[00:00] AdmiralNines: If you had to install it, then it probably wasn't encrypted and it won't work or help [00:00] yeah, so what else might cause this then? the strange thing is the folder is still there, but there aren't any files in it. [00:00] Oh you know what, come to think of it, it should be a mounted drive.... [00:00] AdmiralNines: was it mounted before? [00:00] check those mounted disks for errors? [00:00] right [00:01] AdmiralNines, can you paste the outputs of "mount", "df -h", and "fdisk -l" ` [00:01] ?

I DO notice the difference in attitude to help people online from years ago in #ubuntu, and even more years ago(when I didnt get some 27floppy version of linux, started with the letter s, Didnt ever get it running when they wanted a new person to be hazed first.. Things are much better now. [00:08] slackware [00:09] it's back! Whew [00:10] thank you so much guys. I'm glad it was an easy fix.

[02:15] https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-enable-ssh-on-ubuntu-20-04/ [02:16] will need to open port 22 or config it to a diff port as well. 22 is default [02:16] I'm still on 18.04 but I think I can find something equivalent.

That is, how to get a sum up of the installed software and its versions? [11:40] Good morning! I hope you are all well today. [11:41] My simple question is, if I have everything up to date on 22.04, is there a method for seeing a certain package as a newer version that is not out on the official repo queried when I use apt? Basically, I'm wondering if a package has a newer version that is not "official" yet, in attempt to get rid of a package bug. [11:43] WeeBey: Proposed repos [11:43] Jeremy31, ok! Thanks for this keyword. Let me do a bit of searching on this. [11:44] It can be enabled in Software & Updates, Developer options [11:49] Jeremy31, Found it! It looks like the buggy package has an update! Ok, let's give this a shot. I think I need to restart. Be back. :-) [11:50] hey, has anybody recently noticed failures like this during a 20.04 setup? https://dpaste.com/35PWFRTWZ [12:07] I updated from 21.10 to 22.04 and my color profile has been affected - grays are all tinged pink. I tried setting another color profile and my screen went black. Anyone know how to safely change/disable/reset the color profile? [12:07] I had to do a fresh install - because I couldn't see in the dark [12:11] Jeremy31, thanks for the direct answer. I'm not certain if this solved the documented GTK-4 issue, I'll test it for a few days and see. [12:11] Under "Color" in "Settings" there is a "Laptop Screen" profile enabled. Can I safely disable this? Or do I have to remove it to add another? Which other one should I use? [12:12] In the meantime, I still have weird behaviour with Chrome + the save file dialogue (filechooser?). Every time I save, the window getts bigger. So if I ctrl + s multiple times in a row eventually the save window is maximized. Which is weird! [12:12] but the behaviour seems to be gone for other apps at least (e.g., gedit) [12:32] Hi all [12:33] hi [12:45] hi [13:00] nohello.com [13:00] * summonner grins [13:03] :D [13:03] Good webite [13:21] Hello, new here [13:21] Haven't been on irc for more than 20 years [13:21] Installed 22.04 last week and I've been struggling [13:22] 16.04 was so stable and good [13:22] Anyone with problems with 22.04?

[13:51] Hello! Any reason why most of my /lib/modules would be disappearing after a reboot. After `apt-get install --reinstall linux-modules-$(uname -r)` I have 985 files there. After a reboot, only 331. [13:58] spantaleev: an debsums -s reports these files missing? Only from that package or from other packages too? Maybe bad disk then?

Finally, I could reinstall `ubuntu-server` and `cloud-initramfs-copymods`. It doesn't seem to break my modules again..

[14:31] hi :) [14:32] hi [14:32] in my bash in using Ubuntu focal, when I type "rm --" and Tab twice, it shows me supported options. How can I get the same for "truncate --"? [14:33] I know from the man page there aren't that many, but still I get confused when there seems to be no completion for "--si" [14:33] (should be "ze=") [14:38] Sven_vB, that is about 6 months old in the git repo. so it just does not exist yet in the ubuntu package [14:38] you cann add it manually [14:38] what do you mean "that"? the truncate tool? [14:39] The only way I can get zoom to work on Ubuntu 22.04 with okay performance is by installing the deb and running it with "--disable-gpu-sandbox". The flatpak and snap have terrible performance. [14:39] the completion for truncate [14:39] sudo wget -O /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scop/bash-completion/master/completions/truncate [14:39] logout, login [14:40] should work [14:40] The deb without that switch fails to launch [14:40] Paddy_NI, tried the snap? works just fine here [14:40] ravage: Terrible performance [14:40] i never saw zoom as a tool with great performance. but it works [14:41] Every app will have some form of performance metric [14:46] Paddy_NI, if the deb works for you and you only need the regular updates you can try https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get [14:46] it will at least make updating a litle less awful [14:46] ravage: I am well aware of deb-get.

Or you had to change the configuration during the installation ? By default, it was Qwerty on mine and I updated it manually to Azerty.

[21:59] tomreyn, [22:00] morganu, https://www.baeldung.com/linux/find-exec-command [22:02] morganu: ghostscript can do that http://zeroset.mnim.org/2016/06/30/merging-multiple-pdfs-into-a-single-pdf-with-ghostscript/ [22:03] pdftk can do it too [22:03] it depends on how custom the order of the files needs to be [22:03] they all support *.pdf [22:04] ImageMagick is another way [22:04] or pdfunite from the popper utils :) [22:05] https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger even has a GUI. sorry. done now :) [22:06] imagemagick will probably refrain from reading possibly untrusted PDFs by default now. [22:36] tomreyn, oh this is really good. 3rd way in bash to send output from one command to another. working on it. [22:38] ravage, your suggstions sound more workable for the immediate need. order is the order I made the files in/ie modified. . [22:38] huh [22:58] tom, I used pdfunite and the files are rejected. They came from a mac. "couldnt find trailer directory (twice. Couldnt read xref table and could not merge damaged documents ?? [22:58] They came from a mac tomreyn [22:59] mac often is just a little special. === Polo is now known as Josephs [23:37] hello guys [23:38] I'm running into an issue after upgrading from 21.10 to 22.04 [23:38] I can't login anymore [23:38] either it's frozen after trying to login [23:38] or it logs me back out immediately (I don't even see the desktop) [23:39] (using ubuntu 22.04 desktop 64 bit) [23:39] it happened on 2 different virtual machines [23:39] use control+alt+f-keys to get to a console, and try looking through journalctl output to see if you can spot any errors [23:40] good point [23:42] Mister_X: "journalctl -p 3 -xb" if you want to filter for errors as a quicky. [23:43] thanks for the tip [23:46] What sort of rotation schedule does this systemd journal have? This is the first I noticed that I have 2.3GB worth of entries in that going back 4 months. That seems excessive compared to other logging approaches. [23:47] heh, one of my systems, the journal goes back to Wed 2019-05-29 [23:49] InPhase: InPhase: None that I am aware of - I perodically run ' journalctl --disk-usage ; journalctl --list-boots ; sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=100M ; sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2weeks ' to reduce to something more managable. [23:49] there doesn't seem to be anything unusual in journalctl, just some errors with spice-vdagent, and a glib error (I see this error on a newly installed 22.04 working well) [23:49] Bashing-om: That is a strange design choice. [23:51] InPhase: look for SystemMaxUse= in journald.conf(5), that'll show you a *lot* of different configuration options: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man5/journald.conf.5.html [23:51] Hmm. One of my VPS's only goes back about 23 days. Something must be cleaning it up. [23:53] yeah, by default it goes by free space [23:53] it's got a fairly complex formula to try to keep however much logs the available drive space suggests ought to be kept [23:54] I guess that makes sense. It has confined itself well on the one system where I don't have space for it to get that big. This is reasonable enough behavior I suppose. [23:55] now I see some errors. Among them "Failed to start Application launched by gnome-session-binary" and "Failed to start GNOME Shell on Wayland" [23:59] any idea? Google doesn't seem to lead me anywhere useful
