| Znullptr | what is the best place to report a bug these days? installer refuses to work if two disks have esp partition and the first isn't formatted to fat32 ; even if you explicitly mark it as DO NOT USE and the other is what was booted from | 03:51 |
| lotuspsychje | Znullptr: ubuntu-bug yourpackage, from terminal | 03:52 |
| Znullptr | ty | 03:52 |
| EriC^^ | Znullptr: can you screenshot the error, sounds odd | 03:52 |
| lotuspsychje | Znullptr: adviced to state your issue in this channel first | 03:52 |
| Znullptr | that is the issue | 03:53 |
| Znullptr | can SS one sec | 03:53 |
| EriC^^ | Znullptr: maybe at the bottom 'place to install bootloader' has the first disk? | 03:53 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 03:53 |
| Znullptr | no it has the other drive set | 03:55 |
| Znullptr | what's the default hotkey for snip SS ? or is there not one and just use printscr? | 03:55 |
| EriC^^ | yup | 03:55 |
| Znullptr | text is `The attempt to mount a file system with type vfat in /dev/nvme0n1p1 at /boot/efi failed. | 03:56 |

| Znullptr | I can deal, but assumed i ought to report it | 04:00 |
| Znullptr | lol, if i use ubuntu-bug and select installer i get an error too | 04:01 |

| Znullptr | how so? it's just what is scrolled to | 04:03 |
| Znullptr | if this was discord and i could paste images it'd be easier | 04:03 |
| Znullptr | in any event ; i'll just format it manually and see if it ignores me and installs grub then , then i'll run grub install manually or just move the files and edit config if i must | 04:04 |

| Znullptr | go it to install, then added nv driver bc nouveau was horrid ... and first boot actually hung with primary screen set as a TV that was turned off , then fixed that and primary screen tinted heavily purple, removed monitor profile : didn't work , changed to all blue profile and then back no none and it work. I have to say, much more | 04:54 |

| tuxinator | Any best practice out there, how to achieve downgrade/upgrade/fixed version capability by keeping old packages in a repo (our custom repo with our software) ? | 10:00 |
| ducasse | apt doesn't really support downgrades | 10:04 |
| tuxinator | ducasse: well you can install a specific version, so it does ;-) https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/02/how-to-downgrade-packages-to-specific.html | 10:26 |
| tuxinator | my question is more how to keep the old versions available in the repo while adding new ones | 10:26 |
| tuxinator | as now the olds disappear from list after adding the latest one | 10:27 |
| ducasse | tuxinator: what i mean it is not's supported behavior | 10:27 |
| tuxinator | apt install version= is not supported? | 10:27 |
| tuxinator | what are you talking about | 10:27 |
| tuxinator | back soon | 10:28 |
| ducasse | i was talking about downgrading from for example focal to bionic, sorry i misread you | 10:31 |
| ducasse | as for how a custom repo deals with old versions i've never tried, most stop serving them on an update | 10:33 |

| marc__ | Cant ever remember the last time i used anti virus i havent used it in 10 years lolz | 15:55 |
| marc__ | didnt even run anti virus on windows 10 when i had it. | 15:56 |
| Maik | kristian_on_linu: you actually don't need a anti virus on Ubuntu or Linux in general, the reports are false positive anyway | 15:57 |
| kristian_on_linu | Maik, the that was really not the question | 15:57 |
| Maik | still it is as is | 15:58 |
| Maik | if you want a anti virus use clam-av | 15:58 |
| kristian_on_linu | Maik, you are wasting my time here | 15:58 |

| webchat24 | If you have a video or tutorial where i can learn all this. thank you a lot and have a great day! | 16:04 |
| Maik | webchat24: nothing on youtube? | 16:05 |
| Maik | maybe try asking in #ubuntu-server | 16:05 |
| webchat24 | There is a lot of video where they generate the key directly but i imported the key from Launchpad. I will check ubuntu server libera chat, thank you a lot! have a nice day @Maik | 16:07 |
| ducasse | kristian_on_linu: there are a few commercial ones | 16:14 |
| ducasse | webchat24: have you got both the public and private key? | 16:15 |
| webchat24 | i generated both of key with PuTTy on windows | 16:16 |
| webchat24 | and imported the pub to the linux server | 16:16 |
| webchat24 | is it better to delete this imported pub key and generate this pair on the server directly with ssh-keygen? | 16:16 |
| ducasse | if they're generated by putty you need to convert them to openssh format | 16:17 |
| ducasse | generate them on the client, copy the public key to "/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server | 16:17 |
| webchat24 | Sorry i am a newbie, when you say "on the client", on the server with ssh-keygen? | 16:19 |
| ducasse | on the machine you are ssh'ing from | 16:30 |

| Anf | Hello to all. I am currently setting up a new backup on a new HDD and have always used borg backup before. But now I've heard about Restic and have taken a closer look at the tool. Can't decide between the two now? Are there advantages and disadvantages? I only use Linux and I don't need any compression. | 21:15 |
| matsaman | Anf: I've always felt rdiff-backup got all the implementation details right for end usage | 21:18 |
| matsaman | and if you don't need incremental backups, then rsync is already enough | 21:19 |
| matsaman | and if you need to be able to restore extra rapidly, you'll want something more like FS snapshots | 21:19 |
| Anf | I was already going to implement it incrementally. So a repository and shnapshots. Both tools, restic and borg, can do this | 21:21 |
| matsaman | I don't really understand why they make you init | 21:29 |
| matsaman | rdiff-backup is so simple: rdiff-backup origin/ destination/ | 21:29 |
| matsaman | I don't really want encryption in a backup tool, either. I can do that separately | 21:30 |
| matsaman | but if we just compare borgbackup & restic... | 21:31 |
| matsaman | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20147298 | 21:31 |
| matsaman | doesn't seem like they're tremendously different | 21:32 |
| matsaman | restic is in Go? | 21:32 |
| matsaman | so honestly I might think borg, in python, will last longer | 21:32 |
| Anf | Yes, restic is in Go and borg in Phython | 21:33 |
| matsaman | but they'll probably both be replaced by the time either go or python go out of fashion | 21:33 |
| matsaman | this looks like a nice comparison: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2021-05-21-borg-vs-restic.html | 21:34 |
| matsaman | still not that different, though | 21:34 |
| matsaman | if those differences don't matter to you, I would say pick your favorite between go & python | 21:34 |
| matsaman | you may well find yourself wanting to modify it at some point | 21:34 |
| Anf | matsaman Thank you so much. | 21:37 |
| matsaman | the licensing is also similar, so I didn't mention that, but one should consider licensing also | 21:38 |
| greenerthanyou | ok I asked about supported Ubuntu flavors so I wouldnt be orphaned here but I see that that was not true. Ask a mate question and there is just deep silence. "Oh, pickles!" | 21:49 |

| hans | `apt purge unattended-upgrades` does not stop unattended-upgrades, looks like a bug | 22:50 |
| hans | like you can still see unattended-upgrades running in htop | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | did you run apt with sudo, did it succeed? | 22:52 |
| tomreyn | which state does the task have in htop? | 22:53 |
| tomreyn | does "dpkg -S unattended-upgrades" still list a package providing it? | 22:54 |
| hans | i ssh'ed into there with root, so i didn't actually use sudo | 22:54 |
| hans | sorry can't check the state, i SIGTERM'ed it | 22:54 |
| hans | dpkg -S unattended-upgrades \n language-pack-en: /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/unattended-upgrades.mo \n language-pack-en: /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/unattended-upgrades.mo \n language-pack-en: /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/unattended-upgrades.mo | 22:55 |
| tomreyn | hmm, working as root - is this actually ubuntu then? if so, which release? | 22:55 |
| hans | oh, it's 18.04 | 22:55 |
| hans | is 18.04 still maintained? | 22:55 |
| tomreyn | yes, it is for main and restricted components | 22:56 |
| tomreyn | for another year | 22:57 |
| tomreyn | there seems to be no dpkg managed package installed that still provides an unattended-upgrades command, though | 22:59 |
| jhutchins | I was never clear whether delete/purge actually killed a running process. | 22:59 |
| hans | tomreyn: i never started that program manually. i think its just started automatically after installation | 22:59 |
| leftyfb | it does | 23:00 |
| leftyfb | and no, most programs do not die when uninstalling them. You either need to stop them (preferably before removing) or reboot | 23:01 |
| tomreyn | there will be /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer and /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily | 23:05 |
| tomreyn | and a loaded timer + service unit | 23:05 |
| hans | leftyfb: that's weird. hard to imagine a situation where you -want- a deleted program to keep running post deletion | 23:10 |
| leftyfb | kernels | 23:10 |
| rdr | i have had that before | 23:10 |
| rdr | like when i was running GNOME but uninstalled it to get KDE | 23:10 |
| rdr | it would suck if it just killed the session halfway through apt doign stuff | 23:10 |
| leftyfb | and yes, people will remove things like web server packages while the web server still runs | 23:10 |
| Aavar | I created a new zfs storage pool for lxc "lxc storage create default2 zfs size=200GiB", but how can I tell my VM to use it? | 23:17 |
| rdr | would depend on what vm software you're using? | 23:17 |
| rdr | this is how you do it using QEMU, for example: https://libvirt.org/storage.html#StorageBackendZFS | 23:19 |
| Aavar | rdr: lxc | 23:19 |
| rdr | have you checked out this blog? https://stanislas.blog/2018/02/lxc-zfs-pool-lxd/ I haven't heard of lxc before this so I'm not sure | 23:20 |
| leftyfb | Aavar: try #lxc | 23:23 |
| Aavar | leftyfb: I did. No answer. Tnx anyway :) I going to sleep | 23:23 |
| leftyfb | Aavar: wait longer. That is a proper place to get support with lxc | 23:23 |
| Croran | what kinds of settings should i expect to lose if i delete my dconf 'user' configuration file? | 23:26 |
| rdr | what desktop you running? | 23:27 |
| rdr | you can look at dconf-editor (a program) and all that stuff will be removed and reset to the defaults | 23:27 |
| rdr | stuff like your monitor layout, gnome extensions, background, etc | 23:27 |
| rdr | your file bookmarks are in a different file I think | 23:27 |
| oerheks | dconf 'user' configuration file? such does not exist like in windows, dconf handles a lot of files and settings | 23:30 |
| rdr | i think he's referring to ~/.config/dconf | 23:34 |
| oerheks | oh, that settings file | 23:34 |
| Croran | I'm running unity desktop | 23:52 |
| Croran | ok. that stuff sounds pretty easy to reconfigure | 23:53 |
| Croran | I'm just getting some log messages about compiq sqlite errors | 23:53 |
| Croran | so i'm thinking deleting that file may resolve them | 23:53 |
