[02:42] <ecapi> these nerds wont tolerate anything but support questions
[02:43] <leftyfb> ecapi: knock it off
[02:43] <roflsaur> i'm confused? is he being sarcastic?
[02:44] <leftyfb> roflsaur: ignore ecapi. It's just a troll. Though this is a support channel. If you'd like to just chat, you are welcome to /join #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss
[03:12] <amosbird-> Hello! I've put "* - memlock unlimited" in /etc/security/limits.conf and even reboot my system and login. However, ulimit -l still shows 32914304 not unlimited. How can I fix this?
[03:41] <NiceNickName> hey, I installed ubuntu 22.04, then upgraded it to 23.10. the system not respecting (not working) ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf. the same config is working without any problem in other distributions. is ubuntu blocking something?
[04:14] <morgan-u2> 222.04 every time chrome dies, there's an update waiting behind. I think there is a relation. They system doesnt play nice with updates... "somehow"
[04:23] <webchat39> Hello, I have an computer image running Ubuntu Server (with Network Manager and LXDE added) which runs fine on a variety of hardware.  Recently we deployed it on some Dell Optiplex 3000 Thin Clients, which have the Realtek RTL8111HSD ethernet chip.  We're getting the problem where ethernet will stop working after a few minutes.  From google
[04:23] <webchat39> searches it seems like this is a common issue with the Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 driver that it uses.  From solutions offered on the net, I've tried switching to the proprietary driver from the Realtek site, but that hasn't helped.  I've also tried the 8168 dkms from the repos.  Strangely enough, we use an ubuntu based Clonezilla to image the PC
[04:23] <webchat39> over the network, and it seems fine running on ethernet.   How do I go about troubleshooting this?  Any help much appreciated, thanks.
[04:25] <rbox> what version of the kernel is that using
[04:25] <rbox> what driver is it using
[04:29] <webchat39> Thanks.  I don't have access to the device right now, but the driver is "r8169" from lshw -C network.
[04:29] <webchat39> "RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller"
[04:30] <webchat39> The kernel is whichever comes with Ubuntu Server 22.04.3, latest update.
[04:36] <rbox> the driver when its working
[04:36] <webchat39> Oh, you mean on Clonezilla?  I'll need to check.
[04:36] <rbox> and the kernel
[04:36] <webchat39> Assuming I find out (and it's a different one), what is the process to change the kernel/driver to that version?
[04:37] <webchat39> Can I downgrade to an older kernel?
[04:37] <rbox> that depends what is differnet
[04:38] <ecapi> rbox, rascul is different
[04:39] <webchat39> Do the drivers in the kernel have their own version numbers?  How do I display the version number of the ethernet driver?  Or are they purely identified by driver + kernel version?
[04:40] <rbox> no
[04:40] <rbox> its just the kernel
[04:41] <webchat39> ok, looks like I have to come back when I have access to the device.  Any other information that would be good for me to prepare beforehand?
[04:46] <ecapi> dont take wooden nickels
[05:47] <Kartagis> hi. I blew /etc/sudoers therefore I can't use sudo. how can I fix it? by logging in as root?
[05:47] <Kartagis> in my defense, sudo visudo shouldn't have allowed me to save the file but it did.
[06:17] <UndrWater> Kartagis: yes, you should be able to re-edit your sudoers file while logged in as root
[08:23] <saitama> hello your sensei here
[08:34] <arraybolt3> Kartagis: if you still have a root shell, you can fix it from right where you're at. Otherwise, drop to emergency mode, get a root shell, remount the root directory as read/write, and then modify the file.
[08:36] <arraybolt3> You can get to emergency mode by bringing up the GRUB menu (this is done by pressing and holding Shift during early boot on BIOS devices, or by tapping Esc at just the right moment during early boot on UEFI devices), then selecting "Advanced options for Ubuntu", then selecting the second item in the list that appears.
[08:36] <arraybolt3> Then select the root shell option, then run `mount -o remount,rw /` to make your root directory rread-write.
[08:37] <arraybolt3> Then `nano /etc/sudoers` and fix whatever went wrong. Then `reboot` at the end and see if it worked.
[08:39] <arraybolt3> (The hardest part of the above process is getting the GRUB menu to show up. The right time to tap Esc is just immediately after the screen goes blank during the bootup process.)
[08:40] <arraybolt3> (and also, try to only tap it once, otherwise you may end up in a GRUB shell, which is tricky to work with and you'll have a hard time getting back to the GRUB menu from there)
[08:46] <Kartagis> I had to reinstall it. no big deal, it's in a VM anyway.
[13:10] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:12] <jailbreak> No.
[15:24] <CrtxReavr> I installed a .deb file for an application. . it intalls a .desktop file, amongst otherthings. .  there some util to make it add it to the UI menu?
[15:28] <oehman> system meny and add to favorites
[16:31] <loswedseded> how do I run a .bat file from a terminal? I'm installing a rom into a device (smartphone)
[16:31] <loswedseded> I don't know if this is the right place to ask, as Im unsure if I have to run fastboot
[16:33] <oehman> why dont you run heimadal instead?
[16:33] <oehman> opps heimdal
[16:34] <loswedseded> because instructions are already difficult enough to follow
[16:34] <oehman> and yes the phone myst be in fastbootmode
[16:34] <pragmaticenigma> loswedseded: .bat is a Microsoft format for scripting actions in MS-DOS/Windows based operating systems. I don't believe there is any interpreter in Ubuntu that can work with them. The developer of the ROM might have instruction involving a bash script, which would end with the file extension .sh
[16:36] <loswedseded> so, device IS in fastboot mode and my ubuntu 23.10 recognizes that there is a device connected via fastboot
[16:36] <pragmaticenigma> loswedseded: If you're unfamiliar with the instructions, I would advise against flashing anything to your phone. Unless you have someone that is familiar with the process that can help you directly.
[16:37] <loswedseded> pragmaticenigma, I extracted the .zip file. Inside there are 2 .bat files and 1 .sh file, .bat files are named according to chipset, .sh file is simply named fastboot
[16:37] <loswedseded> pragmaticenigma, this is an old device, bricked, and I don't care if it's nuked again
[16:37] <pragmaticenigma> loswedseded: I don't know what you are working with, and flashing roms to mobile phones is out of scope for this channel. I highly recommend you reach out to the developer/community that created that rom for assistance.
[16:38] <loswedseded> thanks pragmaticenigma
[16:38] <oehman> chomod +x fastboot.sh and then ./fastboot.sh
[16:38] <xangua> Just flash custom recovery and then flash custom OS from there loswedseded
[16:38] <oehman> chmod
[16:39] <xangua> Just flashed a custom rom on my old device, not worth it, battery capacity is only 25% of original one
[16:40] <loswedseded> oehman, so first I cd to the directory where I extracted the rom, right?
[16:40] <oehman> yes
[16:40] <oehman> no
[16:40] <oehman> to the .sh file
[16:41] <loswedseded> ok, and now, simply type in the terminal: chmod +x fastboot.sh
[16:42] <oehman> correct
[16:42] <oehman> and then ./fastboot.sh
[16:43] <loswedseded> be patient, as Im a noob: the last command you pasted, ./fastboot.sh', loges me into fastboot mode IN my desktop, correct?
[16:43] <loswedseded> oehman, ^^
[16:43] <oehman> no on your phone
[16:43] <loswedseded> but I'm already on fastboot mode on my phone
[16:44] <oehman> then just follow instructions in terminal
[16:44] <loswedseded> oh
[16:46] <loswedseded> ok, I executed the command ./fastboot.sh from the terminal, the device rebooted, but is not installing anything
[16:46] <loswedseded> it loops: on and off, on and off
[16:47] <oehman> then thats the only thing that the fastboot.sh does for you... What brand of smartphone do you use
[16:48] <loswedseded> asus
[16:48] <pragmaticenigma> oehman: the support here is for ubuntu... if you and loswedseded would like to continue, I would reommend continuing in #ubuntu-offtopic or another appropriate channel.
[16:48] <loswedseded> oehman, would you join me at offtopic?
[16:49] <loswedseded> thank you pragmaticenigma
[16:49] <oehman> then i'm unaware of what type of flashing applictaion you must use... The only one i know about are heimdal and that one is for samsung
[16:50] <oehman> sure
[19:10] <Guest99> hello
[19:11] <arraybolt3> 👋
[19:12] <Guest99> is this chat room or used for other things ?

[21:07] <morgan-u2> 22.04 Hello. Can I get a version of terminal that will let me use a different color than either black or white? (like some grey even?)
[21:08] <morgan-u2> Where is the right place to mention something that works in mate and not in gnome (chrome desktop shortcuts)?
[21:08] <leftyfb> morgan-u2: I'm not sure about Mate, but gnome-terminal in the default install of ubuntu lets you change the colors
[21:09] <leftyfb> other than that, I prefer terminator, which also lets you change the colors
[21:11] <morgan-u2>  leftyfb I have gnome. I fret that... (I want to have that discussion in the correct place.)
[21:12] <morgan-u2> leftyfb, Thanks. I will install terminator.  (The End)
[21:12] <leftyfb> morgan-u2: a discussion about what? How to change the colors in gnome-terminal?

[21:12] <leftyfb> morgan-u2: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/app-colors.html.en
[21:13] <morgan-u2> No a discussion that the chrome shortcuts didnt useto work at all in gnome and ... now they do but they still dont have the name I just gave them BUT they can be renamed on the desktop (after you click on them and find out what they are).  - except for the image shortcuts which are still funky.
[21:14] <morgan-u2> I shall try those. Right after I get terminator, have a better more identifiable color for my bash window, try out lastterm and see what it does.
[21:15] <morgan-u2> That is my mission.
[21:30] <morgan-u2> leftyfb, re Terminator: how do I change the color of the text inthe prompt?  There's not enough contrast for me to read it.
[21:31] <leftyfb> morgan-u2: ok, the colors you are talking about can be changed with your bash prompt settings

[21:43] <morgan-u2> o- - lefti AM ABOVE MY PAY GRADE
[21:44] <morgan-u2> Thanks for the bash prompt color info leftyfb
[21:49] <pragmaticenigma> morgan-u2: for what purpose where you needing lastcomm?
[21:49] <pragmaticenigma> *were
[21:50] <morgan-u2> leftyfb, in terminal I changed the "Pallette to LINUX instead of their default "Ambience" or my previous choice "Tango" and now I can read the prompt line. I dont need the bash instructions (though I will read them. Andything bash is good for me.)
[21:52] <morgan-u2> pragmaticenigma, Interesting nick, story? -- A couple of days ago I asked How can I tell why my system died and someone in here suggested i look at lanstcomm
[21:52] <morgan-u2> oops lastcomm
[21:54] <morgan-u2> Merci Merci leftyfb
[21:57] <morgan-u2> looked at lastcomm output. it did output nicely.  my understanding lacking. I will apply my brain and searching another day.
[21:59] <pragmaticenigma> morgan-u2: I'm not sure what help lastcomm will provide in seeing why your computer died. Log files in /var/log will be more beneficial.
