[00:24] Hi I made a backup of my home folder of ubuntu 20.04 with rsync of a differnt drive than the live one, Im using now if there a way to mount it so I can open the web browser from that backup as I want to accsess some shortcuts I made there [00:24] is* [00:38] I've been having an issue with sudo apt update in a WSL2 Jammy install and I cannot find any answers that help. Whenever I run the command, it takes a while to output anything (kinda like it's timing out), and when it does have something, it's "Ign:1 http:archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease". If I let it go long enough it says it has a "Temorary failure resolving '*url*'. I've tried uninstalling the WSL app, updating WSL, doing whatever I could find on [00:38] StackExchanges, but nothing has helped. I can ping Google, so network isn't the issue. This started after I tried to add the deadsnake ppa, but I don't know what that would've done to screw it up like this. [00:39] I should specify, it's not specifically archive, it's all of the urls apt update tries to call [00:40] Bit: you have to fix your WSL2 DNS resolving then [00:44] ravage: Thank you! It's connected to them now. Follow up question: Is there a way to add a secondary DNS to the /etc/resolv.conf file? Is it just adding a comma after the first DNS address? [00:45] one namserver per line [00:45] nameserver 8.8.8.8 [00:45] nameserver 8.8.4.4 [00:46] also check if "generateResolvConf = false" you have in your wsl.conf: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5068#issuecomment-1268171185 [00:46] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 5068 in microsoft/WSL "WSL2 , problem with network connection when VPN used (PulseSecure)" [Open] [00:46] or it may be overwritten on the next reboot [00:56] I set that in my wsl.conf file, and restarted. My resolv.conf file got overwritten again. When looking up how to change the WSL DNS, someone mentioned that wsl.conf might have a symlink. I did ls -l and there was an entry of '-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30 (today's date and time) wsl.conf'. Is that the symlink, and how to I remove it? [00:57] it's not a symlink [00:58] symlinks have somethink like wsl.conf -> /etc/path/to/real/file [01:01] Bit: i dont use WSL but maybe this is helpful https://gist.github.com/coltenkrauter/608cfe02319ce60facd76373249b8ca6 [01:02] i think the "chattr +i resolv.conf" may be the real fix here [01:03] so edit the resolv.conf then to the chattr and see if it survives the reboot [01:07] how do I change the scaling of wallpaper in 22.10? [01:09] iconoclasthero: install gnome-tweaks [01:10] that isn't just in settings > appearance? [01:12] or, i guess, "didn't that used to be in settings > appearance"? [01:13] anyway, yes, i had gnome-tweaks i just ... well see the question above for what I expected. [01:13] ravage: chattr +i resolv.conf did it. Thanks again for your help [02:07] my pc can't translate file by bluetooth, when bluetooth is opened and connected , i noticed microphone icon appear at the same time, [02:08] i can't find reasons why the bluetooth reject send file [02:13] I'm running Ubuntu's WSL 2, and the boot directory has a subdirectory called 'androidboot,' is this presumably related to WSL? [02:14] I don't recall Ubuntu having that directory normally (the androidboot part) but it's been a while. [02:15] chilled-entity62: normal ubuntu definitely doesn't have it, can't verify if it does exist on wsl [02:15] my WSL has nothing in /boot [02:16] must be something you installed [02:16] murmel I too previously had an empty boot directory. I did specify systemd boot in the wsl.conf but I don't recall systemd requiring that directory either [02:17] now it has what appears to be a standard boot directory except for the android part [02:19] if I try to look at it, the system adamantly claims that it doesn't exist [02:30] is there any senior managers who look for new hires? i responded to one of your applications [02:30] at canonical [02:31] chilled-entity62: you probably mean systemd not systemd boot or? [02:32] cnnx: you would need to contact canonical directly, we are here a community helping out people [02:32] sometimes people from canonical show up, but rarely [02:32] ok I sent them my resume [02:33] anybody doesn't see their network drives in the Ubuntu dock? I can mount and browse them without problem but they just don't show up in the left dock [02:33] murmel thank you [02:33] did you mount them with the cli? mount /dev/sdx /mnt/custom [02:34] grolongo: on wich release are you on? [02:34] cnnx: I did it from CLI and from Nautilus file manager too. I'm on Ubuntu 22.10 [02:34] if you right click on the nework driev can you set it as desktop preference [02:35] I'll try that [02:35] ok [02:35] also make sure that it's enabled to even show up in the dock (in gnome settings -> appearance -> at the bottom you can configre the dock) [02:36] murmel: did that too, but the default is to show them and I didn't change anything [02:36] k [02:36] when I plug an usb it appears as expected, just not network drives [02:37] murmel yeah I just meant running systemd, just confused myself because the recommended change to the wsl.conf is [boot] systemd=true [02:38] I mean it apparently installed grub at some point so I don't think it's booting with systemd [02:39] yeah, with that you only switched the init system, but not the boot part ;) [02:41] yeah I don't know why they have you write it that way in the conf. To be fair I enabled it without much investigation (I'm not sure why it installed grub for example) [02:43] chilled-entity62: by default wsl doesn't use systemd as the init system, as it's not really needed. but people were complaining (and it gets closer to normal ubuntu) [02:43] grub no idea, as I can't remember what I saw last time I looked at wsl [02:47] I think it's still using WSL init, but I can use systemctl. I might just reinstall it without systemd. [02:48] The weird immutable boot directory is too unnerving. [02:48] chilled-entity62: oh, how did you install wsl? [02:49] the store version is newer than when you do wsl --install [02:50] I installed wsl 2, its just nice to have a real terminal when I'm in windows. [02:50] well I hope wsl2 as wsl1 is quite old and on life support ;) [02:51] but I am actually talking about wsl2 through store or cli [02:52] yeah I installed it from the windows store the Ubuntu LTS version. [02:52] kk :) [02:57] murmel: do your network drives shows up in the dock? (if you have any) [02:58] i dont have network drives and i dont use the dock :) [03:10] mm === root is now known as Guest4620 [04:26] su [04:26] apt update [08:12] so, i haven't found a solution to the 22.04 stuck on 5.4 yet, any suggestions on where to ask next? === gschanuel0 is now known as gschanuel [08:16] evils[m]: you could sum up the issue so someone else could give it a go (if this was previously discussed here) [08:17] automatic update from 20.04 ended up with 22.04 being stuck on linux 5.4, 5.15 is installed, but not set up to be used... [08:18] do you mean a release upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04? [08:18] yes [08:19] can you show sudo apt update && apt policy && apt list --installed | grep ',local\]$' | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:19] actually all of those need to go to a pastebin [08:19] can you show sudo apt update && apt policy && apt list --installed | grep ',local\]$' [08:21] got a recommended pastebin? [08:21] !paste | evils[m] [08:21] evils[m]: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://dpaste.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [08:22] https://dpaste.com/EY34PAKBF [08:25] evils[m]: okay, this looks good so far, let's see about installed packages and pending upgrades: apt list --installed linux* && sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt -f install && sudo apt -sy full-upgrade [08:26] https://dpaste.com/9HJ2VE44J [08:27] evils: cat /proc/cmdline /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:28] fyi: cat: /boot/grub/grub.cfg: Permission denied [08:28] evils[m]: you're missing linux-generic-hwe-22.04 [08:28] tomreyn i already tried installing that, that didn't help, removed it again [08:28] evils: sudo cat /proc/cmdline /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:29] https://termbin.com/4we5 [08:29] i have no idea what i did to get 5.15 into the grub.cfg at some point... [08:31] I think that you have another boot partition somewhere with another version of grub.cfg, but since I'm n00b with zfs I'll stop talking now :) === fling_ is now known as fling [08:31] oh, zfs on /, right [08:31] i'm a newbie there, too, and share alkisg's assumption [08:31] what's in /boot though? [08:31] https://termbin.com/wplw [08:31] that [08:32] evils: are you sure your boot partition is mounted? sudo lsblk --fs | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:32] 5.4.0-21-generic being from the 10th is due to my attempts at getting stuff installed, but it seems like the kernels haven't been touched since march 2020 [08:33] https://termbin.com/2rjhj [08:33] Your `update-grub` is either updating zfs while your boot is ext, or it's updating a different zfs snapshot than the one you're using [08:33] Shouldn't bpool be mounted on /boot? No idea about zfs though [08:34] Also, you mounted the efi partition on /boot/grub? Eww [08:34] zfs list, https://termbin.com/klxi [08:34] Try this: umount /boot/grub [08:34] i didn't mount anything, all i did was `zfs import /dev/nvmen1p3` [08:35] Then: sudo cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:35] *sudo for the umount above [08:35] euhm, umount isn't going to affect /boot/grub/grub.cfg, right? [08:35] not without a update-grub? [08:36] The efi partition should be mounted in /boot/efi [08:36] You have it mounted two times, in /boot/efi and in /boot/grub [08:36] That's certainly causing problems; not sure if it's the problem you're seeing [08:36] So unmounting it will allow us to see what's below, in your bpool pool [08:36] cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg fails with no such file or directory [08:37] cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:37] https://termbin.com/v01u0 [08:38] Oh. Hm. Is that a bind mount there? [08:38] So you're reusing the efi partition as a ...grub directory [08:39] ...I don't get the logic for that [08:39] oh, perhaps relevant, this was 20.04, but installed a few days before the release due to time constraints [08:39] The /boot directory is supposed to hold vmlinuz, initrd and grub.cfg [08:39] Now you put your grub.cfg in a subdiretory of a different partition; I've no idea why [08:40] While the efi partition is only supposed to hold shim and grub.efi, not the real grub.cfg [08:40] also, those are usually different file systems [08:40] file system types, i should say [08:41] evils[m]: so, why this setup? [08:41] ¯_(ツ)_/¯ the ubuntu installer did this [08:42] really? i'm surprised it would do it like that. [08:42] fortunately zfs on root is marked as experimental [08:43] evils: `sudo mount /boot/grub` to remount it, then `sudo ls -lR /boot | nc termbin.com 9999`. [08:43] to be fair, without the zsys stuff i'd have to have taken a train to this computer to boot it again [08:43] Let's see what else you have in boot and efi... [08:43] ...and grub subdir... [08:44] https://termbin.com/ezst [08:44] happy scrolling... [08:44] Erm, your 5.15 kernel doesn't exist in /boot [08:46] sudo dpkg -S /boot | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:47] https://termbin.com/frx1 [08:48] sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-5.15.0-52-generic linux-image-5.15.0-52-generic [08:48] been there, done that, doing again [08:49] Well your /boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-52-generic is missing, so if you did that previously, something is deleting it behind your back [08:50] done [08:50] And is it there now? [08:50] jup... [08:50] initrd.img and vmlinuz don't point to it though [08:50] No matter, you're also mising the -hwe package but these are details for now, [08:50] try: sudo update-grub [08:51] Then: sudo umount /boot/grub; sudo update-grub [08:51] So that it goes in both file systems [08:51] Then cross fingers, reboot and let's see the results... [08:51] hwe is only for getting performant use of the hardware, right? [08:52] no remounting /boot/grub before rebooting? [08:52] !hwe [08:52] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [08:52] No need it will be remounted on reboot [08:52] You have that bind-mount declared in your /etc/fstab [08:52] ok, /boot/initrd.img and vmlinuz still point to 5.4 [08:53] you'll also want to to remove the outdated openssl library, and possibly other packages listed on the bottom of https://dpaste.com/EY34PAKBF.txt [08:53] but do that after reboot [08:53] That's not a problem, it's taken care of kernel hooks, but grub ignores that [08:53] *postinst hooks [08:54] tomreyn yea, tossing those locally installed things once i can remove 5.4 xD [08:54] ok, any other suggestions, or do i reboot? [08:54] ..have a live usb nearby? :D [08:54] this PC is in a few towns over and my dad's asleep, i'm in via ssh [08:54] and he does not have an USB stick [08:54] wait till dad's awake [08:54] it's been a fun couple of days :) [08:54] That's certainly not a good combination to be plain with experimental features :D [08:54] then i'll be asleep [08:55] *playing [08:55] ...and has a prepared usb stick [08:55] again, without zsys i'd not have gotten this far in debugging it :) [08:55] Or it wouldn't need debugging... [08:56] well, i assumed ubuntu wouldn't shoot itself in the foot [08:56] anyway, i take this to be a no on further suggestions before rebooting? [08:57] Let's see your generated grub.cfg [08:57] wanted to check teh grub.cfg, but that was in /boot/grub which i unmounted, mount and cat? [08:57] No, wait, [08:57] (sudo ls -lR /boot/grub; sudo cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg) | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:58] (sudo umount /boot/grub; sudo cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg) | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:58] This will show us both of them [08:58] Replace umount with mount [08:59] https://termbin.com/3js6 [08:59] https://termbin.com/4w21 [09:00] The first part is missing [09:01] (sud umount /boot/grub; sudo ls -lR /boot/grub) | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:01] To see what's underneath the mount [09:01] s/sud/sudo/ [09:01] Oh sorry my bad [09:01] It was just grub.cfg there [09:01] https://termbin.com/cgjx [09:01] I'd go ahead and reboot now [09:03] * evils[m] makes the sign of the lambda and orders a reboot [09:04] `Linux jean-itx 5.15.0-52-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13 08:03:55 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux` [09:04] systemctl status [09:04] Running or degraded? [09:04] 7 queued, 0 failed [09:05] Not bad so far [09:05] * alkisg wonders if that was a small λ or capital Λ and what did it mean... :D [09:07] * evils[m] uploaded an image: (18KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/nixos.dev/yRCFigDAPOJEEZywAEWEmPcO/image.png > [09:09] > * <@alkis:matrix.org> wonders if that was a small λ or capital Λ and what did it mean... :D [09:09] seemed like an appropriate time for the sign of the cross [09:09] but i'm a nixer... [09:10] And you have λ instead of + ?! [09:10] What happens if you run: systemctl status plymouth-quit-wait [09:10] And: sudo systemctl status plymouth-quit-wait [09:10] Sorry, replace the last one with: [09:10] sudo systemctl stop plymouth-quit-wait [09:10] Starting Hold until boot process finishes up... [09:11] And stopping it made the rest leave the waiting state? [09:11] ok, stopping left just zsys-commit.service in running [09:11] nope, that's no longer queued [09:12] 0 queued, 0 failed [09:12] So no queued tasks now? [09:12] OK, that's probably unrelated to the kernel update [09:12] And needs to be troubleshooted separately [09:12] good time to clean up those locally installed packages? [09:13] What's the output of: sudo dpkg -l | grep linux | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:14] https://termbin.com/4edf [09:14] Start with ` sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }') `, and put the prompt to pastebin before you press yes [09:15] To purge all these removed old packges [09:15] E: Removing essential system-critical packages is not permitted. This might break the system. [09:17] Ctrl+C then [09:17] ah, shim-signed [09:17] It means you have removed something that you shouldn't have [09:17] E.g. a metapackage, so now all dependencies are left in orphan state [09:17] it canceled itself [09:17] wasn't removed, and it's the shim-signed "essential package" [09:18] What's the output of this? Again press no: sudo apt purge --auto-remove [09:18] alkisg: 0 on everything [09:18] For example, if you removed an ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-minimal or something metapackage, then all its dependencies are now orphan [09:18] yes, i saw that episode of ltt xD [09:20] so, filter shim-signed from the dpkg -l? [09:20] Start with this one: https://termbin.com/taro [09:22] a few of these, but succeeded [09:22] `dpkg: warning: while removing linux-modules-5.4.0-74-generic, directory '/lib/modules/5.4.0-74-generic' not empty so not removed` [09:22] That's OK, either dkms modules or it gets removed a bit after [09:22] So now what does `dpkg -l | grep linux` look like? [09:23] dpkg -l | grep linux | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:23] https://termbin.com/olgj [09:24] sudo apt purge linux-5.4-headers-5.4.0-14 linux-headers-5.4.0-14-generic linux-headers-5.4.0-21 linux-headers-5.4.0-21-generic linux-image-5.4.0-21-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-21-generic [09:25] When it's finished, upload this: dpkg -l | grep ^rc | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:25] alkisg: that did an update-initramfs and grub config regeneration [09:26] It's ok, now your grub.cfg won't have 5.4 in it [09:26] https://termbin.com/g7ud [09:27] Hrm, so you can remove shim-signed but not purge it?! I don't get where the prompt comes from [09:27] (although, why remove it?) [09:27] just speculating, but i was assuming it's an old one [09:28] Normally I'd reinstall it, but I'm afraid to advice touching your boot process any more, as it's very volatile :) [09:28] So let's leave it as it is now [09:30] so this now? `sudo apt purge --autoremove $(dpkg -l | grep -v "shim-signed" | grep ^rc)` [09:31] * so this now? `sudo apt purge --autoremove $(dpkg -l | grep -v "shim-signed" | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }' )` [09:32] Leave out mysql-common too for now, in some weird cases I saw it purging databases before users migrated to newer versions or maria-db [09:33] done [09:33] 👍️ [09:34] When you're close to dad, reinstall shim-signed [09:34] will do [09:34] i guess that leaves the plymouth issue? [09:35] Yup. It's probably unrelated to the kernel upgrade though [09:35] ah and i should probably install some -hwe package now [09:37] Not necessarily [09:37] The linux-generic users stay in the same kernel [09:37] The linux-generic-hwe ones upgrade to newer kernels every 6 months [09:37] Not everyone wants that as it's causing instabilities [09:37] While it's good for new installations on new hardware [09:38] Hence 22.04.1 has linux-generic, while 22.04.2+ get linux-generic-hwe [09:38] Read the link that tomreyn had posted [09:40] k [09:40] anything else to be done with the boot or kernel setup? [09:41] does someone has his network drives showing in the dock? [09:42] not sure thats working grolongo [09:42] maybe other docks like plank, not sure [09:43] grolongo: you could dig into dconf-editor or search gnome extensions perhaps [09:43] alkisg: could the plymouth thing not finishing and holding up multi-user.target be the login screen not being logged in to? [09:48] lotuspsychje: it's supposed to be enabled by default on stock Ubuntu, but it doesn't show anything in the dock [09:48] evils: no [09:48] evils: It's waiting for something, you could check the plymouth logs for what it is, or you could just quickly systemctl mask the unit and call it a day :D [09:49] lotuspsychje: I'm guessing that's a bug since I didn't tweak anything myself, only mounted a network drive. but I don't know if others can repoduce it [09:51] alkisg: nothing in the logs, guess i'll mask it [09:51] alkisg: thanks so much for your help, was stuck on this since the 9th... [09:51] Cheers! :) [09:51] do you have a clear idea of what resolved it? [09:52] to me it kinda seems like ordering a reinstall of the 5.15 packages did it [09:52] that and mounting/unmounting /boot/grub to distribute the config [09:52] Yes, but I don't have a clear idea of why the files weren't there [09:52] Something was deleting them, but I've no idea what [09:52] ...as it was before the troublehooting started [09:53] grolongo: mounted devices should show on the dock indeed, but didnt test network mounts yet myself [09:53] evils: but they were there when `update-grub` was called, as the generated grub.cfg did have them [09:54] lotuspsychje: yep, pluging an USB key for eg shows it correctly [09:56] grolongo: in dconf-editor i see the value; show-mounts-network [09:57] ok, masked plymouth-quit-wait, boots completely now [09:57] (on dash-to-dock) [09:57] i don't suppose anyone knows if there's a correct way of cleaning up older zfs snapshots from zsys, besides just ordering zfs to delete them? [09:57] lotuspsychje: it should be "true" by default right? [09:57] grolongo: its enabled at my side, so i assume yes [09:59] same, you can also find it in Settings > Ubuntu Desktop > Configure dock behavior > Include Network Volumes [09:59] but doesnt seem to work, at least on 22.10 [10:00] grolongo: just tested on a local ftp here, doesnt show on dock indeed [10:01] only in nautilus left pane [10:02] grolongo: weird, as its known here; https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/1338 [10:02] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 1338 in micheleg/dash-to-dock "dash-to-dock is not showing mounted network volumes and devices" [Closed] [10:04] lotuspsychje: exactly this. I might reopen an issue to see whats going on [10:05] yeah, file it against ubuntu-bug gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock please grolongo [10:06] you might also discuss it at #ubuntu-next grolongo [10:07] maybe others can try to reproduce it [10:10] if I did a rsync backup of my home folder on 20.04 can I mount that backup and run the version on the brouser in that backup I want to get to some bookmaks I had in there [10:11] of* [10:12] oh if the browser stuff and bookmarks outside of the home folder ? [10:12] or is* [10:22] at least for firefox, bookmarks are in .mozilla/firefox/*/bookmarkbackups [10:23] $ sudo swapon /swapfile -> swapon: /swapfile: swapon failed: Invalid argument [10:23] any help on that? [10:23] $ sudo swapon /swapfile -> swapon: /swapfile: swapon failed: Invalid argument [10:24] BlueSmoke what in the world are you typing [10:25] thanks I'm using brave! had to recover the other day and made a backup [10:29] wanted to mount different backups and run the browser to loof for some bookmarks I made but not sure how to I'm looking arounfd on google too [12:01] I run 22.04 and would like to turn of the "dancing icons" feature in the ubuntu dock. Here it is explained better https://askubuntu.com/questions/1425787/how-to-stop-dock-icons-from-shaking-when-receiving-a-notification [12:13] Hi guys, why is there no WSL release for 22.04 LTS in https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/22.04/release/ like there is for 21.04 (https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/hirsute/release/ubuntu-21.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-wsl.rootfs.tar.gz) ? [12:14] nvm, just found it. it moved to https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/wsl/jammy/current/ [12:16] cacodemon: may I ask you how you can import those? [12:33] arm-none-eabi-gcc does Ubuntu have that? [12:34] cacodemon the location has changed to https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/wsl/ [12:34] oh, gone [13:39] is it possible to have a specific application use a different default gateway than the rest of my system? [14:06] Hi all [14:09] FNAShinobi: "policy routing" is the feature, but doing it by application might be tricky. It generally would work by user and/or protocol[/port]. [14:10] Maybe a network namespace, idk? === jesopo is now known as jess [15:00] There are apps that open multiple terminals and you enter command once but it gets entered in all the terminals. Can anyone recommend that app? === Scotty_Trees3 is now known as Scotty_Trees [15:21] Intelo, and what is the name of such weird app? [15:29] tmux might do that [15:30] eh, oh well :P [15:46] anyone know how to disable swap file creation in the autoinstall? I see the option in the curtain documentation but I don't know how to pass it via autoinstall [15:48] *curtin [15:48] https://curtin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/config.html#swap [15:49] from https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-reference [15:51] My OBS snap installation suddenly stopped working -- it was fine last week. I also can't update with apt. [15:51] I'm getting errors about keys. [15:52] hmm,I followed the instructions there, and it doesn't create a swap partition, but it still creates a swap.img file [15:53] what if you delete the whole 'swap: .. ' [15:53] would that skip swap.img of 0mb [15:56] ok, I will try... I'll need to specify my other partitions though. right now I'm just using an automatic partition layout [15:59] I missed this part, oops: If the “layout” feature is used to configure the disks, the “config” section will not be used. [16:01] sounds logical === V|A is now known as VIA [16:35] thanks oerheks, gotta step away for a bit but this helps [17:00] Linux, I believe and guess, isn't that stable as freebsd is. Or is it just ubuntu and I should try another distro? anyway, with specially UI, it bloats under heavy load. Now the problem is that Linux has a lot of utilities that I am used to an need. Some configs, shortcuts etc. Until I find a way, how can I run both linux and freebsd at the same [17:00] time? I thought of installing freebsd as guess and linux as host in virtualbox. Or vice versa is better? Or any other option? I think virtualbox based virtualization will be a bottleneck somewhere? Do I have other options? I need to run both at the same time in the start so that I can use in linux what freebsd does not have (or I do not yet get an [17:00] alternative/solution)? Any thoughts? [17:01] Intelo: please use #ubuntu-discuss . This is the ubuntu support channel [17:02] or if you want to discuss freebsd: #ubuntu-offtopic [17:02] OK sir [17:02] ravage thank you sir === david_ is now known as Guest403 [17:24] #ubnutu [17:24] bonjour === Guest403 is now known as Mayapic [17:45] oerheks: yay ok. disabling the swap file works as long as you specify the storage config. thanks! [17:46] $ xterm Maximum number of clients reachedxterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :0 [17:46] I have too many terminals open. I can't run anything else now. What to do? [17:48] Kill some terminals. [17:49] Intelo: You should be able to access the non-graphic terminals, Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. [17:49] Hello! I recently tried installing a driver for a Nvidia Tesla m40 and now my computer won't boot. I guess it's trying to use the m40 as the display device, even though I have been and was using my integrated graphics just fine. How do I fix this? [17:49] Intelo: You can selectively kill some, or just restart gdm to re-launch the X system. [17:50] Mylon: boot with nomodeset and remove driver/fix driver [17:50] so hit esc/shift during boot to bring grub menu and then press e on the boot entry to add nomodeset on the linux line [17:50] I tried launching recovery mode and it spit out a bunch of errors but eventually dumped me into a terminal. [17:51] Mylon: Ok, so you have a terminal. What's your next question? [17:52] I am a little confused about the arp command - it shows what I expect interms of connected devices, or more to the point those that I have connected to, but seems to maintain that memory for a very long time. How lomng is the cache maintained? [17:52] jpmh: Why does this matter? [17:53] jhutchins: we are considering offereing one more "statistic" for our clients [17:54] jhutchins: and I really just want to understand it -the docs seem to say that the cache time is short - but arp shows them for a long time [17:54] How long is a piece of string? [17:54] Oh, maybe I don't have a terminal.... I tries "ls" and then a terminal-like window responded like it captured the input instead... [17:56] I'm back to the grub menu. I can edit Ubuntu 22.04 or Advanced options for 22.04 [17:56] I'm not sure where to add "nomodeset". [17:57] !kernelparams | Mylon [17:57] Hm [17:58] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters [18:03] Welp... I tried. [18:03] Gave seome errors, then showed the splash screen for a little while, now it's spamming, "NVIDIA device is invalid" [18:04] "This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid" [18:05] It's a dedicated number crunching card so just want to use the dedicated graphics card. [18:05] *the integrated graphics chip [18:08] This was using the "nomodeset" line added to the grub launcher. [18:09] Intelo: This includes this channel. and any other on the network. [18:20] Any other recommendations on how to recover my system? [18:21] A_Dragon make me [18:21] A_Dragon I refuse to leave this channel. You make me leave. [18:22] Woo, drama. [18:22] :) [18:22] 🦙 [18:22] I'm gonna remove the nvidia card and see what happens. [18:23] Woo, sucker is warm and it wasn't even doing anything. [18:24] Mylon: You might try booting with the kernel parameter systemd.unit=multi-user.target [18:24] Mylon: nomodeset just cripples the Nvideo subsystem, it still tries to load. [18:24] Okay, it booted fine witih the card removed. [18:25] Mylon: Well, great, fix it from there. Reverse whatever steps you took to enable nvidia. [18:25] I imagine I will still want the drivers, just not used as a display device. [18:26] Mylon: Yes, you'll still need some kind of driver. [18:26] I'm in "software & Updates" > "Additional Drivers" which is where I found the nvidia drivers but nothing is listed and the revert button is grayed out. [18:27] Mylon: Use the console tools, not the GUI. [18:27] I am very inexperienced with the terminal. [18:28]
