[00:10] <Oski146> hello i have a dumb question but is it possible tu use usb connection in ubuntu with old consoles like playstation portable or playstation vita?
[00:10] <matsaman> to do what
[00:10] <Oski146> to transfer data
[00:11] <matsaman> seems you can for PSP
[00:11] <Oski146> okay that sounds good. so i will try it out when its arriving soon
[00:12] <matsaman> dunno about vita, might be so niche nobody finished work on it
[00:12] <matsaman> PSP I believe doesn't try to make it hard in the first place the way vita does
[00:12] <Oski146> ok so i need to  try with vita...
[01:20] <dionyziz> Hello. 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`.
[01:21] <rbox> dionyziz: what does journalctl say when you plug it in
[01:21] <dionyziz> The 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] <dionyziz> rbox: let me try that now
[01:23] <dionyziz> rbox: Here: https://gist.github.com/dionyziz/b89a73d2a6c62ea41f4fa1ef346cf95d
[01:23] <dionyziz> I disconnected it, and reconnected the dongle. It seems that journalctl is reporting that the kernel is seeing this.
[01:23] <rbox> looks like /etc/udev/rules.d/rt5370-usb.sh is failing
[01:24] <dionyziz> Yes. 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] <dionyziz> Should I try to manually run that script in order to debug it? Would that make sense?
[01:24] <rbox> maybe
[01:30] <dionyziz> OK 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] <dionyziz> This prompted me to try and load that kernel module manually.
[01:30] <dionyziz> I used "sudo modprobe rt2800usb".
[01:30] <dionyziz> This yields "modprobe: FATAL: Module rt2800usb not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-1016-raspi".
[01:30] <dionyziz> It seems that I don't have the necessary kernel module.
[01:30] <dionyziz> I'm wondering how I can get this module installed. There are these relevant Debian packages: https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb
[01:31] <dionyziz> However, it seems that neither "firmware-ralink" or "firmware-misc-nonfree" are available to install through "apt-get install".
[01:31] <rbox> well you're reading a page last edited in 2013
[01:31] <rbox> lol]
[01:31] <dionyziz> Yes, it seems that this might be out of date.
[01:32] <dionyziz> Any pointers on more recent resources I could consult? I'm having difficulty navigating this.
[01:33] <rbox> well i c ould do the same googling you did...
[01:34] <dionyziz> Maybe 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.
[01:35] <dionyziz> I also consulted this page, that claims this device is supported: http://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:148f-5370&page=1#status
[01:35] <dionyziz> (Including by my kernel version)
[01:37] <eelstrebor> i can't get arduino 2.x from synaptic to launch but an older version 1.8 will launch - anyone experience this? ubuntu 22.04
[01:41] <dionyziz> Looking 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] <dionyziz> In particular the options CONFIG_RT2800USB CONFIG_RT2X00 CONFIG_WLAN CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_RALINK.
[01:41] <dionyziz> Yet, searching for files containing "rt2800" in my /lib/modules/5.15.0-1016-raspi folder doesn't yield any results.
[01:58] <morgan-hp> Is there any problem with a laptop bluetooth? I have a speaker that works well with my android. I have it connected. It is a JBL speaker. BUT, the sound is still coming out of the laptop. 22.04 HP Probook.
[02:19] <bankai_> did you select the output ?
[02:27] <Oski146> is there any way to get a funcioning vpn on ubuntu? the most vpn services i know are cost intensive
[02:27] <rbox> lol
[02:50] <paul_> hello
[02:50] <paul_> how can I in one line find the number of characters on the 7th line of a text document?
[02:51] <rbox> cat file | head -n7 | tail -n1 | wc -c
[02:52] <bankai_> OR ... learn to do your own homework ...
[02:55] <paul_> thank you
[02:55] <paul_> what does the tail -n1 do?
[02:55] <rbox> man tail
[02:56] <paul_> thanks rbox I am still not sure I understand
[02:56] <rbox> run the first command, then run that piped into head, then run t hat pied in to tail
[02:56] <rbox> see what each pice does
[02:57] <paul_> https://bsd.to/coVA
[02:57] <paul_> ok thank you rbox will try that
[03:12] <paul_> I'm trying to count how many words have at least 10 characters but the problem is that there are special characters
[03:16] <paul_> egrep -wo '[[:alpha:]]{10,}' french
[03:16] <paul_> I used that line
[03:18] <blei> i want to sort a folder of images into two categories using a touchscreen
[03:30] <paul_> how can I find the number of words in a file with more than 10 characters?
[03:49] <paul_> are french characters counted as 1?
[04:09] <paul_> how can I count the number of words with 10 characters or more?
[04:09] <paul_> this is ridiculous is anyone here?
[04:37] <enigma9o7> If it were me, I'd only count french characters as 0.49
[04:37] <enigma9o7> and that's being generous
[07:58] <Bardon> Hello, which software can I use for house drawings like https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1e/f9/6b/1ef96b279437ab397cc773fed07d6aea.png?
[07:58] <Bardon> Or https://ws.pap.fr/cdnV1/5d6e31beeccc22b63174c395/5d6e31beeccc22b63174c395-1567503264-866x722.jpg
[08:47] <GSMarquis> sweet home 3d - used that one before
[09:10] <Bardon> It looks nice!
[09:10] <Bardon> Thanks
[10:29] <webchat74> hello! 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?
[10:30] <Jeremy31> webchat74: any RST setting?
[10:31] <webchat74> what is that?? how to check that?
[10:34] <ogra> webchat74, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-installation-on-computers-with-intel-r-rst-enabled/15347 (and there are a few other RST related threads on discourse)
[10:39] <webchat74> ogra, 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?
[11:50] <fizzled> network Connectivity check is an irritation how do i stop it 22.10
[11:53] <guiverc> fizzled, 22.10 hasn't been released yet, you could try #ubuntu-next, but only supported releases are supported here
[11:55] <fizzled> guiverc: thanks

[13:17] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:18] <jeronimo> hi BluesKaj
[13:19] <BluesKaj> hi jeronimo
[13:21] <jeronimo> I 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 hdmi
[13:21] <jeronimo> stereo works fine ofc
[13:22] <jeronimo> it's the last reason why I have dualboot
[13:22] <pickanick> Hi 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?
[13:23] <pickanick> And what is the recommended way to manage the internet connection from the resulting states?
[13:23] <crux73> jeronimo, 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.
[13:24] <crux73> Or test it with a live linux CD says at a vendor, they'd love it lol.
[13:29] <jeronimo> it get's recognized
[13:30] <jeronimo> yeah maybe I find a cheap alternative
[13:31] <jeronimo> crux73: here it says it's supported by alsa https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/Matrix:Vendor-Asus
[13:32] <BluesKaj> jeronimo, check pavucontrol settings if you have it installed, if not, install it
[13:36] <jeronimo> all looks perfect, just no sound
[13:38] <BluesKaj> i know alot of users despise pulseaudio, but atm it's a necessary evil til pipewire takes over.
[13:38] <jeronimo> maybe I can try a pipewire livecd
[13:38] <jeronimo> live usb*
[13:39] <jeronimo> thx, will try again later
[13:41] <jeronimo> I can hear my surround sound system working, when I plug it in. for some reason it doesn't come through
[13:42] <jeronimo> I use the same card in windows
[13:42] <jeronimo> works fine
[13:42] <BluesKaj> jeronimo, 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 agamer
[13:43] <jeronimo> yeah my receiver supports that
[13:43] <jeronimo> BluesKaj: anyways thanks
[13:43] <BluesKaj> ok
[14:36] <Teckla> Anyone 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.
[14:38] <Teckla> Frequently, when just going about my business, I get snapd notifications at the top of the screen, too...
[14:38] <Teckla> Something about giving me X days for something... never understood that.
[14:39] <Teckla> Ah, "X days remaining"--that's what it always says.
[14:40] <SteelRose> Teckla: if that happens again, close/quit the application and run "snap refresh"
[14:40] <SteelRose> then launch the affected application
[14:42] <Teckla> SteelRose: Hmmm... even if the only program I'm running is Chrome, which I don't think was installed as a snap?
[14:45] <lorn1975> hi
[14:46] <SteelRose> Teckla: no idea... I don't like snap
[14:47] <lorn1975> i have question i am trying to mount my server partition with sudo mount -t cifs -o username=pi /ipoftheserver/home/lorn1975/Downloads and i get mount: /mnt: special device //192.168.x.x/home/lorn1975/Downloads doesnt exist
[14:48] <Teckla> At this time I am not a super huge fan of Wayland or Snap yet, heh.
[14:49] <Teckla> Also a little annoyed at some of the extremely bizarre limitations of default Gnome, like the inability to set a solid color as the desktop background.
[14:49] <Teckla> Just...weird choices.
[14:50] <lorn1975> can anyone help me mount my server to the client partition
[14:51] <lotuspsychje> Teckla: perhaps dconf-editor can change your background colour
[14:54] <lorn1975> i have the the directory /home/lorn1975/Downloads but mount says the device 192.168.x.x/home/lorn1975/Downloads doesnt exist
[14:56] <lotuspsychje> Teckla: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/05/solid-color-background-ubuntu-22-04/
[14:57] <lorn1975> lotuspsychje
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> lorn1975: you could try the #ubuntu-server channel too if you like
[14:58] <lorn1975> ok
[14:58] <lorn1975> spanx
[14:58] <lorn1975> :)
[14:58] <lotuspsychje> lorn1975: see also !mount and !samba
[15:00] <Teckla> lotuspsychje: Yeah, fortunately, a solid background color *can* be set, which I did... it's just a shame it's so "hard"
[15:00] <Teckla> I think, eventually, many of these issues will be worked out :)
[15:01] <lotuspsychje> Teckla: feel free to add a wishlist !bug you are also part of this community
[15:11] <borked2022> EriC^, u around?
[15:13] <borked2022> is anybody familiar with ubuntu's default zfs data pool layout?
[15:14] <borked2022> any idea why I have a /boot/boot  with diffirent kernel versions?
[15:18] <EriC^> borked2022: hey
[15:18] <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 fwiw
[15:19] <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 empty
[15:19] <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 #linux
[15:20] <borked2022> EriC^, good idea
[16:12] <cry0xen> Is there anyone here who can help me pipewire configuration. i want to downmix my stereo to mono.
[16:13] <cry0xen> easyeffects temporary solves the problem but i am looking for something permanet
[16:13] <cry0xen> *permanent
[16:15] <Teckla> lotuspsychje: 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...
[16:16] <ogra> Teckla, just make a 1x1 px png and set it to tiling 😉
[16:17] <Teckla> I used dconf Editor :)
[16:17] <ogra> (and file a whishlist bug so the feature comes back)
[16:17] <ogra> ah, the feature is still there but hidden ? heh
[16:17] <ogra> gnome ...
[16:17] <Teckla> And ended up choosing #515C6B for the color
[18:26] <blei> i'm looking for a photo organizer that allows me to group photos into one of two categories very fast
[18:27] <blei> for example, i press 1 for class 1, 2 for class 2, and right arrow for next image
[18:28] <einstuins> Oh, that's good 👍
[18:29] <einstuins> I just used IRC and I'm still exploring
[19:29] <OnkelTem> Hi all. I'm on 22.04 and there's one bug that makes me really upset
[19:30] <OnkelTem> I get TLS initialization failed here and there
[19:31] <OnkelTem> For example, when I try to upload a Flameshot screenshot to imgur, I get: "TLS initialization failed"
[19:32] <OnkelTem> Did you ever happen to see this error?
[19:33] <tomreyn> OnkelTem: that's unusual. is your system fully updated?
[19:33] <tomreyn> which software is reporting this message?
[19:34] <tomreyn> is your system date correct? (run "date")
[19:36] <OnkelTem> tomreyn: yes, up to date, date is ok too
[19:37] <tomreyn> thanks for answering, so far, 2 of 3 questions.
[19:39] <enigma9o7> flameshot allows you to upload to imgur built in, dont need another application
[19:39] <ioria> OnkelTem, can you try the snap version ?  as a test
[19:43] <tomreyn> oh ok, i'm not familiar with this software (did not even know Flameshot was a software).
[19:44] <ioria> it's just a screenshot utility with an upload function
[19:45] <tomreyn> thanks ioria, i just looked it up.
[19:46] <tomreyn> i guess it will be using the qssl lib with an outdated TLS version, thus throwing this message
[19:46] <ioria> yep
[19:47] <ioria> or he has installed some external ssl packages or stuff
[19:48] <tomreyn> OnkelTem: how did you install flameshot, which version is it?
[19:49] <ioria> rude
[20:06] <brkroot> what are channels for a general IT questions could you recommend?  I feel like sometimes I should not ask most of the questions I am asking here.
[20:06] <matsaman> like what's an example question?
[20:07] <matsaman> probably #linux, #networking, #hardware
[20:08] <brkroot>  like ....apart from .io, what other domain extensions are considered in the IT field?
[20:08] <matsaman> oh, don't waste time on that nonsense
[20:08] <brkroot> opinion based questions, doesn't quite fit here.
[20:09] <matsaman> content is king. If you have a good product you can get giantcanteloupe.com and you'll be good
[20:09] <brkroot> exactly, but same applies to linux hardware and networking. Anyways, I will lokk around, just thought to ask here if someone can recommend
[20:10] <matsaman> brkroot: #websites is a tiny channel I know with a really good, well-informed crowd
[20:10] <brkroot> matsaman, sounds good, thanks :)

[20:52] <ryao> Does anyone know where I can find `linux-image-5.3.0-26-generic-dbgsym:amd64`? I need it to debug a kernel issue.
[20:52] <ryao> Only the i386 version is on the mirrors as far as I can tell.
[20:52] <EriC^^_> !find linux-image-5.3.0-26-generic-dbgsym
[20:53] <EriC^^_> !info linux-image-5.3.0-26-generic-dbgsym
[20:53] <ryao> It is Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS with the HWE kernel.
[20:54] <Guest67> y so old
[20:54] <ryao> Good question. I am not the one who choose it. I just was asked to fix it.
[20:54] <ryao> s/choose/chose/
[20:55] <ryao> Anyway, I cannot upgrade the system to something newer. It is not my call.
[21:20] <OnkelTem> tomreyn: I found the reason. It was a shitty tunneling app called ZScaler
[21:20] <leftyfb> Zscaler is a load-balancing service
[21:21] <OnkelTem> I have to use it because that's a requirement of our employer
[21:21] <leftyfb> OnkelTem: so you're going out on one ip/interface and responses are coming back in on another
[21:21] <OnkelTem> What'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 errors
[21:22] <OnkelTem> leftyfb: from what I see in its UI, it provides authorized access to some company services and also provides VPN (which is disabled)
[21:22] <giu-> hi to all
[21:23] <OnkelTem> I would like to install it in a VM and somehow route my work traffic there...
[21:27] <laerling> OnkelTem: Maybe a container would already suffice
[21:28] <OnkelTem> laerling: wow, thanks for the idea! hah, didn't think about it.
[21:29] <laerling> Depending on which networking daemon you're using there's surely a way to configure it to set the default route to that container
[21:29] <OnkelTem> laerling: it uses UI, I'm not sure can I containerize that
[21:30] <OnkelTem> if I can*
[21:30] <OnkelTem> e.g. to get it working I click "Authenticate" button in its UI
[21:32] <laerling> There are tutorials for containerizing GUI applications. Should be possible with both Xorg and Wayland
[21:32] <laerling> (I myself have never done it. Always wanted to containerize my Discord client though)
[21:33] <OnkelTem> laerling: why? Discord
[21:42] <paul_> ok I did a man on tar
[21:42] <paul_> but it didn't explain to me what tar -x was
[21:43] <paul_> it explained the others like -p is for preserve file permissions, and -f is for something else
[21:43] <paul_> but -x was not explained
[21:44] <paul_> info tar didn't help
[21:45] <leftyfb> paul_: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man1/tar.1.html#:~:text=%2Dx%2C%20%2D%2Dextract%2C%20%2D%2Dget
[21:47] <paul_> thank you leftyfb
[21:47] <leftyfb> paul_: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[21:47] <paul_> 22.04
[21:47] <paul_> LTS
[21:47] <leftyfb> paul_: then I don't understand how you say -x isn't specified in the man page. It is
[21:51] <paul_> interesting
[21:51] <paul_> I found it there I don't understand -f
[21:52] <laerling> OnkelTem: I think my reasoning was that other programs can easily grab Discords login token. Not sure whether something changed in that regard.
[21:53] <giu-> someone know about a Firefox crash error?
[22:10] <paul_> find Documents/ -name "*.err" -fprintf log/err.log -or -name "*.out" -fprintf log/out.log
[22:10] <paul_> how do I do this?
[22:10] <paul_> I want to find the files in document that end with .err or .out if they end in .out then I want them to write the name of the file into log/out.log if they end in .err then log/err.log
[22:12] <paul_> it's very hard to learn from the manual
[22:12] <paul_> find Documents/ -name "*.err" > log/err.log -or -name "*.out" > log/out.log
[22:12] <paul_> this is what I did from learning from the web
[22:33] <dpbv> hi
[23:22] <howudodat> can 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 works
[23:34] <sarnold> howudodat: hmm, init scripts should *not* be touching user files
[23:34] <sarnold> howudodat: .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 do
[23:36] <bougyman> I used to be able to say .xprofile, but with the advent of wayland I don't know if that's honored any longer.
[23:37] <howudodat> I dont think xrdp uses wayland.  and I would have guessed that ~/.profile is where you want to touch user files for customization
[23:37] <sarnold> what's .xprofile?
[23:38] <howudodat> I just think it's too late in the chain of files and that maybe .xsession is getting called first, not sure
[23:38] <sarnold> well interesting, gdm3 had something for it .. https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5C.xprofile&literal=0
[23:40] <ogra> sarnold, just another name for .xinitrc
[23:40] <ogra> (same format)
[23:49] <RingtailedFox> i'm having a strange issue with MariaDB on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS... https://pastebin.com/HvWCBhUF
[23:49] <RingtailedFox> it won't start, no matter what i do
[23:54] <sarnold> RingtailedFox: there's probably mariadb logs in /var/log/ somewhere with more information from the daemon about why it exited with a failure
[23:55] <RingtailedFox> i see /var/log/mysql but no mariadb folder
[23:55] <howudodat> tail /var/log/mysql/error.log
[23:55] <RingtailedFox> InnoDB errors o.o
[23:56] <RingtailedFox> https://pastebin.com/YYeYeteq
[23:56] <RingtailedFox> yeeteq... i love it :P
[23:57] <sarnold> oo that looks unhappy
[23:57] <howudodat> delete ib_logfile0 and ib-logfile1 in /var/lib/mysql folder and restart
[23:57] <sarnold> check dmesg? maybe there's block device failure messages
[23:58] <sarnold> maybe also check debsums -ca output, maybe some of the software's corrupted..
[23:58] <RingtailedFox> those are owned by user mysql so hi-ho sudo, awayyyyy
[23:58] <RingtailedFox> yeah it crashed earlier while i was trying to configure it and set the root password, and now it's all screwed up
[23:59] <RingtailedFox> okay that's deleted
[23:59] <RingtailedFox> now to try re-installing it
[23:59] <howudodat> it's also possible that ibdata1 is corrupt, but I wouldn't delete that
