| explore | any good ubuntu networking book(s)? was wondering if it is possible to configure ubuntu server to be a private VPN, i am hoping this will enable me to login into my dwelling, into the ubuntu server, access files, from the ipad/iphone what not, i guess i'll need to get some easy domain name? reverse proxy? then some sort of VPN set up? is that how it works? no clue.. | 00:20 |

| rfm | explore, don't know of any books to recommend, and I've never done it, but it should be doable. Most popular VPN servers on ubuntu are OpenVPN and Wirequard, I think. | 01:09 |
| === deepSleep is now known as Guest2632 | ||
| rfm | explore, wireguard is newer and supposedly easier to administer/connect to. wireguard.com has docs, and it's in the ubuntu repos (so is OpenVPN I think) | 01:11 |
| rfm | explore, don't think you'd need a domain name, unless your residential IP is very unstable, in which case you'd need one of the various dynamic dns services | 01:12 |
| rfm | explore, #networking or #wireguard might be better for getting help since it's not particularly ubuntu-specific | 01:14 |
| explore | ok ok | 01:26 |
| explore | hey so i installed ubuntu server lts when i had no internet connection, from an iso, and then today i finally got internet (telco showed up to plug in the wire), and i did a sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade, it may have had a hiccup when i tried to reboot--after all was said and done | 01:27 |
| explore | it said it had to update kernel or something, i vaguely recall | 01:27 |
| explore | so i wanted to verify, so i did a dpkg -V (as well as debsums -c), i was hoping to see zero errors, but both command listed a sizable list of missing files | 01:28 |
| explore | is that.. normal? | 01:28 |
| explore | : | 01:28 |
| explore | i was inspecting the missing files and mostly locale files, like /usr/share/local/es/LC_MESSAGES/iso_639-2.mo (from iso-codes package) | 01:31 |
| explore | maybe apt is smart enough to only install locale files for my region/localization, that's why so many locale files are missing? | 01:32 |
| explore | i don't get it >___< | 01:32 |
| gry | could you just reinstall that package? | 01:32 |
| explore | i tried, i read this write-up https://devicetests.com/find-reinstall-corrupted-packages-ubuntu | 01:33 |
| explore | and it had two remedies, the second line was to reinstall all packages that the "missing errors" complaineda bout | 01:33 |
| explore | when i ran the command, i got this huge list of errors complaining that these packages don't exist | 01:33 |
| explore | maybe it's nothing...i am a debian system luddite | 01:34 |
| rfm | explore, it's possible that some of the less used locales might be missing stuff (broken packages). In general what happens if a .mo is mising you just get an untranslated (english/C-locale) message | 01:34 |
| explore | ah ok ok | 01:35 |
| explore | not super sure what you just said b/c i don't understand | 01:35 |
| explore | but you said it crystal clear | 01:35 |
| toddc | explore: if you are new to vpn routing you may want to try IPFire for a router with vpn and configs all grafical it worked well for me to learn on | 01:35 |
| explore | thanks for heads uyp | 01:36 |

| hermano | Yesterday I asked about suggestion of solving bluetooth problems (could not find the devices). Turned out that this was a problem occuring by the motherboard. It got solved by removing powercable and switch off the power button in the rear. Seems bluetooth feature on motherboard can behave same way as a bluetooth dongle. The computer thought that the bluetooth was unplugged. By doing the power reset, bluetooth comes back. | 06:05 |
| hermano | Anyone knows why the loss of bluetooth from motherboard happens? | 06:06 |
| hermano | I will move my last question to #hardware channel. | 06:06 |
| toddc | hermano: many reasons heat from expanding and contracting dust in the connectors, parts breaking down on the bluetooth module bad solder on the board | 06:09 |
| hermano | Tower server is 5 month and it was assembled for me. But, yes sound reasonable that something must have caused the unplugging of bluetooth. | 06:15 |

| nteodosio | With around 1000 users what accuracy do you expect a response to have, locke? | 07:42 |
| locke | I don't know. But hexchat for Linux xeens very hard to find. | 07:45 |

| locke | I had it on my laptop, then that laptop went caffluey and ubuntu had to be reinstalled. | 07:47 |
| locke | So, I wonder what the others are now using for an IRC client. | 07:48 |
| nteodosio | What do you mean with hard to find? It's in the archive, apt install hexchat. | 07:49 |
| locke | I tried it on my laptop. And it says that there is no hexchat. | 07:50 |
| nteodosio | Hmm, weird. Can you share the output of 'sudo apt update && apt policy hexchat'? | 07:50 |
| toddc | hexchat is not availible after 20.04 per https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hexchat | 07:52 |
| toddc | but it is a snap in 22.o4 | 07:53 |
| nteodosio | toddc, no, they just seem to have sorted the distributions alphabetically now, which is indeed confusing. | 07:53 |
| nteodosio | So it is still available in all supported releases and Mantic. | 07:53 |

| nteodosio | Don't install the snap, but the deb. Open a terminal and enter 'sudo apt install hexchat'. | 08:01 |
| locke | How do you install the deb? | 08:02 |
| nteodosio | I just told you... | 08:02 |
| locke | You said to open the terminal after the deb has been installed? | 08:03 |
| nteodosio | No, to install the deb, open a terminal and enter that command. | 08:03 |
| locke | command deb not found | 08:06 |
| locke | Do I have to get rid of the snapd first? | 08:06 |
| locke | It said that there is a command den or dub | 08:07 |
| nteodosio | You already entered 'sudo apt install hexchat'? Then it is installed and you can launch it normally, or by typing 'hexchat' in the terminal, not 'deb'. | 08:08 |
| locke | or debt or debc or derb ... | 08:08 |
| nteodosio | The deb is the packaging format. So you can either install hexchat packaged in deb format or the snap format. I guess the software center installed the snap format. Thus I suggested you to install the deb format via the command line. | 08:09 |

| guiverc | locke, Ubuntu systems allow you to install both deb and snap packages, but commands control which is installed. eg. to install firefox using a deb I could `sudo apt install firefox` (ie. sudo to elevate privileges, `apt` is the command to download & do something; install is what I want, and `firefox` tells it what I want to install; ie. `sudo apt install firefox` | 08:23 |
| guiverc | if I wanted to install a `firefox` snap; it would be `snap install firefox` OR `sudo snap install firefox`.. to install `hexchat` it would be `sudo apt install hexchat` | 08:24 |
| * guiverc has put commands within `` brackets; `apt-get` is an older version of `apt`, with a number of ways we can accomplish tasks. | 08:25 | |
| * guiverc is heading out though sorry; won't be around for a couple of hours | 08:25 | |
| locke | guiverc, doesn't firefox come with the ubuntu distribution? | 08:28 |
| locke | Do you get the Activities on the left side of your home screen? | 08:28 |
| * guiverc was using firefox as example | 08:28 | |
| * guiverc adds deb is package format; snap is a package format + a command; deb packages are installed with `dpkg`, or can be installed via front-end tools such as `apt-get` or `apt` which combined download (wget) & the install (dpkg) for you | 08:30 | |
| locke | For me the install snapd seemed to work. | 08:30 |

| kx112 | I am using Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, with NetworkManager version 1.36.6. I get very frequent WiFi disconnections, I think caused by this bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/merge_requests/1263. It looks like for my Ubuntu release, 1.36.6 is the latest NetworkManager version. Any tips on how I can upgrade? | 12:14 |
| -ubottu:#ubuntu- Merge 1263 in NetworkManager/NetworkManager "wifi: wait supplicant to settle before renewing DHCP after roam" [Merged] | 12:14 | |
| leftyfb | !latest | kx112 | 12:15 |
| ubottu | kx112: 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. | 12:15 |
| leftyfb | kx112: I would start with disabling power saving to see if that solves your issue https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/315400 | 12:16 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:20 |
| kx112 | leftyfb: I tried disabling power saving, to no avail. From looking at the NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant logs, I'm fairly sure it is the bug mentioned above: my device roams, starts to reauthenticate with a new beacon, but a dhcp refresh occurs during this which gives me a new IP and causes any connections to reset. | 12:20 |
| ioria | kx112, there are alternatives to NM (e.g. wicd), but idk if it would solve your issue | 12:21 |
| zoomm10 | kx112: how do you know that is not i wifi interference problem? | 12:23 |
| kx112 | zoomm10: Here are the logs: https://pastebin.com/raw/8DHMWxPB. The disconnection is caused due to getting a new IP when roaming between beacons. | 12:29 |
| kx112 | ioria: I would prefer to use NetworkManager. I suppose I could upgrade my Ubuntu version to one with a new NM version, but I'd prefer to stick with an LTS version. However, if I cannot resolve this, I will probably have little other option, as the disconnects are very frequent at the moment. | 12:30 |

| pavlos | Terminal-V: df -h | awk '$NF=="/"{printf "Disk Usage: %d/%d GB (%s)\n", $3,$2,$5}' | 15:31 |
| v0lZy | hi | 15:31 |
| Terminal-V | pavlos is there a good way for normal people? | 15:31 |
| v0lZy | General netplan/networkmanager issues someone might be able to help with ... | 15:31 |
| ioria | Terminal-V, just 'df -h' | 15:32 |
| Terminal-V | ioria I found that meaningless. | 15:32 |
| ioria | really ? | 15:32 |
| Terminal-V | ioria yes. isn't there just a total sum figure with some simple command? | 15:32 |
| pavlos | Terminal-V: you can alias df to what I typed ... mine says, Disk Usage: 50/219 GB (24%) | 15:33 |
| v0lZy | I have 2 files in /etc/netplan ... one to bring up enp2s0 without an IP (using rendered NetworkManager) and the other to bring up vswitch0 with dhcp (using networkd as renderer) ... I am currently connected the way I need to be, but nmcli dev shows only unmanaged devices... however, it should show enp2s0 as managed, no? | 15:33 |
| Terminal-V | pavlos sweet. What is the command? | 15:33 |
| Terminal-V | Can 'df' be used to show the total sum of used and free for /? | 15:34 |
| pavlos | Terminal-V: at the end of .bashrc add the command I gave. Any time you pop a terminal it will show Disk Usage | 15:34 |

| v0lZy | rage quit at df -h ? :D | 15:41 |
| v0lZy | yeah, those people are never going to survive in a Linux OS, forget it.. | 15:41 |
| v0lZy | "dont you understand man, I dont want to remember!" | 15:41 |
| ioria | v0lZy, what you mean with 'without an IP' ? | 15:42 |
| v0lZy | ioria: i just need the link state up. | 15:43 |
| ioria | oh,ok | 15:43 |
| v0lZy | but I don't want an IP configuration on it. | 15:43 |
| v0lZy | I have this working, by the looks of ip add output | 15:43 |
| v0lZy | and if i inspect /run/systemd/network files, it looks properly applied | 15:43 |
| v0lZy | yet, NetworkManager insists that its not managing anything | 15:43 |
| ioria | not sure if NM can manage two .yaml files | 15:44 |
| v0lZy | which causes a problem with cockpit, which needs NetworkManager to manage something, else it thinks its offline and doesnt bother showing me updates. | 15:44 |
| v0lZy | im not using it to manage 2 yaml files, so thats fine | 15:44 |
| v0lZy | I'm using networkd as renderer in one file, and NetworkManager as renderer in the other file. | 15:44 |
| ioria | v0lZy, afaik, when you use networkd, would be recommended to stop and disable NM, and viceversa | 15:46 |
| v0lZy | yeah, cant have that | 15:47 |
| v0lZy | ubuntu packages debian's NEtworkManager which doesn't provide means to manage openvswitch | 15:47 |
| v0lZy | so have ot use systemd-networkd for that directly | 15:47 |
| v0lZy | but cockpit required NetworkManager | 15:47 |
| ioria | i see | 15:47 |
| pavlos | there is a cockpit-networkmanager module | 15:48 |
| v0lZy | from what I understand, systemd-networkd is what does networking, netplan is a declarative way of doing networking (think ansible and automation etc) and NetworkManager is a daemon that ensures networking is seamlessly transitioning on events | 15:48 |
| v0lZy | like unplug laptop from ethernet port, ensures that its on wifi, etc | 15:49 |
| v0lZy | in that sense, there shouldnt be any conflcit between netplan and networkmanager | 15:49 |
| v0lZy | as long as you properly have 1 file per each interface | 15:49 |
| v0lZy | cockpit-networkmanager I have... but as said, issue is with cockpit consulting network manager before it renders updates ont he page | 15:49 |
| v0lZy | if networkmanager is showing no managed devices, then it doesnt show updates | 15:50 |
| v0lZy | in my case, i am trying to get NetworkManager to manage the enp2s0 device | 15:50 |
| v0lZy | and in this sense, 'manage' means 'bring the link up without dhcp' | 15:50 |
| v0lZy | but from what i understand, network manager at the end of the day does the exact same thing as if i go and write manual files for systemd-networkd | 15:51 |
| v0lZy | so the whole concept of it 'managing' something is quite arbitrary - we tell it which interfaces it should manage (via netplan files) | 15:52 |
| v0lZy | in my case, it seems to do what I tell it, but not register that its 'managing' that interface. | 15:52 |
| v0lZy | (so ultimately, I do have the network set up the way I want it to, its just the effing NetworkManager saying 'Managing enp2s0? Who? Me? Nooo.' | 15:53 |
| pavlos | https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/change-netplan-renderer-from-networkd-to-networkmanager/ | 15:57 |
| ioria | v0lZy, someone replied to that issue, with a 'Ok, do not manage your network interfaces through Cockpit' (and use networkd, masking the servie) | 15:58 |
| ioria | *service | 15:58 |
| v0lZy | so, its not about using cockpit to manage networking | 16:03 |
| v0lZy | its about cockpit showing updates available to the system | 16:03 |
| v0lZy | that simply doesnt work without networkmanager | 16:03 |
| v0lZy | and networkmanager simply doesnt work with openvswitch (because Debian) | 16:04 |
| v0lZy | I have a situation where I have this unlucky combo | 16:04 |

| raffo | I've got the package libgcc-9-dev:i386 which owns that library. Don't know why it is not used during linking. | 17:07 |
| lick | rfm what does 'apt info gimp' say to you? mine says "Can't select versions from package 'gimp' as it is purely virtual" | 17:08 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | raffo: normally when i run into problems like this i'm unable to resolve them myself. | 17:08 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | good luck. | 17:08 |
| Guest74 | I resolve with a revolver around a planet that circles stars | 17:09 |
| raffo | mosfet: I did the add-architecture command and the dist-upgrade. A few packages were installed, all amd64 architecture. It did not have any effect. | 17:09 |
| Guest74 | then the effect was irrelevant to the cause of action, and it was good | 17:10 |
| lick | rfm: I have lines like this, is it enough? deb https://mirror...../ubuntu/ jammy universe | 17:11 |
| rfm | lick, https://termbin.com/cuzg is what i get from apt info gimp | 17:11 |
| lick | oh weird why do you get a real package and I get a dummy? Are you using 22.04.03 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) ? | 17:15 |
| rfm | lick, I would be suspicious of the mirror being busted, or maybe a bad locally cached version? "apt clean" and maybe try a different mirror | 17:15 |
| nunya | does anyone know how to exclude an application from software updater ubuntu Thunderbird 115 sucks and I don't wat the software udater downloading updates. I have locked the version I want in Synaptic but "Software Updater" keeps downloading a newer version. | 17:15 |
| nunya | I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 | 17:15 |
| rfm | lick, this was installed with 22.04 but has been upgraded all along so its effectively 22.04.3 | 17:16 |
| pavlos | sudo apt-mark hold <package-name> | 17:16 |
| lick | rfm, yes that is how I got here also. | 17:16 |
| pavlos | nunya: sudo apt-mark hold <package-name> | 17:17 |
| nunya | I still want it to download other updates to other applications and have the otion to install these updates just not Thunderbird | 17:17 |
| lick | hmm 'apt update' now gives me dozens of lines of output repeating 'Get:24 https://mirror.enzu.com/ubuntu jammy i386 Contents (deb) [36.9 MB]' | 17:18 |
| lick | I just started using this mirror a day or two ago, maybe its buggy | 17:20 |
| pavlos | nunya: to allow updates change hold to unhold. | 17:24 |
| nunya | pavlos: Thanks! | 17:26 |
| lick | thanks rfm! apt clean; apt update changed the gimp package | 17:31 |
| raffo | Is there a tutorial for how to setup an Ubuntu installation so that the necessary development packages are installed to compile 32-bit binaries? | 17:31 |
| lick | I'm puzzled because I though apt info was supposed to be cryptographically signed and verified. | 17:32 |
| ioria | raffo, https://devicetests.com/understanding-gcc-multilib-ubuntu | 17:34 |
| ioria | lick, do you mean this ? http://mirror.enzu.com/ubuntu/dists/jammy-updates/ | 17:36 |
| pick | I'm puzzled because I though apt info was supposed to be cryptographically signed and verified; how could apt clean; apt update change the gimp package from dummy to actual package? | 17:38 |
| ioria | lick, do you mean this ? http://mirror.enzu.com/ubuntu/dists/jammy-updates/ ; if yes seems that last update was on 26-Jan-2023 | 17:39 |
| ioria | pick, ^ | 17:40 |
| pick | ioria: that's odd, I'm pretty sure the ubuntu mirror list called it up to date!! | 17:49 |
| pick | Is updating once a year sufficient for a mirror ? | 17:50 |

| ubottu | adrh: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! | 17:51 |
| raffo | ioria: it doesn't want to install that package, some dependency: "Depends: gcc-9-multilib (>= 9.3.0-3~) but it is not going to be installed" | 17:51 |
| raffo | In any case, it's f'd up. In trying to manually install other packages, I accidentally removed a bunch of i386 packages. They're not available in ther current repos for installation. | 17:53 |
| ioria | raffo, apt-cache policy gcc-9-multilib | 17:53 |
| pick | rfm ioria : why wouldn't apt catch that it was being offered old lists from a mirror? | 17:53 |
| ioria | pick, my advice (for now) is just not trust that mirror | 17:54 |

| Guest55 | Hello Ubuntu Team | 18:21 |
| Guest55 | I wonder if you are available to guide me on install an app on Ubuntu | 18:22 |
| leftyfb | Guest55: sudo apt install <name of your app> | 18:23 |
| Guest55 | yes, its a inverter monitoring app called Watchpower, comes in Linux 64bits version: https://www.mppsolar.com/v3/download/ | 18:24 |
| leftyfb | Guest55: you'll need to follow their instructions on how to install it and seek support from them if you have issues with it | 18:24 |
| Guest55 | it requires jre and jdk but I cannot manage to get it running on several rp4 distros | 18:25 |
| Guest55 | leftyfb: I already ask them but they didnt give app support | 18:25 |
| leftyfb | Guest55: then if the app vendor doesn't provide support for their app, I wouldn't use it | 18:26 |
| Guest55 | I have been trying , like using wine to run it as win .exe app without avail , also darling to run it as macos but cannot install gcc-multilib | 18:27 |
| leftyfb | good luck | 18:28 |
| Guest55 | leftyfb: I cannot as its the only app able to monitor via usb the device i need | 18:28 |

| nasum | hello how can i see the total size of installed packages? | 19:28 |
| nasum | DeepAI recommended this command: sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions && apt-show-versions -b | grep -v uptodate | awk '{print $2} ' | xargs apt-cache show | grep "^Size: " | awk '{print $2}' | paste -sd+ - | bc && apt-get purge --auto-remove -y apt-show-versions | 19:28 |
| nasum | what do you think of this command? | 19:29 |
| EriC^^ | nasum: seems bit convoluted and unnecessary in many ways | 19:39 |
| EriC^^ | nasum: you could use something like dpkg -l | awk '$1 =="ii" {print $2}' | xargs apt-cache show | awk '$1 == "Size: " {print $2}' |.... | 19:41 |
| EriC^^ | not sure why you need apt-show-versions | 19:43 |
| ioria | nasum, i'd use dpkg-query | 19:46 |
| ioria | dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n | awk '{print $1}' | 19:46 |
| === kelvis is now known as K3LV1 | ||
| EriC^^ | nice ioria | 19:49 |
| EriC^^ | nasum: this should get the total size like the earlier command "dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\n' | paste -sd+ - | bc" | 19:50 |
| ioria | let's try: dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | awk '{print $1}'> sum ; awk '{ sum += $1 } END { print sum }' sum | 19:50 |
| EriC^^ | something isnt right though | 19:52 |
| ioria | EriC^^, how you doing EriC^^ ? all good ? | 19:52 |
| EriC^^ | i get like 9mb for mine, if you do apt-cache show <package> , the size shows a number but in dpkg-query a different one, wonder whats going on | 19:52 |
| EriC^^ | hey ioria , all good here thanks :) what about you? | 19:53 |
| ioria | EriC^^, same stuff, boring ... but it's ok | 19:53 |
| ioria | EriC^^, 9mb ? | 19:53 |
| EriC^^ | yup i got the number 9794152 | 19:54 |
| EriC^^ | maybe it's not in bytes? | 19:57 |
| ioria | nope, kb | 19:59 |
| ioria | i think; https://serverfault.com/questions/291743/on-a-debian-system-how-is-the-installed-size-field-of-the-control-file-used | 20:00 |
| EriC^^ | yup | 20:01 |
| ioria | have a nice night | 20:02 |

| Eickmeyer | BinarySavior: libgtsam4? | 23:29 |
| BinarySavior | is that it? | 23:29 |
| Eickmeyer | !info libgtsam4 | 23:29 |
| ubottu | Package libgtsam4 does not exist in lunar | 23:29 |
| Eickmeyer | ... | 23:29 |
| Eickmeyer | BinarySavior: It'll be in 23.10, but not before. | 23:30 |
| guiverc | yep I see only `libgtsam4 | 4.2~9+dfsg-5 | mantic/universe | amd64, arm64, riscv64, s390x` | 23:31 |
| BinarySavior | ahh okay | 23:31 |
| BinarySavior | must be new | 23:31 |
| Eickmeyer | Only 48 commits on github, I'd assume so. | 23:31 |
| BinarySavior | how can i monitor progress of unattended upgrades? | 23:35 |
