[04:26] <snappy> hi, i'm interested in anyone using ubuntu in a linux arm64 vm on Mac with Rosetta. From the guides I've read you can then install x86-64 binaries and it'll run using the rosetta emulation which will accelerate execution. The way I see it work with ubuntu is you basically add the x86-64/amd64 repositories and then apt install the packages based on the architecture oyu want. What I'm trying to
[04:26] <snappy> understand is, can you only install packages for only one architecture at a time e.g. docker.io:amd64 instead of having both docker.io:amd64 and docker.io:arm64?
[04:28] <kut> you can configure the repo to only install one arch

[10:52] <MadLamb> I'm having some issues with temperature on a Razer Blade Stealth notebook on Ubuntu 24.04. On "sensors" the CPU temperatures are floating around 95 Celsius, and it says (high +100c, crit +100c). Is this something I should change?

[11:08] <tomreyn> MadLamb: i'm in a rush, so i'll just respond that 95°C is quite high, but you need to check what the cpu is specified for. either way, the firmware should be shutting it off in case it is about to overheat, this is not something the OS usually needs to handle.
[11:09] <tomreyn> "(high +100c, crit +100c)" is what sensors understand are the margins acceptable for this hardware component.

[16:33] <patrick__> Hi, folks. I am having a problem with my window manager. I have Ubuntu 24.04. It is Wayland. I have experienced difficulties with both the emacs package from the apt repository, this IRC client from the hexchat package, and the VSCode "code" package (not from the ubuntu apt repository but from microsoft's website as a .deb file)
[16:35] <patrick__> The problem is that "maximized" windows do not work as expected. The visual display to the user of the maximized window is correct. However the response of the system to mouse input is incorrect, it is as if the application is not maximized but a free-standing window of a much smaller size.
[16:36] <leftyfb> patrick__: got anything like synergy or anydesk/teamviewr/vnc installed and running?
[16:38] <patrick__> Inside the apparently maximized application there is an invisible rectangular window where the application responds to mouse input correctly, it is a fraction of the screen. If I click outside the invisible window, then the application "behind" my current application comes to the foreground, and the current application is minimized. If the only thing behind my current application is the desktop, nothing happens. In either
[16:38] <patrick__> case, the current application does not itself act as though it received the user input.
[16:40] <patrick__> @leftyfb, no. I have Remmina installed, I think it comes by default, but I have never used it. I have a second machine also with Ubuntu 24.04 and that does not have the same problems. I have Renmina installed on that device and have used it without problems.
[16:40] <patrick__> This is a relatively new install of Ubuntu without very much accumulated junk.
[16:41] <leftyfb> check your gpu drivers and settings (resolution/scaling)
[16:43] <tomreyn> try logging in with a new user account, see whether the issue also occurs there. if it doesn't, then the issue is somewhere in your original users' dotfiles / dot directories
[16:44] <tomreyn> if it does, then it's either a matter of system (wide) configuration changes you made, or a software bug.

[16:56] <patrick__> I updated everything with Software Updater, and the problem appears to be resolved. Thank goodness, this has been driving me crazy. (I did try "update everything" already a few days ago, so I think this is a very recent fix.)
[16:56] <patrick__> Thank you all!
[17:14] <patrick__> I am unhappy with the behavior of the Software Updater tool. When I open it, it reports an error "Cannot connect to the internet - check your internet connection" I think due to a 404 response from one of the ppa repositories. When I click "OK", it proceeds to download updates from all other repositories and install them successfully. I think this is a really unhelpful error message as it obviously is capable of connecting
[17:14] <patrick__> to the internet. Is there a way to configure it to give the actual connection that failed
[17:14] <patrick__> I am unhappy with the behavior of the Software Updater tool. When I open it, it reports an error "Cannot connect to the internet - check your internet connection" I think due to a 404 response from one of the ppa

[17:16] <oerheks> and check them against launchpad.
[17:16] <patrick__> Yes, indeed. Well, I did not know that this was the problem originally, because the error does not say that there is a malfunctioning PPA.
[17:16] <patrick__> E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/avsm/ppa/ubuntu noble Release' does not have a Release file.
[17:16] <patrick__> N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
[17:16] <patrick__> N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

[17:20] <patrick__> I see what you mean that the last candidate was impish, that ppa was just what was enabled by default when i started the machine and i wasn't aware that the ppa had stopped tracking recent ubuntu releases.

[18:09] <patrick__> I am <tomreyn> try logging in with a new user account, see whether the issue also occurs there. if it doesn't, then the issue is somewhere in your original users' dotfiles / dot directories
[18:09] <patrick__> I am back, unfortunately, I was too quick earlier when I said the problem had been resolved.
[18:09] <patrick__> I followed tomreyn's advice of using a new user account. I cannot reproduce the problem on the other account so the issue is in my user dotfiles or dot directories
[18:11] <patrick__> So, okay. I am not sure how to proceed. I have some misconfiguration in my user settings which is causing certain applications to not maximize correctly, they only respond to user mouse input in a region of the screen
[18:14] <tomreyn> patrick__: it could also be caused by an incompatible/broken gnome-shell-extension you installed - if any?
[18:20] <tomreyn> patrick__: so try disabling any such extensions you may have installed, and logout and login again, and check whether it's solved.
[18:26] <tomreyn> if it isn't solved then (or you don't have user installed extensions) then logout and move .gconf/ and .config/{dconf,glib-2.0,gnome-session,gtk-2.0,gtk-3.0,gtk-4.0}/ and .local/share/.local/share/{dbus-1,gnome-shell}/ out of the way.
[18:29] <patrick__> I don't think I have any gnome shell extensions. I don't know what that is. I will move those config files somewhere safe.

[21:04] <Guest7920> hi
[21:12] <shai-hulud> I think ubuntu could gain some use/traction if it can work out some of its kinks
[21:12] <shai-hulud> It could probably compete with distros like knoppix or pupp linux
[21:15] <tarzeau> shai-hulud: how is that relevant?
[21:16] <tarzeau> shai-hulud: reducing the amount of distributions and packaging formats would help. ubuntu should just become debian, and canonical do consultancy for it. there's no point copying it ( google bailed out many many years out of ubuntu, doing debian testing and keeping it internal)
[21:24] <webchat57> This channel is pretty quiet. I can get support here, yes?
[21:25] <tomreyn> volunteer support for the ubuntu versions listed in the /topic, right
[21:26] <enigma9o7> Ubuntu is super reliable and easy to use so this channel is pretty quiet usually, yeah.  But every now and then someone asks a question.
[21:27] <enigma9o7> There have been several already today.
[21:27] <enigma9o7> Yours doesn't really count as a real question.
[21:29] <shai-hulud> I choked on my yoohoo at 'super reliable' more like reliably broken
[21:31] <webchat57> I have a big problem. It only boots into emergency mode. This happed after I tried to make a backup to an external hardrive, this gave an error so went to reboot and...
[21:33] <tomreyn> this sounds like maybe the backup you made went onto your internal disk instead?
[21:33] <enigma9o7> What happens when you try to boot normally?  I suspect the backup was unrelated, but have you unplugged that external drive to be sure?
[21:33] <enigma9o7> Also would be worth letting us know the error you did get with the backup, incase it is relevant.
[21:36] <webchat57> I have unpluged the external drive (this made less lines apper).  I barely read what the error was, it had paths in it is all I remeber.
[21:40] <tomreyn> webchat57: i think the next thing you could try is to boot a live iso / usb stick and try to access the data on the internal disk from there
[21:42] <webchat57> I don't if I still have my old one, it's been year since I first instaled.
[21:42] <webchat57> *know
[21:44] <tomreyn> hopefully you made backups successfuly sometime in those years (or a year?)
[21:45] <webchat57> No, this backup was going to be the first.
[21:46] <tomreyn> if you cannot create a new live usb stick at this time, you could also try the file system check option on the recovery menu
[21:49] <webchat57> It just worked.
[21:51] <webchat57> Well, kinda, it's not leting me log into user.
[21:51] <tomreyn> is there an error message?
[21:52] <webchat57> No. I put in my password, the spinny thing spins, a black screen and back to the user select screen.
[21:54] <tomreyn> !tty
[21:54] <ubottu> To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution
[21:54] <tomreyn> can you login there?
[21:58] <webchat57> I guess so.
[21:59] <tomreyn> well, if you can, then check if you have internet access: ping -c1 ubuntu.com
[22:00] <tomreyn> does it say 0% or 100% packet loss?
[22:00] <webchat57> 0% loss
[22:01] <tomreyn> you can now share your kernel log with us using this command:  dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999
[22:01] <tomreyn> this should print a termbin.com address you can post here
[22:02] <webchat57> done
[22:03] <tomreyn> it's done once you posted the address here ;)
[22:03] <webchat57> https://termbin.com/yfsp
[22:03] <tomreyn> that worked ... looking (will take a few minutes)+
[22:06] <tomreyn> switch back to the graphical login prompt using ctrl-alt-f3 (might be a different F key, just try nearby ones)
[22:06] <webchat57> I don't if it's relevent but this hardrive was moved into a new computer pretty recently. (also the harddrive had some bad sector)
[22:06] <tomreyn> after selecting or typing your username, there should be a tiny gearhweel somewhatere where you can choose to login to ubuntu on wayland
[22:07] <tomreyn> when hard drives have bad sectors you should replace them
[22:07] <webchat57> The gear wheel has Ubuntu Unity.
[22:08] <tomreyn> most of the time, they will just keep loosing more and more data from that point on
[22:08] <tomreyn> unity? okay, is this what you installed then?
[22:09] <webchat57> I don't know what Unity is in this context.
[22:10] <tomreyn> it defines the looks and graphical user interface of what you login to, the graphical desktop
[22:10] <tomreyn> did you download ubuntu here? https://ubuntuunity.org/
[22:11] <webchat57> Trying to log on with Unity select doesn't seem make a diference.
[22:11] <tomreyn> was there any other option other than "Unity"? what was the default option?
[22:14] <webchat57> Default option was Ubuntu.
[22:19] <tomreyn> webchat57: i suggest getting a usb stick or other external bootable storage, then install a current ubuntu version on it and boot from it, then use that to access the data on your current installation to make backups.
[22:22] <webchat57> I will have to do that tomorrow.
[22:22] <tomreyn> once those are done, you can check the disk health of your hard disk drive. if you can confirm that is is broken beyond recovery then you should replace the internal disk driver (probably by an SSD (PCIe or SATA - but SATA can be too slow.)
[22:22] <tomreyn> i meant to write "disk drive", not "disk driver"
[22:23] <webchat57> Thanks for the help.
