[00:09] <C0nundrum> tomreyn you still there ?
[00:11] <C0nundrum> For some reason it's showing the whole partition is sdb1
[00:30] <jcbjoe2021> C0nundrum: what’s going on? I’m really née but I hate when I ask a question and nothing lol
[00:31] <jcbjoe2021> New*
[00:32] <Guest3794> Hi
[00:33] <Guest3794> I'm having trouble with my Ubuntu 20.04, the wifi is connected but no internet
[00:43] <nikolam> I again got Firefox dying with no big reason, only this time it's Firefox Develop[er and not regular Firefox from Ubuntu 21.04
[01:16] <Hash> I was in X and switchd to tty 7 and then back to tty1 to back to X and now all my windows render incorrectly
[02:16] <guigui-80> bonjour jwisbell35 comment aller vous?
[02:23] <silverdust> hello, I messed up something with my C headers, or some configuration for compiling C code.  I'm now unable to build some software that works in a fresh Ubuntu image in VM.  I had installed scc, tcc, musl, GNAT, others, so I'm not sure what the root cause is
[02:24] <silverdust> are there any packages that can help me trace back, or restore default headers?
[03:04] <jago092> i installed ubuntu onto external hard drive. when it asked me which HD i'd like to install the bootloader on, I selected the external hard drive. Then when i removed the HD and restarted the computer I saw grub CLI for some reason
[04:04] <jago092> i installed ubuntu onto external hard drive. when it asked me which HD i'd like to install the bootloader on, I selected the external hard drive. Then when i removed the HD and restarted the computer I saw grub CLI for some reason
[04:10] <toddc> jago092: have you set bios to boot to the external drive as the first boot device?
[04:10] <jago092> i can boot into it. it's just that i didn't want to leave evidence behind on the university computers
[04:13] <toddc> depending on how the computer is set up---I usually disable usb device boot up on all work computers so you would have to reset afterwards
[04:16] <toddc> bios aways needs to know what to boot to and what order and as I said above I limit work computers for security and to avaiod boot issues/tampering
[04:17] <toddc> most scheeols will do the same
[04:25] <toddc> jago092: install grub will take over all bootloaders so you will need to reinstall the original boot loader--windows boot repair?   using a live ubuntu will not install grub so that will not leave a trace
[04:26] <jago092> toddc, these computers allow you to boot from an external drive but dont allow changing bios settings. if i was able to change bios settings then i could have changed it so it selects the windows boot loader before grub
[04:26] <jago092> toddc, im still able to get it to boot into windows by going to the boot menu and selecting windows boot loader. its just that its not the default selection when you turn it on
[04:27] <jago092> toddc, perhaps i could add something to grub to get it to boot into the windows bootloader quickly
[04:28] <toddc> need acess to bios to change boot or windows boot repair  you can add ubuntu to windows boot but i have not done that
[04:28] <toddc> and that would leave a trace
[04:35] <linocisco> hello all, I have startup problem everytime after login. here is the apport.log entries under /var/log. https://pastebin.com/0Zw3MFsV
[04:35] <linocisco> Any suggestion is appreciated to remove that annoying dialogbox
[04:38] <guiverc> jago092, grub properly exists in /boot/grub/ on your installed drive; the boot code is limited to to only a few commands entered by users unless the installed drive is available at boot time
[04:39] <jago092> quitman, i just ran sudo grub-mkconfig -o /universityEFIdrive/grub.cfg and it updated it with some menu entries (before it was entry). are you saying it won't be able to display them?
[04:39] <jago092> entry/empty
[04:46] <guiverc> jago092, they'll be saved in /boot/grub/ generally; so whatever drive that was installed to.  A boot sector (pointer; grub stage 0) only is written to the boot device (ie. pointer to where the grub boot code is)
[04:50] <Lazarus> ohk
[06:01] <swift110> hey all
[06:08] <fudgespinner> hi
[08:39] <Gwalenn> hi, I made my application launche and it works fine. But I want to see it on my desktop. I placed it in ~/Desktop (Bureau in french) but it doesn't appear.
[08:40] <Gwalenn> **launcher
[08:45] <Gwalenn> of course, on the net you can see dozen of solutions with add-on programs doing the job. But for sure I should possible to do the job in command line
[08:54] <ninjax07> Anybody using dwm here? I'm planning to switch from i3wm
[08:59] <talismanick> When launching an Ubuntu (Server) ISO via virt-manager, what should be passed to --location?
[08:59] <talismanick> The download page for Ubuntu Server autoredirects without saying what the precise URL of the mirror is
[08:59] <talismanick> (it just gives a "download from ette.biz" or w/e)
[09:00] <talismanick> I doubt that'll work for --location
[09:00] <talismanick> (setting it to the user-facing redirecting page)
[09:03] <talismanick> There's an example --location parameter for Ubuntu in the virt-install manpage, but us.archive.ubuntu.com no longer exists
[09:10] <spookley> meat
[09:19] <talismanick> No one?
[09:20] <EriC^^> talismanick: not sure what you mean, us.archive.ubuntu.com exists
[09:21] <talismanick> EriC^^: Ah, perhaps it's only the specific URL from the manpage which no longer works
[09:21] <talismanick> Regardless, I can't connect to it securely
[09:22] <talismanick> EriC^^: focal is Focal Fossa, the 20.04 LTS release, right?
[09:23] <EriC^^> yeah
[09:23] <talismanick> perfect
[09:23] <talismanick> Although, this is quite troubling
[09:23] <talismanick> I certainly wouldn't want to run the command if I can't connect via HTTPS (on public university WiFi network)
[09:24] <EriC^^> talismanick: see here in case it helps https://askubuntu.com/questions/1237165/cant-install-ubuntu-20-04-kvm-guest
[09:25] <talismanick> EriC^^: What are some other mirrors?
[09:25] <talismanick> I found what I think is the Oregon State one, but it didn't work
[09:26] <talismanick> (and, despite being updated in 2020, the folders under focal/ had 2010 in the name, which seemed off)
[09:27] <EriC^^> the one in the link seems good, main ubuntu one
[09:28] <talismanick> nvm, do believe I've found a list
[10:15] <ducasse> talismanick: why not grab the iso first and pass it to virt-manager?
[10:21] <talismanick> ducasse: I did
[10:22] <talismanick> It kept on failing due to lack of a "default" network
[10:22] <talismanick> and I read that this could be fixed by setting --local
[10:22] <ducasse> weird, never had that issue
[10:25] <talismanick> a-ha!
[10:25] <talismanick> https://0x0.st/-ELe.txt
[10:25] <talismanick> A segfault on virsh calling dnsmasq to start the "default" network!
[10:26] <talismanick> Time to eagerly Google this error and hit a dead end again! :')
[10:29] <talismanick> First result for error says to disable SELinux, which I don't have
[10:29] <talismanick> but, but
[10:29] <talismanick> I do have AppArmor
[10:30] <talismanick> And I see files and folders with "libvirt" in theirs names in /etc/apparmor.d/
[10:31] <tomreyn> if you want to autoinstall ubuntu server, the most future proof approach is probably to use its autoinstall feature
[10:32] <tomreyn> debian-installer has been phased out, so you rprrobably don't want rely on that
[10:34] <tomreyn> yet another option https://powersj.io/posts/ubuntu-qemu-cli/
[10:40] <C0nundrum> Finally got some time to jump back here tomreyn. This is what is says about my lvm partition with missing partitions
[10:40] <C0nundrum> https://gist.github.com/dragonpiper/60e48171ebd769dcdb0ca96d6fd7042e
[10:40] <C0nundrum> vg-extra that is
[10:44] <tomreyn> C0nundrum: hi. what are you trying to do there? what's this gist for?
[10:44] <tomreyn> (and why are you addressing me specifically)
[10:44] <EriC^^> C0nundrum: it looks like a /boot rather than a root fs
[10:44] <C0nundrum> A list of info on vg-extra. It was an ubuntu installation on a lvm volume. I'm trying to mount it on a new installation. I saw you pinged me earlier but i lost the message because i was on webchat. O
[10:45] <C0nundrum> I'm on a client now so i can actually look back at the history
[10:45] <tomreyn> !logs
[10:45] <EriC^^> C0nundrum: anything in /oldsystem/lost+found ?
[11:38] <C0nundrum> EriC^^  /oldsystem/lost+found is empty
[11:39] <C0nundrum> THis is all i see
[11:39] <C0nundrum> https://gist.github.com/dragonpiper/a1b5c9601fbae95c0fa1aa54f78ab60d
[12:16] <C0nundrum> Any ideas on recovery ?
[13:03] <tomreyn> C0nundrum: even if the old root file system was corrupt there would be more than just the contents of /boot in there now, and those would not be in the top level directory. i think you did not tell the full story of what happened. also, while it doesn't help the situation you seem to be in now, you should have had backups in the first place.
[13:10] <tomreyn> talismanick: see bug 1810067 - looks similar
[13:14] <C0nundrum> tomreyn i did import and export it on the cd before i exported rebooted into the new os and imported
[13:14] <C0nundrum> I don't have backups as those were on the live cd and i didn't back up the originals i dont think
[13:14] <C0nundrum> i guess the lvm2 partition is what is missing
[13:15] <tomreyn> C0nundrum: i mean backups of your data on the malfunctioning disk which you were booting to previously.
[13:15] <tomreyn> (that would include a backup of lvm metadata if you included /etc in your backups)
[13:15] <C0nundrum> don't have the catch to redundantly backup a tb sadly
[13:16] <C0nundrum> should have had backups of the metadata
[13:16] <C0nundrum> i was rushing to much i guess. Is there anything i can do ?
[13:17] <tomreyn> C0nundrum: can you describe how you exported and imported the lvm metadata, which system you're now running?
[13:18] <tomreyn> also, when was vg-extra created, and by whom? this is a not a VG name the ubuntu installer would pick, so i'm wondering.
[13:18] <C0nundrum> i did a vgrename so there wouldn;t be a collision when i imported it
[13:18] <C0nundrum> it was the generic name
[13:19] <tomreyn> and did you find a way to stabilize your internal storage and the overall hardware, yet? i remember that there were problems with the storage, but i think you also said the system was generally freezing?
[13:22] <C0nundrum> Well... it recently just crashed again. was just going to ask you. the reason for that should be in kern.log right ?
[13:23] <C0nundrum> I did a fresh ubuntu 18.04 on a different hardrive but the same machine
[13:24] <tomreyn> hardware failures will not always be detected by the operating system. but they may be, then you'll see it in systemd-journald's logs.
[13:29] <tomreyn> if i was in this situation, i'd do the following, in this order: test the overall hardware to ensure it's stable (memtest, cpu burn in test). replace storage wiring / connectors + connect storage to different mainboard connector; do a long smartctl self test. if that fails, or DRDY errors continue to be logged in system logs, acquire a storage which is at least (exactly) the same size as the existing one. use dd-rescue to back up all data from
[13:29] <tomreyn> the old storage to an image file. upload the image somewhere or get another storage to make another copy on. use testdisk to try to recover the (supposedly) lost on-disk structures.
[13:29] <tomreyn> C0nundrum: ^ this takes some time and effort, though, make sure it's actually worth it.
[13:30] <C0nundrum> I mean its either that or wipe the drive right ?
[13:30] <tomreyn> wiping a drive will not magically fix broken (?) hardware
[13:31] <C0nundrum> I'm refering to the missing partition issue. Solving the hardware issue, is there is one won't solve that
[13:32] <C0nundrum> hm, in the kern log i see . irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error; ata5: SError: { HostInt }
[13:32] <C0nundrum> Would that be what locks up the os ?
[13:33] <C0nundrum> I also get alot of  failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED. Not sure if that's just normal for ssd on my motherboard
[13:33] <tomreyn> anothe rpiece of info that was lacking from your latest paste were the characteristics of the LVs on vg-extra and those of the file system which you have/had mounted to /oldsystem
[13:34] <tomreyn> if the OS can't write to the disk / bus its primary file systems are mounted from, this could macke it lock up, yes
[13:34] <tomreyn> that is, if this happens all of a sudden
[13:35] <C0nundrum> Right something like that may have happen such as from a power loss to trigger or a reboot or from a lockup
[13:36] <tomreyn> this ATA error can suggestbroken sata wiring or a bad (broken hardware) sata controller
[13:36] <C0nundrum> I've tried swapping the cables. Brand new ones of a trust brand even
[13:36] <C0nundrum> trusted *
[13:37] <C0nundrum> also tested contacts
[13:37] <tomreyn> it could also be buggy firmware
[13:38] <tomreyn> or just a broken disk
[13:38] <C0nundrum> Right :/ in wich case i have to toss the bug. I have a service to cycle the board so i use it for now. That last partition just became to unstable. If i can at least recover the old /var/lib/docker directory. That would be amazing
[13:38] <C0nundrum> toss the board*
[13:39] <C0nundrum> I already have a service on a power switch that cycles it when there is a lockup that last over 30 mins that i've been using for a couple monmths to keep it alive
[13:39] <C0nundrum> It could be the board or the cpu , i think i replaced the ram already.
[13:42] <tomreyn> i don't remember which mainboard and bios version or which disk and firmware you had there. you could look for firmware updates for either, but if this is old hardware which has been unstable for a long time, you probably should not spend much time on it now
[13:42] <C0nundrum> the hd i have the os on should be stable enough as i had it running on a shitty asrock mb on windows 8.1 and it was far more stable than the amd pc so i don't think it's storage unless linux somehow taxes it differently
[13:43] <C0nundrum> Yea for the amd pc they released 2 bios its a amd 8160 i belief
[13:43] <C0nundrum> So there's no tooling besides a disk rescue program that can help me ?
[13:44] <tomreyn> i'm not familiar with "amd 8160"
[13:44] <C0nundrum> https://gist.github.com/dragonpiper/b211e83c6d9db78a27acb102a36f7ec5
[13:45] <tomreyn> it's not clear what exactly the situation you're in is, so it's difficult to recommend tooling. generally, as long as these bus errors persist, trying to recover the data on the same computer seems like a bad idea. try it on a different computer, do you see the same errors there?
[13:46] <C0nundrum> I have 2 issues. 1: Constant ubuntu cashes on 18.04 and the kernel it comes with. 2: getting access to a lvm partition that wasn't imported correctly
[13:46] <C0nundrum> the one i want help with solving atm is the lvm issue
[13:48] <tomreyn> ok, did you connect the disk you want to recover data from to a stable computer, yet?
[14:13] <C0nundrum> yes
[14:14] <EriC^^> C0nundrum: what does 'df -h /oldsystem' show?
[14:22] <fanta> Hi

[16:05] <jontyms> Time appropriate greetings, I seem to be experiencing https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1946003. Is there any fix? it is making my pi completely unusable
[16:09] <tomreyn> jontyms: does this affect a supported ubuntu release?
[16:09] <tomreyn> (the bug report is against upstream cloud-init)
[16:14] <jontyms> yes I am on ubuntu 21.04
[16:15] <jontyms> I reverted the package to 21.1 and that fixed the problem
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> !info cloud-init hirsute
[16:22] <tomreyn> jontyms: maybe you could add this info to the bug report
[16:27] <jontyms> sorry I should have done more testing before complaining. I am not seeing the unusual cloud-init usage
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> jontyms: so something else was making your pi unstable? did you find the bottleneck?
[16:30] <jontyms> cloud init was showing up as high usage in htop but I re installed cloud-init and the problem went away
[16:31] <jontyms> is there any reason to keep cloud-init installed?
[16:32] <webchat30> I am new to Ubuntu, running it on a Mac Mini, trying to connect to Wifi, getting the message, "No Wifi Adapter Found." I read old posts on the web to try figuring this out, but couldn't. Can someone help me, please?

[17:44] <Aavar> Hi! I am trying to set up a openvpn-server on ubuntu 20.04. I am using this script and it is working. The issue is that there is no password or username, so if my *.ovpn file is to get into the wrong hands it will be bad... does anyone know an easy way of editing the script to include that?
[17:48] <famubu> ogra: Thanks. So it's probably not something wrong with my config.
[17:50] <leftyfb> Aavar: first off, don't let your ovpn files get into the wrong hands. Second, .ovpn files don't have credentials by default anyway. They can only refer to another file using the auth-user-pass parameter
[17:50] <famubu> I also had trouble installing emacs packages from elpa. But elpa.gnu.org is opening fine in the browser though `gnutls-cli elpa.gnu.org` gives this error: https://bpa.st/5SVQ
[17:50] <famubu> Any idea how this could be fixed?
[17:51] <leftyfb> famubu: you'll have to contact elpha for support with their services
[17:52] <leftyfb> famubu: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[17:52] <famubu> leftyfb: I'm on 18.04
[17:52] <famubu> It seemed to be working fine for others, so I thought it was something to do with my config.
[17:53] <Aavar> leftyfb: Isn't it a good idea to require both the certificate and a password?
[17:54] <Aavar> I think that was how it was set up on my asus router a few years ago...

[20:38] <N4buc0> Hello guys! I am facing the following situation and I hope someone could help me.
[20:39] <N4buc0> I have an old HDD and I bought a new SSD, I know that there is the possibility to just clone my old HDD to the new SSD
[20:39] <N4buc0> However I prefer to install ubuntu into the new SSD and then just install all my applications into the new Ubuntu OS
[20:40] <N4buc0> My question is: Is there the possibility to just list all the applications I have and copy it as command and just run this command in the new Ubuntu?
[20:40] <N4buc0> I hope this possibility exist, if so please could some one tell me where to read more about it?
[20:44] <tomreyn> https://askubuntu.com/questions/9135/how-to-backup-settings-and-list-of-installed-packages#answers
[20:45] <Bashing-om> N4buc0: see ' apt show debfoster ' >> debfoster xan also only lists those packages manually installed.
[20:45] <EriC^^> N4buc0: this should narrow it down a little, then manually go over them to fine tune it, comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u) > ~/my_installed_packages
[20:45] <N4buc0> tomreyn, Bashing-om and EriC^^, Thank you very much for your help! I will read more about those options!
[20:46] <tomreyn> those last two are better than what i suggested for retrieving the list of primary packages (omitting dependencies of those)
[20:46] <EriC^^> N4buc0: once you have the list, run 'sudo xargs -a /path/to/my_list apt-get install -y' to install them on the new system
