[01:34] <backthen> I have a Ubuntu installation it doesn't start after grub and always just show blinking cursor. I have to restart into safe mode and then I can launch the OS without problem. How to repair this
[01:36] <gry> did it work before?
[01:39] <backthen> gry: no it's a new install, after installing Windows
[01:39] <gry> so you had ubuntu first and windows second
[01:40] <backthen> well, now it's ubuntu second once again because I reinstalled Ubuntu again after windows install because of this problem
[01:41] <gry> so normally if you can, install windows first, ensure that you can reboot into it two or three times, then install ubuntu second
[01:41] <gry> then grub will work easier
[01:41] <ravage> if the safe mode works its not a grub problem
[01:41] <ravage> most likely some kernel/driver problem
[01:41] <gry> hmm
[01:42] <gry> and what is it now? did ubuntu start working after you reinstalled it?
[01:42] <gry> probably you will need to check logs of ubuntu about its previous unsuccessful boot attempt, to see what went wrong
[01:43] <backthen> After I reinstalled, and tinkering with it I discovered that trick
[01:43] <gry> the trick being safe mode?
[01:43] <ravage> im not sure if thats the most sophisticated way but try adding "nomodeset" to the kernel parameters in grub
[01:43] <backthen> Yes. Safe mode first, then at the safe mode screen select the first option to launch
[01:43] <gry> logs can be in '/var/log', that's how it was five years ago. if it's systemd then someone else will need to help, i don't have a clue
[01:44] <ravage> it should already have quite and some more options
[01:44] <ravage> go to edit mode in grub of your normal boot option (not safe mode) and add nomodeset after quiet
[01:45] <ravage> the may be multiple occurences. just edit all
[01:45] <ravage> its not permanent. in case it works you have to add that paremater to /etc/default/grub and run update-grub
[01:47] <backthen> I wonder if it has do to with the gpu. It's a nvidia gpu but System Info shows llvmpipe
[01:48] <ravage> you can try to install the nvidia driver. but see if you can get the system bootable first
[01:48] <ravage> im not sure if you can install drivers from safe mode
[01:48] <ravage> you can try
[01:48] <ravage>  sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[01:49] <gry> backthen: 'nomodeset' forces the OS to not load video drivers when it is starting to boot. afaik it loads them only after starting Xorg. so if you test it out, maybe it will help you understand whether or not the video drivers are the problem.
[01:50] <ravage> it does not really prevent any driver loading. i just doesnt set any framebuffer mode which can cause problems
[01:51] <gry> ok
[01:56] <backthen> ravage: wow that prob fixed it it works now. Thanks a lot
[01:57] <ravage> great :) try to install the nvidia driver via ubuntu-drivers. maybe you wont need that then anymore
[01:58] <backthen> Yea the ubuntu-drivers command I think fixed it. Why doesn't the inherent software update function I ran previously fix this? Guess it doesn't cover drivers
[01:58] <ravage> updates install updates of installed software
[01:58] <ravage> the nvidia driver just was not active
[02:01] <ravage> i dont know which ubuntu version you run. recent versions try to use wayland instead of xorg i think. nvidia is know for causing problems with wayland
[02:01] <ravage> so if you run in any problems try to switch to xorg
[02:02] <backthen> I think it also helps that I wasn't in safe mode. The UI interface looked regular. I'm on 20.0.4 the LTS one.
[02:02] <backthen> Btw, when I installed this copy Ubuntu was actually complaining about Intel rapid start technology. Had to turn that off before it allowed me to install
[02:05] <ravage> 20.04 uses xorg by default so you should be fine

[05:37] <sadbot> Programs shows no disk space available ,but enough is there ,in btrfs
[05:37] <sadbot> I deleted all snapshots too
[05:38] <Croran> my video card doesn't support vp9 hardware decode. Is there a good way to optimize vp9 software playback?
[05:38] <gry> sadbot: "but enough is there ,in btrfs" how do you know that?
[05:38] <Croran> Like, I want to watch 4k/60Hz 18Mbps video without lag.
[05:39] <sadbot> @gry: trying to tar xvf
[05:40] <sadbot> Croran:  maybe try converting to h264
[05:40] <sadbot> On the fly*
[05:42] <Croran> oh hey i just fixed it by turning off the software video equalizer.
[05:42] <Croran> funny that increases cpu usage by 100% even when you haven't adjusted any of its 'knobs'.
[05:43] <sadbot> Is this bug in btrfs , it's weird ,or i am noob
[05:44] <sadbot> sudo btrfs filesystem usage / ,also shows enough storage
[06:32] <sadbot> Goddamn i am an idiot problem is solved ,i did forgot i had home as different partition
[06:47] <Croran> is the linux-image-virtual package even relevant anymore? seems like it just installs a generic kernel.

[08:06] <manwhowouldbekin> Greetings all. It appears that an update broke my LAN connection. It has happened within the past 1.5 or so. The connection initiates, but is unable to ping anything. In the tray it shows up as active. I have tried what I could (cable, router, basic connection settings), but do not know how to troubleshoot it further. Any tips or help is appreciated.

[10:07] <ggAllin> hi
[10:32] <ztane> so is telegram-desktop apt package dead? I must get snapped?
[10:39] <lotuspsychje> ztane: its still on the repos
[10:42] <ztane> lotuspsychje: it is but when running client from that it says it is not up to date, go upgrade it :D
[10:43] <ztane> the dialog also says it does not *work* which I've also verified...
[10:43] <ztane> i.e. it doesn't sync messages in properly :D
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> ztane: i recently talked to another volunteer using the telegram desktop from the apt repos, says it works fine
[10:50] <ztane> hmmhmm haha I restarted it 3 times from the tray icon and it always complained (even after checking apt uptodate) but after 4th time it is not complaining any more, go figure :F
[10:50] <ztane> ah no...
[10:51] <ztane> no it doesn't
[10:52] <ztane> every time you start it there is a complaint dialog still. but what it also does is not sync incoming messages properly/in time any more.
[11:00] <lotuspsychje> ztane: see if your bug exists here, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telegram-desktop/+bugs?orderby=importance&start=0 if not, file a new !bug please
[11:07] <ogra_> the telegram-desktop deb comes as-is from debian and is not maintained in ubuntu AFAIK ... it just happens to come in with the auto-imports ... (should probably be blacklisted)
[11:08] <ztane> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telegram-desktop/+bug/1823299/comments/8 looks like someone commented on an old issue
[11:09] <ztane> ogra_: so I should use snap... :F but snaps litter my mount listing, even at minimum my df has 61 lines, mount outputs 96 lines :D
[11:10] <ogra_> yeah, some of that ugliness is fixed in newer releases (snap mounts get filtered in df nowadays)
[11:11] <ztane> ah, good to know. I am too old to live on the edge so LTS it is nowadays
[11:11] <ogra_> yeah, same for me :
[11:11] <ogra_> 🙂
[11:12] <lotuspsychje> !info telegram-desktop
[11:12] <ztane> hmm wat 3.1.1
[11:12] <ogra_> in impish
[11:13] <lotuspsychje> !info telegram-desktop focal
[11:13] <ogra_> yu could ask on the ubuntu-backports mailig list to get it into focal
[11:13] <ztane> yea.
[11:13] <lotuspsychje> good idea ogra_
[11:17] <KBar> What's the way to disable the DVD-RAM writer on a laptop permanently? I don't use it at all. Sometimes it pops out on its own. Very rarely, however very annoying.
[11:30] <KBar> Neither `eject -i 1 /dev/sr0` or `echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock` works.
[11:32] <lotuspsychje> KBar: maybe a blacklist to the module?

[11:41] <KBar> lotuspsychje, thanks. Will try.
[11:41] <lotuspsychje> heh
[11:41] <lotuspsychje> remove the drive will give him empty space, not so handy
[12:03] <KBar> Blacklisting sr_mod didn't help as well. I also removed /dev/sr0. No luck.
[12:03] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[12:04] <KBar> It looks like going dirty is the only way.
[12:05]  * KBar is gone to find a bigger hammer…

[12:21] <weedmic> oddly, it worked on my phone, but I cannot e-mail a 170mb file.  i've tried 3 linux machines even the mouser.com won't open.
[12:26] <KBar> Alright, a bigger hammer did the job.
[12:27] <KBar> A bigger hammer = commenting out a single line in one of udev's rules. Now eject works. Brilliant piece of software, Mr. Torvalds and Mr. Stallman!

[14:13] <Gaboradon> I guess some special config needed? Even tho is suppose to be driverless system?
[14:17] <MarcWUK> quick question are there ftdi drivers installed in Ubuntu and is there a way to update them

[14:57] <Gaboradon> Hi guys, seems like my printer DCP-J4120DW isn't supported properly, keeps waiting long then prints blank page, any way I could make it work, or just no luck with CUPS drivers from official repos, I have 20.04 LTS
[15:01] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=dcpj4120dw_eu_as&os=128
[15:01] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: first result on google for "ubuntu DCP-J4120DW"
[15:02] <Gaboradon> I did search about it ofcourse
[15:03] <Gaboradon> It is listed and detected automatically so that's why I'm not sure if it's unsupported, but it does say "driverless, cups-filters 1.27.4 (en)"
[15:04] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: did you install the drivers from the manufactures page that I linked to?
[15:05] <Gaboradon> I just didn't search with google, and all the previous threads, results never mentioned anything about linux so I assumed there's no official linux driver and didn't look more about it, thanks a lot
[15:15] <ph88> leftyfb, https://termbin.com/71rm
[15:16] <leftyfb> ph88: yep, see my followup replies
[15:16] <ph88> leftyfb, how can stop using it ?
[15:16] <leftyfb> ph88: remove it
[15:16] <ph88> ok
[15:17] <leftyfb> ph88: though it might have got pulled down from another package you installed from that PPA

[15:31] <Gaboradon> leftyfb: says "Open the terminal and go to the directory where the drivers are."
[15:31] <Gaboradon> Somewhere in root I guess
[15:32] <Gaboradon> Wouldn't dpkg do it's think from any dir ?
[15:32] <Gaboradon> thing*
[15:33] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadend.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=dcpj4120dw_eu_as&os=128&dlid=dlf006893_000&flang=4&type3=625&dlang=true
[15:34] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: download and install that
[15:42] <Gaboradon> Sure, it just takes more figuring out to do, I've never installed a deb package manually before
[15:44] <ioria> i doubt it's a real .deb, it's a tar.gz , you need to unpack it and run  an install .sh script
[15:46] <Gaboradon> There are 3 relevant debs, CUPS Wrapper, LPR and SCAN, The CUPS wrapper thing I think is for Network, but says I also need LPR so both, but I won't need SCAN
[15:46] <Gaboradon> Install tool perhaps is optional but I'll take a look at it
[15:47] <KBar> Well, .deb is just an ar archive anyway.
[15:47] <ioria> Gaboradon, don't you have a linux-brprinter*.sh  script  or similar ?
[15:49] <Gaboradon> Kinda, the driver install tool has an extensionless file that appears to be bash, so I guess that's the script
[15:49] <Gaboradon> But it's like old from 2014 ... should I really blindly run it on a much newer linux
[15:49] <KBar> Gaboradon, use file on it to be sure.
[15:50] <ioria> Gaboradon, if it's a wifi setup, you might need (for the first install) a usb connection anyways
[15:51] <Gaboradon> Is there some site  or utility that could check for bash syntax and parse it a bit to show warnings and stuff ?
[15:51] <Gaboradon> The scrip seems very extensive and does a lot of stuff
[15:52] <SnowWhite> shellcheck
[15:52] <ioria> yes... but not sure if would be any good
[15:52] <ioria> that ^
[15:53] <Gaboradon> ioria: indeed that what I was thinking as well, install might need USB connection, only later WiFi only, I would need to carry the whole thing here, unplug and set it up, I guess it won't happen right away now
[15:53] <Gaboradon> Printer is not even mine so that's that, it's shared so I need to ask other people
[15:53] <ioria> Gaboradon, this is the best i can find (tested, iirc) :  https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/brother-printers.html
[15:54] <Gaboradon> When you download .debs from that site, it gives you very short install instructions, just running dpkg and checking, and done, but the script is huge
[15:54] <ioria> Gaboradon, note the "First remove any existing instance of the Brother printer in the application Printers
[15:57] <yates> is a session restart required after editing ~/.config/mimeapps.list?
[15:57] <Gaboradon> line 121: linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1: <stdout>: commitBuffer: invalid argument (invalid character)
[15:57] <yates> i changed my pdf reader and... no workie
[15:58] <yates> not with xdg-open my.pdf
[15:58] <leftyfb> yates: log out and back in
[15:58] <Gaboradon> There's 1 error and 2 warnigns about double quotes, some backward slashes, and that error I posted about invalid arg
[15:59] <Gaboradon> This definitely won't be a quick thing, but no surprise this is what installing on linux is something I thought it would be
[15:59] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: are you seeing these errors in a linter or from attempting to run it?
[15:59] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: running a driver installer script through a linter might not work properly
[16:04] <ioria> Gaboradon, might be locale issue; put beforehand  'export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 -; sudo bash linux-brprinter*'
[16:06] <ioria> Gaboradon, sy, i mean :  'export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 ; sudo bash linux-brprinter*'
[16:14] <Gaboradon> leftyfb: Yeah the errors are shown by shellcheck
[16:14] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: that probably isn't going to mean much
[16:17] <Gaboradon> The script seems to download stuff beforehand, so getting those debs down I already did manually perhaps, trying to see if it's actually required or I could do it manually myself
[16:18] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: you should contact Brother for further support for their driver installation script
[16:20] <Gaboradon> Seems like the script is made for multiple models, auto download, multiple distros,  think it's actually a general thing and perhaps not necessary
[16:21] <Gaboradon> uninstaller and stuff like that
[16:59] <beached> Is this the ubuntu help irc?
[17:00] <leftyfb> beached: yes
[17:00] <beached> I have been in audio nightmare mode all morning. I tried lots of things to get it working, but ultimately got audio "Working" by upgrading from v20 to v21replaced pulse audio with pipewire.
[17:00] <beached> I have a new issue though, the audio related Fn keys no longer work. All other Fn keys work fine, just mute, volume down, and volume up do not work.
[17:00] <beached> Also, there is no audio system tray icon any more. It is missing, and there is no option for audio in entries to change to always show/when relevant/etc
[17:00] <beached> My only way to edit volume is pulse volume control application and clicking and dragging the slider. Which is of course, inconvenient.
[17:01] <beached> My googling options are running a little thin, was hoping for something I cannot find on the first 3 pages of google and ddg
[17:04] <beached> Well F, just should have asked earlier
[17:05] <beached> https://askubuntu.com/questions/997334/sound-volume-icon-volume-control-widget-disappears-from-tray-and-fn-f11-fn-f12
[17:05] <beached> did the trick for me. I no longer need help i guess. TY anyways!
[17:10] <Gaboradon> Weird printer stuff, I was going into printer web management, navigated the network pages, checked protocols, suddenly Ubuntu detects another printer
[17:10] <Gaboradon> With a longer name, again location implicitclass like the main usual one, implicitclass://Brother_DCP_J4120DW%40PRNT-DCPJ4120DWW-WIFI.local/
[17:11] <Gaboradon> And it works printing simple documents there that aren't size, I was able to print a few lines and "TEST", while Print Test Page throws out all kinds of error on both
[17:12] <Gaboradon> But I can't print the large full page documents with a lot to transfer so there's some weird issue with the default driver, it supports, detects, but doesn't work
[17:26] <Gaboradon> I was deleting printers in KDE GUI, CUPS keeps reconnecting with one of them and wont let it delete
[17:27] <Gaboradon> I deleted the other one, tried to delete this one multiple times, then I got an Ubuntu Internal Error GUI warning
[17:28] <Gaboradon> Apport - Experiencing and internal error, try restarting the PC: details Executable path: /usr/share/system-config-printer/scp-dbus-service.py
[17:29] <kevgao> no idea what's wrong, but why not try disabling all of them and connect your printer to cloud instead
[17:31] <Gaboradon> journalctl has a warning on that file, says org.fedoraproject.Config.Printing[37456]: /usr/share/system-config-printer/scp-dbus-service.py:602: DeprecationWarning: Gdk.threads_enter is deprecated
[17:32] <Gaboradon> I can still do everything normally tho, Printing GUI also keeps working
[17:38] <Gaboradon> Also there's an authentication needed for /usr/share/apport/dump_acpi_tables.py ... that appeared later, maybe something to do with the error message
[17:55] <lemsip> so, I've got a VPN connection that's managed independently of NetworkManager, and I set it's DNS config via systemd-resolved. However, that config is wiped from systemd-resolved when I do a systemctl restart NetworkManager. Why is this the case?
[17:56] <leftyfb> because NM manages your networking
[17:56] <leftyfb> lemsip: why are you restarting NM?
[17:57] <lemsip> leftyfb: thsi happens during upgrades. NM is explicitly leaving my device in an unmanaged state, so it shouldn't touch it's config.
[17:57] <lemsip> Or so I've gathered from #nm some moons ago.
[17:57] <lemsip> Since I did not use NM to configure my wireguard device, NM shouldn't touch it's DNS config in systemd-resolved.
[18:00] <lemsip> leftyfb: for instance, in Fedora 34, this doesn't happen.
[18:00] <lemsip> so I don't think this is related to vanilla NM but on Ubuntu and it's cousins. This is a problem because NM is often restarted during upgrades, and then silently my DNS config gets wiped.
[18:09] <Gaboradon> I got this dpkg error: mkdir: cannot create directory '/var/spool/lpd/dcpj4120dw': No such file or directory
[18:10] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: at this point you should REALLY contact Brother for further support with their driver install script
[18:10] <Gaboradon> I'm following their deb installation instruction, not the script.
[18:11] <Gaboradon> I haven't touched the script at all
[18:11] <Gaboradon> They said I have to use --force-all, to skip errors, but I wanted to see what it tries to do that's supposably going to error out
[18:14] <Gaboradon> I think I figured what the problem is, this is one of the quirks of linux that never happes on windows, if directories don't exist they get made and no error ever happens in such case
[18:15] <Gaboradon> The preceeding directory didn't exist, lpd, mkdir doesn't make it and ouputs a stupid error message
[18:17] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: no, that is one of the "quirks" of the script or application. It's not the job of the OS to make assumptions. Also, Windows, the OS, does not create directories automatically when something attempts to write to one that doesn't exist. That is the job of the installer or application.
[18:19] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: please direct all further support questions or updates relating to Brother's install script to Brother.
[18:19] <Gaboradon> I didn't ran script, I ran "sudo dpkg -i  brother-lpr-driver-i386.deb"  once I manually created lpd file with "sudo mkdir lpd" in /var/spool, it worked.
[18:19] <Gaboradon> lpd folder* (not file)
[18:19] <origintopleft> it's still brother's fault
[18:19] <origintopleft> they did it wrong
[18:20] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: ok, then whoever created that package (Brother), made false assumptions and didn't do their job properly. That is called a bug, with their package. Not Ubuntu and not "Linux"
[18:20] <Gaboradon> Sure, technically that's right
[18:24] <Gaboradon> It all works now, that big Install Setup script wasn't needed indeed, after installing the CUPS driver it all set up no error, printer was configured automatically and already printed a test page fine, looks like there's more functions and even ink info.
[18:26] <leftyfb> Gaboradon: feel free to file bugs with Brother and/or write up some documentation on wiki.ubuntu.com so others can benefit from your efforts
[18:29] <Gaboradon> Will try, thanks a lot guys, and a lesson for me to actually go look up the official drivers next time more diligently.
[19:14] <jhutchins> Gaboradon: I'm betting that the parent directory /var/spool/lpd doesn't exist, and Brother neglected to use -p to create the parents.
[19:14] <jhutchins> Gaboradon: Brother does not support my printer on 64b architecture.
[19:15] <jhutchins> Gaboradon: Fortunately, CUPS seems to be able to cope without the wrapper.
[19:15] <Gaboradon> Yeah, this is a 32bit driver I think I had here, but it works on 64bit OS
[19:30] <manu1> hi
[19:50] <Muligan> anybody using Quagga w/Ubuntu by anychance?
[19:53] <leftyfb> Muligan: it's best if you ask your support questions and not take a survey which is unlikely to result in anything productive
[19:53] <ash_worksi> wow, the default nginx ubuntu config recommends turning off gzip on ssl servers due to a bug in v1.6 (fixed in 1.9; ubuntu repos for 18 serve 1.16)
[19:54] <Muligan> leftyfb, I'm essentially inquiring about it's usage this day in age before plummeting down the rabbit hole
[19:54] <ash_worksi> checking the most recent version now
[19:55] <ash_worksi> well, I'm checking focal
[19:57] <sarnold> Muligan: I think quagga is pretty unhappy; check out frr https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/frr/+bug/1951834
[21:24] <fossapup> for puppy linux :  how to make a desktop shortcut for a menu entry?
[21:25] <fossapup> can anybody answer the query?
[21:25] <Et-17> this is a channel for ubuntu not puppy linux
[21:26] <fossapup> well, fossapuppy is based on ubuntu 20.04
[21:27] <fossapup> So, it's the right question in right den I believe.
[21:27] <srv> yes but this is only for official falvors
[21:27] <srv> for other you have to go to de distro channel
[21:27] <srv> flavors*
[21:27] <srv> read the topic
[21:28] <fossapup> OK,  Another ubuntu query
[21:28] <fossapup> my windows play sound well
[21:28] <fossapup> but the ubuntu doesn't
[21:29] <fossapup> does dound depend on OS?
[21:29] <Et-17> so your windows computer plays sound well, but your ubuntu computer plays it worse? maybe your sound drivers for ubuntu are worse, or outdated
[21:29] <Et-17> the actual hardware itself prob doesn't care about the os, but the driver that the os uses to interface with it is really important
[21:29] <fossapup> Ubuntu couldn't play it at all
[21:30] <Et-17> is it just the one headphone? or is it with all of them?
[21:30] <fossapup> no sound : speaker / headphone
[21:31] <Et-17> did you turn your computer off and on again
[21:31] <fossapup> tried almost all quaks over internet, failed
[21:31] <Et-17> well, i have nothing for you but checking and making sure your drivers are up to date for your sound card
[21:32] <fossapup> how to do that?
[21:34] <fossapup> how to update audio drivers in ubuntu?
[21:34] <fossapup> can anybody answer?
[21:34] <Et-17> not really sure how to do that off the top of my head, but you would probably be able to find some good tutorials on the web. You might be able to download the drivers for your card from the makers of the card or smth, but the location that you get the actual driver from is dependent on the device.
[21:37] <fossapup> the makers are Everest, as found @windows
[21:37] <fossapup> can i get it from them?
[21:38] <Et-17> maybe. you should check the webpage, and see what you can find. theres not really one place to download all drivers.
[21:38] <Et-17> i've nevre downloaded drivers in ubuntu so i can't speak for the exact process though
[21:40] <fossapup> how to identify sound  card in ubuntu?
[21:40] <plt> Hello
[21:40] <dbasinge> fossapup: lspci
[21:41] <plt> I am having issue with postfix https://pastebin.com/5bgMEU56
[21:41] <plt> Dec  6 15:32:25 condor3616 postfix/master[24013]: fatal: open lock file /var/lib/postfix/master.lock: unable to set exclusive lock: Resource temporarily unavailable
[21:42] <Et-17> fossapup: i don't know. im not very good with ubuntu, and have offered all the help that i can, but you might be able to find a good article on the subject. there are a lot of htem out there.
[21:43] <plt> Now I want to smack postfix
[21:45] <fossapup> audio device = Intel 3198
[21:45] <fossapup> then how to proceed?
[21:46] <scottg489> Is there a way to stop the boot up output (dmesg?) from overflowing into the tty login prompt? The login prompt will display and then some output will still be going. Nbd but just installed a new system and thought I'd ask
[21:51] <klausfiend> scottg489: not really, although it only affects tty1 generally … the reason is that some of these tools (dmesg, the system log) use the "physical" terminals for output for some messages, so it's normal to see at least some things on the terminal if your system is doing something unusual (like booting up, or running out of memory)
[22:00] <jhutchins> scottg489: Switch to tty2.
[22:02] <plt> How can I get in touch with the ubuntu postfix developers. We go to have a long talk.
[22:03] <leftyfb> plt: http://www.postfix.org/lists.html
[22:03] <klausfiend> scottg489: yeah, what jhutchins says … tty1 tends to be a dumping ground
[22:04] <scottg489> jhutchins: klausfiend: I swear I've seen dmesg output in all my tty's before. I was trying to escape a constant output in tty1 once so I went to tty2 expecting the output to not be there but it was
[22:09] <jhutchins> plt: So out of the millions of people who've run postfix for decades, you're the only one to discover these problems?
[22:11] <klausfiend> jhutchins: heh
[22:14] <fossapup> is there any way to get in touch with an expert on ubuntu audio drivers?
[22:31] <ash_worksi> btw, I just confirmed that the comment for the bug is on focal's nginx package
[22:32] <plt> lockfile error should not accure once the server is shutdown if the developer is using fioe.io.exist(filename) true or false
[22:32] <leftyfb> plt: take it up with the postfix developers that I linked you to above
[22:33] <leftyfb> plt: I've been running postfix on an ubuntu server for many many years now with no issue
[22:42] <plt> This  https://ubottu.com/y/dl
[23:03] <lantech19446> if i encrypt my drive on ubuntu server do I have to enter the passphrase every single time i reboot?
[23:04] <sarnold> I've heard some folks like to put the key material on a usb stick and leave that near the computer
[23:05] <lantech19446> I gotta do something like that because otherwise i'm going to have to roll a big ass monitor up to the computer every time i reboot it only has hdmi output and i'm doing everything by ssh
[23:05] <lantech19446> any guidance on making that key so that it'll pull from it automatically?
[23:13] <sarnold> does the machine have an ipmi / ILO / or whatever that would let you interact with the console from the comfort of your couch? heh
[23:13] <sarnold> there's a pikvm tool you could try, I think it'd fit that..
[23:14] <lantech19446> ok
[23:14] <sarnold> this guide looks sane on a first pass https://www.straybits.org/post/2019/ubuntu-18-04-encrypted-disks-with-usb-boot/
[23:15] <sarnold> that's a bit more work than I expected
[23:15] <plt> The issue is postfix not the server.
[23:16] <lantech19446> so far all of them look more involved than just reinstalling without encryption
[23:16] <plt> me?
[23:21] <sarnold> plt: no, lantech19446's working another problem
[23:21] <sarnold> lantech19446: hah, yeah, definitely unencrypted is easier to boot unattended..
[23:22] <lantech19446> I didn't realize I would have to enter it every time i rebooted, i'm used to windows encryption where it's only needed if some piece of hardware changes
[23:23] <sarnold> ah, that's probably a TPM-based unlock? that's in development now, in ubuntu core, and will probably come to the distribution once it's seen wider user
[23:24] <plt> ok
[23:26] <lantech19446> sarnold: I guess for the moment i'll just keep ansible where it is and setup keys on the windoze devices too then I won't have to worry about encrypting it anyway
[23:28] <xu-irc74w> hello how to mount phone disk mannualy
[23:38] <plt> This is not good address to contact the ubuntu developers  https://ubottu.com/y/g
 plt: I've been running postfix on an ubuntu server for many many years now with no issue What version are you running and shutdown the server file lock should never accure
[23:40] <plt> If fileio.exist (FilelockName) = True
[23:40] <plt> delete file
[23:40] <plt> end if
[23:41] <plt> It could be plesk doing it. If so, then i will talked to them and make them fix it.
[23:44] <leftyfb> plt: I'm running multiple versions across multiple servers. Regardless, you should either ask for help with your actual goals and error messages in #ubuntu-server or contact the postfix developers of you have concerns with the way postfix is developed. Good luck
[23:46] <leftyfb> plt: any VPS running splesk probably isn't supported here as they tend to be very customized instances of Ubuntu
