=== scoobydoo_ is now known as scoobydoo === xv8 is now known as XV8 [00:33] I'm trying to identify a good gigabit wifi usb adapter for my machine running ubuntu. [00:33] I bought two online, but one turned out to be usb 2.0 (misleading), and the other seems to require custom drivers, blech [00:33] ew :( [00:34] is there a usb gigabit wifi adapter that works plug and play? [00:34] someone previously linked me to a supported hardware site here, which I thought I chose this from. [00:35] I'd also be interested. My current 802.11n model is adequate, but having to use the custom driver installation every time is a pain [00:36] Hi all! Anyone knows howto manually install flatpak on an offline computer running ubuntu [00:36] ooft, good question [00:37] Just out of curiosity: is it offline for any particular reason? [00:37] Hi! I'm trying to update my ubuntu focal, but apt found package conflicts that it cannot resolve: http://paste.debian.net/plainh/236b9f16 what do I do? [00:37] Ya it is. [00:38] would it help to somehow skip updating wine? [00:38] do an "apt-get clean" [00:38] oh good idea [00:39] do an "apt --fix-broken install [00:39] TheRealSoundWave: Maybe you can start by adding the flatpak repo, and download it for offline installation using keryx? [00:39] Not 100% sure that's possible, but probably a start [00:40] I will try with apt-offline, but I have difficulties downloading the dependencies that goes with it [00:40] I wanted to try keryx, but it does not seem to be actively maintained [00:41] TheRealSoundWave, what is flatpak? [00:41] flatpak is like snap [00:42] The 'apt show' command should help you identify which dependencies you also need to download [00:42] Ahh, that's a shame about keryx. Seemed quite useful [00:43] TheRealSoundWave: 'apt-rdepends flatpak' may be handy [00:45] interesting AlrightTea, thankx [00:46] No problem, hope it helps! [00:49] The thing is, I can download the flatpak.deb, but I would need to know ALL the dependencies needed/unmet on the offline machine, or ı would need to manually check each depency on the offline machine [00:50] **check for [00:51] !info thermald [00:51] thermald (2.4.3-1ubuntu2, hirsute): Thermal monitoring and controlling daemon. In component main, is optional. Built by thermald. Size 187 kB / 567 kB. (Only available for i386, amd64.) [00:52] info thermald [00:56] Hmm. If you do a 'sudo dpkg -i flatpak.deb' on the offline machine, will it actually list which dependencies you're lacking on that pc? [00:57] Ya indeed, but I dont think it lists all of the dependencies. Hmmm I'm not sure. [00:59] But thatkx, AlrightTea and gave me tools and infos. So I will continue my investigations and attemps. [00:59] Apparently you can use 'apt-cache depends package-name' as well [00:59] No problem, hope it works out [01:01] Cool [01:27] I just installed thermald and it reports "thermald[41293]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/thermald/thermal-conf.xml"", should I be worried? === mattchis96 is now known as mattchis9 [01:33] Sven_vB: I think that means you just need to configure it [01:55] When I right click the wifi icon in ubuntu and try to turn off one of the wifi interfaces [01:55] they are apparently both turned off [01:55] also the new one doesn't seem to connect to anything [02:09] cluelessperson i've seen this behavior in other debian based distros [02:09] cluelessperson do you know how to enable/disable interfaces via cmd line? [02:10] if you absolutely REQUIRE a wifi interface disabled, and disconnecting from an AP isnt working (it simply reconnects) you could consider going ifdown on the config (ex ifdown wlan0) [02:10] Guest23, nmcli seems to switch things globally [02:10] on the config = on the interface [02:11] dunno why i typed that [02:11] not familiar with nmcli that appears to be a gnome thing i use kde and xfce [02:11] try just using ifconfig though [02:11] if its still supported in ubuntu [02:11] i maybe giving outdated advice her [02:12] if so, my apologies === guiverc2 is now known as guiverc [02:29] Hi, I am on Xubuntu 21.04 and users-admin GUI refuses to delete freshly created user, even there are no processes present by that user, it says : please ensure user is logged out. And it is logged out. [02:30] Could it have something to do with 2FA used on other users? this user have not been set up with 2FA, just created, logged in, logged out and fails to delete user. === XV8 is now known as xv8 [02:33] userdel -r does the work.. [03:02] sarnold, thanks [03:04] so I read in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/thermald.8.html I should download dptfxtract from the given website, and I wonder, does Ubuntu have some means of doing that automatically? surely the desktop installer wouldn't expect that of average users. [03:05] do I even need thermald to keep my CPUs at reasonable temperatures? do we have an easier mechanism for that? [03:07] Sven_vB: most people don't run thermald; I understand it's very useful for eg the canonical devices team to make sure that computers are energy star compliant when they are sold as pre-installed systems [03:08] well, I do have the impression that my focal notebooks run a lot hotter than they used with trusty. [03:12] the hottest one doesn't even have CPU temperature in acpi -V, that might be the reason. [03:18] Sven_vB: I wouldn't be shocked if not everything is visible to acpi [03:18] Sven_vB: try grep . /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.*/hwmon/hwmon*/temp* [03:19] Sven_vB: that might be intel-specific.. [03:26] Sven_vB: Maybe 2 : ' cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp ' . [04:02] sarnold, No such file or directory [04:04] my /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp says "46000" === genii is now known as genii-core === xv8 is now known as XV8 [05:46] I am on FocalFossa 20.04.3 LTS and everytime at boot my LivePatch shield shows error. I had to visit it settings and switch it off and sign out and sign in again to make it green. [05:51] hi all im installing ubuntu 20.04.3 arm on an rpi via vmware esxi and my disk is a usb flash drive so the install is going quite slow. its been about 2-3 hours now and im wondering if it should be done by now? is there any way i can check from ssh to "query" the progress of the install? its just stuck at "acquiring and extracting image from [05:51] cp:////media/filesystem" where its been for hours now... the "/" is still spinning around so i know its not frozen [05:52] but i do have a ssh session up and wondering if theres anything that can be done to check for specific dirs or files as an indicator of progress/completion or simply that it is still making progress? [05:52] perhaps check df every 30 minutes or so to make sure disk space is being filled? [05:57] hey everyone...on trying to access my external hardisks as backups; I was playing around with dmsetup and lvm renaming and managed to screw up my hard disk and I can't boot into my encrypted drive; I posted here; wondering if someone can please help me as I've spent the last couple of days and going nowhere atm: [05:57] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1363627/initramfs-unable-to-boot-into-encrypted-hardisk [05:57] more than happy to pay for some live assistance if someone is free :( [05:59] best option is to take it to any data recovery company [05:59] yes they will charge you... [05:59] what does dmesg output when you plug in your external? just for grins. sounds like you've fubard it pretty good tho [05:59] I can access the data if I mount it and I can copy files across... I want to save the trouble of doing that by fixing the boot.. Its a config issue that I messed up [06:00] oh well shit cut your losses and copy your data [06:00] then format that drive how you like then copy it back [06:00] thats really the nuclear option [06:01] thats the last resort... I'm guessing someone who understands Luks/encryption can fix this in a jiffy [06:01] I just have no idea what im doing here [06:01] its not that easy [06:01] i've fubard a luks encrypted drive before as well its not hard [06:01] My Live patch always shows error....how can I fix it [06:02] you delete any part of that partition scheme or volume manager or anything and its all encrypted man... [06:02] you have the nuclear option at your finger tips you should really go that route [06:03] man this arm install is never gonna finish >_< [06:03] I didnt delete anything; I just renamed stuff I think thats why its inaccessible; have you looked at the post I made? [06:05] no im busy with my own issues, im about to log off as well, i was just trying to give some advice since you already have the files at fingers reach you should really be backing them up and not worrying about the luks disk, that only takes a few minutes to redo... you could end up in a worse position wihtout any access to your files whatsoever and [06:05] be in an worse position than you are now if you go messing with it [06:10] well if anyone can help me in the next hour for a hundred bucks id be down to try [06:31] helplessnoob: copy the data and re-install. probably be done faster than finding help with your issue. Then don't repeat what you did to mess it up [06:40] Hey guys, do I need "/etc/cloud"-directory on VM after installation has been done? [06:41] It seems to me that cloud-init is trying to do something after rebooting, but I don. [06:41] *dont't know about it enough. [07:38] [08:37:46] Is it too much to ask that the properties of the OS would also show the kernel version? [07:44] marcoagpinto: file a wishlist bug [07:44] ducasse: Great idea [07:44] let me do it [07:46] talk to lotus, he can help you get it marked as a wishlist item [07:46] ahhhh [07:46] lotuspsychje: are you there? [07:47] I have logged in in LaunchPad, but I can't remember the steps [07:50] filing a new bug through the web ui is a bit fiddly, they want you to use ubuntu-bug [07:51] do that and file it against the relevant package, even though it's not a real problem [07:51] ahhhhhhh [07:52] lotus won't be here yet, he's at work for a couple more hours [07:54] Buaaaaaaaaaa... Launchpad is so hard to use [07:54] I pressed the bugs option and it opened a help page [07:55] but all links there point to help documents [07:55] did you use ubuntu-bug? [07:55] ubuntu-bug?

[08:03] ohhhh.. I placed two spaces in the subject :( [08:04] looks good, make a note of the bug id [08:04] i can talk to lotus for you [08:04] thanks, ducasse [08:04] :) [08:05] the kernel version is an important piece of information [08:05] :) [08:05] so that we can tell if we have the latest or so [08:05] i agree, it should be included [08:06] this might be an upstream issue, but let's try === Etua1 is now known as Etua === XV8 is now known as xv8 [10:07] how do I see what files the package contains?: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libwebkitgtk-1.0-0&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=bionic§ion=all [10:07] or does it just contain one file? [10:16] I'm not sure if this is what you're asking hajonnes, but you can view the dependencies here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 [10:16] And the file list here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/i386/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0/filelist [10:18] AlrightTea, thanks for that. is there an easy way to search for the file list, I did not find any link in the package description. [10:18] I was looking for the file list, your second post. [10:19] AlrightTea, also are you sure that it is the right file list since I'm on x64 not i386? [10:20] Ahh! One second. [10:20] Ok if you click the name of the package, and that takes you to the dependencies screen. Scroll to the bottom, and click 'amd64' [10:21] That will then provide the 'list of files' [10:21] https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0/filelist [10:21] AlrightTea, ok nice. [10:23] AlrightTea, I understand now. i have to press bionic at the end of the page in my original link to get further infromation. thanks for your help! :) [10:24] Yup, that's it!

[11:54] tarzeau_: doesn't work [11:55] tarzeau_: or, how do you propose for that to work? [11:55] tarzeau_: we want to be navigating this in the GUI [11:55] does it work in a terminal? xdg-open your.desktop ? [11:56] if so, you can make an association of the filetype to be opened with xdg-open and not $EDITOR [12:01] tarzeau_: xdg-open just opens the text editor again [12:03] can you post an url to your .desktop file? [12:03] tarzeau_: it's just a copy of the firefox launcher [12:03] tarzeau_: you should have the same under /usr/share/applications/ [12:03] that is what a lot of people claimed [12:04] can you right click the desktop file? do you have it on your dock? [12:04] in which file manager do you double click it and it launches an editor? [12:10] tarzeau_: i guess it's nautilus [12:22] heh, i'm being dumb, in some applications my keyboard map is wrong terminal and firefox have it right, but VS code and hexchat have it wrong, and i'm at a loss for how to make them all match and be correct [12:22] caitlin_: us american keyboard (or what you have)? and what keyboard map? [12:24] I'd like to know if there is a way to change keyboard layout toggler from Super+Space to Alt+Shift through dconf-editor on Ubuntu 20.04 [12:24] tarzeau_, it's a dell xps 13 british keyboard with a GPB sign on shift+3 and a # near the carriage return.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [12:59] koffel: Ubuntu 16.04 is no longer supported. You should upgrade to 20.04 [12:59] iknow it is end of life [12:59] koffel, good, then you know you have no support anymore [12:59] first i wanta make sure this nic is working [13:00] koffel: it will more than likely work with 20.04 [13:00] koffel: you can try to boot with a live cd/usb to try it [13:00] so i guess i am on my own now [13:02] lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net # would show what driver in use [13:45] Aargh. Trying to wipe my malfunctioning Ubuntu/Windows dual boot for return to the seller, I've ended up with a machine that just boots into grub and stops there. Can't see how to get it booting Windows again. Any pointers? [13:46] boot windows iso, repair === westor is now known as Guest6337 [13:50] Thanks oerheks. Not even sure how to get grub to use the sdcard port that I would put the OS on. Have just been trying to get it to do an Ubuntu rescue boot to repair grub enough to get into Windows. [13:52] (I'm on a machine that only has USB C and SDCARD ports, so USB pen drives can't be plugged straight in) [13:55] rob, you cannot press a key to get sd card boot option? [13:56] rob: if it came with Windows, is there not a Windows Recovery entry in the firmware menu? [13:59] I can't even get into BIOS right now, and grub just gives me the command line interface; not the menu. [14:01] rob, there is not key press option while computer starts the first few seconds? === Guest6337 is now known as westor [14:08] Actually, I can get into BIOS with an F2 at boot, but whichever boot option I choose (Ubuntu, UEFI PC SN30 etc, or Windows Boot Manager), I just get a grub prompt/ [14:09] I guess maybe it'll work if I can get a bootable Windows USB with a USB C adapter [14:10] Just working on that... [14:16] rob: in that prompt, type: ls / [14:16] Do you see your partitions etc? [14:20] Hi! What is a way now days to launch a script on network interface up? What is functionality replacement for /etc/network/if-up.d/scripts.sh now days? [14:20] If you're using network-manager, there's /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d === genii-core is now known as genii [14:22] Minimal installation of Ubuntu. It can be Network Manager too. Does it changes an answer? [14:22] Minimal install = deboostrap and so on. [14:23] A plain debootstrap doesn't have network-manager, so that answer won't work. If you do install nm later on, on top of that, then sure it'll work [14:24] alkisg: Thanks, yeah I see the partitions. There's not an obvious msdos one there or suchlike. I did try setting the various partitions as root and booting, but get an "invalid EFI file path" error each time. [14:25] May be question in another form: what should I install in order to have auto-network management? Now I can do dhclient ens0 and network is up, pings ok. However, what a packages should I relay on in order to have network managment for installation with CLI only. [14:26] ubuntu-minimal comes with netplan by default [14:27] Thx! [14:28] so you just configure it via /etc/netplan/ ... examples can be found at the netplan.io website [14:33] does any1 have any experience with inspircd+atheme? Trying to get inspircd to link with atheme but after I add the services to the inspircd config I can no longer start the service [14:36] rob, try configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg, after you set the correct root === stumpwhistle is now known as richdin [14:41] rob: Most probably partitions are on their places. There is bootloader in first aprox 440 bytes of storage. I believe it's Grub now. Win distro bootable media have tools to put back their bootloader and all desired partitions flags. All in all it should have proper bootloader and proper partitions flags. Also EFI partition should be Ok. Partition flags are complex question. They can be restored manually too using Parted. But there are special tools, however [14:41] they will disable Grub and Linux tooling. === richdin is now known as gvool === gvool is now known as richdin === richdin is now known as gvool === gvool is now known as richdin === richdin is now known as Stumpwhistle [15:06] I do not understand `apt search`... `apt search php` gives all kinds of weird packages, like xine-ui... whatever that is.

[20:04] About a year ago, I started having trouble with my trackball on 16.04/ Thinkpad T530. Moved to 20.04/ W530 and the problems remained. Issue has been drag to select. Selection will stop at some random place and I have to retry. Yesterday, the middle mouse button stopped working, but was fine on reboot. [20:04] I've also been using a regular lasermouse. Similar problems with drag/drop. Then a middle click started being read as multiple clicks. [20:05] Could this all be debouncing issues? Other ideas? [20:13] I just bought a brand new ssd to replace an old hard drive that got fried a while back. So there is no OS on the computer I am trying to set up ubuntu on. I downloaded the ubuntu iso file using rufus onto a thumb drive, and then booted off of that on my computer, but when I got to the installation type, there are no options. When I push the "-" it [20:13] says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" but there are no options to fix this. It then gives me an exit code 141. If I continue anyways, it'll take me to the end and give me an "Installation failed" message saying "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so [20:13] that you may investigate the problem or try installing again. " I think it must be due to installing without an existing OS, but I'm not sure how to fix that. Any help is appreciated! [20:15] Combustion: I think I've heard rufus's default way of writing things to usb sticks will mangle the installer; there's a (kinda hidden?) dd mode that should leave the image alone when writing it, that might be better [20:15] Combustion: from a terminal, what does 'lsblk -f' say? [20:18] sarnold: Would you suggest trying rufus again and fixing that mode or maybe trying a different tool to download the iso? matsaman: I don't exactly know if this is what you want, but I had the "try install" running and that command didn't give me anything. [20:19] matsaman I could probably try and access the terminal during the boot process... [20:19] Combustion: probably better to go with matsaman's advice, he's probably much more familiar with the installer than I am [20:19] Combustion: no if 'try install' isn't working you have other problems [20:19] ha [20:20] er, whatever it's called, 'try Ubuntu' [20:20] Well the try Ubuntu worked, so I'm "on an ubuntu interface" [20:21] It's just when I do the install I get errors [20:21] okay, from Try Ubuntu can you open a terminal? [20:21] Yes! [20:21] Combustion: what's the output of 'lsblk -f'? [20:22] Oh, I forgot the space the first time. It gives me a table of sorts with loop0 through loop5, type squash, and some other avail/use info with mountpoints [20:23] i've a gigabyte MB running Ubuntu 20.04. Is there a way to do a bios update from the cli? (I can only ssh to the machine - the video output is broken). [20:24] Combustion: anything that's obviously your ssd? [20:25] pycurious: could use a live DOS OS [20:26] matsaman No not that I can tell. The mountpoints are /rofs, /snap, or /cdrom [20:27] matsaman: booting into dos is not an option - the video driver is broken completely. [20:27] Combustion: okay well that's not a good sign the drive is available [20:27] Combustion: how many internal storage devices should there be? [20:27] I've the X570AOUL.35b - binary file - was wondering if one could write it out from linux and reboot? [20:28] Combustion: most likely you're looking for 'sda' [20:28] Combustion: what's 'cfdisk /dev/sda' show, anything? [20:30] There is a name sda under which there is a vfat type with a UUID of A4F8-3E17 that is on the /cdrom. I'm assuming that's my thumbdrive though cause it says there is 25.8G available [20:30] Combustion: in your shoes, I would try powering down and checking all cable connections to the new drive (both at drive and at motherboard / power supply) [20:30] "There's no such file or directory" for that last command [20:30] Okay, I will do that [20:36] Combustion: good advice [20:40] Combustion, have you tried balena etcher? [20:40] Combustion, it makes Linux bootable usbs, I made my bootable Ubuntu usb stick with it [20:42] @wwwi [20:42] I have not, I'll give that a try if I can't get this one working! [21:55] Hello, I have two servers running ubuntu 18.04 and I'm failing to connect to an nfs share with both. I can seem to mount it using other distros, ubuntu 20.04 included [21:57] The error message I recieve is "failed to get attr -512" === TheRealSoundWave is now known as SoundWave [22:14] how come I have to keep rerunning sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration [22:14] ? [22:19] in fact it seems to not be working at all === pntaylor_ is now known as pntaylor === Guest28 is now known as kkk_____ === XV8 is now known as xv8 === anonimip_ is now known as anonymip === xv8 is now known as XV8 [23:48] Hello, is Ubuntu WSL2 20.04 LTS still supported here? [23:49] i know its a dont ask to ask question but its WSL2 and idk if that counts as support [23:49] !wsl | RevoSucks [23:49] RevoSucks: Windows 10 has a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows it to run Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) userspace programs without porting/recompliation. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows or ##windows. For installation instructions, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide [23:50] you're welcome to ask questions about it, but it's pretty different, depending upon what exactly it is, somewhere else might do better [23:50] network mainly. i dont have internet, it fails to resolve, and im only like 60% sure its a windows HyperV shenanigans issue, 40% its an actual Ubuntu issue [23:51] i dont know where the problem lies nor how to determine such [23:52] tldr pinging google.com fails to resolve to a host, pinging 8.8.8.8 host is unreachable, even doing the known resolv.conf """fix""" doesnt work, nameserver 8.8.8.8 and everything [23:52] and i even turned my VPN off for triaging [23:52] RevoSucks: Wired or WIFI -- and is networking functional in the live image (installer) ? [23:52] the usual approach to debugging resolution is to check /etc/resolv.conf, make sure those ips are reachable with both UDP and TCP; and if it's just 127.0.0.53 (it probably is) then start with 'resolvectl' output to see what's going on there.. [23:53] RevoSucks: one downside to pinging places is that a lot of firewalls block ICMP [23:53] its my home, and the issue was suddenly present last night i didnt change anything at all [23:53] i dont know what happened [23:53] resolvectl -> sd_bus_open_system: No such file or directory [23:53] hmmmm [23:55] RevoSucks: Wired ? Blame the cat - playing with the cat5 cable. change the cable and check for bent pins on the card ? Had that happen to me ! [23:56] RevoSucks: rats. that's where things might be getting funny in a WSL-specific way, I think I've heard wsl doesn't do systemd things well :( [23:56] yeah im still suspecting windows shenanigans === strive is now known as valderen
