[00:02] thedonny: you normally would not have any 777 files, unless intentionally. [00:03] those zone files should not be 777 either [00:03] tomreyn, i have them too [00:03] a lot [00:04] bad63r: which release are you on, can you paste a list? [00:04] ubuntu 16.04. updated just hour ago [00:05] plenty of "hash sum mismatch" from ubuntu official repos right now [00:06] Last modification reported: Thu, 27 Jul 2017 17:18:57 +0000 [00:06] Release file created at: Thu, 27 Jul 2017 20:54:00 +0000 [00:06] tomreyn, kinda not sure if I can. first i have to skim it a little bit better. i don't feel comfortable sharing data from root just like that [00:07] bad63r: ok [00:07] tomreyn, try command 'sudo find -perm 777 | less' and see it yourself sir [00:07] bad63r: none here [00:08] tomreyn, try command 'sudo find / -perm 777 | less' and see it yourself sir [00:08] i forgot directory which to search x_ [00:08] thats what i did, also 16.04 [00:08] Apachez: yes there seem to be some issues with the mirrors currently, no details known [00:08] tomreyn, the thing is, I am almost positive I never modified the permissions of those files [00:09] Apachez: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [00:10] thedonny: maybe they're from 3rd party packages? [00:12] Apachez, what mirror exactly? [00:12] i wa sjust about to ask :) [00:13] quit [00:13] E: Failed to fetch http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/zesty-backports/universe/dep11/Components-amd64.yml.xz Hash Sum mismatch [00:13] tomreyn, I don't have many. Just some things like fail2ban, LAMP (for laravel based website) [00:13] 4 noticies of hash sum mismatch [00:14] tomreyn, also just did a lynis system audit and had no warnings, just some suggestions [00:15] Apachez: /join #canonical-sysadmin - i pointed it out to t0mb0 there [00:15] s/he's looking into it now [00:15] tnx [00:16] tomreyn, what is the command you used to find the 777 permissions? [00:17] thedonny: sudo find / -type f -perm 777 [00:18] tomreyn: hmm ok so I guess it was the same command. Interesting that there are these differences, a little worried about security now.. [00:19] thing is I think tools like lynis are supposed to pick up incorrect/dangerous file permissions and I had no warnings come up [00:21] <__Yiota> what permission mode code do I use for executable? [00:22] thedonny: lynis (just like any automatic auditing utility testing against generic policies) isn't perfect, and 777 is not necessarily wrong. it probably does check for suid / sguid binaries. [00:23] __Yiota: +x [00:23] <__Yiota> right but is there a code for it? [00:23] <__Yiota> 0644 / 0700 et [00:23] <__Yiota> etc* [00:24] __Yiota: the execute bit is 1 [00:24] man 1 chmod [00:25] <__Yiota> sweet tx [00:25] tomreyn: Yeah, I understand it wouldn't be a blanket solution, I just thought that if the permissions of those system files were dangerously derranged surely it would have been picked up [00:26] tomreyn: not too sure where to go from here to determine if this is a problem or not [00:30] thedonny: you could post the files, we could comment, or you find a solution for yourself. ;) [00:32] well I mean, i ran sudo find / -type f -perm 777 and had no results [00:32] tomreyn the *potential* problem is without -type f [00:33] tomreyn: e.g. sudo find / -perm 777 [00:35] thedonny: 777 on other file objects is a completely different matter. can be fine (or not, depends) [00:36] thedonny, try again, without sudo. [00:36] that gives the real access to your account [00:37] symlinks are always 777 [00:38] I have some simple bash scripts that inotify watch folders and rsync on changes. I'm running them in a ssh terminal to centos, I would like to run them silently and be able to logoff, is a good solution for this nohup, like nohup sh custom-script.sh & [00:39] oops centos this is ubuntu, should be applicable though [00:39] oerheks, tomreyn: still getting a pretty big list without sudo, but the majority seem to be /lib/system, /sys/, /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ etc [00:39] or is screen a better solution... [00:40] plenty of /usr/ too [00:40] bobbydoogle: you could use incron [00:43] bobbydoogle: personally i'd prefer incron / cron / atd over screen / tmux over nohup, but as long as you'll redirect both stdout + stderr either should work. [00:44] redirect ... to a file, so you can review it later [00:50] dnsmasq is configured as my resolver (the only thing in /etc/resolv.conf is "nameserver 127.0.0.1" which dnsmasq is listening on). when i curl a random domain (e.g. jadsjkdskjdskjdsa.com), as i follow the dnsmasq logs, i dont see the attempt being made [00:51] in this case, is curl simply not respecting /etc/resolv.conf [00:51] ? [00:53] snkcld: most utulities will use the glibc resolver, or systemd-resolved.service , i think [00:53] man systemd-resolved.service [00:54] im stracing it, and i see that curl is doing a "sendmsg" with org.freedesktop.resolve1.Manager [00:54] tomreyn: ah. is systemd-resolved what responds to org.freedesktop.resolve1.Manager ? [00:55] snkcld: i don't know :) [00:55] tomreyn: looks like it is [00:55] tomreyn: is it possible for me to just have everything do DNS via 127.0.0.1:53 ? lol [00:55] or is that asking too much? [00:56] snkcld: if you'll have *everything* do DNS via 127.0.0.1:53 then you won't be able to resolve anything. [00:57] tomreyn: my dnsmasq is configured to use 8.8.8.8 as an upstream [00:59] i guess i can configured the "hosts" section of nsswitch.conf [00:59] snkcld: this sounds like it could work, but i'm not into this, so can't help, sorry. [01:00] tomreyn: thanks [01:02] http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/linag2/book/ch06.html explains how the loose ends worked together in a pre-systemd world [01:03] tomreyn: fwiw: setting "hosts: dns" now seems to make curl use my local dns resolver via 127.0.0.1 [01:03] tomreyn: ahhh that is perfect! thanks [01:04] o i think ralink driver sucks on 16.04 may have answered my own question haha [01:04] welcome [01:12] actually anyone got a good link for the ralink driver for ubuntu? all the ones im seeing look dodgfy [01:12] dodgy [01:13] af [01:14] Hey, what application launcher do people recommend?

I used "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^" to install LAMP server on Ubuntu. HOwever it isntalled PHP 7. How do I get it to isntall PHP 5? [01:54] Zythyr: php5 is not provied by Ubuntu for a few releases [01:54] Andy80: What shows ' which tensorflow ; dpkg -L tensorflow ' ? [01:55] hggdh According to this it shows PHP 5 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Checking_PHP_5_installation [01:55] Zythyr: your ubuntu release probably doesn't offer more than a single php version. there are some PPAs, notably Ondřej Surý's, which provide co-installable PHP versions [01:55] Zythyr: which ubuntu release do you have there? [01:56] tomreyn Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [01:57] Zythyr: you could install ubuntu 14.04 lts instead, which comes with php 5, or you could use this PPA on 16.04 https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/ [01:58] Zythyr: or you could do the right thing and ditch and pre php7 code. [01:58] tomreyn Thanks. This might be a noobish quesiton but how do I first uninstall php7? [02:00] Zythyr: sudo apt-get purge php7 [02:00] tomreyn Cool thank you! I'll try the PPA also [02:00] Zythyr: rather: sudo apt-get purge 'php7.*' [02:01] okay [02:02] also 'sudo apt-get purge libapache2-mod-php7.0' if you had that installed [02:19] tomreyn thank u very much.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:07] gusgg: you need libraw1394-dev .. ubuntu puts development files like .pc into separate packages [04:07] oerheks: thanks for the pointer. Of course, the .pc files come when I install the -dev version of dependencies. [04:08] glitsj16: :D Thanks for the answer [04:08] :) you found out on your own, np [04:21] So I installed the i3 variant i3-gaps by building it from source. I'd like to remove it, however there is no make uninstall target. Short of some harry find command to hunt down all the bits and bobs, is there any way to excise i3-gaps from my system? [04:25] zanshin: perhaps the #i3 guys might know that? [04:28] lotuspsychje: Mostly crickets in #i3 tonight. I'll have to wait until tomorrow when, hopefully, it'll be more active [04:30] hi al [04:30] zanshin: just an idea, maybe installing i3-gaps the ubuntu repo way, might give you some right errors to solve? [04:31] i am accessing my remote machine through ssh i dont internet connection to that machine . how i can do that. i dont to make my interface down [04:31] **want === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [04:35] lotuspsychje: You mean `sudo apt-get install i3-gaps` basically, and see what falls off the wagon? [04:36] c06: perhaps the #openssh channel can help on this matter? [04:36] zanshin: yeah that was the idea, to see what apt would find as wrong [04:38] zanshin: try lotuspsychje's idea OR you could build it again using checkinstall this time, which creates a proper .deb to install/purge via dpkg/apt --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [04:39] lotuspsychje: ty for suggestion i commented my nameserver in resolv.conf [04:39] lotuspsychje: It isn't that i3-gaps is borked, I just would rather have vanillia i3. But it's worth a shot. [04:40] lotuspsychje: E: Unable to locate package i3-gapsA [04:44] glitsj16: I'll try that. Thanks [04:51] zanshin: my guess is that when you install the created .deb via sudo dpkg -i, it will complain about existing files, which gets you what you're after.. depending on the number of files to purge you might find it easier to 'sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i foo.deb' and 'sudo apt purge foo' (if that makes sense) [04:54] glitsj16: Ok. I'm still trying to get checkinstall to build the .deb. Past my bedtime and my thought processes are no longer sharp. [04:55] zanshin: sleep on it, take a fresh look at it later, and #i3 might have less crickets by then also [04:57] zanshin: if you didn't change the .configure --prefix things should be relatively easy to track down under /usr/local [04:59] The prefix was /usr, so everything appears to be in /usr/bin with some documentation in /usr/share. It's tempting to just remove those files manually, but I'll give checkinstall a try first.

[05:17] rajivmars: i think first u have to install windows and then u have to install ubuntu [05:19] c06: i heard that in uefi that does not matters, although i don't clearly know about it that's why i asked. [05:19] c06, is it possible to use matlab using wine. [05:19] rajivmars: i havent tried i went with windows then ubuntu better make a try [05:19] rajivmars: no idea about matlab [05:20] c06: while it *works* under wine, it runs like shit [05:21] Maybe it's better nowadays [05:21] matlab is heavy application from my view [05:21] But a year ago it was not good [05:21] trevorj: ohh [05:21] c06: I run it under kvm now [05:21] c06: It's the only reason I have the VM. [05:22] trevorj: nice better rajivmars u create a windows VM.. :-D [05:23] trevorj: please see my first question, and tell me if u have any experience about it. [05:24] rajivmars: The first question I see from you is about uefi [05:24] yeah [05:24] rajivmars: Is that related to your matlab question? [05:24] yes [05:24] Care to explain a little deeper? [05:25] Sorry, just want to make sure I understand the question properly :) [05:26] i needed to run matlab, but if its not possible to install windows alongside an already installed ubuntu then i am going to use VM. [05:27] You can do either just fine [05:27] For the latter: Prep your hard disk using gparted from a livecd beforehand [05:27] Just make some free space, and backup your uefi/mbr, because windows *will* overwrite it [05:28] er, former* [05:28] trevorj: i think i should have go with VM. [05:28] For the latter (vm, which I recommend), it's super easy and avoids the context switch [05:28] thats looks a better option to me [05:28] I used some ksm win2k12 iso I have for work [05:29] vbox is also a solid bet [05:29] And it's definitely easier to configure [05:29] (for windows in particular) [05:29] yeah that's why i go with it.

Is there anything I can do, or just wait it out? FYI, I remember that I set swappiness to 1 some months ago. [10:21] look at your logs, look at top, find out what's actually causing it [10:21] the thing is, I can't do anything on the pc [10:21] it's just SO slow [10:22] I clicked on shell icon to open shell 15 minutes ago, still not open [10:22] clock is also 30 minutes behind :) [10:22] yasonTR, try changing to a tty? [10:23] i do that when gnome wont respond and i need to see what's happening [10:23] you mean ctrl-shift-fx? [10:23] yeah [10:23] if you can [10:23] ok will do [10:23] what should I execute after i login? [10:23] look at top and see what's eating up your resources [10:23] ok [10:23] kill any obvious processes doing it [10:24] i tried it now, tty is not opening ... i'll wait, hopefully it comes [10:24] the only thing that is responsive is the mouse, but as said, 10 seconds later and very stuttering [10:24] haha [10:24] yeah a hard reset might be required [10:25] and check logs afterwards [10:25] was setting swappines to 1 a bad idea? [10:25] I did that a few months ago, thought it was a good idea [10:25] (maybe it's not related) [10:26] 1 isnt great unless your machine is has like 512mb of ram [10:26] isn't it the other way around? [10:26] i mean, afaik, swappiness to 1 forces the OS to use first ram, and swap as less as possible [10:27] so swappiness is great if you have lots of ram? [10:27] don't think swapiness has much to do with your issue, there's some other app(s) eating up cpu resources [10:27] ok [10:28] anyway, i'll give it some time, hopefully the tty will come up [10:28] but i suspect that keys are just timing out, or something [10:28] yeah i dont think swappiness is the factor [10:28] i have a couple crapppy machines so one of them does this a few times a week [10:28] if i dont get to the tty fast enuogh it never recovers without a reboot [10:29] oh no [10:29] in my case i know what causes it and just dont do anthing about it [10:29] that's odd [10:29] but yeah some process gone rogue [10:29] i probably wouldnt wait to reboot. it's unlikely to recover at this point [10:29] damn that sucks [10:30] i had some unsaved development notes [10:30] which i cannot remember but were important :) [10:30] gah [10:31] autosave? my left hand has been on 'ctrl-s every 5 seconds' autopilot since, oh, 2010 or something [10:31] yeah i know [10:32] I have a few mobile devices connected to hotspot from my machine. I want to access local development server which I have running on local.example.com on my machine. The domain is a hosts entry. [10:32] wow, it just switched to another workspace! [10:32] i did that maybe 20 minutes ago [10:33] it's still kicking [10:33] I set up squid on the machine because I cannot change the hosts entry for the mobile to point to my machine. However, I cannot resolve the host over squid [10:33] I have set up `acl all src all` and `http_access allow all` [10:34] yasonTR: i'd just reboot in that situation unless there's good reasons not to? [10:34] tomreyn: i would love to have my notes saved [10:35] notes in a text editor on the gui? take a photo if they're all on screen [10:35] good idea :) but it's behind other windows [10:35] in text editor yeah (scite) [10:36] do you have an ssh server running and another system available log login to it? [10:36] the thing is, i wasn't doing any special, just a lot at once (compiling, tomcat, ...) [10:36] that's a good idea, i'll try that [10:36] don't ctrl-c if it takes forever to login [10:36] just wait [10:37] if even a tty doesnt work... haha [10:37] i do attempt from ssh myself though in these times [10:39] doh, nope, sshd is not running it seems [10:39] i can ping, but no ssh [10:39] I'd like to create an archive (such as a zip file) of my entire home directory, for backup purposes. What's the best way to do that? [10:40] yasonTR: you could gamble and try magic sysrq k, but i think that's disabled by default for security reasons. [10:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR [10:41] ok [10:41] sad day for me! [10:42] na sysrq always should work [10:42] keep pressing ctrl alt print while slowly typing letters R E I S U B [10:43] that'll loose data [10:43] yeah, i do not want to loose data [10:43] Richard_Cavell, /home , right click in the file, compress to target path is one method [10:43] wouldnt it sync before reboot? [10:43] i have unsaved text editor open [10:44] oh thats bad then [10:45] de-facto: try for yourself (if you have a default configuration), press sysrq-r [10:45] you'll notice r + e + i are dasbled [10:45] s + +b aren't [10:45] s + u + b aren't [10:45] i think it worked for me if i remember correctly [10:46] that's the impression you got since s + u + b work [10:46] REISUB is a last resort tho [10:46] yes could very well be the case [10:46] it does work if really needed [10:47] Help, I ran out of disk space on my 16.04 machine and now it's completely crapped itself. It boots up to command line with the screen blinking every half second, it only accepts input during that half second timeframe so login is impossible. I managed to free some space in Recovery mode but didn't help [10:48] BluesKaj: r + e + i won't work on a default installation, no [10:48] yasonTR, does ctl+escape bring up system monitor ? [10:48] cat /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf [10:48] tomreyn, mine is default install and it works [10:48] WOW, my pc is suddenly back responsive [10:49] as if nothing happened [10:49] BluesKaj: what is "it"? [10:49] top: nothing special [10:49] which logs should i check to see what happened the last hour? [10:49] yasonTR: syslog, the reason it's now responsive is most likely because OOM killer kicked in. [10:50] tomreyn, and what do you mean by :"default:" ? :-) [10:50] thank you developer/inventor of oom killer [10:50] Can someone help me with configuring squid proxy? [10:51] BluesKaj: kernel.sysrq = 176 in /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf [10:51] yasonTR, bet it was unattended updates running in the background [10:51] BluesKaj: default, ias in an unmodified ubuntu instlalation [10:51] ok and what is unmodified? [10:52] out of memory: kill process 7255 (chrome) score 329 or sacrifice schild [10:52] (i copied that) [10:52] BluesKaj: do you read what i write? [10:52]
