[00:54] on 21.10 there is no official alacritty package, only a snap that I installed, now it bails out with the error: GLSL 3.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, and 1.00 ES [00:54] anyone encountered this? [00:55] how could i get it work? [00:57] moving to another terminal emulator would mean porting a sizable config to a totally unknown interface, i'd rather avoid it [00:57] mw__: i assume this is a single board computer? [00:58] nope, old laptop [00:58] GLSL is the OpenGL shading language, which is not supported in very old opengl (3d graphics acceleration) hardware and drivers [00:59] nor in some SBCs / ARM / embedded devices [00:59] so chances are it will not run at all [01:00] you would also encounter such messages if your system is not configured to use the most suitable graphics drivers [01:00] it's an old acer laptop, core 2, 10 yearish, intel gpu [01:00] but then the error msg suggests it wants an older version [01:01] what does this say after installing mesa-utils? glxinfo -B | grep celerated [01:04] says no [01:04] hmm, this suggests that the wrong graphics driver is loaded. [01:05] glxgears looks like it has some sort of acceleration tho [01:05] can you share /var/log/gpu-manager.log like so? cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:06] https://termbin.com/kz0r [01:09] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [01:09] can you do that with -knnv [01:10] and show all the lines related to it on a pastebin [01:10] lsmod shows no graphics driver at all, if it even supposed to be there [01:10] i915 should be loaded [01:10] ok, it's there [01:10] grepped for "intel", dumb me [01:12] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kjstQydMpT/ [01:12] i don't really know anything about alacritty, but a terminal which requires graphics acceleration to work seems like a bad design to me. [01:12] *terminal emulator [01:14] so you have two intel graphics chipsets apparently [01:15] can i bother someone to pm me please? [01:15] oneadvent: usually, no. but you can ask an ubuntu support question here, if yo have one. [01:16] tomreyn: sorry, i was testing something. I don't really have a question so much as i want to see if i get pms correctly, lol [01:16] mw__: what does xrandr --listproviders say? [01:17] mw__: oh, possibly nothing, since you're on 21.10, which defaults to xwayland rather than xorg for the graphics server, but try nevertheless [01:17] oneadvent: there's #tests and you can always connect twice and then test yourself [01:17] Provider 0: id: 0x56 cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 3 associated providers: 0 name:ARUBA @ pci:0000:00:01.0 [01:18] if i remember correctly i deliberately chose not to use wayland [01:19] echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE would tell you what you're on [01:19] i have some scripts using xdotool and it probably won't work with them [01:19] hmmm.... [01:19] aw, you mean from the gui [01:19] i have to get there [01:19] right, xdotools would not work with xwayland [01:20] *xdotool [01:21] I have an interesting one: Somewhere along the way in the past year of updates, my sound device (onboard audio, snd-hda-intel with Realek ALC245) stopped working properly. Entering the alsa system settings (KDE, so w/e widget it actually is) I can click "front left" it pipes up "...eft" and clicking on "front right" says "right". Now: If I have [01:21] sound playing, and don't give it more than a half second of silence, it works as intended. Makes watching YT annoying. Any ideas other than having audacity playing a 45khz sine wave on loop? (It offends the dog, y'see) [01:22] yep, i'm on x11 [01:23] It's like the output shuts off. I've disables power saving mode and all that, but it's not crackling, and none of the guides out there cover this one. [01:23] *shuts off and takes a half second to wake back up. [01:26] mw__: so if xorg sees just one provider then that's your proper intel gpu, and the display connected to it. and if acceleration doesn't work then, my bet would be on a bug. but you'd need to share yet more details. if you look for the /usr/lib/gdm3 lines in journalctl -b output, that's the grpahics initialization by gdm3, the graphical display manager ubuntu uses [01:26] maybe there's an initialization error there [01:30] cannibal^: i have a similar issue here (with probably a different chipset, have not checked), but i blame the active speakers, which seem to fall asleep somehow. they recover faster when there is a stronger input signal, i.e. higher volume. [01:31] but i think i've always had this issue, and i'm on 18.04 + HWE kernel, so 5.4.0-91-generic [01:31] there's no matches for "gdm" at all, it inits as ## i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] fb0: i915drmfb frame buffer device [01:32] but that might just be the console at boot [01:32] then what's the graphical login manager you're using? [01:33] is this actually a proper ubuntu? [01:34] oh, it's kubuntu, sddm is the answer, sorry [01:34] tomreyn SDDM, I believe. And as I search, I'm noticing some noise about NVidia proprietary doing bad things with audio [01:34] Hmm, see if this works, BRB [01:38] seemingly i got no specific error messages on startup [01:42] mw__: hmm, sorry, can't help without more details. you could also try #kubuntu [01:43] Oookay, upgrading to nvidia proprietary 495 instead of 470 changes it to "fro.t..ft" and "... Right". [01:43] I've got to wonder if I can't blacklist the nvidia hdmi audio output module. Bet that might do something. [01:46] I *will* check back if I figure this out. [01:46] i forgot, i have another old laptop, with a different intel gpu, it has the exact same issue with 21.10 [01:47] i have 18.04 on my desktop, here alacritty from genuine ubuntu package works just fine [01:47] i guess the next logical step is to try booting it on those [01:55] so, on the newer laptop, alacritty is not the 'genuine ubuntu package'? [01:56] oh you said so on 21.10 there is no official alacritty package, only a snap that I installed [01:57] i'd guess it was dropped for being unsupportable in debian [01:58] hmm, actually there is no "alacritty" package in ubuntu at all [01:58] (no debian package, that is) [02:00] `rmadison -u ubuntu alacritty` seems to indicate it doesn't exist in any supported Ubuntu release. [02:01] There's a couple PPAs that have it. [02:04] and, if i am interpreting the html source of https://snapcraft.io/alacritty right (i really hope i'm not), 100% of ubuntu 20.04 users are using the alacritty snap. [02:04] so i guess that means i better let it go / revert to 18.04 if i really want to use it [02:05] which btw sounds lucrative, i just hate what they did to kde [02:05] https://github.com/tunix/alacritty-snap seems to suggest you should be installing it as a --classic snap [02:05] yes, i had to [02:05] which i assume may be needed to get opengl bindings going [02:05] oh ok [02:06] brr, i really need to switch to a normal irc client [02:07] ctrl+w and xchat, a nightmare, i keep closing windows, and it's not remappable [02:09] Whelp, looks like the dog is going to continue hating my laptop. [02:14] mw__: hexchat won't solve this, but other problems of xchat, such as the no-release-for-11-years one. [02:18] just found this, https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/397 , if i get it right they finally removed it [02:18] Issue 397 in hexchat/hexchat "Allow configuration of ctrl+w keyboard shortcut (close channel)" [Closed] [02:19] but i'd rather move on to weechat on a vps, and enjoy sweet platform independence [02:21] and this is one of the reasons why alacritty feels so important, it's offloading a lot of load to the gpu, runs faster, more responsive, and terminal windows can consume a surprising amount of juice [02:22] but the best part is its nice config for mappings, i dunno if i can get it elsewhere [02:23] like, can rxvt turn ctrl+; into backspace? [02:24] in the last year i became quite seriously enthusiastic about these small but still very comforting tweaks [02:24] i don't want to move my arms anymore :) [02:26] btw does anyone know a bare tty alike for xcape? remapping caps to ctrl/esc makes so much difference.. [02:30] hmm my cinnamon is freezing up a ton lately and I can usually recover it by just hitting the alt+f2 keystroke, typing r, and hitting enter but it takes forever [02:30] not sure how that would update :/ [02:31] I guess I'm up to date? https://imgur.com/a/Rjwviuz [02:33] lsb_release -ds would report your ubuntu version [02:34] package versions can differ by ubuntu version, so that's relevant information. [02:35] well im on 20.04 [02:35] but cinnamon is the only thing that gives giving me issues [02:37] the package versions for cinnamon, cinnamon-core, cinnamon-session are correct then. but it gets, if at all, community support [02:38] you can check package versions on https://packages.ubuntu.com [02:41] yeah i dunnno i changed up the theme maybe that will help :p [04:02] hi everybody [04:07] adattatore agoogle.com [04:07] freetester: what can we help you with? [04:07] sorry 4 italian wrong windows [04:08] hi leftyfb [04:09] i am having some problem on ubuntu installing kde. I don't have the network manager and after this test I decided that I prefer kde to gnome. For example I don't see wifi. Advice on correcting the problem? [04:09] Or being a new installation, should I install kubuntu directly? [04:10] thx [04:10] freetester: if you only plan on using kde and you have a bit of a mess, then maybe installing kubuntu from scratch might be best [04:22] hey everyone. I have a source tree (regal) which builds fine on older versions of Ubuntu, but with 21.10 it can't seem to find dlsym/dlopen_mode. I'm already linking -ldl and google's suggesting -Wl,--no-as-needed,-ldl which seems to have worked for others, but the result is the same here [04:27] leftyfb: its my serious installation of ubuntu, not a lot of confusion, i just try the guide-line from the ubuntu wiki and i had has results some trouble only for the fact that the installation of metapacket kubuntu-full doesnt work [04:29] also I would not want to create confusion by also installing kde packages in addition to those of ubuntu which in the end do the same thing, right? [04:29] i quest cause i would like to learn more [04:35] freetester: i think it's wise to install either kubuntu (kde), or ubuntu (gnome), not both in one installation. [04:35] you can do multiple installations side by side or in VMs if you would like to test more [04:38] yes maybe is better [04:39] what are the most significant differences between ubuntu and kubuntu, in addition to the graphics, the packages also change, or some of them right? is there an updated list of both software packs to consult? [04:40] !flavours [04:40] Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [04:41] that's a high level overview [04:43] freetester: for the list of packages installed by default on each flavour: https://askubuntu.com/questions/588145/check-if-all-default-packages-are-installed-from-the-ubuntu-manifest [04:44] (the given example will no longer work since it refers to version 16.10, which is no longer available on releases.ubuntu.com - but newer versions like 20.04 are) [04:55] any suggestions on how to connect to openvpn connection automatically during boot/login (Single user PC running Ubuntu 20.10 using NetworkManager with vpn credentials present;I know how to connect via Terminal if there is another way like making a script?) [04:56] Also came accross a guide but its old;A question how are gconf files edited-can i just use any text editor as #User [04:56] !20.10 [04:56] Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) was the 33rd release of Ubuntu, support ended July 22nd, 2021. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2021-June/000269.html [04:57] the guide mentions to edit some pages with gconf-editor, but that is obviously very old and im new to this [04:58] edditing config files if thats what they are [04:58] if you really have 20.10, you can either install a newer release or try an unsupported upgrade to a version we can support here [05:00] sorry 21.10 [05:00] lsb_release -ds in a terminal can confirm which ubuntu version you have [05:00] Ubuntu 21.10 [05:01] =( my bad sorry [05:01] 21.10 is supported here. you can just tick the box in the network manager configuration GUI for this openvpn connection to have it started automatically when the network interface it binds to is brought up. [05:05] jehlow: ah, sorry, it's actually the other wa around. once you have the openvpn connection configured, you can then configure the underlying connection (ethernet/wireless...) to automatically start this vpn connection as soon as this underlying interface it brought up. [05:06] https://kifarunix.com/connect-to-vpn-automatically-on-ubuntu-20-04-18-04/ has a walkthrough [05:07] ty i was about to write i cant see that box in any of settings or advanced tabs for the vpn connection in question [05:09] jehlow: but can you reproduce what's described in this how-to? [05:11] i bloody hope so [05:11] tomreyn thanks [05:12] sorry champ im reading with a great deal of interest Thank You very much =) [05:13] :) good luck. [05:18] thanks for that link man [05:19] alguien español? [05:19] spanish [05:20] !es | MrArcher [05:20] MrArcher: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [05:21] no hay nadie en #ubuntu-es [05:21] xD [05:22] and we only speak english here [05:22] im newbie with Ubuntu 21.10 [05:23] tomreyn, still working on it but got the easy method working thanks to you =) [05:23] jehlow: great! [05:24] MrArcher: Do you have an English language support question on Ubuntu 21.10? [05:28] yes! [05:29] i need install shutter but ... [05:29] i cant [05:29] T_T [05:30] MrArcher: try it in a terminal window. is "shutter" the package you are trying to install? then you would run sudo apt update && sudo apt install shutter [05:30] yeah but look.. [05:30] shutter is not available in ubuntu releases after 18.04 LTS [05:31] T_T [05:31] not via apt from default repositories, at least [05:31] so? [05:31] usually, software is removed from ubuntu when it is unmaintained, which means it cannot be safely used. [05:32] flameshot is ugly [05:32] there are other softwares for creating screenshots [05:32] lol [05:32] gneom actually includes this functionality out of the box [05:32] *gnome [05:33] i will search alternatives [05:33] there is also a PPA https://launchpad.net/~shutter/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [05:34] !ppa [05:34] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[05:35] ok i try kazam [05:35] doesn't kazam do video only? [05:35] i need for screenshot [05:35] ah no it does both, sorry [05:35] is my first time on ubuntus! [05:36] sorry my english is bad haha [05:37] I personally use Kazam in my Xubuntu install and I like it very much. it's kinda customizable, you can select a portion of the screen to screenshot, etc [05:42] ok i try with kazam [05:42] thnx! [05:42] you're welcome! [05:43] see u later! [06:56] tomreyn, any thoughts hit a roadblock man =( so close but so far =) https://pastebin.com/SYmeZiDk [07:02] im trying to start a openvpn as a service on ubuntu 21.10 if anyone can see where i went wrong an suggest an edit to what i did(see link please) id really appreciate it [07:28] jehlow https://www.dropbox.com/s/dl/mwirxj3p2cfojgr/openvpn-ubuntu-install.sh [07:31] jehlow: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwirxj3p2cfojgr/openvpn-ubuntu-install.sh?dl=0 [07:34] thank you but i ended up putting the .crt in the ~/etc/openvpn folder and all is working great [07:35] jehlow: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-20-04-lts-set-up-openvpn-server-in-5-minutes/ [07:37] amen stop paying for a free service(if i can be bothered to be well versed in all aspects of server security-I am not) [08:06] Hi there! I've been looking into building a server for NAS and dedicated test server use. Since everything's more or less a hassle for availability, I stumbled upon Dell's tower servers that would be available from my supplier (Dell T40 to Dell T140). Any ideas on whether or not the Linux support for i.e. the RAID controllers etc is good and so [08:06] forth? Should I be okay with a Ubuntu Server or aim for a different distro? [08:08] The Dell server types are Dell EMC PowerEdge T-series and I do have previous experience on setting up my own Linux boxes on various architectures as well as NAS/SAN environments, mostly for soho use [08:11] I know this is half a distro-related question and half a hardware-related question, but I was wondering if there are some O.G. serveradmins around who would have some insight on whether or not I'm investing wisely. I guess I could call the business retailer for the Dell's and inquire them about this, but I'd be interested in hearing your takes if [08:11] you have any experience with the particular series of Dell's servers, especially when it comes to setting up a NAS with RAID over its controller (if it's supported, and how well ... etc.) [08:12] (and also would be inbterested in hearing of any possible setup-related caveats I should be aware of) [08:13] It says in its specs that its RAID controller is "Intel VROC 6.x (software based)" [08:15] oh, dang... should've looked it up myself before asking dumb questions. Found this thread from ClearLinux's forums from last year: https://community.clearlinux.org/t/intel-vroc-support-in-kernel/2759 -- apparently Intel VROC isn't supported at all, idk if that's changed [08:17] wait .. RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) seems to support VROC at least up until 3.x ... [08:17] idk if I'd be better off running software based RAID tho? === blackest_mamba_ is now known as blackest_mamba === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [09:11] a [09:57] just ran "sudo systemctrl status openvpn" and am not sure if my openvpn service is running and the connection is actively working, https://pastebin.com/3y7t68sY [10:03] Do I have voice?

[10:48] <^]_> (cz.* mainly) [10:52] the official repos dont use https so there is no problem with it === alchemist_ is now known as alchemist [11:33] i do "dhclient -v eth0" hoping eth0 will be assigned, but get "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 (xid=0x3ef59d45)" - means fails right? [11:39] weedmic: that looks like a dhcp broadcast [11:42] there should be a response after that in the logs if it gets a response [11:42] (that was badly phrased) [11:51] ducasse: :D [11:53] i think the meaning shone through though :) [12:00] hi again; I can't get pipewire-pulse to work on Ubuntu 21.10, `pactl info` hangs and times out [12:02] `speaker-test -Dpipewire -t wave -c 2` also hangs [12:09] Nixola: just a thought, try #ubuntustudio, they're generally good at audio stuff [12:19] Nixola: you can also use `pacmd info`. [12:27] Hello i have a technical question [12:27] On ubuntu [12:27] go ahead and ask? [12:28] Hey ok calm down, just a sec [12:28] I d like to know if ubuntu is a suitable operating system to wank on shemale porn [12:28] um [12:29] try it out. [12:29] Luna means moon in italian [12:29] it should work. [12:29] i know [12:29] lol [12:29] It s also the name of several shemale pornstars [12:29] :D [12:29] try using a web browser. [12:30] apt install torbrowser-launcher [12:30] or just go to pornhub with firefox [12:30] :p [12:30] Thanks cbreak [12:30] Guest6, keep this channel family friendly, thanks [12:30] but um [12:31] My family is very unfriendly [12:31] I come from a redneck background [12:33] could be worse. Could be Red Hat. [13:12] My text editors (geany and gedit) are freezing whenever I goto Save As after my system has been running for a while. Only rebooting the system will correct the issue. Currently running Kubuntu 21.04. [13:15] <^]_> ravage: thx :) [13:16] grkblood13: sounds like a memory issue. What are your specs? [13:16] grkblood13: also, keep in mind that 21.04 is reaching its EoL very soon. [13:17] mem tot: 7.6G, used: 2.7G, free: 2.4G shared: 445M, buff: 2.6G, available: 4.2G [13:19] grkblood13: were these numbers taken at freeze moments? [13:20] ill run it again in a minute [13:25] no noticeable difference [13:27] apt dist-upgrade isn't showing any distribution upgrades available [13:27] grkblood13: of numbers? Also, does that happen only in those two apps? What if you try to save the same text in LibreOffice Writer. [13:28] w81 [13:28] grkblood13: go to "Software & Updates" > Updates tab and select appropriate option from "Notify me of a new version". [13:28] openoffice works as expected [13:32] KBar, Kubuntu doesnt have that option: https://i.imgur.com/iGiNmON.png [13:33] grkblood13: The app is "Software & Updates", NOT "Software Updater". Kubuntu is Ubuntu. [13:33] Should have the same backbone. [13:35] grkblood13: if you can't find it, launch it from the shell: `software-properties-kde`. [13:36] there should a a cron that checks for new releases and then calls /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk [13:36] does that exist in kubuntu? [13:37] that should be independnt of de [13:37] ravage: Kubuntu is on Qt. So the basename should look like c-n-r-kde or c-n-r-qt [13:38] it works on my barebones install with i3, at least [13:38] sure. i just dont have kubuntu to check it [13:38] But it won't check for newer releases if the options is disabled [13:38] option* [13:38] KBar, that came up, but that exact option isn't available: https://i.imgur.com/VgsSYpx.png [13:39] grkblood13: its the last one in your case [13:39] Normal Releases probably means LTS in KDE terminology. [13:40] And you won't get any notification since 22.04 isn't out yet [13:40] there are 3 opts: Normal, LTS only, never [13:40] hmm [13:41] grkblood13: what if you select LTS, close the window (it should ask you to reload/update), open it again, reselect normal [13:42] ill just go through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ImpishUpgrades/Kubuntu [13:42] what is the actual problem at the moment? how to upgrade or that there is no notification? [13:43] ravage: gedit hangs at save. user is on 21.04. i just warned that its reaching its eol soon [13:43] ravage: they decided to upgrade i guess [13:43] no notification. apparently im running a version thats about to be EOL and my system has never prompted me for an upgrade [13:43] pkexec do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE [13:43] gedit and geany [13:43] should do the upgrade. maybe its fixed in the new release [13:44] maybe you are already on a newer version. could you check it once more? [13:44] ravage, thats working. upgrading now [13:44] ahh [13:44] ok [13:46] the fact that there was no notification is also a problem [13:47] maybe its some screwed up kubuntu thing? [13:47] in any case, worth the attention of the maintainers [13:48] otherwise, people might be stuck on older releases forever === encoder1 is now known as MrCollins [13:52] Hello.I am running Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS [13:53] hi and welcome. please ask your questions [13:53] upgrade is going to take about an hour apparently [13:53] Sorry! I want to map a truenas share and I have edited fstab with smbcredentials. The problem is I keep getting invalid arguement 22 [13:54] I want to have it mapped and a shortcut on the ubuntu desktop. Thank you for any help. Thank you. [13:56] MrCollins: if it's truenas, why not use nfs? much easier to deal with and faster [14:00] ducasse, ok let me give that a shot. If I encode a file using ubuntu and it is copied to the nfs share but I also have the same folder smb shared can win64 pick it up and use that file? (once the nfs work has been done) [14:02] sure, they're different protocols viewing the same fs [14:02] ducasse, thank you. I will now google a howto on mapping the nfs share. [14:03] MrCollins: export the share from truenas, then 'sudo mount host:/share /mountpoint' [14:05] export the share? I have it setup just now. [14:08] then you should be able to just mount it [14:11] mount error(13): Permission denied === MrCollins is now known as MrCollinsGA [14:20] then your server is not allowing that host to mount [14:21] the only check is for client ip [14:21] to mount an nfs share, you need to be root on a machine that uses an IP Address that is whitelisted on the server [14:22] ok [14:25] cbreak, I have that. [14:25] have you tried showmount -e server? [14:25] no I will try it now [14:26] it returns /mnt/xxxxxxx/windowset (everyone) [14:27] and how do you try to mount it? [14:27] learning something new everyday hehe. [14:27] sudo mount //192.168.x.x/mnt/xxxxx/windowset /media/libraries [14:28] that // stuff makes no sense [14:28] yeah you are right lol! :) I make no sense. [14:29] it should be something like sudo mount -t nfs serverip:/mnt/xxxxxxx/windowset /media/libraries [14:29] ok let me try that, thank you. [14:30] thank you cbreak and ducasse [14:30] that worked. Now do I pass that command to fstab? [14:30] so it works each time I boot? [14:30] you might want to make your server more restrictive [14:30] only accept IPs in your local subnet [14:30] ok I will. I will do that now [14:31] if you want this to happen at boot, put it into /etc/fstab [14:31] yes ok! [14:31] https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-mount-an-nfs-share-in-linux/ is something I randomly found on duckduckgo [14:31] it seems plausible [14:31] it shows how to add nfs entries to fstab [14:32] ok cbreak! I will go and read that and bookmark that. TY [14:34] MrCollinsGA: when you put it in your fstab, include 'nofail' in the mount options, so your linux box doesn't hang on boot if the share is unavailable [14:35] I'd also add rw, just for clarity [14:35] (that would be nofail,rw instead of default in fstab) [14:36] ok [14:37] does fstab need sudo? [14:37] you might also want to add '_netdev' so the systemd scripts behave properly [14:37] you need sudo to edit it [14:37] ok [14:38] the mount string I am writing in fstab does it need sudo in front of it [14:38] no [14:39] 'serverip:/mnt/xxxxxxx/windowset /media/libraries nfs rw,nofail,_netdev 0 0' [14:39] MrCollinsGA: ^^ that should work [14:39] MrCollinsGA: fstab is not a file to add mount strings [14:39] ok [14:39] it's a file to add specific fstab syntax formated data [14:39] AH [14:39] the syntax is different from the command line [14:39] it's not a script [14:40] *light bulb* [14:40] you can think of it as a kind of special tab-separated database [14:40] so I can passoptions after the serverip:yadda [14:40] well, whitespace [14:41] 'rw,nofail,_netdev' are mount options [14:42] ok! so on boot, the kernel tells fstab to execute. How does it know to mount if I just have a ip address there [14:42] (ip address and the options as described etc) [14:42] the mount command gets the mount info from fstab [14:42] but I want it to auto mount. where do I tell it to do that [14:43] it does that [14:43] ok sorry im not being smart: what is 'it' [14:43] anything in fstab is automounted unless you mark it noauto [14:43] but how do it know that it's mounting something? [14:43] does* [14:43] the 'mount' command is run as 'mount -a' on boot [14:44] 'mount -a' mounts everything in fstab [14:44] ok so when I boot there is a command to kernel mount -a somewhere there is a file telling boot to do that [14:45] essentially, yes [14:45] ah. [14:45] thank you for clearing that up ducasse [14:45] np [14:45] you can also use systemd mount units, but let's keep it simple [14:46] ok so I will now test my fstab. I will BRB! :) [14:53] 'Morning all [14:54] morning [14:55] MrCollinsGA: so, did it work? [14:55] yes ducasse! it did! thank you and cbreak [14:56] you're welcome [14:56] MrCollinsGA: in case you care, ubuntu uses a management daemon thingie called "systemd" [14:56] huh === M0x9911dd[m] is now known as Hezkore[m] [14:56] I do care! :) [14:56] I think among many of the things is also the execution of mount for mounting fstab [14:56] MrCollinsGA: for setting up a desktop shortcut, you probably want a .desktop file [14:57] yes I would like a desktop shortcut for sure. [14:57] how to make the windows hidden partiton to logical partition on ubuntu === jje_ is now known as jje [14:59] why is the windows partition hidden? [15:01] becuz windows made it that way, theres smth restore i forgot the name [15:03] Aarch64debian, so we are talking about a laptop with a preinstalled windows? Then that should be the recovery partition, you could just delete it and recreate a new one [15:03] it's still just a partition, you should be able to delete it if you don't need it [15:05] idk if i need it, i have xubuntu win 10 now i cant make more partitions [15:06] with your setup you will most likely not recover anyways, but reinstall windows, so you will most likely not need it [15:15]
