| webchat56 | Hello, | 01:22 |
| webchat56 | I have added a second hard drive to my laptop (msi vector) in order to install Linux on it. I asked an engineer to perform the installation, but he told me he was unable to complete it successfully. | 01:22 |
| webchat56 | This was the message he sent me: | 01:22 |
| webchat56 | I tried to install Linux but was unsuccessful. I'm not sure why; the manufacturer may have locked the device to prevent installation. | 01:22 |
| webchat56 | I suggest you contact the store where you made the purchase or the manufacturer's service center for further assistance. | 01:22 |
| webchat56 | Could you please give me some suggestions to facilitate the installation of Linux on this secondary hard drive? Could you please suggest me a place in Taipei that provides Linux installation service? | 01:22 |

| pes | Hello. I've encountered a bug of sorts when installing 'libsdl1.2-dev:i386' package but I'm not sure how to report it. I'm not able to use ubuntu-bug. It says package isn't installed when I enter it with :i386, and I can't install it as it breaks the OS | 09:54 |
| pes | Any advice on how to proceed? | 09:54 |
| pes | just to clarify - I'm quite new to linux in general. I'm following the instructions for manually reporting a bug, but it wants me to test the upstream release of the package and I'm not sure what that means or how to do it | 10:02 |
| mgedmin | in this case I think it's okay if you skip some steps that are not applicable to your situation | 10:05 |
| mgedmin | apt show libsdl1.2-dev tells me 'Source: sdl12-compat' | 10:06 |
| mgedmin | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sdl12-compat has no bugs currently, and there's a "report a bug" link on the right | 10:07 |
| mgedmin | I would use that and describe (1) what version of Ubuntu I'm running, (2) the apt install command line I run, and (3) the full output of the failing apt install command | 10:07 |
| pes | brilliant, thanks | 10:08 |
| mgedmin | also, why are you trying to install the :i386 version of the -dev package? are you cross-compiling things for some 32-bit console? | 10:08 |
| mgedmin | usually you need :i386 versions of library packages (with no -dev suffix) when you run 32-bit binaries through Wine or some other compatibility layer (usually built on top of Wine, like Steam's Proton) | 10:09 |
| pes | someone's made a replacement executable for an old game Syndicate Wars and it requires 32-bit libraries for sdl | 10:09 |
| mgedmin | and you need -dev packages only when you're compiling stuff from source, which normally means you need your native architecture (:amd64) of the -dev | 10:09 |
| mgedmin | so that's case (1) and you should install libsdl1.2-compat | 10:10 |
| * mgedmin is on ubuntu 24.10, package names might differ across versions | 10:10 | |
| mgedmin | also, I forgot the :i386 suffix | 10:11 |
| mgedmin | hmm, apt show talks about this being a transitional package; maybe you need libsdl1.2debian instead | 10:11 |
| mgedmin | I'm not sure how transitional packages and foreign architectures interoperate in ubuntu | 10:12 |
| mgedmin | (i.e. if you see apt install libsdl1.2-compat:i386 pulling in libsdl1.2debian:amd64, that will not be helpful, so apt install libsdl1.2debian:i386 instead) | 10:13 |
| pes | strange, the package isn't available any more. It was there yesterday | 10:14 |
| pes | ah, that debian package looks like it would do the job. Thanks | 10:16 |

| nick_name | Hello | 12:23 |
| apresas- | Yeah hello | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:26 |
| fweht | currently using x instead of wayland, here firefox remembers when i save something, from which websites i save to which directories. this is super nice, but i remember the last time i used wayland, it didnt work. has it improved by now? | 12:29 |
| jelly | how do I show video on the second monitor while screen is locked instead of the default standby-ed output? Ubuntu 20.04 | 12:32 |
| mgedmin | fweht: I don't think wayland has anything to do with which save dialog firefox uses? | 12:53 |
| mgedmin | but yes, there's the thing where a sandboxed app (firefox) either cannot see part of the filesystem due to snap sandboxing, or it uses the new desktop portal interface for the save as dialog | 12:54 |
| mgedmin | and currently the xdg-desktop-portal-gnome does not remember the previously used directories for each app | 12:54 |
| fweht | mgedmin: yes, and under X it not only remembers on a per app base but even on a per website base which is super convenient | 12:55 |
| fweht | really not wanting to switch back to wayland rn | 12:55 |
| mgedmin | possibly firefox ties these unrelated things together ("oh the user wants wayland, they probably also want the desktop portal since they love the bleeding edge"), but that is still surprising to me | 12:55 |
| fweht | im using snap firefox, so its still sandboxed i guess | 12:56 |
| fweht | maybe it can only see and remember user folders | 12:57 |
| fweht | aah so its about xdg-desktop-portal-gnome which i dont have when using xfce and has nothing to do with wayland? | 13:01 |
| mgedmin | presumably you have xdg-desktop-portal-somethingelse | 13:07 |
| mgedmin | afaiu there's a generic xdg-desktop-portal that uses a bunch of files to cross-reference against XDG_SESSION_TYPE environment vars and launch the appropriate portal implementation for your desktop | 13:08 |
| mgedmin | xfce uses xdg-desktop-portal-gtk maybe? I dunno | 13:08 |
| mgedmin | or maybe without a portal firefox uses its own native dialog? you can probably check by looking in /tmp and seeing if it matches your real /tmp, or if it's the sandboxed snap /tmp that doesn't show any of the real /tmp files | 13:09 |
| fweht | i can open stuff from /tmp which is weird | 13:19 |
| fweht | ah it then opens the url `file:///run/user/...`but i cant open `file:///tmp/...` | 13:20 |
| fweht | so it seems to bridge it. but `fish_config` for example doesnt work without localhost. maybe i should switch back to non-sandboxed firefox. | 13:20 |
| sem | ddrescue is done with my 2 TB drive. It found 5 mb of bad areas. I'm going to mount the image or use photorec. The guide I'm looking at talks about finding offsets, but maybe photorec can do this automatically? I will try | 13:23 |
| sem | heh, 'discover' doesn't have photorec or testdisk, but 'apt install testdisk' still works as expected | 13:32 |
| lotuspsychje | sem: photorec is inside testdisk | 13:33 |
| sem | i expected searching 'testdisk' in discover would let me download it, but it wasn't there. Neither was photorec. | 13:34 |
| === gnubio is now known as bio | ||
| lotuspsychje | !info testdisk | 13:35 |
| ubottu | testdisk (7.1-5+nmu1build2, noble): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Built by testdisk. Size 399 kB / 1,437 kB | 13:35 |
| === bio is now known as biodigital | ||
| sem | would you expect it not to be findable by discover? | 13:35 |
| Fetiche | Hi! | 13:36 |
| lotuspsychje | sem: are you using an official flavour of ubuntu? | 13:36 |
| sem | yes, Ubuntu Studio | 13:37 |
| sem | 24.04 | 13:37 |
| lotuspsychje | sem: then it should be on repos/universe | 13:37 |
| sem | it was in the repos, via apt. just not discover | 13:37 |
| sem | i'm using photorec on the smaller of the two partitions in the disk image | 13:44 |
| sem | and I am not sure if it will preserve the folder hierarchy or not (maybe not) | 13:44 |
| sem | so for the larger partition that I care more about, maybe I will try something else | 13:45 |
| lotuspsychje | just scan the whole thing, rescue as many data as you can while your dying drive spins | 13:45 |
| sem | something like 'sudo fsck -y backup.img' and then use the offsets to mount the partition | 13:45 |
| sem | I already imaged it with ddrescue | 13:46 |
| lotuspsychje | ah | 13:46 |
| lotuspsychje | a good idea with photorec is setting the filetypes too | 13:46 |
| lotuspsychje | that makes you gain a lot of time | 13:46 |
| sem | that makes sense | 13:46 |
| lotuspsychje | the filetypes you really dont need, dont enable those | 13:47 |
| sem | it would be good if they had a list of filetypes and you can go through and select the ones you care about | 13:47 |
| lotuspsychje | it has | 13:47 |
| sem | i can try that | 13:47 |
| lotuspsychje | use the arrows to [file opt] | 13:48 |
| sem | without that setting, photorec is recovering a bunch including .tx? and .elf which i've never heard of | 13:49 |

| Guest10 | Thanks | 14:23 |
| lotuspsychje | how can we help you Guest10 | 14:27 |
| tomreyn | sem: it is unexpected to me that discover would (after having it refresh package information) not offer testdisk, but then i know not much about how discover works. | 15:03 |
| oerheks | testdisk is part of universe, maybe not enabled (server) | 15:05 |
| tomreyn | #ubuntustudio and #kubuntu should be better places to inquire about discover, though, because it's a QT/kde/plasma tool | 15:05 |
| tomreyn | oerheks: sem stated that testdisk was available through apt CLI, not discover. | 15:06 |
| oerheks | hmm, that is odd. | 15:06 |
| Guest86 | I have a question about rsync logging. I am logging an rsync cronjob but i only want to log files that changed (update,move,new,delete,etc). Is there a flag or something I can set to only log changes and not list every file/directory? | 15:13 |
| tomreyn | Guest86: i'm not sure if you can choose what it logged, but you can choose how (and in which detail) actions are logged using --log-file-format=FORMAT - and you can later grep the log. | 15:18 |
| genii | Guest86: There seems to be some info about using the --itemize-changes flag here https://serverfault.com/questions/618735/how-to-output-a-list-of-changed-files-from-rsync | 15:18 |
| JohnnyNobbit | Hello | 15:19 |
| tomreyn | hello JohnnyNobbit | 15:19 |
| Guest86 | I am trying (and failing) to find details about the syntax for --log-file-format. The man page mentions rsyncd man, but I dont see any details about how to configure that. Does anyone have a link? | 15:19 |
| tomreyn | correctly, the rsync (client) man page (rsync(1)) mentions the rsyncd.conf (rsyncd.conf(5)) man page. so you'd run "man 5 rsyncd.conf". manpages are also available at https://manpages.ubuntu.com | 15:22 |
| Guest86 | thanks tomreyn | 15:24 |
| tomreyn | and there, you'd want the "log format" paragraph, which is part of "MODULE PARAMETERS" | 15:25 |

| tomreyn | greetings pisignage | 16:32 |
| pisignage | I am connected tu ubuntu by remote desktop, and I am trying to open a browser but it is not working. | 16:33 |
| pisignage | How do you fix this prob. | 16:33 |
| pisignage | ? | 16:33 |
| tomreyn | the web browser is not starting when you click on the icon? | 16:33 |
| pisignage | I have purged through terminal and have tried reinstalling and starting firefox from terminal but no luck. | 16:34 |
| pisignage | No it doesn't. | 16:34 |
| tomreyn | what happens when you run it from a terminal? and how do you? | 16:34 |
| pisignage | This only happens when i remote into the machine. | 16:35 |
| pisignage | If i open it directly from the machine everything works fine. | 16:35 |
| tomreyn | i see. so: what happens when you run firefox from a terminal? and how do you? | 16:36 |
| tomreyn | using the remote desktop session, that is | 16:36 |
| pisignage | i do firefox & | 16:36 |

| pisignage | I am using 22.04.5 LTS | 16:39 |
| tomreyn | are you using the remote desktop server integrated into gnome-shell, which can be configured and activated in Gnome Settings? | 16:39 |
| pisignage | I am using xorg | 16:40 |
| oerheks | seems like this old issue https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/cannot-launch-snap-applications-with-cgroup-v2/27700/3 | 16:40 |
| oerheks | Snap run attempts to create a separate scope (a cgroup actually) for the application by talking to org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager over session bus. In your case, the session bus is unavailable, so a separate cgroup cannot be created .. | 16:40 |
| kuka_lie | how to change tty font size? i have huge font in tty | 16:41 |
| oerheks | fix https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/cannot-launch-snap-applications-with-cgroup-v2/27700/6 | 16:41 |
| tomreyn | kuka_lie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 16:41 |
| pisignage | Ok nice | 16:43 |
| pisignage | Thanks ill take a look at the links. | 16:43 |
| tomreyn | "I am using xorg" is good additional info, but did not answer my question. | 16:44 |

| JuanDaugherty | other wm run under gdm still get waylanded | 19:10 |
| JuanDaugherty | and custom.conf id ineffective | 19:11 |
| JuanDaugherty | i'll work it out, it's no biggy | 19:12 |
| JuanDaugherty | typical capitalistici shits | 19:12 |
| JuanDaugherty | also to be fair, i can disable it but not in clean way that would be the case if the distro had done it | 19:16 |
| JuanDaugherty | i.e. done it right, not in a passive aggressive mode of why do u wanna do that? | 19:18 |
