jsmoothHow do I start MySQL Server? For some reason it shut down.00:46
sarnoldread the logs and find out why it shut down00:46
sarnoldonce you address that, then you can start it back up :)00:46
jsmoothIt was the process of rebooting that made it stop working00:47
jsmoothThe error log is empty00:48
sarnoldaww :(00:48
sarnoldsystemctl list-units '*mysql*' will probably show the service name and such, `systemctl enable` on the service name to encourage it to start at the next boot, `systemctl start` on the service name to ask it to start now00:49
pragmaticenigmajsmooth: it is a good idea to also check other logs as well. MySQLs error log is mostly for operations within MySQL. Not errors caused at system level. For that you may need to look at syslogs or journald to see what happened to MySQL's service00:51
jsmoothWhere would I Find those two logs?00:52
jsmoothAttempt to start the service fails, it says too frequent restart attempts00:52
sarnoldjournactl -f  is a good starting place00:54
sarnoldand thanks for raising this now, I see I've got a steady stream of errors on my own system that need sorting out!00:54
jsmoothHere is the output of journalctl -f https://gist.github.com/longcurve/ec5bfcb5f435e00eb2aa305d6312cdfd00:56

pycuriousI have a ubuntu 24.04lts installation with 5950x + ASUS AM4 MB. I'm trying to figure out how to make this work (can't seem to see anything in the BIOS that would stop this) $ sudo /usr/sbin/kvm-ok02:49
pycuriousINFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions02:49
pycuriousKVM acceleration can NOT be used02:49
leftyfbpycurious: you should ask in #hardware about motherboard/BIOS settings02:51
pycurious@leftyfb I'm banned from #hardware - because I ask questions without telling why I am asking them :)02:53
Disconsentedno and no02:56
pycurious@Disconsented - does that question qualify for #hardware?02:57
pycuriousI think I found SVM - the BIOS had it hidden under 2 levels! Hopefully that solves the issue.03:02
sarnoldheh, I was going to suggest hutning around in the bios :)03:03
pragmaticenigmaWas going to say, usually an OS has limited, if any, access to settings in BIOS/UEFI. Usually something has to be enabled, before the OS can request it03:17

mari-estelhmm my postgres has port 5433 in its conf, but client seems to work only connecting to 5432. Troubleshooting hints?11:08
johndoe965Hi. I dont know why but I have to restart display-manager for ubuntu studio to work. Can you tell me?11:13
johndoe965I use the official noble numbat version. Here is the command i have to use to load desktop properly: sudo systemctl restart display-manager . Otherwise, It would partially load, i.e. widgets and activities corner only. All keyboard shortcuts work tho. Anyone know what might be the problem?11:13

=== lucenera0 is now known as lucenera
tomreynmari-estel: if you change the server port and restarted the cluster, you'll also need to make the client connect to that. 5432 is the default port. what you're describing seems to be that your change of the server port did not apply.11:25
mari-estelthanks, that is also what i thought and i tried restarting with `service`. I will try other restart commands11:27
tomreynsystemctl restart.11:35
tomreynif you edited the service file, also systemctl daemon-reload11:36
mari-estelhmm it says `listening on IPv4 address "127.0.0.1", port 5433`11:48
mari-estelbut lsof lists the port as `55433 HTML5\x20` rather than Socket11:48
mari-esteland psql would only work with 55432, not 5543311:49

rdzhey all. When using the touchpad, I can scroll continuously. However, when using the scroll wheel, it scrolls in increments. How can I get the same behaviour with the scroll wheel?15:07
kuka_liechange mouse15:07

mrecsnap repositories really push Ubuntu backwards15:43
leftyfbmrec: This is an ubuntu support channel. Please take all non-support discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic15:44
mrecbefore snap I would have used apt-get source to install source packages, now that's kind of gone with snap isn't it?15:45
ravagemost snap packages link their source15:45
leftyfbmrec: depends on the package15:45
ravageif not contact the author15:45

mrecthe advantage was just that all the dependencies were already resolved with the source package. What's the plan for the future with ubuntu, more or less snap packages in the system?15:49

mrecbecause I'd like to modify Thunderbird a bit here, however that requires to resolve the dependencies of course.15:51
leftyfbmrec: so go download the thunderbird source15:51
leftyfbmrec: modifying source code and compiling/packaging your own packages is really beyond the scope of the support provided here15:52

kyonsaltI got fsck problem "resize inode not valid. recreate<y>"yes, Pass1: Checking inodes,blocks,and sizes, e2fsck:aborted, /dev/sda1 ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****, And the filesystem is not correct size, and can't create big file(>10G).16:23

kyonsaltand the VM image on this fs, we could run it by virtualbox. the broken fs is so strange...16:25
kyonsaltAnd I did check verify badblock harddisk, the disk is OK. the fs was broken... How to fix?16:26
leftyfbkyonsalt: I would recommend reformatting and restoring from backup16:27
jsmoothHow do I fix this? https://gist.github.com/longcurve/ec5bfcb5f435e00eb2aa305d6312cdfd16:34
leftyfbjsmooth: look in /var/log/error.log16:36
leftyfbsorry, /var/log/mysql/error.log16:36
jsmoothmysql error log is empty16:36
pragmaticenigmajsmooth: this is the same issue from yesterday, you're running WSL?16:37
jsmoothYeah..WSL and yes same from yesterday16:37
leftyfbok, try to run mysqld manually and see what errors you get16:37
jsmoothjust plain 'mysqld' ?16:37
leftyfbugh, WSL. That's probably have the problem16:37
jsmoothI'vej ust added the output to the gist16:38
pragmaticenigmajsmooth: mysql/error.log only logs issues internal to mysql, not system level. For that you need to look at syslog and journald. Since this is under WSL, you should seek help in #windows-wsl16:38
jsmoothI didn't get any answers in Ewindows-wsl16:39
leftyfbjsmooth: did you run mysqld as root?16:39
jsmoothNo...should I have?16:39
leftyfbactually, probably as the mysql user16:39
jsmoothWHich should be teh same as my user16:40
leftyfbsudo -u mysql /usr/sbin/mysqld16:40
leftyfbno it shouldn't16:40
leftyfbhow did you install mysql?16:40
jsmoothfrom repo16:41
jsmoothI have the output from that latest command on the gist, I replaced the output.16:41
jsmooththe mysqld-result I mean16:41
leftyfbwhat release of ubuntu are you running?16:42
jsmooth24.04.116:42
leftyfbjsmooth: sudo mkdir /var/run/mysql ; sudo chown mysql:mysqld /var/run/mysqld16:44

leftyfbjsmooth: sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld ; sudo chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld16:45
leftyfbsorry, as usual, having too many conversations as once16:46
jsmoothOkat that one completed with no output16:46
leftyfbnow restart the service16:46
jsmoothWhat command would be best? /etc/init.d/mysql start?16:46
jsmoothor sudo service mysql start?16:47
leftyfbsudo systemctl start mysql && journalctl -fu mysql16:47
jsmoothIt still failed with the same error output according to journal16:48
leftyfbtry running it manually again16:48
jsmoothNope. I updated hte gist again16:49
leftyfbas root16:49
leftyfbsorry, as mysql16:49
leftyfbsudo -u mysql /usr/sbin/mysqld16:49
jsmoothNope. Updated it again16:50
jsmoothI don't understand..mysql was working and then it wasn't.16:50
leftyfbls -ld /var/run/mysqld16:51
jsmoothNo such file or direcftory16:51
leftyfbjsmooth: sudo mkdir /var/run/mysqld ; sudo chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld16:52
leftyfbthen ls -ld /var/run/mysqld16:52
jsmoothLooks like it worked...check the gist16:53
jsmoothI ran it manually and I think it worked16:53
leftyfbkill that and start the service properly16:53
jsmoothWhat do you mean?16:53
leftyfbthis last time, did you start it manually or using systemctl?16:54
leftyfbit should be started with systemctl16:54
jsmoothNot using systemctl16:54
jsmoothOkay.16:54
jsmoothStarting using systemctl didint 'work16:55
jsmoothMaybe I should just reset WSL again16:56
leftyfbreset?16:56
jsmoothremove it and reinstall it16:56
jsmoothId rather not do taht though16:56
jsmoothjournal has the same error...restart attempts were too quick16:57
jsmoothI'm gonna try rebooting wsl17:00
jsmoothHmm. AFter reboot I checked status of mysql and it says unrecognized service17:01
jsmoothMaybe I need to remove and reinstall mysql17:02
jsmoothFound that...I had the parameter order wrong in the command17:19

pragmaticenigmajsmooth: if you install  mysql from apt repo, it should have configured itself to run as a system service. So it appears that you installed MySQL from a different repo than the ones supported by Ubuntu17:25
leftyfbpragmaticenigma: or WSL mucks with /var/run in some way17:26
leftyfbAFAIK, even having systemd running in it is a new development17:26
tomreynnot that new https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-wsl-enable-systemd17:28
jsmoothIs there a way I can check how it was installed? Though I'm pretty sure it was ubuntu repo.17:30
tomreynapt policy mysql-server*     may hint on which apt repository it's from. and then there are logs in /var/log/apt/17:31
tomreynbetter start with   apt list --installed mysql*17:32
jsmooth Installed: 8.0.40-0ubuntu0.24.04.117:32
tomreynthen query apt policy for the specific package name17:32
leftyfbI've found apt-cache policy <package> is more informative17:32
jsmoothdoesn't what I just posted mean it's from ubuntu repo?17:33
tomreynyes, but also very verbose if you pass multiple packages (which may or may not be installed)17:33
leftyfbthat isn't our use case at the moment though17:33
tomreynthis was to leftyfb17:33
leftyfbjsmooth: please pastebin:  apt-cache policy mysql-server17:34
jsmoothhttps://gist.github.com/longcurve/ec5bfcb5f435e00eb2aa305d6312cdfd#file-apt-cache_policy-txt17:34
leftyfblooks fine to me17:35
pragmaticenigmajsmooth: it's probably fine, I wasn't aware of some of the limitation with WSL. I misspoke on the repository thought17:37
jsmoothI don't know about a limitation myself.17:37
jsmoothIT was working days ago, my computer restarted and then it wasn't working.17:37
jsmoothActually, I might have only closed the bash terminals for Ubuntu and hten it wasn't working. Either way, makes no sense.17:38
jsmoothIs journal a syslog?17:39
tomreynit is a similar alternative, but a database, not a plain text log file.17:40
jsmoothOkay. Because all journal says is it's getting restart attempts too quickly17:40
tomreynhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/systemd may be relevant for running services on wsl. i think there is a wsl specific ubuntu channel, too17:41
jsmoothThere is..I wasn't getting an answer17:41
jsmoothStill haven't.17:41
tomreynyou'Re welcome to interpret this experience in whichever way you see fit. ;-)17:42
jsmoothNot sure what you mean by that17:42
tomreyni don't think there is a huge wsl user base17:42
tomreynnot for running daemons anyways17:43
leftyfbjsmooth: why do you need to run mysql in WSL?17:43
jsmoothBEcause I'm using it as a web and development server17:43
leftyfbyou would have a better experience running the server on a pi17:44
tomreyni think there are native mysql server builds for windows. not that this is any better.17:44
jsmoothI cannot afford a pi17:44
jsmoothI asume you mean a specialized computer.17:44
leftyfbyeah, an SBC. The Pi4 2GB goes for $4517:46
leftyfbyou could also find a used pi 2 or 3 for about $20 or under17:46
jsmoothYeah..I can't afford it.17:47
jsmoothI just searched it, looks like a board for a computer.17:49
leftyfbno, it IS a computer17:50
jsmoothIs it a computer itself or part of one?17:50
jsmoothThen how come it's not enclosed?17:50
leftyfbthey sell enclosures if you think you need one17:50
jsmoothAnd I'm assuming I would need to buy a screen?17:50
leftyfbnot necessarily. You can enable ssh upon the first boot in ubuntu and just use it over SSH. That's what I do17:51
kk1234jsmooth: you can use it as a headless server and access it through ssh. It's also very easy to do a headless ubuntu server install17:51
jsmoothSO I would use my laptop via usb to set it up?17:51
kk1234jsmooth: you only need a sd card reader17:52
jsmoothWhy would I need that?17:52
leftyfbjsmooth: no, you write the OS to a microSD card, edit a file on the SD card to enable ssh, pop the SD into the pi and boot it up. Ideally having it connected to your network via ethernet17:52
leftyfbjsmooth: the storage is a microSD card17:52
jsmoothDoeasn't sound interesting17:52
jsmoothI'd rather just use my laptop17:53
jsmoothEither way, I can't afford to get one.17:53

bebopanyone here can tell me how to scroll up/down in a tty in ubuntu?18:12
bebopshift + pageup/down doesn't work neither do the up/down arrow keys18:12
pragmaticenigmabebop: TTY doesn't have a buffer storing what has scrolled off the screen. To gain the ability to scroll back you would need to use something like tmux or screen, which enables hot keys to scroll back through the buffer. you can also pipe the output of a program to "less", "more", or redirect output to a file and then use a file editor.18:15
bebopI knew about less/more but find that annoying18:16

pragmaticenigmamore18:53
mgedminif you don't use mDNS, I don't think you need avahi18:53
dman777_alterok, thanks... should it be listening on 0.0.0.0 like that? Seems like that is risky18:53

pragmaticenigma0.0.0.0 binds the service to listen on all configured network connections. If you only wanted to work on an wired ethernet connection, you would change it to the wired connections provisioned IP address18:55
leftyfbdman777_alter: the ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 cloud images don't have avahi installed by default18:55
leftyfbdman777_alter: if it's installed, you installed it either directly or as a dependency of something else you installed18:55

leftyfbdman777_alter: why do you have a desktop manager installed on a cloud image?18:57
dman777_altershould I be worried about exploits since it was listening on 0.0.0.0? I had it's ports closed on my router18:57
leftyfbdman777_alter: 0.0.0.0 means it's listening on all interfaces18:57

Guest52i don't know how to do the same things on ubuntu22:31
Guest52i read that they can be restored, but article are so difficult for me, i don't understand all steps22:32
Guest52how to Clear Readonly Attribute22:37
Guest52?22:37
Guest52on ubuntu, i just wann try even because on pendrive there's just file that i have to delete, nothing important22:38
pragmaticenigmaGuest52: From the article, the drive enters read-only mode when it can no longer support any more data writes. Deletion of a file is considered a data write, which the drive cannot perform. The drive has simply run out of write cycles and has entered read only mode so you can still access your files and put them onto a newer device.22:40
pragmaticenigmaGuest52: The procedure given is for a very specific scenario that is highly uncommon as it requires a special piece of software to have set the device to read-only. It is not likely that you have access to that software, so in this case, your drive is too old, and has entered a mode to preserve the data that is on it until you can relocate the data somewhere safe.22:42
pragmaticenigmaGuest52: if you are concerned about someone accessing the drive after you have discarded it, smash it with a hammer or rock22:43
Guest52:-(22:45
sarnoldwas it marked read-only because you yanked the drive without properly unmounting it first?22:45
sarnoldmaybe all it'll take is a filesystem check on it22:45
Guest52pragmaticenigma which software? i read that it's possibile to clear read-only attribute to use again the pendrive22:45
Guest52sarnold i don't remember, maybe it's even possible that this is the cause, i just wann try to solve because i read that there are possibilites, but are descrbibed just for windows and mac22:47
Guest52on ubuntu how to remove "read only attribute"?22:47
sarnoldthere's only about a thousand ways that "read only" could be set, you've got to be way more detailed ;)22:47
sarnoldwhat are the messages you get in dmesg when you plug in the device?22:48

Guest52what mean gasp?22:50
sarnoldI don't know what tool gave that error message, so I don't know what "Format the volume" actually means..22:50
Guest52Disks22:51
Guest52now i downloaded gparted22:51
leftyfbGuest52: I hope you've made backups of the files on this flash drive22:51
Guest52leftyfb all files to delete, i don't need them anymore22:52
sarnoldGuest52: if the goal is to destroy all the data on the drive .. start two terminals .. run "sudo dmesg -w" in one of them. unplug the drive. plug the drive. see what device node it gets, and if there are any error messages, what are they?22:52
leftyfbGuest52: ok, then use gparted to create a new partition table and reformat it22:53
Guest52the goal is to use again the pendrive as before22:53
Guest52sarnold excuse me, i'm basic user, i don't know what mean device node and other thinfs u said22:54
leftyfbGuest52: open gparted, pick sdb from the dropdown on the right. Make sure by looking at it's size that it's your flash drive. Click on Device -> create new partition table. Then format it22:55
