iamtheworstdevunion rules - mandatory fifteen minute break on the hour, every hour01:05
freetesteri have some trouble with https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/01:05
iamtheworstdevhave you tried #barrier ?01:05
leftyfbiamtheworstdev: please don't say things like that01:05
iamtheworstdevwhich thing01:06
leftyfbfreetester: that said, you'll have to see support from the barrier project01:06
iamtheworstdevper their readme, the support is in #barrier01:06
freetesteryes I logged in, but no one answers. That is why I came here to ask01:08
iamtheworstdevwell, it's IRC.. just stay in the channel and someone will likely respond when they see it01:08
leftyfbfreetester: you'll have to wait. We cannot support 3rd party applications here. You could also try #linux01:08
freetesteri am trying to do this on ubuntu, and you are always very supportive.01:08
iamtheworstdevthey may be in a timezone where they are asleep right now01:09
freetesterOkay, I understand. Can I just ask you if you have had any experience with barriers? I have problems with the authentication of certificates but I see that many have it maybe you had a quick tip01:11

leftyfbspammy: try #ubuntu-offtopic01:23
WickedDekciwHey there. Apologies if it sounds like repeated but it isn't exactly as I've since tried alternative solutions and to no avail. I'm trying to do what should have been a simple task of creating a bootable FreeDOS drive. I've tried UNetbootin, manually copying a raw vhd from the FreeDOS site, manually creating a custom FAT16 partition and adding syslinux data onto it, and Balena Etcher was my last solution. Neither one of them could successfully01:23
WickedDekciwboot. Does anybody have an actually working alternative/01:23
WickedDekciw?01:23
leftyfbWickedDekciw: your issue really has nothing to do with ubuntu.01:24
WickedDekciwleftyfb, Well, I suppose it is a question about _tools_ present within the Ubuntu and finding such ones, so it is related01:25
cbreakWickedDekciw: ubuntu has a startup disk creation tool, which you could try to run01:27
spammyoh, this is the official support channel, my bad, in that case, I'm having an issue with every time my Ubuntu boots up, it defaults to the wrong microphone. Is there a way to default it to the second microphone? I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS with Gnome Desktop on X11.01:28

=== jje__ is now known as jje
cbreakthere are many other tools, like etcher, that you could also try01:28
leftyfbcbreak: I'm pretty sure their issue is with creating a "bootable FreeDOS drive". Technology that hasn't seen the light of day in about 20 years01:29
cbreakspammy: I think I "solved" that by disabling my other "microphone"01:29
cbreakleftyfb: ah... I read that as "FreeBSD".01:30
spammycbreak: so no real "default" per-se, but just disable the one that is taking precedence. I can do that.01:30
cbreakmaybe qemu can do something about freedos... I did get MacOS 9 to run with it01:30
cbreakspammy: well, there probably is a way to do it, I just couldn't find it01:30
cbreakI never had that problem since switching to kde from gnome01:31
spammySince I don't use the first microphone that is okay, I'll explore that, thanks!01:31
cbreak(but I don't remember trying to use the microphone since then either... so who knows...)01:31
spammy(can't unplug it because is is integrated with the webcam)01:32
cbreakfor me, one of the audio outputs is part of my microphone (for live monitoring), and one of the audio inputs is part of my usb DAC, which really isn't a microphone, just misidentified01:33
cbreakbut somewhere in the audio device settings, I was able to fix that by changing the audio profile for each device01:33

webchat53Hi all11:44
wrsuserhey so I just installed ubuntu on a secure boot enabled machine... and on the first boot up (after install) it gave me a blue MOK management screen11:48
wrsuserby the time I'd looked up what I'm meant to be pressing here (which I think I now know) it'd given up asking me what to do and just rebooted again, this time straight into ubuntu11:48
wrsuserpresumably skipping this step means the kernel can't be customised (e.g. by things using DKMS)... so how on earth am I meant to get back to it?11:49
webchat53I have a question is there someone o could help me?12:00

=== Guest30313 is now known as istanbul
cbreakdoesn't sound normal at all12:26
webchat53is there something i could do to stop it?12:27
cbreakdo you have the problem with different audio players? Like VLC, the browser itself?12:28
webchat53with the players and web browser12:29
cbreakdo you have the problem without the web browser?12:29
cbreakor with a different one?12:30
webchat53yes with rhythmbox12:30
cbreakso you get noise always?12:30
cbreakwith different computers / different hardware?12:30
webchat53when i open some web pages12:30
cbreakdo you also get that noise when using firefox instead of chrome?12:31
webchat53yes different hardware12:31
cbreakor chrome instead of firefox?12:31
webchat53yes i use firefox12:31
webchat53but it happens on chroem chromiun to12:31
webchat53chrome12:32
cbreakdo you connect to the internet via a radio or cable?12:32
webchat53cable12:32
cbreakdo you get the problems too if you just download stuff via curl / wget instead of a web browser?12:32
cbreakI wonder if you have some kind of bad cabling, that creates crosstalk with your audio equipment12:33
cbreakor maybe something via the power grid12:33
webchat53its allways happens after a while i install the linux on different hardware and different distros12:33
cbreaksince this isn't something normal, there must be something in your environment that they all have in common.12:34

cbreakI don't know how to do this, but I read that pipewire was the next big thing12:40
cbreakand there's also alsa, in addition to pulse, which is probably what you're using12:40
webchat53on pulse happens and on ubuntu default too12:40
webchat53and alsa i think it is used on fedora and also the same problem12:42
i-garrisonwebchat53: does you sound go via same device (e.g. hdmi audio or something)12:43
webchat53it happens on hdmi graphics card or motherboard audio12:45
i-garrisonwebchat53: there are lots of possible causes, can reproduce these issues with any latest livecd?12:50
webchat53with live install working from usb it never happen12:51
i-garrisonwebchat53: is livecd version more recent than the one you install?12:54
webchat53no the installed version is up to date and it happens on more distributions of linux and with diffrent hardware, a while after install it starts to happen12:55
webchat53on windows 10 or 11 or in BSD it do not happen..12:58
i-garrisonwebchat53: right, your query looks too generic; lots of similar sound issues are fixed with kernel drivers, alsa and audio server updates12:58
i-garrisonyou should be extremely unlucky these days to get noises across the range of hardware; hdmi has known issues but most are tied to either kernel driver problem or hdmi receiving side problem13:00
i-garrisonwebchat53: so maybe pick one combination and file an issue on launchpad to track it down?13:00
webchat53yes, i'm using ubuntu updated, what is launchpad?13:02
i-garrisonwebchat53: it's where bugs about ubuntu are collected13:05
webchat53thanks for the help cbreak i have to go now13:05

transhumanistanyone know how to install Ubuntu on a laptop that was setup with windows, with the security keys enabled, seems it will never boot from the USB drive into the installer for linux. I even wipped out the manufactures security keys, and that ruins the windows install, I then restore these keys and I am stuck with windows asking me for the forgotten password and it wont send me the recovery email for another 24 hours, any way aroun14:58
transhumanistss14:58
transhumanistI want to just wipe it and install Ubuntu14:59
jkctranshumanist: Just turn off secure boot. Wiping the keys don't do anything.14:59
transhumanistso if you turn off secure boot it wil boot from the USB?15:00
jkctranshumanist: Matter of fact, I'd go back in and re-enroll the default keys, or windows will continue to be broken.15:00
transhumanistso its not like there is something wrong with the installer?15:00
transhumanistyes ultimately I would like to do a dual boot setup15:00
transhumanistI will try what you say , but I am pretty sure I did try it already, but I was very tired when I did it so...15:01
jkctranshumanist: Deleting the enrolled keys does NOT turn off secure boot. Windows can get testy about disk encryption when secure boot is disabled, but I think it should be fine.15:05
jkcI would also make sure that there's not another setting present in your UEFI config that's prohibiting USB boot.15:05
transhumanistthanks , I got it, seems that without TPM engadged windows is borked. If I disable it it still doesnt work, however if I enable both legacy and UEFI boot I can get to the USB disk15:10
transhumanistbefore installing ubuntu should I reenable TMP so its not stuck between two operating modes?15:11
ravageUbuntu doesn't care about TPM being enabled15:11
ravageAnd without secure boot you should be able to boot Ubuntu in UEFI Mode too15:12
ravageAs an alternative you can disable UEFI completely and install Ubuntu and then windows in legacy mode15:12
transhumanistI didnt realize that , I thought TPM when set meant that it was used by all operating systems. I thought microsoft had finaly made it accessible by Linux15:14

merpnderpI'm using grep all over the place.15:36
merpnderpthanks shadow25515:36
WickedDekciwHeyo. I'm getting a problem with exfatfsck -a which is supposed to fix an error but it says "errors found: 2, fixed 0", how can that be?15:37
jkctranshumanist: the TPM has nothing to do with booting from USB, nor does it have anything to do with secure boot. As for disabling UEFI, there's no such thing. You can put it into BIOS compatibility mode, but I wouldn't do that.15:41
jkctranshumanist: Leave the TPM enabled, reenroll the default secure boot keys, then turn off secure boot,15:41
shadow255jkc: perhaps it would be better to say that the TPM is only involved with secure boot as the verification means15:42
jkcshadow255: If that were accurate, then perhaps so.15:42
merpnderpHow would I keep this from outputting to stdout in my bash script? `if ! dpkg -l | grep adcli; then`15:42
jkcshadow255: for Windows - which he/she to retain - the TPM generates and stores keys for disk encryption. Disabling that is a bad idea.15:44
=== EriC^ is now known as EriC^^
shadow255jkc: thanks for clarifying - my understanding of secure boot, TPM and such can always be improved :)15:48
Phasemerpnderp: look into redirecting stdout and/or stderr to /dev/null for more info, but the solution is: dpkg -l | grep adcli > /dev/null 2>&115:56
leftyfbmerpnderp: you should really look into something like ansible16:02
merpnderpleftyfb: boss doesn't want to set up ansible.16:03
merpnderpEasier just to write a bash script and then just run it on new servers.16:03

signofzetahi everyone, I powered on my old laptop after (finally) getting repair parts.  it's still on Ubuntu 20.10.  when I try to `apt update` so I can `do-release-upgrade`, it tells me that some repositories no longer have Release files.  how can I get this up to the latest Ubuntu version?17:09
signofzetaI also can't `apt upgrade` because some zfsutils-linux package .deb files aren't found on archive.ubuntu.com (and I have a ZFS root).  not sure if I can just remove those without blowing up the system.17:12
tomreyntranshumanist: this is a support channel - there are other channels if you don't have support questions.17:13
tomreynsignofzeta: since 20.01 has reached end of life, you will need to either reinstall (probably the best option if you don't have a complex backup / restore mechanism) or do a EOL upgrade17:16
tomreyni meant to write "20.10", not "20.01" there.17:17
tomreynEOL upgrading means you'd need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change urls so that they will point to old-releases.ubuntu.com17:17

signofzetadidn't know that existed, thanks!  yeah, it took forever to get repair parts for my laptop... supply chains, you know.17:19

zenofhow can I install packages into a freshly installed ubuntu after the graphical installer has finished it's work, but before the first reboot. so, basically when I chroot into the new system how do I make the iso-image's repository available?20:40
tomreynusing apt-cdrom, i guess20:41
tomreynit'll be easier to do this before the installer finishes, by just spawning a shell. or by downloading packages from th einternet in your chroot20:41
zenofhmm, to use apt-cdrom I would have to mount the cdrom, but I can't since it's already mounted to provide / and whatsoever?20:51
tomreynmaybe it doesn't actually use apt-cdrom for the sources anymore. you could probably tell easily by inspecting the setup you get when running a live / installer system again20:53
zenofokay, but even if apt-cdrom wasn't the tool to go with, still there should be those basic packages be available somewhere in the live-system. when I in the live system run a simple apt install openssh-server this works without any complains and installs the ssh server into the live system21:00
tomreynzenof: i just tested this for you on distrotest.net, using the impish (21.10) installer: https://i.imgur.com/ehj9Kyb.png21:03
tomreynthe longer string the cdrom: source points to will be the iso label, i think21:04
zenofoh, it works! for some reason I could not access the "cdrom" in my chroot env, it didn't show up in my mtab. now, it does.21:08
zenofI guess I somehow unmounted everything befor cp'ing /proc/mounts to it.21:09

tomreynacu: testssl for testing a server configuration. you'll be able to tell whether it's using insecure crypto or configurations which enable person in the middle attacks. but PITM attacks are really attacks against the client more than the server, clients need to use proper crypto and validate certificate chains properly.21:33
tomreynactually testssl.sh is the package name. there are others.21:33
acutomreyn, thanks a bunch - I am installing this right now --21:38
tomreynViperXL75: the     journalctl    command can be used to access and filter logs.     journalctl -b    shows logs since latest boot. type / to search (it uses 'less' as a pager by default). dsm3 is the graphical login manager which wraps around the gnome-shell desktop, that's right. and it will be loaded even with autologin.21:56
tomreynacu: https://badssl.com/dashboard/ and https://clienttest.ssllabs.com:8443/ssltest/viewMyClient.html are client tests, but that's more of a #security topic, i guess21:57
