[00:04] <brkcore> can someone tell me what is happening here https://pastebin.com/Msn8028a
[00:08] <arraybolt3> brkcore: Looks like you're connecting a Bluetooth device to me, though I'm not sure. What are you trying to do, and what was the expected result?
[00:09] <brkcore> connecting bluetooth device that has the first MAC. I don't know why is it checking other devices
[00:09] <brkcore> seems strange to me
[00:10] <brkcore> also some of the mac addresses are not recognised by me. They may be in range, or been in range
[00:10] <siesta> hello guya
[00:10] <siesta> hello guys
[00:10] <siesta> i need to display line drawing ascii
[00:11] <siesta> in my xterm
[00:11] <brkcore> only one of the three mac addresses actually I don't know it
[00:11] <arraybolt3> brkcore: Ah. I believe that's normal, kind of like how your system constantly scans for WiFi devices. Only your system only scans for Bluetooth devices when you tell it to, but when you're connecting it's probably in scan mode.
[00:12] <siesta> howi want to use cp437
[00:12] <brkcore> I see, arraybolt3, that's new. Before that i was just connecting to the device
[00:12] <siesta> i want to use cp437
[00:12] <arraybolt3> brkcore: You probably have more devices around than just the one you were connecting to now.
[00:13] <arraybolt3> Or perhaps you somehow were just connecting before without going into discoverable mode (or whatever it's called).
[00:14] <brkcore> strange
[01:25] <plt2022> Where can I can downloasd ubuntu net install please?
[01:26] <oerheks> netinstall is gone, use ubuntu server now?
[01:27] <oerheks> see the message at https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/jammy/
[01:29] <plt2022> There is no iso files http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/bionic/
[01:30] <oerheks> yes, it is gone
[01:30] <plt2022> mini.iso
[01:31] <plt2022> Is the mini.iso is that the net installer?
[01:32] <oerheks> i see no mini.iso?
[01:33] <plt2022> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/
[01:36] <oerheks> not sure that is a good one, maybe it gives unity not gnome
[01:36] <oerheks> and why such old 18.04, less than a half year support left
[01:47] <plt2022> The mini does not work, what other images can I use herehttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/?
[01:48] <oerheks> not.
[01:48] <oerheks> try the debian image, like you do in #debian?
[01:48] <oerheks> i started with the server is the way to go, now. but ignore that..
[01:49] <plt2022> I am having issues with debian
[01:49] <oerheks> they will fix that.
[01:50] <plt2022> I have asked then like 3 years ago tie them to their chair and do not let go until they fix it
[02:06] <Hakate> What is that first 'd' in this -   drwxrwxrwt.   9 root root 4096 10-25 19:19 tmp
[02:08] <oerheks> directory
[02:43] <rbox> oerheks: you're a directory
[02:45] <arraybolt3> rbox: you're in the wrong channel
[02:46] <rbox> arraybolt3: maybe you are...
[02:47] <arraybolt3> rbox: I meant it kind of like a joke, but I am serious. While #linux is a hotspot for lots of funny activity and the like, #ubuntu is to be used strictly for tech support scenarios, and any offtopic chat is generally highly discouraged.
[02:59] <luizfrds> can i pass an env variable to my application trought cli?
[02:59] <luizfrds> in one line? for debug purposes
[02:59] <arraybolt3> luizfrds: If I'm understanding you correctly, yeah, quite easily. "ENV_VAR_NAME=value appName arg1 arg2..."
[02:59] <luizfrds> okay
 can i do the same thing but with a file?
[03:00] <luizfrds> where the varialbes are declared in a file?
[03:00] <arraybolt3> luizfrds: Not sure.
[03:00] <arraybolt3> luizfrds: You might make a Bash script that sets up all the variable values and calls your app for you.
[03:01] <arraybolt3> Then you would just do "./script", where "script" would contain "ENV_1=value1 ENV_2=value2 appName arg1 arg2" or the like.
[03:01] <arraybolt3> You would need to make the script executable with "chmod +x ./script", and also don't forget to put a Bash shebang at the start (#!/bin/bash).
[03:09] <luizfrds> it arraybolt3, i'm pretty sure it is possible... not sure where i read that
[03:10] <matsaman> what is?
[03:10] <arraybolt3> matsaman: Being able to place environment variables in a file so that when you execute a particular app, it uses that particular set of environment variables.
[03:13] <matsaman> arraybolt3: as opposed to another set, you mean?
[03:13] <matsaman> a lot of people would use a wrapper
[03:13] <matsaman> and I think I'd be among them
[03:13] <arraybolt3> matsaman: As opposed to the environment variables that are naturally in the current shell or have been set by the user.
[03:13] <arraybolt3> So yeah, I guess.
[03:13] <RingtailedFox> how would i apply this patch to my OS? https://randombytes.substack.com/p/apparmor-on-wsl-2
[03:13] <RingtailedFox> i'm running Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
[03:14] <matsaman> RingtailedFox: under WSL?
[03:14] <RingtailedFox> yes
[03:15] <luizfrds> thanks folks... i think i will go with the first solution... it is sub optimal for my case, but will do
[03:15] <matsaman> RingtailedFox: instructions for Debian are fairly likely to be identical for Ubuntu
[03:15] <matsaman> luizfrds: whatcha doin'?
[03:15] <RingtailedFox> i know... i'm asking how do i apply the patch...
[03:15] <matsaman> arraybolt3: what I do a lot is make like, a ~/.bin/ dir, and pop it into my path
[03:16] <RingtailedFox> do i save that as a text file, then type something like patch patchfile.txt patchfiledestination ?
[03:16] <matsaman> arraybolt3: and if I want 'firefox' to run ... anything I want, I put a 'firefox' in there, and if you want you can even call the original firefox, but with any params you want
[03:16] <luizfrds> matsaman, i'm automating a very specific test
[03:16] <matsaman> RingtailedFox: click 'view raw' at bottom right
[03:17] <RingtailedFox> yeah. i got that up
[03:17] <RingtailedFox> just shows a pure text file of it, which is fine
[03:17] <matsaman> RingtailedFox: you can learn how to use patch if you want, it's worth learning
[03:17] <matsaman> RingtailedFox: but the minuses are lines removed, and the pluses lines added, so you can just modify it by hand if you want
[03:17] <matsaman> y'know, unless it has to be done dynamically
[03:17] <matsaman> "Apply to /lib/apparmor/rc.apparmor.functions:
[03:17] <matsaman> " so probably by hand is fine
[03:18] <matsaman> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_(Unix)#Usage_examples
[03:20] <RingtailedFox> ooh, so, diff apparmor_wsl.patch rc.apparmor.functions ?  that should be simple enough
[03:20] <RingtailedFox> copied the old one over as rc.apparpmor.functions.good just in case it screws up
[03:21] <matsaman> excellent practice =)
[03:21] <RingtailedFox> or would it be sudo patch < apparmor_wsl.patch?
[03:21] <RingtailedFox> patching file rc.apparmor.functions
[03:21] <RingtailedFox> Hunk #1 succeeded at 65 (offset -3 lines).
[03:21] <RingtailedFox> patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
[03:21] <RingtailedFox> Hunk #2 FAILED at 91.
[03:21] <RingtailedFox> 1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file rc.apparmor.functions.rej
[03:21] <RingtailedFox> that's not good
[03:22] <matsaman> this patch is so, so tiny, I would just do it by hand
[03:22] <matsaman> especially since it's fairly old and the file may have changed
[04:16] <irrgit> Preparing to unpack .../parted_3.5-2_amd64.deb ...
[04:16] <irrgit> dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: file '/usr/share/doc/parted/changelog.Debian.gz' not owned by package 'parted:amd64'

[04:16] <irrgit>  
[04:16] <irrgit> Sorry for that.
[04:16] <irrgit> So I dont know how to fix this issue, upgraded from 22.04 to 22.10
[04:17] <irrgit> Got that error when trying to fix the installation and running -> sudo apt-get  -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes install parted
[04:17] <irrgit>  
[05:12] <dabbler> I installed an app that has registered itself as being able to open literally every mimetype on my system. But its .desktop file specifies only one mimetype, the appropriate one. My Q: where on my system would I find the '*' mimetype registration, or whatever's causing the ridiculousness?
[05:17] <mybalzitch> ooh, is it gimp?
[05:17] <dabbler> mybalzitch: no, it's keepassxc
[05:20] <alkisg> dabbler: which version of keepassxc? I don't see anything weird in the 22.04 version, keepassxc-2.6.6+dfsg.1
[05:22] <dabbler> alkisg: that's the one I'm using
[05:23] <alkisg> https://termbin.com/5k0t ==> nothing weird there...
[05:23] <dabbler> Maybe I accidentally did something when opening a file with it from gnome-files?
[05:24] <alkisg> Could be; I'm not using GNOME so I don't know what gnome files does though
[05:24] <dabbler> Well I'm in plasma now and it shows it as being associated with everything
[05:24] <dabbler> I don't know where it might get that
[05:25] <alkisg> One thing you could quickly test is if it's a per-user setting (under /home/username) or per-system; i.e. try with another user account
[05:26] <alkisg> If it's per-user, then you shouldn't be looking at packages etc but at your own configuration under /home/username
[05:34] <dabbler> alkisg: good idea. It's specific to my user. The Q is where in my files?
[05:35] <alkisg> grep -r x-keepass2 ~/.[!.]*
[05:35] <alkisg> :)
[05:41] <makara1> why cant i configure my dock on Kudu? Under setting > appearances > there is only style and background. Nothing about dock?
[05:44] <makara1> in fact if I search the setting for "dock" nothing comes up
[05:58] <ick> how to stop the snap nag popup, (or adjust its frequency)  for updating the just-updated firefox 106.0-1 to 106.0.1-1 which IIRC merely fixes a bug on a CPU I do not use?
[06:01] <makara1> ick: disable notifications for firefox too drastic?
[06:03] <ick> makara1 : No, I had assumed the notification was from snap not firefox
[06:04] <ick> What's a notification badge? (Kubuntu System Settings : Notifications : Apps : Firefox Web browser.)
[06:06] <ick> I have a choice of disabling popups, or notification badges.  I disabled popups, will see what happens... Thanks makara1 !
[06:23] <makara1> pickanick: i see also in setting > notifications > applications a "Snapd User Session Agent"
[06:35] <mcammeo> hi
[06:35] <mcammeo> balls?
[06:36] <makara1> sure
[06:37] <mcammeo> tnx
[06:37] <mcammeo> what is this_
[06:37] <mcammeo> ?
[06:38] <makara1> Official Ubuntu Support Channel
[06:38] <arraybolt3[m]> mcammeo: If you're asking about what this channel is, this is the official tech support channel for the Ubuntu operating system. If you're asking what Ubuntu is, it's a Linux-based operating system designed for PCs and servers, competing with Windows and macOS.
[06:38] <mcammeo> ah ok
[07:09] <hams> there is an option to flip ports in linux. i dont exactly know what the process is called. i have an app that runs on port 8758 and i want it to show on port 80 or any request. how can i do this?
[07:12] <alkisg> https://iwearshorts.com/blog/redirect-port-80-to-8080-using-iptables/
[07:12] <alkisg> Replace the ports as necessary
[07:24] <hams> alkisg, that worked. ty
[07:24] <alkisg> 👍️
[07:33] <Apachez> just wow
[07:33] <Apachez> The following packages have been kept back:
[07:33] <Apachez>   libipa-hbac0 libnss-sss libpam-sss libsss-certmap0 libsss-idmap0 libsss-nss-idmap0 libvirt-clients libvirt0 python3-sss snapd sssd sssd-ad sssd-ad-common sssd-common sssd-ipa
[07:33] <Apachez>   sssd-krb5 sssd-krb5-common sssd-ldap sssd-proxy xserver-common xserver-xephyr xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-legacy xvfb
[07:33] <ravage> !phasedupdates | Apachez
[07:34] <alkisg> Sometime someone will come with an actual "apt kept back" issue and we'll wrongly point them to phasedupdates! They should have a better message for that! :D
[07:35] <ravage> +1
[07:38] <biapy> Hi, i'm using Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish, and when using apt upgrade, i often have kept packages. Can any one help me preventing these packages from being kept ?
[07:39] <ravage> !phasedupdates | biapy
[07:39] <hams> interesting, i also have some kept packages.
[07:39] <biapy> ravage: thank, i've just seen the lines above :)
[07:41] <biapy> .... Ubuntu is able to add Ubuntu pro ads to apt, but not a warning about kept packages and phased updates... wonderfull.
[07:42] <ravage> !discuss | biapy
[07:50] <biapy> ravage: question: in the link you provided, it is recommended to add "APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates;" line to configuration, but to make it work, i needed to change it to 'APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates "1";'  where can i report this ?
[07:51] <ravage> probably arraybolt3[m]
[07:55] <biapy> ravage: ok thank you
[07:56] <ravage> or apply for editing. i just did that. in case i get approval i will fix it :)
[07:57] <biapy> thank you for your help
[08:05] <mort> how do you enable amd64 multiarch on arm64 ubuntu? I presumably have to use the normal amd64 apt sources for ubuntu and the ports.ubuntu.com apt sources for arm64 but after dpkg --add-architecture amd64 it seems like apt expects to be able to find amd64 packages on ports.ubuntu.com
[08:07] <mort> ah I should probably add [arch=arm64] on all the ports.ubuntu.com sources and add new ones with [arch=amd64]
[08:09] <tangarora> test
[08:11] <tangarora> Hi... is there a step by step guide to install ubuntu desktop as a vdi in qemu-kvm automatically? I had all this working great with preseed, but now they removed this possibility.
[08:12] <tangarora> The cloud config only appears to work with cloud images... I want to be able to build an ubuntu VDI using only scripts that do the work.
[09:04] <fauxpride> What is the frequency updates are replicated to local mirrors? There's been the case with several versions of Ubuntu now, where the local mirror that's set by default doesn't find any updates, but switching to the Main server does.
[09:11] <pickanick>  makara1 : I do not see such a thing. Does it show up if you type "Snapd" in the search bar under  setting > notifications > applications ?  When I type "Sn" or "sn" already there are no matches.  Are you on KDE?
[09:12] <makara1> pickanick: im on gnome3, but there's been so much stuff on here over the years I dont trust
[09:12] <makara1> i cant search for notification applications
[09:17] <pickanick> weird. Sometimes I get the feeling that our systems are being held together with the software equivalent of layers of duct tape.
[09:18] <mjt0k> well, a duct tape is quite strong... ;)
[09:43] <ogra> to manage the frequency of snap update cecks (and thus the notifications) you can set an update schedule ... like described on https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date
[10:46] <pickanick> disabling firefox popup notifications does not disable firefox popup snap update notifications.
[10:47] <ravage> that is correct
[10:48] <mjt0k> is ubuntu moving from deb towards snap packages?
[10:48] <mjt0k> (for non-"base" system anyway)
[10:48] <ravage> it did for some applications
[10:51] <ogra> no, snap packages rquire deb packags for building
[10:52] <ogra> so while you might see selected apps move to snap-only, the deb archive will definitely never go away
[10:58] <mjt0k> so, is it like, snap is parallel to deb, and does not exist without deb? :)
[10:58] <ravage> snapd is a deb package
[10:59] <mjt0k> I mean snap packages are parallel to deb packages and does not exist without deb packages
[10:59] <mjt0k> was just too lazy to type "packages" :)
[11:00] <ogra> ravage, well, on ubuntu the snapd deb is only used to install the snapd snap package 🙂 (but on other distros the deb is actually providing the snapd binary)
[11:00] <Assid> heya
[11:01] <Assid> so i just loaded up ubuntu-server in a vm.. and there seems to be a bug..  in sshd_config Port is just being ignored
[11:01] <ogra> mjt0k, they *can* existi withut deb packages ... i.e. you can pack snap packages in "Arch" style by building everything from scratch ... but thats a hell lot of work
[11:01] <ogra> *exist without
[11:01] <ravage> ogra, my point was that you need some kind of base system to start snaps on. maybe be minimal of course
[11:02] <ogra> Assid, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/sshd-now-uses-socket-based-activation-ubuntu-22-10-and-later/30189
[11:02] <ravage> *may be
[11:02] <ogra> yeah, that is true
[11:02] <ogra> the cre[18,20.22] snaps are created from deb packages from the ubuntu archive
[11:02] <ogra> *core
[11:11] <Assid> according to the post.. i should be looking at /etc/systemd/system/ssh.socket.d/addresses.conf .. however this file does not exist
[11:11] <Assid> even the directory does not exist
[11:11] <mjt0k> it isn't supposed to exist
[11:13] <mjt0k> "On *upgrades* from Ubuntu *22.04* LTS, users who had *configured* Port settings or a ListenAddress, will find these in.."
[11:13] <ogra> Assid, just follow /usr/share/doc/openssh-server/README.Debian.gz (it tells you to create the dir)
[11:13] <ogra> right, upgading will migrate you if you had changed the port before ... fresh installs will not
[11:14] <ravage> do we even talk about 22.10?
[11:15] <ogra> good question ... i was just blindly assuming 🙂
[11:15] <mjt0k> why sshd moved to socket activation in the first place? and why it is a recommended way?
[11:15] <ogra> save resources ...
[11:16] <ogra> you only need it running when connecting
[11:16] <mjt0k> for sshd? :)
[11:16] <ogra> seemingly 🙂
[11:16] <mjt0k> it uses veery few resources really..
[11:16] <ravage> that is more an IOT problem. nothing that will speed up your desktop of course
[11:17] <mjt0k> IOT?
[11:17] <ogra> " This has been done to reduce the memory consumed by Ubuntu Server instances by default, which is of particular interest with Ubuntu running in VMs or LXD containers: by not running sshd when it is not used, we save at least 3MiB of memory in each instance, representing a savings of roughly 5% on an idle, pristine kinetic container."
[11:17] <Assid> what about disabling passwordauthentication ..  i
[11:17] <ogra> rather cloud ... according to the text from the forum
[11:17] <ravage> any situation where 3MB make a difference
[11:18] <mjt0k> heh. I do run many debian server containers.. never thought about sshd memory footprint :)
[11:18] <mjt0k> but I see
[11:18] <ogra> in IoT it s helpful because in the majority of instals such systems are user-less ... so having ssh at all is pointless
[11:18] <Assid> i  set PasswordAuthentication no and enabled pubkey  .. but im still seeing it allow passwords
[11:18] <mjt0k> what's IoT?
[11:19] <ogra> Assid, and you edited the correct file (sshd_config, not ssh_config (the latter is for clients))
[11:19] <Assid> yep
[11:19] <ravage> and you restarted the service and got no error?
[11:19] <mjt0k> it is not only passwordauthentication, there are other settings which must be disabled
[11:19] <ogra> mjt0k, the "Internet of Things" ... i.e. industrial gateways collecting sensor data etc etc
[11:20] <mjt0k> run ssh -v as client to see which methods it offers
[11:21] <Assid> debug1: Next authentication method: password
[11:21] <mjt0k> basically, regular passwords wont be accepted after setting PasswordAuthentication=false; but ssh client will try to prompt anyway. You need to disable Keyboard-Interactive or something like that
[11:21] <mjt0k> I don't remember the exact setting
[11:22] <mjt0k> with just PasswordAuthentication=false, sshd pretends it accepts passwords, but in fact does not accept them
[11:23] <mjt0k> in the past, during some brute-force attacks, I've seen clients trying to reconnect numerous times when I disabled password *offers* entirely
[11:34] <pickanick> ogra : https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date says to use  $ snap refresh --hold=24h firefox  # On my system this gets "error: unknown flag `hold'"
[11:36] <pickanick> Oh that is experimental
[11:37] <ogra> pickanick, yeah, i rather meant to set your snap refresh check to once a week with adding a schedule or some such
[11:39] <ogra> you can use `snap refresh.hold= ...`   that is not experimental
[11:41] <pickanick> error: unknown command "refresh.hold=72h", see 'snap help'.
[11:41] <pickanick> However I was able to   snap set system refresh.timer=wed,sat   and the changes seem to have been applied.
[11:41] <pickanick> ogra thank you.
[11:42] <Assid> mjt0k: nope.. it lets me in using passwords.. this is in sshd_config
[11:42] <ogra> yeah, 72h is not a proper format ... see the do
[11:42] <ogra> *doc
[11:42] <Assid> is there another config file for this now
[11:43] <ogra> from the doc: "Use refresh.hold to delay snap refreshes until a defined time and date (up to 90 days). The time and date format needs to conform to RFC 3339."
[11:44] <ogra> Assid, and you are 100% sure you retsrated sshd ?
[11:44] <ogra> *restarted
[11:44] <Assid> yes
[11:44] <Assid> i can see the changes with the port .. but not that
[11:46] <ogra> do you have "ChallengeResponseAuthentication no" set ?
[11:47] <ogra> Assid, here is an sshd config i use that only allows key auth: https://termbin.com/kjiq
[11:56] <Assid> no i dont have that config
[11:56] <Assid> parameter
[11:56] <Assid> ii will soon need it though.. once i setup yubikey otp
[11:59] <ogra> well, try backing up your current config and test mine ... it should work
[12:26] <Assid> nope didnt work
[12:26] <Assid> systemctl restart ssh   <-- or is there another one
[12:26] <Assid> i even tried ssh.socket
[12:35] <Assid> ogra: didnt work
[12:37] <ogra> well, it does for all my devices and is also the default config shipped in UbuntuCore systems (which deny passwd login by default)
[12:42] <Assid> yeah all my other vm's and servers work fine .. this is my first fresh 22.10 install
[12:43] <Assid> most of my boxes have pubkey + password/yubikey otp
[12:43] <ogra> perhaps someone in #ubuntu-server knows more
[12:43] <ogra> try asking over there
[12:47] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:49] <ubergeek> Assid: sshd is the service name, I believe
[13:33] <gebbione> hi folks, somehow my lovely nvidia setup sometimes shows a line in one of the two screens, not all the times. When i then click on the status bar of the application of the screen the line goes behind the application (browser, file manager etc) or at least it is not visible. Anyone experienced similar things?
[13:34] <Assid> found it.. finally
[13:36] <bynarie> gebbione, screenshot?
[13:42] <gebbione> bynarie, https://paste.pics/c8a0d2f854158de19acd00eb2d09600c
[14:07] <jhutchins> gebbione: Bad video RAM.
[14:08] <jhutchins> gebbione: Is it always the same monitor that shows the line?
[14:09] <gebbione> yes
[14:09] <gebbione> always the same one
[14:09] <gebbione> but the line goes off after i focus the window
[14:10] <gebbione> so I am not sure how that would translate into a hardware problem. Is there a way I can actually prove it?
[14:27] <jhutchins> gebbione: You could try a different cable.  There are probably video hardware tests/benchmarks that might diagnose it.
[14:27] <jhutchins> Is it always the desktop walpaper that shows the line?
[15:28] <mohammadreza> hi
[16:14] <Guest420> Guys I have a new install of ubuntu latest stable version (minimum install), made yesterday. I have 2 monitors, and they work fine, but after using the PC for some time, out of nowhere, both of them will turn off and nothing I do will turn them on again, except for rebooting. Audio and all keeps working. In Power options it's set to Never turn off.
[16:14] <Guest420> Any ideas? I"m a beginner with linux/ubuntu.
[16:16] <jhutchins> Guest420: Check your BIOS  settings (EFI).
[16:16] <jhutchins> !sensors
[16:16] <jhutchins> Guest420: It could also be a thermal issue.
[16:17] <Guest420> I see. I'll check temp, but don't think that's it because previous install was working flawlessly.
[16:17] <Guest420> What exactly should I check in BIOS? (I didn't touch it, except for usb drive boot order)
[16:18] <jhutchins> Guest420: Pretty much every BIOS is different.  You'll just have to look and see what options are available.
[16:18] <jhutchins> Guest420: As far as thermal/hardware issues go, "it worked fine yesterday" is exactly how they happen.
[16:18] <Guest420> Alright. Thanks a lot guys. Wish me luck :)
[16:37] <gebbione> jhutchins, no it is not the wallpaper. It just sits on top of anything and sometimes shows (but not always) on top of any application when i focus out the second screen
[16:37] <arraybolt3> biapy: Hmm, I was lead to believe otherwise by a Stack Exchange post I got my info from, but if that didn't work, I can easily add that. Thanks for your help!
[16:37] <arraybolt3> (with regard to needing to use a "1" to disable update phasing)
[16:38] <gebbione> maybe i ll try a different cable but if it was the cable i would assume the line was going to be there permanently
[17:25] <Gallomimia> snap store notifier tells me to update discord. #snap refresh discord has no update available. launch discord... self update in place. it's going in the wrong direction gents
[17:29] <toddc> Gallomimia: did you refresh the snap store?
[17:29] <mjt0k> should'd snap store notifier do this?
[17:29] <mjt0k> I mean, shouldn't it notify *after* refresh?
[17:30] <toddc> no notifier does not refresh
[17:44] <AlexNic> Hello everyone, I have a ubuntu 20.04 installed and whenever I try to do apt update/upgrade I always get Error 24 : Write error : cannot write compressed block. I'm a bit lost on how to debug this
[17:44] <AlexNic> Curently on this kernel:Linux ubuntu 5.15.0-52-generic #58~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13 13:09:46 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:44] <lotuspsychje> AlexNic: could you pastebin us the full apt logs please?
[17:45] <AlexNic> lotuspsychje, gladly, give me a few seconds please
[17:46] <AlexNic> lotuspsychje, https://pastebin.com/1cuZQB2L
[17:48] <AlexNic> the /boot is out of space btw, but I cannot remove any old kernel image
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> AlexNic: try a sudp apt autoremove
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> *sudo
[17:48] <AlexNic> I tried, same error
[17:49] <AlexNic> I can run and paste again
[17:49] <AlexNic> https://pastebin.com/L7iJuPe6
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> AlexNic: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1207958/error-24-write-error-cannot-write-compressed-block
[17:50] <AlexNic> I also want to mention I have windows installed in dual-boot and the linux partition is encrypted
[17:54] <Gallomimia> toddc, yes i asked it to refresh itself, discord, and firefox... the three largest offenders for fake-news regarding snap updates
[18:06] <AlexNic> lotuspsychje, I ran the script I tried to remove like many records and at the end ended up with the exact same error
[18:06] <lotuspsychje> AlexNic: can you still install packages?
[18:06] <AlexNic> lotuspsychje, I tried vim and it failed, I can try something else, why
[18:07] <lotuspsychje> AlexNic: like stacer or bleachbit could help you delete stuff
[18:07] <AlexNic> let's try, what's the package name
[18:07] <AlexNic> ah snap works for sure
[18:07] <lotuspsychje> the above packagenames are both valid
[18:08] <AlexNic> ends up executing update-initramfs at the end and fails with the same error
[18:08] <lotuspsychje> right
[18:08] <tangarora> Hi... is there a step by step guide to install ubuntu desktop as a vdi in qemu-kvm automatically? I had all this working great with preseed, but now they removed this possibility.
[18:09] <AlexNic> well kinda stuck then I guess
[18:16] <AlexNic> Anyone have any other ideas?
[18:55] <alkisg> AlexNic: your paste was removed, so no idea, maybe you can write a summary of the problem for those coming now
[18:56] <ravage> he was removed too :)
[18:56] <alkisg> Ah, dat matrix... :/
[19:12] <ens> i found out why apparmor was mysteriously getting periodically removed via apt-get on my system
[19:12] <ens> as it turns out the I.T. people had the laptop being managed by puppet
[19:13] <ens> so i disabled puppet and now it doesn't uninstall apparmor. woohoo.
[19:14] <oerheks> good find, ens
[20:16] <moha> Hi; I have a VM (on ESXi) with Ubuntu installed; The second interface in Ubuntu takes Apipa:
[20:16] <moha> ens192           UP             169.254.158.255/16 metric 2048
[20:17] <moha> I removed, then installed the interface, but it gets the same apipa IP again!
[20:17] <moha> I removed that Ip with `ip a d <IP> dev ens192`, but after a reboot, it gets the apipa again!
[20:18] <moha> How can I get rid of the apipa IP?
[20:22] <moha> and, what's the "metric 2048" in the output of `ip -c -br a`?
[20:22] <moha> ens160           UP             172.17.238.45/24 metric 100
[20:22] <moha> ens192           UP             169.254.90.187/16 metric 2048
[20:58] <bingoJACKPOT> Is anyone here using Ubuntu Pro and if so can someone confirm that the security updates have a longer life than the standard releases? I think the language clearly says yes ... I'm thinking I will get 4-5 years of hardware maintenance then, in addition, NIST security updates...
[21:02] <eb_> moha: metric is like the priority of the interface
[21:03] <eb_> Is the ens192 supposed to get its IP info from DHCP? Can it reach the DHCP server? If it's static, can it reach its gateway and does it have the right gateway and subnet mask assigned?
[21:28] <tangarora> so is it possible at all to auto install ubuntu desktop anymore?
[21:35] <jhutchins> Yes, there are still tools like kickstart and preseed.  The automation management tools like puppet and ansible and chef will do a desktop install.
[21:35] <jhutchins> tangarora: What are you actually trying to do?
[21:39] <tomreyn> tangarora: does "autoinstall" not work for you?
[21:39] <tomreyn> see the "simple desktop" at https://www.molnar-peter.hu/en/ubuntu-jammy-netinstall-pxe.html
[21:39] <tangarora> I used to use the network insstall to make a VDI in KVM of Ubuntu. I used preseed files and it worked great.
[21:40] <tangarora> Now i am trying to do the same with the full DVD download.
[21:40] <tomreyn> maybe cloud images is what you want
[21:41] <tangarora> I was super simple: 		--initrd-inject="$PRESEED_FILE" --extra-args "ks=file:/$(basename $PRESEED_FILE)"
[21:41] <tangarora> only the cloud images are only server that I can find...
[21:42] <jhutchins> !server
[21:42] <tangarora> It must be possible because I saw gnome-boxes insert username and password in to the setup in their express intall...
[21:43] <jhutchins> I hope that factoid is merely out-of-date.
[21:43] <tangarora> Yes i know what a server is...
[21:43] <tangarora> I can install a server automatically...
[21:43] <tangarora> just not a desktop for the VDUI usecase...
[21:43] <tangarora> VDI
[21:44] <tomreyn> maybe i misunderstood. the mention of kvm made me think you may be looking for running virtual machines in a private cloud environment - which cloud images could be useful for: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/cloud-images/introduction and https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/
[21:44] <tangarora> I am fine with using cloud images if that is the way to go.
[21:45] <tangarora> and yes... I want to run VDI's in a KVMm environment
[21:45] <tomreyn> for bare metal desktops, i'd go with autoinstall instead
[21:45] <tangarora> I would like both usecases actually: KVM + thumb drive install..
[21:46] <tangarora> I hae all of this for SUSE, Debian, and older Ubuntu... Windows even...
[21:46] <jhutchins> I'm having trouble finding an actual question in there.
[21:46] <tomreyn> well, just read up a bit on the two options and you'll make a good choice
[21:46] <tangarora> OK: how to automate the install of the desktop Ubuntu media?
 tangarora: does "autoinstall" not work for you?
[21:48] <tangarora> you mean the YAML file?
[21:48] <tangarora> that is referenced in the server section?
[21:48] <tangarora> Of the documentation?
[21:49] <tomreyn> right, you'd need a yaml file.
[21:55] <tangarora> OK just tried it... the file got ignored.
[21:55] <tangarora> --location="/var/lib/libvirt/boot/ubuntu-desktop-latest.iso,kernel=casper/vmlinuz,initrd=casper/initrd" \
[21:55] <tangarora> --extra-args="kernel=casper/vmlinuz,initrd=casper/initrd,ks=file:///preseed.yml" \
[21:56] <tangarora> --initrd-inject="/home/tangarora/preseed.yml" \
[21:56] <tangarora> Those are the relevant lines...
[22:01] <schuelermine[m]> Does anybody know how Ubuntu themes libadwaita apps?
[22:01] <schuelermine[m]> I’ve checked and they don’t use the $GTK_THEME variable
