[00:45] hello everyone [00:46] as a newbie i noticed that my other linux distro partition is mounted on username/media [00:46] so i have access to my other distro user files [00:47] is it possible to hide those files when i boot on the other distro to avoid information leek [00:52] webchat88: are those other filesystems listed in your /etc/fstab? [00:54] yes [00:54] webchat88: if you add 'noauto' to the options, then they shouldn't be mounted at boot [00:55] ex my other linux partition root is on sda/1 [00:55] now with an other distro im on sda/2 [00:56] ok but someone else can still mount that sda1 and check inside [00:56] right? [00:56] well, that gets a bit complicated.. I don't know exactly how the desktop environment decides what to let users mount [00:57] i just read that [00:57] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/98149/why-can-i-access-all-my-files-without-a-password-when-booting-with-a-chakra-linu [00:57] if you want to protect against a malicious person with a boot disk, then you need to encrypt your filesystems, instead [00:58] it seems that you cannot really secure your partition if anyone have physically access to yout machine [01:33] join #postgresql === genii is now known as genii-core [02:31] I've had this issue with using pcscd libraries with java applications, and where they are looking for the `.so`: https://stackoverflow.com/q/12376257 & https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/898689 [02:31] Launchpad bug 898689 in openjdk-7 (Ubuntu) "OpenJDK does not find libpcsc, fails silently, causing smartcard applications to fail" [Undecided, Fix Released] [02:33] I've been using `-Dsun.security.smartcardio.library=/usr/lib64/libpcsclite.so.1`, that works just fine. But like some answers on that SO question I'd just like to set it permanently, especially since it does seem to be a bug. Where is the correct place to symlink the library, or would it be better to use /etc/profile with _JAVA_OPTIONS ? [02:34] whoops... I actually use "-Dsun.security.smartcardio.library=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1" === callmepk is now known as callmepk[away] [02:37] noarb: it'd probably be worth a bug report [02:37] noarb: this answer seems plausible enough as a workaround https://stackoverflow.com/a/32769334/377270 [02:47] How can I update to the latest version of curl on Ubuntu 18.04? I tried doing "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" but this is still giving me an older version of curl. Is there a special mirror I can add to my sources.list?? [03:14] sarnold: does it matter where I run that? Or should I use an absolute path to make it available to all system users? [03:21] security related problem with ubuntu-bug? [03:48] does that command imply that its run in the homedir and then in the PATH? Reading https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hirsute/man1/ln.1.html a little harder now [03:54] Is there any known issue with booting a efi installed 20.04 system via the ovmf bios? trying to automate an installation via packer, but the bios refuses to boot the installation on the disk [04:10] I tried `sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1 /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so` on my system, that didn't work [04:47] noarb: I don't know, but this might help: strace -fe trace=file your-command-here 2>&1 | grep lipbcsclite [04:47] It will show which files (paths) are searched by your-command that contain that word in its filename [04:49] E.g. run a `strace -fe trace=file ls` to see what I'm talking about...

It waits a bit until I scrolled a certain distance and then scrolls all that. Is there a way to change that? [06:49] beuys, Have you tried the setting of the trackpad ? the scrolling distance and the coasting settings should be able to fix that.... [06:50] ravan: It only happens in Firefox. [06:50] Setting this one to false seems to make things better: mousewheel.system_scroll_override.enabled [06:50] But it still seems to snap to certain positions. I wonder why it doesnt just behave like dragging the scroll bar. [06:52] beuys: If you're feeling adventurous, you can try some of these: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/kojli8/actually_smooth_scrolling_for_firefox_now/ [06:53] Kel: I fiddled with those, but they do not seem to address the issue.

[07:01] cat /proc/loadavg === diskin is now known as Guest7292 === diskin_ is now known as diskin [07:01] 7.16 7.34 7.93 8/11036 1198134 [07:02] bencc1__: Which of those 5 values do you refer to when you say "close to 100%"? [07:02] beuys, apz.overscroll.min_pan_distance_ratio 1.0 this setting looks relevant.... [07:03] apz.overscroll.stop_distance_threshold [07:03] and [07:03] apz.overscroll.stop_velocity_threshold [07:03] ravan: apz.overscroll.min_pan_distance_ratio seems to have no impact [07:04] when i increase these in the scroll speed becomes latent and slow... [07:04] try the apz.overscroll.stop_distance_threshold [07:04] beuys: I have 8 vCPUs (hyperthreads). 7.93/8 is close to 100% load [07:05] and I'm trying to understand why I don't see this reflected in idle cpu [07:05] bencc1__: Those numbers do not mean what you think. They can go arbitrarely high. [07:06] system load reflects pipeline queue size [07:07] beuys, try searching "scroll" in the about:config.... it outlines all scroll related parameters..... [07:09] ravan: Hmm.. yeah, a lot of work. [07:09] bencc1__: https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/post/cpu-utilization-of-multi-threaded-architectures-explained [07:09] beuys: so what does system load means? should I always ignore it [07:10] hello guys [07:10] system load is queue size. it doesn't count anything else. [07:10] and system load can be over 1 process / core in queue, system still usable [07:11] does system load says anything? should I be aware of that? [07:11] beuys, let me know if something works.... i will also get a new understanding .... [07:12] bencc1__: You would have to interpret the value in context. Asking "Can I ignore the color red?" does not mean much. On a traffic light, you should not ignore it. But roses being red is normal. [07:12] bencc1__: Are you asking in the context of a web server?

For technical support, see #ubuntu-next. For testing and QA feedback and help, see #ubuntu-quality. [07:17] beuys, take your time...... [07:19] At the moment I am trying to figure out why my .bashrc gets executed on system startup. [07:20] Maybe I should put a test and return if it is not run interactively. [07:20] bashrc is executed on login [07:20] if bash is default hell [07:20] shell even [07:21] Ok.. I will put a test for interactive and return if it is not. [07:21] but user directory .bashrc are not run by system [07:21] pasiz: "user directory"? [07:22] beuys: yes, user home directory [07:22] pasiz: Do you count /root/ as a user home too? [07:22] like ~/.bashrc [07:22] yes it is [07:22] Well, it seems to get executed. [07:22] I think even before login. [07:23] I have put a test for interactive. Will reboot now ... [07:23] it get sourced when root runs something with bash === callmepk is now known as callmepk[away] === callmepk[away] is now known as callmepk [07:26] Hello again! [07:26] yes [07:26] Did we just talk here? [07:26] yes [07:26] Nice. [07:26] The test seems to work. [07:26] so how about the non interactive bashrc [07:26] pasiz: How do you mean? [07:27] is it executed before login or not [07:27] pasiz: I am not sure what you mean. Let me explain. I have these two lines in my bashrc: [07:27] bind 'Tab: menu-complete' [07:27] bind 'set completion-ignore-case on' [07:28] And when I boot, I get an alert that they cannot be executed. [07:28] your bashrc should execute only if shell is interactive [07:28] So now I added this on top of my .bashrc and it fixed it: [07:28] case $- in [07:28] *i*) ;; [07:28] *) return;; [07:28] esac [07:28] debian and ubuntu defaults to bashrc that begins with interactive test [07:29] pasiz: Yes, they bring such a ~/.bashrc on a fresh install. But I am using my own home dirs. [07:30] Where would I put a script that I *want* to be executed upon boot? [07:34] I wonder if this one liner is better: [ -z "$PS1" ] && return [07:35] pasiz: iowait is low [07:36] Does anybody know where to put a script that should be run on boot? [07:37] beuys: you ca create a systemd service that runs the script [07:38] bencc1__: No easier way? [07:38] sorry. don't know [07:38] cloud servers sometimes have cloud-init [07:42] When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash [07:42] reads and executes commands from /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if [07:42] these files exist. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. [07:42] per bash(1) manual page [07:43] beuys you just source it [07:43] source path/to/file [07:43] KBar: Source it from where? [07:43] from the shell itself [07:43] or backup the bashrc file [07:44] and write it from scratch [07:44] KBar: Which shell? I want to run something on boot. After I turn on the computer. Before I am in a shell. [07:44] for that you will have to configure grub [07:45] Naahh. Not that early :) [07:45] Preferably just before x starts. [07:46] init [07:46] you need to configure init [07:46] How? [07:49] /etc/init.d [07:49] plenty of examples in that directory [07:50] depends on what you want to achieve [07:51] or as bencc1__ already said: create a systemd service [07:52] unit [07:52] beuys: put it in crontab with "@reboot /path/to/script" [07:53] KBar: /etc/init.d looks good! I will play around with this approach. [07:53] also, try this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/56957/how-to-start-an-application-automatically-on-boot [07:53] specifically this answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/523605 [07:54] the crontab approach is great too. whatever floats your boat [07:54] Wowdy wow, many options. [07:56] Thanks everyone! I will reboot and try some options! [08:01] crontab is on its way out systemd has a scheduler [08:28] Hi. I keep running into situations where I'd like to install a deb file, but are cautious that it might be a malicious executable. Is there a way to 'containerize' a deb install? Or is it safe already? [09:05] Untrusted software is never safe [09:06] You can use lxd to install such a Deb file. [09:07] "Hi. I keep running into situatio..." <- You can put it in a virtual machine [09:07] Depends where you found it and how old it is [09:08] Make sure the executable is much older than the sandbox you use to run it [09:08] Can you rebuild it from source?

When I hit the super key and start typing, applications are suggested. For example when I type "fi" it suggests "firefox", "files" etc. Where is the list of these applications and how can I edit it? [11:21] desktop files [11:21] or [11:21] wait a minute [11:21] Ok [11:25] there is no list, just a folder with desktop files ( starters) [11:26] oh this is interesting. [11:26] oerheks: In /usr/share/applications? [11:26] yep [11:26] its desktop files [11:26] 2 places, you can place your .desktop file at /usr/share/applications/ or at ~/.local/share/applications/. [11:26] for nautilus [11:26] 2nd is user based only [11:26] Ok.. let me explore those ... [11:26] aka gnome files [11:26] see this file [11:27] /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop [11:27] snaps are stored somewhere else [11:27] check $XDG_DATA_DIRS [11:28] My /home/user/.local/share/applications/ is empty. Lets see what happens when I put something there ... [11:28] most likely your system has them in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications [11:29] you dont need to put anything there [11:29] you can just edit the existing .desktop files [11:29] KBar: I want to create a root terminal launcher. [11:29] So when I hit the meta key and type "r" it suggests "root terminal". [11:30] ah okay [11:30] just create another desktop file [11:31] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html [11:31] I thought I'd start by copying the normal terminal desktop file. But where is it? I don't see anything with "term" in the name in /usr/share/applications/. [11:31] org.gnome.Terminal [11:31] try that [11:31] Ah, nice. [11:31] everything related to gnome has that prefix [11:31] conforming to freedesktop specification [11:32] * beuys does cp /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop /home/user/.local/share/applications/ [11:32] Lets see what happens when all I change it the name from "Terminal" to "RootTerminal". [11:33] nothing, i guess [11:33] there is no root-terminal [11:33] you need to specifi the Exec [11:33] do you see the Exec= field? [11:33] oerheks: i think the name is only cosmetic [11:33] KBar: Yeah [11:34] change that field to whatever you want bash/sh to start with [11:34] and rename the desktop entry [11:34] thats it [11:35] The first step at least workd. When I type "roo" it suggests "RootTerminal" now. [11:35] KBar: There are 3 "Exec=gnome-terminal" lines in that file. [11:36] Maybe I can delete 2 of the 3 sections? There are "[Desktop Entry]", "[Desktop Action new-window]" and "[Desktop Action preferences]". [11:36] Maybe prefixing "gnome-terminal" with "gksu gnome-terminal" will work? [11:37] i mean they're self-explanatory [11:37] Oh, there is no gksu. Hmm.. [11:37] new-window is for new windows [11:37] beuys, no, it does not make terminal loged in as root [11:37] preference opens the preferences dialog [11:37] anyway, you need to type a password [11:37] exactly [11:37] oerheks: Yes, I will have to type a password when I open it. [11:38] But the question is: What do I put in the Exec line? [11:38] check man gnome-terminal [11:38] what options it supports [11:38] KBar: I don't think its an option of the application as which user it is started. [11:39] ? [11:39] The Desktop Actions is for when you right-click the icon on the status bar [11:39] you can start gnome-terminal with lots of options [11:39] so there appear extra menu items like "Options" and such [11:40] see if it supplies something that will execute a command or program on launch [11:40] In a terminal one would write "sudo gnome-terminal". But I don't think that is the right choice for the desktop file. [11:40] I would suggest setting your launch command to 'gnome-terminal -- sudo -s' [11:40] with the dashes and everything [11:40] gnome-terminal -e=sudo [11:41] man gnome-terminal has everything [11:41] alive: I think that would run a root terminal inside a normal terminal? [11:41] dont be lazy [11:41] weird thinking [11:41] beuys: It would start a terminal as the current user and launch the user directly into a sudo shell [11:41] KBar: That would run a root terminal inside a normal terminal. [11:41] no [11:41] honestly i would not want to run gnome-terminal itself as root [11:41] Unless there is a specific reason you want to [11:44] If you want to run gnome-terminal itself as root, you would of course need to install gksudo [11:45] alive: Are you sure there is no way without gksudo? [11:45] you can also create another desktop file, set its name to rootterminal, chown it to root and set-uid [11:45] idk if that works tho [11:45] worth a shot [11:45] You could definitely edit your sudoers file to allow yourself passwordless sudo [11:45] KBar: I doubt that. [11:45] of course specifying the Exec= [11:45] then you could just set Exec=sudo gnome-terminal [11:46] alive: Hmm... yeah, maybe. [11:47] So far I think installing gksudo would be the best option. [11:47] But why do you want to run "gnome-terminal as root" and not "root in gnome-terminal"? Is it some ease of use thing? Because I'm almost at the point where I must insist you are trying to solve a problem by creating a different one. [11:49] you said it [11:49] It seems there is no gksudo in the sources. [11:50] You are correct, it seems it was removed with ubuntu 17.10 and no viable alternative exists [11:50] there is pkexec [11:51] But then I run into the potential problem that I was trying to help you avoid which is: "Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused [11:53] One approach might be to run "sudo gnome-terminal && exit" in a normal terminal. [11:53] But thats pretty ugly compared to gksudo. [11:53] I must say, I really like the root termian .desktop file i made, i'm gonna share it here. [11:54] please do [11:54] Yeah [11:55] https://pastebin.com/c3G7Q9LQ [11:55] open pandoras box :D [11:55] i put it in ~/.local/share/applications [11:55] alive: Testing it ... [11:56] Opens a gnome-terminal and outright asks for sudo password. Once that is provided, it launches the root shell [11:56] in the future try using paste.ubuntu.com [11:56] provided in the topic [11:56] do usermod root -s /path/to/your/shell if you don't like the root shell [11:56] KBar: sorry [11:56] i make that mistake all the time in #nginx too lol [11:57] alive: That does not start a root terminal. It starts a root shell in a use shell in a user terminal. [11:57] alive does gnome-terminal -e=COMMAND produce the same thing? [11:58] to start the terminal you must have eid=root [11:58] terminal as root* [11:58] you cant open root terminal when your euid=1000 [11:59] alive: So for example when you start a new terminal via ctrl+n from your terminal, it starts another normal user terminal where you are a user, not root. [11:59] Ah now I think I understand the problem [12:00] -e=command does not work for me KBar [12:00] https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/VWdCkw8kQt/ [12:00] put sudo or whatever command you want [12:00] instead of command [12:00] I just get a deprecation notice :) [12:01] GNOME Terminal 3.38.1 [12:01] So far, the only way I found to start a root terminal is to open a user terminal and run sudo gnome-terminal; exit [12:02] beuys: I think your problem is so foreign to me because of the following factors. 1) I find no issue in spawning 100 terminals and sudo'ing in all of them. 2) I can only work in so many terminals at a time. Specifically 1. 3) I very rarely spend time as root on my own pc. Most of my time is spent writing automation. [12:08] I will use this line for now: Exec=gnome-terminal -e "sudo gnome-terminal &"; exit [12:08] Somewhat ugly but c'est la vie. [12:09] That is clever [12:09] Looks like it also works without the final "; exit". [12:09] So this works: Exec=gnome-terminal -e "sudo gnome-terminal &" [12:15] Thanks for all the help alive and KBar! [12:27] is using backports in ubuntu discouraged? [12:28] ubuntuuser123456, nah ... but backports has been rather idly for a long time (i think in 20.04 you can count the packages in the backports repo on one hand) [12:29] 2 hands ;) [12:30] sad :/ welp, seems like I have to adjust to building my own then [12:30] ubuntuuser123456, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2021-August/041587.html [12:30] the team just has been re-vived it seems [12:32] ubuntuuser123456: what are you trying to do exactly?

[12:34] ogra oh didn't know there was a snap for that. still rather new to snaps and flatpaks ;) [12:34] 🙂 [12:35] additionally I am rather a fan of debs (as long as I know what it's doing :) ) [12:35] I'm pretty sure the problem is in the .deb [12:36] VerlorrenLol2634 which problem oO [12:37] ubuntuuser123456, the deb is at 2020.03.24-1 ... the snap at 2021.06.06+gita803582 ... so you have the choice at least 🙂 [12:37] I get the following error when booting: "cant find a medium containing a live file system". I have the usb mounted, and it says "mounted the iso and extracted it" I've read on the internet to try to "try a previous kernel" so I did. it says it works fine, but then when I boot it goes into grub rescue again, and tells me to "try a previous kernel" or to run the memtest. My computer doesn't seem to be able to [12:37] VerlorrenLol2634: please remove all but one of your IRC clients from this channel.

[12:39] gnomefreak, lhavelund, phunyguy, chu [12:39] I have been using windows for a long time now and I have recently decided to use ubuntu [12:39] how to I fix it [12:39] I don't know [12:39] I can't use the live usb, and the computer won't boot from it [12:39] Why [12:39] can you explain more to me [12:39] ogra yeah I see that, will think about it.but as I am also looking for podman, buildah, skopeo stuff. i assume not everything can be covered by snap (for now) [12:39] TheRedQueen: TY [12:40] ogra yeah I see that, will think about it.but as I am also looking for podman, buildah, skopeo stuff. i assume not everything can be covered by snap (for now) [12:40] ubuntuuser123456, well, if it is not, it is really easy (miles easier than deb) to make a snap yourself for any app you need ... [12:40] ahh oops sry doublepost :/ [12:40] thanks leftyfb and TheRedQueen [12:41] I will look into it ogra. thanks :) [12:44] What just happened [12:44] Anyway i just did a deep dive into configuring policykit to allow pkexec of gnome-terminal and did everything google told me to do but couldn't work it out [12:45] KBar: if you fancy a try i think that is "the way" to get what beuys wanted [12:45] although i would still disagree with him that it /should/ be done [12:45] nah, thanks. i dont like sudoing everything [12:46] same [12:46] At this point it was just a curiosity [12:46] ill stay away from that practice [12:47] leftyfb: Btw, hggdh is one of the channel ops and was already handling it, and TheRedQueen is a bot that thankfully finished the job for us. [12:48] kyentei: ok, but there was no indication that a human was addressing it, hence the alert [12:59] leftyfb: Oh no, I mistook yourself for hggdh due to the length of the nicks and them using the same color here and because I saw him fiddling with the council account just at the same time - and the bot did it on itself in fact. [13:07] ogra do you know if there will be a summary or log or something like that for the meeting which happens tomorrow about the backport situation? [13:08] Hi folks [13:08] ubuntuuser123456, nope, i dont ... i only saw the thread passing by in my email [13:09] wasnt there a link in one of the mails ? [13:10] ahh you mean the wiki link? will check [13:10] yup found it [13:10] BluesKaj hello and welcome. how can we help you? [13:13] KBar, I'm a regular here, no help needed atm, but thanks for asking [13:15] BluesKaj oops, sorry then. i thought you had questions. :) [13:16] my bad [13:17] KBar, your bad what? [13:18] Well, I'm not entirely sure blanketly greeting large channels every time one enters it is really needed either - especially when people often just greet and wait for a response to ask the actual question. [13:22] krytarik okay, my bad. ill try to avoid doing this in the future. thanks for the heads up [13:22] KBar: What no, you were right to ask here.. XD [13:36] my kubuntu system now appears to be clunky, slow animations as well as a extensive boot time, how can i troubleshoot this?; cpu temps are ok, hdd disk is fine, RAM doesn't seem to be an issue [13:38] try #kubuntu [13:39] thanks [13:39] ok [13:39] u0_a343: boot times you can check with systemd-analyze blame [13:40] i noticed snapd related services takes a lot of time, because I have a lot of snap programs, sadly i couldn't find a way to reduce it [13:42] u0_a343, if you are sure it is snapd please open a thread in the snapd category at forum.snapcraft.io (note though in 99% of the cases it turns out that this is only fllout of a different problem (i.e. broken graphics driver, other services hanging that snapd uses)) [13:47] i checked snapcraft, people already faced similar issues but none of the solutions worked for my machine [13:48] this is why you should open a new thread and attach all logs you can find 😉 [13:54] ok, i'll give it a try if everything fails === genii-core is now known as genii === thegodsquirrel is now known as THEGODSQUIRREL === THEGODSQUIRREL is now known as thegodsquirrel [15:52] I have a headless server that is merely doing backups for me. I'm very happy with it. I would like to be able to make some limited input to it, do not want the bother of ssh etc. Is there an easy wahy that I can read the input from a keyboard that I plug in to it, /dev/something, etc? [16:03] jpmh: hmm.... I have trouble understanding what you mean by headless. Like even https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetworkConsole goes right into ssh. Again: assuming you plugin the keyboard. where do you send the input to [16:04] nuala: what I mean is that to set the thig up I did initially use ssh, but now it boots and just runs the scripts that I use for backup with no keyboard, display, etc. I can ssh in if I need to, but generally I don't [16:05] nuala: the rest of what you said, I don't understand what you are asking [16:10] so I am unsure if something like a tty-login prompt is even running in the first place (have you connected a monitor to it?). I assume the first step would be to get this running, so something is listening to your keyboard typing [16:18] Well, the way to see if there is a prompt is to ssh in and "ps aux } grep getty" (getty or agetty is what displays the login prompt on a terminal) [16:25] https://hexchat.github.io/news/2.16.0.html time for an update [16:30] nuala: sorry for the delay - I did not get alerted - yes - if I connect a monitor then it is sitting at login [16:32] Strange, my dock somewhat stopped working. I removed everything from it. I think by right-clicking the icons one after the other and chosing "remove from favorites" or something. Now when I start any program, it does not show up in the dock anymore. [16:35] looks like this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1880570 [16:35] Launchpad bug 1880570 in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu Impish) "Dock - running applications are not/delayed updated when starting with an empty dock" [Undecided, Fix Released] [16:37] "JS ERROR: TypeError: firstIcon is undefined" - Classic example of "developer did not check what happens when x becomes 0". === tomaw is now known as Guest9078 === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [18:11] what htis [18:14] jpmh: but when you plug in the keyboard it is not working? ssh into it with the keyboard plugged in and check lsusb -v ?

[18:35] nuala: sorry about the delay. They kbd is avaiable for login yes. But I want to read it ffrom an app that I have started [18:51] jpmh: nw bout delay/you seem im not here 24/7 neither :) so hm an app, like phone app yes? and if you type on the keyboard what shall happen? [18:51] s/seem/see [19:06] nuala: not sure what you are asking [19:10] what do you want to achieve? === dongcarl7 is now known as dongcarl [19:24] have been a gnome/gnome-terminal user for years, today I installed konsole and its fonts is like 10x better looking, recommended [19:25] thought lxterminal is better, turns out konsole is _much_ better [20:10] jpmh, well, I just tried running "sudo cat /dev/tty2" in a window, then swapped to virtual console 2 with ctrl-alt-f2, typed in some stuff, swapped back to the window and there was the stuff I typed. [20:11] jpmh, so you could read from /dev/ttyn just being sure to swap to that console. You'd have to add the user running your program to the tty group. [20:19] hi, is there any way to move from linux mint to ubuntu without losing data and programs? like when u upgrade from windows 10 to 11 === justache is now known as justHaunt [21:13] What programs should I prefer if I want to make animated emotes for Twitch? [21:14] I could just use ffmpeg transforms to do what I want, but I'd like something easier for the user [21:15] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krita perhaps? [21:33] how do i get my microsoft serialmouse 2.1a to work? [21:34] im using inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyUSB0 on this modern machine with no issues but i cant seem to get my xorg.conf to work [21:34] i removed waylin and install xorg [21:34] Sixteenbit: got a link to the product page for this mouse? [21:35] I'm pretty sure there isn't a USB Microsoft mouse in existence that doesn't just work when plugged into any linux-based OS [21:35] leftyfb, this is a serial mouse [21:35] not a usb mouse [21:36] then why are you messing with ttyUSB0? [21:36] and i got it working, i am just confused to why xorg isnt parsing my mouse settings, [21:36] cause thats the port i got the mouse on leftyfb [21:36] ttyUSB is for USB devices. ttyS0 would be for serial devices [21:37] iv been using an amd k6 2 500mhz with 1gig of ram but decided to get a new dektop but it lacked a serial port [21:37] so i got a usb to serial converter [21:37] leftyfb, yes its a serial to usb converter [21:38] Sixteenbit: what version of ubuntu? [21:38] 20.04 [21:39] Sixteenbit: the default flavor of ubuntu has xorg installed already, you shouldn't have had to install anything to change from wayland to xorg [21:39] oh i did apt-get --purge on bunches of stuff and reinstalled things out of anger when i couldnt get my serial mouse to work [21:39] sorry i was mistaken [21:39] apt-get remove --purge [21:40] Sixteenbit: ok, then you probably want a reinstall of the OS if you removed "bunches of stuff and reinstalled things". There's no telling what state it's in now [21:41] lol leftyfb [21:45] i found information i need [21:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [21:50] oh no i been found out! === dabbill_ is now known as dabbill [22:26] yubikey authentication in linux leaves a lot to be desired [22:26] it works, but provides nothing by way of prompts that it works [22:26] windows, in spite of its flaws, at least throws you an alert the key is needed [22:42] TortillaSandwich: I use a yubikey on linux for ssh authentication [22:42] that works quite nicely, there's a gui prompt for the pin [22:42] (from gpg) [22:58] cbreak: yeah it certainly works well, but the issue is say for like... desktop sign in unlock [22:58] there's no notiifcation to use the key [22:59] I don't use it for that. [22:59] I use them for any level of auth anywhere I can [22:59] for U2F on web pages, there's usually something on the web page, and the button blinks [22:59] for SSH / GPG, I get a pin dialog [22:59] yeah webpages are good but thats cos the browser calls for it [23:00] when I log in on my mac with it, it asks me for the pin too instead of the password. (It's annoying, I should disable it) [23:00] on ubuntu's login, it's basically input password > press enter > hope you move faster than the time out clock [23:00] no dialogue, no prompt [23:01] how does the ubuntu login work? Via the smartcard interface? [23:01] not even that [23:01] that's what OS X login uses [23:01] it's just the standard login, when you hit enter you need to insert the yubikey and press the button [23:01] weird. [23:02] yeah, and it does work cos if you don't interact with the yubikey it kicks back and says invalid password [23:02] in windows you are met with a Yubikey lock page, and prompted to insert it [23:03] its a minor detail, but sometimes I'm not fast enough... Im old lol [23:57] i set a keyboard shortcut to mount a network share for me, but when i use the shortcut it doesn't mount with the same permissions as when i just run the command [23:58] i don't have write permission when i use the keyboard shortcut [23:59] same command, only diff is i used gksudo instead of sudo for the keyboard shortcut
