[00:39] oerheks I just saw your message. Unfortunately I've hit a brick wall with mkchromecast. https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast/issues/357 I have the same issue as the OP, but I'm a newbie when it comes to computers and I couldn't figure out the fix. [00:39] Issue 357 in muammar/mkchromecast "Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 Cannot open display :0.0+0,0" [Open] [02:00] I am trying to upgrade from ubuntu 18 to 20, but when I execute `sudo do-release-upgrade` it says "Please install all available updates [...] before upgrading." The 2 updates are for libgnutls30 and libsrt1.4-gnutls [02:01] sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade # and reboot [02:01] When I try to update/upgrade those, it just says they have unmet dependencies and recommends they stay at the current version. [02:01] Hm ok, I will try that [02:01] apt install -f # should be in that error message, no? [02:01] !yy.mm | Guest46 [02:01] Guest46: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [02:02] 18.04 to 20.04, my bad [02:03] oerheks I tried using -f, no that was not in the error message [02:03] Sounds like you maybe installed some things from external repositories [02:04] ..if so you can ppa-purge to remove those, upgrade, then add them back in after [02:04] hm, maybe. Is it possible to trace that? [02:05] Have y'all been hearing about apt getting unauthorized github URLs? [02:05] apt-cache policy [02:05] sem, no. [02:06] hear-say is mostly FUD [02:06] I am going to try and install the fixed version from the ppa, but wondering what the procedure is for getting the fix in the normal repos? Maybe it is already fixed?

[02:47] gdb-multiarch reports "unknown architecture: arm" [02:47] afaik there's no 'arm' arch, there's armel, armhf, aarch64 [02:47] ubuntu doesn't do armel [02:47] F14t_Looks: is it connected via jtag? serial? ssh? I've never tried anything this fancy :) [02:47] sarnold, +1 [02:48] You know how to get GDB to print a list of its supported architectures? [02:49] USB-connected debugger. "single wire debug" protocol, SWD. (The debugger connection works fine. I can use it to program the target.) [02:51] oerheks: No info for gdb-multiarch. And gdb-multiarch is installed (so says apt -qq list gdb-multiarch). [02:56] man there's way fewer files in gdb-multiarch than I expected [02:56] thanks for the single-wire debug :) I've not heard of that before [02:56] uh huh...seems like, doesn't it? [02:56] I saw a report that cross-GDB now has to be installed by hand now. [02:56] https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-to-install-arm-none-eabi-gdb-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-focal-fossa/ [02:56] I was really hoping somebody in this channel would tell me that wasn't the case... [02:58] sarnold: yeah. Know what's easier than hooking up 6 different connections to 6 IC-specific pins for debugging? "single wire" is a serious selling point. (it also needs a clock line. truth in advertising only goes so far I guess...) [03:01] hrmph.

[03:07] Right. I saw that. I think the gdb command was "show configuration" [03:22] So, what's the moral of the GDB story? [03:22] If I want cross-GDB I have to install the arm.com binary package by hand? [03:22] https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads [03:22] Or build it myself? (Hmm.

[03:30] Guest68: | are alternations -- one of the choices within the commas will satisfy that block [03:30] Hi! I'm running Impish and the 6.1.26 version of VirtualBox won't allow me to look for a ISO image to add it to the machine because nothing is clickable in the fil chooser window. [03:31] They haven't released a deb for Impish yet so I can't upgrade to 6.1.28 to check if the problem is solved. [03:32] Unless there's a Nightly PPA somewhere for VirtualBox.

[03:46] I'm pretty sure oerheks uses qemu/kvm through libvirt, not virtualbox [03:47] i cannot confirm it, indeed [03:48] Here's the output I get when the file chooser window appears to find the file: https://pastebin.com/xfAuicY5 [03:48] is this on wayland or xorg?

[04:13] Bashing-om: x11 [04:16] Umeaboy: Then yeah - confirms on Xorg :) [04:17] What's next?

[10:09] secureboot should be oke, still you can disable this to see if this makes a change [10:09] ok i need to check what the above means [10:10] should i output some grab config?

It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [10:12] see your bios [10:18] fast boot disabled [10:18] not sure how to see in the bios if it is UEFI [10:18] oh wait i see storage boo option control -> UEFI Only [10:18] so i guess it is UEFI [10:19] oke, does disabling fastboot solve it? [10:19] it is not enabled [10:25] gebbione: did you interrupt any updates, e.g. did you forcibly shut down while unattended upgrades were running? If so, you should "chroot" into your installation from the live cd, and run `apt full-upgrade` to complete the updates [10:26] alkisg, i cloned a disk from NAND to NVME and using it but with both disks the ethernet does not work [10:26] also not sure why one block of ram is not recognised, it is not the RAM, it is the board because if i swap them the block works [10:27] but always only one [10:27] i see the board has two BIOS updates [10:27] maybe they will fix the problem? [10:28] i ll reboot from a live USB and see but for the ethernet it should just work really [10:28] gebbione: what is the output of `uname -a` from the live cd, and what is it from the booted disk? [10:29] checking , will take a few minutes === Andrew_ is now known as AndrewYu [10:33] from disk -> Linux machineName 5.4.0-90-generic #101-Ubuntu SMP Friday Oct .... x84_64 ... GNU/Linux - i guess the time is off as it is thursday here [10:34] hi. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I am interested in changing the login screen if that's possible. I have found different methods searching online, though I'm not sure what is most current or "canonical" method (pun intended). FWIW I am using i3wm as well. [10:39] from usb -> 5.11.0-27-generic #29~20.04.1-Ubuntu ... augusti 11 === oakyy is now known as oaky [10:45] alkisg, so different kernels, does that make really a difference? [10:46] gebbione: yes, it's possible. Try to use the same kernel. [10:47] i need to connect it to update it :) [10:48] maybe that bios update fixes things.. [10:48] but it is weird the usb gives a higher kernel [10:56] is evolution really the only open source mail client for linux that works with exchange/oauth2? [10:57] what on ubuntu handles creating the /etc/resolv.conf file? [11:06] do not edit /etc/resolv.conf, but /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head , after restarting the service it will be populated , one of the many howto's https://www.tecmint.com/set-permanent-dns-nameservers-in-ubuntu-debian/ [11:06] alkisg, if i run an update on my ubuntu it does not see the new kernel versions and does not offer to upgrade it. Shouldn't this happen automatically? [11:07] gebbione: if that's 20.04, run: sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04 [11:07] It'll get you the 5.11 kernel after reboot [11:08] thank you, lets see if that fixes the ethernet [11:08] i plugged in the wifi to have connection from it for now [11:09] about the ram not being recognised, one slot works but not the other in dual channel, what can i check apart from updating the BIOS ? [11:09] nothing, update that bios. it is of no use looking further untill you do. [11:10] about the kernel will it become effecting only after reboot? [11:10] or wait it is asking for it [11:10] going to run that first [11:12] kernel update fixed it [11:12] thank you [11:18] hey, how can I kill my kde desktop session via ssh? basically, like logging out? [11:20] kquitapp5 plasmashell seems to work half-way [11:28] cbreak: systemctl --user stop user@XXXX. ? [11:39] Is it possible to boot with wifi off by default? I have done this with bluetooth by modifiying /etc/bluetooth/main.conf but can't figure it out with wifi. Using 20.04 [11:43] Guest573: there's a service that remembers the setting in rfkill and sets it, so "rfkill block X" then after a reboot that setting would be applied [11:44] so is it acceptable to have a script run at shutdown that would do that, or is there a more orthodox approach? [11:53] so i update my MOBO bios, now the full ram is recognised but ethernet is not working again and WIFI settings are forgotten :/ [11:53] damn [11:59] restarting what service? [11:59] I didn't say I needed to change resolv, I need to know what sets it so I can refresh it entirely to reflect new dhcp settings [11:59] gebbione: ethernet not working as in the pci device is not detected, the driver not loaded, or configuring the interface fails somehow (how)? [12:00] gebbione: and which wifi serttings are being lost? [12:07] ist here a partiuclar reason all latest ubuntu relases misuse systemd-resolved, forcing the `~.` search domain to be set on all DHCP managed interfaces? === rexbinary_ is now known as rexbinary [12:13] open [12:14] is there a mailing list where I could ask that question in a more directed manner? [12:20] Hi Everyone, I have Dell XPS 15, Ubuntu 20.04, when I lock screen, the WIFI turns off, how can I disable this? [12:24] tomreyn, using network manager (ie click on the right top) i have no ethernet connection or device showing. Also Wifi I had set it up in a previous session, added the password and it would not connect on its own when i re-enabled wifi. FYI it is a Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 and i just updated the BIOS, the memory was not fully recognised before but now it is fine. As suggested by @alkisg i had already run sudo a [12:24] pt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04 and this had fixed the ethernet temporarily but it is not turning on again now [12:25] bluetooth is on by default when i boot, so another thing i might disable in the future [12:25] i wonder if something wireless related gets in the way [12:27] gebbione: NM by default is disabled from managing wired ethernet devices ! [12:30] TJ-, just for clarity. I have never had the ethernet disabled when i boot up unless a connection problem exists and it would auto-connect. I call the tooling that does this and shows its status network manager but I might be wrong ... it is just the on the top right where the networking information is displayed but not present right now [12:32] gebbione: on desktops Ubuntu uses NetworkManager but on 'server' installs uses systemd-networkd. For NetworkManager Ubuntu ships a file that disables managing wired links: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf [12:35] so , I googled and found this command `apt rdepends ` I want to read about it to understand what it does. Neither man apt not apt --help shows that the rdepends switch? why? [12:35] i just run - lash -C network and shows the Realtec controller as unclaimed, investigating [12:36] might need to install an extra driver [12:41] masber: rdpends comes from and is part of "apt-cache" - see "man apt-cache" - it reports reverse dependencies of a package (that is, Depends, Recommends, Suggests) [12:41] Hi Everyone, I have Dell XPS 15, Ubuntu 20.04, when I lock screen, the WIFI turns off, how can I disable this? [12:41] gebbione: aha! that'd cause a problem for sure. You've likely got a DKMS out-of-tree driver package for it that didnt' build successfully with the latest kernel [12:42] Guest71: That does sound abnormal but, it could be due to some power-saving settings [12:42] Guest71: have you added any tools like laptop-mode-tools, or changed any power settings recently? [12:43] TJ-, should i install the driver? the driver says up to kernels 5.6 but i have a 5.11 now [12:43] if its so clever than apt rdepends means apt-cache rdepends... then, why is it not so clever with man or --help? I just dont understand this nonesense [12:43] actually i have a 5.4 [12:43] not sure why [12:43] i will rerun the kernel update [12:43] it is just not consistent [12:43] TJ- ok got it, I have TLP, i'll check, thanks [12:44] masber: you'd have to ask the Debian apt team [12:44] would that be a wise thing to do? ie run - sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04 - again? [12:45] gebbione: no, first identify how it should be configured. Did that interface work under an earlier kernel for example? If so, that tells us there should still be a driver available [12:46] TJ-, it works only when i run a live usb disk, then i did run the install of the above package and it worked suddenly. But after i update the bios (and this to me is totally unrelated to the driver) it is back to not working and the kernel is 5.4 [12:46] i could try installing the driver from reattach [12:47] gebbione: does it have any networking, via Wifi for example, so we can collect some info from it? [12:48] driver installation worked [12:48] i had yes but looks fine now with the driver from reattach [12:48] i will just reboot that machine to double check it stays ok [12:50] nice all sorted [12:51] going to attempt fast boot configuration now [12:51] fastboot is a no no, secureboot should be oke [12:51] !uefi [12:51] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware.

I just went around and killed all the things :) [12:53] apparently the ram is going slower than its declared speed ... 2667 instead of 3600 [12:56] gebbione: 3600 is much faster than DDR4 spec allows [12:56] you'd need overclocking, or at least XMP for reaching those frequencies [12:56] did you update your bios yet??? [12:56] and even then it's a gamble if your CPU / Mainboard / ... supports it without crashing [12:57] if not, have fun with all sorts of issues.

[14:08] i.e. entering it on the text screen [14:10] if this also doesn't work: all you really need to know there is that you're definitely at the passphrase prompt, maybe there could be another way to signal that (LED, audio etc.) [14:10] merpnderp, does your BIOS give an option, what screen/ext screen to be primairy? [14:11] merpnderp: you could add a key-file to the LUKS container, put it on an external USB device, ensure a keyscript reader is used, and then you just plug it in (Can do that easily with a Yubikey generating a key too) === Guest1118 is now known as Znevna [14:29] exit === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [14:56] Can anyone explain me line 38 to 61 here on focal : https://github.com/eilandert/dockerized/blob/master/base/Dockerfile-focal ? [14:57] Good morning. I recently upgraded from xubuntu 18.04 to stock ubuntu 20.04.3. I seem to be getting this random "boop" sounds. How do I figure out where they're coming from? [14:59] Hello, how is /tmp/ handled in ubuntu? [15:00] puff: 'boop' ?! [15:02] mithrin: quite well. [15:03] mithrin: it's a tmpfs by default, if that's what you mean [15:04] mithrin: systemctl cat systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer [15:04] mithrin: systemctl cat systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service [15:04] mithrin: basically, cleaned on a scheduel === ^wuseman is now known as Guest8052 [15:16] TJ-: Yup, just happened again. It's not the google chat notification sound, it's a bit deeper than that, maybe 2-3 tones but very quick/short/jammed together. There's no popup that I can see. [15:16] puff: probably a notification sound [15:17] TJ-: When I get the boop whenI happen to be in this terminal window, where I can see the Ubuntu launch bar (or whatever you call it) on the left edge of the screen, sometimes I think I see a flicker of motion on the launch bar, but I don't know what. [15:17] TJ-: Is there any sort of centralized spot where I can see all of the notifications? [15:18] for terminal, there is only the terminal bell in its own settings [15:19] puff: Not sure, I don't use Gnome. What IRC client are you using - it could be notifying you of something, like your nickname being mentioned in a channel that doesn't have the focus [15:20] Hm,g ood point. [15:20] Emacs erc, running on a virtual server (in a screen session) via terminal window &ssh. [15:21] puff: so not complicated at all then :P [15:22] Hm, okay,s o that's one, yeah... except that I just got a second boop. [15:23] It booped, I alt-tabbed back here to see your comment, and then it booped again, almost immediately. So unless it's going off twice per comment or something. [15:23] tomreyn: I haven't seen /tmp/ being tmpfs by default on debian/ubuntu, while I think it is in some other distributions. Is there a new default somewhere, e.g. in -server, that I"m unaware of? [15:25] Is "launch bar" the right term for the menu bar at the left edge of the screen? [15:25] alkisg: hmm, i just assumed that's a default because i have that on a (previously release upgraded) 18.04 LTS system, but i may actually have set this up on my own, let me check what a fresh install does. [15:25] Yeah, definitely getting boops from some other app. [15:26] boops? [15:27] tmpfs isn't the default on /tmp/ - I always have to configure that myself. It was about 10 years ago I think [15:28] BluesKaj: Like beeps only deeper sounding. [15:30] so, yes, that was wrong, sorry, /tmp is not a tmpfs by default [15:30] alkisg: ^ [15:35] puff, ok, I don't bother with pc noises, I have them turned off [15:36] puff: maybe Betty Boop has got into your PC? [15:36] heh [15:38] puff, sorry, you have sounds and dont want them, or you want more? [15:38] Hello all, I have an issue with 'agetty' service on Ubuntu 20.04. It looks like a Hardware problem as everything checks out. I have a few devices and one has the issue throwing an error to /var/log/auth.log: "agetty /dev/console not a tty" I did an strace of the getty command and got an error "ioctl(3, TCGETS, 0x7ffcb52c1670) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)" === pah is now known as pa [15:40] jwhitmore: what is trying to start agetty on /dev/console? [15:40] The driver doesn't like the TCGETS request, [15:40] TJ-, systemd I assume as the kernel parameter list in /boot/grub/grub.cfg has console=ttyS0... [15:41] jwhitmore: hmmm, I have devices that do that and haven't see that error [15:43] I have multiple devices that are happy with exactly the same config but one is not happy... I can't see the issue so I'm assuming it's a Hardware issue. I'm only asking in case I've missed something not obvious to me [15:43] jwhitmore: you've got a " systemctl status seria-getty@ttyS0.service " with a failure? [15:43] jwhitmore: and similar for the problem device? [15:43] hhhm, mistype there! serial not seria ! [15:43] console-getty.service is showing the error [15:45] Like I say looks like the driver isn't happy with I/O request to TCGETS to get the serial port details [15:46] But during boot syslog has "Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports IRQ sharing enabled [15:46] jwhitmore: you could edit the console-getty.service and try removing the TTYReset=yes [15:47] jwhitmore: as in "systemctl edit console-getty.service" [15:47] TJ-, Cheers I'll try that. And thanks for the "as in" suggestion that wasn't what I was going to do. [15:48] how do I refresh the resolv.conf file? [15:48] jwhitmore, sy, why grub.cfg has console=ttyS0 ? [15:48] I've updated the dhcp options on the router [15:48] I need the system to regain them? [15:48] ioria: serial port console on headless device [15:49] oh, ok [15:49] e.g. " root=/dev/mapper/VG_OS-bullseye ro debug systemd.log_level=debug console=ttyS0,115200n8 " [15:51] TJ-, your "as in" systemctl edit console-getty.service gives me a blank file? [15:52] no typo there? [15:52] jwhitmore: yes, you add the entries you need (but it should show some # comments lead-in) [15:52] oh actually that#s normal [15:52] cluelessperson, systemctl restart resolvconf.service [15:52] 'edit' usually puts the original file in there, with each line commented out [15:53] so I should just add the line "TTYReset=no" and save that [15:53] jwhitmore: add [Service] and TTYReset=no then save [15:53] jwhitmore: it has to have the Section headers for the configs you override [15:54] jwhitmore: when saved systemctl will do an automatic daemon-reload internally, so you just need to restart the service and check its log [15:54] tomreyn: thanks for verifying! :) [15:54] jwhitmore: "systemctl restart console-getty; systemctl status console-getty" [15:55] FYI anyone wanting to know how to set up a headless boot with serial console, with GRUB and Linux accessible: https://termbin.com/9nhz [15:56] oerheks, that doesn't exist [15:57] cluelessperson: you shouldn't be touching /etc/resolv.conf [15:58] cluelessperson: that should be pointing to the systemd stub resolver. Whatever is managing the network should inform systemd-resolved of any changes [15:58] TJ-, "I've updated the dhcp options on the router and I need the local system to update them" [15:58] cluelessperson: is it a Desktop (NetworkManager) or server (systemd-networkd) install ? [15:59] cluelessperson: I saw that, so you need to tell the local network management tool to redo the lease [15:59] Desktop [16:00] TJ-, :( no joy still have the same error [16:01] cluelessperson: if it is NetworkManager, then "nmcli con" to list the links, then "nmcli con down " and "nmcli con up " [16:01] jwhitmore: hmmm! what is the device behind /dev/console for that? [16:02] well /proc/consoles ttySO -W- (EC p a) 4:64 and tty0 -W- (E p) 4:1 [16:03] so I assume ttyS0 is the default that /dev/console is using [16:03] hello, i have a taichi x570 mobo and the usb type-c port on the rear panel doesn't seem to work. The other usb 3.2 type-a port does work [16:03] i'm testing with a cable which i verified works, what steps can i do to try and debug this? [16:04] TJ-, do you by chance know if there's a method to simply renew the lease without downing the entire connection? [16:04] and I assume the 4:64 is the 8250/16550 driver [16:04] cluelessperson: I don't /think/ NM has a way, "nmcli con reload" only reloads the local configuration file. Have a look in "man nmcli" at the nmcli connection ... options [16:05] TJ-, Thanks a million for your help. Like I say this works on other Hardware so I'm assuming this is bad hardware and move on. Can't think of another reason why this unit be different [16:05] jwhitmore: could this be beause another getty already has it exclusively? [16:05] LordDoskias: lsusb to check which root hubs there are, and when you have a device connected, whether it's listed there. but this can also be just a hardware question - it sounds like one. join #hardware for those [16:06] TJ-, yes that's possible as systemd starts getty for each serial port [16:06] tomreyn, the usb hub is there, i have 2 ports on it - type c and type a, type a seems to work - testing with an usb device, type c2 doesn't though [16:06] LordDoskias: "not work" how? [16:06]
