[00:09] can somebody guide me on how to make a file that once i click it, it executes a few terminal commands? [00:10] i just want it to execute wakeonlan [mac] once i click it [00:13] nickell: Are you comfortable using the Terminal? [00:13] ca-on-adam: kind of [00:14] i'v been reading up on it a lot and they all tell me to create a text file and on the top put #!/bin/bash, then i can enter my commands below it [00:14] but when i click it, it just shows up in VIM [00:14] Ok, where is the file? [00:14] it's on my desktop [00:15] nickell: from the terminal, you can go to desktop with "cd Desktop" [00:15] Then type "chmod +x filename [00:15] ca-on-adam: that's exactly what i did [00:15] and then i also applied 777 permissions [00:15] but i don't think i'm creating the right type of file? [00:15] That should work? [00:16] nickell: for security, better to use 755 permissions. [00:16] oh ok [00:16] even for something like this? [00:16] http://i.imgur.com/ssDyxBu.png [00:16] so when i open the highlighted file (wol.sh), it opens up a terminal as shown [00:16] but nothing is executed? [00:17] then i tried creating a .desktop file which was supposed to execute it, but i'm not sure if that was correct [00:17] I'm not one of the pro's on here, so I have another idea but it might not be the way the pros would do it. [00:17] actually for security use 764, only u+x, not just +x [00:18] Thank you blackflow. [00:18] 744 rather. [00:20] nickell: so there is a .desktop file format that I have used in the past. I made it appear by creating a desktop shortcut for Firefox. [00:21] did it execute the commands? [00:21] I changed the line "Exec=exo-open --launch WebBrowser %u" to say "Exec=/home/user/Desktop/myfile" [00:21] i literally have one command i want it to run when i click it lol [00:21] And it did execute the command. [00:22] how did you create a firefox shortcut ca-on-adam ? [00:23] nickell: I went to the menu, right clicked on the Firefox icon, and chose "add to desktop" or something similar. [00:23] ca-on-adam: yea that's how i usually do it to but i don't have that option [00:23] hmm [00:24] http://i.imgur.com/yBzAGYG.png [00:24] highlight me [00:26] nickell: maybe that option will show up if you go into 'full' mode - I think by putting your mouse in the top left corner and then clicking something. [00:26] I use Xubuntu so I don't have that desktop at my disposal at the moment. [00:27] ericus: ?? [00:27] Bashing-om, thanks, testing something [00:29] ericus: :) . there is #test channel for that purpose . [00:29] sorry [00:30] nickell: any luck? [00:31] ca-on-adam: about to try it [00:31] http://i.imgur.com/XjHTmgD.png [00:31] that's what i made [00:31] the command links to the wol.sh file [00:31] so let's see :) [00:32] If that doesn't work, I can share a desktop icon that I just made. [00:32] awesome! [00:32] i'm about to log out because i'm going to test it [00:32] i'll brb [00:38] wb nickell [00:38] thanks ca-on-adam! [00:38] it worked! [00:38] excellent! [00:39] thanks for all of your help ^_^ [00:39] http://i.imgur.com/X7zGeNQ.png [00:39] that's what it created it [00:39] and as soon as i click it, it turns my computer on [00:40] !cookie | ca-on-adam [00:40] ca-on-adam: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:40] lol [00:40] Yay! I love cookies! [00:40] i have a different question, what if i needed sudo in my script? [00:40] for some other command say [00:41] so the top line reads "#!/bin/bash" [00:41] Oh, because then it would need a password and you probably want it to be automatic... [00:41] then my next line sudo something something [00:41] it'll require a password [00:41] looking at getting an external USB 3.0 RAID enclosure, it can handle four drive of up to 8 TB, so in RAID 0 that will be a 32 TB drive, can my Ubuntu installs handle a drive that big? [00:41] do i put the password on the next line? [00:41] oh i see [00:41] nickell, no it will still ask for a password. [00:42] so how can i automate the password? [00:42] Well I know a way, but there are security implications, so I can tell you but you best verify it with somebody more advanced than me. [00:44] The way I know is to make the script 'setuid root' which makes it gain root priviledges when it starts running. [00:47] DJRWolf: ext4 will support a filesystem that big, according to https://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4/ [00:48] is landscape free to use? [00:49] cd-on-adam ok, thank you [00:51] ahh free on premises [00:51] for up to 10 machines [00:51] does it have to be installed on the server? [00:55] hello all. I want to VNC from my local Mac to an Amazon EC2 Ubuntu image. The EC2 instance is behind a VPC. I understand I need to open inbound traffic on port 3389 for this to work. Does anyone know if I'd need to open that port both on the VPC as well as on the EC2 instance? or just from the VPC? [00:56] hey there guys, having a wierd issue. This package installs just fine on Trusty, but not on Zesty. Zesty says no candidate when we do install, but it's there when we do apt-cache showpkg... is there a common cause for this? [00:56] Here's all the relevant output: https://codeshare.io/G71gQL [00:59] Ok, so it works in Zesty if we do: sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8-dev:i386 why do we have to include the version number i wonder. Is it a bug in the way it was published to zesty? [00:59] Ubuntu landscape requires money?? [00:59] for the free up to 10 machines usage? [01:05] *free* for up to 10 physical machines and 10 more virtual machines for a total of 20 [01:06] can I skip the landscape client key registration in the ubuntu server installation for the free on premesis function? [01:06] *on premises [01:10] i just wonder why you would do that, dunno if that is even possible [01:10] pretty nice recent article https://askubuntu.com/questions/549809/how-do-i-install-landscape-for-personal-use [01:11] well, I gotta use the server somehow, without going to the other room to type on that server [01:13] heres my laptop [01:21] been at it for weeks trying to change the tray icons for apport, anyone know how or have any ideas? thanks.

I'm on Kubuntu 17.04, and a Radeon R9 390X and was wondering how I would install the mesa+radeonsi drivers? [01:26] I currently have to use radeon.dpm=0, which kills performance. [01:27] Also, in checking that my sound was broken, KDE is not responding. [01:27] At all. [01:28] Nevermind, just lag, also, sound works.

[01:36] I guess not :/ [01:40] Recently, every time i try to install a package from au.archive.ubuntu.com, it spends something like 5 minutes at 0% before suddenly shooting to 100%, as if it takes a long time to start first, has anyone else been experiencing this? [01:41] wow that booted fast [01:43] just remotely apt-get installed something on a computer in another network, and it installed instantly. seems to just be my router lol [01:44] well I mean my server, with ultra320 10k drives [01:44] I saw it role through those green confirmations so fast [01:54] q [02:00] rolandbeowulf: is IPv6 enabled! [02:37] Anyone know if theres a package that will allow customization of dwm (dynamic window manager) or do I need to build it from source? In fedora they have a dwm-user package that lets you build your own config.h in your home directory and it's recompiled when it's launched. === r0Oter is now known as r00ter === deathonater is now known as Smeef [02:52] I didn't understand what is the use of IP address 0.0.0.0 and how it is related to loopback IP address?

[02:57] pankaj: if you open a server -- say, SSH -- listening on 0.0.0.0:22 this means it will accept connections from any of the local network interfaces (on IPv4) [02:57] hddgh: That makes some sense [02:57] hggdh: : That makes some sense [02:58] pankaj: the same for :::22 [02:58] hggdh: What :::22? [02:58] pankaj: same thing as 0.0.0.0:22, for IPv6 [02:58] with ipv6 you use :::22 [02:59] hggdh: OK [03:42] to disable sounds for KDE applications. normally I do that with the systemsettings package. systemsettings is installed, yet I have no systemsettings binary? [03:42] Ubuntu 16.04 [03:44] okay, nvm the binary is systemsettings5. [03:45] okay, it's ont systemsettings5. That's something else. I did apt-get remove --purge and reinstalled the pkg, but it didn't help. [03:55] My systemsettings5 automatically had the configure > General on icon view.

[04:30] CoderEurope: You're going to have to provide some errors or package outputs or something. Your question at this point is just way vague. === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner === marlinc_ is now known as marlinc [05:53] What is the need of MAC address. If the lowest level LAN want to send or recieve packet then why cannot it just uses IP address as it is unique to network and it can also do the transfer and reception of packet? Why to require MAC? [06:02] MAC addresses are used before your machine even has an IP, for ARP [06:03] ^pankaj [06:03] and for all other non-ip traffic :) [06:04] plus IP addresses change constantly. If you open up wireshark and look at ARP traffic, your router will frequnelty ask "who has such and such IP?" and the machine with that IP, distinguished by its MAC will respond, "me me me!" [06:05] pankaj: mac addresses are used to identify physical hardware and are only visible to the thing at the other end of the wire. IP addressing is logical, routable addressing. [06:07] hello there! I am trying to add an authorized SSH key and for some reason I keep getting an error. trying to figure out why it is happening. the error is "load key /home/someuser/.ssh/authorized_keys: invalid format" [06:07] anyone around that can help? [06:08] sudormrf: that smells like you're trying to use the authorized_keys file as a private key. That doesn't work :) [06:08] sudormrf: what's the actual command you are using? [06:08] Seveas: ssh someuser@remotehost [06:09] tried adding -i [06:09] I am 100% certain this is user error :D [06:09] just 'ssh user@host' gives that error? Then there's an error in your .ssh/config file [06:10] Seveas: the SSH config allows for key auth [06:10] hello, why apt-add-repository gotta be dumb? [06:10] if I am following [06:11] sudormrf: can you pastebin the config please [06:11] Hello. Is there a way to check an (K)ubuntu system for integrity? I mean, not the HD itself, but if all system-files are okay? I am asking because, after a power-outage, my Desk-Kubuntu crashes horribly/freezes from time to time and fsck didn't show any problems. [06:12] stephanlap: apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop ? [06:12] Seveas: paste.ubuntu.com/25080302 [06:13] that's your sshd config. I mean ~/.ssh/config on the client side [06:13] !debsums | stephanlap [06:13] untoreh: I didn't think of reinsstalling the desktop but that's certainly a possibility I could try. Thanks. [06:13] !info debsums | stephanlap [06:13] stephanlap: debsums (source: debsums): tool for verification of installed package files against MD5 checksums. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2 (zesty), package size 41 kB, installed size 119 kB [06:13] Seveas: I don't have that file on the client side [06:14] Seveas: I was just reading about it in the mean time and also googling some articles. At last I got the perfect answer and I really do not have any doubt about its how, why and when. Thanks for your answer also. [06:14] sudormrf: then you're not just doing 'ssh user@host'. What is the complete, exact, command you are using? [06:14] EriC^^: I don't know about debsums, but I'll give it a try. Thanks. [06:14] np [06:14] EriC^^: ooh, TIL. Thanks! [06:14] Seveas: ssh user@IPADDRESSOFHOST -vvvv <- that's it. literall. [06:15] Seveas: :) [06:15] Seveas: again, I am certain this is user error [06:16] sudormrf: what's the content of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server? If it's not just lines that start with 'ssh-rsa', 'ssh-dss', or 'ssh-ecdsa' followed by base64 encoded things, then it's wrong. [06:17] Seveas: only one line, it starts with ssh-rsa [06:17] I'm trying to install python 3.6 and there is no apt-get repo for it - anyone know what the correct name is? [06:17] sudormrf: ok, that's safe to pastebin. Pastebin it please :) [06:18] jayjo: there is none. Upgrading python means upgrading ubuntu. [06:18] EriC^^: I just tried to run debsums and there's a curious thing. It checked a lot of files, the last entry being "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libanl.a", and the next line was just "Killed". So I assume, something went wrong... [06:19] stephanlap: that looks very wrong. Check dmesg output and do a memtest [06:21] Seveas: so I think I get what the problem is. the authorized_keys file has the public key of the remote host that is to be connecting in, correct? [06:22] Seveas: There's an entry about debsums in dmesg, looking like this: "[ 2138.783730] CPU: 0 11816 Comm: debsums Tainted P D OE 4.10.0-generic #30-Ubuntu" [06:23] And the system just crashed again...

It only shows 5.811 MB as my main memory, although I have 8 GB installed, and lots of errors. Could one of the memory-sticks be damaged? [06:26] 5376 errors so far. [06:26] that would explain the seemingly random crashes. [06:34] in ubuntu 17.04 my pc randomly freezed for like 2 months finally fixed and hundreds of comments from people with same issue...tor series 3 is having problems in zesty seems to work for a lot of other people..tor browswer is crashing again..seems to be working for a lot of other people..and now chromium is not working....should i just go back to ubuntu 16.04 can i take a poll?

Is there a way in Ubuntu? [07:51] donalsd: can you explain more [07:51] Ben64: I have to have it bidirectional, as in use the IP of someone else in another location. [08:05] I have an issue with my ubuntu 16.04 - if i leave the PC for a period of time (10-20) hours, upon my return it seems frozen but if i go to tty1 i see i/o errors, i ran fsck and no problems found on the drive, its an SSD drive. see image of errors here https://pasteboard.co/GAIoEQr.jpg [08:06] I'm trying to setup a crontab to temporarily allow ports through iptables, run the letencrypt unifi script then reload the default iptables rules on ubuntu 17.04 server [08:07] by default I mean the rules I have saved in /etc/iptables/rules.v4 [08:10] using the following https://pastebin.com/DDN9nBA9 but when I set them to just after the current time they didn't seem to fire off as expected [08:19] oh ok, dns crazy has to stop. [08:19] Someone's got a case of the DNS crazies [08:19] so I have crazy in my /etc/resolve.conf nameserver 127.0.0.53? where is that coming from [08:19] I can dig/nslookup hosts fine but ping says the names dont resolve [08:20] argh, what is resolve in nsswitch.conf? [08:21] systemd crazy === JanC_ is now known as JanC [08:22] every thing about systemd seems to be 2 steps forward 3 steps back [08:23] I hate systemd units, they seem so much more complicated than simple startup scripts. And binary logs strike me as bizarre [08:23] I dont mind the unit files, but where do you put them to override stuff, and when I change a one why do you remind me I have to run a command to reload them, YOU KNOW I CHANGED IT [08:24] lol [08:24] and its not a command like systemctl reload-unit service [08:24] It just annoys me having to designate a target for a script to run after rather than just before I effing log in, lol. [08:24] its some thing else [08:25] systemctl serivce status, how many times do I write that [08:25] I know for some things it is relevant, but some things could just run after the basic system is up and be fine [08:25] I have a shell script to swtich the args, called FK_SYSTEMD [08:25] heh [08:26] I have an issue with my ubuntu 16.04 - if i leave the PC for a period of time (10-20) hours, upon my return it seems frozen but if i go to tty1 i see i/o errors, i ran fsck and no problems found on the drive, its an SSD drive. see image of errors here https://pasteboard.co/GAIoEQr.jpg [08:26] what would you do if you find the file FSYSTEMD.DAT on an infected server... leave or delete? [08:26] today, my network didnt come up so all the names were chaced as non existant. If its not in the cache it makes sense to look in the dns [08:26] ARGSHG! [08:27] sruli, It looks bad man [08:27] Looks like a bad disk maybe [08:27] squig: i need to know if its a hardware issue or not [08:28] can you like at the SMART data? [08:28] its hard to tell you are runing encryptfs on there too? [08:28] What happens when ARP packet is unable to find MAC address of destination node (let destination node be in another network). Now, how does it knows that since their is no MAC address matching in same subnet for destination node so lets transfer it to Gateway MAC addres? [08:28] Abnormality: squig: how can i confirm if it is the disk? yes its running ecryptfs [08:28] sruli, can you get on the system at all? [08:28] well like I said it may be a good idea to look at the SMART data [08:29] sruli, smart +1 [08:30] Abnormality: squig: smart tests states Disk OK, the system works fine, this only happens if i leave the PC running idle for 10-20 hours, never happened while I was using it... only when i leave it for some time [08:32] sruli I don't know what you can do next, maybe find an in depth testing tool you can run? [08:33] such as? [08:33] I would remove encryptfs alos [08:33] its just adding mode complexity at the moment [08:33] I don't have any recommendations, but in your shoes I would google for something like that [08:33] the SSD manufacturores often have a tool [08:34] squig: ?? its my root file system.. cant remove, dont want to reinstall, an di need my drive encrypted [08:34] Is there any tool in ubuntu by help of which I can play and design with Circuits/ [08:34] sruli, good luck then :D [08:35] pankaj, for the networking stuff #networking is a good resource [08:35] squig: lets be clear the problem is not because of ecryptfs! [08:35] sruli, how do you know that? [08:35] I also know there are some old episodes of a podcast called security now that go into depth about routing protocols in a way accesible to non-experts [08:36] squig: in the past 7-8 years i have setup linux on 100's of machines, never woithout ecryptfs and never had a problem like this [08:36] I know that ARP is specifically covered in at least one episodes, you might have luck finding these episodes in google pankaj [08:36] for circuit design I don't know [08:36] sruli, sounds like your an expert then you don't need our help [08:37] Abnormality: I was talking about an software tool for beginner to understand and design circuits. May be a good book also if you know. [08:37] I don't pankaj, I am a novice at best in circuit design [08:37] but share if you find something cool =) [08:37] Well actually there is a pretty cool book called CODE that you could read [08:37] Abnormality: Some simple circuits like combining AND, OR gates. Is there any software for it? [08:38] minecraft lol [08:38] pankaj, what did you find in the software centre? [08:39] Abnormality: OK. I will checkout that book. Some months before I found an awesome book 'But how do it know?'

[09:38] if you need wget that will be needed to be done in the background [09:38] well I would recommend [09:40] what does Ubuntu do when a new user is created - aside from copying the contents of /etc/skel to the user's home ... ?

[10:10] <{LadyChristina}> everytime we load it onto our machines, when we get it loaded and boot it up again, we come to the login [10:10] <[PARTY]Varka> zetheroo, how is it insulting to be called mortal? aren't we all? [10:10] I'm not. [10:10] :D [10:10] <{LadyChristina}> and each time, even though we have carefully written down the username and passwords, it says "incorrect login" [10:10] <{LadyChristina}> what do? [10:11] {LadyChristina}: remember your password? :P [10:11] <{LadyChristina}> our race has many questions [10:11] {LadyChristina}: correct keymap? [10:11] ^ [10:11] <{LadyChristina}> yes, i write it down as i enter it [10:11] <[PARTY]Varka> {LadyChristina}, turn off/on capslock numlock? [10:11] <{LadyChristina}> keymap? [10:11] <{LadyChristina}> what is that? [10:11] <{LadyChristina}> keyboard map? [10:11] yes [10:11] :) [10:11] <{LadyChristina}> how do i know what the correct keyboard map is? [10:12] {LadyChristina} when you install Ubuntu are you selecting the correct keyboard layout? [10:12] <{LadyChristina}> i do the part where it says detect keyboard [10:12] <{LadyChristina}> possibly i am not [10:12] hmm ... [10:12] {LadyChristina}: is your keyboard QWERTZ or QWERTY ? [10:12] (or something else) [10:12] <{LadyChristina}> let me go look [10:12] there is a field where you can type characters to test if the keyboard you selected is indeed the correct one [10:12] That is ... during the install [10:13] <{LadyChristina}> it's qwerty [10:13] <{LadyChristina}> i have done that test each time zetheroo, it says my keyboard is "it" [10:13] Italian? [10:14] <{LadyChristina}> i don't know what "it" stands for [10:14] <{LadyChristina}> it depends on what it is [10:14] <[PARTY]Varka> zetheroo, it doesnt matter if its the correct layout it just matters if its the same one used setting the password [10:14] * {LadyChristina} quotes Bill clinton [10:15] <{LadyChristina}> suppose i enter keyboard manually? [10:15] <{LadyChristina}> and enter qwerty? [10:15] {LadyChristina}: I suggest reinstall with a very simple password - something like 'password' or so ... then login and check your keyboard in gedit or something [10:15] <{LadyChristina}> thanks zetheroo, i'm on it! [10:15] <{LadyChristina}> bbiab [10:16] or take a photo of your keyboard and share it here so we can see what it actually is .. (http://imgur.com/upload) [10:16] :) [10:18] Has anyone had experience getting FF plugins to work universally? I am trying to get KeeFox working. [10:19] zetheroo: fuck off [10:19] !ops [10:19] Help!

[10:22] zetheroo: /mode zetheroo +R to block unreg'd users from PM-ing you [10:22] ok [10:22] how does one know if they are unregistered? [10:22] zetheroo: knows all [10:33] <{LadyChristina}> if i choose install security updates automatically, will my server shut down unexpectedly some day while it does updates for an hour like my windows machines have always done? [10:34] No [10:34] <{LadyChristina}> wonderful [10:34] {LadyChristina}: still, don't do automatic updates [10:34] ^ I agree [10:34] rather install something like apticron to get an email when updates are available [10:35] {LadyChristina}: Ubuntu will notify you when there are available updates [10:39] im on 16.04 and want to goto the latest, should i just install Ubuntu with Gnome since Unity is going away [10:39] 16.04 unity* [10:40] to save myself headache in the future [10:41] you mean you want to install 17.04 with Gnome? [10:41] yeah, might as well do it now since unity is going away [10:41] that logic doesn't really follow [10:42] what do you mean [10:42] there's no point in putting gnome on now [10:42] ok [10:42] it doesn't save any headache, don't even know what ubuntu will look like without unity [10:42] well it's up to you .. if you want to start getting used to Gnome now already then why not https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME [10:44] Someone will continue to maintain/update Unity in some form. Just bc it will no longer be "official" does not mean that it will disappear. [10:45] ah ok, makes more sense now, the article i read made it sound like it was going to become dead [10:45] cant believe everything you read on the internet :) [10:46] jmaybe: that's the first time I hear that [10:46] what's the source for that? [10:48] Look at the history of a lot of current avail options. Many are due to similar circumstances. Someone else picks up the ball or wants to keep, or continue, where original left off. [10:49] If Canonical are dropping Unity development I'm a bit skeptical that it will be picked up to any very meaningful extent. But who knows ... maybe ... [10:50] I am already getting Gnome and KDE ready for our in-house Ubuntu users. [10:53] not even Mir is dead, with MATE considering wayland-izing it and using for compositor [11:23] so there is /usr/lib/firefox and /usr/lib/firefox-addons and /usr/lib/mozilla .... anyone know what's the difference and which (if any) of them works? [11:26] zetheroo, what you mean with 'works' ? are you looking for the ff binary ? [11:26] I am trying to find where to have a universally installed FF extension/addon [11:27] is there some 'native' and stable irc client, i'm having troubles with pidgin [11:28] zetheroo, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1130750 [11:29] blackadder1337, hexchat [11:31] this is what I am trying to do 'Global installation' http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_extensions#Global_installation [11:31] hello, I've been given access to a ubuntu server virtual machine [11:32] it have the repositories linking to a cdrom [11:32]
