[00:24] <jonathan> Alright, I've got a MPV question.  I have an HDMI to USBc device plugged in and I'm running my XBOX to the PC.  I've got video going, but can't seem to figure out the audio...  Here's the command {mpv --profile=low-latency --no-cache --untimed --demuxer-lavf-format=video4linux2 --demuxer-lavf-o-set=input_format=mjpeg av://v4l2:/dev/video0}
[00:27] <dw_0x55aa> sup yall
[00:27] <kostkon_> dw_0x55aa hi
[00:28] <ogra> jonathan, take a look at https://github.com/ogra1/hdmi-usb-dongle/blob/main/run.sh#L62 ...
[00:30] <ogra> (you could also just "sudo snap install hdmi-usb-dongle" )
[00:31] <ogra> (and see snap info hdmi-usb-dongle for the initial setup)
[00:31] <sarnold> ogra: heh, is that adding 2ms of audio latency?
[00:31] <sarnold> ogra: how much can you add before you notice it?
[00:32] <ogra> heh, some more 🙂
[00:35] <ogra> with usb3 the stream might be a bit faster though ... perhaps there it isnt neede
[00:35] <ogra> d
[00:51] <jonathan> Ogra, I'm getting the following message when running hdmi-usb-dongle: "Please connect the hardware-observe snap plug to make device detection possible"
[00:51] <jonathan> Not quite sure what to do at this point.
[00:55] <sarnold> jonathan: the commands you need to run are in the output of: snap info hdmi-usb-dongle
[00:58] <jonathan> ok, wow, went from 30fps to 60.  Just need to work on the audio...  Thank you for your help.
[01:25] <hammr> hello
[01:26] <hammr> short, sweet question. if i install from the current daily build ISO, will upgrading on release day be as stable as having installed from the release day ISO?
[02:15] <hammr> if i install from the current daily build ISO, will upgrading on release day be as stable as having installed from the release day ISO?
[02:17] <lotuspsychje> !final | hammr
[02:20] <hammr> lotuspsychje: so just to be clear, i should have 100% parity with the release day ISO so long as i'm fully upgraded on release day?
[02:20] <hammr> so there's no reason to wait for the release day ISO so long as i'm willing to run a development version for the next 4 days?
[02:22] <lotuspsychje> hammr: yes there's a reason to wait, as 22.04 is still in development branch, depending on your needs you can early install at final, or await the LTS way 22.04.1
[02:22] <lotuspsychje> all depends what you find important
[02:25] <hammr> lotuspsychje: what i'm saying is, come april 23rd there will be no difference between if i installed today or waited for the release day ISO on the 22nd
[02:25] <hammr> that's in 4 days
[02:26] <hammr> i'm willing to deal with any bugs which exist in the development version for the next 4 days so long as on the 23rd my install will have 100% parity with a fresh install of 22.04
[02:26] <lotuspsychje> correct hammr
[02:26] <hammr> awesome, thanks!
[02:26] <hammr> i'm about to board an intl flight in the morning and don't know if i'll be able to grab the full ISO while abroad easily
[02:27] <lotuspsychje> great hammr good luck
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> hammr: you can also try lsb_release -a see if your current install still says development or not
[02:29] <hammr> lotuspsychje: i'm actually on pop_os currently
[02:30] <hammr> gonna try ubu 22.04 out, might try pop 22.04 later
[02:30] <lotuspsychje> oh kk
[02:40] <jhutchins> hammr: Where are you headed?  Some parts of Ubuntu are entirely developed outside of the US.
[02:42] <ZeloZelos> is there a way to have grub show on multiple screens?
[02:44] <ZeloZelos> rtx 2060 and 3 monitors. i need grub on 2 of them, 1 is separate from the others, and when i need to switch os in there i have to come in here to select the right system
[02:54] <mas> so excited for 22.04 only few more dayz
[03:12] <rob0> grub on multiple monitors would be an issue of hardware/UEFI support, and I have never known a machine with BIOS/UEFI support for multiple monitors.
[04:49] <jonathan> OK, so I've made a little progress with my MPV and no audio issue.  Again, I'm using an hdmi to usb dongle to stream my xbox to the pc.  In mpv, I'm able to get video, but not able to get audio working, however, I can run arecord simultaneously to get audio with a pretty good sync.  Can anyone assist with getting the arecord commands into the mpv command?  Here's the current command to run both: {mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0 --no-cache --untimed
[04:49] <jonathan> --profile=low-latency --demuxer-lavf-o-set=input_format=mjpeg & arecord -r 48000 -D hw:1,0 -f S16_LE -c 2 | aplay}
[05:35] <phr34k> Hey I'm having network issues w.r.t. ipv6 traffic. I'm hoping I could get a couple of pointers what i could/should look into:  Basically I'm trying to curl to an ipv6 address from one of my docker containers. I was able to modify the network setup so of the container so that can do a ping6 to google.com but when i checkout my curl it's not getting
[05:35] <phr34k> any response.
[06:08] <DynamiteDan> greetings. Somehow I enabled the view of dot files on file dialog in ubuntu. How do I revert that? Thanks in advance.
[06:10] <osse> DynamiteDan: press the button to the left of the minimize button
[06:10] <osse> you can toggle it there
[06:11] <DynamiteDan> Ah! Thanks! I was trying on gnome-tweaks
[06:11] <osse> perhaps you pressed Ctrl-H by accident
[06:12] <DynamiteDan> Maybe...
[06:12] <DynamiteDan> Thanks for your help osse
[06:42] <defiant> Oi, has anyone experienced automatic connections to WiFi despite disabling autoconnect? I'm on 20.04, and I just found out my laptop automatically connected to my WiFi AP several times as I left it on during the night. The Network Manager connection has the "Connect automatically with priority" unticked.
[06:42] <defiant> I disabled the wifi before night.
[06:42] <defiant> (disconnected from AP)
[07:00] <alkisg> defiant: run `nm-connection-editor` and check all the connections there; it's possible that you have 2-3 of them for the same AP
[07:27] <defiant> I must be blind. I only see one.
[07:28] <defiant> although I did have problems in the past as the NM kept making new connections for the same AP rather than use existing ones.
[07:33] <defiant> I'll just delete the connection, create a new one and see, if it happens again.
[08:12] <peirik> One of my DisplayPort monitors _always_ refuse to wake from sleep, forcing me to run 'xrandr --output DP-0 --auto' every time I wake the computer from sleep. Most of the time this works and makes the monitor wake, but once in a while it fails and no matter what I do the monitor doesnt wake up at all - forcing me to reboot :/ Is this issue familiar to any of you - and is there an easy way to fix it?
[08:53] <NeilRG> when I update grub, it says "Memtest86+ needs a 16-bit boot, that is not available on EFI, exiting"
[08:53] <NeilRG> how do I repair this error?
[08:53] <NeilRG> Should I run grub-mkconfig again?
[08:57] <ravage> you dont
[08:57] <ravage> its not available with UEFI
[08:57] <NeilRG> ravage, should I somehow remove it so that grub doesn't give me that error?
[08:58] <ravage> its not an error. just an information
[08:58] <NeilRG> I updated Ubuntu, so I'm worried that I should maybe update my grub in some way?
[08:58] <NeilRG> ok
[08:58] <NeilRG> thanks

[09:59] <masber> hi, I am trying to install gimp but getting an error https://pasteboard.co/rXbgWNMEy50o.png any advice?
[10:00] <matsaman> masber: an ordinary, non-snap version should be in the 'universe' repo
[10:00] <matsaman> I would use that, and avoid snaps, because they are nonsense
[10:03] <matsaman> if you have trouble avoiding snaps, switch to Debian, which is what Ubuntu is constantly based off of anyway
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> matsaman: please dont advice to avoid snaps in the ubuntu support channel
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> its a part of ubuntu now, we should respect that way
[10:11] <matsaman> lotuspsychje: good one =P
[10:11] <matsaman> snaps are idiotic, and everyone knows it
[10:11] <matsaman> if you want people to finally leave Ubuntu, snaps are the way
[10:11] <matsaman> meanwhile people have things to do, and they are going to want plain functional debs to actually get past stupid errors they never signed up for
[10:12] <lotuspsychje> thats your opinion, and should not be generalized upon users
[10:12] <lotuspsychje> feel free to continue this conversation in #ubuntu-discuss please
[10:12] <bittin> https://linuxunplugged.com/454 LUP about Ubuntu 22.04 and F36
[10:13] <matsaman> lotuspsychje: oh I feel free my friend
[10:13] <matsaman> bittin: what's this?
[10:13] <serhat> Hi guys, are there anyone who can help me ?
[10:13] <matsaman> serhat: with what?
[10:14] <bittin> matsaman, a podcast about Linux
[10:14] <bittin> Linux Unplugged Podcast
[10:15] <matsaman> bittin: ah, thought it might be more relevant than that, ok
[10:15] <bittin> well a podcast about Ubuntu 22.04 feels relevant in an Ubuntu channel
[10:15] <bittin> 2,5 days before the release
[10:15] <matsaman> sure
[10:16] <serhat_> Guys, my lapton isn't charging, it says "estimating..." and it's stuck at 0.0 percentage.
[10:17] <serhat_> wasn't like that yesterday
[10:17] <serhat_> when i pull off the charger, it shut downs
[10:18] <serhat_> hey
[10:19] <serhat_> are there anyone to help me
[10:19] <matsaman> serhat_: mmm, that's bad
[10:19] <matsaman> serhat_: try removing the battery and re-placing it within the laptop
[10:19] <matsaman> serhat_: has your battery life been diminishing gradually over time? Is it a very old laptop or battery?
[10:19] <serhat_> aahh that's not very practical of me.
[10:19] <serhat_> no
[10:19] <serhat_> not at all
[10:19] <wez> Yeah! The ol' turn it off and on again trick!
[10:19] <serhat_> wasn't like that 24 hours ago.
[10:19] <matsaman> okay, well hopefully it's something simple like somehow being unseated
[10:20] <serhat_> i don't get ubuntu..
[10:20] <matsaman> what don't you get?
[10:20] <serhat_> these kind of problems happens all the time, don't get it why
[10:22] <matsaman> well, this is probably a hardware problem, but
[10:22] <matsaman> you should remember that your hardware was likely only tested against one OS, and that OS probably wasn't Ubuntu
[10:23] <serhat_> yeah thanks, is there a way to understand if i use ubuntu efficiently
[10:23] <wez> serhat_: Yeah, it takes a bit of research to find hardware that isn't terrible in Linux.  basically just stay away from anything Broadcom.
[10:23] <wez> pro tip
[10:23] <matsaman> I mean for the most part it doesn't take research, but
[10:23] <matsaman> a little research will probably always be at most a waste of time, and frequently will be quite nice to have done
[10:23] <matsaman> serhat_: that's a very broad subject
[10:24] <matsaman> try one problem at a time
[10:24] <wez> matsaman: Until you buy something with a broadcom chip and everything turns to p00p
[10:24] <serhat_> lol
[10:24] <matsaman> I mean I'm on IRC so I know the stories, but
[10:24] <matsaman> usually there are in fact drivers
[10:25] <Jeremy31> Just have to figure out the correct one
[10:25] <matsaman> sometimes it can be tedious to get a particular distro to _utilize_ a particular driver without bending over backwards
[10:25] <matsaman> some distros make it harder than others, if you don't know what you're doing
[10:26] <serhat_> yeah, latter is my problem i guess.
[10:26] <serhat_> okay guys thanks a lot
[10:27] <serhat_> see ya
[10:51] <luciusf> Someone using ucarp(1) on 20.04? Sometimes my master switches to backup, without the other node taking over. I was wondering if I need to add the `--preempt` option *only* to the prefered (master)node?
[12:14] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:25] <bittin> Hey
[13:48] <Liblx> Hello, is there a possibility to add columns for video and audio files in nautilus (ubuntu 20.04, nautilus 3.36.3)?
[13:50] <leftyfb> Liblx: nautilus is a file manager, not a media manager.
[14:06] <pagios> hi, talking about fetchmailrc does it fetch SENT items and all folders by default or should i specify them?\
[14:15] <chilversc> When using HWE, can I pin to a specific kernel version when installing the HWE packages? I specifically want to only use 5.13 which is the current HWE package on 20.04 but I'm concerned if 20.04 HWE is updated to a newer kernel (e.g. 5.16) the older packages for 5.13 will be removed from the apt repo
[14:16] <chilversc> also, when pinning to a specific version, what is the correct version string to avoid the script breaking when a newer version is released?
[14:17] <chilversc> I tried the full version string at the time I was testing the script, eg. "linux-generic-hwe-20.04=5.13.0.39.44~20.04.24", but that stopped working the moment a newer package was released, it seems the older package was deleted from the repo when the newer package was added.
[14:25] <yverx> hey all
[14:26] <yverx> all of a sudden my pc doesnt wqnnq conne t to the internet
[14:26] <yverx> wannna*
[14:29] <yverx> can someone give me support or point me to q direction?
[14:29] <leftyfb> yverx: which release of ubuntu?
[14:30] <yverx>  20.04
[14:31] <leftyfb> yverx: are you connected wireless or wired?
[14:32] <yverx> wire
[14:32] <yverx> rouy
[14:32] <leftyfb> rouy?
[14:33] <chilversc> ah, I mis-read the error message from apt, the package I'm after does exist, but for some reason apt keeps wanting to install a newer version of the dependency "linux-generic-hwe-20.04 : Depends: linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 (= 5.13.0.39.44~20.04.24) but 5.13.0.40.45~20.04.25 is to be installed"
[14:33] <yverx> rouyer seems to be working sincre i can tthpe herr obv
[14:33] <chilversc> why doesn't apt just install 5.13.0.39.44~20.04.24?
[14:34] <leftyfb> !de | yverx
[14:34] <yverx> srry my spelling.... shitphone ++ very odd kb layout
[14:35] <leftyfb> yverx: on your ubuntu machine, can you ping the router?
[14:36] <yverx> u have a problem with nqttii
[14:37] <leftyfb> yverx: sorry, but if you want to receive support, you're going to need to type in clear English.
[14:37] <yverx> native germans***  leftyfb?
[14:38] <yverx> i hqvent typed a single german word
[14:38] <leftyfb> yverx: on your ubuntu machine, can you ping the router?
[14:38] <rob0> focus on the issue, please? ^^

[14:40] <jonathan__> MPV issue, I have a hdmi to usbc dongle that I'm streaming content from an xbox to pc.  Using, mpv, I'd like to capture both audio and video.  Video is working, but I'm having an issue capturing audio.  Here is the command so far: {mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0 --no-cache --untimed --profile=low-latency --demuxer-lavf-o-set=input_format=mjpeg}
[14:40] <yverx> idk the ip of the router
[14:41] <rob0> "ip route" will show you
[14:42] <chilversc> I don't understand it, apt knows that it requires linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04=5.13.0.39.44~20.04.24, that package is available, so why is it trying to install 5.13.0.40.45~20.04.25 then complaining that doesn't satisfy the dependency?
[14:44] <chilversc> When searching for dependencies, does apt stop at the first repo that contains the package? As apt policy shows that there's two repos that provides that package, the first has the newer .40.45, while the second repository has the older .39.44.
[14:45] <yverx> i typed ping *familiarip* qnd it asks le if i wqnt to broqdcqst(!?) then - b  elsd whatever
[14:48] <yverx> how do i find the ip of ly router??
[14:48] <yverx> my*
[14:49] <chilversc> normally, if your computer is configured via DHCP, your router's IP will be the computer's gateway
[14:50] <rob0> yverx: are you not going to try "ip route"?
[14:55] <yverx> i did rob0 ty
[14:56] <yverx> only the lqst ip seemed familiar
[14:57] <yverx> thats  what i tried to ping, with the rejmts explqined here
[14:58] <rob0> "default via <ip-address>", did you ^^ ok
[14:58] <yverx> results gdamit**
[15:00] <yverx>     ohhhyay got better kb layou5

[15:02] <yverx> cquse i c. qn pingg thqt
[15:02] <rob0> that is the address to try to ping, yes
[15:02] <rob0> "can ping that"?

[15:26] <Guest87> Is this the channel to ask about snaps?
[15:26] <PaulW2U> Guest87: #snappy might be a channel of use to you
[15:27] <ravage> Guest87, you can about problems with installing or updating snaps. for problems with the snaps itself you should contact the snap developer. snaps are not community mainainted
[15:27] <Guest87> I just wanted to know if google chrome would ever become a snap app.
[15:27] <leftyfb> Guest87: that would be a question for google
[15:27] <ravage> there is a snap for chromium
[15:28] <leftyfb> Guest87: google chrome is not open source and not available from anywhere other than google
[15:28] <Guest87> What is the difference between google chrome and chromium because some websites check if you're running the official chrome binary.
[15:29] <ravage> i have nerver heard of any website that does make a difference here
[15:29] <leftyfb> Guest87: I'm pretty sure there are zero websites that work with google chrome that do not work with chromium
[15:29] <ravage> if it does install an extenstion to change your user agent
[15:30] <Guest87> Well, a few websites for medical stuff I know explicitly require either edge chromium or google chrome. No idea if running them in chromium would raise an issue.
[15:30] <ravage> so just try?
[15:30] <Guest87> Not to mention, google has been crippling chromium to encourage others to use chrome instead.
[15:31] <leftyfb> false
[15:31] <ravage> google does not cripple anything
[15:31] <ravage> chromium chooses not to include some closes source APIs. in other cases does not allow it to use them
[15:31] <ravage> *google does not allow them to be used
[15:31] <gordonjcp> genius3000: can you find an example of one of these websites?
[15:32] <leftyfb> Guest87: regardless, we are offtopic here now. Feel free to chat about chromium in #chromium or #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:32] <Guest87> ok, thank you.
[16:48] <yverx> rob0: hey

[17:14] <dirtcastle> if my laptop heats too much and crashes could that be a ubuntu problem or laptop problem. windows never crashed for me. should I change distro.
[17:16] <lotuspsychje> dirtcastle: you can try keeping a journalctl -f open, see what happens in your system before it finaly crashes
[17:29] <Sven_vB> hi :) where can I find license information for focal's "xlsfonts" program?
[17:31] <Sven_vB> especially the source file programs/xlsfonts/dsimple.c
[17:34] <Sven_vB> found it in https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x11-utils/tree/xlsfonts
[18:25] <Sven_vB> so I cloned https://github.com/xeyownt/xseticon/ , ran "make", but "make: *** No rule to make target `xseticon.c', needed by `xseticon.o'.  Stop." is that a problem with Ubuntu focal? other people write about that repo as if the program worked nicely.
[18:27] <Sven_vB> nevermind
[18:27] <matsaman> had to cd to src or something?
[18:28] <Sven_vB> I had temporarily renamed the file in another shell, and had believed the output from outdated ls command
[18:28] <sarnold> aha :)
[18:32] <matsaman> tale as old as time
[18:37] <GSMarquis> Where can I adjust the battery scale reporting bluetooth mouse. 100 percent is equal to 50% right now.
[18:41] <leftyfb> GSMarquis: sounds like a driver issue
[18:41] <gordonjcp> or a dying battery issue
[19:03] <craigbass76> What's the best way to get avif files open? I just snagged GIMP 2.10.30, but still get an error.
[19:07] <ogra> craigbass76, what error ?
[19:07] <sarnold> libavifile-0.7-bin maybe? check http://avifile.sf.net to see if it looks like the thing
[19:08] <ogra> lol
[19:08] <ogra> that is for opeing avi files 🙂
[19:08] <ogra> avif is an image format ...
[19:09] <ogra> libheif is what you'd want for this i think
[19:09] <sarnold> that's the "if it looks like the thing" bit :)
[19:10] <ogra> yeah, not sure who picked that as a file extnsion even ... wont work on win95 or dos !
[19:10] <ogra> .avif i mean 🙂
[19:13] <craigbass76> ogra: unknown file type
[19:14] <craigbass76> ogra: I may have understood wrong, but I thought avif was based on avi somehow.
[19:14] <ogra> i dont think it is ...
[19:14] <genii> Av1
[19:15] <craigbass76> av-one? or av-ell ?
[19:15] <ogra> craigbass76, so that looks like this version of gimp was not compiled with avif support ... (missing libheif-dev at build time most likely)
[19:15] <craigbass76> Bah... (bangs head)
[19:15] <craigbass76> I thought it was in since 2.10.28.
[19:16] <ogra> that doesnt mean the maintainers have enabled it in gimps build ...
[19:20] <ogra> craigbass76, assuming you use the gimp snap (guessing by the version)... https://github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/166
[19:21] <craigbass76> I grabbed a deb. I'll try flatpak
[19:22] <ogra> funnily the snap includes both of the mentioned libs from the issue
[19:22] <ogra> i bet its some build time flag they forgot
[19:25] <JamesB192> my duck has failed. I dist-upgrade(d) my Focal box w/ KDE and lunarg vulkan to Impish. I want steam to work. Steam seems to require libvulkan1:{amd64,i386} to be the same version, among other things. my amd64 version of libvulkan1 is 1.2.170.0~rc2-1lunarg20.04-1 and the latest in tree version for i386 seems to be 1.2.162.0-1build1. Can I get steam to work without reducing my system to a sheat og glowing glass and if so how?
[19:25] <ogra> oh my ... so the snap build actually builds libheif from source and ships it ... but the gimp binary links against the (way older) libheif-dev package from the archive ... what could possibly go wrong with that ...
[19:27] <sarnold> JamesB192: perhaps ask the lunarg team for advice?
[19:32] <JamesB192> shorter version: is there a way I can force-downgrade the package without gutting my system?
[19:34] <sarnold> you could try apt install libvulkan1=1.2.162.0-1build1   and when that complains about mismatched versions, tack on more packagename=versions to return to the ubuntu original packages
[19:34] <sarnold> whether or not that will give you a puddle of molten glass is another question :) hehe
[19:40] <craigbass76> I got the images opened with the flatpak version of GIMP.
[19:43] <sarnold> sweet, thanks for reporting back
[19:53] <JamesB192> ah, I needed to pass some (meta)package names on that command line. from 150 packages gone to 10 -dev packages. Yay. Thank you for the help.
[19:57] <morganu> Hi 20.04  I cant adjust the brightness of my screen (20.04) the one under the power on the panel does nothing.  I also went to Activities> Power as some webpage suggested but the choices described were not there on my system.. nothing to adjust it existed there. Help me?
[21:43] <peirik> Whenever I play videos on my external HDTV (extended desktop) I get lots of tearing and lag in the video image during play. My GPU is Asus GeForce RTX 3060, and I'm not really sure which video driver I've got. Running 'lshw -c video' says just "driver=nvidia" under "configuration"...
[21:44] <matsaman> 'nvidia' is the driver there
[21:44] <matsaman> that's the proprietary one, from Nvidia themselves
[21:44] <matsaman> you can try a different version, or you can try nouveau, or you can try different configurations, or you can use onboard graphics likely, too
[21:45] <matsaman> I'd try nouveau first, unless you already know you are going to do some very GPU-specific things only the proprietary driver supports
[21:45] <matsaman> like CUDA, or certain gaming activities, I don't keep track
[21:45] <peirik> Still, when I open "Software & Updates" and check the "Additional drivers" tab, it says "This device is using a manually-installed driver" and "No proprietary drivers are in use"
[21:46] <matsaman> well that text is wrong, then
[21:46] <matsaman> nvidia is the proprietary driver
[21:46] <matsaman> even if you installed it outside of Ubuntu's software center
[21:46]  * matsaman goes AFK
[21:47] <peirik> I dont think I've manually installed any video drivers, so whatever is installed was automatically installed during OS installation I think...
[21:47] <matsaman> could be
[21:47] <matsaman> you have the proprietary driver regardlelss
[21:47] <matsaman> regardless*
[21:47]  * matsaman goes AFK for real
[21:47] <peirik> haha, thanks :)
[21:50] <fn31ln3> So I would reallly like to have passmenu on ubuntu, an apparently ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/password-store/+bug/1727423 ) this is the binary /usr/share/doc/pass/examples/dmenu/passmenu
[21:50] <fn31ln3> what would it be the best approach to have the binary in path?
[21:53] <sarnold> fn31ln3: mkdir -p ~/bin ; ln -s /usr/share/doc/pass/examples/dmenu/passmenu ~/bin/passmenu  # this would be my preference, it'll get updated over time, so you'll get updates as they are made, unless the packaging changes to move the file elsewhere in the future
[21:56] <fn31ln3> thank you sarnold
[23:06] <bluegreen> hi everyone,may i ask assistance for ubuntu 18 pls?  it was working well 3 days ago.. it freezes few minutes after booting.. i think the suspect is the wifi adapter/driver .. i borrowed a working wifi adapter yesterday,and it freezes too.but w/o the wifi adapter its all smooth

[23:27] <Guest89> How do I allow a non-sudoer to run a command as sudo?
[23:27] <leftyfb> Guest89: you don't
[23:27] <morganu> !patience|morganu
[23:28] <Guest89> leftyfb Wireshark automatically created group and stuff to allow non-sudoers run as sudo
[23:29] <morganu> I dont know how to use ubottu. How is a successful command constructed?  --- It dont not tell on the ubo factoid page or anywhere else I can find.
[23:29] <Guest89> but I don't see where else it changed
[23:29] <oi> heya its  me
[23:29] <leftyfb> morganu: /join #ubuntu-irc
[23:29] <Guest89> I want to do the same with nmap
[23:29] <morganu> Guest89, simple. if they know the password they do it just like any other user.
[23:29] <morganu> (I am unfamiliar with nmap)
[23:30] <morganu> re sudo they must use a password for an administrative user.
[23:30] <Guest89> morganu the thing is that the other user cant call sudo in the terminal
[23:30] <morganu> I jsut said they can.
[23:30] <morganu> they cant use their own password Guest89 but must use the password of an administrator.
[23:30] <Guest89> They are not in the admin group
[23:30] <bluegreen> leftyfb, installing,ill jz observe after its done.tyvm :)
[23:31] <morganu> Or so I believe. have you tried that?
[23:31] <oi> test
[23:31] <leftyfb> morganu: they need to be added to the sudo group
[23:31] <Guest89> morganu I know what you are saying, but using the admin username and password doesn't work
[23:31] <oi> zest
[23:31] <leftyfb> oi: welcome, what is your ubuntu support question?
[23:31] <morganu> OK leftyfb say nope. they need to be an admin
[23:31] <oi> im wrong herr sfy
[23:32] <leftyfb> Guest89: users need to be part of the sudo group in order to use sudo
[23:32] <Guest89> leftyfb in the /etc/sudoers?
[23:32] <sarnold> or, you add rules to the sudoers files to let the user run commands
[23:32] <leftyfb> sarnold: I think they still need to be part of the sudo group. sudoers just makes it more granular
[23:33] <Guest89> The thing is: non-sudoers can run wireshark with root privileges. I see a group for wireshark, but that group isn't anywhere else
[23:33] <sarnold> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 166056 Jan 19  2021 /usr/bin/sudo
[23:33] <Guest89> not in sudoers, not in admin group etc
[23:33] <sarnold> sudo can be executed by anyone
[23:36] <leftyfb> sarnold: looks like you are right
[23:36] <leftyfb> Guest89: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-edit-the-sudoers-file
[23:37] <Unit193> morganu: https://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - https://ubottu.com/ubottu.html#_using
[23:39] <Guest89> NVM. wireshark can run as root because it actually changes the group to its own group
[23:39] <Guest89> group of the necessary bins
