[03:36] I am trying to enable ufw and I have added a rule to enable ssh, but it keeps blocking ssh and killing my connection. [03:37] sudo ufw allow IN from 192.168.1.0/24 and sudo ufw allow ssh [03:37] but it still kills ssh, any ideas?

The swap and ubuntu partitions are intact. [10:23] I am trying to follow this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [10:24] to try and recover them by running ubuntu through a usb, but there is no program called testdisk installed and I am unable to install it through apt or through a .deb package [10:25] I also tried gparted recover START END but it only recovered one partition of 1GB which started at the beginning of the disk. Subsequent attempts to recover don't do anything. [10:25] carpediembaby: type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:25] what is the error when you try to install testdisk? [10:25] paste the link here [10:26] carpediembaby, "sudo apt-get install testdisk" does not install "testdisk"? (Assuming you're connected to a network) [10:26] Could anyone help me resolve this? I restarted the computer and I can't boot into either windows or ubuntu as there is no boot loader active i guess [10:26] he might need to enable the universe repo for testdisk [10:27] carpediembaby: do you have a live usb? [10:28] EriC^^: I did the command http://termbin.com/fjjs I also got a message saying "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 but Linux says its 512 [10:29] YankDownUnder: I am currently using the live usb so i have internet. But I get unable to locate package testdisk [10:29] carpediembaby, do an apt-get update before trying to install testdisk [10:29] carpediembaby: sudo add-apt-repository universe [10:30] carpediembaby: then what ikevin said ^ [10:31] carpediembaby: looks like you deleted the first 256gb, including the efi partition (that's why ubuntu wont boot anymore) [10:31] EriC^^: the problem was the universe repository was not included [10:32] EriC^^: yes. It was something very stupid. I was trying to delete partitions on a usb disk it automatically selected the main disk after the first operation i did... [10:33] Every time I build a new USB I end up doing an edit immediately on the /etc/apt/sources.list...amongst other things... [10:33] carpediembaby: you have to know something about testdisk though, it doesn't add partitions, it'll give you a list of whatever it can find, and you'll have to sort them all and write a new partition table [10:33] hi [10:34] how do i figure out what program created a kernel panick and crashed my computer ? [10:34] Duality, take a look at dmesg [10:35] carpediembaby: yeah stuff happens :D [10:35] So i have a list of partitions as far as i can tell, there seem to be 7 partitions with 'D' (deleted) [10:36] How do i recover them? [10:36] carpediembaby: type "sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print | nc termbin.com 9999" [10:36] carpediembaby: that's from a quick search? [10:37] http://termbin.com/ozsm [10:38] EriC^^: Yes [10:38] carpediembaby: ok, take a screenshot of the window and upload to imgur.com [10:39] EriC^^: http://imgur.com/a/pyCKG [10:39] carpediembaby: basically you need to highlight each partition you want and use the right arrow to select P for primary [10:39] EriC^^: Yes, but i don't know which ones are primary and which ones are not [10:40] I guess not all of them are primary [10:40] I have a text to speech script that can generate sound using google translate, is there an other program that I can pipe the sound into to save it as an audio file? [10:41] carpediembaby: 1 sec [10:41] EriC^^, not sure he can use primary for all partitions [10:41] Simooon: I'm sure you can achieve that with ffmpeg [10:41] Simooon: not sure about the options though [10:41] ikevin: he can cause it's gpt [10:42] oh, not see that he use gpt [10:42] b00tcat, okay, will look into that :-) [10:43] carpediembaby: ikevin it's all good almost, it looks like the big ntfs one at the bottom isn't selected, there's also a partition after the esp which you have to select, the sectors have to match up [10:43] carpediembaby: go to the lowest one at the bottom, and make the D a P [10:43] Simooon: out of curiosity, did you make that T2S script yourself or are you using any other software? I'm curious [10:43] 814... til 195...711 sectors [10:44] carpediembaby: actually, choose the one before the bottom one [10:44] starting sector 814690304 [10:44] EriC^^: No the last one which is the biggest is an extended partition normally, its for data [10:44] the windows partition is the first D as far as i know [10:45] carpediembaby: yes the last one, the biggest one isn't selected right now, only the ones with P will be written [10:45] carpediembaby, you can use the list file function to be sure [10:45] *not the last one, the one before the last [10:46] ikevin, EriC^^: the first 'D' is the Windows partition, i checked with list function [10:47] carpediembaby: check the 4th one [10:47] b00tcat, found it on a raspberry pi wiki :-) [10:48] The second last one shows the data directory as i mentioned, and the last one says it cannot show the files (filesystem seems damaged). But I think thats because it may be an extended partition? [10:48] carpediembaby: if i had to guess i'd say it's like this, 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 [10:48] b00tcat, if you are interested, you can find it here the second to last example: http://elinux.org/RPi_Text_to_Speech_(Speech_Synthesis) [10:49] carpediembaby: nah the last one sectors are off a little, the one before has the same starting sector as the parted output [10:49] but it ends early for some reason [10:49] b00tcat, b00tcat anyway got to go, thanks for the recommendation :-) [10:49] just by a few [10:49] EriC^^: ikevin the fourth and fifth ones seem to be recovery partitions and for the 2nd and 3rd, it says it cannot show the files [10:51] carpediembaby: 3rd should be the efi partition that has the bootloader [10:51] it can't show the files? [10:51] Hi [10:51] Is there a tool to analyse what /init or /sbin/init runs? [10:52] bash -x? [10:52] carpediembaby: if you go by 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 it wouldn't be wasting any space, any other arrangement makes it have some unallocated space here and there [10:53] EriC^^: What do you mean? I should make them all primary? [10:53] carpediembaby: check 4 7 8 and see what they are and if they work and stuff [10:54] Particularly, I'd like to have "init" start a service, too [10:54] Trying to tinker with the Winshit Linux Subsystem to have somewhat working service start up [10:55] !ubuwin [10:55] Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows. [10:55] oerheks: I'll move there, thanks [10:55] Eric, I am sure that 4 is the one on which Windows is installed. I have the program files and stuff there in the list. So i should park it as primary i guess? [10:55] carpediembaby: yeah [10:56] carpediembaby: ok, then also do the rest [10:56] 7 8 9 10 11 all as primaries [10:56] cause there's no other choice anyways, then hit enter [10:58] and 12? [10:58] no [10:58] leave the last one blank [10:58] It says invalid partition structure [10:58] for which? [10:59] Ah i put 6 and 7 as well [10:59] oh [11:00] It asks me to reboot [11:00] i'll reboot. should it reboot now and show the boot menu? === Attoy_ is now known as Attoy [11:01] carpediembaby: yeah [11:01] ok, EriC^^ ikevin: thanks! ill come back to report [11:01] Hi, xubuntu 16.04. after few hours of usage (and maybe related to screensaver or suspending my laptop) - Thunar takes like 10seconds to open and sometimes windows freeze forever.

[11:08] ikevin: i did but it doesn't exactly show what the name of the process is that caused the crash [11:09] Duality, syslog don't have more log?

[12:18] EriC^^: are you getting my messages? [12:19] back [12:19] carpediembaby: you keep getting disconnected [12:20] EriC^^: yes it seems so. Flaky connection, I will try to move [12:20] carpediembaby: it should mount even if it's already mounted, odd [12:21] also, whats stressing me is that the data disk is not opening. [12:21] i'm trying to figure out which one is the efi partition, sda2 or sda3 so we can set the boot and esp flags in case it helps [12:21] carpediembaby: yeah there's something odd about the live session i think [12:21] carpediembaby: i dont think it's a disk related problem though so no worries [12:22] EriC^^: ok, so i try mounting sda3 to /efi? [12:22] carpediembaby: give it a shot [12:23] same thing [12:23] carpediembaby: try sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 | strings | grep "grubx64.efi" [12:23] already mounted or /efi busy [12:24] hello [12:24] carpediembaby, cat /etc/mtab | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:24] https://pastebin.com/G8f7G37b [12:24] Hi I was wondering what was the right way to make a user an admin (give) sudo privs on a 16.04 machine [12:24] my (k)ubuntu 17.04 keeps freezing, what can I do to investigate the problem? [12:25] I figured there must be some ubuntu specific option [12:25] http://termbin.com/wjza [12:25] squig, just add the use to admin group [12:25] carpediembaby: ok, looks like that's the efi partition [12:25] carpediembaby: try sudo cgdisk /dev/sda , go to sda2 and choose type > ef00 [12:26] ikevin: there is no admin group in /etc/group [12:26] carpediembaby: for the linux one sda7 choose 8300 and for swap 8200 === ejbs__ is now known as ejbs_ [12:27] squig, by default, sudo is configured to allow access to user in admin group, if admin group don't exist, you can create it [12:27] EriC^^: all done [12:27] ikevin: great [12:27] carpediembaby: write it and quit [12:28] squig, you can use group sudo to [12:28] carpediembaby: if it doesn't work when you reboot, try to boot the live usb in uefi mode so we can check the uefi list and maybe reinstall grub [12:28] # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges // # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command [12:28] EriC^^: how do i boot it in uefi mode? [12:29] carpediembaby: depends on your laptop, in hp i just choose uefi in the bios and press f9 when booting [12:29] Taggnostr, inxi -Fxxrzc0 | pastebinit Provide link - So We can see what hardware you are working with [12:30] EriC^^: ok, I'll try to boot in uefi mode. this is a thinkpad x260 [12:30] i'll be back ! [12:35] Jack_Sparrow__: https://pastebin.com/4ztJjAC4 [12:50] Taggnostr, not sure , but it looks like your amdgpu driver is not loaded [12:51] gallium is the default driver used before the proprietary is installed [12:52] BluesKaj, how can I check which one is loaded? [12:52] Anyone has any idea how to fix messed up Screen output? Heres what happens when I try to fire up top in screen https://cl.ly/132i0N3P151j/Screen%20Recording%202017-05-11%20at%2001.44%20pm.gif [12:53] Ninetou, looks like the refresh rate is off on the display [12:54] Taggnostr, try sudo modprobe xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu , if there's no output then the driver is loaded [12:54] BluesKaj, fwiw in the driver manager I don't get any list of drivers [12:54] modprobe: FATAL: Module xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu not found in directory /lib/modules/4.10.0-20-generic [12:55] I am back. No luck with booting in to the system. I get the same problem screen of recovery. [12:55] Taggnostr, sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu [12:56] xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu is already the newest version (1.3.0-0ubuntu1). [12:56] should I try to purge it and reinstall it? [12:56] Taggnostr, what driver is in use ? lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2 [12:57] Kernel driver in use: radeon [12:57] you could , but something seems to be blocking it [12:57] fwiw in /lib/modules I have 3.5.0, 4.8.0, and 4.10.0 [12:58] Taggnostr, 3.5 ? [12:58] Southern_Gentlem Its a TTY session so I don't think it has anythign to do with refresh rate. I don't see that issue when I tested it with a commercial TTY emulator but of course I don't feel like paying 50Euro just to be able to see Top properly [12:58] hi guys, i have some problems with my dpi. I installed i3 and i3 seems to work fine (i can change the font so its size is good so I can read it) but the dpi for every other application is wrong..everything is tiny. I have a hidpi screen on my laptop. I have been googling like crazy and trying stuff but nothing worked. [12:58] Taggnostr, run ioria 's suggestion [12:58] would appreciate any help I can get.. [12:58] Taggnostr, 3.5 it's not a stock ubuntu kernel [12:59] ioria, $ ls /lib/modules/ --> 3.5.0-27-generic/ 4.10.0-20-generic/ 4.8.0-49-generic/ [12:59] Taggnostr, i don't know where you got that kernel from .... dmesg | grep Kernel | pastebinit [12:59] Taggnostr, now run, lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2 [12:59]
