luckiswithmenot really ubuntu question but, do I use "an" infront of Ubuntu. for example. how can I setup a or an Ubuntu server?01:11
zer0funHow do I make a partition auto mount without the command line01:11
zer0funUbuntu 20.04 fresh install.01:11
luckiswithmeif it's an internal partition most likely it is auto mounted01:12
tomreyni *think* gparted has an option for adding partitions to fstab01:13
luckiswithmeif it's external i don't know about any GUI way of doing so01:13
zer0funOk so I thought so.  But I have symlinked my Documents to the mounted partition.  And the links only work after I have opened the partition in the file manager01:14
zer0funOnce I just look at the partition it works until reboot.01:15
zer0funtomreyn thanks I’ll look01:15
XV8How would I find which package manages the `ping` executable under /usr/bin/ping ?01:16
tomreynXV8: dpkg -S /usr/bin/ping01:18
XV8hmm, I can't seem to get that to work01:19
XV8"dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/ping"01:19
XV8But I do `which ping` and that is the full path01:19
tomreynwhich ubuntu release are you running there?01:20

XV8https://github.com/iputils/iputils/commit/79d713eab6181e219bf932b404706f6f59ff253901:23
ubottuCommit 79d713e in iputils/iputils "ping: Remove 'unsupported IPv6' warning on disabled IPv6"01:23
XV8whoops, wrong paste01:23
Bashing-omxv8 correct ^^ to be ' dpkg -S /bin/ping ' >> sysop@2004x-c:~: " iputils-ping: /bin/ping ".01:23
tomreynbut /usr/bin/ping does exist on my ubuntu 21.10 as well, and dpkg -S does not know about it either01:24
tomreynso chances are it is placed there by a post-install script01:24
XV8Bashing-om, interesting, thanks. That's what I needed. Wanted to verify if that package build includes the fix in the commit in the above link01:25
XV8but unfortunately it looks like a build that is older than the fix01:26

XV8hah, I didn't even notice that tomreyn01:39
tomreynpycurious: find out what the "advanced key value store" service is, and fix its systemd service unit01:40

pycuriousMy ubuntu box will boot, but will show the logo for "AORUS" and not show anything else on the monitor. I can ssh into it. Any ideas on how to solve / debug this?01:53
pycuriousI can get into the bios - but nothing else01:53
XV8pycurious, what have you tried so far02:14
pycuriousXV8 - a new bios, can ssh into the machine. When I shutdown, I can see Ubuntu written below the bios logo. If I press escape, I see the text that usually renders while shutting down02:16
pycuriousMaybe the machine is trying to output a resolution that the display can't handle - so it gets stuck at the bios logo - not sure - how to find out and fix it02:16
pycuriousctrl+alt+f1 gives me a text output on the screen :)02:17
leftyfbpycurious:  is this a server or desktop?02:36
pycuriousleftyfb: desktop where the screen isnt working well02:38
leftyfbpycurious: isn't working well or is booting to the console text?02:40
pycuriousit boots into the bios splash screen02:42
pycuriouswhen i press ctlr+alt+2 - it gives me the text screen where i can login. I tried nvidia-xconfig - no use. I did X -configure - that errored out : "Number of screens dont match the number of devices detected"02:42

leftyfbpycurious: try going through 1 - 703:25
pycuriousleftyfb: they are all text based login screens03:26
leftyfbpycurious: if there's still nothing, then it's more than likely a GPU drivers issue. You have yet to explain what version of ubuntu you are running or what changed since the last time it was working03:26
pycuriousleftyfb: last time it was working was a year ago - when my 2080ti card broke its hdmi port. I just got a 3090 card - and i think the xorg.conf is not correct. I tried nvidia-xconfig - and it doesnt seem to generate an xconfig from scratch (it still shows 2080ti in there)03:28
leftyfbpycurious: what version of ubuntu?03:28
leftyfbpycurious: you should probably backup whatever xorg config you have, remove it from the active configuration and reinstall the proper drivers for your video card03:29
pycuriousleftyfb: The drivers are working well, I use cuda on top of that - and use the gpu without any issues.03:31
leftyfbpycurious: ok, so you don't need any help then. Good luck03:33
grypycurious, what does a gpu have to do with it? Is it the same part that processes input/output to the monitor?04:30
enigma9o7[m]are you asking what a GPU is?  or what is the actual question?04:33
gryenigma9o7[m], yes, that's what I am asking. The person whom I wanted to help has quit, though, so it's probably uninteresting for now.04:43

jsbachis just xrandr having problems, to discover the monitors within plugin & plugout. The drm crashes often. not a good user experience09:04
enycjsbach: I ab not nvidia current uusre  but I can say  I've noticed  plugin/unplug  mode setting  issues etc  have more been kernel related than  xorg/mesa/etc  to me09:06
enycI imagine linux 5.15 will become the HWE kernel for 20.04 , but maybe only after 22.04 lts released [?]09:08
jsbachenyc, true, might be! And also the power management is also involved. Bit of everything i guess.09:08
Jeremy31enyc: 5.15 might be in the 20.04 repos by July09:10

matt__Hello. I have two monitors and one is touch. I am looking for documentation on how I can force the second monitor to always be the primary for all users so that the input writes on the correct monitor14:30
matt__I tried swapping in the DisplayPort inputs but apparently once Ubuntu has its mind made up on which is the first it doesn't want to change. I can change it in Displays but that doesn't change it for all users14:32
biapy@matt__, not sure about this. For xorg it is a setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf(.d ?) , but for wayland i don't know. Intuitively, i would look on where the monitor settings are stored in the user profile (somewhere in ~/.config) and copy this to the profile skeleton and existing users homes.14:38
matt__biapy, I see anything for input in the Xorg. I have had to do hacks to run xinput to try and move which monitor it writes on. Currently if I use the stylus on the writable monitor it writes on the non-touch monitor. The machine is for a lab so I don't know all the users as they don't all exist yet14:41
biapymatt__, hum, instead of switching input , try switching display (output). It's been a while since i've done this, i'm gonna look if i find something in my archives14:46
biapymatt__, in xorg monitor section:     Option      "Primary" "true"14:49
biapyfound some info that could help you here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/multihead#Combine_screens_into_virtual_display14:50
biapymatt__, my xorg knowledge is old, and i've not experience in setting up touch screen in this context14:50
biapymatt__, and this one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/touchscreen14:51
biapymatt__, this last one has a section on your problem. it speaks of xinitrc or manual udev rules14:52
matt__biapy, thanks but all of these look to be user fixes for that profile. Not a system wide config. Maybe I'm missing something. Also, shouldn't this just be in the System -> Displays UI?14:56
biapymatt__, look at the last link, in the multihead section, it speaks of using udev for a system wide fix.14:57
matt__that was what I was doing xandr xinput hacks but if any of the info changed across reboots it stopped working and that was just for that user. The login screen or new users was broken14:57
biapymatt__, and using a system wide xinitrc is possible too14:58
biapymatt__, i speak of this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Calibrating_Touchscreen#Do_it_automatically_via_a_udev_rule14:59
matt__biapy, Thanks. I tried to make some udev rules. I will see if they work when I can reboot. I appreciate the help15:06
biapymatt__, you're welcome15:07
ogramatt__, by default all monitor configuration is done per-user via ~/.config/monitors.xml (which is where the various desktop configuration tools store it, i.e. if you pick "primary monitor" in the gnome or kde settings apps) ... but as biapy said, you can override it via udev or xorg.conf15:08

bancroftI believed that if I added a file in /etc/profile.d/ that all users and all shells would have the script executed prior to logging in, but its now what I am observing. Am I missing some sort of enable command to make it work?17:18

leftyfb!yy.mm | bancroft17:18
ubottubancroft: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle17:18
sarnoldbancroft: that'll only happen if the user's shell reads and executes /etc/profile. Not all shells do.17:19
sarnoldbancroft: note /etc/profile only sources files that are readable by the user in question -- are the permissions correct?17:19
bancroftleftyfb: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS is what I see in lsb_release -a17:19
enigma9o7[m]That's great, that's fully up to date ubuntu 18.17:20
bancroftsarnold: it's owned by root17:20
bancrofthmm ok I think it might be a permission thing then17:20

enigma9o7[m]but no need to mention all the extra numbers, everyone in the entire channel knew what you meant by unbuntu 18, other than lefty17:21

enigma9o7[m]sure, they matter, but not in this case, you're just being an ass17:24
leftyfbenigma9o7[m]: yes, because 18.04 != 18 != 18.1017:25

Guest34sudo apt install snapd   upgraded from a 3.x kernel to a 4.x kernel and looks like it also removed a bunch of stuff, like postgresql.18:59

MaikGuest34: also we do not support EOL versions19:01
leftyfbGuest34: I HIGHLY recommend installing a supported release, preferably 20.04 since it is LTS and supported for 5-10 years19:03
leftyfbGuest34: there's no sense in trying to shoe-horn modern versions of software into an 8 year old release of ubuntu19:05
newbiehi i didnt upgrade my ubuntu computer in awhile and now i am stuck on gorilla19:08
Maiknewbie: either https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades19:08
newbieis there a way to upgrade it to indri without complete reinstall?19:08
Maikor re-install19:08
enigma9o7[m]Ah bummer newbie, what happens when you try to upgrade?19:08
Maiknewbie: check the link19:08
leftyfb!eolupgrade | newbie19:08
ubottunewbie: End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades19:08
Maiknewbie: however, clean install is faster19:09
leftyfb^19:09
Guest34OK, I think I have found my postgresql database, I have tar.gz of the database,19:10
leftyfbGuest34: Ubuntu 14.04 i not supported. Please upgrade to a supported release19:10
Guest34that's something I guess.  I just need to get back running, is there a way to going back to apt package management and not this snapd stuff19:10
MaikGuest34: again, we do not support EOL releases19:10
enigma9o7[m]sudo apt purge snapd19:11
MaikGuest34: if you want support either install 18.04, 20.04 or 21.1019:11
leftyfbGuest34: do not listen to enigma9o7[m]. They will only make things worse for you19:11
Maikexactly19:12
enigma9o7[m]if you want to make sure it doesnt reinstall gotta do stuff in /etc/apt/preferences i believe19:12
Guest34Of course, but right now, I am stuck in the middle, and "we don't support" is hugely unhelpful when trying to ensure data is safe19:12
MaikGuest34: your own fault, you should have kept upgrading to a supported version of Ubuntu19:13
leftyfbGuest34: at this point, it is going to be faster to make a backup of your database (which you should already have) and reinstall Ubuntu 20.04 from scratch19:13
newbiecan i downgrade to 20.04 ?19:13
Maikno19:13
Maiknewbie: clean install is the only option19:13
jhutchinsnewbie: We could ask "from what", but the answer is the same.19:13
leftyfbnewbie: Ubuntu 20.04 is an upgrade from 14.04, not a downgrade. And no, it would take you WAY longer to follow that upgrade path19:14
newbieim on gorilla now19:14
leftyfbugh, wrong person, sorry19:14
Maiknewbie: as said clean install19:14
jhutchinsnewbie: Why do you want to downgrade?19:14
leftyfbtoo many people running unsupported versions of ubuntu19:14
Maikjhutchins: for a supported version19:15
enigma9o7[m]for LTS support probably....19:15
leftyfbjhutchins: because 20.04 is still supported19:15
newbiei am stuck on 20.1019:15
mannequinand it will be for years19:15
enigma9o7[m]What happens when you try to upgrade following those instructions someone linked when you asked for a wya to upgrade?19:15
=== ubuntu is now known as Guest4702
leftyfbnewbie: reinstall19:16
Maikagain....19:17
newbiei dont have a usb stick right now19:17
enigma9o7[m]Basically, why do you keep saying you're "stuck"?  What happens when you try to upgrade, does something go wrong?19:17
mannequinalways have 2 usb sticks19:17
leftyfbnewbie: let us know when you get one if you run into issues with the upgrade. We'll be happy to help19:17
enigma9o7[m]I have half a dozen, but irrelevant, dont need one.19:17
Maikmannequin: if you don't have anything constructive to say then please do not try to provide support19:18
newbieenigma - it says failed to download repository information19:18
mannequinenigma was the german cryptographic communication mechanism poles cracked19:19
Maiknewbie: you were given a link twice on how to perform a EOL upgrade19:19
enigma9o7[m]What says that?19:19
mannequinjust a reminder19:19
enigma9o7[m]What were you doing when "it" said that?19:19
Maikmannequin: keep the nonsense out of the channel19:19
Sven_vBhi :) can someone help me obtain JavaFX 17 for Ubuntu focal? all the pages I found lead to https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/ but the downloads list at the bottom is empty, with all filter options only offering "[any]".19:19
enigma9o7[m]Were you doing what was suggested in that link, or something different?19:19
leftyfbnewbie: if you would like a broken system, making it more difficult to recover your data for backup when you will inevitably be required to reinstall from scratch feel free to follow enigma9o7[m]'s advice19:19

Sven_vBI tried installing openjfx via apt but it's only version 1119:20
leftyfb!latest | Sven_vB19:20
ubottuSven_vB: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.19:20
Maiknewbie: don't take any advice from enigma9o7[m] please and follow our guides19:20
newbiei see the EOLUpgrades page19:20
Maikfollow that19:21
newbiei dont know what sources.list is19:21

Sven_vBleftyfb, yeah, that's why I tried downloading it from the vendor website19:21
leftyfbSven_vB: if you'd like help installing 3rd party packages, you'll need to reach out to the vendor for support19:21
enigma9o7[m]`sudo apt edit-sources`19:21
enigma9o7[m]That will open /etc/apt/sources.list for you19:21
enigma9o7[m]It is a list of repositories that APT will check for software from.19:21
Maiknewbie: if it's too difficult then please do a clean install of a supported ubuntu version as you were told four times now19:23

Sven_vBin case anyone else has the OpenJFX/JavaFX problem, here's my solution: via Wayback machine, I found a mement from 2018 when the downloads page still had some download links. I copied the old download link for the linux version from back then, and replaced the version number in the URL with current OpenJFX version (17), and fortunately, this yielded the current download link: http://gluonhq.com/download/javafx-17-ea-sdk-linux/19:50

Guest94Hey i was curious how to rename my network device from enp0s25 to eth0. I am running Ubuntu 2020:55
jhutchinsGuest94: What release are you on?20:58
Guest94Ubuntu 20.0420:59
sarnoldare you using systemd-networkd or networkmanager or ..?20:59
jhutchinsGuest94: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1317036/how-to-rename-a-network-interface-in-20-0420:59
jhutchinsThat seems unnecessarily complex, I believe there's still a kernel boot parameter that restores the old naming conventions...21:00
Guest94lol yeah i was about to say21:00
Guest94The issue i am truly having is with snort21:00
Guest94I keep getting a "WARNING: No preprocessors configured for policy 0." and i noticed alot of examples use eth0. Figured id give it a shot and see how it operates21:01

kexecdoes ubuntu live have some different package repositories? i am trying to download and install refind (https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/refind) by "sudo apt install refind" but getting error "Unable to locate package refind"21:04
Guest94what exact command did u type in21:04
sarnoldkexec: try running apt policy, I wouldn't be surprised if universe isn't enabled in the live sessions by default21:04
Guest94kexec : "sudo apt-get install refind"21:05
Guest94;D21:05
jhutchinsGuest94: There we are: pass net.ifnames=0 on the kernel command line21:05
sarnoldkexec: if universe isn't configured, try this, it might be a nice quick way to enable it if it works :) add-apt-repository universe21:05
Guest94jhutchins : Thank you21:06
jhutchinsGuest94: Note that I haven't tested that recently, but I believe it still works.21:06
kexecGuest94: thats basically the same command and i got the same result21:07
Guest94jhutchins: will play with it later. i appreciate your guidance21:07

sarnolddman777: yeah, that looks a lot like it would cause a lockup22:20
sarnolddman777: I think chrome / chromium / blink / electron have a button somewhere for "don't use hardware rendering" that might help you22:21
sarnolddman777: it'd probably be worth a bug report against the nvidia drivers22:21
hggdhdman777: it might. The backtrace shows it heavily in the nvidia kernel module, doing... who knows? But if this is the single soft lockup you see, perhaps not. Also, this backtrace is a best effort, but the unwinder cannot guarantee these are indeed the calls22:23

Bashing-om!info ddcci_dkms focal23:10
ubottuPackage ddcci_dkms does not exist in focal23:10
Bashing-omrhat: ^ We will need additional info to answer properly. Where did you get the tool and how did you install it ?23:11
oerhekshttps://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/ddcci-driver-linux23:12
rhatYes, I installed it from repo. sudo apt install ddcci_dkms23:13
rhattypo ddcci-dkms23:13
Bashing-omrhat: Then a ' sudo apt purge ddcci-dkms ' should UN-install.23:16
rhatDoes that mean sudo apt purge ddcci-dkms would delete the driver on /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device?23:19
Bashing-omrhat: Yeah - I would expect so.23:20
rhatThank you! By the way, would the command $ echo 'ddcci 0x37' | sudo tee /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device remove and override the existing driver(possibly i2c_dev?) on 0x37 (and cause some troubles)?Is the command safe to run?23:22
lord_daemonGoodnight. does anyone use termux + ubuntu + openvpn?23:24
Bashing-omrhat: That I can not comment on as I do not have the supporting hardwaare - the command inserts "ddcci 0x37" into that target file.23:25
