| Sircle | Hi | 07:30 |
| Sircle | I am doing `for i in {1..65000}; do systemctl create some service` . I get " Failed to reload daemon: Connection timed out" and "Failed to enable unit: Transport endpoint is not connected". non of the sudo commands are running. I can't login as root either. What should I have done to solve | 07:30 |
| alkisg | Sircle: do you mean that you exhausted your OS resources? And you want want, to prevent that from happening when someone else is root, or to get it back to working without rebooting it? | 07:43 |

| Senaato | I created many tor instances via `tor-create-instance` command. How can I disable them all? They are 65000 and the command just does not work? Is there a file that systemctl creates? so Ican just delete them? | 08:56 |

| Sircle | I wonder why I get this when adding new tor instances via `sudo tor-instance-create tor123` -> `groupadd: invalid group ID '-1' adduser: `/sbin/groupadd -g -1 _tor-tor11000' returned error code 3. Exiting.` Is there a limitation to users that can be added to a system or group? It added about 748 instaces. Then started giving error later one | 11:53 |

| arraybolt3 | Just a heads-up, I'm trying to help update Lubuntu's installer slideshow and am wanting a snapshot of an IRC support conversation, so I'm going to do a short "simulated" support session where I'll basically be talking to myself using two nicks. The "fake" user I'll be using will be named Guest3187, so please ignore them. This shouldn't take long, and I'll pack up and wait for a better time if a real support session starts. | 17:27 |

| Guest3187 | hey how do I set my taskbar to only show programs from the current desktop | 17:29 |
| arraybolt3 | Guest3187: What OS is this? | 17:29 |
| Guest3187 | arraybolt3: lubuntu 23.04 | 17:29 |
| arraybolt3 | Guest3187: OK, Lubuntu. Try right-clicking on the taskbar and then click Configure Panel. | 17:29 |
| arraybolt3 | Then click on Widgets, select Task Manager, and then click the Configure... button (it's a small round black button with three dots in it on the right side of the screen). | 17:29 |
| arraybolt3 | Then check the "Show only windows from desktop" box. | 17:29 |
| Guest3187 | ok hold on | 17:29 |

| jhutchins | weedmic: Probably not. Linux can address the disk at the hardware level to take control. | 19:11 |
| jhutchins | You do NOT intend to use dual boot, right? | 19:11 |
| arraybolt3 | weedmic: AFAIK, BitLocker doesn't (and can't) do anything weird to the disk to make it incompatible with Linux - it just changes the way Windows saves data to the disk. So yeah, if you wipe the whole disk, Ubuntu will be able to use the blank space, no problem. | 19:12 |

| jhutchins | relipse: You install something that's actually built for Linux desktops. | 20:10 |

| relipse | it is | 20:10 |
| jhutchins | relipse: You can add items to the gnome menu or to your shortcut bar. It's gnome, so I can't tell you the details. | 20:10 |
| jhutchins | relipse: If the brave package you installed were actually built for a linux desktop, it would have included the .desktop file that generates those entries. | 20:11 |
| jhutchins | That's part of the linux standard these days. | 20:11 |

| linux_dream | hi people, Im trying to help my mother (not a computer woman at all). her disk is full, ubuntu won't boot to her desktop. so she can only get a tty with ctrl alt F3 | 20:20 |
| arraybolt3 | Then again they're fine with unofficial ones so :shrug: | 20:20 |
| arraybolt3 | jhutchins: Nope, was going off a mailing list. It looks ilke there's just no one interested in packaging it? | 20:20 |
| linux_dream | i told my mother to remove or move a file into another hard disk but she was unable to find a file. can she do sudo apt-get uninstall firefox, let's say, to free up space? | 20:21 |
| linux_dream | will that delete most of the files? | 20:21 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: That's not really recommended. | 20:21 |
| arraybolt3 | She can't find any files? OK, hold on... | 20:21 |
| linux_dream | I know arraybolt3 but what else do you suggest | 20:21 |
| arraybolt3 | (there's a way to find what's eating all the space) | 20:21 |
| linux_dream | right. my brother installed shitty games with steam, that's where most of her disk comes from | 20:21 |
| linux_dream | there are games taking Gb of shits | 20:21 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Well then uninstall one of those :P | 20:22 |
| linux_dream | she cannot run steam | 20:22 |
| jhutchins | linux_dream: Ah, obviously remove steam + games. | 20:22 |
| linux_dream | how do you uninstall the games? | 20:22 |
| arraybolt3 | Hmm... well this is a tight spot... | 20:22 |
| linux_dream | without being able to run steam | 20:22 |
| linux_dream | I was thinking that if she removed, say firefox, ubuntu would boot to her desktop | 20:22 |
| arraybolt3 | jhutchins: The system only boots to a TTY, so the Steam thingy can't be launched to remove them. | 20:22 |
| linux_dream | from which she could then remove games on steam | 20:22 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Yeah, I see your point, but it *could* result in losing all bookmarks and whatnot. | 20:22 |
| arraybolt3 | I'm trying to think... | 20:22 |
| linux_dream | hmm I see | 20:22 |
| jhutchins | arraybolt3: That sounds suspiciously like more than just space. | 20:23 |
| linux_dream | is there another program she might have installed but not using? | 20:23 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Maybe, but let's start with something easy. Give me just a sec. | 20:23 |
| linux_dream | startx fails | 20:23 |
| jhutchins | linux_dream: firefox is a bad choice because it's pretty essential for rebuilding the system. | 20:23 |
| linux_dream | files .Xauthority does not exists (when she tries startx) | 20:23 |
| jhutchins | linux_dream: With what messages? | 20:23 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Try "cd ~; du | sort -g". That will help you identify where most of the files are. | 20:23 |
| arraybolt3 | jhutchins: Zero disk space can do things like this. | 20:24 |
| linux_dream | disk is 100% full | 20:24 |
| linux_dream | according to df -h | 20:24 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Right but df -h doesn't tell you *where* the files are that are eating the space. | 20:24 |
| arraybolt3 | du | sort -g will. | 20:24 |
| jhutchins | linux_dream: Have you tried logging in as a different user? | 20:24 |
| jhutchins | Ah, I thought you'd been working on that. | 20:25 |
| linux_dream | I know. I already told her to run ls -something to see the size of files but she is unable to pinpoint something to move or delte | 20:25 |
| jhutchins | You could purge the firefox cache files. (Not an FF user so I don't have details) | 20:25 |
| linux_dream | nope jhutchins I haven't. she lives 800 kmaway from me. and she takes 30 minutes to enter "startx" | 20:25 |
| arraybolt3 | jhutchins: That's a good idea. | 20:25 |
| linux_dream | what other user can I use ? the only other one I know would be admin | 20:26 |
| jhutchins | I _think_ the cache files are simply hidden in $HOME | 20:26 |
| linux_dream | but I'm not sure I had set up these things when I installed her ubuntu backin the days | 20:26 |
| jhutchins | (From having watched copy/backup of them.) | 20:26 |
| linux_dream | hmm so I could remove firefox then? | 20:26 |
| linux_dream | it wouldnt remove the bookmarks | 20:26 |
| linux_dream | and it would remove several mb ? | 20:26 |
| linux_dream | with sudo apt-get uninstall firefox | 20:27 |
| linux_dream | I can't really think of another program she might have installed. maybe the office suite but... | 20:27 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: What version of Ubuntu is she on? | 20:27 |
| linux_dream | or maybe she can try to remove steam ? | 20:27 |
| jhutchins | linux_dream: Does $HOME/.Xauthority exist | 20:28 |
| linux_dream | an LTS version arraybolt3 i forgot which one | 20:28 |
| jhutchins | ? | 20:28 |
| linux_dream | I don;t think so jhutchins according to the error message at least | 20:28 |
| linux_dream | I'll tell her to type sudo apt-get uninstall steam | 20:28 |
| linux_dream | do you think this could work ? | 20:28 |
| jhutchins | If that is true, you should be able to touch that file, which should then let you log in locally. | 20:28 |
| linux_dream | assuming the OS is able to create an empty file that is | 20:29 |
| jhutchins | linux_dream: Better yet xauth generate :0 . trusted | 20:29 |
| linux_dream | nvm for now, I;ll tell her to remove steam | 20:29 |
| linux_dream | what would be the command to do so? | 20:30 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Tell her brother to get his own PC :P | 20:30 |
| jhutchins | linux_dream: If your goal does not include a working steam system, you could just start deleting associated files. | 20:30 |
| linux_dream | sorry I haven't used uibuntu in years | 20:30 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Depends on how he installed it. "sudo apt remove steam" or "sudo snap remove steam". | 20:30 |
| linux_dream | from the software center | 20:30 |
| linux_dream | the GUI interface I suppose | 20:31 |
| arraybolt3 | linux_dream: Then try apt and if that fails try snap. | 20:31 |
| linux_dream | thank you very much | 20:31 |
| arraybolt3 | (The GUI interface can do either >_<) | 20:31 |
| linux_dream | i told her to remove steam 2 mins ago. see how long it's gonna taker her to enter this command | 20:33 |
| linux_dream | damn... she will try tomorrow... but ok. very nice guys, I took note of the 2 commands | 20:33 |
| arraybolt3 | What a mess. Sorry this happened. | 20:34 |
| linux_dream | yeah. i messed up. i told her to buy a new HD. but II messed up the installation | 20:34 |
| linux_dream | i should have put it to mount in /home/user | 20:35 |
| linux_dream | instead, it's just like an external HD (but it's internal) | 20:35 |
| linux_dream | so she didn't have to reflex to move her stuff in there. and teh games were installed on the small ssd instead | 20:35 |
| linux_dream | filling it | 20:35 |
| linux_dream | see you guys and thank you very much | 20:36 |

| JohnDoe2 | hello guys, got a kubuntu 22.10 freezing on me (for real, not just x11), trying to tail the logs from an SSH session in case I can figure out what the culprit is. Or is there a journalctl command I should use? | 21:06 |
| Alteris | kubuntu is a real distro or you misspelled it? | 21:09 |
| Alteris | just curious | 21:10 |
| JohnDoe2 | you've never heard of the flavor? | 21:10 |
| Alteris | no | 21:10 |
| JohnDoe2 | odd | 21:10 |
| JohnDoe2 | it's one of the many flavors offered by the ubuntu folk, it runs KDE by default | 21:11 |
| bprompt | Alteris: Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE and QT preinstalled, nothing esoteric | 21:11 |
| Alteris | but I just used Linux for the first time like 3 weeks ago | 21:11 |
| JohnDoe2 | yup froze again, nothing logged. | 21:12 |
| bprompt | Alteris: well, there are quite a few flavors, Lubuntu and Mathbuntu is another | 21:12 |
| JohnDoe2 | starting to feel like a CPU problem. | 21:12 |
| bprompt | JohnDoe2: could also be a daemon, you could start by disabling a few non-critical daemons | 21:14 |
| bprompt | JohnDoe2: also if you allow autoupdates, it could have been a kernel autoupdate, and sometimes just going back to the old one may do, reason why I don't do autoupdates, only manually do them | 21:16 |
| JohnDoe2 | it's a fresh install, barely anything running on here outside of ssh. I did select "download updates while installing" so it has the latest... | 21:16 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: Might look into getting some hardware monitoring set up. Anything in common when it freezes? | 21:20 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: How long have you left it frozen to see if it would recover (some process maxing out resources?) | 21:21 |

| bprompt | JohnDoe2: could be a videocard driver incompatibility, the driver in use may not work as well, you could always check for an alternative from the manufacturer, AMD or Nvidia would have one | 21:22 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: Allows you to see historical resource usage, possibly look back and catch something using up resources. | 21:22 |
| JohnDoe2 | jhutchins there is no obvious cause, it happens randomly. Temps are ok, fans don't go crazy. This laptop has been running a hackintoshed macOS for the past 3 years without hiccups, uptimes of months at a time. Laptop is an 8th gen i7 vPro with the embedded gfx chipset. | 21:23 |
| bprompt | jhutchins: not to meddle, but he dunnos where to or what to start monitoring yet | 21:23 |
| JohnDoe2 | I was watching htop and journalctl -f to see if anything gets logged but there isn't anything. | 21:24 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: Invariably the logging function is one of the first things to go. | 21:25 |
| JohnDoe2 | yeah I was hoping for some kernel panic over a driver or another... | 21:25 |
| JohnDoe2 | but it could end up being something silly like a RAM stick going bad | 21:25 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: Good hardware is always rock solid - until it's not. History is no guarantee of future performance (as they say in the investing world). | 21:26 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: Wouldn't hurt to re-seat things, make sure the interior is clean. | 21:26 |
| JohnDoe2 | yup, exactly. Right just got my compressed air and screwdriver here | 21:26 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: Remember if you decide to run memtest it needs to go overnight or more. | 21:27 |
| bprompt | JohnDoe2: to rule out bad RAM, you could just try a LiveUSB session, if that goes bunk, then it's a good probability is ram, if it's stable, isn't it | 21:27 |
| JohnDoe2 | gotcha, yeah memtest is next then. bprompt thanks, that might be a quicker check | 21:28 |
| jhutchins | JohnDoe2: That's a little like having run the hackintosh on it though, doesn't really tell you what's wrong with the actual installation. | 21:28 |
| jhutchins | It's something to eliminate though. | 21:29 |
| bprompt | JohnDoe2: if it has been working fine for 3 years, I'd suspect something autoupdated, like a new kernel | 21:29 |
| JohnDoe2 | true. bprompt those 3 years it was running a bootlegged macOS, but I did allow ubuntu to get the latest updates on installation so it definitely is running the latest released packages, kernel included. | 21:30 |
| bprompt | JohnDoe2: I mean, updates update, you only know they don't work when something breaks in the process, most of time they work, but sometimes could be compatibility with the hardware and the new drivers updated | 21:30 |
| bprompt | JohnDoe2: I run Kubuntu 20.04, runs like a breeze, I don't run Kwin though, well, kinda, I run LXQT which is faster | 21:32 |
| jhutchins | So action plan is clean and reseat, test, run a live image, maybe run memtest - does that sound about right? | 21:34 |
| JohnDoe2 | yup, also trial a debian install since that's focused on stability | 21:35 |
| JohnDoe2 | and I'll be abusing the CPU and RAM with one of these stressors to see if I can get it to crash. | 21:36 |
| jhutchins | When we started using linux we discovered that a lot of what we blamed on Microsoft was actually crap hardware. | 21:37 |
| jhutchins | (and/or drivers). | 21:38 |
| bprompt | JohnDoe2: dunno, last I checked, a while back mind you, Debian is a great distro, but lacks the some pre-installed drivers Ubuntu includes, so on that sense out-of-the-box Ubuntu has more hardware support, just for pre-packaged reasons | 21:43 |
| tepperson | hello, I am trying to run coz plot on my ubuntu 22.04 system. it tells me to do xdg-open /usr/share/coz-profiler/vierwer/index.htm, then my web browser says the file doesnt exist (it does exist). what can i do? | 21:43 |
| jhutchins | tepperson: Browse to that file? | 21:44 |
| jhutchins | tepperson: Open the browser, enter "file://... | 21:45 |
| tepperson | jhutchins: firefox says file not found, but ls -la finds it no problem | 21:46 |
| jhutchins | tepperson: Sounds like an ownershop/permission problem. | 21:47 |
| jhutchins | tepperson: Can you see it in your file browser? | 21:48 |
| jhutchins | Should be able to open it from that. | 21:48 |
| bprompt | tepperson: why is the system telling you to open that file btw? | 21:48 |
| tepperson | bprompt: not sure | 21:48 |
| tepperson | jhutchins: I can see it in my file browser | 21:49 |

| bprompt | tepperson: xdg-open is more of a handler than an app IIRC, sorta like a handler for MIME extensions, usually you'd get those messages in a webbrowser when clicking on a link to an external resource | 21:49 |
| tepperson | bprompt: its from the command "coz plot" | 21:55 |
| bprompt | tepperson: sounds like jhutchins said, a permission issue, I strongly doubt it, no uncommon though, check if the file is there, does it have any content? is it valid html? but any browser should be able to open it, assuming is not binary | 21:59 |
| tepperson | i can cat it, it looks like html content, i can open it with gedit | 22:01 |
| bprompt | tepperson: you can try to drag-n-drop from the file manager to Firefox | 22:10 |
| EriC^^ | tepperson: is that a typo there? seems like it might be 'viewer' xdg-open /usr/share/coz-profiler/vierwer/index.htm | 22:12 |
| tepperson | yes, thats a typo | 22:13 |
| tepperson | i think it is a permissions problem with the coz-profiler package, copying /usr/share/coz-profiler/viewer/* to another path, and giving ownership to myself made it work | 22:14 |
| * jhutchins introduces tepperson to chmod and chown | 22:19 | |
