[01:12] <goddard> so i noticed i have a fingerprint setup screen in gnome settings now
[01:13] <goddard> it always fails to add but that is kinda cool
[01:13] <goddard> like maybe some day it will work haha
[01:13] <goddard> any pointers?
[01:24] <catch22> I do I install the cmake config files for dev libraries in ubuntu?
[01:24] <catch22> How do I..
[01:25] <goddard> apt packagename-dev
[01:26] <goddard> and i think some extra cmake stuff is in cmake extras package
[01:35] <hello-smile6> How much free space do I need on an SSD to do a Ubuntu Server install?
[01:41] <goddard> probably like 10 to 20 i don't remember exactly
[01:42] <goddard> depends on how tight you keep your install
[01:44] <Bashing-om> hello-smile6: Minimum: 2.5 gigs = per: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/installation docs.
[01:45] <jhutchins> goddard: I know 40g is overkill for an office workstation with communal storage (all storage on shared NFS).
[01:45] <jhutchins> I think 20 is quite adequate for a VM.
[01:47] <goddard> yeah totally just depends for sure.  Usually I fill up my home directory before anything else on a workstation.  Server maybe only a database or something if you are running that or email attachments on an email server.
[01:48] <jhutchins> goddard: Or just keeping a lot of email.
[01:49] <jhutchins> CMS servers tend to grow.
[01:50] <hello-smile6> Unfortunately, I don't have a hard drive mounted...
[01:52] <retrohman> help https://imgur.com/a/gQdrakB
[01:52] <retrohman> i cant type on my phone
[01:56] <retr0> anyone here
[01:57] <coconut> retr0, yes but what is your question?
[01:57] <retr0> why cant i install ubuntu
[01:57] <retr0> https://imgur.com/a/gQdrakB
[01:58] <coconut> that url does not give me a picture
[01:58] <retr0> i boot the cd and
[01:58] <retr0>  get this
[01:59] <coconut> again, no picture
[01:59] <Ravage> the link works here
[01:59] <retr0> https://i.imgur.com/ejb8d7X.jpeg
[02:00] <Ravage> do you have any USB devices connected?
[02:00] <retr0> usb mouse thats it
[02:00] <Ravage> is there a bios update available for your device?
[02:00] <retr0> im not sure about internal usb stuff
[02:00] <retr0> no
[02:04] <Ravage> which ubuntu version is this?
[02:04] <retr0> 11.1
[02:04] <Ravage> !eol
[02:05] <hello-smile6> I think 11.1 is broken
[02:05] <retr0> its all I have
[02:05] <Ravage> download a supported version and come back
[02:05] <retr0> other than stupid win server 2008 which needs drivers but has no internet
[02:05] <retr0> on a phone LOL
[02:05] <retr0> nah im done
[02:09] <hello-smile6> Is 6 GB enough for a VM's hard drive?
[02:11] <yang_qwq> hello-smile6: i think it's enough
[02:12] <yang_qwq> maybe?
[02:12] <hello-smile6> Okay, I just hope I can save my hard drive image after installing...
[02:42] <DarkTrick2> my system is not booting. I get stuck in initramfs.

[02:44] <DarkTrick2> when I run fsck from initramfs I get the a symbol lookup error
[03:05] <DarkTrick2> is my msg actually seen?

[04:34] <catch22> goddard: I installed the grpc-dev package but it seems to be missing the cmake config files for some reason.
[04:35] <catch22> Not having the cmake config files is super inconvenient and inconsistent with most other distros
[04:36] <catch22> Does ubuntu have a policy to not to include cmake configuration in the dev packages?

[07:56] <DarkTrick2> hello
[07:56] <DarkTrick2> I'm reinstalling ubuntu (without erasing)
[07:57] <DarkTrick2> I feel the process is stuck. How can I check if its still running?
[07:59] <yukiup> system monitor?
[07:59] <yukiup> hdd light
[08:11] <alocer[m]> improvise :P
[08:15] <DarkTrick2> yukiup: the process shows 0% cpu
[08:15] <DarkTrick2> But I'm not sure if that's a real indicator
[08:17] <yukiup> :/
[08:18] <KBar> DarkTrick2 I'd imagine something like `watch df` should show the process of "installation"?
[08:19] <KBar> DarkTrick2 by default, `watch` executes a given command every 2 seconds. `df` reports file system disk usage.
[08:20] <DarkTrick2> KBar: good start!
[08:20] <DarkTrick2> there is nothing going on on the drive
[08:23] <DarkTrick2> hm... ok apparently it was doing "something". so far my linux is gone
[08:24] <KBar> DarkTrick2 maybe try also `watch lsof -p UBIQUITY_PID`?
[08:24] <DarkTrick2> KBar: will try, thank you. reboot
[09:15] <Lebela> hello
[09:15] <Lebela> any ffmpeg powerusers around?
[09:17] <alocer[m]> guys, does any one have containertoolbx.org installed on ubuntu?
[09:18] <Lebela> is anything wrong with this?
[09:18] <Lebela> https://dpaste.org/G2JJ/raw
[09:19] <Lebela> Only the first overlay (ddd) gets applied, whereas the second overlay (eee) gets ignored without any errors
[09:19] <Lebela> I am talking about ffmpeg  (see paste above)
[09:20] <EriC^^> Lebela: not an ffmpeg expert but could it be missing the ";" at the 2nd line's end?
[09:21] <EriC^^> nevermind
[09:22] <Lebela> EriC^^, good that you said "nevermind" because I was seriously confused now
[09:23] <EriC^^> Lebela: i meant this line, but i guess it's not needed cause it's at the end of the -filter stuff, aaa_bbb_ccc_ddd][eee]overlay=0:0:enable='between(t,10,19)',format=yuv420p[aaa_bbb_ccc_ddd_eee]" \
[09:23] <geirha> have you tried #ffmpeg ?
[09:24] <Lebela> geirha, #ffmpeg has been dead for days
[09:25] <Lebela> geirha, I had multiple questions, but always left without any chat
[09:25] <Lebela> geirha, it was different some days ago
[09:25] <Lebela> but for the past couple of days, it's dead in there
[09:25] <Lebela> EriC^^, no ; at the end of the filter, only "
[09:25] <geirha> ok, so it's more active during weekdays than weekends then, probably
[09:27] <Lebela> my command is so simple,  it should go through like a breeze
[09:30] <EriC^^> Lebela: maybe you could make ffmpeg more verbose?
[09:31] <Lebela> How do you mean?  By re-programming ffmpeg?
[09:33] <EriC^^> Lebela: ffmpeg .... -loglevel +verbose
[09:34] <Lebela> oh, sorry, that's what you meant
[09:34] <Lebela> trying that now - brb
[09:34] <EriC^^> there's also +debug and +trace
[09:37] <Lebela> everything seems to be working
[09:37] <Lebela> every single overlay gets parsed
[09:37] <Lebela> I wonder, if my second overlay might be hiding behind a top layer?
[09:37] <Lebela> maybe it's there, but just underneath an other layer?
[09:38] <molkko> list
[09:42] <Lebela> https://stackoverflow.com/a/42945032
[09:42] <Lebela> what is [1] and [2] and [3] ?
[09:42] <Lebela> the first value in [] makes sense
[09:42] <Lebela> but the second [] set with [1] [2] [3]  makes no sense
[09:43] <Lebela> that could be the solution, though
[09:43] <Lebela> nevermind
[09:43] <Lebela> I just understood what they're doing

[11:08] <lotuspsychje> welcome hjalti[m]
[11:08] <Guest32> Hi, I think I may have found a bug relating to NFSv4 with newer Linux kernels, I imagine a general Linux bug rather than something specific to Ubuntu. Is this a good place to ask whether I should raise a bug against Ubuntu for this or if there is somewhere else I should go?
[11:12] <Guest32> I see the issue with Ubuntu 20.04 (all kernels, ie latest 5.13), but not with Ubutnu 16.04 (kernel 4.15). Very briefly, if I have a server with 10Gbit LAN and multiple clients with 1Gbit (all running same Ubuntu version) I see max speeds of under 1Gbit sec with Ubuntu 20.04 when using NFSv4, one client maxes out its 1Gbit connection and the others
[11:12] <Guest32> kind of seem to wait. If I force NFSv3 there is no issuse. With Ubuntu 16.04 and NFSv4 there is no issue. Her are a couple of images of iftop from Ubuntu 20.04 compring NFSv4 vs NFSv3 https://ibb.co/XjxQKVr https://ibb.co/mhY3JSR
[11:12] <jpataias> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and recently I have been having connectivity problems. I only have remote access at the moment but the network is really slow (only on this pc), and can't even access some sites/ips at times. I thought it had to do with my DNS or something but changing it didn't seem to have an effect. Any ideas on how to try to fix this?
[11:12] <jpataias> I am able to ping 8.8.8.8 for instance
[11:27] <DarkTrick> **Q** @SSD's SMART status: gnome-disk-utility has some "pre-fail" entries, while "Windows" (same computer) says "perfectly fine". Which one to trust?

[14:04] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[14:26] <jpataias> I am having multiple erros trying to update:
[14:26] <jpataias> Err:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main i386 libblkid1 i386 2.34-0.1ubuntu9.3
[14:26] <jpataias>   Connection failed [IP: 193.136.212.166 80]
[14:26] <jpataias> how can i fix this?
[14:29] <alocer[m]> where are you located? jpataias
[14:29] <alocer[m]> are you behind proxy?
[14:30] <alocer[m]> if not the sources.list is probably messed up. try reconfiguring the sources.list of apt.
[14:31] <jpataias> alocer[m]: i am in portugal and I don't think i am behind a proxy. a different machine that seems to have the same configuration works
[14:34] <jpataias> let me try to copy the sources from that machine
[14:35] <leftyfb> jpataias: that's not going to make a difference
[14:35] <leftyfb> jpataias: check the date and time on your machine
[14:36] <jpataias> leftyfb: it seems to be correct
[14:38] <leftyfb> jpataias: curl 193.136.212.166 &>/dev/null ; echo $?
[14:38] <leftyfb> jpataias: what does that give you?
[14:38] <jpataias> 0
[14:38] <leftyfb> try installing the package again
[14:39] <jpataias> leftyfb: could this have to do with some broken packages?
[14:39] <jpataias> trying again results in the same issue
[14:39] <leftyfb> jpataias: do you have broken packages?
[14:40] <BluesKaj> maybe change your package server in the package manager
[14:40] <jpataias> i am not sure please see: https://pastebin.com/wyxPgXBp
[14:41] <jpataias> i had some previous network issues that might have messed some update
[14:41] <jpataias> however apt-get install -f does nothing
[14:41] <leftyfb> jpataias: you have a mess there
[14:42] <leftyfb> jpataias: I would recommend a re-install. Unless you think you can remove/downgrade everything you pulled from kde.org
[14:43] <leftyfb> jpataias: it wants to upgrade packages from a 3rd party repo you can't access for whatever reason
[14:43] <jpataias> leftyfb: well that is a possibility. not sure how I would go about downgrading everything. but would these issues prevent packages from being downloaded?
[14:43] <leftyfb> jpataias: not directly, but you probably have other issues as well. Both of them are critical to the stability of your machine
[14:44] <jpataias> leftyfb: this is actually not vanilla ubuntu but kde neon. however I was seing those issues on some of ubuntu repos as well
[14:44] <leftyfb> jpataias: so you're not running Ubuntu then. Just an distro that also happens to use Ubuntu repos
[14:44] <jpataias> yes
[14:44] <jpataias> sorry about the confusion
[14:45] <leftyfb> jpataias: sorry, but we cannot support 3rd party distros here
[14:45] <leftyfb> jpataias: install Ubuntu and then we can help you
[14:45] <jpataias> leftyfb: sorry about that
[14:45] <jpataias> thanks for your help

[17:09] <Wh0> hi all
[19:40] <unrheal> Could anyone possibly help me install Ubuntu on a USB stick I made from the live bootable desktop ISO 20.04.3 LTS? I have installed Linux hundreds of times since 1992, but when I put the bootable stick in and it starts, flashes a messages for 1/10 of a second, which is then covered by the standard install screen. If I try to install anyway, it
[19:40] <unrheal> causes problems because my drives are /dev/sda, b, c, and d, but the USB stick pushes it's way into sdb, bumping the others up, ruining the fstab, etc.
[19:41] <starmatter> Hi
[19:42] <unrheal> I did discover the message, but can't submit a bug or ask question as it asks me to log in, and I need to reinstall to get at my password program to log in.
[19:42] <unrheal> Hi Starmatter  ;)  a person of truth?  ;)
[19:45] <wolf_> HelloHHHHhrr
[19:45] <wolf_> Hello
[20:04] <unrheal> I hope I wasn't kicked, i just noticed it said i wasn't connected but no kick message... I tend to hope for common sense when I start, and usually read guideline stuff as I go. Hope it was just the network, I don't want to mess with installing a real irc client while still at the install dialog.. so at the risk of being obnoxious.. did anyone see
[20:04] <unrheal> my question?
[20:05] <sarnold> unrheal: maybe: 19:40:41 < unrheal> Could anyone possibly help me install Ubuntu on a USB stick ...
[20:05] <sarnold> unrheal: but I didn't actually see what problem you had, why the installer wasn't working, etc
[20:06] <genii> Basically, get two usb sticks, put the installer on one, boot to that and choose the other to install the system to
[20:07] <unrheal> thank you, at least it got out before i lost connect. ..  Oh..  when I put the usb stick in, it takes /dev/sdb, which then messes my drive order after I reboot, you know what i mean?
[20:08] <genii> It should be mounting by UUID
[20:09] <unrheal> But if I put in two usb sticks, one will take /dev/sdb and another /dev/sde  (or whatever)
[20:09] <sarnold> sortof; it's pretty common for /dev/sd* names to change on reboots, etc, so I thought our installer used uuids like this for many years already https://termbin.com/5y3t
[20:09] <genii> So if you power off after installing the system, remove the stick which contained the installer but leave the other, it should boot to that
[20:10] <hams> hi! im trying to reinstall openproject because i messed up in the config "sudo openproject configure" so, i purged the package, reinstalled, ran the config again but instead of giving me the prompts it just reconfigures it the wrong way, how can i fix this to get the prompts again?
[20:10] <genii> ( assuming you install grub to the same drive you installed the system to )
[20:10] <unrheal> I have 4 drives in, and just want to install ubuntu (this one) on a partition, so I go into the gpartd-like option "other" or something like that
[20:12] <unrheal> I used to have the older grub, but when I installed (I think - another distro at least) debian, it upgraded grub, and caused my other partitions to be unbootable..
[20:12] <sarnold> hams: if you're lucky, 'openproject' is a script that you can just read, and find out where it stores setting. if you're unlucky, it's an executable, and it'll take something else to figure out where the settings are stored
[20:12] <sarnold> hams: does it have a manpage? eg
[20:12] <sarnold> hams: eg "man openproject" -- does that have a FILES section near the end?
[20:13] <hams> ha!
[20:13] <hams> sarnold, you're a genius
[20:13] <hams> it does have a man page
[20:14] <hams> sudo openproject reconfigure
[20:14] <sarnold> woot! :DS
[20:14] <unrheal> Perhaps there is some way to make the USB stick use some device besides /dev/sdxx ?  (sorry for prev. double post, no idea how)
[20:15] <sarnold> unrheal: there's much more stable names in /dev/disk/by-id/
[20:17] <unrheal> I don't recall seeing a way to select anything besides the sdxx in the actual installer's partition/disk manager - did I just miss it? Sorry if I did, I will go try again, if you think so..
[20:27] <unrheal> sarnold: not sure if you're pm'ing me.. not at all familiar with this client.. I will go try and attempt using by-id somehow, though I'll have to fix my other fstabs on the other installs... if it works, thank you.. and thank you for your help regardless. Apologies if I was out of order in any way - I've been working on this, due to trying to
[20:27] <unrheal> maintain multiple distros installed, and .. well, thanks, not to babble in channel
[20:30] <marc_> I repaird my Nvidia gtx780 for the 4th time lucky but now my screen is scrolling out of bounds im guessing i have to configure X11 how do i do that
[20:30] <tykling> (wom 31
[20:30] <tykling> whoops
[20:31] <unrheal> marc_ you got the nvidia drivers in, right?
[20:31] <sarnold> unrheal: these are public messages, not privmsg -- and no worries, you're completely fine :D
[20:31] <marc_> I nvidia panel showing so i guess so
[20:31] <sarnold> unrheal: I'm just unfamiliar with the installer, it's always used uuids for me :(
[20:32] <unrheal> thanks again sarnold
[20:32] <sarnold> unrheal: you're welcome, good luck :)
[20:33] <unrheal> marc_ not necessarily, go into the purple round updates thing and look under the one near the end that takes a minute to load that says what driver X is using.
[20:33] <marc_> says in nvidia panel 1920 x 1080(16:9) but i can scroll off screen like a vitual desktop
[20:37] <unrheal> Ya, if you can actually run it and get info, that means your using nvidia drivers too.. but, maybe update? I think it's like 490 now? just go to nvidia website, support, drivers... apologies, but it's half past noon and I haven't gone to bed yet.. I would at least check to make sure you are running the latest.. and even then, a re-install (of the
[20:37] <unrheal> nvidia drivers) might be worth a try
[20:40] <unrheal> I've had a lot of trouble with my card too, but it's also a bit old.. a 980 Ti w/ 6GB - 2nd to last on the list of supported by cuda..  sorry gotta run.. tired.. I need my system working soon, really really bad - since dec. 25th.. *sigh*
[20:40] <marc_> ok thanks
[20:52] <funhouse> My web folder is www-data, the user im logged in with via sftp is ubuntu, what is the best way to edit files, allow access to ubuntu to write the www-data folder?
[20:53] <sarnold> funhouse: I suggest chowning the directory and everything underneath it to ubuntu:ubuntu -- I think it's a silly default to let the web server process write to those files
[21:00] <funhouse> sarnold ok thank you much appreciated
[21:33] <BlackMage> i have the following errors on compile 465.19.01 nvidia drivers for the kernel 5.13.0: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kYxnCZMkyB/
[21:35] <MonoL> I can not find the pipe on this keyboard :(
[21:35] <BlackMage> what have you for a keyboard?
[21:36] <MonoL> It's a DIERYA DK61
[21:40] <BlackMage> right key under the backslash key?
[21:41] <MonoL> #~
[21:42] <MonoL> Shift + the key above enter = ~
[21:42] <MonoL> the key above enter = #
[21:44] <MonoL> I've tried every possible combo
[21:46] <BlackMage> what layout you have?
[21:46] <MonoL> Wish every key on my keyboard was a screen that changed it's display for what it currently is
[21:47] <MonoL> Hold shift and all the little screens pop to the new thing
[21:48] <jhutchins> MonoL: What country is the keyboard from?
[21:48] <MonoL> China probably
[21:48] <MonoL> idk
[21:48] <MonoL> got it from amazon
[21:48] <BlackMage> what amazon?
[21:48] <ogra> MonoL, like https://www.nemeio.com/ yu mean ? :)
[21:49] <ogra> *you
[21:49] <jhutchins> I ask because the British keyboards tend to be mapped idfferently.
[21:49] <jhutchins> ... than the US keyboards.
[21:49] <jchittum> MonoL: it's weird -- looking at it on Amazon, it _should_ be `shift + \`
[21:49] <MonoL> erm.. yeah I'm in the uk
[21:49] <jchittum> So it probably means that there's some sort of custom mapping happening
[21:49] <MonoL> obvs i picked uk layout
[21:49] <MonoL> yea
[21:49] <jhutchins> It seem like once upon a time there was a utility that would print your keymap...
[21:50] <MonoL> plz i need this
[21:50] <jchittum> wait, is it this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/356763/setting-up-a-uk-keyboard-layout
[21:51] <jchittum> what happens if you set keyboard to US in the settings? Settings - Keyboard - English(US)
[21:51] <MonoL> idk I guess I could try
[21:51] <MonoL> one sec
[21:52] <jhutchins> xkeycaps?
[21:53] <jchittum> OH, and this is sweet. On Impish (21.10), you can do Settings - Keyboard - (triple dot beside input) - View Keyboard Layout
[21:54] <jchittum> on that it shows the UK keyboard, for me, that | is shift + ` on a US keyboard
[21:55] <MonoL> There's three options for us input, (US,alt,intl.) (US, euro on 5) and (US,intl,with dead keys)
[21:56] <MonoL> Yeah the view keyboard layout is a picture of a full keyboard and it says teh pipe is next to the 1 but this is a 60% and I've got Esc next to my one and seems like no combo will on Esc will display a pipe
[21:59] <MonoL> I aliased the word "pipe" to be the actual pipe in bash
[21:59] <MonoL> But it's not ideal, now when i type p it waits for a bit to see if i
[22:00] <MonoL> to see if I'm about to type the rest of the word
[22:01] <jchittum> not ideal at all. You can get into making custom keyboard mappings. If you know the hex, you can start doing things with like xmodmap : https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-keyboard-custom-remap.html
[22:03] <jchittum> or since it's a US based board, maybe setting your input to one of the US layouts will work. I don't know of those three, because I just have English(US). but you can try add the others (you can have multiple keyboard choices), check their maps, and see if any work better with the 61 keybaord
[22:11] <MonoL> Ok I just set it to us and sure enough all the keys are where they say they are on the actual keyboard
[22:12] <MonoL> Not sure I've got it in me to go full custom with xmodmap but thanks for the suggestion
[22:13] <MonoL> Should have got a proper iso board really
[22:13] <MonoL> Still easy to swap between the two layouts for now
[22:33] <MonoL> Thanks for the help jchittum

[23:00] <renic___> hello
[23:12] <jhutchins> I had an interview where they wanted me to do a trial/demonstration/test of some kind, and the system they gave me to do it on would seem to randomly switch it's layout.  It turned out it had a special mapping for Hungarian, with some of the keys having multiple functions.
[23:13] <stavroP> hi
[23:13] <jhutchins> I did't get the job, but I'm not sure I really wanted to work for them.
[23:13] <stavroP> what was the job
[23:24] <jhutchins> Sysadmin.  They were one of the first companies to distribute their software as preconfigured VMWare servers.
[23:25] <jhutchins> Seemed like it would be cool work, but pretty squirrely work envornment.
