Chunkyz | sarnold, don't ask me how or why lol but... had to disable secure boot, enable legacy boot then boot from uefi and it installed. weird. | 00:21 |

Chunkyz | but I'm getting weird screen tearing. :-( | 00:22 |
jhutchins | Chunkyz: Not much surprise there, SecureBoot was developed to prevent people from booting to other media, specifically to prevent people from installing Linux. | 00:22 |
sarnold | Chunkyz: that's a crazy series of things to try :) heh | 00:22 |
oerheks | give more memory to your integrated intel thing | 00:23 |
Chunkyz | oh, nevermind! fixed it. :-) | 00:25 |
Chunkyz | it works now though, that's the main thing :-) looking forward to the next LTS! thanks guys. :-) | 00:26 |
cbreak | ubuntu should have boot loaders that are signed by microsoft, which might be compatible with secure boot | 00:26 |
cbreak | but I've never used them, maybe it doesn't work | 00:27 |
oerheks | secure boot works fine, unless you want nvidia drivers | 00:29 |
sarnold | oh? I thougth we signed those, too | 00:29 |
Chunkyz | I installed everything through the server install, no more lubuntu/xubuntu loading screens! | 00:30 |
Chunkyz | happy customer! thanks for the support. :-) | 00:30 |
toddc | that explans why I have to turn off secureboot on some installs | 00:35 |
sarnold | you install a lot of twelve year old software? | 00:35 |
toddc | I usually try all uefi and secureboot first then turn off secureboot if install fails it also seens to help if I use ubunt startup disk creator on a uefi machine no idea why | 00:38 |

snowhawk | hi | 01:44 |
ke4nhw | I have a question. I am having to consider another distribution for a business environment: my stepson is going to start a small business, an RV park. He will be providing internet (both wifi and wired) to his clients. So I need a rock-solid Linux distro for servers: host and vm. How much is it likely to cost to do this with Ubuntu, and is Ubuntu capable of doing such work (I prefer kvm for | 02:18 |
ke4nhw | virtuals). | 02:18 |
sarnold | heya ke4nhw :) you can use ubuntu lts for free if you wish | 02:18 |
ke4nhw | ubunbu lts? | 02:19 |
ke4nhw | Is that a lightweight version of ubuntu? | 02:19 |
sarnold | ke4nhw: ubuntu is released every six months, and most are supported for nine months. every two years, in april, there's a new "long term support" release that has five years support, with an additional five years of "esm" support available for subscription.. | 02:19 |
sarnold | ke4nhw: the vast majority of people run the LTS releases, since they get the most bug fixing focus, the most third-party application support, and are pretty predictable | 02:20 |
ke4nhw | so it would have a life cycle similar to Fedora, based on subscription? | 02:21 |
ke4nhw | Or does the subscription just extend the life cycle from 5 to 10 years? | 02:21 |
ke4nhw | And what is esm support? | 02:22 |
sarnold | sorry :) I've been stuck in the jargon for so long.. | 02:22 |
ke4nhw | That's okay lol | 02:22 |
sarnold | esm == extended security (and?) maintenance -- it's mostly security support after the free basic support ends, yeah | 02:23 |
sarnold | it's not *exactly* for money, you can get three machines of esm for free, https://ubuntu.com/advantage | 02:23 |
sarnold | but if you're talking a dozen machines, or a dozen VMs, and you want them to still get security support after five years, it'll cost a bit per machine, yeah | 02:24 |
ke4nhw | So I can 5 years for free, then either upgrade or subscribe to continue support for the current version? | 02:24 |
ke4nhw | Probably not a dozen, but I'd expect at least half a dozen... | 02:24 |
sarnold | quite a lot of folks will just upgrade every two years, and either run the newest LTS release, or the "previous LTS" release | 02:24 |
sarnold | but a lot of businesses run on slower cycles than that :) | 02:25 |

ke4nhw | So every two years ubuntu releases a version that is supported, without cost, completely, for 5 years? This means I could, depending on his needs, go 4 years between major upgrades? | 02:39 |
sarnold | ke4nhw: yeah, pretty much | 02:42 |
ke4nhw | 4 years would be an acceptable cycle. So, does the long term support, the two year model, just run behind the 6 month distribution? Is this similar to Fedora/Centos/RedHat layout, where Fedora updates frequently, yet by time it distills down to RedHat it's running slightly behind, but it's much more stable since it's tested by that point? | 02:43 |
sarnold | ke4nhw: I've got a 16.04 VM, two 18.04 machines, three 20.04 machines; the 16.04 is on a free ESM plan, the others are still in standard support. one of these days I'll re-standardize everything, probably a bit after 22.04 is out | 02:44 |
sarnold | ke4nhw: the LTS releases are cut from the exactly the same stream of packages as the "interim" releases -- the development release is constantly importing packages from debian unstable, until some point in the release cycle that process is stopped | 02:45 |
sarnold | ke4nhw: debian unstable still keeps churning along at whatever rate it churns at, in the meantime | 02:45 |
ke4nhw | So Debian is an unstable distribution, or is 'debian unstable' a testbed platform, similar to Fedora? Is Debian the testbed for Ubuntu, or is it a separate distro altogether? | 02:49 |
sarnold | debian is a separate distribution altogether; debian unstable is a bit like a rolling release, every year or two or three they stablize for a bit and focus on interoperability and bug fixes and so on and then make a new stable release, and then go back to uploading new versions of packages to unstable whenever it's convenient | 02:52 |
sarnold | ubuntu builds on the unstable releases, and puts some predictability to the releases -- every six months -- with the intention of trying to make sure the changes along the way make sense together, that upstream application authors get feedback from releases more often, etc | 02:53 |
sarnold | so, ubuntu does some 'real world' testing of packages before those packages are released in a debian stable | 02:53 |
ke4nhw | Okay, so Ubuntu LTS, and Debian, are both end products, similar to RHEL, therefore stable? | 03:00 |
sarnold | that's the idea, yeah | 03:01 |
Guest83 | I was curious if anyone knew of a software to increase the volume past 100% | 04:28 |

adderall | Does anyone know how to get around system hangs at boot caused by snap loading too slow? | 04:59 |
adderall | Apparently it's a bug but there has to be some way to circumvent or patch it. | 04:59 |
KBar | adderall: i dont think theres anything other than reducing the number of snaps? | 05:00 |
ke4nhw | Literally the most dangerous command in Linux, by reversing the command and switch | 05:00 |
adderall | ke4nhw: are you talkin' to me or is that a reference to something else before I logged in? | 05:02 |
ke4nhw | before you logged in, sorry | 05:03 |
adderall | Yeah, I can even find the process causing it to hang | 05:03 |
adderall | ... Looks like it's the full snap directory doing this | 05:04 |
adderall | Could just disable snap at boot | 05:04 |
ke4nhw | I don't know enough about ubuntu to even hazard a guess. | 05:04 |
adderall | Well, the snap issue isn't just an Ubuntu thing. You can install snap on any linux | 05:06 |
adderall | It just makes it easier to install certain packages and I find that with snap, the icons and gui features are nicer. But it does slow things down considerably | 05:07 |
ke4nhw | Holy mother of God, I am seeing things in the Ubuntu pricing list in the $200,000/yr price range???? Um, yeah, ubuntu might just be too rich for my blood | 05:07 |
ke4nhw | I haven't heard of it, and doesn't sound like I want to try it lol | 05:08 |
KBar | ? Ubuntu is 100% free. | 05:08 |
ke4nhw | I was looking at things under the enterprise/business pages | 05:08 |
adderall | I'm not even sure what that means: Ubuntu is not free ... it's open source and free to install. This gets into the political arguments of what free software is, relating to GNU and Richard Stallman | 05:09 |
adderall | I'm going to say it's free as in it doesn't cost $120, as compared to Windows | 05:09 |
KBar | adderall: regardless of what he thinks, it's absolutely free in both meanings | 05:09 |
adderall | I agree with KBar | 05:09 |
KBar | you can get it for exactly 0 cents and do whatever you want with it | 05:09 |
adderall | It's free enough. You don't have to pay for it. It used to come with Amazon on the desktop but Canonical quit doing that. | 05:10 |
ke4nhw | And one reason I am considering ubuntu is for a busisness. Not mine, my stepson, it'll be a small business, but I don't need him getting hit with a "you're using this in a place that makes money so it violates the license agreement". Literally the same thing I nearly walked into before now | 05:10 |
KBar | get rid of most the packages, install something else, etc. | 05:10 |
adderall | What country are you in, ke4nhw? Just curious as it's very rare for business owners to use Linux in the U.S. | 05:10 |
adderall | I'm interested in the idea of that! Very cool | 05:10 |
adderall | It's mostly just used for servers here | 05:10 |
ke4nhw | My idea of free is "can I use this at home, in a small business, or whatever, free of charge, without having a massive lawsuit. I'm here in the US, and this is for servers. | 05:11 |
KBar | adderall: i heard ts pretty popular in SEA for kiosks? | 05:11 |
adderall | Yep, haha, it's free | 05:11 |
adderall | I'm sure it's used for cash registers in the U.S. | 05:11 |
ke4nhw | He'll be using Windows on his desk of course, but backend stuff will be on Linux servers. | 05:11 |
adderall | I noticed at Target that they were running Linux on the registers. I got super excited. My wife and father-in-law didn't care though, LOL | 05:11 |
KBar | this is getting off-topic, lets maybe continue this on #ubuntu-discuss? | 05:12 |
adderall | Yeah, OK ... | 05:12 |
adderall | I can move to that chat. I'm not auto-joined to it, but I'm OK with that | 05:12 |
ke4nhw | I'll be there in about 10 minutes, I'm getting pummeled by bad weather, the radar is only just starting to settle down, so I want to get a better look at what I'm getting before I talk to the folks at national weather service | 05:14 |
ke4nhw | Okay, think I'm in the clear | 05:16 |
ke4nhw | they dropped the warnings | 05:17 |
ke4nhw | But no my concern was whether ubuntu can be used free in a business environment, something the website isn't entirely clear about. when I do look under the enterprise side of the website, I see links to pricing, and some of those numbers, especially under devices, climb way past my happy place. I'll keep digging though. | 05:19 |

squid_game | How can I reset all the network settings including virtual interface definitions such as vlan etc? I tried systemctl stop network-manager and networking services but it didn't help | 07:19 |
KBar | squid_game: `apt purge` `apt install`? | 07:20 |
squid_game | KBar, do you mean to reinstall networking service? | 07:22 |
KBar | squid_game: depends on what exactly you changed | 07:23 |
squid_game | it's not specific to my laptop. I tried in different laptops, I get the same issue. | 07:23 |
squid_game | KBar, is there another method that I can restart/reset all the networking interfaces and settings, as fresh as restarting the laptop? | 07:24 |
KBar | squid_game: `iptables -F`? | 07:27 |
squid_game | KBar, I tried as well, but didn't help. AFAIK, it is to refresh the ip rules, doesn't effect the interfaces | 07:28 |
KBar | squid_game: then just `systemctl restart` | 07:29 |
squid_game | KBar, systemctl restart "what service"? It's also my question :) | 07:31 |
KBar | squid_game: depending on what you have. it's network-manager by default | 07:31 |
KBar | squid_game: so it would be NetworkManager.service | 07:32 |
KBar | i dont know what your computer has | 07:32 |
KBar | if its a server or a desktop | 07:32 |
squid_game | I have ubuntu 18.04 desktop | 07:32 |
squid_game | I tried all the network* services. I have 3 of them, it didn't help. | 07:33 |
KBar | squid_game: try the one starting with a capital N | 07:33 |
squid_game | do you know another method or another service that might work? | 07:33 |
KBar | NetworkManager.service | 07:33 |
squid_game | I don't have it. I only have networkd-dispatcher.service network-manager.service network-pre.target networking.service network-online.target network.target | 07:34 |
squid_game | I tried all the *.services | 07:34 |
KBar | Yeah, you probably did something wrong on your system then. It should be there. | 07:34 |
KBar | squid_game: can you verify that? `systemctl list-units --all` and then search for 'NetworkManager.service' | 07:36 |
squid_game | KBar, I am using a work latop. AFAIK, we use a modified ubuntu by Canonical. Perhaps they removed some of the services. Yes, I don't have NetworkManager.service | 07:37 |
KBar | squid_game: how about systemd-networkd.service? | 07:38 |
squid_game | if I stop the *.services, it disables the connectivity. But the interfaces, IP addresses etc are still there | 07:38 |
squid_game | I have systemd-networkd.service | 07:39 |
squid_game | I will try it and will probably be disconnected | 07:39 |
squid_game | thanks for the help | 07:39 |

squid_game | armadefuego, no. Is there any chance you might have a suggestion? | 07:41 |
armadefuego | well i am trying to follw, but i may have gotten on the wrong foot. | 07:41 |
squid_game | armadefuego, what I want to have is to refresh all the network settings, interfaces etc. | 07:41 |
armadefuego | are you just trying to restart all the connections, like on reboot, or not have the connections you _currently_ have | 07:42 |
armadefuego | ( which would reconnect on reboot... if you didn't remove them | 07:43 |
squid_game | armadefuego. I'd appreciate any suggestion :) What I'm trying to refresh all the network settings. As an example, I time to run scripts that configures network interfaces, such as creating vlans and assigns ip addresses etc. I'd like to reset everything so that I get a fresh network settings so that I'd not need to restart my laptop to reset the configurations | 07:44 |
squid_game | yes, I'd like to restart the network interface&settings similar to what a reboot would do | 07:45 |
armadefuego | but you also _expect_ to set them up again? | 07:46 |
squid_game | no | 07:54 |
squid_game | I want a fresh start | 07:54 |
armadefuego | ok. The GUI has buttons to shut them off. or the commandline has nmcli... IIRC | 07:55 |
armadefuego | either could shut down a connection, for temp purposes. then click and it reconnects | 07:56 |
squid_game | armadefuego, do you know if I can do it on the terminal? Then I'd use it part of a bash script | 07:58 |
armadefuego | nmcli connection show | 07:58 |
armadefuego | nmcli is justone method to shutdown a connectio, and restart. | 08:00 |
squid_game | interesting. I didn't know it. I am going to investigate it | 08:01 |
armadefuego | its got a decent man page. | 08:02 |
armadefuego | and the _ip_ command can be usefull here. | 08:02 |

Ravage | plon: do you have a ubuntu support question? | 13:24 |
plon | is there a method to enable the cpu faster | 13:25 |
Ravage | not within Ubuntu. google overclocking | 13:26 |
Aethereal | wseadmin|afk-ish I also tried a reconfigure of gdm3 too, still same result. If I try a startx from shell it just throw out some lines about starting up, then exit without errors, like it just finished. | 13:26 |
plon | google overclocking | 13:26 |
Maik | plon: ubuntu works fine on a Pi 4 with 4 or 8 GB RAM without overclocking | 13:32 |
Aethereal | wseadmin|afk-ish I think it all started when I tried to install waydroid following these instructions: https://docs.waydro.id/usage/install-on-desktops Since it was not working I then removed it and the repo. I thought the uninstall could have removed too much so I tried, as told before, to do a reinstall of X and desktop packages, but nothing | 13:32 |
Aethereal | works. Instead of a login screen I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor, and need to ALT-F2 to get a shell | 13:32 |
ioria | Aethereal, how did you reinstall X and -desktop pkgs ? | 13:33 |
Aethereal | ioria I used sudo apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg and sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-desktop if I recall correctly (I'm after this issue since a month now) | 13:37 |
ioria | !ingo gnome-desktop | 13:38 |
ioria | !info gnome-desktop | 13:38 |
ubottu | Package gnome-desktop does not exist in impish | 13:38 |
ioria | Aethereal, what release ? 20.04 ? | 13:38 |
Aethereal | ioria The machine is currently 20.04, but it started as a 16.04->18.04->20.04 | 13:40 |
BluesKaj | 'Morning folks | 13:40 |
ioria | Aethereal, so it's Ubuntu , not Kubuntu or another flavor ? | 13:41 |
Aethereal | ioria Yes, vanilla Ubuntu | 13:41 |
Maik | shouldn't gnome-desktop be ubuntu-desktop when reinstalling? | 13:42 |
ioria | Aethereal, sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop^ ( <-- note the caret ^) | 13:42 |
Aethereal | ioria 1306 reinstalls, 0 deletions and 0 new... it will take a bit though, my connection isn't so fast and it's downloading everything as it were new | 13:46 |
ioria | i see | 13:46 |
Aethereal | ioria what's the caret meaning? I've never seen it | 13:48 |
ioria | Aethereal, it's a set of packages | 13:49 |
Aethereal | ioria I see, like @name in Gentoo emerge | 13:51 |
ioria | Aethereal, yeah, probably | 13:52 |
ioria | Aethereal, i suggest anyhow to purge/remove that waydoid | 13:52 |
Aethereal | ioria Yes, I already did that. I have this issue since I removed it... | 13:53 |
ioria | ok | 13:54 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Aethereal: If you /home is in its own logical partition, then you can just reinstall your boot partition. | 13:55 |
Aethereal | wseadmin|afk-ish Unfortunately it's a whole partition. It's also fully encrypted (I enter a key to unlock the disk at boot. Ironically, at that point the machine is in graphic mode) | 13:58 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | So, the answer to my question might be: " ssh -X <IP-Address> " then " sudo gparted /dev/sda " followed by " sudo grub-install /dev/sda1 " | 13:59 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Aethereal:Use " scp " to backup important stuff to another device. | 14:00 |
chilversc | Ravage: thanks | 14:01 |
chilversc | any plans to backport kernel 5.16 to 20.04? | 14:02 |
ThinkT510 | !hwe | 14:04 |
ubottu | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 14:04 |
chilversc | ThinkT510: I was looking at that page but couldn't tell what the final supported kernel version will be for 20.04, or what the release schedule is | 14:06 |
ThinkT510 | I'm not sure of 22.04's kernel version | 14:07 |
ThinkT510 | if you really need 5.16 then you could try mainline | 14:07 |
ThinkT510 | !mainline | 14:07 |
ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 14:07 |
chilversc | at the moment I'm running 20.04, but getting a kernel panic and wanted to see if it was fixed in a newer kernel such as 5.16 | 14:07 |
chilversc | is mainline separate to the HWE builds? | 14:08 |
ogra | the mainline PPA kernels are not for production use and miss a lot of features | 14:08 |
ThinkT510 | mainline is mostly for testing | 14:08 |
ogra | yep | 14:08 |
Aethereal | wseadmin|afk-ish It's a bit complicated since I might have some data/caches outside /home but indeed an option. It's a last-resort, and I would like to try fixing it first. I might even try to see if an upgrade to 22.04 (when it's available) would work before that. Also, the desktop reinstall ioria suggested is still at 47%, I still have hopes... | 14:08 |
ogra | to verify bugfixes if some kernel team member asks you to ... | 14:09 |
trafficjam | how much "graphics memory" does this cpu have? i7-1065G7 | 14:10 |
trafficjam | using wine and an installer is asking for this | 14:11 |
chilversc | yup, that's why I was more interested in the hwe builds than mainline | 14:11 |
chilversc | I was just wondering what the plan was for 20.04 as currently the latest kernel is 2.13 | 14:12 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Isn't it 5.15 now? | 14:13 |
chilversc | not according to https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/linux-tools-generic-hwe-20.04 unless I'm reading it wrong? | 14:13 |
Ravage | It's 5.13. it will probably get 5.15 a few weeks/months after the 22.04 release | 14:13 |
Ravage | Not sure what the usual timeline is. 5.13 came pretty fast after 21.10 | 14:14 |
chilversc | ah well, maybe I just need to try replacing mdadm with zfs | 14:16 |
alkisg | I think it comes out after 22.04.1, not after 22.04. So, in August. | 14:18 |
chilversc | yup, that's rather too long to wait, though not even sure if it will fix the issue | 14:18 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | chilversc: Don't use ZFS if you game. Steam has been a complete ball ache for some reason. I think the scrub tool isn't used to the weird format of game packages. | 14:18 |
Ravage | My steam Library runs completely from ZFS. No problems at all | 14:19 |
chilversc | this file system is only used to store cachefilesd | 14:19 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | You don't have to Verify games after it performs a scrub? | 14:19 |
trafficjam | is it possible to use windows 10/11 for Wine? | 14:19 |
chilversc | some combination of access patterns between cachefilesd, and mdadm seems to be causing a kernel panic | 14:20 |
Ravage | I think sometimes it checks some files. But never a complete verify | 14:20 |
Ravage | Nothing that really bothers me | 14:20 |
Ravage | trafficjam: that question does not make a lot of sense | 14:21 |
Ravage | And that's being polite about it :P | 14:21 |
trafficjam | Ravage: im trying to run a program with Wine, and it told me that windowx xp and windows 32-bit are no longer supported | 14:22 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | trafficjam: Try winecfg and see your options there. | 14:23 |
Ravage | I'm pretty sure there is a maintained 32 bit version of wine | 14:23 |
trafficjam | wseadmin|afk-ish: ah perfect, thanks man | 14:23 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | You might also want to use " WINEPREFIX=/location/of/install/ winecfg " | 14:24 |
Ravage | Also try https://www.winehq.org/irc | 14:25 |
leftyfb | trafficjam: you want #winehq | 14:28 |
Aethereal | ioria The reinstall finished, but nothing has changed | 14:28 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | It didn't work. "install-grub" returned no errors, still can't boot without the USB plugged in. Accidental security key but annoying. | 14:40 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Especially since this happened before years ago and I can't remember nor find my documentation on how to solve it. | 14:40 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: do you want to sum up the problem you're trying to solve again? I had a quick glance on the log but could not exactly understand which problem you're trying to solve. | 14:42 |
ioria | Aethereal, switch to tty and sudo systemctl restart gdm | 14:44 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Hi tomreyn . I installed Ubuntu, all appeared to be fine, except it installed the boot information for the hard drive over the boot partitions of the USB stick. | 14:44 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Now I am trying to get it to boot from partition(s) sda1 and sda2. | 14:45 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: hmm, that's not a problem i've run into before. which ubuntu release + ISO are you installing, and in bios or uefi mode? | 14:45 |
frost-core | hello! | 14:46 |
frost-core | so im trying to make a custom bash prompt | 14:46 |
frost-core | but i need colours | 14:46 |
frost-core | how do i input them in? | 14:46 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso (because FreeRDP v2 doesn't work well with NTLM auth Windows servers). | 14:47 |
leftyfb | frost-core: what have you found online so far and what problems are you having with it? | 14:47 |
frost-core | leftyfb : i found not understandable guides | 14:48 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | How do I check bios / EFI mode via CLI? The machine is in use, I have SSH only atm. | 14:48 |
frost-core | all of them are complicated | 14:48 |
Aethereal | ioria sudo systemctl restart gdm just gives me back the blank screen with blinking underscore | 14:48 |
leftyfb | frost-core: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html | 14:48 |
Ravage | wseadmin|afk-ish: test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios | 14:49 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Aethereal: Try install sddm instead of gdm? | 14:49 |
leftyfb | frost-core: are you trying to create your own distro? | 14:49 |
frost-core | leftyfb : no im trying this on my ubuntu mate | 14:49 |
frost-core | i already made my distro | 14:49 |
ioria | Aethereal, odd : dpkg -l | grep gdm | nc termbin.com 9999 (and paste the url here pleae) | 14:49 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Thanks Ravage it is "efi" | 14:50 |
leftyfb | frost-core: if you need more in-depth help with bash, then you might try #bash | 14:51 |
Aethereal | ioria https://termbin.com/39rk | 14:52 |
ioria | Aethereal, ls /usr/share/xsessions/ | nc termbin.com 9999 | 14:53 |
frost-core | thanks lefty! it worked! | 14:55 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg" --> " Sourcing file '/etc/default/grub' /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: cannot create /sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: Directory nonexistent " | 14:55 |
frost-core | leftyfb : also do you know any guides to creating plymouth themes? | 14:56 |
leftyfb | frost-core: no | 14:56 |
Aethereal | ioria https://termbin.com/6qjh (did a ls -l so you can see the gnome.desktop link) | 14:56 |
frost-core | leftyfb : is there an irc channel for plymouth? | 14:56 |
ioria | Aethereal, cd /usr/share/xsessions/ | 14:57 |
Persuader | Hi all.I'm using Ubuntu20 LTS, but the system keeps showing package installation errors and livepatch is not working.How can I solve this problem? | 14:57 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | I don't know but you might try searching " <criteria> site:omgubuntu.co.uk " they have a lot of theme stuff on there frost-core | 14:58 |
ioria | Aethereal, and sudo mv gnome.desktop gnome.desktop.back | 14:58 |
ioria | Aethereal, also sudo mv gnome-xorg.desktop gnome-xorg.desktop.back | 14:58 |
frost-core | wseadmin|afk-ish : thanks! | 14:58 |
Aethereal | ioria Ok. | 15:02 |
ioria | Aethereal, check if you have gnome-session-wayland installed ( dpkg -l | grep gnome-session-wayland) | 15:02 |
Aethereal | ioria seems not, it get no result | 15:03 |
ioria | Aethereal, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 | 15:04 |
Aethereal | ioria done. Is the gnome-session-wayland a required package? Should I install it? (in the etc/gdm3/custom.conf there's a line WaylandEnable=false) | 15:09 |
ioria | Aethereal, nope, not required and that line should be comneted with an hash (#) | 15:09 |
ioria | *commented | 15:10 |
ioria | Aethereal, is it ? | 15:11 |
frost-core | does anybody know how to get the plymouth-set-default-theme in ubuntu? | 15:11 |
Aethereal | ioria it's not at the moment, maybe due to some of the internet articles I followed trying to fix it in the last weeks. I have commented it now, but still the same result restarting gdm | 15:12 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Depends on your desktop environment frost-core | 15:12 |
frost-core | wseadmin|afk-ish : mate? | 15:12 |
ioria | Aethereal, ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions | nc termbin.com 9999 | 15:13 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Not familiar with it sorry, try search for, "Change theme Mate" perhaps? | 15:13 |
Aethereal | ioria https://termbin.com/cnk0 | 15:14 |
ioria | Aethereal, cd /usr/share/wayland-sessions and sudo mv gnome.desktop gnome.desktop.back | 15:15 |
Aethereal | ioria done, no changes. | 15:17 |
ioria | Aethereal, sudo apt autopurge , what gives ? | 15:18 |
Aethereal | ioria 0 to remove. I purged several times after removing waydroid | 15:19 |
ioria | Aethereal, please, paste : cat /etc/gdm3/custom.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 15:20 |
Aethereal | ioria https://termbin.com/1b8r | 15:21 |
ioria | Aethereal, is lightdm installed ? dpkg -l | grep lightdm | 15:24 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg " --> " sudo grub-install /dev/sda1 " --> "Installation finished. No error reported." | 15:24 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Am I missing boot flags on that partition perhaps? How do I set them? | 15:25 |
Aethereal | ioria I get 4 entries, so I suppose it is | 15:25 |
ioria | Aethereal, dpkg -l | grep mutter-common | nc termbin.com 9999 | 15:26 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: "How do I check bios / EFI mode via CLI?" -> echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS | 15:27 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | The answer was "efi" tomreyn | 15:28 |

ioria | Aethereal, focal 20.04 version is 3.36.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 | 15:30 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | As far as I know, all partitions were mounted. It boots as though from the hard drive but uses the USB for the boot config. tomreyn | 15:30 |
frost-core | Chunkyz : what de then?, i can tell you the about page of it | 15:30 |
frost-core | or use inxi in terminal | 15:31 |
ioria | Aethereal, you have 3.38.4-1 and it's not an ubuntu package | 15:31 |
Aethereal | ioria That's strange, if I try to remove it again, it says it's not installed anymore. Maybe some dependencies weren't removed? Even with Purge? | 15:31 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: what happened after install, after you removed the installer usb stick, and tried to boot? | 15:31 |
Chunkyz | frost-core: i3-wm. inxi works though. :-) | 15:31 |
ioria | Aethereal, sure; you need to purge all the external pkgs that come with waydroid | 15:32 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | About to try again tomreyn they are going on a smoke break. | 15:32 |
ioria | Aethereal, apt-forktracer | nc termbin.com 9999 | 15:33 |
ioria | Aethereal, you probably need to install apt-forktracer | 15:33 |
MaxPower9 | /join #kali-linux | 15:38 |
MaxPower9 | crap sorry | 15:38 |
Aethereal | ioria Yes, done. https://termbin.com/pndm | 15:40 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | Zomg MaxPower9 is a haxxor! :o ( tomreyn same thing, when the USB is removed, I only get a blanks screen with a cursor in the top left. Boot menu has EFI: ubuntu OR Legacy: Hard Drive (neither work without the USB in)). | 15:40 |
ioria | Aethereal, honestly, it's not good that you have all those unsupported pkgs.... | 15:41 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: here's how you repair grub: https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall#Using_A_Live_CD.2FUSB_To_Fix_Your_Current_System | 15:41 |
ioria | Aethereal, but is the .list waydroid source still enabled ? ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 15:42 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: your partitions can be different ones, of course, check with lsblk | 15:42 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: and the "cryptsetup" command is only needed if you have opted for full disk encryption | 15:43 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: this is a bit more compact: https://askubuntu.com/a/831241 | 15:44 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | tomreyn: Thank you will try it. | 15:45 |
wseadmin|afk-ish | How did you get that short answer URL? | 15:46 |
MaxPower9 | wseadmin|afk-ish you got me | 15:46 |
tomreyn | wseadmin|afk-ish: using the "share" option | 15:46 |
Aethereal | ioria I suspect most packages come from the 16.04->18.04->20.04 upgrade path, except a couple I probably installed manually for some programs (like coapp or codecs). In the sources.list.d I only have external repo for "cool-retro-term" and bitcoin (that I am not using anymore). I removed the repo for waydroid as the first thing after uninstalling | 15:47 |
Aethereal | it. I did an uninstall, removed repo, apt update, apt upgrade and apt purge sequence. And then got the blank screen issue | 15:47 |

ubottu | linux-generic (5.4.0.100.104, focal): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Built by linux-meta. Size 2 kB / 19 kB. (Only available for amd64, armhf, arm64, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x.) | 16:42 |
ioria | Aethereal, dpkg -l | grep linux-generic | 16:43 |
Aethereal | Nothing | 16:44 |
ioria | Aethereal, sudo apt install --reinstall linux-generic | 16:44 |
wse|not-Interpol | tomreyn: I think the problem is that it is not booting from the USB. It is booting from the hard drive using the config on the USB. The guides and "boot-repair" decline to work. | 16:45 |
Aethereal | Actually, it say linux-generic is a new package not previously selected | 16:46 |
Aethereal | But ti's installing it | 16:46 |
ioria | Aethereal, when it's done, again : sudo apt full-upgrade | 16:47 |
Aethereal | ioria 0 to upgrade | 16:50 |
ioria | Aethereal, ok, reboot | 16:51 |
Aethereal | ioria ALL OK | 16:55 |
ioria | Aethereal, well done | 16:56 |
Aethereal | ioria It boots in the graphical login manager, and I get a gnome session. All seems restored | 16:56 |
ioria | Aethereal, ok | 16:56 |
Aethereal | Many thanks ioria wse|not-Interpol ogra and all | 16:57 |
ioria | Aethereal, we'r welcm | 16:57 |

frost-core | hello, so why is my zip file binary saying January 1st 1980? | 16:58 |
leftyfb | frost-core: you're going to have to give more info than that. Regardless, I am 99% sure this is not an ubuntu issue | 16:59 |
frost-core | leftyfb : i download the powder toy, and then open the zip with engrampa, for some reason it says 1980 on the executable, and i am questioning it | 17:00 |
leftyfb | frost-core: ok, contact "powder toy" for support for that completely non-critical issue | 17:01 |
jhutchins | frost-core: That's the default date for a null record. | 17:03 |
novacyclist | frost-core: 1/1/1980 is the FAT32 0 epoch, I've seen it in macos when copying files over the dates are converted incorrectly | 17:04 |
jhutchins | frost-core: It strongly suggests that there was an error in the creation of the archive, or possibly during it's download. | 17:05 |
frost-core | jhutchins : but when extracting, game runs fine =# | 17:05 |
leftyfb | frost-core: then there is no issue | 17:06 |
frost-core | i mean its just a question | 17:07 |
Maik | frost-core: but not even ubuntu related | 17:09 |
frost-core | one thing is that how do i install cedarview? like this fedora guy did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQLmRMPVa5g | 17:10 |
Maik | frost-core: also offtopic i guess | 17:10 |
leftyfb | frost-core: cedarview are intel drivers. Why do you think you need that? | 17:12 |
frost-core | leftyfb : i really need that driver, but i have to use kernel 3.2 | 17:12 |
frost-core | which is sad :( | 17:12 |
leftyfb | what? | 17:12 |
frost-core | leftyfb : i need kernel 3.2 to run that driver | 17:13 |
leftyfb | frost-core: ( uname -a ; cat /etc/os-release ) | nc termbin.com 9999 | 17:13 |
leftyfb | frost-core: why do you think you need that driver? | 17:13 |
frost-core | leftyfb : its a gpu driver | 17:13 |
leftyfb | frost-core: why do you think you need that driver? | 17:13 |
frost-core | its because some games lag out hard | 17:14 |
frost-core | https://termbin.com/12w2 | 17:14 |
leftyfb | frost-core: lspci |grep VGA | nc termbin.com 9999 | 17:15 |

frost-core | but it runs llvmpipe | 17:16 |
jair | Hello all, just a quick question, if I am using a couple of laptops > ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th and Latitude E6510 0001 and also Latitude E6540 01 would this be the must recommended kernel on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS 5.13.0-28-generic ? | 17:16 |
=== vit is now known as Guest6792 | ||
=== Guest6792 is now known as freeworld | ||
jair | The reason I ask is because by default the kernel all the three systems uses are the generic one, but I think I notice that there is a version Kernel: 5.13.0-30-generic available, and if I want to have the latest up to date support for the different laptops wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade to that? | 17:17 |
Maik | frost-core: games lag hard because you have a low spec machine with only 2GB RAM i believe? | 17:17 |
leftyfb | ^ | 17:18 |
frost-core | Maik : i used to run windows with games, good performance cause it used opengl, linux, TERRIBLE JUNK PERFORMANCE! | 17:18 |
frost-core | if only intel could make drivers for the latest kernel | 17:18 |
Maik | frost-core: get a new machine | 17:19 |
leftyfb | frost-core: an Atom processor with 2G of memory and Intel graphics is not a gaming platform | 17:19 |
Maik | exactly | 17:19 |
frost-core | leftyfb : but it used to run supertux fast i guess, and supertuxkart | 17:19 |
Maik | frost-core: again, you have a low spec machine, don't expect it to run well with any OS and what you try to do. deal with it | 17:22 |
jhutchins | If the same hardware is fast under one OS and slow under a different OS, it is not the hardware that makes the difference. | 17:26 |
jhutchins | jair: Is there any hardware on either laptop that does not seem to be fully supported? | 17:26 |
jair | jhutchins, I noticed that with the `20.04.3 LTS 5.13.0-24-generic` my third monitor kept going offline (connected via HDMI) but with kernel `20.04.3 LTS 5.13.0-28-generic` the issue improved | 17:29 |
jair | I mean the third monitor goes offline less often | 17:29 |
chilversc | is there a nice, simple way in a script to test if a ZFS pool exists? I got close with "zpool list -Ho health $pool" but if the pool doesn't exist it outputs an error message, and I wanted to avoid parsing error messages | 17:29 |
jair | jhutchins but I am not sure if it was the kernel version | 17:30 |
chilversc | I'm just after a simple true/false to test if a specific pool exists | 17:30 |
frost-core | i may sell my nb and get an older, linux supported pc probably | 17:30 |
=== GiverOfDomains is now known as Guest8016 | ||
jair | I do notice that there is now a version `20.04.3 LTS 5.13.0-30-generic` so I wanted to know if there will be improvements on it, I tried to find the Ubuntu kernel release notes... | 17:31 |
jair | jhutchinsand interesting this is that I see the kernel available for installation on two systems but in this laptop it is not available hummm > `Latitude E6540 01` | 17:33 |
jair | same installation media I used for all three systems | 17:33 |
VadimP | After upgrading to 21.10, I have no working sound. How can I fix this? | 17:34 |
oerheks | VadimP, pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload # might fix it, setting to defaults | 17:37 |
VadimP | It said "E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process" but still no sound | 17:38 |
Ravage | And if you just type pulseaudio? | 17:40 |
Ravage | Does it start or fail to start? | 17:41 |
jhutchins | jair: Is that kernel already installed? Kernel release notes may be available "upstream" at kernel.org. | 17:41 |
jhutchins | jair: It's probably a good idea to read them, several recent kernels have had "reversion" issues with support for previously working hardware. | 17:42 |
VadimP | I deleted .pulse and .config/pulse, ran 'pulseaudio --start' and that exited without error, but still no sound. 'pulseaaudio' on its own says daemon already running | 17:42 |
VadimP | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FMxsdC9sXF/ | 17:43 |
jair | jhutchins it is installed in the other two systems but in this one for some reason it is not available when checking with synaptic `Latitude E6540 01` I will check the kernel.org details as Ubuntu/Canonical uses the same | 17:43 |
oerheks | VadimP, and into sound settings, anything unusual? | 17:44 |
Ravage | VadimP: try "sudo apt install pavucontrol" and then "pavucontrol" | 17:44 |
oerheks | sound hdmi>your card | 17:44 |
Ravage | see if it shows any devices | 17:44 |
oerheks | alsamixer could do the same | 17:44 |
VadimP | there is nothing odd. I have a video playing and the sound bar is jumping around. No sound is coming out, neither from my monitor nor the headset I have plugged in - https://streamable.com/wtz2yr | 17:46 |
VadimP | pavucontrol is too complicated to make sense of but I see nothing wrong - https://imgur.com/a/QmaY64b | 17:47 |
VadimP | What else can I try? Downgrading is not an option as this was a forced upgrade | 17:49 |
Ravage | check "output devices" | 17:50 |
Ravage | maybe its muted there. and how is your headset connected? does it show up in output devices? | 17:50 |
VadimP | it shows sound be playing there: https://imgur.com/a/IBBIqSM | 17:51 |
oerheks | change digital out to analog? | 17:52 |
Ravage | yep. also HDMI looks good. there should be sound over HDMI when you select it as the output device of an application | 17:54 |
oerheks | hdmi, oke, but not digital | 17:58 |

lpapp | hi, a program is looking for https://bpa.st/7HZQ libxcb-xinput.so.0 in various locations. What ships this, if any, on Ubuntu 16.04? | 18:16 |
lpapp | Looks like libxcb-xinput0 is only available from 18.04. What was there before? | 18:16 |
knightSoul | My Ship | 18:17 |
oerheks | lpapp, yes, only on 18.04, and 16.04 is EOL, dead jim | 18:18 |
oerheks | so, good luck with that vulnerable old version | 18:19 |

mncheck | I want to do-release-upgrade on a bionic but after apt upgrade there is "1 not installed" which --upgradable says is docker-ce I have from "https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic/stable amd64 Packages", however, if I upgrade that, dpkg fails to configure, journalctl says SIGSEGV on the service | 19:09 |
mncheck | the previous version works fine, which i downgraded to. how do you work around this? | 19:10 |
jhutchins | mncheck: Are you using docker? | 19:19 |
mncheck | jhutchins, yes | 19:19 |
jhutchins | mncheck: Does the new version have any essential features you need to use? | 19:19 |
mncheck | I have 82 images | 19:19 |
mncheck | jhutchins, I don't care about the docker version, just want to go from bionic to focal | 19:20 |
mncheck | jhutchins, so, no | 19:20 |
jhutchins | Sounds like the correct response is to go get yourself a refreshing beverage and find something productive to work on. | 19:21 |
jhutchins | Revisit the upgrade next week. | 19:21 |
mncheck | what is the correct way to select the "test" suite with apt-get? docker I've added a bionic/test line with the docker sources.list | 19:30 |
=== tscott_ is now known as tscott | ||
mncheck | they have "edge" "nightly" "stable" and "test" and I'm currently on stable | 19:35 |
xbox | hjhk | 19:42 |
mncheck | oh it's not a suite but a component | 19:47 |
mncheck | I have "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable test nightly", trying "apt-get it nightly instasll docker-ce" and getting "'nightly' is invalid for APT::Default-Release", not sure what did I do wrong | 19:57 |
oerheks | mncheck, change to focal ? anyway, i would remove docker and the repo, until after upgrade and add it again | 19:59 |
mncheck | oerheks, I'm still on bionic | 19:59 |
oerheks | i think it should be disabled anyway during upgrade | 19:59 |
mncheck | oerheks, I faintly remember once removing docker which deleted all my images in the past, which I don't want | 19:59 |
oerheks | no it should not, not without --purge. and if you have no backup, those images are unimportant | 20:00 |
jhutchins | mncheck: Hopefully you have since instated a policy of backing up your images to something external to the development sysem. | 20:02 |
jhutchins | system. | 20:02 |
oerheks | your /home/ folder would do.. | 20:02 |
mncheck | I don't understand why -t nightly is not selecting anything | 20:03 |
mncheck | well leaving only nightly avoids the problem by chance | 20:21 |
g3poandlsl | Does anyone remember the name of the project that was developing a way to centrally manage GNOME settings in a way like Windows does group policy? IIRC, it was Flight-something | 20:22 |
forgotmynick | i have php 7.4 installed but when trying to apt-get install php-sqlite3, it keeps trying to install php8 stuff. how do i stop this? --no-install-recommends does not do anything | 20:28 |

coz_ | good day all | 21:07 |
adderall | I think I finally got my Ubuntu to stop freezing and to load up at a decent speed after disabling fsck at start-up. I have to ask myself when I spend days modifying scripts to get Linux to run right if it's really worth it all? | 21:09 |
adderall | But if I go back to Windows, eventually, I'll miss it. | 21:09 |
coz_ | adderall, it's definitly worth it | 21:10 |
adderall | You tell me how it's worth it, boss? | 21:10 |
adderall | I mostly use it because I like the fact that I can make it do whatever I want and I don't have to worry about malware so much. | 21:10 |
coz_ | adderall, nlike windows, you learn more about the system, and configuring it | 21:10 |
adderall | This is true. | 21:10 |
adderall | You learn about computer science. | 21:10 |
adderall | It would be the best if my interviewers didn't keep asking me PowerShell and Windows questions though. | 21:11 |
adderall | Have you ever run rkhunter, coz_? | 21:11 |
coz_ | adderall, i have ot | 21:11 |
coz_ | not | 21:11 |
adderall | Try it. It's interesting. I've found that the Linux anti-malware or anti-rootkit programs are a lot more thorough than Windows stuff. It will flag a lot of stuff that consists of false positives for most people but you'll learn about what something should look for auditing in a production environment. | 21:12 |
mncheck | update not looking very smooth | 21:13 |
adderall | Yeah, see, mncheck is going through the rounds like I did | 21:13 |
adderall | If he's got tenacity, he won't reinstall | 21:13 |
adderall | Might wanna change your kernel mncheck ... if all else fails | 21:13 |

sarnold | mncheck: sometimes the release notes have notes on specific packages, yeah | 21:24 |
mncheck | sarnold, my smb.conf from bionic uses an idmap backend that doesn't seem to be available in focal | 21:32 |
=== adderall is now known as rm-rf | ||
sarnold | mncheck: hrm :( bummer, I don't see anything like that on the focal release notes. there's an sssd module for idmap, I wonder if that's the expected replacement | 21:36 |
mncheck | sarnold, I don't know if I change the idmap backend wouldn't the established ids be messed up | 21:37 |
sarnold | mncheck: see if this helps? https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-sssd | 21:37 |
mncheck | sarnold, I use that for new configurations but I don't think it says anything about idmap | 21:37 |

Mathisen | run it with sudo | 22:10 |
rm-rf | Yes, what he said | 22:11 |
rm-rf | or, even better: do < sudo -i > so you stay in root during all of this | 22:11 |
rm-rf | Umm, <sudo -s> is even better. Sudo -s will go to root but under the user so not full root. | 22:12 |
Mathisen | side note: dont run things as root you dont understand what does. | 22:12 |
rm-rf | *root oft he user | 22:12 |
Mitacho | Also does not allow. Neither using sudo nor using sudo -i | 22:12 |
Mathisen | dont copy paste things you dont understand | 22:12 |
rm-rf | I'm agreeing with everything Mathisen is saying so far | 22:12 |
rm-rf | But, if you break it, since it's Linux ... you can almost always fix it | 22:12 |
rm-rf | Unless you start messing around with something like the GRUB or fstab | 22:12 |

rm-rf | I've run the scripts that I'm sharing, along with the commands for priviledge etc | 22:13 |
jhutchins | How about "run it with bash (or whatever shell it wants). bash /path/to/script | 22:15 |
sarnold | rm-rf: sudo -s is indeed full root | 22:17 |
Mitacho | Sorry guys, I am stuck. I am trying to pass the vendor id to usb_modeswitch but it says: No default vendor/product ID given. Abort | 22:18 |
Mitacho | This is the command I ran: sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x0c76 | 22:18 |
Mitacho | https://imgur.com/a/1sB7WdQ | 22:23 |
Mitacho | rm-rf this script could not be executed. | 22:23 |
Mitacho | That* | 22:24 |
Mathisen | Mitacho, well you you are not running xargs as sudo.. when you pipe something example " command 1 | command 2 " you need to enter sudo for both commands if you need to run them as root. so it would be " sudo command 1 | sudo command 2 " | 22:25 |
sarnold | chmod 755 usb2sys will fix the permissions problem | 22:25 |
sarnold | but what's the point of that script? | 22:25 |
Mitacho | Oh! | 22:25 |
sarnold | what will you do once you've got the /sys path of the device? | 22:25 |

(thanks for being here sarnold. I m morganu too) | 22:40 |
jhutchins | clear your old bookmarks, export them on the new system and import them to the old. | 22:40 |
djenna | That isnt the idea. I want ot clear all my chrome data off this laptop before I reinstall chrome and synch. Things are fine with chrome on my home computer. | 22:46 |
djenna | Maybe I need to read what you said a couple of more times. | 22:47 |
djenna | Now I understand. Thanks jhutchins | 22:47 |
