[00:00] which shells were you able to reproduce the problem in? [00:00] sh and bash [00:00] oerheks: the image is definitely mounted as read-write [00:02] five623468263: What are you using to create the chroots? [00:03] What do you mean? I mount the image with kpartx, then I mount /proc/, /dev/ and /sys/ inside, then I simply run 'chroot /mnt/chroot' [00:04] And again, this exact same process (which is a script) worked flawlessly in all previous versions of Ubuntu [00:04] The only thing that has changed is my host Ubuntu installation, which is now 21.10 === Chex_ is now known as Chex [00:07] and /dev/pts [00:07] Yeah, I do that too, just forgot to mention, sorry [00:07] oh oke [00:11] I just tried the *exact* same workflow with Ubuntu 21.04 as a host, and it works flawlessly [00:11] So the issue is definitely in the host's update... but I have no idea why [00:14] five623468263: how about zsh or ksh or csh? [00:14] five623468263: have you been able to reproduce this with those shells? [00:15] I will try right away. Should I do zsh on host or chroot or both? [00:16] I think within the chroot [00:18] five623468263: try also installing the procenv package, and run procenv -A both via chroot /whatever procenv -A and chroot /whatever -- and then running procenv -A from within that shell [00:22] I can't seem to be able to use apt from within chroot, even with the "apt apt update" workaround [00:22] I get: Unknown error executing apt-key [00:22] ouch [00:23] I guess that answers that question :) [00:23] Seems like the whole environment is very broken, but why :/ [00:23] five623468263: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1947860 [00:23] Launchpad bug 1947860 in qemu (Ubuntu) "qemu-arm-static swallows the program name, and shifts all arguments left" [Critical, Fix Committed] [00:24] five623468263: man I'm glad someone else filed this bug report already :) [00:24] Ahhh wow, so it's a proper bug [00:25] bummer, the packages are still building :( [00:26] Since I haven't ever been this close to bleeding edge fixes, how long will it take until this fix will appear in my host's apt update? [00:28] five623468263: excellent question, I can't recall if there's a "seven days in -proposed" thing for stable releases or if that's only for the development release [00:29] I see. Well, I am in no rush to use Ubuntu 21.10, so I will patiently wait :) [00:29] Thanks so much for all the help to everybody here, especially for managing to dig out the existing report sarnold and ubottu [00:29] I thought I was going insane... but I guess I just hit a very neat bug === five623468263 is now known as five6 [00:30] five6: yeah, it's *crazy* and I really dreaded trying to find the guilty component. :) [00:31] Tbh I suspected it would be qemu, there was just nothing else left, but I know nothing about how it works so I couldn't even attempt to troubleshoot it [00:32] yeah, qemu was my first choice of suspect, but linux wouldn't have surprised me either. I just wanted to get the easy cases of shells covered first :) [00:32] Makes sense. Well, I shall be going off now. Thanks for all the help again!

[03:07] riddles [03:07] explain to a. noob or not at all.. [03:09] yverx: there's an application called "terminal", are you able to start this? [03:09] yverx: I am sorry - I do not know how to simplfy further the instruction to execute. Can you help me help you with where I may be failing ? [03:09] when i do the first kfc kill panel command, thers still 2odd panels [03:10] ahwait ok now only 1 odd on top [03:11] no bashom. stay smart [03:12] ofc tomreyn, where else would i input the commands [03:14] yverx: well, you said you did not understand the instructions. those mentioned "terminal" and provided a command you were supposed to enter there. === Sven_vB_ is now known as Sven_vB [03:20] bashom: it gibes [03:20] *** gives me an output with A DATE [03:21] so. i assume, that file is present?

If you remove that file and ' xfce4-panel --restart ' then a new user config will be created with system defaults when the panel is restarted. [03:23] FML my. typimg. is. pire. shit. since. phome reset... apologies.. [03:24] how do i do that? [03:26] the "rm" command takes one argument, a path to a file to remove/delete. the file you may want to remove / delete is ~/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc [03:27] yverx: execute 2 commands: ' mv ~/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc ~/Desktop ' and ' fce4-panel --restart ' . [03:28] Bashing-om: i think that's missing an x there in "fce4-panel" [03:29] yverx: the 'mv' moves a files to your Desktop directory. either 'mv' or 'rm' will work - generally mv is the sager option in the event of ooopps, [03:30] tomreyn: Ouch ! yeah !

[04:04] no help but i learned smthn + patience <3 [04:05] yverx: As you say "boot oftn doesn work to negin witj" - do suggest a file system check from a live USB, at this point.

[04:12] oh yea no doubt debian is already a winner [04:13] with win 8.1 etc ++ im so lost i dont even know where to start loosing time to unf*ck the whole system [04:13] also appreciate nobody sraight suggested a kayer 8 problem [04:13] l* [04:14] i really know what im doing : }}}} [04:16] or so i think :] [04:16] after hardkill i had an option to restore panel settings from 2 month back [04:17] where is it decided when to make such backups [04:18] i need to remove/purge some soft and reinstall proprietary drivers i think then ill run smooth [04:18] debootstrap stable bullseye ... where can I find a kernel? wget and unzip a .deb is fine [04:18] er debootstrap ubuntu :p [04:18] I'm doing both [04:18] but its usually running 247 so little problems [04:19] CarlFK: which ubuntu release? === starz_ is now known as starz [04:20] debootstrap focal focal http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [04:20] you might want to do so through https [04:21] VIA: "reinstall proprietary drivers" -- no, unless the graphic's are Nvidia or some exotic card. [04:21] for the kernel image you can choose between vanilla and HWE. i guess the latter makes most sense [04:21] where do I get either? [04:22] CarlFK: hwe would be package linux-generic-hwe-20.04 [04:23] for vanilla / general availability (GA) kernel, it's just linux-generic [04:23] you probably also want grub [04:24] apt install linux-generic ... The following NEW packages will be installed: (lots of packages...) [04:25] Is it easy and more stable to have multiseat on ubuntu with virtualbox or with qemu/kvm? I guess latter is free too? multiseat = multiple people user one system at the same time with their own set of keyboard,mice,monitor,audio etc [04:25] I just want initrd.img-5.4.0-89-generic vmlinuz-5.4.0-89-generic [04:26] the drivers rnt working [04:26] no other way than clean/ourge n try again [04:27] i tried like 20 distros in 1 week this one is most to my liking [04:28] VIA: ' sudo lshw -C display ' to get a start on finding ourt what the problem might be. [04:28] how do you tell, driver not working? [04:29] and it took me me 30~+ installls to figure out what packs to install in what order to make it atually WORK and not endup with a broken sys again [04:29] ayght lets see what it do [04:30] vidal72[m]: If you have to try hard in ubuntu ......... you are doing something wrong :D === mkv is now known as m4v === erlon_ is now known as erlon [05:20] What is better for having windows for gaming?

[07:02] oh sorry === killadi is now known as mekilladi [07:17] when aptitude why shows Depends and it lists them separated by | , what does that mean? Does it mean "or"? [07:19] i think so, but it's been a long time since i used aptitude, so I might remember incorrectly [07:19] !aptitude [07:19] Like apt and apt-get, aptitude is a terminal frontend for Ubuntu's package management system. Unlike the others, it is not recommended in Ubuntu because its behavior differs significantly from other Ubuntu package management tools and can cause issues. [07:30] I use aptitude to search [08:16] hello there! [08:16] morning Rockerul [08:18] how is everybody? [08:19] !chat | Rockerul [08:19] Rockerul: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:23] !guidelines [08:23] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [08:23] I stick with apt and dpkg. [08:35] how can I register? :( [08:36] I mean...I know the commands, but I have a problem on picking the email.. [08:36] Rockerul: for help wit IRC related stuff please ask in #libera [08:37] ok, thx [08:37] this channel is for support with ubuntu and it's flavors only [08:37] I am new to this :D [08:37] sure [08:37] I just got back to Ubuntu :) [08:37] but wanted to join some IRC for good old times [08:37] still offtopic chatter... [08:38] anyway, welcome back then [08:38] ty, so here I can only ask for Ubuntu related things [08:41] Rockerul: yep, as said this channel is for support with Ubuntu and it's official flavors [08:41] good, need a bit of help then :) [08:42] if you just want to chit chat then there's #ubuntu-discuss and #ubuntu-offtopic [08:42] got an SSD where I installed Ubuntu, but still have an HDD that I want to use for Datas (files) [08:42] my question is: how to format the HDD, and the mount on startup [08:43] since i never have done that i'll leave that to someone else [08:43] you can use gparted to format it and then edit /etc/fstab to mount it automatically [08:44] make sure you backup anything you wanted to keep before formatting [08:44] well...I think I did it in a way, but don't know if it's the correct way, or if there is an "correct" way [08:44] !fstab | Rockerul [08:44] Rockerul: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions [08:45] also...the thing I never understood: SWAP, do I need it? Have 8Gb RAM...on Ubuntu install I followed basic instalation...let Ubuntu pick partition settings [08:45] is it ok? [08:46] Rockerul: should be fine, nowadays ubuntu tends to use a swapfile rather than a separte partition [08:46] separate [08:47] If the RAM is 8GB you'll get a swapfile of 2GB [08:48] so that should be ok than? I want to use it to learn programming on this laptop [08:48] should be fine [08:49] how much swap space you have has no relation to programming [08:50] how often to search for updates? I use "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" like once / week, is it ok? [08:50] sorry if I ask stupid questions...but I prefer to be stupid for my questions for 5 minutes than remain stupid for how long I use Ubuntu :)) [08:51] There's a Software Update which pops up once there are updates available, so no need to search manually [08:51] I don't think upgrade would get you kernel updates so you'll want full-upgrade [08:52] Update/Updater [08:52] just sudo apt full-upgrade? [08:52] after sudo apt update yes [08:52] sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [08:52] aaa I see [08:53] and what is the difference if I use sudo apt-get update? I got used to put that -get after apt....don't know why but... [08:54] update refreshes the repositories to the latest and upgrade fetches the newer versions to install and full-upgrade fetches newer version that also installs new dependancies (such as kernels) [08:55] apt-get is just the older one, it is recommended to use apt (meant to be cleaner) [08:56] https://askubuntu.com/questions/445384/what-is-the-difference-between-apt-and-apt-get [08:56] As I understand it, aptitude and apt-get should be considered deprecated. I'd get used to using apt from now on. [08:57] i will use only apt from now on than. Thanks guys :) [08:57] yw [08:59] will go to #libra later and figure it out with registration, and when I have questions about my system I will come here :) I will go now and thest if my HDD it's auto-mounting now. Again, thank you for your help guys and catch you later. Take care, bye :) [08:59] Rockerul: there is a package called something like unattended-updates [08:59] it will do the job for you [08:59] what that doese? [09:00] Rockerul: the name is pretty much self-explanatory :-) [09:00] I cannot remember off the top of my head how often it checks for updates [09:00] !info unattended-updates [09:00] Package unattended-updates does not exist in impish [09:01] perhaps it is unattended-upgrades ? [09:01] the "unanttended" part was there for sure [09:01] !info unattended-upgrades [09:01] unattended-upgrades (2.8, impish): automatic installation of security upgrades.

I could not find a systemd unit and there did not seem to be a related file in /etc/init.d. Is it somehow called by systemd-networkd? [09:27] Just out of curiosity, how is ifupdown2 called? I assume it would be the same place? === Daniel is now known as Guest6708 [09:58] Can someone explain why Ubuntu installs Python 2 with npm? [09:58] It's not listed as a dependency, it just does. [09:59] I just don't get why anything in Ubuntu installs Python 2 when Python 2 hasn't had a security update for almost two years. [10:09] qskwood, why would ubuntu install python 2? [10:09] That would be my exact question. [10:09] you surely should look at the package you install with npm [10:09] I'm not using npm. [10:10] I'm using `apt install npm` [10:10] then it is a dependencie of nopm, likely [10:10] Yes [10:10] Yes it is [10:10] And my question is "Why" [10:11] apt-cache depends npm # shows why [10:12] First off, if you actually read what I wrote you'd see it's not a dependency [10:12] Second, that wouldn't say why it's a dependency, just that it is one (which it is not) [10:13] apt show npm [10:13] Again [10:14] that doesn't provide any information. [10:14] If you don't know the answer to a question it's perfectly fine to disengage [10:14] Wasting people's time is rude [10:14] installing npm pulls in 210 packages, good luck [10:19] https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/gyp [10:19] This was "fixed" in groovy [10:20] It will be fixed in the next LTS by extension, so I'll be able to use an LTS environment that doesn't rely on Python 2 [10:20] good thing groovy is EOL [11:16] Sorry I upgraded my server and my IRC client was offline. Was there a response to my question? [11:34] Hi :) Question: I have managed to somehow make my LAN networkcard dissapear, how do i install it again? Its a Realtek card [11:35] gnask: is it built-in or USB? [11:35] Built-IN [11:35] gnask: lets see if we can identify the hardware: "lspci -nnk -d ::0200" [11:36] (this lists PCI devices in the ethernet network class (0200) [11:36] 4:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

[11:36] That is all the text it outputs [11:37] did you miss the "k" in the options? (that reports kernel modules either in use or available) [11:37] Nope -nnk are the flags i used [11:37] gnask: OK, so we now know what the issue is - you've 'lost' the kernel driver [11:37] Sounds bad :> [11:37] gnask: so next we figure out which one it should be and where it went! [11:38] Allright! [11:38] gnask: as this a a Realtek device its possible the driver is not included in the mainline kernel and you've got an out-of-tree kernel module installed to drive it [11:38] Ok [11:38] gnask: see if a driver that looks to match that device is listed with "dkms status" [11:39] rtl8821ce, 5.5.2.1, 5.13.0-20-generic, x86_64: installed [11:40] gnask: that looks like it. it shows 2 kernel versions installed. Check what the current running kernel version is with "uname -r" [11:40] 5.13.0-20-generic [11:40] gnask: OK, lets see if we can find the module [11:41] gnask: "find /lib/modules -name 'rtl8821ce*' " --- do you get any matches? [11:42] Yes [11:42] /lib/modules/5.13.0-20-generic/updates/dkms/rtl8821ce.ko [11:43] gnask: all looks good so far so now we need to find out why that module doesn't load [11:43] gnask: let's first try manually inserting the module and seeing if the kernel has a problem [11:43] Ok [11:43] gnask: "sudo modprobe rtl8821ce" ... if that works you won't get any messages, just back to the shell prompt [11:44] gnask: then check kernel messages with "dmesg | tail -n 20" [11:45] modprobe worked, no messages [11:45] i got alot of kernel msgs though from dmesg [11:45] Can someone please help to reslove the udev issue? https://askubuntu.com/q/1373624/21005 [11:45] ^resolve [11:45] gnask: that system has an internet connection so we can share them in a paste? [11:46] Yep, im on it now via WIFI [11:46] gnask: if so " dmesg | tail -n 50 | nc termbin.com 9999 " [11:46] https://termbin.com/jwoy [11:48] gnask: something wrong here, those are just UFW firewall messages, no reports of the module loading or the device being initialised as we'd expect [11:48] Oh ok [11:49] gnask: let's see if the module did load. "lsmod | grep rtl" - do you see the rtl8821ce ? [11:50] https://termbin.com/z4wu [11:51] gnask: this is getting weirder [11:51] Welcome to my life lol [11:52] gnask: when did you install that rtl821ce-dkms package? Looking at it, it is for a wifi device NOT wired :D [11:52] gnask: which would explain this [11:52] gnask: let me go back to basics and figure out which driver your hardware should be using [11:53] TJ-: I dont know really, was on a spree yesterday and tried to update stuff [11:53] Ok! [11:55] gnask: show me " grep . /etc/modprobe.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999 " I want to see if there's been a blacklist for the expected kernel driver [11:56] https://termbin.com/4p7z [11:56] gnask: it looks like that device ought to be using either the kernels' r8169 driver or the one from the r8168-dkms package [11:57] Yes ok [11:58] gnask: nothing obvious there. You said you did some house-keeping and updates. Is that when this problems tarted? [11:58] Yep it was [11:59] aha! so, lets look at the apt log! " cat /var/log/apt/history.log | nc termbin.com 9999 " [11:59] https://termbin.com/j8s2 [12:01] Hello everyone. I am doing "do-release-upgrade" in non-interactive mode. How do I prevent/exclude a single service from being autorestarted during the upgrade process? [12:02] gnask: so I see yesterday you removed and reinstalled dkms and the rtl8821ce packages at 09:28 - was the device still working at that point, or was that an attempt to fix it? [12:03] If i recall correctly, i belive it was my attempt to update it to the "latest" driver lol [12:03] gnask: OK, we'll discount all that and just install the one that looks to be correct [12:04] Yes [12:06] gnask: at least at my end the kernel's r8169 driver claims to support your device. Your device is 10ec:8168 and if you do "modinfo -F alias r8169 | grep 8168" you should see a match for "pci:v000010ECd00008168sv*sd*bc*sc*i*" [12:06] modinfo: ERROR: Module r8169 not found. [12:07] gnask: but apparently, according to the notes in "apt-cache show r8168-dkms" suggest the kernel's r8169 doesn't fully support all devices correctly [12:07] gnask: huh!?! [12:07] gnask@gnaskBuntu:~$ modinfo -F alias r8169 | grep 8168 [12:07] modinfo: ERROR: Module r8169 not found. [12:07] gnask: OK, let me go check if your kernel version should have that module. This could be the issue [12:07] Oh ok ok! Much thanks for your time. [12:09] gnask: is this package installed? "apt list linux-modules-extra-5.13.0-20-generic" [12:09] Yes it is [12:09] you should see "installed" there [12:09] [installed,automatic] [12:10] OK, so that should install the file /lib/modules/5.13.0-20-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko [12:10] and modinfo should have reported from that [12:10] check once again "modinfo r8169" [12:10] linux-modules-extra-5.13.0-20-generic/impish-updates,now 5.13.0-20.20 amd64 [installerat,automatiskt] [12:10] modinfo: ERROR: Module r8169 not found. [12:10] if that fails do "sudo depmod" [12:11] then do the "modinfo r8169" again [12:11] gnask@gnaskBuntu:~$ sudo depmod [12:11] gnask@gnaskBuntu:~$ modinfo r8169 [12:11] modinfo: ERROR: Module r8169 not found.
