=== kaiseisei1 is now known as kaiseisei [01:59] can i upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS? [02:00] !ltsupgrade | loganlee[gnu] [02:00] loganlee[gnu]: Regular upgrades from the last but one LTS release to the latest LTS release, 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish", are enabled days or weeks after 22.04.1 is released. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d [02:00] the users choice to upgrade now or await 22.04.1 loganlee[gnu] [02:01] will it fill my hard drive with redundant files from earlier release? [02:04] loganlee[gnu]: upgrades take over your existing /home if thats what you mean? [02:06] not files in /home but like files from the earlier distro when fresh installed [02:10] loganlee[gnu]: upgrades also respect your installed apps & configs, however its always prudent to make backups and read the questions carefully during upgrade process [02:11] hmmmmm kind of tricky thinking about it... it will upgrade nearly all packages [02:11] loganlee[gnu]: like some apps wont be default in the next release and might uninstall, so its adviced to see the !jammy releasenotes first before upgrading [02:11] !jammy [02:11] Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) is the 36th release of Ubuntu and the current !LTS release – Download at https://ubuntu.com/download :: Release notes at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-notes :: Further schedule at https://ubottu.com/y/jj [02:11] loganlee[gnu]: When you do an upgrade, the files from the new packages replace the files from the old, so it doesn't take much more space than the previous install. [02:12] jhutchins: ok thx! [02:12] loganlee[gnu]: It's just like upgrading a single package with apt. [02:15] (if anything goes well) [02:23] loganlee[gnu]: Also true of a single upgrade. [02:26] I'm struggling. [02:26] my laptop's wifi is becoming unresponsive every few minutes [02:26] or every minute [02:26] I'm tearing my hair out. [02:31] cluelessperson: Start with which release you're on, specify what hardware you have, tell us what you've done so far to support it and to troubleshoot the problem. [02:32] cluelessperson: Verify that all external factors have been checked (Is the AP stable? Is the signal good, steady, and consistent?) [02:34] Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Intel Wireless-AC 9560, 802.11ac Dual Band 2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.1 [02:34] jhutchins, yes the ap is stable [02:34] it's the laptop [02:34] I installed this new version of ubuntu [02:34] wifi was slow in the past, but reliable [02:34] it's faster now, but now unreliable. [02:35] What driver is it using? Most intels use iwlwifi. [02:35] Any clues amid all the noise in dmesg or the journal? [02:37] I think the last intel I saw here was having trouble with DHCP, setting up a static configuration that bypassed NetworkManager fixed it. [02:37] jhutchins, no clues that I see [02:38] I don't think this is dhcp [02:39] You need to check for messages at the time it looses connection, see which service is taking it down (or reporting it). [02:41] jhutchins, I didn't se anything [02:54] quackgyver: Yeah, if it's intermittent and only certain keys, this is very unlikely to be a software problem. But good luck in your efforts to resolve it. I know it's frustrating to have such a basic part malfunctioning, rendering an entire computer hard to work with. [02:55] Thanks. :-) [02:55] I just rebooted and the key doesn't seem to be working. [02:55] It could still be a software issue though. I should test outside of Ubuntu. Perhaps in the BIOS, if possible. [02:56] Can someone suggest a usb wifi adapter that doesn't require drivers that I can just plugin and be happy with on ubuntu? [03:02] cluelessperson: maybe just use dhcp? [03:04] Most USB wifi adapters should work just fine with Linux. === a is now known as Guest6425 [03:05] (At least all the ones I have tried, never a problem. But you can always look up your device online.) [03:06] FWIW iwlwifi has always been stable for me. [03:13] loganlee[gnu], dude, you need to learn what dhcp is. :P [03:13] it assigns the ip addr for you? [03:14] unless perhaps there is a failure in the NIC driver [03:20] cluelessperson: Just hit up Amazon for the terms "usb", "wifi", "linux". It's an easy find really, but you're better off going with the ones willing to explicitly list it as supported. [03:21] InPhase, I don't like relying on bs marketing terms and con artists [03:22] cluelessperson: Well, one needs to filter the reviews in the standard Amazon manner, going by score and then examining for authenticity and crossing out the ones with shady pattern reviews. But it's a pretty reliable process when you go through it. [03:23] https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html [03:27] InPhase, I'm hoping more for "here's a list of linux supported cards that work very very well" [03:29] * cluelessperson tries rob0 's link [03:29] I'm just saying, iwlwifi devices have always worked very well for me. [03:31] But the first one did have a firmware issue; upgrading firmware or the kernel fixed that. (I don't know whether the kernel or the firmware fixed it, because I did both at the same time.) [03:35] cluelessperson: I think most work well now, so it's probably a backwards direction at this stage. === Phase_ is now known as Phase [04:30] !jammy [04:30] Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) is the 36th release of Ubuntu and the current !LTS release – Download at https://ubuntu.com/download :: Release notes at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-notes :: Further schedule at https://ubottu.com/y/jj [05:50] I've just plugged in a usb wifi adapter [05:50] how can I tell ubuntu to use that instead of the internal wifi? [05:52] in 22.04 gnome, wifi in settings shows 2 adapters on the top panel.. [05:53] oh it came up [05:53] and the option is there easily [05:53] nice [05:53] nvm [05:54] okay, problem [05:54] I can't turn off just one of them [05:54] turning one off, turns them *both* off. [05:54] oerheks, ^ [05:55] yes [05:55] maybe in your bios, you can disable internal wifi? [05:55] or blacklist it, comandline [05:55] have you tred turning it off and on again [05:56] or try removing the USB adapter, disabling the internal wifi, then reinsert the USB adapter [05:57] * cluelessperson does ip link set thinga down [05:57] in theory it should show both adapters and give you option to connect from one or the other [05:58] try in terminal lsusb and see if the usb is detected [06:00] I just disabled one with ip link === SQL is now known as CSV === CSV is now known as JSON === JSON is now known as NoSQL [08:08] i'm on an 20.04 box that was provided to me by IT. I don't think they manage the packages on it but when i install snapd it keeps getting uninstalled and i have to apt-get it again to get it back [08:08] is there some process by which a package can get autoremoved like a denylist or something? [08:14] delluser check `/var/log/apt` for what commands are being ran [08:16] thanks Saviq . that sheds some light on the issue [08:16] seems like there is a command being run by something i haven't done anyway... that does [08:16] /usr/bin/apt-get -y -q remove apparmor [08:17] periodically or so [08:18] well not periodically at all. some time after the snapd gets installed [08:18] Fun one. I'd grep for it in `/etc` [08:21] no luck there. searched for remove apparmor and also scanned the output of grep for apparmor to see if i could spot anything [08:22] i'm thinking maybe i could write some wrapper for apt that spits out the parent process details or something sneaky [08:22] checked crontab as user and root aswell. no joy there [09:18] is there a way i can get the touchpad on my laptop to recognise a hold-down left-mouse just by touch rather than having to physically click the pad [09:18] for example i'm trying to use a scrollbar and i want to touch and scroll down but with this laptop i have to physically press the pad and scroll it... [09:18] do i have to install something like synaptics? [09:32] can someone help me out on how can I permanently disable the power button power off / sleep functionallity [09:32] I've tried poking all the way to systemd and still when I press the power button on the keyboard, it shuts down my machine to sleep [09:33] tried setting the Ubuntu Desktop power options, tried adding the ignore switch to systemd settings, nothing works. [09:37] proposed solutions that have been lingering around on i.e. askubuntu.com don't work; such as : gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-suspend "nothing" [09:39] neuromance: Just a short press of the power button causes this? And does the system shut down normally, or does it just instantly die? [09:44] neuromance: It looks like this is tricky to do on Ubuntu proper, but I know from experience it's quite easy on Lubuntu. I have Lubuntu running on an old Chromebook that put the power button where the delete key usually goes. Not fun. Thankfully, Lubuntu provides an option that lets you set the power key action to "Nothing", and on my system, it works. [09:45] arraybolt3: yeah man I've tried asking professional Linux sysadmin/coder chats .... [09:46] I mean it's probably _doable_ by i.e. remapping your keys or something equally crazy [09:47] arraybolt3 , I've got Ubuntu 22.04 desktop and I've set the power setting of the power button to do nothing ... [09:47] neuromance: Does this help? https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/qvqp1w/power_button_shuts_down_laptop_regardless_of/ I know it's for Arch Linux, but it's for the GNOME Desktop, which is what Ubuntu uses AFAIK. [09:48] (It looks like he did something similar to what you did, but without the "button-suspend" bit.) [09:49] that's archlinux tho ... let's see... [09:49] kinda hilarious that something so trivial has been plaguing linux systems for so long [09:49] or it _would_ be hilarious if accidentally pushing your keyboard's power button (that's on the very edge of it) wouldn't put your machine to sleep in a very unclean way [09:50] I can't run the checklist because there's no 'libinput [09:50] there's no 'libinput' on Ubuntu nor can it be installed. [09:50] (via apt) [09:50] neuromance: Can you install dconf-editor? [09:51] oh yep, I'll take a look-see-- it's already installed [09:52] neuromance: Navigate to org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power, and then click the button next to "custom value". Then set that to "nothing" and see if that works. [09:52] arraybolt3 thanks a lot, will try it out! [09:53] neuromance: You may also have to use a hostnamectl tweak to make the setting work if that doesn't do the trick. [09:53] neuromance: If the setting doesn't work, run "hostnamectl chassis laptop" in a terminal, then try again. [09:54] I'm not running a laptop though [09:54] I already had "power-button-action" set to 'nothing' [09:56] ok, so now I've got both the lid-close -actions set to 'nothing' , as well as all the others [09:57] ok so that didn't work [09:57] unless I need to restart gnome === neuromance75 is now known as neuromance [10:00] yeah ... that didn't work.... *sigh* [10:01] I've also set these in /etc/systemd/logind.conf : https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/aem32x/how_to_turn_off_sleep_button_on_keyboard_for/ [10:05] arraybolt3 ok I think I found the solution ... which is to literally edit the keymaps; https://askubuntu.com/questions/362914/how-to-prevent-the-power-button-to-shutdown-directly-the-system <= as replied there [10:05] arraybolt3 'xinput --list' and then edit the entries [10:06] Hey guys, I have Ubuntu 20.04 and I remember to add a kind of "network folder" to access a VPS I have with Ubuntu OS... However, I don't remember how to add this folder which provides direct access to the SFTP of the VPS Server. How can I set up this folder? === pah is now known as pa [10:22] Edit the file : /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet (edit POWR key) <= I have no idea what the original author meant by that [10:24]     key    {      [ XF86PowerOff          ]       }; === soekarno- is now known as cisco === cisco is now known as cisco-- [10:30] can I mirror cgroups with the bind command ? and where are they in ubuntu..
