[01:13] <Guest9> Hey there what should i use to get a simple website where i can up)download files and edit/delete files
[01:13] <rbox> "get a website"?
[01:14] <Guest9> I have a ubuntu server and i'd like to see those files from the same network via the ip and a port in the browser.
[01:15] <rbox> what files
[01:16] <Guest9> Server file
[01:16] <Guest9> Some files for other applications like crafty controller
[01:17] <Guest9> I took a look at filebrowser bould it seemed a bit conplex to so, so is there anything that is simple to install?
[01:17] <Guest9> rbox any ideas?
[01:18] <rbox> everything is going to be "complex"
[01:19] <Guest9> Hmm i see, i there something you could recommand me, where good beginner friendly guides are available?
[01:19] <rbox> well it sounds like you said you arealdy found somethign... so...
[01:19] <rbox> that
[01:29] <Guest9> curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebrowser/get/master/get.sh | bash

[01:29] <Guest9> filebrowser -r /path/to/your/files
[01:29] <Guest9> I should install it with this, but what do i have to use for the psth to your files psth?
[01:30] <Guest9> Now i got to this:
[01:30] <Guest9> https://filebrowser.org/installation
[01:30] <Guest9> curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebrowser/get/master/get.sh | bash

[05:35] <small> UGHHHH       are there any APT based distro's that DONT use over 1GB of memory?
[05:36] <arraybolt3> Lubuntu?
[05:36] <arraybolt3> Or if you don't care to stay in the Ubuntu ecosystem, Debian w/ IceWM, maybe.
[05:37] <arraybolt3> Keep in mind that with 1 GB of RAM, you'll have to make your app choices very carefully, no matter how light the distro is that you're using.
[05:43] <small> yea, im just sick of windows using 2GB of ram
[06:03] <arraybolt3> small: Ah, if you just want a small OS footprint to leave more room for your apps and work, then I'd try Lubuntu - it uses ~400-500 MB RAM for the base OS.
[06:03] <arraybolt3> *approximately 400-500 MB
[06:08] <small> alright
[06:19] <iKernel> Hi, how do I install a 32bit toolchain?
[06:24] <iKernel> installed crossbuild-essential-i386.
[06:58] <small> as i tried  vpup64   which is meant to be a puppy linux based off of ubuntu         but it does not contain the APT package manager, instead it uses vpm / XBPS
[07:05] <small__> at the moment im basing it off of LIVE USB first boot (as soon as xorg logs us in we open the system resource monitor (usually task manager or sysinfo or similar))
[07:11] <alkisg> small__: if you're planning the run a browser, the OS doesn't matter. The OS will take from 200 to 800 MB on boot, then the browser will need ANOTHER 2  GB.
[07:13] <alkisg> What makes a little difference is 32bit vs 64bit, but of course 32bit is deprecated in many distributions nowadays
[07:13] <small__> im planning on running IDE's + Java
[07:14] <small__> which are usually memory heavy
[07:14] <alkisg> IDEs is very general. E.g. vscode uses electron, i.e. a browser engine
[07:14] <alkisg> How much RAM do you have?
[07:15] <small__> eg, Intellij/Android Studio/VSCode (with Java extensions) usually take up 3+ GB
[07:15] <alkisg> Exactly, so spending a lot of time to save ~300MB from the OS isn't a big improvement
[07:15] <small__> i have 7.8GB usable and 3.9 GB used on Windows
[07:17] <small__> Microsoft Edge (114 MB), Antimalware Service Executable (148.5 MB), MprdVPN (158.3 MB), Discord (32 bit) (230 MB)
[07:17] <alkisg> Memory details are hard to get right; these apps use a lot of shared libs
[07:18] <small__> https://imgur.com/a/hWP83Oc
[07:19] <small__> plus FIrefox (612.7 MB)
[07:19] <small__> so 4.9 GB used out of 7,8 GB
[07:21] <small__> so i dont want to have the same issue on Ubuntu
[07:21] <small__> where its using half my RAM for seemingly no reason
[07:22] <alkisg> Why do you think there's no reason?
[07:22] <small__> well windows itself already uses over 2GB
[07:23] <alkisg> No, you're counting the RAM from the libraries that the other apps are using
[07:23] <alkisg> Anyway, similar things happen in ubuntu as well
[07:24] <alkisg> Ubuntu will use about 1 GB less RAM than Windows initially, then it will start loading libraries and end up using about the same amount of RAM
[07:24] <small__> aw
[07:28] <small__> is it safe to resize an NTFS partition in ubuntu/lubuntu
[07:28] <benl90> hello, I have silly question, https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/tunctl.8.html I use tunctl to create tun/tap interface, but after reboot, all tap interface is gone. Is there anyway to make persistant? Thank you
[07:29] <alkisg> small__: moving the right side of an ntfs partition is usually safe. Moving the left side, not so much
[07:30] <benl90> small__, yes and not for it. better not. https://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsresize
[07:31] <small__> can ntfsresize work on NTFS created by windows 10 and 11
[07:31] <nb-ben> small__: unless all you're doing is extending a partition like alkisg said, assume you could lose all of your data and back everything up
[07:31] <nb-ben> small__: regardless of what's doing it and how blessed the implementation is
[07:32] <benl90> small__, it can, just always backup your data...
[07:32] <small__> at the moment i dont really care if i loose any data on windows
[07:32] <small__> but i would like to avoid reinstalling it since doing so removed GRUB
[07:32] <small__> removes*
[07:33] <small__> eg if the NFTS partition becomes corrupted due to resizing it and needs to be reformatted via windows install
[07:33] <alkisg> If you're using UEFI, grub isn't removed; you can select your OS with the BIOS F12 "boot menu" key
[07:33] <alkisg> Then once you boot into ubuntu that way, it's easy to re-create the boot entry for it
[07:34] <small__> or rather, windows sets its boot manager as the main boot manager
[07:34] <alkisg> Yeah, that part is very easily amended under UEFI, no need for a live USB stick or anything
[07:34] <small__> ok
[07:36] <benl90> anyway regarding my question is anyone here have any idea?
[07:39] <kien> hi
[08:08] <benl90> hi?
[08:15] <lotuspsychj3> benl90: can we help you with something?
[08:19] <benl90> hello, I have silly question, https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/tunctl.8.html I use tunctl to create tun/tap interface, but after reboot, all tap interface is gone. Is there anyway to make persistant? Thank you
[08:19] <benl90> I ask about it before
[08:22] <lotuspsychj3> benl90: maybe this can help; https://superuser.com/questions/854401/how-to-make-tap-interfaces-persistent-after-reboot
[08:24] <benl90> Uhm, I already use that, but no avail, ubuntu already use netplan right, it ditch the interfaces
[08:26] <small__> hmm Slax seems to be useful i think, https://www.slax.org/
[08:27] <small__> the iso is only 278 MB
[08:28] <small__> "Slax provides FluxBox window manager already preconfigured for the most common tasks. Included is a Terminal emulator xterm, simple text editor scite and calculator galculator, as well as connection manager connman"
[08:28] <small__> "128 MB of RAM for desktop"
[08:29] <small__> and "Built on either Slackware or Debian, Slax allows you to take advantage of the vast ecosystem of each platform. With tens of thousands of prebuilt packages and applications readily available through the slackpkg (for Slackware) or apt (for Debian) command"
[08:29] <small__> sounds just what im looking for :D
[08:33] <small__> its a miracle slax exists considering Ubuntu and Debian's average size and memory usage o.o
[08:33]  * small__ parties
[08:34] <lotuspsychj3> not a discussion for here small__
[08:34] <small__> oki :)

[12:33] <WaV> I do not have any idea, no. I didn't scroll up to see that you had already asked. Apologies. FWIW it was at 5:45a in my timezone. Maybe a similar situation for many other people in here at this time. If no response, try again later in the day.
[12:34] <gebbione> yep indeed :) thank you anyway. Last time i had a very similar problem a guy from this channel helped but i didn't save his suggestions. I should. Every time i update the kernel or the drivers is a big gamble

[13:21] <x7upLime> Is it a bad idea to upgrade packages to lunar.. while on kinetic?
[13:23] <x7upLime> Because I did it.. now.. apt upgrade -y, forgetting I added the lunar universe repo for nasm 2.16
[13:23] <tomreyn> x7upLime: yes, bad idea
[13:23] <tomreyn> you can use backports or PPAs but don't mix repos from different releases
[13:24] <tomreyn> RaimondRaj: if you read what you wrote, you will notice this is just not enough info to help :-/
[13:37] <x7upLime> the upgrade ended while I was writing that last message.. I can see that there is no easy way to undo that, right?
[13:38] <x7upLime> I've got the list of what was installed upgraded in history.log.. Is there a reference on "what was installed before"?
[13:38] <tomreyn> x7upLime: /var/log/apt/ contains logs which list the last installed updates
[13:39] <tomreyn> you can remove the wrong apt repository, run    sudo apt update    and then   sudo apt install <package=version>    for every package you had upgraded
[13:40] <tomreyn> "version" need to be the version your current ubuntu release provides
[13:40] <tomreyn> the apt log or   apt policy <package>    will list that version
[13:41] <x7upLime> would something like "latest" work? or should I gather a list of versions
[13:41] <x7upLime> ..ok, so I'm looking for a way to list all currently supported versions of the packages that have been modified
[13:41] <tomreyn> i don't think "latest" would work
[13:42] <x7upLime> got it..
[13:43] <tomreyn> some of these downgrades will result in apt stating that this package has been changed to be "manually installed". for the packages where this happens, you should also run    sudo apt-mark auto <package>
[14:07] <sem> what is in /run and if I am backing up my system can I safely exclude it?
[14:08] <EriC^^> sem: typically yeah, there's a very small chance depending on what you have that it'll mess something up (if you exclude it or not) which is why its better to back up a system from a live usb when its not running
[14:09] <sem> Ok, I can abide by that
[14:10] <sem> if I am restoring a system from backup, will it matter if that backup did not include /run
[14:10] <EriC^^> no
[14:10] <sem> thanks!
[14:10] <EriC^^> no problem
[14:11] <sem> i am also planning on excluding /home/user/snap since those files were changing while backing up
[14:12] <sem> but if I am on a live cd, they should not change
[14:12] <sem> and there might be user settings in there so I should back it up
[14:20] <EriC^^> yeah
[14:26] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:33] <Lantizia> how do you add knowledge of monitors?
[14:34] <Lantizia> i.e. if you boot a fresh install and get 'unknown monitor' and the max res it thinks that 'unknown monitor' is incorrect... and certainly not the native res.   I'm NOT asking how to change res or manually override it for one user account... but how (at a global system-wide level) would I teach it of that monitor, so it can automatically pick the right res?
[14:39] <x7upLime> It took a while.. But I ultimately got a long list of package=version 0x0.st/HrMa.sh
[14:39] <x7upLime> I downgraded one package by hand as a test.. and now apt tells me I have to autoremove stuff.. I'm afraid..
[14:39] <x7upLime> most of them seem like inoffensive stuff
[14:54] <x7upLime> tomreyn: I think I saved it, thank you :)

[15:34] <FKAShinobi> I am migrating from an old hdd to a new sdd. My last step was moving the swap space. I created the new partition and updated fstab. After rebooting, Ubuntu sent some error reports, but shows active swap on the new ssd via /proc/swaps.
[15:34] <FKAShinobi> How do I know if there is a real problem?
[15:35] <Alpie> leftyfb: sure
[15:41] <FKAShinobi> will update-grub also scan for other OSes and add them? I have recently removed a few old OSes and want grub to rescan and refresh it's menu.
[15:41] <_8lurry> I just set-up an openvpn server following this: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-openvpn

[15:42] <_8lurry> except when I set "proto tcp" on the server config, the systemd process fails to restart
[15:43] <_8lurry> s/systemd/vpnserver process using systemctl
[15:43] <_8lurry> what should I do?
[15:44] <FKAShinobi> 8lurry: I don't think you want TCP. Run it as UDP.
[15:44] <FKAShinobi> Your TCP applications will run over UDP vpn
[15:45] <DynamiteDan> greetings. How do I build ubuntu packages from source? I know there is a sequence of commands that allow that but I don't seem to be able to find. Thanks in advance
[15:45] <latef02> hello iwant run programmes from dmenu in  dwm suckless but with root because lot of software need sudo to execute like gparted and timeshift any solution please
[15:46] <_8lurry> my client fails with TLS Error. I thought it could be a reason for the proto (my reasoning for this is that my client has a shared ip)
[15:46] <_8lurry> so I thought I better try with tcp
[15:47] <oerheks> latef02, basicly running programs as root is bad, gparted and timeshift are systemtools, so they should run as root.

[16:03] <ioria> ok
[16:24] <FKAShinobi> 8lurry: Sounds like a cert problem. Make sure the server has that client cert so that it's authorized.

[17:09] <gebbione> well the kernels 6 were installed and indeed this was booting up
[17:09] <gebbione> i deleted kernels 6 but obviously incorrectly and now the system does not boot
[17:10] <oerheks> One should open a fresh bugreport, this one is from 21.10
[17:10] <gebbione> i am editing it from a USB installation, i am trying to fix https://askubuntu.com/a/48516 but it is giving me some errors
[17:10] <oerheks> and i see no hardware specs...
[17:11] <oerheks> if you have UEFI, disable secureboot?
[17:12] <leftyfb> gebbione: you should try to mount/bind mount your OS, chroot into it and --reinstall the linux-generic-hwe-22.04 kernel
[17:12] <gebbione> yes the next step i m trying
[17:13] <gebbione> it is already installed
[17:13] <gebbione> i m going to show you the output if i try to run the updateramfs step
[17:13] <alonso> .

[17:15] <hermano> Using nouveau drivers with following combination of HW: Gigabyte B760 Gaming X AX DDR4 / ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 8GB DUAL OC
[17:16] <gebbione> so i shall reboot and check UEFI settings in the firmware?
[17:16] <hermano> Everytime I try the latest nvidia driver, after reboot the graphic resolution degradates and throws me back to use the motherboard build-in graphic.
[17:16] <gebbione> hermano, i think i tried them but was not great
[17:16] <leftyfb> hermano: don't try the latest nvidia driver. Try a different one
[17:16] <gebbione> i also experience a lot of problems with the nvidia drivers
[17:16] <hermano> leftyfb, like some previous in the list?
[17:17] <gebbione> i tried previous ones too
[17:17] <gebbione> but i guess my problem is the oem kernel
[17:17] <hermano> Ok, so is there a solution I can find some stability? I would be able also to activate nvidias fan control.
[17:19] <gebbione> leaftype, i am in the boot loader, under Boot -> I See security option and it says System. I can change it to Setup. Is this the option i should try?

[17:27] <eelstrebor> i was just reading about apt-key being deprecated - it sure is a lot of work to convert the .asc file to .pgp - what's the best way to fix this security issue for apt?

[17:34] <eelstrebor> looking at it now.  there was a mention of a Deb822 file at one website
[17:35] <eelstrebor> still looks like a lot of work
[17:36] <backthen3> Hi, the 'star' option doesn't appear when I right click a file/folder. On U22.04.1
[17:40] <ViatonWidz[m]> eelstrebor: apt can use .asc keys just fine. Just drop them in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d or /usr/share/keyrings. If latter, you have to add a Signed-By stanza with path to .asc in source fragment.

[17:48] <Guest97> i did do release upgrade from 22.04 to 22.10
[17:48] <Guest97> when is 23.04 coming
[17:48] <Guest97> april?
[17:48] <arraybolt3> Yes.
[17:48] <Guest97> its lts?
[17:48] <arraybolt3> The version numbers are date-based.
[17:48] <arraybolt3> LTS releases are every two years, so no.
[17:49] <arraybolt3> 24.04 will be the next LTS.
[17:49] <leftyfb> !mm.yy | Guest97
[17:49] <leftyfb> !yy.mm | Guest97
[17:49] <Guest97> oh ok
[18:30] <gebbione> leftyfb, i have reinstalled the inux-generic-hwe-22.04 kernel. should i try to updateramfs ?
[18:31] <arraybolt3> gebbione: I think if you install a new kernel, it will update the initramfs'es for you, but there's likely no harm in doing it manually to be sure.
[18:38] <gebbione> is the 5.15.0-60-generic the argument i need to pass to updateramfs ?
[18:38] <gebbione> its name is not the same as the package linux-generic-hwe-22.04
[18:39] <leftyfb> gebbione: did you install/reinstall the hwe kernel?
[18:40] <gebbione> leftyfb, "reinstall"
[18:40] <leftyfb> gebbione: then why are you running updateramfs?
[18:41] <gebbione> because i don't know if it was needed and indeed i was following https://askubuntu.com/a/48516 ...
[18:41] <gebbione> should i try to reboot now?
[18:41] <leftyfb> it's not
[18:41] <leftyfb> yes
[18:41] <gebbione> i mean i still might have driver problems
[18:41] <gebbione> i ll try to run nvidia-smi
[18:41] <leftyfb> gebbione: install/updating kernels will run updateramfs as needed. You never need to run it manually
[18:41] <leftyfb> no
[18:42] <leftyfb> gebbione: fix 1 problem at a time
[18:42] <gebbione> thank you for confirming...
[18:42] <gebbione> i ll reboot
[18:44] <gebbione> still booting to the same error
[18:44] <leftyfb> gebbione: pastebin or screenshot the error
[18:44] <gebbione> VFS: unable to mount root fs
[18:45] <arraybolt3> gebbione: That sounds like a ramdisk problem.
[18:45] <arraybolt3> One moment...
[18:46] <leftyfb> no, it sounds like something is seriously wrong with kernel installation/files missing
[18:46] <leftyfb> arraybolt3: that error is VERY common when you have a broken grub/kernel
[18:47] <leftyfb> and has absolutely nothing to do with a ramdisk issue. That's a symptom, not the problem
[18:47] <leftyfb> gebbione: if it were me, the choices would be to --reinstall every kernel you have files for. If that doesn't work, then reinstall the OS and restore from backup
[18:49] <gebbione> do you need an exact screenshot? the error is the one on the title here https://askubuntu.com/questions/41930/kernel-panic-not-syncing-vfs-unable-to-mount-root-fs-on-unknown-block0-0
[18:49] <gebbione> i m typing from one system whilst the other is stuck
[18:49] <leftyfb> it's a generic error message
[18:50] <arraybolt3> leftyfb: True, but it's because the kernel can't find the ramdisk, for instance if GRUB is broken, yes, or if you're hitting an out-of-memory error in GRUB, or if you have weird settings that borked your ramdisk. That's why I said it sounds like a ramdisk problem, because that's what the kernel can't find. I guess the problem is probably elsewhere though.
[18:50] <arraybolt3> We're on the same track, we just used different terminology and my terminology wasn't quite accurate :P
[18:50] <leftyfb> it is
[18:51] <gebbione> i removed the nomodeset instruction from grub
[18:51] <gebbione> would that cause this?
[18:51] <gebbione> i guess not but just trying
[18:51] <arraybolt3> gebbione: Easily, if you accidentally changed something else in the /etc/default.grub file.
[18:51] <leftyfb> gebbione: you have a broken kernel/package somewhere. Start with my suggestion above
[18:51] <arraybolt3> */etc/default/grub I mean
[18:52] <arraybolt3> But yeah, I'd start with leftyfb's suggestion of reinstalling kernel packages.
[18:55] <gebbione> here is the screenshot https://pasteboard.co/qW9y9FGbMrjc.jpg
[18:55] <gebbione> i see it is still looking for 6.0.0
[18:55] <gebbione> but i removed that
[18:55] <gebbione> and don't want to use it
[18:56] <leftyfb> reinstall it
[18:56] <gebbione> i think it is causing problems with the nvidia driver
[18:56] <leftyfb> do you want to "fix" your nvidia driver or do you want your system to boot?
[18:57] <gebbione> well ... i have to do both eventually... once it boots what do i do to revert to an older kernel? can't i do it now?
[18:57] <leftyfb> a properly installed nvidia driver does you no good if you can't boot. You need to focus on the task at hand which is fixing the kernel issue and booting your OS
[18:57] <leftyfb> 1 problem at a time
[18:57] <leftyfb> not 2
[19:00] <jhutchins> Unlike windows, a linux system can run without the GUI.  The GUI is essentially just an application running on top of the OS.
[19:02] <ravage> windows can run without a GUI. but OT..
[19:09] <arraybolt3> OK, this may be a silly question, but why does it seem like some setups can do apt upgrades faster than others? On my main system, the unpacking and setup of the various packages takes a tiny bit per package. VMs are the same. schroot containers, on the other hand, are lightning-fast, way faster than my physical system (yet on the same hardware!), and updates with KDE neon are slllllooooooowww.
[19:09] <arraybolt3> loowowwowllsslow.
[19:09] <arraybolt3> What about the various different setups may cause speed differences like this?
[19:09] <arraybolt3> (I know KDE neon isn't supported here, it's just an example of the speed discrepency I've been noticing.)
[19:10] <leftyfb> CPU, memory, cache, SSD vs HD, disk speed, network speed ...
[19:10] <arraybolt3> I know that, but these are updates on the exact same physical hardware, after the download has already occurred.
[19:11] <arraybolt3> The OS (Ubuntu Unity) on my laptop upgrades medium-fast, schroots upgrade lightning-fast, LXD containers, I believe, upgrade fast, VMs medium-fast, certain VMs slow. As if apt is somehow using different amounts of CPU power for each usecase for some reason
[19:11] <arraybolt3> All of this on the same laptop.
[19:12] <oerheks> updates are different, so i wonder what you need to know?
[19:12] <leftyfb> number of packages/repos/files on your OS maybe
[19:12] <arraybolt3> Anyway, this is more out of curiosity, maybe #ubuntu-discuss would have been a better place for this.
[19:12] <leftyfb> was this (slow) OS upgraded from a previous release?
[19:13] <arraybolt3> oerheks: It's the time it takes to unpack each package. Obviously a system with more packages on it will take longer to upgrade than one with less, but the individual packages seem to take longer to unpack (or shorter).
[19:13] <arraybolt3> leftyfb: Nope, all clean installs.
[19:13] <gebbione> should i install linux-headers-oem-22.04b ?
[19:15] <leftyfb> gebbione: you should do only what was suggested. reinstall the kernel packages you have installed or partially installed (file still around). Do not go installing anything else. I would suggest on the next boot after doing all this, boot to the HWE kernel
[19:15] <oerheks> +1 HWE
[19:16] <oerheks> oem works for non-lts, AFAIK
[19:17] <leftyfb> I would not suggest booting the oem kernel. I can almost guarantee the HWE kernel will boot if there's not something else broken
[19:18] <gebbione> leftyfb, i am running the system off a usb pen, a live cd and chroming ... not sure what to reinstall other than the kernel that is erroring in that boot sequence in the screenshot
[19:19] <gebbione> so i assume the error "not tainted" above here ... https://pasteboard.co/qW9y9FGbMrjc.jpg is because the kernel war removed
[19:19] <leftyfb> gebbione: at this point, I think your quickest, easiest and cleanest option is to reinstall your OS and restore your files from backup
[19:21] <oerheks> gebbione, you seem to have an old bios version F14
[19:21] <oerheks> install F15 from 2023-1-12
[19:21] <oerheks> but i guess this has been asked before..
[19:22] <oerheks> without the proper bios, no way telling what goes wrong.
[19:23] <leftyfb> oerheks: it was working before. While that might be an ation to perform later to maybe improve some things, I can almost guarantee it's not going to solve the current problem
[19:24] <gebbione> but also re-installing is quite drastic
[19:25] <leftyfb> it's being realistic on the times it's going to take to troubleshoot this
[19:25] <leftyfb> s/times/time
[19:25] <oerheks> it was working before? i read him the 3rd day now ...
[19:26] <gebbione> i have just reinstalled that kernel -> linux-headers-oem-22.04b (6.0.0.1011.11) - isn't this what it is referring to about the not tainted  line doing my boot sequence/error ?
[19:26] <leftyfb> gebbione: you've been at this for 3 days. A reinstall will take under and hour
[19:27] <gebbione> no, i have just removed the kernels a few hours ago
[19:27] <gebbione> yesterday i could not use my second screen most likely because of the kernel vs driver conflict
[19:28] <gebbione> re-installing will not fix the screen problem if it goes back to using this kernel and the latest nvidia driver
[19:28] <gebbione> but obviously i don't know how to just revert to an older kernel
[19:28] <leftyfb> gebbione: step #1 is getting your machine to boot, not fixing nvidia/screen drivers
[19:28] <gebbione> and so broke the boot
[19:35] <Jeremy31> What gcc is that oem kernel compiled with?
[19:40] <terran_> every program that I compile, first line of output when I run it is "segmentation fault" on both GCC and Clang
[19:41] <arraybolt3> Are these programs you wrote yourself?
[19:41] <arraybolt3> terran_: ^
[19:41] <terran_> any program all are "segmentation fault" i looked up in GDB and it says something about cannot find the libraries
[19:42] <terran_> I re-installed OS, same output
[19:42] <arraybolt3> Yes, I know, but I don't know if these "any programs" are all your own creations, or source code you downloaded from the Internet.
[19:42] <leftyfb> terran_: so if you run "ls" or "nano" you get a segfault?
[19:42] <terran_> they are my own
[19:42] <arraybolt3> Then you're probably making coding errors.
[19:42] <arraybolt3> Those are off-topic here, but if you care to share code I might be able to spot what's happening.
[19:42] <terran_> there are no coding errors! like I said, any program all programs
[19:42] <leftyfb> terran_: sorry, but we cannot support 3rd party applications here
[19:43] <leftyfb> terran_: so if you run "ls" or "nano" you get a segfault?
[19:43] <terran_> I don't know what ls or nano is
[19:43] <arraybolt3> Those are both terminal commands.
[19:43] <arraybolt3> nano is a terminal text editor, ls shows the contents of a directory.
[19:43] <leftyfb> terran_: you can write and compile your own applications and don't know what ls or nano are?
[19:44] <FKAShinobi> I'm using monit to monitor services. Is there a way to suppress alerts for services not being active during a reboot / shutdown / startup? While monit does have an option to suppress the "instance changed" alert, I get alerts for all the services it monitors.
[19:44] <arraybolt3> leftyfb: Hey, I was there once, coming from Windows.
[19:44] <leftyfb> terran_: what release of ubuntu is this?
[19:44] <terran_> ohh what you are asking: I wrote these programs, they are just hello, world though
[19:44] <terran_> 22.10 mate
[19:44] <leftyfb> terran_: can you open a terminal?
[19:44] <terran_> only the programs I wrote seg fault. Not other programs
[19:44] <arraybolt3> terran_: Ah. Sadly, programs written by a third party (in this instance you) are n't supported here. However, I'd be willing to help in a different channel (or in DMs).
[19:45] <arraybolt3> "Segmentation fault" means you tried to write to memory that you didn't allocate yet.
[19:45] <leftyfb> terran_: I would suggest seeking support in a channel dedicated to the language you are writing your applications in
[19:45] <arraybolt3> So you might have missed a "malloc()" somewhere, or perhaps miscalculated how much memory you needed to allocate.
[19:45] <morgan-u2> oh thanks for that arraybolt3
[19:46] <tomreyn> FKAShinobi: i know next to nothing about monit, but generally, when you planfully put a service out of operation during a maintenance (which can include a reboot), you'd file a maintenance period, disabling alerting during this period. maybe monit has a similar concept?
[19:56] <FKAShinobi> tomreyn: Is there a way to have monitd stopped first in the shutdown process? I've added a delay to the monitoring at startup so that should solve the other half.
[20:00] <gebbione> leftyfb, it is not booting but reinstalling is a massive pain. I guess i will leave it broken for now until i can find a solution
[20:00] <tomreyn> FKAShinobi: i don't really know. chances are you could update its service dependencies so that it is stopped earlier than other services. but i'm just speculating. have you checked their documentation to see whether they suggest how to handle this situation? after all, this is likely a more common scenario.
[20:01] <FKAShinobi> tomreyn: I'm looking through it now, and surprisingly I don't see anything listed for this scenario.
[20:01] <FKAShinobi> In my mind, this would be default behavior
[20:03] <tomreyn> FKAShinobi: looks like you could issue "unmonitor all" just before shutting down and then "monitor all" upon reboot.
[20:04] <FKAShinobi> tomreyn: Yes, I'm looking how to inject these scripts into the startup / shutdown process now.
[20:05] <FKAShinobi> Or maybe add the services it monitors to the monitd dependencies? But then if a services fails to start, I also have no monitoring... It's a good problem to learn more about systemd :)
[20:06] <tomreyn> you might actually end up replacing it by systemd
[20:20] <morgan-u2> Question: I want to run windows in a VM and can I use Win11 or win10?)
[20:21] <morgan-u2> I am a VM beginner and the itsfoss page says that it depends on which exact version of win10 - and that is "too much"
[20:21] <morgan-u2> for me
[20:25] <oerheks> morgan-u2, maybe. it all depends on your HW specs and how much o f them are reserved.
[20:27] <tomreyn> morgan-u2: qemu-kvm generally provides all that is needed to run either.
[20:28] <arraybolt3> Windows 11 can present some challenges becaues of its requirements of UEFI Secure Boot and a TPM, but those can be worked around or you can just provide them in the VM. But Windows 10 is probably going to be easier.
[20:58] <GayAssLiker> Hey guyz

[20:59] <GayAssLiker> Noobs
[20:59] <GayAssLiker> ubottu your mom is retard
[21:10] <torbjorn_> can I configure a static route on my local network without linking it to a specific interface? I
[21:10] <torbjorn_> 'd like to hvae that route even if I unplug my ethernet and use wifi
[21:10] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: add the route to the config of each interface
[21:11] <torbjorn_> gah ok
[21:16] <torbjorn_> can I use netplan yaml files to add the static route to an interface, but otherwise not change its defaults?
[21:16] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: define defaults. Where are these "defaults" configured if not in netplan?
[21:18] <torbjorn_> I dont know, but I think in NetworkManager. The only netplan yaml file till now that I think I have (looking in {lib,etc and run}/netplan) only says in a comment to let NetworkManager all devices on this system
[21:19] <torbjorn_> and lists NetworkManager as a renderer in a minimal config that otherwise says nothing
[21:19] <torbjorn_> (except version)
[21:20] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: you use NM or netplan, not both. It sounds like you should just set your static routes in Network Manager
[21:20] <torbjorn_> leftyfb: I tried that, using nmcli, but its not persistent after reboot
[21:20] <torbjorn_> I thought I
[21:20] <leftyfb> don't use nmcli
[21:20] <leftyfb> use the GUI
[21:20] <torbjorn_> i feel 20 years too old
[21:22] <torbjorn_> surely network managment cant have evolved into this mess on purpose
[21:22] <leftyfb> what mess?
[21:22] <leftyfb> just use the GUI and add your routes
[21:23] <torbjorn_> well im not in front of the machine just now, but id like to fix it just now
[21:23] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: run nm-connection-editor over ssh -X
[21:24] <torbjorn_> mess = netplan seems to be the new hot thing to (yet again) solve it all wrt network managment. yet i should go back to networkmanager even if countless examples on line showcases how netplan can configure network using networkmanager as a renderer
[21:24] <torbjorn_> I dont have X on this chromebook
[21:24] <leftyfb> then why are you using network manager?
[21:24] <torbjorn_> oh wait I do
[21:25] <torbjorn_> leftyfb: I dont know what Im using, said so in the start of this conversation. I configured the system during intsall, using inputs from the installer gui, and now I
[21:25] <arraybolt3> AFAIK Netplan is for servers and is really complex, NetworkManager is for devices you use directly and is simpler and easier.
[21:25] <torbjorn_> m at his junction
[21:26] <leftyfb> I wouldn't say netplan is "Really complex"  but if you have a desktop GUI, you should be using NM or whatever network manager it has
[21:26] <torbjorn_> arraybolt3: I have netplan yaml files after a fairly standard desktop install
[21:26] <torbjorn_> leftyfb: cant i reach that config via the commandline somehow?
[21:26] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: use the GUI
[21:26] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: run nm-connection-editor over ssh -X
[21:27] <torbjorn_> i just really really want to configure it without a gui
[21:27] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: then why bother having a GUI desktop?
[21:27] <torbjorn_> it has its uses
[21:27] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: this is a 10 second change. Just ssh -X and run nm-connection-editor
[21:28] <oerheks> learn how to us nm-connection-editor
[21:28] <torbjorn_> it is now, but through time there has been countless times where i have had to configure things wo acces to a gui, id really like to know
[21:28] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: in this case, you're asking how to configure something that is managed by a GUI application
[21:28] <torbjorn_> well it has to live in files somewhere
[21:29] <arraybolt3> leftyfb: Not to be annoying, but surely there has to be *some* way to configure this over a TUI, right? I mean NetworkManager can be used without a GUI.
[21:29] <arraybolt3> The GUI may be easier here, but I can understand wanting to avoid the GUI for learning purposes.
[21:29] <leftyfb> torbjorn_: feel free to edit the files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
[21:29] <leftyfb> good luck
[21:29] <leftyfb> they're not meant to be edited directly
[21:29] <arraybolt3> I wonder if nmtui could do this.
[21:29] <leftyfb> it's quicker and easier to just use the GUI that you instaled
[21:30] <arraybolt3> torbjorn_: Try nmtui, it lets you edit things in a GUI-like interface without having a GUI.
[21:30] <torbjorn_> thanks, those are perfect, no luck necessary
[21:30] <arraybolt3> It has routing options in it over here.
[21:30] <torbjorn_> arraybolt3: thanks, that is a solution too
[21:31] <oerheks> lucas says yes https://lukas.zapletalovi.com/posts/2019/set-the-default-route-via-nmcli/
[21:34] <torbjorn_> oerheks: I did that but the change was not persistent over reboots. It may have been because I modified the interface and not the connection, trying that now
[21:36] <oerheks> ' without linking it to a specific interface' is of no use
[21:37] <torbjorn_> it already is linked to an interface, as would be the normal behavriour I imagine for any fairly straightforward ubuntu install
[21:37] <torbjorn_> (I have a normal functioning network setup, just want to modify it with a static route in addition)

[22:36] <Alexion> Hello! I am using Lubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. I was writing a bootable live USB flash drive using MultiWriter and I got an error during the process. After that, the USB flash drive is not shown as a block device anymore and also fdisk doesn't show the device as /dev/sdb/. I'm not able to mount the device either. What can I do so I can use my USB flash drive again?
[22:36] <rbox> unplug adn replug it
[22:37] <ravage> it is also possible that it is just broken
[22:37] <Alexion> already tried it
[22:37] <rbox> what errors are in dmesg when you plug it in
[22:46] <Alexion> rbox:when I run dmesg, I get a very long output. How can I grep so I can find what am I looking for?
[22:47] <rbox> theres nothing to grep
[22:47] <rbox> and i said when you plug it in
[22:47] <rbox> look at dmesg before you plug it in
[22:47] <rbox> look at it after
[22:47] <rbox> there will only be a handful of lines
[22:52] <EriC^^> Alexion: you could try 'sudo dmesg -w' and plug it in and see
[22:52] <EriC^^> also 'sudo udevadm monitor' might help
[22:52] <Jeremy31> Alexion: run this in terminal before plugging it in> sudo dmesg -w
[22:52] <EriC^^> Alexion: also try a different usb port
[22:52] <Jeremy31> That will show what is happening/not happening
[22:53] <Fondor1> Hi all, trying to get Gkeys working on a Logitech G15 keyboard in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Using `xev`, been trying to track down keycodes, but it looks like something in the UI intercepts a few of them befpre `xev` even sees it. Specifically, my G5 key, when pressed, launches system settings. There is no shortcut set to launch that in the settings). Any
[22:53] <Fondor1> suggestions as to why the UI is intercepting some of these, and how I can modify them?
[22:53] <Alexion> EriC^^:already tried
[22:54] <Alexion> rbox:useless because it's too much output, I can't tell the difference just by looking
[22:54] <arraybolt3> Fondor1: Does it use a Logitech Unifying receiver?
[22:54] <arraybolt3> Alexion: Try this. Remove the drive, then "sudo dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" and share the link. Then insert the drive, and run the same command again and share that link.
[22:54] <Fondor1> arraybolt3: Nope, it's an old fashioned USB.
[22:55] <arraybolt3> (The command spits out a link.)
[22:55] <EriC^^> Alexion: dmesg -w will let you watch in realtime
[22:55] <arraybolt3> Alexion: That will let us look at it, we might be able to see what's going on.
[22:56] <arraybolt3> Fondor1: Hmm. Crud, I don't know what do to there then :P Unifying receivers can be fiddled with via Solaar and you can do various tricks with the keyboard there, but an old-fashioned receiver, not sure.
[22:56] <Alexion> Jeremy31 , EriC^^ : I ran sudo dmesg -w , and again I get lots of output to scroll up, and I have to hit Ctrl+C to exit the command
[22:57] <arraybolt3> Alexion: The output that it shows when you first run the command doesn't matter. What matters is the output you get immediately after inserting the drive.
[22:57] <EriC^^> Alexion: after you run dmesg -w, then insert the usb, the new msg if any will pop up at the bottom
[22:57] <arraybolt3> You don't have to scroll up at all. Ignore everything that prints when you first run the command, only pay attention to what appears afteri nserting the USB.
[22:57] <arraybolt3> *after inserting
[22:57] <Fondor1> arraybolt3: to be clear, this is a wired USB keyboard, there is no receiver at all.
[22:58] <arraybolt3> Oh. lol, I may be a bit used to modern technology :P
[22:58] <EriC^^> Fondor1: maybe it shows up in 'xinput' ?
[22:58] <arraybolt3> (Not that wired isn't modern, just I sorta assumed Logitech keyboard = wireless...)

[22:59] <EriC^^> !paste | Alexion
[23:00] <EriC^^> for the future
[23:01] <Alexion> https://dpaste.com/3RELW8RPC
[23:02] <Alexion> EriC^^: I did how you suggested, and now I just pasted what the output was after connecting the drive
[23:02] <Fondor1> EriC^^: The keyboard itself shows up in xinput, yes. It also works for most things using a standard US keyboard layout. It's only the extra G keys that are a challenge, hence the question
[23:03] <EriC^^> Fondor1: yeah, thought they might be separate there and worth investigating
[23:03] <saman> hi
[23:03] <EriC^^> hello saman
[23:03] <saman> can you help me
[23:03] <EriC^^> !ask | saman
[23:05] <Alexion> EriC^^: any idea why does it output this without me removing the drive from USB?
[23:05] <Alexion> [ 7198.647664] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Media removed, stopped polling
[23:08] <EriC^^> Alexion: did you try restarting and see if it works?
[23:12] <Alexion> EriC^^: yes, I did restart, but useless
[23:13] <EriC^^> Alexion: try reinserting again and then if it's also /dev/sdb run 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress' to zero it out, incase that helps, but it might be that the usb is just shot at this point
[23:15] <Fondor1> Curious, so I get a warning when running `xinput` that it's running in Xwayland. Read up on the man page for xinput which tells me I should be using the Xwayland default device configuration tool (not familiar with what that would be). That made me think however that this might be something to do with Xwayland being a middleman here and not passing
[23:15] <Fondor1> some things onto xev for capture. Is there an equivalent command for native Wayland?
[23:15] <Alexion> EriC^^: I reinserted the drive, ran again fdisk -l , but the drive is not shown
[23:15] <EriC^^> Alexion: what does 'sudo blkid /dev/sdb' give?
[23:16] <EriC^^> or anything in "lsblk"?
[23:16] <Alexion> sudo blkid /dev/sdb   - doesn't output anything
[23:17] <Alexion> lsblk shows the sdb disk with 0 Bytes
[23:17] <EriC^^> if you're sure sdb is the usb then try to zero it out
[23:18] <Alexion> yes I am sure
[23:18] <EriC^^> ok run "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress && sync"
[23:19] <Alexion> dd: failed to open '/dev/sdb': No medium found
[23:19] <Alexion> this is what I get
[23:19] <EriC^^> it might be toast
[23:19] <Alexion> :-(
[23:20] <EriC^^> at least no data loss
[23:21] <Alexion> EriC^^: no data lost, I backed up the important data on the computer, before trying to write the live Linux USB
[23:22] <Alexion> is it of any use trying the drive on a different computer? with Windows maybe?
[23:22] <EriC^^> Alexion: what do you need the live usb for? if you dont have another usb you could possibly boot the iso from grub to do what you need
[23:22] <EriC^^> Alexion: yeah why not
[23:23] <Alexion> EriC^^: I wanted to try Tiny Core Linux and decide if I want to install it on the computer
[23:23] <Alexion> I read that it can be ran from USB drive
[23:26] <EriC^^> i see
[23:28] <EriC^^> Alexion: try it in a vm maybe?
[23:29] <Alexion> this is an old machine, I don't have enough resources for VM
[23:30] <Alexion> that's why I installed Lubuntu in the first place, and looking to install Tiny Core Linux, the reason I was writing it on the USB flash drive
[23:30] <Alexion> the drive isn't shown in KDE Partition Manager either
[23:31] <Alexion> but the HDD is shown
[23:31] <EriC^^> i see
[23:32] <Fondor1> Well, still not sure what my issue is with the keypresses but I'm going to reboot into a live session and see if I can't make some headway there. There is technically an equivalent Wayland keypress capture called `wev`, but it's apparently not compatible with whatever is installed by default in Ubuntu. Thanks for the help EriC^^ and arraybolt3
[23:36] <EriC^^> Fondor1: interesting, no problem
[23:38] <EriC^^> Alexion: do you have any unallocated space by any chance in the hdd?
[23:39] <Alexion> EriC^^: I don't think so
[23:39] <Alexion> why?
[23:49] <EriC^^> Alexion: if you want to just try it out abit maybe you could use grub to boot the iso https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot#Menuentry_Example
[23:50] <EriC^^> i was trying it on my machine right now but it stopped cause the kernel only supports 32bit cpu's, i had to replace in the example linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz with linux (loop)/boot/vmlinuz but that's as far as i got
[23:56] <Alexion> my laptop is old, but still it has a 64-bit CPU
[23:56] <topcat001> Alexion: have you considered Ventoy? If you're reusing a drive for multiple isos then it is quite handy.
[23:57] <EriC^^> ah i think i downloaded the 32bit version, seems they have a different 64bit one
