dionyzizHello. I am running Ubuntu with kernel version 5.15.0-1016-raspi on a raspberry pi. I'm trying to get an external WiFi USB dongle to work here, so that I have two WiFi networks, one build-in and one from the dongle. Sadly, I'm only seeing the build-in one when I run `if address`.01:20
rboxdionyziz: what does journalctl say when you plug it in01:21
dionyzizThe WiFi dongle that I have appears in `lsusb` as "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter". I have tried following the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Ralink_RT5370 but this didn't help.01:21
dionyzizrbox: let me try that now01:21
=== polo_ is now known as polo
=== polo is now known as money
=== money is now known as polo
dionyzizrbox: Here: https://gist.github.com/dionyziz/b89a73d2a6c62ea41f4fa1ef346cf95d01:23
dionyzizI disconnected it, and reconnected the dongle. It seems that journalctl is reporting that the kernel is seeing this.01:23
rboxlooks like /etc/udev/rules.d/rt5370-usb.sh is failing01:23
dionyzizYes. This is a script I have created based on the above instructions ^. I'm not sure if I should have done that. I've made sure I've given it chmod +x.01:24
dionyzizShould I try to manually run that script in order to debug it? Would that make sense?01:24
rboxmaybe01:24
dionyzizOK so running the script /etc/udev/rules.d/rt5370-usb.sh as root gives the error: "/bin/sh: 0: cannot open modprobe rt2800usb: No such file"01:30
dionyzizThis prompted me to try and load that kernel module manually.01:30
dionyzizI used "sudo modprobe rt2800usb".01:30
dionyzizThis yields "modprobe: FATAL: Module rt2800usb not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-1016-raspi".01:30
dionyzizIt seems that I don't have the necessary kernel module.01:30
dionyzizI'm wondering how I can get this module installed. There are these relevant Debian packages: https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb01:30
dionyzizHowever, it seems that neither "firmware-ralink" or "firmware-misc-nonfree" are available to install through "apt-get install".01:31
rboxwell you're reading a page last edited in 201301:31
rboxlol]01:31
dionyzizYes, it seems that this might be out of date.01:31
dionyzizAny pointers on more recent resources I could consult? I'm having difficulty navigating this.01:32
rboxwell i c ould do the same googling you did...01:33
dionyzizMaybe you are better at googling than I am. I tried searching for the kernel module as well as the device name, together with "Ubuntu". Not sure what else to look for.01:34
dionyzizI also consulted this page, that claims this device is supported: http://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:148f-5370&page=1#status01:35
dionyziz(Including by my kernel version)01:35
eelstrebori can't get arduino 2.x from synaptic to launch but an older version 1.8 will launch - anyone experience this? ubuntu 22.0401:37
dionyzizLooking at my kernel configuration at /boot/config-5.15.0-1016-raspi, I can see that all the required options according to http://linux-hardware.org have been enabled as either compiled into the kernel or as modules.01:41
dionyzizIn particular the options CONFIG_RT2800USB CONFIG_RT2X00 CONFIG_WLAN CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_RALINK.01:41
dionyzizYet, searching for files containing "rt2800" in my /lib/modules/5.15.0-1016-raspi folder doesn't yield any results.01:41

webchat74hello! I was trying to switch from windows to ubuntu following an update error in my dell G3 3579 laptop. I turned off the RAID and switched it to ACPI, but the ubuntu installer is not detecting the  1TB internal SATA HDD, only the 16GB nvme  intel optane memory as an SSD. what to do? How to proceed?10:29
Jeremy31webchat74: any RST setting?10:30
webchat74what is that?? how to check that?10:31

webchat74ogra, my windows was already in an inaccessible mode, I couldn't switch off the RST in the recommended way. I went to the BIOS settings and changed the sata configuration to ACHI from RAID on. Is there a way to access the NTFS partitions in windows? Or should I do a complete wipe to get the HDD accessible?10:39

BluesKajHi all13:17
jeronimohi BluesKaj13:18
BluesKajhi jeronimo13:19
jeronimoI finally can play my favorite games on linux, but sadly I cant get 5.1 surround to work on my usb audio card(asus xonar u1) or 5.1 over hdmi13:21
jeronimostereo works fine ofc13:21
jeronimoit's the last reason why I have dualboot13:22
pickanickHi if I have a desktop install of 22.04 and I would prefer to run it without GUI, how do I do that? In days of old one might issue "init 1" for single user or "init 4" for multi-user non graphical.  What is the current way?13:22
pickanickAnd what is the recommended way to manage the internet connection from the resulting states?13:23
crux73jeronimo, Some hardware are chunky on linux especially for things like 5.1 audio, it's not mainstream enough, so drivers might no support the feature, you gotta check explicitly that the hardware is compatible with the ditribution.13:23
crux73Or test it with a live linux CD says at a vendor, they'd love it lol.13:24
jeronimoit get's recognized13:29
jeronimoyeah maybe I find a cheap alternative13:30
jeronimocrux73: here it says it's supported by alsa https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/Matrix:Vendor-Asus13:31
BluesKajjeronimo, check pavucontrol settings if you have it installed, if not, install it13:32
jeronimoall looks perfect, just no sound13:36
BluesKaji know alot of users despise pulseaudio, but atm it's a necessary evil til pipewire takes over.13:38
jeronimomaybe I can try a pipewire livecd13:38
jeronimolive usb*13:38
jeronimothx, will try again later13:39
jeronimoI can hear my surround sound system working, when I plug it in. for some reason it doesn't come through13:41
jeronimoI use the same card in windows13:42
jeronimoworks fine13:42
BluesKajjeronimo, sometimes games might be coded with EAC which is enhanced Dolby Digital and not recognized by your audio driver and player... but I'm not sure how this applies to games since I'm not agamer13:42
jeronimoyeah my receiver supports that13:43

TecklaAnyone have any idea why my lock screen always says "Snapd User Session Agent" at the bottom?  If I click on it, and authenticate, I don't see anything pop up related to snapd.14:36
TecklaFrequently, when just going about my business, I get snapd notifications at the top of the screen, too...14:38
TecklaSomething about giving me X days for something... never understood that.14:38
TecklaAh, "X days remaining"--that's what it always says.14:39
SteelRoseTeckla: if that happens again, close/quit the application and run "snap refresh"14:40
SteelRosethen launch the affected application14:40
TecklaSteelRose: Hmmm... even if the only program I'm running is Chrome, which I don't think was installed as a snap?14:42
lorn1975hi14:45

borked2022is anybody familiar with ubuntu's default zfs data pool layout?15:13
borked2022any idea why I have a /boot/boot  with diffirent kernel versions?15:14
EriC^borked2022: hey15:18
EriC^borked2022: yesterday when i made the vm it made /boot/boot with kernels, when i chrooted according to the guide and installed 0.50, it put them in /boot fwiw15:18
EriC^i wasnt able to get that thing booting though, when i update-grub it never sees the kernels in /boot or /boot/boot and my grub.cfg is empty15:19
EriC^borked2022: id recommend you maybe fix the /boot being not empty first, then see what happens and go from there, there's also #zfs probably and the guys in #linux15:19

Tecklalotuspsychje: I would guess lots (and lots and lots) of people have already asked for an easy way to set a solid desktop background color... but maybe I'm wrong about that...16:15

OnkelTemHi all. I'm on 22.04 and there's one bug that makes me really upset19:29
OnkelTemI get TLS initialization failed here and there19:30
OnkelTemFor example, when I try to upload a Flameshot screenshot to imgur, I get: "TLS initialization failed"19:31
OnkelTemDid you ever happen to see this error?19:32
tomreynOnkelTem: that's unusual. is your system fully updated?19:33
tomreynwhich software is reporting this message?19:33
tomreynis your system date correct? (run "date")19:34
OnkelTemtomreyn: yes, up to date, date is ok too19:36
tomreynthanks for answering, so far, 2 of 3 questions.19:37
enigma9o7flameshot allows you to upload to imgur built in, dont need another application19:39
ioriaOnkelTem, can you try the snap version ?  as a test19:39
tomreynoh ok, i'm not familiar with this software (did not even know Flameshot was a software).19:43
ioriait's just a screenshot utility with an upload function19:44
tomreynthanks ioria, i just looked it up.19:45
tomreyni guess it will be using the qssl lib with an outdated TLS version, thus throwing this message19:46
ioriayep19:46
ioriaor he has installed some external ssl packages or stuff19:47

leftyfbZscaler is a load-balancing service21:20

leftyfbOnkelTem: so you're going out on one ip/interface and responses are coming back in on another21:21
OnkelTemWhat's really annoying there is no way to stop it. But once I uninstalled it, system became much more stable: no more KDE services crashes upon startup, no more TLS initialization errors21:21

howudodatcan someone tell me the order of the init scripts?  I have a simple script on xrdp running on 22.04 that tests for a file.  if .usegnome exists it removes .xsession and sets up .xsessionrc.  if it doesn't it creates .xsession and .xsessionrc for kde.  there is no gmd etc as it's xrdp.  I do this in .profile, but when switching from kde back to gnome, requires 2 logins / logouts before it works23:22
sarnoldhowudodat: hmm, init scripts should *not* be touching user files23:34
sarnoldhowudodat: .profile is sourced by bash when starting, the rules for which files specifically are read by which bash processes is hard to use; since you asked about gdm and init scripts it sure feels like .profile is almost certainly the wrong place for whatever it is you're trying to do23:34
bougymanI used to be able to say .xprofile, but with the advent of wayland I don't know if that's honored any longer.23:36
howudodatI dont think xrdp uses wayland.  and I would have guessed that ~/.profile is where you want to touch user files for customization23:37
sarnoldwhat's .xprofile?23:37
howudodatI just think it's too late in the chain of files and that maybe .xsession is getting called first, not sure23:38
