sarnoldPruners: that's your loopback interface "lo" -- there's 2^24 IP addresses in the range 127.0.0.0-127.255.255.255 and they all mean "localhost" -- the scope host means that packets sent to those addresses aren't going to leave the computer00:05
PrunersI was logging in to the server successfully, but that was at another location, when I moved the machines here the IP addresses probablly changed.00:14
PrunersI put in my command      ssh  [my user name]@[the name assigned to my server] and it just nothing happens after some minutes it times out.   Does that mean the server is not on the network?  I have the server plugged into the network via ethernet cable.00:16
RickyRat5005Well, do you have the same subnet in both locations? Did the server have a static IP?00:17

sarnoldPruners: it could be a wifi router thing not letting wifi devices talk to wired devices or lots of other reasons :/00:20
PrunersIt's just my router, the two machines on same network, its not like outside on the internet somewhere, they're right here.00:28
sarnoldevery now and then one of my machines will get a new ip address00:29
sarnoldone doesn't have a monitor attached to it, and others are downstairs, so even if they do have a monitor i'm not inclined to walk up and down ..00:29
Prunershmmm that's interesting sarnold " it could be a wifi router thing not letting wifi devices talk to wired devices" what if I connected my two computers directly to each other with ethernet cable?00:29
Pruners...eliminating the router completely...00:30
sarnoldso i'll use nmap to try to find it, nmap --open 192.168.0.1/24 -p 22   -- that'll look for open sshd servers on the network. then I just try the ones that are reported until I find the one I want. it's not ideal. but doing a better job requires a lot more work :)00:30
RickyRat5005Do you have a crossover cable? LOL00:30
sarnoldPruners: in that case you'd need to manually assign IP addresses so they could talk; it's not the worst, but it takes some effort. *maybe* the auto-assigned ipv6 addresses would be enough? I haven't tried :(00:30
sarnoldRickyRat5005: gigabit ethernet auto-senses, there is almost never a need for crossover cables these days :D00:31
Prunersright, I usually run my server without a monitor, like you do.  although I happen to have it attached to a monitor this evening, the server did boot up and presented with a login, but perhaps it isn't really up and ready?  I should probably restart it and watch to boot up and make sure its really up.  All the fancy commands aren't going to work if it ain't fully up!00:31
PrunersLet me use that paster you recommended and paste the response I'm getting that might help you offer some insight.00:32
PrunersI do have a crossover cable but I'd have to look for it.00:32
RickyRat5005That was a joke... I wouldn't connect them together. Just run the command and paste the output here.00:35
Prunersyeah well its pretty desperate to think of looking for a crossover cable.  But I'm pretty close toi desperatin!00:40
PrunersI ran a command ssh  and that command produces00:44
Pruners11 results, two of which are names I assigned to my server, does that mean the server is up and running and on the network?  or does that just mean something else and doesn't prove the server is up and on the network?00:45
sarnoldit sounds promising that you could either ssh to that named machine, or one of the IP addresses that machine appears to have00:46
Prunerslike,   username@[IP address]     ?00:49
sarnoldyeah00:49
Prunersyes that DOES sound promising.  There's only approximately four IP addresses going on in the network [I believe] so four attempts should throw the hat on the bull's horns, so to speak.00:50
Prunersthanks for your help this evening.  I'm going to hit the hay and pick this up again in the morning.02:08
nicepetehello all, hopefully a simple question - i co-installed KDE next to my ubuntu Gnome install and, didn't like it much. Now i've removed it, but it still loads another login screen where i select a desktop session. Can I get it back to normal without re-installing ubuntu? some cursory googling has come up with some stressing looking commands and answers04:05
nicepetefwiw i still appear to be inside a KDE environment in terms of cursor, menu icons, minimize/maximize/close on the top right of windows, etc04:06
nicepetethe command i ran was "sudo apt-get purge kde-full kubuntu-desktop" as i installed kde-full04:08

webchat81Hi, just wanting to report that the Asus USB-AX55 USB is not being recognized in Ubuntu 23.10 as the RTL8832BU under the 8852 driver in the Linux Kernel. This is during the live install, so I suspect that the driver maintainer needs to update their device ID's in the driver in order to have it be recognized. lsub shows that the device is recognized11:48
webchat81as existing, but no driver is loading for it. running modprobe rtl8852* yields no resulting working driver.11:48
webchat81I'm currently not on Ubuntu at the moment, because no driver, but I thought someone should know.11:48
lotuspsychjewebchat81: realtek drivers are known for being flaky/picky on specific kernel versions11:49
lotuspsychjewebchat81: wich kernel version does this occur for you?11:49
webchat81It's whatever the current 23.10 iso came with, during the live environment.11:50
webchat81I didn't uname -r it.11:50
lotuspsychje!info linux-image-generic mantic11:50
ubottulinux-image-generic (6.5.0.27.27, mantic): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Built by linux-meta. Size 10 kB / 16 kB. (Only available for amd64, armhf, arm64, ppc64el, s390x.)11:50
lotuspsychjewebchat81: what you could do, is test a 22.04 live or an early 24.04 beta iso to see if it works by default11:51
webchat8122.04 live doesn't even have the rtl driver package installed by default, so no go there. I can try the 24.04 beta then and see if that works.11:52
lotuspsychjewebchat81: 24.04 has kernel 6.8 currently, so that could be interesting to test11:52
webchat81That's not even on Arch Linux's installer iso, so that's fun.11:53
webchat81Last i tested, which was a few days ago.11:53
bittin__webchat81: it is11:53
bittin__Current Release: 2024.04.0111:53
bittin__Included Kernel: 6.8.211:53
webchat81At least now.11:54
webchat81Wasn't when i tested it.11:54
bittin__ah11:54
webchat81Lets see how 6.8 fairs.11:54
webchat81To be fair, that wifi adapter is pretty dang new, despite that chipset having been out for a little while.11:56
webchat81Asus being Asus I suppose with their idents.11:56
webchat81Appreciate the suggest Lotus.11:57
unixbeardHi!  I just updated to 6.5.0-27-generic, and I'm getting load averages over 2!  I think it might be related to my 3060 and nvidia, but changing drivers doesn't seem to help.  top/htop show no process eating CPU.  Help?12:22
unixbeardI'm running Ubuntu 22.04.12:22
lotuspsychjeunixbeard: check your journalctl -f logs in realtime to find a possible cause12:23
unixbeardlotuspsychje: nothing stands out there, but, I am watching.12:24
dreamonhello. is there a tut to follow, conversion mbr to gpt of my ubuntu 18.04 without reinstallation..?12:44
BluesKajHi all12:44
Walexdreamon: your nickname is very appropriate to "without reinstallation". That is only supported across "consecutive" versions IIRC.12:45
Walexdreamon: and sometimes it is not successful if the system has been customized in unexpected ways.12:45
dreamonWalex, nice. but my question was is there a tut.. I'm ready to invest time for it. if it fails I go one till it works. might be I loose a lot of time. maybe .. no problem12:50
vltdreamon: Something that *might* work: Boot a live system, ddrescue the partitions you’d like to keep, create a GPT table and the partitions, write back the contents of the partitions (while keeping an eye on sizes, you might have to resize2fs here and there), mounting the root file system from the new partition, chroot there, run update-grub or whatever it was back in 18.04, reboot and see.12:50
vltddrescue everything back if that failed :D12:50
dreamonI've made backups.. ddrescue already done. does 18.04 runs on uefi? or do I have to upgrade first?12:52
ogra_dreamon, this is a very advanced task and extremely risky, i'd recommend taking proper data backups, do a fresh install with proper GPT table and play back the data ...12:52
dreamonmy new lenovo notebook dont work on mbr anymore..12:52
vltdreamon: I don’t remember the 18.04 times :D  You have a lot of trial and error before you. Good luck!12:53
ogra_UEFI has been used since 14.04 or 16.04 so 18.04 will definitely use it if you did not force legacy mode in the BIOS settings12:54
dreamonwrite back the contents of the partitions → whats best way to copy (rsync) some special options needed?12:55
dreamonI love linux stuff, every second is a good second for extend my knowledge ;)12:57
leftyfbdreamon: this is a perfect time to install the latest LTS (22.04) since 18.04 is End of Life and unsupported12:57
dreamonleftyfb, yes. maybe It might be better to upgrade first on my old laptop and after that I transfer to new one and convert to uefi.12:58
leftyfbdreamon: install from scratch if you need UEFI12:59
dreamonnono.. thats no option for me.. I need all my installed programms. I made so many things.. from scratch.. it like say my son is wrong, i make it from scratch. ;)13:03
vltdreamon: I specifically mentioned dd(rescue) because that way you keep all the file system UUID, LABEL, or similar data that might be relied on by your kernel cmdline, initrd, or /etc/{crypt,fs}tab ...13:03
leftyfbvlt: dd'ing from one drive to another will in no way help with "converting" MBR to UEFI13:04
dreamonvlt, good hint. I know13:04
vltleftyfb: Right, but dd’ing a file system from an old to a new position.13:05
vlt(position or partition)13:05
leftyfbdreamon: reinstalling from scratch is a good way to extend your knowledge. Especially if you add something like ansible to help with rebuilding your system exactly the way you had it13:06
gordonjcpI never attempt to rescue systems13:06
gordonjcpblat it, reinstall it, restore from a backup13:06
vltdreamon: And another tip from experience: sfdisk has a --move-data option but for me that always turned out to be wayyyyy slower that dd’ing the data back and forth.13:07
vlt*than13:07
gordonjcppeople get a bit preachy and "oh but if you just used <insert favourite deliberately-hard-to-use distro here> you'd learn so much more about Linux"13:07
gordonjcpbut I don't want to learn so much more about Linux13:07
gordonjcpI honestly don't care to13:07
gordonjcpI've been using it since kernel 0.913:08
vltgordonjcp: Yeah, we’re all different ;-)13:08
leftyfbreinstalling is a great way to get rid of cruft and things you installed but don't actually need or want anymore13:09
gordonjcpvlt: I do realise the extent to which this makes me sound like a crabbit old git, and I make no apologies13:10
gordonjcp*apologies13:10
gordonjcpI just consider it a far more valuable lesson to learn that you should know how to back up and restore13:10
gordonjcpalways have a couple of good backups13:10
gordonjcprather than learning how to grovel around in borked filesystems to cobble the system back together13:10
dreamongordonjcp, restore what? documents.. easy stuff.? my list is endless long.13:11
gordonjcpdreamon: all the apps installed, all the system settings, all the user settings, any locally-stored user data (mostly massive video files)13:12
dreamonI did it once.. never more. I lost to much stuff that I tweaked long time a ago.. no thanks.. no option for me13:14
gordonjcpI don't really "tweak" things13:14
leftyfbdreamon: you should look into ansible13:14
gordonjcpdefinitely13:14
gordonjcpwhatever OS I'm on I generally just go with the defaults, except in Haiku because the mouse is crazy fast13:15
leftyfbdreamon: I spent a couple days writing a playbook to build my system from scratch. I bought a new laptop recently and was able to get my system back exactly the way it was from a fresh install in just a couple minutes13:15
leftyfbdreamon: either way, "converting" from MBR to UEFI is non-trivial and not suggested. I'm also curious as to why you think you need to do so13:15
gordonjcpleftyfb: mmm13:16
gordonjcpyeah13:16
gordonjcpthat's got failure written all over it13:16
gordonjcpdreamon: tell you what, if you convert from MBR to UEFI on a currently running system I can guarantee you will not be bored for the rest of the afternoon13:17
gordonjcpdreamon: you might wish you were still only bored, but you won't be13:17
RickyRat5005Is there a compelling need to convert? Just curious as to what the goal is?13:18
dreamonno problem. I will get it done .. thank you guys for your help13:19
ogra_gordonjcp, s/afternoon/month/ ?13:22
gordonjcpogra_: possibly13:26
ogra_🙂13:26
gordonjcpthere's a bit over two weeks left13:26
gordonjcpthat reminds me, I've got about 1500 miles and two on-call shifts to claim for13:27
ogra_yeah ... could just fit ...13:27
RickyRat5005I recently installed Ubuntu 23.10 and expected to be able to use the TPM for disk encryption, but I still have to put in a password at bootup, so I must have missed a step. Is there a guide or walkthrough somewhere for installation with TPM?13:28
ogra_RickyRat5005, it should just use it if you ticked the box in the installer (and didnt do any manual partitioning i think)13:31
ogra_and indeed your HW needs to be fully compliant (only TPM 2.0 is supported)13:31
RickyRat5005AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D × 32 so it should have TPM13:34
RickyRat5005Maybe I need to change something in BIOS....13:35
RickyRat5005MB: ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI13:35
ogra_yeah, the BIOS options also play a role ...13:37
ogra_(i.e. you need to have RAID turned off ... etc)13:37
ogra_theer are some discussions at discourse.ubuntu.com around it, where people point ouot what they had to turn off/on13:38
RickyRat5005Thanks, I'll take a look13:38

fred202hi - i have a hd as a storage - i would like to have it passworded for access - how to ?? - thanks.16:43
fred202without encrypt16:44
=== ch0ps3y is now known as Guest1169
tomreynfred202: you would like to have to enter a password when you connect a hdd, but not have the data stored on it encrpyted?17:00
tomreyni don't see what this would accomplish17:00
fred202yes - its already installed as a hd - but non passworded. thanls17:00
tomreynwhat's the goal there?17:01
fred202password the hs17:01
fred202for connection view17:01
fred202mounted view17:01
tomreynhmm, i don't think i understand.17:01
fred202to mount the hd - i would like to have to enter a password17:02
tomreynyou could maybe make it so that connecting this very hdd to this very computer with this ubuntu installation and configuration would prompt you for a password. but connecting the same hdd to another computer would then not prompt for a password. what would you have achieved that way?17:03
fred202kind of like gnome encrypt17:03
fred202the hd is installed and used as storage- i just want a password to access17:04
lotuspsychjemaybe fred202 wants to prevent other users of the pc, not access the data on his HD17:04
fred202exactly17:04
lotuspsychjea case for chmod?17:04
tomreyn"gnome encrypt" is not something i'm familiar with (maybe you're referring to the Gnome GUI for cryptsetup / dmcrypt-luks)17:04
fred202yes17:05
fred202true17:05
fred202i can use gnome encrypt- but warns i can not use outside programs to view data17:06
tomreynchmod would still not prevent someone from taking the disk and connecting it to a different computer where they can then read it.17:06
fred202exactly17:06
fred202good shot thos lotus17:06
fred202seems to basic for us to conceive17:07
fred202so, my only avenue is to use a portable device ?17:08
fred202why not make my hs see itself as a portable device ??17:08
fred202hd17:09
fred202interesting17:09
fred202ubuntu's next venture - making se of17:09
fred202use17:10
tomreynif you want to prevent access to data on that disk, you have three mechnisms you can make use of: hardware/firmware based disk encryption (OPAL) - I would not recommend this -, block device encryption (dmcrypt-luks/veracrypt) - where i would not recommend veracrypt, and file system encryption (some file systems offer it as a core feature, others allow of adding it on-top). finally, you could have single encrypted files.17:10
