[01:13] <blahboybaz> Dumb 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 similar
[01:15] <sarnold> not that I know of
[01:19] <bahamat> blahboybaz: It's kind of cheating, but I do this: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -u
[01:19] <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.
[01:20] <arraybolt3[m]> blahboybaz: (I do "apt full-upgrade" a lot of times, since that does a more thorough upgrade job.)
[01:20] <sarnold> maybe this is why I've heard people say arch's "pacman -Syu" is the easiest and most convenient thing ever
[01:21] <sonicwind> another option... use the alias command to type one and get both?
[01:22] <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] <sarnold> sonicwind: hah it sounds a bit obvious once you say it
[01:22] <sonicwind> was my first thought sarnold
[01:23] <sarnold> it's funny, I've got acsh and acs for apt-cache show and apt-cache search; I use them a thousand times a day
[01:23] <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.)
[01:30] <blahboybaz> bahamat: 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] <blahboybaz> I suppose I could make an alias
[01:31] <ravage> my alias is "up". it executed a shell script with sudo. and that command is in sudoers without password
[01:31] <blahboybaz> sonicwind: Just saw your comment - yep
[01:31] <ravage> script executes: apt update && apt -y full-upgrade && apt -y autoremove && needrestart -rl
[02:08] <jhutchins> BlackDex: apt update && apt full-upgrade
[02:08] <jhutchins> blahboybaz:^
[02:09] <jhutchins> blahboybaz: I have aliases on all my machines for that.
[02:09] <jhutchins> blahboybaz: You can add a -y to the upgrade, but I prefer to check what's happening before I say "go".
[02:10] <jhutchins> bahamat: I see you beat me to that.
[02:11] <bahamat> You gotta be quick on the draw.
[02:16] <jhutchins> RedHat checks the age of it's indexes and updates them if they're older than a preset.  Gentoo checks a list of mirrors to see who's fastest.
[04:14] <acegallagher> heyyyy. 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/tmpfs
[04:15] <acegallagher> i'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"
[04:16] <acegallagher> ... where is the "index dir" to delete so it will rebuild that?
[04:42] <jaafar> Hey experts, how do I update to 22.04 via cli? do-release-upgrade says I have to change my upgrader to "normal" from lts
[04:42] <jaafar> but both 20.04 (my current release) and 22.04 are LTS so it should work fine
[04:43] <enigma9o7[m]> ya you're early but you can force it now if you want to live on the edge
[04:43] <Bashing-om> !upgrade
[04:45] <jaafar> enigma9o7[m]: thanks! Looks like the issue is I can't upgrade until the first "point release" is available.
[04:45] <jaafar> which is a bit confusing
[04:46] <jaafar> 22.04 is "released" but you can't upgrade to it normally until there is a 22.04.1
[04:46] <enigma9o7[m]> Hmmmm sorry for the confusion.
[04:46] <enigma9o7[m]> Correct.  It's released for clean installs.
[04:46] <Bashing-om> jaafar: 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.
[04:47] <jaafar> gotcha 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 ;)
[04:48] <jaafar> apparently I just need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[04:48] <jaafar> and say I am no longer on the lts bus
[04:51] <Bashing-om> jaafar: 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] <Bashing-om> *do-release-upgrade -d
[06:19] <torniq> i've got a ubuntu user, that is allowed to connect with ssh.  I need to rsync my files, but not chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu..  how can I get this to run as root without connecting as root via the ubuntu@... user?
[06:24] <oerheks> use the --fake-super rsync option. <><> or add the following to your /etc/sudoers file: rsyncuser ALL= NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/rsync
[06:26] <Kharec> o/
[07:20] <cousin_luigi> Greetings.
[07:20] <cousin_luigi> I installed ubuntu 20.04 in a vm but even after installing the relevant virtualbox dkms package the screen is not resizing
[07:21] <alkisg> Did you install the virtualbox guest extensions inside the VM? And which graphics driver do you have in the VM settings?
[07:25] <cousin_luigi> alkisg: Oh, I was missing the virtualbox-guest-x11 package
[07:26] <alkisg> 👍️
[07:26] <cousin_luigi> Thanks.
[07:26] <alkisg> Note that even without it, the guest properly fits the window on boot if you  select vboxsvga
[07:26] <alkisg> It won't automatically resize later on, but it can be resized with an xrandr command however you position the window
[07:28] <cousin_luigi> I just logged out and back in.
[07:29] <cousin_luigi> well, bbl!
[08:03] <ztane> upgraded to 22.04 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T480... I've set cpu frequency scaling in menu to "performance"
[08:04] <ztane> however while in teleconferencing with firefox + webrtc, the cpu frequency drops something as low as *200Mhz* :D
[08:05] <ztane> I'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 :(
[08:06] <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...
[08:31] <ahc> So, I have a 2nd hdd. Presently its mounted as /media/driveb   Should I mount it or alias it off the root directly   /driveb ?
[08:36] <oerheks> no, /media for manually mounted/inserted media, and use /mnt/  for mounted volumes in fstab
[08:37] <oerheks> !mount
[08:40] <ahc> thanks, will look there. maybe I can re-locate it with Disks
[09:10] <ahc> Here, the new drive is installed as  /media/newdrive    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive
[09:10] <ahc> So I guess I must look in fstab  to see how the existing drive is mounted,
[09:12] <ahc> Yes, main drive is / and new 2nd drive there is fstab as /media/driveb
[09:13] <ahc> I just wonder what the convention is, for a 2nd drive is a desktop, maybe it is /media/2ndrive
[09:15] <ahc> 2nd drive in a desktop ..
[10:06] <Guest5644> Just so I'm clear on things, firefox and chromium are the only packages that explicitly required snapd to be installed. Nothing else?
[10:07] <gry> Guest5644: sounds like something you can check.
[10:07] <gry> Guest5644: a few years ago, that'd be via apt-rdepends package.
[10:07] <Guest5644> I'm away from my linux machine right now sadly.
[10:07] <mrcoffee> Hi, I need to install libusb-1.0-13 or higher, any help appreciated.
[10:09] <oerheks> mrcoffee, why? it is not in our repos yet
[10:09] <oerheks> https://launchpad.net/libusb/+packages
[10:09] <mrcoffee> I am compiling an emultaro, virtual machine based on qemu and it asks for it..
[10:10] <oerheks> then build it yourself too?
[10:10] <mrcoffee> Mmm, ok, so I have to compile from source libusb?
[10:11] <mrcoffee> oerheks all the packages in the link you provided are libusb < 1.0.13 , did I read right?
[10:11] <ogra> Guest5644, 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-installed
[10:12] <Guest5644> That 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] <oerheks> mrcoffee, that is how i read that too, yes
[10:13] <ogra> Guest5644, well, you did not talk about debs ... yes, to make updates not break, firefox and chromium have trasitional deb packages
[10:13] <ogra> (i think lxd too, in case you use it)
[10:38] <mrcoffee> oerheks what libusb would you go for: just 1.0.13 that is the minimum <= or the latest posible one?
[10:39] <mrcoffee> Hi there, if one dependency states <= 0.1.13 would you go for the bare minimum 0.1.13 or the latest one?
[10:41] <oerheks> i have no idea, what is this  ' emultaro' ?
[10:41] <mrcoffee> Emulator..
[10:41] <mrcoffee> Sorry I meant >= 1.0.13
[11:26] <littlepap> emultaro
[12:05] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:07] <mncheck> on 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" ?
[12:08] <EriC^> mncheck: disks program/fstab ?
[12:09] <EriC^> what fs is it? any clues in dmesg why it's getting mounted ro?
[12:33] <mncheck> EriC^, turns out ntfsfix on the unmounted block device was sufficient to restore rw mounting.
[12:34] <mncheck> I'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] <oerheks> put that mount in fstab ?
[12:34] <oerheks> !mount
[12:34] <mncheck> oerheks, so gio expects options to be in the fstab?
[12:34] <oerheks> so it gets mounted on /mnt/ as /media/  is for manually mounted devices
[12:35] <mncheck> oerheks, 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 system
[12:35] <oerheks> your issue was a dirty closed filesystem, that always get mounted as RO
[12:35] <oerheks> if you unmount it properly, that would not happen again
[12:35] <ogra> mncheck, gio uses udisks2 to mount ... (not sure where it sets its defaults though)
[12:35] <oerheks> oh gio
[12:36] <kubuntu> hi 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 fixed
[12:36] <mncheck> oerheks, I consider my real issue to be not knowing where udisks2 gets its mount options though
[12:38] <ogra> " At start-up and when a drive is connected, udisksd(😎 will apply configuration stored in the file
[12:38] <ogra>        /etc/udisks2/IDENTIFIER.conf where IDENTIFIER is the value of the Drive:Id property for the drive.
[12:38] <ogra> "
[12:38] <ogra> from "man udisks"
[13:03] <yates> using Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
[13:03] <yates> i am having an issue with my headset microphone (in msteams)
[13:04] <yates> it is as if the volume is turned up to 1000, i.e., way way overdriven
[13:04] <yates> it works at home, but not on this (my work) computer
[13:04] <yates> both run 18.04.6
[13:05] <yates> i've poked around with it using pulse audio volume control to no avail
[13:05] <yates> everythign seems set correctly
[13:06] <oerheks> yates,  lower down the output of the application, sometimes helps
[13:06] <summonner> isn't xxx4.6 dev?
[13:07] <yates> oerheks: thanks - tried that - doesn't help
[13:07] <summonner> nope, disregard
[13:34] <mmj> hi can i make qt6 app in ubuntu 16.03.3
[13:38] <leftyfb> mmj: Ubuntu 16.04 is EOL. (there is no such thing as 16.03)
[13:41] <Omen124> I 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 them
[13:41] <Omen124> fine but cant write to either drive. Did I miss an option to enable this with the Live USB?
[13:45] <oerheks> NTFS should be accessable, unless your portable ssd is RO
[13:46] <leftyfb> oerheks: you might have to chkdsk each of them twice to clear the "dirty" bit. You need to do this in Windows, twice
[13:48] <Omen124> oerheks: what both drives seem to not be allowing me to move files to either of them.
[13:49] <leftyfb> Omen124: you might have to chkdsk each of them twice to clear the "dirty" bit. You need to do this in Windows, twice
[13:50] <Omen124> leftyfb; 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.
[13:51] <lotuspsychje> Omen124: did you try nautilus in admin:/// mode too?
[13:52] <Omen124> lotuspsychje; im fairly new to ubuntu (using it as a backup to access stuff). What is nautilus? What system is it on?
[13:54] <lotuspsychje> Omen124: nautilus is the filemanager on ubuntu desktop, i see you're on a liveusb, that might not work
[13:57] <Omen124> I 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.
[13:58] <Omen124> *create and delete
[13:58] <leftyfb> Omen124: what error are you getting when you try to create a directory on one of the drives?
[13:58] <mncheck> ogra, thank you
[13:59] <Omen124> leftyfb: when right-clicking to create a new folder or paste, the options are greyed out
[13:59] <Omen124> I can definitely create and delete files on the live USB drive but it doesn't seem I can on the other drives
[14:01] <mncheck> Omen124, 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 that
[14:03] <transhumanist> hi! 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 project
[14:04] <oerheks> during install, you are in single-user-mode, when you boot the install, you are in multi-user-mode
[14:04] <oerheks> so no need to activate anything
[14:04] <transhumanist> so there is no way to build User Mode Guests anymore?
[14:04] <leftyfb> transhumanist: that has nothing to do with single user mode
[14:05] <transhumanist> oh
[14:05] <leftyfb> transhumanist: that is a feature of the gnome desktop
[14:05] <transhumanist> well, I know its now part of the kernel, but damned if I can find anything current about it
[14:06] <leftyfb> it's not
[14:06] <leftyfb> guest mode != single user mode
[14:06] <oerheks> ' build User Mode Guests'  is confusing, if you want a guest mode, logout and login as guest?
[14:06] <transhumanist> ok good enough
[14:07] <transhumanist> I will try and find a UML channel and ask
[14:07] <leftyfb> transhumanist: what is UML?
[14:07] <Omen124> mncheck: 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)
[14:08] <transhumanist> User Mode Linux
[14:08] <transhumanist> runs linux as a process
[14:09] <transhumanist> god for single core applications , every device is emulated
[14:09] <transhumanist> but its much faster than full emulation
[14:09] <transhumanist> good*
[14:09] <transhumanist> seems its dead though
[14:09] <transhumanist> but its in the kernel tree from what I read
[14:10] <transhumanist> https://www.landley.net/code/UML.html
[14:10] <leftyfb> transhumanist: not sure what you're trying to use UML for, but maybe look into docker?
[14:11] <transhumanist> yeah ,been there already, but this did seem promising, some how it got absorbed into the kernel and disappeared
[14:11] <mncheck> Omen124, /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 think
[14:12] <mihaiadrian> since 30th may, google stopped allowing users to send or recieve mail via some third party programs
[14:12] <mihaiadrian> and i try to send mail with ssmtp with cock.li mail provider
[14:12] <mihaiadrian> https://pastebin.com/raw/0UDV3ivu this is my ssmtp.conf
[14:12] <mihaiadrian> when i try to send mail, i get sendmail: 501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax
[14:13] <mihaiadrian> anyone know what that might be?
[14:13] <mncheck> Omen124, 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] <transhumanist> mihaiadrian:  I think thats my fault , I found a bug in application authentication with 2FA
[14:13] <transhumanist> so they shut it off
[14:14] <mihaiadrian> lwl xd
[14:14] <oerheks> mihaiadrian, contact google/gmail .. as your laptop with antix/debian does the same?
[14:14] <mihaiadrian> well, google no longer allows it
[14:14] <mihaiadrian> https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
[14:14] <oerheks> yes, but you found out is is not an OS problem, bu your mail client
[14:14] <transhumanist>  I dont really know what they expect people to do with out it, if its the same issue
[14:15] <Omen124> mncheck: 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 drive
[14:15] <transhumanist> they never paid me the bounty, that's all I know
[14:15] <oerheks> or Omen124 does it work when you use sudo?
[14:15] <leftyfb> mihaiadrian: ssmtp probably isn't going to work with google anymore. Contact google for support
[14:15] <oerheks> sudo touch <filename>
[14:15] <mncheck> Omen124, I guess so... you might try ntfsfix as I said earlier if you haven't tried already
[14:16] <mihaiadrian> leftyfb: i dont want to contact google, i want to setup cock.li, but idk why it doesnt work
[14:16] <leftyfb> mihaiadrian: contact cock.li for support
[14:16] <mncheck> Omen124, also I faintly remember hybernating a windows >= 8 or something can put the ntfs into some windows-internal state I think...
[14:16] <Omen124> oerheks: touch: cannot touch 'videos': Read-only file system
[14:17] <mncheck> Omen124, until the mount option is "ro" for your drive it is futile to "touch" or "mkdir" etc.
[14:17] <leftyfb> "rw"
[14:18] <oerheks> and did you touch your live usb, or the external ssd?
[14:18] <mncheck> Omen124, let me know if you gave "ntfsfix /dev/sda1" etc. a try
[14:18] <leftyfb> do not do that
[14:18] <mncheck> leftyfb, why is that?
[14:18] <leftyfb> Omen124: you need to unmount the drive(s) first
[14:19] <mncheck> leftyfb, I think ntfsfix will refuse to work on mounted drives
[14:19] <leftyfb> lets not take the chance of making things worse
[14:19] <mncheck> might mistake it with fsck though...
[14:20] <mncheck> leftyfb, so "umount /dev/sda1 && ntfsfix /dev/sda1" would be your command?
[14:20] <Omen124> oerheks: I can touch the default folders of this live USB ubuntu setup, seems fine there.
[14:20] <leftyfb> mncheck: sudo umount /media/ubuntu/08361DD8361DC818
[14:20] <leftyfb> for sda1
[14:21] <leftyfb> Omen124: that has nothing to do with your ntfs drives
[14:21] <Omen124> can i unmount it via GParted to make sure I an unmounting the right drive?
[14:21] <mncheck> Omen124, I'm pretty sure too that until you get that "ro" into becoming "rw" for the /media/ubuntu/ drives, anything else is not really relevant
[14:22] <mncheck> Omen124, gparted sounds good to me
[14:22] <leftyfb> Omen124: I HIGHLY recommend booting into a Windows installer usb and running chkdsk on both those drives, twice.
[14:23] <Omen124> I will try but I am likely to get a BSOD within 30 sec of hitting the desktop
[14:23] <leftyfb> Omen124: windows installer usb
[14:24] <Omen124> alright, gonna make this USB before unmounting
[14:24] <leftyfb> Omen124: 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 that
[14:26] <mncheck> leftyfb, 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 focal
[14:26] <oerheks> with fast boot enabled he could not boot the live iso, i guess
[14:26] <leftyfb> I'm pretty sure fast boot only affects the Windows OS
[14:27] <leftyfb> but I could be wron
[14:27] <leftyfb> wrong*
[14:28] <mncheck> Omen124, I guess that thing I babbled about hibernate was actually fast boot probably
[14:28] <transhumanist> yeah oerheks that could be because you have to start the windows machine and shut it down properly holding the shift key on shutdown
[14:29] <transhumanist> there is a way, i forget though how to get linux to fix it, but it can cause loss
[14:31] <Omen124> currently downloading a windows 11 iso to be able to make a live windows USB, not sure how I am going to do this via ubuntu, any recommendations?
[14:32] <transhumanist> how to make a windows bootable disk? message me I dont think they want it discussed in the linux channel
[14:32] <oerheks> https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/use-linux-dd-command-to-write-windows-10-iso-to/affcecf6-6d02-4c57-876b-a1261d9329ac
[14:32] <oerheks> lolz
[14:32] <oerheks> with dd
[14:33] <oerheks> really, take some time to search for such answer
[14:33] <transhumanist> oerheks: I dont think that actually works oerheks due to windows mangling of the disks
[14:33] <oerheks> don't think.

[14:35] <leftyfb> RaimondRaj: sudo apt install eggdrop
[14:36] <leftyfb> RaimondRaj: or recompile from source
[14:36] <RaimondRaj> have to install back the eggdrop
[14:36] <leftyfb> yes
[14:36] <leftyfb> it's compiled against a library that is outdated
[14:38] <RaimondRaj> how to delet all the file/ user in unbuntu
[14:38] <RaimondRaj> to make it clear back
[14:38] <oerheks> yes, impish was the last version https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish-updates/libssl1.1
[14:38] <oerheks> yammy; https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy/openssl
[14:39] <oerheks> https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy/eggdrop
[14:42] <RaimondRaj> can anyone help me
[14:42] <RaimondRaj> how to delet all the file/ user in unbuntu
[14:43] <SleepyMario> RaimondRaj: what do you exactly want to delete?
[14:43] <RaimondRaj> if i compile the eggdrop from 1st
[14:43] <RaimondRaj> they must be lost some file
[14:43] <RaimondRaj> if wanna make it new
[14:43] <RaimondRaj> im confues
[14:43] <leftyfb> RaimondRaj: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-delete-and-remove-files-on-ubuntu-linux/
[14:44] <leftyfb> RaimondRaj: you should probably be learning more of the linux basics before running a public server running an IRC bot
[14:44] <RaimondRaj> leftyfb : i have
[14:44] <leftyfb> false
[14:45] <RaimondRaj> sudden after update its happen
[14:45] <RaimondRaj> u dont asume that please
[14:45] <RaimondRaj> i dont know - i will as
[14:45] <RaimondRaj> maybe its a reconfirm on it
[14:45] <RaimondRaj> dont asume that i dont know anything
[14:45] <RaimondRaj> thanks for ur guideline leftyfb
[14:45] <SleepyMario> RaimondRaj: the 'rm' command is your friend
[14:45] <SleepyMario> unless you misuse it
[14:46] <SleepyMario> then it will evolve into a terrible force of power
[14:46] <SleepyMario> a bit like the master ring
[14:46] <leftyfb> SleepyMario: I already gave him a tutorial on how to delete files in linux, happened to be the 2nd result on google
[14:47] <SleepyMario> leftyfb: oh well
[14:49] <ogra> leftyfb, bah.... sounds like a google fail then that yuo had to pick the *second* !
[14:50] <leftyfb> ogra: yeah, I was too broad with "ubuntu how to delete files"   the first one was only GUI :)
[14:50] <ogra> heh
[14:51] <SleepyMario> ah yeah, there's of course also the 'easy' way
[14:52] <SleepyMario> which would work fine no?
[14:53] <leftyfb> SleepyMario: it's a VPS for running an eggdrop, I really hope they aren't running a DE on it
[14:55] <ELFrederich> Hi, 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/null
[14:56] <leftyfb> ELFrederich: if you're just sending it to /dev/null, why do you need to "accept" emails?
[14:56] <ELFrederich> leftyfb, because some application doesn't work if it doesn't think it's sending e-mails.
[14:57] <leftyfb> ELFrederich: maybe ssmtp
[14:57] <ELFrederich> Okay... Thanks, I'll look at that one.
[15:02] <mncheck> Omen124, 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 guide
[15:06] <Omen124> mncheck: how do i check if I have UEFI, the system was fought originally in 2019
[15:07] <ogra> ELFrederich, you could try nullmailer with this hack: https://github.com/bruceg/nullmailer/issues/64
[15:08] <ELFrederich> ogra, thanks, I'll look at that one too
[15:16] <shaner> Launchpad 2FA reset. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[15:16] <ogra> shaner, /join #launchpad
[15:16] <shaner> thanks ogra
[15:34] <tomreyn> Omen124: echo -n 'This system booted via: '; [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
[15:35] <Omen124> Cool that worked
[15:43] <tomreyn> Omen124: 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.
[15:44] <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 it
[15:44] <SleepyMario> i have spun up windows vms in the past
[15:45] <SleepyMario> only for the purpose of creating a bootable USB. it works fine, but obviously is a bit convoluted
[15:47] <Omen124> EriC^: Currently copying files across but after checking the transfer the file sizes are different after
[15:48] <EriC^> might be due actual space vs apparent space Omen124
[15:48] <EriC^> try an md5 check on a few to see if they're the same
[15:50] <Omen124> Not sure how to me5 check the drive vs the iso contents as a whole
[15:50] <Omen124> md5
[15:52] <wez> Omen124: md5, you mean sha256 or sha512 right?
[15:53] <Omen124> wez: No idea, just repeating what EriC^ said
[15:56] <EriC^> Omen124: it's probably the same, take a file that has different sizes and run 'md5sum /path/to/file' on both ones to see if they're the same
[17:11] <miner123456> hi, under ifconfig, I have lots of br-xxxxxxx, what is that for?
[17:12] <miner123456> https://termbin.com/sdon
[17:12] <oerheks> br bridge?
[17:13] <oerheks> and veth virtual Ethernet devices.
[17:13] <miner123456> oh, br stands for bridge.. but who actually set that up? the OS?
[17:13] <tomreyn> docker probably
[17:14] <tomreyn> don't use ifconfig, use ip. which ubuntu release is this?
[17:14] <miner123456> Linux home 5.0.0-38-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 3 00:27:35 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:15] <tomreyn> that's a kernel version, and a very outdated one.
[17:15] <miner123456> oh but its 2019?
[17:15] <enigma9o7[m]> i didnt know ubuntu ever even used that
[17:15] <tomreyn> not on my calendar
[17:16] <miner123456> I do have the following: New release '20.04.4 LTS' available.
[17:16] <miner123456> Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
[17:16] <miner123456> but I am not sure if it will screw things up
[17:16] <tomreyn> lsb_release -ds    should tell you which ubuntu release this is, or tries to be.
[17:17] <miner123456> Ubuntu 19.04
[17:17] <oerheks> Just go upgrading; if you do not have a backup of important data, your data is not important.
[17:17] <tomreyn> !19.04
[17:17] <miner123456> oh gosh, its eol
[17:18] <oerheks> you knew that, as it shows while you update..
[17:18] <miner123456> ok, maybe being 19.04 explains why I have error installing the nic driver then
[17:19] <miner123456> Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore.
[17:19] <miner123456> For upgrade information, please visit:
[17:19] <miner123456> http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife
[17:19] <miner123456> yeah I saw this
[17:20] <miner123456> anyway, thanks for the help. will upgrade the version.
[17:41] <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.
[17:42] <Furna_> I *must* anyway have systemd-networld listen to IPv6 ra since I must have an IPv6 assigned
[17:43] <matsaman> Furna_: maybe this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1406827/how-to-set-dns-on-ubuntu-22-04-when-you-have-no-netplan-config
[17:43] <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 ra
[17:43] <matsaman> mmm
[17:44] <oerheks> yes, you can force ipv6, see the examples
[17:44] <oerheks> https://netplan.io/examples/
[17:44] <oerheks> and force ipv4
[17:45] <oerheks> dhcp4: true
[17:46] <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 ra
[17:49] <Furna_> oerheks I am not using DHCP ... the goal is to ignore DNS server announced in IPv6 ra
[17:53] <Furna_> i.e. NetworkManager has "ignore-auto-dns" ... with that I have IPv6 address(es) from router advertisement but DNS is ignored
[18:06] <leftyfb> Furna_: why are you using NetworkManager on Ubuntu server?
[18:07] <Furna_> leftyfb I am not using it on Ubuntu Server .. I am using it on my Desktop ...
[18:08] <Furna_> oerheks: just tried "dhcp6-overrides: use dns: false" ... as expected it is not working ... that DNS arrives via router advertisment not via DHCP
[18:09] <Furna_> leftyfb: anywai I am start thinking to use it to achieve my goal ;-) I would really avoid it if possible
[18:55] <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 answer
[18:55] <Furna_> In Ubuntu's case, it's managed with netplan. When testing it, I was unable to use SLAAC without RDNSS.
[19:08] <tribore> Hi!
[19:10] <muffin> My 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] <muffin> But when I execute "sudo modprobe iwlwifi" I do not get any response
[19:11] <muffin> Do you know how I can identify the problem further?
[19:12] <sarnold> muffin: unix programs generally say nothing when they succeed
[19:12] <sarnold> muffin: but in the case of modprobe, that just means the module loaded, not anything about what the module *does*
[19:12] <sarnold> muffin: those messages, if any, are printed to the kernel message buffer -- view it with dmesg or systemctl -e
[19:12] <sarnold> sigh not systemctl -e
[19:13] <sarnold> journalctl -e
[19:13] <sarnold> the -e just limits it to the last thousand messages or something, and it's the entire journal, not just the kernel message buffer
[19:13] <sarnold> but -e is fast :)
[19:14] <muffin> Oh, I see, so the problem is not, that the module is not loaded
[19:14] <sarnold> yeah; check with lsmod | grep iwlwifi
[19:14] <sarnold> hopefully there'll be something in the logs that says what's up, but it's hard to say what exactly to look for
[19:18] <muffin> I booted from the ubuntu 22.04 live usb but that also said "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found"
[19:19] <muffin> Do you know how I can rule out a hardware problem?
[19:22] <sarnold> muffin: 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..
[19:23] <sarnold> muffin: look around the keyboard for an icon that suggests turning wifi on and off, or the radios.. or an airplane mode..
[19:23] <sarnold> muffin: running 'rfkill' will print out a bit of informatoin on the kill switch states, both hardware and software
[19:25] <muffin> rfkill does not output anything
[19:26] <sarnold> that's not promising :(
[19:28] <muffin> I will try to learn as much as I can about how ubuntu does networking and identify where exactly the problem is.
[19:29] <sarnold> muffin: it'd be worth getting to know the arch wiki, those guys have the best docs on nearly everything
[19:29] <sarnold> muffin: looking for your wireless card on their wiki is probably a pretty good starting point
[19:33] <tomreyn> muffin: "lsusb" and "lspci -knn" outputs may help diagnose this further.
[19:34] <tomreyn> this should also tell you more about the very wireless chipset you have
[19:36] <muffin> hmm.. I don't see anything wireless on lspci~ that probably means it is a hardware problem?
[19:37] <tomreyn> muffin: do you see anything that says intel and network, though?
[19:38] <muffin> no network, only ethernet
[19:38] <sarnold> maybe it's hooked up over usb internally, check also lsusb or maybe lshw
[19:39] <tomreyn> muffin: and oyou're running 22.04 on the live image now?
[19:39] <muffin> I am running a 22.04 install now
[19:40] <muffin> the card is a M.2 card I inserted myself
[19:40] <sarnold> okay that's an interesting twist
[19:40] <sarnold> check the bios setup, maybe you have to do something to enable the slot
[19:41] <sarnold> and google around a bit, maybe the vendor has hardware locked it to only accept their specific devices
[19:42] <muffin> yeah, 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!
[22:07] <tacomaster> I 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 ub
[22:07] <tacomaster> untu server os. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
[22:10] <mybalzitch> what does your fstab entry look like
[22:10] <arraybolt3[m]> tacomaster: What exactly did you put in your fstab? Ideally, upload it to a pastebin and then paste the link here.
[22:11] <tacomaster> Ha I am an idiot. I put default instead of defaults in the fstab entry . Sorry to bug you guys
[22:11] <arraybolt3[m]> tacomaster: No problem, glad you got it sorted out!
[23:26] <wez> EriC^: You still use md5?
[23:28] <sarnold> if you run debsums -c you too can use md5 :)
[23:32] <gordonjcp> in Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04 many things involving file dialogues no longer work - I can't save a PDF and I can't browse for files to attach in O365 or Facebook messenger
[23:32] <gordonjcp> is anyone else seeing something like this, and can anyone suggest a way to fix it?
[23:34] <sarnold> gordonjcp: try running 'snap connections' and see if all the permissions firefox wants have been granted
[23:38] <ravage> there is also a gui for it i the applications list in Settings
