[00:02] visudo should prevent issues with that by validating it before saving [00:02] i edited it [00:02] <[n0mad]> and only use visudo maybe as is recommended virtually everywhere [00:02] i just read about visudo [00:02] didnt know [00:02] gebbione: ** mount -o remount,rw / [00:02] it is remote, i need to work out if i can access it in recovery mode [00:03] yup you're stuck waiting for at least terminal access [00:03] i have terminal but i cannot sudo inside right now [00:03] unless you haven't patched lately and there are actively usable root exploits for your own machine, but for your sake i hope that's not workable [00:03] by terminal, I mean local terminal [00:03] Not ssh [00:04] oerheks: the cloud-init page says "(the above command would create from stdin an SHA-512 password hash with 4096 salt rounds)" [00:04] is it a VM, or a physical machine [00:04] akik: oerheks: fwiw, there is a #cloud-init channel if you ahve questions [00:05] akik, yes, salted hash [00:06] so many channels [00:06] oerheks: what about pepper? [00:10] if you're going to use a secret that only the server has, just encrypt the hashes. pepper strikes me as pretty pointless, but perhaps I just don't get it. [00:11] pepper is a secret that only the server has that you can't change [00:11] encrypting it gets the same security, but you can rotate the key if you need to. [00:11] a secret you can't rotate is broken, in my opinion. [00:12] [00:14] Toba it is a physical machine [00:16] hopefully your host/datacenter either has smart hands or a serial terminal you can get access to.

If you don't, then it didn't succeed [00:46] nacc: I can compile but 'make install' is difficult to revert [00:46] xz: I understand, but honestly, you have much larger problems on your hands if you're using an EOL release than `wget` and TLS [00:46] nacc: my backportpackage failed on Errno 110, I think it's because of proxy [00:46] nacc: yes, but I cannot solve it now.

[10:18] sir , i neinstalled ubuntu again , that logs was from my old ubuntu [10:19] hey guys, if i have some movie with several files, what should i add to such line to make it create the medainfo of the biggest file in some directory I'm in [10:19] i have installed a fresh copy now, deleted ebery thing [10:19] mediainfo --Output=...y ?? > /home/auser/mediainfo.txt [10:19] how to make it find the biggest stream file in terms of size [10:22] i can see available wifi networks but can't connect to them . Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter , please help me [10:28] anyone ? [10:29] i can see available wifi networks but cant connect to them , please help me [10:29] s10gopal: if you try connecting to a network, then run "dmesg" in a terminal and check if there is any interesting output [10:30] s10gopal: are you also in #lubuntu by any chance? there is a discussion going on about a similar Totolink device as yours... === ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom [10:30] NO [10:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25526845/ [10:31] can someone tell me how to choose the biggest file in some directory and add it to a command ? [10:31] s10gopal: join #lubuntu, and post your question there [10:31] auser_: `ls -S` sorts files by filesize. Maybe you want to go from there ;-) [10:31] yeah, I'm able to sort them by size, but idk how to put it in a command. [10:32] auser_: Then there's `| head -1`, for example, and this: $(some_command) [10:32] du -hsx * | sort -rh | head -1 this shows me the biggest files in some directory [10:33] so i should do it as mediainfo --Output=...y | head -1 ? [10:33] auser_: Use $() [10:33] I'm supposed to write mediainfo --Output=...y the file i want [10:34] okay so same line i wrote but enclode it with what you've said? [10:34] TIAS [10:34] auser_: you probably want #bash [10:34] $(mediainfo --Output=...y | head -1) [10:34] s10gopal: do you use secureboot on the machine in question? [10:34] this way vlt ? [10:35] Ben64, I don't know anything about bash tbh [10:35] auser_: right, thats why you should be asking in that channel [10:35] this is not an ubuntu issue [10:35] I'm trying to get someone who knows linux to help, that's it, but you're right that channel would be my best shot. [10:36] vlt, can you give me the exact command to type? [10:36] $(mediainfo --Output=...y | head -1) <--- didn't work [10:36] there is also ##linux [10:37] no secure boot [10:37] okay, I shall try there [10:42] i am getting this http://paste.ubuntu.com/25526863/ [10:43] back [10:44] i can see available wifi networks but cant connect to them , http://paste.ubuntu.com/25526863/ === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [11:20] ipv6.disable=1 [11:27] ppang: he left [12:05] I should copy all my / filesystem data. I will boot a live CD and mount the partition. Which method should I use to keep the files in their original state (including ower information and permissions)? [12:05] I will copy the files to another partition, make some changes to the first and copy them back again. [12:05] But because I'll be in live session I'm scared that the moving process will break the headers. [12:12] KeyboardNotFound: rsync [12:19] Hey folks [12:21] anyone here have this same issue to be worried like this http://vpaste.net/vYjxN when do-release-upgrade ? [12:24] never did an OS upgrade over ssh === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [12:26] fishcooker: I've done it several times without issue [12:30] even with the packages installed running, hateball? [12:32] fishcooker: sure [12:32] you'll get prompted if services need to restart [12:33] and that's also why it tells you a new ssh gets started on 1022, in case you lose connection or so [12:55] hi folks, i would like to allow some user to be able to restart services (systemctl) and run docker commands [12:55] what is the best reference for this as last time i broke the sudoers file === leion1 is now known as leion [13:20] hello [13:21] i'm in florida currently without a lot of services in florida. i was wondering if someone here could help me configure 2 network interfaces on this pc so i can share internet? [13:22] in a nutshell: i am borrowing the neighbors wifi with his permission, and i want to use this ubuntu laptop to give internent access to the rest of my house which is not in range of his wifi [13:22] !ics | sysRPL [13:22] sysRPL: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [13:22] okay [13:23] buit the problem is when i turn on my ethernet eth0, my machine stops using the wifi for internet traffic [13:24] i have to change the subnet? [13:26] 1)Check before you start (in Synaptic or with dpkg-query -l dnsmasq*) that dnsmasq-base is installed and that dnsmasq is not installed. Install or uninstall as appropriate (see next section). [13:27] this make no sense [13:27] wtf [13:27] help please [13:29] 3) Set encryption to "WEP40..." (Note: You may have to experiment here according to what type of encryption with ad-hoc the device supports. WPA is not supported). [13:29] connecting ethernet on my laptop disables the wifi by default [13:29] uhhhhhh [13:30] on windows i can have 2 adapters and it figures out which one to use based on what has access to the internet [13:30] okay, but what you're posting makes it sound like you're using both wifi and ethernet as the "client" side [13:31] the router accesses the internet ' [13:31] why do you even *want* this machine "using the wifi for internet traffic" if you're on the ethernet, which connects to your router, and thus the internet [13:31] I do not get it.
