[00:51] 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. [00:55] i 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 fine [00:56] but zswap is not setup correctly rn [00:56] sounds like you need more ram [00:56] little_mac: didn't you ask the same question on Linux Mint IRC? [00:57] yes i asked there first, and the problem is the same on a ubuntu install after testing it [00:57] you should use either zswap or zram, not both at the same time [00:57] no one replyed [00:57] topcat001: thats only cause zsawp is not playing nicely with zram [00:58] they are not supposed to be used at the same time [00:58] if it could just not handle zram and leave it alone it would be great! [00:59] ^ I don't understand. Do you not want any disk based swap? [00:59] unless the linux kernel doesn't support setting up what zswap files it can and cant work on [00:59] little_mac: which kernel are you currently running? [00:59] the default [00:59] from a ubuntu install [01:00] little_mac: uname -a [01:01] little_mac: it shouldn't take that long to run it in a terminal and paste the kernel version here [01:01] okay [01:01] Linux iMac 5.15.0-83-generic #92-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 14 09:30:42 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:01] im rn on linuxmint as i typed this [01:02] as its my main PC setup [01:02] little_mac: ok, let us know when you're on ubuntu to troubleshoot [01:02] I don't know know how much Mint differs from Ubuntu [01:02] topcat001: enough that we don't support it here [01:02] indeed [01:02] !mint | little_mac [01:02] little_mac: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official !flavors.

In any case, I cannot hurt to read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram [01:16] simple search zram for ubuntu/derivates https://devicetests.com/using-zram-on-ubuntu [01:16] ? [01:23] Also if one is swapping so much that this becomes important (zswap or zram), then perhaps more memory is needed. [01:24] Hello, how do I uninstall a program?

[01:26] leftyfb, step 3 -> https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-remove.html.en [01:27] kotgc: sudo apt remove anydesk [01:27] leftyfb, wow, that really actually worked! [01:28] Thx! [02:02] I'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. [02:03] do you have a bug ID along with that cris [02:03] No, I just posted on the forum [02:04] i strongly suggest to file a bug if something doesnt work out of the box on your device cris [02:05] Ok I'll submit one [02:05] cris: ubuntu-bug linux , from your terminal [02:05] cris: then add a bug title + description and submit [02:07] cris: sudo modprobe -r ax88179_178a [02:07] then try to reconnect the cable [02:07] ethernet cable [02:10] leftyfb: tried it, but no difference. [02:10] cris: it seems like this has been an issue on all distro's for a while now. [02:11] yes, I do run into it on Debian too [02:11] right, and Mint and Manjaro I'm seeing [02:11] Yup mint too, Haven't tried Manjaro [02:12] from what I'm reading I think the driver hasn't been touched since 2013 so it's probably been removed from the linux kernel [02:13] cris: modinfo ax88179_178a # what does this give you?

I did that, it did some stuff related to nvidia, and now there's no nvidia stuff showing in the "Additional drivers" dialog. Anyone know what's up? [02:16] AX88179 is also good for AX88772B? [02:16] try the commands in that post [02:16] https://pastebin.com/m6PCpufu [02:17] anyone know what happened there?

The driver is working. I just have to run ethtool to turn autoneg off. If it's on, it doesn't connect [02:27] I tried to run ethtool when the interface comes up, but it didn't work. [02:28] it runs too early [02:31] try your bug cris so the volunteers will be able to debug much better on your dmesg and other logs [02:31] ok [02:32] it was actually not running at all. if-up.d does not run because the connection never goes up until I run ethtool [02:32] I need something that runs on USB plugged in kind of..

[10:52] I need to do this way [10:52] Why? [10:55] Yakov: what specifically does `system` do for you that `subprocess` cannot, other than being more painful to work with [11:02] hi [11:02] having some issue with multi NIC config netplan cockpit and networkmanager [11:03] A_dragon, please give definition/link what is subprocess [11:03] I 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 connected [11:03] problem is, when I add it with netmanager, it makes it the default GW [11:03] https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html [11:04] oh whoops sorry is this C; I was thinking I was in #python [12:42] anyone able to help with the effing netmanager/netplan/cockpit?

I read online its because it uses networkmanager (which is the only reason I have it), and networkmanager needs at least one managed device [12:46] Well, it has 2 managed devices, enp3s0 and enp4s0 ... however my actual uplink is via openvswitch [12:48] that really sounds like a server topic [12:48] (in other words, I have an openvswitch bridge that bridges enp3s0 [12:48] ok, thanks [13:12] Hi all [13:32] hi BluesKaj [13:32] Hello.

[13:53] josh_: did you log the journal logs as requested earlier? [13:53] what was that? [13:54] josh_: journalctl -f from your terminal, then plug in your iphone and !paste it to the channel so volunteers can take a look [13:59] josh_: was libimobiledevice-utils installed? [14:02] i believe so [14:03] 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 work [14:12] the command is taking such a long time to display the output from the terminal, any other workaround when it comes to iphone and ubuntu? [14:23] It seems that I am not getting any assistance [14:26] josh_: You can also get support at askubuntu.com ubuntuforums.org or even https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu [14:40] what books about linux do you recommend? for a beginner linux user.

[15:57] Is there a backports repo? [16:00] A more direct question, how can I see what's in backports to know if I should add it? [16:05] FKAShinobi, packages.ubuntu.com has a "browse through the lists" for each repo incl. the -backports. [16:10] rfm: I don't see a backports section in the dropdown. [16:10] https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-backports/ [16:11] FKAShinobi, its not a dropdown, its just the list of repos at the very top [16:11] rfm oerheks: Got it! Thanks [16:12] for LTS it might be a better idea to manually install backport packages. [16:12] not the whole repo; deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-backports main restricted universe multiverse [16:12] oerheks: Agreed. Unfortunately, the package I need is not in there. [16:13] FKAShinobi, what's your package ? [16:14] whipper 0.10.0. It's in bullseye and in 23.04, I was hoping it was in the backports. [16:15] 0.9.0 has a simple but severe bug where the version reads 0.0.0. [16:15] build it from git yourself? https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/ [16:16] That's my only option, I think. [16:17] the snap edge channel has 0.9.1., idk if it makes a difference, but you can try;no sweat [16:18] The snap is a container and would not affect the one currently installed, nor its dependencies, correct ? [16:18] isolated, yes [16:18] it can run next to the deb version [16:21] Wait, what is the snap edge channel? I'm looking in the snap store and it shows, 0.9.1. [16:22] sudo snap install whipper --edge [16:25] how do I explicitly call the snap version? [16:27] if you hoover over the snap version, the 'install' gives the line [16:27] sudo snap install whipper --edge [16:33] got it. How can I determine where the config file for this package be located? [16:36] i think in your ~/snap folder? [16:37] there are 2 locations, var/lib/snapd/ and in your home [16:46] and can i access the python source? [16:47] FKAShinobi: apt source python3 [16:50] FKAShinobi: You might have to go into Software & Updates/Developer options to enable source code repositories === alkisg_irc is now known as alkisg [16:54] leftyfb jeremy31: Where are the executables placed? [16:54] FKAShinobi: for what? [16:54] leftfb: the version of whipper from the snap edge channel [16:54] 0.9.1 [16:55] FKAShinobi: run: type -a whipper [16:55] I have installed it and can run it. I can access the config file. But may need to patch one of the py files [16:55] that will tell you the executables for that binary [16:55] type -a whipper [16:55] lol [16:55] not sure I get the joke [16:56] I just typed it in the wrong window like a moron [16:57] FKAShinobi: Just dont use /exec -o in hexchat with a command like that [16:58] Understood === alkisg_irc is now known as alkisg === carlo is now known as Guest6808 [19:50] After installing Windows on my m.2 drive, I'm unable to boot into ubuntu on a different drive [19:50] it loads forever then goes into some kind of emergancy mode [19:51] I think It's because I had tried something with refind and had created some kind of partition before I installed ubuntu [19:51] The computer first came with Windows on the only m.2 drive it had, then I installed my own ssd and installed ubuntu [19:52] but now, not only am I not able to log into my ubuntu, I can't even boot from my USB anymore [19:52] it loads forever [19:54] Siamaster, I would try to boot with a ubuntu live cd (on a usb stick) and fix it from there [19:54] Siamaster1, that sounds painful :( but you're not giving us much information. Perhaps you can take photos of the emergency mode, tell us about what you did, etc.? [19:54] or that [19:54] Let me try again, let me wait longer with the ubuntu usb. [20:04] well it booted into the usb this time. I tried my installation but the same problem persisted. I think it's easier to just reinstall so I'm doing that now. All files were already backed up [20:16] Hi guys,I am still having issues with my iphone and ubuntu 22.02 when it comes to transferring music...Can anyone help?

[21:43] hello [21:43] how are you === alkisg_irc is now known as alkisg [22:09] hmm, it appears to be on the right drive when I look in the application "Disks" But when booting from BIOS it appears to be on the wrong drive, judging from the Total size displayed [22:19] Siamaster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:20] but it seems to be on the right drive. from ubuntu [22:21] but not in BIOS, But I think I've experienced this before where after a while it learns it's location [22:21] and it boots fine and fast now so I'm happy. I was just worried that if some day I want to format my m.2 drive it would make this installation unusable [22:28] Siamaster: Have you run lsblk in terminal? See if that matches what you see in Disks [22:30] Does some Ubuntu liveUSB version have built-in memtest86+? [22:32] bitbinge: Yes but I believe it's only in Legacy BIOS mode.

It's clear now it's on the wrong drive [22:43] Can I use Boot-Repair to move it or does it only repair? [22:44] because I have no problem other than it would be a problem to format that drive now [22:53] Maybe it's faster this way anyway :P [22:53] if all the boot partitions are on the m.2 drive [22:53] possible? [22:58] Siamaster: yes it can be moved and boot repair can do it but you need to tell it where you want it [23:31] Hello guys! [23:32] wondering if someone can help with restoring all the settings after reinstalling Ubuntu 22.04? [23:46] toddc, Thanks! Seems great! I'm going to make a live version of it and fix this
