k_szeIs something wrong with the Singapore mirror (sg.archive.ubuntu.com --> ossmirror.mycloud.services)?02:33
briddx.x I have a card that hemorrhages with Nvidia's 560 driver, and since a recent update EVERY package in the repository has become a transitional metapackage that installs 560. It seems that my apt isn't respecting the graphics-drivers ppa I added, and I'm not sure where to turn now.02:34
k_szeapt is unable to connect to the Singapore mirror.02:34
enigma9o7great k_sze, you answered your own question02:42
briddnvm02:44
enigma9o7560 isn't even in the ppa, whereas other drivers are.  So not sure what you mean bridd.  Maybe share something related, like `apt policy nvidia-driver-550` to see where its coming from.02:44
Bashing-omk_sze: ' ping -c3 sg.archive.ubuntu.com ' indicates the server is up.02:58
tomreyn'the server' or the load balancer or firewall (or other) in front of it03:02
k_szeLooks like the mirror is back.03:33
enigma9o7i dunno why i said 560 isn't in the ppa, i mean isnt in ubuntu repo, it is in graphics ppa and nvidia repo etc.03:35

Czernobogthere's an issue with mysql-workbench-community snap package after the new update07:16
Czernobogit doesn't open and shows segmentation-fault07:16
Czernobogwho do I contact for this?07:16
Czernobogmysql? snap? ubuntu?07:16
gordonjcpprobably mysql07:18
gordonjcpit's proprietary software, you'd have to go to the vendor07:18
Czernobogunderstood. Thank you07:18
gordonjcpwhat have you done to diagnose the problem so far?07:18
Czernobogre-installation, opening it with terminal, installing on new installation of ubuntu 20.0407:19
Czernobogand ubuntu 22.0407:19
CzernobogI am getting same error07:20
Czernoboghttps://termbin.com/vo0q07:23
Czernobogthis is the error07:23
LuckyManCzernobog, that looks like a Gtk problem, probably your client07:43
LuckyMantry here: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-workbench07:46
CzernobogLuckyMan: thank you. I have installed the .deb package for now07:52
CzernobogLuckyMan: snap had an update today and it stopped working after that07:53
CzernobogSo, I thought it's because of the package07:53
Czernobogeven found it on askubuntu lol07:54
Czernoboghttps://askubuntu.com/questions/1528013/randomly-unable-to-launch-mysql-workbench-community07:54
cheflifeworldnj07:55
LuckyManCzernobog, when things like those happen you can revert the snap to the previous version08:02
LuckyManand you should notify the snap dev08:03
Czernobogaah there's revert08:04
CzernobogI didn't know that08:04
CzernobogLuckyMan: thank you08:05
LuckyManYou are welcome :-)08:06

rdzhey all. On two different 24.04 systems I installed jackd and on system the jackd binary is linked to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpipewire-0.3.so.0, while on the other system jackd is not. How can that be? I seem to not understand jack integration of pipewire09:06
iseneRunning Xorg... what's the best way to disable trackpad while typing?09:20
mgedminrdz: I think you got a real jackd on one system and the pipewire jack compatibility shim on the other one09:24
isene...not running Gnome or KDE - just i3 on X09:26
mgedminisene: do you use xserver-xorg-input-libinput or xserver-xorg-input-synaptics?09:37
mgedminIIRC both had the "disable while typing" feature, but they're configured differently (xinput vs synclient)09:38
isenemgedmin: Not sure which one. How do I check?09:39
mgedminwell, if the apt package for -synaptics is not installed, you're definitely not using it09:41
mgedminso first check with apt policy09:41
mgedminI suppose you can also find out by reading Xorg.0.log?09:41
mgedminfrom memory, the -libinput is newer and default and recommended, and -synaptics is for people who have tweaked their config in ways they can't live without09:42
mgedminso by default -synaptics is not installed, and if you install it, xorg will prefer -synaptics automatically09:42
mgedminalso, from memory, libinput implements the disable-while-typing by default and automatically, but I think synaptics needs a running syndaemon thing or something09:43
mgedminI'm not the right person to ask about this, I've never actually used/felt the need for disable-while-typing, and I don't entirely trust my memory09:43
mgedminbut maybe I've mentioned enough googlable keywords that you can find a working solution09:44
mgedminalso also the Arch wiki is a useful resource, even if you have to adapt some package names and other things to Ubuntu09:44
mgedminhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Touchpad_Synaptics#Disable_touchpad_while_typing09:45
mgedminand https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libinput#Enable_the_touchpad_while_typing09:45
mgedminthe first link is for the old synaptics driver, the second for the new libinput driver09:46
isenemgedmin: Nope, no synaptics. Will commence with the link you gave for libinput. Thanks :)09:48

norrlandHi, hitting my head on an issue with a docker host where an update to a package caused the dockerd service to restart. Along with all of the containers running on the host. Is there any way of forcing apt / systemd not to restart services at all?11:29
mgedminthere is, but I don't remember the exact syntax11:31
norrlandAlso, this happened as part of a ansible-playbook run. So probably an extra layer of things to keep in mind.11:35
mgedminsee /usr/share/doc/init-system-helpers/README.policy-rc.d.gz11:35
mgedminbut I wasn't paying attention to see if it's still being used in the systemd world11:36
mgedminthe readme still exists on my ubuntu 24.04 desktop11:36
norrlandalright thanks.11:38
rdzmgedmin: thanks. How can I install the pipewire jack shim, then?12:16
rdzI checked the list of installed packages and I wasn't able to spot the difference between the systems12:17
rdzAlso, I don't remember having installed the like on the system where jackd is linked to libpipewire. However, this system was upgraded from 22.04, while the other one where real jackd is installed was installed directly from 24.04 installed12:18
mgedminrdz: what does dpkg -S /path/to/jackd day on each system?12:22

de-factohow am i supposed to update the snap store? the ubuntu software updater says it fails to update it because it has running apps12:35
de-factothis is why i dont like that snap thing, it does not use the standard ways and fails at its own special approach12:35
matsamansnap is complete nonsense12:37
matsamanavoid it entirely12:37
de-factoits on my system as per default and fails to update despite me never having used it12:38
de-factohow can i fix this?12:38
matsamanlook up how to set your system to disable it and never use it12:39
matsamanor switch to Debian12:39
de-factohow can i get rid of that buggy snap stuff?12:41
matsamanhttps://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+completely+disable+snaps12:42
CosmicDJde-facto: at least firefox and thunderbird are snap-only now; keep that in mind when removing snapd12:43
de-factowow so i dont have a webbrowser when i remove that snap stuff?12:44
matsamanyou can still use Firefox12:44
de-factodid they do this on purpose to?12:44
matsamanyou have to jump through an unusual hoop or two is all12:44
matsamanUbuntu does this type of thing on purpose, yeah12:44
de-facto.(12:44
matsamanlong history of trying to gain a niche by promoting proprietary nonsense12:45
matsamanreally if you don't like snaps, switching to Debian makes the most sense12:45
de-factoi didnt like buggy snapd before now i hate it12:45

ubottuWant to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks!12:45
matsamanUbuntu is sourced from Debian unstable, so it's not a big deal, and really makes more sense to use Debian even if you did like Ubuntu as it is12:45
lotuspsychjeplease keep this channel for support questions12:46
ioriade-facto, i'd try to kill the instance and sudo snap refresh12:47
de-factoubuntu software suggests to update snap store, but fails because it already runs. when i kill it it closes the update process12:49
de-factolol12:49
de-factohow am i supposed to use this, even if i dont like that?12:49
de-factois this a design architecture failure of the snap store?12:50
rdzmgedmin: that's the weird thing. both say /usr/bin/jackd is from jackd212:51
ioriade-facto, let it finish what's it is doing, then kill snap-store and refresh12:51
de-factoits not doing anything12:55
de-factoits offering to update snap store but when i take that offer it fails12:55
de-factowhen i kill the associated pid it dies12:55
de-factoso again, how am i supposed to update this?12:55
ioriade-facto, ps -A | grep snap12:56
mgedminrdz: okay, but ldd output differs? this is weird12:56
de-factook and then?12:56
ioriade-facto, what it says ?12:56
de-factofew lines12:56
mgedminrdz: and it's an actual binary, and not a symlink to /etc/alternatives/jackd?12:56
de-factohttps://bpa.st/IQV7A12:57
mgedminrdz: at this point my general ubuntu/debian/apt knowledge is insufficient, and I have no specific knowledge of jackd, having never used it.  maybe someone else can help?12:57
ioriade-facto, you did not kill it12:57
de-factoi opened it again12:57
de-factothe ubuntu software12:58
de-factoi want to update the snap store like it was offered from ubuntu sofware12:58
norrlandmgedmin: bah, seems like 'needrestart' is the culprit here.13:01
de-factois there an deb file i can download for snap store ?13:03
mgedminde-facto: the snap store is distributed as a snap and cannot be updated from itself13:04
de-factowhere can i download the snap for it and install it?13:04
mgedminde-facto: snap store should be updated automatically (provided that it is not running) like every other snap; if you want to force an update now, you can do snap-store --quit && snap refresh snap-store13:05
de-factothanks that fixed the error13:06
de-factoit was not updated automatically before, i had that failure message there for days13:06
mgedminyeah, it's very annoying13:19
mgedminsnapd refuses to upgrade apps that are running; snap-store is always running (in the background)13:19
hermanoI would like to send env variables while using ssh, my line:14:12
hermanossh -t myuser@myserver bash -c 'export PASS=secret'14:12
hermanoI do not get errors, but the env variable is not set on the host i ssh towards.14:12
rdzmgedmin: I guess your knowledge about ubuntu/debian/apt is totally fine. Anyway, thank you a lot so far. I just figured out that both jackd binaries have the same checksum, so they are indeed identical. The difference must with some other library. From what I understand, ldd follows recursively, so that different output doesn't necessarily mean that the checked binaries are different14:14
matsamanhermano: if you aren't going to set it and use it in the same instance, you'll have to set it to some rc/session/profile config to use in future14:18
rdzmgedmin: I figured it out. On the system where jackd is linked to libpipewire, there is an override in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/pipewire-jack-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf14:38

Paddy_NITotally baffled20:06
ossePaddy_NI: I think it's because you have (too) many keys in ~/.ssh. Not knowing what to do ssh tries all of them, but the server thinks that's too many.20:23
