| joe123 | leftyfb: I'm back | 00:02 |
| leftyfb | joe123: I assume all is well now? | 00:04 |
| joe123 | leftyfb: No. :-( The folders are still showing. I think it would be quicker to reinstall Ubuntu. But...what can you guess that I did to cause this, so I don't repeat whatever I did. I'm using an old laptop and I wanted to make use of it using Ubuntu and the things that I did after installing is install an app to read pdfs and put the dock at the bottom of the screen | 00:07 |
| joe123 | leftyfb: of course I did have to install HexChat to come here to ask the question | 00:09 |
| leftyfb | joe123: as your user, run: cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | nc termbin.com 9999 # do not add anything to the command including sudo. Please paste the resulting URL here | 00:09 |
| joe123 | leftyfb: ok | 00:10 |
| joe123 | https://termbin.com/2cxb | 00:11 |
| leftyfb | joe123: I don't know how but you're still not modifying the correct file | 00:11 |
| leftyfb | joe123: you need to edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and change XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/" to XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" | 00:12 |
| joe123 | leftyfb: ok. I'll give that a whirl | 00:12 |
| joe123 | leftyfb: I assume I have to logout and back in for it to take effect | 00:15 |
| joe123 | leftyfb: I restarted the computer and tried toggling the Desktop Show Personal Folder, same same | 00:21 |

| en1gma | its getting so close to 24.04 release date im just not sure how to do the fresh install. if i need 22.04.3 lts installed first then to upgrade to it or just do a fresh install of 24.04. maybe i should ask in ubuntu-next | 03:51 |
| rbox | close? | 03:51 |
| rbox | its not even 2024 | 03:51 |

| rhoks | Hi there. I have Woeusb that I think I installed in 2020 on Ubuntu 18.04 and its not doing a good job of creating a bootable win11 usb now on my (same machine) Ubuntu 20.04. How do I uninstall it, so that I can reinstall it using a new guide? (Its not on the software center as I probably used the terminal to install it with the help of an older guide). | 16:39 |
| rhoks | Apparently I have WoeUSB 3.3.1-1-g7171bff and when I google that version, only one french forum website comes up! Haha I have no idea how I ended up with this version, must be from an old deleted guide from another website or something. | 16:44 |
| === Guest0 is now known as spionkop | ||
| ioria | rhoks, dpkg -l | grep woeusb | 16:57 |
| rhoks | ioria, ii woeusb 3.3.1-1-g7171bff amd64 Bootable Windows installation/PE USB storage creator | 17:00 |
| ioria | rhoks, if you want to remove it, just sudo apt purge <pkg>, but the snap ver available (woe-usb) is from 2019 | 17:01 |
| rhoks | ioria, excellent, thanks. I will remove it and use the latest guide on installing it from a few months ago. The latest version of the tool itself is from 2021 from what I gathered so far. But it came up as the top search results on Google when I searched for tools to create a bootable Windows 11 usb. | 17:02 |
| ioria | rhoks, yeah | 17:03 |
| rhoks | ioria, I remember YEARS ago UNEbootin or whatever was the top recommended tool on Ubuntu to make bootable Windows usb drives.. What happened to it? | 17:05 |
| === Guest92 is now known as pythonboy | ||
| ioria | rhoks, it still exists , but not for win | 17:05 |
| rhoks | ioria, ouch. Why did they remove support for win :( | 17:06 |
| ioria | rhoks, idk if they remove the support, i know that it does not work very well | 17:06 |

| arkanoid | hello | 17:40 |
| arkanoid | I was playing minecraft when suddenly black screen (terminal buffer) and SQUASHFS error: Failed to read block 0x1d74357: -5 | 17:42 |
| arkanoid | this also happened two days ago, never happened before | 17:42 |
| leftyfb | I would run memory and storage tests | 17:42 |
| arkanoid | I may assume something is going KO hardware side, but what is SQUASHFS in the context of a running system? | 17:43 |
| arkanoid | leftyfb: I know how to test memory, but not how to test storage | 17:45 |
| arkanoid | would you suggest me a valid tool for storage testing? | 17:45 |
| leftyfb | I'm gussing you're running minecraft from snap, which runs it's packages from images based on the squashfs filesystem. It could be pulling this image from memory (potentially bad memory) or reading it from the disk (potentially bad storage device) | 17:45 |
| leftyfb | !smart | arkanoid | 17:45 |
| ubottu | arkanoid: smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 17:45 |
| leftyfb | arkanoid: you can also take a look at "sudo dmesg -T" for any I/O or ATA errors | 17:46 |
| leftyfb | that would tell you there's definitely issues with your storage | 17:46 |
| arkanoid | I don't see any I/O error in dmesg | 17:50 |
| arkanoid | I'm also doing some stress test reading files | 17:51 |
| arkanoid | but what puzzles me is why SQUASHFS | 17:52 |
| leftyfb | do you have minecraft installed via snap? | 17:52 |
| leftyfb | if so, that's why you're seeing that. You can try to remove and reinstall, but if the package got corrupted, the reason why would concern me more than the error | 17:53 |

| rhoks | Can someone please help me troubleshoot my touchpad not working. It used to stop working after I disable it from the keyboard shortcut keys on 18.04 and then I used to uninstall and reinstall the drivers or something. I've upgraded to 20.04 a few months ago and it never worked since, but now I need to use my external mouse for a desktop pc. Soo yeah got to get the touchpad working somehow on this laptop again. | 18:48 |

| MrMobius | what does ubuntu use to keep track of the names of other computers on the network? ie I can do "ping ubuntu-computer" rather than "ping 192.x.x.x" Is it ssdp? | 21:20 |
| rbox | its not keeping track of anything... | 21:22 |
| MrMobius | rbox: ok. what is the name of the mechanism that lets this work automatically on my network? | 21:23 |
| rbox | what is 'ubuntu-computer' is that literally what you are typing? | 21:23 |
| ecapi | he prolly means his hostname | 21:23 |
| MrMobius | no, I'm typing "ping ubuntu-compile.local" | 21:23 |
| MrMobius | yes, ubuntu-compile is the hostname | 21:23 |
| rbox | .local is mdns | 21:25 |

| xjd15 | I'm trying to run tftpd-hpa I have followed all the setup instructions I could find online (they are all most all the same), however I keep getting the error tftpd: write: Operation not permitted. The owner and group of all the files in the tftp directory have been set to nobody:nogroup and nobody is the name of the tftp user. | 22:04 |
| xjd15 | I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 | 22:05 |
| rbox | i alwasy liked atftpd | 22:07 |
| rbox | i also like tftpy_server.py... that one is stupid simple | 22:08 |
| nsaunders | how do I test this command openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:25 -starttls smtp with gmail? Should that be port 25? | 22:17 |
| rbox | what do you mean test it with gmail? | 22:18 |
| nsaunders | and test my certificates at the same time. Just looking to use postfix with gmail. | 22:18 |
| rbox | huh? | 22:18 |
| nsaunders | test with gmail | 22:19 |
| rbox | how is connecting to gmail's smtp port gonna test your certificate? | 22:19 |
| nsaunders | oh, I thought I might be able to do a EHLO test or something | 22:19 |
| nsaunders | or send a test e-mail through gmail with telnet or some other tool? | 22:20 |
| rbox | to test what | 22:20 |
| nsaunders | to test that postfix can send to gmail | 22:26 |
| Habbie | that sounds like something to test with postfix, not with telnet or openssl s_client | 22:27 |
| Habbie | also, imap.gmail.com sounds like the wrong machine for that test if you really wanted to do it by hand | 22:28 |
| rbox | what does postfix sending gmail have to do with openssl s_client? | 22:28 |
| rbox | and yeah, thats a good point too... what does imap have tod o with smtp | 22:28 |
| nsaunders | well, there my ignorance is on display | 22:28 |
| Habbie | there's also an ##email channel on this network, by the way | 22:29 |
| Habbie | it might be a better place for your questions | 22:29 |
