| tbwcjw | Morning all, does anybody have a solution for mapping a macintosh keyboard in ubuntu? command/control/option etc, with their shortcuts? I got this shitty macbook and stuck ubuntu on it first thing. | 07:50 |
| lotuspsychje | !info input-remapper | tbwcjw | 07:51 |
| ubottu | tbwcjw: input-remapper (2.0.1-1, noble): Input device button mapping tool (metapackage). In component universe, is optional. Built by input-remapper. Size 2 kB / 9 kB | 07:51 |
| lotuspsychje | tbwcjw: did you pick the right keyboard layout for that mac model? | 07:51 |
| tbwcjw | i'll look into input-remapper thanks. didn't find anything mentioning that in a few google searches. lotuspsychje: i have English (Macintosh) selected. | 07:54 |
| lotuspsychje | maybe paste your right mac model in the support channel here, so volunteers can think along with you | 07:55 |

| masber | how can I install x86_64-linux-musl-g++ in ubuntu 22.04? | 08:13 |
| magga | damn my ubuntu machine bricked yesterday. i ran a sudo apt-get remove command for some deps of playwright. had to reboot and was only able to use my terminal | 08:13 |
| magga | however i saved it by connecting to wifi through terminal ;O and then reinstalling `ubuntu-desktop` with `sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop` | 08:14 |
| magga | now it seems i am also upgraded to 24.04? can that be possible? | 08:14 |
| magga | i dont remember if i was on 22 before | 08:14 |
| ravage1 | it does not auto upgrade | 08:19 |
| magga | hmm ok, maybe i did it myself. i dont remember what i did last night D | 08:21 |
| magga | was in panic mode! | 08:21 |
| magga | for some reason wifi was disabled too, so i had to manually connect to wifi with WPA2 password. which by my happiness did work in the end so i was able to reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 08:22 |
| magga | ethernet didnt work either | 08:22 |
| magga | cant believe it didnt remember my thunderbird config tho ;D | 08:33 |
| magga | if you install it through snap will it be in `/usr/bin`? | 08:36 |

| stolen | i just installed ubuntu 24.04 alongside windows 10 for gateway laptop, but now it directly boots into ubuntu without any grub menu | 19:27 |
| CosmicDJ | stolen: sounds like this https://askubuntu.com/questions/148095/how-do-i-set-the-grub-timeout-and-the-grub-default-boot-entry | 19:32 |
| * stolen that's 12 yrs old? I was checking this tho: https://askubuntu.com/questions/681422/grub-menu-not-showing-with-dual-boot-uefi-mode-installation | 19:34 | |
| bprompt | stolen: hmmm you have an UEFI machine, right? | 19:35 |
| stolen | i don't think so, can I check? | 19:35 |
| stolen | I didn't find UEFI settings on shift+restart for windows | 19:35 |
| bprompt | stolen: how old is the machine? | 19:36 |
| stolen | i would say early 2010s | 19:36 |
| bprompt | stolen: or hmmm what model is it? dell what? | 19:36 |
| stolen | No its Gateway NV57H13u | 19:36 |
| bprompt | hmmm | 19:39 |
| stolen | hmmm seems that odd one out? | 19:40 |
| bprompt | stolen: heheh, I wasn't finding its date, is 2013, wondering if it has UEFI or not :) | 19:40 |
| icom706 | https://www.manualslib.com/manual/613306/Gateway-Nv57h.html?page=7 | 19:40 |
| stolen | tell me how I can help? | 19:40 |
| icom706 | youll just have to boot in bios and see | 19:41 |
| bprompt | stolen: ok, no uefi, that means you'll need to use a LiveUSB session to "chroot" into your linux root partition to put back "grub" as the boot manager, there's a way to do it in windows using its windows manager btw, but is a bit cheesy and not sure how reliable | 19:42 |
| stolen | the chroot one is reliable? | 19:43 |
| stolen | I can't enter windows partition anyways now tbh | 19:43 |
| bprompt | stolen: yeap, chroot is a way to "backdoor" as root into the linux installation to perform maintenance | 19:44 |
| stolen | do you have a step by step guide for this procedure? | 19:44 |
| stolen | that maybe i can follow? | 19:44 |
| bprompt | stolen: the machine is booting right into windows10, right? | 19:44 |
| stolen | nope directly boots into ubuntu | 19:45 |
| stolen | can't access windows :( | 19:45 |
| stolen | even though I made sure to select the dual boot option | 19:45 |
| bprompt | ohh, hmm thought it was the other way around, well, that's even easier | 19:45 |
| stolen | oh glad to hear that :) | 19:46 |
| bprompt | stolen: simple, boot into ubuntu, once there, issue ---> sudo update-grub <---- that will detect the windows10 partition and will add it to the "grub" menu for selection | 19:46 |
| stolen | i figured out it was a misconfigured grub :) thanks for the support, lemme try | 19:47 |
| bprompt | once you do that, simply reboot, and windows10 will be in the grub menu to boot from | 19:47 |
| stolen | i did that, still no grub menu, i think the trouble is I am not being shown the grub menu, not that there are no windows entries on it | 19:52 |
| stolen | i did that, still booting directly into ubuntu :( | 19:52 |
| bprompt | stolen: did you ever boot or get into windows10 at all? I mean, how do you know it installed ok? | 19:53 |
| stolen | yep, was working on it before installing ubuntu | 19:54 |
| stolen | update-grub even detects that windows partition on /dev/sda2 | 19:54 |
| bprompt | hmm | 19:55 |
| bprompt | stolen: ok, reboot, and hold down the "Shift" key all the while, namely, while booting up, hold it down, that will force the Grub menu to show | 19:55 |
| bprompt | stolen: I'm thinking the issue is the "default" OS and the timeout, the timeout seems to next to 0 seconds, and defaulting to Ubuntu, with no menu shown or going too fast | 19:56 |
| icom706 | or GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE" to "GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu | 19:57 |
| bprompt | stolen: though, you can also try changing the timeout, you can do that in /etc/default/grub | 19:57 |
| stolen | holding down shift didn't help :_( | 19:57 |
| bprompt | stolen: /etc/default/grub is the file that sets some parameters for the grub menu, timeout, show splash or not, load acpm and so on, after editing that file, you'd need to reissue the "update-grub" to pick those arguments up | 19:59 |
| bprompt | stolen: is also possible, you didn't press the Shift key too quickly, it has to be right before it powers back up, all the way down | 20:04 |
| stolen | fixed it, style to menu and timeout to 10 :) | 20:05 |
| icom706 | yay | 20:06 |
| bprompt | hmmm, I use timeout to 30 =) | 20:07 |
| icom706 | stolen, win 10 is only good till october this year - itl still work, just no updates. | 20:12 |
| stolen | why do you think i got ubuntu now *wink* | 20:12 |
| icom706 | good job | 20:12 |
| stolen | always wanted to make this transition in that laptop | 20:13 |
| icom706 | dont break it lol | 20:13 |
| stolen | i am trying not to :) but if you know me that's always a possibility haha | 20:26 |
| bprompt | well, updates for windows10 is up to this year, doesn't mean is not good, it simply means updates are good till then, I mean, windows7 after its EOL, google chrome and firefox still kept support for it for the next 10 years I think | 20:27 |
| icom706 | ive broken many myself. | 20:27 |
| magga | icom706: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1511954/font-rendering-issue-antialiasing | 20:45 |
| magga | this helped me btw | 20:45 |

| becks` | hi, newly installed ubuntu 24 - when I change the Port in sshd_config and restart sshd, I see an ICMP "unreachable - admin prohibited" - I haven't installed any firewall... how to debug this? | 21:43 |
| becks` | iptables -F fixed this. | 21:52 |
| === ja is now known as B1T | ||
| becks` | linux is really getting more and more like windows | 21:59 |
| Zer0KooL | win 11 looks more like linux u mean | 22:00 |
| becks` | Zer0KooL I edited my /etc/resolv.conf... after a reboot, some bullshit systemd crap changes it again. I mean seriously... stop messing with these things | 22:04 |
| CosmicDJ | becks`: maybe you changed a symlink pointing to /run (which is a tmpfs, it's gone after every reboot) | 22:12 |
| CosmicDJ | to a file somewhere under /run | 22:12 |
| becks` | nope.. I'm just trying to set my own resolvers. not that easy these days with systemd | 22:13 |
| CosmicDJ | becks`: resolvectl seems to be the way to set resolvers now... | 22:21 |
| becks` | CosmicDJ: thanks, but I really liked how linux was in the past. | 22:21 |
| CosmicDJ | becks`: well then remove the symlink and create a plain file, or pick a distro without systemd... | 22:28 |
| shadow255 | becks`: systemd-resolved can be disabled, you know :) | 22:28 |
| becks` | CosmicDJ yeah I disabled it, rebooted, and my resolv.conf was gone... deleted the symlink, and recreated it. are there even popular distros without systemd nowadays? | 22:29 |
| shadow255 | There are some, there are others where the choice of init system is left up to you | 22:30 |
| CosmicDJ | becks`: sure, it's called FreeBSD ;) | 22:30 |
| UndrWater | becks`: gentoo | 22:35 |
| becks` | thanks guys, and sorry for my frustration | 22:36 |
| UndrWater | slack, void, artix | 22:36 |
| UndrWater | becks`: i use openrc on gentoo, but systemd on other things. i understand the frustration since i 'grew up' with openrc. systemd is very different, but it's got some nice features. maybe worth diving into the shallow pool and see if it's something you can work with | 22:38 |
