[00:23] Is it normal for /etc/apt/preferences.d to be empty? [00:27] kwak: yes [00:27] yes. [00:28] Ok. === xenial is now known as Guest7170 === five61843 is now known as five6184 [01:38] I'm using Ubuntu, and a popup appeared while running sudo apt-get upgrade. Given that Ubuntu stupidly accepts your keypress as a popup selection without any grace period whatsoever, I of course hit space and made a selection. After that, apt-get upgrade started throwing "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returend an error code (1)" errors. What was the popup?

[01:57] anyone actively helping atm? [01:57] no [01:57] roger that [01:59] I tried digging around on bug tracker and forums but couldnt find anything that could help (probably because wording it somewhat difficult) [02:15] bump.. === [[R]] is now known as rbox [02:22] hi === ubuntu is now known as Guest6796 [02:22] ok [02:22] hi === chris14_ is now known as chris14 === docmax is now known as Guest6236 === docmax_ is now known as docmax [02:44] which is the most installed ide on ubuntu? [02:45] vim [02:46] "ide" is kind of a badly defined term [02:46] of course, that's just a guess, since many would install it to edit configuration files, too [02:46] and there are no public statistics for ubuntu [02:47] thanks, which do you guess are the 3 most popular? [02:48] hmm, ok then .. [02:48] so, I have an install of ubuntu on a USB drive [02:48] it was bootable, but now, it is not, it's no longer an option in my grub startup menu [02:49] I suspect that grub has removed it as a startup option as the system has gone through a kernel update and skipped inbluding the device in the grub changes. [02:49] grym: why? [02:49] I'd like to boot the USB device again -- and using it like a 'live cd' like I was using it as before. [02:49] what do I need to do with grub, or the USB drive to boot it ? [02:50] (non UEFI ) [02:51] puba: there's a continuum from "barebones text editor" to "giant big IDE tool", and where you draw the line between them isn't something there's universal consensus on [02:52] hey folks, I am trying to setup a strongswan vpn using the vpn settings gui in ubuntu 22.04, I am getting received proposals: ESP:AES_GCM_16_256/NO_EXT_SEQ, to which my connection does not seem configured to receive [02:52] but can't find where to configure it [02:53] it seems older versions provided a setting to add special ike/esp configuration to the VPN tunnel but that option is gone in 22.04 [02:54] grym: ok thanks, so, where do most programmers using ubuntu do their coding? (top 3 guess) [02:54] puba: in which languages [02:54] does anyone know how to add that proposal to my vpn setting? [02:55] grym: oksay python [02:55] puba: pycharm or vscode are both quite populare [02:55] esv: "proposals attributes in swanctl.conf": https://docs.strongswan.org/docs/5.9/config/IKEv2CipherSuites.html [02:56] ok, thanks === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [02:57] puba: i write a lot of python; i use pycharm and emacs, most often [02:57] grym: thanks, and which is a good lightweight one? [02:58] puba: i guess vscode? see this is where it gets to that "nobody agrees" part [02:59] pycharm isn't in the softwarecenter [03:00] i see thonny eric [03:00] so? [03:00] thonny is an interesting little tool; useful for teaching, but less so for "real work" [03:00] esv: if this is a site-to-site vpn with a proprietary / hosted counterpart claiming "strongswan compatible", i recommend also studying the documentation of the counter part, just because much can go wrong and it's not rare that little implementation details (such as "oh and this is actually not supported" or "oh and we actually handle this differently") can make the difference between you living a happy life and going nuts, especially if you [03:00] need to coordinate about this with another party managing the remote. [03:01] puba: snap search pycharm [03:01] pycharm's snap can get a little weird [03:02] getting community off of jetbrains directly is more reliable [03:02] what do you think of eric? [03:02] grym: sure, though that would be unsupported here [03:03] leftyfb: so? :P [03:03] puba: I think we should take this conversation to #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic [03:03] tomreyn, yeah, the guide I am following does not seem to account for nothing [03:04] grym: we tend to recommend software that is from the official ubuntu repo's so we can help with them if there's problems [03:04] okk thanks [04:25] hi im tring to inaall tsurugi linux os on my laptop the 2023 beta iso and i keep getting a grub error so it installs but then when i try to boot it it boots into the grub command line and i keep trying to trouble shoot it but theres not a lot of info on tsurugi linux and i can boot into it if i run super grub2 on a usb and search for my os°s and then i can run it properly [04:26] santa5324: you'll need to seek support from "tsurugi linux". We can only support Ubuntu and the official flavors here. [04:27] if anyone can help me id really appreciate it thank you [04:27] it is ran with ubuntu [04:27] santa5324: sorry, but it is not an official release of ubuntu and cannot be supported here. Please seek support from tsurugi linux [04:29] Unofficial derivatives of Ubuntu frequently apply customizations that we aren't equipped to handle, thus why we ask that questions about them be taken elsewhere. [04:30] santa5324: good luck [04:35] I need to pin my php installation to 8.1. My puppet logs indicates that I am installing php8.1. But then my composer install run fails because php8.2 is deployed, rather than 8.1. These is no evidence in the logs that php8.2 is installed. Somehow it is being inadvertently upgraded in the background. Any ideas on why that might be? or at least how it is I can pin php at 8.1 and preventing this [04:35] upgrade? [04:36] ymd: unattended-upgrades might be biting you. Are you using apt pinning? === seer__ is now known as morganlady === morganlady is now known as morganu === morganu is now known as morgan_u [04:36] ymd: Also, what version of Ubuntu are you on? [04:38] ymd: php8.2 isn't available on any ubuntu releases. Remove the custom repository you have for php8.2 [04:38] totally new problem. screencapture is borked and I have one square light spot on my screen and nothing happens when I invoke screenshot and I dont know what to do to reset it. [04:38] ymd: then you don't have to pin 8.1 as that is the default [04:38] yes, apt-get under the hood. no, but believe I need to pin this. I have only used pinning a couple of times, but it has been years. Can you give me a clue, please to get me started? preferably a cli invocation I can easily automate? is there a tool I can use for this purpose? [04:39] ah, thanks, leftyfb. I am using an upstream repo. I will try that. [04:39] ymd: (uname -a ; cat /etc/os-release ) | nc termbin.com 9999 [04:41] arraybolt3, leftyfb : https://termbin.com/uvqfc [04:41] nice trick with nc. Had not seen that before. [04:42] ymd: Is there a reason you have to use the upstream repo? [04:42] php is in the Main repo in Ubuntu, so it will get backported security updates. [04:42] Unless you need *features* from a newer version, the version in Ubuntu should do what you need. [04:42] ymd: php8.1 isn't available in Ubuntu 20.04 [04:42] you should upgrade to 22.04 [04:42] Oh, didn't realize this was Focal. My bad. === mayal is now known as milol === mayal is now known as milol [06:05] does anyone know offhand how to rebuild kernel modules for nvidia on ubuntu?

[06:27] that is ubuntu [06:27] terminal question [06:28] why am i having that error trying to use snap [06:31] dont worry it fixed itself [06:31] hassletime: the message seems to indicate that an installation of the discord package is already taking place [06:32] yea ...took 1 hour lol [06:32] hassletime: how did you solve it then? [06:32] something wasnt right ...but it got there [06:32] i didnt [06:32] it solved itself [06:32] lol [06:32] i just tired again and it worked :) [06:32] computer magic! [06:32] strange but true [06:32] lol [06:33] some type of witchcraft no doubt [06:33] :P [06:33] glad i didn't have to help with snap [06:33] ^5 [06:33] where ya from tomreyn [06:33] ? [06:34] an internet near you. i prefer to keep it completely topical here. [06:34] oh ok no worries fair [06:34] australia here [06:34] :) [06:35] there are other ubuntu channels, if you're interested: [06:35] !alis [06:35] Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see «/msg Alis help list» or ask in #libera - Example usage: «/msg Alis list http» [06:35] any you recommand [06:36] not really. ;) [06:36] haha [06:36] well there ya have [06:36] i get most answers asking here so no biggy [06:37] has snap been around a long time? [06:37] or is it something added in the last few years? [06:38] it's been added to the desktop in the past years [06:38] sorry, i got to get some stuff organized, bbl, but there are others here if you have more questions. [06:45] tomreyn, got another question for you [06:46] hassletime: tomreyn had to leave for a bit, but I'm available at the moment. [06:46] in the applications folder,there isnt a firefox shortcut to add to the desktop [06:46] arraybolt3, thanks [06:47] hassletime: By "applications folder", do you mean /usr/share/applications? [06:47] yes sirt [06:47] sir [06:47] That's probably because Firefox is a Snap in Ubuntu 22.04. Lemme see if I can find where it actually will be. [06:47] thank you [06:48] hassletime: Look at /snap/firefox/current/firefox.desktop, that's probably what you're looking for. [06:49] ok thanks looking [06:50] yep that works [06:50] but... [06:50] there is no icon its like a blank [06:51] like a blank txt file type thingy [06:51] hassletime: I'm guessing you just copied the file from its original location to the desktop? [06:51] that i did [06:51] If so, I think I know why it's doing that. [06:51] ok [06:52] The .desktop file references a file "/default256.png", which is at /snap/firefox/current/default256.png. I believe the desktop file is correct for within the Snap, but now that it's outside the Snap, you may need to tweak it. [06:52] Can you open the .desktop file in a text editor? [06:53] yes [06:54] OK, look for the "Icon" entry in it. [06:54] ok [06:55] When you find it, change it from 'Icon=/default256.png' to 'Icon=/snap/firefox/current/default256.png', and then save and close. [06:57] it doesnt give me the save option [06:57] you are trying to save on a read only disk [06:57] hassletime: You're editing the one on your desktop, not the one in the /snap/firefox/current folder itself, right? [06:57] hassletime: Ah, you opened the wrong one. [06:58] hassletime: Edit the one that you copied to your desktop, not the one in the Snap itself. [06:58] scratches head [06:58] ok [06:58] (Snaps are contained in compressed squashfs files that are read-only, so you can't modify files inside a Snap. But you should be able to modify files that you copied from a Snap onto the main filesystem.) [06:59] you are right [06:59] and i now have a icon [06:59] its crazy you know this lol [07:00] hassletime: :P I do a lot of this stuff in my free time. [07:04] crazy!! [07:10] arraybolt3, you still about [07:13] hassletime: Yep. [07:13] ok here we go [07:13] you know the files icon that is on the dock window thingy [07:14] Yeah. [07:14] (I assume you're talking about the bar on the left side of the screen when you say "dock window thingy".) [07:14] how do i get that as a shortcut on the desktop and change the icon to a computer ...lol [07:14] correct lol [07:15] Hmm, that's a good question. Hang on just a moment... [07:15] ...ok this might take a few moments, I'm using a different flavor of Ubuntu on my main computer and am booting up a VM to check this. [07:16] ok [07:16] :) [07:16] OK, I see how to change an icon, lemme just find a computer-looking icon now. [07:16] ok :P [07:19] OK, got it! [07:19] Alright, there should be a "Home" icon on your desktop by default, yes? [07:19] hahah!!!! [07:19] correct [07:19] hassletime: OK, right click that, then click Properties. [07:19] yep [07:19] Now you'll see the folder icon in the big middle of the window - click it. [07:20] Now, you'll see "Select Custom Icon" pop up. [07:20] Click "Other Locations" in the left sidebar. [07:20] Now double-click "Computer" (it should have a / at the far right). [07:20] ok looking [07:20] You should see folders like "bin", "boot", etc. once you're in the right place. [07:21] yep im in there [07:21] OK, now double-click "usr" (near the bottom of the screen). [07:21] Then "share". [07:21] Scroll down to find "icons" and double-click that next. [07:22] yep [07:22] Then "Yaru". [07:22] yep [07:22] Then "32x32". [07:22] "devices". [07:22] computer.png [07:22] Once you double-click that, the icon will be selected. [07:22] Now it won't automatcially change. [07:23] ok [07:23] To get it to change, you'll need to get the desktop to refresh, and so far the easiest way I know to do that is to log out and log back in. [07:23] Once you're logged in, you should see the new icon in place. [07:23] ok [07:23] doing that [07:24] woot woot [07:24] \o/ [07:24] worked like a charm [07:24] AMAZING!!! [07:25] !cookie | arraybolt3 [07:25] arraybolt3: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [07:25] ^...points ...your good you are...you..your ...good [07:25] If you want, you can also remove the Files app from your dock or whatever it's called. [07:25] ok [07:26] hassletime: lol, glad I'm able to help. You can just right-click the folder icon in the dock and click "Remove from favorites" to get rid of it. [07:26] oerheks: nom nom [07:27] it gone now.. [07:27] :P [07:27] And that should probably have done what you wanted by moving it to the desktop and making it look like a computer. In the event you decide that having it in the dock is more convenient, you can open the Application Menu, search for "Files", then right-click it and click "Add to favorites", I believe. [07:27] Yeah that works. [07:27] (And there's even a way to make it look like a computer in the dock, I believe.) [07:28] awesome mate thanks heaps ...this has been fun ... [07:28] ill have more things i would like to do tomorrow ...on lets help hassle [07:28] off to dinner at the sisters now :) [07:28] o/ Nice, see you later! [07:29] thanks again !!! talk soon arraybolt3 :) [07:29] :) [07:29] (Note that I may not be here next time, but usually someone will be.)

No idea what happend, I wish I knew.. === jeroen_ is now known as jeronimo === VlA is now known as VIA [11:38] Hi [11:38] I am using linux for the first time in my life. I bought a dedicated server and installed the Ubuntu 20.04 desktop LTS distribution in it. local system is windows. I created a user in linux and I added it to the sudo group. While I can paste something I copied from windows to the terminal or mousepad in the root user, I cannot do this in the other [11:38] user I created. [11:42] anybody here ? [11:42] what error message do you get? [11:43] webchat30: are you still here? :) [11:44] I am not getting any errors. I can't just paste from local machine to linux or from linux to local machine. but i can copy paste in linux [11:45] so, you're running a virtual linux host, or it's a separeate computer? [11:45] you need to use a terminal program to log in to the linux host from your windows box [11:46] putty or some such [11:46] I rented a separate computer with its own hardware specs via hetzner.com [11:47] How are you getting there? [11:47] im using bitvise [11:49] i am using Bitvise SSH client for connection [11:49] bvterm? [11:50] no xterm [11:51] cut and paste on xterm is usually done with middle button on your mouse [11:51] (if you have 3) [11:51] sometimes depressing the scroll wheel doubles for it [11:52] select a region with left button, paste it with middle button [11:54] but the problem is that in root user i can paste text from local system with ctrl+shift C/V. but the user I created and added to the sudo group I can't do that either [11:54] I think there is a problem with permissions [11:57] permissions and cut/paste are separate issues, generally [11:58] Yes i can't understand what the problem is [11:58] When I searched, no one had this problem. [11:59] cut and paste are handled by the host OS. windows in your case. [11:59] you're running a terminal program on windows to get into the unix host [11:59] Why can the root user copy paste while the added user cant? [11:59] as such - the problem lies with windows [12:00] reasonable question - it must have something to do with the terminal program [12:00] and settings that it has. [12:01] I'm not familiar with bitvise - I use openssh and iTerm2 from my mac, which is always consistent [12:02] I've used ubuntu as a desktop OS too, which uses the mouse for cut and paste, and only some applications implement the control C/V stuff [12:02] in fact, the cut/copy/paste buffer in X11 is very differently implemented than on windows [12:02] Yes, I thought the problem was with the computer. I connected to the server with another computer and it had the same problem. root can copy paste but user cannot. [12:02] same situation [12:03] Hmmmm [12:03] describe to me what you mean by connecting to the server please [12:03] how are you doing that? [12:04] connect to seperate computer [12:05] how do you connect to the server? [12:05] with bitvise ssh client [12:07] what protocol? are you using ssh or x11 desktop? [12:08] sorry i don't know that i'm a bit of an old man :D [12:09] ok - so when you connect, do you get a login screen, or do you just get a # or $ prompt? [12:10] there is a login screen [12:10] How do I instruct linux on which kernel module to load for a specific device? [12:11] I need to use the non-stock driver for this usb nic. The one provided with ubuntu has stability issues. [12:15] Why might it be caused? bedman [12:15] so that's an x11 implementation... [12:16] there could be a bazilion things up with that... it's probably the last thing you're going to check tho :-p [12:18] Thank you for your time, I will continue to research [12:22] bhechinger, blacklist the existing module in /etc/modules-load.d/ https://askubuntu.com/questions/110341/how-to-blacklist-kernel-modules ... then force the one you want via adding it to /etc/modules [12:22] bhechinger, you might want to run update-initramfs too if you need the module before login during boot [12:23] Need it for a system started VM so it may not be a terrible idea to have it in the initramfs. Thanks ogra! [13:24] Hi all === nomicon_ is now known as nomicon [13:32] really thought no one been using this anymore === shann_ is now known as shann [13:35] hi. added user to users group. new terminal or login shell with bash -l : groups does not show new group. what's missing? [13:37] same question here [13:37] deadrom: i don't know, but try newgrp? [13:41] how do I get rid of an instanced systemd service? e.g. I want to get rid of myservice@foo, but not myservice@ or myservice@bar [13:42] does opensuse still works? === zibolo_ is now known as zibolo [13:58] !ot | mlvn [13:58] mlvn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:10] mlvn, did it ever? :D [14:11] tomreyn, that seems hackish of sorts dunnit? [14:12] like crowbaring a temp thing in [14:14] deadrom: it will take effect next time you log in. For existing sessions, you can run newgrp users to get a shell with that group membership in effect [14:15] that was easier in the past. much longer chain from kernel bottom to the X top these days [14:16] deadrom: the kernel has nothing to do with it. This has always been how it's worked. If you change group settings for a logged in user, they won't take affect until you log out and back in [14:17] in the past, couple years back, spawning a new login session would do it. bash -l <- shell with new group [14:20] running bash -l does not log you in, never has [14:20] nor out [14:20] deadrom: that is just plain wrong [14:21] a login shell invokes the login process [14:21] that's what -l does [14:21] no, it doesn't [14:21] well then tell the maintainers their manpage is wrong [14:21] the shell reads some different files on startup with the -l option, but that's about it [14:27] ah. could have been that was a profile nicety in another dist I used back then. ok ok. but then newgrp or reboot are my only options? [14:28] reboot is a bit harsh. Just logging out and back in again will suffice === s8n5 is now known as s8n [14:49] could well be I did all this so long ago that it was on Slackware with manual startx. that would explain my crude notion about X and login. well. [14:52] Good afternoon channel [14:52] Just a confirmation that I'm not failing my searches: there isn't a packaged version of the Horde webmail suite for Ubuntu 20.04? === antonio is now known as nyilas [14:54] lblume: pretty sure that is a dead project. It has seen a single commit in 2 years. Their website's last release was almost 9 years ago [14:56] sorry, the latest release on their site is from almost 6 years ago [14:57] lblume: the quick answer is, horde is not an available package in the official Ubuntu repos, more than likely due to the reasons above [14:59] deadrom: when logging in on a virtual console, login(1) is the process that sets up a new session, then invokes the login shell listed in passwd. For graphical log in, gdm (or lightdm, kdm or whichever) is the one that does that [15:00] leftyfb: *sigh* You're probably right, it's still not fun to migrate :( [15:00] But thanks anyway:) [15:44] what is the preferred application for audio / video editing? [15:46] FKAShinobi: Depends on who you ask. [15:46] FKAShinobi: Which are you editing? [15:48] jhutchins: Both, I want to edit some home movies, I've ripped from VHS. That will include audio and video. I may hook up my guitar to my machine at some point later on. [15:49] FKAShinobi: It's ultimately a matter of personal preference. I personally use Audacity for audio editing and Kdenlive for video. [15:50] Some people like Shotcut for video editing, and Ardour is supposedly good for audio editing too (though in my experience it can be tricky to work with as it's a full Digital Audio Workstation and not just an audio editor). [15:50] If you want an extreme solution that gives you pretty much everything you could ever hope to have for digital creativity, you could also install Ubuntu Studio. [15:51] It's specifically designed for professional video, audio, graphics, etc. work. [15:51] (It doesn't come with every single possible app preinstalled, but the number of apps it does come with is mindblowing.) [15:51] arraybolt3: I was thinking of installing it because of the low latency kernel. Guitarix wasn't working well with the standard Ubuntu install. [15:52] From what I've read, that should really help. [15:52] If you don't want to dual-boot and are OK with transforming your whole current install into Ubuntu Studio, there's an Ubuntu Studio Installer that you can try using on your existing install of Ubuntu. [15:52] Does Kdenlive install all the KDE environment, or does it work with gnome? [15:53] attempting to install kdenlive on my gnome system wants to install 269 packages [15:53] It will install quite a few KDE libraries and whatnot, but it should work with GNOME. You won't have to do anything drastic like switch DE. [15:54] (You can run GNOME apps on KDE and vice versa, you'll just have to install a lot of the DE-related dependencies for the "other DE" if you do so. That shouldn't cause trouble though.) [15:54] FKAShinobi: There's also an official Kdenlive AppImage. [15:54] So why doesn't ubuntu just use the low latency kernel from Ubuntu studio? Did they strip out too much? [15:55] The low latency kernel has some tradeoffs. [15:55] Basically the generic kernel does everything as fast as possible even if it means delaying some things to get other things done. [15:55] The low latency kernel tries to avoid delays at the expense of doing overall work slower. [15:55] TL;DR: Power usage. [15:56] FKAShinobi: Eickmeyer is the Ubuntu Studio flavor lead, so he'll know way more about this than I do. [15:57] The lower the latency, the higher the hardware to hardware throughput, and the higher the power usage. You wouldn't want to run it full-time on a laptop, and the generic kernel is meant to be just that: a generic kernel meant to be installed on as many devices as possible. [15:57] So Ubuntu Studio basically uses more power in order to avoid delays? [15:57] FKAShinobi: The lowlatency kernel does. [15:57] Ubuntu Studio != lowlatency kernel, that's just the default kernel installed. You can install the lowlatency kernel on any flavor of Ubuntu. [15:57] !ubuntustudio-installer [15:57] 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/ [15:58] Eickmeyer: so would I just get another boot option in grub? [15:59] FKAShinobi: Read it carefully. That's not what that says at all. [16:00] Unless you mean the kernel. Then, yes. [16:01] I'll check it out thanks! === pah is now known as p === p is now known as pa [16:33] can you list start times for a systemctl service?

[17:29] probably have no audio then? [17:30] and lose half the desktop ... pulse is pretty much a dependency of everythng desktop nowadays [17:30] you could perhaps try to switch to pipewire, depending on what release you are on [17:32] I suppose it depends on what you use on your desktop. Dependencies can be overridden. My audio is muted 95% of the time to prevent suprise outbursts. [17:36] in fact it is all desktop metapackages that depend on pulse nowadays ... [17:36] apt-cache rdepends pulseaudio|grep -c \\-desktop [17:36] 12 [17:37] and i'm pretty sure the desktop will mis-function (hang on login or being slow etc etc) if it does not find the pulse socket [17:38] This implies that an Ubuntu desktop can not be used by deaf people. [17:39] Why would applications that only deal with text balk at no audio? [17:39] Maybe we need some sane dependency clean-up. === lord_black is now known as lord_daemon [17:43] jhutchins, it is a decision of the various desktop envs (gnome made pulse a hard dependency ages ago ... kde too i think) ... why would deaf people bother about pulse at all ... it isnt like blind people uninstall the desktop UI either just because they can not see it, they still use the same apps you and I do [17:45] de-facto: guess you can do all of that by commenting out corresponding modules in default.pa [17:47] de-facto, what makes you think it is pulse at all ... randomly switching audio devices sunds more like a driver, alsa or kernel problem on the lower layer, not so much like somethig with the audio multiplexer daemon that sits on top [17:47] The rest of the desktop should not be held hostage if a minor convenience app like audio has a problem. [17:48] Just like the text-based OS should not fail just because the cartoons won't play. [17:49] jhutchins, well, you are free to create a desktop env without audio support ... the ones that exist hard depend on pulse ... and in newer iterations on pipewire ... not a decision ubuntu has made at all [17:49] Something Ubuntu could clean up if we chose. [17:50] if you have the money to pay maintaining a set of 100s of patches against all apps ... [17:50] (or find the community power to do it voluntary) [17:51] i dont think there are many people interested in it ... not even deaf people [17:51] but we're going far offtopic here ...

They suggested checking with the support team at Ubuntu. In some forums I notice the igc* driver is the intended one but that seems to be the driver in use. Any idea [21:39] how I can make the ethernet work? The cable works for a windows laptop so it's not a cable problem I assume [21:39] how am i going to do that [21:40] btw do i need to reboot after installed the rtl package u gave [21:40] eren: did the package install ok or is still giving: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [21:41] still returning same error sub process [21:42] errors were encountered proceccing rtw88 and rtl8821ce [21:42] ok, we need that full output [21:42] eren: copy and paste the whole terminal and paste it to https://dpaste.org/ [21:42] okay let me paste that somewhere [21:43] https://dpaste.org/Q1ufY [21:46] I'll be honest, I'm not sure at the moment [21:46] maybe someone else can chime in [21:46] i asked chatGPT xd and it didnt answer clearly [21:47] so what do you think is this about my usb? or driver,ubuntu... anything else [21:48] eren: problem #1 is your inability to install that package [21:48] okay let me try to fix that [21:51] eren: It might help if you were to un-install the packages that didn't work first, then try installing the new one.

[22:34] Elliria: Yeah, the manifest. [22:34] Elliria: 22.04 or 22.04.1? [22:34] Elliria: https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/ubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.manifest That's the list for 22.04.1. [22:35] I believe that's everything on the ISO by default. [22:35] I'm not sure. I'm trying to satisfy all dependencies for a program so that it can pass all of the GitHub tests. [22:35] Elliria: if you're going to test against Ubuntu, please run Ubuntu [22:35] I'd like the list to compare against the needs of my program so that I know what doesn't need to be required if it already comes with Ubuntu. [22:35] Keep in mind that the installation process removes some packages after the fact, so not all of those packages will necessarily be on a newly installed system, also upgrades at install time may change the package list. But that's about as close as you'll find to a single list. [22:35] GitHub is doing the tests. [22:36] Elliria: Just in case you missed it, the ISO manifest is linked above and has the list. [22:36] Elliria: that's a bit challenging to answer, the manifest files can help, and there's a seeded-in-ubuntu program that can help search where packages are seeded, eg: [22:36] ± seeded-in-ubuntu -b openssh-server [22:36] Ah, thank you. I did miss it. Thank you so much! [22:36] openssh-server is seeded in: [22:36] ubuntu-server: daily-live, daily-preinstalled [22:37] How would I get that manifest for 22.04? without the .1? [22:37] You probably don't want the non-.1 manifest since the original 22.04 ISO is considered obsolete. If you want it anyway though, I might be able to dig it out of archive.org. [22:38] Yeah, this is going to be messy. We're trying to upgrade the program from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04 without a lead developer. It's going to be ugly before it's pretty. [22:38] Might also be on old-releases.ubuntu.com...

[22:40] i don't find any way to install gconf2 [22:40] Mantaalex: The recommended way to install balenaEtcher is to just download the AppImage and use it. as is.

[23:33] stiva: you'll have to write a script to do them individually [23:34] thanks, i didnt want to loose what I have [23:34] theeprophet: that's what backups are for [23:34] theeprophet: your current OS is not adequate nor supported [23:34] @leftyfb: would defeat the purpose. I managed to find how to do it with wget but was getting 403's [23:35] stiva: neither of those tools are meant to scrape a website for particular links and download them for you [23:37] akik: ok, got the xfce-4 problem sorted, I changed .xsession file to gnome-session, and chmodded the file -- I can log in , the screen goes black (like gnome is starting) but it goes for a second then the rdp session closes (on my windows computer) heres the errors https://pasteboard.co/DZtzPk6PiC7G.png [23:38] i have a fireworks screen saver on here and wobbling window thing as I move the windows they wobble and I have it configured with windows like scheme [23:41] taholmes160: have you touched the dbus or systemd config about dbus? [23:42] no [23:42] i was just searching google for a solution to that -- [23:44] taholmes160: you could try reading the systemd journal messages "journalctl -b 0 | grep -i dbus | less" [23:44] maybe the problem can be found there [23:45] it's as if the dbus-daemon hasn't started correctly [23:47] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VTKJVXSPZZ/ [23:47] theres the logs, it seems that in at least some cases, dbus is running [23:47] but im NOT familiar with dbus at all -- so i cant say for sure
