| gnyeki | i have a binary installed at /usr/bin/ss but dpkg -S /usr/bin/ss says "dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/ss". is this normal behavior for dpkg? | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| JanC | gnyeki: dpkg -S /bin/ss | 00:12 |
| JanC | I suppose this is because /bin is now a symlink to /usr/bin but dpkg looks at the install path in the package | 00:13 |

| NeilRG | how can I edit my Ubuntu boot menu? | 00:40 |
| NeilRG | there are some bad entries in it | 00:40 |
| Bashing-om | NeilRG: UEFI system - then it is the tool efibootmgr to edit the boot menu (not grub) - please see in terminal ' man efibootmgr ', | 00:48 |
| NeilRG | Bashing-om, ty | 00:51 |
| NeilRG | Bashing-om, So I used that tool, but my boot menu didn't update | 00:52 |
| NeilRG | do I need to copy the entries somehwere? | 00:52 |
| gnyeki | JanC: yes, that was it, thank you! interestingly /bin/ss is actually a hardlink to /usr/bin/ss | 01:02 |
| gnyeki | can dpkg or another tool also search the links that packages created? | 01:04 |
| gnyeki | /var/lib/dpkg/info/iproute2.* don't have any awareness of the hardlink at /usr/bin/ss | 01:06 |
| JanC | it's not a hardlink | 01:09 |
| Bashing-om | NeilRG: Sorry - But my experience with efibootmgr is also very limited. Perhaps others here can add insight. | 01:11 |
| NeilRG | Okay thanks | 01:11 |
| gnyeki | JanC: it is for me according to ls -i /bin/ss /usr/bin/ss. running 22.04 though | 01:22 |
| JanC | gnyeki: no, they have the same inode ID because they both point to the same filename through the symlink | 01:23 |
| gnyeki | shouldn't ls -l show that they are symlinks? | 01:23 |
| JanC | the symlink is on the directories | 01:24 |
| gnyeki | facepalm, right | 01:24 |
| JanC | you can use 'stat' to get the link count | 01:25 |
| === therealnope05 is now known as therealnope0 | ||
| JanC | where every filename that points to the same inode is a link (including the original filename!) | 01:27 |
| JanC | e.g.: stat -c "%h" /usr/bin/ss | 01:28 |
| gnyeki | great, thanks! | 01:31 |
| Bashing-om | NeilRG: To be clear - you are refering to the firmware boot menu .. and not to the operating system's grub boot menu - correct ? | 01:33 |
| NeilRG | I don't know the difference | 01:33 |
| NeilRG | oh, I think it's the grub boot menu | 01:34 |
| NeilRG | since it has subentries for ubuntu, etc. | 01:34 |
| Bashing-om | NeilRG: In the case of Grub - it's config file is built from other files. What is it that you need to change ? Depends on what is the base file(s) one needs to edit - in most cases. | 01:37 |
| NeilRG | which files and how do I verify the entires? | 01:38 |
| JanC | the most common settings for GRUB are in /etc/default/grub | 01:42 |
| JanC | at the top it also explains to run 'update-grub' (as root) after making any changes | 01:42 |

| Komu | i have system+home-dirs on a ssd, but 1 dir is a link to a slow hd: ~/Downloads -> /home.hd/ll/Downloads/ . Now i have a problem within the terminal, LXterminal + Konsole booth do some kind of "pwd"->cd to absolute path upon open a new tab, such as current dir isn't ~/Downloads but /home.hd/ll/Downloads, which kinda sucks b/c i sometimes wanna cd ../wikis or something | 05:29 |

| nuts_ | "source /etc/profile.d/vte.sh" | 05:50 |
| nuts_ | without the quotation marks | 05:51 |
| Komu | nuts_: i don't have that file, only vte.csh | 05:53 |
| Komu | nuts_: it's in pkg: budgie-desktop-environment | 05:56 |
| nuts_ | and did you try vte.csh instead? | 05:56 |

| mjt0k | hi! what's an easy way to see if a package is in main (vs restricted/universe/etc), without installing ubuntu? | 07:15 |
| mjt0k | (I guess I can add an extra line to apt/sources.list on debian) | 07:16 |
| oerheks | apt policy <package> | 07:20 |
| oerheks | oh if you run debian, look at launchpad. | 07:21 |
| mjt0k | launchpad where? | 07:21 |
| oerheks | https://launchpad.net/ | 07:22 |
| mjt0k | (the context is: I maintain quite a few packages in debian, and getting bug reports when ubuntu devs import the packages to ubuntu, b/c some components are not in main, - so I can add the new deps to the proper place myself, without doing a bug roundtrip) | 07:23 |
| oerheks | i would not add a list in your sources, it will create a frankensteindebian | 07:23 |
| mjt0k | it wouldn | 07:23 |
| mjt0k | t | 07:23 |
| mjt0k | adding stuff to sources is not the same as installing from that repo | 07:23 |
| mjt0k | I know where launchpad is. But I don't know where in launchpad I can find the section info for the given debian/ubuntu package | 07:25 |
| mjt0k | so, adding ubuntu to sources.list (and to preferences) helped, now I can use `apt policy` to see which section a package belongs to in ubuntu. Is this info available in some web page manually? | 07:51 |
| oerheks | on launchpad, mjt0k | 08:19 |
| oerheks | when i search; launchpad + source + nemo, gives me this page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nemo | 08:19 |
| oerheks | all versions, origin (universe) and date | 08:20 |
| oerheks | bugreports, maintainers | 08:20 |
| mjt0k | that's helpful. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/$SOURCE | 08:21 |

| effortDee | anyone here? | 13:50 |
| oerheks | :-) | 13:51 |
| effortDee | hi oerheks | 14:04 |
| lotuspsychje | can we help you today effortDee | 14:04 |
| effortDee | im using kdenlive and never seen this before, but on a new laptop with ubuntu 24 and kdenlive installed its saying i need a few packages/apps | 14:04 |
| lotuspsychje | effortDee: share a pic or !paste with the volunteers if you like | 14:04 |
| effortDee | https://ibb.co/WN1J564G | 14:05 |
| effortDee | i have installed ffmpeg via terminal | 14:05 |
| effortDee | but still getting this | 14:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | effortDee: when you say you installed ffmpeg via terminal... do you mean you ran `apt install ffmpeg` ? | 14:06 |
| effortDee | yes | 14:06 |
| effortDee | and i can see the version | 14:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | does the issue persist after rebooting? | 14:07 |
| effortDee | yes | 14:07 |
| pragmaticenigma | do you know if you are running a snap version of kdenlive ? | 14:07 |
| oerheks | isn' t that part of restricted-extras? | 14:07 |
| effortDee | yes snap version | 14:08 |
| effortDee | using the "Software" installation package manager thingy mabob | 14:08 |
| effortDee | been using ubuntu for years and still no clue as to whether thats a good thing or not, i hear a lot of hate for snaps but it seems to work, unless i have installed kdenlive via terminal in the past | 14:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | if you list `~/snap` do you see an entry in there for kdenlive ? | 14:09 |
| effortDee | says its a directory and nothing more | 14:09 |
| effortDee | in terminal? | 14:09 |
| effortDee | snap list | 14:10 |
| effortDee | shows kdenlive | 14:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | okay, that might be the problem then | 14:10 |
| effortDee | uninstall via the software manager then re-install via terminal? | 14:11 |
| pragmaticenigma | I think that will work... trying to verify that the kdenlive apt package isn't a redirect to installing the snap | 14:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | I guess try it and find out will be faster than me trying to verify at the moment | 14:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | from what I can see... installing via apt in the terminal will install the deb packaged version | 14:14 |
| oerheks | https://snapcraft.io/kdenlive gives a newer version than 24.08.3 | 14:17 |
| oerheks | !info kdenlive noble | 14:17 |
| ubottu | kdenlive (4:23.08.5-0ubuntu4, noble): non-linear video editor. In component universe, is optional. Built by kdenlive. Size 2,980 kB / 8,940 kB | 14:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | oerheks: perhaps... but it's clear that the snap package is missing components | 14:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | ffmpeg is a very vital need for kdenlive | 14:18 |
| oerheks | might be fixed in stable 24.12.3 | 14:19 |
| oerheks | and the bottom square of that screenshot; codecs have been updated, everything seems fine? | 14:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | codecs would be unrelated to ffmpeg's presence | 14:26 |
| lotuspsychje | seems like a lot of threads on that issue; https://forums.opensuse.org/t/kdenlive-missing-dependencies/174860 | 14:29 |
| oerheks | shotcut, openshot, tons of others https://alternativeto.net/software/kdenlive/?platform=linux&license=opensource | 14:33 |
| effortDee | sorry was away | 14:37 |
| effortDee | i'll try now | 14:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | lotuspsychje, oerheks: this appears to be a snap issue, not sure why there'd be a need to look at opensuse for answers. first and easiest way to try and resolve this would be to remove the snap package, and install the apt deb package and see if it resolves their issue | 14:37 |

| dingwat | Possibly dumb question: how do I run Ubuntu Server as a live USB? I flashed 24.04 to a drive with Rufus, when I boot I select the "Try or Install Ubuntu Server" and then it dumps me into an installer (asks me to pick a language). How do I not install it and just run? | 16:46 |
| leftyfb | dingwat: why? | 16:47 |
| oerheks | not, that is the way to go, else put in a 2nd usb and install on that | 16:47 |
| dingwat | leftyfb: because I need to run Ubuntu Server on a device and I don't want to install it | 16:48 |
| leftyfb | dingwat: why? | 16:48 |
| dingwat | leftyfb: the device doesn't have a disk? | 16:49 |
| ioria | dingwat, the closest is '"Enter shell"' from the 'welcome' menu, i guess | 16:50 |
| leftyfb | dingwat: that's not how the live installer works. It is meant for recovery and manual changes, not a running "ubuntu server" | 16:51 |
| dingwat | leftyfb: it literally says “Try or Install Ubuntu Server” in grub. | 16:54 |
| oerheks | the other option is; install on an 2nd usb | 16:54 |
| oerheks | make sure grub is on that device too | 16:55 |
| leftyfb | "try" as in, mess around with it a bit. Check out package versions, make sure things run. It is not meant to be a running OS 24/7 | 16:55 |
| dingwat | ioria: sorry, how do I get to the welcome menu? | 16:55 |
| ioria | dingwat, https://i.sstatic.net/dqCLh.png | 16:56 |
| dingwat | ioria: thanks! | 16:56 |
| ioria | ok | 16:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | dingwat: when the installer appears... press Ctrl + Alt + F2 or F4 to drop to regular terminal | 16:58 |

| CyberSpaceSailor | I edited /etc/fstab in order to automount a NTFS Windows 10 partition on Lubuntu by adding the line "UUID={{Partition UUID Number}} /mnt/Windows10 ntfs defaults 0 0". However, after saving the changes to /etc/fstab and rebooting the PC, the Windows 10 partition is not visible anymore in "Devices" at PCManFM-Qt. Any idea about what's wrong and how can I fix it, so the Windows 10 partition is visible again? | 19:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | Is the file system available if you go to your target mount point? | 19:11 |
| CyberSpaceSailor | Yes, it is | 19:12 |
| pragmaticenigma | And "Devices" is where you normally see things like USB drives ? | 19:12 |
| CyberSpaceSailor | It's just that it's not visible in the "Devices" section of PCManFM-Qt anymore, as it used to be. | 19:12 |
| CyberSpaceSailor | pragmaticenigma: Yes | 19:13 |
| CyberSpaceSailor | if I remove the added line from /etc/fstab, it will be displayed in "Devices" at PCManFM-Qt... But it won't be automounted anymore | 19:14 |
| pragmaticenigma | This would be expected behavior. As the device is now under the control of fstab which is at the system level, it can no longer be mounted and unmounted by a user | 19:14 |
| CyberSpaceSailor | pragmaticenigma: Ok... That's something I wasn't expecting, because I did the same on an another machine and it was still visible at PCManFM-QT | 19:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | There are so many factors that could play into that | 19:25 |
| CyberSpaceSailor | pragmaticenigma: Yeah. I need to check the other machine to see if I can see any difference. Perhaps I mounted it previously using /media instead of /mnt | 19:29 |
