[02:00] <aiena> I am using virt-viewer to view a vm screen while watching a video in the vm I notice https://bpa.st/RXDA error and the viewer crashes not the VM itself the vm remains running smoothly. How do I troubleshoot this issue I am using ubuntu 22.04.3 with the latest updates on a corei513500 with integrated graphics.
[02:01] <aiena> *core i5 13500
[02:02] <aiena> I haven't experienced instability on the host or in other apps
[02:04] <aiena> It looks like it may be wayland related https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/124 looks like another app with same output
[02:04] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 124 in GNOME/gtk "Stalled wayland connection causes exit, contrary to Client API documentation" [Opened]
[02:04] <aiena> but I can't make out if wayland really is the cause
[02:12] <aiena> has anyone else experienced this and has a possible solution
[02:17] <basenjis> Not yet, Have you changed to xorg? 'Logout click the password, look to the right for the gear icon; click icon and select ubuntu on xorg then enter password and login.
[02:18] <basenjis> Now your on x11 or xorg on ubuntu
[02:18] <basenjis> does the same happen?
[02:20] <basenjis> Some snaps and apps only work with 'X' others work with both "X" and Wayland.
[02:27] <aiena> basenjis, on stackexchange I found `env GDK_BACKEND=x11 virt-viewer` I ran virtviewer this way and it was pretty stable. I just watcha yt video for long to test. Just rerunning without it to test
[02:27] <aiena> basenjis, to my knowledge all my virt stuff is installed via apt and not snap
[02:29] <aiena> so it seems like maybe that command is working to make the viewer run with x11
[02:31] <basenjis> Agreed with @aiena
[02:31] <aiena> I've just echoed that line to a bash script as a workaround
[02:31] <basenjis> It is installed as a package not a snap
[02:31] <aiena> yes
[02:32] <aiena> I am neutral to snaps dont love or hate them
[02:32] <aiena> the only snap I am aware of which i use regularly is firefox's snap
[02:32] <aiena> the rest is apt or compiled from source
[02:32] <aiena> or appimages wherever possible
[02:33] <basenjis> True, same here
[02:33] <aiena> basenjis, I diont know the env command so well
[02:34] <aiena> does that env var persist shell wide or only for that command?
[02:34] <Your_Dog> im ok with mixing snaps and flatpaks
[02:35] <aiena> I have a flatpaks but it gets messy
[02:35] <aiena> a few
[02:35] <basenjis> I have the virt package associated with virtual box will not run with out x11 .. not wayland on virtual box.

[04:28] <ubottu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[04:29] <Unit193> It's basically a forked version of isc's cron.
[04:29] <oerheks> systemctl list-timers # gives a list of jobs

[07:30] <ApostleInTriumph> Hello, I'm having troubles with Ubuntu 22.04 and fractional scaling on my second monitor. The fonts are too small and I want to enlarge to 125%. It instead gets to 200% all windows exceeding the monitor dimension. Does anyone else face this?
[07:32] <ice9> after I updated Airpods Pro firmware, now it's unable to pair with Linux, what do you think?
[07:40] <weedmic> ApostleInTriumph: do you want different font sizes on different monitors?  or do you just want a problematic monitor to comply and be the same as the others?
[08:37] <zofrex> I'm trying to write my own `user-data` autoinstall script for Ubuntu Server 23.04
[08:38] <zofrex> I have a basic version of it working, so I know the user-data file is being picked up correctly etc. But as I'm adding new things to it, it's breaking. And when it breaks I don't get an error message, instead the installer switches to the user interactive mode
[08:38] <zofrex> my primary question here is: how do you test and debug scripts for the autoinstall process?
=== TomTom_ is now known as TomTom
[08:59] <zofrex> I found log files in /var/log/installer, I can't find any relevant error in them but maybe someone more familiar with them could?

=== zer0bitz_ is now known as zer0bitz
[09:01] <zofrex> to recap: the "user-data-broken" file does not work when supplied as a user-data file for the autoinstall process. What I want is a fully unattended automatic install. What happens is it bails to the installer UI, on the first welcome page where you pick a locale.

[10:51] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: e1000e is prob intel

[10:52] <nate> Is lifetime: 0 not supposed to be the way to functionally tell the system to not use an IP outbound?
[10:52] <AndreasE> sent you the entire output in priv message
[10:52] <lotuspsychje> lets keep it here in the channel AndreasE
[10:53] <nate> I cannot for the life of me seem to get the IPv6 address I want to default as the outbound address, it just keeps using what was originally the SLAAC (which is now statically defined as well)
[10:54] <AndreasEubuntu> lotuspsychje Certainly, here is the full output https://dpaste.com/79M6URLJ3
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: looks loaded, driver=bcma-pci-bridge latency=0 but still pastebin your full dmesg please for a deeper look
[10:55] <AndreasE> lotuspsychje which dmesg command?
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> !dmesg
[10:55] <ubottu> dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in  Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console.
[10:56] <lotuspsychje> so just dmesg in your terminal AndreasE
[10:57] <AndreasEubuntu> lotuspsychje https://dpaste.com/9RHMAVBH4
[10:59] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[10:59] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: tnx, not sure whats going on yet, bcma-pci-bridge 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0100 -> 0102)
[11:01] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: ok lets try something else; type a journalctl -f in your terminal, then switch your broadcom driver to disabled in additional drivers and back on please
[11:01] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: then pastebin the output journal gives you
[11:01] <nate> Does anyone have a general example of a netplan config with multiple IPv6 addresses and one forced to be the outbound address?  I have found quite a few supposed ones searching around but none of them work
[11:02] <lotuspsychje> !netplan | nate
[11:02] <ubottu> nate: Netplan is a network configuration abstraction renderer which uses YAML descriptions of a network to work with either a NetworkManager or Systemd-networkd "renderer". More information at https://netplan.io/
[11:03] <lotuspsychje> nate: see also the #ubuntu-server experts (if thats your case) for some deeper netplan/yaml support
[11:03] <nate> I'll go there then cause the netplan website has largely been useless for this lol
[11:09] <AndreasEubuntu> lotuspsychje https://dpaste.com/985SKGKJV
[11:14] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: looks like it install properly, not sure whats going on
[11:14] <lotuspsychje> maybe other volunteers have ideas ^
[11:14] <AndreasEubuntu> lotuspsychje it is not something as dumb as I need to input a keyboard shortcut to enable the card?
[11:15] <AndreasEubuntu> so drivers are working as intended but card is disabled somehow?
[11:16] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: can you try booting a previous kernel too, maybe its 6.2 related
[11:16] <AndreasEubuntu> lotuspsychje Yeah I guess I could try, not much of an linux expert but will do a quick google search
[11:17] <lotuspsychje> AndreasEubuntu: just hold shift before boot to enter grub, then choose a previous kernel
[11:18] <AndreasEubuntu> Ok will give it a try and then come back here
[11:20] <AndreasE> Not sure if because I am using a bluetooth wireless keyboard but it is just proceeding to the login and not displaying the grub menu lotuspsychje
[11:22] <lotuspsychje> try ESC AndreasE
[11:27] <AndreasE> lotuspsychje got it with ESC, try kernel 6.2.0.20 or 6.2.0.26?
[11:29] <AndreasE> Looks like i am running .26 so I will try .20

[13:04] <leftyfb> haroon: sudo apt install vim
[13:05] <haroon> I have vim installed :D
[13:05] <leftyfb> cawx: remove the repo or contact opensusee for support

[13:09] <leftyfb> haroon: why do you have a PPA for vim?
[13:09] <leftyfb> haroon: the vim you have installed isn't from ubuntu
[13:10] <leftyfb> haroon: remove the ppa, purge vim and reinstall vim
[13:13] <haroon> oke will do, but i dont know why there is a ppa for it i just installed it using apt

[13:56] <Blohsh> i tried running the .appimage i download but it doesn't run so i tried running in terminal and getting this errors
[13:58] <ogra> you have to ask the appimage maintainer then ... we can not support appimages here
[13:58] <ogra> (it was clearly compiled against a different libc)
[13:58] <Blohsh> Help needed for upgrading
[13:59] <nteodosio> For upgrading what?
[13:59] <Blohsh> libc
[13:59] <nteodosio> Well you would need to upgrade to Jammy then.
[14:00] <Blohsh> ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.9) 2.31
[14:00] <Blohsh> have this currently
[14:00] <nteodosio> But that is not the real problem, it's the Appimage.
[14:00] <ogra> yeah, a libc version is always hard-tied to the ubuntu release
[14:02] <Blohsh> i was thinking something like building glibc in home folder, then using path of libc to run app image so it will use the version required
[14:04] <ravage> That's a path you really don't want to take
[14:04] <ogra> ge the appimage fixed, it is broken ... (not sure it should even use your libc from the machine at all)

[16:02] <iconoclasthero> is there some way to get the desktop to find the hostnames of the laptops?

[16:06] <iconoclasthero> how can i tell what DNS server each machine is using?
[16:07] <leftyfb> iconoclasthero: in the case of your 2 set to DHCP, that setting will be on your router

[16:08] <iconoclasthero> 22.04 on the compaq and inspiron 22.10 on latitude
[16:09] <pragmaticenigma> iconoclasthero: that would mean your Internet gateway (Router or ISP Modem) is providing you with a cached DNS resolver. You would have to look up the configuration on that device to see what it is configured to use.

[16:10] <pragmaticenigma> iconoclasthero: to see what your home network is configured to use for DNS, you can try using something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ to identify what servers it believes are responding to your requests. However, it is not a 100% guarantee.
[16:10] <iconoclasthero> anyway, resolvectl status on which machine?
[16:11] <leftyfb> pragmaticenigma: that won't tell you what local resolver a client is using
[16:11] <leftyfb> iconoclasthero: all of them
[16:12] <pragmaticenigma> leftyfb: that isn't how I read their question. it felt like they are trying to find out what DNS provider they are using.
[16:12] <leftyfb> pragmaticenigma: they are having issues resolving local machines
[16:12] <leftyfb> public DNS doesn't come into play here
[16:13] <pragmaticenigma> i see, i guess i missed a part of their question
[16:13] <leftyfb> iconoclasthero: if you're using static on the "compaq", then you might not be using systemd-resolved. Check your network config and/or /etc/resolv.conf
[16:13] <iconoclasthero> https://pastebin.com/DMEsQCk5
[16:14] <leftyfb> the compaq is using what looks like an ipv6 nameserver
[16:14] <ruser> is there a utility that can wrap a script or a binary to limit number of outgoing http(s) request?
[16:14] <leftyfb> iconoclasthero: fix your network config on the compaq
[16:15] <iconoclasthero> ok, I can look this up, but what should i be looking for?  assigning a static IPv4 dns (192.168.1.1) to compaq?
[16:15] <leftyfb> ruser: https://superuser.com/questions/294609/how-to-throttle-http-requests-on-a-linux-machine   first result on google for "ubuntu limit http requests"
[16:16] <leftyfb> iconoclasthero: correct
[16:16] <iconoclasthero> thanks
[16:16] <iconoclasthero> and i assume there's no reason i can't do this from the command line?
[16:16] <iconoclasthero> the box is headless right now
[16:16] <leftyfb> iconoclasthero: correct
[16:16] <iconoclasthero> thanks again.
[16:16] <ruser> leftyfb: no accepted answer, lists ssh as circumvent conneciton limits, and config options for browsers.
[16:17] <leftyfb> ruser: keep reading
[16:17] <ruser> leftyfb:  are you hinting at iptables?
[16:17] <leftyfb> ruser: and 2 other tools mentioned
[16:18] <ruser> leftyfb:  i don't know if the answer exits, i dont' want to drop actual packet, but queue requests.   tc and trickle?
[16:19] <leftyfb> ruser: those are the 2 mentioned other than iptables
[16:25] <iconoclasthero> leftyfb, i got it to work with a line in /etc/resolv.conf so i just need to add that perminantly
[16:25] <iconoclasthero> thanks again
[16:30] <ruser> leftyfb:  unless i'm reading wrong trickle seems to either limit  up/down speed, and prioritize certain traffic over other traffic.  tc might be a closer match, i guess i need to read this a little more careful, the bucket tocken algo strikes a chord with me.    thought it still seems not quite what i'm after. At any rate, thank you.  I was clearly using wrong search words/search engine
[16:33] <ruser> looks like it's just easier for me to implement my own in the script.  thanks
[16:39] <webchat84> Hi
[16:45] <NetEcho> Hey folks I'm having a strange issue and am unsure of how to troubleshoot it. I have a 1.5 gigabit connection in which I am able to max out my 1gb card on this PC no problem but for some reason my ubuntu server is only getting 90mbit and all I did was move the server from my old house to my new house
[16:48] <gordonjcp> NetEcho: that's probably more down to connectivity than anything else
[16:48] <NetEcho> bad patch cable maybe?
[16:48] <gordonjcp> probably more between you and your server
[16:48] <gordonjcp> like, how are you testing this
[16:49] <NetEcho> speedtest-cli
[16:49] <NetEcho> and my usenet downloads are crawling
[16:49] <NetEcho> I run speedtest-cli on this system and get 970ish mbit down 50 up and the server is only getting 90 down 50 up
[16:53] <NetEcho> the only changes since the move are a new faster modem and I bought a new short Cat6A cord for the server since the cord I have is 50' long but the server is right next to the modem now
[16:54] <NetEcho> oh strange a reboot seems to have fixed it

[20:50] <yates_work> is there a way to install libdrm-intel with a version later than my current ubuntu version into a container?
[20:50] <yates_work> i need libdrm-intel >= 2.4.110
[20:50] <leftyfb> !latest | yates_work
[20:50] <ubottu> yates_work: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.
[20:52] <leftyfb> yates_work: ubuntu 22.04 has the version you're looking for
[20:52] <yates_work> leftyfb: if i install in a container it shouldn't impact my current system
[20:52] <yates_work> ok thanks
[20:52] <leftyfb> yates_work: correct
[20:53] <yates_work> i am inexperienced with containers - what could i use to do that?
[20:53] <yates_work> i'm using nix for other dependencies, but it doesn't have the libdrm-intel package
[20:54] <leftyfb> yates_work: mind you, installing it in a container will not allow packages on your host to interact/utilize the library
[20:55] <yates_work> i guess i am wishing and hoping that is not an issue since my task is building mesa, not actually running anything
[20:56] <yates_work> the mesa build may just need the headers/libraries to link to

[20:57] <yates_work> yeah, this is an unproductive suggestion in my case.

[20:58] <yates_work> they have all sorts of crap (e.g., jumpcloud) installed on our systems

[23:03] <loswedseded> I deleted a file I need back. I moved it to the trash and then deleted it from the trash. Can I recover it?
[23:04] <sarnold> maybe; a lot of people report success with photorec
[23:05] <loswedseded> does photorec only work with pictures?
[23:05] <loswedseded> sudo apt install testdisk?
[23:06] <sarnold> photorec works with way more than pictures; the risk of course is installing it on the same disk where you're trying to recover something might just overwrite the data you're trying to find
[23:06] <sarnold> you could use another computer and attach the disk using a dongle of some sort, or you could use a live instance like grml
[23:07] <loswedseded> I have no other options: my main drive is not partitioned and I don't have a different OS I can use
[23:07] <ravage> boot a live system like https://grml.org/ . install photorec there and recover the file
[23:07] <ravage> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/photorec-recover-deleted-files-in-linux-ubuntu or any other tutorial about it should do
[23:08] <sarnold> ravage: awesome
[23:08] <ravage> loswedseded: but you should even do that download on another device. saving the iso could destroy the file you want to recover
[23:11] <loswedseded> ravage, does it still work if I download it to a different SSD I use just to store data? I access this ssd from my main drive, where I installed ubuntu
[23:11] <ravage> that should be fine
[23:11] <ravage> just avoid any write to the drive you want to recover data from
[23:12] <loswedseded> thank you
[23:12] <loswedseded> sarnold, ravage ^
[23:12] <ravage> good luck :)
[23:13] <sarnold> :)
[23:14] <loswedseded> I dont need the full iso, do I?
[23:14] <ravage> the small one should do
[23:15] <loswedseded> incidentally, how do I nuke a system? I mean wipe completely all data
[23:16] <ravage> the tool "shred" is an option if you need to overwrite the data
[23:16] <ravage> if you just want to clean the partitions there is wipefs
[23:17] <sarnold> dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/whatreverblockdevice can do the trick; if you have to do it all the time, there's a dban disk image -- "derek's boot and nuke" I think? -- that'll do something similar immediately after booting
[23:17] <ravage> if you are on a SSD there is also the option to just change the internal encryption key. that makes everything unreadable
[23:18] <loswedseded> ravage, true
[23:18] <ravage> something like https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Perform_a_SSD_Secure_Erase
[23:19] <ravage> maybe there are better tools these days
[23:19] <loswedseded> sarnold, the command you wrote, will it wipe the whole partition? what does it do exactly? overwrite several times?
[23:19] <sarnold> loswedseded: it'll wipe a partition or disk, depending upon what block device file you give it
[23:19] <sarnold> loswedseded: it'll overwrite it once with random junk
[23:20] <sarnold> loswedseded: (don't use /dev/zero, a lot of devices will optimize away zeros and won't actually overwrite anything)
[23:20] <loswedseded> sarnold, how long will it take to wipe a 1tb ssd?
[23:20] <ravage> for an ssd really just to the secure erase
[23:20] <ravage> https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_state_drive/Memory_cell_clearing also has some options for nvmes
[23:21] <elias_a> loswedseded: I've been using this for decades: https://dban.org/
[23:22] <sarnold> loswedseded: it'll depend on both the speed of your CPU and your SSD; my laptop appears to generate around 120 MB/s of random (which is honestly six times faster than I expected) -- so, one gigabyte per ten seconds, so twenty minutes-ish?
[23:23] <sarnold> loswedseded: ravage's links on secure erase tricks are pretty good if your disk supports them. a lot of drives won't actually clear themselves though :( -- if it were me, I'd do the dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/whatever  before issuing these commands (which I realize misses the point of these commands, but I don't trust the drive makers)
[23:23] <willyg_cos> If you CAN just change the encryption key, it's a lot faster and doesn't count against the write cycles of the SSD as much
[23:23] <elias_a> Although this is offtopic 1TB disk takes at least hours to be wiped well - be it SSD or in the case of HDD it takes longer.
[23:24] <loswedseded> true that
[23:24] <loswedseded> encription keys
[23:24] <elias_a> Forensic methods are quite good nowadays. But this is a risk dependent question.
[23:26] <elias_a> If you are about to sell a HDD I'd say minimum 4 passes of writing random data is desirable if the disk contains sensible data.
[23:27] <ravage> my approach is to start with a luks encrypted hdd :)
[23:27] <loswedseded> good one, you buy a ssd, you luks it
[23:27] <elias_a> On the other hand, if you keep the disk yourself - why bother? If someone can low level access your disk you have lost the game already.
[23:31] <jeremy31> This might belong more in #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:32] <Eickmeyer> #ubuntu-offtopic because it's not necessarily Ubuntu.
