[00:01] <Sven_vB> hi :)
[00:07] <Sven_vB> I'd like to prepare my Ubuntu focal install to be able to boot even if all the disk partitions are read-only. my /tmp already is a tmpfs and I have no swap. I'll probably need to make /var/log a tmpfs as well, right? what else to prepare?
[00:08] <sarnold> Sven_vB: it might be easier to just use ubuntu core
[00:08] <Sven_vB> sarnold, I'll try and have a look
[00:10] <Sven_vB> can that run on usual desktop PCs, too?
[00:10] <sarnold> as far as I know, yeah, that should work
[00:12] <Sven_vB> nice. I just read it gets 10 years of updates. that seems better than LTS
[00:17] <sarnold> you can buy ESM support for the LTS releases, after they reach the end of their free support period
[00:20] <Sven_vB> yeah, I'm trying to stay in free tier though.
[00:22] <yukiup> do you think Lubuntu will change the icons on the right side to white?
[00:22] <yukiup> maybe in future releases
[00:23] <oerheks> yes no maybe
[00:23] <oerheks> pick one
[00:24] <Bashing-om> yukiup: Is there no theme in Lubuntu to have the icons as white ?
[00:24] <yukiup> i'm lazy
[00:33] <andrea> Hi, anyone online? I'm in trouble with wine,I have this error, trying to install abaqus :internet explorer 10 or later is required to run the installer wine
[00:33] <andrea> can i solve?
[00:35] <sarnold> andrea: hmm, you may do better in a wine support community; maybe #winehq? I don't know if they'll support 'distro' wine or not
[00:35] <andrea> Sure, I asked there too
[00:36] <andrea> but thanks
[00:36] <sarnold> aww :( bummer
[00:39] <andrea> I need this program for my university, hope I'll find the solution.
[00:40] <sarnold> andrea: you could run windows in a VM in virt-manager or lxd or something if you can't get wine to go
[00:42] <VMGuy23> See if you can find an installer for Internet Explorer 10 and run it in wine
[00:56] <Intelo> I added additional ssd. I had full disk encryption enabled when I installed xubuntu. a) how can I add this new ssd to be encrypted and auto munt with same passwored at boot? b) how much slowness does encryption mades?
[01:02] <andrea> maybe it's better to use a VM
[01:03] <VMGuy23> andrea: Can you not find an IE10 installer?
[01:03] <andrea> I'm trying to install abaqus and it tells me to install IE10
[01:03] <andrea> I'm not sure if it is asking me to install IE10 on wine?
[01:04] <VMGuy23> Yes, try find an installer for IE10 and use it.
[01:04] <andrea> ok
[01:04] <VMGuy23> Install IE10 on wine
[01:10] <andrea> Now I have this error: Create ProcessFailed for abaqus..... with error2 : File not found
[02:47] <Gamah> why does text feel so big in ubuntu compared to when i had windows on this machine?
[02:48] <Gamah> the accessability setting for "big text" is not on
[02:49] <oerheks> gnome-tweak-tool gives font settings, and scaling
[02:49] <oerheks> !info gnome-tweak-tool
[02:50] <puff> Good evening, I want to download an ISO for 20.04.03 LTS.  When I use the standard download page it tells me 12+ hours.  I'm in Pittsburgh, PA, which mirror would be best for me to download from?
[02:50] <oerheks> !info gnome-tweaks
[02:50] <sarnold> maybe something like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1870736  ?
[02:50] <oerheks> puff, torrents could be the fastest way
[02:51] <oerheks> https://torrent.ubuntu.com/tracker_index
[02:51] <puff> oerheks: Thanks.
[02:51] <sarnold> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirror.math.princeton.edu-release is princeton over on that edge of the country? 20gbps might work nice..
[02:52] <Gamah> scaling factor 0.7 feels a lot better, thanks oerheks!
[02:52] <puff> oerheks: That's working pretty fast, thanks.  What I wonder is why the main download page doesn't have a simpler way to do this.
[02:53] <oerheks> else the edu indeed http://mirror.cs.pitt.edu/ubuntu/releases/focal/
[02:54] <sarnold> puff: from https://ubuntu.com/download look for "ubuntu desktop" then look for "torrent" and follow the nearby link "see our alternative downloads" and then there's links to torrents
[02:54] <oerheks> puff, there are tons of pages, and the main should do fine.. sometimes restarting a download solves slow speeds, more than one hour is weird.
[03:01] <puff> Hm, it looks like the ISO I downloaded via torrent doesn't match the sha1 sum....
[03:01] <puff> I went to https://torrent.ubuntu.com/tracker_index and selected b26c81363ac1a236765385a702aec107a49581b5ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso
[03:02] <oerheks> there is only SHA256SUMS
[03:02] <puff> Ah wait, the footnote says it's only "info hash: SHA1 hash of the "info" section of the metainfo (*.torrent)"
[03:04] <oerheks> grep 20.04.3.iso SHA256SUMS | tee /proc/self/fd/2 | sha256sum --check -
[03:05] <oerheks> or sha256sums <iso>
[03:06] <puff> Cool, the sha256sum matches.
[03:07] <oerheks> have fun!
[03:07] <sarnold> the pedant in me would like you to also check the gpg sigs :)
[03:12] <Afdal> Can someone direct me how to grab a package from official repositories -before- bionic
[03:13] <Afdal> The repos haven't been completely poofed yet have they
[03:13] <Hash> What do you mean?
[03:14] <Afdal> Are the xenial repos gone forever now?
[03:14] <Afdal> I'm trying to avoid compiling an old version of a program I need
[03:14] <Unit193> What package?
[03:14] <oerheks> old versions repo
[03:14] <Afdal> <.<
[03:14] <Afdal> mame
[03:14] <Afdal> I need the version that used to be offered on Xenial
[03:15] <Hash> Is it too difficult to build now?
[03:15] <Hash> Or do you have a system you can't update anymore?
[03:15] <Afdal> I tried compiling it myself but I keep running into problems
[03:15] <Afdal> No nothing like that, I just need that particular version to do some things
[03:15] <oerheks> https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/allpackages
[03:15] <Unit193> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mame/0.160-0ubuntu1
[03:16] <Hash> https://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[03:16] <Afdal> thank you very much :)
[03:16] <Afdal> I guess xenial has just been removed from the main package search page
[03:16] <Hash> I see. I got the images link
[03:17] <Hash> I looked on packags.ubuntu.com and saw no xenial and just a link to old.
[03:17] <Afdal> uh wait I get an error
[03:17] <Afdal> two or more packages specified (mame xenial)
[03:17] <Afdal> is this page just an error for anyone else https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/mame
[03:17] <Afdal> hmm all those pages are errors actually
[03:18] <Afdal> so maybe the repo has been nuked, but the webpage just isn't wiped yet
[03:18] <Hash> As i mentioned, I don't see xenial on PUC
[03:18] <Afdal> PUC?
[03:18] <Afdal> oh
[03:18] <Hash> packages ubuntu com
[03:18] <Afdal> yeah :'(
[03:18] <Hash> like PDO, packages debian org
[03:19] <Afdal> Well dangit
[03:19] <Afdal> Guess I'm gonna have to figure out these compiling problems after all
[03:19] <Afdal> Why didn't I save my darn binary from my previous system ;_;7
[03:19] <oerheks> mame mame-extra and mame-tools
[03:21] <Hash> Well you know your mame roms have to match the engine version
[03:21] <Afdal> yeah those mostly do, still
[03:21] <Hash> so that's another possible complication. Unless you know how to patch your roms
[03:22] <Afdal> and I can use clrmamepro occasionally to resync them properly
[03:22] <Hash> Ok
[03:22] <Afdal> What if I like... used a buntu 16.04 livecd
[03:22] <Hash> I wonder if mame has snap
[03:22] <Afdal> Could I grab it off the repo then?
[03:22] <Afdal> Or are the 16.04 repos completely dead?
[03:23] <oerheks> live iso, and the old-versions trick, could work.
[03:23] <Hash> does the iso ship with universe/multiverse?
[03:23] <oerheks> !eolupgrade
[03:23] <oerheks> this part >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#Update_sources.list
[03:23] <Afdal> old-versions trick?
[03:23] <Afdal> I just wanna grab a binary or .deb file
[03:23] <oerheks> deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse
[03:24] <oerheks> or browse ; http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[03:24] <Afdal> lol where is xenial among that list
[03:24] <oerheks> http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mame/
[03:24] <Afdal> is it too old for support but not old enough to be archived in old-releases yet?
[03:25] <oerheks> yes, for scientific reasons.
[03:25] <oerheks> it is *just 1 server*
[03:25] <Afdal> o:
[03:27] <oerheks> i see no xenial ? http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[03:27] <sarnold> oerheks: probably because xenial's still under commercial support
[03:29] <Afdal> It is now Schroedinger's release
[03:31] <Bashing-om> Afdal: 16.04 at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ . Scroll down :D
[03:32] <Afdal> those are disc images
[03:32] <Afdal> I'm lookin for a package
[03:32] <Afdal> and I don't think mame is usually included on live images...
[03:35] <oerheks> indeed, it is in universe
[03:35] <Afdal> @_@?
[03:36] <Afdal> w-where's that
[03:36] <oerheks> what version of mame exactly? 0.182, 0.188 ?
[03:37] <Afdal> v0.160
[03:38] <oerheks> Wily version ..
[03:38] <Afdal> nah it's Xenial
[03:42] <oerheks> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/201707681/mame_0.160-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/mame/0.160-0ubuntu1
[03:43] <oerheks> i would just run a vm with xenial and old-versions
[03:45] <Afdal> aha, thank you
[03:48] <Unit193> I thought I linked that a while ago. :3

[07:01] <lordofgibbons> I installed a new nvidia GPU on my computer today, and now video frame rates are very slow now when playing a video. I set the refresh rate to 60fps in Nvidia Xorg Settings, but no luck
[07:01] <lordofgibbons> What can I do to fix this?
[07:03] <oerheks> What new nvidia GPU exactly?
[07:04] <lordofgibbons> new to me, not a new model. The RTX 2080 Super
[07:05] <oerheks> nice, such card need a lot of power too
[07:06] <oerheks> 250W TDP
[07:07] <oerheks> and your monitor, faster than 2 ms?
[07:07] <lordofgibbons> I'm not sure, but it's a 60fps monitor
[07:07] <lordofgibbons> It worked fine with the old AMD GPU I had

[10:27] <the_daemon_barbe> hello everyone
[10:38] <thedaemonbarber> hey guys i need some help
[11:10] <manwhowouldbekin> Greetings all! Would this be a good place to ask a question about compiling a package on Ubuntu and it not finding libgccjit, despite the latter being installed on the system?
[11:11] <TJ-> manwhowouldbekin: you likely need the headers from its related -dev package
[11:12] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: The one I have installed is called libgccjit-10-dev. Is that what you mean?
[11:12] <TJ-> assuming the libgccjit that is installed is also version 10
[11:13] <TJ-> manwhowouldbekin: what ubuntu release is it?
[11:13] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: 20.04. I didn't know there was a separate non-dev libjccgit. How does one install it?
[11:14] <TJ-> !info libgccjit0 focal
[11:14] <TJ-> !info libgccjit10-dev focal
[11:14] <TJ-> !info libgccjit-10-dev focal
[11:15] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: I see. Let me try.
[11:15] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: libgccjit0 is already the newest version (10.3.0-1ubuntu1~20.04).
[11:15] <TJ-> you need that last one
[11:16] <TJ-> libgccjit-10-dev
[11:16] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: libgccjit-10-dev is already the newest version (10.3.0-1ubuntu1~20.04).
[11:17] <TJ-> manwhowouldbekin: in which case you'll need to figure out why is isn't being found. If the source uses autotools then maybe you need to help the ./configure script find it
[11:17] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: Yes, most likely using autotools. Building Emacs.
[11:18] <TJ-> does the configure log give indications of it looking for libgccjit ?
[11:20] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: something like this https://pastebin.com/rjdcJeYv
[11:22] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: There is also this: LIBGCCJIT_CFLAGS=''LIBGCCJIT_LIBS=''LDFLAGS=' '
[11:26] <manwhowouldbekin> TJ: Alright, settings this seems to have moved me past the sticking point! export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-10 CXX=/usr/bin/gcc-10
[11:27] <CoolerX> Hi
[11:27] <CoolerX> do you know where I can find ppd files?
[11:27] <CoolerX> does the cups package include any ppd files for various printers?
[11:31] <gebbione> is there a command that shows power consumption by process?
[11:31] <gebbione> or app
[11:32] <TJ-> !info powertop | gebbione
[11:36] <gebbione> interesting do you know if any sort of grouping can be done? like all instances of a program together?
[11:36] <TJ-> gebbione: you'd have to read its docs

[12:59] <lotuspsychje> !ask | elhoir
[13:00] <elhoir> currently using Ubuntu 21.10 with 5.13 kernel. Everything runs ok. Upgraded to stock 5.15.1 kernel. lspci shows my audio card (emu20k2, creative labs x-fi titanium) but pulseaudio (15.0) does not. Downgraded to 5.13 and audio is back again. Any idea?
[13:00] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, i was writing xD
[13:04] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: is that kernel 5.15 from !mainline you are testing?
[13:04] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, yeah
[13:05] <elhoir> from here to be more precise https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.15.1/
[13:05] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: boot into 5.15 then share your dmesg in a pastebin, so volunteers can take a look for you
[13:05] <elhoir> -generic one
[13:06] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, ok, give me some minutes to reboot
[13:06] <lotuspsychje> sure thing
[13:14] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, back, here is your dmesg -- https://pastebin.com/2uXxVpu2
[13:14] <lotuspsychje> tnx elhoir

[13:18] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: can you pastebin; sudo lshw -C sound , and sudo lshw -C video please?
[13:19] <elhoir> for sound -- https://pastebin.com/X1HwU5mE
[13:20] <elhoir> for video -- https://pastebin.com/ByeHMkXP
[13:21] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: not seeing some issues myself right away, maybe someone else does?
[13:21] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: does pavucontrol see your soundcard on 5.15?
[13:22] <RiFo> hello, i got a problem i am trying to receive a folder using rsync from a remote ubuntu server (onto another ubuntu machine) and rsync keeps stopping during the first step "receiving incremental file list". Any idea what the reson could be?
[13:22] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, nope pavucontrol does not see it
[13:23] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: ok, maybe you can ask the #ubuntu-kernel crew first, before we consider to file a new !bug
[13:23] <elhoir> ok i will
[13:25] <lotuspsychje> RiFo: you might wanna try to ask at the experts in #ubuntu-server if you like
[13:28] <lotuspsychje> ioria: one for you maybe; <elhoir> currently using Ubuntu 21.10 with 5.13 kernel. Everything runs ok. Upgraded to stock 5.15.1 kernel. lspci shows my audio card (emu20k2, creative labs x-fi titanium) but pulseaudio (15.0) does not. Downgraded to 5.13 and audio is back again. Any idea?

[13:31] <lotuspsychje> yeah, me neither
[13:31] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, ioria thanks anyway
[13:31] <ioria> elhoir, why are you using 5.15 ?
[13:31] <RupertEverton> Hello. Does anyone know where to find the config file for the grub passphrase prompt? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=99-reboot-grub-passphrase.png
[13:31] <elhoir> ioria, it has been marked as LTS and i a bit bleeding-edge :P
[13:32] <elhoir> im*
[13:32] <ioria> i see
[13:32] <ioria> elhoir, is that a vm, right ?
[13:32] <elhoir> nope
[13:32] <elhoir> real hardware
[13:33] <gebbione> are there any other commands to clean up working files from the main HD such as -> sudo apt-get autoremove and similar?
[13:33] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: i see your medion mobo firmware is from 2010, maybe see if there are more recent updates
[13:33] <lotuspsychje> gebbione: bleachbit and stacer shred a lot of files
[13:33] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, nope, no updates sadly
[13:34] <elhoir> i have searched million times for that
[13:34] <leftyfb> elhoir: was your system running fine before?
[13:34] <elhoir> leftyfb, yes, its running correctly with 5.13 kernel
[13:34] <leftyfb> elhoir: then go back to 5.13
[13:35] <leftyfb> elhoir: if you're trying to help debug issues with 5.15, feel free to file bugs or go to #ubuntu-kernel
[13:35] <elhoir> yeah, well... err.... i prefer to "fix" problems :
[13:35] <elhoir> :P
[13:35] <leftyfb> elhoir: you have no problems with the supported kernel
[13:35] <elhoir> i already did
[13:36] <ioria> elhoir, be sure pulseaudio is running; maybe try to restart it : pulseaudio -k
[13:37] <elhoir> also noticed ACPI reboot does not work, had to power off via button, but thats another issue
[13:37] <elhoir> ioria, it is
[13:38] <elhoir> ioria, pavucontrol shows my other audio devices so pulseaudio is running
[13:38] <ioria> gebbione, there is systemsettings -> file history & trash ;  you can also use (20.04 and above) sudo apt autopurge
[13:38] <elhoir> its just my main audio card
[13:39] <ioria> elhoir, the pulse version is  1:15.0+dfsg1-1ubuntu2 ?
[13:40] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[13:40] <Guest17> Hi all, is there any specific Ubuntu MaaS help channel?
[13:40] <elhoir> ioria, yes it is
[13:41] <VIA> JAH BLESS
[13:42] <Guest17> Has anyone tried to deploy esxi with Maas?
[13:42] <lotuspsychje> VIA: stop that please, you have been warned for random nonsense before
[13:42] <ioria> elhoir, if you know what are you  doing, you can try the new pulse ver (1:15.0+dfsg1-1ubuntu2.1) in -proposed
[13:43] <lotuspsychje> good idea ioria

[14:01] <elhoir> thx anyway
[14:01] <elhoir> #ubuntu-kernel channel is quiet
[14:02] <ioria> elhoir,  for sure, this is not good :   [22.236280] Call Trace:  (your syslog )
[14:03] <Guest17> specifically with version 7.0u3
[14:03] <lotuspsychje> elhoir: another idea crossing my mind, is testing kernel(s) versions in between 5.13 and 5.15 maybe you can help rule out things for the kernel crew
[14:03] <elhoir> ioria, and this one [   21.838167] snd_ctxfi 0000:04:00.0: chip 20K2 model Unknown (1102:0044) is found
[14:03] <elhoir> ?

[14:04] <Guest17> yep i know ehe but having some issue with the esxi deployment
[14:04] <elhoir> lotuspsychje, might be yeah
[14:04] <Guest17> specifically the joining to the vcenter
[14:06] <elhoir> ioria, crash is here i think -- [   22.223684] RIP: 0010:srcimp_next_conj+0x31/0x40 [snd_ctxfi]
[14:07] <elhoir> but... it is detected when system is up... so its not "crashed" really... i have not enough knowledge...
[14:07] <ioria> elhoir, the crash seems to be in a lot of places;  dmesg | grep 'Call Trace:'
[14:10] <ioria> afk
[14:10] <elhoir> why is it listed in lspci then?
[14:17] <gneeriiloeepdeer> I want to reduce an audio file's volume by 50%, so by default is 50% quieter than the original file (I hope what I mean is clear). Im not asking how to use the volume button.
[14:18] <gneeriiloeepdeer> what app or command could I use? ffmpeg?
[14:20] <christoph42> Hello there, I have a HP Pavilion Desktop PC and would like to install Ubuntu Studio there. I managed to boot into the Live system from USB and when I run the installation program, it stops when the bootloader grub should be installed with an error message. I won't work onto the NVMe SSD or on the HD SATA drive ...
[14:20] <christoph42> This is the error: http://herrvoelker.de/tmp/photo_2021-11-10_11-55-43.jpg
[14:20] <christoph42> grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --force
[14:20] <christoph42> Error code 1
[14:21] <christoph42> Any help is very appreciated :)
[14:25] <gneeriiloeepdeer> if I dont use ffmpeg, is there any gui that does this?
[14:27] <christoph42> gneeriiloeepdeer, maybe "audacity"?
[14:27] <christoph42> and what do you mean by 50%? Half the loudness? That would be like -10 dB
[14:28] <brontosaurusrex> gneeriiloeepdeer: read on 'ebu r128' and implementations of it, then you might see what the question really is
[14:29] <brontosaurusrex> gneeriiloeepdeer: http://peterforgacs.github.io/2018/05/20/Audio-normalization-with-ffmpeg/
[14:36] <gneeriiloeepdeer> brontosaurusrex, not exactly what i was aiming for but still a good idea. Am I getting it right? This is not a standard ffmpeg installation and if I want to reduce a file's volume, I still need to ffmpeg -i input.wav -filter:a "volume=0.5" output.wav...
[14:37] <brontosaurusrex> gneeriiloeepdeer: I guess that will do something yes.
[14:38] <Guest93> did someone run Ubuntu Core 20 with FDE?
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> !ubuntucore | Guest93 see also
[14:42] <Guest93> thanks :)
[14:42] <BluesKaj> gneeriiloeepdeer, you can temporarily reduce the volume in alsamixer
[14:43] <elhoir> BluesKaj, "Im not asking how to use the volume button." :P
[14:46] <BluesKaj> elhoir, ??
[16:05] <pseudonymous> docker keeps failing when trying to open a env-file (permission denied) (`docker create --env-file my-file ...`) -- my user and the docker group owns the file. I suspect snap to be at fault somehow.. ideas ?
[16:05] <Ermine> Hello, I've got another crash today (I've written of crashes last Thursday). I've set up linux-crashdump this time, but it didn't work: there are no new kernel crash dumps at /var/crash and computer didn't reboot
[17:36] <Firefishe> TJ-: Hey TJ!  Thanks for all the great work on #625!  Everything is working nicely!  Just wanted to stop by and say a quick word.  I sleep days and need to get some rest, as I'm overdue.  Anyway, be well and Thank You! :-)
[17:45] <vito_> Salve, ho appena installato una stampante multifunzione epson xp4100 su ubuntu mate18.04 la stampante funziona ma non riesco a far funzionare lo scanner.
[18:24] <brandoneliza> I want something like a clipboard manager but in which I can define user defined strings which do not change for copying and pasting. Is there a ready made one in linux or I have to roll my own?
[18:24] <leftyfb> huh?
[18:25] <brandoneliza> e.g. suppose I use "\pos{(0,0)}" "\command(x,y)" etc. and I want to copy these templates from a list with say a copy button and fill in the data wherever
[18:26] <brandoneliza> the clipboard manager will manage the last 10 terms or so but not user defined stuff
[18:29] <leftyfb> brandoneliza: since I have no idea what you're talking about or your goals, I'm not familiar with anything that does whatever it is you're trying to accomplish
[18:34] <brandoneliza> leftyfb: It is alright. I think someone else understood me and I am trying out their suggestions.
[18:34] <leftyfb> brandoneliza: please don't crosspost
[18:38] <brandoneliza> hmm sorry.
[18:43] <brandoneliza> leftyfb: I feel I multiposted rather than crossposted as I reworded the question each time after a long pause. But there is channel overlap. Sorry.
[18:43] <TJ-> brandoneliza: no worries, it's quiet :) let us know how copyq works for you
[18:44] <MrMobius> I log into my headless ubuntu server with ssh and have a separate windows machine i connect to with google's remote desktop. would it be possible to have windows always running in a vm on ubuntu so i can connect with remote desktop but keep everything else in text mode like it is now?
[18:44] <brandoneliza> TJ-: copyq is awesome but I cant figure out how to not get it to minimise to tray (:
[18:45] <TJ-> brandoneliza: haha!! I'll have a look
[18:45] <brandoneliza> it's like punishment having to maximise the window from tray each time to copy a term
[18:45] <TJ-> brandoneliza: File > Preferences > General > Close when Unfocused ?
[18:46] <tomreyn> MrMobius: yes
[18:47] <tomreyn> MrMobius: you could setup and use kvm / libvirt for this.
[18:47] <brandoneliza> TJ-: yes thank you so much for the inpiration. I found out how not to minimise to tray too in preferences.
[18:47] <tomreyn> MrMobius: there is also a GUI client for it, called virt-manager, which you can run from your desktop, so it's not actually difficult to manage.
[18:49] <TJ-> note: remote virt-manager doesn't allow sending an installer image over the network; it has to be on the remote server and in an existing storage pool, or you need to know the exact remote path for it
[18:49] <TJ-> (this is NOT obvious and not documented!)
[18:49] <tomreyn> hmm yes, good point.
[18:50] <MrMobius> tomreyn, so i could set this up on the command line over ssh? like i was saying, there is no desktop on the linux box. im going to try to run a preconfigured image
[18:52] <tomreyn> MrMobius: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation - pretty old but i assume the >= 18.10 instrctions should still work
[18:52] <brandoneliza> yes TJ- seems like copyq is a hybrid thing. And adding a tab seems to seperate the two this is awesome. Thanks a lot. :)
[18:53] <tomreyn> MrMobius: which ubuntu server version are yuo running there?
[18:54] <TJ-> MrMobius: with libvirt, it has a command-line shell (very cryptic! but usable) called "virsh" but a GUI like virt-manager is definitely going to be easy. With that said though, setting up remote lib-virt with TLS is a challenge even if you're familiar with X509 certificates (you have to create a local Certificate Authority, and issue certificates for server and client, with particular roles)
[18:54] <leftyfb> virt-manager over SSH tunnel
[18:54] <tomreyn> you don't need to do this to use virt-manager though
[18:55] <TJ-> leftyfb: there is that, yes, probablly easier. good point
[18:55] <leftyfb> I do everything over tunnels
[18:55] <TJ-> We use a CA for SSH certs as well
[18:55] <TJ-> saves needing to copy keys all over the place
[18:57] <MrMobius> tomreyn, 21.04
[18:58] <tomreyn> MrMobius: i wouold recommend running an LTS release on a server (21.04 is not)
[18:58] <MrMobius> hmm, im a bit confused to be honest. if i have the server run the vm and the vm can see the internet, i should be able to connect with remote desktop as usual. why do i need certificates and configuration stuff?
[18:59] <tomreyn> you'd need to set up and configure the virtualization environment
[18:59] <MrMobius> tomreyn, makes sense. a compiler toolchain i was using wouldnt run on 20.04 because of some cmake dependency but does on 21.04
[18:59] <tomreyn> you don't need to set up certificates
[19:00] <tomreyn> there are some ppa's providing backports to 20.04 for such situations
[19:01] <MrMobius> tomreyn, ill have a look at the link and see how far i get configuring it on the command line
[19:01] <MrMobius> thanks for your help
[19:02] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[19:02] <brandoneliza> TJ-: any idea by double clicking a termin in copyQ minimises it to tray. That's the only quirk I have left.
[19:04] <brandoneliza> TJ-: found it (i think)
[19:05] <TJ-> brandoneliza: Preferences > History > After item is activated
[19:05] <brandoneliza> Yes. I turned off all those checkboxes. This program is hyper featured :P. Thanks a lot.
[19:06] <brandoneliza> like you can even turn off clipboard tracking in it :D I think I will use this program more and more now that I know about it. Saves a lot of painful repetitive typing.
[19:07] <TJ-> brandoneliza: feature overload :D
[19:07] <brandoneliza> yes and suprising defaults :P

[20:02] <legonick> Anyone have any SNMPv3 experience?  Any idea how to work around "unknown token: createUser" error?
[20:49] <Dr-007> hello, question; ive got a vnc server running in ubuntu which i modified a while ago so when i connect i see the screen thats connected to an actual screen. before my modifications when i'd connect i would get a desktop environment seperated from whats on the actual screen.
[20:50] <Dr-007> my question; id like to have 2 users or 2 vnc servers running so i can connect to the actual screen and connect via a different user or on a different port to get in a seperated screen
[20:50] <Dr-007> any pointers/adivce?
[20:52] <Dr-007> (im reading this now: https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-add-virtual-x11-screen-to-use-via-vnc/ which is kinda what i want, but it seems this gut didnt achieve it)
[20:57] <Dr-007> never mind, i think i got it. i just have to clone the file /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service
[21:02] <Dr-007> i thought i could just start a second vnc server on a different port but there is no display on :1. askubuntu.com says to apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy but some people say it doesnt work if you have a real screen aswell and some say it doesnt work on the latest ubuntu
[21:03] <Dr-007> how can i add a virtual/fake display on :1?
[21:08] <Dr-007> this summarizes it perfectly: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1229168/video-dummy-the-fake-display-with-without-monitor-connected-at-the-same-time
[21:18] <genii> You can use xvfb
[21:19] <genii> !info xvfb
[21:22] <BinarySavior> if nginx is returning 403 to https request, could it be because i messed up iptables?
[21:24] <sonOfRa> That seems unlikely. If you messed up iptables, I would expect no connection being made at all.
[21:25] <Dr-007> genii, thanks im going to google that right now
[21:26] <BinarySavior> sonOfRa, that's what i thought too
[21:30] <Dr-007> BinarySavior, did you redirect traffic to another webserver?
[21:31] <BinarySavior> i edited iptables to try to allow all traffic from my ip
[21:31] <BinarySavior> now my webserver (nginx) only works from my ip
[21:31] <BinarySavior> but it's not on my lan
[21:32] <BinarySavior> it's a VPS on linode.  I used a shell script to ping a dynamic dns fqdn to resolve my current ip address then update iptables accordingly
[21:32] <Dr-007> can you flush the iptables to open it all up for a moment
[21:33] <Dr-007> then check if you still have the 403 error
[21:33] <Dr-007> if so, you can rule out iptables
[21:33] <Dr-007> google tells me 403 is more likely a permissions error on your webserver
[21:33] <Dr-007> as in chown -R www-data:www-data /wwwfolder
[21:34] <Dr-007> or whatever user and group your using
[21:34] <BinarySavior> it's a gunicorn socket
[21:34] <Dr-007> (or chmod)
[21:34] <Dr-007> a what? i dont know what that is
[21:35] <Dr-007> ah
[21:36] <Dr-007> iptables are hard. if there's a chain before your added line then it could be that it never reaches your new entry
[21:44] <irwie> hello
[21:46] <coz_> ircuser-1, hey
[21:46] <coz_> sorry
[21:50] <Dr-007> genii, do you have any experience with xvfb? it starts and all but vnc isnt able to bind to it: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VHGWmY734X/
[21:53] <genii> Dr-007: I used it previously on some headless servers, but did not coeect to them with VNV, but tunneling X over ssh
[21:53] <genii> *VNC ...rather
[21:55] <Dr-007> genii, i changed :99 display number to :1 and now it seems to work
[21:55] <Dr-007> i havent connected yet tho
[21:55] <Dr-007> but it looks promising
[21:55] <Dr-007> so thanks for your advice
[21:56] <genii> Dr-007: Glad to be of assistance
[21:59] <RoyK> hi all. I setup a laptop with ubuntu 20.04 on zfs. This is fine, but I wanted to upgrade it to 20.10 and forward to 21.10 to do some testing. I accidentially upgraded it all the way to 22.04, which isn't really stable. I can revert to 20.04 in grub with zfs, which is fine, but how can I remove the newer snapshots/clones? Their names aren't very descriptive to put it mildly…
[21:59] <BinarySavior> the problem was with SSL cert
[21:59] <BinarySavior> now it's working
[22:13] <Dr-007> BinarySavior, nice
[22:24] <Dr-007> does anyone know how to start X within Xvfb? currently im running it then connect to it with VNC but it doesnt show any desktop environment
[22:24] <Dr-007> so im thinking i should attach X
[22:25] <Dr-007> but googling this is kinda hard since its just a letter
[22:42] <Dr-007> genii-core, weeeee, it works. if you're interested. this script starts Xvfb with a gnome-session and x11vnc server: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/vTfGh8pGzm/
[22:50] <genii-core> Dr-007: Excellent
[23:36] <Dr-007> whats the name of the application that does network sharing under linux again?
[23:36] <Dr-007> i forgot
[23:37] <sarnold> iptables? nftables?
[23:38] <oerheks> ics
[23:40] <Dr-007> its samba
[23:40] <Dr-007> thanks tho
[23:40] <oerheks> samba is file sharing, not networking
[23:40] <Dr-007> but while googling it i saw that ubuntu has file sharing 'internal' now
[23:40] <Dr-007> oerheks, yeah i shouldve probably specified that
[23:41] <Dr-007> but is the shipped network file sharing any good?
[23:41] <leftyfb> Dr-007: I think the sharing ubuntu has by default is webdav, which is garbage
[23:41] <Dr-007> ah, ok
[23:42] <oerheks> gnome-user-share = webdav indeed; https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/sharing-personal.html.en
[23:43] <kaari> I'm running on Ubuntu 20.04. Does anyone have any experience on using Chromium to cast the desktop to Chromecast? Everything else works just fine, but I'm not able to transfer the audio.
[23:44] <leftyfb> kaari: try #chromium
[23:44] <kaari> Thanks, that's a good idea
