[03:17] <Trobus> Hi. I installed Ubuntu desktop and I'm following the guide for "Gnome Remote Desktop" (https://help.ubuntu.com/22.04/ubuntu-help/sharing-desktop.html.en). I installed the package but I don't see any option for "screen sharing". Is there another step I need to do?
[03:17] <Aarch64debian> !snap
[03:18] <Aarch64debian> how do u install snap shop on ubuntu jammy dev
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> !next | Aarch64debian
[03:24] <Aarch64debian> !snap-store
[03:25] <lotuspsychje> Aarch64debian: snap-store is already default on the latest ubuntu releases
[03:42] <Gallomimia> does ANYONE use 21.10 at all, because it's very disappointing to me. performance, stability, usability. substandard.
[03:43] <guiverc> Gallomimia, yes a lot of people do & it's stable in my experience (& fast), but people cannot provide support from a broad statement like what you just made - this is a support room, not dicussion room (use #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic for that)
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> Gallomimia: need more stable see also !LTS
[03:45] <rjwiii> Gallomimia: That's why I always stick with LTS for everyday use ...
[03:46] <rjwiii> I'll upgrade to 22.04.1 in July of 2022 ...
[04:15] <Gallomimia> yeah i'm going to switch to the LTS version i think. i wish i had some explaination for the amazing and staggering memory leaks i am experiencing. after only a day of uptime, GPU resources and main memory become wildly contested, and the system is unable to run programs and games that run fine right after a reboot. i'd be more interested in filing reports and finding causes to submit to devs than fixing it for my own
[04:15] <Gallomimia> purposes.
[04:16] <Gallomimia> i really can't imagine what's going on. things were never this bad on my hardware. perhaps i have bad kernel options or bios settings?
[04:17] <Gallomimia> i've run 16.04 and 18.04 on this same configuration with no problems, plenty of speed and stability, without even a swap file. nothing changed except an SSD, and now it's like watching honey drip.
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> Gallomimia: some kernel versions can have bad effects on a system, a deeper look would be needed into your logs to findout whats going on
[04:20] <Gallomimia> i'm open to suggestions
[04:20] <Gallomimia> but it seems like no programs can reliably free unused memory
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> Gallomimia: sharing your dmesg would be a good start
[04:21] <Gallomimia> perhaps you have a manual or a set of steps i can follow? that sounds like an indepth job which might take me considerable time
[04:22] <Gallomimia> dmesg -t | netcat ....
[04:22] <Gallomimia> uhhhh paste.ubuntu.com:9999?
[04:23] <lotuspsychje> you know howto paste Gallomimia how many years have you been asking support already...
[04:23] <Gallomimia> uh... all of them? i think
[04:26] <Gallomimia> https://termbin.com/nyqb
[04:26] <Gallomimia> secure boot disabled.... i don't think that's supposed to be
[04:28] <Gallomimia> another thing that's changed in my config is to have the amdiommu kernel opt
[04:32] <SamuelMarks> hi
[04:32] <Gallomimia> hullo
[04:32] <SamuelMarks> On Ubuntu but not Debian I'm getting: "/usr/include/string.h:33:10: fatal error: 'stddef.h' file not found". Any ideas?
[04:32] <SamuelMarks> https://github.com/SamuelMarks/type-correct/runs/4583832029?check_suite_focus=true#step:7:104
[04:33] <Gallomimia> your library path files aren't configured properly
[04:33] <SamuelMarks> What should they be?
[04:33] <Gallomimia> depends what it is you're trying to do
[04:33] <Gallomimia> also, i have no idea
[04:33] <Gallomimia> are you... compiling something?
[04:34] <SamuelMarks> Yes, LLVM: https://github.com/SamuelMarks/type-correct/blob/master/.github/workflows/x86-ubuntu-llvm-from-sources.yml
[04:34] <Gallomimia> well the first thing you should find is this stddef.h
[04:34] <Gallomimia> does it exist? is it in the same place as string.h ?
[04:34] <SamuelMarks> But that's the confusing bit, it's stdlib
[04:35] <Gallomimia> yeah...
[04:35] <Gallomimia> i'd like to think one of the -L or -H arguments to the make file commands should be altered but it's beyond me
[04:35] <SamuelMarks> Since C89 at least
[04:39] <Gallomimia> what else can i say? someone or something can't find it. in my experience ubuntu is not exactly known for having a standard location to keep all the things. seems to be in a state of flux to change from an old way to a new way
[04:40] <Gallomimia> perhaps, one day, they'll nail that down. i hope so
[06:11] <oztunan> Hi, I'm having trouble configuring netplan to change the DNS server.
[06:11] <oztunan> ubuntu 20.04
[06:26] <c0r1s> ...
[06:28] <oztunan> idk, I'm taking a break now.
[06:56] <SudoBash> oztunan, do you need some help?
[06:57] <oztunan> I might. I'm not sure what the issue is.
[06:57] <SudoBash> whats going on?
[06:57] <oztunan> Hopefully my vps isn't just blocking me from changing it. I'm waiting for a response from them.
[06:57] <oztunan> I'm setting up a pi-hole, and I need to change the DNS to 127.0.0.1
[06:59] <SudoBash> I've never done pi-hole, but setting the DNS is done a few different ways on a different settings, I guess you're using netplan? but there is also the /etc/resolv.conf for temporarily testing DNS also
[07:00] <SudoBash> some distros use /etc/resolv.conf statically and some dynamically, overwriting it by the network manager being used
[07:01] <oztunan> It has netplan
[07:02] <SudoBash> resolv.conf is still useful to know on most systems, so what is the problem you're having?
[07:02] <SudoBash> paste your netplan conf to https://paste.ubuntu.com/
[07:03] <oztunan> I try to sudo netplan generate && sudo netplan apply && sudo reboot, and it spits out a lot of errors.
[07:04] <oztunan> I have to register, 1 sec
[07:04] <SudoBash> paste the errors and the && implies only execute the next command if the previous is successful, so it could be failing on any of those except reboot obviously
[07:10] <oztunan> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JqJqtYB3NV/
[07:10] <oztunan> That's just the netplan file
[07:13] <oztunan> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FsrrdbzvRf/
[07:13] <oztunan> That's the error
[07:13] <oztunan> SudoBash ^
[07:14] <Intelo> Hi
[07:14] <oztunan> hi
[07:15] <Intelo> Is there a downloader app for ubuntu that can download and detect any kind of videos in a website like youtube, vimeo, linkedin learning or any other and download it? Whats the most featureful download manager out there that can do this?
[07:15] <ravage> youtube-dl
[07:15] <oztunan> "Failed to start systemd-networkd.service: Unit systemd-networkd.service is masked." I must be this.
[07:16] <JackFrost> If you look into youtube-dl, you may want to check out yt-dlp instead.
[07:16] <oztunan> *it must be this
[07:17] <SudoBash> oztunan nameservers:
[07:17] <SudoBash>                 addresses:
[07:17] <SudoBash>                 - 127.0.0.1
[07:18] <oztunan> That didn't work either. apparently you can use either format.
[07:18] <SudoBash> addresses: [ "127.0.01"]
[07:18] <SudoBash> ?
[07:19] <SudoBash> well you already have that netplan, take out the generate and just do netplan apply
[07:20] <yukiup> [::1]
[07:20] <oztunan> Same issue
[07:20] <SudoBash> any of those should work supposedly
[07:20] <SudoBash> hmm I wonder how many people need help with netplan on a daily basis...
[07:22] <oztunan> This is the first time I couldn't get it to work.
[07:22] <SudoBash> netplan hates tab's, are you using tabs or spaces?
[07:22] <oztunan> It yelled at me when I used tabs, so no tabs.
[07:23] <SudoBash> are you copying and pasting your config or typing it?
[07:24] <Intelo> ravage JackFrost its not about only youtube. I want other sites as well
[07:24] <JackFrost> youtube-dl isn't even close to just for YouTube.
[07:25] <SudoBash> if nothing is working with multiple formats that are supposed to work, then I'd say you have a stray tab or something off with syntax somewhere you're not noticing, so check all ends on all lines too
[07:26] <SudoBash> nuke file and rewrite with nano or vi if you or gedit / pluma
[07:26] <SudoBash> if you know how to use vi/nano, else use gedit or pluma or something in gui
[07:26] <oztunan> I'm writing it in nano
[07:26] <oztunan> Copy pasting too, but editing it.
[07:27] <SudoBash> well nano is pretty good with pasting, it's copying from it that you really have to be careful with
[07:27] <Intelo> ravage JackFrost youtube-dl is a commandline app? I have to give url of video each time or it integrates with browser?
[07:28] <JackFrost> mpv works with it, but commandline generally, Intelo.  There's also a GUI for it, though.
[07:28] <Intelo> JackFrost what is yt-dlp
[07:28] <Intelo> JackFrost ok which gui?
[07:29] <SudoBash> wait you do have a eth0 right? dmesg |grep eth0
[07:29] <JackFrost> Intelo: It's a fork that's much more activly maintained at this point, youtube-dl lost it's (only?) active maintainer.
[07:29] <SudoBash> ip link also, or ifconfig if you have net-tools
[07:30] <Intelo> JackFrost so what might be the easiest way to go from here  now?
[07:30] <Intelo> JackFrost would anyone here help https://www.tecmint.com/download-managers-for-linux/ ?
[07:31] <oztunan> Yes, it's eth0
[07:31] <Intelo> JackFrost in combination with youtube-dl
[07:34] <oztunan> idk, this is strange. I might have to try another vps service.
[07:34] <SudoBash> uname -r
[07:35] <oztunan> 5.4.0-91-generic
[07:35] <oztunan> ubuntu 20.04 server
[07:36] <SudoBash> mark the config as unhidden, I accidentally closed out of it.. I would start over with a fresh file and paste a simple example from a different source to make sure its not an encoding issue from your copy
[07:37] <SudoBash> that netplan error is horribly vague
[07:40] <Intelo> JackFrost I think I forgot. I have to be loggedin with linked learning. So youtube-dl won't work. I should use a browser integrated dl manager
[07:40] <Intelo> In browser integrated managers: Is there a downloader app for ubuntu that can download and detect any kind of videos in a website like youtube, vimeo, linkedin learning or any other and download it? Whats the most featureful download manager out there that can do this?
[07:40] <SudoBash> some versions of netplan use Dhcp4: yes/no and some Dhcp4: true,  documents mention both
[07:46] <oztunan> I'm going to put this on the backburner for now. It's getting late.
[07:46] <oztunan> Thanks for your help.
[07:57] <ducasse> Intelo: i've not seen anything non command line that can do that
[07:58] <Intelo> ducasse well, browser extensions..
[07:59] <ducasse> that might be, i try to avoid those
[08:00] <Intelo> ducasse if the site needs login, then I can't use commandline
[08:00] <Intelo> ducasse right?
[08:00] <ducasse> are there no cli tools that can use the cookie or that you can pass user/pw?
[08:01] <ravage> Intelo: https://github.com/ahmedayman4a/Linkedin-Learning-Courses-Downloader
[08:02] <ledeni> Intelo, i used to use add-on in firefox 'Video DownloadHelper'

[12:10] <w_> Hello. First I was only using Ubuntu on my laptop, but I wanted to move to a dual boot Windows 10/Ubuntu, so I have made a backup of my home directory and I made a snapshot with Timeshift (to preserve my system settings). When I want to restore the snapshot, after installing Windows and Ubuntu, Timeshift shows the files it will restore, including lots of grub files. I am wondering if my dual boot will break if I proceed with restoring the previous snapshot? Thanks.
[12:26] <mjt> not really familiar but I would have thought it'd overwrite the bootloader unless you excluded it

[12:54] <Ducker> Hello, friends! Tech support has asked me to upgrade from 20.04 LTS to 20.10. I tried a couple of procedures through the update manager and can get 21.04 directly. Is there a way to go to 20.10 instead? Thanks!
[12:55] <ThinkT510> 20.10 is end of life
[12:55] <ThinkT510> did they mean 21.10?
[12:56] <ThinkT510> even then you'd need to go one release at a time. you can only directly upgrade an LTS release to another LTS release
[12:57] <Ducker> ThinkT510 (reading their email) they wrote 20.10. :)   I was instructed to go from LTS to a non-LTS...
[12:57] <ThinkT510> and 20.10 is no longer supported
[12:58] <Ducker> Thanks, that's good to know. I will go back to them. So it's either 21.04 or the next LTS release?
[12:59] <ThinkT510> 21.04 was released april 2021 (hence the number) and only gets 9 months support. LTS releases get 5 years support
[12:59] <ThinkT510> 21.04 is still currently supported but no for much longer
[12:59] <ThinkT510> the latest release is 21.10
[12:59] <ThinkT510> 22.04 will be the next LTS release
[12:59] <Ducker> Full ack! Sorry the confusion! :)
[13:01] <oerheks> Ducker, in software & updates, select 'to any new version' should work, no?
[13:01] <Ducker> Thanks again, ThinkT510! I really appreciate the help! Happy holidays!
[13:02] <Ducker> oerheks: ah yes, I tried that. :)  But since it's a corporate/work machine, I need to (blindly) follow their IT/tech support procedures.
[13:02] <Ducker> Now I have good arguments to counterattack. :)
[13:04] <Ducker> oerheks: thanks for the heads up! Happy holidays!
[13:05] <oerheks> have fun!
[13:18] <pagios> can i install 20.04 with ZFS on OS ?
[13:18] <pagios> i only see xfs and ext4
[13:19] <jkc> pagios: Not in the installer.
[13:19] <oerheks> painope, 21.10 gives that option though
[13:19] <pagios> is it supported? what is best ? ext 4 ?
[13:19] <oerheks> pagios ^^
[13:20] <oerheks> ext4 is fine.
[13:20] <pagios> i need LTS
[13:20] <oerheks> next LTS will have that option.
[13:21] <jkc> Can we get it in the SERVER install now? :D

[13:24] <lotuspsychje> pagios: april 2022
[13:25] <lotuspsychje> !next | pagios see also
[13:25] <pagios> is it best to install my OS with ext4 and the data on a zfs on 20.04 or can i go with ext4 all the way ?
[13:47] <sidh> pagios: yes it is best
[13:47] <sidh> zsys is pure crap
[13:48] <sidh> sorry
[13:48] <sidh> zsys is not production ready
[13:48] <sidh> I've been trapped
[13:49] <sidh> oops sorry, I thought you asked between pure zsys (zfsOnroot the canonical way) install Vs ext4 for / and zpool for data (I recommend the latest)
[13:52] <krisstern> pagios: Think using ext4 all the way is simpler

[13:57] <oerheks> hi BluesKaj
[13:57] <BluesKaj> hey oerheks
[14:20] <xheimlich> on 18.04 -- is there some way to hard invert all colors in my screen? preferrably from the cli as I'm not using gnome.
[14:20] <xheimlich> white background wo^H^Hlibreoffice page is giving me a headache.
[14:20] <xheimlich> I also accept general suggestions for white screen fatigue headaches...
[14:22] <oerheks> https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/is-there-a-dark-mode-for-libre-office/38794
[14:22] <jkc> xheimlich: I don't know if it will help you as much, but I wear blue light-blocking glasses when I'm doing computer work. Gunnar Optiks.
[14:23] <oerheks> or https://www.debugpoint.com/2020/01/how-to-enable-dark-mode-libreoffice/
[14:23] <xheimlich> I pretty much wear (prescription) sunglasses whenever I'm outside before sunset. even if it's heavily clouded.
[14:24] <xheimlich> glasses are prescription, sunglasses was a vanity thing. but I was wearing lots of hats trying to cover my eyes and didn't realize I was growing really ssensitive to sunlight.
[14:24] <xheimlich> baby son laughs at me like Im a clown whenever I have them on. I guess I'll just pick them up. Thanks for the link too.
[14:27] <jkc> xheimlich: They offer prescription options, too.

[15:03] <barnaba[m]> I'm having readability issues with curses programs, are there terminal color schemes to look for that are specifically designed to work? Is there some way to have a nice terminal while being able to use ncurses apps? attached, midnight commander having pretty bad contrast
[15:04] <barnaba[m]> Are people writing in ncurses just picking random colors and hoping it'll work with whatever scheme the end user has?
[15:22] <peteradel> hello
[15:29] <xheimlich> barnaba[m]: some terminals like kitty have text configuration languages.
[15:29] <xheimlich> then you can use like python and colorthief or something else you prefer and extract color schemes from the Old Masters or lingerie catalogs, as you prefer. I rotate color schemes daily in this way.
[15:31] <barnaba[m]> xheimlich: this is nice, but I don't see how it solves a problem of finding apps just really want to use white on blue and your blue is too light, and then some different app really thinks the blue should be readable on black and your blue is too dark now
[15:31] <barnaba[m]> I mean, it technically solves the issue on some days I suppose
[15:33] <barnaba[m]> And then there's gitps which thinks cyan on blue should be fine
[15:39] <xheimlich> colorthief isn't as good as the adobe tool though.
[15:39] <xheimlich> there's some impressive mojo there, sp. to use actual art.
[15:40] <xheimlich> barnaba[m]: if you don't insist on frequent automatic variation, you should crank some Titian, Vermeer, etc. through the adobe color web app.
[15:41] <xheimlich> I actually made an Elo-like streamlit app at some point so I could rank paintings, so I could make adobe color themes.
[15:41] <xheimlich> but I get bored easily.
[15:42] <xheimlich> (this is just a script basically, but it's ready to use https://github.com/asemic-horizon/preftarget )
[15:51] <sem> Do any of you use software raid with SSD and HDD in combination? (To have fast read speeds on the SDD, but reduce frequent writes using the HDD?)
[15:52] <leftyfb> sem: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[15:52] <sem> *in ubuntu
[15:53] <leftyfb> sem: how does someone answering "yes" or "no" to your question solve your issue with ubuntu?
[15:53] <sem> It's more of a discussion about ubuntu than a problem with ubuntu
[15:54] <leftyfb> !discuss | sem
[15:54] <sem> i guess IRC is dead
[15:54] <leftyfb> sem: not sure what brought you to that conclusion, but sure
[15:55] <leftyfb> sem: this is a support channel. Not a discussion channel. It's pretty simple
[15:55] <sem> i'm not discussing wallpapers or something, I have questions about the technical side of it.
[15:56] <leftyfb> sem: Try describing your issue, what you have done to try to solve it and any error messages or logs (in pastebin please) so people can help you with your issue.
[15:56] <oerheks> then ask your real question?
[15:57] <sem> I can certainly do that oerheks :)
[15:57] <sem> I am wondering if it is worth setting up software raid with a SSD or HDD or if it would be too finicky
[15:57] <sem> my SSD only has about 40 GB of space on it
[15:58] <sem> and in the past I have run out of space on my ubuntu partitions
[15:58] <oerheks> for me it makes no sense, your bottleneck is still the slow hdd , that is if you split the partitions over both
[15:58] <sem> so I am wondering how to install ubuntu across the 40 GB ssd partition and the larger ~800 gb of space I have on HDD, and hopefully use md to manage the reads/writes
[15:59] <leftyfb> sem: your speeds will be that of the 800GB spinner
[15:59] <sem> well wouldn't you speed up some things by having frequently-read files on the SSD
[15:59] <leftyfb> sem: put the OS on your SSD and mount the 800G on something like /home or wherever you're going to be taking up the most space
[16:00] <sem> on my other system, I could manage my own data, but it was the Ubuntu system that outgrew the 10 GB partition I gave it
[16:01] <sem> i am wondering how long 40 GB will last for the system
[16:01] <sem> https://wiki.debian.org/Multi%20HDD/SSD%20Partition%20Scheme
[16:01] <sem> i know this is for debian but I am wondering if you can do the same think with md in ubuntu
[16:01] <leftyfb> sem:  it was last as long as you don't fill it up with your own files or applications. Logs should be rotated just fine
[16:04] <srv> -`+
[16:04] <sem> I feel like I'm over my head with the raid stuff. I think I will install to the SSD, and put /home, /var, and /tmp on the HDD to save space on the SSD
[16:06] <srv> cxz
[16:07] <leftyfb> srv: can we help you with something?
[16:09] <srv> ++
[16:09] <srv> -`
[16:10] <sem> If I wanted to try a few different versions of Ubuntu Live CDs from one USB drive, is there a way to do that?
[16:10] <leftyfb> srv: please stop
[16:11] <leftyfb> sem: yes, though not something that is supported here. Also, define "versions". If you're referring to desktop environments like KDE vs Gnome, you can install both on the same installation and log into each of them separately
[16:11] <sem> leftyfb, i've done that before and it gets messy. Basically I want to try the LTS and the current release, and see if the hardware supports both
[16:12] <sem> would you still use multiboot for the USB (I think it was called that 10 years ago) or is there a new way
[16:12] <srv> leftyfb i was cleaning my keyboard i didnt even realize that i as flooding the channel
[16:13] <srv> sorry
[16:13] <lotuspsychje> sem: try the not officially supported tool 'ventoy' for linux
[16:13] <leftyfb> sem: you can ask for 3rd party software recommendations in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss. There's lots of tutorials online to build your own multiboot usb
[16:13] <wondering> hey guys, i've got a weird question. how can i boot into a partition (the "main" one that has the /home/ folders and stuff) if i deleted the efi/boot partition? (i dont have it anymore)
[16:13] <sem> thanks!
[16:15] <oerheks> wondering, i guess the answer is no ?
[16:15] <leftyfb> wondering: you'll want to rebuild that partition
[16:16] <wondering> leftyfb: how do i do that? also will it get rid of any files or stuff?
[16:16] <leftyfb> wondering: what version of ubuntu?
[16:17] <wondering> leftyfb: i dont remember exactly as it's on an external hard drive i've bad for the past 2 years, but it's fairly recent
[16:17] <wondering> i needed to clear out my laptop so i just copied the partition with gparted onto an external hard drive
[16:18] <wondering> and it's been there since then
[16:18] <leftyfb> wondering: how/why did you delete the EFI partition?
[16:20] <wondering> leftyfb: i was dual booting windows and ubuntu on my laptop a couple years ago, and i accumulated some files on both of them. i had to fresh install windows but i didn't want to lose my files, so i copied the windows C partition and the main ubuntu partition using gparted to an externak hard drive, i didn't know back then that i should've also
[16:20] <wondering> copied the efi partition
[16:21] <leftyfb> wondering: yeah, bit of a mess you've got there. I can tell you, you are much better off just installing from scratch and restoring your files from backup
[16:23] <wondering> leftyfb: will that restore my browser bookmarks and stuff? do you think i can use a vm of some sort instead of reinstalling and restoring?
[16:24] <leaftype> wondering: depends on how you backup. browser bookmarks IIRC, are kept in your home folder for all the big browsers, so if you copy that over you should have all your stuff except any programs you installed
[16:25] <leaftype> I've used the backup program in ubuntu (deja dup), and it restores all my browser settings just fine
[16:25] <wondering> leaftype: oh i see
[16:26] <wondering> thanks leftyfb and leaftype, i appreciate the help
[16:26] <leaftype> good luck!
[16:26] <wondering> thanks
[16:33] <tomathy> hi, my computer is going into a hibernate/logoff mode after like 10 minutes, yet in the power settings it's set as an hour
[16:34] <tomathy> anyone know why?
[16:34] <tomathy> i'm using linux mint
[16:34] <tomathy> it's annoying because it means hexchat closes
[16:35] <tomathy> any way to make hexchat stay up even if logged off?
[16:36] <Maik> tomathy: linux mint isn't supported here
[16:36] <tomathy> isn't mint just ubuntu?
[16:36] <Maik> go to their channel over at Spotchat
[16:36] <Maik> !Mint
[16:38] <Maik> tomathy: and as the cannel topic says: "#ubuntu supports Ubuntu and official flavors; versions 18.04, 20.04, 21.04, 21.10 | Unofficial derivatives: use your distro's support channel, not here."
[16:38] <Maik> cannel/channel
[16:40] <leftyfb> tomathy: linux mint is based on parts of Ubuntu and Debian along with lots of customizations. It is not Ubuntu
[16:40] <tomathy> ok

[17:48] <Gallomimia> vidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to grab modeset ownership
[17:48] <Gallomimia> was looking at this error in my dmesg last night with help from eyes of lotuspsychje. threads i can find on the subject are very non-specific as to the cause or solution.
[17:53] <Gallomimia> hm. some people say an update to kernel 5.14 is needed. others say only adding a kernel option fixes. anyone who knows anything about this issue would be nice to hear comments
[17:55] <Gallomimia> in other news, i seem to have confused the grub options for command line linux (default) which is where i should be adding things?
[17:55] <Gallomimia> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[17:55] <Gallomimia> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="amd_iommu=on iommu=pt"
[17:57] <Gallomimia> and now a reboot
[18:37] <Gallomimia> hmmm. the problem remains.

[20:04] <leftyfb> !eol | funabashi
[20:04] <leftyfb> funabashi: Ubuntu 17.10 went end of life over 5 years ago
[20:05] <funabashi> leftyfb: ok but if i want to install bind9 on it, how can i solve it ?
[20:05] <leftyfb> funabashi: you upgrade to a supported release
[20:05] <funabashi> :/
[20:06] <Maik> either install 20.04 LTS or 21.10 interim release funabashi
[20:07] <leftyfb> funabashi: if you don't plan on upgrading every 9 months, I would stick with an LTS release like 20.04. That will be supported for another 3+ years
[20:07] <funabashi> but i want it on my old system
[20:07] <Maik> funabashi: it's EOL
[20:07] <Maik> which means not supported anymore and vulnerable
[20:07] <funabashi> I knwo its
[20:08] <Maik> well then
[20:08] <funabashi> thanks anyway
[20:08] <Maik> we don't support EOL versions
[20:08] <leftyfb> funabashi: you can't just install packages from different releases. Especially one like bind9 and especially on an EOL release
[20:10] <funabashi> I will install it on my system.
[20:10] <Maik> funabashi: what you're going to install...?
[20:11] <leftyfb> funabashi: please be aware that you will not be able to receive any support for your current installation of ubuntu in here or #ubuntu-server
[20:11] <funabashi> bind
[20:11] <Maik> funabashi: as said you acn't install it
[20:11] <Maik> can't*
[20:11] <funabashi> its almost done
[20:12] <oerheks> weird, the repo is no longer available
[20:12] <leftyfb> funabashi: when (not if) you make a complete mess of your unsupported install, we will be happy to help you with installing 20.04
[20:12] <funabashi> Its easy for you guys and say for all problems out there, "update system and then do .... done
[20:12] <Maik> good luck with your EOL version then, don't ask for further support here
[20:13] <leftyfb> funabashi: you are running a version that is completely unsupportable.
[20:13] <Maik> for the third or fifth time....
[20:13] <neorpheus> hello there, anyone have any experience getting windows games running under steam+proton? im trying to get an older world of warcraft client going to see if it performs any better in steam than just running it under wine but when i try to launch the game steam attempts to "chdir" to the game folder then nothing else happens and the "runnung" button in steam flashes right back to "launch", im at a
[20:13] <funabashi> Why not help ppl with general Ubuntu issues?
[20:13] <neorpheus> loss and hoping yall might know what to do or where else to ask
[20:14] <Maik> funabashi: can you read?
[20:14] <leftyfb> funabashi: we do, but only for supported releases of ubuntu
[20:14] <funabashi> why?
[20:14] <leftyfb> funabashi: *unsupportabled*
[20:14] <funabashi> why care if old or new system?
[20:14] <leftyfb> funabashi: *unsupportabled*
[20:14] <funabashi> :x
[20:14] <Maik> funabashi: as per channel topic: #ubuntu supports Ubuntu and official flavors; versions 18.04, 20.04, 21.04, 21.10
[20:15] <funabashi> strange
[20:15] <Maik> not strange at all
[20:15] <JanC> by saying that 17.10 can't work they are helping you
[20:16] <Maik> funabashi: if you want support then install a newer Ubuntu version please that IS supported
[20:17] <funabashi> Well I have all possible versions you can imagine on my systems
[20:17] <Maik> sigh
[20:17] <JanC> just upgrade to 18.04 first, that version is supported until 2023 (or even 2028 if you want)
[20:17] <leftyfb> funabashi: good luck. Please do not ask for help with EOL releases going forward
[20:17] <Maik> you're just poking fun aren't you funabashi
[20:18] <Maik> anyway, good luck with your unsupported, vulnerable, EOL system
[20:19] <funabashi> leftyfb and Maik I'm not even allowed to discuss Ubuntu 22.0x in here?
[20:19] <Maik> nope
[20:19] <leftyfb> ubuntu+1 | funabashi
[20:19] <webchat29> hello I need help to fix a move/resize crashed operation with gparted from a live boot-repair disk
[20:19] <leftyfb> !ubuntu+1 | funabashi
[20:19] <funabashi> :)
[20:19] <leftyfb> funabashi: there is a dedicated channel specifically for releases still under development
[20:20] <oerheks> so you have been here before, funabashi
[20:20] <funabashi> ofc
[20:21] <leftyfb> funabashi has been here since May of 2017. They should be well aware of everything being discussed here
[20:21] <webchat29> anyone
[20:21] <Maik> leftyfb: i somehow couldn't take them serious... sorry
[20:22]  * Maik is out
[20:22] <oerheks> webchat29, resizing a crashed os on a partition?
[20:22] <oerheks> fix the crash first, theen boot a live iso, and use 'disks' graphical manager
[20:24] <webchat29> oerheks using gparted to resize move a windows 10 partition it took 9 hours but at 20' left to complete someone shutdown my computer
[20:24] <Very_Confused_Pe> So... where would you guys recommend I go if im new(-ish) to Linux and dont know what to do?
[20:24] <Very_Confused_Pe> funnily enough it also inolves gparted lol
[20:24] <webchat29> oerheks how to fix the moved filesystem?
[20:24] <Maik> Very_Confused_Pe: wrong channel to ask if it's not Ubuntu related
[20:24] <Very_Confused_Pe> Does Pop count?
[20:24] <leftyfb> webchat29: you should go to #windows for help with recovering a Windows partition
[20:24] <Maik> no
[20:25] <Maik> Very_Confused_Pe: ^
[20:25] <webchat29> oerheks I can see partitions but not mount them
[20:25] <leftyfb> Very_Confused_Pe: we cannot support PopOS here, sorry
[20:25] <webchat29> leftyfb I used gparted to resize it
[20:25] <Very_Confused_Pe> ah, my bad. anyone know where I should go?
[20:25] <Maik> #linux maybe
[20:25] <leftyfb> webchat29: try mounting the Windows partitions from a Windows machine. Running chkdsk on them and rebooting, TWICE. Then see if you can mount in Ubuntu
[20:26] <oerheks> if you cannotm ount them, resize will not work i guess
[20:26] <oerheks> c/cannot mount
[20:26] <webchat29> leftyfb I was using boot-repair because my pc had a dual boot windows 10 macbuntu
[20:26] <leftyfb> webchat29: that said, any further help is with recovering Windows partitions, regardless of the tool you used to cause the issue
[20:26] <oerheks> "macbuntu"
[20:27] <leftyfb> webchat29: good luck
[20:28] <oerheks> macbuntu is notorious for heavy system changes, even it is a "theme"
[20:30] <webchat29> oerheks yeah I could not access macbuntu so I tried boot repair disk... which told me windows 10 EFI boot partition was too small then I tried to resize filesystem partition moving it to the right so I could grow it to  200MB but someone shutdown my computer 20' before the first step was complete... I came here for some advice before messing
[20:30] <webchat29> things making it worse
[20:31] <Maik> webchat29: macbuntu does not exist as distro except as a theme
[20:31] <Maik> and even if macbuntu was a distro, it's not supported here
[20:31] <webchat29> Maik yeah that macbuntu I use. the theme
[20:31] <oerheks> windows told you that? 250 mb would be enough for 10 operating systems
[20:32] <oerheks> macbuntu with the compiz plugin, so old..
[20:32] <webchat29> oerheks Boot repair told me
[20:32] <leftyfb> webchat29: can you access the linux partitions?
[20:32] <Maik> webchat29: what ubuntu version?
[20:32] <Maik> what/which
[20:32] <oerheks> i think windows saying that you have a virus, that needs nmore
[20:32] <webchat29> leftyfb only from a live cd or usb
[20:32] <webchat29> 20.04
[20:33] <leftyfb> webchat29: ok, can you boot the system to Ubuntu?
[20:33] <Maik> webchat29: then say Ubuntu 20.04 instead of Macbuntu ;)
[20:33] <webchat29> leftyfb yeah
[20:33] <webchat29> Ubuntu 20.04
[20:34] <webchat29> leftyfb but I would need to fix the grub first...again
[20:34] <leftyfb> webchat29: ok. At this point, there is no problem with Ubuntu. You do not have an Ubuntu support question. Your issue is with a Windows partition/installation. Regardless of which tool you used that caused the issue. You need to go to #windows or contact Microsoft for help recovering your Windows partition
[20:35] <webchat29> leftyfb anyway it wasn't working properly... I couldn't use apt install not update
[20:35] <leftyfb> webchat29: ok, then boot to Ubuntu 20.04 and we can help you with that
[20:35] <webchat29> leftyfb but I used gparted to crash it
[20:35] <leftyfb> webchat29: that does not make it an Ubuntu problem
[20:36] <webchat29> leftyfb gparted comes with ubuntu
[20:36] <leftyfb> webchat29: you do not contact Wilson if you throw one of their baseballs through a Window and need help repairing the broken Window
[20:36] <Maik> webchat29:  "gparted comes with ubuntu" it does not afaik
[20:37] <SantaCoz_> as I recall gparted was not necessary for dual boot,
[20:37] <Maik> at least not by default
[20:37] <leftyfb> webchat29: freel free to inform #windows or Microsoft that you used gparted to initiate the partition modifications, but it is still not a problem with Ubuntu or gparted
[20:37] <leftyfb> Maik: it is part of the live iso
[20:38] <webchat29> hey I was trying to find out whether there were any way to revert the uncompleted move resize operation or even finish it
[20:38] <leftyfb> webchat29: there is not
[20:38] <webchat29> okay
[20:38] <SantaCoz_> webchat29, can you reinstall windows and then run the ubuntu live iso?
[20:38] <webchat29> screwed
[20:38] <SantaCoz_> webchat29, win11?
[20:38] <leftyfb> webchat29: you will need to seek support with recovering your Windows partition from #windows or by contacting Microsoft
[20:38] <webchat29> ok thanks
[20:38] <leftyfb> SantaCoz_: please take it to #windows to discuss further
[20:39] <SantaCoz_> leftyfb, I asked a question not a support option
[20:40] <SantaCoz_> be back
[20:43] <tharkun> Good $DAY in order to run a program on the current LTS I need python3-psutils version 5.7 but the one available is 5.5 How can I solve this isue?
[20:45] <tharkun> !ssbp
[20:45] <oerheks> it still is  python-psutils
[20:45] <oerheks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-psutil/5.5.1-1ubuntu4
[20:46] <oerheks> 5.7 is depreciated, 5.8 is in the next version https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-psutil
[20:46] <oerheks> you should have the latest bugfixes though
[20:46] <neorpheus> is it possible to rename or alias a command? if i wanted to make it so typing "chdir" into a terminal acted like i had typed "cd" is there a way to do that n 20.04?
[20:46] <tharkun> oerheks: Ok so let it be 5.8 what is the procedure to make it run on Ubuntu LTS?
[20:47] <oerheks> tharkun, not. i think it will not be backported?
[20:47] <leftyfb> neorpheus: yes https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-bash-aliases/
[20:47] <oerheks> LTS will not get newer features, just bugreports.
[20:47] <oerheks> and fixes
[20:48] <tharkun> oerheks: Ok, good enough for me. Let me tinker around for a different solution. Thanks for your time and effort.
[20:48] <oerheks> have fun!
[20:49] <ph88^> hey guys ! I swapped my motherboard, now grub is not loading anymore. I am able to boot ubuntu 20.04 from a usb drive. how can i repair the boot from my SSD ?
[20:51] <oerheks> ph88^, is your 'old' install MBR, and is your new mobo using UEFI ?
[20:51] <oerheks> check if you can disable UEFI in the bios..
[20:52] <ph88^> ok thanks oerheks i'll go check those things
[20:52] <neorpheus> well setting "alias chdir="cd"" now makes the "play" button spend more time in the "launching" state before reverting to "play" but still outputs the same to terminal and still does not suceed in launching the game
[20:53] <neorpheus> id just like to say that i understand that this is not strictly an ubuntu issue and i appreciate any help or redirection yall may be able to offer
[20:53] <leftyfb> neorpheus: "play" button? What exactly are you referring to and how does this relate to creating a bash alias?
[20:56] <leftyfb> neorpheus: ah, you're referring to shoe-horning a Windows game onto Ubuntu. Please /join #winehq for support
[20:56] <neorpheus> leftyfb: i am trying to get world of warcraft running under steam+proton. i didnt know where else to turn as there does not appear to be a Warcraft, Steam, or Proton help channel here. I have tried following a few guide ive found online for adding the game to steam but as none of them have worked (including several specific to 20.04) i am here thinking maybe there is something wrong with my ubuntu
[20:56] <neorpheus> install that is preventing these guides from working for me
[20:58] <neorpheus> the issue i was trying to address with the alias is that with steam launched from terminal, when trying to launch the game i get a terminal output of "chdir /home/neorpheus/storage/NewDir/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft 5.4.8/", chdir is not a command my system recognizes but i asssume is equivelent to "cd"
[20:58] <leftyfb> neorpheus: Please /join #winehq for support with running Windows games on Ubuntu
[20:59] <neorpheus> leftyfb: i mean thats good and all but #winehq has nothing to do with steam or proton. im specifically trying to move away from wine as it give absolutely craptastic framerates in several games
[21:00] <leftyfb> neorpheus: ok, then you'll have to contact Steam or Proton for support. This isn't an Ubuntu issue
[21:03] <neorpheus> lol and yall wonder why linux cant get a worthwhile foothold in the pc market. "thats not our problem, talk to a wall" is a great way to build brand loyalty. maybe i should just go back to talking to microsoft, at least its a given that htat community wont help
[21:04] <oerheks> try "chdir /home/neorpheus/storage/NewDir/Program\Files\(x86)/World\of\Warcraft\5.4.8/"
[21:05] <oerheks> the fool that invented spaces in filenames and folders...
[21:09] <neorpheus> oerheks: no dice, with that change i now do not get a line output to terminal and i cant tell if the "play" button is flashing to "launchng" or if its just happening to quickly to notice
[22:08] <Aavar> My lxc VM is running out of space. How can I enlarge it?
[22:19] <leftyfb> Aavar: you might be best served asking in #lxc. Though typing "lxc increase disk size" into google brings up https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/resize-containers-volume/4853 as the first result with what looks like the exact answer you're looking for
[22:22] <Aavar> leftyfb: THank you. That answer is for containers and not VMs, but thank you :) I will ask in #lxc

[23:00] <Rumen> Hi there
[23:00] <Rumen> I got strange problem and can't localize it. Can I get some help?
[23:01] <Rumen> Suddenly the audio start interupt - I changed the audio card and there was the same problem.
[23:02] <Rumen> I made short clip with my phone it is here http://zapryanov.faith/cloud/index.php/s/gLJzMWKYPGwLtZ8
[23:02] <jhutchins> Rumen: Could it be a bad source?
[23:02] <Rumen> No
[23:02] <jhutchins> Rumen: What is the source, and where does it play correctly?
[23:02] <Rumen> All online audio
[23:02] <Rumen> interupts
[23:03] <jhutchins> Rumen: What browser are you using?
[23:03] <Rumen> all browsers checked - Chromium, Brave, Firefox, Cliqz, Chrome and Yandex
[23:04] <Rumen> in dmesg got that :  usb usb1-port2: over-current condition
[23:05] <Rumen> but I changed with other port and card and got same interuption
[23:06] <jhutchins> Sorry, where does USB come into this?  Are you using multiple USB sound cards?
[23:06] <Rumen> now start to interupt also with the local audio files
[23:07] <Rumen> no I use one, but tought the problem is with the audio and changed with other card and got same problem
[23:08] <Rumen> so with 2 different cards same problem - means it is not in the card
[23:08] <jhutchins> That's what I meant.
[23:08] <jhutchins> No audio on the motherboard?
[23:09] <Rumen> there is but the plug is broken and I use USB external audio card
[23:10] <jhutchins> Rumen: Is this something new?  Did it work properly before?
[23:10] <oerheks> reset your router, for weird hickups?
[23:10] <Rumen> Yes
[23:10] <Rumen> Router was restarted few times
[23:11] <jhutchins> Rumen: If it was OK before, the obvious question is 'what changed'?
[23:11] <Rumen> Can't get is that power problem or audio .... hardware or software
[23:12] <jhutchins> Not power.
[23:12] <Rumen> I can't say when exactly appeared but nothing changed .... few programs installed but can't get if any of them caused
[23:13] <jhutchins> What is the exact actual message in dmesg?
[23:15] <Rumen> No idea what exactly to searck as problem there - here is the whole https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JFN6Dd755H/
[23:18] <sarnold> Rumen: I don't know what problem you're trying to solve but I see both vbox modules and nouveau in there; I'm not sure that combination plays well together. try not loading the vbox modules and seeing how things go?
[23:18] <mojtaba> Hello, does anybody know how can I add an app indicator in Gnome top bar? (basically I want to add that indicator based on the existence of a background process.)
[23:19] <leftyfb> mojtaba: https://extensions.gnome.org/
[23:22] <jhutchins> Rumen: Are you running this in a VM?  Are you running a VM at the same time?
[23:23] <Rumen> NO not as VM - normal intalation
[23:23] <Rumen> Vm I don't use at all - have it install, but not running
[23:23] <Rumen> VBox does not run as well.
[23:25] <Rumen> https://i.imgur.com/Fg5SZdK.png  No vbox running
[23:25] <Rumen> It is installed, but not running at mom
[23:27] <oerheks> i see espeak running?
[23:30] <Rumen> I don't see it as running no idea what is espeak
[23:30] <Rumen> can I purge it? Or it is a OS system file?
[23:30] <oerheks> sd_espeaking .. looks like you have something running that is using your soundcard too
[23:30] <Rumen> idea how to remove that?
[23:31] <Rumen> sudo apt purge espeak?
[23:31] <oerheks> what linux version is this?
[23:33] <Rumen> Linux ucc-Precision-WorkStation-T5400 5.11.0-44-generic #48~20.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 14 15:36:44 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[23:36] <ash_worksi> why, regardling `less`, doesn't -S work properly when you use it with -r ?
[23:39] <Rumen> I have try Alt Super S - but interuption still exists
[23:41] <jhutchins> Should be able to stop/disable espeak
[23:44] <Rumen> how to see if it is disabled?
[23:44] <Rumen> There is no any indication
[23:48] <Rumen> I have just purged the espeak
[23:54] <Rumen> but the problem remains
[23:55] <oerheks> no clue then .. must be the livestream, or too many users on your router
[23:59] <Rumen> no other users on my rooter for sure especially at that time 01:58
[23:59] <Rumen> and also from local HDD file interupt as well
[23:59] <ash_worksi> why, regardling `less`, doesn't -S work properly when you use it with -r ?
[23:59] <Rumen> Ufff may fresh install of the whole Linux will fix the issue?
