=== semeion is now known as mnemonic === beaver_ is now known as beaver [00:10] err, so, I upgraded firefox, and apparently the new version marks all off my addons as legacy [00:10] is there a way to undo that? [00:11] also, I read something about an alternative line of firefox that will support addons for longer, is it available in ubuntu? [00:11] You mean ESR ? That is only for NPAPI [00:12] Firefox just re-did their entire addon framework though [00:14] Killing XUL [00:14] yeah [00:14] I should've learned by now to not update firefox by default [00:15] We'll be seeing a lot more questions when 57 hits and webextension add-ons only [00:15] anyway, is there an easy way to reinstall the previous version? [00:15] meh, download any of the daily pre-builts back to the dinoasaurs [00:15] so, yes [00:16] You could just install ESR via ppa and have both versions. Pretty insecure though [00:16] https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ [00:17] capella: so no way to do that via apt? [00:17] :P Not that I know ... [00:18] kenrin: well, upgrading to 55 already broke everything for me. :| [01:12] I installed cinnamon and most everything seems to work except my laptop's media keys, brightness keys, etc... any ideas? [01:12] they work fine in GNOME, KDE, etc [01:13] I did recently uninstall unity, but hadn't tested them in cinnamon before doing so (maybe cinnamon in unity relies on a unity package for those or something?) === littlebit1 is now known as littlebit [01:13] Q: Not directly Ubuntu related, but the #heroku channel is dead. Been at this for hrs. Does anyone know how to get the Google service account key into heroku, the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env var please? [01:14] hoping someone here has some experience or suggestions, I guess [01:14] xteejx you would download the heroku cli and use something like heroku app:config KEY=VALUE... [01:16] craysiii, tried that, I get this https://pastebin.com/1B8zE3Uh - think the python oauth scripts are looking directly for a json file :( [01:17] Doesn't help that neither Google nor Heroku have this documented at all. Makes me wonder if it's even possible, although the github author says it is, but I did what he said and no cigar [01:19] I wonder if it's possible to echo to a file in the bash script, and set the env var to point to the created .json file.... no wait, that requires public visibilty on github. Grr! [01:20] 2:19am, I'll try again tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion craysiii [01:24] Had anyone successfully setup a GTX 960M graphics card to work with Ubuntu 16.04? [01:27] xuanrui: Many many have , what is the issue ? What driver and how did you install the driver ? [01:28] I installed my drivers from the graphics-drivers/ppa repository [01:28] I've tried nvidia-384, nvidia-381 and nvidia-375, and none of them work [01:28] (I get a black screen) [01:29] And yes, I did disable secure boot and install nvidia-prime [01:29] xuanrui: Pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' . See what is installed ( conflicts ?) . [01:31] Looks like I forgot to purge primus and bbswitch-dkms from an earlier install [01:31] Otherwise I've removed all nvidia packages [01:31] I'll purge them and try again with 375 [01:32] anyone have a clue why my media keys + brightness won't work in cinnamon but do in every other DE? [01:41] wondering if anyone has seen issues with linksys wusb600n wifi adapters? I can see networks and attempt to connect, provide password but it fails to auth. also doesn't work on open networks [01:41] seems to be the rt2870 chipset and goodle seems to be failing me === KindTwo is now known as KindOne === ATemmie is now known as ASpacy [02:05] can anyone help me install ubuntu? [02:05] ive been looking for hours but i cant find it on the app store [02:06] Bashing-om tried that, didn't work out. [02:07] Did you just install drivers from the ppa, or did you have to do something else? [02:08] nine_milli: Trolling is not welcome here. Please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss your ban. [02:14] xuanrui: I installed from out repo - ' sudo apt update l sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . Witht he PPA enabled I can accept that the 384 version driver ( recommneded )will install . See: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/123103/en-us . [02:14] i've tried 2 v1 of the wifi card and a v2 with no luck. i type in the pw and it just spins and eventually fails [02:17] dmesg: https://pastebin.com/K0Z0pdtq [02:27] Bashing-om hm, not so successful [02:28] 384 driver gives me a black screen, for some reason [02:29] (or for no reason) [02:30] xuanrui: See what X thinks : cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log . Is the GPU consistent ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ' . [02:30] Bashing-om we could move to DM, if you would like [02:31] xuanrui: Stay in channel .peer review is good . [02:31] Sure [02:33] I'll have to reinstall my drivers and check the logs. Meanwhile I'll probably have no access to GUI [02:41] Bashing-om Xorg.0.log here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25380274/ [02:41] gpu-manager.log here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25380276/ [02:43] xuanrui: reading.

Path: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; // " Is prime enabled? no : . I see next what X thinks . [02:52] Bashing-om I see, so what should I do in this case? === [b0b] is now known as b0b [02:59] xuanrui: Do not have a suggestion 'til I see what X thinks . I be reading X's log . Be back in a bit . [03:00] Sure. Thanks! [03:05] xuanrui: Any isea of why X does not see the Intel graphic's chip ?? Strange indeed ! [03:05] I have no idea [03:05] idea* [03:06] But obviously I could use the intel graphics if I don't have any nvidia drivers installed [03:06] it says: Intel® HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2) in about this computer [03:14] xuanrui: skylake sjould be well supported in 17.04. Bit what does the system see ? Pastebin - lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' - . See what we can learn here . [03:15] Bashing-om It's 16.04, but should still be pretty well supported. [03:15] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25380423/ - here [03:18] xuanrui: " BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-32-generic ". 16.04 with HWE to pull in zesty kernel ? [03:19] Yes, I installed HWE because someone said it solved their problems [03:19] not for me though [03:22] xuanrui: Well, we have no driver ( and X does not see Intel ) for the skylake chip set . The signal from nvidia goes through the onboard Intel graphics . We got to get Intel up . Now I have no experience with Intel . We just do the best we can . [03:23] Maybe I need to upgrade my intel-microcode [03:24] xuanrui, so this is a laptop with nvidia/intel hybrid i take it? sorry coming in at the tail end [03:24] Fretegi Yes. Better late than never! [03:24] It's a skylake [03:25] I use a usb-forwarded phone hotspot to get internet to my ubuntu laptop on the train everyday, but as of recent, using usb-forwarded hotspots has resulted in the laptop totally freezing up, and not responding to any keypresses, requiring a hard restart. Would anyone know what's going on with this? [03:25] xuanrui, what kinda laptop if you dont mind? [03:25] i have a skylake i7 built by system76 im on right now with that setup working perfectly, happy to share what i did [03:25] Fretegi sure. It's a Dell Inspiron i7559 [03:27] xuanrui: Let's read the bug report ! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1565516 . [03:27] Launchpad bug 1565516 in ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) "Fails with skylake & nvidia 940m, removes xorg.conf boot up/log in fail" [Critical,Expired] [03:27] xuanrui: Have you nomodset kernel parameter or not? [03:27] xuanrui, lspci | grep VGA [03:28] Fretegi 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Skylake Integrated Graphics (rev 06) [03:28] kallesbar good point. Should try doing that once. [03:28] xuanrui: Well I have same cards as you have and I needed to remove it, when installed 381 from ppa [03:29] Oh I misunderstood what you mean. No, I don't think I have it set [03:29] xuanrui: Fretegi :: " Same bug with NvidiaGTX 960M and Intel® HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2) :- " . [03:30] xuanrui, ok i suspect you have very similiar hardware as I. What i did was install nvidia-375, intel-microcode and added GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="1920*1080" to /etc/default/grub and run update-grub [03:31] And I would get 1920*1080 display right [03:31] xuanrui: Abd no given solution , We fly by the seat of our pants . [03:31] should [03:31] xuanrui: when I installed ubuntu 16.04 first time I needed to add it otherwise black screen, but if you do not have [03:31] xuanrui, also in the bios do you have the settings DISCREET and MSHYBRID? [03:31] if so set to MSHYBRID [03:32] Fretegi I've never checked [03:32] will do that now and will be back in a while [03:32] xuanrui, so your trying to get the gpu switching to work right? [03:32] Fretegi wait, did you have to install nvidia-prime? [03:32] xuanrui: When you get back to me . show us ' dpkg -l i965-va-driver ' <- that is the driver we want installed . [03:32] xuanrui, yup, but the nvidia package will bring that in [03:33] OK, sounds good [03:33] xuanrui, just to make sure were on the same page hold a second [03:33] Sure [03:34] xuanrui, the steps i mentioned, in addition to setting the bios to MSHYBRID worked for me to allow switching from intel to nvidia gpu using nvidia-prime. i was assuming that is what you wanted but never clarified [03:35] I've never seen anyone mention MSHYBRID. I guess that's what I need [03:35] and the manner in which u switch is via the nvidia settings tool, gives a very handy graphic tool to just pick the desired gpu but you must log out and back in to make the switch [03:35] if its set to DISCREET it will just be running the nvidia card with whatever driver you have installed for it [03:36] well not JUST using nvidia, but you cannot shut off the nvidia, hows that :) === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [03:39] Good, gonna do this. Will come back soon. [03:39] does firmware.agent called by udev look in /usr/local/lib/firmware ? [03:44] that whole nvidia-prime bit seems to be a bit fickle isnt it? [03:45] Fretegi unfortunately, I don't see a DISCREET/MSHYBRID setting in my BIOS [03:45] or maybe I wasn't doing it right [03:45] xuanrui, hmmm usually in the chipset settings somewhere, sometimes under advanced [03:46] do you also have the aptio setup utility? [03:46] Fretegi [03:47] xuanrui, i dont believe so [03:47] then we probably have different bioses [03:48] xuanrui: " show us ' dpkg -l i965-va-driver ' <- that is the driver we want installed " for the skylake chip set . [03:48] not sure what bios utility i have actually, never paid attention ha [03:49] Bashing-om http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25380552/ [03:51] xuanrui: Surprised ,, It is there . So why is it not loading . [03:51] I'm confused too [03:52] xuanrui, lspci -k what does it show for 'kernel in use' for the intel vga [03:53] kernel driver in use* [03:53] xuanrui: What is X working with ? Pastebin ' cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf ' See what the config file is . === Betonneklakske is now known as Garc [04:06] Fretegi Hm, I really don't have the DISCREET/MSHYBRID settings [04:06] Bashing-om any new insights? [04:06] xuanrui, hmmm, must just be set to hybrid all the time i suppose [04:06] Yea, should be [04:07] I have a dual boot windows system, in which my nvidia card works [04:07] xuanrui: My "22:53 < Bashing-om> xuanrui: What is X working with ? Pastebin ' cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf ' " Awaiting . [04:07] Bashing-om I don't have a xorg.conf [04:08] Latest backup is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25380721/ [04:09] xuanrui: You nust have it in order to configure X . and to be able to switch graphics sets ., and yes that bug is still evidient . [04:10] Bashing-om So I'll need to create one right? Mind reminding me how to do that? [04:10] xuanrui, that backup is exactly mine [04:10] my xorg.conf that is [04:11] xuanrui: Will be interesting to "see" what the sytem builds ' sudo nvidia-xconfig ' . [04:18] Package xorg-server was not found in the pkg-config search path. [04:18] Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xorg-server.pc' [04:18] to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable [04:18] No package 'xorg-server' found [04:18] Bashing-om should I be worried about this? [04:19] xuanrui: Yeah , We already know there is a problem . Just to identify what . [04:20] I got this when I was trying to `sudo nvidia-xconfig` [04:21] xuanrui: Let's try and identify what is missing for x-server : ' dpkg -l | grep -i xserver-xorg-video-* ' . [04:22] I have xserver-xorg-video-intel, xserver-xorg-video-intel-hwe-16.04 and xserver-xorg-video-vmware [04:22] I smell something wrong, I must be missing something like `xserver-xorg-video-nvidia` [04:22] vmware ? [04:23] Yea, it's there for some reason [04:23] I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to be breaking things [04:25] xuanrui: With the propeitary driver intalled there will be no ubuntu package for the driver . [04:25] Hm [04:25] So Ubuntu defaults to the proprietary driver, not nouveou? [04:25] (Whatever way that's spelt...) [04:26] It's nouveau, but I think you're right [04:26] Interesting. [04:26] arahael: NO, the propeuetary driver must be installed . Default for nvidia is nouveau . [04:27] arahael I mean, when you have proprietary drivers installed, ubuntu defaults to them. [04:27] Back in the day, I found that nouveau was the simplest. [04:27] But of course ubuntu wouldn't automatically install them for you [04:27] all i can think of is blacklisting nouveau, and sna tearfree dri3 conf https://askubuntu.com/a/796808 [04:28] intel 530 is not the oldest hardware [04:28] nouveau is blacklisted [04:29] xuanrui: Mine: http://termbin.com/3fiw . Where I run the 375 nvidia driver . [04:30] Hmm... [04:30] Maybe I need that metapackage [04:31] oerheks: xorg log file does not see Intel, and lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' does not have a driver loaded for Intel . [04:31] But seems that that just installs all other packages Bashing-om [04:32] xuanrui: All I am saying is that if you compare my output to yours .. are ALL these installed ? [04:32] I just installed all of them [04:32] I don't know which of them would work, but it can do no harm I guess [04:32] never seen such xorg http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25380721/ [04:34] Now I'll try rebooting, likely will still get a black screen [04:35] xuanrui: All the xserver-xorg- packages I have are all installed by default on my system . One size to fit any situation . [04:38] oerheks: Yeah . strange config file ! [04:42] hey guys, I'm trying to install opencl drivers for nvidia on my machine, however clinfo doesn't detect the gpu, and I get the error [04:42] clinfo: /usr/local/cuda-8.0/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/libOpenCL.so.1: no version information available (required by clinfo) [04:42] any idea on how to solve?

[04:43] and updating microcode [04:45] i think 17.04 does get the right intel driver, 16.04 with hwe does not suport kaby?

[04:52] xuanrui, not really. what is the main issue though? just stuck on either intel or nvidia? [04:52] Fretegi I can't get nvidia drivers to work at all. They give me a black screen [04:53] common issue, but none of the solutions I found online helped me [04:53] xuanrui: Still no Intel driver loaded : pastebin - lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' ; lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' .

[04:54] xuanrui: Fretegi Barking up the wrong tree , nvidia drivers are loaded . Intel is not . [04:55] Bashing-om not really, I had to purge nvidia drivers every time before I get my display back [04:55] error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.58.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [04:55] I don't know why I am getting this error [04:56] xuanrui: Making progress !

[05:07] My nvidia card is a "3d controller", though [05:07] not a "VGA compatible controller" [05:07] strange [05:07] and fwiw, i am running only on the intel card at the moment [05:07] still sounds like a modesetting issue to me [05:08] Fretegi: looks good .. but not sky/kaby-lake for intel ?? [05:08] Fretegi I want to run on my nvidia card, though [05:08] Intel card OK, nvidia card it doesn't work [05:10] Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/bS6fEsC4 weird i know that i have the i915 but check it out, line 3, SKy lake... [05:10] https://pastebin.com/bS6fEsC4 [05:11] well with modesetting not working properly that could very easily cause your black screen [05:11] xuanrui, do you have another functioning computer you can use at the same time? [05:12] Fretegi I do not, but I can connect to irc on my phone [05:13] xuanrui, well what i was going to suggest is booting that laptop into its black screen and SSH'ing into it so we can see exactly whats broke while its running. its likely running just has a messed up display [05:13] Fretegi: U read it that the pci is skylake but the actual graphics chip is not . Look at xuanrui's out puts . the video chips are expressly skylake, yours are not . [05:14] Fretegi I can always log in to a TTY [05:18] Bashing-om what drivers should I have, then? [05:19] Bashing-om, oops, im a clown on that one, sorru... im on a kabylake... got the names mixed up... [05:19] but 965 still the supposed driver i should have, but 915 running just fine [05:22] xuanrui: In your case I would accept i965 or perhaps maybe i915_bpo . [05:23] Bashing-om Obviously I do have that installed...how do I configure ubuntu to use that? [05:24] If I add my user to the www-data group, I am still unable to write to /var/www using that user account. If I instead chmod to the user I am able to write without any problem.

[05:24] What* [05:24] Just did that [05:25] waiting for next steps Bashing-om [05:26] xuanrui: Should be nothing else required but to reboot the system. and look and see then what the in-use driver is . [05:26] Rebooting now [05:26] Looks like: sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www [05:37] Bashing-om still i915 in use [05:37] this is no good [05:38] xuanrui: Sorry, I do not know what else to try or advise .

[07:39] dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted [07:39] This is giving me a huge headache Bashing-om Fretegi [07:39] Fretegi [07:40] I guess my fallback is just to update to 17.04? [07:44] apt update:https://paste.gnome.org/pp7cdxf20 (gnupg is installed) ... Could not execute 'apt-key' to verify signature (is gnupg installed?) ... [07:45] zaoqi: is the root fs readonly? [07:45] no [07:47] ducasse: no [07:49] xuanrui: Still mulling and talking your issue over . I a, still stuck on why the i965 driver does not load . [07:50] Yep, seems that the problem isn't really with nvidia drivers [07:50] zaoqi: try again with 'sudo apt -o APT::Sandbox::User=root update' [07:52] xuanrui: I have seen countless xorg files . The striking thing with yours, as I have remarked. is that Intel is not identified . [07:53] I haven't seen that many xorg files Bashing-om [07:53] maybe mines is wrong? [07:54] ducasse: Can I 'echo APT::Sandbox::User=root>>/etc/apt/apt.conf'? [07:55] xuanrui: Let me clarify . It is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in reference , It is a log of what X is doing . We know tou have both Intel and Nvidia on your system, yet the file does not reflect Intel ! [07:56] Yep, that's strange [07:57] zaoqi: you can try, i would just run it once as a test [08:02] zaoqi: but if you do, i think you need to replace the = with a space [08:17] I have a problem using a wifi dongle on ubuntu 16.04.3. I can connect with the wifi network, but when I try to browse I get 'unable to connect' for every website [08:19] ducasse, I've just stumbled across this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xbindkeys#Configuration (ctrl+f "Simulating multimedia keys") - is it worth trying to remap using xdotool and xmacro instead of the xkb stuff? (I signed up and mailed the mailing list for xbindkeys, I've never used one so I'm not sure if I've done it right but fingers-crossed) [08:21] yeeve: seems that also relies on xmodmap, if i read it correctly, and xmodmap is no longer guaranteed to give expected results [08:22] Ok ducasse, I just thought I'd get your opinion :P I'll wait for help on #xorg and the mailing list, thanks for everything man! [08:23] hi guys, how do I find per process io to particular device? like iotop [08:23] yeeve: i'm not saying it's not worth a try, though, it's not going to break anything a restart shouldn't cure :) [08:24] ah well in that case I've got nothing to lose! :P [08:24] yeeve: be aware that because xmodmap is deprecated, it sometimes needs to be run twice to 'take', for some reason [08:25] that's good to know thanks, I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else whilst searching around [08:25] yeeve: it behaves _very_ strangely since xkb was introduced :) [08:26] ducasse, do you know if Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 uses Wayland and if Wayland could be getting in the way at all? https://superuser.com/a/1032426 [08:27] yeeve: no, it doesn't, and if this was wayland you couldn't use setxkbmap etc [08:27] Ah ok :P wasn't sure xD [08:28] yeeve: wayland is expected in 17.10 [08:30] yeeve: ..which is great news for you, as it will horribly break everything you're doing now (unless you stick to using x11) :D [08:30] ducasse xD thanks dude ... [08:30] everything good! what is next version of ubuntu affter zesty zappus? and when it will appears? [08:31] ducasse, does wayland have it's own method for this or is it too new for other tools to work with it? [08:31] yokowka: 17.10, in october. support in #ubuntu+1 [08:31] thank you ducasse [08:32] in which date of october? ducasse [08:32] yeeve: it has it's own methods for some of it, tools will be developed eventually for the rest. it's a bit early, imho [08:32] yokowka: 19th, i think [08:33] thank you, and all good [08:34] Fellas, did enyone knows site with free getting sms online numbers? [08:34] phone numbers [08:35] !ot | yokowka [08:35] yokowka: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:39] i can't ping my host from my VM in virtualbox, anu idea ? [08:39] I have virtualbox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter [08:41] I have the same dongle for 2 ubuntu 16.04.3 systems. On one system, it is using the iwlwifi driver and wifi works. On the other its using the rtl8192cu driver and I keep losing wifi. How can I get the iwlwifi driver on the other pc? [08:42] problem solved FW issue :) [08:44] trijntje_: you mean you have two identical dongles, or just the one that they share? [08:45] ducasse: two identical dongles [08:45] trijntje_: do they give the same lsusb output? [08:46] ducasse: yes, 7392:7811 [08:47] ducasse what do you mean this "!ot"? [08:47] yokowka: it's a trigger to get ubottu to write that message for you [08:48] yokowka: ('ot' means 'off-topic') [08:48] ducasse: I did make one mistake, the working one is using rtl8xxxu driver [08:49] trijntje_: you could try blacklisting rtl8192cu, i guess [08:50] ducasse: I tried that, but then there is nothing to replace it, so I just end up without wifi [08:51] i understand [08:52] ducasse what is ubuntu kylin? [08:53] !kylin [08:53] Ubuntu Kylin is a variant of Ubuntu that focuses on Chinese users. It is an official part of Ubuntu. For more information, see http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/ubuntukylin [08:54] thank [08:55] trijntje_: i'm really not sure, realtek chipsets are always problematic [08:58] trijntje_: rtl8192cu should not be loaded for 7392:7811, according to the modinfo output i get [08:58] ducasse: it looks like I have it working with the correct driver now. by running `sudo modprobe -r rtl8192cu; sudo modprobe -r rtl8xxxu; sudo modprobe rtl8xxxu' [09:00] ducasse: what command is that? The computer that has the issues is a fresh install from last week, so I'm not sure why it has these issues [09:01] trijntje_: 'modinfo rtl8192cu' [09:10] ducasse: according to that command, my dongle should indeed be using the rtl8xxxu driver. So I guess I should blaclist the rtl8192cu. But how do I make sure that the rtl8xxxu driver gets used when I do that? [09:12] ducasse, ... you won't believe it!!! [09:13] this post https://askubuntu.com/a/938976 shows this syntax keysym | keycode so I tried that ... and "XF86WebCam | m:0x0 + c:90" works perfectly! [09:13] It's like a conditional to check both, the | is more like & [09:13] dudeeeeee! [09:13] my system issues are escalating === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [09:19] wtf, why does Ubuntu tell me that the program 'irssi' is currently not installed?? [09:21] now I am confused... I was sure I had used it on this computer, but I find no trace of it [09:25] Nooooo! It is an OR operator! I just got (un)lucky with the key I choose to test :( [09:31] "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." [09:31] alas, this cmd just produces even more errors... [09:47] are you running out of space? [10:01] hi, is there still issues when using iptables + Networkmanager at the same time ? [10:04] Aliekezhi: what's your issue? [10:08] akik, don't have any issues yet, but on the iptables guide : "WARNING: If you use NetworkManager (installed by default on Feisty and later) these steps will leave you unable to use NetworkManager for the interfaces you modify." [10:08] akik, I mean this guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [10:11] akik, do I really need to make a script for Network manager to load iptables rules ? [10:15] Aliekezhi: use ufw to manage it. it's installed by default in ubuntu [10:16] i feel like some of the community wiki pages are not updated [10:18] for example ufw handles now all that which is mentioned in solution #1 [10:20] Aliekezhi: you can add iptables rules to /etc/rc.local and still happily use networkmanager [11:02] If I simply would like to run a script of mine on boot, what is my best and fastest option to do that with ubunt 16.04? [11:03] adac, there are a few options. I like /etc/rc.local because it's one of the first I check for stuff running on startup [11:05] yeeve, so basically I can just add my command I like to execute there or? [11:07] adac, yeah, whatever commands you put there get called. Just make sure you use full paths and test it to make sure it actually runs as you'd expect [11:08] yeeve, OK I see, thank you. [11:08] yeeve, one last question: when is this excuted actually? Before or after all services are up? [11:12] mcphail, thx, I like this solution :) [11:12] hey all, is there ubuntu's base tarball? I want to use ubuntu in chroot :) === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr [11:15] Aliekezhi: :) [11:15] yeeve, found the answer I think: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/49635 === ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom [11:19]
