[00:03] Ya that's a useful setting. I want the screen off, but the laptop to stay on. Sometimes cuz I'm walking to an other room. Sometimes cuz I'm using an external monitor. I only want the lid to control the screen itself on/off. [00:05] make sure for on powersupply and for battery [00:43] I have an HDD that I used with USB, now it's connected via SATA. Ubuntu seems to auto-mount it to /media/user. If I add the hdd to fstab, will it stop auto-mounting? [00:44] yeah I think I'd expect /etc/fstab to take precedence [00:44] Yeah. Its probably your file manager or desktop or something mounting it. [00:44] what even makes ubuntu decide to auto-mount things? [00:44] Most file managers have a settingfor it. [00:44] I think the gui desktop things drive udisks2 to do the work [00:46] I'm just using the default "Files" [00:48] it actually doe not mount it, it just shows as result from a scan [00:49] mmmm I assumed it was mounted. I'll add it to fstab and reboot [00:49] thx :) [00:49] and then when you click on it, it mounts it [00:49] in /meda [00:49] as if its a flash drive or cdrom or something [00:50] :+1: === axsuul_ is now known as axsuul [01:59] hi [01:59] JerOfPanic: hi === rooferdave7 is now known as rooferdave === Guest1182 is now known as Owsley === _saltd is now known as saltd [03:52] All of a sudden, getting some GPG error during package installation..

[04:21] no not yet, as I can't post anything except, that it crashes [04:22] but will definitely test out some more releases.

Wth, virtualbox in jammy is losing bits and bytes?! :D [08:41] * alkisg tests with oracle's vbox instead of the one from the repositories... [08:43] alkisg: what's the error you're getting? [08:44] EriC^^: about 5-10 corrupted files, random each time [08:44] They're not actually corrupted; if I chroot and dpkg -V, they are fine [08:45] So vbox is corrupting disk reads or ram contents or something [08:46] nice, TIL about dpkg -V [08:47] debsums -s is a bit better, but dpkg is preinstalled [08:47] yeah, did not know dpkg can do that out of the box though, pretty neat [08:47] no idea about the vm issue though, odd [08:51] alkisg: i found virtualbox pretty laggy overal compared to a VM in gnome boxes on jammy [08:52] Disk access does seem rather slower than it was in all the previous versions [09:01] alkisg: cant see something similar reported yet; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bugs?orderby=importance&start=0 [09:04] Installed vitrualbox from oracle, and without rebooting, dpkg -V is now clean inside the VM. Which means that vbox from the repositories is dangerously broken, it corrupts data.

[16:11] https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [16:12] the latter [16:12] tomreyn: why? [16:13] you'll get a free upgrade path, don't need to worry about vulnerabilities so much [16:14] plus you get to easily verify the authenticity of what you downloaded. [16:14] isn't `dpkg -i` going to add the repo? [16:14] maybe, depends on whether the package you install this way also installs an apt repository configuiration [16:14] i don't think it does, but i can be wrong there. [16:15] it doesn't. [16:16] note that there are other options besides virtualbox (but then you did not ask about this) [16:17] the other advantage of adding the repo and installining with apt or apt get instead of dpkg is it will automatically run down the dependencies [16:17] I see [16:17] whato ther options?

[16:21] this is confusing [16:24] varaindemian, it's telling you how to run an older version if you need to, for example 5.2 was the last version that ran without hardware virtualization [16:25] varaindemian, unless your hardware is ancient use the latest release (6.1) [16:26] So I get that this is not the correct place to ask for help. But it's the best place I know. It's (I think) not even Linux related. The thing is I got a sunscreen and I lost the remote. Is there some way to bring it back in without remote? It has (i had lol) a Somfy remote with 3 buttons on the front and a small reset button on the back. The remote [16:26] is in Warsaw. I am in Amsterdam. [16:27] XoloX: this is just the right place to ask for help with Ubuntu and its official flavors, though. [16:27] (as the channel name could have hinted at, and its /topic, too) [16:29] Hey guys anyone there? [16:31] I'm having difficulty managing my theme [16:32] I just upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04 and the dark theme isn't being set up correctly [16:32] on Gnome 4 [16:32] I'm not sure what to do [16:33] Even on the chat client I'm using currently. Everything is bright white [16:33] i think themes are set in 'gnome tweaks' [16:33] ("Tweaks" on the menu [16:33] I did do that [16:34] But part of the applications are in dark and rest are this really bright white [16:34] Even menus are like that [16:34] maybe the theme you have is not compatible to the very version of gnome-shell you are running now? [16:34] Gnome shell is version 42.4 [16:35] and your theme is compatible to? [16:35] Even when I use inbuilt themes like Yaru. I'm getting the same results [16:36] The theme is Dracula. it should be compatible.

[20:15] jhutchins: also am I using this "mention" feature correctly? [20:16] bobsmops: Not sure about "mention", most clients allow you to start typing a nick and then hit tab to complete it, a nick followed by a colon (:) will often highlight your post for that nick's user. [20:17] What kinda mention feature are you trying to use? [20:17] bobsmops: Your messages to me highlighted here. [20:17] tripp4h, you're getting that 404 because hirsute (21.04) is EOL [20:17] jhutchins: ah yeah it works with starting to type and then tab. Thanks! Yeah I was asking whether it's working and highlighting for you. [20:18] enigma9o7[m]: I was just trying to do the same thing jhutchins did to highlight their messages to me. [20:18] Ah ok. Neat. [20:21] bobsmops: It can be educational to "lurk" here and see what problems other people have with Ubuntu, and how they eventually solve them. [20:22] rfm: ahh. i have imagemagick installed but i can't use it from commandline. [20:27] anyone know what happened to cpuburn and if there's some alternative I should be using to do a hardware stress-test? [20:27] tripp4h: Gotta read the man pages and the web pages.

[20:28] tripp4h: I think it can be as simple as convert foo.jpg foo.mp4 [20:28] jhutchins: i also want to include audio in the video [20:28] tripp4h: It can be a lot more complicated, and so can adding audio. [20:29] tripp4h: So you're trying to get a still picture with a sound track? I'm sure it can be done, but it's beyond my knowledge. [20:30] I don't know how you get duration on the image. [20:30] Hmm, maybe convert the sound file to a video format, then merge the graphic? [20:31] i would want to do that with ffmpeg. [20:31] tripp4h: can you explain what you're trying to do?

Although joining an irc chat is an unusual type of experience for me, a bit of hardship every time. ;) [20:33] jhutchins: cool, thanks! maybe that'll help. [20:33] tripp4h: Let us know how it goes! [20:34] joining irc should not be a hardship. please elaborate and perhaps that can be resolved. It should be a joy... [20:34] i hated to use some of the video editor software, they had bugs and the conversion took like an hour or more. i have a slow computer. iirc the software crashed before the conversion got finished. [20:34] tripp4h: nightmare [20:34] tripp4h: ffmpeg ought to be a good solution for this [20:35] at least i didn't get a good result of it. tried two or three different software. [20:35] FWIW, after some more digging, it seems like both stress and stress-ng are reasonably substitutes for cpuburn [20:35] tripp4h: the absolute best video editor on Linux is DaVinci Resolve, but it needs quite a chunky graphics card [20:35] tripp4h: otoh if you have basically any NVidia card that can do CUDA it'll work, even if it doesn't work well [20:36] !info audacity [20:36] gordonjcp: i have just some old videocard from about 2005 i think :-).

[22:38] ThomasCrown2: or, maybe i should ask more generally: did you modify the system-wide python installation? [22:38] because this looks like it a lot [22:39] tomreyn, I don't believe so. [22:40] tomreyn, distro-info is showing up in the 'pip list' [22:40] should I remove it? [22:40] which version?

[22:44] tomreyn, yes I had performed those commands. [22:44] did they return warnings or error messages? [22:44] were packages installed?

[22:46] other people reporting similar errors after they had installed, through pipi, python modules globally on their system. something you should never do. [22:46] *pip [22:48] you can do it for the restricted user, you can do it in a venv, you can do it in a chroot, but don't do it on the system level, because key parts of ubuntu come as python scripts, and need to be those very versions to be compatible to one another. [22:48] tomreyn, so never install pip modules through sudo? [22:48] right, there's no use case for this anyways [22:49] tomreyn, thank you for the information and the help. I really appreciate it.
