[00:58] <roberto2> hi running ubuntu server 22.04.03 headless I get the "cloud-init" messages upon log in as here https://imgur.com/RYCrtUM just wondering if I can disable or what import they have thank you in advance
[00:59] <roberto2> sorry about the bad quality
[01:00] <rbox> why do you have to disable it
[01:01] <roberto2> I don't know that I do - I looked online to try to understand why I get the messages. So I'm confused about how to interpret them and what they mean.
[01:03] <rbox> it just says its running cloud init
[01:05] <roberto2> right... I read this which wasn't helpful because it devolved into an argument https://askubuntu.com/questions/539277/how-to-get-rid-of-cloud-init
[01:06] <roberto2> I'm assuming I don't use this service
[01:06] <rbox> [06:00:25 PM] <rbox> why do you have to disable it
[01:35] <itu> nmcli device wifi list    # it's only routers/modem what i will see here?
[01:35] <rbox> you'll see any thing broadcasting an SSID
[01:36] <ecapi> rbox, have you detected rasculs ssid?
[01:36] <itu> so ubuntu-laptop does not broadcast a SSID?
[01:37] <rbox> if you enable access point mode it will
[01:39] <itu> but i dont want that
[01:39] <rbox> so dont eanble it
[01:48] <imbezol> how do i disable snap notifications? or at least change the interval?
[01:48] <imbezol> when you have 20 snap installed it's just constant notifications all the time
[01:48] <imbezol> plus even if i clear them, the same ones come back many times per day
[02:45] <MrMobius> if I mount a .img file and use it as a directory but my computer loses power, is there a chance the .img file will be corrupted or will it behave like a normal directory?
[02:46] <rbox> yes
[02:46] <rbox> no differnet htan if it was just a regular partition on a hard drive
[02:48] <MrMobius> rbox: im thinking about using it to store files in that i have open in vim for example but the laptop battery dies. i still have my .swp files in the worst case. is there any extra danger having the files in the .img vs a regular directory?
[02:49] <rbox> theres no differnece
[02:49] <rbox> both can get corrupt
[03:44] <JanC> well, with 2 filesystem layers the risk ~doubles...
[03:45] <rbox> two shea

[04:41] <mybalzitch> sudo test
[04:45] <sarnold> mmm, sandwich
[05:07] <en1gma> ive only been using ubuntu as a live image "try ubuntu" and it works good and everything but one thing really bothers me and its display resolution is 4k@30hz and my tv and gpu 100% for sure do 4k@60hz. is there an easy fix for this?
[05:09] <en1gma> in 1920x1080@120hz its butt smooth but i have to scale down to make everything not look big. resize the taskbar, make desktop icons tiny, make my terminal fond custom to small, make browser smaller then 100% and so on and so on
[05:09] <en1gma> and it still dont fix everything and thats ever boot
[05:16] <sarnold> two thoughts (a) is that with the same cable, video card, etc? 4k@60hz doesn't just happen, quite a lot of devices can't do that, quite a lot of cables can't do that
[05:16] <Bashing-om> en1gma: See if this helps: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution <- If your DE is X11.
[05:16] <sarnold> (b) maybe there's better drivers available in the installed system but not in the live system. maybe. i've heard of this being a thing.
[05:23] <en1gma> yea it works fine if i install to storage device and not a live system
[05:23] <sarnold> yay
[05:23] <sarnold> that's not very pleasing if you just wanted the live system
[05:23] <sarnold> but 30hz is just brutal
[05:24] <en1gma> this is only on a live "try ubuntu" 22.04, 23.10 and 24.04 and all the dailys do the same thing. i was wondering if this is just an ubuntu thing or what
[05:24] <en1gma> yea mouse is very bad
[05:24] <sarnold> try running ubuntu-drivers and see if it gives any advice
[05:24] <en1gma> at 120hz its like butter smooth in 1080p
[05:25] <soloslinger> hawt
[05:25] <sarnold> oooooo i've never seen 120hz :(
[05:25] <en1gma> yea its nice
[05:25] <en1gma> 4k@60hz would be great. thats usually what at with windows 11 and even when i install ubuntu to a storage device
[05:25] <sarnold> back in the day we could do 1600x1200@85hz and that felt pretty fantastic but then somehow that all went away when people started thinking 1080 was "high def"
[05:26] <en1gma> this live boot is killing me
[05:26] <en1gma> true
[05:26] <sarnold> 4k@60is what I've got on my laptop to an external monitor; I went through two USB-C hubs and then finally found a docking station that works -- but that stupid thing can't survive a power cut, I have to reboot my laptop after that :(
[05:27] <sarnold> 4k@60hz is nice enough but -- see above about "back in the day" -- my eyes aren't up to the task like they used to be. sigh.
[05:28] <en1gma> i usually scale up 4k@60hz to 125% or even 150%
[05:28] <en1gma> it looks great but scaling down 1080p so it dont look big messes with the fonts. look pretty bad
[05:28] <sarnold> I wish i had enough desktop installed to try that :) I just zoom my firefox and set a larger font in urxvt. it's a bit weird.
[05:29] <en1gma> im about ready to try another live distro just to see if it does that on their distros too
[05:29] <en1gma> i dont think it does it on kali-linux
[05:29] <en1gma> it usually uses older stuff though
[05:29] <sarnold> heh yeah I could imagine them really focusing on the live-distro use in a way that we don't
[05:30] <en1gma> true true
[05:30] <en1gma> thats why i wont compare that one really
[05:30] <soloslinger> en1gma: Not sure Kali Linux concerns itself with 4k resolutions and refresh rates.
[05:30] <en1gma> maybe ill just try a different flavor of ubuntu but i bet it does it too
[05:32] <sarnold> yeah that's also worth a shot
[05:32] <soloslinger> The problem with "live-distros" is they're trying to be all things to everyone.   It's hard to ask/expect that they would out-of-the-box also be tailored to your specific system.
[05:32] <en1gma> 4k@60hz is pretty much the standard though not 4k@30hz
[05:33] <en1gma> that sounds like major error
[05:33] <en1gma> :)
[05:33] <sarnold> it's twice the bandwidth, it really is a stretch for a lot of devices / drivers
[05:34] <en1gma> anything that does 4k is at 60hz
[05:34] <en1gma> ive never seen a 4k@30hz spec ever
[05:34] <sarnold> i've got a pile of usb c hubs that would disagree ;)
[05:34] <sarnold> (well, if two is a pile)
[05:34] <en1gma> well those things yes but from a video card hdmi output straight to tv
[05:35] <soloslinger> Ehh.  Not all HDMI cables are created equal.  The video card still has to probe the display's capabilities and compatibilities.
[05:36] <en1gma> just got my a Steam Deck / Valve Deck hub that does 4k@60hz and has lan port and 3 usb 3.0 ports. all for $18 off amazon with 2 day delivery. works great on my phone
[05:36] <sarnold> and since tv is mostly 30 or 29.97 fps or something, a bunch of cheaper cables can do that and no more
[05:36] <sarnold> en1gma: ooooooo
[05:36] <en1gma> yea its the same cable that im using now in windows 11 at 4k@60hz
[05:37] <en1gma> i just put the live ubuntu usb stick and boot to that instead of off my m.2 like right now
[05:37] <soloslinger> Still different drivers negotiating with the display.
[05:37] <en1gma> yea i wonder if i can get X11 or whatever it is to reload with the correct info without restarting computer
[05:38] <en1gma> a nice one liner command would be great
[05:38] <en1gma> i think i can log out and back in if need be just cant restart without losing all my settings
[05:50] <en1gma> i think i going to try a kubuntu 24.04 daily and see what happens than trouble shoot from there for ubuntu
[05:50] <en1gma> if kubuntu can do it i can track it down from there
[05:51] <en1gma> maybe it has something to do with uefi csm disabled and secureboot enabled
[06:27] <en1gma> well... kubuntu and mate are also limited to 4k@30hz
[06:27] <en1gma> im going to try a debian live testing daily here in a minute
[06:27] <en1gma> just trying to see where this originates. debian probably
[06:31] <Nicol> Hi, I Configure the UBUNTU 22.04.3 LTS system to require a password for authentication upon booting into single-user and maintenance modes, but when I tried to login using username and password it generate error: access denied. Failed to boot both default and fallback entries. press any key to continue
[06:32] <matsaman> Nicol: what'd you do exactly?
[06:35] <Nicol> matsaman : Generate an encrypted (grub) password for root with the following command:grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2
[06:37] <matsaman> Nicol: did you put 'password_pbkdf2' stuffo into your grub config?
[06:39] <Nicol> matsaman : here is the details : Configure the system to require a password for authentication upon booting into single-user and maintenance modes.
[06:39] <Nicol> Generate an encrypted (grub) password for root with the following command:
[06:39] <Nicol>  grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2

[06:44] <Nicol> matsaman : I was perform this task login as root and stated on the file "/etc/grub.d/40_custom"
[06:50] <Nicol>  I was perform this task login as root and stated on the file "/etc/grub.d/40_custom"
[06:54] <en1gma> well the debian live testing does do 4k@60hz but dont see my intel wifi card upon boot. i though ubuntu was based off debian... ubuntu why cant i have 4k@60hz when debian lets me?
[07:01] <Nicol> can someone help  to rest encrypted (grub) password for root on ubuntu 22.04?
[07:23] <am_> Hi all. How to setup VPN-server on Ubuntu? Which solution is the best?

[07:31] <am_> Thanks!
[10:32] <m1dnight> I have a synology that I mount via samba to my ubuntu box. When I rsync a file, rsync reports its done transferring pretty fast, but then it hangs for a few minutes. When I reboot (because I thought it was stuck or something) I noticed that systemd hangs on shutdown on an sd-sync task. So when I try to run sync after rsync reports it's done transferring but hangs, I notice that the sync command
[10:32] <m1dnight> also hangs. When it completes, rsync also completes.
[10:32] <m1dnight> I'm trying to figure out what is causing this, but it's really freakin annoying to google on "sync" :p
[10:33] <m1dnight> Anyone who can point me in the right direction on this?
[10:39] <m1dnight> Hrm, cache=none yields 10MB/s :')
[11:18] <jailbreak> Hi all
[11:43] <harmke> I want to add a printer, HP LaserJet M507, but it can't find the right driver apparently. It works under Windows, should work on Linux
[11:50] <harmke> dammit who is making those guis to add a printer? Failed, without any error code
[11:54] <yes-ubuntu> Hey! I had my laptop on airplane mode (no wifi, etc) and by morning, I noticed a popup with Software Updater showing available updates. Is this normal?
[12:09] <tomreyn> yes-ubuntu: that's entirely possible if it had already downloaded those updates beforehand.
[12:11] <tomreyn> harmke: personally, i prefer http://localhost:631/admin for printer configuration
[12:11] <yes-ubuntu> tomreyn: if that is the case, how come I was not shown the available updates earlier? I mean... not needing to wait till morning?
[12:11] <tomreyn> harmke: you'd login with your username + password
[12:12] <tomreyn> yes-ubuntu: i'm not sure how quickly the updater GUI shows after the data has been downloaded. maybe it doesn't show immediately if it's not security updates
[12:17] <yes-ubuntu> tomreyn: here is a screenshot of the window https://pasteboard.co/zqfrqumqAhQt.png
[12:20] <tomreyn> so this includes security updates. i would assume this prompt to show shortly after such information was retrieved. then. i don't know why this was not the case for you, as you seem to say.
[12:21] <tomreyn> maybe the system wasn't really offline when it rebooted?
[12:21] <pickanick> m1dnight : I would guess you are in the right direction, rsync is passing it to something buffering the data and writing it out slowly.
[12:24] <m1dnight> I figured it out :') It turns out the link between my server and the NAS was only 100mbps
[12:24] <m1dnight> I wouldve sworn it was gigabit, but here we are
[12:24] <m1dnight> at least i learned about the cache thing, didnt know about that
[12:25] <pickanick> sometimes there are buffers between buffers
[12:27] <pickanick> different speeds different sizes filling up with different tempos
[12:29] <m1dnight> hrm, just opened up my cloudkey to check something else and it appears to be signaled as gigabit. but perhaps that's because there is an unmanaged switch between it that's gbit
[12:30] <yes-ubuntu> tomreyn: there was no reboot involved.. My laptop was / is on for couple of days?
[12:31] <pickanick> yes-ubuntu if you're not sure,  "uptime" remembers
[12:31] <tomreyn> oh, somehow i though you had rebooted in the morning. but you didn't say that at all.
[12:31] <tomreyn> *thought
[12:32] <yes-ubuntu> pickanick: I am sure! :D (uptime reports 2+ days ...)
[12:43] <yes-ubuntu> out of curiosity... anyone believes that C or C++ language will be phased out at some point? Questioning, since it seeps that Python and Ruby and other languages are getting popular, not only among newcomers, but in research projects, etc... will Ubuntu be written in Python at one point and not in C ?
[12:45] <jailbreak> !offtopic | yes-ubuntu
[12:48] <jailbreak> yes-ubuntu: there's also #ubuntu-discuss too.
[13:06] <ueberall> Hi. Can someone explain to me how it's possible that this upstream QEMU (s)build run worked for aarch64/arm64 despite the fact that the local rebuild using sbuild attempt fails due to "unsat-dependency: gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu:arm64" (looking at packages.ubuntu.com, said package really does not exist for that architecture) --> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/1:8.1.3+ds-1ubuntu2/+build/27051755 ?
[13:06] <ueberall>  (If you just remove this dependency (and others), everything works fine, so IMHO it's a problem with the upstream dependency definition.)
[13:43] <masber> how is the window manager started? I have installed hyprland in wayland on ubuntu 23.10, I chose hyprland in the login screen and it runs fine, I am trying to understand how it starts, I can't find a systemd unit file for hyprland in my system, maybe I am looking in the wrong place or window manager starts outside systemd?
[13:52] <ioria> masber, what yoou have in /usr/share/wayland-session ?
[14:01] <masber> ✦ ❯ ls  /usr/share/wayland-sessions/
[14:01] <masber> ubuntu.desktop  ubuntu-wayland.desktop
[14:03] <ioria> masber, don't you have a hyprland.desktop file ?
[14:07] <masber> nop
[14:07] <masber> at least not in that folder
[14:16] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[17:35] <cahoots_> hi, i'm getting consistently lower wifi upload speeds (~150mbps) on my ubuntu desktop than on my macbook (~300mbps). the specs for the desktop mobo say it uses a intel cnvi 2x2 802.11ac wireless. any ideas what to do here?
[17:38] <jeremy31> cahoots_: in terminal> echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8"|sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlopt.conf && sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
[17:38] <jeremy31> then reboot
[17:39] <cahoots_> what does that do
[17:42] <jeremy31> cahoots_: It enables aggressive TX in the wifi driver and disables wifi power management
[17:53] <cahoots_> jeremy31, that last sed command was intended for "/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf"?
[17:58] <cahoots> jeremy31, so i tried it, no dice
[17:59] <jeremy31> cahoots: Does iwconfig show power management off?
[17:59] <cahoots> jeremy31, yes
[18:00] <jeremy31> cahoots Is the wifi router using TKIP encryption?
[18:00] <cahoots> https://justpaste.it/2epst
[18:02] <jeremy31> cahoots: Can you run the 2 commands at https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/a2bee9856d8c13f42f1835bc31bf9480 in terminal and post the termbin URL after the second command is done?
[18:05] <cahoots> huh, that's pretty neat. jeremy31, https://termbin.com/xrtm
[18:06] <cahoots> i will say i don't see tkip in `sudo iwlist scan`
[18:08] <Kadigan> Does this affect Ubuntu as well? => https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20231205122122.dfhhoaswsfscuhc3@quack3/
[18:09] <Kadigan> (I'm still not clear if the kernels pick and choose between distros, nobody explained this to me and I seem to have failed to ask)
[18:11] <jeremy31> cahoots: I don't know why it isn't faster
[18:14] <cahoots> oh, is tkip slow?
[18:14] <jeremy31> cahoots: It is not recommended
[21:10] <Yakov> I want to open my desktop file and script from kitty, problem in exec=line, how to fix it? i've tried bash and launch, no effect https://justpaste.it/3okjp
