jongstai want to add a shell user on an ubuntu system that won't have a password but will require an ssh keypair. i'd like to have this scripted so that it prompts for the pub key to be added and sets a home directory and shell to /bin/bash. anyone got a handy script for this?00:04
sarnolddeadrom: yikes that's an ugly trace, what'd you do to get that?00:05
sarnolddeadrom: yeah, there was enough spam and abuse on the pastebin that they closed it down enough that it's not really used much any more ;( I usually pipe things through | nc termbin.com 9999   but paste.debian.net is nice for browser use00:06

deadromsarnold, if only I knew! that entire system is behaving erratic since today. worked peachy for 3 days. today I set out to get the mobo nic working, even with everything unapplied even the live usb systems are now acting up.

guivercGuest10, usr/local is a relative directory; however /usr/local/ may require elevated permissions to write changes into.. thus you may need to elevate app's privileges. I just tested & i can with my DE/release... but normally I'd just do it at terminal06:25

Guest10can someone help?06:32
guivercI don't understand your issues Guest10 ; you've given no OS/release nor desktop details.. mentioned a relative directory (ie. /usr/ and usr/ are very different).. but it'll be harder if you're using a release using *snap* packages or Core (where all ares run confined)06:35

danieliHello. I am having some issues with Focal installs, it appears that /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/focal (presumably from debootstrap-udeb) is missing rather than being a symlink to 'gutsy' in the same directory. Is this a known issue, and is there a good way to figure out what happened to the package?14:18
danieliI am highly familiar with Debian but not quite as much with Ubuntu, so I figured I would ask here before digging around in the package archives.14:19
danielisomeone *just* posted https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/2024200 so I will follow that one up14:48
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2024200 in debootstrap (Ubuntu) "[debootstrap] /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/focal missing" [Undecided, New]14:48
ogradanieli, ubuntu only uses /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy anyway ... all others are just symlinks to gutsy ... yu should be able to just add that symlink yourself ... also note that ubuntu does not use debian-installer anymore so there are no udebs anywhere14:57
danieliogra: indeed, but my org is in a specific use case stuck to using Ubuntu 20 due to it supporting the old Debian installer, which is where this issue is applicable14:59

CumbaLitHi, is Ubuntu Desktop available on arm64?16:41
deadromCumbaLit: arm64 is supported, depending on your platform you may need a vendor specific image, say raspi4, odroid16:42
deadromotherwise: https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm16:43
deadromah, server image, my fault.16:43
CumbaLitdeadrom ha, I was about to say :)16:45
deadromfrom there you can install desktop environments of course, but it all depends if you have supported graphics hardware.16:46
deadromhttps://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jammy/daily-live/current/16:46
deadromthese are not officially supported from what I gather. what platform do you use?16:46

CumbaLitdeadrom trying to run a vm with an m2 chip on my mac. I was hoping for an easy install don't feel like tinkering with much to get it working16:51
deadromCumbaLit: an arm64 vm on an m2 host?16:52
CumbaLitdeadrom that's right16:53
deadromsounds like a qemu job. but if you are out for a foreign platform anyway, why not run an x64 vm?16:54
CumbaLitdeadrom I could but I want to run it on my mac and will not let me run x64 vms because of the m2 chip arch16:59
deadrom"ARM based", no idea how arm M2 actually is. is it arm64 compat?16:59
deadromCumbaLit: have you tried VirtualBox? the 7 series have Mx support, but still in the early stage17:00
CumbaLitdeadrom yes it is, not a chip expert but as far as I know is fully backwards compatible with added proprietary instruction sets for apple stuff like neural engine etc.17:01
CumbaLitdeadrom I haven't, I'm on VMware Fusion 13 which is the latest and will not boot with an x64 iso. Just errors out telling me I have to use an arm ISO17:03
deadromguess the arm64.isos from the unsupported builds are your best shot. that or a dedicated machine :)17:04
oerheksarm server as a start, and choose your de17:04
oerhekshow hard can that be?17:04
deadromdepending on gpu support up to impossible. worth a shot though17:05

amcsihelp, in my Xubuntu when booting all the title bars are missing. How best to fix?18:50
jhutchinsamcsi: Which release?  Do you mean the title bars for the application windows, or in a specific app?18:55
jhutchinsamcsi: Also, what do you mean by "when booting".18:55
oerheksproblem solved, probably19:03
amcsijhutchins, 22.0419:06
amcsijhutchins, application windows, all of them19:06
amcsinever mind the on booting part19:07
amcsiI just mean the issue persists even when restarting19:07
amcsialso the desktop items seem to be missing19:09
amcsihere is an example of how windows look: https://imgur.com/a/zEiHUCs19:10

oerheksmaybe this helps, reset panel config, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1417774/problems-with-panel-in-xubuntu-22-0419:12
amcsithanks, I've run those commands and now I'm restarting19:16
amcsisadly it didn't help19:16
amcsibut it did reset my xfce configuration19:16
amcsiany way to uninstall and reinstall xfce perhaps?19:20
amcsimaybe apt uninstall then reinstall xubuntu-desktop?19:23
amcsiwow, removing xubuntu-desktop, purging, doing autoremove, then reinstalling xubuntu-desktop achieved nothing at all19:26
amcsiafter a reboot I still see the exact same problem19:26
rboxwhy would removing files and adding the exact same files back change anything19:27
leftyfbamcsi: create a new user and login as that new user. That will give us some more info19:27
amcsidon't know, maybe it would have removed some botched config files along the way19:27
amcsileftyfb, good idea19:27
amcsiI already had another user actually...19:29
amcsiand wow, the other user works perfectly!19:29
amcsiso it must be a home/config issue, huh?19:30
leftyfbyep19:30
amcsithis is helpful. any ideas on which configuration I should probably remove?19:31
leftyfbI'm not familiar with xcfe and where it stores it's configurations19:32

amcsilemme see19:40
amcsixangua, wow, that worked too. and no restart was needed19:42
amcsinow I'll try rebooting again to see if the fix gets persisted19:42
xanguaamcsi: check that xfwm is enabled in: xfce settings>session>startup19:43
amcsiafter rebooting it doesn't work anymore again19:44

ubottuchrony (4.3-1ubuntu4, lunar): Versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol. In component main, is extra. Built by chrony. Size 297 kB / 610 kB. (Only available for linux-any.)21:21
tomreynRickyRat5005: so those 'lockups' you're discussing, they're about the graphics freezing, or the entire system? you can tell the difference by e.g. switching to a tty with a keyboard shortcut (such as ctrl-alt-F3) and pressing ctrl-alt-del there. if the system then reboots cleanly (give it a minute or two) then this was 'just' a graphics driver issue.21:25
tomreynanother way you can test, but worse, since it doesn't allow for a clean shutdown, is:21:25
tomreyn!sysrq21:26
ubottuIn an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key21:26
RickyRat5005Seems like the whole system, I can't even ssh in from another machine when it locks up.21:26
tomreynthese are handled by the kernel, so if they still succeed it means the kernel still works21:26
RickyRat5005I wanted to ssh in to see what is going on.21:26
tomreynthe first approach requires both kernel and userspace to still work21:26
RickyRat5005Ok, I will try that.21:27
tomreynif you can reboot using one of these methods, there's a better chance to actually catch the root cause on your logs, too, which did not succeed so far21:28
RickyRat5005Gotcha.21:29
RickyRat5005Am I having so many problems because I am not using LTS or because I am using NVIDIA? I love linux but honestly (Sadly) have less problems when running Windows.21:30
RickyRat5005And I don't really want to go back to Windows.21:30
jhutchinsRickyRat5005: Remember the hardware companies build for Windows, not for Linux.  That the hardware works in linux is entirely secondary, and often nothing to do with the vendor.21:32
tomreyni guess we haven't yet learnt what is happening exactly (user space, kernel, graphics driver failing) nor what is causing it, so it's hard to tell so far.21:32
RickyRat5005ok, thanks.21:33
