little_mac how can you setup zram and zswap with out zswap compressing zram at the same time as zram is compressing it should only zswap the file on the drive.  I have sudo apt install zram-config, and zswap in grub from zswap.enabled=1, and 4GB of disk swap in a /swapfile thats it for now.00:51
little_maci actually get wonderful zelda on yuzu gameplay with both zRAM, and normal swap to disk, HOWEVER. I think i can get less stutters from zswap as it would be reading from the disk faster and CPU is fine00:55
little_macbut zswap is not setup correctly rn00:56
rboxsounds like you need more ram00:56
jeremy31little_mac: didn't you ask the same question on Linux Mint IRC?00:56
little_macyes i asked there first, and the problem is the same on a ubuntu install after testing it00:57
topcat001you should use either zswap or zram, not both at the same time00:57
little_macno one replyed00:57
little_mactopcat001: thats only cause zsawp is not playing nicely with zram00:57
topcat001they are not supposed to be used at the same time00:58
little_macif it could just not handle zram and leave it alone it would be great!00:58
topcat001^ I don't understand. Do you not want any disk based swap?00:59
little_macunless the linux kernel doesn't support setting up what zswap files it can and cant work on00:59
leftyfblittle_mac: which kernel are you currently running?00:59
little_macthe default00:59
little_macfrom a ubuntu install00:59
leftyfblittle_mac: uname -a01:00
leftyfblittle_mac: it shouldn't take that long to run it in a terminal and paste the kernel version here01:01

little_macim rn on linuxmint as i typed this01:01
little_macas its my main PC setup01:02
leftyfblittle_mac: ok, let us know when you're on ubuntu to troubleshoot01:02
topcat001I don't know know how much Mint differs from Ubuntu01:02
leftyfbtopcat001: enough that we don't support it here01:02
topcat001indeed01:02

ubottulittle_mac: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official !flavors. Derivatives and other distributions use different software repositories and other software. Please use their dedicated support venues, such as: Linux Mint: #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org, Pop!_OS: https://support.system76.com/ , Kali Linux: #kali-linux on irc.oftc.net, LXLE: https://lxle.net/support-options/01:02
topcat001little_mac: I also think you are slightly confused about how zram and zswap work. In any case, I cannot hurt to read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram01:03
oerhekssimple search zram for ubuntu/derivates https://devicetests.com/using-zram-on-ubuntu01:16
oerheks?01:16
topcat001Also if one is swapping so much that this becomes important (zswap or zram), then perhaps more memory is needed.01:23

crisI've filled out this post: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2483529  February, but there is still nobody looking into the AX88772B problem.  I have two different brands of USB ethernet dongles(AX88772B) that work fine on Windows, but on ubuntu I have to run "/usr/sbin/ethtool -s enx000000000521 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" every time I plug them in.  Also they used to work on Ubuntu 19.02:02
lotuspsychjedo you have a bug ID along with that cris02:03

crisyes, I do run into it on Debian too02:11
leftyfbright, and Mint and Manjaro I'm seeing02:11
crisYup mint too, Haven't tried Manjaro02:11
leftyfbfrom what I'm reading I think the driver hasn't been touched since 2013 so it's probably been removed from the linux kernel02:12

cristhe problem is the Autoneg flag. The driver is working. I just have to run ethtool to turn autoneg off. If it's on, it doesn't connect02:27
crisI tried to run ethtool when the interface comes up, but it didn't work.02:27
crisit runs too early02:28
lotuspsychjetry your bug cris so the volunteers will be able to debug much better on your dmesg and other logs02:31
crisok02:31
crisit was actually not running at all. if-up.d does not run because the connection never goes up until I run ethtool02:32

A_DragonUse subprocess, rather than system() as it allows you to set the arguments directly.10:51
YakovI need to do this way10:52
A_DragonWhy?10:52

v0lZyI want to set-up a static IP for a network interface thats not connected, but if connected would be in the same LAN with same GW as the one thats connected11:03
v0lZyproblem is, when I add it with netmanager, it makes it the default GW11:03
A_Dragonhttps://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html11:03
A_Dragonoh whoops sorry is this C; I was thinking I was in #python11:04
v0lZyanyone able to help with the effing netmanager/netplan/cockpit?12:42
ravagev0lZy: you can try #ubuntu-server or explain your problem in detail12:44
ravagei dont think with the information provided anyone can help12:45
v0lZySo, I have openvswitch + cockpit + networkmanager + netplan12:45
v0lZycockpit is giving me problems, not showing updates. I read online its because it uses networkmanager (which is the only reason I have it), and networkmanager needs at least one managed device12:46
v0lZyWell, it has 2 managed devices, enp3s0 and enp4s0 ... however my actual uplink is via openvswitch12:46
ravagethat really sounds like a server topic12:48
v0lZy(in other words, I have an openvswitch bridge that bridges enp3s012:48
v0lZyok, thanks12:48

josh_i believe so14:02
josh_cause the system sees the iphone and display the pic folder, it even sees it in Clementine but when it comes to syncing or  transferring songs, that doesn't work14:03

FKAShinobiIs there a backports repo?15:57
FKAShinobiA more direct question, how can I see what's in backports to know if I should add it?16:00
rfmFKAShinobi, packages.ubuntu.com has a "browse through the lists" for each repo incl. the -backports.16:05
FKAShinobirfm: I don't see a backports section in the dropdown.16:10
oerhekshttps://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-backports/16:10
rfmFKAShinobi, its not a dropdown, its just the list of repos at the very top16:11
FKAShinobirfm oerheks: Got it! Thanks16:11
oerheksfor LTS it might be a better idea to manually install backport packages.16:12
oerheksnot the whole repo; deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-backports main restricted universe multiverse16:12
FKAShinobioerheks: Agreed. Unfortunately, the package I need is not in there.16:12
ioriaFKAShinobi, what's your package ?16:13
FKAShinobiwhipper 0.10.0.  It's in bullseye and in 23.04, I was hoping it was in the backports.16:14
FKAShinobi0.9.0 has a simple but severe bug where the version reads 0.0.0.16:15
oerheksbuild it from git yourself? https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/16:15
FKAShinobiThat's my only option, I think.16:16
ioriathe snap edge channel has 0.9.1., idk if it makes a difference, but you can try;no sweat16:17
FKAShinobiThe snap is a container and would not affect the one currently installed, nor its dependencies, correct ?16:18
oerheksisolated, yes16:18
oerheksit can run next to the deb version16:18
FKAShinobiWait, what is the snap edge channel? I'm looking in the snap store and it shows, 0.9.1.16:21
oerhekssudo snap install whipper --edge16:22
FKAShinobihow do I explicitly call the snap version?16:25
oerheksif you hoover over the snap version, the 'install' gives the line16:27
oerhekssudo snap install whipper --edge16:27
FKAShinobigot it. How can I determine where the config file for this package be located?16:33
oerheksi think in your ~/snap folder?16:36
oerheksthere are 2 locations, var/lib/snapd/ and in your home16:37
FKAShinobiand can i access the python source?16:46

Siamasterit loads forever then goes into some kind of emergancy mode19:50
