dob1in pratice you are watching a youtube video and the screen goes black00:00
ramblebambledob1, I am not sure, but I would assume that that is a feature of the WM/DM and not the application itself?00:00
ramblebambleLike application foobar is allowed to prevent screen from locking or some such configuratoin00:01
ramblebamblenew way firefox is installed --> new application for the WM/DM??00:01
dob1ramblebamble, imho it's firefox that has to disable dpms00:02
ramblebambleyes, I am not arguing that, I am just saying that the DM/WM might have to be told that there is a 'new'(read application at a different location) that wants to disable it, so please listen to it, it has my blessing00:04
dob1ramblebamble, not sure how to do this00:06
ramblebamblewhat WM/DM are you using?00:06
dob1i300:07
ramblebambleuff... never used  but let me check my googlefu00:07
dob1there is something here, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1398539  but it's like 4 years ago00:07
ubottuMozilla bug 1398539 in Core "WakeLockListener should disable DPMS if enabled on Linux" [Normal, Resolved: Fixed]00:07
dob1the fact that I am not sure if the behaviour was the same with the deb version or not00:10
ramblebamblecan't you role back and check?00:10
dob1not now, I am going to do it if I don't find any solution00:11
ramblebamblebut it appears that you are right, it might be a FF issue https://github.com/dglava/firefox-dpms00:11
dob1I read this too searching around00:11
ramblebamblequestion what else did change when you updated FF?00:12
ramblebambleare you using X still?00:12
dob1yes, xorg00:12
ramblebamblek00:12
dob1ramblebamble, it was automatic, I didn't mean to change it. I update it yesterday to 21.10 and it was done by the system upgrade00:13
ramblebamblek00:13
ramblebamblethen, can you still disable it using xset +dpms and xset -dpms?00:13
ramblebamblebecause if you cannot do that something else changed in your system00:14
dob1ramblebamble, well yes but ... no :)00:14
ramblebamble??00:14
ramblebambleI don't suggest you do that all the time, I am just asking for information so that we may get to the bottom of this00:14
dob1it becomes a bad user experience if I have every time I am going to watch a video to disable dpms00:14
ramblebambleso if you can do this, it is either i3 or most likely FF, if you cannot do that than FF cannot do it either, and we have to look elsewhere00:15
ramblebambles/then/than00:15
dob1to be honest I don't know how an application, firefox, vlc whatever, communicate to suspend dpms while watching a video00:16
dob1I will try the debian one for sure00:16
ramblebamblecli command the one's I wrote you the python application firefox-dpms I liked to and you read, works like that00:16
dob1I have to test it00:17
ramblebamblebtw what does `xset q` give you in the terminal?00:19
dob1ramblebamble, https://paste.debian.net/hidden/53dd2269/00:20
ramblebamblek00:20
ramblebambleand now after `xset -dpms` DPMS should display as off, if that is not the case the fault is most likely not with FF00:21
ramblebambleyou can turn it back on with `xset +dpms`00:22
dob1now I am watching a video I suppose it has to be to ff00:22
dob1*off00:22
ramblebambleI would assume so, BUT, I have dpms off, never heard of it before today and my screen gets locked anyways, because of KDE00:23
dob1you are using kde screensaver I presume00:23
dob1it is doing it for you00:23
ramblebamblenot the screensaver the entire WM00:23
ramblebamblesorry DM00:23
dob1the applications should tell the wm/dm to disable the energy saver/screensaver while watching a video00:24
dob1because the point is "watching a video", the screensaver/dpms should be active if you are just viewing a page00:25

ramblebambledob1 sorry I couldn't help00:33
ShookDog1st time caller 1st time listener... Dual boot system setup with Windows 10 (Ubuntu 20.04). Both updated to current. Everytime I login to Windows 10 and when done, when I return to Ubuntu, I get the BusyBox v1.30.1 initramfs issue where I have to fsck /dev/sda1... It fixes the problem. I rarely ever use Windows but when I do, the error comes back again and have to fsck the partition and then all is well in the world.01:02
ShookDogAs mentioned rarely use Windows and shutting down computer, logging back into Ubuntu, no problems. It's only when I log into Windows 10 and then logging into Ubuntu I have to fsck the partition. Any help would be great.01:02
sarnoldhey ShookDog, welcome :) hang around a bit, hopefully someone will have a suggestion01:03
sarnoldI haven't done dual boot in ages, and I don't recall seeing this come up often01:03
ShookDogThanks, will do.01:04
jhutchinsShookDog: Do you access or mount the Linux filesystem(s) in Windows?01:05
ShookDogI do not.01:05
ShookDogBoth are in there own partition01:05
orange1i wonder if turning off fast boot on windows would help01:06
orange1but not sure01:06
jhutchinsorange1: Good idea whether it's related or not.01:06
jhutchinsBoth fastboot and secureboot.01:06
ShookDogIt's off. Thinkpad T14 AMD 4750 32GB01:06
jhutchinsShookDog: Do you tend to shut down completely before booting to the other OS?01:07
Aarch64debianhello is ubuntu server + xfce working well on raspi 4?01:07
ShookDogI do, as a matter of fact.01:08
ShookDogahhh! one is in BIOS & other I havent seen that setting but will check and give heads up.01:24
sarnoldAarch64debian: I think it ought to work, it's mentioned with happy sounds on both focal and impish release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes#Raspberry_Pi https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/impish-indri-release-notes/21951  (I can't figure out how to anchor the link to the "Raspberry Pi" section)01:27
=== genii is now known as genii-core
ShookDog2st time caller... Yep, Secure Boot off in Bios and Fast Boot, I don't believe Lenovo thought it important for thier T14 laptops cuz that setting (Fast boot) not showing up where it's supposed to be. And to get back here, I had to fsck the /dev/sda1 partition.01:40
cooni have a printer problem when someone gets time... thank you01:42
sarnoldShookDog: I think fastboot is a windows setting, not a bios setting01:44
sarnoldcoon: probably best to just say any error messages or log entries you've got..01:44
coonmy printer says ready to use but when i send something to the printer spool nothing happens01:45
ShookDogIts supposed to be in the Power setting... where you allow whats normally not available. Fastboot is not one of the options. Just Hibernate and Sleep. No Fastboot.01:45
ShookDogwithin windows that is.01:47
sarnolddang :(01:48
sarnoldcoon: I use my printer once or twice a year, and I *always* have to reboot my printer to make it work01:48
sarnoldcoon: it's annoying but it was free :) so I've never put much effort into it01:48
cooni have and still nothing01:48
sarnold;(01:49
rfmShookDog, I found https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001762.htm which shows how to disable it from the command prompt01:49
coonthis is a new install of ubuntu also01:49
ShookDogrmf thanks for the link. 20.04 from fresh install. This is something that just started not too long ago. 1-2mos maybe. After updating, upgrading Windows 10. I suspected some foul play at hand but, what do I know. Ubuntu has Magic that pops outta nowhere time and again.01:51
ShookDogrfm isn't that the hibernate?01:53
rfmShookDog, yes, as I understand it "fast startup" is basically "when I say 'shut down' do01:54
rfmhibernate instead..01:54
ShookDogI use that command to make a smaller footprint prior to making my CloneZilla backups.01:56

bobdobbsnoob question, but: how do I take a screenshot?03:15
sarnoldtry the printscreen key on your keyboard; depending upon your desktop environment or window manager it might already be hooked up03:15
orange1Print screen keyboard button03:16
bobdobbssarnold: that worked for me on this OS a few months ago. But it no longer works03:16
sarnold:(03:16
bobdobbsctrl+PrtSc doesn't work either03:16
bobdobbsoh, I have a new keyboard. Might sound odd, but maybe that's why it doesn't work any more03:16
sarnoldit's possible, yeah03:18
sarnoldsometimes they do 'clever things' like put multimedia functinos on 'useless' keys, and require to hold down an fn key to get the original meaning03:18
oerhekshttps://www.wikihow.com/Change-Keyboard-Layout-in-Ubuntu03:18
oerheksit does not get autodetected03:19
orange1open the screenshot app in app menu03:19
bobdobbsorange1: I can't find a screenshot app. Although apt search tells me that KDE has one. I'll install and test that.03:20
oerhekssure gnome has got one, in the menu03:21
sarnoldwhat release are you on? 20.04 at least has a gnome-screenshot package03:21
bobdobbsyep, 20.0403:22
bobdobbsI didn't put that '-' in when I searched. I'll try that03:22
bobdobbsno,03:23
orange1probably any screenshot app will work03:23
bobdobbs"gnome-screenshot" isn't onboard either03:23
sarnoldyeah, but one of them may drag in a few hundred megs of dependencies, another one might not03:23
orange1yeah lol03:23
oerhekstype 'screen'...03:23
oerheksor better, select the right keyboardlayout03:24
bobdobbsoerheks: I'm looking at the keyboard layout settings now... just trying to get my head around this part of the settings conf03:25
bobdobbsoerheks: if I type 'screen' in the Application Launcher, I don't get a completion that looks anything like gnome-screenshot03:27
bobdobbsalthough apt-get tells me that I have gnome-screenshot installed03:28
JackFrostscreen is a very useful terminal multiplexer, so if installed that'll show up and likely launch a terminal.03:29
oerheksyes, next to screenshot03:30
oerhekslolz03:30
bobdobbsk, if I run 'gnome-screenshot' from the commandline, I get a screenshot!03:32
bobdobbsthat's good!03:32
bobdobbsnow... how do cajole it to respond to the printscreen button?03:32
bobdobbsDo I growl at it menacingly?03:32
bobdobbsOffer it a kitkat and tea?03:32
bobdobbsa backrub perhaps?03:33
bobdobbspretty much any one of those would work for me03:33
oerheksagain; select the right keyboardlayout03:33
orange1make a custom keyboard cmd to launch it03:33
* oerheks stops feeding trolls03:33
bobdobbsoerheks: dude  I'm not trolling. I've got the keyboard settings open. I'm still trying to make sense of the UI, that's all.03:34
sarnolddo you still have your old keyboard? maybe hook it up and poke the button and see what happens03:37
bobdobbsoerheks: ok, if I select existing keyboard layout, a window  pops with showing an image of a keyboard. It looks exactly like my existing physical keyboard, as far as I can tell. Including teh position of the 'prtsc' button03:38
bobdobbssarnold: I'm afraid that keyboard is no more03:38
sarnoldit is a late keyboard? :(03:38
bobdobbssarnold: yeup03:40
bobdobbsorange1: I'm trying your idea. Google tells me that there's a way to map keys to commands from 'settings' > 'keyboard'. But I can't see that. Maybe it doesn't exist anymore?03:44
orange1idk then sorry03:49
sarnoldI wonder what else might be wonky with your setup.. loads of things don't seem to be working as expected.03:51
jhutchins!xev03:51
jhutchinsStupid bot.03:51
oerheks!info xev03:51
ubottuPackage xev does not exist in impish03:51
oerheks!find xev03:52
ubottuFound: librust-x11rb-dev, librust-xcb-dev, xevil03:52

ubottux11-utils (7.7+5build1, impish): X11 utilities. In component main, is optional. Built by x11-utils. Size 202 kB / 709 kB03:53
jhutchinsThere is a utility, I think it may be xev, that will display the scan code produced by a key.  That code can then be mapped/re-mapped to a function.03:54
sarnoldit's not super friendly but it probably will work03:54
bobdobbsI'm gonna download this and see if it helps: https://github.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper03:55
bobdobbsdarn it. It won't install. package conflict03:56
jhutchinsbobdobbs: First lesson in downloading from github.04:04
jhutchinsIf it's a basic system thing that many people would use within the Ubuntu system, try to find the Ubuntu package before you start grabbing wild code.04:05
bobdobbsjhutchins: this tool isn't in the standard repos. Or any repos for ubuntu as far as I could tell04:06
jhutchinsAt least you didn't do `make install` and create a monster.04:06
bobdobbsheh. I haven't done that for years04:06
jhutchinsbobdobbs: Then maybe it's not something a basic user should be trying to use.04:06
bobdobbsjhutchins: indeed04:06
bobdobbsjhutchins: I'm now looking at a utility called 'xmodmap'. Looks like it's installed by default.04:07
bobdobbshm... I don't think xmodmap will work either. I need to give it the keycode of the prtsc button. But if my current keymapping isn't working, then that keycode probably isn't linked to that button anyway04:14
jhutchinsbobdobbs: Yeah, that's more likely the one I'm thinking of.04:14
jhutchinsIt'll show you what code is generated.04:15
bobdobbsjhutchins: all good. I found the keycode04:15
jhutchinsWhich is often captured by a screenshot utility.04:16
bobdobbsjhutchins: there's a tool called 'xev' that will show you the keycode of a button that you press.04:16
jhutchinsxx:5104:16
jhutchinsAh, xmodmap is display and modify the map.04:18
jhutchinsyeah, xev is what I was thinking of, displays a window and returns event texts.04:19
jhutchinsood luck, I'm outa here.04:19
sarnoldand then you'll need to hook up the keypress to run a command or something04:19
sarnoldI don't know what the best way to do that is, perhaps your desktop environment already has one of those04:19
sarnold(I use i3wm, which handles that sort of thing)04:20
Sven_vBbobdobbs, what desktop environment do you use?04:38
Sven_vBsome have a function to map keys to a command04:39
bobdobbsSven_vB: I'm using the default desktop environment that comes with ubuntu 20.04. I think it's called gnome?04:39
Sven_vBbobdobbs, I see. yeah gnome can definitely do it.04:39
Sven_vBI usually just run "scrot" with the delay option from command line.04:41
Sven_vBin cases where I need keyboard watching temporarily, and thus want to avoid my xfce's global hotkeys, I usually use something like "xinput test 15 | sed -nurf transform.sed | sh". not sure if sed is to your taste.04:43
pi0i installed an application in my /opt directory, i then created a .desktop to launch it from my menu, the application needs to recognize my .bashrc05:11
pi0but it does not, is that because it is launched from within /opt?05:11

KhepraHello. Question for users of the Firefox snap. Does it crash when the snap upgrades? I am running the FF snap on debian, and it crashes whenever the snap upgrades/refreshes. So I am wondering if that's also a problem on Ubuntu.13:06

BluesKajHi folks13:45
[twisti]i plugged an usb wifi in my *virtualbox) ubuntu (18.04), but its not listed with `iw dev`. what must i do for it to be detected/installed ?13:51
KBar[twisti]: is Ubuntu 18.04 the guest or the host?13:54
[twisti]guest13:55
[twisti]host is windows, and the usb device is properly forwarded to the guest13:56
KBar[twisti]: did you install the extension pack?13:56
KBarThe versions should match.13:57
[twisti]no, i wasnt aware that i needed to. let me get on that13:57
=== _miruoy is now known as miruoy
KBar[twisti]: it's not really an Ubuntu support question. Windows or Oracle VM VirtualBox support channels would be more appropriate.13:58
[twisti]i thought i had to, on the ubuntu level, do something for usb wifi adapters to be detected/loaded/whatever14:00
Khepra[twisti]: what does the ubuntu's dmesg say when you plug in the dongle?14:03
[twisti]Khepra: when i plug it in after booting nothing, but when its connected during boot: https://i.imgur.com/NFeMCgr.png14:09
[twisti]its device 1-2, at the end you can see where i unplugged it14:09
Khepra[twisti]: run again and    | grep -i firmware    please14:10
[twisti][Firmware Bug]: TSC doesn't count with PO frequency!14:11
[twisti]nothing else14:11
[twisti]bloody hell, all i want to do is run tuya-convert :(14:12
Khepra[twisti]: does the device show in  `ip link`  ?14:12
[twisti]no14:13
[twisti]wait, let me reboot, since it wasnt detected after i un- and replugged it14:13
[twisti]nope, still not present14:13
mekhamican i ask for pulseaudio help here? i had a device plugged in via usb and it worked just fine; yesterday i added another device and the first one has disappeared and i no longer have audio.14:14
Khepra[twisti]: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1082824/ubuntu-16-04-5-usb-wifi-adapter-0bdab812-not-working  maybe this helps  (for your vendorId and productID)14:15
mekhamithe device still shows up in `pactl list cards` but no longer under `pactl list short sinks`14:15
[twisti]thanks, ill check it out14:15
Khepra[twisti]: oh, alternatively you could try HWE kernels.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack14:18
[twisti]is that for backporting drivers ? the device is a few years old14:20
[twisti]or did i misunderstand your link14:20
Khepra[twisti]: which of the two links?14:20
[twisti]the HWE stack14:21
Khepra[twisti]: it's for newer kernels on older ubuntus. that page explains the concept and reasons14:21
Khepra4.15 is _quite_ old for today's standards. even if your hardware is just as old, sometimes support for it comes years later14:21

Thomas25OK, I have NVIDIA GTX 1070 and iGPU UHD 630. I want to run two guests via KVM, namely, Win11/NVIDIA and Mac/UHD 630. I succeeded at first Win11/NVIDIA no problem. For the second one I think I have two options 1) Start ubuntu headless and passthrough the iGPU 2) Use GVT-g to share the iGPU between host (ubuntu) and Mac.14:33
Thomas25any suggestions?14:33

PleaseWhat is this new installing updates screen during splash screen? This is really annoying. We never had such a thing in linux that requires double reboots to install an update! Did we copy Microsoft Windows?16:29
leftyfbPlease: what exactly are you referring to? There are zero updates in ubuntu that force you to reboot.16:31
tomreynmaybe it's a firmware update? but that would be happening outside of ubuntu16:32
tomreynPlease: take and upload a photo, discuss your ubuntu version etc.16:34
PleaseI see regular updates that requires reboot and during reboot, after grub and loading kernel, splash screen will show installing updates XX% and then requires another reboot after that. I'm using ubuntu 21.10 for desktop and right now I don't have any pictures. But I will grab one as soon as it happens16:36
leftyfbPlease: that does not sounds like ubuntu to me16:37
BluesKajPlease, turn off automatic updates in your package manager16:37
leftyfbPlease: also, as I said, zero updates will force you to reboot. Do your updates and don't worry about rebooting until you feel like it16:37
tomreynthere are updates which require reboots for the reboot to be applied, but the reboot does not need to be done instantly, you can do it any time later.16:38
tomreynupdates installig on a splash screen during boot would be news to me, i don't think that exists as part of ubuntu.16:39
leftyfbit doesn't16:39
PleaseI know about kernel updates. But this one is new and I'd never seen something like that. It does the update process during splash screen and requires further reboots16:39
tomreynsee my above theory about a firmware upgrade16:40
leftyfbI've been running Ubuntu since 2007, there is no splash screen in ubuntu that says "installing updates XX%"16:40
ioriaquite sure it's the firmware, 'cause it needs to be done one by one ( If there were more than one firmware update), so multiple reboots16:48
ioriaPlease, something like this ? :  https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/firmware-update-in-progress-ubuntu.jpg?w=800&ssl=116:49
PleaseMaybe I have to mention that is Kubuntu, but I don't think so if it is something specific to kubuntu. Yet I'm asking it in #kubuntu to see if I get any answers or not16:50
Pleaseioria: No :)16:50
arsixhi, y'all, i'm on ubuntu 21.10 (upgraded from 20.04). i have my keyboard layout set to dvorak but when i login to my window manager (spectrwm, *not* the stock ubuntu WM) for the first time after reboot, i end up in qwerty. it's especially strange because it's definitely dvorak at the gdm3 screen. also strange is that i've got a specific line in my .xsession file that explicitly runs setxkbmap and i *know*16:55
arsixthis line is getting executed but i still end up in qwerty. it doesn't happen if i log in with the stock ubuntu WM, though, so i'm not sure what's going on here. anybody have any ideas?16:55
leftyfbarsix: sounds like a spectrwm issue16:57
PleaseAlright folks. Found it. It is something related to Discover. A packages manager used in KDE. It downloads updates and schedules installing them during next reboot. https://blog.neon.kde.org/2021/03/01/offline-updates-are-coming/16:59

axsuulHi, I'm having an issue where on reboot, one of my USB devices disappears from /dev/tty*. The only way to fix this so far is to unplug the USB device and plug it back in and then it'll reappear (e.g. /dev/ttyACM0). Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?17:05
axsuulI'm on 20.0417:05
ioriai see17:06
Pleaseaxsuul: After reboot and before unplugging and replugging it, check if the usb device is listed using lsusb. If it was not, check journalctrl to see if it see reporting failures during usb device enumeration. If there were error logs, then it means your usb device has problems.17:08
arsixleftyfb: yeah, that would be my inclination, too, but this has never been a problem before i upgraded to 21.10, so i'm wondering if the stock ubuntu WM runs some extra init script on startup that spectrwm just doesn't know about or something like that. i'm also asking in the spectrwm support channel, for what it's worth17:09
PleaseIs this Arduino? Did you add any special rules to make it accessible for normal users?17:11

evul18Hey there! I had two servers that magically started failing to apt/apt-get update. It always fails by just saying Connection Failed [IP: <IP> <Port>] I can curl and wget the endpoints without any issue and no proxy is configured. I rebooted one server to troubleshoot, and when it came back up it works exactly as intended. What else can I possibly18:13
evul18check to figure out what could be causing this?18:13
jhutchinsPlease: The device is probably looking for some sort of initialisation that is not triggered by reboot.18:13
jhutchinsPlease: Ooops, sry.18:13
evul18What would a reboot possibly fix or change that I can't do through some other mechanism?18:14

evul18jhutchins ha. I was going to say, I don't think that would impact it, but I'm willing to try anything :P18:18
tomreynevul18: maybe the network environment got misconfigured through dhcp previously, and the reboot helped? or maybe the there was a temporary network issue outside of this system?18:19
Pleaseaxsuul doesn't talk, so we really don't know. We need to know what the usb device is and providing VID/PID can be useful. I have developed some usb devices, but I never had faced such problem.18:19
evul18tomreyn both servers are on the same VLAN, same vSphere host, etc. and are using the same internet connection.18:20
axsuulPlease: thanks, sorry about that! I actually discovered that the USB device is having the issue itself. it's the Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 and it has issues with the raspi 4, which I'm using18:20
evul18After rebooting the single server, it continues to work, and the old one continues to not work. It's got to be something OS related tomreyn18:20
axsuulLooks like it has issues if port is USB318:20
tomreynevul18: oh, so you still have one where you can reproduce it? then i'd take a look at the routing there18:21
tomreyni.e. start with a traceroute tot he target18:22

tomreynsearch for Debug::Acquire in apt.conf(5)18:25

ioriai suspect this apt.datadoghq.com agent, but really don't know what that is18:38
tomreynevul18: not much, i guess. all i can think of is some network issue such as mtu / mss OR something related to third party software, libc issues.18:39
tomreynbut that's a lot of guessing18:39

evul18tomreyn would that explain the the reboot making it work on the other host?18:40
