| ges45 | hi i am running ubuntu from a raspherry pi 4 on a ssd, is it possible to format the partiton with the system on it into a ext format. will this make my ssd faster(as its only 94mb/s data transfer) or is it not possible. I used rp-imager to make the install and was thinking of using etcher but cant find any options to format in etcher | 07:17 |
|---|---|---|
| ges45 | booting natively from the ssd | 07:19 |
| CosmicDJ | ges45: df -T should tell you which filesystem you're using right now, chances are it's already ext4 | 07:37 |
| CosmicDJ | ges45: also 100 MB/s seems to be OKish for the pi4, see https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/im-booting-my-raspberry-pi-4-usb-ssd | 07:39 |
| ges45 | nah its fat i already checked. if i use rufus to copy a fresh installation to the ssd with a ext partition for the filesystem do i run the risk of bricking my rp4 | 07:43 |
| CosmicDJ | ges45: could you pastebin df -T ? thanks | 07:44 |
| ges45 | https://pastebin.com/YB715Zk1 | 07:47 |
| CosmicDJ | "/dev/sda2 ext4 984204180 9882580 934222824 2% /" | 07:48 |
| CosmicDJ | you have no business in "/boot/firmware", which is of type vfat | 07:49 |
| ges45 | oh ok thank u | 07:49 |
| ges45 | so my system already is ext | 07:50 |
| en1gma | im running ubuntu 22.04 amd64-desktop (all updates as of now). i have amd 6900xt and using the GLX_MESA renderer so 'glxinfo -B' reports. why isnt the type c port working? do i need to do something extra? trying to communicate with my phone on it | 08:07 |
| en1gma | it provides power but thats it and same port in win11 works fine | 08:07 |
| en1gma | i was trying the proprietary drivers earlier but wasnt satisfied with them so i reverted and i think got rid of them per the instructions. | 08:08 |
| en1gma | rebooted and tested the type c and it dont work so here i am | 08:08 |
| Robi | what's the recommended way to think about recovering from a partial upgrade to 20.04? | 08:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Robi: apt usualy tells you what to do | 08:25 |
| Robi | yep, cept it's failing with `XCRYPT_2.0` not found | 08:26 |
| lotuspsychje | Robi: can you !paste what apt gives you? | 08:26 |
| Robi | no, i'm in a console session from the rescue CD, it doesn't copy the terminal text | 08:27 |
| Robi | VNC based | 08:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Robi: you can use termbin if you like | 08:27 |
| Robi | since this missing thing is required by perl, debconf is screwed | 08:28 |
| Robi | perl: /lib/libcrypt.so.1: version `XCRYPT_2.0' not found (required by perl) | 08:33 |
| Robi | interesting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH was empty | 08:38 |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:10 |
| deaafrizal | whois luckylinux | 13:27 |
| odrling | Hi, I have a segfault in a github workflow running on their 22.04 and was wondering if it could be reproduced with a regular installation of ubuntu | 13:27 |
| odrling | (https://github.com/odrling/dakara-player/actions/runs/7270194613/job/19808910357) | 13:27 |
| odrling | afaik to test it you'd need to clone the repo and run something like apt install vlc && pip install -e '.[tests]' && pytest | 13:29 |
| odrling | although maybe the pip is a bit too optimistic and it should be done in a venv... | 13:30 |
| odrling | well python -m venv env && source env/bin/activate && pip install -e '.[tests]' should work in bash/zsh | 13:32 |
| odrling | OK actually I do reproduce the segfault when running the tests in docker with ubuntu:jammy | 13:46 |
| odrling | just a pastebin with all the steps I forgot to mention above... https://dpaste.com/4Q8KRWHKC | 13:58 |
| Jakov | my qt creator app somehow removed from all applications, how to solve it? I need to open my .pro file with right mouse button as always | 14:09 |
| odrling | Aaand I actually forgot a command, sorry https://dpaste.com/6QUXJT5Y2 | 14:09 |
| CosmicDJ | odrling: you want us to run those commands? | 14:11 |
| odrling | CosmicDJ: If you're on ubuntu 22.04 you can, I'm fairly sure it happens on a regular install now that I made it happen in a jammy container | 14:14 |
| CosmicDJ | odrling: yes I am, but no thank you | 14:15 |
| odrling | ahah fair | 14:15 |
| odrling | well need to go, I managed to get this backtrace I guess https://dpaste.com/9EJ7R2XWQ | 14:32 |

| johnfg | I still haven't got fprint to work properly. Nothing about fingerprints is appearing in Users. I do have libpam-fprintd installed, along with the rest. | 15:26 |
| johnfg | my new (to me) toughbook has a fingerprint reader. fprintd is already installed. I did 'fprintd-enroll <user>, and it recorded (seemingly) my right index finger fingerprint, but never said completed. | 15:26 |
| johnfg | I ended it, because it was just hanging there, and my print's not enrolled. Man page didn't help. | 15:26 |
| johnfg | I reposted, in case this wasn't seen yesterday. | 15:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | johnfg: it's possible the fingerprint device is not supported | 15:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | or possibly broken | 15:36 |
| === zniavre_ is now known as zniavre | ||
| johnfg | pragmaticenigma: It is, and it registers like this: | 16:23 |
| johnfg | Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0. Enrolling right-index-finger finger. Enroll result: enroll-stage-passed | 16:24 |
| johnfg | And then it hangs after the last, i.e., it just sits there... | 16:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | johnfg: From their gitlab page you could enable debugging and monitor the logs while you enroll. Look for the section "Debugging" at the bottom and follow the instructions: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd | 16:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | There is so little documentation, I really don't have any other ideas. I would also suggest that it reporting the "path" of device doesn't mean the device is actually there. You would need to check connected devices through something lsusb or similar. Which will enumerate and list all the attached devices. You can then search through the results to see if a device is found that represents the finger print reader. | 16:32 |
| johnfg | Bus 001 Device 036: ID 138a:0010 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS Fingerprint sensor | 16:56 |
| johnfg | I agree about the man doc. Terse at best! | 16:56 |
| tomreyn | this one looks unsupported: https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:138a-0010 | 16:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | well, that's that then | 16:58 |
| pragmaticenigma | actually | 16:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | tomreyn: Ubuntu 22.04 is listed as "fixed" | 16:59 |
| tomreyn | one probe, after manual intervention, yes. https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=eb550390c1 states that you can use upstream code to make it work. | 17:00 |
| ecapi | does ubuntu come with a default browser? | 17:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | ah, that makes sense tomreyn | 17:00 |
| tomreyn | that git repo is unavailable, though, probably moved elsewhere | 17:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | ecapi: Install Ubuntu and you'll have your answer. | 17:01 |
| tomreyn | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint appears to be the current repo | 17:03 |
| tomreyn | https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/wiki/-/wikis/Unsupported%20Devices lists "138a: Validity (acquired by Synaptics Inc.)" as unsupported | 17:04 |
| johnfg | https://dpaste.com/9WPLPTE7F This is the debug output, and I *do* have /var/lib/fprint. | 17:06 |
| jailbreak | ecapi: think Firefox is the default Ubuntu web browser... | 17:06 |
| ecapi | that sucks was hoping the answer was chromium | 17:07 |
| johnfg | so, were those comments to me about my fingerprint reader not being supported? | 17:07 |
| tomreyn | johnfg: yes | 17:08 |
| tomreyn | ecapi: why does the default matter to you? | 17:08 |
| leftyfb | ecapi: again, why are you in here if you're not running Ubuntu? All you do is post random garbage in here | 17:08 |

| hid3 | Hello everyone. I need help with firewalld on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I want to open 80 and 443 ports for my webserver for all IP addresses. I did `firewall-cmd --permanent --zone-public --add-service=http` (and same for https). However, 80 and 443 ports still do not seem to be accessible. Any ideas what I am missing? | 17:17 |
| leftyfb | hid3: sudo lsof -i :443 # what does this give you? | 17:18 |
| tomreyn | johnfg: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/issues/53 has a developer stating "This should be currently supported." though. So maybe give a newer libfprint build (if your is 3 years old) a try. | 17:18 |
| -ubottu:#ubuntu- Issue 53 in libfprint/libfprint "Unknown Validity support (138a:0010)" [Closed] | 17:18 | |
| hid3 | leftyfb: it lists nginx, which is obviously running | 17:19 |
| hid3 | 'public' zone isn't shown as active.. Maybe that's the problem? I need to somehow activate it? | 17:19 |
| leftyfb | hid3: sorry, I only deal with iptables these day. I'll probably move to nftables at some point | 17:22 |
| hid3 | I'm also iptables guy. firwalld is something barely understandable to me... Zero experience working with it | 17:23 |
| leftyfb | so why not just use iptables instead? | 17:24 |
| hid3 | I'm migrating some system which already used firewalld and I need to make similar setup... | 17:25 |
| johnfg | tomreyn: You're thinking that the one that installs in 22.04 is too old, and get the new one? | 17:29 |
| johnfg | newer? | 17:29 |
| tomreyn | johnfg: i did not know which ubuntu release you are using. 22.04 should be using a libfprint version which is later than what the above bug report comment was about. so my guess is that the developer statement (indicating support) is either outdated (no longer supported) or incorrect. | 17:31 |

| leftyfb | nsaunders: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Slrn | 19:50 |
| nsaunders | leftyfb: thanks. so jnewsrc isn't really used? it's more slrnrc they specify | 19:52 |
| leftyfb | nsaunders: technically, if you're calling the config file, it can be called anything | 19:53 |
| nsaunders | okay, thanks. | 19:54 |
| leftyfb | el: thank you | 19:57 |
| nsaunders | leftyfb: I'm not understanding how to configure the news server https://pastebin.com/smSJBEc2 it keeps looking at the FQDN for localhost | 20:07 |
| leftyfb | nsaunders: "Unable to make connection. Giving up." | 20:09 |
| leftyfb | sounds like you don't have the server running | 20:09 |
| nsaunders | I don't want a news server running locally. at least, that's how the pan news reader works. I'm not following your point. | 20:09 |
| leftyfb | nsaunders: you have your file configured to point to "mordor.saundersconsulting.tech" which is pointing to your localhost | 20:10 |
| leftyfb | if you want it pointing elsewhere, configure it to your liking | 20:11 |
| nsaunders | hmm, okay | 20:12 |
| nsaunders | leftyfb: when I grep .slrnrc for "mordor" I only get one line as a result: set hostname "mordor.saundersconsulting.tech" | 20:14 |
| nsaunders | I'm not understanding then where it's thinking to look at localhost | 20:14 |
| leftyfb | because according to your pastebin, you have mordor.saundersconsulting.tech as the hostname of your machine | 20:15 |
| leftyfb | line 36 and 37 | 20:15 |
| nsaunders | the hostname for my machine is mordor, that's correct. but that's not the NNTP server which I'd like to use. That's where I'm confused. | 20:17 |
| leftyfb | then change the target server in your config to point to the one you want to use | 20:17 |
| nsaunders | I must be asking the wrong question, or asking it the wrong way | 20:17 |
| nsaunders | in the .newsrc file I specify server news.eternal-september.org so shouldn't that be the one it uses? | 20:18 |
| leftyfb | it should be, yes | 20:19 |
| leftyfb | actually | 20:19 |
| leftyfb | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/slrn | 20:19 |
| nsaunders | thanks. okay, then at least I'm understanding that much. Any speculation as to why it's checking localhost or mordor then? | 20:19 |
| leftyfb | "Set the NNTP Environment Variable" | 20:19 |
| nsaunders | yes, I had put my FQDN there. probably a mistake. okay, let me change it. | 20:20 |
| leftyfb | where are you setting that envar? | 20:20 |
| nsaunders | leftyfb: it's working, thx. it's in .bashrc | 20:22 |

| LostCommandStrin | anyone willing to help? | 20:32 |
| LostCommandStrin | I know this is probably a real serious problem but with 1059 people here I was hoping someone would have had the same experience | 20:33 |
| el | "uploaded an app" to what? | 20:34 |
| LostCommandStrin | to my desktop | 20:34 |
| el | so uploaded means installed with the package manager? | 20:34 |
| LostCommandStrin | I followed all the commands as presented and it worked fine, until I closed the app, found icon and figured no worries, I was wrong | 20:35 |
| LostCommandStrin | I used sudo, apt ..................................... | 20:35 |
| el | ok yes then i understood "uploaded" correctly | 20:35 |
| leftyfb | LostCommandStrin: which app? | 20:35 |
| LostCommandStrin | keep in mind, I am not savvy in Linux or the proper verrbage to describe | 20:35 |
| el | also in the future if you followed instructions it helps to show the link of what you followed | 20:35 |
| LostCommandStrin | the app is called Thinkorswim | 20:36 |
| LostCommandStrin | it is a platform for charles schwab but I found accurate instrctions on linux website | 20:37 |
| leftyfb | that doesn't seem to be an app from the official ubuntu repositories | 20:37 |
| leftyfb | I don't think you used apt at all | 20:38 |
| arraybolt3 | or if you did you installed something from a third-party repo | 20:38 |
| LostCommandStrin | can I post the link for it here? | 20:38 |
| arraybolt3 | in which case you should probably report the lack of icon to whoever maintains that repo (which may or may not be the developer of the app, usually it's *not* the developer of the app) | 20:38 |
| leftyfb | LostCommandStrin: https://linux.how2shout.com/how-to-install-thinkorswim-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts-linux/ | 20:39 |
| leftyfb | LostCommandStrin: I would recommend re-installing and following the instructions | 20:39 |
| LostCommandStrin | hey iot asked if I wanted an icon, I clicked the yes box | 20:39 |
| leftyfb | LostCommandStrin: mine you, this isn't a supported application here | 20:39 |
| LostCommandStrin | https://linux.how2shout.com/how-to-install-thinkorswim-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-linux/ | 20:39 |
| LostCommandStrin | exactly the same site I used lefty | 20:39 |
| LostCommandStrin | as I said, it worked fine | 20:40 |
| arraybolt3 | LostCommandStrin: In that case you should report to the devs of thinkorswim that their installer doesn't create an app icon on Ubuntu properly. | 20:40 |
| LostCommandStrin | I did not know it had not filled the icon with a command line to program | 20:40 |
| leftyfb | LostCommandStrin: reinstall it | 20:40 |
| LostCommandStrin | reinstall it? | 20:40 |
| leftyfb | LostCommandStrin: yes, go through the install process again | 20:40 |
| leftyfb | https://linux.how2shout.com/how-to-install-thinkorswim-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts-linux/ | 20:40 |
| leftyfb | or not | 20:41 |
| LostCommandStrin | that sir, I can do | 20:41 |
| LostCommandStrin | will not be 2, it will overwrite? | 20:41 |
| leftyfb | there will not be 2 | 20:41 |
| LostCommandStrin | thanks | 20:42 |
| leftyfb | LostCommandStrin: the only comment on that page is someone with the same problem. It might just be a known bug with their software | 20:42 |
| LostCommandStrin | I typed in all the commands | 20:42 |
| LostCommandStrin | tell me, how do we cut and paste in the command box? all I get is ^v | 20:42 |
| leftyfb | CTRL+SHIFT+C CTRL+SHIFT+V | 20:43 |
| LostCommandStrin | got it | 20:43 |
| LostCommandStrin | CTRL C and V was all they showed, not the SHIFT lol | 20:44 |
| LostCommandStrin | lefty, thanks for the assist | 20:44 |

| pragmaticenigma | those packages were not included in newer releases for a reason. | 21:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | boxrick: what application are you seeking? | 21:33 |
| boxrick | Just an old script which will do for the moment. ( Denyhosts ). https://github.com/denyhosts/denyhosts/tree/v3.1 | 21:33 |
| boxrick | Never had any obvious luck with fail2ban, it did too much and never worked properly. | 21:34 |
| boxrick | denyhosts just mostly worked for my purposes. | 21:34 |
| leftyfb | fail2ban works perfectly fine | 21:34 |
| leftyfb | denyhosts is not available in ubuntu 20.04 | 21:34 |
| leftyfb | denyhosts hasn't been supported since ubuntu 18.04 | 21:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | boxrick: that denyhosts project has been dormant for more than 8 years. It probably is leaving you more vulnerable than it is helping. Might even be undoing better security practices that have been implented in the last decade. I wouldn't be using that. | 21:35 |
| boxrick | I think it was taken over and fixed up. Commits look recent on master: | 21:38 |
| boxrick | https://github.com/denyhosts/denyhosts/commits/master | 21:38 |
| pragmaticenigma | boxrick: it's last release was 2015, all I'm seeing is busy work to try and get linters to pass their checks of the code. | 21:39 |
| nsaunders | how do you list available newsgroups with slrn? | 21:40 |
| leftyfb | nsaunders: https://slrn.info/docs/slrn-FAQ-3.html | 21:43 |
| arbitarycomment | There is even more to Zeitgeist: it seems CIA has funded this whole operation back in 2012 and even promoted some young students to create a whole blog dedicated to spread propaganda on "Why Zeitgeist is safe" https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/is-zeitgeist-spying-on-you believed by most soymilk enjoyers (main Ubuntu user base back in time and easy persuasion targets). | 21:48 |
| arbitarycomment | 21:48 | |
| arbitarycomment | Turns out the whole blog belongs to covert Zeitgeist authors, one of which is an Israeli citizen (Seif Lotfy), whose country is known to produce and provide top-notch spyware and intelligence tools to many governments, including the United States of America. | 21:48 |
| seere | feels a little bit like Whac-a-mole: come in, have some tin foil hat comment, leave before you get kicked. | 21:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | seere: it's best to pay no mind to it, and call no attention to it. (also, it's likely that the server admins cut the connection on them.) | 21:59 |
| foo | Hello, I'm getting flooded with this: "OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device: '/dev/shm/tmpfl_i5a5y'" - can I delete everything in /dev/shm ? is there a command to delete things? Haven't seen this before | 22:14 |
| leftyfb | foo: /dev/shm is your memory, not your drive | 22:19 |
| foo | leftyfb: ok, can I clean this or clear this somehow? | 22:19 |
| foo | leftyfb: this just happened on a production server and is a significant issue | 22:20 |
| foo | # ls -al . |wc -l 2049243 | 22:20 |
| foo | That's in /dev/shm | 22:20 |
| leftyfb | foo: depends on what is writing to that and why | 22:20 |
| foo | leftyfb: my sense lots of cached files | 22:20 |
| foo | Which we didn't clear, a reboot would probably clear this. Any other way? | 22:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | foo: killing process threads that have high RAM utiliziation | 22:21 |
| foo | leftyfb: thank you for chiming in, this isn't good and the people responsible aren't around at this moment but should be | 22:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | but that's whack-a-mole | 22:21 |
| foo | pragmaticenigma: agree | 22:21 |
| leftyfb | foo: again, it depends on what is writing to it and why. You could verywell break something that is running if you wipe out it's temp files | 22:21 |
| leftyfb | foo: it's all specific to your machine | 22:21 |
| foo | free -m looks fine https://bpa.st/LHEQ | 22:22 |
| foo | leftyfb: is the safest bet to reboot things? | 22:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | Being that it's production server, I think this warrants a call to your supervisor for assistance | 22:22 |
| leftyfb | foo: yes | 22:22 |
| foo | pragmaticenigma: thank you, that's me - but I'm not a server admin at the moment *sweats | 22:22 |
| foo | leftyfb: ok, I'll reboot. Have never seen this before | 22:22 |
| foo | I think we have a python library writing to memory | 22:24 |
| foo | or something | 22:24 |
| leftyfb | foo: to clarify, it's not "your memory" per se, it's a ramdrive. It's a filesystem that is mounted to memory, not storage | 22:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | foo: if your team just pushed a new update your application, I'd roll it back | 22:24 |
| foo | Only thing throwing an error is python | 22:24 |
| foo | pragmaticenigma: great suggestion, we haven't pushed anything in the past 24-48 hours, but it's likely this is related to something somewhat new. | 22:25 |
| foo | Rebooted. | 22:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | It could have taken that long to chew up all that space. Something isn't cleaning up after itself | 22:25 |
| foo | Haven't had to do this in years | 22:25 |
| foo | pragmaticenigma: agrered | 22:25 |
| foo | agrered | 22:25 |
| foo | err, agreed* | 22:25 |
| foo | Thankfully this is our main processing server and not so much `tmpfs 7.9G 28K 7.9G 1% /dev/shm` | 22:27 |
| foo | Ok, it's freed up | 22:27 |
| leftyfb | foo: I would monitor it | 22:28 |
| foo | leftyfb: I can see after a reboot the types of files getting put in here, this is helpful | 22:29 |
| two-tone | my trackpad isn't working but i think i remember having this issue in the past modding a chromebook to efi with mrchromebox First I'm questioning whether the problem is hardware so even though I don't know what I'm doing I ran xinput and got this returned https://imgur.com/a/eFfpCKI | 22:35 |
| Urk | I am wondering if there is a viewer that will show vcf files? | 22:57 |
| leftyfb | Urk: it's just a plain text file | 23:01 |
| Urk | .vcf file | 23:02 |
| leftyfb | yes | 23:02 |
| pragmaticenigma | Urk: unless it's an common application generating the file, VCF files are just plain text files using the VCF or ICS markup (mostly a Key:Value pair format) | 23:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | You can open those files in any text editor to see the contents. If you are desiring a more formatted appearance, most email, or contact management applications can import the file into your contacts lists. | 23:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | (sorry, that first sentenace should have been *uncommon application*) | 23:04 |
| Urk | I get an error indicating that preview is not available for the file type. Its the preview that I am interested in. | 23:04 |
| leftyfb | Urk: cat <filename.vcf> | 23:05 |
| leftyfb | Urk: or open it with gedit | 23:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | Urk: you would have to describe what you mean by preview. It's a plain text file, there's nothing really to preview. It is not an Image format. | 23:05 |
| Urk | Yes, I know that will work, but just wondering if there is a tool I could add for preview? | 23:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | Urk: no, VCF is intended to make sending contact information and importing it into a contacts or communications application easier. The only preview if you don't want to accidentally import a contact record is to open it in a text editor. | 23:07 |
| leftyfb | also, vcf is typically used in Windows applications | 23:07 |
| Urk | ok thanks. | 23:07 |
| leftyfb | Urk: you can import them with thunderbird | 23:08 |
| leftyfb | but not preview | 23:08 |
| Urk | leftyb: Yes, I was just hoping to find a way to preview them. I would prefer to use a small light weight address book which is more light weight. | 23:13 |
| leftyfb | Urk: sudo snap install vcard-studio | 23:15 |
| Urk | leftyfb: thanks | 23:18 |
| Urk | kaddressbook won't import | 23:18 |
| bobdobbs` | I'm obviously misunderstanding "flex-basis". How do I make these blocks 50% width initially? https://jsfiddle.net/4sc1oznt/ | 23:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | bobdobbs`: You might want to ask your question in #html5 or #css | 23:51 |
| bobdobbs` | wups. sorry, wrong chanel | 23:51 |
