[04:53] <Guest35> I'm trying to install 22.04 LTS server on a hard drive with a previously installed OS on it (which I want to overwrite). In the guided storage config screen, I select "Use an entire disk" and "Set up this disk as an LVM group". On the next screen, the installer says it will create three mount points (/, /boot, /boot/efi) with sizes 54.367G, 2.000G,
[04:53] <Guest35> and 1.049G respectively. Under Available Devices, it shows ubuntu-vg (new) using 108.734G and then free space taking 54.367G. My entire drive is 120 GB. Shouldn't the ubuntu-vg take up the entire disk? Is it not doing so because of the pre-existing OS on the drive?
[04:54] <rbox> if you're worried dabout the partitoins that already exist, then delete them
[04:54] <Guest35> my goal is to make sure my previous data is overwritten and I start with a "fresh install"
[04:55] <Guest35> rbox, under "Used Devices", under my disk label (Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_120GB), it shows 3 partitions, but they all say "new", does that mean I should be good?
[04:56] <rbox> no clue
[04:56] <rbox> but like i said, if you are worried, just delete them yourself
[04:57] <Guest35> rbox, thanks, should i format as ext4?
[04:58] <rbox> format what
[04:58] <Guest35> after removing the partitions, the drive, I guess
[04:58] <Guest35> sorry I'm a noob
[04:59] <rbox> step 1 delete the partitions
[04:59] <rbox> step 2 profit
[04:59] <rbox> there is nothing else
[05:00] <Guest35> ok I try to delete a partition and it says "Cannot delete a single partition from a device that already has partitions."

[12:13] <bluf0x> Hi, please can someone assist? im trying to add a repo that includes [arch=amd64 signed-by=/...], it adds successfully using echo and it updates successfuly using apt update, however the problem is that this repo does NOT show under Software & Updates > Other Software.  The only time it reflects correctly is if i remove the "signed-by" parameter within the .list file.  I also cannot add a repo via the Software & Updates > Other Software GUI, if i
[12:13] <bluf0x> include the signed-by parameter, its still greyed out and doesnt allow me to add it.
[12:13] <bluf0x> Is there an existing issue with the Software & Updates GUI ?  To reproduce the issue, you can try adding a repo that includes the signed-by parameter, even if you dont put arch=amd64, it STILL wont show up in the GUI.

[12:22] <bluf0x> @ravage, ah thank you for that, for some reason the launchpad bugs dont show up on any web search.  Its funny that this bug has not been fixed yet almost 1 year later.
[12:23] <weedmic> I don't understand enough about the goal to offer anything useful bluf0x
[12:28] <bluf0x> ravage, do you know if this bug will get fixed in jammy?
[12:29] <ravage> No idea
[12:29] <ravage> Mark yourself as affected
[12:30] <ravage> And hope for the best
[12:37] <lotuspsychje> bluf0x: a good practice to speedup bug solving, is marking yourself affected and find others to do the same, then do some tests yourself and keep the bug active/alive
[12:39] <bluf0x> lotuspsychje, so if only a few people are affected, does the bug fixing get ignored? is that why it takes months and years for launchpad to fix a bug, because not enough users mark themselves as affected?
[12:40] <lotuspsychje> bluf0x: there are several reasons why bugs dont get solved right away, it can depends on the dev(s) of the packages aswell or some bugs need to get solved upstream too
[12:41] <bluf0x> thank you lotuspsychje

[13:55] <hid3> Greetings everyone. Does 'unattended-upgrades' run on daily basis or does it run only on system shutdown? Is there any way to check that?
[13:55] <hid3> 22.04 LTS, obviously
=== alprolife is now known as tractelimon
[14:14] <ppw> there is a way to check, but I don't know off the top of my head. likely in /etc/apt
[14:15] <ppw>  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
[14:16] <ppw> or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
[14:18] <hid3> yeah, checked those files, all seems to be set up just the way I need
[14:18] <hid3> however, I'm not sure if there is a mechanism which launches it
[14:18] <hid3> e.g. cron or so
[14:19] <hid3> (there doesn't seem to be any cron job for it)
[14:19] <ppw> cron? why do you think it uses cron?
[14:20] <ppw> ubuntu uses systemd, and systemd uses timers
[14:20] <hid3> ah
[14:20] <hid3> yeah, there seeems to exist some apt related times
[14:20] <hid3> *timers
[14:20] <hid3> I guess I just need to wait and observe the logs
[14:21] <ppw> cat /var/log/apt/history.log
[14:21] <hid3> and cron is still something what exist and maany things use it :)
[14:21] <ppw> at least that's how it's set up in debian
[14:21] <ppw> not typically
[14:22] <ppw> if it does, it's likely set up via anacron, which, when used with systemd, very likely just sets up systemd timers
[14:26] <hid3> I'm planning to implement some cron jobs (cron daily, weekly, monthly) to do some system maintenance, downloading, backuping etc. Since I have a farm of VMs residing in one physical machine, I guess I should consider switching to anacron instead, in order to randomise start times of those scripts too avoid crowding the physical host resources instantly, at the same time. Or am I wrong with this assumption?
[14:27] <leftyfb> hid3: look into systemd timers
[14:29] <hid3> cron scripts are easier to set up. I just place the required script into /etc/cron.[daily|weekly|monthly] dir and done with that. With timer, I need to have that script placed elsewhere plus configure a .timer file
[14:29] <hid3> what advantages of timers am I missing?
[14:29] <ppw> if you really want to use cron/anacron, then check out systemd-cron.
[14:30] <leftyfb> hid3: systemd service/timers gives you more options and control. It's also the modern way to run timed jobs.
[14:31] <hid3> not a problem for me to configure the .timer file, just wanted to know the advantages of it. Alright, will consider all the options

[15:52] <Slartibart> tweak: I'm not sure which version of Ubuntu, should be at least 22.10 I think, though probably not 23.04. Does that match the bug?
[15:53] <tweak> Slartibart: no, it doesn't. That was a very old bug from kernal 5.
[15:54] <tweak> Slartibart: is this a new install or you didn't always get these bugs?

[15:57] <Slartibart> tweak: It appeared very recently, like yesterday, I updated some hardware related packages that ubuntu software updater said had newer versions. (Is there a log or something where recently installed package names are listed?) Yes, the install is using version 6.something of the kernel. It's not a new install, it's possible it's been used since kernel v5.
[15:58] <EriC^^> Slartibart: hold shift to get grub when you boot the pc, go to advanced, then select an older kernel to boot

[22:00] <tekisui> nvidia is not open source, and old cards may not be well suported
[22:05] <DumbLDoor> tried everything on the monitor and pc settings, still the display is only a fraction of the screen at all resolutions.
[22:06] <DumbLDoor> HDMI/PC etc. There is no option to select Aspect ratio.
[22:09] <jhutchins> Fortunately, nvidia provides a list of the cards specifically supported by each version of their drivers.

[22:28] <leftyfb> Jym: what release of ubuntu are you on? (there's no such thing as "v18". There is only 18.04 which is no longer supported)
[22:31] <oerheks> to look at the bugreport;  xdg-open https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/$(sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id)
[22:32] <Jym> leftyfb 22.04, yes 18.04 v18xx
[22:32] <leftyfb> Jym: the dumps are in /var/crash/
[22:33] <leftyfb> that should give you an idea of what the issue is that caused the crash report to come up and more than likely, no GUI today

[22:35] <leftyfb> Metamorphosis: 8GB for swap, the rest for /   that's it
[22:36] <Jym> ubottu ty, This has been occuring since v20xx, v22xx, only v18xx has been stable
[22:36] <leftyfb> though, I'm pretty sure if you just keep all the defaults, Ubuntu will take care of everything just fine
[22:36] <oerheks> ubuntu uses standard one partition with swapfile. conveniant, so you never run out of space in /root
[22:37] <Jym> ...all are LTS
[22:37] <Metamorphosis> thank you guys. I want to install another distro as well. So I prefer to keep a separate home partition.
[22:38] <leftyfb> Metamorphosis: that might not work out the way you think
[22:38] <Metamorphosis> Yeah the last time I installed Ubuntu the latest version was 11.04
[22:39] <leftyfb> Metamorphosis: sharing /home between distros might not work out the way you think. Distro's tend to use different versions of software and desktop environments with different configs
[22:40] <oerheks> create a shared data partition. say 100 gb
[22:40] <leftyfb> war: please turn that off
[22:44] <DumbLDoor> Any other ideas on 23.04 / radeon 6900 underscan with HDMI?
[22:49] <DumbLDoor> is this an HDMI specific problem, will switching to VGA help?
