[01:04] <quique> hey folks, I have a Ubuntu 22.04 desktop with the latest updates takes about to 2 minutes after I enter my userid/password to login, unlocking the screensaver takes almost nothing
[01:04] <quique> I am using the wayland display
[01:04] <quique> it seems rather odd to me, isn't it?
[01:05] <quique> oh... not wayland, X11.
[01:08] <sarnold> sigh
[01:08] <sarnold> no patience this guy
[01:12] <quique> hello, just tested again, 2'17" to login after a full logout. that can't be good
[01:12] <sarnold> quique: does this look like your thing? it's a wild shot in the dark .. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2059847
[01:12] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2059847 in mutter (Ubuntu Mantic) "Input lag or freezes on Nvidia desktops with X11 after logging 'MetaSyncRing: Sync object is not ready -- were events handled properly?'" [High, In Progress]
[01:13] <quique> let me check the journal log
[01:15] <quique> this is auth.log https://dpaste.org/pa2BU
[01:19] <quique> no, the MetaSyncRing messages do not show up
[01:19] <sarnold> oh dang. sorry for the distraction then :(
[01:24] <quique> rebooting to test under wayland
[01:32] <quique> much faster login under wayland
[01:32] <nshire> does ubuntu play nice with dynamically expanding virtual disks or do I need to allocate everything all at once for the partition
[01:35] <quique> in my experience expanding the disk size in Ubuntu is easy
[01:35] <nshire> it's the root filesystem
[01:36] <rbox> what is a 'dynamically expanding virtual disk'
[01:37] <rfm> virtualbox has them, the difference is whether it writes all the blocks at once at creation or does it as the vm writes to the disk
[01:38] <rbox> the OS doesnt' care about that
[01:39] <quique> well, tough life, barrier does not work well on Wayland, so... slow logins are in.
[01:45] <rfm> nshare, the dynamic disk will work just fine with Ubuntu (I always use them).  There are situations where preallocation might be worthwhile, like the underlying disk fills up a lot and you don't want the VM to suffer, but they're pretty rare..
[02:29] <nshire> hm so I'm trying to run a tf2 server, but I get the error "Package steamcmd is not available, but is referred to by another package." when I try to install the server manager
[02:29] <nshire> I am on ubuntu server 23.10
[02:29] <rbox> what command are you typing
[02:30] <nshire> could this have something to do with the removal of 32 bit support? I had to `dpkg --add-architecture i386` earlier as part of setup
[02:30] <nshire> rbox, `sudo apt install steamcmd`
[02:30] <nshire> "E: Package 'steamcmd' has no installation candidate"
[02:31] <rbox> sounds like there is no package named that
[02:32] <nshire> oh it's there
[02:32] <rbox> lol
[02:32] <nshire> forgot I had to `sudo apt update`
[02:32] <nshire> after adding i386
[02:50] <nshire> hmm now getting "E: Unable to locate package libncurses5:i386"
[02:57] <nshire> I'm on https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libncurses5 and I don't see a package for 23.10 (unless I'm blind)
[02:57] <rbox> darn
[02:58] <nshire> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025964
[02:58] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Debian bug 1025964 in libncurses5 "libncurses5: Drop libtinfo5, libncurses5, libncursesw5" [Wishlist, Fixed]
[02:59] <JanC> https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libncurses6 is there though
[03:00] <JanC> sounds like you are trying to install some outdated software
[03:02] <nshire> team fortress 2 was released in 2007
[03:02] <JanC> libncurses6 was already the default in 20.04 LTS (and maybe even before that?)
[03:02] <JanC> well
[03:03] <nshire> unclear if there is a breaking change between libncurses 5 and 6
[03:03] <JanC> you could try...
[03:05] <nshire> should I just downgrade to 23.04?
[03:05] <nshire> or maybe 22.04 lts
[03:05] <nshire> this is a fresh system so while I would prefer to not fully reinstall everything it is an option
[03:05] <JanC> 22.04 still has ncurses5 available, so that might work
[03:07] <JanC> it might be possible to rebuild v5 for newer Ubuntu also (locally or in a PPA)
[03:08] <JanC> I assume you can't rebuild TF2...
[03:08] <nshire> nope
[03:08] <nshire> they came out with a new update recently including new engine support with 64bit support, so it's possible the new libncurses version will just work
[03:28] <nshire> "WARNING: Failed to load 32-bit libtinfo.so.5 or libncurses.so.5. Please install (lib32tinfo5 / ncurses-libs.i686 / equivalent) to enable readline."
[03:29] <nshire> it looks like it is running ok otherwise
[06:56] <Jim`> where was the release party chan
[06:59] <Bashing-om> !party
[07:12] <jadeia> Need to update the topic on @ubuntu-release-party
[08:30] <vincejv> hello so i'm having this issue across several linux distros incl ubuntu, when a samba mount goes offline for whatever reason (restart crash shutdown) i can't remount it again without restarting ubuntu pc that mounts the share, there anyway to fix this? i tried "umount -a -t cifs -l", remounting it causes the error "mount(2) system call failed: Host
[08:30] <vincejv> is down."
[08:30] <vincejv> however the host is not down, i can actually access the samba share on another computer
[08:48] <doosboox> will 23.04 be a the next LTS?
[08:49] <lotuspsychje> no doosboox
[08:50] <doosboox> I meant 24.04 😆
[08:50] <doosboox> sorry
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> !noble | doosboox
[09:01] <doosboox> jeebus... 40th release. I still remember when the first one was announced
[09:34] <rock8787> my first linux was ubuntu in 2008 on a mac mini core duo
[09:34] <mandem0110> rock8787, cool.... do you have a support question?
[09:34] <rock8787> no
[09:35] <mandem0110> rock8787, /join #ubuntu-offtopic then

[11:45] <vimflair> hi everyone
[11:46] <azidhaka> Hi everyone, a little help with permissions that do not want to be set? Trying to chmod -R g+w to add group write permissions to a dir tree, but nothing happens: https://p.ip.fi/objb
[11:47] <resetti> azidhaka: can you not try with sudo?
[11:48] <azidhaka> resetti: i am root :)
[11:48] <resetti> also try a verbose output with -v
[11:48] <azidhaka> resetti: didn't know about -v, will try it
[11:54] <azidhaka> resetti: just found the problem, part of the path is symlinked to another location, i guess chmod does not traverse those
[12:51] <tennisanders> i use xfreerdp to connect to a remote Windows 10 machine. But the connection seems to degrade by use/reconnections during the day. I might rdp to it a couple of times during the day and eventually it will start performing very choppy and start disconnecting. A reboot of my ubuntu machine always solves this strangely. What might be causing it
[12:59] <pierrej> bonjour, debutant sur lubuntu, j'ai cree à l'installation un mdp "administrateur" que j'ai deja oublié... Visiblement j'en ai besoin pour configurer plein de choses. Comment le reinitialiser ? faut-il refaire toute l'installation ?

[18:19] <MyNyNickIsNotTak> Hello. I'm trying to find out why my Telegram cryptocurrency bots are locked, for commands. Any suggestions? Or other chat rooms/network channels?
[18:21] <oerheks> find the support channel for that Telegram cryptocurrency bot?

[19:17] <gem_cat> is there a way to kill the dimming featur (mousover focus)
[19:21] <gem_cat> I installed the previous Ubuntu on my laptop and it is wonderfully better looking but no longer supported
[19:25] <gem_cat> I know I am not the only person who found this 'improvement' totally hateful but I am due for cateract surgery and the dimming thing seems totally evil.
[19:34] <younder> Isn't there a accessibility menu which caters to the visually impaired?
[19:34] <tomreyn> gem_cat: which ubuntu versions are you referring to there?
[20:19] <forensicZip> Hi Linux ppl, you are my favorite kind.
[20:21] <forensicZip> I am finishing up making an Ubuntu package, for general availability. From my research, PPA seems easiest route. Has anyone here following the exciting journey of being an upstream dev?
[20:28] <leftyfb> forensicZip: the first step is to get it into Debian
[20:34] <tomreyn> snap would be another option
[20:41] <JanC> well, a PPA as a first step isn't bad, then try Debian indeed
[20:53] <irgendwer4711> hi, is there any know problem with dovecot, pam and yescrypt in shadow in Ubuntu 22.04?

[21:05] <david_> Hi! Thanks, just trying to know if it works :)
[22:07] <ice9> I have ubuntu 24.04 and the latest firefox and some videos in firefox has broken sound
[22:09] <ice9> same videos in chrome plays fine
[22:15] <tomreyn> 24.04 is not released, so i don't think you have it
[22:15] <tomreyn> !next
[22:51] <volum> can ubuntu switch windows with a three finger trackpad gesture?
[23:19] <tomreyn> volum: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/touchscreen-gestures.html.en is what gnome-shell supports OOTB. some of these may only work on wayland, not Xorg. there are several gnome-shell-extensions which add more gestures and make them more configurable, also for Xorg.
[23:20] <tomreyn> i assume "Switch Application" is what you wanted. note there is also "switch workspace".
[23:20] <volum> yes
[23:20] <volum> the switch application gesture listed there sounds rather odd
[23:20] <volum> i shall try it next time i have ubuntu up and running
[23:21] <volum> "Hold three fingers on the surface while tapping with the fourth"
[23:22] <volum> i was hoping for "drag three fingers left/right to select an app" but perhaps there is a gnome-shell-extension that does this, as you suggest
[23:23] <volum> tomreyn ^
[23:24] <tomreyn> a quick web search there listed several extensions, some of which provided configurable gestures.
[23:25] <volum> ok. thanks tomreyn
[23:26] <tomreyn> keep in mind that, generally, gnome-shell-extensions have the ability to make your desktop act unreliable, so choose well.
[23:27] <volum> yeah i am very reluctant to tweak (hence ubuntu, actually)
[23:31] <volum> the idea is to have a nice desktop install of ubuntu on a usb flash drive so that i can troubleshoot staff laptops
[23:32] <volum> e.g. test peripherals/network, run lshw, etc.
[23:32] <volum> and i'm trying to replicate my windows 11 muscle memory onto mantic
[23:37] <tomreyn> make it an usb ssd, not a 'simple'/cheap flash drive.
[23:38] <volum> ok. i can do a sata ssd wiith a separate sata to usba adapter
[23:38] <tomreyn> btw. 24.04.0 LTS releases today / tomorrow (depending on your time zone), so maybe focus on that instead
[23:38] <volum> oh cool
[23:41] <volum> i'm utc+10 and i'll download it tomorrow morning (+22h)
[23:45] <tomreyn> i was rather thinking of an usb 3.1Gen2 ssd with a usb-a/c connector btw. but this is probably more of a topic for #hardware.
[23:45] <tomreyn> (or 3.2gen2 even)
[23:46] <volum> yeah i could just buy
