[00:03] <sarnold> stefan_: try replacing xinput with libinput
[00:04] <stefan_> sarnold: I'll try that. Thank you.
[00:28] <StrangerVP_> ?
[00:28] <StrangerVP_> wrong terminal, sorry
[01:08] <Guest4722> bonsoir
[04:40] <Roey> hello. something that I have noticed with the openvpn setup on my laptop is that whenever I switch wifi networks (automatically--say, my parents' house to my house), I have to issue sudo systemctl restart openvpn@openvpnserver.service.  How do I get he OpenVPN service on my laptop to automatically bind to the new IP?
[06:41] <Guest68> Hello, I have installed Ubuntu but I am not able to get the USB wifi internet to work
[06:42] <Guest68> I managed to download a driver on my phone and then transfer it, but following the readme steps results in some compilation error
[06:44] <Guest68> I can see the device with lsusb, it is RTL88x2bu
[06:49] <Guest68> I also tried USB tethering, but that doesn't function

[07:10] <slingamn> when you configure a system-wide http proxy in ubuntu, does that set the environment variable HTTP_PROXY?
[07:50] <coderpyt> ok
[11:31] <yes-ubuntu> Hello! I used xinput to list input devices and I am trying to disable the keyboard for 10 seconds and enable it back on after; for some reason, it does not seem to work? any suggestions, please? (I have Virtual core XTEST keyboard with id=5 and xwayland-keyboard:14 with id=9 both attached to Virtual core keyboard with id=3 and I am running xinput
[11:31] <yes-ubuntu> disable #id; sleep 10; xinput enable #id where I tried 9, 5 and 3 for the #id and none work?)
[12:14] <yes-ubuntu> I got disconnected, was there anyone for me? :)
[12:54] <Guest66> I need a little help with apparmor. I understand is an application security tool (as opposed to ufw which is a network firewall). From, ubuntu's note I see it uses profiles. Is there a lit of standard profiles supplied with 22.04LTS somewhere? Is there a list of additional profiles supplied with the apparmor-profiles package?
[13:03] <leftyfb> Guest66: what problem are you having with apparmor?
[13:04] <hwpplayer1> how can I turn back and select other application on dock with a click ?
[13:05] <hwpplayer1> turn back and turn again maybe to be more clear
[13:05] <hwpplayer1> sarnold: ^
[13:06] <Guest66> trying to understand it. For example, when I install the apparmor-profiles, will the contained profiles be automatically activated?
[13:07] <Guest66> how do I find out what profiles are actually in that package before installing it?
[13:13] <ogra> Guest66, i think the apparmor-profiles package just contains some generic bits ... actual app profiles will be shipped with the debs of the application/services you install ... in general apparmor is nothing you should touch though, the packagers will care for it if needed for an application
[13:14] <ogra> it is really nothing an enduser or admin should tinker with a lot ...
[13:25] <Guest66> ogra interesting. S my task is to 'harden' a Ubuntu server. The recommendation seems to be to install the apparmor-profiles package anway - it is not installed by default. There will be some apps used on it, the profiles for which will not likely be found in the standard profiles package. As I understand it, if one is to "secure" these apps wit
[13:25] <Guest66> apparmor, one needs to create a profile by using complain mode and then aa-genprof. Finally enforce the profile by switching from complain mode to enforce mode. Does that sound about right? On the other hand, one could simply install the default apparmor-profiles package and otherwise ignore it but I am not sure that would be classed as 'hardened'?
[13:28] <ogra> Guest66, if you really want to utilize apparmor and have fully hardened services on your server, package them as snap packages ;( ... beyond this i'd recommend to rather ask in #ubuntu-security for hardening tasks ... IIRC there are also "hardening howtos" somewhere
[13:28] <ogra> s/;(/😉/
[13:46] <esv> is there a way which packages have been held with aptitude?  apt-mark and dpkg have specific ways to display the status of the hold, but I don't find one for aptitude.
[13:46] <leftyfb> don't use aptitude
[13:47] <ogra> yeah ...
[13:47] <esv> can't control what customers use :)
[13:51] <ogra> esv, well, aptitude has never been a supported tool in ubuntu ... at least tell them that
[13:52] <effortDee> anyone know how i can disable my inbuilt laptop keyboard
[13:52] <effortDee> but keep my bluetooth one working?
[13:52] <effortDee> i cleaned my laptop now the keyboard is fucked and selects everything randomly and i have to restart every few minutes
[13:52] <effortDee> ive done xinput --list and float/reattach and managed to disable both keyboards at the same time but not seperately via terminal
[14:15] <akik> i get this for "ubuntu-drivers install driver:nvidia-driver-470" "No drivers found for installation." (ubuntu 20.04.6)
[14:15] <akik> can somebody tell me how to install that nvidia-driver-470 ?
[14:17] <akik> there's no man page for ubuntu-drivers
[14:17] <lotuspsychje> akik: ubuntu drivers can only install the ones in your list
[14:17] <lotuspsychje> akik: ubuntu-drivers list
[14:17] <leftyfb> akik: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470
[14:17] <akik> lotuspsychje: it's in the "ubuntu-drivers devices" list
[14:17] <lotuspsychje> akik: or added via the nvidia ppa
[14:18] <lotuspsychje> !nvidia
[14:18] <akik> "ubuntu-drivers list" shows "nvidia-driver-470"
[14:19] <lotuspsychje> thats weird
[14:19] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-driver-470 focal
[14:19] <akik> leftyfb: should i try apt instead?
[14:20] <akik> apt is able to install it
[14:21] <Minvera> Hi all I'm getting `E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)`
[14:21] <Minvera> when trying to `remove --purge` some package
[14:21] <Minvera> stuff like `rm: cannot remove '/etc/vmware/license*': No such file or directory`
[14:21] <lotuspsychje> Minvera: can you !paste the whole apt output of what you're doing please?
[14:23] <Minvera> https://hastebin.com/share/iwumaxonep.vbnet
[14:24] <lotuspsychje> something went wrong there Minvera
[14:24] <Minvera> can i manually remove the files and package?
[14:24] <lotuspsychje> i ean with your paste
[14:24] <lotuspsychje> *mean
[14:30] <Minvera> Got it working
[14:31] <Minvera> user:~$ sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/vmware* /tmp
[14:43] <Roey> hello, how do I restart the openvpn server process on Ubuntu? Is it "sudo systemctl restart openvpn@MYSERVERNAME.service"?
[14:53] <Minvera> Roey, i would just do sudo systemctl restart openvpn
[14:53] <Roey> ok thanks
[14:54] <Roey> Minvera: ok, thanks; it's just hanging there
[14:54] <Roey> is it supposed to do that?
[14:54] <Roey> oh nevermind
[14:54] <Roey> it just returned, with an error
[14:54] <Minvera> Roey, journalctl -u openvpn
[14:57] <Roey> Minvera: I got it
[14:58] <Roey> Minvera: I basically had to do sudo systemctl restart openvpn@server.service
[14:58] <Roey> since my openvpn conf file is called server.conf
[14:58] <akik> leftyfb: apt was able to install the nvidia-driver-470 and it works
[14:59] <akik> leftyfb: thanks
[15:02] <akik> leftyfb: i have the gtx 660ti and nvidia said v470 is for that card
[16:07] <vershan> please can someone assit if they can. I am looking for a Microsoft Teams Client for Ubuntu 22.04
[16:08] <leftyfb> vershan: I don't think there is one. Use the web client
[16:09] <vershan> @leftyfb, thanks, I will use the web client thanks
[16:09] <Quannah> hey there - using Lunar Lobster and Ubuntu MATE flavor. I decided to install ubuntu-gnome-desktop via apt. It seemed to go as normal, but has frozen at Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.37-0ubuntu2) ...
[16:10] <Quannah> If i interrupt this. will it break my system - as that seems a prety important component
[16:13] <Quannah> here's the console output pastebin https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/KK4M5PcvVr/    The 'Possible missing firmware' message is normal - i always get that as i'm using an AMD APU
[16:17] <Quannah> oh never mind - it actually finished processing it and returned to the console prompt - i'm a doofus - sorry
[17:03] <tripp4h> hi! is there a commandline tool to prevent ubuntu from turning off display, i'm booting on a live usb. from gui settings i have put screen blank to never, and tried 'gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0' but neither do help with it.
[17:07] <tripp4h> the display's turned off after about 15 seconds.
[17:14] <strive> tripp4h: Nothing you mentioned have worked for me in the past (tech lords know I've tried countless times) so I just use caffeine.
[17:19] <tripp4h> strive: i'm trying out caffeine, thanks!
[17:19] <strive> tripp4h: Sure thing :)
[17:20] <tripp4h> the screen wanted to go off hook but then caffeine prevented it! whee!
[17:20] <tripp4h> some of the windows were resized tho
[17:33] <tripp4h> oh lovely, it works! thanks again striv-!

[18:29] <yes-ubuntu> Hello! How do we report a bug in Ubuntu 23.04 ?
[18:29] <yes-ubuntu> (regarding nautilus)

[18:40] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2023912 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "When deleting a file (or files) via hitting the DEL button in Nautilus, the files deleted are still present in the window" [Undecided, New]
[18:59] <loose> yes-ubuntu: I got the same earier today and was wondering whether my mind just made it up, since I couldn't reproduce it
[18:59] <loose> I just created some test files and can sporadically reproduce it now
[19:08] <yes-ubuntu> loose: cool, thank you! You may wish to add your note to the bug as well if you like.

[19:14] <oerheks> oh, a long matrix question..
[19:16] <oerheks> maybe lvm or btrfs is a solution, clone your system as backup
[19:34] <wontfix[m]> Is there any reason to keep gnome-initial-setup and/or gnome-initial-setup-copy-worker as xdg autostart enabled applications post install or VM firstboot?
[19:51] <MaxRebo> Re! A client of mine is interested in implementing MFA with Ubuntu. The docs I read _seem_ reasonable. I have quite a lot of Linux sysadmin experience, mainly for VPS with lots of domains. I'm trying to get a read on how long it might take to implement.
[19:57] <sarnold> MaxRebo: there's a bunch of different tools that can provide different kinds of things; the google authenticator pam module is apparently pretty easy to use, there's loads of tutorials like https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/two-factor-authentication-ssh-key-ubuntu that look easy enough
[19:57] <sarnold> MaxRebo: there's similar pam modules from yubico for yubikeys and duo for whatever it is duo sells, and they might even be completely interchangable
[19:58] <sarnold> MaxRebo: if you're looking to set up some site-wide sso system with mfa support, that probably takes a bit more work
[20:02] <MaxRebo> Thanks! A client reviewed MFA in Jan/Feb, and seemingly passed. Now their launch is next Thursday, and they are bringing up MFA now. Based on the tutorials and the Google authenticator I'm confident I could _do_ it, but the project is way too.... large, visible and important for me to risk learning on the fly.
[20:58] <mitsubachi> hello, I'm going absolutely mad here
[20:58] <mitsubachi> running lunar, want to set my wifi regulatory domain

[20:59] <mitsubachi> what is the ubuntu method of setting regulatory region information?
[21:27] <BinarySavior> hello, I replaced my motherboard, CPU, RAM, kept the same SDD, now when booting I'm getting error: https://bpa.st/R4UQ4

[22:08] <jhutchins> In XFCE for some reason when I select "Open Link" in terminal (running irssi) it opens the link in firefox.  In "Default Applications" chrome is set as the default browser.  Where's the terminal getting firefox?
