morganuSTEAM gave me a .deb and I have zero idea of what to do with is (my modus is apt. full stop) 20.0404:58
arraybolt3[m]morganu: Stop, someone recently killed their system trying this.04:58
arraybolt3[m](Had to use PhotoRec to recover data, thankfully everything came back OK.)04:59
arraybolt3[m]morganu: Delete the .deb, then do "sudo apt install steam" in a terminal.04:59
arraybolt3[m]If it looks like it's about to wreak total havoc, it probably is, back out and try again tomorrow.04:59
arraybolt3[m](I mean, if you run the apt command and it looks like it's about to uninstall a ton of stuff, tell it no and try again tomorrow.)05:00
morganuarraybolt3[m], ok. even though I am cd into the Downloads folder and I see the file steam... apt cant find it. (I am protected, lol)05:13
morganulike a charm05:13
arraybolt3[m]morganu: You can't just "sudo apt install steam"? Or are you still trying to install the .deb?05:14
morganuI did what you said and am now in process of executing - sudo apt install steam05:15
morganuit is done. I have no games but at a board game meetup I have been learning about the range of games. Social games. Puzzle games. Last night I heard that one or more are on steam. And so Here I am installing it.05:16
morganuNow I go to activities and see how to start it.05:17
arraybolt3[m]Cool. Sounds like you got it safely then!05:17
morganuit is updating. "check" and thanks arraybolt3[m]05:17

manwhowouldbekinGreetings, all! I am on Ubuntu 22.04 and have an issue. Every now and then, I get a notification from a random app not responding. It asks whether I want to force quit or wait. No matter what I press, nothing happens. Random apps throw this warning. Whenever this happens, I am unable to run anything in the terminal. Typically, I try to run something like "killall -SIGQUIT gnome-shell". Sometimes it fixes itself, but07:22
manwhowouldbekinmost of the time I have to do a hard reboot, as I do not know what else to try. How can I troubleshoot this?07:22
manwhowouldbekinP.S. This also used to happen on Ubuntu 20.04 prior to my upgrading of this machine.07:23
arraybolt3[m]manwhowouldbekin: Have you made any tweaks to your system?07:36
arraybolt3[m]Also, the randomness of these issues sounds kinda like a possible RAM problem to me, can you run a test on your system's RAM and see what happens?07:40
manwhowouldbekinarraybolt3[m], What would those be? I am running a 5.16 kernel, but that is about it.07:40
arraybolt3[m]I mean, GNOME Shell extensions and the like.07:41
arraybolt3[m]The bit about being unable to run anything in the terminal sounds particularly suspicious, especially if you're trying commands other than killall. Sounds even more like RAM troubles.07:45
arraybolt3[m](Or maybe disk troubles.)07:45
alkisgTry to press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to VT2, login there, and type `dmesg` to see the kernel errors07:46
arraybolt3[m]manwhowouldbekin: +1 ^^07:46
Hoerbewhen i came back to my computer a notification said something like "and you have 13 days to solve this" but it disappeared too quickly to figure out its origin07:50
Hoerbeis there a way to log notifications like in xfce?07:50
arraybolt3[m]Hoerbe: Firefox update. Close Firefox, open a terminal, and run "sudo snap refresh firefox".07:50
arraybolt3[m]Either that or else you most likely have a snap you use frequently and it needed updating.07:51
arraybolt3[m]In which case run "sudo snap refresh <appname>", replacing the placeholder as appropriate.07:52
Hoerbearraybolt3[m]: very well, thanks07:54
ograyou dont need <appname> ... just "sudo snap refresh" ... also "sudo snap refresh --list" tells yu which ones will be upgraded07:55

arraybolt3[m]nulldoot: Hang on, I'm trying to help answer...08:28
nulldootokay08:28
arraybolt3[m]nulldoot: I think the best info you'll get will be by opening a terminal and running "man fstab". That will tell you the details of what you're looking at.08:29
arraybolt3[m]Also "man mount" will be helpful.08:29
arraybolt3[m]The "man" command opens manual pages for various parts of your system - think of it like the "instant help" command. You put the name of the command you want help on at the end, and it tells you info about that command.08:30
arraybolt3[m]So for all the info about how mount and fstab work, "man mount" will give you info about the mount command, while "man fstab" will give you info about the fstab file.08:30
KBarmount(8) is huge, though, so it probably won't be "instant", unless you know how to orient youself through man pages.08:35

alkisgTeckla: using which program? E.g. it works fine for me with vnc...14:53
Tecklaalkisg: Remote Desktop client (on Windows 11) and Remote Desktop server (on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).  It appears to be a known issue.14:54

TecklaNot a show stopper or anything, just a minor bummer  :)14:55
alkisgIt shouldn't even depend on xorg running though, so it's rather strange14:55

alkisgIf they're making progress with xrdp on wayland that's very good news, even if it doesn't work well yet14:57
TecklaYes!  You can RD from Windows to Ubuntu 22.04 and see the desktop, just can't interact with it yet (keyboard and mouse events don't make it through).14:58

clarkkI'm on Ubuntu 20.04. Since a recent update, a pair of bluetooth headphones that I've been using without issue for 2 years has suddenly started having problems. I can pair it, and use it, but after the first time it won't reconnect. I have to remove the device and pair it again, and then it works. Rinse repeat. I bought the same model of headphones and it has the exactly the same issue. So, to summarise...I pair the17:52
clarkkheadphones, use them without issue, when I switch them off and on again, i see ubuntu bluetooth settings go from disconnected > connected > disconnected, and the headphones say "pairing". I have to remove them in ubuntu settings and pair them again to get them to work. Any suggestion17:52
clarkk?17:53
i-garrisonclarkk: did recent update include kernel or linux-firmware changes?17:56
clarkki-garrison, no idea. maybe17:57
i-garrisonclarkk: well ok linux bluetooth is still kind of maturing, so are the kernel drivers, and it seldom happens that something breaks; if you can find out whether kernel or firmware package changed you can try rolling that back to see if it fixes the problem and then report an issue to maintainers17:59
clarkki-garrison, could you explain how to do either of those?18:00
clarkkyou want me to boot to a previous kernel? I need to get to the grub then, don't I? How do I do that?18:01
i-garrisonclarkk: if your bluetooth is intel AX2x0 device then it is one of those known to break/fix with linux-firmware changes for quite some time now18:01
clarkki-garrison, this has never happened before18:01
i-garrisonclarkk: unfortunately I cannot help with exact commands, I expected you know what has changed ))18:01
i-garrisonclarkk: but if you stay here someone probably will be able to help18:02
clarkki-garrison, no, I have absolutely no idea what changed, because I didn't change anything18:03
clarkkHow do I see what chipset I have? I used to install sysinfo, but it seems it's been removed from the apt repo18:04
arraybolt3[m]clarkk: Try running "sudo modprobe -r btusb && sleep 1 && sudo modprobe btusb". That will reset your Bluetooth module, which might help out.18:06
clarkkarraybolt3[m], unfortunately, I still see the bluetooth device go from "disconnected", I power on the device, the bluetooth device changes to connected, then it goes to disconnected again, as I hear the headphones say "pairing"18:08
arraybolt3[m]Crud, that's the best trick I know for bluetooth woes. Sorry it didn't work.18:09

tomreyncbreak: have you manually configured one or more of those modules to be loaded during boot?19:38
cbreakno.19:38
cbreakI was not aware they even existed until they showed up in the list.19:39
sarnoldclarkk: how about dpkg --list | grep linux-image | grep '^ii' ?19:39
cbreakhttps://gist.github.com/cbreak-black/3b4d6611a2a3e04e9b85bf231b3dfc9119:40
tomreyncbreak: hmm, i'm wondering what makes your system want to load those kernel modules, since they aren'T by default.19:45
cbreakmy system was originally a 21.0419:46
cbreakit got upgraded twice, until arriving at 22.0419:46
cbreakit was originally an ubuntu gnome, now it's using kde19:47
cbreakI don't think any of that would change kernel modules though19:47
cbreakI recently switched away from grub to zfsbootmenu... maybe that caused some changes. But that was several weeks ago, and this only happened now. I don't have any new hardware (unless the NSA provided something without my knowledge)19:48
tomreyncbreak: hmm, this may be related to zfs, yes. can you     sudo grep -ri ramoops /etc19:50
cbreakno result :(19:51
sarnoldsystemd instanciated units, or whatever they're called, might just have a symlink somewhere on disk19:52
sarnoldso the ramoops or pstore strings might be in symlink names, not necessarily in files19:52
cbreakindeed. Likely one that points to /lib/systemd/system/modprobe@.service19:52
sarnoldtry also sudo find /etc -name '*ramoops*' or something19:52
sarnoldexactly that, you're ahead of me then :)19:53
tomreynit could also be in /usr/lib/systemd/system/19:54
sarnoldheh yeah my first version of that command had /lib and /usr/lib in there, too, but I figured that ran a huge risk of false positives..19:54
cbreakI know the path I pasted is involved, because it's in the output of systemctl status modprobe@efi_pstore.service19:55
cbreakbut I've not found a symlink to it19:55
cbreaknot in /usr, nor in /etc, nor /var.19:55
cbreakinterestingly, both efi_pstore and ramoops are listed in lsmod19:56
cbreakso ... the modules are loaded19:56
tomreyndoes this return the paths?   systemctl list-units --state=failed --full19:56
cbreakno references to them though, if I interpret the output correctly19:57
jhutchinscbreak: Is there anything that doesn't seem to be working as a result of these errors?  A lot of systemd atempts to load services that don't exist, and fails as a way to complete without enabling something that isn't there.19:57
cbreaktomreyn: no :(19:57
cbreakjhutchins: nothing I've noticed19:57
jhutchinsmodemctl is an example.  It fails because nobody has a modem these days, but it doesn't affect anything.19:58
cbreakI'm not sure if these errors are a problem.19:58
jhutchinscbreak: If it really annoys youj. just disable it so it won't throw errors and otherwise roll merrily along.19:58
cbreakfirst I'll see if the problem persists over the next few reboots19:59
jhutchinsDoing the same thing the same way and expecting a different outcome is called "magical thinking".20:00
cbreakI'm not expecting anything :)20:01
tomreynsystemctl list-unit-files     may hint on whether these are generated units, or manually created ones20:01
cbreaktomreyn: yes. Only one file is listed: modprobe@.service20:02
cbreakI don't think it lists the symlinks20:02
tomreynyes, it wouldn't. so you just need to find those symlinks ;)20:03
=== ootput9 is now known as ootput
cbreaksystemctl show modprobe@efi_pstore.service gives me lots of stuff, among it WantedBy=systemd-pstore.service20:08
cbreakthat one exists, it's in /lib/systemd/system/systemd-pstore.service20:08
sarnold\o/20:08
cbreakit contains: Wants=modprobe@efi_pstore.service modprobe@mtdpstore.service modprobe@chromeos_pstore.service modprobe@ramoops.service modprobe@pstore_zone.service modprobe@pstore_blk.service20:08
cbreakI thikn that's the reason the thing is attempted to be started20:08
cbreakseems to be some form of kernel panic crash dump saver20:10
cbreakdoesn't seem critical either way.20:11
tomreynyou'd only need it if you wanted to analyze kernel crashes.20:11
tomreynor ensure they are captured20:12
cbreakindeed.20:13
clarkksarnold, here's the result, but I still don't know how to load one  https://paste.debian.net/hidden/ff13f7b7/20:13
cbreakfor now, I'm not interested in kernel development.20:13
cbreaklet's see if they ever add c++ support :)20:13
clarkksarnold, I pressed shift while booting, but only saw 4 options from grub20:14
sarnoldclarkk: all those 'rc' kernels are 'removed' and their 'configuration' files are still on disk20:15
sarnoldclarkk: so you've only got three images in 'installed' state20:15
sarnoldclarkk: I like to clean up those messes; apt purge linux-image-5.11.0-25-generic  will get rid of its config files and remove it from the list entirely20:16
clarkksarnold, when I did that, it resulted in, "rmdir: failed to remove '/lib/modules/5.11.0-25-generic': Directory not empty"20:17
sarnoldclarkk: that's probably not important, feel free to ignore those at the moment20:18
clarkksarnold, I still have 30 rc packages. How do I remove then all at once?20:19
tomreyn"apt purge" accepts wildcards and regular expressions on package names20:20
sarnoldbe very careful with this knowledge :)20:21
sarnoldI've written gross dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ {print $2;}' kinds of things before -- checking the output by hand before using it in a command is A Good Idea :)20:22
tomreynapt will prompt. but yes, i agree.20:22
* alkisg uses sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }')20:44
clarkkCan `apt-get dist-upgrade` be trusted? Does it ever cause problems?20:59
alkisgAll software can cause problems at some time, but apt-get dist-upgrade is the normal way to update your system (along with the newer apt full-upgrade)21:02
alkisgSo sure it can be trusted21:02
tomreynclarkk: what can cause problems are badly maintained software packages. Many PPAs would introduce those, as well as repositories not compatible to your ubuntu release. there could also be malicious software sources. keep in mind that adding an apt repository effectively means granting root permissions to your system to whoever manages this repository.21:07
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
sarnoldclarkk: be sure to skim package removals first -- it used to be common for folks who had installed guitar hero or something like that to uninstall sudo and only the package maintainer script save their bacon21:12
sarnoldclarkk: of course, people who got themselves into that situation are not able to get themselves back *out* of that situation without help.. but it was something21:12
Supervisorhello21:14
clarkkok, thanks sarnold21:15
Psil0[m]<clarkk> "Can `apt-get dist-upgrade` be..." <- It could. You are updating the kernel21:21
oerhekshttps://ubuntu.com/blog/improving-firefox-snap-performance-part-321:21
Psil0[m]Sarnold basically stated what i wanted to say.21:22

goddardi got a notification saying snap needs to update in 13 days and i need to do something to avoid disruption?21:36
goddardwhat does that mean?21:36
Supervisorhmm21:37
Supervisoridk21:37
goddardi clicked the notification and nothing happened21:37
arraybolt3[m]It means Firefox needs updated, and your system wants you to close it so it can auto-update. Problem is, it doesn't seem to auto-update very fast, so I usually force it when it happens.21:37
Supervisori suggest updating21:37
arraybolt3[m]To force Firefox to update, close it, open a terminal, and run "sudo snap refresh".21:37
arraybolt3[m]Enter your password, and it will update Firefox (and any other outdated snaps) for you.21:37
oerheksgoddard, what snap exactly?21:40
clarkkback. I tried to uninstall pulseaudio, to later reinstall it fresh, but it wanted to uninstall "ubuntu-desktop". What is ununtu-desktop?21:41
Supervisoridk21:41
oerheksseems like pulseaudio is a hard dependecie of ubuntu desktop.21:41
oerhekswhy do you want to remove it?21:41
Supervisorbut im not sure you should install if that shows up21:42
oerheksjust remove the ~/.config/pulse/ folder and restart pa21:43
clarkkoerheks, ok, thanks.21:43
i-garrisonclarkk: you do not have to uninstall pulseaudio if you did not edited anything in /etc/pulse21:47
sarnoldclarkk: ubuntu-desktop is the metapackage that pulls in all the packages that make up "an ubuntu desktop system". it's used to make sure you're kept in sync with the distro's opinions from release to release21:48
clarkkOK, thank guys. I'm rebooting again21:49
jhutchinsI have an old system thats running Debian Lenny.  Would 22.04 be a good thing to install for the sake of showing that it works when disposing of it?21:53
sarnolddepends upon just how old this thing is; is it 32-bit or 64-bit?21:53
clarkkno bueno :(21:55
aberranthi all. I am trying to get netplan to assign a static address to my usb0 interface on boot, but it doesn't seem to be working.22:10
clarkkI deleted ~/.config/pulse and rebooted. I reinstalled pulseaudio-module_bluetooth. Rebooted. Neither worked22:11
Supervisordoes ubuntu have 32 bit support22:11
arraybolt3[m]Supervisor: Sadly, not any longer.22:11
Supervisorawwwwww22:11
sarnoldSupervisor: for armhf platform ..22:12
arraybolt3[m]Supervisor: The only supported version of Ubuntu to still support 32-bit systems is 18.04, which goes out of support within a year.22:12
Supervisorbut i can use live usb and it still works but not to install22:12
aberranthttps://pastebin.com/GECiaWFA is my netplan config file22:12
arraybolt3[m]Supervisor: If you need to run Linux on a 32-bit system, and you like Ubuntu, try Debian, it's what Ubuntu is based off of.22:12
arraybolt3[m]Supervisor: Are you using an 18.04 USB stick to try to install Ubuntu? If so, that should still work.22:13
arraybolt3[m](Ubuntu 18.04 is still supported, so if you really want to use it, we're glad to help you here.)22:13
enigma9o7[m]Ubuntu 18.04 (gnome) didn't actually come in 32-bit tho; only flavors like lubuntu, xubuntu, mate, etc did.   Although you could upgrade to it or switch to it.22:14
clarkkgoing to try deleting ~root/.config/pulse too. Rebooting. bbs22:15
Supervisoroh22:15
aberrantusb0 is showing up using ifconfig, but it doesn't have the assigned address.22:15
Supervisordoes backdoor linux still work22:15
enigma9o7[m]But as arraybolt3 said, if you'r einstalling on a 32-bit system today, makes more sense to use debian (or another derivitive like mx).22:15
oerheksSupervisor, you tell us? but not in this official ubuntu support channel, please22:17
aberrantok, let's try a different question: how do I configure a static IP address for interface usb0?22:21
sarnoldaberrant: does networkctl status  report anything useful?22:22
aberrantJul 08 22:18:35 orange systemd-networkd[706]: usb0: Link UP22:23
aberrantis the only relevant line22:23
jhutchinssarnold: It's a single-core 64b22:23
sarnoldaberrant: heh :( that's not much to go on22:24
sarnoldjhutchins: wow :) yeah probably an ubuntu on it would work to show that it boots etc, but maybe use a server image rather than desktop..22:24
aberrantok, one sec. I made a change and am rebooting again22:24
arraybolt3[m]jhutchins: I'd throw Lubuntu at it and see what happens. (Disclaimer: I'm a Lubuntu contributor.)22:25
jhutchinssarnold: Hmm, yeah, I forgot they pretend server is different from desktop.22:25
aberrantsarnold: https://pastebin.com/PvMk3cUF22:25
jhutchinsI just don't want to spend a lot of time babysitting the installer or tweaking it afterward.22:26
sarnoldaberrant: if you swap the usb0 and eth0 wires, does the 'gained carrier' line move around too?22:27
aberrantsarnold: Jul 08 22:23:57 orange dnsmasq[889]: warning: interface usb0 does not currently exist22:27
aberrantwhat wires?22:28
sarnoldah is this a wireless nic?22:28
aberrantusb0 is a usb-c interface in peripheral mode22:28
sarnoldthere's some bits on how to specify which essid and key and so on to use on https://netplan.io/examples/#connecting-to-an-open-wireless-network22:29
tomreynaberrant: so it's not actually a network device?22:29
aberrantit is a network device22:29
tomreynethernet, wireless, something else?22:30
aberrantusb in peripheral mode looks like an ethernet interface.22:30
tomreynso were you ever able to configure it before?22:32
aberrantok, it's working now.22:33
tomreynbtw. use iproute2, not net-tools22:33
aberrantapparently the usb0 interface will only configure if eth0 isn't configured.22:33
tomreynyou set it to "optional"22:34
aberrantwell, I tried changing that and network setup timed out22:36
aberrantbut.. anyway. Thanks. Got it working - now I can ssh from my ipad to my raspberry pi over the usb-c interface :)22:36
sarnoldaha this is a very different kind of device than I expected :) heh22:37
aberrantmeans I can dev on the plane without having to pay for wifi :)22:37
sarnoldooo cool :D22:38
aberrantipad pro + blink + raspberry pi :)22:39
arraybolt3[m]Gotta love how Linux can let you do things for free. Right now I'm dodging having to pay for an expensive laptop by remoting into my desktop from my Chromebook.22:39
aberrantyup22:39
Supervisori wish my ipad 2nd gen still worked22:41
mybalzitchI was trying to use a usb to serial adapter, that the manufacturer has decided isn't gonna work anymore under windows, or its some new w11 bug. either way I plugged the cable into my laptop running linux and it worked instantly22:41
gneeriiloeepdeerI have tried both ffmpeg and mkvmerge from the CLI to try and trim a mp4 file. I currently need to trim the last 1.25 seconds, but oddly, mkvmerge trims either nothing or if I change the command, 12 whole seconds. If I use ffmpeg with the right timestamps, the first 9 seconds of the fila simply disappear and the file is half the size. What can I use to cut a mp4 file exactly 1.25 seconds before it ends, without changing any other22:49
gneeriiloeepdeerparameter?22:49
sarnoldgneeriiloeepdeer: I'm not very familiar with all the codec families, but this does something similar -- https://outflux.net/unix/software/GOPchop/22:54
oerhekssuch heavy codec edit.. and it all depends how secure the original was created.22:55
enigma9o7[m]gneeer, if I were doing such a thing, I'd use handbrake.22:55
enigma9o7[m]change the range drop down to "seconds" then set it exactly22:56
enigma9o7[m]or if for some reason that isnt exact enough, set it to "frames" and do the math to figure out the exact number of frames22:57
gneeriiloeepdeerenigma9o7[m], in what tab do I change the range?23:08
ffsIs there any scenario in which two processes spawned independently can suddenly share memory? Or is that only possible for processes with ancestors that also use those pages?23:28
oerheksyes, bad ram.23:29
ffsFine :). Any scenarios that happen under reasonably typical circumstances?23:30
arraybolt3[m]ffs: Two independent processes might share code (shared libraries), but data? That should never, EVER happen AFAIK.23:30
arraybolt3[m]That would be a huge security risk, and the Linux kernel goes way out of its way to avoid that.23:30
arraybolt3[m]It might be possible for two programs to communicate with each other over pipes, sockets, the network, STDIO, etc., but they shouldn't be able to "poke around inside each other's heads".23:31
ffsIf they were to both load the same library (and not as a daemon process they communicate through), could they share that loaded library or is it loaded 2x?23:31
arraybolt3[m]ffs: I believe they share the loaded library.23:32
arraybolt3[m]ffs: This might help answer your questions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11566780/process-vs-thread-can-two-processes-share-the-same-shared-memory-can-two-thr23:34
oerhekscan *suddenly* share memory?23:36
oerheksno23:36
ffsI see. So common libraries can be used from the same shared memory segment.23:36
schurichhello guys23:40
ffsHi23:41
schurichanyone free to help me put a bit23:41
arraybolt3[m]There's almost always someone here. What can we help you with?23:41
schurichbtw its my first time using hexchat or linux so i am sorry in case i have noobish questions23:42
oerhekssorry accepted.23:42
schurichas well i am not into programing so some things like terminal guides and instalations are quite tricky for me23:42
arraybolt3[m]We all start somewhere.23:42
schurichthank you a lot23:42
arraybolt3[m]schurich: You should see some of the things I've asked for help with...23:43
arraybolt3[m]OK, what's happenin'?23:43
schurichoke so i am strugling with moving top bar (taskbar) to bottom, i use gnome 42.223:43
sarnoldffs: two processes could mmap the same file or use sysv or posix shared memory segments23:43
arraybolt3[m]OK, one moment...23:43
schurichthx23:43
schurichas well superbutton and click then move guide doesnt belp23:43
schurichsince after superclick hold and clicking on tab does nothing23:44
arraybolt3[m]schurich: Have you looked into the Dash to Panel extension?23:44
schurichwhen u write in green is it private or just letting me know that u reply to me?23:45
schurichi am not sure anymore , can u guide me to that pannel23:45
arraybolt3[m]Just lets you know that I'm replying to you. Handy for when you've got 3 or 4 people all at once.23:45
arraybolt3[m]schurich: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/23:45
schurichyeap i know how crouded chats may look like23:45
schurichi dont think i have that button for pannel23:46
arraybolt3[m]schurich: OK, this is usually easy, but I'm realizing there's a possible hiccup depending on what version of Ubuntu you're using. Are you on 22.04? 20.04?23:47
schurichTo control GNOME Shell extensions using this site you must install GNOME Shell integration that consists of two parts: browser extension and native host messaging application.23:47
schurichdoes this mean to be able to see that pannel i need instal something?23:48
schurichbtw let me check ut i think i use leatest one23:48
arraybolt3[m]schurich: It means to install it easily, you need a special browser extension that lets you it.23:48
schurichsince ias i remember it was dl from ubunt site23:48
schurichshould i do that23:49
arraybolt3[m]However, I do need to know your version of Ubuntu, since there's a different procedure for installing extensions on Ubuntu 22.04 than there is on 20.04.23:49
schurichkk give me min23:49
=== u0_a2048 is now known as jadenlian
schurich22.04 lts23:50
arraybolt3[m]OK. In the website, select your version of GNOME Shell and the latest version of the extension, that will download it.23:50
arraybolt3[m](We aren't going to use the browser extension because Ubuntu 22.04 has a change in how the web browser works that breaks the browser extension, but manual installation should still work.)23:51
schurichwhen i go to the Download it offers me 42 and then 46 47 48 49 5023:51
arraybolt3[m]schurich: Use 50 in the second box, that should give you the most recent version.23:51
enigma9o7[m]gneeriiloeepdeer: The main screen you start out on... where you select source.... did you figurew it out?23:52

enigma9o7[m]That may not be the jammy version as I'm on 18.04 with a ppa, but I imagine jammy is similar....23:53
schurichbtw i would like to keep my laptop quite clean so give me sec i will try delete this file23:53
arraybolt3[m]schurich: (Linux doesn't use .exe files. Executable files generally have no file name extension at all in Linux, and LInux recognizes them based off of an Executable flag and the internal file format. So you probably won't encounter .exe files in Linux.)23:54
gneeriiloeepdeerenigma9o7[m], not precise enough: where do I write what timestamps I want? summary? dimensions? video? audio?....23:54
oerheksand maybe for firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration/23:55
enigma9o7[m]You can do all of that.  Timestamps are in the screenshot I shown, either in seconds, or switch to frames as mentioned earlier.23:55

schurichhow to make reply thing23:55
oerheksoh dear23:56
enigma9o7[m]I thought you d idnt want to change any of that anyway23:56

arraybolt3[m]schurich: You just type the name, like so: arraybolt3[m]: <put your text here>23:56
oerheksthere was an ubuntu wiki page too, outdated23:56
enigma9o7[m]Anyways you have your solution, try to use it yourself, if you actually can't figure it out after actually trying and seraching for issues / reading docs, then come back and maybe I'll try to replicate your problem.23:57
enigma9o7[m]but right now you're not describing a problem, just blahblahblah23:57
arraybolt3[m]schurich: And this is why we use those fancy tags!23:57

enigma9o7[m]type a few letters and hit tab.  hmmmm.  what a crazy idea.23:58
arraybolt3[m]sarnold: Well, yes, I know, you'll run into .exe files if you do that, but I'd guess most people don't try to run .NET applications on their Linux boxes. (Fun fact - I'm a C# programmer and use Mono quite a bit.)23:59
