Chunkyzsarnold, 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

Chunkyzbut I'm getting weird screen tearing. :-(00:22
jhutchinsChunkyz: Not much surprise there, SecureBoot was developed to prevent people from booting to other media, specifically to prevent people from installing Linux.00:22
sarnoldChunkyz: that's a crazy series of things to try :) heh00:22
oerheksgive more memory to your integrated intel thing00:23
Chunkyzoh, nevermind! fixed it. :-)00:25
Chunkyzit works now though, that's the main thing :-) looking forward to the next LTS! thanks guys. :-)00:26
cbreakubuntu should have boot loaders that are signed by microsoft, which might be compatible with secure boot00:26
cbreakbut I've never used them, maybe it doesn't work00:27
oerhekssecure boot works fine, unless you want nvidia drivers00:29
sarnoldoh? I thougth we signed those, too00:29
ChunkyzI installed everything through the server install, no more lubuntu/xubuntu loading screens!00:30
Chunkyzhappy customer! thanks for the support. :-)00:30
toddcthat explans why I have to turn off secureboot on some installs00:35
sarnoldyou install a lot of twelve year old software?00:35
toddcI 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 why00:38
Chunkyzwill upgrading from 21.10 to 22.04 break things?00:44

ke4nhwI 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 for02:18
ke4nhwvirtuals).02:18
sarnoldheya ke4nhw :) you can use ubuntu lts for free if you wish02:18
ke4nhwubunbu lts?02:19
ke4nhwIs that a lightweight version of ubuntu?02:19
sarnoldke4nhw: 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
sarnoldke4nhw: 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 predictable02:20
ke4nhwso it would have a life cycle similar to Fedora, based on subscription?02:21
ke4nhwOr does the subscription just extend the life cycle from 5 to 10 years?02:21
ke4nhwAnd what is esm support?02:22
sarnoldsorry :) I've been stuck in the jargon for so long..02:22
ke4nhwThat's okay lol02:22
sarnoldesm == extended security (and?) maintenance -- it's mostly security support after the free basic support ends, yeah02:23
sarnoldit's not *exactly* for money, you can get three machines of esm for free, https://ubuntu.com/advantage02:23
sarnoldbut 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, yeah02:24
ke4nhwSo I can 5 years for free, then either upgrade or subscribe to continue support for the current version?02:24
ke4nhwProbably not a dozen, but I'd expect at least half a dozen...02:24
sarnoldquite a lot of folks will just upgrade every two years, and either run the newest LTS release, or the "previous LTS" release02:24
sarnoldbut a lot of businesses run on slower cycles than that :)02:25

Bashing-omoops: libfstrcmp0 in package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/kodi-gbm .02:38
=== evanextreme is now known as evanextreme[away
ke4nhwSo 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
sarnoldke4nhw: yeah, pretty much02:42
ke4nhw4 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
sarnoldke4nhw: 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 out02:44
sarnoldke4nhw: 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 stopped02:45
sarnoldke4nhw: debian unstable still keeps churning along at whatever rate it churns at, in the meantime02:45
ke4nhwSo 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
sarnolddebian 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 convenient02:52
sarnoldubuntu 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, etc02:53
sarnoldso, ubuntu does some 'real world' testing of packages before those packages are released in a debian stable02:53
ke4nhwOkay, so Ubuntu LTS, and Debian, are both end products, similar to RHEL, therefore stable?03:00
sarnoldthat's the idea, yeah03:01
Guest83I was curious if anyone knew of a software to increase the volume past 100%04:28
Guest83I had one before but I have forgot the name of it04:28
Guest83It let me increase the volumes on firefox and other software individually04:28
ke4nhwI don't know about software, but you can't go wrong with having a home theater system with huge ass speakers attached to your computer04:41

adderallDoes anyone know how to get around system hangs at boot caused by snap loading too slow?04:59
adderallApparently it's a bug but there has to be some way to circumvent or patch it.04:59
KBaradderall: i dont think theres anything other than reducing the number of snaps?05:00
ke4nhwLiterally the most dangerous command in Linux, by reversing the command and switch05:00
adderallke4nhw: are you talkin' to me or is that a reference to something else before I logged in?05:02
ke4nhwbefore you logged in, sorry05:03
adderallYeah, I can even find the process causing it to hang05:03
adderall... Looks like it's the full snap directory doing this05:04
adderallCould just disable snap at boot05:04
ke4nhwI don't know enough about ubuntu to even hazard a guess.05:04
adderallWell, the snap issue isn't just an Ubuntu thing. You can install snap on any linux05:06
adderallIt 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 considerably05:07
ke4nhwHoly 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 blood05:07
ke4nhwI haven't heard of it, and doesn't sound like I want to try it lol05:08
KBar? Ubuntu is 100% free.05:08
ke4nhwI was looking at things under the enterprise/business pages05:08
adderallI'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 Stallman05:09
adderallI'm going to say it's free as in it doesn't cost $120, as compared to Windows05:09
KBaradderall: regardless of what he thinks, it's absolutely free in both meanings05:09
adderallI agree with KBar05:09
KBaryou can get it for exactly 0 cents and do whatever you want with it05:09
adderallIt'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
ke4nhwAnd 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 now05:10
KBarget rid of most the packages, install something else, etc.05:10
adderallWhat country are you in, ke4nhw? Just curious as it's very rare for business owners to use Linux in the U.S.05:10
adderallI'm interested in the idea of that! Very cool05:10
adderallIt's mostly just used for servers here05:10
ke4nhwMy 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
KBaradderall: i heard ts pretty popular in SEA for kiosks?05:11
adderallYep, haha, it's free05:11
adderallI'm sure it's used for cash registers in the U.S.05:11
ke4nhwHe'll be using Windows on his desk of course, but backend stuff will be on Linux servers.05:11
adderallI 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, LOL05:11
KBarthis is getting off-topic, lets maybe continue this on #ubuntu-discuss?05:12
adderallYeah, OK ...05:12
adderallI can move to that chat. I'm not auto-joined to it, but I'm OK with that05:12
ke4nhwI'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 service05:14
ke4nhwOkay, think I'm in the clear05:16
ke4nhwthey dropped the warnings05:17
ke4nhwBut 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_gameHow 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 help07:19
KBarsquid_game: `apt purge` `apt install`?07:20
squid_gameKBar, do you mean to reinstall networking service?07:22
KBarsquid_game: depends on what exactly you changed07:23
squid_gameit's not specific to my laptop. I tried in different laptops, I get the same issue.07:23
squid_gameKBar, is there another method that I can restart/reset all the networking interfaces and settings, as fresh as restarting the laptop?07:24
KBarsquid_game: `iptables -F`?07:27
squid_gameKBar, I tried as well, but didn't help. AFAIK, it is to refresh the ip rules, doesn't effect the interfaces07:28
KBarsquid_game: then just `systemctl restart`07:29
squid_gameKBar, systemctl restart "what service"? It's also my question :)07:31
KBarsquid_game: depending on what you have. it's network-manager by default07:31
KBarsquid_game: so it would be NetworkManager.service07:32
KBari dont know what your computer has07:32
KBarif its a server or a desktop07:32
squid_gameI have ubuntu 18.04 desktop07:32
squid_gameI tried all the network* services. I have 3 of them, it didn't help.07:33
KBarsquid_game: try the one starting with a capital N07:33
squid_gamedo you know another method or another service that might work?07:33
KBarNetworkManager.service07:33
squid_gameI don't have it. I only have networkd-dispatcher.service  network-manager.service      network-pre.target            networking.service           network-online.target        network.target07:34
squid_gameI tried all the *.services07:34
KBarYeah, you probably did something wrong on your system then. It should be there.07:34
KBarsquid_game: can you verify that? `systemctl list-units --all` and then search for 'NetworkManager.service'07:36
squid_gameKBar, 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.service07:37
KBarsquid_game: how about systemd-networkd.service?07:38
squid_gameif I stop the *.services, it disables the connectivity. But the interfaces, IP addresses etc are still there07:38
squid_gameI have systemd-networkd.service07:39
squid_gameI will try it and will probably be disconnected07:39
squid_gamethanks for the help07:39
KBarsquid_game: `systemctl reload systemd-networkd.service`07:39
armadefuego@squid_game. did you get what you need?07:40
squid_gameFailed to reload systemd-networkd.service: Job type reload is not applicable for unit systemd-networkd.service07:40
squid_gamearmadefuego, no. Is there any chance you might have a suggestion?07:41
armadefuegowell i am trying to follw, but i may have gotten on the wrong foot.07:41
squid_gamearmadefuego, what I want to have is to refresh all the network settings, interfaces etc.07:41
armadefuegoare you just trying to restart all the connections, like on reboot, or not have the connections you _currently_ have07:42
armadefuego( which would reconnect on reboot... if you didn't remove them07:43
squid_gamearmadefuego. 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 configurations07:44
squid_gameyes, I'd like to restart the network interface&settings similar to what a reboot would do07:45
armadefuegobut you also _expect_ to set them up again?07:46
squid_gameno07:54
squid_gameI want a fresh start07:54
armadefuegook. The GUI has buttons to shut them off. or the commandline has nmcli... IIRC07:55
armadefuegoeither could shut down a connection, for temp purposes. then click and it reconnects07:56
squid_gamearmadefuego, do you know if I can do it on the terminal? Then I'd use it part of a bash script07:58
armadefuegonmcli connection show07:58
armadefuegonmcli is justone method to shutdown a connectio, and restart.08:00
squid_gameinteresting. I didn't know it. I am going to investigate it08:01
armadefuegoits got a decent man page.08:02
armadefuegoand the _ip_ command can be usefull here.08:02

wseadmin|afk-ishSo, 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-ishAethereal:Use  " scp " to backup important stuff to another device.14:00

chilverscany plans to backport kernel 5.16 to 20.04?14:02
ThinkT510!hwe14:04
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack14:04
chilverscThinkT510: 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 is14:06
ThinkT510I'm not sure of 22.04's kernel version14:07
ThinkT510if you really need 5.16 then you could try mainline14:07
ThinkT510!mainline14:07
ubottuThe 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/MainlineBuilds14:07
chilverscat 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 5.1614:07
chilverscis mainline separate to the HWE builds?14:08
ograthe mainline PPA kernels are not for production use and miss a lot of features14:08
ThinkT510mainline is mostly for testing14:08
ograyep14:08
Aetherealwseadmin|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
ograto verify bugfixes if some kernel team member asks you to ...14:09
trafficjamhow much "graphics memory" does this cpu have? i7-1065G714:10
trafficjamusing wine and an installer is asking for this14:11
chilverscyup, that's why I was more interested in the hwe builds than mainline14:11
chilverscI was just wondering what the plan was for 20.04 as currently the latest kernel is 2.1314:12
wseadmin|afk-ishIsn't it 5.15 now?14:13
chilverscnot according to https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/linux-tools-generic-hwe-20.04 unless I'm reading it wrong?14:13
RavageIt's 5.13. it will probably get 5.15 a few weeks/months after the 22.04 release14:13
RavageNot sure what the usual timeline is. 5.13 came pretty fast after 21.1014:14
chilverscah well, maybe I just need to try replacing mdadm with zfs14:16
alkisgI think it comes out after 22.04.1, not after 22.04. So, in August.14:18
chilverscyup, that's rather too long to wait, though not even sure if it will fix the issue14:18
wseadmin|afk-ishchilversc: 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
RavageMy steam Library runs completely from ZFS. No problems at all14:19
chilverscthis file system is only used to store cachefilesd14:19
wseadmin|afk-ishYou don't have to Verify games after it performs a scrub?14:19
trafficjamis it possible to use windows 10/11 for Wine?14:19
chilverscsome combination of access patterns between cachefilesd, and mdadm seems to be causing a kernel panic14:20
RavageI think sometimes it checks some files. But never a complete verify14:20
RavageNothing that really bothers me14:20
Ravagetrafficjam: that question does not make a lot of sense14:21
RavageAnd that's being polite about it :P14:21
trafficjamRavage: im trying to run a program with Wine, and it told me that windowx xp and windows 32-bit are no longer supported14:22
wseadmin|afk-ishtrafficjam: Try winecfg and see your options there.14:23
RavageI'm pretty sure there is a maintained 32 bit version of wine14:23
trafficjamwseadmin|afk-ish: ah perfect, thanks man14:23
wseadmin|afk-ishYou might also want to use " WINEPREFIX=/location/of/install/ winecfg "14:24
RavageAlso try https://www.winehq.org/irc14:25
leftyfbtrafficjam: you want #winehq14:28
Aetherealioria The reinstall finished, but nothing has changed14:28
wseadmin|afk-ishIt 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-ishEspecially since this happened before years ago and I can't remember nor find my documentation on how to solve it.14:40
tomreynwseadmin|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
ioriaAethereal, switch to tty and sudo systemctl restart gdm14:44
wseadmin|afk-ishHi 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-ishNow I am trying to get it to boot from partition(s) sda1 and sda2.14:45
tomreynwseadmin|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

tomreynwseadmin|afk-ish: using the "share" option15:46
Aetherealioria 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 uninstalling15:47
Aetherealit. I did an uninstall, removed repo, apt update, apt upgrade and apt purge sequence. And then got the blank screen issue15:47

leftyfbfrost-core: you're going to have to give more info than that. Regardless, I am 99% sure this is not an ubuntu issue16:59
frost-coreleftyfb : 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 it17:00
leftyfbfrost-core: ok, contact "powder toy" for support for that completely non-critical issue17:01
jhutchinsfrost-core: That's the default date for a null record.17:03
novacyclistfrost-core: 1/1/1980 is the FAT32 0 epoch, I've seen it in macos when copying files over the dates are converted incorrectly17:04

jairHello 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
jairThe 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
Maikfrost-core: games lag hard because you have a low spec machine with only 2GB RAM i believe?17:17
leftyfb^17:18
frost-coreMaik : i used to run windows with games, good performance cause it used opengl, linux, TERRIBLE JUNK PERFORMANCE!17:18
frost-coreif only intel could make drivers for the latest kernel17:18
Maikfrost-core: get a new machine17:19
leftyfbfrost-core: an Atom processor with 2G of memory and Intel graphics is not a gaming platform17:19
Maikexactly17:19
frost-coreleftyfb : but it used to run supertux fast i guess, and supertuxkart17:19
Maikfrost-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 it17:22
jhutchinsIf 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
jhutchinsjair: Is there any hardware on either laptop that does not seem to be fully supported?17:26
jairjhutchins, 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 improved17:29
jairI mean the third monitor goes offline less often17:29
chilverscis 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 messages17:29
jairjhutchins but I am not sure if it was the kernel version17:30
chilverscI'm just after a simple true/false to test if a specific pool exists17:30
frost-corei may sell my nb and get an older, linux supported pc probably17:30

jairI 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
jairjhutchinsand 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
jairsame installation media I used for all three systems17:33
VadimPAfter upgrading to 21.10, I have no working sound. How can I fix this?17:34
oerheksVadimP, pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload # might fix it, setting to defaults17:37
VadimPIt said "E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process" but still no sound17:38
RavageAnd if you just type pulseaudio?17:40
RavageDoes it start or fail to start?17:41
jhutchinsjair: Is that kernel already installed?  Kernel release notes may be available "upstream" at kernel.org.17:41
jhutchinsjair: It's probably a good idea to read them, several recent kernels have had "reversion" issues with support for previously working hardware.17:42
VadimPI deleted .pulse and .config/pulse, ran 'pulseaudio --start' and that exited without error, but still no sound. 'pulseaaudio' on its own says daemon already running17:42
VadimPhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FMxsdC9sXF/17:43
jairjhutchins 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 same17:43
oerheksVadimP, and into sound settings, anything unusual?17:44
RavageVadimP: try "sudo apt install pavucontrol" and then "pavucontrol"17:44
oerhekssound hdmi>your card17:44
Ravagesee if it shows any devices17:44
oerheksalsamixer could do the same17:44
VadimPthere 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/wtz2yr17:46
VadimPpavucontrol is too complicated to make sense of but I see nothing wrong - https://imgur.com/a/QmaY64b17:47
VadimPWhat else can I try? Downgrading is not an option as this was a forced upgrade17:49
Ravagecheck "output devices"17:50
Ravagemaybe its muted there. and how is your headset connected? does it show up in output devices?17:50
VadimPit shows sound be playing there: https://imgur.com/a/IBBIqSM17:51
oerhekschange digital out to analog?17:52
Ravageyep. also HDMI looks good. there should be sound over HDMI when you select it as the output device of an application17:54
oerhekshdmi, oke, but not digital17:58

mncheckI 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 service19:09
mncheckthe previous version works fine, which i downgraded to. how do you work around this?19:10
jhutchinsmncheck: Are you using docker?19:19
mncheckjhutchins, yes19:19
jhutchinsmncheck: Does the new version have any essential features you need to use?19:19
mncheckI have 82 images19:19
mncheckjhutchins, I don't care about the docker version, just want to go from bionic to focal19:20
mncheckjhutchins, so, no19:20
jhutchinsSounds like the correct response is to go get yourself a refreshing beverage and find something productive to work on.19:21
jhutchinsRevisit the upgrade next week.19:21
mncheckwhat is the correct way to select the "test" suite with apt-get? docker I've added a bionic/test line with the docker sources.list19:30
=== tscott_ is now known as tscott
mncheckthey have "edge" "nightly" "stable" and "test" and I'm currently on stable19:35
xboxhjhk19:42
mncheckoh it's not a suite but a component19:47
mncheckI 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 wrong19:57
oerheksmncheck, change to focal ? anyway, i would remove docker and the repo, until after upgrade and add it again19:59
mncheckoerheks, I'm still on bionic19:59
oerheksi think it should be disabled anyway during upgrade19:59
mncheckoerheks, I faintly remember once removing docker which deleted all my images in the past, which I don't want19:59
oerheksno it should not, not without --purge. and if you have no backup, those images are unimportant20:00
jhutchinsmncheck: Hopefully you have since instated a policy of backing up your images to something external to the development sysem.20:02
jhutchinssystem.20:02
oerheksyour /home/  folder would do..20:02
mncheckI don't understand why -t nightly is not selecting anything20:03
mncheckwell leaving only nightly avoids the problem by chance20:21

coz_good day all21:07
adderallI 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
adderallBut if I go back to Windows, eventually, I'll miss it.21:09
coz_adderall, it's definitly worth it21:10
adderallYou tell me how it's worth it, boss?21:10
adderallI 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 it21:10
adderallThis is true.21:10
adderallYou learn about computer science.21:10
adderallIt would be the best if my interviewers didn't keep asking me PowerShell and Windows questions though.21:11
adderallHave you ever run rkhunter, coz_?21:11
coz_adderall, i have ot21:11
coz_not21:11
adderallTry 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
mncheckupdate not looking very smooth21:13
adderallYeah, see, mncheck is going through the rounds like I did21:13
adderallIf he's got tenacity, he won't reinstall21:13

MitachoPermissão negada = " Permission denied "22:10
Mathisenrun it with sudo22:10
rm-rfYes, what he said22:11
rm-rfor, even better: do < sudo -i > so you stay in root during all of this22:11
rm-rfUmm, <sudo -s> is even better. Sudo -s will go to root but under the user so not full root.22:12
Mathisenside note: dont run things as root you dont understand what does.22:12
rm-rf*root oft he user22:12
MitachoAlso does not allow. Neither using sudo nor using sudo -i22:12
Mathisendont copy paste things you dont understand22:12

MitachoThat*22:24
MathisenMitacho, 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
sarnoldchmod 755 usb2sys will fix the permissions problem22:25
sarnoldbut what's the point of that script?22:25

djennaOK I havent used this laptop for a year and the chromebookmarks are all out of phase. I cant update chrome, must reinstall but if it synchs I am afraid that these old bookmarks will mess things up. How can I erase all my chrome data before I reinstall the new version of chrome. (thanks for being here sarnold. I m morganu too)22:40
jhutchinsclear your old bookmarks, export them on the new system and import them to the old.22:40
djennaThat 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
djennaMaybe I need to read what you said a couple of more times.22:47
djennaNow I understand. Thanks jhutchins22:47

jhutchinsdjenna: Oh, er, outside the browser that is.22:49
rm-rf... On the "sudo -s" earlier. Like I said, it's root for the user but not full admin root. There are higher privilges beyond sudo -s22:49
rm-rfAlso, Chromium is the default browser for Linux. Although I do use Chrome myself and I prefer it.22:50

Mitachorm-rf Oh! cool. I'll stay here, if you mention me I'll respond!22:53
