| orbisvicis | I'm having problems with my webcam / cheese, uvcvideo virtualbox device, works fine in vlc but cheese says no device even with -d /dev/video0 | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| oerheks | orbisvicis, try to set resolution 1 step lower in preferences, that made my webcam work. | 00:17 |
| oerheks | in cheese * | 00:17 |
| orbisvicis | oerheks, can't set the resolution without a device | 00:17 |
| oerheks | then virtual box is the culprit? | 00:18 |
| orbisvicis | oerheks, I would think so, but it does work fine in vlc | 00:21 |
| oerheks | yeah, good point | 00:21 |
| orbisvicis | might be this? https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18725 | 00:23 |
| ubottu | www.virtualbox.org ticket 18725 in other "WebCam passtrough doesn't properly pass format capabilities to guest GStreamer" [New] | 00:23 |
| orbisvicis | does cheese use gstreamer? | 00:23 |
| oerheks | yes, i think so | 00:24 |
| orbisvicis | oerheks, yeah I checked the logs and seems to be the exact same problem | 00:44 |

| webchat546 | Hello? | 01:25 |
| sarnold | hi | 01:26 |
| webchat546 | Where am I | 01:26 |
| idkau | ubuntu | 01:26 |
| sarnold | the #ubuntu channel on the libera irc network | 01:26 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: Quebec | 01:26 |
| sarnold | lol | 01:26 |
| leftyfb | probably close to Blainville | 01:27 |
| webchat546 | wtf | 01:27 |
| webchat546 | why yoall looking to my public ip | 01:27 |
| leftyfb | you asked | 01:27 |
| idkau | its on the screen LOL | 01:27 |
| webchat546 | I know | 01:27 |
| webchat546 | but why does it show up | 01:27 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: this is an Ubuntu support channel. Do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 01:28 |
| sarnold | webchat546: because when irc was invented ~30 years ago it seemed like a good idea | 01:28 |
| webchat546 | https://superuser.com/questions/1555396/trouble-with-shutting-down-screen-in-ubuntu-server | 01:28 |
| webchat546 | Im troubleshooting on this since this morning and all my finds on the internet dont work! | 01:28 |
| webchat546 | [I'm trying to turn off my laptop display with ubuntu server] | 01:28 |
| webchat546 | Terminal : | 01:28 |

| sarnold | oh wow. /dev/mem hasn't been writable for *ages* | 01:29 |
| sarnold | decade? more?> | 01:29 |
| leftyfb | sarnold: they got the command from a forum post from 10 years ago | 01:30 |
| sarnold | leftyfb: sounds about right | 01:31 |
| webchat546 | Because my laptop is a 2012 windows laptop | 01:31 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 01:31 |
| webchat546 | Ubuntu Server | 01:31 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: grep -i version /etc/os-release | 01:31 |
| webchat546 | VERSION="20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa)" | 01:32 |
| webchat546 | VERSION_ID="20.04" | 01:32 |
| webchat546 | VERSION_CODENAME=focal | 01:32 |
| sem | i wrote a script once to turn my laptop screen off | 01:32 |
| sem | i don't remember what was in it though :( | 01:32 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: you can just say "20.04". Going forward, please do not paste more than 1 line here at a time. Use a pastebin site for that | 01:32 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: have you tried https://dannyda.com/2019/06/19/turn-off-display-automatically-on-ubuntu-18-04-server-with-text-boot/ ? | 01:32 |
| webchat546 | I was creating my account in background sorry | 01:33 |
| webchat546 | im looking at it | 01:33 |
| webchat546 | Will I be able to bind a script to a key ? | 01:34 |
| webchat546 | with this | 01:34 |
| webchat546 | When pressing Fn+F7, it would turn the screen back on | 01:35 |
| sem | webchat546, the grub solution would work at boot only, as I understand that | 01:35 |
| webchat546 | that's the reason of why im asking, I want it as script | 01:35 |
| webchat546 | not boot | 01:35 |
| sem | right | 01:35 |
| sem | I had a script like that once but I don't remember the command that worked for my particular laptop at the time (back in 2015 or so) | 01:36 |
| sem | what else have you tried? | 01:36 |
| webchat546 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/vbetool | 01:36 |
| sarnold | webchat546: maybe setterm? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_Power_Management_Signaling#DPMS_interaction_in_a_Linux_console_with_setterm | 01:36 |
| webchat546 | xset and vbetools | 01:36 |
| webchat546 | I will try that sarnold | 01:36 |
| sem | this is the command that worked for me way back when https://askubuntu.com/questions/398059/is-there-any-way-to-make-a-hotkey-turn-the-screen-off does this still work sarnold ? | 01:37 |
| sem | xset dpms force off | 01:38 |
| webchat546 | When I do that it says: | 01:39 |
| webchat546 | xset: unable to open display "" | 01:39 |
| sem | idk if ubuntu uses wayland yet or if xset works for that too | 01:39 |
| sem | webchat546, it might be too old | 01:39 |
| webchat546 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/vbetool | 01:40 |
| sem | man xset? | 01:40 |
| webchat546 | theres a website on that | 01:40 |
| sarnold | sem: xset requires a running X11 | 01:40 |
| sarnold | it won't work from the virtual consoles | 01:40 |
| sem | oh i forgot no gui | 01:41 |
| sem | as for the shortcut, idk how to make virtual consoles keyboard shortcuts, but it might not be too hard to put the script in ~/bin and call it ts for toggle screen and just type that and press enter | 01:43 |
| webchat546 | I saw something to do that | 01:43 |
| webchat546 | must not be that hard | 01:44 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: https://dannyda.com/2019/06/19/turn-off-display-automatically-on-ubuntu-18-04-server-with-text-boot/ | 01:44 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: man setterm | 01:44 |
| webchat546 | "setterm: terminal xterm does not support --blank" | 01:45 |
| sarnold | heh, I can't recall ever seeing anything to do 'key bindings' at the console; that's not usually what the consoles are about :) | 01:45 |
| sarnold | xterm? I thought you were on a virtual console? | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | I'm hosting the server on my laptop | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | I mean | 01:46 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: is this a VM? | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | There is now windows anymore, its now a ubuntu server only | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | not a vm | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | leftyfb no | 01:46 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: do you have a GUI installed? | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | no | 01:46 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: then how are you running xterm? | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | its only terminal | 01:46 |
| webchat546 | I dont know ? | 01:47 |
| webchat546 | I just installed ubuntu server yesterday and followed everything they said | 01:47 |
| rfm | If the TERM environment variable were set somehow to xterm )despite being on a console) this would result... | 01:48 |
| leftyfb | webchat546: echo $TERM | 01:51 |
| webchat546 | Ok | 01:51 |
| leftyfb | what did it give you? | 01:51 |
| webchat546 | xterm | 01:51 |
| webchat546 | Maybe because I'm trough SSH ? | 01:51 |
| leftyfb | yes | 01:51 |
| sarnold | aha! | 01:51 |
| leftyfb | you can't do this through ssh | 01:51 |
| webchat546 | my keyboard is all destroyed on my hosted computer | 01:52 |
| webchat546 | come on | 01:52 |
| webchat546 | alrightt then | 01:52 |
| webchat546 | gotta code with no keycaps | 01:52 |
| sarnold | webchat546: look at "Pipe the escapes to any tty (with write/append perms) to modify that terminal" on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_Power_Management_Signaling#DPMS_interaction_in_a_Linux_console_with_setterm | 01:52 |
| sarnold | webchat546: you may need to override the TERM environment variable | 01:53 |
| leftyfb | you could try setterm --blank 0 --term linux # but I don't think it's going to work | 01:53 |
| leftyfb | or setterm --blank 0 --term tty0 # or whatever tty you are on. I'm not sure | 01:54 |
| webchat546 | i just got a headache I will continue tomorrow | 01:54 |
| webchat546 | its bad | 01:54 |
| webchat546 | thanks for your help I will try all of this | 01:54 |
| BlackDalek | Hello. I can't get wifi card detected on Acer Apsire 5 laptop. No wifi hardware available. How do I fix this? | 02:05 |
| sarnold | BlackDalek: is there a hardware key or slider or switch to turn off radios? | 02:06 |
| sarnold | BlackDalek: be sure you look for one of those before you've spent too much time on other things :) | 02:06 |
| BlackDalek | sarnold, there is a wifi on/off key on keyboard if that's what you mean, but it is on. | 02:07 |

| BlackDalek | orange1, I have a ethernet cable plugged in but nothing shows up in software and updates for additonal drivers | 02:20 |
| orange1 | ah ok | 02:20 |
| sem | look up ndiswrapper? | 02:20 |
| BlackDalek | ok.. how do I install and use ndiswrapper on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and how do I use it to fix no wifi detected? | 02:35 |
| orange1 | did you sudo apt upgrade everything yet? | 02:36 |
| BlackDalek | orange1, yes. everything is up to date | 02:37 |

| orange1 | that wifi works in kernel versions 5.12 and up | 02:45 |
| BlackDalek | orange1, how do I get kernel 5.12 installed properly? | 02:46 |
| orange1 | well, maybe somebody here know how to do that better. i only did that once a long time ago but my ubuntu 21.10 has kernel version 5.13 | 02:48 |
| BlackDalek | If I install a mainline kernel to fix the wifi, does that mean everything else will be broken? | 02:50 |
| BlackDalek | Is there any way to get wifi working in kernel 5.11 instead? | 02:54 |
| Bashing-om | !info inux-generic-hwe-20.04 focal | 02:54 |
| ubottu | linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge (5.13.0.23.23~20.04.10, focal): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Built by linux-meta-hwe-5.13. Size 2 kB / 19 kB | 02:54 |
| Bashing-om | ^^ Humm that does not jive with "apt" :( | 02:56 |
| rfm | Bashing-om, what do you mean? I just tried 'apt install --simulate linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge' on my 20.04 machine and it looks like it would happily install linux-image-5.13.0-23-generic | 02:58 |
| Bashing-om | rfm: In regards to ' apt list linux-generic-hwe-20.04 ' result. | 03:00 |
| rfm | Bashing-om, it has to be the -edge version to get 5.13 apparently | 03:01 |
| sarnold | do note the '-edge' at the end of that package | 03:01 |
| BlackDalek | Is this in relation to my no wifi/kernel upgrade problem? | 03:02 |
| Bashing-om | BlackDalek: Sorta - see if the HWE stack supports. | 03:03 |
| sarnold | BlackDalek: yeah; orange1 said your wifi is supported in 5.12 and newer; and there's a 5.13 kernel (that may or may not work) available to test with; try sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge | 03:03 |
| sarnold | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 03:03 |
| BlackDalek | sarnold, ok. I will try it and see what this breaks next. | 03:07 |

| dman777 | I uninstalled ufw to use iptables instead. service iptables status shows Active: inactive (dead). But service netfilter-persistent status shows Active: active (exited). How do know which one is correct and iptables is actually alive? | 03:31 |
| tomreyn | iptables is a kernel module, not actually a service | 03:32 |
| tomreyn | or a set of kernel modules rather | 03:32 |
| tomreyn | lsmod | grep ipt | 03:33 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: well, it's the userspace tools for netfilter | 03:33 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: but how do I know routes are going through iptables with Active: inactive (dead)? | 03:33 |
| tomreyn | whihc ubuntu release are you on there? | 03:33 |
| dman777 | server 20.04 | 03:33 |
| tomreyn | and there is actually an iptables.service unit? | 03:34 |
| tomreyn | no there is not | 03:35 |
| dman777 | hmm... how does service iptables status return data? | 03:35 |
| tomreyn | hmm yes looks like you do have this service file | 03:36 |
| tomreyn | i just tried that on a fresh 20.04 lts server and dont have it | 03:36 |
| sarnold | do you have an /etc/init.d/iptables perhaps? that might also show something similar? | 03:36 |
| dman777 | sarnold: no | 03:37 |
| tomreyn | systemctl status iptables.service should tell whether it's a systemd service unit | 03:37 |
| tomreyn | maybe it's part of netfilter-persistent | 03:38 |
| jkc | dman777: iptables is deprecated. You should be using nftables to manage the netfilter tables. | 03:38 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: https://dpaste.org/Uj3T | 03:38 |
| dman777 | jkc: deprecated in linux or just in ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| sarnold | dman777: deprecated in linux, ubuntu hasn't switched to nftables yet | 03:39 |
| dman777 | oh wow | 03:40 |
| tomreyn | dpkg -S /lib/systemd/system/iptables.service | 03:41 |
| dman777 | just recently? looks like the last stable release was | 03:41 |
| dman777 | 1.8.7 / 15 January 2021; | 03:41 |
| sarnold | https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=%2Flib%2Fsystemd%2Fsystem%2Fiptables.service&mode=exactfilename&suite=stable&arch=any I tried all of stretch, buster, bullseye, and bookworm and can't spot that file in any of them. what's in that file? :) | 03:41 |
| jkc | I believe Ubuntu has switched to nftables as of 21.10. | 03:42 |
| tomreyn | oh the "Docs:" reference in https://dpaste.org/Uj3T#L2,3 already gives it away that the iptables.service systemd unit is part of netfilter-persistent | 03:42 |
| tomreyn | jkc: not for userspace FWICT | 03:42 |
| sarnold | jkc: believe me, I get asked basically every week when the security team will finish the nftables MIR process.. | 03:43 |
| jkc | And, actually, Ubuntu 20.04 uses nftables as well. iptables is only used as a translation layer. | 03:43 |
| sarnold | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nftables/+bug/1887187 | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1887187 in nftables (Ubuntu) "[MIR] nftables" [Critical, Confirmed] | 03:43 |
| jkc | !shrug | 03:43 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: so iptables is more like a wrapper in this case? | 03:43 |
| jkc | 20.04: /etc/alternatives/iptables -> /usr/sbin/iptables-nft -> /usr/sbin/xtables-nft-multi | 03:44 |
| dman777 | confusing.... I have iptables-save and it shows the counters incrementing | 03:44 |
| tomreyn | dman777: you should be using the "iptables" command to manage the in-kernel packet filter on 20.04 LTS | 03:44 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: sorry, I don't understand exactly | 03:45 |
| tomreyn | dman777: can you repeat the question/problem then that you're trying to solve? | 03:45 |
| tomreyn | maybe i misunderstood | 03:46 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: how can I be certain iptables is being applied when systemctl status iptables.status shows as Active: inactive (dead)? | 03:46 |
| tomreyn | dman777: how do you mean "iptables is being applied"? | 03:47 |
| dman777 | tomreyn: yes | 03:49 |
| tomreyn | dman777: can you explain what you expect to happen when you say "certain iptables is being applied" | 03:51 |
| dman777 | the packets being blocked or routed through netfilter according to the rules set by iptables | 03:52 |
| ChompChomp | alis | 03:52 |
| tomreyn | dman777: so iptables.service is part of netfilter-persistent / iptables-persistent. it's a oneshot service meaning it just runs once and then exists. specifically at boot, to restore saved configurations from before the reboot. | 03:54 |
| tomreyn | it should not interfere with manually set rules | 03:55 |
| dman777 | ok, thanks | 03:55 |
| tomreyn | (other than that it will save those when you reboot and restore them afterwards) | 03:55 |
| soundwave[m] | After qemu/kvm recent update. Guest networking not working; Spice not working; Text console not working; Once VM started, force off/reset working, reboot/shut down not working. | 04:11 |
| soundwave[m] | When I restart libvirtd I get --> libvirtd.service: Found left-over process 5125 (dnsmasq) in control group while starting unit. Ignoring. | 04:11 |
| soundwave[m] | Looked at iptables, at first glance, nothing seems to have change. | 04:11 |

| Sumao | Hi | 06:05 |
| Sumao | What is the cheapest thin client one can buy? tablet, raspbery pi, old pc, old laptop, android tv, any other? the idea is the connect to a remote (LAN based) computer which has x2go in it and use that instead for browsing, coding/development, youtube (need sound too and I guess x2go has the option). OR some other protocol than x2go but that is the | 06:08 |
| Sumao | intention: invest on one good pc and use 4-5 or more thin clients (cheapest). | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | Sumao: a question for #hardware perhaps? | 06:26 |
| Sumao | ok | 06:32 |
| node1 | Hi | 06:53 |
| node1 | Can i get a support for wacom pen tablet here? | 06:53 |
| tomreyn | node1: maybe, just ask. | 06:56 |
| tomreyn | node1: try running lsusb and get the lines which refer to it, and post them to a pastebin | 06:57 |
| node1 | I'm using Ubuntu 20.04. And i think it has some program related to wacom in it. | 06:57 |
| node1 | I have connected my `one by wacom` in USB , but it looks nothing appears. | 06:58 |
| tomreyn | try a different usb port | 06:59 |
| tomreyn | if this doesn't change it, run dmesg -w while you connect it, see what's added (ctrl-c to cancel) | 07:00 |
| node1 | It looks it recognise my wacom https://pastebin.com/raw/iZcib2xq | 07:00 |
| tomreyn | so, does it work, yet? | 07:01 |
| node1 | I can't see anything on screen | 07:02 |
| tomreyn | does it say "Unknown device_type for 'Wacom Co.,Ltd. CTL-472'. Ignoring." in dmesg -w ? | 07:04 |
| node1 | Bus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:037a Wacom Co., Ltd CTL-472 [One by Wacom (S)] | 07:04 |
| tomreyn | dmesg|grep -i wacom| nc termbin.com 9999 | 07:06 |
| tomreyn | and make sure you have xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed | 07:08 |
| node1 | it looks the given documentation does not work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom/LatestDriver | 07:11 |
| node1 | This repository does not respond doctormo/wacom-plus | 07:12 |
| tomreyn | "Wacom/LatestDriver (last edited 2015-11-28 18:30:17[...]" | 07:12 |
| tomreyn | it's probably outdated | 07:13 |
| node1 | https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Installing-input-wacom-from-source | 07:14 |
| node1 | how to compile here ? they have not clear what to download | 07:14 |
| tomreyn | you did not share the dmesg output, yet | 07:14 |
| node1 | dmesg does not have any output related to string `wacom` | 07:15 |
| tomreyn | that's surprising, since the device was enumerated and is listed by lsusb | 07:16 |
| ELQEYNN | On some of the installed programs, the icon stays in Activities. It doesn't let me put it on the desktop screen | 07:17 |
| ELQEYNN | Is a right click supposed to give me the option of uptting it on the desktop? | 07:18 |
| tomreyn | ELQEYNN: many of the support questions you could ask here will depend on your ubuntu version and flavour. you mentioned "activities", which probably refer to the default gnome-shell desktop on current ubuntu releases, but it's not yet clear what you are running exactly. | 07:20 |
| tomreyn | also xorg vs xwaylaynd can make a difference | 07:21 |
| tomreyn | * xwayland | 07:21 |
| ELQEYNN | ubuntu version 21.20 | 07:25 |
| tomreyn | there's no such version. try lsb_release -ds in a terminal | 07:26 |
| tomreyn | or Settings -> Details | 07:27 |
| ELQEYNN | 21.10 (impish indri) according to /etc/os-release | 07:28 |
| tomreyn | ok, and this defaults to xwayland | 07:28 |
| tomreyn | i'll ake a look in a vm | 07:29 |
| tomreyn | i don't see an "add to desktop" option in the context menu when right clicking on an application in activity | 07:30 |
| tomreyn | *activities | 07:30 |
| tomreyn | so i don't think that's meant to work | 07:31 |
| ELQEYNN | Then, what is the way to get the icon on the desktop screen? | 07:32 |
| tomreyn | ELQEYNN: generally, the gnome folks decided at some point that there should not be desktop icons. so support for this is limited now. | 07:32 |
| tomreyn | what you could maybe do is to place a .desktop file in that directory | 07:32 |
| ELQEYNN | in the Desktop directory? | 07:33 |
| Gallomimia | systemd update. how scary | 07:33 |
| tomreyn | ELQEYNN: possibly so, i have not tried this | 07:34 |
| ELQEYNN | Gallomimia, what is scary about systemd? | 07:35 |
| Gallomimia | well if it's being update..... | 07:35 |
| Gallomimia | what could possibly go wrong? | 07:35 |
| ELQEYNN | darn if I know, you're the one who brought it up. | 07:38 |
| Gallomimia | the problem with the answer to my question is... everything. a concentrated single point of failure. i'm sure they did lots of testing before updating it, and it's not that i don't trust the boyz (and gals?) at canonical, but they're human beings, and we all make mistakes, and there's no way they could have tested every single possible hardware combination | 07:38 |
| Gallomimia | i was wondering if anyone knew anything about the update, if it had any issues | 07:38 |
| tomreyn | Gallomimia: there are changelogs, and you are probably referring to a security / bug fix update, not a feature upgrade. | 07:39 |
| Gallomimia | ah okay that's probably a lot less scary | 07:39 |
| Gallomimia | i'm just, not having a great day, and my system is already wonderfully unstable due to that nvidia driver bug you helped me find out about | 07:40 |
| Gallomimia | the devs at nvidia can't reproduce it.. i think i'm going to have to downgrade drivers | 07:41 |

| Nobrem | hi | 08:23 |
| Nobrem | is anyone here who knows ffmpeg well? | 08:23 |
| Nobrem | I am trying to add texts to certain timestamps, but always one too many frames gets the text | 08:23 |
| tomreyn | did you try #ffmpeg ? | 08:24 |
| Nobrem | tomreyn, everyone's idling there | 08:24 |
| tomreyn | how long did you wait? | 08:24 |
| Nobrem | tomreyn, for a while, but I have also been there some days ago, and it was the same | 08:25 |
| tomreyn | hmm, maybe they have a different, more active (potentially non IRC) support channel. | 08:25 |
| Nobrem | however that may be... is anyone here, in this channel, who can help? | 08:26 |
| tomreyn | which ubuntu version does it refer to? | 08:27 |
| Nobrem | 18.04 | 08:27 |
| Nobrem | But I am using the snap version of ffmpeg, so it should be the newest version | 08:27 |
| Nobrem | tomreyn, I might be getting help in #linux | 08:29 |
| Nobrem | tomreyn, looks like somebody just started a conversation with me | 08:29 |
| tomreyn | very well, good luck. | 08:30 |
| Nobrem | I could solve this by changing the seconds, but then numbers would overlap | 08:34 |
| Nobrem | can I do this with frames instead of seconds? | 08:34 |
| Nobrem | but, doing it with frames would have a downside | 08:35 |
| Nobrem | in my real script, I am doing some math, and dividing 24 is harder than working with seconds | 08:35 |
| tomreyn | i don't think this is really ubuntu specific enough to have a chance to be solved here. | 08:36 |
| Nobrem | sorry I just wrote the last few lines in the wrong channel | 08:38 |
| Rumen | Good morning! | 08:56 |
| lotuspsychje | welcome Rumen | 08:56 |
| lotuspsychje | how can we help you today | 08:56 |
| Rumen | Anyone have experiense with Ghostery browser? I want to install it, but I have it in folder. Starting it from termonal - does not remember the session so I want to install it | 08:57 |
| Rumen | https://i.imgur.com/3YEkPYR.png | 08:57 |
| Rumen | that's the files | 08:57 |
| Rumen | from termonal I start it with ./Ghostery | 08:58 |
| Rumen | and it works very well ... but if I have any extensions, themes, plugins etc ... onse the browser is closed everything goes ... next time should be installed again | 08:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Rumen: where did you get your app from? i dont see it in snaps or apt as package | 09:00 |
| Rumen | From their web page https://www.ghostery.com/ | 09:01 |
| Rumen | there is "download" for linux | 09:01 |
| Rumen | it is archive file and onse un archive I got the folder | 09:01 |
| ThinkT510 | it seems to be an extension for the major browsers: https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension | 09:03 |
| Rumen | Looks nice - seems it has strong securty section | 09:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Rumen: looks also like its paid plan, best to contact the github indeed^ | 09:04 |
| Rumen | There is also free browser - download for Linux | 09:05 |
| lotuspsychje | yes, but the ubuntu volunteers cant really help much with external supported packages | 09:05 |
| Rumen | https://www.ghostery.com/dawn | 09:06 |
| Rumen | https://i.imgur.com/A4VOpnc.png | 09:07 |
| lotuspsychje | Rumen: did you read their FAQ right under /dawn url? | 09:08 |
| Rumen | YEs most of it. Do you see something I didn't noticed? | 09:09 |
| lotuspsychje | howto install on linux | 09:10 |
| Rumen | If you mean that I run it - nothing happened | 09:10 |
| Rumen | https://i.imgur.com/1irOyKq.png | 09:10 |
| ThinkT510 | their dawn browser seems to just be a preconfigured firefox. why not use the officially supported firefox package and install the ghostery extension? | 09:12 |
| lotuspsychje | +1 | 09:12 |
| Rumen | they say it is more secure | 09:13 |
| lotuspsychje | run the extension on FF snap if you like | 09:13 |
| Rumen | OK I will try. Thanks! | 09:14 |

| asdwww | hey | 15:41 |
| oerheks | :-) | 15:42 |
| asdwww | when I access disks I see a bar "Connect to the server" | 15:42 |
| asdwww | how can i remove it? | 15:42 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: you mean in nautilus? | 15:43 |
| asdwww | yup | 15:43 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: not as a feature, no. But here's the source code for nautilus if you want to compile your own version https://github.com/GNOME/nautilus. | 15:44 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: why do you need to remove it? | 15:44 |
| asdwww | i dont need it | 15:44 |
| asdwww | so it's not an nautilus extension? I need to re-compile nautilus to disable it? | 15:45 |
| oerheks | yes, no tweak to hide it | 15:45 |
| asdwww | hmm, what about minimal ubuntu install? Does it contain nautilus too? | 15:46 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: I'm sure over 50% of the of the menu's and dialogs in any linux distribution you don't need. Do you plan on removing all of them? | 15:46 |
| asdwww | well I just need a linux distro which has: terminal, firefox, virtualbox, java - and basically that's all | 15:46 |
| asdwww | maybe i should just install minimum version of ubuntu? | 15:47 |
| asdwww | and install the mentioned ones? | 15:47 |
| asdwww | is there any list of what packages ubuntu-desktop and minimal install contains? | 15:47 |
| oerheks | THis post gives a clue, but only about connected/previous connected services ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata >>https://askubuntu.com/questions/1284524/ubuntu-20-04-1-how-to-remove-network-file-sharing-location-on-nautilus-under-ot | 15:48 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: ubuntu minimal is ubuntu server with packages removed | 15:48 |
| asdwww | oerheks thanks | 15:48 |
| asdwww | leftyfb where can i check what ubuntu server contains then? | 15:49 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: what's the use case of this stripped down machine? | 15:49 |
| oerheks | server almost contains nothing, no ssh-service, no webservice.. | 15:50 |
| asdwww | the less packages, the more secure it is, isn't it? | 15:50 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: no | 15:50 |
| oerheks | no. | 15:50 |
| asdwww | hmm, why? | 15:51 |
| asdwww | like why no | 15:51 |
| oerheks | no active firewall, no secure login | 15:52 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: for one, applications like apparmor, polkit and iptables being removed is less secure | 15:52 |
| asdwww | ohh, so these all are too removed in ubuntu server? | 15:52 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: again, what is the use case of this machine? | 15:52 |
| asdwww | just a simple machine to browse internet | 15:53 |
| asdwww | and serving as a host, when from time to time i'll be using virtualbox on it | 15:53 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: there are only 2 types of truly secure computers. 1. powered off and locked away. 2. a machine you have actively made secure. There's no such thing as a truly secure machine period and certainly none that are ready out of the box | 15:54 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: removing "connect to server" from nautilus will not make the machine any more secure then leaving it there | 15:54 |
| asdwww | but the less attack surface (less packages), the better? | 15:54 |
| leftyfb | not really, no | 15:55 |
| asdwww | hmm, maybe you are right | 15:56 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: just install ubuntu, put it behind a decent router and don't do anything stupid with it and you'll be just fine | 15:56 |
| axsuul | Hello. I'm trying to get QuickSync working on Ubuntu 20.04 but can't get it to load properly. `/dev/dri` only contains card0 but not renderD128. I have ensured i965-va-driver is installed. `vainfo` returns `error: can't connect to X server!`. Any suggestions? | 15:56 |
| axsuul | I have verified it's enabled in BIOS | 15:57 |
| asdwww | ok, but i have two more questions then | 15:59 |
| oerheks | axsuul, what howto are you using? | 15:59 |
| asdwww | WHen i right click on the folder, i see "Local Network Share", does that mean samba is pre-installed on ubuntu? | 16:00 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: no | 16:00 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: not samba server, but the client can connect to smb/cifs shares | 16:00 |
| axsuul | oerheks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo | 16:01 |
| axsuul | sprinkled with various other articles | 16:01 |
| oerheks | intel-media-va-driver-non-free and intel-media-va-driver are all you need, AFAIK | 16:01 |
| asdwww | but when i right-click on "Local Network Share" I can see "Share this folder" option. How's that possible? Client cannot share a folder | 16:01 |
| oerheks | asdwww, it is just a portal, could be smb or nfs.. | 16:02 |
| oerheks | not configured = no security hole | 16:02 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: last I checked a couple years ago, it wants to use DAV for "sharing". Though back then I filed a bug that didn't actually have the necessary packages installed in order to do it. Not sure if it's been resolved | 16:02 |
| asdwww | ok, you are right, when i click "share this folder", fresh ubuntu install says i need to install windows network sharing service | 16:03 |
| asdwww | so it seems like samba is not installed | 16:03 |
| axsuul | oerheks: is there another command I can run to verify it's enabled properly? running `lshw -C video` also doesn't return anything showing i965 is enabled | 16:03 |
| oerheks | vainfo | 16:04 |
| asdwww | apt-get remove nautilus-share ( is this a correct way to remove that position from my righ-click)? | 16:04 |
| leftyfb | axsuul: why do you think you need "QuickSync"? | 16:04 |
| axsuul | oerheks: `vainfo` should still work even ssh'd? | 16:04 |
| axsuul | leftyfb: It's just nice to have, since transcoding spikes my CPU when using Plex | 16:04 |
| leftyfb | axsuul: video performance/feature debug tools should be run locally, not over ssh | 16:05 |
| asdwww | ok, it seems that nautilus-share was that. But as you said - it's just a package for listing "Local Network Share" on my right-click? It was not an actual sharing package, right? | 16:08 |
| lotuspsychje | asdwww: check all the nautilus tweaks in dconf-editor, if what you need isnt there... | 16:09 |
| oerheks | asdwww, nope, still figuring out ? | 16:09 |
| asdwww | lotuspsychje I checked all nautilus via dpkg -l, what's the difference? | 16:10 |
| asdwww | oerheks yeah, so what exactly is nautilus-share | 16:10 |
| oerheks | asdwww, at least install gufw, and enable firewall | 16:10 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: apt-cache show nautilus-share | 16:11 |
| oerheks | nautilus is filemanager, share is share | 16:11 |
| asdwww | OK, so please tell me if I understand this correctly. | 16:12 |
| asdwww | WHen I right click on the folder in nautilus, I see "Local Network Share" option. The nautilus-share is just a package, which displays that option (so i can quicky share a folder), but it does not create a share. It's just like a shortcut to share a folder, right? | 16:13 |
| oerheks | asdwww, it is just a portal, for sharing | 16:13 |
| oerheks | not setup, but you can | 16:13 |
| asdwww | ANd when I do not have samba installed (which, in a fresh install, I dont have), I cannot share folders. By removing nautilus-share, I've just removed that "Local Network Share" option in the menu | 16:14 |
| asdwww | oerheks I dont understand the word "portal" in this context | 16:14 |
| asdwww | portal like a shortcut? Position in the menu which redirects me to the different service, which does the sharing work? | 16:15 |
| === ctrlbreak_MAD is now known as ctrlbreak | ||
| oerheks | if you don't like to share, let it be | 16:15 |
| asdwww | i dont want to have sharing capabilities in my machine | 16:16 |
| asdwww | so why should i let it be? | 16:16 |
| oerheks | because removal is such a hard job | 16:16 |
| oerheks | and not configured means not exploitable. | 16:16 |
| asdwww | Ohh, I see, but I can I at least remove this "portal" to sharing. So when i right-click on the folder I wont see "Local Share" option? | 16:17 |
| asdwww | I believe this is exactly nautilus-share ? | 16:18 |
| asdwww | right? | 16:18 |
| axsuul | oerheks: do you know if `renderD128` is required in /dev/dri in order for QuickSync to work? | 16:18 |
| badehose | hallo, kennt sich jemand mit Delta.Chat aus? | 16:19 |
| oerheks | axsuul, no idea there | 16:19 |
| oerheks | badehose, this is ubuntu support | 16:20 |
| asdwww | and last question, when I right click on any folder, I see "revert version" what exactly is that? | 16:22 |
| oerheks | i have never seen "revert version" | 16:24 |
| ioria | a deja-dup thing , i guess | 16:27 |

| oerheks | NodeRelay, you might want to upgrade to 21.10, maybe your issue is fixed? | 16:46 |
| ioria | asdwww, can you share your /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 16:46 |
| jhutchins | NodeRelay: xubuntu is just ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome. | 16:46 |
| MrCollinsGA | hey can someone have a look at this, I am lost in permissions. What am I missing? :) https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/raw/enubelutog | 16:47 |
| asdwww | yeah gimmie a sec | 16:47 |
| jhutchins | NodeRelay: If it freezes while unattended, and you're not running anything in the background, it could very well be hardware. | 16:47 |

| oerheks | oh | 16:47 |
| NodeRelay | Sorry, 21.10 is what I have | 16:48 |
| jhutchins | MrCollinsGA: Note the absence of write permissions. | 16:48 |
| NodeRelay | Already updated | 16:48 |
| MrCollinsGA | jhutchins, but I did a sudo? | 16:49 |
| GSMarquis | Is Gnome integration with online accounts in particular Google broken? | 16:49 |
| NodeRelay | jhutchins: Yeah I dont have much going but next time I leave it im gonna quit everything and see | 16:49 |
| asdwww | ioria https://pastebin.com/Rtn9JP5n | 16:49 |
| NodeRelay | But I dont know what could be faulty in hardware | 16:49 |
| NodeRelay | Only thing I can think is the GPU right | 16:49 |
| NodeRelay | But then it would act weird | 16:50 |
| ioria | asdwww, that's not from a regular ubuntu desktop iso; maybe a debootstrap or something | 16:50 |
| asdwww | ioria can you show me how a correct sourcelist looks like? | 16:50 |
| === Syntax-1 is now known as Syntax- | ||
| oerheks | asdwww, so you are not running ubuntu ..? | 16:51 |
| NodeRelay | Idea behind using Xubuntu is if it is GNOME | 16:52 |
| ioria | asdwww, kinda like this : https://termbin.com/4l8a | 16:52 |
| asdwww | oerheks I do | 16:52 |
| NodeRelay | I looked in syslog before and it was some startx error so I dont know | 16:52 |
| NodeRelay | And also sometimes it will get super slow | 16:52 |
| NodeRelay | Just before it crashes | 16:52 |
| NodeRelay | And then I can do ALT+CTRL+F1 to log out and log in again maybe | 16:52 |
| asdwww | but why is my sourcelist different? | 16:53 |
| ioria | asdwww, i suggest to explore /var/log/installer/ | 16:54 |
| asdwww | ok, i'll reinstall it once again, it will be quicker then debugging | 16:55 |
| asdwww | so by default i should have "unievrse" in sourcelist, right? | 16:55 |
| oerheks | your sourceslist is sparce, without comments and such | 16:55 |
| asdwww | that's the whole content of it | 16:56 |
| asdwww | i dont have anything else there | 16:57 |
| ioria | asdwww, yes, multiverse too (and partner but commented ) | 16:57 |
| === ssh-agent is now known as Agent | ||
| oerheks | original usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list | 16:58 |
| oerheks | without multiverse | 16:58 |
| asdwww | it's the same as mine in /etc :o | 16:59 |
| oerheks | then you do not run ubuntu . | 17:00 |

| asdwww | https://termbin.com/vqvd | 17:05 |
| asdwww | so why are you saying it's not ubuntu | 17:06 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: sorry, I just rejoined, what is the issue again? | 17:07 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: besides whether it's ubuntu or not. It looks like it to me | 17:07 |
| asdwww | leftyfb I got fres ubuntu install and my sourcelist looks like this: https://pastebin.com/Rtn9JP5n | 17:08 |
| asdwww | we're wondering why there's no universe there, it should be by default | 17:08 |
| asdwww | *fresh | 17:08 |
| leftyfb | it was modified at some point | 17:09 |
| leftyfb | either manually or by a script or you're running a modified version of ubuntu | 17:09 |
| asdwww | it's fresh install, how so | 17:09 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: how did you install it? | 17:10 |
| leftyfb | where did you download the iso from? | 17:10 |
| asdwww | downloaded .iso from ubuntu website | 17:10 |
| leftyfb | not sure what to tell you but that doesn't look stock to me | 17:10 |
| asdwww | http://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ | 17:11 |
| ioria | a daily build ? can you tell the name of the iso file ? asdwww | 17:11 |
| leftyfb | stock has comments and deb-src | 17:11 |
| asdwww | http://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso | 17:11 |
| asdwww | it was this one | 17:11 |
| asdwww | can you show me how source list should look like on a fresh install? | 17:12 |
| asdwww | i'll redownload and reinstall | 17:12 |
| asdwww | just wanna make sure that it's correct right now | 17:12 |
| ioria | asdwww, maybe there is an explanation | 17:12 |
| ioria | asdwww, you selected the 'minimal install' in the menu | 17:12 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: either way, this is a sources.list from one of my machines. Feel free to go with this or some subset of it https://termbin.com/jggv | 17:13 |
| asdwww | thanks! | 17:13 |
| ioria | asdwww, you selected this option https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/ubuntu-18-04-minimal-install-option | 17:14 |
| asdwww | hmm, ok, that might be it! | 17:14 |
| asdwww | ok, so i'll create a full ubuntu install | 17:14 |
| Maik | ioria: selecting a minimal install shouldn't affect the sources list | 17:14 |
| Maik | afaik | 17:14 |
| Maik | minimal install just installs basic apps | 17:15 |
| Maik | and a web browser | 17:15 |
| asdwww | ok guys, i'll reinstall it once again and be back later, thanks for your help! | 17:15 |
| asdwww | ohh, one more question (last) | 17:15 |
| asdwww | when i'll be installing nemo (instead of nautilus) | 17:15 |
| asdwww | how should i remove the old file manager? | 17:15 |
| oerheks | hmm indeed, minimal really changed stuff https://askubuntu.com/questions/1062167/why-is-the-apt-sources-different-between-a-minimal-and-desktop-install | 17:16 |
| oerheks | weird | 17:16 |
| oerheks | one should be warned for this. | 17:16 |
| ioria | well, honestly i never did so i can't tell | 17:17 |
| zenof | is there a channel where I can get help on rsync? | 17:18 |
| asdwww | btw, speaking of file managers. Is there any linux command which I can see which file manager im currently using? | 17:19 |
| leftyfb | asdwww: click on the help -> about of the file manager you are using | 17:20 |

| rorym | i'm trying to find a way to cast TO my desktop. if i start watching a video on my phone, i want to be able to finish it on my ubuntu box. i've tried google but i could only find how to cast from linux, not to linux | 17:24 |
| asdwww | ok, gotta go, thank you all for yourh elp! | 17:24 |
| asdwww | your help | 17:24 |
| rorym | any help would be appreciated. thanks | 17:25 |
| zenof | okay, now asking here: I need the opposite of rsync's --safe-links option, as I want symlinks in the source that point outside the tree to be resolved/followed to actual dirs, but those that are inside the tree (or relative) to be copied as symlinks. | 17:25 |
| oerheks | rorym, install google chrome, and you can cast to your desktop too | 17:27 |
| oerheks | * from android | 17:27 |
| leftyfb | rorym: just go to your history in youtube.com on your desktop. | 17:28 |
| leftyfb | oerheks: you sure that works? No casting application I have on any of my devices shows google chrome running in my laptop as a casting destination | 17:29 |
| rorym | i didn't even mention youtube | 17:29 |
| oerheks | leftyfb, i do, nly when logged in with google | 17:29 |
| rorym | oerheks, can you point me to what you mean? i'm only finding casting from chrome, not to chrome | 17:29 |
| leftyfb | oerheks: I am | 17:29 |
| oerheks | https://imgur.com/gallery/CSC3VMj | 17:31 |
| oerheks | it is a bit hidden, not an icon on the adress bar | 17:31 |
| leftyfb | oerheks: that is casting FROM the desktop, not to | 17:31 |
| oerheks | wait, how do i make a photo of my phone.. | 17:31 |
| oerheks | open youtube, start movie, then swipe top down, cast, remember bell, magnify glass appear | 17:32 |
| rorym | who mentioned youtube?? lol | 17:33 |
| oerheks | other streams can do this too, AFAIK | 17:33 |
| oerheks | as long as it is opened in a google application | 17:33 |
| leftyfb | rorym: you're talking about casting, which is generally a google thing. youtube is a great way to test out what does and doesn't working using their protocol regardless if which other apps support it | 17:34 |
| leftyfb | regardless, I do not think google chrome on the desktop, at least not for linux supports running as a casting server/destination | 17:34 |
| oerheks | https://www.nfb.ca/film/shameless_propaganda/ gives a cast icon too | 17:36 |
| oerheks | * as long as you open such site in a google app | 17:36 |
| oerheks | so, it is not limited to youtube | 17:37 |
| leftyfb | oerheks: there is no casting TO the desktop FROM a mobile device | 17:37 |
| leftyfb | oh, there is using WFD from Android to Windows 10 | 17:39 |
| leftyfb | but nothing to do with normal casting | 17:39 |
| leftyfb | https://support.honeywellaidc.com/s/article/Android-Cast-Mirror-the-screen-to-a-PC-TV-or-Chromecast | 17:39 |
| oerheks | yes there is.. a bit blurry .. https://imgur.com/gallery/2qxtwFr | 17:40 |
| leftyfb | I don't know what we're looking at there | 17:42 |
| oerheks | in the white "youtube cast icon, bell, magnify glass" | 17:42 |

| r3tt | hey | 18:50 |
| r3tt | Can I completely remove snaps from Ubuntu? I just wanna install every package via apt-get install | 18:51 |
| r3tt | instead of using snaps | 18:51 |
| leftyfb | r3tt: not if you want gnome and/or firefox | 18:51 |
| leftyfb | r3tt: why don't you want to use snaps? | 18:52 |
| r3tt | it's slower | 18:52 |
| r3tt | unsecure (not sure who created snap before installing it) | 18:52 |
| leftyfb | r3tt: it is more secure | 18:52 |
| r3tt | takes more disk size | 18:52 |
| leftyfb | also not true | 18:53 |
| r3tt | well, it's less secure on the concept basis, as everyone can be publisher | 18:53 |
| r3tt | and you can accidently download malicious snap from someone | 18:53 |
| r3tt | with apt-get you dont have this problem | 18:53 |
| leftyfb | r3tt: don't "accidently" install a snap from an unknown publisher | 18:54 |
| r3tt | a stupid typo can even make that | 18:54 |
| === veemo is now known as VeemOfASus | ||
| r3tt | and it's impossible to do that via apt-get | 18:54 |
| leftyfb | r3tt: ok, good luck | 18:54 |
| r3tt | so in my opinion, snap is less secure | 18:55 |
| leftyfb | r3tt: there are other linux distributions that do not use or rely on snaps. Good luck | 18:55 |
| r3tt | why do you mean that uninstalling snap means i wont be able to use firefox? | 18:55 |
| leftyfb | r3tt: in the recent versions of ubuntu, firefox is only available via snap, not apt | 18:56 |
| leftyfb | same with gnome | 18:56 |
| r3tt | ohh, i see | 18:56 |
| r3tt | ok then, thank you! | 18:56 |

| GSMarquis | Where does Ubuntu store the information from the integrated "Online Accounts" in gnome. | 21:05 |
| oerheks | in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata | 21:06 |
| zenof | now, after trying a lot, did I get this right: 'rsync -l --copy-unsafe-links src dest' does resolve symlinks that point outside src-tree while keeping symlinks as symlinks if they point to something inside src-tree AND are relative?! | 21:12 |
| zenof | another one: I have an ext4-fs inside an encrypted block device that and I was used to be able to mount via gvfs-mount (eg nautilus), thus unlocking and mounting in one go. now, this fails. however I am able to unlock it manually and doing an fsck on that file-system says that the physical size was exactly one block smaller than the file-system that lives in it (according to the superblock) . What are possible causes and how to fix that? does it mean | 21:49 |
| zenof | simply one block died? | 21:49 |
| axsuul | I'm on 20.04 and have an Intel Rocket Lake CPU w/ QuickSync. My issue is I'm currently unable to get QuickSync working, suspecting maybe my driver doesn't support my CPU. It looks like this is the driver `intel-vaa-driver` that corresponds to the Intel CPUs but Rocket Lake doesn't look like it's supported (I also checked 21.04 and it's also the same). Do I need to look for another driver? Here is `intel-vaa-driver` https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-unive | 21:52 |

| huntertur | Glad to know spambots still exist on IRC | 22:53 |
| mybalzitch | oh yes, they haven't gone anywhere | 22:54 |
| jhutchins | axsuul: What's your actual goal? What are you trying to accomplish" | 23:18 |
| jhutchins | ? | 23:19 |
| axsuul | jhutchins: To get QuickSync working in Ubuntu. However I believe the issue is that I need to run at least 21.04 since I have a Rocket Lake CPU and 20.04 doesn't support it | 23:19 |
| jhutchins | Yes, but what are you trying to DO with it? | 23:19 |
| axsuul | jhutchins : Ah sorry, use hardware transcoding in Plex :) | 23:19 |
| axsuul | jhutchins: Referring to this repo I found, it mentions that 21.04 is needed: https://github.com/jjarthur/media-box#jellyfin | 23:20 |
| jhutchins | axsuul: Ah, there we go. You expect it to go more slowly without "QuickSync"? | 23:20 |
| axsuul | Yep I have a few friends who use my Plex server and whenever they transcode is spikes my CPU, so hardware encoding would ease the load | 23:21 |
| jhutchins | Well, that IS the reason you're paying for the CPU; for it to do work. | 23:23 |
| jhutchins | It looks like this should have found it's way into the kernel though. | 23:23 |
| jhutchins | Have you checked with kernel.org to see when support entered the mainstream builds? | 23:23 |
| axsuul | jhutchins : I haven't although I'm not familiar with kernels, sorry. What should I be looking for? | 23:25 |
| jhutchins | axsuul: Well, I would guess mention/discussion of QuickSync, changlog entries, options in the kernel config files... | 23:26 |
| axsuul | or would it be easier just to update the kernel and see if it works? | 23:27 |
| axsuul | Ah just stumbled upon this thread, this looks like it applies to me: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/ms28mk/getting_any_linux_distro_to_work_using_latest/ | 23:29 |
| jhutchins | axsuul: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo | 23:30 |
| axsuul | jhutchins : thanks, I have gone through that article before and have tried all the steps. Unfortunately `vainfo` returns `error: can't connect to X server!` still, unless I'm missing something | 23:31 |
| axsuul | also, `/dev/dri` is missing renderD128 | 23:32 |
| jhutchins | axsuul: It doesn't look like it should be a kernel issue with any recent kernel. More likely to be the capabilities of the tools and utilities you're using. | 23:33 |
| jhutchins | axsuul: Are you on standard x86 Intel hardware? | 23:34 |
| axsuul | jhutchins : yep on standard hardware | 23:35 |
| jhutchins | You'd obviously want Intel graphics... | 23:35 |
| axsuul | jhutchins : I did find this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1905466 | 23:35 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1905466 in linux (Ubuntu Hirsute) "drm/i915: Drop force_probe requirement for Rocket Lake" [Medium, Fix Released] | 23:35 |
| jhutchins | I would expect that the video driver would be an essential piece of the picture. | 23:36 |
| jhutchins | axsuul: It would seem like the current kernel should be compatible. All I can suggest it to continue to seek documentation for your particular chipset, even on other distros just to get clues. | 23:40 |
| axsuul | jhutchins : does current kernel mean the latest stable kernel version? I'm on 5.4.0 | 23:47 |
| axsuul | Looks like my kernel is super old | 23:57 |
| axsuul | I guess it doesn't hurt to do a `apt get-install linux-generic-hwe-20.04` to upgrade it? | 23:58 |
