Guest82hello01:00
aollinuxyayyeah i know01:02
aollinuxyayChanServ you are the best01:02
realivanjxis there a way to reliably and permanently set wake on lan on ubuntu with the ethtool? every time i set it to “g” it reverts back to “d”. tried putting it as a systemd service but it reverts back to d on every suspend. idk what else to try01:23
sarnoldI don't get into my system bios screens very often but I think i've seen it listed as an option in there01:24
realivanjxit is already enabled on bios of course01:24
realivanjxbut also need to be set on ethtool too01:24
sarnoldsome NICs run an optionbios at boot at those might have a menu that you can use to enable it, too? I'm less sure there, i've never really done much with nic optionbios :(01:24
sarnoldoh :(01:24
realivanjxif you google how to enable wake on lan ubuntu you will see what i mean01:25
sarnolddoes it revert on suspend or on resume?01:25
realivanjxnot sure but every restarts and resume after suspend it reverts back to d01:25
sarnoldif it reverts on resume, you might be able to get away with a script to run ethtool -blah either on resume or every few minutes or somethiong01:25
realivanjxit used not to reverts after resume before 24.0401:25
leftyfbrealivanjx: I just set it right before I put the machine to sleep01:27
realivanjxi think 24.04 reverts it after it resumes from sleep not before01:28
leftyfbsudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g && sudo systemctl suspend -i ; exit 001:28
realivanjxthis tutorial used to work fine until 24.04 https://www.golinuxcloud.com/wake-on-lan-ubuntu/01:28
leftyfbright, so when you put it to sleep, it puts the NIC listening for WOL.01:29
leftyfbYou don't care about it after it wakes up until the next time you put it to sleep01:29
realivanjxis there a way to put the ethtool command so it will be executed on every suspend request?01:30
leftyfbsudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g && sudo systemctl suspend -i ; exit 001:30
leftyfbmake that into an alias if you like01:31
realivanjxi mean if i suspend it via the gui01:31
leftyfbdon't01:31
realivanjxi rarely use cli unless im loggin in via ssh01:31
leftyfbthen how are you waking the laptop via wakeonlan?01:32
leftyfblaptop/desktop01:32
realivanjxit is a desktop pc first of all and i have a server on the same network that is connected to my vpn that i can log into01:32
realivanjxso i can issue wakeonlan command on that always on computer01:33
realivanjxbut since it is not a powerful pc i sometimes need my desktop pc01:33
realivanjxim thinking the new behavior on 24.04 is a regression and should be reported. not sure01:35
leftyfbwhat new behavior?01:36
realivanjxwake on lan mode reverts back to d after resuming01:36
leftyfbthat's not a regression. It never worked like that01:36
realivanjxup until 23.10 it is just restarts that reverts that01:36
leftyfbat least not with 20.04 nor 22.04 that I'm running now01:36

srcI enabled i386 because I needed trying to get something to run via wine32; I've since given up on the idea (will just use a windows vm) but can't get rid of i386; I removed all non-essential i386 packages from my system (as retrieved via `dpkg --get-selections | grep ':i386'`) but can't remove `gcc-14-base:i386`, `libc:i386` and `libgcc-s1:i386` due to unmet dependencies, I can't remove i386 while still04:47
srchaving packages installed `sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386` -> `dpkg: error: cannot remove architecture 'i386' currently in use by the database`) ; so I just seem screwed here, what to do?04:47
src(ubuntu 24.04)04:49
srcalright, solved05:15
srcI just forced it; no other way apparently05:15
srcsudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-protected {gcc-14-base,libc6,libgcc-s1}:i38605:15
srcafter which `sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386` worked05:15
junyxOh cool05:15
Fantastic777Okay...my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop is borked. The login screen is missing icons when Ubuntu first starts.05:16
Fantastic777The top time bar just displays login05:16
Fantastic777The top time bar just displays the time and "en" while the login screen is on. The profile pic beside my name doesn't show up.05:19
Fantastic777I can click by using the mouse on my name and enter the password and login but....05:19
Fantastic777Upon login, the ui is still borked. The top bar shows Activities, date,05:19
Fantastic777and the network speed (but it doesnt update)05:20
Fantastic777The other icons on the right top bar like settings, network, power don't show up.05:21
Fantastic777The screen is blank.05:21
Fantastic777The Ubuntu dash which I configured to be on the bottom is blank as well.05:22
Fantastic777I can access Ctrl+Alt+Fx terminal. Trying to read logs but its hard.05:23
Fantastic777Is there a way to reset ubuntu's desktop environment?05:24
Fantastic777I have tried doing a hard shutdown. But to no avail. The system still stays the same....05:25
Fantastic777I have tried sudo service gdm restart fron the Virtual CtrlAltF3 terminal but it just puts me back in the borked login screen.05:26
srcit'll be less work reinstalling than "fixing it" from your description05:27
srcis all I'm thinking tbh05:27
srcdon't know your backstory on why it's fucked like this, but apparently it is (also 20.04 on a laptop? need to reinstall anyways, or do you plan to upgrade your way to 24.04 after you've fixed it?)05:28
Fantastic777If I can recover the files it might be possible...05:29
srcboot from usb or cd via some recovery iso (sysrescue-cd or something), grab the data via this unto some drive, reinstall05:29
Fantastic777The way I see it.. i need to create a Ubuntu Bootable usb. Can do this from my phone but I will need a usb C drive. Time to buy a usb c drive.05:30
Fantastic777src: nice username... Any ideas on what I should save?05:31
srcaren't my files to save, how would I know what to save05:31
srcusually stuff from your home directory05:32
Fantastic777No I meant locations. What locations should I save? Besides home?05:32
Fantastic777Oh shit...its back.05:32
Fantastic777Its fine. But I will upgrade to Ubuntu 24.0405:32
src? nothing? do you want to save some apt configurtion from /etc/ to then copy paste to a new 24.04 install ?!05:32
srcjust set it all up again, and again, no idea what is important to you, save your USER data, screw the rest05:33
srcforget all config files unless they are important for reference, contain passwords, so stuff like ~/.ssh or some other important configs, but just burn the rest and run; reinstall to a new version and be sane again05:34
Fantastic777Thanks for the help..05:35

iseneNew Dell XPS15, Ubuntu 23.10. Screen brightness won't change - the program "light" used to work (on my asus running 22.04). Even setting the value directly doesn't work ( echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/dell_backlight/brightness ) - even though the value changes, there is no change in screen brightness. I have acpi_backlight=vendor in grub - to no avail. Suggestions?10:40
ravage1isene: support for 23.10 ends soon. so i would recommend to test if that is maybe fixed in 24.0410:41

jajajakokojumboI am using a xmodmap config file to swap "left ctrl" with "left win"11:28
jajajakokojumboOn Xubuntu xmodmap .Xmodmap works just fine11:28
jajajakokojumbobut on Lubuntu the setting is ignored11:28

noob64hey guys, wondering if you regularly mount drives manually, and if so why?11:32
CosmicDJnoob64: my portable backup disk is mounted manually11:33
oerheksnoob64, and what is your real question?11:33
noob64CosmicDJ but do you have to unmount and remount everytime you pack up your work station? Or is that with a Desktop PC?11:33
jajajakokojumbohttps://bpa.st/2PHQ11:34
noob64oerheks, that is my real question.11:35
ioriajajajakokojumbo, i don't know about lxqt, but lxde had its own tool to set keybindings that might override your ..Xmodmap11:37
CosmicDJnoob64: I'm not packing anything up, it's a small server in the storeroom which gets to see a USB disk from time to time... and yes I umount and mount every time the disk is connected (I have a noauto line in /etc/fstab though)11:39
CosmicDJswap umount and mount11:40
noob64CosmicDJ okay, thanks. Why would you do it manually, instead of using the files app on GUI? I'm just trying to get my head around the concept.11:43
CosmicDJnoob64: servers usually don't have a screen connected and thus no GUI11:45
noob64CosmicDJ makes sense then :)11:46
noob64It seems when mounting, you have to "mkdir" first, and then mount - is this like a temporary file that nests itself to make use of the available diskspace on the device?11:47
CosmicDJnoob64: I have a 2nd backup disk which I'm using on my Ubuntu Desktop, and no I'm not using the files app there either, the desktop backup disk is LUKS encyrpted and AFAIK ubuntu/gnome/files/whatever it's blocking the whole screen aksing for the password, so I can't use keepassxc to autotype it11:47
noob64CosmicDJ interesting11:48
noob64CosmicDJ am I correct in the assumption that you have to mkdir (make a directly) to mount first and then enter a command to mount manually?12:06
jajajakokojumboI figured it out, the menu widget didn't care, it was configured to use <left win> to open menu, and new binding wasn't working. As soon as i changed it to <alt>+<F1>, all my settings in .Xmodmap worked just fine. So LXQt works nicely with xmodmap12:10
tomreynnoob64: as far as i know, a mount point needs to be a directory. you can use an existing directory or create a new one. you can mount using the "mount" command. most of the time you need to do so as the super user.12:13
tomreynthere's also udisksctl which is part of udisks2, and can be more suitable for (restricted) user mounting. the gnome virtual file system (gvfs) framework and the gnome file browser, nautilus, uses as a backend.12:18

But might just uninstall flatpak and see if it removes half of the system14:54
ravage1Ubuntu does not need flatpak for any of its components to function14:56
oerheksthere is not even a wiki page about flatpak, use snaps14:58

leftyfbI prefer google chrome15:01
oerheksno, google chrome does not come as flatpak, nor snap15:01
