[01:07] <nickzxcv> does netplan have an option to take the ip and other info from DHCP and write a static IP with it during https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall ?
[02:30] <craycrayblueday> This is my first time IRCing. I don't know what I'm doing. Love you all. Bye.
[02:48] <nickzxcv> what's this referring to https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1946609 ? where it says it was implemented in 21.10... i would like to do that
[02:48] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 1946609 in subiquity "Error when I purge snapd package in late-commands" [Undecided, New]
[02:50] <rbox> what do you mean "do that"
[02:55] <nickzxcv> rbox: not install snap
[02:55] <rbox> that bug gives some suggestions...
[02:56] <nickzxcv> yeah but at the end it says "Well, luckily for you this feature has been implemented in the soon to be
[02:56] <nickzxcv> released Ubuntu 21.10!"
[02:56] <rbox> guess you'll have to read the docuemtantion
[03:02] <hackinghorn> hi
[03:05] <hackinghorn> Firefox does not open when I click the icon. But I still can run it from the terminal. How do I know what to fix?
[03:39] <Vooloo> So I upgraded my kernel, and now I can't login, the password is "incorrect". What gives?
[03:46] <mybalzitch> capslock?
[03:50] <JeffH> In the last month or so, it seems like the clang 17 packages have been updated 3-4 times.  Is that pretty common?
[03:51] <mybalzitch> guess it depends on whats happening in the changelog
[03:53] <JeffH> Looks like maybe i'm on an experimental branch or something.. I see exp1+<date> in the package name.
[03:54] <JeffH> which would explain the frequent updates
[04:04] <nickzxcv> rbox: looking at this https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-reference i've tried the following user-data cloud-config file https://dpaste.org/h5YiR
[04:05] <nickzxcv> the installer loads it ok and is running until it crashes with a message about the -snap line
[04:07] <nickzxcv> is that the wrong way to do it?
[04:38] <joekn> anybody else using a multiple monitor setup with NVIDIA drivers?  I get my setup to work but it requires some finnicking to get it to work.  Couple terminal calls reconnecting to the laptop and getting lucky.  Kind of interested to see if I can track down the root cause
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> joekn: if your nvidia driver is loaded correctly, you should be able to recognize multiple screens in gnomes screen settings
[04:40] <joekn> I get 4 monitors after I make a couple terminal calls and finnicking
[04:41] <joekn> I am trying to avoid doing that everytime I boot into ubuntu
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> a couple of terminal calls?
[04:41] <joekn> I have 3 monitors using a dell docking station and 1 monitor connected through hdmi
[04:42] <joekn> I am using the open kernal nvidia driver 545 open proprietary
[04:42] <joekn> emove monitor cnfigs, start gdm3 service, dpkg reconfigure gdm3 and restart gdm
[04:43] <joekn> set up my 2 2k monitors to max refresh rate - everything works great until i reboot and i have to do this all over again
[04:43] <joekn> sometimes my laptop freezes i have to power cycle and try again it sucks
[04:44] <joekn> i updated the ubuntu drivers for display link
[05:27] <webchat98> I am wondering if I could some help with cifsd tainted, when the Samba server on the other end was abruptly shutdown.
[05:34] <webchat98> First time coming here, might not know the workflow to get problems resolved. Do I need to provide a sudo dmesg Cut Paste?
[05:37] <Bashing-om> webchat98: Work flow is as you have it - ask your question and wait for one to respond who knows :D
[08:53] <linux^> is intel x722 included in ubuntu or do i need to download and install manually?
[08:54] <webchat98> What driver does it use?
[08:54] <ravage> What is x722?
[08:54] <webchat98> Typically you add a userspace firmware, if not, then you need to go re-compile the kernel with the driver kernel modules.
[08:55] <ravage> Looks like an Ethernet card
[08:55] <linux^> the lan model it shows in windows https://postimg.cc/Jsn3GhcN
[08:56] <linux^> this motherboard https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=EPC612D8A#Specifications
[08:57] <ravage> Usually intel is supported pretty well
[08:57] <ravage> Boot a live cd
[08:57] <webchat98> Is this the i40 driver?
[08:57] <ravage> And check if you see it
[08:58] <webchat98> ravage: not with AX210 not supporting 6GHz AP mode
[08:58] <ravage> WiFi is a different thing
[08:59] <webchat98> I would avoid Intel and jump for Realtek, or Mediatek
[08:59] <ravage> Realtek is consumer garbage
[09:00] <webchat98> Especially when switch chips start supporting DSA now days.
[09:00] <webchat98> ravage: how is so, we use it at our server farm, did not see packet losses
[09:00] <linux^> the motherboard  is already bought and cpu is xeon silver 4214R trying to switch from windows to linux
[09:00] <linux^> webchat98
[09:01] <linux^> running and cant send it back
[09:01] <webchat98> lsmod | grep i40?
[09:02] <webchat98> cd /sys/class/net/drivers, ls ?
[09:02] <linux^> im running windows rn , without proper knowledge on advance and switch
[09:02] <linux^> cant*
[09:03] <webchat98> Are you going to stay on Windows?
[09:03] <linux^> no
[09:03] <linux^> thats why asking these questions
[09:03] <webchat98> Ok, pretty sure you can't troubleshoot Linux problems on Windows
[09:04] <linux^> im just looking for some knowledge in advance
[09:04] <webchat98> Oh, you are asking whether the network card is supported before you make the switch?
[09:04] <webchat98> The answer is a 80% yes, I would say.
[09:04] <linux^> and if the whole motherboard is supported
[09:05] <webchat98> Then we need all the specs, motherboard chipset?
[09:06] <linux^> this motherboard https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=EPC612D8A#Specifications
[09:07] <linux^> Chipset	- Intel® C612
[09:07] <webchat98> The description lists an ancient version of Ubuntu
[09:08] <webchat98> So Ubuntu is grandfathered in, I guess.
[09:09] <NewtonTrendy> can i have a refund?
[09:09] <NewtonTrendy> i'm joking about im not unhappy
[09:10] <NewtonTrendy> i think someone offered a refund but i said no, because i can afford ubuntu, i didnt notice
[09:11] <NewtonTrendy> i wouldn't really mind a refund for ubuntu if it makes your life easier, but that is also what im trying to do
[09:11] <linux^>  the cpu is relatively newer not too old xeon silver 4214R
[09:11] <NewtonTrendy> ok rant over
[09:11] <NewtonTrendy> s/about/about,
[09:11] <linux^> so im not sure why did they list only Ubuntu 12.04.2
[09:12] <webchat98> Did someone mistyped 22 for 12?
[09:12] <mzoku> how to move multiple files that contain "text" in their names?
[09:12] <NewtonTrendy> webchat98: you are talking about...
[09:12] <webchat98> mv *text* /location/
[09:13] <mzoku> nice, webchat98 , thanks
[09:13] <webchat98> find . -f -name "*text*" -exec, horrible syntax, I don't remember from the top of my head
[09:15] <mzoku> mv *text* did a great job
[09:17] <mzoku> and If I want to mv two files, how would be the syntaxt?
[09:17] <mzoku> or multiple files etc.
[09:18] <linux^> so what is your verdict? webchat98? am I good to go? and about lan are the drivers included  in kernel or do I need to install it later downloading?
[09:23] <toddc> linux^: I think I have used that setuo in the past with no issue but as fast as stuff changes I usually boot it to live Desktop USB for a quick check as no changes will be made then install away if everything works
[09:25] <toddc> I would not expect any issues
[09:29] <webchat98> linux^: as always, do at your own risk. I would say it is more likely than not it will succeed.
[09:29] <webchat98> ...by a preponderance of evidence, the lawyer says
[11:16] <clemens3> find . -f -name "*text*" | while read file; do mv -i "$file" /location/; done
[11:17] <clemens3> the | while read line is a hammer, can be used everywhere
[11:18] <clemens3> relatively easy to remember
[11:31] <ph88> hi all
[11:32] <ph88> i can see my other computer showing up in nautilus, i can also ping this computer. When i try to connect to it i get "failed to retrieve share list from server Connection timed out"  what can i do about this ?
[12:37] <ph88> how can i do sftp or nfs between 2 ubuntu machines on the same network? samba is not working
[12:56] <KGB_> https://files.catbox.moe/uskbaa.jpg
[13:34] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:47] <Kadigan> ph88: can you `sudo ufw status` for me?
[13:47] <Kadigan> Does Ubuntu come with samba preconfigured?
[13:48] <ph88> Kadigan, Status: inactive
[13:48] <Kadigan> Are you sure Samba is installed, configured, and running on the machine you're trying to connect to?
[13:48] <ph88> Kadigan, i dont know if it comes preconfigured. i installed nautilus-share
[13:49] <ph88> Kadigan, on machine i try to connect to i installed something for it. just a moment i will look what
[13:50] <Kadigan> The first Google result I see is a bug report from '18 saying that nautilus-share has been broken for some while by then. Not sure if that's still the case.
[13:51] <Grems> `do-release-upgrade` (23.04 to 23.10), getting "you have held broken packages". `apt-mark` showhold returns nothing. Already done apt's update, upgrade, autoremove, autopurge, autoclean. What do I try next?
[13:51] <ph88> Kadigan, hmmm i didn't installed something recently ... maybe a long time ago
[13:51] <EriC^^> Grems: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:52] <lotuspsychje> Grems: can you pastebin what error(s) apt gives you please
[13:52] <Kadigan> ph88: I think I would use straight-up samba standalone, to be honest - but then I was never a big fan of tailored packages
[13:52] <EriC^^> Grems: also try dpkg -l | grep -Ev "^rc|^ii"
[13:53] <ph88> Kadigan, how do i do that ?
[13:54] <Kadigan> Not sure, at this junction. I mean normally it's `apt install samba`, but I'm not sure if it'll conflict with nautilus-share or whatever else it may've installed.
[13:54] <Kadigan> Hm.
[13:54] <Kadigan> Have you tried sftp?
[13:54] <Kadigan> If you can SSH into the box, I think it should work as-is.
[13:55] <Kadigan> Do keep in mind that sftp throughput is... NOT great.
[13:55] <Kadigan> (it's more a case of using something designed for another use, because it's strictly speaking technically possible, but...)
[13:57] <ph88> oh ok
[13:58] <ph88> samba package is already installed on both systems
[13:59] <ph88> when i do  ssh ipaddress   it doesn't connect though
[14:00] <Kadigan> What is the response you get?
[14:00] <imi> is it safe to apt purge atop?
[14:00] <ph88> Kadigan, not getting any response the terminal just hangs
[14:01] <Kadigan> ssh -vvv ip?
[14:01] <Kadigan> Also, `systemctl status sshd` on the target?
[14:01] <ph88> https://bpa.st/HXPQ
[14:02] <ph88> sshd seems to be not installed on target
[14:02] <ph88> i will install it
[14:03] <Kadigan> The package you want is probably openssh-server
[14:03] <ph88> should i restart the target ?
[14:04] <Kadigan> Try `systemctl enable ssh --now`
[14:04] <Kadigan> and retry connecting.
[14:04] <ph88> ssh or sshd ?
[14:05] <ph88> hmmm no connection still
[14:05] <Kadigan> It's been ages since I've had to do it, so try one - and if it doesn't do it, try the other.
[14:05] <ph88> i think ssh was correct
[14:05] <Kadigan> systemctl will report back on what it's doing if something goes wrong, in general, so you should know if it failed
[14:06] <ph88> still hangs as before though
[14:06] <Kadigan> Sure the IP is correct?
[14:07] <ph88> yes
[14:07] <Kadigan> Okay, maybe --now doesn't start it. `systemctl start ssh`?
[14:07] <ph88> it says it with ifconfig on the target and also i can ping it from source system
[14:08] <ph88> sshd is running on target
[14:08] <Kadigan> And still no connection?
[14:08] <ph88> no connection still
[14:09] <Kadigan> Can you connect from another machine? Maybe there's something preventing outgoing connections on the source machine?
[14:10] <ph88> i will try
[14:12] <Grems> EriC^^: `dist-upgrade` seems to make no difference. Not finding any with `dpkg -l | grep -Ev "^rc|^ii"
[14:12] <Grems> lotuspsychje: https://dpaste.com/4Z3yawzst
[14:13] <ph88> Kadigan, also hangs from the other machine
[14:14] <EriC^^> Grems: share /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and apt.log
[14:16] <Kadigan> ph88: okay, restart the target then; this should work out of the box, so I'm kinda grasping at straws here :-) but let's see what happens.
[14:17] <ph88> Kadigan, ok restarting now
[14:17] <ph88> another thing, does anyone know the pfexec program used here ?  https://sunshowers.io/posts/am5-ryzen-7000-ecc-ram/
[14:19] <Kadigan> Someone probably does. What's your question about it?
[14:19] <ph88> i want to check if my ecc memory works in ecc mode
[14:20] <Grems> EriC^^: main.log: https://dpaste.com/c5mjwtzrp - apt.log: https://dpaste.com/6za7p4vjh
[14:20] <ph88> oh pfexec is actually the same as sudo nvm
[14:20] <Kadigan> ph88: `dmidecode -t memory`
[14:21] <Kadigan> Google says "should show a 'Total Width' greater than 'Data Width' and say 'Error Correction Type: Multi-bit ECC'."
[14:21] <Kadigan> Though I am unsure if it reports on what is actually in use. Never had to deal with ECC memory.
[14:21] <ph88> Kadigan, i restarted target, still timing out on the connection :(
[14:22] <Kadigan> `systemctl status ssh`?
[14:22] <Kadigan> (on the target)
[14:23] <ph88> its active
[14:23] <Kadigan> So to recap: a) sshd is running, b) ufw is not enabled, c) you can ping the machine, and finally d) ssh to it fails with a timeout
[14:25] <ph88> ufw not enabled on source, will check target now
[14:25] <Kadigan> Also, `dmidecode` reports capability, not actual use. I can't find any Google results that explain how to test it actually working.
[14:25] <ph88> ufw active on target
[14:26] <Kadigan> Then that's likely your issue.
[14:26] <ph88> Kadigan, it's in a the same blogpost some more tips to use a utility /usr/lib/usmn which i cant find
[14:26] <Kadigan> `sudo ufw allow ssh`
[14:26] <ph88> Kadigan, now ssh works :D
[14:26] <Kadigan> Would you look at that.
[14:26] <EriC^^> Grems: seems something to do with ubuntu-desktop
[14:27] <EriC^^> why not clean install instead?
[14:27] <ph88> oh it's so nice now i can transfer all my files to the new system :D
[14:27] <Kadigan> ph88: if you don't intend to expose this machine to the internet, or have a router inbetween and are NOT using ipv6, I would probably recommed disabling ufw altogether, unless you don't trust other members of your LAN
[14:28] <ph88> it's my laptop which i take to travels. now i bought a desktop which is more powerful
[14:28] <Grems> EriC^^: I saw the `ubuntu-desktop` thing as well, and assumed it was "ubuntu-desktop" as opposed to "ubuntu-server". Not clean install because it's a hassle compared to upgrading. Usually.
[14:28] <EriC^^> gotcha
[14:31] <Grems> EriC^^: Is it not in your experience?
[14:32] <EriC^^> not really, sorry
[14:33] <Grems> EriC^^: How so?
[14:34] <EriC^^> dont have experience with the upgrade issue
[14:35] <ph88> I used to be able to open deb files within the GUI (ubuntu 22.04) now with ubuntu 23.10 i get this https://imgur.com/a/Sq7SQgl Is there any way to open deb files with the software installation center ?
[14:35] <EriC^^> Grems: everybody here is just volunteers (not ubuntu staff or coders or something) , maybe someone knows feel free to paste again the logs in a bit
[14:36] <EriC^^> Grems: where is the ubuntu-desktop package from? try 'apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop'
[14:37] <EriC^^> maybe it's some ppa issue happening
[14:45] <Grems> EriC^^: Seems like a meta-package. Installed: 1.501
[14:45] <Grems> (Also: "For a good time, click "ubuntu": https://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ " /joke)
[14:47] <Kadigan> There's a limit. I suppose it's a nesting limit? :D
[14:47] <EriC^^> Grems: can you share the paste? need to see the repos at the bottom for its source
[14:48] <EriC^^> Grems: you can do 'apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop | nc termbin.com 9999' to paste it straight away
[14:48] <Grems> EriC^^: "lunar/main amd64"
[14:49] <Menzador> ph88: I usually take care of third-party package installation using the command line, but ONLY DO SO IFF YOU WHOLLY TRUST THE DEVELOPER.
[14:49] <tpanarch1st> Hello, i'm having some difficulties with getting fail2ban working on my Ubuntu VPS. I'm not having much joy having done the obligatory search on google. Fail2ban is not currently showing anything within iptables. I've created a local jail, enabled it and restarted f2b but still no joy
[14:50] <EriC^^> Grems: oh ok
[14:50] <Menzador> ph88 I assume this is coming from Synology, so it's up to you to make sure the package is coming from who it says it's coming
[14:50] <Menzador> ph88: But if you're looking for a GUI to manage it, install GDebi (or QApt if you're using KDE)
[14:51] <Menzador> And then open your .deb package with it
[14:53] <Guest1721> ph88, https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/10/install-deb-ubuntu-23-10-no-app-error
[14:53] <Menzador> Honestly though you should check to see if Synology has shipped a snap or (less secure) a PPA
[14:53] <ogra> yeah
[14:54] <Menzador> Being Synology, they should know; my company uses their NAS systems for client replication
[14:55] <ph88> thanks Menzador and Guest1721
[14:55] <Menzador> yw!
[15:07] <ph88> how can i set the CTRL + ALT + T keyboard shortcut to open alacritty ?
[15:08] <Menzador> ph88: Settings > Keyboard (if you're using GNOME)
[15:09] <ph88> oh yes just as customer shortcut
[15:09] <ph88> nice
[15:12] <Menzador> Because I don't use Ubuntu on a regular basis I had to manually set that shortcut to use kgx (GNOME Console, the Termial replacement)
[15:12] <Menzador> GNOME should really rename that binary...
[15:34] <lotuspsychje> Grems: bug #2044134
[15:34] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Bug 2044134 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "do-release-upgrade fails because of broken/held ubuntu-desktop" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2044134
[15:36] <ioria> Grems, is gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-tiling-assistant correctly installed ?
[15:40] <Patrick_> does anyone else experience useless notifications in gnome about package updates and restarts?
[15:40] <Patrick_> I've been getting this stuff for years
[15:47] <Patrick_> such as gnome-software opening and telling me I have an update, which upon viewing is some package with "friendly" in the name, and it is already current so there is no update
[15:53] <Patrick_> I disabled gnome-software from autostarting by removing the .desktop file from /etc/xdg/autostart, now I'm getting a useless notification from "Ubuntu Software" (which I can hardly identify, don't know the command for this) that I had an update ready, then it shows that everything is actually updated, now it's also telling me I need to restart.
[15:53] <Patrick_> gnome-software would also frequently tell me I need to restart to finish installing updates, but it was untrue
[15:54] <Patrick_> so clearly there is some kind of conspiracy to give the user a bunch of meaningless, time wasting notifications
[15:54] <Patrick_> but why?
[15:54] <Patrick_> I doubt I'm the only person experiencing this
[16:00] <Menzador> Nice conspiracy, bro
[16:01] <Menzador> Everything is perfect and has no errors right?
[16:02] <Menzador> And instead of simply ignoring error messages you know not to be true...
[16:03] <ravage> Please take discussions to #ubuntu-discuss
[16:03] <Menzador> I mean, yeah, the way this is worded is in no way a support question
[16:03] <ph88> whats better AppImage of flatpak when i can choose both ?
[16:05] <Menzador> !best
[16:06] <Patrick_> I'm here to ask if I'm truly the only person experiencing this, or if maybe this is some kind design decision
[16:07] <ph88> Patrick_, yes i also get notifacation about package updates
[16:08] <Patrick_> that's not really what I'm asking
[16:08] <ph88> sorry :(
[16:09] <toddc> auto update    it did the update already so yes it is current yes you had a update it told you about
[16:09] <Patrick_> clearly this is a bug
[16:11] <toddc> I like the conspiracy aspect tho
[16:11] <Patrick_> 1. you have an update ready (actually you don't) 2. you need to restart (actually you don't)
[16:11] <lotuspsychje> Patrick_: you didnt mention ubuntu release, nor the package ubuntu software wants to update?
[16:11] <Patrick_> lotuspsychje: check again, I did to the extent I could
[16:12] <Patrick_> toddc: well, it was ridiculous when it was gnome-software doing this for years. Then I disable gnome-software from auto-starting and the same thing starts happening with "Ubuntu Software".
[16:14] <Patrick_> I'm currently on ubuntu 23.10, but it also happened with 23.04, and some number of releases before that, I believe
[16:14] <bluesman> can you check the memory in ubuntu ?
[16:14] <bluesman> i mean the state of it, the mean the
[16:14] <bluesman> workings ?
[16:14] <bluesman> if it´s still stable
[16:14] <bluesman> i know about a harddisk check
[16:15] <ohdienge> memory usage : free -m
[16:15] <bluesman> this is a ten year old pc
[16:15] <bluesman> not usage
[16:15] <ohdienge> memory checks from grub I think
[16:15] <bluesman> but if the memory is still in good shape ?
[16:15] <ohdienge> you might have an entry in your grub menu for that
[16:15] <bluesman> like a health check
[16:15] <bluesman> you mean terminal ?
[16:15] <toddc> Patrick_: you could remove it
[16:15] <bluesman> can you format memory ?
[16:16] <bluesman> like clean it up
[16:16] <ohdienge> now grub... the menu that shows before booting ubuntu .. where you can select kernels (and recovery mode)
[16:16] <ohdienge> now = no
[16:16] <bluesman> ahh i never knew much about it
[16:16] <bluesman> so that´s grub
[16:16] <bluesman> gtihub !
[16:16] <bluesman> ah i was thinking github
[16:16] <Patrick_> toddc: sure, I can. But I'm usually motivated to want to fix problems at the root so that it's fixed for everyone. However, I'm actually beginning to think that this attitude is futile and I need to revert to individualism.
[16:16] <ohdienge> you don't need to do formatting or cleaning. but inside grub you might have an entry to check your memory ... this is particulary useful if you experience system crashes and you want to know whether memory might be the cause
[16:17] <bluesman> well just the crt-c /v doesn´t work well anymore
[16:17] <bluesman> crtl-c / ctrl-v
[16:17] <bluesman> ctrl*
[16:17] <bluesman> copy/paste
[16:18] <bluesman> ciao
[16:18] <ohdienge> you don't need to do such memory checks unless you experience system crashes (if memory is extremely important for you such as for expensive workstations/servers than you might want to go for ECC memory which has built in error correction)
[16:18] <Patrick_> toddc: oh, and I don't know if I actually can remove the package/s. When I went to remove gnome-software, it was going to also remove other packages that I don't think I wanted to remove like gnome and gnome-core.
[16:18] <bluesman> maybe if i turn the pc off and on :)
[16:18] <bluesman> thanks !
[16:18] <bluesman> i need another coffee
[16:19] <toddc> Patrick_: did you file a bug report on it
[16:19] <ohdienge> bluesman: issues with copy/paste or not likely to be related to memory issues
[16:19] <bluesman> ok..
[16:19] <Patrick_> toddc: no, because I've had bugs go ignored
[16:19] <ohdienge> bluesman: maybe you switches keyboard layouts by accident or something ???
[16:19] <ohdienge> switches=switched
[16:19] <bluesman> not really
[16:20] <bluesman> well i changed the usb cable yesterday
[16:20] <bluesman> where tethering runs
[16:20] <Patrick_> also because I'm guessing there are thousands of other people experiencing this, so it seems it would be reported
[16:20] <ohdienge> your keyboard is connected to that cable?
[16:20] <bluesman> well keyboard is also usb
[16:20] <bluesman> has it´s own cable
[16:21] <bluesman> bbl
[16:21] <bluesman> adios
[16:21] <ohdienge> I would suggest try isolating the problem ... maybe remove all usb cables except for your keyboard and see if that helps. Next step might be to connect another keyboard and see if that helps.
[16:21] <toddc> Patrick_: Ok not much we can do on the support end then might try to check in with the project maintainers
[16:21] <ohdienge> good luck :)
[16:21] <bluesman> or a raspberry pi :)
[16:21] <bluesman> will ubuntu run on raspberry ?
[16:22] <bluesman> merci
[16:22] <Patrick_> alright, I just thought I would try to poll the people using the same/similar system as I am to see if anyone else experiences it
[16:22] <webchat98> Ubuntu runs on BananaPi too. It should run on Rpi
[16:28] <dumbledoor> given i have an already set PS1 from /etc/bashrc how do i edit it to remove the last two characters from it?
[16:29] <dumbledoor> PS1=${PS1%?} removes only the last character
[16:29] <webchat98> What is PS1? Windows PowerShell?
[16:30] <dumbledoor> lol no, the prompt
[16:36] <JanC> dumbledoor: ? matches one character, ?? matches two characters, ...
[16:37] <dumbledoor> ah thanks
[16:37] <dumbledoor> where the manual for this thing
[16:37] <dumbledoor> PS1 customization
[16:40] <JanC> the documentation for bash is available as manpage, an info doc, and as HTML; what else do you need?  :)
[16:41] <JanC> this is also not PS1-specific, it's normal bash shell parameter expansion
[16:45] <dumbledoor> alright (y)
[16:53] <arraybolt3> bluesman: Ubuntu officially supports the Raspberry Pi for both desktop and server use cases.
[16:53] <arraybolt3> oh he left
[17:18] <dumbledoor> on Ctrl + S on the browser, when the window asking for the file name appears where do I enter a custom directory path
[17:18] <dumbledoor> on gnome
[17:19] <nteodosio> dumbledoor, use Ctrl+L
[17:20] <dumbledoor> that works in files (file explorer) software
[17:20] <dumbledoor> not working for save dialog
[17:20] <Patrick_> dumbledoor: for me, in ubuntu 23.10, I can simply begin to type the file path in the pre-selected location/title input bar
[17:20] <nteodosio> dumbledoor, what does not working mean exactly?
[17:20] <Patrick_> using firefox
[17:21] <Patrick_> firefox snap, that is
[17:21] <Patrick_> (this is hell)
[17:21] <nteodosio> For me that inputs in the search bar, Patrick_, not in the path bar
[17:21] <nteodosio> Yes it is very unintuitive...
[17:22] <Patrick_> nteodosio: which version of ubuntu? which browser? what package type for the browser?
[17:22] <dumbledoor> are you guys talking about this dialog box
[17:22] <dumbledoor> https://ibb.co/tJRLkvh
[17:22] <dumbledoor> or yours is different
[17:22] <Patrick_> dumbledoor: I am talking about exactly that
[17:23] <nteodosio> Sorry, conflated open file with save file dialogs
[17:23] <nteodosio> But yes in Ctrl+S you can type the path right away as Patrick_ said.
[17:23] <dumbledoor> hmm last time i entered the path in the name section, i ended up making a directory within the selected directory, i'll try again
[17:24] <Patrick_> let us know if it works
[17:29] <dumbledoor> thanks Patrick_ and nteodosio it does work
[17:38] <JanC> dumbledoor: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide & http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ are also good sources for learning bash
[17:39] <dumbledoor> i already have it's docs offline, just didn't know that i could find info about the prompt in it's man page
[17:39] <dumbledoor> because i often confuse between the language and the shell
[17:49] <JanC> the "language" is the shell   :)
[17:54] <JeffH> Is there a way to show all packages that have been installed from a specific repository?
[17:55] <tpanarch1st> hello, anybody a dab hand with fail2ban please? I've read several tutorials and also watched a youtube video but nothing from fail2ban is getting into iptables
[18:11] <DumbLDoor> Hi All! Some issues with the last update. I have 12 upgradable packages with unmet dependencies.
[18:18] <JeffH> If I want to use 'sudo add-apt-repository' to remove a ppa, how do I find the ppa?
[18:18] <JeffH> Is it the n= when I do 'apt policy'?
[18:18] <DumbLDoor> should I package entries from remove /var/lib/dpkg/status?
[18:19] <DumbLDoor> should I "remove" package entries from remove /var/lib/dpkg/status?
[18:27] <DumbLDoor> Hello?
[18:31] <tpanarch1st> your messages are coming through DumbLDoor but i'm sorry I have no clue about the answer
[18:31] <Habbie> DumbLDoor, that file is not for editing unless you know exactly what you are doing
[19:00] <Grems> ioria: `gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-tiling-assistant` is not installed, according to `apt list`
[19:01] <ioria> Grems, you still struggling ?
[19:02] <Grems> ioria: Yes
[19:02] <ioria> Grems, sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-tiling-assistant && sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[19:03] <ioria> Grems, after that, run again 'sudo do-release-upgrade'
[19:04] <AngryTom> How can I refresh a nautilus network window? Former Ubuntu versions had an option.
[19:05] <ioria> f5
[19:06] <Grems> ioria: Seems to work. How did you figure this one out? :)
[19:06] <ioria> drinking beer
[19:09] <Grems> Makes sense that I didn't come up with the idea myself then
[19:09] <ioria> yeah ^_ù^
[19:10] <pyeverything> Hi I downloaded a folder (gdrn) from OneDrive and I get this error when extracting the zip file. I download it couple times and always same size. Not sure what's wrong https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VsXc2jzFTr/ -- error [gdrn.zip]:  start of central directory not found; zipfile corrupt
[19:11] <pyeverything> you can download it from https://mailstsinghuaeducn-my.sharepoint.com/personal/liuxy21_mails_tsinghua_edu_cn/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2Fliuxy21%5Fmails%5Ftsinghua%5Fedu%5Fcn%2FDocuments%2Fbop%5Fchallenge%5F2022%2Foutput&ga=1 and password is groupji  instructions are under  https://github.com/shanice-l/gdrnpp_bop2022 --> Model section
[19:13] <Grems> pyeverything: Tried it on a different machine? Different OS? Could the zipfile be corrupt?
[19:23] <johnfg> Hi folks.
[19:23] <johnfg> Brand new installation of desktop 22.04 (yesterday).
[19:24] <Grems> Congratulations, johnfg
[19:25] <johnfg> For some reason, although I have an ip from my wifi connection, and an ip from openvpn, I'm not able to ping to or from.
[19:25] <Grems> What command are you running?
[19:29] <johnfg> ssh, scp, ping
[19:31] <johnfg> I think I got it.  I had a bit of a misconfiguration of client.conf for openvpn.
[19:32] <Grems> johnfg: Care to share? :)
[19:38] <johnfg> Grems: sure!  I hadn't uncommented comp-lzo (which is on my server), and I also needed to make tls-auth and cipher x to match.
[19:39] <johnfg> So all seems good.
[19:45] <DumbLDoor> @Habbie - I edited that file - removed all broken package description block, did install fix broken package, update && upgrade... all  normal now.
[19:45] <DumbLDoor> Goodbye!!
[19:45] <Habbie> good luck
[19:46] <DumbLDoor> All done now, ty Habbie!
[19:46] <DumbLDoor> the entries are back in the file post fixing
[19:56] <Teek> New to Linux, first day playing with it.  Fresh install of Ubuntu 23.10 and for some reason I keep hitting an issue where I can't open a terminal or the Files app.  Click and nothing at all happens.  I can reboot the machine to fix temporarily, but it keeps happening.  Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?
[19:59] <tomreyn> Teek: hmm, that's special. try keeping a copy of journalctl -f running in a terminal emulator and reproduce the issue, then see what was logged at the time
[19:59] <pyeverything> Grems:  I don't have access to other machine or os. I have reported it to git repo owners
[19:59] <arraybolt3> When it happens, try switching to a TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F3, then run `journalctl -n100` to see the last 100 lines of your journal log. That might tell you something.
[19:59] <arraybolt3> tomreyn's idea also should work
[20:00] <tomreyn> the TTY may better better if you need to reproduce it with the terminal window not opening, though
[20:03] <Teek> Okay, rebooted, opened terminal, started the journalctl -f and reproduced.  Couple of things jumping out as potential causes but at least this gives me some direction.  One message about "window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0xa00004" and then a highlighted message about "Meta.Rectangle
[20:03] <Teek> is deprecated, use Mtk.Rectangle instead" and finally the error that I think might be the root cause, "identity 'unix-group:admin' is not valid, ignoring: no UNIX group with name admin: No such file or directory"
[20:04] <Teek> Would be happy to copy the full log if someone wanted to peep, but at least I can search each of those errors so I'm further along than I was before.  Thanks tomreyn and arraybolt3 for the shove in the right direction!
[20:09] <arraybolt3> Teek: That can be done easily, just run something like `journalctl -n 1000 | nc termbin.com 9999` and send the link that spits out.
[20:10] <arraybolt3> termbin is a pastebin that can be used from the command line, it's really handy.
[20:54] <mBodoMi> heyyo
[22:00] <bray90820> So on ubuntu 22.04 every time I restart my computer a docker0 bridge conenction is created but as far as I knwo docker is no longer installed
[22:18] <Guest5> An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
[22:18] <Guest5> If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
[22:18] <Guest5> command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. If
[22:18] <Guest5> you want to investigate this yourself the log files in
[22:18] <Guest5> '/var/log/dist-upgrade' will contain details about the upgrade.
[22:18] <Guest5> Specifically, look at 'main.log' and 'apt.log'.
[22:22] <Guest5> help
[22:31] <khazakar> It says what to do - report and check yourself
