SpeedrunnerG55my activities window is glitchy after i updated from 20.04 to 22.0401:05
SpeedrunnerG55https://imgur.com/a/i6R2hPC here is an example of what it looks like01:06
sarnoldneato01:07
SpeedrunnerG55i don't know what to check, or what could be causing this01:07
sarnoldyou might find something interesting in journalctl output, but that's just wild01:07
sarnoldcould you file a bug? ubuntu-bug gnome-shell   is probably a good starting point01:08
SpeedrunnerG55i see Aug 19 21:12:53 Mobile-Kep gnome-shell[3035]: Failed to load resource:///org/gnome/shell/theme/page-indicator-inactive.svg: The resource at “/org/gnome/shell/theme/page-indicator-inactive.svg” does not e>01:14

sarnoldhmm, I don't really know the internals but *that* consequence seems a bit steep for one little missing svg, heh01:17
thedoctarHi, when will Ubuntu update geoclue? I had a memory corruption crash (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/issues/164), which upstream says may be fixed by geoclue 2.6. Currently I have geoclue 2.5.7. When will the package be updated?01:49
ubottuIssue 164 in geoclue/geoclue "geoclue assert failure: free(): double free detected in tcache 2" [Closed]01:49
sarnoldthedoctar: that's not really how ubuntu works, specific bug fixes are backported: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Versions01:50
thedoctar@sarnold should I report my bug to launchpad so they can patch the ubuntu package or what?01:51
sarnoldthedoctar: yeah, that's a good idea; ubuntu-bug geoclue-2.0   will probably do the right thing; but if you don't have that package installed, then ubuntu-bug libgeoclue-2-001:53
thedoctarsarnold: many thanks!01:55
sarnoldthedoctar: thanks for the bug report :D01:55
thedoctarsarnold: I feel really good contributing to open-source projects as an amateur programmer :D01:56
sarnoldyeah, I really love that we can talk with the folks who actually make the things go :) good luck doing that with apple or google..01:57
sarnoldthedoctar: time for me to head out :) have a good night / morning / whatever :)01:58
thedoctarsarnold: it's midday here, good night!01:58

forgotmynickwhy does vsftpd docs say chroot'ing users has security implications? Isn't jailing supposed to be more secure?02:16
matsamanforgotmynick: more secure than what?02:29
murmelogra: well, would approx help out with sbuild chroots? as apt-cacher-ng does work now with auto-apt-proxy removed and selfconfigured proxy. the issue is definitely auto-apt-proxy, as it can't find the proxy04:26

fshgcan somebody add a yellow color for ubuntu05:41
fshgfor the appearance settings05:42
fshgor does somebody know where the xml file is?05:43
murmelfshg: this is the wrong channel for that. best case would probably to open a case with https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru05:44
guivercfshg, I seem to recall omg ubuntu having a post about an extension that let you change to any colors; as well it being auto-selected from wallpapers you selected etc.. ie. many posts about customization exist05:44
murmeloh wait it's not yaru, so maybe launchpad.net and then for the package gnome-control-center05:45

sgazdhow can i restrict  snaps from reading a specific file/folder?  E.g if i have keepassxc db inside my home folder and i dont want other snaps then keepass be able to read it06:52
murmelsgazd: the first entry in searx is sudo snap disconnect <snap>:home :home06:54
lotuspsychjeSpeedrunnerG55: on wich graphics?06:56
SpeedrunnerG55Nvidia Driver Version: 515.65.0106:57
lotuspsychjeSpeedrunnerG55: you might wanna test a driver switch, just to see if the glitch can go away06:59
SpeedrunnerG55what version should i try to switch to?07:02
lotuspsychjeSpeedrunnerG55: you can see the versions for your card,with ubuntu-drivers list07:03
lotuspsychjeone below for a test maybe?07:03
rfmmurmel, wouldn't that keep the snap from seeing anything the the home dir?  mor than sgazd wanted.07:03
sgazdmurmel but that would restrict the access to entire home path. i still want to have that. is it then  maybe possible to give access to a snap to a custom path?07:04
sgazdso i could give keepass an own path that all other snaps cant access07:04
rfmmurmel, sgazd not that I think it's possible to have that fine a control on apps....07:04
lotuspsychjethere's systemsettings/applications to control a bit of snap permissions, but thats limited07:06
murmelyeah also pretty sure you don't have that fine control over it07:07
murmelidk, I have the flatpak, and I restrict those to certain folders within my home dir, not sure if that's possible with snapd07:08
SpeedrunnerG55everything is green now07:21
SpeedrunnerG55and its still doing the other thing07:21
SpeedrunnerG55i switched to X.Org nouvau and now everything is green07:24

spivaki've got a laptop with 1920x1080 res07:30
spivakwhat's the situation with HiDPI support?07:31
spivakon windows it's as easy as setting display to 125%07:31
spivakwhile on linux doing the same causes blurry text and out of place application windows07:31
spivakany pointers?07:31
guivercspivak, the options vary on your release, desktop (ie. flavor) & other things you've not mentioned you'll find07:32
guivercif using a LTS release; switching to a different kernel stack (Ubuntu LTS releases have choice; GA + HWE & for some hardware OEM option(s) too) may also influence result07:33
spivakwhat's GA + HWE?07:34
guivercGA kernel stack, HWE is the hardware enablement kernel stack.. kernel stack choices07:34
spivakok will try those07:34
guivercthey're only available for LTS releases; an easy way to 'try' is using *live* media; they can co-exist on the same install unless using 3rd party closed-source 'drivers' (kernel modules) which can prevent co-existing07:35
guivercAlso providing full details allows people to give specific advice.. my comment was generic as I don't know your release (thus cannot be specific)07:36

ohadNext issue in the server: apachectl complains about (38)Function not implemented: AH00141: Could not initialize random number generator . I was hoping installing the kernel would help because I saw posts that say the new apache requires some new kernel functionality.10:00
ohadFor example this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66617147/how-to-fix-38function-not-implemented-ah00141-could-not-initialize-random-n10:13
ohadbut I worry this post is too old and that it can't be the same issue on such a recent version of ubuntu + kernel10:14
ograohad, the release notes tell what to do for appimage support (in the "Ubuntu Desktop" section) https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-notes/24668 ... "To use AppImages, you’ll first need to run 67 sudo apt install libfuse2"10:25
ohadThanks oqra, but I already have libfuse2 installed. I'm not sure why AppImages is relevant here either10:28
ograbecause you asked about them above ?10:32
ograbah, crap10:32
ograohad, sorry ...10:33
ohadNo worries, I appreciate the effort! :)10:33

ohad(even if it's aimed at someone else --- it's great to have this community)10:34
pipitsa...10:37
ohadOr this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1323305/apache-commands-failing-with-ah00141-could-not-initialize-random-number-genera They all seem to mention downgrading, but the original poster was using an older system. I'm trying to run a fairly latest version of kernel + ubuntu10:39
ohadEsp. since the release notes specifically mention upgrading apache to 2.4.5210:41
tomreynohad: do you actually need reiserfsprogs? it seems unlikely in 202210:47
tomreyn(maybe i'm late and this is already solved)10:47
ohadtomreyn , it's been solved. Whether I need it or not --- I don't know. I didn't install it directly!10:48
tomreynyou won't need it unless you have a reiserfs file system10:48
tomreynPriority: optional10:49
ohadI think my server provider probably installed it so that the server could support reiserfs10:49
tomreyncould be10:50
ohadI don't suppose you have some insights into the apache issue though, do you?10:50

tomreynandypandy: whats "the ./impish script"?11:06
ohadAh, thanks tomreyn! Seems a bit of an overkill though just to run apache2. I think I'll contact their customer support, maybe they can upgrade my kernel11:06
ohad(also, you'd expect other clients of their would hit the same issue!)11:07
andypandytomreyn: Thats the upgrade script. My version is EOL so I cannot use do-release-upgrade apparently. So I have downloaded the upgrade too manually and are trying to run it11:07
andypandyAccording to instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades11:07
tomreynohad: yes, hopefully they noticed some years earlier11:07
ohadhaha11:07
tomreynohad: there was a time when it was considered acceptable for ISPs to provide OS images which had some specific kernel that the image came with hard-wired (by some). but that's loooong ago.11:08
tomreynfortunately, since that's a great way to introduce security issues11:09
tomreyni mean hosters, not ISPs11:09
tomreynandypandy: there's no mention of ./impish.sh on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades11:10
andypandyIt mentions ./focal11:11
tomreynandypandy: i'm guessing that you misinterpreted somethign you read and are doing things wrong11:11
andypandy# Run the executable, the name changes based on the release11:11
murmeltomreyn: yes as it still mentions ./focal11:12
tomreynoh you're in the "Unsupported upgrades" section, i see11:12
andypandyI did not realise my verison went EOL untill it was too late11:12
tomreynand that's probably because you're not one but two EOL releases behind. makes sense to me now.11:12
murmelohad: I almost assume they will direct you to something like this where you also have to do this.11:12
andypandyYeah. I need to run the tool to get to 21.10. Sen normal way to 22.04.11:13
andypandyThen *11:13
tomreynandypandy: but you did change sources.list to old-releases, yet?11:13
tomreynand installed all the pending updates?11:14
andypandyI changed to old-releases, yes. Got no new updates. "All packages are up to date"11:14
tomreynandypandy: can you run this ./impish.sh script outside of X?11:16
tomreynactually "./impish"11:16
andypandyWithout sudo you mean? Or what do you mean?11:17
andypandyI ran the command "sudo ./impish"11:17
andypandyIt seems to be a python3-script11:17
andypandyhmm11:17
ohadmurmel, I expect that at the worse case they will want me to migrate my server to a newer machine, which I'll probably be happy to do11:21
tomreynandypandy: i suspect that the script is trying to interact with your graphical desktop, but fails to do so for some reason. i also assume the script would be fine not to interact with your graphical desktop if it did not find one. maybe try running it like this: sudo env DISPLAY=:1 ./impish.sh11:23
andypandyYeah it seems weird it says stuff about gtk when its a server without any gui11:24
tomreynandypandy: generally, i'd recommend running release upgrade scripts from a tty rather than from within the graphical environment, which i assume you are doing.11:24
andypandyYep11:25
andypandyI have no gui installed. Its a standard 21.04 ubuntu server install11:25
tomreynoh ok11:25
tomreynthen ignore what i wrote, let me see if i can make a better guess11:25
tomreynhttp://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/impish-updates/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/impish.tar.gz   is what you downloaded, right?11:26
andypandyCorrect11:26
andypandySeems there is a flag11:27
andypandydo-release-upgrade -m desktop11:27
andypandyFor the normwla way of doing things. When you dont want gui11:28

=== dionysus70 is now known as dionysus69
tomreynare you discussing this same issue in other places?11:29
andypandyNo. I wrote in ubuntu-server but that channel is not very active...11:29
andypandySeems so weird that I find all these different places with the same instructions. And they do not work. Beginning to think I will be forced to install ubuntu afresh..11:30
tomreynit wouldn't be a bad idea after missing two upgrades11:30
andypandyI am just no that used to this process11:31
tomreynthe process of reinstalling?11:31
andypandyI have tried to do some backups etc but I am scared shitless of fucking up my container volumes etc11:31
tomreynwe try to have family friendly language in here btw.11:32
andypandyRoger11:32
andypandyI have a bunch of docker containers with volumes and my zfs raid I dont want to mess upp. The ZFS should be fine wiht reinstall. But then comes the "copy back all docker volumes and actually get them to work"11:33
murmelsounds like you want to stay on LTS releases then, so no need to upgrade that often11:33
tomreyni can't comment on your container setup, don'T actually know what you have there. but especially with containers, it's common to be able to redeply those easily.11:33
andypandyI only went with non-lts-release because LTS did not have features I wanted. WIll not make that mistake again...11:34
tomreyni agree on the LTS comment. if you lack features there, then either find a good PPA or, maybe better, don't depend on those features.11:35
andypandyYeha well it was about wireguard and zfs. It was THE reason I even decided to build the server :)11:36
tomreyndid you try running    ./impish -m server     though?11:36
murmelandypandy: why don't you have the volumes on the zfs raid? wouldn't it make sense?11:36
murmelandypandy: zfs and wireguard are also on 20.0411:36
tomreynand 18.04, too. but maybe not back then11:37
andypandyI doesnt matter why I did what I did. It was quite some time ago. Its my first homelab with ubuntu. Did not realize how many problems it would cause.11:37
murmeloh makes more sense11:37
andypandyI decided to run the containers on my nvme ssd instead of the zfs raid.11:37
murmelcontainers != volumes11:38
andypandyThe ./impish script does not support parameters11:38
andypandyWhen running programs and databased etc in the containers, I wanted the data to be on nvme, not HDD11:38
bruno_hallo11:39
andypandyThis whole process is so frustrating.11:40
tomreynandypandy: weird, here    ./impish --help    does list several options11:41
andypandyAh yes.. Your are correct11:42
tomreyni downloaded the same archive you did, extracted it the same way (but may have different libs, i'm on 18.04)11:42
andypandyI mispoke, meant it did not support -m command.11:42
tomreynuse --frontend=DistUpgradeViewText then11:42
andypandyOoooh myy11:43
tomreynhi bruno_, welcome to ubuntu support. falls du den deutschen support suchst: der ist in #ubuntu-de11:43
tomreynandypandy: still, *do* consider the fresh install11:44
andypandyWell the script ran now. Giving me new errors :)11:47
andypandyWhile scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the11:47
andypandyupgrade was found. This can happen if you run an internal mirror or11:47
andypandyif the mirror information is out of date.11:47
andypandyDoes Ubuntu 22.04.1 fresh install support using zfs on root out of the box?11:48
* tarzeau not getting why people want to use zfs (over xfs or btrfs)11:49
murmelandypandy: not for server11:49
andypandyOk11:50
murmelit's still experimental, and no real work is done11:51
andypandyWell it seems I have no choice11:59
andypandySince the upgrade sccript will take me to 21.10. Which is also EOL. So the script updaes the sources to release files that has since been removed aswell12:00
murmeltarzeau: why not? I mean out of btrfs and zfs, I would definitely take zfs for data. as idc about the OS, most of the time I use btrfs for /12:01
murmelandypandy: yeah, with eol systems, it's quite the pain12:02
tomreynandypandy: maybe it will work if you place both the "old-releases.ubuntu.com" and "archive.ubuntu.com" domains in sources.list12:02
andypandyTo even get past my warning message I had to do that, yes. But then when the actual script runs, it replaces whatever is in there with archive.ubuntu.com Hirsuite release or whatever. Which does not exist, casued 404. Which makes the script bail out :/12:03
andypandyImpish I mean12:03
andypandyIf I had run this just a month ot two again, it would have been fine12:04
tomreynit would  have been fine if you had upgraded before it went EOL the first time12:04
andypandytomreyn: We have been through this. Please dont kick me, i am already down12:05
tomreynandypandy: i'm sorry.12:05
andypandyIts my first time having a Linux server long enough for this to be a problem12:05
andypandyI install lots of server at work, but I dont manage them after that12:06
andypandyThanks for the help :)12:06
andypandyTime to start all services again and see if I can find time in the future to reinstall the server12:06
andypandyAt least I have learned some stuff today, and there is some value in that.12:07

rabbityHi, I was exploring snap. Is it right alternative to apt-get?14:44
rabbityable to easily install using snap. Is it safe to use?14:45
murmelrabbity: no, it's a different way to get software14:45
murmeland it won't replace apt-get14:45
murmelrabbity: for the most part yes, but still be a bit careful14:45
rabbityOkay, is it maintained by ubuntu staff?14:46
murmela lot of packages come from random people of the internet14:46
rabbitysnap one14:46
murmelsnap itself yes14:46
ioriamurmel, versions are updated, i don't think might be an offline archive14:46
rabbitygot it, thank you.14:46
murmelioria: yeah I thought so, but I wouldn't mind having 1 update/week or so. shouldn't change too often except dev distro14:47
ioriamurmel, if rmadison is slow, you can try (and implement) this : curl -s https://packages.ubuntu.com/{bionic,focal,jammy}/sudo | grep Package:14:47
murmelioria: definitely works nice, now I have to think about it how I would implement it. (sub 1sec in comparison to ~20s)14:49

kkkssfhow can i use webext-keepassxc-browser with firefox in 22.04?15:44
kkkssfWhen i insstall it from repo there is no addon in firefox15:45
murmelkkkssf: it's quite the hassle. as both need an agreed directory where the "communication file" is. same thing with flatpak https://askubuntu.com/questions/1403892/ubuntu-22-04-firefox-snap-breaks-keepassxc-integration-and-other-nativemessaging15:48
kkkssfi figured that alredy out, its fixed in firefox-beta15:51
kkkssfhttps://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/07/ubuntu-devs-fix-another-frustrating-firefox-snap-flaw15:51
kkkssfbut it only works when i install the addon through firefox addons page15:52
kkkssfand the addon installation throu apt doesnt show up as addon in firefox15:52
murmelkkkssf: yes, as firefox has no access to the directory15:54
kkkssfto /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/ ?15:55
KBarhello. i am trying out firefox snap as a file manager. it cannot access outside home dir. can i grant full permissions to it?15:55
lotuspsychjeSpeedrunnerG55: gnome extensions now have its own extensions icon (grey/green puzzle icon)15:56
murmelKBar: you can, look into snap connect15:56
murmelkkkssf: i can't remember if that is the correct dir, you would need to verify it. you can see where the package installs its files with dpkg -L <package>15:57
KBarmurmel: seems complicated. which slot im gonna have to use?15:58
murmelKBar: slot?16:00
oerheksthere are snap permissions in settings > applications > firefox> permissions16:01
KBari guess its :personal-files16:02
murmelman the only grime I have with snap is that the downloads are always slow on my end :S16:02
KBari tried `snap connect firefox:dot-mozilla-firefox` & `snap connect firefox:dot-mozilla-firefox firefox:personal-files` to no avail16:08
murmeltalking about snaps, what does the bare snap do? as it gets installed quite often (and has even revisions) first I thought it was a bug16:09
=== PeGaSuS is now known as James
=== James is now known as PeGaSuS
ogramurmel, bare is empty ... every snap needs to delare its runtime environment (core, core18, core20, core22) at build time ... bare can be used for all the snaps that do not need a runtime at all (i.e. completely statically built apps), it comes with an empty filesystem structure that snapd can use for the inerfaces, udev ACLs and whatnot17:04
murmelogra: huh, so firefox doesn't need a runtime oO?17:05
ogra$ grep base: /snap/firefox/current/snap/snapcraft.yaml17:05
ograbase: core2017:05
ogra$17:05
ogramurmel, what makes you think that ?17:05
ograFF uses the core20 base ...17:06
murmelso why does it get installed with firefox then?17:06
murmelhm17:06
ograsnaps using "base: bare" are extremely rare17:06
ogra$ grep base: /snap/*/current/snap/snapcraft.yaml |grep bare17:07
ogra/snap/gtk-common-themes/current/snap/snapcraft.yaml😛ase: bare17:07
ogra$17:07
ograheh ... emojis bite again ...17:07
murmelogra: because I removed firefox as a snap, installed it right now, and it gets installed (i only have lxd as another snap)17:07
ograso from 116 snaps installed on my laptop ony one uses base: bare (and it is a theme snap)17:08
ograright, FF might need the gtk themes17:08
murmeloh so maybe it's because of the gnome stuff which gets also installed because of ff17:09
ograright17:09
ograFF ises the gnome-3-38 extension (as you can see in its snapcraft.yaml)17:09
ograthe gnome extension in turn pulls in the gtk themes snap17:10

KBargood. now how about granting permissions?18:04
KBarcan i grant firefox snap access to all files (including dot files and files outside ~)? or is it against the confined nature of snaps, so pretty much impossible?18:12
KBarogra: i think what im looking for is the `--classic` option, no?18:27
KBaror can i just modify snapcraft.yaml?18:41
murmelKBar: you can, but remember you would need to build it and then install it, rebuild it every time there is an update18:42
KBarwhat do you mean 'build'?18:44
sivikKBar, build the package. Normally done at least with normal things via ./configure, make, sudo make install18:45
KBarah, that build.. but im not building anything18:46
ograKBar, snaps can not see any files/dirs on the system unless these are actually defined in an interface (i.e. $HOME (without hidden dirs))... and even then you would only be able to access the systems / via /var/lib/snapd/hostfs ...18:51
ograwhile there are system-files and personal-files, the dirs these want to access have to be defined at build time (and get reviewed before being granted even)18:52
ogra(on a file by file/dir by dir basis per upload of the snap)18:52
ogra--classic snaps have to be built as classic from the ground up, the option only works with snaps that were built this way (and passed manual review by the security team)18:53
oerheksthere are snap permissions in settings > applications > firefox> permissions18:53
ograKBar, in other words, you can nly use firefox as a filemanager for the container it lives in and a limited amount of other files/dirs that were defined at build time18:54
oerhekspersonal files and systemfiled.. systemfiles need sudo18:54
ograwell, and they only access certain files/dirs that were pre-defined18:54
KBarhmm, firefox has 'dot-mozilla-firefox' and 'etc-firefox-policies' plugs, which only grant permission to those two files.18:54
KBarogra: i see, thanks for clarification. i guess firefox snap wasnt built with --classic?18:55
ogranope18:56
ograelse you would need to actually define --classic at install time18:56
KBara firefox .deb would let me achieve this but thats gonna require adding a ppa18:56
ogra(classic snaps can not be installed without your consent, since they have full OS access)18:56
ograoerheks, grep -B4 -A2 system-files /snap/firefox/current/snap/snapcraft.yaml ... only two dirs are granted by the system-files/personal-files inerfaces18:58
ogra(and onyl with read access)18:58
KBaryeah18:58
oerheksoh oke, did not know those18:58
oerheksthen firefox as filebrowser is of no use.18:59
KBar/etc/firefox/policies and $HOME/.mozilla/firefox18:59
ograyes18:59
ograonly to browse the readonly container 😉18:59
KBari have a minimal installation now and it doesn't ship with office suite, image viewers and what not so i figured "hey why not use firefox, it has everything, right?"19:00
ogra(and this is exactly as much as the hacker sees that takes over your browser due to a not yet discovered security hole 😉 )19:00
KBaryeah `--classic` is useless if the snap itself is strictly confined.19:02
KBargives this "Warning: flag --classic ignored for strictly confined snap ..."19:02
ogranot only that ... the whole design of the snap has to be different so you do not leak one of the environments into the other ...19:02
ogra(you dont want it to accidentially use libs from the host for example)19:03
KBarmakes sense. well i suppose im still gonna have to install a bunch of programs for opening certain types of files then :(19:03
oerheksstandard filemanager is available in minimal, no??19:04
SpeedrunnerG55how do i get to gnome extentions?19:04
KBaroerheks: lately i find myself using the shell for simple file management. i need file opener/viewer/whatever19:04
oerheksinstall gnome-shell-extensions and logout/login again19:04
enigma9o7[m]SpeedrunnerG55: `sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager`19:05
oerheksKBar, that is the downside of minimal19:05
KBarthere is filemanager, but i cant open, for example, a pdf file without having a program to do it19:05
KBarand then another one of image viewer19:05
ograSpeedrunnerG55, if you want to use the browser: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-testing-native-messaging-support-in-the-firefox-snap/2975919:05
KBarthen for audio player, etc. why not just use FF?19:05
KBari thought i was smart :)19:05
ograwell19:06
ograyou can use FF as app that opens everyhitng indeed19:06

mariwebhi am experiencing probs mounting an encrypted device on ubuntu. tried mounting via filemanager and got mapping as /dev/mapper/mydevice19:07
ograKBar, just define firefox as the opening app for everything in the file browsers mime type settings19:07
mariwebnow mounting w/ mount in terminal doesn't work it tells me wrong fs type.19:07
KBarogra: already did. it cannot open anything under /, only those it has access to :(19:07
ograah, yeah, indeed19:08
murmelKBar: it won't help with everything but I quite like gnome-sushi for that, as it opens everything it can with the button of the space bar19:08
KBarit says "file not found"19:08
ograwhy would you open any files in / anyway (with a file browser that is)19:08
KBaror complains about permission19:08
KBarogra: for example wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds19:08
ograyeah ... indeed only works for files you use in your home19:08
KBarstuff like that19:08
KBarand then dotfiles or files in dot directories19:09
KBarin ~19:09
ograright, that's on purpose indeed19:09
ogra(so snaps can nt spy on other apps configs or passwords etc)19:10
ogra*not19:10
oerheksstill complaining about firefox filemanager?19:10
KBarogra: yeah, seems to be the case. i can at least open normal files in my home directory, so that's still okay19:10
mariwebhey do you have an idea how to cope with mounting an encrypted device19:11
KBaroerheks: there was no complaining to begin with19:11
enigma9o7[m]firefox as a filemanager?  you mean like file:/// kinda thing?19:11
KBarenigma9o7[m]: yep. not file manager, more like file opener/viewer19:11
oerheksyes you do, and we have no fix for it.19:11
KBaroerheks: so in your view, everyone who comes here asking for help "complains"?19:13
murmelmariweb: what's your issue? cli? gui?19:13
KBarinteresting view, to say the least19:14
mariwebstartet with gui and switched to cli, the device is now here as /dev/dm-1 but I cannot mount it using mount, says wrong fs type no matter what fstype or auto detecting19:14
oerheksKBar, no i do not, but you keep finding issues that is specific for minimal install19:14
KBarmariweb: `sudo mount /path/to/device /path/to/mount/point` create mount point first19:15
enigma9o7[m]What's your package count from minimal install, KBar?  Just curious.19:15
mariwebKBar everyone has some point of view to anything, you dont need to feel accused of complaining as it is no crime to ask sth at all and even if it was nobody would take you to the police19:15
mariwebKBar thx mountpoint is not the problem :)19:16
KBarenigma9o7[m]: iirc it was 1285 (xubuntu 22.04)19:16
murmelmariweb: and what did you do to get to that point?19:16
mariwebmurmel: at first I tried to mount the device via the filemanager then I switched to cli. lvscan and vgchange -ay gave me the mapped /dev/dm-119:18
murmelmariweb: so I assume after you decrypted the luks? or before?19:19
mariwebI looked up some different tutorials for help but still I do not know what exactly the system wants for this operation. At the end mounting doesn't work now I am here :)19:19
mariwebmurmel after I decrypted it19:19
murmelmariweb: you should have your vgs in /dev/mapper/19:20
mariwebwhat is a vg?19:20
oerheksvolume group19:21
mariwebit shows the device with luks-[long alphanumeric id] to /dev/dm-0 and root / swap to /dev/dm-1 and /dev/dm-219:21
mariweblvscan says /dev/mydata/root and /dev/mydata/swap are "active"19:23
mariwebshould there be anouther vg?19:23
murmelvery unlikely, but we don't know your setup?19:24
mariwebls -al /dev/mapper shows the device with luks-[long alphanumeric id] to /dev/dm-0 and root to /dev/dm-1 and swap to /dev/dm-219:24
mariwebokay now do you have any idea how to proceed?19:25
murmelsounds about right19:25
mariwebuhm :(  yeah but still I can't mount19:25
murmelso what's the command you try?19:25
mariwebis there any possibility to copy files from /home without mounting the filesystem?19:26
murmelno19:26
KBarmariweb: im curious, what are the major/minor numbers of /dev/dm- (run `stat -c "%t/%T %n" /dev/dm-*`) ? such devices don't appear on this list https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/devices.html19:26
gordonjcpmariweb: not really no19:26
mariwebthere is not so many data on it but the system I originally set up is not bootable anymore, that's why I am trying to save the data19:26
murmelmariweb: yes, that's why we are trying to help you, but we need more info19:27
mariwebok I'll tell you everything you need. thanks everyone19:27
oerhekssystem not bootable anymore; are you on a live iso?19:28

mariwebokay I'll do. will you be here in 1/2 hour? I'll eat sth meanwhile19:38
murmelI should be19:39
mariwebgordoncjp: at the end if I fail with mounting or just to know, what tools are there? I know ddrescue which creates an image of the device, dd could do so as well.19:51
