[00:08] have you been able to connect to your server? [00:11] exp0sure: Me? [00:11] Oh, probably Jakethepython I guess [00:11] yeah [00:11] huh wyth? [00:11] exp0sure: If I edit out the fstab so that the lvm will not mount then I can connect, yes [00:12] exp0sure: After I try to mount it though it crashes [00:13] minimec [00:13] abiQuinn [00:14] -bash: cd: /home/jacob/openvpn-ca: Permission denied [00:15] Jakethepython: is openvpn-ca a directory or a script name? [00:16] directory [00:16] <__Yiota> you don't own it [00:16] <__Yiota> chown it [00:16] Jakethepython: then check the ownership and permissions [00:22] https://paste.ubuntu.com/25035718/ [00:24] Jakethepython: go up one level and see what the ownership and permissions are for the directory itself, not the files in it [00:25] Jakethepython: it looks like everything was created by root, but I think you are trying to get into the directory as a user [00:25] i thought if i sudo i could get into a root directory [00:26] I don't think sudo cd is generally a thing you go, you're better off changing the permissions [00:26] cd /home/jacob, then do ls -lha and see what the permissions are on the openvpn-ca folder [00:28] Jakethepython: why are you putting a folder and links that are owned by root in a user home? [00:29] i didn't mean to make it a root folder [00:29] th0r: I'm imagining he installed it as root when he didn't need to [00:29] should i just delte the directory and make a new one? [00:29] Jakethepython: even if you change the ownership of the links and the folder, I don't think you will be able todo anything with it. The things the links point to are still owned by root [00:31] is it good to disable guest account? [00:31] should i just make a new directory and do nothign w/ that for now? [00:31] is it good to disable guest account? [00:32] Jakethepython: can't say...still don't know what you are trying to do [00:32] Jakethepython: what do you want to accomplish? [00:32] I am trying to set up a vpn [00:32] https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-16-04#step-3-configure-the-ca-variables [00:33] Jakethepython: you don't need all that stuff in the folder. I just invoke the openvpn command in a small script. I keep the script in ~/bin so I can edit it, and link it to /usr/local/bin so it is in the path [00:34] Jakethepython: do you have a .ovpn file from the vpn provider? or are you trying to run your own vpn? [00:34] run my own VPN [00:35] this is all on a server [00:35] that i need vpn access to for a subversion thing [00:36] Never set up my own vpn service, so can't help with that. But I am fairly certain the folder you have isn;t the way to do it. [00:36] it didn't look right but i was following directions..or trying to.. [00:37] Jakethepython: I would not want to say 'I don't know how to set one up, but that way is wrong', so I won't :) [00:38] hahahaha [00:38] ok [00:40] is it good to disable guest account [00:55] how to press enter automatically after the dialog box appears === KindTwo is now known as KindOne === Seihava_ is now known as Seihava [01:10] how do I disable guest account [01:13] Halleluia, 16.04?

[02:59] does ubuntu have paging file? [02:59] Hulio: No, Linux uses swap partitions, however, you can create a swap file if you want. [02:59] this is pre-release Intel hardware. It has a ton of nvme drives and SSD to sort out. seems that the BIOS prefers the SATA devices to boot. [02:59] It is not advised. [03:00] Bashing-om: ^^ [03:00] i have no idea [03:00] but i got this issue: GPU 0, GpuMiner cu_kd failed 8 (0), invalid device function [03:00] GPU 0, Calc DAG failed!

AHCI enabled in the firmware ? [03:02] AMD and NVIDIA?> [03:02] Bashing-om: I have things booting now using SSD [03:02] Bashing-om: so I think I am almost there . [03:03] Bashing-om: default boot uses the new kernel options of "nomodeset modprobe.blacklist=ast" [03:03] and seems to progress things [03:04] Hulio: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.5040 [03:05] CHVNX, i did look at that site so many time , and dont know what to do [03:05] i am using ubuntu 16.04 [03:05] Hello, I managed to mess up cairo while installing an R package [03:06] and I cant seem to find out how to reinstall cairo properly [03:06] With your package manager, obviously [03:06] I get for example /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: cairo_ft_font_options_substitute [03:06] when trying to launch firefox [03:06] package manager with --reinstall on all cairo packages did not seem to change it [03:08] How did you install the R packages? [03:08] Is there a way to have a a yes flag on a command, except for when the first question is abort? lol [03:08] Well initially I was just using install.packages(), but there were getting to be c++ compile errors with it [03:09] RBoreal_Frippery: Why didn't you use Ubuntu's package manager? [03:09] CHVNX, do you mind help me? [03:09] i really dont know what to do [03:09] GPU 0, GpuMiner cu_kd failed 8 (0), invalid device function [03:10] Then my fault, I used apt-file to find where cairo was installed, I think /usr/include/cairo, and removed the package, and then thr directory was not removed with it, so I removed the directory manually and reinstalled the package. The directory came back, but not it does not work. [03:10] I didnt use package manager because it was a from-source version of R [03:10] Jesus Christ, no wonder it doesn't work. You deleted the package and its files. [03:10] You're new to Linux, aren't you?.. haha [03:10] CHVNX, me? [03:10] No, Hulio. [03:11] if there any way to recompile the cairo? [03:11] Hulio: Your issue is a drivers problem, and a kernel issue. You should consider asking people from the bitcoin community who have similar hardware. [03:11] or have the package manager reinstall the dependencies? [03:11] oh [03:12] RBoreal_Frippery: reinstall all cairo packages and their dependancies. Do the following: [03:12] I want to run e2fsck -fy, but the first thing that comes up asks to abort. Does anyone know how to circumvent this? [03:13] RBoreal_Frippery: sudo apt-cache depends [03:13] RBoreal_Frippery: Using the results of that command, we get the following one, which re-installs and its dependencies: $ sudo apt-cache depends | grep '[ |]Depends: [^<]' | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ' | xargs sudo apt-get --reinstall install -y [03:14] tried it with firefox and libcairo2-dev , no luch yet [03:14] CHVNX, maybe i should try it with windows 10 [03:14] (also reinstalled those two package themselves) [03:15] CHVNX, can you please tell me how i can create .iso to usb so i can boot ? [03:15] Hulio: Did you read the link I gave you? It was dealing with a similar issue. It was AMD and NVIDIA driver issue. [03:15] is there something for ubuntu to do that? [03:15] CHVNX, i read, but i dont understand [03:15] as i already have driver installed [03:15] also how can i tell what driver it is currenly used? [03:16] Hulio: Download iso. Use DD to create a bootable USB. dd bs=4M if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx [03:16] i think it is using nvidia driver x64 375.66 version [03:16] Hulio: sdx being the specific name of the USB. NOT one of iuts partitions, but the drive itself. [03:16] "bs=4M" is optional. Its just to make it faster [03:17] CHVNX, how can i find sdx <--- list drive ? [03:17] is the command for it? [03:17] there* [03:17] anyone has implemented common history on all bash terminals ? [03:17] i love ubuntu so much now i have to put windows 10 because of that error [03:17] Hulio: sudo fdisk -l [03:18] CHVNX, /dev/sdg1 * 2048 60530687 60528640 28.9G c W95 FAT32 (LBA) [03:19] so it is sdg1 ? [03:19] i have a 32GB USB [03:19] pitiye: Would you like to preserve bash history in multiple terminal windows, or would you like to share bash history across accounts? [03:19] Basically, are you trying to sync history across terminals, or share history among userS? [03:19] How do I run e2fsck without having to hold down the enter key until the eventual heat death of the universe? [03:20] CHVNX, i wish you can connect to my ubuntu(remote) to help me [03:20] solve the mining issue [03:20] Hulio: If that looks like the proper drive, then /dev/sdg is the proper location. Correct. NOT /dev/sdg1 [03:21] Hulio: That is unsafe. I refuse to connect to youre system remotely. Sorry. I do not advise you ask anyone for that sort of assistance. [03:21] your* [03:21] assistence* [03:21] but i'm not afraid [03:21] :) [03:21] Ugh, it's late. [03:21] oh okay [03:21] Hulio: You should be, because I am. [03:21] ok [03:22] CHVNX: the former - i want to preserve bash history in multiple terminals [03:23] CHVNX, dd: failed to open '/dev/sdg': Permission denied [03:23] ??? [03:23] with a sudo ? [03:23] Hulio: use sudo or perform operation as root user. [03:23] it works now [03:23] pitiye: Which version of bash? In your terminal type: bash --version [03:24] Please paste the first line of output [03:24] CHVNX: GNU bash, version 4.4.7(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) [03:24] i love ubuntu man [03:24] :( too bad [03:24] i will have to put win 10 now [03:24] pitiye: In your .bashrc file, add the following two lines: [03:24] pitiye: shopt -s histappend [03:25] pitiye: PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a;history -c;history -r;$PROMPT_COMMAND" [03:25] This is so stupid. Why would the phrasing be "Abort?" instead of "Are you sure you want to continue?" It makes -y completely useless [03:25] pitiye: If the histappend shell option is enabled (see the description of shopt under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below), the lines are appended to the history file, otherwise the history file is over-written. [03:25] from man bash [03:25] CHVNX: i have shopt -s histappend line [03:26] CHVNX: i have this too - export PROMPT_COMMAND="${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND$'\n'}history -a; history -c; history -r" [03:27] wyth: [03:29] wyth: Try as:' sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sdXY '. where XY is the drive/partition - as in sde4. [03:29] pitiye: https://pastebin.com/raw/DcKhma6i [03:29] Give that a try. [03:30] hello, cp stopped copying a file I told it to copy [03:30] I tried ^C but it doesn't stop [03:30] and it doesn't come up in ps aux | grep cp [03:30] Open another terminal and type killall cp [03:30] nothing [03:30] Bashing-om: Unfortunately it won't let it run with -p. "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY." [03:30] CHVNX: ty - but the annoying thing is - i have to hit history command twice to get the refreshed history on some terminals :/ [03:31] pitiye: To be honest with you, I hate bash. I prefer zsh, personally. [03:31] wyth: ' sudo e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda1 ' ? [03:32] CHVNX: should i choose zsh ? [03:32] Bashing-om: -y doesn't work because the first question is "Abort?" [03:32] pitiye: You should do whatever you want. I don't like to think for other people. [03:33] wyth: Sorry I have no other idea . [03:33] Bashing-om: Well thanks for at least trying. You're a champ around here. [03:34] wyth: Well, blushfully - why do you need/want to run the file system check with auto yes ? [03:35] I just find it hard to believe that such a silly oversight like that exists. In that kind of situation I guess you have to just tape your enter key down when you want it to fix every single block [03:36] Bashing-om: Somehow the filesystem size ended up being larger than the partition size. I can't use resize2fs until e2fsck has run. So every block over is a new prompt [03:37] wyth: Ouch . I no of no other way than a lot of y's . The system wants you aware of what it is doing :) [03:38] resize2fs: Can't read a block bitmap while trying to resize. Please run 'e2fsck -fy /dev/media/volume' to fix the filesystem. But of course if you try that it immediately aborts. [03:38] Bashing-om: Again, thanks anyways [03:39] hey guys, still trying to get firefox working again [03:39] I now have [03:39] (firefox:6278): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed [03:39] firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_ft_font_options_substitute [03:40] does anyone have a remote idea of what exactly I have to reinstall here? [03:40] wyth: Maybe some inspiration : fsck http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/08/fsck-command-examples/ . [03:43] Bashing-om: Hm.. not seeing anything here for this particular scenario [03:48] hey guys, I need a UDEV expert [03:51] Ask ##linux [03:51] thanks for the recommend CHVNX [04:04] So, does anybody have a simple solution for teamviewer + Ubuntu 17.04 [04:04] (Which allows for remote access to the PC running it without a user present) [04:05] jliles, are you using wayland? [04:12] which is the package for generic mail so i can test if sendmail is working? echo foo | mail -s Test john@example.com === coffeeguy is now known as zenguy [04:17] sorin-mihai: No, I'm using ubuntu gnome 17.04 [04:18] sorin-mihai: Teamviewer works fine until after the PC reboots. Then it can't connect to the network, it has some kind of issue with libicu [04:19] If you uninstall it and reinstall it on every boot, it works okay. [04:19] jliles, the only problem i had with it was while i tried to use wayland, can't really say much about that, i just switched to xorg [04:20] jliles, gnome in most distros nowadays can use both wayland and xorg. i'm not sure which one is the default in 17.04 [04:20] xorg [04:20] Wayland isn't even installed by default in 17.04 to my knowledge [04:22] can you show me the exact error you have in the logs? not sure i can help, but i might find some more info [04:23] Eh, give me a moment, I have to download it again, I just reinstalled the OS [04:45] good morning to all [04:49] hi [04:49] is this the right place to ask ubuntu-server related questions? [04:49] or is there a better place? [04:50] I believe it is Zedua, ask away. [04:50] thank you [04:51] so, I rented a virtual server where I have root access to [04:52] the problem is, that sometimes(!) I cannot reach my server via my web-browser [04:52] I have apache installed [04:52] the connection them simply gets a timeout [04:52] a while later, all of a sudden, it works again [04:52] here are some facts: [04:53] 1) when I cannot connect to the server via my web-browser, it does NOT matter which webbrowser I use! It effects ALL browsers [04:53] 2) when I use a screenshot-service like "netrenderer" to capture a screenshot, it always works!!!! (even when I personally cannot connect to the server) [04:53] Ask in #networking [04:54] CHVNX, okay, I will [04:54] Sounds like your own network [04:54] since I started asking here, would you mind if I continued? [04:54] Carry on. [04:54] thank you [04:54] 3) When I cannot connect to my server, I can still connect to ALL other websites [04:54] Zedua: sounds like someone between you and the server is having routing issues. Monitor the server using a 3rd party, and see what traceroute/tracepath have to say when the fault occurs [04:55] 4) I effects both, connecting to the IP and the Domain name [04:55] ^ so it cannot be the DNS [04:55] What Triffid said sounds sound. [04:55] lol [04:55] Zedua: you could set up a cron job to email you traceroute/tracepath from the server back towards your ISP if you want a way to monitor the reverse path when SSH can't connect [04:55] Probably a link in the chain [04:55] Triffid_Hunter, ssh can always connect [04:56] it's only the connection to apache on port 80 [04:56] Zedua: then the networking is fine, your apache is broken [04:56] Triffid_Hunter, but why does it work for everyone else? [04:56] for my friends, people on irc, screenshot services, etc? [04:56] apache delivers to all of them [04:56] just not to me [04:56] and only sometimes [04:57] Zedua: perhaps your browser holds persistent connections and they somehow get into a weird state? [04:57] that's the weirdest error I ever had [04:57] lsof -i or netstat can show open connections if you want to check for that [04:57] Triffid_Hunter, I am just having this problem in Chrome [04:57] so I started firefox (the first time today) [04:57] and I have the same problem in firefox [04:57] hi [04:57] Zedua: tried curl and wget as well? [04:58] Triffid_Hunter, I try it now [04:58] hold on [04:58] how to get git 2.10.0 in ubuntu 16.04 [04:58] because if curl/wget work fine, you can point your finger squarely at your browsers. I've frequently had troubles with both firefox and chrome when everything else worked fine [04:58] wget also cannot get it [04:59] it stops at "Connecting to" [04:59] Zedua: does the request arrive at the server? what stage does it stall in? SYN? headers? receiving body? [04:59] Triffid_Hunter, can I tell you the output together with the real IP in a private message? [04:59] Zedua: ok so it's dropping your outgoing SYN apparently, or possibly dropping the returning SYN/ACK.. check the server's firewall for incoming/outgoing messages [05:00] Zedua: best to keep it public so everyone can help when I disappear soon, obscure the IP if you think it's sensitive [05:00] brb [05:01] https://dpaste.de/JK5O/raw [05:01] if you need the real IP, I can give it to you [05:04] and I just tried ssh => works [05:04] ftp => also works [05:04] the only problem seems to be port 80 [05:04] but as I said, everyone else can reach it [05:04] why does my own server hate me? [05:06] Zedua: nmap yourself, to check open/blocked ports [05:06] Zedua: nmap -PN -sV your-ip-here [05:06] lotuspsychje, can I do this from my own computer? [05:06] or from the server to my pc? [05:08] Zedua: you can scan both ways, but i would also try external ip [05:08] okay [05:08] nmap is just installing [05:08] thank you lotuspsychje [05:09] lotuspsychje, I remember using nmap a long time ago, but as far as I can remember it, nmap was pretty fast [05:10] is it normal that nothing happens for about a minute? [05:11] lotuspsychje, nmap works with 127.0.0.1 [05:11] but not with my public ip [05:11] Zedua: what do you mean 'works'? [05:11] https://dpaste.de/m8o2/raw [05:12] I mean that I get an output [05:12] Are you trying to scan your public IP from the same IP? [05:12] And view your server from same IP, internally? [05:12] That is your problem [05:12] hostfile [05:12] Add your domain to your hostfile [05:13] CHVNX, which domain shall I add to the hostfile? [05:13] I am scanning my own computer [05:13] my personal computer [05:14] now the other nmap with the public IP finished! [05:14] https://dpaste.de/QGp6/raw [05:15] Zedua: filtered= firewalled are router block [05:16] Zedua: ports are not open [05:17] what ports do I need open? [05:17] I am scanning my PC [05:17] why would my PC need an open port? [05:17] please note: I can open every other website [05:22] brb [05:23] re [05:30] re [05:30] daMaestro [05:31] the problem just became bigger (than what I explained you in #apache) [05:31] reconnecting does not give me a new IP address [05:31] Zedua, so you've already explained what you have in #httpd. do the same here. [05:31] so I cannot login to my server [05:31] which means this is a dead end [05:34] what did you do before you could not login to your server? [05:36] daMaestro, I worked normally? [05:36] and sometimes I had connection problems to the server [05:37] I would like to restart my router a couple more times, hoping to get a new ip [05:37] brb [05:38] daMaestro, got a new IP!! [05:38] I am logged in via SSH [05:38] what now? [05:39] hey guys Kubuntu 17.04 here, I seem to have no notification sounds and if I try to move notifications from 0% volume it automatically goes back to muted [05:40] Zedua, what protections do you have on the node? [05:41] daMaestro, I forgot what I did back then... I followed some tutorial and entered some command [05:42] daMaestro, I only know, that I lock myself out after the 2nd attempt [05:43] daMaestro, found it in "history" [05:43] fail2ban [05:45] is it possible that fail2ban causes that? [05:45] that's its job [05:46] I would check the config and set itnto something a little less extreme [05:47] or... bring you identity with you via ssh-agent or krb tickets [05:48] Zedua, sounds like you are either using a shared or commonly known username or you need to lock down via a different mech [05:50] Zedua, fail2ban is a decent. also look at denyhosts. however, i've locked myself out also (on a timer) [05:50] I am going to post my fain2ban config [05:50] use a pastebin [05:51] i don't see one in the /topic so use fpaste.org or something else without ads [05:51] sigh... there it is, paste.ununtu.com [05:51] https://dpaste.de/qjNQ/raw [05:51] lol, well that was proper. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [05:51] dpaste.de is nice because you can delete your own paste [05:52] Zedua, is this default? [05:53] does paste.ubuntu.com still require you to log in to get the raw version of a paste? [05:53] I know that I edited the bantime and the attempts [05:53]
