[00:06] <Croran> cloudcell: glad you got it going. so you ended up going with ubuntu 20.10?
[00:07] <cloudcell> Croran: actually, Xubuntu
[00:07] <cloudcell> i had to switch
[00:08] <Croran> cloudcell: huh? xubuntu 20.04 then?
[00:09] <cloudcell> yes
[00:09] <cloudcell> xubuntu 20.04
[00:09] <Croran> weird. what about xubuntu lets you install cuda 11 where normal ubuntu limits you to 10?
=== cacti is now known as ice
[00:15] <Croran> I mean what is it about xubuntu...
[01:25] <leftyfb> Croran: there isn't anything. xubuntu = ubuntu with the xfce desktop installed by default. Everything else is exactly the same
[01:47] <Croran> leftyfb: yeah that's what i thought. though isnt' the xubuntu installer different and worse than the vanilla installer?
[01:47] <Croran> isn't*

[02:15] <[itchyjunk]> hi i wanted to install something on ubuntu server. the website for the software says use snap but it's looks gui'ish. is there a way to install non gui version when installing? some flag or somesuch? :s
[02:15] <leftyfb> [itchyjunk]: what are you trying to install and what version of ubuntu?
[02:16] <[itchyjunk]> 20.04. i wanted to install Coq
[02:16] <[itchyjunk]> https://coq.inria.fr/download
[02:16] <[itchyjunk]> they also mention opam for advanced users but idk what that is either
[02:18] <leftyfb> [itchyjunk]: you'll have to get more support from that project. To install what they are suggesting run: sudo snap install coq-prover   # beyond that, using the app or it's components would be done from their documentation and/or support
[02:18] <[itchyjunk]> oh okay

[04:01] <z1z1> Hi I have a quick question when I enable IPAddressDeny=any on a service the service is sandboxed as expected, however if I then start up a KVM virtual machine I find that I all sandboxing for IPAddressAllow/IPAddressDeny no longer works. For instance if I then run systemd-run -p IPAddressDeny=any -t /bin/sh I can ping 8.8.8.8 without any problem. To break this Im running virsh start parrot - where parrot is
[04:01] <z1z1> my linux based VM. Is this expected behaviour, the only way I can get sandboxing to work again is a reboot? I replicated it on my laptop as well with both environments running Ubuntu 20.04.
[04:02] <z1z1> is this a bug or am I not using systemd correctly
[04:02] <z1z1> on ubuntu
[05:27] <cloudcell> Croran: I think that ubuntu has a system that uses "snap" containers by default and xubuntu does not. Or maybe the reason is different. As far as I remember, the main reason I switched to Xubuntu is that I have it on my main computer. Another is that as far as I remember I was able to install cuda but failed to install cudnn, which, as it turned out, requires runtime libraries to be installed before the dev libraries...
[05:27] <cloudcell> So it might be totally my fault
[06:33] <Hash> Hi
[06:33] <Hash> Anybody here tonight
[06:33] <Hash> I have ubuntu 20.04 installed on new pc. Everytime I reboot I get put into grub shell
[06:34] <Hash> I have to type set prefix=(hd3,gpt2)/boot/grub and set root=(hd3,gpt2) and insmod normal and normal and then I get the grub menu back.
[06:34] <Hash> This happens to me EVERY time I reboot the PC. I already ran update-grub and made sure grub installed correctly
[06:35] <Hash> How come this keeps happening? And how to fix
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> Hash: can you share your grub cfg in a pastebin so volunteers can have a look for you
[06:38] <Hash> sec
[06:39] <Hash> lotuspsychje and everyone: https://termbin.com/rjqm
[06:39] <Hash> from /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[06:41] <Hash> Please let me know what else you may need
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> Hash: etc/default/grub too plz
[06:42] <Hash> https://termbin.com/rc1w
[06:43] <Hash> 0,0 is 1TB ssd, for VM hdd passthrough only for dedicated VM.
[06:43] <Hash> hd1 is storage. hd2 is storage
[06:43] <Hash> hd3 is ubuntu hdd, 128gb ssd, where /boot/grub is
[06:44] <Hash> However, the hd0 (for Vbox passthrough only) has a windows 10 vm, which I also boot physically
[06:45] <Hash> hd0 also has an EFI partition, made by microsoft, with no drive letter. When i browse that partition, on hd0, i see an Ubuntu folder in EFI folder
[06:45] <Hash> So, there are two hdd, hd0, and hd3 where there are TWO efi partitions, what my EFI/bios sees
[06:45] <Hash> So, when I choose the hd0 from bios, I boot into windows directly.
[06:46] <Hash> When I select hd3 from bios/efi, I get grub shell.
[06:46] <Hash> So perhaps there is a confusion in grub on which actual hd to install to?
[06:46] <Hash> What do you think?
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> not sure myself yet Hash comparing with my grub, only differs GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> lemme check my other box holdon
[06:50] <Hash> Thank you very much my friend
[06:50] <Hash> <3
[06:51] <lotus|NUC> Hash: here i got a #GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu because grub dissapeared on me once too
[06:51] <Hash> Hmm
[06:52] <Hash> So if you have this setting, it just auto drops you into a grub shell each time on reboot?
[06:52] <Hash> No menu at all? So my config is messy? How could it break I wonder
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> Hash: yeah it auto gives you menu, but you can play with timings like timeout 5sec and pick your fav Os
[06:53] <Hash> I wonder if I can verify this in a vm without having to reboot to test.
[06:53] <Hash> GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE="hidden"
[06:54] <Hash> If ‘GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE’ is set to ‘countdown’ or ‘hidden’, the timeout is instead counted before the menu is displayed.
[06:54] <Hash> https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Simple-configuration.html
[06:55] <Hash> Nowhere does it say it drops you into a grub shell.
[06:55] <Hash> I'm unsure whether this is the setting related to my issue.
[06:55] <Hash> Can anyone verify if this is set to 'hidden' like my config, it would result in a grub shell on boot? (sounds odd)
[06:55] <lotuspsychje> Hash: hidden is default (not showing grub)
[06:56] <Hash> Right, I don't care whether the menu shows up or not. I'm trying to figure out why I'm put into a grub rescue shell.
[06:57] <Hash> https://i.stack.imgur.com/RzPF5.jpg here's what it looks like when I boot up
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> Hash: try playing with it, perhaps if changing to a menu it might influence your shell
[06:57] <Hash> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/329926/grub-starts-in-command-line-after-reboot
[06:58] <Hash> ok
[06:58] <Hash> I think I should grub-install /dev/sdd (hd3)
[07:01] <Hash> Ok
[07:05] <Hash> ok
[07:05] <Hash> So I tested 'menu' and 'hidden' and neither made a difference
[07:06] <Hash> I did grub-install /dev/sda (hd0)
[07:06] <lotuspsychje> ok Hash
[07:06] <Hash> And I did grub-install /dev/sdd
[07:06] <Hash> Then I did update-grub and now menu shows up
[07:07] <Hash> Since the OS hdd is sdd, it was installing grub there, but I think bios boots automaticaly from hd0, which is sda, so I put grub there too
[07:07] <Hash> I dunno. I guess it works now. Thanks a lot dude

[10:56] <lotuspsychje> ren0v0: wich ubuntu release/kernel version are you on please
[10:59] <ren0v0> Hi @lotuspsychje 20.04.3   5.11.0-27-generic
[11:00] <lotuspsychje> ren0v0: could you test that on a previous kernel too?
[11:00] <lotuspsychje> we having a lot of 5.11 bugs going on recently
[11:00] <ren0v0> @lotuspsychje, i'm quite sure it's unrelated to kernel, I was toying with UDEV with UDEV rules for android dev tools
[11:01] <ren0v0> o well, you know better than me, just didn't feel like a coincidence
[11:01] <ren0v0> do my logs look more like a kernel issue than anything else then ?>
[11:01] <lotuspsychje> ren0v0: im not assuming anything yet, just trying to widen your testing options
[11:04] <ren0v0> @lotuspsychje, what kernel do you suggest trying ?
[11:04] <lotuspsychje> ren0v0: a non 5.11 one if you still have one in your list
[11:04] <ren0v0> ok brb
[11:07] <osse> I want to run a graphical program with sudo. Is it still recommended to use 'gksudo' or something like that?
[11:09] <ren0v0> @lotuspsychje, apparently that isn't so easy as I've since tried a different FDE install method whereby boot is also encrypted, so I cannot seem to get to grub menu at boot
[11:10] <ren0v0> how do i change kernel via cli without using grub menu ?
[11:11] <osse> In my case the graphical program is Wireshark. It seems I can add my user to a specific group to gain the privileges I need, so I'll try that. Sounds better.
[11:11] <khushant_> i need help

[11:28] <khushant_> hello
[11:56] <TJ-> ren0v0: looks like something is messed up with udev
[11:56] <ren0v0> @TJ-, yea I think so, no idea how to fix it though
[11:57] <ren0v0> is it possible to basically reset it?
[11:57] <TJ-> ren0v0: I've only just looked in so not sure where you've got to. Are you currently able to boot and control the problem system, or not?
[11:58] <ren0v0> O yes, everything is fine, the issue only happens when i try to connect a new USB device (which is Roon connected DAC) everytime i boot, so its pretty annoying, and this disconnects my keyboard
[11:59] <TJ-> ren0v0: as an aside (I wrote the FDE guide) you can always get to the boot menu at startup by repeatedly tapping the Esc key just as the motherboard firmeare is handing over to GRUB. The problem there is that by default, Ubuntu devs thought it a wonderful idea to both hide the GRUB menu entirely, and set the timeout to 0!
[11:59] <ren0v0> No way... i was trying to get hold of you at the time as there is  typeo
[11:59] <TJ-> ren0v0: OK, and as I read your earlier comments you've added your own udev .rules for that?
[11:59] <TJ-> ren0v0: oh no, not another!
[11:59] <ren0v0> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019  this one?
[11:59] <TJ-> ren/me nods
[11:59] <TJ-> oops, see, I'm good at typos!
[12:00] <ren0v0> it was doing my head in, sec
[12:00] <ren0v0> ${DEVP}1
[12:00] <ren0v0> you copied it everywhere
[12:01] <ren0v0> o wait, i see an export now
[12:01] <ren0v0> # export DEVP="${DEV}$( if [[ "$DEV" =~ "nvme" ]]; then echo "p"; fi )"
[12:01] <ren0v0> maybe this line didn't work ?
[12:01] <TJ-> Yesl it gets set if the install device is NVME only
[12:01] <ren0v0> DEVP didn't work after this
[12:02] <TJ-> ren0v0: you install to an NVME /dev/nvme* ?
[12:02] <ren0v0> nope
[12:03] <ren0v0> i guess this export statement could be wrong then?
[12:04] <TJ-> in which case DEVP and DM should not be changed (those lines add a 'p' (for Partition) suffix for NVME device napes - which other devices don't have). Those lines have been extensively tested with people who have NVME and those that don't, including me, so I'll be surprised if it breaks.
[12:04] <TJ-> ren0v0: what Ubuntu release were you installing?
[12:04] <ren0v0> @TJ-, the variable didn't exist
[12:04] <ren0v0> 20.04
[12:04] <ren0v0> I just had to remove P from every command
[12:05] <ren0v0> you can always get to the boot menu at startup by repeatedly tapping the Esc key just as the motherboard firmeare is handing over to GRUB   < nice tip thanks
[12:07] <TJ-> ren0v0: that Ubuntu default config to make the boot look 'pretty' annoys the hell out of me since it is needed when things go wrong and then owners cannot get into their systems easily unless they know. Before UEFI it was easier since you only had to hold down Shift and GRUB could check the state of the Shift/Ctrl/Alt bits set by BIOS, but with UEFI you there is no way to detect those keys are held
[12:07] <TJ-> down, only a KeyDown or KeyUp event
[12:07] <ren0v0> @TJ-, as for the udev issue, i have removed 51-android.rules so will test on next reboot
[12:08] <TJ-> ren0v0: in the FDE instructions, the only way I can se those statements failing is if the shell was /not/ bash since they use bash-specific functionality
[12:11] <TJ-> ren0v0: udev: yes, that's what I'd suggest. I'd also suggest operating from a text console rather than GUI and monitor the kernel log at the time the device is connected /and/ capture the log. E.g. switch to a console with Alt+Ctrl+F3, log-in, then "journalctl --dmesg --follow |& tee ~/bad-device.log" (pressing Ctrl+C to exit the log capture) and Alt+F1 or Alt+F7 to return to the GUI
[12:11] <ren0v0> ok thanks will SS this
[12:11] <TJ-> ren0v0: I'll check the installer do use bash (not dash) when 'sudo -i' is used
[12:12] <ren0v0> i may have done that ^
[12:12] <ren0v0> o, that's your first command i assume
[12:12] <ren0v0> sorry my memory isn't great
[12:12] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:12] <bittin> hey
[12:13] <TJ-> It's possible when I added those instructions I tested locally with my default 'bash' and didn't think that the default shell for roto is dash
[12:13] <TJ-> I don't see any mention of 'bash' across the entire article so that could be the problem
[12:13] <TJ-> ren0v0: I've also just noticedthe wiki has broken the links to the last few images as well; I'd best edit
[12:14] <ren0v0> @TJ-, on a sidenote I've had a few hangs on shutdown
[12:14] <ren0v0> I feel it could be related to mounted luks containers
[12:14] <ren0v0> maybe I'm being lazy with unmounting, but never used to have such issues
[12:15] <TJ-> ren0v0: well you can check the previous logs. systemd-journald is great for that. "journalctl --list-boots" lists prior logs and a negative-based index, so you can look at the last boot with, for example "journalctl -b -1" (and add additional options to limit that, such as "--dmesg" or "--unit NetworkManager" or whatever
[12:18] <ren0v0> @TJ-, most have this at the end https://pastebin.com/jYDE8Zgn
[12:22] <TJ-> ren0v0: I think that may just be an issue with ordering of unmount jobs with systemd. I don't get that but I do get "systemd-cryptsetup[4781]: Device LUKS_VG is still in use" which is the container for the OS rootfs/var/home LVs
[12:23] <ren0v0> next time i have to force shutdown i will check this again
[12:24] <TJ-> if LUKS_BOOT hosts /boot/ which in turn hosts /boot/efi/ which is the EFI-SP, so I wonder if that latter didn't get unmounted
[12:42] <TJ-> ren0v0: fixed the article for you :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019#Pre-Prepare_Encrypted_Partitions
[13:28] <supastupid> is there a way to see pdfs IN the terminal with terminal emulators like Kitty?
[13:29] <supastupid> _(without converting to text)
[13:31] <TJ-> by definition a 'terminal' is an analogue of a teletype terminal, e.g. text-only. Consoles can do graphics too though.
[13:32] <supastupid> Yeah, like Terminology with 'tycat' and Kitty with 'icat'.
[13:32] <jatt> less foo.pdf shows the contents of a pdf as text
[13:33] <TJ-> jatt: that is only if 'lesspipe' is doing its thing
[13:33] <jatt> TJ-: right
[13:33] <supastupid> Without converting to text though
[13:35] <supastupid> I want to a pdf open in one pane on tmux and a terminal opened on the other
[13:36] <jatt> I don't think it's possible to render PDF directly on a terminal
[13:36] <supastupid> Oh okay
[13:48] <TJ-> you can load the PDF into the default handler with "xdg-open path/to/file.pdf"
[13:53] <lotuspsychje> maybe links2 can handle pdf extension? didnt test myself

[16:46] <daviddgtnt> wait how do i shift a whole buffer in emacs
[16:46] <daviddgtnt> nvm just made a new window and moved to it
[16:47] <aba_> i think you can get that on gnu.org
[16:47] <daviddgtnt> also i use doom emacs specifically
[16:48] <aba_> i want u to do sth
[16:48] <aba_> type emacs on google
[16:48] <aba_> see what happens
[16:48] <Oxfuxxx> Last time i used emacs my computer froze...:P so now i use featherpad.
[16:49] <daviddgtnt> did you mean vi lol

[16:50] <daviddgtnt> why
[16:50] <daviddgtnt> btw i used eww to do it

[16:54] <daviddgtnt> it's a bit laggy on 2gb ram with 2 cores
[16:54] <aba_> i'm not really in these ubuntu based distros but ok i guess
[16:56] <tsapien> I believe 2gb is the minimum recommended
[16:56] <tsapien> for xubuntu
[16:57] <tsapien> so i'd expect a bit of a laggy experience
[16:58] <aba_> with xfce?

[18:07] <[itchyjunk]> Hello, i installed an app using snap. But if i go to Show Application -> CoqIDE it says "Desktop file didn't specify EXEC value". But if i open a terminal and `/snap/bin/coqide` it runs. Any easy fixes?
[18:08] <TJ-> [itchyjunk]: yes; the snap package has a bug
[18:08] <[itchyjunk]> :(
[18:08] <Hash> :(
[18:13] <[itchyjunk]> I am googling and i see other people reporting it but no suggested solution :(
[18:14] <TJ-> the wonderful world of snaps :)
[18:15] <[itchyjunk]> Would I run into issues running things via terminal that way?
[18:17] <Hash> Not really.
[18:18] <[itchyjunk]> Then i guess i'll do that for now
[18:18] <Hash> You just see a bunch of console output
[18:20] <TJ-> [itchyjunk]: if the application is for terminal only then maybe the .desktop file is only intended to provide an icon
[18:21] <[itchyjunk]> It launches a GUI IDE for Coq
[18:21] <[itchyjunk]> so i don't think it's a terminal thing.
[18:22] <Hash> It'll be just fine running manually from terminal. No big deal.
[18:22] <TJ-> hmmm, so yes, would sound like a bug unless snaps are supposed to do it differently
[18:22] <Hash> You can try something
[18:23] <Hash> Make a little bash script, #!/bin/bash \n cd /wherever/coq/is \n commandtorunide
[18:23] <Hash> Make it a+x, and put it in your $PATH somewhere
[18:23] <Hash> Then when you go to your DE start > run and type the bash script name, should launch
[18:23] <Hash> See how that behaves.
[18:24] <Hash> Could probably make a desktop icon to launch the bash script tht starts your IDE
[18:25] <Hash> What's the actual bug? Where is the bug report, find it.
[18:25] <TJ-> copy the current .desktop file int $HOME/local/share/applications/ and add the missing Exec= line :)
[18:25] <TJ-> sans my typos of course!
[18:25] <Hash> I assume the generated file would be nice.
[18:25] <Hash> I mean with the Exec=
[18:26] <Hash> But it would make more sense to know which actual bug report we're talking about
[18:26] <[itchyjunk]> i think this is related to my issue
[18:26] <[itchyjunk]> https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/certain-apps-wont-open/14929

[18:28] <[itchyjunk]> Yes, all the advanced users seem to use opam and emacs or w/e else it is that they use ..
[18:28] <Hash> Tiny, 6.0MB binary, cutomized easily peasily
[18:29] <Hash> I don't use even a gooey emacs. Just cli
[18:29] <Hash> [itchyjunk]: get on emacs (possibly vim too or emacs evil mode)
[18:30] <Hash> But I also really love Netbeans. I use everything, test out all toolkits and dev env.
[18:30] <[itchyjunk]> I installed emacs and looked up a tutorial which was 700 pages long.
[18:30] <Hash> I always seem to come back to emacs and netbeans. No matter what else.
[18:30] <Hash> Yes. It's a learning curve.
[18:30] <Hash> But very very very highly rewarding.
[18:30] <Hash> The return on your emacs learning investment is going to be multifold

[20:19] <gneeriiloeepdeer> what can I use to convert a .sub file to a .srt one?
[20:19] <gneeriiloeepdeer> mkvtoolnix has nothing for this
[20:19] <gneeriiloeepdeer> vobsub cannot be opened with geany
[20:44] <tomreyn> gneeriiloeepdeer: should we assume that you have done a web search for "ubuntu convert .sub to .srt" or similar, yet?
[20:59] <gneeriiloeepdeer> well, I found this, https://askubuntu.com/questions/149798/how-can-i-convert-idx-sub-dvd-subtitles-into-a-text-srt-subtitle-file but I was wondering, can it be done with ffmpeg? to
[20:59] <gneeriiloeepdeer> tomreyn,
[21:01] <tomreyn> gneeriiloeepdeer: i do not know. my guess would be, since OCR is not ffmpeg's primary, no. but i can be wrong.
[21:02] <tomreyn> *primary purpose
[21:05] <tomreyn> https://github.com/dguglielmi/VobSub2SRT might work
[21:06] <tomreyn> and maybe https://snapcraft.io/vobsub2srt
[21:08] <gneeriiloeepdeer> tomreyn, thats the same thing, right?
[21:08] <tomreyn> different forks of the same original code from 11 years ago
[21:26] <gneeriiloeepdeer> oh
[21:28] <gneeriiloeepdeer> tomreyn, I dont know how to pull code from github...
[21:31] <gneeriiloeepdeer> git clone?
[21:34] <gneeriiloeepdeer> although I found it in snap...
[21:37] <Hash> gneeriiloeepdeer: yes, git clone
[21:37] <Hash> gneeriiloeepdeer: yes, git clone <repo link here>
[21:38] <gneeriiloeepdeer> Hash, im too dumb for that: I cloned the repo with the url and then I executed 'vobsub2srt' I was told to install from snap
[21:38] <gneeriiloeepdeer> Im installing from snap, apparently it's easier
[21:38] <Hash> Yes snaps make it easier
[21:39] <gneeriiloeepdeer> ...
[21:40] <gneeriiloeepdeer> this vobsub is saved as a mks file, but vobsub2srt doesn't recognize it
[21:40] <gneeriiloeepdeer> do I need to find something that converts mks to srt?
[21:45] <gneeriiloeepdeer> has any of you ever tried https://askubuntu.com/questions/1200997/mks-to-srt-conversion?
[21:46] <fmlatghor> ahhhhhh
[21:46] <fmlatghor> I screwed up my network settings
[21:47] <tomreyn> fmlatghor: don't do this! also, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:47] <fmlatghor> tomreyn: my question is how did I get dns to resolve
[21:48] <fmlatghor> I did the same thing on fedora
[21:48] <fmlatghor> I started messing with dhcp and other stuff...
[21:48] <tomreyn> dns won't resolve too soon, even though there are some alterantives now.
[21:49] <tomreyn> yoube you're asking how to resolve fully qualified domain names against dns recursors?
[21:49] <fmlatghor> I think what happened
[21:49] <tomreyn> or how to configure authoritative dns servers?
[21:50] <fmlatghor> was that I removed an important package
[21:50] <tomreyn> yoube -> maybe
[21:50] <fmlatghor> right now I'm doing it manually
[21:50] <tomreyn> apt logs are in /var/log/apt/history.log
[21:50] <SJrX> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 20.04 for a Raspberry Pi on an SSD. I tried just dding the RPI image on the SSD, but the RPI seemingly won't boot it. As best I can tell USB boot is enabled on the Pi. On the rpi when I cfdisk the image I do see two partitions. Anyone have any ideas?
[21:50] <fmlatghor> tomreyn: I have a script that connects to my network with iwctl then configures dhcp with dhclient
[21:51] <fmlatghor> tomreyn: I just mean domain names
[21:52] <tomreyn> fmlatghor: and the resolver that was configured via dhcp no longer responds now?
[21:52] <fmlatghor> I don't know
[21:52] <tomreyn> or does it no longer get dconfigured via dhcp?
[21:52] <fmlatghor> tomreyn: ubuntu uses systemd-resolved?
[21:52] <tomreyn> fmlatghor: yes
[21:53] <tomreyn> by default
[21:53] <tomreyn> at least on the supported releases
[21:55] <tomreyn> SJrX: did you follow the tutorial?
[21:56] <SJrX> No I haven't found a direct tutorial for RPi + USB SSD on Ubuntu.
[21:58] <rud0lf> USB SSD is no different than HDD
[21:58] <tomreyn> hmm i'm not sure that those can boot off usb. maybe they can, i just don't know.
[21:58] <rud0lf> i think you need to burn one time fuse in rpi for that
[21:58] <rud0lf> programtically
[21:59] <SJrX> But it is seemingly different from SDCard. I guess I did just find this post, which maybe says that Ubuntu 20.04 won't work this way _directly_ and that I could try Ubuntu 20.10 so I'm trying that right now: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=295609
[21:59] <tomreyn> i see. i only remember that there were problems with usb booting related to otg mode
[22:00] <SJrX> I was expecting Ubuntu Server to require a USB to install the standard way, kind of surprised that it has these "preinstalled images".
[22:00] <rud0lf> SJrX: you can just keep sd card in, and mount / (root) from usb
[22:00] <rud0lf> you just need to set partition's uuid in cmdline.txt
[22:00] <rud0lf> so bootloader starts from sd, but rest is handled by ssd
[22:00] <tomreyn> SJrX: the 'special thing' making things more difficult here is not ubuntu ;)
[22:01] <SJrX> tomreyn, I didn't mean to slight ubuntu with that. I undrestand the RPi has some oddities.
[22:02] <SJrX> rud0lf, I didn't buy an sd card unfortunately.
[22:02] <SJrX> And I was hoping to build a RPi k8s cluster, so I don't want to go buy 6 SD Cards.
[22:02] <tomreyn> note that 20.10 is EOL, and there are later 20.04 releases
[22:03] <SJrX> Yeah I'm trying 21.04
[22:03] <tomreyn> maybe netboot would be an option for you
[22:03] <SJrX> It does seem to want be trying to boot from the net.
[22:04] <SJrX> Ooooh 21.04 worked, yay!
[22:12] <tomreyn> SJrX: https://www.instructables.com/Raspberry-Pi-4-USB-Boot-No-SD-Card/ looks like a good guide
[22:12] <tomreyn> (not tested here)
[22:13] <SJrX> I think the guides are a crap shoot. I actually just tried with Ubuntu 21.04 and it booted fine. So my problems are solved.
[22:15] <SJrX> As these will just run k8s, I'm mostly fine running 21.04 and then 21.10 until 22.04
[22:26] <fmlatghor> tomreyn: I fixed the issue -- I had to change the nameservers in my resolv.conf
[22:26] <fmlatghor> thank you
[22:28] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[22:28] <tomreyn> but note that resolv.conf is not static by default. not unless you make it static
[22:29] <fmlatghor> that's what I'm doing now
[22:29] <fmlatghor> seeing if it actually lasts
[22:30] <tomreyn> it's a symlink by default. you could delete the symlink and place a file there if you really think that's how it should be (i recommend first reading the relevant man pages to understand your options)
[22:30] <fmlatghor> unfortunately you wer eright
[22:31] <tomreyn> a rare exception
[22:36] <fmlatghor> I'm trying out systemd-resolved, but if that doesn't work
[22:38] <fmlatghor> :/
[22:40] <tomreyn> it's not clear what is "it" that's "not working", and how you can tell. but aside from that, make sure you read the DESCRIPTION and /ETC/RESOLV.CONF sections of systemd-resolved(8)
[22:41] <fmlatghor> I decided to just stick with resolv.conf
[22:41] <fmlatghor> It would probably be a good idea to learn systemd-resolved, except I don't want to spend the rest of the day doing that
[22:42] <coryc257> I know nothing about what your talking about but be aware sometimes systemd will overwrite config files so make sure that isn't one of them
[22:42] <fmlatghor> I disable systemd-resolved
[22:42] <fmlatghor> and I removed the symlink
[22:43] <coryc257> hahaha, hopefully that's enough
[22:45] <fmlatghor> simply the case is that I've already wasted so much time today trying to configure things on my laptop and I don't want to go down a rabbit hole
[22:45] <fmlatghor> resolv.conf how I configured it was working so why not just stick with that
[22:45] <oerheks_> because systemd, i would get used to it
[22:46] <fmlatghor> oerheks_: maybe if it was my server
[22:46] <fmlatghor> except this laptop I need working
