[04:48] <interdonut> I made a file /etc/modules-load.d/ddcci conf, which has a single line of ddcci_backlight, and rebooted. Then suddenly my Xubuntu 20.04LTS doesn't boot at all constantly showing erroneous message of "Timeout waiting for hardware cmd interrupt."How can I fix this?
[04:49] <davidhurwich> hey, wondering if I could ask a technical question
[04:50] <interdonut> I think this channel is open for any technical questions related to Ubuntu and it's flavors :)
[04:55] <davidhurwich> I installed Lubuntu 16.04 on an older HP laptop. The installation went through, but when the computer boots or reboots I get a message that states “No bootable image found, notebook will be shutdown” The laptop then shuts down
[04:55] <davidhurwich> When I turn on the computer and go into Boot Option I can run it until an option marked Ubuntu
[04:55] <davidhurwich> How can I get the OS to boot automatically when the computer boots up?
[04:55] <davidhurwich> Any advice?
[04:57] <gry> hello davidhurwich, it looks like the grub's boot options are not in the correct order
[04:58] <davidhurwich> I see, how would I fix this?
[04:58] <gry> could you please check in what order, and what options, are listed when you start to boot?
[04:59] <davidhurwich> by order, you mean the options in the Boot Options menu, correct?
[04:59] <gry> well, there are two places where this is specified - the bios, and grub
[04:59] <gry> would be interesting to take a photo of them both and share here, if you have a second device
[05:00] <gry> otherwise write down on a piece of paper and then write here manually, but make sure you copy them precisely
[05:01] <davidhurwich> I am in the BIOS menu, should I go under the System Information option?
[05:01] <oerheks> interesting..
[05:53] <Swift110-mobile> sup folks
[06:16] <interdonut> I added a new rc file under /etc/modules-load.d and my Xubuntu 20.04 doesn't boot. Does anyone know how to fix this, such as deleting the RC file using a bootable USB stick or such?
[06:17] <gry> probably in recovery mode in grub
[06:18] <interdonut> I triedk keep pressing Shift when the company logo appeared but to no avail
[06:20] <Bashing-om> interdonut: EFI systems is the escape key that grub looks out for.
[06:22] <interdonut> When I pressed esc when the company logo appeared, I came across BIOS setup screen
[06:26] <interdonut> The screen keeps giving error messages like mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware CMD interrupt.Probably because the new file ddcci_backlight.ko and old i2c-dev.ko are conflict upon boot.So I need to delete the former but...
[06:30] <KBar> interdonut: on HP laptops you can select "Continue Booting" and keep pressing Esc, you will get into GRUB
[06:30] <KBar> maybe try that?
[06:32] <KBar> interdonut: yeah, you can also boot from a Live USB and select recovery or remove the file
[06:34] <interdonut> KBar thankbyou for reply. can you give me a link showing how to remove with USB media ? I googled but I can't seem to find informative pages.
[06:36] <KBar> interdonut: you can just click on the icon of your hard drive and it will mount it. You can just `sudo rm` that file after.
[06:36] <KBar> interdonut: nothing special required.
[06:37] <interdonut> KBar Sounds great!! I'll give it a shot.Thank you so much for saving my life
[06:38] <KBar> interdonut: woah, woah, i'm not sure about that but im glad i could help :)
[06:53] <interdonut> I deleted the module with USB and now my xubuntu booted successfully!Thank you all for helping me out :-D
[06:55] <gry> interdonut, this is good
[06:55] <gry> interdonut, you're welcome to stay in here and in #xubuntu at your leisure and meet new people
[06:58] <interdonut> Thank you for a warm word.I'm really glad to see awesome people here.I'll check out Xubuntu channel too.
[07:00] <gry> good plan

[07:53] <KBar> interdonut: awesome! in the future, try messing with modules via boot parameters, i.e. appending them to the kernel command line. that way you can test each module individually without messing up everything else because the changes are temporary and discarded on reboot
[07:53] <KBar> interdonut: you can read about it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters
[09:13] <ice99> I disable avahi but still snort is reporting "SCAN UPnP service discover attempt [**] [Classification: Detection of a Network Scan] [Priority: 3] {UDP} 10.1.0.3:42659 -> 239.255.255.250:1900" what could be initiating it?
[09:37] <mncheck> is there a file system path with any supported file system to point to the current user canonically without actually referring the user? something like /proc/self but for users. I want to use this in autofs maps
[09:45] <ogra> mncheck, there are environment variables ...  like $USER
[09:51] <mncheck> ogra, autofs(5) tells me that an entry is key [options] location out of which only location performs variable substitution, also the specific application is of secondary importance to me
[09:52] <mncheck> ogra, so if you were to enter a path to the "key" field that wouldn't be variable substituted
[09:52] <mncheck> ogra, I've tried this a few months back and it wasn't
[10:03] <alkisg> What does "point to the current user" mean for a path? The most well known one is `~`, which refers to $HOME; if you're talking about the username, I don't think it matters, as HOME might not even contain the username
[10:04] <alkisg> Note though that `~` is interpreted by programs and libraries, so it doesn't work in all cases
[10:08] <webchat72> I have dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04. Both were working fine without an issue. Today I started laptop and from grub menu I selected "Windows Boot Manager" and when I selected it grub menu reappears instead of booting Windows. Ubuntu boots normaly. Any idea how to fix a problem?
[10:15] <YeahOK> I know how to fix it, @webchat72
[10:15] <webchat72> YeahOK, some help is welcome.
[10:15] <YeahOK> .... Need to change BIOS settings or use the BIOS boot menu so it points to the default bootloader you want to use ... But they will reset each other and conflict i.e. Windows v. Grub
[10:17] <YeahOK> And all of this is even more complicated, @webchat72, depending on whether or not Bitlocker is enabled.
[10:17] <webchat72> I already tried to change BIOS settings. I changed order BIOS start-up settings from "Ubuntu" first and "Windows" second, to Windows first and Ubuntu second, but grub still starts up. I expected Windows to start up.
[10:18] <webchat72> Yes, bitlocker is nabled.
[10:18] <YeahOK> Then you'd want to disable grub in Linux ... You'd have to start editing the scripts
[10:18] <webchat72> How to do that.
[10:19] <YeahOK> There are only two ways I can think to do this: One, change the BIOS configs; Two, change the GRUB behavior inside of your distro
[10:19] <YeahOK> But among those two options are several different steps
[10:19] <YeahOK> Also, Secureboot vs. Legacy Boot would also come into play
[10:20] <webchat72> I just don't understand what has happened that Windows boot does not work. Don't know what triggered it. What is the simplest way to fix the problem?
[10:21] <webchat72> Is there a way I can get some error displayed from grub menu selection. So when I select Windows option from grub, to see the error. It is easier to search for solution if there is an error displayed.
[10:22] <YeahOK> I'd say, whenever you're trying to dual boot, these issues arise
[10:22] <YeahOK> Dual booting is never a first preference. I literally just started doing it today because I had no other way to easily run both OSes
[10:22] <webchat57> Hello
[10:22] <YeahOK> I don't have the space in my office for two machines and I have three different SSDs in this box
[10:23] <TheGibson> I'm about to crash. I'll DM you, @webchat57
[10:23] <webchat72> OK
[10:24] <webchat57> soft lockup - cpu#1 stuck for 22s on ubuntu 20.04.3 on virtual machine??
[10:24] <webchat57> any one has solution for this
[10:26] <TheGibson> I spent all day messing with my dual boot
[10:26] <TheGibson> And I'd need more information even if I could fix it
[10:26] <TheGibson> I'd need to know about the type of BIOS, boot mode, distro, kernel etc
[10:27] <TheGibson> All of that is relevant
[10:32] <spagoote> what am I doing wrong here? the excludes don't work: rsync -zavh --dry-run --exclude='/home/ubuntu/1hdd' --exclude='/home/ubuntu/2hdd'  --progress /home/ubuntu/ /home/ubuntu/1hdd/Backups/Docker/
[10:42] <spagoote> right, looks like you can't use full path, needs to be '1hdd'.
[11:05] <tekita> hello there can someone help me i have issue with network-manager and wicd
[11:07] <tekita> hello there can someone help me i have issue with network-manager and wicd
[11:08] <zaggynl> hi tekita, welcome to IRC, please dump your question, someone may know and respond
[11:09] <tekita> hi zaggynl i have remove from apt network manager and installed wicd, but now i dont have internet  :(
[11:09] <tekita> when i type wicd-gtk in terminal i have an error
[11:10] <tekita> someting.. unable to load try icon, missing both egg.traicon...etc
[11:11] <zaggynl> what version of ubuntu are you on and how did you install wicd?
[11:12] <zaggynl> if I have a quick look on my ubuntu 20.04 machine there is no wicd package in repositories
[11:13] <tekita> i have ubuntu mate 18.04
[11:13] <zaggynl> you should be able to roll back by reinstalling networkmanager again
[11:13] <tekita> yr]e
[11:13] <tekita> you should be able to roll back by reinstalling networkmanager agai
[11:14] <tekita> how?
[11:14] <zaggynl> sudo apt install network-manager
[11:14] <zaggynl> if the packages are still on disk
[11:14] <tekita> no i cant
[11:14] <tekita> i was doing --purge and than rebooting system
[11:15] <tekita> failed to fetch http...
[11:15] <zaggynl> ah, in that case you will need something like a usb stick with ubuntu 18.04, add it to apt repositories
[11:15] <tekita> so, can you explaine to me. i have usb with ubuntu 18.04
[11:16] <tekita> but i dont know procedure how to install it from there
[11:16] <zaggynl> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:16] <zaggynl> make sure it's in there
[11:17] <tekita> zaggynl, i dont have usb on that list only something deb cdrom
[11:18] <zaggynl> this may help: https://ubuntu.forumming.com/question/10902/how-to-install-packages-from-ubuntu-installation-media-offline#comment-21
[11:21] <tekita> zaggynl, i saw that but i dont understand this line: if [ ! -d /media/apt ]; then sudo mkdir /media/apt; fi
[11:22] <mncheck> alkisg, /proc/self does something and the imaginary /run/user/self would point to different places for different users, I don't really care where as long as I can mount on top of it
[11:22] <mncheck> alkisg, IDK, different mount name space?
[11:23] <tekita> what is command touch do?
[11:23] <tekita> to that file?
[11:23] <alkisg> mncheck: you can try ~/folder and see if your apps support that. Unfortunately `~` isn't handled by the kernel itself, so it's not as low level as you'd like.
[11:23] <alkisg> I'm not aware of any alternatives
[11:25] <tekita> zaggynl, do i need to write this line in sources.list?
[11:27] <zaggynl> tekita: only the instructions bit from Nathen should work
[11:27] <zaggynl> add the repo, remove the old /media/cdrom folder, setup the symlink, update and install
[11:40] <tekita> zaggynl, that didnt work for me :(
[11:54] <ice9> if an app exists in snap but I need to force installing it from apt only, how to achieve this?
[11:54] <ice9> like chromium browser
[11:58] <nikolam> I would just like my PC not to freeze, when some app fills the RAM (be it Firefox or VirtualBox, etc).
[11:58] <nikolam> Fhat is wrong with that, that application can handle how much system RAM and swap there is on machine and act accordingly?
[11:59] <nikolam> I have 16GB and many Firefox windows and then I started VirtualBOX machine and system freezed. I also use ZFS for home folders but it has it's limits for RAM caching use.
[12:01] <ledeni> nikolam, check how much mem your have for VM
[12:03] <tekita> zaggynl, are you still here?
[12:05] <nikolam> ledeni, thanks, but the issue is why OS , kernel does not stop and manage RAM usage, so that system won't ever freeze?
[12:06] <nikolam> Why apps do not crash when theya re not created to be limited by RAM size?
[12:07] <nikolam> For Example, with many windows to restore, Firefox fails to even start, if there is no present Swap and working on the system. Even if swap is actually not used and there is plenty pf RAM for Firefox.
[12:08] <nikolam> That should be application issue not recognizing there is no more RAM. And OS should make a point by not letting it use more if it leads to frezzing desktop.
[12:17] <gordonjcp> nikolam: it doesn't freeze, it just goes very slowly
[12:17] <gordonjcp> nikolam: this is even more noticeable now since the disparity between memory and processor speeds and disk speeds is so great
[12:17] <gordonjcp> nikolam: in the olden days you could be swapping in and out more or less constantly and barely notice it happening
[12:19] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I don't think that is issue here. Issue is that kernel and OS does not handle misbihaving apps.
[12:20] <nikolam> Apart form the memory overcommit issue and letting misbihaving apps continue to misbihave
[12:36] <gordonjcp> nikolam: in what way are they misbehaving?
[12:43] <nikolam> gordonjcp, well, as I described, they use all available RAM without stopping itself and that leads to freezing screen, desktop, keyboard, whole OS needs to be hard-reset
[12:44] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I got to go now, will be back later
[12:44] <nikolam> BBL
[12:44] <webchat72> I have dual boot. Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04. Both have booted fine for months. Today I wanted to boot Windows and when selecting: "Windows Boot Manager" I got error: /EndEntire
[12:44] <webchat72> file path: /ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(1,2)/PCI(0,0)/UnknownMessaging(17)
[12:44] <webchat72> /EndEntire
[12:44] <webchat72> error: cannot load image.
[12:49] <mncheck> which in the FHS should you put site-wide user data? I want users to have the same path to a windows share on all machines, but separated by unix user so they can access the share with their own credentials at the same time
[12:50] <mncheck> I've been thinking /srv but I don't know if a site-wide share is "a service provided by _this_ system", emphasis mine
[12:56] <tekita> i really need help how to install package from usb but without internet [ubuntu 18.04] package is network-manager-gnome
[12:56] <tekita> please!
[13:03] <ice9> if an app exists in snap but I need to force installing it from apt only, how to achieve this?
[13:08] <gordonjcp> ice9: that's a fairly difficult question to answer because the premise is vague
[13:08] <gordonjcp> ice9: what exactly are you trying to do?
[13:22] <neure> hi
[13:22] <neure> I am using Ubuntu 20.04, gnome desktop, and I wonder how would I edit my theme, I'd like to change window title colors.
[13:33] <ice9> gordonjcp, i need to install an app from apt, not from snap
[13:34] <ice9> and apt install, keeps installing it from snap automatically
[13:45] <ogra> ice9, which app ? there are only two that could do that (simpy because there exists no deb for these anymore) firefox and chromium
[13:45] <ogra> deb-to-snap transitional packages exist for no other apps in the archive ...
[13:46] <ice9> i was able to install firefox from apt, but chromium is always installing from snap
[13:46] <ogra> well , firefox will be gone in 22.04 as well (on request of mozilla)
[13:46] <ogra> it is just still there for flavours to have time to transition
[13:46] <ogra> (in 21.10 that is)
[13:48] <ogra> ice9, was all announced in dept on discourse ... https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/feature-freeze-exception-seeding-the-official-firefox-snap-in-ubuntu-desktop/24210
[13:48] <ogra> *depth
[13:49] <BluesKaj> 'morning folks
[13:55] <gordonjcp> ice9: that's not really explaining the problem
[13:55] <gordonjcp> ogra: really?  I'm on 22.04 and it has Firefox
[13:55] <smellygorilla> dyheyhde
[13:55] <smellygorilla> dude i suck dick
[13:56] <smellygorilla> NIGGGGGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS
[13:56] <ogra> gordonjcp, i'd expect it to transition fully to the snap before release
[13:57] <leftyfb> !op | smellygorilla
[14:01] <gordonjcp> ogra: so is it just .deb Mozilla object to, or what?  I'm struggling to find anything online about it
[14:03] <JackFrost> Woah, firefox is disappearing?  Well then..
[14:04] <leftyfb> JackFrost: no
[14:05] <leftyfb> Mozilla will no longer be making .deb's for Firefox and will only be providing Firefox in snap format going forward
[14:05] <leftyfb> Firefox will be available in snap format in Ubuntu
[14:06] <JackFrost> Well, it wasn't really Mozilla doing that, but yes same diffference.  Disappearing from the archive, only avilable in snap format.
[14:06] <leftyfb> JackFrost: how is it not Mozilla doing that?
[14:08] <JackFrost> leftyfb: Packaging firefox for Ubuntu, that is.
[14:08] <leftyfb> JackFrost: Mozilla packages the snaps for Firefox
[14:09] <JackFrost> Good for them? "Mozilla will no longer be making .deb" that's all I'm getting at, they weren't the ones doing that bit.  It's a moot point really.
[14:11] <njd001> oh thank god you people are awesome :)
[14:12] <leftyfb> njd001: welcome to the Ubuntu support channel. What is your support question?
[14:13] <njd001> so qq and I'll preface it with I may have found an article so it may answer my q. I am trying to get sssd to reset AD password.
[14:13] <njd001> danke! i may become a 'resident' as i too sit in a few other channels and i love to learn.
[14:14] <njd001> leftyfb i found this article https://askubuntu.com/questions/981570/active-directory-users-unable-to-change-passwords-sssd
[14:15] <njd001> i get a different error and that article of course is for 16.04 and well i am on 20.04.3 LTS
[14:16] <leftyfb> njd001: ok, be patient, someone who might be able to help will answer if and when they are able to
[14:20] <njd001> leftyfb copy that. (like #cisco, truenas etc) your irc question will be answered in the order which its received. ;-)
[14:36] <iomari891> greetings, is there any way to sort favorites in file open diaglogs?
[14:37] <leftyfb> iomari891: open nautilus and drag and drop them to your liking
[14:38] <iomari891> does that work in other dialogs? Any why isn't a sort function built in?
[14:38] <iomari891> I don't use nautilus.
[14:38] <leftyfb> iomari891: what DE are you using?
[14:39] <iomari891> kubuntu.
[14:39] <leftyfb> iomari891: maybe ask in #kubuntu then
[14:39] <iomari891> ok. thanks
[14:44] <blaub> hi
[14:44] <blaub> tried to install 21.10 but i'm stuck on loading screen, it only shows the default desktop but without the icons on the left
[14:44] <blaub> i've tried it with 2 different usb sticks, front side and back usb ports
[14:48] <robertparkerx> how do I find out what dir are taking up the most space in a path?
[14:48] <gordonjcp> robertparkerx: du
[14:48] <leftyfb> robertparkerx: use ncdu
[14:49] <gordonjcp> robertparkerx: you can pass switches to it to set the depth it tells you about
[14:49] <robertparkerx> how do I use that?
[14:49] <leftyfb> robertparkerx: sudo ncdu /
[14:49] <gordonjcp> robertparkerx: "du -hd1" will tell you the totals for one layer of directories, in human-scale units
[14:50] <leftyfb> robertparkerx: ncdu is more of a graphical(in your terminal) representation of space being utilized across your entire system
[14:50] <iomari891> greetings,
[14:50] <robertparkerx> ncdu is not available
[14:50] <leftyfb> robertparkerx: install it
[14:50] <robertparkerx> how do I use du -hd1
[14:50] <leftyfb> robertparkerx: sudo apt install ncdu && sudo ncdu /
[14:51] <iomari891> if I update to 22.04 beta now, will it automatically become the stable version in april if I apt update regularly?
[14:51] <leftyfb> iomari891: yes, though unless you are developing for it or reporting bugs, it's not recommended
[14:52] <iomari891> leftyfb: oh. Ok. thanks
[15:18] <ogra> JackFrost, it was mozilla askig for it ...  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/feature-freeze-exception-seeding-the-official-firefox-snap-in-ubuntu-desktop/24210
[16:17] <freaq> Hey, I have a 1gb network card that is showing as 100mb on my router can anyone help? The card is BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet with bnx2 driver on ubuntu 20.04
[16:18] <leftyfb> freaq: try #networking.
[16:18] <freaq> ok thanks
[16:18] <leftyfb> freaq: also, check the cable you're using
[16:22] <jhutchins> freaq: ethtool can show you some details of the connection, what it thinks the card is doing.
[16:23] <mncheck> which package does /usr/bin/ps come from?
[16:24] <leftyfb> mncheck: why?
[16:26] <jhutchins> mncheck: procps, which can be found with dpkg -s `which ps`
[16:27] <freaq> jhutchins ethtool shows supported link mode of 1gb but current speed 100.. I'm guessing that means its a cable issue?
[16:27] <jhutchins> freaq: Could be cable, could be negotiation.
[16:28] <jhutchins> freaq: Is Auto-negotiation on?
[16:28] <leftyfb> jhutchins: dpkg -s `which ps` # does not result in procps
[16:28] <freaq> jhutchins yes auto-negotiation is on
[16:29] <jhutchins> leftyfb: You could contribute by correcting the case error rather than just complaining.
[16:29] <jhutchins> mncheck: it's -S, not -s.
[16:30] <leftyfb> jhutchins: /usr/bin/ps is not a file in any package. It's created post-install. The proper location is /bin/ps. This is a big reason(among multiple) why I want to know why mncheck needs to know which package the ps command is part of
[16:31] <jhutchins> leftyfb: Funny, my system returns procps as the source.
[16:31] <leftyfb> jhutchins: which version?
[16:32] <leftyfb> wait, it shouldn't. I tested on bionic and focal
[16:32] <jhutchins> 3.3.12
[16:32] <jhutchins> leftyfb: How is this helping people?
[16:33] <leftyfb> jhutchins: ah right, it does on bionic. Not for modern Ubuntu releases
[16:33] <leftyfb> though still, it points to /bin/ps, not /usr/bin/ps
[16:33] <leftyfb> so still doesn't actually answer mncheck's question
[16:34] <leftyfb> mncheck: why do you need to know where /usr/bin/ps comes from?
[16:35] <freaq> how could I check if my network issue is a auto-negotiation issue? I don't have another cable to check if its a cable issue atm
[16:36] <leftyfb> freaq: boot into your BIOS and see what your router says
[16:36] <leftyfb> freaq: I can almost guarantee it's still going to say 100M and is unrelated to your OS
[16:37] <freaq> I can't do that very easily is a server in my basement.. an old dell r710
[16:38] <leftyfb> freaq: you can with the iDrac/ipmi
[16:38] <freaq> reboot to bios with idrac ?
[16:38] <leftyfb> freaq: yes
[16:38] <leftyfb> freaq: using the virtual terminal
[16:40] <freaq> ok thanks i'll check that out
[16:45] <njd001> solved my issue, turns out i didnt read the prompt correctly.
[16:47] <mncheck> leftyfb, to install it in debian-slim
[16:47] <leftyfb> jhutchins: this is why I ask ^
[16:48] <leftyfb> mncheck: do not install packages from ubuntu, ESPECIALLY procps on Debian. Debian has it's own package for ps and the like
[16:49] <leftyfb> mncheck: if you have issues with ps in Debian, that is for #debian or wherever their IRC support channel is. Looking to Ubuntu is not the answer
[16:52] <BrianBlaze> I have a weird issue where I noticed my server would grind to a halt for a moment and I notice this a million times in my syslog: https://pastebin.com/NVUNpMzw
[16:53] <BrianBlaze> I am wondering if someone can point me into a direction of what is going on
[16:53] <mncheck> leftyfb, sure, I just assumed it the same package name
[16:53] <leftyfb> mncheck: no
[16:53] <BrianBlaze> Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS by the way :)
[16:53] <leftyfb> mncheck: look to Debian for support with Debian, not here
[16:53] <leftyfb> BrianBlaze: any reason you have an Nvidia video card in your server?
[16:54] <BrianBlaze> So I don't use it often but it was to have it connected to a screen
[16:55] <leftyfb> BrianBlaze: if it's got an integrated video chipset, I would use that and remove the nvidia
[16:57] <Error> is there a guide to configure tunnelbroker in ubuntu 20.4?
[16:57] <leftyfb> Error: tunnelbroker is not a supported package in ubuntu. You'll have to seek support from the vendor
[17:11] <mncheck> leftyfb, true
[17:17] <mncheck> leftyfb, by the way I get one ps from procps package which I based on rmadison and the man page
[17:19] <leftyfb> mncheck: correct. I'm pretty sure the /usr/bin/ps is just a copy for whatever reason that gets copied during post-install scripts. It's not the destination of the ps binary in the package install instructions
[17:19] <leftyfb> mncheck: either way, if you're not running ubuntu, none of this is relevant here
[17:19] <mncheck> leftyfb, any project targeting information extraction from postinstalls?
[17:20] <leftyfb> mncheck: try #debian
[17:20] <mncheck> leftyfb, hey, I am running ubuntu, just not on the system in question, and that problem is solved, now it's just another question :)
[17:21] <leftyfb> mncheck: what version of ubuntu?
[17:21] <mncheck> focal
[17:30] <freaq> leftyfb any tips on checking lan config with ipmitool ?
[17:31] <freaq> I can't seem to get the virtual console to load in idrac
[17:32] <leftyfb> freaq: go to the idrac -> virtual console settings and select HTML5 as opposed to native or java
[17:33] <leftyfb> freaq: at least do this, go and look at the writing on the ethernet cable that's plugged in. It'll say CAT5 or CAT5e or CAT6.
[17:34] <leftyfb> freaq: IPMI isn't used to configure the speed of your NIC
[17:34] <leftyfb> freaq: and none of this relates to ubuntu
[17:38] <leftyfb> freaq: also, update the iDrac and lifecycle firmware
[17:44] <JackFrost> ogra: Yes indeed, thanks for the link too!
[17:46] <lord_daemon> Does anyone run openvpn client with termux + ubuntu?
[17:47] <leftyfb> lord_daemon: a survey isn't the best way to get support with an issue. Please detail your issue, preferably with logs and/or error messages using pastebin and wait for someone who is able to help you
[17:49] <lord_daemon> I'll do that soon, thanks
[18:02] <BrianBlaze> leftyfb, I forgot many moons ago I put a video card in this so it could be a desktop and left it when I made it a server
[18:02] <BrianBlaze> removed videocard problem solved lol
[18:02] <BrianBlaze> thank youuuuu
[18:43] <ASC__> Hi! How do I generate 'yescrypt' (called "$y$" in /etc/shadow) hash for a password? Using salt like in /etc/shadow.
[18:43] <ASC__> From shell, for example.
[18:45] <mncheckm> does ubuntu advantage include better driver binaries or support to choose a good driver version?
[18:46] <leftyfb> mncheckm: no
[18:47] <leftyfb> ASC__: https://techoverflow.net/2021/05/15/how-to-run-mkpasswd-with-yescrypt-on-ubuntu-debian/    # I'm not sure if this is still the case. BTW, found by searching google for "ubuntu yescrypt"
[18:47] <mncheckm> can have  NVIDIA GM107GL [nvs 810]

[18:51] <lirodon> quick question, what methods would any of you recommend for cloning an Ubuntu install to a new drive? (SSD migration)
[18:51] <leftyfb> lirodon: dd
[18:52] <leftyfb> lirodon: though honestly, I would just do a fresh install
[18:54] <mncheckm> lirodon, if you go dd, be sure to set at least bs=64k
[18:55] <mncheckm> lirodon, if you want graphical there is redorescue and rescuezilla, I didn't use any of them
[18:56] <mncheckm> both are based on clonezilla, which as I understand is a file-system aware dd that skips unused space
[18:56] <leftyfb> ASC__: yescrypt is available in Ubuntu 21.10
[19:05] <ASC__> Can't catch how to check password against hash. Here is what I'm doing: https://pastebin.com/raw/i1bV9zeA
[19:07] <leftyfb> ASC__: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1837456.html#
[19:07] <leftyfb> ASC__: found by typing your error message into google
[19:27] <ASC__> Looks like sit down and write C program. :) Well. Docker image behaves the same or similar: https://pastebin.com/raw/GJwPewRq Thus, may be not only Debian versions set issue, but smth. else.
[19:28] <ASC__> (Docker image via the link above - it's Fedora + mkpasswd)
 Thx!

[20:06] <ice9> how to enable pidgin notifications?
[20:08] <ice9> in 20.10
[20:09] <sarnold> ice9: 20.10 hasn't received any updates in half a year
[20:09] <sarnold> ice9: its replacement hasn't received any updates in a few weeks -- it's best to upgrade off 20.10 *now* before it gets vastly more complicated when releases are removed from the archives
[20:10] <ice9> sarnold, you mean to downgrade to 20.04?
[20:11] <sarnold> ice9: downgrades aren't really a thing. at this point it's time to upgrade twice, and consider sticking on 22.04 when that's released
[20:11] <Maik> !20.10 | ice9
[20:12] <ice9> sarnold, i'm so sorry for the typ lol, my release is 21.10 that i need to enable pidgin notifcations !
[20:13] <sarnold> ice9: ah :D that's much happier place to be :D
[20:13] <sarnold> ice9: alas I don't know much about pidgin things :(
[20:14] <leftyfb> ice9: what are you possible using pidgin for? jabber?
[20:14] <leftyfb> ice9: also, what version of pidgin do you have installed?   apt-cache policy pidgin

[20:26] <echo> nothing sorry
[20:35] <patiencezero> Is there anything like IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes by default in Ubuntu? NetworkManager is saying connections to my IPV6-only network are failing.
[20:35] <patiencezero> Even though I have a connection to the gateway and can ping local resources, I receive a 'connection failed, activation of network connection failed' notification and the network connection disconnects.
[20:36] <enyc> patiencezero: which ubuntu version?
[20:36] <patiencezero> 16.04 and 18.04
[20:36] <enyc> patiencezero: 16.04 not supported now aiui, not for this channel  but anyhow
[20:36] <leftyfb> patiencezero: time to upgrade, at least the 16.04
[20:37] <patiencezero> Maybe ipv4.may-fail?
[20:37] <leftyfb> patiencezero: lets talk about the 18.04 only, since the 16.04 version isn't supported ....
[20:37] <enyc> patiencezero: tbh i'd try this again on 20.04lts or 21.10  before doing any more
[20:37] <leftyfb> patiencezero: is this 18.04 machine a server or does it have a desktop GUI?
[20:37] <patiencezero> Desktop with GUI
[20:38] <leftyfb> patiencezero: how long have you had it?
[20:38] <enyc> I'm sure i've seen a tickbox on some systems (maybe not ubuntu) for  require ipv4 for connection to complete
[20:38] <nesoi> hello, I appear to have a full root device, am getting: -bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device, however this is an EC2 instance and I just increased the size of the root device from 8GB to 16GB and rebooted, and still get the error. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it?
[20:38] <enyc> patiencezero: but, if it "just works" on 20.04 or 21.10  would be best (imho) to just update to that version ...  ipv6 has had many improvements in many areas...
[20:38] <leftyfb> nesoi: did you resize the filesystem after increasing the storage device?
[20:39] <nesoi> leftyfb:  apparently not!
[20:39] <enyc> patiencezero: what about booting  20.04 and 21.10  on live usb sticks  and testing the network connection from those ?
[20:41] <nesoi> when I try growpart it says: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/tmp/growpart.1571’: No space left on device
[20:42] <leftyfb> nesoi: you don't do that live
[20:42] <leftyfb> nesoi: please seek support from Amazon for support with resizing one of their ec2 instances properly. You need to be out of band
[20:43] <nesoi> they respond in a few days unfortunately
[20:44] <leftyfb> nesoi: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html    # first result on google for "ubuntu ec2 resize"
[20:44] <nesoi> their docs don't say anything about that though https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/recognize-expanded-volume-linux.html
[20:45] <nesoi> right :)
[20:45] <nesoi> nothing about being out of band there though
[20:47] <patiencezero> enyc, I could try that... for now just couching the problem and coming back to it after fixing the issue on RH8
[20:47] <leftyfb> nesoi: clear some space first
[20:49] <leftyfb> patiencezero: if you're having the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 and RH8, the issue isn't with ubuntu. It's more than likely your network config on the router/dhcp side
[20:49] <nesoi> can I just delete some snap stuff?
[20:49] <nesoi> I think that's what caused the problem
[20:49] <leftyfb> nesoi: packages should be properly removed and not just deleted
[20:49] <enyc> patiencezero: i would try that as part of the whole thing, bear in mind this april there will be 22.04lts anyhow
[20:50] <enyc> patiencezero: why do you have a 16.04 still?
[20:50] <nesoi> it won't even list the snaps because of the space issue looks like
[20:51] <patiencezero> dependency issues, legacy systems, that sort of thing.
[20:51] <patiencezero> enyc, there are no good reasons, just reasons.
[20:52] <leftyfb> patiencezero: we cannot support 16.04 here. 18.04 will be out of support next April
[20:53] <patiencezero> I understand, the issue is present on 18.04 as well. It's a NetworkManager thing and so far appears to be related to ipv4.may-fail option in NM.
[20:54] <patiencezero> After setting ipv4.may-fail to yes, I'm no longer experiencing the issue on our RH8 host.
[20:54] <patiencezero> Time to see if the fix also works on Ubuntu 18.04...
[20:55] <leftyfb> patiencezero: time would be better spent migrating your critical data and services to modern OS's
[20:57] <patiencezero> Agreed, however those decisions fall outside my paygrade for now.
[20:57] <patiencezero> Maybe sometime in the future, though!
[21:07] <nesoi> ok that worked finally, when I found something to delete.
[21:07] <leftyfb> nesoi: what did you delete?
[21:08] <nesoi> something that shouldn't have been there. have to create a space file now for next time

[21:59] <Pecorch> hello
[22:01] <Pecorch> I am trying to set up a local file repo with ubuntu but I am stuck. do you have any guide guys please?
[22:03] <sarnold> Pecorch: 'local file repo'? what's that?
[22:03] <Pecorch> I have list of .deb packages and I want to make them available via apt install mypackage
[22:04] <sarnold> Pecorch: aha :) the apt-ftparchive is pretty common; aptly has more features but might be more work to set it all up
[22:04] <EriC^^> Pecorch: copy them to /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:05] <Pecorch> just copying the deb to /var/cache/apt/archives and I will be able to install them with apt install?
[22:05] <EriC^^> Pecorch: are they the 'stock' ubuntu repo files? or custom packages?
[22:05] <Pecorch> custom packages
[22:05] <EriC^^> Pecorch: oh, then nevermind
[22:05] <Pecorch> custom deb packages
[22:06] <Pecorch> so what is the solution?
[22:06] <EriC^^> look into what sarnold mentioned
[22:08] <Pecorch> ok
[22:09] <Pecorch> this should work then? https://manuel-io.github.io/blog/2017/07/09/creating-an-apt-repository/
[22:11] <Pecorch> asking because I am confused
[22:14] <Nomenclatura> update of opensshd failed. Now I can't reinstal, reconfigure, remove and install...
[22:14] <Nomenclatura> it just keeps failing with dpkg returned error code (`)
[22:14] <Nomenclatura> (1)
[22:17] <Nomenclatura> gotta love dpkg broken installation scripts
[22:17] <sarnold> Pecorch: yeah that looks sane enough
[23:01] <Pecorch> I followed the guide above but when I try apt update I get The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60FCF967A65FE321
[23:04] <gry> This is not a full error message. Please pastebin the full error message.
[23:05] <sarnold> check the permissions on the file you added to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d ?
[23:05] <gry> It will tell you which repository this key is for.
[23:05] <Jeremy31> Pecorch: in terminal try>  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 60FCF967A65FE321
[23:06] <Pecorch> ok
[23:06] <Jeremy31> Unless you made your own key
[23:07] <Pecorch> I run this before, gpg --gen-key
[23:07] <Pecorch> and I believe it created the gpg private key
[23:08] <Pecorch> what should I do now?
[23:12] <Pecorch> ?
[23:26] <nonix4> How should I link a git branch to launchpad bug report these days? Haven't added a changelog entry there yet though. https://git.launchpad.net/~iheino+ub/ubuntu/+source/bash/commit/?h=bugfix/1960366
[23:29] <Jeremy31> nonix4: try asking in #ubuntu-bugs, I don't know
