webchat64Could anyone give pointers on recovering functionality after an Ubuntu install running on ZFS ran out of disk space?

ix__I've installed apache and I'm running some website, I can see it on my network with 192.168... but I can't view it from outsite my network, even if I've done port forwarding for port 80 and 443, I can also access the website by entering a strange IP address that my router seemed to have, something starting with 100, have no idea what that is, but it only worked after the port forwarding10:09
Habbie100.64 is the CGN range10:11
Habbieif your router has an IP in that range, it means the actual external IP is likely shared between multiple customers10:11

SteelRoseHi all! Every now and then I use phpMyAdmin. The problem I have is that I haven't found to install it in an non-interactive way.10:21
SteelRosewhenever I run "apt install phpmyadmin" I must go through some manual steps (see screenshots here https://www.arubacloud.com/tutorial/how-to-install-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-20-04.aspx)10:21
SteelRoseis there any way to avoid that? THanks!10:21

elias_aFor some reason my Ubuntu 23.10 opens Applications when clicking Settings icon. Has anyone else experienced something like this. Might be an internationalization bug as I am using in Finnish.12:00
elias_aMight as well test in English.12:00
elias_aUhh... if I start gnome-control-center (in Finnish version) from CLI, it starts Applications program (whatever it's called in English). :O12:04
jshmlrWhere can I learn more about how and why certain packages are held back from updates?12:35
ravage!phasedupdates | jshmlr the most common reason:12:36
ubottujshmlr the most common reason:: Since Ubuntu 21.04, APT may hold back some updates on some systems while they are being phased in. This is called "phased updates". See https://ubottu.com/y/phased and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PhasedUpdates for more info.12:36

imiis it safe to apt uprge atop?13:09
pavlosimi: sure if you dont use it13:10
elias_aNo - not an internationalization problem. Behaviour is the same even with en-GB locale: command gnome-control-center opens Apps, not Settings as expected. What the heck is going on here... :O13:11
elias_aThere are other things that are broken after upgrading to 23.10. For some reason Ubuntu thinks my USB automotive com board is a printer and tries to install it as printer.13:15

elias_aI am sure USB device ID 103a:f008 belongs to Actia automotive USB boards and is unique. It also has worked with previous versions.13:18
BluesKajHi all13:38
elias_aI checked both 1) launching gnome-control-center and 2) the behaviour of the USB automotive control board is normal when running 23.10 from live ISO.13:49
hwpplayer1I learned how to configure the zram13:50
hwpplayer1My friend told me that I can pass %400 percent for 8GB RAM to get 32 GB RAM13:51
hwpplayer1Thanks all13:51
ograelias_a, have you tried to put a sheet of paper into your automotive board ? perhaps 23.10 unlocked a secret feature 😄13:54
TeridonI'm running into issue after I patched an Ubuntu 22.04 system https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/724678/why-does-grub-fail-to-auto-boot-when-no-keyboard-is-connected .  I've worked around it in the past by setting the grub timeout to 0, but that makes it impossible to get into grub if I need to13:54
CosmicDJhwpplayer1: I'm not quite sure you can compress 32G virtual RAM into 8G hardware RAM...13:55
hwpplayer1CosmicDJ: But it seems working13:56
arraybolt3CosmicDJ: Depending on the data stored in RAM, true, but sometimes that might be plausible.13:56
arraybolt3(that 32GB would fit in 8GB after compression)13:56
arraybolt3Realisticly I'd expect more like 24GB or so, plus things *will* slow down as you approach the capacity of RAM13:57
hwpplayer1Thanks13:57
arraybolt3also hwpplayer1 you may want to increase your system's swappiness so that it starts compressing RAM sooner.13:57
arraybolt3Otherwise you may experience issues when your physical RAM fills up *before* compression and your system starts compressing stuff to stay afloat.13:57
jscript is   https://github.com/HolyBlackCat/quasi-msys2   recommended for cross compiling to windows on ubuntu ?13:57
hwpplayer1My friend told me that your CPU will work more and more and you will see some perfomance slowing13:58
ograyou surely will13:58
arraybolt3jscript: Generally anything from an arbitrary repo on GitHub is *not* recommended on Ubuntu per se. It might work, but you usually want to get stuff from the official archives.13:58
ograwith such a high compression rate this is unavoidable13:58
jscripthow do i install a msys2 environment on ubuntu13:59
arraybolt3jscript: It doesn't look like any form of MSYS2 is in the Ubuntu repos (at least not on 22.04 LTS). So while there may be ways of installing it, none of them are going to be supported here most likely since we can't guarantee that any of those other ways will work, nor do we have experience using them.14:00
arraybolt3mingw is in the official repos though.14:00
arraybolt3I don't know enough about Windows cross-compilation to know if that will do what you need, but I know it's a tool oftentimes used for that sort of thing14:00

Paristry ifconfig see if your ethernet and wireless devices are recognised. iwconfig, or the ip command16:27

webchat12hi, how can i remove the login credentials on a client of a smb connection?17:07
wadHi folks. I'd like to do stuff like `cat foo | xclip`, then press ALT-TAB to get to a different app, and press CTRL-C to paste. But the contents aren't there. If I press the middle-mouse button, they paste, but I don't want to reach for the mouse again. Thoughts?17:07
PeGaSuSwad: CTRL-C is to copy.. usually it's CTRL-V to paste17:21
wadOh yeah, typo.17:21
wadCTRL-V to paste what I'd copied via the `xclip` command in the terminal, is what I'd like to get working.17:21
webchat12is the ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring the file where the smb passwords are stored?17:23
PeGaSuSit should be available with CTRL-V for UI text editors and CTRL-SHIFT-V for terminal17:23
PeGaSuSthat's rather weird17:23
PeGaSuSwad: what about `cat foo | xclip -sel clip`?17:27
* wad tries17:27

Guest63Hey, Ubuntu 23.10 w/Gnome-45.1 update here. And the Wacom support is completely hosed. I see there's a ticket in Gnome support for this.20:25

EickmeyerGuest63: I'd almost count on it, but patience will be required. All stable release updates take at least one week.20:35

ubottuStable Release Update information is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates20:36
EickmeyerGuest63: Actually, as I see it, the milestone for that is GNOME 46, so it might not get into Ubuntu 23.10. Might have to wait for 24.04 which will have GNOME 46.20:38
Guest63Lot of people can't do basic work with their computers20:46
JanCit might get backported20:47
Guest63Alrighty then.20:48
Guest63Please don't take this as a personal attack directed at you. But pretty much every content creator is screwed here and there's no public way to find out before installing.20:48
JanCGuest63: can you install 22.04 (latest LTS) instead?20:54
JanCalso, make sure there is an Ubuntu bug in launchpad also20:54

enigma9o7a simple example is conky.  i had it set for font size 8 before, and it was fine, but after nouveau its tiny, so i had to set it to 11 to be about the same as before22:50

cryptonectorI've a laptop with an OEM install of Ubuntu 22.04, I've installed Ubuntu 22.04 w/ ZFS root on an external drive, but some things (like wifi) don't work on the ZFS install -- what do I have to do to install OEM drivers and such from the original install?23:25
cryptonectorI installed all pkgs on the ZFS rpool that I could that are also on the original; there's a few that apt can't find, even though I have the same /etc/apt/sources.list -- where would I find those?23:26
cryptonectorthe dmesg looks surprisingly different between the two23:45
guiverccryptonector, LTS releases have kernel stack choices; the install media dictates the default; Server use GA, Desktop defaults HWE & flavors vary on media (original & .1 use GA, HWE for .2 & later).  that difference (inc. kernel modules used) is just package changes on install media23:46
cryptonectoroof, do I have to redo my zfs install?  (I didn't do it from install media but from the OEM ubuntu install)23:47
guivercyou can change post-install easily as per docs (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack etc) & even have multiple stacks installed (though some closed-source blogs; nvidia etc) can prevent that23:47
cryptonectorty!@23:48
guivercs/blogs/blobs ^23:48
guiverc(in docs it'll tell you to install other stack & test it out before removing... if you don't do the remove step you'll naturually have multiple stacks installed; both will upgrade etc meaning slighly more bandwidth on updates, disk where you select at boot which you'll use)23:49
cryptonectorthat's out of date (xserver-xorg-hwe-22.04 doesn't exist) but let's see if I can get any of it to go23:55
