[02:10] <Kcaj> I have a weird question - I have been getting a lot of http traffic on one server today, it seems to be scanning for vulnerabilities, also swaps IP, and has been a fair amount of traffic (not DDoS level, but still). I actively and manually added some IP inside the httpd, but the IP are changing rapidly enough now that I don't think even a fail2ban
[02:10] <Kcaj> jail or something would help
[02:10] <Kcaj> Is there another way to thwart stuff like this, besides maybe setting traps on the common URLs they try and access?
[02:13] <Kcaj> Here are some recent examples: <IP_ADDRESS> tried to access: /owa/auth/x.js on 7/15/23 @ 10:04 pm, <IP_ADDRESS> tried to access: /ecp/Current/exporttool/microsoft.exchange.ediscovery.exp, <IP_ADDRESS> tried to access: /owa/auth/logon.aspx on 7/15/23 @ 9:57 pm, <IP_ADDRESS> tried to access: /.git/config on 7/15/23 @ 9:30 pm, <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:13] <Kcaj> tried to access: /laravel/.env on 7/15/23 @ 8:19 pm, <IP_ADDRESS> tried to access: /administrator/.env on 7/15/23 @ 8:19 pm, <IP_ADDRESS> tried to access: /vendor/phpunit/phpunit/src/Util/PHP/eval-stdin.php on 7
[02:13] <Kcaj> Some of these IP do this... a lot, 50 different bad URL requests in a single minute. I could thwart those with fail2ban or something, but I'm wondering what other options I might have here
[02:14] <Kcaj> I've always seen some activity like this, but not to this level until recently :/, it probably helps that I don't use any third party stuff, so they are just getting 404 everywhere, but I want to be more proactive than that
[02:15] <Kcaj> I'm currently thinking: should I just compile a large list of the common URL they try and access, and place a booby trap in all those locations to automatically ban any IP that tries to access any of them, on the very first attempt? I'm guessing I could just work that into my 404 error handling process (rather than creating all the dummy
[02:15] <Kcaj> directories and files themselves)
[02:45] <jea0p_> helow
[02:45] <jea0p_> tes
[02:45] <jea0p_> anyone here
[02:45] <rbox> nope
[02:45] <jea0p_> lol
[03:52] <jhutchins> Kcaj: You probably want to look into fail2ban and ip throggling with iptables.
[03:52] <Kcaj> thanks :D
[03:52] <jhutchins> Kcaj: The former is a blunt tool, the latter more effective.
[03:53] <Kcaj> yeah I just had an issue earlier with iptables :x lol, tried to blacklist an ip and ended up losing everything after a restart due to a bad rule that was actually denying everything, meaning I couldn't even ssh in (VPS)
[03:53] <Kcaj> I was able to get back in, still, thankfully, and reverse it haha
[03:55] <jhutchins> Kcaj: There's some old arcane lore about how to manage that ...
[03:56] <Kcaj> Some dude named "man", I never seen him on here
[03:56] <jhutchins> Kcaj:    http://www.trinityos.com/LINUX/index-linux.html
[03:56] <jhutchins> or possibly  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/
[03:57] <jhutchins> Kcaj: If you master those, it will take your peers years to catch up to you.
[03:57] <akik> an easy way is to create a cron job which clears iptables after 15 minutes or so
[03:57] <jhutchins> Kcaj: 90% of it is usless for your practical application.
[03:58] <jhutchins> akik: fail2ban does that.
[03:58] <jhutchins> akik: Throttling doesn't need to.
[03:58] <akik> jhutchins: fail2ban works "after the fact"
[03:59] <jhutchins> Banning an IP after it's been used for an attack is useless.
[03:59] <jhutchins> akik: No, the level of impact remains the same.
[04:00] <jhutchins> A DDOS still takes kernel rsources to repell, and can take down a system.
[04:00] <jhutchins> akik: Yeah, fail2ban is pretty useless in the real world.
[04:01] <jhutchins> Gives people a warm feeling like they've done something though...

[04:18] <db`> Hi everyone.
[04:18] <db`> Need some assistance here. Got an old laptop (Sony Vaio) with legacy BIOS version, running Win 10. I setup Ubuntu 22.04 with a flash drive by manually configuring the partitions ("Something Else" option during the installation). I also setup an EFI partition (512MB) as required. This is the structure -
[04:18] <db`> Laptop got 1 disk - 750GB. Drives its got C:\, D:\ & F:\. I created F:\ by shrinking D:\ for ubuntu. F:\ is about 100GB.

[04:26] <db`> Btw Bashing-om, doesn't +q flag mean giving owner attributes to the user?
[04:27] <Bashing-om> db`: You get quietd for flooding the channel :( .. as to your issue - Bios boot does not require a EFI partition and grub is installed to the device "sda" .
[04:29] <Bashing-om> db`: by bios boot I mean a legacy boot- NON UEFI.
[04:29] <db`> Are these some new flags? coz AFAIR, +q was for giving ownership of the channel. Yea, I got muted, I realised that. Nvm.
[04:29] <db`> OT: I actually got a popup asking me to setup an EFI
[04:31] <db`> Also, I am currently setting up the grub on sda. Ubuntu is getting installed. Hope it works. But since even Windows doesn't load, I presume that the boot loader is broken or something
[04:32] <db`> Ah, eureka! The grub now loads, after having installed it on sda.

[11:23] <Guest68> Greetings
[11:23] <weedmic> cheers - have you an issue?
[11:24] <Guest68> Yes, lemme write it quickly
[11:25] <Guest68> For some reason, I am not able to install ubuntu, the installer says there are currently no detected operating systems. I read some forums post, but for a simple user like me, I am not able to understand them completely
[11:25] <Guest68> Please let me know, what more details I need to share
[11:26] <ravage> Guest68: can you maybe share a photo of your error message?
[11:26] <ravage> you can use https://imgur.com/
[11:26] <ravage> and what Ubuntu version is this?
[11:26] <Guest68> It's the latest, 23. Let me share a picture
[11:27] <ravage> and maybe you can also share some details about the hardware
[11:28] <Guest68> https://imgur.com/a/8mvNpIS Like this (ignore the version, this picture is from a forum post I was reading)
[11:28] <Guest68> Sure, like?
[11:28] <ravage> ok. but i dont see an error here
[11:28] <ravage> cant you just click continue?
[11:29] <ravage> also im sure your installer looks different
[11:29] <ravage> this is from a very old installer
[11:29] <Guest68> No, I can't. The button is greyed out
[11:29] <Guest68> The error I mean, the top heading there, I have similar like that
[11:30] <Guest68> Also, the first option https://ubuntucommunity.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/0/603543a56f2d3efba0ff1e81c6cd8e571fda93aa.png isn't available for me
[11:30] <ravage> and is that your plan?
[11:30] <Guest68> I actually want to dual boot
[11:30] <ravage> i think that option may not be available in all combinations
[11:31] <ravage> you can go with "try Ubuntu"
[11:31] <Guest68> Yes, try ubuntu is working perfectly fine
[11:31] <ravage> and get into the webchat again from there
[11:31] <ravage> so maybe we can get some more information about your current system
[11:31] <Guest68> Oh Yes, I can definitely do that
[11:32] <Guest68> Let me open it then, thank you
[11:37] <Guest68> I am now in ubuntu
[11:38] <ravage> ok :)
[11:38] <ravage> open a terminal and paste "sudo lshw -short > /tmp/paste.txt; sudo lsblk >> /tmp/paste.txt; sudo fdisk -l >> /tmp/paste.txt; cat /tmp/paste.txt | nc termbin.com 9999"
[11:38] <ravage> that should output a URL. paste that here
[11:39] <Guest68> Ok, btw recently I am getting this error message https://imgur.com/a/rzcMPbk
[11:40] <ravage> you can ignore that for now on the live session i think
[11:40] <Guest68> https://termbin.com/9wi6 here's the link
[11:41] <ravage> ok
[11:42] <ravage> looks like a pretty default setup so far. laptop. 1TB SSD and windows installed
[11:43] <Guest68> I believe it's hdd
[11:43] <ravage> not great but should not matter :D
[11:43] <Guest68> yeah ik :P
[11:44] <ravage> that recovery partition may be a problem
[11:45] <Guest68> I do have a different unallocated space, that I created in windows
[11:45] <ravage> i dont see that anywhere atm
[11:45] <Guest68> weird
[11:46] <ravage> but we could try to fix that from the livecd i think
[11:46] <ravage> i just cant guarantee that this wont affect the windows install
[11:47] <ravage> do you have a backup just in case?
[11:47] <Guest68> I don't really want to mess up with window
[11:47] <Guest68> Nope
[11:47] <ravage> you should backup your whole installation for sure before you do anything
[11:48] <ravage> you can do that from the livecd too if you have any external drive available to do that
[11:48] <Guest68> at the moment unfortunately not
[11:49] <Guest68> Also for some reasons, here my ram usage just keeps increasng with time
[11:49] <ravage> deleteing that recovery partition should not affect anything but any modifications of the system without a backup are never a good idea
[11:50] <Guest68> I should probably do more research on that
[11:50] <ravage> you can always get help here but a backup is really a good idea
[11:51] <ravage> if you have an external USB drive or a network share there is "Cloneilla" for example
[11:51] <Guest68> I actually want linux just for some practice, no plan in making it my daily usage os. But the difference in timing of linux and window is annoying
[11:51] <ravage> oh
[11:51] <ravage> then maybe try a VM first?
[11:51] <Guest68> I could, but I don't think my notebook pc is enough powerful
[11:51] <ravage> install virtualbox on windows
[11:51] <weedmic> or just use the live version - then if you are ready to commit, install
[11:51] <ravage> ok
[11:52] <ravage> i totally get that you want to dual boot first
[11:52] <Guest68> If that timing issue is fixed, then not much a big deal to me :sweat_smile: I am ok with this live one
[11:53] <Guest68> But if I do changes here, they are probably gone in my next boot
[11:54] <ravage> yes all you do will not survive a reboot
[11:54] <Guest68> my ram usage is 91% now, weird
[11:54] <Guest68> I must close ubuntu otherwise my pc will froze like last time
[11:57] <ravage> that really should not happen
[11:58] <Guest68> sorry I am back
[11:58] <ravage> ok
[11:59] <ravage> can you maybe try the latest LTS version and see if that works better for you?
[11:59] <ravage> https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/ubuntu-22.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
[11:59] <Guest68> the 22 one?
[11:59] <Guest68> I think so, Let me download it
[12:00] <Guest68> Btw I asked my friend to try it, and it worked for him
[12:01] <ravage> yes you have some really strange behviour there
[12:02] <Guest68> also that ram usage, is that normal?
[12:02] <ravage> not at all
[12:03] <Guest68> Weird, I was looking at system monitor too, firefox was at top with 300mb usage
[12:03] <ravage> thats ok
[12:04] <ravage> browsers these days need a lot of ram
[12:04] <Guest68> no I mean, I couldn't see a process which was taking all of my 4gb ram
[12:05] <Guest68> https://askubuntu.com/questions/288999/ubuntu-13-04-not-detecting-windows-7-during-install I was reading this, should I try this?
[12:05] <ravage> you should not try any advice that is 10 years old :)
[12:05] <Guest68> Yes, makes sense
[12:05] <ravage> try 22.04 first
[12:06] <Guest68> Yup, downloading
[12:06] <noord> if you want to install windows and ubuntu (dual boot), install windows first
[12:07] <noord> because windows overrides mbr and grub
[12:07] <noord> grub settings*
[12:07] <Guest68> the problem is I don't have my license key for windows :sad:
[12:07] <ravage> you can extract that with a tool i think
[12:08] <Guest68> You can, I didn't know
[12:08] <weedmic> yes, let me see if I still have the instructions for finding the windows key
[12:10] <weedmic> found - "powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').0A3xOriginalProduceKey"
[12:10] <Guest68> should I run that in powershell?
[12:10] <ravage> you can run that in cmd i think
[12:10] <ravage> if you run it in powershell you only need the part in "
[12:11] <ravage> and maybe you need to run it as admin
[12:11] <weedmic> cmd - i believe - I did it once incase I could not get access to all my work required items, once I did, i just put it in a file.
[12:12] <ravage> for my HP laptop i never got a serial number
[12:12] <ravage> it is usually part of the bios
[12:12] <ravage> and windows just activated itself
[12:12] <Guest68> in hp laptop you can get serial number by ctrl + alt + s I believe
[12:14] <Guest68> for that command, i got an error
[12:14] <Guest68> At line:1 char:65
[12:14] <Guest68> + ... t-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').0A3xOrig ...

[12:15] <Guest68> I thought these thngs happen only in other platforms like discord
[12:16] <ravage> wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
[12:16] <weedmic> and, of course, remove the surrounding "
[12:16] <ravage> should also work
[12:17] <Guest68> I did get a string that looks like product key, thanks!
[12:17] <ravage> great :)
[12:17] <Guest68> cool so ubuntu 22 is also booted in my pen drive
[12:17] <Guest68> let me try
[12:17] <weedmic> glad/happy to hear - i extremely rarely know windows things :)
[12:18] <Guest68> Wow sounds like you are entirely linux user?
[12:18] <ravage> Guest68: report back from the live session then
[12:18] <Guest68> Ok, let me first store my windows key in my onedrive vault
[12:21] <weedmic> store it on paper, just in case - imho
[12:21] <weedmic> tape it to the outside of the box - when you know it works.
[12:22] <Guest68> Yes did that because I realized I forgot my microsoft password
[12:23] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:30] <Guest68> Sorry for inconvenience, I am back
[12:30] <Guest68> well this this it was bit different
[12:31] <Guest68> When I clicked continue, the installer kind of froze
[12:31] <Guest68> everything else was working fine
[12:31] <ravage> did you give it some time?
[12:31] <Guest68> like 1-2 min, then I clicked quit button it got closed
[12:31] <Guest68> black screen appeared
[12:31] <Guest68> then I hit enter, just to see
[12:32] <Guest68> I got an error
[12:32] <Guest68> igpu Stoney not supported
[12:32] <ravage> are you on the live session now?
[12:32] <Guest68> that's like my gpu series something
[12:32] <Guest68> yes
[12:32] <Guest68> but now it's fine
[12:32] <Guest68> and tbh working faster
[12:32] <Guest68> also, I now notice a window button in my left
[12:32] <ravage> ok. can you try to run the installer from the desktop again?
[12:32] <Guest68> sure
[12:33] <Guest68> again loading at that step
[12:34] <weedmic> igpu - as in integrated into the cpu - or motherboard? Guest68 (or does it mean somethign else)?
[12:34] <Guest68> integrated one
[12:36] <weedmic> nvm

[15:11] <sgon> hi, I just installed ubuntu 22.04 to a pocket sized laptop. In live system, everything looks OK. but after installation, everything is way too big. The resolution is correct and the same as live system. But everything is just super zoom size. I can not really use it right now. How to fix this problem? Thanks a lot.
[15:12] <jhutchins> sgon: Something in the back of my mind says the DPI setting is off. (Dots/Pixels per inch).
[15:13] <sgon> jhutchins: thanks a lot for the reply. Do you know how to set it up properly?
[15:13] <jhutchins> sgon: Sorry, that's farther back.
[15:16] <sgon> I checked the current DPI. It's 96x96 dots per inch. Is that correct?
[15:17] <sgon> it looks correct to me. My another laptop returns the same value. Maybe I should run the live system again. To see what the live system is in that pocket sized laptop.
[15:17] <jhutchins> sgon: Correct is subjective.  How big is the screen?
[15:17] <sgon> 7inch.
[15:18] <jhutchins> sgon: I think increasing the DPI is what you want to do, but I don't use gnome and I don't know how.
[15:18] <sgon> I will try to reboot to live system and check the dpi. Everything works fine in live system. I haven't used ubuntu for a long time. It's not a good experience when I try to come back...
[15:18] <Alesha> fice...
[15:18] <jhutchins> Still Sunday Morning in most of the areas served by this channel.
[15:19] <jhutchins> sgon: If you don't work it out, you might try again in a few hours.
[15:20] <jhutchins> sgon: What make/model is this system?  I have an ancient Cassiopea that's checkbook-sized.
[15:20] <u8353v[m]> Removing snapd and telemetry from kubuntu might be giving me problems installing software like:... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/2ea9829bf11fc1b6d4f52e5c50b87789e66e7401>)
[15:20] <jhutchins> Keyboard & Everything, B&W LCD though.
[15:20]  * u8353v[m] uploaded an image: (272KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/IffajyOmCDwNOCnEnmzJOXKP/image.png >
[15:21] <jhutchins> u8353v[m]: Interesting, how did you do that upload?
[15:22] <sgon> jhutchins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIOKDe4phkA&t=3s
[15:24] <u8353v[m]> jhutchins: what upload?
[15:24] <sgon> jhutchins: I am trying the live system in that pocket laptop. The DPI value is the same. It's 96x96. Thus the problem is not about wrong DPI.
[15:27] <sgon> I tried many distros these two days. None of them has this issue. I tried mx linux, mint, fedora, pop_os, debian etc.. Ubuntu gives me surpise. Why does the live system behave differently from the installed one?
[15:44] <tomreyn> u8353v[m]: it's preferred to share terminal output in text form rather than images when you can.
[15:45] <tomreyn> the "does not have a release file" error seen on your screenshot at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/IffajyOmCDwNOCnEnmzJOXKP/image.png usually indicates that this apt repository does not support your current ubuntu release at this time.
[15:46] <bancroft> I have an old linux machine that keeps turning off randomly and I'm sure it's doing it because it wants to protect itself from some kind of failure, but I have no idea how to find out what was the last traceback, the sys log is massive. Is there really no "This is why we crashed" I'm quite frustrated at this problem
[15:48] <tomreyn> bancroft: if a system powers off by itself without cleanly going down (OS wise) first, then it's a hardware issue. So you may not find logs on this on the operating system (which is software, obviously).
[15:49] <tomreyn> some systems provide a hardware / firmware log, too. and some systems try to make the operating system aware of hardware issues when they occur.
[15:50] <bancroft> tomreyn: that makes sense, so nothing ubuntu specific really for hardware?
[15:50] <tomreyn> often a syste shutting off under increased load will do so due to thermal issues - cleaning them, and their fans, and making sure heat is properly transported to the fans can solve this.
[15:53] <sgon> I think I might know why everything is zoomed after install. In live system, it's running X11. After install, it's running wayland.
[15:54] <jeremy31> sgon: Might be an option in the grub menu to boot x11
[15:54] <tomreyn> bancroft: ubuntu will probably not be the root cause. but you can run this and share the link returned if you would like to share some logs    journalctl -p4 --since "$(date --rfc-3339=date -d "today -1 day")" |& nc termbin.com 9999
[15:54] <jeremy31> Advanced options for Ubuntu
[15:57] <sgon> Is that correct live system is running x11? after installation, it's running wayland? Because I did apt upgrade after installation to try to fix the issue. And I haven't rebooted to the live system to check again. From memory, the live system is running x11.
[15:59] <sgon> If the issue is caused by wayland, how to fix it in wayland?
[15:59] <tomreyn> sgon: can you show a screenshot of what seems wrong?
[16:00] <sgon> tomreyn: everything is zoomed. I can not really used. it only shows 1/4 of the screen. something like that.
[16:00] <tomreyn> so you only ge to see a quarter of the screen and it cuts off there?
[16:01] <sgon> not really. it's not cutting off. It's a zoomed screen. everything is enlarged and big.
[16:01] <tomreyn> i.e. you can move the mouse pointer off screen, and the panel expands into the invisible eara?
[16:01] <tomreyn> *area
[16:01] <sgon> there is no invisible area.
[16:01] <tomreyn> ok
[16:01] <sgon> everything is enlarged.
[16:01] <tomreyn> settings -> displays -> scale
[16:02] <tomreyn> which graphics hardware + driver do you have there?
[16:02] <tomreyn> it will say in settings -> about
[16:02] <sgon> intel j4105. let me check.
[16:02] <tomreyn> no need to check then if you have nothing dedicated
[16:04] <sgon> It's just a pocket size laptop. low end. intel celeron j4105. I remembered the card is intel UHD 600, something like that. Wait a second. I haven't checked yet. I will try scale first.
[16:04] <tomreyn> that's right, "Intel UHD Graphics 600" would be the integrated graphics in a J4105 cpu
[16:05] <Guest68> I need help, I am getting this message what should I dohttps://imgur.com/a/pNNU6cG
[16:05] <Guest68> https://imgur.com/a/pNNU6cG
[16:07] <basenjis> Are you installing a new OS? @Guest68
[16:07] <Guest68> I am trying to dualboot with windows
[16:08] <jhutchins> bancroft: If it's a tower, it might be time to get the vacuum or air compressor out and clean the interior of the case.  Sometimes re-seating all of the connectors fixes odd transients.
[16:09] <tomreyn> Guest68: you can press ctrl-alt-t to spawn a terminal and run   sudo lsblk   in there to get a better idea of what /dev/sda is. if /dev/sda points to the installation media or to a different disk you are not trying to install ubuntu on, then you can ignore the message, answering "no". answering "yes" is the safest option, but could prevent you from installing ubuntu
[16:10] <Guest68> yes it's the disk I was trying to install ubuntu
[16:11] <tomreyn> try answering "Yes" and see whether this helps the installation move forward
[16:12] <Guest68> yes, I will try to install now
[16:12] <tomreyn> did you previously have a linux distribution installed on the target disk?
[16:12] <Guest68> nope, only windows
[16:12] <sgon> tomreyn: ok, I think I know how to fix the issue The pocket size 7 inch laptop screen is like portrait by default. BUT the system always thinks that is Landscape. So the orientation shows Landscape (when it's portrait). When the system boots, everything is enlarged in the real portrait direction (landscape orientation). I tried to rotate the
[16:13] <sgon> orientation, but because everything is too big, it failed to do so. Now, after changing the scale value from 100% to 125%, I can change the orientation from landscape to portrait (actually from portrait to landscape). After the rotration, then I change the scale from 125% back to 100%. Everything looks good now.
[16:13] <tomreyn> Guest68: okay, good luck. :)
[16:13] <jhutchins> sgon: yay!
[16:15] <sgon> jhutchins: I am not sure if my above words make sense or not in English. The problem is kinda weird.
[16:15] <sgon> Thank you all for the help.
[16:15] <jhutchins> sgon: I think I understand.  You may need to build some kind of macro to get it booted.
[16:15] <tomreyn> sgon: you may or may not want to give this a try: https://askubuntu.com/questions/237963/how-do-i-rotate-my-display-when-not-using-an-x-server
[16:17] <sgon> I think the orientation will be fixed/persistent after reboot. I will try now.
[16:19] <sgon> yeah, the orientation setup is persistent after reboot. So no need to change anything. I just need to do this weird setup once after installation.
[16:20] <jhutchins> sgon: It has wifi but not cell data, right?
[16:21] <sgon> jhutchins: yeah, the product has wifi, but not cell data if you mean 4g/5g internet.
[16:25] <sgon> jhutchins: If you are interested in this pocket laptop. It has three issues in linux, that's why I tried many distros without too much luck. 1. goodix touchscreen does not work. 2. no sound. bluetooth headphone works. 3. can not wakeup from suspend/sleep.
[16:27] <tomreyn> which hardware is it?
[16:27] <sgon> There is a bug regarding goodix touchscreen: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209061 When I google the problem, it seems goodix touchscreen support is always bad, some kernel works, some kernel does not. I tried 5.15, 5.19, 6.1, 6.2. All of them don't work.
[16:28] -ubottu:#ubuntu- bugzilla.kernel.org bug 209061 in Drivers "Goodix touchscreen no longer working since kernel 5.7" [Normal, New]
[16:28] <sgon> tomreyn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIOKDe4phkA&t=3s
[16:29] <tomreyn> i see. hadn't spotted those, yet
[16:33] <sgon> Regarding the sound card, more stories. It does not work in pulseaudio. It worked badly in pipewire. very low sound quality. volume is too low in pipewire. bluetooth headpone is better in pulseaudio than pipewire. Ubuntu 23.04 pipewire does not work. But debian 12 pipewire works. Because it worked badly in pipewire. so finally, I decided to use old
[16:33] <sgon> ubuntu release 22.04 which is more stable. Although the sound card does not work, bluetooth headphone works fine.
[16:35] <sgon> Regarding the wakeup issue, I think there is no fix. Once it goes to sleep (to ram), it just can't come back. USB has no power. Press power key won't wake it up. Only solution is long pressing the power key to turn it off. There is nothing in BIOS so no luck to fix this issue. This is very bad, because I planned to carry it around in the
[16:35] <sgon> sleep/suspend mode. (Hopefully, my words make sense. Sorry about my English).

[16:37] <sgon> tomreyn: thanks a lot for the tip. I will try it.
[16:46] <tomreyn> sgon: good luck. if you want to share a dmesg, we can also look into potential solutions to the other issues.
[16:47] <sgon> tomreyn: sure, I can do that. Thanks a lot for your patient and help. Wait a minute, I will upload the dmesg to some pastebin.

[16:55] <sgon> Weird, it has been deleted.
[16:55] <sgon> What!
[16:55] <tomreyn> :) let me know when it succeeded, somewhere
[16:55] <sgon> It comes back again.
[16:55] <sgon> Something wrong with hastebin.
[16:56] <tomreyn> okay, i was able to download it
[16:56] <sgon> thanks a lot.
[16:58] <tomreyn> you're welcome. i'll look over it, take notes, if any, and get back to you with a url to those notes. but this can take half an hour or one.
[16:58] <sgon> I haven't tried suspend yet in this fresh install system. From my previous experiences, it won't wake up.
[16:59] <sgon> ok, no worries. thank you.

[17:01] <sgon> jeremy31: thanks a lot for the info. I am not sure if I can follow those steps.
[17:01] <jeremy31> sgon: Is there a BIOS update available?
[17:02] <sgon> jeremy31: I can not find the seller now. There is no website regarding this product. Maybe I can try to ask other sellers. There are many sellers selling the same product.
[17:03] <sgon> The manufacturer does not have a website.
[17:04] <tomreyn> https://www.pipo.com/ is not theirs?
[17:05] <jeremy31> Did it have Windows on it?
[17:06] <sgon> I think it's not the same company.
[17:07] <sgon> jeremy31: yeah, it has windows on it. Everything works in windows.
[17:07] <jeremy31> sgon: Is Windows hybrid shutdown disabled?
[17:07] <sgon> the manufacturer installed requried drivers in windows.
[17:07] <kubuntu> hi guys someone knows kmymoney ?
[17:08] <sgon> jeremy31: I don't understand what it means. (Is Windows hybrid shutdown disabled?)
[17:08] <sgon> I can google it now.
[17:09] <jeremy31> sgon: Windows by default does a wierd shutdown that can mess with hardware when booting Linux distros
[17:10] <sgon> jeremy31: will that affect linux suspend to ram? The hardware just does not wake up from suspend.
[17:11] <jeremy31> sgon: that could be the goodix driver causing that
[17:12] <sgon> ok. I don't quite follow that. But I can disable hybrid shutdown. just googling it.
[17:18] <Guest68> Thanks guys I have installed ubuntu

[17:26] <plt2> They are connecting and use my server ip address as spoofing
[17:26] <rbox> connecting to wahat
[17:26] <plt2> This shit is in the socket lib
[17:26] <rbox> what?
[17:27] <EriC^^> plt2: you have to be more specific, very vague
[17:27] <plt2> The individuals is spoofing conencting to my applications using my server ip address
[17:27] <EriC^^> what application
[17:27] <plt2> All of them
[17:27] <mybalzitch> most likely your router/proxy is misconfigured
[17:28] <EriC^^> yes
[17:28] <cbreak> IP spoofing? That's hard... are they on your network?
[17:28] <cbreak> or are you using UDP?
[17:28] <plt2> Dedicated server and there is no router
[17:28] <rbox> lol
[17:28] <rbox> plt2: give an example of what is happening
[17:28] <rbox> dont just say "everyting is being spoofed"
[17:28] <cbreak> without router I'd be surprised you get any packets at all
[17:29] <EriC^^> rbox: maybe 3rd time is a charm, repeat same sentence plt2

[17:30] <plt2> The 66 is my server ip address
[17:30] <cbreak> you will need a router somewhere, or you can not connect to the internet. If you are not on the internet, but some private network with direct connections, then spoofing is possible, but it should be easy for you to find the attacker, since it is connected to your switch
[17:31] <oac> Manik2375: I just learned about MissionCenter, which is written in Rust and has all sorts of system monitoring, including GPU usage. It's available via flatpak: io.missioncenter.MissionCenter
[17:31] <plt2> There is no switch
[17:32] <Jakov> pls reply, if know how to solve this

[17:32] <Manik2375> oh thanks
[17:32] <cbreak> Manik2375: I use nvtop on the cli, for nvidia / cuda
[17:32] <plt2> The provider hosting the server owns the router
[17:32] <Manik2375> The options confusing me
[17:33] <plt2> When your server is being hosted by most providers they do not give you access to their routers or switches
[17:33] <oac> Manik2375: What do you mean?
[17:33] <cbreak> plt2: TCP IP spoofing is almost impossible for remote attackers.
[17:33] <plt2> me?
[17:34] <plt2> You saw it
[17:34] <Manik2375> What is this? flatpak: io.missioncenter.MissionCenter (I am new linux user)
[17:34] <plt2>  Linux_Tech 	<IP_ADDRESS> 	Sun Jul 16, 2023 12:15 pm 	Updated user details
[17:35] <cbreak> plt2: that means very little.
[17:35] <plt2> The 66 ip address should be 90,x,x,x,x
[17:35] <cbreak> it certainly doesn't mean any IP spoofing was involved in the creation of that line of text
[17:35] <Manik2375> https://imgur.com/a/mBlS9LX I am getting this when installing vlc
[17:36] <plt2> On the socket lib when a client connects then it activates on_connect, you call it and it returns the client ip address, remote post ect...
[17:36] <plt2> oops
[17:36] <plt2> On the socket lib when a client connects then it activates on_connect, you call it and it returns the client ip address, remote port ect...
[17:36] <cbreak> plt2: think about TCP a bit
[17:36] <cbreak> to open a TCP connection, you have to initiate a handshake
[17:37] <oac> Manik235: Ahh okay. Flatpak is another way to install software. On Ubuntu and most modern systems, you can install software via a graphical app store or via the command line. On Ubuntu the command line methods are `apt` and `snap`, but flatpak is another system similar in many ways to snap, but different applications are available from different places.
[17:37] <cbreak> that requires the remote computer to send a reply
[17:37] <plt2> I have been writting client servers applications a long time so I know how it works
[17:37] <cbreak> it can not send a reply to a packet it does not receive
[17:37] <cbreak> and if it gives your server's address as its own, it will OBVIOUSLY not receive a reply
[17:37] <cbreak> therefore: no handshake, no connection
[17:37] <Manik2375> I think I can understand that
[17:38] <oac> Manik2375: I think the VLC problem is just that the app store was lagging and an installation was already in progress, so it just got a bit confused
[17:38] <plt2> There is ip spoofing tools on linux
[17:39] <Manik2375> it got fixed ty
[17:39] <plt2> dsniff - Various tools to sniff network traffic for cleartext insecurities
[17:39] <cbreak> to make IP spoofing work, you have to either be in the same subnet and spoof the routing table, mess with the global routing via bgp or similar, or not care about replies, for example for DOS attacks, or for UDP
[17:40] <plt2> Russian hackers do it
[17:40] <plt2> They are good at it. The white house got hacked a few times
[17:40] <cbreak> if you don't see the problem, read up on the basics of TCP
[17:41] <plt2> bbl
[17:41] <oac> Manik2375: Glad to hear it. You can find almost any software you will probably want in the Ubuntu Software Center, where you just installed VLC, so it's probably not necessary to install flatpak as well unless there's a particular piece of software you know you want from flathub (the source of much of the software available via flatpak).
[17:41] <cbreak> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol#Connection_establishment

[17:49] <plt2> Could varnish cause a issue reporting the client ip address being the same as the server assigned ip address?
[17:50] <plt2> oops
[17:50] <plt2> Could varnish cause a issue reporting the client ip address being the same as the server assigned ip address in the logs?
[17:51] <rbox> rofl
[17:52] <cbreak> varnish is that caching proxy?
[17:52] <rbox> you've been writing programs "a very long time"... yet the first conclusion you jump to is someone is "spoofing" your ip, and you're running programs you dont even know what they do?
[17:52] <cbreak> if it's connecting to your server from your server, then that's what your server sees as connecting to it
[17:53] <plt2> If your using for example my ip address at home?
[17:55] <plt2> Something cause this to log the server ip address and it did not come from my server as the client ip address
[17:55] <cbreak> if you connect to some proxy, and the proxy connects to your server, then your server sees the proxy, not you
[17:56] <plt2> Its not doing it all the time.
[17:56] <plt2> I think it has to do something with varnosh
[17:56] <plt2> oops
[17:57] <plt2> I think it has to do something with varnish
[17:58] <plt2> What I said before on the socket lib is correct it reports the client ip address on_connect event
[17:59] <tomreyn> sgon: i have no concrete recommendations. ACPI power mamagement (PM) support does exist for S0 S3 S4 S5. I did make some notes on errors and hardware details, though, sorted by component, which you could use to look bug reports or potential workarounds for compoentns / drivers which are not working as expected: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/8585450f/
[18:03] <sgon> tomreyn: (y) thank you very much for your time and help. I am checking the notes.

[18:06] <Jakov> I see that It covers gnome
[18:06] <Jakov> I need to use both
[18:08] <sgon> How to set keyboard keys to mouse click in wayland? In X11, I simply set xmodmap "keycode 84 = Pointer_Button1". and then run `xkbset m`. In Wayland, xkbset returns an error: `"XKB not supported for display :0"`
[18:09] <tomreyn> sgon: you're welcome. before trying to manually pick the right files from the intel SOF firmware repository (for audio), make sure you actually have the latest version of ubuntu package firmware-sof-signed installed
[18:09] <tomreyn> generally install any pending updated using    sudo apt update && sudo apt -f install && sudo apt full-upgrade --purge --autoremove
[18:10] <cbreak> Jakov: I don't see any problem. Terminals are just programs, if you have enough RAM and other resources, you can start as many of them as you want.
[18:11] <jhutchins> Jakov: You can change the size of the windows.
[18:11] <tomreyn> sgon: with wayland + mutter (gnomes' compositor), you need to set things up through either gnome-settings or, where not available, libinput.
[18:11] <sgon> tomreyn: ok, got it. Hopefully, it can work in pulseaudio. I tried pipewire, it worked but the sound is very bad quality and low volume.
[18:11] <jhutchins> Jakov: "Terminals" are just another application.
[18:12] <Jakov> what terminal is tested to work simultaneously with gnome? tilda just covers it
[18:12] <cbreak> I use kitty everywhere. It's nice.
[18:14] <jhutchins> Jakov: I don't think you understand what's happening.  Gnome is still there.  Double click the title bar on the terminal, you'll see your desktop (or whatever else is running).
[18:15] <jhutchins> Jakov: Any Linux compatible Xterm should will work just fine in Gnome.
[18:16] <jhutchins> Does the Ubuntu gnome install set up the traditional four workspaces?
[18:16] <oac> It sets up dynamic workspaces, so two by default and if you move something to the last it will create another one after it
[18:17] <oac> You can set it to use a fixed number in the settings
[18:18] <tomreyn> sgon: /lib/firmware/intel/sof-tplg/sof-glk-es8336-ssp2.tplg is the SOF file which you *may* need to replace by the newer version from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin/releases/download/v2.2.6/sof-bin-v2.2.6.tar.gz (in-archive path: /sof-bin-v2.2.6/sof-tplg-v2.2.6/ ). unfortunately i do not know whether just this one file would work - you may actually need to update / replace multiple files, if the ones the ubuntu package provides are not
[18:18] <tomreyn> working.
[18:20] <sgon> tomreyn: got it. I will try that. :] (y)
[18:30] <plt2> This is the issues that happen when developers depend on other libs to write their applications
[18:31] <sgon> I am not sure what "xkbset m" really does in X11. Are there any equivalent commands in wayland?
[18:33] <tomreyn> the "m" stands for "mousekeys", as can be seen in the man page for xkbset
[18:34] <tomreyn> !man
[18:38] <sgon> ok, the laptop does not have a real mouse button. It uses keyboard keys to simulate mouse click in windows. It uses keycode 84 for left click and keycode 135 for right click. In x11, I simply run xmodmap and `xkbset m`. In Wayland, it's hard to do this. haven't figured out yet. still googling.
[18:48] <tomreyn> sgon: here's my very rudimentary understanding of the situation, in case it helps: you will find that there is no 1-to-1 replacement, because wayland is no 1-to-1 replacement for X11. there are some tools which try to reproduce X11 functionality for wayland based compositors, but whether those can work depends on what the compositor intends to manage itself, or let's "some other tool" do (if such exists). gnome's compositor, mutter, doesn't
[18:48] <tomreyn> allow you to use external tooling to manage these, but states it does / will support this itself. just that's not neccessarily the case (yet?), or it may be possible but documentation may be lacking.
[18:53] <sgon> tomreyn: thanks a lot for the explanation.
[18:56] <tomreyn> hehe, i'm not sure it really helps.
[19:00] <tomreyn> sgon: maybe package input-remapper (optional GUI: input-remapper-gtk) would work for what you're trying to achieve
[19:01] <tomreyn> newer versions of the software are available via (python) pip and from https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper
[19:02] <sgon> tomreyn: thanks a lot. actually, I am trying that app. :)
[19:08] <sgon> tomreyn: input-remapper works very well. Thanks a lot. :D
[19:08] <tomreyn> sweet, that's good to know
[19:09] <tomreyn> a pity you have to run an extra daemon for proxying signals for it, but.. oh well.
[19:09] <sgon> (y) =D
[19:11] <sgon> it's OK as long as it works. The manufacturer should really improve this pocket laptop design.
[19:15] <jhutchins> sgon: When you can buy a basic standard laptop for a similar price there's not going to be enough market for it to be improved for.
[19:18] <sgon> Standard laptop is too big to carry around. I always want a real linux mobile phone, but nothing exists yet. 7 inch is big too, but it's the smallest one I can find.

[19:51] <Jakov> If I have two monitors, how to minimize with WIN + D only left monitor windows?
[19:54] <EriC^^> Jakov: you could maybe write some shortcut that presses the button in the left monitor and quickly presses win + d then goes back to the initial position
[19:54] <EriC^^> usually if you press win + d it minimizes the one you're in, or both monitors?
[19:55] <Jakov> it does both monitors

[23:16] <John_Ivan__> hi, has the file tagging option been removed from nautilus/files? I can't seem to find it anymore in the file manager.

[23:29] <ravage> John_Ivan__: i think that feature was removed in 2011
[23:30] <John_Ivan__> ravage, oh... what is the solution now for file tagging?

[10:04] <popey> ok
[10:04] <mdke> popey: I was thinking of creating a team which we could use to attract contributors to the screencast project when we have the infrastructure ready. It would involve making a launchpad team, which I've just done, and making a wiki page, which I'm about to do. I'd love your feedback on the idea and anything you'd like to see happening in terms of organising that
[10:05] <popey> ok

[10:06] <popey> it could hang off that>?

[16:57] <ochosi> micahg, mr_pouit: could one of you please set up a xubuntu-artwork branch for saucy? i have a fix for plymouth (finally fixes multi-head troubles) that could go into raring as well, but it'd be good to have a separate branch for the saucy series
