[00:01] bencc: did you restart sshd after that change? [00:03] Seveas: the name of the service is "sshd" and not "ssh" ? [00:03] the service name is ssh, the binary name sshd :) [00:04] Seveas: I'm restarting it with ansible: "service: name=ssh state=restarted" [00:04] will check if it is correct [00:04] thanks [00:04] that should work [00:05] only other thing that comes to mind is controlmaster connections that are lingering from before the restart [00:05] Seveas: restarting the server (not just ssh) fixed it. I'll check if the ansible handler actually run if it is doing what it should [00:06] bencc: there's no handler involved here, just the service module [00:06] Seveas: I see you know ansible :) [00:07] right. I have ansible handler that gets notify from tasks and restarts the ssh server [00:07] ah, ok [00:07] so that line was a handler and now you wonder whether the handler is actually firing when you expect it to. Gotcha. [00:08] ok. I have a server with bad locale. I'll try to call "sudo systemctl restart ssh.server" manually [00:08] ssh, not ssh.server (ssh.service would work too, but the .service is not necessary) [00:08] "ssh.service" typo [00:08] ok [00:08] yes. that did the trick [00:09] now I'll check if ansible actually call it. thanks [00:09] Hey guys, how do I know whether I am installing 64-bit or 32-bit version of wkhtmltopdf when I do 'sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf' and how can I force it to install 32 bit version?

[00:15] destinydriven: Per https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wkhtmltopdf&searchon=names&suite=xenial§ion=all the 32 bit package exists . [00:15] What I understood from what you linked to is that the 32bit package doesn't exist for 16.04 [00:15] Won't that give some package not found error? [00:16] Ahh ok [00:17] Didn't know I could so something like sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf:i386 [00:18] I will try in a bit. I messed up my VM and had to rebuild it so I have a little wait [00:18] destinydriven: ' dpkg --print-foreign-architectures ' shows 32 bit available to your system ?

[00:30] scummos: bugs.launchpad.net [00:30] bcowan: sorry I'm in all seriousness too stupid to find the button which takes me to the report form [00:32] where is it?

[03:21] KF5WYX, run "df -h" [03:21] I reckon your /boot partition is full [03:22] KF5WYX, if so follow this: https://askubuntu.com/a/430944 [03:24] ktechmidas : Odd, it tells me the partition is only 91M of which 84M used, 573K available - the numbers don't quite add up, so I'd guess you're right. I should have reserved more space. [03:24] I'd reserved > 100MB, but I guess with partition alignment it's not perfect. [03:24] KF5WYX, it will automatically reverse 10% or so [03:24] *reserve [03:25] although using it is a pain... [03:25] but anyway, I'd make /boot at least 500M [03:25] Thanks - given that this is such a fresh installation - I think it'll be easier, and cleaner if I just reinstall. [03:25] most likely, resizing /boot after install is a pain due to the partitions next to it [03:26] ktechmidas : I appreciate the help - going to reboot and reserve at least 512. [03:37] alright, quick question - where do i find a list, even if not quite exhaustive, of the various snap packages out there [03:38] CreateChange, have you tried asking in #snappy yet [03:38] nope, i will check there [03:38] thanks for the direction [03:38] np === leion1 is now known as leion [04:30] any idea from where xorg pulls the configuration for the hdmi output?

Please, can anybody make me understand the concept of these package keys used in ubuntu? [07:29] Or is their is any good resource. [07:31] pankaj: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SecureApt yet? [07:32] glitsj16: yes [07:33] glitsj16: But what is its significance even though package can be installed without being authenticated. [07:37] glitsj16: Hello [07:38] pankaj: authenticated? the checksums are used to verify that (a) correct package is downloaded and (b) the content of the package is as intended by the packager [07:38] pankaj: what exactly did you mean "without being authenticated"? === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:39] glitsj16: I read an answer in which the man was saying that whever he installs a package he gets an error that package cannot be authenticated but the package gets installed successfully. [07:40] pankaj: he's asked whether to continue or not [07:41] it's installed but he can't know if it was fully downloaded or the code was tampered with by someone [07:41] glitsj16: OK. So, It means that whevever I add a repository I get a public key to properly authenticate and install the package downloaded from that repository. Right? [07:41] EriC^^: What? [07:41] pankaj: correct, that's why adding the signing key is part of adding repos, even with PPA's [07:42] pankaj: ? [07:43] glitsj16: That is what I wanted to be made sure. OK. Can this happen that I added a repository, updated and unable to download keys? If yes then what to do and how> [07:43] EriC^^: your first question to me. [07:44] HI guys. Can anyone here offer up any help ?? I'm having some trouble getting w3m-img to work correctly with xfce4-terminal. Full details here >> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2373903&p=13696455#post13696455 [07:46] glitsj16: Hello [07:47] pankaj: it can happen yes, in that case apt will warn you about it with a GPG error mentioning the public key in question is not available [07:48] glitsj16: So, It means that I can enter it manually. [07:49] pankaj: yes, was that what you meant originally? I understand now I think [07:50] pankaj: apt has a parameter "--allow-unauthenticated" if I recall correctly [07:50] glitsj16: Yes, I was a little confused about how this key stuff go around in ubuntu. [07:51] glitsj16: yes. That is what when I was reading the blogpost I saw the answer being provided to one who had asked the question. [07:51] pankaj: I see, it's not specifically Ubuntu, all debian based distros using apt as package manager work the same way [07:52] glitsj16: Sorry, My mistake. I understand [07:52] glitsj16: Only the last thing. How to assign key maunally. Assume that the repository is added. [07:52] pankaj: no need to apologize, things are confusing sometimes :) [07:55] glitsj16: hello [07:55] pankaj: https://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt is perhaps more clear about how to do that.. look at the part telling you how to add a key to your personal keyring, and exporting that to apt's keyring [07:56] glitsj16: The document looks pretty interesting to read. OK. Thanks [07:58] pankaj: you're welcome.. there's no "one rule applies to all situations" here.. only convention, so that means you might need to hunt down the key sometimes [07:58] Before i run this, what will it do. sudo apt-get install php php-apc php-intl mariadb-server apache2. [07:59] glitsj16: ok [07:59] Kryptonian: it will install those packages [08:00] I hope the guide is up to date, and i am installing up to date stuff. My end goal is mediawiki installed [08:01] in short it says i need php, database server & a web server like apache [08:01] Kryptonian: it will install the latest versions for your release [08:05] php-apc package is not available. [08:07] which release is this? [08:08] does that mean which version of ubuntu am i in? (very new to ubuntu os) [08:08] yes [08:08] ubuntu 17.04-server-amd64 [08:08] ran some desktop installer a short while ago [08:09] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop I used that [08:09] that package does not exist in 17.04, no [08:11] i see, i could download the previous version. Any suggestions? [08:11] it's not in 16.04 either afaict [08:12] php-apcu might be the better alternative, as PHP 7 defaults to using opcache, APCu is the userland counterpart if I recall correctly [08:12] Trying to follow this guide https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation_requirements [08:12] php-apcu, will try that [08:17] Kryptonian: you might be interested in adding https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php, the page you linked mentions there's problems with PHP 7.1 === Attoy_ is now known as Attoy [08:21] glitsj16, thank you, i will take a look at that website and download stuff [08:25] Kryptonian: just follow the instructions on that page on how to add the repository, no need to download manually.. which is the advised way of dealing with PPA's in general.. note that PPA's are not officially supported here, so if you encounter a problem, you will need to contact the PPA maintainer thru launchpad [08:30] hello [08:30] What is the purpose of /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ ?

[09:42] question hmm : frist question is is it even possible ? [09:42] some say yes some sy no [09:43] Well it says its partitioned the disk until I leave the utility and then it says its not anymore. [09:43] newly_bashed: only if it's encrypted i guess [09:43] but root could still get in if they really want to [09:44] Kegz: maybe you need to press on a "write" button or something [09:44] root and decrypt easyly [09:44] Kegz: try using "gparted" [09:44] ther is some programs or kernals [09:44] Yeah in fdisk I hit w and it closes out and then nothing I've done actually writes. [09:44] like selinux [09:45] Kegz: try "sudo partprobe" [09:45] Yeah I've tried that also and it does nothing :( [09:46] Kegz: can you show the output of "sudo parted -l" ?

[09:50] Kegz: it removes the partition table [09:51] i wanted to see if you could "write" to the disk [09:51] Yeah it does that fine. [09:51] does it though [09:51] Kegz: type "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" [09:52] Yup [09:52] Kegz: press "o" [09:52] Ben64, I believe so [09:52] how many partitions do you want to make? [09:52] Just the 1 [09:52] It's going to be my OS drive. [09:52] I am planning on copying everying over to it once I can get it to partition. [09:53] Kegz: ok, after o, press "n" then keep hitting enter [09:53] Yeah, done. I've done this about 5 times lol. [09:53] Kegz: press "w" [09:53] Tried it multiple ways to see if I can get it to give me an error or something but it doesn't. [09:53] then quit and type "sudo partprobe" [09:54] Kegz: did you check "dmesg" ? [09:54] No, what is that? [09:54] Kegz: it shows errors from the kernel [09:54] I'll look in there. [09:54] (and other stuff) [09:55] Because when I do sudo fdisk -l now it says the same as it did prior to running through the partitioning. [09:55] did you partition again just now after running the dd [09:55] Kegz: can you type "sudo hexdump -C /dev/sda | head -40" and pastebin it? [09:56] yeah I partitioned it again when EriC^^ asked.

[10:07] i know the first part not the edit [10:07] machine* [10:08] theablestman: maybe don't try to change your hostname then [10:08] i changed it but i want to stay [10:08] theablestman: if you can't figure it out with the instructions above, then it may be above your ability [10:09] lol [10:09] Kegz: try sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda [10:10] i did sudo /etc/hostname terminal [10:11] say can be found [10:11] sudo vim /etc/hostname [10:12] sudo: vim: command not found [10:12] SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED [10:12] What else did you want from that command [10:13] sudo nano /etc/hostname [10:13] vi should be installed though :S [10:14] ok how i save? [10:14] ctrl c [10:14] ctrl o [10:14] Eric^^ http://paste.ubuntu.com/25719179/ [10:15] theablestman: ctrl+x to save and exit in nano [10:15] ok ty [10:15] ok done ty [10:26] Kegz: ssd is on its way out [10:27] god damn it [10:27] i think, maybe someone can confirm [10:28] I'll swap it over to my other one and run it again. [10:28] But they're both from the same era so I'd assume they're both in the same condition. [10:30] * tomreyn has not seen raw values like "1/5654548" before [10:33] from what google tells me higher results in a lot of these things are better, its a "life remaining" counter. [10:34] which models are these? [10:34] adata sp900 [10:35] i don't know whether those do but other SSDs (several models / vendors) have a self-'healing' mode which is triggered by connecting them to just power but not the data channel. keep it running that way for ~45 minutes [10:38] I'll try this over night [10:38] Its doing a long test atm [10:40] But I think I'll test the shit out of these drives and then if I can't get ubuntu to format it I'll chuck it into my windows pc and see if I can get it to partition. I just don't know if there is a windwos util to partition ext3/4 [10:41] Kegz: the line that had error correctable stuff is usually the one that means bad sectors, not sure if it's the same for ssd's or what [10:44] Im really unsure what to think or do with this now. [10:44] here's what a Samsung SSD 850 EVO gives - looks completely different (also / mostly due to different data structure revision) https://pastebin.com/raw/P9XUKX0X [10:46] Im really unsure what to think or do with this now. [10:47] 231 SSD_Life_Left 0x0013 098 098 010 Pre-fail Always - 4294967297 [10:47] This line here confuses me too. [10:51] you could try asking in ##hardware , too [11:45] What is the purpose of /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ ? Is it used by the kernel driver? [11:47] xcom169, yes. [11:48] oerheks: yes, .. hm? [11:48] oerheks: does it do any good for me if I have there a firmware? [11:49] xcom169, you should use it, as the firmware is crucial for the working of the driver. [11:49] no need to fiddle around with that. [11:50] oerheks: because when I updated my kernel to 4.13.5 on my 16.04 ubuntu [11:50] oerheks: I had warning messages that .. polaris firmware is missing [11:50] oerheks: I CPd there some firmwares, but is it good? [11:50] oerheks: I have RX 460 amd gpu [11:51] not sure you can use an older amdgpu driver with such new kernel. [11:53] i do see a lot of polaris firmwares https://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/polaris/ but i have no idea which one you should use, and if this is going to work [11:55] Hey folks [11:56] oerheks: amdgpu driver is in the kernel, right? [11:57] oerheks: it's not a different module [11:57] xcom169, you see the amdgpu bin firmware, that is needed for the kernel module. [11:58] oerheks: so this eg. is useless for me ? polaris10_me.bin ? [11:58] helo it says needs to restart to finish installing updates, so how do I do it without resstarting I used the software updaterr. [11:58] so if that 4.13 kernel does not give a fresh amdgpu, you are on your own [11:59] lfowlr, not. you need to restart. [12:00] this is not windows [12:00] idiot [12:00] grub update? [12:00]
