[00:02] <matsaman> kewl
[00:02] <MarkB2> How to identify this thing?  isovfy says it's not ISO9660 so (obviously) it must be something else.
[00:03] <matsaman> I feel like if you can mount it, 'mount' will say what it thinks it is
[00:06] <MarkB2> It was mounted... but mount didn't say what it thinks it is.
[00:06] <MarkB2> Grr..
[00:06] <matsaman> like if you just run 'mount' after mounting it?
[00:07] <MarkB2> ah. Thank you.  It's "UDF" format.
[00:07] <matsaman> sure okay
[00:07] <matsaman> that's the usual data DVD format, I think
[00:15] <chieta> what the other tool to create some bandwith usage using specific interface let's say ens0p2 .... using iperf but no luck with this $ iperf -c localhost --bind ens0p2 -w 15K
[00:15] <kvndy> All I had to do was $ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdd sdd1
[00:16] <kvndy> and now my drive is back
[00:21] <matsaman> kvndy: =D
[00:21] <kvndy> I tried reproducing but nope, now it's readonly
[00:21] <kvndy> I can do this
[00:24] <matsaman> still if it's decrypted, you're surely most of the way there
[00:25] <MarkB2> matsaman: I'm starting to wonder if there's nothing wrong with the DVD but that it was written to an older standard of UDF that isn't supported any more.
[00:25] <kvndy> matsaman: I'm getting closer but things are starting to get messy and fall apart. Now I can't unmount the drive
[00:26]  * matsaman shrugs
[00:27] <matsaman> like, it's not elegant and you won't learn much, but if you can read it, you _could_ just copy it all out and fix it all by remaking it, then copying it back
[00:27] <matsaman> MarkB2: or maybe the AVIs were always broken
[00:27] <matsaman> MarkB2: what does ffmpeg -i foo.avi 2>&1 say?
[00:27] <matsaman> MarkB2: or ffmpeg -i foo.avi -c:v libx264 -c:a libfdk_aac bar.mp4
[00:33] <kvndy> Well, I'm closer. I don't have to completely reboot, but I do have to quit all running apps with open documents. That will have to suffice for now
[00:34] <kvndy> That results in data loss if files weren't saved. Damn
[00:35] <osx5> hi all
[00:36] <osx5> haven't been on linux in a long time, is there  a reason MS doesn't let you run ubuntu in Windows anymore? didn't it used to show up as a program in control panel?
[00:36] <osx5> i see they let you run the shell still
[00:36] <tomreyn> !wsl | osx5
[00:36] <tomreyn> othert than that, for windows questions, best turn to ##windows
[00:37] <osx5> ty
[00:37] <osx5> i prefer ubuntu honestly
[00:37] <osx5> but you all get the driver support monopoly MS has
[00:38] <MarkB2> matsaman: ffmpeg can get at some of the damaged files... but the rest of them stop short with an input/output error.
[00:39] <matsaman> such a weird comment; Linux supports more hardware than anything
[00:40] <kvndy> I give up. Thanks matsaman, we'll chat again the next time my drive accidentally becomes disconnected
[00:49] <Speiros> Wishing you all the best for the holiday period.
[00:51] <MarkB2> Speiros: The same to you and yours.  Best of Health.
[00:51] <Speiros> Cheers MarkB2 :)
[01:37] <dman777> hello, I am using the ubuntu server installation for 18.*. In the storage configuration I used LVM so I could have luks. I created a vg0 and made a /boot volume and a / volume. However, the done is greyed out and I can not move forward. Anyone know what I am missing here to where the done is greyed out?
[01:38] <tomreyn> maybe an efi system partition?
[01:41] <dman777> Hmm... I have one that already exists
[01:43] <dman777> that's still probably the issue though
[01:44] <tomreyn> you may need to set it upo to be used as esp, yes
[01:57] <dman777> strange...the installer crashed and I need to do it all over again
[02:08] <dman777> looks like maybe curtin and rsync errors?
[02:10] <dman777> I am willing to bet this is specifci to lvm
[02:11] <tomreyn> maybe your .iso is just broken?
[02:11] <tomreyn> or not the latest 18.04 installer
[02:11] <dman777> the iso gives me the option to update the installer.... I tried both the updated ver and non updated ver
[02:15] <tomreyn> that's correct, but not what i meant
[02:15] <dman777> I tried without the lvm options and no errors this time
[02:15] <tomreyn> did you verify the iso checksums
[02:15] <dman777> haha...no
[02:15] <dman777> ugh
[02:16] <dman777> but shouldn't it work regardles if I update the installer?
[02:16] <tomreyn> no
[02:17] <dman777> oh...it just errored out
[02:17] <tomreyn> the base image is one thing, data if you want,t he installer is the other thing
[02:17] <tomreyn> part of it may have downloaded properly, other parts not
[02:17] <dman777> ok, let me remake the usb iso
[02:17] <tomreyn> first of all ensure the downloaded iso file is correct, then write it to installer media, then verify it was written properly
[02:18] <tomreyn> that's how you do it if you're taking your time serious
[02:18] <dman777> how do you verify it was written to the usb correctly?
[02:19] <tomreyn> using a software which does it automatically, such as balena etcher (if you want a bloated gui tool, which usually just works, x-platform), or using dd
[02:19] <dman777> I use dd to write the iso to the usb
[02:19] <chieta> how to generate traffic using iperf on specific interface ... i tried create some bandwith usage to specific interface let's say ens0p2 using iperf but no luck with this $ iperf -c localhost --bind ens0p2 -w 15K
[02:20] <tomreyn> chieta: is that an ubuntu question njow? since initially it was a debian question?
[02:20] <oerheks> dman777, one verifies the iso before writing with dd
[02:20] <oerheks> !md5sum
[02:21] <tomreyn> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/75483/how-to-check-if-the-iso-was-written-to-my-usb-stick-without-errors
[02:21] <chieta> it was tomreyn
[02:24] <dman777> is it possible to verify the desktop version of ubuntu 18 and deselect software like gnome not to be installed? I tried but didn't get the options
[02:24] <tomreyn> !YY.MM | dman777
[02:24] <tomreyn> and no
[02:25] <dman777> ok, thank you
[02:25] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[02:48] <dman777> how come the server installer does not allow me to delete partions?
[03:00] <matsaman> dman777: if it truly doesn't, I'm guessing you can still CTRL+ALT+F2 and do it manually
[03:01] <matsaman> with cfdisk or fdisk or gdisk or gptfdisk or sgdisk or parted
[03:01] <dman777> ah...good to know. thanks
[03:04] <matsaman> and then +F1 would go back to the installer
[03:17] <Mystified1234> hi, need some help updates are not taking place. running 20.10 groovy. the issue is with 2 repositories that are eaon. i know they are not supported. i even disabled 7 removed them from '' other software' upgrade is still was looking for the 2 repositories. eoan-updates and eoan-security.
[03:17] <Mystified1234> The repository 'http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates
[03:17] <Mystified1234> Release' does not have a Release file
[03:17] <Speiros> Mystified1234 Have you rebooted since?
[03:18] <Mystified1234> See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details
[03:18] <Mystified1234> yes
[03:18] <Speiros> Ok.
[03:18] <Mystified1234> i've been trying to fix this for the last couple of days
[03:18] <Mystified1234> rebooted a number of times
[03:19] <Mystified1234> thanks Speiros
[03:19] <Mystified1234> yasou
[03:19] <Mystified1234> are you greek
[03:19] <Speiros> Yasou, Mystified1234 :) No, not Greek, but the meaning of the name was important for me.
[03:19] <Speiros> :D
[03:19] <Mystified1234> sorry for the assumption
[03:20] <Speiros> All good. I have many Greek friends.
[03:20] <Mystified1234> both sides of my family is 100percent greek
[03:20] <Speiros> Cool.
[03:21] <Mystified1234> my shift does not work properly, it's hit and miss with all the symbols in uper case
[03:21] <Speiros> I'm not sure what else you can do as regards the repositories. Could it be related to the issue, this shift key not working?
[03:21] <Mystified1234> any suggestions with updates eaon
[03:21] <Mystified1234> not related.
[03:22] <Speiros> No, sorry. I don't know anything about it.
[03:22] <Mystified1234> thanks...
[03:22] <Speiros> Have a safe holiday too.
[03:22] <Mystified1234> ill keep reposting the error
[03:22] <Mystified1234> thank you too.
[03:22] <Speiros> No worries.
[03:22] <Mystified1234> hi, need some help updates are not taking place. running 20.10 groovy. the issue is with 2 repositories that are eaon. i know they are not supported. i even disabled 7 removed them from '' other software' upgrade is still was looking for the 2 repositories. eoan-updates and eoan-security.

[03:24] <john_rambo> can someone please tell me why I am getting these shadows around icons ? https://ibb.co/kJn1tg5
[03:26] <dman777> matsaman: strange.... ctl-alt-f2 does not get me to terminal in the server live iso installer
[03:27] <dman777> and it doesn't allow me to create new partitions.
[03:29] <Speiros> Did you try Gparted, dman777?
[03:29] <Menzador> john_rambo: I don't see any dropped shadows or anything; your icon theme may be missing some icons tho...
[03:29] <dman777> Speiros: it's not available in the server live iso
[03:29] <Speiros> Ah, okay.
[03:29] <Menzador> Mystified1234: So you commented them out or dropped their entries in sources.list.d entirely?
[03:30] <dman777> i'm having to switch iso just to do disk modifications
[03:31] <matsaman> dman777: I wonder if you can cancel out of the installer from TTY1
[03:31] <dman777> this would be alot easier if I didn't want to save my windows partition
[03:32] <Mystified1234> sudo nano sources.list.d
[03:32] <Mystified1234> where is the sources list located
[03:32] <Mystified1234> btw thanks Menzador
[03:33] <Menzador> Mystified1234: /etc/apt/sources.list.d and delete the entries for those PPAs
[03:36] <dman777> i think that is amazing that windows powershell is available in linux now. not a good amazing... just amazing
[03:37] <Speiros> dman777 When everything is money financed, everything is at risk of corruption.
[03:39] <dman777> i agree, sadly. i wish ms was out of linux
[03:43] <dman777> the server installation failed again
[03:44] <dman777> i might just try the desktop version. Is it possible to install the desktop version and remove the desktop manager without breaking everything?
[03:47] <Speiros> Yeah, not sure about that, dman777.
[03:49] <Maik> dman777: which version you try at the moment, 20.04?
[03:53] <SynfulAck> On ubuntu 2004 gnome and trying to disable ctrl+alt+d but when i looked at the keyboard shortcuts there nothing listed for it?
[03:53] <matsaman> SynfulAck: for show desktop?
[03:54] <matsaman> I'd imagine that's in the window manager shortcuts
[03:54] <SynfulAck> matsaman, I think it minmizes all the windows like the windows equivalent
[03:54] <matsaman> metacity
[03:54] <SynfulAck> matsaman, where do i access that?>
[03:56] <oerheks> dconf for ctrl+alt+d in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings - show desktop
[03:57] <matsaman> don't think dconf existed in 2004
[03:57] <matsaman> SynfulAck: might ask #gnome
[03:57] <matsaman> or #linux
[03:57] <matsaman> might remember better
[03:57] <oerheks> ?
[03:57] <SynfulAck> matsaman, ok thx!
[03:58] <Jari--> Ubuntu hitting the wall street one day ? yes ?
[03:58] <matsaman> SynfulAck: what oerheks said, that might apply to gconf (g not d) though, still
[03:58] <oerheks> gsettings for sure
[04:04] <tomzx> hello! I'm having a boot issue I'm not sure how to fix. When ubuntu boots I end up in the initramfs rescue CLI but I can't see my disk. If I use a live CD, I can see the disk mounted as /dev/vda and the root partition as /dev/vda1. Any clue why I can't see it in initramfs?
[07:34] <Speiros> Hi all. Can anyone tell me some simple commands for browsing the logs. I am at present typing the date day by day in a browser and perusing this way. I was wondering if there was a way to keyword the whole database.
[07:35] <Speiros> See, I'm trying to find the first date I ever came on here under this nick, but I've only found it at June 6th, 2010 so far.
[07:35] <Speiros> I think there's at least another two hidden years.
[07:38] <ThinkT510> if it is in text you could grep for your nick (i'm assuming the logs you are referring to are this channel's irc logs)
[07:39] <Speiros> Yes, they're this channel's logs, ThinkT510. Where would I type this, and how should it be worded? Excuse my ignorance.
[07:44] <PatFussy> dir
[07:45] <ThinkT510> if you wanted to find if firefox was running you would: "ps aux | grep firefox" then each line with firefox would pop up in the terminal. I'm not sure how to feed a txt file to grep in the terminal though.
[07:45] <Speiros> Okay. Thanks anyhow, ThinkT510 :)
[07:47] <ThinkT510> Speiros: I suppose if you are viewing them in a browser you could use ctrl+F and search for your nick
[07:47] <Speiros> Yeah, I can do that, but it is day by day only.
[07:48] <Speiros> So I'm having to change the days and search each one. I was looking for an easier way if at all possible ThinkT510, and I think it would be like you said, a grep command, but over a database or something.
[07:50] <Speiros> Someone once asked "How do I start Apache?" If I knew now what I knew then...
[07:51] <Speiros> I'd have told them with a drumbeat.
[10:39] <arahael> Speiros: Yeah, it's pretty easy, indeed.  First, you install OpenBSD.
[10:41] <Speiros> Sorry arahael?
[10:42] <arahael> Speiros: Yes, and then you can easily start Apache 1.3 ;)
[10:42] <Speiros> LOL Gotcha :)
[10:53] <St0nkBread> Hello, all!
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> welcome St0nkBread
[11:01] <Elw3> Heyo. Whenever i freshly booted, the word evict is in my clipboard. Anyone seen something similar?
[11:04] <St0nkBread> thats spooky lol
[11:05] <Elw3> Yes...
[11:05] <Elw3> I want to know whats setting that.
[11:16] <St0nkBread> I'm trying to list a group of files in the terminal. Files are -file00-09. The command cat ./-file0* returns the contents in a paragraph, and while I can get what I need from it, I want to sort the contents in a list, or something more readable.
[11:16] <St0nkBread> I need to do this in the terminal, as I don't have permission to save the output to a file.
[11:18] <St0nkBread> I keep thinking I'm on to something, and getting the ambigous redirect error. I've tried things like cat < ./-file0*
[11:18] <St0nkBread> cat < ./-file0{0..9}
[11:19] <St0nkBread> file < ./-file0*
[11:22] <Elw3> create a list with ls, sort it, then cat each entry maybe.
[11:26] <lotuspsychje> Elw3: pastebin; uname -a && lsb_release -a && systemd-analyze blame && systemd-analyze critical-chain please
[11:27] <Pr_Moriarty> hello
[11:27] <lotuspsychje> welcome Pr_Moriarty
[11:28] <Pr_Moriarty> I am not a super tech savvy guy, I am a student of political science interested in the politics of the open source movement however I feel I should at least try out FOSS software as a part of my research and I have heard Ubuntu is ideal for the tech novice within the FOSS community is this acurate?
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> Pr_Moriarty: come to #ubuntu-discuss please
[11:30] <Pr_Moriarty> ok
[11:33] <St0nkBread> I got it!
[11:35] <St0nkBread> I didn't figure out how to organize it with the cat command, but <!-- for x in {0..9}; do more ./-file0$x; done --> does an okay job of it.
[11:44] <Speiros> Well done, St0nkBread :)
[11:47] <St0nkBread> is there a way to get the path to show up in front of that content when using <!-- for x in {0..9}; do more ./-file0$x; done -->
[11:47] <xtao> can't you just do more *-file0*
[11:48] <xtao> basically the same thing
[11:48] <St0nkBread> I was trying to write it like that, but was getting ambigous errors
[11:49] <St0nkBread> i must've been writing it wrong, or taking the wrong approach, that does the trick in a new way!
[11:52] <xtao> the *s expand so you are running "more file0 file1 file2" and then more takes care of showing you each file one at a time
[11:54] <St0nkBread> your suggestion is nicer to follow, because it ends up looking clean and showing which content belongs to which file
[11:55] <St0nkBread> it does have to go screen by screen tho, where "for x in {0..9}; do more ./-file0$x; done" puts them in a list instantly, but it is not as organized, just listing the content with no other info
[12:02] <Mystified1234> need help. The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security Release' does not have a Release file.... i had the same issue with eoan-updates, i managed it #(REMARK them out) but i've had no luck with this eoan-security
[12:02] <Mystified1234> can you guys help me
[12:02] <Mystified1234> hanks
[12:02] <Mystified1234> thanks
[12:10] <jeremy31> Mystified1234: Ubuntu 19.10?  That is no longer supported
[12:11] <oerheks> as you could disable eoan-updates, you should be able to find the other eoan line too
[12:11] <oerheks> wonky upgrade, if this happens
[12:12] <Mystified1234> jeremy31: i'm aware of that.. yet i still have this ppa
[12:12] <guiverc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[12:12] <Mystified1234> i'm pulling my hair out.. is there away to see if i have a peice of software that is using it
[12:13] <oerheks> its not a ppa, just a repository
[12:14] <Mystified1234> oerheks: as stated ive remarked it out in all the "source lists"
[12:15] <Mystified1234> so what command do i run to remove it.
[12:16] <Mystified1234> there are no non # eoan in the sourc list folders
[12:18] <jeremy31> Mystified1234: you could install inxi and see what inxi -r reveals
[12:18] <Mystified1234> have inxi
[12:19] <oerheks> check /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[12:19] <oerheks> not the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder..
[12:20] <Mystified1234> deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security universe
[12:22] <Mystified1234> oerheks: there is nothing in  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[12:24] <oerheks> good, you found it.
[12:24] <oerheks> have fun!
[12:25] <Mystified1234> but i'm unable to locate the source folder
[12:27] <shibboleth> there appears to be an issue with https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/c/ceres-solver/ceres-solver_1.11.0~dfsg0-2ubuntu0.1/changelog
[12:28] <shibboleth> opencv will no longer build against it

[12:31] <jeremy31> Mystified1234: It is the second from last in /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:34] <shibboleth> is jeremy deray present?
[12:49] <shibboleth> jeremy31, by any chance?
[12:50] <jeremy31> shibboleth: what is the issue?
[12:52] <shibboleth> https://paste.debian.net/hidden/7d96a5fc/
[12:53] <shibboleth> i've cross-tested, the previous opencv commit (from november) doesn't build against current xenial ceres and the urrent/master opencv commit does build against a previous system snapshot
[12:55] <jeremy31> I am not the Jeremy you are looking for
[12:58] <shibboleth> k. is the other guy on irc?
[12:58] <jeremy31> no idea
[12:59] <Speiros> You could send a /query and it will open up a dialogue box with him/her, shibboleth
[13:00] <Speiros> If they're not on, it won't send, or something like that.
[13:00] <shibboleth> yeah, that doesn't do me much good without me knowing their nick, hence me asking if they're even on irc
[13:00] <Speiros> LOL Good point :)
[13:01] <Speiros> I wondered why you asked their name like that.
[13:02] <shibboleth> yeah, i was wondering if i was having a stroke, the logic did not compute
[13:29] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:32] <Speiros> Hi BluesKaj :)
[13:32] <BluesKaj> Hi Speiros
[13:38] <Speiros> Bye all. Have a safe holiday.
[14:28] <ak_> can  have help pls i have ubuntu and when i go to play a video there is just a black screen
[14:29] <ak_> -_-
[14:32] <tomreyn> ak_: providing your ubuntu version, graphics chipset and driver, and any error message when you open the video from a terminal may help people here help you.
[14:35] <ak_> tomreyn, no just a black screen
[14:35] <ak_> bit vage sorry
[14:45] <ak_> nm lol i fixed
[16:37] <bitblit> I installed the fonts-powerline package but it doesn't seem to be working for me. installed it for vim airline.
[16:48]  * luna_ is in the queue to CCC
[16:58] <SAMBAcrzy> howdy yallz
[17:01] <SAMBAcrzy> anyone free to give a chap some troubleshooting advice for a really weird SAMBA authentication issue?
[17:03] <tomreyn> SAMBAcrzy: hi there. chances are i won't be able to help, but make sure you state the details, that's the best (and usually only) way to get a response here.
[17:03] <tomreyn> !details
[17:05] <deadrom> hi
[17:06] <deadrom> 20.04 on thinkpad, had to reboot mid-upgrade, now stuck in endless dm restart loop . where is the maintenance mode? boots directly to graphical.
[17:13] <deadrom> I got it now by heer luck spamming cursor keys on startup and now have recovery but no network. service network-amanger start does nothing
[17:15] <tomreyn> deadrom: indeed, hiotting escape is how you bring up the grub menu. cursor keys usually send a an escape sequence, so they can probably also trigger it.
[17:16] <rfm> deadrom, if you can get to a shell in recovery mode, run "systemctl start multi-user.target" which will get you to a full console-mode session (but not start the dm)
[17:17] <tomreyn> exiting from the emergency menu should also get you there, though
[17:18] <tomreyn> i mean 'recovery', not 'emergency'
[17:18] <deadrom> thanks all
[17:18] <tomreyn> this menu should also provide an option to enable networking
[17:18] <deadrom> heat of the battle
[17:20] <bitblit> the powerline-fonts package doesn't seem to actually contain any fonts. dpkg -L fonts-powerline
[17:22] <tomreyn> bitblit: there's no such package in ubuntu
[17:22] <tomreyn> actually, there is, sorry, i got it wrong
[17:22] <tomreyn> fonts-powerline, not powerline-fonts
[17:23] <tomreyn> https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/all/fonts-powerline/filelist says it contains PowerlineSymbols.otf
[17:24] <tomreyn> you didn't state which ubuntu release you're running
[17:24] <bitblit> 20.04.1
[17:27] <tomreyn> the same applies there
[17:27] <tomreyn> so you should have /usr/share/fonts/opentype/PowerlineSymbols.otf
[17:29] <bitblit> I do, but it isn't working. not sure how it could patch all these font families given its size..
[17:31] <bitblit> I just went through the manual install and it worked.. it installed to my .local but that's fine with me.
[17:31] <bitblit> the ubuntu package definitely does not have the ttf fonts..
[17:32] <tomreyn> does it claim to provide TTF?
[17:34] <bitblit> the instructions from official site recommend he package, so i assume it is supposed to be the same as a manual install. perhaps not.
[17:38] <jje[m]> to get the powerline patched fonts you need https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git

[18:04] <Metamorphosis> Hello.  I have installed a dozen browsers and alternative software for Office, players etc as well as too many games.
[18:04] <superleaf1995> no
[18:04] <superleaf1995> you will have less disk space but your computer will not slow down
[18:40] <Metamorphosis> Thank you superleaf1995
[18:40] <superleaf1995> ok
[18:40] <superleaf1995> np
[19:51] <dionysus69> ugh this is frustrating
[19:51] <dionysus69> why am I not able to disable sudo for user with this ? username  ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl status puma
[19:52] <dionysus69> I put this in /etc/sudoers, save the file but still no luck, doesnt work
[19:53] <llinguini> Hey guys. I'm trying to set up a new system using ubuntu. It's been a while sicne I've used ubuntu and gnome. I am trying to install a new gtk theme, I moved it to .themes and also tried /usr/share/themes but I can't see it in gnome-tweak-tools
[19:53] <llinguini> Any idea how to apply this theme?
[19:56] <seere> dionysus69: what does not work? What do you expect to happen?
[19:57] <dionysus69> seere:  I expect to execute "sudo /bin/systemctl status puma" without password
[19:57] <dionysus69> I did it in that past but it doesnt work for some weird reason
[19:57] <dionysus69> I am sure i am missing a small detail
[20:05] <seere> dionysus69: order matters IIRC. You should have this line AFTER the generic group based one which requires a password.
[20:06] <dionysus69> yea I put it at the end of file
[20:06] <dionysus69> I tried username matchers
[20:06] <dionysus69> also group matchers
[20:06] <dionysus69> still no luck
[20:14] <stompykins> just a quick question... i wrote my own .desktop file for a launcher (soulseekqt, if it matters) and the location of the Exec= and Icon= are on an external HD. id like to keep them there just in case but im just wondering why they dont show up in my menus after running update-desktop-database and even a reboot?
[20:14] <stompykins> i copied the .desktop file to /usr/share/applications first of course
[20:28] <dionysus69> seere: ok I just added the file inside sudoers.d instead of directly editing /etc/sudoers, now it worked
[20:28] <dionysus69> but its weird anyways, it should have worked
[20:29] <seere> dionysus69: Not quite sure where sudoers.d gets included, but congrats to get it working ;)
[20:30] <dionysus69> seere: yea actually that's another strange thing, the line including sudoers.d inside sudoers file (last line) is commented out, but it still worked
[20:35] <seere> dionysus69: it isn't commented out, the keyword is actually named #includedir (the # is not a comment here...). Yes, sudoers has a strange syntax
[20:36] <dionysus69> seere: ok I guess that's it then :) ok thanks anyways and now you know whats up too xD
[21:33] <MarkB2> I have a old PATA hard drive and a computer not having a way to set cylinders/heads/sectors into the BIOS.  Anyone seen a driver for Linux that would accept a C/H/S setting and access this PATA drive?
[21:52] <julius__> hi
[21:52] <luna_> hi
[21:53] <julius__> found a file called swapfile in my home directory with the permissions: -rw------- 1 root root 10G Aug 18  2019 swapfile          but removing it as root says "operation not permitted"
[21:53] <julius__> why?
[21:54] <rfm> julius__, probably because the swap file is in use ("swapon" will list it.)
[22:06] <julius__> alright, i remember. i added that years ago
[22:06] <julius__> crap
[22:06] <julius__> thx
[22:25] <jpmh> I am a HUGE fan of the set -o vi option to bash.  Sometimes when I disconnect and then reconnect I do not get my expected history.  Where is it getting the wrong history from?
[22:33] <slowly_stuck> What's the easiest way to install 4.19 kernel headers on a Focal system? (I'm booting a 4.19.0 because it's a xen guest/domU)
[22:34] <jeremy31> slowly_stuck: get the headers from the same place you got the kernel from
[23:11] <wolfram> Hello, I have Ubuntu 16.04 running embedded in a certain device. This device communicates over the Internet with an Ubuntu 16.04 server. The server NIC's MTU is 9001 (jumbo frame) but the device's MTU is 1500. The device establishes a long running TCP connection to the server ..
[23:12] <wolfram> periodically, the device sends some data, which may or may not be morethan 1500 and the server responds to that with its own data, which is always low hundreds of bytes.
[23:13] <wolfram> I am investigating why packages get dropped between the two systems and I am, unfortunately, unable to use tracepath from the device to the server to learn what the negotiated MTU is.
[23:14] <wolfram> I also do not know what kind of switches or routers are between the two. My question is if I understand it correctly that MTU will be at most 1500 because this is what the device has? Unless something in between chooses a lower value, that is, but for sure not 9000?
[23:14] <wolfram> Thanks :)
[23:14] <jpds> wolfram: MTU isn't used across the internet like that, TCP uses the MSS
[23:15] <wolfram> Hm, MSS, let me educate myself some more in that case ..
[23:17] <wolfram> Alright, I can see what it is, jpds - do you think the negotiated value should be visible in tshark dump captured on the server?
[23:17] <jpds> wolfram: Possibly, I just use `ss --tcp -i` myself
[23:18] <wolfram> I just have a month worth of data and, needless to say, it occurs in about 1% of cases or less but when it does, it is really problematic.
[23:19] <wolfram> (I.e. I need to analyse past data)
[23:20] <jpds> wolfram: I would run mtr from the device to see where the packet loss is actually happening
[23:23] <wolfram> I know, but unfortunately the device is quite locked without access to most commands. But reading about MSS it appears to be MTU less overhead of metadata, so it will be less than 1500 and I just need to find SYN/ACK in the Wireshark dump to confirm it..
[23:23] <wolfram> At any rate, not the jumbo frame.
[23:24] <jpds> Yeah, you need more data, sorry - TCP just doesn't random drop packets like this
[23:24] <wolfram> Of course, nothing is random. At least not in programming.
[23:41] <wolfram> jpds: By the way, I found in SYN/ACK that MSS was calculated to 8961 for the server and reading some more about, this is not a negotiation, rather being an announcement what the max. accepted length of payload is.
[23:41] <wolfram> jpds: Not that it changes anything for now :)
