[00:21] 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. [00:22] Client: HexChat 2.14.3 • OS: Ubuntu "impish" 21.10 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500T CPU @ 2.50GHz (2.50GHz) • Memory: Physical: 15.1 GiB Total (14.7 GiB Free) Swap: 3.9 GiB Total (3.9 GiB Free) • Storage: 1.2 TB / 3.1 TB (2.0 TB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 @ Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers • Uptime: 11m 18s [00:22] but I'm getting weird screen tearing. :-( [00:22] 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] Chunkyz: that's a crazy series of things to try :) heh [00:23] give more memory to your integrated intel thing [00:25] oh, nevermind! fixed it. :-) [00:26] it works now though, that's the main thing :-) looking forward to the next LTS! thanks guys. :-) [00:26] ubuntu should have boot loaders that are signed by microsoft, which might be compatible with secure boot [00:27] but I've never used them, maybe it doesn't work [00:29] secure boot works fine, unless you want nvidia drivers [00:29] oh? I thougth we signed those, too [00:30] I installed everything through the server install, no more lubuntu/xubuntu loading screens! [00:30] happy customer! thanks for the support. :-) [00:35] that explans why I have to turn off secureboot on some installs [00:35] you install a lot of twelve year old software? [00:38] 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 [00:44] will upgrading from 21.10 to 22.04 break things? [00:54] !22.04 | Chunkyz [00:54] Chunkyz: Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) will be the 36th release of Ubuntu, scheduled for release April 2022 (https://ubottu.com/y/jj). Join #ubuntu-next for support and questions. [01:14] Bashing-om: ?? [01:15] Why tag me in that 🤔 [01:16] Chunkyz, you there? [01:16] Chunkyz, on debian, I recall running into an issue where some motherboards were not friendly with NVME installs and I had to specifically manually configure the ... what's it called. bootloader install on the correct drive. [01:19] any note apps for linux that have spell checking because my spelling and grammer some time is lacking [01:19] just like that message [01:19] haha [01:20] goddard, I use web based tools, like google keep. [01:20] Chunkyz: Sorry to be unclear - inquiries about 22.04 go to #ubuntu-next channel - better eyes there :D [01:25] cluelessperson: alrighty [01:44] hi [02:18] 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] virtuals). [02:18] heya ke4nhw :) you can use ubuntu lts for free if you wish [02:19] ubunbu lts? [02:19] Is that a lightweight version of ubuntu? [02:19] 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.. [02:20] 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 [02:21] so it would have a life cycle similar to Fedora, based on subscription? [02:21] Or does the subscription just extend the life cycle from 5 to 10 years? [02:22] And what is esm support? [02:22] sorry :) I've been stuck in the jargon for so long.. [02:22] That's okay lol [02:23] esm == extended security (and?) maintenance -- it's mostly security support after the free basic support ends, yeah [02:23] it's not *exactly* for money, you can get three machines of esm for free, https://ubuntu.com/advantage [02:24] 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] So I can 5 years for free, then either upgrade or subscribe to continue support for the current version? [02:24] Probably not a dozen, but I'd expect at least half a dozen... [02:24] quite a lot of folks will just upgrade every two years, and either run the newest LTS release, or the "previous LTS" release [02:25] but a lot of businesses run on slower cycles than that :) [02:31] i install kodi on my ubutun20.04 from repository, it prompt "Err:1 http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 libfstrcmp0 amd64 0.7.D001-1.1build1 [02:31] Connection failed [IP: 91.189.91.38 80] [02:31] " ,the ip can ping through ,and i search that package on pkg.org , it display none exist === hays is now known as h_ [02:34] oops: that's strange -- you're the first to report problems here, I can't spot anything that looks out of hte ordinary .. is it still a problem? === A_Dragon is now known as NotRegistered === NotRegistered is now known as A_Dragon [02:38] oops: libfstrcmp0 in package: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/kodi-gbm . === evanextreme is now known as evanextreme[away [02:39] 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? [02:42] ke4nhw: yeah, pretty much [02:43] 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? [02:44] 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 [02:45] 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] ke4nhw: debian unstable still keeps churning along at whatever rate it churns at, in the meantime [02:49] 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? [02:52] 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 [02:53] 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] so, ubuntu does some 'real world' testing of packages before those packages are released in a debian stable [03:00] Okay, so Ubuntu LTS, and Debian, are both end products, similar to RHEL, therefore stable? [03:01] that's the idea, yeah [04:28] I was curious if anyone knew of a software to increase the volume past 100% [04:28] I had one before but I have forgot the name of it [04:28] It let me increase the volumes on firefox and other software individually [04:41] I don't know about software, but you can't go wrong with having a home theater system with huge ass speakers attached to your computer [04:41] Always been my fave solution [04:53] want to install kde [04:53] do sudo -rf -rm --no-preserve-root [04:54] sudo -rf -rm --no-preserve-root for kde [04:56] yrdsb: no, this will destroy your current system and all files on it [04:56] [11:54:19 PM] sudo -rf -rm --no-preserve-root for kde [04:56] [11:56:23 PM] yrdsb: no, this will destroy your current system and all files on it [04:56] no it wil lgive kds [04:57] yrdsb: try KDE in a Live session first, or install it in a VM [04:57] want kde [04:57] do sudo -rf -rm /* [04:59] Does anyone know how to get around system hangs at boot caused by snap loading too slow? [04:59] Apparently it's a bug but there has to be some way to circumvent or patch it. [05:00] adderall: i dont think theres anything other than reducing the number of snaps? [05:00] Literally the most dangerous command in Linux, by reversing the command and switch [05:02] ke4nhw: are you talkin' to me or is that a reference to something else before I logged in? [05:03] before you logged in, sorry [05:03] Yeah, I can even find the process causing it to hang [05:04] ... Looks like it's the full snap directory doing this [05:04] Could just disable snap at boot [05:04] I don't know enough about ubuntu to even hazard a guess. [05:06] Well, the snap issue isn't just an Ubuntu thing. You can install snap on any linux [05:07] 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] 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 [05:08] I haven't heard of it, and doesn't sound like I want to try it lol [05:08] ? Ubuntu is 100% free. [05:08] I was looking at things under the enterprise/business pages [05:09] 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] I'm going to say it's free as in it doesn't cost $120, as compared to Windows [05:09] adderall: regardless of what he thinks, it's absolutely free in both meanings [05:09] I agree with KBar [05:09] you can get it for exactly 0 cents and do whatever you want with it [05:10] 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] 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] get rid of most the packages, install something else, etc. [05:10] 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] I'm interested in the idea of that! Very cool [05:10] It's mostly just used for servers here [05:11] 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] adderall: i heard ts pretty popular in SEA for kiosks? [05:11] Yep, haha, it's free [05:11] I'm sure it's used for cash registers in the U.S. [05:11] He'll be using Windows on his desk of course, but backend stuff will be on Linux servers. [05:11] 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 [05:12] this is getting off-topic, lets maybe continue this on #ubuntu-discuss? [05:12] Yeah, OK ... [05:12] I can move to that chat. I'm not auto-joined to it, but I'm OK with that [05:14] 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 [05:16] Okay, think I'm in the clear [05:17] they dropped the warnings [05:19] 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.

How can we help you? [07:03] I am ok, no help needed, this is just my default channel to load into [07:06] foehammer: alright. Keep in mind that this channel is for Ubuntu supported. You're expected to ask questions, so. [07:06] foehammer: for chit chat, visit appropriate channels like #ubuntu-offtopic [07:19] 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 [07:20] squid_game: `apt purge` `apt install`? [07:22] KBar, do you mean to reinstall networking service? [07:23] squid_game: depends on what exactly you changed [07:23] it's not specific to my laptop. I tried in different laptops, I get the same issue. [07:24] KBar, is there another method that I can restart/reset all the networking interfaces and settings, as fresh as restarting the laptop? [07:27] squid_game: `iptables -F`? [07:28] KBar, I tried as well, but didn't help. AFAIK, it is to refresh the ip rules, doesn't effect the interfaces [07:29] squid_game: then just `systemctl restart` [07:31] KBar, systemctl restart "what service"? It's also my question :) [07:31] squid_game: depending on what you have. it's network-manager by default [07:32] squid_game: so it would be NetworkManager.service [07:32] i dont know what your computer has [07:32] if its a server or a desktop [07:32] I have ubuntu 18.04 desktop [07:33] I tried all the network* services. I have 3 of them, it didn't help. [07:33] squid_game: try the one starting with a capital N [07:33] do you know another method or another service that might work? [07:33] NetworkManager.service [07:34] 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] I tried all the *.services [07:34] Yeah, you probably did something wrong on your system then. It should be there. [07:36] squid_game: can you verify that? `systemctl list-units --all` and then search for 'NetworkManager.service' [07:37] 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 [07:38] squid_game: how about systemd-networkd.service? [07:38] if I stop the *.services, it disables the connectivity. But the interfaces, IP addresses etc are still there [07:39] I have systemd-networkd.service [07:39] I will try it and will probably be disconnected [07:39] thanks for the help [07:39] squid_game: `systemctl reload systemd-networkd.service` [07:40] @squid_game. did you get what you need? [07:40] Failed to reload systemd-networkd.service: Job type reload is not applicable for unit systemd-networkd.service [07:41] armadefuego, no. Is there any chance you might have a suggestion? [07:41] well i am trying to follw, but i may have gotten on the wrong foot. [07:41] armadefuego, what I want to have is to refresh all the network settings, interfaces etc. [07:42] are you just trying to restart all the connections, like on reboot, or not have the connections you _currently_ have [07:43] ( which would reconnect on reboot... if you didn't remove them [07:44] 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 [07:45] yes, I'd like to restart the network interface&settings similar to what a reboot would do [07:46] but you also _expect_ to set them up again? [07:54] no [07:54] I want a fresh start [07:55] ok. The GUI has buttons to shut them off. or the commandline has nmcli... IIRC [07:56] either could shut down a connection, for temp purposes. then click and it reconnects [07:58] armadefuego, do you know if I can do it on the terminal? Then I'd use it part of a bash script [07:58] nmcli connection show [08:00] nmcli is justone method to shutdown a connectio, and restart. [08:01] interesting. I didn't know it. I am going to investigate it [08:02] its got a decent man page. [08:02] and the _ip_ command can be usefull here. [08:03] thank you for the tip, I will investigate it [08:04] NP. Anything else?

But I wanted to discuss here how people like to do it. stackoverflow is not always the right canonical way of doing it right [12:27] bodhi: how do you do it now? [12:34] base64encode.org is one quick way for anything that is not a "secret".

[13:07] is there a web page somewhere that lists the current hwe kernel available for each release? [13:12] wseadmin|afk-ish already tried that, reinstalling gnome-desktop, but with no result [13:13] Aethereal: Try a different desktop or reinstall your display manager? sddm, lightdm, gdm3, etc? [13:14] chilversc: Careful with that, I manually installed a kernel and tortured my drive. [13:17] hwe should avoid that issue as they're backported specifically for ubuntu === Guest5433 is now known as pong [13:22] chilversc: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=linux-tools-generic-hwe [13:22] or better https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=linux-image-generic-hwe&searchon=names [13:23] raspberry is faster than windows10 [13:23] raspberry ubuntu [13:24] plon: do you have a ubuntu support question? [13:25] is there a method to enable the cpu faster [13:26] not within Ubuntu. google overclocking [13:26] 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] google overclocking [13:32] plon: ubuntu works fine on a Pi 4 with 4 or 8 GB RAM without overclocking [13:32] 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] works. Instead of a login screen I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor, and need to ALT-F2 to get a shell [13:33] Aethereal, how did you reinstall X and -desktop pkgs ? [13:37] 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) [13:38] !ingo gnome-desktop [13:38] !info gnome-desktop [13:38] Package gnome-desktop does not exist in impish [13:38] Aethereal, what release ? 20.04 ? [13:40] ioria The machine is currently 20.04, but it started as a 16.04->18.04->20.04 [13:40] 'Morning folks [13:41] Aethereal, so it's Ubuntu , not Kubuntu or another flavor ? [13:41] ioria Yes, vanilla Ubuntu [13:42] shouldn't gnome-desktop be ubuntu-desktop when reinstalling? [13:42] Aethereal, sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop^ ( <-- note the caret ^) [13:46] 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] i see [13:48] ioria what's the caret meaning? I've never seen it [13:49] Aethereal, it's a set of packages [13:51] ioria I see, like @name in Gentoo emerge [13:52] Aethereal, yeah, probably [13:52] Aethereal, i suggest anyhow to purge/remove that waydoid [13:53] ioria Yes, I already did that. I have this issue since I removed it... [13:54] ok [13:55] Aethereal: If you /home is in its own logical partition, then you can just reinstall your boot partition. [13:58] 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) [13:59] So, the answer to my question might be: " ssh -X " then " sudo gparted /dev/sda " followed by " sudo grub-install /dev/sda1 " [14:00] Aethereal:Use " scp " to backup important stuff to another device. [14:01] Ravage: thanks [14:02] any plans to backport kernel 5.16 to 20.04? [14:04] !hwe [14:04] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [14:06] 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 [14:07] I'm not sure of 22.04's kernel version [14:07] if you really need 5.16 then you could try mainline [14:07] !mainline [14:07] 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] 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 [14:08] is mainline separate to the HWE builds? [14:08] the mainline PPA kernels are not for production use and miss a lot of features [14:08] mainline is mostly for testing [14:08] yep [14:08] 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... [14:09] to verify bugfixes if some kernel team member asks you to ... [14:10] how much "graphics memory" does this cpu have? i7-1065G7 [14:11] using wine and an installer is asking for this [14:11] yup, that's why I was more interested in the hwe builds than mainline [14:12] I was just wondering what the plan was for 20.04 as currently the latest kernel is 2.13 [14:13] Isn't it 5.15 now? [14:13] not according to https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/linux-tools-generic-hwe-20.04 unless I'm reading it wrong? [14:13] It's 5.13. it will probably get 5.15 a few weeks/months after the 22.04 release [14:14] Not sure what the usual timeline is. 5.13 came pretty fast after 21.10 [14:16] ah well, maybe I just need to try replacing mdadm with zfs [14:18] I think it comes out after 22.04.1, not after 22.04. So, in August. [14:18] yup, that's rather too long to wait, though not even sure if it will fix the issue [14:18] 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. [14:19] My steam Library runs completely from ZFS. No problems at all [14:19] this file system is only used to store cachefilesd [14:19] You don't have to Verify games after it performs a scrub? [14:19] is it possible to use windows 10/11 for Wine? [14:20] some combination of access patterns between cachefilesd, and mdadm seems to be causing a kernel panic [14:20] I think sometimes it checks some files. But never a complete verify [14:20] Nothing that really bothers me [14:21] trafficjam: that question does not make a lot of sense [14:21] And that's being polite about it :P [14:22] Ravage: im trying to run a program with Wine, and it told me that windowx xp and windows 32-bit are no longer supported [14:23] trafficjam: Try winecfg and see your options there. [14:23] I'm pretty sure there is a maintained 32 bit version of wine [14:23] wseadmin|afk-ish: ah perfect, thanks man [14:24] You might also want to use " WINEPREFIX=/location/of/install/ winecfg " [14:25] Also try https://www.winehq.org/irc [14:28] trafficjam: you want #winehq [14:28] ioria The reinstall finished, but nothing has changed [14:40] 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] Especially since this happened before years ago and I can't remember nor find my documentation on how to solve it. [14:42] 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. [14:44] Aethereal, switch to tty and sudo systemctl restart gdm [14:44] 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. [14:45] Now I am trying to get it to boot from partition(s) sda1 and sda2. [14:45] 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? [14:46] hello! [14:46] so im trying to make a custom bash prompt [14:46] but i need colours [14:46] how do i input them in? [14:47] ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso (because FreeRDP v2 doesn't work well with NTLM auth Windows servers). [14:47] frost-core: what have you found online so far and what problems are you having with it? [14:48] leftyfb : i found not understandable guides [14:48] How do I check bios / EFI mode via CLI? The machine is in use, I have SSH only atm. [14:48] all of them are complicated [14:48] ioria sudo systemctl restart gdm just gives me back the blank screen with blinking underscore [14:48] frost-core: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html [14:49] wseadmin|afk-ish: test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios [14:49] Aethereal: Try install sddm instead of gdm? [14:49] frost-core: are you trying to create your own distro? [14:49] leftyfb : no im trying this on my ubuntu mate [14:49] i already made my distro [14:49] Aethereal, odd : dpkg -l | grep gdm | nc termbin.com 9999 (and paste the url here pleae) [14:50] Thanks Ravage it is "efi" [14:51] frost-core: if you need more in-depth help with bash, then you might try #bash [14:52] ioria https://termbin.com/39rk [14:53] Aethereal, ls /usr/share/xsessions/ | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:55] thanks lefty! it worked! [14:55] "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 " [14:56] leftyfb : also do you know any guides to creating plymouth themes? [14:56] frost-core: no [14:56] ioria https://termbin.com/6qjh (did a ls -l so you can see the gnome.desktop link) [14:56] leftyfb : is there an irc channel for plymouth? [14:57] Aethereal, cd /usr/share/xsessions/ [14:57] 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? [14:58] I don't know but you might try searching " site:omgubuntu.co.uk " they have a lot of theme stuff on there frost-core [14:58] Aethereal, and sudo mv gnome.desktop gnome.desktop.back [14:58] Aethereal, also sudo mv gnome-xorg.desktop gnome-xorg.desktop.back [14:58] wseadmin|afk-ish : thanks! [15:02] ioria Ok. [15:02] Aethereal, check if you have gnome-session-wayland installed ( dpkg -l | grep gnome-session-wayland) [15:03] ioria seems not, it get no result [15:04] Aethereal, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 [15:09] 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] Aethereal, nope, not required and that line should be comneted with an hash (#) [15:10] *commented [15:11] Aethereal, is it ? [15:11] does anybody know how to get the plymouth-set-default-theme in ubuntu? [15:12] 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] Depends on your desktop environment frost-core [15:12] wseadmin|afk-ish : mate? [15:13] Aethereal, ls /usr/share/wayland-sessions | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:13] Not familiar with it sorry, try search for, "Change theme Mate" perhaps? [15:14] ioria https://termbin.com/cnk0 [15:15] Aethereal, cd /usr/share/wayland-sessions and sudo mv gnome.desktop gnome.desktop.back [15:17] ioria done, no changes. [15:18] Aethereal, sudo apt autopurge , what gives ? [15:19] ioria 0 to remove. I purged several times after removing waydroid [15:20] Aethereal, please, paste : cat /etc/gdm3/custom.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:21] ioria https://termbin.com/1b8r [15:24] Aethereal, is lightdm installed ? dpkg -l | grep lightdm [15:24] "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg " --> " sudo grub-install /dev/sda1 " --> "Installation finished. No error reported." [15:25] Am I missing boot flags on that partition perhaps? How do I set them? [15:25] ioria I get 4 entries, so I suppose it is [15:26] Aethereal, dpkg -l | grep mutter-common | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:27] 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 [15:28] The answer was "efi" tomreyn [15:28] oh ravage told you alread [15:29] is there an app like speccy (that's for windows) but to see specs of my system on ubuntu? forgive me for the newbness. :-) [15:29] ioria https://termbin.com/3etg [15:29] Chunkyz : you can use settings -> about [15:29] !info inxi | Chunkyz [15:29] Aethereal, dpkg -l | grep mutter-common | nc termbin.com 999 [15:29] Chunkyz: inxi (3.3.06-1-1, impish): full featured system information script. In component universe, is extra. Built by inxi. Size 244 kB / 1,116 kB [15:29] wseadmin|afk-ish: did you mount all file systems before ran grub-mkconfig? [15:29] Aethereal, sorry .... [15:30] wseadmin|afk-ish: incl. the virtual ones? [15:30] Aethereal, it's wrong; you didn't purge waydroid [15:30] !info inxi | frost-core [15:30] frost-core: not using gnome. but thanks. lotuspsychje I'll look, thanks dude. [15:30] Persuader: post your errors on a pastebin [15:30] Aethereal, focal 20.04 version is 3.36.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 [15:30] 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] Chunkyz : what de then?, i can tell you the about page of it [15:31] or use inxi in terminal [15:31] Aethereal, you have 3.38.4-1 and it's not an ubuntu package [15:31] 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] wseadmin|afk-ish: what happened after install, after you removed the installer usb stick, and tried to boot? [15:31] frost-core: i3-wm. inxi works though. :-) [15:32] Aethereal, sure; you need to purge all the external pkgs that come with waydroid [15:32] About to try again tomreyn they are going on a smoke break. [15:33] Aethereal, apt-forktracer | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:33] Aethereal, you probably need to install apt-forktracer [15:38]
