[00:33] how did you originally produce or acquire the image? === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill [00:38] I'm currently testing Ubuntu Server 16.04 because of its ZFS integration. Everything works fine and just one thing is bothering me. Compared to Debian, Ubuntu Server is a bit bloated. Is there an advanced install option for the set up of a minimalistic Ubuntu Server? [00:39] !mini | star31416 [00:39] star31416: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:40] For example, I don't understand why mdadm is installed by default. Sure it is necessary for RAID management. However, if one does not use RAID, it is quite pointless to have it installed by default. [00:40] star31416, did you see the mini link I just gave you [00:40] ubottu: A text installer is fine for me. [00:41] thats a bot star31416 [00:41] bazhang: Thanks. [00:41] welcome [00:41] ahh it's a wonderful day [00:42] kode54, i downloaded form a website getting only a .bin.ecm [00:42] they didn't provide any other files? [00:42] Is there any particular difference between the basic server and a minimal install? I thought the minimal version just download the stuff from the internet during the setup process. [00:43] bazhang: ^^ [00:46] bazhang: Oh, it seems that the minimal CD doesn't support EFI. :-( [00:48] akik: thanks x2 - the specific tearing youtube video is perfect for my needs... (and it shows a lot of tearing right now!) thanks for the 2nd time! :) [00:50] f'n tearing... <- i think it's an xorg issue... ymmv [00:53] Hi all [00:53] I have set a root password, and have setup sudo to prompt for the root password. This works fine in the terminal, but every time a gui app prompts me for a password, it accepts my user password, how do I fix this? [00:53] any other files exactly [00:54] Hey everyone [00:55] goose_: hi :) [00:55] I just installed Ubuntu Gnome on my PC, but it loads into compiz, not gnome :( [00:55] I downloaded the GNOME torrent when i was setting it up. How to fix? [00:55] been awhile since I was on linux === BenderRodriguez is now known as Foxhoundz [00:56] goose_: it loads into compiz? [00:56] compiz is a window manager, gnome is a desktop environment. [00:57] Oh well it loads into the default ubuntu DE [00:57] Not GNOME [00:57] http://imgur.com/a/5EP8k [00:57] you select desktops at the login screen [00:57] goose_: gnome3 is a LOT different from gnome2... <- compiz is NOT related to this! at all (only Unity uses compiz these days) [00:57] Oh [00:57] goose_: sounds like you installed vanilla Ubuntu, not Ubuntu gnome... Can you share a screenshot? [00:58] goose_: that's unity [00:58] UNITY! Forgot the name [00:58] Yes, that's unity [00:58] maybe I just forgot to select at menu, I definitely DLd Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 [00:58] ill check 1 sec [00:58] maybe it went into fallback mode [00:58] Lol [00:59] How would one setup a samba printer in ubuntu [00:59] yeah, no option for GNOME, I remember the DEs being next to login name now [00:59] Weird [00:59] i broke 4 of my 5 desktops, so cinnamon wins by a K.O. [01:01] Wonder why it didnt install gnome with it [01:01] You need the Ubuntu gnome ISO for that [01:01] I have it [01:01] Its what I used [01:01] goose_: there should be a cog icon on the login screen for selecting DE's [01:02] Steven_M, Yeah I remember that now, nothing there [01:02] Ill just install it through apt-get [01:02] brb [01:04] Well if the Ubuntu gnome ISO installed the unity desktop... Then it would be kind of noisy here [01:06] i heard someone on a podcast say ubuntu mate is switching desktops [01:06] to whatever solus uses [01:07] goose_: you sure there's no cog next to the sign in button on the password screen?

[01:48] Hi [01:48] I got a question for you smart people [01:49] me too, anyone knows if its possible to install linux over wifi with wubi ? [01:50] I asked for a smart person first!! Haha [01:51] JERiCHO7: wubi is unsupported and unmaintained [01:51] how come? [01:51] how to install from windows then ? [01:51] !wubi | JERiCHO7 [01:51] JERiCHO7: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and Windows, and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [01:51] !install [01:52] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

How does apt-get download packages and do apt-get update? [02:13] Is it http/s? [02:13] http [02:13] i think [02:14] Great.

When I try USB Redirection I get an error "spice-client-error-quark: Could not redirect Apple iPhone....Device is in use by another application" [03:14] RVanguard, are you perchance playing music or file browsing the iphone? [03:15] Hey, anyone knows if it is possible to put old desktop environments on new distros? (i mean, old like 1998 - 2004 old) [03:16] cfhowlett Just trying to connect it. That's all. Downloaded iTunes, just want to sync. Work for Apple so this is somewhat important [03:16] ed_pls, inadvisable and likely to break [03:16] RVanguard, then you already know Apple makes connections difficult and hostile :) [03:17] RVanguard, ps -x and see what you have pointed at that iphone [03:17] ed_pls: define "old desktop" [03:17] cfhowlett hahah! I think it's an issue with my host OS (min install linux) taking 'control' of the iPhone === comgot1 is now known as comgot [03:18] cfhowlett "See what you have pointed..." What does that mean? I apologize, new to Linux, like fourth month using linux. [03:18] RVanguard, one of your processes should ID the iphone connection [03:18] cfhowlett Got it, I'll see what I can find [03:19] cfhowlett I believe it's usbmuxd [03:19] RVanguard, that would be normal === georgeowell is now known as kawaiipunk [03:19] cfhowlett How do I remove this? [03:21] RVanguard, that line starts with a process ID number. kill -9 PID [03:21] why -9 right out of the gate? [03:21] finger memory. [03:22] xangua: i mean "KDE 3" or things like that [03:23] IT WORKED!! [03:23] cfhowlett THAT WORKED! [03:23] cfhowlett Wooo!! [03:23] cfhowlett I'm happy! [03:24] cfhowlett Thank you! [03:24] cfhowlett Sudo killed it and it worked! [03:24] cfhowlett This is awesome! [03:24] cfhowlett This was one of my main concerns with fully adopting linux on all my computers! [03:24] ed_pls: there are people trying to keep alive KDE 3, but that has nothing to do with Ubuntu https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ as for gnome 2, there is officially supported Ubuntu mate [03:26] Oh boy :( [03:27] happy2help! RVanguard [03:27] I am having difficult configuring ufw (firewall). I am trying to deny connections from everywhere except certain IPs on a certain port. I put in sudo ufw default deny incoming, and then sudo ufw allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to any port YYYY but I don't see the deny incoming in the status rules [03:27] RainMan28, check your rules again. you probably encoded a conflict somewhere === maddawg3 is now known as maddawg2 [03:39] My guide says I should use commands with path like this "/opt/eclipse/eclipse" but as I extracted my eclipse.tar.gz it only made me "/opt/eclipse-installer", so should I use "eclipse" in path name or "eclipse-installer"? For example in creating symlink [03:40] I think after installation that eclipse-installer might change its name, but Im unsure of it [03:42] cfhowlett: thank you for helping, does deny from all show up as a rule under ufw status? [03:42] RainMan28, wait 1 [03:42] I've had an apt update go bad. http://pastebin.com/f4edBiBA [03:42] Not sure how to clear it up. [03:45] davido: output says that samba-ad-dc.service is masked. This means that it was configured to be unstartable. Presumably something that was being upgraded depends on this? [03:45] hm. Not sure how I managed to configure samba to be unstartable. I think by that you mean misconfigured preventing it from starting? [03:46] RainMan28, my sudo ufw status verbose returned http://paste.ubuntu.com/23662259/ you can compare to your output [03:47] no. In systemd you can "disable" a service which means it won't autostart but you can still start it manually (or it can be started by something else). When you mask a service you link /dev/null to the unit file. This tells systemd that under no circumstances should it ever be started [03:47] hello everyone === Dolmen is now known as Guest62919 [03:48] cfhowlett: ah that was it, i wasn't using verbose so wasn't seeing that Default: line [03:48] RainMan28, man ufw is your friend [03:48] davido: what do you get if you run ''sudo systemctl samba-ad-dc.service status'' [03:49] err, ''sudo systemctl status samba-ad-dc.service'' [03:49] When extracting for example 'eclipse.tar.gz', I get folder 'eclipse-installer', after installing, does that folder change it's name to 'eclipse', or will it remain the same? [03:49] ● samba-ad-dc.service [03:49] Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad) [03:49] Active: inactive (dead) [03:50] After the security and kernel update I got a dialog after reboot "A new version 0.7.0 of Temps is available." Is this legit? [03:50] Kiryat8, apt search temps will tell you [03:51] davido: it would appear that someone has deliberately disabled it. If you want to turn it back on: ''sudo systemctl unmask samba-ad-dc.service'' but make sure that there isn't a good reason for it being disabled first === maddawg3 is now known as phatephreak [03:56] sudo systemctl unmask samba ends silently, but then enabling gives some spew again about no runlevels aborting [04:00] ubuntu 16.04.01 x86 I cant get resolve dns in dropbear ssh in the initrd. Any ideas ? [04:00] davido@doswald-DX4850:~$ sudo systemctl unmask samba [04:00] davido@doswald-DX4850:~$ sudo systemctl enable samba [04:00] Synchronizing state of samba.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.

[04:02] davido: it was samba-ad.dc.service, and you probably don't need to enable it. Just unmask it and try the apt command again [04:03] err samba-ad-dc.service [04:03] thanks wedgie... [04:06] That didn't improve things -- same error as earleir. [04:06] I apologize for taking your time with it. [04:07] does it matter that I'm sharing one of that system's drives, mounted to another system via cifs? [04:09] davido: still says that Unit file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service is masked." ? [04:10] wedgie: Yes. [04:10] hmm. Well, maybe that wasn't the cause of the upgrade failing at all. *shrug* [04:10] davido: is the IP of your machine 192.168.0.1? [04:11] No, it's 192.168.1.2 [04:12] davido: the error message you pastebinned earlier suggests that it's trying to bind to 192.168.0.1 [04:12] maybe check the config files to see if that is configured somewhere [04:13] what's the issue [04:14] ah, i do see that bind in the output, yes. I wonder what's causing that. My router is on 1.1, and there's nobody on 0.1 [04:15] davido: i'd guess it's somewhere in the samba config [04:16] how can i fix mouse pad (just doesn't do anything)? lubuntu 64bit [04:16] actualy any ubuntu give me that problem [04:16] davido: anyway, i have to hit the road. Good luck [04:17] my smb.conf lists interfaces as 192.168.1/8, so a /8 subnet in 1. [04:17] thanks for your time wedgie. I'll get there eventually. [04:17] well, 192.168.0.1 would be in 192.0.0.0/8 ... kindof an odd thing to have configured though [04:18] h, this may be it... [04:18] interfaces 192.168.1/8 not 192.168.1.1/8 [04:18] the /8 is weird there regardless [04:18] /24 sounds more sane [04:19] i don't know where it came from in the first place, but you are right, a /8 is oddly small [04:19] sorry, oddly large [04:19] this is true [04:21] but still, look specifically for that 192.168.0.1 address in the config. Usually bind addresses are configured rather specifically [04:21] * wedgie goes home [04:21] will do. thanks wedgie. [04:35] ok, another question... in grub: why in:(##GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [04:35] ##GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true) have a "##" before if any screenshot i see does'nt have the "##" ??

LUCID?! [05:27] !lucic [05:27] !lucid [05:27] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support ended on April 30 2015.

[05:37] I'm not the smartest guy by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm also not stupid, and the instructions under !password for "The Other Way" were inaccurate regarding my particular system [05:37] Where should I start looking [05:39] Mannn, "indicators" seems the likely starting point [05:44] Mannn: CPU load indicator shows that, also CPU usage and disk usage [05:44] !define "linux indicator" [05:44] Mannn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:45] Hello!As I'm guessing #ubuntu-doc is dead, where can I report my problem with the !password documentation?

Initially, upon boot it would initiate GRUB and let me choose Ubuntu. Just a couple of hours ago, though, it refuses to give me the boot menu. Goes straight into Windows 10. I've tried disabling Win10's fast boot, I've tried messing with the [06:05] BIOS, with no luck. When I boot Ubuntu through Win10, it actually does load GRUB and it seems to work okay!

[06:19] No no. It was a laptop I bought days ago from an electronics store, and I installed Ubunto 16.04, via USB, right alongside it [06:19] and I hadn't even touched win10 since.

Either that or a "Date Last Used". I'm sure we all have packages we've isntalled and used once then never again, but you dont remember the package name so how would you know. If you open up Firefox a lot, then it's going to have a recent last-executed date along with a high count of how often you execute it. But [06:44] then you can have junk like Brasero and Banshee installed, and you've barely used those, so their used count is low. You see? It would just be a convenient utility to find and determine packages that you no longer need.

[07:20] also uname -r to get your current kernel version number. then dpkg --list |grep linux-image .... listing out the images that come before the one currently in use. [07:20] then sudo apt remove linux-image-xxxxxx for the ones that are old and just taking up space. keep the current and most recent previous ones. [07:24] nice, that's helpful.

[09:10] WeiJunLi: that is really unfortunate you have a lot of options on your commandline [09:11] cpaelzer I was making a basic SIP program. For now I just wanted to send packets from one peer to another connected on my router. So why do I need to have a SIP domain here ? [09:11] WeiJunLi: did you try to drop (most) of them and check if it gets any better? [09:11] cpaelzer: which commands do you mean [09:11] WeiJunLi: of "qemu-system-x86_64 -m '3024' -net 'nic' -net 'user,host=10.0.2.10,hostfwd=tcp::1569-:22' -display 'none' -serial 'stdio' -no-reboot -numa 'node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1' -numa 'node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3' -smp 'sockets=2,cores=2,threads=1' -enable-kvm -usb -usbdevice 'mouse' -usbdevice 'tablet' -soundhw 'all' -hda '/home/runner/gopath/src/github.com/google/syzkaller/tools/wheezy.img' -snapshot -kernel '/home/runner/linux-4.8.0/ [09:11] arch/x86/boot/bzImage' -append 'console=ttyS0 vsyscall=native rodata=n oops=panic panic_on_warn=1 panic=-1 ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu earlyprintk=serial slub_debug=UZ root=/dev/sd" [09:11] I'd at least drop ...

I get a strange message when doing sudo apt-get update: N: Datei »50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist« in Verzeichnis »/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/« wird ignoriert, da sie eine ungültige Dateinamen-Erweiterung hat. [09:14] cpaelzer: the thing is that my main goal is run syzkaller (it's a fuzzer), which needs to use qemu itself, so that qemu config is provided straight form Syzkaller [09:14] WeiJunLi: I mean just try to simplify as much as possible and from there check which option gets you into the problem state [09:14] and i dont have the option to edit all settings [09:15] Adn finally try "another" weezy image of some sorts [09:15] WeiJunLi: I can only recommend what I tihnk has to be done to identify the issue :-/ [09:16] that wheezy image is also generated by a syzkaller's script [09:16] WeiJunLi: well but if it "leaves" the image around you can use it and mofiy the qemu cmdline right? [09:17] WeiJunLi: also one more thing - your call starts at "runner@vm" and you start qemu-system-x86_64 [09:18] WeiJunLi: x86 all too often isn't too happy on 2nd level virtualization - and your login indicates that your "host" might already be virtualized [09:18] cpaelzer: take a look the output when i run syzkaller directly, so you can see the qemu config it auto-generates. http://dpaste.com/1RFFW83 [09:18] I'm not saying that it is not working, but it is error prone soemtimes [09:19] cpaelzer: ye i thought of that, true. [09:19] the machine im trying to run it is already a vm [09:19] not using qemu though, vmware fusion. [09:19] I'd still try to eliminate that for now [09:20] WeiJunLi: umm - your segfaul "appears" to be in sed and such, you sure this is a qemu crash [09:20] WeiJunLi: knowing it is a fuzzer my current theory would be either the complexity of the setup (see my recommendations to simplify) OR maybe it is just fuzzing the wrong stuff [09:20] random segfaults + fuzzer somehow rings a bell in my mind [09:21] gotta be qemu issue, since setting up a qemu vm manually throws the same issue. No fuzzing stuff involved. [09:22] Good, that is one step of simplification on your list [09:23] WeiJunLi: so the following two commands give you a crashing guest as well? [09:23] WeiJunLi: uvt-simplestreams-libvirt sync --source http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily arch=amd64 label=daily release=xenial [09:23] WeiJunLi: uvt-kvm create --password=ubuntu testguest release=xenial arch=amd64 label=daily [09:23] Might need to isntall uvtool-libvirt before you can do so [09:24] btw - what is your Ubuntu release you are running on [09:25] cpaelzer: 16.10 [09:25] guess was wrong idea to use that one.

[09:41] cpaelzer: yeah, i understand. well removed the extra files, but didn't upgrade to the kernel i wanted it to upgrade. === meles1 is now known as meles [09:43] Hello all [09:43] anyone can give me some explains about the script do-release-upgrade please ?

[09:44] I have actually a server ubuntu 14.04.5 and want to upgrade it to xenial 16.05 [09:44] but when I do do-release-upgrade with proxy settings [09:45] it cannot fetch any repos [09:45] but with apt-get update or upgrade, it works correctly [09:45] How can I set proxy parameters for do-release-upgrade ? [09:46] uthng: nice [09:47] uthng: try "export http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:8080" [09:48] brainwash: I have all proxy env variables set [09:48] uthng: I agree to brainwash and if not sufficient you might consider http://askubuntu.com/questions/257290/configure-proxy-for-apt [09:48] I also have proxy params in /etc/apt/apt.conf [09:48] it should pick up the env, but since you have an issue the apt proxy conf might be worth a try [09:48] uh, well thats :-/ then [09:49] thats why I said that apt-get update & upgrade work well [09:49] uthng: could you pastebin your console of the issue with do-release-upgrade ? [09:49] but do-release-upgrade de nada nothing :D === ejbs__ is now known as ejbs_ [09:49] maybe someone here gets an idea looking at that [09:49] cpaelzer: I get all sorts of all ideas [09:49] hehe [09:50] wyoung: I meant useful ideas - I know mankind is full of ideas in general :-) [09:50] cpaelzer: oh. [09:53] cpaelzer: the first uvt command takes a while to give any output or some? [09:54] WeiJunLi: yeah it syncs a daily cloudimage to your disk to then be used [09:54] by the latter command [09:54] WeiJunLi: depends on your downlink speed [09:55] cpaelzer: http://pastebin.com/z9GXjSST [09:56] well my connection really sucks, does it kinda change the kernel config by any means? [09:56] WeiJunLi: no it does not - the commands just are a common way to spawn a kvm guest [09:56] WeiJunLi: and one I trust in for easy verification if in your case everything is broken or more that specific fuzzy-image [09:57] uthng: hrm, that really isn't a lot - I'll set up a proxy and a guest to test that if I can get it doen quickly [09:59] cpaelzer: isnt a lot ?

[10:16] uthng: yeah depending on what they wall of that could be the reason - but even more so is hard to reproduce outside of your environment [10:16] :-/ [10:17] yes, well. I will try upgrading with the classic way hehe [10:17] I like squid [10:17] wyoung: considering your ideas before I assume you mean eating squid :-P [10:17] cpaelzer: grilled [10:18] cpaelzer: and or pinneappled [10:19] as squid risotto it is nice as well [10:19] cpaelzer: minus the risotto [10:19] cpaelzer: useless rice [10:20] oh really, risotto is great in almost all variants [10:20] I disagree [10:20] feel free to do so [10:20] of course [10:21] but [10:21] * cpaelzer goes afk cooking [10:21] sadly neither squid nor risotto around [10:21] I had rissoles, and I drug a hole, it's filling with water [10:23] hi, does someone know why the SHLVL env variable in gnome-terminal is 2 in 16.10? === autra_ is now known as autra [10:26] ptrv: http://askubuntu.com/questions/856532/why-is-shlvl-initially-2-in-ubuntu-16-10-but-not-earlier-versions [10:28] brainwash: the question is not answered there.

[11:11] zzarr: if grub is on the SSD it will be bootable from any computer [11:11] zzarr: just boot off it [11:11] seems a bit of a waste to have an SSD throttled by USB though [11:11] be aware though it won't work with every computer if the coputers are different, especially around video/wireless/networking device [11:11] ikonia, it's a USB3 [11:12] zzarr: still slow [11:12] (compared to SSD performance) [11:12] but anyway, thats all you need to really be aware of [11:13] ikonia, I know, but the guy who will use it have Windows on his computer and is helping in a project [11:14] for the project Ubuntu is needed [11:14] zzarr: ok ? [11:14] ikonia: semi-correct [11:14] wyoung: what now what is "not correct" ? [11:15] ikonia: it was not incorrect but it was entirely correct [11:15] was = wasn't [11:15] wyoung: what was not correct [11:15] ikonia: 80% correct [11:15] ikonia: give or take [11:15] wyoung: what was not correct [11:16] zzarr, you just have to make sure he knows how to change the boot order [11:16] wyoung: please let me know what was not correct [11:16] ikonia: video/wireless/networking statement. It can be made to work [11:16] wyoung: really please tell me how it can be made to work on multiple computers [11:16] ikonia: shotgun approach [11:16] wyoung: please answer with a solution [11:16] not a word [11:17] ikonia: what? stating that something is 80% correct doesn't require a solution does it? [11:17] wyoung: how do you make it work [11:17] wyoung: if you're telling me it's wrong - please explain how you make all hardware work for all computers (specifically around video/wired/wireless) networking [11:18] ikonia: no no, it isn't, it is more right [11:18] wyoung: please explain how you make it work [11:19] ikonia: correctly define the premise first [11:19] wyoung: make a portable usb correctly support all computers, specifcally around video/wireless and wired network devices [11:19] define all [11:20] all possible computers [11:20] are we including computer that ubuntu has recently dropped support for? [11:20] of an x86_64 [11:20] great! I like clarification [11:21] ouroumov, yes, I will make sure [11:24] wyoung: if you know I'm incorrect you should have an answer by now ? [11:24] wyoung: how do you do it ? [11:24] ikonia: you are 80% correct, don't be a pesimise [11:24] wyoung: please tell me how to cover the %20 [11:24] wyoung: I'd advised him of an area to be concerned with / pay attention to, and you're saying I'm missing %20 as it's not a problem [11:25] please explain how to cover that %20 [11:25] ikonia: of course [11:25] go for it === root is now known as Guest7929 === ToAruShiroiNeko_ is now known as ToAruShiroiNeko [11:29] Hey guys, n00b question: I log in to on of my servers via ssh keys. For security, the server_USER has a long password. If I need to run something as sudo, I have to dig up the password in my notes. [11:29] If there a way to authenticate the sudo command with the ssh key? [11:30] Or how do you go about doing something when you have to sudo? [11:32] cc [11:32] tsglove: if you disable password authentication over ssh, you could set your password to something easier, OR.... https://xkcd.com/936/ [11:32] tsglove: the sudo layer is not such a strong protection so you don't need very strong password for it IF: a) you use pubkeys (and you do), b) you limit sudo only to your admin user [11:32] Ahh... that helps "visualize" the situation. Thank you Ben64 and blackflow. [11:33] So suggestions: 0- disable pwd auth ssh, use only ssh-key... then something easier for the password. [11:33] ok. Got a better idea now. [11:34] personally I see no advantage in sudo over logging in as root. there's more hassle with sudo than there's benefit. the key premise of this is, if the threat actor has passed through your pubkey auth, you have far bigger problems than worrying about sudo [11:34] blackflow: ummmm not really [11:34] and with all these zero day priv escalation bugs in linux ecosystem, one does not need sudo to pwn you, once it has shell. [11:35] wyoung: yes really, it's a balance of probabilities, but hey, I don't wanna argue about it, that's just something I do and I offered an opinion. that's all from me. [11:36] but make sure that network exposure of accounts which are able to become or run commands as root is as limited as possible. i.e. don't run a webserver or really any other network accessible services as the user you use to run administrative commands. [11:36] wyoung: got my answer yet ? [11:36] ikonia: Watching TV [11:36] tomreyn: good advice. [11:37] Having a little trouble with cupsd in 16.04 in that the service restarts at 06:25 every morning without fail, rendering pending print jobs unprintable. How can I prevent this service from being restarted every morning? I think something in cron.daily is responsible but that's as far as I got. === morn is now known as Zooklubba [11:40] jc: it may be logrotation. some services need to be restarted so that logrotate can cut the older log file records off to a separate file. [11:41] however, cups would normally retry print jobs which failed in the previous run. [11:42] so you may need to tweak either cupsd's configuration or that of the logrotation ocnfiguration for cups [11:42] I have one or two hold/release queues where jobs are held until released - any jobs held when cupsd restarts disappear when released [11:42] Is it as simple as re-enabling internal logrotating in the config so upstart/logrotate doesn't affect cups? [11:43] * tomreyn would not know, and lacks a depper understanding of cups [11:44] I might look at removing cups from upstart's oversight and just run it without the "on demand" flag, but I'm truly stumped as to the best course of action [12:02] yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [12:04] yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [12:04] hola [12:04] cristian_: please stop that [12:04] perdon [12:04] sorry [12:04] no problem [12:05] cristian_: you're in the ubuntu technical support channel, so if you need help with ubuntu, this is the place to ask [12:05] OKey thanks [12:07] alguien español?

[12:13] waht do you mean by full PATH? [12:14] cristian_, I mean if the actual executable file is in /usr/games/oneko if you run that or you cd into /usr/games and run the executable does it launch? if not what error do you get?

Reprepro requires that the two packages (trusty + xenial) have different versions. But I don't want to keep two copies of the same source code (or two branches) to specify two different versions in debian/changelog. Is there any better way?

[12:38] Well you're not going to update your system using nano, for starters [12:38] lion_: nano is an editor, why do you want to edit "update"?

[12:43] see what ubottu told you above. === maxim is now known as Guest90882 [12:44] hi, I am new to Linux. Wanted to know what are the advantages of Ubuntu or Ubuntu variants over Debian? === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass [12:45] LinuxNovice, in general debian is more stable but contain older versions.. [12:46] ok. Does that make better than Ubuntu or is Ubuntu is better than Debian? [12:46] depends on your preference [12:47] that's for you to decide. [12:47] What are the possible problems or issues users might face while using Ubuntu because of it being not as stable as Debian? [12:48] I have used Ubuntu variants like Lubuntu and Xubuntu, didn't notice any significant issues. [12:49] But, as I said above, I'm a beginner in Linux. [12:49] Well, debian is slightly more complicated to use, in that it doesn't do graphical installers, or as many GUI interfaces [12:49] i'd say if you stay with ubuntu LTS you are getting very close to debian stability, and may even get newer software versions. [12:50] LinuxNovice: sometimes problem arise that, say, prevent boot, and require you to know the boot process and where to fix the issue, if it's fixable. [12:50] this can happen on both systems, and is equally unlikely with stable releases on both systems [12:50] Debian would require you to have a decent knowledge of the commandline, knowing where config files are, and how to adjust them manually [12:51] tomreyn: unlikely and yet it's currently happening if you use nvidia driver and happen to have encrypted root. [12:51] the actual problem in that is that it's been many weeks and NO fix from Canonical. [12:51] LinuxNovice, if you truly want to learn and use linux, choose ONE distro and use for a long enough time to study and learn it! You have been asking "what's better, this OS or that OS?" for the past few weeks. choose a lane. [12:51] blackflow: yeah if you use proprietary software things can get complicated [12:51] ok. Does that mean for a newbie like me who has switched from Windows, Ubuntu is more suitable? [12:52] tomreyn: doesn't matter, it's officially supported by Ubuntu, so... :) [12:52] hey, just saying, it's not all flowers. sometimes you have to dig deep. [12:52] even then I'd still recommend Ubuntu over Debian. [12:52] Yes, use Ubuntu for a while. Get used to the foibles of using linux, and don't be scared of the terminal or commandline. learn where files are, and about the filesystem [12:53] In Windows the users have little confusion in choosing which version to choose from. But, the number of distros in Linux is so overwhelming. [12:54] Ubuntu is a good place to start in the linux world [12:55] Its simple, and has GUI's for ost things. X rarely if ever crashes [12:55] Can we rely upon the page hit ranking in Distrowatch.com to choose a suitable linux distro? [12:55] NO [12:55] heh no [12:55] LinuxNovice, thus the suggest to choose one and test it. [12:55] Distrowatch is a shill site [12:55] I am using a Ubuntu variant now. [12:55] then why are you asking about others? [12:55] Just stick with what you have and make it work for you. [12:56] Hi [12:56] hello there [12:56] also, remember - you can install ANY desktop/window manager on that version of ubuntu, so if you feel uncomfortable with the UI for any reason, simply install another WM [12:56] I was just curious to know. I can expect to get some useful inputs here in choosing a suitable distro. [12:57] that's great. [12:57] what's the difference between WM and Desktop? [12:57] im trying to set up sssd with ubuntu desktop using the ad id_provider. for debug purposes i ran ping domain.tld, which responds: ping: unknown host domain.tld. Is this normal at ubuntu? [12:57] You essentially have Ubuntu already, the differnce in the varints is just the desktop they use [12:58] ok. [12:58] as i read, ubuntu uses the networkmanager to setup dns managemnt instead of resolv.conf [12:58] difference between Desktop and WM? [12:58] snooops: actually uses systemd-resolved, at least last two versions. which ubuntu are you on? [12:58] 16.04 [12:59] a Window Manager does just that - ONLY handles the windows and their frames. A complete desktop environment includes theme specific apps, and a complete look/feel to the UI [12:59] snooops: and domain.tld does not exist in public dns? [12:59] domain.tld is my active directory domain [12:59] I hate Ubuntu's task switcher! it's the worst. :/ [12:59] snooops: you can add it to /etc/hosts [12:59] I meant Unity's sorry [12:59] nope, those are notebooks ;) [13:00] snooops: sorry? [13:00] considering installing Gnome now [13:00] i dont like to add hosts entries if i have a working dns server [13:00] so, DE is more comprehensive that WM? [13:00] yes [13:00] snooops: ah I see so you have to add the dns server to your network config? [13:01] every other os is handling the resolving of domain.tld correctly: Active Directory round-robin entries. just ubuntu dont like to ping those [13:01] DE's are XFCE, KDE, Unity, and GNome [13:01] how can I install a DE on Ubuntu of its variant? [13:01] the dns server are pushed correctly by dhcp to the client [13:01] what is the most appropriate method? [13:01] use aptitude, and search for the DE of your choice, or the software centre [13:02] apt-cache search keyword [13:02] How do I disable the unity search bar or tell it not to try to grab the alt key? [13:03] snooops: can you confirm that your client can resolve domain.tld against the dns IP? dig domain.tld @your.dns.ip.here [13:03] ok. that's great. Can I install Enlightenment DE on Ubuntu. It is suggested as a lightweight DE> [13:03] yip thats working [13:03] snooops: also check systemd-resolve domain.tld [13:04] yes you can. Search the software centre for it [13:04] ah kk [13:04] ok. [13:04] and is LXQT compatible with Ubuntu, Lubuntu or LXLE? [13:05] yes to all of the above [13:05] Great. [13:06] I have ubuntu installed with gnome, KDE, XFCE, and Openbox installed, and just relog and switch desktops when I feel like it. [13:06] and can we install any windows application on Ubuntu through Wine? [13:06] blackflow: yep its working too [13:06] https://nopaste.me/view/4670c8be [13:06] thats the response [13:06] !wine | LinuxNovice [13:06] LinuxNovice: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [13:06] snooops: but you can't ping it? [13:07] No, there are some massive incompatibilities with WINE [13:07] snooops: literally "ping nf.local" ? [13:07] or is there a limit to what kind of windows apps that can be installed on Wine/ [13:07] ? [13:07] blackfow: yes: ping: unknown host nf.local [13:07] LXQT ? :) that's the new fork, right? [13:07] LinuxNovice: Yes, check the AppDB [13:07] yes there is. A lot of windows games won't run on wine currently, especially those tht use Direct X 11 or above [13:08] Wine only supports upto DX9 with any stability [13:08] Wine sucks. :D [13:08] Good thing we have thousands of native games then :) [13:08] snooops: that sounds like a bug I hit recently.... say, when you "dig nf.local @your.dns.ip.here" is there a "Malformed message" line at the top of dig output? === Ard1t is now known as Guest86350 [13:08] Yeah, linux has an app for almost everything [13:09] hateball: 3000+ and counting, on Steam :) [13:09] and has a massive amount of games, including a decent library of AAA titles [13:09] blackflow: nope, no Malformed mesage [13:09] snooops: then I don't get it, it resolves, but can't ping.... what does "host nf.local" say? [13:09] snooops: returns the IP, or errors out? [13:10] blackflow: all valid ips [13:10] I don't want games. Just want to install some apps that run exclusively on Windows. [13:10] snooops: try "systemctl restart systemd-resolved" and then try ping again? [13:10] such as? [13:10] photoshop :) [13:10] Adobe Acrobat PDF reader. [13:10] I would bet there are linux alternatives [13:10] Linux has some good PDF readers [13:11] blackflow: nope, same error: unknown host [13:11] better than Adobe Acrobat in a couple of cases [13:11] nobody here running sssd on ubuntu 16.04 with an active directory? [13:11] Okular is pretty sweet [13:11] snooops: did you choose .local as your local / AD TLD? if so, bad choice. [13:11] I am not able to open some pdf files on Ubuntu. They ask for password. But, they open with Adobe reader. [13:11] tomreyn: wasnt my idea… but yes i know [13:11] I have used Okular also. [13:11] snooops: I was about to suggest you try another tld, that .local sounds like a reserved told [13:12] *tld [13:12] hhgg [13:12] But, strangely, on Sparky Linux, by using qpdf reader, I am able to open them. [13:13] so instal qpdf reader on ubuntu then [13:13] But, here in Ubuntu, the same files ask for password. [13:13] Even with qpdf reader. [13:13] its probably a setting somewhere. I am not familiar with it myself [13:14] I have installed every pdf reader available on Ubuntu app store. They still ask for password. [13:14] i will have a look at this, thanks [13:14] ah, maye it needs your userpassword [13:14] snooops: you could also put systemd-resolved in debug mode and check the journal as you try ping === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [13:15] snooops: but then, that probably won't show anything since resolving with it directly works. [13:15] I was able to open these files without password on my android tablet also. [13:15] yeah, its a file permissions problem [13:15] snooops: still, you can check what's going on [13:15] snooops: so you know this, i guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local#Microsoft_recommendations [13:15] blackflow: i will setup a test ad and try this again [13:15] the password will be your user or the root password [13:15] With Adobe reader, I dont have any problem. [13:16] blackflow: if its really that .local stuff, i have opened pandora's [13:16] ok. I'll try that and see. [13:16] well no, becuase its reading the files in way that doesn't require admin level access [13:16] snooops: at the moment, if you can't ping, then I'd look into name resolving as the primary issue [13:16] It must have something to do with where the files are being rad from [13:16] read [13:17] if its a separate device such as a USB stick, then its most likely mounting the stick without full read/write perms [13:17] I tried with root password also. It still asks for the password. [13:17] I didn't have this problem in Sparky linux. [13:18] no, its a file mounting problem [13:18] The file is copied on the HDD. [13:18] Other files on that HDD can be read. [13:18] It is mounted. [13:18] ccccccccccccccc [13:18] I've never even heard of "sparky linux", and I've been using it for 20 years [13:18] It is debian based distro. [13:19] I'm not sure what to suggest, but it does sound like a permissions problem [13:20] somebody highlighted me? [13:20] I have this problem on Linux Mint also. [13:20] when ubuntu reads them, it decides you don't have permission to open them, so asks for a password [13:20] Linux mint is essentially Ubuntu remixed -.- [13:21] but, other pdfs are readable without any password. [13:21] only a few pdf files ask for password. [13:22] and these same pdf files are readable on Sparky Linux without the need of any password. [13:22] so some security updates not get installed with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade? How come I sometimes get an alert after running that and even after it is not showing any needed updates [13:22] so, look at them in the file manager, and see if they have permissions set differently [13:22] so = do [13:22] Bonzodog, how? [13:22] Marco, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will grab all updatables [13:24] thanks cfhowlett [13:24] I can't remember how to set/check it right now, and I am not currently booted into Ubuntu, as I am dual booting Ubuntu with Windows 10 fast preview [13:25] happy2help! Marco [13:25] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:25] oops [13:25] lol [13:25] :) [13:25] this is not terminal is it [13:25] lol [13:26] hello i have trouble updating ubuntu [13:26] laura_, details? [13:28] eventhough my computer is connected to internet it says it fails to download package files [13:28] hi [13:28] and that i need to check internet connection [13:28] laura_, from the terminal? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | pastebinit [13:30] ok i think its updating [13:31] paste the url here [13:31] waiting for finish [13:32] I didn't get any solution to my query [13:46] Hi [13:47] Hi people, it's me again, my DNS resolution still does not work... I reinstalled resolvconf and upgraded all my packages, but I still cannot resolve webadresses and such... [13:48] Could someone tell me what is wrong with my Ubuntu computer that causes only this computer to have trouble with DNS resolution? [13:48] before I updated from 14.04 to 16.04.1 everything was fine, but now it doesn't work anymore [13:49] nejm: how do you test / what makes you think name resolution does not work? [13:49] Hi all [13:50] nejm: i don't doubt what you're saying, just trying to understand it better [13:50] tomreyn: sure, I'm glad you're helping! [13:50] I asked this sort of the same question yesterday and we concluded it was the DNS [13:50] cpaelzer: I found it. There is a "bug" in do-release-upgrade [13:51] in the cache phase, the script does not handle proxy ! It use proxy param laters [13:51] I have just hacked the script and all work now [13:51] tomreyn: if I type nslookup ubuntu.com I get 'Non-authoritative answer:' and the browser won't load [13:52] nejm: getting a non-authoritative answer is fine. do you get to resolve it, though? [13:52] tomreyn: how do I test that? [13:53] i.e. does "nslookup ubuntu.com" retunr an ip address? [13:53] ah yes, it does [13:53] nejm: can you show the output it generates, using this: [13:53] !pastebin | nejm [13:53] nejm: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[13:54] good point, sorry [13:55] !pastebinit [13:55] :~$ nslookup [13:55] > ubuntu.com [13:55] Server: 127.0.1.1 [13:55] Address: 127.0.1.1#53 [13:55] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [13:55] Non-authoritative answer: [13:55] Name: ubuntu.com [13:55] nejm: too much output. please dont paste multi-line texts to the channel. [13:55] maybe better doing 'dig +short ubuntu.com' [13:56] what does "nslookup ubuntu.com" return for "Address"? [13:56] 91.189.94.40 [13:56] so name resolution works for this hostname. [13:57] can you ping it? ping ubuntu.com [13:57] press ctrl. after a while [13:57] press ctrl-c after a while [13:57] tomreyn: ping: unknown host ubuntu.com [13:58] nejm: okay so your glibc resolver is not working correctly for some reason. [13:59] the weird thing is that nslookup ubuntu.com suddenly gives me this: ** server can't find ubuntu.com: REFUSED [13:59] nejm: does "systemd-resolve ubuntu.com" return an address? [14:00] blackflow: it also says the connection is refused [14:00] nejm: that IP, that nslookup returned, that's for Server: line? [14:01] blackflow: no, it was the Address: line [14:01] nejm: and what's in the Server line? [14:01] Server: gave me 127.0.1.1 [14:01] this is the same address as the one in /etc/resolv.conf [14:02] this is supposed to be my DNS server right? [14:02] nejm: yes, so next question, is that dhcp and is dhcp setting upstream NS resolver? [14:03] blackflow: I don't really understand your question, what is dhcp? It is similar to DNS right? [14:03] I'm sorry but I know very little about networking... [14:04] nejm: do you manage your internet connection using network manager, the little icon on your desktop's panel which ubuntu provides? [14:04] tomreyn: No, I didn't use any GUI I believe [14:04] nejm: wait, I'm looking up how to push systemd-resolved into debug log level so you can pastebin that... === FouseyIsGod is now known as GodIsFousey [14:05] blackflow: I cannot reach the pastebin website, the best I could do now is to send it to you personally [14:05] pastebin won't work for him without name resolution, though [14:05] yes exactly [14:06] and !pastebinit doesn't work for me either, I just got muted for accidentaly posting multiple lines xD [14:06] you can force a temporary ns, put nameserver 8.8.8.8 into /etc/resolv.conf [14:07] this should work (termbin.com): echo test | nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [14:07] blackflow: ah yes of course [14:07] I can pastebin again [14:07] eidting resolv.conf will make it difficult to debug this issue. [14:08] editing /etc/hosts is probably a better approach [14:08] tomreyn: I can replace 8.8.8.8 back to 127.0.1.1 again if that is necessary [14:09] that was the address in /etc/resolv.conf at boot [14:09] blackflow: What output did you want me to post again? [14:10] nejm: first, stop the resolver, "sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved" [14:11] blackflow: I did, and then? [14:11] I also changed /etc/resolv.conf back to the original address btw [14:12] but I can change it to 8.8.8.8 again in order to paste it [14:12] nejm: then run it like this "sudo SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved" note: this will produce a lot of output in your terminal [14:12] nejm: yes, comment out that nameserver entry for the test [14:12] blackflow: shall I pipe it in less then? [14:13] nejm: no need, the idea is to try eg "ping ubuntu.com" in another terminal and see what errors will systemd-resolved produce [14:13] nejm: if that's inconvenient, you can force that SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL on the systemd-resolved unit file and use journalctl to output to a file that you can pastebin [14:14] ping says unknown host ubuntu.com [14:15] right, and that first terminal, where you run systemd-resolved, should show you how the resolution went, which IP was queried and what the response was [14:15] anyone got complaints about a chromebook? [14:16] blackflow: this is the output from the first command you gave me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23664088/ [14:16] mmlj4: not really anything to do with ubuntu [14:16] correct [14:16] so not really anything to do with this channel === jz is now known as Guest60360 [14:18] Hi, I gave specific permissions to two testfiles and logged in as one of the two users, I cannot read the file, but I can move it, is this supposed to be possible? https://paste.ubuntu.com/23664095/ [14:20] blackflow: Do you have any idea what could be wrong? [14:21] rhagu, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20948946/permissions-required-to-move-file-to-different-directory-in-unix-linux [14:22] Hello guys, I am considering the options I 've got about encrypting a whole (new) partition. The current setup I have is an installation of ubuntu 16.04.1 on 2 different partitions (one for / and another for /home which was encrypted during the installation process) along with 1 partition for swap and another empty (the one that I want to encrypt). What are your suggestions about the way should I proceed? [14:23] Right now I am considering about using dm-crypt to encrypt the whole partition, are there any other considerations, serious options as alternatives? [14:23] nejm: sorry I was on the phone, I need that output, but when you hit "ping ubuntu.com" in the other terminal [14:23] nejm: I wanted to see what the resolver will say about resolving ubuntu.com [14:23] jeystm: it depends on what you want to achieve by using encryption [14:24] nejm: although I'm suspecting that what's going on is your upstream DNS resolver is misconfigured if it returns REFUSED when asked for ubuntu.com [14:24] I am using a laptop, so I want every data on it would be encrypted in case of theft or anything similar. [14:24] wafflejock, so my mistake was to try it in the same directory, right? [14:24] jeystm: I always encrypt my roots. primarily in case the drives get stolen [14:25] rhagu, well basically permissions of doing things with the files in a directory is based on the directory permissions [14:25] my advice: encrypt everything, because anything unencrypted can be used against you [logs, libraries, tools, configuration options] [14:25] With security first in my mind, but also usability as I want to be the files on the new encrypted partition seem like a true mounted partition [14:25] blackflow: haha I altready thought you were busy or something, the command 'nslookup ubuntu.com' indeed gives refused [14:25] jeystm: simplest thing is encrypt root and be done with it. the installer can do it, you need separate /boot, and a LUKS container partition, inside which you'll either do single root, or run LVM to have multiple partitioning capabilities of the encrypted space [14:26] So whats the way you suggest I should go? [14:26] blackflow: ping simply cannot reach ubuntu.com [14:26] oh right [14:26] jeystm: simplest way: fresh install of ubuntu, full encryption [14:26] nejm: and systemd-resolved is listing exactly what it does to get the addr of ubuntu.com so can you pastebin that? [14:26] https://thepasteb.in/p/P1hv8QyxmJ5Sl "VirtualBox" [14:26] blackflow: just systemd-resolved? [14:26] I mean as command? [14:27] Why encrypting / is so crucial tho? Are there only system files saved in / ? [14:27] nejm: no, you need that SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug environment variable [14:27] jeystm: i'll say this again: my advice: encrypt everything, because anything unencrypted can be used against you [logs, libraries, tools, configuration options] [14:27] blackflow: I just sent it, the url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/23664088/ [14:28] nejm: yes but I need its output when you run ping ubuntu.com in another terminal [14:28] is this it? [14:28] I see no "ubuntu.com" queried in that output [14:28] jeystm: having openvpn installed is a crime in some countries - an encrypted home directory isn't going to help you there [14:28] What about affected performance, since my laptop isnt so strong? There will be hassles? It has only a B960 2-core [14:29] jgabor: there is overhead at encypt/decrypt time [14:29] blackflow: so I have to ping in one terminal and at the same time run that large command you gave me in another? [14:29] jeystm: performance will be worse when using encryption, this is correct [14:29] nejm: first you run that large command, it starts the resolver "manually" so you can observe whats' going on. then in another window you ping ubuntu.com, then you check in that first window the output about resolving ubuntu.com [14:29] yeah thats what I thought. [14:30] blackflow: aaaaah I see [14:30] nejm: and all that while the default "systemd-resolved" service is stopped of course [14:30] to be honest mukluks I really care about personal stuff, not so much about configs or system logs [14:30] I already stopped that service a while ago [14:30] blackflow: I'll stop it again just to be shure [14:31] jeystm: don't underestimate the privacy risks of not protecting your metadata [14:31] jeystm: full disk encryption will not slow things much on modern systems, especially with the 'aes'(-ni) cpu flag and with an ssd. you can use the dmcrypt benchmark option to check which encryption mechanism is best suited for your system. [14:31] but hey, if you cared about privacy that much we'd be discussing this in #qubes [14:31] I don't and I see your point, you are very right about it. [14:32] tomreyn I am using a laptop with a Pentium B960 2-core along with a 5400rpm HDD, full disk encryption won [14:32] wont slow it? [14:33] jeystm: why do you want encyption [14:33] genuine question [14:33] I already answered [14:33] what are you trying to protect that is "that" secret [14:33] jeystm: note, "full disk encryption" usually means encrypting /boot as well. that's a manual process, the installer can't doing on its own afaik [14:33] sorry - I missed that answer, what is it ? [14:33] blackflow: It is very weird but all of a sudded pinging works, the debug output does not change, do I need to stop the pinging? [14:33] its a laptop with a lot of travel going on, I want my personal stuff stay so in case of a theft [14:33] jeystm: sure, it will slow it in every configuration. in your case it will likely be quite noticeable. [14:33] nejm: yes, you just needed first few packets to get the resolving [14:33] jeystm: so just encypt a directory instead ? [14:34] jeystm: and being honest (I don't know - I'm asking) is your personal stuff needing that level of protection [14:34] Thats actually why I am discussing it, if they werent I wouldnt be here [14:34] nejm: so then revert back to running systemd-resolved as a service. close that big command down (Ctrl-C) and systemctl start systemd-resolved. does resolving ubuntu.com work now? [14:35] I think encryption is fundamental and should be everywhere. I know there would be compromises such as performance for instance, thats why I want your opinions about it [14:35] if you have ANY personal data on those drives, mails, documents, anything, it's worth encrypting [14:35] even the browser cache is worth encrypting [14:35] I couldn't agree more with blackflow [14:35] so basically, unless you're using your computer in kiosk mode with zero personal things going on, encrypt it. [14:36] nah [14:37] blackflow what about creating a large veractypt file vault, lets say about 400GB (instead of partition) and decrypt it every time I log on and have it mounted permanently? [14:37] there was a research on personal data leaked through re-sold drives on ebay and friends. it's apaling what you can find there. [14:37] jeystm: how much data ar eyou actually trying to protect here ? [14:37] jeystm: no idea. I always do luks based encrypted root, lately even FDE with encrypted /boot. [14:37] blackflow: I used sudo service systemd-resolved start because systemctl didn't work, and I test resolution by 'nslookup ubuntu.com' right? [14:38] Ideally I would like every partition except / to be encrypted. But I guess I could narrow down the files that I ll keep in the [14:38] "vault" [14:38] nejm: systemctl didn't work? are you sure? it has no output [14:38] jeystm: every partition ? [14:38] jeystm: how many partitions do you have [14:38] "Hello guys, I am considering the options I 've got about encrypting a whole (new) partition. The current setup I have is an installation of ubuntu 16.04.1 on 2 different partitions (one for / and another for /home which was encrypted during the installation process) along with 1 partition for swap and another empty (the one that I want to encrypt). What are your suggestions about the way should I proceed?" [14:39] * DArqueBishop shrugs. [14:39] Hiya, sorry I am new to VirtualBox - just trying to get it installed for derivatives & I got this screenshot for a Beta image last time: https://imgur.com/r/VirtualBox/BPWYBXu Do I need to install 'VirtualBox' Extensions ? If So = how ? [14:39] blackflow: it gave me a pop-up and "Failed to start systemd-resolved.service: Connection timed out" [14:39] jeystm: so you even want to encypt an empty partition ? [14:39] I'll try it again [14:39] the size of the disk is 1TB, the 3 partitions take up something about 100GB the rest is left for the new partition [14:39] any empty partition that would be filled soon with my personal stuff [14:40] jeystm: would it not be easier to just keep your data on /home and just encypt /home [14:40] rahter than make it more complex [14:40] and less work to decrypt and manage [14:40] nejm: do it again and then pastebin the output of sudo journalctl -u systemd-resolved.service -n 100 [14:40] To be fair, if it were a personal laptop used for business or a cmpany-owned laptop, there may even be legal reasons for encrypting the disk. [14:41] I am not currently trusting so much ecryptfs thats the reason I turned down the option of that. but with LUKS that changes I guess [14:41] There are definitely strong legal and business reasons for fully encrypting any business laptop [14:41] jeystm: no matter what encyption method you are using, it just seems sensiel to encypt a single partition rather than stuff that you don't care about [14:41] blackflow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23664211/ [14:42] sensible even [14:42] there is another issue also [14:42] I might wanna proceed in the future with dual boot, for example with Ubuntu and Fedora [14:42] nejm: that's last of it? [14:42] nejm: looks like it works? what does systemctl status systemd-resolved say? [14:42] jeystm: even more reason to just do /home [14:42] yes, that's all [14:43] jeystm: i think you need qubes [14:43] using a seperate partition that constantly is encrypted and only personal stuff is in there, affects none the partitioning of future /home partitions or / or anything [14:43] for several reasons [14:43] jeystm: no it doesn't [14:43] jeystm: just share the /home [14:43] then you can partition up the disk for the other dile systems dynamic [14:43] the only thing you need is the key for /home [14:43] I like the idea of cubes mukluks, but as I said I am worried about my CPU role on the smoothness [14:43] Question: sorry I am new to VirtualBox - just trying to get it installed for derivatives & I got this screenshot for a Beta image last time: https://imgur.com/r/VirtualBox/BPWYBXu Do I need to install 'VirtualBox' Extensions ? If So = how ? I could do with a hand? [14:43] CoderEurope: for derivatives ? [14:43] blackflow: it seems OK, there is a green circle and it says it has been active for six minutes [14:44] nejm: so, can you ping ubuntu.com now? [14:44] ikonia, Need help with Virtual Box on Unity Ubuntu 16.04 [14:44] blackflow: no... it still doesn't regonize the host... [14:44] jeystm: at some point you run up against the harsh reality of encryption/segregation performance overheads and useability [14:44] CoderEurope: so whats the derivative [14:45] ikonia another thing I don't like so much is using my login password to a distro as encryption for everything. [14:45] Ubuntu Mate [14:45] blackflow: I am so happy someone is helping me because I have no idea what is going on if I see all this output and all xD [14:45] I prefer keeping some stuff seperate than other [14:45] jeystm: got to be honest, you're just putting obsticals in the way of anything usable, so I suggest you just do what you want as you are changing the requirement [14:45] * mukluks agrees with ikonia [14:46] No I don't, I am just helping you understand my feelings, thoughts and find something that feets my needs. Otherwise googling about those stuff is enought [14:46] enough* [14:46] thats why I came here [14:46] jeystm: I don't think you want something usable [14:46] fits* [14:46] nejm: at this point I have no idea what's going on either, because running it manually works, but running it as a service doesn't. [14:46] omg feets xD [14:46] !VirtualBox [14:46] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [14:46] CoderEurope: so whats the derivative [14:46] ikonia I told you Ubuntu Mate [14:46] codereurope: looks like a refresh issue. yes, you can try to install vbox extensions [14:47] ikonia you cant accept the fact that I want to encrypt a seperate partition *alone*? is that what you are saying? [14:47] Quetzalcoatl: how to do that ? [14:47] CoderEurope: then what's ubuntu unity got to do with it ? [14:47] jeystm: not at all [14:47] thats the base OS [14:47] and encrypt/decrypt it anytime I want? [14:47] with the strong encryption algos I want to choose? [14:47] nejm: one thing you can do is put Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug in the [Service] section of /lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service [14:48] cc [14:48] because I cant have both strong encryption and performance in that laptop, thats why I dont want my OS to depent on the encryption of the partition [14:48] I'm trying to run a game, but it says snd_oss.so is missing, what package do I need? [14:48] nejm: that way you can use the resolver as a service, and look at debugging output (and pastebin it) via journalctl -u systemd-resolved.service [14:48] jeystm: I'm saying you want to use an encyption method that doesn't stress your machine too much, gives you ability to dynamically change partitions as your needs change, has a different password than the login, will be compatible between mutliple distros, straightforward to manage and secure is not really something that you're going to get [14:48] nejm: don't forget to remove that Environment=... line from that file later [14:49] codereurope: start your vm first. second from Virtual Box window select Devices menu and click on Insert Guest Additions [14:49] nejm: or even better, copy that file over to /etc/systemd/system/ so you don't mess with system files directly [14:49] ikonia so using dm-crypt and encrypting that given partition is not an option for example? [14:49] okay Quetzalcoatl [14:49] jeystm: thats a metadevice encyption thats not going to allow you to resize your partitions [14:50] I already said I want to encrypt a specific partition only that would not be resized [14:50] jeystm: yes, but that locks your partition table before / after the disk [14:50] before / after the patition sorry [14:51] codereurope: then in the file manager you have to select the Guest Addition and run VBoxLinuxAddition.run [14:51] hi guys, I have a more general Linux question:) but it is an Ubuntu that I run; I use a Juniper to scp a log to an Ubuntu machine; the result is a file that has the rights 600 for example; On the Ubuntu, I tried: changing .bashrc and setting an umask, changing the /etc/pam/sshd and setting an umask all to no avail, the file remains 0600. Anything else that I might be missing or doing wrong? Can I really not get the file to be made [14:52] thats something I didnt know :P can you elaborate some more. so i ll not be able to resize,delete and create any other partitions? [14:52] codereurope: you can do that by running the script in a terminal or by double clicking the script. you have to enter the root password which may be the same password as your current user [14:52] blackflow: so wait I need to add a new line with "Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug" to the file "/etc/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service" right? [14:53] under the [Service] section? [14:54] jeystm: if you have say a 300mb disk, and you have 3 x 100mb partitions, and your middle one is encypted, if you want to say make 200mb partition and your 100mb partition, you can't because the data is locked either side of the encypted partition [14:54] oh I get it [14:55] so after the dm-crypt encrypted partition I cannot make any change, right? [14:55] nejm: yes, that will allow you to run the systemd-resolved service regularly, and still have debug output [14:55] jeystm: you can but it's a LOT of effort [14:55] nejm: the output will be in the journal [14:55] but the previous ones I can edit them, right? [14:55] Quetzalcoatl: I dont know where the script is or what to type, sorry about this. [14:56] nejm: so the process is similar. Add that environment var, restart systemd-resolved, try pinging ubuntu.com, check journalctl -u systemd-resolved.service [14:56] Quetzalcoatl: I got to the GuestAddition bit in devices. [14:56] codereurope: did the Guest additions appeared in your file manager ? [14:56] blackflow: there is no file systemd-resolved.service in /etc/systemd/system/, is that OK? [14:57] wow it's cursive [14:57] blackflow: didn't I need to copy a file or something? [14:57] QuestionTime: Where should it 'appear' in FM ? [14:58] Quetzalcoatl: Where should it 'appear' in FM ? [14:58] blackflow: Nah I'll just modify the systems file directly, I got a backup from yesterday in case everything goes wrong [14:59] Quetzalcoatl: Brback [14:59] ok [15:00] Hi, [15:00] Hello. Do anyone know how to make systemd boot linearly instead of in pararell? I'm trying to troubleshoot some booting problems in Ubuntu 16.04 [15:00] Is there a site where folks are collecting info on what printers work with ubuntu? [15:00] Cause I'd like to put in that Epson EcoTank ET-2550 works fine. [15:00] Cedara: https://h-node.org/printers/catalogue/en [15:00] blackflow: how did I restart systemd-resolved again? normally I use sudo service x stop / sudo service x restart, but appearently systemctl is different? [15:01] ta, n0ml [15:01] nejm: no, the service unit file is default in systemd lib, but you can edit it directly or copy over to /etc/systemd/system and edit there (preferred, so later you can simply delete the file) [15:01] Cedara: no problem my friend [15:01] nejm: systemctl restart systemd-resolved [15:02] nejm: obvious difference is that the verb and service name have swapped places [15:02] o that sounds easier than I thought xD [15:02] does that matter? [15:02] nejm: does what matter? [15:03] that verb and service have swapped places? [15:03] *. [15:04] * QuestionTime was confused but figured it out [15:05] Quetzalcoatl: I get to this point: http://imgur.com/a/n99gK , now what ? [15:05] it does nothing after that. [15:06] blackflow: I think I got it http://paste.ubuntu.com/23664269/ [15:06] pinging in another terminal does nothing to the output [15:07] coder europe:from what i see you are running ubuntu in a vm? correct? [15:07] yes [15:14] blackflow: can you make up anything from it? [15:16] hiii [15:20] Hi guys. Anyone tried to solve following problem "Diskfilter writes are not supported". I have tried update grub but without success? [15:20] blackflow: Did the paste go wrong? [15:22] blackflow: are you still here? [15:25] mnms_: did you not ask about this yesterday ? [15:26] /msg NickServ identify linux2009 [15:27] Genk1: probably a good idea to change password [15:27] ikonia: Yes and I tried with grub update, because it should be fixed in latest grub version, but it didnt help. Other option I have is this patch so I wanted to ask maybe someone got other solution [15:27] mnms_: thats not what I told you to do [15:27] mnms_: what did I tell you to do to fix it ? [15:27] Good morning everyone [15:28] ikonia: as far as I understood to create a boot partition outside lvm ? [15:28] mnms_: thats right, create /boot on a mirror partition, that is just a partition, then put / and anything else you wanted inside lvm [15:28] mnms_: did you do that ? [15:29] ikonia: Ok I didnt know how to start with this to be honest thats why I left this apporach :) [15:29] How do I tell Ubuntu to automatically (by default) use WINE for launching EXEs? [15:29] mnms_: so you didn't do what I told you to fix it, you've not said you didn't know and desipte me telling you how to fix it you're still asking "how do I fix it" [15:29] don't get angry now ikonia :) [15:29] I'm not angry [15:30] :) [15:30] ikonia: I just dont know If Im able to do that cause I allocate whole space to swap and root [15:30] mnms_: ok so the questio is not "how do I fix this" the question you should be asking, is "how do I setup a mirrored boot partition outside of lvm" [15:31] mnms_: I'm not trying to be rude, but you must understand how frustrating and perceived rude it is when I spend half an hour explaining your problem and how to fix it, and then I see you've not done anything I aksed and you're blindly just asking "how do I fix it" [15:31] ikonia: Yes. Sorry my mistake :) [15:31] ikonia: Ok I understand. [15:31] Can someone tell me if I will have any problems if i update my ubuntu currently running 14.04 on a Lenovo Carbon X1 gen3 [15:31] mnms_: it's fine, but you already know the answer, I've given it to you, so ask the question you need to know the answer to "how do I setup a seperate mirrored boot partition outside of lvm' rather than blindly "how do I fix it" you already know [15:32] OutOfSpace: impossible to confirm however if you're "ok" on 14.04 you should be "ok" with updates [15:32] ikonia: I think I wanted to solve it in more simple way thats way I didnt start asking about your solution. Sorry. [15:32] I WILL Try and update if anything goes south i can always reinstall [15:32] mnms_: no need for sorry, just keep in mind the effort we want to to understand your problem and fi [15:32] fix it [15:33] ikonia: So how do I setup a seperate mirrored boot partition outside of lvm? [15:33] If I allocated whole space [15:33] mnms_: so you need to partition approx 500mb on each disk at the start, [15:33] mnms_: is your whole disk running lvm currently (I don't remember) [15:36] ikonia: how can I check it? fdisk will not tell me this right ? [15:36] should I install pvdisplay ? [15:37] ikonia: I dont use LVM at all I think [15:39] ikonia: in /etc/fstab I have two entries with UUIDS [15:48] ikonia: So If Im not using LVM, what option do I have? add another disk ? [15:48] mnms_: what do you mean ? [15:49] ikonia: From fstab I see I dont use LVM. === Teemo is now known as rory [15:50] ikonia: Can I add somehow boot parition if I dont use LVM and / take whole disk space? [15:50] mnms_: are you %100 sure you are not using lvm as yesterday you said you where [15:50] how can i downgrade ubuntu 16.10 from 17.04? [15:50] 17.04 beta is very buggy now [15:50] rohanrhu: you can't [15:50] :((((( [15:50] !downgrade [15:50] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [15:51] EriC^^: there is not something i can try? [15:51] ikonia: I thought RAID needs LVM, but it looks he doesnt [15:51] mnms_: put your fstab in a pastebin please [15:51] rohanrhu: no idea [15:51] mnms_: lets see what you see [15:51] rohanrhu: just clean install [15:51] rohanrhu: if you're using pre-release software there can't be anything important on it [15:51] so just blat it and re-install [15:51] rohanrhu: If you want to go back to a previous version, you need to do a complete reinstall from scratch [15:52] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23664469/ [15:52] :( [15:52] mnms_: ok, so the easiest approach for you would be to re-install creating a seperate /boot mirror [15:53] mnms_: that would be the easiest / quickest approach [15:53] ikonia: And what is the other approach? [15:54] you'd have to break mirrors, re-size and resync [15:54] ikonia: right now my mirror is in degradated state [15:54] booted a 11.10 cd on a 686 (other cd's I have are x64) - how can I apt-get install openssh-server? (pretty sure 11.10 repos have been pulled, so I need.. there is a repo that has all the historic stuff right? [15:54] so Im ready to go? [15:55] ikonia: or what does mean breakinga mirror ? [15:55] i aam getting error trying to install qt5-default .. added ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa but somehow its not letting me install qt5-default [15:55] mnms_: it means stopping the mirror between disks (as you're changing the structure) [15:56] ikonia: it also means destroying the mirror for a moment ? [15:56] mnms_: stopping the awareness of the other disk === pax2you1 is now known as pax2you === hinga is now known as virtualark [15:58] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23664508/ this is my current raid state. Is it right state for changin structure? sdb is not added to array [15:58] mnms_: that will work [15:59] ikonia: How I should start, can you help me a little with it? [16:00] mnms_: I'm about to leave, but basically 1.) boot from a a disk 2.) resize other disk how you want it 3.) boot from resized disk 4.) copy partition table from current disk to old disk 5.) create raid device and let data sync 6.) update grub/fstab to boot from /use raid device 7.) reboot [16:00] mnms_: honestly - a reinstall will be 10 minutes work and so much easier [16:00] this will take you hours [16:01] ikonia: but there is a lot of services configured [16:01] its really lost option... [16:01] last* [16:01] mnms_: back up those configs [16:01] mnms_: if this has important work on it - this is a bad idea to do it on the fly [16:01] I have to leave so good luck [16:02] ikonia: have a nice day, bye and thanks [16:02] looks complicated [16:04] Hi === rbo is now known as coffeewater [16:04] I'm stuch [16:04] is ubuntu-sdk conflicting with qt5-default on 16.04?

[16:36] acresearch, are you running it as "vim" or "vi"? [16:36] Random832: vi [16:36] Random832: are they different? === ejbs__ is now known as ejbs_ [16:37] when you run "vi" it runs by default in compatibility mode, which (among other things) disables an option that allows arrow keys to work in insert mode [16:37] Random832: hmmm, has this always been in ubuntu? [16:37] yeah - you might not have noticed if you had a .vimrc file or were running as 'vim' before [16:38] Random832: i have always used vim on cluster computers, but when i started in ubuntu i found this issue, what should i do? [16:38] acresearch: I can replicate your result anyway, "vi" on 16.04 behaves like classic "vi" and not like "vim" [16:38] SwedeMike: oh [16:38] acresearch: you should install "vim" and use "vim" instead of "vi". [16:38] it also depends on whether you have full vim installed or vim-tiny [16:38] SwedeMike: does ubuntu 16.10 have the same issue? [16:39] acresearch: I have no diea. [16:39] idea [16:39] since I am grown up with classic "vi", I tend to go in and out of edit mode all the time, so I don't notice. [16:39] i am getting this error - http://paste.ubuntu.com/23664585/ help?? [16:39] acresearch: Debian will use vim if vim is installed even if you try to run vi [16:39] I am so old, I even know how to move around without cursor keys. [16:39] n0ml: hmmmm i see [16:40] SwedeMike: can you elaborate on edite mode? i am still new to vim [16:41] n0ml: you can change the alternative, iirc [16:41] acresearch: vim works in a different way to most other editors, it would be more helpful to you if you follow a introductory guide, as there are a few quirks and things you need to learn [16:41] nacc: yeah, I know. What I meant is that the alternative is set by default.

[17:18] OutOfSpace: sudo apt-get install libfprint0 fprint-demo libpam-fprintd gksu-polkit [17:19] nicomachus: only speaking to fprintd itself [17:19] er, not related to your support question, but OutOfSpace if you just installed this ubuntu yesterday, why'd you pick one that's 2.5 years old? [17:20] because this is the version that manufactorer recoomends and also many ppl online that have the same laptop suggest this version [17:20] good enough reason [17:20] nicomachus: i would suggest installing the correct packages from the archives *first*, then seeing if the ppa is really necessary [17:20] and.... [17:20] When I ls in an empty directory, is it possible to make it return "false" instead of nothing at all? [17:20] a manufacturer recommends a version of UBUNTU??? [17:20] it should only be needed, if OutOfSpace's hardware isn't supported by the archive packages [17:20] nacc: he did that. [17:20] that's *GREAT!* [17:20] nicomachus: did they? the paste they provided earlier had them installing one package that didn't exist [17:20] gallomimia: Lenovo has been doing that for a long time. [17:20] fingerprint-gui [17:20] on the other hand, since every distro seems to configure their lirc files slightly differently, I can imagine getting upstream to be helpful would be just as problematic [17:21] as they will just blame ubuntu for shipping lirc in a confused state [17:21] FrogCast: no, not in bash [17:21] nacc, :O === for{} is now known as myWorld [17:21] howarth: you're probably right on that note. i find ubuntu to be notorious for mucking around where programs and support thinks your config files would be [17:21] FrogCast: you could always ask in ##bash to see if there's a way to hack it together. [17:22] !cookie | nicomachus [17:22] nicomachus: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [17:22] will do that [17:22] thanks [17:22] FrogCast: you could write a trivial wrapper that did taht, but i think yu're misunderstanding what return values in the shell are [17:22] FrogCast: there's a few options in ls that can make it output something besides nothing for an empty dir [17:22] even the existing ubuntu documentation for configuring lirc seems to refer to some prior filesystem setup [17:22] certainly per-systemd [17:22] true. it technically did return false. [17:23] what is annoying is that I seem to be almost there [17:23] FrogCast: in bash, any non-zero value evaluates to false, iirc [17:23] in that 'irw' is properly registering the remote keys [17:23] config files are a pretty sore spot for me. there's lot of things that we can call "broken" in the world of linux, or not quite finished being fixed, or incomplete, or or or. but the location of config files is one of the worst [17:23] gallomimia: how do you mean? [17:23] but I don''t seem able to get a .lircrc that will transmit them to the desired programs [17:23] gallomimia: as in what location do you think is the 'worst'? [17:23] nacc: zero is false. numbers are true [17:24] gallomimia: not in bash [17:24] nacc, I just need something to read though. [17:24] ah. if it was ONE location.... 'worst' wouldn't apply [17:24] gallomimia: fine, what 'locations' do you think are the worst? [17:24] but... no one seems to agree on where it should be [17:24] gallomimia: it's application specific, if that's what you mean? [17:24] one confusing bit though is why did ubuntu deprecate hal and thus gnome-lirc-properties? [17:25] you'd have to give me the same amount of time as it takes to write and defend a masters degree if you want the answer to that [17:25] 70 hours unerasable at last database [17:25] howarth: i believe it was deprecated upstream not by ubuntu, at least [17:26] they don't seem to be very big on announcing where major packages are deprecated out, why and what the replacement is supposed to be [17:26] howarth: there were no reverse dependencies in ubuntu when the package was deleted [17:26] ME [17:26] howarth: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+publishinghistory (and it was done in 2013....) [17:27] so then there is no gnome-lirc-properties replacement to help automate the lirc setup anymore [17:27] !aptcd [17:27] if its possible in USA is it right/wrong ? -- GRUB TWO 908076509804309809706095-4-000-01 Jan 12, 1955 [17:27] !offline [17:27] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD [17:28] My current setup only works because I reinstall lirc lirc-x and selected the macmini remote from the pre-inst dialog [17:28] not particularly user friendly for post installation configuration [17:30] howarth: you probably could get to that via dpkg-reconfigure [17:30] genii: thank you [17:30] How tightly coupled is Ubuntu and Debian these days? [17:30] howarth: ubuntu derives most packages from debian [17:30] howarth: not necessarily all, but most [17:30] Do their configuration documentation tend to track that of Debian Jessie at this point/ [17:31] howarth: well it'd be, typically, what was in unstable at the time of release [17:31] EriC^^: :D [17:31] :D === neon is now known as Guest91674 [17:32] the confusing bit is this dotool, irexec and irxevent stuff [17:32] I assume I really should be configuring .lircrc for irxevent but most of the examples directly refer to the program by name === Guest91674 is now known as Quetzalcoatl [17:36] howarth: ahve you tried using the upstream lirc-setup tool? I know nothing about lirc, admittedly [17:38] cc === scottt is now known as Guest27040 [17:41] quassel. === lethu_ is now known as lethu [17:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LIRC seems stale [17:50] it refers to being able to set System / Preferences / Startup Applications [17:50] which doesn't seem to exist in the default installation any more [17:51] which is worrisome on its own merits [17:52] howarth: given that the last release on there is 10.10, i'd avoid it [17:52] howarth: although it does indicate dpkg-reconfigure is what you use to reconfigure it, as i guessed [17:52] howarth: i still have startup applications here (although it might be in a different path) [17:53] I'm half way there [17:53] howarth: also given that it's in the community section, feel free to contribute changes! :) [17:54] hard to be that helpful when you don't know the history of why particular components have been deprecated and when [17:54] howarth: no, but you can be helpful by documenting the steps you had to follow [17:54] shouldn't that be part of libstartup-notification0 or such [17:54] howarth: shouldn't what? [17:55] System / Preferences / Startup Applications [17:55] I finally fixed my DNS resolution, I don't know how, but the IP of my router works fine as DNS server, I modified /etc/dhcp/dhcpclient.conf/ so /etc/resolv.conf includes 192.168.2.254 instead of 127.0.1.1 and now I am able to browse again [17:55] I am assuming I am supposed to see that from the System Settings program [17:56] howarth: on my system (ubuntu gnome) it is provided by gnome session manager [17:56] howarth: so it depends [17:58] is there a reason i cannot write to files in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars as root? [17:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/unity-dash-intro.html [17:58] that is one obtuse interface [17:59] ah, I see now [17:59] they meant to say you can find the Startup Applications program there not that it was there === Zren_ is now known as Zren [18:03] Hi. I've got an interesting sound configuration problem: making mpd and users cohabiting on the same alsa mixer. So far, mpd won. I've found all kind of interesting tips but most notably about the ipc_key_add_uid key in asound.state. My problem is that my asound.state does not look like any of the examples and I'm a bit lost about where I'm supposed to configure that key.. [18:04] Using this examples, on Xenial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblemsMisc [18:07] my best guess at the moment is that I am screwing up .lircrc somehow [18:07] don't see how though as [18:08] I'm having problems with a Pluggable USB2-E100 USB Ethernet adapter. I can't access website when its connected for some reason. Transmission (torrent software) still works, but I can't access much else.

AX88772 [18:22] ping: www.google.com: Name or service not known [18:23] danfun64, that should work out of the box [18:23] I know, that's why I bought it [18:23] danfun64, can you paste sudo lshw -C Network [18:23] once i'm connected to it? [18:23] i'll brb then [18:24] danfun64, sure... to check if asix is loaded [18:25] Hello [18:25] Can I have voice control? [18:27] gitesh: you are looking for speech recognition software [18:27] tomreyn: yes, for ubuntu. [18:27] tomreyn: is there any available to try? [18:28] have you tried this: apt-cache search 'speech recognition' [18:28] https://paste.debian.net/903780/ [18:28] BTW, I turned IPv6 off thinking it will help [18:28] not sure if its really helping or not, but I thought I'd let you all know [18:28] apparently it isn't helping lol [18:31] Does anyone have experience with backing up using snapshot volumes? [18:32] RickDallas74, google btrbk [18:32] ...nobody else has any advice for my problem? [18:32] danfun64, sorry, disconnected [18:32] provided you meant btrfs snapshots [18:32] danfun64, the module is loaded ? [18:32] https://paste.debian.net/903780/ [18:33] and I mentioned that, thinking it would help matters even though there is no evidence of doing so, i turned off ipv6 [18:33] danfun64, looks ok... what's your issue ? [18:34] I can't really connect to anything except my torrent software when its connected [18:34] im using wireless now === Hacker is now known as Guest36528 [18:34] The snapshot volume does not remain consistent during backup. [18:34] when i plug in the wired usb adapter, it just doesn't allow connections for some reason [18:34] where are the other members of this crew [18:34] danfun64, well, i'd try to create in NM another connection for your adapter [18:35] how would I do that? [18:35] danfun64, right click on NM icon and 'edit connections' [18:35] and i'd appreciate it if you said all the instructions now because I will disconnect when I try it [18:35] im using Xubuntu btw [18:36] danfun64, you have a network icon somewhere ? [18:36] yes [18:36] and i can edit things in NM [18:36] it just requires left click, not right click. that's all [18:36] danfun64, ok.... open it and create a Manual connection [18:36] Amara, what is the behavior of the snapshot volumes on btrfs [18:37] I read about them... what I read and what I see on my system are not the same. [18:37] Choose a connection type [18:37] danfun64, your ip, netmask (255.255.255.0) and your gateway and DNS (8.8.8.8) [18:37] (it's not plugged in atm) [18:37] danfun64, Ethernet [18:38] RickDallas74, RickDallas74 behavior? what do you mean? they are cow ro or rw snapshots, what about them? [18:38] hello. Anyone here watch DVB-C on their PC? Any recommendations for the best GUI program around? (The lighter the better, no "media center" if possible). No links please, I'm looking for personal experience. [18:39] danfun64, for now it has ip=192.168.0.98 [18:39] Amara, COW ro is what I am trying to setup. I want them consistent for backup purposes... to take a snapshot of a logical volume and then backup that snapshot. [18:39] danfun64, and wifi ip=192.168.0.112 [18:40] Amara, however, when I look at the files in the snapshot, anything I do to the original volume is immediately reflected in the snapshot [18:40] danfun64, disconnect wifi, and try to set a static connection for your usb adapter [18:40] Amara, that is not what i would expect [18:40] ill brb [18:41] Amara, all that I have read says that the snapshot is "Frozen-in-time" so to speak... so changes are not immediately reflected. [18:41] RickDallas74, did you use -r while snapshoting? [18:41] RickDallas74, check out Arch Btrfs wiki [18:41] No. [18:42] RickDallas74, Well you should have. [18:42] Thank you! [18:42] I scoured for hours looking at tons of exampes and that did not come up. [18:42] Thank you. [18:43] One other thing... [18:43] Sure, just the read the manual, its all there man btrfs-subvolume [18:43] jkij === OCDavis is now known as The1nk [18:46] hi all.. I have a virtualized Ubuntu 15.04 guest which is getting some buffer i/o errors on /dev/sda (it happened due to full host's HD capacity) and I am trying to solve problem by running fsck by touching /forcefsck and rebooting, but it seems fsck doesnt even start [18:47] hay: 15.04 guest should b eupdated, btw (it's eol by some time) [18:48] nacc: I see, will be done, thanks :) but I need to solve this fail first :) [18:49] hay, boot a live OS, do the check using it? [18:50] Amara, the -r option must be only for btrfs... not for logical volumes [18:50] Amara, yeah, that's what I am planning to do now... thought that this /forcefsck should be easier :) thanks [18:50] weird thing [18:50] for whatever reason, when i plug in the ethernet adapter, it acts like both the wired and the wireless are connected [18:51] and if i disconnect the wireless, I don't get *anything*. [18:52] I can't explain it at all [18:52] Has anyone used Logical Volumes to be able to create consistent backups? [18:52] hi guys. i've been trying to use sendmail to relay mails thru my gmail account, without success. i dont have a FQDN in the vps and i guess that's why it's failing. any other way? [18:56] no advice? === jstein_ is now known as jstein === OCDavis is now known as theOCD [18:57] RickDallas74: is this a survey? [18:58] danfun64: i haven't seen this before. i probably wont be able to help. but surely no one elese will unless oyu provide more info. [18:59] danfun64: start by providing lspci -knnv and lsusb -v outputs on !pastebin, coupled with your ubuntu version (lsb_release -d) [18:59] tomreyn, I need someone who has successfully done this before [19:00] tomreyn, because I have followed both examples and from what I understand from the literature and I get very different results in terms of the behavior of the snapshot volume. [19:00] The_Myth: what you want to do is to use google / gmail with a smarthost configuration. i.e. your mailserver will actually do smtp authentication to the gmail, as if it was a mail client. [19:01] /wc/msg ubottu btrfs [19:01] tomreyn: thats it! how can i do that? [19:01] RickDallas74: the only really tricky part about it is to ensure you don't have consistent writes to the LV snapshot while you create the backup off it. [19:01] i really need it, but gmail seems to block all my attempts [19:02] RickDallas74: and to have enough disk space in general [19:02] The_Myth: which mails erver did you choose? [19:02] *mail server [19:03] tomreyn, The changes that are made on the original volume are being immediately reflected in the snapshot volume... that is not what I would expect === theOCD is now known as Guest36061 [19:04] The_Myth, how do you know it's Gmail and not your provider? I had that problem and it took me 2 days till it finally clicked. [19:04] and I do mail for a living... [19:04] tomreyn: i've installed sendmail. but i can switch if there's one better. i use sendmail, because its used by default on Anop [19:04] *Anope [19:05] morsnowski: google warned me of a blocked attempt [19:05] RickDallas74: right, that's not how it should be [19:05] ok that would be clear then and what is the exact error message? [19:05] The_Myth, they give you the link with generic info about SPF and DKIM? [19:06] The_Myth: i'd probably just use a nullmailer such as ssmtp for a simple setup [19:06] tomreyn, here is what I used to create the volume: lvcreate -L25G -s -n homesnapshot /dev/home-vg/home [19:06] wafflejock: sure. anything that helps me bypassing that google security [19:06] The_Myth, well I was asking if they sent you a link with that info along with the blocked message info [19:07] nullmailer is most excellent [19:07] tomreyn, on the lvdisplay, it shows that the two volumes are "connected".. i.e. I have snapshot volume and it's paired source [19:07] wafflejock: dont remember now. [19:07] The_Myth, I've seen similar messages when setting up my own mail server but they explain to add SPF records to the DNS and DKIM to the messages to reduce the likelihood of them being blocked [19:08] https://paste.debian.net/903785/ [19:08] https://paste.debian.net/903786/ [19:08] https://paste.debian.net/903786/ [19:08] err [19:08] Description: Ubuntu 16.10 [19:08] RickDallas74: this looks correct to me [19:08] The_Myth, oh sorry think I'm confusing issues.. you're saying using Gmail as the host and with credentials through their smtp right? [19:08] tomreyn, so sad.... [19:09] tomreyn: Was hoping I forgot something.... [19:09] Hi! Ever since I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.1 I've had some issues with screen flickering, especially while using Chrome (also had some issues with a video game having lower FPS than usual), is there anything specific I should look up regarding drivers for example? I'm using Intel HD 2000 (I think, it's OpenGL 3.0. I can't find the appropriate command for GPU info) [19:10] The_Myth, in my case was setting up a mail server and some messages being rejected because GMail thinking it's spam but maybe not related to your problem, in either case though you'll need to get details for anyone here to help I think [19:10] wafflejock: yes. but i guess google blocks my attempts because i dont have a fqdn [19:10] The_Myth, does this help ... https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-google-s-smtp-server [19:10] RickDallas74: i would recommend to mount the snapshot read-only (if you are going to mount it and not just image it entirely). [19:11] The_Myth, hmm that seems strange are you trying to send emails with a different from address than the smtp credentials or something? [19:11] RickDallas74: what's the size of the original LV? [19:12] wafflejock: my vps dont have a FQDN. maybe thats the issue. [19:12] pavlos: i'll take a look at that [19:12] tomreyn: The original is 1.2T... but sparsely populated. [19:12] Tomreyn: 25G is excessive... [19:12] The_Myth: if you do smtp authentication as a mail client would, then none of this is of concern [19:13] yeah was thinking the fqdn shouldn't be a problem in that case since any email client just uses the credentials to send e-mails for you [19:13] dont really understand virtual place chat [19:13] tomreyn: maybe i'm doing something wrong. idont know [19:13] The_Myth: all of what wafflejock and you (fqdn) discussed above only matters if you are going to setup a full mail server to relay through google (which may or may not be possible). [19:14] Seems like the kernel might be an issue [19:14] tomreyn: thats exactly what i want. to make all mails that goes out my machine to be ralayed by Gmail [19:14] tomreyn: I mounted the volume as read only [19:14] *relayed [19:14] no advice? [19:15] tomreyn: I was hoping that was the issue, but the files continue to be changed. [19:15] RickDallas74: 25G is not excessive if you have steady wirtes to the original volume. also, IIRC you will need a certain minimum fraction of the original size for some knid of meta data it writes. i forgot the details. [19:15] RickDallas74: which file system? [19:15] tomreyn: btrfs [19:15] uuh, dunno, i have no experience with that [19:16] tomreyn: I should use the shadow copy of btrfs instead then. [19:16] http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/snapshots_backup.html suggests that for xfs you should mount with -onouuid,ro [19:16] Let me look [19:16] 13.4.2 [19:17] tomreyn: I do exactly what they do and get the results that the snapshot just keeps updating... so I can't tar it... and get a good backup. [19:17] tomreyn: minus the xfs part [19:18] this is too hard to a noob like me to achieve.. [19:18] :x === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [19:19] tomreyn: I searched trying to find the "error" to see if someone else documented making a mistake... so far, no luck. I seem to be the only one that the obvious is not so obvious :-/ [19:19] RickDallas74: yeah, i'm puzzled, haven't run into the situation you're discussing where data written to the original file system carries through to the snapshot after it was fully created. [19:20] RickDallas74: if you have more space to allocate, give it a try, just to see whether ti makes a difference. [19:25] OK, I've reduced my problem to this very simple question: How to enable alsa software (d)mixing in Xenial? === jstein is now known as Guest56026 [19:27] Hello === Dolmen is now known as Guest23201 === jstein_ is now known as jstein [19:29] Whenever I change network settings to use ipv4 either by default or as a secondary protocol at boot-up nm-applet creates a new profile with ipv6-only, I then have to manually select the original profile for the system to get ipv4 [19:32] Does anyone in here have experience with networkmanager ?

[20:03] and like gallomimia said [20:04] lapion: gai.conf gives you a solution to your problem, i.e. change ipv4/ipv6 precedence [20:05] akik. no it doesn't. it changes whether the resolver looks up AAAA or A [20:05] akik I need ipv4 to be active before I can set precedence. [20:05] he's dealing with his actual network config [20:05] as in... does not care whether resolver works or not yet, cause networking isn't even functional [20:06] i'd also like to put in my five cents about the fact that there's networking configs in at least 3 places now, and not all of them get used. and getting someone to answer a question about which ones are used, how to change DNS settings from command line, et-cetera, is like pulling chicken's teeth. === for{} is now known as vfigpt [20:11] gallomimia: it's the ubuntu way. must be "works for me" [20:11] when network-manager was brought in at first, it was so buggy [20:11] hah [20:11] as if it could have been worse [20:12] you jest surely [20:12] a bit [20:12] for example wlan configuration can be done in interfaces file but it too is like searching for a nail in a hay stack [20:13] gallomimia: I agree.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [20:14] lapion, and what's your problem ? [20:15] ioria, on boot no matter what I set in my network manager profile only ipv6 is activated [20:15] lapion, also if you select 'ignore' in NM ? [20:16] ioria, no matter what option I set\ [20:17] ioria, nm creates a ghost profile and only activates ipv6. [20:17] it's only when I manually select the created profile a ipv4 and ipv6 address is assigned [20:18] lapion, are you using NM ? [20:18] ioria, otherwhise all I get is ipv6 [20:18] lapion, are you using NM ? [20:18] NetworkManager allong with nm-applet [20:18] lapion: you have native ipv6 from your isp? [20:18] lapion, what's in your /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:18] akik, yes along with static static ipv4 addrsses [20:19] interfaces.d is empty [20:19] lapion, /etc/network/interfaces [20:19] auto lo [20:19] iface lo inet loopback [20:21] Hey guys [20:21] I'm packaging an application into a .deb package [20:22] I use debuild to build the package [20:22] My question is, how do I specify a specific upstream tarball file name? [20:22] ioria, nive one set it from etc.... probablya workaround.. [20:23] lapion, ok ... but it's weird [20:24] yeah it sure is.. but I know it's due to the isp native ipv6.. becuase I recently removed my tamato ipv4-only router and started using the isp's router [20:25] lapion, oh, i see [20:26] lapion, fiber ? [20:28] lapion, you can disable temporary with sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf//disable_ipv6' [20:28] good isp.. has anything from classic pots-56k6 modems dsl fiber.. since inception static ip's [20:29] having the weirdest issue ever. BCM4322 wireless with bcmwl driver. doesnt work until after i resume from suspend [20:29] lapion, 56k not a good option :þ [20:30] Hello all and Happy Yule! I have a minor question - seasons related. Anyone know of any Ubuntu or Lubuntu greeting card maker? I found "KreetingKard" - but it will not install for some reason. [20:30] libreoffice [20:30] ioria, don't say that it might save your live while on vacation. [20:30] lapion, true [20:31] ioria, like it saved so many lives during revolutions against dictators.. [20:31] lapion, true again [20:31] hi [20:33] hi. I am using fluxbox but I installed gnome settings manager (a long time ago) and my audio devices stopped showing up in the sound panel. How can I make them reappear? Thanks for any help [20:33] ioria, however it will eat your call-debit whole [20:34] lapion, ahaha, as you said sometimes it is worth [20:36] lapion, anyway, i'd take a look at your router config ... unlikely the culprit is NM [20:40] hi [20:40] does ubuntu provide a official or backport package for grsecurity+pax? [20:41] debian does have uptodate backports for grsecurity, but i didnt find anything on ubuntu lts for that [20:49] hamdjan: I doubt it. also, grsecurity stopped publishing stable kernels, they now only have (very) latest ones [20:50] Launchpad is an idiot [20:50] ioria, overiding nm with interfaces got it working correctly [20:50] OverCoder: launchpad is not a person. [20:50] the programmer of it is [20:50] lapion, good work [20:51] lapion, but weird :þ [20:51] How on earth does one fix an accidentally uploaded malformed upstream tarball [20:51] OverCoder: there are thousands of those. Do you have a specific Ubuntu issue we can help solve? [20:51] I can't update my PPA :< [20:51] nicomachus: ^ [20:51] OverCoder: That sounds like an issue to contact the launchpad folks about, not us. [20:51] lapion, at this point, maybe better stop and disable NM [20:52] OverCoder: /join #launchpad [20:52] I built my package with a wrong tarball upstream accidentally, and obviously, build failed, and now it rejects and further updates to the upstream tarball because different contents under the same tarball name [20:52] nicomachus: okay [20:52] hamdjan: also, from what I see in Debian, latest is 4.7.0, hardly up to date. I don't think it even has the latest crop of kernel vulns fixed. [20:53] hi, when does the update manager ask for a password and when doesn't it? a source would be appreciated. [20:53] 4.7.0 is even Dirty Cow vulnerable iirc [20:53] dAnjou: when it needs root privileges, it asks for a root password. [20:54] nicomachus: that's not exactly true, or at least not the whole truth. [20:54] <\9> there's no such thing as a root password [20:54] nicomachus: also, source? [20:55] ioria, still need it for virbr on one system on the other for wifi jicoe [20:55] in /etc/modprobe.d ... I put radeon.conf... with blacklist radeon .. so i can use amdgpu.... lspci -v shows radeon in use [20:56] from googling i got the answers "for kernel updates" and "when new software is installed" (kinda like upgrade vs dist-upgrade) [20:56] lapion, ok [20:58] blackflow, hm good to know, thanks [20:58] blackflow, so if someone wants to go with grsecurity then there's no way around gentoo [20:58] hi [20:58] this flash version is broken adobe-flashplugin_20161213.1.orig.tar.gz [20:59] I can't downgrade [20:59] hamdjan: yes, or pay up to get stable kernels from grsec :) [20:59] hamdjan: then again I guess one can take the patches and build for ubuntu [20:59] it's after all "just" a set of patches on the mainline kernel [21:00] blackflow, guess im going with ubuntu lts. not so much time to setup grsecurity correctly with because it requires lots of configuration for each applicaiton you use :) [21:00] maybe at a later time [21:00] yes, you could compile the kernel yourself, but i prefere using prepackaged kernels [21:00] hamdjan: I gave up because they're not backporting fixes so you're forced to rebuild the kernel every few days as they pull in new changes. very taxing for production. [21:02] yeah. i dont have a *high security* environment anyways, so decent hardening should suffice. if i find time i'll test it on arch linux or gentoo though [21:02] found it, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Update_Manager_doesn.27t_prompt_for_security_updates [21:02] hamdjan: the ubuntu kernel is hardened a bit. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features and if you combine with apparmor it's not bad at all. [21:03] how can i install a specific package version with apt ? [21:03] hamdjan: you can mimick some pax kernel features with apparmor, like @OWNER access on /proc, TPE, etc... [21:03] blackflow, yep, apparmor is helpful [21:04] hamdjan: can't imagine browsing the net without it (it or any other similar enforcement) [21:04] had to tweak ubunut's firefox profile becuse it was too open [21:04] hello ubuntu users from china [21:04] !cn | vento [21:04] vento: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [21:05] ubuntu 16 is a good linux.It's easy to use. [21:05] thank you [21:06] why did they remove this package from the repo ?http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_20160407.1.orig.tar.gz [21:06] flash is not working anymore with the new update [21:06] mirak_: yea we heard you. please be patient. [21:06] nicomachus, what can you do ? [21:07] mirak_: I think it's now the pepperflash plugin, I think adobe took over that one [21:07] blackflow, thanks for the hint, going to check out those settings, sounds like it helps a little against web exploits [21:07] mirak_: what browser are you using? [21:07] i am transferring from win10 to ubuntu [21:07] hamdjan: helps quite a bit, and in my case, prevents reading of .ssh, I've got private keys in there for our entire server fleet :) [21:08] hamdjan: that's the "too open" part in the default policy, I tweaked it to allow r/w only to ~/Downloads. A bit of a PITA to use at first, btu you get used to it [21:08] (aside to the minimum required r/w access in ~/.cache and ~/.mozilla and wherever [21:09] nothing else in ~/ [21:09] nicomachus, firefox [21:09] don't suggest chrome, the image is blocky with it [21:09] blackflow, ah thats a good doing. always worried about my ssh keys (currently iam adding finally passphrases for all my ssh keys, so I'll use app armor for that too then) [21:10] mirak_: I suggest reading this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/562271/can-i-use-chromes-pepper-flash-with-firefox [21:10] i use both chrome and firefox.work well in my computer [21:10] mirak_: but you may be out of luck and be forced to use Chrome soon if you want flash. [21:10] Why so low work my wacom tablet [21:10] i don't mind using chor [21:10] Any questions [21:10] chrome, but it's not working right [21:11] mirak_: also, keep in mind that #firefox is pretty helpful for questions specific to them. [21:12] i go on windows [21:12] that's really where linux loses everytime [21:12] in the end [21:12] :/ [21:12] flash is a simple question [21:12] even in debian it can be solved easily. [21:13] mirak_: what? [21:13] however when i use ubuntu 16 everything is ok.It's anazing. [21:13] mirak_, adobe is coming with flashplugin r24 soon.

[21:15] When touch with pen write low end lags [21:16] No in realtime [21:18] Hi, why I kill a process, but it is not killed.

[21:44] ty [21:45] Has anyone made a snapshot volume and found that it kept updating with the original volume? [21:48] RickDallas74, nope what kind of snapshot [21:49] wafflejock, Using the lvcreate to create snapshot volume [21:52] RickDallas74, not super familiar but what's the actual lvcreate command you're running to make the new volume? [21:53] wafflejock: lvcreate -L25G -s -n homesnapshot /dev/home-vg/home === Guest38837 is now known as giraffe [21:57] RickDallas74, page here is in context of CentOS but says the snapshots store any changes http://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/lvm-snapshots-ext4-centos-7/ [21:57] oh rihgt [21:57] Can anyone tell me what is going on here? http://pastebin.com/cvGQ8aLq [21:57] I have some troubles with XRDP [21:57] I have some problems ... :( http://i.imgur.com/b2CO131.jpg [21:58] Trying to install mesa-vdpau-drivers [21:58] I did evrything that was written here http://askubuntu.com/questions/592537/can-i-access-ubuntu-from-windows-remotely [21:59] RickDallas74, yah it should be saving the old blocks as new data is updated in the original volume so it still has the old info in the snapshot and it grows as it differs more from the original volume [22:00] RickDallas74, you're saying after the snapshot you mount the snapshot and changes in the original filesystem are reflected in the mounted snapshot? [22:00] wafflejock: Yes, the changes are immediately reflected. [22:01] RickDallas74, weird don't have experience with lvm stuff but that does sound off... maybe can paste your lvdisplay output not sure I can help but someone else may see it here [22:01] wafflejock: I have about 4 virtual servers that I cannot take offline. I would like to back up all of the drive and state information. So, I wanted to use the snapshot. [22:02] wafflejock: btrfs has snapshot built in as well.... so I may use that instead. [22:02] using Synaptic, I can see that my mesa version is 11.2 when latest version is 13.1. When I mark for upgrade, it kicks back with the broken package error. [22:02] hi [22:02] wafflejock: I hate problems like this... to me it seems I am missing some small detail... but I cannot find it. [22:02] I wish it would tell me which package was broken, so I could somehow fix it. [22:02] bianchi: hi [22:02] Can someone help me ? [22:03] RickDallas74, that's my guess too I was hoping was something silly like mirroring flag instead of snapshot in the lvcreate or something that would jump out but not sure what to check there [22:03] v7: Did you realize that you are connecting the server to itself? I just want to make sure you are aware of that. [22:04] v7: Did you realize that you are connecting the server to itself? I just want to make sure you are aware of that.

Like that [22:09] Ben64, based on link pasted from V7 up above a bit http://askubuntu.com/questions/592537/can-i-access-ubuntu-from-windows-remotely [22:09] I have a SSH acess to server ( Text Mode ) [22:09] ok, doesn't change the fact that we need more details to figure this out [22:09] I need some Graphical Server for it [22:10] Ben64, Remmina doesn't have windows build does it? otherwise vncserver I think is fine [22:10] nohup ./mercury >& mercury.log & [22:10] like i said, vncserver [22:10] wafflejock: if we had more information we'd know what the problem is [22:10] V7: There is a typo in the configuration file on the example as given [22:11] It could be preventing xfce from starting [22:11] Ben64, So why I can't connect to it like in Article ? I can't understand ) [22:11] V7: we don't know! you haven't said anything! [22:11] RickDallas74, I've changed config file like it said in this tut [22:11] Ben64, What information do you need ? [22:12] start with any [22:12] so far all we know is what you want to do, and that "it doesn't work" [22:13] Are you sure the ports are correct on the server? They are usually 3389, not 3350 [22:13] Ben64, I have a server without monitor which is connected to a Local Network ( 192.168.1.103 ). I need some Graphical X Server on it to connect to or something like this ! So .. Im trying to make this by reading an article.

[22:15] V7: alternatively, run vncserver, then connect with [22:15] I'm typing credentials and this error appears [22:15] Ben64, So .. no xRDP ? )) [22:15] nah [22:15] CoderEurope: from where? [22:18] I guess that the problem is in xfce4 ... right ?

Keep seeing a stack overflow that suggests it shouldn't happen till 14.10 [23:28] cruisibesares: maybe you upgraded the kernel too [23:29] well, by definition, 14.04.5 refers to a different kernel than 14.04.{0,1,2,3,4} [23:31] yeah the kernel is updated for sure. So it comes as a dependency of the kernel package? [23:31] sorry just trying to wrap my head around that change.

[23:32] yeah i have some old boxes running .3 and i just installed a new box from .5 and saw init change [23:32] cruisibesares: (just to be clear, 14.04.3 is no longer supported) === jz is now known as Guest4124 [23:33] cruisibesares: then probably upgraded the kernel, or your would be in an unsupported kernel [23:33] right that is why i would like to upgrade but init change is going to hold me back for a while if i have to translate stuff over to systemd [23:34] Don't know about systemd but usually you should just get kernel and xorg upgrades [23:34] cruisibesares: i don't have a 14.04 system around, but i think you are right that it is unexpected for systemd to be the init process [23:35] on 14.04.5, pid 1 is still upstart's /sbin/init [23:35] right, that would be what i'd expect [23:35] cruisibesares: what akik said, that is [23:35] cruisibesares: can you explain what is making you think that's not what you're seeing? [23:35] there are a couple of systemd processes, though === stan is now known as Guest2066 [23:36] yeah i see init spawning both upstart and systemd children in a trusty lxd container [23:37] the way i was looking was checking man /sbin/init [23:37] one of them is init other is systemd [23:37] cruisibesares: U have a 14,04 install updated from that 13,04.0 to current, and have not seen that experiecnce . To determine which init daemon you are currently booting with, run: ' ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart ' . [23:37] i mean let me just check pid 1 [23:39] alright its upstart [23:39] everything is ok [23:39] sorry for wasting everyones time on that. bad info
