=== KindTwo is now known as KindOne [00:30] is it ok to get help with ubuntu bind9 in here? [00:33] dprophit: Yes, statue your issue to the channel . [00:55] I'm trying to change my shell to zsh using chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh but I keep getting the error message "You may not change the shell for 'nick'" Is there a way to fix this? I'm not sure what the issue is [01:06] ollien: please post the full terminal with error message to pastebin [01:07] leftyfb: https://hastebin.com/fixudalacu.rb [01:07] ollien: what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:08] leftyfb: 16.04.2 [01:09] it's working for me on several machines [01:09] ollien: did you lock this down somehow or is this a non-standard install? [01:09] leftyfb: This is a stock image from digital ocean [01:09] No clue what they do to lock that down [01:09] you'll need to contact them then [01:09] Anyone successfully installed ispconfig and got email and dns working? I have courier + maildrop, bind9 [01:09] aight [01:09] thanks [01:10] otherwise, you can just edit /etc/passwd [01:10] or sudo usermod -s [01:10] leftyfb: I can do that, but I'm curious as to why it doesn't work with chsh [01:10] ollien: is zsh installed? [01:10] glitsj16: yes [01:10] ollien: I'm going to guess because of DO's image [01:10] dprophit: I would highly suggest not bothering with ispconfig [01:10] and it's in /etc/shells [01:11] leftyfb: if you know of a better one....open source one [01:11] dprophit: vim [01:11] or nano if you don't know vim [01:11] other than an editor =) [01:12] dprophit: if you're interested in learning how to build/administer a server, then a webUI like ispconfig will achieve quite the opposite results you're looking for [01:12] likewise if you're trying to run things properly [01:13] leftyfb: Not trying to learn sysadmin. [01:13] dprophit: see my 2nd point [01:14] dprophit: webui's like those tend to mess with configs in ways that add confusion and complexity and can even break things. It's also a security risk. It also encourages point-and-click sysadmining [01:15] I get your point. ANyone else? [01:16] dprophit: can I ask what is your reasoning behind wanting something like ispconfig? [01:16] Easily manage my domain. Focus on what I do which is not being a sysadmin [01:17] dprophit: there are proper hosted services for such things [01:17] I got your point already. === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [02:25] Hey, where do I find the block device or the mount point for my android phone? [03:05] Anyone wanna join us in #ubuntu-offtopic ? [03:25] anyone please know of a usb dongle bluetooth that works with linux and does full audio with a phone too? perfer bt4.2 / 4.1 as a compromise . thanks [04:03] hi all - I've added a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications/ but my program isn't showing up in the applications list [04:11] jmadero, what version of ubuntu and desktop are you using with ubuntu? [04:11] sirru5h: 16.04, Gnome [04:15] Give this a quick look I've had to manually add some entries for packages here and there myself https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-packagekit/stable/add-remove.html.en [04:24] hi, is there a way to overclock nvidia cards through a headless server? [04:58] do you guys have any idea on linphone? [04:59] can i contact it using a landline number? [04:59] hi there, is it possible to send a string from the commandline as input to a chrome window? I'd like to create a javascript workflow with a console and my native vim editor, but I'm not sure how to do this... [05:01] kristhian: /j #linphone === Wa|kTh3___ is now known as basheba_A0P [05:05] nobody's there actually [05:05] hehehe [05:07] I'm kinda half here [05:10] I hate when that happens [05:13] what is linphone? [05:13] thewillo, are you asking us to google that for you? cause ... no [05:14] no, i'm asking what it is because someone was talking about it so they must know [05:14] Oh I see === Zren_ is now known as Zren [05:36] so is most of the channel bots? [05:36] no [05:36] haha, it worked! mind if I re-iterate a non-liphone question? [05:37] go ahead [05:37] I'd love to know if there's a way to have lines of text sent from my terminal to a javascript console in chrome. [05:38] is that possible? what would you suggest I read up on to help myself out? [05:38] completely over my head so I could only supply wild guesses. I would suggest #java might know [05:39] I saw online that there's a tool called xdotool that helps with emulating input, but that seemed like it was only for occasional hotkey input not lines of text? [05:40] never used it, nor do I do any java stuff so ... [05:41] sounds like you are describing piping directly from terminal to java. Gotta be a way, but again --over my head [05:42] thanks either way! good to know its not all computers running the chat haha [06:01] lil__, java != javascript ... ask in #javascript [06:02] haha, I would never! [06:05] lil__, I didn't want you to end up in the wrong place ;) [06:06] yea I have found a working solution thanks to a couple of concessions === xMopxShell is now known as xmopxshell === xmopxshell is now known as xMopxShell === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [08:35] hello. since 3 days Im trying to run a nvidia driver on my optimus notebook nvidia/intel chipset on Ubuntu 16.04 [08:36] no luck at all. yesterday it works . but switched with prime-select intel and back to nvidia it was gone. [08:37] now i cannot switch back to nvidia anymore. no way to get it back to work. I would prefere to switch over change in bios between optimus and intel [08:43] dreamon: are you using bumblebee! [09:05] when I'm playing a full screen game for some reason Ctrl+5 shortcut doesn't work, could that be an Ubuntu shortcut somewhere [09:05] Shift+5 works just fine [09:05] and 5 itself works [09:06] Ctrl+4 works [09:06] so does Ctrl+6 [09:08] isn't there a shortcuts settings in System setings --> keybord . [09:13] guys how can i minimize a wine game? [09:13] fullscreen [09:20] hi, i'm trying to use https://github.com/IntegersOfK/Hoin-POS-58-80 (80mm, 64 bit system) but even though the job completes successfully nothing happens on the printer. This is my debugging log http://sprunge.us/eJZh . I know the printer is funcitonal becaues I can echo "text" > /dev/usb/lp0 and it prints [09:22] Dave_Elec: it should be in wine config , you may wanna ask in #winehq . [09:22] The only shortcut that is relevant is Ctrl + Alt + 5 which is "Toggle minimization state" sary === Infra_HDC is now known as R2AMO [10:09] I got a new seagate external hard disk. My ubuntu can't find it [10:15] Hey guys .... Does anyone know how to install powerline plugin in oh-my-zsh? [10:19] the_cheetah, wheres the package from [10:20] bazhang: which package?

[10:25] I don't know why but i'm not able to find those docs .. can you please send the link? [10:28] Why does it take forever for sites like Facebook and imgur to fully load ? it happens on FF and Chromium [10:28] while it's totally fine on my mobile and windows laptop === JanC_ is now known as JanC [10:59] rcmainak: Ubuntu should not have any issues mounting HPFS/NTFS/exFAT, FAT or EXT{1,2,3} out of the box. Sometimes, devices don't automount you may have a missing module! [11:00] sary, it's working fine with windows [11:01] rcmainak: which ubuntu version, and to run sudo fdisk -l , ind your device in the list. It is probably something like /dev/sdb1 [11:05] Hiyas all [11:05] Hyia [11:05] sary, Ubuntu 16.04. `sudo fdisk -l` is still running without any output. [11:09] i can't find the skypeforlinux package with apt-cache search. do i need some repositories added or something? [11:10] !skype | egrain [11:10] egrain: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [11:10] rcmainak: That's weird!, it should take a second to show.

[11:12] sary, still processing. same happens with `sudo parted -l` & gparted [11:12] hah :D [11:12] calls don't work anymore with that since today. [11:12] but i heard there is a skypeforlinux wrapper for the web client. [11:12] https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/ [11:12] seems legit [11:14] well, can i expect a proper package? if i've learned anything then not to install stuff by hand. [11:14] sary, after upluging & repluging the drive fdisk says `fdisk: cannot open /dev/sdb: No such file or directory` [11:15] egrain: it's a package file [11:15] if you double click it it should install itself and maybe add a ppa if we're lucky [11:16] EriC^^, i'll do that then. [11:16] EriC^^, thanks a bunch. === London3D is now known as Glen2 [11:16] egrain: no problem [12:09] does anyone know if there is a window manager for Unity that would integrate with workspaces? [12:21] Why does it take forever for sites like Facebook and imgur to fully load ? it happens on FF and Chromium [12:21] while it's totally fine on my mobile and windows laptop [12:30] !ping [12:30] pong! [12:30] ping! [12:41] beefjoe: i don't use facebook , but imgur and youtube loads fine in firefox! i use google public dns. try using that or opendns .. if that doesn't help i'd ask facebook an imgur! [12:41] I think it has to do with my ubuntu installation..I'll try to change the dns [12:43] why would you assume that! do you have the same issu loding other websites! [12:44] sary, easy test to see if it's ubuntu issue; install an alternate browser. I suggest chromium-browser [12:45] cfhowlett: true, beefjoe mentioned having the same issue with chromium. [12:46] sary exactly [12:46] Hey guys. My ubuntu 16.04 lts is stuck in a login screen loop (unity-greeter). Can somebody help me to trobleshoot this? [12:46] it happens on youtube sometimes..imgur and facebook [12:46] the last thing i did: i connected a new screen via hdmi [12:47] i went on systemsettings -> display things and clicked on detect screens -> it stucked up and i rebooted. [12:48] now i cant login =( [12:49] sary, as beefjoe suggested, check your DNS settings [12:50] cfhowlett: it's the other way :) it's beefjoe's issue. [12:50] lol [12:51] I'm so confused ... [12:51] how to change to google's public dns ? [12:51] got a link for a guide ? === r0Oter is now known as r00ter === red-001 is now known as Cthon98 === Cthon98 is now known as red-001 [13:06] cfhowlett sary changed to google dns but still same issue.. [13:08] beefjoe, ONLY on FB/imgur? [13:08] youtube [13:08] sometimes other sites randomly where it hangs a bit [13:08] flash heavy iirc. [13:08] I have to refresh in such case [13:10] http://i.imgur.com/150EFHs.png [13:13] banyantree: seems like the GPU driver is acting up, or if your not using the Proprietary driver that might be required! for now: get to ta virtual terminal: Ctrl+Alt+F1 , login with username and passwd, unplug the HDMI cable.. run sudo service lightdm restart , or sudo reboot . [13:17] I might have found something [13:17] when I do a speedtest [13:17] the ping and down speed are fine, but can't retrieve the up speed for some reason [13:19] time to ping that sucker ISP! [13:20] http://www.speedtest.net/ [13:20] sary but how come it happens only on my ubuntu laptop ? I have several other devices here that are totally fine [13:20] cfhowlett yep http://i.imgur.com/sMZ0c6F.png [13:22] hello ppl; need some advice with using tightvnc server under ubuntu 16.04; seems like the remote administrator is not fully functional . . . [13:22] i prefer http://beta.speedtest.net , it's HTML5 [13:23] beefjoe: that's true, did you change anything in your system network configuration! [13:23] sary not until now where I changed to Google DNS [13:24] That's what I got on beta.speedtest http://i.imgur.com/ynwyAIh.png [13:25] beefjoe: OK, do also test-check the other devices with ookla speedtest, see the up result. [13:25] sounds more like your router is the problem, wireless perhaps? [13:25] it is wireless [13:26] I get 5 mbps upload on my windows 10 laptop [13:26] 5.14 to be exact [13:28] reset your router, might help, and delete your firefox/chrome profile, nad restart browser [13:28] do get the same speed test result with the wired cable! [13:29] In Kino, the audio device selection is pointing to "/dev/dsp" which does not exist. What is the correct address for my audio device so that Kino can use it? [13:29] sary but why would this laptop not get enough upload on wireless ? [13:32] beefjoe: it's not clear to me for now , but at this point i'd guess that it could be the wireless driver .. so to be sure test the speed with a wired cable on the laptop. [13:32] ok will do [13:33] beefjoe: also, what are the security settings for wifi in the router! [13:34] i would try resetting router first, before doing changes to the config.. [13:35] How do I find the path to my audio device? e.g. /dev/???? [13:36] ubuntu kino [13:38] blackdalek, hmm, lots of forumposts about that issue .. what is so special about your ubuntu install?? [13:39] oerheks after router reset I get 0.45 mbps upload for now.. [13:40] oerheks, nothing special... jsut trying to get Kino's edit screen to work properly, but it needs to know the path for the audio device. It points to "/dev/dsp" by default. I need to change it to point to the correct path... but I can't figure out what the correct path should be. [13:40] doing a speedtest again gives 0 upload speed :( [13:47] blackdalek: from " man dsp " /dev/dsp is the default audio device in the system. In Kino, Edit -> Preferences -> Audio Tab -> Audio Device /dev/dsp , Change the default open command for *.kino files to "padsp kino" . [13:49] sary, what is padsp? [13:51] I get no man page entry for dsp [13:51] blackdalek: i think the pa stands for pulseuadio, with dsp it is acting as an OSS application that is not aware of pulseuadio, so has to be told where to find the sound device. [13:52] blackdalek: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man7/dsp.7.html [13:53] Are you saying there is no way to simply tell Kino a new path? I have to launch Kino through padsp instead? [13:59] blackdalek: The device files for sound devices are located at /dev/snd/ [14:03] is /dev/snd/controlC0 the audio device? [14:06] Could someone tell me what I have to do for 'sudo' has access to pip3 https://pastebin.com/wCyDuxQ2 [14:08] maybe move it? [14:26] Ok [14:26] I get that one sorted out [14:32] Hi i am not getting sound in my earphone but my laptop speakers are working fine and bluetooth speakers are also working fine. [14:33] ubuntu 16.04 | updated with gnome shell , earlier pop-up used to come headphone or headset , that is also not coming anymore. [14:38] I've recently upgraded to ubuntu 17.04, and now i can't log with any of the gnome fallback sessions (I usually use gnome xmonad session). It seems to work for new accounts once, but then subsequently when it logs in it loads the panels and then segfaults and goes back to login screen. Anyone have any ideas? [14:38] (in syslog you can see gnome-fallback-session segfaulting) [14:39] dudeji: run alsamixer , is the Headphon muted! [14:39] headphone is not listed there [14:40] sPDIF ,sPDIF 1 sPDIF 2, is there and all 00 [14:43] how to reset alsamixer?

[15:15] skype sotpped working, iirc ... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/06/skype-4-3-linux-stop-working-july-2017 so the servers are down too, i guess [15:15] c/stopped [15:15] okasy so at best remove it [15:23] Hi, [15:25] I need to know what is the meaning of "core" here "mariadb-client-core-10.0" when i was trying to install mariadb [15:26] When i try to do telnet on my machine it cannot connect however from a machine within the same network it works fine. Where should i look? [15:26] My ubuntu device itself is having access to the internet as it can reach google for example. It fails on "telnet pro.sslusenet.com 563" [15:28] And my firwall is inactive ("ufw status") [15:30] Hi, I have an external drive with music files, created under windows.

The default is Ubuntu Software. [15:46] hey! [15:46] why does ubuntu 14.04's resolv.conf empty? except for a warning to not edit the file? [15:46] "Software Manager" is a Mint thing [15:46] I am trying to think of the one that shows all the PPA sourfces [15:47] software&updates>sources [15:47] m00n_urn: You're actually looking for /run/resolvconf/resolve.conf , /etc/resolve.conf points to it [15:47] why does ubuntu 14.04's resolv.conf empty? except for a warning to not edit the file? [15:47] * /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf , ** /etc/resolv.conf points to it [15:48] RonWhoCares: in control settings there is a software & updates, then other software tab shows ppa's [15:49] So if you're looking to add networking to a chroot you'll want to copy /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf into the chroot's /etc/resolv.conf [15:50] Menzador: symlink? coz /etc/resolv.conf is empty but run/resolvconf/resolv.conf has nameserver 127.0.0.1 [15:50] Yes, it is a symlink [15:50] m00n_urn, dns is handled by network-manager, that is why it is empty [15:51] but shouldn't symlink be a mirror of the file? [15:51] and symlinked elsewhere [15:51] alright [15:52] Muskedunder: run$ gksudo nautilus .. see if you are able to copy them! [15:52] how do I purge skype [15:52] Menzador: can network-manager opened up using the command?

[16:10] Still shows down , let me see if I can see any ssids [16:11] fallentree, thanks [16:12] After a restart I see networks now [16:12] No systemd [16:12] So I can learn, what was the problem? [16:13] That's an "init wars" argument [16:13] Giant81: Probably had to do with the Ethernet being connected [16:14] Menzador: it is not. when the developers of said init system refuse to fix a security vulnerability, then the argument is against that init system in a secure environment. plain and simple. [16:14] Ethernet wasn't connected [16:14] Chatting on my phone [16:15] fallentree: But at this point systemd is more than just init - it's a microkernel/userspace daemon, which means security becomes complicated. Anyway, that's all I'm about to say [16:16] I'll chalk it up to an anomaly since it was the first boot [16:16] Maybe a reboot would have fixed it to begin with, ty very much for the help [16:18] Menzador: which changes absolutely nothing about the fact that it should not be used in a secure environment. [16:20] fallentree, do you have a bugreport on that? [16:20] Yes, I should like to inspect [16:20] oerheks: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6237 [16:21] ty [16:22] "I wonder which tool allowed you to create it in the 1st place. [16:23] fallentree, so it s not a bug in systemd itself.. but ugly indeed [16:23] oerheks: of course it is a bug in systemd [16:23] you create a user, ask a process to be run under that user, and it runs as root. === evade_ is now known as evade [16:24] No, it is a shadow-utils issue, adduser complains, useradd doesn't. [16:24] Muskedunder: while the drive plugged in , run$ ls /media , Make a note of the folder name (/media/name) and then run: sudo chown -R username:username /media/mount-point(drive name) , Change username:username with your own username . [16:24] oerheks: no it is not. systemd is elevating to root. period. [16:25] oerheks: besides, '0day' username is POSIX compliant. [16:25] the tools allow it because the tools are POSIX compliant. [16:25] which is beside the point! systemd runs a service configured to run as unprivileged user, as root. period. [16:26] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6237#issuecomment-312479534 [16:27] a service was asked to be run as non root. that criteria could not be met because . the proper response is: fail to run the service until the admin corrects the problem. [16:31] it looks like ubuntu zesty cannot handle VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [16:31] I have to boot with nomodeset [16:31] but then I get a resolution of 1024x768 only [16:39] sary: Thanks, but when I enter that, the process is stuck... But literally all subfolders are marked "drwxrwxrwx", so I should have permission? [16:39] ...in the first place [16:43] OK, I'm back. Drive through a giant no service area [16:44] TL;DR: shadow-utils fails itself. systemd detects invalid user, it logs the service and watches as units fail to load. [16:46] Menzador: uh it doesn't fail to load. it starts the service as root. '0day' has a UID in the system, it is not an invalid user. [16:47] the problem is in systemd parsing 0 and ignoring day. the problem is in systemd wrongly parsing the User= entry. [16:48] Well there's a reason for that [16:48] User= is for SYSTEM USERS ONLY [16:48] Not regular ones [16:49] shadow-utils ultimately is at fault here for permitting invalid usernames without complaint [16:49] Menzador: that is not true, read the systemd.exec manpage [16:49] User=, Group= Set the UNIX user or group that the processes are executed as, respectively. [16:50] "Takes a single user or group name, or numeric ID as argument." [16:50] it fails at "numeric ID" because it doesn't parse the whole value [16:52] It will run, but THE UNIT WILL FAIL [16:52] it will not fail, I'm running one right now. [16:59] you don't even have to have '0day' user on the system, it will still run, because it parses only the 0 part, and not the 'day' part. I'm running a test service right now. no failure, runs as root, with User=0day (the user doesn't exist on the system) [16:59] Muskedunder: I don't know what the nautilus error means.. could it be that there sre folders on your external hard drive that are encrypted@ ## on the mounted disk. Type mount to see if /media/yourUser/DriveName .... has somewhere the options "rw", and How are you copying the files from the external drive! which filysystem the drive formatted as? [17:00] so you see, it has ZERO to do with shadow utils, doesn't matter what useradd does. you don't have to touch useradd. systemd will parse User= wrongly. [17:04] I may want to run a few tests on this myself. [17:04] Aison: You can set/add resolutions to the monitor app using "xrandr" . === jstein_ is now known as jstein === Vilegent is now known as kk4ewt [17:45] Sometimes when I save .jpg or .pgn files off the Internet, they have a kind of 3D effect on the right and bottom. I don't want this. I want to use the image as an icon. How do I remove the shadow? [17:45] I'm talking about something that Ubuntu is adding when displaying the thumbnail [17:48] is there any way for me to replace a website's coockie on firefox? [17:49] replace ? [17:52] senaps: the developer toolbar allows some modification. Not sure if there is a way to give it a whole new one... i'll have to keep reading [17:53] senaps: cookie set [17:54] i have the coockie of a user(my test user) dumped, saved to a file. removed the coockies and loged in to the website again . now, i have heard that they might get a coockie of a user and use it! i guess they would place this coockie in their browser and access the website as the owner of the coockie? i have to secure my web from this type of attack. and to check if i'm okay, i have to be able to use my admin user coockie with a new private session to see [17:54] if i can access the admin area or not. [17:54] what should the name be? the name of website or part of the session? [17:55] senaps: ##security might be a better place to ask. Fairly offtopic for #ubuntu [17:56] wedgie, thanks....and sorry [17:56] but in general, if they've stolen a session cookie somehow then they will likely be able to impersonate that user [17:59] firebug can edit cookies.. https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/71233/use-cookies-once-stolen === KindTwo is now known as KindOne === semeion is now known as mnemonic [18:28]  [18:34] hi, sudo apt upgrade, sudo apt install mysql-server and sudo apt dist-upgrade returns error E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [18:34] what should i do?

The result are a URL back in terminal, pass the links back here :) === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [19:11] Bashing-om, i have a very poor connection to the internet, so it might take about half hour to get the result and upload the codes to the webapp [19:17] how do i download geckodriver? [19:17] i need to run a command against a specific path, but the only variable I am given is always one level to deep. How can I go back up one level? I.e get myfolder/mfolder2/mydirectory and I want myfolder/mfolder2 (A compass compile command) [19:18] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25005997/ and i think these repos are unofficial. is it safe to remove'em? [19:20] senaps: Look'n . Be right back . [19:20] when i do - wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.17.0/geckodriver-v0.17.0-linux64.tar.gz. where is it saving the file? [19:22] senaps: " 30 packages can be upgraded " next .. what is the result of the upgrade command ? [19:23] gambl0re: current dir [19:25] Bashing-om, it's still doing the download. it should download part of the files needed and then come back with error [19:26] senaps: K; ya doing well . we wait on the connection :) [19:28]
