noobarooHi All. Tonight I turned on my system, and all of the sudden when I press WindowsKey(Super) and Left/Right arrow keys, it switches TTYs to various other login prompts. This is a huge problem as this keybind is what I use in my window manager. It has never switched TTY until today. How do I disable this spontaneous feature?03:13

noobarooHey all. I was able to Google and fix the problem I encountered earlier, but I have a new problem now that has kind of been chronic. I only have one sound card that outputs to several different device numbers... The default device is headphone jack.04:24
noobarooI want to change my default device from the headphone jack to HDMI sound. There are plenty of answers on the web how to set the default sound card, but I can't find a solution to setting the default sound *device* on the same sound card04:25
grynoobaroo: doesn't the audio mixer have an option for this?04:25
noobarooI'm using ALSA04:28
grynoobaroo: what application do you use to control sound sources?04:31
noobaroovolumeicon-alsa04:31
noobarooBack in 2016 I had a USB headset that registered as a separate sound card. I just slipped a .asoundrc file in my home folder and changed 0 to 1 and back again whenever I wanted to switch04:32
noobarooBut my problem now is, I want to change default *device* It's crazy how uncommon that is on a google search...04:33
sutangemmmm04:36
sutangUSB headset?04:37
noobarooYeah, a Turtle Beach headphones with mic. USB bluetooth I think. If not, USB wireless in some other way.04:38
noobarooThat's irrelevant, though. It's been a long time since I had that thing. My point is, it's easy to switch sound cards. Much harder (or at least, much less information) on how to switch devices04:39
sutangHave you tried changing the configuration file?04:43

sutangI have a raspberry pi.04:46
noobaroo.asoundrc is a little complicated for me to understand the workings. I guess that's why I'm here.04:47

nyuszika7hI have a weird issue on Ubuntu 21.10 where certain apps (gnome-terminal, Firefox) somehow get fully maximized (window frame still there) to the point where they hide behind the top status bar and the dock10:34
nyuszika7hit keeps happening multiple times a day and I have no idea what causes it, it's really annoying10:34

ztanesomething very wrong with snapverse :'D I've installed telegram snap in ubuntu 20.04 and now 3 times in a row, when handling files in telegram-desktop, entire X has frozen 100 %, had to give 6 second power to the computer...10:35
ztaneI thought snaps were supposed to be safer, not 100 % sure way of killing your computer :D10:35
ztanegiving power button also means that many files are now corrupted etc even though running ext4.10:37
nyuszika7hAlt+SysRq+REISUB may be safer, though it doesn't always work10:37
ztanenyuszika7h: yea gotta try that :D it still doesn't really help much, I had a form open in web browser and needed to throw in an attachment I'd receive in telegram...10:39

DimitrisIt is possible to install old lubuntu-desktop 16.04 with LXDE desktop environment in Ubuntu Server 20.04?11:06
guivercDimitris, lubuntu-desktop contains LXQt & has since 18.10; LXDE is available but isn't packaged by Lubuntu (it's been pure upstream Debian LXDE since 18.10)11:07
guivercYes it's possible; but as no longer configured by Lubuntu team; it maybe slightly different to 18.04 or before..  but yes it does work on 20.04/focal11:08
Dimitristhanks guiverc, so, suggest me to install xfce better?11:09
guivercWhat you use is your choice; Xfce is GTK3 now so a lot heavier than it was; LXDE is (deprecated) GTK2 still thus lighter assuming no GTK3/Qt5 apps are used...   LXDE or Xfce or other is your choice; Xfce is managed by the Xubuntu team whee as LXDE as stated is now just upstream Debian (but it works; I tested it)11:11
guivercs/whee/where ^11:11
ztaneangelacrust: doesn't differ from any other Unix use - you must always provide a complete file name, the extensions are not special...11:14
angelacrustgotcha11:14
angelacrustthanks11:14
Dimitristhanks for info guiverc11:15
guivercyou're most welcome11:15
DimitrisI have to decide now which is better for me :P11:16
guivercDimitris, I just noticed you asked in #lubuntu; LXDE is deprecated code; parts were ported to GTK3 where the heaviness was blogged about; another port was made to Qt5 & it was much lighter/faster leading to GTK3 port being abandoned & devs joining with Razor-Qt creating new LXQt Project.. Lubuntu switched to that replacement LXQt desktop in 18.1011:26
Dimitrisyou have right, I did not know this before asking the question11:29

jayFiddsHey is it possible to use the latest version of gnome on Ubuntu 21:10. If so how would I go about doing it16:46
foehammerdead chat xd16:46
foehammer@jayFidds by installing it16:46
plonhi16:47
jayFiddsI understand that lol. I can't find any tutorials on "how to"16:48
RavagejayFidds: use the version that comes with 21.10. replacing gnome will probably break a lot of stuff16:49
ploncan ubuntu work with raspberry16:49
Ravageand there is no supported way to do that anyway16:49
Ravageplon: https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi16:49
plonwhat is the best version16:50
plonthank you16:50
Ravagethere is no "best" version. only the one that fits your needs best. so read the page16:50
PTNapivoskiplon, why not rp pi os?16:51
leftyfbPTNapivoski: please discuss in #raspberrypi16:51
PTNapivoskiOK16:51
plonwe can't speak ...16:51
jayFiddsUnderstandable thanks. My main reason for wanting the latest version is the changes made to nautilus. I do allot of file renaming and can't stand having to right click and navigate a menu to simply rename a file. The latest version addressed this issue by implementing left click renaming16:51
leftyfbjayFidds: better off scripting it16:52
waveformjayFidds, which version specifically? (could check if jammy's got it -- the current dailies are *fairly* stable, although I've got a swapfile bug to crush, but it's trivial to work around)16:53
jayFiddsI honestly have no clue how to do that... I've been using Ubuntu for over 10 years. I'm not a power user at all16:53
RavagejayFidds: whats wrong with pressing F2?16:53
plonis faster ubuntu on raspberry16:54
jayFiddsI'm trying to avoid using my keyboard at all. I rename on average 500-1200 files a day. I simply copy and paste the given file name. That's allot of keyboard use16:55
leftyfbjayFidds: that is the opposite of being productive16:56
plonhave a nice day16:56
leftyfbjayFidds: you would benefit from learning some simple shell scripting16:56
Ravagea bash script or something like krename seems to be a much bettter way to do that then16:57
waveformjayFidds, nautilus is 40.2 in impish, 41.2 in jammy -- in case you can find out which version implements the functionality you want16:57
leftyfbjayFidds: https://www.makeuseof.com/batch-rename-files-in-linux/16:58

PCatineancertificates*18:14
PTNapivoski#openssl?18:14
sarnoldhere, or #ubuntu-server, or #ubuntu-security, depending upon the question..18:15
PCatineanI asked there, hope nobody minds I will copy it here also18:16
PCatineanCould someone please advise how one can generate a certificate with openssl command line and add the KeyUsage under the [critical] section? I have used the following command to generate one but it's under the non critical section openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -addext "keyUsage = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment" -keyout domain.key -x509 -days 3650 -out domain.cer18:16
sarnoldPCatinean: I've only ever seen them set from a .cnf file, https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man5/x509v3_config.html  has some examples of how to mark individual fields as critical18:19
sarnoldPCatinean: you might be able to make this "critical, .." thing work on the command line, too, but if you've already got a cnf for this, it might be easier to just go with it? heh18:19
PCatineansarnold, so I need to make a .cnf file and reference it from openssl18:19
PCatineanDid not use a cnf file, command I used is the one above that's all.18:20
sarnoldheh, the only hit for 'critical' on https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man1/openssl-req.html is in a cnf file, too18:20

kenperkinsI need some help; I'm running 20.04 on a 2021 Thinkpad, currently plugged into AC power via USB-C pd, and I swear it feels laggy in all aspects of using the system even if nothing is running. For example current uptime shows 0.61, 1.02, 1.86 but only running slack, hexchat, and terminal. 6 core i7-710U.18:25
kenperkinsI swear there is significant input delay in almost everything, but I don't know where to look or see what's wrong or quantify it18:26
lotuspsychjekenperkins: are you on xorg or wayland?18:26
kenperkinsDefault 20.04 configuration, I think that means xorg, let me grep ps just to be sure18:26

leftyfbkenperkins: see if killing slack helps. I know the snap version of that caused a lot of load on my machine18:30

kenperkinshow would I quantify that after killing slack18:31
kenperkinsconsidering this was like a $2500 laptop, I'm pretty grumpy that it's so damn slow in regular tasks18:31
kenperkinslel18:31
kenperkins(guess I'll never buy the high model again)18:32
leftyfbkenperkins: spend more time troubleshooting the issue and less complaining about it. Complaining is unproductive18:32
leftyfbkenperkins: quantifying is comparing before and after the issues you were seeing18:32
sarnoldkenperkins: try not running slack and see what happens? no one has ever said "wow slack is lightweight and so responsive"18:32

VIAbut .. ? it can access it clearly18:42

yollVIA: ls -l ./script18:43
yollVIA: file ./script18:43
kenperkinsoh that's part of the line, mb18:43
lotuspsychjekenperkins: you also got the usual lenovo acpi errors, and some iwlwifi disconnects18:43
VIAthanks! file ./x gives me the permission output, other line doesnt, and yes X isnt in there18:45
lotuspsychjekenperkins: and; i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=804088 end=804089) time 149 us, min 2146, max 2159, scanline start 2145, end 216518:46
kenperkinslotuspsychje, could the disconnects be me walking around with the device? I have 3 aps in the house. handoff or whatever it's call18:46
kenperkinsYea, I saw that error atmoic update when I saw dmesg, but no idea what that is18:46
sarnoldthat'll be video driver / video card problem, not wireless18:47
lotuspsychjekenperkins: dont think so, there's a lot of them, i would rather suspect an iwlwifi combo on kernel 5.1318:47
kenperkinssarnold, yea I knew it was a video error the dmesg line is prefixed with i91518:47
kenperkinsjust don't know what it means18:47
lotuspsychjeso you got a bit of everything going in there18:48
kenperkins:(18:48
sarnoldkenperkins: I'm not sure either, but it feels a lot like it'd be 'tearing' or other glitches, that it wasn't able to handle a video update in time18:48
kenperkinsI don't think that's the underlying slow system performance; could it just be the cpu clock speed? this is a 15w part, for example right now: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/zYD872qH6c/18:49
VIAokies thanksalot lotuspsychje yoll thats about the root of it!18:49
VIAi get an array of lines with other filnames the script works with, can i expect the cause being the same? they also need +x ?18:50
kenperkinshow can i force the max clockspeed to test?18:50
VIAwhy would something that just sits there need to be executeable. it totally adds up for the first one though18:51
leftyfbVIA: only if you're trying to execute the files18:51
lotuspsychjekenperkins: dont think the sluggishness is from cpu18:51
sarnoldkenperkins: you could set the performance cpu governor, that's worth a try18:51
leftyfbVIA: https://linuxfoundation.org/blog/classic-sysadmin-understanding-linux-file-permissions/18:51
lotuspsychjerather try what sarnold & leftyfb adviced a without slack experience, and maybe test a new user to compare too18:51
VIAno im not, some are certificates some other junk and a config file thats empty as of yet18:51
kenperkinscould it be a messed up power configuration? how would I verify which profile I'm on or it's configuraiton (I cna't remember what I did when I set this up originally)18:52
VIAi dont think certs get executed? maybe the erorr resolves once i havea proper config in place18:52
leftyfbVIA: you only need +x if you need to execute a file18:52
leftyfbVIA: you might be best served in #bash if you need help with shell scripting18:52
yoll+x needs for directories too, for listing of it.18:53
VIAthanks for the hint leftyfb much appreciated. but im very basic at this point18:53

kenperkinsI noticed in settings->power I don't have "Power Mode"18:54
AmericanI have an issue. My brightness on my ubuntu 20.04 has dimmed.18:54
AmericanWhat is the solution?18:54
AmericanI try the upper right corner to change it but the issue still is dim.18:55
AmericanI have an old node and I am not sure if it is hardware related18:55
leftyfbAmerican: boot into your BIOS and/or a live usb to see if it's still dimmed. If it is, the issue is the hardware18:56
Americanleftyfb smart solution. i will check. thank you my friend.18:56
kenperkinsapparently I'm using TLP, restarting with it disabled, brb18:56
kenperkinshere18:58
PCatineanleftyfb, how do you use that for something that is not tied to a domain?18:59
kenperkinshere's a fresh dmesg from a fresh boot with TLP disabled, I can already tell the fan is running more https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Vz9wGBrqJv/18:59
lotuspsychjethat looks a lot more sane now kenperkins19:00
=== Guest2951 is now known as American
sarnoldnice and quiet logs :)19:00
AmericanI still have same problem19:01
kenperkinswell, that previous dmesg was probably days of data, across sleeps and gaming and work, etc19:01
AmericanIt works on live distro but not on ubuntu 20.0419:01
AmericanIt is not hardware problem19:01
kenperkinsLet's start with how I get performance profiles enabled in settings->power; currently I don't hvae them19:02
leftyfbAmerican: is this occurring on a laptop screen or monitor?19:02
AmericanEnglish is my second language so I do apologize if I am off.19:02
AmericanLaptop screen19:02
kenperkinsshould I reinstall to 21.x?19:02
Americankenperkins shutup please.19:03
AmericanTrying to solve problem with leftyfb19:03
kenperkins...19:03
lotuspsychjekenperkins: note that 21.10 is a non -LTS if you want a more stable daily driver, pick LTS19:03
Americanleftyfb it is not hardware. i tried your solution to see if it was hardware by using live distro. smart idea but it makes my screen brighter. so i realize it is setting issues on the ubuntu19:04
leftyfbAmerican: xrandr --output $(xrandr -q | awk '/ connected/ {print $1}') --brightness 119:04
kenperkinslotuspsychje, I'm aware 20.04 is LTS, I'm just trying to figure out what I can isolate or change to figure out if I'm imagining a problem or it's real19:04
lotuspsychjekenperkins: well you are at your machine, does it feel less laggy now your dmesg calmed down?19:05
kenperkinsi do feel that there is some perceptable (non-zero) input lag as an example. it does not feel as fast as my desktop or mbp for typing at a terminal for example.,19:06
kenperkinsI also haven't started slack since I rebooted (which I use for work), but someone above made a comment re: snap slack performance19:07
lotuspsychjekenperkins: yeah, but we cant compare a lenovo with your desktop performance right19:07
kenperkins@leftyfb, made that reference19:07
leftyfbAmerican: this is a support channel for everyone. Do not tell others seeking help to "shut up". Please do not PM me either19:07
leftyfbAmerican: you have been muted by one of the channel ops for being disrespectful19:08
kenperkinsUnderstood that difference machines have difference characteristics, but my kids have similar acer laptops that feel much quicker in everyday tasks, even though they're cheap machines by comparison.19:08
leftyfbAmerican: did the command I give you adjust your brightness?19:10
lotuspsychjekenperkins: can we see a paste of systemd-analyze blame and systemd-analyze critical-chain19:10
AmericanAm i allowed to speak?19:10
leftyfbAmerican: yes19:10
AmericanI tried the command and it showed no difference in the brightness of the screen19:10
AmericanI apologize to the room if i was rude.19:10
leftyfbAmerican: xrandr --output $(xrandr -q | awk '/ connected/ {print $1}') --brightness .519:11
leftyfbAmerican: does that make it dimmer?19:11
AmericanYes19:11
kenperkinsblame: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/ywCF9Mpk7z/ critical-chain: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/5xPsGGYvx8/19:11

AmericanMuch better19:11
kenperkins@lotuspsychje, ^ not sure what I'm looking at here, unfamiliar with this one19:12
PCatineanleftyfb, the purpose of this certificate is to send as2 encrypted messages, can I generate one from Lentsencrypt for that purpose?19:12
lotuspsychjelooks pretty sane also kenperkins19:12
leftyfbAmerican: did you try adjusting the brightness using the brightness controls on your laptop keyboard?19:12
lotuspsychjekenperkins: i wanted to see if something could have bottlenecked userland19:13
leftyfbPCatinean: technically, yes19:13
Americanleftyfb thank you my friend. you have showed me what i needed. i apologize for being rude to the other member of this club19:13
Americani wish you a good day and thank you for your brain19:13
PCatineanleftyfb, so I would generate one using a specific domain then use the private key for encrypting the messages?19:13
leftyfbPCatinean: only if the other side uses the letsencrypt CA to decrypt. Not being a web browser, it might not be the proper solution19:14
PCatineanThey are handed the public key so then I'm not sure if this works19:15
kenperkinshow can I tell if I'm on slack snap? `snap connections` doesn't show it, apt list --installed shows slack-desktop/jessie,now 4.23.0 amd64 [installed]19:16
coconutkenperkins, snap list19:17
PCatineankenperkins, 'which slack' might reveal19:17
leftyfbkenperkins: looks like you have the deb package which is what I'm using now19:17
PCatineanusually the path would be /snap/bin/slack19:17
leftyfbkenperkins: did killing snap make any difference for you?19:17
kenperkinsyea it's /usr/bin/slack, and it's not listed in ubuntu software UI, so I'm guessing I downloaded the deb at some point19:18
kenperkinskilling which snap? I don't appear to have slack via snap19:18
leftyfbsorry, killing slack19:18

kenperkinsok coming back to cpu clock speed, from the internet my i7-10710u should clock up as high as 4.7ghz on one core or 3.9 across all six, but I can't get lscpu or /proc/cpuinfo to show higher than 1600MHz19:36
leftyfbkenperkins: your CPU probably scales as needed19:37
kenperkinsbut if I'm running a stress test, shouldn't that force it up?19:37
sarnolddepends on what you're stressing19:37
kenperkinsI've never seen it go above 160019:37
kenperkinscertainly seems that it's not boosting correctly, I'd like to dig in when I get back. how would I disable scaling and force a specific frequency to test?20:01
sarnoldkenperkins: check find /sys/devices/system/cpu -name '*gov*'  to find the directories where the governors are set; try setting to performance (that might just go full-tilt without any choices, though) -- and then look for scaling_min_freq scaling_max_freq files20:05

kenperkinssarnold, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy1/scaling_governor shows powersave, but /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor shows performance? I'm confused20:38

sybaritensarnold: shuf?!20:41
sybaritenthat was a new one for me. But ok, sarnold, this builds off urxvt specifically then i guess20:43
sybaritenlooks like a smooth solution, thanks20:44
sarnoldsybariten: yeah, and, it'll fail like .0014% of the time or something because the first line is stupid, but ... it's a start :)20:44
sybaritenyep20:44
kenperkinssarnold, maybe I should start with trying to get them to be consistent. what should I start with20:46
sarnoldkenperkins: dunno :( I've been lucky that the defaults always seemed to work okay for me ;(20:48
kenperkinsI'm so confused, I just for fun tried cpufreq-set --min 2000 and now `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz` shows 1600MHz as the min all the way up to 250020:54
kenperkinshowever lscpu still shows min of 40020:54

driadorhello all, quick question.  Running ubuntu 20.04, is there an easy way to write core files to user home directories, old school style?  looking at the manpage for core, I don't see a macro for a users home directory22:39
driadorwhile /var/crash is ok, I have users that will need to be able to examine core files without elevated privileges22:41
jhutchinsdriador: Are they running the code as themselves or as root?22:46
driadorjhutchins: as themselves22:47
jhutchinsdriador: It seems like that -should- leave the coredumps in the user's $HOME, but there might be something privileged that's actually crashing.22:48
oerhekssomething like this? sudo sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern="/home/$USER/<pathe>/%e_core_dump.%p"22:53
oerheks%e is the program name and %p is the program’s PID.22:53
jhutchinsIt looks like it's a bit of a mess depending on when the answers were written, who built the kernel, and whether systemd is involved (writes to journal).22:54
jhutchinsThe convention that it writes to the CWD of the program, which is often the directory it was called from, is not always true.22:55
jhutchins /etc/sysctl may have a config file, or it may be somewhere else.22:55
jhutchinsThe dumps may be in /var/crash22:57
leftyfbsudo sysctl -a|grep kernel.core_pattern22:59
leftyfbfrom what I understand, if the pattern doesn't start with /  then the core should be written in the CWD of the running program23:00
leftyfbdriador: https://sigquit.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/the-core-pattern/23:01
driadorbut I've set the core pattern via sysctl23:02

leftyfbthat applies your sysctl settings23:22
driadorah23:23
driadorthanks again23:23
driadorused to the bsd world :)23:23
sarnolddriador: btw the kernel doesn't know anything about "homedirectory"23:23
sarnolddriador: there's a knob to ask it to dump to the process's current working directory23:24
sarnolddriador: but "home directory" is entirely a userspace idea :)23:24
leftyfbsarnold: yeah, don't specify a directory23:24
driadorwell23:26
driador%u is fine23:26
driador/home/%u/%e.core23:27
driadoror similar23:27
leftyfbdriador: %u is not the user23:30
driadorisn't it uid?23:31
leftyfb%u is the uid23:31
driadorok23:31
leftyfbdriador: so your setting above would translate to something like /home/100-/myscript.core23:31
