| eferneng | Hey 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 |

| eferneng | ravage This might be exactly what I am looking for! How can I install this "Tweaks"? | 00:51 |
| ravage | it comes with Ubuntu 22.04 | 00:51 |
| ravage | i may be wrong. in that case do "sudo apt install gnome-tweaks" | 00:52 |

| gebbione | hi 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 right | 06:39 |
| gebbione | any idea where this error might be coming from? | 06:39 |
| gebbione | my bashrc files does not seem to have anything specific for terraform | 06:39 |
| WoodenIdol1 | does the file actually exist in file explorer | 06:41 |
| gebbione | i removed it | 06:42 |
| matsaman | gebbione: there was a file at /usr/local/bin/ and you removed it? | 06:50 |
| gebbione | yes, when installing terraform manually it is downloaded and placed under that location | 06:54 |
| gebbione | not there is an APT so i just wanted to removed the one installed manually | 06:54 |

| gebbione | and it might not be on the one you expect it :) | 07:28 |
| murmel | gebbione: oO? | 07:31 |
| gebbione | murmel, i have other weird problems with double screen setup, one of them is where the log in is shown, sometimes goes to the other screen | 07:31 |
| oerheks | it might track focus of your mouse | 07:32 |
| oerheks | not weird at all | 07:32 |
| murmel | gebbione: it really depends on which dm you are using, sddm (used by kde for example) tracks where the mouse is | 07:33 |
| murmel | but it can also show on all at the same time | 07:33 |
| gebbione | it is definitely weird when i tries to recover from screen sleep | 07:34 |
| gebbione | ie it is a broken view where the login field is on the top left of the screen in a broken UI | 07:34 |

| gebbione | https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/install/apt | 08:02 |

| kerfluffy | hi | 09:54 |
| kerfluffy | i'm having issues installing python3-pip | 09:54 |
| kerfluffy | i keep getting the error: python3-pip : Depends: python-pip-whl (= 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.5) but 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.6 is to be installed | 09:54 |
| kerfluffy | i'm on 20.04 | 09:55 |
| kerfluffy | anyone know how to make it depend on 1.6 instead of 1.5? | 09:55 |
| geirha | you have refereshed the package lists by running sudo apt update ? | 09:56 |
| kerfluffy | yep | 09:56 |
| geirha | apt policy python3-pip python3-pip-whl shows them coming from the same repo? | 09:57 |
| kerfluffy | hmm | 09:58 |
| kerfluffy | python-pip-whl and python3-pip yes | 09:59 |
| kerfluffy | python-pip-whl: | 09:59 |
| kerfluffy | Installed: 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.6 | 09:59 |
| kerfluffy | Candidate: 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.6 | 09:59 |
| kerfluffy | both coming from http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages | 09:59 |
| geirha | ok, 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 |
| kerfluffy | i'm just trying to install python3-pip | 10:02 |
| kerfluffy | it seems to depend on 1.5 | 10:03 |
| kerfluffy | but i've got 1.6 installed. not sure if it's a good idea to downgrade python-pip-whl | 10:03 |
| geirha | Hm. Weird. apt depends python3-pip says it depends on the 1.6 version of python-pip-whl here | 10:03 |
| kerfluffy | hmm mine says 'Depends: python-pip-whl (= 20.0.2-5ubuntu1.5)' | 10:04 |
| geirha | the apt policy from before. Does it inlcude the 1.6 version of python3-pip too? | 10:06 |
| kerfluffy | geirha this is what i get: https://dpaste.org/jfrxA | 10:07 |
| geirha | so it looks like the au mirror is lagging behind. It has the newest version of python-pip-whl, but not of python3-pip | 10:08 |
| kerfluffy | looks like it | 10:09 |
| geirha | you could try downgrading python-pip-whl with apt install python-pip-whl=20.0.2-5ubuntu1.5 | 10:10 |
| geirha | and then once the au mirror gets the 1.6 versions of both, an apt upgrade should upgrade both | 10:12 |
| geirha | or wait ... the 1.6 should be coming from security.ubuntu.com which is not a mirror. So that's really odd | 10:14 |
| ravage | works on a fresh 20.04 container: https://p.haxxors.com/yymjcyua.txt | 10:23 |
| ravage | sources.list : https://p.haxxors.com/7fkncxyw.txt | 10:25 |
| kerfluffy | should i remove the au mirrors? | 10:28 |
| ravage | you can try to backup your sources file and try mine | 10:28 |
| ravage | maybe you are just missing something | 10:29 |
| ravage | like focal-updates for example | 10:29 |
| kerfluffy | yeah | 10:29 |
| alkisg | Eeeh 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 |
| ravage | all user data for snaps are in ~/snap | 10:30 |

| clarkk | I'm on ubuntu 20.04. After installing the latest updates, that I had put off for a week or two, video in my browsers stops working after a short time. If it stops in firefox, I try it in chrome and it also won't load videos. I can just see a spinner in the video window but it never starts. Can someone advise, please? | 10:45 |
| zaggynl | Guest60: no direct experience but uh, unity? | 10:46 |
| clarkk | Now firefox will load the first frame, but won't play the video. If I jump to another point in the video, it shows that frame but doesn't play | 10:46 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest60: are you trying that on xorg or wayland? | 10:46 |
| Guest60 | I am running ubuntu 22.04 with openbox on xord | 10:46 |
| Guest60 | xorg | 10:46 |
| clarkk | One remedy that I've seen online is to install ffmpeg, but I've always had that installed. | 10:47 |
| sarnold | Guest60: why do the cd `..` and so on? just use dirname directly | 10:48 |
| Guest60 | it's written in o3de script | 10:49 |

| lotuspsychje | clarkk: check your /var/log/dpkg logs to see wich updates could have borked it | 10:53 |
| alkisg | Using 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 |
| alkisg | Is there a way to use snaps without sandboxing? | 10:56 |
| sarnold | alkisg: some 'classic' snaps can bypass sandboxing, but they have to sign up for it | 10:56 |
| alkisg | Not 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 |
| Piraty | alkisg: grab the upstream mozilla release , drop in $HOME/app/firefox , put that into PATH . done . no more snap pain | 10:57 |
| alkisg | Piraty: I'm using the mozilla ppa, I don't have snap installed; I was testing if it would be possible to "go with the flow", but I really can't | 10:58 |
| Piraty | i mean https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/download/ | 10:58 |
| Piraty | ppa suck | 10:58 |
| oerheks | that ppa would give updates, Piraty, just that download does not. | 10:59 |
| oerheks | so, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/download/ is not helpfull | 11:00 |
| Piraty | oerheks: firefox has self-update feature | 11:00 |
| Piraty | that runs more often than you do `apt upgrade` i bet | 11:00 |
| alkisg | Fortunately 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 |
| oerheks | alkisg, for the snap, in settings>applications > firefox it gives ' systemfiles: allow access.." | 11:03 |
| sarnold | Piraty: unattended-upgrade runs daily | 11:05 |
| alkisg | oerheks: 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 development | 11:05 |
| sarnold | alkisg: you can do some bind mount games .. it's not great | 11:05 |
| alkisg | So 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 | |
| sarnold | or if you connect the right snap interfaces you should be able to do anything anywhere, try connecting the home interface or something like that | 11:08 |
| sarnold | check the settings page? this is kind of old but hopefully still relevant https://ubuntu.com/blog/a-guide-to-snap-permissions-and-interfaces | 11:08 |
| alkisg | Thank you sarnold , will give that a go | 11:09 |

| ogra | alkisg, 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 bug | 12:43 |
| alkisg | Thank you ogra, I'll give ~/my-project a go as well | 12:45 |
| ogra | the tmp issue you describe is worrying though ... looks like an incompatibility between portals (who operate in /run/user/<uid>/doc) and /tmp | 12:47 |

| stevenm_ | How does someone *change* the system fixed width font ? :D | 13:32 |
| 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 :P | 13:33 |
| stevenm_ | maybe it's a GTK+ thing? /desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name perhaps | 13:34 |
| kevin_ | Hi | 13:40 |
| rubick | Is there a good resource for documentation on creating pam profiles in /usr/share/pam-configs? | 13:44 |
| sarnold | rubick: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PAMConfigFrameworkSpec | 13:48 |
| yrdsb | Why is interim ubuntu release unstable | 13:48 |
| sarnold | because the bulk of the 'new development' happens in those releases; with the bug reports from users, the LTS releases can be more predictable and mor ereliable | 13:49 |
| yrdsb | Also why did 21.10 end support so early | 13:49 |
| yrdsb | It ended support less then a year ago | 13:50 |
| yrdsb | I mean why only 9 monthes | 13:50 |
| yrdsb | That way too short | 13:50 |
| leftyfb | yrdsb: that is how it's always been | 13:50 |
| yrdsb | Leftydn but 9 monthes is too short | 13:50 |
| leftyfb | this is why we have LTS releases. Stick with those if you need longer support | 13:50 |
| yrdsb | What the difference between lts and interim | 13:51 |
| leftyfb | longer support | 13:51 |
| yrdsb | Also I tried ubuntu 21.10 but it had stability issues | 13:51 |
| leftyfb | also, pretty sure it's just "LTS" and not "LTS". I don't think it's ever been referred to as "interim" | 13:51 |
| === zeroes_ is now known as zeroes | ||
| yrdsb | Why people say don't use interim releases | 13:52 |
| leftyfb | I'm pretty sure this was all just explained to you | 13:52 |
| sarnold | yrdsb: the interim releases used to get 18 months of support, but it was a lot of extra work to fix bugs and security problems for releases that very few people used | 13:52 |
| yrdsb | What do most peoppe use lts or interim | 13:52 |
| sarnold | yrdsb: LTS releases are vastly more popular | 13:52 |
| leftyfb | yrdsb: stick with LTS | 13:53 |
| yrdsb | What happen if I attemt to upgrade to a interim release | 13:53 |
| leftyfb | :/ | 13:53 |
| leftyfb | then it will only get support for 9 months | 13:53 |
| yrdsb | When will interim stop being unstable | 13:53 |
| yrdsb | I need stability not new features | 13:54 |
| leftyfb | then stick with LTS | 13:54 |
| yrdsb | Bye | 13:54 |

| Piraty | why does `apt dist-upgrade` show multiple packages 'are held back'? isn't dist-upgrade's purpose to install/uninstall automatic dependencies | 14:14 |
| lotuspsychje | can you pastebin whats happening exactly Piraty so volunteers can think along with you? | 14:16 |
| Piraty | yes | 14:16 |

| Piraty | http://ix.io/4eVy | 14:18 |

| Piraty | will check | 14:35 |
| Piraty | why? | 14:35 |
| hggdh | sorry, why what? | 14:35 |
| Piraty | why would i want glibc-doc-reference | 14:39 |
| yrdsb | ,can you give me a 1 hour +q | 14:39 |
| Piraty | maybe that was meant for pickanick | 14:39 |

| pickanick | no, I mean, how to make sure various info pages are installed? | 14:57 |
| pickanick | If they are installed, info X will not display the man pages for X | 14:58 |
| jhutchins | pickanick: Most packages do not have info pages. | 14:58 |
| jhutchins | (Some barely have man pages.) | 14:58 |
| jhutchins | pickanick: Graphical programs also tend to avoid text manuals in favor of either help files or more often on-line documentation (web pages). | 14:59 |
| jhutchins | pickanick: Some packages have separate documentaion modules that are not installed by default. | 15:00 |
| pickanick | mmap is a linux programmer's function with GNU extensions and so I imagine it would come with GNU info pages | 15:02 |
| pickanick | but it's possible it simply does not | 15:03 |
| pickanick | hmm more info at https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ | 15:03 |
| pickanick | no mention of info. ah well | 15:04 |
| jhutchins | Many early man pages were auto-converted from info pages. Some projects never bothered to update them. | 15:04 |
| hggdh | GNU 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 binaries | 15:07 |
| jhutchins | hggdh: Sometimes. | 15:09 |
| hggdh | that's why I said "in general" | 15:10 |
| hggdh | the 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 |
| hggdh | by default the manpages-dev (at least) will carry the GLIBC-equivalent 'man' entries | 15:23 |
| hggdh | but, once glibc-doc-reference is installed, then an 'info libc' will give one access to all | 15:25 |

| pycurious | I want to delete a file so that it is not recoverable. What is the right tool in Ubuntu to do this? | 16:59 |
| omart | i think its rm -rf | 16:59 |
| omart | but that deletes the entire follder | 16:59 |
| xx | pycurious: there are no guarantees that a file is not recoverable | 16:59 |
| pycurious | omart: that is no where close to secure deletion | 16:59 |
| xx | wipe the entire drive if you have to | 17:00 |
| xx | a single overwrite of entire drive with zeros is enough | 17:00 |
| johnnee | right click open as admin, delete contents.. to start | 17:00 |
| ogra | pycurious, ook at "shred" | 17:01 |
| ogra | *look | 17:01 |
| ogra | (it will overwrite the data on the filesystem with zeros while deleting the file) | 17:02 |
| ogra | shred -uvz /path/t👋file | 17:02 |
| ogra | (sorry, rougue emoji plugin in my client 😛 ) | 17:03 |
| ogra | using the -n option you can have it overwrite the data multiple times bw | 17:04 |
| ogra | there is also the "secure-delete" package that ships the "srm" tool doing something similar (but shred is pre-installed i think) | 17:04 |

| Guest77 | Heyy, my distro is not suspending after Nvidia driver update... | 18:44 |
| johnnee | re-do your drivers .. pick another one. | 18:44 |

| Guest77 | johnnee I tried, but already screwed up my installation when a bunch of Nvidia drivers failed and ended up with black screen on boot | 18:47 |
| pycurious | I've an external drive that I want to encrypt using a password. What is a good FS to use for this? | 18:47 |
| tomreyn | Guest77: what's your distro? | 18:47 |
| Guest77 | Pop OS 22.04 Nvidia | 18:47 |
| tomreyn | Guest77: i'm afraid you won't find help with this here, we support ubuntu | 18:48 |
| johnnee | guest77 google.. how to delete nvidia.. and... re- install | 18:48 |
| johnnee | gheeze pop | 18:48 |
| Guest77 | I want to permanently disable nvidia.. its causing more issues than its use | 18:49 |
| johnnee | go some where else | 18:49 |
| Guest77 | tomreyn Before Installing Pop OS I screwed up Ubuntu installation lol | 18:50 |

| tomreyn | Guest77: if you want to try again and get help with it here, if needed, let us know | 18:50 |

| johnnee | lotuspsychje: - still waiting. thank you for your time and efforts. | 18:51 |
| tomreyn | pycurious: there is also cryptsetup / dmcrypt-luks (but that's not file system encryption) | 18:52 |
| Guest77 | tomreyn I want to try Lubuntu next, I hope it is supported here | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | pycurious: also zfs and btrfs support encryption, i think, maybe the xfs, too, not sure. | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | !flavors | Guest77 | 18:53 |
| ubottu | Guest77: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 18:53 |
| tomreyn | (Lubuntu is one of them) | 18:53 |
| Guest77 | Thanks, you guys are amazing!! I'm moving back to my ubuntu | 18:54 |
| johnnee | good answer | 18:55 |
| johnnee | usually, anything that re-writes itself as "ubuntu" is broke. | 18:56 |
| tomreyn | pycurious: actually i seem to be wrong there, btrfs doesn't support file system encryption. | 18:56 |
| Guest77 | johnnee I learnt that hard way, hehe | 18:57 |
| johnnee | me 2 16 yrs ago | 18:57 |
| johnnee | back when we installed 6.06 | 18:57 |

| Guest77 | Now, I had tried Ubuntu 20.04, which ran without any issues at all... except Bluetooth audio with PulseAudio... Should I go with that or I try the latest 22.04? | 18:59 |
| tomreyn | johnnee: 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 |
| johnnee | Guest77: with each "point" release.. it gets better. | 19:00 |
| ravage | Guest77, the latest LTS is usually a good idea | 19:01 |
| Guest77 | tomreyn do we have people from Canonical here or it is community driven support ? | 19:01 |
| tomreyn | Guest77: community, which does not rule out people who also work for Canonical | 19:01 |

| Guest77 | Can I keep my home existing directory while installing Ubuntu ? | 19:03 |
| Guest77 | I mean, is it possible to install Ubuntu without losing data? | 19:03 |
| tomreyn | johnnee: 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 |
| ravage | if you have /home on a seperate partition a manual partition setup is possible that keeps data | 19:04 |
| johnnee | tomreyn: they in person "did" respont, it was not an accurate response. thanks | 19:05 |
| ravage | i still would not recommend it. especially not coming from a foreign distro | 19:05 |
| Guest77 | I do have it on a separate partition | 19:05 |

| Guest77 | Why is Ublock blocking Lubuntu's official website for badware risk? | 19:08 |
| tomreyn | SeeBergD: 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 |
| ravage | Guest77: you are not on the official website | 19:09 |
| ravage | https://lubuntu.me/ | 19:09 |
| Guest77 | Yup got it, i was accessing lubuntu . net | 19:10 |
| SeeBergD | Tomreyn: Okay thank you for your advice, will probably install it again! | 19:10 |
| tomreyn | SeeBergD: 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 |

| arraybolt3 | Wayland has the display manager and display server all in one thing. | 19:42 |

| oerheks | !distupgrade | 21:39 |
| ubottu | A 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 |

| brkcore | can i see the progress of moving files in terminal, if I started it with gui? | 22:12 |
| brkcore | moving big files from vm to usb | 22:12 |
| brkcore | stuck on 6 hrs left | 22:12 |
| oerheks | one could see the size of the usb, repeatedly to check progress.. | 22:15 |
| oerheks | maybe even with your filemanager | 22:15 |
| brkcore | I can see only the speed varies with +/- 0.01kbs (moving it with around 248kb/s | 22:16 |
| brkcore | maybe something wrong with a file that is moving now | 22:16 |
| brkcore | its been 3 hours already i forgot what im moving | 22:19 |
| oerheks | good luck! | 22:22 |
| brkcore | if I see which file is taking so long i can delete it so it can carry on moving the next files | 22:22 |
| oerheks | well, crossposting is not helping .. | 22:23 |
| brkcore | i didnt expect someone will answer thats why , sorry | 22:24 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: rsync -av? | 22:31 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: rsync -av --progress? | 22:32 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: What command are you using to move? | 22:32 |
| brkcore | jhutchins, rsyng -av progress error syntax | 22:33 |
| brkcore | jhutchins, i used gui | 22:33 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: man rsync to get the correct syntax, but I think it's what I suggested, --progress | 22:33 |
| xx | never use gui for stuff that matters | 22:33 |
| xx | gui fails in unexpected ways and gives no helpful logging | 22:34 |
| brkcore | jhutchins, yes its correct, it works | 22:34 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: There's an old tradition that abreviated (single letter) options are - and full-word options are -- | 22:34 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: The rsync command will also skip any portion of the file already copied. | 22:35 |
| brkcore | I see now pdf file is moving with 8/37kb/s | 22:35 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: You _can_ tell rsync to delete after moving, but it's probably better to copy-then-clean. | 22:35 |
| brkcore | jhutchins, can rsync delete a file that is already moving? | 22:36 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: That requires a better knowledge of the processes involved and where they are in progress. | 22:36 |
| brkcore | in general all files are mobing very slow, i was thinking its because im moving very big file | 22:37 |
| jhutchins | brkcore: There is no actual "move" operation. There are only copy and delete. | 22:37 |
| brkcore | but now with rsync I see even small files are moving slow | 22:37 |
| brkcore | jhutchins, mhm, thats right good point | 22:38 |
| jhutchins | (Actually, there is no "copy", just "read" and "write". | 22:38 |
| brkcore | yeah, its writing | 22:39 |
| brkcore | and its writing with 240kb/s for almost 3 hours now. 6 hours left. That's not right | 22:40 |
| brkcore | but 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/s | 23:02 |
| brkcore | the port is 2.0 and the usb is v3.0 | 23:03 |
