| webchat36 | Regrettably I have no desire to create an Ubuntu One account I will most likely not use again. After I ran ubuntu-bug, the graphical problem solver reported that no upgrade log was present (probably fresh install) and I think sent nothing. Terminal reported insufficient permissions regarding a couple of journal files. I've updated the software | 01:36 |
| webchat36 | many times, so there should be a log. Not sure why the bug reported is not working. | 01:36 |
| rotaro | Hello. Any recommendations for a graphical image viewer app which has an "explorer" like view - as in, can show resizable thumbnails so I can decide which images to keep / delete? | 02:37 |
| donavan01 | im running ubuntu with KDE installed on it I have it running on a late 2015 imac but I cant get the brightness controls to work I tried a grub change from an older versiion and made no difference I check the /sys/class/backlight but there is nothing in their ... my graphics card appears to be working just fine for 3d and and it shows up in lshw as | 04:45 |
| donavan01 | an intel iris 6200 so im guessing the drivers got installed correctly ... what am I missing because I keep getting all sorts of answers bu nother seems to match my problem and system close enough to work | 04:45 |

| jp__ | hi, i'm looking for some software i used to have | 12:55 |
| lotuspsychje | whats it about jp__ | 12:55 |
| jp__ | oh sorry, another window pinged and i forgot about this one | 12:56 |
| jp__ | it was a shell utility that allowed you to make multiple session on one window | 12:57 |
| jp__ | also one that was used together with it that gave the shell more colors | 13:01 |
| lotuspsychje | colours like syntax highlighting jp__ ? | 13:02 |
| ogra | byobou ? | 13:02 |
| ogra | https://www.byobu.org/ | 13:03 |
| jp__ | yeahyeah | 13:03 |
| jp__ | thats it | 13:04 |
| jp__ | byobu | 13:04 |
| ogra | (I thinnk this is sadly dead upstream) | 13:04 |
| jp__ | you mean in ubuntu repos? | 13:04 |
| jp__ | or just in general | 13:04 |
| jp__ | i dont know what upstream means | 13:05 |
| ogra | well, ubuntu packages other people software into a distribution | 13:05 |
| ogra | upstream is "the other people" that originally create such software | 13:05 |
| jp__ | ah, well i mean i dont really need updates | 13:06 |
| jp__ | it worked just great the way it was already | 13:06 |
| ogra | if an upstrem stops maintaining their sotware and abandons it, ubuntu can not really keep it alive for a long time | 13:06 |
| jp__ | unless parts stop working | 13:06 |
| ogra | right | 13:07 |
| ogra | I fear byobu is one of these packages that have no actual owner anymore and I think it is planned to be dropped from the ubuntu archive eventually | 13:08 |
| ogra | (unless someone steps up and takes over the upstream maintenance) | 13:08 |
| jp__ | the byobu website looks great though | 13:10 |
| jp__ | what would entail maintaning it upstream? | 13:10 |
| ogra | there is some discussion about the future of byobu in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-server-seed-changes-for-25-10/61552 | 13:10 |
| ogra | (or the "non future" rather) | 13:10 |
| ogra | maintaining the website is only one minor part ... | 13:11 |
| ogra | it is rather about fixing bugs in the application itself, maintaining the application code, closing security holes etc | 13:11 |
| jp__ | doesn't seem too hard, it doesn't do much so it wouldn't have security issues? | 13:12 |
| jp__ | I dunno, i don't think i am advanced enough to maintain packages | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | isnt there like alternates? | 13:12 |
| jp__ | or maybe it is easier than i think | 13:13 |
| ogra | lotuspsychje, yes, that is why i pointed to that server discussion | 13:13 |
| jp__ | lotuspsychje: i don't know, but i really liked using byobu | 13:13 |
| ogra | they are discussion replacements | 13:13 |
| lotuspsychje | cool! | 13:13 |
| ogra | *discussion | 13:13 |
| ogra | bah | 13:13 |
| ogra | *discussing | 13:13 |
| * ogra glares at his fingers ... | 13:13 | |
| jp__ | how can i tail journalctl ? | 13:14 |
| jp__ | i remember using cat at a tty interface you would see what new characters were typed | 13:14 |
| === travisghansen4 is now known as travisghansen | ||
| jp__ | ttyUSB i think | 13:14 |
| jp__ | is there something similar for journalctl? | 13:15 |
| lotuspsychje | journalctl -f | ccze -A , to view in colours jp__ | 13:15 |
| jp__ | works wonderfully thnx | 13:25 |
| jp__ | is working for canonical a hard thing to achieve? | 13:26 |
| lotuspsychje | that depends on your skills jp__ but lets discuss that in #ubuntu-discuss? | 13:29 |
| Knightwi1e | heya | 14:55 |
| jp__ | htop is good, but it shows really long command names so long i can't see what it is | 18:39 |
| jp__ | my server runs 30+ python scripts at the same time | 18:40 |
| jp__ | is there a way to shorten te command names to only filename instead of the whole command path? | 18:40 |
| jp__ | lol i see now it's about 130 | 18:42 |
| tomreyn | jp__: ps auxw | less | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | oh wait, you want it shorter | 18:53 |

| aaronm04 | Hi all, I have a Dell Precision 5680 with a MIPI camera. After a recent update of Kubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, it stopped working. Is this a known issue? Can anyone help me fix it? Thanks | 19:51 |
| aaronm04 | Oh and I switched over from the Intel OEM ppa to the Dell ppa for the ipu6 packages months ago because it broke and that fixed it at the time. This is a recurring thing :( | 19:52 |
| roped | the output of systemctl looks scary and too long, how do I debloat the list of system startup services a bit? by brute forcing through reading the details about each service or is there a better approach? | 19:53 |
| bprompt | roped: hmmm you can stop most services with "sudo systemctl stop [NAME OF SERVICE HERE]" | 19:59 |
| tomreyn | aaronm04: making gaming laptops or mobile workstations work properly with all features can be cumbersome, and can involve manual intervention, unless ubuntu is fully supported on it by the vendor. | 20:03 |
| aaronm04 | Ah I see. It's just frustrating that it _was_ working | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | aaronm04: https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers explains how you can build those drivers on your system, using dkms. using third party software makes your system more difficult to support. | 20:04 |
| aaronm04 | Ok thanks tomreyn | 20:05 |
| roped | bprompt, I know how to stop and how to disable services, I'd like to learn to figure out which one to stop without killing the system | 20:05 |
| roped | for example I for sure don't need CUPS, this desktop will never print anything | 20:05 |
| tomreyn | aaronm04: have you checked whether there is a version of ubuntu which dell supports on this hardware? unless you're happy to fiddle with drivers, i would suggest using this while support lasts. | 20:06 |
| aaronm04 | I haven't. I'll check | 20:07 |
| tomreyn | aaronm04: https://www.dell.com/support/product-details/en-uk/product/precision-16-5680-laptop/drivers lists Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | 20:10 |
| tomreyn | which likely means that they support this ubuntu version (only) | 20:11 |
| tomreyn | and you may need to use their recovery image to regain dell support for it. | 20:11 |
| tomreyn | (or try to find out how they've configured this Ubuntu OEM installer and replicate this on your existing or fresh 22.04 installation) | 20:12 |
| jp__ | how do i maximize a shell window over my 2 screens? | 20:17 |
| jp__ | the previously referred to byobu shell | 20:18 |
| JanC | aaronm04: there is an intel-ipu6-dkms package in Ubuntu 24.04 | 20:24 |
| JanC | oh, and there are ipu6 module packages for it too | 20:25 |
| === realies9346 is now known as realies934 | ||
| JanC | so installing linux-modules-ipu6-generic (if you use the generic kernel) should work | 20:25 |
| tomreyn | for *this* part of the haardware (not neccessarily others) | 20:26 |
| JanC | (should probably work, without any external PPAs) | 20:26 |
| JanC | well, that was the question :) | 20:26 |
| JanC | I'd always check standard distro stuff first before messing with 3rd party repos? | 20:28 |
| JanC | and considering it came with 22.04 originally, this isn't brand new hardware anymore | 20:29 |
| aaronm04 | tomreyn: wow, I don't know if it's worth it to switch to 22.04 since this is a work laptop | 20:38 |
| aaronm04 | Thanks for researching though | 20:38 |
| aaronm04 | JanC: yeah I think the next step is uninstalling all the packages from the Dell PPA and then trying that | 20:40 |
| FKAShinobi__ | I need a more recent version of nodejs than in the archives. I did install it and npm. I noticed that I can get newer versions of node and npm from npm itself. If I globally install the newer nodejs and npm will that break anything? | 21:06 |
| younder | curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash then nvm install 22 should give node -v -> v22.17.1 | 21:09 |
| roped | FKAShinobi__, you need a more recent version of Node.js for project development or a newer system Node.js? | 21:15 |
| === calwig- is now known as calwig | ||
| aaronm04 | younder: note that if you install nvm it'll add a delay each time you start bash. If that bothers you, you can take the lines nvm added out of your .bashrc and put them in a separate file that you source when you need the newer node.js: "source loadnvm.rc" | 21:54 |
| FKAShinobi__ | roped, development. I'm new to the front-end stuff, but I just found out about nvm and I (think) I have it running. | 22:00 |
| FKAShinobi__ | aaronm04: Good to know. Thank you both! | 22:01 |
