[00:24] Hi for setting up a service on a subdomain that exists on a separate server from the host that serves the root domain, I am required to use CORS [00:24] according to these docs, i need to set the access-control-allow-origin header to * [00:24] doesn't that pose security concerns? is there a better way to do this? [00:24] https://github.com/SourceRT/dock-matrix/blob/master/docs/configuring-well-known.md [00:26] BinarySavior: That's potentially better-asked in #ubuntu-server. [00:26] I'm not familiar with CORS myself. [00:27] BinarySavior: just point the subdomain to the ip of the separate server [00:28] there *are* concerns.. https://www.pivotpointsecurity.com/blog/cross-origin-resource-sharing-security/ [00:31] leftyfb, i did that, the service is matrix and it requires the root domain to verify with a .well-known json [00:33] BinarySavior: Sorry, I'm not familiar with either of those scenarios. Regardless, your question isn't really related to ubuntu and is a general technology/service/design question [00:37] hi :) [00:37] Seems like lots of cheap USB ethernet adapters are "Kontron DM9601 USB Ethernet Adapter" under the hood, and they all have MAC 00:e0:4c:53:44:58 albeit I sourced them from different vendors. I found a tutorial on how to deal with them on https://karser.dev/same-mac-kontron-dm9601/ ; maybe we should include a fix in Ubuntu by default, what do you think? [00:37] yerf [00:42] Sven_vB: Seems as though that requires knowing the MAC address for each one, so that's not something that can be done with a blanket setting. I was going to tell you to file a bug report, but it's too device-specific. [00:43] Oh wait, they share the same mac address. [00:43] That's a security nightmare either way. [00:44] what do you mean by security nightmare? [00:44] Two identical mac addresses on the same network is a no-no. [00:45] yes, even more it's a routing problem with my hub apparently [00:45] Exactly. It's asking for packet collisions and misrouting. [00:45] the tutorial assigns new MACs based on USB path, I'll probably randomize the last 3 bytes so it works even if the USB numbers happen to match up accross hosts [00:45] i made the mistake of thinking i had more disk space than I had, and now I have to clear a bunch of stuff to finish apt upgrading [00:46] is it safe to delete /var/log/journal contents? [00:46] Sven_vB: Either way, that's not something that can be done by default in Ubuntu. [00:47] Eickmeyer, an official fix would probably need its own legitimately registered MAC pool to pull from. is that the obstacle? [00:47] semitones: try to edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf and set SystemMaxUse=100M or so [00:47] Sven_vB: Yes, very much so. [00:47] and restart the service [00:47] the 3 big places I could delete are: /var/log/journal, the old kernels, and /var/cache/apt/archives [00:47] that will clean up the logs ins a safe way [00:47] thanks for the advice [00:47] Sven_vB: I'd recommend talking about this sort of thing in #networking . They'd have more insight. [00:47] and /var/cache/apt/archives is safe to clean [00:48] Eickmeyer, OTOH, there are privacy options to randomize MAC in WiFi. can't we use that? [00:49] good idea, maybe I'll do that another time. for now I'm ok with my rogue hack I guess. [00:49] hello I am a seedbox operator, 18.04.6-desktop-amd64's torrent is reporting that the tracker is blocking the requested download . I still see it as the latest torrent to seed via https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads . issues at the tracker or is a release pending? [00:49] Ravage, what is the service called? I tried journal and journald [00:50] systemd-journald [00:50] thanks! [00:50] Sven_vB: FYI, Wifi MAC randomizations are part of the spec. Wired ethernet typically has the MAC address hard-coded in the firmware of the interface. [00:51] oh I see. thanks for that hint. [00:51] webchat76: Are you talking about the mini.iso? [00:52] i think he is talking about https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [00:52] webchat76: Nvm. [00:52] Can I remove the lib/modules/oldkernel/drivers folder before doing sudo apt --fix-broken-install [00:52] Eickmeyer ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso [00:52] or will that cause problems too [00:52] webchat76: The link is there for me. Try refreshing your torrent with the .torrent file provided. [00:52] every once in a while my desktop on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS malfunctions and when I login it acts like I'm logging in and then I'm back to a login screen again. What are some troubleshooting steps I can take here? [00:53] Eickmeyer I pulled the latest torrent file via https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.6-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent and my client accepted it, but no change in trackers [00:53] webchat76: Your main source of truth is here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ [00:54] webchat76: Otherwise, I'm afraid nobody in here is going to have an answer to your questions as nobody in here maintains those. [00:54] Nobody here maintains https://torrent.ubuntu.com/announce ? can you point me in the direction of who may it looks like an issue at the tracker [00:54] Nope, that's not done here. That's done by Canonical, and they're all off for the weekend. Sorry. [00:54] ooooo [00:55] Eickmeyer understandable, it's probably transient. I will report back monday if the tracker is still down. the issue is anyone pulling that torrent wont get the file. Other Ubuntu torrents are reporting to tracker A OK. I am always seeding out ubuntu stuff [00:55] This chat is manned by volunteers, webchat76. [00:55] @eck [00:55] whoops [00:55] Eickmeyer I totally understand, was starting here to figure out who / where I might need to report it [00:55] thanks for seeding webchat76 :) [00:56] Volunteers aren't going to have access to the infrastructure, webchat76. [00:56] It'll probably resolve itself by Monday, webchat76. [00:56] Eickmeyer makes sense. Like I said I figured I'd start in IRC tho [00:56] I agree [00:57] anyway thanks for the help. I'll keep an eye on it and hope it just bounces back [00:58] semitones: using rm on system files and directories is usually never the correct answer [00:59] semitones: once you resolve your issue you should reinstall the kernels you manually deleted and remove them properly with apt [00:59] semitones: how big of a partition are we talking about ? [00:59] i know :/ but I cannot apt autoremove. I did -fix-broken, and hopefully there is enough disk space to complete that now that the journals are mostly deleted. Then I can remove the kernels. I can't remove them now because apt is broken [00:59] leftyfb, 11 GB [00:59] well [01:00] 10.9 :/ [01:00] That should be plenty of space. You filled it up with other things [01:01] this is with ubuntu studio but honestly I should figure out how to uninstall those programs because it is not safe having it this full [01:01] semitones: you should after removing kernels and shrinking your journal you should have enough space to remove packages one at a time [01:01] i didn't have to rm the kernels, glad I didn't have to [01:01] semitones: can you install and use ncdu? [01:02] hold on, apt autoremoving [01:02] ok now I have 1.5 G available. looking up ncdu [01:03] it is already installed but idk how to use it [01:03] sudo ncdu -x / [01:04] that should tell you where most of your space is being taken up [01:04] I’m guessing most of it is in your home [01:05] i'm in a file browser in the terminal. THere is a gui that does this [01:05] i have 5.8 GB in usr 2.6 in lib, 1.3 in var, and the rest is less [01:06] yes ubuntu comes with a gui tool for that [01:06] 216 mb in home [01:06] i still prefer the terminal [01:07] in ncdu i'm stuck in the home folder i guess i forgot to type the / [01:07] maybe ubuntu studio just comes with a lot of stuff [01:07] i never used it [01:07] ok i got it now === yang_qwq1 is now known as yang_qwq [01:07] yeah I guess so [01:08] if you're curious Ravage here is the output https://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:08] uh [01:08] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WTsKrkd4HG/ [01:09] you can check the subfolders but i dont think you will find a lot you can just delete [01:09] semitones: Ubuntu Studio leader here. What are you trying to remove? Non-audio stuff? [01:11] semitones: drill down to /usr my guess is you have multiple kernels and their related files installed and should work on cleaning up older kernels [01:11] Also, running Ubuntu studio on only 11gb? [01:11] Ooof, yeah, that's way too small for Studio. [01:11] yeah, now I know. I think i installed it in 2016 [01:12] I ended up not using any of the studio things on this device [01:12] semitones: ah, so you’re running an EOL release and need to upgrade anyway [01:12] i'm upgraded [01:12] leftyfb: Don't be so quick to assume. ;) [01:12] semitones: not if you installed it in 2016 [01:12] it was tricky but this channel helped upgrade to 20.04 awhile ago, and i had barely enough space [01:12] I had to remove all the snap stuff and some other things [01:12] ugh [01:13] All this work for an 11g install [01:13] it is on a microsoft surface so I'm not confident I can get it working if I reinstall :/ [01:13] it was a headache with all the uefi and secure boot and custom kernel [01:13] * leftyfb taps out [01:13] that's probably smart, i'll just look around in synaptic and remove things [01:15] semitones: Another thing that might help is if you go through each of the ubuntustudio-* metapackages and find their dependencies/recommends and remove each one one-by-one via synaptic. [01:15] semitones: For instance, ubuntustudio-graphics: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/ubuntustudio-graphics [01:16] thanks, I'll start there [01:16] semitones: I wish it were as simple as, for example, "sudo apt autoremove ubuntustudio-graphics" but it wasn't installed via a metapackage but rather the germinate seed. [01:17] In the future, I might make a script that removes stuff based on the contents of the metapackages, but for now, this is what we've got. :) [01:17] I appreciate the support, this is definitely a good way out of this problem of my own making :) [01:18] semitones: And I'd seriously consider repartitioning that drive to get more than 11GB. :) === Guest2310 is now known as krabador [01:18] oof, 11gb filesystem? that'll be tight.. [01:18] I'll see what I can do [01:19] sarnold: Especially for Studio. ;) [01:19] if you can install anything :) then the orphaner tool may help [01:19] checking it out [01:19] if you've got any snaps installed on that filesystem, it might be worth trying to figure out how to keep fewer snaps installed, too [01:20] snapd by default keeps two or three copies of everything so it can roll back bad updates [01:25] i think we removed all the snaps last time [01:28] hah [01:30] Eickmeyer, removing the papirus icons is helping [01:33] I can’t imagine icons take up much space [01:35] 200+ mb [01:35] i found a good one: remove the fluid synth, and it removes a lot of things [01:36] i don't really need libreoffice [01:38] i'm making progress, but the biggest area I don't understand is 1.3 GB: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu [01:40] Those are files related to your kernel(s) [01:40] DO NOT delete those with rm [01:41] yeah don't delete those manually; purge packages you don't use, if you want to clean that up a bit, but do *not* treat that directory as one big homogenous entity [01:41] semitones: drill down, are there more than 1 kernel directories ? [01:42] (btw those are libraries, not kernels) [01:42] good advice let me look what has remained [01:42] You can purge kernels you aren’t using, but if there’s only 1 kernel, I wouldn’t touch anything in that directory [01:42] i kept 2 kernels for posterity, but removed the lowlatency kernels [01:42] sarnold: I said files related to the kernels [01:44] nothing relating to the kernels stands out. I think I can probably remove JACK though [01:45] that also removes a LOT of packages [01:46] leftyfb, what files would I be looking for? I don't see much about the kernels in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu [01:46] semitones: from what I understand, studio uses Jack for sound as opposed to pulse audio. If you don’t have pulse installed, removing Jack will remove your sound capabilities [01:47] can i just apt install pulseaudio [01:48] You can, but over never known pulse to be that easy to get running from a system that didn’t have it already [01:48] hmm maybe I will leave jack alone for the time being [01:50] can I uninstall gcc? I don't have an nvidia gfx card, so I don't think I need to compile any dkms modules [01:52] yeah, probably; most people don't need it; be sure to keep going, delete eg gcc-10 or gcc-9 or whatever other packages you've got installed; maybe you've got some -dev packages installed that don't need, too; dpkg -l '*-dev' | grep '^ii' might be useful, too [01:52] if I removed libreoffice already, can i delete /var/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreoffice [01:52] that's a good idea with the -dev [01:52] i've started sorting by "installed" with synaptic [01:52] try dpkg -S /var/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreoffice -- that might show packages that own files there [01:54] there are some things that depend on some of gcc that seem important, like acpi stuff [01:54] hmm [01:54] pastebin what you see? [01:54] sure [01:55] specifically gcc-10-base [01:56] leftyfb: That's false, it uses Pulseaudio by default, and Jack on demand using Studio Controls to do the configuring. [01:56] semitones: ^ [01:56] so it is ok to remove jack? [01:57] semitones: If you don't do professional audio work, sure. But it's so small it's negligible. [01:57] Wouldn't help your cause. [01:57] Eickmeyer, ok [01:57] * Eickmeyer is out for the evening [01:58] semitones: probably best to leave gcc-10-base alone -- it looks like it owns just a few files and none of them are large, but it's a dependency on something that looks like it ought to stick around [01:59] thanks :) [01:59] ok, yeah, it's doing different things in apt than it was in synaptic, but none of them good so I'll leave it alone [02:05] someday I'm going to need to give ubuntu studio a disk all to itself [02:05] and buy a usb-interface [02:09] I think i have removed almost as much as possible this time; I have about 4.1 GB available, according to df -h [02:09] nice [02:09] now bust out orphaner [02:09] Eickmeyer: sorry about that. I did preface with “from what I understand”. I understood wrong === henry404082 is now known as henry40408 [02:11] oh this is great [02:15] whew ok now I will reboot and see if I still have a system [02:16] good luck :) [02:17] what have i done [02:17] i miss ubuntu-studio already; everything is high-dpi small now, and looks like xfce [02:17] d'oh :) [02:17] too many changes in one go [02:18] ok fixed some of the scaling maybe [02:18] I am coding a 2D rpg puzzle game anyone want to see it?

[02:23] maybe i can install ubuntu-studio again [02:25] semitones: if you’re not working with audio, why would you? You just spent all this time and effort deleting it to free up space [02:25] because everything on my screen is small [02:25] and I don't have the unity dock thing anymore [02:26] it is 330 mb to install it again === M4he is now known as mahe [02:35] Ok [02:36] Something I did messed up update-grub and I don't have any Ubuntu boot options any more [02:36] So I'm researching how to boot without a boot entry, but maybe at this point it's best to call it a night [02:36] ouch :/ [02:37] there's handy logs in /var/log/apt/ and /var/log/dkpg.log -- the dpkg ones are way harder to read but cover more operations [02:37] they may help you figure out what was too important to delete [02:39] I’m guessing some kernel or initrd got deleted [02:40] something pulled in ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings [02:40] that broke update grub, and I thouught i fixed it by rm /etc/grub.d/09_lowlatency [02:41] but when i ran update-grub again it 'succeeded' but i didn't realize it didn't find any ubuntu kernels... [02:57] can't remember the name of my root partition it is one of those /dev/nm020x things not a sensible one [02:59] but! luckily i have a boot entry that doesn't work any more, but it DOES have the uuid string for the correct partition [02:59] so I just have to copy it letter by letter [03:00] do uuids tab-complete? [03:03] semitones, tab completion is contextual. The easiest way to find out is by pressing tab. And you could copy/paste [03:04] i don't know how to copy/paste in grub [03:08] WHOOHOO i'm in the mainframe [03:11] update-grub is still not pulling in any linux kernels :( [03:14] hmm [03:15] for some reason /etc/grub.d/10_linux is not marked as executable [03:15] chmod +x [03:15] phew [03:15] that fixed it.

[15:12] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1021405/where-does-gnome-to-do-stores-its-file-by-default [15:14] oerheks: wow, ty === Jubes8 is now known as Jubes === lilgopher_ is now known as biggopher === biggopher is now known as bigGopher === bigGopher is now known as help === help is now known as bigGopher === toozej855 is now known as toozej85 [17:38] do i need a swap as i am using 32GB RAM? [17:39] Guest39: no [17:39] so i don't need a like a swap partition or file or anything? [17:40] Guest39: unless you're running a server where you know you'll be running some really memory-intensive application(s) and your swap space on is some reason fast SSD. In which case, you probably wouldn't be asking this question. [17:41] oh no yeah i just want to browse and stuff [17:41] thanks [17:41] Guest39: them 32G is overkill and years of headroom [17:41] i might want to like install steam or smth [17:42] should i take out some RAM or is it okay to keep it all in there? [17:42] it's ok to leave it [17:43] thanks [17:43] I have a folder with thousands of files, is there a way to save the thumbnails generated. Everytime I open the folder it has to load the thumbnailsb [17:45] ghost: can you better describe your issue? You're asking if there is a way to save the thumbnails that are generated (yes, don't delete them) but then are complaining that "it has to load the thumbnails" [17:48] So, every time I open the folder the files show blank and it takes roughly 50m to generate all the thumbnails. If I close the folder and reopen it the thumbnails are gone and it starts regenerating [17:49] Is there a way to have the filesystem (nautilus) rember the thumbnails cache [17:52] ghost: https://davejansen.com/increase-thumbnail-cache-in-ubuntu/ [17:53] Thank you [18:02] Hello everyone, i just made a fresh ubuntu install and updated all my packages, however when i open my laptop lid the pc doesnt wakeup === diskin_ is now known as diskin [18:20] I'm on ubuntu 20.04 and using Wayland. I'm not sure what "window manager" I'm using. I'd like to be able to move windows with the keyboard, like I used to do when I used OpenBox. In particular, I want to move windows horizontally instead of having them take up half the screen when I push Super-left or Super-right. === lotuspsychje__ is now known as lotuspsychje [18:27] plujon: for tweaking your system, try dconf-editor to find the right value for the setting you looking for [18:30] lotuspsychje: Thanks, um, such as, "org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings Move Window to right side of screen" ? [18:31] plujon: not sure myself, i dont use hotkeys too much [18:31] a.k.a. /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-side-e [18:31] plujon: i found a nice workspaces indicator that serves all my needs gui [18:33] These values look a lot like the ones in Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts [18:33] AFAICT, there is no option to move a window left or right without resizing it. [18:35] plujon: That would make sense if the window were full scren. [19:11] hello, so i was creating software raid 1: sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md2 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd but i forgot to add --assume-clean [19:11] what should i do? [19:12] should i just wait .. 8 hours or somehow stop the sync and rerun with --assume-clean? [19:12] if stop sync, how should i do it? === vit is now known as freeworld [19:18] I don't know about raid [19:18] Do you have backups? [19:18] What is it doing that is taking so long [19:22] chipas: that's up to you. It's just skipping over writing 0's [21:42] Wow! More than two hours~ [21:44] jhutchins: ? [21:46] Dead air. Great use of resources! [21:48] yep, it's not what it used to be [21:49] Must mean most problems are fixed [21:49] I wonder what could have discouraged people from using this channel? [21:50] me? [21:56] I am running across a privilege issue on Ubuntu 20.04 while trying to access Tripwire. Specifically this command. https://pastebin.com/MG8hGrtq [21:57] GreasyHairyNewb: how did you install tripwire? [21:57] leftyfb sudo apt-get install tripwire [21:58] GreasyHairyNewb: ls -l /var/lib/tripwire/server-01.twd [21:58] No such file or directory. [21:58] GreasyHairyNewb: https://computingforgeeks.com/install-and-configure-tripwire-on-ubuntu/ [21:59] the instructions seem to imply that is normal and part of the process [22:02] leftyfb I have been using the exact guide. After that part of the tutorial it tells me I can print the database as so https://pastebin.com/L5wYGUKp [22:03] I still do not have access it seems [22:03] Oh wait. One moment sorry [22:04] Hmm.. Double brain fart. I am lost still. [22:04] don't literally type /path/to/database.twd; instead you should put the path to your actual databise file [22:05] enigma9o7[m] Oh wow.. I am such an idiot right now. Thank you... [22:07] After fixing the newb issue. I still have privilege issues https://pastebin.com/dwW5RyQk [22:08] enigma9o7 Any ideas? [22:14] Hi, I'm running 18.04 and I just started seeing this "df: /run/user/1000/doc: Operation not permitted" [22:16] I see this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1227667/df-command-throws-error-on-run-user-1000-doc-folder [22:17] should I remove flatpak? [22:17] the end of that thread says it was fixed in gnulib [22:18] in june 2021 [22:19] syphyr: pretty sure you answered your own question. It probably makes sense to upgrade to 20.04 anyway [22:19] why doesnt focal-backports have ffmpeg? [22:21] focal-updates has it [22:22] https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal-backports/allpackages has cockpit! [22:24] enigma9o7[m]: not as new as i need it [22:24] !latest | MiguelX413 [22:24] MiguelX413: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [22:24] should i just install the impish .deb for ffmpeg for now? [22:24] That is not recommended [22:24] Did you check for a snap? [22:25] leftyfb: i'm not looking for latest, im looking for a version that came out in mid 2020 [22:26] focal has 4.2.4, and i need 4.3.2+ [22:26] there are 4.3.1 and a 4.4.1 nightly as snap [22:27] hmmmmmmmmmmmm [22:27] i wonder if it'd work well with my application [22:28] tfw debian stable actually has a newer version of ffmpeg [22:28] Well that kinda makes sense doesn't it. Ubuntu LTS was 2020-04. Debian STable was 2021-09 I think [22:29] that makes sense actually yeah [22:30] there are also PPAs providing newer versions for 20.04 [22:32] tomreyn: ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4? [22:33] MiguelX413: i don't remember which ones, just noticed there are some with recent builds on a quick glance. [22:34] Also in a couple months there will be a new Ubuntu LTS which will surely have much newer stuff than the current LTS too...
