GamahA system I haven't touched in 2 months now completely locks up (yes completely, alt+sysreq REISUB does nothing) any time I'm connected to wifi. I thought my install was borked so I reinstalled, but even the installer crashes when wifi is enabled. Installed offline and it worked fine. Pulled over some code I have that can max out the CPU's and Disk, that code works fine. Turn on WIFI? Lockup within 2-3 minutes even if I'm not web browsing. Ideas?04:29
RaGE_Syriafaulty wifi hardware maybe? Does the same thing happen if u connect via ethernet cable04:31
Gamahtrying to find a patch cable..04:32

GamahWhen I get back to the machine I will05:43
guivercGamah, 21.04 is EOL as already stated (https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2022/01/21/ubuntu-21-04-hirsute-hippo-end-of-life-reached-on-january-20-2022/) and default stack varies on installation media used; GA for server, HWE for most desktop ISOs (flavors default GA for 20.04 & 20.04.1, but desktop installs can also default to OEM if hardware is detected to benefit from that; so default needs ISO to be provided & hardware to be specified..)06:18
priyankHi, my second screen is not detected in ubuntu 21.04 but is detected in windows. Any additional drivers I've to install for that?06:41

neurehi08:35
neureanyone know how to apply a KDE theme - for Qt4 application - without installing kde-plasma-desktop?08:36
neureI am using the (default) gnome desktop, set to Yaru-dark theme, but a Qt4 application uses some default light theme :/08:37
KBarneure: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications08:40
Croranmy nvidia GPU is stable in furmark and gpu_burn, but it 'falls off the bus' in xcom 2.08:40
Crorantried a bunch of kernel parameters. tried different driver versions. tried clocking it to match the clocks of the nvidia reference model. tried decreasing the power limit to match the nvidia reference power limit.08:41
Croranfalls off the bus within 10 minutes and often within just 2-3 minutes. i've monitored it with nvidia-smi dmon while in game and there's nothing unusual going on with temperature or power or clocks.08:42
Croranit crashes in gta V too. not sure whether it gives the 'fallen off the bus' message there, but the symptoms are the same.08:43
neureKBar, I know I can start Qt application like {application_name} -stylesheet {path_to_style_sheet} - where can I locate the style files like yaru dark?08:44
Croransymptom is the video output turns off and monitor goes to 'no signal'. but i can ssh in and see the kernel log of 'fallen off the bus'08:45
Croranalso tried mprime stress test while running gpu_burn, to see if it had something to do with a combination of CPU+GPU load.08:45
Crorantotally stable there too08:45
neurePutting [Qt]\nstyle=Yaru-dark into ~/.config/Trolltech.conf does not seem to change the style08:46
neureKBar, unfortunately that page you linked is for arch and not Ubuntu09:10
neureWeird, yesterday I was able to change Beyond Compare style with -style {style} args09:11
neureToday it does not seem to work09:11
KBarneure: the fundamentals still apply… it's not like Arch is a totally different OS. Qt and GTK are mostly distro-agnostic.09:12
KBarI've fixed way too many things thanks to their wiki. It's a good source of information.09:13
KBarAnd I've never used Arch btw. But sure, you do you. It's your system after all.09:14

charls_aHi, recently i upgraded my vps server from 16 to 18.04.6 LTS. I've installed oidentd (sudo apt-get install oidentd) so for users in IRC doesnt show the ~ before their idents, but after installation seems not working because in IRC it still shows the ~... any idea of to fix it?14:52
mybalzitchthat only provides ident for outgoing irc connections, not incoming14:58
charls_aOk, any recommendations to fix this?14:58
mybalzitchyou are running an ircd?14:59
charls_aNo, znc and eggdrops basically14:59
mybalzitchok, but irc connections are originating from the machine you installed oidentd on? and you are connecting to other irc networks with it?15:00
mybalzitchand you configured oidentd ?15:00
mybalzitchand then the client reconnected to irc after installing and configuring oidentd?15:02
charls_aYes. Connections are originated from the machine i installed oidentd15:03
mybalzitchoh, and you are allowing the oidentd port through your firewall, if there is one15:04
mybalzitch113/tcp15:04
charls_aExactly15:04
mybalzitchokay, and then the last bit is just the client reconnecting their irc session, so the remote IRC server queries ident again15:05
mybalzitchif oidentd is configured correctly, and the remote server is querying ident, it 'should' work at that point15:06
tomreyncharls_a: please don't cross-post in the future.15:17
noarbI'm trying to add a bridge to my machine on a VLAN like this example: https://netplan.io/examples/#configuring-network-bridges ... I'm trying to understand this a little more and what options are available, does the renderer 'networkd' have manpages to detail the options?15:22
noarbI'd like to have a bridge with untagged traffic for ubuntu and tagged vlan traffic for the vm15:23
tomreynthere is https://netplan.io and i think you have man pages, too15:23
tomreynoh wait the networkd renderer15:24
tomreynthat's systemd-networkd15:24
tomreynso systemd.network(5) and systemd-networkd(8)15:25
me_WINDOW SHOW 115:26
noarbthanks, I was looking for things like 'accept-ra', I think this has it15:27
noarbwhat package is the ip command a part of? `apt-file search /usr/sbin/ip` doesn't match that exact command. Does netplan and systemd-networkd populate /etc/network/interfaces?15:46
leftyfbnoarb: if you are using /etc/network/interfaces then you are not using netplan and networkd. If you are using netplan and networkd, then you are not using netplan15:48
leftyfbnoarb: what issue are you having exactly?15:50
noarblooks like it was in iproute2. Is that the right way to inspect results of netplan/networkd? After applying a configuration with netplan apply, I'd like  like to look at the low level networking details15:50
leftyfbnoarb: "ip" will show you the active network configuration15:51
noarbleftyfb: I'm trying to get a bridge with my ubuntu host on an untagged vlan, and the VMs on that host to be on a tagged vlan. I found an example close to that on the netplan site, trying to understand what it's doing15:51
leftyfbnoarb: is it working?15:51
leftyfbnoarb: the netplan.io link you posted is really all you need15:55
noarbin that example, does the host traffic not traverse the bridge? enp0s25 gets its address via dhcp, then a linux bridge is created with a static address 10.3.99.25/24 (could it get its address via dhcp as well?) Then /etc/libvirtd/qemu/networks/ allows VMs to connect to br0, and all traffic on br0 is tagged VLAN 15 traffic?16:03
noarbthe only interface on the bridge is [ vlan15 ], could I add several vlans here, or would I need multiple bridges?16:04
leftyfbnoarb: you should have dhcp disabled on the interface you're trying to bridge. The bridge interface is set with dhcp16:04
leftyfbor not, with a static ip16:04
leftyfbnoarb: if you're going to have multiple vlans you're worrying about, you tag them. Otherwise, if there's only 1 vlan to worry about on that physical interface you're connected to, you leave them untagged and don't worry about vlan configs on clients16:06
noarbthe Ubuntu KVM host will have untagged traffic, and its guests will have tagged traffic on the same interface16:07
leftyfbnoarb: nope, that's not how this works.16:07
noarbOK, that's what I thought this example was doing in the single guest VM scenario16:08
leftyfbnoarb: let me clarify, that's not how networking works16:09
leftyfbnoarb: if you have multiple vlans on a physical interface, you tag them16:09
leftyfbnoarb: if you'd like more information on networking and vlans, try #networking16:12
noarbleftyfb: alright, thanks for your help16:12
tyklingleftyfb: uhm, it is absolutely possibly and used many places to have both tagged and untagged traffic on an interface16:13
tykling*possible16:13
tyklingin fact I am chatting to you through a vm using tagged traffic on an interface that also carries untagged16:14
FreeBDSMdecided to update 18.04 to 20.04 and quite a lot seems to work. But, mpv now seems to play videos with lags/frame skipping.16:15
FreeBDSMdon't know how to fix16:15
leftyfbtykling: I was going to say sure, but it's not typically done. But I guess for VM's it can make sense. Why not just tag all of it though? What's the point of the untagged traffic?16:16
leftyfbtykling: I do the opposite with LXD, I tag my host and leave all the containers untagged16:17
lotuspsychjeFreeBDSM: graphics card driver recognized after upgrade?16:20
tyklingleftyfb: in this case management is untagged and services are tagged but yeah, many reasons16:21
FreeBDSMlotuspsychje, yeah16:25
ducasseFreeBDSM: which gpu?16:25
FreeBDSMseems like video output 'vdpau' degraded for me, switching to 'gpu' solved the lags issue16:26
FreeBDSMducasse, nv gtx 1070ti16:26
ducassesorry, i'm mostly familiar with intel, my friend16:29
lotuspsychjeFreeBDSM: vlc doesnt get lags?16:29
FreeBDSMlotuspsychje, don't care, since vlc is crapware, suitable only for rare cases when streaming media can't be consumed using mpv16:33
FreeBDSManother issue is that when I start/stop video - I sometimes hear 'psh-psh' noises16:34
lotuspsychjecharming16:34
FreeBDSMdamn ctrl+q16:34
FreeBDSMearlier I hadn't much issues with pulseaudio and I always was surprised people in the internets calling it psh-psh-audio for those noises16:35
FreeBDSManother issue is that ubuntu screwed me my browser by replacing it with snapware. And it even worked at first, but now it doesn't start.16:40
FreeBDSMah, I see why: I've deleted snap 'gnome-3-38-2004'16:40
jhutchinsFreeBDSM: You know, it's a real tragedy that there are thousands of people using this software and they aren't even aware of the horrible shortcomings you have so cleverly discoverd.16:49
FreeBDSMjhutchins, it seems to be the opposite: I've seen thousands of negative comments about pulseaudio, while at the same time I had experienced almost no issues with it. But now I do too.17:07
FreeBDSMeven opening 'audio mixer' from tray icon produces that psh-psh (or clicking) sound17:07
i-garrisonFreeBDSM: if you are running pa 15.0 you probably can get to pulseaudio irc to find out what could go wrong17:09
FreeBDSMi-garrison, 13.99.1-1ubuntu3.1317:10
FreeBDSMso much for "LTS"17:11
i-garrisonFreeBDSM: if you can try any modern live cd and reproduce the issue, that could be a way forward (13.99.x is quite old stuff)17:11
FreeBDSMthat old stuff is supposed to be stable, that's the only reason I use LTS OS17:11
leftyfbFreeBDSM: please stop the passive aggressive comments17:11
i-garrisonFreeBDSM: another option could be to install ppk (or how it is called here) of later version since it is not likely ubuntu would upgrade software in lts17:12
FreeBDSMleftyfb, please make LTS stable then17:13
leftyfbFreeBDSM: it's stable for me17:13

leftyfbFreeBDSM: this is a volunteer support channel. There's no point in making such comments here expecting them to somehow make developers do what you want17:14
enigma9o7[m]I would check if live iso is doing that audio problem you describe, to see if it is indeed an issue with the version of pulse.17:17
enigma9o7[m]If it isn't doing it in live, then its likely something you can fix in your installed version.17:17
enigma9o7[m]Maybe create a new user and login as them, see if its possibly some config file in your home folder related.17:17
enigma9o7[m]However if it is happening in live, check a newer live iso (impish or jammy-dev) to see if it's already been fixed.17:19

kate_ioria: I can tell you that the script is not being called when going into suspend mode. I assume that the /etc/pm/sleep.d is not being triggered when going into suspend mode21:08

Guest9015if my persistent ubuntu USB boots into initramfs am I screwed? When I booted into busybox, there was no fsck. Can I repair it by using a live ubuntu USB? If so, what do I need to do?22:35
Jeremy31Guest9015: why not just install to a HDD?22:37
Guest9015i didn't feel like doing it I was experimenting with some stuff22:38
Jeremy31A USB thumb drive eventually will fail22:38
Guest9015Last thing I know is that I could not write any files22:39
Guest9015Then all of a sudden i reboot and initramfs22:39
Jeremy31It failed and went read only22:39
Guest9015yes22:39
Guest9015So it is a goner?22:39
Guest9015Can I wipe it and use it again?22:39
Jeremy31Most likely, just like the small SATA SSD i got22:40
Guest9015shoot22:40
Jeremy31I don't think you can wipe and re use22:40
Guest9015But can I at least try fsck by plugging it into my live usb?22:40
Jeremy31you could try22:40
Guest9015ok22:40
Guest9015it says it is a read only file system and the disk is write protected22:48
ducasseif it's gone read only fsck can do nothing22:48
ducasseit's a hardware thing22:48
Guest9015wow i cannot believe it22:49
Guest9015can gparted rescue the data?22:49
Guest9015gparted says input/output error during read22:50
Guest9015the backup GPT table is corrupt but the primary appears to be ok so that will be used22:50
jhutchinsGuest9015: There's an old saying: any data that is only on a removable drive is not really yours.22:52
Guest9015it says no filesystems found22:54
jhutchinsGuest9015: You might be able to recover files to a different device, then reformat it, but I wouldn't really trust it.22:55
leftyfbGuest9015: if you didn't have a backup of the data, the data wasn't important. Maybe try a VM  to experiment23:47
