[00:00] any idea what to do with hubby's ubuntu? [00:01] no. [00:01] sound like an accesibility option though. [00:01] chalcedony, it's only been a few minutes; hopefully someone will answer [00:02] chalcedony: Not very clean, and might be better solutions, but kill FireFox from terminal ?? [00:02] Has anyone in here ever placed Ubuntu on a chromebook? [00:02] google ubuntu screen zoom accesibility or something. [00:02] Bashing-om, nice to see you .. i'm bringing up putty. it won't let him do anything [00:04] chalcedony: ctl+alt+t does not activate a terminal ? [00:04] let me go try [00:04] ArMedic, not without bricking it, and then again, 16 gb is a bit small [00:05] oerheks, Okay. I was thinking of giving it a try. Now, maybe not. [00:05] brought up a giant terminal [00:06] chalcedony: Let us wait and see if some one offers a better option . [00:06] well now i know his ip at least [00:10] if i used raid 0 for a single drive on my server can i use that drive in a different server (with different specs)? [00:11] compizconfig-settings-manager [00:11] compizconfig-settings-manager: command not found [00:12] sp ot [00:12] so it's not that [00:13] malkauns, if you move all drives to a new server? Sure, so long as it has mdadm tools installed. [00:15] lordcirth: but I mean with hardware raid [00:15] not software [00:15] anyone good with reverse proxy on apache2? [00:15] and just 1 single drive [00:15] malkauns, oh I see. You want to move the raid card and all drives? [00:15] malkauns, oh, you used "raid 0" mode in order to just pass the drive through? [00:15] nope not the card [00:15] yes exactly [00:16] malkauns, usually a raid card will do some custom formatting [00:16] hmmmm [00:17] even just for a single drive? [00:17] malkauns, yeah. I mean, you can try; if you don't write to it, it shouldn't hurt anything... but I wouldn't expect it to work [00:18] mmk thx [00:19] so if my server dies I can't even recover anything [00:20] unless a buy the exact same server again [00:20] wow.. we tried the windows key and scrolling, which does nothing, but the windows key brings up a menu of keyboard shortcuts only it blnks madly and i can't look at it [00:20] https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1409491.html that was from here [00:27] can i ask a general linux question ? [00:27] beshoo, there is ##linux for that [00:27] ubuntu answers might not apply to your situation [00:27] well no one helped me there [00:27] what is it? [00:28] so i think here more pro users :) [00:28] i am using FastText , a facebook text classification tool , this tool works by passing text to it via stdin " ./fasttext predict-prob model.bin - " then ENTER , and each new line will go to fasttext, well i want to run this via web server , how can i make fasttext be in memory and can receive stdin from any script , e.g php shell_exec() , some one advice me to use named pipe , but when i send [00:28] text to named pipe , fasttext print to the std and exit , and never redirect output to the named pipe [00:28] ./fasttext predict-prob model_gender.bin named_pipe [00:28] fasttext is not in our repos, sorry [00:29] its a nicely asked question, but not something people are good with here [00:29] well , yes that is why i saied it is general Linux , what i think here , all user is more advanced [00:30] beshoo, like you said, too general a question for #ubuntu [00:30] Ok since ##linux no one help ? any other option :) [00:31] beshoo, a php or some other dev channel perhaps? [00:32] https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/faqs.html [00:32] beshoo, ask in #python maybe [00:36] chalcedony: while we wait . what results ' ps aux | grep firefox ' .

K - What release and desktop is this again ? [00:43] Bashing-om, he has ubuntu 16.04 and runs ummm [00:47] #cairo-dock [00:52] chalcedony: No . the environment of the desktop . does ' dpkg -l lightdm ' come back with " ii lightdm 1.18.3-0ubun amd64 " ? [00:54] in unity, is there a keyboard shortcut that pushes the current window to the back, like middle-clicking on the title bar? [01:34] any program that have antonym functionality of pidof? i know the pid but have problem with greping the name of processes [01:35] ps [01:46] ps matching only for second column then show the processes name, Ben64 [01:51] fishcooker: what [02:13] hubby rebooted, it's at least better for now. thanks everybody :) [02:22] how do you transfer files from linux server to a windows machine using rsync?

[02:45] I am trying to copy a file from a bash script to ovewrite another file, but I do not want to overwrite the permissions or ownership. How can this done? cp copies the file with me as the owner [02:46] I mean, I dont want the original file to retain it's permissions, not take the new ones [02:47] you don't want it to retain but you don't want new? [02:48] Ben64: from the bash script, I want to copy a file that overwrites another, but I want to keep the original file's permissions [02:48] I’m lost, but maybe cp -a [02:48] nopea, man cp would seem to suggest the --no-preserve option if I've understood you correctly [02:49] bcowan: thanks.. I have a custom 000-default.conf file that I want to use and replace Ubuntu's, but it keeps taking me as the owner [02:50] cp doesn't change owner for me [02:51] Or just stat the original file and chmod after the cp [02:52] So I resolved a dependency manually... I really wanted to have a version that was not available yet for my dist. Now apt spits out that it has unresolved dependencies and won't let me install anything. How do I tell it that this particular package is resolved? [02:52] yeah, I am trying that in the bash.. didn't take the new permissions. I have to keep playing [02:52] cp doesn't change it, you must be doing something wonky [02:54] Your script may not be elevated enough to do what you want [02:55] or to say you’re not running your script with elevated enough privileges [02:55] bcowan: not sure it is that... it also install Apache2, MySQL, OpenSSH, vsftdp etc [02:55] sounds like a bad script [02:56] My scripts usually make me goto sleep :p [02:57] Ben64: not the script.... same thing happens when I type it in [02:57] type what in [02:57] sudo cp -rp 000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf [02:58] bcowan, i made a script: /usr/local/bin/sleep once which would put the system in suspend. was baffled when my system kept going into suspend for "no reason" :P [02:58] Lol [02:59] nopea: you might want to look what -rp does [02:59] What he said [03:00] Recursive preserve [03:00] yeah - I get that now [03:00] keeps the permissions of the file being copied not the one being overwritten [03:02] Drop the p [03:02] like in a cup lol [03:03] Why do you need recursive if it’s just a single file??? [03:04] I dropped -rp and it is working now [03:06] If you’re calling a single file -r is useless and -pr is pretty much -a === EvilClown is now known as EvilClown[away] [03:29] Hi folks. I'm working on the installation of an ubuntu server on an old computer and -yes I've only got a couple of dozen hours under my belt- but I can't figure out the following problem: sudo apt-get updates --- It cannot find the ca.archive.ubuntu.com. I tried to ping, host -v, change the resolv.conf nameserver to the router ip dedicated to this machine... and no success. [03:29] Elminster, easy workaround: try a different mirro [03:29] could be the current one is down for some reason [03:30] Elminster: there is also #ubuntu-mirrors for known issues about your country [03:31] Thanks. New to the system though -- which file do I modify to add a mirror^ === Amm0n| is now known as Amm0n [03:32] Elminster, system > settings > software and updates > download from [03:33] O.o I installed ubuntu SERVER :D [03:33] Other > select best server [03:33] ah! yeah that [03:33] is it /etc/apt nano sources.list? [03:34] Elminster: you doublechecked firewall/router block also? [03:34] I think yes, but you will need the alternate [03:34] I mean, I don't have a GUI [03:34] Elminster, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors perhaps select the one closest to you geographically [03:38] Well regarding router, was it correct to insert the assigned DCHP client IP of the router/machine (in that case 192.168.1.11) of the new ubuntu server machine into the resolv.conf nameserver file? [03:40] Het guys, I'm trying to set up a directory so that any new child directories have the same folder permissions [03:40] I did some research and came up with this: setfacl -R -d -m g::rwx -m o::rx files/ [03:40] It didn't seem to do what I expected and I'm open to better approaches to this problem [03:42] Elminster, see the "use mirror protocal" segment https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-select-the-fastest-apt-mirror-on-ubuntu-linux [03:44] All right - I Elminster: you may want to temporarily update /etc/resolv.conf to use something like Google's public DNS, try putting this towards the top: [03:46] nameserver 8.8.8.8 [03:46] then retry your operation [03:51] Sorry guys, turns out all I needed was this sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/example.com/public_html [03:53] Poster: yep, just tried that... no success either [03:55] Elminster: ' ping -c3 ubuntu.com ' has a positive result ? [03:55] Elminster: can you nmap your external ip to see firewall/router block perhaps? [03:56] ping: ubuntu.com: Name or service not known [03:57] lotuspsychje: I Elminster: 'ping -c3 8.8.8.8 ' ? [03:58] Elminster: nmap -PN -sV your-ip-here [03:58] lotuspsychje: are we talking about the software from nmap.org? their book is on my to-read list for this winter...

[03:59] lol [04:00] I'm learning slowly [04:00] lotuspsychje: canèt use nmap, itès not installed and i canèt reach the servers.. [04:00] Elminster: Looks like the config is now inconsustent . hardware check ' ping -c3 127.0.0.1 ' . [04:03] lotuspsychje: yes, both network devices are disabled! [04:03] Bashing-om: ping is succesful to 127.0.0.1 [04:04] Elminster: doesnt look good, shows driver= at bottom? [04:04] yep [04:06] Elminster: tryed a reboot? [04:08] upon startup:Failed to connect to http://changelos.ubuntu......... Check your internet connection or proxy settings [04:09] damn it. I can't find my spare dvi cable. [04:09] Both network devices still show as disabled [04:09] this is all Drone's fault [04:10] DrManhattan: no chitchat here plz [04:11] wow..;x [04:12] And on lshw network, where thereès usually eno0, eth0 or1, wlan0.... there's * instead. For both [04:13] lotuspsychje, sorries - is there a social or OT chan available? [04:13] some of us have no social lives [04:13] !chat | DrManhattan sure!

Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:13] thx [04:13] Elminster: ' cat /etc/network/interfaces ' verify it is simolar to this example : http://termbin.com/arl5 . [04:13] DrManhattan: there is also #ubuntu-discuss [04:13] similar* [04:14] Bashing-om: I only have the first two lines [04:15] auto lo // lface lo inet loopback [04:16] Elminster: this is a server and no GUI, no network-manager installed ? [04:18] Bashing-om: Yes it is a server, no GUI --- I have not been able to install anything, except the auto-isntall (which had me successfully install the network) [04:24] Elminster: strange that networking was not set up automagically . I do think we should make up that file . Link name and router IP : ' arp -a ' . [04:26] link name == ?? [04:30] Elminster: in my case the link name is " enp1s9 " the name eth0 has been changed in recent releases . [04:32] Elminster: " sysop@x1604:~$ arp -a >> dlinkrouter (192.168.0.1) at 6c:19:8f:eb:ca:1b [ether] on enp1s9 " . [04:32] Ah! Yes. well under lshw -c network, there is only a star (*); therefore the "links" are unnamed..? [04:33] Elminster: I think once we have the interface file configured things will start to look up . [04:36] and I enter the ip and mac addresses I find on my router setting? [04:38] Elminster: the gateway is the router IP, and the adress is your machine IP . the mac is taken care of elsewhere . [04:42] Hmmmm. didn't work. Gotta do more reading. Thanks Bashing-om. [04:42] Elminster: If your router is going to hand out DHCP ( where your ISP has not assigned you a permanent IP _ then the line will be " iface inet dhcp " . [04:45] iface is not recognized as a command and empls9: No such file or directory.. [04:45] And correct, i do not have a static ip [04:46] Elminster: enp1s9 is mine .. yours will be different ! I have 3 NICs in this box . [04:47] Yes correct ;) --- I cannot find mine! It's a * on the lshw network, and do not know anywhere else to find it? or do I create/assign it? [04:47] Elminster, "ip link" should list available interfaces [04:48] !!! Thanks Amm0n. [04:48] I get a half page full of errors [04:48] fresh install :\ [04:49] Elminster: ' ip link ls ' might be a better result ?

[04:54] No wire plugged in. [04:54] I tried the iface inet dhcp [04:54] eno1: No such file or directory [04:55] eno1 would be for a wired connection [04:55] Elminster: Sorry then for me .. I have never configured a wireless interface on a server . others here will have to advise . [04:56] (...installing switch...) [04:57] No wire plugged in....? [04:58] no [04:58] bad idea for a server eh [04:58] oh good, continue configuring that wired interface then [04:59] * oerheks leaves the troll [04:59] I'll leave it to that for now. Gotta be at work in 7 hours. I don't usually come across such helpful people..

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [07:45] the key strokes to change workspaces stop working, i've installed 16.04 LTS [07:46] i'm doing development, is a pain in the ... cause i change ws all the time .. [07:46] i've googled a lot but can't find a solution [07:47] any ideas ? [07:47] anybody have solved this before ? [07:49] any link pointing to a solution _ [07:49] ? [07:52] aledesc: It's not working despite you having configured the hotkeys for it? [07:52] I don't use Unity so I'm not familiar with how it works [07:53] yes, i went to keyboard configuration, shortcuts, and reentered the shortcuts... but still not working.. [07:53] funny thing is I've not changed anything on config lately [07:54] anything but the keystrokes [07:55] aladesc, Ctrl+Alt+→ not working? tried to use a different keyboardlayout? [07:57] gonna try [08:05] Amm0m, changed to diff kb layotu, no gains [08:05] still not working .... [08:06] even, assigned keystrokes to go directly to wss, not working neither .. [08:09] aledesc, maybe it's something with keymap, but i'm not sure how ubuntu 16.04 handles this, try "localectl status" [08:11] aledesc, this is how systemd handles keymap: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/vconsole.conf.html [08:11] i thing some daemon stop working [08:11] think, sorry .. [08:54] hi [08:55] I would like to set up a personal ftp server, but I want it to be secure [08:56] don't use ftp then [08:56] I would like to avoid sftp, because I heard that the GFC slows down ssh traffic (I'm not sure if that's true or not) [08:56] I was wondering if anyone had tips on ftps [08:56] tbh I don't know much about this kind of thing [08:57] (I know I should google this, but I'm in china and am having trouble accessing my vpn lately) [08:59] question [09:00] in what directory will i find the log of my history? [09:00] command line history? [09:00] yep [09:03] is it still ~./bash_history [09:03] type the word history into your terminal [09:05] ls -l "$HISTFILE" [09:05] bryanfrommacau, GFC? [09:06] Great Firewall of China [09:07] Sorry I should have mentioned that I'm in china [09:07] I think that they slow down ssh for some reason, rather than outright blocking it [09:07] aw, yes [09:07] thank you [09:08] But I'm not sure if that applies if my server is inside china also, so I would be willing to give it a try [09:09] https is also an option [09:10] if you want it to be secure, it should be encrypted and i don't know if there is a difference if you use something like vsftpd with ssl or ssh [09:10] I would actually mostly like to send files to the server so that I can access them when I get home, can https do that? [09:11] sure [09:12] hello folks [09:12] I'll look into vsftpd with ssl [09:12] if i wanted to check what are all the file accessed by an executable in ubuntu (in an users home) [09:12] both should be secure, right? [09:12] s/if i wanted to/i want to [09:14] is there any tool that can help achieve this ? [09:14] vijaikumar: lsof [09:14] how would https work? I thought that was only for serving files....would I have to develop a web interface? [09:15] hateball: Thanks. I will check out the tool. [09:15] vijaikumar: run with --help or read the manpage to see the different options you might want to use [09:16] Thanks hateball. Reading the manpage already :) [09:20] is SCP a good method? [09:21] bryanfrommacau: SFTP (scp) is preferable to FTPS [09:23] bryanfrommacau, interesting: http://blog.zorinaq.com/my-experience-with-the-great-firewall-of-china/ [09:23] SFTP and SCP aren't different things? [09:23] hateball: lsof -p pid helped my case :) [09:23] i hope it's not blocked [09:24] vijaikumar: :) [09:24] !sftp [09:24] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for its homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [09:26] seems it's not blocked....it's a long read, but I'll try to get through it :) [09:27] !scp [09:27]
