=== chris14_ is now known as chris14 [03:08] i recently switched from kde plasma to gnome. i want to set a wallpaper on GDM but i don't know how to do it. [03:08] are you using fedora or ubuntu [03:08] rofl [03:08] or are you just spamming every channel [03:08] fedora [03:09] and ubuntu actually [03:09] lol [03:09] 2 machines [03:09] i have ubuntu 24.04 and fedora 40 workstation [03:09] i'm assuming it's the same for either one? [03:10] gnome folks like to change things up every few months just to keep things fresh [03:11] that's true [03:11] if the packages for both were made from the same upstream gnome versions of the packages within a month or two of each other, yeah, it might be the same. but if there's a bit of skew, who even knows.. [03:12] i was thinking it might just be a gdm config file somewhere [03:12] I thought the same thing until I found this horrible abomination https://github.com/thiggy01/change-gdm-background/blob/master/change-gdm-background [03:12] I haven't got a clue what it's doing but it's way more involved than I expected [03:13] point taken [03:14] not worth the effort probably [03:15] you'd have to *really* want to do it to figure it out, I think :( [03:15] yeah not worth it [03:15] i'm headed out for the night, good luck :) [03:15] thanks for the insights though [03:15] night sarnold [03:19] my son likes ubuntu on his laptop. i prefer fedora personally. [03:19] it's just what im used to [03:19] started on fedora 8 back in college [03:20] long time ago... i still don't know shi* haha [04:07] hey gents [04:08] quick question. casual user. transitioned from the great WinBlow$ to funtu land. [04:08] do I need to setup ufw or a firewall configuration to protect my ports from h4ck3r mans? [04:09] ELI5 iptables ufw firewalls [04:09] I used to use windows defender and shiz. [04:09] brad___, default configuration already protects you. [04:09] but what if my port is wide open and some1 h4ck3r mans me? [04:10] i enabled ufw but i'm not sure how to harden it [04:11] you have to define rules [04:12] how do i block all inbound connections? [04:12] they are already blocked by default unless you open it [04:13] I suggest you try Gufw, it's easier to manage [04:16] Ufw is perfectly fine and easy to use [04:17] Once it's installed and enabled all ports are blocked until you allow a port by doing something like ufw allow 80 === remy_ is now known as Remy [04:19] brad_ are you hosting any apps ? If so I'd look into using a reverse proxy which is inherently more secure since it routes traffic [04:19] In a smarter way === five618480335 is now known as five61848033 === _ is now known as blacksnow [06:31] hello [06:32] is there a bug between ubuntu/forefox and kiwi ?

After an update (required by system) my game won't start anymore. I restarted PC, issue remains. === ch0ps3y is now known as Guest7344 [13:52] issue solved by reinstalling nvidia driver [13:55] good morning everyone (9:55 am in my timezone at the moment) [13:59] Hi, I'm getting 'N: Missing Signed-By in the sources.list(5) entry for 'http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu'' after an upgrade. What should I do about that? [14:01] Hmm, this is a LOT quieter than I remember . . . [14:52] Hello [14:52] Do you know whether the next desktop iso of 24.04 will be released ? (I need a fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/2062988 ) [14:52] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2062988 in Release Notes for Ubuntu "Desktop netboot crashes on startup due to cloud-init schema validation handling" [Undecided, New] [14:52] Thanks ! [14:55] Reventlov, no, no details about that, answer #6 gives a workaround for now [14:58] latest on august 15 [14:58] (which is the official 24.04.1 date) [15:04] yeah, it's not perfect (the workaround) as I'm looking to deploy ~ 200 machines [15:05] so manual interventions are not really ok [15:06] Reventlov: you're deploying to ~200 machines manually? [15:06] nope, which is why I'm searching for a workaround to this bug [15:07] comment #6 [15:07] because this bug prevents automatic deployment based on netbooting / cloud-init, on the desktop images [15:07] add it to your deployment process [15:07] the deployment process is broken, as it uses cloud-init [15:07] and this is cloud-init which is broken there [15:08] so, yeah, you can tell me to manage this in the deployment process but… this bug kills the deployment process (if you have other options I can take them :p ) === dstein64- is now known as dstein64 [15:27] Does anyone know why ld.so segfaults after a failed upgrade to 24.04? I can boot off USB, but after a chroot to the old system all binaries fail to run even ld-*.so.2 [15:27] the "failed upgrade" part may is a hint? [15:28] *maybe [15:28] I can't think of why the staticly linked ld.so would fail though [15:29] This causes the boot to fail too as init failes in ld.so too [15:29] restore from backup and try again [15:29] or wait a little longer to see if there is a open bug [15:30] if there is no existing bug yet it is helpful to report it [16:17] https://imgur.com/K96NyiH [16:17] just installed. how can i get it to run faster? somebody said disable animations anything else to make it run lighter? [16:18] run it on bare metal [16:19] i can't unfortunately. i need it for just a few apps actually [16:20] Hi, I'm having issues in docker machines that can't find .deb files on the server during apt install or apt dist-upgrade. Is there anything going on? === sudip_ is now known as sudip [16:22] Guest39: if the release your docker image uses is still supported an "apt update" should solve that [16:22] i was thinking to use a lighter file manager, web browser, disable animations, use abiword instead of libreoffice etc but i was thinking there could be other ways to speed it up [16:23] Yes. Give it more resources or run it on bare metal [16:24] If you want to change everything about the default installation maybe try a lighter Linux variant [16:24] Ubuntu has lighter flavours too [16:25] ravage I totally agree, but I now tried with the most recent nvcr image, and also with ubuntu:latest, and with both images, I see http errors while retrieving .deb files from the server, which looks like an ongoing issue [16:26] And what are those errors exactly? [16:26] ravage: what is the lightest? lxde? [16:27] I would say Xubuntu [16:27] i gave it 6 cores of 8 and 10000 of 16000 [16:28] ravage like this: Err:3 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 libexpat1 amd64 2.4.7-1ubuntu0.2 [16:28] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.82 80] [16:28] jammy?? [16:28] oh [16:29] That is not the whole error message I think [16:29] ravage well the whole error message is quite verbose, but I believe jammy is no longer supported. The odd thing is my dockerfile starts with "FROM ubuntu:latest" [16:30] https://imgur.com/a/298VX6z [16:30] Jammy is a supported release [16:30] Guest39, run apt update properly, current version for jammy = expat (2.4.7-1ubuntu0.3) https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy-updates/expat [16:30] Use a pastebin then [16:30] oops. not that one [16:30] https://imgur.com/3sxGcNL [16:30] there [16:30] gaelheart: what is the purpose of the Ubuntu VM? [16:31] i am using it for apps that arent available on fedora [16:31] oerhecks what do you mean by "properly", I run apt -y update and apt -y dist-upgrade :) [16:31] also [16:31] gaelheart: is libreoffice and Firefox not available on Fedora? [16:31] my son has an ubuntu laptop and i want to test things out before i commit to making changes for him [16:31] if so, why does it look for amd64 2.4.7-1ubuntu0.2 and not amd64 2.4.7-1ubuntu0.3 ? [16:32] gaelheart: testing in a VM is not a good way to test performance of any sort [16:33] for example he wants to have plasma but i wanted to see if it causes issues before i install it on his laptop and many other reasons === Jubes988 is now known as Jubes98 [16:35] oerheks I just replaced "FROM ubuntu:latest" with "FROM ubuntu:noble" and it worked but hell if I have a clue, I also don't know :) [16:36] and for me personally some apps just don't work on fedora or they are hard to get [16:37] there's a really good youtube downloader on ubuntu and it's also in the fedora repo but on fedora it doesn't work at all. just crashes [16:38] know issue gaelheart, youtube keeps changing code [16:38] guake doesn't work either [16:39] i don't use it but it's just another example [16:39] it sounds like you should be running ubuntu and sticking fedora in a VM [16:39] fedora is just hella stable so i don't want to replace it on my laptop [16:40] ubuntu is buggy as hell [16:40] but that's what he wants so that's on him lol [16:41] i love ubuntu though don't get me wrong but it gave me too many headaches [16:42] especially the app store is an abomination [16:42] lol [16:42] app center rather [16:42] gaelheart: lets us know if you have an support issues you'd like help with [16:43] thanks. i was just wondering how to make it more chirpy, and the suggestion to get a lighter flavor is great. I'm totally doing that [16:44] appreciate it as always. I get a lot of help here for ubuntu [16:44] this isn't the first time you guys fixed me up [16:45] i heard lxde was light but i was wondering if ubuntu lxqt might be lighter still [16:46] try them [16:46] just looking to save time and effort but yeah that is a good idea [16:47] i'll just check them both out and make my own decision [16:49] ok well i have a doctor's appointment to get to. I hope you all have a blessed day! Take care now bye bye then [16:49] have fun! [16:49] :) [17:39] hi === root is now known as Guest5166 === _ is now known as Guest5060 [18:01] Hi, I've been having intermittent connectivity issues since upgrading to 24.04, on the same laptop which hasn't had such issues since I first got it back on 19.10 and on every release since. I connect to WiFi just fine but after a seemingly random time the connection will just hang (not disconnect). [18:01] I'm mainly trying to get a lead on what's causing it for now, so far dmesg and journalctl haven't really provided anything that I could tie to the issue, any ideas where I could look? [18:15] Magio: any more info on that, such as what wifi card you use, drivers loaded [18:17] bprompt it's reported as "Ice Lake-LP PCH CNVi WiFi" and using the iwlwifi driver [18:23] at the moment i'm opening some url from cli with `firefox ` manually at some exact time. would there be an easier way to open at precise time .. let [18:24] i want to open at 22:03:05 for example [18:24] SkyWay: a systemd timer [18:24] ... like?

[18:36] Magio: I'd think so, this is at another layer, at the wifi driver layer, as opposed to the network manager daemon [18:37] Magio: requires a reboot though [18:41] bprompt I'll try it out but am not completely convinced it fits my issue, the wiki mentions connection drops and I don't think my laptop actually ever drops, it stays displayed as connected to the router, just loses internet connectivity after a while [18:41] Still, can't really hurt to give it a try, so thanks for the pointer !
