stacks88yeah00:00
stacks88was gonna say that earlier, thats the route i went with00:00
stacks88it shows all the interfaces and using bash, i can throw in the result from operstate file into a variable and determine which interfaces are up so that seems to work out00:00
chowderBashing-om: any idea when the package issue is going to be fixed? I won't be updating for a ling time00:00
squintystacks88, cool  :-)  i learnt something new checking this out so thanks.00:01
Bashing-omchowder: The "fix" is not to abuse the system . "proposed" -> testing/experimental ( what might be) - get what ya want and get out . The link has the procedure to recover.00:02

anabainafter a regular dist-upgrade in 15.10 to the latest kernel I'm having an initramfs issue and my box won't boot unless I boot using an older kernel. What's going on?00:09
Jordan_Uanabain: Do you see an error message when you have a failed boot? If so, what is it?00:10
anabainno I only see an (initramfs) message and a BusyBox info. Before that I can only see some messages saying 'not able to mount as ext3, and some others with ext2...00:11
anabainJordan_U, ^00:11
Jordan_Uanabain: Please take a picture (for example, with your phone) of the messages you see before the initramfs shell.00:13
anabainJordan_U, the last working kernel is 4.2.0-2200:13
anabainJordan_U, 25 and 27 won't boot, booting process gets stuck at the initramfs thing00:14

anabainJordan_U, btw, I made fsck.ext4 /dev/sdd1 at the initramfs prompt (unmounting /dev/sdd previously) and it says it's clean00:43

endev15Bashing-om, I will note, that this error was only noticed after installing Windows and reinstalling GRUB this morning. I really don't get it though seeing as my HDD is no more that a year and a half old...02:02
endev15Bashing-om, I mention Windows because I just read that there is a "Reallocated Sector Count" which are sectors used by another area of the drive but marked as unusable. I would wonder if this could trigger the error.02:04
Bashing-omendev15: Drives live a hard life, subject to failure at any time . though generally a good drive has a life expectancy of about 5 years in normal usage .02:04

srulimalware on linux? i just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_lhqg_p21k&list=WL&index=36 where he proves that malware on linux does exist (4.30 minutes into vid) can someone debunk his mythbusting vid or do i need AV?02:08

endev15Bahsing-om, Thanks!!02:08
Bashing-om!virus | sruli02:10
ubottusruli: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus02:10
sruliBashing-om: in that video he shows a malware effecting his linux system02:10
sruliBashing-om: it was wierd as the malware files were exe files, i was thinking maybe the application did not run as it was not expecting these files in its dir, can you check that vid from 4.30 minute and give ur opinion?02:11
endev15sruli, It is probably fake. EXE files don't run in Ubuntu anyway unless you have installed Wine. And at that, Wine works terrible (for me anyway).02:12
jakethepythonhello room02:12
jakethepythoni am having trouble trying to make a samba server work02:12
sruliendev15: he shows wine is not installed in his system02:13
srulii need an opinion based on the evidence in that video02:13
srulialso in his vid he talks about UUID vs /dev that with UUId in fstab u cannot take hdd from one pc to another, in ubuntu has this changed from 14.04 to 15.10? i clone hdds the whole time for other PCs, i just spent 2 weeks setting up a 15.10 i need to know if i will be able to clone for other PCs or i wasted my time02:14
endev15sruli, Then it is fake. It is impossible to run EXE files in Linux without some sort of compatibility layer such as Wine. And there aren't many Linux compatibility layers other than full out emulators.02:14
sruliendev15: do u mind taking a look at that vid from 4.30 minute and give ur opinion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_lhqg_p21k&list=WL&index=3602:14
Jordan_Usruli: C# executables are also often .exe files and can run in GNU/Linux. I can also make a bash script that if you ran woudl upload all your files to my server. This is a problem of Trojans rather than Viruses, and is solved by only running programs from trusted sources (the primary trusted source being the package manager / default repositories). Note, I have not watched the video and don't much care to02:15
Jordan_U.02:15
endev15sruli, If you have enabled drive encryption in the Ubuntu setup, you cannot use your HDD in another computer without the key. If it is not enabled then you can. I may or may not be able to look at the video.02:15
Bashing-omsruli: I run an old ATI graphics card, in videos my card overheats and shuts the system down, so no I can not view the vid . Besides ..my opinion, pure bunk , At the least an ..exe us Windows, and that implies wine .. and that implies he should have had antivirus . . UUIDs ARE the way to go . With UUIDs one can transfer drives from other machines .02:16
godfluxHi02:16
sruliendev15: i use luks, as i said until now i never had a problem cloning hdd's and moving to other systems, i want to know if this changed in 15.1002:16
=== Punca2 is now known as Harbinger
endev15sruli, Jordan_U is correct. It is trojans not viruses. The way to protect yourself is not install ANYTHING from untrusted sources. And as Jordan_U says, even though I am terrible with Bash scripting even I could write a script that if you CHOSE to run it, it would upload all your files to my server. It is more of a matter of choice on Linux than a matter of infecting viruses.02:17
endev15sruli, I would watch the video but I am currently on limited cell service and possibly have a failing computer. I will bookmark it though and watch it tomorrow morning around 6:30 AM Pacific Time,02:18
Jordan_Usruli: You should carefully avoid ever having two volumes, be they filesystems or LUKS volumes, with identical UUIDs connected to the same machine at the same time. UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier and any time you have UUIDs that aren't Unique you're risking trouble. A common solution to this is to either A: Not do byte level copies of volumes (instead using tar/rsync/cp) or B: Change the UU02:19
Jordan_UID of the cloned volume immediately after cloning.02:19
sruliJordan_U: not sure i understand, can u please explain?02:20
=== TheMann00 is now known as herpyderp23
srulii only use trusted sources, i know ppa is not supported here, but for 1 machine i am setting up for a new linux user he wants win 10 theme, i found the them at this repository ppa:noobslab/themes i have seen this repository around alot, would u advise not to use as untrusted source?02:21
=== dreadkop_ is now known as dreadkopp_
endev15sruli, I did see the title of the video and who it was by, and after seeing other videos by him I am not sure he is trustworthy. It is the truth that there can be "viruses" on any system, except on Linux it is the case of someone making a virus script, either lying to make you download and run it, or managing to hack your computer which is unlikely.02:22
=== dreadkopp_ is now known as dreadkopp
squintysruli,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware   might be of interest02:22
endev15sruli, I believe noobslab/themes is a OK repository, but always be careful and be ready to pull the power cord of your computer if all else fails.02:22
endev15squinty, sruli, The truth is, unless you allow it, it can be almost impossible to get viruses anywhere.02:23
sruliJordan_U: i didnt notice the first part of ur message about UUID, i understand now, so never used 2 exact cloned drives on 1 system is what u r saying? thats logical would never do that02:23
sruliendev15: i agree, there is no logical way for it to run unless explicitly allowing, this vid made me confused, though, i believe the problem he was having was caused by the app refusing to run with unidentified files in its dir, but i need someone to have a look and tell me if that is the case02:26
endev15sruli, I think that he is faking it trying to put on a show, scare people, and have what he seems to think is fun.02:26

Jordan_Udumbo_000: That depends. The primary reason to have such a separate /boot/ partition is to work around buggy BIOSs that can't handle large drives properly. Another reason is to make it simpler to delete OS partitions without breaking the ability to boot entirely, but for that purpose I would recommend a separate partition just for grub, with /boot/ still being a part of your root filesystem.05:23

dumbo_000is it a good idea to create an extended partition for root,main folder and swap? or i should leave swap in another partition? (I got 4GB ram is it a good idea to make a 8GB swap partition?) can I make all the extended partition with ext4 filesystem,even the swap? or it is better to make an ext4 filesystem for all of the sub-partition of the extended one?05:26

Jordan_Udumbo_000: I'm confused about your end goal now. Are you planning to dual boot with Windows? If so, and if you can't figure out how to install Windows for UEFI, then it's best to install Ubuntu for BIOS as well. Mixing BIOS and UEFI based OSs makes dual booting difficult.06:14

Jordan_Udumbo_000: Assuming that your boot firmware handles large drives properly, which it probably does, and assuming you still want to get this done quickly for now but eventually want a configuration that's convenient for adding and removing many OSs, I would recommend the following: Create an ext4 partition that will be used as a dedicated grub partition but just leave it empty for now. Install Ubuntu all on07:03
Jordan_U a single partition (with maybe a swap partition also, same size as RAM, or you could use a swap file same size as RAM). Then you'll be ready to go, and I can help you setup the dedicated grub partition, essentially like this: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Multi_002dboot-manual-config but with more dynamic scripting when you have more time.07:03

=== Kirk_R2D2 is now known as userone9
BlackDalekhateball, I think so... I can go check the system drive. But why? Should it make any difference if for example host drive is FAT and external backup drive is EXT4?07:48
dumbo_000Jordan_U: i have 4Gb ram but can extend to 8Gb...can i make a 8gb extended partition with 2 4Gb swap sub-partitions,will it work good outside the main extended linux partition (usr and root) ?07:48
fred_hello07:48
hateballBlackDalek: if the blocksize differs and you're copying files of varying size, yes07:49
dumbo_000Jordan_U: making a 8gb swap partition if i currently have 4gb ram will be pointless?07:49
hateballBlackDalek: lets say you have a file that is 6kb and your blocksize is 4kb, then that file will use 8kb of space. See where I am going with this?07:50
hateballBlackDalek: you'll also need to make sure that that external drives partition doesnt have space reserved for root. 5% is the default, and that would make it smaller than 115Gb07:51
BlackDalekhateball, ok... I see that could make file size calculations vary considerably for large amounts. Anyway, I just checked and both the host drive and backup drive are formatted identically, so I am guessing block size should be the same.07:52
BlackDaleknautilus claims the home folder is 115Gb. Backup drive has a partition of 120Gb, no root. Do I need more than 120Gb to backup 115Gb?07:54
dumbo_000Jordan_U: please read when you have time i need some quick help.07:56
Jordan_Udumbo_000: You will likely never need to use swap for normal use with 4 GiB of RAM. Where swap is mostly used today is when hibernating, in which case you need to be able to hold all non-discardable virtual memory in the swap device. That's basically the only reason to even has as much swap as RAM, for most users.07:56
BlackDalekIs there some limitation on Deja Dup where it won't back up unless drive is... say, 20% larger than the folder(s) you are tyring to backup?07:56

dumbo_000ok guys, i need some help with cgdisk. I repeat the partition table i would like to make,more detailed GRUB partition (100mb), Linux usr partition (100Gb), linux Root partition (50Gb) ,EVENTUALLY linux swap (4Gb) -my ram is 4gb. first thing...it looks good to you or maybe i should balance it in a different way?09:26
dumbo_000secon thing it ask me more than i expected, for each partition it ask me to insert certain values, can you help me with this?09:27
dumbo_000First sector (2048-976773134, default = 2048):09:27
dumbo_000Size in sectors or {KMGTP} (default = 976771087)09:28

linux1459cfhowlett: People other than me use the computer. When i tried to log in to Windows today, it said "No Such Partition". In Ubuntu Disk Utility shows that its "Free Space"10:22
cfhowlettlinux1459, the only person who can do that from a logged in ubuntu would be the system admin ...10:22

Ben64andybrine: you're talking about cpu usage being high, you have a slow cpu, that would explain it11:13
DocPlatypuscalimero_82: it's probably a driver issue. the workaround would be to use metacity as window manager for the time being and see if that fixes the issue11:14

Elw3Ben64 andybrine in theory it could be a throttled cpu, say its at 800mhz andt only jumps up when used up to 80% or so, That causes the usage number to be 4 times higher.11:16

han-solohe must've fell asleep :)15:41
cfhowlettson-goku, do this lsb_release -d | pastebinit15:42
Elw3fathom well do this: go to a tty and do xinit soemfilemanger -- :1 this opens the file manager on a seperate x screen. Now try to crash that. IF it is the wm that crashes this shuolt be stable.15:42

son-gokucfhowlett lsb_release -d  shows just Ubuntu 15.10.  and if i put the " | " symbol after -d then it just shows a blank line starting with " > "15:47
Niek_seems the network stuff is configured but after that nothing seems to happen and it just sits there15:47
naccNiek_: is it a particularly slow system? if you're preseeding, it might be going through partitioning, etc15:47
Niek_It's an SSD drive. So I don't think it's slow15:48
naccNiek_: ok :)15:48
naccNiek_: does the installer fail to work if you *dont* preseed?15:48
Niek_also, I don't expect it to hang on partitioning for 10 minutes15:48
cfhowlettson-goku, you can manually edit your sources with        sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list15:48
Niek_No manually installing works fine. I'm just trying to configure preseed so I can use foreman to do the provisioning of ubuntu servers.15:49
cfhowlettI suggest you ## comment out the duplicate entry, save the file, sudo apt update15:49
Niek_nacc: hmpf, for some reason it look a really long time for it to start installing packages. No idea what it was doing but okay.15:59

gabe_h_cuodAnybody here good at multi-boot setups?  Trying to get Ubuntu existing install to boot after adding a 2nd HD to my laptop.20:03
DavidFromBEhello20:04
DavidFromBEufw enabled, only rule is 22:tcp allowed from any, why does host respond to ping ?20:04
tewardDavidFromBE: I don't think UFW blocks ICMP by default20:04
mehnouHi, can someone tell me how to cat a dashed file ?20:05
tewardDavidFromBE: do me a favor, pastebin `sudo iptables -L -n -v` for me, I know you use UFW, but it's a easy to manage frontend for netfilter/iptables so... :P20:05

mehnouHow to cat a dashed file ?20:05
tewardmehnou: 'a dashed file'?20:05
tewardmehnou: that's fairly vague, what do you mean a dashed file20:06
mehnouMaybe It's not the correct name, for exemple a file that starts witg '-'20:06
tewardmehnou: `cat /path/to/-file`20:08
tewardminus the backticks20:08
tewardmehnou: if it's in the same directory you're already in, then cat ./-file20:08
mehnouNot working..20:08
tewardmehnou: "not working" is not a useful statement, by the way20:09

gabe_h_cuodWin 8.1 working on new SSD.  Put old 1TB mechanical HD in the CD / DVD slot.20:09
tewardDavidFromBE: lines 71 through 75 - those are what permit pings inbound to the system20:09
tewardDavidFromBE: 'ping' tends ot use something called ICMP - it's pretty well used for diagnostics and it's by-default ACCEPT'd in the default `ufw` ruleset20:10
mehnouteward : it says 'no such file in directory'20:10
tewardmehnou: then you're not in the directory where the dashed files are20:10
tewardin which case, `cd` into those directories20:10
tewardand then 'cat'20:10

gabe_h_cuodNo UEFI...20:11
mehnoucspack : that is what I did, and it worked :)20:11
DavidFromBEteward: i know about networking/iptables, i'm quite new to ubuntu. After a bit of research, i learnt about ufw so i wanted to use it as it is a distribution specific tool. But it appears it doesn't fit my needs, so i'll probably revert back to a home made iptables script20:12

EriC^^well there's always a better way.. but you could just dd an img there and another image later so you have 2 backups on it21:26
anibuxI've broken everything!21:26
bpromptC_minus:   use something like Clonezilla, the issue with "dd", is that, is copies everything, including unused space, not just the data alone, Clonezilla only copies the data in the partitiion/hdd, besides the partition table and boot records21:27
EriC^^C_minus: like dd if=/dev/sda of="/media/hal9000/My Passport/backup1.img" bs=4M conv=sync,noerror,notrunc21:27
MonkeyDustanibux  start from the beginning, what brings you here, in one line, so you can easily repeat21:27
bpromptC_minus:   so, if you have a partition with 25gbs of data, that is 250gbs in size, "dd" will give you a 250gbs image file, even though 90% of it's blanks21:28
EriC^^C_minus: if you just want it for backing up then just use if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb reason being if the ntfs filesystem goes bad the whole image you had will be lost, that way it's multiple filesystems , you'll the lose space but whatever if it's just for backing up21:30

cellyhas anyone here used Clonezilla Server edition (drbl)21:48
C_minuscelly another clonezilla casualty, join the club.21:48
celly@C_minus: am i better off asking this here or in the #ubuntu-server channel?21:48
delrocasDoes the "amd" in [Ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso] mean it's for AMD processors? Is this iso also for 64-bit Intel processors? Is there only one iso of Ubuntu 14.04.3?21:48
C_minuscelly these guys are good :)21:49
celly@C_minus, ok.  then i'll pretty much just copy and paste my question here, lol21:49
cellywhen i run [drbl-all-service start], i get errors stating that multiple services failed to start (isc-dhcp-server, rpcbind, nis, ypserv, ypbind,yppasswdd,ypxfrd,statd,nfs-kernel-server,nfs-server, tftpd-hpa)21:49
cellywhen i try to pxe boot, i get to the screen where i can make the selection of starting clonezilla or installing centos6 net-install.  i am able to runt he centos6 net-install without any problems, but when i try to start clonezilla, i get an error stating "FATAL ERROR: Failed to mount root filesystem"21:49
cellythis is all being done in a virtual environment (using VMware ESXi 5.1).  the esxi host has 2 NIC cards.  the clonezilla virtual server is utilizing both network cards, one for "internet" access and the other for the drbl instance.  the virtual machine that i am using as the test drbl client is properly located on the same network as the NIC for the drbl instance.21:50

ikoniacelly: thats not really ubuntu's problem21:51
cellyif you suggest i bring this to the #ubuntu-server channel, then i will21:52
LoshkiJordan_U: C_minus: I agree, ddrescue is better than dd if there are errors.21:52
bpromptLoshki:    IIRC it happened because the first "consumer market' 64bit cpus, as opposed to enterprise, were put out by AMD, and thus the original naming used that prefix21:52
ikoniacelly: I'd sugget you not use any of the ubuntu channels for your clonezilla problems21:52
cellywell, the server is running on ubuntu, so i thought that just maybe, someone here might've experienced the same issue and would be willing to help21:52
gabe_h_cuoddelrocas:  I think that came about because of AMD's early entry into 64bit processors.  i think they were the first to market there a long time ago.21:52

C_minusSo I started off with 2 large partitions and 1 small. I presume the bootloader lives in the small one. Win7 goes in the first partition. I put Ubuntu on the second, it overwrites the bootloader with GRUB? So if I remember right, it did a chkdsk or something the next time i booted win7. Then everything was fine.22:16
