| sem | yeah; let me read the terminal scrollup bc I think it had a different device name | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| sem | no it is the same one, not sure why it took a while to go from down to up but I'll have to remember that for next time | 00:01 |
| JanC | no, I think it was just still busy setting up a connection or something like that | 00:01 |
| JanC | the ethernet chip inside that usb thing would have to "boot" after you plug it in too, no idea how long that takes :) | 00:02 |
| JanC | or maybe upload a firmware to it | 00:03 |

| ghil | Hello there! Quick question: I've been trying to install 23.10, and it doesn't see my NVME at all. I've installed Ubuntu numerous times in the past and it always worked fine. Would the best course of action be to install the LTS and then update? | 00:33 |
| tomreyn | ghil: it's probably some setting in your bios which prevents ubuntu from seeing it. | 00:35 |
| === ingrim7 is now known as ingrim | ||
| tomreyn | disable 'Intel RST' or 'RAID' configurations | 00:36 |
| ghil | Yeah I thought so too that I had reactivated something since last time but it's not time. It kind of sees it, but only as manual partitioning, and doesn't work even then. Fedora installed fine on it (am running currently on that). The NVME is in AHCPI or something like that, and secure boot is off. | 00:38 |
| tomreyn | i should say that "it doesn't see my NVME at all" != "it kind of sees it, but only as manual partitioning" | 00:40 |
| Guest74 | Hi! I am struggling to find A4-4300M with Radeon HD 7420G drivers for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS OS. Is it true that the only solution to remove/solve this error from the boot screen is to downgrade Ubuntu to 15.04 as this is the latest one which officially supports the A4-4300M with Radeon HD 7420G according to | 00:40 |
| Guest74 | https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-lin-15-9 ? | 00:40 |
| tomreyn | if fedora installed fine on it with the same bios settings, then, yes, try the LTS | 00:40 |
| ghil | Sorry, am a bit confounded at the problem. it sometimes barely sees it, and can't really interact with it (You can erase the partitions, but then the disk disappear | 00:40 |
| ghil | Will I be able to update the LTS to 23.10? | 00:41 |
| sarnold | ghil: yeah, you ought to be able to upgrade, I think there's a file to edit to allow that LTS -> non-LTS transition | 00:42 |
| ghil | That makes sense. I'll try that. Nothing against Fedora, but I really want to see where Ubuntu as gone since I last used it a couple of years ago. | 00:42 |
| tomreyn | Guest74: you shouldn't need drivers. try just installing ubuntu, it should work out of the box. | 00:43 |
| sarnold | ghil: I think /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is the file you'd need to poke to allow the upgrade | 00:44 |
| Guest74 | tomreyn: a black screen during every boot includes a message "_common_interrupt: 1.55 No irq handler for vector" and ACPI errors appear | 00:44 |
| tomreyn | Guest74: does it still finish booting, though? | 00:45 |
| === TuxTweaker1 is now known as TuxTweaker | ||
| ghil | @sarnold thanks! I'll look that up on the otherside of the install :) | 00:46 |
| xangua | Guest74: I have those "errors" too, AMD A4, on Ubuntu, Debian, any distro. No issues using the computer. | 00:47 |
| Guest74 | tomreyn: yes, I can use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS normally but I am trying to find a way to solve/remove all messages appearing during the boot | 00:47 |
| sarnold | ghil: once you've got it installed, install all the updates, edit that file, and then do-release-upgrade -- I think that's about all it'll take | 00:47 |
| sarnold | Guest74: you might be able to get some of them to go away by fiddling with BIOS settings; others of them could only go away by convincing your BIOS vendor to provide updates for things | 00:48 |
| sem | I also have those no irq handler for vector errors | 00:48 |
| sem | but i boot ok | 00:48 |
| sem | The other way I've seen of getting those errors to go away involves sending them to a different virtual terminal, but then you won't see real errors either... | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | Guest74: according to https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg2415577.html this is an AMD AGESA BIOS bug. I.e. a portionof the BIOS that AMD manages and needs to provide updates for to the mainboard manufacturer is buggy. | 00:51 |
| sarnold | you can also change the loglevels of the console so that you never see them :) | 00:51 |
| tomreyn | Guest74: a bios upgrade might help. to see which one you have: journalctl -b | grep DMI: | 00:52 |
| sarnold | maybe fwupd can help there | 00:52 |
| sarnold | but not enough vendors use it :( | 00:52 |
| Guest74 | sarnold: I have read too that changing something in BIOS helps for some people but it seems that the AMD is officially supporting Ubuntu up to 15.04 for this AMD version | 00:52 |
| sarnold | Guest74: .. for that specific proprietary driver | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | amd only provides limited driver support for graphics chipsets. i think this is what you are referring to. they do cooperate with linux developers, though, and this has allowed open source graphics driver support to become part of the linux kernel | 00:54 |
| Guest74 | tomreyn: I got "kernel: DMI: Hewlett-Packard HP ProBook 4545s/17ED, BIOS 68CPD Ver. F.68 03/28/2018" from your mentioned command | 00:55 |
| Guest74 | tomreyn: AMD customer care answered: "AMD release the drivers in accordance with operating system support". That means the cooperation between AMD and Ubuntu support has not been fruitful regarding Radeon HD 7420G? | 00:57 |
| === shlom is now known as V1A | ||
| tomreyn | Guest74: you are using ubuntu 22.04 and got graphical output. that's partially a result of a fruitful cooperation of amd and linux kernel developers. | 00:58 |
| === homer is now known as VlA | ||
| tomreyn | Guest74: you already have the latest bios available | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | that's according to https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-probook-4545s-notebook-pc/5229461 | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | so you might just need to live with this message, or try what sarnold suggested | 01:01 |
| sarnold | Guest74: AMD wants you to buy new hardware. they aren't going to put a ton of effort into supporting a ten year old GPU on a brand new OS | 01:02 |
| sarnold | Guest74: that's why they haven't supported that processor in their proprietary drivers for nine years | 01:03 |
| Guest74 | tomreyn: indeed but how to make the aforementioned errors disappear? AMD suggests to wait for official driver update but it is not published since Ubuntu 15.04 came out. | 01:03 |
| sarnold | Guest74: luckily for you, the open source drivers are better supported :) | 01:03 |
| Guest74 | which one is better: fwupd or loglevels hiding? | 01:04 |
| sarnold | they do different things | 01:04 |
| sarnold | fwupd is more likely to fix problems, add new features, etc | 01:04 |
| sarnold | loglevel hiding lets you focus on more important things in life | 01:04 |
| tomreyn | fwupd won't help if there's no newer bios available, though | 01:06 |
| Guest74 | sarnold how to change the loglevels of the console? | 01:09 |
| sarnold | Guest74: you'd add a new loglevel=2 or loglevel=3 or something similar parameter to your kernel command line; the kernel documentation on the setting is in https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt -- you'd edit /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub and then reboot | 01:13 |
| Guest74 | sarnold: if I choose 3, then all the entries 4-7 are ignored? | 01:18 |
| tomreyn | Guest74: yes | 01:20 |
| Guest74 | I can see "GRUB_DEFAULT=0 | 01:20 |
| Guest74 | GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden | 01:20 |
| Guest74 | GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 | 01:20 |

| Guest74 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash atkbd.reset" | 01:20 |
| Guest74 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""" | 01:20 |
| tomreyn | Guest74: you got muted for pasting into this channel. use a pastebin instead, see what Drone / ubottu told you | 01:20 |
| tomreyn | the line you will need to edit is GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 01:21 |
| tomreyn | add the loglevel instruction behind atkbd.reset and before the trailing " | 01:22 |
| tomreyn | then run sudo update-grub and reboot | 01:22 |
| tomreyn | Guest74: you can now talk again | 01:23 |
| sarnold | Guest74: here's what I've got https://termbin.com/lmaj | 01:25 |
| sarnold | Guest74: oh hah somehow I thought you wanted to see what mine is. nevermind :) | 01:25 |
| Guest74 | Should I worry about https://pastebin.com/2VSDm8zD ? | 01:27 |
| tomreyn | no | 01:28 |
| Guest74 | I mean 16-bit boot, os-prober ? | 01:28 |
| Guest74 | Why it stated "Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings"? Is it about the line I just added to grub? | 01:28 |
| sarnold | I uninstalled os-prober because I didn't want it cluttering up my logs all the time, but if you dual-boot it might be worth keeping it around | 01:28 |
| sarnold | or if you *might* dual-boot .. | 01:29 |
| sarnold | memtest eventually gets an EFI version :) so hopefully in a future release that message will go away on its own *and* it'll be useful to you again | 01:29 |
| tomreyn | the "boot menu entry for uefi firmware settings" is where grub tells you that it has added an option to access the bios setup menu from its (grub) menu | 01:30 |
| tomreyn | for convenience | 01:30 |
| Guest74 | Great, thank you! So much! | 01:31 |
| jwash | hi everyone, i have a program that wants me to Alt + L click, but Ubuntu will grab the window and move it instead | 01:31 |
| jwash | is there a way to disable grab window with Alt + L click | 01:32 |
| sem | jwash, maybe if you go into settings and to keyboard shortcuts you can disable the alt-l shortcut | 01:32 |
| sem | unless you tried that already | 01:32 |
| sarnold | jwash: alt+drag has been a standard way to move windows around for a few decades; perhaps the program has a way to let you remap whatever it is doing, rather than trying to remap your window manager instead | 01:35 |
| tomreyn | i don't think default mutter / gnome-shell have an Alt-L keyboard shortcut doing what you describe ("grab window with Alt + L click") out of the box. | 01:36 |
| sarnold | tomreyn: not alt+l, alt + (MOUSE LEFT CLICK) | 01:36 |

| lunatiq | I have no idea what you're asking me | 06:40 |
| lunatiq | "what did I boot up" it's a server | 06:40 |
| lunatiq | It's 22.04 LTS and using SSH cli | 06:40 |

| Bashing-om | lunatiq: A server that has it's boot code on the sda drive ? | 06:41 |
| lunatiq | no | 06:42 |
| ravage | so you have a blank HDD probably | 06:43 |
| ravage | send the output of: fdisk -l /dev/sda | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:43 |
| ravage | (that assumes you are root) | 06:45 |
| lunatiq | https://termbin.com/q9bn | 07:01 |
| lunatiq | Sorry it took so long | 07:01 |
| ravage | that drive is or was part of a raid | 07:02 |
| ravage | so what do you expect to be on there? | 07:03 |
| lunatiq | I'm installing a panel and it doesn't have this drive available | 07:03 |
| ravage | so you do not need the existing data on that drive? | 07:04 |
| lunatiq | No | 07:05 |
| ravage | if you are sure that is correct you should wipe that drive first | 07:06 |
| ravage | then. and only then you use: wipefs -a /dev/sda | 07:07 |
| ravage | and then follow https://techguides.yt/guides/how-to-partition-format-and-auto-mount-disk-on-ubuntu-20-04/ | 07:07 |
| ravage | also if that is a server you rent and they provided you with this drive you should find a new privider | 07:08 |
| ravage | they probably gave you a drive with existing old customer data | 07:08 |
| ravage | really make sure that this drive is not already part of any raid that is active on your system | 07:10 |
| lunatiq | ravage its a fresh hetzner server | 07:11 |
| lunatiq | I'm installing a app and it doesn't list the hdd as available | 07:11 |
| lunatiq | it only lists the nvme | 07:11 |
| lunatiq | that's raid | 07:11 |
| ravage | can you send the output of: fdisk -l | nc termbin.com 9999 | 07:12 |
| ravage | and: mount | nc termbin.com 9999 | 07:12 |
| ravage | also: cat /prod/mdstat | nc termbin.com 9999 | 07:13 |

| ravage | Oh but that would be really bad | 07:25 |
| ravage | Why would you mix nvme with hdd | 07:25 |
| ravage | In that case I would recommend a reinstall and make sure that does not happen | 07:26 |
| lunatiq | it's a fresh install | 07:26 |
| ravage | Then their install system is messed up | 07:27 |
| ravage | That is a combination that should not be configured | 07:27 |
| ravage | See if you can change that on a reinstall | 07:27 |
| ravage | I don't know how their interface worke | 07:28 |
| ravage | Works | 07:28 |
| ravage | Make sure you only put the NVMEs in a raid | 07:28 |

| tomreyn | okay, so that's a proper installation, cool. | 11:03 |
| tomreyn | firefox -v says what? | 11:03 |
| Kartagis | tomreyn: firefox exited again the terminal said exiting due to a channel error | 11:06 |
| Kartagis | firefox -v says 116.0.2 | 11:06 |
| Kartagis | is that only old or way old? | 11:07 |
| ravage | too old for sure | 11:07 |
| ravage | make sure firefox is closed and run: sudo snap refresh firefox | 11:08 |
| tomreyn | maybe that's esr? but i don't think ubuntu provides that | 11:08 |
| dawnbreaker | ubuntu server arm iso maybe does | 11:09 |
| dawnbreaker | i was watching a utm youtube | 11:09 |
| ravage | Kartagis: what is the output of: uname -a | 11:10 |
| Kartagis | maybe I should install server and GUI on top of that. because I need GUI | 11:10 |
| dawnbreaker | falkon is a good web browser too | 11:11 |
| Kartagis | Linux tolgaozses 6.5.0-14-generic #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 18:15:30 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 11:11 |
| ravage | ok so this is a normal x64 install | 11:12 |
| Kartagis | oh look, clipboard works | 11:12 |
| tomreyn | 22.04 arm64 defaults to the snap as well, and it provides the same version as amd64 | 11:12 |
| ravage | snap should give you the latest stable version | 11:12 |
| tomreyn | it would be better idea to install the ubuntu arm64 architecture build on this device, though | 11:13 |
| ravage | that is 121 right now | 11:13 |
| Kartagis | tomreyn: I need amd64, I have a piece of docker software which platform dependent. | 11:13 |
| tomreyn | yes snap 121 is stable | 11:13 |
| tomreyn | there is esr/stable (116.6esd-1), too | 11:13 |
| tomreyn | there is esr/stable (115.6.0esr-1), too | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | sorry, i'm fat fingered | 11:14 |
| ravage | but then he installed that version manually at some point | 11:14 |
| ravage | and yes that would be 115 not 116 | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | i think the esr snap would report that it is "esr" on -v | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | so, ye,s looks like a mnual, outdated, firefox installation | 11:15 |
| Kartagis | ...and firefox crashed again | 11:15 |
| tomreyn | Kartagis: so what does snap list firefox and apt list --installed firefox say? | 11:16 |
| Kartagis | tomreyn: if you're asking if it's a snap, yes snap list listed firefox | 11:17 |
| tomreyn | and what happens when you sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -V ? pleasde show the full output on a pastebin, we suggest https://dpaste.com | 11:17 |
| Kartagis | upgrading now | 11:20 |
| tomreyn | hope this fixes it - i got to leave for now. good luck! | 11:21 |
| Kartagis | thanks a lot | 11:22 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome - if you run into more / related issues, just ask again | 11:27 |
| Kartagis | wee, it didn't crash now. | 11:27 |
| Kartagis | it is syncing | 11:27 |
| tomreyn | running outdated software is dangerous, try to make sure that updates will happen automatically or you have a weekly schedule + reminder to install updates manually | 11:29 |
| Kartagis | will do that | 11:30 |
| dawnbreaker | tell us if it works | 11:34 |
| Kartagis | for some fricking reason, it just started crashing again. I have no other way but to install chrome and import my bookmarks | 11:44 |
| Kartagis | it being firefox | 11:45 |
| Kartagis | if not ff itself, the tab crashes | 11:45 |
| dawnbreaker | how much ram do you have..maybe idk | 11:49 |
| Kartagis | dawnbreaker: I allocated 4gb | 11:51 |
| dawnbreaker | kinda small amount but idk how much you need | 11:55 |
| dawnbreaker | you can run firefox from a terminal and see if theres errors when it crashes | 11:56 |
| dawnbreaker | oh wait that doesnt work | 11:58 |
| dawnbreaker | it escapes | 11:58 |
| Kartagis | dabbill: the terminal says "exiting due to a channel error" | 12:00 |
| Kartagis | dawnbreaker: the terminal says "exiting due to a channel error" | 12:01 |
| Kartagis | dawnbreaker: I probably need more than 4gb because GUI | 12:02 |
| dawnbreaker | maybe snap refresh | 12:02 |
| dawnbreaker | google channels for snap | 12:03 |
| dawnbreaker | Kartagis: do snap refresh then snap install firefox | 12:14 |
| dawnbreaker | or remove it then install it again | 12:15 |

| de-facto | what is this now? updates of my 22.04 popped up offering updates and now it REQUIRES UBUNTU PRO? | 13:38 |
| de-facto | did ubuntu just became non-free as of providing updates to users? | 13:39 |

| de-facto | i never activated any ubuntu pro, it enforces membership now for providing updates? | 13:41 |
| ravage | Please read the FAQ | 13:41 |
| de-facto | this really is offputting, i DONT want this ubuntu pro crap | 13:43 |
| de-facto | so how do i get updates without ubuntu pro now? | 13:43 |
| younder | I have use ubuntu for 18 years and have never used ubuntu pro | 13:44 |
| de-facto | and now they enforce it on users apparently | 13:44 |
| younder | Every 2 years erase you disk and a new LTS version (or 4) | 13:44 |
| younder | Upgrades never turn out well anyhow. For me anyhow. | 13:45 |
| de-facto | if i cant get updates anymore its the end for ubuntu and me | 13:45 |
| ravage | Good luck on your future endeavors then | 13:45 |
| younder | If you have something you can't afford to loose back it up (and make sure it restores) | 13:46 |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:51 |
| lunatiq | I don't understand how I can remove this raid. I've tried everything. | 13:53 |
| lunatiq | I've used installimage and removed the swraid 0 | 13:53 |
| lunatiq | I have commented it | 13:53 |
| lunatiq | I have set raid 0 | 13:53 |
| lunatiq | the hdd still doesn't show in fstab | 13:54 |
| CosmicDJ | lunatiq: raid0?! are you sure you want that? 1 failed disk and the whole raid is gone... | 13:55 |
| lunatiq | CosmicDJ I really dont want any raid at all | 13:56 |
| lunatiq | I've tried to remove it entirely but it won't | 13:57 |
| CosmicDJ | running wipefs from a rescue boot should clean your disks of any raid/lvm/fs traces... though you'll have to reinstall your OS then | 13:58 |
| leftyfb | lunatiq: I hope you're not expecting to "remove the swraid 0" and retain anything | 13:59 |
| lunatiq | https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/b161beda7c96440e884ba148ca2c87a8 | 14:00 |
| lunatiq | This is what is available | 14:00 |
| leftyfb | lunatiq: just repartition and reformat the drive | 14:00 |
| lunatiq | how | 14:00 |
| leftyfb | fdisk, sgdisk, parted, gparted, mkfs, etc | 14:01 |
| lunatiq | You know what that means | 14:01 |
| lunatiq | I don't | 14:01 |
| leftyfb | lunatiq: open gparted | 14:01 |
| leftyfb | lunatiq: again, be less concerned about "removing raid" and just start the process of using the drive as you prefer. You will not be retaining any data off it | 14:02 |
| dnadev2_ | hello. i want to install the xscreensaver package on 22.04 and noticed the installed version is very old (5.45), and the author recommends the newest version (6.08). so i have two questions: 1. is this package "safe" to use in general, i imagine theres a reason ubuntu doesnt ship with it/update the version. 2. if safe, how to install the latest version (hopefully using apt). thanks! | 14:05 |
| leftyfb | !latest | dnadev2_ | 14:06 |
| ubottu | dnadev2_: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 14:06 |
| dnadev2_ | leftyfb: awesome thanks. so safest bet is to use whatever is ubuntu maintains as the "latest stable" in their eyes (generally speaking) | 14:09 |
| lunatiq | https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/raid/software-raid/ | 14:10 |

| dawnbreaker | why cant snaps write to another disk than my os disk? | 14:23 |
| dawnbreaker | how do i do it. i want to open the second disk in terminal then yt-dlp but says permission denied | 14:24 |
| dawnbreaker | i did chown myname disk | 14:24 |
| leftyfb | permission denied doesn't sound like a snap issue, it sounds like a permission issue | 14:25 |
| dawnbreaker | oh | 14:25 |
| leftyfb | dawnbreaker: can you "touch /path/to/disk/somefilename" ? | 14:25 |
| dawnbreaker | alls i did was format the new disk then go into media then chown myname disk | 14:26 |
| leftyfb | dawnbreaker: can you "touch /path/to/disk/somefilename" ? | 14:26 |
| dawnbreaker | hold on ill try | 14:26 |
| dawnbreaker | it did it but didnt return nothing in text in terminal | 14:27 |
| dawnbreaker | oh wait sorry | 14:28 |
| dawnbreaker | let me make file | 14:28 |
| dawnbreaker | yeah same thing. command goes through without any text output | 14:29 |
| ravage | If you write to a removable media there is a permission to allow that | 14:30 |
| lunatiq | why does mkfs take so long | 14:30 |
| lunatiq | for ext3 | 14:30 |
| leftyfb | lunatiq: use ext4 | 14:31 |
| ravage | If you want to write to another disk outside your home you have to use a bind mount | 14:31 |
| dawnbreaker | i can make folders on it and files with my user | 14:31 |
| dawnbreaker | but the yt-dlp snap says permission denied | 14:31 |
| dawnbreaker | geany ide allows me | 14:32 |
| dawnbreaker | geany is a deb | 14:32 |
| leftyfb | dawnbreaker: sudo snap connect yt-dlp:removable-media | 14:34 |

| tomreyn | Kartagis: "Exiting due to channel error" is a follow-up error message, where a child process chooses to exit because it's main process has 'vanished'. there should be more error messages before this one, indicating why the main prcess exited / failed. | 15:24 |
| tomreyn | Kartagis: see this for steps you can take to analyze this better, possibly solve it, or provide qualified feedback to Mozilla (who maintain the snap). https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-crashes-closing-or-quitting | 15:26 |

| SnoopJ | How do I query the installed version of a package in a locale-agnostic way? I am currently doing `apt-cache policy <pkg> | grep "Version:"` but this is not appropriate for a non-English locale, and I don't want to fix this multiple times for each language | 15:36 |
| SnoopJ | Sorry, that's `… | grep "Installed:"` | 15:37 |
| johnfg | hi folks | 15:43 |
| johnfg | This laptop I'm on finds my wifi fine. Running 22.04. | 15:44 |
| johnfg | My other laptop is not finding it. I've looked at settings, but don't see what's wrong. | 15:44 |
| johnfg | If I boot up windows, win 10 finds and connects to the wifi, then rebooting to ubuntu, it finds it. What's up? | 15:45 |
| tomreyn | disable fast startup in windows | 15:46 |
| tomreyn | https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disable-or-enable-fast-startup-in-windows-8-1/ | 15:48 |
| tomreyn | SnoopJ: LANG=C | 15:48 |
| johnfg | So you're thinking one laptop has that disabled and not the other? They are almost clones. | 15:48 |
| === fling_ is now known as fling | ||
| SnoopJ | tomreyn, I need this to work without modifying the locale. | 15:49 |
| tomreyn | johnfg: i'm thinking that the laptop where linux is sometimes unable to initialize the wireless, experiences this when windows does not shut down cleanly, i.e. "fast startup", and the firmware is left in a bad state and not fully reinitialized on boot (to linux). | 15:51 |
| SnoopJ | or hm, maybe I can get away with it. But I'd much prefer to have a way to "just" ask the package system to tell me the version without doing that, it feels more brittle. | 15:51 |
| tomreyn | SnoopJ: dpkg-query has a --format option which lets you configure the output format as you wish. | 15:52 |
| SnoopJ | I was just looking at that. I think `dpkg-query --showformat="\${Version}" -W <pkg>` does what I wanted. Thanks. | 15:53 |
| tomreyn | ah so it's --showformat, not --format, sorry | 15:54 |
| tomreyn | i think --showformat and -W do the same, though | 15:55 |
| ioria | and still uses 'Version' | 15:58 |
| SnoopJ | it does but the format field names don't vary by locale | 15:59 |
| ioria | maybe : dpkg -l|grep -E '(^|\s)firefox($|\s)'| awk '{print $3}' | 15:59 |
| SnoopJ | (I replaced -W with --show in my real usage just to be consistent, as well) | 16:00 |
| SnoopJ | e.g. `LANGUAGE=ja dpkg-query --showformat="\${Version}" --show apt` works fine (a `ja` locale is where the originating issue came from, but a single success here gives me confidence enough) | 16:01 |
