clarkkoerheks, TJ- My problem was caused by the location of the user's Documents directory being moved in .config/user-dirs.dirs, and snap (or the app's snap) not handling it correctly00:06

clarkkI've had to disable transparent_hugepage and transparent_hugepage defrag, following the advice in the gist, because they make vmware guests hang.  https://gist.github.com/2E0PGS/2560d054819843d1e6da76ae5737898901:38
clarkkWhat are the negative effects of this, if any?01:38
rfmcluelessperson, were you trying to copy a whole disk partition?  what did you set the blocksize to?  If you use the default (512 bytes) it would take a billion system callls to copy 500G...01:39
rfmclarkk, you could read https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.html to find the goals of transparent_hugepage and see if they are important to you (probably only if you're running apps on the host with huge working set sizes, probably databases...)01:42
rfmclarkk, although interestingly mongodb seems to think transparent huge pages are bad for their database. maybe only high-working-set apps like simulations/neural nets?01:50
rfmclarkk, https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/transparent-huge-pages/ is what I read about mongodb and thp...01:51
clarkkrfm, thanks. Isn't there a way to just make thp ignore certain files or directories?01:52
clarkkhaving said that - you're right, I'm not working with large databases, so I don't need it01:53
rfmclarkk, no, thp seems to be for large main memory allocations (anonymous or mmap), nothing to do with particular files/directories01:53

siwicaI am Ubuntu 20.04 an my kernel got (auto-)updated to 5.11.0-40-generic recently. However, linux-modules-nvidia-460-5.11.0-38-generic ist the most recent available version for the Nvidia kernel module. Why are those packages not updated simultaneously?04:14
siwicaI am unable to use my graphic card because of this.04:14
lotuspsychjesiwica: there might be some bugs around on some versions of nvidia & kernel 5.11, try to switch to another nvidia version, and see if apt can go back without errors04:15
lotuspsychjesiwica: ubuntu-drivers list, to see your nvidia driver versions04:15
siwicaThe problem ist, that the most recent linux-modules-nvidia-* packages for all nvidia drivers does not seem to correspond to the latest kernel version.04:16
lotuspsychjesiwica: did you try several nvidia driver versions?04:17
siwicaI tried 470 and 460 (recommended by autoinstall). Let me try 495.04:19
siwica`ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` that is.04:20
lotuspsychjesiwica: pastebin your apt output, when you get errors ok04:20
=== mkv is now known as m4v
siwicaOk, it seems the package05:13
siwica linux-modules-nvidia-<VERSION>-5.11.0-40-generic is only available for the driver nvidia-driver-495. This driver, however, does not support my graphic card (GeForce-GTX-1650). Due to Ubuntu (auto-)updating my kernel to a version 5.11.0-40-generic for which neither the driver 460 or 470 has a matching kernel module package, I am now unable to use my graphic card.05:13
siwicaThis is extremly annoying...05:13
lotuspsychjesiwica: so wich version are you on now working?05:14
siwicaWell, no version is working05:14
siwicaI was on 470 which stopped working after Ubuntu updated to 5.11.0-40-generic05:15
siwicaIs there any other option than to wait until linux-modules-nvidia-470-5.11.0-40-generic is released?05:16
lotuspsychjesiwica: that would be hard to believe your gtx cant use 460 or 47005:18
siwicaIt seems the package is available for 21.04 though. But I would expect an LTS Ubuntu not to break my graphic card setup with normal updates.05:19
siwicaIt CAN use both 460 and 47005:19
siwicaBut the problem is that the packages linux-modules-nvidia-460-5.11.0-40-generic and linux-modules-nvidia-470-5.11.0-40-generic are both not available.05:19
siwicaSo after the kernel got updated to the latest version I can't install the corresponding kernel module for neither of 460 or 47005:20
lotuspsychjehmm05:21
lotuspsychjesiwica: you what if you return into a previous kernel?05:24

Dhruvagole[m]hey guys, I was planning to buy the Dell Inspiron 7415 Ryzen 7 laptop however there were concerns that ubuntu still did not support the finger print sensor and rotate sensors on the laptop. What is the status on that?11:16
tomreynDhruvagole[m]: I do not know about this one (which one is it?), but most finger print sensors don't work too well, but that's not really an issue because they provide a weak authentication factor anyways (resolution is usually low, and they are easily faked).11:31
tomreyn(and then, biometrics as authentication factors are an issue of their own - you can't reset/rotate them)11:32

hoolahoopyneure: I think it is better to install a linux VM and build in it16:17
hoolahoopyand debug in it16:17
hoolahoopyusually there isn't so much of a perf penalty16:17
neureYeah I know16:18
hoolahoopyif you don't have a way to share the VM stuff with the host you can setup a samba server on the linux VM and shuffle files back and forth16:18
neurebut I have used WSL before and it is useful for my use16:18
* hoolahoopy nods16:18
neureI mostly use VSCode and it does work great with SSH as well as WSL16:19
hoolahoopyvscode works greate natively on linux too16:19
neureI typically would prefer SSH to another local computer but I don't have one now16:19
hoolahoopyso it would be fine in your VM too16:19
neureYeah, that too, that would be even better, but I need to have Windows for work stuff and currently I have no linux installed anywhere16:19
hoolahoopyneure: I mean install a linux VM running on your windows host16:20
hoolahoopyit's not baremetal so you can destroy it when done easily16:20
neureI know, but I thought wsl --install was simpler that installing VM and then ubuntu16:21
hoolahoopyonly limitation I can think of is space and maybe GPU virtualisation16:21
hoolahoopyneure: yes but it will introduce new problems e.g. what if soething works on WSL but not on real linux16:21
neureWSL is not compact either :P16:21
neureright now I only want to check that something compiles16:21
neureI will likely get a real linux machine (hardware) at some point16:22
hoolahoopyhmm not really needed. I used to virtualise windows on my desktop16:22
hoolahoopybut something is wrong with the MOBO or something16:23
neureI do graphics stuff and it does not yet virtualize that great16:23
neureor at least it didn't last time I tried16:23
neureit has been getting a lot better recently though16:23
hoolahoopyyeah, for that you can get two GPU and passthrough the second one to the VM if you have the cash16:23
hoolahoopythat has been my problem too to an extent thats why I have a dual boot16:24
hoolahoopyso i have a baremetal windows and a baremetal linux on the same machine16:24

tomreynd_rwin: Ubuntu 21.10 Desktop defaults to NetworkManager for network configuration. It provides a graphical user interface (top right of your screen, as well as in the "Settings" application) for configuring PPPoE connections.18:05
d_rwintomreyn: ok, how? I just need a ethernet or wired connection with my data card18:08
tomreynd_rwin: what do you mean by "data card"?18:08
d_rwintomreyn: wifi dongle18:09
octav1aGuest9962: yeah that's an interesting one to me. I've actually seen it on android from time to time as well18:10
octav1aI've rules it well beyond my ability to tackle >.>18:10
octav1aruled*18:10
tomreynd_rwin: hmm, this is a bit unclear. you mentioned ethernet connection, wifi dongle, pppoe (which would require a modem), these are all different types of hardware.18:10
tomreynd_rwin: which hardware are you trying to conect through, and which other device or network does it connect you to?18:11
d_rwintomreyn: I see, so far my wifi data card didnt recognise in wvdialconf, assumed its a usb_modswitch issue18:12
d_rwintomreyn: its just a wifi hotspot, with a configurable settings ( gateway, SSID, Wlan )18:13
tomreynd_rwin: are you actually running Ubuntu? Why are you using wvdial rather than NetworkManager?18:13
d_rwintomreyn: wvdial failed to detect my hardware, am on networkmanager18:14
d_rwintomreyn: nmcli works just fine, just need a wired connection like phone usb tethering, no wifi18:15
tomreynd_rwin: your intent changes by the second, i don't think i can help there.18:16
jeremy31d_rwin: do you have the USB ID for the device?18:17
d_rwintomreyn: I'm very unsure of the peice of hardware I own, yes lsusb -> digitech18:17
oerheksGuest9962, that 'bug' is gone in 21.10 ..18:18
Guest9962yea Ive found various bugs floating around in various distros and components18:18
oerheksvarious distros .. interesting18:18
oerheksso, your current issue is fixed18:18
Guest9962the one I linked looks to have some decent background, theres this comment about how it's rooted at the xroads of x11 and hw specfic driver issues: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1280300/comments/1918:19

oerheksanother old bugreport, anything more recent about an supported ubuntu version?18:20
Guest9962no I'm currently using elementary os, but I was on ubuntu 20.4 and had it, and have seen it on both laptops I've had for the last ~7 years across various distros18:20
oerheksDo you encounter this on 20.40/21.04/21.10 ?18:20
=== pah_ is now known as pa
d_rwintomreyn: when wvdial failed I tried ADSLPPPoE18:21
Guest9962so I was more curious about finding a broader discussion about the technical reasons for the issue, since most bugs in most distros I found were just like "yea thats a bug thats been around for years, hard to fix, sorry"18:21
lotuspsychjeGuest9962: you cant generalize statements like that for every machine, come back with your device when you have ubuntu installed?18:22
Guest9962are you saying its fixed in 21.4 bc 21.4 defaults to wayland?18:22
Guest9962yea i was also experiencing it on ubuntu 20.4 before switching to eos18:23
lotuspsychjeGuest9962: no, we say that issues are best to handled specific to one machine and investigate whats the root problem18:23
lotuspsychjeGuest9962: perhaps your machine makes an acpi bug across several distro's18:24
jeremy31d_rwin: post URL from terminal for>  lsusb | nc termbin.com 999918:24
Guest9962I'm also experiencing it in eos, which I believe is based on 20.4. I can try switching to ubuntu 21.4 to see if it fixes this problem, but I was more looking today for more techinical understanding18:24
lotuspsychjeGuest9962: reinstall ubuntu, and pastebin us a dmesg of your machine so we can deeper investigate it18:25
tomreynd_rwin: those softwares do different things. if you can provide specific information about the hardware you are mening to use to connect to something else, this may enable us to support you. usb connected devices can be listed using the    lsusb   command. note that you did not answer my question regarding actual use of Ubuntu. I won't be able to help if you are using an Ubuntu or different Debian derivative.18:25
Guest9962for example, in this comment, point 1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1280300/comments/19 he mentions firmware updates for specific hardware offenders. typically those firmware updates need to come from the hardware vendor themselves right?18:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1532508 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Screen contents revealed briefly on resume, before even unlocking" [High, Confirmed] [duplicate: 1280300]18:26
oerheksagain a bugreport from 2014.. and the duplicate bugreports says bugfix released. i wonder why you still see it on 20.0418:28
noarbwhen I install ninja and meson with the standard apt, ninja builds can't find meson: `/bin/sh: 1: /usr/local/bin/meson: not found`, but apt installed it at /usr/bin/meson. Should I link this someway, is this an installation error?18:28
oerheks20.04/wayland surely fixes a lot of things18:28
tomreynnoarb: a software looking for another software in /usr/local/ is most likely one that was locally built, or at least not one you have retrieved from ubuntu repositories.18:30
tomreynnoarb: in other words, i'm suggesting that the software that provided this output was probably locally built or modified, or uses a custom configuration you supplied, which points to /usr/local18:31
ioriaprobably installed with pip318:31
tomreynthat would be "locally built"18:31
Guest9962yea, I was reading this weekend about the 1000 paper cuts initiative that ubuntu did a few years ago, which I think is brilliant, and reminded me of this longstanding issue, so I've been doing more research about it.18:32
Guest9962but yes, the fact that this issue has been first reported more than 5 years ago and I keep seeing it on new distros is frustrating and makes me think the "bugfixes" that are reported as released are papering over the root issue so I come today to get a better understanding of that deeper cause.18:33
oerhekstry 21.10 :-)18:33
d_rwintomreyn: my hardware is a huaweiE8372 type data card for 4G enabled SIM, no modem18:35
iorianoarb, hash -r or close and open again the terminal ; then 'type -a meson'18:37
jeremy31d_rwin: does it show in lsusb as 12d1:1f0118:38
noarbI can confirm that both meson and ninja-build were installed via `apt install meson ninja-build`. apt-file on the packages shows that they only install to /usr/bin, which is where they are on my machine, but invoking ninja is looking for meson in /usr/local/bin/meson? `type -a meson meson is /usr/bin/meson meson is /bin/meson`18:39
d_rwintomreyn: ubuntu desktop configured with xfce, previously wvdialconf detect the modem very easily for my other data card with a SD card reader18:39
d_rwinjeremy31: yes with dmesg also18:39
iorianoarb, and /usr/local/bin/meson  exists ?18:39
jeremy31d_rwin: it is detected as mass storage then18:40
d_rwinjeremy31: can you help me with usb_modeswitch codes18:40
noarbno, it does not. But that is where the apt-installed version of ninja-build is looking for meson18:40
jeremy31d_rwin: for the /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules  just copy an existing line, paste it below and change the idvendor and idproduct to match yours18:42
d_rwinjeremy31: mostly never used usb_modeswitch, link?18:43
noarbif I need to symlink the binary, is this is a bug in the debian packaging?18:50
jeremy31d_rwin: trying to find a link with instructions on how to extract the configPack.tar.gz from /usr/share/usb_modeswitch to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/18:50

jeremy31d_rwin: in terminal do>  cd /etc/usb_modeswitch.d18:54
oerheksGuest9962, and is it valid for 21.10 ? pasting ancient bugreports is useless18:54
Guest9962not useless, it shows how there's a bad security issue thats been around for a decade and is still not fixed. the other one I pasted from 2014 had someone reporting it still repro's in 21.418:55
Guest9962so I hope you can understand why I'd be hesitant to try your suggestion to upgrade18:56
d_rwinjeremy31: will wail18:56
d_rwinjeremy31: *wait18:56
Guest9962if upgrading has it's own cost of resetting up a bunch of stuff18:56
Guest9962although that first bug I linked has more of the kind of explanation I'm looking for18:57
jeremy31d_rwin: in terminal do>  cd /etc/usb_modeswitch.d18:57
jeremy31d_rwin: then>  sudo cp /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/18:57
oerheksGuest9962, i think your last statement isnot true. did you test 21.10 ?18:57
jeremy31d_rwin: then lastly>  sudo tar -xvf configPack.tar.gz18:58
oerheksand you can argue about upgrading, you are on elementary :-D18:58
d_rwinjeremy31: link pls? will try this18:58
jeremy31d_rwin: don't have a link, I just did it on my computer, after those 3 terminal commands, reboot18:59
Guest9962you might be right, I'll have to upgrade to test, which I dont have time to do today but maybe next week with the holidays. if the true root cause is x11 and upgrading to a distro:version with wayland support is the only true fix, then that will be19:03
Guest9962should be easy to verify *19:03

sqpp@oerheks, I understand, however, Ubuntu 21.10 runs great with the exception of the 3DAcc19:44
oerheksfuzzymanboob98[m, certainly not. *if* nvidia provides good drivers, it will not appear in an LTS, basicly.19:45
oerheksalways in the in-between-versions19:45
sqppI might switch to some uther distro and see if others works19:45
oerhekssqpp, choose a light desktop, like xubuntu /mate/lubuntu, and disable 3d effects. i think gma4500 is way too old\19:46
fuzzymanboob98[mWhy always in the in-between versions? Because it's already too late to get the kinks sorted out?19:46
oerheksLTS is stable, without new features19:47
sqpp@oerheks, I understand, as I said, the issue isn't the performance19:47
sqppMore like video decoding since 3D Acceleration is not present19:47
fuzzymanboob98[mI'm on LTS using 470 drivers right now. It seems to me that the drivers aren't version frozen to April 202019:48
oerheksfuzzy then you are running xorg now, not wayland19:49
fuzzymanboob98[mYes I know I'm on Xorg. I am interested in whether wayland nvidia will be a thing in the not-so-far future19:51

oerheks'deamons using outdated libraries' Exterminador ? maybe you should run propper updates, or if those packages come from 3rd party, look for newer ones?21:52
Exterminadoroerheks: had to reboot. but it's annoying to receive this every time you install a package and the binary is outdated. is there a way to disable this? not to forget i'm using Ubuntu 21.1021:53
oerheksand what binairy is outdated? not the ones we provide?21:54
Exterminadorit was a fresh install. just run `apt update` and `apt dist-upgrade` right after finishing the installation21:55
Exterminadorall the packages I've installed so far were all obtained via `apt` without adding any third party PPA's or anything21:57
Exterminadorworth to mention that the ISO from ubuntu.com already has 20 outdated packages upon installation (I just downloaded the server ISO this afternoon)21:58
Exterminadorgrabbed it from https://ubuntu.com/download/server and choosing option 222:00
oerheksall isos except the daily build have older packages, but an update run with dist-upgrade and reboot should work fine22:00
AterfaxNot sure what your complaint is here? You prefer to run out of date binaries?22:00
oerheksso, did you reboot?22:00
oerheksand what is that chrome tab, building from source?22:01
Exterminadorbuilding from source for UnrealIRCd.22:03
ExterminadorAterfax: I'm not saying I rather run update packages. I just feel that's annoying to get that "complaint" from the server every time you install a package because sometimes it can pass several hours before you can be able to reboot the server22:05
oerheksso, you did not reboot?22:06
oerhekscome back when you did, and tell us if it solves that issue22:07
Exterminadornot right after running `apt update && apt dist-upgrade`. but after a reboot, yes. the "warning" doesn't reappear22:07
kilohey22:07
kilo:q22:07
ExterminadorI know that a reboot should be issued every time we install packages that change the current binaries. the issue is that some times we can't/don't want to do so because we might have something that needs to be kept running for a few more hours/days before rebooting the server. I'm just asking if there's a way to disable that warning completely22:10
oerheksNo, that screen helps you restart the service that just got updated.22:12
oerheksand the argument we must keep it running, is invalid.22:13
Exterminadorit might be valid especially when you run/plan to run ZNC, IRCd and other stuff that needs the most uptime possible with the less restarts possible22:14
lpvhey guys anyone know where I could find the configs/data of foobar2000 snap which comes with wine? (normally %appdata% on windows?)22:21

lpvow gotcha! That's the one! Cheers! ;)22:23
oerhekshave fun!22:23
Aterfax??22:23
AterfaxYou don't need to reboot it just asked if you want to restart the daemons.22:23
AterfaxSo restart the daemons and use the new binaries.22:24
oerheksAterfax, he claims every time he updates .. then it is a fresh install..22:24
AterfaxI'm not really seeing what the problem is? Suppressing the warnings and not restarting the daemons is a bad idea.22:25
ExterminadorI do `apt update && apt dist-upgrade` almost daily but I only do restarts/reboots at weekends (when I do have the time to seat and fix anything that might break)22:33
ExterminadorI guess that I'm just not used to see that warning in Ubuntu 20.0422:34

Exterminadorwell. manually creating the folder /root/.gnupg seems to solve the issue. something wrong with the gpg-agent or something that cannot create the folder on it's own? didn't had this kind of issues with 20.0423:21
