[00:00] zenof, i thought maybe too . . . not sure how to find instructions though ill keep looking [00:01] user01, see https://legacy.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/ and have a look at IM's 'montage' command [00:01] zenof, thanks having a look [00:01] latter to create the colage [00:01] tomreyn, did you open a launchpad issue regarding that kernel list and mapping, or? [00:02] croraf: no. i wrote about it in #ubuntu-kernel, so the kernel devs can have a look at whether or not it needs fixing. [00:03] are there certin hours or is there a time when this channel is very active? [00:08] jcbjoe2021: it's probably a bit more busy during the weekends than during the weeks, when people ask support questins, and others have an idea of how to answer them. [00:10] ok thanks tomreyn [02:00] so, anybody else upgrading their servers to Jellyfish?

[06:55] Sven_vB, it's used as fallback. Updates will most likely revert them back to defaults. Mb try adding the `fallback = yes` to all hdmi mappings [06:59] Sven_vB, copy this file to your home directory. delete all hdmi mappings. use "profile_set" argument when loading module-alsa-card [07:13] KBar, oh good idea. thanks! === mihaiadrian1 is now known as mihaiadrian [07:18] Sven_vB, even better. comment out all those lines [07:49] is lxde still in 21.10?

I guess I didn't reinstall the deb after getting the snap [09:24] why the hell is autocomplete for files off in konsole all of a sudden [09:25] MrSassyPants `echo $SHELL` [09:25] is it bash? [09:26] yup [09:26] and running another bash doesn't fix it [09:26] wtf [09:27] MrSassyPants, `echo $-` [09:27] what's the output [09:27] command not found [09:27] MrSassyPants without backquotes, of course [09:28] echo $- [09:28] himBHs [09:28] ??? [09:28] oh they're bash build flags [09:30] going into ctrl-alt-f terminals file autocompletion still works [09:30] maybe Konsole is busted [09:32] MrSassyPants, `bind -q complete` [09:32] I rebooted. now the ctrl-alt-f terminals don't autocomplete files either anymore [09:33] holon [09:33] Why is this randomly changing [09:33] yeah that fixed it [09:33] no that doesnt fix it [09:33] it just queries it :D [09:34] so it works now? [09:34] no it does not [09:34] I need more coffee, only just woke up [09:34] what is the output of that command? [09:34] complete can be invoked via "\C-i", "\e\e". [09:34] is it bound to C-i? [09:34] good [09:34] that means bash is messing up [09:35] did you modify your .bashrc? [09:35] holon [09:35] whats your favorite pastebin [09:36] I just checked my /var/log/dpkg.log [09:36] any easy-ish way to get an up-to-date rsync on 20.04? specifically i want rsync --atimes introduced in 3.2.0, while 20.04 ships 3.1.3 [09:36] because the only "system" thing I did today was try to dpkg -i the discord deb [09:36] MrSassyPants, you can do this: `SOME_COMMANDS | pastebinit` [09:36] it will automatically upload [09:37] no [09:38] I can't log in to view the paste [09:38] blaarhg, I can't view the paste because I'm not logged in [09:38] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mQzVK3BByV/ do you see this [09:38] yep [09:39] Well, you are installing a .deb package here. [09:39] .deb and snaps are completely different. [09:39] yes. [09:39] I assumed this was why the snap wasn't autostarting [09:40] well anyhow, the dpkg -i failed [09:40] yet it still managed to screw up the system [09:40] desktop-file-utils seems to be the likely culprit [09:40] turns out that, by dumb luck, the 21.04 rsync deb (which ships rsync 3.2.3) installs just fine on 20.04 ^^ [09:41] but does it run also? :) [09:41] rsync? yes [09:41] well, --version runs fine at least [09:41] it doesn't have a lot of complicated dependencies, I suppose [09:42] yep, having removed that, and rebooting (???) it works again [09:43] It being bash completion or Discord autostart? [09:43] bash file completion [09:43] >rsync: This rsync does not support --crtimes (-N) [09:43] that's weird [09:44] discord autostart is still a no go [09:45] can someone on 21.10 tell me what error they get from the command "rsync --crtimes" [09:45] just that [09:45] MrSassyPants, that's very strange. Did you delete the Discord .deb package and now Bash completion works again? [09:46] I apt-removed desktop-file-utils [09:46] which had gotten installed dpkg-i'ing the discord deb [09:46] No. [09:46] (without actually installing the discord deb due to missing dependencies) [09:47] `dpkg --install` only install a given package. [09:48] if you only issued `dpkg -i discord-whatever.deb` it just installs that [09:48] the other entries in the log [09:48] are just configuring dependencies/making sure they're also installed [09:48] you can view .deb package's preinstallation scripts [09:49] fwiw you can just use "apt install ./whatever.deb" (since 16.04 i think?) [09:49] +1 [09:50] well it did install desktop-file-utils [09:50] and I didn't [09:51] there was some half-completed installation bs going on tho [09:51] MrSassyPants, regarding your Discord problem: 1) check if the app itself has 'Autostart on login' or a similar option; 2) install gnome-tweak-tool, you can manually add programs there [09:51] gl [09:51] 1 it does and doesn't work [09:52] Uncheck and check it again [09:53] Reinstall desktop-file-utils [09:53] desktop-file-utils just destroyed bash file completion [09:53] I am not going to reinstall that [09:55] in fact I'm apt-mark hold'ing that now === kai2 is now known as kai [10:30] Hello, I am getting a following error while attempting various commanda( for example "adb devices") [10:30] Traceback (most recent call last): [10:30] File "/usr/lib/command-not-found", line 28, in [10:30] from CommandNotFound import CommandNotFound [10:30] File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/CommandNotFound/CommandNotFound.py", line 19, in [10:30] from CommandNotFound.db.db import SqliteDatabase [10:32] !paste | razerwaron_ use a [10:32] razerwaron_ use a: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [10:46] hello how do u install enhancement tools for virtualbox [10:53] xu-irc96w, you mean extension pack ? [10:54] you must download it from website, then install within virtualbox [10:54] No. [10:54] If you installed VirtualBox from the Ubuntu repositories, run this: `apt install virtualbox-ext-pack` [10:54] That way, the versions match. [10:55] its called vboxlinuxadditions.run [10:55] oh well, yea, i use to install from website xD [10:55] or from official repo [10:55] xu-irc96w, how did you install Oracle VirtualBox VM? From their website or from the Ubuntu repositories via `apt install virtualbox`? [10:55] apt [10:56] do what KBar º says then [10:56] xu-irc96w, use official repositories for additional tools, including Guest Additions and Extension Pack. [10:57] xu-irc96w, `virtualbox-ext-pack` for Extension Pack. `virtualbox-guest-additions-iso` for Guest Additions. [10:58] run ext-pack in xbuntu? guest-iso in virtual machine? [10:59] You need both on the host. Extension Pack will automatically appear under Preferences > Extension in Oracle VirtualBox VM Manager. [10:59] xu-irc96w, for Guest Additions ISO, you will need to specify the path and mount it inside guest. [11:00] hmm i maybe what u said are already installed, now i want to install additions.run in guest [11:01] I'm not aware of such a thing and I don't think the documentation includes it. Can you link it here? [11:03] there is a cd icon on guest desktop [11:03] when i try to ./ the run file, it pops a window then nothing changed [11:03] xu-irc96w, ah. I see. First, install these two packages: `apt install make gcc` [11:04] You need these two. [11:06] It will pull a bunch of dependencies required to build kernel modules. [11:07] also i see the wifi country icon is usable on guest, is this for the repository choose [11:08] /is/isnt [11:08] Your host's Wifi appears as Ethernet on guest [11:08] hi there [11:08] So no. It works the same on both versions: repository or "official". [11:09] Sorry, what?? [11:10] xu-irc96w, after you have installed these two packages and their dependencies. Eject/unmount the ISO and remount through Devices > Insert Guest Additions ISO or whatever it was. [11:10] hi there [11:10] Hello [11:10] xu-irc96w, a pop-up should appear telling you to take action. Choose run then. [11:11] It will install and build everything [11:11] argha, hello and welcome. What are your questions? [11:11] Feel free to ask. Knowledgeable people will gladly help you, if they're online and not busy. [11:11] Nothing Sir/Ma'am actually I wanna make friends [11:12] are there any already installed sound files I can try to play from the konsole to see if my spekaer is working? there used to be a file where linus torvalds says "my name is linus and i pronounce linux linux" - it's a very small device and I don't want to have to install anything. [11:12] argha, this channel is for Ubuntu support. Join #ubuntu-offtopic or #libera for general chat. [11:13] Hello! Is there a way to import my old Chromium settings into the Snap version of Chromium which nowadays ships with Ubuntu? [11:13] weedmic, WARNING: lower the volume. You can try speaker-test. [11:14] beuys, hi. Doesn't Chromium ask you to import at first start-up? [11:14] KBar: I don't remember. I installed it a few days ago. [11:15] hmm - tried speaker test, nothing - trying new speakers [11:15] KBar: Could it even access my home folder? I thought snaps are sandboxed? [11:15] beuys, I don't use Chromium or snaps, but it should have its directory under $HOME/.config [11:16] KBar: I don't think that is how snaps work. [11:16] beuys I was talking about regular packages. Snaps are, as you said, sandboxed or confined or whatever. [11:16] Yeah [11:16] I think you can copy and paste those configs. [11:18] KBar: But where to? [11:18] beuys, $HOME/snap/ [11:18] most likely [11:20] beuys, is Chromium snap already installed? [11:21] Yeah. Unfortunately, I have to go now. [11:21] Thanks for now. Cu later! [11:22] weedmic, how about this? speaker-test --channels=2 --nloops=1 --test=wav --device=default [11:24] weemdic a voice should read "front left, front right" [11:27] weedmic, `aplay -L | less` to list devices, `speaker-test --channels=2 --nloops=1 --test=wav --device=DEVICE_NAME` to test specific device [11:31] i tried all the speaker-test before i got here - when i did - speaker-test -c 2 -D default - i got Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy [11:39] weedmic, well, how about the good ol' terminal bell? Make sure it's enabled in Konsole's preferences and ring the bell with ^G! [11:39] how do I free up a device === testtest2 is now known as testtesttest2 [11:40] KBar: i only need to prove the prongs and the speakers work - so a bell would be enough. do you have a command for what you describe? === testtesttest2 is now known as test123456 [11:41] weedmic, is it Konsole? [11:42] weedmic, try Ctrl+G [11:42] It's disabled by default on many terminals, though. [11:43] only konsole [11:44] oic - ctrl + G disconnected me from ssh connection, but might have been small g - trying again. [11:46] must eat now - bbl - ty for the pointing [11:48] weedmic, a-ha! There should be some audio files in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop. Do these: `pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga && pactl play-sample 0` [12:17] hello, when i try to ./vboxlinuxadditions.run, it says no such file or directory [12:18] xu-irc96w, are you running Xubuntu? Which version? [12:18] 20.04 [12:19] xu-irc96w, guest is Xubuntu too? [12:19] debian buster with rasp desktop smth [12:20] xu-irc96w, what's the output of mount? [12:20] `mount | pastebinit` [12:21] from the guest [12:22] Wait. [12:22] xu-irc96w, you cannot do this on Debian guest. [12:23] xu-irc96w, Debian is not supported for Guest Additions. [12:23] I thought you were running Ubuntu on guest. [12:24] pastebin.debian.net/12211105 [12:24] xu-irc96w, join their network for assistance: irc://irc.oftc.net/vbox [12:24] But as I said, I'm pretty sure you can't install Guest Additions on Debian. [12:24] maybe cuz its using a 4.1 kernel [12:26] How come the wacom tablet support on the default ubuntu install is so meager? It's way too simplistic, it doesn't offer button mapping or changing sample averaging or profiles or any of the stuff the kde tablet manager does..........and so it's back to the command line [12:27] xu-irc96w, let me double check. [12:27] paste.debian.net/12211105 [12:28] Anyone using 21.10? There's an issue with certain apps like gnome-terminal and the Files app having duplicate window decorations when running under Xorg as compared to Wayland. (two x, minimize, maximize buttons for example). This is ugly and takes up a lot of space. How do I fix this? [12:28] longus_catus: bug/wishlist to the rescue [12:29] xu-irc96w, here, follow these instructions on a Debian guest: https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debian_10_.22Buster.22_and_Debian_11_.22Bullseye.22-1 [12:29] longus_catus, sounds like you have gtk3-nocsd installed. [12:30] Uninstall that package or set $GTK_CSD to 1 [12:30] Yes, I do have it installed. I'll uninstall it. Omg, I hope it works. [12:30] longus_catus you don't have to uninstall it [12:30] you can temporarily disable it [12:30] longus_catus, `sudoedit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/01gtk3-nocsd` I believe [12:31] uncomment this line: `#export GTK_CSD=1` [12:31] and change 1 to 0 [12:31] relogin [12:31] nvm i guess its fixed now, i set the kernel section to 4.x linux from debian 64 in virtualbox [12:31] Hey everyone, I had a small question to ask. Hey everyone, I had a small question to ask [12:31] Using instructions from, https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/rescue-fat32-disk-linux.html [12:31] Wow, that's even better. I gotta check it out, thanks a lot it's been bugging me a lot [12:32] np [12:32] It has been 20 minutes with a 16GB USB and its' still checking for bad clusters [12:32] Do you know how long I should wait? [12:33] Guest6: do you have data on you need to be recovered still? [12:34] Yeah not crucial but still strongly prefer to recover [12:34] after a successful install, guest cant be run in full window.. [12:34] Guest6: try photorec to recover it all first, after that try a proper format [12:34] full sceen [12:34] !info testdisk | Guest6 [12:35] Guest6: testdisk (7.1-5, impish): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Built by testdisk. Size 354 kB / 1,423 kB [12:35] xu-irc96w, do you only need it for full-screen? [12:35] yes [12:35] xu-irc96w, you don't have to install Guest Additions, then. Do the following: [12:37] I'd probably first make an image of the drive. A 16GB USB drive is likely to be terribly slow. [12:37] xu-irc96w 1) Open Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager; 2) Select your virtual machine; 3) Click on Settings; 4) Go to Display > Screen; 5) Select "VBoxVGA" from the "Graphics Controller" drop-down; 6) change the resolution within the guest (if it's GNOME, go to Settings > Display) [12:38] lotuspsychje , I already started dofsck, can I just interrupt it? [12:38] Guest6: well its always best to let stuff finish, but if you say it stalls? [12:38] xu-irc96w credits to guiverc :) just learnt that yesterday [12:39] it just finished but didn't repair [12:39] Dammit, hope i didn't lose the chance to use photorec? [12:40] ok Guest6 try to recover data with photorec, then after you try gparted or something else to format [12:40] A bad cluster scan is read only [12:40] Alright, thanks for the advice [12:40] By the way do you have a preffered guide for it? [12:40] Guest6: sudo apt install testdisk, then sudo photorec and scan the whole thing [12:41] so like "sudo photrec /dev/sdx [12:41] Guest6: no, it will launch a cli gui from photorec [12:42] right... [12:45] fixed [12:45] thanks [12:49] Have to go, hopefully it will work, thanks for everything [12:55] ty KBar [13:14] betuxy [13:14] 14:11:18 [13:14] Hey guys Im trying to setup a php-fpm server, but it crashes saying forking not possible, im not sure whats going wrong i gathered some infos about configs as well as the log: https://termbin.com/6jby === accessdenied is now known as ratbox === gschanuel22 is now known as gschanuel2 [13:38] Im writting measure data with timestamp to a file. I want to keep it in a constant size. Is there a bash command out there that cuts older than n-lines ? [13:41] that's very tricky. could be achieved with some advanced techniques or scripts that im sadly unaware of [13:42] more a question for #linux dreamon ? [13:42] +1 [13:43] dreamon, 800 people on #bash. Try your luck there. [13:44] thanks [13:44] np [14:11] Hi folks [14:13] Hi. Trying to use a GPS HAT on an raspberry pi 3 install with ubuntu-server makes it hang on boot. Now, after my knowledge, it hangs on boot -- the solution was found here https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=269941 [14:13] But,, yeah - then it renders my GPS HAT useless. How can i enable UART after boot? [14:24] hello [14:24] i recently ihave updated the kernel via apt [14:24] on my 16.04 (server) [14:24] the last kernel for that ubuntu version is giving me problem with java [14:25] how can i choose the previous kernel ? [14:25] uname -r returns 3.14.32-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 [14:27] pycode1: 16.04 is EOL unless you use pqyed support ESM [14:27] pqyed/payed [14:27] Fatal_Sushi, i do not need a new kernel i just want to use the previous one [14:27] pycode1, choose it during GRUB menu. [14:28] i am on server how cna i see what kernels are available? [14:28] pycode1: i said 16.04 is EOL.... End Of Life and thus not supported anymore [14:28] Likely do> ls /boot | grep system [14:29] Fatal_Sushi, i understand but i said i would like to use one older kernel i mean the kernel i had before apt dist-upgrade [14:29] Likely do> ls /boot | grep System [14:29] pycode1, `head /etc/default/grub` what's the content? [14:29] jeremy31, i try [14:29] i see [14:29] KBar, https://bpa.st/3BFQ [14:29] jeremy31, no i check [14:30] jeremy31, https://bpa.st/WBAQ [14:30] pycode1, can you reboot and enter the GRUB menu? [14:30] pycode1, press and hold Shift. [14:30] KBar, cant [14:30] i am on vps [14:30] pycode1: Might have to install the older kernel again [14:31] jeremy31, yes but can i found it using apt-cache? [14:31] I don't think you can. [14:31] how cna i switch kernel [14:31] Dude. [14:31] You need to reboot and look at the GRUB menu [14:32] KBar, i cant i just can "reboot" and wait the vps will be up again [14:33] jeremy31, how can i install the older? [14:33] pycode1 you're gonna have to reboot anyway. If you want to downgrade. What do you have in in /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [14:33] i see [14:34] KBar, https://bpa.st/PTUQ [14:34] sure i will reboot [14:34] pycode1 wait a sec. [14:34] actually a couple minutes [14:34] that0s not a problem i just want to install the previous kernel only and then reboot [14:34] KBar, ok [14:37] pycode1 is that a custom kernel? [14:37] That kernel is from 2016 [14:37] i think not, it is the one i scoming from OVH.. [14:37] yes a bit older i think [14:37] but the previous one was better... [14:37] i mean i did a dist-upgrade to have all the things but unfortunatly [14:37] there is a bug in java 8 [14:38] that i did not have with the other kernel [14:38] so now i have to go backwards i check what kernel i was using [14:38] or a kernel that does not have that problem [14:38] pycode1, did you do `sudo apt upgrade` or `sudo apt dist-upgrade`? [14:38] yes [14:38] dist-upgrade [14:39] Pull out the journal and show us the full command/history. [14:39] KBar, wait...how? [14:39] in history there are plenty of things [14:39] maybe is ther an apt history ? [14:39] *there [14:40] pycode1: to boot to an older kernel see https://askubuntu.com/a/216420/300665 [14:41] pycode1, of course there is. `less /var/log/apt/history.log` [14:41] jeremy31, the problem is that i do not have that kernel anymore right?= i think i have to install it via apt and then configure grub....OR JUST install it and remove the one i am using now [14:41] If it was very recent. [14:41] Yes, you do not have the old kernel anymore. [14:41] It looks like it's gone for good. [14:41] there is not just 2021-11-28 [14:42] We need to find its version and somehow put it back. [14:42] Might have to search the syslogs in /var/log [14:42] pycode1, then look at history.log.1.gz [14:42] or 2.gz [14:42] etc [14:42] find that entry [14:42] how cna i open those files? [14:43] pycode1 with any pager: more/less [14:43] cat, if you are hardcore [14:44] pycode1, `less /var/log/apt/history.log[.N.gz]` where N is a natural number from 1 to however many you have. [14:44] i am seeing but there are many CRON JOB [14:44] what should i find exactly? [14:44] Show me one. [14:46] are basically cronjob [14:46] there are no other things [14:46] big list of cronjob [14:46] pycode1, when did you invoke `dist-upgrade`? Do you remember roughly? [14:46] because those run every minute [14:46] pycode1, you're looking at wrong logs. [14:46] i remember there was an "image" so i have upgraded the kernel for sure [14:47] i am seeing syslog [14:47] pycode1, so when was it? [14:47] updated? hmm i think around 1 month ago but today we had a problem we network so the server has been restarted and then we found that problem with java [14:47] pycode1, no. We don't need the syslog for now. Can you reread what I have written to you so far, so that you can fix it faster? [14:48] Okay. So the timeframe is around 1 month ago. It should still be in the regular history.log, without a number appended. [14:48] /var/log/apt/history.log [14:48] waaaait i have dpkg logs [14:48] Show me that file. [14:48] maybe i found [14:49]
