[05:33] my `chromium-browser` isn't accepting any text input into page/url/window... i've logged out, restarted but no difference. `snap refresh --beta chromium` to try a different version; no change. any clues appreciated [11:23] guiverc, clear the cache of ~/.cache of chromium-browser [11:24] thanks oerheks ... `rm`ing now... [11:25] :-) [11:27] that just increased disk space .5GB ! (2.2gb free increased to 2.7gb) [11:29] alas starting chromium didn't fix issue [11:31] oh :-( [11:32] one could clear the ~/.config folder too, but then you loose all settings/bookmarks/plugins/malware [11:34] thanks, I'll give it a go (the malware sounds interesting...) [11:34] :-D [11:34] no change, and nothing lost - maybe cause it's a snap; it's stored elsewhere.. [11:35] i had this once .. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eakrho2sfpgdvbw/virusaanval.png?dl=0 [11:36] i do have a ~/snap/chromium/ folder so looking there. [11:36] oops, yes, my bad, snaps store their malware there [11:36] err config [11:37] yeah a windows security alert doesn't quite have the same effect when we're not using windoze [11:38] :) on malware err .. [11:39] still looking for my C: drive.. [11:40] my ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache looks huge too, you've given me loads of disk space back here too [11:41] what was 2.2gb free is now 3.3gb [11:42] great [11:42] no keybd yet with cache, next is the malware i guess [11:42] how about the logfiles? [11:43] if they growing fast too.. [11:44] nope; (I omitted Code Cache) .. no go, looking for config [11:54] lost malware, but still no keyboard input :( (but only plus site; 3.6gb of space in $HOME instead of 2.2) [11:54] s/site/side [11:58] oerheks, success !!! (my continual re-load of chromium must have re-introduced issue whatever it was (into cache possibly), I redid some of prior commands (rm cache) & now it's working)... Thanks HEAPS !! (x2; problem solved & I have more disk space to fill!) [12:00] great. still i like to find out what happens so often with chromium browser, is it because of the snap confinement? [12:02] i have no idea, and too tired to look tonight.. (I'm adding back privacy.badger, ublock etc) [12:03] I can't say I like snap; on reboot so often I find it reporting "Restore session?" & it returns to what it was a ~week prior (and never as I close down with a single window; always 4-5 windows) [12:03] "Privacy Badger blocks spying ads and invisible trackers. " nice [12:12] thanks heaps oerheks, nice to have silence with box besides me now off (where I was browsing sites I use chromium with) === leden_ is now known as leden [16:53] Hello. Do I see it right that 20.04 LTS won't be defaulting to Wayland? I only found various news articles, so I wasn't sure how authoritative that is. [17:10] adrian_1908: (as already discussed on #ubuntu) it won't. [17:12] https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=No-Wayland-Default-20.04-LTS is maybe not the best source, you *may* be able to find a better source on blog.ubuntu.com [17:15] tomreyn: Sorry, the large response drowned out your early "no". Yeah, that's one of the articles I read. Was just looking for an informed opinion, as those tend to be more current than articles on some topics. [17:19] adrian_1908: FWIW, the daily builds don't default to wayland (except for gdm), and i've seen ubuntu developers confirming it won't be defaulting to wayland for gnome-shell. [17:23] tomreyn: Nice. I have an Nvidia GPU and need to use proprietary drivers for feature/perf reasons. If the upcoming LTS defaults to- and support X, then I know I have a solid workhorse for the forseeable future. In a few years I can then consider new hardware or a different distro if need be. [17:25] nvidia'S driver situation is probably a major reason why the default isn't changing, yet. sooner or later X will die, though. [17:25] it's already pretty much in bugfix only mode upstream [17:26] where 'already' is ~ 50 years ;) [17:26] actually more like 35# [17:27] 33 for X11 [17:28] :) [20:49] hello folks, i have a trange behavior in Synaptic [20:49] it doesnt let me to uninstal packages due to "broken packages" [20:50] but i have no broken debs! [20:50] uninstall* [20:50] can anyone help me? [20:52] try first: sudo apt install -f [20:52] then run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade [20:52] then try again to remove? [20:53] else; run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade [20:53] oerheks, i did - system is clean [20:53] wwell i run sudo apt full-upgrade [20:53] its the same thing, isnt it? [20:53] that is oke [20:53] can you paste the output when you try to remoe? [20:54] c/remove [20:54] paste.ubuntu.com [20:54] whth synaptic? [20:54] try from terminal? [20:55] ok, well i dont know theexact package name... i try to use * (wildcard) but terminal doesnt seem to allow them [20:56] https://pastebin.com/4vkW3UiX (its in spanish) [20:57] no visit pastebin, thanks [20:57] it needs js [20:57] oh sorry [20:58] here you are - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/5VTktysBhF/ [20:59] that is not the way to remove a kernel [20:59] hm? [20:59] well i did that with previous versions ans no problem [20:59] and* [21:00] sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x-x-generic [21:00] then run update-grub [21:01] after reboot, autoremove [21:01] i have just made it, tried to remove 5.4.0-12 ... and kernel image is still in /boot [21:01] O_O [21:01] O_O [21:02] wtf [21:05] few days ago i triedreinstalling packages && purging, no success [21:06] * oerheks lost interest due to bad language [21:09] few days ago i tried reinstalling packages && purging, no success [21:09] sorry [21:14] ok [21:55] hi [21:55] so because I love to try out new things I did an do-release-upgrade to 20.4 [21:56] nmrp3: Welcome :D [21:56] cheers :) [21:56] so essentially everything works so far except my kde plasma workspace didn't start up - I have a blank desktop with no task bar or anything [21:57] I can start processes with alt-f2, and tab through them, but windows have no borders [21:57] they can be dragged around though - so I have a functioning window manager I guess [21:58] the only other minor thing is that my wireless mouse stopped working, but the wireless keyboard it came with works - go figure [22:03] Running "kstart5 plasmashell" prints out a lot of warnings and errors [22:08] nmrp3: Await here for one who has KDE experience - not me, see then :) [22:13] I think "/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session" may perhaps be to blame? It's got a bunch of error/warning entries in systemctl [22:16] nmrp3: the log file .xsession-errors on your /home may have some hints ? [22:18] mm, loads of "could not connect to relay relay://******" messages [22:18] I'm going to try sddm and see if things boot with that - back in a couple of minutes [22:25] back [22:27] going to try with clean .cache .confg .local and try again ... [22:34] ok - so that hasn't fixed things [22:37] I@m wondering if I should drop down to a terminal, uninstall everything gnome and kde, reboot, then re-install?

[23:28] ain't that the truth
