[00:03] Hi all, I had a 16.04 Ubuntu install that was working perfectly well but I had to mess up with it. I was hoping to add an extra IP to my machine, so I ran the following command: `sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.130/24 dev enp4s0`. The I saw it changed my machine's main IP instead of adding a second IP as I intended, so I rebooted, hoping it would revert to DHCP. It kinda did, because I can still ping and SSH into the machine over the network [00:03] my virtual machines, none of them can get an IP now... [00:03] How could I fix it? [00:07] Hi, I actually have a curious question, not a problem [00:08] :) [00:08] Hi, I'm running 16.04 and suddenly I can't create symlinks over SFTP [00:08] meaning if I SFTP to another computer on the network, and drag a symlink back to my home folder, nothing happens. and old symlinks no longer worl [00:08] rodney77: you honestly shouldn't have even been able to do that, how exactly were you doing that?? [00:09] that's really not how SFTP or FTPS works [00:09] RJ45, I just alt dragged the folder, clicked 'create link' and it worked fine [00:09] as long as I had an active SFTP connection is was fine RJ45 [00:09] well that's confusing, 'cos as far as I know those symlinks shouldn't actually work o_O [00:10] are you sure you wasn't using something other than SFTP? [00:10] maybe NFS? [00:10] RJ45, it was always SFTP. and I had been doing it for years with no problem [00:11] rodney77: beats me, I'm no expert though, ask someone else :) [00:11] ok thanks. Anyone else? [00:11] now for my question; How long can an LTS release go with all updates disabled, before no-longer being able to receive updates? [00:13] like, say I have Ubuntu 10.04 (purely hypothetically speaking), and I disable updates upon installation in 2010, if I enabled updates now, would it still be able to receive updates and upgrade to 16.04?? [00:14] (also can you believe 10.04 was 7 years ago?, where did the years go.. damn) [00:15] rodney77: if you ever figure out a way to get Rsync to work over FTP, let me know, it's not possible but I'd like it to be possible [00:15] sounds like a feature request [00:16] YES! PLEASE!. [00:16] holy shit why isn't that already a feature!? Rsync is such a prominent tool.. [00:16] as is FTP [00:16] RJ45, rsync is its own network protocol [00:17] whaaaaaa!? [00:17] so you can rsync over a network without ftp [00:17] holy shit you can!? [00:17] yeah [00:17] it's great [00:17] fuck my whole life is a lie o_o [00:17] it will even compress the data before it sends it over the network [00:17] it's the fastest transfer protocol that I know of [00:17] all this time I thought I could only use it on the computer I'm running it on [00:18] nope. do a search for 'rsync over network' and check it out [00:18] this is a game changer, I gotta go read some man pages and forum posts now [00:18] thank you [00:19] no problem [00:20] hey someone help rodney77 ASAP please!, he deserves it more than I do [00:20] lol [00:20] what do i do on ubuntu 16.04 ; when i try to start pulse audio via start-pulseaudio-x11 and i see pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused ; Connection failure: Connection refused [00:21] Thanks RJ45. This is a weird channel. So many users in it and so few answers [00:21] arooni: whenever I have pulseaudio problems, I just run this: killall -9 pulseaudio && pulseaudio === cyphase_eviltwin is now known as cyphase [00:23] rodney77: it's just human nature sadly, everyone wants answers, those who have answers are already okay so don't care and carry on with their lives.. [00:24] also it's the weekend in a good chunk of the world. [00:24] but if that were true, there would be a ton of people in here asking questions and I don't even really see that [00:24] RJ45: rsync also works over ssh if you want. [00:24] rodney77: what happens if you ln -s source target via a cli sftp client? errors? [00:24] rodney77: a ton of people WERE asking, but they gave-up and just idle now [00:24] RJ45: i did try running that but i got https://gist.github.com/arooni/d572b3f5606c5ef21af4c851dc4ca586 as output [00:24] deww thx [00:26] arooni: "master=bluez_sink.FC_58_FA_60_CD_7F", sounds like a bluetooth problem [00:26] are you using some sort of bluetooth audio thingy? [00:27] bluetooth shit can be a real pain in the buggy ass [00:27] deww, i will try it. i tried making a symlink with mc but it didn't work [00:28] rodney77: make absolute sure you are using SFTP and not FTPS, it's such an easy mistake to accidentally make :P [00:28] I've made same mistake and not even noticed 'cos hey, they both get the job done :P [00:30] ok deww, i can create a symlink on the sftp site [00:30] but that doesn't help in this case [00:30] i'm not sure how to make a symlink from sftp to a local folder via command line [00:30] rodney77: did you double-check you are using SFTP and not FTPS? [00:30] yes RJ45, i'm using sftp [00:31] hm [00:31] ln -s source newlink [00:32] rodney77: just throwing it out there, could it be a permissions problem? [00:32] try chmod 777 on both sides [00:32] deww, how would that work when the source is remote? [00:33] rodney77: can you explain exactly what you're trying to do? [00:33] ok deww, i have symlinks in my home folder that link to locations on sftp servers [00:34] they used to work fine [00:34] suddenly they broke [00:34] now i can't create symlinks anymore [00:34] rodney77: I know what's happening (I think) [00:35] before, for some reason, somehow, the SFTP was being MOUNTED to a hidden directory on you filesystem [00:35] then whatever file manager you were using simply symlinked to there [00:35] that's gotta be what's going on here [00:35] RJ45, that sounds right [00:35] it makes so much sense! [00:35] rodney77: oh uhm... i never did anything llike that. i suspect these aren't symlinks [00:35] :D [00:35] but this has always been the case as long as i've used ubuntu [00:36] so first they would mount somewhere obvious. I think /mnt/ or /media/ [00:36] rodney77: tough shit mate, ur gonna have-to re-create those symlinked the same way you made them before [00:36] symlinks& [00:36] ** [00:36] then they started mounting at ~/.gvfs/ [00:36] sorry dude [00:36] then they moved to /run/user/1000/gvfs/ [00:37] and now, it's just a mystery [00:37] that's ok RJ45, thanks for your hepl [00:37] yeah I remember when I found out about the .gvfs/ directory, that was so useful and fun, good job whoever's idea that was :D [00:38] rodney77: I am both super glad and super surprised I was able to help :D [00:39] rodney77: I was originally confused 'cos of-course, I don't think SFTS or FTPS have native support for symlinks [00:39] SFTP or FTPS* [00:39] but mounting trickery is a whole other ball game [00:42] now for my question; How long can an LTS release go with all updates disabled, before no-longer being able to receive updates? [00:42] like, say I have Ubuntu 10.04 (purely hypothetically speaking), and I disable updates upon installation in 2010, if I enabled updates now, would it still be able to receive updates and upgrade to 16.04?? [00:43] RJ45: yeah [00:44] EriC^^: good to know, I have PTSD from a real bad, related experience with a non-LTS version of Linux Mint years ago [00:44] !eol | RJ45 [00:44] RJ45: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:44] has anyone used the boot-repair util? I can't get it working and would appreciate any help [00:45] JessicaRN: what's the problem you're having? [00:45] the "repair windows mbr" option is greyed out [00:45] Bashing-om: I knew this, but despite this, are they still able to update and upgrade past EOL? [00:45] i cant seem to enable it [00:46] JessicaRN: maybe you're using gpt [00:47] Bashing-om: say, a Ubuntu install never updated reaches over 1 year EOL, could it still receive updates and upgrade to 16.04 upon connecting to the internet? [00:47] EriC^^: Heres the situation: I have two 2tb drives. the first has two ntfs volumes, a boot and a data. [00:47] RJ45: Yes and no . The expected repo no longer exists . So ya go the bone yard route to release-upgrade . [00:47] the second drive is empty [00:48] JessicaRN: aha [00:48] I wanted to clone 1 > 2 and tried using an old version of acronis. [00:48] and the POS app killed my boot [00:48] on the first one? [00:49] I've been trying to fix it w/ ubuntu [00:49] Bashing-om: ah, so it could still upgrade release version, and then receive like a terabyte of long overdue updates for everything after the fact? [00:49] Yeah, on the first. I actually took out the second to simplify things [00:49] JessicaRN: ok, type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" paste the link it gives you here [00:49] sec [00:50] Sp O [00:50] lol [00:50] So I'm trying to diagnose what's causing these spikes in load on my server [00:50] RJ45: Well once the release-upgrade completes, sure . Will then be on what has support . [00:50] and I'm not sure what to monitor next [00:50] http://imgur.com/a/HaOFW [00:51] CPU/RAM/Network Traffic seem nominal [00:51] Bashing-om: ah that is excellent to know, this was not the case for a non-lts version of Linux Mint [00:51] I was just SOL [00:52] EriC^^: its 6rf7 [00:53] RJ45: correct . mint often breaks . Their packaging sometimes is no longer compatible with the ubuntu repo . [00:53] JessicaRN: the filesystem name is missing, that doesn [00:53] t look too good, try sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [00:54] Bashing-om: I plan on setting-up a little HTPC, disabling updates, and then upgrading/updating like 5 year later, am I a terrible bad person for doing this? [00:54] It is on a VPS, so I would suspect it could be something to do with disk usage [00:54] but I'm not sure why that would cause high load on my vps [00:55] Nothing on my server should have been touching the disk that badly [00:55] EriC^^: wont mount. says blah blah blah ... doesn't seem to have a valid ntfs .... blah blah [00:55] lol [00:55] what's the middle blah's :D > [00:55] ? [00:55] EriC^^: that said, earlier I was able to access my data via ubuntu and copy it to a share [00:56] aha that's good :) [00:56] RJ45: Well, if the HTPC ever faces into the internet; loss of security .. many many issues ! [00:56] yeah, but i dont wanna haveto rebuild this whole frigging pc [00:57] Bashing-om: even worse, I have a raspberry pi running Raspbian that has Apache port-forwarded, and literally has never been updated in about 4 years [00:57] I am amazed it's still alive [00:57] i can still see the data [00:57] I has the freaking Heartbleed bug [00:57] JessicaRN: you mean /dev/sda2 is mounting fine? [00:57] it has* [00:58] EriC^^: i can see the second volume. eariler I could see both. [00:58] still not gonna update it. [00:59] EriC^^: I havent used ubuntu for years and am stumbling around the new ui. sorry [00:59] JessicaRN: try "dmesg | tail | nc termbin.com 9999" [00:59] JessicaRN: try Ubuntu MATE, you'll love it [01:00] is Ubuntu switching back to Gnome? [01:00] RJ45: Software does not die .. Just no updates NOR securuty fixes when updates are not done . I got a 6.06 release will run just fine - But I do not run it ! [01:00] EriC^^: w0o7 [01:01] RJ45: I'm using it atm... [01:02] RJ45: oh.... d'oh... you were talking about an app called "ubuntu MATE", not calling me mate? [01:02] aaahahhaaa!!! [01:02] XD [01:02] thought you were from down under.... [01:02] it's not an app tho, it's a whole DE [01:02] try MATE, mate [01:03] it's like Gnome never died, and just kept being developed [01:03] just trying to get my laptop back up and running. I'll play after work is done. [01:03] in-fact it was spawned in response to Gnome dieing [01:03] JessicaRN: what was the error from before about the ntfs stuff? [01:03] poor gnome [01:04] I know right, RIP Gnome 10.04 [01:04] try sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt |& nc termbin.com 9999 [01:05] EriC^^: ouno [01:07] JessicaRN: try sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1 [01:09] JessicaRN: try "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt" [01:09] EriC^^: it copied from the alternate bootsector [01:10] aha [01:10] EriC^^: it mounted [01:10] is it fixed? [01:10] nice try rebooting the pc and see what happens [01:11] cross fingers... [01:12] win didnt boot. should i try the win repair process again? [01:12] yup [01:12] from the win install media? [01:12] or boot-repair [01:12] ? [01:12] win install media [01:12] any thoughts about the high load average? [01:16] EriC^^: win doesnt seee the volumes [01:17] JessicaRN: what command didyou try? [01:18] EriC^^: I booted the install media, selected repair, tried the automated repair. the list of volumes that follows was empty [01:18] i ran it anyway and it failed [01:19] i next dropped down to a cmd prompt but havent done anything else === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [01:20] JessicaRN: try bootrec /fixmbr [01:20] EriC^^: I have a new ubuntu thumb drive available as well as a boot-repair-disk thumb [01:20] completed successfully [01:21] but /fixboot fails [01:21] JessicaRN: what's it say? [01:21] "the volume does not contain a recognized file system".... blah blah blah [01:23] eric /rebuildbcd also fails. says "total identified windows installations: 0" [01:24] listening to ella and louie sing summertime. tasty [01:26] hmm try booting ubuntu again [01:27] EriC^^: my ubuntu doesn't have persistence, fyi [01:28] EriC^^: its up now [01:29] EriC^^: i see both volumes on the desktop [01:29] JessicaRN: nice are you able to access the files on both? [01:30] EriC^^: yeah. i have it all backed up. i just dont wanna havta rebuild the whole friggin machine [01:32] Hello Room if i do a sudo grub-probe -v -d /dev/md0 it gets lots of error messages [01:32] [01:32] how can i fix these drives? [01:32] i am not able to do a Sudo apt-get -f or anything [01:33] Hello. Is there a simple way to get WiFi to start at boot? Right now, I have to log in for NetworkManager to connect to the WiFi. I'd think such things should start by boot-level 3... [01:35] JessicaRN: hmm, no idea why windows wont see it, i'd say maybe try sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1 then 2, i'd ask in ##windows they might be able to help out with it better [01:36] EriC^^: should fsck return anything? [01:36] m5w: there's edit connections > then edit and in general choose connect whenever available [01:37] JessicaRN: yup i think it should mention it clean or so [01:37] EriC^^: it just says "fsck from util-linux 2.29" [01:40] JessicaRN: try sudo fsck.nfs -f /dev/sda1 [01:42] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25008177/ [01:42] EriC^^: command not found. this is a brand new ubuntu desktop downloaded today [01:45] I used to have a boyfriend named "ubuntu" [01:45] he would "play the bongos" on my ass [01:50] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:05] EriC^^: thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm on Kubuntu, so things might be slightly different, but I'm pretty sure the setting was "All users may connect to this network", since that's set by default for "Wired connection 1" but disabled for all wireless networks. [02:06] I'll reboot in a couple hours (currently running a long script) to test for sure [02:10] Jakethepython: What's df -T look like?

[02:34] Hi Lehthanis [02:35] strive: yay! a welcome! [02:35] ;) [02:35] Haha, rare I know. [02:36] so now can I ask my dumb questions? lol [02:37] You could ask your dumb question anytime. [02:37] well I feel better about it now that I actually got a warm welcome ;) [02:38] I'm currently running a pretty big website on a nice unmanaged dedicated server running 16.04 lts [02:38] it's bare metal...and I am thinking about virtualizing...qemu... [02:39] never done any virtualization and I know very little about it...wondering if there's a good starter guide or good light reading [02:39] or even some advice...I'll even take any "DON'T DO IT'S!!!" [02:42] I mainly want to know...can I install it and experiment with it without much danger to my LEMP stack already running live [02:45] Lehthanis, check out lxc [02:46] it seems that i can't upgrade packages or anything [02:47] Phanes: how does that differ from docker? [03:05] did something change in named/bind9? [03:05] I keep getting network unreachable resolving errors in syslog [03:06] and I can't seem to complete DNS requests [03:06] It seems to try and reach nameservers over ipv6 while I disabled ipv6 [03:47] hello room can someone please help me? [03:48] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [03:49] Is there a way I can run an entire desktop envrionment over ssh with x forwarding? [03:50] as in, when I log into my pc i get a remove x servers desktop instead of my local one [03:51] thewillo: you can use VNC [03:51] yeah, I could, but I'm wondering if there's a way to do it so that this computer has the other computers desktop at login [03:53] I know VNC does almost what I want, but ssh x forwarding with compression/encryption and support for a password longer than 8 characters would be preferable [03:54] If I have to, I'll use vnc though a compressed ssh tunnel but I was wondering if there was some way to do it the way I asked [03:55] not sure why vnc over ssh doesn't work for you [03:57] What's the best (free) back up service that works well in Ubuntu? I only wanna backup my git repos (so I'm not making commits just to backup). === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [04:13] where is the screen saver settings in ubuntu 17.10 when using gnome-session-flashback? [04:19] crc32: ubuntu+1 for 17.10 issues please [04:35] oh cool, til [04:37] can anyone confirm this network config will work on 16.04? dont want to reboot and lose access to remote box :P https://paste.ubuntu.com/25009080/ [04:37] i notice a lot of old questions on google instead saying to use the eth0:1 method, but afaik 16.04 has iproute2 which shouldnt use that [04:39] i can add the addresses temporarily and it works by simply doing `ip a add 192.168.1.202/24 dev eno3` but not sure how the ifup program runs things... [04:40] think im good, found another google result with the same way im doing it :) lets hope for the best! haha [04:42] Dan39: I have my doubts . the 1st assignment ;ppls good if "you" ,amahr networking on DHCP . [04:43] Looks* [04:43] * Dan39 tries to decipher the typoese [04:43] Hi, when I try to set display settings in unity-control-center an click on apply it shows this error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files [04:43] Please help [04:43] and ",amahr" is? lol [04:44] Yeah ... LOL ,... that be manage* .. too late here to pay attention . [04:44] Bashing-om: worked :) [04:45] got the dhcp address and also added the 2 static [04:45] thanks anyways :P [04:46] Dan39: beats me how you can assign the IP 3 ways to the same NIC . [04:46] heh [04:47] thats iproute2 for ya man [04:47] multiple IPs on 1 nic [04:47] ifconfig only shows the single interface with only 1 IP [04:47] ip a shows 3 IPs [04:49] Dan39: Just goes to show ; I have a lot to learn yet :) [04:49] dont we all :) [04:49] i have to learn ubuntu-isms now :P [04:49] just dont tell anybody [04:52] join #join [05:01] Hello, could anyone help me recover a file using testdisk? I need the file in order to regain an encrpytion key. [05:01] Or at least, I think that's what the file is, it's used for a feature called u-key another computer of mine has. [05:03] silicatewielder: what type of filesystem is the file on? [05:03] ehllo [05:03] why do you need to "recover" it? deleted? [05:03] need some help. trying to install this but stuck at the last step: https://github.com/imanel/nist-sphere [05:03] I honestly don't know for sure, I'm guessing it's fat32 as it was readable in Windows 10 [05:04] and was the file deleted? [05:04] automake doesn't go through [05:04] I need to recover it, without the file(s) I can't boot up my computer, a CMOS reset fails to clear my u-key settings [05:04] Ye [05:04] Tes, te file was deleted [05:04] required file `./install-sh' not found [05:04] and i'm stuck. [05:05] hows that a ubuntu problem? [05:06] i don't know..... [05:06] Agamemnus: autoconf ran i guess? [05:06] Agamemnus: is there a configure file now? [05:07] if the configure file got generated, go ahead and run it [05:07] I don't know actually, this was just the first channel that came to mind after having issues recovering the data. [05:07] configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.." [05:07] I have shtool installed so i dunno what's up [05:08] silicatewielder: what does fdisk say about the partition its on? [05:08] like does it indicate the partition type? [05:08] also look with parted which tries to guess the actual filesystem type [05:09] but for recovery the first thing you usually always do is ddrescue at least the mbr+partition, or the entire drive [05:09] i found something [05:09] https://askubuntu.com/a/27679 [05:09] somehow got it to run? [05:09] it is black magic over here [05:10] heh [05:10] its really forcing it Agamemnus :P [05:10] thats just hackish stuff i think [05:10] the project hasnt been touched in 3 years [05:10] who knows if itll work at all [05:10] fdisk? let me check [05:10] what is it for? [05:11] ugh, not quite there [05:11] gcc -g -O2 -L../../lib -o ../../bin/h_add h_add.o -lutil -lsp [05:11] /usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in ../../lib/libsp.a(exit.o) [05:11] /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Bad value [05:11] silicatewielder: just recover your whole disk with photorec, and see what it recovers [05:11] it's obvious what must be done, right? [05:12] i think thats bad advise lotuspsychje [05:13] Seriously black magic [05:13] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/errno-tls-definition-in-lib64-libc-so-6-section-tbss-mismatches-non-tls-reference-528681/ [05:13] a single answer from 2008 [05:13] Dan39: howso? [05:14] lotuspsychje: specifically in this situation where the file he wants is probably a random string of data. photorec is designed to find files of a certain structure like, and i quote " video, documents and archives" [05:14] and lost pictures obviously [05:14] Dan39: im using photorec for years now, recovered all my data needs [05:15] "PhotoRec searches for known file headers" [05:15] all your data needs were probably not plain encryption key files [05:15] but hey go for it, wont hurt i guess [05:15] the enctrpyion keys are actually stored within two files [05:15] uhoh [05:16] i have like 1000 undefined references now [05:16] so in theory if photorec can recover every file on the disk, then I have my u-key keys back [05:16] silicatewielder: any luck with fdisk telling us what the partition type is? [05:16] or parted? [05:16] Nope, I'm still guessing it's fat32 [05:17] Photorec is running as we speak though [05:17] silicatewielder: well what did fdisk show? -_- [05:17] give us some info! hehe [05:18] silicatewielder: if its a fat partition, testdisk should be able to actually recover the deleted file [05:19] it seems fdisk is only showing my hard disk, so gparted is being installed [05:19] no no... [05:19] thats silly [05:20] if its not visible to fdisk then i dont think it would be visible to parted... -_- [05:20] Now that's the thing, when I try and access the flashdrive with intel selected as the partition type it tells me the heads count may be incorrect [05:20] you ran `sudo fdisk -l` ? [05:20] if I scan it with none selected it tells me it cant recover the files [05:20] Yeah I ran fdisk -l [05:20] and it only shows your main drive? [05:20] not the drive you are trying to recover from? [05:21] it's showing up in gparted [05:21] wtf o_O [05:21] but yeah, for some reason fdisk isn't showing it [05:21] ikr? [05:21] can you screenshot that? [05:21] sorry i just have trouble believing it haha [05:21] yeah, let me run fdisk again [05:22] wtf [05:22] It's showing it now [05:22] ;) [05:23] dmesg? [05:23] maybe its going up n down [05:23] what do you mean? [05:23] like maybe the connection/driver is crashing [05:23] and then it reconnects [05:23] fdisk is showing that the drive has an fat32 partition [05:24] ok [05:24] testdisk that mofo and get your file back! [05:24] as long as you havnt written anything since :P [05:24] I'll try again [05:24] did you look at dmesg? [05:24] i have my suspicions [05:25] No, I haven't I'll check now [05:25] itll be obvious [05:25] lots of errors [05:25] yep, lots of errors [05:26] pastebin please? at least some of them [05:26] Already on it [05:26] and how are you hooking that drive to your computer? [05:26] this is an old flashdrive btw, I'm wondering if the soldering points are just becoming unreliable [05:26] via USB [05:26] ah [05:26] https://pastebin.com/GtBbhipw [05:26] ddrescue that bad boy asap [05:27] wait... sr1? o_o === D3V4 is now known as ASUR4 [05:27] what's sr1? [05:27] isnt sr1 optical drive... [05:27] I have no optical drive [05:27] whats fdisk show the usb stick as? [05:27] the drive shows up at dev/sdc [05:27] hmm [05:28] maybe those errors are something else [05:28] they showing for sr1... haha [05:28] dmesg | grep sdc [05:29] https://pastebin.com/ZwFhGfc7 [05:29] silicatewielder: hmm i see some ubuntu forums talking about usb drives coming up as sr1 sometimes [05:30] Are they? Huh. [05:30] silicatewielder: dont fsck 1st of all [05:30] what do you mean? [05:30] its a small usb stick im guessing? [05:31] Yeah, just 2gb, like I said, it's pretty old [05:31] go ahead and dd the whole stick first of all... [05:31] Alright [05:31] shouldnt take long for 2gb [05:31] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25009270/ [05:32] Okay, the help file is not so helpful to me, how do I go about dd'ing the drive? [05:32] my grub-probe command is ugly === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [05:33] usually ill do a dd like: dd if=/dev/sdc of=/path/to/myusbstick.img bs=1M status=progress [05:34] if you get an errors then we will have to move on to using ddrescue [05:34] alright, thanks [05:34] silicatewielder: and in that example youll just have to change the /path/to/myusbstick.img which is the file that will be created, aka the "out file" aka the of [05:35] be careful in typing dd commands [05:35] if you of= the wrong thing like /dev/sda then goodbye your system [05:35] I just copied the command and eddited the outpt diretory [05:36] Yeah I hear you, it's currently just wrting th file to the root of my user directory [05:36] Alright done. [05:36] Jakethepython: people still use grub-probe? :P [05:37] silicatewielder: that was fast haha, no errors? ls the file, is it 2G? [05:38] Yep, it's 2 gigs [05:38] and no errors [05:38] in this case yes..i'm having problems doing anyform up update or upgrade [05:38] it errors out everytime [05:39] silicatewielder: good, now make a copy of it :P [05:39] alrighty [05:39] then run this on the copy... sudo losetup -fP /path/to/copyofmyusb.img [05:40] that creates loopback device so we can work with the image file like its a drive plugged in [05:41] alright, got it [05:41] silicatewielder: now if you do fdisk -l you should even see the loop device [05:41] with its partitions [05:41] neat, eh? [05:42] It's... not showing up [05:42] uh oh :o [05:42] lemme try again [05:42] lol [05:42] no errors the first time? [05:42] what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:43] Dan39: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:43] Jakethepython: i dont know man, im not ubuntu expert, i usually just grub-mkconfig :\ [05:43] not sure ubuntu even has grub-mkconfig haha [05:44] alright, now it's showing up [05:44] silicatewielder: did you do anything different? o_O [05:44] Nope [05:44] wtf o_O [05:45] silicatewielder: anyways... [05:46] yeah, also photorec recovered files, but not the ones I wanted, or even knew were on here. [05:46] silicatewielder: what partitions are there? [05:46] like loop0p1, loop0p2? [05:46] loop1p1 [05:47] I don't see any other loopback partitions [05:47] well go ahead and fsck /dev/loop0p1 [05:47] then mount it and see what you have [05:47] hi, does anyone know how to configure which virtual terminal is chosen on boot? I'm booting to console but currently vt 7 (I think) is selected (no login prompt) but I have to do the old Ctrl-alt-F1 thing to switch back to vt 1 so I can login [05:48] eppa: it sounds like its trying to boot to graphical which is on vt7, which is why there is no prompt [05:48] its aying the dirtybit is active, should I go ahead and remove it or select no action? [05:48] silicatewielder: ummm sure, try whatever :P [05:48] you are working on a copy of a copy, so no harm... [05:48] Alright [05:48] Dan39: hmm ok, any idea how to stop it doing that? [05:49] eppa: do you only want console? [05:49] Do I want to copy the backup to the orginal or copy the original to the backup? [05:49] silicatewielder: no... [05:49] silicatewielder: what do you even mean? lol [05:49] Dan39: yeah only console, but option to run `startx` if required [05:49] those are the two options it gave me [05:49] silicatewielder: like overwrite the 1st .img with the backup .img? [05:49] eppa: systemctl get-default [05:49] silicatewielder: o haha [05:50] silicatewielder: ummm [05:50] i already did 3 which was no [05:50] lol [05:50] what exactly did it say? [05:50] Dan39: multi-user.target [05:50] eppa: hmm thats suppose to be straight to console then, odd [05:50] it says "dd if=/dev/sdc of=/path/to/myusbstick.img bs=1M status=progress" [05:50] eppa: systemctl status displaymanager [05:51] or maybe its display-manager [05:51] err [05:51] if its enabled, disable it [05:51] "/dev/loop1p1: 560 files, 382677/487167 clusters [05:51] " [05:51] i hope you arent pasting more than like 3 lines silicatewielder :P [05:51] that's just one line [05:51] I failed to copy the first time [05:52] Dan39: ok lightdm was still enabled, have disabled it and will try a reboot now ty [05:52] hopefully that was it [05:52] Dan39: so, what do I do now? [05:53] silicatewielder: fsck it again and say yes to everything lol [05:53] the loop0p1 that is [05:53] then mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt/ [05:53] or where ever [05:54] alright [05:54] Done [05:54] does the file happen to be there? haha [05:55] I don't see anything new [05:55] Dan39: hrm, still switches to the blank vt at boot :/ [05:55] eppa: odd [05:56] eppa: systemd-analyze critical-chain [05:56] I'm analyzing the drive again in testdisk [05:56] silicatewielder: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk:_undelete_file_for_FAT [05:57] run that on the loop0p1 btw [05:57] no need to be putting any more stress on the physical thumbdrive :P [05:57] loop0 should be an exact copy of it [05:58] Dan39: https://pastebin.com/W6mfshs0 [05:59] I'd do that but loop1p1 isn't howing up in testdisk [05:59] eppa: well im out of quick ideas :P [05:59] Dan39: hehe, well thanks for trying :) [06:00] silicatewielder: it should, the testdisk wiki itself has them running it on /dev/loop0 :P [06:01] silicatewielder: try testdisk /dev/loop0 [06:01] Huh, oh well I guess. I found a bunch of stuff after performing analysis though [06:01] I'll try that [06:01] may want to copy that 1st .img you made again and do another losetup on the 2nd copy [06:01] then try testdisk on that [06:02] umount the loop0p1 also :P [06:02] Alright [06:02] and you can also losetup -d /dev/loop0 [06:02] which removes the device [06:02] or try testdisk'ing it first, i dunno [06:02] just try all the things [06:03] Now this is interesting, the image shows as having more sectors than the drive does [06:03] but I lose access to the partitions that I can see on the physical drive [06:04] o_O [06:04] lose access? [06:04] Yeah, as in they just don't show up in the copy [06:05] Also, this drive shows up as two devices normally in testdisk [06:05] screenshots? [06:06] weird stuff happening.. [06:06] the second one seems to be the utilities that came with the drive [06:06] It's a u3 drive [06:06] oh god [06:07] indeed [06:07] I can't see the 2gb part of the drive now [06:07] "A U3 flash drive presents itself to the host system as a USB hub with a CD drive and standard USB mass storage device attached." [06:07] Yep. [06:08] that mustve been the sr1 [06:08] That makes sense, I literally forgot about the cd portion of the drive [06:08] * Dan39 smacks silicatewielder [06:08] dont use that word again :P [06:09] * silicatewielder rubs his cheek. [06:09] Hold on, I'm gonna grab a second drive I have, I'm wondering something now. [06:09] this is interesting though [06:11] this is wierd [06:12] testdisk isn't showing my other drive. [06:12] fdisk? [06:12] I got it working, and now I'm doing a deepscan on the drive [06:13] Could take a minute, this is a 16 gb drive [06:15] how old are those drives? [06:15] ths other drive is barely 6 months old [06:16] I'm wondering if I may have put the files on this drive when I was messing with my BIOS originally [06:16] maybe dont get these weird U3 drives in the future :P [06:17] hi.. i can see there is no more option in System Setting [06:18] it was given to me, but I'm gonna keep this drive for experiments, I want to see if I can rewrite the portion that presents itself as a CD [06:18] im pretty sure you wont be able to make it show up as anything but an optical drive [06:18] and the wiki page says it is read-only [06:18] That's not what i meant, I'm gonna see if I can store some utilities on it. [06:19] I know, although windows was able to delete the u3 partition [06:19] http://imgur.com/a/k8qmy hi.. i can see there is no more option in System Setting [06:19] hmm [06:21] silicatewielder: looks like for some drives you are right, you can remove it! haha [06:21] this other site says you can remove it and make it into a normal drive, but that it is irreversible [06:22] seems like a neat idea actually [06:22] but proprietary, so meh [06:23] silicatewielder: well im going to sleep. good luck, and hopefuly you learned a couple new things :D [06:24] Thanks, and have a nice night [06:27] http://imgur.com/a/k8qmy hi.. i can see there is no more option in System Setting [06:56] The volume keys on my Dell XPS 15 9560 (running Ubuntu 17.04) recently started misbehaving, it takes around 30 seconds from when I press volume up/down to when it actually changes the volume [06:57] it worked fine up until some time last week, brightness buttons are also not working properly [06:59] @sonu_nk, I had a similar issue last week and I think what fixed it for me was reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop package and then rebooting [07:04] I can see using xev that the keypresses immediately trigger for example XF86AudioLowerVolume, so there must be somewhere else that the volume command gets buffered and delayed === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:31] hey there ... i have a weird issue with my ubuntu installation. using ubuntu gnome 16.10 and it fails to show the login screen [07:31] lastaid: try ctrl+alt+f1, login then type sudo systemctl restart gdm [07:32] i can manually Ctrl Alt + 4 to get a terminal, login and startx but something broken and i don't know how to fix thaty [07:32] aaah [07:32] but will this work after a restart? [07:32] lastaid: did it work right now? [07:32] i am writing from ubuntu, just did the ctrl alt f1 and startx thing [07:32] hangon [07:32] brb === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:46] Hmm... I'm look on that Cannonical refused Unity DE and use gnome instead it and what will be with ubuntu gnome? [07:47] Is it continue existence as is (clean Gnome), or it will be merged with official ubuntu? === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:03] Hi all, I'm having a problem with my ubuntu 16.04 Gnome login Graphic interface. When I boot up my machine it fails to appear, I am able to log in by pressing ctrl + alt + F1 but have to keep pressing it to see the screen which other wise goes black. I assume the graphic interface packages are corrupt but I dont know how to check of fix this? [08:04] bluewolf: try ctrl+alt+f1 then login and type sudo systemctl restart gdm [08:04] if it works type sudo systemctl enable gdm [08:05] EriC^^: Alright, give me a moment. [08:07] exit [08:08] EriC^^: It does not appear to have done a thing. I entered sudo systemctl restart gdm and nothing has changed [08:10] is it systemct "i" or "l"? [08:12] systemctl [08:12] L [08:13] okay, use i. will try again [08:13] *I used "i". [08:13] use tab completion to avoid issues like this [08:16] m0j0dj0dj0: Yeah nothing has happened with the first command. Do I run the second? "sudo systemctl enable gdm" [08:17] what systemctl status gdm return ? [08:18] There wasn't any return [08:20] I restarted it and that was that? [08:20] "systemctl status gdm" should return an output [08:25] m0j0dj0dj0: Alright there is some out put. Though I am not sure what to make of it. The top line is as follows: gdm3 [974}] : Unable to kill session worker process [08:26] Two lines down from that is: gdm3 [974] : Child process -1834 was already dead [08:27] Beneath that: gdm3 [974] : Child process 1821 was already dead. [08:27] And then the top one again [08:28] paste ur output here https://paste.ubuntu.com/ and send the link [08:33] I'm stuck with the EFI shell after a new installation of Ubuntu 16.04LTS on a new Gigabyte Brix Pro i7. I googled for hints but nothing that does the trick comes up. [08:34] I had the installer use LVM and auto-configure the partitions. [08:37] m0j0dj0dj0: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25009938/ [08:41] disable the uefi shell boot option seems to have done the trick [08:44] any android dev here that could help me with this question. https://github.com/floschl/locus-addon-wearables should here two apk's be compiled in android studio? (one for wear and one for phone)? [08:47] m0j0dj0dj0: Does that show any issues? [08:48] msev-: This is #ubuntu , you want #android-dev [08:57] bluewolf: can u try to restart it "systemctl restart gdm" paste the output if it fail, it happend from your first boot today ? [08:59] m0j0dj0dj0: Alright I'll try. No I have a dual boot so I have been in windows for the past two days. I think I no what caused it though. Performing a hard restart while on the login screen instead of restarting properly. [09:00] m0j0dj0dj0: I don't know how to get the output of its fail from restarting? [09:01] papapishu: does the "volume keys delay" occurs when when the disk is busy or idle, or is that not always the case! [09:03] m0j0dj0dj0: Not to mention as well, every three seconds I have to keep pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to reveal the screen. Which keeps blacking out, so its difficult to get information or type commands [09:07] ok what ctrl+alt+f2 shows you ? [09:08] The same as ctrl+alt+f1 [09:09] ok it asks you to log in right ? [09:10] Yes it does [09:10] When I log in, is the same as F1 [09:10] It does not showanything [09:17] m0j0dj0dj0: Any other ideas? [09:49]  [10:38] sary: it's always delayed, I did some more messing about and it seems like notify-osd might be having some issues [10:38] notify-send stalls for 50 seconds and never shows anythong [10:39] started to wonder if those two are related [10:58] is there a terminal emulator that supports really massive scrollback? [10:58] I keep trying different ones and setting scrollback to 10000 lines and it acts like nothings wrong but it doesn't have 10000 lines of scrollback [11:00] just unselect 'limit scrollback' in terminal > edit > profile https://askubuntu.com/questions/632202/how-do-i-increase-the-number-of-lines-shown-on-the-ubuntu-terminal-window [11:00] oerheks, which terminal? [11:00] standard gnome-terminal inubuntu? [11:00] the default one that came with ubuntu stopped working on me [11:01] I click the icon, it launches, then it closes before I have a chance to see much [11:01] tried uninstall and reinstall with no luck [11:01] I've been using lxterm for my local pc, and terminator is configured to automatically start a ssh session when i open it [11:02] I like terminator because of the window splitting [11:02] but it doesn't give me enough scrollback [11:03] so, if I get gnome-terminal working, it will support unlimited scrollback? [11:03] thewillo: you can set terminator to use 'infinite scrollback' via its prefs [11:04] glitsj16, cool, I set it to 10000 and I have way less than 10000 lines, I'll try unlimited [11:04] foundit, scrollback_infinite = True >> https://askubuntu.com/a/618476 [11:04] is it could to cause a problem if I have like, millions of lines of scrollback? === bs is now known as Guest40195 === bs_ is now known as bs [11:04] yes, your log will grow [11:04] but besides a growing log? [11:05] like check i use the clear command will it remove it from the logs? [11:05] wow, check=if === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [11:05] no, clear will only refresh your window/tty [11:05] do the logs get trimmed or truncated? [11:06] sudo commands do not get logged [11:06] err.. wrong, forget it [11:06] well, can I disable logging for a specific terminal window? === RAX is now known as rax- [11:07] * thewillo zero's RAX and calls ret === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [11:36] if I add "myusername ALL=(ALL) ALL" to /etc/sudoers then I should no longer have to do "sudo" before commands, right? [11:36] or would it be "myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL"? [11:49] nevermind, enabled wheel and added myself to that group. [11:53] Hello everyone, whever i try to do a apt-get upgrade i get an error message [11:56] tcpdump: ubuntu doesn't use the wheel group [11:56] Hello what kind of error ? paste it https://paste.ubuntu.com/ Jakethepython [11:58] tcpdump: how did you do it? [11:59] Hi folks [12:05] hey BluesKaj [12:06] hi tcpdump [12:08] akik: created a wheel group with NOPASSWD:ALL then added my user to it. [12:08] Just for old time sake. :D [12:10] jusat add it to sudoer [12:10] just [12:12] BluesKaj: I want other users without having to enumerate through them. [12:12] just add them to a group, done. [12:12] home user here [12:28] m0j0dj0dj0: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25010947/ [12:29] sorry for the delay [12:35] Jakethepython: could you return : df -h [12:38] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25010994/ [12:41] Good morning! Ubuntu (Debian?) has a ¨applocker¨ style program/setup. I forgot its name. Any idea? [12:42] Jakethepython, ls /boot , please; i think you somehow removed the /boot/System.map-3.16.0-77-generic [12:44] ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011033/ [12:46] Jakethepython, are you booting the 4.4.0-72 right now ? uname -r [12:46] 4.4.0-59-generic [12:48] Jakethepython, sudo apt full-upgrade, what it says ? [12:49] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011060/ [12:51] Jakethepython, sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.16.0-77-generic [12:52] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011068/ [12:53] Jakethepython, ok, i think you need to remove that with sudo dpkg -P === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [12:55] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011085/ [12:57] Jakethepython, dpkg -l | grep linux-image | pastebinit [12:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25011109/ [13:00] Jakethepython, you did a do-release-upgrade from trusty to xenial ? [13:01] not that i know of [13:01] Jakethepython, cat /var/log/installer/media-info [13:02] Ubuntu-Server 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) [13:02] Jakethepython, so ... [13:02] Jakethepython, you did [13:04] Yes you are correct [13:06] Jakethepython, idk, it looks like you tried to manually remove the old 3.16 kernel .... [13:07] because we thought that was what was causing problems [13:07] Jakethepython, no, it does not if not selected [13:08] Jakethepython, but the question is how to fix your issue ... [13:08] yes [13:09] sudo dpkg --force-all -P linux-image-extra-3.16.0-77-generic linux-image-3.16.0-77-generic i think this is the one you were taking about when this command was sent [13:11] Jakethepython, let's try it [13:11] Jakethepython, but also 4.4.72 is broken [13:13] so basically you're saying both are broken? [13:14] Jakethepython, 3.16 and 4.4.0.72 , yes [13:14] so now how to fix it...is really the question and to untangle a big mess [13:16] When I ping DC01 I got reply PING dc01.contoso.local (192.168.254.1) 56(84) bytes of data. but when I ping dc01.contoso.local I get ping: unknown host dc01.contoso.local. Why when I add my domain prefix it's unable to find it? nslookup works fine. I got it only with 1 machine in my network (Ubuntu 16) [13:20] Jakethepython, have you tried the command you suggested ? [13:23] yes [13:23] Jakethepython, and ? [13:24] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011277/ [13:24] horrible results [13:25] Jakethepython, not horrible, it's the same [13:26] Jakethepython, ls /lib/modules/3.16.0-77-generic ; but already known the the outcome [13:27] ls: cannot access '/lib/modules/3.16.0-77-generic': No such file or directory [13:27] yep [13:29] Jakethepython, let's try sudo apt install linux-generic [13:29] same result [13:30] shouldn't " sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get install -f " fix that for you! or dpkg --remove linux-image . [13:31] Jakethepython, ^ sary [13:32] hi - quick question - will the mainline kernel packages work with the packaged nvidia driver ? Or would I have to manually install from .RUN file ? [13:34] (i'm using nvidia PPA btw ) [13:35] yossarianuk, you would need to install manually indeed, mainline does not work with our nvidia AFAIK [13:35] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011327/ [13:36] ‎oerheks: thanks for the info !

[14:11] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011523/ [14:12] So does version 17.04 of Ubuntu carry any significant improvement over 16.04? [14:12] I'm on the LTS version but can't help wondering if I'm missing out [14:12] ioria i have no idea [14:12] Jakethepython, oky [14:13] Jakethepython: ok, try rebooting and go to advanced in grub > then choose the .59 kernel unless ioria wants to do something before that [14:13] EriC^^, nope [14:13] Jakethepython: ok give it a shot [14:13] OK [14:15] https://franz.com/products/allegrocache/ or a free alternative [14:15] Hi, how can i ask to dhclient to get a new ip from the dhcp server ? "dhclient -r eth0 && rm /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases && dhclient" give me the same ip address [14:15] sorry meant for #lisp [14:16] m0j0dj0dj0: That's up to the dhcp server and it's lease time configuration [14:16] humm so i have to change my mac ? [14:17] You can set up static ip addresses from the dhcp server [14:17] if by change you mean spoof, then I guess so. Though I don't recommend messing with that [14:18] generic upstart or revovery? [14:18] recovery [14:18] Jakethepython: generic, without upstart or recovery [14:18] Are we talking ipv4 private ip's here? Because if so MESS with that [14:18] ok [14:18] its booting [14:19] Jakethepython: nice [14:19] Jakethepython: once it boots try "sudo apt-get install -f" [14:19] ok [14:19] Ipv6 the only thing that needs generated ip's is PXE boot which needs to exist before the address is negotiated. [14:23] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25011574/ [14:23] Jakethepython: hmm the uuid grub is complaining about changed now [14:23] i dont know crap about raid stuff tbh, do you have a clue? [14:24] EriC^^, lol [14:24] no someone else set up the raid and that's when it died LOL [14:24] Jakethepython: are you still using raid or it's like not needed anymore? [14:25] nothing is on the raid at the moment i will need it in the future [14:25] because as soon as i went to use it that's when i found the problems [14:25] enabling mac randomization in NM did the trick [14:26] there are 3 hdd's in the box one is the system drive [14:26] the other 2 are raided data..those have no data on them at this time however there is stuff on the system drive that is needed [14:26] EriC^^, i guess he phisically removed some part of the 3.16 kernel , like /boot/System.map-3.16.0-77-generic and /lib/modules/3.16.0-77-generic [14:27] ioria: isn't the error a grub related error though? it's grub-probe that's failing [14:27] if he runs grub-probe it'll give the same error [14:28] the raid probably needs some configuring and maintaining or something, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [14:29] Jakethepython: try "cat /proc/mdstat | nc termbin.com 9999" [14:29] so could i remove the raid for now fix it and then reimpliment? [14:29] http://termbin.com/ug0l [14:30] Jakethepython: yes i believe so [14:31] OK [14:31] I didn't do any of the RAID stuff so now to figure out how to remove it :) [14:31] So you configure raid in linux instead of in BIOS? ok Section in The linux handbook [14:31] yes its 100% software raid [14:32] although there is an intel RAID controller they could not get that to work properly so they used software raid [14:32] after all of that is when i started to have problems w/ the system [14:33] Jakethepython, classified as raid issue, then [14:33] Jakethepython: try "sudo mdadm --query --detail /dev/md127 | nc termbin.com 9999" [14:34] sudo mdadm --query --detail /dev/md127 | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:34] http://termbin.com/3dje [14:34] Linux raid is a bit slower (more protocol layers) but can run on versatile hardware and recovery is simpler. [14:39] Jakethepython: try "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" [14:39] the errors i found online point to linux not being able to recognize the partition anymore for some reason and it usually gets fixed after a reboot [14:40] http://termbin.com/u7if [14:40] it's reading it all fine [14:41] so everything is just broken [14:44] as far as i can tell it looks very good [14:44] the drives are ok but is it a boot issue? [14:44] the 2 ntfs one's are raided redundantly with 2 partitions [14:44] yes [14:45] and the linux one is raid0 [14:45] yes it should be [14:45] it's a grub issue, for some reason it can't find the disk and quits [14:45] /join ##linux the guys there might know more about this [14:46] is somethin pointing to the wrong disk array to find these thigns? [14:47] i have no idea to be honest, this line is the one it fails on grub-probe: error: disk `mduuid/7b3fb0a7e397b9d354c21b454a87d6d4,1' not found [14:47] Thank you for helping trouble shoot :) [14:47] no problem :) [14:47] Jakethepython: can you try, lsblk -f (that gives the uuid of disks [14:47] Hi all.

This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows. [15:39] nacc, was asking here because only 6 people in that channel...they are nice just figured more folks here might have gotten a desktop environment going on uow but I was told no background processes so that is why i asked about systemd [15:45] donofrio: we really can't support ubuntu-on-windows here === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [15:51] Hello, I have ubuntu 16.04 installed and have just read this, should I think about applying this patch? :~ https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/06/msg00308.html I have a processor that is indicated as being of concern.

[15:57] mrig, np, work in progress i guess [15:59] ioria: I will just disable hyper-threading for now ... [16:00] yep [16:01] Then keep an eye on it, will ask in #debian too. [16:01] Thanks. === graingert is now known as jreback === jreback is now known as graingert [16:03] mrig, the issue maybe in a denial of service attack, afsik [16:04] ioria: A botnet via the cpu? I am aware of talk of backdoors in the firmware, is this related to the same? [16:06] could be I suppose, shucks those are some bad business decisions. [16:06] SpacePotatoBear, general problem solving patterns apply: Try and distill it into as small of a test case as possible that reproduces your issue, investigate what parts could be at fault, if you can't solve it, certainly by all means open a bug with the information you've been able to collect [16:07] mrig, http://www.zdnet.com/article/debian-linux-reveals-intel-skylake-kaby-lake-processors-have-broken-hyper-threading/ [16:07] jer my ubuntu dev friend has repoduced it, I'm gonna post on askubuntu to make sure its not a code issue [16:09] ioria: well I have noticed some bugs, but as I am learning to code in c, I thought they were of my own creation :D Shoot if the proc is giving undefined behaviour ... [16:10] mrig, no c problem, i think [16:11] mrig, hardware bugs happen periodically... they're not as rare as people think =] usually it's compiler devs that find them though, and provide solutions locally for affected systems [16:11] (that said, they're not exactly common either) [16:12] right, oner asus example : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1701873 [16:12] Launchpad bug 1701873 in linux (Ubuntu) "Unable to boot with Latest kernel 4.4.0-83 update" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:15] jer: The more I learn the more amazed I am that the whole thing works, incredible achievement really. [16:17] mrig, indeed, it's not unlike a house of cards in some sense. the more complicated the hardware gets the more things lean on software which is far more prone to bugs [16:18] Well my proc is listed as being patch-able, I am tempted to go ask at debian if there are any horror stories and then give it an application. [16:18] i mean just see VLIW based cpu architectures, or TTA architectures... scheduling of instructions is required by the compiler engineer, there's no dynamic instruction scheduling hardware onboard =] [16:18] imagine the problems that can produce heh [16:18] Timing is unfathomable, I mean the whole multi processor thing too... [16:20] Yes and it allows for cross platform code to work too, I mean relatively easy if you only have a small subset of devices, but all of the different hardware too, wow. [16:20] multiprocessing is getting worse too; more and more asymmetric processors being released, where say, 2 of the cores run at 2.4ghz, but the other two run at 1.25ghz [16:20] ^^ something the software world is by and large unprepared to handle [16:20] ouf ... Thus the run to lambadas I suppose. [16:21] To functional orientated programming, I think is the term. [16:21] mostly a mobile problem atm, but it'll spread i'm sure [16:22] Well I am happy learning about the basic c libs for now, and can run vim in a terminal quite happily on 1 cpu :) [16:23] The hyper-threading turns the computer into a hairdryer! [16:23] heh, well i fell into function dev almost by accident -- started removing state management from core of my applications and pushing it out to the edges, helped me start to see opportunities to compose functions together further reducing the amount of code i had to maintain; which led me to more and more funcitonal topics, and into functional languages =] [16:26] Different code between the core and the states, I guess that the language that you use allows for this abstraction; Or perhaps multiple languages? [16:26] Ah, it is all interesting. Can certainly see why it is desirable to simplify where possible. [16:27] When I do getfacl on a directory, it has a "default" entry. Any idea what this means? [16:29] mrig, nah do this in any language i want to really... i wrote server side in c, ruby, perl even for a number of years, moved into mobile applications for the last 8 years prior to the last working mostly in objc and swift... now i'm working in erlang and elixir on messaging and data ingestion systems [16:30] mrchairman: did you chekc the man page on it, yet? [16:31] tomreyn, I'm just trying to understand what a default access control list is [16:31] mrchairman, old article, but pretty well described here https://askubuntu.com/questions/465381/grant-permission-for-new-created-files-inside-folder-automatically [16:31] incl default ACL [16:31] thanks oerheks [16:32] ah sorry didnt get that [16:32] To set default acl use -d key ..

I have 3 swap partitions of 4 GB each. I got an 8 GB RAM, I don't think I need than 4 GB of swap [17:49] donalsd, why 3 swap partitions? [17:51] DarkPsydeLord: I actually have 3 Linux distros in my computer, one that I recently installed in the new SSD that I got. The other ones are in the HDD. [17:51] DarkPsydeLord: I didn't know how swaps are used, so I created one each time I installed a new OS [17:52] DarkPsydeLord: So, I have a swap on the SSD. So I think I will be removing the HDD swaps. [17:54] donalsd: You can do that . just in each release in the /etc/fstab file set the swap partition UUID that you want to use ( sudo blkid) . [17:55] good afternoon [17:55] hey i have lubuntu 16.04 installed on an old 64 bit netbook. It is running some networking scripts & services in the background. I have the lid set to do nothing when closed both on batt & AC. It seems that whenever the screen is closed that my scripts & services stop running? [17:55] lenovo ideapad 100s 11 lby issue [17:55] how to resolve it ? [17:55] if I SSH to it, or open it up the services are accessible immediately [17:56] Bashing-om: I didn't get that, could you please explain? I don't want to mess with /etc/fstab in a wrong way. XD [17:56] oh! i see, well donalsd safest way to do it is to disable swap using swapoff then formating to whatever you wanted to [17:56] what is happenning and how can i fix it [17:59] donalsd: Take a look ( text editor ) at the files in the respective systems' /etc/fstab . Now decide which swap partiton is going to be used . Next see what the UUID is of the desired swap partiton as related from ' sudo blkid' . That gives you the Unique ID . in each system change the UUID of the swap partiton to be "that" UUID . [18:00] Bashing-om: I want to remove those other swaps and only use one 4 GB swap. Is that the correct procedure? [18:02] help me please [18:02] donalsd: Yepper . just make sure prior to deleteing the no longer wanted partitions that there is no error in the fstab files and each system boots up with no complaints and that the desired swap is functioanl in each system. Then delete the unwanted swap partitions . [18:05] Bashing-om: What happens to the partitions after that? Are they merged or something? [18:06] donalsd: Depends on what you want to do . but no . whatever takes palce after is an action you must undertake . [18:06] place* [18:07] Bashing-om: https://pastebin.com/qfjeWCtL this is the output, which lines do I wipe off? [18:08] donalsd: encryption at play here . best have advise from those who have done it . [18:09] Bashing-om: Can I simply remove those swaps using GParted? [18:09] lavinho: what's the issue? [18:10] donalsd: Nope . with encryption not that easy I do not think . I have not been there so I am hesitant to offer further advise . [18:11] Bashing-om: Alright, thanks. [18:11] hello. got a packaged version mismatch in ubuntu [18:11] cannot install gnome-calendar-dbgsym [18:11] lavinho: i do not understand "11 lby issue" [18:11] it mismatches with the version of gnome-calendar that is provided [18:11] donalsd: Reak in the channek about 30 minutes or so apart . See who pops up with the skills . [18:12] boboma: what version of ubuntu are you running and why are you trying to install gnome-calendar-dbgsym? [18:13] !info gnome-calendar-dbgsym | boboma [18:13] boboma: Package gnome-calendar-dbgsym does not exist in zesty [18:13] it also doesn't exist in xenial [18:14] freeexing [18:14] leftyfb: boboma ^^ PPA issue ?? . Maybe not supported in the release that is intalled ? [18:14] freezing [18:14] lavinho: you're going to have to be more specific than that. Also, use more words. [18:14] lavinho: that machine is a great doorstop, you've been told this 100 times [18:15] stop system [18:15] blocking the system [18:15] lavinho: do you speak English? [18:16] no [18:16] portuguese [18:16] !pt | lavinho [18:16] lavinho: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [18:17] donalsd: please place /etc/crypttab on a pastebin [18:18] tomreyn: https://pastebin.com/bDabk0Vb [18:20] donalsd: so which of your swap partitions would you like to keep, if any? you have (or rather, you used to have, during OS installation) /dev/sda10 /dev/sda13 /dev/sdb2 [18:21] leftyfb, i run zesty [18:21] and i want to install obviously for debugging reasons [18:21] boboma: why are you trying to install gnome-calendar-dbgsym? [18:21] obviously? [18:22] because it crashes so i need to run it with debug-symbols [18:22] but theres a version mismatch [18:22] how comes? [18:23] boboma: post the error message to pastebin [18:24] tomreyn: /dev/sdb is the SSD, so having a swap there could be beneficial, right? [18:24] leftyfb, https://paste.debian.net/974589/ [18:25] this should be fixed by the package maintainers [18:25] donalsd: possibly more useful than on a classic HDD, yes. [18:25] tomreyn: So, /dev/sdb2 is staying [18:25] donalsd: can you show the output of "sudo lsblk -o +UUID" so we can confirm this? [18:26] boboma: apt-cache policy gnome-calendar-dbgsym [18:27] donalsd: and please don't make me colve captchas to access what you posted this time. ;) [18:27] tomreyn: Sure! [18:27] *solve [18:27] tomreyn: Did you have to solve the captcha the first time? [18:27] leftyfb, https://paste.debian.net/974591/ [18:28] tomreyn: Because I forgot to solve it on the second work, not sure if I need to solve it once or it needs to be solved again and again. [18:28] donalsd: yes, pastebin.com has this issue under some circumstances. it also warns you about it when you post. there are alternatives to pastebin.com [18:28] did you run apt update before installing, boboma ? [18:28] donalsd: just once [18:28] !paste | donalsd [18:28] donalsd: 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. [18:29] oerheks, yes [18:29] seems like a version mismatch on the package servers to me [18:30] boboma, do you have proposed enabled? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/zesty/+package/gnome-calendar-dbgsym [18:30] no [18:30] tomreyn: I am using paste.debian [18:30] https://paste.debian.net/974592/ tomreyn [18:30] Hi [18:31] Would someone be able to re-review my cdimage mirror for official status? [18:32] tomreyn: Also, too many partitions there. Will need to remove em. So, excuse that not so good looking HDD for now. xD [18:33] donalsd: can you swapoff sda10 and sda13 ? [18:34] pavlos: Is that safe? [18:35] donalsd: thinking out loud ... sdb2 is active so the system will continue to have swap if needed [18:35] pavlos: Alrighty [18:37] donalsd: that's fine. i think you want to: sudo swapoff /dev/mapper/cryptswap3 && sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap3; sudo swapoff /dev/mapper/cryptswap2 && sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap2 [18:37] donalsd: actually no, sorry. [18:38] donalsd: what your swapiness value ... cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness [18:38] donalsd: that's fine. i think you want to: sudo swapoff /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 && sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap1; sudo swapoff /dev/mapper/cryptswap2 && sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap2 [18:38] tomreyn: Doesn't cryptswap3 link to sdb? [18:38] donalsd: right, you want to keep this one [18:39] tomreyn: What does cryptsetup luksClose do btw? [18:39] donalsd: it disables an active crypto block device. i.e. it tells the kernel to stop using it as a crypto device. [18:40] okay. So executing the last command you wrote. [18:40] Would someone be able to re-review my Ubuntu cdimage mirror for official status? [18:41] tomreyn: sudo swapoff /dev/mapper/cryptswap2 && sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap2 [18:41] tomreyn: device-mapper: remove ioctl on cryptswap2 failed: Device or resource busy [18:41] pavlos: swapiness- 60 [18:41] donalsd: hmm ad that's the only error there? [18:42] *and [18:42] AntonM: Thats not something that would be dealt with in this channel, you'd need to contact the people you've already arranged it with [18:42] tomreyn: Yes. I guess. [18:42] It is. [18:43] donalsd: it was probably just too fast, let's sync first: sync && sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap1 [18:43] tomreyn: I have turned off cryptswap1 [18:43] Shouldn't it be cryptswap2? [18:43] donalsd: i meant to say 2 :-/ [18:43] Alrighty [18:43] xD [18:44] luckily there's no chance of data loss here ;) [18:44] tomreyn: Device cryptswap2 is not active. [18:44] Guess it did turn off after all. [18:44] AntonM: you may ask in #ubuntu-mirrors and or e-mail mirrors@ubuntu.com [18:44] yes thats my guess, too [18:45] tomreyn: Should I do a sudo swapoff /dev/mapper/cryptswap2 && sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptswap2 again? [18:45] donalsd: let's check what'S still active: cat /proc/swaps [18:46] tomreyn: /dev/dm-0 partition 4469244 1134272 -1 [18:46] donalsd: does 'sudo dmsetup ls' still list cryptswap1 or cryptswap2 ? [18:47] tomreyn: No, only cryptswap3 [18:48] donalsd: so you can now remove the lines about cryptswap1 and cryptswap2 off /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab, then remove those partitions. [18:49] tomreyn: Okay, I will show you the final face of the fstab and crypttab once I am done editing, okay? [18:49] donalsd: ok [18:50] my ethernet connection goes down after a few minutes of the computer being idle - any ideas? [18:50] tomreyn: Which lines do you mean, the ones at the end? Or all of them mentioning the swaps I don't need? [18:51] tomreyn: https://paste.debian.net/974597/ mention the line numbers please [18:52] tomreyn: Only 18, 19? [18:52] donalsd: lines 12 to 15 and 18 to 19 [18:52] The others are comments I guess? [18:53] donalsd: 12 to 15 are just comments, but they referred to those swaps which you're removing, so no need to keep them. [18:53] Got it [18:55] tomreyn: crypttab now? [18:55] donalsd: yes [18:55] donalsd: just remove lines 1 and 2 there obviously [18:56] donalsd: if you would like cryptswap3 to be called differently on next boot you could just rename 'cryptswap3' in /etc/crypttab now [18:57] tomreyn: Leaving that as it is won't be a problem I guess? [18:57] donalsd: that'll be fine [18:58] New fstab https://paste.debian.net/974598/ [18:58] Old crypttab https://paste.debian.net/974600/ [18:59] donalsd: okay, the new fstab looks good. [19:00] tomreyn: New crypttab https://paste.debian.net/974601/ [19:01] donalsd: looks good to me. [19:01] tomreyn: Now? [19:02] donalsd: you're done. you could remove those partitions which used to store crypttab1 and crypttab2 [19:02] tomreyn: Just GParted them and merge them to another partition? [19:03] donalsd: you could just remove them using gparted and extend adjacent partitons and the file systems (or other block device layers on them) to cover the additional space, yes. [19:04] tomreyn: Alright, deleting those partitions using Gparted [19:04] donalsd: so that's sda10 and sda13 [19:04] tomreyn: Yes, thanks mate! [19:04] donalsd: be careful to hit the correct partitons ;) [19:04] Yeah, I am reverifying them :D [19:05] donalsd: and of coure syou shoul dhave current backups before modifying the partiton table [19:05] donalsd: is line 17 commented out? dont you need sdb2? [19:05] donalsd: again, just readable: and of course you should have current backups before modifying the partiton table [19:05] pavlos: Line 17 of what? fstab? [19:05] of this https://paste.debian.net/974597/ [19:06] pavlos: this is what donalsd' fstab looked like before he edited it. [19:06] pavlos: That was commented before I edited it. [19:07] oh ... ok [19:07] pavlos: it looks like this now https://paste.debian.net/974598/ [19:07] pavlos: and line 14 points to sda2 [19:08] pavlos: ... indirectly, since there's a luks crypto layer in between [19:08] tomreyn: donalsd got it, thx [19:08] tomreyn: Deleting /dev/sda10 and /dev/sda13 [19:08] !cookie | tomreyn [19:08] tomreyn: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [19:09] yummie! cookies AND partitions! [19:09] tomreyn: You do! [19:09] i hope i won't grow FAT [19:09] :facepalm: [19:10] tomreyn: Partition(s) 13 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes. [19:11] Was that still active? [19:12] donalsd: hmm, should not have been, we had luksClosed it and verified that using 'dmsetup ls' [19:12] tomreyn: So, does that look like a problem? [19:13] donalsd: no, but rebooting is probably still a good idea. [19:13] Alright, I hope my machine starts xD [19:13] donalsd: worst case it should hang for some minutes during boot, just wait then [19:13] up to 5 minutes [19:14] There are two options on the libparted "Cancel" or "ignore". That's a very hard choice. [19:14] donalsd: it should have the same effect. [19:14] ignoring [19:14] at least if you'll quit the application afterwards [19:15] for anyone who is interested, I was able to prove that the problem with my hostname setting was my DHCP "server" (stupid AT&T Arris router!) [19:19] tomreyn: Seems like both of them were active [19:20] Is there something I missed? [19:20] tomreyn: Partition(s) 10, 13 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes. === semeion is now known as mnemonic [19:21] donalsd: two things: i recommended to quit gparted and reboot after the first error was shown: i just realized i had asked "donalsd: donalsd: does 'sudo dmsetup ls' still list cryptswap1 or cryptswap2 ?" earlier but you seem to have not answered it. [19:22] ... and i jumped to the conclusion that you had run it and that there was no error. [19:22] tomreyn: it doesn't list them [19:22] tomreyn: Oh shit, it does now! [19:22] donalsd: okay then i'm not sure what's still having a handle on those partitons. but i'll all be fine once you rebooted. [19:23] tomreyn: I am rebooting then. Not finding swaps can lead to a failed reboot? [19:23] donalsd: it's possible that gparted itself tried to reactivate them [19:23] donalsd: donalsd: worst case it should hang for some minutes during boot, just wait then [19:24] tomreyn: Sure. [19:24] Rebooting [19:28] Tomreyn: Booted successfully [19:29] About 2 minutes ago. So, good speed. [19:29] donalsd: wohoo! [19:29] Tomreyn, thanks man! Really appreciate it. [19:30] When I was my last message again? "Rebooting" [19:31] donalsd: 7 minutes ago [19:31] From now? [19:31] from when i wrote "7 minutes ago".

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:32] sorry, i forgot what /amsg does [19:34] My wifi driver seems to have failed. [19:34] donalsd: this would be unrelated, though [19:34] Gives me off messages while booting. [19:34] Tomreyn. Yes. Hardware fault. [19:35] I guess. Happens sometimes. Not sure what causes it. Fixes itself. [19:37] Yea, wifi works now. [19:37] Fails to start the wifi driver at times [19:38] tomreyn: Thanks for the help, mate! :D [19:42] donalsd_: you're welcome. === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [19:53] Did something change with bind9 and dnssec? [19:53] I had to disable the dnssec validation because it fucked up dns requests [20:16] <_Trullo> stupid question coming up, I'm using 16.04 where is the startmenu with applications? [20:18] _Trullo, open dash, and select the white A on the bottom row [20:19] <_Trullo> open dash? [20:19] top icon on the sidebar [20:21] <_Trullo> nothing.. [20:21] <_Trullo> I have nothing installed? [20:23] trevorj: Maybe just not running unity as the desktop ? [20:26] the unity application thingy is ugly, but one can easily search on the searchbar in dash, same as gnome3 style [20:32] Trying to install a Mushkin SSD firmware update and their linux updater doesn't seem to be doing anything. Tried clicking it, tried running it in a terminal, no dice. Not sure what else to do. [20:32] Is it +x ? [20:33] no idea, do i need to set that?

[20:36] maybe it already was [20:36] also how do you run it [20:36] Mushkin_Updater-Linux: Command not found [20:36] i was just doing [20:36] okay you need to prefix this with ./ [20:36] Mushkin_Updater-Linux [20:36] oh [20:36] albinoclock: ./Mushkin-etc [20:36] ./Mushkin_Updater-Linux [20:36] albinoclock: ' file Mushkin_Updater-Linux ' say what it is ?

[21:37] smares: it's pretty uncommon for a version bump to occur in an existing release [21:37] ok, so probably not unless it's in backports [21:38] then I hope at least dovecot will be updated to 2.2.31, really looking forward to the dual rsa/ecdsa certificate support [21:40] smares: well, given that it's not even in artful yet, seems unlikely [21:40] smares: also, dovecot is under the same general rule as postfix [21:41] smares: postfix 3.2 isn't in debian stable yet [21:42] well, at least dovecot is really just a build update that shouldn't break anything if it sticks to semver [21:42] 2.2.27 to 2.2.31 [22:23] need help onboard bluetooth isn't working after inserted dongle any help would be nice Lubuntu 16.04 [22:24] Linux 4.4.0-79-generic #100-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 17 19:58:14 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [22:26] how can I specify the usb device to use for bluetooth dameon [22:31] also getting this now on boot Bluetooth: hci0 sending initial HCI reset command failed (-110) [22:39] anyone?
