[00:40] * echo echos [01:11] not really ubuntu question but, do I use "an" infront of Ubuntu. for example. how can I setup a or an Ubuntu server? [01:11] How do I make a partition auto mount without the command line [01:11] Ubuntu 20.04 fresh install. [01:12] if it's an internal partition most likely it is auto mounted [01:13] i *think* gparted has an option for adding partitions to fstab [01:13] if it's external i don't know about any GUI way of doing so [01:14] Ok 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 manager [01:15] Once I just look at the partition it works until reboot. [01:15] tomreyn thanks I’ll look [01:16] How would I find which package manages the `ping` executable under /usr/bin/ping ? [01:18] XV8: dpkg -S /usr/bin/ping [01:19] hmm, I can't seem to get that to work [01:19] "dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/ping" [01:19] But I do `which ping` and that is the full path [01:20] which ubuntu release are you running there? [01:20] lsb_release -ds [01:21] Ubuntu 21.10 [01:22] what does type /usr/bin/ping report [01:23] https://github.com/iputils/iputils/commit/79d713eab6181e219bf932b404706f6f59ff2539 [01:23] Commit 79d713e in iputils/iputils "ping: Remove 'unsupported IPv6' warning on disabled IPv6" [01:23] whoops, wrong paste [01:23] xv8 correct ^^ to be ' dpkg -S /bin/ping ' >> sysop@2004x-c:~: " iputils-ping: /bin/ping ". [01:24] but /usr/bin/ping does exist on my ubuntu 21.10 as well, and dpkg -S does not know about it either [01:24] so chances are it is placed there by a post-install script [01:25] Bashing-om, interesting, thanks. That's what I needed. Wanted to verify if that package build includes the fix in the commit in the above link [01:26] but unfortunately it looks like a build that is older than the fix [01:26] ping from iputils 20210202 [01:29] XV8: Changlelogs: focal: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/i/inetutils/inetutils_1.9.4-11ubuntu0.1/changelog .

I do have enough free disk space [01:39] XV8: apparently it's so important to you to stay away from current ip addressing that you even put it twice. [01:39] hah, I didn't even notice that tomreyn [01:40] pycurious: find out what the "advanced key value store" service is, and fix its systemd service unit [01:40] (it's probably redis) [01:41] oh, I see what happened. One variable is for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and the other is for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [01:41] tomreyn: yes, i do run redis [01:42] that's ok with me [01:52] tomreyn: thanks. Will try to shutdown redis. [01:53] My 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] I can get into the bios - but nothing else [02:14] pycurious, what have you tried so far [02:16] XV8 - 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 down [02:16] Maybe 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 it [02:17] ctrl+alt+f1 gives me a text output on the screen :) [02:36] pycurious: is this a server or desktop? [02:38] leftyfb: desktop where the screen isnt working well [02:40] pycurious: isn't working well or is booting to the console text? [02:42] it boots into the bios splash screen [02:42] when i press ctlr+alt+2 - it gives me the text screen where i can login. I tried nvidia-xconfig - no use.

You have yet to explain what version of ubuntu you are running or what changed since the last time it was working [03:28] leftyfb: 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] pycurious: what version of ubuntu? [03:29] pycurious: you should probably backup whatever xorg config you have, remove it from the active configuration and reinstall the proper drivers for your video card [03:31] leftyfb: The drivers are working well, I use cuda on top of that - and use the gpu without any issues. [03:33] pycurious: ok, so you don't need any help then. Good luck [04:30] pycurious, what does a gpu have to do with it? Is it the same part that processes input/output to the monitor? [04:33] are you asking what a GPU is? or what is the actual question? [04:43] enigma9o7[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. [04:44] Ok then won't answer if no interest.

And also the power management is also involved. Bit of everything i guess.

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 monitor [14:32] 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 users [14:38] @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. [14:41] 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 yet [14:46] matt__, 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 archives [14:49] matt__, in xorg monitor section: Option "Primary" "true" [14:50] found some info that could help you here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/multihead#Combine_screens_into_virtual_display [14:50] matt__, my xorg knowledge is old, and i've not experience in setting up touch screen in this context [14:51] matt__, and this one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/touchscreen [14:52] matt__, this last one has a section on your problem. it speaks of xinitrc or manual udev rules [14:56] 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? [14:57] matt__, look at the last link, in the multihead section, it speaks of using udev for a system wide fix. [14:57] 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 broken [14:58] matt__, and using a system wide xinitrc is possible too [14:59] matt__, i speak of this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Calibrating_Touchscreen#Do_it_automatically_via_a_udev_rule [15:06] biapy, Thanks. I tried to make some udev rules. I will see if they work when I can reboot. I appreciate the help [15:07] matt__, you're welcome [15:08] matt__, 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.conf === genii-core is now known as genii === polymorp- is now known as polymorphic [15:25] ogra, thank you for the info in monitors.xml === ledeni__ is now known as ledeni [15:59] does jq come in ubuntu by default? or json_pp ?

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/EOLUpgrades [19:09] newbie: however, clean install is faster [19:09] ^ [19:10] OK, I think I have found my postgresql database, I have tar.gz of the database, [19:10] Guest34: Ubuntu 14.04 i not supported. Please upgrade to a supported release [19:10] that'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 stuff [19:10] Guest34: again, we do not support EOL releases [19:11] sudo apt purge snapd [19:11] Guest34: if you want support either install 18.04, 20.04 or 21.10 [19:11] Guest34: do not listen to enigma9o7[m]. They will only make things worse for you [19:12] exactly [19:12] if you want to make sure it doesnt reinstall gotta do stuff in /etc/apt/preferences i believe [19:12] Of course, but right now, I am stuck in the middle, and "we don't support" is hugely unhelpful when trying to ensure data is safe [19:13] Guest34: your own fault, you should have kept upgrading to a supported version of Ubuntu [19:13] Guest34: 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 scratch [19:13] can i downgrade to 20.04 ? [19:13] no [19:13] newbie: clean install is the only option [19:13] newbie: We could ask "from what", but the answer is the same. [19:14] newbie: Ubuntu 20.04 is an upgrade from 14.04, not a downgrade. And no, it would take you WAY longer to follow that upgrade path [19:14] im on gorilla now [19:14] ugh, wrong person, sorry [19:14] newbie: as said clean install [19:14] newbie: Why do you want to downgrade? [19:14] too many people running unsupported versions of ubuntu [19:15] jhutchins: for a supported version [19:15] for LTS support probably.... [19:15] jhutchins: because 20.04 is still supported [19:15] i am stuck on 20.10 [19:15] and it will be for years [19:15] What happens when you try to upgrade following those instructions someone linked when you asked for a wya to upgrade? === ubuntu is now known as Guest4702 [19:16] newbie: reinstall [19:17] again.... [19:17] i dont have a usb stick right now [19:17] Basically, why do you keep saying you're "stuck"? What happens when you try to upgrade, does something go wrong? [19:17] always have 2 usb sticks [19:17] newbie: let us know when you get one if you run into issues with the upgrade. We'll be happy to help [19:17] I have half a dozen, but irrelevant, dont need one. [19:18] mannequin: if you don't have anything constructive to say then please do not try to provide support [19:18] enigma - it says failed to download repository information [19:19] enigma was the german cryptographic communication mechanism poles cracked [19:19] newbie: you were given a link twice on how to perform a EOL upgrade [19:19] What says that? [19:19] just a reminder [19:19] What were you doing when "it" said that? [19:19] mannequin: keep the nonsense out of the channel [19:19] hi :) 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] Were you doing what was suggested in that link, or something different? [19:19] newbie: 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 advice [19:20] !ot | mannequin [19:20] mannequin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

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] newbie: don't take any advice from enigma9o7[m] please and follow our guides [19:20] i see the EOLUpgrades page [19:21] follow that [19:21] i dont know what sources.list is [19:21] reda [19:21] read [19:21] leftyfb, yeah, that's why I tried downloading it from the vendor website [19:21] Sven_vB: if you'd like help installing 3rd party packages, you'll need to reach out to the vendor for support [19:21] `sudo apt edit-sources` [19:21] That will open /etc/apt/sources.list for you [19:21] It is a list of repositories that APT will check for software from. [19:23] newbie: if it's too difficult then please do a clean install of a supported ubuntu version as you were told four times now [19:23] wait until you have a usb stick then [19:24] is there a place to report spam on launchpad? [19:24] i had a kind of hilarious one https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+question/402913 [19:24] though i find it hard to believe people do not have a usb stick at hand these days [19:24] "toiletsadviser" [19:24] anarcat: try #launchpad [19:24] thanks [19:27] rofl! unbiases reviews of home toilets [19:27] !ot | enigma9o7[m] [19:27] enigma9o7[m]: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

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/ [19:53] Sven_vB: sheeeesh :) [19:53] Sven_vB: what a pain [19:53] sarnold, well, it's a java program.

[20:14] oscurochu: what version of ubuntu is this? [20:14] reinstall ubuntu would take me 4 hours... fixing a boot issue should take 10 minutes. [20:15] 20.04 [20:15] oscurochu: you're 3 minutes into not being able to fix your boot issue in 10 minutes [20:15] cause after i get ubuntu installed and booted, i gotta spend another several hours getting all my software installed. [20:15] oscurochu: make a list [20:16] no [20:16] ok, good luck [20:16] i'd rather wait for someone more experienced to help me [20:17] unless this boot repair actually works [20:17] oscurochu: no, you're looking for someone willing to give you every single command already written up in articles and documentation, one of which has alread been given to you [20:17] lol no [20:29] Hello, [20:29] I am using Ubuntu 16.04.7 64bit OS.

I am running Ubuntu 20 [20:58] Guest94: What release are you on? [20:59] Ubuntu 20.04 [20:59] are you using systemd-networkd or networkmanager or ..? [20:59] Guest94: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1317036/how-to-rename-a-network-interface-in-20-04 [21:00] That seems unnecessarily complex, I believe there's still a kernel boot parameter that restores the old naming conventions... [21:00] lol yeah i was about to say [21:00] The issue i am truly having is with snort [21:01] I 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 operates [21:02] jhutchins [21:04] does 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] what exact command did u type in [21:04] kexec: try running apt policy, I wouldn't be surprised if universe isn't enabled in the live sessions by default [21:05] kexec : "sudo apt-get install refind" [21:05] ;D [21:05] Guest94: There we are: pass net.ifnames=0 on the kernel command line [21:05] kexec: if universe isn't configured, try this, it might be a nice quick way to enable it if it works :) add-apt-repository universe [21:06] jhutchins : Thank you [21:06] Guest94: Note that I haven't tested that recently, but I believe it still works. [21:07] Guest94: thats basically the same command and i got the same result [21:07] jhutchins: will play with it later. i appreciate your guidance [21:07] sarnold: thank you, universe wasnt in apt policy. your command helped :) [21:08] woot [21:12] Hi === krabador is now known as Guest79 [22:12] my system froze up and I did not find any errors in the systat log.... https://dpaste.org/xJS8 could this of caused the my system to freeze? [22:20] dman777: yeah, that looks a lot like it would cause a lockup [22:21] dman777: I think chrome / chromium / blink / electron have a button somewhere for "don't use hardware rendering" that might help you [22:21] dman777: it'd probably be worth a bug report against the nvidia drivers [22:23] dman777: 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 calls [22:24] oh sarnold was already on it :-) [22:41] sarnold: hggdh: thanks === Daniel is now known as Guest783 [23:05] Am I allowed to ask a question about ubuntu here?

Where did you get the tool and how did you install it ? [23:12] https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/ddcci-driver-linux [23:13] Yes, I installed it from repo. sudo apt install ddcci_dkms [23:13] typo ddcci-dkms [23:16] rhat: Then a ' sudo apt purge ddcci-dkms ' should UN-install. [23:19] Does that mean sudo apt purge ddcci-dkms would delete the driver on /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-3/new_device? [23:20] rhat: Yeah - I would expect so. [23:22] Thank 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? [23:24] Goodnight. does anyone use termux + ubuntu + openvpn? [23:25] rhat: 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] I use ubuntu and openvpn [23:25] apparently connected everything ok, I saw the log on the server but I can't ping the private network [23:26] Actually i imported the config file.
