But it seems it can't be updated past openssl 3.0.2? [00:48] Slartibart: yeah; we'll backport security fixes as necessary until 2034 for 22.04 [01:02] 12 years now? i thought even with ESM it was still only 10. [01:03] sarnold: Got it. Thanks. [01:05] enigma9o7: "legacy" [01:06] granted, only trusty has had that happen so far, but it seems likely that xenial will get the same treatment when its time comes :) [01:50] on a fresh VM install of Ubuntu-x86_64-24.04, i'm getting an 'cannot execute binary file' when trying to run the NVIDIA-AI-Workbench installer. It's an AppImage file extension. [01:51] you should talk to whoever created the appimage then [01:52] fair enough === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto === lol is now known as Guest2589 === unpas is now known as Guest9660 [05:34] hello [07:53] I have this weird distro that doesnt have a vmlinuz file, it instead has a /boot/linux file, i would like to know if the file has been just renamed, opening the file with 7-Zip shows files such as .bss, .reloc, .setup, .text and CERTIFICATE, can someone tell me if i can just drop in a newer kernel vmlinuz file in there and it will just work? [08:00] Oh, and i'm asking here because the distro is based on Ubuntu 20.04 [08:01] We only support Ubuntu and its official flavors here [08:01] Please contact your distributions support [08:01] It doesnt have support [08:01] The only thing it does is add some extra packages [08:01] The distro [08:01] Good luck then :) [08:13] hi [08:14] can anyone hear me [08:15] rip [08:15] mrgoobergoob, yes, do you have an ubuntu support question to talk about? [08:15] no [08:16] mrgoobergoob, OK, g'nite then. === mrpond3 is now known as mrpond [09:28] so in which folder do i have to keep the gnome theme files to let it detect in my gnome tweaks app [09:33] because i see no changes in my tweaks app even when i am doing it [09:52] What is the boot.catalog file in the Ubuntu 24.04 ISO? [12:29] Is it possible to wake up a laptop with a remote desktop connection? I can't connect to it. [12:35] AngryTom, with WOL you could [12:36] https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2024/08/enable-wake-on-lan-ubuntu/ [12:36] https://pimylifeup.com/ubuntu-enable-wake-on-lan/ [12:41] thank you very much, indeed, I will take a look on it. [12:42] have fun! [12:45] Hi all [13:03] What is the Debian Testing irc channel? Can't find it with google. [13:04] ask in #debian? [13:04] ups wrong channel === rvalue- is now known as rvalue === _justin_kelly79 is now known as _justin_kelly7 === lol is now known as Guest9701 [14:54] I have system with zswap + swapfile on ext4 partition. When swap i/o rise sometime I got noncritical warnings in dmesg about RIP "__alloc_pages_slowpath" or "ext4_dirty_folio". Do I need reporting bug or it is my hardware failure? [15:00] zswap was buggy until kernel 6.9 IIRC [15:06] kernel 6.12.8 [15:07] wich ubuntu release are you on kmikita [15:08] lubuntu 18.04 + custom builded kernel [15:10] kmikita: are you using ESM/PRO ? [15:10] filing a bugreport with a custom kernel is pretty useless [15:11] lotuspsychje, ESM enabled [15:12] Even with Pro there is no support for that custom kernel [15:12] Lubuntu 18.04 will be EOL with or without esm/pro, at least from Lubuntu's perspective. [15:12] oerheks, then it's worth testing zswap with the official kernel... [15:12] Or use a supported release [15:14] maybe using swapfile on ext4 partition (additional fs layer) is bad idea? [15:14] or trying disable zwsap? [15:15] A current Ubuntu uses a swap file on ext4. That's fine [15:15] Don't know t what Lubuntu does [15:21] I found a file in my home directory I have never seen before named cap_%d I googled and no definitive answers about what this file is and does. Does anyone know what it is? [15:25] nunya: do you use kamoso ? [15:25] or cheese === Guest9270 is now known as buttros [15:29] or gst-plugins-bad [15:29] lotuspsychje:yes i do use cheese [15:30] thanks for help! I'll keep digging. [15:30] nunya: sounds like, https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/134e0vv/empty_file_autocreated_in_home_directory/ [15:30] cap capture file.. [15:32] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/blob/1.22.6/subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/gst/camerabin2/gstcamerabin2.c#L225 [15:37] lotuspsychje: I saw that link. I renamed the file to cap_%d.bak , opened cheese took a picture and video. Checked my home directory no new cap_%d file. I don't have kamoso. [15:45] oerheks: yes it references the file. Any idea why suddenly it's there when it never has been before when I have used cheese. Also why wouldn't it be recreated if I had renamed the original file to cap_%d.bak ? [15:45] likely not komoso nor cheese,.. [15:46] maybe a recording with gstreamer [15:48] oerheks:I wish programs would put this stuff in their directories instead of my home directory. I don't like finding seemingly random stuff in my directory! [15:48] it is temp file, don't worry [15:48] size = 0b ? [15:50] oerheks: yes 0b and I scanned with clamscan no virus found. Thanks for your help. [15:50] have fun! [16:00] I have a question about the security support for interim releases. I thought they would get a similar treatment as LTS release but only for 9 months, yet the recent rsync vulnerability has not been patched yet. Canonicals blog post and their linked CVE entries also confirm that the rsync package in oracular is still vulnerable: [16:00] https://ubuntu.com/blog/rsync-remote-code-execution Is this just about the LTS security team not working on interim releases, and it will be fixed later, or what is the problem here? [16:04] Guest23: the link you just posted answers your question [16:48] hello [16:49] :-) === u0_a352 is now known as funnut [17:24] how do a I mount a zfs data set in ubuntu ? [17:27] guest0101: what is a "zfs data set" ? [17:28] guest0101: do you mean zfs file system on external media? [17:29] yes [17:29] guest0101: after typing "how do a I mount a zfs data set in ubuntu" into google, it told me: "sudo mount -t zfs / where is the name of your ZFS pool, is the specific dataset you want to mount, and is the directory where you want to mount the dataset on your system. " [17:34] I just came in, but usually with zfs one sets the mountpoint= and canmount= properties and lets zfs do the mounting. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gaynd/index.html [17:35] (that's the Solaris docs, but applies to zfs everywhere) === keypushe- is now known as keypusher [18:04] hello! I'm setting up apt-cacher-ng to help reduce net traffic in my homelab (slow broadband) [18:04] - One thing that I would like to achieve (to save setup times) is to combine multiple PPAs into a single self-hosted repo. [18:04] e.g. the official vscode, qgis, google-chrome, bluemail etc as these are distinct tools that I use on all of my laptops but [18:04] it takes me ages to set up all that on a new machine - is acng a tool that can do that? [18:05] Guest6: I would look at ansible as a better solution [18:05] oooh I hadnt thought about that [18:05] good suggestion thanks [18:07] we used to have aptoncd, but thats no longer on the repos right [18:08] I think their main concern is setting up the same PPA's on multiple machines. The cache can be done as well, but mirroring multiple PPA's as a solution isn't really a good one [18:08] yeah [18:09] as for caching, unless you've got more than a few machines and/or on a metered connection, I'm not sure it's worth it for a handful of PPA's [18:10] maybe for vscode if you're on a metered connection [18:10] to be fair, if I was a bit more organised and just had a centralised document with a list of ppas/repos etc that I could use as reference it'd be fine. [18:10] I'm just setting up the ACNG cache because my homelab has 20 or so instances of ubuntu and I'm on a 4g connection [18:10] I thought I might be able to use it to kill 2 birds with one stone [18:10] nothing wrong with experimentation.. kind of the point for a homelab, isn't it? [18:10] absolutely :D [18:10] I would definitely look at ansible as a first step [18:11] and do the caching as well [18:11] mirroring PPA's maybe not [18:11] the biggest caching issue for me is things like kernel updates and critical security updates. 500MB at 12Mbps 20 times takes ages :D [18:12] thanks [18:13] I do have an additional issue in that - probably due to my 4g net - most apt upgrades fail to download 1 or 2 files with a random 400 error and I have to try again. I'm hoping the cache with improve that too [18:14] is there a simple way to make apt only download 1 file at a time as I have the impression that it's concurrency thats causing the issue [18:15] is that a Queue-mode setting ? [18:17] having a lot of machines, and slow connection might not be ideal [18:17] unless you keep yourself a few offline machines [18:17] apt doesn't do parallel downloads [18:17] at least not from the same repo [18:18] maybe synaptic can help downloading packages one by one [18:18] actually reading the docs, the default for Queue-mode is host, so as long as all my repos now point to the same host - my cache machine - it should reduce that risk anyway [18:18] correct [18:19] though you may want to stagger your machine updates a bit to avoid multiple requests getting backlogged [18:20] awesome. this channel continues to be just about the most helpful tech place on the internet - thanks :) [18:20] yea I'll only update 1 machine at a time [18:20] Guest6: apt-cacher-ng has a retry attempts setting [18:21] Guest6: btw, you don't point repo's at your caching server, you configure the caching server in your apt.conf settings [18:24] I looked into the different options and you can either define it as a proxy and leave all the sources untouched, or you can manually set it as a source if you explicitly set Remap entries in the conf. [18:24] I've done it that way initially because I like to do things manually to start with for the maximum learning potential [18:26] one thing they don't tell you in the docs re https, if you're setting an upstream server as an https source like so: Remap-mongoubuntu: repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu /mongoubuntu ; https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu [18:27] you need to install the apt packages that support https [18:27] without that I got GPG errors. [18:27] the https transport has nothing to do with the signatures of the packages [18:28] I suspect the GPG errors were symptomatic of the transport not working [18:29] either that or it was all a random mixture of errors that occurred due to connecting to a duff mirror early on [18:32] anyway it seems to be working properly for now and you've answered my obscure questions helpfully :) so I'll leave you in peace for the evening!

[20:52] wireless card may not get detected right away, I prefer to setup using a wired connection anyways as it's a faster connection to my Internet [20:53] at least to get things installed and updated [20:54] pragmaticenigma: OK, thanks [21:04] eelstrebor: What does `cpufreq-info` say?
