HashI am on Ubuntu with some KDE packages I use05:30
HashI use Spectacle to take snapshots/screenshots and upload to imgur, however, it doesn't give you the imgur delete link for that image. It's a known bug in the KDE program filed online. I am wondering, do you guys know of a program like spectacle, who can also upload to imgur but give you the delete link as well05:30

klausfiendhi there, i have recently started RnD on adopting the new Ubuntu 20 autoinstall tooling with our provisioning process, and I have a question about boot options … searched exhaustively but found nothing … basically, a lot of our machines have multiple connected interfaces, and the initrd process sends DHCPDISCOVER packets on all connected interfaces, and i want to not do that … i.e., i want it to only send a DHCP request on a spec06:35
klausfiendic interface that's specified in the "interface=<ifname>" boot option, but that doesn't seem to work.06:35
klausfiendcan someone point me in the right direction to force the bootstrap process to limit DHCP requests to a specific interface (via MAC, via logical name, etc. is fine, i just want to make sure the wrong interface doesn't try to bootstrap)06:35

krishnaHi everyone, I am new here (IRC) and have been a user of Arch Linux for some time now, I am trying to replicate the minimalism that comes with Arch in Ubuntu also, is there some way of doing so. Will the server installs work ??12:43
TJ-BinarySavior: those are very likely to be causing this; they look quite severe12:43
TJ-krishna: yes12:43
krishnaIs there is a guide on how to setup a desktop from an ubuntu server install12:44
TJ-krishna: relatively simply - install the *-desktop package of the desktop environment you prefer and it depends on everything required.12:45
TJ-krishna: but if you're going to do that, that's identical to a 'desktop' install12:45
seveneverhow do you goto end of a word when editing command in zsh? alt-f moves the cursor to the first char of next word, what i want is move the cursor to the first space after current word.12:46
ioriakrishna, the ubuntu installer  already has an 'minimal' option12:46
TJ-krishna: you can influence it to some extent manually. Many packages have a light-weight dependency on others called "Recommends:" - non-essential but useful. You can do "apt install --no-install-recommends <some-package>" and it won't pull in the recommends.12:46
krishnaThanks TJ , unfortunately I am too new to IRC so I donot know how to reply to your message in the way you guys do, could you help on that, Like I cant mention your username in my reply like you people can12:47
krishnaIs there an irc command for that12:47
krishna\12:47
TJ-krishna: that is helpful when installing a top-level desktop package since Recommends applies to every package it pulls in, and can pull in many more packages than you intend12:47
ioriakrishna, https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-18-04-minimal-install-option12:47
TJ-krishna: in most IRC clients type a few characters of the nickname and press Tab to complete12:47
ThinkT510krishna: simply mentioning the name highlihts them12:48
krishnaOh okay TJ- Is this correct12:48
krishnaioria, did that work??12:48
ioriakrishna, what you mean ?12:49
krishnaioria, was your name properly mentioned in my message I am trying to learn IRC that is why12:50
ioriakrishna, sure12:50
TJ-krishna: yes, you've got it12:50
TJ-krishna: although sometimes you have to watch carefully in case your tab-complete matches another nickname than the one you intended.12:51
krishnaThanks TJ- and ioria I will keep your tips in mind during an ubuntu install and also in irc thanks !!12:51

Sven_vBgood morning :) every morning, my ubuntu focal notebook loses the IPv4 address on its wifi connection, and thus, connectivity. NetworkManager seems to not detect this, it thinks the connection is still up and running, according to "nmcli c". Adding back the IPv4 address, or reloading the static IP config with "nmcli c up id wifi200" fixes it. is there a way to run this automatically whenever a network interface connected to wifi200 (usually wlp2s013:33
Sven_vBor wlx…) becomes devoid of IPv4 addresses?13:33
Sven_vBideally event-based. I could of course make a cron job that checks every minute.13:35
=== Guest43 is now known as twocarlo_
Guest17hi13:41
Guest17hello13:42
Guest17ok bye13:42
alkisgSven_vB: the best thing would be to solve the issue, not to workaround it. What happens in the morning, a dhcp lease expires and it supposed to be renewed? What's the output of `ip a` before the problem happens? What does `journalctl -u NetworkManager` say? Etc13:50
Sven_vBsince the wifi200 connection is set up for static IP, I hope that NetworkManager would ignore any DHCP stuff.13:54
Sven_vBI only captured the ifconfig output from before fixing it, it looked perfectly normal except the IPv4 address was missing.13:55
krishnaguys what in your opinion is an irc app that works great on android13:55
jeremy31irccloud13:55
krishnajeremy31, is it on fdroid or playstore13:56
alkisgSven_vB: try to capture it (1) before the problem happens, (2) when the problem happens, (3) when it's fixed13:56
alkisgAnd also the journalctl messages13:56
jeremy31krishna: /join #ubuntu-offtopic13:57
krishnajeremy31, cool13:57
jeremy31Sven_vB: where are you setting the address to static?  Network Manager or in the wifi router?13:58
Sven_vBjeremy31, in the NetworkManager config14:00
jeremy31Sven_vB: have you rebooted the router lately14:02
TJ-Sven_vB: does "journalctl -u NetworkManager" give indications as to why?14:03
Sven_vBjeremy31, no, not in the last 60 days. however I do remember that the problem only occurrs if the wifi router had been up for longer than a week.14:04
twocarlo_test14:05
twocarlo_j #ssl14:06
meiseems like that changing computer name in settings does not affect /etc/hosts but only /etc/hostname14:37
Sven_vBbetween a time where network was still working, and the time when I fixed it to work again, these were the only journalctl messages from NetworkManager (I added spaces to align words): http://paste.debian.net/plainh/344977b614:40
Sven_vBit seems like the wifi link layer was reconnected but NM forgot to configure IP after that.14:41
ioriamei, if you reaaly want a Gui for that, you can use gnome-network-admin14:41
Sven_vBmei, ideally you should add the new name to /etc/hosts before changing the name, and remove the old name only after.14:42
meimhm thank you, i was just noticing that chaing the name by settings seems a bit incomplete14:43
Sven_vBmei, it's not even necessary to have the local machine's name in /etc/hosts though. for example, the new name might be registered in DNS.14:45
BinarySavior lotuspsychje my problem with purging nvidia was that i was currently in a directory that contained .deb package that matched the nvidia* string14:52

Sven_vBI'd like to restart lightdm on Ubuntu focal, but I'd like one screen (terminal multiplexer) to survive. it had been started from within that lightdm session though. is there a way to tell systemd to extract it?16:18

ramblebambleSven_vB that is a rather unusal request. Instinctively I would say not possible, because of hierarchy pstree etc. BUT I did some research, apparently you can move a process to a new session using setsid on the cli. The way I understand it is that sessions consists of one or more processgroups which in turn have one or more processes. There can be only one leader and the currently active process16:33
ramblebamblegroup will see signals sent to the session16:33
Sven_vBramblebamble, does it mean I would have had to run screen with setsid at the time I started the screen session?16:34
ramblebambleNOW, I have no clue what will happen if you give a process in a processgroup a new session different from the process groups controling session, if setsid is for that(?) but If I were wou you might wanna check up on that16:34
Sven_vBramblebamble, I have a mostly-identical system where I can test any approach.16:35
ramblebamblegood point you have to call setsid at invocation time, so that does appear to be possible16:35
Sven_vBit seems that I'm in luck and my screen launch script already uses setsid.16:38
Sven_vBhow do I verify it?16:38
ramblebambleSven_vB, I would go with /proc/<processid>/sessionid16:40
Sven_vB"ps o user,pid,ppid,pgid,sid,args -C screen" reports, amongst others, "sven       58344   58343   58344   58344 SCREEN -U -O -h 0" and afair the uppercaseness of SCREEN means this is the process that manages the terminals. I'll verify by disconnecting the terminals and checking what survives.16:40
Sven_vByes, the other (lowercase) "screen"s have disappeared from ps, and the SCREEN's ppid changed to 1.16:42
ramblebamblethat means the child-process got adopted by init :)16:43
TJ-Sven_vB: you said you want a terminal multiplexer to survive? you mean 'screen' or 'tmux' ?16:46
Sven_vBTJ-, screen16:46
Sven_vBI launch it via lightdm autostart, which seems a bad idea when I want to restart lightdm16:47
TJ-hmmm, not used 'screen' a lot recently, but with 'tmux' I frequently entirely log-out and the tmux server remains (in the user slice aka cgroup)16:50
Sven_vBI think I need to move its process group to another systemd session16:50
Sven_vBTJ-, indeed maybe the pgid change to 1 does the trick. I'll try.16:51
Sven_vBnope, it died.16:52
Sven_vBwhat part of system manages user sessions?16:53
Sven_vB*systemd16:53
ramblebambleSven_vB look at "man systemd" look for --user, so putting a service-file into .config/systemd/user will let SystemD know that there is a user-service, however the longevity of a process in the user-slice is controlled by loginctl controlling systemd-logind it has the option "enable-linger"17:07
ramblebamblesorry you have lost your session17:07
Sven_vByeah I could request from logind to allow linger for the entire user. however I'd prefer to only have that one screen survive. and it should be possible, because user sven has another session running on tty1. there has to be a way to move that process groub to that session.,17:15
Sven_vBno problem, the killed screen was just on the test system17:15
Sven_vBwell, I could probably allow linger and then manually kill all processes that I don't care about. I think highly of systemd though, I expect it to be able to do that reassignment.17:16
ramblebambleSven_vB another possiblity, write system-file or start a scree-session any other way in the background, and connect to it using your user17:22
Sven_vBodd. even when I enabled linger, it did not prevent the screen session from being killed.17:23
Sven_vByeah the proper way would probably be to start it as a systemd service.17:23
Sven_vBI guess logind uses the linger setting from the time the session was started.17:24

ubugunHi, I am trying to make bootable live usb with Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. I have tried to simply dd the iso to the usb stick. bios is able to recognize my usb but it doesn't but - black screen with "reboot and select propert boot device...". Is it the proper way to do this with dd? If not can you please provide me an up to date tutorial to prepare19:57
ubugunbootable usb? Please notice I am working on a different linux system. Because of that I need only generic tools (like terminal stuff) to do this and not ubuntu specific tools.19:57
coconutubugun, most easily is to use gnome-disks in my opinion20:00
ubugunI would like to know what steps are necessary to to crate a bootable live usb.20:04
ubugunhere is also something about dd https://vitux.com/how-to-create-a-bootable-usb-stick-from-the-ubuntu-terminal/20:06
ubugun"of=/dev/sdb1" is it right? or maybe "sdb" instead of "sdb1"? sdb1 point to a partion. why do I need to select a partition in case of dd?20:08
EriC^^reading20:11
EriC^^ubugun: that article seems wrong, you are supposed to use the disk itself and not a partition, e.g /dev/sdb20:11
EriC^^the iso itself has a partition table and everything20:12
ubugundd bs=4M if=ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdf1 conv=fdatasync status=progress - this was my first attempt. I am dding without "1" now. I hope it will be the solution.20:12
EriC^^ubugun: looks good20:15
ubugunyeah. it looks good.  so, the dd command is suifficient. you don't need to create efi/grub etc by yourself. and the tutorials using "sdb1" are stupid ;)20:18
ubugunthx20:19
coconutubugun, terminal with dd or cp works, but you'll end up with a non-readable filesystem on it, so looking on the stick with your eyes will not show files. It will boot however, so if that is your only goal, then fine...20:25
