[00:51] <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.
[00:55] <little_mac> 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] <little_mac> but zswap is not setup correctly rn
[00:56] <rbox> sounds like you need more ram
[00:56] <jeremy31> little_mac: didn't you ask the same question on Linux Mint IRC?
[00:57] <little_mac> yes i asked there first, and the problem is the same on a ubuntu install after testing it
[00:57] <topcat001> you should use either zswap or zram, not both at the same time
[00:57] <little_mac> no one replyed
[00:57] <little_mac> topcat001: thats only cause zsawp is not playing nicely with zram
[00:58] <topcat001> they are not supposed to be used at the same time
[00:58] <little_mac> if it could just not handle zram and leave it alone it would be great!
[00:59] <topcat001> ^ I don't understand. Do you not want any disk based swap?
[00:59] <little_mac> unless the linux kernel doesn't support setting up what zswap files it can and cant work on
[00:59] <leftyfb> little_mac: which kernel are you currently running?
[00:59] <little_mac> the default
[00:59] <little_mac> from a ubuntu install
[01:00] <leftyfb> little_mac: uname -a
[01:01] <leftyfb> little_mac: it shouldn't take that long to run it in a terminal and paste the kernel version here
[01:01] <little_mac> okay
[01:01] <little_mac> 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] <little_mac> im rn on linuxmint as i typed this
[01:02] <little_mac> as its my main PC setup
[01:02] <leftyfb> little_mac: ok, let us know when you're on ubuntu to troubleshoot
[01:02] <topcat001> I don't know know how much Mint differs from Ubuntu
[01:02] <leftyfb> topcat001: enough that we don't support it here
[01:02] <topcat001> indeed
[01:02] <leftyfb> !mint | little_mac
[01:03] <topcat001> little_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/Zram
[01:16] <oerheks> simple search zram for ubuntu/derivates https://devicetests.com/using-zram-on-ubuntu
[01:16] <oerheks> ?
[01:23] <topcat001> Also if one is swapping so much that this becomes important (zswap or zram), then perhaps more memory is needed.
[01:24] <kotgc> Hello, how do I uninstall a program?
[01:25] <kotgc> This doesn't work https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-remove.html.en
[01:25] <kotgc> I search for Installed app and 'AnyDesk' isn't ound.
[01:25] <kotgc> I right click on the icon and there's no option to uninstall?
[01:26] <leftyfb> kotgc: where did you search for anydesk?
[01:26] <kotgc> leftyfb, step 3 -> https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-remove.html.en
[01:27] <leftyfb> kotgc: sudo apt remove anydesk
[01:27] <kotgc> leftyfb, wow, that really actually worked!
[01:28] <kotgc> Thx!
[02:02] <cris> 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] <lotuspsychje> do you have a bug ID along with that cris
[02:03] <cris> No, I just posted on the forum
[02:04] <lotuspsychje> i strongly suggest to file a bug if something doesnt work out of the box on your device cris
[02:05] <cris> Ok I'll submit one
[02:05] <lotuspsychje> cris: ubuntu-bug linux , from your terminal
[02:05] <lotuspsychje> cris: then add a bug title + description and submit
[02:07] <leftyfb> cris: sudo modprobe -r ax88179_178a
[02:07] <leftyfb> then try to reconnect the cable
[02:07] <leftyfb> ethernet cable
[02:10] <cris> leftyfb: tried it, but no difference.
[02:10] <leftyfb> cris: it seems like this has been an issue on all distro's for a while now.
[02:11] <cris> yes, I do run into it on Debian too
[02:11] <leftyfb> right, and Mint and Manjaro I'm seeing
[02:11] <cris> Yup mint too, Haven't tried Manjaro
[02:12] <leftyfb> 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] <leftyfb> cris: modinfo ax88179_178a  # what does this give you?
[02:14] <cris> filename:       /lib/modules/6.2.0-32-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.ko
[02:14] <leftyfb> cris: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/706977/how-to-fix-an-apparenlty-missing-kernel-module-dependency-declaration   try this
[02:14] <cris> description:    ASIX AX88179/178A based USB 3.0/2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Devices
[02:15] <leftyfb> run those commands with sudo
[02:15] <lenswipe> Something odd just happened - I opened a terminal, tried to use apt and it told me I had to run dpkg ----configure -a. 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] <cris> AX88179 is also good for AX88772B?
[02:16] <leftyfb> try the commands in that post
[02:16] <lenswipe> https://pastebin.com/m6PCpufu
[02:17] <lenswipe> anyone know what happened there?
[02:19] <lenswipe> now my terminal is saying manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
[02:22] <cris> Neither worked.  install: target 'cdc_mbim': No such file or directory  , and I softdep: command not found
[02:23] <cris> Tried: "install ax88179_178a /sbin/modprobe cdc_mbim; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ax88179_178a" as root
[02:27] <cris> the 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 connect
[02:27] <cris> I tried to run ethtool when the interface comes up, but it didn't work.
[02:28] <cris> it runs too early
[02:31] <lotuspsychje> try your bug cris so the volunteers will be able to debug much better on your dmesg and other logs
[02:31] <cris> ok
[02:32] <cris> 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] <cris> I need something that runs on USB plugged in kind of..
[02:40] <fichero> friends I have a microsoft keyboard and it has my doc pic and music buttons plus others that work such as volume and mute and calculator but

[04:06] <josh_> Yeah, of course...any idea? I tried mounting it and it did work but the files didn't show on my iphone afterwards
[04:07] <xangua> did you try kdeconnect? josh_
[04:07] <lotuspsychje> try clementine josh_

[04:08] <josh_> What worked for you? Even clementine didnt work, it sees  the phone but o  songs

[10:45] <Yakov> how to insert corretly [1]  ~/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator /home/supernova/Desktop/GUI/CMakeLists.txt &     to [2] system("gnome-terminal -e \"bash -c 'sensors; bash;'\"")
[10:47] <A_Dragon> use subprocess rather than system() and have it pass the right args
[10:50] <Yakov> I call it with my c++ app using system :)
[10:50] <Yakov> I basically calling my another child app with parent App
[10:51] <A_Dragon> Use subprocess, rather than system() as it allows you to set the arguments directly.
[10:52] <Yakov> I need to do this way
[10:52] <A_Dragon> Why?
[10:55] <A_Dragon> Yakov: what specifically does `system` do for you that `subprocess` cannot, other than being more painful to work with
[11:02] <v0lZy> hi
[11:02] <v0lZy> having some issue with multi NIC config netplan cockpit and networkmanager
[11:03] <Yakov> A_dragon, please give definition/link what is subprocess
[11:03] <v0lZy> 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] <v0lZy> problem is, when I add it with netmanager, it makes it the default GW
[11:03] <A_Dragon> https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html
[11:04] <A_Dragon> oh whoops sorry is this C; I was thinking I was in #python
[12:42] <v0lZy> anyone able to help with the effing netmanager/netplan/cockpit?
[12:44] <ravage> v0lZy: you can try #ubuntu-server or explain your problem in detail
[12:45] <ravage> i dont think with the information provided anyone can help
[12:45] <v0lZy> So, I have openvswitch + cockpit + networkmanager + netplan
[12:46] <v0lZy> cockpit 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 device
[12:46] <v0lZy> Well, it has 2 managed devices, enp3s0 and enp4s0 ... however my actual uplink is via openvswitch
[12:48] <ravage> that really sounds like a server topic
[12:48] <v0lZy> (in other words, I have an openvswitch bridge that bridges enp3s0
[12:48] <v0lZy> ok, thanks
[13:12] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:32] <matsaman> hi BluesKaj
[13:32] <lubuntu> Hello.
[13:40] <BluesKaj> hi matsaman
[13:52] <josh_> good morning guys...hope you are well, i have an issue with my rhytmbox on unbuntu 22.02 it doesn't see my iphone; any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
[13:53] <lotuspsychje> josh_: did you log the journal logs as requested earlier?
[13:53] <josh_> what was that?
[13:54] <lotuspsychje> 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] <jeremy31> josh_: was libimobiledevice-utils installed?
[14:02] <josh_> i believe so
[14:03] <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 work
[14:12] <josh_> 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] <josh_> It seems that I am not getting any assistance
[14:26] <jeremy31> josh_: You can also get support at askubuntu.com ubuntuforums.org or even https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[14:40] <tripstah> what books about linux do you recommend? for a beginner linux user.
[14:41] <ravage> !discuss | tripstah
[14:42] <tripstah> you could put information about a good guidebook to the topic!
[14:43] <ravage> or some nice recipes. or we stick to the channel topic which is Ubuntu support.
[15:57] <FKAShinobi> Is there a backports repo?
[16:00] <FKAShinobi> A more direct question, how can I see what's in backports to know if I should add it?
[16:05] <rfm> FKAShinobi, packages.ubuntu.com has a "browse through the lists" for each repo incl. the -backports.
[16:10] <FKAShinobi> rfm: I don't see a backports section in the dropdown.
[16:10] <oerheks> https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-backports/
[16:11] <rfm> FKAShinobi, its not a dropdown, its just the list of repos at the very top
[16:11] <FKAShinobi> rfm oerheks: Got it! Thanks
[16:12] <oerheks> for LTS it might be a better idea to manually install backport packages.
[16:12] <oerheks> not the whole repo; deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[16:12] <FKAShinobi> oerheks: Agreed. Unfortunately, the package I need is not in there.
[16:13] <ioria> FKAShinobi, what's your package ?
[16:14] <FKAShinobi> whipper 0.10.0.  It's in bullseye and in 23.04, I was hoping it was in the backports.
[16:15] <FKAShinobi> 0.9.0 has a simple but severe bug where the version reads 0.0.0.
[16:15] <oerheks> build it from git yourself? https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/
[16:16] <FKAShinobi> That's my only option, I think.
[16:17] <ioria> the snap edge channel has 0.9.1., idk if it makes a difference, but you can try;no sweat
[16:18] <FKAShinobi> The snap is a container and would not affect the one currently installed, nor its dependencies, correct ?
[16:18] <oerheks> isolated, yes
[16:18] <oerheks> it can run next to the deb version
[16:21] <FKAShinobi> Wait, what is the snap edge channel? I'm looking in the snap store and it shows, 0.9.1.
[16:22] <oerheks> sudo snap install whipper --edge
[16:25] <FKAShinobi> how do I explicitly call the snap version?
[16:27] <oerheks> if you hoover over the snap version, the 'install' gives the line
[16:27] <oerheks> sudo snap install whipper --edge
[16:33] <FKAShinobi> got it. How can I determine where the config file for this package be located?
[16:36] <oerheks> i think in your ~/snap folder?
[16:37] <oerheks> there are 2 locations, var/lib/snapd/ and in your home
[16:46] <FKAShinobi> and can i access the python source?
[16:47] <leftyfb> FKAShinobi: apt source python3
[16:50] <jeremy31> FKAShinobi: You might have to go into Software & Updates/Developer options to enable source code repositories
[16:54] <FKAShinobi> leftyfb jeremy31: Where are the executables placed?
[16:54] <leftyfb> FKAShinobi: for what?
[16:54] <FKAShinobi> leftfb: the version of whipper from the snap edge channel
[16:54] <FKAShinobi> 0.9.1
[16:55] <leftyfb> FKAShinobi: run:   type -a whipper
[16:55] <FKAShinobi> 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] <leftyfb> that will tell you the executables for that binary
[16:55] <FKAShinobi> type -a whipper
[16:55] <FKAShinobi> lol
[16:55] <leftyfb> not sure I get the joke
[16:56] <FKAShinobi> I just typed it in the wrong window like a moron
[16:57] <jeremy31> FKAShinobi: Just dont use /exec -o in hexchat with a command like that
[16:58] <FKAShinobi> Understood
[19:50] <Siamaster> After installing Windows on my m.2 drive, I'm unable to boot into ubuntu on a different drive
[19:50] <Siamaster> it loads forever then goes into some kind of emergancy mode
[19:51] <Siamaster> I think It's because I had tried something with refind and had created some kind of partition before I installed ubuntu
[19:51] <Siamaster> 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] <Siamaster> but now, not only am I not able to log into my ubuntu, I can't even boot from my USB anymore
[19:52] <Siamaster> it loads forever
[19:54] <syphyr> Siamaster, I would try to boot with a ubuntu live cd (on a usb stick) and fix it from there
[19:54] <Habbie> 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] <Habbie> or that
[19:54] <Siamaster> Let me try again, let me wait longer with the ubuntu usb.
[20:04] <Siamaster1> 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] <josh_> Hi guys,I am still having issues with my iphone and ubuntu 22.02 when it comes to transferring music...Can anyone help?
[20:19] <oerheks> hi josh_
[20:20] <oerheks> did you install install libimobiledevice-utils ?
[20:20] <oerheks> !info libimobiledevice-utils
[20:24] <josh_> I think I did already I can see the iPhone in file manager and am able to see my pics, the  only issue is music transfer
[20:28] <oerheks> are they DRM protected?
[20:29] <oerheks> i think you can only upload, drm-free
[20:34] <kucklehead> In gnome-tweaks my cursor box is greyed out and I can't change my cursor
[20:34] <kucklehead> Am I missing a package or do I need to use gsettings
[21:42] <pat> hi
[21:43] <Siamaster> I have Windows on my m.2 drive and I wanted to install ubuntu on a separate SSD drive. I think I accidentally installed the boot on the m.2 drive. Is there a way to move the boot location to the correct drive?
[21:43] <mozambique> hello
[21:43] <mozambique> how are you
[22:09] <Siamaster> 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] <toddc> Siamaster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[22:20] <Siamaster> but it seems to be on the right drive. from ubuntu
[22:21] <Siamaster> but not in BIOS, But I think I've experienced this before where after a while it learns it's location
[22:21] <Siamaster> 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] <Kon> Siamaster: Have you run lsblk in terminal? See if that matches what you see in Disks
[22:30] <bitbinge> Does some Ubuntu liveUSB version have built-in memtest86+?
[22:32] <Kon> bitbinge: Yes but I believe it's only in Legacy BIOS mode.
[22:34] <bitbinge> Kon, which iso? 23.04 doesn't have it.
[22:35] <Kon> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MemoryTest
[22:35] <Kon> If needed, go into your BIOS and make sure you are booting in Legacy / CSM mode
[22:37] <oerheks> BIOS-only boot option, not uefi

[22:37] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 1899615 in memtest86+ (Ubuntu) "No 'Memory test' boot menu entry" [Wishlist, Triaged]
[22:38] <oerheks> use the iso from https://www.memtest86.com/
[22:41] <bitbinge> Ah, you mean UEFI mode. I don't see an option to disable UEFI booting :/
[22:41] <bitbinge> I thought secure boot.
[22:42] <bitbinge> oerheks, that's not gpg signed.
[22:42] <Siamaster> Kon , thanks. It's clear now it's on the wrong drive
[22:43] <Siamaster> Can I use Boot-Repair to move it or does it only repair?
[22:44] <Siamaster> because I have no problem other than it would be a problem to format that drive now
[22:53] <Siamaster> Maybe it's faster this way anyway :P
[22:53] <Siamaster> if all the boot partitions are on the m.2 drive
[22:53] <Siamaster> possible?
[22:58] <toddc> Siamaster: yes it can be moved and boot repair can do it but you need to tell it where you want it
[23:31] <Bottle0fWater> Hello guys!
[23:32] <Bottle0fWater> wondering if someone can help with restoring all the settings after reinstalling Ubuntu 22.04?
[23:46] <Siamaster> toddc, Thanks! Seems great! I'm going to make a live version of it and fix this
