tsquadwhats the deal with Ubuntu always wanting to restart after updates?01:24
tsquadUbuntu 21.0401:24
sarnoldtsquad: that flag is set whenever there's a kernel upgrade or a small selection of library packages get upgraded01:25
sarnoldtsquad: there's kernel updates every three weeks give or take, which is often enough to feel like 'all the time' :)01:25
oerhekswith LTS, one can use Livepatch, to avoid direct the need of updating01:26
tsquadsarnold: i have been using Mint for years and they seem to never upgrade the kernel so that makes sense. I just 'feel' like every time i get an update i am back on windows01:26
oerheksand the nasty reboot01:26
tsquadoerheks: what is Livepatch? how is it different from normal updating?01:27
sarnoldtsquad: I think our hirsute release includes a tool by default that will report which services need restarting after an update; that might make it easier to judge if you need the reboot or not01:27
oerhekslivepatch is like kspice, a kernel update tool01:27
oerheks!livepatch01:27
ubottuCanonical Livepatch is a service offered by Canonical for 64 bit 14.04 and higher installs that modifies the currently running kernel for updates without the need to restart. More information can be found at https://ubottu.com/y/livepatch and https://www.ubuntu.com/server/livepatch01:27
tsquadoh awesome thanks!01:28
oerheksbut.. lts only01:28
tsquadoh thats right01:28
tsquaddang01:28
tsquadwonder if debian does the same thing with kernel upgrades that often01:29
sarnoldI don't think so, but I only skimmed march through september on https://lists.debian.org/debian-changes/01:32
tsquadthanks!01:34
tsquadwas thinking of switching over to Debian 11 because of that but wanted to find out why it was happening first.01:35
sarnoldif you don't care about the kernel security updates you can just ignore the reboot messages01:36
sarnoldI certainly don't reboot every kernel upgrade01:36
tsquadhmm, not a bad idea i guess01:37
tsquadany of you guys use Wayland?01:38
tsquadbeen using it for a while now with few issues. Just wish it was supported on some other DEs01:40
sarnoldstill xorg here01:43
tsquadyea i had to switch to Wayland because my new laptop doesnt play nice with external monitors with Xorg01:43
sarnoldoh wow I thought it was usually the other way around :) heh01:44
sarnoldstill, thanks for giving it a shot. maybe someday it'll be the thing for me01:44
tsquadyea with xorg the performance on external displays was TERRIBLE01:44
tsquadreally the only issue I have with Wayland is when certain programs open, or even when certain things happen on web pages, the screen goes black for a sec01:45
tsquadhave not looked into why yet though01:46
[itchyjunk]Hi, i installed `emacs`. If i go to `Show Application -> Emacs` it open it in a terminal window. if i open a terminal and type `emacs` it open gui emacs. can i make the gui emacs button also open gui emacs?02:01
Croran[itchyjunk]: open your gui emacs from the terminal, then pin it to your dock.02:05
[itchyjunk]ah02:05
Croran[itchyjunk]: btw, what is 'show application' ?02:06
[itchyjunk]It's the thing with 9 dots at the bottom of pinned applications02:07
Croran[itchyjunk]: oh, like the 'start menu' equivalent? it opens when you hit your 'windows key'?02:07
[itchyjunk]If i over over it, it says `Show Applications`02:07
[itchyjunk]Hm, i tried hitting the window key, that makes all my tabs show up next to each other. not sure how to explain that02:08
Croran[itchyjunk]: ah ok. sorry I'm on Unity so I'm not super familiar with all the GNOME stuff.02:09
[itchyjunk]https://i.ibb.co/748mRQz/image.png02:09
[itchyjunk]the thing at the bottom02:09
Croran[itchyjunk]: ah sure. yeah kind of like the 'start menu'.02:09
Croran[itchyjunk]: Unity's equivalent button says 'Search your computer' when you hover. lol.02:10
[itchyjunk]ah02:10
Croran[itchyjunk]: you're on 1366x768?02:10
[itchyjunk]I have no idea02:10

saul_wow, you're very smart04:30
Croransaul_: is that a gaming laptop?04:31
saul_yes04:31
Croransaul_: what do you mean by 'initialize the fan'?04:32
saul_Cronan : this laptop has a special button for an extra fan starts04:34
saul_Cronan: but when I installed Ubuntu that fan doesnt work04:34
yukiup:/04:36
yukiupthere is a lengthy (first google search result) that might help, https://askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed04:38
Croransaul_: try this https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/controlling-dell-fan-speeds-temperature-on-ubuntu-debian-linux/04:40
saul_Cronan: I've tried to do twice and I got this error "insmod /lib/modules/5.11.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.ko restricted=004:44
saul_modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dell_smm_hwmon': No such device"04:44
rabbitnightmaredoing network installs of Ubuntu and I will have to install a few locally04:49
rabbitnightmareon Arch I have to efibootmgr -b XXXX -B before installation cleanly04:49
rabbitnightmaredoes Ubuntu install remove EFI entries?04:49
Croransaul_: then i'm not sure. may be too new to be supported by the dell module.04:58
Croransaul_: have you tried with ubuntu 21.04?04:58
saul_rabbitnightmare: yeah, I did that before I installed Ubuntu if I didnt do it I cant did it04:59
Croranor 21.10 beta?04:59
saul_Cronan: I only tried to do on 20.0404:59
Croranrabbitnightmare: i wonder. doesn't efi install put something in NVRAM or some such?05:00
Croransaul_: then the newer versions may be worth a try. which actual model is your system? g3 encompasses like... 3 model years of different systems. with intel 8th gen, ryzen, intel 9th gen... etc.05:01
saul_Cronan: intel 10th gen05:08
tsujpI'm using `StandardOutput=append:/var/log-test.log` under `[Service]` for a systemd service file I have (the process does not have any output redirection) but the file `/var/log-test.log` is empty? I have done `systemctl daemon-reload` and then `systemctl restart theservice` beforehand. Anyone know what's up?05:39
TheBigKtsujp: doesnt journalctl do exactly what u want already?05:43
tsujpIt does but I want the logs in a very specific file (location)05:43
TheBigKokay. got it05:43
=== genii is now known as genii-core
tsujpAny idea from yourself? `systemctl status theservice` or `journalctl -u theservice` shows logs so I am stumped as to why they are not also going into that file05:45
tsujpAm I missing extra configuration here?05:45
alkisgtsujp: try /var/log/test.log to make sure it's not permissions issues (log is owned by syslog)05:46
alkisgAlso, you could ask in #systemd...05:46
TheBigKwhich ubuntu u got @tsujp05:47
tsujpTheBigK 20.04.305:48
tsujpalkisg will try now05:48
TheBigKi found file: should be may be doing simething05:48
TheBigKreplace append with file and see atleast if that works05:48
tsujpNo dice alkisg05:49
tsujpI did `file:` too just then with no effect05:49
TheBigKbig F05:50
TheBigKwhich systemd version u got?05:50
TheBigKi have no lts... so im sorry to ask05:50
tsujp24505:51
TheBigKthat should work thjen05:52
TheBigKDefaultStandardOutput= <- can u try adding that to file:/05:54
TheBigKas a workaround u could use a specific syslog filter and write the log that way which would include logrotate as well.. mich might come in handy05:55
tsujpDefaultStandardOutput to `file:/var/log/test.log` right?05:55
TheBigKDefaultStandardOutput=file:/var/log/test.log <- yes05:56
TheBigKis that service running as root?05:56
tsujpI just tested this with `echo "sdadas"` as a systemd service which works so this is _probably_ something to do with the service being a shell script which runs a docker container? But as mentioned before `journalctl -u theservice` shows logs so it's not like it cannot see them or anything05:56
tsujpNo it's running as a user05:56
tsujpI tried /home/user/test.log which didn't work either05:57
TheBigKthen the permission should be corrected as the user of the service i would assume05:57
tsujpTrying defaultstandardoutput now05:57
TheBigKokay05:57
TheBigKcheck man systemd.exec ... there is a lot of documentation about that ... and theres also a section about shell scripts...05:57
tsujpNothing still05:58
TheBigKis syslog an option for u?05:58
tsujpIt is05:59
TheBigKhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/37585758/how-to-redirect-output-of-systemd-service-to-a-file <- checkout that one then05:59
tsujpI'll give that a shot06:00
tsujpNo dice... something is really wrong here06:10
tsujpOkay I've got a vanilla rsyslog config but it's telling me invalid command QueueWorkerThreads, QueueFilename etc06:20
tsujpAnyone know which module provides these?06:20
tsujpGot it, some garbage service installed a .conf file which I deleted and now things work06:27
NitrigaurI'm trying to setup a secure multi-boot installation of Ubuntu 21.04 (LUKS -> LVM), but the installer can't seem to copy any files to my chosen root partition and fails shortly after having input the necessary login data for a user account.07:13
NitrigaurShould I switch to the Ubuntu Server Live Image instead?07:15
NitrigaurI need the most recent kernel available because of hardware support. Else I would have chosen the LTS instead.07:18
kilzoolCould someone help me with?  Long term Ubuntu 20.04 - nvidia -- very rarely, it gets removed, and doesn't update.  I have to use another backup.  Tell me which logs to upload?07:19
alkisgNitrigaur: 21.04 and 20.04.3 have the same kernel, 5.1107:20
alkisgIt's called long term support for a reason :)07:20
Nitrigauralkisg, I see, but is the installer of LTS version more capable when it comes to relatively complex installation scenarios featuring a LUKS -> LVM sandwich?07:24
alkisgNitrigaur: no idea, I haven't used either :)07:24
Croranwow irssi seems extremely minimal. is there an easy way to add a sidebar with list of channels? to integrate DE notifications? to add a sidebar with a list of users in the current channel?07:26
NitrigaurCroran, please refer to the Irssi channel instead.07:27
Croranalkisg: what about 21.10 beta? still same kernel?07:27
alkisgCroran: no idea, I think it'll release with 5.13 or something, not sure if they include that yet07:28
alkisgI'll install 22.04 alpha, but I don't bother with non-LTS editions...07:29
hajonnesI try to use the command 'blacklist' but it is not installed, is it the same command as zblacklist wich apt suggest I should install?07:38

loomyanyone knows how to fix my routing problem? my router sets up different ip for my rpi after each restart https://loomy.vudiq.sk/ip.txt08:56
loomyi tried editing /etc/resolv.conf and restarting systemd-resolved.service but that didnt help much09:21
EriC^^loomy: i think you're not supposed to edit it, something else has to be edited, not sure what though09:22
loomyi even did ifconfig eth0 down; sleep 10; ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up09:27
loomydidnt help either09:27
loomyip route flush cache did nothing too09:28
ograhow did you get ifconfig on there ? that has been deprecated years ago and might conflict with todays setup methods09:32
ograon a desktop install you should use "nmtui" if configuring from commandline ... on a server install you use netplan ... https://netplan.io/ has example configurations09:35

nathan12Hey, I recently updated from kernel 5.4.0-81 to 5.4.0-84 and my system started freezing within a few seconds of boot every time. Is there a way for me to get a log where the cause might be found so I can report it?14:52
ikoniawhere is it freezing ?14:52
nathan12It freezes on the login screen, although one time I typed my password quickly enough that it froze after that14:53
nathan12So whatever the cause is, it happens between 2 and 5 seconds after the login screen appears14:53
alkisgnathan12: if you run `apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04` you'll get to 5.11 ; you could first check if it works there and not bother with 5.4 at all14:56

samy1028leftyfb and sarnold,  I found my notes about rsyslog-omudpspoof from 2+ years ago.  "I had to compile from source and used "./configure --enable-omudpspoof" and "make" on a separate Ubuntu 16.04 system with GCC installed.  I then copied "./plugins/omudpspoof/.libs/omudpspoof.so" to the live system's "/usr/lib/rsyslog" directory."16:30
samy1028So, I'm currently spinning up a separate dev Ubuntu VM to compile rsyslog from source and I'll copy the library to my live system.16:31
TazyHi all, I am struggling with my pi, an external USB HDD keeps going into this state where I can't access the folder, and if I try to unmount the drive, I get target is busy and need to reboot?16:31
samy1028just wanted to let you know that I found the answer from my question yesterday.16:31
leftyfbTazy: cat /etc/os-release | nc termbin.com 999916:33
ikoniaTazy: you can't unmount it as either you have a file open or you're in the directory under the mount point16:33
Tazyhttps://termbin.com/uqev16:33
leftyfbTazy: as ikonia said, make sure you are not IN the directory you are trying to unmount16:34
Tazywell I can't access that folder either16:34
ikoniawhat folder16:34
ikoniawhere is the mount point ?16:34
Tazy  /mnt/T16:34
Tazyokay so my screen session was still in it16:35
ikoniathere you go16:35
Tazyso now I can umount and mount again16:35
Tazybut it's odd that this keeps happening16:35
Tazylike it almost goes offline ?16:35
ikoniawhat keeps happening ?16:35
Tazythat this drive, goes into this state that I can't even do a ls in the folder. and samba says the shared folder is empty16:36
ikoniawhat happens if you do an 'ls'16:36
leftyfbTazy: the usb drive is probably going to sleep mode and you just need to wait for it to spin up before it will return a directory listing16:36
Tazy"bash: cd: ../: Transport endpoint is not connected"16:36
leftyfbTazy: troubleshoot from the filesystem, not from the samba share16:37
Tazythat was from my ssh session16:37
ikoniadmesg will show you the state of the drive16:38
Tazyalso this is some combination of screen, that is cd'd to that folder and the drive going to sleep16:38

ograthe pi doesnt16:46
ograunless yu have some giant power supply16:46
ogra(like 5A or some such)16:47
leftyfbTazy: you might want to check out the specs more closely, you more than likely need an external power supply. Definitely if it's not an SSD16:47
ograeven for most SSDs you need one16:47
ikoniashow me the output of uname -a16:48

ograTazy, I/O errors are always either failing hardware or failing/missing power16:53
TazyMaybe due to temp16:53
ikoniaTazy: I have this problem on a silverstone raid array, where it goes to sleep as a device wiht power management, because of a similar problem with a similar low grade consumer board16:53
Tazymaybe I need to try the usb3 power16:53
leftyfbTazy: what is the model# of your Kingston hard drive?16:53
ikoniait actually causes the host to crash16:53
ikoniabut the root cause is the power management puts the array to sleep16:53
Tazyleftyfb, it's a kingston HDD enclosure16:54
leftyfbTazy: ok, that needs a lot more than 900mA which is all that your USB3 port can supply16:54
ikoniathe chipset will matter too, I thikn the 'oxford' chipsets are the only ones that work well with power management too16:54
ikoniacan't remember the exact models but audio forums will detail the good chipset16:54

croraflotuspsychje, OK, I found instructions how to install it. There is a custom package from my government18:13
lotuspsychjecroraf: great! after installing your govs eid, you might need sudo apt update18:13
noarblotuspsychje: I wasn't able to get apt-offline to work the last time I had tried to set it up. Maybe this was it: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu-security-tools/tree/repo-tools/update_repo18:15
croraflotuspsychje, the instructions dont say that, I need to reinstall my PC though. Please don't reply until I'm back online, cause my debouncer is not working18:15
noarbI'm trying to get qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients with their dependencies available for installation from a usb drive (no internet access)18:16
sarnoldsamy1028: did you have to get the source from the rsyslog upstream? or did you have to get sources from an omudpspoof upstream?18:22
xrandrHi, I am not sure which channel to ask this in, so I figured I'd start here.  I have installed OnlyOffice and removed Libreoffice.  I was wondering if there was a way to launch the separate editors (word, excel, etc) instead of using the OnlyOffice launcher?18:28
crorafxrandr, maybe ask them directly here: https://www.onlyoffice.com/en/desktop.aspx18:31
xrandrcroraf: ok, thank you.  Would you happen to know how to set OnlyOffice as the default app in Ubuntu to open .docx, .xlsx, etc ?18:32
matsamanxrandr: you can probably do that from the file manager by right-clicking > properties18:33
xrandrThank you18:33
matsamanxrandr: onlyoffice, you use some upstream proprietary binary installer for that, right?18:33
samy1028sarnold, I got the rsyslog tarball from https://www.rsyslog.com/files/download/rsyslog/rsyslog-8.2104.0.tar.gz18:33
samy1028, then ran configure to enable omudpspoof, copied the .so to the live site.  I'll restart rsyslog this evening after hours with the updated .so in place.  I found some references to the Ubuntu rsyslog maintainers not wanting to add this module into the Ubuntu repository, probably because not many people use it.18:33
xrandrmatsaman: I'm running ZorinOS which is a Ubuntu derivative. There's no zorin support channel on here that I saw, so I cam here.  Anyway, I installed it using the Software installer, which I believe installs it as a snap18:34
sarnoldsamy1028: aha, cool :) thanks18:34
matsamanxrandr: ah18:35
matsamanxrandr: so what does dpkg -L onlyoffice | grep -i bin say?18:35
xrandrmatsaman: dpkg-query: package 'onlyoffice' is not installed18:35
xrandrso definitely a snap18:35
matsamanmmm, I suspected snaps would not expose any useful info, but hoped otherwise =P18:36
xrandrIt's ok. The file manager automagically set OnlyOffice as the default app after Libreoffice was removed. I just didn't see it.18:36
xrandrThank you :)18:36
privato89Hi guys18:38
privato89I need to create a keyboard shourtcut of a shell command18:38
apb_20.04 Are there any reasons why I should not use my sdd drive for swap?  Also, file or partition?  I would think partition swap would be faster, but I don't know for sure.18:39
privato89I thought that maybe I could make a .sh file and revoke it trought shortcut18:39
apb_I should mention all my files are on hdd.18:39
privato89but I don't know how to do it18:40
privato89Is there someone who can help me? Thnaks18:40
apb_privato89, I'm guessing you want to look at key bindings.  That's all I know.18:40
privato89apb_ , no, I have a shell command and wanna revoke it trought shortcut18:41
xrandrmatsaman: I uninstalled the snap and installed the .deb file (runs faster this way), and the dpkg -L command you sent me did output quite a bit. Seems that you need to use the launcher though :)18:43
croraflotuspsychje, card reader is not detected. Do I also need to install its drivers appart from this eID application?18:43
=== aaguhagegaooeg is now known as westor
apb_privato89, revoke or invoke?  Revoke means cancel.  Invoke means start.  Anyway, I found this link... not sure if it's what you want.  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/keyboard-shortcuts-set.html.en18:44
matsamanxrandr: if there aren't separate executables, there might be some optional params you can append to the unified launcher command18:45
xrandrmatsaman: that's what I was thinking :)18:50
ELFrederichCan someone walk me through getting Gimp installed on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 with the "heal selection" and "liquid rescale" plugin?18:52
matsamanELFrederich: https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/wiki/Resynthesizer-and-GIMP-version-318:54
ELFrederichmatsaman, is it possible?18:59
ELFrederichas far as I can tell Gimp on Ubutnu 20.04 is at version 2.10, that link is about 2.99.x and 3.x18:59
ELFrederichI've got a fresh VM to use, just not sure where to start... snap or apt?19:09
privato89Can someone help me?19:16
matsamanprivato89: with what?19:17
matsamanELFrederich: if you can't decide yourself, I'd stick with the more traditional19:17
privato89I need to invoke a shell command with a keyboard shortcut19:17
matsamanprivato89: in regular Ubuntu?19:17
privato89yes19:17
matsamanhttps://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/keyboard-shortcuts-set.html.en19:18
sarnoldwow19:18
privato89I can't do it with the guide you sent me19:19
privato89this is the command: https://bpa.st/MYPQ19:20
sarnoldprivato89: try putting that into a shell script, so that you can replace that whole thing with just /home/privato89/bin/change-opacity.sh   or something similar19:21
sarnoldit's possible it can't handle subshells etc19:22
privato89sarnold, I thought it already, but I don't know how to create it19:24
ELFrederichmatsaman, okay... I went to apt.  Installed gimp and gimp-plugin-registry.  These are the errors I get:  https://bpa.st/XJAA19:26
ELFrederichSo, no "liquid rescale" and no "heal selection"19:26
sarnoldprivato89: aha :) try: mkdir ~/bin ; nano ~/bin/change-opacity.sh ;   add #!/bin/bash  on the first line, then your line as the second line; save and exit nano; then ; chmod 755 ~/bin/change-opacity.sh   ; then try running ~/bin/change-opacity.sh  and see if it works..19:26
privato89sarnold, thanks, I try :)19:27
ioriaprivato89, the win id will change each  time .... what's the purpose of a shortcut ? (sy for asking)19:34
privato89sarnold, it workssss XD19:34
sarnoldioria: my guess / assumption is that privato89 will be changing the script once every session19:35

sarnoldprivato89: wooooo19:35
ioriai see19:36
privato89ioria, that one was the wrong line, it works with the right one without id19:36
sarnoldioria: I did that for a while to get some urgent notifications for an irssi running in a screen session or something like that19:36

Annoyed-Greetings. I had a power failure today. I've got an install of Ubuntu 20.04.3 on a dedicated machine, (Linux only, no other OS). I knew power was dying, and I was shutting down (shutdown -h now) and just as I hit enter, power died. After power restored, the machine won't boot normally. I get errors: error: /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-802109010901-generic has invalid signature and error: you need to load the kernel first20:34
Annoyed-I can boot it from an old generic kernel via the recovery menu20:35
sarnoldyay20:35
Annoyed-The hits I get back from google seem to indicate something about a signed kernel and windows secure boot... this machine doesn't have any other OS on it.20:37
sarnoldyou should be able to use apt install --reinstall   with your kernel packages to ask those files to be rewritten20:37
Annoyed-Seems to be a ton of entries for that.... 802109010901-generic   which do I want, or is there a package that grabs them all?20:47
Annoyed-Hmmm... I'll have to come back later.. don't have any more time now. thanks for the suggestion20:52
