michaelrosehow many services enabled by default in a default ubuntu install. Specifically what is the result of systemctl list-unit-files –state=enabled|wc -l if someone doesn't mind00:48
oerhekssorry, i have no default install.00:49
bruhhey00:54
michaelroseassuming you know how many things you disabled got a ballpark?00:55
michaelroselike you have n and you think you disabled 3 so you have n-3 plus or minus 200:56

NetEchoHey folks I'm trying to set up Ubuntu but at the network config size it's not allowing me to set the subnet as 255.255.255.0/24 with an ip of 192.168.1.250, not sure what I'm doing wrong here01:31

Tripknotixso i added ubuntu to virtual box yesterday, and the last step it asked me to upgrade , so i started the upgrade and went home, now today, it stays at a black screen until it finally says "oops something went wrong, log out"02:08
Tripknotixeverything was working yesterday before i did the upgrade02:08
Tripknotixso i just create a new ubuntu install?02:09
Tripknotixshould i^02:09
tomreyni'm not familiar with the "oops something went wrong, log out" error message, is this verbatim?02:10
Tripknotixyeah =/02:11
tomreyni would guess that the system ran out of disk space or ram. have you tried to just reboot it?02:11
Tripknotixits fine, ill just recreate the vm and not do the update02:11
Tripknotixi did02:11
Tripknotixand it doesnt appear to be having either of those issues, but its possible02:11
tomreynso what happens when you reboot?02:12
Tripknotixmy computer was turned off when i came into work tho.... and my chrome just asked me to restore tabs02:12
Tripknotixsame thing, stays black forever02:12
Tripknotixtill it gives the error02:12
Tripknotixits ok im recreating a new one02:13
tomreynwell, you can just reinstall, but most likely you'll just run into the same situation again02:13
tomreynthere are 0 hits on a web search for "oops something went wrong, log out", so i doubt this is the exact error message02:14
Tripknotixi made this one 20gb isntead of 10gb02:14
oerheksdid you setup your virtualbox vm before starting ubuntu, videomemory and such?02:14
Tripknotixyes, im doing it with 20gb virtual max disk space this time02:17
Tripknotixrestarted my host pc02:31
Tripknotixhopefully creating a fixed disk, fixes the issue02:32
Tripknotixhmm according to google its likely the default video ram of 16mb needing to be 64mb02:41
Tripknotixapparently newer version of virtual box fixes this02:41
oerheksstop the vm, go into settings ?02:48
Tripknotixjesus christ it took 10 minutes for the black screen to turn white...02:53
Tripknotixthe settings taht worked was 64mb vram, and setting 2 monitors02:53
Tripknotixstill took 10mins tho02:53
Tripknotixi just closed it now so i can change to vboxsvga02:53
Tripknotixwe'll see if it takes 10minutes again02:53
Tripknotixwow... the vm made my monitors trip out02:58
Tripknotixmy monitor said the resolution was incompatible02:58
ker97hi03:02
ker97i'm having a few problems with apt-get. i'm trying to install a driver using a local deb03:02
ker97when i run apt-cache policy the repo isn't there. at one point, i manually deleted the line containing the package so i'm not sure if that is causing the issue03:03
ker97does anyone know how to reinstate the repo?03:03
ker97these are the instructions i've been using: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11.0-download-archive?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=2004&target_type=deblocal03:03
ker97when i run apt-get install cuda it says it's unable to locate the package03:03
ker97so i'm guessing it's my apt-cache that is not being updated03:03
oerhekswhat guide do you follow? and ubuntu version?03:04
ker97i'm on 20.0403:05
ker97i'm just following 7 lines here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11.0-download-archive?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=2004&target_type=deblocal03:05
ker97but at one point i manually modified the cache list03:05
ker97now i can't seem to get the local deb back on the list03:05
ker97even if i run dpkg -i <local.deb>, apt-cache policy doesn't show the local deb03:06
oerheksone better uses a howto like https://linuxhint.com/install-cuda-ubuntu/03:08

epigramxWas there a knows issue with fwupd? My 20.04.4 LTS stop responding a few hours after an update, and the last few messages of syslog were around "Starting Refresh fwupd metadata and update motd...".06:59
gulzarHi. After so many years.  Can we do something like this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1738474#p1738474 on Ubuntu to remove extra fonts, without affecting updates or break package. They are Noto Fonts installed with Plasma. I am on kbuntu-desktop.07:04
Bashing-om!info fwupd focal | epigramx07:14
ubottuepigramx: fwupd (1.7.5-3~20.04.1, focal): Firmware update daemon. In component main, is optional. Built by fwupd. Size 2,367 kB / 6,552 kB. (Only available for linux-any.)07:14
Bashing-omepigramx: ^ there was a recent update to fwupd - what shows ' dpkg -l fwupd ' ?07:15
epigramxYeah as I said, it happened a few hours after an update. 1.7.5-3~20.04.1 arm6407:16
epigramxIt's unclear to me though if that's definitely the cause.07:17
epigramxIt also has a lot of spam of "wpa_supplicant[]: wlan0: Failed to initiate sched scan" but that usually didn't cause a problem.07:18
Bashing-omepigramx: We can ask the kernel the status ' systemctl status fwupd ' .07:18
epigramxYeah that appears to report it's running now (but it has been rebooted after it was not responding), and it shows the same errors the syslog had, "failed to load eventlog: Failed to open file "/sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements"" and "failed to add device07:20
epigramx/sys/devices/platform/emmc2bus/fe340000.emmc2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:aaaa/block/mmcblk0: failed get ffu_capable for (null)" and "failed to load /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP: Failed to open file "/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP": No such file or directory" and "failed to record HSI attributes: failed to get historical attr: json-glib version too old".07:21

Bashing-omepigramx: I like termbin.com . - systemctl status fwupd | nc termbin.com 9999 -07:24
epigramxhttps://termbin.com/zjf307:26
epigramxdoesn't work in the dash in the end of the termbin line btw07:26
Bashing-omepigramx: Sorry that dash was kust to delimit the end of the command here in the channel - I do not percieve an issue in your fwupd. Similar to my result: https://termbin.com/f7pb .07:29
epigramxthen I wonder why it would stop responding, the syslog abruptly stops. Then the first message of the syslog is "booting linux" when I power-rebooted it.07:33
epigramxAlso I wonder how to reduce the messages, like "wpa_supplicant[522]: message repeated 473 times: [ wlan0: Failed to initiate sched scan]", which appear to occur because the wlan of netplan is not in range (yet (but that's normal (it's only a backup)).07:36
Bashing-omepigramx: The kerenl indicates it is running , Might see what is in the journal ' journalctl -b |grep fwupd ' .07:36
epigramxI had no physical access to the server other than the network, and since I had an lan + wlan redundancy for that, I suspect the OS just hang (I suspect hardware failure too).07:38
=== seednode0 is now known as seednode
Bashing-omepigramx: Ouch - anyway I must go - others here maybe of more value than I :D07:39
epigramxThough it's very suspicious that that fwupd update was recent and it happened around that logging. Firmware fiddling can be dangerous I guess. The wlan error messages are probably harmless.07:40
tomreynepigramx: does    dmesg | grep -i error   return anything?07:47
epigramxtomreyn bcm2708_fb: probe of soc:fb failed with error -207:58
tomreynepigramx: okay, that's the hdmi framebuffer device - unrelated. which kernel is running? cat /proc/version08:01
epigramxLinux version 5.4.0-1056-raspi (buildd@bos02-arm64-008) (gcc version 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04)) #63-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT08:02
tomreynokay, that's the latest for raspi08:03
tomreynfwiw, "Starting Refresh fwupd metadata and update motd..." is the equivalent to "apt update" for fwupd - it only updates the information on what's available. if a firmware update was applied, this should have been logged seperately.08:05
mgedminI don't think fwupd even has a mode for updating firmware unattendely08:05
tomreynso i guess it looks like it just went to sleep, and we don't know why.08:05
mgedminmost firmware updates require a reboot08:05
epigramxhardeware failure would explain it I guess, but anything that touches firmware makes me suspicious, I rarely trust fiddling low level to hardware and keeping stability.08:06

pikapikaWill some apps only be available as snaps but not in apt, which used to be on apt before?09:19
mgedminyes09:22
mgedminfor 22.04 lts I believe firefox is the only such app09:22
mgedminfor older ubuntu releases other apps were migrated from apt to snap packages: lxd, ubuntu store, chromium09:23
pikapikaWhat is the reason for this?09:24
pikapikaI don't like the idea of carrying a full linux container for each app09:24
pikapikaSo much disk space used, and it also becomes hard to edit configs too09:24
pikapikaAre mint or debian doing the same things09:27
mgedminreduced maintenance work is the main reason: people need to build a firefox snap once, instead of for every supported ubuntu version (18.04 lts, 20.04 lts, 21.10, 22.04 lts)09:27
mgedmindebian isn't using snaps09:27
mgedminI think the mint people are virulently against snaps09:27
FlowerPowerFuryhi all, i search help for an ubuntu install party (from france) ...09:27
mgedminas a user I'm somewhat ambivalent: snaps have both advantages (newer software sooner) and disadvantages (slower initial startup, excessive sandbox restrictions)09:28
pikapikaI just don't want a small vm for each app. Snaps are fine for apps I use rarely, and existing as an option. But I don't like apt apps being turned into snaps.09:28
xu-irc92w#ubuntu-fr09:28
pikapikaGenerally snaps are a last resort for me, not a first choice09:29
mgedmin(containers are not VMs)09:29
FlowerPowerFuryok sorry09:29
pikapikaI don't know the exact technology used but its heavy enough it seems to at least contain a big part of a linux userspace within itself, and slow to start, hard to configure, autoupdation bs etc to boot09:29
ravageFlowerPowerFury: you can also try #ubuntu-discuss but im not sure if there is a list of partys :D09:30

fearnothingI'm trying to extend my / volume for an ESXi VM but I'm not sure how to apply what I'm reading to the situation on my VM, which is slightly different09:37
fearnothingI'm using the following guide: https://www.golinuxcloud.com/extend-resize-primary-partition-non-lvm-linux/09:38
iambrokenhow can i make my localhost http server public?09:38
mrkubax10iambroken: port forwarding09:38
mrkubax10you need to setup that on router09:38
iambrokeni tried but not wroked09:38
mrkubax10what did you do?09:39
mgedminfearnothing: can you pastebin the output of lsblk so we can see what the situation looks like inside the VM?09:39
pikapikaI need to study building firefox myself09:39
mgedminpikapika: I hear you can download official linux builds as tarballs from mozilla.org and install them into your home directory; and apparently they then autoupdate09:40
fearnothingmgedmin: https://bpa.st/4CMA09:41
mgedminsounds safer and less hassle-ful than manual builds09:41
pikapikaWell thats the thing09:41
mgedmin(I've built firefox before, it's not a fast process)09:41
iambrokenon router admin page i forwarded port 8000 to my local ip address09:41
pikapikaI don't want autoupdates09:41
pikapikaEspecially not on firefox these days09:41
mrkubax10iambroken: HTTP uses 80 or 808009:41
mgedminfearnothing: what's /dev/sda5, swap?09:42
fearnothingmgedmin - I think so, but how do I tell?09:42
fearnothingoh wait09:42
fearnothingyes it is09:42
fearnothingit's /dev/sda2 that confused me09:43
mrkubax10iambroken: otherwise you will have to specify port after : when connecting to server09:43
mgedminfearnothing: it's probably the extended partition; do an sfdisk -l /dev/sda to see09:43
fearnothingit does say extended, but what's the purpose of that?09:43
mgedminMBR partition scheme allows for 4 primary partitions; if you want more, you have to declare one of the four to be an "extended" partition, which you can then split into logical partitions numbered 5-whatever09:44
mgedminlsblk shows the extended partition in a slightly weird way as being 1 KB big09:44
mgedminsfdisk will show its true size, which will be 1022M or something09:45
mgedminsince all logical partitions must fit inside it09:45
fearnothingahh so it's just a container for the swap partition at this point? gotcha09:45
mgedminyes09:45
fearnothingI remember enough of my forensics degree to understand primary/extended, I just didn't know enough of linux behaviour to understand why :)09:46
mgedminassuming the partitions are laid out in natural order, to resize /dev/sda1 you'll have to swapoff /dev/sda5, then remove sda5 and sda2, increase the size sda1, then re-create /dev/sda509:46
mgedminor you could create the swap as /dev/sda2, there's no real reason to have extended and logical partitions09:47
mgedminunless you plan to have more than 4 partitions09:47
fearnothingok, I think that's what the guide was missing, it didn't mention the extended partition at all, I guess they were just using primary partitions only09:47
mgedminanyway, your layout matches the https://www.golinuxcloud.com/extend-resize-primary-partition-non-lvm-linux/ guide pretty well as far as I can see?09:47
mgedminwell, in the sense that there's a swap partition following root that needs to be removed temporarily to allow resizing09:48
ograpikapika, snaps are genreally a lot smaller than debs ... on 22.04 you will also not get auto-updates of an app while it is running (just a notification that an update is pending) ...09:48
fearnothingyes, in that sense it's the same09:48
fearnothingand I definitely won't need lots of partitions on this disk - I have another virtual disk for that stuff as you can see :) (/dev/sdb)09:49
ograpikapika, the firefox snap is 162MB on disk ... the deb is 230 ... also, snaps are generally updating through binary deltas so the downloaded data is a lot less than that of a deb09:50
ograpikapika, and nobody "forces you" to use snaps ... just use the deb from FF upstream if you feel like09:51
ograit is just that mozilla asked canonical to switch to the snap that mozilla is providing ... we just follow their request here09:51
ogra(not a canonical decision at all)09:52
=== kostkon_ is now known as kostkon
pikapikaogra, oh I see09:56
pikapikaSo its firefox to blame here then09:56
ograwell, not sure abut "blame" but yeah ... it was their request09:56
pikapikaMy point was though, I just don't want updates in ff at all unless I have prepared myself for them. Which means waiting for workarounds to be found for the new UIs and so on. Anyways, I didn't know they packaged a deb too. God knows how long that will survive.09:57
ograand indeed it helps canonical to free resources (the FF db today needs a full time developer assigned for maintenance to build and test on 3 releases and 5 arches for each single release)09:57
ogras/db/deb/09:58
ograpikapika, but the deb updates itself in background too ... since 2016 or so09:58
pikapikaI remember I had personally frozen the browser09:58
pikapikaand only manually unfreeze it when I update it09:58
RikMillsfirefox don't package a deb as far as I know09:59
pikapikaOh you mean the deb provided by firefox itself09:59
pikapikaWell that sucks09:59
pikapikaManual builds it is then09:59
mgedminwhen firefox deb updates in the background, firefox pops up an info bar asking for a restart09:59
ograyep09:59
mgedminwhen chromium deb updated in the background, initially there was no notification, plus the profile directory got cloned and then the wrong copy kept being updated09:59
ograsame goes for the snap (at least in 22.04 or if you enable it manually in the former releases)+09:59
mgedminso when you finally restarted chromium your browsing history and open tabs got rewound back in time10:00
ograyeah10:00
mgedminI eagerly look forward to 22.04 lts to see whether those issues have been fixed10:00
mgedminah, wait, you mentioned that the (no longer?) experimental snap app refresh awareness flag is going to be enabled by default10:00
RikMillspikapika: firefox provide a tar'd binary release on their ftp, not a deb10:00
ograwell, they have been fixed on a snap level, you can use all snap features even on older releases (snaps are a rolling release, so not bound to something like "22.04")10:01
pikapikaRikMills, does that version auto-update?10:01
RikMillspikapika: yes, as long as where you put it is user writeable10:01
ogramgedmin, sudo snap set core experimental.refresh-app-awareness=true10:02
ogramgedmin, that will work everywhere .... and stop snaps being updated while they are runing10:02
RikMillshttps://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/98.0.2/linux-x86_64/10:03
mgedminyes, it's very nice, I've had it enabled for a while now10:04
mgedminI was curious about it finally becoming non-experimental and enabled by default10:04
mgedmin(also I kind of wish the notification about an update being available had a button to close the app and do the update now please)10:05
ogramgedmin, with the 22.04 release it will become non-experimental and default ...10:10
ograand yeah, an "update now!" button is on the roadmap AFAIK10:10
fearnothingok, have resized according to that guide... moment of truth incoming as I reboot!10:14
mgedminwhy even reboot after something like that?10:14

j`eyit's using netplan-wpa-wlan0.service for wifi12:00
Chunkyzserver should work out of the box with an ethernet plugged in12:00
j`eyeven if it's plugged in after it booted?12:00
Chunkyzno idea, sorry12:01
mrkubax10maybe try restarting with cable plugged in12:01
j`eyI can just try a reboot, just means closing everything I have open, wanted to avoid that if I could12:01
ograj`ey, check the network config in /etc/netplan ...12:01
ograthere should be an entry for eth012:02
j`eyoh wait, ip addr is showing an address for eth0 now..12:02
ograif not, add one following the docs on netplan.io12:02
ograyou can then run "netply try" to have the new config tested ... and "netplan apply" to fully apply it afterwards12:02

alkisgHow do 3d printers work in Ubuntu? If I already have an STL file (e.g. via blockscad3d.com), how do I send it to a 3d printer? I'll borrow one for a few days, but I've no idea if they connect via USB or Ethernet, if they need specific drivers or software...14:52
ograalkisg, start with snap install cura-slicer ...14:53
alkisgogra thanks, so I run cura, open the stl, and that communicates with the printer using usb? Do I need any drivers?14:54
ograalkisg, 3D printers typically come with an SD card slot and default to using that. so the easiest is to simply open your STL in cura, slice it, save it to an SD and plug that into the printer14:54
alkisgAh14:54
alkisgGot it, thank you ogra :)14:54
ograyou *can* set up a USB cable as well ... then it shows up as USB-serial device14:54
ograbut if it is only temporary for a borrowed printer, i'd not bother with that and go the SD route14:55
llutzor just use sd-card/usb-thumbdrive (depending on model) as last resort14:55
ograalkisg, oh, and if the snap bothers you, i think there are also cura appimages somewhere out in the wild14:55
alkisgogra, I think there's a .deb in their site14:56
ogramight be ... i use the snap since years 🙂14:56
ogra(but i used to use the appimage once which is why i remember it)14:56
leftyfbalkisg: I use prusaslicer(snap) on ubuntu which slices the stl's and then I just send it over to octprint connected to my printer. Been doing this for a few years now14:56
ograthere is also a snap of prusa-slicer in case you prefer its UI14:57
ograhah, leftyfb beats me 😄14:57
alkisgleftyfb: so I'd install octoprint in a raspberry, and use it as an ...ethernet-to-usb web ui?14:58
ograleftyfb, i think a full octoprint setup is a bit much for some temporary borrowed printer 🙂14:58
ograyeah, thats what you'd do14:58
leftyfbalkisg: yes14:58
alkisgI can setup octoprint for the school that owns the printer though14:58
leftyfbalkisg: /join #octoprint14:58
leftyfbthough it's pretty easy to get going14:58
ograit is definitely more convenient14:58

richdHi, after updating a server running Xen to Ubuntu 20.04.4, it won't boot the newly install 5.13.0-39-generic, with some error about the kernel not being an ELF file.  It boots well with the previous 5.4 kernel.  Is there a way to fix this?17:31
lotuspsychjerichd: perhaps the #ubuntu-server guys might recall an existing bug on that17:32
richdok, thanks...17:32
jhutchinsrichd: Turn off secure boot.18:21

SnoopJI would like to install `nvidia-container-toolkit`, but I absolutely do not want Ubuntu managing my Nvidia drivers. Is it plausible that I can just block the driver packages it wants to drag in?19:24
sarnoldSnoopJ: check out the 'equivs' package, it might help you make fake packages to satisfy dependencies19:26
SnoopJsarnold, is there a particular document I should read to learn more about that? Perhaps the equivs-build manpage is my best bet?19:29
sarnoldSnoopJ: /usr/share/doc/equivs/README.Debian has a bit of a tutorial that might be a better starting point19:31
SnoopJMaybe I should just throw in the towel and put myself at the mercy of the driver packages. I haven't tried them since I was on 16.04 which was a nightmare, but mostly because I needed a newer CUDA..19:32

funhousei have multiple files with these 2 extensions --> `csv.gz` and `csv.gz.ifa_count`, how would i delete the files only with `csv.gz`21:06
wezrm *.csv.gz21:07
funhousewez, ok that wouldnt delete the csv.gz.ifa_count i guess?21:07
weznope21:07
sarnoldyou can test globs like this with echo, try echo *.csv.gz  and if you like the output, use rm21:07
wezYou can copy both into another directory and test it first if you like21:07
rob0* = glob wildcard, . = actual dot (in glob expressions)21:08
wezThanks rob0!21:08
wezrob0: And what does ? do? :)21:08
rob0*csv.gz* would cover all files with that pattern21:08
wezrob0: Do you use [] and {} too?21:09
rob0? in glob means a single character21:09
wezAnd what does it mean in regex? :)21:09
* wez puts on his knowledge testing hat21:09
rob0me, not too often, but "man bash" has the information on globs21:09
rob0regex is way different :)21:09
wez:)21:09
wezman perl for that probably :)21:09
wezThat is the one thing I gained from scripting in perl, regex21:10
rob0well, "man grep" or even "man regex"21:10
rob0pcre is another one21:10
wezThat's not PCRE though21:10
sarnoldperlre, actually, but it's best to look them up in whatever tool you're using, since different tools have different features21:10

ewomerHow come you can't have libc++-10 and libc++-13(LLVM apt) on the same system?21:14
