[03:33] <Josephur> Hrm I need a vsftp wiz
[03:33] <Josephur> There's 3 things I cannot figure out and can't seem to find a good tutorial for that actually works.  Any takers? :D
[03:33] <rbox> ftp!? what is this, 1980?
[03:33] <Josephur> LOL
[03:34] <Josephur> It's still the easiest way for me to move massive web files around and manage em
[03:34] <akik> cool, age shaming is still a thing in 2024
[03:34] <rbox> not sure how that makes sense
[03:34] <rbox> but whatever
[03:35] <akik> you could just stop doing it
[03:35] <Josephur> Hey I was trying to figure out sendmail the other day til someone said switch to postfix you pleb :P
[03:35] <Josephur> now PHP is happily sending mail :)
[03:37] <Josephur> 1) When I enable ssl it no longer accepts connections (I think the service just doesn't start) and ufw has rules set for it, 2) how to make user only be able to access their own home folder only (I don't understand vsftp chroot), and finally how to make a public_html or similar folder that links to website or websites in /srv/www where I have stored them :P
[03:38] <rbox> links t o website?
[03:38] <Josephur> links to apache sites directories basically... I'm not sure if a symlink is the way to go?
[03:39] <Josephur> does vsftp follow symlinks? I suppose it wouild
[03:40] <Josephur> Hey at least the FTP isn't accessible via the public, only the local network, give me some credit :D
[03:41] <Josephur> I think its "man vsftp" time :P
[03:42] <rbox> not sure how this is "easiest"
[03:42] <rbox> lol
[03:42] <devslash> Josephur have you heard of tailscale
[03:42] <Josephur> I use ZeroTier One and Cloudflare Tunnels
[03:43] <Josephur> Basically a zero config vpn like tunnel similiar to tailscale
[03:43] <devslash> oh nice
[03:43] <devslash> what made you choose them over TS
[03:43] <Josephur> I've never used TS actually
[03:44] <Josephur> So once I found something that worked, and worked well... I stuck with it
[03:44] <Josephur> ZeroTier is free up to I want to say 50 devices or so
[03:44] <devslash> its really nice. with this, no apps are exposed to the piblic web
[03:44] <Josephur> Yeah cloudflare protects any public open ports which are only http and https at the moment
[03:44] <Josephur> and it super protects any login page that may be on the web server with 2FA
[03:44] <devslash> and with TS you get 100 devices
[03:45] <devslash> nice
[03:45] <devslash> does each device count as a node ?
[03:45] <Josephur> I think so
[03:46] <devslash> you get 25 nodes
[03:46] <devslash> for free
[03:46] <Josephur> Yeah it might have changed, I've used it for awhile I think mine is grandfathered at 50
[03:46] <devslash> yea
[03:46] <devslash> looks cool. really similar
[03:46] <Josephur> The only issue I have with it, is when I connect to some VPNS
[03:46] <Josephur> it makes that network unreachable
[03:47] <Josephur> however I think that's more a networking thing the VPN is doing than a ZeroTier problem
[03:47] <Josephur> I hope Cloudflare never decides to start charging for their Tunnels
[03:47] <devslash> well you can only use 1 vpn at a time
[03:47] <Josephur> right now it's a free service
[03:48] <devslash> yea
[03:49] <Josephur> You install the cloudflared client on a host on your network, doesn't have to be the server you want to have public access to but it can be.  Then you make firewall rules basically allowing only certain ports etc, it can enforce https only easily, and require multiple factors of authentication to certain paths on the server, etc etc..
[03:50] <Josephur> you dont need a public IP at all to run a web server with it
[03:50] <akik> tailscale is free foor up to 100 nodes
[03:50] <Josephur> your DNS points to them and it automagically redirects the traffic to your inside network, and if IP changes it immediately updates
[03:50] <Josephur> it'
[03:50] <Josephur> it's really kinda crazy :D
[03:52] <devslash> akik yea. it just works and you can easily access docker containers over https
[03:52] <akik> devslash: it's protocol agnostic
[03:52] <devslash> have you used it
[03:53] <akik> yes works really nicely
[03:53] <devslash> so youve used tailscale serve/funnel
[03:53] <akik> just the normal tailscale client
[03:54] <devslash> oh
[03:56] <akik> last time i installed it on my mother's computer in her city. now when she turns on internet access and the win11 laptop, i can access its vnc server from my home
[03:56] <devslash> you can also set up ssh very easily

[09:09] <machine> need help with setting up ntp
[09:12] <CosmicDJ> machine: then start asking the real questions
[09:13] <machine> i have tried to setup ntp client, however currently my ntp service status is failed
[09:13] <machine> along with chrony
[09:14] <machine> i have edited the conf file with syntax - service <ntp server ip> prefer iburst
[09:14] <machine> timedatectl shows ntp service inactive
[09:23] <Korvo84> hi, new installation of ubuntu studio 2204 shows enormous system windows and text size, no way to resize and make it smaller, screen resolution is ok. even after installing tested nvidia graphic drivers, nothing changed
[09:25] <Guest2704> Hello
[09:27] <Guest2704> whoami
[09:28] <CosmicDJ> machine: it's "server pool.ntp.org" in chrony.conf; not *service*
[09:29] <machine> @CosmicDJ i have my own local ntp server and i need to sync my linux machine to that server
[09:30] <machine> and i have edited /etc/ntp.conf
[09:30] <machine> i have not touched chrony.conf till now
[09:31] <CosmicDJ> machine: also make sure you don't end up with 3 ntp running services, there could be at least chrony, systemd-timesyncd and ntpd right now
[09:31] <machine> i have installed ntp and chrony both
[09:32] <machine> systemd-timesyncd will be already there
[09:32] <CosmicDJ> machine: and even with ntpd it's "server <ntp_server>" and not "service <ntp_server>"
[09:38] <machine> that was a typo
[09:38] <machine> @CosmicDJ i am using server <ntp server> only
[09:39] <machine> should i go with systemd-timesyncd
[09:39] <machine> only and remove ntp and chrony?
[09:39] <machine> i don't understand why ntp and chrony are going into masked state
[09:39] <CosmicDJ> machine: when all you need is a ntp client then systemd-timesyncd is good enough IMHO
[09:39] <machine> and after unmasking active (exited) or failed
[09:40] <CosmicDJ> machine: what's systemctl status systemd-timesyncd showing?
[09:40] <machine> its active and running
[09:40] <machine> i have removed ntp and chrony now
[09:41] <machine> now ntp service shows active
[09:41] <machine> after hitting timedatectl command
[09:41] <machine> and system clock synchronized is - yes
[09:42] <machine> however with ntpstat i can see that its not getting synchronized to my local ntp server
[09:42] <machine> how can i config my local ntp server using timesyncd
[09:42] <CosmicDJ> machine: timedatectl timesync-status should show which ntp server timesyncd is using right now
[09:43] <machine> yes, it is showing a different ntp server ip
[09:43] <machine> how can change it to mine
[09:43] <machine> i*
[09:46] <CosmicDJ> machine: sudo systemctl edit systemd-timesyncd
[09:47] <CosmicDJ> mh wait, that's just the service, not the config
[09:47] <machine> okie
[09:48] <CosmicDJ> machine: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-timesyncd
[10:20] <webchat92> Hello There, can anyone help with "Repository Server set-up" for Ubuntu 22.04.4?
[11:04] <Korvo84> hi all, new installation of ubuntu studio 2204 shows enormous system windows and text size, no way to resize and make them smaller, screen resolution is ok and application windows work good ad the right resolution and size. even after installing tested nvidia graphic drivers, nothing changed. system and prompt windows are unusable and unreadable
[11:04] <Korvo84> because of the size
[11:13] <Guest72> hey
[11:13] <Guest72> https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.9-rc1/ is this source from ubuntu

[11:16] <ravage> !mainline | Guest72
[11:18] <Guest72> but is the source with the .deb pkgs from ubuntu? so https://kernel.ubuntu.com?
[11:18] <Guest72> I just wanted to try the 6.9 kernel
[11:20] <Guest72> oh wait
[11:20] <Guest72> god damn
[11:20] <Guest72> am I stupid

[11:25] <Guest72>  amd64/linux-modules-6.9.0-060900rc1-generic_6.9.0-060900rc1.202403242136_amd64.deb and  amd64/linux-headers-6.9.0-060900rc1_6.9.0-060900rc1.202403242136_all.deb?
[11:26] <Guest72> cool thanks
[11:35] <Guest72> guys ubuntu is the most insecure linux distro or?
[11:35] <Guest72> :D
[11:35] <Guest72> beside arch
[11:36] <Guest72> I mean I heard snaps and pacman is same security issue
[11:36] <Guest72> I even think emerge is on the same level
[11:40] <Guest72> am I unique that I try rc kernel?
[11:40] <Guest72> xd
[11:42] <Guest72> ubuntu hass so many hackers in here lol
[11:42] <Guest72> 1117

[11:44] <Guest72> is ok
[11:44] <Guest72> still better than arch
[11:44] <Guest72> xd
[11:44] <Guest72> If I would like to gather maleware then I would take arch linux
[11:46] <Stoil89> Hello!
[11:47] <Stoil89> ? Is Ubuntu Pro possible to be used on Ubuntu official derivative such as Xubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, etc.
[11:47] <Stoil89> *official derivate/flavor
[11:56] <ravage> Yes you can add it to their LTS releases. But keep in mind the flavor specific packages do not get support for that long
[11:57] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:06] <Stoil89> Thank you!
[13:18] <Korvo> Korvo84 12:04:10
[13:18] <Korvo> hi all, new installation of ubuntu studio 2204 shows enormous system windows and text size, no way to resize and make them smaller, screen resolution is ok and application windows work good at the right resolution and size. even after installing tested nvidia graphic drivers, nothing changed. system and prompt windows are unusable and unreadable
[13:18] <Korvo> because of the size
[15:30] <Korvo> hi all, new installation of ubuntu studio 2204 shows enormous system windows and text size, no way to resize and make them smaller, screen resolution is ok and application windows work good at the right resolution and size. even after installing tested nvidia graphic drivers, nothing changed. system and prompt windows are unusable and unreadable
[15:30] <Korvo> because of the size
[15:32] <ogra_> Korvo, did you accidentially enable some accessibility setting ?
[15:33] <pragmaticenigma> or window scaling?
[15:33] <pragmaticenigma> "screen scaling"
[15:33] <comph> hi, not sure where to begin... my title bars are gone in gnome on all apps/windows.
[15:34] <comph> i think it happened after upgrade, everything is updated & upgraded
[15:35] <comph> alt + tab doesn't work neither
[15:35] <comph> it's like the wm is malfunctioning
[15:36] <pragmaticenigma> have you rebooted since running the update?
[15:36] <comph> yes, a few times
[15:37] <ogra_> do you have any gnome extensions installed ?
[15:37] <comph> the only thing i can think off is that i installed awesomewm some time ago, but it never worked
[15:37] <comph> no gnome extensions that i can think of
[15:38] <ogra_> to find out if it is a prob with the system or with your user settings you should create a test user and see if it is also broken if you log in with that
[15:38] <ogra_> (you can indeed delete that user afterwards)
[15:39] <comph> good idea
[15:39] <comph> it's xubuntu for the session, i can't change that it seems
[15:42] <comph> weird, no issue when i create & login with another user
[15:43] <ogra_> not weird, that points to some setting in your normal users session that causes the issue ...
[15:44] <comph> yes
[15:44] <comph> it's just that i haven't changed anything
[15:44] <comph> i wonder if it's a bug
[15:44] <pragmaticenigma> you may have changed something a long time ago, that has only now impacted your session
[15:45] <comph> yea could be
[15:45] <pragmaticenigma> you mentioned an extension of awesomewm that "never worked"... perhaps it is working now and causing the issue
[15:46] <comph> this looks more like something is broken tho
[15:46] <comph> not that awesomewm is loaded
[15:46] <comph> and the session says xubuntu
[15:47] <comph> not sure where to look even
[15:47] <ioria> comph, what's in ~/.cache/sessions/ ?
[15:48] <comph> xfce4.session + xfwm4-stuff
[15:48] <ioria> comph, back them up, logout, login
[15:50] <comph> yes
[15:51] <comph> the same files seems to be there
[15:51] <ioria> sure
[15:55] <pragmaticenigma> comph, you mentioned a new user has a working desktop? maybe just make that your new user going forward and migrate your files over there, then delete the broken user and then recreate it, migrate everything to the new-old account?
[15:56] <comph> yes that will be plan b
[15:56] <comph> :)
[15:56] <pragmaticenigma> there should be an "or" in there instead of the "and" in front of migarate
[15:58] <pragmaticenigma> comph, you also could use a file compare tool and run that against the working user home and the non-working user home and see what files come up as different. See if moving those around improves the situation
[15:58] <pragmaticenigma> Personally, I would just do the migrate out and back. Finding what conf file or files that are causing the issue will likely take a lot longer
[16:00] <Korvo> i didnt set anything about scaling and accessibility
[16:00] <oerheks> apt install -f or dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop
[16:01] <pragmaticenigma> Korvo, still work double checking those things to make sure they're set as desired
[16:01] <pragmaticenigma> work => worth
[16:14] <comph> yes that user seems botched
[16:14] <comph> i can actually use the other wm:s with the new user
[16:14] <comph> thanks for the help
[18:07] <zph1nx> is there a way to inject a script from cloud-init/config that is supposed to run at first startup, /etc/rc.local in this case? i've tried write_files: but it isnt even registering, this is a 20.04.6 system
[18:10] <leftyfb> zph1nx: are you just trying to run a shell script on boot?
[18:13] <zph1nx> leftyfb: im working on a no-touch installation iso, the idea is that rc.local takes over on first boot for the user, asks for hostname etc, ive tried adding it with write_files: but its not ever registering
[18:13] <leftyfb> zph1nx: why not just use the oem install?
[18:13] <zph1nx> and its quite an extensive 400 line script
[18:18] <zph1nx> and i can add post provisioner scripts in an oem install that will create an modified oem iso?
[18:19] <leftyfb> I was just referring to asking the end user to set the hostname on first boot
[18:23] <zph1nx> yeah, way more complicated then being asked for a locale, username and partitioning scheme
[18:23] <zph1nx> im looking for a way to get a rc.local onto the system for an intial boot
[19:23] <plastikman> why rc.local
[19:23] <plastikman> guess it doesnt matter he is gone
[19:23] <plastikman> heh
[19:25] <Vetheon> Hey everyone, can anyone direct me on common reasons for port flapping on ubuntu? I'm trying to get K8s API server to bind to port 6443, but the port keeps flapping on me. The k8s server has connection, then it doesnt, then it does, then it doesn't
[19:26] <Vetheon> Can anyone direct me on what I should be looking for? Because there's no firewall on the server anymore.
[19:26] <plastikman> sounds to me like services are crashing
[19:26] <Vetheon> See, I thought that too. But when I uninstalled K8s and tried to test the port with Telnet, it's still flapping
[19:27] <Vetheon> I can get stable SSH on port 22, but that's about it. I can't get any other port to cooperate
[19:28] <leftyfb> Vetheon: is this a hosted server?
[19:29] <Vetheon> It's a bare metal server with it's own IP subnet
[19:29] <Vetheon> Uplink works otherwise
[19:29] <plastikman> its not clear to me where port 6443 exists
[19:29] <leftyfb> Vetheon: which release of ubuntu?
[19:29] <plastikman> you said you "uninstalled k8s" and the issue still exists
[19:29] <Vetheon> leftyfb: 22.04
[19:30] <leftyfb> Vetheon: what other ports/services are you running that are "flapping"?
[19:31] <Vetheon> leftyfb: Right now, nothing. This is a bare install and I can only get port 22 to connect with anything. I can't connect a web server, I can't connect the k8s API server, I can't connect Telnet, everything is just "connection refused" except for SSH on port 22
[19:31] <leftyfb> Vetheon: telnet and a web server aren't installed by default
[19:31] <Vetheon> I'm aware? I installed one?
[19:31] <Vetheon> What?
[19:31] <leftyfb> Vetheon: also, never use telnet. Literally for anything
[19:31] <Vetheon> I've reinstalled this thing like 80 times trying everything under the sun
[19:32] <leftyfb> Vetheon: python3 -m http.server
[19:32] <leftyfb> run that and see if you can hit port 80
[19:32] <leftyfb> Vetheon: better yet: cd ; echo "hello world" > index.html && python3 -m http.server
[19:33] <Vetheon> That started on port 8000 for some reason, but I've got connection. Watching for flap now
[19:33] <leftyfb> right, sorry, I forgot it defaults to 8000
[19:34] <Vetheon> Ok so, port 8000 seems to be stable.
[19:35] <Vetheon> maybe it was some stupid temporary routing issue in the dc...
[19:35] <Vetheon> Let me see if I can get the k8s api server running now
[19:38] <plastikman> how are you running k8s?  is it from snap?  are you running vanilla k8s?  are you running minikube?  I have a k8s cluster running vanilla k8s on 4x intel nuc and have not had any issues talking to the k8s api
[19:39] <plastikman> and on 22.04
[19:50] <Vetheon> plastikman: I'm running it with kubectl and kubeadm. I'm not SUPER experienced with the various versions of K8s other than this one
[19:50] <Vetheon> oh, with containerd as well, not dockershim
[19:53] <plastikman> how are you "installing k8s"
[19:54] <plastikman> since you are saying that port 6443 is flapping, where are you talking to?
[19:56] <Vetheon> By installing k8s I mean installing k8s. Kubectl, Kubeadm, and Kubelet were not installed, so I reinstalled them
[19:56] <Vetheon> It's not really that ambiguous is it..?
[19:57] <naptastic> What controls the GRUB menu timeout? I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.
[19:58] <plastikman> Vetheon: which service is providing the pirt 6443 binding on your syste,m
[20:00] <vlm> is it "noble numbat" that will be next lts release? if so will the current package list for noble https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/allpackages?format=txt.gz be the same packages in the lts release?
[20:01] <vlm> im not very familiar with how this works with ill admit (,")
[20:01] <plastikman> naptastic: its in /etc/default/grub
[20:01] <plastikman> GRUB_TIMEOUT
[20:02] <BlueSmoke> Using Ubuntu20.04 video playback shows white screen with sound on chrome and brave! but works in firefox any idea where to  look to figure it out
[20:05] <plastikman> naptastic: after you change that i beleive that you have to run this.  `sudo update-grub`
[20:06] <naptastic> plastikman, indeed. That didn't work the first time, but when I also did `update-initramfs -u` it now uses the value I provided. (5s) Weird but ok.
[20:07] <naptastic> Thanks :)
[20:26] <Vetheon> Ok so I'm gonna reinstall Ubu on this node. I broke something lol
[20:27] <Overtale> Hello, everyone. I need urgent help with a problem with disappearing folders and files in those folders.
[20:27] <Overtale> Here are some possilby relevant details:
[20:27] <Overtale> * what happens: entire folders their contents and/or only some files from a folder suddenly go missing. One moment they were there, the next they are gone.
[20:27] <Overtale> * scanning my entire system (all mounted drives) with fsearch does not reveal the missing files and folders.
[20:27] <Overtale> * after rebooting, they failed to appear anywhere. Not in their original locations, not in trash, not visible on fsearch's scan.
[20:28] <Overtale> * system:
[20:29] <plastikman> Sounds to me like a failing SSD
[20:29] <plastikman> Vetheon: good luck
[20:30] <Overtale> Did my message get posted? or did I get blocked?
[20:30] <plastikman> You cant just start blastin lines in a channel like this
[20:32] <Overtale> Thank you for unblocking me. Here's what I was trying to ask on a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/H5YjdQqV; p: LinuxHelp240327
[20:38] <Overtale> (hope I didn't get blocked again for pasting a link, haha)
[20:39] <leftyfb> Overtale: what release of ubuntu?
[20:39] <BlueSmoke> uninstalled and re-installed vlc on ubuntu20.04 youtube ect still playing sound but white creen
[20:40] <plastikman> based on the ultra long paste is 23.10
[20:41] <Overtale> leftyfb: `lsb_release -a`: No LSB modules are available.; Distributor ID:	Ubuntu; Description:	Ubuntu 23.10; Release:	23.10; Codename:	mantic
[20:41] <plastikman> you have some strange requirements, like, why do yuou care if the disk sleeps?  its a power save mechanism and the machine will wake it back up when its ready to write, i would not trust that cronjob at all that yuo have writing to the disk
[20:41] <leftyfb> plastikman: the pastebin link doesn't work for me
[20:43] <plastikman> To me it still sounds like filesystm corruption.  its not clear what process is writing the files to one of the many available disks.
[20:43] <jeremy31> leftyfb: try this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Wq8ZQjhc6V/
[20:43] <plastikman> Bad drives, file system corruption, issues with flushing cache to disk etc
[20:46] <BlueSmoke> is yhis the place to geyt help with lost video plaback ?
[20:49] <plastikman> BlueSmoke: I don't think that vlc has anything to do with YT video playback
[20:50] <leftyfb> BlueSmoke: check your video drivers
[20:50] <plastikman> if it works in Firefox but not other webkit browsers it seems like a webkit problem.
[20:50] <plastikman> i have no experience there sho
[20:50] <Overtale> plastikman: That's what I thought when it happened with disk B, and why disk C was added. Disk C is much newer, so shouldn't that reduce the chances of a similar cause? 2) re: filesystem -- checking the drive through disks-[drive]-check filesystem says "filesystem ... is undamaged"
[20:50] <BlueSmoke> It's all video playback even udemy
[20:50] <leftyfb> Overtale: possible bad memory
[20:51] <Overtale> leftyfb: you mean bad RAM on the laptop?
[20:51] <plastikman> that is a good call leftyfb
[20:51] <leftyfb> yes
[20:51] <BlueSmoke> I tried updating soe codecs and somewhere said that vlc add codecs
[20:51] <plastikman> that is why you get paid the big bucks ;)
[20:51] <Overtale> leftyfb: Assuming that's the case, how can I recover the files before going on with replacing the RAM itself?
[20:52] <leftyfb> Overtale: you likely can't
[20:53] <leftyfb> Overtale: maybe look at testdisk. But I wouldn't expect it to find anything
[20:53] <Overtale> leftyfb: Why would RAM disappear folders that weren't being copied / moved that exact moment RAM failed though? I.e. if file a.mp4 was being moved and the RAM failed, wouldn't only a.mp4 go missing instead of a.mp4 and a bunch of other files folder near it?
[20:54] <leftyfb> Overtale: I don't know. I have a feeling some information is being left out or something is running that you either forgot or aren't aware of that's doing this
[20:55] <plastikman> you can install memtest86 and check your ram
[20:55] <Overtale> leftyfb: What kind of things could be also relevant, in addition to what I've included in the pastebin?
[20:55] <Overtale> plastikman: I'll do that too, thanks.
[21:16] <Overtale> could too many small files cause the filesystem to become "overwhelmed" and kinda make it go over its capacity in terms of individual file entries it has? i.e. files getting lost because the system failed to properly record them in its filesystem, because it had too many entries (sorry if a silly question)?
[21:18] <leftyfb> Overtale: check dmesg for messages about inodes or other errors
[21:21] <marc_> hey i need help i got a sgin x15 laptop am trying to install mint but it wont boot into the usb any ideas
[21:23] <oerheks>  
[21:34] <Overtale> Testdisk gave this (`;` = new line): Disk /dev/sda - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 121601 255 63; The harddisk (1000 GB / 931 GiB) seems too small! (< 1956 GB / 1822 GiB); Check the harddisk size: HD jumper settings, BIOS detection...; The following partitions can't be recovered:; Partition               Start        End    Size in sectors; MS Data               1907927591 2222849719  314922129; (3 more MD Data lines like that).
[21:34] <Overtale> What does it mean? Sorry, I've never used testdisk before. And the "MS Data ..." lines are selecteable with a "continue" option, is pressing continue going to make it try to recover those sectors?
[21:36] <bprompt> Overtale: yeap, continue
[21:36] <bprompt> Overtale: it will try to recover, what it can from the sectors it can read
[21:40] <Overtale> selecting a partition just got me to a step that says "No partition found or selected for recovery". Does it mean there wasn't anything broken to recover or I should've pressed something else other than the enter / continue? Was kinda underwhelming. Also, will using PhotoRec before whatever TestDisk was supposed to do be a problem?
[21:42] <syphyr> I have a problem with the latest esm update for openjdk-8-jre-headless on bionic.  It seems that the file "jar.binfmt" was excluded from the package and this causes update-java-alternatives to throw an error
[21:42] <syphyr> update-alternatives: error: alternative /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/jexec for jexec not registered; not setting
[21:43] <syphyr> how do I report an error for esm updates
[21:45] <syphyr> the problem is with 8u402-ga-2ubuntu1~18.04
[21:47] <bprompt> Overtale: ahnn no, testdisk uses photorec to do the recovery
[22:28] <cryptonector> how do I control which kernel I'll boot by default?
[22:29] <bprompt> cryptonector: usually the boot menu will have entries for each
[22:29] <jeremy31> cryptonector: The newest one boots by default
[22:29] <cryptonector> for some reason the system keeps wanting to go back to 6.1 instead of 6.5, I think?
[22:30] <cryptonector>  /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink to vmlinuz-6.1.0-1036-oem, and /boot/vmlinuz.old is a symlink to vmlinuz-6.5.0-1011-oem
[22:31] <bprompt> cryptonector: maybe a quick "update-grub" will help
[22:39] <Vetheon> plastikman: if you're still online, good news! Reinstalling Ubu and switching to microk8s resolved things. Even though the config is basically the same... but it works!
[22:47] <cryptonector> bprompt: hmm, maybe;  is there a way to see what the grub menu would be like, but w/o rebooting?
[22:48] <bprompt> cryptonector: sure, check /boot/grub/grub.cfg , requires root or sudo access
[22:57] <cryptonector> bprompt: got it, it seems it will be the newest kernel; thanks!
[22:58] <garrettkajmowicz> On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS how do I switch from Chromium as a snap to a real application?
[22:58] <leftyfb> garrettkajmowicz: the snap package is a "real application"
[23:00] <leftyfb> garrettkajmowicz: to answer your question, it's linux, you are always free to compile chromium from source if you like
[23:00] <garrettkajmowicz> leftyfb: It's a pain to use. Trying to get printing working with snap packages and apparmor makes me want to find the relevant developers, fly to their house and yell at them.
[23:00] <pragmaticenigma> garrettkajmowicz, If you would like to have the deb packaged version: `sudo snap remove chromium` followed by `sudo apt install chromium-browser`
[23:00] <pragmaticenigma> however! that depends on the repository having the chromium browser in it still... It is still there for me on 20.04... it may not be for you
[23:01] <leftyfb> pragmaticenigma: that just installs the snap
[23:01] <pragmaticenigma> ??
[23:01] <pragmaticenigma> did they go an butcher apt?
[23:01] <leftyfb> it's a transitional package
[23:01] <oerheks> did you check settings> applications > chromium ?
[23:02] <pragmaticenigma> oh for sakes... somehow i missed the keyword transitional in the apt listing
[23:03] <oerheks> there is a cups entry, standard enabled
[23:04] <leftyfb> garrettkajmowicz: if the cups entry is already enabled and it's still not printing, try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/2025526/comments/13
[23:04] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2025526 in cups (Ubuntu) "Printer is not available in chromium snap" [Undecided, Confirmed]
[23:04] <garrettkajmowicz> I'm running KDE and not seeing anything that matches what you are describing. I attempted to edit the apparmor profiles manually, but wasn't able to find the relevant thing, and shouldn't need to do so for basic services like printing.
[23:05] <leftyfb> you don't need to touch apparmor files
[23:05] <leftyfb> garrettkajmowicz: pretty sure KDE has the ubuntu settings app
[23:05] <rock8000> sudo snap connect inkscape:cups-control did you do that but with chromium instead of inkscape
[23:06] <rock8000> i seen it on google now
[23:06] <leftyfb>  sudo snap connect chromium-browser:cups-control
[23:23] <oerheks> !rootirc
[23:36] <Overtale> gpt tells me scalpel can recover files from specific directory with a parameter like `"/media/.../FULL-PATH-TO-FOLDER/FOLDER" y` in its config file and cmd like `sudo scalpel -c /etc/scalpel/custom.conf /dev/sdX -o /path/to/output/directory`. Is this true? It feels like the  `"/media/.../FULL-PATH-TO-FOLDER/FOLDER" y` setting and the `/dev/sdX` cmd parameter  would be telling it to do different things.
