jadeiaHello. Installing Ubuntu from USBdrive, and after selecting "try or install" option from the boot screen, I get a series of messages "Problem blacklisting hash -13"and then the process seems to stall at this point. I've disabled secure boot but looking for some potential solutions, thanks.00:48
jadeiaPreviously I was running Linux Mint.00:48
kawalIs it a laptop?00:49
jadeiaNo desktop00:50
kawaltry another USB port or another USB stick, and if it does not work you may need a boot parameter because of particular hardware thing.00:50
jadeiaAh simple, I'll try a different USB thanks00:50
kawalIt should work fine if mint does.00:50
oerhekscheck the iso ..00:53
oerheks!md5sum00:53
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which a checksum is provided), see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-verify-ubuntu00:53
EriC^jadeia: seems to be a widespread thing but shouldnt let it not boot, just a warning message, try oerheks00:54
jadeiaOk, Yeh i read that too. But it does seem to stall the process. Its on that message screen for 10+ mins so far00:54
EriC^i wonder if 'nomodeset' might help somehow?00:56
Marxism-LeninismDoes anyone know how to install Tableau BI on Ubuntu 23.04?00:57
oerheks23.04 is EOL ..00:57
oerheksand that TAbleau is commercial stuff .. unlikely we know https://www.tableau.com/products/linux00:59
EriC^jadeia: maybe try to use a different usb port once the iso checks out as suggested, and also try using "loglevel=7 systemd.log_level=debug" in the kernel line in case it shows more info01:01
EriC^jadeia: which laptop model is it? maybe it's a known issue01:01

jadeiaI get the GNU GRUB screen on boot01:04
jadeiaHow do I change a loglevel? I am on the GRUB01:05
jadeiaTrying *safe graphics* and that seems to be progressing01:09
jadeiaOk yep that worked - looks odd but safe graphics option loaded up and on the install screen. Is this an issue installing from this mode?01:10
oerheksthe !nomodeset factoid is commonly known to fix boot/screen issues, sure01:11
oerheks!nomodeset01:12
ubottuSystems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there.01:12
jadeiaOk thank you good to know. I am running Mint so I assumed I would be ok. I'll check that out before proceeding further01:12

oerheksjadeia, as it is a new system, check for a bios update?01:14

WaVIs that Gefore RTX 3060?01:16
jadeiaYes sorry01:16
jadeiaPretty low end card but has served me well and I am not a heavy gamer01:17
jadeiaMint was great as a landing from Windows experience. It convinced me that Linux is totally suitable for my use case.01:18
WaVWhen the installer asks you to look for proprietary drivers say yes.01:20
jadeiaThank you will do.01:20
WaVYou will want to download the nvidia-driver for your card.01:20
mguyHow do I tell sendmail to use port 587 to send email instead of port 25? That port is closed the message ends up being deferred with a 4.3.2 service not available01:20
leftyfbmguy: you read the sendmail documentation01:22
oerheksmguy, edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc01:22
jadeiaAppreciate the help folks. IRC has been helping me with computers for 30 years :)  So underrated! Big love from me.01:22
oerhekstons of guides like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76903390/how-to-setup-or-configure-sendmail-in-ubuntu-22-04-with-custom-smtp-relay01:23
leftyfbmguy: I would highly recommend using postfix and reading the documentation of your MTA. An email server should not be taking lightly01:23
WaVjadeia: np. Good luck on the install.01:24
mguyIt's just an internal thing...it's already sending out mail correctly but one program isn't sending it out correctly01:24
mguyoerheks: I read that earlier but I'm not using a smarthost01:25
oerheksit's already sending out mail correctly .. on port 25?01:25
mguyoerheks: no, on 58701:25
leftyfbthat's the default01:25
esvit should only listen on port 25, but sending to?01:25
=== Random69 is now known as Random6
oerheksif the port is correct, the one program is not.01:26
esvshouldn't it use port-mapper?01:26
mguyIt listens on localhost and applications are sending email to users internally, it finds the mx for our domain and hits one of our 4 internal mail servers01:26
leftyfbmguy: sounds like ssmtp would work fine then01:27
leftyfbor postfix as a satellite server01:27
mguyand if I use the mail command it does the same thing, tries to hit 25 and fails01:27
leftyfbmguy: so read the documentation and set the port to submission instead01:27
esvon the remote host...01:27
mguyesv on itself01:28
mguyn/m yes the remote host01:28
mguysecurity finally turned off port 2501:28

berocoderI use Ubuntu 23.10 and have a problem with kvm aspect ratio. Black borders left and right.06:05
berocoderMy second big monitor is much wider than my laptop screen. Could that be the reason ?06:06
kawalyes change the resolution in the serttings of course.06:15
kawalit may not adjust properly to the aspect ratio/resolution06:15
kawaland you may also have a menu on your screen06:16
kawalto adapt the screen ratio / the other way aroiund06:16
berocoderPhysically my laptop screen has different aspect ratio than my big monitor. That is wider 34".06:26
berocoderSo of course I want to take advantage of that.06:26
berocoderI use mirror in display settings so same screen on both.06:26
berocoderI suspect that my small laptop screen dictate settings on my big screen.06:26
berocoderThe KVM guest is Windows 10.06:26
kawalyeah, try to extend the display maybe instead, cause in mirror mode maybe it cannot scale the resolution properly for your external screen06:28
=== WonderWorld_ is now known as WonderWorld
berocoderI tried that but doesn't matter. I think it would be most logical in mirror mode that the largest screen take over. And the smaller screen have black borders in case aspect ration is different06:30
berocoderOr ideally a setting. There is primary display. But set my large screen as primary display doesn't matter06:31

ph88i put a script in /etc/cron.daily/ i didn't see it running yet. How can i check if it ran? Do i need to do anything special to make it run?11:28
CosmicDJph88: check /etc/crontab; keep in mind that the cron.daily scripts will not run unless you have anacron installed (see "test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )")11:46
CosmicDJph88: systemd supports timers, maybe you want to use them instead11:48
ph88CosmicDJ, useful advice thanks i will take a look12:23
ph88CosmicDJ, the command   test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )   does not return anything12:25
ph88 /usr/sbin/anacron is present on the system12:25

Haris_https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50652808/apache-shutdown-couldnt-grab-mutex15:38
Haris_for my error ===> By one wonder or another, it seems that once your start using SSL certificates, this configuration line is somehow "ignored". Thus, Apache fail to find the lock dir for the mutex file.  \r\n   Just adding (remove comment) this line into /etc/apache2/apache2.conf isn't working either.15:38
Haris_You have to specifically create a configuration file and enable it. Else it won't solve the problem. <== is this also it?15:38

raffoman journactl16:38
raffoe.g. journalctl -n5000 | grep "Feb 19", or something like that.16:38
raffothere are other ways to dump particular intervals.16:39

mrcoffeeMy computer is not shutting down with ubuntu21:32
mrcoffeeI have tried editing grub21:32
mrcoffeeBUt still not shutting down.21:32
mrcoffeeIt will shut down once if i do a dpkg on boot..21:32
mrcoffeeBut the second time wont shut down anymore..21:32
mrcoffeeOn shut down it says something about filesystem being remounted read only -ro and then it says powering off but never fully does.21:33
preachwat21:41
preachnone of that made any sense..21:41
oerheksrun a fsck on that partition(s)21:42
oerhekshttps://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/disk-repair.html.en //https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting21:43
plastikmani guess i was too late for mrcoffee but what a strange thing to ask.  that is not a grub issue but an acpi issue22:06
mrcoffeeHi there22:11
mrcoffeeStill having shutdown issues, any ideas?22:11
leftyfbmrcoffee: if your filesystem is being mounted read-only it's typically due to a corrupt filesystem and/or bad storage device22:13
mrcoffeeOk.. Thats what i see on shutdown: https://0x0.st/H5-f.jpg22:15
mrcoffeeleftyfb but shouldnt that be fixed with fsck ?22:15
mrcoffeeMeaning i have run dpkg and fsck and the issue persists.22:15
leftyfbok, first off, I don't know why you keep mentioning dpkg. It has nothing to do with shutting down, fsck or any of the symptoms you are experiencing22:16
mrcoffeeWell, for instance running dpkg fixes the issue but just for one loop.22:17
mrcoffeeDont know why or how, but it does.22:17
leftyfbnegative22:17
leftyfbmrcoffee: what is the exact command you are running?22:17
mrcoffeeOn boot, i do the boot ubuntu on safe mode or something like that and then you get the options dpkg, fsck and so on.. resume normal boot22:18
leftyfbplease get specifics and share them here22:19
mrcoffeeUbuntu recovery mode dpkg option, that fixes the issue for one loop..22:19
mrcoffeeTHen the issue shows up again..22:19
leftyfbplease take a screenshot22:19
mrcoffeeAnd i posted an image with what i get on shutdown22:19
mrcoffeeTHats all there is.22:19
leftyfbplease take a screenshot of this "dpkg" message you are seeing22:20
mrcoffeehttps://i.stack.imgur.com/fdmNg.png22:22
leftyfbok, that menu item isn't allowing you to boot22:23
leftyfbwhy are you going into recovery mode to begin with?22:23
mrcoffeeLet me start again leftyfb22:27
mrcoffeeI have a lenovo legion 5 with dual boot, when i power off the maching it never does totally, it says powering off and hangs in there forever.22:27
