| goddard | how can you install kde plasma but keep your gnome and plasma setup completely separate? | 00:38 |
| oerheks | install side-by-side | 00:39 |
| jhutchins | Rumen: That's unusual, but you're welcome to try. | 00:39 |
| goddard | oerheks: don't you find it always has some strange quirks that mess with the system? | 00:40 |
| jhutchins | oerheks: They would share $HOME. | 00:40 |
| jhutchins | goddard: It's not supposed to, they're supposed to be compatible. | 00:40 |
| oerheks | 2 separate linux installs, no clutter, no messing with sddm/gdm | 00:40 |
| sarnold | just unplug one hard drive and plug in the other? :) | 00:41 |
| oerheks | i would not share /home, but i would make a separate partition for common data | 00:41 |
| goddard | :D good suggestions | 00:44 |
| russtifer | here for the first time...now what? | 00:52 |
| oerheks | hi russtifer, do you have an Ubuntu support issue? | 00:58 |
| sarnold | russtifer: welcome :) irc works best if you stay connected for a while -- when people see you disconnect, they'll not bother answering, and quite often people don't see *reconnects* | 01:01 |

| Um3 | Hi all. Is anybody having HTree corruptions with ext4 when activating the large_dir option on 5.x kernels? After reading https://shorturl.at/sCR19 I tried to upgrade to kernel 5.15 and now I'm not able to replicate the bug. However, I still sometimes see errors such as "EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): dx_probe:888: inode #...: block ...: comm rsync: directory leaf block found instead of index block" | 02:37 |
| SamuelMarks | hi | 02:37 |
| SamuelMarks | On Ubuntu but not Debian I'm getting: "/usr/include/string.h:33:10: fatal error: 'stddef.h' file not found". Any ideas? | 02:37 |
| SamuelMarks | LLVM https://github.com/SamuelMarks/type-correct/runs/4583832029?check_suite_focus=true#step:7:104 | 02:37 |
| Um3 | SamuelMarks: I believe you need to install the kernel headers: sudo apt install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 02:41 |
| Um3 | or libgcc-dev | 02:42 |
| Um3 | oh, just saw that you are using clang | 02:43 |
| Um3 | I have that file in the linux-libc-dev package | 02:44 |
| Syzygy | I'm trying to run python code and I would like to > the output to a file, but see it in the console as well. I know there's tee, but that seems to wait until my code has finished until it displays either | 02:55 |
| jkc | Syzygy: try stdbuf. | 03:14 |
| jkc | stdbuf --output=L python3 file.py | tee output.log | 03:15 |
| jkc | That forces output that is line-buffered, so it'll print line by line, even through tee. | 03:16 |
| SamuelMarks | Um3 - yeah I made the change 1 minute before your suggestion 😅 - added libc-dev | 03:28 |
| SamuelMarks | I took a look at what is actually in build-essential | 03:29 |

| GuiToris | hello, I don't know how many of you uses ubuntu virtually, but I don't understand why I have to reboot it every time if I'd like to start ubuntu. If I just start it, it won't boot, I have to wait then restart it again... annoying | 10:12 |
| GuiToris | other OSes don't do this | 10:13 |
| nicoz- | GuiToris what do you use to virtualize? | 10:14 |
| GuiToris | oh, sorry, I didn't mention it, virtualbox | 10:14 |

| GuiToris | I have archlinux and fedora and they don't do this either :/ | 10:15 |

| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 13:52 |
| farkaan | is a swap partition (logical or physical) faster than a swapfile? | 14:04 |
| cbreak | if you care about performance, why use swap at all? | 14:05 |
| farkaan | Well swap is still important because of disk caching | 14:06 |
| farkaan | https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html | 14:06 |
| farkaan | I got 1gb of swap across all my machines for this reason | 14:07 |
| farkaan | But I always use a partition (or lvm) except on ubuntu because swap files are the default | 14:08 |
| cbreak | when I set up my ubuntu system, it created a swap partition | 14:10 |
| cbreak | this seems to be the default, when using zfs root | 14:10 |
| cbreak | (because having swap files on a zfs dataset would be very dumb) | 14:10 |
| farkaan | I dunno, I haven't installed in a long time | 14:11 |
| farkaan | But i do have a swapfile | 14:11 |
| farkaan | And not a partition on ubuntu budgie 20.04 | 14:11 |
| farkaan | On serverfault there's some old discussion from 2011 that primarily talks about kernel version 2.6 so I'm not sure if it's applicable anymore | 14:14 |
| jkc | farkaan: There is no functional difference between a swap file and a swap partition. They're directly mapped to disk locations in both cases. | 14:18 |
| farkaan | Yeah that's what I figured | 14:18 |
| jkc | cbreak: a swap file can in many cases improve performance, not hinder it. The performance problem comes in when people act like swap is extra ram, which it isn't. | 14:19 |
| farkaan | `swapon` will refuse to work with a sparse file so it's a non issue | 14:19 |
| farkaan | Swapping to a SSD is even better and doesn't 'kill' the disk | 14:19 |
| farkaan | jkc: People see used up swap even at <60% memory usage and assume that their system is running at subpar performance because it's using the disk as RAM which isn't exactly the case | 14:20 |
| farkaan | Swap only causes problems when you go OOM (thrashing) | 14:22 |
| Maik | cbreak: ubuntu, since 18.04, creates a swapfile not a swap partition | 14:23 |
| farkaan | huh so that's why | 14:23 |
| jkc | I prefer swap files. Way easier to manage. As long as, of course, its configured properly for the underlying filesystem. | 14:24 |
| cbreak | Maik: not with zfs | 14:30 |
| cbreak | at least not with 20.10, which is what I installed with (I think... could have been 21.04) | 14:31 |
| cbreak | I still have remnant swap partitions from then, which I since stopped using | 14:32 |
| Maik | i see | 14:33 |
| cbreak | (since I use encryption, and the swap partition seem to be used without any indication of encryption, although it can very well be that linux itself encrypts the data before swapping it out) | 14:33 |
| jkc | cbreak: Most likely, its a logical volume, and the physical volume that provides storage for the volume group is encrypted. | 14:34 |
| cbreak | that's not how it looked like in userland. It was just a partition directly visible / used via swapon / fstab | 14:36 |
| cbreak | what I was hoping for was that linux itself just encrypts the data before swapping, transparently, without relying on something like lvm / dm-crypt / luks | 14:38 |
| cbreak | but I'm not that experienced with linux, so I don't know if it does that. Ubuntu's old default setup doesn't set up any encryption I can spot. | 14:39 |
| impermanence | I have snap running amazon-ssm-agent (which is never used really) and the /dev/loop partitions related to it are full and only like 50MB and alerting. Is there a way I can safely purge these? | 14:44 |
| leftyfb | impermanence: define "alerting". The snap mounts are supposed to be at 100% at all times. There is no problem other than your alerting on something that shouldn't be monitored | 14:47 |
| impermanence | leftyfb: ha, okay. alerting in datadog. | 14:48 |
| leftyfb | impermanence: configure it to ignore loop mounts | 14:48 |
| impermanence | yeppers. thanks. would not have known the 100% thing! | 14:48 |
| leftyfb | impermanence: more accurately, loop mounts that are squashfs | 14:49 |
| impermanence | ah, okay. | 15:00 |
| impermanence | what does that mean though? | 15:00 |

| hejux | we have systemd-networkd and networkmanager, tell me, why the heck do we need netplan? wtf is this piece of sh**y | 15:38 |
| hejux | it took me 1 hour to figure out WHO configured my ethernet dhcp | 15:39 |
| prawat | Hi All, I want to assemble the custom iso image with all my deb packages and some customization in the installation process(configurator). I know preceed and autoinstall way for making iso installation hand free. but I am looking for a way to build iso from scratch. Could anyone please share some idea how I can achieve this? | 15:42 |
| hejux | prawat: install ubuntu to a VM, install needed software, configure the all the needed shit. tar the whole '/' , untar to a new server | 15:46 |
| hejux | much better than ISO. | 15:48 |
| hejux | you can then use any ISO... to boot and extract your tarball with TAR to the new hardware... you can have some startup services to do some init job. | 15:49 |
| hejux | not wat you're looking for, but just a suggestion | 15:50 |
| Auprivave2 | any hackers here? | 15:54 |
| jkc | Auprivave2: That's not a great way to start. Might want to just ask your question. | 15:56 |
| Auprivave2 | jkc: sorry. see what you mean :D well.. library computers running Ubuntu 16.04. Wifi is on for no reason, and ethernet cable exposed. I have terminal access. home folder gets overwritten after each login. If there a way in? | 15:58 |
| jkc | So you're asking for help in breaking into a system that you don't own. | 15:58 |
| Auprivave2 | There is a bit hole behind the computer where the ethernet cable (that is not locked in place) goes down. | 15:58 |
| Auprivave2 | im asking for help to figure out is its possible. so intentions are to help. | 15:59 |
| jkc | Intentions don't make it unethical. | 15:59 |
| jkc | That's a double negative. | 15:59 |
| Auprivave2 | jkc: :D | 16:00 |
| jkc | Intentions don't make the activity ethical. | 16:00 |
| jkc | You're trying to break into a system you don't own. Even if you want to help, it's unethical and may even be illegal depending on where you are. | 16:00 |
| Auprivave2 | jkc: last time these machines got hacked, private people lost millions in total. Management wont lift a finger before its either way too late, or the press is on to them. | 16:00 |
| jkc | My answer is not going to change no matter how to try to rationalize it. | 16:01 |
| jkc | s/how to try/how you try/ | 16:01 |
| jkc | I cannot type today. | 16:01 |
| Auprivave2 | that can evolve into an entire new language | 16:02 |
| jkc | Also, I don't believe you. "library computers" don't handle millions of dollars. | 16:02 |
| jkc | So you need to reconsider how you're trying to address the issue. | 16:02 |
| Auprivave2 | jkc: scandal was very real. keyloggers planted at libraries. | 16:02 |

| hejux | prawat: do not use UBUNTU as server | 16:09 |
| jkc | prawat: Ignore that advice entirely. | 16:10 |
| jkc | Ubuntu is a great server platform. | 16:10 |
| hejux | if you are from CentOS, then, go direct to Almalinux | 16:10 |
| jkc | hejux: Or let people make their own platform decisions. And I'm #almalinux staff. | 16:11 |
| hejux | prawat: with one command, your centOS can be switched to Almalinux | 16:11 |
| hejux | jkc: i don't think he knows Alma. | 16:12 |
| hejux | so, i basically opened a door to him | 16:12 |
| jkc | hejux: Seriously, ubuntu is a really good server platform. Going into #ubuntu to try to chase people away from Ubuntu to Alma doesn't make Alma look good as a community. | 16:13 |
| prawat | @hejux : I can't move to Almalinux, decision has been made for ubuntu.... also all the rpms are converted in deb | 16:13 |
| jkc | Alma is a great option, obviously, but its not the answer for everyone or every use case. | 16:13 |
| prawat | I need to just incorprate those deb packages to the ubuntu server | 16:14 |
| hejux | jkc: well, he mentioned CentOS, therefor i suggest Alma. that's all. | 16:14 |
| jkc | NO option is the answer for everyone or every use case. | 16:14 |
| prawat | I was trying this https://github.com/mvallim/live-custom-ubuntu-from-scratch | 16:14 |
| prawat | but didn't get success | 16:15 |
| jkc | hejux: He actually said that everything needed to move to Ubuntu. And you joined this channel and immediately started complaining about netplan - which is also a great tool. | 16:15 |
| jkc | hejux: So I don't know what you're really trying to achieve here except for being inflammatory. | 16:16 |
| hejux | jkc: a great tool? it is a ..., it does nothing but pass the parameters to systemd-networkd or networkmanager | 16:17 |
| jkc | And? | 16:17 |
| jkc | It's a great tool. | 16:17 |
| jkc | cat isn't exactly complex, but its also very helpful. | 16:17 |
| hejux | a great tool of what? the expreriece on netplan stays on ubuntu. it is useless if you use REDHAT or DEBIAN | 16:18 |
| jkc | A great tool to do literally what it says on the tin. And you're kind of wrong, here. https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/netplan.io Arch also has netplan. | 16:19 |
| jkc | Building netplan for RHEL-alikes is easy, they have an RPM spec for it. | 16:20 |
| hejux | jkc: so, you spend hours, days, to learn the syntax of netplan, and then it only works on ubuntu... while i spend days hours on systemd-networkd, it works everywhere... | 16:20 |
| Maik | if you don't have any further ubuntu support questions and just want to discuss thing then please join #ubuntu-discuss hejux | 16:20 |
| jkc | hejux: Takes about two minutes to figure out netplan. | 16:20 |
| jkc | hejux: And it greatly simplifies a lot of the more complicated networkd setups. if all you want to do here is start arguments, you're starting with bad intentions and doing a bad job. | 16:21 |
| jkc | And, for me, netplan works everywhere. :) | 16:21 |
| jkc | hejux: A lack of expertise on your part doesn't translate to a tool being a bad tool. | 16:21 |
| hejux | yeah, i have to agree that i did not know netplan before i search google 'how to configure network on ubuntu' | 16:22 |

| rfm | rwinner, this goes back to May when a bad version of libc6 (2.31-0ubuntu9.2) was released and then backed out. see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1926918 | 20:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1926918 in glibc (Ubuntu) "cannot install libc6-dev, requires old libc6 version" [Undecided, In Progress] | 20:14 |

| i7ch | hey guys. anyone here on 20.04 (5.11.0-43-generic) having issues with suspend to ram? issues, as in suspend not working at all? | 20:46 |
| rfm | i7ch, assuming you're asking because you are having such problems, the first thing I'd do is check for a BIOS update for the system | 20:55 |
| i7ch | @rfm: I did that. updating to latest stable BIOS version did not solve the issue. | 20:56 |
| i7ch | also, I triple check that s2m is enabled in BIOS. also checked kernel has the correct config (CONFIG_SUSPEND=y) | 20:57 |
| i7ch | *s2r | 20:57 |
| rfm | i7ch, check syslog for messages around the suspend attempt. | 20:58 |
| rfm | i7ch, it may be a particular device not suspending right, unfortunately tracking that down would involve disconnecting and disabling as much as you can, and see if that helps | 21:00 |
| i7ch | did that too. nothing relevant. i only get 4 lines of logs, all relating to ether link down / link up | 21:00 |
| jkc | ayla: If it's trying to install snapd, then its not unrelated. Not sure how it would be related, since I don't know what package you're working with. | 21:00 |
| rfm | i7ch, one problem being is the most likely suspect is the display adapter which is kinda hard to disable (unless it's a desktop and you have a different one around to swap in) | 21:01 |
| i7ch | yeah, that would be hard to do as I don't have another GPU | 21:02 |
| rfm | i7ch, is it nVidia by any chance? Lots of people seem to be having trouble with those lately. | 21:04 |
| rfm | i7ch, has suspend ever worked on this system, and only stopped working fairly recently? | 21:05 |
| i7ch | @rfm: yes, yes it is. now .. that you mention it, this starting happening after some nvidia proprietary driver update ... | 21:05 |
| ayla | jkc: chromium for example. apt install chromium installs a snap. | 21:06 |
| i7ch | yes, it worked fine for as long as I remember. also, works from window 10 which kinda tells me that is somehow related to my linux / kerner and not BIOS / hw issues | 21:07 |
| jkc | ayla: I knew that was going to be the example. Due to INFAMOUS difficulties packaging Chrome in such a way that allows for timely updates, Ubuntu is migrating Chrome to the snap version. | 21:07 |
| jkc | So when you try to install chromium-browser, it directs to a snap install. | 21:07 |

| jkc | ayla: In this case, timely updates includes security updates. | 21:08 |
| === ahorner is now known as Pokey | ||
| rfm | i7ch, I suppose you could try downgrading the driver, or even swapping to nouveau to see if it changes | 21:08 |
| i7ch | yup. Imma try just that. this is driving me nuts already. though using nouveau is not really an option long term :( | 21:10 |
| i7ch | @rfm: thank you for the assistance o/ | 21:10 |
| === thegodsquirrel is now known as theSantasquirrel | ||
| i7ch | @rfm: well, apparently the issue fixed "itself" as magically as it appeared. switch to nouveau driver (was not working) but switching back to nvidia-470 (closed source) and now it just frackin' works | 21:28 |
| rfm | i7ch, it's possible reinstalling the -470 forced it to re-update the firmware on the card or some such (i.e. the original install failed silently) | 21:29 |
| rfm | i7ch, but at least we figured out what spot to kick it... | 21:30 |
| i7ch | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 21:30 |

| EriC^^ | correct, you want it read+execute by all | 22:03 |
| jkc | bobdobbs: owned by root:root (user:group), with rwx for root, rx for group, rx for others. | 22:03 |
| bobdobbs | thanks | 22:04 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 22:04 |
| bobdobbs | I've been using linux since forever. But some of the basics still trip me up | 22:04 |
| derek_ | hello | 22:12 |
| derek_ | im trying to save an .img of an sd card the sdcard is 57.7 GB i use the following command "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/backup.img" and ive tried "bs=1024" and "bs=1M" and a few other variations of bs. DD starts writing the image and i can see the sd card reader working. but after a few minutes the "working" light on the sd card reader just goes solid red and my computer becomes non responsive. the only way to "un-freeze" my computer is | 22:17 |
| derek_ | by pulling the card reader out and hitting the hardware reset button. Im using a desktop computer with ubuntu 20.04. the image does write..... but the resulting .img is only 20.7 gb everytime. ive tried 11 different sd cards and two different card readers | 22:17 |
| jkc | derek_: Is there an underlying reason to why you're trying to back up the SD card via an image like that? | 22:22 |
| derek_ | jkc: its a micro sd card used in a pi. i spend a few dozen hours setting up the os on the pi and i wanted to make a backup | 22:23 |
| jhutchins | derek_: Sounds like you have a corrupt SD. | 22:23 |
| derek_ | i thought that too | 22:23 |
| derek_ | but it does the same on a brand new sd card. i tried many | 22:23 |
| derek_ | jkc : if theres a better way to do sd card backups id love to know | 22:24 |
| jkc | I don't treat my RPis any differently than I treat other systems. I back up the system from within the system using a proper backup utility, e.g. borg. | 22:25 |
| derek_ | its not running raspian | 22:26 |
| derek_ | its running retropie on a handheld | 22:26 |
| derek_ | im giving several out to friends and family for christmas | 22:26 |
| derek_ | and id like to have a backup on my computer so when they break things | 22:27 |
| derek_ | when i search "backup an sd card in ubuntu" almost every page i find refers to dd | 22:28 |
| jkc | I just rsync everything in /home/pi to backup storage. | 22:29 |
| derek_ | but that doesnt save all of my configuration and partition data | 22:30 |
| jkc | Suggest you actually look in /home/pi. Second, partition data doesn't matter. Image new SD card with RetroPie, rsync /home/pi back, restart. | 22:32 |
| derek_ | what am i looking for? | 22:33 |
| oerheks | i would use sudo dd bs=4M if=~/backup.img of=/dev/sdb && sync # but your command should be oke | 22:37 |
| sarnold | are we writing to or reading from the sd card? | 22:38 |
| derek_ | we are reading from the sd card and writing the image to my ssd on my desktop | 22:39 |
| jhutchins | derek_: How long have you left the system in the "locked" condition? | 22:52 |
| === MrC is now known as MrChristmas | ||
| derek_ | i watched it work until it "locked" and then left the house for 5 hours this morning. it was locked when i came back (64gb ram intel I5 6 core processor at 2.6ghz per core | 22:56 |
| derek_ | it was locked when i came home exactly where i left it | 22:56 |
| derek_ | also it should be noted that etcher and the raspian sd card flasher both work great, but niether have a backup option | 22:57 |
| sem | hey I installed lubuntu on an old pc and I am having some crashes. I think I found the relevant part of syslog (only place I know to look), can you take a look? https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/gHhsfRbRPY/ | 23:22 |
| ravage | make sure its not a hardware defect first. change cables, try another drive if possible | 23:29 |
| sem | it only started happening after I changed the CPU | 23:30 |
| skitto | Ubuntu 18.04 low-latencyMusic production computer Crashed when peripheral was unplugged hot, an | 23:30 |
| skitto | &now hangs forever, booting | 23:30 |
| ravage | so it is totally possible that you messed up some cables doing that | 23:30 |
| skitto | Perdon me | 23:31 |
| sarnold | I wonder, there's a 2007 bios date in there.. just how old was the old cpu? I wodner if a cpu that old could enforce NX permissions or not | 23:31 |
| sem | It is from 2007: AMD Athlon64 X2 | 23:32 |
| sem | the "new" cpu is just the faster clockspeed version because the old one was getting really slow | 23:33 |
| sem | pretty good that lubuntu is pretty snappy on this :) just would be nice if it didn't crash | 23:33 |
| sarnold | ah, some random benchmarking website said it has an NX bit. well, that makes sense, these logs also say that :) | 23:35 |
| sem | there was a thing in the dmesg that said that if timing was an issue there was something you could do | 23:36 |
| sem | let me look | 23:36 |
| sem | >Nvidia board detected. Ignoring ACPI timer override. If you got timer trouble try acpi_use_timer_override | 23:36 |
| sem | Is that related? | 23:37 |
| sarnold | well ... I wouldn't think so, but I otherwise don't have any suggestions :( | 23:37 |
| ravage | sem: "kernel tried to execute NX-protected page " also should not happen | 23:37 |
| ravage | can you try to disable NX protection in your BIOS and see if the problem still exists? maybe there is a BIOS update? | 23:38 |
| sarnold | sem: did you perchance swap video cards while you were at it? the faulting process here is xorg, and nouveau_connector_detect is the function that failed.. | 23:40 |
| sem | i'll take a look in the bios. Not sure that I've seen a setting like that; also ePoX went out of business, hopefully I can find any bios updates | 23:40 |
| sarnold | sem: or maybe the cable was replaced? that's a long shot.. | 23:40 |
| sem | sarnold, i did not swap video cards, but I did at one point try the proprietary drivers | 23:40 |
| sem | i'm using nouveau again, which seems to be better | 23:41 |
