[00:46] <ludvig_> hi
[00:48] <enigma9o7> Welcome ludvig.
[00:49] <ludvig_> is there a linux mint channel here
[00:49] <ludvig_> or some chat
[00:49] <ludvig_> some offtopics where i can talk about irrelevant things
[00:51] <oerheks> linux mint  is on OFTC ?
[00:52] <oerheks> see their homepage?
[00:52] <bprompt> ludvig_: try -> /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:52] <ludvig_> What's that? OFTC?
[00:52] <ludvig_> bprompt: Thanks for the help
[00:53] <ludvig_> I noticed there's not really a channel list feature here like there is on HexChat.
[00:53] <ludvig_> Having that there made it so much easier to look for and join channels
[00:53] <bprompt> ludvig_: well, there is and there isn't, one sec
[00:53] <oerheks> there is.
[00:53] <ludvig_> I haven't found it
[00:54] <oerheks> hexchat > server > channellist
[00:54] <bprompt> ludvig_: there's the /alis services, which is so-so, or you can use something like netsplit.de/channels/?net=Libera.Chat   and there you can search channels or topics, once you find one you want, simple come here and type /join WHATEVERCHANNELNAME
[00:55] <ludvig_> oerheks: No i know of that
[00:55] <bprompt> ludvig_: try typing -> /join #ubuntu-offtopic  <--- to join that channel
[00:55] <ludvig_> I did
[00:56] <ludvig_> See?
[01:00] <enigma9o7> linux mint is on spotchat, not oftc.
[01:04] <oerheks> oh, mixed up with Debian then

[06:17] <Guest57> Hello everyone. I'm using the new 24.04 desktop installer, switching over from Fedora, and want to keep my partition scheme (which includes 2 LUKS encrypted partitions). I do not see any option that allows me to decrypt the LUKS with the manual install selection.
[06:18] <Guest57> I tried doing "Cryptsetup luksOpen" before starting the installer, and still it recognizes the partitions as "crypto_LUKS" type, and doesn't allow me to decrypt or use those partitions without formatting them...
[06:34] <haliaeetus> You can install on other partitions @Guest57, just leave the luks encrypted partitions alone, or am I misunderstanding something?
=== keypushe- is now known as keypusher
[06:35] <haliaeetus> When you want to see them, you can add them to crypttab for them to be automatically opened at startup
[06:35] <Guest57> haliaeetus I'm actually trying to keep my home partition which is LUKS encrypted, not format it, but use it as my home partition under the new Ubuntu installation.
[06:35] <noob43> Hi, I've read numerous articles on Ubuntu forum and chapters from books on back ups, but still don't really feel confident. I know I could backup folders etc to an external drive or serve. I know I could do a system snapshot with Clonezilla, but not really sure on the best way to go about things...how many people here use the Deja Dup utility that
[06:35] <noob43> comes with Ubuntu for everything?
[06:36] <Guest57> noob43 You can look into rsync, or fsarchiver (which supports compression).
[06:37] <haliaeetus> Ah, I understand, I guess the installer want to format the partition it is going to be installed on
[06:37] <haliaeetus> I have no idea then
[06:38] <noob43> Guest57 I know about rsync too, which somewhat adds to the confusion....that is more for system to system backups I think and just for folders, not system-wide
[06:38] <Guest57> haliaeetus Exactly, I see no way of having the installer allow me to decrypt the partition, then use the decrypted partition to install. Hell, there's no options to even create an encrypted partition in the manual formatting options...
[06:40] <Guest57> noob43 What do you mean not system-wide if it's system to system backups? fsarchiver will allow you to backup partitions to compressed files, using only the space that the files/directories on that partition used up. Then you can restore that backup to any partition of an equal or larger size.
[06:42] <noob43> Guest57 my understanding that rsync was for backing up individual files and folders, not a complete snapshot of entire system. System to system meaning two computers connected to the internet can share files and folders - am I wrong?
[06:42] <haliaeetus> I am very happy with my backup system. I have two LUKS encrypted USB hard drives, and I use rsync in my backup script. The rsync stuff runs from a backup script, and the backup script will run if the hard drives with the correct ID is connected according to a simple service and a timer
[06:43] <Guest57> noob43 Ahh, you're looking for system-wide backups. Yes, in that case, fsarchiver might be what you want, it allows compressing, and putting the whole partition to single files, which can then be restored.
[06:44] <noob43> I will look more into fsarchiver thanks Guest57...but dangit, another utility to try and figure out. Doing my best to be a Linuxer, but man a lot of unclear options at least from my perspective now - kinda bewildering.
[06:45] <noob43> Okay cool thanks Guest57 - will do some digging on that.
[06:45] <Guest57> noob43 No, rsync isn't necessarily for sharing files, it's for syncing files (such as for backup cases), but it works on a file by file basis. rsync also works efficiently only updating files that have changed. fsarchiver on the other hand does a backup of files on a partition, including the partition type, and allows the stored file to be
[06:45] <Guest57> compressed on the fly.
[06:45] <noob43> Okay, thanks for the extra clarification Guest57 - any reason you don't recommend deja dup?
[06:46] <haliaeetus> I have backup of all dotfiles and important application settings, reinstalling and setting up everything is simple if I have that. I also have lists of apps so I can install them in one command
[06:46] <Guest57> noob43 No problem. If you want to clarify more on exactly what you're trying to accomplish, with examples, may be able to tell you which should work.
[06:46] <noob43> haliaeetus how do you make back up? I'm interested in this too for when I decide to experiment with another distro
[06:48] <noob43> Thanks Guest57 - basically want a) a snap shot of computer so I can go back in time if anything gets corrupted, b) a common sense file sharing back up for most cases and c) an option for saving all settings in case I want to experiment with a new distro. Also, I have a few different home folders, so something that includes all those would be cool
[06:48] <noob43> too.
[06:49] <noob43> I did see one video where I guy recommended creating a separate home folder partition, so he could hop straight into a new distro and have all his files there copied over.
[06:49] <Guest57> noob43 Never used deja dup myself, not sure if it preserves permissions, timestamps, etc., but if it seems like it'll work for you, try it out. :)
[06:49] <noob43> hehe...thanks Guest57 - guess it's worth a try. Curious why you never tried it? Have you tried Duplicity?
[06:50] <noob43> Or Clonezilla?
[06:51] <Guest57> Just Clonezilla back in the day. Clonezilla is very similar to fsarchiver, Nowadays I just do a quick rsync of my home directory to a USB HDD I have and it's good enough for me.
[06:51] <haliaeetus> If hdds are connected it will rsync -avh  --delete /home/user/.config and more. So to run it I have something like "for mount_point in "$!MOUNT_POINTS[@]}"; do ...", and then check the uuids and then it will run the perform_backup function
[06:52] <noob43> Good to know - thanks Guest57
[06:53] <noob43> That seems complicated haliaeetus
[06:53] <noob43> If you just rsync home folder doesn't it include .config files as well?
[06:54] <haliaeetus> fstab and crypttab needs to be set up to auto mount. And the backup.service will just have [Unit] After=local-fs.target [Service] ExecStart=backup.sh [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
[06:54] <haliaeetus> noob43 If you are asking me, yes, but I don't do backup of the entire home folder
[06:54] <noob43> I don't really understand all this "mount" business coming from Windows and MacOS...I haven't got to that chapter yet in my Linux book
[06:55] <Guest57> mount basically allows you to access the contents of the partitions, within your OS.
[06:56] <noob43> haliaeetus yup, was directed to you - roger that - thanks. So, if I rsync a home folder then copy that into a new distro say, will it preserve all my settings and stuff - even for applications like Firefox?
[06:56] <Guest57> It attaches a partition to a directory you have.
[06:57] <haliaeetus> noob43, no, not really :D
[06:57] <noob43> Guest57 hmmmm...still not sure I follow with the partitions. I get you use mount to say use a USB stick or something, but that's the limit of my smooth brain
[06:57] <noob43> haliaeetus okay :( what is the best type of back up for that?
[06:59] <haliaeetus> The settings and user stuff for firefox will be in the firefox folder. If that is installed with snap for example, the location is somewhere else .. I think
[07:00] <Guest57> I think haliaeetus was maybe just joking. In Linux, when you start a program, the settings are read in from the configs in root, then whatever settings you have in your home directory overwrite the root configs.
[07:00] <haliaeetus> Or maybe it actually is in ~/.Mozilla/ or something like that? Not sure
[07:01] <Guest57> So if you backup your home directory, then restore it in another distro, when you start Firefox it'll use the settings in your home directory,
[07:02] <haliaeetus> Will that be the case for snap installed apps as well?
[07:02] <noob43> Guest57 ah okay - that's good to know...coz yeah, if .snap folder or ~/.Mozilla is in home it should back up right?
[07:02] <haliaeetus> In that case I guess home directory is all you need
[07:02] <noob43> Or, would I have to back up root folder or something?
[07:02] <Guest57> No, just your home directory.
[07:02] <haliaeetus> I was not joking, but I just thought snap might do something else
[07:02] <noob43> Oh okay, cool
[07:03] <noob43> Thanks Guest57, you're pretty knowledgable for a guest ;)
[07:03] <Guest57> When you install a package, it populates the root configs itself. When you make changes in Firefox or whatever, it reflects in your home directory configs.
[07:03] <noob43> Guest57 okay, cool - that's good to know
[07:03] <noob43> I guess I just gotta play around a bit more and get my hands dirty
[07:03] <haliaeetus> That
[07:04] <Guest57> You really never need to backup root configs unless you know you need to. You'll be manually editing /etc/ directory configs, so you'll know. Besides that, configs really never change from anything you do in the GUI short of anything that asks you for the root password when you're making a change (add user, change password, etc.).
[07:05] <noob43> Guest57 that makes sense. I guess the beauty of Linux is that everything is essentially a file, so I could just rsync individual riles like .config or etc or all of it depending on what I need.
[07:06] <haliaeetus> Yeah, ok, so apps installed with snap will have its configs in ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla/
[07:06] <noob43> haliaeetus is that from root  or home?
[07:06] <haliaeetus> home
[07:06] <noob43> Cool
[07:07] <haliaeetus> curly thing means home of the relevant user
[07:07] <noob43> ah, gotcha yeah - I should have known that :)
[07:07] <Guest57> ~/ means home. Try doing this: "cd Download" "cd ~/", you'll see it takes you back home.
[07:07] <Guest57> Downloads*
[07:08] <noob43> Yeah, thanks, I've been practicing stuff like that cd .. etc
[07:10] <Guest57> It boggles my mind how the manual installation (partitioning) in Ubuntu has no LUKS support, whether decryption or creating one, and it's been overlooked.
[07:10] <Guest57> As non-intuitive as Fedora's installer is, never faced a lack of support for something like this.
[07:11] <Guest57> Read that the 24.04 release installer was replaced with something new, probably why.
[07:12] <haliaeetus> Does anyone have suggestions for terminal apps that Linux users should know about? I have fallen in love with ranger, that is a very nice file manager for the terminal. And also bat. It's like cat, but with nice formatting
[07:12] <noob43> Not really sure what that is Guest57 (LUKS) but looks like some sort of tool for disk encryption. Have you seen if Pop OS has it?
[07:13] <haliaeetus> Guest57 have you access to a terminal before this happens? Can you run lsblk there?
[07:14] <haliaeetus> If you can, then you can maybe also just do sudo cryptsetup luksOpen on the relevant drive, and after that maybe you can do what you want?
[07:16] <Guest57> haliaeetus I do, and I have. Did exactly that, opened the lock before the installer started, still sees it as a crypt_LUKS partition type. I think it's reading the block devices, /dev/mapper/ ignored.
[07:16] <haliaeetus> (and also mount it after luksOpen)
[07:17] <haliaeetus> sudo mount /dev/mapper/disc /mnt/disc
[07:17] <haliaeetus> maybe?
[07:17] <Guest57> Even tried mounting, there was a suggestion to try "live-$name", but it was for the Kubuntu installer.
[07:17] <Guest57> I'm going to try to see what the server installer does now. Maybe I'll have more luck.
[07:24] <Guest57> Turns out the server installer is just as limited... Why can I not have a capital letter for my hostname...
[07:30] <Guest57> Installer here crashes as well when I try to use the LUKS partition as /home/ without formatting it. Tries to mount it, can't fails. Haha.
[08:20] <AndroUser> Hola
[08:43] <Yakov> can please someone help me debug my usb thing, it was set to read only, then I cant even see it with lsusb, i just ejected prematurely and now it looks dead

[11:26] <Walex> incesguest: there is a fairly active LISP channel too
[11:27] <Walex> incesguest: but it *might* be an SBCL bug: in "Relocating [0x9000000:0xa880000] into [(nil):0x1880000]" if "(nil)" is the new starting address that would not work as address 0 is not allowed.
[11:30] <Walex> in any case it is the usual shoddy error message: "mmap: Cannot allocate memory" does not say which program printed the error, which parameters were given to 'mmap', and what was the return code. Very common.
[11:58] <incesguest> I added hardware and version information, as well as the configuration files for SBCL and emacs here: https://bpa.st/L6JQ
[11:58] <incesguest> Concerning lisp and SBCL, people on the common lisp channels told me that it was more probably an OS problem than with SBCL.
[11:58] <incesguest> I am more than happy to add information that can be necessary.

[14:34] <Pokey> Hey there, puzzled by this one. I have Ubuntu Server running in an LXC container on a Proxmox host. It has IPv4 connectivity, but does not have IPv6 connectivity (though it has link local and loopback addresses). When making connections to places, it seems to make attempts to connect over IPv6 for those domains which have AAAA records available, even though there is no actual IPv6 connectivity available. There are no IPv6 routes outside of those defined
[14:34] <Pokey> for link local and loopback. I sometimes have tot ry 2 or 3 times for IPv4 to be selected and a connection to be made, otherwise I just get Network Unreachable.
[14:34] <Pokey> There is nothing configured in /etc/gai.conf nor do I know of any other reason it may prefer to try IPv6 when it should know it won't get anywhere with that. Disabling IPv6 with sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 works but I feel like that should be completely unnecessary. Other systems are perfectly capable of working out they can't use IPv6, why not this one?
[14:34] <Pokey> Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[14:59] <Walex> Pokey: that's an application problem.
[14:59] <Walex> Pokey: if applications ask for IPv6 addresses and use them, that's how they are written.
[15:00] <Walex> Pokey: if the application uses 'getaddrinfo' and it is configured to ask IPv6 addresses first.
[15:00] <ravage> there is ##proxmox
[15:00] <ravage> but that comes to mind is the VM firewall
[15:00] <ravage> if you block too much ipv6 wont work
[15:04] <Pokey> Walex / ravage: IPv6 is entirely unrestricted, and this appears to be a wider system issue. This happens for pings, curls, apt requests, you name it. It takes 2 maybe 3 attempts to have it switch to V4
[15:04] <Pokey> IPv4 is enturely unrestricted* Well, both are, there's no restrictions
[15:04] <Pokey> I also can't type to save my life today, apparently
[15:05] <Walex> Pokey: again, it is an application issue. If the application takes the default configuration of 'getaddrinfo' and that asks first for IPv6, that's what happens.
[15:05] <Walex> Pokey: some applications do not use 'getaddrinfo' and have configuration parameters to ask only for IPv4, only IPv6, both in one order or another.,
[15:06] <Walex> put another way: edit 'gai.conf' for those applications that rely entirely on 'getaddrinfo' and otherwise look at application parameters.
[15:08] <Pokey> I don't really understand why I would need to touch gai.conf. There's no way this system can uise any V6 except for link local and loopback. gai.conf has nothing special defined, it's just an empty file save for the comments describing its use
[15:08] <Pokey> Other systems do not have this issue and are capable of working that out for themselves. I don't see why this one is incapable of doing the same
[15:12] <Walex> Pokey: indeed you are right. "I don't see why this one is incapable of doing the same
[15:13] <Walex> Pokey: indeed you are right. "I don't see why this one is incapable of doing the same" seems quite correct.
[15:14] <Pokey> Walex: Bit of a headscratcher
[15:16] <Walex> Pokey: I gave you a full explanation of what is going on: the application asks first for an IPv6 address, and then tries to connect to it, then the connection times out and it asks for an IPv4 address, and that succeeds.
[15:17] <Walex> MS-Windows used to also return first an IPv6 address, and that default was changed a while ago.
[15:20] <Pokey> Walex: It doesn't retry on its own, I have to re-run whatever it is that failed. Your explanation makes sense to an extent, but there has to be a reason this specific system is behaving in this way when other's done, that's the headscratcher, as there seems to be no good reason nor immediately obvious fix

[19:02] <Teridon> I'm having a trouble with the chromium snap on Ubuntu 20.04.  snap list:  https://bpa.st/ZM7A  output of start with SNAP_DEBUG=1:  https://bpa.st/OIFA .  chromium will not even run if I put snapd-confine in complain mode
[19:04] <leftyfb> Teridon: sudo apt install --reinstall snapd
[19:11] <Teridon> thanks, I did that -- but I will note that I'm using a local aptly server for patches, so I'm not getting the latest snapd, if that matters.  I have 2.63+20.04.  Chromium still won't start however.  I also tried refreshing the chromium snap and got a similar snap.rootfs error:  https://bpa.st/MDZQ
[19:13] <sarnold> i'd try a reboot, snapd is very particular about permissions and perhaps a snap update has invalidated the currently enforced profiles
[19:17] <Teridon> ty, a reboot did not seem to help; similar error creating the symbolic link in snap.rootfs*
[19:18] <leftyfb> Teridon: don't use the local aptly server until the issue is resolved
[19:23] <Teridon> well to maybe ask a silly question:  https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/snapd lists the latest version as 2.63+20.04ubuntu0.1 -- is that different than the one I have (dpkg -l shows 2.63+20.04 )
[19:24] <scones> I don't suppose there's someone from Canonical who could DM/PM me?  I'm trying to give you money.  I fill out the forms and it says someone will get back to me in a business day, but that doesn't happen.
[19:25] <Teridon> oh, I see from the changelog I don't have the latest snapd.
[19:25] <ravage> scones: nope. community support only here
[19:25] <ravage> Teridon: why would you limit patches on a LTS release?
[19:25] <joako> I dont understand this error. How do I install the package: Package gsmartcontrol is not available, but it is referred to by another package
[19:25] <joako> Is there an online list of software I can install?
[19:27] <ravage> joako: https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/gsmartcontrol
[19:27] <ravage> it is available in the universe repo on 24.04
[19:27] <scones> ravage: Yeah.  I know.  Hence the request to start the conversation off the channel.  I figured there would be a reasonable chance someone was lurking in here that might be able to point me in the right direction.  Also, technically this is a support question anyway.
[19:33] <Teridon> more possibly-silly questions:  I built a new system (not using aptly).  the dpkg version of snapd doesn't match the "snap list" version?  https://bpa.st/WALA   .  I'm assuming I can "snap refresh snapd" but I'm curious why they don't match already?
[19:34] <ravage> the snapd apt package basically takes care of making the system snap ready
[19:34] <ravage> it is not the same as the snapd snap itself
[19:34] <ice9> ubuntu doesn't have iptables nf_conntrack_ipv4 module?
[19:35] <ravage> im sure it does support connection tracking for ipv4
[19:36] <ice9> modprobe: FATAL: Module nf_conntrack_ipv4 not found in directory /lib/modules/6.8.0-39-generic
[19:37] <ravage> you are probably looking for the wrong module

[21:47] <luna_3> how do I tell if the slowness is my computer or my internet provider connection? 22.04 acer 8g ram
[21:48] <leftyfb> luna_3: define slowness
[21:52] <luna_3> leftleg_,  HI (I am also morgan-u in case it matters, here for >a decade) OK web pages slow coming up. --- But, chrome died AND  irc got disconnected as well. -- I have been having this problem since 18 or 20 Ubuntu LTS and chrome or ff. -- this is the first time I have noticed irc also resetting!  Next question?  because I dont know how to proceed except to restart the program and go on with my life.)
[21:53] <luna_3> oops leftyfb
[21:53] <leftyfb> luna_3: I would highly suggest a fresh install
[21:53] <luna_3> That had happened in the past. But Iwill very soon follow that advice with 24.04 -- so thanks.
[21:54] <luna_3> just need to back it up... just in case.
[21:55] <oerheks> if you work wireless, maybe an idea to reboot the router, for strange connection persisting issues

[22:55] <TheSHADOW> Is there any way I can change the resolution of the video on a console via ssh from another machine?
[23:02] <TheSHADOW> Hah.  Okay, I actually got that working, but now I have the issue that the display's native resolution is no longer available...
[23:53] <Lordy> Anyone know of a decent PPA for running latest version of gnome?
[23:53] <Lordy> I need > 46.1 for explicit sync/wayland
[23:54] <Lordy> I guess I could just go to 24.10... that'd do it
[23:55] <leftyfb> Lordy: 24.10 is unsupported
[23:55] <Lordy> nothing else is really either
[23:55] <leftyfb> Lordy: why doesn't 46-2404 work for you?
[23:56] <Lordy> because explicit sync wasn't added to gnome until 46.1, 24.04 has 46.0
[23:56] <Lordy> gnome on wayland with nvidia-proprietary 560 (which supports wayland) runs like crap
[23:57] <Lordy> which is cool
[23:57] <Lordy> the nvidia560 part
[23:58] <Lordy> doesn't look like they'll be adding explicit sync to the LTS
[23:59] <Lordy> I'm guessing 24.04.1
