[00:24] <Dan92129> Hi all.    On  Ubuntu 20.04LTS   i  ran a sudo apt-get upgrade and got this error:    Err:1 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu focal InRelease
[00:24] <Dan92129>   The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 467B942D3A79BD29
[00:25] <Dan92129> and this:     Reading package lists... Done
[00:25] <Dan92129> W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu focal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 467B942D3A79BD29
[00:25] <Dan92129> W: Failed to fetch http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/dists/focal/InRelease  The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 467B942D3A79BD29
[00:26] <Dan92129> Does anyone know what causes this errors?
[00:26] <Dan92129> I saw this on a google search   https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/20911
[00:26] <Dan92129> LOL.   yeah i saw that  too
[00:27] <JackNJeal> Hi! Ubuntu 21.04 sudo dpkg - - configure - a | output: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
[00:27] <JackNJeal>  failed to fstat diversions file: Operation not permitted?
[00:27] <JackNJeal> how to fix that?
[00:28] <Dan92129> so is this my issue realated to my setup?   or is this a problem at the mysql.com repo
[00:30] <ravage> Dan92129: it is a problem with the repo. consult the documentation how to get the correct GPG key for it
[00:31] <ravage> possibly the command is: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 467B942D3A79BD29
[00:34] <ravage> JackNJeal: i never had that problem before but https://askubuntu.com/questions/100046/unable-to-install-any-packages-due-to-unrecoverable-fatal-error-var-lib-dpkg-di looks like it helped a few people
[00:34] <Dan92129> ok.   so the repo changed keys on us?    wow,  doesnt that break any of the "1-click"   images on VPS  farms.   they need to rebuild the image with new keys
[00:35] <Dan92129> basically ,  thats what im dealing with
[00:36] <Bashing-om> JackNJeal: 21.04 is now End_Of_Life - consider ASAP to upgrade to (21.10 ?) While the repo is still up for 21.04 try ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ' .
[00:43] <Dan92129> so,   something  like this.     sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 467B942D3A79BD29
[00:50] <Bashing-om> Dan92129: Me thinks ya got to go deeper >> ' gpg --search-key 467B942D3A79BD29 ' :(
[00:52] <ravage> the command works here.
[00:53] <Dan92129> thank  you
[00:59] <Bashing-om> ravage: Dan92129: Yeah :) ununtu server does hold the key ' gpg --search-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 467B942D3A79BD29 ' .
[01:01] <Dan92129> i tried the key addition,  it work.   then i redid the apt-get update  and that worked too
[01:01] <Dan92129> thank you
[01:04] <Dan92129> On a side note,    is it 'normal'  for a repo suchas mysql.com to go and change there public key?
[01:11] <ravage> Dan92129: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.7/en/news-5-7-37.html#mysqld-5-7-37-packaging
[01:15] <ravage> usually the repo should have shipped a new version of the mysql-apt package to import the new key before it expired
[01:15] <ravage> maybe they have. but thats really out of scope here as it is official ubuntu repo
[01:59] <SpeedrunnerG55> hello, whenever i try to use the activities search in ubuntu 20.04, it does not show any of its results. although it still works i cant see any of it.
[02:00] <rdr> SpeedrunnerG55: can you show a screenshot?  what exactly doesn't show?
[02:01] <SpeedrunnerG55> any results, let me ge a coupple screenshots

[02:05] <Guest8> Hi
[02:06] <SpeedrunnerG55> ive tried disableing all of my extentions, and it still shows nothing
[02:06] <Guest8> sg.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[02:06] <Guest8> Do you know whom whall i approach?
[02:08] <oerheks> try main in you r updates
[02:09] <rdr> SpeedrunnerG55: are you up to date?
[02:09] <oerheks> singapore, hmm?
[02:09] <Bashing-om> Guest8: Unknown at this time what is going on - My inept looking indicates the host country as Singapore - international politics at play ?
[02:10] <oerheks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors says up2date
[02:10] <oerheks> Bashing-om,  too soon, but noticably
[02:10] <SpeedrunnerG55> rdr: yes
[02:11] <rdr> SpeedrunnerG55: have you tried creating a different user and seeing if it happens on that account?
[02:11] <SpeedrunnerG55> no i havnt
[02:11] <rdr> that might be an idea to try, to see if something is wrong with your user account
[02:12] <rdr> if you're using X11, you can try pressing Alt+F2 and typing "r" and hitting enter to reload the shell after disabling extensions
[02:12] <Bashing-om> oerheks: Guest8: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/700360 // https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2471179 .
[02:12] <rdr> if you're on wayland, you could disable extensions than log out and back in
[02:13] <Guest8> @oerheks @Bashing-om right Singapore
[02:14] <oerheks> id india, notorious in hollidays
[02:14] <oerheks> but no clue here, singapore unreachable
[02:15] <Guest8> Bashing-om i see.. politics issue ah
[02:15] <ravage> http://mirror.0x.sg/ubuntu/ works for me. so maybe just use that mirror until the provlem is fixed?
[02:18] <ravage> sudo -- sh -c 'echo "210.23.25.77 sg.archive.ubuntu.com" >> /etc/hosts'
[02:18] <ravage> should mitigate your problem until its fixed
[02:19] <rdr> you should probably update your mirror instead of that i dunno that might cause problems not sure
[02:19] <ravage> you just have to remove the like in /etc/hosts when 202.79.184.254 is back up and running
[02:21] <ravage> the alterlative is to define mirror.0x.sg in your sources.list file instead of sg.archive.ubuntu.com
[02:23] <rdr> yeah your hosts file thing would probably work, but I don't know if it uses https and it might throw a fit if the domain isn't the same
[02:24] <ravage> ubuntu repos only use http usually and it works
[02:24] <rdr> oh okay
[02:25] <ravage> see http://210.23.25.77/
[02:25] <ravage> the hostname does not matter like with most ubuntu mirros
[02:25] <ravage> *mirrors
[02:26] <ravage> at lot of them use a dedicated IP that answers everything really
[03:07] <SpeedrunnerG55> rdr: i created a new user after installing updates and restarting, the search works with the new user but still does not work with my user login
[03:08] <rdr> have you installed any themes perhaps?
[03:11] <rdr> SpeedrunnerG55: it should find files as well, maybe an issue with "tracker", you can try in a terminal doing `tracker search -fs "filename"` without the ticks, see if it can find files in your home directory or not, just search for a file you know is there
[03:15] <rdr> SpeedrunnerG55: worst case scenario, you end up having to back up your files somewhere and then starting the user from scratch, might be some issue with tracker config or something
[03:22] <SpeedrunnerG55> doing `tracker search -fs "filename"` listed allt he files in my home directory
[03:23] <rdr> oh okay so it is finding files
[03:24] <rdr> but for some reason isn't finding applications in the search?
[03:28] <rdr> SpeedrunnerG55: I'm heading to bed, but it's probably not the desktop files in /usr/share/applications since they appear on the other user, could still be an issue with extensions if they aren't fully disabled hard to say.  But yeah, worst case scenario is you backup your files and restore them on a recreated user, would be annoying but something is wrong with that user in particular
[03:34] <SpeedrunnerG55> rdr: it does find things, like, it works, if I type in anything that I know is there, and hit enter, it will open it. but it never shows its results
[03:39] <rdr> oh weird, sounds like an issue with your gnome-shell theme perhaps?
[03:39] <rdr> try using Tweak Tool to switch it back to either Default or Yaru (I forget if Ubuntu changes it at all)
[03:39] <rdr> could also be the GTK theme
[03:39] <rdr> but yeah I'm off for the night, good luck
[03:54] <SpeedrunnerG55> rdr: installing and enabling ‘Shell theme’ in Gnome Tweak Tool seammed to fix search. i don't know why it was not working before though
[06:17] <tstagg> Anybody know why tasksel doesn't show any of the kubuntu tasks on my fresh 20.04 install?
[06:17] <tstagg> Its weird because I have done a lot of testing on 20.04 and never ran into this issue when using the installer. Since I used debootstrap to get a minimal system online for my dual boot setup, I'm wondering if I am missing something
[07:02] <masyola> what is this
[08:33] <Kilos> morning all. 20.04 kubuntu has no option for mobile broadband connection for south africa
[08:34] <Kilos> many of us only can use mobile connections because of cable theft of phone lines and no fibre to any rural areas
[08:34] <Kilos> and 20.04 does not see my dlink dwm 222 usb modem
[08:34] <Kilos> lsusb shows the modem but thats as far as i get
[10:15] <Jeremy31> Kilos: The USB modem might be seen as a storage device and needs USB modeswitch
[10:16] <Kilos> Jeremy31  it is not seen at all
[10:16] <Jeremy31> Kilos: nothing in results from terminal for> lsusb
[10:16] <Kilos> even in 18.04 kubuntu it was a massive job to get the modem working
[10:18] <Kilos> I cannot check because I need to remove this drive from laptop to then try again. the install usb stick cannot connect to the net to report or try anything
[10:18] <Kilos> with lsusb the modem is seen
[10:18] <Jeremy31> Kilos: What is the ID of the modem in lsusb
[10:19] <Kilos> but 20.04 does not have the mobilebroadband option for south africa
[10:19] <Kilos> i will try get it for you
[10:21] <Kilos> 2001:7d02 D-Link Corp. I have a dlink 157 online here with 18.04 and not sure which is which
[10:21] <Kilos> 2001:7e3d D-Link Corp.
[10:22] <Kilos> normally when I plug in a modem it is seen in network manager
[10:23] <Jeremy31> It appears to be in modem mode and not storage
[10:23] <Kilos> so first problem is 20.04 has no mobilebroadband option for south africa
[10:27] <Jeremy31> Kilos: any idea what info it needs?

[10:36] <Rugels> Welcom

[10:38] <manwhowouldbekin> Greetigns, all! I am having some issues installing an Ubuntu package. Could I run it by you for some troubleshooting? I am getting an unmet dependencies error I am struggling to resolve.
[10:40] <Kilos> Jeremy31  i will record that info and then try again
[10:40] <Kilos> thank you for helping
[10:44] <lotuspsychje> manwhowouldbekin: dependency errors often arise due conflicting external ppa's with apt sources
[10:45] <manwhowouldbekin> lotuspsychje, What can I do to check that?
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> manwhowouldbekin: a pastebin of your current apt error can be useful for the volunteers to take a look
[10:49] <manwhowouldbekin> lotuspsychje, https://pastebin.com/2FkgPPWB
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> manwhowouldbekin: installed nginx via a ppa?
[10:51] <manwhowouldbekin> lotuspsychje, I believe so.
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> manwhowouldbekin: !ppapurge the ppa, then sudo apt update again after, see if you can get rid of the error
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> !ppapurge
[10:59] <manwhowouldbekin> lotuspsychje, This is what I am trying. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong? https://pastebin.com/jJ8kskCX
[11:09] <lotuspsychje> manwhowouldbekin: its probably this ppa? ppa:maxmind/ppa
[11:10] <manwhowouldbekin> lotuspsychje, This one I used to install a package called maxmindd that was needed to compile a dynamic module for Nginx. Perhaps it is Hit:6 http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu bionic InRelease ?
[11:11] <lotuspsychje> try removing all external ppa's back to original sources

[13:26] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:53] <Sunrise> ducasse: I'm actually asking how to see a usb drive on Ubuntu 18.04, NOT windows. It doesn't appear to have created an icon, nor is it in Desktop. Where should I look? It's a viable USB thumbdrive.
[13:54] <ioria> Sunrise, have you tried 'sudo parted  -l' ?
[13:55] <rdr> anyone know what /usr/bin/edit is? it seems to be vim
[13:55] <rdr> or vi
[13:57] <ioria> rdr, it's a symlink to /usr/bin/run-mailcap , a perl script
[13:57] <yassin> yo
[13:57] <ducasse> Sunrise: it should be listed on the left side of the file manager
[13:58] <ducasse> there won't be a desktop icon
[14:03] <Sunrise> ducasse: i'm not asking about Windows. Really.
[14:04] <Sunrise> ioria: https://pastebin.com/vmEnvCts what's it supposed to show me?
[14:06] <ztane> howdy, since telegram has been long broken on focal, I went for a snap... and now are having a problem with accessing any files in telegram chats via save as :'D I can browse to any directory, and telegram-desktop behaves like it did something but I do not see any files ever being written anywhere at all
[14:06] <SuperLag> jhutchins: I realize your question is from days ago, but I'm just seeing it. Yes, I am able to connect via SSH. This is about the rPi that I'm trying to VNC to, where it says "Cannot currently show desktop", and the suggestion is that I change resolution.
[14:09] <SuperLag> jhutchins: and I was wondering if there's a way to change res from an SSH session. When I take the Pi out of the closet and plug it directly in my display, there is no issue... everything works. I was just trying to leave it headless, if I could.
[14:16] <Sunrise> oh yippie, i jiggled the usb stick and it lit up AND there is an icon which opened it :)
[14:16] <leftyfb> Sunrise: that is a hardware problem
[14:17] <ducasse> Sunrise: i didn't say you were
[14:18] <Sunrise> ducasse: File Manager is still Windows, though, and I'm on Ubuntu, which wasn't performing as the documentation said it ought to.
[14:19] <ducasse> Sunrise: ubuntu also has file managers, it's a generic term. the windows file manager is named explorer
[14:21] <Sunrise> ducasse: i appreciate you.
[14:25] <Sunrise> does Ubuntu's Text Editor have a way to do a case-sensitive search?
[14:32] <ducasse> depends on which one you're using
[14:32] <ducasse> something like gedit should, i guess
[14:33] <ducasse> emacs and vim certainly can
[14:35] <Sunrise> ducasse: the thing i'm in is called 'Text Editor'.
[14:36] <ducasse> that's just the generic name, try help->about
[14:39] <Sunrise> I don't even see gedit on this choice list.
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> Sunrise: apt policy gedit
[14:44] <Sunrise> gedit is there, it's not offering it in the choices to open a text file
[14:44] <Sunrise> mc is also not available on the dvd
[14:45] <leftyfb> Sunrise: you don't see the big "open" button in the top-left?
[14:45] <Sunrise> leftyfb: i'm a little slow, where is this button?
[14:45] <leftyfb> Sunrise: wait, what are you doing exactly?
[14:46] <Sunrise> i, being on this ubuntu 18.04 live cd, need to locate some text in a text file, which i brought from a usb stick.
[14:47] <leftyfb> Sunrise: open gedit and then open your text file
[14:47] <Sunrise> i've copied it to a directory and trying to open it in something that will allow a case sensitive search.
[14:47] <leftyfb> "text editor"
[14:47] <Maik> or... rightclick the textfile and the open with
[14:48] <Maik> if you doubleclick the textfile it should open in Gedit automatically
[14:50] <Sunrise> OK i guess that is gedit then, it just says text editor.  Search is finding every instance not case sensitive .. 521 of them.
[14:57] <ducasse> Sunrise: "Select Match Case to make the search case sensitive" - https://help.gnome.org/users/gedit/stable/gedit-search.html.en
[14:57] <Sunrise> found it! thank you :)

[15:15] <hwdyki> is it possible to apt-mirror debian apt repo on ubuntu? the debian host using the mirror is complaining about dists/bullseye/main/Contents-all  404  Not Found and ists/bullseye-updates/main/Contents-all  404  Not Found
[15:27] <leftyfb> hwdyki: yes, it is possible. You'll need to seek support from #debian though
[15:53] <chilversc> where do I find the original source repositories for packages in launchpad? For example https://git.launchpad.net/~git-ubuntu-import/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-gcp-5.13
[15:55] <chilversc> I looked on git://kernel.ubuntu.org/ubuntu/ubuntu-focal.git but that repository doesn't contain any rules for the gcp variants
[15:59] <ioria> chilversc, you mean this : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-signed-gcp-5.13/
[16:00] <chilversc> I was looking for the source git repository that produces those packages
[16:00] <ioria> chilversc, i think that is a 'source' pkg, not binary
[16:27] <jhutchins> chilversc: I believe it varies depending on the upstream project.
[16:28] <jhutchins> chilversc: There should be a corresponding .src package for each .deb package though, this will contain the files that were used to build the .deb.
[16:28] <jhutchins> !source
[16:54] <enyc> what IRC channel for archive/unsupported ubuntu versions?
[16:54] <KBar> enyc: AFAIK none
[16:55] <KBar> Unsupported means nobody will provide support.
[16:55] <ogra> you might still be able to discuss it in -discuss 🙂
[16:58] <enyc> KBar: heh well somebody DOSfan asking for current channel
[16:58] <enyc> reports 16.04 LTS and .desktop files misbehaving
[16:59] <enyc> suggested MX21 as a good 32bit xfce destkop to install if want 32bit to work
[17:00] <enyc> DOSfan: #ubuntu-discuss is possible channel reportedly
[17:00] <DOSfan> oh ... for 16.04.7 LTS help you mean?
[17:00] <enyc> well, any unsupported thing
[17:00] <ogra> well, for 16.04 there is only paid support ...
[17:01] <DOSfan> making a simple .desktop file, not that complex
[17:01] <enyc> DOSfan: I asked a sensible question -- if you want 32bit chip support, what is wrong with trying MX21 32bit  current 32bit system ?
[17:01] <enyc> as ubuntu no longer suitable
[17:03] <ioria> mini.sio 18.04 32-bit it's still available : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[17:03] <ioria> *mini.iso
[17:03] <ioria> then you can install a desktop of your choise
[17:04] <enyc> ioria: i see, though thats not suported for long, and is already 3.5 years back or so I think
[17:04] <ioria> it's supported until 2023, i guess
[17:04] <enyc> ioria: whereas Debian 11 LTS and MX21  is a more sensible 32bit less than a year gone

[17:22] <Guest84> Hi. I am on Mac using Multiplex to access Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I have conda4.11.0. I am trying to establish new conda environment with .yml but cannot get past 'collecting package metadata.' Thank you for your help
[17:26] <leftyfb> Guest84: where did you get conda4.11.0 from>
[17:26] <leftyfb> >
[17:26] <leftyfb> ?
[17:29] <Guest84> leftyfb docs.conda.io then updated
[17:29] <leftyfb> Guest84: ok, feel free to contact conda.io for support with their application
[17:38] <DrNostril> can anybody help me block my vms from accessing the network
[17:38] <DrNostril> i'm using gnome-boxes and i can't figure out how to get my win10 vm to stay in its tiny cell

[18:05] <Guest76> help please
[18:07] <jhutchins> Guest76: Why would you ask here?
[18:09] <Guest76> Because they didn't help me elsewhere.
[18:09] <toddc> kali key has been updated or expirerd
[18:09] <leftyfb> Guest76: this is #ubuntu support, not Debian or Kali
[18:10] <Guest76> I understand. But there may be people who can help.
[18:11] <leftyfb> Guest76: go to #debian or #kali
[18:14] <Guest76> Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be logged into your NickServ account
[18:14] <leftyfb> !register | Guest76
[18:15] <jhutchins> Guest76: Think of this: If there are people here who have the knowledge to help you with Debian or Kali, they will be in those channels if they are willing to help.
[18:16] <jhutchins> Guest8100: I think you have a pretty orphaned situation there, and if any help is available it will be via email to the people maintaining that site.

[20:32] <pycurious> I've a new machine (30L Desktop) from HP. How do I boot it in Ubuntu. Currently it just boots in windows - doesnt do anything if a usb is plugged in or not.
[20:32] <pycurious> Do I have to do some safeboot enablement + UEFI Bios changes to boot from usb?
[20:32] <matsaman> morganu: probably the most clever name of all time ...
[20:33] <matsaman> pycurious: quite possibly, unless it has a dedicated boot menu key
[20:33] <matsaman> pycurious: try tapping esc and/or f9 during bootup
[20:33] <pycurious> matsaman: It does go inside boot - but it seems HP has very few things I can change inthe boot menu
[20:33] <pycurious> F10 takes me to bios
[20:34] <matsaman> in the "bios" you could also look for boot order, and what is allowed/disallowed for booting
[20:34] <pycurious> What exact UEFI changes does one need to do? Do I want to disable UEFI?
[20:34] <matsaman> you can't really disable UEFI, but if you see an option for "legacy" boot mode, that could potentially help you
[20:34] <matsaman> although it could confuse your Windows install
[20:35] <matsaman> (in a way you should be able to fix)
[20:35] <pycurious> yes, it does - I had to disable BitValult encryption when i tried that mode
[20:35] <matsaman> "legacy" or "bios"
[20:36] <morganu> lol takes one to know...
[20:36] <morganu> ooops
[20:40] <Milijus> kist
[20:55] <tomreyn> morganu: please note that we have #ubuntu-offtopic for non support chats. thanks.
[21:17] <justaj[m]> hello, when will the next chromium update be available in the 18.04 repos? I'm usually not in a hurry or anything but I'm trying to get a certification for something and the online learning platform is dependent on drag&drop, which is currently broken: https://old.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/s8wh0a/anyone_else_cant_move_chromium_tabs_after_latest/
[21:19] <tomreyn> justaj[m]: i can't answer your original question, but you could try the snap instead
[21:19] <sarnold> justaj[m]: you could try grabbing older versions from launchpad, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/chromium-browser , and see if that helps out. it'll trade risks of fixed security bugs being exploited against the feature break..
[21:19] <matsaman> or a different browser
[21:21] <justaj[m]> matsaman: I tried FF but I think since I'm blocking Canvas elements the learning platform also breaks there.
[21:21] <justaj[m]> I'll try a snap version first, see if that helps.
[21:23] <rdr> you *could* install chrome from the google repository, but I know it's not exactly the same
[21:23] <rdr> but you'd have both a deb, and frequent updates
[21:24] <justaj[m]> will the snap chromium replace my current chromium-browser using a higher priority $PATH btw?
[21:24] <justaj[m]> oh I had no idea Google had their own repo
[21:26] <rdr> justaj[m]: just search "chrome" and download the deb for linux, install that and it will add an entry to /apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
[21:26] <rdr> and will update when you update the system
[21:27] <rdr> search in a web browser i mean
[21:27] <rdr> it has some features but if you care about privacy i can see insisting on chromium vs chrome
[21:27] <rdr> there's also Brave, which I personally like, but now we're getting off topic sorta
[21:29] <tomreyn> there's also ungoogled-chromium, but not for 18.04 LTS: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-debian#getting-obs-packages
[21:30] <jhutchins> 1brave
[21:30] <rdr> you could get the flatpak of that or other browsers
[21:30] <jhutchins> !brave
[21:32] <justaj[m]> yeah I'd prefer Chromium and I've heard about Brave but I have to read up on that first a bit more.
[21:32] <justaj[m]> re: ungoogled-chromium: https://web.archive.org/web/20210511165052/https://qua3k.github.io/ungoogled-chromium (but I'm not sure of the validity of this information since the page seems to have been (re)moved.
[21:33] <justaj[m]> )
[21:34] <rdr> Brave has some quirks, it's Chrom(e,ium) with some features added/removed.  It's controversial for having an adblock by default, but I install ublock Origin to block more stuff.  It also compensates creators by allowing you to automatically or manually "tip" creators using cryptocurrency gained from voluntarily viewing ads through the optional Brave Rewards program, which I don't use
[21:38] <tomreyn> chromium-browser was a bad suggestion, there are no current builds there.
[21:38] <matsaman> you hear that? It was a bad suggestion!
[21:42] <justaj[m]> How come the version of chromium-browser is 97.0.4692.71 then? The snap version (just `chromium`) is at 97.0.4692.99 however (and doesn't have that tab / drag&drop bug)
[21:43] <leftyfb> justaj[m]: snaps are kept up to date more frequently
[21:43] <rdr> well, the reason they went to snap for chromium (and now with 21.10, firefox as well) is that it's easier to maintain one snap for all supported distros than a deb built for each release
[21:44] <justaj[m]> oh that makes sense, and they're also auto updated, right?
[21:44] <leftyfb> correct
[21:47] <justaj[m]> Nice, I'll try it out then. So far the performance seems a bit more sluggish vs. chromium-browser, but I'll give it a proper go.
[22:17] <circuitbone> I had trouble with the snap chrome to install extensions, firefox saved the day.
[22:47] <DOSfan> Is it possible to resize a ext4 partition?  I'm trying in a couple of windows programs but it won't let me resize it.  I'm trying to make the boot partition smaller
[22:48] <sarnold> DOSfan: try gparted; it runs resize2fs to fiddle with fielsystem sizes and does the partition size stuff itself
[22:48] <sarnold> DOSfan: I don't know if it can actually shrink or only grow
[22:49] <sarnold> DOSfan: don't shrink your /boot too small. I recommend leaving it above 512M, though if I were making mine today, I'd go with one gigabyte just to avoid trouble in the future
[22:49] <DOSfan> sarnold: well it's the boot partition so ubuntu won't let me resize it cause it's using it .. was going to try and make a liveCD but don't really want to
[22:50] <sarnold> DOSfan: umount it do the resize, then remount once it's done?
[22:51] <DOSfan> sarnold: well it's the main boot partition .. I don't think I can unmount it
[23:02] <leftyfb> DOSfan: use a live cd/usb
[23:03] <leftyfb> you shouldn't do this from your running OS and certainly not from Windows
[23:08] <DOSfan> leftyfb : ya i'm having troubles resizing .. I did use fdisk and dropped/remake sda1 smaller but that didn't seem to work
[23:08] <leftyfb> DOSfan: use a live cd/usb and use gparted
[23:09] <DOSfan> leftyfb : it's odd that 3 of my windows partition programs will not let me resize it either ... i'm trying to make it smaller
[23:09] <leftyfb> DOSfan: use a live cd/usb and use gparted
[23:10] <leftyfb> DOSfan: also, again, we cannot support EOL releases
[23:17] <DOSfan> leftyfb : I think I just wanna cry :\
[23:47] <junebug> I did a sudo apt upgrade today and after a restart my wifi doesn't work. Can someone help?
[23:48] <matsaman> junebug: does it see your router?
[23:48] <matsaman> whoops
[23:49] <junebug> Sorry bluetooth internet got disconnected
[23:49] <sarnold> Mon 24 23:48:20 < matsaman> junebug: does it see your router?
[23:50] <junebug> sarnold, I can do ip addr and it shows the wifi adapter but not any networks
[23:51] <junebug> 129: wlo1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
[23:54] <junebug> matsaman, ^
[23:57] <ablegreen> in a systemd service file, i see there is a config option "KillSignal". under what conditions will systemd send this signal to the process? when the service is stopped via running `systemctl stop <application>.service`? are there any other conditions? does it do it automatically sometimes?
