ubottuThe core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)01:01
TaZeRi heard ubuntu is moving to the windows kernel, is this true?02:13
JackFrost...Windows kernel?02:17
JackFrostUbuntu uses Linux, because it's a linux distro.  WSL offers Ubuntu though.02:17
rwinnerYes I heard that too. Supposedly they're also bringing back the BSOD, to be renamed the USOG, the Ubuntu Screen of Gloom.02:25

Nobremcould anyone please help me?02:55
NobremI have a command that works,  but it shouldn't work02:55
Nobremthe fact that it works goes back more to trial an error,  rather than anything else02:55
Nobremhttps://dpaste.org/5vJP02:55
Nobremthe video is sped up 15x  (time lapse) so that's why the CONST value is 240 rather than 360002:56
Nobrem3600 / 15 = 24002:56
Nobremso, the "hour" timestamp should change once every 4 minutes02:56

ubottudman777: Netplan is a network configuration abstraction renderer which uses YAML descriptions of a network to work with either a NetworkManager or Systemd-networkd "renderer". More information at https://netplan.io/03:12
leftyfbdman777: why would you want 255.255.255.255?03:13
dman777leftyfb: that is what worked on my old system. what is wrong with 255.255.255.255?03:13
leftyfbdman777: that is the netmask for a network with exactly 1 usable ip address03:14
leftyfbdman777: if you have no intention of communicating with anything else on your network, I guess that's fine03:14
leftyfbdman777: what version of ubuntu is this that you have netplan and ifconfig?03:15
dman777leftyfb: 20.04 server edition03:15

MrCollinsGAcan you change it to 255.x.x.0 or /2403:29
dman777+103:29
leftyfbdman777: a /32 or 255.255.255.255 means 1 ip on the entire network not communicating with anything else. I don't see any case where you'd want that03:29

MrCollinsGAthanks. what I discovered is I have to get into using 'melt' and I can do command line stuff. Your link above was awesomely helpful. I have been at this all day! :)03:38
MrCollinsGAterminal encoding instead of 'stuff' lol03:38
dman777leftyfb: ok, just rebooted and same data03:39
MrCollinsGAleftyfb, so I figure I setup sync to auto copy the files to the machines, still trying to work out the flow :)03:39
leftyfbdman777: add "dhcp4: false" to your netplan config03:39
leftyfbdman777: also, be sure that your static ip you set isn't in the range of ip's your DHCP server(router) is giving out03:40
dman777leftyfb: dhcp4 doesn't exist at all in my netplan config03:40
leftyfbdman777: right, add it03:40
dman777leftyfb: it's the same one from my gentoo03:40
dman777leftyfb: reboot? or is apply enough?03:44
leftyfbdman777: I would reboot03:44
MrCollinsGADo you have a link light on your nic card? maybe you have a sketchy cable and you accidently bumped it? :)03:45
dman777naw, works in my gentoo sys on same pc03:46
leftyfbMrCollinsGA: we already checked that with the operstate03:46
MrCollinsGAk03:47
dman777after reboot still no success03:48
leftyfbdman777: something isn't right. Something simple03:49
leftyfbdman777: ip a   # do you still see 255.255.255.255?03:49
dman777leftyfb: yes, I see brd 192.168.3.25503:51
dman777leftyfb: but ifconfig shows 255.255.255.003:51
leftyfbbrd?03:51
dman777for netmsk03:51
leftyfboh, rght03:52
leftyfbdman777: ok, that's your broadcast, that's fine03:52
leftyfbdman777: is the ip of your machine the same as your gateway besides the last octet?03:53
dman777yes03:54
leftyfbcan you ping your own ip?03:54
leftyfbdo you have a firewall installed and rules applied?03:54
dman777yes, I can ping my own ip. I uninstalled ufw and I have iptables disabled03:55
dman777I also did a iptables -f03:55
dman777-F03:55
leftyfbdman777: ip route03:56
leftyfbdman777: how many listings are there and do you see your gateway as the default?03:56
dman777sorry, let me reboot...tried something that did not work04:01
dman777leftyfb: default via 192.168.xx.xx dev enp37s0 proto static; 192.168.xx.0/24 dev enp37s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.xx.xx04:04
leftyfbdman777: if your default route matches your gateway, then everything looks fine04:06
leftyfbsomething aint right04:06
leftyfbdman777: make a copy of the netplan file, put it all back to DHCP, reboot into a DHCP ip and compare the ip and gateway and netmask and such04:06
dman777leftyfb: oh wow.... I assigned the ipaddress from the router to my pc using the mac address. then with this config https://dpaste.org/XM0o I got it working with the static ip address...despite having dhcpd being set to yes04:23
leftyfbcompare your "ip a" and "ip route" outputs to what you had before04:24
leftyfband yes, having your machine set to DHCP now for your router to assign it a dedicated lease is correct04:25
dman777leftyfb: strange...how come I have to have dhcpcd set to true when the router will be assigning the ipaddress?04:25
leftyfbdman777: because your machine is getting it's IP via DHCP04:26
leftyfbthe router is just giving it the same ip every time04:26
dman777leftyfb: ah!04:26
leftyfbdman777: you should still figure out what went wrong with the static ip config04:27
dman777yep... one sec... rebooting and then I will get that info04:27
dman777leftyfb: https://dpaste.org/E3pL the routes are different this time with it working04:30
dman777There are 3 routes instead of 2 as before when it was not working04:31
dman777leftyfb: the new route 192.168.x.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 was added with the working version. Why is this?04:32
dman777leftyfb: oh...and the gateway is different also04:33
leftyfbe04:33
leftyfbthen your gateway with the static config was wrong04:33
dman777leftyfb: oh!04:34
dman777leftyfb: ok... thank you so much for your help!!! :)04:34
leftyfb"[23:06:12] <leftyfb> dman777: if your default route matches your gateway, then everything looks fine"04:35
leftyfbyou should have responded with the fact that the default route was not the ip if your gateway04:35
dman777leftyfb: ah... ok. my bad04:36
dman777leftyfb: I should of realized. Been a good 2 years I think since I missed with my network.04:37

=== fling is now known as swing
zenofand I don't want to change the write permissions on a partition that will be mounted once I booted a system already..13:00
KBarzenof: I don't think it does that by default. It's mounted read-only and you can't access it. Are you sure you did not modify it with things like mkusb?13:01
zenofyes, I am sure. I just cloned the *.iso to my pendrive, and once I booted from it, it creates a partition called "writable" in the left free space, and puts install logs and stuff inside.13:04
KBarzenof: that's interesting. is it persistent though, i.e. can you write data to it and access it later after removing it from the computer?13:05
zenofand I expect a live system to not change anything in my partition tables at all, not on my actual hdd nor on the pendrive itself. just for security reasons.13:06
KBarzenof: I found a thread on ubuntuforums that explains what might be the reasoning behind it: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=244627213:08
zenofyes, it is persistent. when I later plug this usb pendrive to a installed system, the ubuntu live partition (ro) is there a long with  writable ext part13:08
zenofokay, from that thread "a cloned live drive is no longer read-only, but it creates an ext4 partition with the label 'writable' behind the cloned part of the drive automatically. ". why on earth is that done as default "automatically". I mean it would be okay to opt-in in something like that, but why do I have to proactively turn it off?13:13
zenofagain, from a so called live-system I expect to leave everything untouched ...13:14
KBarzenof: there is probably a log of this change somewhere. keep in mind that you're not the only user of Ubuntu. there's probably a good reason to it. #ubuntu-devel might be a better place to ask and discuss such things13:15
KBarzenof: if you think it's potentially dangerous, file a bug report on launchpad.net against the affected packages or send a message to  ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com13:17
zenofKBar: yes, I'm aware of not being the only ubuntu user. And yes, I will have some further read about that, maybe asking the dev-guys.. thx.13:21
jsbachhi! anyone using veracrypt here?13:47
lotuspsychjejsbach: usualy this channel focuses on ubuntu issues, if you think its related ask in this channel so volunteers can think along with you13:49
KBarjsbach: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Contact.html13:51
jsbachlotuspsychje, well yeah, as i installed the default pacage from the repo. The Problem: Auto-Mounting with Favourite Volumes don't work on my Ubuntu 20.04 with 5.11 Kernel13:52
KBarjsbach: ? it's not available from the default repositories13:54
JackFrostjsbach: I don't see an option to automatically mount favorites on launch, I do see a button to mount all favorites though.13:55
jsbachK8ar, hmm apt-cache tells me it is available. gotta check if i added external repo13:55
JackFrostYou likely have a PPA for it, or downloaded the *.deb from sf.net/p/veracrypt13:55
jsbachJackFrost, exactly. According to theory of VeraCrypt, it is "all" mark the volume as "favourite"13:56
KBarTo remind you, this channel is for Ubuntu support.13:57
JackFrostjsbach: Reading up on the doc about favorites (https://veracrypt.eu/en/docs/favorites/), it is written geared towards Windows and I'm not sure the same quite applies to Linux.  You have the option to add things to favorites and you can mount/dismount all from the tray and whatnot, butt I don't think you can do so on launch unless you're passing veracrypt --auto-mount=favorites14:00
JackFrost(I have never used such a feature though, so do not know it well.)14:00
jsbachJackFrost, thanks for the pointer. gotta check that out though.14:00
lotuspsychjealternate, zulucrypt is on the ubuntu repos14:01
jsbachwierd, i haven't added any veracrypt repos. I checked the /etc/apt/sources.list and sources.list.d/. Also the "Software Updater" UI14:02
JackFrostcryptsetup itself has support for veracrypt volumes too, though of course doesn't have a GUI like zulu does.14:02
jsbachanyhow.14:02

JackFrostIf you aren't super attched to the UI, maybe look into zulucrypt too.14:03
KBarjsbach: or do this (more reliable): `dpkg -S $(which -a COMMAND)`14:04
JackFrostThat's...not at all the info I'm looking for.14:05

JackFrostjsbach: You didn't get that from a repo, there's no downloadable source.  I also don't recognize the version string right off either.14:06
KBartell me you see a package called veracrypt there14:06
jsbachK8ar, got you14:06
JackFrost1.25.4 is out, fwiw.14:06

jsbachJackFrost, thanks14:06
KBarthe deb package14:06
KBarand installed with dpkg -i14:06
jsbachKBar, launchpad! aha! nice one.14:06
jsbachi might yes14:06
JackFrostOr, sf.net/p/veracrypt, which the releases are uploaded to and there's a pretty active community forum.14:07
JackFrostjsbach: FWIW, the docs should already be on your system at /usr/share/doc/veracrypt/HTML/14:08
jsbachJackFrost, i'll try the automount switch as you mentioned. if not, the update. just about time, those updates. then the configuration is gone etc. etc.14:08
jsbachJackFrost, thanks for the advice. veracrypt works fine, don't mind if ui or not ui. just a question of time investment14:08
jsbachJackFrost, well yeah. read the manual. i know14:09

webchat19hi folks! I just upgraded my vm server from 18.04 to 20.04, and for some reason netplan was not installed for some reason , so now the vm is without network..:D  I have accees to vm via console, and still have the netconfig in /etc/network/interfaces, but it's not activated on boot. Anyone have any good links to howto bring vm up with static ip15:57
webchat19and route with ip/route commands or some other idea how i could get network up so i could install netplan and have a try with the new yaml-type config (i'm moderate skill in linux, and have used netplan before to config). .. so chicken vs egg dilemma, howto install netplan without network:)  I could just backup the important data and nuke the vm15:57
webchat19and install fresh ubuntu 20.04 minimal or debian 11 and start over, but I wanted to ask comments first..15:57
KBarwebchat19: `dpkg -l netplan.io`16:03
leftyfbwebchat19: how is your interfaces configured now? dhcp or static?16:03
leftyfbwebchat19: I would suggest dhcp. Then look at the interface name you have configured and compare that with the interface names being detected in /sys/class/net/16:04
webchat19static ip, but no network atm, because something has changed, and /etc/network/interfaces is not processed anymore16:04
leftyfbwebchat19: e/n/i is probably being processed still16:04
webchat19this vm is in a datacenter, so no dhcp available16:04
leftyfbwebchat19: ok, check my 2nd request16:05
alalaHi. Yesterday strange situation: Httpd ist deinstalled, also OpenVAS, that was listening to that port. But whenever I browsed to localhost, I was redirected to: https://127.0.0.1:9392/login/login.html . How can I figure out which application ist listening on that port? netstat would not ... thanks16:08
leftyfbalala: sudo lsof -i :939216:08
webchat19leftyfb:  eth0 -> ../../devices/virtual/net/eth0 is in /sys/class/net/, and eth0 configured in interfaces, also i think ifconfig and ip link says interface is up, but without ip config16:09
leftyfbwebchat19: journalctl -u networking16:09
leftyfbcheck for errors16:09
alalaleftyfb: thank but that does not show the service or the binaray binding to it16:10
leftyfbalala: then there is no service listening on that port16:11
alalaleftyfb: damn, I am blind. column 116:11
alalathank you16:11
webchat19leftyfb: good suggestions,  RTNETLINK answers: No such process, and RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address visible, but i'm starting to think that it would be easier for me to bring another volume to this vm and copy all important stuff to that volume and start with fresh install, rather than try to debug this.. thanks anyway!16:13

RedNifreHow do I change the zoom on my webcam?17:01
RedNifreAs in, only the center of the video feed gets forwarded to the video call apps. I'm asking because my camera is farer away than usual.17:02
jhutchinsRedNifre: Turn the black crank on the right hand side of the casing clockwise.17:02
RedNifreThe webcam doesn't have an optical zoom, so I'm looking for a software zoom.17:03
RedNifreIdeally, I could set this in the operating system per camera, so if I find the ideal zoom, it would use it in all apps.17:03
jhutchinsRedNifre: Well go ahead and write that then.17:04
jhutchinsRedNifre: Seriously, we'd have to know what camera you have, and what software you're trying to use it with.17:04
jhutchinsRedNifre: Web cams are not standard by any means, they use a variety of user interfaces and controls, and video applications do not have standard interfaces either.17:05
RedNifreLogitech cam and every software. Basically, I'd like to set "2 x zoom" and it would use the pixels from 1/4 X to 3/4 X and 1/4 Y to 3/4 Y.17:05
RedNifreOkay, sounds impossible then.17:06
jhutchinsRedNifre: No, you just need to dig into the documentation for the components you're using.  Logitech doesn't explicitly support Linux apps, so they won't be much help.17:06
jhutchins!webcam17:07
ubottuInstructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras17:07
jhutchinsRedNifre: Remember, almost all commercial video is processed through Linux render farms, so the possibility is out there.17:08
RedNifreI was hoping that the OS would, you know, abstract he hardware. As in, the video call apps wouldn't have to care about the specific cam. Oh well.17:08

Gallomimiaso, what's the simplest way to install kernel 5.13 on 21.1020:45
oerheks21.10 should already have 5.1320:46
Gallomimiawell i'm on 5.1220:52
Gallomimiaoh you're right. what20:53
Gallomimiaum um um. 5.14 is what i wanted to upgrade to. but people are saying same issue under 5.14 and 5.1520:54
Gallomimiacurses. i need this to go away. it's causing so many issues20:55
Gallomimiamemory leaks. performance problems. hangs. certain programs won't error20:55
Croranis there a way to throttle memory usage for applications that use more than, say, 10GB of RAM?20:55
oerheks' people are saying same issue under 5.14 and 5.15'... so they are running next Jellyfish 22.04?20:56

Gallomimiaoerheks, they're not always specific about what OS they're on21:57
syberdork221:59
oerheksone could test the mainline ppa, but that comes without support. i still think it is a wild claim, memory leaks, without further info.22:00
oerhekscould be a browser, and a certain page only..22:00
MrCollinsGArunning Ubuntu 20.04 I cant change window managers. I am trying to install a minimalist gui here is my output from apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop22:06
MrCollinsGAhttps://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/raw/qewojoyuta22:06
MrCollinsGAnow I am at a window manager that is not the one I had loaded before. It has very very minimal icons etc, like it is some kind of 'safe mode'.22:07
MrCollinsGAIt is not the one I was going for the command apt install lightdm22:07
pasizMrCollinsGA: are you talking of window manager or login manager22:10
MrCollinsGAwindow manager I *believe*22:10
illiahello guys22:10
MrCollinsGAhello22:11
pasizlightdm is display manager22:11
pasizthus name dm22:11
MrCollinsGAok maybe thats what I am after.22:11
MrCollinsGAI know the *gui* I have now, is not what I wanted. I cant even open terminal without atrl-alt-t22:12
pasizMrCollinsGA: what is your problem?22:12
illiawhats your view on hacking22:12
MrCollinsGAnot the right window manager22:12
MrCollinsGAhacking is typing code, right?22:12
pasizMrCollinsGA: have you selected what window manager on display manager22:12

pasizMrCollinsGA: what desktop environment you are trying to use? gnome, kde ??22:15
MrCollinsGApasiz, not sure but I think I got it figured out. https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-minimal-gnome-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux22:15
MrCollinsGAyou helped me inadvertently figured out, thank you.22:15
MrCollinsGAleftyfb, how are you today22:15
pasizaim to please...22:16
MrCollinsGAso let me get this straight, according to that website, what it tells you to install, is a desktop manager?22:16
illiamr collin what you want to find out about22:18
MrCollinsGAhttps://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-minimal-gnome-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux  does that website have me install a desktop manager? is that what the official word for 'gui' in ubuntu?22:19
illiagraphical user interface22:20
MrCollinsGAI know what a gui is. :)22:20
MrCollinsGAis that installing a 'desktop manager'?22:21
Gallomimiastill have not figured out how to change to a newer kernel. the wiki doesn't help, and no one in this channel is willing to tell me.22:22
oerheksMrCollinsGA, yes, but more minimal than the ubuntu minimal desktop22:23
leftyfbGallomimia: why do you think you need a newer kernel?22:23
oerheksGallomimia, there is no newer kernel22:23
oerhekstry !mainline, but those are for testing only22:23
MrCollinsGAGallomimia, take help when someone is willing and humbly appreciate it.22:23
Gallomimiait has been suggested that using a different kernel version will cause the nvidia driver to stop flipping its wig22:24
Gallomimiaso, yes. i'll be testing.22:24
Gallomimiathe !mainline snippet did not give me any understandable instructions22:25
oerheksyou are still using the 495?22:25
Gallomimia47022:25
leftyfbGallomimia: maybe start by asking for help troubleshooting your exact issue (nvidia) and not with some solution someone on the internet came up with that might or might not work22:25
Gallomimiaaccording to nvidia website 495 does not support the 780i22:25
Gallomimiaokay. this issue i'm having is this error in dmesg: [   24.319403] [drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to grab modeset ownership22:26
leftyfbGallomimia: do you have any symptoms other than this kernel message?22:27
Gallomimiahere is a full paste of my dmesg: https://termbin.com/dhb622:27
Gallomimiayes. the gpu performance is attrocious. there are unexplainable memory leaks in the system. websites refuse to display visual. certain programs refuse to quit cleanly.22:28
Gallomimiathey are numerous and difficult to descirbe. i asked for help in this channel some time ago, and was pointed at this kernel message. a solution was not forthcoming nor simple so i had to back-burner it22:29
leftyfbGallomimia: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-21-10-failed-to-grab-modeset-ownership-with-495-44/193867/28   looks like this is a known issue with nvidia's driver. Nothing we can really do here22:30
Gallomimiaregression, as it worked fine years ago. i suppose i can downgrade the driver22:31
Gallomimiaseems there's actual interest from an nvidia employee... i wonder if there's any reports i can submit to aid?22:32
leftyfbGallomimia: maybe post in that thread22:33
leftyfbgood luck22:33
Gallomimiayeah >:( thanks tho22:33
Gallomimiaokay that's good. hopefully nvidia staff is back in the office tomorrow.22:47

trafficjamanyone know what this `apt upgrade` error means? 'E: Failed to fetch http://binaries.erlang-solutions.com/debian/pool/erlang-crypto_24.1.7-1%7eubuntu%7eimpish_amd64.deb  File has unexpected size (191482 != 191542). Mirror sync in progress?'23:38
leftyfbtrafficjam: it means contact erlang-solutions.com for support with their broken repo23:39
trafficjamleftyfb: it's definitely a repo issue?23:40
jhutchinstrafficjam: Yes.23:40
leftyfbtrafficjam: do you have issues with any of your other repos?23:40
jhutchinstrafficjam: Probably just temporary.23:40
trafficjamnope just this one23:40
jhutchinstrafficjam: Repos are fairly automated, when something messes up they need human intervention, which isn't immediate (especially on weekends and holidays).23:42
trafficjamah ok, thanks23:42
trafficjamcan someone explain what exactly happens during a mirror sync? and is there a way to use an older version of the package? not sure i want to wait several days for this gets fixed23:53
trafficjamfor example can i use the 21.04 version?23:57
trafficjamgoing to do it23:58
