| raj_ | Following these instructions: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview I used Rufus to setup a 5.7 GB Ubuntu ISO onto a USB drive using FAT32, however at the end of the process, it gave some general error and now no matter what I do it just says the usb drive has no space | 00:41 |
| ravage | try https://www.balena.io/etcher | 00:41 |
| leftyfb | raj_: don't use rufus | 00:41 |
| raj_ | I tried usuing the etcher one too, but now that the USB drive is ruined I can't seem to do anything with it | 00:42 |
| leftyfb | use etcher, as per the link you posted "For most users we recommend balenaEtcher instead of Rufus which is simpler to use and also available on MacOS and Ubuntu." | 00:42 |
| raj_ | leftyfb ya but I read that after I already did this, and now balenaEtcher doesn't work on this usb drive anymore, nothing seems to work on this drive anymore | 00:43 |
| leftyfb | define "doesn't work" | 00:43 |
| raj_ | it keeps saying out of space, or write-protected, depending on the context | 00:44 |
| leftyfb | raj_: maybe reboot and try it again. At this point though, you'll want to seek help in #windows or etcher support | 00:45 |
| raj_ | using diskpart and attributes disk clear readonly, doesn't work either | 00:46 |
| raj_ | leftyfb, oh you think this is windows related? I thought it was more related to the FAT32 format type I selected in Rufus + using a Ubuntu ISO file that's 5.7 GB | 00:47 |
| leftyfb | raj_: properly writing an iso to a usb flash drive has nothing to do with the format of the drive before writing. It all gets wiped anyway so it doesn't matter | 00:48 |
| leftyfb | raj_: I would seek support from #windows or maybe #hardware. At the moment it's unrelated to Ubuntu | 00:49 |
| raj_ | I meant the format I chose on rufus, which was fat32 | 00:49 |
| raj_ | ok | 00:49 |
| raj_ | thanks | 00:49 |
| leftyfb | don't use rufus | 00:49 |

| alch3mist | hey, my upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 didn't go as planned, apparently the upgrade is broken. I wanted to see if there is a way that I can back up my settings, apps, and configurations I already made in 22.04 before wiping the drive? I already backed up my /home so I guess I'm good there. I just want to see what from / should I back up? | 03:45 |
| karenw | /etc is where any system-wide config will be stored, if you changed it. | 03:46 |
| alch3mist | and would be advisable to copy /etc back into my fresh install? | 03:47 |
| helloha | I just put a second SSD into my computer and want to install ubuntu to it. When I go into the Ubuntu Installer (usb drive) it asks if I want to install ubuntu alongside windows boot manager, will this put grub bootloader on the blank ssd drive as well and leave the SSD with windows 11 (and the windows boot loader) on it untouched? | 03:49 |
| karenw | alch3mist: No! You want it for reference, it shouldn't just be copied in it's entirety to a system running a different OS version. | 03:51 |
| alch3mist | thanks karenw, how about the packages I had installed? where can I find those? | 03:52 |
| karenw | helloha: That is a difficult question that depends on your firmware. The two word answer is "probabally not". | 03:52 |
| alch3mist | I see there is a /snap directory so I assume I can keep that for my snap packages, but how about the deb ones? | 03:52 |
| alch3mist | also my gnome extensions | 03:53 |
| karenw | /var/lib/dpkg/status apparently is where you'll find the full list of packages on your system. But it you are recovering from a borked distribution upgrade it might not be useful. | 03:55 |
| karenw | It's also a bit of a "drinking from the firehose" type of information dump that is only technically human readable. | 03:56 |
| alch3mist | thanks, What really bugged me what having to reconfigure gnome and vscode to my liking again | 03:56 |
| alch3mist | was having* | 03:56 |
| Bashing-om | alch3mist: migrating installed packages: see in terminal ' apt show debfoster ' . | 03:56 |
| alch3mist | Bashing-om, I can't log into the broken installation anymore, right now I'm on a live media and not sure how I can run that command to see my other system's packages | 03:58 |
| helloha | thanks karenw, so essentially I must choose the manual installation? | 04:01 |
| helloha | or erase disk and install ubuntu | 04:02 |
| helloha | I wasn't sure which disk it wanted to erase lol | 04:02 |
| karenw | It probabally wouldn't erase Windows. But it probabally will install the bootloader to the first drive OR change the firmware to boot from the second drive first. So taking the disk back out would leave you with a potentially broken system. | 04:04 |
| karenw | And while I could probabally get myself personally out of that state without destroying anything, I wouldn't recommend it. | 04:04 |
| helloha | thank you karenw, I'll do the custom route then | 04:14 |

| markus | this patch should go into Ubuntu ASAP | 05:21 |
| markus | not sure if a bugreport at launchpad would pipe this issue to the correct person immediately, maybe someone else from the ubuntu team should forward that | 05:23 |
| markus | it's about the USB problem which can crash the entire system | 05:24 |
| markus | this will solve the problem where it happens, a detailed discussion about the code path is still ongoing (in my opinion this function should not be called in case of an error, and not just check the data structure) | 05:25 |
| raj_ | can I use virtualbox to use my 2nd SSD which has ubuntu installed on it (otherwise accessed by booting the computer to it) | 05:31 |
| markus | it should be possible I did something similar recently | 05:32 |
| raj_ | can I use virtualbox (installed on windows 11) to use my 2nd SSD which has ubuntu installed on it (otherwise accessed by booting the computer to it) | 05:32 |
| raj_ | markus no corruption concerns or anything, right? | 05:32 |
| markus | you will find 2 different posts out there, one group claiming it's not possible but there are also other ones which made it work | 05:32 |
| markus | it worked for me | 05:32 |
| raj_ | any guide you can recommend? | 05:33 |
| markus | I did that a few weeks ago ... no idea about the documentation anymore sorry | 05:34 |
| raj_ | gotcha, np | 05:34 |
| markus | but you have to create a VM and link the physical device node with it | 05:34 |
| raj_ | markus, it was vbox that you used too? | 05:35 |
| markus | yes | 05:35 |
| markus | I know someone mentioned on a post that it's not possible, just ignore that particular post (you'll possibly get around the same one when searching for it) | 05:36 |

| Hiryu | Is it possible to automatically sign custom kernels for secure boot in Ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| oerheks | yes, an extensive howto https://github.com/berglh/ubuntu-sb-kernel-signing | 06:02 |
| Hiryu | thanks! | 06:02 |
| oerheks | official https://ubuntu.com/blog/how-to-sign-things-for-secure-boot | 06:02 |
| Hiryu | okay, so this isn't built-in it looks like? | 06:03 |
| oerheks | nope | 06:03 |
| oerheks | why building your own? | 06:03 |
| Hiryu | It's a bit of a hobby and something I've been doing since the 90s. Also keeps me updated on newer features | 06:04 |
| oerheks | oh oke, yes it is fun | 06:04 |
| Hiryu | I just thought i was doing something wrong... maybe missing kernel options | 06:04 |
| Hiryu | I was for module signing :D | 06:04 |
| oerheks | yes, you need to do both | 06:04 |
| Hiryu | now it seems the modules are being signed, just not the kernel | 06:04 |
| raj_ | markus, when I try to create the .vmdk it says that the disk is in use | 06:08 |
| plaisthos | Google search is failing me since my search term give me a ton of old guides but what the new way with ubuntu.sources (isntead of sources.list) to enable deb-src? | 06:09 |
| oerheks | in the update gui, there is an option to enable deb-src, manually delete the '#' at the beginning of the deb-src line | 06:13 |
| oerheks | there is no apt-add-repository command for the sourcecode IIRC | 06:14 |
| plaisthos | oerheks: there are no deb-src lines anymore in my ubuntu.sources | 06:15 |
| plaisthos | And there is no gui on that machine :) | 06:15 |
| oerheks | oh oke, no worries, there is a hidden copy >> /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list | 06:15 |
| plaisthos | I know that there used to be deb-src lines but this new file format of 24.10 is different | 06:15 |
| oerheks | copy that back, and enable universe again, that is disabled | 06:16 |
| oerheks | oh, different? | 06:16 |
| oerheks | i am still on 24.04 and 22.04 .. | 06:16 |

| Bashing-om | plaisthos: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-apt-deb822-sources-by-default/29333 - at the top is an example to enable -src. | 06:16 |
| plaisthos | Bashing-om: thanks, that is what I was looking for | 06:17 |
| * oerheks reading... | 06:17 | |
| Hiryu | oerheks: Wow... It actually worked on the first try! I'm running my custom kernel with secure boot on. Thanks! | 06:18 |
| oerheks | !yay | 06:19 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 06:19 |
| oerheks | have fun! | 06:19 |
| Hiryu | Also glad I'm not the only one who has fun with custom kernels :D | 06:19 |
| plaisthos | yeah I did need deb-src stuff since I wanted to know how long building an ubuntu kernel would tkae on that machine | 06:21 |
| Hiryu | I remember doing a custom kernel compile on a 50 MHz 32-bit SPARC back in the day... took around 8 hours IIRC | 06:22 |
| plaisthos | I hope this machine is faster :P | 06:22 |
| Hiryu | this was in 1999 so it was a 2.2 series kernel | 06:22 |
| plaisthos | but compiling a really custom kernel with a small set of modules is a lot of faster than a fat Ubuntu kernel with a ton of modules enabled | 06:23 |
| Hiryu | _yes_ | 06:23 |
| Hiryu | I strip down my kernels to just what I need | 06:23 |
| Hiryu | with the 2.2 series, this took around 20-25 minutes. With 2.4, it took around 45 minutes... With modern kernels... it takes a lot longer | 06:23 |
| plaisthos | it is not using all cores to compile with the debian/rules for some reason | 06:23 |
| Hiryu | how are you building? | 06:24 |
| oerheks | Hiryu, now build firefox .. just joking | 06:24 |
| plaisthos | basically this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel | 06:24 |
| Hiryu | I used kernel-package for a very long time, but finally in the last few years, I switched to "make -j$(nproc) bindeb-pkg" | 06:24 |
| plaisthos | running currently fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic binary-perarch | 06:24 |
| Hiryu | oerheks: I build firefox semi regularly under FreeBSD. It's either around 10 minutes or 20 minutes... I actually forgot which | 06:25 |
| Hiryu | the one that was really brutal was building OpenOffice | 06:25 |
| Hiryu | but I haven't built that in many years | 06:25 |
| plaisthos | according to top it uses around 30% CPU and most of the cores are idle %) | 06:26 |
| Hiryu | plaisthos: never tried it that way. But you can customize your kernel and run "make -j$(nproc) bindeb-pkg", probably more straight forward | 06:26 |
| plaisthos | I think it is already using nproc | 06:27 |
| Hiryu | hmm | 06:27 |
| plaisthos | The box might be running into some other bottleneck or the kernel build script is not good at parallesing | 06:30 |
| plaisthos | *shrug* | 06:30 |
| plaisthos | It might need more the -j64 for this system | 06:32 |
| plaisthos | from a official kernel make -j64 bindeb-pkg gets a lot lot lot closer to 100% CPU usage | 06:41 |
| plaisthos | not sure what the ubuntu package screws up there | 06:42 |
| oerheks | so make -j$(nproc) does not take 64 cores? | 06:45 |
| Hiryu | plastikman: it still builds a proper debianized kernel package. I've found I only need the linux-image and linux-headers package | 06:45 |
| Hiryu | s | 06:45 |
| zphinx | is there any particular reason why everything in 22.04 except wifi comes as unmanaged in 22.04? | 07:20 |
| tomreyn | zphinx: not per se. if this is a desktop installation, everything would be managed by network-manager by default. share some logs on a pastebin where suitable. | 07:25 |
| zphinx | tomreyn: i've fixed it already ,it was more of a general question, all our interfaces except wifi was coming up as unmanaged on our desktop installations, which had the managed=false in it. Along with 10-globally-managed-devices.conf 10-globally-managed-devices.conf having unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:gsm,except:type:cdma in it | 07:27 |
| zphinx | the fix was managed = true, touch unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:gsm,except:type:cdma && systemctl restart NetworkManager | 07:28 |
| tomreyn | zphinx: hmm, so maybe i was wrong in my assumption on defaults and ethernet isn't brought up automatically on desktops by default. or it's a local customization you have there. | 07:32 |
| tomreyn | anyways, glad you sorted it. | 07:32 |
| zphinx | yeah, maybe there's some reasoning behind it, and yes, its a local company custom built iso, but we dont touch on network settings. It is however a server iso with ubuntu-desktop added into the autoinstall, so maybe thats why | 07:34 |
| mgedmin | server probably wants systemd-networkd for wired interfaces | 07:36 |
| zphinx | yeah, that makes sense | 07:37 |
| mgedmin | but hmm, I'm on 24.10 desktop, and the network-manager packages ships a /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf that is like you said | 07:37 |
| mgedmin | unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi... | 07:37 |
| zphinx | recommeded way of autoinstalling an ubuntu-desktop prior to 24.04 is taking the sever image and adding anything you need ontop though | 07:38 |
| mgedmin | this change was made in 1.48.8-1ubuntu1 in oracular, according to apt changelog network-manager | 07:40 |
| mgedmin | looks like part of a whole bunch of netplan-related changes | 07:40 |
| tomreyn | i guess having both ethernet and wireless brought up automatically could irritate folks who have both, and maybe seem counter intuitive | 07:41 |
| mgedmin | "drop in an empty override file for NetworkManager to manage all devices for upgrade from any version, as long as there is no netplan configuration yet." | 07:41 |
| mgedmin | I think the desktop installer creates a default netplan .yml that tells network-manager to manage everything (including wired interfaces) | 07:42 |
| mgedmin | so 10-globally-managed-devices.conf is probably to allow sysadmins to disable ethernet interfaces by editing netplan YAMLs | 07:43 |
| zphinx | i first noticed the issue when i brought the work machine home ( im on the linux team, we are supposed to drink our own poison and work exclusively from the client we create and maintain ) | 07:43 |
| mgedmin | without having network-manager sneakily auto-enable them | 07:43 |
| zphinx | Then my isp took a dump on me, and i tried connecting my phone to share internet over bluetooth, and the device came up as unmanaged. | 07:44 |
| mgedmin | sounds like fun :/ | 07:44 |
| mgedmin | I don't think I ever plugged in an ethernet cable into my current 5-year-old laptop; when I share my phone's connection, I do so over wifi | 07:45 |

| jluc | default installed Thunderbird works like shit on a fresh ubuntu 22.04 install | 11:54 |
| jluc | i plan to uninstall that default snap and install the deb | 11:54 |
| sixwheeledbeast | 22.04? should be a deb IIRC | 11:54 |
| jluc | oups sorry 24.04 | 11:54 |
| sixwheeledbeast | you can use the mozillateam ppa for debs of firefox and tb | 11:54 |
| jluc | my profiles are not in default profile folder | 11:55 |
| sixwheeledbeast | they need pinning in apt higher than the snaps tho. | 11:55 |
| jluc | and i'm used to snap being unable to manage files outside of their own small closed spaces | 11:55 |
| jluc | :-/ | 11:56 |
| LP13 | tomreyn It's about a snap build that take too long 20 minutes, I meet ogra_ at a tech fair and want to share my build | 11:56 |
| sixwheeledbeast | also which version of tb is this? the debs have just updated from supernova to nebula | 11:57 |
| tomreyn | LP13: oh, i see. so he suggested to meet him here, i suppose? yif he offered this, you can actually /query ogra_ and talk to him directly (don't do it unless he offered it, though). | 11:57 |
| jluc | as for now it's 128.4.3esr (64 bits) and there is a kindof nebula logo | 11:58 |
| tomreyn | LP13: other than that, i suggest you just wait until he'll get back to you (be ready to remain connected for a day or two) | 11:58 |
| tomreyn | jluc: moving files on the file system is pretty easy and very fast | 11:59 |
| sixwheeledbeast | yer so its the latest then, I don't use the snap version so no idea how well nebula works as snap compared with supernova | 11:59 |
| jluc | which files do you mean ? | 12:00 |
| LP13 | tomreyn I will stay here and wait thx | 12:00 |
| jluc | my profiles folders are >50 Go | 12:00 |
| jluc | and moving them and launching a new TB on them appears quite risky | 12:00 |
| tomreyn | LP13: there's also the #snappy channel by the way | 12:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | it's a fresh install so I assume a backup is available? | 12:01 |
| tomreyn | jluc: moving files just means updates the information on which directory they are non, no actual data needs to be moved, so that's fast. | 12:02 |
| jluc | https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-thunderbird-linux recommends flatpack btw | 12:02 |
| tomreyn | jluc: you should have backups for any relevant data | 12:02 |
| jluc | sure | 12:02 |
| jluc | but when i test the new install, mails are coming, when POP they wont ever come again | 12:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | POP :( | 12:03 |
| jluc | so i have to hope that the profile doesnt corrupts | 12:04 |
| tomreyn | you can configure most pop3 clients to not delete the server copy. that includes thunderbird | 12:04 |
| jluc | there is not enough room on my mail servers for 20 years of mails ! | 12:05 |
| jluc | lol | 12:05 |
| jluc | maybe i should get rid of old mails | 12:06 |
| tomreyn | well, youseemed to be talking about newly arriving mail. mail you already downloaded should be part of your backups. | 12:06 |
| jluc | and retire | 12:06 |
| jluc | yes backup for 2 days old mails (and older), at least on previous computer | 12:07 |
| jluc | no backup for new mails continuously arriving | 12:07 |
| jluc | but they mix : i cannot say "place new mails in that new separate place" | 12:07 |
| tomreyn | this sounds like you need to come up with a better backup strategy. | 12:10 |
| jluc | yes, TB is not a tool for archiving and searching old mails | 12:11 |
| tomreyn | i suggest moving old mail (maybe older than 3 or 5 years) out of thunderbird, and compressing it. | 12:11 |
| jluc | is there any nice tool to archive and read and search old mails ? | 12:12 |
| jluc | TB is the best i know of, as for now, but not perfect when reaching more than a dozen of Go of mails and several hundred subfolders | 12:12 |
| jluc | i've been thinking of splitting old vs recent mails and create a special TB profile for old mails | 12:13 |
| jluc | but for me it feels like splitting my brain and entering schizophrenia | 12:14 |
| jluc | so i downloaded TB but there is no readme for install | 12:18 |
| jluc | it looks like a set of execs | 12:18 |
| jluc | along with .so files | 12:18 |
| jluc | ls ;: https://termbin.com/rg6z | 12:19 |
| jluc | yes they are execs | 12:22 |
| jluc | lets jump then, uninstall snap and go on these execs | 12:22 |
| jluc | \/usr/bin/thunderbird is a script that tests /snap/bin/thunderbird | 12:27 |
| jluc | creates a .desktop and launches the snap | 12:27 |
| jluc | i'll have to wipe it ? | 12:27 |
| jluc | create a new .desktop also | 12:28 |
| jluc | nope :-/ new TB doesnt read old profiles pfff hope i didnt nuke them | 12:35 |
| jluc | of course i still have saved old mails but lost the last day or 2 days of new mails | 12:40 |
| jluc | is it possibly a flatpack ? | 12:41 |
| jluc | nope it doesnt run with "flatpack run" but plain "thunderbird" | 12:42 |
| jluc | could be an appimage but not with all these .so | 12:42 |
| * jluc now installing via deb ppa | 12:48 | |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:28 |
| LP13 | waiting for @ogra_ | 13:29 |
| lotuspsychje | LP13: volunteers already suggested to ask your question here, not everyone is always around here | 13:29 |
| LP13 | yes but I want to reach ogra personally because, I meet then at a techfair and want to speak about a problem that we discuss together | 13:31 |
| leftyfb | LP13: https://launchpad.net/~ogra | 13:32 |
| leftyfb | LP13: that's how you reach him. This is'nt the appropriate place. | 13:33 |
| LP13 | @lettyfb can't see the email adress because I don't have direct Ubuntu account, can you give it to me ? | 13:34 |
| lotuspsychje | that link to LP should be public LP13 | 13:37 |
| lotuspsychje | you need an account to file bugs on LP | 13:37 |
| JanC | the e-mail address is hidden when you don't log in, but it's not hard to create an account | 13:38 |
| lotuspsychje | ah | 13:38 |
| leftyfb | LP13: signing up for a launchpad account is free and is a useful tool for people who want to be part of ubuntu community. It's also useful is acquiring the information you seek | 13:38 |
| JanC | also, he has contact info in other places also :) | 13:38 |
| sem | I am looking for help/walkthrough using ubuntu to recover data from a failing harddrive. My google-fu is failing me, but my instinct is I need to image the drive first, and then perform recovery on that. Sound reasonable? | 13:40 |
| lotuspsychje | sem: is it internal or external dying? | 13:41 |
| sem | Would ddrescue be the tool for this, and even though the drive is 2TB, can I find out if I need less space than 2 TB to recover the data? -- lotuspsychje it is external 2TB, small NTFS part, and large ext4 part | 13:42 |
| lotuspsychje | sem: i would photorec the whole drive, see what you still can rescue, save data to another media | 13:43 |
| JanC | sem: make an image with ddrescue, and yes you'll need 2 TB for the image, then up to another 2 TB to save rescued files from it with photorec or similar tools | 13:43 |
| sem | ok i can look into photorec and ddrescue... too bad it takes so much data.... Can I use Network-Attached-Storage as a target with photorec or ddrescue? (Samba?) | 13:44 |
| JanC | although in theory you could image the partitions separately | 13:44 |
| LP13 | leftyfb ok I don't knew it, I will create an account | 13:45 |
| sem | i am not sure I trust Samba with that much data... is that a valid concern? | 13:46 |
| JanC | sem: I think the image is better local, especially when using photorec & similar tools, for access speed reasons, but I suppose on a NAS should work if you have no other choice | 13:46 |
| vlt | sem: Yes, you can use any type of writable storage for ddrescue. Do that first and try photorec or similar tools only on that image. | 13:47 |
| sem | ok that sounds reasonable -- I will mount the samba share, run ddrescue pointing toward it as a start before the drive deteriorates further. Later I can work on getting it local. | 13:48 |
| vlt | sem: And: Use the third argument to ddrescue that will create a mapfile while rescuing. | 13:48 |
| JanC | in fact, you might be able to run photorec & other such tools local ont he NAS probably | 13:49 |
| lotuspsychje | agree on local | 13:49 |
| JanC | you can also re-run ddrescue to retry still-missing sectors if it didn't copy the whole image after the default number of attempts (see the manual) | 13:52 |
| lotuspsychje | the faster you rescue the data, the better | 13:53 |
| JanC | sem: also, how badly is it failing? | 13:54 |
| JanC | if it's just SMART warnings and not a lot of actual read failures then the image might still be mountable (although it's best to mount a copy of the image, as it might alter data on the file system, and if you are unlucky you could lose data that way too!) | 13:57 |
| sem | Well it is SMART warnings but also I was not able to mount it and was getting warnings that it was in use | 14:00 |
| sem | Dmesg had some scary repeating messages that I didn't save | 14:01 |
| === esv_ is now known as esv | ||
| sem | It was also keeping the raspi from rebooting somehow -- I would do sudo reboot and it would hang until I unplugged the drive | 14:01 |
| sem | (it is an externally powered drive) | 14:02 |
| sem | Ok I have a local drive big enough but it is 'ntfs3' format. I think Ubuntu can use that natively right? | 14:03 |
| JanC | it can, although not as reliable as a linux filesystem would be | 14:08 |
| JanC | sem: it might be the external power supply failing | 14:08 |
| sem | That would be good news if true. Not sure how I could test it, but I could possibly try replacing the power supply and see if it works better | 14:10 |
| sem | thanks for the idea | 14:10 |

| babuula | is there a command to install a .deb package that automatically gets all the dependencies is available in launchpad or pkgs.org? i tried gdebi but it doesn't find them automatically. i'm looking for hexchat 2.16.2 .deb, i don't like that flatpak system because it uses strange directories. | 14:29 |
| connstruct | babuula: My suggestion would be to familiarize yourself with how snap/flatpak works rather than trying to go that route. | 14:30 |
| connstruct | Because compared to what you're suggesting, snaps or flatpaks are going to be much easier. | 14:31 |
| connstruct | babuula: Or, a better question: That version of hexchat is in the ubuntu package repos. You don't need to mess with a .deb or a snap/flatpak. | 14:34 |
| connstruct | Why not just install it directly from the repo? | 14:34 |
| babuula | connstruct: right, it must have been updated recently! i'll try installing... | 14:37 |
| sixwheeledbeast | babuula: the main benefit to using the repos and apt is to manage dependencies. are you on an old version of ubuntu because that version is in the repos | 14:38 |

| leftyfb | babuula: mind you, ubuntu 21.x isn't supported here | 14:56 |

| jluc | it looks like i've managed to use thunderbird on top of my moved profile folders | 15:51 |
| jluc | thanks to thunderbird PPA | 15:57 |
| zphinx | the wonderful world of thunderbird | 15:58 |
| leftyfb | jluc: why not use the snap which is the latest version and supported here? | 15:58 |
| zphinx | where you have to pay a monthly subscription to use office365 with an addon | 15:58 |
| jluc | the snap was full of issues | 15:59 |
| leftyfb | zphinx: huh? | 15:59 |
| leftyfb | jluc: what issues? I've been using it for over a year now with no issues | 15:59 |
| jluc | worst of issues were, i suppose, related to the fact that my profile exist outside of TB usual profile folder | 15:59 |
| zphinx | leftyfb: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/owl-for-exchange/ | 15:59 |
| test_ | test | 16:00 |
| leftyfb | that's not an issue, that's just a location which can be changed or copied | 16:00 |
| jluc | and as a consequence the settings werent remembered | 16:00 |
| jluc | i had to type passwords for every account each time | 16:00 |
| Minvera | Having the weirdest issue on ubuntu 22 where unplugging my microphone from the headset jack removes the headphones sound card from my settings | 16:00 |
| jluc | and pluggins settings werent remembered neither | 16:00 |
| Minvera | when the headphones are plugged into the back | 16:00 |
| jluc | i also had other issues like not being able to copy to: or from: using dropdown menus | 16:01 |
| leftyfb | zphinx: I have 9 accounts on my thunderbird. 2 of which are Exchange accounts. Zero issues | 16:01 |
| jluc | and it was very sloooooww to load | 16:02 |
| jluc | (launch) | 16:02 |
| jluc | i feel much more secure with the PPA | 16:02 |
| leftyfb | just be aware that it's unsupported here | 16:02 |
| leftyfb | and none of the issues you have mentioned I experience and I use the hell out of thunderbird | 16:03 |
| jluc | ah | 16:03 |
| jluc | yes TB is important to me and i was very frightened to have all these issues | 16:04 |
| leftyfb | my profile store is 33G :) | 16:04 |
| jluc | mine is about twice with 20 year old mails | 16:04 |
| leftyfb | only 20? | 16:05 |
| jluc | i could sort and delete but when it works it's better | 16:05 |
| jluc | about | 16:05 |
| jluc | after moving repos, i began with snap and had these issues | 16:06 |
| jluc | then i installed the exec files available on TB.net (which come along with loads of .so files) | 16:06 |
| jluc | and i couldnt access my mails anymore at all | 16:07 |
| jluc | then i found that PPA and all is fine again | 16:07 |
| jluc | after moving profiles (not repos) on new computer | 16:08 |
| jluc | see : i first trusted default ubuntu proposition but nope wasnt ok | 16:08 |
| sixwheeledbeast | is owl exchange addon even needed any more? | 16:09 |
| leftyfb | I have email and calendaring working for 2x exchange accounts, so I don't think so | 16:09 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Yer I thought that was for exchange compatibility a long time ago but not required now | 16:11 |
| leftyfb | jluc: you got me curious so I did a little digging. I think my oldest email stored in thunderbird is from September 1998 | 16:15 |
| jluc | yeah ! | 16:15 |
| jluc | i got some that pretend to originate 1970 but i wouldnt trust that :-) | 16:20 |

| LordDoskias | actually my problem is with the scanning functionality, not printing | 18:04 |
| LordDoskias | printing works, but it's a multifunction device | 18:04 |
| LordDoskias | on ubuntu 22.04 it used to work out of the box i.e without having to install any specific drivers or anything like that | 18:05 |
| tomreyn | oh, ok, the scanner. which scanning application are you using? simplescan? | 18:06 |

| ravage | you miss a 9 | 18:27 |
| yeeter2012 | bye bye | 18:28 |
| LordDoskias | tomreyn, are there alternatives? | 18:28 |
| LordDoskias | apt search xsane | 18:29 |
| LordDoskias | if i scan with xsane it also works | 18:31 |
| ioria | LordDoskias, did you run 'simple-scan --debug' ? | 18:32 |
| LordDoskias | ioria, yes, and provided the log a little earlier | 18:32 |
| LordDoskias | https://pastebin.com/quggWZSw | 18:32 |
| ioria | LordDoskias, ok, try again without --debug | 18:32 |
| LordDoskias | no change | 18:32 |
| tomreyn | LordDoskias: oh, nice. did you retry with simple-scan after installing scangearmp2? | 18:32 |
| LordDoskias | tomreyn, yes - no luck ... | 18:33 |
| LordDoskias | my scanner actually doesn't have a document feeder o-O | 18:33 |
| tomreyn | oh, weird | 18:34 |
| ioria | LordDoskias, try to remove ~/.cache/simple-scan/ | 18:34 |
| LordDoskias | same thing | 18:35 |
| LordDoskias | so running scanimage --help give sthe following for my device: | 18:35 |
| tomreyn | https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan#debugging suggests that the options simple-scan uses may differ from those the other tools are using. you should be able to see which ones those use and make simple-scan use the same options | 18:36 |
| tomreyn | looks like you're already doing so :) | 18:36 |
| LordDoskias | https://pastebin.com/TX4t6tvU so the only possible source is really flatbed | 18:36 |
| tomreyn | is this the output of scanimage --help -d DEVICE ? | 18:38 |
| tomreyn | DEVICE would need to be replaced, not sure by what exactly | 18:38 |
| LordDoskias | it's the output of --help but after the generic help it prints the device-specific options | 18:39 |
| tomreyn | had you tried whether there is a web interface at https://192.168.0.7 which provides more information? | 18:40 |
| tomreyn | ah, escl:https://192.168.0.7:443 is the device | 18:41 |
| LordDoskias | scanimage -d escl:https://192.168.0.7:443 -o ~/test.pdf - doing this works | 18:41 |
| LordDoskias | meaning driver-wise everything is working | 18:41 |
| tomreyn | yes, that'd be why xsane and the vendor tool work | 18:41 |
| tomreyn | so it's an issue with this version of scan-image not using the same options, i'm guessing | 18:42 |
| LordDoskias | ;\ | 18:43 |
| tomreyn | i meant to write: so it's an issue with this version of simple-scan not using the same options, i'm guessing | 18:44 |
| LordDoskias | ;\ | 18:46 |
| tomreyn | had you tried running export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 before you start simple-scan and run a scan? | 18:46 |
| tomreyn | or to compare the options used by simple-scan - as listed at https://pastebin.com/raw/quggWZSw - by those used by xsane? | 18:47 |
| LordDoskias | since it correctly loads the pixma backend and finds my pixma device i'd say this won't help much ... | 18:47 |
| tomreyn | ...or those used by scanimage | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | the "sane_control_option" lines seem to say which options simple-scan uses | 18:49 |
| LordDoskias | [+21,43s] DEBUG: scanner.vala:1352: sane_start (page=0, pass=0) -> SANE_STATUS_NO_DOCS | 18:50 |
| === ericus0 is now known as ericus | ||
| LordDoskias | https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/blob/master/src/scanner.vala#L1355 | 18:51 |
| LordDoskias | so for some reason when using sane inside the app it just returns no odocs | 18:52 |
| === waveform_ is now known as waveform | ||
| tomreyn | LordDoskias: so when i run export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255; scanimage -v -d DEVICE -o /tmp/test.pdf >/tmp/log 2>&1 i get to see a lot of details, and the options scanimage is using, and can compare them to those simple-scan uses | 19:02 |
| === magnec is now known as Umit | ||
| tomreyn | actually, sane-dll(5) only knows of SANE_DEBUG_DLL values 0..4 | 19:07 |
| tomreyn | sane-pixma(5) discusses more options | 19:09 |
| tomreyn | LordDoskias: i'll stop here for now, good luck. | 19:09 |
| === NeoFrontier is now known as NeoFrontier-pass | ||
| NeoFrontier-pass | Ok, so what is up with this right click to add a new file missing in ubuntu 24 ? ( only add a directory is present...) | 19:17 |
| bprompt | hmmm NeoFrontier-pass depends on the file manager you use I take it, I use Konqueror for my file manager, and I have New > [about 14 choices] | 19:20 |
| leftyfb | NeoFrontier-pass: https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/04/enable-new-document-context-menu-in-ubuntu-17-04/ | 19:21 |
| leftyfb | you just need to add the template for it | 19:21 |
| NeoFrontier-pass | bprompt, is guess its nautilus the default which always had new file... | 19:21 |
| leftyfb | NeoFrontier-pass: I don't think it's ever had "new file". It goes by templates | 19:22 |
| NeoFrontier-pass | no it just says files under about... | 19:22 |
| leftyfb | NeoFrontier-pass: follow the link I posted | 19:22 |
| leftyfb | that tells you how to add to the context menu | 19:22 |
| NeoFrontier-pass | leftyfb, thanks :D | 19:22 |
| mh_le | how do I set the locale for my user? | 20:34 |
| leftyfb | mh_le: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale | 20:35 |
| leftyfb | first result on google when searcning for "ubuntu locale" | 20:35 |
| mh_le | not on my search :) | 20:36 |
| leftyfb | it does for me on 3 different devices with 3 different browsers, all in pirvate/incognito mode | 20:38 |
| mh_le | if you say so | 20:38 |
| leftyfb | mh_le: can you show me a screenshot of your browser searching google.com for "ubuntu locale"? I'm very curious | 20:39 |

| morgan-u | re Pluma: my computer shut down (I flipped the breaker) is there a backup file anlywhere if I didnt save the file at all? 22.04 | 22:02 |
| JanC | which Pluma? | 22:09 |
| JanC | the MATE text editor? | 22:10 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I wouldn't expect so | 22:12 |
| leftyfb | morgan-u: unlikely. Depends on the application | 22:19 |
| sixwheeledbeast | autosave isn't on by default and I would think you would know if it's on as you get popups in the gui | 22:28 |
