| centHOGG | hiya, on a chromecast it has this time-date-weather slideshow page... does ubuntu have something like that? | 03:25 |
|---|---|---|
| centHOGG | on startup | 03:25 |
| bougyman | as a screensaver? | 03:25 |
| bougyman | Oh. I'm sure you could do it but I don't know a specific app for it, offhand. | 03:25 |
| centHOGG | yeah, i mean when you plug in a chromecast it has this startup page with a big clock, date and weather | 03:25 |
| centHOGG | you can leave it on all day | 03:26 |
| centHOGG | slideshow | 03:26 |
| bougyman | That would best be implemented in a screensaver. I'm sure someone's done it. | 03:26 |
| centHOGG | kk | 03:26 |
| arraybolt3 | I think Ubuntu shows the date and time, but I don't know about the weather. Look into Xscreensaver. | 03:26 |
| bougyman | Because the screensaver is what you see when you unsuspend ubuntu | 03:26 |
| bougyman | It usually does show date and time in the display manager. | 03:26 |
| bougyman | But yeah, not weather (not that I've see). The display manager itself might be configurable for such. I've never looked into it. | 03:27 |
| centHOGG | ok I found an image of what I was talking about... | 03:32 |
| centHOGG | hold on | 03:33 |
| centHOGG | https://thurrott.s3.amazonaws.com/2018/07/chromecast.jpg | 03:35 |
| centHOGG | for a t | 03:35 |

| thedoctar | Hi there, I had a problem with a new usb-c hub with ethernet, that I fixed by updating the relevant kernel module for the ethernet adapter (available from realtek's website). I'd like to request that the relevant module be added to the mainline ubuntu kernel OR I'd like to notify other users who have this same problem. What's the best way to do this? Should I create a bug report on launchpad and list it as feature request? | 05:21 |

| murmel | thedoctar: about which device are we talking about? | 06:14 |
| thedoctar | The moudle is r8152 | 06:14 |
| murmel | no chars after the numbers? | 06:14 |
| thedoctar | Not the module | 06:14 |
| murmel | thedoctar: seems like there is a bug, as the kernel _does_ have a module. so I would report a bug against the ubuntu kernel, and then see from there | 06:18 |
| thedoctar | Okay, the mainline linux kernel from kernel.org also has the outdated module | 06:19 |
| murmel | thedoctar: whatever outdated means, afaik the driver from realtek directly is not foss or? | 06:19 |
| thedoctar | murmel: but the module in the kernel is from realtek anyway | 06:19 |
| thedoctar | murmel: the updated module is GPLv2 | 06:20 |
| murmel | did you try a mainline kernel? or do you just assume that it doesn't work? | 06:21 |
| murmel | thedoctar: ^ | 06:27 |
| thedoctar | murmel: I'm looking at the source code of the linux kernel v6.1-rc3 | 06:27 |
| thedoctar | https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c?h=v6.1-rc3 | 06:27 |
| murmel | thedoctar: if that is the case, report a bug to upstream, probably using mailing list, and then see from there, as ubuntu will eventually pick it up | 06:30 |
| thedoctar | murmel: thanks; do you know what the best mailing list is? or should I just use bugzilla? | 06:31 |
| murmel | thedoctar: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ | 06:31 |
| murmel | try to report an actual bug with some logs, rather than just asking for a newer version (but I guess pointing out that the realtek foss driver works) | 06:32 |
| murmel | no idea if they ever merged that driver, or if it's a "homegrown" linux driver | 06:33 |

| hid3 | Greetings everyone. I'm using 'screen' quite often for my daily tasks. I usually start it in detached mode, e.g. `screen -AdmS test <mycommand>`. However, when I re-attach the screen often it has broken characters, missing shell colors, etc... When I start just `screen`, then run <mycommand> and detach it, it won't experience such problems. Question: how do I make detached screen sessions behave the same as they would be started interactively? | 08:53 |

| zamba | hi! i want to convert from /e/n/interfaces to netplan.. what do i need to do? | 10:19 |
| sarnold | zamba: as far as I know, there's no 'shortcut' to it :( I load https://netplan.io/examples and https://netplan.io/reference in different browser tabs, and start copy-pasting the framework for the parts I want | 10:22 |
| sarnold | but i've only done that a few times, so maybe there's something nicer, heh | 10:23 |
| zamba | sarnold: i'm more interested in the actual replacing part.. writing the yaml is no problem.. but that it gets loaded correctly upon reboot and stuff like that | 10:23 |
| zamba | and that loading of /e/n/interfaces (ifupdown?) is disabled | 10:24 |
| sarnold | zamba: aha, nice :) I think that's putting it into /etc/netplan/nn-name.yaml file, and then 'netplan apply' or 'netplan try' or 'netplan generate' | 10:25 |
| zamba | what is backend specific configuration files? | 10:25 |
| zamba | You will not normally need to run this directly as it is run by netplan apply, netplan try, or at boot. | 10:26 |
| zamba | ah, ok | 10:26 |
| zamba | but how do i disable ifupdown? | 10:26 |
| sarnold | zamba: heh, in my case, upgrading to 22.04 was enough :) it removed ifupdown and left me without networking on that system, hehe | 10:31 |

| borked2022 | hiya, anybody willing to help me rescue the boot on this ubuntu openzfs-on-root? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2480236 | 10:46 |
| borked2022 | am I muted? | 10:49 |
| arraybolt3 | borked2022: No, we can see you. | 10:50 |
| borked2022 | arraybolt3: thanks | 10:50 |
| arraybolt3 | Looking... | 10:51 |
| arraybolt3 | borked2022: So, I see there's tons of info in that thread, and really I don't have a whole lot of experience here. However, there is one bit of info you might be interested in. | 10:57 |
| arraybolt3 | borked2022: ZFS root on Ubuntu is currently in a minimal maintenance mode and is nearly dead. It may be removed very soon, and I believe was even disabled in Ubuntu 22.10. | 10:57 |
| arraybolt3 | borked2022: While I know you're only interested in recovering the installation you have, it might be better to bail out and reinstall from scratch, **without** using ZFS this time. Ubuntu's root-on-ZFS is dying and may be dead already. | 10:58 |
| lotuspsychje | borked2022: and also ZFS + encryption has a known bug on ubuntu 22.04 at the moment (if thats your case) | 10:58 |
| arraybolt3 | (Scratch "may be dead already", since it's not dead on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 I believe, but you get my point... it's on its way out.) | 10:59 |
| borked2022 | arraybolt3: I'm aware, but thanks for the info | 10:59 |
| arraybolt3 | Sadly, given my lack of experience here and the complexity of the issue, I don't think I can help much more than that. There's plenty of other people here who may be able to help, however. | 11:00 |
| borked2022 | I don't have the luxury of bailing at this time | 11:00 |
| borked2022 | If I could rewind 2.5 years when I installed focal openzfs-on-root, I'd do things differently | 11:01 |
| borked2022 | arraybolt3: future installs may be with btrfs or zfsbootmenu.org | 11:02 |
| borked2022 | lotuspsychje: not encrypted, but can u link the bug in question please? | 11:03 |

| borked2022 | lotuspsychje: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2480236 | 11:11 |
| lotuspsychje | ok tnx ogra | 11:11 |
| borked2022 | I ran do-release-upgrade on a focal zfs on root (legacy bios, bpool, & rpool) and everything seemed to go fine until after reboot. Grub still showed 20.04 with old kernel and trying to boot it dumps to an emergency mode. | 11:12 |
| borked2022 | lotuspsychje: that WAS the scenario but after weeks of shenanigans I'm at a point where grub seems to be updating properly in a liveusb/chroot environment and show the right kernel etc on reboot | 11:13 |
| borked2022 | but still only boot to emergency mode | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | maybe check the bug ID ogra just mentioned, if thats your case? | 11:14 |
| borked2022 | lotuspsychje, ogra , it doesn't say anything about unencrypted zfs | 11:15 |
| ogra | yeah, this is very specific to encrypted zfs (same as the jammy bug before) | 11:15 |
| borked2022 | but those bugs really make ubuntu look like amateur hour | 11:16 |

| Demosthenex | so i'm reformatting my mediaPC, it was previously running an old ubuntu (14?). i tried installing 22. i have a radeon r9-270X graphics card with HDMI out to the TV. worked great in 14. in 22 i get no video unless i set "nomodeset" on my kernel in grub. when i boot. radeon and amdgpu can't make up their mind. i downgraded to 18, it's working better but now i have no sound over HDMI and no video | 14:18 |
| Demosthenex | acceleration so the screen crawls. again conflicts between radeon and amdgpu. i'm considering downgrading again to 16 or 14. can someone tell me whether i can use this r9-270x or not? | 14:18 |
| ravage | Demosthenex, i dont think the amdgpu driver makes sense for this old card | 14:20 |
| ravage | make sure not to use it and see if the included radeon/mesa driver works | 14:20 |
| Demosthenex | ravage: me either. but i've spent hours tinkering, passing exotic kernel params like "amdgpu.si_support=0" etc | 14:21 |
| Demosthenex | and the HWE support and modeset are often making Xorg skip the radeon driver | 14:21 |
| Demosthenex | i even disabled wayland to see if that helped | 14:21 |
| Demosthenex | vainfo never shows accel, and firefox/netflix are unusable | 14:21 |
| ravage | for vulkan you may need amdgpu | 14:22 |
| ravage | but you dont need that for firefox or netflix | 14:22 |
| Demosthenex | worse, it's not even detecting the HDMI resoultion, and defaulting to some odd generic value | 14:22 |
| Demosthenex | no, not gaming. just a media pc. watching videos from my NAS with VLC, firefox to YT/NF/D+ | 14:22 |
| Demosthenex | only caveat is the HDMI out | 14:22 |
| Demosthenex | i dug around, the r9 is the only card i had with the hdmi out | 14:22 |
| ravage | put "blacklist amdgpu" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and run "sudo update-initramfs -u" | 14:22 |
| ravage | reboot and make sure with lsmod that amdgpu is not listed | 14:23 |
| Demosthenex | at times, i haven't seen either loaded. lsmod and lspci -vk | 14:24 |
| Demosthenex | i think nomodeset breaks x11 and maybe it's using framebuffer | 14:25 |
| ravage | remove any modifications you did before | 14:25 |
| Demosthenex | unfortunately, if i don't do nomodeset, hdmi doesn't work at all. it may have booted, but even C-A-F1 doesn't get a console. | 14:25 |
| ravage | if you can reproduce them do a clean install | 14:25 |
| Demosthenex | ok, i'll try blacklisting. | 14:25 |
| Demosthenex | it's basically a clean install ;] | 14:25 |
| Demosthenex | if i install again, it'll be from 18 to 16 | 14:26 |
| ravage | 18.04 is the oldest supported version here | 14:26 |
| Demosthenex | yeah. i was hoping to get on another LTS version | 14:26 |
| Demosthenex | i'm only considering downgrading because it was a known working config | 14:27 |
| Demosthenex | and it seems to just be this card. maybe i can replace that :P | 14:27 |

| konrados | Hey, I just installed ubuntu 20, how to check router's IP and subnet mask? Google gives me answers from 2015 :) | 16:45 |
| konrados | ifconfig isn't there, btw, and then I found a suggestion, that I should `ip` but can't see the answer for these simple questions | 16:48 |
| ogra | man ip ? | 16:51 |
| konrados | Yeah, but I only have a few minutes ogra | 16:51 |
| ogra | the manpage is not *that* long 🙂 | 16:52 |
| Airwolf | ifconfig isn't there by default on desktop versions. You can install it with " sudo apt install net-tools" | 16:52 |
| konrados | OK, thanks Airwolf & ogra - netmask === subnet? | 16:56 |
| konrados | I get "inet 192.168.1.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" | 16:57 |
| Airwolf | sounds right if you're getting you address from a home router of some sort. | 16:58 |
| konrados | I need to connect fuuuu MAC to the cable, and it used to work, now it doesn't :) | 16:58 |
| Airwolf | Your carrier may have your MAC tied to your account; if the MAC has changed, you may need to contact them | 16:59 |
| konrados | Right, but for some reeason this stupid MAC changed the IP and subnet mask, and I don't have permissions to change that | 16:59 |
| Airwolf | sudo | 17:00 |
| konrados | No, no permissions | 17:00 |
| Airwolf | sudo gives you root access on Linux | 17:00 |
| Airwolf | But if it's your carrier, then you might have to contact them. I used to have to do that with Spectrum | 17:01 |
| konrados | It's a business laptop, MAC, in a moment I'll have a talk about about the issue, on my private computer I wanted to know the IP's thank Airwolf ogra | 17:02 |
| konrados | It's funny, that I, being a developer, have no access to the business laptop :) | 17:04 |
| konrados | * no permissions | 17:05 |
| Airwolf | Not from the company's IT department's view. Before I retired, I had lots of supposedly smart people screw network things up. Everyone has their own skill sets. | 17:05 |
| kkkssf | you need to bring the device down before you can change the mac | 17:06 |
| konrados | True, but I need to wait weeks to change a small thing o.O | 17:06 |
| Airwolf | Talk to your boss, tell him that's why you aren't getting stuff done. | 17:07 |

| nickgaw | Why did they get rid of the dual booting of ubuntu on windows where you could install ubuntu from windows and it was in it's own image on your windows hard drive? | 18:04 |
| ogra | nickgaw, you mean the "wubi" installer ? | 18:06 |
| nickgaw | yes where you use to be able to boot ubuntu from windows. | 18:06 |
| ogra | the community person that maintained it simply abandoned it and nobdy picked it up | 18:06 |
| nickgaw | Can it still be used or is it dead now? | 18:06 |
| ogra | it was bit-rotting for a few releases in ubuntu (but still available) but at some point it was simply to broken to be shipped | 18:07 |
| nickgaw | Is the source code for that installer still around anywhere? | 18:07 |
| ogra | i think it is completely gone now ... but yu might find old code googling for "wubi installer" or "wubi ubuntu" | 18:08 |
| ogra | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(software) | 18:08 |
| nickgaw | understand that page was that a popular feature in ubuntu? | 18:09 |
| ogra | https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi | 18:10 |
| ogra | last change in 2014 ... | 18:10 |
| nickgaw | so dead then | 18:10 |
| ogra | OH ! | 18:10 |
| ogra | https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi/releases | 18:10 |
| ogra | look at that 🙂 | 18:10 |
| ogra | (dont ask about it here though, i doubt anyone in here can help if you run into issues) | 18:11 |
| nickgaw | but in order to use it with a modern ubuntu I would have to do a lot of work to put it all together. | 18:11 |
| ogra | dunno, there seems to be a wiki on github for it | 18:11 |
| nickgaw | What is the name of the ubuntu installer that is used to do a normal installation of ubuntu and where is the sources for it? | 18:13 |
| ogra | ubiquity ... but i think that will be dropped this coming release | 18:13 |
| nickgaw | So how will users install new ubuntu releases and why are they dropping it? | 18:13 |
| arraybolt3 | nickgaw: I believe they intend to replace it with Canary. Ubiquity has a lot of problems. | 18:14 |
| nickgaw | From the end users point of view will it be the same or very different and are there any test images I can test with for accessibility reasons as I am totally blind and want to make sure it works with orca? | 18:16 |
| ogra | arraybolt3, so doe canary ... | 18:17 |
| ogra | *does | 18:17 |
| arraybolt3 | nickgaw: It's a much different user interface but still nice. Also, yes, there are testing images. I can link you to one very easily. | 18:17 |
| arraybolt3 | (Keep in mind that this image is **experimental** and should not be used on any machine that you want to use for actual work.) | 18:17 |
| nickgaw | I was going to use it on a virtual machine. | 18:17 |
| ogra | https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/new-desktop-installer-preview-build/24765 | 18:18 |
| ogra | see there | 18:18 |
| arraybolt3 | nickgaw: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-canary/current/ | 18:18 |
| arraybolt3 | A virtual machine is an ideal place to test this. | 18:18 |
| * ogra isnt sure the installer will actually be caled canary once it gets released though | 18:18 | |
| arraybolt3 | The link is to a page containing the ISO and the needed verification data (SHA256SUMS). | 18:18 |
| arraybolt3 | It will install a daily image build of Ubuntu 22.04.1 using the Canary installer rather than Ubiquity. | 18:19 |
| ogra | IIRC the name just stems from the "canary images" (i.e. "test images") | 18:19 |
| nickgaw | Should I first connect to my wireless network before I do this installer? | 18:19 |
| nickgaw | If it is on a virtual machine then wireless network should not matter right it is like the normal stable versions where it would use my existing network connection right? | 18:20 |
| ogra | nickgaw, perhaps https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/canary-desktop-image-how-do-i-use-it/23230 helps | 18:20 |
| nickgaw | Is the source code for this new installer anywhere for me to look at? | 18:23 |
| ogra | i think it is linked from the first discourse link i posted above | 18:25 |
| nickgaw | What is the point in rewriting the installer? | 18:26 |
| ogra | well, the installer was actually newly written for server and cloud about 10y ago ... | 18:28 |
| arraybolt3 | nickgaw: I was wrong, the link I sent you is to the Ubuntu **Kinetic* (22.10) Canary ISO. My bad. It should still work for testing though. | 18:28 |
| ogra | the new desktop installer is now just a flutter based frontend to that | 18:29 |
| ogra | i.e. there as been a new installer for a long time to fulfil cloud and server requirements that d-i could not serve | 18:29 |
| nickgaw | I don't mind testing development releases. | 18:29 |
| ogra | this new desktop installer just reduces the maintenance work of having to maintain two installers | 18:30 |
| nickgaw | Does ubuntu have any cloud server tools inside it for doing testing virtual servers on my own hardware? | 18:30 |
| ogra | there is cloud-init in al images nowadays i think | 18:31 |
| ogra | to apply config defaults and such | 18:31 |
| ogra | https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/automated-server-install-reference/16613 | 18:32 |

| yrdsb | How do I get chrome os like os on ubuntu | 19:49 |
| yrdsb | Since I don't have a Chromebook and my school have one | 19:49 |
| arraybolt3 | yrdsb: Chrome OS is basically just a fusion of Android, Chrome web browser, and maybe a Debian VM if you want it. You can get a similar setup by just installing Chrome and maybe Waydroid if you need Android apps. | 19:51 |
| arraybolt3 | (As an alternative, you could install Chrome OS Flex, but that won't be able to run Android apps due to restrictions put in place by Google.) | 19:51 |

| === realivanjx5 is now known as realivanjx | ||
| tomreyn | jpmh: if you just want to know whether the monitor is connected, you could possibly probe it with read-edid or ddcutil. a better option may be wayland-info, which is part of wayland-utils, which does not seem to be packaged for ubuntu. | 20:02 |
| tomreyn | jpmh: another option may be to just use gsettings to get the "current configuration", which may (or not, have not tried) include monitor details. | 20:03 |
| jpmh | tomreyn: will try those ideas TY | 20:04 |
| jpmh | tomreyn: I do see that my system has read-edid installed but it is not a command - what is it? | 20:06 |
| tomreyn | jpmh: it'S a package providing a couple tools. you probably want to sudo read-edid | parse-edid | 20:07 |
| jpmh | tomreyn: and gsettings just seems to need some param that I do not understand | 20:08 |
| tomreyn | note that this is ooold stuff, just like dccutil is, i don't know how well these work as standalone tools nowadays | 20:08 |
| jpmh | tomreyn: read-edid just gives me command not found | 20:09 |
| tomreyn | gsettings is a CLI to query and change gtk4 / gnome4 settings, you would need to start with something like gesettings list-recursively > /tmp/gesettings-all.txt and then look for the right schema to contain relevant info on your monitor (if any) | 20:10 |
| tomreyn | dpkg -L <somepackage> tells you which files are contained in a package. those in "bin" and "sbin" directories, are usually executable by you or root (or via sudo) | 20:12 |
| tomreyn | sometimes, when running commands through sudo, you need to specify the full path to a command which only meant to be run with root permissions. | 20:12 |
| tomreyn | jpmh: sorry, i made a mistake on the read-edid example: sudo get-edid | parse-edid | 20:14 |
| jpmh | get-edid tells me that i2c was unavailable | 20:17 |
| Guest68 | When it comes to ubuntu as well as spins like kubuntu or xubuntu or what have you, how many years is stuff under the universe repo supported for? Only 3 years? | 20:17 |
| Habbie | Guest68, universe isn't really supported at all, i thought | 20:18 |
| tomreyn | jpmh: hmm, if you ran it with sudo then this means it's not an option for you. also, i don't think read-edid tools will be able to tell what's connected where, just provide information on connected monitors. | 20:19 |
| jpmh | tomreyn: yep - it just seems clear that SOMEHOW the OS does interact but I can't see how to detect | 20:19 |
| tomreyn | Guest68: generally, packages in universe only get community support. there is (or was, this may have changed now that the new ubuntu-pro subscription was introduced) an undisclosed list of packages in universe which the security team watches and provides updates for on a best effort approach. also, the packages in universe which are part of the other ubuntu flavors (see !flavor) do get support by those flavors for the duration of the support | 20:22 |
| tomreyn | they offer. | 20:22 |
| Guest68 | With esm-infra, can I select or pay for what packages I use to get extended support for in universe? | 20:23 |
| tomreyn | with ubuntu-pro, a commercial Canonical offering with a free tier for personal / non-commercial use, you can get 10 years of support for (all?) packages in universe | 20:23 |
| tomreyn | Please contact Canonical to gain a better understanding of what their offerings are beyond what is documented on ubuntu.com/pro and /esm | 20:24 |

| tomreyn | jpmh: oh, there's gnome-randr also: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/primary-monitor-x-wayland#2-changing-the-primary-monitor-in-gnome | 22:13 |
| Teckla | WSL--specifically WSL2--is awesome! I have probably used it almost every day for years now! | 22:14 |
| jhutchins | Teckla: If you have that much use for Linux, why not just run it as the base OS? At least run it in a VM. | 22:15 |
| Teckla | The Ubuntu flavor of WSL2, of course! :) I haven't figured out how to upgrade it from 20.04 to 22.04 yet... lol | 22:15 |
| jhutchins | WSL is crippled in very annoying ways if you get into the system at all. | 22:15 |
| Teckla | jhutchins: Work computer. Windows required. But allowed to install Ubuntu/WSL2. \o/ | 22:16 |
| Teckla | Takes a bit of the pain out of using Windows, if you know what I mean. ;) | 22:16 |
| jhutchins | Teckla: What about Virtualbox? That's what I used for that. | 22:16 |
| Teckla | I do run straight up Linux on some of my own hardware. It seems far more professional than Windows and macOS these days. | 22:16 |
| jhutchins | Teckla: Work hasn't discovered Linux yet? | 22:17 |
| Teckla | jhutchins: That would work, and I've done that in the past. Also Hyper-V. | 22:17 |
| Teckla | jhutchins: They love Linux... on the server. But unfortunately, still a Windows on the desktop company. | 22:17 |
| jhutchins | Teckla: That's actually a reasonably good solution for a corporate environment. Windows does corporate desktop integration best. | 22:18 |
| Teckla | True. | 22:18 |
| jhutchins | Teckla: No Macs? | 22:19 |
| Teckla | For my personal use, though, I prefer pure Linux. | 22:19 |
| Teckla | jhutchins: I've noticed that some of the non-developer folks have Macs. | 22:19 |
| jhutchins | Oops, got carried away, we're off topic for #ubuntu. | 22:19 |
| Teckla | Oops, sorry. | 22:19 |
| Teckla | All this reminds me, though, I still need to figure out how to upgrade Ubuntu (non-desktop) from 20.04 to 22.04. Time for some digging around on the web. | 22:20 |

| kannon | anyone know how to install vmware on ubuntu 20.04 ? total cluster_f# | 23:19 |
| kannon | all the keys stuff. in the installation they never mention them, then you try to run a vm.... | 23:19 |
| kannon | the tutorials don't mention them either | 23:21 |
| jhutchins | kannon: Did you install the extensions? | 23:30 |
| takeshii | 5~5~5~ | 23:30 |
| jhutchins | What is it, VMWare Workstation? Player? | 23:30 |
| kannon | that's ubuntu stuff right jhutchins ? | 23:31 |
| jhutchins | kannon: No, VMWare is it's own thing. | 23:31 |
| jhutchins | !vmware | 23:32 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 23:32 |
| kannon | thanks, I had a hell of a time with virtualbox too. jhutchins | 23:32 |
| jhutchins | kannon: I have not had good luck with their desktop systems. | 23:32 |
| ELFrederich | how do I launch the utility that shows all your disk space? | 23:33 |
| jhutchins | ELFrederich: du or df | 23:33 |
| jhutchins | ELFrederich: sudo | 23:33 |
| kannon | my admin suggested I just run it on a windows host. what do you think jhutchins is that easier? | 23:33 |
| ELFrederich | jhutchins, I'm asking about the GUI tool | 23:34 |
| nickgaw | In order to use the WSL system do I have to use the windows store or can I do a direct download? | 23:34 |
| nickgaw | The feature is enabled on my windows 11 pro system. | 23:34 |
| murmel | nickgaw: doesn't matter | 23:35 |
| jhutchins | kannon: I've had good luck with vbox on Windows and on Linux. VMWare on Windows was not good. | 23:35 |
| jhutchins | kannon: I would not be surprised if VMWare was better on Windows than on linux, but I haven't tried it. | 23:35 |
| nickgaw | Is there a way to do a download of ubuntu for windows without using the windows store? | 23:36 |
| murmel | nickgaw: wsl --install | 23:36 |
| kannon | thanks kindly jhutchins | 23:36 |
| nickgaw | Is it the full desktop or just the console? | 23:37 |
| murmel | nickgaw: it's always console | 23:37 |
| nickgaw | That is fine but I don't think you can decide how much disk space you can use or processors you can use right? | 23:38 |
| murmel | yeah it adapts | 23:38 |
| murmel | and hdd is always full c:\ | 23:38 |
| nickgaw | Can the images be backed up for later restoration? | 23:39 |
| ELFrederich | jhutchins, vbox on Windows is only good if you have a decent graphics card. Crazy unreponsive if you're using intel embedded graphics | 23:39 |
| murmel | nickgaw: no idea | 23:39 |
| murmel | i gues snot | 23:39 |
| murmel | nickgaw: as wsl i only for devwork, you have the files on windows anyway | 23:40 |
| murmel | is* | 23:40 |
| Teckla | If anyone is interested, `sudo do-release-upgrade` worked like a charm to upgrade Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 on WSL2. | 23:59 |
| Teckla | Pretty darn fast, too. I don't think it was even 10 minutes. | 23:59 |
