=== linda is now known as cptlawdy [01:44] that freaked my client, dis- and reconnect with open pm [01:44] lost 1 line from you, I think [01:44] wrong place [02:07] i'm having an interesting problem for sure. i'm struggling with this system for a long time. finally got it to boot into emergency mode and everything is working except.... i can't get out of emergency mode [02:10] You exit and reboot as normal [02:10] what's that? type exit?? [02:21] just scrolls a log and then returns to the same message [02:22] reboot [02:23] how is it you think that's helpful advice? [02:23] ???? [02:23] use the 'reboot' command [02:23] i'd really rather not. [02:23] Is it not? If everything is working then rebooting should boot as normal [02:23] it doesn't boot. [02:23] everything is not working. [02:23] So you need to fix the issue first [02:23] right [02:23] you said you wanted to get out of emergency mode [02:23] that's how you do it [02:24] emergency mode is the closest to working i can get it [02:24] i'm celebrating to see emergency mode, but i can't make it go beyond that [02:24] So why did you ask how to get out of it [02:24] you should be asking how to fix the issue [02:24] so i can get out of it. [02:24] this is going in circles, much like this boot process [02:24] if you ask a half ass question, expect the same kind of answer [02:24] what exactly is your problem? [02:25] see, that's what i expected. more questions, not answers [02:25] i'm not exactly sure what the problem is. and where to begin? [02:25] rebooting is how you get out of emergency mode [02:25] i've had this system limping for a long time [02:25] that's what you asked, we answered [02:25] rebooting is how i got into emergency mode [02:25] Does it say anything when you try to boot normally ? [02:25] so, if i do that, it's coming back to emergency mode [02:25] no. [02:26] Absolutely nothing? [02:26] i mean, it tries. there's logs that list [02:26] but it either locks up in a graphical grub, or i try to activate recovery mode, or it's a blank screen [02:26] i have tried a lot of different things. it's always been so fussy. [02:27] So what troubleshooting steps have you tried besides going into emergency mode [02:27] near as i can tell, i have the exact motherboard that no one should ever try to run linux on [02:27] i've added nomodeset and ahci=off to kernel parameters [02:27] er... something [02:28] Has it ever worked? When it sticks at "black screen" can you get into a console tty ? [02:28] sure lots [02:28] tho i suspect i never had it working perfectly. there's always been some kinda problems. such as flakey usb3 [02:29] the black screen is always a black screen. changing to a console tty doesn't work. nor does ctrl alt del [02:29] Well first you need to boot with no splash and see why it isn't booting or look at logs. Without more information no one can help you [02:29] the emergency mode console gets me some access to logs [02:31] have you ever seen this message: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in corruption and stability problems, and is not supported. [02:31] cause.... i have. and i'm reading some stuff about it. and i don't like it. [02:33] That just means nvidia doesn't fully support uefi as of yet. It shouldn't have any affect on anything [02:34] it should give me some advice on how to proceed tho [02:34] Not really. That message appears on 100% of people who use a nvidia card and uefi [02:35] Well, anyone who uses CMS anyway [02:35] CMS? [02:36] "The Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is a component of the UEFI firmware that provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS environment, allowing legacy operating systems and some option ROMs that do not support UEFI to still be used." [02:36] that makes more sense than "did you mean KMS" :V [02:41] hello === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:01] hello everyone, I got quite a problem in my hands. my ubuntu 16.04 failed to re-emerge from suspend, it would not take my password, I pushed the power button and thought little of it. now it cannot boot from my SSD and it looks as if some memory was corrupted. comrest, ata2 hard resetting link are all error I got at one point. recovering mode gets stuck after entering the encryption password and so does booting a previous re [03:01] up my files but I cannot seem to mount the encrypted hard drive, to run ecryptfs-recovery-private. any thoughts? [03:02] * comreset failed errno=-16 to be precise [03:02] try taking the hard drive out of the machine it's in now and plug it into another system to get the files off [03:03] it could be that something is wrong with the cpu, memory, motherboard etc === PickledEggs_ is now known as PickledEggs [03:05] Toba: on it now. I need to say I tried to recover my files running ubuntu from another ssd and it seems to work fine (can access other encrypted hds) a part from mounting the "corrupted" ssd. will try from my laptop and see. [03:08] Toba: I get the same problem where the only thing to be mounted is the efi, grub, releases folder a 512 MB volume and the 1TB stays unmounted. after a little while it drops both and I need to replug the ssd [03:09] That sounds a lot like your SSD has a hardware issue to me [03:09] :( [03:13] Toba: it is a new SSD 850EVO D: [03:14] Toba: thinking about it I would not know how to go about formatting it to flash a new distro come to think of it [03:15] if it's doing this i would want to test it for errors thoroughly before installing something else on it [03:15] hello i installed apache2 , i did: service apache2 start and after that i looked if it runs service apache2 status but i found that it doens't work [03:15] Active: inactive (dead) since 4 second :/ [03:16] Toba: I would not know where to start. I just wished there was a way to boot it up. I am surprised there is no way around using recovery mode. [03:17] have i to configure something after a fresh install of apache2 ? [03:32] --resolved-- [03:35] is there any proper alternative to network manager which is able to let the user manage network settings (in contrast to network-manager which does not get rid of its garbage settings with --purge)?

[05:32] Sawbones2: well it's not in the repos so not officially supported [05:32] but it looks like it has both a deb and tar installer, so... seems straightforward enough [05:34] I've never used this chat before. Whats the best way to link screenshots so I can show what I'm running into [05:35] Hey guys, I have a Vizio TV that I connect to my laptop and use as a moniter, well it was working this morning, but now I can't get Ubuntu to recognize the display.

So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [06:11] Is there any way I can use lxd with kea-dhcp4-server instead of dnsmasq? [06:12] I really like my kea-dhcp4-server better than the original ISC DHCPD [06:13] dnsmasq isn't the original isc dhcpd :) [06:15] evening peeps. I have a Ubuntu machine on a LAN which is also a recording server for some IP cameras, when I enable UFW the cameras cant mount the NFS [06:15] yes I know - it seemingly forces me to use dnsmasq [06:15] disble UFW and all works [06:17] Al_nz1: this means one of the iptables rules is interfering with your NFS connection - check what iptables rules are set after you enable ufw, copy to a temporary file and then instead of using ufw add said rules individually yourself until your NFS is blocked [06:17] Al_nz1: it's a firewall with a default set of policies, dropping inbound traffic. [06:17] Al_nz1: that way you can figure out exactly which rule is impeding your NFS traffic [06:17] maybe I will start with listing rules [06:18] Al_nz1: I do not use UFW so I cannot help you but I am assuming it defaults to dropping all inbound traffic unknown to it [06:18] s/drop/reject/ [06:18] Al_nz1: if you want to be more future proof you can use nftables instead [06:18] MrHooper: yeah looks like it. I think I will setsome allow all rules for camera IP's [06:19] Al_nz1: probably not a good idea to allow all for camera IPs but only the traffic the cameras require for recording [06:19] MrHooper: I dont really know UFW or IPTables - I just want to get this going - so a permissive rule to trust the 3 camera IP's ought to do it [06:19] Al_nz1: iptables is the foundation of most linux firewalls [06:20] iptables/netfilter [06:20] MrHooper: yip - not disagreeing there - learning it is also quite involved [06:22] Al_nz1: it isn't as difficult as you think - it just takes a bit of time, experimentation, and patience - it also helps A LOT to understand netfilter logic flows which I cannot claim to grasp quite yet [06:22] Al_nz1: nftables is easier to understand actually [06:23] btw ufw rule : sudo ufw allow from 10.1.1.20 fixed it [06:23] Al_nz1: good [06:23] that allows any and all traffic from that ip address to the ufw system [06:25] yip [06:39] is there a tv-tuner (hardware I believe) for ubuntu? (I searched but missed the boat.) [06:42] tripelb: this link might help, check other places on that wiki as well - https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices [06:42] thanks. [06:42] afaik there are several tuners that work fine with linux [06:47] tripelb: you might have better luck asking in a channel for something like tvheadend or openelec - some project where a lot of people use tv tuners [06:48] thats nice. iy they dont cost 4x as much.. cross fingers. [06:48] ducasse: thosr are [06:48] ducasse: those will be treated like clues. [06:49] sorry? [06:50] like where to find a tv tuner is a mystery. i am the detective, you are an i formany,the channel names gives me a path for investigation, hence a clue.

[06:51] shrug. jilletante [06:51] (just made that up) [06:51] there's an openelec channel on freenode, #openelec - try asking them. remember you need one that works on your network etc. [06:52] there's #tvheadend as well, but only 6 users...

[09:07] Can I run bash script using ppa [09:08] xmrpooler_iphone: wht are you trying to achieve? [09:12] xmrpooler_iphone: you can package it, sure, but if it's just a script why not just put it on a page or github? [09:12] I have bash script which automate tasks but command is long as there is URL with fancy looking long numbers and alphabets so it's not memorable and bash script does simple tasks that are hard for people who are using ubuntu for frist time [09:13] So I want them to just carry one something like apt-get install task [09:13] Runtask [09:14] And everything happens in background [09:14] honestly, there are tons of scripts like that out there... [09:15] I just want to know how this happens [09:16] you can look at launchpad to see how setting up a ppa works, as i suggested before [09:16] Checking out:) [09:17] Ducasse automate general task is a example [09:21] xmrpooler_iphone: join ##bash and read the ebook in the topic [09:21] I am there [09:22] But about repository community of ubuntu have more idea then bash am I wrong?

[09:53] ducasse: oh that is good to know :) [09:53] i am running the server version but that doesn't matter right ? [09:54] which release is this? [09:55] 16.04 [09:56] yeah, then you definitely aren't using networkd unless you've set it up yourself. 17.10 will use it under some circumstances, but that's still not released. [09:59] ducasse: what i read is that timesyncd syncs upon change from networkd, so how does this work then ? === Attoy_ is now known as Attoy [10:01] here timesyncd syncs every time it starts up, plus on clock drift and regular intervals aiui [10:01] (17.04, but should be the same) [10:01] ntpdate isn't installed either?

I searched up servers for ntp.pool.org and that was the first i thought i would try that :) [10:30] Duality: the invalid server, nvm [10:30] anyway greate job on bodgie de it looks greate, for me even better then on solus [10:35] so i've got a good question, more of a reference kind of question really, so i want to create a server, and i'm wondering if ubuntu server or vanilla ubuntu desktop would be more recommended to use instead of say xubuntu or ubuntu studio or kubuntu or kylin ubuntu or whatever, or if pretty much they're all interchangeable [10:35] i always thought they were interchangeable until i tried using remote desktop with xubuntu as the host and found out xubuntu sucks for it [10:37] i just hate unity desktop with a passion [10:39] wook_: for a server, use server [10:41] server and desktop has different packages installed by default, server has a bunch of server-related tools etc, and no desktop by default [10:42] right i know that, but other than the default packages, everything else is pretty much the same isn't it? [10:43] well, it's the same base, yes [10:44] can i somehow get list of all instaled packages? [10:44] iAmSlow: 'apt list --installed' [10:46] ty [10:47] sorry i forgot but how to push it to text file . apt list --installed | echo file ?

Should I be concerned over this? [11:53] razorsharpfang, don't cut the red cable [11:54] Oh, I figured out what the problem was: the interface was waiting for the DHCP server to allocate it an address, except the DHCP server is offline. [11:58] Hiyas all [11:58] hi [12:02] ok so i set with sudo a specific folder to be 777 just to test [12:02] but i cannot ls with my default ubuntu user [12:03] the folder and subfolders/files owned by another user [12:04] i have also set +x on parent folder [12:06] gebbione: what's the path of the dir [12:07] EriC^^, it is a go server .... so folders are owned by go under /var/lib/go-server/artifacts/serverBackups [12:08] i need all these backups accessible [12:08] but chmod go+x /var/lib/go-server/artifacts [12:08] has made no difference [12:08] i also put -R for recursive [12:08] gebbione: what about ls -l /var/lib/go-server ? [12:09] gebbione: can your user do "cd /var/lib/go-server/artifacts/serverBackups" ? [12:09] permission denied [12:09] no it cannot [12:09] gebbione: ok, add your user to it, sudo setfacl -m u:youruser:rx /var/lib/go-server [12:11] if I do sudo setfacl -m u::rx /var/lib/go-server - would allow every user to read and execute? [12:12] i think that would give an error [12:12] if you want every user do chmod +rx /var/lib/go-server [12:12] any reason the ls was not working using chmod then? [12:13] gebbione: it needs all the parents dirs to be accessible up to it [12:13] so all of them, not just the parent [12:13] yeah [12:14] ok thank you [12:17] gebbione: no problem === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [12:38] hi all , i've been noticing last 2-3 months random freezes on my os. it appears that these freezes come only after suspending system to ram , waking up and then after some time while using chrome/firefox. any ideas ? this didnt happen ~3 months ago and then lates 2-3yrs until that time [12:39] *i mean 2-3 yrs didnt have any problem suspending to ram until ~2-3motnhs ago [12:41] i always have problems with suspending on linux..

[13:02] tarball, do a chkdisk in windows, i would not recommend the userland tools in ubuntu [13:03] oerheks, is there any chance of data loss if i'm using chkdisk ? === SimonNL_Afk is now known as SimonNL [13:03] tarball, how would we know? [13:04] there is always a chance of losing data when the fs is corrupt [13:04] a corrupt filesystem does not always lead to dataloss, this looks like just a dirty table [13:04] oerheks, i mean command doesn't directly erase something, right? [13:05] ducasse, Got it. [13:06] oerheks: i didn't say always, i say the possibility exists :) [13:07] Thanks, ducasse and oerheks i know there can be dataloss. but data is not already accessible so it can't get worse than that. [13:07] indeed, true, i hope tons of readers do a backup of their important data now [13:07] and a backup of your backup, 1 backup is so 1999 [13:07] +1, backups <3 [13:18] What terminal tools do you guys use for serial monitoring? I have a serial device connected to my raspberry pi, and I need to control it via the terminal because I am ssh'd into the pi. I need to be able to send and receive, and I had no luck with minicom. Any other tools that can do this? [13:20] screen, afaik, but minicom is generally what people use [13:28] Ok, I think I am just going to use pyserial as thats the only one I can get to work [13:31] Is there any way to locally host a VoiP switchboard and not need to subscribe to a VoiP service? [13:32] that's not really an ubuntu question, probably better places to ask [13:34] tomeaton17: btw, please don't crosspost [13:41] how can i install flashplayer for firefox? flashplugin-installer? browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash? or other? [13:43] !flash | ghost-287 [13:43] ghost-287: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:44] hmmm that is a bit outdated, there is also adobe-flash from partner repo [13:45] ok thank you [13:47] ghost-287: the package you want is called adobe-flashplugin === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [13:56] these are the partners repositories, correct? https://dpaste.de/zEOG [14:04] --resolved-- === im0nde_ is now known as im0nde [14:10] How do I configure Ubuntu to automatically mount swap file? I put it in fstab, but it didn't work. [14:12] skinux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [14:12] Hello people. I am running a live session of Lubuntu here, and I am having some problems with the IW command. I installed the kernel modules for my alfa awus036 ach and it works well. The thing is, it is detected by iwconfig, and by the ip command as well, but the iw command wont detect the device nor the interface, why can this be? [14:19] I'm experiencing issues with some windows rendering improperly. Not quite sure how to describe it, but perhaps a picture paints the words: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2017-10-10_08-17-43-KDI6sxYd.png [14:20] ^^ Notice the calculator app, which shows the background through in the formula portion of the window. [14:20] alsetema: so "iw dev" doesn't list it? what does iwconfig say about it? [14:20] Iwconfig shows all the info, everything correct, iw dev only shows the integrated wireless device of my laptoop and its interface (wlan0) [14:22] alsetema: what's the device ID (looking like [1234:5678]) of the "alfa awus036 ach" (in lsusb or lspci -nn)? hwich kernel modules are you using, where did you get them from, how do you use them? [14:23] ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter [14:23] that's for lsusb [14:23] and the drivers from github.com/gnab/rtl8812au [14:24] I'm using kernel 4.13.0-12-generic [14:25] and I just used make to compile them and make install and modprobe 8812au [14:25] It works, and can connect to networks and all, I just dont know why iw dev won't show it [14:25] cat /proc/net/wireless shows it too [14:27] oh you can even bring it up, okay. [14:27] i'd kjust try with a real installation then. [14:27] does 'cp' overwrite existing files by default or does it prompt? [14:28] wetterfuchs: overwrites unless you use cp -i [14:28] Yep, i can bring it up, ip commad works well with it [14:28] Im sorry, noob here, with real installation you mean not-live of ubuntu? or real installation of the driver or?... [14:29] alsetema: a non-live ubuntu, but one installed persistently. [14:29] Right... Unfortunately I cant try that right now but I will [14:30] I have another issue... The sound card doesnt seem to be supported [14:30] Just to be clear, im running lubuntu 17.10 because on previous versions of the kernel the wireless chip wasnt supported either (it's an intel atom cpu and a broadcom wireless chip) [14:31] Has anyone here seen this sort of window rendering problem? http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2017-10-10_08-17-43-KDI6sxYd.png [14:31] alsetema: unsupported hardware is unsupported hardware, not much we can do about it. [14:32] I see... [14:32] One last inquiry [14:32] It shows up in Calculator, and in gedit [14:32] davido_: possibly a bad / misbehaving graphics driver, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.*.log - looking for any (EE) and (WW) records. [14:32] Will i have any trouble by not being able to really use the IW command? or can I do everythig else with iwconfig and IP command? [14:33] davido_: if it's in a VM, try assigning more video RAM. [14:34] alsetema: personally i don't actuallyknow, i tend to use network-manager but i'm not sure how it managed the backend. [14:34] *manageS [14:34] i wuld just give it a try. [14:35] Network-manager works well here, havent had any issue for now [14:35] Yeah, not a VM. Also now WW nor EE entries in Xorg.failsafe.log or Xorg.0.log [14:35] s/now/no/, i mean [14:35] davido_: none at all? that's rare. [14:36] davido_: there can also be ~/.xsession-errors which may have hints on whats going wrong [14:36] That might be fruitful. [14:38]
