efernengHey guys, I just started using Ubuntu moving from Windows and I liked so far. However there is one issue, unlike windows the CAPS LOCK button doesn't affect the numbers row so if I want to type a number I have to press shift. Is there anyway I can change this behavior. My keboard is AZERTY and the layout is French by the way.00:38

ravageit comes with Ubuntu 22.0400:51
ravagei may be wrong. in that case do "sudo apt install gnome-tweaks"00:52

Macwinnerhi, what's the proper way to get postfix 3.6.x installed on Ubuntu 20.04?  Focal has postfix 3.4 by default.  Jammy has 3.6.  We can't upgrade to jammy because mongodb doesn't support it yet.06:01

gebbionehi folks, i just tried updating terraform on my ubuntu. I had an older version at /usr/local/bin/terraform . I installed the latest version with APT and it sits at /usr/bin/terraform but now if i type terraform i get `bash: /usr/local/bin/terraform: No such file or directory` . Creating a symlink does not sound right06:39
gebbioneany idea where this error might be coming from?06:39
gebbionemy bashrc files does not seem to have anything specific for terraform06:39
WoodenIdol1does the file actually exist in file explorer06:41
gebbionei removed it06:42
matsamangebbione: there was a file at /usr/local/bin/ and you removed it?06:50
gebbioneyes, when installing terraform manually it is downloaded and placed under that location06:54
gebbionenot there is an APT so i just wanted to removed the one installed manually06:54
gebbionesed /not/now/06:58
gebbioneany ideas?07:08

dob1when you have more than one monitor and you boot the system you have the login window on all the monitors or just one?  I was sure on all the monitor but when I boot today the system it is just on one monitor, maybe I am wrong07:22

oerheksnot weird at all07:32
murmelgebbione: it really depends on which dm you are using, sddm (used by kde for example) tracks where the mouse is07:33
murmelbut it can also show on all at the same time07:33

kerfluffyi'm having issues installing python3-pip09:54
kerfluffyi keep getting the error: python3-pip : Depends: python-pip-whl (= 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.5) but 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.6 is to be installed09:54
kerfluffyi'm on 20.0409:55
kerfluffyanyone know how to make it depend on 1.6 instead of 1.5?09:55
geirhayou have refereshed the package lists by running   sudo apt update   ?09:56
kerfluffyyep09:56
geirhaapt policy python3-pip python3-pip-whl   shows them coming from the same repo?09:57
kerfluffyhmm09:58
kerfluffypython-pip-whl and python3-pip yes09:59
kerfluffypython-pip-whl:09:59
kerfluffy  Installed: 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.609:59
kerfluffy  Candidate: 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.609:59
kerfluffyboth coming from http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages09:59
geirhaok, in 22.04 it's named python3-pip-whl, but I checked a 20.04 box now and I see 1.5 and 1.6 entries for both python3-pip and python-pip-whl. Are trying to explicitly install the older 1.5 ones?10:02
kerfluffyi'm just trying to install python3-pip10:02
kerfluffyit seems to depend on 1.510:03
kerfluffybut i've got 1.6 installed. not sure if it's a good idea to downgrade python-pip-whl10:03
geirhaHm. Weird.  apt depends python3-pip   says it depends on the 1.6 version of python-pip-whl here10:03
kerfluffyhmm mine says 'Depends: python-pip-whl (= 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.5)'10:04
geirhathe apt policy from before. Does it inlcude the 1.6 version of python3-pip too?10:06
kerfluffygeirha this is what i get: https://dpaste.org/jfrxA10:07
geirhaso it looks like the au mirror is lagging behind. It has the newest version of python-pip-whl, but not of python3-pip10:08
kerfluffylooks like it10:09
geirhayou could try downgrading python-pip-whl with   apt install python-pip-whl=20.0.2-5ubuntu1.510:10
geirhaand then once the au mirror gets the 1.6 versions of both, an apt upgrade should upgrade both10:12
geirhaor wait ... the 1.6 should be coming from security.ubuntu.com which is not a mirror. So that's really odd10:14

alkisgEeeh did I understand correctly that snap forces apps to save files in ~/snap/xx? So if I want to use normal firefox I use ~/.mozilla, if I switch to snap I use ~/snap/firefox, and if I use flatpak or next-years-store I'll use ~/next-years-store?!?!10:30

alkisgUsing snap firefox, trying to save a web page in /tmp; sometimes it works sometimes it fails; then trying to open the same page gets me to file:///run/user/1001/doc/29348793/test.html. So I guess enforced sandboxing will destroy many development workflows that need to ping-pong some files and dirs between many applications.10:56
alkisgIs there a way to use snaps without sandboxing?10:56
sarnoldalkisg: some 'classic' snaps can bypass sandboxing, but they have to sign up for it10:56
alkisgNot a user choice then... thank you sarnold , I guess I'll stick to my existing workflows for as long as I can then :)10:57

Piratyoerheks: firefox has self-update feature11:00
Piratythat runs more often than you do `apt upgrade` i bet11:00
alkisgFortunately https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa is maintained by ubuntu devs, as long as they keep it around I'll prefer it, although I did switch my main browser to google-chrome in the summer...11:00
oerheksalkisg, for the snap, in settings>applications > firefox it gives ' systemfiles: allow access.."11:03
sarnoldPiraty: unattended-upgrade runs daily11:05
alkisgoerheks: it's already enabled by default, but it's still not using the files directly, it's moving them around in temp dirs, making them useless for development11:05
sarnoldalkisg: you can do some bind mount games .. it's not great11:05
alkisgSo a web developer would have to move all their ~/development/html tree under ~/snap/firefox to work with firefox, and then move it to ~/snap/chromium-browser the test there...11:06
* alkisg stops the subject to avoid spamming the channel and goes to his corner to cry in silence :/11:06
sarnoldor if you connect the right snap interfaces you should be able to do anything anywhere, try connecting the home interface or something like that11:08

ograalkisg, both browsers connect the home interface by default, so sharing html pages should be possible through ~/my-project or some such ... /tmp is indeed a per-snap thing, but you should in any cas always be able to save something to it, if you can not, there is a bug12:43
alkisgThank you ogra, I'll give ~/my-project a go as well12:45

stevenm_As "Ubuntu Mono" in size 13 is crap (and not fixed width after all anyway)... and it seems "DejaVu Sans Mono Book" in size 11 is virtually identical in lettering (mostly) and the same size... but actually /IS/ fixed width :P13:33

pickanickno, I mean, how to make sure various info pages are installed?14:57
pickanickIf they are installed, info X will not display the man pages for X14:58
jhutchinspickanick: Most packages do not have info pages.14:58
jhutchins(Some barely have man pages.)14:58
jhutchinspickanick: Graphical programs also tend to avoid text manuals in favor of either help files or more often on-line documentation (web pages).14:59
jhutchinspickanick: Some packages have separate documentaion modules that are not installed by default.15:00
pickanickmmap is a linux programmer's function with GNU extensions and so I imagine it would come with GNU info pages15:02
pickanickbut it's possible it simply does not15:03
pickanickhmm more info at https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/15:03
pickanickno mention of info. ah well15:04
jhutchinsMany early man pages were auto-converted from info pages.  Some projects never bothered to update them.15:04
hggdhGNU offerings all use 'info' and usually have a summarised 'man' page as well. In general the corresponding package has both of them, together with the binaries15:07
jhutchinshggdh: Sometimes.15:09
hggdhthat's why I said "in general"15:10
hggdhthe GLIBC doc is (1) a large package; (2) not needed for *most* Linux users. IIRC there was of old some sort of encumbrance on it as well (but I may as well be confusing things)15:15
hggdhby default the manpages-dev (at least) will carry the GLIBC-equivalent 'man' entries15:23
hggdhbut, once glibc-doc-reference is installed, then an 'info libc' will give one access to all15:25

pycuriousI want to delete a file so that it is not recoverable. What is the right tool in Ubuntu to do this?16:59
omarti think its rm -rf16:59
omartbut that deletes the entire follder16:59
xxpycurious: there are no guarantees that a file is not recoverable16:59
pycuriousomart: that is no where close to secure deletion16:59
xxwipe the entire drive if you have to17:00
xxa single overwrite of entire drive with zeros is enough17:00
johnneeright click open as admin, delete contents.. to start17:00
ograpycurious, ook at "shred"17:01
ogra*look17:01
ogra(it will overwrite the data on the filesystem with zeros while deleting the file)17:02
ograshred -uvz /path/t👋file17:02
ogra(sorry, rougue emoji plugin in my client 😛 )17:03
ograusing the -n option you can have it overwrite the data multiple times bw17:04
ograthere is also the "secure-delete" package that ships the "srm" tool doing something similar (but shred is pre-installed i think)17:04

johnneere-do your drivers .. pick another one.18:44

pycuriousGood encrypted FS suggestions? Is EXT4 good for this?18:51
tomreynpycurious: supposedly yes, but i have not read much about it, and it's still somewhat new.18:51
johnneelotuspsychje:  - still waiting. thank you for your time and efforts.18:51
tomreynpycurious: there is also cryptsetup / dmcrypt-luks (but that's not file system encryption)18:52
Guest77tomreyn I want to try Lubuntu next, I hope it is supported here18:53
tomreynpycurious: also zfs and btrfs support encryption, i think, maybe the xfs, too, not sure.18:53

tomreynjohnnee: we have a couple ubuntu channels. this one is really just for support Q & A. it's fine to share experiences when it adds to an answer someone asked an ubuntu question on.19:00
johnneeGuest77:  with each "point" release.. it gets better.19:00
ravageGuest77, the latest LTS is usually a good idea19:01
Guest77tomreyn do we have people from Canonical here or it is community driven support ?19:01

Guest77Can I keep my home existing directory while installing Ubuntu ?19:03
Guest77I mean, is it possible to install Ubuntu without losing data?19:03
tomreynjohnnee: i'm not sure which ubuntu question you asked, but note that there is no guarantee that a specific person will respond to some question you asked, or anyone.19:04
ravageif you have /home on a seperate partition a manual partition setup is possible that keeps data19:04
johnneetomreyn:  they in person "did" respont, it was not an accurate response. thanks19:05
ravagei still would not recommend it. especially not coming from a foreign distro19:05
Guest77I do have it on a separate partition19:05
johnneeIs lotuspsychje a bot ?19:06
tomreynjohnnee: no. and i don't think you can insist on a response.19:07
johnneeI see whats coming.. i will leave for now.. thank you ubuntu for your efforts19:07
SeeBergDHello! Is it possible to encrypt the linux partition even after installation?19:07
Guest77Why is Ublock blocking Lubuntu's official website for badware risk?19:08
tomreynSeeBergD: this depends a bit on what / how you installed. but let's say it's not a common approach. you probably want to do the encryption during installation.19:09
ravageGuest77: you are not on the official website19:09
ravagehttps://lubuntu.me/19:09
Guest77Yup got it, i was accessing lubuntu . net19:10
SeeBergDTomreyn: Okay thank you for your advice, will probably install it again!19:10
tomreynSeeBergD: yes, that's probably what you want. both desktop and server installer support it. it's a bit more complicated to setup with the server installer, but you get more flexibility there, too.19:12
SeeBergDThank you, tomreyn!19:14

matt3hello : dreaming an ubuntu solid ... i think xorg + display manager is double ... why not xorg and stop with inside gnome or cinnamonn or mate ...19:42
arraybolt3I think you're describing Wayland vs. X?19:42
arraybolt3Wayland has the display manager and display server all in one thing.19:42
arraybolt3It should be the default display manager mode on Ubuntu 22.04 and higher.19:43

mjt0k..looks like it is20:37

jilocasinevening everyone21:37
jilocasincan anyone point me in the direction of some docs on how to upgrade ubuntu server 22.04.1 to 22.04.5? thanks.21:37
oerheksjust run sudo apt dist-upgrade # and reboot21:39
oerheks!distupgrade21:39
ubottuA dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.21:39
jilocasinoerheks: did, doesn't do anything21:40
oerheksreally? so what kernel do you have now?21:41
jilocasinoerheks: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.21:41

brkcore can i see the progress of moving files in terminal, if I started it with gui?22:12
brkcoremoving big files from vm to usb22:12
brkcorestuck on 6 hrs left22:12
oerheksone could see the size of the usb, repeatedly to check progress..22:15
oerheksmaybe even with your filemanager22:15
brkcoreI can see only the speed varies with +/- 0.01kbs (moving it with around 248kb/s22:16
brkcoremaybe something wrong with a file that is moving now22:16
brkcoreits been 3 hours already i forgot what im moving22:19
oerheksgood luck!22:22
brkcoreif I see which file is taking so long i can delete it so it can carry on moving the next files22:22

jhutchinsbrkcore: rsync -av?22:31
jhutchinsbrkcore: rsync -av --progress?22:32
jhutchinsbrkcore: What command are you using to move?22:32
brkcorejhutchins, rsyng -av progress  error syntax22:33
brkcorejhutchins, i used gui22:33
jhutchinsbrkcore: man rsync to get the correct syntax, but I think it's what I suggested, --progress22:33
xxnever use gui for stuff that matters22:33
xxgui fails in unexpected ways and gives no helpful logging22:34
brkcorejhutchins, yes its correct, it works22:34
jhutchinsbrkcore: There's an old tradition that abreviated (single letter) options are - and full-word options are --22:34
jhutchinsbrkcore: The rsync command will also skip any portion of the file already copied.22:35
brkcoreI see now pdf file is moving with 8/37kb/s22:35
jhutchinsbrkcore: You _can_ tell rsync to delete after moving, but it's probably better to copy-then-clean.22:35
brkcorejhutchins, can rsync delete a file that is already moving?22:36
jhutchinsbrkcore: That requires a better knowledge of the processes involved and where they are in progress.22:36
brkcorein general all files are mobing very slow, i was thinking its because im moving very big file22:37
jhutchinsbrkcore: There is no actual "move" operation.  There are only copy and delete.22:37
brkcorebut now with rsync I see even small files are moving slow22:37
brkcorejhutchins, mhm, thats right good point22:38
jhutchins(Actually, there is no "copy", just "read" and "write".22:38
brkcoreyeah, its writing22:39
brkcoreand its writing with 240kb/s for almost 3 hours now. 6 hours left. That's not right22:40
brkcorebut what could be the reason for such a slow writing on the usb? the VM is set to use 3.0 controller , the speed is under 30kn/s23:02
brkcorethe port is 2.0 and the usb is v3.023:03
