[00:38] hello? [00:41] oh great now I'm going to have those old "HELLO MOTO" commercials stuck in my head === LabMonkey is now known as Mechanismus [00:44] sarnold: XD [00:47] :D [00:47] :D [00:47] \o\ [00:47] \o/ [00:47] /o/ === realivanjx9 is now known as realivanjx [01:38] Hi, how do I record, view, and playback waveforms from my microphone? [01:38] ups? [01:38] Oh that was not an answer to me [01:38] sorry [01:38] gorgon: ups [01:38] j/k =) [01:39] ha ha [01:39] gorgon: do you want a GUI app or commandline? [01:39] commandline is preferable [01:39] I use KDE [01:39] anything lightweight will do actually [01:39] you might have 'arecord' already [01:39] playback ... I would use [01:40] ahh thanks [01:40] mplayer or mpv, but 'aplay' is probably also something you have [01:40] wow how cool is that thanks! [01:40] view is a special one, I don't think I would bother searching for something that would visualize a waveform in a terminal [01:40] Oh and do you know how I can view the waveforms? [01:40] most people use the GUI app 'Audacity' and call it a day [01:40] 'view' sounds a bit like you want audacity [01:40] I mean I could open a Jupyter Notebook I guess [01:40] sarnold: indeed [01:40] heya matsaman :) [01:40] ok! [01:41] I'm sure you could find a script to generate the waveform [01:41] and even pass it to libcaca for an ascii representation [01:41] if you like pain a lot [01:41] Oh and while we're on the topic of viewing [01:41] something I wondered for a hilw [01:41] generate the waveform visual* [01:41] and on the topic of console - [01:41] Is there a console command that can show an image on the console? [01:41] Of course, approximately [01:41] gorgon: as in without X running? [01:41] or just in a terminal? [01:41] e.g. "aview abc.jpg" [01:41] just in terminal [01:42] I would use 'display' from imagemagick [01:42] with as much color as possible [01:42] but there are hundreds of image viewers [01:42] Wow I used imagemagick I didn't know that it has display! [01:42] if you want it _in_ the terminal, few terminals do that, but some do [01:42] I'm gonna try it right now [01:42] and you can always use something like libcaca to ascii-ize it [01:42] gorgon: w3m-img can do it [01:43] hmm, my first attempt it appeared to start an X program :/ [01:43] oh `magick display abc.jpg` opens an image using my X [01:44] gorgon: you don't want to use X? [01:44] gorgon: if you want to go totally crazy on the console: https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl/releases :D [01:44] gorgon: displaying an image without X running is a different beast [01:44] Yeah I'm generally fine with X, but sometimes I want to just use the console to quickly confirm an image you know [01:44] gorgon: you would have to setup some framebuffer implementation, or use libcaca [01:44] especially when I'm using an ssh session [01:45] probably libcaca will be the easiest, although it's not going to be pretty frequently [01:45] http://caca.zoy.org/static/images/stitch-80x45.png [01:46] Huh carbonyl looks interesting! [01:46] this guy suggests tiv or ranger https://www.baeldung.com/linux/view-images-from-terminal [01:46] Will check it out later [01:46] ravage: Sheesh, that Carbonyl thing is amazing. [01:46] Might try it :P [01:46] it is! [01:47] libcaca sounds great [01:47] wasn't there a different library like that earlier [01:47] ncurses? [01:48] well curses is a different thing [01:48] ok [01:48] curses/slang/et al, are for terminal-based UI [01:48] curses is something else, think more menu-driven programs [01:48] and libcaca is for ascii-izing imagery, basically [01:48] libaa was the first thing like libcaca that I heard of [01:48] Wow libcaca is 10 years old [01:48] back in school I watched a bootleg rip of the matrix with libaa, because of course I did [01:49] I mean the last release was 9 years ago: http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca [01:49] but that probably means there's nothing more to add [01:49] as long as they compile it with all the recent security fixes it should be safe enough i suppose? [01:51] Also I'll install Audacity if that's the best GUI viewer for Linux [01:51] Thanks for all the suggestions! [01:52] gorgon: audacity is an *audio* tool btw ;) [01:54] thanks it seems really good [01:57] The UI looks a bit out of place, more like Windows 3x [01:57] Probably it's not a KDE application [01:57] but it seems to be well maintained despite the looks [01:58] Last code merge was just 16 hours ago [01:58] it started in the same era, wikipedia says its first release was may 28, 2000 [01:58] (I was guessing earlier than that, heh) [02:00] there is probably a KDE-oriented alternative, but you're going to find plenty of irreplaceable apps that aren't KDE oriented [02:00] so probably best to get over that now (or spend ages setting up themes to make such apps look native) [02:01] Nah I'm good with audacity [02:01] If it's the gimp of audio, which it seems to be [02:01] it is [02:02] there's a kde non-linear video editor kdenlive that loads of people like; it *might* be able to do audio things, too, but it'd be an afterthought for them === chris14_ is now known as chris14 === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [04:58] halo [05:15] The kubuntu 22.04.2 installer ISO -> USB has a partition named "writeable". This is a great advance. Is there anything I can do short of shutting down when I insert another USB which also has a partition named "writeable". Problem is that /var/log of the running OS is written on "writeable" *by name*, and then I cannot unmount the writeable [05:15] partition on the second USB. [05:16] youc an disable automounting [05:30] That would be a preventative measure, yes. But is there a way to untangle two partitions once it occurs? [05:32] well yo uahent shown any output or error messages [05:32] so theres only so much one cay say... === remy_ is now known as Remy [06:53] seexuntu [06:53] o_o [07:07] hello [07:13] printf ("slave world"); [07:16] Is it conceivable that resetting the BIOS on an older machine (pre-2019) could make the recent Ubuntu installers no longer boot in secure mode? Do they rely on a more recent key or somesuch? [07:19] hello, I made a Windows folder shared [07:19] how do I access it from Ubuntu? [07:19] circle, yeah, disable secure boot and try again. [07:20] or fix the boot with a live USB and boot-repair. [07:22] wwwi, i think you should be able to access it from the file explorer in network, however if its not listed, try ctrl+l and enter the URL with IP of the machine like: //192.168.1.2/shared_folder_name IIRC.

[10:49] huh, its my year to this day when I told myself I would run ubuntu for good [10:49] I just realised [10:55] hii [10:59] hi, I managed to access my Windows Shared folder from Ubuntu and nautilus sees it, but applications don't see it [10:59] any ideas why? === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [11:07] wwwi: usually you see them in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs [11:08] on a default installation that should be /run/user/1000/gvfs/ === bad_2 is now known as badbodh === BuzzardBuzz is now known as Buzzard === Buzzard is now known as ourereurtg === shokohsc0 is now known as shokohsc [13:02] Hi all [13:13] Hey! [15:05] When I dpkg -S "$file"; I get "libace-7.0.6: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libACE_Monitor_Control-7.0.6.so". Then when I "apt purge libace", I get "E: Unable to locate package libace". Does this mean my system is broken or is there some other mechanism by which a package might be installed and providing a file, but I can't remove the package? [15:06] Is there a way to hide all those disk drive icons that show up in the Activities? [15:06] I mean mount points [15:07] aiena: I assume you don't want to unmount the filesystems? ;-) [15:08] lmat, the file systems are not mounted [15:08] but those icons show up giving a choice to mount them [15:08] they flood the activities sidebar [15:08] trash + mountpoints [15:09] err mountable partitons [15:09] maybe something of gvfs [15:09] e.g. mount 300gb volume, mount 41 gb volume etc.... === csexecutive is now known as Guest5115 === linuxmodder is now known as csexecutive [15:10] the fs's are not mounted I just dont like those icons its ok in the file manager but why in the main Activities ribbon? === |8lurry| is now known as suckling === suckling is now known as |8lurry| [15:11] but it shows up in the running apps part [15:13] their icons to "Other locations" in the file manager [15:13] *they're [15:14] but only drives excluding the os root [15:14] lmat: Try dpkg -l | grep libace [15:14] lmat: You might simply try libace-7 [15:16] .mp4 and .vid files are not playing in Videos, they only work in VLC, any idea? [15:25] ice99: Play them in VLC. [15:26] ice99: Make VLC the default app to open those file types. [15:26] lmat: sudo apt purge libace-7.0.6 [15:27] I added Nextcloud account to online accounts but calendars and contacts doesn't show up in gnome even after relogin, any idea? [15:30] leftyfb: That worked! I'm surprised...I didn't think I needed to provide the version. Thank you! [15:47] snap list in 22.04 says that firefox was published by mozilla. did they create the snap? [15:47] yes [15:53] lmat: It's hard to tell when there are version numbers that are part of a package name - and how much of the number is required. [15:56] alright, it looks like the libvirt issues started with the jump from 20.04.4 to 20.04.5 [17:03] anyone ever get like... blinking windows or the taskbars on Gnome? [17:05] WeeBey98: Does your TV ever do that? [17:06] Used to. I just hit it on the side. ;) [17:06] I think something is funky with graphics drivers recently, but I'm not sure what it could be. It started happening last week. [17:08] WeeBey98: Remember there's a huge variety of hardware combinations out here. [17:08] WeeBey98: Although that sounds like it could be a hardware issue. Loose connector or something. [17:08] I know. Just sometimes something gets pushed out with some bug. [17:08] jhutchins, Nah. it's only certain windows or panels. [17:09] As if the rendering of that windows is acting up. [17:09] not too serious. Just checking if anyone saw a siimlar thing recently. It happens. [17:10] WeeBey98, on wht graphics card? [17:11] oerheks, nvidia rtx 3070 mobile [17:12] What kernel version? uname -a [17:13] 6.1.12 (imma get in trouble lol) [17:13] no, this is a known issue for windows too, often too high refreshrate 144 [17:14] this display is 165hz [17:14] up to 120 it could work fine.. [17:15] next time i'll see it i'll change the refresh and see. [17:15] Thanks for the tip oerheks [17:15] yw [17:48] what does it mean when the dependency says `gnome-shell >= 40.0`? [17:48] does it mean >= 3.40.0 or something else? [17:49] also, can i upgrade my gnome-shell to 3.40.0 on ubuntu 20.04 [17:56] supay: it means version 40.0 or higher. [17:58] and no, you should not try to upgrade gnome packages without also upgrading to a newer ubuntu release. [17:58] 20.04 LTS can be upgraded to 22.04 LTS [18:00] gnome moved to version numbers 40 and higher for what could also have been the 4.0 release, similar to other software such as some web browsers (firefox, chromium) https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-shell === presonic is now known as highrate [18:46] tomreyn: ahh, i see. that makes a lot of sense. thank you! :) [18:47] you're welcome [19:36] whats the eqiv of ping -t in ubuntu terminal? [19:36] ping [19:37] ping -t ? [19:37] its -b -- continious [19:38] that should be the default [19:38] -> ping [19:38] well look at that - learn something every day [19:38] and b is broadcast ping on linux [19:38] I see that now [19:57] Floating4: There's a man page for ping - man ping [20:13] Does anyone here know how to interpret dbus-monitor output? [20:24] my keyboard: https://askubuntu.com/q/1449887/847449 an old question, but never figured out how to take a screenshot with the "printscreen" key as "windows-shift-s" on Microsoft Windows. The "print" key is rather odd on this keyboard. [20:27] pardon me... how can i verify a USB stick is bootable, using ubuntu [20:27] i guess i could always try to boot from it... [20:29] Gallomimia: you can try to boot it with qemu-kvm [20:31] well i installed that easily enough. but here we hit a wall. got manual? [20:31] Gallomimia: i think the minimal set of options was: sudo qemu-kvm -m 1024 /dev/sdX [20:31] or if you fix the permissions on /dev/kvm, just: qemu-kvm -m 1024 /dev/sdX [20:32] oddly enough, of all the commands available starting with qemu now, kvm is not one of them [20:33] Gallomimia: yea i noticed that earlier. try to use qemu-system-x86_64 [20:34] Gallomimia: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 2 -hda /dev/sdx [20:35] ^ that should work fairly well with Ubuntu Desktop, there are other variants on that command if you need something specific or less resource-intensive. [20:35] wow. yeah i'm giving up on that. just trying to get a USB that's bootable. used dd on another machine to flash an iso, but that machine won't boot it [20:35] Gallomimia: Is it a BIOS machine? And by "won't boot", does it not even try, or does it try but freeze during bootup? [20:35] thanks for the suggestion. i'll read more about qemu later. it sounds like it will do some other things that i'd like [20:35] yes, yes [20:35] Ah, that's a known bug, just leave it "frozen" and it will figure itself out in 10 minutes or so. [20:36] Gallomimia: if the iso image is not for uefi boot, change your uefi to boot in bios or csm mode [20:36] Only affects booting the ISO, the installed system won't have the slow boot. [20:36] I'll try and find the bug report. [20:36] no it won't. the machine in question is like 12-15 years old, and we're trying to boot win7 [20:36] it's running manjaro but it's pretty darn slow, and the fellow who wants to use it is not too interested in linux at all. so... now we're off topic [20:37] Gallomimia: Ah. [20:37] Gallomimia: manjaro is also offtopic here === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [20:38] leftyfb: They're trying to test a bootable USB on Ubuntu I assume, that would be on-topic regardless of the OS on the ISO or the final target system, since whether it boots or not is the problem, not what it is that is being booted. [20:38] And Ubuntu's qemu-system-x86_64 can do that. [20:38] yeah i'm trying to use my ubuntu machine to check and see if the USB stick is bootable [20:39] oh, it looks like they had a manjaro machine trying to test a win7 installer usb [20:39] Gallomimia: there's a command isohybrid that converts non-isohybrid isos to isohybrid [20:40] as in.... efi/bios hybridness? [20:40] isohybrid [20:40] wrong window [20:40] isohybrid I think makes a "can only boot from a DVD drive" ISO file also bootable from a USB drive when you dd it. [20:41] OH! [20:41] But also, Windows doesn't take too kindly to being straight dd'd to a drive - WoeUSB might be better. [20:41] that's probably a big deal [20:41] what is a woeUSB [20:41] It won't need isohybrid. I've used it several times. [20:41] https://github.com/WoeUSB/WoeUSB [20:41] (Not officially supported, but if that's what you're doing anyway, may as well give an easy option.) [20:41] s/several/twice/ [20:41] s/twice/thrice/ (ok so it was several :P) [20:42] lots of options to look into. sounds like Future-gallo's problem [20:42] or whatever, I'm mis-remembering things. You know what I mean. Use that tool, will make bootable Windows stick :D [20:42] Anyway, /me stops going off-topic [20:43] Gallomimia: i have the commands to make a windows iso able to boot from a usb stick if you need those [20:43] Gallomimia: it's a matter of copying the files [20:43] the woeusb script really does a good job and is easy to use [20:44] ravage: it's just a script with many dependencies? [20:44] it has some dependencies yes [20:45] i think most required for basic operation are part of a default ubuntu desktop install [20:45] if not all [20:45] I had to install wimtools to make it work. [20:46] Everything else was there. [20:46] that is not required for a simple iso to usb transfer [20:46] (to a ntfs usb) [20:47] I was flashing Win10 ISOs to what I believe was a FAT32 USB (that was what it did by default), so it needed it for me. Win7 is smaller and might not need it. [20:48] yep. should not be needed with --tgt-fs ntfs [20:49] OK, brb, trying something real quick... [20:53] ravage: is --tgt-fs a woeusb option? [20:53] Yes [21:25] is there something like monitors.xml for wayland? Previously available resolutions are no longer available. [21:51] chrome is crashing every time I start it, sometimes it lasts for a few seconds, sometimes it dies immediately [21:51] one sec i'll post a log [21:52] https://paste.debian.net/1274840/ [21:52] telmac: try chromium, I don't think any chrome you'd get would be anything but a really terrible upstream binary [21:52] that is: built by google [21:52] I'm figuring it's line 7 [21:52] there was some actual reason why I wanted chrome proper [21:53] my recollection is that I used chromium on debian maybe 7 years ago and it was noticeably worse than google's chrome packages [21:53] maybe this is moot now [21:54] academic* [21:54] on the one hand, yes, you're more likely to get Google's upstream features working in chrome [21:54] on the other hand, the build is going to be really bad [21:55] hum hum [21:55] what an unhappy log :/ each of those could have been a cause for the failure [21:55] anyone it should be easy to try chromium and see if it's missing something, now [21:56] yeah I'm setting things up now [21:56] I see it's on the same official version number which is reassuring [21:57] anyway* it should, wow [21:57] I have a chrome adjacent question, unrelated [21:57] * ogra agrees that anyone shoudl try chromium .... [21:57] 🙂 [21:57] once at least [21:57] so there's a problem with wayland support in vscode [21:57] inb4 you say to use vscodium [21:57] some old backstory if you're bored: https://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html [21:58] wow, that is *the* spot [21:58] telmac: use vscodi... aw [21:58] lol [21:58] I *believe* I actually tried ubuntu's vscodium packages and they have the same problem, but apparently the packages in arch's repos *don't* which is interesting [21:58] so what's the problem? [21:58] basically, you can pass electron apps a flag to use wayland natively [21:59] neat [21:59] this is relevant specifically for hidpi support, otherwise I wouldn't really care [21:59] and this works fine with obsidian and slack, but it's broken in vscode [21:59] I think it's actually some larger problem that vscode is like refusing all flags or something [22:00] ah, ok, a legitimate reason not to use chromium: it doesn't support google's sync [22:00] doesn't it? [22:01] https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/ly7dn8/no_option_to_sign_into_chromium/ [22:01] (I also can't find a login button anywhere in the interface) [22:01] i use a hidpi (4k 13" dell laptop) here and had to recently tst the code snap for someone ... it was totally fine WRT scaling and resolution on wayland [22:01] interesting [22:01] I'm not using the snap, I think I'm using MS's .deb lol [22:02] that shouldnt really make a difference one would hope ... [22:02] one would hope [22:02] 🙂 [22:05] @ogra, I just reinstalled it with snap, doesn't seem to help, let me try the electron flag again [22:06] what version do you have? (of vscode) [22:06] i didnt have to use any flag ... [22:07] so indeed it doesn't help with the flag, same error as I was getting a while back: [22:07] it was a few weeks ago and i tested for someone else, it is uninstalled again ... but back then i installed from the latest/stable snap channel whetever was recent in there [22:07] ~$ code --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland [22:07] Warning: 'enable-features' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium. [22:07] Warning: 'ozone-platform' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium. [22:07] thats fine, just a warning ... [22:07] well, but then it just didn't open anything [22:07] I'm not very knowledgeable about snap, is the repository the "same" for everyone? [22:07] right [22:08] its a single package per channel for every distor/relese you install it on [22:08] *distro or release [22:09] technically it should work the same everywhere [22:09] (and like, out of the box looks like it's rendering at a lower res etc) [22:09] well I'm running 22.10 [22:09] ah, 22.04 here [22:09] oh interesting [22:09] might be related to gnome shell ?
