blahboybazDumb question.. but isn't there a way to write the command (with apt) so that it does both the update and upgrade commands in one? I'm not taling about concatenating command with ";" or "&&" either. I mean like adding a flag to apt upgrade or something similar01:13
sarnoldnot that I know of01:15
bahamatblahboybaz: It's kind of cheating, but I do this: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -u01:19
arraybolt3[m]blahboybaz: I don't believe so, but I also don't think there's a need for something like that. The software database has to be updated before apt can tell what to upgrade, so something like "apt update-and-upgrade" would have to do the same thing or almost the same thing as "apt update && apt upgrade" anyway.01:19
arraybolt3[m]blahboybaz: (I do "apt full-upgrade" a lot of times, since that does a more thorough upgrade job.)01:20
sarnoldmaybe this is why I've heard people say arch's "pacman -Syu" is the easiest and most convenient thing ever01:20
sonicwindanother option... use the alias command to type one and get both?01:21
arraybolt3[m]Length of "pacman -Syu": 11 chars. Length of "apt update && apt full-upgrade": 30 chars plus a Y for confirmation. I'll take a bit extra typing over a spontaneously broken system any day of the week.01:22
sarnoldsonicwind: hah it sounds a bit obvious once you say it01:22
sonicwindwas my first thought sarnold01:22
sarnoldit's funny, I've got acsh and acs for apt-cache show and apt-cache search; I use them a thousand times a day01:23
arraybolt3[m](Not to bash Arch - I've used it, it's cool, but it's way too fragile for my tastes. I enjoyed fixing it when things went wonky, but I don't want to have to fix everything in the middle of my workflow.)01:23
blahboybazbahamat: right on.. arraybolt3[m] Well I feel it would be more conventient to run 1 command than 2 but what do I know?01:30
blahboybazI suppose I could make an alias01:30
ravagemy alias is "up". it executed a shell script with sudo. and that command is in sudoers without password01:31
blahboybazsonicwind: Just saw your comment - yep01:31
ravagescript executes: apt update && apt -y full-upgrade && apt -y autoremove && needrestart -rl01:31
jhutchinsBlackDex: apt update && apt full-upgrade02:08
jhutchinsblahboybaz:^02:08
jhutchinsblahboybaz: I have aliases on all my machines for that.02:09
jhutchinsblahboybaz: You can add a -y to the upgrade, but I prefer to check what's happening before I say "go".02:09
jhutchinsbahamat: I see you beat me to that.02:10
bahamatYou gotta be quick on the draw.02:11

acegallagherheyyyy. i have an obscure question. i'm working on this stupid SBC (nanopi) from friendlyelec... and I'm using their "lite" distribution. which it turns out is off of ubuntu-base.. it's on a 9 partition disk that appears to be overlayfs/tmpfs04:14
acegallagheri'm trying to resize the final partition so i can shrink the disk image, but when I do so and attempt to boot... it's not mounted as an upper and the error "failed to verify upper index dir xattr, try deleting index dir or mounting with "-o indexoff" to disable inodes index"04:15
acegallagher... where is the "index dir" to delete so it will rebuild that?04:16
jaafarHey experts, how do I update to 22.04 via cli? do-release-upgrade says I have to change my upgrader to "normal" from lts04:42
jaafarbut both 20.04 (my current release) and 22.04 are LTS so it should work fine04:42
enigma9o7[m]ya you're early but you can force it now if you want to live on the edge04:43
Bashing-om!upgrade04:43
ubottuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade04:43
jaafarenigma9o7[m]: thanks! Looks like the issue is I can't upgrade until the first "point release" is available.04:45
jaafarwhich is a bit confusing04:45
jaafar22.04 is "released" but you can't upgrade to it normally until there is a 22.04.104:46
enigma9o7[m]Hmmmm sorry for the confusion.04:46
enigma9o7[m]Correct.  It's released for clean installs.04:46
Bashing-omjaafar: as enigma9o7[m] said - one can force the upgrade early.04:46
enigma9o7[m]They want to work out all the issues before production LTS systems are offeredt he upgrade.04:46
jaafargotcha thanks enigma9o7[m]04:47
enigma9o7[m]You can upgrade now tho, if you're willing to deal with aything that doesnt work perfect.04:47
enigma9o7[m]i dont recall the command tho which you probably want... it has a `-d` in it I think ;)04:47
jaafarapparently I just need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades04:48
jaafarand say I am no longer on the lts bus04:48
Bashing-omjaafar: No; changing the prompt from "LTS" will then attempt yo install the next release in line - 21.10. the comannds with prompt at "LTS": ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt di-release-upgrade -d ' will bring 22.04 .04:51

cousin_luigiGreetings.07:20
cousin_luigiI installed ubuntu 20.04 in a vm but even after installing the relevant virtualbox dkms package the screen is not resizing07:20
alkisgDid you install the virtualbox guest extensions inside the VM? And which graphics driver do you have in the VM settings?07:21
cousin_luigialkisg: Oh, I was missing the virtualbox-guest-x11 package07:25
alkisg👍️07:26
cousin_luigiThanks.07:26
alkisgNote that even without it, the guest properly fits the window on boot if you  select vboxsvga07:26
alkisgIt won't automatically resize later on, but it can be resized with an xrandr command however you position the window07:26

ztaneupgraded to 22.04 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T480... I've set cpu frequency scaling in menu to "performance"08:03
ztanehowever while in teleconferencing with firefox + webrtc, the cpu frequency drops something as low as *200Mhz* :D08:04
ztaneI've never even seen such a low frequency, before if the power dropped to 2 % or so I've seen 400Mhz to save battery in *powersave* setting... there is nothing related in dmesg either :(08:05
ztane... it is a bit hard to do webrtc with 200mhz clock on cores, it processes only 100 ms of sound every second and so...08:06

ahcSo, I have a 2nd hdd. Presently its mounted as /media/driveb   Should I mount it or alias it off the root directly   /driveb ?08:31
oerheksno, /media for manually mounted/inserted media, and use /mnt/  for mounted volumes in fstab08:36
oerheks!mount08:37
ubottumount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount08:37
ahcthanks, will look there. maybe I can re-locate it with Disks08:40
ahcHere, the new drive is installed as  /media/newdrive    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive09:10
ahcSo I guess I must look in fstab  to see how the existing drive is mounted,09:10
ahcYes, main drive is / and new 2nd drive there is fstab as /media/driveb09:12
ahcI just wonder what the convention is, for a 2nd drive is a desktop, maybe it is /media/2ndrive09:13

Guest5644Just so I'm clear on things, firefox and chromium are the only packages that explicitly required snapd to be installed. Nothing else?10:06
gryGuest5644: sounds like something you can check.10:07
gryGuest5644: a few years ago, that'd be via apt-rdepends package.10:07

mrcoffeeHi, I need to install libusb-1.0-13 or higher, any help appreciated.10:07
oerheksmrcoffee, why? it is not in our repos yet10:09
oerhekshttps://launchpad.net/libusb/+packages10:09
mrcoffeeI am compiling an emultaro, virtual machine based on qemu and it asks for it..10:09
oerheksthen build it yourself too?10:10
mrcoffeeMmm, ok, so I have to compile from source libusb?10:10
mrcoffeeoerheks all the packages in the link you provided are libusb < 1.0.13 , did I read right?10:11
ograGuest5644, well, there are close to 8000 packages in the snap store ... but the browsers and the software store app are the only ones that are pre-installed10:11
Guest5644That wasn't my question ogra. I was just confirming that only firefox and chromium have an explicit dependency on snapd, even if you installed the "deb" release.10:12
oerheksmrcoffee, that is how i read that too, yes10:12
ograGuest5644, well, you did not talk about debs ... yes, to make updates not break, firefox and chromium have trasitional deb packages10:13
ogra(i think lxd too, in case you use it)10:13
mrcoffeeoerheks what libusb would you go for: just 1.0.13 that is the minimum <= or the latest posible one?10:38
mrcoffeeHi there, if one dependency states <= 0.1.13 would you go for the bare minimum 0.1.13 or the latest one?10:39
oerheksi have no idea, what is this  ' emultaro' ?10:41

BluesKajHi all12:05
mncheckon focal I have a /media/user/foo that gets mounted "ro", I assume by gio or gvfs. how do you configure it to always mount "rw" ?12:07
EriC^mncheck: disks program/fstab ?12:08
EriC^what fs is it? any clues in dmesg why it's getting mounted ro?12:09
mncheckEriC^, turns out ntfsfix on the unmounted block device was sufficient to restore rw mounting.12:33
mncheckI'm curious, if I click on a device on the sidebar in Files (nautilus) and it gets mounted, how could you persistently store some mount options? say you wanted an FS with a given uuid always mount as "ro" when by default it mounts as rw? where is the configuration?12:34
oerheksput that mount in fstab ?12:34
oerheks!mount12:34
ubottumount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount12:34
mncheckoerheks, so gio expects options to be in the fstab?12:34
oerheksso it gets mounted on /mnt/ as /media/  is for manually mounted devices12:34
mncheckoerheks, there are options that depend on the username. for example in cifs, I think you cannot put the username=such-and-such option in the fstab correctly on a multiuser system12:35
oerheksyour issue was a dirty closed filesystem, that always get mounted as RO12:35
oerheksif you unmount it properly, that would not happen again12:35
ogramncheck, gio uses udisks2 to mount ... (not sure where it sets its defaults though)12:35
oerheksoh gio12:35
kubuntuhi all, I just installed on my ubuntu 22.04 a sapphire rx 5500 xt mounts the latest drivers available. I am having a problem the memory frequency is fixed at 875 mhz and even after the frequency does not change, it remains fixed12:36
mncheckoerheks, I consider my real issue to be not knowing where udisks2 gets its mount options though12:36
ogra" At start-up and when a drive is connected, udisksd(😎 will apply configuration stored in the file12:38
ogra       /etc/udisks2/IDENTIFIER.conf where IDENTIFIER is the value of the Drive:Id property for the drive.12:38

Omen124I am running live USB to access the 2nd drive (NTFS) of a computer where the other OS drive (windows) crapped out and I want to back up the data from the other drive. I have attached a portable SSD to copy data across but neither the portable SSD (NTFS) or the internal 2nd drive is allowing me to modify/paste files, I can copy files and read them13:41
Omen124fine but cant write to either drive. Did I miss an option to enable this with the Live USB?13:41
oerheksNTFS should be accessable, unless your portable ssd is RO13:45
leftyfboerheks: you might have to chkdsk each of them twice to clear the "dirty" bit. You need to do this in Windows, twice13:46
Omen124oerheks: what both drives seem to not be allowing me to move files to either of them.13:48
leftyfbOmen124: you might have to chkdsk each of them twice to clear the "dirty" bit. You need to do this in Windows, twice13:49
=== atol71 is now known as atol
Omen124leftyfb; not sure if you meant to respond to me to nor and sent it to oerheks, I did a chkdsk in windows for the build in HDD and it was fine, yet it cant receive files.13:50
lotuspsychjeOmen124: did you try nautilus in admin:/// mode too?13:51
Omen124lotuspsychje; im fairly new to ubuntu (using it as a backup to access stuff). What is nautilus? What system is it on?13:52
lotuspsychjeOmen124: nautilus is the filemanager on ubuntu desktop, i see you're on a liveusb, that might not work13:54
Omen124I have checked the permissions of both of the drives and they have the ability to create and read enabled, so they aren't strictly in read mode.13:57
Omen124*create and delete13:58
leftyfbOmen124: what error are you getting when you try to create a directory on one of the drives?13:58
mncheckogra, thank you13:58
Omen124leftyfb: when right-clicking to create a new folder or paste, the options are greyed out13:59
Omen124I can definitely create and delete files on the live USB drive but it doesn't seem I can on the other drives13:59
mncheckOmen124, in my case I had to check if the "ro" or "rw" (for read-write) mount option was used, I used the command "findmnt -J" from the terminal application to check that14:01
transhumanisthi! from what i understand now ( and know of multi-user vs single user mode, I suppose and also what I read..) User-Mode-Linux is now in the kernel. How do I run it in Ubuntu? Anyone know, as I understand it, it is no longer a separate linux project14:03
oerheksduring install, you are in single-user-mode, when you boot the install, you are in multi-user-mode14:04
oerheksso no need to activate anything14:04
transhumanistso there is no way to build User Mode Guests anymore?14:04
leftyfbtranshumanist: that has nothing to do with single user mode14:04
transhumanistoh14:05
leftyfbtranshumanist: that is a feature of the gnome desktop14:05
transhumanistwell, I know its now part of the kernel, but damned if I can find anything current about it14:05
leftyfbit's not14:06
leftyfbguest mode != single user mode14:06
oerheks' build User Mode Guests'  is confusing, if you want a guest mode, logout and login as guest?14:06
transhumanistok good enough14:06
transhumanistI will try and find a UML channel and ask14:07
leftyfbtranshumanist: what is UML?14:07
Omen124mncheck: from what I can see, anything related to an NTFS drive is rw, but I may be mistaken. If you want to look, since I'm not 100% sure of what I'm looking at (https://pastebin.com/WJdmqzBZ)14:07
transhumanistUser Mode Linux14:08
transhumanistruns linux as a process14:08
transhumanistgod for single core applications , every device is emulated14:09
transhumanistbut its much faster than full emulation14:09

transhumanistseems its dead though14:09
transhumanistbut its in the kernel tree from what I read14:09
transhumanisthttps://www.landley.net/code/UML.html14:10
leftyfbtranshumanist: not sure what you're trying to use UML for, but maybe look into docker?14:10
transhumanistyeah ,been there already, but this did seem promising, some how it got absorbed into the kernel and disappeared14:11
mncheckOmen124, /media/ubuntu/08361DD8361DC818 (sda1) /media/ubuntu/44A8329FA8328F82 (sdc2) are both "ro", meaning "read-only". I am guessing they are the ntfs drives. you could see if they are ntfs with the command "lsblk -f" I think14:11
mihaiadriansince 30th may, google stopped allowing users to send or recieve mail via some third party programs14:12

mihaiadrianwhen i try to send mail, i get sendmail: 501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax14:12
mihaiadriananyone know what that might be?14:13
mncheckOmen124, in my case I fixed a similar problem with unmounting the drives and running "ntfsfix /dev/sdc2" and "ntfsfix /dev/sda1" (then mounting again). but what leftyfb said, to check each drive twice in windows with chkdsk , I guess is the correct way to fix it. From what you've said I read you did chkdsk only once on each drive?14:13
transhumanistmihaiadrian:  I think thats my fault , I found a bug in application authentication with 2FA14:13
transhumanistso they shut it off14:13
mihaiadrianlwl xd14:14
oerheksmihaiadrian, contact google/gmail .. as your laptop with antix/debian does the same?14:14
mihaiadrianwell, google no longer allows it14:14
mihaiadrianhttps://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en14:14
oerheksyes, but you found out is is not an OS problem, bu your mail client14:14
transhumanist I dont really know what they expect people to do with out it, if its the same issue14:14
Omen124mncheck: I did chkdsk a couple of times on one of them (the internal drive I'm trying to backup) but the external one I haven't done it on. Either way, I should at least be able to paste/make a new folder in the internal drive14:15
transhumanistthey never paid me the bounty, that's all I know14:15
oerheksor Omen124 does it work when you use sudo?14:15
leftyfbmihaiadrian: ssmtp probably isn't going to work with google anymore. Contact google for support14:15
oerhekssudo touch <filename>14:15
mncheckOmen124, I guess so... you might try ntfsfix as I said earlier if you haven't tried already14:15
mihaiadrianleftyfb: i dont want to contact google, i want to setup cock.li, but idk why it doesnt work14:16
leftyfbmihaiadrian: contact cock.li for support14:16
mncheckOmen124, also I faintly remember hybernating a windows >= 8 or something can put the ntfs into some windows-internal state I think...14:16
Omen124oerheks: touch: cannot touch 'videos': Read-only file system14:16
mncheckOmen124, until the mount option is "ro" for your drive it is futile to "touch" or "mkdir" etc.14:17
leftyfb"rw"14:17
oerheksand did you touch your live usb, or the external ssd?14:18
mncheckOmen124, let me know if you gave "ntfsfix /dev/sda1" etc. a try14:18
leftyfbdo not do that14:18
mncheckleftyfb, why is that?14:18
leftyfbOmen124: you need to unmount the drive(s) first14:18
mncheckleftyfb, I think ntfsfix will refuse to work on mounted drives14:19
leftyfblets not take the chance of making things worse14:19
mncheckmight mistake it with fsck though...14:19
mncheckleftyfb, so "umount /dev/sda1 && ntfsfix /dev/sda1" would be your command?14:20
Omen124oerheks: I can touch the default folders of this live USB ubuntu setup, seems fine there.14:20
leftyfbmncheck: sudo umount /media/ubuntu/08361DD8361DC81814:20
leftyfbfor sda114:20
leftyfbOmen124: that has nothing to do with your ntfs drives14:21
Omen124can i unmount it via GParted to make sure I an unmounting the right drive?14:21
mncheckOmen124, I'm pretty sure too that until you get that "ro" into becoming "rw" for the /media/ubuntu/ drives, anything else is not really relevant14:21
mncheckOmen124, gparted sounds good to me14:22
leftyfbOmen124: I HIGHLY recommend booting into a Windows installer usb and running chkdsk on both those drives, twice.14:22
Omen124I will try but I am likely to get a BSOD within 30 sec of hitting the desktop14:23
leftyfbOmen124: windows installer usb14:23
Omen124alright, gonna make this USB before unmounting14:24
leftyfbOmen124: also, if you had "fast boot" enabled on 1 or both of those drives, that could be preventing them from being mounted rw or even running checks on them. You'll have to seek support from Microsoft or #windows to determine that14:24
mncheckleftyfb, just tested ntfsfix with v2017.3.23AR.3, "mount /dev/foo5 /mnt && ntfsfix /dev/foo5" says "Refusing to operate on read-write mounted device /dev/foo5." on focal14:26
oerhekswith fast boot enabled he could not boot the live iso, i guess14:26
leftyfbI'm pretty sure fast boot only affects the Windows OS14:26
leftyfbbut I could be wron14:27
leftyfbwrong*14:27
mncheckOmen124, I guess that thing I babbled about hibernate was actually fast boot probably14:28
transhumanistyeah oerheks that could be because you have to start the windows machine and shut it down properly holding the shift key on shutdown14:28
transhumanistthere is a way, i forget though how to get linux to fix it, but it can cause loss14:29

RaimondRajthanks for ur guideline leftyfb14:45

leftyfbSleepyMario: I already gave him a tutorial on how to delete files in linux, happened to be the 2nd result on google14:46
SleepyMarioleftyfb: oh well14:47
ograleftyfb, bah.... sounds like a google fail then that yuo had to pick the *second* !14:49
leftyfbogra: yeah, I was too broad with "ubuntu how to delete files"   the first one was only GUI :)14:50
ograheh14:50
SleepyMarioah yeah, there's of course also the 'easy' way14:51
SleepyMariowhich would work fine no?14:52
leftyfbSleepyMario: it's a VPS for running an eggdrop, I really hope they aren't running a DE on it14:53
ELFrederichHi, is there a simple SMTP server to run on Ubuntu?  This is in a lab environment not connected to the internet, just need something to accept the emails, don't care if it all goes to /dev/null14:55
leftyfbELFrederich: if you're just sending it to /dev/null, why do you need to "accept" emails?14:56
ELFrederichleftyfb, because some application doesn't work if it doesn't think it's sending e-mails.14:56
leftyfbELFrederich: maybe ssmtp14:57
ELFrederichOkay... Thanks, I'll look at that one.14:57
mncheckOmen124, I guess these steps should work with your windows iso: https://askubuntu.com/questions/59551/how-to-burn-a-windows-iso-to-a-usb-device/609503#609503 I'm guessing you have UEFI. I know UEFI to simply find things to boot by partitions and file names, the details can be found in the linked guide15:02
Omen124mncheck: how do i check if I have UEFI, the system was fought originally in 201915:06
ograELFrederich, you could try nullmailer with this hack: https://github.com/bruceg/nullmailer/issues/6415:07

tomreynOmen124: echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS15:34
Omen124Cool that worked15:35
tomreynOmen124: regarding creating a bootable windows iso on ubuntu: apparently you can't just use dd or cp, also woeusb is now a dead project, with two replacements, woeusb-ng and woeusb2, i think. and i'm not aware of any official instructions by microsoft to create a bootable installer medium on other operating systems than their own.15:43
EriC^Omen124: if you're booting it in uefi mode you can create it yourself using a fat32 partition and copying over the iso contents to it15:44
SleepyMarioi have spun up windows vms in the past15:44
SleepyMarioonly for the purpose of creating a bootable USB. it works fine, but obviously is a bit convoluted15:45
Omen124EriC^: Currently copying files across but after checking the transfer the file sizes are different after15:47
EriC^might be due actual space vs apparent space Omen12415:48
EriC^try an md5 check on a few to see if they're the same15:48
Omen124Not sure how to me5 check the drive vs the iso contents as a whole15:50

ubottuUbuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) was the 30th release of Ubuntu, support ended January 23rd, 2020. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-January/005263.html17:17
miner123456oh gosh, its eol17:17
oerheksyou knew that, as it shows while you update..17:18
miner123456ok, maybe being 19.04 explains why I have error installing the nic driver then17:18
miner123456Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore.17:19

miner123456anyway, thanks for the help. will upgrade the version.17:20
Furna_Hello I have an Ubuntu Server 22.04 (Rasperry PI) ... I am trying to configure it to use specific DNS servers and *ignore* the one that the IPv6 router is announcing through IPv6 ra.17:41
Furna_I *must* anyway have systemd-networld listen to IPv6 ra since I must have an IPv6 assigned17:42
matsamanFurna_: maybe this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1406827/how-to-set-dns-on-ubuntu-22-04-when-you-have-no-netplan-config17:43
Furna_Is there a way to do that in netplan? I know ra can be ignored all-togheter ... anyway as I wrote I cannoyt afford to completely ignore ra17:43
matsamanmmm17:43
oerheksyes, you can force ipv6, see the examples17:44
oerhekshttps://netplan.io/examples/17:44
oerheksand force ipv417:44
oerheksdhcp4: true17:45
Furna_matsaman I am aware of snipsets in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ ... already tried and no matter what as soon as there is an IPv6 ra from the router resolved honours it an start using the DNS avertised by the ra17:46
Furna_oerheks I am not using DHCP ... the goal is to ignore DNS server announced in IPv6 ra17:49
Furna_i.e. NetworkManager has "ignore-auto-dns" ... with that I have IPv6 address(es) from router advertisement but DNS is ignored17:53
leftyfbFurna_: why are you using NetworkManager on Ubuntu server?18:06
Furna_leftyfb I am not using it on Ubuntu Server .. I am using it on my Desktop ...18:07
Furna_oerheks: just tried "dhcp6-overrides: use dns: false" ... as expected it is not working ... that DNS arrives via router advertisment not via DHCP18:08
Furna_leftyfb: anywai I am start thinking to use it to achieve my goal ;-) I would really avoid it if possible18:09
Furna_Seems I am not the only one with this issue ... https://serverfault.com/questions/1050807/dont-accept-rdnss-from-router-announcements-in-linux ... interesting the comment in the answer18:55
Furna_In Ubuntu's case, it's managed with netplan. When testing it, I was unable to use SLAAC without RDNSS.18:55

triboreHi!19:08
muffinMy Intel Wireless AC 9560 is not working. I am new to Linux and I do not know exactly how to identify the exact problem.19:10
muffinBut when I execute "sudo modprobe iwlwifi" I do not get any response19:10
muffinDo you know how I can identify the problem further?19:11
sarnoldmuffin: unix programs generally say nothing when they succeed19:12
sarnoldmuffin: but in the case of modprobe, that just means the module loaded, not anything about what the module *does*19:12
sarnoldmuffin: those messages, if any, are printed to the kernel message buffer -- view it with dmesg or systemctl -e19:12
sarnoldsigh not systemctl -e19:12
sarnoldjournalctl -e19:13
sarnoldthe -e just limits it to the last thousand messages or something, and it's the entire journal, not just the kernel message buffer19:13
sarnoldbut -e is fast :)19:13
muffinOh, I see, so the problem is not, that the module is not loaded19:14
sarnoldyeah; check with lsmod | grep iwlwifi19:14
sarnoldhopefully there'll be something in the logs that says what's up, but it's hard to say what exactly to look for19:14
muffinI booted from the ubuntu 22.04 live usb but that also said "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found"19:18
=== rcastillo_ is now known as rcastillo
muffinDo you know how I can rule out a hardware problem?19:19
sarnoldmuffin: hrm :( I have very limited experience with wifi troubleshooting; the thing that cost me the most time in the past was one of the killswitches on the hardware..19:22
sarnoldmuffin: look around the keyboard for an icon that suggests turning wifi on and off, or the radios.. or an airplane mode..19:23
sarnoldmuffin: running 'rfkill' will print out a bit of informatoin on the kill switch states, both hardware and software19:23
muffinrfkill does not output anything19:25
sarnoldthat's not promising :(19:26
muffinI will try to learn as much as I can about how ubuntu does networking and identify where exactly the problem is.19:28
sarnoldmuffin: it'd be worth getting to know the arch wiki, those guys have the best docs on nearly everything19:29
sarnoldmuffin: looking for your wireless card on their wiki is probably a pretty good starting point19:29
tomreynmuffin: "lsusb" and "lspci -knn" outputs may help diagnose this further.19:33
tomreynthis should also tell you more about the very wireless chipset you have19:34
muffinhmm.. I don't see anything wireless on lspci~ that probably means it is a hardware problem?19:36
tomreynmuffin: do you see anything that says intel and network, though?19:37
muffinno network, only ethernet19:38
sarnoldmaybe it's hooked up over usb internally, check also lsusb or maybe lshw19:38
tomreynmuffin: and oyou're running 22.04 on the live image now?19:39
muffinI am running a 22.04 install now19:39
muffinthe card is a M.2 card I inserted myself19:40
sarnoldokay that's an interesting twist19:40
sarnoldcheck the bios setup, maybe you have to do something to enable the slot19:40
sarnoldand google around a bit, maybe the vendor has hardware locked it to only accept their specific devices19:41
muffinyeah, I am going to look around in my bios a bit more and maybe plug and unplug the card once more. Thank you for your help!19:42
tacomasterI am not sure what I am doing wrong. I formatted my 6TB hard drive on my ubuntu desktop machine as 22.04 and I was able to mount the drive and put the data on it that I wanted. I moved it to my server adding it to the fstab as ext4 but I keep getting "mount: /mnt/Storage: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error." When I run "sudo lsblk --fs" it does show as ext4 on the ub22:07
tacomasteruntu server os. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?22:07
mybalzitchwhat does your fstab entry look like22:10
arraybolt3[m]tacomaster: What exactly did you put in your fstab? Ideally, upload it to a pastebin and then paste the link here.22:10
tacomasterHa I am an idiot. I put default instead of defaults in the fstab entry . Sorry to bug you guys22:11
arraybolt3[m]tacomaster: No problem, glad you got it sorted out!22:11
