| junebug | I tried doing: sudo ip link set wlo1 up but the result is: RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| matsaman | mmm | 00:12 |
| matsaman | junebug: what's the wireless device? | 00:12 |
| junebug | matsaman, how do I find that? | 00:13 |
| Maik | maybe try booting from a previous kernel and see if the wifi works there? | 00:13 |
| junebug | Maik, can you walk me through that? | 00:14 |
| matsaman | junebug: mmmm, lspci -k | grep -i wirel -A 4 | 00:15 |
| junebug | matsaman, nothing comes back | 00:16 |
| matsaman | junebug: hrmmm, and with lspci -Mk? | 00:18 |
| junebug | matsaman, a bunch of "Cant open /sys/bus/pci/... | 00:18 |
| matsaman | might have to sudo it | 00:19 |
| matsaman | junebug: this a laptop? | 00:19 |
| junebug | matsaman, yes | 00:19 |
| junebug | hp | 00:19 |
| matsaman | you haven't like, toggled the hardware wifi disable button/switch? | 00:19 |
| junebug | Intel driver | 00:20 |
| junebug | I tried disabling and enabling that but no luck | 00:20 |
| matsaman | junebug: so, going back to Maik's suggestion | 00:20 |
| junebug | matsaman, yes. How do I revert? | 00:20 |
| matsaman | junebug: if you look in /boot/ you'll probably see your old kernel in there | 00:21 |
| junebug | matsaman, I see a bunch of files there | 00:21 |
| junebug | https://gist.github.com/lodenrogue/3525a917779276eb77d86dc34373b72d | 00:22 |
| Maik | junebug: you don't need to revert but just boot from a older kernel if installed | 00:22 |
| Maik | junebug: Holding down the shift key while booting, will display the Grub menu. You can now select an older kernel version. | 00:22 |
| junebug | Ah ok | 00:22 |
| junebug | brb let me try that | 00:23 |
| matsaman | if it works with old kernel, then it's simply a kernel issue you can probably fix fairly straightforwardly | 00:23 |
| matsaman | or put off, etc. | 00:23 |
| junebug | ok | 00:23 |
| Maik | good luck because i'm off to bed | 00:23 |

| CoolerX | Hi | 00:27 |
| CoolerX | I am getting an error with a missing shared object file | 00:28 |
| CoolerX | ruby/2.7.0/gems/ffi-1.15.5/lib/ffi_c.so | 00:28 |
| tomreyn | hi CoolerX. which ubuntu release are you on? Which command are you running and what's its output? | 00:29 |
| lotharn | anyone wanna help me with a simple awk problem? how do i get awk to recognize a field seperator that is , but one of the fields has a "" string with , in it? | 00:32 |
| junebug | I tried left shift but nothing came up. I used ESC and I could see the startup menu with BIOS as an option. Nothing about grub though | 00:33 |
| junebug | I went through the startup menus and didn't see anything about another kernel | 00:33 |
| leftyfb | lotharn: try #bash | 00:33 |
| junebug | Maik, matsaman ^ | 00:34 |
| tomreyn | junebug: do you know whether you're booting in uefi or (legacy) bios mode? | 00:35 |
| junebug | tomreyn, no idea | 00:35 |
| junebug | I saw something about EFI in the menu | 00:35 |
| tomreyn | junebug: so it should be set to uefi booting, then pressing escape is correct, but you seem to have done so a tid bit too early, bringing up the uefi's boot menu, not having loaded grub, yet | 00:36 |
| junebug | So I should wait for the Ubuntu logo to show up | 00:37 |
| junebug | Ok let me try that | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | it should be right before that | 00:37 |
| matsaman | if that doesn't work out, you can actually tell GRUB to not hide itself, too | 00:37 |
| junebug | matsaman, how can I do that? | 00:38 |
| jambs | hi guis | 00:40 |
| matsaman | junebug: https://askubuntu.com/questions/16042/how-to-get-to-the-grub-menu-at-boot-time | 00:41 |
| matsaman | junebug: see the bit about /etc/default/grub, & update-grub | 00:41 |
| junebug | Coo. I'll try that brb | 00:41 |
| juno__ | Ok now it's working. I had to revert 2 versions back | 00:47 |
| matsaman | juno__: coool | 00:47 |
| juno__ | matsaman, I saw only 3 versions in that menu. How do I keep this version around in case this happens again? | 00:48 |
| matsaman | juno__: I doubt it will go anywhere, but you can back it up by copying it from /boot/ to elsewhere if you want | 00:48 |
| juno__ | Ok | 00:48 |
| matsaman | should be relatively small files | 00:48 |
| matsaman | what I would probably do next, if I were you, if I had the time right now is | 00:49 |
| matsaman | try a newer kernel version than the one you ended up on that didn't work | 00:49 |
| matsaman | sometimes regressions just get fixed | 00:49 |
| juno__ | Would I need to download and install the kernel? | 00:49 |
| matsaman | if that doesn't work, you might have to compare the kernels and see what changed | 00:49 |
| matsaman | in some manner, yes | 00:50 |
| matsaman | unless there is an Ubuntu-specific archive for a more recent version of Ubuntu you could use | 00:50 |
| matsaman | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel | 00:50 |
| juno__ | I'll look into that thank you | 00:50 |
| matsaman | it's not usually a big deal, building a kernel | 00:50 |
| juno__ | Thank you as well tomreyn and Maik | 00:51 |
| matsaman | it does take a certain amount of time usually on the order of 5-20 minutes to compile, depending on how many things you enable | 00:51 |
| matsaman | juno__: does 'zcat /proc/config.gz | head' produce output? | 00:51 |
| matsaman | juno__: if so you can use 'zcat /proc/config.gz | tee some/file.txt' to backup the current kernel's config | 00:52 |
| matsaman | the configs are probably also still in /boot/ | 00:52 |
| matsaman | so you can diff them pretty easily most likely | 00:52 |
| juno__ | gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory | 00:52 |
| juno__ | I just copied every file that had the kernel version from the /boot directory to my home folder | 00:53 |
| juno__ | It's like 4 files | 00:53 |
| juno__ | config, System.map, initrd, and vmlinuz | 00:53 |
| juno__ | I'm assuming that's all I need? | 00:54 |
| Lacti | Hello | 00:54 |
| tomreyn | juno__: do you know which chipset this wireless is? | 00:55 |
| juno__ | tomreyn, Intel | 00:55 |
| tomreyn | that's a company | 00:55 |
| juno__ | tomreyn, sorry. How do I look that up? | 00:55 |
| tomreyn | lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | usually this would work if you have internet access | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | if you dont, remove the last pipe | character and anything following it | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | is this an internal wireless or one connected via usb? | 00:57 |
| juno__ | Internal | 00:58 |
| tomreyn | and does this return a http address? | 00:59 |
| matsaman | juno__: just the files in /boot/ yeah | 00:59 |
| juno__ | https://termbin.com/xm1f | 00:59 |
| juno__ | matsaman, thanks | 00:59 |
| tomreyn | juno__: and which ubuntu version are you on there? nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version_signature,cmdline}) | 01:00 |
| juno__ | Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS | 01:02 |
| matsaman | juno__: dmesg | grep -i intel | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | juno__: the above command would also have returned your current kernel version | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | which is? | 01:03 |
| juno__ | https://termbin.com/euao | 01:03 |
| juno__ | This is the kernal that works | 01:03 |
| juno__ | kernel* | 01:03 |
| tomreyn | and the one which doesn't work is also a 5.11? | 01:04 |
| juno__ | 5.13.0-27-generic | 01:05 |
| matsaman | juno__: dmesg | grep -i intel | 01:05 |
| juno__ | matsaman, which line? Lots of output | 01:06 |
| matsaman | juno__: dmesg | grep -i intel | grep -i 'rev=' | 01:06 |
| juno__ | [ 3.120351] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9461, REV=0x354 | 01:06 |
| tomreyn | juno__: can you check whether you have pending updates? | 01:08 |
| juno__ | tomreyn, nothing in apt update and apt upgrade | 01:08 |
| tomreyn | what about sudo apt full-upgrade | 01:09 |
| juno__ | Nothing as well | 01:09 |
| tomreyn | you could share the output of matsaman's command | 01:10 |

| DOSfan | question : I changed my swap partition location and now on boot it's taking allot longer .. "a start job is running for udev-" and it says 1.5 minutes to complete .. why is it doing this? | 01:28 |
| sarnold | DOSfan: did you fix up your /etc/fstab to match the new swap configuration? | 01:29 |
| sarnold | DOSfan: did you run mkswap on the devices or files after doing whatever you did? | 01:30 |
| DOSfan | sarnold: hmmm no ... is it a file I edit? | 01:30 |
| DOSfan | I used gparted ... everthing went ok, I made the boot partition smaller as well | 01:30 |
| DOSfan | sarnold: okI have the fstab file open .. I do see on the boot part this ... errors=remount-ro ... is that the problem? | 01:33 |
| sarnold | no, that's usual | 01:33 |
| sarnold | what did you do to your swap? | 01:34 |
| === justache is now known as justGhost | ||
| DOSfan | sarnold: I wanted the boot and swap partiton to be together (not a unused space gap), so I deleted the Extened part (which also had a seperate swap inside it) | 01:35 |
| DOSfan | sarnold: so now I just have a single swap partition on sda2 (originally the swap was under an extened partition under sda5). | 01:36 |
| Bashing-om | DOSfan: ' sudo blkid | grep swap ' and make sure the UUID matchs in the /etc/fstab file. | 01:36 |
| DOSfan | ya and under 'mount point' it says 'none' | 01:37 |
| DOSfan | Bashing-om: ok i'll try that | 01:37 |
| Bashing-om | DOSfan: Change a partition also changes the UUID. | 01:38 |
| DOSfan | Bashing-om: yes the UID has changed .. so just copy that ID into the fstab file? | 01:39 |
| Bashing-om | Disconsented: Yeah - then to verify/propagate run terminal command: sudo mount -a . | 01:40 |
| Disconsented | wat | 01:41 |
| Bashing-om | Disconsented: Sorry - not paying attention to my tab complete :( | 01:41 |
| Bashing-om | DOSfan: ^^ . | 01:41 |
| DOSfan | Bashing-om: thanks buddy ... yup that was the issue. I would have thought that fstab file would have been updated by gparted with the new UID but I guess not. | 01:46 |
| DOSfan | back in a bit | 01:47 |

| canurabus | Is there any way to upgrade an EOL version of Ubuntu (non LTS?). I have groovy and would like to avoid reinstalling everything. It doesn't seem to work with `do-release-upgrade`. How do offline upgrades work? I'm trying to find a way to go from groovy -> hirsute -> impish. If I boot with a hirsute ISO will I be able to upgrade my existing install? | 05:29 |
| Bashing-om | !eol | canurabus | 05:30 |
| ubottu | canurabus: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 05:30 |
| Bashing-om | canurabus: ^ short answer - yes. | 05:30 |
| JackFrost | But don't skip versions in the meantime, the upgrade path can be painful. | 05:31 |
| canurabus | Will give it a shot, thanks. | 05:32 |

| gombara | hello. I have been trying to automate install of Ubuntu 21.10 desktop. All the information I could found online points to modifying grub.cfg to provide command line options to kernel. but for some reason I could not get it working. after the boot it lands in live session desktop instead of starting the install. any ideas? | 07:11 |
| alkisg | Hello! I have two NICs; one gets a proper IP and the other one doesn't, on purpose. My problem is that `NetworkManager-wait-online.service` is in failed state. | 07:17 |
| alkisg | Can I somehow tell network-manager that one connection to the Internet is enough, and that it doesn't need all connections to start before I'm "online"? | 07:17 |
| alkisg | This in turn is causing other issues, like systemctl status saying "degraded state", openssh-server delaying its start etc | 07:18 |
| alkisg | Hmm, it appears that removing `-s` from `ExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online -s -q` from /lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-wait-online.service does the trick. I wonder if this has any bad side effects or if should actually be sent as a bug report | 07:24 |
| ravage | alkisg: maybe setting ipv4.may-fail for that interface helps? | 07:29 |
| alkisg | @ravage thanks; unfortunately that would mean that I'd have to create a connection for all interfaces in all my servers that are e.g. connected by mistake to a vlan and don't receive an IP from that interface | 07:31 |
| alkisg | I.e. I'd prefer some solution where I wouldn't have to list any interfaces | 07:31 |
| ravage | and what do you need the service for? i dont use it on any of my servers | 07:31 |
| alkisg | Some services depend on nm-online state; so e.g. openssh-server just starts later, and I think some may even not get started at all because of this | 07:32 |
| alkisg | Depending on if they declared 'After' or 'Requires'... | 07:32 |
| ravage | you could just change ExecStart to /bin/true then ;) | 07:33 |
| alkisg | That would make services start before an IP/DNS exist; so they might do the wrong thing | 07:34 |
| ravage | depends on the services of course yes | 07:35 |
| alkisg | Omitting the -s works fine, but I'm worried why it's not the default... | 07:35 |
| alkisg | In Jammy I see they added a new line: Environment=NM_ONLINE_TIMEOUT=60 | 07:35 |
| alkisg | This doesn't help in my case, but it shows that someone else was bitten by a similar issue | 07:35 |
| alkisg | Specifically, my best workaround so far is: systemctl edit NetworkManager-wait-online | 07:38 |
| alkisg | And to put this in the override: "[Service]\nExecStart=\nExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online\n" | 07:38 |
| ahc | I'm installing 20.04 onto a desktop. Can I format/partion my SSB hda with recommended defaults automatically? | 08:06 |
| ahc | SSD | 08:06 |
| ahc | partition .. sorry | 08:07 |
| ahc | I can see my 120GB SSD there as hda, and a 1TB there as hdb. It has Disks running from 18.04 booted from a usb. | 08:10 |
| ahc | Maybe the Ubuntu installation page goes into this. | 08:10 |
| ahc | It seems there's a Debian installer, am looking for a Ubuntu 20.04 installer. I'll keep reading. | 08:14 |
| Kilos | ahc when I install 18.04 and other releases I use the manual option in the installer program and make 35 gig as / root and the rest as /home | 08:18 |
| ahc | Thanks Kilos With 18.04 on my boot USB, I might just connect to the 'net and click install. Upgrade to 20.04 soon thereafter. I'll watch for / root space. | 08:21 |
| Kilos | and a swap file not a swap partition | 08:21 |
| Kilos | ahc if you let it upgrade as it installs it takes long | 08:21 |
| ahc | Wow. First I've heard for the Swap file not partition. Hmm. OK. May re-do tomorrow, see how we go tonight. | 08:22 |
| Kilos | good luck | 08:22 |
| Kilos | a swap partition wears out the ssd much quicker than swapfile | 08:23 |
| ahc | Its a new 2nd-hand unit. So I must format / erase / partition the 2 drives I have. They've got all sorts on at present. | 08:24 |
| ahc | Just want an automatic install, default partition sizes, to start with. | 08:24 |
| Kilos | https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-18-04 | 08:25 |
| ahc | OK Thanks | 08:25 |
| Kilos | first install 18.04 on the ssd then connect the other drives | 08:26 |
| Kilos | I used to get mixed up with all the drives so do my installs directly to the ssd first | 08:27 |
| ahc | Got it. Thanks. Back laters. | 08:27 |
| Kilos | good luck | 08:27 |
| alkisg | "a swap partition wears out the ssd much quicker than swapfile" ==> why is that? They both use static disk sectors... | 08:33 |
| Kilos | alkisg https://askubuntu.com/questions/652337/why-are-swap-partitions-discouraged-on-ssd-drives-are-they-harmful | 08:41 |
| aiky | hello. i have an issue with sound. it's working fine for a little while before i just hear i loud siren-like noise, which continues till i stop what i was listening to. any idea what the cause might be? it's an old atom processor laptop. i first experiences this in linux mint, and now in lubuntu | 08:43 |
| ogra | Kilos, and why would swapfile be better ? alkisg's claim stands, they both d the same thing and sit at the same location for their lifetime ... it would only help if you re-created the swapfile at each boot ... | 08:44 |
| ogra | else they are effectively the same | 08:45 |
| Kilos | ogra I just follow what the clever people say | 08:45 |
| Kilos | there is a difference I am sure. my ssd is now 3 years old and still working fine | 08:46 |
| Kilos | and it was a second hand windows drive that crashed to bad to repair | 08:47 |
| ogra | even with a swap partiton yur controller has wear levelling and will try o compensate ... it is true that swap shortens the lifetime ... but thats rather something like from 10y to 9y with modern SSDs... you will likely not hit the threshold before you switch to a new disk | 08:47 |
| ogra | the only actually safe way would be to create a new swapfile at each boot (and keep the old one around until the new one is actually physically created, that way other blocks would be used) | 08:49 |
| Kilos | actually when you install from 18.04 and later and let the installer do everything , as in not making your own partitions, it adds a swapfile automagically iirc | 08:49 |
| ogra | but that would slow down your boot | 08:49 |
| ogra | yeah but that is for different reasons (there was a long discussion on the ubuntu-devel mailing list before that switch) | 08:50 |
| ogra | (mainly fr more flexibility ... its ia a lot easier to resize a file on top of your rootfs than having to re-partition) | 08:51 |
| Kilos | what did they say, I am old and cant keep up with everything, tech is advancing faster than I can read lol | 08:51 |
| Kilos | even here when it gets busy I run away | 08:51 |
| ogra | heh | 08:52 |
| Kilos | the answer of course is to have many gigs of ram | 08:52 |
| Kilos | then no swaps are needed | 08:53 |
| ogra | well ... yu still want some swap ... the kernel actully takes differnt code paths in memory management without swap ... so your system might behave differently with and without it | 08:53 |
| Kilos | aha ty for that | 08:54 |
| ogra | (you wont hit actual issues if you have a lot of ram, these differences are actually only hitting when you operate at the edge ... but we learned the difference the hard way with the ubuntu phone back in the days) | 08:55 |
| Kilos | oh my | 08:55 |
| Kilos | I learned how important swap is and how it speeds up your system on and old dual core machine with 4g ram | 08:56 |
| Kilos | used to use free mem to monitor | 08:57 |
| ogra | if you are really struggling with memory, zram and zswap are very helpful BTW ... they create a swap file in ram and then use compression for it ... that way you get the advantage of swap but not the drawback of slowdowns a physical disk introduces | 08:59 |
| * ogra needs to go AFK now ... | 08:59 | |

| webchat90 | I have a recently purchased alienware notebook that came with a usb ethernet adapter that is getting recognized as a wwan0 device on ubuntu focal 20.04. I can see the usb network interface with ifconfig and I can configure by running dhclient, but network manager doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid device. The device is " ID 413c:b097 | 12:59 |
| webchat90 | Dell Computer Corp. USB 10/100/1G/2.5G LAN". The device name assigned to it is wwx0c3796......, wwx + the mac address. I have tried the oem and hwe kernels. linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04-edge/focal-updates,focal-security,now 5.13.0.27.29~20.04.13 amd64 [installed] and linux-image-oem-20.04d/focal-updates,focal-security,now 5.14.0.1020.17 | 12:59 |
| webchat90 | amd64 [installed] don't seem to recognize it as an ethernet device. Mostly what I care about is getting NetworkManager to work with it. When I run "nmcli device show" it is not in the list of devices. | 12:59 |

| ubottu | Liblx: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 15:06 |

| DOSfan | question : web tells me that try here for Krusader help ... I cannot get it to launch in root-mode, I have read a bit on google and reinstalled krusader but same issue. Do I berhaps ned to install kdesu or some additional packages like libkf5su-bin? | 17:26 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: upgrade your Ubuntu to one that is not End Of Life. Please stop asking for help with it | 17:27 |
| DOSfan | leftyfb: wrong this time .. newer OS .. same issue | 17:28 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: ( cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ) | nc termbin.com 9999 | 17:28 |
| DOSfan | leftyfb: allot of people have had this issue, regardless of the os version, check the web and look how many have had this issue. This did work once so it's fixable | 17:29 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: ( cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ) | nc termbin.com 9999 | 17:29 |
| Maik | DOSfan: just do as asked by leftyfb | 17:29 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: it should be instant for you to run that and post the URL here | 17:33 |
| Maik | looks like they don't want to | 17:33 |
| leftyfb | wonder why that is | 17:36 |
| Maik | dunno, maybe they still run a EOL version? | 17:37 |
| Maik | it's a waste of time this way imho | 17:37 |
| jhutchins | So the current relase of krusader is completely different from older releases, and common problems don't exist and aren't solvable... | 17:39 |
| Maik | why even continue if they aren't willing to cooperate | 17:40 |
| jhutchins | I wonder if the changelogs show what has beenfixed, and if those patches could be backported. | 17:40 |
| jhutchins | DOSfan: I suppose you could do a temporary dual-boot or VM install of the current version of Ubuntu, and see if the problems persist. Then you would know if the assumption that simply upgraded to a supported version would fix it is true or just superstition. | 17:42 |
| leftyfb | jhutchins: they're running on i386 | 17:42 |
| leftyfb | they could upgrade to 18.04 but they refuse | 17:42 |
| Maik | leftyfb: i thought he was using 18.04? | 17:43 |
| leftyfb | nope, 16.04. 18.04 is still supported for another year | 17:43 |
| jhutchins | leftyfb: Upgrades aren't the panacea you seem to think they are. | 17:43 |
| jhutchins | They come with their own problems. | 17:43 |
| leftyfb | jhutchins: irrelevant. EOL isn't supported here | 17:43 |
| jhutchins | Heh. Maybe we need an "ubuntu-heretage" channel. | 17:44 |
| Maik | yeah that version is EOL and if DOSfan is too stubborn to listen and not willing to upgrade, support ends here. | 17:44 |
| DOSfan | Maik: hate to break it to ya ... but no one has helped me yet once. | 17:47 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: because you're not running a supported version of ubuntu | 17:47 |
| DOSfan | anyway it's ver 18.04 ... also I read that Mint people also have this issue (newer versions). | 17:47 |
| Maik | DOSfan: and you are not even willing to do that what's asked | 17:48 |
| DOSfan | READ | 17:48 |
| DOSfan | gzzzzzzz | 17:48 |
| Maik | no you | 17:48 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: ( cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ) | nc termbin.com 9999 | 17:48 |
| Maik | do that ^ | 17:48 |
| DOSfan | fine | 17:48 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: if you do that, within the next few seconds here, and you aren't lying, then people will be willing to help you | 17:49 |
| DOSfan | EVEN if I do that ... do you even have a solution ... allot of ubuntu versions have this issue as wll ... it does mention that it connot connect to a D-B | 17:49 |
| Maik | just DO it | 17:49 |
| Maik | DOSfan: and if not then please stop wasting our time and move on | 17:50 |
| Maik | ok then not, your loss | 17:51 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: spending time googling for the output of those on google are we? | 17:51 |
| DOSfan | not gonna paste info to some web site ... here what is in the os-release file ... PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS" | 17:53 |
| leftyfb | nope, not what we asked for | 17:53 |
| DOSfan | oh well ... I'll just keep reading the web ... perhaps installing kdesu might help. thanks | 17:54 |
| jhutchins | DOSfan: https://www.makeuseof.com/linux-distros-with-32-bit-support/ | 17:54 |
| DOSfan | leftyfbno you asked to have information about a computer to paste to some external web site (terbin.com) , firewall prevents that sorry | 17:55 |
| leftyfb | no it doesn't | 17:55 |
| jhutchins | DOSfan: I would expect that mint and debian are closest to ubuntu. | 17:55 |
| DOSfan | anyway .. thanks again for the help | 17:55 |
| Maik | firewall prevents that... sure... lol | 17:55 |
| leftyfb | DOSfan: so you're on some network you don't control running a 32bit machine and that network just happens to block a very benign pastebin site that gets used quite a bit here? | 17:56 |
| DOSfan | Maik : yes blocked ... why would I want any traffic over port 9999 ... anyway I did answer your question regarding that os-release file. Oh well, PCMANFM runs fine as root so all it well. | 18:07 |
| Maik | do as you please but stop bothering us if you refuse to cooperate | 18:09 |
| DOSfan | Maik: nice reply. | 18:10 |
| Maik | ignore it is | 18:11 |
| DOSfan | Maik: actually I just ran root mode successfully from the Krusader menu, so it does work, good enuf. | 18:14 |
| tomreyn | webchat90: i'm guessing that (network-manager not listing the device) is due to the device name, which is non-standard. you will see such non-standard device names when a proprietary / vendor driver is installed and grabs the device. | 18:25 |
| tomreyn | Guest59: if you need a newer nodejs / npm version than Ubuntu 21.10 provides, you'll probably need to use the vendor / upstream apt repository (not supported here) | 18:27 |

| Guest49 | Hi, I have a 2021 mac book air and I am trying to create an ubuntu flash drive. I followed the directions on the official website but now whenever I plug my drive in it says it's not readable | 19:23 |
| sarnold | "it says it's not readable" -- what is "it"? | 19:24 |
| Guest49 | a notification pops up | 19:24 |
| Guest49 | i am not sure what you mean | 19:24 |
| Guest49 | ok so now I am not getting the error message but i am very confused by disk utility | 19:25 |
| Heston | hey guys, is there any reason why an ubuntu 18.0.4.1 Livecd would modifiy ./boot/grub/efi.img? | 19:25 |
| Heston | it's now failing the md5 checksum | 19:26 |
| Guest49 | how do i make a bootable drive?? | 19:26 |
| Guest49 | help | 19:26 |
| Guest49 | i have been struggling for hours | 19:26 |
| tomreyn | Guest49: the easiest is using balena etcher | 19:26 |
| Guest49 | i did that | 19:26 |
| Guest49 | it wont read the drive | 19:27 |
| Guest49 | so i erased it | 19:27 |
| Guest49 | same deal | 19:27 |
| tomreyn | Guest49: maybe that drive is broken? | 19:27 |
| Guest49 | no it's brand new from STAPLEs and opens fine on my friends computer | 19:27 |
| tomreyn | what kind of drive is this, and whats the name of the ubuntu ISO file you are writing to it? | 19:28 |
| tomreyn | does balena etcher report just "not readable"? i bet it says more than this. | 19:29 |
| Guest49 | Lexar USB flash drive media, ubuntu20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:29 |
| Guest49 | balena etcher seems fine | 19:29 |
| Guest49 | it said that the flash was successful | 19:29 |
| Guest49 | upon subsequently attempting to read the usb, my operating system says its not readable | 19:30 |
| tomreyn | Heston: you probably mean Ubuntu 18.04.1 ? which "./boot/grub/efi.img" do you mean,t hough? the one on the live iso itself? | 19:30 |
| tomreyn | Heston: have you verified the authenticity of the live iso? | 19:30 |
| tomreyn | Guest49: i assume you're not already running linux now, right? is this mac os? | 19:31 |
| Guest49 | yes this is mac os | 19:31 |
| Guest49 | im trying to make a bootable drive with ubuntu so i can use it | 19:31 |
| tomreyn | i bet there will be a mac os channel here, were you can get help with writing the isp to the usb stick | 19:32 |
| rdr | have you tried booting from it? | 19:32 |
| rdr | It may be the case that mac is unable to read the filesystem? | 19:32 |
| Guest49 | well when I go into the terminal to see what might be wrong it says "Unable to repair this whole disk: A GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required (-69773) | 19:33 |
| Guest49 | " | 19:33 |
| Heston | tomreyn, right yes 18.04.1 . The one on the livecd. It's only now failing after having used it a few times. Makes me wonder if it was compromised somehow. The checksum of the iso itself that I used to dd it over checks out | 19:33 |
| tomreyn | well, if the flash failed then testing it further is probably not very useful | 19:33 |
| Guest49 | no the flash was fine | 19:33 |
| Guest49 | etcher said the flash was successful | 19:33 |
| Heston | tomreyn, i mean, the one on the usb flash drive | 19:33 |
| Guest49 | I think i tried to erase what was on the drive, now it's reading it but it looks really confusing | 19:34 |
| rdr | i think you should redo it, and if it says successful just leave it, and then try and boot from it | 19:35 |
| rdr | it may be the case that it is unreadable from macOS | 19:35 |
| Guest49 | Lexar USB flash drive media looks full, even after I erased it. There is a subcategory under Lexar USB flash drive media called "untitled" which appears to be emoty | 19:35 |
| rdr | I know Windows 10 will try to format boot drives sometimes | 19:35 |
| rdr | after i make them | 19:35 |
| rdr | "You have to format Ubuntu_20.04.3 before you can use it, do so now?" | 19:36 |
| liveacoustic | Question: My Dell laptop comes with an image of 20.4.3 LTS, should I use that image or the official image to install Ubuntu? Is the Dell image optimized more for the hardware? | 19:36 |
| Guest49 | how do i do that? | 19:36 |
| Guest49 | rdr how do i do that? | 19:37 |
| rdr | Guest49: if you do format it, it's no longer a boot drive | 19:37 |
| tomreyn | Heston: well if the iso file itself has a correct checksum matching the sha512sum on the releases mirror, you should be fine for this download (you could optionally verify ithe gpg signature over those checksums). and then it seems less likely that the iso file was compromised by the image writer, unless your system is compromized. | 19:37 |
| rdr | as long as Ubuntu is on the drive, it is usually unreadable by Windows for example | 19:37 |
| rdr | liveacoustic: Dell pushes a lot of hardware drivers to the main Ubuntu. I would see no problem using the original image unless you wanted to use something different, say 21.10 instead, or some other configuration, like disk encryption | 19:38 |
| Heston | tomreyn, im sure it wasn't the image writer. It had to happen while it was booted and on the internet. I wonder if that file makes sense as an attack point | 19:38 |
| tomreyn | Guest49: i think you really need to get os x specific support with writing an iso to this device on os x. | 19:39 |
| tomreyn | !alis | Guest49 | 19:39 |
| ubottu | Guest49: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see «/msg Alis help list» or ask in #libera - Example usage: «/msg Alis list http» | 19:39 |
| rdr | Guest49: you could try using this tutorial as well, https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-macos#1-overview | 19:40 |
| Guest49 | I followed the tutorial thats why im so confused | 19:40 |
| Guest49 | wait what how do i find the mac support form? | 19:40 |
| tomreyn | Heston: what is the proof you have that this file (again: where exactly is that located?) was modified by this live system? | 19:40 |
| Guest49 | i dont understand what you told me to do | 19:41 |
| rdr | I don't think there is a specific mac channel | 19:42 |
| rdr | Guest49: did you try booting from the stick after flashing with Etcher? | 19:42 |
| Guest49 | I just saw that it wouldnt read and assumed something was wrong | 19:42 |
| Guest49 | so i tried erasing it | 19:42 |
| tomreyn | Guest49: type this: /join #MacOSX | 19:42 |
| rdr | i would try flashing again, and then try booting. it not being read in macOS is usually not an issue | 19:43 |
| Heston | tomreyn, it's located on a usb flash drive at /Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS amd64/boot/grub/efi.img it fails to pass the md5sum which is provided at /Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS amd64/md5sum.txt | 19:43 |
| Guest49 | I did but it's not letting me send messages | 19:44 |
| Heston | the original file within the iso matches the proper checksum | 19:44 |
| WaV | Should we be expecting a new LTS this April? | 19:44 |
| tomreyn | Heston: i don't think this file is actually writable, since the data from the installer iso is untouchable and only overlayed by another file system which may seem to make files writable (but this will not persist a reboot) | 19:45 |
| tomreyn | WaV: yes, more info on that topic in #ubuntu-next | 19:45 |

| morganu | question: what desktop environments are "real ubuntu" so I can get support here? I looked on the web and didnt find it (bad search terms maybe) so I ask. Mate? Cinnamon? -- are there problems in 21.10? Am I pretty safe installing that? What are the advantages?. (2 questions in one) | 19:54 |
| tomreyn | !flavors | morganu | 19:55 |
| ubottu | morganu: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 19:55 |
| morganu | great thanks | 19:55 |
| rdr | specifically, I don't think the Cinnamon flavour is officially recognized as of yet, MATE definitely is (Ubuntu MATE) | 19:57 |
| tomreyn | there are certainly open bug reports and *some* issues in every release, nothing is perfect, or nothing is perceived as perfect by everybody. generally, LTS releases tend to get more developer love and polish than 9 month support life releases such as 21.10. | 19:57 |
| Maik | rdr: it indeed isn't | 19:57 |
| tomreyn | morganu: Newer Ubuntu releases come with newer software, but that newer software may also be available as backports or third parties on the latest LTS release. But you shouldn't expect non-LTS releases to actively harm your computer. | 19:59 |
| StupidLikeAFox | So, I'm on xubunutu 20.04lts, and I can only seem to open new windows that aren't from a thing already running | 19:59 |
| StupidLikeAFox | "Maximum number of clients reachedUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused | 19:59 |
| StupidLikeAFox | Failed to initialize GTK. | 19:59 |
| StupidLikeAFox | " Is the error I get trying to open a window from a terminal | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | sounds like something went really wrong with Xorg there. logout + login or reboot, and optionally review logs. | 20:00 |
| * tomreyn bbl | 20:01 | |
| morganu | Thanks tomreyn This is a good page I found. https://linuxconfig.org/the-8-best-ubuntu-desktop-environments-20-04-focal-fossa-linux | 20:05 |
| morganu | ... but that page includes cinnamon desktop as downloadable over ubuntu | 20:07 |
| Sunrise | morganu: check the date on the article maybe? | 20:10 |
| Sunrise | Who decides what gets included in the Ubuntu live issues? | 20:11 |
| rdr | i think that was the author's opinion on the "best" desktops, not necssarily those that are official flavours | 20:12 |
| morganu | 2 april 2020. so they dropped some since 20.04 came out? I noticed 20.04 in the title Sunrise | 20:12 |
| rdr | Cinnamon is a new project, while it has been installable for a while the flavour hasn't been official as of yet | 20:14 |
| rdr | er | 20:14 |
| rdr | cinnamon itself is an older project from Linux Mint, but the Ubuntu version is "new" | 20:14 |
| Sunrise | rdr: that makes sense. i remember cinnamon from way back sometime | 20:16 |
| Maik | if you do not have a support question and would like to continue with the desktop conversation would you mind to take it to #ubuntu-discuss or -offtopic please? | 20:21 |
| spaceangel | hello.. i need help :-) how to add icon to systray from (bash) script? | 20:43 |
| spaceangel | i founnd yad, but.. i want just add icon, and remove when sciprt ends | 20:44 |
| ioria | spaceangel, in general, when you name desktop's object (like systray), you should state your DE; infact the deafult gnome-shell does not have a systray | 20:47 |
| StupidLikeAFox | Hmm, can I restart xorg without killing the stuff I have running in screen? | 20:49 |
| StupidLikeAFox | Ah, It seems to be working now- I think I killed what was making the system be unstable | 20:50 |

| Guest59 | I am back to unity | 21:08 |
| Guest59 | on ubuntu 21.10 | 21:08 |
| Guest59 | since upgrade broke gnome looks | 21:08 |
| Guest59 | but unity great | 21:08 |
| leftyfb | Guest59: feel free to discuss in #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:09 |
| Guest59 | how to change unity's menu to fullscreen | 21:09 |
| Guest59 | again | 21:09 |
| Maik | Guest59: unity, though still in the repo's, is not a official desktop anymore. So giving support for it is difficult and out of it's place here i guess | 21:12 |
| Maik | anyway, if you want the dash to become fullscreen just click the maximize button at the top left when it's open | 21:13 |
| Maik | it's depends on your screenresolution though if it works or not iirc | 21:14 |

| jhutchins | Since there isn't a dedicated channel, and this is the generic fallback for Ubuntu as a whole, this would appear to be the channel for support. | 21:21 |
| Maik | jay-m126: please fix your connection.... again | 21:24 |
| Maik | jhutchins: there isn't? #ubuntu-unity | 21:28 |
| Maik | not much people there though but still, the channel exsist | 21:28 |
| Maik | Guest59: by the way, i upgraded from 20.04 al the way to 21.10 once and didn't experience any issues | 21:32 |

| Guest59 | also dash to dock is broken on gnome on 21.10 | 22:27 |
| Guest59 | again | 22:27 |
| Guest59 | I did not want to upgrade | 22:27 |
| Guest59 | but these people support whatever | 22:28 |
| sarnold | Guest59: Tue 25 22:15:14 < jhutchins> Guest59: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? | 22:28 |
| Guest59 | dude I did not expect anything to change | 22:28 |
| sarnold | Guest59: I'm not too surprised dash to dock is broken, I think Ihear that name as "broken" often | 22:28 |
| Guest59 | after upgrade from 21.04 | 22:28 |
| Guest59 | it worked | 22:28 |
| Guest59 | nautilus is broken on it | 22:28 |
| Guest59 | besides | 22:29 |
| Guest59 | window menu is broken too | 22:29 |
| Guest59 | it does had transparancy | 22:29 |
| leftyfb | Guest59: you were told that Unity isn't officially supported | 22:29 |
| Guest59 | I am not on unity | 22:30 |
| Guest59 | I installed that to check it it would be better | 22:30 |
| Guest59 | also | 22:30 |
| === Guest89 is now known as skraito | ||
| leftyfb | no? | 22:30 |
| leftyfb | 2022 Jan 25 16:08:22 <Guest59>I am back to unity | 22:30 |
| Guest59 | for a 10 minutes | 22:31 |
| Guest59 | then I realised it's not working as well | 22:31 |
| Maik | probably a PEBCAK because everything is working as should at my end | 22:33 |
| leftyfb | doesn't 21.10 default to wayland? | 22:33 |
| Maik | yes | 22:33 |
| sarnold | what do upgrades do? | 22:33 |
| leftyfb | which would render x11grab broken | 22:33 |
| whirlofnew | hi | 23:04 |
| kdfj | list | 23:14 |
| leftyfb | kdfj: can we help you with something? | 23:15 |
| Intelo | Is there an app that "just" sends alerts (desktop / phone etc)? There are many chat apps or meeting apps like discord or zoom but what if only an alert app is needed. In which everyone sees a list of people in a room and can simply send them alert. That alert should popup on desktop or mobile. | 23:24 |
| Guest59 | anyway | 23:25 |
| Guest59 | dash to dock is broken with nautilus/ report that | 23:25 |
| Guest59 | cause gnome is not beautiful by default | 23:26 |
| sarnold | Intelo: so.. I haven't seen anything packaged up, or sitting on github, to do alerts to phones. I think most (all?) phone alert things wind up going through either apple servers or google servers or something similar | 23:28 |
| leftyfb | Guest59: feel free to reach out to the dash to dock developer for support with their gnome extension | 23:29 |
| Guest59 | dash to panel * | 23:29 |
| sarnold | Intelo: I'm 70% sure I've seen amazon offer an sdk to do phone alerts. I don't know how it works, what it costs, etc, or if there's any pre-made clients to use it on the phones | 23:29 |
| Intelo | sarnold need for desktop for now at least | 23:30 |
| rdr | Intelo: you could look into KDEConnect on KDE/Phone (GSConnect for GNOME) and turn off the extra functionality, also, there was another one in the store for ubuntu but i forget the name... something qt | 23:30 |
| leftyfb | Intelo: I use pushover to send alerts to my desktop(from local script or browser) and phone | 23:30 |
| leftyfb | Intelo: mind you this has nothing to do with ubuntu | 23:31 |

| Intelo | leftyfb "pushover'? | 23:31 |
| leftyfb | Intelo: pushover.net | 23:31 |
| sarnold | leftyfb: cool | 23:32 |
| Intelo | thanks | 23:32 |
| Intelo | wanted my own free app though | 23:33 |
| leftyfb | Intelo: pushover is free | 23:33 |
| rdr | GSConnect is open source and free too | 23:33 |
| rdr | but only works when connected to the same network (wifi/wired) | 23:33 |
| leftyfb | sarnold: I use it daily for getting alerts when deployments are finished or failed and for my 3d printer | 23:35 |
| sarnold | leftyfb: awesome stuff -- I've thought before it'd be neat to have something like that and figured that telegram bot might be the easiest way to get there | 23:36 |
| Guest59 | I upgraded and it is fixed | 23:38 |
| leftyfb | Guest59: you upgraded what? | 23:38 |
| Guest59 | dash for panel | 23:38 |
| Guest59 | but menu is still black and not transparent | 23:38 |
| leftyfb | Guest59: you do understand that it's a 3rd party extension written by some guy right? | 23:39 |
| leftyfb | until the next time they have an issue with a 3rd party tool. I give it 1 hour | 23:42 |
| sarnold | that long? | 23:43 |
