=== itu is now known as Guest2866 [03:10] im trying to find the right GUI linux to run vms in. tried ubuntu desktop but it feels kinda bloated [03:10] when i read bloated, i start laughing [03:11] just so many gui features. i just like i3 === Guest2866 is now known as itu [03:24] but then again popOS has this thing gjs that i keep catching using like 6GB of ram till i kill it [03:24] really hate gnome i think it's from that [03:24] please go back entertaining #linux [03:24] ok === JanC is now known as Guest2719 [04:17] is this irc active? [04:18] yes it is user1_ [04:18] how can we help you today [04:19] wow this is great. Do a lot of people use this? [04:22] thousands. [04:27] great. platforms like this a significantly better than garbage whatsapp and discord.

Thanks! [04:30] ok thanks [05:20] i settled on debian but ty everyone for helping me work my way there. my thought is that if so many distros derive from debian, then it gets pounded on a bunch, and then becomes the most stable even if it's out of date unlike fresh ubuntu [05:49] hi, i just installed ubuntu 24.10 question, my laptop has an integrated graphics and a gpu, 4070. nvidia-smi shows everything is installed but how do i know if ubuntu is defaulting to the integrated graphics versus the 4070 to save battery? [05:51] tomengland: with nvidia-settings [05:51] tomengland: there you can switch between powersaving vs performance mode [05:51] ahh [05:52] is that something i install with sudo apt install? [05:52] tomengland: when your graphics drivers are installed correctly, it should be also installed [05:52] !info nvidia-settings [05:52] nvidia-settings (510.47.03-0ubuntu4, noble): Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver. In component main, is optional. Built by nvidia-settings. Size 877 kB / 2,867 kB. (Only available for i386, amd64, armhf, arm64, ppc64el, riscv64.) [05:52] hmm optional [05:53] ahh nvm it's there, ok perfect, thank you, it looks like it's on demand [05:53] check with apt policy nvidia-settings on your system tomengland [05:53] great [05:54] nvidia-smi also shows all applications that use the card [05:55] The system should handle most things correctly. But there should a "run on dedicated card" in the right click menu [05:55] I don't have any device like that right now :) [05:58] gotcha yep, i see that now, ty! [06:31] i want to have no grub menu when i turn on my pc. it gives 10 seconds i have to wait or hit enter. heres my grub file. any help apreciated. https://imgur.com/a/hNS1hXd [06:47] gaelheart: My poor eyes will not allow to read your pic / how about pasteing ? ' nc termbin.com 9999 < /etc/default/grub ' See to: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/Simple-configuration.html . [06:47] right click open in new tab [06:52] change GRUB_TIMEOUT to -1 in /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" [06:52] ok i looked at the link. i already have it set to zero for timeout. it still shows. so i set it to 1 and it displayed the menu for 1 second. when i change it to zero it displays for 10 seconds. it doesn't make any sense [06:52] ok ravage thank you [06:57] ravage: setting it to -1 made it show indefinately [06:57] strange. and 0 does nothing? [06:57] zero makes it 10 seconds [06:58] bizarre if you ask me [06:58] try 1 and also set GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE to hidden [06:59] did that. it will show for 1 second [07:00] GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden is in the default file [07:00] i'm going to change it to zero and comment out that line [07:00] see if that does it [07:03] 10 seconds [07:03] ugh === iwannaberoot164 is now known as iwannaberoot16 [10:14] hi [10:18] welcome Guest5290 [10:18] what can we do for you today [10:20] timeout style hidden will only hide it not remove the time. [10:21] time -1 is wait [10:24] You should leave it menu style with time 0 I believe. [10:24] dont forget to update-grub [10:39] hi [10:40] i cant install anything w flatpak [10:40] i installed linux yesterday [10:40] can some1 help me [10:41] asilatlar: which linux did you install yesterday? [10:41] ubuntu [10:41] which version of it? [10:41] the latest [10:41] so 24.10, i see. [10:41] yeah [10:42] what happens when you try to install something with flatpak, and how do you do it? [10:42] no command such as flatpak [10:42] (or are you asking how to do it at all?) [10:42] even tho i installed it [10:43] how did you install flatpak, how are you trying to use it? from within a temrinal emulator? [10:43] sudo apt install flatpak [10:43] by terminal [10:44] so apt --list-installed flatpak should report that flatpak is now installed, right? [10:44] apt list --installed flatpak [10:44] ^ this rather [10:44] lemme try [10:45] yes it does [10:45] please post the one line of output starting with "flatpak" [10:45] i did [10:45] please copy and paste this one line into the chat here [10:46] wait im getting ddosed [10:46] ill join [10:48] 0o [10:49] lol [11:22] help [12:39] Hi all [12:41] yo [13:00] Hello, when I plug in my earphones, there is no sound in it. I am on Ubuntu 24.10, and my laptop runs Coreboot. What can I do to investigate? [13:01] as the first step, check the pulseaudio/pipewire settings, that your eaphones are set as the output [13:03] When I go to settings, audio, there is only one entry in the drop down menu [13:03] That says: internal audio - speakers [13:06] thank your earphones are not connected probably [13:06] then* [13:06] I tried with two different headphones [13:06] and when I play some sound, there is nothing in the laptop speaker either [13:07] When I click on "test", then select a speaker, I see the orange bar moving as if it were outputing sound, but I hear nothing, neither fromthe headphone nor from the laptop speaker [13:43] Hi, I have just ran Ubuntu from a memory stick. I am not sure if the partition used for the windows installation that came with the computer is there, but i messed up my boot sector or something so nothing can boot from my computer at the moment. Can someone please assist me? [13:45] sig, do you have a bootable windows medium ? [13:45] No i am afraid not [13:46] sig, have you tried to boot something directly from bios ? [13:46] yes. [13:47] and ? [13:47] Black screen... [13:48] Windows legacy detected: please enable bios compatibility/ CSM/ legacy mode in your UEFI firmware. [13:49] Is the message this boot repair program is giving me [13:49] sig, how are you running boot repair ? [13:50] sig, or is just the bios giving you that ? [13:51] Its a boot repair program.. after some few minutes.. [13:52] this seems to be a "boot-repair" message indeed (based on a web search) [13:52] yes, that is the program i use [13:52] sig, you cannot run boot repair if you don't have at least an install [13:53] how can I login to nickserv [13:54] /msg nickserv identify [13:55] https://libera.chat/guides/ === JanC is now known as Guest5586 [13:59] tomreyn, do you think enebable this is bios will fix the problem? Atleast get me 1 step further? What is CSM and how to enable legacy in firmware? Do you know? [14:06] sig: i cannot tell whether boot-repairs' report is to be trusted, but the message you posted suggests that your windows installation was made in legacy bios mode (and must be booted this way, with the boot sector written to a disks' MBR). most computers and operating systems nowadays would prefer to boot in UEFI mode, however, which works differently. most "BIOS'es" which support UEFI booting (which is pretty much any Intel x86-compatible [14:06] mainboard produced in the past 10-15 years) also provide a backwards-compatibility mode, dubbed "CSM" or "Compatibility Support Module" (or 'Mode'), which enables booting in (legacy) BIOS mode off a disks' Master Boot Record (MBR), i.e. the old way, in addition to (also) supporting booting in UEFI mode. [14:06] ok. how do i enable it in uefi firmware? [14:07] it is unclear what you have changed to cause the situation you're in now, and thus also unclear which steps you will need to take to recover from it. it is also unclear how you ran boot-repair, when you only have a single working boot media, which only (?) boots into the ubuntu live/installer system of some ubuntu version. [14:09] in uefi firmware which supports the compatibility mode, you would enable the compatibility mode by selecting the (possibly vendor specific named) CSM/Compatibility Support Module/Mode option. [14:10] another commonly seen name for this option is "Legacy BIOS Support" [14:11] it would be nice if you provided more information, including which ubuntu version you are meaning to install / fix, since we only support ubuntu (not windows, not other Linux distros) here, and would prefer not to spend time on diagnosing and fixing other issues. [14:16] Its an hardware issue. GPT/MBR messup, bootsector idk.. Oh well [14:17] Anyone know a good webbrowser other than TOR maybe just as good to use with linux? [14:17] Firefox [14:18] firefox is bugging for some reason [14:20] google tor alternatives [14:20] i dont have a browser to google with :/ [14:21] https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/ [14:21] chromium is also available on ubuntu [14:21] If he even runs Ubuntu [14:21] I am [14:22] i was wondering how to configure TOR properly, i need to read docs it will not connect to TOR bridges and nothings working.. [14:22] have you tried tails? [14:24] i would try tails. then you don't have to configure anything https://tails.net/ [14:24] i don't think htink sig is currently primarily looking for a web browser which provides some level of pseudonymity, but any web browser. [14:24] correct [14:24] oh [14:24] i try chronium [14:24] firefox is a good choice actually [14:28] ungoogled-chromium i've tried. it was buggy [14:29] well buggy isn't the word for it. it was crappy let's say that [14:30] i tried opera and it was blazing fast. and i mean blazing fast. i don't know why [14:33] i really like falkon as well as far as fast goes. holy cow [14:34] !discuss [14:34] Want 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! [14:35] got it. actually i have a support question myself. i want to hide the grub menu but when i set timeout to zero it does 10. if i try any other number it timeouts to that. it' s just zero that doesn't work. anybody? [14:38] timeout does not hide it, it sets the timeout until grub goes with the default option [14:38] i have timeout style to hidden. that doesn't work [14:38] you probably want to hide the grub menu and set the timeout to a low value, so that you still have the ability to bring up the menu if needed [14:39] i have it at 1. it is perfectly fine with that. basically a flash of the menu. i was just wondering why it doesn't completly hide it. it works on fedora but i can't get it to work on ubuntu [14:40] a low value that is greater than zero, i should have said [14:40] tomreyn: i got you [14:42] maybe that's by design [14:43] I'm afraid I would not know why GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden does not seem to work for you. [14:44] yeah it's wierd [14:44] Is another OS present? [14:44] yeah Jeremy31 w11 [14:45] os-prober must be finding the Windows loader in the EFI system partition and that would disable grub being hidden [14:46] oh ok so just disable the prober i guess [14:46] if you're using os-prober, quick_boot="0" in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober would overcome this [14:46] ah sweet [14:47] Or edit /etc/default/grub and add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true [14:47] there it is [14:47] set timeout_style=menu [14:47] if [ "\${timeout}" = 0 ]; then [14:47] set timeout=10 [14:48] i'll try to comment out GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER first [14:48] let's see here... [14:50] what you just quoted seems to be part of the "adjust_timeout" function. if you prevent calling that, the timout won't be overridden. [14:50] ok [14:50] gonna reboot after GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER set to true [14:51] brb [14:52] well that did it. beautiful. thanks gals :) [14:54] goddamn ubuntu boots fast. wow [14:56] yeah so i only use windows a little bit. i was thinking i can just use my bios boot menu for that. otherwise i don't want to see it [14:56] the grub menu that is === root is now known as Guest6567 [15:09] hey guys i dont know what i did to my ubuntu but its not allowing ssh from my macos but i can ssh from some other machine on the same LAN [15:10] i was running jupyterlab on ubuntu and accessing from macos yesterday and it was working fine but its blocking all access from my macos today [15:11] bobafett: sudo iptables -S # do you see the local ip address of your mac in the results? [15:13] leftyfb: no [15:13] what is the local ip address of the ubuntu machine? [15:13] 192.168.0.105 [15:14] and the mac machine? [15:14] .110 [15:14] can you ping the mac from ubuntu? [15:14] no [15:14] says unreachable [15:14] but it was network connectivity [15:14] has* [15:14] how are both of them connected to the network? wired or wireless? [15:15] wireless [15:15] run iwconfig # on both of them to see which SSID they are connected to [15:15] its the same [15:16] i was messing around with firewall settings on ubuntu to fix this but nothing worked so i disabled it [15:16] check and/or disable the firewall on the Mac [15:17] You could also just reboot both machines [15:18] turned off macos firewall too [15:18] still nothing [15:19] Sounds like a problem on the Mac side [15:19] i also enabled ssh via systemctl, could that be an issue [15:19] Nope [15:19] earlier i had manually started it [15:20] actually ssh is working from other machine to ubuntu so not sure whats going on here [15:20] right, so it sounds like a problem on the Mac side [15:20] Not Ubuntu [15:21] Did you try rebooting the Mac? [15:21] ok [15:22] wont help me troubleshoot the issue. if it fixes itself its a bigger issue because i would have cleared the error state so it can happen again any time in future [15:22] will try #macosx [15:23] bobafett: FYI, it’s not an ssh problem. [15:24] If you can ping the Mac or vice versa, there’s something else going on on with the Mac [15:25] bobafett: when you ran the iptables command on Ubuntu, what was the output? If it’s more than the 3 empty chains, can you paste in it please ? [15:26] yeah it was much longer [15:26] ok one moment [15:28] Ok, then you didn’t disable the firewall on Ubuntu [15:28] https://bpa.st/3M5A [15:28] Oh, it’s just logging [15:29] But also, try: sudo iptables -F [15:29] Then try pinging in both directions [15:30] nope, no sucess [15:39] If you can ping in both directions from the 3rd machine and Ubuntu like you mentioned earlier, then this is definitely an issue on the Mac side [15:56] the fact that it worked yesterday makes me think the IP address changed and then ubuntu started blocking it [15:57] it's unlikely ubuntu is blocking it as there's no iptables rules in place to do so [15:57] you can check the IP of connections via journalctl -u sshd [15:57] ah yeah, I didn't check that [15:58] ssh in unrelated at this point [15:58] ssh is a symptom, not the cause [15:58] it's likely a problem on the mac side [15:59] bobafett: can the mac ping 192.168.0.1 ? [16:03] leftyfb: yeah === y0sh- is now known as y0sh_ [16:27] wazzzaaa [17:40] How to stop ubuntu asking for permission for such tasks as mounting a usb flashdrive? [17:41] why is there a separate login credential in ubuntu for using desktop sharing? [17:42] bobafett, why not? [17:43] using your account cred. is not safe, standard [17:45] GrandPa-G, udisksctl > https://askubuntu.com/questions/1208236/mounting-usb-mass-storage-devices-without-root-access [17:48] oerheks, can't I make it so it just doesn't ask when the flashdrive is inserted? [17:48] by default it shouldn't ask, I think? [17:49] oerheks: okay. but why does it keep changing? [17:50] never knew it changes? [17:52] It seems to me that before last release it never asked me. Now it asks on this and many other tasks it never did before. [17:53] what release are you on? [17:54] in 24.04 it has never asked me... [17:54] and what filesystem on that usb thingy? [17:54] if it also happens with other tasks, it's probably not related to the USB srives? [17:54] *drives [17:56] GrandPa-G: does it just ask for permission, or does it ask for a password? [17:58] maybe pastebin the output after a journalctl -f and plug your usb GrandPa-G ? [18:00] here is the image https://pasteboard.co/5xjEv9hqZoBf.png [18:01] wonder if thats tied to sandisk [18:02] not at all. I get similar messages for other task. When I log in via rdp I get messages for scan wifi, for something about color [18:02] it's only when you use RDP? [18:02] This is not standard ubuntu behavior, with the 1st account created? [18:02] and wich ubuntu/flavour is that GrandPa-G [18:04] Ubuntu release & how the user was created might be useful info [18:04] also if this only happens when logging in with RDP it is likely related to that, of course [18:05] 24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat) under xubuntu [18:05] I'm trying to zip a directory in on one drive and save it on another using [18:05] > zip -r /mnt/forstahalvan/backup/Document_241208.zip ~/Documents [18:05] gives me : [18:05] *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated [18:06] zip error: Interrupted (aborting) [18:06] I assume the dialog is a PolicyKit dialog [18:06] i also think so JanC [18:07] This userid has sudo if that makes any difference [18:07] but mounting should not ask for a pass on own account right [18:09] when you go to a terminal and run 'groups', what does it say? [18:09] adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev users lpadmin [18:11] hm, you are a member of "plugdev", so that can't be it... [18:13] I'm not sure how busy that channel is, but maybe also ask in #xubuntu as maybe it's a Xubuntu/Xfce thing [18:13] i havent seen that behaviour on xubuntu noble JanC [18:13] ok, it had a natural explaination https://askubuntu.com/questions/1515086/zip-in-ubuntu-24-04-getting-buffer-overflow-if-right-single-quote-mark-present [18:24] thanks === bobafett_ is now known as bobafett === jimmyb7 is now known as jimmyb === eLdr1ch is now known as TheGhost [21:04] <^Gecko^> is there a GUI tool for connecting to an iscsi target? [21:09] there is no GUI for iscsi, AFAIK [21:13] you need a gui to run 1 command? [21:32] <^Gecko^> the iscsi guides look like a lot more than one simple command, not to mention confs [21:33] how many times do you set it up?
