[04:40] <Guest32> Hi
[04:42] <Guest32> hi
[04:42] <Guest32> hi
[04:45] <Bashing-om> Guest32: Hello - you have an ubuntu support question ?
[04:45] <Guest32> Yes with Lubuntu
[04:45] <Guest32> Whats the best way to update?
[04:45] <Guest32> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[04:46] <Bashing-om> Guest32: That is I admit my preference :D
[04:46] <Guest32> nice
[04:46] <Guest32> Does ubuntu have a dedicated sercurity team
[04:47] <Bashing-om> hueYhough apt-get is depreciated in favor of ' apt update .... ' .
[04:47] <Bashing-om> Guest32: Yeah, See: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/ .
[04:48] <Guest32> so whats the ful command to update now?
[04:48] <Guest32> full
[04:48] <Bashing-om> Guest32: Termianlly ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' .
[04:48] <oerheks> your 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' should work fine too
[04:49] <Guest32> sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade ?
[04:49] <oerheks> and perhaps apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:49] <oerheks> !distupgrade
[04:49] <Guest32> fully updates =)
[05:18] <alkisg> apt upgrade doesn't fully update the system, prefer apt full-upgrade
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> !uptodate
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> ^
[05:34] <blahboybaz> Does the 20.04 release of ubuntu require that garbage collection be configured for ssd drives (the way it used to be needed with oder releases)?
[05:34] <blahboybaz> oder\older
[05:50] <alkisg> Heya lotuspsychje, that factoid isn't appropriate, it should recommend full-upgrade instead, otherwise important updates may not be applied
[05:52] <alkisg> blahboybaz, you mean trim? It's automatically ran from cron afaik, no need to worry about it

[06:37] <Guest25> Hello. I have a set of ~600 directories named dir.1, dir.2, dir.3 etc.... and I want to merge them into one directory so that I can see all the files without having to jump between all of them. How do I achieve that?
[06:46] <oerheks> guest cp with the -R recursive option
[06:47] <oerheks> https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/cp.1.html
[06:48] <Guest25> oerheks: yes I figured I'd go with "cp -rl dir.*/* merged" but I'm getting an error: bash: /usr/bin/cp: Argument list too long
[06:49] <EriC^^> Guest25: you can use find -exec
[06:50] <Guest25> EriC^^: could you elaborate please? not very familiar with it
[06:52] <EriC^^> Guest25: find -type d -maxdepth 1 -name 'dir.*' | while IFS='' read -r dir; do rsync ${dir}/ merged"; done
[06:55] <EriC^^> sorry, find -type d -maxdepth 1 -name 'dir.*' | while IFS='' read -r dir; do rsync "${dir}"/ merged; done
[06:55] <Guest25> Ahh yes I was stuck with ">"
[06:58] <Guest25> I got a lot of "skipping directory ." and no files were copied
[06:59] <Guest25> EriC^^: "find: warning: you have specified the global option -maxdepth after the argument -type, but global options are not positional, i.e., -maxdepth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it.  Please specify global options before other arguments."
[07:00] <EriC^^> oh ok
[07:00] <EriC^^> find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'dir.*' | while IFS='' read -r dir; do rsync "${dir}"/ merged; done
[07:04] <Guest25> EriC^^: I keep getting "skipping directory ."
[07:05] <EriC^^> Guest25: what happens if you add echo to see what it's doing
[07:05] <EriC^^> find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'dir.*' | while IFS='' read -r dir; do echo rsync "${dir}"/ merged; done
[07:06] <alkisg> mv dir*/* merged/
[07:07] <Guest25> EriC^^: I get a bunch of reassuring lines "rsync ./dir.*/ merged"
[07:08] <EriC^^> Guest25: rsync ./dir.1/ merged etc? or literal dir.* ?
[07:08] <Guest25> EriC^^: actually now that I see that, would it matter that the directories are not in ~/ but in ~/Documents ?
[07:09] <Guest25> I mean, before running the commands I did cd so..
[07:09] <EriC^^> nah it's happening here as well, wonder why
[07:11] <Guest25> and rsync dir* etc didnt work
[07:12] <alkisg> guest25, try: echo mv dir*/* merged
[07:12] <alkisg> No for loop required, if I understood you correctly
[07:12] <Guest25> alkisg: I cant run mv because I get this error: bash: /usr/bin/mv: Argument list too long
[07:12] <alkisg> Ok
[07:12] <Guest25> I have >500 folders
[07:12] <EriC^^> Guest25: this works here, find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'dir.*' | while IFS='' read -r dir; do rsync -a "${dir}"/ merged; done
[07:13] <alkisg> Do you want to copy/rsync the files, or move them?
[07:14] <Guest25> EriC^^: the directories are actually called "saved_dir.*" What exactly do I need to change in your command
[07:14] <EriC^^> Guest25: find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'saved_dir.*' | while IFS='' read -r dir; do rsync -a "${dir}"/ merged; done
[07:14] <Guest25> alkisg: doesn't matter as long as I'm able to see the files in the same folder
[07:15] <alkisg> Does this bypass the argument list limit? for f in dir*/*; do echo mv "$f" merged/; done
[07:16] <ducasse> i'd use cp and delete when done
[07:17] <Guest25> ducasse: already tried, too many arguments -- EriC^^: your command seems to be working
[07:17] <ducasse> in case it goes fubar
[07:19] <Guest25> All solved with Eric's command -- cheers everyone, thanks for the help
[07:19] <alkisg> 👍
[07:19] <ducasse> !cookie | EriC^^
[07:20] <EriC^^> no problem Guest25
[08:25] <shadow_master_> hi
[08:26] <toddc> shadow_master_: welcome
[08:27] <shadow_master_> can anyone help me?
[08:29] <toddc> shadow_master_:  yes but we all have different skills so post your question and some that has a answer will reply
[08:36] <shadow_master_> since  i did update my ubuntu from 20.04 to 21.10, i have sliced flashing triangles on my screen, even  after i installed 20.04 again ,it doesn't fix
[08:37] <Mekaneck> probably graphics card related
[08:37] <Mekaneck> nVidia or AMD in it?
[08:38] <shadow_master_> but  i don't have that triangles on windows, i didn't do anything on ubuntu, i just recently installed ubuntu
[08:39] <shadow_master_> it is intergrated intel
[08:40] <Mekaneck> me too on both machines but i don't have that issue
[08:53] <sentiment> hello
[08:54] <sentiment> my pc keeps shutting down in a random fashion and the message I get is :thermal thermal_zone0: acpitz: critical temperature reached, shutting down
[08:55] <sentiment> a couple of points:
[08:55] <sentiment> the components are not overheating. I have attached sensors to the heatsinks and I have re-applied heat paste to the CPU heatsink as well. No discrete GPU either, just integrated into the north bridge.
[08:56] <sentiment> The message does not mention the temp, which is weird to me.
[08:56] <sentiment> the sensors command lists only two items, one is the CPU which is always cool enough and the other is a constant 30c value.
[08:58] <toddc> sentiment: run sudo sensors-detect to look for more sensors https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-check-cpu-temperature-on-ubuntu-linux/
[09:01] <sentiment> toddc: I have. Still two sensors.
[09:01] <sentiment> and that's not my question.
[09:04] <sentiment> I'm inclined to disable the automatic shutdown because it seems like a software bug.
[09:07] <tomreyn> shadow_master_: if you're back on 20.04, see whether the oem kernel fixes it.
[09:07] <TJ-> sentiment: k
[09:08] <TJ-> sentiment: that ACPI thermal zone should show up under /sys/class/thermal/ -- be good to check what values its nodes show
[09:09] <sentiment> yeah, I've checked that as well, no difference.
[09:09] <sentiment> I may post this question on the Ubuntu forum.
[09:09] <TJ-> sentiment: what nodes/values does it report? it looks likely one of them is generating spurious values
[09:10] <sentiment> thermal_zone0
[09:11] <TJ-> sentiment: see "man thermal-conf.xml" and "man thermald"
[09:12] <sentiment> oh os I neeoh so i need to use custom config?
[09:12] <sentiment> I've glanced over that file but I thought it was unneeded...
[09:13] <sentiment> anyways thanks
[09:24] <Thaurwylth> Alkisg, you here?
[09:26] <shadow_master_> tomreyn : im a beginner , can you tell me exactly what should i do ?
[09:26] <alkisg> Thaurwylth, yup although from phone
[09:29] <tomreyn> shadow_master_: sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-oem && sudo apt purge linux-generic-hwe-*
[09:29] <TJ-> shadow_master_: do you see those triangles on the greeter screen, before logging in the user?
[09:30] <tomreyn> shadow_master_: and reboot afterwards. but check with TJ- first, he's got more of a clue than i do.
[09:31] <TJ-> tomreyn: as it appears to hit 2 different installs I'm wondering if common $USER configs have been carried over - else i t makes no sense if MS Windows is fine
[09:32] <TJ-> tomreyn: although... there's another explanation. original 20.04 had the pre-HWE kernel. 21.04 has newer kernel with problem. Reinstall fo 20.04 comes with newer HWE kernel (same version as 21.04)
[09:32] <TJ-> shadow_master_: do you have a record of what kernel version was in use for the original 20.04?
[09:34] <Thaurwylth> Alkisg, do you have something to say about my journalctl output?
[09:36] <tomreyn> TJ-: that's a good theory there.
[09:36] <shadow_master_> TJ: your first question: no , i just see it when i run any program other than system programs
[09:36] <alkisg> Thaurwylth, can you repaste it? I can't scroll up that much
[09:37] <alkisg> shadow_master_, create a new user and login there, to see if its a system issue or a user settings issue
[09:37] <Thaurwylth> https://pastebin.com/w6sG5Z16
[09:40] <TJ-> shadow_master_: OK, as alkisg  suggests, try a new user account - it sounds like some $USER config created whilst running 21.04 is affecting 20.04 too
[09:40] <shadow_master_> TJ: second: yes, you can see all information in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1930279
[09:43] <alkisg> Thaurwylth, do you have many desktop environments installed, or is that plain kubuntu?
[09:43] <alkisg> This message might be an issue: No agents were available for this request
[09:43] <Thaurwylth> U. Studio, which is today Plasma/KDE based. But that's the only one.
[09:46] <Thaurwylth> Well, yeah, that same line also has the 'no secrets' message. And 'Couldn'ty get secrets' is also the human readable error message that appears as a system prompt on the graphical interface.
[09:46] <alkisg> I would test with a livecd (ubuntu mate is a good choice, it has vanilla network-manager and nm-applet), to make sure its an installation misconfiguration issue
[09:48] <Thaurwylth> I only have Studio 21.04 easily available, everything else is going to take some time.
[09:48] <Thaurwylth> Anyways, it is important to note that nothing on the system has changed since May, apart from a probable sudo apt full-upgrade resulting in a slightly newer Ubuntu kernel.
[09:49] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: is kwallet installed?
[09:49] <alkisg> Try to google about nmcli, it allows connecting to wifi while providing the password in the command line
[09:50] <alkisg> Yeh kwallet or some similar agent missing sounds probable
[09:50] <TJ-> !info kwalletmanager | Thaurwylth
[09:51] <TJ-> !info plasma-nm | Thaurwylth
[09:52] <Thaurwylth> kwalletmanager/hirsute,now 4:20.12.3-0ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
[09:53] <Thaurwylth> I have actually never entered password into KWallet and I have wondered what it does. Is it supposed to be in use?
[09:53] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: try starting the manager GUI ... that may give you a clue. My guess is you've changed passwords and it it has become desynced from the wallet, so the wallet isn't unlocking
[09:54] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: generally the wallet password is set when the user first sets their Linux user account password
[09:54] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: sometimes, after changing the user password, they don't get synced and the wallet remains locked
[09:54] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: this may not be your issue but it is a common thing
[09:55] <Thaurwylth> Error Code 9 - possibly wrong password [Translation.]
[09:55] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: have you altered your user login password since the account was created?
[09:55] <Thaurwylth> Yes.
[09:56] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: do you recall what tool you used? I know when done from the shell with 'passwd' wallet/secrets libraries don't usually get updated
[09:56] <Thaurwylth> Yes, passwd.
[09:56] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: to access the manager you'll need to be able to recall, and enter, the original password
[09:57] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: ** enter into the wallet manager's password prompt
[09:57] <Thaurwylth> Argh! Luckily I remember it, but this is seriously annoying. Can't be helped, I guess.
[09:57] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: yes, it is not an obvious side-effect of 'convenience' of the passwords being silently synced originally, and the user not being warned
[10:00] <Thaurwylth> Now my wireless connection works. Thank you.
[10:01] <Thaurwylth> A side note: the password it accepted was not the original one but the one I had changed to in the middle.
[10:01] <Thaurwylth> I mean I have had two passwords since the creation of the system.
[10:03] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: I'd guess your 1st password change was done using the GUI tooling, which generally 'knows' about the linkage to the wallet
[10:04] <TJ-> whereas 'passwd' is the low-level system tool with no knowledge of desktop environments and GUIs
[10:04] <Thaurwylth> I am 95 % sure I did both of them with passwd.
[10:04] <TJ-> Thaurwylth: ahh well, at least it is fixed now
[10:04] <TJ-> (until next time!)
[10:05] <Thaurwylth> Yay for getting it fixed!
[10:05] <shadow_master> tomreyn: it  dosen't fix
[10:05] <shadow_master> ed
[10:07] <shadow_master> alkisq: i tried this as well but i still have this problem
[10:08] <shadow_master> i have that triangles even on my xfce desktop that i installed on my ubuntu
[10:09] <alkisg> What's the oldest kernel that you have? ls /boot | nc termbin.com 9999
[10:09] <alkisg> And if you have a live cd, test if it works ok there, and if so, mark the kernel version
[10:10] <shadow_master> 5.4.0-77
[10:11] <alkisg> That's the latest, don't you also have earlier ones?
[10:12] <alkisg> Which one are you booted with, now?
[10:12] <TJ-> !info linux-image-generic focal | shadow_master
[10:14] <tomreyn> shadow_master: cat /proc/version    tells you which kernel you're currently running
[10:16] <shadow_master> tomreyn: 5.8.0-59
[10:16] <alkisg> Try to reboot and select 5.4 in grub
[10:17] <alkisg> See if the problem happens on 5.4
[10:18] <TJ-> shadow_master: I'd recommend you update the motherboard BIOS to latest version too, that may be having an effect. https://www.asus.com/supportonly/P8H61-M/HelpDesk_BIOS/ (current 1204 latest 4801)
[10:21] <tomreyn> shadow_master: when you're done testing, you should undo the oem change then, since it did not help. remove the linux-oem* packages then and install linux-generic-hwe-20.04 again.
[10:30] <shadow_master> alkisq:  i don't think that my motherboard has any updates cuz i have my pc for 10 years  but i will check it out  for new updates
[10:32] <shadow_master> oh i did wrong :) excuse me alkisq
[10:33] <tomreyn> shadow_master:    journalctl -b | grep DMI:     tells ayou what you have
[10:34] <shadow_master> tJ:i don't think that my motherboard has any updates cuz i have my pc for 10 years  but i will check it out  for new updates
[10:35] <TJ-> shadow_master: I already checked, and told you
[10:35] <tomreyn> TJ stated "current 1204 latest 4801", so i assume he must have spotted this 1204 version on some logs / output you shared previously
[10:35] <TJ-> shadow_master: use the link I gave you
[10:36] <TJ-> tomreyn: info was in the bug report shadow_master gave earlier
[10:36] <tomreyn> TJ-: was it shadow_master's bug report, though?
[10:37] <shadow_master> TJ: ok, i ll do it
[10:37] <ilmais1n> hello
[10:38] <ilmais1n> is there any change for packages.ubuntu.com to work ever again?
[10:38] <tomreyn> shadow_master: is bug 1930279 your report?
[10:38] <tomreyn> i mean, did *you* report it?
[10:39] <shadow_master> tomreyn: i thought it is a bug cuz i didn't see that problem in any place
[10:39] <shadow_master> tomreyn: yes
[10:40] <tomreyn> ilmais1n: it's community maintained by a very busy person, has been returning 500 errors for many pages on the first request for a year or two, so i don't strictly expect it to get fixed soon,. you can use rmadison, / dak ls, though
[10:41] <ilmais1n> perhaps it should be retired altogether if there are no resources to keep it running. keeping broken stuff around looks unprofessional
[10:41] <tomreyn> shadow_master: it's certainly a bug, it's just no9t certain where exactly. you should definitely do the bios upgrade with such an old version.
[10:42] <tomreyn> ilmais1n: well, it still has its uses. what does not work for you?
[10:46] <tomreyn> ilmais1n: BIOS version 4702 changelog states  "2.Fixed onboard & add-on VGA card compatibility issue."
[11:25] <shadow_master> alkisq: i can't believe it , it has finally fixed , i did boot ubuntu on 5.4 and it fixed but it is still a bug for 5.8. thank you so much alkisq
[11:26] <Thaurwylth> It's a g.
[11:27] <shadow_master> and thank you too tomreyn and TJ
[11:30] <tudor_> hi, i need help to describe my problem so i can search for bugs. When I use the bluetooth or airplane mode keys on my thinkpad t470, fn-f10 and fn-f8, these don't switch on and off, only off. using rfkill manually works as expected. apparently these keys are not handled by the os directly, at least xev does not shows any keypress, so I don't know where to look for logs.
[11:31] <tudor_> ubuntu 21.04
[11:35] <Thaurwylth> Is this related to the reported issue of the keyboard sending, uh, somethingsomething message code above 255?
[11:36] <Thaurwylth> I heard about this yesterday, here on this channel: https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~klada/?site=projects&id=logitechkbd
[11:36] <tudor_> Thaurwylth: i doubt it, it's more like reacting to the rfkill state coming from bios/HW, but let me check. after all my problem is that I don't know how this called :)
[11:48] <tudor_> not even evtest shows any keyboard activity when i press fn-f10, but bluetooth gets disabled. And gets disabled again and again, without any enabling.
[11:49] <OnkelTem> Hi folks. I've get a VPS with fresh Ubuntu 20.04 and I cannot start docker there and it fails
[11:49] <OnkelTem> The reason is:
[11:50] <OnkelTem> Running iptables --wait -t nat -L -n failed with message: `iptables v1.8.4 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
[11:50] <OnkelTem> So Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have nat table or, actually, appropriate module not loaded? what?
[11:51] <OnkelTem> I've got*
[13:40] <goddard> how can you turn ubuntu desktop into ubuntu server?
[13:40] <goddard> or remove the desktop and login screen?
[13:40] <Mekaneck> goddard: better to install the server edition instead of going through all the hassle
[13:41] <Mekaneck> faster too
[13:41] <goddard> ubuntu server wouldn't boot
[13:41] <goddard> but ubuntu desktop did just fine
[13:42] <Mekaneck> weird that ubuntu server won't boot
[13:42] <goddard> yeah so just easier to uninstall the desktop
[13:42] <goddard> i did it before
[13:43] <goddard> but that was with taskel
[13:43] <goddard> taskel isn't in the repos when i searched
[13:43] <Mekaneck> goddard: maybe google it and if you did it before you'd know how to do it
[13:43] <goddard> i think the way i did it before is unavailable now
[13:44] <Mekaneck> which version are you using?
[13:45] <goddard> 21.04
[13:46] <goddard> This disables the gui right?
[13:46] <goddard> sudo systemctl set-default multi-user
[13:48] <Mekaneck> that i don't know, sorry
[13:49] <goddard> yeah it works
[13:49] <Mekaneck> goddard: by the way, isn't it called tasksel? Not taskel
[13:49] <goddard> although i would expect it to show a login prompt like if you pressed ctrl + alt + F3 or something
[13:49] <goddard> or
[13:49] <goddard> oh
[13:50] <goddard> thanks
[13:50] <Mekaneck> if you want to remove the desktop i guess this is the way to go: sudo apt purge ubuntu-desktop -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt autoclean.
[13:51] <Mekaneck> according to what i found on the web so far
[13:51] <goddard> cool thanks
[13:51] <goddard> tasksel is so nice
[13:51] <goddard> it lists like everything
[13:52] <Mekaneck> you're welcome
[13:54] <goddard> now i gotta learn how to launch a shell script on boot that i can also have ran as my user and view the process as if I pressed ctrl + z in the term and then fg
[13:54] <goddard> is @reboot in crontab -e good?
[13:56] <goddard> can you send a process to the background with a shell script so it is on when the user logins via ssh?
[13:59] <Nokaji> I have a problem/feature with ubuntu but not on windows, when using dual monitors. I have moniutors side-by-side, same resolution - with windows I can move left/right anywhere on the screen however ubuntu has a barrier for the first third (approx), so I have to effectively jump this hurdle to move from screen to screen, which i find a pain
[14:00] <alex_> do you mean your mouse gets stuck for half a second while dragging a window from a monitor to the other?
[14:01] <tomreyn> ubuntu release, graphics driver, kernel version could help there.
[14:02] <Nokaji> I mean I cannot slide from one screen to another (right to left) at the bottom of the screen, If there are say 1200px heigh, I cannit slide through the first 400px (appx)
[14:02] <Nokaji> I can in one direction but not the other
[14:02] <tomreyn> lsb-release -ds; lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | grep driver; cat /proc/version
[14:03] <Nokaji> I'll take a look tomreyn , thanks - is there a better way to describe this issue or a page about it somewhere?
[14:04] <tomreyn> Nokaji: i think your explanation is good so far, just lacking those details - which you can gather with the commands provided above
[14:04] <tomreyn> you could optionally record a video, too
[14:04] <alex_> i thought you had something like the old sticky edges
[14:05] <Nokaji> it's a permanent barrier
[14:06] <Nokaji> sorry, can;t get commands to work - says "Command 'lsb' not found, did you mean:
[14:06] <Nokaji> "
[14:07] <Nokaji> if I slide along the bottom of the left monitor, it appears about 300px high on the r.h.s. monitor

[14:49] <ioria> brokenscript, never happened to me; might be a video driver issue or webrender.force settings; i suggest to restart FF in Troubleshoot mode  and state your video card and module in use
[14:50] <brokenscript> Symbols on the page show the artefacts always;  text shows the artefacts when marked;  and the cursor in textfields shows it too
[14:50] <brokenscript> I tried the same pages with chromium ---> no problem
[14:51] <brokenscript> i used ubuntu 18.04 before on the same hardware --->  no problem
[14:51] <darsie> .
[14:58] <darsie> brokenscript: lsmod (and lspci) may be what ioria is asking for.
[14:59] <tomreyn> Nokaji: can you take a screenshot of the (gnome) settings application where you arrange the monitors?
[14:59] <jushur> brokenscript: use a fresh user profile for firefox
[15:05] <Nokaji> tomreyn; I can but you just pointed me to where the problem is, I have/had scaling on the laptop display set to 125% ... when I set it to 100% I no longer have the problem!
[15:05] <Nokaji> so both now at 100%
[15:06] <Nokaji> tomreyn; I'm happy to call that a fix and I'll rejig the display sized through other means, if required
[15:06] <darsie> wb bro (kenscript)
[15:06] <Nokaji> tomreyn; thanks for your patience and efforts and help on this one
[15:16] <tomreyn> Nokaji: hah, glad you worked it out!
[15:23] <Nokaji> tomreyn; I notice I can also adjust where that barrier is by shifting the relationship on the graphic, showing two monitors side by side, e.g. I can have that hurdle/barrier at the top, instead ... anyway, v. glad to have resolved it
[15:26] <tomreyn> Nokaji: i'm glad YOU did. ;-)
[15:31] <brokenscript> i created a new profile in firefox. did not seem to help. the artefacts are still there.  i did a refresh of firefox. did not seem to help.  lspci gives me this:  https://pastebin.com/dqujUg7z  ;  lsmod gives me this: https://pastebin.com/qfQWe6jv
[15:41] <brokenscript> i have gone to FireFox troubleshooting mode.  and now?
[15:42] <brokenscript> int FF troubleshoot mode there are no artefacts in the marked text. and no artefacts in symbols
[15:45] <brokenscript> i have gone to FF truobleshoot, check.  posted modules and graphic card, check. tried creating new profile, check. and have done a refresh of FF.  what else can i do?
[15:45] <jailbreak> brokenscript, turn off gfx.web all in about:config to see if that helps.
[15:48] <brokenscript> the problem with the artefacts is not present in troubleshoot mode.  to check if it helped, i have to go back to normal mode
[15:51] <brokenscript> in about:config  i have:  gfx.webrender.all     is it that what you mean jailbreak?   it was set to "false" to begin with
[15:57] <jailbreak> brokenscript, search for force disable gfx.webrender.all
[15:58] <jailbreak> brokenscript, make sure to exit ff and re-open to see if it helps.
[15:59] <jailbreak> 3 lines, exit.
[16:01] <brokenscript> search for force disable gfx.webrender.all  ???  what do i serch for?
[16:01] <brokenscript> *search
[16:04] <brokenscript> gfx.webrender.all is set to "false" to begin with. ican set it to true and then to false again.  what else could i do with it?
[16:07] <ioria> brokenscript, Troubleshoot Mode turns off hardware acceleration , features and   customizations so i'd start from them; if it 's  an Intel bug (sna/uxa)  you should have errors in your syslog/dmesg

[16:11] <brokenscript> i have turned gfx.webrender.all to "true" and back to "fals2.  then i have restarted FF in troubleshoot mode. and restarted again in normal mode. the artefacts are there in normal mode. i have to go ask what a syslog/dmesg is
[16:12] <jailbreak> brokenscript, it's really not hard mate. just disable force acceleration. I don't know the exact name (google will) but search for web.render.force.disable or something iirc.
[16:13] <jailbreak> sec let me ss.
[16:13] <jailbreak> brokenscript, there you go: https://i.postimg.cc/L4cQkTxM/Screenshot-from-2021-07-03-17-13-24.png
[16:14] <jailbreak> disable that, fully exit FF and re-open. see if it still happens.
[16:15] <brokenscript> thx.  will do
[16:15] <ThinkT510> jailbreak: out of curiosity, what are you using for your i3status?
[16:16] <jailbreak> ThinkT510, custom.
[16:16] <ThinkT510> jailbreak: looks good
[16:20] <brokenscript> thank you very much. i have set gfx.webrender.force-disabled to "true"  and then restarted.   the artefacts are gone. thank you jailbreak.  does it have any sideeffects?
[16:27] <darsie> brokenscript: *If* (I'm not sure) it disables hardware rendering, it would slow down rendering. Maybe break some webpages, dunno.
[16:29] <brokenscript> if it is just slower, then i am happy with that. if it "breaks" websites, then hopefully i will remember, that i changed this setting.
[16:30] <brokenscript> thank you all for yor help and for your time.

[20:48] <Hypervisor1> Hi
[21:04] <Guest39> Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 21.04 on my mom's laptop but I'm having weird screen "glitches" that makes it unusable. The whole screen is shaky/wavy. On the live USB I have no issue, this is only after installing Ubuntu and booting on it.
[21:04] <Guest39> The laptop has an Nvidia graphic card, using ubuntu-driver autoinstall didn't solve the issue.
[21:05] <Hypervisor1> Try Lubuntu, its lighter-weight/faster
[21:05] <Hypervisor1> Similar in function
[21:05] <toddc> Guest when you boot the installer add the nomodeset option
[21:06] <Guest39> toddc where do I add that?
[21:07] <toddc> Guest39: grub menu 1sec I am looking for a guide
[21:09] <tomreyn> !nomodeset
[21:09] <Guest39> I just had a look at nomodset, is this to disable the graphic card ?
[21:10] <toddc> Guest yes it will just work with minimal grafics then after install you add the nivdia driver done
[21:11] <tomreyn> "nomodeset" is to temporarily disable "kernel mode setting", a mechanism used by the proprietary nvidia graphics driver for interfacing with the kernel.
[21:11] <tomreyn> it would enable you to install all the pending updates, which *may* make the proprietary graphics driver work properly on the next reboot
[21:12] <Guest39> ok
[21:14] <tomreyn> Guest39: bios updates can also help with such problems. this command, run in a terminal window, would return your mainboard / laptop model and its current bios version:  journalctl -b | grep DMI:
[21:15] <toddc> Guest39: when the grub menu come up during install press E and it open a new window to add teh nomoset option tehn do normal install and after reboot go to addl drivers and add teh nvidia
[21:16] <toddc> Edit my bad spelling
[21:17] <Guest39> tomreyn, Bios is a bit old, from 2015, I might try updating it at some point
[21:17] <Guest39> toddc, I'm still trying to get into the grub menu. Pressing Esc at startup takes me to grub command line
[21:18] <toddc> Guest39: e at grub menu not esc
[21:19] <Guest39> I know, I can't get into the grub menu yet
[21:19] <EriC^^> Guest39: try holding shift
[21:19] <Guest39> Did that too, no luck, I have UEFI
[21:20] <toddc> Guest39: are you booting from the install media?
[21:20] <Guest39> nope, I installed to disk already
[21:21] <toddc> if you have no data it a bit easier to reinstall or if you can open the addl drivers and install the new nvidia driver that will work too
[21:22] <EriC^^> Guest39: you mentioned esc gives you a grub command line, type "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" there and it should load the menu
[21:23] <EriC^^> try "normal" first as that might work too
[21:24] <Guest39> Thanks for the suggestion Eric^^ but I finally got in. I was messing around with the BIOS earlier and had turned on Legacy BIOS option. Switching back to UEFI fixed the issue, I'm in the grub menu now.
[21:26] <EriC^^> Guest39: great, press "e" to edit the ubuntu entry, and add "nomodeset" in the line that says "linux /boot/vmlinuz...... quiet splash"
[21:30] <Guest39> Alright just did it and I can already see the wavy are there :/
[21:30] <Guest39> They appear on the splashscreen even before ubuntu GUI appears
[21:32] <EriC^^> what driver do you have installed right now?
[21:33] <EriC^^> if you can get a terminal open, type "lshw -c video" and pastebin it somewhere
[21:35] <Guest39> I should have installed nvidia-driver-460  using ubuntu-drivers earlier. Will send the pastebin in a sec
[21:36] <Guest39> https://pastebin.com/SM5GSma5
[21:37] <tomreyn> Guest39: while you're at it, also post    dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999
[21:39] <tomreyn> nvidia 460 is likely too new for this hardware
[21:40] <Guest39> tomreyn I checked compatibilty on nvidia this should be supported. Also the issue appears at the very first boot after installing ubuntu
[21:41] <Guest39> tomreyn http://termbin.com/hwdv
[21:43] <Guest39> I see some reference to "nvidia_modprobe" in dmesg, does that mean the 'nomodset' in grub didn't work?
[21:45] <bailsman> libmysql-java seems to be gone from ubuntu20 - anyone know why? I found a reddit post telling me to install libmariadb-java but not sure if that's actually a drop in replacement
[21:46] <tomreyn> Guest39: indeed, the proprietary driver was loaded
[21:47] <Guest39> hmmm, ok let me try that again
[21:49] <Kon> Xorg upgrades used to be part of the HWE stack up through 18.04. Are there any plans to include Wayland upgrades for HWE?
[21:50] <tomreyn> Guest39: regarding bios upgrade - this probably won't help, you're just one version behind, and the latest doesn't list any fixes: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/abcn96ww.txt
[21:50] <bailsman> How do I search packages that don't have a repo? I have mysql-server-5.5 installed apparently, because it shows up in dpkg -S /etc/mysql and apt-cache policy mysql-server-5.5 shows it is not from any repo. But it does not show up in aptitude search ~o
[21:50] <bailsman> I want a full list of packages on the system that don't have a repo
[21:51] <tomreyn> Kon: this might be a question for #ubuntu-x (if your patience lasts for a day or two)
[21:52] <tomreyn> !yy.mm | bailsman
[21:52] <bailsman> tomreyn: Thanks! That's very helpful.
[21:53] <bailsman> Found the reason - they're packagse marked residual-config
[21:53] <tomreyn> bailsman: so which ubuntu version do you have? lsb_release -ds
[21:53] <bailsman> tomreyn: Thanks, I appreciate it.
[21:54] <Guest39> tomreyn oh ok, thanks for checking. I re-tried setting nomodset in grub and I still see nvidia_modprobe in dmesg.
[21:54] <tomreyn> bailsman: mysql 5.5 on any ubuntu release whose version number starts with "20." seems wrong for sure
[21:54] <tomreyn> Guest39: it's "nomodeset"
[21:55] <Guest39> tomreyn jesus christ.... Ok I'll try that again, my bad
[21:55] <Guest39> One more thing, I noticed I get an error message every time I restart "package shim-signed 1.47+15.4-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade ...." Not sure if this could be related?
[21:57] <tomreyn> Guest39: maybe. you should probably disable "secure boot" in bios.
[21:57] <Guest39> will gladly do.
[21:57] <Guest39> Riiiight, using nomodeset I don't have the screen glitch anymore
[21:57] <Hypervisor1> Try Lubuntu
[21:59] <Guest39> Hypervisor1 I might give it a try if I can't fix the issue.
[21:59] <tomreyn> Guest39: you also no longer have hardware accelerated graphics with it. so this is really just a workaround to regain control of your graphical user interface to enable to fix whatever needs fixing to make the nvidia proprietary driver work well. or to remove it, if you want to try your luck with nouveau.
[21:59] <Hypervisor1> Lubuntu is light weight
[21:59] <Hypervisor1> It may be easier on your laptop
[21:59] <bailsman> tomreyn: That's very helpful, thank you.
[21:59] <Hypervisor1> Or if the graphical glitch is debian specific
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> Ubuntu*
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> Try Debian
[22:00] <tomreyn> Guest39: lubuntu uses the same kernel, graphics stack, i don't see how it would help  you with the graphics issue.
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> Lubuntu uses a different DE
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> LXQt
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> You can also Try Debian, though Debian feels like a 2008 OS
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> it still works properly
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> Or Trisquel
[22:00] <Hypervisor1> trisquel.info
[22:02] <tomreyn> Guest39: i suggest focussing at the issue at hand before trying out other linux distros.
[22:03] <Guest39> tomreyn that's my plan yeah. I think I got excited too quick, nomodeset fixed the wavy lines on splashscreen but it's now stuck on the splashscreen
[22:04] <tomreyn> Guest39: you probbaly don't need to play with nomodeset because - from what i understood - you were still able to access and use the terminal when the proprietary nvidia driver was loaded.
[22:05] <Guest39> correct
[22:05] <Guest39> I could use the laptop normally, just the scree was all messed up.
[22:06] <Guest39> it' like horizontal lines on the whole screen, or like the edge windows, letter, images that get all "jumpy"
[22:06] <tieinv> a
[22:06] <Guest39> I could make a video but not sure where to upload it
[22:07] <tomreyn> Guest39: make sure you install any pending upgrades, though. and i'd still suggest trying an earlier proprietary nvidia driver. another option would be nouveau, the (incomplete) open source driver, which you'd get after fully uninstalling / deconfigurng the proprietary driver.
[22:07] <Guest39> I ran apt upgrade and I'm fully up to date, I'll try an older version of Nvidia driver. Also keep in mind I had this issue even before I installed the driver.
[22:08] <Guest39> Right after the fresh install the issue began
[22:08] <tomreyn> your dmesg suggests acpi issues with the nvidia graphics card
[22:08] <tomreyn> !acpi_osi *might* help
[22:08] <tomreyn> !acpi_osi *might* help | Guest39
[22:09] <tomreyn> !acpi_osi
[22:15] <Guest39> tomreyn Just tested "acpi_osi=!" in grub and that didn't work, I'll try with "acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Windows 2015" as mentioned in your article ubottu
[22:16] <Guest39> If that doesn't work either I'll try an older driver and if that still doesn't work I'll try Nouveau
[22:16] <tomreyn> Guest39: "acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Windows 2015" in the article is an example. the article also explains how to determine suitable values for the second parameter.
[22:17] <tomreyn> Guest39: did you disable secure boot, yet, and have you tried whether that fixes it already?
[22:17] <Guest39> no doing it now since I need to reboot anyway
[22:19] <Guest39> nope no luck with secure boot, I'll grab the correct Windows version and will try the acpi_osi thingy
[22:19] <oerheks> if that lenovo gives GTX840/860, use a lower driver? 430 or 440 ?
[22:23] <Guest39> right acpi_osi method didn't work, I'll try a different driver.
[22:35] <jacke> anyone tried slimbook pro x? what is your experience of it compared to other?
[22:50] <Guest39> Well I think I'm gonna give up ...
[22:51] <Guest39> I've tried the latest nvidia driver 460, an older one 440, disabled everything and apparently ubuntu automatically loads Nouveau. Nothing worked.
[22:52] <Guest39> I might try Ubuntu 20.4 I've heard a few complaint about 21.4
[22:53] <Hypervisor1> what was wrong with 21.4
[22:54] <Hypervisor1> 21.4 has documented/reported graphic glitches?
[22:54] <Hypervisor1> Try Debian... its old, it feels old, but its still fully funtional
[22:56] <Hypervisor1> And Debian is pretty stable and well supported
[22:56] <Guest39> Something to do with Wayland, Xorg and the Nvidia driver. And some stability issues. As I said, ultimately my mom is going to use it so I want to make it appealing and esay to her.
[22:56] <Hypervisor1> Trisquel!
[22:57] <Hypervisor1> Try Trisquel.info, Trisquel 9 MIni
[22:57] <Hypervisor1> Trisquel 9 Mini
[22:57] <Hypervisor1> Its light, fast, and stable
[22:57] <matsaman> Guest39: what was wrong with nouveau?
[22:57] <Guest39> matsaman I'm having screen issue since I installed Ubuntu, I've tried multiple drivers including Nouveau and none fixed the issue
[22:58] <matsaman> what kind of issues
[22:58] <jushur> Guest39: do the liveimage have the same issue?
[22:58] <Guest39> jushur no live image is fine
[22:59] <jushur> so it is a config issue.
[22:59] <matsaman> well, or the live image was using another device, like onboard graphics
[22:59] <Guest39> matsaman it's kind of hard to explain, the whole image is like shaky/wavy with what looks like horizontal lines.
[22:59] <Guest39> On the right edge of the screen I can also see artifact of the window I have open
[22:59] <matsaman> Guest39: that does sound like merely a software issue
[23:00] <jushur> id advice against running it like so, that means bad config wich can destroy your hardware.
[23:00] <matsaman> hardware failure looks different, IME
[23:00] <Guest39> It was running win 10 earlier today and no display issue
[23:00] <matsaman> what you can do is boot the live OS and see which driver is being used
[23:00] <jushur> Guest39: what does logs say?
[23:01] <Guest39> jushur, which one?
[23:01] <Guest39> I posted dmesg earlier, apparently there was some acpi issue another user spotted so I tried messing around with acpi_osi to no avial
[23:01] <jushur> X/Wayland dmesg nvidia?
[23:02] <matsaman> what make/model computer?
[23:02] <jushur> acpi dont make this kind of issue
[23:02] <koala_man> I was about to ask how to get the gui interface for vlc, but I installed vlc-plugin-qt and there it goes
[23:02] <jushur> bad EDID read can do, bad driver config can.
[23:03] <Guest39> Lenovo Z70

[23:06] <matsaman> Guest39: that's a geforce 840m?
[23:06] <Guest39> correct

[23:07] <niksen> xwayland
[23:07] <matsaman> doesn't matter
[23:07] <matsaman> Guest39: which nvidia driver version/s did you try?
[23:08] <Guest39> matsaman 460/440/390 and Nouveau is apparently loaded automatically by Ubuntu when no other drivers are being used
[23:09] <matsaman> 460.84?
[23:10] <tomreyn> Guest39: indeed, nouveau should be used automatically if the configurations for the "nvidia" driver (which niclude a configuration that explicitly prevents loading "nouveau") had been been removed
[23:10] <tomreyn> so it's good to verify that nouveau is actually being used when you're trying to
[23:11] <jushur> Guest39: do you have a toggle in bios for enabling/disabling IGP or deciding what GFX card is master? i see i915 in the dmesg log so it is loaded.
[23:11] <Guest39> tomreyn it was selected in the driver list so I'm assuming it was
[23:11] <tomreyn> matsaman: the termbin log says 460.80
[23:12] <tomreyn> Guest39: i would also assume it to work then
[23:12] <Guest39> jushur not sure I'd need to check
[23:13] <matsaman> may as well try 460.84
[23:13] <jushur> only the latest driver should be used, the old ones has verfied/known exploits..
[23:14] <Guest39> I was just using the one marked as recomended by the ubuntu-drivers utility
[23:14] <tomreyn> i guess i'd install 20.04 LTS and try the vanilla kernel with either nouveau or 390
[23:15] <tomreyn> (after making another note to never again buy nvidia)
[23:15] <matsaman> or, again, check what driver the live OS is using (although it might be for your onboard graphics instead of the nvidia)
[23:15] <Guest39> I ran "lspci -nn | grep -E "VGA|Display" on both the live image and the installed Ubunutu and I get the same result "VGA Compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Grpahics 5500"
[23:16] <matsaman> Guest39: grep -i for nvidia shows nothing?
[23:16] <jushur> im betting its using the intel i915 modeset driver
[23:16] <matsaman> jushur: fair bet
[23:18] <Guest39> jushur I have a Graphic Device Setting in the BIOS and it's set to "Discrete"
[23:18] <jushur> Guest39: that is the nvidia one then
[23:18] <Guest39> Other option is "UMA Only" (Enable integrated graphic only)
[23:18] <jushur> do you have "auto" option?
[23:18] <jushur> ah
[23:18] <Guest39> nop
[23:18] <matsaman> if your BIOS has a 'set to defaults' option, that might be worth a go, too
[23:19] <matsaman> and if your bios has an update, unfortunately sometimes that will matter also
[23:19] <matsaman> usually the changelog will tell you, though
[23:19] <Guest39> It's a pretty old BIOS and I'm only one version behind the latest
[23:20] <jushur> Guest39: i think you need to block intel modeset also, block its driver from loading
[23:21] <tomreyn> i don't think so
[23:21] <matsaman> alternatively, the intel graphics will almost certainly be fine for your use case
[23:21] <matsaman> and will use less power
[23:21] <tomreyn> unless she wants to play game son it
[23:22] <jushur> any modeset in kernel driver will interfere with nvidia driver
[23:22] <matsaman> she'd probably be the first person with a GNU/Linux-installing age child in history to want that
[23:22] <Guest39> xD
[23:23] <jushur> Guest39: just uninstall nvidia, go bios and set it to UMA mode by default.
[23:23] <Guest39> She most definitely won't, but I don't have access to my gaming desktop right now so I might ^^
[23:23] <jushur> well then there is an issue :D
[23:23] <tomreyn> yes, the issue that you don't have access to your gaming desktop
[23:24] <Guest39> I'll try the UMA only option though for science
[23:24] <tomreyn> that'll work fine
[23:26] <Guest39> I ran lspci on live image grepping for nvidia and I see the same thing as with the installed one, 3D controller: Nvidia [.....] Geforce 804m
[23:28] <tomreyn> lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | nc termbin.com 9999     would tell you which driver is loaded
[23:29] <Guest39> will do, just turned on "UMA only" option and I still have the issue ...
[23:29] <tomreyn> doh, sorry then, bad prediction. ;)
[23:30] <jushur> Guest39: boot the liveimg on it
[23:31] <Guest39> live image still good with UMA only
[23:31] <Guest39> I'll go back to discrete since it doesn't make any diff and will run tomreyn command
[23:32] <Guest39> By the way thanks everyone for your help <3
[23:33] <jushur> Guest39: id say reinstall with UMA only, skipp all driver install of nvida..
[23:33] <Lutin> hi guys, does the docker-ce package add the iptable rules ?
[23:37] <Guest39> tomreyn http://termbin.com/9uk2 That's on the installed ubunutu, I see the i915 that jushur was mentioning earlier
[23:37] <Guest39> I'll try on liveimg now
[23:37] <IRCMonkey> Setup Installation [partitioning] question: So when I'm down to specifying my [last] Root partition size, do I allocate it with everything remaining —like down to the last MB in free space or ?
[23:38] <IRCMonkey> How much do I allocate for /var & /tmp ? Also, if I specify Root partition size then I don't need to seprarately specify Home partition size ?
[23:38] <tomreyn> Guest39: and you don't see the nvidia? that's after undoing the bios option for "internal only", right?
[23:39] <Guest39> correct, it's now using the "discrete" setting
[23:39] <Bashing-om> IRCMonkey: My thoughts on partitioning - leave 5 or so gigs free for future aspirations.
[23:40] <tomreyn> discrete should be nvidia, though, it should not or not only see the internal one
[23:40] <IRCMonkey> Ohhh
[23:40] <IRCMonkey> Thank you
[23:41] <Guest39> tomreyn Nvidia is listed further down the list as 3D Controller http://termbin.com/vu2t3
[23:41] <Guest39> Same output as with the live image
[23:41] <tomreyn> Guest39: doh, i need to update that grep, thanks
[23:42] <Bashing-om> Guest39: What are you doing that you want to depart from a defaukt partitioning ? ^^ can lead to a lot of un-used disk space.
[23:42] <Guest39> Bashing-om I think you meant to ping IRCMonkey
[23:43] <Bashing-om> Guest39: OH ! wires crossed again :(
[23:44] <IRCMonkey> I have a 1.5 Ghz Celeron Dual-Core budget Dell lappy with 8 Gigs RAM —will it be able to handle Ubuntu ? Also my Windows 10 takes 20 minutes to boot to desktop, will Ubuntu be faster ?
[23:44] <IRCMonkey> Ubuntu minimum requirements say 2 Ghz Dual-Core processor.
[23:44] <Bashing-om> IRCMonkey: ^^ wasted disk space - even with large drives in-expensive is still a waste :D
[23:44] <IRCMonkey> What if I use MATE Desktop or something.
[23:45] <IRCMonkey> What's wasted disk space ?
[23:45] <IRCMonkey> I have a 500 GB HDD
[23:45] <IRCMonkey> Oh you meant the allocations ?
[23:46] <Bashing-om> IRCMonkey: Ubless you have a real need - I suggest the only seperate partition now-a-days is /home.
[23:46] <cbreak> zfs ftw
[23:46] <IRCMonkey> Ohhh gotcha
[23:47] <IRCMonkey> Not even "/" Root ?
[23:47] <tomreyn> IRCMonkey: unless you have broken hardware, ubuntu should boot faster with these specifications.
[23:47] <IRCMonkey> So I just allocate Swap & Root "."
[23:47] <IRCMonkey> - "/"
[23:47] <jushur> IRCMonkey: you can install ANY desktop enviroment and it should still be faster then windows.
[23:47] <tomreyn> IRCMonkey: 500 GB HDD sounds like it must be stone age and possibly falling apart, though
[23:47] <Bashing-om> xfs for servers with lots of data storage - can not be bettered - desktop still hard to beat ext4 - IMHO :D
[23:48] <jushur> IRCMonkey: if you can buy a cheap ssd and put in instead of that hdd it will be blazingly fast compared to now.
[23:48] <IRCMonkey> Ohhh
[23:49] <IRCMonkey> It takes 20 minutes for Windows 10 to boot to the desktop.
[23:49] <Bashing-om> IRCMonkey: No - a default install will make up a 'swap file' which is much more effecient these days.
[23:50] <IRCMonkey> So if I select default Erase HD & Wipe Everything it will create only 1 parition & all the space will be available for me in Home to save files to ?
[23:50] <IRCMonkey> Or should I manually specify ?
[23:51] <IRCMonkey> I was thinking of:: { 8 GB = /tmp |8 GB = /var |700 MB = /boot |13 GB = swap |80 GB =  /root |390.3 GB = Home }
[23:51] <jacke> IRCMonkey: dd your HD b4 you do it..
[23:51] <IRCMonkey> dd ?
[23:52] <IRCMonkey> SSD ?
[23:52] <tomreyn> if this is going to be used as a personal computer, then just use the default partitioning.
[23:52] <IRCMonkey> So I will havent 80% of space to use on Home ?
[23:52] <jacke> dd if=/dev/<you HD> of=myHDbackup.raw
[23:53] <IRCMonkey> Oh backup
[23:53] <jacke> diskdupe
[23:53] <IRCMonkey> Yeah I plan on backing up my ebooks & movies onto USB sticks.
[23:53] <Bashing-om> IRCMonkey: A new ubuntu user ? Take the easy route untill you know better and do that "erase disk and install". However there is a lot to be said for good in a seperate /home partition.
[23:54] <IRCMonkey> Yeah I have a 500 GB Hard disk, I want around 400 GB for my personal files —got lots to save !
[23:54] <Guest39> Bashing-om agreed
[23:55] <IRCMonkey> I've used Ubuntu once before for a short period (Jaunty Jackelope) was having trouble installing via Software Packager, was crashing.
[23:55] <tomreyn> if you'll really want to install to this hdd then it's probably a good idea to do a SMART check of it before you do.
[23:55] <tomreyn> !smart | IRCMonkey
[23:55] <tomreyn> you can do so from the installer / live system
[23:56] <IRCMonkey> All right
[23:58] <IRCMonkey> How much space will be available to me in my Home if I just select Erase Everything & Install to HDD (the default automatic option)
[23:59] <IRCMonkey> I require around 400 GB for my files to save from my USB sticks […]
[23:59] <Guest39> All of it minus what's required for the system (not much)


[01:37] <hallyn> uh, that patch is bogus though.  it takes a const char *perms and then updates it
[02:18] <hallyn> ok, another try
[02:46] <hallyn> rharper: ppa:serge-hallyn/virt package built
[02:47] <rharper> k
[02:47] <hallyn> though the ppa view is still confused
[02:48] <hallyn> make sure to get 1.3.1-1ubuntu7~ppa6, not 5.  (5 failed to build so shouldn't e available, but...   this is confused)
[02:48] <hallyn> oh there, finally updated
[02:52] <hallyn> oh screw libvirt.  now i get 'domain not running'  no idea what that's about
[02:52] <hallyn> oh, heh, wrong domain name
[02:54] <hallyn> didn't fix the problem for me :(
[02:55] <hallyn> still might push the pkg i have bc it has several important fixes
[03:00] <hallyn> oh, blah.  do i have to use 'R' also when depth == 0?
[03:00] <hallyn> ungh, i see
[03:00] <hallyn> rharper: yeah if you haven't yet don't waste your time, one more update to my patch
[03:01] <rharper> I've not yet
[03:01] <rharper> so I shall wait some more
[03:01] <hallyn> actually, maybe i can avoid doing the change when depth == 0.
[03:02] <hallyn> if i have a qcow2 stack and the top part of the layer is reasonly, *then* maybe i really want to deny writes ?
[03:02] <hallyn> don't think so though, just unhappy with needing this relaxation
[03:03] <hallyn> ^ do you get the feeling we should have someone who knows what they're doing taking over libvirt? :-)
[03:03] <hallyn> ok another 25 mins hopefully
[03:04] <rharper> heh
[03:04] <rharper> ok
[03:24] <hallyn> yay, success
[03:24] <hallyn> and all without having a working mouse today :)
[03:24] <hallyn> of course i don't actually *want* my uvt-kvm base image updated
[03:25] <hallyn> rharper: ok it's working for me so i'm going to push the pkg to xenial, no need for you to test unless you wnat to
[03:25] <hallyn> thx
[06:11] <hardwire> ahha.. you can select an ubuntu-server-minimal preseed
[06:11] <hardwire> that's handy.
[07:45] <hallyn> rharper: so regarding bug 1393842 I'm trying to find where qemu, for q guest agent, ever does an mknod, and not finding it.  Thinking I may have to undo that part of the fix in comment #40.
[07:47] <hallyn> though the error msg incomment 14 seems pretty clear....  but i'm not getting it
[07:48] <hallyn> (my concern is, if it's not supposed to mknod, then i'd rather not grant it that capability in apparmor profile for no good reason)
[09:51] <zetheroo> using Ubuntu 14.04 here. In a user's home directory there is a file which has user and group ownership by root. It's also read-only to any user that is not the owner. If I login as a user (not root) and open the file with vim I can then edit and save the file without using sudo. When I do this the file is saved and it's ownership changed to the user I am logged in as (not root).
[09:52] <zetheroo> This seems like a security vulnerability. How to stop this?
[11:01] <jushur> zetheroo: encryption file?
[11:02] <zetheroo> jushur: I found a solution - using chattr
[11:03] <zetheroo> its a very specific case and I was not aware that whoever owns the directory can do whatever they want with the files inside, even if the files are owned by root and only owner has write perms to the file.
[11:03] <zetheroo> Now I know ...
[11:16] <lordievader> zetheroo: That shouldn't be possible. It shouldn't matter who owns the dir. If you have write acces to a file you can write to it. If you don't you cannot write to it.
[11:16] <zetheroo> lordievader: apparently this is not how linux perms work
[11:17] <jushur> actually it is, tho you can technicaly as your user change the permission and owner/group on a file so only root can access it.
[11:18] <lordievader> zetheroo: It is, I just tested it. Vim is not able to edit a file owned by root.
[11:18] <jushur> and in that moment your user loses the rights
[11:18] <zetheroo> lordievader: is the file in a users home directory?
[11:19] <lordievader> Oeh, interesting when using the overwrite (:w!) it is able to write it...
[11:19] <zetheroo> yep
[11:19] <Deeps> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15346744/
[11:20] <zetheroo> like I said, the only solution I found was to use chattr +i on the file (done as root)
[11:20] <Deeps> 1119.11 < lordievader> Oeh, interesting when using the overwrite (:w!) it is able to write it...
[11:20] <Deeps> it deletes the file
[11:20] <Deeps> and recreates it
[11:20] <Deeps> notice the perms have changed to be owned by your user
[11:20] <zetheroo> yep ^
[11:20] <Deeps> because your user owns the dir, it can create/delete files
[11:20] <jushur> rofl
[11:20] <zetheroo> this really stumped me, and nearly everyone else I talked about it with :D
[11:21] <Deeps> vim override: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15346753/
[11:21] <Deeps> general file operations: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15346744/
[11:22] <lordievader> Deeps: It doesn't it points to the same block. And besides why can I remove a file owned by root.
[11:22] <Deeps> lordievader: because you own the dir, so you can do whatever you want to anything inside that dir
[11:23] <Deeps> i can't speak for whether or not this is by design, but it certainly looks like that's how it operates currently
[11:23] <lordievader> Hmm, interesting.
[11:23] <Deeps> but this would be why root owns / and changing the owner of / would be badnewsbear
[11:24] <zetheroo> yes, and why user root can edit everything under / because it owns /
[11:25] <zetheroo> if John Smith owns /home/johnsmith/ then he too can edit anything under /home/johnsmith/ regardless of who else may have gotten ownership to the file
[11:26] <lordievader> That makes sense, guess I learned something today :)
[11:26] <zetheroo> me too :)
[11:41] <skylite> I have to clear out a folder thats full of hardlinks. I dont care which one is deleted I just want to have only one of each file without any hardlinks. Anyone has a sollution for that?
[11:56] <rbasak> I don't think that's easy. You could create a file containing inode number and path, and then do some keyed sorting and uniq'ing on that.
[12:58] <skylite> I think I better write a shellscript for this
[13:25] <mdeslaur> rbasak: are you still working on squid3?
[13:31] <rbasak> mdeslaur: yes but task switched away from it for the moment.
[13:31] <rbasak> The version in xenial-proposed may be good to go, except for one bug reported by Odd_Bloke bloke I think, and needs some testing against squid-deb-proxy and squidguard.
[13:32] <rbasak> kickinz1_ was going to do some testing on it for me.
[13:32] <mdeslaur> rbasak: ok, good to know. Just checking up to make sure the new version is eventually going in, for security reasons.
[13:32] <mdeslaur> rbasak: thanks!
[13:32] <rbasak> It's still planned to go in, yes. Thanks for checking.
[13:43] <pezet91> hello, anyone can install LSI MegaRAID SAS driver on ubuntu server?
[13:44] <jushur> !ask pezet91
[13:44] <jushur> !ask | pezet91
[13:45] <patdk-wk> sure
[13:46] <pezet91> i looking for driver for LSI MegaRAID SAS controller, becauce current driven in kernel 3.8 don't see my sas disk (sorry for my english)
[13:46] <pezet91> driver*
[13:48] <pezet91> specification: Fujitsu Primergy TX2540 M1, MegaRAID SAS controller, Ubuntu Server 14.04 (kernel 3.8)
[13:49] <patdk-wk> and lsipci shows?
[13:50] <pezet91> lsipci: command not found :/
[13:51] <patdk-wk> lspci
[13:52] <pezet91> lspci | grep Mega : RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logis MegaRAID SAS-3 3008 [Fury] (rev 02)
[13:53] <pezet91> i can't rewrite entire log
[13:55] <rharper> hallyn: have we reproduced?  I don't see a  full guest xml or qemu command line;  qga makes a unix-socket, which I don't think needs mknod;  if they're using virtfs-9p; it could have proxied a mknod request from the guest;  other than that; I'm not currently seeing any qemu code that needs mknod
[13:56] <jushur> pezet91: rewrite? you copy or pastebin if its multiline
[13:56] <jushur> pezet91: Symbios Logis MegaRAID SAS-3 3008 is that truly a 3008? or is it 3080?
[13:56] <pezet91> 3008
[13:57] <pezet91> i can't copy, because i have ubuntu server on other machine
[13:57] <pezet91> only console
[13:58] <jushur> !pastbin | pezet91
[13:58] <pezet91> wait
[14:00] <pezet91> http://pastebin.com/EJHzH53d
[14:00] <jushur> pezet91: you sure it uses the megaraid_sas driver? and not mpt3sas ?
[14:01] <pezet91> i'm not sure
[14:02] <jushur> pezet91: do you have physical access to the card? cna read its sticker/name on it?
[14:02] <pezet91> yes i have physical access
[14:03] <pezet91> wait, i need to open the case
[14:04] <pezet91> http://www.fujitsu.com/fts/products/computing/servers/primergy/components/pmod-157814.html , it's my card
[14:06] <jushur> PRAID CP400i (D3307) (PCIe to 8-port SAS-3.0 RAID HBA (LSI 3008)) (driver megaraid_sas)
[14:08] <pezet91> yes, but if I type "modprobe megaraid_sas", it's don't work
[14:09] <pezet91> i can't see my disks
[14:09] <jushur> pezet91: check dmesg for info
[14:09] <sdeziel> pezet91: you said you have  Ubuntu Server 14.04 and kernel 3.8. Any idea why you are not on the 3.13 kernel?
[14:10] <pezet91> i can't use kernel 3.13 because i have video grabber in server (grabber works only with kernel 3.8)
[14:11] <pezet91> joshur: last line on dmesg: [ 3141:670846] megasas: 06.504.01.00-rc1 Mon. Oct. 1 17:00:00 PDT 2012
[14:15] <pezet91> so? anyone can help me? I struggle with this problem for a week :(
[14:18] <jushur> pezet91: my tip would be turn it off, disconnect the system drive and any important data drives. so you dont destroy any data. (dcoument/tape any cables so you know what goes where.) then use a live usb install and start the system to se wht works and what does not. try the new 16.04 beta to. and se if that can handle it.
[14:21] <pezet91> ok
[14:22] <pezet91> thanks
[14:22] <jushur> pezet91: use a seckond usb drive/stick to save logs to. from each test. so yuo can compare.
[14:23] <jushur> pezet91: do the sas card show the drives connected when you boot up? like its integrated firmware does recognice thme?
[14:36] <RoyK> pezet went... well - if he comes back, he may be told that this type of controller isn't an HBA, so to see the physical disks, they need to be defined in the controller somehow, either as a hwraid or in JBOD-mode (if supported) or as a single RAID-0 per drive
[14:49] <jamespage> coreycb, ok 0 test failure for mitaka-staging - going to shove everything apart from the dashboard into proposed
[15:01] <coreycb> jamespage, awesome.  still the horizon issue though so maybe hold off on promoting that.
[15:01] <jamespage> coreycb, ack skipped horizon
[15:05] <Zeljko> Any free shell access ?
[15:34] <kpettit> Have a weird log issue.  I've got 2 Ubuntu 14.04 servers.  One the weblogs rotate and the other doesnt.  I have a 9GB log file for example.  Apparently it's never rotated.
[15:35] <kpettit> My /etc/cron.daily/logrotate is the same as my other Ubuntu 14.04 systems that work.  And in the /etc/crontab it calls the daily crons like it's supposed to.
[15:35] <kpettit> So I have no idea where to look to see why logrotate isn't running.
[15:37] <kpettit> I can run the cron job "sh /etc/cron.daily/logrotate" and it works manually.  So something is messed up with cron.  But it's identical to other working Ubuntu systems.  It's tripping me out and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot.  Any ideas?
[15:43] <BlackDex> Hello there, i have a lot of messages in dmesg wich look like this: [  440.753544] init: <service-name> main process (10109) killed by TERM signal
[15:43] <BlackDex> where <service-name> are several services
[15:44] <BlackDex> what could be the problem??
[15:49] <kpettit> is it a low memory system?
[16:09] <coreycb> jamespage, I wonder if this is related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1550286
[16:09] <jamespage> hmm might be
[16:10] <jamespage> or its could be that our charm template for mitaka is foobar in the charm
[17:27] <hallyn> rharper: yeah i think i'll drop that.  (and start upstreaming the other patches which arein xenial)
[17:27] <hallyn> (that being the mknod exception)
[17:27] <rharper> hallyn: and at least request the full command line
[17:27] <hallyn> although yes i think i had reproduced at some point
[17:27] <rharper> or how to reproduce
[17:27] <hallyn> i think you just create a rhel7 vm in virt-manager
[17:27] <rharper> that could be documented
[17:27] <rharper> that's not good enough
[17:28] <rharper> we need to qemu cmdline
[17:28] <rharper> it they are adding other qemu features
[17:28] <hallyn> it's good enough bc you can get your own command line and it fails to work
[17:28] <rharper> those could e what's requesting the mknod
[17:28] <rharper> yeah, but why should I install virt-manager
[17:28] <rharper> at min, the subimitter can provide a full qemu commandline
[17:28] <hallyn> bc it's something we "support"
[17:28] <rharper> I'm not saying we don't support it
[17:29] <rharper> it gets solved faster with the cmdline
[17:33] <hallyn> rharper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15349105/
[17:34] <hallyn> so i'm dropping the mknod patch right now bc it doesn't even help. does that cmdline tell you what's going on?
[17:35] <rharper> hallyn: it helps
[17:35] <rharper> there's a lot of spice
[17:35] <rharper> usb integration
[17:35] <rharper> lemme see what else is happing in qemu
[17:36] <rharper> the additional spice agent and usbredir certainly can affect what it wants on the host
[17:36] <hallyn> but
[17:36] <hallyn> type=AVC msg=audit(1457717513.877:6035): apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" profile="libvirt-ecc5a333-8d61-4225-ae13-bd365d478725" name="/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-rhel7.0/org.qemu.guest_agent.0" pid=20477 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=116 ouid=116
[17:36] <hallyn> oh nm.  i was misreading
[17:37] <hallyn> weird line wrap, it looked like it was mknoding a diretory
[17:37] <hallyn> as a chardev
[17:37] <rharper> I'm really confused because there's almost zero mknod in qemu
[17:37] <rharper> 9pfs has mknod (as a proxy for allowing guest to mknod on host for 9p posix compliance)
[17:37] <rharper> but no where else
[17:38] <rharper> chardevs use unix socket
[17:38] <rharper> which I don't think are created with mknod IIUC
[17:39] <rharper> I kinda feel that something else besides qemu is doing a mknod but under the qemu profile
[17:39] <rharper> maybe libvirt ?
[17:39] <rharper> libvirt tends to "create" resources and hand them to qemu
[17:39] <rharper> but I don't know enough about the transition from the libvirt security profile to the qemu one (I guess exec boundary ) ?
[17:40] <jdstrand> not libvirt
[17:41] <jdstrand> if I were to guess I would say it is a supporting library of qemu
[17:41] <hallyn> well how does this qemu guest agent crap work
[17:42] <rharper> virtio-serial as a transport
[17:42] <rharper> then using a QMP wire protocol
[17:42] <hallyn> anyway, that ^ was with the patch which adds mknod if you have a qemu guest agent socket!
[17:42] <rharper> jdstrand: libc and more likely glib
[17:45] <jdstrand> rharper: fyi, libvirt does fork(), then aa_change_profile(), then exec()s qemu
[17:45] <jdstrand> we should probably change that to fork(), aa_change_onexec(), exec()
[17:46] <hallyn> lemme see if addingmknod to libvirt profile helps
[17:47] <hallyn> no, it has it already
[17:48] <hallyn> well i guess my patch was wrong, bc i'm on 1.3.1-1ubuntu7~zfs7 and the domain did not have mknod.
[17:50] <hallyn> oh the name doesn't even match
[17:51] <hallyn> so maybe it would in fact work if i did strstr() instead of STREQ
[17:53] <jamespage> hallyn, hey - do you think the helper update to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1513367 will happen anytime soon?
[17:54] <jamespage> in about ~1 week I'm going to start working on vhost-user support in the openstack charms, so I can help repro/fix/test whatever....
[17:57] <hallyn> jamespage: i dunno, noone has even bothered to reply to your request for denied msgs
[17:58] <rharper> ah, mkfifo does an mknod
[17:58] <jamespage> yeah i get the feel its a blind 'turn off apparmor for now'
[17:58]  * rharper searchs more
[17:59] <hallyn> rharper: yeah but i can do that unpriv
[18:04] <hallyn> jamespage: oh hold on, this is about dpdk.    If you're able to reproduce this to the point where you can hand me a vm where i can easily reprodue this with a custom built debugging apparmor that would be helpful.
[18:12] <hallyn> if not, is htis something you see mentioned a lot?  I actuallythought this was just one site with a custom install
[18:13] <hallyn> lemme try this smbios weirdness here
[18:17] <hallyn> no that works fine here
[18:20] <hallyn> jamespage: ok well noone has reported DENIED msgs bc there are none to report...  doesn't get that far
[18:22] <hallyn> jamespage: so i hate bugs like that bc it seems to confuse different error cases:  most of the bug they talk about an apparmor profile that failed to load.  but in comment #17 you suggest we might just need to add more perms;
[18:23] <hallyn> aaah, virt-aa-helper itself is not allowed to look under /var/run
[18:23] <hallyn> which would xplain both
[18:24] <hallyn> and adding /var/run/** to virt-aa-helper is actually ok, not the same thing as adding it to qemu
[18:25] <hallyn> jamespage: any chance you can push the reporter to test quickly?
[18:38] <Free99> ssl-cert setup seems to dislike that /etc/hostname is just "node-7"... is that a serious issue?
[18:45] <bekks> How does it look like when ssl-cert dislikes that?
[18:47] <Free99> bekks, "hostname: Name or service not known \n make-ssl-cert: Could not get FQDN, using "Node-7"."
[18:47] <bekks> then you have to setup a fqdn.
[18:50] <Free99> thing is, I'm using maas.. it won't let me set an FQDN :-[
[18:52] <tarpman> it's just a warning though, I think? IIRC it doesn't prevent it making the cert
[18:52] <bekks> Free99: So set it manually.
[18:54] <Free99> sigh.. this is actually a symptom of a bigger issue.  But postfox needs fqdn as well.
[19:01] <bekks> So set a fqdn manually.
[19:01] <Free99> I'm not generating this config, Maas is... maas.io
[19:02] <bekks> So where do you set the name of that thing "Node-7"?
[19:02] <Free99> bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15349884/
[19:03] <Free99> I set it in the Maas webUI, but it won't let me type an fqdn, only hostname
[19:03] <Free99> weird right?
[19:03] <bekks> So you cannot type "Node-7.test.local"?
[19:04] <Free99> nope
[19:05] <Free99> soon as you insert a period, the save button greys out... either going to have to modify the source or just do it via cli
[19:05] <Free99> but I wanted to see if anyone knew better beforehand
[19:44] <coreycb> jamespage, looks like django-compressor 2.0 is the fix for the openstack-dashboard install error
[19:51] <hallyn> rharper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15350345/  when I force the permission for the channel directory
[19:51] <hallyn> jdstrand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15350357/  what's wrong in this policy?
[19:58] <jdstrand> hallyn: owner "var
[19:58] <jdstrand> use owner "/var
[20:12] <hallyn> d'oh
[20:13] <hallyn> thanks
[20:14] <rharper> hallyn: I haven't dug any more; I just can't figure out where a mknod would come from (it's most likely a mkfifo for a char device) since mkfifo is a wrapper around mknod IIUC
[20:15] <rharper> as jdstrand possible from a helper library of qemu but it's not easily tracked down; cursory grepping of qemu and libvirt don't show much, I checked usbredir and spice ,but neither seem to have any either.
[20:15] <rharper> but clearly something at least needs to maek the unix socket for the virtio-serial connection;
[20:20] <jamespage> coreycb, awesome!
[20:50] <coreycb> ddellav, the global requirements list is frozen now for mitaka so we'll probably need to do one more pass through the dependencies before rc's come out
[20:55] <ddellav> coreycb ok
[22:17] <hallyn> rharper: jdstrand: ok, i managed to get the qemu-guest-agent thing working without mknod capability
[22:17] <rharper> nice
[22:17] <rharper> wth was the deal with mknod ?
[22:17] <hallyn> jdstrand: do you mind if i just always add
[22:17] <hallyn>   owner "/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channel/target/domain-rhel7.0/**" rw,
[22:17] <hallyn> to the files?  (domain-$name)
[22:18] <hallyn> bc i don't seem to be detecting it in the nchannels loop.  i don't know where it shows up inteh xml schema
[22:18] <hallyn> figure it should be private so no big loss?
[22:21] <hallyn> jdstrand: ^and also do you mind if i add /var/run/** r to the virt-aa-helper profile?
[22:21] <hallyn> (for openstack reasons)
[22:29] <jdstrand> hallyn: that's fine, though I would use /{,var/}run/**
[22:30] <jdstrand> hallyn: is domain-$name vm-specific? ie, $name is the name in the domain xml? if so, that's fine
[22:31] <jdstrand> hallyn: re no mknod: nice! :)
[22:44] <admin0> how do i create a virtual bridge in ubuntu  that stays after reboot
[22:44] <admin0> should lo be in the bridge_port ?
[22:46] <bekks> admin0: what are you trying to do, in first place?
[22:47] <ChibaPet> admin0: man interfaces
[22:47] <admin0> i need a few local bridges on top of which i will provide internal network to my kvm hosts
[22:49] <rattking> yeah do it in /etc/network/interfaces for a server, I have had endless trouble with bridge creation in networkmanager on a laptop
[22:49] <admin0> yes .. but since its virtual brige, what ports do I bind it to ?
[22:49] <admin0> br-int1 br-int2 .. both to lo ?
[22:50] <lordievader> rattking: What kind of troubles?
[22:50] <hallyn> jdstrand: yeah, name the domain name.  ok will do - thx, ttyl
[22:50] <lordievader> admin0: Whatever you want ;)
[22:51] <admin0> i mean it does not have to exist ?
[22:51] <lordievader> admin0: I usually have one real nic in the bridge and the rest are vm nics.
[22:52] <admin0> lordievader: that i understand .. that comes after the bridge is crated .. i do using brctl but that does not stay after reboot
[22:52] <lordievader> admin0: Do as people suggested, configure it in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:52] <admin0> i want to premanently create say 5 bridges, but having trouble if i should just use lo as port to all
[22:52] <admin0> lordievader: that i know ..  i am asking if people use lo in bridge_ports lo for all ?
[22:52] <lordievader> You could also let libvirt create the bridges for you.
[22:53] <admin0> or i need to create virtual lo:s ?
[22:54] <admin0> lordievader:  i did not went the libvirt way .. thanks !
[22:54] <admin0> will use the net-create in libvirt
[22:55] <nacc> stgraber: looking at merging unbound again, as we're out of sync with debian already. You just did a merge, I've got the debdiff done and ready to go, do you have any advice on testing? I think it'll also need a FFe, as it's a new upstream version
[22:55] <rattking> lordievader: my problems are probably caused by hotplugging since this is a laptop, on my servers everything works fine. but the issues are having to manually down the bridge before any network access will work after disconnecting the ethernet adapter. also I can never tell if the bridge will get a IP or not when I re-up it
[22:56] <stgraber> nacc: ping sdeziel, he'll happily test it for you :)
[22:56] <nacc> stgraber: ok, thanks! :)
[22:57] <lordievader> rattking: Ah, that sounds familliar. Got the same issues here. But I don't really mind it.
