[00:00] <val_> I fixed the sound to keep the enhanced amplification option to %150 :)
=== chris14_ is now known as chris14
[00:05] <oerheks> Does that stick over 100% after reboot?

[00:12] <val_> yes, it sticks to %150 after reboot
[00:22] <Polochon_street> hi! Is there any way place with checksums (md5, etc) of binaries installed by default on Ubuntu? I'm facing something that might have compromised my `ps` (and other commands), and I'd like to check their integrity
[00:26] <Bashing-om> Polochon_street: Yeah - kernel keeps a check file: /var/lib/dpkg/info/<package_name>.md5sums : list of MD5 hash values for files installed by the package. The installation of debsums enables verification of installed package files against MD5sum values in the this file.
[00:26] <Polochon_street> which package `ps` belongs to? `dpkg -S /bin/ps` didn't return anything
[00:27] <Polochon_street> I assume it's a built-in or something, so not sure how this works
[00:32] <oerheks> dpkg -S /bin/ps returns procps: /bin/ps
[00:32] <oerheks> !info procps

[00:33] <oerheks> so you have a weird ubuntu?
[00:35] <val_> who? me?
[00:37] <oerheks> no, not you val_
[00:38] <oerheks> i wait for a good time to reboot, never got volume set above 100%.
[00:39] <val_> click on sound icon on the taskbar, the check the option: raise maximum volume
[00:39] <val_> but it worked after installing the app gnome tweaks and selecting: over amplification
[00:40] <val_> install the app first
[00:41] <Polochon_street> yea, that ubuntu VM is in an interesting state :D thanks for the help!

[00:57] <lagash_> Hello, I'm trying to get hostapd working. I have an USB WiFi adapter, I know it has AP support (I've used it before on a RPi), but apparently Ubuntu uses a stack that's different from what I'm used to. For instance, I can't find /etc/network/interfaces, and I've heard that's because Ubuntu now uses netplan?? I want it so that when the interface appears (i.e. when I plug in the device), the AP gets started.
[00:58] <lagash_> I'm using Ubuntu jammy. /etc/netplan/* seems to pass it on to NetworkManager, and NM seems to have the ifupdown plugin...
[01:01] <sarnold> lagash_: you can switch netplan to use the systemd-networkd framework, too
[01:02] <lagash_> sarnold: I'm actually more familiar with NM
[01:02] <sarnold> lagash_: unfortunately i find the docs on the system itself to be pretty thin; the better docs are online https://netplan.io/

[02:45] <theorem> so, if vncserver allows me to connect , but upon connection it's just a gray screen.  I thik this means the window manager is not functioning, right ?
[02:49] <sarnold> or perhaps it is running and no clients have been configured to start?
[02:49] <sarnold> I never really got the hang of vnc things
[02:49] <theorem> hmm, I just ran gnome-session
[02:49] <theorem> /usr/libexec/gnome-session-binary: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags
[02:49] <theorem> seems like a library problem
[02:50] <crax23> that;s probably because it started a secondary X session theorem.
[02:50] <crax23> Bad vnc server configuration i think.
[02:50] <theorem> hmm, ok.
[02:50] <theorem> the library problem isn't a normal error though
[02:51] <theorem> I'll tweak the vncserver conf though
[02:51] <sarnold> that sounds a bit like it's trying to run wayland
[02:52] <theorem> yes, it was working ok before .. but I think I broke something ...
[02:52] <sarnold> does that work? I heard pipewire things were introduced to try to make wayland deal with recording and remote sessions and the like
[02:52] <sarnold> ah
[02:52] <theorem> should it not run wayland ?
[02:52] <pinkergloop> yo
[02:52] <pinkergloop> so i'm on ubuntu studio 22.10
[02:53] <pinkergloop> i still have the weird issue with my desktop (plasma) from yesterday where everything desktop-related freezes but existing apps still run
[02:53] <theorem> here's the config https://pastebin.com/0Q8nATwz
[02:53] <pinkergloop> let me post the logs
[02:54] <sarnold> theorem: is the missing # at the start an accident in pasting?
[02:54] <theorem> yes, paste error
[02:54] <theorem> the shebang is there
[02:54] <pinkergloop> https://pastebin.com/G0HQX2pj
[02:54] <pinkergloop> i have no idea what to do as of rn
[02:55] <sarnold> theorem: there's two calls to gnome-session -- I'd expect only one of those to be necessary. I don't know what exactly gnome-session is supposed to do, but I think I'd expect it to be responsible for starting the panel, shell, etc
[02:55] <sarnold> theorem: it's a bit weird that metacity is listed, too -- I thought that was replaced by gnome-shell?
[02:56] <theorem> I hacked it together
[02:56] <theorem> and it worked , so I left it :-P
[02:56] <sarnold> hehe :)
[02:56] <theorem> but, it doesn't work now
[02:56] <theorem> so .. there's that
[02:56] <theorem> :)
[02:56] <theorem> I'll remove metacity
[02:57] <sarnold> pinkergloop: sheesh, that's pretty hard to decipher :(
[02:58] <theorem> interesting
[02:58] <theorem> yes, it must be this library problem
[02:58] <theorem> because I am getting it with xfce4 too
[02:59] <theorem> xfce4-session: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags
[02:59] <pinkergloop> sarnold: oh damn :/
[03:00] <pinkergloop> what could be the cause of the whole "binding loop" thing?
[03:01] <pinkergloop> the one theory that i do have is it MIGHT be a graphics card driver thing
[03:04] <theorem> hmm, so this has to be a library issue.  the gtk3 lib must have this symbol
[03:05] <theorem> I suppose I could find the source package that installed it wih apt
[03:06] <pinkergloop> idk though, isn't the rx 6950 xt supposed to work out of box?
[03:07] <sarnold> theorem: oo check this last comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1960737
[03:08] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 1960737 in gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3-0/gtk-query-immodules-3.0: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags" [Undecided, Invalid]
[03:08] <sarnold> pinkergloop: I'm no expert on video stuff but that sounds pretty plausible, yeah
[03:09] <theorem> sarnold: checking
[03:09] <pinkergloop> theorem: tysm
[03:10] <theorem> sarnold: oh, that saouds very plausible, I did have the amdgpu drivers installed, I thought I removed all of them
[03:11] <theorem> they have all been disabled .. but I do have them ...
[03:12] <theorem> so I suspect I need to upgrade them ..
[03:12] <pinkergloop> theorem: i never installed them tbh because i was under the impression that ubuntu came with them. only problem is that on the amd website, rx 6950 xt drivers seem to be only for up to 22.04 but i'm on 22.10. would that be an issue?
[03:13] <theorem> pinkergloop: you chatting to sarnold ?
[03:13] <pinkergloop> theorem: oh wait nvm somehow i missed what he said to you and thought he was calling you for help loool
[03:14] <pinkergloop> sarnold: but yeah
[03:14] <pinkergloop> my complete mistake
[03:14] <theorem> ;-P  all good
[03:18] <theorem> sarnold: so, rather than upgrade, it looks like I installed it by file
[03:18] <theorem> how do I just ... remove it ?
[03:19] <theorem> eg: deb https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu/22.10.2/ubuntu focal main
[03:19] <theorem> whoops, wrong paste
[03:19] <sarnold> theorem: maybe apt install --reinstall <packagename> ?
[03:20] <theorem> # deb [trusted=yes] file:/var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local/ ./ # disabled on upgrade to bionic
[03:20] <theorem> this is how I installed it
[03:20] <theorem> the files are around
[03:20] <theorem> but I don't want to add the dist back to apt
[03:20] <theorem> I should be able to use dpkg yo remove it ?

[03:40] <sarnold> theorem: sweet!
[03:42] <theorem> ohhhhhhh yes.  it look sso much better :)
[03:42] <theorem> it was such a bitch to setup vncserver the first time
[03:43] <sarnold> hah yeah taht's the impression I always get whenever someone debugs it into working :)
[03:43] <theorem> now ... I WOULD like it to look like the standard Ubuntu desktop
[03:43] <theorem> you said something about metacity before
[03:43] <theorem> what should it be instead ?
[03:44] <theorem> I had a bunch of stuff crash as it started properly
[03:44] <theorem> ( from the xstartup, so it's ok )

[03:49] <sarnold> oh no :(
[03:52] <theorem> woo.

Everything is in full working order but, when I lower the lid and then reopen, it goes stuck in airplane mode and there is no way to get out of it. This happens both with battery or powered. Could please anyone support me? I tried already some guide on google but it didnt work unfortunately
[17:09] <user521> thaks a lot
[17:10] <mister_m> I have a laptop where I've used gnome-tweaks to swap caps lock and control for accessibility reasons. Unfortunately, if I plug in an external keyboard where this is not necessary the re-map would also apply to the external keyboard. Is anyone aware of a way to have this caps/ctrl swap only apply to my laptop's keyboard and nothing external? I imagine I'd need to do this outside of gnome-tweaks.

[21:11] <Elliria> I write and edit it in Geany text editor, but I'd like to see the result.
[21:12] <rbox> behave?
[21:12] <rbox> what result
[21:12] <Elliria> You can create interactive elements with YAML and I'd like to see them.
[21:12] <rbox> use your eyes?
[21:12] <jhutchins> Elliria: Most web browsers will render yaml.
[21:13] <jhutchins> Elliria: What's your end application?
[21:13] <Elliria> GitHub, but I'd love an offline viewer so I can perfect the code offline and them only put it onto GitHub once I like it.
[21:13] <Elliria> You're a rude person rbox.
[21:15] <Habbie> Elliria, what kind of interactive elements do you mean?
[21:16] <jhutchins> Elliria: GitHub doesn't render YAML, so I'm presuming the actuall end viewer is in fact a web browser.  Maybe you didn't know web browsers can render local files?
[21:16] <Elliria> Checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.
[21:16] <Habbie> Elliria, ok, that doesn't sound like "just YAML" but some specific application that uses it
[21:17] <Elliria> GitHub uses YAML for their new issue templates: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/syntax-for-issue-forms

[22:42] <ubottu> jim: We have a built-in-house (but available to other distros) app.: Studio Controls is the application through which audio is configured in Ubuntu Studio. It configures Jack, sets the CPU governor, and ensures the user has realtime audio permissions. For more info, see !jack and https://ovenwerks.github.io/studio-controls/
[22:43] <jim> Eickmeyer, does ubumtu studio (sp) have ardour? and/or, could I build it?
[22:43] <Eickmeyer> Yes, Ardour is included.
[22:44] <jim> ok, let's see.. I would start by installing ubuntu studio?
[22:44] <ravage> good first step :)
[22:44] <Eickmeyer> jim: Depends. You can either go the Ubuntu Studio .iso route or use any official flavor and use ubuntustudio-installer route.
[22:44] <Eickmeyer> !ubuntustudio-installer | jim
[22:44] <ubottu> jim: Ubuntu Studio Installer is an app that can be used to add Ubuntu Studio's benefits to an existing Ubuntu (or official flavor) installation, and/or add the !ubuntustudio-backports PPA. For more info, see https://ubuntustudio.org/ubuntu-studio-installer/
[22:45] <ravage> i would for the LTS release if you dont have any bleeding edge hardware
[22:45] <ravage> the ISO is the best way if you dont care about your current ubuntu installation of course
[22:45] <Eickmeyer> And if you don't mind the KDE Plasma desktop.
[22:45] <ravage> oh yeah
[22:46] <ravage> forgot about that :D
[22:46] <Eickmeyer> If you like other desktops, go to the flavor you like, then install ubuntustudio-installer and install everything that way.
[22:46] <jim> kde is fine as long as it works :)
[22:47] <jim> so this "official flavor" involves reinstalling linux?
[22:47] <kwak> What's a safe, easy, convenient and user-friendly way to wipe the data on a Ubuntu PC (with no concern for existing data) in preparation for handing its HDD over to someone who can't be trusted not to do forensics on the drive to access sensitive data?
[22:48] <Eickmeyer> !flavor | jim
[22:48] <ubottu> jim: 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
[22:48] <Habbie> kwak, HDD or SSD?
[22:48] <kwak> I honestly don't know!
[22:48] <kwak> It's a laptop.
[22:48] <ravage> jim: i would go with a clean installation if you already messed with the audio routing and installed stuff for it
[22:49] <Habbie> kwak, ah actually this one might work for both https://grok.lsu.edu/article.aspx?articleid=16716
[22:49] <kwak> Seems to be SSD.
[22:49] <Habbie> ah
[22:49] <Habbie> then click the first link in this article
[22:49] <Habbie> oh, that doesn't really cover Linux
=== mike is now known as Guest7939
[22:50] <Eickmeyer> jim: I agree with ravage. Sounds like the kxstudio (and cadence) stuff messed with your system, predictably.
[22:50] <Habbie> kwak, anyway, see if that hdparm method works - either it works and is pretty quick, or it fails and you can look further
[22:51] <kwak> Alright cool, I'll add that to the list of things to try.
[22:51] <kwak> Thanks pal. :)
[22:51] <Habbie> np, good luck :)
[22:51] <n9sgg> dd if=/dev/random # figure out the rest
[22:51] <jhutchins> Is the SATA erase considered DOD secure?
[22:52] <jhutchins> DBAN is.
[22:52] <jim> Eickmeyer, ravage, here's the problem, and why I'm in ubuntu now: I used to have a 4thGen i5, but the DSP started crapping out on it, so I decided to upgrade to a new cpu, and I thought, i7... so I got it, and it's a 12thGen i7, and intel says something like, "we added the driver to ubuntu, but other dists we'll get to another time"... so I'm sitting waiting in ubuntu until other dists get the driver
[22:52] <Habbie> jhutchins, on SSDs too?
[22:52] <jhutchins> Habbie: Which?
[22:52] <jim> so... I actually -do- have "bleeding edge" hardware... argh.
[22:52] <Habbie> jhutchins, is DBAN on SSDs considered DOD secure?
[22:53] <jhutchins> Yes.  It may not be the preferred method given the extensive writing, but it's acceptable.
[22:53] <ravage> jim: well. this is the Ubuntu support channel. we can only help with that :)
[22:53] <Habbie> ok, dban.org says "It cannot detect or erase SSDs "
[22:54] <Eickmeyer> jim: I haven't distro-hopped for about 5 years, so as you can tell, I'm pretty happy. :)
[22:54] <jim> really, if you want to avoid giving this person (that you don't trust) a "wiped" drive, I would suggest -not- giving him a drive you care about the contents of
[22:54] <jhutchins> Habbie: Sorry, I guess my knowledge is obsolete.
[22:54] <Habbie> jim, +100 to that
[22:55] <Habbie> jhutchins, i hoped to find that wikipedia was obsolete and dban.org was not, but i guess we both learned things today!
[22:55] <Habbie> because a few minutes ago i was actually going to suggest DBAN "because surely it handles SSDs too"
[22:55] <jim> ravage, yep, I get that...
[22:55] <jhutchins> I thought there was a way to run dban manually rather than just the boot method.
[22:56] <jhutchins> 'course my real knowledge of it goes back to two boot floppies.
[22:56] <Habbie> hehe
[22:56] <Habbie> i actually only learned about DBAN recently, browsing the list of offerings in netboot.xyz
[22:57] <jim> Eickmeyer, someday I'd tell you my story of why I picked debian 25 years ago... but that's kinda offtopic for here, and there's activity, so it's just noise
[22:57] <Habbie> (it was not what i needed at the time and netboot.xyz kindly provided another warning screen before it would boot it)
[22:58] <Eickmeyer> jim: Right. I hang out in #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntustudio-offtopic if you ever want to tell me stories. :)
[23:04] <jim> ok, thanks for letting me know... I installed that ubuntustudio-installer package, and now I get sound from youtube, so things are looking up
[23:07] <philipp64> ravage: found the problem. a dev had installed /etc/ld.so.conf.d/crypto.conf pointing to /usr/local/lib/libcrypto... with an openssl-3.0.x built without openssl-1.1.x compatbility API's enabled.
[23:08] <ravage> philipp64: great :)
[23:51] <lucas__> hello?
