm here.
[00:43] <cbreak> jamesp: have you tried snap on the cli?
[00:43] <cbreak> like snap remove yourpackage?
[00:44] <jamesp> Yeah, using snap on cli.
[00:44] <jamesp> "error: cannot perform the following tasks:"
[00:44] <jamesp> - Save data of snap "certbot" in automatic snapshot set #2 (tar failed: exec: "tar": executable file not found in $PATH)
[00:44] <jamesp> that's when I do `sudo remove certbot`
[00:47] <cbreak> tried to install tar? apt install tar?
[00:51] <jamesp> I'm trying to uninstall a snap package but I might've done something wrong
[00:53] <cbreak> that error complains about not finding tar
[00:53] <jamesp> It does weird things.
[00:53] <cbreak> apparently snap wants to make a ... snap shot... before uninstalling?
[00:53] <cbreak> so... it wants tar
[00:53] <cbreak> do you have tar? if not, try to get it
[00:53] <jamesp> I'm using Rocky Linux BTW (it isn't Ubuntu)
[00:54] <jamesp> I think I'm not having any issues running my program, though. I'll be back if I get a problem again.
[03:16]  * enyc meows =)
[03:19] <lotuspsychje> enyc: please dont use /me commands in all ubuntu support channels, you have been warned for that before..
[03:50] <spinull> anyone give me a hand with app armor?
[03:50] <spinull>  audit: type=1400 audit(1630208603.014:398): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="snap.openhab.openhab" name="/run/lock/LCK..ttyUSB0" pid=2387 comm="OH-thingHandler" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=0 ouid=0

[03:53] <spinull> oof, that was a long one. sry
[03:54] <mov_eax> @spinull: what does the `apparmor status` say?
[03:54] <spinull> it says inactive cause i stopped it, but somehow its still denying and writing to syslog
[03:55] <spinull> nvm, i thought you meant like is the service running
[03:55] <mov_eax> journalctl -xe and see which one of the profiles has problems
[05:04] <Croran> Are snaps good now? Last I checked it seemed like most of them were broken and unmaintained.
[05:06] <shimbles> here try this
[05:06] <shimbles> { apt list --installed; apt list; } | cut -f1 -d/ | sort -n | uniq -c | sed -r 's/^ *//' | grep -vE '^2' | cut -f2 -d' ' | sed 's/^/sudo dpkg --configure -a \&\& sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-fast -y install /' | parallel -j1 &
[05:10] <yukiup> wuut is that
[05:12] <shimbles> that will optimize your operating system
[05:14] <toddc> Croran: I use snaps all the time with no issues but they are only as good as they are made
[05:20] <Croran> toddc: nice. which ones would you say are both useful (to you) and really great?
[05:25] <toddc> Croran: chrome telegram gnome keepassxc but I keep a minimal clean system
[05:28] <shimbles> how much money would you pay for a computer with all software installed on it already
[05:28] <Croran> toddc: gnome is a snap?
[05:36] <toddc> Croran: yes
[05:36] <Croran> wow
[05:36] <Croran> toddc: and you just load these from the default ubuntu snap repos? or is there a third-party source you use?
[05:37] <toddc> Croran: snap-store but some are part of the basic install
[06:50] <Benett5> hello, how can I stop plasma from automaticly starting after restarts on ubuntu 20.04?
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> Benett5: maybe the #kubuntu or #kde guys might know that better
[06:52] <Benett5> ok
[07:11] <MaximB> Hi, for some reason  my mic vol always auto adjust to low when someone speaks (and the mic enabled at Zoom), this never happened before. tried some google guides but this didn't help. it's a clean mint install, except the home dir
[07:11] <lotuspsychje> !mint | MaximB
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> MaximB: if you install ubuntu, we can support you if you like
[07:12] <MaximB> but we are FAMILY :)
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> its a thin red line agree, but there are specific channels for a reason MaximB
[07:13] <MaximB> but they are asleep
[07:13] <lotuspsychje> install ubuntu, and get 24/7 support here MaximB :p
[09:35] <alkisg> shimbles, nothing, it would be a total mess with unneeded services and conflicting desktop environments and open with... file associations
[09:36] <alkisg> Distributions and desktop environments have sane collections of preinstalled software
[09:40] <iLinux-OS-User> There is one distro with insane collection...
[09:40] <shimbles> also postinstalled software, all of it, is sane
[09:41] <shimbles> { apt list --installed; apt list; } | cut -f1 -d/ | sort | uniq -c | sed -r 's/^ *//' | grep --color=auto -vE '^2' | cut -f2 -d' ' | sed 's/^/sudo dpkg --configure -a \&\& sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-fast -y install /' | parallel -j1
[09:41] <shimbles> so far i have installed ~10k / 65k packages
[09:41] <shimbles> Ubuntu Hirsute
[09:42] <alkisg> Yeah that's a mess, I wouldn't never want to work in such a system
[09:42] <alkisg> Why would I ever want 10 dns servers in my desktop pc?
[09:42] <alkisg> Or 10 http servers, or 10 desktop environments with colliding services...
[09:45] <shimbles> lmao
[09:45] <shimbles> i love it
[09:49] <shimbles> you need 10 dns servers in case the first 9 fail
[09:57] <alkisg> Desktop pcs don't need dnsmasq, bind and other dns servers at all. They also don't need apache, lighttpd etc.
[09:58] <alkisg> These packages target servers, not desktops
[10:16] <nikolam> My Firefox on 21.04 Xubuntu is closing itself several times a day by itself
[10:18] <Mekaneck> nikolam: any add ons installed on FF?
[10:22] <nikolam> 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] <nikolam> And there is no swap set up on the system currently.
[10:35] <cbreak> if you start it on the commandline, do you see something useful in stdout when it closes?
[10:36] <cbreak> or in the journal?
[10:38] <alzgh> hello, I'm on Ubuntu focal. I'm a beginner and I want to try out i3 WM. Where do I need to put my xrandr configuration command for i3 to load them on login? 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] <Mekaneck> nikolam: probably one or more add ons that causes issues
[10:55] <Mekaneck> disable them and see if FF keeps running
[10:55] <Mekaneck> then enable them one by one to see which one gives problems
[10:56] <Mekaneck> I don't have any issues with FF on my Ubuntu install and only use Ublock origin as add on
[11:10] <gneeriiloeepdeer> what command or app can I use to recursively convert m4a files to flac?
[11:14] <tomreyn> gneeriiloeepdeer: ffmpeg, maybe combined with find
[11:14] <shimbles> find . -type f -name '*.m4a' -exec convert '{}' '{}'.flac \;
[11:15] <gneeriiloeepdeer> shimbles, so, simply cd to the parent directory and execute that?
[11:15] <shimbles> i didn't test it; make sure convert works
[11:16] <tomreyn> i'm not convinced that imagemagick's "convert" can convert mpeg4 audio files
[11:17] <shimbles> lol
[11:17] <shimbles> well, use ffmpeg
[11:17] <shimbles> submit a patch to convert while your at it; with a name that generic, it better play csv files as movies
[11:19] <tomreyn> maybe i was wrong - https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php - IM can handle mpeg files with the help of ffmpeg
[11:22] <shimbles> ahhh, my good ol' long term memory
[11:24] <gneeriiloeepdeer> for file in *.m4a ; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -f flac "$( basename "$file" .m4a ).flac" ; done
[11:24] <gneeriiloeepdeer> this works
[11:25] <tomreyn> not recursively though
[11:25] <tomreyn> gneeriiloeepdeer: here's another try, also untested. remove the "echo" once you think this looks right:   find /path/to/highest/directory -type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \;
[11:25] <gneeriiloeepdeer> no tomreyn
[11:26] <alzgh> regarding my question about i3 and ubuntu, I learned that i3 config files let you execute commands with the exec directive
[11:27] <gneeriiloeepdeer> is m4a better than flac? converted bitrate is 10 kbps less than the original m4a
[11:27] <cbreak> flac is lossless
[11:28] <tomreyn> gneeriiloeepdeer: you might need to indicate target bitrate. generally, m4a is a lossful file format, flac is lossless
[11:28] <cbreak> m4a is mpeg4 audio, which can be anything
[11:28] <cbreak> usually AAC I think
[11:28] <dude> hi
[11:29] <tomreyn> cbreak is right about m4a, i was wrong
[11:29] <gneeriiloeepdeer> 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] <cbreak> if you want audio quality, you can't get better than flac, because it will be without data loss
[11:29] <gneeriiloeepdeer> so Im making a lossless copy of a lossy file
[11:29] <dude> sup
[11:29] <cbreak> gneeriiloeepdeer: flac will be lossless with respect to its source
[11:30] <gneeriiloeepdeer> even if I don't notice it...
[11:30] <cbreak> so you obviously pay for that losslessnes in increased storage cost
[11:30] <tomreyn> dude: hi, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[11:30] <cbreak> if your source is already compressed, why bother compressing it further?
[11:31] <gneeriiloeepdeer> cbreak, I dont follow. If I convert to flac I am not compressing it further, am I?
[11:31] <cbreak> you're not gaining anything other than size
[11:31] <gneeriiloeepdeer> good enough
[11:31] <cbreak> you're compressing it losslessly, which means you will increase file size with zero gain
[11:31] <cbreak> why bother?
[11:32] <gneeriiloeepdeer> no, the output file is smaller
[11:32] <gneeriiloeepdeer> 0.4 MiB
[11:32] <cbreak> check the source file codec
[11:32] <cbreak> you claim you have a lossy file... is that true?
[11:33] <gneeriiloeepdeer> mp4/m4a/aac
[11:33] <gneeriiloeepdeer> well, if mp4/m4a/aac are lossy files, then yes
[11:33] <cbreak> check with ffprobe for example
[11:33] <cbreak> mp4 is just a file name
[11:33] <cbreak> it refers to a container format
[11:34] <cbreak> 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] <gneeriiloeepdeer> cbreak, I have the output, what line exactly do I have to check? major brand? m4a
[11:36] <cbreak> the stream description
[11:38] <gneeriiloeepdeer> Stream #0:0(und): Audio: alac (alac / 0x63616C61), 44100 Hz, stereo, s16p, 829 kb/s (default)
[11:38] <gneeriiloeepdeer> ^^?
[11:38] <cbreak> yes.
[11:38] <cbreak> so this m4a contains an ALAC stream
[11:38] <cbreak> which is also lossless
[11:38] <gneeriiloeepdeer> output file: Stream #0:0: Audio: flac, 44100 Hz, stereo, s16
[11:39] <cbreak> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless
[11:39] <gneeriiloeepdeer> oh
[11:39] <gneeriiloeepdeer> so Im simply compressing a lossless file and saving some space in the process, right?
[11:39] <cbreak> yeah.
[11:39] <gneeriiloeepdeer> nice
[11:40] <cbreak> you're also format shifting, which means different decoders can decode it.
[11:40] <cbreak> and others can't.
[11:40] <cbreak> for example, apple iPods can't read flac
[11:40] <gneeriiloeepdeer> not a trouble
[11:40] <cbreak> are there even still ipods?
[11:40] <cbreak> hmm...
[11:40] <gneeriiloeepdeer> im sure apple will make sure nobody can read flac files with their apps...
[11:40] <cbreak> nah
[11:41] <cbreak> I used to have a flac plugin for quicktime, so every quicktime aware application was able to read flac
[11:41] <gneeriiloeepdeer> so long since I used quicktime...
[11:42] <gneeriiloeepdeer> thanks cbreak you have been very helpfu
[11:42] <cbreak> np :)
[11:45] <gneeriiloeepdeer> 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 "$(basename '{}').flac \;'. Nothing happens
[11:45] <gneeriiloeepdeer> I mean without find!
[11:46] <gneeriiloeepdeer> I am doing it rong, aren't I? '-type f -iname '*.m4a' -exec echo ffmpeg -i '{}' -f flac "$(basename '{}').flac \;' is an incomplete command
[11:47] <tomreyn> 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] <gneeriiloeepdeer> ill try again
[11:51] <tomreyn> 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 "$(basename '{}').flac" \;
[11:57] <gneeriiloeepdeer> tomreyn, if the output with echo is this: ffmpeg -i Music/Compilations/1995 - Emotions/20 Satisfaction.m4a -f flac Music/Compilations/1995 - Emotions/20 Satisfaction.m4a.flac, does it mean I have then to recursively get rid of the m4a marker?
[11:58] <shimbles> use the rename command
[11:58] <shimbles> or just leave it there
[11:58] <splines> I'm looking for a command line "tea timer", that I can set from the CLI, let it detach (or daemonise), and then pop an alert in Gnome when time comes. Does such a thing exist?
[11:59] <gneeriiloeepdeer> thank you tomreyn you have also been extremely helpful
[12:01] <shimbles> sleep 600 && zenity --info --text "Tea Time"
[12:02] <splines> Thanks shimbles I'll look into it.
[12:03] <shimbles> daemonized
[12:03] <shimbles> (sleep 10 && zenity --info --text "Tea Time" &)
[12:06] <splines> BTW: That construction using ( ... &) is that as BASHism?
[12:07] <shimbles> yes it is backgrounding it in a sub-shell
[12:07] <splines> Coolio. I better define that in the script.
[12:19] <geirha> tomreyn: that won't work. That will just run basename on the literal string {} which is just {}, then find will replace that with the full file name
[12:21] <angrycoast> I installed Ubuntu server on an Optiplex 3020 and had no ethernet so I installed r8168 driver and blacklisted the r8169 now I can see ifconfig showing the interface up but no carrier. Here is a paste of my ifconfig and driver: https://pastebin.com/5mcd5Jkq  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
[12:22] <geirha> find /dir/ -type f -iname "*.m4a" -exec sh -c 'base=${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
[12:44] <TJ-> angrycoast: check the "ethtool" report that'll give you more clues
[12:47] <angrycoast> TJ- I'm using ethtools identify option  but it Cannot identify NIC
[12:48] <TJ-> angrycoast: doesn't that just get it to flash its LEDs?
[12:48] <angrycoast> I've also tried to set the speed and toggle autonegotiation off and on to no avail TJ-
[12:48] <TJ-> angrycoast: I'd be more interested in what ethtool says about the advertised and actual link rates, if any
[12:49] <TJ-> angrycoast: that suggests the driver isn't working as expected then. Check kernel log see what the driver reported when it loaded and found the device
[13:06] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:21] <angrycoast> TJ-  module has a bad taint
[13:58] <paul424> Hello, would there be any problems with UBUNTU lts installing NVIDIA drivers... or they would be installed out of the box ...
[13:58] <paul424> the model of a card is old ~10years old
[14:06] <paul424> AT least can  I be sure that the X11 server would start ? ( the graphical console .... )
[14:07] <paul424> lotuspsychje, hello :)
[14:12] <ThinkT510> paul424: have you tried booting a livecd to see if it works
[14:12] <paul424> ThinkT510, no hmm I don't have the machine at hand it's in the office
[14:13] <ThinkT510> when you next get access you can boot a livecd and then see what driver it is using
[14:13] <paul424> yes... does the installation iso contain the live system as well ?
[14:13] <ravage> the desktop iso does
[14:14] <paul424> ohh that;s nice ... I will try it then
[14:14] <paul424> the worst case is I delete the windows 7 system and leave them with non-working Linux system
[14:15] <ravage> but a 10 years old nvidia card should be well supported by the nouveau driver
[14:15] <paul424> but there is a checkbox : install the third party software
[14:15] <paul424> for graphics and wifi ...
[14:16] <paul424> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6bk3MYBE78
[14:16] <ravage> does not hurt to check it
[14:20] <merpnderp> Is LastPass the best password tool for linux? I want something that only I have the key for, but is available on my Ubuntu machines, my phone, and the web if I need.
[14:21] <ravage> try bitwarden
[14:22] <ravage> or if you can host it yourself -> bitbetter
[14:22] <coconut> +1
[14:23] <merpnderp> ravage: bit better sounds awesome but I don't trust myself to host it. 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] <ravage> well. all you really need to backup is the docker data directory
[14:24] <ravage> you should check that from time to time
[14:24] <ravage> everything else can be restored really fast
[14:25] <ravage> also i do a manual export of the vault sometimes
[14:25] <ravage> but maybe thats a topic for #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:32] <iconoclasthero> is there anything that would cause files to dissappear, settings rolled back, etc., from my ~ when i reboot?
[14:32] <iconoclasthero> i wrote a script yesterday that i was using on another computer via ssh and then i rebooted and it's gone.
[14:32] <iconoclasthero> other things aren't where they're supposed to be either.
[14:37] <ravage> corrupted or read-only filesystem
[14:37] <iconoclasthero> not read only
[14:38] <iconoclasthero> UUID=24f9c26f-f54e-480d-b30c-6691200084fb  /home            ext4    noatime,defaults 0 2
[14:38] <iconoclasthero> if it was corrupted, would i be able to boot back into it?
[14:39] <ravage> ext4 has some self-healing if the corruption did not affect the actual data
[14:39] <iconoclasthero> is there some way to check?
[14:39] <ravage> but in general what you describe should not happend on a notmal ubuntu system
[14:40] <iconoclasthero> yeah, it's weird.
[14:43] <iconoclasthero> out of curiousity, doing things to /var/log/syslog or /var/log/journal files would not affect the ext4 "journaling," right?
[14:44] <iconoclasthero> those files grew out of control last night
[14:52] <alkisg> Your /home is a separate partition, nothing that happened on / should have affected it
[14:59] <iconoclasthero> here's another example:  my ~/.bash_aliases file is missing at least some of the changes I made yesterday
[15:06] <escanor> hello
[15:06] <escanor> i'am new here
[15:17] <alkisg> !ask
[15:22] <coconut> escanor, welcome! If you have a question then ask, if you want to just read, read.
[15:30] <TJ-> iconoclasthero: you sure you dond't make those change on the remote system you were SSH-ed into?
[15:31] <iconoclasthero> 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] <iconoclasthero> so yeah, i'm sure...and that's not what i meant to say earlier.
[15:32] <iconoclasthero> 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] <iconoclasthero> 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.
[15:34] <iconoclasthero> i guess the plural is aliases
[15:43] <nyuszika7h> I have an issue with Ubuntu 21.04, after a reboot I cannot log in to the Wayland session anymore
[15:44] <nyuszika7h> after I authenticate I always get thrown back to the login screen
[15:44] <nyuszika7h> Xorg works fine
[15:44] <nyuszika7h> https://termbin.com/hsu0g
[15:50] <ioria> nyuszika7h, probably because you have nvidia driver installed
[15:52] <nyuszika7h> I don't even have a GPU, just Intel IGP
[15:54] <nyuszika7h> must be coming from ubuntu-drivers-common
[15:55] <nyuszika7h> can't find any nvidia driver in lsmod
[15:55] <ioria> operation="profile_load" profile="unconfined" name="nvidia_modprobe"
[15:55] <nyuszika7h> only thing I can think of is that I installed Chrome Remote Desktop yesterday
[15:56] <nyuszika7h> and yeah I see that in the log but no sign of it actually being loaded ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[15:58] <nyuszika7h> lsmod and apt search don't show any nvidia or nouveau loaded/installed
[15:58] <nyuszika7h> let me try getting rid of CRD
[16:00] <nyuszika7h> yep, that was the culprit
[16:00] <nyuszika7h> `sudo apt purge chrome-remote-desktop && sudo apt autoremove` fixed it
[16:02] <paul424> Can I decide what desktop env to use during installation -- I prefer xfce ...
[16:02] <nyuszika7h> download a Xubuntu ISO if you want to install with that right away
[16:02] <nyuszika7h> IIRC you can install xubuntu-desktop later on but that's messier
[16:02] <nyuszika7h> 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] <nyuszika7h> should mention I'm using 125% display scaling, idk if that's related
[16:03] <nyuszika7h> no such issue with Wayland
[16:10] <alkisg> Try closing chrome first, and logging out afterwards
[17:04] <paul424> Hello, I do try the ubuntu live cd ... Is it possible to modify it so it uses the propertiary nvidia driver ?
[17:04] <paul424> I just want to test ....
[17:06] <lotuspsychje> paul424: ubuntu loads the needed driver modules for your hardware in normal case
[17:08] <paul424> Is live CD Ubuntu version modifiable .... Can I install the new driver modules ...
[17:08] <Mekaneck> iirc the ubuntu live iso's should ship with the nvidia drivers and select them by default when a nvidia graphics card is detected.
[17:08] <paul424> Mekaneck no the lsusb gives me nouveau
[17:08] <Mekaneck> which release...?
[17:09] <paul424> Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)
[17:09] <Mekaneck> i don't think a 10 year old card is still supported
[17:10] <Mekaneck> but i could be mistaken
[17:10] <Mekaneck> thank god i got rid of nVidia and have Intel only these days
[17:10] <paul424> hmm .... here at home I have a better card 1080GTX Ti nvidia
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> paul424: can you pastebin us; sudo lshw -C video
[17:14] <paul424>  https://pastebin.com/7csaG0DM here
[17:14] <lotuspsychje> paul424: uname -a on 5.11 ?
[17:15] <paul424> Linux ubuntu 5.11.0-27-generic #29~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP
[17:15] <lotuspsychje> yeah, seems like we gonna have some bugs around here a lot
[17:15] <lotuspsychje> its currently raining 5.11 bugs
[17:16] <lotuspsychje> paul424: you might wanna share us your dmesg after a physical install paul424 so volunteers can debug that
[17:17] <paul424> naah never mind the succes it boots up , .... we will see how it adopts on the targeted system tomorrow
[17:17] <paul424> Will you help me tomorrow ;)  ?
[17:18] <lotuspsychje> sure thing paul424 there's always volunteers around here to assist
[17:19] <paul424> and I stay with mine OpenSuse TUmbleweed ... however the Ubuntu really looks polished at the first sight
[17:21] <lotuspsychje> paul424: ubuntu is user friendly and has a great community/support
[17:56] <loganrun> The screen suddenly started going black when I try to log into gnome desktop and the monitor goes to sleep mode. Is there anyway to figure out what is going on. This is such a huge bug makes me want to switch window managers
[18:00] <Bardon_> Hello, is there a way to have an openssh server run at startup on the livecd?
[18:00] <Bardon_> I'd like to use it for diagnosis when my server won't boot
[18:00] <Bardon_> So I don't need to get a screen and a keyboard
[18:03] <loganrun> The screen suddenly started going black when I try to log into gnome desktop and the monitor goes to sleep mode. Is there anyway to figure out what is going on. This is such a huge bug makes me want to switch window managers
[18:04] <pasiz> loganrun: display drivers?
[18:05] <pasiz> Bardon_: by modifying startup yes
[18:05] <loganrun> don't think so. logged in with xfce fine
[18:07] <pasiz> loganrun: i suggest reversing your nick
[18:08] <loganrun> why
[18:08] <pasiz> so run and log to see what's happening
[18:09] <loganrun> which log
[18:13] <pasiz> loganrun: journalctl _UID=1000
[18:13] <pasiz> or whatever your user id is
[18:13] <pasiz> you could "id -user" on terminal if unsure
[18:14] <pasiz> i think you have selected wrong resolution that is not supported on your monitor
[18:15] <pasiz> so first open screen on some other terminal than your login manager is running, and execute journalctl on there
[18:16] <pasiz> when your monitor goes sleep, switch to that console
[18:17] <Bardon_> pasiz: I'm sorry I can't find the info, how do I modify startup?
[18:17] <loganrun> well, the thing is it was working but now suddenly I can't log in at boot.
[18:17] <loganrun> so seems like an update or soemthing screwed it up.
[18:18] <pasiz> Bardon: you need to create your own livecd image
[18:23] <Bardon> pasiz: Ok I'll look up how
[18:23] <pasiz> Bardon: other option is just install ubuntu on usb stick
[18:24] <pasiz> much easier
[18:26] <Marz> is there no way to install ubuntu with just the minimum packages
[18:28] <Mekaneck> what "minimum packages"?
[18:28] <Mekaneck> you can choose to do a full install of ubuntu desktop or a minimal
[18:28] <Bashing-om> Marz: Pretty mimimal:https://unit193.net/xubuntu/core/. But gives you the xfce DE.
[18:29] <Marz> i don't actually want a desktop
[18:29] <lotuspsychje> please no crosspost Marz you already been asked about that issue in -server
[18:29] <Bashing-om> Marz: Then why not install as a server ?
[18:29] <Marz> server channel is dead
[18:30] <Mekaneck> Marz: then install the server edition and perform a minimal  install
[18:30] <Mekaneck> Marz: or.... grab the 20.04 LTS Minimal iso
[18:30] <Marz> I don't see a minimal install option
[18:30] <Marz> I tried that too. Doesn't seem to support uefi.
[18:31] <Mekaneck> i doubt that
[18:31] <Mekaneck> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso
[18:34] <Bashing-om> 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] <jpmh> 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] <jona> Hello can anyone help me with a grub menu problem?
[18:42] <Bashing-om> !ask | jona
[18:45] <jona> 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] <Bashing-om> 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] <Bashing-om> jona: I have my grub menu display for 2 seconds - will that work for you ?
[18:49] <jona> I would love to set it to not showing (hidden) as I do not need it because I only have ubuntu installed
[18:53] <Bashing-om> 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] <jona> but isnt it usually like this? Isnt the boot menu only showing on dual boot? or if you hit esc?
[18:58] <coconut> no grub is always showing jona
[18:58] <coconut> and is a good thing when a kernel upgrade gives you troubles
[18:59] <coconut> you can then just start a previous kernel which did work well with your hardware
[18:59] <jona> 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] <Bashing-om> 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] <coconut> jona, you can change the time out for grub so ubuntu auto choose latest kernel a little faster? No enter needed then...
[19:03] <jona> coconut, Ive tried that already through the grub customizer and in the grub file. It just wont change. It's driving me nuts
[19:05] <rfm> jona, are there any interesting messages when you run update-grub?
[19:07] <jona> that's the update grub message: Quelldatei `/etc/default/grub'
[19:07] <jona> Quelldatei `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg'

[19:09] <alkisg> Grub defaults to hidden in single boot systems, except if the previous boot was marked as failed, in which case it waits in the boot menu
[19:09] <alkisg> Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[19:13] <jona> alkisg ,give me a minute
[19:13] <shinobi> Anyone else having really slow internet with 20.04?
[19:17] <gneeriiloeepdeer> could it be somebody is jamming your signal shinobi ?
[19:18] <shinobi> 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] <shinobi> How can I tell what wifi driver I am using?
[19:20] <Bashing-om> shinobi: ' sudo lshw -C network ' .
[19:24] <shinobi> Anyone using the intel wifi 6 ax200 driver?
[19:24] <shinobi> I don't see an option to install the proprietary driver.
[19:28] <jona> alkisg, this is my grub file output https://paste.in/nFMpPj
[19:30] <Bashing-om> jona: Recheck your link as nFMpPj does not load for me.
[19:31] <alkisg> !paste
[19:31] <alkisg> jona, use that one ^, or: cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999
[19:38] <merpnderp> Does ubuntu have a cloud drive service?
[19:38] <merpnderp> For syncing user files?
[19:38] <jona> https://paste.ac/grubfile
[19:39] <jona> thats my grub file
[19:40] <jona> and the grub menu is still showing even though GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
[19:43] <gneeriiloeepdeer> 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] <gneeriiloeepdeer> purely, this would mean increasing quality
[19:43] <gneeriiloeepdeer> I used once a windows app to do this, but I don't remember the name
[19:44] <gneeriiloeepdeer> resolution is the word
[19:44] <gneeriiloeepdeer> I want to increase an image's resolution
[19:54] <toddc> merpnderp: ubuntu did But because there are so many other free services it was discontinued
[19:54] <FKAShinobi> gneeriiloeepdeer: Try imagemagick. I used that back in the day, but not sure if it will do exactly what you want
[19:55] <toddc> merpnderp: ubuntu has many tools built in to sync to many services
[19:56] <merpnderp> toddc: thanks.
[19:56] <FKAShinobi> 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.

[20:31] <telmacblack> are there folks here who know about steam games and proton?
[20:35] <Bashing-om> telmacblack: Ask your real question and await a response :D
[20:36] <telmacblack> sure. I'm trying to run borderlands through steamplay on ubuntu 20.04. doesn't run at all, I don't know how to interpret the log
[20:40] <Bashing-om> telmacblack: Might then pastebin that log for others to try and read ?
[20:43] <telmacblack> https://pastebin.pl/view/3ca232d2
[20:44] <telmacblack> this is without forcing a specific version of proton. I had tried various versions
[20:44] <mybalzitch> other games work in proton?
[20:45] <telmacblack> only other one I've tried was just cause 2, which has poor protondb ratings anyway
[20:47] <telmacblack> er, sorry, just cause 2 doesn't work either.
[21:00] <Marz> is there no way to update packages when using the server install?
[21:01] <Marz> it doesn't seem to get the latest packages and there is no option
[21:02] <Bashing-om> !latest | Marz
[21:02] <Bashing-om> Marz: To know what is in the repo ' apt list <package> '.
[21:03] <Marz> after the install there are 40+ updates to install.
[21:04] <Marz> thought those updates would occur with the install
[21:15] <fossterer> Hello, has anyone used "Lenovo Flex 5 14" 2-in-1" with any Linux flavor? Before purchasing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086226DDB, I'd like to know of touchpad etc. issues
[21:27] <krytarik> Marz: That's no different to the desktop install though, only there you'd have the option to *download* updates while it's installing - pretty common misunderstanding though unfortunately..
[21:43] <shimbles> can you instruct apt to cache all available packages without calculating any dependencies?
[23:21] <kevr> So, I reinstalled nvidia drivers on my system, i'm in my wm through gdm, but pulse doesn't start anymore. http://sprunge.us/GZ6IIZ
[23:21] <kevr> i'm not really sure what to do
[23:22] <kevr> that file does actually exist on my filesystem
[23:23] <kevr> Alright, I got rid of that error, but daemon startup still horribly fails.
