[06:09] <hateball> hi

[06:12] <hateball> !de
[06:12] <hateball> Guest74316: Otherwise just state your question :)
[06:21] <lordievader> Good morning
[07:43] <farhad> hi, i removed myself from sudoers by mistake. and in ubuntu i cant login as superuser to take myself back to sudoers. now i cant install nothing. what should i do?
[08:36] <lordievader> Boot into rescue mode and add yourself back onto the sudoers list.
[08:37] <lordievader> Or add the appropriate break kernel parameter.
[10:33] <lucas-arg> gooooddd morning
[10:42] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[10:49] <farhad> i remove myself from sudoers by mistake. and now i cant access to root. and in ubuntu we cant login to root. what should i do?
[10:49] <farhad> i cant change any thing on restore mode.
[10:50] <farhad> any idea?
[10:54] <BluesKaj> can you login to vt/tty . ctl.+alt +F2
[10:54] <BluesKaj> at the login page
[10:55] <BluesKaj> then, adduser username sudo
[10:55] <farhad> let me check.
[11:01] <lordievader> farhad: Why can't you change anything in restore mode? Rootfs being mounted read only?
[11:01] <farhad> yes, when i want to change some text file it says readonly
[11:06] <lordievader> farhad: Mount it read/write, in the recovery shell: mount -o remount,rw /
[11:06] <lordievader> Then edit the sudoers file using `visudo`.
[11:07] <farhad> lordievader: thanks. i should reboot my system. let me check.
[11:10] <zorin-os> ffs i swear someone should make a string to linker symbol converter
[11:11] <zorin-os> its so dificult on finding information on how objectcopy/linker converts a filename to a valid symbol definition/name
[11:13] <BluesKaj> lordievader, I thought he was stuck in limbo, unable to login due to being removed from sudo
[11:14] <lordievader> You don't need sudo to login ;)
[11:14] <lordievader> It is just a bit difficult to do root stuff without any login which does have sudo access.
[11:14] <BluesKaj> Imeant the vt/tty
[11:15] <BluesKaj> in ubuntu root is sudo, right?
[11:15] <lordievader> Yes, you can still login there, even without a sudo account.
[11:16] <lordievader> Well, yes and no. Sudo is a way to (temporarily) become root. In Ubuntu the root account is still the root account.
[11:16] <BluesKaj> !root
[11:16] <lordievader> Only it has not password (by default).
[11:18] <BluesKaj> I assumed since he said he removed himself from sudoers that he couldn't login as a user ot root
[11:18] <BluesKaj> or
[11:20] <zorin-os> try sudo -i
[11:20] <zorin-os> also how can i replace ascii hex ranges from 000 to 057 then from 072 to 100 then from 133 to 140 then from 173 to 255 with an underscore (ascii 137)
[11:21] <lordievader> BluesKaj: He removed himself (and I think the only user) from the sudoers list. I.e. removed to ability to become root in the traditional sense.
[11:21] <BluesKaj> zorin-os, that's a good question for ##linux
[11:23] <BluesKaj> lordievader, yeah it's the root pw that 'buntiu doesn't need
[11:24] <lordievader> In these kind of cases it can be usefull to have a root pw set.
[11:24] <BluesKaj> I don't understand why someone would remove themselves from sudoers at all
[11:24] <BluesKaj> like debian?
[11:25] <zorin-os> i think its possible to reset the root password by chrooting into the distro from another distro
[11:25] <lordievader> I thought Debian came without sudo by default.
[11:26] <lordievader> zorin-os_: There are many ways ;)
[11:26] <zorin-os> as i think it puts u as root by default for a chroot
[11:26] <lordievader> Like the rescue-mode.
[11:26] <lordievader> zorin-os_: Yes it does. But there are easier ways.
[11:31] <BluesKaj> lordievader, it comes with sudo now, but you still have to add youreslf to sudo as root
[11:31] <BluesKaj> yourself eben
[11:32] <BluesKaj> :-)
[11:32] <lordievader> Check
[12:49] <BuddyButterfly> hi all
[12:50] <BluesKaj> hi
[13:03] <BuddyButterfly> tnx for new backport! Feels much better and faster!
[13:03] <BuddyButterfly> Programs open faster on 2 of my laptops.
[13:03] <BuddyButterfly> Good work!
[13:13] <BluesKaj> thank the devels, we're the support people
[13:17] <zorin-os> lol
[13:18] <genii> I read that as devils at first
 either could be right......
[13:22] <genii> Heh
[13:24] <marco-parillo> The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.
 @BuddyButterfly Glad to hear that :)
[13:24] <zorin-os> how would i compare these: list1=$(find ./UPM/ | sort) && list2=$(find ./testextraction/UPM/ | sort)
[13:47] <zorin-os> so apparently it does not copy empty directories into the archive wich would kinda make sence as why add it if it is empty
[14:06] <lordievader> zorin-os_: For your first question, you could dump them to a file and let diff loose on them.
[14:11] <BuddyButterfly> IrcsomeBot: welcome! Just felt to give a positive feedback!
[14:32] <farhad> lordievader: with your help, now i add myself to soudoers. thanks
[14:33] <lordievader> farhad: No problem, glad you solved your problem.
[14:33] <farhad> lordievader: :)
[16:12] <wxwcof> does anyone here know how to debug the alsa script
[18:55] <zorin-os> could anyone test this? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mgood7123/UPM/master/Files/Converted/Multi/a.out (pre compiled test file that should extract wgetpaste)
[19:34] <robobox> hello
[19:38] <BluesKaj> hi robobox
[19:39] <robobox> anyone here still using 6.06 for nostalga?
[19:39] <BluesKaj> doubt it , EOL  many yrs ago
[21:23] <delphin> my kubuntu application drawer is not working with super key
[21:28] <valorie> by which you mean the old K menu, now the :> menu?
[21:29] <valorie> works for me, but I'm already on artful
[21:32] <delphin> i am not really sure (new linux user) but it shows a K logo
[21:33] <valorie> ok, you must be on an older version of Kubuntu then
[21:33] <valorie> the super-key way of popping that up is relatively recent
[21:33] <delphin> KDE PLasma ver 59.4
[21:34] <delphin> 5.9.4* my bad
[21:34] <valorie> I have 5.10.5
[21:34] <delphin> woah thats surprising
[21:34] <valorie> as I said, running the devel version
[21:35] <delphin> oh
[21:36] <delphin> though my version has the functionality too, this breaks after almost every reboot and i fix it and it breaks again
[21:37] <delphin> thanks for replying i am calm now
[21:37] <valorie> hmmm, well
[21:38] <valorie> it has worked for me every time I tested it
[21:38] <delphin> i thought maybe this was a keyboard issue as i do have a Mech Keeb
[21:38] <valorie> my little travel computer is still on the LTS
[21:38] <valorie> and this does not work
[23:09] <OnkelTem> Hi all
[23:09] <OnkelTem> How to set a usb camera as default device for recording?
[23:09] <OnkelTem> 16.04
[23:10] <OnkelTem> I'm sure I've done it, but who knows...
[23:10] <OnkelTem> My camera works fine in any software where I can select the cam - vokoscree, audacity
[23:10] <OnkelTem> but it doesn't work in Browser or in Skype for example
[23:11] <OnkelTem> So I wonder how to set it up as a default device
