phillhockingoh hi, is there a super special trick to installing k8s on focal? i keep getting E: The repository 'https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/dists kubernetes-xennial Release' does not have a Release file.05:53
phillhockingthis is after following the advice in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53068337/unable-to-add-kubernetes-bionic-main-ubuntu-18-04-to-apt-repository05:54
phillhockingi even added `dists` to the end, and i can see the Release file05:55
oerheksxennial is a typo05:55
phillhockingoh shit05:55
phillhockinglol05:55
oerheksand xenial is EOL, dead Jim05:55
oerheksand that lone'curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key add' is also old ..05:56
phillhockingholy wow fam, i love you05:57
phillhockingi know xenial is eol, but there isn't a focal05:57
phillhockingyou would think the CNCF and canonical could figure that one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯05:58

maxzorHello, how do debian packages end up in ubuntu archives? I cannot find a read about the downstream pipeline.07:00
JackFrostBasically stuff is uploaded to Debian unstable, then Ubuntu archive has an autosync tool that pulls it into the development release (proposed pocket) and rebuilds it, if all tests pass it gets out of proposed.07:05
maxzorfound this which is a beginning https://askubuntu.com/questions/104287/how-is-ubuntu-more-updated-than-debian07:05
maxzorJackFrost, thank you07:06
JackFrostThere's also an autosync blacklist, and if 'ubuntu' is in the version string, it won't be autosync'd over.07:06
maxzorso it's a matter of days/weeks before an upload to unstable in debian and a user being able to check the package out on ubuntu unstable?07:07
JackFrostHours/a day.07:07
ravagethere is a sync freeze from unstable before every release07:09
ravageafter that no new packages will be added. you can check the current dev version (jammy) to see what is being synced07:10
maxzorjammy freezes february 24th? 😱07:12
ravagesounds about right07:12
maxzorwill never have rocm in stable by then, so it will miss blender 3.1 :<07:12
maxzorguess we'll make links to tutorials for installing unstable packages07:13
ravagehttps://snapcraft.io/blender *cough*07:13
maxzordo you have cycles working in this snap? would be shocked07:14
ravagei have no idea. i googled it07:14
ns12Hi, I noticed that the cmucl package has been available in the Debian repository for years (https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/cmucl), but cmucl is not available from the Ubuntu repositories. Is this normal?07:55
tomreynns12: current ubuntu releases do not support i38608:02
tomreyn(or just partially)08:04
ns12tomreyn: I see. CMUCL does not support 64-bit https://cmucl.org/projects.html08:05
tomreynns12: otherwise debian would probably have built it, too. ;-) other common lisp implementations exist in ubuntu, though, such as clisp08:09
ns12tomreyn: Thanks. I guess I'll use SBCL, which started as a fork of CMUCL.08:25

WickedDekciwHey there folks. Wondering if there exists a way to just copy used space from a drive without restoring to dd it full of zeros and compress it back? It is the most popular solution I could find but that seems horribly inefficient09:39
WickedDekciwbecause that would be just crazy09:43

Ashubrryubuntu-bug xorg The screen keeps flickering or going black. Adjusting the screen brightness to below the half mark and setting it to Clear Blue Sky makes the OS stable but is hard to see. Sometimes it flickers. And I cannot save a file to /sys/class/backlight to make it set the brightness on boot.09:49

ducasseWickedDekciw: i tink ddrescue skips empty space09:52
ducasseclonezilla too09:52
Ashubrryanyone else having the screen flickering problem?09:54
WickedDekciwducasse, ddrescue wouldn't skip empty space because it is used for recovery purposes. I do not have much interest for this particular device anyway to have a complete image of a disk where only less than 10percent has been used.09:55
WickedDekciwAlthough it being an older system I thought was actually dead, testdisk does show multiple partitions that were not previously there which is remarkably weird09:55

weedmicWork has a brother ql-700 label printer - It is working fine and I'm using OO, but...  Is there an equivalent to "P-touch Editor" which can automatically insert changing bar codes and slice the label, etc. for linux?10:03

Assidi dont even get the option of "fingerprint login"10:03
oerheksunless your device is not supported10:03
guivercAssid, makers of fingerprint hardware tend to be secretative about using the fingerprint devices; so open source code is more difficult than closed source10:03

oerheksnot even possible in windows, AFAIK, add a layout and just switch layout10:41
oerheksif you find a solution, let me know10:41
WickedDekciwI suppose "multi-language" isn't the best term? I did in fact mean a keyboard with multiple languages printed on it, which I actually solved a few moments after the question (LOL) by configuring the input method properly.10:43
WickedDekciwThe real issue was simply that the new shortcut is Super+Space and not the Windows equivalent10:45
WickedDekciwHence why it wasn't doing anything10:45
weedmicWickedDekciw: I am reading your texts, but know how to do that for arabic russian and hebrew11:02
WickedDekciwweedmic, Bit confused here, is that phrased as a question? If so, just open settings, region and language, and add an input method from "other11:03
weedmicI use kde, but you should have similar options in your DE.  in "system settings", you need to set input>keyboard>layouts11:05
WickedDekciwOh, I thought _you_ were asking for it. I've already managed to fix the issue, but I do appreciate the added input.11:06
weedmicif you have ltr and rtl you need to also add "lyx" as a varient11:06

DocMorsHi, I experienced some odd behavior when trying to dd in image onto an SD card. I did what do for donkeys years "dd if=someimage of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync" in the past that worked with no problems. This time I bricked 2 SD cards before I tried an imager app. That worked well. Now has there anything been the way this DD command is being executed?11:11

leftyfbdecimalpig1980: if you buy an XPS with Ubuntu preloaded, everything will work23:09
decimalpig1980I know and am glad that is the case, haha, but what if I need to reinstall/upgrade OS subsequently?23:09
leftyfbdecimalpig1980: then reinstall ubuntu. Then login to Dell's support site for information on any of their custom software or drivers. You can also contact their support for help with this23:10
decimalpig1980gotcha.  i've had great experiences w Ubuntu and other distros on desktops/RPis/etc, but this 2-in-1 was not an easy experience.  is it the case that 2-in-1's touch screens, etc. are kind of "exotic hardware" so it's less likely Ubuntu will just work on first install?23:14
oerheksfocal seems supported, http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/dists/23:16
leftyfbdecimalpig1980: I personally don't care for touchscreens on laptops. I prefer them on phones or tables.23:17
semhey everyone, just want to thank you for encouraging me to put everything on the SSD and not trying to mix and match. The system is a lot faster than when it was on HDD23:19
WickedDekciwHello! Wondering as to how to force remapping of bad sectors and refreshing the whole disk onto a new filesystem when fsck does nothing23:20
WickedDekciwbecause the filesystem is corrupted and I want to erase it all anyway23:20
leftyfbWickedDekciw: buy a new storage device23:20
WickedDekciwleftyfb, I probably will, just looking for a temporary holdover if possible23:21
WickedDekciwbecause fsck and e2fsck are no dice23:22
leftyfbWickedDekciw: then it's faulty hardware. Replace it.23:23
oerhekssudo e2fsck -fccky /dev/sdXX  .. if e2fsck is no dice, sorry, replace it https://askubuntu.com/a/127803823:23
oerheksi guess the first sectors of the drive are damaged beyond repair. no table, no drive23:24
decimalpig1980I agree re touchscreens... can count on one hand the number of times i used it over 4yrs...  oerheks, thx for link. is that Dell version/updates created by Dell folks?  If I have XPS DE, should it be configured to update/download from Dell-specific repos?23:24
WickedDekciwoerheks, doesn't work normally because fs table is corrupted and I don't want to dd zeros onto a new etx4 fs to not damage it further ya know23:25
oerheksdecimalpig1980, i have no guide howto add the repo, and dell has no channel on #libera23:27
oerheksWickedDekciw, well, you have got your answer23:28
jhutchins!badblocks23:28
oerheksand.. bad block tend to grow23:29
jhutchinsoerheks: If bad blocks are growing, order replacement disc NOW!!!23:29
decimalpig1980oerheks: got it.  is there a channel for hardware/drivers in general?23:33
oerheks#hardware23:33
decimalpig1980awesome.  thx for the help!23:34
=== Agent is now known as puppet-agent
WickedDekciwoerheks, I know. Thing is, even with 480+ ata errors the disk passed an extended smart test sector by sector so I still have some confidence23:56
