[00:00] <BinarySavior> i noticed pandas is taking forever to build wheel
[00:01] <BinarySavior> could it be because my gpu is not being used?
[00:01] <BinarySavior> i did lshw -C and it said my video card is unclaimed
[00:01] <BinarySavior> it's using onboard card (on a laptop)
[00:01] <BinarySavior> it's nvidia geforce gtx 1080 ti
[00:16] <ash_worksi> in regards to getrlimit, what's a resource limit? like the number of users that can use a resource in parallel?
[00:18] <ash_worksi> continuing to read the `man` it looks like the amount of memory a resource can consume
[00:18] <ash_worksi> I guess
[00:43] <rfm> ash_worksi, it's the limit of how much of several resources a process may use.  The "ulimit -a" shell command will list them with names and current limits.
[01:14] <DarkTrick> After upgrade 21.04 -> 21.10 I can't update my system with error "systemd is not configured yet"
[01:14] <DarkTrick> how can I "configure" systemd, then?
[01:16] <sarnold> DarkTrick: try dpkg --configure -a   and see if that does the trick
[01:16] <Bashing-om> DarkTrick: Try ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure systemd ' .
[01:17] <DarkTrick> sarnold, prints many errors
[01:17] <DarkTrick> Bashing-om, systemd is broken or not fully installed
[01:18] <DarkTrick> First error with "-a" is installed systemd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127
[01:18] <DarkTrick> full output of --configure -a: https://pastebin.com/AnVB5zJv
[01:18] <Bashing-om> sarnold: So next up is to show us in a pastebin the output of ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade '.
[01:20] <Bashing-om> !info systemd impish
[01:26] <DarkTrick> Hm... apparently this is a problem: `systemd-machine-id-setup: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-shared-247.so`
[01:26] <DarkTrick> How come it's not in the repos?
[01:29] <sarnold> DarkTrick: because the ...-247 version comes from hirsute https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/amd64/systemd/filelist -- impish will have a -248 version: https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/amd64/systemd/filelist
[01:29] <Bashing-om> DarkTrick: Yukkie - it is ....248 that the kernel is looking for: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libsystemd-shared&mode=filename&suite=impish&arch=any .
[01:30] <DarkTrick> so why would my system try to get 247?
[01:31] <DarkTrick> From what I see (almost no packages upgraded), it looks like the system hangs in a state between 21.04 and 10: some parts think they are 21.04 (systemd) and some parts think 21.10
[01:31] <sarnold> how did you start this upgrade?
[01:32] <DarkTrick> sudo do-release-upgrade
[01:32] <sarnold> okay, fear number one handled..
[01:32] <DarkTrick> btw. `apt install libsystemd-shared` says "unable to locate"
[01:32] <sarnold> yeah, that library is directly in the systemd package
[01:33] <DarkTrick> sarnold, I tried GUI before, but that opened and then closed again without any information what was going on
[01:33] <sarnold> as is the systemd-machine-id-setup command
[01:33] <DarkTrick> what's the best way to recover from this?
[01:34] <Bashing-om> DarkTrick: Might try ' sudo apt install --reinstall systemd ' ??
[01:35] <DarkTrick> Bashing-om, "E: Internal Error, No file name for systemd:amd64"
[01:35] <sarnold> ow
[01:35] <sarnold> DarkTrick: okay, how about ls -l /bin/systemd-machine-id-setup /usr/bin/systemd-machine-id-setup
[01:35] <DarkTrick> sarnold, shows 2 files: /bin/systemd... and /usr/bin/systemd...
[01:36] <sarnold> DarkTrick: are they exactly the same or are they different?
[01:36] <sarnold> actually, ls -li would be better
[01:36] <DarkTrick> sarnold, first number is size?
[01:36] <DarkTrick> then they are diffferent
[01:37] <DarkTrick>  /bin is 1709030, while /usr/bin is 876513
[01:37] <DarkTrick> also... /usr/bin is from march this year, while /bin is from october
[01:38] <DarkTrick> march -> may
[01:38] <sarnold> DarkTrick: I wonder if you're missing this symlink:
[01:38] <sarnold> ± ls -ld /bin
[01:38] <sarnold> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 10  2019 /bin -> usr/bin
[01:39] <DarkTrick> `ls -ld /bin` shows /bin as a directory, not symlink to usr/bin
[01:40] <sarnold> man, this isn't going to be fun to untangle. I hate usrmerge so much.
[01:40] <DarkTrick> how can this even happen?
[01:40] <DarkTrick> I can't remember manually playing around in that area :/
[01:42] <sarnold> DarkTrick: so, I *think* the best route forward is going to be to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.postinst by hand, find the line systemd-machine-id-setup, comment it out, and try the dpkg --configure -a  step again. there's a handful more systemd commands further on in that file :( it might still give trouble.. but this is a quick easy thing
[01:44] <DarkTrick> sarnold, looks better
[01:45] <DarkTrick> sarnold, still can't find libsystemd-shared, but other errors did not occur: https://pastebin.com/t2X4PgCh
[01:45] <DarkTrick> upgrade of packages starts now
[01:46] <DarkTrick> sarnold, I guess in the long run, I should make /bin a symlink to /usr/bin ?
[01:48] <sarnold> DarkTrick: here's a similar debian bug report .. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=945582  .. the advice there is a bit hard to convey..
[01:49] <sarnold> (And I don't know if the advice is valid for ubuntu, or still valid two years later!)
[01:50] <noj> hi all am having trouble getting a kindle to show up when connected via usb to a Ubuntu 21.10 desktop. tried different cords looking for trust settings on the kindle and different ports. Nothing show lsusb either
[01:51] <sarnold> DarkTrick: can you file a bug on this, ubuntu-bug systemd -- I'm surprised this showed up like this..
[01:59] <DarkTrick> sarnold, Could you take a look at this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1938065  Does it look like it's what's happened to me?
[02:00] <sarnold> DarkTrick: yeah, that looks pretty similar
[02:00] <DarkTrick> sarnold, do you think the usrmerge command is save?
[02:00] <sarnold> "This was a byproduct of a incomplete usrmerge" indeed feels like my conclusion, or maybe "not started" or something similar..
[02:00] <sarnold> DarkTrick: probably not, no
[02:05] <DarkTrick> sarnold, what you said sounded like /bin should indeed be a symlink to /usr/bin (and according to the net, /lib -> /usr/lib as well). I.e. that was the problem in the first place? So I would guess this is going to hit me again at the next upgrade? So in the long run, I would have to run usrmerge at some point?
[02:08] <sarnold> DarkTrick: I'm not sure -- I just don't know enough about all this. the advice in that debian bug is to hand-delete the 'wrong' executables, leftovers from the old systemd package, that weren't properly replaced by the upgrade
[02:08] <sarnold> DarkTrick: but I don't know a fast way / good way / reliable way to do this. all I can think of is a very slow and frustrating manual check for all these things..
[02:09] <DarkTrick> sarnold, At least my system seemed to have upgraded for now. Thank you very much for that!
[02:10] <DarkTrick> Also, thank you Bashing-om for the involvement!
[02:10] <sarnold> DarkTrick: oh! actually, the error output from your upgrade here gave us a few good candidates :)
[02:11] <Bashing-om> DarkTrick: Has my interest :D
[02:12] <sarnold> DarkTrick: try ls -li /bin/journalctl /usr/bin/journalctl /bin/systemd-tmpfiles /usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles  -- chances are good, all four files are different, and two of them are significantly older than the other two
[02:14] <DarkTrick> sarnold, older: yes, different: difficult to explain:: https://pastebin.com/0LEnURJN
[02:15] <DarkTrick> ah.. the sign "月" means month
[02:15] <sarnold> lucky that's easy enough to guess :) hehe
[02:15] <sarnold> DarkTrick: I think, move /usr/bin/journalctl and /usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles out of the way
[02:15] <DarkTrick> sarnold, ie `rm`?
[02:16] <sarnold> (the advice in the debian bug is to just delete them, but that seems like a Big Step :)
[02:16] <sarnold> hehe
[02:16] <sarnold> I was thinking mv /usr/bin/journalctl /usr/bin/journalctl.deleteme and mv /usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles /usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles.deleteme
[02:17] <DarkTrick> lol, exactly what I was thinking :D
[02:17] <DarkTrick> "deleteme"
[02:19] <sarnold> :D
[02:21] <DarkTrick> sarnold, I don't understand the involvement of journalctl in all this. To me this looks like just one example out of many (?)
[02:21] <DarkTrick> (As the debian report says "search for duplicates and remove them"
[02:22] <Kuleshov> https://dchub.one Welcome to International Advanced Direct Connect Hub with Encryption Security and Unicode support.
[02:24] <sarnold> DarkTrick: yeah, that's probably the right thing to do
[02:25] <hard87> hi
[02:25] <DarkTrick> sarnold, is that what usrmerge is supposed to do as well?
[02:26] <sarnold> DarkTrick: I"m not sure, but that command scares me. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, or not.
[02:26] <DarkTrick> k
[02:27] <hard87> how this work
[02:29] <hard87> someone from Brasil?
[02:32] <DarkTrick> sarnold, judging from https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/usrmerge it seems exactly like that
[02:32] <DarkTrick> sarnold, however one thing, you mentioned a symlink from /bin to /usr/bin (not single executables).
[02:32] <DarkTrick> Does your system has that symlink?
[02:33] <sarnold> DarkTrick: https://termbin.com/f5r2r
[02:34] <DarkTrick> sarnold, thanks
[04:03] <tsujp> so i can see information on how to change touchpad sensitivity with Synaptics, but I have ubuntu with libinput
[04:04] <tsujp> How do I make my touchpad less sensitive to clicks? Right now it registers even the lightest touch as a click which is annoying to say the least
[04:06] <sarnold> tsujp: try "xinput list" to get the list of your devices
[04:08] <sarnold> tsujp: and then do something like: xinput list-props "Synaptics TM3289-021"
[04:08] <sarnold> but replace my device string with your device string
[04:08] <sarnold> sadly I don't know where to find out what these properties *mean*
[04:08] <tsujp> But that's if i use synaptics, which I don't
[04:08] <sarnold> hopefully whatever device you do have will have properties that you can set
[04:08] <tsujp> sarnold that is if I use Synaptics. I use libinput
[04:09] <sarnold> tsujp: yes, I also use libinput.
[04:09] <sarnold> tsujp: please pretend I didn't copy-paste my device name :)
[04:10] <tsujp> sarnold http://ix.io/3Hk2
[04:12] <tsujp> thats the output for xinput list-props 25
[04:12] <sarnold> tsujp: nice nice.. promising. this next thing is a *guess*..
[04:13] <sarnold> xinput set-prop 'Apple Inc. Magic Trackpad 2' 'libinput Click Method Enabled' '1, 0'
[04:14] <sarnold> that '1, 0' is my guess -- I think the '1, 1' on the libinput Click Methods Available line mean that there's two different methods that you can try, and currently "0, 1" is selecting the second one. So I'm hoping "1, 0" will select the first one, and I'm hoping it's more useful.
[04:15] <tsujp> the command that worked is `xinput set-prop 'Apple Inc. Magic Trackpad 2' 327 1 0`
[04:15] <tsujp> time will tell if it was the correct thing to do
[04:16] <sarnold> tsujp: sweet; I had bad luck with the numbers on my own system, they seemed to move around in ways I can't recall now :( that's how I got to use the long strings instead
[04:16] <sarnold> tsujp: but you don't immediately hate it?
[04:16] <tsujp> why did you go for Click Method Enabled? Nah I don't immediately hate it
[04:16] <tsujp> im pressing pretty hard (wihtout clicking) and it's not thinking im clicking which is good
[04:17] <tsujp> and when I do click it doesn't think im click-dragging which is good
[04:17] <sarnold> tsujp: ah that's a good question. I wasn't sure about click vs tapping either, but 'click' seemed a bit clsoer to what you were after
[04:17] <tsujp> cos I quickly snap my hand onto the touchpad which is closer than a mouse, but it thinking I am clicking or click-dragging in the past makes it.. yeah annoying af as mentioned hehe
[04:17] <sarnold> *nod*
[04:18] <tsujp> many thanks for the help
[05:20] <fmkrs> how should i fix Ubuntu's apt and dpkg to recognize that depends are already met, because since the ubuntu naming schemes are **different** from the real names and hence version checking Fails on certain packages, and gd forbid you install a package it thinks doesnt have the depends cause it locks all installing of any packages until you manually get dkpg to uninstall said package you needed...?
[05:24] <fmkrs> example i am in an emergency where (Ubuntu) nemo decided to NOT unmount or unlock or whatever the patition i fetched a file from, then told it too unmount then waited 2 minutes to run clonezilla, and then it decided the partition  was doing something and then damaged that file system...so NOW i really need wxhexeditor or anything like HxD to fetch and fix the partition table **without** erasing the partion uuid on disk
[05:25] <Bashing-om> !pin | fmkrs This help ?
[05:25] <fmkrs> apt update, and all that and still it refuses to let me installing any usable hex editor i am so mad, this is the second time i needed a package that it refuses to understand the depends are already installed
[05:26] <fmkrs> le package is in sympaptget its from the ubuntu's own repo
[05:28] <fmkrs> try wxhexeditor Depends: libdisasm0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libmhash2 (>=0.9.9.9) but it is not installable  Depends: libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 but it is not going to be installed
[05:30] <fmkrs> also
[05:30] <fmkrs> wxmedit
[05:30] <fmkrs> now it wont even let me see it
[05:36] <fmkrs> wxmedit says dependaccy not satisfiable libcurl3-nss (>=7.23.1) if i look then i see that infact version 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.7   IS installed! ubunutu has lied to it self i am so mad. i have no idaea  how to fix this or  what to even look up. why does apt and or dpkg do this instanty??
[05:36] <fmkrs> here simple see i have proof
[05:36] <fmkrs> 7.68.0 > 7.23.1
[05:36] <fmkrs> and i am on 20 lts
[05:40] <Bashing-om> !info libcurl3-nss | focal
[05:40] <fmkrs> pinning Bashing-om does not seem to be the solution, the system is already set up to be lts 20,
[05:42] <fmkrs> le sigh how do i force it to do a name conversion from actuallibname-version-ubuntu to actuallibname-version to understand that depend already exists??
[05:42] <fmkrs> there should be rationally speaking some system wide thing to do such a task yes???
[05:43] <fmkrs> linux people surly do not expect users to make fake packages for all this brokeness?

[07:51] <doofenshmirtz> hi, I am new to Ubuntu. I was wondering why `su -` doesn't make me root.
[07:56] <geirha> doofenshmirtz: because the root use does not have a password. Use sudo instead
[07:58] <doofenshmirtz> root not having a password is ubuntu specific?
[07:58] <doofenshmirtz> this is weird
[07:59] <geirha> !root | doofenshmirtz
[08:01] <doofenshmirtz> yeah, `sudo su -` works. I understand, but I have not seen this in my other distro.
[08:02] <doofenshmirtz> also, what will `sudo passwd root` do?
[08:02] <geirha> No point in using both sudo and su.   sudo -i  to get a root login shell
[08:03] <tomreyn> it would set a root password
[08:03] <doofenshmirtz> and then `su -` will work?
[08:04] <tomreyn> yes, but then you'll be working in a way that's no longer how ubuntu recommends it
[08:05] <tomreyn> restricted users, with passwords, some of which can gain root via sudo, is how ubuntu recommends it
[08:05] <tomreyn> well there are also restricted users without passwords, of course, specifically system users
[08:11] <doofenshmirtz> ok then
[08:15] <freeman> hi
[08:17] <EriC^^> hello
[08:18] <freeman> where are you from?
[08:20] <EriC^^> lebanon
[08:20] <EriC^^> !offtopic | freeman
[08:23] <fmkrs> you can change the root password with the shadow file doofenshmirtz and this is a mysterious thing. I su instead of sudo, and there is away to clear the password so it's blank.
[08:25] <fmkrs> even IF you login as root, many ubuntu things expect you to be a user and they do the password popup bs such as the package manager, it will still try to gain root perms this way even if you are root logged in, and so the annoyance will still be a factor
[08:26] <doofenshmirtz> Ubuntu works very different from other Linux distros.
[08:27] <doofenshmirtz> the Ubuntu way is to avoid being the root and use sudo for everything.
[08:27] <klausfiend> no, not in this way.
[08:27] <klausfiend> that's been the standard way for RHEL derivatives for some time as well
[08:28] <fmkrs> doofenshmirtz, i suggest googleing/binging "ubuntu adding user to the wheel" and "remove password from /etc/shadow file"
[08:28] <klausfiend> using the root account specifically vs. sudo is generally frowned upon these days as it muddies the audit trail and forces multiple admins to maintain a shared secret
[08:29] <doofenshmirtz> oh. now I see why.
[08:30] <doofenshmirtz> never used RHEL or it's childern.
[08:30] <fmkrs> it's frowned upon by globalist companies, and they intern supply collages with $$ to make their curriculum fit the humans as a robot in a cubical motif. not being root is being in a box.
[08:31] <doofenshmirtz> yeah, I agree.
[08:31] <fmkrs> there are to many annoying things I have to do to get ubuntu to work that require simple file edits, a copy or paste here, etc. but like i said most programs aren't root aware so if u wanna login as root, u'll need to mess with the shawdow file...they will still nag u
[08:33] <fmkrs> su and the su app on android makes the most sense, you have a lsit of auto granted root perms no nag screens and u can see what has it and doesn't, full controls...
[08:33] <doofenshmirtz> what? you can `su -` in Android?
[08:33] <fmkrs> ubuntu with systemMD doesn't have a true root user login fyi, its kinda a fake one.
[08:33] <doofenshmirtz> wait let me check
[08:34] <fmkrs> yes if u root your phone ha!
[08:34] <p3rL> hi
[08:34] <fmkrs> yes?
[08:34] <p3rL> ufw is not blockingi p after deny still connected to port 80
[08:35] <doofenshmirtz> fmkrs, I just checked on my Galaxy. I cannot do be root.
[08:35] <p3rL> how can i block a IP ?
[08:36] <doofenshmirtz> are there phones that allow you to be root. Samsung apparently doesn't. How can I find the root password on Android?
[08:37] <fmkrs> allow??? like i said about the walmart-esk, ma-bell, ibms of the world? not out of the box, search XDA forums.
[08:37] <fmkrs> to block an IP like from a browser? or with in a router? p3rL
[08:38] <p3rL> im tryin to block this ip
[08:38] <p3rL> [ 1] Anywhere                   DENY IN     202.46.1.87
[08:38] <p3rL> but still its connected
[08:38] <p3rL> even i have added my own ip and i can connect to SSH
[08:38] <fmkrs> i wold suggest a hosts file type of blocking that way the dns record will get denied or spoofed to a blackhole
[08:39] <klausfiend> honestly you should use multiple approaches if you really need to keep a rogue client out
[08:39] <klausfiend> fail2ban is also helpful in situations like this
[08:40] <doofenshmirtz> this is not good. I buy phone with my own money. device belongs to me. and I cannot root. doesn't make sense. if ASUS, DELL or HP did that, people will be up with pitchforks.
[08:40] <klausfiend> the OS is not the device
[08:40] <klausfiend> sudo su -
[08:40] <klausfiend> if you really want to set a root password, just "passwd root" like always
[08:41] <klausfiend> and learn which files you need to modify to authorize direct root access via the console and/or SSH
[08:44] <fmkrs> doofenshmirtz, i feel you, glad you awake. search XDA for an exploit to root, and or custom recovery like TWRP
[08:44] <fmkrs> god help you if u have a unisoc soc cpu...
[08:45] <fmkrs> and then u can make use to ubuntu (on topic) to use the lastest adb and fastboot wooo!
[08:46] <doofenshmirtz> fmkrs, I don't think I have never needed to root on my Galaxy. Doesn't seem like useful feature.
[08:46] <fmkrs> p3rL, hate to say have you told the thing to reboot so that 202.46.1.87 is forced to reconnect so that where upon it will get denied?
[08:46] <doofenshmirtz> I just tried being root (in Termux) out of curiosity.
[08:47] <p3rL> fmkrs ufw insert 1 deny from x.x.x.x to any < and then ufw restart ... but im still able to connect from that ip
[08:48] <fmkrs> doofenshmirtz, yes yes yes until your fave chat or app or game stops working cause you need updated ca certs and you refuse to put a pin in your phone, or perhaps you want to debloat everything, or worse case you need to recovery with a broken screen and digitzer leaving with adb via the custom recovery you installed...
[08:49] <fmkrs> p3rL,idk what thingy it is u are using....may i suggest if it is a router to use a MAC filter block
[08:50] <p3rL> its blocking the ip but not blocking the connected sessions
[08:50] <fmkrs> i block "ip"s via ubound dns running dietpi, a Debian spin
[08:51] <fmkrs> oh ssh doesnt use port 80? what about all the ports?
[08:51] <doofenshmirtz> fmkrs, yeah. you mentioned three cases and I fall into two of them. I don't put PIN on my phone. And I want get rid of some apps that I don't use but they are not uninstallable. I think I should root.
[08:51] <fmkrs> i got no idea p3rL sorry blind leading the bline
[08:52] <fmkrs> and if you are COOL doofenshmirtz Xpose frame work....
[08:53] <doofenshmirtz> does Samsung still provide upgrades if I root and what about warranty
[08:53] <Guest55> hi all "source code pro" font not in repo?
[08:53] <fmkrs> i dunna know. if u root it u can alway unroot it of u have to turn it in
[08:55] <fmkrs> ota updates may clear off the SU binary, they may clear off magisk, but then u can put it on again
[08:56] <fmkrs> can some one explain why an program that lags in ubuntu will lag the entire OS?
[09:00] <doofenshmirtz> what Xpose, fmkrs ?
[09:00] <Guest55> hi all "source code pro" font not in repo?
[09:04] <klausfiend> it might not be in stable / testing if it's not GPL
[09:04] <klausfiend> you may need to add universe to your apt sources
[09:04] <KBar> Guest55, hey. You can check that from here: packages.ubuntu.com
[09:05] <klausfiend> but tbh i don't look at fonts much so that's only a suggestion
[09:06] <KBar> Guest55: what version of Ubuntu are you on?
[09:07] <Guest55> KBar impish
[09:07] <KBar> A quick apt search gives me this package: fonts-hack.
[09:07] <KBar> I don't know if it has that font, worth checking.
[09:08] <KBar> But I'm on impish.
[09:08] <KBar> whoops
[09:08] <KBar> I meant focal
[09:08] <Guest55> https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/all/fonts-hack/filelist
[09:10] <fmkrs> doofenshmirtz, you could after gaining root powers via sudo, edit /etc/shadow delete the hash of root's password, make it like this root::18410:0:99999:7:::
[09:11] <Guest55> thanks KBar hack fonts and source code pro fonts similar maybe i will use hack fonts
[09:12] <KBar> Guest55: it's actually available from Google: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Code+Pro#license
[09:12] <KBar> Click on Download family.
[09:13] <KBar> And follow the instructions.
[09:14] <fmkrs> =D i use lucida console that i merged with code2000 + tiberus cyberbit + CJK fonts to gain most of the possible glyps.
[10:06] <nikolam> Why Ubuntu ZFS implementation is not finding drive if it's device name gets changed? On other platforms using OpenZFS it seems it is not depending on device name at all?
[10:07] <nikolam> How I could refresh zfs 'cache file' on zpool import so that it would recognize drive that has device name changed?
[10:08] <nikolam> And why I even have this problem, when ZFS is made to recognize it's drives wherever they are plugged in and whatever they are named... ?
[10:35] <weedmic> if i do "parted>select /dev/sda p" it will list every partition - correct?  even if some are not linux?  I'm trying to ensure I am using the entire HDD and that someone didn't leave some windoze partition on there.
[10:39] <klausfiend> easier to do `parted /dev/sda print`
[10:39] <klausfiend> but yes
[10:42] <weedmic> p is print

[13:20] <KBar> VIA, are you on Xubuntu 20.04?
[13:38] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:48] <farkaan> What's a good "hardware information" _GUI_ utility for Ubuntu? A friend I helped switch to ubuntu recently wants something that'll show him all the information (including temperature sensors and such) like windows tools (probably) do
[13:54] <KBar> farkaan, lshw-gtk might be worth checking out.
[13:54] <farkaan> KBar: I'll take a look, thanks
[13:55] <KBar> farkaan, for sensors, sensors-applet, but
[13:55] <KBar> I'm not sure how it works.
[13:55] <farkaan> I found this thing called hardinfo, I'm checking it out on my debian box right now
[13:58] <farkaan> KBar: lshw-gtk seems to work okay but the ux is a bit iffy, I can't change the width of the panes so I can't see what I'm actually clicking on (1440p monitor)
[14:03] <KBar> farkaan, yeah, someone who's used to W-word probably wouldn't like it.
[14:04] <farkaan> Yeah seems like this hardinfo tool is okay
[14:04] <farkaan> I mean I'd much rather use inxi myself but it's hard to make regular people learn command line tools
[14:04] <KBar> Us *nix folks just prefer to just type in a couple of commands and go on with out lives.
[14:05] <KBar> Exactly.
[14:05] <farkaan> GNOME's about should show temperature imo but then again they probably want to keep things as /minimal/ as possible
[14:06] <KBar> farkaan: there is also a clone of CPU-z. worth looking into https://ubunlog.com/en/cpu-x-conoce-hardware-equipo/
[14:06] <KBar> Bonus points for being AppImage
[16:12] <pycode> hello everybody
[16:12] <pycode> what tool can i use to erase a disk completly?
[16:12] <pycode> i have an nvme and one ssd
[16:13] <pycode> i would like to wipe the drive completly
[16:14] <KBar> pycode GNOME Disks (called Disks), gparted, good old dd.
[16:17] <pycode> thanks KBar
[16:17] <KBar> from a security stand-point, overwriting data with zeros or garbage is preferred
[16:17] <pycode> KBar, can i do that with gnome disk ?
[16:18] <KBar> what, overwrite with zeros/random noise?
[16:19] <pycode> KBar, i basically would like to put the disk in the same conditions when i bought it :)
[16:19] <pycode> is that possible or something close to it
[16:20] <orange1> gparted
[16:22] <imi> https://ibb.co/PrGXWDc -- is there a way to toggle that switch from commandline (settings->privacy->screen locking->lock screen automatically (on/off))?
[16:22] <pycode> orange1, ok but, can i then create a ext4 partition and...that's it ?
[16:22] <orange1> yes
[16:24] <KBar> imi, i dont use GNOME but it should be under gsettings's domain
[16:24] <pycode> ok
[16:24] <KBar> imi, `gsettings list-recursively | grep PATTERN`
[16:25] <KBar> Pattern being your guess as to what it might be called
[16:26] <KBar> try with lock first
[16:27] <KBar> imi: after that, run 'gsettings set path.to.gschema PROPERTY true|false` if the PROPERTY is indeed a bool
[16:38] <imi> KBar: that helped a lot, thanks, I diffed gsettings list-recursively now I know it's org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true
[16:39] <imi> is it sufficient to just toggle it using gsettings? will changing this property take effect immediately?
[16:41] <lotuspsychje> imi: yes, gsettings changes right away
[16:41] <imi> so it gets applied right away and I don't need to send a SIGHUP or anything?
[16:42] <imi> or service reload or whatever
[16:42] <lotuspsychje> well for the settings i tested on dconf-editor i never had to logout or reboot myself, not sure if all settings are
[16:44] <imi> ok thanks I'll try and see then
[16:49] <KBar> imi: no. nothing extra is needed. you just issue it and the gschema gets updated automatically
[16:54] <KBar> imi: and it also survives reboots. in other words, the changes are immediate, persistent and permanent until you change them back again
[16:58] <woenx> Hi. I'm using ubuntu 20.04, and now when I open gnome-terminal, instead of its logo, I see a blank logo in the panel. How could I fix that?
[16:59] <woenx> I think I caused that by creating a custom command that invoved gnome-terminal in a program and setting it by default for a file type
[17:00] <woenx> So, when I search gnome-terminal in the app drawer, it appears with its correct logo, but once I run it, the logo changes and shows that while gear wheel/generic icon
[17:00] <KBar> woenx, do you mean GNOME Terminal's logo?
[17:00] <KBar> A screenshot or two would help.
[17:00] <woenx> sure, wait a sec
[17:02] <woenx> https://i.imgur.com/lyxK3o5.png
[17:02] <woenx> So the first circled icon is gnome-terminal as it appears in the panel and in the app drawer
[17:02] <woenx> and the second icon is the icon I see once gnome-termina is running
[17:02] <woenx> they became dissociated
[17:03] <basedovertime> oh yeah, i see that, that's weird
[17:03] <KBar> woenx, care to share its desktop entry? Especially the Exec= field.
[17:03] <woenx> where can I find it?
[17:03] <KBar> woenx: should be in /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop
[17:04] <woenx> OK
[17:04] <KBar> did you edit that file?
[17:05] <woenx> Here
[17:05] <woenx> no, not manually at least
[17:05] <woenx> https://pastebin.com/q5Su4hFL
[17:05] <KBar> woenx: you said you created a custom command. How and where did you do that?
[17:06] <woenx> Ok, so in another program, Digikam, which is a photo organizer, there's an option to open a picture with another program (right click, open with...)
[17:06] <woenx> in that option, you can either select an existing program from the list, or you can type the command
[17:06] <KBar> Nah, that shouldn't be relevant.
[17:06] <woenx> so I wrote a command that started with gnome-terminal (and then called a simple sh script that I wrote)
[17:07] <woenx> and by accident, I set it by default to all jpg pictures
[17:07] <woenx> which was also set outside digikam
[17:07] <woenx> and that's when the problem appeared
[17:07] <KBar> woenx: okay, try undoing that. Go to Settings > Default Applications
[17:07] <woenx> (I restored the jpg association with the default picture viewer, but the "generic"icon in gnome-terminal stayed)
[17:08] <woenx> in Default applications, I see that for Photos, the Image Viewer is set as default
[17:08] <woenx> (I don
[17:09] <woenx> (I don't know if that's the exact name, my gnome is in another language)
[17:13] <KBar> woenx: hmm. that's strange
[17:14] <KBar> woenx: what's the output of `xdg-mime query default image/jpeg`
[17:14] <KBar> and `xdg-mime query default image/jpg`
[17:14] <woenx> org.gnome.eog.desktop
[17:14] <woenx> (for both)
[17:16] <KBar> woenx: can you `chmod -x` that script?
[17:16] <woenx> it already has execution permissions
[17:17] <KBar> undo it
[17:17] <woenx> ok
[17:18] <KBar> close active Digikam and Terminal windows and launch Terminal (from Activities)
[17:21] <woenx> what's "Activities"?
[17:22] <KBar> woenx: Super key.
[17:22] <woenx> Oh, yeah, it's the same, it opens with that white icon
[17:22] <woenx> and if I remove the shortcut from the panel, and add it again, it's the same
[17:22] <woenx> the shortcut has the correct icon, but once I click on it, it opens a separate "generic" icon
[17:24] <ioria> woenx, probably a local settings (i'd check ls ~/.local/share/applications/; a test would be with another user but first check   your .local directory for a .desktop file
[17:25] <woenx> aaahaaa, there's another gnome-terminal.desktop in there!
[17:25] <woenx> Yay, that was it
[17:25] <woenx> I renamed it, and now it recovered the right icon
[17:25] <ioria> woenx, good
[17:25] <woenx> somehow it created a .desktop called gnome-terminal that called that script
[17:25] <woenx> Thanks!!
[17:25] <ioria> yep
[17:25] <ioria> no prblem
[17:26] <KBar> ioria brilliantly done
[17:26] <ioria> KBar, tx
[18:26] <ttys000> hey guys, i was doing an upgrade but now it's stuck. any suggestions on what to do next? https://i.imgur.com/3dY2Iu5.png
[18:26] <ttys000> i have tried to press enter but nothing happens.
[18:26] <ttys000> i can connect again from a new ssh session but this one seems locked up
[18:27] <ttys000> in the new session i see in htop that the updater is still running (/usr/bin/python3 -s /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-xhh3hnt1/focal ..._
[18:27] <alefir> delete the lock file it mentions
[18:30] <ttys000> `/var/lib/dpkg/lock` ?
[18:31] <ttys000> and then?
[18:33] <ioria> ttys000, ps aux | grep -i apt
[18:34] <ttys000> http://ix.io/3HnR
[18:36] <ioria> still running
[18:37] <ioria> ttys000, you might sudo kill -9 that process, run sudo dpkg --configure -a and full-upgrade the system ( if you're lucky)
[18:38] <ioria> ttys000,  sudo kill -9 952
[18:38] <ttys000> http://ix.io/3HnU
[18:38] <ttys000> sorry wrong paste
[18:38] <ttys000> http://ix.io/3HnU
[18:39] <ttys000> whoa, weird, it gave me the same ID, but this time the past is totally different
[18:39] <ttys000> man that paste site glitched i think
[18:40] <ioria> ttys000,  is this an '18.04 to 20.04' upgarde ?
[18:40] <ttys000> so do i need to fix these dpkg errors? or just sudo do-release-upgrade again?
[18:40] <ioria> *upgrade
[18:40] <ttys000> yes, 18.04 -> 20.04
[18:41] <ioria> ttys000,  sudo apt update
[18:41] <ttys000> http://ix.io/3HnV
[18:42] <ioria> ttys000,  sudo apt full-upgrade
[18:43] <ttys000> it's mad: http://ix.io/3HnW
[18:43] <ioria> ttys000,  sudo apt --fix-broken install
[18:44] <ttys000> k thanks. running that now...
[18:45] <ttys000> ok finished. now running full upgrade.
[18:48] <ttys000> ok thanks.
[18:48] <ttys000> seems to be sailing smoothly so far
[18:48] <ioria> ok
[18:48] <ttys000> cheers internet stranger, thanks for unf*cking my problem.
[18:53] <ttys000> is there anything that needs to be done after `sudo apt full-upgrade`
[18:53] <ttys000> and what is the difference between doing it that way and `sudo do-release-upgrade`
[18:58] <ioria> a bit long to explain: do-release-upgrade has failed, but sources.list had been already  changed; so you pretend to be on a 20.04 system and perform a simble upgrade
[18:58] <ioria> *simple
[19:02] <ttys000> ok makes sense. thanks.
[19:03] <ioria> ok
[19:33] <vershan> hi im running ubuntu 20.04. I changed my wireless card from atheros to intel only getting 1MB speed

[20:27] <merpnderp> If I need a script to append a bunch of configs to sshd_config, would I just `echo myconfig >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config` is that the best way?
[20:27] <merpnderp> myconfig being a string.
[20:27] <merpnderp> Writing a giant script to get ubuntu to pass our security audit.
[20:28] <merpnderp> Does such a script already exist somewhere? this is a standard audit.
[20:28] <merpnderp> SecScan
[20:30] <sarnold> merpnderp: normally people will use things like ansible or chef or puppet to manage all the machines in their fleet, or use something like http://augeas.net/ (packaged in debian and ubuntu) to modify config files programmatically
[20:30] <sarnold> merpnderp: just appending stuff to config files is a quick way to break things, or make them work in unexpected ways
[21:14] <g3poandlsl> I have several laptops (all different models) with Ubuntu 18.04 that experience periodic connectivity (eth0) timeouts. I can't identify the pattern, but it occurs seemingly randomly after an hour, 35 min, or 10 minutes. Always on the same second according to logs.
[21:18] <sarnold> well that's wild
[21:19] <sarnold> I suggest using ethtool to disable powersaving features on your nics on the laptops, and using your switch's management interface to disable "port power saving" things there, too. adaptive power for wire length is probably fine, but some have "unused port power saving" things that I've heard cause problems
[21:24] <g3poandlsl> sarnold: thanks for the tip about ethtool and powersaving settings.  I should mention that these laptops previously did not experience this issue, but did after being wiped and Ubuntu 18.04 (later point release) reinstalled
[21:24] <Belgrad> Hi, what is the best alternative for Lubuntu (I have issues with screen resolution, resume on both suspend and hibernate, not being able to save nomodeset option properly, hibernate just shutting off the PC instead of hibernating it)?
[21:25] <Belgrad> Focal 20.04, but I ve upgraded it, so now the resolution screen appeared. I don t know what to do, this seems to be a hard problem.
[21:25] <Belgrad> Best regards and thanks in advance.
[21:27] <sarnold> g3poandlsl: oh interesting. I wonder if the newer HWE kernels busted something. You could try installing the original release kernel; we don't have any simple docs on that, I don't think, but a lot of the package names involved are on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[21:29] <g3poandlsl> sarnold: thanks, I was considering the later kernel might have been an issue. Is the OEM kernel any more "stable"?
[21:30] <sarnold> g3poandlsl: it might be better if it has drivers specifically for your system, yeah; I don't know any easy way to find out what extra it supports, though
[21:30] <Belgrad> Ah, I ll just delete Lubuntu, maybe Xubuntu will be better?
[21:30] <g3poandlsl> sarnold: thanks for your help with this
[21:31] <sarnold> Belgrad: probably not, they use the same kernel, X11, etc
[21:32] <Belgrad> Ah...Than which distro should I install? I am accustomed to Lubuntu, so I am looking Ubuntu distro minimal?
[21:32] <Belgrad> I am literally writting from the weird screen resolution.
[21:33] <Belgrad> Whatever command I give in Terminal, I get some dpkg blah blah, I have to manually do it, and I do not know what does that mean. I think I should try with the latest lubuntu image, maybe it will give a work?
[21:35] <sarnold> Belgrad: it's hard to give concrete advice without knowing what issues you're facing. maybe it's just a matter of troubleshooting each problem, one at a time, until you've got a working system again. maybe it's a matter of filing a bunch of bug reports with what you've got, and then going back to an older system that worked fine. maybe it's a matter of installing something newer and hoping it's all fixed.
[21:35] <sarnold> maybe it's switching to a different distribution entirely that's either not yet got these problems, or already solved these problems, depending..
[22:09] <devslash> when you do export DISPLAY=:0 what is :0 called ? is it a port that you are setting the value to What I asking is how you refer to the display you are binding to
[22:10] <klausfiend> in X11 lingo, :0 refers to the root display
[22:11] <klausfiend> e.g., your local desktop
[22:11] <klausfiend> it's basically [hostname]:<display>[.screen]
[22:11] <klausfiend> localhost:0 and :0 essentially refer to the same display
[22:38] <NeilRG> how do I use the bleeding edge gvim on ubuntu?
[22:44] <klausfiend> assuming someone has a PPA, i would add that, and install the gvim candidates from that repo instead of stable or testing
[23:07] <devios> I just installed LTS on an old laptop, and updated/upgraded to latest packages.  then I installed plexserver, then i installed xrdp, found xrdp didn't do what I expected/wanted after connecting from another system, and then removed xrdp.  sometime during that process, the terminal application (in gnome) stopped opening - like it would try to start up then stop.  when I rebooted, I ended up at a black screen with a small cursor in top left
[23:07] <devios> (gnome(?) not starting, not getting to logon page).  if i do control+alt+2, I can get to and log into a terminal outside of gnome and log in.  any ideas what happened and how to fix whatever I broke?
[23:07] <devios> wondering if installing xrdp hijacked/broke some part of the gui startup?
[23:13] <devios> control+alt+*f2
