| duuude | I heard ubuntu is including 0ad by default in some experimental releases, is that true? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | duuude: you can see the publishing history on the source package page on launchpad https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/0ad | 00:02 |
| duuude | Maybe it is the snap one? | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | https://play0ad.com/download/linux/#Ubuntu lists several options | 00:05 |
| sarnold | oh, hah, I missed your 'by default' in your question .. | 00:05 |
| sarnold | I doubt a leaf application like 0ad will be in any of the installation seeds.. | 00:06 |
| tomreyn | oh i missed that, too | 00:06 |
| duuude | someone said that and i shivered in horror | 00:06 |
| Maik | duuude: you have actual proof of that? Link or somehing? | 00:09 |
| Maik | because 'i heard' just doesn't cut it for me | 00:10 |
| duuude | Some rando told me. Probably not true. | 00:12 |
| duuude | If y'all don't know about it | 00:12 |
| sarnold | heh, I learn about things from google's 'news' feed all the time.. | 00:13 |
| sarnold | but it seems pretty unlikely to me | 00:13 |
| Maik | if that was the case, the first one to write about it would be OMG!Ubuntu and since they didn't post any kind of article about it, it's not true | 00:14 |
| Maik | duuude: besides that, such questions are better suited in #ubuntu-discuss since it's not a support question :) | 00:15 |
| Maik | night peeps, chat later | 00:16 |
| duuude | cool, i just came to the ubuntu channel and didn't see an offtopic link | 00:16 |
| Maik | duuude: we have #ubuntu-discuss for other ubuntu talk and there's #ubuntu-offtopic for casual talk | 00:17 |
| black_13 | how would you make a portable executeable | 00:42 |
| i_am_beets | Depends on what you're trying to execute I suppose. You might be able to just unzip an apps' tarball onto a USB and it'll include everything you need in there. | 00:44 |
| VeryGeneric | Does anyone know how Ubuntu ships Yaru pre-enabled? I've been trying to figure it out to no avail | 01:44 |
| === genii is now known as genii-meeting | ||
| sarnold | VeryGeneric: you can use the seeded-in-ubuntu tool to figure out what's kinda default.. | 02:03 |
| sarnold | $ seeded-in-ubuntu -b yaru-theme-gnome-shell | 02:03 |
| sarnold | yaru-theme-gnome-shell is seeded in: | 02:03 |

| Guest74 | Does anyone have any experience with Ubuntu Advantage subscription portal? | 02:41 |
| Guest74 | under "UA Infra - Essential (Virtual)" it says 11 Machines | 02:41 |
| Guest74 | does that mean I can attach up to 11 VMs to my subscription? | 02:41 |
| tomreyn | Canonical commercial support does | 02:41 |
| Guest74 | or that i already have attached 11 machines to my subscription? | 02:42 |
| Guest74 | I tried calling support but their phone quality was really bad and was cutting out every second word. I eventually got disconnected by the operator | 02:43 |
| bigbianarch | webchat18 `cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf` | 02:45 |

| rdr | or rather... 335 is the directory name | 02:47 |
| rdr | actually, it's /home/rdr/snap/fluffychat/335/ | 02:48 |
| webchat18 | bigbianarch https://pastebin.com/s25BsFRW | 02:48 |

| leftyfb | donofrio: please stop asking for help with WSL here. You've been told this before. It's not something we can support. Nor is desktop officially supported on WSL | 04:27 |
| donofrio | leftyfb, I'm not doing anything that is not stock, really this time my wayland-0 question is me trying to change a stock outcome to use only one screen and not all three...I can live with all three but really would like just one (and by stock I mean install w11, add ubuntu from ms-store and run it | 04:31 |
| leftyfb | uh, desktop on WSL is not stock. WSL uses a cloud image, Microsoft kernel and no display server | 04:32 |
| leftyfb | Desktop is not supported on WSL and definitely not here. That’s not to say you can’t get it to work, but that is not a supported feature | 04:33 |

| taholmes160 | Good Morning everyone -- I got my new Ubuntu box up and running. I Installed tightvnc server on the ubuntu box, and when I try to connect to it -- I get the generic x server grey screen -- I have googled around and tried several different Xstartup files -- none seem to change anything -- this computer is on the same network and specifically on the same switch (a 1 gig switch) as the windows compt | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | !info libc6 focal | 13:58 |
| ubottu | libc6 (2.31-0ubuntu9.2, focal): GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Built by glibc. Size 2,652 kB / 13,246 kB | 13:58 |
| taholmes160 | er that iwll be accessing it -- so I dont mind serving gnome | 13:58 |
| taholmes160 | im not sure how to resolve the issue of the grey screen | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | brjl: see what ubottu said, you can check such on https://packages.ubuntu.com | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | dongsai: sorry, we can't support ESM here, you'll need to talk to Canonical on that | 14:00 |
| nikolam | Hi, I were under impression before, that the only way to set btrfs compression on dataset is to set chattr +C on it. Now I am unsure if actually +c is needed to be set with btrfs commands.. For some reason it refuses to set chattr +C on newly created btrfs dataset.. | 14:00 |
| tomreyn | dongsai: specifically, we only support the ubuntu releases listed in the /topic | 14:00 |
| tomreyn | taholmes160: you haven't told us which ubuntu version you're using. note that the latest one defaults to xwayland / wayland, which is probably not compatible to the tightvnc server | 14:02 |
| taholmes160 | OOPS -- im sorry -- hang on lemme make sure | 14:03 |
| ice9 | is it possible to disable snap auto update? | 14:03 |
| taholmes160 | Tomreyn -- Im using 21.10 | 14:03 |
| KBar | ice9 I don't think so. it's a "feature": https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date also check https://askubuntu.com/questions/930593/how-to-disable-autorefresh-in-snap | 14:04 |
| tomreyn | taholmes160: this defaults to wayland. you can change it in gdm's configuration file for gdm, and on the gdm session chooser for the actual desktop session | 14:04 |
| KBar | ice9: generally you don't want to disable it, unless you're on a data plan | 14:04 |
| tomreyn | taholmes160: gdm being the graphical login manager | 14:05 |
| ice9 | KBar, it's annoying because for example while you are working on firefox, it terminates to install the update without your consent | 14:05 |
| taholmes160 | @tomreyn -- im afraid you just went over my head -- im sorry | 14:05 |
| KBar | ice9: snaps weren't developed for desktop users specifically, there are servers as well | 14:06 |
| KBar | s/specifically/only | 14:06 |
| jchittum | ice9: no you cannot completely disable. I believe there is a feature for setting when updates can happen though. Here's information: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/disabling-automatic-refresh-for-snap-from-store/707 | 14:07 |
| KBar | ice9: try the steps described in that question on askubuntu and ^ that link | 14:07 |
| jchittum | ice9: snaps were originally developed as part of the Ubuntu phone (press F). Since then they've become the "core" of Ubuntu Core, and have wide usage on desktop and server. for instance, in clouds, many cloud agents are delivered as snaps | 14:08 |
| KBar | jchittum: interesting and that actually makes sense. do you happen to have a link for your claims, for the lack of a better word, sorry? | 14:09 |
| KBar | for this "snaps were originally developed as part of the Ubuntu phone (press F)" part specifically | 14:10 |
| neure | after sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop, how to I switch back to gnome desktop look? | 14:12 |
| neure | I think it changed my window manager (appearance) at leat | 14:12 |
| taholmes160 | can someone tell me how to address a specific person in here -- I cant remember | 14:12 |
| KBar | neure: on the login screen there should be a gear icon (probably something else on KDE). click on it and select GNOME Session or something similar | 14:13 |
| neure | KBar, I thought so but there is no such gear icon | 14:14 |
| neure | This is recently installed 20.04 | 14:14 |
| KBar | taholmes160: as in DM them? | 14:14 |
| neure | How can I check which desktop I can currently running? | 14:14 |
| KBar | neure: you probably need to "Switch User" first | 14:15 |
| jchittum | KBar: does answer 2 on this suffice? https://askubuntu.com/questions/963404/what-do-snap-snapd-and-snappy-refer-to | 14:15 |
| KBar | neure: echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP | 14:15 |
| jchittum | I can try to dig through more Ubuntu Phone history, but it predates my time at Canonical. | 14:16 |
| neure | That says ubuntu:GNOME | 14:16 |
| neure | so I am already in gnome desktop | 14:16 |
| neure | the issue is that simply installing kde-plasma-desktop it changed how my gnome desktop looks | 14:16 |
| neure | so my question is, how do I restore gnome desktop to look like it did? | 14:17 |
| KBar | neure: well, that's how it works | 14:17 |
| KBar | neure: you can't. Reinstall | 14:17 |
| neure | what if I uninstall kde-plasma-desk ? | 14:17 |
| KBar | neure: check this thread on UbuntuForums: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2415676 | 14:17 |
| jchittum | taholmes160 : if you use their nick in a message, most people will get an alert. For DM you can do `/msg <NICK` | 14:17 |
| KBar | neure: that's just a virtual/meta package. It's empty. | 14:18 |
| KBar | neure: even if you delete all 200 packages one by one, their config files will still be left | 14:18 |
| neure | Is there no remove-also-config files? | 14:18 |
| KBar | neure: even `dpkg-reconfigure` won't help | 14:18 |
| neure | huh, that kind of sucks | 14:19 |
| neure | what the config files are in question? | 14:19 |
| KBar | neure there is `apt purge` but you may completely break your system | 14:19 |
| KBar | neure: check that thread. it explains everything | 14:19 |
| KBar | 20 minute read max | 14:19 |
| neure | and TLDR? | 14:19 |
| KBar | neure: YOU CANT | 14:19 |
| KBar | undo | 14:19 |
| neure | I can but sounds like the fix is reinstall? | 14:20 |
| neure | Is there such thing as reinstall on top of current system? | 14:20 |
| KBar | this is like reborn, but yes, fresh install will do | 14:20 |
| neure | are the config files system files or user files? | 14:20 |
| KBar | neure: sure. but thats not reinstall anymore | 14:20 |
| KBar | neure: just back them up and reinstall afresh | 14:20 |
| KBar | installation takes 5 minutes | 14:21 |
| neure | I have separate home partition | 14:21 |
| KBar | neure: well that eases the process | 14:21 |
| KBar | by a lot | 14:21 |
| neure | I installed kde-plasma-desktop because with it (system-settings) I can change the color theme of Qt applications | 14:22 |

| KBar | now i dont use KDE nor Qt apps. But there should be something similar to gtk.css files | 14:23 |
| KBar | neure: or maybe use snaps? | 14:23 |
| neure | What do you suggest? | 14:23 |
| neure | The application in question is Beyond Compare | 14:24 |
| KBar | neure: is it in the ubuntu repositories? | 14:24 |
| neure | No it is just a .deb | 14:25 |
| neure | From https://www.scootersoftware.com/download.php | 14:25 |
| neure | Can I reinstall from my nvme drive or do I need to use USB stick for that? | 14:27 |
| neure | Or if I maybe more often reinstall, can I even make installer partition? | 14:27 |
| KBar | neure: i dont have a solution for your problem as I've never used KDE or Qt. | 14:27 |
| KBar | neure: try https://askubuntu.com/questions/910012/how-can-i-get-qt5-applications-to-use-the-gtk-theme-in-ubuntu-17-04 | 14:27 |
| KBar | neure: "my nvme drive" as in the one that has the current Ubuntu installation? | 14:28 |
| neure | KBar, yeah - I have some spare space on it | 14:29 |
| taholmes160 | Kbar -- no as like you addressed me in that message | 14:29 |
| KBar | taholmes160: start typing in someone's nick and press Tab for autocompletion | 14:29 |
| KBar | like in bash | 14:30 |
| taholmes160 | KBar: cool -- thats got it | 14:30 |
| taholmes160 | thanks | 14:30 |
| KBar | neure: not sure. if you know how to create a separate partition and filesystem for the iso image, you probably can. never bothered doing that. refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux as a start | 14:31 |
| KBar | taholmes160: no problem | 14:31 |

Xubuntu 20.04, pulseaudio 13.99.1 lets say i have my headphone jacked into my laptop. now i want sound output to go to my laptop speakers, but i dont want to unplug my headphones. how do i do that on a software level? pavucontrol lets me select speakers as the output port althought it's status is (Unavailable) and no sound comes out. `pacmd set-sink-port 0 analog-output-speaker` does the same and yields the | 15:34 |

| regedit | `sudo lshw -class network` https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/rpPHGbJT/lshw-network.png | 16:00 |

| regedit | `sudo ethtool eth0` https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/uXDvudjQ/ethtool-eth0.png | 16:02 |
| g3poandlsl | KBar, thanks for the suggestion. I don't see an option like that in the man pages, especially as it pertains to updates in reprepro | 16:06 |
| regedit | leftyfb: `ifconfig` maybe? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/jjaKhuCw/ifconfig.png | 16:09 |
| KBar | g3poandlsl: sorry im not familiar with such things. i just know that wget has that option which allows you to specify the name with -O and you can do all sorts of things concurrently. and i was factually wrong, its not --to-stdout but --output-document=file | 16:10 |

| Rumen | Hello | 16:14 |
| regedit | alkisg: 5.4.0-97-generic | 16:15 |
| Rumen | I would like to ask something. I have old 2 TB hdd and it start show bad sectors, so I think to get a new one, but I'm stuck in choice to get a SSD or HDD, one friend told me to get both and use the SSD for the OS and the HDD for backup, but to move the VAR/LOG to the HDD - is that right? | 16:16 |
| jhutchins | Rumen: If you're seeing bad sectors increasing, definitely get the new hardware soon. | 16:17 |
| Rumen | Should I move the /home to the HDD as well? | 16:17 |
| recyclehero | Guys where can I find grub stage* files? | 16:18 |
| jhutchins | Rumen: SSD will usually offer a significantly better performance, particularly on start-up and starting applications, or loading files from disc. | 16:18 |
| jhutchins | Rumen: Most of the advice for moving /var/log is because it gets lots of continuous writes, which can "wear out" an SSD. This advice is based on early designs for SSSs, which are now pretty close to being as durable as spinning discs. | 16:19 |
| jpmh | when I sign in Ubuntu tells me that a restart is required, if indeed there has been an upgrade that needs it. What file is the login process using to determine that this restart is required? I'd like to check for it myself | 16:20 |
| jhutchins | Rumen: You are likely to out-grow an SSD before it wears out. | 16:20 |
| Rumen | Yes, but if I keep the log and cache on the SSD will read and writte non stop and will die pretty quickly, right? | 16:20 |
| jhutchins | Rumen: No. | 16:20 |
| jhutchins | Rumen: Almost all laptops are pure SSD these days, and they have comparable life expectancies. | 16:21 |
| Rumen | So no need to move the log and cache to HDD? | 16:21 |
| Rumen | Just backup from time to time as do today? | 16:21 |
| Rumen | regular backup I mean | 16:21 |
| jhutchins | jpmh: Usually the suggestion to restart is due to an updated kernel; compare dpkg -l kernel* with uname -a | 16:22 |
| Rumen | Aha OK got it, thanks a lot! | 16:22 |
| jhutchins | jpmh: if there is a kernel listed in the dpkg output that is newer than the running kernel listed by uname, rebooting will load the newer one. | 16:23 |
| alkisg | regedit, what's the output of: uname -r | 16:25 |
| jpmh | jhutchins: yes - I know when it is required. So, are you saying there is some command that I can provide to dpkg that will tell me? And, more to the point, is that what the login process does, or is there some file that was set by the upgrade that it looks at | 16:25 |
| jpmh | ? | 16:25 |
| regedit | alkisg: 5.4.0-97-generic | 16:27 |
| regedit | is alkisg seeing my messages? i replied twice so far, not sure if he copy | 16:29 |
| KBar | jpmh: only kernel updates require a reboot which you should do no matter what, unless you have Livepatch set up, in which case no reboot is required. | 16:33 |
| KBar | jpmh: `dpkg` is concerned about Debian packages. It doesn't tell you anything about kernel and what it wants to do. | 16:34 |
| neure | How do I figure out what /dev/nvme1n1p3 is called in grub? | 16:35 |
| jpmh | KBar - so - I return to my original question. My systems do an unattended upgrade - then when I log in I get told that I need to re-boot. I would like to be able to have a daemon or probably crontab task check for that condition and alert me that a re-boot is required. So, what do I need to look at to know this? | 16:35 |
| KBar | neure: what do you mean by "in GRUB"? The GRUB meny entry, command-line, /etc/default/grub, or something else? | 16:35 |
| neure | In /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 16:36 |
| neure | set root='hd0,6' # this mean /dev/sda6 | 16:36 |
| neure | I'll see if I can use UUID | 16:37 |
| KBar | jpmh: you can `wmctrl -lpG`, find the PID of that window and then `ps -ef --pid PID` | 16:40 |
| KBar | tho im not sure if wmctrl works in wayland | 16:43 |
| regedit | leftyfb: any chance any of the above screenshots are the network config? | 16:43 |
| KBar | regedit: did you call a professional? | 16:44 |
| regedit | KBar: where can i find one, profficient with Ubuntu and DigitalOcean | 16:45 |
| KBar | regedit: didn't you say you submitted a ticket? | 16:45 |
| regedit | i did | 16:45 |
| KBar | regedit: leave the system alone and let them do their job. you're probably gonna butcher the system further | 16:46 |

| Sven_vB | hi :) I'm trying to prepare auto-install recipes for computers that I want to roll out in April. would it make sense to try with jammy already, or should I stick to focal? | 17:21 |
| matsaman | I think it would make sense | 17:22 |
| matsaman | Sven_vB: | 17:22 |
| icedwater | lotuspsychje: hello, it's me again. After a bios update (from http://ix.io/3O2j) I get a new dmesg (http://ix.io/3OEC) that has the same ACPI Error you pointed out before. | 17:25 |
| icedwater | If you or anyone else can help scan the files to suggest new tactics, I'd greatly appreciate it. But for now, I'd best head to bed. :) | 17:26 |
| jhutchins | Sven_vB: Depends on what the computers will be doing. Do they need to surf the bleeding edge and find the new bugs and problems in the software, or do they need to sit quietly and do real work? | 17:27 |
| icedwater | For a recap of the problem, my Ubuntu 20.04 system is having problems running blender 3.0.1 from snap and it seems that there are some issues getting it to recognise my combo AMD/Intel graphics card. | 17:27 |
| jhutchins | Sven_vB: Pre-release is where the bugs are worked on, so it's expected to be broken occasionally. | 17:27 |
| icedwater | I'll be available to answer more questions in a few hours, I suppose. :) | 17:27 |
| Sven_vB | jhutchins, I'm torn between the risk of new bugs, and the possibility that some really annoying focal bugs might be fixed. | 17:28 |
| Sven_vB | I guess I'll try jammy. if it's too bad I can still go back. | 17:33 |
| Sven_vB | thanks matsaman and jhutchins :) | 17:33 |

| taholmes160 | The whole thing | 17:41 |
| Sven_vB | taholmes160, oh I see, you want to run it in Docker probably | 17:41 |

| piotr | hi all. I found this script online I pasted it to nano made executable fired it up and it hangs. Nothing happens it runs but nothing happens... Could anyone take a look? http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/scripts/q18 | 17:49 |
| Sven_vB | piotr, does it react do Ctrl-d? | 17:49 |
| piotr | Sven_vB, nope | 17:50 |
| Sven_vB | also the coding style in that script is not a good guide. some of the stuff in there is not dangerous just in this case, but can become dangerous if modified. | 17:51 |
| Sven_vB | not a style I'd expect in a "Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial" | 17:51 |
| piotr | Sven_vB, in what way? | 17:51 |
| Sven_vB | invoking cat and rm with paths that are not separated by -- | 17:52 |
| Sven_vB | if you modify it naively and use wildcards, you can fall prey to files named like options | 17:52 |
| piotr | as long as it's not escaping virtualbox then that's fine. | 17:52 |
| piotr | ;) | 17:52 |
| piotr | But how to make it work? | 17:53 |
| Sven_vB | also stuff like multi-line strings with \ at the end of line, when it uses bash. bash has waaay better multiline string quoting methods | 17:53 |
| Sven_vB | no idea what that script is even trying to do. | 17:53 |
| EriC^^_ | piotr: you could try debugging with bash -x /path/to/script | 17:53 |
| adison | cam | 17:54 |
| piotr | Sven_vB, some sortof a calendar. | 17:54 |
| Sven_vB | anyway. avoid tutorials by people who use bad syntax; they'll probably also have flawed thinking and/or will forget to warn you about important stuff. | 17:55 |
| EriC^^_ | it was made is 2002, maybe use something not prehistoric | 17:56 |
| piotr | EriC^^_, it's going and goin this bash -x :) Is it normal? | 17:57 |
| Sven_vB | EriC^^_, yes | 17:57 |
| EriC^^_ | piotr: it should say what it's doing, no output at all? | 17:58 |
| Sven_vB | Pricey, yes | 17:58 |
| Sven_vB | Pricey, sorry for the noise | 17:58 |
| EriC^^_ | piotr: do you have the program dialog installed? it calls it | 17:58 |
| === adison is now known as liveacoustic | ||
| Sven_vB | piotr, indeed if you don't have dialog installed, that script runs in an infinite loop. a mistake that would have been easy to avoid for a better tutorial author. ditch that one. | 17:59 |
| EriC^^_ | yeah it calls dialog with a 2> so you wont see the error i guess if it's not installed and just get an empty screen | 18:00 |
| piotr | Debugger is still going... | 18:01 |
| EriC^^_ | piotr: ctrl+c, sudo apt-get install dialog then run the program | 18:02 |
| piotr | How do i install dialog is it apt-get? | 18:02 |
| mannequin | is there a way to make ubuntu use a dns server on a specific port? | 18:02 |
| piotr | Will it fix it you think? | 18:02 |
| EriC^^_ | minus the -x, as that would really flood the screen with nonsense | 18:02 |
| mannequin | not port 53 | 18:02 |
| EriC^^_ | piotr: yeah | 18:02 |
| piotr | dialog installed gaveme help menu. | 18:03 |
| Sven_vB | mannequin, there's probably an elegant way to do it. I hope someone will point it out. if not, my bad idea would be to set a local IP as DNS and then use netfilter to NAT packets that are destined for port 53 on that local IP. | 18:04 |
| EriC^^_ | piotr: run the program, not dialog | 18:05 |
| bigbamboozle | Hi. Running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS as headless server - just did a small update using aptitude - maybe 6 packages updated including network manager - now the computer will not connect to the connect (via cable). | 18:05 |
| piotr | Worked!! :) | 18:05 |
| piotr | Thank you guys | 18:05 |
| EriC^^_ | great :) | 18:05 |
| EriC^^_ | no problem | 18:06 |
| Sven_vB | bigbamboozle, so you did an update via network, and now network is unresponsive? | 18:07 |
| Sven_vB | or is "the connect" some device? | 18:08 |
| bigbamboozle | Sven_vB - yes... via a terminal on my desktop | 18:08 |
| bigbamboozle | oh sorry my bad - the server doesn't connect to the network via wired cable | 18:09 |
| Sven_vB | I guess your "desktop" means another computer that has a display and keyboard, and "terminal" is some kind of remote control software? | 18:09 |
| Sven_vB | bigbamboozle, what's your fallback access method? how do you usually get a shell in case network fails? | 18:09 |
| bigbamboozle | I logged in via ssh from a terminal on my desktop, yes. and the server booted to a command line as it usually does and i am signed in directly with a keyboard attached to the server. | 18:11 |
| regedit | i had to reboot, now their recovery console only shows bootup output, not bringing me to login prompt... 🤦♂️ | 18:11 |
| bigbamboozle | I did ifconfig and there is no ip address shown ... sorry, my linux knowledge is very spotty | 18:12 |
| regedit | is there a key combination which brings me to login prompt? | 18:12 |
| Sven_vB | regedit, the prompt is probably obscured by log messages. type enter a few times. | 18:12 |
| piotr | cheers guys, take care! | 18:12 |
| bigbamboozle | bye piotr | 18:12 |
| Sven_vB | bigbamboozle, oh I see, so you have a keyboard and display on the server now? then I probably misunderstood "headless" | 18:12 |
| bigbamboozle | well it WAS headless... until the server didn't connect to the network so I attached a monitor and keyboard | 18:13 |
| jhutchins | bigbamboozle: Ordinarily we'd look in dmesg and try to find the reason in the noise, these days it's journalctl. | 18:13 |
| Sven_vB | bigbamboozle, I'd start with "nmcli conn" to see what nm thinks about your network situation | 18:14 |
| Sven_vB | also for that kind of debugging, it's really useful to have a pair of cheap USB UARTs that you can use as a nullmodem replacement. | 18:16 |
| bigbamboozle | 'nmcli conn' yields nothing | 18:16 |
| Sven_vB | and then configure a serial line shell | 18:16 |
| Sven_vB | bigbamboozle, that means NM has no network profiles configured. configure one. | 18:16 |
| Sven_vB | bigbamboozle, maybe it's enough to put a profile that says "use DHCP" | 18:17 |
| bigbamboozle | huh... something went wrong. 30 minutes ago everything was OK. | 18:17 |
| Sven_vB | yeah, modern computers are incredibly complex. hard to distinguish from a magical, moody animal. | 18:19 |
| bigbamboozle | Sven_vB ... I'm sorry but I have no idea how to create a network profile | 18:20 |
| Sven_vB | bigbamboozle, you can use a desktop GUI system with NetworkManager to manage network profiles in nm's visual editor | 18:21 |
| Sven_vB | then copy them over | 18:21 |
| Sven_vB | they are in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ | 18:21 |
| Sven_vB | for temproary network setup you can use ifconfig (static IP) or dhclient (DHCP) | 18:23 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, so is network-manager running ? ps -A | grep -i net | 18:25 |
| bigbamboozle | one sec ... I ran this systemctl status network-manager | 18:25 |
| bigbamboozle | and got this https://pastebin.com/knJKyaqU | 18:25 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, so is network-manager running ? ps -A | grep -i net | 18:26 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, /etc/network/interfaces doesn't exist indeed on 20.04 | 18:27 |
| bigbamboozle | when I run ps -A | grep -i net I get four lines I can't tell what they mean one is 870 ? 00:00:00 NetworManager | 18:29 |
| bigbamboozle | *get | 18:29 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, can you paste it ? | 18:29 |
| bigbamboozle | no | 18:29 |
| bigbamboozle | it's on a separate computer | 18:30 |
| bigbamboozle | maybe i can take a photo that might be easier | 18:30 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, nope , no worr... if you have that line it should mean that is running; | 18:30 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, but i need to see this ; cat /etc/netplan/* | 18:30 |
| bigbamboozle | ok hang on a sec | 18:31 |
| bigbamboozle | https://pastebin.com/yQs40zC0 | 18:33 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, so, you probably have been using networkd and not network-manager | 18:34 |
| bigbamboozle | ok | 18:34 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, you probably need to disable network-manger | 18:35 |
| bigbamboozle | how do i do that | 18:35 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, let's try : sudo systemctl stop network-manager | 18:35 |
| bigbamboozle | ok done | 18:35 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager-wait-online.service | 18:36 |
| bigbamboozle | ok | 18:36 |
| bigbamboozle | done | 18:36 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager-dispatcher.service | 18:36 |
| bigbamboozle | done | 18:37 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, sudo systemctl disable network-manager | 18:37 |
| bigbamboozle | ok the last command spit out a bunch of lines | 18:38 |
| ioria | mmm... like what ? | 18:38 |
| bigbamboozle | Synchronizing state of network-manager.sevice with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. | 18:39 |
| ioria | ok | 18:40 |
| bigbamboozle | I can type the rest in pastebin if you want | 18:40 |
| ioria | nope | 18:40 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service | 18:40 |
| bigbamboozle | ok done | 18:41 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service | 18:41 |
| bigbamboozle | ok done | 18:41 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, ls /etc/network ... tell me what you see | 18:41 |
| bigbamboozle | if-down.d if-post-down.d if-pre-up.d if-up.d | 18:43 |
| ioria | good, bigbamboozle : dpkg -l | grep ifup | 18:44 |
| bigbamboozle | lol, good, really? ok | 18:44 |
| bigbamboozle | hang on | 18:44 |
| bigbamboozle | sudo dpkg -l | grep ifup | 18:44 |
| bigbamboozle | sorry...hang on | 18:44 |
| bigbamboozle | dpkg -l | grep ifup yields nothing | 18:45 |
| bigbamboozle | i have two wireless keyboard that are exactly the same; i get them confused occasionally | 18:46 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, systemctl status systemd-networkd | 18:46 |
| bigbamboozle | well that looks better | 18:46 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, i'd try a reboot | 18:47 |
| bigbamboozle | ok | 18:47 |
| bigbamboozle | nope - still doesn't connect | 18:49 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, ps -A | grep -i net ( i need to see that) | 18:50 |
| bigbamboozle | ok one sec | 18:51 |
| bigbamboozle | 34 ? 00:00:00 netns | 18:54 |
| bigbamboozle | 854 ? 00:00:00 systemd-network | 18:55 |
| bigbamboozle | 876 ? 00:00:00 networkd-dispat | 18:55 |
| bigbamboozle | that's it | 18:55 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, run 'ip a' | 18:55 |
| bigbamboozle | ip a | 18:55 |
| ioria | not here | 18:56 |
| bigbamboozle | i know - sorry. like i said - two keyboards exactly the same. | 18:56 |
| bigbamboozle | closest i can come to a screen shot https://bit.ly/34izey6 | 18:59 |
| ioria | it's wrong | 19:00 |
| bigbamboozle | what is | 19:00 |
| ioria | enp1s0 != enp2s0 | 19:00 |
| bigbamboozle | right i saw that | 19:00 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, cat /proc/cmdline | 19:01 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, and we can try to edit the netplan file | 19:02 |
| bigbamboozle | BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz-5.4.0-97-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu-lv ro maybe-ubiquity | 19:03 |
| bigbamboozle | how on earth did this happen | 19:03 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, open /etc/netplan/*.yaml and change 1 to 2 | 19:03 |
| ioria | and 5.4.0-97 is very old | 19:04 |
| bigbamboozle | that's odd | 19:04 |
| bigbamboozle | isn't it? | 19:04 |
| bigbamboozle | you want me to change what enp1s0?? | 19:05 |
| bigbamboozle | to enp2s0? | 19:05 |
| EriC^^_ | what the heck is 'maybe-ubiquity' kernel parameter O.o | 19:05 |
| bigbamboozle | beats me | 19:05 |
| EriC^^_ | ubiquity is the installer of ubuntu, wonder why it's there | 19:05 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, the kernel is ok, sorry; yes edit the yaml file | 19:05 |
| bigbamboozle | and then restart the network? | 19:06 |
| bigbamboozle | the editing is done | 19:06 |
| ioria | bigbamboozle, yes, a reboot is better | 19:06 |
| bigbamboozle | ok | 19:07 |
| bigbamboozle | I have a feeling I'm going to end up doing a full reinstall | 19:07 |
| bigbamboozle | thank God.. it worked | 19:08 |
| bigbamboozle | thank you so much | 19:09 |
| ioria | good, well done | 19:09 |
| ioria | (miller time) | 19:09 |
| bigbamboozle | what happens next time do an update ... | 19:09 |
| bigbamboozle | *i do an update | 19:09 |
| bigbamboozle | i have no clue what happened | 19:09 |
| bigbamboozle | it says all packages are up-to-date | 19:10 |
| bigbamboozle | thank you all very much - you know your stuff | 19:11 |
| regedit | where do i put a custom startup script to run when system starts up, after everything else, for a non-graphical server | 19:23 |
| regedit | etc/rc2 ? etc/rc3? other | 19:24 |
| regedit | ? | 19:24 |
| leftyfb | regedit: you create a systemd service file | 19:24 |
| regedit | ah | 19:24 |
| leftyfb | regedit: I hope you're not thinking of adding in your ifconfig command to it to bring up the network on boot | 19:25 |
| regedit | for the next few days until i move instances - most certainly am.... 🤦♂️ | 19:25 |
| leftyfb | or you could learn how to setup your network config properly | 19:25 |
| leftyfb | one of the most basic aspects of running a linux server | 19:26 |
| regedit | i'm actually considering moving this site to a good ol (bad ol'?) shared hosting... sadly i am not currently aspiring to get deeper into sysadmin-ing.... | 19:26 |
| regedit | yet... | 19:27 |
| leftyfb | regedit: then look into something like squarespace or wordpress's hosting | 19:27 |
| leftyfb | regedit: you should not be running a server | 19:28 |
| === saline_retry_ is now known as auk | ||
| regedit | indeed.. 😆 | 19:45 |
| regedit | most php dependencies/extensions & composer & acme.sh & much of everything else seems to be available just fine on a shared hosting account without needing root, i think this site will do just fine with that | 19:46 |
| blauwal | Hello, I would appreciate help with wine. I'm running a configuration software for a AIS-transponder connected via usb. When I try to connect to the device, an error message pops up: Serial ports can't be opened, probably used by another application. I've followed the advice in the wineHQ wiki: added myself to group "dialout", created a new entry in the registry. | 19:46 |
| regedit | was trying to tell the previous developer from day 1... but he's too used to spinning up another VPS for every little project... | 19:47 |
| Maik | blauwal: probably best to ask at #winehq | 19:48 |
| blauwal | What I'm confused about is that "lsusb" lists the device on USB port 3. Looking at ~/.wine/dosdevices/, however, there is no COM port connected to /dev/ttyUSB0, only COM33 -> /dev/ttyACM0. What's wrong? | 19:48 |
| blauwal | Maik: Thanks, I hadn't been aware of their channel. Will try there. | 19:49 |

| devslash | if I don't know the disk encryption password for an installation of Ubuntu, is there any options for recovery or do I need to reinstall ? | 21:05 |
| leftyfb | reinstall | 21:05 |
| devslash | ok | 21:05 |
| leftyfb | if there were a way to get around the encryption, there would be no point to the encryption | 21:06 |
| devslash | that's what I figured but I was just making sure | 21:06 |
| sarnold | devslash: if you've got a good guess at most of the password, or much of the password, etc, you could try hashcat, see https://www.forensicfocus.com/articles/bruteforcing-linux-full-disk-encryption-luks-with-hashcat/ for a walk-through | 21:10 |
| devslash | I talked to the person who set it up and after a few tries, I stuumbled on the right password | 21:12 |
| sarnold | yay :) | 21:12 |
