arraybolt3There are other ways, but for Windows file shares, I believe SAMBA is the normal way to do that.00:00
relipseI was probably going to use Synergy to connect my computers; with a mouse/keyboard share00:00
arraybolt3Oh nice.00:00
arraybolt3I've looked into that before, never gotten around to using it though.00:00
relipsevery useful00:00
relipseif i ever get a mac, i'll do it to all 300:01
sarnoldrelipse: consider also https://github.com/debauchee/barrier - I've never used any of them but I keep hearing this is a nice replacement for synergy00:01
relipsenow, do I need to press F12 every time I boot to choose which OS to boot into?00:01
relipseyeah i thought of barrier too , but I paid for synergy a while back and I like Nick Bolton00:02
Unit193Huh.00:02
relipseNick Bolton started synergy  a long time ago open source, and then went to commercial00:03
arraybolt3relipse: A boot menu should appear upon each boot.00:03
arraybolt3You can then boot into Ubuntu (the default) or select Windows.00:03
relipseok, as it was trying to boot I saw "BIOS error"00:04
relipsebut then it still booted and I see my name and Ubuntu logo00:04
arraybolt3When booting the ISO? Or the newly installed system?00:04
arraybolt3Oh, so you didn't get a boot menu?00:04
relipseyes I did00:04
arraybolt3Oh, OK.00:04
relipseWhy is the boot menu so......ugly?00:04
arraybolt3:shrug:00:04
arraybolt3It's the GRUB bootloader, I guess it's just nice and simple.00:05
arraybolt3There are ways to pretty-fy it but I've never bothered.00:05
topcat001refind can be pretty :)00:25
topcat001even grub can be themed extensively00:25
topcat001kind of pointless though for something so rarely seen (hopefully)00:25

r4fkramerI use ubuntu 22.04 and it is installed in virtual machine (virt-manager) and application connection was checked and it is Ok.13:17
r4fkramerI can access Internet through this ubuntu installation normally - the only issue (Network is unreachable) I have when trying to updating and upgrading the System.13:19
meiyou seems to have network issues?13:19
meior your mirror is broken at the moment13:19
r4fkramerYes mei, it seems, but apparently it is everything OK here13:20
meitry another mirror13:20
r4fkramerOh, broken!13:20
r4fkramerPlease mei, how do I have to proceed to change to another mirror ?13:20
meii'd rather test first if the mirror is working or not13:22
meican you open it on a browser?13:22

When I launch 'chromedriver --version' command as regular user, I'm getting the following error: /user.slice/user-0.slice/session-2.scope is not a snap cgroup . However, if I launch the same command as root, it executes fine, no error. What's the problem?19:19
webchat84Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 14 5425. Once I suspend it takes more than 60 seconds for the laptop to wakeup. It works fine with Windows but does not with Ubuntu. I have tried Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10. With Ubuntu 22.10 I have tried Kernel 5.19.0, 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. I also have updated the BIOS to the latest version.. Any help appreciated..19:23
webchat84Issue similar to (or the same as) https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216773. Considering that there is a patch already.. would there be a way to know when the patch goes in to mainline.. few days, wees or months?19:24
-ubottu:#ubuntu- bugzilla.kernel.org bug 216773 in Power Management "PM: resume devices took 60.044 seconds || Dell Inspiron 14 5425" [Normal, Assigned]19:24
jhutchinswebchat84: There's no reason not to apply the patch yourself.19:32
webchat84I am not good with kernel builds.. this was the first time I attempted it.. I have run into multiple problems when applying the patch... and the build takes hours to finish.. Hence can live with the suspend issue for a few weeks if its going to be part of a mainline release in the near future..19:35
webchat84I am going to attempt the build again...19:35
jhutchinsWe used to use kernel builds as benchmarks precicely because they took a long time.  They displayed the sustained performance of the system.19:37
Jeremy31webchat84: That patch only helps Dell Vostro 562519:38
jhutchinsJeremy31: Still might be worth trying.  Dells share a lot of parts.19:39
Jeremy31It would have to share the DMI Product name19:39
jhutchinsI don't think product names affect performance.19:41
Jeremy31webchat84: Does it have AMD CPU and NVME?19:49
webchat84AMD CPU: Yes, NVME not sure.. but have SSD19:55

Jeremy31webchat84: You could change the source from 7425 to 5425 and see if it works20:06

ravagenot much really. except some package updates20:54
ravageyou can try linux-oem-22.04c20:54
ravagethat will give you a 6.1 kernel20:54

ravagejust to rule out a problem with that20:54
Guest31wait i have it...20:55
leprechaunaog try a diffrent driver then for the mouse maybe?20:56

aogcurious about the naming convention...20:57

leprechaunworth a try...20:58

spacecase_I just had an idea and I need someone to tell me how bad of an idea it is...22:08
spacecase_my boot drive is encrypted, and so is my secondary drive.  I would like to have this secondary drive mount automatically at boot, but I do not want to use a keyfile that is stored on the boot drive because if that drive goes bad, I'm locked out of the secondary drive.  However, assuming there is a way to put the passphrase into fstab... I think that wouldn't be a terrible way to deal with this.  Since the boot drive is encrypted, storing that key in22:10
spacecase_plain text in fstab would be encrypted.  thoughts and feelings?  I have yet to even see if it's possible to put a key into fstab22:10
lvsmmusickindly direct me to the hardware enablement team22:12
ducassespacecase_: you can add more than one key22:15
jhutchinsspacecase_: What is your threat model for encryption?22:16
jhutchinslvsmmusic: We're just fellow users here.22:16
spacecase_my threat model lol... it's just a personal machine, I'm not doing anything properly illegal, don't have sensitive work data, pretty much just using encryption because it's a good idea and if someone walks off with my machine it makes their life harder (Ignoring the fact that I rarely ever turn it off, just put it to sleep)22:18
spacecase_but I do, in theory, prefer passphrases because they're not written down or stored anywhere other than my head22:19
spacecase_and having to keep a backup of a key somewhere seems problematic to me22:19
jhutchinsspacecase_: I had to start using a password keeper just because of the number of "accounts" I have.22:19
spacecase_I definitely do use a password keeper for online passwords and all that, just not my drive encryption passphrase22:20
ducassespacecase_: just use a keyfile on the bootdrive and a passphase so yoi can get in without it22:21
ducassespacecase_: i think you have like 8 slots22:21
spacecase_alright, I'll look into it when I get a chance.  Thanks22:27
lvsmmusicjhutchins: hi22:43
lvsmmusicjhutchins: In the past I had spoken to the hardware enablement team, but I forgot where22:44
Jeremy31lvsmmusic: You can ask about an issue here22:44
lvsmmusicJeremy31: Its not an issue actually, I drivers I need are in the new Linux kernel version 6.3, I would like to add those drivers to my current kernel. I thought who would be  better people to ask than the hardware enablement team22:46
lvsmmusicDoes Ubuntu have a seperate channel fore kernel development?22:47
jhutchinslvsmmusic: Developers rarely participate in public forums.  They're more likely to be reached by mailing list.22:49
lvsmmusiccorrect22:49
jhutchinslvsmmusic: It's entirely possible for you to apply the necessary patches and compile your own kernel.22:49
Jeremy31lvsmmusic: what driver?22:50
lvsmmusicJeremy31: hwmon drivers22:50
lvsmmusicjhutchins: I tried, but I am getting errors during compilation22:50
lvsmmusicI think we have #ubuntu-devel right?22:51
jhutchinsPerhaps they are not internal drivers but external modules.22:51
lvsmmusicjhutchins: thats correct22:52
lvsmmusicno wait22:52
jhutchinslvsmmusic: What you might want is the lm-sensors package rather than the kernel then.22:52
lvsmmusicthose drivers are written by the kernel developers22:52
jhutchinslvsmmusic: Probably not.22:52
jhutchinslvsmmusic: Drivers usually come from independent teams or developers.22:53
lvsmmusicjhutchins: I did that but sensors-detect says it found unknown chip. I did some googling and found that my motherboard is a new one and its drivers are not yet in the kernel22:53
