[12:14] sure it is software that has access to your home directory [12:15] or your whole system if you run it as root [12:16] I think I got hacked then [12:16] lol [12:16] I installed it with sudo [12:17] and removed it again [12:17] .deb's install scripts run with superuser permissions. so better don't install them from untrusted sources.

Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup, !borg, and !cloning [13:31] Thanks ubottu [13:31] Is it possible to back up multiple users at once, or must we do one by one? [13:33] simon_: you can try using sway + wayland, and a very simple web browser [13:33] lubuntu seem to work [13:34] lubuntu is using 1300 mib [13:36] can I somewhere upload a picture so you can tell me whether it is ok or not tomreyn [13:37] simon_: a picture of what, and wtell you what is ok? you can upload images at imgur.com, for example. [13:37] 2 times top [13:37] hi [13:37] in terminal :d [13:37] noob37: if the backups tool runs as root, it can access any directory, including multiple users' home directories. [13:38] I think those new graphics drivers [ROCm] ruined my machine. Is there some command to reinstall all the system stuff in ubuntu, from kernels to device drivers? [13:38] simon_: i won't be able to provide a better answer than i already did. [13:39] SamuelMarks: not a single, universal, command. but you could use apt to uninstall any *rocm* packages as well as any unwanted kernel images you have installed. [13:39] I've already removed all the graphics drivers and am running kernel 6.10.2 [13:40] https://imgur.com/a/I1R8eUD tomreyn this is what it looks like [13:40] ohhh but I see the problem [13:41] when not running vm I already am using 5000 of my ram [13:42] that really sucks [13:42] running a graphical VM on this system isn't going to be fun. you could run ubuntu server in a vm, but that, too, will likely cause it to swap. [13:42] I tried `sudo apt reinstall ubuntu-desktop` but it only did one package. I want GNOME and friends to be reinstalled because something is wonky. E.g., software updater GUI doesn't load, other GUI software doesn't show dialog boxes, machine is running with fans on always [13:43] tomreyn: is there anotherway to isolate simplex from my system it is an app [13:44] but you also said I could use sway? [13:44] oh here we go getting some errors now: "\libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate" "MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev" "libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen" "libEGL fatal: DRI driver not from this Mesa build ('24.2.0-devel' vs '24.0.9-0ubuntu0.1')" [13:44] tomreyn how can we ensure the back up runs as "root"? [13:44] SamuelMarks: instead of removing packages which are part of ubuntu (and should not have been altered by other *packages*, i.e. .deb's installed using apt or otherwise), you can inspect what packages you installed recently and focus on removing those. [13:44] tomreyn: yeah I just did that (35GB of packages were autoremoved) [13:45] SamuelMarks: /var/log/apt/history.log should provide this information. [13:45] It seems there's so many options..1) what's the difference between "file" and "raw" back up and what does Clonezilla classed as? [13:45] noob37: by making whatever starts it run as user root, or via sudo. [13:45] Any recommendations on Utility tool from experience? [13:46] noob37: `dd` [13:46] vs `cp` [13:46] tomreyn Does that mean navigating to root in the file system and conducting from there? [13:46] samuelmarks what is dd vs cp? [13:47] SamuelMarks: jeez do not recommend dd for backup [13:48] noob37: i assume 'raw' backup would refer to something like a partition backup, covering all the blocks that are assigned to this partition, such as "dd" could do. i think clonezilla can operate in this mode but can also mount the file system on the partition and only backup the files in there., which is usually less data and faster. generally, if you don'T know what you want, you probably want a file backup using tar. [13:50] tomreyn okay - so use Tar to back up to folder and then back up this folder to external hard drive or rsync? [13:50] I installed sway [13:50] xd [13:50] I do like the idea of a system-wide back up for settings etc that presumably clonezilla does [13:50] noob37: i recommend using borg backup, with borgmatic. but this, too, involves reading up on it, understanding what it does and what its requirements are, and how it operates, testing the backup AND restore process. [13:50] how much does sway need in ram on ubuntu [13:50] Also, any recommendation of clonezilla over deja dup or vice versa? [13:51] tomreyn cool, thanks - will look into borgmatic [13:51] So much to learn about and figure out it's kind of mind boggling [13:52] I'm also trying to learn what the best way to back everything up to switch into a new distro once I decide to do so [13:53] noob37: if you are using gnome, and want to keep it easy to use, look into pika, which is a gnome shell-extension front end to borg backup. but you still need to understand how it works, and know how you'd recover if you have no GUI. [13:53] hell nah sway in a vm is a hell [13:53] Ended up going nuclear: `sudo apt purge libegl-mesa0` then all these qt and KDE deps to remove then even `sudo apt purge mesa* ubuntu-desktop` [13:53] `autoremove` and rebooted into tty1 (terminal only) [13:53] Installed `ubuntu-desktop` and now everything is gucci [13:54] cool thanks tomreyn [13:54] I even have LibreOffice now! - Been a long time since that worked (I was on betas of 24.04) [13:54] note that pika is not availabele in ubuntu, or it wasn't last time i checked [13:54] but it shoud be available from the gnome shell extension repository [13:56] sudo usermod -aG libvirt simon how to revert this comand? [13:57] noob37: actually pika isn't available on the gnome shell extensions online repository, but here: https://apps.gnome.org/PikaBackup/ [13:58] ubuntu + flatpaks don'T go together too well, though [13:58] tomreyn it's all very fascinating [13:59] Yeah..have been reading about flatpaks and snaps and some of the complexities or complications it's caused [13:59] Seems a lot of people are not fond of snap [13:59] simon_: the same man page explains how to remove a user off a supplementary group [14:00] damn I am allmost dragged to install ubuntu on my desktop pc, but there runs windows at the moment [14:01] and I need windows for gaming [14:01] xd [14:01] WSL.

[16:21] what do you mean "good" [16:21] by the way I wrote it will it mount my second disk?

[16:33] I mean where can I mount [16:34] use /mnt/uwuntu for example [16:35] simon_> mount: /home/simon/Uwuntu: Wrong file system type, invalid options, superblock of /dev/sda5 is corrupted, missing encoding page or other error. [16:35] dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. [16:35] still this error [16:36] default is not a valid mount option [16:37] ravage it is somehow mounted on /media/simon/f8ea1257-9646-4d85-984b-708f533c76c2 already [16:38] that is possible yes [16:38] you probably clicked on it in nautilus [16:38] or it auto mounts there [16:38] yes [16:39] hmm need to reboot because I kicked it out [16:39] xd [16:41] ravage, can I somehow link the filesystem to another folder for example [16:42] Why not mount it where you want it ? [16:42] how to do that [16:42] And the Google term you are looking for is symlink [16:43] ln -sf /media/simon/f8ea1257-9646-4d85-984b-708f533c76c2/ /home/simon/Uwuntu/ [16:43] like this [16:44] nice [16:44] I think it works [16:44] xD [16:52] simon_: I would highly recommend mounting your drive to /home/simon/Uwuntu instead [16:53] leftyfb, what I thought I did that [16:53] xd [16:54] no, you have it mounted to /media/simon/f8ea1257-9646-4d85-984b-708f533c76c2/ and then symlinked to /home/simon/Uwuntu/ [16:54] can you tell me how I can revert what I did [16:54] 44 sudo chown -c $USER /home/simon/Uwuntu/f8ea1257-9646-4d85-984b-708f533c76c2 [16:54] 45 sudo chown -cR simon:simon ~/Uwuntu/f8ea1257-9646-4d85-984b-708f533c76c2 [16:54] 46 history [16:55] I also did these [16:55] rm /home/simon/Uwuntu [16:55] simon_: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mount-drive-from-command-line-ubuntu-linux/ [16:55] and how to mount this thing then to another location ? heh [17:02] funny now I can use simplex in a vm [17:02] xd [17:02] is it safu?

[17:04] if you know how to setup snapcraft then yes [17:05] I have no clue [17:05] xd [17:05] is it hard [17:05] or not [17:06] https://snapcraft.io/docs [17:06] https://snapcraft.io/docs/snapcraft [17:07] hello [17:07] uu [17:09] ravage can you tell me how many commands you used [17:09] xd [17:10] https://p.haxxors.com/simplexchat.yml [17:12] ravage can you upload this pkg on snap=) [17:12] no not yet [17:20] anyways vm works too ravage [17:21] maybe I should get your snap in the vm [17:21] XDD [17:22] or is this an overkill? [17:28] ravage, does lubuntu has a firewall installed? [17:28] no [17:29] should I install a firewall before trying simplex? [17:29] all ubuntus have a firewall installed, without active rules [17:29] how to activate the firewall [17:29] simon_: is your computer behind a router? [17:29] I build it my self [17:30] built what? [17:30] ohh you mean which router I have? [17:30] fritzbox [17:30] you don't need a firewall [17:32] so I am safe and set up to try simplex? [17:32] inside a vm? :D [17:32] safe from what? [17:33] from virus [17:33] firewalls don't prevent you from getting viruses [17:33] I basically dont trust simplex, because they said safe messenger [17:34] if you don't trust an application, then don't install it [17:34] leftyfb, but the app on google play store is really good [17:35] simon_: feel free to chat about security in #security [17:35] ravage, did you take the appimage? [17:35] leftyfb, I have even a better idea [17:35] xd [17:35] no i took the snap [17:36] I put wine on it and then I run the windows version inside the vm [17:36] xd [17:38] if you want to test it you can. i just cant upload to the store yes because of stupid manual approvals [17:39] wget https://p.haxxors.com/simplexchat582amd64.snap; sudo snap install --dangerous simplexchat582amd64.snap [17:40] that chat can delete messages send? [17:40] it has a delete button [17:41] but you cant even use it on multiple devices. [17:41] yes [17:41] it has even life chat [17:41] i dont see why anyone would prefer that over matrix unless you have some very specific privacy needs [17:42] we have a small group to chat [17:42] but it was fun any easy to package. so why not add it 🙂 [17:45] https://p.haxxors.com/0og8jv8r.txt seems to be my address in case anyone wants to try it 😛 [17:47] last name onion [17:47] heh [17:48] you need the mobile app to do anything anyway first think. desktop is more like a companion app. https://p.haxxors.com/91sxl27c.png [17:48] look fun but i doubt it has a large userbase [17:49] oke, so your mobile is linked, ugly. [17:51] right [17:53] good to put in the notice when you publish the snap, unless you use snap on mobile 🤪 [17:53] i could try to start it on my Ubuntu touch device. but really makes no sense at all 😄 [18:31] I have put a directory into a env variable - $music /data/music. When I go to use this variable as an argument in commands such as mv foo.mp3 $music/foo/ and use tab to autocomplete the desination path it adds a \before the $ and the command fails. If I delete the \ it works fine. Why does it add the \ ?? [18:33] FKAShinobi: ${music} [18:34] leftyfb: Can you explain the difference? [18:35] ${music} is more explicit [18:35] in this case, if you're adding texto the var, like in a path [18:36] hi [18:37] leftyfb: Thanks [18:37] welcome SamuelMarks [18:37] My unity dock keeps refresshing, logs say "Couldn't parse Xonotic.desktop as desktop file" [18:37] I have no desktop icons [18:38] everything is really slow including mouse movements and reaction to keypresses [18:38] How do I reinstall everythingear all the config files? [18:38] SamuelMarks: try creating a new user and see if the issues go away [18:39] oh good they finally loaded; everything is still super slow though [18:39] leftyfb: hmm good idea I guess let me try [18:41] I have to step away now. If that resolves their issue, they can look into things they have running in startup or configs in ~/.config or ~/.local that they might be able to wipe [18:55] ravage better come to simplex [18:55] xd [18:59] hi [18:59] that didn't work [19:00] SamuelMarks: what did not [19:00] Can I reinstall everything and redo all my settings on ubuntu? [19:00] Or install non rocm drivers for my amd that will work on my graphics card [19:00] Sure. But the ISO. Choose to overwrite all [19:00] boot [19:01] SamuelMarks: maybe it would be better to understand your root cause first? [19:01] ok i'll find a usb [19:01] SamuelMarks: what did you do exactly before it all borked? [19:01] my data will be fine I assume [19:01] or remove that Xonotic.desktop file? [19:01] lotuspsychj3: installed rocm [19:01] 35GB [19:01] then removed it and ubuntu-desktop and everything [19:01] then isntalled ubuntu-desktop once again [19:02] SamuelMarks: does apt still give errors? [19:05] no [19:06] tried creating a new user [19:06] login screen has very small text (4k monitor; Dell Alienware laptop) [19:06] but once logged in it's ok [19:06] SamuelMarks: gnome-tweaks has an option to reset gnome back to defaults [19:07] can anyone help me with a dbus question? I'm getting this error: [19:07] SamuelMarks: but my bet, would be as oerheks said, related to that xonotic thing or rocm borking your system [19:07] kdeconnect-cli --refresh [19:07] error activating kdeconnectd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected", "Not connected to D-Bus server") [19:07] error: Not connected to D-Bus server [19:08] lotuspsychj3: nah haven't opened that game in a while [19:08] I think rocm killed my system so trying to restore sanity [19:08] try; killall kdeconnectd # then refresh again [19:09] but i guess it respawns [19:09] happy to remove literally all installed software; as long as I don't lose data like firefox & chrome profiles; which I can probably just backup anyway; and my various IDEs and repositories folder [19:10] I'm running the 6.10.2 kernel [19:10] why [19:10] not worth to mention an newer kernel ? [19:10] try reverting everything back you did SamuelMarks [19:11] I tried [19:11] and go back to stock kernel for your ubuntu release [19:11] What version is stock again [19:11] wich release are you on? [19:11] even with HWE 6.8 [19:11] 24.04 [19:11] https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble-updates/linux-image-virtual-hwe-24.04 [19:12] mainline kernels are for testing, you got your test result [19:12] first issue I've had that remained cross booting [19:12] SamuelMarks: 24.04 is on 6.8.0-39-generic currently [19:12] alright let me reboot [19:12] just boot in an older kernel? then cleanup [19:12] +1 [19:14] ouch [19:14] this release has my fans running hard [19:15] or your experimental packages install [19:15] are the fans the problem, or are they actually trying to cool something hot? [19:15] * SamuelMarks has Alienware Alienware m17 R5 AMD with AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX with Radeon™ Graphics × 16 and 32.0 GiB of RAM; currently running just terminal with irssi [19:16] lotuspsychj3 - it's possible; I do build my own LLVM after all [19:16] So yeah trying to get a proper fresh package tree and reset all settings to default [19:16] SamuelMarks: feel free to !paste your dpkg logs to see what happened all in there [19:17] SamuelMarks: have you considered a full ZFS root filesystem? I have that kind of setup, and it allows me to fork the boot filesystem, try experimental stuff, and go back to a working state with a simple reboot :) [19:17] cbreak: ah yes, snapshots FTW [19:18] not sure I want the disk cost though [19:18] if you're anywhere like me and like to play araound with crap, that is worth gold [19:18] it's cheap [19:18] cbreak: ZFS fully working on 24.04? [19:18] ubuntu has ZFS root now from the gui, right? [19:18] I have 22.04, 23.04, 23.10 and 24.04, and it only costs 153GB with 44GB being used right now [19:18] SamuelMarks: yeah, but that's set up weirdly. I had to redo everything [19:19] lotuspsychj3: good enough for me, yes. [19:19] nice cbreak [19:19] so the zfs itself works, don't know about the normal ubuntu integration [19:20] I've been meaning to try btrfs because someone demoed getting windows to be installed there also; then I dual boot from the one partition [19:20] I boot with ZFS Bootmenu instead of grub, so I can use encrypted zfs too. So, yes, very non-standard OS, but the snapshots are _great_ for experimenting [19:20] I've only heard bad things about BTRFS... [19:20] cbreak - got a blogpost for this? [19:20] ... in all the ZFS IRC channels I've been in :P [19:20] lets continue that in #ubuntu-discuss [19:21] or even some gist?

[21:40] make sure the device is in pair mode [21:42] oerheks: This used to work. I did some updates to both MB firmware and OS updates. Do you know what caused this? [21:43] is cloud-init better than dotfiles?
