[00:23] <ogra> leftyfb, just FYI /snap is only mountpoints ... there were no 19G 🙂 ... the actual compressed squashfs files live in /var/lib/snapd/snaps what /snap shows is the virtual content size only
[02:00] <eeprom> is ubuntu archive dns (or general connectivity) not working for anyone else right now?
[02:00] <eeprom> hmm... dns is fine, so maybe there is an outage of some kind?
[02:01] <eeprom> packages take a minute or two to fetch
[02:05] <guiverc> i noticed a slow download of upgrades earlier this morning (~4 hrs ago) but it was fine a few mins later.. temporary issues can occur on occasion.
[02:10] <guiverc> eeprom, I now also see questions on other support sites on slow downloads of upgrade/installs too
[02:10] <guiverc> i just installed a mantic update & it wasn't its normal 'speedy' self
[02:12] <eeprom> yeah.. : / i just chose another mirror from here for the time being: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[02:13] <eeprom> i wonder if the other mirror i chose has issues too: " libpython3.10 : Depends: libpython3.10-stdlib (= 3.10.4-3) but 3.10.6-1~22.04.2 is to be installed"
[02:13] <eeprom> could be that not all packages synced successfully recently
[02:17] <guiverc> i noted this yesterday (my local time) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/2025192 which was kernel related & impacting mirrors.. maybe related (mirror sync being issue?) but sorry I don't know...
[02:17] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2025192 in linux-meta (Ubuntu) "broken installation while mirror syncing new kernel packages" [Undecided, Confirmed]
[02:17] <eeprom> oh, i think the issue with the other server was that i forgot to add an entry for jammy-updates, so apt was refusing to downgrade packages automatically
[02:17] <guiverc> :)   as that's easy to fix
[02:18] <eeprom> haha, yeah : )
[05:59] <khadas> hgj
[06:00] <khadas> how can i do autostart script
[06:01] <khadas> ubuntu LTS
[06:44] <weedmic> software manager is not displaying search results - any ideas?  i thought it was because I had forgot to install biuld-essential, but I have done that now.
[06:49] <osse> I want to install Docker. There is a packager called docker but it seems to be a dummy. Perhaps I should use their apt repo. But then what is the point of this package?
[06:49] <osse> It only contains a copyright file and a changelog which is actually a symlink to the wmdocker's changelong
[06:50] <osse> Oh... the wmdocker package has nothing to do with docker :p
[06:51] <osse> and the docker package exists as a "synonym" I guess
[06:52] <weedmic> osse: install "docker" from muon (the transistional package).  it contains nothing, but allows you to run them.  then you can make or just get a docker container to see if it works.  I used to have one that played a simple game, but forgot what it was.
[06:53] <weedmic> i think it was maelstrom - but, it was before covid
[07:01] <weedmic> how do I force xapian to create a new index - i believe that is why the software manager is not working
[07:04] <weedmic> found "sudo update-apt-xapian-index -f", says "no module named 'debian" - ?  all I want to do is istall 3 dependecies
[07:18] <squarecircle> I'm a bit lost: Why can't my VM reach the public interface/IP of its Host machine? I sure had this probem with Virtualbox and now with KVM. I knew it did not work, but I never knew why. Is it a given? Can I do something about?
[07:28] <weedmic> squarecircle: it depends entirely on what network you choice on the host and how you setup the network inside the vm (especially if it is windows).  for example, host is bridged (or not), inside vm you need to tell it to use dhcp or give it a manual number.
[07:30] <weedmic> i need to provide libc.so.6 - anyone know what package contains that?  I think it migt be "libc6-dev", but unlike opensuse, I cannot seem to see inside to see what it provides.
[07:33] <ravage> dpkg -S libc.so.6
[07:33] <weedmic> will try - i think it might be in glibc-doc and or libc6-pic
[07:34] <weedmic> yes, it lists -ty ra
[07:34] <squarecircle> weedmic: its an internal network, natted via HOST, static IPs
[07:34] <weedmic> ravage:
[07:34] <weedmic> what is the host running vmware or virtualbox - and did you pick "bridged" or "NAT"?
[07:36] <squarecircle> weedmic: qemu/kvm, NAT
[07:38] <weedmic> and your goal is 1) just to get the vm to have internet, 2)to setup a nat network that can reach the internet?
[07:39] <squarecircle> weedmic: no, my goal is to let the VM reach the HOST on its public interface
[07:41] <weedmic> ravage: i did "dpkg -S libc.so.6" - i then did "sudo apt install /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 - returns unsupported file ... given on commandline - what did I do wrong
[07:42] <ravage> the package is libc6
[07:43] <weedmic> pls devine term "public interface" squarecircle - if you just want internet, swithc host to bridged and set vm to dhcp ip4.  if you really want to setup a NAT network, it isn't that complicated, but, that really isn't ubuntu related, but you are basically setting up a network and then attaching things (like vms) to it.  most people do not realy want that.
[07:43] <weedmic> but I did not know the term, so pls define it.
[07:49] <weedmic> ravage: nvm - i read the manual -S means already installed - so there is something wrong with the script for pe-bear as  itisn't finding it, and yet it is ther
[08:02] <weedmic> whe I try to start ./PE-bear (a pe editor), it reports that 3 files cannot be found yet are required.  for example libc.so.6, libQt5Core.so.5, and libstdc++.so.6 - all are installed on the system.  Do I need to add these locations to my path (which seems odd to me), create a symbolic link (in which case how do I find out where pe-bear wants them to be)? - something else?
[08:04] <weedmic> might be nvm - checking someting else
[08:51] <weedmic> in kde, when one clicks on the ?launcher? icon, it shows files sorted in categories.  how can I do that in ubuntu:GNOME?
[08:51] <weedmic> curently it lists all apps in alphabetical order - very phone like
[08:53] <lotuspsychje> weedmic: classicmenu indicator can do categories on gnome
[09:15] <weedmic> lotuspsychje: how do I turn that on?
[09:15] <weedmic> or switch to it
[09:15] <weedmic> theonly options I see are "all" or "frequent"
[09:17] <lotuspsychje> weedmic: install the package, logout and back in
[09:17] <lotuspsychje> !info classicmenu-indicator
[09:20] <weedmic> oic, it replaces what I have now - interesting.
[09:21] <weedmic> ty - will discuss with others who use the machine
[10:34] <squarecircle> weedmic: I can't use bridged as I have more VMS than IPs
[10:35] <squarecircle> weedmic: Public IP / Public Interface is the IP/Interface, thats accessible to the Outside.
[11:03] <memoreda> mnl_cb_run: Argument list too long
[11:03] <memoreda> [-] msgget: No space left on device
[11:06] <weedmic> squarecircle:
[11:07] <weedmic> too fast that - I was going to say if the vm has a fixed ip, then you need to take it into consideration, but the english is to fancy, but I think that is what you said/menat.
[13:45] <throwthecheese> I'm looking for a touch-friendly file manager

[15:32] <Bliepo> Hello everybody. I have my /boot parition (root is on a ZFS array) on a NVME SSD that is on the point of failing. To make matters more complicated, I only have one NVME slot. Can I use grub-mkrescue to somehow boot from a USB drive. And when that has worked, how do I create a new /boot parition?
[15:34] <Bliepo> Or alternatively, if there is some way of cloning the current boot parition to another system (I have a system with a spare NVME slot), that´s also fine with me.
[15:34] <tekisui_> you can use [startup disk creator] to make an usb with ubuntu system
[15:36] <Bliepo> Hmmm
[15:36] <Bliepo> And then chroot into the existing system?
[15:39] <tekisui_> it may start up ubuntu that way from the usb
[15:40] <tekisui_> you should be able to acces the current system that way
[15:40] <Bliepo> Yeah, that should work
[15:40] <Bliepo> Still need to come up with some way of recreating the /boot parition from there though
[15:42] <tekisui_> this might help: https://superuser.com/questions/614257/how-do-i-recreate-a-wiped-boot-filesystem-in-ubuntu
[15:43] <tekisui_> ah this is ten years old, i dunno
[15:43] <Bliepo> Well, the basic concept should still apply. Just not sure about the EFI parition.
[15:46] <jhutchins> !clonezilla
[15:46] <jhutchins> http://www.clonezilla.org/
[15:49] <Bliepo> Alright, I think I got it
[15:49] <Bliepo> Make a bootable USB. Then combine instructions from https://superuser.com/questions/614257/how-do-i-recreate-a-wiped-boot-filesystem-in-ubuntu and https://fekir.info/post/restore-efi-partition-with-grub/
[15:51] <toddc>   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[15:53] <oerheks> but if you started wrong without an EFI partition, i would start fresh
[15:53] <oerheks> also you get GPT
[16:05] <tryauuum> what's the best network (PXE or something else) provisioning tool? I plan only to install ubuntu, and want the tool to be able to provision md raid sometimes.
[16:13] <tekisui_> something like this tryauuum: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-netbox-network-documentation-and-management-tool-on-ubuntu-22-04/
[16:13] <tekisui_> ?
[16:15] <tryauuum> tekisui_: netbox is a cool thing and we already use it, but it's only for documentation, it's like a single source of truth about your servers' physical location
[16:16] <tekisui_> ok..
[16:16] <tryauuum> I'm searching something like maas or FAI, but I don't know what is better
[16:37] <ogra> tryauuum, well, given that maas is developed by ubuntu devs he choice should be clear 😉
[16:37] <ogra> s/he/the/
[16:41] <tekisui_> am living close to the maas
[16:41] <tekisui_> :)
[16:52] <tryauuum> tkisui_: what?..
[16:52] <tekisui_> it´s a river
[17:03] <tekisui_> why is /usr/local/etc/
[17:03] <tekisui_> completely empt ??
[17:03] <leftyfb> tekisui_: why would you expect anything to be in there?
[17:03] <tekisui_> :y
[17:04] <tekisui_> ah am used to being much directories there
[17:04] <tekisui_> i need to sex xorg
[17:04] <tekisui_> set*
[17:04] <tekisui_> so it´s normal it´s completely empty ?
[17:04] <leftyfb> yes
[17:04] <tekisui_> ahhh verry strange
[17:05] <oerheks>   /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[17:05] <tekisui_> ah yes that´s it, merci
[17:06] <oerheks> thse are examples
[17:08] <tekisui_> and now reboot ?
[17:08] <tekisui_> damn seems to work :DD
[17:09] <tekisui_> this took me 6 months or so..
[17:31] <toriality> hey I'm new to linux and its been a while im configuring i3wm, everything working fine except for some programs that displays very tiny fonts
[17:31] <toriality> any idea what could it be?
[17:35] <nvmd> no idea.. scaling?
[17:40] <tekisui_> settings ->configure/fonts
[17:41] <tekisui_> LXQt - appearance in ubuntu (fonts)
[17:44] <tekisui_> toriality: LXQt - appearance in ubuntu (fonts)
[17:44] <tekisui_> else settings of the program ->configure/fonts
[17:45] <oerheks> maybe
[17:45] <oerheks>  some programs
[17:45] <oerheks> have their own theming/fonts?
[17:49] <toriality> I dont think I have LXQt, what I tried is to set Xft.dpi on .Xresources, it worked for programs like GIMP and HexChat but other programs like Firefox had gigantic fonts
[17:49] <tekisui_> firefox you can set fonts or try CTRL  +/ -
[17:50] <toriality> the top/address font
[17:50] <tekisui_> hmm
[17:57] <ioria> toriality, i don't use i3, but might be a snap issue; you can try with the .deb pkg, but just a speculation
[18:27] <Beladona> How to change xorg log file path? currenty is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:27] <leftyfb> Beladona: what's wrong with that location?
[18:27] <Beladona> well want to make it /dev/null
[18:28] <Beladona> until I fix the error. its toooooo much logs
[18:28] <Beladona> eating the disk
[18:28] <Beladona> leftyfb ?
[18:31] <leftyfb> you could maybe try deleting the file and creating it as a symlink to /dev/null
[18:32] <Beladona> leftyfb ok..
[18:32] <Beladona> leftyfb no other way?
[18:35] <Beladona> leftyfb ln -s  /dev/null /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:35] <Beladona> warning: An error occurred while redirecting file '/dev/null'
[18:35] <Beladona> open: Operation not supported
[18:37] <leftyfb> do it as root
[18:38] <Beladona> already root
[18:38] <leftyfb> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/fFMqySTPns/
[18:38] <Beladona> right but not happining here
[18:39] <leftyfb> https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/67BzxDsTvW/
[18:39] <leftyfb> with full paths
[18:39] <leftyfb> run it like I'm doing it. Xorg is probably writing to the log between you deleting it and trying to link it
[18:39] <leftyfb> you might need to stop xorg first
[18:41] <Beladona> stopping xor gmeans stopping all apps
[18:41] <leftyfb> yes
[18:45] <Beladona> leftyfb can you paste here.
[18:46] <Beladona> some issues going with browser
[18:46] <leftyfb> rm /var/log/Xorg.0.log && ln -s /dev/null /var/log/Xorg.0.log && ls -l /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:46] <rfm> I don't think this symlink is going to help, since the next time xorg starts it will move Xorg.0.log to Xorg.0.log.old and create a new one
[18:49] <rfm> putting "-logfile /dev/null" on the Xorg start line would probably work but that would require digging through the display manager config to find where to do it
[18:49] <Beladona> rfm ok wher is the start line?
[18:49] <Beladona> xdm
[18:50] <rfm> Beladona, I don't know, never used xdm.  What ubuntu flavor uses xdm?
[18:51] <Beladona> xfce
[18:51] <Beladona> but not sure
[20:06] <ninunin> can someone help me how to install wicd-gtk from usb, i have deleted network-manager...
[20:08] <leftyfb> ninunin: wicd-gtk is no longer available/supported in any supported releases of ubuntu
[20:08] <ninunin> leftyfb, i have ubuntu-studio 14.04
[20:09] <leftyfb> ninunin: that is verymuch not supported here
[20:09] <leftyfb> ninunin: you are 4 years behind since it went EOL
[20:09] <oerheks> good luck with that vulnerable honeypot .. it should not connect to the internet
[20:09] <leftyfb> not sure I'd go that far
[20:10] <leftyfb> but yeah, time to upgrade
[22:12] <syphyr> When I initially start firefox (from snap), I get the following apparmor denial, but only on the first start: apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" profile="/snap/core/15419/usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine" pid=3057 comm="snap-confine" capability=4  capname="fsetid"
[22:13] <syphyr> I added "capability fsetid," to /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap-confine.core.15419 and the issue went away
[22:13] <syphyr> is this a bug in snap's core?
[22:14] <oerheks> that happens when you start firefox from terminal?
[22:14] <sarnold> syphyr: it's probably worth asking in #snappy , yeah
[22:14] <syphyr> it happens when i start firefox from desktop
[22:15] <ravage> does that message actually prevent firefox from starting?
[22:15] <syphyr> no firefox works with the denial
[22:15] <ravage> then dont worry about it too much
[22:17] <syphyr> ok
[22:18] <syphyr> ill mention it in #snappy though
[22:18] <syphyr> thanks
[22:30] <syphyr> there also seems to be a bug in firefox's snap package that causes this denial on initial startup: apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="snap-update-ns.firefox" name="/var/lib/" pid=3080 comm="5" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0
[22:31] <syphyr> i added "/var/lib/ r," and "/var/lib/snapd/ r," to /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap-update-ns.firefox tp fix it
[22:31] <syphyr> although still a benign denial
[23:05] <ogra> syphyr, note that this will be reverted on next snap update, the profiles are auto-generated at insall and upgrade
[23:05] <syphyr> yah
[23:06] <syphyr> was just a test
[23:25] <brunoxit> roblox
[23:42] <imi> hi
[23:42] <imi> firefox doesn't work on my ubuntu. I tried snap remove && install
[23:42] <imi> ff still doesn't work
[23:42] <imi>  /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope is not a snap cgroup
[23:43] <imi> given the fact that ff doesn't work I can't even run ubuntu-bug I guess
[23:44] <sarnold> ouch :(
[23:44] <imi> indeed
[23:44] <sarnold> ubuntu-bug can give you an url to load via another method; you could use chromium-browser for that, if you can get into launchpad with it
[23:45] <sarnold> my *guess* is that there's probably orphaned firefox processes or something, and sufficient application of kill -9 ... can make it better; try ps auxw | grep -i fire   and see if you can spot anything that looks like firefox?
[23:47] <imi> sarnold: I didn't get an url. the only output ubuntu-bug generated into my terminal window is: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope is not a snap cgroup
[23:47] <sarnold> imi: ewwwwwwwwwww
[23:47] <sarnold> ogra: ^^ any chance you're still around? any chance you've got any idea what the heck this means? :)
[23:48] <imi> try ps auxw|grep -v grep | grep -i fire gives 0 lines
[23:48] <imi> I mean
[23:48] <imi> ps auxw|grep -v grep | grep -i fire gives 0 lines
[23:48] <sarnold> dang :(
[23:50] <imi> well, all my snap packages do the same
[23:50] <imi> well, all my snap *desktop* packages do the same to be precise
[23:51] <imi> joplin works, joplin-desktop says /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope is not a snap cgroup
