[00:08] Guest08: Do you do regular checks for updates yourself from terminal ? once can edit ' gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier no-show-notifications true ' from then on it should never tell you when updates are available.

[00:41] is there any terminal globaltime app? [00:41] to show time from different timezones, live [00:41] also, with minutes and seconds counting [00:47] @gneeriiloeepdeer: script one away. the `date` command is your friend [00:47] gneeriiloeepdeer: once upon a time I had a script in ~/bin/dates that did something like: echo friendname ; TZ=Europe/Whatever date ; echo other friend ; TZ=Asia/whatever date .. etc etc [00:48] gneeriiloeepdeer: granted there's no 'counting' on that kind of display, but I usually just wanted to know roughly what time it was for pals [00:49] @gneeriiloeepdeer: matter of fact. `systemd` can also list the timezones for you since it abstracts what you can do in a script by hoisint the filesystem's /usr/share/zoneinfo files [00:50] `timedatectl list-timezones` [00:51] then you can just hack a script that leverages that command and takes a search $var as an input and grep away the output with the formatting that you want === M4he is now known as mahe [01:21] will cuda for ubuntu 20.04 work on ubuntu 21.04?

[07:48] lavaball: what are you using, network manager, /etc/network/interfaces, netplan? [07:49] E.g. in network manager, it's a setting in the connection properties [07:49] the standard? i'm guessing network manager then. [07:49] (i.e. something is supposed to set it on boot, it doesn't persist across reboots magically) [07:49] Then run `nm-connection-editor` and set wol in the connection properties [07:50] well, it just worked on 18.04. doesn't since i updated. [07:50] anyway, nm-connection said Unable to init server so i'm guessing not that. [07:50] i did sudo. [07:51] Don't do sudo [07:51] does the same. [07:51] ohhh [07:51] is that a graphical thing?

[07:53] The command-line way to edit nm connections from ssh, is: nmtui [07:54] Or, google about the exact `nmcli` command to enable wol in a connection [07:54] hm, config looks the same (execpt for addresses of course) on my 18.04 box. [07:54] E.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wake-on-LAN#NetworkManager [07:54] and there it doesn't get disabled.

[16:17] Ringtailed_Fox I've just upgraded to BluRay burner but I don't have clean disc atm to try [16:17] yup, BD-R data [16:17] ohh [16:17] good [16:18] was gonna just say that data backup and burning your own home movies to it are perfectly legal but piracy and dulplicating legally-purchased media is a huge no-no and cannot be supported :) [16:18] no i think desktop is same animal config profile or something changed [16:18] lost the default mx19 styling [16:18] Ringtailed_Fox duplicating legally purchased media is legal where I live btw :) [16:19] i know, but it's not allowed *everywhere* and it's best to just avoid the whole topic entirely to be safe [16:19] but I just want to burn actual files (photos and VPS backups lol) to read-only media lol [16:19] so yeah, no legal issues here ;) [16:19] that's fine. okay. so what you'll need is a BD-RE disk or two in order to test it out [16:20] ok new user accts fix that so [16:20] you can test with a DVD-R to confirm that your hardware is wroking properly [16:20] should I care if it's 25 or 50GB disk? my burner supports both [16:20] mx19n00b, sounds like a configuration .file got corrupt due to low space [16:21] well, if you put a 25 GB disk in, you'll have a lower capacity. if you put a 50 GB disk in, you'll have more space to work with. putting a 50 GB disk in a 25 GB drive... might not work properly [16:21] Ringtailed_Fox already tested with DVD media :) got it from a friend who tested DVD capabilities on Windows 10 lol [16:21] alrighty. so.. we know the drive *probably* works just fine [16:21] mx19n00b: might be ~/.cache at this point, but yeah, running out of disk space can confuse configs that try to write constantly [16:21] Ringtailed_Fox I have one 1080p movie on BluRay so maybe I could test reading capability this way === s_o_v_i_e_t_w_a_ is now known as sivietwave [16:22] mx19n00b, might want to try deleting ~/.cache (or copying it to ~/.cache-old first) and then rebooting [16:22] sure! === sivietwave is now known as sovietwave [16:23] you don't want to waste time burning optical media [16:23] rip maybe, and store & transfer & have on hand in digital form (USB stick/drive), but not burn [16:24] matsaman: why not? another different media to store stuff [16:24] he said he wants to archive data in a safe read-only format [16:24] already have important things on RAID1 NAS but it's nice to have more copies [16:24] i can understand that. i usd to burn my necesary documents to CD-Rs and DVD-Rs back in the day [16:24] it's ages of effort and education to do it right [16:24] well you don't want to store anything important on RAID1 either [16:25] why not lol? RAID1 keeps two copies of everything, if one drive fails no data is lost [16:25] especially with ZFS [16:25] two local drives and one remote drive, when one dies replace it; that's all you need [16:25] yeah but ZFS is a pain in the ass to configure [16:25] RAID is about throwing hardware at the problem of _access_ to data [16:25] it's not about preserving data [16:25] Ringtailed_Fox I run XigmaNAS (FreeBSD based OS), very easy to configure [16:25] it's multiple drives or FS areas pretending they're one, for the sake of speed [16:26] RAID literally kills hardware [16:26] it's worth it if you need the extra speed [16:26] what lol [16:26] not kidding [16:26] matsaman you're confusing RAID0 with other modes [16:26] RAID is not for backup, least of all RAID1 [16:26] I am not [16:26] yes you are lol [16:26] RAID is in no way for backup [16:27] nor is it for data redundancy for the sake of data preservation [16:27] if you see that as distinct from 'backup' [16:27] stick to ubuntu support guys [16:27] sorry === Ringtailed_Fox is now known as God === God is now known as RingtailedFox [16:59] h [16:59] i [16:59] I have a problem where a process (snapserver) runs into a timeout after a while, but the process itself is still "active", which is why systemd doesnt restarts the service.

I don't need or want these locales and would rather not spend time generating them.

I am looking for a way to preempt this. [17:32] well, so I've got myself clean 25GB BD-R media and tried to burn around 23GB project using Brasero [17:32] the only thing I've got was drive ejecting disc and Brasero showing following error: [17:32] Checking session consistency (brasero_burn_check_session_consistency brasero-burn.c:1739) [17:32] Unsupported type of task operation [17:32] Session error : An internal error occurred (brasero_burn_record brasero-burn.c:2854) [17:32] how do I proceed lol? [17:33] SovietWave, I assume the disk is unreadable upon reinserting? [17:34] co0n: disc is properly recognized as clean 25GB BD-R [17:34] 23GB and an error [17:34] co0n: after trying to burn it it's still recognized as clean and ready to use [17:34] this is kind of what I was talking about, about not wanting to do this [17:35] SovietWave, you should still be able to see that the disc was being written to, looking at the data side? (I have a BD-writer, but no remembrance of using BD-media) [17:35] co0n: disc looks untouched [17:36] SovietWave, how long did it take Brasero to eject the disc? [17:36] literally under one second [17:37] also dvd+rw-mediainfo still says that this disc is blank [17:38] co0n: so I'm pretty sure it's blank [17:38] SovietWave, have you used the same system/configuration to burn discs, and especially blu-rays, before? [17:39] co0n I was able to burn DVDs but with a different burner (which I've exchanged for better one today) [17:39] i have lots of clean DVD+R media so I can verify if DVD still works fine [17:39] SovietWave, use an RW if you have one ;) [17:40] only DVD-RAM lol [17:40] (and I don't want to unwrap brand new disc this expensive just for testing) [17:41] I think its something with the new drive and the medium is fine. Did you check dmesg for strange messages? [17:42] co0n after ejecting BD-R I still have its icon in system tray lol [17:42] and another one for DVD media [17:42] SovietWave, Icon issue is probably unrelated. [17:45] SovietWave, the drive is properly detected using lsblk, isn't it? Should be /dev/srX, with X being some number. [17:46] co0n yup, it's /dev/sr0 and it seems like DVD burning works fine (it's finalizing) === sharperguy__ is now known as sharperguy [17:47] co0n yup, no issues burning DVD even on old and low quality media [17:48] SovietWave, I got a "Check Integrity" option under "Tools" in Brasero, but no idea if it works on blank discs. You might want to try this? I think Nero offered verification of blanks back in the days. [17:49] co0n this option only works with already burned media :( [17:51] SovietWave, try starting brasero from a Terminal, we might be able to see why it fails before not touching your blu-ray. [17:56] lsblk [17:57] Back to my original question: Can someone help me on why Ubuntu does not respect my debconf locales presets and decides to generate all locales for any language I select a single locale of? [17:57] hello, after power loss my system went down and when i started it it has default mouse cursors in some apps and notify-send just hangs indefinetly [17:58] could you help me track the culprit?

[18:00] co0n huh K3B works fine with same burner and same BD-R media ;) no idea why [18:00] i don't know :( [18:00] co0n it just started burning happily [18:00] rud0lf, if the boot continued, it did not error out fatally, [18:01] rud0lf, do you know if you have smartmontools installed?

[18:46] currently we've an NFS share where our main mail repo resides in, and multiple mail servers that handle the routing dump the data into this NFS share [18:47] by setting up an iSCSI LUN and connections to each Ubuntu host that is handling the mail, would I be running into any sort of file lock issues when processing occurs w/the mail queue? [18:49] Muligan: I've never done anything that complicated but I think if you're doing iscsi of a single LUN to multiple hosts, you'll need somethign very specialized [18:50] sarnold, what's got me questioning my CTO's statement is I've a SAN w/iSCSI LUNs in place, but I present the multiple LUNS to a multitude of ESXi hosts within our vSphere cluster [18:50] and it simply works flawlessly [18:50] so I'm just trying to bridge this gap between the (2) file structures and understand better [18:51] I didn't know if a certain file system overlaid on the iSCSI LUN could make this happen or not... [18:53] Muligan: yeah, I have to admit I don't know off-hand any cluster filesystems that are designed to share a LUN among multiple hosts.. normally people run filesystems on multiple hosts to try to reduce contention on a storage device of some sort, not add contention :) [18:57] Muligan, why do you need multiple mail servers which use the same storage? If you want segregation, you have to have separate storage, if not, you can run a single MTA. [18:58] Muligan, mail can be forwarded pretty well. [19:00] I found a wikipedia thing that claims to have shared-disk clustered file systems, but (a) I have to doubt that there's *that* many "give a single LUN to multiple hosts" filesystems in the world (b) as co0n said I can't imagine it's worth it :) https://twitter.com/nicolearbour/status/1432539854479503361 [19:00] siigh not that. [19:00] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustered_file_system#SHARED-DISK [19:33] anyone know how to install openjdk7 on ubuntu 20.04 or higher? I find no solution so far [19:36] transhumanist: the oracle pages appear to offer 'java se 7' through oracle support https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html [19:37] transhumanist: maybe your application vendor has some suggestions on how to run such an old jdk? [19:41] its not my application, its a conversion utility for openfoam [19:41] converts models to openfoam format [19:47] transhumanist: what you are asking for is unsupported. You'll need to contact the developer of the tool you are trying to use [19:58] hi, I have accidentally deleted a folder with very important data using rm -rf command [19:59] is there a tool in ubuntu which would help me to recover the deleted data? [20:01] masber: the extundelete package has a tool that sometimes helps; the autopsy interface to SleuthKit is pretty good for it, too [20:01] masber: if the data you deleted lives on the filesystem you'll use to install the packages, it might be better to use a live system [20:01] masber: depending upon how valuable this data is, perhaps even image the entire disk before doing the work [20:04] masber: backups [20:08] fuuck, to make things worse I just realised I restored an older version from the trash bin [20:08] fuuck my life [20:11] !language | masber [20:11] masber: Please avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [20:13] sorry [20:15] extundelete gives me errors when trying to run make command, could someone please help me to understand how to fix this https://dpaste.com/CS7YKQM5S.txt? [20:16] masber: sudo apt install extundelete [20:16] masber: why not just install the package from the archive? [20:16] ok, I was just following their instructions [20:17] masber: in ubuntu you should stick with packages available in ubuntu [20:24] I assume that by restoring an older version of the folder from the trash bin would make extundelete useless? [20:26] maybe it depends whether the original files were using the same blocks? [20:28] hmm, sorry, no ideas there; I wouldn't expect that alone to be the reason why it doesn't work, but there's really no guarantees at all [20:31] and why does it suggests to unmount the divice in order to recover the data? [20:32] masber: because the device is constantly being written to, potentially writing over the blocks you are trying to recover [20:32] mmm ok [20:32] thank you === genii is now known as genii-core [21:33] how do I log in to ubuntu for pastebinit paste it doesnt seeem to want to take my username and password, and I reset it to no special characters to see if that was the problem [21:33] transhumanist: what's the original problem? You can't log in? [21:34] right cant log into canonical to get pastebinit to wokr [21:34] work [21:34] login where now? [21:34] pastebinit.ubuntu.com [21:34] you shouldn't need to log in to use pastebinit [21:34] from terminal so the command works [21:34] to do a pastebin [21:35] it should work without logging into anything [21:35] it just returns the paste url http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ [21:35] no set of characters after [21:37] -u -p doesnt seem to fix it, but it doesnt generate an error either [21:37] is there another pastebinit site i can point it to [21:37] transhumanist: pastebinit is still allowed to paste anonymously [21:38] ok is there another url I can try to paste it to you know of? [21:38] transhumanist: maybe you have an invalid ~/.pastebinit.xml [21:38] transhumanist: you can use: cat /etc/issue | nc termbin.com 9999 [21:39] thanks [21:40] transhumanist: there was a lot of illegal content being pasted that generated lots of take down notices and big admin burden, so browser users need to sign in via Ubuntu One now [21:40] I see it just doesnt seem to want to do it [21:41] oh dear [21:41] looks like they broke the site [21:41] transhumanist: it was ok when I tested it yesterday! [21:41] popey: not again! [21:41] i just pasted something, and it worked fine, but it forced me to login to see it [21:42] does it show a list of pastebins somwhere that you have pasted [21:42] Still works for me (no login I think it has me cached) [21:42] "You need to be logged in to view this paste." [21:42] ok so how do i log in from a terminal [21:43] so your saying noone else can view it, what good is a pastebin then? [21:43] no, it just made me login first time [21:43] after that it's fine [21:43] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zYYn5ZCFQ4/ [21:43] can you see that? [21:43]
