fwehtfirefox notifies me that an update is available but `sudo snap refresh` shows all packages up to date?11:43
ravage1close firefox11:44
ravage1try again11:44
ravage1it should actually auto update as soon as you close firefox. but you can check with the refresh command11:44
fwehtravage1: its not working, i closed and reopened it.  but why would it auto update, i thought thats snaps job?11:45
ravage1snap does the update yes11:45
ravage1you may already have the new version then11:46
fwehti have 127.0.2-111:46
pragmaticenigmamaybe to start with, fweht how did you install firefox? did you use the software store, command line, direct download of the firefox installer from Mozilla?11:46
ravage1that is the latest available stable version11:46
fwehtpragmaticenigma: via snap11:46
fwehtravage1: ah nice!11:46
fwehtpragmaticenigma: command line11:47
fwehti only ever used thinkpads, what about the cheap chinese laptops (huawei, xiaomi, redmi, etc.) are they linux/ubuntu friendly as thinkpads?11:50
ravage1probably not. but it does not really matter which brand it is. you need to make sure the hardware is supported11:52
pragmaticenigmafweht: I would disable the "check for updates" if it was installed via snap. The maintainer should have disabled that but didn't. (Perhaps file a bug?) The application is checking Mozilla's update feed, and Firefox's direct release is 128.0.2. Released just this week. It takes time for the package maintainers to build out release packages, and so there will always be some delay in the latest version being pushed to snap, apt, and other11:52
pragmaticenigmapackage sources.11:52
ravage1and the community that tinkers with thinkpads in linux is just bigger than on a no name device11:52
fwehtpragmaticenigma: thank you, will do!11:52
ravage1the snap has the update check disabled11:53
fwehtpragmaticenigma: so when i download firefox directly, will i have a more recent version which updates itself?11:53
fwehtravage1: thanks!11:53
pragmaticenigmafweht: you will, but that isn't recommended for Ubuntu11:53
ravage1the snap usually get updated in time11:53
fwehti see, i installed everything via snap so far (and apt get)11:53
ravage1it is built directly by mozilla and pushed to the snap store11:54
fwehtyes i read somewhere that mozilla prefers snap over apt11:54
pragmaticenigmafweht: best to stick with that plan, as that ensures all the software plays nicely with your system11:54
ravage1there are some edge cases where the snap may not be perfect. for 99% of the users its just working fine11:54
fwehtis flatpak better?11:55
pragmaticenigmafweht: Mozilla does not have any official preference11:55
fwehti think on xubuntu i have both options right?11:55
ravage1that is not something we want to discuss here really11:55
ravage1you may try #ubuntu-discuss but it is not even Ubuntu related really11:55
fwehti just use snap bc it has the official microsoft code insiders package that is all :D11:55
fwehti see11:56
fwehtnot trying to discuss11:56
fwehtim happy with my setup11:56
fwehtis this channel only about ubuntu or also about xubuntu and other flavours?11:56
pragmaticenigmafweht: Mozilla's KB spends equal time explaining all options for installing Firefox. They would prefer that users choose what works best for them based on their needs and the operating system they are using.11:56
ravage1see topic11:56
fwehthttps://snapcraft.io/firefox hmmm but the snap version is 128.0.2 it seems?  why cant i install it via snap?12:04
fweht... https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/hbv5kpYy/12:05
ravage1Make sure there is no Firefox process running12:06
ravage1And then try the refresh command12:06
fwehthttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/t7aLDye9/12:07
ravage1https://p.haxxors.com/k37ow4m9.txt12:08
pragmaticenigmaIt might be set up as progressive release. It was released 3 days ago12:09
fwehthttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/ibaOGEfX/12:09
fwehtpragmaticenigma: hmm ok will keep an eye on this, thanks!12:10
ravage1that misses a lot of information12:10
fwehtravage1 you want to see the whole output? https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/geSTNcCp/12:11
ravage1ok. the only real reason that is does not update should be a running process12:11
ravage1try a reboot and the refresh command before you launch firefox12:12
fwehtok will do!12:12
ioriaor --hold was set12:13
ravage1i hope he would remember doing that12:13
ravage1not sure where that would show up12:14
ioriasnap refresh --unhold firefox12:14
ravage1info would be a nice place for that too12:14
fwehtravage1: no success12:14
fwehti never set `--hold` but i tried `--unhold` nontheless12:15
ioriafweht, snap-store --quit && sudo snap refresh firefox12:16
fwehtioria: i dont have snap-store installed12:17
fwehtshould i?12:17
ravage1journalctl --unit=snapd -f12:19
ravage1and try the refresh in another terminal again12:19
fwehtinteresting, it doesnt mention firefox here! https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/B8qAFyda/12:20
fwehtbut when i do `snap list` it mentions it12:20
fwehtah running apps sorry will close and do again12:20
pragmaticenigmathat's a lot of pids opened for someone that just rebooted their machine12:21
ioriahehehhe12:21
fwehtpragmaticenigma: is that bad?12:22
pragmaticenigmait means I have doubts you rebooted your machine, or you have something setup to launch firefox on login12:22
fwehtravage1: aah ok it updated itself in the background but not on reboot...  weird12:22
fwehti use firefox to chat here12:22
fwehtso ofc i restarted it after reboot?12:23
ravage1well. like i said you need to quit all processes12:23
fwehtravage1: yes, but my point was, snap didnt do anything, only the version changed quitly but not after my `snap refresh` command12:23
pragmaticenigmait's not going to update if any firefox processes are running. guess you will have to leave the channel for a bit and do the refressh12:23
ravage1there is a trigger12:23
ioriathat applies also to the .deb ver, not only snap12:23
ravage1as soon as you close the application it triggers the refresh12:24
ravage1that has been added with one of the latest snapd updates12:24
ravage1that is why you get that notification to close it12:24
fwehtravage1: aah ok!  sorry for taking me so long to get it.  but i think its weird that with snap list, it doesnt show something like "128 has already been downloaded and will be installed at next opportunity"12:24
BluesKajHi all12:25
=== caio is now known as Barrykad3
pragmaticenigmafweht: as someone that writes software and deals with updates... nothing worse than providing that information to users... makes for a nightmare scenario in support12:25
fwehtpragmaticenigma: but do you think my pids are unusual for a reboot plus starting firefox and terminal?12:25
fwehti didnt start anything else12:26
pragmaticenigmafweht: no, as you were instructed several times though. You need to close all of your firefox windows before snap will do anything.12:26
pragmaticenigmaat this point you are wasiting valuable time but continuing to converse, rather than try the steps and solutions provided to you12:27
fwehtpragmaticenigma: that wasnt the point, i did this, i rebooted, opened the terminal, ran `snap refresh` and then opened firefox... before that i ran `killall firefox`12:27
pragmaticenigmafweht: snap refresh takes time... reboot, do the refresh and walk away for 30 minutes12:27
fwehtaah ok!  sorry i really didnt want to waste your time.. i was just confused because of the `all snaps up to date` message..  i really tried to follow all guidance given to me!12:28
ravage1that message is totally confusing12:28
ravage1it should show pending updates12:29
oerheksthe interaction is clear, after snap refresh..12:29
ravage1also the message is just wrong12:30
ravage1not all snaps are up to date12:30
ravage1general reminder for the 128 release is to disable12:34

lotuspsychjelets hear it then13:26
ziftbut i don't like you lotuspsychje13:26
zphinxzift: so whats the question?13:27
ziftwell i'm experiencing kernel panics after trying to implement custom BPF app13:29
ziftmaybe lotuspsychje can help13:29
ziftmy issue is with the kernel debugging, namely kgdb that behaves differently in 22.04 compared to 20.0413:30
ziftand i can't figure out why13:30
ziftshould i join #ubuntu-lotuspsychje for serious discussion?13:31
zphinxAre you running an LTS kernel?13:31
ziftI am not... of course...13:32
zphinxwhats the output of cat /proc/version_signature ?13:33
ziftoh you're really trying to help? appreciate it, one moment13:34
zphinxyeah, never worked with BPF i day in my life, but if i can point you in the right direction, i would be glad to help13:35
ziftnot sure what this gives you, you want to see the custom kernel name13:35
zift?13:35
zphinxyes13:35
ziftit's based off 5.15.0-10713:36
ziftit's nongeneric of course...13:36
zifti don't think it's BPF related at all13:37
ziftit's just what triggered the issue for me,13:37
zphinxwhen you're saying "based of" what do you mean? lowlatency version? zen?13:37
ziftah, no zen here :-)13:38
ziftI wish13:38
zphinxgot a "diff" with the 20.04 vs 22.04 kgdb outputs to pastebin?13:40
zphinxAlso just so you know, these will be shots in the dark from my side, i suspect you're better of asking in an application specific channel if that exists ( probably not ) or a mailing list13:41
ziftzphinx: i appreciate the input, i have a direction now though so i'm on it13:42
ziftwe'll see13:42
zphinxbest of luck13:44
zphinxgbd output can be a b*tch to interpret.13:45
ziftzphinx: indeed :-(13:46

Guest76just talking to people15:10
mdmbkris there some syntax I can use in fstab to tell unbuntu to keep booting normally if it can't mount a particular filesystem15:10
zphinxmdmbkr: no, you need to edit it specifically15:11
pragmaticenigmaGuest76: as you were told before, this not a place to just talk to people. This is a support channel. If you want to talk to people, you are welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic15:11
oerheksmdmbkr, if there are issues with the filesystem, it might mount RO read only15:11
oerheksor not, depends on the issues15:12
mdmbkrsometimes one of my nvme devices doesn't show up on a cold boot, so the filesystem using it can't be mounted, and ubuntu halts and wants to drop to an emergency shell15:12
zphinxyeah, asking someone to mount whatever filesystems as RO seems like insanity15:12
mdmbkrthere's no reason it should be a showstopper so I'd really prefer it to continue normally15:13
pragmaticenigmamdmbkr: there is the `nobootwait` option.15:13
oerheksif such nvme device does not get detected, reseat the drive? check for bios update?15:13
oerhekshow would ubuntu force detection if your bios does not?15:14
pragmaticenigmamdmbkr: I would disable an BIOS fastboot options. Would also recommend replacing that drive as it appears it maybe failing.15:14
pragmaticenigma*any BIOS fastboot15:14
mdmbkrI think it's a bios issue? maybe? if I reboot and enter the bios all 4 nvme's will subsequently show up in ubuntu, but on a cold boot one of them does not15:14
oerheksmaybe a power issue ..15:15
mdmbkrI'm not trying to troubleshoot that though. I mainly want the system to boot normally in the event that it can't mount all the filesystems listed in fstab15:15
mdmbkrlooks like 'nofail' might work15:15
mdmbkrnothing about 'nobootwait' in the fstab man page15:16
pragmaticenigmamdmbkr: it is (or was) an Ubuntu only feature15:16
pragmaticenigmadepending on your man page15:16
pragmaticenigmasource15:16
=== tmroland_ is now known as tmroland
pragmaticenigmamdmbkr: either option, do note that anything writing to that path will write to the device that hosts the primary root of the file tree. So data written there will not go to the intended device and will disappear when the device is mounted15:18
mdmbkrthanks =)15:19
pragmaticenigmamdmbkr: ultimately though, the drive should be taken out of service as it either isn't compatible with your system or is showing sign of failing which would mean potential data loss15:19
Guest76good source15:19
Guest76there15:19
Guest76for u guys15:19
mdmbkrI don't think it's a problem with the drive, but instead something bios-related with how it's doing bifurcation15:20
oerheksnot enough juice ( read power)15:20
mdmbkryou guys seem really motivated to troubleshoot the drive.. there are 4 nvme's in the system, 3 are on an ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen5 carrier and the 4th is on the motherboard15:21
mdmbkrpretty sure the one on the mobo is the one that doesn't show on cold boot15:22
pragmaticenigmamdmbkr: that doesn't sound good. I wouldn't keep that bifurcation configuration going. At least not without some sort of data backup of the system15:22
mdmbkrit's not on the carrier because this bios doesn't do x4/x4/x4/x4, it only does x8/x4/x415:22
mdmbkrah, so the no-show drive is on the carrier, and it's a WDS100T3X0C-00SJG015:23
mdmbkron a warm boot it shows up (and subsequently works reliably for my use)15:24
toddcmay not be related but I had a simular issue  and added GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ro=10 quiet" to /etc/default/grub/ that solved my drive mount issue15:25
=== tmroland_ is now known as tmroland
Komumdmbkr: you can put 'noauto' in the 4th field in fstab?15:42
pragmaticenigmaKomu: are you asking or making a suggestion?15:43
Komupragmaticenigma: i'm asuming he allready did, and want to know what happened :D15:43
oerhekswait for the system to cool down.15:44
pragmaticenigmaIt's an interesting suggestion if it hasn't already been implemented15:46
mdmbkrit's not overheating, heh15:52
Komumdmbkr: with 'noauto' in fstab the drive will not be mounted at boot time15:53
mdmbkryessir, I went with nofail though because it is preferable for it to be mounted if possible15:54
mdmbkrsmart-log says that nvme is 32c15:55
Komumdmbkr: so with noauto what happens? is the drive mount able after the sys is up & running?15:58
mdmbkrwith noauto I would expect it not to mount until I issue a mount command15:58
mdmbkr"do not mount when mount -a is given (e.g., at boot time)"15:59
Komumdmbkr: yes15:59
mdmbkroh I'm sorry I misread you .. what happens is one of the nvme's doesn't show up on a cold boot15:59
Komumdmbkr: but it is the question, if some timing or starting is occurung,  that prevent the drive to shop up in time to be mounted16:00
mdmbkrif you cold boot the system that nvme doesn't show in 'nvme list'16:00
mdmbkrif you then type 'reboot', the drive shows up16:00
Komumdmbkr: and it worked till when?16:02
toddcthat is why I added the delay in grub so that it had time to find the drives16:02
Komutoddc: yea that's a nice work around with the grub kernel cmd-line ro=10 quiet16:03
Komumdmbkr: i would check the logs, about the device that nvme is connected with, and compare cold and warm boot, then i would play with bios settings about 'hotplug' and boot order16:07
lotuspsychjemdmbkr: sharing your ubuntu release, dmesg would also be handy in your case16:21
enigma9o7Hi I'm having problem with Frozen-Bubble.  When I select net game, it says it is unable to download server list from master server, to verify network setup or retry later.  I've actually tried both, and it still gives me that message.16:56
mdmbkr22.04.4 LTS16:56
mdmbkrlooking at dmesg, the nvme isn’t being enumerated on the pcie bus, there’s no error or anything it’s just absent17:00
lotuspsychjemdmbkr: can you share it in a !paste please?17:01
lotuspsychjeenigma9o7: i can reproduce that, net game gives the error you mention17:02
lotuspsychjeenigma9o7: starting it from terminal gives more usefull errors17:03
mdmbkrpastebin ok?17:03
lotuspsychjesure mdmbkr17:04

lotuspsychjeenigma9o7: if you file a bug, ill confirm/affect it : )17:05
NoImNotNineVolthow does xrandr work? if i set a display mode using xrandr, is that persisted anywhere?17:37
NoImNotNineVoltif i have `xrandr --output "$NAME" --mode "${W}x${H}" --rate "$F" --fb "${W}x${H}"`, shouldn't that guarantee the screen's dimensions are the same as the display dimensions?17:38
pragmaticenigmaxrandr is not persisted17:38
UbuntuUser232323This might be a stupid question but is the latest ubuntu LTS release 'ready' to be used as a VPS that faces the public internet?17:39
oerheksone could set them in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/  folder?17:39
pragmaticenigmaIf the mode sets are known they could be set there17:40
pragmaticenigmathis is all assuming the machine is running xserver to begin with17:40
NoImNotNineVoltoerheks: oh thank you. TIL there's a /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ with a bunch of stuff in it17:40
NoImNotNineVoltso yea i'm trying to do a very minimal setup where tty1 does autologin on getty and then startx17:41
NoImNotNineVoltand there's no desktop env, no wm..17:41
NoImNotNineVolt~/.xsession just does xrandr to set 4k and starts firefox or chrome, uses xdotool to send f11 to fullscreen it, then clicks on something.17:42
oerheksso no X11 running ..?17:42
pragmaticenigmaUbuntuUser232323: Many sysadmins prefer to wait until the first point release of an LTS release, as that coincides with the release of inplace upgrades for existing LTS installs.17:42
NoImNotNineVoltxorg is installed.17:42
NoImNotNineVoltand ~/.bashrc has startx17:42
NoImNotNineVolt(this box has no keyboard/mouse, i just want it to load a webpage and click on the 'fullscreen video' button. having my previously-headless server display some security camera feeds.17:43
NoImNotNineVolttrying to understand where the issue is.17:44
NoImNotNineVolti feel like there's a disconnect between the screen dimensions and the display dimensions, or that different x software has different ways of determining screen size...17:46
pragmaticenigmaNoImNotNineVolt: without a description of what you're presently experiencing it's hard to know what help to provide.17:46
oerheksif your screen does not get the right dimensions, wonky EDID or cable17:48
mdmbkrI'll share a pastebin with the two dmesg's in a little while when I have more free time =)18:05
pragmaticenigmamdmbkr: just a heads up that those that have been helping you will probably be dropping off for the day soon.18:07
alazyI'm having trouble getting netconsole to work from kernel boot parameters. Running "modprobe netconsole=+6666@192.168.74.2/enp1s0f1,6666@192.168.74.1/b8:27:eb:9a:a7:0a" works just fine; syslog-ng picks it up on the other device. However, putting that into the linux boot parameters command line (without the modprobe of course) does not work; I get unknown kernel command line parameters in dmesg.18:52
pragmaticenigmaalazy: Please do not cross post. Stick to one channel and wait for help. If someone understands your question they will answer. It becomes very difficult to help someone that is receiving information from multiple sources, which may conflict with the advice given.18:54
Komu alazy: i guess u didn't build your kernel yourself? did u added the module to /boot/ ?19:06
Komualazy: sorry the module-name should be added to /etc/modules19:10
Komualazy: check this anser: https://askubuntu.com/questions/299676/how-to-install-3rd-party-module-so-that-it-is-loaded-on-boot test with lsmod if netconsole is active19:11
topcat001I think also in case of kernel cmdline activation, the network needs to be up already. Something like `ip=dhcp` on the kernel cmdline.19:13
topcat001if the interface is not up and running by the time netconsole is initialised, it will not work19:14
alazyKomu: no, it's 6.8.0-36-generic from 24.04. I hadn't done anything special about the netconsole module. grep netconsole < /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.builtin returns nothing, nor for /etc/modules.19:15
alazyI'm still not sure how to manage modules. I can add netconsole to /etc/modules, but is adding something to /etc/modprobe.d the proper way to do it? Would adding my NIC drivers (e1000e & igb) help too? If the objective is to get messages as early as possible, should I add netconsole and the NIC drivers to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ?19:20
alazyGenerally, should modules added to initramfs also appear in /etc/modules (or /etc/modprobe.d/ ?) or would that be redundant/harmful?19:22
=== Menzador is now known as SonikkuAmerica
pragmaticenigmaideally, I think they should go in the *.d folder19:23
pragmaticenigmaassuming we're talking kernel modules, not other modules to be started at boot19:25
Komu 19:28
Komubrb19:28
alazypragmaticenigma: Just echo netconsole > modprobe.d/netconsole.conf ? I'm a bit confused about the syntax. Just write the module name, and then if it has options/arguments, write options my_module_name my_option ?19:29
alazy... on the next line.19:30
pragmaticenigmaalazy: I'm uncertain what exactly you're trying to do. My comment was based on that rarely should anything go into a standalone configuration file anymore. if there are *.d folders, you should add a new conf file there to activate what it is you're working on. This is from a more universal perspective, not just kernel19:33
pragmaticenigmathe intent is avoid the maintainers of the operating system from sending out new changes that conflict or overright custom system configurations during updates.19:34
pragmaticenigma*overwrite19:34
Komualazy: afaik u add it to /etc/modules or as a file in dir ...modules.d/* and then run  update-initramfs -k all # this is for all kernels in /boot/ then update-grup then u go19:35
pragmaticenigmaKomu: isn't it modules-load.d ?19:36
Komualazy: it is very very good to look 1st in /usr/share/doc/<pkgname>/19:37
Komualazy: there is often a  README or a short gz that has helpfull describtion to debian/ubuntu usage19:38
alazyMaybe it's starting to make sense... I don't need to add the module to modprobd.d/netconsole because that's just where options to modify the behaviour of 'modprobe <my_module> go. As I said, netconsole works fine if I modprobe it after I boot.19:53
ioriaalazy, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Netconsole#Step_3:_Initialize_netconsole_at_boot_time19:54
alazyWhat's weird is that the same string that runs netconsole from my shell isn't recognized as a valid kernel parameters when supplied in the linux boot command.19:55
ioriamaybe not every module can be set as a kernel boot param19:56
alazyioria: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt should be authoritative, and it presents this example: linux netconsole=4444@10.0.0.1/eth1,9353@10.0.0.2/12:34:45:57:9a:bc19:58
alazyDo I maybe need to add netconsole to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ?20:00
Komualazy: can u check with lsmod |grep netconsole if it's loaded?20:01
Komualazy: afaik u only need to update-initramfs -k all to update all images and update-grub to update all grub files after changing with modules + kernel parameter20:02
ioriaalazy, i don't think netconsole can be set as a kern param20:03
alazyIf I modprobe netconsole it works, and while it is working of course lsmod | grep netconsole works. I'm trying to understand why setting it as a kernel parameter doesn't work, and I'm not famliar enough with the syntax to catch what might be an obvious error.20:05
Komualazy: ok, i installed it to, 1st is lsmod working WITHOUT modprobe netconsole?20:10
Komualazy: what do u want to do overall?????20:11
Komualazy: 1st descibe what problem u want to solve with netconsole20:11
alazyIf I haven't run modprobe netconsole="<src_port...", then no, lsmod shows it is not loaded.20:12
pragmaticenigmaalazy: I think you need to explain what you are trying to do as Komu mentioned. This feels like an experiment rather than something productive20:13
pragmaticenigmaConcerning is that kernel modules run in ring 0, attaching that to a network accessable port seems rather foolish and a great way to compromise a system for the benefit of what ?20:14
alazyKomu: A system wouldn't finish booting properly so I thought I might see what's wrong by getting kernel messages over my network, but I'd have to set netconsole to run via a kernel parameter because of course I can't boot to my shell.20:14
Komualazy: 1st u check if recovery mod is working, 2nd: ename console output *no splash screen* while booting to see what is happening at boot time20:17
alazyThe documentation at kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt and a few other articles suggested this was exactly why netconsole exists. It loads immediately after the NICs are up and starts printing. But I just now noticed a caveat I overlooked - the documentation says it does that if its built-in. I thought it could be loaded as a module.20:18
alazyKomu: I could boot with no trouble into single user mode. The text flew by way too fast with normal parameters and the kernel panicked, but I coudln't see the potentially interesting lines further up.20:19
Komualazy: afaik it should be possible to put the loading into the initramfs startup and then have netconsole from there on20:25
Komubrb reboot20:25
Komudude i have to connect ethernet cable here and diving under the table 1st20:28
alazyKomu: yes, but I'd still have to configure /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d as per ioria's link. I guess adding netconsole to initramfs would allow it to load earlier than if it were just specified in /etc/modules, but I guess still not quite as early as if it were builtdin. And putting the netconsole=<src... string on the linux boot command line just doesn't work unless it is built in. ?20:30
pragmaticenigmaso question alazy ... for all the time trying to figure out netconsole... is the broken machine just stuck there and could have been fixed in this time?20:31
alazyIt's a little less broken. Some guesswork and experimenting let me boot into normal user mode with nomodesetting. But it was reasonable to think that learning how to get logs from a borked system could save time vs blind futzing around.20:35
alazyI'm now trying to figure out why my mouse cursor is invisible with nvidia 560 + regolith desktop sway20:40
Komualazy: ok, i was going after the docu from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Netconsole#Grub_2_instructions20:41
Komuafter update-grub and reboot i have netconsole loaded20:42
Komualazy: now i set up a reciver side to see what is coming in....20:42
alazyKomu: Did you put netconsole into initramfs-tools/modules? Your ethernet driver too?20:44
Komualazy: afaik the initram is getting fs, then modules in root-mount then the net etc up and running20:46
Komualazy: how do i generate kernel printk??20:47
alazyecho "Hello" > /dev/kmesg20:47
Komualazy: lol it works20:47
Komualazy:  didn't checked the reboot boot log for now20:47
Komualazy: hm strange i got a msg as i put in usb-mic but nothing as i pull out /in mouse20:50
Komualazy: also nothing with echo ... >/dev/kmesg20:50
Komualazy: i forgot a kernel parameter so not all logleves get send.. i reboot now20:55
ravage1enigma9o7: would be be okay with testing a snao build of that game? fixed server URLs and added IPv6 and SSL support for that21:00
alazyGotta go, but thanks for helping me think through why it wasn't working.21:03
Komualazy: hm, i did get some msgs but not sure how early in the boot process they come, but u can start in single user, bring network on, then u can also use netconsole-setup to config this module21:03
Komualazy: after configuring this, u can start multiuser and u should have ur log21:04
Komualazy: no need to build it in kernel ... as u can reach single user and start it from there21:04
Komubrb21:05
alazyKomu: but adding to initramfs would allow it to start logging earlier, earlier still  building into kernel, in case the error is early in the boot process?21:08
enigma9o7ravage1: I guess you're asking if I can test a snap version?  Cuz dunno what snao is :)21:10
enigma9o7But yeah I certainly could, although ideally if you are doing this you would get it upstream as far as possible too like to debian/ubuntu so that other people I wanna play against get it :)21:10

enigma9o7ravage1: ok downloading now, will confirm shortly21:21

Guest9595bprompt: ?22:10
bondkingSeems like there are many packages apt doesn't have22:11
enigma9o7apt only has access to the packages in the repositories definedin your sources.list22:11
enigma9o7and spotify is some kinda propreitary tihng so even if it was in an ubuntu repo, it'd be in the restricted section22:12
xanguabondking: did you try first to: apt update (?)22:12
bondkingI just did update/upgrade like 5 min ago22:12
xanguaand?22:13
bondkingI never had spotify so I still don't have it22:13
bondkingor do you mean bluetooth?22:13
bondkingIf bluetooth, I update/upgrade'd around the same time I turned bluetooth off/on. so one of those things fixed it.22:14
xanguafor spotify I think you need to run: sudo snap install spotify22:14
xanguabondking: ubuntu uses snaps now, remember?22:14
bondkingI would rather chew on broken glass than install a snap22:14
bondkingWorst decision Ubuntu ever made, though there have been many.22:15
enigma9o7Well spotify is also on flathub if you prefer.22:16
