fuxachesI am pretty new to Linux - Ubuntu in particular. In 22.04 and 24.04 it appears that there are UFW, iptables and nftables for firewall choices. How intertwined are the three? If I enable UFW and make some rules, I will see their equivalent in iptables and nftables... But if I disable UFW, will iptables and nftables still hold UFW's equivalent rules?01:36
=== guiverc2 is now known as guiverc
rboxufw is just a frontend to iptables01:50
rboxso if you disable ufw, then theres nothing to set the rules01:50
leftyfbexcept iptables01:52
fuxachesrbox: ufw is just a frontend to iptables - It also seems that UFW is also a frontend for nftables... So if I disable UFW then the rules must also disappear for nftables as well...?01:53
rboxiptables and nftables are basically the same thing01:53
rboxiptables is usually a wrapper around nftables in modern kernels01:53
fuxachesso, if ufw is disabled, you can create rules in  either iptables or nftables and they'll seemlessly translate. The same goes for ufw, unless it is disabled...?01:54
leftyfbfuxaches: pick 1 and stick with it. Otherwise you are likely run into issues01:55
rboxwell you just disable you already see them01:55
rboxin iptables and nftables01:55
Macerthink i finally got this macbook pro in a functional state01:55
Maceri did completely remove snap from it though. i'm fine without the live patches01:55
Macerit sounds like it's beeping though. wonder what that's about. maybe noise hitting the audio controller?01:56
leftyfbMacer: you know there's more to snap than just live updates right? By default Firefox is only a snap as is gnome and thunderbird01:57
=== chris14_ is now known as chris14
Macergnome still seems to be functional .. if i bump into something that the system requires then i'll just install it with apt01:59
leftyfbMacer: if you just disabled snap (put it on hold? Disabled the service? Then it's likely you're still running the snap packages but won't receive updates to them (NOT recommended, especially for something like Firefox)02:00
Maceri uninstalled ff. i use brave anyways. and just added their repo to install it.02:01
Macerodd. i didn't really see anything related to gnome other than some gnome43 snap which i assumed was for legacy apps02:01
=== guiverc2 is now known as guiverc
Macerit looks like the majority of gnome was installed using pkgs02:06

alazy23.10. I ran dpkg add-architecture i386 to install the steam-installer. Steam works great, but now apt tries to find i386 repositories for a bunch of ppa's that don't have them and it leads to slower apt updates and messy output. I can't dpkg --remove-architecture i386 because it's in use by the database. Is there a way to tell dpkg/apt that I want to allow an exception for steam, but otherwise04:06

zy_On the tty3 interface, it pops up every few seconds, and I can't enter my account password or other commands06:36
zy_my computer is lenovo thinkpad E14 gen206:36
smoltalkzy_ even if messages are being printed to the console, they don't affect input that you're prompted for, as far as I'm aware of. You should still be able to log in and issue commands06:36
zy_No, the input was not completed and was interrupted by this. I need to re-input again.06:38
zy_Need quick input in a few seconds06:38
smoltalkHave you tried googling that error message? I imagine updating or reinstalling your device drivers might help. You might also want to consider upgrading to a later version. As far as I can tell, that laptop is a lot newer than your current Ubuntu version. Ubuntu releases don't get much in the way of backports by default (not sure if this is true06:39
smoltalkfor device drivers or just APT packages though)06:39
smoltalkI'd recommend 22.04 LTS, 23.10, or 24.04 LTS if you're feeling spicy06:40
zy_The system has been updated, I think it's a problem with the lenovo usb driver, but I don't know how to fix it06:41
smoltalkI'm not talking about updating the packages on your system. You mentioned you're using 20.04, which is four years old at this point06:41
smoltalkIf you want to stay on an LTS version, 22.04 is very stable and has a lot of community OSS projects that support it. 24.04 dropped less than a week ago. Haven't used it much yet but I imagine I might have some trouble when I run my provisioning scripts.06:42
zy_I need ros noetic,ros1 only supports to ubuntu2006:43
usuariotitle06:43
usuariohimno argentino06:44
smoltalkzy_ I haven't used 20.04 in quite a while. If you need to stay on it, you should investigate how to upgrade your device drivers--they have a separate upgrade process from APT packages / snaps / etc06:46
zy_Yes, but I can only update apt, it has no effect.06:47
smoltalkYeah there's a separate process for device drivers. It should be available on the wiki or other Ubuntu documentation.06:47
zy_I can try ros noetic on ubuntu22 when I have time.06:48
zy_Thank you06:48
smoltalkYou could also upgrade to a later version and try running ROS in a 20.04 VM via VirtualBox/etc06:50
smoltalkNot sure that would fix your issue, but at least the rest of your system would be usable until you sort out the driver upgrade issue06:50
zy_Okay, maybe it can be like this06:51
zy_thanks06:51
smoltalkzy_ one other thing you might want to investigate is migrating your project to ROS 2. Looks like it supports newer Ubuntu releases. If not, you could also try upgrading to a newer Ubuntu version and building/installing ROS noetic from source: https://github.com/ros/ros06:56
int33hhi im a little uneducated when it comes to apparmour, it seems to be interfearing with ceph atm is there a good way to allow things through apparmour07:19
smoltalkWhat have you already tried, and could you provide more information about your setup?07:21
smoltalkAlso what have you observed that leads you to believe that apparmor is causing issues with ceph?07:21
int33hsmoltalk: audit: type=1400 audit(1714374666.191:129): apparmor="DENIED" operation="signal" class="signal" profile="docker-default" pid=177793 comm="runc" requested_mask="receive" denied_mask="receive" signal=kill peer="runc"07:22
int33hi figured the denied was couse to suspect apparmour :P07:22
smoltalkMy wetware never got the telepathy upgrade, so I had no way to know until you told me :p07:23
int33hsmoltalk: :P07:23
int33him waiting for that upgrade to, also the teleportation one but procurment seems to have delays07:24
smoltalkYeah but there's a workaround for that one. If you have enough beers, you usually won't remember the trip07:24
int33h:)07:25
int33hevery time before when i played around with apparmour i just managed to make things worse, its a little blackboxy :P07:26
smoltalkint33h What have you tried so far, and what effects have those changes had, if any?07:27
int33hat this specific time nothing realy, since the former times i tried have ended in disaster i figured i ask first if anyone is good at this stuff and have some tips or links that help before i try to hammer this,07:28
smoltalkFair warning, I've never had any need to muck around with apparmor config yet. I do note though that the audit log line you shared is showing that it's using a security profile installed by docker. Are you trying to run this in a docker container? And if not, could you provide more info on your setup?07:30
smoltalkMy social engineering skills are also off, so I can't work around the telepathy problem by sweet-talking a Ring engineer to let me access one of your cameras xD07:31
int33hsmoltalk: cephadm sets up a bunch of dockers im considering setting the docker_default profile into complain mode instead of enforce mode atm though07:32
int33hbut i cannot find the profile :p07:32
smoltalkWhat I'm trying to get at is what commands did you run to set up ceph that led you to observe those audit log issues. As somebody who also hasn't used ceph, it would probably be more productive to google for this sort of thing. If you're following a standard setup process, it's likely that you aren't the first person to encounter this issue07:33
smoltalkBut if you were trying to customize your setup in some way due to non-standard hardware/etc, that's definitely a lot harder.07:35
int33hit seems not many have run ceph in 24.04 atm i had to solve other problems to get his far, cephadmlib is missing in 24.04 ceph so had to build it that from sourcepackages07:35
smoltalkOh you're on 24.04. That's also helpful. Were you using ceph on any older Ubuntu releases? If so, you weren't encountering this problem?07:36
int33hon earlier releases it was possible to use ceph:s own packages but not on 24.0407:36
int33hIts a lab cluster to test things before production so nothing is burning :)07:37
smoltalkMight be a good idea to check out what changes have been made to apparmor in 24.04 since the last known good OS version you tested against. Once you have that list of changes, you should be able to find some leads on how to dig into this problem. Searching "ubuntu noble apparmor" revealed some other user complaints about apparmor's default settings07:40
smoltalkcausing problems with docker. You could also start by checking Docker's documentation and github issues to see if anybody is experiencing issues on 24.04.07:40
int33hyea search but not much info out there yet07:41
smoltalkYou checked the docker gh repo issues yet?07:41
smoltalkWhat about reading up on the docker-default security profile?07:41
smoltalkAnd the apparmor change list?07:41
int33hit seems to be more about the docker-default profile but i cant find how to set that in complain mode instead of enforce mode since it dosnt seem to have a profile file anywhere07:42
smoltalkYeah, but that same profile is likely used on earlier versions of Ubuntu, and possibly across all target systems using apparmor. Reading up on the Docker docs for that and giving the apparmor docs a quick skim might not solve your problem immediately, but you'll pick up some new stuff that might help you later on.07:44
smoltalkOkay, new thing I learned today--multiple storage devices with the same characteristics have an arbitrary order on boot, and Subiquity's autoinstaller does not like that08:32
lotuspsychje!discuss | smoltalk08:40
ubottusmoltalk: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks!08:40
smoltalkMy mistake08:43
smoltalkLet me rephrase the follow-up as a support question then. I have an autoinstall.yaml included on my 24.04 desktop installation media, and it contains errors. It's mounted to /cdrom in read-only mode, and I imagine trying remount it in write mode while running the installer would not be feasible. I can update the installer file from another system08:56
smoltalkand rsync it over, but is there any way I can restart subiquity and get it to ignore that old yaml file?08:56
smoltalkAlso does anybody know if I need to specify a separate nvme_controller action in autoinstall.yaml for each physical NVMe drive? Curtin and Subiquity's docs don't reference this at all, even though it was generated by Subiquity's autoinstaller09:18
smoltalkerr as part of autoinstall-user-data after I did an installation with default settings + LUKS/LVM09:19
iseneMy company (software in shipping) is looking for someone who can do a couple of inspirational talks on AI in connection to our yearly hackathon. Possibly a wrong channel here, but trying nevertheless. PM me if interested or if you know anyone who could be.09:50
Macersmoltalk still trying to sort the high io wa09:53
MacerYou were asking earlier. The next step is to wipe it and try zfs encryption or maybe just focus on home dir encryption only. Could just be an issue with the MacBook controller.09:54
smoltalkMacer anything interesting in journalctl?09:54
MacerI mean I can use it. But it’s definitely slower than it should be and I didn’t encounter this sort of slow down in fedora.09:54
MacerNothing of interest. Not in syslog or dmesg either.09:55
MacerI don’t even know what I’m looking for other than I know the io is high on the ssd09:55
MacerI tried mounting with discard to trim and removing mitigations as well. No help.09:56
smoltalkWeird. IIRC you can disable journaling on ext4 partitions. Not sure if that's the case xfs, but if memory serves, it's always on09:56
MacerYeah. But this all seems over the top. Like I said fedora didn’t have these slowdowns. But fedora wouldn’t wake from sleep.09:57
MacerSuspend. The gift that keeps on giving.09:57
smoltalkAnd what was iotop showing you? I think `iotop -ao` specifically, or whichever flags show output only and aggregate it.09:59
smoltalkAlso I think I asked you yesterday but don't recall the answer: how's your memory usage looking like? I was thinking it could be due to thrashing10:00
ice9this bug is really annoying, anyone having it too? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/206409910:14
-ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2064099 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Quickly switching right and left clicks freezes Nautilus" [Undecided, New]10:14
int33hsolved the ceph issues by just disabling apparmour10:14
int33hnow keystone isnt working, seems to be quite some few bugs with 24.04 ceph and openstack10:15
smoltalkAm I missing something regarding subiquity? I was under the understanding that the installation media loaded it as a snap, but I don't see it. More to the point, how do I restart it so I can test the changes I made on the root of my installation system?10:20
smoltalkint33h while I was trying to figure out how to restart subiquity without rebooting, I noticed some apparmor denials on the snaps running on the installer setup in dmesg. I haven't observed that on my old 22.04 systems that were upgraded from 18.04 or 20.04, so I think there's probably some tweaks that need to be made there10:41
smoltalkAt this point I've blown a full day on trying to get noble running. I think I'm going to fall back to 22.04 and upgrade after the new version has had more time to bake10:42
smoltalkint33h was browsing the apparmor docs while I wait for the jammy isos to finish downloading. I imagine keystone might have some sort of dependency on apparmor given its function. Did you try deleting the docker apparmor profiles and restarting apparmor / rebooting before removing it entirely?10:49
smoltalkAppArmor only manages applications for which profiles are defined, so that seems like a safer option than deleting it completely.10:50
smoltalkint33h one more interesting tidbit while I was re-flashing install media: it looks like 24.04 upgraded apparmor to 4.0 (my current 22.04 system is running 3.0.4). The release notes [1] indicate that this was done to support some isolation features in snap, but AppArmor's release notes [2] indicate that this new version is still considered to be in11:03
smoltalkdevelopment, so that might explain some of the issues folks have been having.11:03

smoltalk[2] https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/releases11:03
smoltalkint33h I think I disconnected before I sent my last messages. You get the info I posted on apparmor 4?11:08
jp__ello, i see something weird. in a folder i have files organized according to date modified. But the value for 2 files are "ra"... Any idea what this corresponds to?11:17
Walexsmoltalk: AppArmor 24.04 works here. Note that for snaps there is the old home-dir issue11:19
int33hsmoltalk: i solved it by disabling apparomour :)11:19
Walexsmoltalk: in particular setting <tunables/home.d/site-local,conf> seems quiten important.11:20
int33hnow ceph works as it should now i just have to figure out why keystone dosnt work11:20
Walexint33h: you can set it to "complain mode" and then watch the logs11:20
Walexjp__: where does "ra" appear?11:21
smoltalkWalex I've heard reports that it's causing issues specifically with dockerized applications using default settings. int33h had such a problem and eventually tried to solve it by nuking it from orbit. He was unable to determine how to set the docker profile to complain mode (possibly because docker security profiles seem to be generated on the11:21
smoltalkfly?).11:21
int33hWalex: i tried but docker-default dosnt have a profile file to set as complain and in the end at this stage of the lab test im not worried about security. just evaluating functionality11:21
smoltalkint33h did you get keystone working though?11:21
jp__walex: as the last modified date11:22
int33hsmoltalk: not yet, just got back from a meeting so had to take a break with it11:22
ogra_Walex, urgh ... there is a system setting for snaps to poin to non-std homedirs, you shouldnt disable appamor fo that11:22
smoltalkint33h not sure ceph starts its containers, but you can specify alternate apparmor profiles when starting the containers from the command line. Reinstalling apparmor and doing that with the profile in complain mode should solve both problems simultaneously11:23
ogra_Walex, https://snapcraft.io/docs/home-outside-home11:23
Walexjp__: try env LC_ALL=C ....11:23
int33hsmoltalk: yea i was heading in that direction but i felt that nuking apparmour was quicker in this instance then unraweling how cephadm handles container start11:24
smoltalkogra_ it's int'33h having that issue, not wale'x. And he's having an issue with Docker containers, not snaps11:24
smoltalksorry for assuming pronouns y'all, my bad11:24
ogra_smoltalk, walex suggested to turn off essentially all security for somethinmg that has a proper config option ...11:25
ogra_that's why i pointed out the option11:25
smoltalkint33h but now you have a whole new problem with keystone. And if you ever get this setup running, you probably should actually have apparmor (or SELinux at least) working11:25
smoltalkOoh, alternatively you could try downgrading to a 3.x version of apparmor. Not sure how 24.04's snapd will like that, but it's another option11:25
int33hsmoltalk: yea defently but im going to nuke this cluster multiple times before that happens :)11:26
Walexint33h: another option which is better than "complain mode" is to disale not AppArmor entirely but only the profile that causes your problems ("/etc/apparmor.d/disable/...")11:27
int33hi built all my scripts for deploying a small openstack cluster so i can do repetetive tests11:27
jp__walex: what?11:28
smoltalkwalex: that doesn't work on docker since the profiles are generated on the fly. He'd have to generate a copy of the generated profiles, modify them, and make sure the containers started with those complain-only profiles instead. Downgrading seems simpler if it doesn't break snap11:28
int33hWalex: ahh so i basicly just need to touch a file with docker-default in /etc/apparmour.d/disable ?11:28
Walexint33h: except for the issue "smoltalk" reports11:28
smoltalkoh, wasn't aware of the disable subdir. Just gonna back into the bushes here...11:28
jp__smoltalk: my uni teacher was always raving about smalltalk. are you by any chance a smalltalk dev?11:28
int33hWalex: yea it was when i noticed that it was generated on the fly i nuked apparmour instead :)11:28
Walexjp__: I once got a job as a Smalltalk developer, and then after the notice period I turned up and they had switched ton Visual Basic. The horror, the horror.11:29
smoltalkjp__ nope just made it up while I was drunk for IRC handle purposes11:29
smoltalkbut yeah I was referencing the programming language11:29
jp__Is visual basic that bad?11:30
jp__I did some stuff in qbasic awhile back11:30
jp__when i was a teenager11:30
Walexjp__: run the command that printed the timestamp prefixed with "env LC_ALL=C"11:30
lotuspsychjelets keep it ontopic please11:30
Walexjp__: the strange timestamp might be a consequence of localization settings.11:31
jp__walex: the timestamp is in nautilus11:31
Walexjp__: then check if the same happens with 'ls -l'11:31
jp__nah, it shows an actual date11:31
jp__but i am still curious where the "ra" comes from11:31
int33hhmm it looks like keystone-manage db_sync fails halfway through so db isnt properly populated11:31
Walexjp__: then for Nautilus you can temporarily set in GNOME settings the localization setting to "USA" if not already set like that,11:32
jp__walex: i have been using ubuntu for a very long time now, it's my main OS. Never before have i seen this11:32
jp__I thought it might be an error code or something11:32
Walexjp__: it can surely be an error in the code.11:33
jp__haha, no like Nan or None11:33
Walexjp__: another check to do is to see if it happens running it as another user.11:33
jp__file still open or something11:33
Walexjp__: do you have a screenshot?11:35
jp__https://pasteboard.co/jvY9HMigFD0h.png11:38
smoltalkNever seen that before... maybe a script that modified that file set the wrong value? Only time I've worried about manually manipulating file times was for rsync-based backups11:40
smoltalkOh this doesn't show up on the CLI; only on nautilus11:41
int33hasking the guys in #openstack for help with the keystone issue, its wierd though should be same package as caracal cloud repo and it worked from that one11:48
jp__yeah only on nautilus11:49
jp__Very weird11:49
int33him werry curious if someone managed to get a openstack running on 24.04 :P12:08
JanCjp__: what language are you using?12:13
jp__english (US)12:13
smoltalkint33h are you still doing the "no apparmor" approach?12:14
JanCdoes it change if you make that column wider?12:14
smoltalkint33h could you try installing the latest 3.x version of apparmor? I'm not clear on what you want your lab / cluster setup to do, but you really shouldn't be rawdogging it with all the containers you're going to run on it12:15
smoltalkI'm also curious for selfish reasons to see if the 24.04 version of snap will function with that apparmor version12:17
BluesKajHi all12:17
smoltalko/12:17
jp__is openstack production ready or still a hobby project?12:19
JanCeh12:19
jp__is it working good on 22.04?12:19
JanCit never was a hobby project AFAIK12:20
smoltalkTry #ubuntu-discuss for non-support related stuff. Just saying this so the old head who already warned me twice doesn't have to do it again12:20
JanCbig companies have been using it for years12:20
jp__smoltalk: that channel doesn't even exist12:21
jp__oh wait, missed an 's'12:21
JanCjp__: does the "ra" change if you make that column wider?12:21
jp__JanC: Nope12:22
jp__but it is in conjuction with this other project. So i am using a pluging that does requests except they didn't implement any timeout so the program hangs12:23
jp__I was hoping the RA could point me towards a clue, but i am leaving it for now12:23
jp__restarted the server and it has already overwritten one of the files12:23
JanCwhat do you mean by plugin?  a nautilus plugin or something else?12:24
jp__JanC: a software plugin for a work project12:27
jp__eg; code i didn't write myself12:27
smoltalkJanC both GNOME and its apps are extendible12:27
jp__smoltalk: what would be the use-cases12:27
JanCjp__: so not a plugin for nautilus or Gvfs but for a third party program?12:27
jp__JanC: yeah, a python module12:28
jp__not really an Ubuntu question12:28
jp__But since, the RA appears in nautilus i was curious what it meant12:28
JanCso that can't really explain the nautilus problem12:28
jp__googling didn't really give me any answers12:28
jp__Was hoping someone here ran into it as well12:28
JanCcan you tell us what the actual date is for those files that show "ra"?12:29
JanCe.g. with ls12:29
smoltalkjp__ if you've added some custom extensions to nautilus, it's likely that's related. Not sure what kind of requests you're making from nautilus, but I'd recommend handling any sort of GUI-based-shortcuts in coding projects from IDE plugins/extensions instead of messing with core OS functionality12:30
JanCnautilus might have an option to show real dates also12:30
JanCsmoltalk: they just said it's not a plugin in nautilus12:30

jp__smoltalk: I only use nautilus to view the modified date on the files, as in when was the last update12:32
jp__So i don't have to open the file and check last timestamp12:32
JanCso they are both from April 25th12:32
jp__not using nautilus programmatically or have any extensions whatsoever12:32
JanCwhich is 4 days ago12:32
jp__JanC: yeah, that was it.... but the software hung and i had a long weekend12:33
jp__SO when i came in this morning it was frozen12:33
jp__which is why i wondered why there was an 'ra' at the date12:33
jp__this is a know issue, the hanging, still finding all the different places where requests are being made12:33
jp__but it's the first time it gave me the code 'ra'12:34
JanCit wasn't nautilus that was frozen, right ?12:34
jp__JanC: nope, only the program that alters the file12:35
jp__where the program froze it was probable that the file was still open12:35
jp__files*12:35
JanCthen it should not make a difference  :)12:35
jp__can't find the code 'ra' anywhere in the nautilus source code though12:35
jp__yeah, JanC: i was just curious if it meant anything or if it was more of a ghost bits situation12:36
JanCthe date in the filesystem is just a number that is a counter since January 1st 1970 on midnight12:36
JanCwhat you see is converted from that12:36
JanCI know Nautilus does things like "Yesterday" & "Today"12:37
JanCbut how it got "ar" no idea12:37
jp__yeah same here JanC: it's baffling12:38
JanCif you have other files that are 4 days old, maybe check them too12:38
JanCfrom April 25th12:38
smoltalkjp__ maybe try restarting nautilus in diagnostic mode and checking its logs when you open that directory. This SO thread has instructions on how to do so: https://askubuntu.com/questions/739998/how-to-debug-nautilus-crashes-and-issues12:39
JanC(I assume that's also 4 days ago for you)12:39
jp__yeah it is12:39
jp__https://pasteboard.co/oLgKp2kxZ4WQ.png12:40
jp__this one was last modified on the 25th. also showing ra12:40
JanCoh, it's showing day of the week12:40
JanCwhat is LC_TIME set to on your system?12:42
jp__pap_cw not found12:43
JanCecho $LC_TIME12:43
jp__pap_CW12:43
jp__think it has to do with that?12:43
jp__Jeez, why put everything in english if it's just gonna grab a random practically non-existent language for the time12:44
JanCyes, what language is that?12:44
jp__papiamento12:44
jp__Curacao and area12:44
jp__its probably what the CW stands for12:45
JanCdoes the weekday for Thursday start with "ra" in papiamento?12:45
jp__nah12:45
JanCor abbreviation?12:45
jp__negative12:45
JanCweird12:45
jp__but it's such a small language i doubt canonical or whatever knows the right abbr12:46
jp__anyways, i see for monday and wednesday is also some weird nonsensical name12:46
jp__so i'm gonna chalk it up to being a translation error in naming local time12:46
JanCyou want the date forma to be local?12:47
jp__I' gonna go do something productive cause my boss has been clearing his throat for 15 minutes straight12:47
JanCformat12:47
jp__Thanks JanC: you helped me figure it out12:47

Polochon_streethi guys! I just got a "unable to find a medium containing a live system ubuntu" trying to boot a live USB of ubuntu - however, it downloaded by itself an ISO, so I'm wondering, how do I boot further from there?13:53
lotuspsychjePolochon_street: can you elaborate that a bit14:19
lotuspsychje!details | Polochon_street14:19
ubottuPolochon_street: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel.14:19

golden_ticketHey guys. I'm trying to manage some docker containers using kubernetes. I noticed that they fail to start and I suspect it's because kube-scheduler wasn't running. So I installed it via snap and set its kubeconfig file to be a particular file. It complains that there is a permission denied error, but I set it to 777. Can someone help me figure out what might be going on?17:06
pragmaticenigmagolden_ticket: snaps run in a sandbox, you have to give the snap permission to read/write to the system (you should never have to set a file permission to 777)17:13

alazy23.10. I ran dpkg add-architecture i386 to install steam-installer. Steam works but now apt tries to find i386 repositories for ppa's that are x64 only. I can't dpkg --remove-architecture i386 because it's in use by the database. Is there a way to tell dpkg/apt that I allow an exception for steam's i386 binary and any dependencies, but otherwise stop trying to check every repo for i386 packages?17:29
pragmaticenigmaalazy: you're following a very outdated tutorial17:39

Guest80hello, how do i get the laptop to detect the tv connected to it?18:42
pragmaticenigmaGuest80: If it is HDMI, it should auto detect and you'll see the display show up in the settings control panel. If the connection is VGA, you may need to reboot the computer before the external display will show up in the configuration.18:44

pragmaticenigmabprompt: cost savings... they put DisplayPort on it instead. the OP mentioned that the adapter they were using for DisplayPort to HDMI quit working. They are trying to use a USB-to-HDMI adapter instead. The USB adapter uses a protocol called DisplayLink. Which the driver uses a framebuffer to send data over the USB connection to a chip that converts it to HDMI signal19:02

gordonjcpyou'll need to set your PC to the correct refresh rate, if the TV is blank19:07
pragmaticenigmaGuest80: my first choice would have been to replace the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. If you did that and it still didn't work, you're probably looking at a broken port on the laptop. There are no other adapters that natively work on linux as an alternative option19:08
gordonjcpTVs are crap and generally - unless it's an LG TV or at least LG-manufactured chassis, it will not attempt to work at the wrong resolution19:08
