[00:11] <syphyr> it seems jexec alternatives were purposely removed from openjdk-8's latest update
[00:11] <syphyr> i guess i wont need it
[00:13] <syphyr> but jexec reference should be removed from .java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64.jinfo
[00:13] <syphyr> so the error goes away
[00:14] <syphyr> when using update-java-alternatives
[00:23] <pragmaticenigma> syphyr, feel free to submit a bug report to recommend the fix
[00:25] <syphyr> ok
[06:29] <shaurya> hello
[07:40] <stenno> in order to install offline packages with apt, i need apt-offline, which depends on a few packages
[07:40] <stenno> how do i offline-install those packages, do i just have to go down the dependency tree
[07:40] <stenno> it would be nice if apt-offline had some sort of bootstrap mode lol
[07:50] <loswedseded> do you offer support to update grub so it shows my OCLP-ed macOS?
[08:26] <fairway> is  ubuntu similar to  linuxmint ?
[08:30] <loswedseded> im trying to update grub so it shows a macOS partition. To do that Im following https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-a-mac-entry-in-grub2/, but when it comes to 'set root=(hd0,X), I don't know what to type instead of X: lsblk and fdisk show /dev/sda partitions (sda1, sda2...), but no hd0 ones
[08:46] <akik> loswedseded: use grub's search command and set the filesystem uuid in it
[08:46] <bobdobbs> Hi all. How can I install php8.2 on ubuntu 24.04?
[08:51] <nteodosio> Hi bobdobbs, looks like you don't: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php8.2
[08:51] <bobdobbs> bugger
[08:52] <nteodosio> 8.3 is not good for you?
[08:53] <bobdobbs> nteodosio: I don't think WordPress has full support for 8.3 yet
[08:53] <bobdobbs> I guess I could install 8.3. I'm just running some experiments really. Nothing that will go into production anyway
[08:54] <nteodosio> Good luck. (:
[08:54] <bobdobbs> ta :)
[10:02] <jwestman> Hello, can I ask for assistance with a technical issue on ubuntu here?
[10:04] <kostkon> !ask | jwestman
[10:08] <jwestman> My question is regarding a really strange bug that started  happening since the last kernel update (Linux wrk 6.5.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu). I have a screen attached over HDMI to my laptop - but the screen keeps going black. This seems to happen specifically when I open certain tabs in firefox - it is 100 % reproducible with opening PDF-files. I have to exit out of them and the screen turns on again. The
[10:08] <jwestman> same does not happen on the laptop screen. I don't think it's a hardware issue since it's only specific things such as opening PDFs. How do I even begin to debug this problem?

[11:52] <BluesKaj> Hi sll
[11:53] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:24] <peirik> Is there an app for Ubuntu that lets you download and install Google Fonts? That would be amazing.
[12:51] <pragmaticenigma> peirik: there are a lot of tutorials for how to do that
[12:52] <pragmaticenigma> no need for an app... usually you can just download the font file from Google's site, unzip it, then copy to your fonts folder, then trigger a rebuild of the font cache
[12:57] <peirik> pragmaticenigma: Thanks pragmaticenigma, but I am aware that it is technically possible to install Google fonts on Ubuntu without an app.
[12:58] <peirik> It would however be amazing if there was an app that could do that for me in an easy way.
[12:58] <pragmaticenigma> I don't understand the need for an app for a single one-off operation
[12:59] <peirik> Why do you assume it would be a single one-off operation? There are more than 1 font available.
[12:59] <peirik> Downloading, unzipping, installing and rebuilding of a cache is a repetitive operation that would be tedious after a couple of fonts...
[13:00] <pragmaticenigma> once you're done with the installation of "n" number of fonts... now you have an app just taking up space.
[13:00] <peirik> Luckily, there seems to be such an app: https://fontba.se/ 🙂
[13:01] <peirik> Well, I dont have your affliction of a phobia of installed apps on my machine...
[13:01] <pragmaticenigma> If you had a wish, I think wishing for someone to create a package to install the available google fonts with would be more appropriate. Just like can be done with other font suppliers
[13:01] <pragmaticenigma> projecting is not a kind thing to do peirik ... I have no phobias... just don't see the purpose of having a single use application
[13:02] <peirik> 🤦‍
[13:08] <pragmaticenigma> peirik: my point is this `apt search ttf | grep ^ttf` will give you all the font families currently available in your repository. If anything, the "app" already exists and is called "apt".  While I don't see one explicately listed for google, there's probably a repository out there that has one, or someone has bundled them into a .deb package already for easy installation.
[13:11] <peirik> pragmaticenigma: I really don't see the need to use the apt app here, honestly. You already have 'curl' or 'wget' installed like everyone else. And then you really just have to write a crawler to grap all the urls from fonts.google.com manually, and then write a shell script to install whatever you want. Why do insist on being so lazy that you delegate all this to the completely bloated and
[13:11] <peirik> unnecessary apt luxury application? 🙄
[13:16] <pragmaticenigma> gosh, then why are you even here? seems like you already have this all figured out? calling me lazy when you're the one asking for an app to install fonts... right...
[13:20] <peirik> 👍️
[14:00] <DonTrackMe2> Can this be done with special effects? https://www.facebook.com/reel/942793840466135
[14:02] <leftyfb> DonTrackMe2: wrong channel
[14:03] <DonTrackMe2> leftyfb, Could be, or not!
[14:03] <leftyfb> DonTrackMe2: this is an ubuntu support channel. Not here please
[14:04] <DonTrackMe2> leftyfb, soon this service will crash, a lot of crap will. then there will be no chanels anymore I fell like...
[14:04] <DonTrackMe2> leftyfb, you understand that I argue with you only because you commented in the first place?
[14:04] <leftyfb> DonTrackMe2: feel free to /join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-ubuntu support
[14:37] <Kangarooo> I need to make webinar recordings from different panels. 6 panel discussions i need to record in OBS. How to do that from one computer? Do i make multiple user accounts and in each will work own sound?
[14:43] <plastikman> I dont really understand the use case, but i dont see how you can have 6 different audio/video streams coming in at one time on the same computer.  this is also not a ubuntu problem
[14:45] <MyWay> hi everybody! I have a strange issue with my keyboard, sometimes when I press one time my up arrow, it goes up for 2 items. It's something recent though, before it was working fine lol. Any idea what it could be?
[14:46] <leftyfb> MyWay: test it out in your BIOS
[14:46] <MyWay> ok leftyfb, thank you
[14:46] <pragmaticenigma> Kangarooo: 6 live streams at the same time on one machine is going to take some heavy resources. But you're likely going to need OBS to be able to run multiple instances for each stream, and I'm not sure it can do that. You might need to find an OBS comunity channel or forum for help on that.
[14:47] <pragmaticenigma> *multiple instances, one for each stream
[14:49] <MyWay> leftyfb: yes, same on the bios unfortunately
[14:49] <leftyfb> MyWay: then your issue is hardware related
[14:49] <leftyfb> nothing to do with the OS
[14:52] <MyWay> yeah, thanks
[15:02] <Kangarooo> @pragmaticenigma  but how to make that each records sound into new obs? multiple users, switch users? sound to be different from each chrome tab to obs
[15:11] <plastikman> Kangarooo: there is a discord for OBS that might be a better place to discuss.  There *might* still be some users on IRC and probably in something like #obs
[15:12] <pragmaticenigma> Kangarooo: like was mentioned earlier... you're going to need to find a group that specializes in OBS... this is just to general of a chat to find that specific kind of help
[15:14] <leftyfb> the channel for OBS on this network is #obsprject
[15:16] <pragmaticenigma> I think you meant #obsproject
[15:16] <leftyfb> yup, sorry
[16:14] <alivew> hi! :)
[17:13] <jnth> mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libnppig.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:14] <jnth> it's the same with ffplay
[17:15] <leftyfb> jnth: wrong channel?
[17:16] <jnth> i use ubuntu and i've also asked on #ffmpeg
[17:17] <ioria> does mpv use that lib ? jnth
[17:18] <leftyfb> jnth: please run the following and paste the resulting URL here:    ( cat /etc/os-release ; uname -a ; apt-cache policy mpv ffmpeg ) | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:18] <ioria> sounds like an nvidia problem
[17:19] <jnth> https://termbin.com/dubk
[17:19] <jnth> ioria: i get that error when i try to use mpv, ffmpeg, ffplay
[17:20] <jnth> ioria: nvidia? but i have removed every package related to it
[17:21] <ioria> jnth, dpkg -l | grep libnppig
[17:21] <jnth> ii  libnppig12:amd64                                 12.0.1.104~12.0.1-2                       amd64        NVIDIA Performance Primitives lib for Image Geometry transforms
[17:21] <jnth> uh..
[17:22] <ioria> jnth, aptitude why libnppig12  (maybe you don't have aptitude installed)
[17:23] <jnth> yes, it wasn't installed. i installed now
[17:23] <leftyfb> uh
[17:23] <leftyfb> I do not recommend installing or using aptitude
[17:23] <leftyfb> it's been known to cause problems
[17:23] <ioria> with sudo,yes
[17:24] <leftyfb> and you don't need it to accomplish anything
[17:24] <ioria> it gives you a little clue about there's a pkg installed
[17:26] <ioria> btw, jnth i 'd investigate why you have that lib installed, and in case purge it... probably it's a CUDA thing
[17:26] <ioria> jnth, you might have installed nvidia-cuda-dev
[17:27] <jnth> ioria: i had installed some packages related to cuda, it was a very specific version and i had to sign up for nvidia developer account or something and now that i think about it, this problem started since then
[17:27] <ioria> jnth, i'd reverse that if possible
[17:28] <jnth> yes, i'm deleting it all
[17:39] <zph1nx> Hi, im trying to set up a zero touch installation iso with cloud-config/auto install, and im trying to get the cloud-config to add an rc.local script in /etc/ for bootstrapping, i've been reading the required cloud-config setting for this is write_files, but it doesnt seem to add anything on the system when i test the installation. do i need to put
[17:39] <zph1nx> down the path as /target/etc/rc.local instead of /etc/rc.local?
[17:53] <Quark> zph1nx: check user-data "write_files" on the reference: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/examples.html#writing-out-arbitrary-files
[17:55] <Quark> zph1nx: set the path to the final destination (including final file name).
[17:56] <Quark> Join #cloud-init as this is more up their turf. :-)
[19:10] <zph1nx> Quark: thanks, ill ask there, i got it up in a pastebin also https://pastebin.com/QwE9NQ4z
[20:58] <peloncho> hello guys
[20:58] <kubast2> There's some fix that wasn't backported to 22.04. plasma-discover crashes when flathub repo is present. I think this only happens when adding a flathub repo using 3rd step: https://flathub.org/setup/Kubuntu ; 22.04 repo's flatpak was used not the ppa version
[20:59] <kubast2> it crashes whenever I go to application list or search and wait long enough
[20:59] <kubast2> rather than gui option in discover
[21:01] <kubast2> I'm just going to update to 23.10 and wait for 24.04 next month
[21:02] <leftyfb> except the upgrade path to 24.04 I don't think will be out till August
[22:01] <nshirelaptop> what window theme is this? most of my desktop switched to this windows 95-esque theme randomly a few minutes ago lol https://i.imgur.com/skmiYyR.png
[22:02] <nshirelaptop> is it the default x11 theme or something? not sure what happened. I was changing some x11/gnome settings trying to get rdp working and suddenly everything switched
[22:06] <oerheks> some gtk2 stuff i guess
[22:44] <Idrogeno> Hi There.... Trying to upgrade from 22.04 to 23.10, and upgrade is failing trying to resolve dependancies..  It tells me to look at main.log but it's not particularly clear whats going on or how to resolve it
[22:45] <Idrogeno> 2024-03-27 18:41:07,866 WARNING Can't mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade (E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.)
[22:45] <Idrogeno>  looks like the culprit
[22:50] <Idrogeno> actually looks like it's nautilus related?
[22:55] <sarnold> put the log on a pastebin site and share the link, someone may be able to give more specific advice
[23:00] <Idrogeno> https://dpaste.com/47W68F6MT is the apt.log.... It seems to be circular but :shrug
[23:00] <pragmaticenigma> Idrogeno: are you trying to jump from 22.04 to 23.10, skipping 22.10 and 23.04 in between?
[23:00] <Idrogeno> I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu using do-release-upgrade
[23:01] <Idrogeno> I'm currently on 22.04
[23:01] <sarnold> man I hate these logs :)
[23:01] <Idrogeno> Yes me too :)
[23:01] <devslash> you have to go to 22.10
[23:01] <devslash> i think
[23:01] <devslash> or 23.04
[23:01] <pragmaticenigma> devslash: the do-release-upgrade will do that by default
[23:01] <Idrogeno> I changed from LTS to Normal, and this is what the software decided it should do.
[23:02] <devslash> maybe but its not 100% reliable...
[23:02] <Idrogeno> it seems to think it should go straight to 23.10
[23:02] <pragmaticenigma> it might be able to, I just know some tutorials sometimes suggest messing in the repos directly
[23:02] <pragmaticenigma> which can lead to problems
[23:02] <devslash> theres a file you can edit to determine if you install an lts version or not. maybe thats why ?
[23:03] <devslash> I mean as var as going to that version
[23:03] <Idrogeno> based on this random post, it appears the release upgrader doesn't need to go through intermediate versions any more? maybe? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1489052/how-to-migrate-from-22-04-lts-to-23-10
[23:03] <pragmaticenigma> Idrogeno: Did you add any additional repositories to your system?
[23:03] <pragmaticenigma> outside of the ones supplied by a default install?
[23:04] <Idrogeno> Over the past two years? Most likely.  The script said it disabled them for the upgrade
[23:04] <pragmaticenigma> that's what I thought you might say... and that's where I've had issues in the past
[23:04] <pragmaticenigma> it disabled them, but the packages they supplied are probably causing a conflict
[23:05] <Idrogeno> The only one that might overlap is amdgpu... but it doesn't seem like the packages overlap
[23:06] <pragmaticenigma> I'm out of my depth when it comes to removal of repos. In some cases you need to uninstall or rollback the package to the original provided repos
[23:07] <pragmaticenigma> but I don't know how true that is
[23:14] <meustation> if a removal of repositories has left some packages stranded, shouldn't one of the options of apt-get (stuff like check or --fix-broken; stuff described in the manpage) perhaps either solve or give pointers to the origin of the problem?
[23:15] <tomreyn> https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts/blob/master/foreign_packages is one way to identify potentially problematic packages or package versions
[23:17] <tomreyn> according to https://dpaste.com/47W68F6MT the first problematic package is rocm-hip-runtime (which is not available in ubuntu), which introduces a non-resolvable dependency on rocminfo version < 1.0.0.50700-45~22.04, but no such version is available in ubuntu
[23:18] <tomreyn> (though a package of the same name with higher versions is available in ubuntu)
[23:19] <tomreyn> the release upgrader lists "Foreign" packages early on in its log file.
[23:21] <pragmaticenigma> tomreyn: sadly you just missed them :(
[23:21] <tomreyn> oh, thanks pragmaticenigma, i had not realized this
[23:22] <pragmaticenigma> me either, I was just about to tag them to see if they had noticed your help
[23:23] <pragmaticenigma> tomreyn: would you guess that the rocm-hip-runtime package was provided by the AMD GPU repository they had mentioned?
[23:29] <tomreyn> pragmaticenigma: i would expect this package to be provided by drivers downloaded from amd.com
[23:59] <sybariten> hey, anyone here using zoxide? I'm trying to figure out if i can get a chronological visited directory list out of it
