| oerheks | ehm, if one runs firefox from terminal, such warnings are normal. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| oerheks | why running firefox from terminal? | 00:01 |
| syphyr | im not running from terminal.. this is in syslog | 00:02 |
| syphyr | but i'll assume if it was a real issue then firefox would not actually start | 00:03 |
| syphyr | these scope permission messages seem common | 00:04 |
| syphyr | and if there was a scope issue with systemd, then "systemd-run --user --scope echo hello" would fail | 00:06 |
| syphyr | weird, I only see those scope permission denied messages when starting firefox from the desktop file | 00:18 |
| syphyr | if I start it from terminal, there is no problem | 00:18 |
| rbox | syphyr: what command is the .desktop file running | 00:18 |
| syphyr | Exec=env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop /snap/bin/firefox %u | 00:19 |
| rbox | are you running it like that? | 00:19 |
| syphyr | if I cd to /snap/bin and run ./firefox then there is no permission error | 00:20 |
| rbox | thats not what that exec line is... | 00:21 |
| syphyr | if i run "env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop /snap/bin/firefox" from terminal | 00:22 |
| syphyr | then no permission error | 00:22 |
| syphyr | something with the desktop file is calling systemd | 00:23 |
| syphyr | in a weird way | 00:23 |
| rbox | its the context of the window manager | 00:24 |
| syphyr | ahh.. i think i see why | 00:24 |
| rbox | vs the context of the terminal | 00:25 |
| syphyr | i have two versions of firefox installed | 00:25 |
| rbox | lol | 00:25 |
| syphyr | one from the deb file | 00:25 |
| syphyr | and one from snap | 00:25 |
| syphyr | one of the snap firefox.desktop files has an exec line like this: Exec=firefox %u | 00:26 |
| syphyr | ill bet that if I remove the older firefox from the deb then the permission error goes away | 00:27 |
| syphyr | just a theory | 00:27 |
| syphyr | i could just edit the desktop file to point to /snap/bin/ | 00:27 |
| === halvors1 is now known as halvors | ||
| syphyr | err, no.. | 00:28 |
| syphyr | this is the one that i think its using: /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/firefox_firefox.desktop | 00:29 |
| syphyr | and that one is pointing to /snap/bin/ | 00:29 |
| syphyr | nope, there is a difference b/n running exec command from terminal and clicking on desktop file | 00:39 |
| syphyr | but i dont see it | 00:39 |
| syphyr | running exec command has no errors | 00:39 |
| syphyr | problem solved by adding "systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller=1" to grub | 01:31 |
| syphyr | it was a systemd bug | 01:31 |
| rbox | i dont know how enabling a legacy feature in the kernel to fix an error is a "bug" | 01:32 |
| === halvors1 is now known as halvors | ||
| syphyr | its not enabling a legacy feature in the kernel.. | 01:54 |
| syphyr | its enabling a legacy feature in systemd | 01:54 |
| syphyr | the kernel does not have legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller in the code | 01:55 |
| syphyr | but this is only an issue when using a super old version of systemd | 01:55 |

| Guest7825 | rbox, thanks, I just setup a vm router on this Ubuntu 22.04 desktop, just trying to map out the virtual connections https://i.imgur.com/gbwM3aD.png | 04:25 |
| Guest7825 | rbox, so line 2 would be the gateway for the host (Ubuntu 22.04), where would I enter GW 100.64.0.1? 100.64.0.1 is also the IP of the bridged ISP router? | 04:27 |
| rbox | that came from dhcp | 04:27 |
| Guest7825 | rbox, ok, so the ISP bridged router must be assigned 100.64.0.1 either from the ISP public WAN IP or from the vm router 192.168.1.170? | 04:29 |
| rbox | wherver you are getting the dhcp from | 04:29 |
| Guest7825 | rbox, I have listed 100.64.0.1 in the ISP bridged router. Is this wrong or should I also add a GW 100.64.0.1 somewhere on the host's interfaces? | 04:29 |
| Guest7825 | rbox, the dhcp is probably coming from the vm router, however I notice the ISP bridged router already has 100.64.0.1 before I create the vm router. Therefore the bridged router might be getting 100.64.0.1 from the ISP's public WAN IP? | 04:31 |

| tomreyn | Guest6170: if you renamed devices required for booting, you will need to run update-initramfs and update-grub while all file systems of the proper system are mounted. you can get to this point by either booting off an ubuntu installer/live usb and chroot-ing into the installed system, or by using the recovery option from grub's Advanced menu, then manually setting up all block devices / mounts as needed. | 16:59 |

| Guest6170 | My files are in ssd2. I want to decrypt and mount my ssd2 so I can copy my files to ssd1 | 21:14 |
| Guest6170 | Nope, can't do that because they have same names "vgubuntu" | 21:14 |
| Guest6170 | That ssd will automatically disappear from file manager because they have the same name | 21:15 |

| tomreyn | did you file bug reports, yet? | 21:15 |
| tomreyn | because just reporting something on an irc self-support chat isn't going to get it fixed | 21:16 |
| Guest6170 | Surely Ubuntu has PAID developers in this chat who will get it fixed, r-right? | 21:17 |
| jhutchins | Guest6170: No. | 21:17 |
| jhutchins | Guest6170: This channel is almost entirely fellow users who may know something about your questions. | 21:18 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: IRC is a horrible bug tracker | 21:18 |
| jhutchins | Guest6170: Some of us are waiting for answers to our own questions. We also learn from other people's questions and solutions. | 21:19 |
| tomreyn | and you'll get the same response from any other distro, even the more commercial ones | 21:19 |
| Guest6170 | Now my Ubuntu crashes/freezes when trying to copy folders from ssd2 to ssd1 | 21:19 |
| Guest6170 | Great! Got high end hardware too specifically so I could get a good workstation | 21:19 |
| jhutchins | The more commercial ones tend to have less community support. | 21:19 |
| tomreyn | but will still not take bug reports from irc | 21:20 |
| Guest6170 | It is 7700X Ryzen + 6700XT, 64 Ram etc and still freezes | 21:20 |
| Guest6170 | Jfc Ubuntu get your shit fixed | 21:20 |
| leftyfb | !bug | Guest6170 | 21:20 |
| ubottu | Guest6170: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 21:20 |
| jhutchins | Guest6170: That's not how OS software works. | 21:21 |
| Guest6170 | The fact it freezes when copying files isn't a particular bug | 21:21 |
| tomreyn | Guest6170: no need to curse. | 21:21 |
| Guest6170 | It's just a badly designed system/drivers problem etc | 21:21 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: "freezing" is a bug. | 21:21 |
| jhutchins | Guest6170: You're free to use a different distro. | 21:22 |
| Guest6170 | How do I find out what exactly is causing the bug? | 21:22 |
| jhutchins | Guest6170: Or Windows for that matter. | 21:22 |
| Guest6170 | How do I try to understand what is causing errors when my Ubuntu freezes/crashes when it shouldn't? | 21:22 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: what release of ubuntu are you running? | 21:22 |
| tomreyn | you read your logs and spend time to get a better understanding of what they mean, like all of us do | 21:22 |
| Guest6170 | 22.04 LTS | 21:23 |
| Guest6170 | How do I read the logs? | 21:23 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: stock Ubuntu Gnome desktop install or is it one of other flavors? | 21:24 |
| Guest6170 | Stock amd64 iso | 21:24 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: which kernel? ( run "uname -a" in a terminal ) | 21:24 |
| Guest6170 | Tried Kubuntu 22.04 but just wouldn't work, annoying bugs here and there which would make Plasma crash/freeze | 21:24 |
| Guest6170 | 5.19.0.-45 | 21:25 |
| Guest6170 | How do I read the logs? | 21:26 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: do you have the 3rd party drivers installed for your GPU? | 21:26 |
| Guest6170 | No proprietary drivers in use | 21:26 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: can you try? | 21:26 |
| Guest6170 | The amd graphic card drivers from Amd website? Yes I can | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | the journalctl command lets you access your system logs. other logs may exist in /var/log and $HOME/.local | 21:27 |
| leftyfb | no, from the "additional drivers" utility built into ubuntu | 21:27 |
| Guest6170 | But doubt that's the problem. How do I find out what is causing it to freeze? It really shouldn't as it's high end hardware | 21:27 |
| Guest6170 | Let me upload a photo of my hardware | 21:28 |
| rardiol1 | Hi, anyone knows how to run xrandr for another seat on a multiseat setup with lightdm? I can do it if the other seat is logged in but "sudo -u lightdm env DISPLAY=:1 xrandr" gives a "Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified Can't open display :1" error message | 21:28 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: high end hardware, especially with a discrete GPU, I've seen act unstable if the proprietary drivers aren't installed | 21:28 |
| leftyfb | rardiol1: isn't the other "seat" running as a different user? | 21:29 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: as for logs, I would start with running "dmesg -Tw" in a terminal and trying to reproduce the issue | 21:29 |
| Guest6170 | https://ibb.co/7tz0N50 | 21:29 |
| leftyfb | Guest6170: you can also run "nautilus" from a terminal and watch the messages there while you try to reproduce the issue | 21:29 |
| Guest6170 | That's my hardware | 21:29 |
| rardiol1 | leftyfb: it's not logged in yet, there's nothing on the screen, I want to run xrandr to see if I can fix it. | 21:30 |
| leftyfb | rardiol1: login as the user | 21:30 |
| rardiol1 | A bit hard when I don't see anything but guess I can configure autologin and try that. thanks | 21:30 |
| leftyfb | rardiol1: you do know xrandr doesn't save the settings right? | 21:33 |
| rardiol1 | leftyfb: frankly I just want to know if the monitor settings are available at all because I'm not sure if my setup theoretically works | 21:34 |
| oerheks | check your mobo for a bios update, current is F9A https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650M-GAMING-X-AX-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios | 21:38 |
| Guest6170 | I have updated it to the last version | 21:38 |
| Guest6170 | I will try the drivers from amd website. So far it seems the problem happens only when copying large sized folders from ss2 to ss1. Hope it's not a common issue as this is supposed to be my main workstation rig | 21:41 |
| tomreyn | you most likely don't want the amd graphics drivers from amd.com, but stick to those that ubuntu provides. | 21:43 |
| leftyfb | 2023 Jun 18 17:27:33 <leftyfb>no, from the "additional drivers" utility built into ubuntu | 21:44 |
| tomreyn | well they won't be there either because they're open source | 21:44 |
| Guest6170 | They are not there | 21:44 |
| tomreyn | better focus on your logs. | 21:44 |

| rardiol1 | leftyfb: for some reason the autologin didn't actually work but configuring it and rebooting made the screen work. Thanks for the help. | 21:49 |

| Crell | Hi folks. Slightly silly question. I am replacing one of my 3 hard drives, which is I believe failing. sda. However... I'm not sure which of the 3 physical drives is sda. :-) What's the easiest way to figure that out? Can I get a serial number from the OS somehow and then check the hardware, or is there a better way? | 22:32 |
| oerheks | sudo hdparm -i /dev/sd* # would show info and serialnr | 22:35 |
| oerheks | udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sda | grep ID_SERIAL | 22:36 |
| oerheks | more than one solution | 22:36 |
| oerheks | do that for sdb and sdc and so on | 22:37 |
| Crell | Hm. The hdparm one is giving me a DMA fail "inappropriate ictl for device" on all three drives. | 22:37 |
| Crell | udevadm works, though. | 22:37 |
| oerheks | you think your hdd fails, maybe it is the controller? | 22:37 |
| Crell | Not impossible, I suppose. The symptoms are overall system slowness on seemingly any IO, yet low load. I ran smartctl -t short on each of the drives, and sda never finished, but the other two did. Hence I concluded sda was dying. (It's a 3 disk RAID5 array.) | 22:39 |
| === hey is now known as JHM | ||
| === JHM is now known as JohnHolmesMiskat | ||
| Crell | Well this is fun. mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sda # Reports no such device. There's also an md1, but it doesn't seem to be found there, either. Yet I know it's there, because I could try running smart tests on it. Wha? | 23:14 |
| Lagair | I seem to be doing something wrong. I have used linux as a desktop, off and on, for about 20 years. The desktop has gotten where I don't even really notice that I'm not in Windows anymore. Except for one thing, the handling of multi-monitors. I have constantly fought this. I run 3 4k screens on one video card. Upon screen wake, I have to re-setup | 23:31 |
| Lagair | everything, every time. Either Gnome forgets the number of screens, the location, the resolution, or the scaling. If not all of the above. Then I have to reposition all my windows. Please tell me that I'm doing something wrong and not that Gnome is terrible at multiple screens. If so, what DM and WM should I be running to not have these problems? | 23:31 |
