[00:00] <Guest66> ok on the second hd
[00:00] <Guest66> if it didn't block too like the first :-)
[00:00] <Guest66> hahahahah
[00:00] <JanC> Guest66: you mean the one that holds the backups?
[00:04] <Guest66> yes but it is an outdated backup. That is, I keep the same things on the first and second, but on the first that I use regularly they are updated because otherwise with every change I make I would have to copy and paste everything again on the second, but it is impossible for me because when I use the first I change a lot of things between what I
[00:04] <Guest66> modify, what I delete and everything else, then at the end of the work I do not remember one by one all the changes I have made. So then every now and then after some time when the differences between one and the other are many, I delete everything on the second HD and put the content of the first there. I know it is not an effective method, but I
[00:04] <Guest66> have to learn to use some program that continuously synchronizes the content of the two HDs and in any case then I have to always keep them connected or at least, connect the second only to do the synchronization each time.
[00:05] <JanC> ugh
[00:06] <bprompt> Guest66: Rsync is specifically designed for that, to synchronize two storage devices, and ONLY transfer the files that are new or changed
[00:06] <JanC> in the future you should use rsync; it is a program that figures out what files changed etc.
[00:06] <Guest66> JanC can u help me to create the image?
[00:06] <oerheks> bprompt, but rsync is comandline
[00:07] <oerheks> !info grsync
[00:07] <bprompt> Guest66: you have to do "nothing", just have both devices connected, run rsync, and cross your legs while drinking fruit punch
[00:07] <ubottu> grsync (1.3.0-1build2, noble): GTK+ frontend for rsync. In component universe, is optional. Built by grsync. Size 152 kB / 654 kB
[00:07] <bprompt> Guest66: right, there's a GUI for rscyn. as oerheks said
[00:07] <oerheks> for the mouse heroes
[00:08] <JanC> Grsync also allows you to save "profiles", so that you run the same command every time...
[00:08] <bprompt> Guest66: pardon my meddling, you don't need an image, I don't think, you're digging a deeper hole for yourself
[00:08] <Guest66> oerheks sorry we are not all expert users
[00:09] <JanC> the image is just a safety measure in case things go wrong with ntfsfix
[00:09] <bprompt> Guest66: if the HDD were fine, I'd help you with imaging it, but the HDD isn't fine
[00:09] <JanC> you don't know that?
[00:12] <Guest66> bprompt why? creating an image can damage the hd from which the image is created?
[00:12] <Guest66> JanC using disks?
[00:12] <JanC> yes, make it with Disks
[00:13] <bprompt> Guest66: nope, first off, you dunno what it does, you need to know how to make it, you need storage, around 1TB in your case, which you don't have, and when done, the image itself has an error, because the HDD has the error
[00:15] <Guest66> I'm keeping the space because the second HD is 3TB
[00:15] <JanC> bprompt: copying the error is the whole point
[00:15] <bprompt> Guest66: tis akin of you now knowing how to drive a bicycle and now trying to drive a Semi truck
[00:32] <Guest66> can be useful this method?

[00:35] <Guest66> oerheks i already am doing image, i just told about this to avoid problems with ntfsfix
[00:37] <bprompt> problems with ntfsfix, which likely is going to work like a charm, but since you never ran it, hard to tell that
[00:39] <bprompt> there are a few other choices, including running windows in your machine, but hell, if you're not willing to move to 1st base, there's no way you're going to 2nd or 3rd

[02:39] <pickanick> What is the installer choice of "Region" (~Continental area) and "Zone" (~City)  affect besides timezone and default selections for system language , numbers, and data locale?  Does it affect, for example, Wifi limits for regulatory concerns, or can that be set elsewhere?
[02:43] <oerheks> Wifi limits ? never heard of  that one
[02:43] <oerheks> fud
[02:47] <pickanick> what's this about then?  https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man5/regulatory.db.5.html
[02:52] <pickanick> regulatory.bin, regulatory.db - The Linux wireless regulatory database ... the files used by the Linux wireless subsystem to keep its regulatory database information. regulatory.bin is read by crda upon the Linux kernel's request for regulatory information for a specific ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 country code... The regulatory database is maintained by the community as such you are encouraged to send any corrections or updates to the linux-wireless and wireless-regdb
[02:52] <pickanick> mailing lists: linux- wireless@vger.kernel.org and wireless-regdb@lists.infradead.org
[02:53] <oerheks> this is more about wlan than wifi, iirc
[02:53] <JanC> no, it's WiFi
[02:54] <oerheks> what channels to use, and what needs to be administered?
[02:54] <JanC> it's because frequency ranges you are allowed to use differ per country
[02:55] <JanC> it's probably more important for access points than for clients though
[02:55] <pickanick> Is there a way to see the content in a user-friendly manner?
[02:55] <pickanick> And what Ubuntu setting affects which it uses?
=== brosnaheart is now known as gaelheart
[02:55] <oerheks> us and europe channel differences?
[02:56] <JanC> I'm not even sure it's actually used or how/when it's used?
[02:57] <oerheks> but not wifi limits for any concerns
[02:58] <JanC> I suppose NetworkManager might set those, but not sure what it's based on then...
[03:02] <pickanick> in boot process in dmsg I find kernel: cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'wens: 61c038651aabdcf94bd0ac7ff06c7248db18c600'  which I believe has something to do with https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wens/wireless-regdb.git
[03:03] <pickanick> ah some documentation, which answers my question:  https://docs.kernel.org/networking/regulatory.html
[03:03] <pickanick> I believe the wifi limits are explicit in the db and depend on the freq band.
[03:04] <JanC> as you can see there, you can set it to whatever you want & cheat  :)
[03:05] <pickanick> Or ... set you timezone to whatever you want, and still comply ;)
[03:05] <JanC> although, in theory in some countries you could go to jail for using frequency bands illegally, I guess
[03:06] <JanC> I think in practice there are so many tourists & other travellers all over that nothing actually still uses frequencies that are reserved for WiFi in other countries
[03:08] <Guest62> w
[03:08] <Guest62> wimndows
[03:08] <Guest62> beter
[03:09] <pickanick> Well today there's more of an effort to make international standards and international devices, so maybe less critical for the newer tech? I don't know.
[03:11] <JanC> I'd say it's also more important for APs, as no client device will use frequencies that are not offered by the AP
[03:13] <pickanick> Anyway, is there anything else the choice of "Region" and "Zone" affects?
[03:14] <JanC> well, time zone will affect how dates are computed in most applications
[03:14] <JanC> the ones that are programmed correctly  :)
[03:14] <JanC> but that is obvious, of course
[03:15] <JanC> and stuff like DST changes etc.
[03:15] <pickanick> yes. Anything in Ubuntu OS besides timezone and default selections for system language , numbers, and data locale?
[03:16] <JanC> the default Ubuntu mirror would depend on it too, I suppose
[03:16] <zr2^> for you guys running ubuntu, what IRC clients are good to use?
[03:16] <JanC> some countries have local mirrors, others use the central mirrors by default
[03:17] <JanC> zr2^: the Libera.Chat site has information on some of the clients that are used most commonly, I think
[03:18] <pickanick> zr2^: the only client I've used much is konversation. I recommend following JanC's comment ^^
[03:20] <pickanick> I don't have the time to optimize my IRC client, Konversation is user-friendly and adequate to my needs, however it's a KDE application.
[03:22] <zr2^> still working on the MacBook air conversion. are there  any known repository installs that I will need?
[03:30] <maryo> Does Ubuntu 24.04 don't have iotedge package? --> https://dpaste.com/3YXVTJQKN
[03:47] <pickanick> Dell laptop keyboards have special keys for controlling keyboard backlight, audio volume, screen brightness, layout, etc.  If install chooses "Generic 105-key" is that the best option? Do I need to install anything in addition?
[03:48] <zr2^> i never did figure that out on my alienware
[04:01] <oerheks> maryo,  all i find is https://ubuntu.com/blog/getting-started-with-azure-iot-edge-on-ubuntu-core
[04:10] <oerheks> Generally you can set the keyboard brightness in the Power Settings, else install  brightnessctl https://askubuntu.com/questions/1336414/how-do-i-enable-keyboard-backlight-in-ubuntu-20-04-02-on-dell-g5-laptop

[08:21] <danel1> Hi there, we upgraded some of our ubuntu servers (22.04) from linux kernel 5.15.0-126 to 5.15.0-127. After the update we see critical issues with our firewalls and get the following exception: ip6tables-restore v1.8.7 (legacy): unknown option "--nflog-prefix" - reverting to 126 fixes the issue. This leads to no firewall rules beeing applied after a reboot, which is also quite critical in case of security. It seems there is quite a
[08:21] <danel1>  similar issue reported as bug already: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2091990 - Any input if this might be the same issue?

[08:26] <oerheks> hi danel1 i read that bug has been confirmed, important step one, so the wait is for the fix to be published
[08:26] <oerheks> not much we can do, you could test the HWE kernel we spoke about..
[08:27] <danel1> Yeah i saw that - which is very good. For me it's not quite clear yet, if we are faced by the same issue as im not the "programmer"
[08:27] <danel1> For the moment it's okey to run with -126 and yeah, maybe we test the HWE-Kernel. But it would be interesting, if its exactly the same issue
[08:28] <oerheks> Michal Nasiadka is on it.
[08:28] <oerheks> but not sure who what where and when
[08:43] <danel1> But yeah oerheks after inspecting the source / changes (git) it seems like the named commit has only been picked for kernel 5.15 and ubuntu jammy - not focal, not noble.....

[09:48] <MyWay> hi, i'm running ubuntu 24.04 with a nvidia 4070 ti super, with the old desktop i used to see nvidia driver under "additional drivers", while now i get "no additional driver available", just curious why as i installed nvidia-driver-565-server
[09:49] <MyWay> output of nvidia-smi seems correct: | NVIDIA-SMI 565.57.01              Driver Version: 565.57.01      CUDA Version: 12.7     |
[09:59] <ogra_> MyWay, well, perhaps thatz driver is not shown because it has not many graphical bits in it ? ( -server is usually for running AI owrkloads on a server or crypto mining etc)
[10:01] <MyWay> i don't know ogra_, i was used to open it and have a list of nvidia drivers available
[10:01] <ogra_> ah, you dont see anything at all ?
[10:02] <MyWay> exactly
[10:02] <ogra_> yeah, that sounds rather like a bug
[10:02] <MyWay> sudo ubuntu-drivers list returns nothing,
[10:02] <MyWay> sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:565
[10:02] <MyWay> All the available drivers are already installed.
[10:03] <ogra_> have you tried removing -server ? does it change behavior ?
[10:03] <MyWay> same
[10:04] <MyWay> basically i have nothing in this window: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/additional-gpu-drivers.png
[10:05] <ogra_> yeah, sounds like a bug
[10:06] <MyWay> adding ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa seems to work though, maybe no stable driver yet for my card?
[10:07] <ogra_> you mean adding the ppa makes it show things ?
[10:07] <ogra_> even if there is no nvidia driver for your card yet, it should show an opensource one
[10:07] <ogra_> ... and not nothing

[15:09] <andreaa71> what does dd make ?
[15:10] <andreaa71> bit to bit copy ...
[15:10] <frostschutz> andreaa71, dd copies bytes, it doesn't care, about the format / content / file extension. you can name it .iso, .bin, .img, whatever you like
[15:11] <andreaa71> ok, thanks ...
[15:12] <andreaa71> i could make a .img file with dd of a cd ... and after how to burn ? brasero ?
[15:13] <frostschutz> brasero might even do the image part for you as well
[15:13] <frostschutz> not sure, haven't used it recently
[15:15] <andreaa71> It would be nice to have a command that burns image files made with dd ... imho ...
[15:16] <ravage> https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Create_an_ISO_Image_from_a_source_CD_or_DVD_under_Linux
[15:16] <ravage> You can create your ISO with dd
[15:17] <ravage> And I'm sure there are multiple Google results on burning the ISO on the terminal too
[15:17] <ravage> This was the first Google results on it
[15:17] <andreaa71> ok
[15:18] <andreaa71> very nice : bs + count make an .iso ...
[15:18] <andreaa71> :)
[15:19] <andreaa71> and i could burn with brasero ... k3b ...
[15:20] <ravage> Both of those tools can also create the ISO for you
[15:21] <andreaa71> yes, thanks ... but the joy to open a konsole and type dd ... xD
[15:24] <andreaa71> ok, i will use brasero to make .iso ...

[16:49] <derekshnosh> Morning... this AM I cannot log into my laptop running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS/Wayland. After I enter my password, it just returns to the login screen. If I try to log in to X, I get a white screen with "Oh no something has gone wrong." Found a couple random threads suggesting to run `sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st` for sharing, so I did
[16:49] <derekshnosh> that and tried pasting the text to bpa.st as recommended here but says it exceeds the limit. Here is the 0x0 link: http://0x0.st/XCaY.txt
[16:50] <derekshnosh> I've attempted reinstalling gdm3 (`sudo apt install --reinstall gdm3` and then `sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3`) with a reboot, but same result.
[16:59] <derekshnosh> Is this section indicative of anything? https://bpa.st/4UQA

[17:00] <derekshnosh> Sorry, found more: https://bpa.st/TOCA
[17:01] <bombastuff> I'm rsyncing a file from a VPS with 2 vCPUs, according to lscpu "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz", and htop is showing 25% CPU usage. Is rsync really that resource hungry?
[17:02] <oerheks> derekshnosh, nvidia and wayland session?
[17:02] <oerheks> logout, change to x11 and try again
[17:02] <jelly> bombastuff, are you using -z ?
[17:02] <derekshnosh> X11 shows me the white screen with "Oh no something has gone wrong."
[17:02] <bombastuff> jelly:  rsync -av --partial --progress
[17:02] <oerheks> The nvidia drivers work only on x11
[17:03] <derekshnosh> oerheks this is one of those AMD/NVIDIA optimus things. Has been running fine on Wayland since installation, over a year ago.
[17:04] <bombastuff> jelly: could it be that VPSes arent' really giving you access to the full Xeon? Like I'm getting 500MHz worth of a single core instead of the whole 2.60GHz?
[17:04] <bombastuff> I'm not experienced with cloud servers
[17:04] <jelly> bombastuff, it's probably just waiting on disk io most the time, which can translate to "wait" or a bit of "system" cpu usage
[17:04] <leftyfb> derekshnosh: Ubuntu 24.04 was released 8 months ago
[17:04] <oerheks> Run lshw -c video, and look for the line with "configuration" dor what driver is in use
[17:05] <derekshnosh> Ok, then 8 months. I've had several TBIs and don't store exact timestamps for OS installation in the noggin.
[17:05] <oerheks> c/dor/for, i bet nvidia, not amdgpu
[17:05] <leftyfb> derekshnosh: got SecureBoot enabled?
[17:05] <derekshnosh> leftyfb yes, the whole time.
[17:06] <bombastuff> jelly: thanks, I'll look into how to see that. htop doesnt seem to show it. but I know of other tools and I will install them and try.
[17:06] <leftyfb> derekshnosh: disable SB, reinstall your GPU drivers.
[17:06] <jelly> bombastuff, run "vmstat 1" in a separate terminal, see if there's consistent non-zero in "wa" or "si" columns on the right side
[17:06] <bombastuff> jelly: wait, if it was waiting on disk, I wouldnt be seeing such high CPU usage. I'd be seeing lower CPU usage (in fact I seem to have just been throttled down to 500KB/s, and now CPU is 2.5%)
[17:07] <jelly> bombastuff, you would see an amount of wait% cpu usage.
[17:07] <ioria> hermano, var=$(nginx -v 2>&1|sed  's/.*\///'| sed 's/(Ubuntu)//')
[17:10] <derekshnosh> leftyfb: I can sure attempt that, but is it typical for a working configuration to break without the end user changing something or otherwise breaking it? I'm not skirting responsibility with that statement, I'm looking into an app that I installed yesterday via .sh script to see if it may be the culprit. My question/sentiment is more  regarding
[17:10] <derekshnosh> the SecureBoot & graphics driver situation.
[17:11] <oerheks> building nvidia drivers after an update and secureboot, surely can be the culprit
[17:11] <bombastuff> jelly: I've been throttled to 400KB/s unfortunately (not sure wat which level), CPU down to 2.5% in htop. vmstat showing for past 30 secs that 0 wa. I'll run some more tests when the internet improves.
[17:11] <oerheks> and wayland
[17:11] <hermano> ioria, thanks.
[17:12] <jelly> derekshnosh, it might be worth to test whether the breakage is global or limited to per-user config somewhere; you could create a fresh new user and try to log in as that one
[17:12] <derekshnosh> oerheks: that's fair, but that operation wasn't done within the timeframe the issue began.
=== JanC is now known as Guest8798
[17:13] <derekshnosh> I didn't rebuild drivers or do anything interesting at a kernel level overnight... I never even built them manually, I chose 3rd party support during Ubuntu installation and it added the drivers.
[17:13] <derekshnosh> jelly: Hmm, good idea.
[17:19] <derekshnosh> jelly: desktop loads fine with a new user.
[17:21] <derekshnosh> Any ideas where to look if the issue seems to be tied to a specific user/account?
=== sf1231 is now known as sf123
[17:23] <jelly> that's a really good question and answering "~/.config" doesn't begin to help :-\
[17:23] <derekshnosh> Haha, fair... I've seen some threads/posts suggesting deletion of ~/.Xauthority, but that file does not exist for that user.
[17:24] <jelly> that's only relevant for a very specific issue when someone ran something as root but with user's $HOME
[17:24] <derekshnosh> Ahh ok.
[17:25] <jelly> anyhow, you could temporarily rename ~/.config and/or ~/.local and see if it helps, but lots of your config will temporarily disappear
[17:27] <jelly> eg. you'll lose all web browser state
[17:27] <derekshnosh> Gotcha.
[17:34] <leftyfb> derekshnosh: you said you ran some random .sh script. Maybe that broke your user profile
[17:36] <oerheks> sh script..
[17:36] <oerheks> as root?
[17:36] <derekshnosh> No.
[17:36] <derekshnosh> It was a script I wrote also... not something random from the internet. So I knew what it was doing.
[17:37] <oerheks> care to share that script?
[17:37] <derekshnosh> Only thing it requires root for is linking something in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/; app requirement.
[17:37] <derekshnosh> Sure, sec.
[17:40] <derekshnosh> https://bpa.st/GIDA
[17:41] <derekshnosh> The filecloudsync2start.sh script (provided by developer) simply has this... https://bpa.st/VX3Q (cloudsync is their C (?) executable).
[17:43] <derekshnosh> If you're super interested, here's their download for the sync client: https://www.filecloud.com/additional-downloads/#sync
[17:43] <derekshnosh> ... and why I wrote the script 5 years ago in the first place (that they seem to have now bundled into their .zip installation package). https://shnosh.io/linux-filecloudsync-install/
[17:48] <derekshnosh> I did get a kick out of them leaving the creation and deletion of a tmp folder in the script, with nothing in between (in their modified version).
[17:54] <oerheks> i guess the culprit is not that script
[17:55] <derekshnosh> I ran `journalctl -u gdm` and see this: https://bpa.st/WEXQ
[17:56] <derekshnosh> Sorry... wrong one.
[17:56] <derekshnosh> https://bpa.st/VFRA
[17:57] <derekshnosh> 'ds' is the user/account I can't get a desktop on, just back to login screen... 'derek' is the new account I can get to the desktop with.
