[00:19] <tortal> im getting https://pastebin.com/raw/9GiQM65i this after each installation now.. wasn't on 20.04. What's the incentive of this post apt install script
[00:22] <tomreyn> tortal: this is output from package "needrestart". did you maybe install it manually?
[00:23] <tomreyn> oh you're on 22.04, then it may be installed by default
[00:23] <tomreyn> or at least i'm guessing you are, based on "wasn't on 20.04".
[00:23] <tortal> aha
[00:24] <tortal> yeah, wsl2 even
[00:25] <tortal> en example of a small package that needs a restart. moreover, that doesn't contain its own prit about that
[00:34] <tortal>   
[00:58] <tortal> problem solved :sudo apt remove needrestart
[03:07] <OrcD3vil> on Debian you configure static ip address in /etc/dhcpd.conf file but its not on Ubuntu

[04:36] <hp> Goodnight everyone. In the beginning of ubuntu when the mouse cursor was placed over a photo you could see the same preview without opening it. With the dconfig editor how can I enable that option.
[04:36] <hp> Thanks for the help in advance.
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> hp: i think you're looking for the value click-action in dconf
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> type the keyword in dconfs search field
[04:44] <hp> but where is the option there in dconfs

[07:49] <hid3> Greetings everyone. Is there any way to add some custom string/variable, taken from /etc/motd file to PS1 prompt? E.g. I'd like to have something like that: user@hostname (myvariable) ~ $
[08:26] <tomreyn> hid3: PS1 can be freely set, and can include variable substitution, or contain the output of a command, too
[08:27] <tomreyn> see your ~/.bashrc (assuming this is bash)
[08:55] <graingert[m]> in launchpad how do I see the patch for the bugfix? eg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1923541
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> graingert[m]: could be the fix still needs come be incoming into updates
[08:57] <graingert[m]> you're misunderstanding me
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> not all fixes/patches show on LP either
[08:58] <graingert[m]> I just want to see the patch
[09:03] <graingert[m]> how do I un-ignore a crash?
[09:03] <graingert[m]> I think I accidentally ticked the box to say "ignore this error next time"
[09:04] <tomreyn> graingert[m]: possibly in /etc/apport/blacklist.d
[09:07]  * graingert[m] sent a code block: https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/f109c33aaa9732394f5177d36e032cfe025389b8
[09:07] <graingert[m]> nope
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> graingert[m]: i see your new bug has arrived, bug #1982684
[09:08] <graingert[m]> basically I reproduced https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1982685 three times then it got worse
[09:08] <graingert[m]> and now apport doesn't even run anymore
[09:10] <graingert[m]> lotuspsychje: yeah looks like they fixed that other person's issue and broke my workflow :p
[09:10] <lotuspsychje> graingert[m]: did you try to purge and reinstall apport yet?
[09:10] <graingert[m]> that sounds a bit too scary for me
[09:10] <graingert[m]> I just want to review the patch that claimed to fix the casper md5 bug
[09:14] <graingert[m]> I'm assuming that's causing the issue with the automated report tool
[09:14] <tomreyn> https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/hirsute/apport/ubuntu/revision/2857 -> download diff
[09:14] <graingert[m]> but I can only get the casper md5 keyerror with the manual report tool
[09:15] <graingert[m]> yep the patch is bad
[09:15] <graingert[m]> should be `report['CasperMD5json'] = ''`
[09:16] <tomreyn> since this channel is primarily for user support, maybe consider #ubuntu-devel (but please read its topic)
[09:17] <graingert[m]> well my end goal is to get user support for my mu crash :p
[09:17] <tomreyn> what's "mu"?
[09:18] <graingert[m]> in 22.04 it's a tool for generating crashes
[09:18] <graingert[m]> it's supposed to be a text editor
[09:20] <tomreyn> !info mu-editor
[09:20] <tomreyn> so this one, i guess
[09:21] <graingert[m]> can you reproduce  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1982685  with it?
 "since this channel is primarily..." <- which bit of the topic?
[09:23] <tomreyn> all of it. maybe, specifically, "Devel of Ubuntu (not support)"
[09:26] <graingert[m]> ah I thought you meant Nickserv
[10:20] <deskwizard> Hi, I was wondering if any of you have tips or know of a good tutorial for setting up a bootable software raid1 ? I'm not getting anywhere with my lack of google-fu apparently
[10:21] <deskwizard> I tried following a couple tutorials with no luck whatsoever, I will be totally honest, it's very most likely a user problem more than anything else :P
[10:22] <tomreyn> deskwizard: are you planning to do a desktop or server installation? which installer have you tried so far?
[10:24] <deskwizard> tomreyn: desktop install, Kubuntu, the live installl booted off USB. I tried mdadm, I managed to get the "drives" up and all, but it's as far as it got, it errored out installing grub, and since it's a fatal error, it ended right there.
[10:25] <tomreyn> is this an uefi booting system?
[10:25] <deskwizard> yes
[10:25] <tomreyn> was there an efi system parttition already, or did you create one?
[10:26] <deskwizard> tried both
[10:27] <tomreyn> how did you (or did you get this far?) install kubuntu after setting up the raid manually with mdadm?
[10:27] <tomreyn> you can try the server installer, which supports software raid-1, and later purge ubuntu-server and install kubuntu-desktop
[10:28] <deskwizard> long story short, I booted off the live usb, dropped into try mode, set up the array, started the installer. It got to the end, then that grub fatal error
[10:28] <deskwizard> alright, I'll get the download going
[10:45] <tablewizard> Should I start by wiping re-creating the partition table on both drives to clean them up?
[10:46] <tablewizard> Sorry if I'm asking basic questions this morning, but I've played hard drive tetris for way too long yesterday, this is getting done, I don't care how, but it's going to happen. hehehe
[10:48] <tomreyn> tablewizard: yes, it's best to wipe the partition tables on both disks first of all. if you will re-create partition tables at identical boundaries again then also wipe on-partition structures before you remove the partititon tables.
[10:48] <tomreyn> wipefs can do either.
[10:49] <tomreyn> this said, you *can* also try this without doing so.
[10:52] <tomreyn> https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/storage
[11:15] <tablewizard> tomreyn: thanks for the tip on the server install, it's installing on the array as we speak
[11:16] <tablewizard> I'm not sure I'll bother with the DE, to be honest it's more of a lazyness thing than anything else
[11:16] <tablewizard> but let's say I decide to... :P
[11:18] <tablewizard> purge and install the two packages you mentioned basically?
[11:19] <tablewizard> (sorry I switched client and don't have the log on the previous one)
[11:19] <tablewizard> purge ubuntu-server and install kubuntu-desktop was it ?
[11:23] <tablewizard> I should have asked yesterday and saved a day of messing about, booted. Thank you SO much tomreyn
[12:01] <tablewizard> tomreyn: well, I spoke too soon, seems like the ethernet adapter is not showing up in kde itself, works from the command line, tried adding it manually, no luck. I'll jump to the other side see if they have thoughts
[12:02] <cbreak> tablewizard: have you set up your /etc/netplan/xxx.yaml to use renderer: NetworkManager ?
[12:03] <cbreak> that's what one would use for a desktop system I think
[12:03] <cbreak> (and I'm not sure if it's sufficient)
[12:03] <tablewizard> cbreak: my who what now? :P I'll look into that, thanks :)
[12:16] <tablewizard> cbreak: damn you're good ;) thanks !
[12:40] <vegg> Hello, this is probably a bug? https://imgur.com/a/FOqhHoD Can not close Advanced Features window in any way. What did I do? First I pressed Install Now, then confirmation appeared of erasing disc, then I clicked Advanced features... button and after I closed Erasing confirmation. And now I can't continue to install.
[12:41] <vegg> Cancel Ok X doesn't work
[12:42] <cbreak> vegg: does it work if you select "zfs"? :D
[12:42] <vegg> lol no
[12:42] <cbreak> and enter / return / escape also don't work?
[12:44] <vegg> nope, it doesn't want to close, I can select radio boxes/checkboxes stil... well gonna restart installation
[12:52] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:48] <arthur-_> hello. why is "sudo apt update" giving me this weird error? I did nothing special (I don't think) : https://pastebin.com/knxVVSuV
[13:49] <arthur-_> E: The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute Release' does not have a Release file.
[13:49] <arthur-_> N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
[13:51] <ravage> !eolupgrade
[13:53] <arthur-_> it's from last year...
[13:53] <arthur-_> well ok
[13:53] <arthur-_> thanks
[13:53] <ravage> use the LTE versions if you dont want to upgrade often
[13:53] <ravage> LTS
[13:55] <arthur-_> anything I can do to move forward without doing an upgrade *for now* ? I really need to install mysql-server today, and I can't do an upgrade/reboot until the end of the month...
[13:57] <ravage> you can change your sources lists to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
[13:58] <ravage> its is descriobed in the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades process
[13:59] <arthur-_> that seems to work, thanks!
[14:03] <ravage> great. please upgrade asap. or at least dont let that system online
[14:03] <ravage> its a security risk
[14:22] <ravage> with a little research you can use a lot more of course. and many sellers offer laptop without an pre-installed OS (or just some FreeDOS) for a lower price
[14:55] <magga> guys i have ThinkPad E15 GEN 3 20YG006BMX. Im running Ubuntu and trying to connect to a network using ethernet. for some reason I have to write 'ethtool enp2s0' to get it to work? anyone know what it might be?
[14:55] <magga> i found that out after a long hour of trying differnet things. i dont even know what ethtool enp2s0 does
[15:05] <magga> Would like it to work automatically without manually typing that command
[15:12] <ravage> that command alone should not do anything
[15:13] <magga> thats what i thought :O but it does enable my ethernet.
[15:14] <magga> before writing that command it says Cable Unplugged in Network, and the slider is disabled
[15:14] <ravage> which version of Ubuntu? desktop installation?
[15:15] <ravage> you can also follow "journalctl -f" while you enter that command
[15:18] <magga> OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS x86_64
[15:18] <magga> Kernel: 5.15.0-41-generic
[15:19] <ravage> "lspci|grep Ethernet" can also be helpful
[15:19] <magga> yeah thats one of the commands i tried earlier
[15:19] <magga> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)
[15:19] <ravage> ok
[15:20] <ravage> i have the exact same hardware in my local device here
[15:21] <magga> when i write "sudo ip link" it says down mode
[15:21] <magga> what does your say?
[15:21] <magga> maybe i need to set it up? :o
[15:22] <ravage> my link is up or i could not write to you :)
[15:22] <ravage> it should come up automatically when the cable is connected
[15:22] <oerheks> try another cable..
[15:22] <ravage> that could be worth a try
[15:23] <ravage> i think that driver in general is very common and should not have any major bugs
[15:23] <magga> oerheks: haha i have no problem connecting, but i have to manually write "ethtool enp2s0" to get it working :S
[15:23] <magga> i dont even know what it does
[15:23] <ravage> try it anyway
[15:23] <magga> if i unplug and then plug it back again, i have to still manually type the above command ^
[15:24] <magga> the cable and everything is fine
[15:24] <magga> its just that i have to manually type "ethtool enp2s0" once plugged in. theres no other way to enable the ethernet connection ;S
[15:24] <ravage> did you try another cable or not?
[15:25] <magga> i have tried several other cables :D
[15:25] <magga> theres nothing wrong with the cables
[15:25] <magga> they work excellent
[15:25] <ravage> ok and what does your system log say when you enter that command?
[15:25] <magga> but only way i can "enable" the connection is by writing that command : "ethtool enp2s0"
[15:26] <magga> i'll check, hold on
[15:26] <ravage> also send the output of "lsmod | grep r816"
[15:27] <magga> alright
[15:27] <magga> brb testing
[15:30] <magga> lillemagga:~$ lsmod | grep r816
[15:30] <magga> r8169                  98304  0
[15:31] <ravage> does "dpkg -l|grep r8168" show any output?
[15:31] <magga> the syslog doesnt say anything new. im viewing it from the UI Logger
[15:31] <magga> nope
[15:31] <ravage> use "journalctl -f" in a terminal
[15:32] <magga> im connected to the cable now
[15:32] <magga> you want me to disconnect, and then write that before i write my ethtool command
[15:32] <ravage> yes
[15:32] <magga> trying
[15:34] <ravage> if that does not show anything you can try "sudo apt install r8168-dkms"
[15:34] <ravage> after that you have to reboot
[15:34] <ravage> in case that makes it worse you can remove it with "apt remove --purge r8168-dkms"
[15:35] <magga> juli 24 17:34:27 lillemagga NetworkManager[1217]: <info>  [1658676867.4630] device (enp2s0): Activation: successful, device activated.
[15:36] <ravage> that is really strange
[15:36] <magga> :D
[15:36] <ravage> try the dkms module
[15:36] <magga> my mind is bloooown. what is that dkms thingie? a new driver?
[15:37] <ravage> an alternative to the one in the kernel
[15:37] <magga> alright
[15:49] <magga> ravage: thanks it worked now
[15:49] <magga> after the install
[15:50] <magga> what does it actually do ?
[15:50] <ravage> it just uses a different version of the driver
[15:51] <ravage> probably one that fixes a problem with your hardware
[15:51] <magga> oh ok
[15:51] <magga> its automatic now
[15:51] <magga> not that it was a big problem
[15:51] <magga> but strange that i had to write ethtool "name of ethernet"
[15:52] <magga> name of device
[15:52] <magga> for it to connect
[15:52] <magga> ravage: how did you find out that it would work with that install
[15:52] <magga> im impressed=)
[15:53] <sonicwind> according to the man page, all that ethtool command does is print the current settings... so that is strange
[15:53] <magga> yeah ;O
[15:54] <magga> im guessing i will never found out why that problem occured :d
[15:54] <magga> whats the easiest way to check what driver my ethernet has btw?
[15:56] <magga> sonicwind: yeah and the weirdest part was that earlier when i was trying to get it to work i was just looking to write "ethtool <devicename>" to see its current settings. i was shocked when i suddenly saw in the top right corner that Wired was connected
[16:09] <amazoniantoad> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a ROG asus motherboard with a RAID 0 configuration. I am able to see the raid volume on install and even install to it. However, when I boot it just goes straight to the BIOS and no changes I make seem to have any impact
[16:09] <amazoniantoad> I've tried setting things to AHCI, disabling safe boot, secure boot, etc.
[16:10] <amazoniantoad> Can anyone help me get ubuntu running?
[16:14] <tomreyn> amazoniantoad: bios all upgraded? if that's not it, not using fake raid or secureboot should help there.
[16:14] <amazoniantoad> tomreyn: what do you mean fake raid? Secure boot is disabled
[16:15] <tomreyn> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID#Firmware-_and_driver-based
[16:17] <tomreyn> i'm suggesting not to use the (exclusively) firmware-assisted RAID and instead use software RAID, as is available from ubuntu server installer.
[16:17] <amazoniantoad> tomreyn: this is a RAID from the motherboard
[16:17] <amazoniantoad> oh
[16:17] <amazoniantoad> I see
[16:17] <amazoniantoad> i'll try that then
[16:17] <amazoniantoad> thanks
[16:18] <tomreyn> if this will be a desktop system in the end, you'll want to purge ubuntu-server and install ubuntu-desktop (or the ubuntu !flavor that you wanted) afterwards
[16:19] <tomreyn> also install network-manager, if it doesn't happen automatically
[16:21] <tomreyn> amazoniantoad: you'd also want to purge cloud-init then
[17:45] <amaroq> Hellow
[17:48] <beuys> When I do "mount", I see tons of lines like this: /var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapd_16010.snap on /snap/snapd/16010 type squashfs (ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide)
[17:48] <beuys> What is that? I don't think I have any "snaps" running.
[17:48] <amaroq> ubuntu is installing but there seems to be issues. It's not running smoothly and some crash message appeared which I sent to Canonical.
[17:49] <amaroq> I suspect its something to do with the hard drive or bios but don't know how to diagnose
[17:53] <amaroq> Already installed Budge twice and now Ubuntu....any suggestions, please, anyone?
[17:53] <gordonjcp> amaroq: what exactly was the "crash issue"?
[17:59] <amaroq> @gordonjcp, system seemed to slow down and graphics got quirky. For e.g. dock in Budgie would be in the middle of the screen (not at the bottom) In Ubuntu itself when I resized terminal it was glitching. I took photos of the output before sending but it is very very long...I took it with my phone camera so, it would take a long time to write out in a text file but its possible
[18:01] <amaroq> I went into BIOS where I was playing with it in order to get it to read the usb. This is a Dell latitude E7470 btw. There were different options that made boot options appear and disappear. I might have messed something up. I just went back in and tried resetting it to the last time it was "good"
[18:37] <toddc> amaroq: I did a ubuntu install on a E7470 last week I had to upgrade the bios to get a stable boot option
[18:38] <toddc> amaroq: it did seem a bit slow for the first day then worked well after that but I did not look into it (I assume downloading snaps in the background)
[18:38] <amaroq> @toddc, aha! what a coincidence...so, you relate to the instabilityy issues. How does one upgrade the bios?
[18:41] <toddc> amaroq: I still had windows but you can install with bios on a usb or several other tools freedos or here is a dell guide https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000131486/update-the-dell-bios-in-a-linux-or-ubuntu-environment
[18:44] <amaroq> @toddc, thank you...I'll see whether I can follow that through.
[19:04] <amaroq> @toddy, do you think I'll need to reinstall Ubuntu or will updating bios fix it?

[21:50] <ynot> does anyone know a spiffy tutorial to calibrate the pdp wired controller for xbox one in ubuntu?
[21:56] <ynot> btw, ubuntu studio is spectacular on the thinkcenter m90-n
