=== j2bv17 is now known as j2bv16 [00:10] before 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? [00:22] noarb, ubuntu rarely if ever does an update that removes packages, so dist- or full- wouldn't do anything beyond retular update [00:37] thank you for ubuntu 21.10! [01:06] hey is it possible to change to the old Unity shell on ubuntu 20 or 21 (the desktop ? with cmd+1 or cmd+2 shortcuts and docker style simple things like on OSX) [01:10] find what you want https://distrowatch.com/ [01:11] !unity | sdfgsdfgs [01:11] sdfgsdfgs: Unity is a graphical shell for the GNOME desktop environment. Ubuntu used it by default from 11.04 to 17.04. For more information, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity [01:12] sdfgsdfgs, ubuntu-unity-desktop is available for year.month releases (not snapped for Ubuntu Core 20 etc though) [01:35] Hello [01:37] dez_: Ubuntu support question ? [01:44] Anybody here?! [01:47] no [01:47] nice [02:14] Hi. 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] so it was working before ? [02:14] eh [02:16] Yeah it was [02:17] It was working, then I found that after it woke up from sleep it stopped working. modprobe psmouse stuff got it back, minus my settings. So I started messing with it and seem to have made it worse. [02:18] BTW I do have experience with using Linux on servers so I can run commands and stuff [02:22] sdfgsdfgs ? === Hash is now known as HelloNewman [03:11] why was there not a opsion to install ubuntu on a duel boot system [03:13] Endermen1094, there is; http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/428/builds/238228/testcases/1301/results shows a testcase for impish final [03:13] you 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) [03:14] s/Installed Alongside/Install Alongside/ ^ [03:19] i used the OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS x86_64 [03:19] [03:22] also it didn't give a promnt to manige space from my existing install (Gentoo) for it and ubuntu [03:23] turns out snapd was killing my do-release-upgrade [04:02] Endermen1094, 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 tend [04:02] to do) [04:03] Hello I m new to Ubuntu, I am facing an issue with my laptop after installing Ubuntu, can someone help [04:04] My laptop heats up too much while using Ubuntu and when i switch back to windows my laptop doesn't heat up [04:05] maybe ubuntu community will be best to answer this question, it does involve you !

[04:45] noel: come to #ubuntu-discuss we can chitchat === xb is now known as Guest8808 [07:43] I need to download chrome and vivaldi via the terminal === guodong is now known as GuoDong [07:48] aslan: the chrome version of ubuntu is chromium browser, sudo snap install chromium === gabes0 is now known as gabes === Dcod200 is now known as Dcod20 [08:18] Hi 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" [08:23] repz: 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. [08:24] these 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] yes 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) [08:25] hmm ok [08:26] can you show update-alternatives --list mpi | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:27] looks like debian has a matching bug report (through it's old, might be something similar) slave link same as main link [08:27] keep getting the same message [08:27] - "slave link same as main link" [08:27] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=896189 [08:27] Debian bug 896189 in openmpi-bin "update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/mpi corrupt: slave link same as main link /usr/bin/mpicc" [Serious, Open] [08:27] yes i found it but not the fix [08:29] were you saying that running update-alternatives --list mpi gives you the same error message? [08:29] (and nothing else?) [08:29] yes nothing else [08:31] and ls -l /etc/alternatives/mpi* | nc termbin.com 9999 ? [08:32] and what about update-alternatives --display mpi | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:33] repz: this is a bit cruel but i think it will let you proceed and not break anything: sudo rm -f /etc/aternatives/mpi* /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/mpi* [08:34] already tried [08:34] without luck [08:34] https://termbin.com/qg6q https://termbin.com/vuq4m [08:39] hmm, try to sudo dpkg -P openmpi-bin && sudo update-alternatives --remove-all mpi ; sudo rm -f /etc/aternatives/mpi* /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/mpi*; sudo apt update && sudo apt install openmpi-bin [08:40] wow [08:40] seems to do the job [08:41] thanks a lot [08:41] (i was about to swith to manjaro) [08:42] good. it might return after you sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt full-upgrade [08:42] but i assume not [08:42] I wonder what did I missed, maybe a repository updates but i am just out of the `do-release-upgrade` [08:43] it's either a packaging bug, or you messed up your package system by installing software from incompatible sources [08:43] never messed with mpi [08:43] try this: apt list --installed | grep ',local\]$' | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:44] and show apt policy [08:44] this local grep does not catch anything [08:44] ok, the first would have shown packages without upgrade path [08:45] the second shows where packages may be installed from now [08:45] https://termbin.com/xw90 (i think i adopted thi termbin, wasnt aware of it) [08:46] https://termbin.com/drv1 [08:46] okay, that's clean as can be, only official sources. so i guess it's really a packaging bug in the openmpi-bin package [08:47] those are rare but can occur, usually just in packages in the "universe" (community maintained) section [08:48] yes thanks a lot for your time [08:48] note that hirsute only has another 3 months of support, you probably want to upgrade to impish (21.10) [08:53] yes 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/arch [08:54] repz: understandable- there are some ppa's which provide backports. but that could obviously get you into the same trouble. [08:56] yes 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 :D [08:59] that's pretty inevitable when you do programming - you may need to build packages / dependencies on your own [09:00] at least in some cases [09:00] zsh / awesomewm is not programing but yes :D [09:01] well, building custom software then ;) [09:01] yes, i dived too much into customisation [09:03] i 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. [09:04] yes just bad luck, i'm on the road to 21.10, i'll see [09:05] 🍀🍀🍀 === spinningcat__ is now known as spinningCat [09:22] Hello, My Ubuntu desktop just freezes, is there any way that I can find the root cause? [09:23] The magic key was not working, I had to reboot my laptop by holding power button. [09:24] the 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 ) [09:25] Donald_: which ubuntu release, which magic key did you try? did it freeze before? if not, what may have changed since it started doing so? [09:26] logs 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] ty tomreyn [09:26] I am on Ubuntu20.04 LTS, I have tried "Alt + PrintSrc/SysRq + reisub". [09:27] it's AltGr, not just Alt [09:27] !sysrq [09:27] In 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_key [09:28] oh, i guess i'm wrong there, this must be specific to my localized keyboard [09:29] eggroll: you can safely test sysrq by switching to a tty... [09:29] !tty [09:29] To 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/ChangeTTYResolution [09:29] It was freezing when I was using Google Chrome. [09:29] ... and then pressing Alt-Sysrq-h which will print help to screen [09:30] how much RAM does this system have? [09:31] vmstat -s | head -n1 [09:31] 32 GB [09:31] journalctl -b -1 -e, this only show some yellow text(warning?), no errors(red) found. [09:32] hmm, 32GB RAM is plenty, unless you were running anything that's a major memory hog. [09:32] if nothing was logged at the time, then the system probably didn't make it to log it before it froze. [09:34] Yeah, that ram is enough for me. [09:34] https://i.imgur.com/BwbWQhN.png [09:34] You can check the screenshot there. [09:35] worth noting Ubuntu defaults to disabling many of the magic sysrq functions [09:35] Donald_: you're running SAR there, maybe it can hint on what happened. [09:37] Donald_: other than that, if this system willfreeze repeatedly, you should probably run a memtest overnight and maybe prepare for some kernel debugging [09:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash [09:39] i think current ubuntu releases only allow for U (emergency unmount) and B (reboot) of the 'reisub' sequence [09:41] that's for security reasons, settings can be changed in /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf [09:42] noted, I will run a memtest. [09:44] !memtest | Donald_ [09:44] !testing | Donald_ [09:44] Donald_: 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 !benchmark [09:45] memtest86+ 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 instead [09:46] (you can also place that efi executable on your efi system partition) [09:47] high temperatures could also cause the system to shutdown (but usually not just freeze then) [10:04] @tomreyn, noted, thanks, very helpful. [10:10] Hi, I have a question. How do I enable pipewire for audio on 21.10? The howtos I found suggest using some example files from the pipewire dir, but those examples doesn't seem to be packaged so they fail at that step. === ubuntu is now known as Guest5636 [10:59] ravage, tomreyn, Mekaneck, I actually solved my problem with Steam recently === rexbinary_ is now known as rexbinary [10:59] There's a bug in Ubuntu installer [11:00] When I choose "install proprietary ... for graphics, media, Wi-Fi etc", it installs nvidia driver, but it doesn't work fine, and when trying to switch to another one, system crashes and lots of bugs appear [11:00] But! [11:01] If I choose not to install them, and then install them manually, by switching in the "additional drivers" menu, it works flawlessly. And steam runs successfully. Even with nvidia. [11:03] There's something wrong with the installation process of Ubuntu. Some months ago I also discovered that it is extremely necessary to disconnect from the Internet during the installation [11:04] Otherwise it'll not install properly and random bugs'll appear. [11:31] I'm trying ot use Docker via Laravel Sail, but it says bind failed becuase port 3306 is in use. Im trying ot figure out command to tell me which service is using it [11:34] jsmooth: sudo lsof -i :3306 [11:36] Here's the output...not sure how to use it https://gist.github.com/longcurve/6237adacb894073f99d8187e30c5a99a [11:37] jsmooth, you typoed ... try again 🙂 (missing the colon before the port number) [11:37] jsmooth, also it is an i not a small L [11:38] Basically same output I updated the gist [11:39] still no colon ... better just copy/paste the command from EriC^^'s line directly [11:43] docker-pr 4067 root 4u IPv4 45779 0t0 TCP *:mysql (LISTEN) [11:43] there you go [11:43] I think it's saying docker-prune is hte service [11:45] ps ax|grep 4067 [11:45] that will giv you the full command [11:45] *give [11:45] Oh.it's docker-proxy [11:45] No idea what to do [11:46] i dont touch docker with a ten foot pole so i cant tell you either 🙂 perhaps ask in some docker channel [11:46] <- lxd user if it comes to containers ... [11:46] I have no idea what lxd is [11:47] linuxcontainers.org [11:47] ubuntus default container technology [11:50] Anybody 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). [11:53] RomanSteam: 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. [11:54] cantthinkofanick: is there anything on your system logs on it? which graphics driver are you using? [11:55] #docker has no answer, but stopping and starting docker service didn't solve it [11:56] I 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. [11:57] tomreyn: I'm using an AMD card, of course. [11:57] cantthinkofanick: which one? lspci -knnd ::0300 | nc termbin.com 9999 [11:58] cantthinkofanick: and which kernel? cat /proc/{version*,cmdline} | nc termbin.com 9999 [11:58] cantthinkofanick: and which mainboard? journalctl -b | grep DMI: [11:58] tomreyn: Dumping some info here: [11:58] 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

[12:00] tomreyn: https://termbin.com/ksux [12:00] https://termbin.com/w7qk [12:00] tomreyn, anyway, I'm using the latest installer [12:00] tomreyn, motherboard: ASUS System Product Name/ROG STRIX B550-A GAMING, BIOS 1401 12/03/2020 [12:01] cantthinkofanick: did you have kernel oopses? journalctl -b | fgrep 'cut here' | wc -l [12:01] tomreyn, nope, the reply there was zero. [12:01] (I have rebooted the system since, though, so if that gets cleared it might not show.) [12:02] cantthinkofanick: did you have kernel oopses during the previous kernel uptime? journalctl -b -1 | fgrep 'cut here' | wc -l [12:03] cantthinkofanick: you may want a newer AGESA for this graphics card, get a bios update. your current bios version is version 1401, build date 12/03/2020 [12:04] cantthinkofanick: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205089 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1870971 discuss the error you quoted initially - i have not read it, yet [12:04] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 205089 in Drivers "amdgpu : drm:amdgpu_cs_ioctl : Failed to initialize parser -125" [Normal, Resolved: Code_fix] [12:04] Launchpad bug 1870971 in linux (Ubuntu) "[amdgpu] (X)ubuntu 20.04 boots to black screen on Lenovo Ideapad L340-17API when in battery mode" [Undecided, Confirmed] [12:04] tomreyn, none there either - but the system doesn't crash per se, it just doesn't show graphics properly. Even with the Wayland picture completely corrupted I can use a text terminal on a different TTY completely fine. Yes, updating firmwares and bios may be a good way forward. [12:05] cantthinkofanick: did this corruption occur by the time you were playing a game? [12:06] tomreyn, no this was directly after an upgrade from 21.04 to 21.10. The GUI misbehaved on first login. [12:06] cantthinkofanick: the kernel.org report suggests an amdgpu firmware upgrade. but i'd still do the bios, too [12:07] tomreyn, yep, thanks a lot for the tip, I'll try and see what happens. [12:11] cantthinkofanick: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/amdgpu/picasso_sdma.bin is the git log for the amdgpu firmware file. you can download the latest at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/amdgpu/picasso_sdma.bin?id=d7b50e61669dc137924337d03d09b8986eb752a3 and place that in /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ as picasso_sdma.bin (after moving the old one out of the [12:11] way/deleting it) [12:11] file sha1sum is f0aa630a93f5f6c2e262a010f6b497b39b093b91 [12:12] this is not a safe way to handle updates, of course. [12:14] cantthinkofanick: just in case you haven't spotted it, yet: bios version 2423 (release date 2021/08/17) is current https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b550-a-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios [12:16] tomreyn, thanks, yes, I just downloaded it (and Freedos to try and run the installer). Thanks for the link to the AMD firmware I was more unsure of that one. :) [12:17] cantthinkofanick: you can just place the contents of the (extracted) zip file on a fat32 formatted first partition on a usb stick, then load it from the within the existing bios. [12:17] I just cannot find how to get whatever to stop using port 3306 [12:18] jsmooth: is the default port for mysql servers (mysql community edition, mariaddb server, percona server etc.) [12:19] *this (3306) is [12:19] Far as I can tell, mysql and mariadb servers are not running [12:20] as you previously seemed to have found out, it is docker-proxy what's hogging the port. [12:21] i also don't work much with docker, but i can search the web: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39130263/docker-proxy-using-port-when-no-containers-are-running [12:23] tomreyn, Things have sure gotten a bit easier since the late nineties. :) [12:23] easier? not sure, more complex for sure. === Guest5636 is now known as eggroll [12:24] ciao a tutti [12:25] in terms of partitions what do i need for a dual install debian based os and ubuntu (separate home partitions for each) many thanks in advance [12:25] eggroll: 2 or more partitions [12:26] unless you use lvm, then you *might* get away with one. [12:27] but 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 software [12:28] you should have only the newer OS manage grub, and disable it on the older. [12:30] an alternative, sometimes better, approach to having two OS installations available in a multi-boot setup is to use virtualization for one of them [12:31] ciao [12:31] ho un problema [12:31] so my os partitions can be ext4 and other partition with the boot info is like 500MB but what type and which flags are needed guessing boot but what else [12:31] !it | lusy, stefano [12:31] lusy, stefano: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [12:33] eggroll: i think the only flag which really matters on an all linux system is the ESP / EFI flag (if it's a UEFI booting system) [12:33] eggroll: whichubuntu release are you installing, and how? [12:34] the latest ubuntu stable and parrot os [12:34] which is debian based [12:35] the latest stable ubuntu release would be 21.10, since two days or so [12:35] not sure how much i should allow for each OS [12:35] lol reading that a minute ago [12:36] lets say the one prior for now [12:36] that'll have 3 more months of support - i'd rather go with the latest if you're installing fresh [12:36] (or lts) [12:37] i fresh install like i change my jocks, thanks all the same for the warning my important shit is on other drives [12:39] fair point but [12:39] i'd do 1 GB for /boot nowadays (if separate), 10 GB *minimum* for the rest (better 20 or 25 if a desktop) [12:41] thanks man, yeah is a desktop with a few programs and much gui de etc [12:42] Hello! When I do "apt update && apt upgrade", I often get new packages. Does Ubuntu not inform the user when there are new updates? [12:44] beuys: i think that on both current desktop and server releases, updates would be installed automatically by default - but you can choose otherwise. [12:45] in fact, on desktops it may just present a graphical update prompt [12:45] tomreyn: I am using the Desktop. So maybe manual updates are not really supported and Ubuntu expects you to use the automatic approach. [12:46] tomreyn: I get such a prompt sometimes. But very rarely. [12:46] tomreyn: But when I check manually, there often are updates available. [12:47] beuys: check your settings: software-properties-gtk --open-tab=2 [12:47] navigate tot he "updates" tab, if it's not already there [12:48] Aha. Yes, it says "Download and install automatically". [12:49] I am changing it to "display immediately" === diskin is now known as Guest7206 === diskin_ is now known as diskin [12:49] also make sure that (at least) the first two checkboxes are checked [12:50] Id don't see checkboxes.

[12:51] beuys: well, i'm guessing what you're seeing since i don't even know which ubuntu release you'Re running [12:51] tomreyn: I think 20.04 [12:51] lsb_release -ds [12:52] Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS [12:52] pantalaimon: check what file type they are, what which one is older [12:52] pantalaimon: ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 [12:53] Can I check if hardware acceleration works correctly? I tried to start Chromium, but it is insanely slow. [12:55] beuys: okay, on 20.04 you don't need to check any boxes - i'm still on 18.04 [12:55] pantalaimon, can we see the full error ? [12:55] tomreyn: Ok, thanks! [12:56] beuys: if you paste this into the url bar of chromium, it should tell the HW acceleration status chrome://gpu/ [12:57] note that chromium is a snap (thus running in a sandbox) on 20.04 LTS [12:58] tomreyn: Yeah, I know about the snap approach. Installing it again and then will test the url ... [12:59] tomreyn: Hmm... that is a lot of output. [13:00] Looks like some stuff is accelerated some stuff is not.

But it has no easy answer :) [13:04] hello [13:04] usrmerge: [13:04] Installed: 25ubuntu1 [13:04] Candidate: 25ubuntu1 [13:04] Version table: [13:04] *** 25ubuntu1 500 [13:04] 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/main amd64 Packages [13:04] !paste | pantalaimon [13:04] pantalaimon: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [13:04] I have the damaged hd, with ubuntu I can recover files such as excel, word [13:05] pantalaimon, is that when doing do-release-upgrade ? or do you try upgrading in any other way (which you should not) [13:05] beuys: about:support in firefox, scroll down to Graphics [13:05] tomreyn: Yeah, I see it. Seems to support HW acceleration on most aspects. [13:05] ogra: this is during do-release-upgrade [13:05] lusy: this appears to be a statement. do you have an ubuntu support question? [13:05] pantalaimon, from 20.04 to 20.10 ? [13:05] er [13:06] 21.04 to 21.10 [13:06] pantalaimon, 21.10 has libc6 2.34 [13:06] ogra: 21.04 -> 21.10 [13:06] Anybody here using Chromium on Ubuntu 20.04? It seems impossible slow to me. [13:06] pantalaimon, but you have libc-2.33. [13:06] beuys, daily ... and happily ... [13:06] ogra: Via Snap? [13:06] beuys: what exactly is slow? how much RAM does this system have, how much available? [13:06] ioria: I know, the upgrade did not finish [13:06] beuys, indeed [13:07] pantalaimon, ho, so it's a failed distro upgarde [13:07] ioria: yes [13:07] tomreyn: Funny, it got fast now. Strange. Maybe something blocked it from the CPU or it did something in the background. [13:08] pantalaimon, and the process stopped ? [13:08] i wanted to know if i can recover word and excel files from my hd which is damaged [13:08] beuys: looks like you found a way to prevent answering the questions [13:08] pantalaimon, or it's still running someway ? [13:09] ioria: yes it won't install any new packages until the usrmerge script is successufll [13:09] dropped me back to the shell [13:09] lusy: testdisk and photorec [13:09] pantalaimon, you need to purge usrmerge [13:09] pantalaimon, sudo apt purge usrmerge [13:10] lusy: 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] I tried but failed [13:11] pantalaimon, if it fails, we need to manually purge it [13:11] ioria: thank you, it's gone [13:11] lusy: then create a copy of the image and work on that only, keeping the good image unmodified. [13:11] pantalaimon, ok [13:11] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 still points to libc-2.33.so though [13:11] and I have a distinct /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 [13:12] pantalaimon, that's weird, because the first thing to get updated is libc6 [13:12] lusy: 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? [13:13] pantalaimon, run 'do-release-upgrade -c' [13:14] Checking for a new Ubuntu release [13:14] No new release found. [13:14] pantalaimon, cat /etc/issue [13:14] Ubuntu 21.10 [13:14] i knew it [13:15] pantalaimon, apt-cache policy apt libc6 | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:15] https://termbin.com/kcmg [13:16] pantalaimon, it's ok [13:16] pantalaimon, sudo apt update [13:16] All packages are up to date. [13:17] paradigm, dpkg -S /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 [13:17] pantalaimon, apt -s install usrmerge | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:17] tomreyn: thank you, it's hard for me to do what you say [13:18] ioria: https://termbin.com/2m6n [13:18] err sorry paradigm, that was for pantalaimon [13:18] pantalaimon, sudo apt autopurge [13:18] lusy: you're welcome. it's difficult to help without more details, though. [13:19] and yes, data recovery is difficult [13:19] ioria: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [13:19] pantalaimon, dpkg -S /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 [13:19] ogra: dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 [13:20] so your package system does not even know what file that is, where it comes from [13:20] it's a sym link [13:20] Hi folks [13:21] pantalaimon, let's try to install it again; sudo apt install usrmerge [13:21] I guess without usrmerge /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 will still be used [13:21] I'm just surprised, wasn't usrmerge introduced a few releases ago? [13:22] pantalaimon, well, usrmerge sould have moved everything from /usr/lib to /lib around the 20.04 timeframe [13:22] ioria: still Both /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 exist. [13:22] * pantalaimon nods [13:22] pantalaimon, can you install the pkg or stiil get errpors ? [13:22] err the other way around indeed [13:22] from lib to usr/lib [13:22] ioria: still the same error, Both /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 exist. [13:23] pantalaimon, ok, cd /var/lib/dpkg/info [13:23] pantalaimon, done ? [13:24] ioria: just cd? [13:24] pantalaimon, yes [13:24] I'm in that directory now [13:25] pantalaimon, sudo rm usrmerge.* [13:25] I'll do sudo mv usrmerge.* /tmp/ just to be sure ^^ [13:25] pantalaimon, ok; sudo apt-get -f install [13:26] it completed oO [13:26] pantalaimon, ok; dpkg -l usrmerge | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:26] https://termbin.com/74ytn [13:27] pantalaimon, it's ok; well done [13:27] thank you! [13:27] no problem ; afk [13:32] ogra: no worries [13:37] sa vient de moi ou les autre réseaux sons dead??

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [13:38] OK [13:50] anyone here use ubuntu on wsl2, I'm unable to get x to connect to VcXsrv even after adding VcXsrv to the firewall rules ;( [13:52] I just get https://dpaste.org/GtSb [13:56] Hey Gang, which Distro has squid v5.2 (latest) included? I'm using ubuntu and 4.13 is all is will offer in apt. Thanks for the help. [13:58] TRS: it's in Debian unstable, so likely it will trickle into the next version of Ubuntu [13:58] https://packages.debian.org/sid/squid [14:08] pantalaimon: Thx. [14:09] pantalaimon: Do you happen to know if there are any pre packaged vAppliances for a squid proxy for download? [14:49] Why 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] It is doing it without even asking if it is allowed [14:50] Am 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] Is data now copied..? [14:53] You have root on your system. So you are allowed to control everything. I assume the import will copy data yes. [14:54] As the whole concept of snaps to keep things separated [14:54] nikolam, not copied, just used. if you really want a clean profile, rename/remove ~/.mozilla ? [14:54] it is a feature, not a bug [14:55] Are you sure it places the live dir outside the snap? [14:56] I have actually not tried it. Will face that with 22.04 I guess [15:02] Where it wants to copy my data? [15:02] Copy it into Snap storage? [15:02] it is all not very transparent [15:03] Make access right so that snap can access it [15:03] Really no info what it is actually trying to do with my FF data [15:03] ravage: it can't place it inside the snap, that's read only [15:04] So what it is importing, like the list of the profiles? I have different profiles for different browsers [15:04] Maybe I should just uninstall Ubuntu provided Firefox snap and never use it. [15:05]
