andrew79Hello community, I have this very frustrating problem where my laptop's touchpad is not working as expected. During two-finger scrolling, the page will often jump/skip more than it should. I have tried several things like updating drivers and changing between xinput and synaptics drivers. But I'm not experienced in this type of debugging and could01:05
andrew79really appreciate if someone could help me out. I have followed instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection/evtest so I have an evtest logfile ready, as well as my xinput output. What would be the best way to share this (and the correct channel if this is not it)?01:05
Peppi^has anyone got rsync working pulling data from a windows machine01:38
HabbiePeppi^, i suspect people do - are you running into trouble?01:40
Peppi^Habbie, not yet just wanted to know what the proper way of doing it01:43
ShaunD69with the Ubuntu autoinstaller in 20.04 or 22.04, is there a way to get it to not use the random DUID when requesting DHCP lease? In the answerfile, settinh dhcp-identifier:mac doesn't work. I need to hand out static leases based on mac addresses for the installation. Alternately is there a way to get systemd-networkd to release the dhcp lease? Release functionality seems to be missing. I can't fix01:44
ShaunD69any of this on the braindead juniper dhcp server I must use that cannot match on things other than mac for static dhcp leases. I've been beating my head against the wall for the last couple of days. Googling has been unhelpful. I've seen others with similiar issues and no solution.01:44
HabbiePeppi^, ah01:47
HabbiePeppi^, honestly sounds like a windows question though01:47
Peppi^Habbie, well maybe the rsync client is on ubuntu so not so sure it's a 100% windows questions01:51
Habbiesure, but i feel the hard part is setting up rsyncd or sshd on windows01:51
Peppi^not sure hence why I was asking here also01:52
Habbieto be clear, i'm just trying to help you get the best answers - one step is getting your question clearer, another step might be "you should ask in another place"01:52
Peppi^appreciated01:52
Habbiegood :)01:53
Habbieso is your problem the ubuntu side or the windows side?01:53
Peppi^I mean windows does have "Windows Subsystem for Linux"... so01:53
Peppi^I just figured there might be a person here who uses rsync and has transfered files from a windows machine01:54
Peppi^the windows channel probably have a lot less people who have used rsync01:55
ravageThere is a rsync.exe for windows and you can install that as a service in Windows I think01:56
Peppi^for example if I went to windows and asked for a backup system I doubt rsync would crack top 10. VS here if I asked for a backup solution rsync is probably top 301:56
ravageBut that really is off topic here :)01:56
ravageYou can also have a look at cygwin01:57

cobraerikoI recently reinstalled latest Ubuntu on a fresh brand-new SSD drive. For about a week, my computer seemed a bit slower than it had been with the old drive that had the same Ubuntu release installed. When I would run a lot of processes (i.e., when many tabs were open on webbrowser), it would hang where it would not before. But for some reason,02:54
cobraerikolately it has seemingly become  very much faster or able to run the same process load without ever hanging at all. Yet I didn't change any settings. All I've done was apt update/upgrade. Does anyone know how this could be? Am I crazy?02:54
sarnoldcobraeriko: these machines do so much stuff in the background these days that it's entirely plausible to me that it'd be obnoxiously slow one day and reasonable enough the next day and there be no obvious reason for why02:58
cobraerikosarnold: very interesting03:00
cobraerikothat's good to know03:01
cobraerikoOne last question, I have a kvm virtual machine running in the background that serves a live website (a Ubuntu server with a web-app). Is it ok if I simply allow the host's Ubuntu to suspend in periods of inactivity instead of shitting down the  computer? It's worked for me so far03:13
sarnoldheh, yeah, if you don't really care about the website being up and running all the time that's fine03:14
cobraerikoCool. Thank you03:16
cobraerikoactually since I do care about the website being up and running all the time, I've just been letting the screen shutoff with inactivity (besides also closing any open apps and stuff before leaving). Is this fine?03:24
sarnoldyeah that's much better :)03:25
sarnoldit's not a bad idea to lock the screen manually when walking away from the computer03:25
cobraerikosarnold: yea, I'll add that too. Thanks again03:27

hiyahttps://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v6.2.1/ | Which mainline kernel should I select for T16 Gen1 AMD laptop with 6850U processor05:00
hiyaI installed the mainline kernel05:41
hiyabut I had to turn off the secureboot05:41
hiyaI see a lot of missing AMDGPU things when I do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade05:41
hiyahttps://paste.debian.net/plainh/6784760e05:44
hiyaThese are the set of missing firmwares05:44
Jazzy_Jhiya, try "apt install linux-firmware"05:51
hiyabut I am on mainline kernel now, would it break something? I had installed with secureboot with password and all05:51
hiyalinux-firmware is already the newest version (20220923.gitf09bebf3-0ubuntu1.4)05:52
Jazzy_Jhere are some possible options:  https://9to5answer.com/missing-firmware-for-amdgpu05:52
hiyaJazzy_J: but many files just aren't there05:55
hiyaI think they aren't needed only05:55
hiyaeven in the git link05:55
lolokit says there '*Possible* missing firmware' are you having any issues or only this message? because if theres no problem, this is safe to ignore06:11

hiyalolok: Yes, only the message I have the problem with06:47
hiyaI think these are those non-fatal informational messages06:47
lolokyes, they are telling you that the driver can run more different cards, if you find the firmware, but if all is good, then theres nothing to do assuming you only boot this os on 1 system06:57

hiyaDoes mainline kernel update by itself? or do I need to do it each time?07:05
lolokyea a very new cpu, unfortunately such problems are not uncommon on recent hardware, probably you can disable automatic sleep on lid close07:07

ogra!mainline10:45
ubottuThe kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds10:45
ograhiya, ^^^10:45
ogrado *not* use mainline PPA kernels in production !10:45
ogra(read the wiki page)10:46
hiyaogra: I am using it on my main laptop10:47
ograhiya, well, don't do that ... they are missing about 400 (security) patches, use the wrong config and are solely for testing (and as you noticed already tey will never update)10:48
ograif yu see issues in userspace, please do not ask for support here ... it is very likely caused by wrong or missing config options or patches in these kernels10:48
ograthey are really only for testing if some fix landed when a kernel team member asks you to install them to verify the fix is upstream ... you should never use them on a daily basis10:49
hiyaogra: Okay, I will see what I can do, I think I just need a rolling release then10:56
hiyaso I should just uninstall them and switch back to normal kernel10:58
hiyaogra: how to update the kernel in Ubuntu then? I have a new laptop and I need latest kernel11:00
hiyaShould I use a different distro?11:00
ograyou should check out the -hwe and -oem kernels if they provide what your hardware needs ... if it does not i fear waiting is your best option ..11:01
hiyaogra: I have a ThinkPad T16 Gen1 with AMD 6850U11:02
hiyaWhat kernel do you think is best?11:02
ograno idea11:02
ograyou could try asking the kernel team in #ubuntu-kernel ... but i suspec even them wont look closely at different laptop models unless they have specific bugs to fix for a certain machine11:03
hiyaOk11:04
ograwhat exacly does not work with the default kernel ?11:04
hiyaogra: AMDGPU driver crashes in between11:04
hiyaand wake up won't work most of the time when you close the lid11:05
ograwith the one shipped in the archive ?11:05
hiyaIt came without any OS11:05
ograwith which AMDGPU driver do you experience the crashes ?11:05
ograi.e. des it behave crashy right after fresh install of the OS ?11:06
hiyaYes, it always does11:06
ograor did you add some third-party amd driver11:06
hiyaI tried with 20.04,22.0411:06
hiyaNo 3rd party drivers11:06
alkisg[ 6878.377221] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#19 unaligned transfer, [ 6878.377223] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 6 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0, [ 6878.377227] Buffer I/O error on dev sr0, logical block 6, async page read11:07
alkisg===> I see these errors in many different PCs with Ubuntu 22.04, and on both the 5.19.0-32 and then 5.15.0-60 kernel. There is NO cdrom inserted when these messages appear. The result is that the PC is veeeery slow, similar to having 100% disk usage11:07
ograso first of all, file a bug with "ubuntu-bug linux" ... to make the kernel devs aware, else it will never get fixed ... but make sur you use the actual kernel, not the mainline one11:07
hiyaI think I have to move to 5.19.x again, but I have to reboot for it and enable secureboot again.11:07
alkisg...anyone else has seen this issue, any launchpad bugs for it?11:07
alkisgP.S. it probably started in the last kernel updates11:07
hiyaogra: I met a dev of Ubuntu in thinkpad chan, he also confirmed it, he said it would be fixed in 23.0411:08

ograhiya, wll, if you are brave you could run 23.04 🙂 it is already in feature-freeze11:09
hiyaogra: I am super duper brave always11:09
* alkisg realizes he should have posted in #ubuntu-kernel instead; heading there...11:09
ograalkisg, yeah, i have definitey not seen sr0 in any logs for a long time ....11:09

hiyaogra: so mainline kernel is by no means safe?11:10
Guest4777fuck you all11:11
Guest4777and your big boobed mums11:11
ograhiya, right, you will see issues in userspace due to missing config options and such ... like power-mgmt might not work, apps expecting certain features wil not find them and silently fail etc etc11:13
hiyaogra: I will move to default kernel again and try to move to 23.04 :P or just wait11:14
hiyaOr another distro, I thought Ubuntu was bleeding edge :P11:14
hiyaI am on 22.1011:14
ograhiya, get your system back into a pristine state, then "sudo do-release-update -d" should get you onto 23.0411:14
hiyabut I think it might break a lot of things, right?11:15
ograthere are surely still some rough edges, but the release is already in freeze, so the worst changes have landed and are just getting fixes for release now11:15
hiyaogra: When would it release?11:20
hiyaApril?11:20
ograhiya, in april (04) of this year (23) ... as the version number 23.04 tells 😉11:21
hiyaI think I should just bear until then11:21
hiyaI don't know but this mainline kernel is working solid11:22
hiya:P11:22
hiyaI tried 11,15,21m of sleep with lid closed and it opened every time11:22
alkisghiya: ubuntu 22.04 has up to kernels 6.1 in the stock repositories currently, that's higher than the 5.19 of 22.1011:40
ograoh, right linux-oem-22.04c should be 6.111:45
hiyathen why the heck am I using 22.10 ? :P11:45

lotuspsychjehiya: ogra just mentioned wich kernel11:58
hiyanope, I think which OEM does this kernel belong to?11:58
hiyaDell, HP?11:58
hiyaOr is it generic?11:58
alkisghiya: I didn't read all the converation, but if you just care about the highest kernel number, `apt install linux-oem-22.04` will give you linux-image-oem-22.04c11:59
alkisglinux-image-6.1.0-1006-oem11:59
hiyaI mean*11:59
hiyabut which OEM is it?11:59
hiyaDell, HP or Lenovo?11:59
lotuspsychjethats not how it works hiya12:00
ograall of them ... it carries random patches for OEM devices that will land in a later -gerneic kernel12:00
hiyaOk12:01
lotuspsychjesome brands will pick specific oem kernel versions for a reason too12:01
lotuspsychjelike dell has some specific ones12:01
ograthe -oem means it is done by the cannical oem team that works closer with vendors12:01
ograit doesnt mean "a specific OEM"12:01

dragon_Is there any open source library systems in Package Manager?18:31
leftyfbdragon_: can you provide more context?18:32
dragon_I work in a private library, historical society. We have a rather large collection of books, documents, pictures, ... that need registration. I am just wondering if Ubuntu is cooperating with any of the open source library systems18:33
dragon_So far we have these evergrowing spread sheets, exel18:34
dragon_They work quite well, but there is no proper dewey or anything like that. We have simplefied a bit, and made our own archiving categories18:35
dragon_This is a physical library, old books, new books, ....18:35
jhutchinsdragon_: Calibre is the only one I know of.18:36
leftyfbdragon_: I just searched apt: maybe look at tellico18:36
dragon_I shall take a look at Calibre, and have noticed evergreen too18:36
jhutchinsdragon_: They are a big, competitive business.  You might have some luck checking with systems that support law firms (law libraries).18:36
hggdhI have heard of vufind, but never used it18:37
jhutchins(Note that just because they're big commercial systems doesn't mean they're any good.  At all.18:37
tomreyndragon_: https://packages.ubuntu.com lets you search which ubuntu release provides a given software. i'm not familiar with open source library (management) systems, but there seem to be several, as seen on a web search for "library management software"18:37
dragon_I am new to the open source libaries too, hoping there are some equivalents to the public systems I am used to18:38
jhutchinsNote that "library" in the software community does not refer to a collection of books.18:38
dragon_I know, but I don`t know quite what it means either18:38
jhutchinsdragon_: Usually a collection of routines for use in writing programs.18:39
dragon_I see18:40
dragon_There are international standards for library systems (the paper and book kind, of course digital documents too). I hoped to find something that was flexible and manageable18:42
dragon_Calibre seems to be only e-books?18:43
tomreyni would think so, too18:43
jhutchinsdragon_: Hardcopy is a little harder, you have to enter all the metadata yourself.18:44
tomreynyou could possibly scan isbn's18:44
jhutchinstomreyn: I was going to do that with a CueCat, but I discoverd about a third of my most important collection doesn't have them.18:45
tomreynoh, that's a lot18:45
jhutchinsdragon_: Not sure what kind of organization you have, but it's worth hiring a library science student to help process them.18:46
jhutchinsI still have the CueCat... somewhere.18:46
dragon_I have typed down thousands of books manually over the last 18months, two years in may lol18:49
dragon_title, year, number of pages, category, author, publisher...18:49
dragon_I doubt it is possible to make it automatic in any practical way18:50
dragon_mark the books with tags and icons, print, tape.....18:51
jhutchinsdragon_: If I recall the CueCat project, you can get the catalog info from google with the ISBN.  There have been scripts that automated that.18:51
dragon_It is an older library that needed totally renovation18:51
dragon_I shall look into it18:51

blebcan I ask the ubuntu installer not to install a bootloader?19:25
blebthe custom installation dialog has a dropdown menu under "Device for boot loader installation:"19:26
blebbut it seems I have to pick one19:26
blebI would like to let my other linux partition handle the bootloader19:27
tomreynbleb: if this is an uefi booting system, the boot loader will be installed on the first (currently) visible efi system partition no matter what you choose there19:29
blebI suppose I can just re-install grub from the other partition after installing ubuntu19:29
tomreynthe desktop installer does not provide the ability to complete the installation without installing a boot loader.19:29
blebtomreyn: if I select my main disk and hit "install now" I get an error message saying "No EFI System Partition was found."19:30
blebso I guess it wants me to manually indicate the efi system partition (this is in the custom partitioning dialog)19:31
blebI have a 4gb fat32 partition that I am using for esp but it looks like the installer didn't pick it up automatically19:32
tomreynthis message probably means that no existing ESP could be found and that you will need to create one in manual partitioning (or have ubuntu create one automatically by not entering manual partitioning)19:32
EriC^^bleb: select the partition and for type choose efi19:33
blebI think I can just select the existing one and select "Use as: EFI System Partition"19:34
tomreyndoes your existing partition have the esp flag?19:34

blebtomreyn: can I check for that in fdisk or something?19:35

blebok yeah it doesn't have the esp flag19:38

rdzHey all. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 on a Thinkpad T14s Gen 3 and when I put it to sleep it still uses significant power. From what I understand, it performs suspend-to-idle when putting it to sleep, which apparently is different from suspend-to-ram (S3). s2idle is the only available option in /sys/power/mem_sleep. 'deep' (the more common S3 / suspend-to-RAM) is not available.21:06
sarnoldrdz: please file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug linux'21:11
rdzsarnold: ok.. thanks21:11
sarnoldrdz: it might be useful to mention if you've got devices attached when suspending, I've heard those can sometimes influence the suspend phase; but if the 'better' sleep modes are just missing, it might just be extraneous..21:12
Znevnathat laptop most likely doesn't have S3 support21:13
esjrdz: fwiw i had that on a different thinkpad a while back and a firmware update fixed it21:13
Znevnacan't see the linux bug in that21:13
rdzZnevna: it has, when I set it in UEFI BIOS. However, using that has the side effect that touchpad becomes unresponsive after waking up from suspend21:13
Znevnatry explaining that again?21:14
rdzand cpu runs hot then withouth any user processor showing high cpu usage.. so i suspend its  a driver munching cycles21:14
rdzZnevna: there is an option in the UEFI BIOS Power Settings to switch between 'S3 (Linux)' 'Windows and Linux' (which apparently is s2idle). WHen I set it to 'S3 (Linux)', suspend-to-ram seems to work and power usage is very low during sleep.21:16
Znevnaok21:16
rdzHowever, with 'S3 (Linux)' the touchpad becomes unresponsive after waking up21:16
rdzso i have to reboot after each sleep21:17
Znevnathat might be a bug21:17
Znevnalatest bios?21:17
rdzI read somewhere that recommended setting is s2idle21:17
Znevna>.>21:17
rdzZnevna: the latest available from Lenovo, yes21:17
Znevnasad then :p21:19
rdzhttps://01.org/blogs/qwang59/2018/how-achieve-s0ix-states-linux talks about how you can check whether s2idle actually works at is supposed to21:19
EriC^^rdz: maybe you could modprobe remove and back in for the touchpad to work?21:19
rdzit says that when doing s2idle, that should be reflected in the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_system_residency_us to count upwards.. but here on my system it stays  021:20
EriC^^rdz: or maybe it's just disabled somehow and needs re-enabling21:20
rdzEriC^^: how can rmmod modules that are compiled in?21:20
rdzi mean: can i rmmod  modules that are compiled into the kernel? and how can I identify which module it is? I think I could live with performing a rmmod/insmod cycle after each sleep21:22
sarnoldlsmod will show loaded modules, you might be able to guess the module from the names21:22
EriC^^rdz: if you can figure out how to fix it from the terminal, you can add a line in /etc/..pm.sleep/ or so i forgot to have it done automatically after resuming21:22
rdzsarnold: i'll check. Thanks.21:22
sarnoldsome commands like lspci have options to show kernel drivers, but I strongly doubt a touchpad is pcie device21:23
sarnoldit's probably in /sys somewhere but i can never find what I want in there quickl21:23
EriC^^rdz: maybe see gsettings list-recursively | grep touchpad to see if anything there is disabled, or similar21:23
EriC^^rdz: also not sure if it helps but the acpi stuff passed through grub might help, if linux pretends to be windows21:24
rdzEriC^^: what acpi stuff?21:24
rdzI found hid_multitouch. this might be the touchpad?21:26
sarnoldvery promising; it might be *one* of the modules for it, that might be a 'higher-level' module that offers some multitouch features but still relies on device-specific modules for the data to work with21:27
nelginThings are looking hopeful.21:27
jhutchinsrdz: The problem is that the standards for slee/hibernate are pretty loose, and it's hard to accomodate all of the different manufacturers.21:28
sarnoldnelgin: woot21:28
jhutchinssleep/hibernate.21:28
jhutchinsThey're not even labled consistently.21:28

EriC^^rdz: no problem21:38
jhutchinssarnold: True, and not consistently the same thing on different hardware.21:39
