[00:00] Sorry, I'm incredibly tired right now. [00:00] I've had a lot of shit luck lately and I'm fixing problems one by one.

[00:01] -> password manager [00:02] I am trying to get that recovery key. [00:04] I know now what I did with the recovery key. [00:04] If I tell you.... You might want to remove any sharp objects from your vicinity. :| [00:05] So Windows gives you 3 options to generate a recovery key: 1. Put it on your Microsoft account; 2. Save to a file; 3. Print it [00:06] at least they don't upload it to facebook, post it on twitter, or share it on microsoft github... [00:06] I don't have a Microsoft account. Windows won't let you save it to a file on the same disk as the one that is encrypted *and I don't have any other disks in this VM*... So I printed it! But I have no printer. [00:06] So I printed to PDF, and saved the PDF on the VM. [00:06] And then most likely forgot about it. [00:07] Vercas: ohhhhh, ouch :( [00:15] Got the key out and made two backups of it so I don't have this problem again. [00:16] sarnold, thank you so much again [00:32] Vercas: *sweet*! your VM is back up and running and everything? :D glad to hear it ;) [00:35] Yes, and I tested the recovery key after updating back to OVMF to the latest version. It's all working!

When connected to power, sometimes my laptop just resets without any warning. Never observed this when on battery. How can I debug what may be causing this? [08:12] abhishek: may not be helpful but 21.04 is about to go EOL this month so you should upgrade to 21.10 [08:15] Good Morning, I'm trying to build a 'generic' ubuntu kernel that will boot on many different devices (via PXE). Once the kernel is booted it should load a ramdisk, and run ONE program, then (mostlikely) reboot. [08:17] Maik: yeah goes eol on 20th, planning to upgrade this weekend :-) [08:18] parlos: how is that different from all existing vanilla kernels that boot in many different devices via PXE? [08:18] You mean that you don't want an initramfs? [08:19] Hello! It seems the Ubuntu Mono font is buggy. Underline renders badly in alacrytty [08:23] alkisg; I want a initrd/ramfs. I suspect that a vanilla kernel would work. Perhaps I'm messing up the initrd/ramfs. [08:25] alkisg: I'm using dracut to build the initrd. And once booted (into rescuemode) the log states that the new host has the same name as my device.. [08:25] Any hints/pointers to a good Howto to builld a initrd/ramfs for Ubuntu ? [08:25] parlos: dracut isn't well tested in the debian land. Why aren't you using the stock initramfs-tools? [08:26] For many netbooting cases, ltsp.org is a good way to go [08:26] The "ramfs" as you call it then is a normal disk, squashfs'ed, and loaded to ram [08:28] Not seen that (ltsp.org), your the developer/maintainer? [08:28] Yup [08:29] (the last in line, at least :D) [08:30] So currently; Ive got an std PXE bootsystem that allows me to boot images on hosts, usually those are just installation images. But I also have a need to do 'DD' either to write directly to or from discs on the hosts. Is that possible? (hence the need push out a kernel, and run a program) [08:31] Oh sure. By default, ltsp allows you to netboot any pc using any debian-based image or iso, and with my other tool, epoptes.org, you have out-of-the-box remote control to any of them [08:32] So dd'ing an image is just a command via the epoptes run-command dialog... or right click open remote terminal locally... [08:32] or double click = vnc to the client even before login.. etc etc [08:33] Hrm, epoptes is that something thats added on to an installed entity (host side)? [08:34] It's a vnc-like package. LTSP can netboot any image even if it doesn't have the ltsp client package installed, but for epoptes, the epoptes-server is needed on the server and the epoptes-client on the client image [08:35] So you'd netboot the clients using an image that does have epoptes-client, then you'd dd any image at all, not the one you booted them from [08:35] E.g. in some schools I netboot the clients and dd an MS windows image to their disks [08:38] Ok, seems like a system we had in mid 2005; but lost. Can the 'server' side, either ltsp or epoptes be scripted/configed for automatic operations? === useful_idiot2 is now known as useful_idiot [08:39] There's a configuration directory, /etc/ltsp that supports various hooks, less for the server and more for the clients [08:39] So, when a device boots it either gets the menu, or the server just pushes over an image to that specific device. [08:39] So e.g. POST_INIT_COMMAND="some script" runs a command at the client init phase, and there are phases for initrd-bottom, service, session etc etc [08:40] Yes the menu is the default but you can set the DEFAULT_IMAGE or even hide the menu [08:40] The commands for the clients are specified in a simple ltsp.conf file with ini-style syntax, e.g. [mac-address] directive or [subnet*] directives or [hostname] etc [08:41] So you can specify that all raspberry clients do one thing, all the PCs another, or one specific client to boot and clone... whatever [08:41] OK, I'll give it a go. To see if it can replace my homegrown stuff.

[11:42] signofzeta, apparmor profiles for snap packages are generated by snapd based on the snap interfaces the snap defines [11:43] so either there is a definition missing or snapd has an issue on your system [11:47] Greetings. How does the extended support for ubuntu work from canonical? I'm reading the docs and ubuntu as far back as 14.04 is supported till about 2024. Does that mean I can pay to use ubuntu 14.04?

[14:46] ELQEYNN: you should not be logging in as root [14:46] well, if you did a root login (not via su but through the login prompt), the root user has its own password ... which is hopefully different from the user password [14:46] and what leftyfb said ... *DO NOT ENABLE ROOT* if you cate about security, use sudo as pre-set-up by ubuntu [14:46] *care [14:46] In doing desktop linux, I always made the root password the same as the user password.

What did it look like? Can you post a screenshot of the form? [15:18] ^^^^^^^ very curious [15:18] sent it by putting it on the screen. [15:19] After terminating the session, the form was still there. [15:19] coz_, they did set a root PW for whatever obscure reason, this was the same as the user password apparently ... then had a consultation and changed the user password .. now they are not the same password anymore ... which triggered the last hour of mess above ... [15:20] oh, setting root password makes support useless [15:20] jkc, ... Are you there? [15:20] time to reinstall ELQEYNN [15:21] So, I'll have to wipe the disk and reinstall? [15:21] why setting a root password in the first place? [15:22] Why would the previous password not work for root anymore? [15:23] yes, you tell us? [15:23] because they are two disctinct users ... [15:23] jkc said that root is disabled by default ... [15:23] ... with two distinct passwords ... [15:23] it is [15:23] on purpose ... for security reasons [15:24] there is no root password, so if you did a tweak to do so, you are on your own [15:24] root is disabled on ubuntu since day one ... if you set a password for the rot account, you effectively enable that account... [15:24] didn't do any tweeks. ... no root password? [15:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#root_account [15:25] th account is locked ... unless you set a password [15:27] good thing to know: There is no need to use root. [15:27] indeed, ubuntu makes administrating easier [15:28] So, how do I get to the software store? [15:29] ELQEYNN, hit the windows key ... type "soft" ... you should see an icon for "Ubuntu Software" ... click that icon ... wait ... [15:30] olalala [15:31] ha [15:33] !info exagear [15:33] woot [15:33] Package exagear does not exist in impish [15:33] OK. I'm glad that there is no need for root access. [15:33] ELQEYNN: please answer the questions === royks_ is now known as royks [15:34] leftyfb Everything you and the others told me and asked was lost with all the netsplits. [15:34] ELQEYNN: how did the consultant connect to your laptop and for what reason? [15:35] The consultant installed ubuntu. [15:35] I was very happy, because it accesses WiFi just fine. [15:35] !info exagear [15:35] Package exagear does not exist in impish [15:36] Aarch64debian: you already did that, please stop [15:36] What is impish? === henco9 is now known as henco [15:38] So, ... I'm glad that root acess isn't needed. Now, how do I get to the software store? [15:39] ELQEYNN: the same exact way you open every other application on your ubuntu desktop [15:39] if yu cannot run sudo apt update, softwarestore is also unreachable [15:39] ELQEYNN: maybe you should contact your "consultant" for these questions. [15:39] I tried install . [15:40] ELQEYNN, with sudo apt install ? [15:40] ELQEYNN: you should probably contact your "consultant" to help you use the OS they installed for you. Or you could type "How to use ubuntu" into google or youtube for some beginner help [15:41] ok ... Thanks. ... I've got a doctor's appointment now. bbl [15:42] very curious [15:43] obvious troll is obvious. It's not the first time we've had to deal with them [15:43] hi! I'm trying to get wi-fi working on Ubuntu 20.04 kernel 5.11 for a thinkpad E15 gen3 [15:43] ah ok leftyfb [15:44] I'm not sure what the adapter is in dmesg or lspci, but the wired appears to be a realtek r8169 [15:44] unixbeard: lspci | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:45] unixbeard: oh wait, can you get it wired first? [15:45] https://termbin.com/3i8p [15:45] it is wired [15:46] I suspect I may have to use a later kernel or 21.10, but I'd rather stick with 20.04 if possible. [15:48] unixbeard: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/wifi-on-thinkpad-e14-gen3-install-missing-firmware/15140/2 [15:49] ah same answer, build from git https://www.py4u.net/discuss/1140675 [15:49] "This code will build on any kernel 5.4 and newer as long as the distro has not modified any of the kernel APIs. IF YOU RUN UBUNTU, YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT THE APIs HAVE CHANGED. NO, I WILL NOT MODIFY THE SOURCE FOR YOU. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!!!!!" [15:49] oerheks: unfortunately, realtek has not opensourced their drivers or built .debs for us to install [15:49] better not ... [15:50] ugh [15:50] ogra_: I saw that a well. I don't think they have a choice. But people as recent as 6 months ago have said they have worked [15:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1945967 [15:51] Launchpad bug 1945967 in linux (Ubuntu) "rtw89 kernel module for Realtek 8852 wifi is missing" [Medium, Confirmed] [15:51] looks like the linuxoem package has a proper backport of the module [15:51] *linux-oem [15:52] too bad they don't have a linux-oem-hwe [15:54] the reason I don't want to use 21.10 is due to some trackpad bug I ran into backing the windows install on this new thinkpad up using uhhh rescuezilla. I had to use an older version of rescuezilla when I ran into that. [15:56] unixbeard: rescuezilla isn't a supported application in ubuntu. I'm not sure what that has to do with the version of ubuntu you installed [15:58] leftyb, idk its based on ubuntu and the latest version uses 21.10's kernel which had an issue with the trackpad that lead to a kernel panic [15:59] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1371042/ubuntu-21-10-install-stuck-with-lenovo-thinkpad-e15-gen2-because-of-elan-error/1371050 [16:00] unixbeard: ok, so you're actually asking for support with the wifi card within rescuezilla and not a fresh install of the officially supported ubuntu iso's? [16:00] no [16:00] No :( I am just mentioning this as an aside, as to one reason why I don't want to resolve my wi-fi issue with a later kernel in 21.10 because I think it will present other issues. [16:01] unixbeard: you can't make assumptions about Ubuntu releases based on 3rd party spinoffs of ubuntu [16:01] I currently have Ubuntu 20.04 installed on the E15 right now and am about to build lwfinger's driver. [16:02] :-) [16:02] that's why I made assumptions based on the link I posted above instead [16:02] Hi there, I hacked a ChromeBox using MrChromebox.tech scripts so now I can run Linux on it as well. I cloned the original NVMe of 256GB to a new one of 1TB and then used fdisk to create new partitions in the unused space. However I cannot get Ubuntu install to detect the partitions. In the first photo you can see that parted has a problem with it [16:02] too though. https://florianbador.com/pub/202201-chromebox-hack/ [16:02] unixbeard, why don't you use https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 ? it builds fine (but idk if it will work) [16:03] 16:01 < unixbeard> I currently have Ubuntu 20.04 installed on the E15 right now and am about to build lwfinger's driver.
