[06:10] <svij> morning!
[06:10] <Kilos> hi svij
[06:11] <Kilos> and dholbach
[06:11] <dholbach> hi Kilos
[06:11] <dholbach> hi svij
[06:20] <svij> hi Kilos and dholbach
[06:42] <dpm> good morning all
[06:43] <Kilos> hi dpm
[06:43] <dpm> hi Kilos
[06:47] <svij> hey dpm
[06:49] <dholbach> hey dpm
[06:50] <dpm> hi dholbach, svij
[07:26] <davidcalle> Morning o/
[12:32] <knome> popey, did you have a plan to use the new community wordpress theme for some site? if you didn't catch it yet, the first (actually second) public release is out already
[12:32] <knome> popey, also, if you need help setting it up, i'll happily help
[12:37] <czajkowski> knome: think he's on leave this week
[12:37] <popey> I am, but I am about :)
[12:37] <knome> czajkowski, yes, i observed his idle time...
[12:37] <popey> hehehe
[12:37]  * knome da sneaky
[12:39] <popey> We were looking at the theme when we kicked off the new year of Ubuntu Podcast, but as the theme wasn't ready we rolled our own
[12:39] <knome> aha
[12:39] <popey> knome: I have another site i may use it for though. So if you have a link I'd be interested in trying it again
[12:39] <knome> sure :) --> https://github.com/knomepasi/ubuntu-community-wordpress-theme
[12:40] <popey> thanks
[12:40]  * popey makes notes
[12:41] <knome> in case you see anything wonky or a feature missing when you test it, feel free to poke me about it and i'll see if it's sensible to land that to the theme itself (eg. not a child theme)
[12:41] <popey> kk
[12:41] <popey> thanks
[12:41] <knome> np
[12:41] <knome> still in the stage where any feedback is welcome so i can make sure the theme is something people are actually willing to use
[13:31] <svij> dpm: call?
[13:34] <dpm> svij, dholbach, I won't be joining this week and the next one, but I should be back in the calls after that. Please feel free to go ahead without me and I'll follow up on e-mail
[13:35] <svij> dpm: ok
[13:45] <czajkowski> hmm running updates today and keep getting E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[13:45] <czajkowski> E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/
[13:45] <czajkowski> which seems odd, anyone else having any weirdness today ?
[13:46] <dholbach> any other process using apt?
[13:46] <dholbach> like update-manager checking apt or something?
[13:47] <svij> dpm: ok, send you a mail with one thing which I should know in the next days
[13:48] <dpm> thanks a lot svij
[13:48] <svij> dpm: besides that, assigned all the tasks to you as always. ;)
[13:49] <dpm> argh, I can't believe I did that beginner mistake! :-)
[13:49] <svij> :)
[14:02] <dholbach> jcastro, do you think you can get marcoceppi to help us out with https://code.launchpad.net/~dholbach/ubucon-site/ucucon-layer-add-lxml-builddeps/+merge/290990?
[14:02] <marcoceppi> o/
[14:04] <dholbach> ooh, he's already responding in the MP!
[14:04] <dholbach> mhall119, ^
[14:04] <jcastro_> does someone need me to make marco do something?
[14:04] <dholbach> svij, ^
[14:04] <marcoceppi> jcastro_: I already did it
[14:04] <dholbach> go go go!
[14:04] <dholbach> <3 <3 <3
[14:04] <marcoceppi> dholbach: you uploaded it 45 seconds ago ;)
[14:05] <jcastro_> too slow marco, too slow.
[14:05] <dholbach> marcoceppi, yeah, and I sent a couple of mails a couple of days ago :-P
[14:05] <marcoceppi> dholbach: I'm much mor responsive on irc since we're sprinting
[14:05] <dholbach> mhall119 just helped me figure out what else might be required :-)
[14:05] <dholbach> good to know
[14:05] <dholbach> thanks a lot marcoceppi°!
[14:06] <marcoceppi> dholbach: I did just read them this morning, I've added a task to my sprint to sweep through the layer again, I made some fixes to the django layer to improve ubucon
[14:06] <czajkowski> dholbach: nope:(
[14:06] <czajkowski> shall run it again
[14:06] <dholbach> awesome
[14:06] <czajkowski> most odd
[14:06] <czajkowski> 4th time is the charm :)
[14:07] <jcastro_> dholbach, say hi to us today: https://appear.in/marcoceppi-juju-charm-community-sprint-201604
[14:12] <dholbach> ^ maybe we should start using appear.in too - the unicorn is a must-have
[14:14] <dholbach> marcoceppi, thanks a lot for looking into it!
[14:23] <jcastro_> appear.in is great because it's webrtc, no plugins needed, it's just a URL.
[14:24] <dholbach> hum... the page asked me if it could use flash
[14:24] <jcastro_> huh, weird
[14:34] <svij> it doesn't ask for flash for me ;)
[15:53] <dholbach> all right my friends - I call it a day - see you all tomorrow!
[16:28]  * davidcalle drives home o/


[22:21] <DrewT> I just upgraded to 1.8.0+bzr4001-0ubuntu2 and noticed that the debian-installer is no longer an option in the node config on the gui or cli, is this a bug or is that feature now deprecated?


[00:01] <oerheks> !fstab
[00:03] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: ' swapon /swapfile ' for a file type swap.
[00:03] <Gallomimia> already did the mkswap and swap on. i followed https://askubuntu.com/questions/126018/adding-a-new-swap-file-how-to-edit-fstab-to-enable-swap-after-reboot
[00:04] <Gallomimia> cause.... lmgtfy.com still exists
[00:04] <Bashing-om> Gallomimia: " /swapfile                                 none            swap    sw              0       0 "
[00:04] <Gallomimia> thx
[00:05] <Gallomimia> ubuntu 18.04 ran just fine without a swap file on this hardware (16g) but 3 days in on 21.10 and i'm eating it
[00:05] <Gallomimia> not impressed.
[00:07] <Gallomimia> gonna reboot since nothing is stable after being out of ram
[00:24] <Gallomimia> i'm having some rather odd sound relics, only when listening to the band "Infected Mushroom" on youtube. certain parts of the song just downright cut out. i feel like that portion is supposed to be in the surround channels or something. But I have linux system sound and stereo connected via HDMI both set to 2 channels only. is there something I can do to test what's happening?
[00:31] <forgotmynick> on https://manpages.debian.org/testing/fuse/mount.fuse.8.en.html#kernel_cache it basically says specifying this option will disable kernel caching but then on https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-object-storage?topic=cloud-object-storage-s3fs#s3fs-performance it says it enables kernel caching - could someone clarify please?
[00:39] <ryanrambharose> is it possible to run the microsoft office suite in ubuntu? not via a web browser
[00:46] <computerjoe314> Hello all, as mentioned previously I've been experiencing random very high CPU usage on one core even with no applications running. As requested, I looked at it with perf top, and perf top tells me that intel_gpio_community_irq_handler is the process heavily using my processor. What is that, and how can I resolve it?
[00:55] <Gallomimia> gpio stands for general purpose input output. usually present on an arduino or rPi, so is that what you're running?
[00:55] <tomreyn> computerjoe314: are you using a trackpad or mouse?
[00:55] <computerjoe314> Trackpad
[00:55] <Gallomimia> i'm going to say if you got one of those machines.... something is shorting to those pins
[00:56] <tomreyn> computerjoe314: see if it doesn't happen when you use a mouse rather than the trackpad
[00:56] <computerjoe314> It's my HP Pavilion - 14-ce3
[00:57] <computerjoe314> tomreyn: I'll try it, but I
[00:57] <computerjoe314> 'm pretty sure it's happened even with mouse
[00:57] <tomreyn> usb mouse?
[00:58] <computerjoe314> Correct. Don't recall it exactly and I will try it.
[00:58] <computerjoe314> If that is it what the issue is what can be done to fix it?
[00:59] <tomreyn> also look for a bios update, it may come with an embedded controller update which would fix this
[00:59] <computerjoe314> BIOS is up to date. That was the first thing I tried.
[00:59] <tomreyn> "14-ce3" is a series, not an exact model.  journalctl -b | grep DMI:   may be more precise
[00:59] <tomreyn> oh ok
[01:00] <computerjoe314> My records show it's a HP Pavilion - 14-ce3065st. BIOS version is F.14
[01:02] <computerjoe314> I see F.15 is now out though, but it's a windows package.
[01:02] <tomreyn> https://github.com/VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C/issues/259 is what brought up the idea about it being related to gpio interrupt mode / i2c / trackpad (but this is probably not the one you have there): https://github.com/VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C/issues/259
[01:03] <computerjoe314> How to you recommend I update the BIOS if it's a Windows package?
[01:04] <tomreyn> based on the documentation HP provides for it, if any
[01:06] <tomreyn> the .exe file is a self-extractable lzma-zip archive, you can unpack it using 7-zip
[01:06] <computerjoe314> https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Archive-Read-Only/How-to-update-BIOS-on-Linux/td-p/4869835  It's late here, I'll try tomorrow though
[01:07] <Gallomimia> well the easiest way is by booting to windows obviously. that may not be desirable or practical. they have ways to get it done with linux
[01:10] <computerjoe314> Don't have any windows to boot it too :-) . Updated the BIOS with the windows it came with, then wiped it.
[01:11] <Gallomimia> yeah as i suspected. but it is possible using only linux
[01:11] <Gallomimia> not recommended when late at night. sleep induced mistakes can be fatal
[01:14] <tomreyn> it's quite convenient really, you can just place the files on the efi sp, no need for a usb stick
[01:14] <Teureale> Hello. Somebody knows the way automatically rename photos according to information(date) in their EXIF?
[01:16] <tomreyn> a script combining commands to extract the relevant exif data and then rename the file probably
[01:16] <orange1> download the windows iso boot install in a vm then make bootable windows usb from the windows in vm idk heh
[01:17] <Gallomimia> that's one possible way orange1 but there's actually easier ways.
[01:21] <Sircle> I get this blank screen after some variable time while I am running any linux os. (I tried multiple). No keys work except dim keyboard lights. No external display works. I upgraded bios also. changed ram slots, No help. What can this be?  https://imgur.com/a/IzQYMpd  dell 6700
[01:22] <TJ-> Sircle: is the system still reachable and responsive over SSH ?
[01:23] <Sircle> Sircle no
[01:23] <TJ-> Sircle: so sounds like the system has stopped
[01:23] <Sircle> ya
[01:23] <Sircle> but it starts again. and somewhere in the middle, it stops
[01:25] <Sircle> TJ- what could be done?
[01:26] <TJ-> Sircle: no idea, it sounds like a hardware fault
[01:27] <computerjoe314> Will probably need help with BIOS update tomorrow. Thank you all!
[02:27] <Sircle> what is the easiest way to make windows usb in ubuntu?
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> Sircle: try ventoy, non-official tool
[02:32] <GrayGhost> Sircle, I just click on the iso and let restore disk image do it thing
[02:36] <Sircle> GrayGhost windows usbs are different
[02:36] <GrayGhost> it works fine for me
[02:36] <Sircle> lotuspsychje yes doing it. then i will just copy/paste the .iso in some folder in the new usb partition made by ventoy
[02:37] <Sircle> GrayGhost which windows version and which app is run when you click on the .iso file?
[02:37] <orange1> woeusb worked once for me
[02:37] <Sircle> orange1 command?
[02:37] <orange1> its in the ubuntu store
[02:38] <GrayGhost> Disks
[02:38] <Sircle> orange1 https://pastebin.mozilla.org/AxEXO471#L40
[03:29] <Sven_vB> what options do I have in focal to make the "system halted" message fancier? I'd love to have a big figlet font message about how it's now safe to turn off the AC power adapter, but still see the log messages above about what systemd did to achieve halting.
[03:30] <MrConorAE> like the retro "it is now safe to turn off your computer"
[03:30] <MrConorAE> Sven_vB ?
[03:31] <Gallomimia> that'd be sweet
[03:32] <Sven_vB> yeah inspired by that :)
[03:33] <Sven_vB> thinking of it, is there a way to boot into another ramdisk instead of halting? then I could even do fancy things like play a sound and then send a network message to a wifi-enabled wall socket to cut power there.
[03:34] <Sven_vB> or maybe can I just return control back to GRUB?
[03:34] <Sven_vB> because at that point I know how to make GRUB boot that ramdisk.
[03:35] <Sven_vB> setting a grubenv flag and then rebooting would achieve the ramdisk boot but would wipe the systemd log messages. and my BIOS would waste about 2 minutes trying to detect USB stuff.
[03:37] <Sven_vB> and I'd have to figure out how to make that ramdisk not log its own boot messages to screen.
[03:39] <Sven_vB> maybe systemd can give control back to the ramdisk that started systemd, and that ramdisk can then undo the file system root switching
[03:40] <Sven_vB> (and run stuff included in that original ramdisk)
[05:13] <Sircle> I created usb for windows using ventoy. Stuck on this. Any clues? using m6700 laptop with ubuntu . https://youtu.be/NpNWqUAITRo?t=79
[05:20] <alkisg> Sircle: do you mean that you need help with booting windows? I don't think this channel could help you with that...
[05:21] <Sircle> no. alkisg
[05:21] <Sircle> I created usb via linux and I get this https://youtu.be/NpNWqUAITRo?t=79
[05:21] <Sircle> any clues?
[05:21] <alkisg> That's a youtube video showing that someone got stuck while booting windows, right?
[05:21] <alkisg> This is an ubuntu channel, we don't know windows...
[05:22] <Sircle> yes, exactly my case
[05:22] <alkisg> Ventoy is not an ubuntu package; if you need help with ventoy, try its github bug tracker
[05:22] <Sircle> ok. thanks!
[05:22] <alkisg> np
[05:22] <Sircle> alkisg but my point was, I used dd also. maybe there might be something I didn't knew and realted to linux
[05:23] <alkisg> Sircle: windows.iso's don't work with dd
[05:24] <alkisg> The problem is in the .isos, not in the dd
[05:24] <Sircle> alkisg why?
[05:24] <alkisg> They're not "hybrid" like linux isos
[05:24] <alkisg> Microsoft didn't make them that way
[05:24] <alkisg> That's why microsoft has a special "media creator" tool; for more, you'd need to ask in #windows
[05:24] <MrConorAE> i have a problem
[05:24] <MrConorAE> it isn't exactly ubuntu, it's a Raspberry Pi (close enough?)
[05:25] <MrConorAE> i have a USB hard drive, but it isn't showing up on lsusb, lsblk or fdisk -l
[05:25] <MrConorAE> what's going on? i've tried other ports and restarting, and nothing fixed it
[05:26] <MrConorAE> the light on the drive is on and I can hear the disk spinning
[05:26] <alkisg> MrConorAE: which operating system are you using, raspberry pi os?
[05:26] <MrConorAE> yes
[05:26] <MrConorAE> pi4 headless
[05:26] <alkisg> Try in #raspberrypi or #raspbian or #raspios
[05:26] <MrConorAE> ah ok
[05:26] <Sircle> alkisg ok
[05:26] <MrConorAE> thanks
[05:27] <alkisg> 👍
[05:32] <MrConorAE> alkisg: any ideas while I wait for an answer? i know this isn't the right channel for it, but Ubuntu and Raspbian aren't /that/ different... are they
[05:33] <alkisg> MrConorAE: it's a policy for most open source channels, and it indeed makes support much easier
[05:33] <alkisg> I'm in matrix Raspberry Pi channel, I can try to answer there if you come
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> !arm | MrConorAE also
[05:33] <MrConorAE> ubottu: ah
[05:34] <MrConorAE> alkisg: what's the server address? i'll add it to my client
[05:34] <alkisg> lotuspsychje: #ubuntu-arm doesn't support raspbian either...
[05:34] <alkisg> MrConorAE: matrix.org, it's not IRC, it's bridged to IRC but it's a different protocol
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> oh sorry, thought they want ubuntu on pi
[05:35] <alkisg> 👍
[05:35] <MrConorAE> oh :/ is it XMPP? that's the only other one that Thunderbird supports
[05:35] <alkisg> MrConorAE: there's a very nice web-based client for it
[05:35] <alkisg> You'll need an account
[05:36] <alkisg> The final URL is https://app.element.io/#/room/#raspberrypi:matrix.org
[05:36] <MrConorAE> thanks, see you there in a moment (hopefully) :)
[05:56] <MrConorAE> alkisg: ok, I'm on the matrix room as MrConorAE
[06:03] <rex> Is there a trustworthy opensource, no payware way to open bitlocker partitions with write rights?
[06:11] <linocisco> I cant print to my printer Canon LBP3050 via USB
[06:12] <linocisco> got error "Idle - ccp send_data error, exit"
[06:14] <linocisco> lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS.
[06:14] <linocisco> lpadmin: Unable to copy PPD file.
[07:06] <linocisco> I can't print to LBP3050 via USB
[07:06] <linocisco> I found two printers for the same model. but nothing printed
[07:06] <omega_doom> hello. Is there a way to restart network in a way that becomes same as it was after boot?
[07:07] <rex> dhclient?
[07:08] <linocisco> omega_doom, sudo systemctl restart networking
[07:08] <Bashing-om> omega_doom: Have you tried ' systemctl restart networking ' ?
[07:09] <omega_doom> Yes, "Failed to restart networking.service: Unit networking.service not found."
[07:11] <omega_doom> I don't have "networking.service".
[07:16] <Bashing-om> omega_doom: server or desktop install ?
[07:16] <linocisco> omega_doom, which version of ubuntu?
[07:17] <omega_doom> Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, desktop
[07:22] <Bashing-om> omega_doom: ' systemctl status network-manager | nc termbin.com 9999 ' - what does the kernel think ?
[07:23] <omega_doom> Bashing-om: https://termbin.com/5zbj
[07:30] <Bashing-om> omega_doom: Sorry - but I know nothing of "/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf" :( no idea what role that helper file plays.
[07:36] <omega_doom> Bashing-om: maybe it somehow connected to dhclient- "/sbin/dhclient -d -q -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf"
[07:38] <omega_doom> Bashing-om: I use dhclient for dhcp.
[07:40] <Bashing-om> omega_doom: Just that I have never encounted the helper file - it is 2:39 AM here and I am to burned out to fine and follow the path.
[07:40] <Bashing-om> find*
[07:50] <jamie> hello
[07:50] <omega_doom> Btw, should networking.service be present? Just found this - https://itectec.com/superuser/linux-ubuntu-server-fail-to-restart-networking-service-unit-network-service-not-found/
[07:53] <Bashing-om> omega_doom: my Default NM status output: https://termbin.com/mb9h .
[07:57] <omega_doom> Bashing-om: Maybe you use internal Networkmanager dhcp but it doesn't not relate to what i want to achive. I want to reset network settings to be the same as after boot.
[08:10] <omega_doom> Looks like i have found the solution to reset network or some settings. I did "nmcli networking off", "nmcli networking on" and it helped.
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> !yay | omega_doom
[08:13] <omega_doom> Yeah, now i want to understand what this command does to the network. :-)
[08:13] <Ginalo> Hi. What font do you guys use for Cambria Math?
[08:44] <linocisco> i still can't print to LBP3050 via USB

[10:05] <pah_> hi, how to check a snap package version before installing?
[10:11] <lotuspsychje> pa: snap info snapname
[10:11] <pa> thanks!
[10:12] <pa> so i did:
[10:13] <pa> $ sudo snap install spectacle --channel=latest/candidate
[10:13] <pa> spectacle (candidate) 21.08.0 from KDE✓ installed
[10:13] <pa> then: $ spectacle

[10:13] <pa> what am i doing wrong?
[10:14] <lotuspsychje> pa: did you try launching the regular icon?
[10:14] <pa> lotuspsychje: i tried with the shortcut, yes, and it did not pop up
[10:15] <pa> now i refreshed with latest/stable and i get the same error
[10:16] <lotuspsychje> pa: here's the contact page if you like; contact:   https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=neon&component=Snaps
[10:16] <pa> thanks!

[11:47] <weedmic> i want to connect to a device via the serial port.  i see in dmesg this line... [ 2874.224735] cdc_acm 1-3.1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device - but when i do minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 - it says it is offline.  i know it is online b/c i am connected via ssh (also).  how do i ensure i have the right serial port?
[13:00] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:11] <weedmic> got it to connect - and it was ttyACM0 - used minicom - very happy - unsure why it worked this time
[14:28] <Kolusion> Does anyone know how to make the complicated firewall 'ufw' allow for both in and out for the smtp service of a particular IP address? I tried the following, but it didn't work: ufw allow stmp everywhere on <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:37] <arhue> Kolusion I think out should work by default. For in you will have to allow the port through, yes. Have you tried using just iptables?
[14:38] <arhue> Also make sure you aren't behind a NAT
[14:38] <Kolusion> arhue: You might have a point about out working for default. I will check if I can access a website now with the firewall enable.
[14:39] <arhue> Kolusion Are you trying this on a VPS or at home? Make sure the interface has a public ID/it works when firewall is off
[14:40] <arhue> *public IP
[14:41] <Kolusion> I am trying it inside a virtual machine. I have introduced a hostile network device into my home network so I am clamping down on everything.
[14:41] <Kolusion> The virtual machines bridges to the host NIC.
[14:41] <Kolusion> And connects to the router, which is the hostile device.
[14:44] <Kolusion> ufw does allow outwards by default. Thanks for that, you have saved me a lot of time.
[14:45] <Kolusion> I would have wrote up allow rules for services like a nooB lol
[14:45] <Kolusion> *allow outwards
[14:52] <Kolusion> Thanks all, bye
[15:03] <aurolac> anyone get MangoHud working properly on ubuntu 21.10?
[15:04] <cart_man> Is there a way I can run Ubuntu off a memory stick as IF its completely installed and not just a Live USB Stick that install Ubuntu?
[15:04] <aurolac> cart_man you mean like persistant drive?
[15:04] <cart_man> aurolac: Yes
[15:05] <aurolac> try this :
[15:05] <aurolac> https://tinyurl.com/byhaktts
[15:06] <TJ-> cart_man: simply install to the USB device with appropriate boot-loader alternatives to cope with both BIOS and UEFI boot modes
[15:08] <cart_man> TJ-: aurolac I see there are some issues with installing drivers etc actually. DOing it that way
[15:09] <cart_man> The problem is I actually wanted to test my machine with a installed version of UBuntu since my GTX2060 doesnt want to do multiple screen with the official NVidia drivers on Ubu 18
[15:09] <cart_man> So now I want to check if Ubu 20 does the trick ... with the drivers installed on Wayland
[15:12] <j0kker> hello, im new to ubuntu, i have a question about nvidia drivers for the os, how do i know wich one to pick from the additinal software tab ? ty in advance
[15:12] <onelegend> j0kker: pick the official ones
[15:12] <onelegend> you can also send the screenshot of the options if you want
[15:13] <j0kker> i picked the proprietary(tested) one, im courently on my main pc wich is still runing windows so i cant send a screenshoot, but i can do that later
[15:32] <arhue> j0kker That should be fine and should work
[15:36] <j0kker> ty :D will try it out :D
[15:48] <axsuul> Other than ufw (which is inactive) and iptables, is there another reason that a port could be blocked?
[15:48] <axsuul> And I can verify my host does not have a firewall
[15:51] <arhue> axsuul Are you giving it a public IP or is it behind a NAT?
[15:51] <axsuul> It has a public IP (hope I answered that correctly)
[15:53] <axsuul> Furthermore, running `netstat -tuplen | grep 30820` on the server returns:
[15:53] <axsuul> `udp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:30820           <IP_ADDRESS>:*                           0<PHONE_NUMBER> 770/k3s server` which is what should be listening, not sure if this helps
[15:54] <tomreyn> how are you testing whether it is open?
[15:54] <tomreyn> (it's udp, it won't be "open" in the tcp sense)
[15:55] <axsuul> Ah just using a port checking tool online, hah: https://portchecker.co
[15:55] <axsuul> How would you recommend checking for udp?
[15:56] <tomreyn> you need to know how to make the server respond something, and connect to it using udp
[15:56] <tomreyn> netcat could do that
[16:00] <axsuul> Thanks will look into that
[16:30] <computerjoe314> Looking for some help updating my BIOS of my HP Pavilion - 14-ce3065st. All they give is a Windows executable, FreeDos doesn't like it, and I don't see any option within the uefi settings to choose a bios file. What other options are there besides downloading windows onto a usb drive?
[16:32] <zero> can anyone help me? i just updated to 20.04 and i think i broke some packages
[16:33] <zero> i might have removed them unintentionally and can't install them back with apt
[16:33] <tomreyn> computerjoe314: you found a step by step guide on this yesterday, didn't you? did you try it?
[16:34] <computerjoe314> Yes, that says there is an option in my BIOS to choose a file. Don't see that option.
[16:34] <ravage> computerjoe314: Actually, you only need a Windows computer to execute the downloadable BIOS firmware file (e.g. sp76865.exe) to create the BIOS recovery USB flash drive. Then you can power up your Stream notebook with the USB inserted while holding down the Windows key and B key and the HP BIOS update utility will run
[16:34] <tomreyn> zero: what makes you think that you broke some packages? was there some error reported? does something not work as expected?
[16:35] <zero> tomreyn: this is what i'm struggling with now: "Package php7.2-mysql is not available, but is referred to by another package.  This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"
[16:35] <ravage> computerjoe314: i think you only need the 086AA.bin from the .exe you downloaded on the USB drive
[16:35] <ravage> computerjoe314: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02693833
[16:36] <computerjoe314> I
[16:36] <zero> tomreyn: apt search php7.2-mysql gives me "php7.2-mysql/now 7.2.34-26+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 amd64 [residual-config]"
[16:36] <computerjoe314> 'll take a loot. Thanks
[16:38] <tomreyn> zero you apparently were using the 3rd party php repository from sury.org
[16:38] <zero> oh iguess i was. i don't remember. why did it break though?
[16:39] <tomreyn> zero: ubuntu upgrade paths are tested with ubuntu packages only, when you have third party packages, they may fail, and often do.
[16:40] <tomreyn> zero: that's one of the reasons third party packages are unsupported
[16:40] <zero> oh i see
[16:41] <tomreyn> zero: the php packages from sury use a different configuration mechanism than ubuntu's, to make multiple php versions co-installable. it also makes the sury and ubuntu php packages incompatible to one another
[16:42] <tomreyn> zero: you have the leftover php configuration from sury's packages in /etc - i suggest you back it up (unless you - hopefully, before a release upgrade - already did) and then just purge the sury php packages, and install the ubuntu ones (or reinstall the sury ones if you want to use those on 20.04 again)
[16:44] <zero> yup
[16:47] <computerjoe314> zero: Could you please clarify what you meant about the bin file? I put it on the flash drive and the recovery tool doesn't like that. Is there any other way to do with without windows?
[16:50] <ravage> you can extract the .exe with 7z
[16:51] <tomreyn> computerjoe314: it may matter how you put it on the flash drive. did you use the approach discussed at https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Archive-Read-Only/How-to-update-BIOS-on-Linux/m-p/5441775/highlight/true#M1205498 ?
[16:52] <computerjoe314> Did that first. Was a bit confused about having no BIOSUpdate folder, so I just put everything there.
[16:52] <computerjoe314> That didn't work
[16:54] <tomreyn> you need an mbr or gpt partitioned usb connected storage, a fat32 formatted partition, and on there, this directory structure: Hewlett-Packard/BIOS/New/ - thats the directory you place the bin file in
[16:54] <tomreyn> create these directories if they don't exist
[17:00] <computerjoe314> https://pastebin.com/jBYp8XmJ  This is what the Flash Drive looks like. When I pulled up the recovery tool it said no bios recovery found.
[17:02] <tomreyn> and    findmnt /media/pinchas/USB   says?
[17:03] <computerjoe314> TARGET             SOURCE    FSTYPE OPTIONS
[17:03] <computerjoe314> sorry let me pastebin
[17:03] <computerjoe314> https://pastebin.com/137cb3zc
[17:04] <tomreyn> now   lsblk /dev/sda
[17:05] <computerjoe314> https://pastebin.com/JhMHrJBV
[17:05] <tomreyn> sorry, fdisk -l /dev/sda
[17:10] <computerjoe314> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/kGrYk6vP8J/
[17:14] <tomreyn> computerjoe314: on a HP laptop i use, which also uses an InsydeH2O UEFI "BIOS", and is configured to boot ubuntu 20.04 in uefi mode from a gpt partitioned nvme, i have created /boot/efi/EFI/HP/DEVFW/ and placed the firmware .bin file there (so /EFI/HP/DEVFW/ on the efi system partition on the nvme). when i reboot the system, press F9 for the boot menu or directly F10 for the bios setup, i can navigate to a bios update option. when i select this,
[17:14] <tomreyn> it immediately sstarts the bios update from this file.
[17:14] <tomreyn> that's a different path than this forum post says, though.
[17:14] <computerjoe314> I can try it
[17:15] <computerjoe314> Rename the file to firmware.bin or retain the original name?
[17:15] <tomreyn> you could also try a gpt on the usb stick, maybe i was wrong saying that mbr would also work
[17:15] <tomreyn> in my caseit must be called firmware.bin
[17:15] <computerjoe314> I'll try that first, if not that then I'll try with gpt
[17:15] <computerjoe314> Thank you
[17:16] <tomreyn> good luck
[17:18] <tomreyn> https://termbin.com/1ohhz is a file i placed on my EFI SP to remind me how it needs to be done.
[17:21] <tomreyn> if none of this helps and you (understandably) really want to prevent installing windows on this or another computer to prepare a properly formatted usb stick, you could also try your luck with this incomplete writeup i started: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FimwareUpgrade/Insyde
[17:21] <tomreyn> but this is a way to brick your system, worst case. so better don't
[17:27] <computerjoe314> Neither worked. I'm giving up and downloading windows to a usb. :-(
[17:34] <tomreyn> :-/ dang
[17:47] <[itchyjunk]> Hi, my apt on my vps is broken and not sure how to fix it. https://bpa.st/ZKKQ
[17:47] <[itchyjunk]> I wanted to install python-pip3 but it complained about 404 errors and suggest update but `apt get update` also has issues
[17:47] <[itchyjunk]> ubuntu 20.04
[17:48] <ravage> your vps is riscv64?
[17:49] <[itchyjunk]> oh ohh, no it shouldn't be
[17:49] <[itchyjunk]> it's oracle ARM free tier
[17:50] <[itchyjunk]> i was trying to install riscv64 gcc some times ago though.. ;_; what did i break?
[17:50] <ravage> your sources.list file
[17:50] <[itchyjunk]> Is there an easy fix?
[17:51] <tomreyn> oracle free tier is either amd64 or arm, but i forgot which arm
[17:51] <ravage> i guess you mean arm64
[17:51] <[itchyjunk]> yes i picked the arm one, w/e it was :(
[17:51] <tomreyn> yes, most likely, ravage
[17:51] <[itchyjunk]> i have no idea what i even did to break apt..
[17:51] <ravage> i would try to replace riscv64 with arm64
[17:52] <ravage> and just try again
[17:52] <tomreyn> Ampere A1 says https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/
[17:55] <[itchyjunk]> hmm, what am i googling for? i want to replace apt's search folder from riscv to arm from what i understand. trying to find a tutorial that tells me how
[17:55] <ravage> you open a text editor and replace the word riscv64 with arm64
[17:55] <ravage> in /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:56] <ravage> or you can use "sed -i 's/riscv64/amd64/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:56] <ravage> urgs
[17:56] <ravage> smae mistake
[17:56] <ravage> sed -i 's/riscv64/arm64/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:56] <ravage> i just type amd64 too often
[17:57] <tomreyn> ravage: to increase confusion, they offer both as of their free tier, that's why i wrote "amd64 or [some] arm"
[17:58] <ravage> applying for one of them now. sounds interesting. would like to know what oracle offers for free
[17:58] <[itchyjunk]> ran the command, no error. rand `sudo apt update` , still has issues : https://bpa.st/G3VA
[17:59] <ravage> are there files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?
[17:59] <[itchyjunk]> its a few different to chose from. Arm was least available because everyone is grabbing. it starts as a trial but when trial ends, you just get all the free tiers
[17:59] <[itchyjunk]> ls shows nothing
[18:00] <ravage> cat /etc/apt/sources.list | nc termbin.com 9999
[18:00] <[itchyjunk]> https://termbin.com/sczi
[18:01] <ravage> ok. looks like you switched the system arch somehow
[18:01] <[itchyjunk]> @_@
[18:02] <ravage> what does "edpkg --print-architecture" show?
[18:02] <ravage> dpkg --print-architecture
[18:02] <[itchyjunk]> amd64
[18:03] <ravage> that is even more strange
[18:03] <tomreyn> amd64 or arm64?
[18:03] <[itchyjunk]> amd64
[18:03] <tomreyn> weird
[18:03] <tomreyn> lscpu
[18:04] <tomreyn> maybe you're actually on the free amd64 tier
[18:04] <ravage> lscpu | grep Architecture
[18:04] <ravage> should be enough
[18:04] <[itchyjunk]> lscpu https://bpa.st/TK2A
[18:05] <ravage> ok thats no ARM vps :)
[18:05] <[itchyjunk]> ;_; i got bamboozeled
[18:05] <[itchyjunk]> maybe when my trial ended they switched me over ? if that's possible
[18:05] <ravage> dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
[18:06] <[itchyjunk]> riscv64
[18:06] <ravage> apt-get purge ".*:riscv64"
[18:06] <tomreyn> you don't exactly know what you're doing, right :)
[18:06] <ravage> dpkg --remove-architecture riscv64
[18:07] <[itchyjunk]> right, i barely know what i am doing
[18:07] <[itchyjunk]> i've used ubuntu locally but generally by just clicking gui stuff
[18:08] <tomreyn> it's fine, sorry there. but you must have followed some tutorial which is not suitable for the computer you're working with.
[18:08] <[itchyjunk]> but how did i manage to break all this without knowing what i am doing?
[18:08] <[itchyjunk]> i was installing qemu to run a riscv "hello world" asm code
[18:08] <[itchyjunk]> i somehow broke apt while doing that
[18:10] <tomreyn> hmm that might actuall ymake sense the, to add riscv as a foreign architecture, so you can build a riscv guest system. but this is not something i'd recommend as a first linux command line training
[18:11] <tomreyn> also further virtualization may not be possible on this VM you're working on. and riscv would be very slow.
[18:12] <[itchyjunk]> ah, that makes sense
[18:13] <tomreyn> well, you can probably just reinstall the system with the click of a button, so it should be a safe testing environment.
[18:14] <[itchyjunk]> right, the only think of value on it is the pissnet ircd that's running
[18:14] <[itchyjunk]> rest is all experiments. i only realized things are broken because i was trying to install pip3 so i can install pytorch
[18:15] <tomreyn> if you have something running there that you need to keep running, then i'd recommend against cross architectural experiments.
[18:16] <[itchyjunk]> lesson learned :s i thought eqmu was safe because all the things would be running in that emulator and not impact anything else
[18:16] <[itchyjunk]> everything works now, btw!
[18:16] <tomreyn> that's usually correct, once it is up and running.
[18:18] <ravage> looks like the oracle cloud is full :P
[18:19] <[itchyjunk]> i think when i was trying to install and run the riscv-gcc thing that compiled code for riscv, that is when all tis happened
[18:19] <[itchyjunk]> oh there is no signup available? crazy, i got mine just a few months ago
[18:19] <ravage> i can sign up. but cant create a VM
[18:21] <[itchyjunk]> ah insteresting. maybe the region you picked? i had to switch a bit to find places with arm.. but apparently i got amd somehow
[18:22] <ravage> now it worked
[18:22] <[itchyjunk]> this might be a dumb question but a vps wouldn't have gpu available right? I'd just be installing pytorch for CPU?
[18:23] <ravage> the free tiers do not offer GPUs for sure
[18:23] <ravage> maybe you can buy a bare metal server. but i dont know what oracle offers
[18:24] <[itchyjunk]> i'll just stick to the free stuff :P
[18:33] <the_actor> Hi there. I am experiencing strange path issues with Ubuntu 20.04 that I have not in the past. I am trying to figure out if it is something I am doing or if it is some bug or error in bash or the recent Ubuntu 20.04 config.
[18:34] <the_actor> Anybody else experiencing strange path issues where absolute paths must be specified? I was told in ancient Unix there were some unique varibles that were defiend prior to the Shabang statement to address this. Any thoughts?
[18:36] <tomreyn> the_actor: it'll be best to come up with a concrete example of what you think is strange.
[18:38] <the_actor> tomreyn: For instance if my script is doing : grep -A 1 -B 50 'since 2.6.0' /tmp/tmpwp/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php >> /tmp/tmpwp/wordpress/wp-config.php Unless I specifically specify the path, the script goes into a black hole.
[18:39] <the_actor> tomreyn: I have even tried to put in a statement like pwd; read pause to see whats is going on. This stuff was not happening before.
[18:40] <ravage> you can assume th
[18:40] <ravage> at the current LTS is not broken in that way
[18:41] <the_actor> tomreyn: It could be something stupid I am missing, I'm still scratching my head.
[18:42] <the_actor> ravage: I know I am just trying to figure out why all my scripts broke. I have even spun up multiple vms to test. I should test with another distro perhaps?
[18:42] <ravage> you should test with the distro you want to use
[18:43] <the_actor> ravage: Any ideas where I should be looking for the problem? I have been working on it for 3 days.
[18:44] <tomreyn> the_actor: in scripts, it can make sense to specifically indicate the shell, or environment, you mean to work in, using the hashbang
[18:44] <tomreyn> if this is a crontab, note they don't usually run in a full bash shell
[18:46] <the_actor> tomreyn: I even changed #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. No it is not cron. A lot of this commands were working in 18 but required sudo in 20.04. I am trying to figure out if this is on my part or something in the OS or config changed in 20.04... Its probably my mistake somwhere.
[18:53] <tomreyn> the_actor: how was this ubuntu 20.04 system installed? if you're using a pre-installed image, which hosting provider?
[18:55] <tomreyn> and what is the PATH variable set to? and di you modify it?
[18:55] <tomreyn> *did you
[18:56] <the_actor> tomreyn: No, I have a ProxMox VE server here and I dropped the cd iso for 20.04 server and did a standard install with the addition of sshd.
[18:57] <the_actor> tomreyn: No I did not modify it. I set the path to the files that need to be worked on with the cd command. The Bash script does not seem to be following the path changes...
[18:58] <tomreyn> so you modified PATH. does it work when you don't?
[18:59] <tomreyn> in fact you're first saying that you did not modify PATH, then you say you did. i can't follow.
[18:59] <oerheks> ' Bash script does not seem to be following the path changes...' .. why would it?
[18:59] <the_actor> tomreyn: I am not sure. The script is in the user's home dir, so in order to work on the target files it needs to cd.
[19:00] <the_actor> tomreyn: Forgive me for being unclear. I have not set a modification to the system path. I pnly change path as required with the cd command in the script as needed.
[19:02] <the_actor> oerheks: So why did in in previous versions? Am I using bash in a way not intended?
[19:02] <MaoOpc> hi there
[19:02] <the_actor> oerheks: I am confused because it used to work like this.
[19:02] <MaoOpc> How can i access to a smb share on win from ubuntu ?
[19:15] <GrayGhost> olsen
[19:15] <GrayGhost> sorry wrong screen
[19:16] <tomreyn> the_actor: can you share the output of this, running on the ubuntu system?   nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version_signature,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL; echo Path: $PATH)
