[00:00] I use ffmpeg to transcode [00:00] I even have intel-media-va-driver-non-free and no joy. looking to offload to the icpu, have an i9 chip with quick sync. [00:04] what makes you think your hardware supports it [00:07] RootDet: I use ffmpeg to transcode video, what are you trying to do? [00:08] PLex server and offload transcoding. but i don't see the hw transcoding from the icpu as available [00:08] my cpu has IntelĀ® Quick Sync Video, so Hw transcoding is available [00:09] RootDet: mmm, daft question [00:09] RootDet: has that machine got a graphics card plugged in? [00:09] sorry [00:10] has it got a *monitor* plugged in? [00:10] yes [00:10] okay, and you've got hardware-accelerated graphics showing up on the monitor [00:10] ? [00:11] Yep. I also enabled igpu was enabled on my motherboard, and there is no other setting to disdable quicksync [00:12] I just don't see it loading the i965 driver, which is what i would need [00:21] Hello Guys, not see you for a long time [00:22] I'm thinking about installing Fedora. Please change my mind. [00:24] why? [00:24] cbreak: why what? [00:25] vimart: use the tools that suit you best. [00:25] why do you want to install fedora? [00:25] why do you want us to change your mind? [00:26] do you want to get rolling in updates? [00:26] cbreak: have you use both ubuntu and Fedora? [00:26] if not don't speak please [00:26] no. [00:26] so you know now what to do :-) [00:26] Thanks anyway [00:27] ? [00:27] I see nobody has experience with both distros [00:27] why not? [00:27] because your statmement will be invalid, lack of experience [00:28] if you don't want answers, don't ask questions, simple. [00:28] You'll be talking only about distro that you use ATM [00:28] mate, I want to hear from someone who used Fedora, Ubuntu [00:28] do you even comphrehend? [00:28] stop being smartmouth and fighting. [00:29] I told you who's opinion I do want, then please do not talk to me anymore, period. [00:30] vimart: i will talk to you [00:30] use what works best for you [00:30] vimart, wrong channel for your poll [00:31] vimart: I'm more than experienced enough for questions in this channel. [00:32] vimart: so stop talking like an unfriendly person and get some manners [00:34] it's offtopic, but i did a lot of distrohopping. I mean a LOT. tried pretty much everything looking for a *perfect* distro, in the end I realized I was on an endless quest, came back to Ubuntu and now I just add a theme to emacs and a forum i go to to make it look like the default terminal theme [00:36] vimart: Fedora is the unpaid beta tester version of RHEL, which is not gratis. I would not advise you use it [00:37] vimart: probably Debian testing is what you want [00:38] matsaman: why not? I know what Fedora is, where it comes from. I'm Linux user since first versions of RedHat [00:38] because it's exploitative, and because your desires as a Fedora user will always be of a lower priority to paid RHEL users' desires [00:38] I've Debian on PC running 7years, I need some distro for my Lenovo (business laptop) Kubuntu runs well on it but... I don't know I think I'm bored :-) [00:39] sounds like it [00:39] maybe it's time to throw your time away on something other than OS fiddling [00:39] I jumped from Xfce to KDE I love it but... maybe I need a woman? [00:39] yes, you need a woman [00:39] I divorced my ex 3 years ago after bloody 19years [00:39] :-) [00:49] well, truly, more fish in the sea [01:14] is there a good reference guide for the dconf database? [01:20] basicly https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/dconf [01:39] Hey guys, I have a question about the ubuntu extended security maintanance (currently for 14.04,16.04). On a free (personal account) you can add up to 3 machine, but what happens if a hdd for example dies(the installation is dead) and you cannot dettach this machine from the UA via cli? Is there any mechanism to remove the dead machine from your account? [02:00] I imagine you could contact support [02:15] any gnome shell extension to make apps go into groups instead of multiple windows [02:19] goddard: group by what? [02:22] group similar apps [02:22] instead of having multiple windows of the same app [02:22] just make it the same window with tabs [02:33] goddard: that's the default gnome behavior [02:34] ubuntu changes it [02:34] you might have to install "gnome-session", log out and then choose "GNOME" either the default wayland or x11 [02:35] goddard: I use dash to dock which does that for me [02:35] you can also type alt+` [02:35] goddard: oh, not for windows though, only the icons on the dock [02:36] and i'D be surprised if gnomes default bhaviour would be to convince apps to have evry instance in tabs [02:37] not all apps are going to support that regardless [02:37] oh i misunderstood [02:37] i thought they meant while doing alt+tab [02:38] hi [02:40] yeah windows has that feature with an application called "Groupy" from StarDock [02:40] and MacOS has that feature out of the box [02:41] You can make applications of the same type just be a tab [02:41] super handy [02:42] My Ubuntu 20.04 has been running for about 2 weeks, no issues. Then all of sudden today it stopped responding. I KVM'd in and there was the error "[1594642.9898761 NMI: PCI system error (SERR) for reason b0 on CPU O.". I have tried googling this but getting mixed answers. Is this pointing to a hardware issue? [02:50] axsuul: ya maybe [03:06] axsuul: Possibly heat [03:49] thanks === SmokenatorZ66 is now known as SmokenatorZ6 [07:14] I'm still on the Ubuntu LIVE CD. Today it's back to pastel colored names and gray left border with white background. (I'm not using either firefox dark add-on). Yesterday Gamja was interactive and had big icons and a black edge. I rebooted because it froze - firefox probably ate all the memory. How do I get it back to the interactive one? [07:15] and yes, talking about Gamja webchat client. [07:18] Hi there. I am trying to edit my network-config file so that I can connect my Raspberry Pi to wi-fi. If my network name or password has a "#" character, how can I escape this so that it will connect properly? I currently have both the name and password in a string. I tried ## but it doesn't seem to be working. [07:19] I am running the arm64 port of Ubuntu Server 20.04.3. [07:21] Aero: you might know more than me did you try \ and \# ? [07:23] I would only try using it as normal, quoting the entire thing, and \# [07:24] Yeah \# causes a kernel panic. D: [07:25] I tried without escaping and it didn't connect. [07:26] not sure why you'd have # in a wifi password anyway, TBH [07:27] https://xkcd.com/936/ [07:27] can you use nmtui?

[07:56] Croran: https://inkscape.org/about/features/ [07:56] note sure [07:57] I don't think inkscape has any built-in ocr and i don't think it's designed to manage a library of documents either [07:58] beyond just having a file browser in the open menu [08:01] looks like OpenKM might work [08:01] though it's really set up for multi-user and seems a bit overkill [09:22] Morning, have a good day guys [09:22] morning [09:23] just a question: can ubuntu 20.04 write to ntfs filesystems without trouble? i need to write files larger than 4.3 gb on a pen drive and so i can't use fat32 [09:24] yes, ntfs has been supported well for many years [09:25] i'm asking for this because i know ntfs on linux was read only, few years ago [09:26] define few. maybe you are misremembering. ntfs-3g has been around since 2007 [09:26] M$ never gave ntfs specs and some parts were like "encrypted" so that none except M$ could write on them [09:27] I've been writing to ntfs from linux for over a decade [09:28] ah ok, so it's stable and reliable now, thankyou === pasiz5 is now known as pasiz [11:15] Hello Miles8of9 how you doing? [11:16] vimart: sorry, this channel is for Ubuntu support. [11:16] Morning, yes you can read and write to NTFS, I think you can do that for a few years already [12:05] hey peeps [12:06] im looking for something that will make similar apps into tabs instead of different windows [12:10] goddard: can you expand on that a little more please? sounds like you want a tiling window manager capable of tabs [12:19] ThinkT510: if two apps are the same put them in the same window and have tabs [12:20] what apps are you referring to? [12:21] ThinkT510: all [12:21] in that case it would need to be a feature of the window manager you are using [12:24] im using gnome shell [12:25] you can search to see if there is a gnome extension that could do that. I'm not aware of one [12:29] ok [12:39] i *think* awesome can do something similar [13:00] ducasse: i was hoping it would be an easy extension to install [13:00] its a useful feature and makes the program switching for similar apps less clunky [13:01] having to right click and then select the app in the window list is slow and clunky [13:02] i use a tiling wm and keep all my apps in pre-set locations [13:02] thats cools [13:17] Hi folks [13:24] hey hey [14:45] Hi everyone I hope y'all doing goodie [14:45] What's the preferred way to get python 32 bits on Ubuntu 18.04?

It seems libz.a is not compiled with -fPIC. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zlib/+bug/1804739 [14:46] Launchpad bug 1804739 in zlib (Ubuntu) "libz.a is not compiled with -fPIC" [Undecided, Confirmed] [14:46] Is there any alternative libz provider? [15:01] amosbird: You can always build it yourself. [15:02] anyone home? [15:02] many people [15:22] Is there a newer kernel available on Ubuntu 20 repos? I installed 5.13.0-21-generic but radeontop is complaining kernel could be too old to get VRAM usage. I am trying to debug a blender crash (http://ix.io/3NXX has the trace) [15:27] I wouldn't be swapping kernels best on 'maybe too old' [15:27] 'based' on [15:28] ikonia: same, but I am checking all possibilities [15:28] icedwater: i don't know about a Ubuntu 20 but you probably meant 20.04 [15:28] Maik: yes, I forgot that 20.10 et al are a thing already [15:29] 20.10 is gone a long time already [15:29] EOL [15:31] icedwater: iirc ubuntu 20.04 should have the 5.13.0.27 kernel at this point [15:31] that's same base version though [15:31] kernel is the last thing I'd be looking to change for a single application [15:32] I'd be looking at the snap, where it came from, it's requirements and alternatives both in terms of provider and version [15:40] ikonia: hmm, for what it's worth, I got a similar crash on the 20.04 repo's package [15:40] always useful to know [15:43] Hi, I have a beginner's question regarding X server. If multiple users are connected at the same time to the GUI on the same machine, do they have different $DISPLAY variables values? from what I read they do but I just want to be sure [15:44] h4k1m0u: %90 of the time yes [15:44] it really depends on how the X server / desktop is being offered, but mostly, yes [15:45] ikonia, thanks I'm getting started with XCB for pedagogical reasons, so it took me a while to understand this new terminlogy (what's a display, and all that) [15:50] ikonia: I'm stepping back through snap channels for blender, they're all from blenderfoundation with a green tick so I assume they're legit. Haven't seen requirements in `snap info blender` yet, though [15:51] icedwater: sure they are legit, no doubt, the key think is understanding (in my view from what your stack trace shows) is the dri interaction, [15:51] but that's a pretty wide statement to make as there is not a huge ammount to go on [15:54] ikonia: yeah, the memory locations in the trace are mostly the same, e.g. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iris_dri.so(+0xc1f789) [15:54] Nothing much else to go on, the bottom paragraphs look the same [15:57] how do I reinstall a package from a different repo? Somehow during an update, some things got stuck: "libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.1 (= 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.10) but 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed" on other packages I simply removed and installed again, but I think with libssl I might shoot myself in the food if I uninstall it. [15:58] foot. fraudian error, I'm hungry ;) === ajfriesen70 is now known as ajfriesen7 === echo is now known as freakazoidcity [16:34] ok, I forced the reinstall with specific version and remove the external repo. this looks fine now. [16:36] hi [16:40] exit [16:48] Howdy. I'm trying to access an old NAS and my system isn't able to access its SMB shares. I'm thinking it's an old version. Are there issues getting ubuntu to mount older SMB shares and is there a way to get it working? [16:50] !samba | TheSHAD0W maybe this can help? [16:50] TheSHAD0W maybe this can help?: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/samba-introduction [16:57] ikonia: just to update, all the snap stable versions of the blender crashed with more or less the same report, as did 2.82a from the apt repo :( I wonder if I'm missing some kernel extra drivers for the GPU [16:59] icedwater: check sudo lshw -C video to see your graphics driver [17:04] lotuspsychje: thanks. There's a HD Graphics 5500 (Intel) with id 2, driver=i915, and a Radeon R5 M330 with id 0, driver=radeon [17:04] ah its a combo [17:05] icedwater: some combo amd/intel cards might have a specific 'launch application with... intel or amd' [17:06] maybe doublecheck if thats the case for you [17:06] lotuspsychje: yeah, thanks for reminding me of that possibility. I'll see if I can find the command line option [17:14] icedwater: its a bit complicated, but maybe this to doublecheck; https://askubuntu.com/questions/1286541/hybrid-amd-intel-graphics-on-ubuntu-20-04-cant-switch-the-discrete-graphics-c [17:16] lotuspsychje: thanks for the heads-up. DRI_PRIME=1 still causes glxgears to crash. Maybe it's an issue with the actual card...? [17:18] icedwater: are you sure your card can take blender specs? [17:18] Oh, lol... `glxinfo|grep -i open` shows only the Intel card [17:19] lotuspsychje: yeah, I ran an earlier version of blender and it was complaining about something with the kernel. Unfortunately I don't recall when and which version this was, maybe my apt history has it [17:19] icedwater: yeah, maybe its only launching your apps on intel atm [17:23] can we see a paste of your dmesg too please, maybe volunteers can see other culprits icedwater [17:23] lotuspsychje: hang on, I'll try enabling the switcheroo first. I'll check in after a reboot [17:24] kk [17:29] icedwater: also interesting; https://www.devmanuals.net/install/ubuntu/ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa/installing-switcheroo-control-on-ubuntu20-04.html [17:35] Hello everyone. What's the best method to install a package on focal from hirsute? Particularly I need 'dropbear-initramfs', and no, it is not in focal-backports repo... [17:36] !pinning | hid3 maybe [17:36] hid3 maybe: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [17:39] hid3: just, hirsute is end of life now [17:39] thanks, will have a read [17:39] looks like hirsute and impish use exactly same version of 'dropbear-initramfs', so doesn't matter [17:54] lotuspsychje: switcheroo-control was already installed. I've noticed the grub option of radeon.modeset=1 or modeset=1 doesn't help in my case either, but during boot time I get a few radeon-related messages [17:56] icedwater: did you see something similar in gnome? Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" option [17:56] lotuspsychje: I'm using i3, unfortunately, let me log out to check with gnome/unity [17:56] (right mouse click in gnome activities) [17:58] In the meantime, here's my dmesg [17:58] http://ix.io/3O2j [18:01] icedwater: this is probably not too good; radeon 0000:04:00.0: fence driver on ring 0 use gpu addr 0x0000000080000c00 [18:02] lotuspsychje: no, running with Dedicated Graphics Card didn't work, and I think it won't until I fix the underlying issue [18:03] icedwater: you got some weird acpi errors aswell, ACPI: video: Video Device [GFX0] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) [18:03] Anyway, thanks for your time and help. I'll head to bed first, it's 2am. :) [18:04] allright icedwater hope you find your issue [18:04] icedwater: maybe consider a lenovo bios/firmware update [18:05] (if available) [18:06] DMAR: [Firmware Bug]: Your BIOS is broken; bad RMRR [0x000000009d800000-0x000000009fffffff] ouch [18:08] Ooh, interesting [18:09] I just noticed also that crash reports persist across logout... in gnome a report said 'current desktop: i3' :P [18:10] Hi. Where I can download linux-modules-extra-5.16? [18:10] I have new motherboard so I upgraded system to 5.16 kernel, now intel graphics works fine, but now I am missing aufs module and docker can not start.

[18:29] but docker does not work without aufs module =( [18:37] kes: If you've run yourself out ahead of Ubuntu packaging your only alternative is to either find someone else who's built and packaged it, or build the module yourself. [18:38] kes, afaik, aufs.ko is in linux-modules-5.1x.x-xx-generic not in -extra : do you have inux-modules-5.16.0-xxx-generic_xxx_amd64.deb installed ?

[23:19] yeah i can ignore it, how do I do that [23:20] or actually fix the issue would work too [23:20] fixing the issue could be done by opening a request with stripe's support and asking them what's the new url of their repo [23:21] it will just ignore the issue by default, so if you 'apt upgrade' as root now, it will just upgrade everything else except stripe === JoelJoel is now known as Joel [23:23] relipse: please pronounce the full version number which should be 20.04 not only 20 [23:23] !yy:mm [23:23] 20.04 [23:25] ah wait it was !yy.mm [23:42] relipse: https://status.bintray.com/ also returns a 502 bad gateway message for me - i guess bintray.com's services are generally down currently (probably a temporary issue) [23:45] oh, actually that service is shutting down. so you'll need to remove / replace those apt repositories
