[10:04] apt doesn't really support downgrades [10:26] 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] my question is more how to keep the old versions available in the repo while adding new ones [10:27] as now the olds disappear from list after adding the latest one [10:27] tuxinator: what i mean it is not's supported behavior [10:27] apt install version= is not supported? [10:27] what are you talking about [10:28] back soon [10:31] i was talking about downgrading from for example focal to bionic, sorry i misread you [10:33] as for how a custom repo deals with old versions i've never tried, most stop serving them on an update [11:25] ducasse: ok, so just a misunderstanding :D === EriC^^_33 is now known as EriC^^__ [13:24] I am using ubuntu for 2 months.

[15:57] 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] Maik, the that was really not the question [15:58] still it is as is [15:58] if you want a anti virus use clam-av [15:58] Maik, you are wasting my time here [15:59] thanks for the compliment [15:59] kristian_on_linu: maybe ask in #linux [16:01] otherwise... search the web [16:04] Hello all, i installed ubuntu server 20.04 LTS and imported a SSH keys from Launchpad. i am a little bit lost how can i log in now without a password, what i have to change in ssh/sshd_config or how can i log with different accoutn with the ssh key pub [16:04] If you have a video or tutorial where i can learn all this. thank you a lot and have a great day! [16:05] webchat24: nothing on youtube? [16:05] maybe try asking in #ubuntu-server [16:07] There is a lot of video where they generate the key directly but i imported the key from Launchpad.

[16:16] i generated both of key with PuTTy on windows [16:16] and imported the pub to the linux server [16:16] is it better to delete this imported pub key and generate this pair on the server directly with ssh-keygen? [16:17] if they're generated by putty you need to convert them to openssh format [16:17] generate them on the client, copy the public key to "/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server [16:19] Sorry i am a newbie, when you say "on the client", on the server with ssh-keygen?

Seems as soon as I switch to 120hz the audio shuts off. If I go back to 60hz it starts playing again. Any suggestions? [20:45] Looks like I got it. I had to install nvidia drivers from the nvidia website, they are newer. [20:47] shepherd_: gj === seednode2 is now known as seednode [21:15] 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. [21:18] Anf: I've always felt rdiff-backup got all the implementation details right for end usage [21:19] and if you don't need incremental backups, then rsync is already enough [21:19] and if you need to be able to restore extra rapidly, you'll want something more like FS snapshots [21:21] I was already going to implement it incrementally. So a repository and shnapshots. Both tools, restic and borg, can do this [21:29] I don't really understand why they make you init [21:29] rdiff-backup is so simple: rdiff-backup origin/ destination/ [21:30] I don't really want encryption in a backup tool, either. I can do that separately [21:31] but if we just compare borgbackup & restic... [21:31] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20147298 [21:32] doesn't seem like they're tremendously different [21:32] restic is in Go? [21:32] so honestly I might think borg, in python, will last longer [21:33] Yes, restic is in Go and borg in Phython [21:33] but they'll probably both be replaced by the time either go or python go out of fashion [21:34] this looks like a nice comparison: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2021-05-21-borg-vs-restic.html [21:34] still not that different, though [21:34] if those differences don't matter to you, I would say pick your favorite between go & python [21:34] you may well find yourself wanting to modify it at some point [21:37] matsaman Thank you so much. [21:38] the licensing is also similar, so I didn't mention that, but one should consider licensing also [21:49] ok I asked about supported Ubuntu flavors so I wouldnt be orphaned here but I see that that was not true.

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