derdritteCrosspost from #xubuntu: Hi everyone, I am using xubuntu 20.04.3 with xfce 4.14 on a recent 5.11 kernel. After my PC wakes from sleep or hibernation it sometimes (seemingly after longer sleep or hibernation) does not show the desktop again. I have to change to another terminal and then back to terminal 7 for it to show again. I tried to deactivate13:44
derdritteall screensavers and locks I could find. I googled for it, but I am not sure I know the correct terminology to find good results. Any hints?13:44
lotuspsychjederdritte: we rather prefer no crossposts, but does this occur on earlier kernel versions too?13:46
meican i access ubuntu remote by windows? with the default screen sharing in gnome13:46
meiand not using rdp13:46
derdrittelotuspsychje: It has persisted for at least three minor kernel upgrades, I am not sure about earlier kernels.13:47
derdritteI also use to proprietary nvidia driver, if I remember correctly when I first noticed the issue I tried a free one too, which didn't change anything.13:48
derdritteThis issue might be related to the shutdown-option from the action menu sometimes not working the first time, sometimes when I retry giving operation pending errors. First I thought it was a config issue, I then essentially wiped my home-folder and it persisted through that too.13:49
derdritteMaybe it would be better to do this in a post on the board, and dumping some debug stuff there?13:50
lotuspsychjederdritte: well, we currently notice a lot of 5.11 bugs and also nvidia 470 issues, perhaps share your dmesg with the volunteers to take a closer look of your issue?13:50
derdritteI guess I will try another clean reinstall without the nvidia drivers first, thanks.13:52
lotuspsychjederdritte: you dont really need a clean install to solve ubuntu issues13:53
jsmoothMy audio is muted, brought up audio mixer and it is trying to establish connection tp PulseAudio, but doesn't appear to actually do it13:54
derdrittelotuspsychje: I held that assumption, alas, I am having 5 different issues, been looking for solutions for months, have already reinstalled, disabled and removed a lot of things and nothing seems to help, technically speaking including the reinstall.13:56
derdritteThe xfce-panel also keeps messing up regularly13:58
derdritteAnyway, thanks for the chat.13:58
TJ-derdritte: are you using multiple monitors?13:59
derdritteTJ-: Indeed13:59
TJ-derdritte: I use xubuntu - there's a common problem where the locker doesn't use the primary monitor; so if the secondary is switched off the lock display never shows (seems to depend on which monitor had focus (or mouse) when locking)14:01
jsmoothIs it possible to restart Pulse Audio system without rebooting machine14:01
jsmooth?14:01
TJ-jsmooth: it's a user process so yes "systemctl --user restart pulseaudio"14:02
derdritteTJ-: Thank you, but I there is no locker, after I switch terminal back and forth it just comes back. I removed all screensavers and locks to make sure it was nothing like that (it's my home PC I am okay with the security here).14:02
TJ-derdritte: then it is likely a DPMS (Display Power Management System) issue14:03
TJ-derdritte: do you see any sign of backlight when trying to 'resume'14:03
derdritteTJ-: The screens are on though, you can seen the backlight14:03
TJ-derdritte: snap :)14:03
derdritteIt is seriously messing with me.14:03
derdritteI use xfce, so I do not need a lot of fancy stuff from my desktop environment, but this is happening on a modern OS, properly updated, hopefully properly configured :/14:05
lotuspsychjederdritte: can we see your dmesg in a paste plz?14:06
jsmoothThis cannot be good: Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory14:06
jsmoothTht's weird. It's been working fine and suddenly I notice it doesn't work.14:07
derdrittehttps://pastebin.com/db1pUfFz14:07
derdritteI checked earlier, the NVRM issues are new, the wake-up thing start before that showed up.14:08
TJ-jsmooth: check the log "journalctl --user -u pulseaudio.service"14:10
derdritteThis dmesg actually contains an instance of the computer waking (from sleep, I think) and the issue presented again.14:10
TJ-derdritte: the suspend/resume issue is likely related to ACPI bugs in the system's firmware14:10
derdritteTJ-: Is there something I can to about that?14:11
jsmoothApr 18 11:57:12 slowlyrapid pulseaudio[9226]: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)14:11
TJ-derdritte: well this seems pretty clear: "NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 470.63.01, but this kernel module has the version 470.57.02"14:12
derdritteTJ-: I already addressed this, the issue predates this more recent error (of which I see no symptoms)14:12
lotuspsychjederdritte: and a few firmware acpi bugs too14:13
TJ-derdritte: "Firmware Bug]: ACPI MWAIT C-state 0x0 not supported by HW (0x0)"14:14
lotuspsychjederdritte: did you fix the 470 driver or go a version lower or so?14:14
derdrittelotuspsychje: When it first happened I went to a 460 one, didn't change anything, then I removed the driver altogether, worse performance, same issue.14:15
TJ-derdritte: it may help to see a complete system log from about 3 minutes before that last suspend14:15
lotuspsychjehmm14:15
derdritteTJ-: Are we talking syslog or some journal-related stuff?14:17
TJ-derdritte: also this and the following 4 lines indicate other issues "nvidia-gpu 0000:0a:00.3: i2c timeout error e0000000"14:18
derdritteTJ-: I read up on that, apparently it is related to USB-issues, but can be ignored14:18
TJ-derdritte: if you know, for example, that the last suspend was 30 minutes ago (exactly) you could do "journalctl --since="35 minutes ago" --until="25 minutes ago" "14:19
derdritteThe mainboard is getting a bit dated, but the BIOS there is up to date, as far as I know.14:19
TJ-derdritte: an i2c error for nvidia means it isn't able to talk to the GPU hardware, and i2c is usually used to control the outputs14:19
derdritteAlso you guys are essentially bringing up random issues, I am not sure any of that is related to me not getting my terminal back when I wake from suspend.14:20
TJ-derdritte: suspend is a hardware/firmware operation; all these issues are likely related14:21
TJ-derdritte: and for your info, some of us have been dealing with these issues at a developer level for  more than 15 years14:21
Razvawhat is Ubuntu's alternative to RDC?14:23
Razva(RDP)14:23
derdritteJournal from before the suspend: https://pastebin.com/PzbZguCH14:27
TJ-derdritte: a discworld fan?14:28
derdritteTJ-: It's true.14:28
derdritteObviously I have little to no understanding about any of these issues, I tried to identify and research anything that came up, but hunting random log-messages in the vain hope it might be connected to my issue didn't seem productive.14:31
TJ-derdritte: how about the log from resume? that's likely where any big clues will be, if any14:34
derdritteFor the i2c issue I tried this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1278399/dual-system-ubuntu-20-04nvidia-gpu-i2c-timeout-error-ucsi-ccg-i2c-transfer (method 2), but the message persisted (no idea why).14:34
TJ-derdritte: you added "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_i2c-nvidia-gpu.conf" with "blacklist i2c_nvidia_gpu" in?14:38
derdritteYes, although I reinstalled since, so it is not there anymore.14:38
derdritteThis is the resume: https://pastebin.com/s0NNzRAn14:39
derdritteI cut it off relatively closely, because some tasks and other stuff are triggered on the wake that have semi-personal stuff in them.14:40
iomari891greetings, We have install 20.04 on all our servers. then did the usual update/upgrade. Now our servers boot to a gui and if there is no activity they sleep. What is going on14:42
ElliriaHey there, does anyone have a link to a good page that does sort of a round-up of all the different ways one can add external software to Ubuntu (like snaps, .deb files, PPAs, etc.)?14:46
ElliriaI've been searching on Google, but am going down a whole lot of related rabbit holes without finding one page with all of it.14:46
TJ-derdritte: those ACPI Firmware C-state issues are suspect; if the firmware setup/config allows it, disable Global C-states.14:49
derdritteTJ-: Is that something I most likely would have to do in the bios?14:49
TJ-derdritte: that is what I'm referring to; the firmware setup accessible at power-on14:50
derdritteSure, I can give that a shot14:50
derdritteI have also readded the i2c-thing to the blacklist14:52
TJ-derdritte: always best since sometimes multiple 'small' issues can add up to larger issues, so you have to play whack-a-mole14:52
TJ-derdritte: also, may not help, but worth trying: https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html14:53
derdritteTJ-: I added that too, for good measure. I will do a (or some) reboot and see if I can disable the global C-states there. Since the weird behaviour only happens after I sleep the computer a while (I do not actually know how long :/), I can only confirm if any of this helped tomorrow.14:56
derdritteUnless you have a way of inducing this.14:59
=== sig_9 is now known as bebop
TJ-derdritte: it's almost certainly an ACPI issue15:06
derdritteThanks for the suggestions, I'll see how it goes.15:13
lotuspsychjederdritte: maybe worth a check too, see if your mobo has firmware updates15:15
derdrittelotuspsychje: Yeah, I checked a while ago, I'll have another look. The mobo is relatively old now, on of the first AM3 ones.15:16
TJ-just a note, the C-state issue is most likely an actual CPU bug; there are quite a few reports against some older AMD Ryzen based CPUs15:17
derdritteVery possible, I have an 1700x15:17

simon_ghost_rilehello everyone ghost this side15:44
xelliehello15:45
xellieI'm having trouble installing ubuntu on an external hard drive15:45
xellieI followed these steps: https://www.58bits.com/comment/110415:46
simon_ghost_rilemy dear friend xellie15:46
hypocrite:))15:46
simon_ghost_rilei believe this problem may have occured due to fact that ubuntu is not able to install itself on drives connected indirectly to it , like as in through usb ports instead of PCI ports of the motherboard15:47
scoopexmei: linux provides 3 different types of cut&paste - typically the "selection" and the "clippboard" is used. selection: mark with mouse and paste with middle mouse button(shift+insert). clipboard: menu copy/menu insert (STRG+c, STRG+v). i typically use a clipboard manager  and configure it to sysnc these buffers....15:47
simon_ghost_rilebecause the same had ocured with me too when i tried installing mint linux on external hdd15:48
simon_ghost_rileso instead of doing that you use a simpler and easier way which wont require much hassle15:49
xelliethis is the first time i've heard about this15:49
simon_ghost_rileAND that is to configure the ubuntu when it is being flashed to external usb or hdd as a persistent storage15:50
simon_ghost_rilewhich can be done via bootable usb creating software such as rufus15:50
simon_ghost_rileand that is not all , you can do this with any linux image you want as long as it supports both live images and persistent storage configurations[which is most likely it will]15:52
pasizhttps://www.fosslinux.com/10212/how-to-install-a-complete-ubuntu-on-a-usb-flash-drive.htm15:52
cbreaksimon_ghost_rile: what I did to install ubuntu was: I installed it regularly on a zpool via the gui installer15:52
pasizor just install complete os on usb15:52
cbreakI zfs sent all the datasets to my mac via ssh15:52
cbreakI then created a new pool with encryption, and zfs received the whole install again from my mac via ssh (while being booted in the live cd mode on the usb stick)15:53
cbreak-> encrypted zfs boot on ubuntu15:53
cbreakI think I could have done that on any storage medium, whether attached via pci/nvme, sata/ahci, or usb15:53
simon_ghost_rilebut my man that is a bit of hassle when you dont want to use the command line15:53
cbreakit ... is command line heavay, indeed.15:54
cbreakbut flexible15:54
cbreakand I like that it was kind of like a bare-metal restore of zfs-send backed up data15:54
simon_ghost_rilebut also not applicable when you want to create bootable usb  via windows15:55
cbreakthere's probably something like etcher for windows too15:55
simon_ghost_rilebut it does not have any option for persistent storage15:55
simon_ghost_rilewhile i have tried configuring persistence storage of many images some of them are exceptions such as15:57
simon_ghost_rileany debian based image E.G. ubuntu, linux mint , kubuntu , kali , parrot os , etc. can be easily configured for a persitence storage even on sd card which is applicable only when you have a port in which you can insert a sd card directly wothout the need of an adapter15:59
simon_ghost_rilebut there are some exceptions such as fedora  or i believe any redhat based distri which creates a persistence storage as a separate partition instead of the using the home/root one16:01

cappicardGood afternoon. I'm attempting to use ssh-copy-id against a focal jail. However, ssh keeps prompting for the password even though i've already used ssh-copy-id beforehand.21:42
pycurious1on an already installed ubuntu server, how can i encrypt the FS?21:50
cbreakpycurious1: the boot FS?21:52
pycurious1cbreak: After install - if i want to encrypt the file system selectively - for example /home/user- do you know how i can do that?22:01
cbreakyou could with zfs22:16
cbreakbut you probably don't use that22:16

FreeBDSMhi. I despise snap distribution, I'm on ubuntu 18.04 and would like to have an android emulator. Does anyone know any suitable options?22:53
FreeBDSMturns out that most popular solutions (bluestacks, noxplayer) are available only for windows and mac, but not for linux22:54
FreeBDSMand looks like the only viable solution is android studio which is distributed only via phony snap packages (bleh)22:54
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: Maybe anbox >> "Android in a box: found too android-libart .22:58
cbreakwebchat13: check out "man 3 mktemp"23:03
FreeBDSMBashing-om: https://docs.anbox.io/userguide/install.html To install Anbox your system need to supportĀ snaps.23:08
FreeBDSMthat crap is like corona23:08
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: Same here I find no fault with the .deb packaging system for my use cases. No use yet for snaps.23:12
FreeBDSMBashing-om: this is all just saddens me, especially that today I found out win11 will support installation of android apps natively (right from .apk files) and that there's WSLg. Windows again get so much ahead :(23:15
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: From a quick look ' apt search android ' - appears Windows has notning on linux. Lots of support in ubuntu, but will take some know how that I do not have.23:19
FreeBDSMBashing-om: same. I did read the whole output, even found some interesting packages only to find they are abandoned23:20
FreeBDSM(maybe not abandoned entirely, but last release on their github proj pages is 5-7-10 years ago)23:22
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: Android support: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=android . Just be aware that PPAs are not supported in this channel.23:24
FreeBDSMit all needs improvements... that list is too damn long, it's chaotically organized, there are no 'stars' or 'likes' or 'downloaded x times' or whatever else indication of how popular they are and how users rate them... + they are all go in a flat list: both small dependency packages (like docs or localization or I dunno what else) and 'big' packages bringing the 'core' functionality or something23:28
FreeBDSMand it looks like moderation there is either absent completely or just sucks so hard that it's basically the same as if it was absent23:29
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: Sorry I can not be of greater help for you - Android is not in my realm of experience :(23:30
FreeBDSMBashing-om: yeah, thanks for that link already (I actually forgot to check PPAs), I didn't really expect a solution (but sometimes miracles happen, so it's always worth to at least send a request for smth that you need)23:31
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: Linux is huge and diverse. many times it is not what you know --- but who you know, still.23:34
FreeBDSMit's just is broken because it is supposed to rely heavily on community, but due to no delegation of power - communities like ubuntu PPAs are just not capable to become something highly usable23:36
FreeBDSMthey remain slightly usable23:36
FreeBDSMit is usable & useful only if you know exactly what you are looking for and thus PPA is just a common place / semi-central hosting for the packages23:37
FreeBDSMbut you can't just come to it like to a hardware store to just look for anything interesting23:37
FreeBDSMbecause that place is more like a dump, where 99% is trash, but 0.1% may be pure gold, but good luck finding it23:38
FreeBDSMhttps://launchpad.net/~aelmahmoudy/+archive/ubuntu/ppa the hell is this? it needs to be removed.23:38
FreeBDSMstale ppas should be marked as stale23:39
FreeBDSMIMO, someone needs to just (at least temporarily) remove crap from PPAs, leaving some notice about what happened and whom to contact to restore specific PPAs if it's valuable for anyone (with explanation of why it is)23:42
FreeBDSMLinus is a dictator, after all. Mostly benevolent, but still a dictator. Dictatorship can be good sometimes; not everything should be lib/dem.23:43
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: We have drifted way from support - you are welcome to join #ubuntu-discuss to continue this worthy conversation.23:47
FreeBDSMBashing-om: true, but it's not like I'm interrupting others23:47
biscuitbutter[m]does anyone here use meson23:48
FreeBDSMwhat's the right package to install virtualization?23:48
FreeBDSMnot virtualbox-based one23:48
FreeBDSMbut libvirt or something, I forgot already23:48
biscuitbutter[m]getting error 'bindr' option must be a subdir of the prefix23:49
biscuitbutter[m]*'bindir'23:49
FreeBDSMah, virt-manager!23:50
biscuitbutter[m]oh nvm i just changed the 'bindir' and that fixed it23:51
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: Too is lxc: ' apt show lxc-utils '.23:54
FreeBDSMBashing-om: that is already supported by virt-manager23:56
Bashing-omFreeBDSM: \o/23:57
FreeBDSMafaiu, virt-manager is the best solution for now (well, with virtualbox being a quite on-par rival)23:57
FreeBDSMand, honestly, I had never used lxc23:58
FreeBDSMit's either VMs for me, or docker containers23:59
