| ducasse | hi all | 11:49 |
| BluesKaj | hey ducasse | 11:54 |
| ducasse | hi BluesKaj - everything well? | 11:59 |
| ducasse | 4 more days until the dark tower premiere - happy-happy, joy-joy! | 12:03 |
| BluesKaj | fine here ducasse, and you? | 12:03 |
| ducasse | all well :) thinking about going out and do some yard work while the weather is good. | 12:05 |
| BluesKaj | now that the rain has stopped, and the lawn is finally dry I can finally mow the grass , it's very shaggy after a week of rain | 12:08 |
| ducasse | the forecast says 3+ days of nonstop rain are coming up, so it's probably a good idea to do it now | 12:11 |
| ducasse | going out, bbl | 12:13 |

| nicomachus | anyone wanna do me a favor? | 17:59 |
| nicomachus | Looking for anyone that has -old-dkms kernel files in /boot, and need to know which version of Ubuntu is removing them and which isn't (if any) | 18:00 |
| nicomachus | There are some interesting things going on... background here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/616512/purging-old-kernels-fails-to-remove-old-initrd-files/647311?noredirect=1#comment1503157_647311 in that first reply and the comments on it. I am @portugalthephilosoph there | 18:01 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Think'n . /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal introduced with the 3.13 kernel ?? | 18:07 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Nope, vivid : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/apt/vivid/revision/193/debian/apt.conf.autoremove#debian/apt.conf.autoremove . | 18:10 |
| nicomachus | Bashing-om: I'm not sure, the fix to remove those files was supposedly not in dkms version 2.2.0.3-1.1, which is the current version for xenial. | 18:11 |
| nicomachus | Bashing-om: that still doesn't seem to handle the old-dkms files. | 18:12 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: I would not try to appky it to older kernels . I do not have any idea of all the hooks that the scripts call when autoremove is invoked . | 18:13 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: ' dpkg -l dkms ' >> 2.2.0.3-2ubu all in updated xenial . | 18:15 |
| nicomachus | hmmm... 'dpkg -l dkms' here gives 'dpkg-query: no packages found matching dkms'. that's nice. | 18:16 |
| nicomachus | and 'dkms --version' gives: The program 'dkms' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing sudo apt install dkms | 18:18 |
| nicomachus | what | 18:18 |
| nicomachus | now I'm really confused. | 18:18 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Depending on what needs dkms ( display drivers ! ), might be good to install the dkms package . | 18:22 |
| nicomachus | I'm just wondering how I don't have it... and when that happened. | 18:25 |
| nicomachus | I know I did at one point. | 18:25 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Hosed up nvidia driver install ? | 18:25 |
| nicomachus | No nvidia drivers on this laptop.... just integrated intel graphics. My home HTPC, which also no longer has the dkms package, is running the radeon driver. | 18:27 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Maybe now it is a nvidia requiremnt only ?? see: ' spt show dkms ' . Strange here that Dell owns the rights ? " Homepage: http://linux.dell.com/dkms" wow ? | 18:32 |
| daftykins | O_O | 18:32 |
| BluesKaj | Bashing-om, https://github.com/dell/dkms/blob/master/dkms | 18:47 |
| BluesKaj | interesting that it can be freely distributed and mofified under the free software foundation, almost seems like a contradiction when there's a copyright on it | 18:50 |
| nicomachus | Bashing-om: yea, I'm on a Dell laptop though. So I figured it would be kinda necessary here.... | 18:51 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: Let me go back and look at your post . I will say that I have a 3.19 kernel that is installed in 17.04 ( upgrade) that autoremove will not touch . | 18:54 |
| nicomachus | Bashing-om: I deleted a few comments there with logs and added that dkms was removed my machines at some point. | 18:55 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: In BluesKaj's link is a hint as to why " Requires bash 3 or above." . | 18:58 |
| nicomachus | LOL, this is interesting: https://askubuntu.com/questions/938606/dwarf-fortress-starting-during-apt-get-upgrade | 18:59 |
| daftykins | :> | 19:03 |
| Bashing-om | nicomachus: I can buy thge 'df' explanation . As I say I have no idea of all the hooks that are called; but for sure all have to be valid ones . | 19:08 |
| nicomachus | I just love that someone actually came up with a solution to explain it. | 19:09 |
| daftykins | it is quite impressive to connect the dots | 19:10 |
| daftykins | and also shows a knowledge of just how lazy users are | 19:10 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: But, only inquiring minds want to know :) | 19:13 |
| oerheks | can one call this a vulnerability? | 19:27 |
| oerheks | this is just 1 example, df | 19:27 |
| daftykins | nah, everything can be alias'd wrong and cause drama | 19:28 |
| oerheks | is an alias check part of clamav? | 19:29 |
| daftykins | no idea :> | 19:30 |
| daftykins | all AV is a joke :D | 19:30 |
| oerheks | if not run from a live-iso, sure. | 19:31 |
