[00:03] <sybariten> Chunkyz: hmm that's true
[00:39] <Chunkyz> where is the cache stored for apt-get downloads?
[00:40] <sarnold> /var/cache/apt/archives/
[00:40] <Chunkyz> safe to delete them?
[00:40] <sarnold> yeah, the apt clean and apt autoclean tools make it super-easy :)
[00:41] <Chunkyz> can I delete the folder or do I need to do 1 by 1
[00:41] <sarnold> just use the apt subcommands
[00:42] <sarnold> I hope apt knows how to recreate the directory correctly if you delete that, but there's easy tools right there..
[00:42] <Chunkyz> thanks.
[00:55] <Chunkyz> Thanks 👍👍👍👍 saved me 1gb of space
[01:00] <Bashing-om> Chunkyz: There is also ' sudo apt autoremove ' that deletes what the package manager thinks as no longer needed.
[04:13] <Sven_vB> on some of my focal machones, /etc/resolv.conf points to ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf. shouldn't it point to ../run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf instead? because that one has my DNS IPs in it. do I need to fix that manually on all affected machines? is it a one-time fix or will it happen on new installs, too?
[04:15] <matsaman> https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd-resolved.8#/ETC/RESOLV.CONF
[04:19] <Sven_vB> thanks!
[04:21] <Sven_vB> oh. I see. now DNS works, before I even fixed anything. so I guess the failure earlier was something else.
[04:23] <Sven_vB> and my old "list all DNS servers" script fails because it only checks NetworkManager connections, whereas the purpose of my new config is to have DNS be independent from which connection I use. can I still query NM for the DNS IPs, should I just grep them from /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, or is there an even better way?
[04:37] <Sven_vB> found resolvectl
[05:54] <cryptobug> hey yah all
[05:54] <cryptobug> patch all ubuntu now
[05:54] <cryptobug> is version unknown bug
[05:54] <cryptobug> apt update all
[06:36] <Guest42> i is using lutris to play games on linux
[06:36] <Guest42> my trouble is i have an old installer for a game called transport tycoon
[06:36] <Guest42> how i install it with lutris?
[06:36] <Guest42> it's exe file
[06:37] <Guest42> i see tutorials but don't understand
[08:36] <recyclehero> hi, when I connect to a wireless network in GUI. scripts in /etc/network/if-up.d doesnt run
[08:36] <recyclehero> I put echo something > ./somefile
[08:41] <osse> recyclehero: ls -l /etc/network/if-up.d/somefile
[08:42] <osse> also the file should start with #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash
[08:43] <recyclehero> osse: I meant the script conent is #!/bin/bash /n echo something > ./somefile which is placed in /etc/networks/if-up.d/somescript
[08:44] <osse> ok
[08:44] <osse> is /etc/networks/if-up.d/somescript executable?
[08:45] <recyclehero> yes
[08:45] <osse> what happens if you change the script to echo something > /home/recyclehero/somefile ?
[08:48] <recyclehero> it works
[08:48] <recyclehero> thanks
[08:48] <recyclehero> which user run the script?
[08:48] <recyclehero> can I use sudo
[08:48] <recyclehero> ?
[08:49] <recyclehero> what is the IF_OPENVPN in the openvpn script in up directory? I couldnt find it
[08:49] <recyclehero> printenv | grep IF_OPENVPN
[08:54] <osse> recyclehero: I don't know which user, but I guess it's your user
[08:55] <osse> the problem was the current directory. you are probably not allowed to write there

[10:33] <Wamphyri> lets say i want to mount \\192.168.200.200\alan\     using one set of credentials that would be different compared to \\192.168.200.200\andrew\ , so each folder would need its own username / password. can samba do that? if so whats it called and where is the faq? lol
[10:34] <Mathisen> Wamphyri, just create more users and add the share for that user
[10:34] <Wamphyri> and have is so each user can't see the other users folder?
[10:35] <Mathisen> yeah
[10:35] <Mathisen> smbpasswd -a foobar
[10:35] <Mathisen> then add entry for foobar in your smb.conf
[10:36] <Mathisen> like this https://bpa.st/NVLA
[10:36] <Wamphyri> what would i put into the smb.conf?
[10:37] <Mathisen> and after you add that entry you restart your samba service or reboot
[10:37] <Mathisen> systemctl restart samba
[10:38] <Wamphyri> thank you
[10:41] <cryptobug> all ubuntu
[10:41] <cryptobug> is absolute now
[10:41] <cryptobug> except kubuntu
[10:41] <cryptobug> good luck
[10:41] <Wamphyri> huh
[10:42] <Mathisen> it is chat bot ignore it
[10:42] <Mathisen> been baned from multiple channels already
[10:42] <Wamphyri> lol ok
[10:43] <Wamphyri> \\192.168.168.168\Share1 you might not have permission to use this network resource.
[10:47] <Mathisen> if you did what i said it should have worked. but im gonna back of if there is more to it on ubuntu. atleast on debian thats how i always do it. so someone else more specialized on ubuntu may comment on this
[10:48] <Wamphyri> samba is samba it should be pretty close to across the same lol
[10:48] <Mathisen> assuming the share exist and the user got access to it
[10:55] <kristian_on_linu> hi all
[10:55] <Chunkyz> How can I see *why* my USB3 external hdd every now an then disconnects?
[10:55] <kristian_on_linu> Firefox 98.0.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 ... I use a website that insists on hiding the scrollbars, which is driving me nuts! What can I do?
[10:56] <Mathisen> Chunkyz, dmesg
[10:56] <Chunkyz> Mathisen: anything I can grep?
[10:56] <Mathisen> Chunkyz, just tail dmesg and unplug and plug it in and it will show it
[10:56] <Mathisen> same will happen if it suddenly dc
[10:56] <Mathisen> and then you can grep after what it shows
[10:57] <Chunkyz> thanks! :-)
[10:57] <Mathisen> kristian_on_linu, hiding the scrollbar ? mind pm me the url ?
[10:58] <kristian_on_linu> Mathisen, I need to *unhide* ... and I can't share the URL, it is something confidential that I log into :(
[10:59] <EriC^^> Chunkyz: dmesg -w , easy way to follow it real-time
[10:59] <Chunkyz> I'll check when it next d/cs :-) thanks EriC^^
[11:00] <EriC^^> no problem
[11:02] <Mathisen> kristian_on_linu, i dont realy understand what you mean when you say it hides it :(
[11:02] <kristian_on_linu> you have to scroll over the bar to see it
[11:02] <Mathisen> if it only one website then the site is made to do it
[11:03] <kristian_on_linu> I want it there all the time ... I found an extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-scrollbars/) ... but it does not seem to work
[11:03] <Mathisen> turning off java script would probably stop it of hideing , but that will also probably break the websites functions depending on site
[11:04] <kristian_on_linu> hurm
[11:09] <Wamphyri> omg i wanna shoot samba
[11:10] <cryptobug> kubuntu remember
[11:10] <cryptobug> that's all
[11:10] <cryptobug> and server
[11:10] <Wamphyri> yeah ok
[11:12] <Mathisen> Wamphyri, what have you done so far to test it
[11:13] <Mathisen> the share exist ? and whatever user have access to it right ?
[11:13] <Wamphyri> yeah i'm sharing the home folder of accounts
[11:13] <Wamphyri> so lets say /home/wamphyri/odoo
[11:14] <Wamphyri> sharing that
[11:14] <NeoFAT32> As Justin Bieber said, never say never.
[11:14] <Wamphyri> i have access to it
[11:14]  * NeoFAT32 is hiding behind a cactus.
[11:14] <Chunkyz> NeoFAT32: can we help with something? this *is* a support channel. take your offtopic to: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:15] <Mathisen> Wamphyri, hmm yeah that should work right away
[11:16] <Wamphyri> yeah, you would hope lol
[11:16] <Mathisen> Wamphyri, and it accepts you user/pass when trying to login to the share and then gives the error ?
[11:17] <Wamphyri> can't access \\192.192.192.192
[11:17] <Wamphyri> if i type in \\192.192.192.192\share_yadda
[11:17] <Wamphyri> it asks for user name and password
[11:18] <Wamphyri> BUT it's grabbing my AD information
[11:18] <Chunkyz> set your samba password: sudo smbpasswd -a *username*
[11:18] <Wamphyri> yup
[11:19] <Chunkyz> then restart samba: sudo systemctl restart smbd
[11:19] <Wamphyri> root@edata:/etc/samba# service smbd stop
[11:19] <Wamphyri> root@edata:/etc/samba# service smbd start
[11:19] <Wamphyri> root@edata:/etc/samba#
[11:19] <Wamphyri> just did
[11:20] <cubic10> I've got a support question :)
[11:20] <cubic10> I am booting into Ubuntu on a Pi4, which is located on an SSD on the usb 3 port. 90% of the time, everything loads properly on boot. But occasionally, there is some error with the USB ports getting addressed properly, and the file system never loads. So eventually the busybox shell comes up. First, I am confused about exactly what is going on here,
[11:20] <cubic10> because the boot loader recognized the USB ports, and it seems at least some things loaded from the SSD. Because busy box loaded, and this is part of the Ubuntu side of things, right? But then something went wrong and the file system was unable to finish loading?
[11:20] <cubic10> My question is: Is there a way to have it reboot automatically from the busy box shell?
[11:20] <Mathisen> Wamphyri, try to mount it in terminal as a test to whatever folder
[11:20] <Mathisen> Wamphyri, sudo mount -t cifs //192.192.192.192/foobar ~/folder_to_mount_to -o user=foobar
[11:23] <Wamphyri> Mathisen, mount: /srvs: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.
[11:26] <Mathisen> Wamphyri, install cifs-utils
[11:27] <Wamphyri> it assked me for a password
[11:27] <Wamphyri> entered it in and thats it lol
[11:27] <Mathisen> nice
[11:27] <Mathisen> then the share works
[11:28] <Wamphyri> yup but i can't access it via a windows machine
[11:28] <Wamphyri> which is a must
[11:29] <Mathisen> well that should be the same thing
[11:29] <Mathisen> there is no logic for it not to work on a window machine
[11:29] <Mathisen> only thing that would prevent it is using smb1 and that you are not doing
[11:29] <Wamphyri> the windows machine is on a domain
[11:29] <Wamphyri> the linux machine is not attached to the domain
[11:30] <Mathisen> well can the windows machine ping the ip ?
[11:30] <Wamphyri> when i try and connect to the linux machine is always comes up with my domain name
[11:30] <Wamphyri> yup
[11:30] <Wamphyri> i can ssh, ftp, etc to it
[11:30] <Mathisen> is this your domain ?
[11:31] <Mathisen> set up a login script for the user in the GPO settings on the domain controller
[11:32] <Wamphyri> the company i work for lol
[11:32] <Wamphyri> lets just say its a shit show
[11:32] <Mathisen> heh ok.. well ask the domain admin then
[11:32] <Wamphyri> i can have the samba server bind to the domain, but i prefer not to
[11:32] <Mathisen> it is not ment that regular users start mounting random things
[11:32] <Mathisen> that is kinda obvious
[11:32] <Wamphyri> right, only 8 users need access to this
[11:33] <Wamphyri> i think that mount just broke my system
[11:33] <Mathisen> just unmount it
[11:33] <Mathisen> sudo umount /mount/point
[11:34] <Wamphyri> it won't
[11:34] <Mathisen> it won't ?
[11:34] <Wamphyri> yup, just hangs lol
[11:34] <Wamphyri> i have to ctrl c
[11:35] <Mathisen> ok, strange, in any case a reboot and it will not be mounted anymore
[11:35] <Wamphyri> might you i might be just getting impatient
[11:36] <Wamphyri> ever get the feeling you made a promise and now the promise is adding glue and sand to the broom handle as he looks at you with love in his eyes?
[11:36] <Wamphyri> and yeah i was just being impatient
[11:37] <cubic10> Chunkyz: any ideas?
[11:41] <Wamphyri> Mathisen, do you have any global configuration with your samba?
[11:43] <Mathisen> nope just the default stuff like workgroup and interface
[11:43] <Chunkyz> cubic10: ideas to what?
[11:46] <cubic10> Chunkyz: I posted a question
[11:46] <Chunkyz> And? what do you want me to do?
[11:47] <cubic10> Help me if you knew the answer :)
[11:47] <Chunkyz> !patience | cubic10
[11:48] <cubic10> When the filesystem fails to properly load, and the busy box shell comes up, is there anyway to make the system automatically reboot? Like, is there a way to have busy box run crontab?
[11:49] <Chunkyz> You're probably using too much power from the USB3 ports on your RPI...
[11:50] <cubic10> Yes, that probably is the underlying issue. But it works 9 out of 10 times. So if there was a way to have it automatically reboot from busy box, it would resolve 90% of the time on the first reboot :)
[11:51] <Chunkyz> No.
[11:51] <cubic10> No way to make it auto reboot?
[11:51] <Chunkyz> Nope, fix your USB3 power hogging.
[11:55] <cubic10> The interesting thing is the bootloader is doing just fine
[11:55] <Wamphyri> cubic10, think of busy box as safe mode, if you need it to do something beyond its intentions you'll need to grab the source, and program it in then re-create the iso to support that busy box.. (i think thats about right)
[11:56] <Wamphyri> Mathisen, should i add samba to the domain?
[11:58] <cubic10> Wamphyri: That makes sense. So there are no user configurable settings for busy box?
[11:58] <Wamphyri> nope
[11:58] <Wamphyri> just ment for recovery
[12:00] <cubic10> or any settings at all that get loaded before busy box comes up? Because I would also be happy if it would just reboot instead of going into the 'safe mode'
[12:02] <Wamphyri> this is reminding me of conversations with my 15 year old, lol hey dad lemmi ask you the same question 1000 different ways lol
[12:03] <Wamphyri> cubic10, its not designed like that, once kernel hits a panic it goes busy box
[12:03] <linux> hallow
[12:03] <cubic10> okay. thanks
[12:04] <linux> mypooo
[12:05] <linux> mebey
[12:06] <cubic10> btw, I'm not sure I would describe my situation as a panic, because it actually tries for about 5 minutes to find the file system, and then it says "I give up" -> busy box
[12:06] <cubic10> I'm just not very familiar with the early stages of the the boot process
[12:09] <Slartibart> All of a sudden sound is played at a lower speed than it should be, when I listen to web radio it sounds like the songs are played in slow motion. Anyone experienced this? Can I try reinstalling the sound drivers?
[12:12] <cubic10> Wamphyri: Do you know the name of the process that has successfully loaded?
[12:12] <cubic10> (loaded enough to present busy box?)
[12:13] <Wamphyri> cubic10, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/59018/create-and-control-start-up-scripts-in-busybox
[12:13] <Wamphyri> enjoy
[12:13] <cubic10> ty
[12:14] <Wamphyri> make a backup of your iso
[12:23] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:23] <Chunkyz> BluesKaj: can we help with something?
[12:29] <Slartibart> It seems there's something wrong with my normal sound output, if I change the output to one with a different driver the sound is played at the correct speed. Inxi output for the bad one is "Device-3: Micro Star USB Audio type: USB driver: hid-generic,snd-usb-audio,usbhid". Can I somehow reset(?) that driver?
[12:43] <Wamphyri> Mathisen, well i can see the drve, i can access the drive. but i can also access everyone elses
[12:46] <codez> Slartibar: try bringing up alsamixer in terminal
[12:46] <codez> and see if there's anything you can change/set there to sort it
[12:47] <rob0> another suggestion is to check modinfo(8) for the relevant modules, perhaps you can tweak the driver
[13:01] <Payam54> hi
[13:02] <Payam54> I can not install anything and get this error: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." and when I type that command the whole computer freezes.
[13:03] <wez> Hi Payam541
[13:04] <Payam54> Hi wez
[13:04] <tomreyn> Payam54: run this: cat /proc/version && lsb_release -ds    - what does it output?
[13:04] <wez> Payam54: Is it freezing to give you the time to enter in your sudo password?
[13:05] <Payam54> tomreyn : Linux version 5.4.0-90-generic (buildd@lcy01-amd64-026) (gcc version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04)) #101~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 22 09:25:04 UTC 2021 Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
[13:05] <Payam54> wez no it does do some lines and then stucks at one point
[13:05] <Payam54> something with configurating kernel
[13:06] <tomreyn> can you take a photo and upload it to imgur.com (or similar)?
[13:07] <Payam54> tomreyn I am using remote desktop. I already asked multiple people to restart my computer :(
[13:08] <tomreyn> oh, i see
[13:08] <tomreyn> then run this and post the url it returns here for now: dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:08] <wez> tomreyn: Yeah, imgur or preferably something with less ads
[13:09] <tomreyn> wez: namely?
[13:10] <Payam54> wez: I did
[13:10] <wez> tomreyn: Self hosted Apache server
[13:11] <tomreyn> Payam54: good, whats the http address that was printed?
[13:11] <Payam54> tomreyn I did. Nothing happens
[13:11] <Payam54> I am waiting
[13:11] <tomreyn> wez: i dont think its a good time to ask Payam54 to set one up now
[13:11] <wez> tomreyn: Why not?
[13:11] <Enissay> I have an issue with filezilla, it works fine, but when I am on VPN (local access only not internet), it just refuses to start... Any idea how to fix ?
[13:12] <Payam54> tomreyn Do you want me to paste the output of dmesg?
[13:12] <tomreyn> Payam54: can you try again? this should print a http address normally:   dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:12] <Payam54> it is computer company. maybe the ports are closed
[13:13] <Payam54> computer froze
[13:13] <tomreyn> Payam54: hmm, i guess this will need to be handled on site.
[13:13] <wez> Enissay: Does scp or rsync still work?
[13:13] <tomreyn> likely a hardware problem
[13:14] <wez> Payam54: Throw it in the bin and stop buying DELLs
[13:14] <Payam54> tomreyn someone accidently turned off my pc
[13:14] <Payam54> haha
[13:14] <Payam54> I will try it again
[13:15] <Enissay> wez: I meant that the FileZilla GUI doesnt even open up. As of rsync, it works fine. scp I dont use
[13:16] <tomreyn> Enissay: try starting filezilla from a terminal emulator
[13:16] <tomreyn> see if it prints anything useful
[13:17] <Slartibart> codez, rob0: Thanks! Will check now.
[13:19] <wez> Enissay: Oh, thanks for elaberating.  Ummmm. any reason not to just use rsync?  Or are you using some advanced queueing feature?
[13:20] <Payam54> tomreyn https://pastebin.com/wejMHyLE
[13:32] <Enissay> tomreyn: It just get stuck at reading config `Reading locale option from /home/user/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml`. I tried removing that file relaunching... nothing changes
[13:34] <Enissay> wez: It actually holds my list of servers, easy to pick from there. Also, thanks to export feature, it is easy to keep multiple sessions synced (win/linux)
[13:37] <Enissay> Anyhow, for now I will just have to lunch before turning on VPN and hope I wont forget :x
[13:48] <RiFo> hello, is there a good way to turn an ubuntu installation into a virtual machine?
[13:50] <Anna28> hi
[13:52] <wez> hi
[13:53] <Anna28>  Jerk off with a random girl. Website: chica.monster
[13:55] <wez> Anna28: Sounds a bit offtopic to me
[13:55] <wez> Anna28: Although, I am not an op, so I can't confirm.
[14:11] <sprnk[m]> RiFo: what are you trying to do exactly? make a bare-metal install into a vm?
[14:12] <RiFo> sprnk[m]: yes, harddrive is about to die, and the hardware in general is ancient, not worth upgrading
[14:13] <leftyfb> RiFo: backup and fresh install
[14:13] <leftyfb> RiFo: trying to convert a bare metal install with a failing drive to a virtual machine is a fruitless effort
[14:14] <RiFo> it is not failing yet, smart is putting out the first harddrive errors, so its going to fail soon
[14:16] <leftyfb> RiFo: there are 3 states of a hard drive: 1. perfectly healthy with no alerts   2. failing with alerts, potential loss of data  3. failed, completely inaccessible
[14:20] <oerheks> bad sectors grow, over time
[14:25] <sprnk[m]> +1 for leftyfb's suggestion
[14:27] <sprnk[m]> you could make a VM on another device and rsync the files you want if that's an option
[14:32] <RiFo> Damn i just noticed i can use virtualbox itself to copy a disk into a vdi
[14:33] <RiFo> (took me a bit to get the right keywords for the search)
[14:33] <zen_coder> I want to format my USB stick, but I get following msg:
[14:34] <zen_coder> "This Partition cannot be modfied because it contains a partion table; please reinitiliaze layout of the whole device. (udisks-error-quark, 11)
[14:34] <RiFo> sprnk[m]: i found this  ((https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-convertfromraw))
[14:34] <zen_coder> on this stick I have ubuntu OS flashed
[14:35] <leftyfb> zen_coder: are you using gparted?
[14:36] <zen_coder> leftyfb: I am using normal ubtunu format function
[14:36] <leftyfb> zen_coder: use gparted (though I don't know what "normal ubuntu format function" is )
[14:40] <zen_coder> okay, this seems to works
[14:40] <zen_coder> how can i format it to exFAT with gparted?
[14:40] <zen_coder> doesnt show me any option
[14:43] <leftyfb> zen_coder: https://askubuntu.com/a/999581/1151311   first result on google for "ubuntu format exfat with gparted"
[14:45] <codez> zen_coder: install the exfat-utils
[14:45] <codez> using apt
[14:46] <leftyfb> codez: depends on the version of ubuntu as per the link I just posted
[14:53] <craigbass76> Is there a command I can use to list all of the installed printer drivers?
[14:53] <codez> ahh leftyfb kk
[15:09] <Payam49> Hi, When I try to install something what I get is : `E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. when installing kernel` when I run that command the whole computer freezes. What do I do? :(
[15:12] <oerheks> installing a kernel can take some time.. how do you do that, btw?
[15:12] <Payam49> oerheks to me?
[15:13] <oerheks> Payam49, yes, as one does not install a kernel manually, it comes through updates
[15:16] <Payam49> Now I could solve the error
[15:16] <Payam49> but when I instal git I get this and the entire computer is freezing
[15:16] <Payam49> https://imgur.com/a/fhBKCXJ
[15:17] <Payam49> it was the same error as before. it stops at update-initramfs
[15:18] <oerheks> 201 not upgraded
[15:18] <oerheks> time to do 'apt dist-upgrade'
[15:18] <oerheks> then install stuff
[15:18] <Payam49> oerheks I am not allowed to upgrade the disto by the company
[15:18] <oerheks> and freeze; does toggling num lock work?
[15:18] <oerheks> oh, that is bad
[15:18] <oerheks> good luck!
[15:18] <Payam49> nothing works at all
[15:30] <carnophage2> hi
[15:40] <enigma9o7[m]> http://localhost:631 has some printer info
[15:55] <armadefuego> @Payam49 git does not require initramfs. that is _usually_ triggered by a kernel-ish update. You must have a pending update that did not complete. Maybe the people that said you can not upgrade the distro might know why?
[16:00] <armadefuego> one possibility is to download the git package and install it directly.
[16:02] <oerheks> armadefuego, interesting, as 201 not upgraded
[16:02] <oerheks> he created an impossible situation
[16:04] <armadefuego> If you look at the screenshot you see that git is _already_ at the latest update.
[16:04] <armadefuego> The problem is that a previous update (updated kernel?) did not complete.
[16:08] <armadefuego> And there is something that is not allowing the initramfs to complete. That is where the apt is hanging. the computer may not be fully frozen, or it might be.
[16:08] <armadefuego> Initramfs may be hitting some operation that is not working on the hardware.
[16:11] <armadefuego> for example a hardware lock on sector 0 writes could freeze a computer.
[16:13] <armadefuego> ( the numlock test is to check if the computer is servicing interrupts. It is possible that it is servicing a higher level interrupt.
[16:19] <craigbass76> I'm using rdesktop to get into a windows machine. When I print from an app (print to pdf) I'm told that any formatting problems are due to my setup. Anyone know how to tell rdesktop where to find a printer driver? They're saying HP4, but I'm guessing they mean the laserjet4100 driver that everyone used for years.
[16:20] <SkinnyCa_> Has anyone else seen issues using the Intel Psteps driver with an intel 8000 series? I have a I7 8650U and it stays locked at 800mhz even at 100% load. AC/DC power make no difference. I disabled the pstate driver and the acpi driver sorta works, but never gets to 4.2Ghz, only 3.9. Thoughts?
[16:27] <amoe> In Focal Fossa, on a CLI-only server, what's the best way to enable a network interface so that it comes up on boot?
[16:28] <leftyfb> amoe: if it's configured properly, it will come up on boot
[16:28] <leftyfb> amoe: https://netplan.io/examples/
[16:31] <amoe> leftyfb: thanks, it's the first time I've heard about netplan.
[16:33] <loganrun> is there any way to add a right click option to create a file, say a .txt file?
[16:33] <loganrun> to the "Files" program
[16:34] <leftyfb> loganrun: try https://vitux.com/add-new-document-back-to-the-right-click-menu-in-ubuntu-18-04/
[16:35] <leftyfb> loganrun: https://itsfoss.com/add-new-document-option/
[16:36] <loganrun> thanks I'll check it out
[16:40] <loganrun> hmm, the Templates folder does not seem to be used at all by Files
[16:41] <loganrun> oh, does seem to work if I click on "documents" first
[16:42] <loganrun> not quite what I wan't but a start
[16:56] <carnophage2> i'm running ubuntu in a vm on vbox
[16:56] <nunya> how do I clear the auoremove list. I removed cinnamon desktop and left gnome an Ubunt Ubuntu Wayland instaleld. Now my apt autoremove list contains blueman, hexchat,a and abotu 50 other things that I know are part of Ubunt. I don't want to unistall any of these. How do I clear the autoremove list without unistalling any of the packages it contains?
[16:56] <carnophage2> and the window manager is way choppy and slow
[16:56] <carnophage2> i have switched the vbox display, used compiz to remove stuff
[16:57] <carnophage2> still kind of clanky
[16:57] <carnophage2> followed several guides online
[16:57] <carnophage2> is there something to be done?
[16:57] <nunya> excuse all the typos pleae
[16:57] <nunya> my keyboard and my typing sucks
[16:58] <leftyfb> nunya: you have to reinstall whatever package you removed that those packages depend on
[16:58] <leftyfb> carnophage2: compiz is no longer installed by default and I'm pretty sure not supported. What version of ubuntu are you running?
[16:58] <jhutchins> carnophage2: You'd probably start with examining your hardware, your system loads outside the VM, the VM software, the hardware and software virtualized to the VM, and other factors.  Ubuntu on a random VM is not enough to diagnose.
[16:59] <rollappuser> whats up
[16:59] <rollappuser> how are you
[16:59] <rollappuser> this is
[16:59] <rfm> carnophage2, do you have the vbox 3d support enabled (must install guest additions, enable it in vm settings)
[16:59] <rollappuser> cool
[16:59] <nunya> leftyfb: That would be Cinnamon Desktop Environment and I don't want Cinnamon any more
[17:00] <leftyfb> rollappuser: welcome to the ubuntu support channel. If you have an issue, please give as much detail as possible. If you just want to chat, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:00] <rollappuser> i have a free version of rollapp
[17:00] <rollappuser> thats all
[17:00] <rollappuser> honestly
[17:01] <rfm> carnophage2, I found I was happier with the xfce desktop (Xubuntu) in a VM than gnome
[17:01] <carnophage2> i have guest additions and also vbox 3d enabled
[17:01] <leftyfb> nunya: sudo apt install gnome-shell-common
[17:01] <carnophage2> xfce?
[17:01] <carnophage2> how do i install this?
[17:01] <carnophage2> i'll google it.
[17:02] <leftyfb> carnophage2: please share the version of ubuntu you are running:    ( cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ) | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:02] <leftyfb> nunya: or:   sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell gnome-shell-common
[17:04] <rfm> carnophage2, apt install xubuntu-desktop should do it, although I think that leaves you with gdm instead of xubuntu normal lightdm.  installing anew from the xubuntu would result in a more normal config
[17:05] <nunya> leftyfb: gnome-shell-common is already the newest version (3.36.9-0ubuntu0.20.04.2).
[17:05] <nunya> gnome-shell-common set to manually installed. Then a long list of stuff I can autoremove. See pastebin https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6kqpSs7rS7/
[17:05] <carnophage2> 20.04.4 LTS
[17:07] <nunya> leftyfb: hexchat is among them. I am currently using hexchat to communicate with you
[17:09] <leftyfb> carnophage2: I was also looking for the kernel, which is why I requested the full output
[17:10] <carnophage2> kernel is latest version available.
[17:11] <leftyfb> carnophage2: please post the output of  ( cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ) | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:11] <nunya> leftyfb: I tried  sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell gnome-shell-common Then sudo apt update. I then just tried sudo apt install nano just tos ee if all the autoremove stuff still popped up. It did.
[17:12] <oerheks> a slow VM could be a slow host issue
[17:12] <leftyfb> nunya: at this point, it's probably just easier to "install" the packages from that list you know you still need/want
[17:13] <nunya> Is the autoremove list editable? I just want it empty so nothing is accidentally uninstalled forcing me to have to reinstall my system.
[17:14] <nunya> leftyfb:I don't know which ones I need or want and there are so many
[17:14] <carnophage2> output "https://termbbin.com/vbpc"
[17:15] <leftyfb> carnophage2: tried installing the virtualbox extension pack
[17:16] <leftyfb> ?
[17:16] <nunya> leftyb: I guess I could just be careful and ignore the autoremove list in terminal and Synaptic
[17:16] <carnophage2> lefty, i'll look into it right away
[17:17] <leftyfb> nunya: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/J3xSG7xtnH/
[17:20] <carnophage2> extension pack was previously installed
[17:20] <nunya> leftyfb: Ok, so install everything in the autoremove list. Clever if it works!
[17:20] <leftyfb> nunya: I left out the libraries. Some of those should get removed from the list after installing the other packages. The rest can probably be removed
[17:22] <nunya> leftyfb: If any of the libraries are need apps will complain then I can reinstalll them right?
[17:22] <leftyfb> yep
[17:22] <nunya> leftyfb: Thanks
[17:26] <nunya> leftyfb: Thanks that reduced autoremove list to 2 libbudgie-plugin0 libfwupdplugin1 I will check in Synaptic to make sure these are available if needed again. Then I will uninstall them.
[17:28] <leftyfb> nunya: you probably want libfwupdplugin1. The other can go
[17:29] <nunya> leftyfb: I will try the install again trick and see if that clears them fro the autoremove list
[17:32] <nunya> leftyfb: That worked! Thanks for your help! I'm going to put this in my computer support file.
[17:40] <carnophage2> i installed wine
[17:40] <carnophage2> and then some programs
[17:40] <carnophage2> removed wine
[17:40] <carnophage2> but the programs still show on my applications list on ubuntu, the windows ones
[17:41] <carnophage2> is there any way to remove them?  Could anyone show me the way?
[17:42] <nunya> leftyfb: Yeah I don't even have budgie. I was trying a clock applet for budgie just to see if it works on Ubuntu. It doesn't. I found dclock but it's kind of ugly. It works though.
[17:44] <knightwise> moved up to the ubuntu beta today
[17:44] <knightwise> 22.04 looks good
[17:44] <leftyfb> !ubuntu-next | knightwise
[17:44] <leftyfb> !next | knightwise
[17:45]  * knightwise loves me some jellyfish
[17:45] <nunya> leftyfb: One more question. I've been Googling but having a hard time finding: How do I get an application wind to open on right side or the screen? Just this one app though not all.
[17:46] <nunya> leftyfb: Ubuntu 20.04 if that matters
[17:47] <nunya> window
[17:52] <jhutchins> nunya: That's usually something you can feed to the application on the startup command, either as a part of a shortcut/icon, a menu item, or just from the Alt-F2 launcher (best to test it here first).
[17:52] <jhutchins> nunya: Look at the docs for the application and see what it offers.
[17:53] <nunya> jhutchins: thanks I 'll check dclock --help
[17:54] <jhutchins> nunya: Yeah, dclock should have position/geometery parameters.  Pretty sure xclock does.
[17:57] <nunya> jhutchins: nothing in dcloc --help about placement. I will try xclock. Unfortunately xclock -digital is not resizeable the window is but the time isn't.
[17:58] <nunya> I need a big digital clock on my desktop so I can see it from my bed across the room from my computer.
[18:02] <jhutchins> You might check for a manpage or /usr/share/doc
[18:02] <jhutchins> Internal help files for X applications are pretty sparse and unimplemented.
[18:23] <nunya> jhutchins: found -gemoetry for dclock in man page but not help. Figure out geomerty with xwininfo -id $(xprop -root | grep "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW)" | grep -Eo "0x[0-9a-f]{2,}") Then just palyed with X and Y cordinates until I liked the placement. Thanks for your help. The direction to man page led me to the answer.
[19:10] <kinghat> how does the docker snap update? will it restart containers at unwanted times?
[19:16] <oerheks> kinghat, a good read; see "refresh-mode: endure "  https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/docker-snap-what-happens-when-snap-is-updated/20291
[19:17] <Lumpio-> People run snap in production...?
[19:17] <oerheks> and the point to https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/wip-refresh-app-awareness/10736
[19:17] <oerheks> Lumpio-, some docker people do.. and they can
[19:18] <kinghat> Lumpio-: lxd is snap too
[19:18] <Lumpio-> oh no
[19:57] <kinghat> oerheks: so i gather that it might not work for for the docker snap? i dont see anything related to it in the docker snap repo 🤔

[21:15] <tenikokoro> Hi
[21:22] <Chunkyz> my HDD is still disconnecting and I looked at dmesg: https://paste.debian.net/1235511/ any ideas what's going wrong?
[21:24] <tomreyn> use sg_ses to find out more about the disk(s) in this scsi enclosure
[21:25] <Chunkyz> it's a WD USB3 external HDD, it's not an scsi enclosure
[21:26] <BASHitup> OFF TOPIC!
[21:26] <tomreyn> BASHitup: how so?
[21:26] <BASHitup> I'm kidding. No, I'm sort of being facetious.
[21:26] <Chunkyz> tomreyn: https://paste.debian.net/1235512/
[21:27] <BASHitup> I'd say if it involves any sys process and interacts with the kernel, it's fine.
[21:27] <BASHitup> Yes ... even then, the Ubuntu polic will come. And when they do you get ... WHACK BOOM BANG ... INSTANT-MEGABAN
[21:27] <Chunkyz> tomreyn: deal with this troll please.
[21:27] <tomreyn> BASHitup: this might happen if you keep chatting like this here.
[21:28] <Chunkyz> tomreyn: any ideas? I'm clueless
[21:28] <BASHitup> Since when is dissent equated with trolling?
[21:28] <tomreyn> Chunkyz: which hardware is this?
[21:28] <tomreyn> BASHitup: please stay on topic, ubuntu support
[21:28] <Chunkyz> tomreyn: WD portable USB3 HDD.
[21:29] <BASHitup> "please stay on topic ..." disrupts the Ubuntu topic workflow. Yellow card.
[21:29] <tomreyn> Chunkyz: canyou be more specific?
[21:29] <Chunkyz> tomreyn: sec let me get the link
[21:29] <BASHitup> That's like 45 seconds without Nix talk.
[21:30] <oerheks> BASHitup, that is not helpfull at all.
[21:30] <BASHitup> Yeah ... so I will help and not make wisecracks. Yet, everyone will quickly see that every clause is parsed and may or may not be rejected based on topic rules - arbitrarily conceived. What is the sys proc invoked by this drive issue?
[21:31] <Chunkyz> tomreyn: it's this https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/portable-drives/wd-my-passport-usb-3-0-hdd-recertified#RWDBYFT0020BBK-WESN
[21:31] <BASHitup> can you see the HDD using lsusb?
[21:32] <BASHitup> *chunkyz
[21:32] <Chunkyz> Bus 002 Device 013: ID 1058:25e1 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. My Passport 25E1
[21:32] <BASHitup> K, so it reads. That's something
[21:32] <oerheks> run a fsck https://askubuntu.com/questions/1098436/wd-my-passport-usb-drive-not-recognized
[21:32] <BASHitup> Then you can see what it looks like in <ls /dev>
[21:32] <Chunkyz> it'll disconnect again
[21:32] <Chunkyz> oerheks: it's reconized though, just keeps unmounting
[21:32] <BASHitup> You switched ports to make sure it's not a port issue - rather than an Ubuntu issue?
[21:32] <Chunkyz> yes.
[21:33] <BASHitup> And, honestly, given that the USB functions on a lower level than the OS ... I mean, this is not really an Ubuntu thing. Which makes me sound like a hypocrite for sure
[21:33] <BASHitup> The USB process should be conistent based on the kernel version or the drivers which pertain to the kernel - not the OS itself.
[21:33] <sarnold> I can't imagine running ses on a usb disk is very useful
[21:34] <oerheks> wd passport, i read a lot of issues, mostly solved with fsck, but if it keeps disconnecting.. power issue?
[21:35] <Chunkyz> ahh think reparing worked. I wondered why windows 10 wouldn't see it, even though it's ntfs. thanks oerheks :-)
[21:35] <oerheks> maybe usb3 ( blue)  or usb2 makes a difference
[21:36] <Chunkyz> I'll see if it carries on disconnecting.
[21:36] <leftyfb> Chunkyz: the mybooks go to sleep on their own
[21:36] <leftyfb> Chunkyz: https://askubuntu.com/questions/891173/disable-spinning-down-of-hdd-in-16-04
[21:36] <Chunkyz> leftyfb: it's not a mybook but thanks.
[21:37] <leftyfb> same with the passports
[21:40] <Chunkyz> the repair seems to have worked :-)
[21:41] <oerheks> Chunkyz, in gnome disks, one could set Drive settings > standby > never ..
[21:42] <Chunkyz> oerheks: it's greyed out :-9
[21:42] <oerheks> but for external i do not think that sticks
[21:42] <oerheks> oh
[22:25] <philipp64> is it a known issue that pastebinit doesn't actually work with -b pastebin.com ?
[22:25] <philipp64> I keep getting 405 Method not allowed.
[22:26] <Lumpio-> pastebin.com is the worst pastebin
[22:28] <oerheks> https://bugs.launchpad.net/pastebinit/+bug/1925245
[22:29] <oerheks> known issue
[22:33] <philipp64> oerheks: also https://bugs.launchpad.net/pastebinit/+bug/1921487
[22:34] <philipp64> "don't fix it because Pastebin is hostile to Tor"??? really?
[22:35] <oerheks> or the captcha..
[22:51] <Unit193> philipp64: If you actually care, that's pretty easy to fix.
[22:51] <philipp64> great. how?
[22:52] <codez> guys any idea how to set cpu scaling off on ubuntu for a i9900k?
[22:52] <jhutchins> !paste
[22:52] <Unit193> Copy /usr/share/pastebin.d/pastebin.com.conf to /etc/pastebin.d/pastebin.com.conf, change the regex to: regexp = https?://((([a-zA-Z0-9\-_\.]*)(pastebin\.com)))   and right below that line add 'https = True'
[22:53] <jhutchins> philipp64: There are many reasons to avoid pastebin.  Among others, it's blocked by a lot of networks because has spread malware.  Just don't.
[22:54] <oerheks> why messing with cpu scaling? oke you can ..
[22:54] <oerheks> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man1/cpupower-gui.1.html
[22:55] <philipp64> doesn't paste.ubuntu.com require credentials?
[22:55] <codez> oerheks ty ty
[22:56] <Unit193> philipp64: Yeah it has annoying login requirements.
[22:58] <jhutchins> Hm, that's new to me.  There are others.
[23:00] <jhutchins> philipp64: http://paste.debian.net is still open.
[23:00] <oerheks> Maybe that is why termbin.com is populair
[23:01] <jhutchins> Let's find the things that make Ubuntu broadly popular and accessible and break them.
[23:23] <Aarch64debian> ubuntu is bad, baduntu
[23:25] <sarnold> jhutchins: IS folks were spending hours each day dealing with horrible things on the pastebin :(
[23:26] <Unit193> sarnold: Understandable, but then I'm going to go to a pastebin that doesn't have such requirements, and advocate against its use too.  Perhaps it's best to push that responsibility elsewhere?
[23:27] <sarnold> Unit193: aye, I've switched to termbin.com too, it's so much easier to use
[23:27] <Aarch64debian> what never end drums
[23:27] <genii> heh
[23:27] <sarnold> the debian pastebin is nice if I want something a bit 'webbier' to work with
[23:27] <oerheks> sarnold, maybe opening an account passes through
[23:28] <sarnold> oerheks: I spent five or ten minutes trying to configure pastebinit to do account things but it was way more annoying than just switching pastebins
[23:57] <Aarch64debian> baduntu
