[00:15] <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
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <oerheks> then virtual box is the culprit?
[00:21] <orbisvicis> oerheks, I would think so, but it does work fine in vlc
[00:21] <oerheks> yeah, good point
[00:23] <orbisvicis> might be this? https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18725
[00:23] <orbisvicis> does cheese use gstreamer?
[00:24] <oerheks> yes, i think so
[00:44] <orbisvicis> oerheks, yeah I checked the logs and seems to be the exact same problem
[01:25] <webchat546> Hello?
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <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 :

[01:29] <leftyfb> !paste | webchat546
[01:29] <sarnold> oh wow. /dev/mem hasn't been writable for *ages*
[01:29] <sarnold> decade? more?>
[01:30] <leftyfb> sarnold: they got the command from a forum post from 10 years ago
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <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/ ?
[01:33] <webchat546> I was creating my account in background sorry
[01:33] <webchat546> im looking at it
[01:34] <webchat546> Will I be able to bind a script to a key ?
[01:34] <webchat546> with this
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <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
[01:37] <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 ?
[01:38] <sem> xset dpms force off
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <sem> oh i forgot no gui
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <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 :)
[01:46] <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
[01:47] <webchat546> I dont know ?
[01:47] <webchat546> I just installed ubuntu server yesterday and followed everything they said
[01:48] <rfm> If the TERM environment variable were set somehow to xterm )despite being on a console) this would result...
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <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
[01:53] <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
[01:54] <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
[02:05] <BlackDalek> Hello. I can't get wifi card detected on Acer Apsire 5 laptop. No wifi hardware available. How do I fix this?
[02:06] <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 :)
[02:07] <BlackDalek> sarnold, there is a wifi on/off key on keyboard if that's what you mean, but it is on.
[02:07] <sarnold> hehe dang, I was hoping for an easy win
[02:10] <sem> ndiswrappper?
[02:17] <BlackDalek> I got disconnected
[02:17] <BlackDalek> I have an Acer Aspire 5 laptop (model a515-56-
[02:18] <BlackDalek> I have an Acer Aspire 5 laptop (model a515-56-706u) and just installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I can't get wifi hardware detected . How do I fix wifi?
[02:19] <orange1> if you can plug it in wifi driver might show up in drivers
[02:20] <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?
[02:35] <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?
[02:36] <orange1> did you sudo apt upgrade everything yet?
[02:37] <BlackDalek> orange1, yes. everything is up to date
[02:39] <orange1> what does sudo lshw -class network say
[02:40] <BlackDalek> orange1, it shows https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2ns6ZS5xc4/
[02:41] <orange1> i cant read it i have to sign up for it
[02:42] <orange1> just trying to see brand of wifi is in there
[02:42] <BlackDalek> orange1... hold on I try another pastebin site
[02:43] <BlackDalek> orange1, https://pastebin.com/xQGm2kRk
[02:43] <BlackDalek> did that work?
[02:44] <orange1> yeah, what does uname -a say
[02:44] <BlackDalek> orange1, it says... Linux john-Aspire-A515-56 5.11.0-44-generic #48~20.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 14 15:36:44 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:45] <orange1> that wifi works in kernel versions 5.12 and up
[02:46] <BlackDalek> orange1, how do I get kernel 5.12 installed properly?
[02:48] <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
[02:50] <BlackDalek> If I install a mainline kernel to fix the wifi, does that mean everything else will be broken?
[02:54] <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
[02:56] <Bashing-om> ^^ Humm that does not jive with "apt" :(
[02:58] <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
[03:00] <Bashing-om> rfm: In regards to ' apt list linux-generic-hwe-20.04 ' result.
[03:01] <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
[03:02] <BlackDalek> Is this in relation to my no wifi/kernel upgrade problem?
[03:03] <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
[03:07] <BlackDalek> sarnold, ok. I will try it and see what this breaks next.
[03:08] <Bashing-om> BlackDalek: One will need to do ^ on a fully updated system :)
[03:31] <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?
[03:32] <tomreyn> iptables is a kernel module, not actually a service
[03:32] <tomreyn> or a set of kernel modules rather
[03:33] <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
[03:34] <tomreyn> and there is actually an iptables.service unit?
[03:35] <tomreyn> no there is not
[03:35] <dman777> hmm... how does service iptables status return data?
[03:36] <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?
[03:37] <dman777> sarnold: no
[03:37] <tomreyn> systemctl status iptables.service      should tell whether it's a systemd service unit
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <dman777> jkc: deprecated in linux or just in ubuntu?
[03:39] <sarnold> dman777: deprecated in linux, ubuntu hasn't switched to nftables yet
[03:40] <dman777> oh wow
[03:41] <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? :)
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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] <jkc> !shrug
[03:43] <dman777> tomreyn: so iptables is more like a wrapper in this case?
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <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?
[03:46] <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)?
[03:47] <tomreyn> dman777: how do you mean "iptables is being applied"?
[03:49] <dman777> tomreyn: yes
[03:51] <tomreyn> dman777: can you explain what you expect to happen when you say "certain iptables is being applied"
[03:52] <dman777> the packets being blocked or routed through netfilter according to the rules set by iptables
[03:52] <ChompChomp> alis
[03:54] <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.
[03:55] <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)
[04:11] <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] <soundwave[m]> The virtual machine start, and is completely inaccessible.
[06:05] <Sumao> Hi
[06:08] <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).
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Sumao: a question for #hardware perhaps?
[06:32] <Sumao> ok
[06:53] <node1> Hi
[06:53] <node1> Can i get a support for wacom pen tablet here?
[06:56] <tomreyn> node1: maybe, just ask.
[06:57] <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.
[06:58] <node1> I have connected my `one by wacom` in USB , but it looks nothing appears.
[06:59] <tomreyn> try a different usb port
[07:00] <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
[07:01] <tomreyn> so, does it work, yet?
[07:02] <node1> I can't see anything on screen
[07:04] <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)]
[07:06] <tomreyn> dmesg|grep -i wacom| nc termbin.com 9999
[07:08] <tomreyn> and make sure you have xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed
[07:11] <node1> it looks the given documentation does not work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom/LatestDriver
[07:12] <node1> This repository does not respond doctormo/wacom-plus
[07:12] <tomreyn> "Wacom/LatestDriver (last edited 2015-11-28 18:30:17[...]"
[07:13] <tomreyn> it's probably outdated
[07:14] <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
[07:15] <node1> dmesg does not have any output related to string `wacom`
[07:16] <tomreyn> that's surprising, since the device was enumerated and is listed by lsusb
[07:17] <ELQEYNN> On some of the installed programs, the icon stays in Activities. It doesn't let me put it on the desktop screen
[07:18] <ELQEYNN> Is a right click supposed to give me the option of uptting it on the desktop?
[07:20] <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.
[07:21] <tomreyn> also xorg vs xwaylaynd can make a difference
[07:21] <tomreyn> * xwayland
[07:25] <ELQEYNN> ubuntu version 21.20
[07:26] <tomreyn> there's no such version. try    lsb_release -ds   in a terminal
[07:27] <tomreyn> or Settings -> Details
[07:28] <ELQEYNN> 21.10 (impish indri) according to /etc/os-release
[07:28] <tomreyn> ok, and this defaults to xwayland
[07:29] <tomreyn> i'll ake a look in a vm
[07:30] <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
[07:31] <tomreyn> so i don't think that's meant to work
[07:32] <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
[07:33] <ELQEYNN> in the Desktop directory?
[07:33] <Gallomimia> systemd update. how scary
[07:34] <tomreyn> ELQEYNN: possibly so, i have not tried this
[07:35] <ELQEYNN> Gallomimia, what is scary about systemd?
[07:35] <Gallomimia> well if it's being update.....
[07:35] <Gallomimia> what could possibly go wrong?
[07:38] <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
[07:39] <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
[07:40] <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
[07:41] <Gallomimia> the devs at nvidia can't reproduce it.. i think i'm going to have to downgrade drivers
[07:44] <tomreyn> i don't know much about nvidia graphics drivers. there's a good chance that i misinterpreted something, but i couldn't tell now since i do not remember what this is about.
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <tomreyn> did you try #ffmpeg ?
[08:24] <Nobrem> tomreyn, everyone's idling there
[08:24] <tomreyn> how long did you wait?
[08:25] <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.
[08:26] <Nobrem> however that may be... is anyone here, in this channel, who can help?
[08:27] <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
[08:29] <Nobrem> tomreyn, I might be getting help in #linux
[08:29] <Nobrem> tomreyn, looks like somebody just started a conversation with me
[08:30] <tomreyn> very well, good luck.
[08:34] <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?
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <tomreyn> i don't think this is really ubuntu specific enough to have a chance to be solved here.
[08:38] <Nobrem> sorry I just wrote the last few lines in the wrong channel
[08:56] <Rumen> Good morning!
[08:56] <lotuspsychje> welcome Rumen
[08:56] <lotuspsychje> how can we help you today
[08:57] <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
[08:58] <Rumen> from termonal I start it with ./Ghostery
[08:59] <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
[09:00] <lotuspsychje> Rumen: where did you get your app from? i dont see it in snaps or apt as package
[09:01] <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
[09:03] <ThinkT510> it seems to be an extension for the major browsers: https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension
[09:04] <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^
[09:05] <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
[09:06] <Rumen> https://www.ghostery.com/dawn
[09:07] <Rumen> https://i.imgur.com/A4VOpnc.png
[09:08] <lotuspsychje> Rumen: did you read their FAQ right under /dawn url?
[09:09] <Rumen> YEs most of it. Do you see something I didn't noticed?
[09:10] <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
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <Rumen> they say it is more secure
[09:13] <lotuspsychje> run the extension on FF snap if you like
[09:14] <Rumen> OK I will try. Thanks!
[10:29] <olivier_> slt
[10:30] <olivier_> il y a qqun???
[10:30] <olivier_> oui
[10:30] <Nobrem> olivier_, that's an english-speaking channel
[10:31] <Nobrem> olivier_, try #ubuntu-fr
[10:31] <olivier_> yes
[12:41] <ericus> Hi all!
[12:41] <lotuspsychje> welcome ericus
[12:41] <ericus> Strange problem with a fresh install of Ubuntu, pavucontrol mutes Spotify if I watch youtube or other things with sound, any ideas why=
[12:41] <ericus> ?
[12:42] <oerheks> conveniance, not to mess 2 sources
[12:43] <oerheks> maybe there is a setting in that proprietary blob?
[12:43] <ericus> inconveniance I'd say
[12:43] <ericus> it always worked before reinstalling
[12:45] <ericus> I can manually unmute it and use both sources
[12:46] <nomercy> [15:41] <ericus> Strange problem with a fresh install of Ubuntu, pavucontrol mutes Spotify if I watch youtube or other things with sound, any ideas why=
[12:47] <nomercy> isnt that right :o
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> no need to repeating nomercy
[12:47] <ericus> It muted spotify from the push notification from thelounge just now when you highlighted me..
[12:48] <ericus> so no, it's not fine
[12:48] <oerheks> normally i would install a snap to see the settings, but not spotify
[13:32] <oerheks> jay-m126 why 3 inlogs again ?
[13:32] <oerheks> and again..
[13:49] <Maik> jay-m126: fix your connection please
[14:08] <ericus> oerheks: (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
[14:09] <ericus> so everyone in IT, did you also have fun with log4j?

[14:19] <derek_> its sooooo long
[14:33] <Maik> derek_: would be best to ask in #libera the next time, this is a ubuntu support channel
[14:38] <derek_> yeah i get it...
[14:38] <derek_> not that anyone is using it....... but i get it
[15:09] <elcot> elcot
[15:09] <elcot> run
[15:41] <asdwww> hey
[15:42] <oerheks> :-)
[15:42] <asdwww> when I access disks I see a bar "Connect to the server"
[15:42] <asdwww> how can i remove it?
[15:43] <leftyfb> asdwww: you mean in nautilus?
[15:43] <asdwww> yup
[15:44] <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
[15:45] <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
[15:46] <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
[15:47] <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?
[15:48] <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
[15:49] <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?
[15:50] <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.
[15:51] <asdwww> hmm, why?
[15:51] <asdwww> like why no
[15:52] <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?
[15:53] <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
[15:54] <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?
[15:55] <leftyfb> not really, no
[15:56] <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?
[15:57] <axsuul> I have verified it's enabled in BIOS
[15:59] <asdwww> ok, but i have two more questions then
[15:59] <oerheks> axsuul, what howto are you using?
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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
[16:02] <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
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <leftyfb> axsuul: video performance/feature debug tools should be run locally, not over ssh
[16:08] <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?
[16:09] <lotuspsychje> asdwww: check all the nautilus tweaks in dconf-editor, if what you need isnt there...
[16:09] <oerheks> asdwww, nope, still figuring out ?
[16:10] <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
[16:11] <leftyfb> asdwww: apt-cache show nautilus-share
[16:11] <oerheks> nautilus is filemanager, share is share
[16:12] <asdwww> OK, so please tell me if I understand this correctly.
[16:13] <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
[16:14] <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
[16:15] <asdwww> portal like a shortcut? Position in the menu which redirects me to the different service, which does the sharing work?
[16:15] <oerheks> if you don't like to share, let it be
[16:16] <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.
[16:17] <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?
[16:18] <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?
[16:19] <badehose> hallo, kennt sich jemand mit Delta.Chat aus?
[16:19] <oerheks> axsuul, no idea there
[16:20] <oerheks> badehose, this is ubuntu support
[16:22] <asdwww> and last question, when I right click on any folder, I see "revert version" what exactly is that?
[16:24] <oerheks> i have never seen   "revert version"
[16:27] <ioria> a deja-dup thing , i guess
[16:28] <oerheks> !ops | please ask ay-m126  to fix his connection, and join once
[16:28] <asdwww> oerheks when you right click on any folder?
[16:29] <oerheks> not on my system
[16:29] <asdwww> "Revert yo previous version"
[16:29] <ioria> it's a deja-dup  integration  asdwww
[16:30] <asdwww> ioria can i remove it? I dont want to even accidently create a backup
[16:30] <ioria> asdwww, why don't you just change file-manager ? :)
[16:31] <oerheks> maybe if you remove deja-dup, logout/login ?
[16:31] <ioria> asdwww, seriously... idk, maybe removing dejadup
[16:31] <oerheks> weird i do not have such option :-D
[16:31] <oerheks> must be a mint thiong, or pop-os
[16:32] <asdwww> ioria that might do the trick. Any recommendations?
[16:32] <asdwww> for different file-manager?
[16:32] <ioria> asdwww, nemo
[16:33] <ioria> !info nemo
[16:33] <asdwww> Unable to locate package nemo
[16:34] <asdwww> im on 20.04.3 LTS
[16:34] <ioria> asdwww, it's in universe; is it enabled ?
[16:35] <ioria> asdwww, apt-cache search nemo
[16:35] <ioria> asdwww, sorry, apt-cache policy nemo
[16:35] <asdwww> unable to locate
[16:36] <jhutchins> Suspect universe is not enabled.
[16:36] <asdwww> what is universe?
[16:36] <jhutchins> !universe
[16:37] <ioria> asdwww, probably you're using a custom /etc/apt/sourlist or such
[16:37] <asdwww> i just got a fresh ubuntu install
[16:37] <asdwww> focal main restricted
[16:37] <asdwww> thats in my sourcelist
[16:38] <kostkon> asdwww, you might as well paste its contents for us to see
[16:38] <kostkon> !paste
[16:38] <ioria> asdwww, fresh , ok; but of what edition ?
[16:38] <jhutchins> asdwww: As we suspected, universe is not there.  See the page linked above - READ it, you'll know what to do.
[16:39] <asdwww> ioria 20.04.3 LTS
[16:39] <ioria> asdwww, not version, edition ; or better what kind of installed did you use ?
[16:40] <ioria> *installer
[16:40] <jhutchins> Why does it matter?  All he has to do is enable universe.
[16:40] <asdwww> ioria how to check edition?
[16:40] <ioria> yes, sure; but that it's enabled by default
[16:40] <asdwww> jhutchins Ive added "universe" to my sourcelist
[16:40] <MrCollinsGA> if a nfs share has a group of 544 can sudo user copy files to it?  :)
[16:40] <jhutchins> asdwww: apt update && apt install nemo?
[16:41] <asdwww> yeah, got it
[16:41] <jhutchins> MrCollinsGA: Read permission allows you to copy.
[16:41] <MrCollinsGA> jhutchins, ok
[16:41] <MrCollinsGA> ty

[16:43] <NodeRelay> Hi, I have had Ubuntu randomly freeze on two different installs
[16:43] <asdwww> is this wrong?
[16:43] <ioria> asdwww, the full line, please
[16:43] <NodeRelay> 21.04
[16:44] <NodeRelay> REISUB doesnt work, ctrl + alt + del doesnt work
[16:44] <asdwww> ioria give me a second, got it on different machine, cannot just copy-paste
[16:44] <NodeRelay> If I leave the computer for a while it will happen
[16:44] <NodeRelay> "ibva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)" is the closest error message I can find on syslog
[16:45] <asdwww> ioria pastebin.com/fr0WJwzy
[16:45] <NodeRelay> I have no idea how to solve it, if I cant figure it out Im gonna try maybe Xubuntu. If that crash I think I have to change distro
[16:45] <asdwww> ioria https://pastebin.com/fr0WJwzy
[16:45] <jhutchins> Note that some systems include files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[16:46] <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.
[16:47] <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> !info metest86
[16:47] <oerheks> !info memtest86
[16:47] <oerheks> oh
[16:48] <NodeRelay> Sorry, 21.10 is what I have
[16:48] <jhutchins> MrCollinsGA: Note the absence of write permissions.
[16:48] <NodeRelay> Already updated
[16:49] <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
[16:50] <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?
[16:51] <oerheks> asdwww, so you are not running ubuntu ..?
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <asdwww> but why is my sourcelist different?
[16:54] <ioria> asdwww, i suggest to explore /var/log/installer/
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <asdwww> that's the whole content of it
[16:57] <asdwww> i dont have anything else there
[16:57] <ioria> asdwww, yes, multiverse too (and partner but commented )
[16:58] <oerheks> original usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list
[16:58] <oerheks> without multiverse
[16:59] <asdwww> it's the same as mine in /etc :o
[17:00] <oerheks> then you do not run ubuntu .

[17:03] <asdwww> leftyfb https://pastebin.com/RuhReN8z
[17:03] <leftyfb> asdwww: that isn't what I asked you to do, but ok
[17:03] <asdwww> that's etc/os-release content
[17:05] <asdwww> https://termbin.com/vqvd
[17:06] <asdwww> so why are you saying it's not ubuntu
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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
[17:12] <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
[17:13] <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!
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <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?
[17:16] <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.
[17:17] <ioria> well, honestly i never did so i can't tell
[17:18] <zenof> is there a channel where I can get help on rsync?
[17:19] <asdwww> btw, speaking of file managers. Is there any linux command which I can see which file manager im currently using?
[17:20] <leftyfb> asdwww: click on the help -> about of the file manager you are using
[17:20] <asdwww> im know it's nautilis right now, but just wondering if there's a way to check that
[17:20] <ELQEYNN> Are any of you using Dell Alienware?
[17:20] <ioria> asdwww, xdg-query
[17:20] <ioria> asdwww, xdg-mime query
[17:21] <asdwww> dont see help -> about, i mean it should GNOME Files
[17:21] <asdwww> let me check with xdg
[17:21] <asdwww> qyert type argument missing
[17:22] <leftyfb> ELQEYNN: please don't conduct surveys. Please just ask your Ubuntu support question
[17:23] <ioria> asdwww, xdg-mime query default inode/directory
[17:23] <asdwww> thank you
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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.
[17:27] <oerheks> rorym, install google chrome, and you can cast to your desktop too
[17:27] <oerheks> * from android
[17:28] <leftyfb> rorym: just go to your history in youtube.com on your desktop.
[17:29] <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
[17:31] <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..
[17:32] <oerheks> open youtube, start movie, then swipe top down, cast, remember bell, magnify glass appear
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <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
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <oerheks> so, it is not limited to youtube
[17:37] <leftyfb> oerheks: there is no casting TO the desktop FROM a mobile device
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <oerheks> yes there is.. a bit blurry .. https://imgur.com/gallery/2qxtwFr
[17:42] <leftyfb> I don't know what we're looking at there
[17:42] <oerheks> in the white "youtube      cast icon, bell, magnify glass"
[17:48] <oerheks> oh i see..
[17:48] <oerheks> indeed, this is gone.. https://www.osradar.com/how-to-cast-android-screen-in-ubuntu-18-04/

[17:56] <Luca> hi there, I need some help I'm a newby with ubuntu, I'm trying to install programs but it says something like "the following packages have unmet dependencies" how can I install programs?
[17:58] <oerheks> run a proper sudo apt update first.
[17:58] <oerheks> and better: sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade # to see in there are hidden updates waiting
[17:59] <oerheks> if that is not working, i wonder what software does that, fix; sudo apt install -f
[18:00] <Luca> it gives the same error
[18:01] <Luca> I'm trying to downlad amule from the software program
[18:02] <Luca> and it always says it has unmet dependencies
[18:03] <oerheks> !info emule
[18:03] <oerheks> is that donkey stuff still alive?
[18:03] <oerheks> !info amule
[18:04] <oerheks> Luca, what is the output it is missing?
[18:04] <oerheks> !paste
[18:07] <Luca> luca@luca-Compaq-Presario-CQ60-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install amule

[18:50] <r3tt> hey
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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
[18:53] <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
[18:54] <leftyfb> r3tt: don't "accidently" install a snap from an unknown publisher
[18:54] <r3tt> a stupid typo can even make that
[18:54] <r3tt> and it's impossible to do that via apt-get
[18:54] <leftyfb> r3tt: ok, good luck
[18:55] <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?
[18:56] <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!
[20:00] <oerheks> no snap, hop distro
[20:21] <poru> hi..
[20:35] <ken-ken> hello ..
[20:35] <ken-ken> anybody here
[20:37] <ken-ken> hmm
[20:39] <matsaman> ken-ken: probably someone is
[20:39] <ken-ken> hi matsaman
[20:39] <Maik> ken-ken: if you have a ubuntu support question just ask, offtopic chatter is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:41] <ken-ken> Maik: thank you, not now. i just try this irc. i am new in ubuntu
[20:42] <Maik> use the offtopic channel please if you want to try out irc and chat with others ken-ken
[20:43] <ken-ken> ok. thank you.
[21:05] <GSMarquis> Where does Ubuntu store the information from the integrated "Online Accounts" in gnome.
[21:06] <oerheks> in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata
[21:12] <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?!
[21:49] <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?
[21:52] <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

[22:52] <huntertur> thanks for kicking that user
[22:53] <krytarik> That was a network-wide ban though.
[22:53] <mybalzitch> that spam doesn't even make sense
[22:53] <huntertur> Ah, okay
[22:53] <huntertur> Yeah it was interesting O.o
[22:53] <huntertur> Glad to know spambots still exist on IRC
[22:54] <mybalzitch> oh yes, they haven't gone anywhere
[23:18] <jhutchins> axsuul: What's your actual goal? What are you trying to accomplish"
[23:19] <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 :)
[23:20] <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"?
[23:21] <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
[23:23] <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?
[23:25] <axsuul> jhutchins : I haven't although I'm not familiar with kernels, sorry. What should I be looking for?
[23:26] <jhutchins> axsuul: Well, I would guess mention/discussion of QuickSync, changlog entries, options in the kernel config files...
[23:27] <axsuul> or would it be easier just to update the kernel and see if it works?
[23:29] <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/
[23:30] <jhutchins> axsuul: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <axsuul> also, `/dev/dri` is missing renderD128
[23:33] <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.
[23:34] <jhutchins> axsuul: Are you on standard x86 Intel hardware?
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <jhutchins> I would expect that the video driver would be an essential piece of the picture.
[23:40] <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.
[23:47] <axsuul> jhutchins : does current kernel mean the latest stable kernel version? I'm on 5.4.0
[23:57] <axsuul> Looks like my kernel is super old
[23:58] <axsuul> I guess it doesn't hurt to do a `apt get-install linux-generic-hwe-20.04` to upgrade it?
