noarbbefore doing `do-release-upgrade`, it's usually recommeded to do a `apt update; apt upgrade`... is there any additional benefit to dist-upgrade or full-upgrade as well?00:10
rfmnoarb, ubuntu rarely if ever does an update that removes packages, so dist- or full- wouldn't do anything beyond retular update00:22

ailaGHi. I'm fairly new to linux on desktop, and I've managed to cause Ubuntu to not recognize my touchpad, even though if I run an image from a usb drive it does. KDE's settings say "No touchpad found". Help? I've apt installed everything I found, somehow that didn't work :)02:14

guivercyou didn't provide release details - but it's there for Ubuntu Desktop & flavors (it's called "Installed Alongside" if using a ISO with `calamares` so differences can apply for specific release/iso etc)03:13

guivercEndermen1094, the ISO you download dictates what installer you use; Ubuntu 20.04.3 Desktop's default ISO uses `ubiquity`, Ubuntu 20.04.3 Server's default installer is `subiquity` etc... how it appears depends on what 20.04.3 ISO you opted to download & install  (ubiquity & calamares have it) but you can always pre-prepare your disk yourself (gparted; gnome-disks, kde partition manager etc) then manually use whatever you've prepared (what I tend04:02

repzHi there, i am having an issue upgrading from 20.04 to 21.10, openmpi-bin does not want to end its installation but i am not sure of what to do about it. "update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/mpi corrupt: slave link same as main link /usr/bin/mpicc"08:18
tomreynrepz: this is about the update-alternatives mechanism, a set of symbolic links in /etc/alternatives which can be used to pick a preferences out of a set of choices, e.g. your preferred compiler version or text editor.08:23
tomreynthese choices are provided by (debian=.deb) packages. this openmpi-bin seems to be buggy in that it provides the same choice twice (if i'm interpreting this correctly).08:24
repzyes i get that but i am not familiar with mpicc/openmpi and i'm not sure how to get rid of this issue (any apt operation is locked for now)08:24
repzhmm ok08:25
tomreyncan you show    update-alternatives --list mpi | nc termbin.com 999908:26
tomreynlooks like debian has a matching bug report (through it's old, might be something similar) slave link same as main link08:27

repz(i was about to swith to manjaro)08:41
tomreyngood. it might return after you   sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt full-upgrade08:42
tomreynbut i assume not08:42
repzI wonder what did I missed, maybe a repository updates but i am just out of the `do-release-upgrade`08:42
tomreynit's either a packaging bug, or you messed up your package system by installing software from incompatible sources08:43
repznever messed with mpi08:43
tomreyntry this: apt list --installed | grep ',local\]$' | nc termbin.com 999908:43
tomreynand show   apt policy08:44
repzthis local grep does not catch anything08:44
tomreynok, the first would have shown packages without upgrade path08:44

repzhttps://termbin.com/xw90 (i think i adopted thi termbin, wasnt aware of it)08:45
repzhttps://termbin.com/drv108:46
tomreynokay, that's clean as can be, only official sources. so i guess it's really a packaging bug in the openmpi-bin package08:46
tomreynthose are rare but can occur, usually just in packages in the "universe" (community maintained) section08:47
repzyes thanks a lot for your time08:48
tomreynnote that hirsute only has another 3 months of support, you probably want to upgrade to impish (21.10)08:48
repzyes i am aware of that, that was the original plan but the release upgrade crashed in the middle bc of openmpi-bin. I usually stick to LTS, I installed this laptop since 18.04 release but i need newer releases of some packages (i even copmile some), that's why i wanted to upgrade to std / switch to manjaro/arch08:53
tomreynrepz: understandable- there are some ppa's which provide backports. but that could obviously get you into the same trouble.08:54
repzyes i am not a fan of it, i used ubuntu to have something 'stable' but i find myself struggling more with updates and custom setup :D08:56
tomreynthat's pretty inevitable when you do programming - you may need to build packages / dependencies on your own08:59
tomreynat least in some cases09:00
repzzsh / awesomewm is not programing but yes :D09:00
tomreynwell, building custom software then ;)09:01
repzyes, i dived too much into customisation09:01
tomreyni don't think you'll ever run into such problems if you can limit yourself to main + restricted apt sources. but that's pretty difficult.09:03
repzyes just bad luck, i'm on the road to 21.10, i'll see09:04

Donald_Hello, My Ubuntu desktop just freezes, is there any way that I can find the root cause?09:22
Donald_The magic key was not working, I had to reboot my laptop by holding power button.09:23
eggrollthe answer may be in the logs(next question answer=i dont know but i think you could look at dmesg tail -50 or something like that{this is where you ask someone else about how to enterpret and search for pid etc )09:24
tomreynDonald_: which ubuntu release, which magic key did you try? did it freeze before? if not, what may have changed since it started doing so?09:25
tomreynlogs from before the system stopped responding should be available at    journalctl -b -1 -e    if you only rebooted once since (otherwise decrease "-1" further)09:26
eggrollty tomreyn09:26
Donald_I am on Ubuntu20.04 LTS, I have tried "Alt + PrintSrc/SysRq + reisub".09:26
tomreynit's AltGr, not just Alt09:27
tomreyn!sysrq09:27
ubottuIn an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key09:27
tomreynoh, i guess i'm wrong there, this must be specific to my localized keyboard09:28
tomreyneggroll: you can safely test sysrq by switching to a tty...09:29
tomreyn!tty09:29
ubottuTo get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution09:29
Donald_It was freezing when I was using Google Chrome.09:29
tomreyn... and then pressing Alt-Sysrq-h which will print help to screen09:29
tomreynhow much RAM does this system have?09:30
tomreynvmstat -s | head -n109:31
Donald_32 GB09:31
Donald_journalctl -b -1 -e, this only show some yellow text(warning?), no errors(red) found.09:31
tomreynhmm, 32GB RAM is plenty, unless you were running anything that's a major memory hog.09:32
tomreynif nothing was logged at the time, then the system probably didn't make it to log it before it froze.09:32
Donald_Yeah, that ram is enough for me.09:34
Donald_https://i.imgur.com/BwbWQhN.png09:34
Donald_You can check the screenshot there.09:34
TJ-worth noting Ubuntu defaults to disabling many of the magic sysrq functions09:35
tomreynDonald_: you're running SAR there, maybe it can hint on what happened.09:35
tomreynDonald_: other than that, if this system willfreeze repeatedly, you should probably run a memtest overnight and maybe prepare for some kernel debugging09:37
tomreynhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash09:38
tomreyni think current ubuntu releases only allow for U (emergency unmount) and B (reboot) of the 'reisub' sequence09:39
tomreynthat's for security reasons, settings can be changed in /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf09:41
Donald_noted, I will run a memtest.09:42
tomreyn!memtest | Donald_09:44
tomreyn!testing | Donald_09:44
ubottuDonald_: To test your hardware, you can use the packages memtest86+ (for memory, can be started from the !GRUB boot menu), smartmontools (for hard drives), cpuburn (which MIGHT damage your processor if cooling is not adequate!). Additionally, lm-sensors can be useful to monitor temperatures and fan speeds - See also !benchmark09:44
tomreynmemtest86+ is an installable package. for newer systems, if you prefer uefi booting, you need to prepare a usb stick with the free version from memtest86.com instead09:45
tomreyn(you can also place that efi executable on your efi system partition)09:46
tomreynhigh temperatures could also cause the system to shutdown (but usually not just freeze then)09:47
Donald_@tomreyn, noted, thanks, very helpful.10:04

cantthinkofanickAnybody else seeing graphics issues after upgrading to 21.10? Gnome or "Ubuntu" on Wayland hangs for a while, then shows a corrupted screen with a "working" mouse. Gnome or "Ubuntu" on X11 gets a reddish tint (very visible on white backgrounds).11:50
tomreynRomanSteam: it's probably just a matter of version you'd install. the installer will install the package versions it comes with (be sure to always use the latest installer), package updates are only installed after it first booted, and partially only applied after second boot.11:53
tomreyncantthinkofanick: is there anything on your system logs on it? which graphics driver are you using?11:54
jsmooth#docker has no answer, but stopping and starting docker service didn't solve it11:55
cantthinkofanickI see some stuff regarding amdgpu that might be related but I'm really unsure. When Gnome on Wayland freezes I see a lot of "kernel: [96292.285192] [drm:amdgpu_cs_ioctl [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Failed to initialize parser -125!" in the syslog.11:56

tomreynunless you use lvm, then you *might* get away with one.12:26
tomreynbut i'd try to have them share only the ESP really, otherwise you may run into problems due to one using a newer and the other using an older version of some software12:27
tomreynyou should have only the newer OS manage grub, and disable it on the older.12:28

pantalaimonHi, I'm having trouble with the usrmerge package when upgrading to Ubuntu 21.10: It aborts with > Both /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 exist.12:50
tomreynbeuys: well, i'm guessing what you're seeing since i don't even know which ubuntu release you'Re running12:51
beuystomreyn: I think 20.0412:51
tomreynlsb_release -ds12:51
beuysUbuntu 20.04.3 LTS12:52
tomreynpantalaimon: check what file type they are, what which one is older12:52
tomreynpantalaimon: ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.612:52
beuysCan I check if hardware acceleration works correctly? I tried to start Chromium, but it is insanely slow.12:53
tomreynbeuys: okay, on 20.04 you don't need to check any boxes - i'm still on 18.0412:55
ioriapantalaimon, can we see the full error ?12:55
beuystomreyn: Ok, thanks!12:55
tomreynbeuys: if you paste this into the url bar of chromium, it should tell the HW acceleration status chrome://gpu/12:56
tomreynnote that chromium is a snap (thus running in a sandbox) on 20.04 LTS12:57
beuystomreyn: Yeah, I know about the snap approach. Installing it again and then will test the url ...12:58
beuystomreyn: Hmm... that is a lot of output.12:59
beuysLooks like some stuff is accelerated some stuff is not.13:00

lusyI have the damaged hd, with ubuntu I can recover files such as excel, word13:04
ograpantalaimon, is that when doing do-release-upgrade ? or do you try upgrading in any other way (which you should not)13:05
tomreynbeuys: about:support in firefox, scroll down to Graphics13:05
beuystomreyn: Yeah, I see it. Seems to support HW acceleration on most aspects.13:05
pantalaimonogra: this is during do-release-upgrade13:05
tomreynlusy: this appears to be a statement. do you have an ubuntu support question?13:05
ograpantalaimon, from 20.04 to 20.10 ?13:05
ograer13:05
ogra21.04 to 21.1013:06
ioriapantalaimon, 21.10 has libc6 2.3413:06
pantalaimonogra: 21.04 -> 21.1013:06
beuysAnybody here using Chromium on Ubuntu 20.04? It seems impossible slow to me.13:06
ioriapantalaimon, but you have libc-2.33.13:06
ograbeuys, daily ... and happily ...13:06
beuysogra: Via Snap?13:06
tomreynbeuys: what exactly is slow? how much RAM does this system have, how much available?13:06
pantalaimonioria: I know, the upgrade did not finish13:06
ograbeuys, indeed13:06
ioriapantalaimon, ho, so it's a failed distro upgarde13:07
pantalaimonioria: yes13:07
beuystomreyn: Funny, it got fast now. Strange. Maybe something blocked it from the CPU or it did something in the background.13:07
ioriapantalaimon, and the process stopped ?13:08
lusyi wanted to know if i can recover word and excel files from my hd which is damaged13:08
tomreynbeuys: looks like you found a way to prevent answering the questions13:08
ioriapantalaimon, or it's still running someway ?13:08
pantalaimonioria: yes it won't install any new packages until the usrmerge script is successufll13:09
pantalaimondropped me back to the shell13:09
tomreynlusy: testdisk and photorec13:09
ioriapantalaimon, you need to purge usrmerge13:09
ioriapantalaimon,  sudo apt purge usrmerge13:09
tomreynlusy: the best approach is to first create an image of the full disk, or the parts that you need to recover data from, using ddrescue. you must store this image on a separate storage, though, not on the same disk.13:10
lusyI tried but failed13:10
ioriapantalaimon,  if it fails, we need to manually purge it13:11
pantalaimonioria: thank you, it's gone13:11
tomreynlusy: then create a copy of the image and work on that only, keeping the good image unmodified.13:11
ioriapantalaimon,  ok13:11
pantalaimon/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 still points to libc-2.33.so though13:11
pantalaimonand I have a distinct /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.613:11
ioriapantalaimon,  that's weird, because the first thing to get updated is libc613:12
tomreynlusy: how is the disk broken? physically? how do you know? and how did recovering data using testdisk and/or photorec fail? which tool did you use, which error messages were there?13:12

pantalaimonI'm just surprised, wasn't usrmerge introduced a few releases ago?13:21
ograpantalaimon, well, usrmerge sould have moved everything from /usr/lib to /lib around the 20.04 timeframe13:22

nikolamWhy Firefox from Snap in the first run tries to "import" my firefox profile that I am not using with it.. it says "Importing existing firefox profiles from /home/username/.mozilla/firefox"14:49
nikolamIt is doing it without even asking if it is allowed14:49
nikolamAm I allowed to actually control where my profile data resides and what app is using it without default actions done without asking for permission..14:50
nikolamIs data now copied..?14:50
ravageYou have root on your system. So you are allowed to control everything. I assume the import will copy data yes.14:53
ravageAs the whole concept of snaps to keep things separated14:54
oerheksnikolam, not copied, just used. if you really want a clean profile, rename/remove ~/.mozilla ?14:54
oerheksit is a feature, not a bug14:54
ravageAre you sure it places the live dir outside the snap?14:55
ravageI have actually not tried it. Will face that with 22.04 I guess14:56
nikolamWhere it wants to copy my data?15:02
nikolamCopy it into Snap storage?15:02
nikolamit is all not very transparent15:02
nikolamMake access right so that snap can access it15:03
nikolamReally no info what it is actually trying to do with my FF data15:03
ducasseravage: it can't place it inside the snap, that's read only15:03
nikolamSo what it is importing, like the list of the profiles? I have different profiles for different browsers15:04
nikolamMaybe I should just uninstall Ubuntu provided Firefox snap and never use it.15:04
oerheksnikolam, suddely you don't trust firefox?15:05
nikolamI don't think if someone would send bug report about Firefox in snap, that would be handled by Ubuntu anyway, since it's not Ubuntu compiled Firefox or something?15:06
nikolamI don't like snaps in general. They are Ubuntu-only and push uncompiled binaries from unknown source outside Ubuntu as I understand.15:06
nikolamI would rather get Firefox elsewhere.15:06
nikolamWhy would I use it if I can't send bugs for it to distro I use15:07
kostkonnikolam, they are not Ubuntu only though15:07
srvwhy dont you use APT if is you have problems with snap to install firefox just advise but i really dont know the problem15:07
nikolamBut binaries. Pushed to most used distro. As default browser.15:07
nikolamsrv, That is great, except for the thing that Ubunut seems to be pushing to not to maintain Firefox in Ubuntu anymore in the future, that could just prolong the issue15:08
oerheks...  seems to be pushing to not to maintain Firefox in Ubuntu anymore .. the opposite, we do.15:09
oerheksbetter, we share linux wide, but if you don't like snaps, use flatpak/compile from source?15:09
ravagealso im pretty sure the .deb version still exists in 20.04 right?15:10
TJ-Bug #194384015:11
ubottuBug 1943840 in ubuntu-settings (Ubuntu Impish) "[FFe] Update the ubuntu-desktop-minimal seed to use the firefox snap" [Undecided, Fix Released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/194384015:11
nikolamoerheks, but who does provide binaries inside snap and who compiles them?15:13
oerheksravage, yes https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox15:14
oerheksnikolam, the firefox team, ofcourse, and the source is available, tht is why firefox is included in many linux distros15:14
oerheksbut snap is safe, better security due to sandboxing, and update mechanism15:15
nikolamIt exists but by default during 21.04 -> 21.10 is uninstalled and snap is installed .. or it were first update action after update. Then it tries to "migrate" user data without asking and "Not sure" what it means by that15:15
nikolamoerheks, Who compiled it.15:15
ravagemozilla is in charge of the snap15:16
oerheksnikolam, time to check out launchpad for the maintainer info15:16
oerheksi just wonder why you suddenly care?15:17
nikolamBut if mainteiner does not compiles it, it just maintains binary blob15:17
nikolambecause binary blob distribution is not what Linux distros usually do.15:18
oerhekssure the maintainer compiles/tests it.15:18
nikolamAnd maintainer is outside Ubuntu?15:18
Mekaneckpretty sure the ubuntu guys test it too15:19
ravagea maintainer is just one person or a team that manages a package15:19
ravagewhen they compile something for ubuntu it is inside ubuntu15:19
oerheks'outside'??15:19
nikolamBut not compile it , as I understand snap with Firefox is just binary distribution made by someone in between Ubuntu and Mozilla.15:19
ravageyou can ask to be a maintainer at any time15:19
ravagethe snap is compiled and managed by Mozilla15:20
oerheksyes, on the pavement of 110 Southwark Street :-D15:20
nikolamIf it is not compiled by Ubuntu buys, then, it is not Ubuntu package.15:20
Mekanecksigh15:20
nikolamravage, ok, then Ubunut does not ship Firefox anymore. Ok great. Won't use it anymore.15:20
oerheksyou understand wrong.. but i leave you with it, no answer will satify you.15:20
ogranikolam, snap packages have per-app home dirs, your profile will go to ~/snap/iirefox/current/.mozilla i guess ... if yu want to modify profiles, do it there15:20
geomarcinhello15:20
ravagewhatever :D15:21
Mekanecknikolam: have a look at Help -> About Firefox15:21
nikolamogra, yes and Ubuntu does not provide it itself, but somone else and push it as binary blob in snap. I got it, thanks.15:21
Mekaneckin firefox that is15:21
ravageim not the biggest fan of the idea too. but as we are way over the topic here maybe #ubuntu-discuss ?15:21
Mekaneckwhat does it state nikolam?15:21
ogranikolam, the firefox snap is maintained hand in hand between ubuntu devs and mozilla devs ... the mozilla devs prefer bugs in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi#h=dupes%7CFirefox15:22

ldshHi, I did update to 21.10 and Conky doesn't seem to start on startup any-more. It's still on the list of "Startup Application Preferences", and I tried adding some delay, but no conky showing up. If I start manually, it works fine. Do you know where I can look for the log of what is happening at startup?17:33
GrandPa-GI have a client that set up a Ubuntu server for me to access remotely. They have limited technical skills so I have to tell them what to do, but I don't know this first step.17:36

ldshlotuspsychje, Yes, I tried Wayland Gnome, X11 Gnome and Wayland Ubuntu17:36

ldshI'm testing something, rebooting17:54
tomreynGrandPa-G: the easiest for the two sides will be that you set it up yourself on a VM or spare computer and use this to guide them through the process.17:55
GrandPa-Gtomreyn, that is not possible for me to set up the vm. that is not my question17:56
tomreynGrandPa-G: you can actuall yhave them install an ssh key from you stored on launchpad for you to be able to authenticate securely.17:56
tomreynGrandPa-G: i'm not suggesting that you set up the server hosted at the client, but that you set up another one on your end so that you can guide them17:57
GrandPa-Gtomreyn, what do I tell them to just allow a regular password me for now. Then I can add the key aftwards and they can set it back17:57
tomreynyou tell them to install with a regular user (suggest a username) and a secure (password generated generated) password, and to transfer the password to you on a secure channel, or at least a separate channel.17:58

Auprivavetomreyn: hotspot does not show up when running ubuntu 21.1018:03
tomreynGrandPa-G: in fact i don't think oyu can install without setting a password at all, so they must have set one.18:04
Auprivaveserver is another issue. not critical though. It just asks for a password even though im using ssh.18:04
tomreynAuprivave: so you've installed ubuntu 21.10 desktop, and you're trying to connect to your android hosted wireless hotspot, but it does not show in the list of access points?18:05
GrandPa-Gtomreyn, so if I have them nuke my userid, then just do a sudo adduser username, it should be asking for a plain password, correct - no passphrase?18:05
Auprivavetomreyn: exactly. it worked with 21.04, but not 21.1018:05
ldshlotuspsychje, Could be linked, however, strange that it didn't worked when I tried with x11. My test right now was to use "killall conky" in command line which seems to have found something (if I do a second time, it tels no process found)18:06
Auprivaveoh. focal is 20.04 :D18:06

Auprivavei find the Redis-server package puzzling. Solved the Allocmem dependensie, but when trying to install redis-server_6.0.16 there is a missing dependensy: redis-tools (= 5:6.0.16-1~bpo11+1)18:10
Auprivavei cant locate redis-tools (= 5:6.0.16-1~bpo11+1)18:10
Auprivaveredis-server in Ubuntu repo is ancient. Maitainers seems to have left it for dead. It just seems very strange. Why is there there no updated package for such a widely used database?18:12
tomreynGrandPa-G:    sudo adduser mysupportuser && sudo add mysupportuser sudo && sudo apt install openssh-server     should be enough18:13
tomreynGrandPa-G: don#t make them nuke the existing user, you can do that for them later18:13
GrandPa-Gtomreyn, what password will mysupportuser have?18:14
AuprivaveGrandPa-G: you set the passwd afterwards18:14
tomreynGrandPa-G: the one they will be setting when prompted18:14
tomreynAuprivave: does ubuntu 21.10 list other wireless entworks, though?18:14
GrandPa-Gtomreyn, of course, silly me. I will tell them and see what happens, thanks18:15

ldshThanks for the help!18:15
tomreynGrandPa-G: you're welcome. if this fails somehow, i'd ask them to install again, make sure they set up a new user during installation, note down the password they are setting there, and install openssh-server (sshd)18:16
tomreynAuprivave: do other computers still see the hotspot? have you restarted the hotspot since?18:16
Auprivavetomreyn:  will test with 21.04 on my RPi to make absolutely sure.18:17
tomreynAuprivave: if it's still listed there, then chances are that the desktop does not / no longer support the (outdated?) wireless protocol the android hotspot provides. or that its driver does not support this protocol (maybe you need a restricted driver for this)18:19
tomreynAuprivave: those version numbers do not seem to exist on ubuntu18:32
Auprivavetomreyn: thanks. okay. Redis is pretty hopeless when it comes to maintaining.18:33
tomreyn21.04 and 21.10 have redis-server version 6.0.15-118:33
Auprivavetomreyn: cheacked wifi on my pi and my mac. they work. so issue is only with ubuntu 21.10 on my thinkpad here.18:34
tomreynwhich wireless chipset does it have? which driver is loaded? lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 999918:34
Auprivavetomreyn: weird. I get redis-serer 5.* when intalling on 21.04 and 21.10. I will check up on that. could be a repo issue.18:34
tomreynthe ubuntu package version is "5:6.0.15-1", which will be based on upstream version 6.0.1518:35

tomreynabout "server is another issue. not critical though. It just asks for a password even though im using ssh." - using ssh doesn't mean that you're not going to authenticate with a password18:37

Auprivavelove purging stuff. makes me feel very powerfull18:44
ograuntil you purged too mch πŸ˜‰18:45
tomreynssh/sshd: public key authentication is on by default on servers. you should ensure that a public key is configured at the right place on the server and that the ssh client tries to authenticate using the corresponiding private key. keep an eye on the servers' system logs while trying to authenticate18:45
Auprivaveaah.. right. better check the logs. using Mosh and openssh.18:46
tomreynpermissions on both sides' key material also must not be too loose (nor too restrictive)18:46

bodomalkisg: 5.10.70, while i have 5.4.0 here on ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Can i upgrade just the kernel?20:34
alkisgbodom: sure, sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe20:34

cbreakno20:49
tomreynbodom: iommu=soft tells the kernel to use a software IOMMU (software bounce buffering (SWIOTLB)) rather than to rely on the hardware provided. it's most likely slower than the hardware implementation20:49

noarbI'm trying to just use curl and wget because I didn't know there wasn't a chrome or chromium package in ubuntu. I've installed a root certificate onto my machine, but when I try to connect via https it is untrusted. I have a Root I -> TLS CA II -> End user cert. If i just trust the TLS CA II it does work, though. Do I need to distribute the signed intermediate cert from the server in order to trust21:53
noarbconnections from the root cert? Or is the root alone not enough, does the bundle need to be trusted?21:53
leftyfbnoarb: chrome is not available from the official ubuntu repo's, but chromium does have a snap and google chrome is available to install via a .deb package from google.com/chrome21:54
cbreakyou can use firefox too if you want a gui21:55

noarbI am using the .deb from google.com/chrome, but I'm having some trouble with certs. I installed to the system, but I think chrome uses a different keystore21:56
noarbtomreyn: should only the root be installed on the clients? Then does the server distribute its own key, and also the intermediate that signed it (which is signed by the trusted root)?21:57
tomreynnoarb: right21:57
cbreaknormally it gives you the whole chain21:57
tomreynhmm no, root CA certificate isn't usually part of the distributed chain21:57

cbreakotherwise, how would anyone verify that all the certificates in the chain up to the root are valid?22:04
tomreyncbreak: clients have the root certificate, receive all the other certificates from the servers they are connecting to, then build the full chain from that (via signatures)22:06
cbreakyes, as I said.22:06
cbreakyou need to send up the whole chain up to the root.22:06
