[00:00] <leftyfb> AdmiralNines: If you had to install it, then it probably wasn't encrypted and it won't work or help
[00:00] <AdmiralNines> 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] <AdmiralNines> Oh you know what, come to think of it, it should be a mounted drive....
[00:00] <leftyfb> AdmiralNines: was it mounted before?
[00:00] <oerheks> check those mounted disks for errors?
[00:00] <leftyfb> right
[00:01] <ravage> AdmiralNines, can you paste the outputs of "mount", "df -h", and "fdisk -l" `
[00:01] <ravage> ?
[00:01] <ravage> please use a paste service on the topic :)
[00:03] <AdmiralNines> https://pastebin.com/rMFmetB2
[00:03] <AdmiralNines> there it is, /dev/sda. it's got 4.5Tb
[00:03] <AdmiralNines> well now I feel stupid :)
[00:04] <ravage> mount /dev/sda2 somewhere and you may find your data
[00:08] <morganu> leftyfb, Not a question. 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] <morganu> slackware
[00:09] <AdmiralNines> it's back! Whew
[00:10] <AdmiralNines> thank you so much guys. I'm glad it was an easy fix.
[00:10] <AdmiralNines> I'm just coming off of covid and my brain is not what it was before that.
[00:10] <leftyfb> AdmiralNines: word of advice, disable the root account
[00:10] <leftyfb> AdmiralNines: you don't need to login as root .....  ever
[00:11] <AdmiralNines> thanks for the tip, i'll do that
[02:08] <lotuspsychje> sem: can you please run; apport-collect 1973464 to complete your yesterdays bug?
[02:09] <xheimlich> this isn't really an ubuntu question but I don't know where to start.
[02:10] <xheimlich> I have a laptop running ubuntu and an old chromebook that's able to ssh, within a wi-fi network.
[02:11] <xheimlich> where do I start researching how to set up ssh access from the chromebook to the ubuntu machine?
[02:15] <Crucifyy> https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-enable-ssh-on-ubuntu-20-04/
[02:16] <Crucifyy> will need to open port 22 or config it to a diff port as well.  22 is default
[02:16] <xheimlich> I'm still on 18.04 but I think I can find something equivalent.
[02:16] <Crucifyy> i use PuTTY on my windows machines for SSH
[02:17] <Crucifyy> should be the same commands
[02:17] <xheimlich> this chromebook seems to have a chrome browser extension "crosh".
[02:17] <xheimlich> anyway. thanks.
[02:18] <Crucifyy> no experience here with chrombook, but im assuming anything similar will be gTg
[02:18] <Crucifyy> any time my guy!
[02:29] <xheimlic1> great sucess, thanks!
[02:30] <Crucifyy> absolutely
[02:31] <xheimlic1> I just need to get either screen or tmux now.
[02:31] <xheimlic1> thanks again, this is awesome.
[02:31] <Crucifyy> :) glad its workin!
[03:01] <jhutchins> Is there a way to detect an SSD from the console?
[03:03] <Crucifyy> lsblk
[03:03] <Crucifyy> ?
[03:05] <Bashing-om> jhutchins: 2) ' sudo fdisk -lu ' ?
[03:12] <jhutchins> I don't wee anything there that would identify it.
[03:14] <jhutchins> Ok, lshw -C disk, look up "Product" on the web, it's an SSD.
[03:14] <jhutchins> So it must be a fan that starts rattling when the load is high.  Sounds just like a drive doing lots of seeks.
[03:15] <Guest459> Bonjour, comment allez-vous ? Venez dans ma chambre priv?e - https://shr.li/NVPZ
[03:17] <lotuspsychje> Guest459: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[03:25] <ezra1> i had an ssd that made noise. like a crackling very faint
[03:28] <jhutchins> This sounds just like a thrashing hard drive.
[03:29] <jhutchins> At some point I'll get serious enough to figure out a reliable test to trigger it and open the case to see what's making the noise.
[03:32] <gambl0re> anyone use neovim/vim-plug?
[04:36] <dVVilly> Hi all, is there a known problem with the docker repo with 22.04? I'm running a fresh install of 22.04. Installed; ran apt update/upgrade/dist-upgrade and rebooted. All is great. However, once I run step 3 of adding the repo, I then get "E: Method https has died unexpectedly!" when running apt update.
[04:39] <dVVilly> (sorry, step 3 refers to step 3 on this guide https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/)
[05:20] <dVVilly> I've been able to manually download the relevant .deb files from the docker repo and install with dpkg -i, however sudo apt update still won't run if the docker repo is loaded. To make sure I hadn't done anything stupid I spun up another brand new Ubuntu 22.04 Server Minimal LTS and had the same problem.
[05:46] <rfm> dVVilly, these seem to be problems with docker not ubuntu, so you probably won't get much help here...
[05:50] <dVVilly> rfm: I wasn't sure - it's sudo apt update that's throwing the error, but only when the docker repo is loaded. I've asked in #docker as well to see where I get traction.
[07:50] <bad_sect0r> hi. i am worried about old imagemagick in the official repos for focal/20.04. I know versioned distro packagers usually take a version during development, and then backport security patches to their package. The upstream project has many new releases, is there a process to verify whether the security flaws fixed upstream are tested in the packaged version?
[08:14] <uranus> i need help
[08:56] <neure> hi
[08:56] <Guest9197> I have a problem with my server installation. After a reboot the webserver is unaccessible. I receive error "This page isn’t working If the problem continues, contact the site owner. HTTP ERROR 599" on all networks (www & lan). I have checked apache and all seem to work. I found the following to test the internet
[08:56] <Guest9197> connection-->(https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-test-internet-connection-on-linux), but I don't really know what I'm doing. How can I find out what is causing the problem? Any help is highly appreciated.
[08:56] <neure> how do I fix sshfs mount that used to work but now I get `read: Connection reset by peer` ?
[08:57] <neure> both systems are ubuntu 18.04
[09:01] <neure> nvm, turned out to be host identity changed (reinstalled)
[09:04] <noel_grandin> how do I make it so the Remote Desktop Sharing feature always starts up with the password I enter? Instead of some random string
[09:35] <webchat3> Are the docker bug fixes backported to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS? Due to this issue https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/42680 it's impossible to run Ubuntu 22.04 (or any other GLlibc >= 2.24) images from Ubuntu18.04 without CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges
[09:54] <ivan_> does anyone know hpt top enable the tap to click opetion in kubunut? click the touchpad is annoying. i have the option but it is greyed out
[11:00] <ivan_> hi, i am new to ubuntu. i need to download an app but i need flatback. when i go in discovery it downloads the flatback backend but it wont install my downloaded file...when i start the downloaded app it says it an install it wituout the flatback backend file
[11:01] <ivan_> i am uning kubuntu btw
[11:28] <supremekai> Hey guys, I'm using ubuntu 20.04, how can I "map" the services and other relevant stuff (e.g., pip list) of a certain server in order to "clone" it in another one? That is, how to get a sum up of the installed software and its versions?
[11:40] <WeeBey> Good morning! I hope you are all well today.
[11:41] <WeeBey> 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] <Jeremy31> WeeBey: Proposed repos
[11:43] <WeeBey> Jeremy31, ok! Thanks for this keyword. Let me do a bit of searching on this.
[11:44] <Jeremy31> It can be enabled in Software & Updates, Developer options
[11:49] <WeeBey> 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] <idl0r> hey, has anybody recently noticed failures like this during a 20.04 setup? https://dpaste.com/35PWFRTWZ
[12:07] <adambishop> 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] <adambishop> I had to do a fresh install - because I couldn't see in the dark
[12:11] <WeeBey> 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] <adambishop> 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] <WeeBey> 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] <WeeBey> but the behaviour seems to be gone for other apps at least (e.g., gedit)

[13:21] <jr_>  Hello, new here
[13:21] <jr_> Haven't been on irc for more than 20 years
[13:21] <jr_> Installed 22.04 last week and I've been struggling
[13:22] <jr_> 16.04 was so stable and good
[13:22] <jr_>  Anyone with problems with 22.04?
[13:22] <BluesKaj> ask!
[13:22] <oerheks> ask your real question?
[13:22] <BluesKaj> oops
[13:23] <guiverc> jr_, this is a support room, if you have a support question please ask it.  Keep to a single line if possible, and use #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support talk
[13:23] <oerheks> ' anyone'  is not here right now
[13:23] <BluesKaj> hey oerheks, guiverc
[13:26] <summonner> jr_, did you verify your hardware is fully supported before migrating 16 to 22?
[13:27] <jr_> yes, it's a new machine,
[13:28] <jr_> it's working, but after configurinf a preparing all my work apps, not as stable as I was used to
[13:29] <jr_> My mainly concerns are about vnc
[13:30] <jr_> Still uses a 6 digit password. And if I lock the session, I can't get back remotly
[13:31] <summonner> jr_,  double-check all your power management settings, disable everything (including turning off the screen) and try again
[13:34] <oerheks> known issue, for long time on wayland
[13:34] <oerheks> https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2196
[13:50] <eugenioT> I updated ubunto from 21.10 to 22.04, since that moment I 'm not able anymore to save file from the browser (e.g., chrome) to any folder inside /home/user/, do you know why? any workaround?
[13:51] <spantaleev> Hello! Any reason why most of my /lib/modules would be disappearing after a reboot. After `apt-get install --reinstall linux-modules-$(uname -r)` I have 985 files there. After a reboot, only 331.
[13:58] <alkisg> spantaleev: an debsums -s reports these files missing? Only from that package or from other packages too? Maybe bad disk then? Anything in dmesg?
[14:01] <oerheks> https://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg6013218.html
[14:02] <oerheks> cloud-initramfs-copymods package issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-initramfs-tools/+bug/1967593
[14:02] <spantaleev> alkisg, it does report them as missing. `mount | grep /lib/modules` says `copymods on /usr/lib/modules type tmpfs (rw,relatime,inode64)`
[14:03] <spantaleev> trying to get rid of cloud-initramfs-copymods cascades to remove ubuntu-server as well.. so I haven't tried doing that yet
[14:06] <alkisg> Hmm, never heard of it, but from the description, it's bind-mounting the initramfs dir into the real rootfs dir; so you'd have to unmount that before you apt install to that folder
[14:06] <alkisg> It's weird that it doesn't mount subdirs though and it's mounting the whole modules dir
[14:06] <oerheks> alkisg, +1
[14:07] <oerheks> add yourself to this bugreport
[14:08] <idl0r> is there a documentation about "tasksel tasksel/first multiselect", which values are possible?
[14:08] <lotuspsychje> !tasksel
[14:08]  * alkisg avoids all cloud* packages :D
[14:12] <idl0r> hm, ok, that doesn't list minimal, standard and server
[14:13] <lotuspsychje> last edit was 2012 idl0r so things might need some update
[14:13] <lotuspsychje> or ask your specific issue the the channel idl0r
[14:13] <spantaleev> I fixed it by removing cloud-initramfs-copymods, rebooting (mostly to get /lib/modules without the tmpfs mounting), then reinstalling modules (`apt-get install --reinstall linux-modules-$(uname -r)`). Finally, I could reinstall `ubuntu-server` and `cloud-initramfs-copymods`. It doesn't seem to break my modules again.. Not yet at least
[14:14] <lotuspsychje> !yay | spantaleev
[14:15] <spantaleev> thanks folks!
[14:15] <oerheks> i hope cloud-initramfs-copymod does not keep bugging you
[14:15] <oerheks> let us know if it does..
[14:31] <Sven_vB> hi :)
[14:32] <luna_> hi
[14:32] <Sven_vB> 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] <Sven_vB> 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] <Sven_vB> (should be "ze=")
[14:38] <ravage> 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] <ravage> you cann add it manually
[14:38] <Sven_vB> what do you mean "that"? the truncate tool?
[14:39] <Paddy_NI>  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] <ravage> the completion for truncate
[14:39] <ravage> sudo wget -O /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scop/bash-completion/master/completions/truncate
[14:39] <ravage> logout, login
[14:40] <ravage> should work
[14:40] <Paddy_NI> The deb without that switch fails to launch
[14:40] <ravage> Paddy_NI, tried the snap? works just fine here
[14:40] <Paddy_NI> ravage: Terrible performance
[14:40] <ravage> i never saw zoom as a tool with great performance. but it works
[14:41] <Paddy_NI> Every app will have some form of performance metric
[14:46] <ravage> 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] <ravage> it will at least make updating a litle less awful
[14:46] <Paddy_NI> ravage: I am well aware of deb-get. Cheers though..
[14:47] <ravage> so what exactly is your support question then?
[14:47] <Paddy_NI> ravage: I guess you did not read it properly. I will paste it again
[14:47] <ravage> please dont
[14:47] <eugenioT> Hi all, I updated ubunto from 21.10 to 22.04, since that moment I 'm not able anymore to save files from the browser (e.g., chrome) to any folder inside /home/user/any-folder, do you know why? any workaround?
[14:47] <Paddy_NI> ravage: np
[14:48] <lotuspsychje> eugenioT: chrome is not really a supported browser on ubuntu, try chromium instead
[14:51] <ravage> tried it on my laptop. upgraded from 20.04. saved an image just fine into my downloads folder
[14:52] <Paddy_NI> !wfm > ravage
[14:52] <Paddy_NI> lotuspsychje: Which browsers exactly have you tried so far?
[14:53] <lotuspsychje> Paddy_NI: im not the asker in this matter
[14:53] <ravage> eugenioT, there is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk4/+bug/1971516 . does that sound like your bug?
[14:53] <Paddy_NI> lotuspsychje: apologies
[14:54] <eugenioT> lotuspsychje I was able to save file everywhere with chrome to, up to the system upgrade, I don't understand what is the problem now
[15:00] <eugenioT> ravage I read the bug, seems to be the same I have
[15:00] <ravage> then a fix is already on the way
[15:00] <eugenioT> ravage, so solution is to wait and update the system
[15:00] <eugenioT> well, that's good indeed
[15:02] <transhumanist> hi! where has libopenusb-dev gone in ubuntu 22.04?
[15:05] <ravage> transhumanist, it was removed from the debian repos after buster. so it also vanished from ubuntu now
[15:06] <transhumanist> so whats the replacement?
[15:07] <leftyfb> transhumanist: what errors do you get in it's absence? What application are you trying to run that relies on it?
[15:07] <transhumanist> aqemu
[15:07] <transhumanist> no errors I was just suggested to install it for what I wanted, I will try and do without it
[15:08] <leftyfb> aqemu being an official package in ubuntu, I'm sure doesn't need it
[15:08] <transhumanist> ok good enough, thanks
[15:44] <mahdi_> hey
[15:44] <mahdi_> any body is here
[15:44] <thequila> Hello, I am new here and I wanted to ask you a question about how I should report a bug I found on Ubuntu. I am using an Azerty keyboard, however everytime I start the computer, the login screen requires the password with a default qwerty configuration. I solve my problem by editing  the file /etc/default/keyboard (man keyboard) and I would like to be able to share it with other people. Where should I start with ?
[15:46] <Maik> Launchpad is the place to report bugs
[15:47] <ogra> thequila, file a bug against "console-setup" (which does the system wide keyboard config) ... using the command: ubuntu-bug console-setup
[15:49] <thequila> ok thanks, I will try this
[15:49] <Maik> thequila: weird that you have that issue, i have AZERTY too but never encountered what you're facing.
[15:50] <thequila> I just encountered it on Ubuntu 22.04. On previous version I didn't have the problem
[15:50] <Maik> i have 22.04 on multiple machines
[15:50] <Maik> with Azerty
[15:52] <thequila> And your keyboard was configured as Azerty from the very start when you installed Ubuntu 22 ? Or you had to change the configuration during the installation ? By default, it was Qwerty on mine and I updated it manually to Azerty. It worked, but not for login screen
[15:53] <Maik> i just set the layout in the installer to Belgian-Belgian during the setup
[15:53] <Maik> that's it and no issues at all
[16:06] <Sven_vB> ravage, sorry for the delay. thanks for the download instructions!

[16:12] <fr09> no clue :(
[16:15] <alkisg> Is it a disk or a stick?
[16:17] <atos_> usb stick
[16:19] <alkisg> Sounds like broken hardware
[16:23] <atos_> it's new, used only few times
[16:23] <atos_> :(

[16:57] <ygk_12345> i am trying to set systemd service overrides by issuing the command systemctl edit <service-name>
[16:57] <ygk_12345> but the the value for LimitNOFILESoft is not changing even after systemstl daemon-reload.
[16:58] <ygk_12345> can someone guide me please ?
[16:58] <ygk_12345> its ubuntu 20.04
[17:00] <WeeBey> hi! I'm still trying to solve this "filechooser" problem.
[17:00] <WeeBey> Question: Can "sudo apt upgrade" all packages EXCEPT kernel?
[17:00] <oerheks> ygk_12345, Systemd does not support global limits, the file is intentionally ignored. take a read, you might want to try fs.file-max=65536 to /etc/sysctl.d/90-custom.conf  >> https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6007
[17:01] <oerheks> WeeBey, no
[17:01] <WeeBey> (I didn't see anything like that in the apt manual)
[17:01] <oerheks> unless you pinn your current kernel, but why would you do that?
[17:01] <oerheks> !pinning
[17:02] <WeeBey> oerheks, omit kernel? Cos I have to rebuild vmware modules each time with a custom git and I'm afraid it'll break vmware.
[17:02] <ygk_12345> oerheks so how to modify for a specific process ?
[17:02] <WeeBey> oerheks, cool. I'll look into this.
[17:03] <oerheks> WeeBey, write a proper DKMS module to build yours after installation of a new kernel
[17:03] <oerheks> ygk_12345, that i don' t know, those values are global
[17:04] <WeeBey> okie. Here goes nothing!
[17:05] <ygk_12345> I want the modification only to a specific process. not gloabal
[17:06] <ygk_12345> *global
[17:07] <daum> i'm on 20.04 on a server and recently started getting packet loss.  Looking at the output of ifconfig i see the dropped count slowly increasing.  Any ideas what i could look at to try to resolve this?
[17:15] <WeeBey> Ok friends, this is driving me nuts. I have a very specific question.
[17:15] <WeeBey> the program gedit uses a save file dialogue box (filechooser?) that looks/is different from the one in Firefox/brave/telegram/etc.  What is the one for browsers called?
[17:16] <WeeBey> And is there a way to get those programs (browsers) to use the save dialogue box from gedit?
[17:19] <leftyfb> !bug | WeeBey
[17:20] <WeeBey> leftyfb, I'm trying to find information so I can explain where the bug comes from.
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> daum: try #ubuntu-server or #networking perhaps
[17:20] <daum> ok thanks!
[17:20] <leftyfb> WeeBey: start by just picking 1 application it shows up in. File the bug with as much information as you have and if it comes out that it applies to another application or aspect of ubuntu, the devs will fix the bug
[17:21] <WeeBey> leftyfb, Ok. thanks!
[17:40] <gomez2020> i have a question about rsyslog config
[17:41] <gomez2020> the following log format  date,sendinghost,log1,log2,log2,log4,hostname,log5,log6
[17:41] <gomez2020> the filename now equals the sendinghost but i would like to create a seperate log file based on the hostanme 7 column of the log line
[17:42] <gomez2020> how can i accomplish this?
[17:42] <gomez2020> anybody that can help me out or point me in the right direction
[18:02] <alkisg> template(name="DynaFile" type="string" string="/var/log/site/%HOSTNAME%.log")
[18:02] <alkisg> ...but it'll require a bit more than just that
[18:20] <WeeBey> how can i tell if some software is snap or no?
[18:22] <oerheks> which <application> should show the path, example: which darktable = /snap/bin/darktable
[18:23] <WeeBey> oerheks, awesome. Thank you. Sadly, this does not narrow down my investigation. :D
[18:24] <WeeBey> Actually, it does. I know it's not a snap thing.
[18:24] <Thymo> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 22.04. Before the install I wiped the disk clean and removed all UEFI boot entries. I've tried multiple installs and disk layouts but it appears the installer is not creating a boot entry. I do see a list from efibootmgr in the full log but no creation. What can I do?
[19:48] <Thymo> I solved my problem by installing CentOS
[19:52] <oerheks> We start the clock ...
[20:00] <webchat3698> Hi guys can someone help me I have installed me Ubuntu 22.04 LTS I am on the website BalenaEtcher and wanted to install the have unpacked it and run the file as a program but does not work on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS https://www.balena.io/etcher/
[20:09] <oerheks> here too, webchat3698, file a bug with them; it is not in our repositories
[20:09] <oerheks> just use the standard usb tool? or dd
[20:19] <Maik> webchat3698: or just use Disks  and it's Restore Image feature
[20:29] <webchat3698> Here is the bug de install the Nvidia drivers Fack of NVidia https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/3639 and https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/3755
[20:31] <webchat3698> Never again Nvidia graphics cards. With AMD and Intel you don't have these problems
[20:33] <webchat76> Hello everyone
[21:52] <morganu> Project: to concatenate a directory of PDF files to one file in order.  Not paying for acrobat. What is there so I dont have to type in every file name in the directory?
[21:53] <morganu> date of madification order I think.
[21:57] <tomreyn> combine find and exec for tool which can join pdf files
[21:59] <morganu> I dont knoe enough to tell that. exec is a command that executes a file (man says) .. this is unclear.
[21:59] <morganu> tomreyn,
[22:00] <ravage> morganu, https://www.baeldung.com/linux/find-exec-command
[22:02] <sarnold> morganu: ghostscript can do that http://zeroset.mnim.org/2016/06/30/merging-multiple-pdfs-into-a-single-pdf-with-ghostscript/
[22:03] <ravage> pdftk can do it too
[22:03] <ravage> it depends on how custom the order of the files needs to be
[22:03] <ravage> they all support *.pdf
[22:04] <ravage> ImageMagick is another way
[22:04] <ravage> or pdfunite from the popper utils :)
[22:05] <ravage> https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger even has a GUI. sorry. done now :)
[22:06] <tomreyn> imagemagick will probably refrain from reading possibly untrusted PDFs by default now.
[22:36] <morganu> tomreyn, oh this is really good. 3rd way in bash to send output from one command to another. working on it.
[22:38] <morganu> ravage, your suggstions sound more workable for the immediate need. order is the order I made the files in/ie modified. .
[22:38] <Polo> huh
[22:58] <morganu> 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] <morganu> They came from a mac tomreyn
[22:59] <morganu> mac often is just a little special.
[23:37] <Mister_X> hello guys
[23:38] <Mister_X> I'm running into an issue after upgrading from 21.10 to 22.04
[23:38] <Mister_X> I can't login anymore
[23:38] <Mister_X> either it's frozen after trying to login
[23:38] <Mister_X> or it logs me back out immediately (I don't even see the desktop)
[23:39] <Mister_X> (using ubuntu 22.04 desktop 64 bit)
[23:39] <Mister_X> it happened on 2 different virtual machines
[23:39] <sarnold> 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] <Mister_X> good point
[23:42] <Bashing-om> Mister_X:  "journalctl -p 3 -xb" if you want to filter for errors as a quicky.
[23:43] <Mister_X> thanks for the tip
[23:46] <InPhase> 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] <sarnold> heh, one of my systems, the journal goes back to Wed 2019-05-29
[23:49] <Bashing-om> 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] <Mister_X> 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] <InPhase> Bashing-om: That is a strange design choice.
[23:51] <sarnold> 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] <InPhase> Hmm.  One of my VPS's only goes back about 23 days.  Something must be cleaning it up.
[23:53] <sarnold> yeah, by default it goes by free space
[23:53] <sarnold> 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] <InPhase> 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] <Mister_X> 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] <Mister_X> any idea? Google doesn't seem to lead me anywhere useful
