| causative | not able to connect to twitch.tv on firefox 55.0.2, anyone else having this problem? | 00:58 |
|---|---|---|
| causative | or anyone else not having this problem? | 00:59 |
| bazhang | causative, tried gnome-twitch yet | 00:59 |
| bazhang | !info gnome-twitch | causative | 00:59 |
| ubottu | causative: gnome-twitch (source: gnome-twitch): GNOME Twitch app for watching Twitch.tv streams without a browser or flash. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.1-1 (zesty), package size 132 kB, installed size 722 kB | 00:59 |
| causative | I can watch it on chromium but there's a convenience factor of not needing a separate program open | 01:00 |
| causative | and I wonder if this is some issue with my system or if it is a problem everyone is having right now | 01:00 |
| causative | are you able to access twitch using firefox? | 01:03 |
| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| causative | actually I can't access it with chromium either, if I log in then it shows the same blank page firefox is showing | 01:07 |
| causative | gnome-twitch does not allow login to a twitch account, someone else also commented they had this problem so gnome-twitch is not really ready | 01:09 |
| bazhang | causative, so not tried what I suggested yet | 01:09 |
| causative | apart from login gnome-twitch is just not working for me, I can't view a stream, it is stuck on "Loading stream" | 01:11 |
| causative | twitch was working for me fine in firefox up until earlier today when it stopped working | 01:13 |
| causative | something probably changed on the twitch site because nothing changed on my system that would explain it | 01:13 |

| pxfgod | Hi, I encounter an issue that, after I ssh on my remote machine , and ran a process and the process crashed, I found the ssh client never output linefeed.Continually pressing Enter output like follows: pxf@ubuntu-pxf:~/game/pub$ pxf@ubuntu-pxf:~/game/pub$ | 01:32 |
| pxfgod | without line-feed | 01:32 |
| compdoc_ | try other terminal types, or edit the key | 01:36 |
| cedriczg | I get same problems from dolphin | 01:37 |
| cedriczg | And same result from xfce terminal | 01:39 |
| causative | Siva_Machina, are you giving me that advice because you tried it yourself? I already tried chromium | 01:44 |
| Siva_Machina | I gave it to you because that is what I do when troubleshooting issues like that | 01:48 |
| demophobia | Bashing-om: can you help me with the nomodeset again? my boot menu is different from what your previous instructions suggest; i tried following them and wound up with some text going across the screen followed by an indefinite black screen | 01:52 |
| iamj033 | Hey, guys. I am trying to disable using my discrete graphics card on my laptop (Inspiron 7559) and use only the integrated graphics to save battery. When I do "prime-select intel" and try to login, the screen freezes. I have a 6700HQ with a 960M. I am running Ubuntu 17.04 with GDM3 and GNOME. Any help is very appreciated! | 01:53 |
| demophobia | i'm at the UNetbootin menu and my options are Default, Help, Try Lubuntu without installing, Install Lubunt, Check disc for defects, Test memory, Boot from first hard disk. Should I press F6 now or 'Try Lu... I guess I'll Try Lubuntu without installing and then try your instructions hoping another menu will appear corresponding to Lubuntu instead of UNetbootin | 01:53 |
| emma | Is there any alternative to Plex for use with Roku if you are using linux? | 02:01 |
| Siva_Machina | demophobia, I use Etcher for putting isos on a usb | 02:01 |
| demophobia | I saw the red text 'press tab to edit options' and now it's saying /ubnkern and a bunch of stuff; how do I proceed to set the nomodeset and get it to boot from the liveUSB instead of a black screen? | 02:01 |
| bazhang | emma, why not cjeck the alternatives.to websire | 02:01 |
| bazhang | site | 02:01 |
| emma | okay I'll try that one. | 02:02 |
| bazhang | kodi is pretty much the winner | 02:02 |
| demophobia | Siva_Machina: Please change the lubuntu install guide so it doesn't recommend this UNetbootin if it works without this hassle | 02:03 |

| demophobia | 'SD card burner app', Siva_Machina? | 02:03 |
| kenrin | Why aren't you using just straight dd ? | 02:03 |
| Siva_Machina | I don't have control over Lubuntus install guide | 02:04 |
| demophobia | https://sourceforge.net/p/unetbootin/wiki/howitworks/ is not helpful except to imply that UNetbootin interferes with the standard liveUSB boot menu -_-; | 02:04 |
| demophobia | i have to go to bed -- another failure to actually boot from liveUSB ... | 02:05 |
| Siva_Machina | I am just giving help based off what I know works. | 02:05 |
| demophobia | linux just seems too hard | 02:05 |
| demophobia | following instructions from ubuntu's own site doesn't work. etcher, is this it? https://etcher.io | 02:05 |
| Siva_Machina | Yes | 02:06 |
| Siva_Machina | From previous experience. Etcher is super simple. | 02:07 |
| Siva_Machina | Plug usb in. Open up Etcher. Point it to the iso you downloaded and go. | 02:08 |
| demophobia | I guess I'll try it tomorrow. To be honest, I'm wondering whether ubuntu is worth it if the community can't even supply functioning installation instructions: Please change this page to not recommend UNetbootin, since it apparently does not allow you to set nomodeset options for a graphics card that can't load ubuntu's boot menu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick | 02:08 |
| demophobia | thanks. maybe i'll try re-burning the ISO to this SanDisk 16 GB drive now. | 02:09 |
| bazhang | demophobia, sd card to a macbook? | 02:10 |
| bazhang | thats hardly general use case | 02:10 |
| demophobia | bazhang: no, macbook: lubutu ISO to USB -> USB to boot lubuntu 16 from Dell D620 | 02:10 |
| demophobia | literally, following Ubuntu's own guide to getting ubuntu on a PC | 02:11 |
| demophobia | and doing exactly what they said to do did not work. | 02:11 |
| bazhang | demophobia, try etcher, keep the excessive complaints/commentary elsewhere | 02:11 |
| demophobia | sorry -_- tahnks | 02:11 |
| Siva_Machina | I dl | 02:14 |
| Siva_Machina | Whoops | 02:14 |
| Siva_Machina | I do think the install to usb page needs to be updated. If a better program then unetbootin exsists | 02:15 |
| Siva_Machina | Well easier to use | 02:15 |
| unholymachine | i don't think unetbootin could get any easier tbh | 02:16 |
| unholymachine | what could be easeir than point and click? | 02:16 |
| Siva_Machina | Etcher proves that wrong. At least for me | 02:16 |
| unholymachine | the artist? | 02:17 |
| kenrin | I still don't see how that is easier than dd if=blah.iso of=/dev/sdx | 02:18 |
| unholymachine | technically it isn't | 02:18 |
| unholymachine | but people like GUIs | 02:18 |
| kenrin | Well there is disk writer.. | 02:18 |
| kenrin | Don't even need to install anything | 02:19 |
| demophobia | Etcher's result: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." ... I verified the md5 of the iso, too ... | 02:19 |
| demophobia | Is this SanDisk drive defective? | 02:19 |
| unholymachine | people want just ONE BUTTON | 02:19 |
| unholymachine | lol | 02:19 |
| kenrin | It is one button | 02:19 |
| kenrin | right click iso > open with disk image writer > start restoring | 02:20 |
| unholymachine | no no no ,.... one button that will download, mount , flash , AND INSTALL ALL AT ONCE! | 02:20 |
| unholymachine | yeah that's not one button! lol ;) | 02:20 |
| kenrin | One button, didn't say one click =/ | 02:20 |
| unholymachine | whatever. ppl are lazy. that is the point. | 02:21 |
| kenrin | true | 02:21 |
| demophobia | should I erase the disk, format it as FAT32 (as it was) and try again with Etcher? | 02:21 |
| demophobia | (erase and format using Disk Utility) | 02:21 |
| demophobia | (on macOS) | 02:21 |
| * Siva_Machina is lazy | 02:21 | |
| kenrin | Any decent program will do that automatically for ya demophobia | 02:21 |
| unholymachine | open terminal in mac os | 02:21 |
| demophobia | kenrin: yes, i thought Etcher would, but instead I got this 'drive unreadable' result from it | 02:22 |
| unholymachine | dd if=location of iso. of=mount point of usb stick | 02:22 |
| Siva_Machina | But also likes the terrminal | 02:22 |
| demophobia | unholymachine: i don't know how to find the mount point of the USB | 02:23 |
| demophobia | oh, wait | 02:23 |
| unholymachine | you know, you could just have a shitty usb stick. it's not unheard of. | 02:23 |
| demophobia | yeah i dunno how to find the mount point. i tohught i could find it from Disk Utility | 02:24 |
| kenrin | fdisk -l ? | 02:24 |
| unholymachine | in fact, i know that some of those cheapo chinese usb sticks will NOT be read correctly even if they show up on your OS | 02:24 |
| demophobia | just says 'Devoice tree path: IODeviceTree:/' ... well, it's SanDisk, from Amazon Prime | 02:24 |
| unholymachine | JFGI | 02:25 |
| demophobia | kenrin: illegal option for mac os apparently | 02:25 |

| kenrin | Oh right, you got that diskutil thing | 02:26 |
| leftyfb | demophobia: I'm confused. Why are you asking for help with Mac OSX in #ubuntu? | 02:26 |
| demophobia | leftyfb: trying to make a liveUSB that will work with this Dell D620 | 02:26 |
| demophobia | (for lubuntu) | 02:26 |
| unholymachine | heh. | 02:26 |
| unholymachine | macs suck. may they all burn in hell. | 02:27 |
| demophobia | i thought to myself, "it would be great to try linux again and turn a cheap computer into a great computer" | 02:27 |
| unholymachine | you have unix in your OSX | 02:27 |
| unholymachine | why not just use that | 02:27 |
| demophobia | ... i've spent about $150 so far and can't even produce a liveUSB lol ... unholymachine: wanted a second computer for security (e.g. taking in public without worrying about it getting stolen or damaged) | 02:28 |
| unholymachine | you don't know how to dd on your mac bro? | 02:29 |
| unholymachine | how you gonna use linux? | 02:29 |
| unholymachine | if you can't dd??? | 02:29 |
| unholymachine | XD | 02:29 |
| unholymachine | ;) | 02:29 |
| unholymachine | j/k | 02:29 |
| demophobia | no ... i thought it would be good to learn computers at the same time ... 'learn by doing'? >_> | 02:29 |
| unholymachine | well i just gave you the answer in a link | 02:29 |
| leftyfb | demophobia: is the usb plugged in now? | 02:29 |
| demophobia | is lubuntu not a good lightweight linux distro for novices? | 02:29 |
| demophobia | leftyfb: lol yes | 02:30 |
| leftyfb | demophobia: in a terminal, type dmesg | 02:30 |
| unholymachine | i prefer xubuntu | 02:30 |
| leftyfb | that should tell you the device location (not the mount point. You do not need/want the mount point) | 02:30 |
| * demophobia was reading http://www.linfo.org/dmesg.html | 02:30 | |
| unholymachine | location and mount point are the same thing are they not? | 02:30 |
| demophobia | i'm trying to learn what i'm doing >_> | 02:31 |
| leftyfb | demophobia: then sudo dd if=ubuntu-image.iso of=/dev/somepathtoyourdrive bs=1M | 02:31 |
| unholymachine | mounted to /dev/sdb2 | 02:31 |
| leftyfb | unholymachine: no it's not | 02:31 |
| unholymachine | meh, you say tomato i say potato | 02:31 |
| demophobia | i will save this chat and try more later | 02:31 |
| leftyfb | unholymachine: /dev/sdb2 could be mounted to /mnt for instance | 02:31 |
| unholymachine | true | 02:31 |
| lafleurdubien | If anyone can help me, I'd be eternally grateful | 02:31 |
| * unholymachine shrugs | 02:31 | |

| demophobia | learned a few things already, thanks all | 02:31 |
| unholymachine | what did you learn? | 02:32 |
| kk4ewt | leftyfb, what is your issue | 02:32 |
| leftyfb | kk4ewt: I don't have an issue | 02:32 |
| kk4ewt | opps lafleurdubien | 02:33 |
| lafleurdubien | I have an issue with my laptop where the mouse/cursor just takes off to the far left and either: weird phantom right-clicking around - or - 'zooms-in' and makes webpages unreadable | 02:33 |
| unholymachine | sounds cool | 02:34 |
| unholymachine | maybe it's hardware related? | 02:34 |
| lafleurdubien | I've nuke & paved several times | 02:34 |
| lafleurdubien | and it persists | 02:34 |
| unholymachine | hardware | 02:34 |
| lafleurdubien | right, I'm thinking hardware too | 02:34 |
| unholymachine | replace hardware nao | 02:34 |
| leftyfb | lafleurdubien: sounds like your touchpad has an issue | 02:34 |
| kk4ewt | laptop or desktop | 02:34 |
| leftyfb | kk4ewt: "<lafleurdubien> I have an issue with my laptop where" | 02:34 |
| kk4ewt | nm i see you siad lap | 02:34 |
| kk4ewt | said | 02:35 |
| unholymachine | i could replace it for you . . . for a price | 02:35 |
| unholymachine | i do that shit on the daily | 02:35 |
| unholymachine | XD | 02:35 |
| bazhang | unholymachine, thats not helpful, nore topical | 02:35 |
| lafleurdubien | but here's the thing - the issue occurs with just touchpad enabled AND still happens if touchpad is completely disabled | 02:35 |
| unholymachine | oh then it's definitely hardware | 02:36 |
| lafleurdubien | I can use a usb mouse w/ touchpad off, wireless mouse w/ touchpad off or just touchpad | 02:36 |
| lafleurdubien | still happens | 02:36 |
| lafleurdubien | I get that its likely hardware, but what piece of hardware is it? | 02:36 |
| lafleurdubien | the issue does not occur with windows 10 (yuck) or fedora | 02:37 |
| unholymachine | how do you "disable" your touchpad | 02:37 |
| unholymachine | function and a button right? | 02:38 |
| unholymachine | seems like the distro your using doesn't fully support that | 02:38 |
| lafleurdubien | gui settings menus in: ubutntu gnome, budgie, mate - i just click "disable touchpad" | 02:38 |
| unholymachine | your laptop doesn't have a hardware switch to disable tthe touchpad? | 02:39 |
| lafleurdubien | no, I wish it did | 02:39 |
| unholymachine | aha | 02:39 |
| lafleurdubien | so its def the touchpad? | 02:39 |
| unholymachine | or the synaptics driver | 02:39 |
| lafleurdubien | if its the touchpad I can try to figure out how to disable/not recognize the touchpad completely. its crap anyways. | 02:40 |
| unholymachine | the touchpad , usually, is attached to the motherboard w/ a ribbon cable | 02:40 |
| unholymachine | that , once removed from the connector, renders it useless | 02:41 |
| unholymachine | but , sometimes, the whole keyboard and touchpad are on the same ribbon cable | 02:41 |
| unholymachine | so you'd have to take y our laptop apart and see | 02:41 |
| unholymachine | you don't like fedora? | 02:41 |
| unholymachine | seems like fedora doesn't cause the issue . . . | 02:42 |

| Maynard | /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table.

| Maynard | OK solved that section.... got it to format fat32 through Partion>>new (aat the top) | 05:07 |
| Maynard | Fingers crossed | 05:08 |
| emma | ddellav: do you think Plex is the best thing available for this? | 05:09 |
| emma | ddellav: i wish Plex was in the repo. | 05:09 |
| Maynard | partition #1 os SCSI1 (0,0,0) sda as EFIboot partio#2 )same as above) as ext4 # (same as the first) as swap. | 05:10 |
| ddellav | i use plex, it's the best i've come across, and there are deb's available to install | 05:10 |
| ddellav | just go to plex.tv and grab them | 05:10 |
| ddellav | dpkg -i plex.deb | 05:10 |
| Maynard | that's what the installer chooses default | 05:10 |
| Maynard | I'm installing but it always crashes on the grub2 install. If it does it again I'll be back with details. | 05:12 |
| emma | Maynard: yeah but I found that Plex keeps changing year to year and makes you reinstall it and some shows that used to work now say they have no codec | 05:16 |
| emma | it sucks | 05:16 |
| ddellav | thats very strange | 05:16 |
| ddellav | i've been using it for around 5 years or so without issues | 05:17 |
| ddellav | its handled everything i've thrown at it | 05:17 |
| ddellav | mkv, avi, mp4, etc etc | 05:17 |
| Maynard | I find with Ubuntu I get better results using not the new shiny but a last release type thing as pretty much all the programs I want I can get and the older finished (not so buggy) works best. | 05:19 |
| Maynard | But each to his/her own. | 05:20 |
| Maynard | emma @ | 05:20 |
| ddellav | thats a good philosophy for most things :) | 05:20 |
| emma | Maynard: yeah but where can I get an older version of plex? Im not sure Plex even lets you do that. Keep in mind I have to use it with Roku | 05:24 |
| ddellav | i use the latest version, it works with everything and plays on my roku an apple tv without issues | 05:25 |
| Maynard | emme sounds like ddellav might know more than me | 05:26 |

| MarkProffitt | Can I install Ubuntu on a USB disk drive without booting from a flash drive? I am running Ubunutu now. I want to make another install. | 05:57 |
| sysRPL | hello | 05:58 |
| sysRPL | hey uhm ... i have this weird thing. i setup an ec2 micro instance with ubuntu. i installed 2 main things on it: a socks proxy dante, and openvpn | 05:58 |
| sysRPL | but now when i monitor the ingoing/outgoing connections ... this host xxx.members.linode.com keeps appearing in my ec2 list of network connections | 05:58 |
| sysRPL | see this screen shot -> http://cache.getlazarus.org/images/iftop-linode.gif | 05:59 |
| sysRPL | i installed dante from a wget to deb | 05:59 |
| capri | HI, anyone in this channel has the Bose QC35? | 06:00 |
| vlt | MarkProffitt: Yes, of course. My favourite way is using debootstrap. | 06:00 |
| capri | I have some problems with those headphones and ubu 16.04 | 06:00 |
| sysRPL | on this page, is it possible (likely) the author linked to a deb containing a trojan? http://www.binarytides.com/setup-dante-socks5-server-on-ubuntu/ | 06:01 |
| capri | I have them connected to my laptop, but out of curiosity, as soon as I select the mic from the headphone as the default input device it automatically changes my audio profile back to HSP/HFP | 06:01 |
| sysRPL | http://ppa.launchpad.net/dajhorn/dante/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dante/dante-server_1.4.1-1_amd64.deb | 06:01 |
| vlt | sysRPL: I’d say possible. Likely, I can’t say. | 06:04 |
| Tadassssss | Hey everyone, I wanted to ask a quick question and couldn't find an answer on google. The thing is I have an ubuntu 14.04 vps on DigitalOcean and I want to migrate to somewhere else, because DigitalOcean is way too expensive. How could I easily clone the server from DigitalOcean to another VPS with the same Ubuntu version? | 06:07 |
| sysRPL | vlt: from the blog in question, the author writes "The default Ubuntu repositories have the dante-server package but it is outdated. The version present is 1.1.19 which is quite old and also has some bugs. The authentication feature does not work properly." | 06:08 |
| sysRPL | vlt, then he posts some tests highlighted in a console, and then posts "wget dante blah" as a deb from launchpad | 06:08 |
| === r0Oter is now known as r00ter | ||
| ddellav | Tadassssss you can't clone it to another provider | 06:11 |
| ddellav | however you could grab a list of the installed packages and then install those packages on a new server | 06:11 |
| ddellav | and then copy manually system settings | 06:11 |
| vlt | sysRPL: I’m not exactly sure what you’re telling me. | 06:11 |
| Tadassssss | ddellav, oh man that's so sad, so much work to be done now :((( well thanks a lot for your answer! | 06:12 |
| ddellav | Tadassssss this is why people use containers for their applications | 06:12 |
| vlt | Tadassssss: You could also rsync the whole thing, preferably when your target isn’t running. | 06:13 |
| ddellav | if you had containers migrating to a new server would be just a couple commands | 06:13 |
| Tadassssss | ddellav, but that's too late now? vlt, ok googling that right now | 06:13 |
| ddellav | Tadassssss yea, but you can learn for next time :) | 06:13 |
| Tadassssss | okay... | 06:14 |
| ddellav | and yes, rclone could work but that type of brute-force copy in my experience causes more issues than it's worth | 06:14 |
| sysRPL | vlt, i created a new ubuntu instance using amazon ec2. i installed 2 packages, one from apt the other from a deb. now when i check my connections, there is a connection from my amazon ec2 instance to a members server at linode | 06:14 |
| Tadassssss | ddellav, okay, I think I will just reinstall everything and copy my django files to the other server :( | 06:15 |
| vlt | sysRPL: netstat has a -p flag that tells you which process uses that connection. | 06:17 |

| Gallomimia | grossness :( | 06:38 |
| Gallomimia | alright. tbh this is an odroid c1 and that stuff came preinstalled | 06:39 |
| geirha | that's supported, but you should get that upgraded to 14.04.5 | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | so. i'm open to suggestions. | 06:39 |
| geirha | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | i'd really like to change mirror 'fore i get into that | 06:39 |
| Gallomimia | the speed difference will be worth it | 06:40 |
| Gallomimia | tho maybe my favorite mirror doesn't have arm flavored packages eh? | 06:40 |

| ducasse | geirha: ^^ | 06:41 |
| ducasse | sorry | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Gallomimia: we dont support external ppa's neither so perhaps disable before upgrade? | 06:41 |
| Gallomimia | what the hell are you both talking about? | 06:41 |

| lotuspsychje | Gallomimia: keep your system updated at all times | 06:42 |
| Gallomimia | lotuspsychje: thanks for the tip pal, but this is the first time i've booted this particular machine | 06:43 |
| Gallomimia | guess what the first thing i wanted to do was? | 06:43 |
| Gallomimia | not sure if i want to update it at all. maybe just flash with something new | 06:44 |
| Gallomimia | meh | 06:44 |
| Gallomimia | fussing with that is more crap than i care to put up with i guess.... | 06:45 |
| ducasse | Gallomimia: easiest way to switch mirror is probably to use sed or search and replace in an editor | 06:45 |
| Gallomimia | the easiest? | 06:47 |
| Gallomimia | that's amazing really... | 06:48 |

| aiena | Lachezar: yeah over modularity can be an issue too | 12:39 |

| aiena | coraxx: or temporarily store it in a var used by your bash script and process it | 12:39 |
| aiena | or use sudo -i | 12:40 |
| Lachezar | coraxx: sudo does not read password from STDIN, but from the Terminal (AFAIK), that is you can not pipe the password to sudo. | 12:40 |
| Lachezar | coraxx: otherwise: "sudo command arg1 arg2 arg3" | 12:41 |
| corentin | coraxx: you never want to type your password on the command line | 12:41 |
| corentin | and other user on the same box can know your password with ps ax | 12:41 |
| Lachezar | coraxx: example: "sudo ls -al /var/lib/postgresql/9.6/" | 12:41 |
| aiena | corentin: true | 12:42 |
| corentin | coraxx: other than that, sudo is already reading your pass from stdin and allows you specify multiple parameters | 12:42 |
| corentin | +to | 12:42 |
| aiena | at max store it in a variable for the lifetime of a script but even that is bad better to use "sudo -i" and then remaining commands if there are multiple | 12:43 |
| aiena | *run remaining | 12:43 |
| corentin | coraxx: or better yet, use keychain + ssh for your privleged commands | 12:43 |
| aiena | for me scripts that should run as root or need modification are never chmod +x'd | 12:43 |
| corentin | best of both world | 12:43 |
| Lachezar | coraxx: If you need to run a command with sudo form a script, might I suggest that you add a specific rule to /etc/sudoers for the case | 12:44 |
| === jamie_2 is now known as jamie_1 | ||
| corentin | Lachezar: it doesn't seem very safe, what if the user has write permission on the script? | 12:44 |
| bs0d | I need some help with x11vnc. Is anyone familiar with it? | 12:44 |
| corentin | I think it's better to just call sudo from your script and let it do it's job | 12:44 |
| Lachezar | corentin: Not really relevant, as you put the command in /etc/sudoers, not the script itself. | 12:45 |
| corentin | Lachezar: what if the user has write access to the script itself? | 12:45 |
| Lachezar | corentin: He can change the script, but sudo will not run a different command that is not in /etc/sudoers | 12:46 |
| coraxx | if I do this, it works --> echo -e "password" | sudo -S /myscripts/script.sh | 12:46 |
| * Lachezar gasps at coraxx | 12:46 | |
| Lachezar | Really? | 12:46 |
| corentin | Lachezar: oh you meant to add sudo rules only for specific commands which needs sudo inside the script? If yes, then I agree | 12:47 |
| Lachezar | corentin: Precisely! | 12:47 |
| corentin | Lachezar: ok then! just a small misunderstanding but we seem to be on the same page in the end! | 12:47 |
| Lachezar | corentin: Yep. | 12:47 |
| coraxx | ...however this fails --> echo -e "password" | sudo -S chmod 777 somefile.txt | 12:47 |
| corentin | I thought you meant to allow the script as root in sudoers | 12:48 |
| corentin | coraxx: what error message do you get? | 12:48 |
| corentin | how does it fail? | 12:48 |
| corentin | I would try it on my box if I didn't have to type my password on the command line ^^ | 12:49 |
| coraxx | corentin: I get --> sudo: 'chmod 777 file.txt': command not found | 12:50 |
| coraxx | corentin: yup its a very isecure approach to IT :-) | 12:50 |
| corentin | coraxx: try sudo sh -c 'chmod 777 file.txt' | 12:50 |
| coraxx | *insecure | 12:50 |
| coraxx | corentin: tried it ...doesn't work | 12:51 |
| corentin | coraxx: then you're doing something wrong, or echo blah | sudo is doing something weird | 12:51 |
| coraxx | corentin: no wait ...didn't do the sh ...hang on | 12:51 |
| corentin | ok let's create a dummy account on my box to try it | 12:51 |
| coraxx | corentin: thanx :-) ... your command is missing the -S parameter ...where does that fit in ? | 12:52 |
| corentin | coraxx: I guess you can do this: sudo -S sh -c "chmod ..." | 12:53 |
| corentin | coraxx: btw on my box it works without -S | 12:54 |
| corentin | for example: $ echo 12345678 | sudo touch /tmp/blah | 12:54 |
| corentin | file /tmp/blah is successfully created | 12:54 |
| corentin | but you should not need the sh -c "" trick | 12:55 |
| corentin | sudo should work with multiple parameters | 12:55 |
| coraxx | corentin: u sure it isn't because you are withhin the timeframe where you have already provided the sudo password once ? | 12:56 |
| corentin | let me check | 12:56 |
| coraxx | corentin: I get this --> [sudo] password for user: chmod: missing operand after ‘777’ | 12:56 |
| EriC^^ | coraxx: what are you trying to do? | 12:57 |
| corentin | coraxx: ok was doing something wrong, but this is working on my box: $ echo 12345678 | sudo -S touch /tmp/w00t | 12:59 |
| corentin | and the password was not already typed before | 12:59 |
| coraxx | EriC^^: I'm trying to "quick fix" a script permission problem, by running a regular "sudo"-command the would give the file I specify the correct permission WITHOUT prompting the user for a password. | 12:59 |
| donofrio | anyone know how I can export user setting's and xfce settings for vlock and such, I have more than one user on this ubuntu install.....would like them all to have the same setup...export config or? | 13:00 |
| corentin | coraxx: so you added chmod to sudoers for all those users? | 13:00 |
| coraxx | corentin: but you "touch" command only uses a single parameter ..try multiple ... like "chmod 775 filename.txt" | 13:00 |
| donofrio | How do I copy user information like xfce4 compoisite setting and font sizes and the like from one user to another? | 13:00 |
| corentin | coraxx: one sec | 13:00 |
| corentin | coraxx: also works | 13:01 |
| coraxx | corentin: fantastic ... what did you write ? | 13:01 |
| corentin | echo 12345678 | sudo -S chmod 777 /tmp/blah | 13:02 |
| EriC^^ | coraxx: add it to the sudoers file as ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/script | 13:02 |
| EriC^^ | coraxx: obviously make sure nobody can delete the script or edit it in any way, else they have a nice root shell | 13:02 |
| coraxx | EriC^^: I'd rather not ..as it is only for today ... an regulary a password should be entered :-) | 13:03 |
| coraxx | corentin: IT WORKED!!! thanx !!! | 13:04 |
| corentin | coraxx: you could write a tiny C prog that takes no parameters to do the execve("chmod", "/static/path.txt") for you, then make this prog suid root | 13:05 |
| corentin | coraxx: now I'm wondering how this could happen: 14:47:56 < coraxx> ...however this fails --> echo -e "password" | sudo -S chmod 777 somefile.txt | 13:06 |
| Emmarof | hello | 13:06 |
| corentin | guess you add quotes around your chmod command | 13:06 |
| coraxx | corentin: I'm currently running a "prototype" of some software that is running in "user mode" ...but the finished software will run on a server in root-mode, where the creation of files and their permissions is no problem to do. | 13:07 |
| Emmarof | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25438382/ i get this error when i try booting on ubuntu 14.04 | 13:07 |
| corentin | coraxx: sounds very dangerous | 13:08 |
| coraxx | corentin: only this week, because it is in use by some unexperienced users who as terminal-access via ssh, I need a "quickfix" | 13:08 |
| coraxx | *as=has | 13:08 |
| corentin | coraxx: I meant the final solution with software running as root etc | 13:09 |
| coraxx | corentin: ...ok well...it will not run as root ..but the point is, that it will run with the rights to change file permissions. | 13:10 |
| EriC^^ | coraxx: i fail to see how this is better, unless i misunderstood what you want, this way you're giving users the password for full root instead of just giving them permissions to run some command as root | 13:11 |
| coraxx | corentin: the software is a CR2 (Canon Raw Photo File) image web -publisher ...that converts the files to jpeg and copies them to the web ... and then creates a script that renames the files locally, that is run by a user. | 13:12 |
| corentin | coraxx: seems fun to pentest ^^ | 13:13 |
| coraxx | EriC^^: everything the users a running, is run in user-mode ..except this one little script-creator software that needs to spit out a file, that has execute-permission | 13:14 |
| EriC^^ | coraxx: sure, so why dont you add the user to sudoers as user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /the/command/you/need/as/root | 13:15 |
| EriC^^ | that way they can only run that specific command, and you dont need to have the password in plaintext too | 13:16 |
| EriC^^ | then just remove it once you dont want it from sudoers again, pretty simple | 13:16 |
| Ryanar | hey all, having issues with my cronjobs not running and not sure why | 13:17 |
| EriC^^ | Ryanar: try sudo grep CRON /var/log/syslog to see if it ran first | 13:17 |
| coraxx | EriC^^: OIC what you mean ... I like the solution I have now as I can control it from my git repository ... when I change the script back or finish the software, the file with the unsafe password disappears automatically from the test computer ....your is a good solution... | 13:18 |
| coraxx | EriC^^: ...however I would have to remember to log on to this PC and change it back <-- which I know I will forget ;-) | 13:19 |
| Ryanar | EriC^^ yeah they are showing up there, so maybe they are running, im just not seeing their output do anything | 13:19 |

| Ryanar | but I won't see that cron job show up in the syslog | 13:21 |

| Ryanar | no output / file made in /tmp/ | 13:22 |
| Ryanar | ok let me route it to my /home/user/ | 13:22 |
| EriC^^ | did anything show up in syslog about the 9 22 job? | 13:23 |
| Ryanar | no, but its weird the latest logs are showing as Aug 31 13:17:01 | 13:24 |
| Ryanar | and it is not 1pm yet in my timezone | 13:24 |
| Ryanar | so maybe I need to make the cronjob +5 hours to be in UTC? | 13:24 |
| EriC^^ | aha taht must be the issue | 13:24 |
| EriC^^ | Ryanar: i think you should fix the clock so it shows correctly i guess | 13:25 |

| LuMint | hi guys, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13 and a 1920x1080 LCD monitor with xorg radeon drivers. Whenever I install a newer kernel (4+) the sides of the screen got cut off, effectively diminishing what I see to less than 1680x1050px, even though 1920x1080 is still recognized in xrandr as normal resolution. To even see the start menu and task panel below I have to set the resolution to 1680x1050. What could be the reason? | 13:25 |
| msev- | I have 2 questions, whats the easiest way to use a webpage as a screensaver and have it refresh once and a while (in ubuntu gnome), or how do i set up that i would have a few rss feeds as a screensaver? | 13:26 |
| msev- | also in ubuntu gnome | 13:26 |
| Ryanar | er, what is sysrq? | 13:26 |
| LuMint | sysrq key? | 13:26 |
| LuMint | or sysrq in general? | 13:26 |
| LuMint | Ryanar: | 13:26 |
| EriC^^ | msev-: there's an addon for firefox that lets you set the autorefresh rate of a page | 13:26 |
| Ryanar | yeah what is sysrq key | 13:26 |
| EriC^^ | Ryanar: it's the prntscrn button usually | 13:26 |
| LuMint | ^ | 13:27 |
| SimonNL | LuMint: make your monitor auto scale by hand | 13:27 |
| Ryanar | ok ill google what it is on a mac | 13:27 |
| LuMint | SimonNL: you mean "auto-adjust"? | 13:27 |
| LuMint | I did that. | 13:27 |
| LuMint | to no avail. | 13:27 |
| SimonNL | could be. scaling is a part of that maybe | 13:27 |
| transhuman_ | hi trying to boot a mac book pro core2duo with 2 gig of ram from the lubuntu cd from a usb drive, doesnt seem to want to boot flashing cursor in top left corner...anyone know what I have to do to get it to boot (oh new hard drive in it, old one was badly damaged) no OSX discs except an old 10.4 10.3 | 13:28 |
| LuMint | I've also changed the default monitor setting form "auto" to "wide". The result was that the monitor stretched the 1650x1000 part of the picture to 1920x1080 | 13:28 |
| LuMint | not showing the rest | 13:28 |
| Ryanar | yeah | 13:28 |
| LuMint | so, it didn't help either | 13:28 |
| Ryanar | so the issue is just that I need to set the cronjobs in UTC time | 13:28 |
| Ryanar | ill just do that | 13:28 |
| LuMint | SimonNL: thing is, it only happens with kernels newer than 3.16 or 3.18, that is, with any 4 kernel | 13:28 |
| SimonNL | LuMint: auto scaling was only thing coming up for me. | 13:30 |
| LuMint | SimonNL: it shouldn't depend on the kernel. | 13:30 |
| LuMint | why, it couldn't *possibly* depend on the kernel | 13:30 |
| Ryanar | thanks EriC^^ | 13:31 |
| SimonNL | LuMint: you need someone with more knowledge then I have | 13:31 |
| LuMint | SimonNL: thanks for your willing to help anyway | 13:32 |
| SimonNL | LuMint: did you try #radeon as I see was suggested | 13:33 |

| LuMint | yep, their silent. | 13:33 |
| LuMint | figured I should also ask here while waiting for an answer | 13:33 |

| ducasse | Neepu: the docs i find are a little unclear on whether 'comment=' should be there, i find both in examples | 15:06 |

| Gallomimia | so, i've really missed out on some things. ubuntu-mate is now.... ubuntu? | 15:52 |
| akik | Gallomimia: ubuntu will use gnome 3.x, not mate as default. there'll still be ubuntu mate | 15:52 |
| foist | If I launch chrome with `GDK_SCALE=1 google-chrome`, it looks okay on my external, but tiny on the laptop. | 15:53 |
| Gallomimia | oh. uh... mate is that gnome 2+ ? | 15:53 |
| Gallomimia | see i'm way out of touch :( | 15:53 |
| akik | Gallomimia: mate has the old gnome 2.x codebase | 15:53 |
| Gallomimia | right right... and updates from there | 15:53 |
| foist | Any other ideas with my scaling issues? | 15:56 |
| foist | I think the issue is that my internal display is hidpi while the external is not. | 16:02 |
| akik | foist: try debugging the config file. it worked for me | 16:03 |
| akik | foist: i noticed that the path of it wrong (not that it matters), but own configs should be put in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (which doesn't exist by default) | 16:03 |
| foist | akik: is `<default monitor>` supposed to be replaced with a real identifier? | 16:04 |
| akik | foist: nope | 16:04 |
| foist | I'm not too familiar with these matters. How would I debug something like this? | 16:05 |

| akik | foist: nope | 16:10 |
| foist | http://dpaste.com/2C738HF | 16:10 |

| foist | akik: pure copy/paste | 16:12 |
| akik | foist: starts with Section, ends with EndSection ? | 16:12 |

| akik | foist: sorry... | 16:18 |
| foist | akik: it's.. | 16:18 |
| akik | foist: you need to mkdir xorg.conf.d | 16:18 |
| akik | foist: then put that file as 60-force-edid.conf | 16:19 |
| foist | And what should the file be called? | 16:19 |
| foist | got it, brb | 16:19 |

| singlemale35 | i am going to try a daily build from yesterday | 19:53 |

| ben_nabiy | I am stuck with a kernel that is partially installed and will not remove | 19:54 |
| ben_nabiy | Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 | 19:54 |
| ben_nabiy | http://termbin.com/r5p5 is the error I see | 19:56 |
| kenrin | How can a kernel be partially installed ? | 19:56 |
| ben_nabiy | partially uninstalled | 19:57 |
| fr0tzed | kenrin, lol | 20:05 |
| fr0tzed | ben_nabiy, when are you getting that | 20:05 |
| fr0tzed | at boot ? | 20:06 |
| ben_nabiy | when installing packages | 20:06 |
| ben_nabiy | or removing etc | 20:06 |
| ben_nabiy | The kernel got snaffued when trying to upgrade the zfsonlinux version | 20:06 |
| fr0tzed | but you can use your client | 20:07 |
| fr0tzed | that means it got a kernel | 20:07 |
| kenrin | Why don't you remove that kernel it is throwing errors for | 20:07 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: can you remove it with sudo dpkg --purge <kernel info> ? | 20:07 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos, dpkg does not show it as installed | 20:07 |
| fr0tzed | you tried upgrading ur kernel? | 20:08 |
| ben_nabiy | fr0tzed: I tried to upgrade the ZoL, but it required manually patching the .ko into the kernel, and then I tried to remove the kernel, but that package would not remove | 20:09 |
| ben_nabiy | I am booted to a different kernel | 20:09 |
| fr0tzed | ok, hmm interesting | 20:10 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: does this .91 kernel appear in /boot? can you manually rm those entries | 20:10 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: when I give your command, it gives the same error | 20:10 |
| fr0tzed | you get the same error everytime you execute a command ? | 20:10 |
| ben_nabiy | anything regarding apt | 20:11 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: that kernel does not exist in /boot | 20:11 |
| fr0tzed | hmm | 20:11 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: it is just the -extra package which is stuck | 20:11 |
| ben_nabiy | I think the /lib/udev/zvol etc is put there from ZoL | 20:11 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-extra-4.4.0-91 | 20:12 |
| Jurdoc | what are you running, G? | 20:12 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: tried that... will do again though | 20:13 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: does sudo apt-get install -f fix things? | 20:14 |
| ben_nabiy | http://termbin.com/kdef reinstall | 20:15 |
| Bashing-om | ben_nabiy: Disk space ? ' df -h ; df -i ' show you have the assetts free ? | 20:15 |
| ben_nabiy | Bashing-om: plenty | 20:16 |
| ben_nabiy | 138G free for /boot | 20:16 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: can you pastebin, sudo dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 20:21 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: http://termbin.com/7eft | 20:23 |

| UserUS | Hello. I was wondering, I got a new SSD and I want to move my ubuntu set up to the new drive. If I use the back up app in ubuntu 16.4.3 can I only restore that backup with 16.4.3 or can I install the latest LTS and still restore it? | 20:24 |
| [n0mad] | 16.04 is the latest LTS | 20:28 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 20:29 |
| b-yeezi | more broadly, Deja Dup (a.k.a Backups) has no problem restoring to different versions of ubuntu | 20:29 |
| b-yeezi | If all you are moving is user data, this is fine. If you want to move the entire install, It's better to use something like dd | 20:30 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: http://termbin.com/6cuo | 20:31 |
| b-yeezi | or clonezilla | 20:31 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: seems 91 and 93 are half installed/configured. Any chance you can reboot to another kernel and then remove them? | 20:32 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: this is from another kernel, and this is what we have | 20:33 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <kernel 91> | 20:42 |
| ben_nabiy | http://termbin.com/sjyh | 20:45 |
| Gallomimia | sucks to not be regged today | 20:47 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: I don't know about those 2 errors in the last pastebin, I'll search | 20:47 |
| singlemale35 | hi i just upgraded from ubunt 16.04 to 17.10 (daily build) and now on boot i get the error uknown file system | 20:48 |
| leftyfb | singlemale35: why did you upgrade from a stable OS to 3 versions ahead to an unreleased/unsupported version? | 20:49 |
| leftyfb | singlemale35: for support with unreleased versions of ubuntu still under development, /join #ubuntu+1 | 20:49 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos: I think they are related to the initramfs hooks for ZFS | 20:56 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: is there a diff in the status and status-old files in /var/lib/dpkg/ | 21:09 |
| ben_nabiy | no diff | 21:10 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: look in /var/lib/dpkg/status and find the package linux-image-4.4.0-91 ? What does the next line (status) say? | 21:16 |
| ben_nabiy | linux-image-extra... deinstall ok half-installed | 21:18 |
| ben_nabiy | and just linux-image... deinstall ok half-configured | 21:18 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: one suggestion ... 1. copy that status file to a backup. Edit the status file as root and remove those lines for package 4.4.0-91 (and -extra) make sure you dont add more linefeedss. Then, try an apt update | 21:28 |
| ben_nabiy | remove which lines, the whole entry for 4.4.0-91? | 21:30 |
| ben_nabiy | or just status line? | 21:30 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: the whole entry, from Package: to Package: Mine has about 26 lines (7302-7326). | 21:35 |
| ben_nabiy | pavlos, fixing the zfs issues, see if that will work | 21:35 |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: ok ... Im not sure if fixing the status file will make dpkg happy | 21:35 |
| ben_nabiy | manually patched in the missing udev rules and such, seems to make dpkg happy | 21:37 |
| * ben_nabiy sighs | 21:37 | |
| pavlos | ben_nabiy: phew ... | 21:37 |
| ben_nabiy | now, clearing out the old kernels | 21:44 |
| ben_nabiy | I wish launchpad was not so slow... | 21:45 |
| * ben_nabiy sighs again. | 21:45 | |
| kenrin | What do I need to install for ansible modules to work on 16 | 21:48 |
| ben_nabiy | do the hwe kernels contain the zfs modules? | 21:50 |
| kenrin | nevermind I found it. python-minimal not python2.7 | 21:51 |
| fuser | why can't I trigger --help and --version in the echo program? It just outputs it! I'm on Ubuntu 17.04. | 22:12 |
| fuser | man page says it should exist, GNU coreutils does check for it | 22:13 |
| kenrin | because you are using bash when you do that | 22:14 |
| kenrin | not the GNU | 22:14 |
| kenrin | /bin/echo --version works fine | 22:14 |
| fuser | oh! | 22:14 |
| fuser | kenrin: do you know how programs like youtube-dl support piping? Do they first check somehow whether they should write to stdout and if not they write to a file? | 22:23 |
| kenrin | I could check the source to find out but I'm not that curious =o | 22:26 |
| vlt | Hello. When I run `cat file1 file2 | pv ...`, where does pv know the percentage and ETA? | 22:37 |
| vlt | Actually it’s `cat file1 file2 | pv > /some/block/device`. So maybe it uses the size of the *target* block device to estimate? | 22:39 |

| tremblerz | Hi all! I want to change 802.1x properties for my ethernet adapter but the problem is that I have server version this time. Any suggestions for doing that? | 22:49 |
| vlt | tremblerz: I’m not sure what 802.1x properties are but maybe ethtool could help. | 22:54 |
| tremblerz | sorry, I meant protected eap | 23:03 |
| tremblerz | vlt | 23:03 |
| Loshki | tremblerz: somewhere in here I'm guessing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication | 23:16 |
