gneeriiloeepdeerim upgrading to 22.04 and Im stucked with firefox snap update. Terminal reads: Installing the firefox snap but its been like that for 5 minutes already. Is there something wrong?02:27
gneeriiloeepdeerno more output. Just that line02:27

ravagei know that there is/was a bug related to snap and dbus. that hangs forever. give it some time02:29
gneeriiloeepdeerwhy did they move to snap?02:30
ravagethe official statement is that mozilla asked for it02:30
wezsnap is terrible though :(02:30

hypoonQuick question, because I'm not an Ubuntu native. A friend is running Ubuntu. "vi" starts vim, but "vim" does not. Is this normal / expected behavior?02:51
ravagevim should work too02:54
ravagesudo update-alternatives --list vim02:55
ravageshould show a link to vim.basic02:55
lotuspsychje!info vim-gtk02:55
ubottuvim-gtk (2:8.2.3995-1ubuntu2, jammy): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor (dummy package). In component universe, is extra. Built by vim. Size 9 kB / 211 kB02:55
ravageyou can try to set the link with "sudo update-alternatives --auto vim"02:56
lotuspsychjeor does he need this?02:56
ravagethe vim package provices the link to vim, vi, vimdiff, rvim, rview, view and ex02:56
hypoonIt says, "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for vim"02:57
lotuspsychjeah ok ravage02:57
ravagehypoon, does /usr/bin/vim.basic exist?02:57
ravagemaybe try "sudo apt --reinstall install vim-runtime vim"02:57
gneeriiloeepdeerI accidentally clicked to not install the newest privoxy config file, but to keep my configuration. This shouldn't be a problem, correct? Or should I purge, install the newest privoxy from scratch and then modify the file as I want?02:58
hypoonThis is not a big deal, I just was telling him that "vi" is provided by "vim", and that either command will take you to the same place. He said "vi" works but "vim" does not, which surprised me,02:58
ravagegneeriiloeepdeer, you will find the maintainer version in the same directory as your old config file02:59
hypoonHe has /usr/bin/vim.tiny, but no other entries containing "vim" in /usr/bin.02:59
ravagethen he installed vim-tiny and not the complete one03:00
ravageit may not create the vim link03:00
hypoonHe doesn't remember installing it at all.03:00
hypoonI'm figuring it might have been pulled in as a dependency for something else.03:01
ravagelet him run "sudo ln -s /usr/bin/vim.tiny /usr/bin/vim"03:02
ravageand he should be fine for now03:02
enigma9o7[m]vim tiny is installed by default, its a posix requirement to have some vi, and thats the package ubuntu includes by default03:02
hypoonThat makes sense03:02
hypoonThank you both for the clarification!03:03
ravagei think the vim link is not there because its not a complete version03:03
ravageso its more like vi :)03:03
hypoonravage: That kinda makes sense, too.03:05
enigma9o7[m]I have a home network with several linux computers, including debian, ubuntu, and a couple other deriivities.  Sometimes, when I ssh from one to another, I can just `ssh hostname` and sometimes that fails and i have to `ssh hostname.local` and that works.  But sometimes netiehr works and I have to `ssh ip.ip.ip.ip` the long way.  I've never figured out why, anyone know?  I have a jammy machine is one that is requiring me to use the03:10

Sven_vBIf Ubuntu users discover a problem with Ubuntu's debmirror that might be fixed in my fork of it, what would be a good way to inform them that my fork exists?03:27
ravageif the problem is a bug then "ubuntu-bug debmirror"03:29
ravagebut im almost sure that its excatly the version debian uses. so you may also directly try to get your fixes included there03:32
Sven_vBI'll try and see what that would do.03:32
Sven_vByeah, that would be another way I could try03:34
enigma9o7[m]What would be even better would be to PR as high upstream as you can....04:01
enigma9o7[m]If your fork fixed it, and you know what the fix is, PR it to debian or better yet the project itself...04:01

epigramxDoes anyone know how to debug, I had set up on ubuntu server: netplan / networkmanager for wifi to automatically connect, but now it doesn't without any settings changed?07:18
epigramxHrm it required a reboot.07:49
epigramxThat sounds like a bug because it never asked for a reboot at login.07:49

peirikHow can I change view modes in file selections dialogs? Like this one: https://i.imgur.com/tvXyIz4.png10:42
peirikWhen I'm browsing for images I'd really like to see larger thumbnails for instance10:42
mirage_peirik, just mark all file with cntrl+a and after still press cntrl button and move the scroll wheel from your mouse10:44
peirikmirage_: that works in a normal file explorer windows in nautilus, but not in file selection dialogs openend from other programs (like "Save as...", "Browse..." etc.)10:47
rdrpeirik: that is an open bug for 18 years now, someone is working on it now (xdg-portal-gnome) integrating it with Nautilus.  There have been patches for GTK Filepicker but they have been rejected due to performance issues10:56
rdrKubuntu (i.e. KDE) has a different filepicker with thumbnails, but it can be slow, sometimes fials to loads thumbnails, and doesn't load all thumbnails that Dolphin does10:57
peirikrdr: jesus, 18 years? 😯10:59
rdrhttps://wiki.installgentoo.com/images/7/75/Filepicker-new.png11:00
peirikwell then, never mind i guess 😕11:00
rdrit's actually worse at the moment because it's a work in progress, and we don't even have a side thumbnail11:00
rdrbut what I do on GNOME is open a Nautilus (Files) window and drag the file into the open dialog11:00
rdrunlike windows, it doesn't copy the file to that folder, it selects the file you drag11:01
peirikhm 🤔11:01
rdryou can usually also drag it directly into the upload box without opening a dialog, but that can be hit or miss (sometimes you miss and it opens the image in the tab instead)11:02
peirikcool, thats a workaround I guess 🙃11:02

rdrhttps://wintelguy.com/permissions-calc.pl11:08

jhutchinsI see that my ancient (lenny?) server's AVG anti-virus files are dated 2018.  The avg site just automatically downloads a Windows installer, there's no path to any Linux support.14:03
jhutchinsIs there a functional anti-virus for linux these days? (ClamAV doesn't count.)14:03
jhutchins(This would apply to an Ubuntu replacement.)14:03
cbreakyou don't like clamav?14:04
jhutchinscbreak: Correct, I've run it.  The main thing it provides is evidence that you're running a scanner for the auditors.14:04
cbreaksounds like it fulfills the main purpose of an AV then14:05
jhutchinsIt can also be used to provide evidence that you need new hardare.14:05
jhutchinshardware.14:05
jhutchinsI suppose the best strategy is to run something on the Windows clients rather than the server that hosts Windows files.14:06
cbreakI suppose switching the clients to something better isn't viable? :D14:07
cbreakA quick internet search did indicate that there are some commercial offerings for linux, but you've probably done the same search14:07

jhutchinsI keep telling them that one of these days the power's going to go out (it does so reguloarly) and the server isn't going to come back, but they keep deferring anything new.14:09

Macerthere's always option b. just move off of windows completely :)14:10
MacerUPS is just meant for a graceful shutdown anyways14:11
cbreakmight be possible to virtualize the required program14:11
jhutchinsMacer: Not really an option.  If I can't upgrade the server, I certainly can't migrate their OS.14:11
cbreakbut that's not trivial for most end users to handle14:11
Macerjhutchins: probably mostly because most linux distros aren't very certified. plus you'd have to deal with stupid users who are brain washed into windows even though most modern linux interfaces are just as intuitive if not even better14:12
Macerand i guess niche windows only software that companies bought like 20 years ago that MUST function14:12
jhutchinscbreak: This is for two users.  Not really even worth maintaining a server.  I was planning on replacing it with a thumb drive, but I got complaints about it being different.14:12
jhutchinsMacer: There are legal jurisdictions that require a specific document format, and support for exporting to WordPerfect has been intermittent over the years.14:13
Macerexporting to wordperfect? LOL14:13

Macerjhutchins: i figured nowadays nearly everything was pdf14:13

jhutchinsWe're getting pertty off topic here, my question was is there any AV for Ubuntu.14:15

jhutchinscbreak: They bucked the Microsoft trend - a noble cause at the time.14:15
cbreakjhutchins: well, the duckduckgo gave me some pointers, like mcafe, or sophos, but ... not free14:15

jhutchinscbreak: I get lots of hits for AVG, but no downloads.14:16
jhutchins(Except for Windows)14:16
Maceri don't understand how clamav doesn't provide any benefit. maybe i'm missing something here.14:17

rpnxHello, I found a problem with Ubuntu 20 LTS,  there seems to be a denial of service attack zero day against the sshd14:55
rpnxI'm not sure what they're doing, but they seem to be able to hang the ssh daemon with very little network traffic14:55
rpnxI was able to mitigate it by changing the port number that my ssh was exposed on14:55
rpnxHowever, I'm a bit concerned, how could I gather information about this attack to find out how/why the ssh daemon is hanged?14:56
rpnxAn interesting thing about this attack is that it also seems to make samba unresponsive14:57
rpnxSo I am wondering if this could be a kernel level exploit14:57
rpnxAlthough I'm assuming it's more likely some shared resource that's being abused14:57
defianthey, is anyone else getting hiccups on VLC player in 20.04? When I leave VLC playing an internet radio overnight it often stops playing. The debug output says pulse audio underflow.14:59
rpnxhttps://pastebin.com/qqwVYNTG15:00
rpnxyou can see I'm only getting 1 login attempt per 30 seconds ish15:00
rpnxBut when I change the external port forward, I can log into the box15:00
rpnxOn the other hand, if I leave the port set at 22 for server 1, then I cannot log into that server from LAN or WAN15:01
rpnxSamba also fails15:01
oerheksrpnx, i see only 2 ip adresses trying.15:01
oerheks!fail2ban15:02
rpnxI am already using fail2ban15:02
rpnxThose are just the recent ones they are using15:02
rpnxBut I don't think this denial of serivce is from just sending many login requests15:03
rpnxStatus for the jail: sshd15:03
rpnx|- Filter15:03
rpnx|  |- Currently failed:915:03
rpnx|  |- Total failed:816815:03

rpnxAnyway, there is 15 banned IP only15:06
rpnx8168 failed in the fail2ban status, which isn't that many15:07
rpnxI think somehow they are leaving connections open15:07
rpnxOr in some other way tricking sshd into abusing resources15:08
rpnxI am sure there is some kind of denial of service because if I disconnect the WAN or change the port then loggin into the server seems to work fine15:09
rpnxBut I'm not sure how it works15:09
rpnxAny suggestions for gathering this information?15:09
oerheksuse hosts.allow and hosts.deny ? https://docs.rackspace.com/support/how-to/restrict-ssh-login-to-a-specific-ip-or-host/15:09
oerheksthat saves some trouble15:09
rpnxThat wont work because I need to be able to ssh into this server from random locations15:10
rpnx514 IPs that have been banned by fail2ban so far and only 24 hours have past15:10
rpnxand each time ips are banned they just use new ones15:11
cbreakI hope you disabled password login15:11
rpnxI don't but the password has enough entropy I don't think it can be guessed by these bots15:12
rpnxI am not concerned about the login succeeding15:12
oerheksa proper certificate would do too, without password login15:13

rpnxWhy would that protect against DOS attack?15:13
rpnxI thought certificates are for preventing brute force guess attacks15:14
rpnxAm I running out of randomness or something?15:14
rpnxSince this server has a Ryzen processor and ddr4 ecc memory, I would think it would be able to handle a few login attempts15:15
rpnxthis isn't a raspberry pi, I think they are using an exploit for denial of service15:15
rpnxThat's why I want to know if there's a good way to gather information about the logins so that I can report a bug in sshd15:17
rpnxI have seen other servers handle many thousands of login requests with no issue15:18
oerheksWhy do you think there is a bug in sshd? disabling password and using certificates could speed up the check.15:18
oerheksor try cloudflare?15:18
rpnxoh... is it using argon now or some slow hash instead of a fast sha256?15:19

ravagelbracher, any drivers available in "Additional Drivers" ?15:43
lbracherravage, no. And strangely, this same monitor was perfectly working 3 months ago.15:45
ravagecould it just be a broken cable?15:45
lbracherOh, I made it. I just changed the resolution and the image came. Thanks for the ideas! :)15:46

I found guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019 but it is outdated. Anyone made similar configuration and is able to answear a few question?16:33
pelle4Ogra I did'n't do anything special. Today i've deleted Transmission and reinstalled and it says 3.016:36
jhutchinspelle4: I assume you're testing the same torrent, and that Orion is a different client, right?16:38

ChalkyLets give it a go.  After upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 I have lost my wireless connection.  The netplan folder exists but with very little in it.  I am using an old Dell desk with a wireless dongle attached.  I was hoping there would be an installation program avialalbe to reinstall the netork. It all worked before on 21.10.  Had trouble setting that up to but got their in the end.  Searched the web high and low but not found anything to solve this problem as18:38

juoplHi18:59
juoplIs there no stable Wine version for ubuntu?18:59
ravagejuopl, define stable. jammy comes with https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/wine19:00
HAL2000jhutchins: I'm not sure what you mean with that term exactly, AFAIK with unencrypted boot it is possible to compromise the boot sequence since the kernel and initramfs can be modified/patched without me knowing19:00
juoplI installed it from the software center but it doesnt show anywhere19:01
juoplSays its installed but its not visible19:01
mybalzitchjuopl: there is https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu direct from winehq19:01
ravagejuopl, wine is mostly command line. so open a terminal and type "wine"19:02
kostkonjuopl, it's not a program with/that opens windows (excuse the pun) per se. You mostly use it from the cmd19:03

WeeBeyHi frens. I think I need to add something to grub to fix my suspend issues.19:05
ograHAL2000, the normal install process should just detect windows and that there is secureboot enabled and do the right thing ... i dont think yu eed any special guide (canoncal pays for having the secureboot keys signed by microsoft so parallel installs are possible)19:06
WeeBeyOh wait, it's still in /etc/default/grub right? never mind.  UGh these suspend issues. :-(19:06
* ogra throws some spare vowels into the sentence he just wrote before19:06
HAL2000ogra: I tried but I the installer doesn't even give the option to use LVM in the first place, let alone encrypt my boot partition19:09
fengshaunhow do I disable compositing in gnome on ubuntu 21.10? steam games play at 5fps and on xfce they play >60fps19:10
ograHAL2000, the should give you the option to "install alongside windows" and then just DTRT19:10

WeeBeyHi! Ok, could someone help me trouble shoot this suspend issue? When I open the lid I just have a blank screen with ACPI errors. There's nothing I can do. Although when I was testing it I left a "shutdown -r +2" and it rebooted after 2 mins even in the error screen19:17
WeeBeyone of the error says, "ACPI Error: AE_NOT_EXIST, while executing method \_WAK19:18
ograHAL2000, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-installation-on-computers-running-windows-and-bitlocker-turned-on/1533819:19
ogragneeriiloeepdeer, you cn always just hit alt+left/right cursor key to get to the messages ... to actually turn it off though you need to edit /etc/grub/default, drop "quiet splash" from the command line there and run "sudo update-grub" after savin the file19:26
gneeriiloeepdeercurious ogra , I dont have a dir named grub, only a grub.d, but inside there ain't any default file19:29
ogragneeriiloeepdeer, eek, sorry, that is /etc/default/grub indeed19:29
=== eroc19909 is now known as eroc1990
gneeriiloeepdeerapparently this is already solved: no 'quiet splash' in this file.

This is what I want to get rid of19:33

WeeBeyMan, no luck with this suspend problem. Ok, I know y'all busy. Last question. It seems that I can only update my bios if I have windows installed. :-(  Is it possible to install it on a USB external drive and run the bios updater from there without messing up my Ubuntu os drive?19:36
gneeriiloeepdeerpeace of mind19:36
gneeriiloeepdeerJeremy31, output prints a directory, where I found several 0 bit files (like vgubuntu-root)19:38
HAL2000ogra: thx for the guide, will try turning bitlocker off before the install to turn it back on later as stated, leaves me still wondering how my boot partition will be protected against tampering, are the files on there signed and checked by the boot chain that way?19:39
ograHAL2000, read the whole thread, i think there are some useful hints (like only suspending bitlocker to save time etc)19:40
ograHAL2000, kernel and modules are definitely signed, not sure where the initramfs stands though (last time i looked deeper into securebot in 2018 it was not yet signed, 22.04 might do that nowadays though, not sure)19:42
HAL2000ogra: I have shrunk my windows partition already (from windows) to make space, leaving unused space on the disk, still I don't get the "install alongside" option in installer, guess I have to use the manual option19:46
ograhmm, yeah, probably19:47
HAL2000ogra: I see now that it mentions suspending bitlocker instead of disabling (decrypting) haven't seen suspend option anywhere, will look into that19:48
HAL2000ogra: there is no suspend bitlocker option as far as I can see, that aplies maybe to older windows versions and not windows 11 with TPM19:54
ograHAL2000, ah, the dicsussion is also already older ... that can indeed be ..19:55
rob0WeeBey: are you asking here if you can install Windows on USB?  I19:59
rob0'd have no clue, but maybe a Windows place would be better to ask in.19:59
WeeBeyGreat idea rob0. I'll try that.20:00
rob0I've never had problems with suspend in Linux.20:00
WeeBeyrob0, It's this stupid razer blade 15". Lots of things that are a bit annoying.20:00
WeeBeyI somewhat regret getting it.20:01
rob0Another idea is to open a ticket with the manufacturer.20:01
rob0they'll tell you to get lost, most likely, but there ARE Linux-based BIOS updating tools.20:01
rob0if you're lucky they might work with yours20:02
WeeBeyI was just writing that.20:02
WeeBeyHa.20:02
rob0:)20:02
WeeBeyI know a lot of people dual boot (i've seen the questions here) so I was wondering if someone did that (install Win on a USB drive to not mess with the main Ubuntu drive and its partitions)20:02
rob0or maybe theirs will work with FreeDOS; some manufacturers distribute that20:02
rob0I doubt Windows would be fleible enough to boot from USB.20:03
rob0*flexible20:03
WeeBeyrob0, yeah. Doesn't even let you remove Internet Explorer.20:04
WeeBey:D20:04
rob0maybe if you have a second hard drive, you could tell your BIOS to boot from that20:04
rob0why not a smallish partition on the Ubuntu drive?20:04
WeeBeyBack in the day, I remember trying to install windows on the side and I lost grub and Had a hard time booting again into linux.20:04
WeeBeyrob0, Can i partition my main drive without losing data? (as long as it's the free space at the end, of course).20:05
CrucifyyI just use 2 separate SSD's for ubuntu and windows20:06
WeeBeyCrucifyy, internally?20:06
rob0well, um, I'd personally be happier with a full backup if repartitioning20:06
WeeBeyrob0, word.20:06
rob0sure, most systems will let you specify an alternate boot device20:06
CrucifyyWeeBey: Yes20:07
WeeBeyhmmm. Ok, maybe Ill do that this week. AFter all that, I bet you that suspend still won't work.20:07
rob0I have a Win11 Home on a laptop, only taking about 35GB out of 200 (I repartitioned in Windows to make free space.)20:08
WeeBeyIt was working (kinda) in 21.10 but I would lose my touchpad so I would need to reboot anyway after. Now it's just black screen.20:08
CrucifyyWeeBey: To be fair, i never do suspend, I am on Ubuntu for most the day, only time i really every switch over is for playing some games that Linux doesnt support20:08
rob0what did you do to wake it up?  hit Enter?20:08
WeeBeyCrucifyy, Yeah. Desktops are different, I suppose. This is a laptop and it would be nice to close the lid and it wasn't still running and using up battery like crazy.20:09
CrucifyyWeeBey: ahh, i missed the laptop part. My apologies20:09
jhutchinsPeople have been dual-booting linux since very early on.20:09
rob0strange that it does not work20:10
rob0all mine have always worked with suspend20:10
jhutchinsCrucifyy: I have a Dell Lattitude E6540 - at least my third Dell Lattitude, and all have supported suspend to ram and disk out-of-the-box.20:10
rob0and usually just open the lid20:10
jhutchinsResume can be a little un-predictable, sometimes it's just open the lid, sometimes hit a key, sometimes tap the power button.20:11
HAL2000I'm having a hard time to dual boot on my laptop, can't even turn bitlocker off in windows for some reason20:11
rob0I've never bothered with hibernate, because you need an unused swap partition with enough to cover the RAM + active swap.20:12
jhutchinsHAL2000: Secure boot?  What does "hard time" look like?20:12
rob0"hard time", "Cool Hand Luke" :)20:13
HAL2000jhutchins: the option is not present in windows like I see on all kinds of guides/tutorials maybe got something todo with EFI settings or specific hardware implementation20:13
WeeBeyIf you are curious, these are the suspend messages I see when I open the lid20:13
WeeBeyhttps://i.postimg.cc/rsqg59Xh/IMG-20220428-081035.jpg20:13
WeeBeySo for now I'll keep suspen off.20:14
HAL2000It would be nice if it was easy to dual boot Ubuntu with windows using secure boot and full encryption (besides EFI partition itself) but that seems not to be the case, at least for me20:17
EriC^^HAL2000: it really depends on the uefi/manufacturer, it's not that hard but sometimes there are some kinks to work out20:18
WeeBeyHAL2000, I had to turn off secure boot and ended up not having full disk encryption.20:19
WeeBeyWas not happy with how I had to set up this turd laptop.20:19
HAL2000EriC^^: it's Lenovo with AMD CPU20:19
Jeremy31WeeBey: Razer Blade?20:21
HAL2000I would not turn off secure boot if I fail in the end, I would delete windows and run it in VM maybe20:21
WeeBeyJeremy31, Indeed.20:22
EriC^^HAL2000: did you install ubuntu and get it to boot grub?20:22
HAL2000EriC^^: not yet, next option is manual partitioning, was just looking if its possible with installer20:23
HAL2000no I am wondering why I can't even disable bitlocker20:24
peirikIs there a hotkey for "restore all minimized windows"? I know Super+D toggles "show desktop" but that sometimes gets messed up if you open and close an app while "show desktop" mode is on, where toggling off no long works and you have to restore all minimized windows manually :/20:33
HAL2000idd20:53
jhutchinsThe main purpose of Secure Boot is to prevent you from booting or installing an operating system other than the one installed by the OEM (presumably Windows).20:55
jhutchinsHAL2000: Turning Secure Boot off should happen at the pre-boot "BIOS" level, or whatever menu UEFI displays before it goes to hard storage to boot.20:55
HAL2000jhutchins: I am able too boot linux from USB, that seems not to be the problem20:58
HAL2000once you are verified in the one installed it should be possible I think21:01
HAL2000jhutchins: can you give a reference where it is stated that I must turn off secure boot before installing? preferably ubuntu docs21:05
jhutchinsHAL2000: No.  Try it, if it works for you, great.21:08
HAL2000jhutchins: I will, for now I will suspend myself, thx for the help21:09
