willaydhi there - I noticed after upgrading to 23.10 from 23.04 that when hooked up to a dual monitor display that the scale of the secondary display without "fractional scaling" enabled does not actually change, regardless of whether I pick 100% or 200%02:53
willaydI assumed this would be a Gnome 45 issue. However, stumbling upon what I think is a similar issue here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3137 ...02:54
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 3137 in GNOME/mutter "Incorrect desktop panning since fractional scaling was implemented for x11. (All distros)" [Opened]02:54
willaydI am interpreting the response to that issue as the fractional scaling being an ubuntu issue02:55
willaydHmm on second thought maybe it is a Gnome issue. "Fractional scaling" seems to fix the issue but with that disabled things aren't working. So maybe ubuntu is working around a gnome bug here02:55

paul424Hello, with my lame skills I came up to the state where the X11 server does not start ( probably due to change of the display matrix in the laptop -- can this be possible ? )11:01
paul424hmm .... the nvidia module is present , but doesn't rise any issues in /var/log/Xorg.0.log11:03
paul424what shell I do with my lame skills ? Would reinstalling the whole system be an answer  ?11:04
paul424also what is that grub command to start bare svga/vga mode ?11:04
paul424nomodeset does not help either11:26
badiahhi11:28
paul424rolling back to previous kernel version does help tough11:31
Lantizia|Workare the MOK.priv and MOK.dev files in /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/ meant to be something anything can use?12:03
Lantizia|Workwhich have 'CN=ubuntu-mate Secure Boot Module Signature key'12:03
Lantizia|Worke.g. if I compile two custom modules (they come with the install of VMware Workstation)... then I'd normally make a new key for mokutil with CN=VMware and enroll that... but I could just sign the new modules with the MOK.priv and MOK.dev files from /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/ instead?12:03

thewalkeris there an easy way to minimize ubuntu server? I am setting up ubuntu containers, and after setup they are basically immutable14:05
thewalkereach container runs one exactly service14:05
thewalkerand I want to remove everything not related tothat service and basic network (even dhcp is not needed)14:06
thewalkerso that includes, apt-get, apt, cloud-init ..etc.14:06
thewalkerideally, I'd want to miminize the ubuntu image to be just the package that I insalled, libc (and any other required libs), /bin/sh, and systemd14:07
thewalkeris there a way to achive that?14:07
thewalkerjust to be clear, I think I know how to do it manually (maybe not uninstalling apt, apt-get, snap part)14:08
thewalkerbut is there a way to do it automatically?14:08
leftyfbthewalker: it sounds like docker might be what you're looking for14:12
leftyfbthewalker: but to answer your question, an automation tool like ansible might be hlpeful to you14:13
thewalkerI am already having lxd based setup with packer provisioner14:15
leftyfbok, so tell packer to create a docker container for you instead14:15
thewalkerbut how would that be different?14:15
leftyfbthewalker: research the difference between docker containers and lxd containers14:16
leftyfbdocker was built for your exact use case14:16
thewalkerI am looking at this image: https://i.stack.imgur.com/a5Neb.png14:21
thewalkerand I can see how can docker reduce disk footprint, but this is not really what would hope to achieve. what I would hope to achieve is the left picture, except for once everyting is installed, I hoped ubuntu had a way to package manager, unnessary services and related files.14:23
thewalkeras a matter of fact, some services must eventually run as full VMs to offer better isolation (I am thinking pki related services).14:24
thewalkernot sure if that makes sense in general.14:24
leftyfbthewalker: oh, sorry. I assumed you wanted each container to only run 1 service and only it's direct dependencies, removing everything else14:24
thewalkerwell I meant literally remove everything else. I fail to see how docker would do this on its own. last I used docker, I could ssh into docker and see all packages still there(like apt).14:26
leftyfbthewalker: what you're asking for is VERY custom and beyond the scope of the support typically provided here14:26
leftyfbalso a bit unneccessary14:27
thewalkerI see, well I can do it manually, my usecase is.. well being cheep and trying to squeeze every bit of ram/cpu/disk or my laptop-server. But I can do it manually (via script).14:29
thewalkerthanks for confirming that this doesn't usually exist.14:29
ograleftyfb, https://ubuntu.com/blog/combining-distroless-and-ubuntu-chiselled-containers ... (in case you didnt know about it yet)14:50
leftyfbogra: no, I didn't know about this particular 3rd party project not available in the ubuntu repo's to manually build custom image :)14:54
leftyfbalso, it is at it's core, a docker image14:55
leftyfbwhich is what I suggested already14:55
leftyfbsorry, not exactly 3rd party14:58
leftyfbbut still not something someone can just "apt install chiselled-containers"14:58
Exatoo bad they left though15:00
Exathey could have taken any docker-based project, extract the rootfs, rebuild a paritioned disk (or whatever lxd uses) and use it15:00
troelsenHi! Is there a way to upgrade from ubuntu 20.04.4 to 20.04.6 and if there is such need? I don't have `update` in mu sources.list and I do just `apt upgrade`. Do I need to update to 20.04.6 if I want the same environment on two machines, if one is 20.04.4 and 20.04.6?15:09
leftyfbtroelsen: sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade15:10
troelsenso, minor version upgrade doesn't need anything more than just apt update?15:10
leftyfbcorrect15:11
troelsenleftyfb, thanks15:16
ograleftyfb, well, it is an official canonical product/project ... and already used by customers a lot AFAIK ... https://github.com/canonical/chisel ... not actually 3rd party :)15:21
leftyfbogra: yeah, I corrected myself. But still is this something Canonical expects the ubuntu community to support?15:22
Guest29Hi15:22
ograleftyfb, if "the ubuntu community" needs sliced down debian packages from the ubuntu archive for cloud projects ... yes15:22
ogranote that it only works with official archive packages15:23
Guest29what does " Available with Ubuntu Pro " mean, is there no patch for normal ubuntu users?15:23
leftyfb!pro | Guest2915:23
ubottuGuest29: Ubuntu Pro is a service offered by Canonical for expanded CVE patching, ten-years security maintenance and optional support. Anyone can use Ubuntu Pro for free for personal use on up to 5 machines. For details please see https://ubuntu.com/pro and https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-pro-faq15:23
ogra"normal ubuntu users" ... heh15:23
Guest29https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-41915 I don't see any security patches for any ubuntu version15:23
-ubottu:#ubuntu- OpenPMIx PMIx before 4.2.6 and 5.0.x before 5.0.1 allows attackers to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via a race condition during execution of library code with UID 0. <https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-41915>15:23
Guest29for latest ubuntu versions, are there security patches that aren't available to non-paying users, and is this such a case? (understandable, devs gotta eat). I just want to know so i know what to do with the systems we have15:25
Guest29I have 3.1.5-1 for my system but it doesn't have the additional esm version strings, i'm assuming that means vulnerable?15:26
leftyfbGuest29: as the link I sent you explained, the packages being upgraded are part of the universe repository. Historically Canonical does not maintain those packages but instead are maintained by Ubuntu community maintainers. As part of Pro, Canonical updates those packages with security patches.15:28
Guest29thanks leftyfb, is my understanding about the version string correct?15:28

phil92Hey all, I was directed here from Reddit. Not sure if this is exactly the right place, but I'm having some big issues with my laptop. Here's the post copy/pasted from Reddit, please feel free to redirect me to a better chatroom if this is the wrong place.16:15
phil92Issue started happening a few days ago but it's gotten to the point where it's getting to be a real problem. Occasionally, after no specific input or pattern or anything that I can detect, the keyboard on my laptop will stop working. This is usually accompanied by quick freezes where I can't move the mouse (but that will only last a few seconds16:15
phil92before I can move it again) and the Wifi cutting out. When this happens, the keyboard and wifi will be unusable until I restart the computer, but I can still navigate and use my mouse just fine, albeit with occasional freezes. Prior to this issue popping up a few days ago, I haven't had any issues with the keyboard/wifi/minor freezes.16:15
phil92When I restart the computer to get rid of the problem, I'm usually not able to use the proper method of clicking Power Off > Power Off - when I try to do that, the computer hangs at a black screen with the logo but never actually powers off. I need to hold the physical power button to turn it off, and that feels like it takes longer than it should.16:15
phil92For context, I'm using a Dell laptop that was loaded with Windows, but I have a Linux (Ubuntu) partition on it that I use 99% of the time, I only use the Windows partition once a month or so. If anybody has any ideas on what could be going wrong or at least what tools I can use to run diagnostics, that would be extremely helpful. Happy to give more16:15
phil92context/info. Thank you!16:15

arraybolt3phil92: Did you already disable Fast Startup in Windows?16:26
toddcphil92: what version of ubuntu and DE have yo tested the hard drive?16:26
phil92Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS16:27
phil92Haven't tested the hard drive, I'm not sure how I would go about doing that. And similarly haven't disabled Fast Startup in Windows, not sure what that means16:27
arraybolt3phil92: I'd start by disabling Fast Startup, see https://www.howtogeek.com/856514/how-to-disable-fast-startup-on-windows-10/16:28
arraybolt3If you don't, Windows doesn't actually fully shut down your computer when you turn it off.16:29
arraybolt3And that can result in problems when you boot into your Linux system while Windows isn't actually all the way off.16:29
arraybolt3Oftentimes this results in hardware glitching out (usually in the form of the WiFi card simply not working at all).16:29
xeviousUbuntu 20.04 currently has grub packages with two different versions (2.04 and 2.06).  I see that some packages were updated to 2.06 for this CVE: https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6355-1 - however,  the source package was not updated on LaunchPad.  Where is the source for the updated 2.06 packages? Why weren't all grub packages updated to 2.06?16:30
arraybolt3xevious: I don't think 2.06 is available in 20.04, but rather the fixes for CVEs in 20.04 were backported to GRUB 2.04. That's how Ubuntu handles most packages.16:32
arraybolt3It is very rare that a package in an existing stable Ubuntu release will be upgraded to a new version. Instead bug and security fixes are backported into the older version from the newer version for stability's sake.16:32
xeviousIn this case,  2.06 packages for grub-efi were pulled into 20.04 (as can be seen in the link I provided).  I'm trying to understand why a different process was followed this time.16:33
arraybolt3How do you know that this is the case?16:34
arraybolt3oh, interesting16:34
arraybolt3nvm16:34
arraybolt3hmm, good question, might be worth asking about in #ubuntu-security?16:35
xeviousGood suggestion.16:36
JanCxevious: if they pulled in packages from another release then the source package is the one from that other release16:39
JanCmy guess is they did it because that was quicker (especially for the signed packages?)16:41
xeviousI'm mainly just surprised to see deviation from the standard process/workflow.16:42
JanCand the new version is probably unlikely to cause new boot issues16:42
xeviousAnyone working downstream of Ubuntu is currently unable to build matching grub packages for 20.04.16:43
JanCmaybe 2.04 → 2.06 is only bug fixes it wouldn't make a difference really16:43
JanCyou can't use "apt-get source" to get the source package?16:45
xeviousNope.  The source package in the repo is still 2.0416:46
JanCthe source files are in the archive it seems, so either there is some issue with some index file(s) or you don't have all source repositories configured?16:53
JanCxevious: remember you need the grub2-unsigned and/or grub2-signed source package for this?17:00
JanCsee https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/grub2-unsigned & https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/grub2-signed17:01
xeviousThanks.  I was looking here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+source/grub217:02
JanCthe official way is to use apt-get source17:03
xeviousIn this case,  source repos aren't available on the system I discovered the mismatched versions on.  So,  I checked Launchpad,  which has been reliable in the past.17:10

jj_If I'm using stock Ubuntu and wanted to install Budgie (sudo apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop) is that generally considered a bad idea that might introduce problems?17:35

JanCit should not cause major problems17:39
lotuspsychjejj_: but some flavour desktops, can result into issues when you try uninstalling them17:39

mccI am using 23.10 with wayland. I have this box in my Ubuntu Settings https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/365/911/886/773/784/original/b320d4ffc38fa3c9.png labeled "Scaling". If I put it at 150% on my laptop everything looks "right". However, some applications do not support scaling well. Is there a way to disable (or customize, say to 200%, which might work better) this value for individual applications?23:37
mccAlso: Same question, but rather than the "Scaling" in Ubuntu Settings it's the "Fonts->Scaling Factor" box in gnome-tweaks?23:37
mccAn alternate way of asking these questions might be "what are the "scaling" and "fonts->scaling factor" boxes in settings and gnome-tweaks actually "doing"?23:38
