[00:07] Got a question about .desktop file syntax [00:08] This particular line: Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/.wine" /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine /home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ $x86$/Some\ Program/Program.exe [00:08] hmm, so nvidia-utils-510-server and nvidia-cuda-toolkit conflict? [00:08] It works the way its intended, but is it the correct way? Or is there no "right" way as long as it works? [00:11] WaV: usually it's just a simple command [00:11] like "firefox %U" [00:11] rdr: The reason I ask is because with most programs that run behind wine, I see the Exec line in the .desktop file with something like "wine start /unix c:\\\\windows etc etc" [00:12] not sure, most of my wine stuff is just steam games handled through proton [00:12] i think that's just different ways of doing it [00:14] Like I said, it runs the program under the most recent wine-staging as opposed to the system wine, and it runs under the correct wine prefix and everything. I just wasn't sure if the syntax was right or if i should even worry about syntax if it's running as expected. [00:14] (running wine-staging is expected) [00:14] yeah if it works it doesn't matter if it's a little scuffed [00:14] cool [00:14] did playonlinux make the desktop file? [00:15] PlayOnLinux foobared the desktop file and I fixed it I guess you could say. [00:15] Wouldn't run at all. [00:16] PlayOnLinux had something like Exec=/usr/share/playonlinux --run "Program" %F [00:16] which did nothing [00:31] what is the keystroke to give me the list of key commands? Please 20.04 [00:31] I keep trying super this and that. [00:32] morganu: tab key? [00:32] oh no I turned on reading text. How to turn it off.? [00:33] is reading as I type. [00:33] morganu: maybe windows+h ? [00:33] windows plus h isminimizing windows one at a time. [00:34] it brings this up as an infopage but not in chrome, just in ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/shell-keyboard-shortcuts.html [00:35] How do I get this to stop reading what I type and the title of every web page that comes up. [00:35] It even reads chars I cant see. [00:35] Ha! Ha! [00:37] I tried activities but it just gives me a program (that I havent installed) that will read ebooks aloud. [00:37] Help this is reading every key I type out loud. [00:38] including shift keys [00:39] will reboot. [00:46] is there a way to restrict the audio slider from wildly wiggling around on its own? [00:46] its quite annoying because it creates a crackling noise [00:47] hello [00:48] on the cli how can I tell what ports are "open" [00:48] davetoo_: Did you purposefully give malicious advice? [00:48] or rather how do I even know the firewall is working? [00:48] I have a feeling it must not be [00:48] by default [00:49] davetoo_: Nevermind, I see sarnold said to use Win+H. I'm pretty sure he's not malicious, so this was just a mistake. Sorry, there was a channel emergency yesterday and I'm still a bit touchy after that... [00:50] de-facto: maybe whatever application you're using has a setting for automatic gain or automatic output levels or something [00:50] And I can't read... I'm getting the order of events all confused. [00:50] sarnold, what is that? never heard of that? [00:51] i am using firefox watching youtube [00:51] Peppi-: iptables -L ? ss -lnp ? [00:51] how can i disable automatic gain? [00:51] i dont want any program to be able to control volume levels at all [00:51] de-facto: oh weird, I thought you were using MS teams or skype or something like that [00:51] not even tried that yet [00:52] sarnold, Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. [00:52] its an issue i always have with any version of ubunut [00:52] but think I might have it figured [00:52] for years already [00:52] basically anything autio is not really usable [00:52] *audio [00:54] sometimes its so bad that it only crackles, other times it perfect [00:54] SOLVED: System Settings -> Universal Access -> Seeing -> Screen reader -> Off Or a hotkey "Alt-Super-S" [00:54] when it crackles i can see the audio slider wiggling around like crazy [00:54] by itself [00:54] morganu: woot [00:55] that was after rebooting didnt work. [00:55] It is called "narrator" but searching on the word accessibility worked. [00:56] sometimes my audio on zoom makes me sound like minnie mouse but not always. In any meeting it is either all fine or all squeaky. (not asking for help just commenting.) [00:57] I have given up and use a tablet [00:57] morganu: heh, yeah, I've been doing all my meetings on an old android phone, their bluetooth works way better.. [00:58] morganu: I'm hoping that pipewire in 22.04 works well enough for the newer bluetooth codecs, I'm looking forward to trying it.. my ancient android phone has some hardware problems, one of these days it's not going to survive a reboot.. === dostoevsky6 is now known as dostoevsky [01:44] My 6700xt fans wont ramp up. and my, mem 86c, junction 105c, edge 85c, === keypushe- is now known as keypusher [02:16] sarnold, what is pipewire... PipeWire PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It provides a low-latency, graph based processing engine on top of audio and video devices that can be used to support the use cases currently handled by both pulseaudio and JACK. [02:16] Pipewire is to pulseaudio as pulseaudio was to alsa? :P [02:17] PipeWire is a multimedia framework [02:17] Unit193: more like s/pulseaudio/pipewire/ ;) [02:17] I havent used those things. [02:17] sarnold: Hmm? pipey means to replace pulsey. [02:18] Unit193: you know how gnome folks like to throw away and replace programs every few years? it took a bit longer with pulseaudio than usual .. [02:18] Unit193: yeah [02:18] I switched to pipewire twice, twice I ran into issues and had to go back. [02:19] sarnold, I understand that kind of thing. I have an old android tablet that cannot see a BT5. earbud etc. [02:19] Target used to have cheap phones. [02:20] Unit193: for that authenticate pulseaudio replacement experience? :) [02:20] it only took five-ish years for pulseaudio to get stable enough to use daily without pulseaudio -k first..

How would I best go about this? [02:50] I hear good things about certbot [02:51] Isn [02:51] I also hear good things about https://caddyserver.com/ but that's a pretty big switch [02:51] 't cert bot for server-side certs? [02:52] yes, that's normally what people update, heh [02:53] I'm looking to update my client-side certificate authority stuff -- I'm having trouble connecting to many TLS servers. I have installed the latest ca-certificates package, I think. [02:54] quite often site admins won't use the complete chain of certs; it's worth trying https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?viaform=on&d= on the sites you're using and seeing if they're misconfigured [02:58] I'm pretty sure my CA certs are the same as they were in 2016, and my distro, a xenial compatible, hasn't received an update for them afaik. [03:04] Nearrexa: So you're running a non-Ubuntu installation that's six years old? I would expec a number of things to be different, and if you were to try to fix it using Ubuntu 16.04 files or packages, you're likely to make things worse. [03:05] Nearrexa: Does the "compatible" distro not have any updates or upgrade path? [03:05] jhutchins: I'm already using Ubuntu packages -- it's a Puppy. [03:06] Nearrexa: Mixing packages from different distributions is a great way to get practice doing clean reinstalls. [03:06] it is not supported here. seek support with their support channels :) [03:07] ravaege: Alright. Do you think you could direct me to a channel where this is on-topic? [03:07] no idea. maybe https://forum.puppylinux.com/ ? [03:08] Nearrexa: Theoretically, you should be able to find, download, and install the certs on your own, but I'm not sure where you'd find anything step-by-step. [03:08] ravage: I'm not looking for a Puppy-specific solution, just where to find CA certificates that are up-to-date. [03:09] Nearrexa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority [03:09] Start there. [03:09] jhutchins: Is there maybe an index of some current consensus on root certs? [03:09] Nearrexa: I'm pretty sure there have been some changes in the signatures and encoding over that period. [03:10] Nearrexa: Maybe some of the older TLS howtos would have more details on how to build the chain. http://tldp.org [03:11] Nearrexa: iirc you also have to identify and remove the certificates that have been revoked. [03:12] jhutchins: That's fair. I'll try and see where I can get them, thanks for your help. [03:12] Nearrexa: https://www.exoscale.com/syslog/securing-web-properties-through-https/ [03:14] The older and more generic docs are going to have more detail on the manual procedure. [03:15] jhutchins: Not quite sure how that link would help, appears to be for servers mainly. [03:16] Nearrexa: Once you understand what's happening at the server end, you'll know what has to happen on the client end. [03:16] Nearrexa: I did a search on "tls howto" and there are several docs. [03:16] It used to be necessary to set this stuff up manually on both ends. [03:17] Lots of fun figuring out how to make a secure connection to a server that hasn't had anybody who knew how to make changes for years. [03:17] "We fired those guys.

[03:21] jhutchins: My main issue isn't not understanding how TLS works in detail, it's not knowing where I can get accurate, recent certificates, I have a basic understanding about where to put certificates -- for me, they all appear to be in /etc/ssl/certs, in PEM format, and bundled into a ca-certificates.crt, presumably by update-ca-certificates [03:21] Thanks [03:21] Have fun [03:41] mlaga97.

[09:28] I can't work with driver version 515 nor 510 anymore ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-modules-nvidia-510-generic-hwe-22.04 : Depends: linux-modules-nvidia-510-5.15.0-32-generic (= 5.15.0-32.33) but it is not going to be installed [09:29] I had no problems running Nvidia drivers v515 (RTX 30-series) up until this morning [09:30] the 5.15.0-32 kernel bump apparently broke it all since there's no nvidia packages for that, not in nvidia's own repositorys, not in the graphics ppa, not in ubuntu's proposed repos ... [09:30] can't use nvidia's drivers v515 nor 510 ... [09:31] (;__;) [09:32] the card is right there with 'lspci' [09:35] neuromance, -proposed is something you should never enable permanently, it is the repo to check for broken dependencies ... [09:35] (before something goes into the archive) [09:39] am wondering though over why is Nvidia offering only 510.68.02 as their latest Linux drivers for GeForce cards, and yet I can see v515 [09:40] also, running the Nvidia updater from their pages thinks I still have the driver v.515 installed even though I've purged+autoremoved it [09:44] ERROR: Failed to run `/usr/sbin/dkms build -m nvidia -v 510.68.02 -k 5.15.0-32-lowlatency`: Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 5.15.0-32-lowlatency cannot be found. [09:44] Please install the linux-headers-5.15.0-32-lowlatency package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located. [09:44] ^ any ideas? [09:46] you have a pretty messed up system ... did you do something like enabling proposed and running "sudo apt install nvidia*" ? [09:46] (seems you have many different flavours of the drivers installed) [09:47] Reinstallation of linux-headers-5.15.0-32-generic is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [09:48] ogra nope, but I run the Nvidia devkits on this [09:48] should I just purge all nvidia drivers and try from there on? [09:48] disable proposed (and leave it off), remove all nvidia driver packages you can find, make sure you have only linux-generic installed and running, then re-install 510 from the archive [09:49] ogra already disabled proposed ... [09:50] ogra thanks for the help. FYI; this is what I've got installed. https://pastebin.com/4BvatNX1 [09:51] right, so try to move on from there ... try cleaning up all the nvidia packages, use apt remove --purge to make sure their config files are also gone (there is a lot "rc" in your list) [09:52] thanks, will do, thank you so much for the help. [09:52] ... make sure you only have linux-generic and its whole dependency chain installed [09:53] then re-install the driver (preferably through the software-sources gui tool) [09:53] ogra however my main concern is that the kernel got bumped to "5.15.0-32" with the latest update; my sysinfo says I'm running "5.15.0-32-lowlatency" [09:54] (idk if I should run "generic" instead of "lowlatency" ? what's the differnce?) [09:54] why did you install that flavour at all ? [09:54] this is a pretty new workstation [09:54] lowlatency is needed for something like realtime audio processing, i.e. if you want to run a recording studio [09:55] it is optimized for such a use case ... [09:55] if you did not know what it is when installing it, why did you install it ? [09:55] well, this is a neural network training workstation [09:56] ogra it was the only package available for this new kernel bump [09:56] I do run TimeShift so I could always revert [09:56] well, it is not available yet [09:56] you pulled it from a testing repo (-proposed) that is not for general use [09:57] yep ... I've usually used it without much hassles though, and I've noticed that if I don't enable it, something else gets dragged behind [09:57] enabling proposed and blindly running something like apt upgrade or apt ful-upgrade will definitely mess up your system [09:57] well there we go again. [09:58] you should only enable it to pull a single package or a single set of packages for testing, then diable it again ... never do a full system upgrade with it enabled on a production system [09:58] just what am I supposed to trust then when these are always coming through the software updater, and there's constant security bulletins on new threats and how you should keep up to date..etc. [09:58] 22.04 worked pretty bad for me initially [09:59] it does for me too [09:59] the only way it started to work somewhat "as expected", was to enable the proposed [10:00] I mean with all due respect, it's an absurd statement of "not installing updates if you don't know what they are"? are you implying that I should go through the code myself whenever there's an update to my existing packages? [10:00] and even then ... how would I know if they work without trying them? [10:01] neuromance, well, did you read the text above the proposed option in the software-settings app when you turned it on ? [10:01] ogra yes I did, and that's why I'm reverting with timeshift atm [10:01] neuromance, really ? [10:02] well, I just wanted people to know that it's broken and there's that [10:02] neuromance, i'm talking about this text that says that it will introduce instability: https://askubuntu.com/questions/785414/is-it-ok-to-enable-proposed-updates-during-ubuntus-development-cycle [10:02] so that other people don't end up in the same situation if they i.e. have the proposed enabled [10:02] (IIRC it did not change since xenial, should still say the same (no english install here)) [10:02] neuromance, well do not enable it [10:03] yes, since there's no way to back it up because there's dependencies that aren't there yet, I'll just revert from my Timeshift dailies. [10:03] I mean "back it up" = revert [10:03] right, and leave proposed off unless you want to test a single package [10:04] (or someone asks you to in a bug conversation on launchpad) === dostoevsky9 is now known as dostoevsky === dostoevsky9 is now known as dostoevsky === dostoevsky7 is now known as dostoevsky [12:08] Hi all [12:13] Hi all my friend uses Pysolfc, since 22.04 its broken, is the package broken or something, it starts and directly closes after launch [12:16] ltrace/strace === dostoevsky2 is now known as dostoevsky [12:28] how might I remove or disable netplan?

[13:47] https://imgur.com/QqO3kp4 [13:47] i dont see screen sharing and remote desktop goes on by it self [13:48] you seem to have posted the same image 3 times now, intentional? [13:49] Hey folks, I am trying to use the minimal Ubuntu images. [13:49] My goal is to create a small custom image to use for common troubleshooting cases. It would be nice for that image to be extremely small. [13:49] That said, these minimal cloud Ubuntu images seem to require uv-tools and might not be fully compatible with common virt-xxxxxx commands. [13:49] Is there a better image that could be leveraged? [13:49] eno1: what happens when you click on the button to the right of the "Sharing" window title in the title bar? [13:49] tomreyn, likely because three times is a charm 🙂 [13:49] https://imgur.com/E02VAwj [13:50] BaconPackets, live-server should be perfect for thath [13:50] tomreyn: it goes off but as i restart it goes on automatically [13:51] eno1: so you are able to activate screen sharing. you are not able to permanently deactivate it - that's understood, which is why i suggest reporting a bug on that. but i'm now trying to understand why you are saying it is not usable when it's active? [13:52] tomreyn: its not usable yes [13:52] eno1: can you explain why you are saying so, how you tested, which errors you encountered? [13:52] and it autostart by it self on system restart i think i will go to reinstall Ubuntu its very weird because i did not tweak or installed anything else [13:53] oerheks - Do you have a direct link to those .img? I am trying to sort three the 4-6 different .img Ubuntu seems to offer. '=D [13:53] eno1: reinstalling won't help overcome an actual software bug. [13:53] https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/22.04/release/ [13:54] tomreyn: how i can share my laptop screen on smart tv if there is not an option [13:55] oerheks: thanks for the link [13:55] eno1: you attach a cable to the tv's hdmi or DP or USB-C port for video signal input [13:55] chromium [13:55] if you have roku [13:56] eno1: that's not remote desktop / desktop sharing [13:56] what i should download ? descent i tried everything [13:56] sudo apt install chromium-browser [13:56] eno1, does your TV have a chromecast app ? [13:57] you can use chromium to share to a chromecast ... and there is mkchromecast in the arhive to do dsktop charing via the chromecase protocol [13:57] *archive [13:57] geez ... my typing [13:58] i think roku shows up in chromium too [13:58] well, most android TVs have chromecast preinstalled nowadays anyway [13:58] for others you might need some extra app ... like roku [13:59] so i cannot share my laptop screen wirelessly on my smart tv ? [13:59] you can with mkchromecast [13:59] im on a new samsung tv [14:01] thanks guys <3 [14:02] im going to install older build thanks [14:02] * ogra wonders what that means now ... [14:02] ... but we'll probably never know 🙂 [14:02] unless "it does not work" [14:03] i don't expect i can count on them to file the bug also [14:07] network-config isn't preserving the network state I have configured and one bridge device isn't staying disabled, what can I try? [14:07] apt update [14:07] hey! [14:12] I have a broken package where libnvida-common can't be removed and it conflicts with libnvidia-common-510 [14:22] ooh, I mayve purged all nvidia packages. [14:25] rrr: if you make changes in network-manager (though i'm not sure what "network-config" is?) they should persist, unless you have setup something which creates configurations outside of it. [14:25] my guess is you're using some third party vpn which comes with broken scripts. [14:27] well the vpn is doing okay, I didn't suspect it. [14:27] it is using network-manager as well. [14:55] ahh hah, my problems resolved. [15:06] We may never know ... [15:07] maybe he edited resolv.conf [15:08] and dumped network-manager...that method used to work before systemd [15:31] open source nvidia provide drivers... [15:31] what's that [15:33] !ot | rrr [15:33] rrr: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:36] I am already registered [15:37] is there a better tool than netstat or ss for checking the network bandwidth usage from one particular process? [15:41] BUSY: I think you'd probably have to get into something like Wireshark that can examine packets in order to categorize what traffic is associated with what process. [15:41] BUSY: Some routers have that kind of capability. === dostoevsky0 is now known as dostoevsky [15:57] rrr: just to let you know that offtopic is a better place to discuss that [15:58] Hello, I got a question concerning setting up NThost in my inittab. Now Ive understood that inittab no longer excists in Ubuntu (for a while now but hey never heared of it :P) But how can I sort this out and where about should I add this piece of code? [15:58] The code: pvx1:235:respawn:/pxplus/pxplus \*nthost -ARG port uid umask >/dev/null Where pvx1:235:respawn 'inittab' parameters that cause UNIX to spawn *NTHost at all normal execution levels and keep it running.

Now Ive understood that inittab no longer excists in Ubuntu (for a while now but hey never heared of it :P) But how can I sort this out and where about should I add this piece of code? [16:01] To run *NTHost as a UNIX service, add a line similar to the following to the system 'inittab' file (usually in the directory /etc/): [16:01] pvx1:235:respawn:/pxplus/pxplus \*nthost -ARG port uid umask >/dev/null Where: [16:01] pvx1:235:respawn [16:01] 'inittab' parameters that cause UNIX to spawn *NTHost at all normal execution levels and keep it running.

[16:02] Wlamber: please read what ubottu told you above. last chance. [16:03] Wlamber: you can talk again now, but don'T copy and paste again [16:05] Hello, I got a question concerning setting up NThost in my inittab. Now Ive understood that inittab no longer excists in Ubuntu (for a while now but hey never heared of it :P) But how can I sort this out and where about should I add this piece of code? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qfQc8pKyx5/ [16:06] Wlamber: which ubuntu version are you running, and how did you install pxplus (and which version of it)? [16:06] we usually only support software which comes with ubuntu here, you may or may not be able to get support here with pxplus [16:07] I am running Ubuntu server 20.04. Pxplus isnt installed as a service, it just registered itself to get a serial code. Its located in the /home/pxplus directory (need to chance that in the innit file ofcourse) [16:08] And the pxplus version is PxPlus Development Suite 2021 Sep 2021 (Current Build V18.20) [16:10] Wlamber: so you downloaded the "Ubuntu Version 20 (Focal Fossa) (64 Bit)" archive named pxp1820-0000-U20-64.taz from https://home.pvxplus.com/pgsrvr.pvp?pg=dl_pxp1820 and unpacked it in your /home/someusername ? [16:10] correct, it is running so thats all fine [16:12] But when a client connects that NThost should start a new instance (if I understand it correctly) Their installation guide tells me to add that pastbin code to the innittab file, but Ubuntu no longer uses that but instead uses Upstart, but I am a tad bit lost with that :) [16:12] https://manual.pvxplus.com/PXPLUS/windx/nthost.htm this is their guide written out [16:15] talk to "pxv plus" and ask them to fix their "Ubuntu 20" release - which is actually "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS". Ubuntu 20.04 uses systemd, inittab has not been supported for a long time. They will need to come up with a systemd unit. === dostoevsky7 is now known as dostoevsky [16:16] (you could also learn to write a systemd unit which does this yourself) [16:16] since its one line I recon that would be the easyest way (doubt theyll add that code) [16:18] Wlamber, well, inittab has not been used for more than a decade in ubuntu (or most other major linux distros) [16:21] ogra that explains why I never heared of it, Ill try finding out how to write that piece of code in a systemd command. Do you guys perhaps have any pointers for where I could look? :) [16:26] Wlamber: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man5/systemd.service.5.html [16:27] and http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man5/systemd.unit.5.html [16:28]
