=== kev is now known as Guest1970 [01:16] Hello, is there a channel for people hoping to learn to contribute code? [01:17] I have programming experience, I'm more so looking for a mentor [01:18] Guest1970, I dm'ed you === kev is now known as Guest1486 [01:29] I'm running ubuntu in a hyper-v instance as a web server and it's seeing 30% processor usage at practically no load any ideas on decreasing processor usage [01:32] lantech19446: try running perf top to see what it's doing [01:36] sarnold: having an issue with it it tells me to install perf from certain packages but then can't find those packages but thanks for the advice i'll get it sorted and do that asap [01:37] lantech19446: maybe an apt update && apt upgrade and reboot, to get new kernel? === tony is now known as Guest2071 [01:43] sarnold: it's on 5.13 and the linux-tools were supposed to be for 5.13 but i'm running ansible right now to do all the upgrades [01:46] lantech19446: the perf tools are supplied by packages related to the exact kernel package you're running, eg linux-tools-5.4.0-91-generic or whatever [01:47] lantech19446: my guess is your system booted a while ago, there's been kernel updates published, the packages for the kernel you're currently running have been removed from the mirrors because they've been replaced, and now the old ones aren't available any more.. [01:47] right I'm running 5.13 and the linux tools were 5.13.0-053100 or something generic but it was definitely for the right kernel [01:47] that's a funny version number [01:48] I don't remember precisely what the last 4 or 5 were but it was something like that [01:48] it's about three digits more than I expected :) see eg https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/5.13.0-22.22 -- all those are 5.13.0-22 kinds of things [01:50] sarnold: after running all the upgrades it said to just get linux-tools-generic which are actually on version like 5.4 but it's installing now [01:51] hello? [01:51] lantech19446: hrm... yeah, linux-tools-generic *should* do it, but if your kernel comes from a different package entirely, it might not be properly matched up [01:51] and now we're back to the other error. I don't have time to reboot it right now I leave in 4 minutes this will become a job for tomorrow [01:52] gn8 :) [01:52] I did find out that I wrote my updates playbook correctly though [01:52] \o/ [01:52] night sarnold thanks as always for all the help === gschanuel218 is now known as gschanuel21 === genii is now known as genii-core === M4he is now known as mahe === Disconsented is now known as DrDoofenshmirtz [03:01] I'm using Ubuntu 20.04. All of the sudden when I go to a specific website, the browser just says "unable to connect" as if I gave a bad url. `dig sitedomain.com +short` shows 0.0.0.0, and I can access the website just fine on another device in my network. Why is the url resolving to 0.0.0.0? There is no entry for this domain in my hosts file. [03:01] `dig sitedomain.com @8.8.8.8 +short` shows two (correct) IPs. [03:04] The output of `sudo ss -lnp '( sport = :53 )'` ( https://termbin.com/oaph ) shows systemd-resolve, and if I look up the PID, it's "systemd+" [03:05] dqtjy: I suggest putting the domain name in https://dnsviz.net/ -- it does a great job of explaining a lot of common dns issues [03:29] alright this has been driving me crazy for hours, how do I decompress a PLAIN .tar (no gzip or anything) using several cores? [03:29] my problem is I have around 20 gigs of data composed of lots of tiny files that come packaged in .tar, when I try to extract them on a kaggle instance they take too long and the instance expires and fails. [03:29] I can extract them and recompress them using another method on a live instance, but the "saved" instances expire too fast on regular .tar. So if there's some alternative format I can use for faster decompression that'd be good too. [03:29] I can't put the data on Mega and use the megacmd tool too cause of the 5GB bandwidth limit [03:39] webchat31: do you have the memory to decompress them to a shmfs mount rather than disk? if not, maybe try to add an eatmydata to it, to try to disable the sync syscalls from tar? [03:39] webchat31: is this one single tarball with a million little files in it? or is it a million little tarballs with a handful of files in each? [04:01] sarnold: It's one single tarball with lots of folders with lots of files in them. I wish to preserve the directory structure too. [04:02] And no I don't think I have enough RAM for that [04:02] webchat31: dang. then try the eatmydata approach [04:03] Will do right now. [04:03] The stupid thing is tar is only using 1 core anyways [04:03] I'm not sure if something like 7zip will decompress faster because of multicore [04:04] I'd honestly expect a plain tar to go at disk speeds [04:05] even with just one core, that's all it has to do: read header off file; read that amount of data and write to disk. read header, read file, write file. read header, read file, write file. etc etc [04:12] I see [04:12] This might confirm my other suspicion that the process is actually limited by the upload speed of the saved instance, since I think the "output" folder actually uploads to some Google Cloud thing, which would explain the error message [04:14] I am still struggling to figure out why one particular domain fails DNS [04:14] lookup on my machine. I don't know if it's because of a recent update or [04:14] what. `systemd-resolve --status` contains this line `DNS Domain: ~. ` and IDK if that's right [04:14] sarnold: Any idea how to upload the files quicker (without having the throughput die due to there behind millions of files) while also not having to spend 10+ minutes on a GPU instance decompressing them every time I need to use the data? [04:14] I think I might just try to split the dataset up into several extracted portions [04:14] It'll be a pain but that's probably my only choice at this point [04:15] webchat31: ooof, if you're unpacking to a directory that's actually just writing to a far away network filesystem, or fuse mount, or something, yeah, that could be pretty painful [04:15] Yup [04:16] webchat31: does the google cloud thing have a tar ingest mode or something? *maybe* there's an API tool you can use to feed it a gigantic blob of data in one go, to avoid doing millions of little things [04:17] webchat31: at least I think I've seen various s3 APIs accept zip files. I think. That was ages ago, and amazon, but encouraging.. :) [04:17] Actually I think if I find a file upload service with a size limit big enough I can use their dataset importing thing from a remote URL... Previously the dataset was only on GDrive and Mega which was incompatible with that service [04:18] I'll try zipping it and uploading it somewhere [04:18] maybe stuff it right into an s3 bucket? [04:19] time for me to run, have a good night, day, etc :) [04:19] Thanks for all the help, you too! [04:19] These guys claim a 50gb upload limit https://jirafeau.kennesaw.edu/ [04:19] Time to put that to the test O:3 [04:19] hah, my guess.. not gonna go well :) [04:20] have fun :) [04:20] tyvm! you too === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy [05:02] Good night! I am trying to compile the latest linux kernel in Ubuntu 21.10 and I an get an error message when I try the command "make menu config".The output is: [05:02] HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/mconf [05:02] !mainline [05:02] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [05:20] I removed the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf (it was replaced by Network Manager), disabled and stopped systemd-resolved, and added `dns=default`to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and then rebooted, and I one website still resolves to 0.0.0.0. I have no idea why [05:40] personally (and i'm not recommending this necessarily) but i loathe all of those "smart" automatic DNS configurators; we just stood up anycast and use a resolv.conf that's controlled by config management [05:48] I don't know enough about it to have an opinion, but the feedback/general sentiment for systemd-resolved has been overwhelmingly negative. In any case, I've disabled it and I'm still experiencing a dns failure for one specific domain. [05:49] IRC has always been my last resort so I'm at a loss [05:52] the fight to manage DNS resolver behavior on Linux is an especially crowded field. you have the traditional way — add static entries to /etc/resolv.conf and call it a day — but you also have resolvconf, NetworkManager, systemd, and DHCP clients all competing to deliver an incredibly basic configurable. if you're not worried about internal domains, i would just point things at 1.1.1.1 or 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 or another similar public [05:52] S service and call it a day. [05:55] once I disabled resolved and removed the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf, it looks like Network Manager placed one there automatically. It contains `search home` as the first line. Should I remove that? [05:56] welp, tried that and restarted network manager, nothing [05:57] nvm restarting network manager overwrote that change 🤦 [06:04] yeah, welcome to wrestling all the stupid crap that modifies your resolver config [06:06] but I don't get it, there's nothing in the resolver conf, just "search home \n nameserver $ROUTERIP " [06:06] the only thing that has been succesful is using dig w/ a public nameserver to get an IP addr, and putting that into /etc/hosts manually [06:06] but that's so dumb [06:22] **Q** @ ubuntu-bug: Is there an automated way to change the username for the files being uploaded? [06:28] uploaded via what ? apport-bug? ubuntu-bug? [06:28] ignore me... [06:29] @DarkTrick... probably not a quick way.. You could grep/sed... and submit manually I guess [06:30] chiluk, ubuntu-bug [06:30] chiluk, thank you! [06:30] I'm surprised your username is being captured at all [06:30] it's inside the logs [06:31] yeah... that was the only way it would be getting captured. [06:31] (I'd say this is actually a privacy problem...) [06:31] maybe... but if you are logged in to launchpad to submit the bug.... people already know it was you who submitted it. [06:32] chiluk, sure, but only if you launchpad name is your full name [06:32] chances of having a full-name user name on your PC is higher, I gues [06:32] s [06:33] true. [06:51] dqtjy: if it's just one domain that's wrong, then it's possible that the problem is in the dns server you're using, not in your resolver. Did you try dig with the nameserver you're using? [06:53] the name server specified on my machine is the router's IP. [06:53] omg wow [06:54] OK, so on the command line I was using 1.1.1.1, which works successfully, but I just realized the router DNS is set to 1.1.1.3/1.0.0.3, which filters for malware/pr0n etc [06:54] but I just retried using 1.1.1.3 on the command line... and no, it doesn't work. [06:54] This... makes no sense [06:54] Then why does it work for other devices? [06:55] The DNS server on both my phone and router is set to 1.1.1.3/1.0.0.3, yet my phone browses that domain just fine. [06:56] It may have a fallback mechanism to search e.g. google's dns when the primary one fails, dunno [06:56] You'd need to do some packet capturing to be sure [06:56] this is driving me nuts [07:00] I think you might be right alkisg [07:01] I've been testing with some other domains and I think that's happening. Somehow my phone is just using another name server if 1.1.1.3 doesn't work [07:02] I'm so confused, ugh, then why even have the ability to set a ns if it won't even stick to it [07:02] That's an android issue though, not an ubuntu issue ;) [07:03] * dqtjy has joined #android [07:03] lol [07:11] is there a way to get the current theme name in vanilla 20.04 from the terminal?

Grub files seems to be not populated. Is that normal? [13:26] Thomas25: basically just shimx64.efi and grub.cfg [13:26] when i look from other OSes, that's what i see [13:27] i.e. i wanted to edit grub config from another os [13:28] Thomas25: if you mean the menu, it's actually in /boot/grub/grub.cfg , that grub.cfg in the efi partiiton is just to point to the rootfs and set $prefix to find the menu [13:28] so the extremely minimal grub mounts the actual root and reads the config from there [13:28] Thomas25: you're not supposed to edit it by hand though as changes will go, you want to edit /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/40_custom and run update-grub [13:29] yeah [13:29] it sets prefix and finds the modules and whatnot, otherwise you land in grub rescue> [13:29] i had win11 + mac installed on this, booting via clover bootloader. [13:30] after installing ubuntu that's gone. the system won't even boot unless i specificall select ubuntu efi from BIOS boot selector [13:30] then in the grub edit, i can point to the efi of either win11 directly and it boots [13:30] probably it used some efi file, is there nothing in the efi partition anymore? [13:30] or load clover, a second bootloader, and then i can boot mac [13:31] EriC^^ no they are all there [13:31] oh ok [13:31] so you want clover as the default efi loaded [13:31] everything is there, it's just bios can't pick one and it can't boot [13:31] EriC^^ actually yeah [13:31] Thomas25: sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:31] it should still be in the list, all you have to do is change the bootorder [13:32] https://termbin.com/fzxy [13:33] seems gone [13:33] no it's there [13:33] try "sudo ls -lR /boot/efi | nc termbin.com 9999" [13:33] i've booted it :) [13:33] i mean in the list [13:34] https://termbin.com/fpb3 [13:35] so now, by default bios tries to load /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi [13:35] ok, last command "df -h /boot/efi" [13:35] it was working fine from what i've understand and it was loading clover before [13:35] but now it's confused [13:35] just get the device name e.g /dev/sda1 or whatever [13:35] Thomas25: no worries [13:35] nvme1n1p1 [13:36] this is the ssd where my actual EFI lives. (ubuntu is in nvme0) [13:36] sudo efibootmgr -c -w -l \\EFI\\CLOVER\\CLOVERX64.efi -L "Clover" -p 1 -d /dev/nvme1n1 [13:37] that should add it to the uefi list [13:37] try "sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999" to confirm [13:38] albeit typo https://termbin.com/26mo [13:39] that typo wont fly :D [13:39] yeah i just noticed the critical typo [13:39] :) [13:39] sudo efibootmgr -B -b 0000 to delete [13:39] cannot efit/ [13:39] edit? [13:39] nope [13:40] holy sh1t, that's insane, why? :) [13:40] probably the way uefi firmware thingie is [13:40] is rsize=32768,wsize=32768 too low ? [13:41] would be nice to edit though [13:41] hmm now it looks missing in the efibootmgr -v [13:41] i wanted to verify the number [13:41] great, rerun the -c command to add it back [13:42] looks good i think https://termbin.com/y0sx [13:43] yup looks good [13:43] shit didn't boot again [13:43] let's see if the entry is still there [13:44] when i just let it try to boot, it resets. [13:44] i have to get into the boot mgr of bios to boot ubuntu [13:44] clover is gone from the list again [13:44] do we have to commit the changes somehow? [13:44] aha [13:45] i think you've switched the microsoft efi files so that it boots ubuntu instead? [13:45] i was switching MS boot files because otherwise clovre wouldn't boot [13:45] that was a trick i was doing before installing ubuntu [13:46] i see [13:46] ok, seems the file is gone now [13:46] maybe while we are at it we can just try to run win11 via KVM? (looking forward to trying that) hehe [13:46] what file? [13:46] try 'sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/clover/cloverx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi' [13:46] bootmgfw.efi , it's gon [13:46] *gone [13:46] i `mv` it to bootmg something .original [13:46] i can boot it manually via grub, i tried it [13:47] yeah [13:47] but note that efibootmgr does not list clover again! [13:47] is this an hp laptop? [13:47] is that normal? [13:47] nope, it's a desktop [13:47] ok [13:47] but i must note that i cannot enter the BIOS screen right now, don't know why. it seems frozen just a black screen [13:47] why not replace bootmgfw.efi with the clover one so it boots [13:47] luckily i can get into boot manager via F8 [13:48] we could but isn't it kinda weird? i don't know how EFI firmware runs these [13:48] but moving it to another folder and all of its config in another folder [13:48] you were doing it before though no? [13:48] nope [13:48] i was just making windows not bootable [13:48] so bios would load clover [13:49] and from there i can chose win or mac [13:49] oh [13:49] and how does grub find windows [13:49] you added a custom entry? [13:49] nope [13:49] it found and added it when installing i think [13:49] not sure [13:49] cause its used to looking for bootmgfw.efi [13:49] yeah probably [13:50] what i'd do is replace stuff as they were [13:50] so what do you think about clover efi entry is going missing? [13:50] as they were? i.e. remove grub from efi? [13:50] on my laptop, it also wont boot ubuntu, before i used to switch the files bootmgfw.efi and change grub to look for a different filename [13:50] but later i found if you disable the entry via bootmgfw.efi it'll boot ubuntu no problem [13:51] via efibootmgr you mean? [13:51] yes, sorry [13:51] this is what mine looks like, https://termbin.com/dcsf [13:51] if there's no * next to Bootxxxx it means its disabled [13:51] works like a charm on this laptop, might work for you too [13:51] ok [13:52] if i ever need to remove ubuntu, just re-enable the entry, and everything else is stock [13:52] yeah i could use that for removing windows update problem [13:52] but i don't know why it didn't boot when we made that change [13:52] because it looked lefit [13:52] legit* === thegodsquirrel is now known as theSantasquirrel [13:52] yeah kinda odd it removed the entry, maybe you have to 'trust' the file manually from the bios or something? [13:53] so efibootmgr communicates with BIOS to tell commands to EFI for boot entries? it is not on hard drives whatsoever right? [13:53] why doesn't p7zip-full include p7zip-rar ? [13:53] acer's have that, have to set a bios pass, then you can trust efi files [13:53] Thomas25: exactly, the uefi list is saved on the nvram in the motherboard [13:53] i doubt because this was an efi that i was using as my primary boot from that very same location [13:54] feels like there's something wrong with my bios then [13:54] entries going missing [13:54] + i cannot enter bios screen [13:54] yeah i dont get why it removed it, and ubuntu is there [13:54] i'd switch the windows file with clover one then [13:55] and you can edit grub to look for the new windows file that you name, it wont matter for anything else itll work as usual [13:56] Thomas25: 'sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/clover/cloverx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/microsoft/boot/bootmgfw.efi' [13:56] i believe that'd work [13:56] yeah [13:56] but not pretty! [13:56] gotta do what you gotta do :D [13:57] haha [13:58] it did work [13:58] i'm surprised clover didn't find ubuntu automatically though [13:58] not a big problem with the primer you've given i think i'll figure the exact setup that i want [13:58] for grub, either add a custom entry to /etc/grub.d for bootmgfw-orig.efi or if you want you could edit '/usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft' and replace bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi in the middle [14:00] alright, sounds good! [14:00] god dammit, when i wanted to upgrade bios firmware, win11 bsodded me [14:00] yikes === Rumuz is now known as istanbul [14:31] how do you enable pam_limits on 20.04? this thing, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/pam_limits.8.html [14:33] libpam-modules is installed, but it doesn't seem to do anything, the directive "@hans hard nice -20" appears to be ignored in /etc/security/limits.conf [14:36] and `cat /proc/modules | grep -i limit` doesn't list pam_limits.. just a bunch of netfilter limits [14:37] Hi! Question about the netboot-kernel of the focal legacy-installer.. The kernel was last updated 01.02.21; will that ever be updated again? I would really like a kernel that includes this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1893956 [14:37] Launchpad bug 1893956 in linux (Ubuntu Focal) "Intel x710 LOMs do not work on Focal" [Medium, Fix Released] [14:41] LarsErikP: hmm that's a though one, i remember having a similar issue with Debian netinst, and someone on ##debian-next showed me an easy-ish way to build the netinst from source with newest kernel, unfortunately i don't remember how it was done, but it actually wasn't difficult with the guidance of someone who knew how to do it.. [14:43] LarsErikP: anyway, last time i faced an issue like that, i ended up building the netinst from source (but it was debian, not ubuntu) [14:43] hans: would have been really helpful :P [14:44] LarsErikP: have you tried booting the ubuntu installer from netboot.xyz ? it might boot a newer kernel than the legacy isos, https://netboot.xyz/ [14:45] oh [14:45] (it doesn't use the isos at all) [14:45] worth a try! [14:45] and it ask you if you want the legacy installer or the .. modern one, at least for 20.04 [14:46] hans: do they publish they actual kernel files? [14:46] netboot.xyz ? well it list the url to the kernel it loads, right before loading it [14:51] LarsErikP: btw netboot.xyz currently has a bug with DHCP, if your network doesn't auto-configure DHCP, you'll have to use a bunch of kernel parameters to boot the ubuntu installer (but almost all wifi's have DHCP enabled :P ) [14:52] hmm.. i kind of just wanted to grap the kernel and initrd.gz for focal.. [14:52] not actually pxe-booting directly from them :P === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK [14:54] maybe http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/hd-media/ [14:54] too old :( [14:54] doh kk [14:57] LarsErikP: if you wanna try the build-it-yourself-route, this might be helpful, https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Build [15:00] thanks! [15:17] I have setup Maas and I am wanting to write a commissioning script that will add a list of additional applications I need installed. Does anyone have an example script that does something similar? [15:17] stealthrecon: try #maas === ColinJCrawford is now known as C4Crawford [15:18] Thanks. [15:42] running lubuntu 18.04, after changing the default text application using Preferences/Default Applications of LXSession i'm getting "KDEInit could not launch 'konsole'" (even after rebooting) [15:47] anyone have any suggestions? [15:48] i also see a message box that popped up titled "Update lxsession database" which states "The database is updating, please wait" but it never completes. [15:56] yates: Maybe try changing the hostname? [15:57] krisstern: huh? [15:57] Like this: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=132466 [15:58] For the "KDEInit could not launch" error... [15:58] ok, thanks - i'll try [15:59] Cool :-) [16:13] Why so much hate for Ubuntu? [16:23] I feel like every distro gets a bit of hate from fanboys of other distros, hehe. [16:23] I use Ubuntu, Debian, and Manjaro for different things, depending on my needs *shrugs* [16:23] They all have a purpose in my view. [16:23] offtopic chatter imho [16:24] oh he left anyway [16:24] yep [16:24] I have joins/parts/quits filtered, hehe - oh well. [16:25] I dont need to restart after enabling a ua subscription, do I ?

[16:58] epe : Depends: libqt4-gui but it is not installable [16:59] Depends: libqt4-network but it is not installable [16:59] Depends: libqt4-core but it is not installable [16:59] Depends: libqt4-xml but it is not installable [16:59] try "sudo apt install libqt4*" [16:59] and then try installing the package again [17:00] nope complained about dependancies [17:00] the question is, is libqt4 still supported.... [17:01] You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. [17:01] tried that too didnt work [17:01] you could try to unzip the .deb file and unzip data i think and run the binary file directly [17:02] It's probably built for a different release of Ubuntu -- libqt4 doesn't seem to be in anything since bionic [17:02] that^ [17:03] even a apt search on 21.10 doesn't show it [17:03] MarcUK: ^^^ [17:04] yep but its needed for upgrading the firmware on this rc controller [17:04] too bad then i guess since libqt4 isn't supported anymore [17:06] terrible that you have to go find a windows machine just to upgrade stuff lolz [17:06] i unpacked it it didnt run [17:07] Package: eepe [17:07] Priority: extra [17:07] Section: checkinstall [17:07] Installed-Size: 1384 [17:07] Maintainer: erazz [17:07] Architecture: amd64 [17:07] Version: 362-1 [17:07] maybe i can donload windows version and run it on wine [17:07] hello guys! sorry for the stupid answer. on the following command, which is the package that install the IDE? `apt install openssl sqlite3 libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 lame libtag1v5 libtagc0 libmp3lame0 libmp3lame-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libsndfile1 libsndfile1-dev libavcodec-extra libavformat58 libcurl4-openssl-dev libmpg123-0 libresample1 libncurses5 libphysfs1 libpcre3 libprotobuf23 libmysqlclient21 libfaac0 libopus0 libloudmouth1-0 [17:07] libdbus-glib-1-2 libmuparser2v5 libsoxr0 build-essential` [17:08] MarcUK: i have a Windows XP VM for use with old shitty Dell DRAC/iDRAC systems that only run shitty java web applets/flash clients [17:08] MarcUK: and yeah it is shitty [17:09] Depends: libqt4-gui ,libqt4-network ,libqt4-core ,libqt4-xml ,avrdude [17:09] apparently these are the dependencies you need for the package [17:09] if you can find maybe .deb packages for those or their source code? [17:10] avrdude is installed becasue i just used it to upgrade firmware on two programmers [17:10] ah [17:10] https://askubuntu.com/questions/766615/how-to-install-libqt4-core-and-libqt4-gui-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts [17:10] here might be something usefull [17:11] MarcUK: your best bet is probably to run it on a Ubuntu 18.04 VM (maybe try virtualbox?) [17:11] oh.. 14.04 then.. dang [17:12] ok i will look into it all im trying to do is upgrade the firmware on this flight controller to the last firmware that was made for it as its now discontinued [17:13] is the 14.04 repositories still up?

[18:55] sup [18:55] morantron: "lsblk" should show you your drive and partitions [18:56] welcome rollappuser [19:08] morantron: did you find out, yet? "no /dev/nvmen1pX devices" suggests that there are no partitions on this nvme storage. [19:08] morantron: is this on an already installed ubuntu system? which ubuntu release, which kernel? [19:09] are you booting in legacy bios or uefi mode, is it an MBR or GPT partition table on the nvme? [19:39] hi! where do I post feature requests for fbpanel? I can't find a bug tracker in the man page [19:40] apt should know the developers' website. [19:40] that's if it is an ubuntu package [19:41] You can also do ubuntu-bug fbpanel but label the bug Wishlist or Feature Request [19:42] apt-cache show fbpanel | grep ^Homepage: [19:46] thanks!

Im having some trouble packaging a snap im trying to make https://github.com/FRC-1721/signstatus/tree/frame-snap [19:49] it does build but it keeps saying its using python2, witch i think is causing my issue where it cant run the app?

I can take snapshots and revert between them, but when I try to follow a blockcommit command that *should* allow me to squash snapshots it gives me an error saying the snapshots are not in the chain.
