[00:00] linuxlove: right. I said earlier you'll likely need to do a complete reinstall to have both OSes booting from the same disk if you can't make a primary partition available [00:00] i should choose between ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04 [00:01] fpapa: would adding an entry to /etc/hosts to fake the oracle host fqdn on localhost and having a local HTTP service return some text work? [00:01] i should delete one of them for primary [00:01] servers could be down, i wonder how to check [00:02] linuxlove: that or shrink the file-systems down to minimal and use LiveISO, Try Ubuntu, and GPartEd to jiggle partitions around to make room [00:03] this is the URL that fails: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u144-b01/090f390dda5b47b9b721c7dfaa008135/jdk-8u144-linux-x64.tar.gz [00:03] fpapa: maybe they changed the version number and removed that one (8u144) [00:04] I've connected my iPod and it only shows DCIM photo folder. Given the disclaimer at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod should I try to go further to get it working with ubuntu 16.04? [00:04] GNOME Mplayer > File > Open iPod(TM) did nothing. [00:05] TJ-: that might be the case, but it doesn't work to do "add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java && apt-get update && apt-get install oracle-java8-installer". I mean by this that I don't specify that version, it is in the deb file [00:07] Sorry for connection issue; is it difficult to get an iPod 5.1.1 working with ubuntu 16.04? [00:07] fpapa, check the version manually -- http://jdk.java.net/8/ 8u162 [00:07] fpapa: oh, its fetching the Oracle package itself. I thought it was just fetching a click-through license text [00:07] or just Gnome MPlayer doesn't work as advertised? [00:07] http://download.java.net/java/jdk8u162/archive/b01/binaries/jre-8u162-ea-bin-b01-linux-x64-04_oct_2017.tar.gz [00:11] Why does the iPod get mounted twice on my desktop? [00:12] Rhythmbox isn't detecting anything, either, from this iPod. [00:13] Looks like Apple has successfully hidden everything from Ubuntu? [00:13] oerheks, thanks for the link. I will work around the issue for now by manually installing, but I think I should file a bug for the webupd8team ppa about this [00:13] looks like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod needs to be updated accordingly [00:13] !ipod [00:13] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [00:14] So this is insane, I booted my Linux live USB at Home and it worked fine, but now I tried at friends pc and it got straight into grub prompt and I can't do anything here:s [00:14] hm, ipodhowto redirects to that page. [00:14] So, I installed LXDE, but most of the settings applications have squares instead of text. [00:15] What font didn't the lubuntu-desktop package install? [00:15] It's REALLY broken looking. [00:18] TheNH813, did you choose for updates during install? [00:18] How can i make deluge startup with ubuntu 17.04 [00:18] No. [00:18] TheNH813: did you install LXDE as a package on top of an existing installation [00:18] I installed LXDE on plain Ubuntu. [00:18] Using the lubuntu-desktop package. [00:18] is this an appropriate channel for questions about preseed issues or is there a better channel for that? [00:18] Or... well.. it's a metapackage. [00:18] But you get the idea. [00:18] i'm encountering a strange and thorny preseed/grub bug. [00:19] updates would fix such issues i guess [00:19] Call me outdated, but I use Grub4DOS and manually edit the menu when necessary. [00:19] XD [00:19] TheNH813: I'd create a new user and try logging in as that, to see if this is a system-wide or existing-user-config issue [00:20] Is there a way to start deluge with ubuntu [00:20] Okay, will do. [00:20] Logging in as Guest will work for that, right? [00:20] TheNH813: should do :) [00:21] TheNH813: I usually create a new user so I can compare the (text) config files with the existing user to try to discover the setting(s) that are causing the issue [00:22] Looks perfect. [00:22] So this is insane, I booted my Linux live USB at Home and it worked fine, but now I tried at friends pc and it got straight into grub prompt and I can't do anything here:s [00:22] Sounds like a good idea, to copy the settings of a new account. [00:22] Hello! I am having an issue after a fresh install of 17.10 beta 2 to a dual boot system. My system boots to a grub prompt UNLESS I enter bios at startup and exit (without changing anything). In that case, my system boots to the normal grub boot menu. [00:22] What is the best torrent program for ubuntu that supports rss? Deluge looks dated and not that great [00:23] I should add that grub cannot see the hard disk containing my linux partition from the prompt. [00:23] Are the right filesystem modules in the grub folder? [00:24] Is it safe to erase .cache? [00:24] It will just be regenerated as necessary, right? [00:24] in your homedir [00:24] yes [00:24] TheNH813: how do I check that? [00:25] So, basically go to the grub folder from a Live USB or your main OS if you can get it to start, and look for files in grub/i386-pc. [00:26] Other then that, I'd try reinstalling GRUB completely. [00:26] drewbert: is the system a UEFI based PC? [00:26] Disable Secure Boot if it's enabled. [00:26] That very commonly causes issues for me. [00:26] drewbert, sounds like your bios is locked, on the motherboard [00:26] jumper setting [00:27] TJ-: it is UEFI [00:27] What the..... I got permission denied when trying to delete .cache. [00:27] I think that could be the problem. [00:27] drewbert: OK. and the GRUB prompt you get is it "rescue >" or just "grub >" [00:27] I'll reboot and check if secure boot is enabled, but I'd be surprised that grub boots at all if it was a secure boot issue. [00:28] TJ-: just "grub >" [00:28] TheNH813: ownership issue? maybe used sudo on files in the $USER directories? [00:28] Oh. Yeah I have done that before. [00:28] Thunar in specific uses the user's home even when run with sudo. [00:28] hi, can someone explain the difference between terminal, xterm, and uxterm. I'm wondering why we need all 3 [00:28] Which is really dumb. [00:29] drewbert: OK, that tells us GRUB's core.img loaded (grubx64.efi) but it couldn't find the GRUB directory on the boot device, so doesn't know how to draw the menu or load required device drivers [00:29] How do I add Deluge to Ubuntu startup [00:29] TJ-: I presumed as much. When I run `ls` in the grub prompt, it only sees my first hard drive. [00:29] drewbert: which suggests the motherboard's UEFI boot menu options are being messed up on a direct boot. Do you have multiple SSD/HDD and/or USB storage devices attached? [00:29] Allright, xterm is a very simple terminal, and it shouldn't be uninstalled because applications may require it. Uxterm is a fancier version of it, and terminal is the desktop envrionment's installed terminal. [00:29] I have two ssds. [00:30] okay, thank you [00:30] TJ-: ^ [00:30] I'd just leave them all installed. They take barely any space. :D [00:30] drewbert: is the bootable installation all on a single device or are required file-systems spread over the two? [00:30] How do i add an applicatio to auto start?>>>>> [00:31] BRB gonna fix my account. [00:31] TJ-: it's really disorganized. I think I have a grub on each drive === QualityAddict is now known as Guest68997 [00:32] drewbert: that could be part of the problem, although as its UEFI then it ought not to cause an issue since each device can have an EFI partition. It could be a problem if the motherboard firmware stores the path to the boot device in a generic way which doesn't uniquely identify the device to use... [00:32] Where are application installed [00:33] TJ-: interesting... I think I'll just keep experimenting then? [00:33] drewbert: ... e.g. instead of using the form /EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi it uses something like /EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi - in which case depending on which device is first in the boot order you'll be loading a different instance of GRUB [00:34] THanks for the help everyone [00:34] drewbert: try checking the firmware's device boot order if it has that option [00:35] TJ-: it does have that option. When I set it to the first drive it boots straight to windows. When I set it to the second drive, it boots to linux. When I reboot, the grub prompt appears. If I reboot and enter bios, then exit without changing anything, it boots to linux. [00:36] It's almost like my hard drive needs more time to turn on. [00:36] drewbert: what's your rootfs [00:36] drewbert: it sounds rather like a subtle bug in the motherboard's UEFI implementation [00:37] Hello! I'm running into an issue with Xenial preseed where the installer fails to install GRUB. It's a fully networked/automated install but Preseed complains that it can't find the debs for GRUB and friends, which I can't explain. It's not a hardware thing, as it's happened with every U16 install I've tried to date. [00:37] drewbert: since the way it loads the bootloader is to read it's NVRAM stored default boot option number, then reads that boot menu entry, which contains a path to the device and bootloader EFI module (grubx64.efi) which then should know where it's own /boot/grub/ partition/file-system is. But if the motherboard has swapped the disks around it may be trying on the wrong device [00:38] drewbert: it sounds like the firmware sets up a different boot order when you go into Setup first which sets things correctly for your configuration, but a direct boot to default entry doesn't [00:38] drewbert: are you able to test booting with only the Linux device connected? [00:39] Eek, I can try that. [00:40] hello room, are there any really savvy server admins avail. i want to pic you brain about how to achieve a goal. long story short, im looking to build an PXE imaging server that can be relatively easy to use, and make the images captured sync across 3 sites. ubuntu will be the os, fog project for imaging and ownclowd for the file sync. thoughts? [00:40] TJ-: then wouldn't that mean the device in the NVRAM entry is wrong? [00:41] urgodfather, ltsp project https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP [00:42] jerichowasahoax: it depends on how the firmware is storing the path as I said earlier. If it's a generic path based on device order then I can imagine this happening [00:42] jerichowasahoax: but if the path is device-ID based then we ought to be able to rule that out. But I'd like to see the efibootmgr output to show the actualy raw menu entries. [00:42] oerheks what is ltsp? [00:43] TJ-: if the motherboard is storing devices by boot order then i'd say "never buy from that manufacturer again" [00:44] Here's my efibootmgr output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25762762/ [00:47] TJ-: Here's my verbose efibootmgr output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25762779/ [00:47] jerichowasahoax: it wouldn't surprise me, I've seen so many awful implementations. Remember the problems with some Lenovo models not being able to wipe NVRAM when it was more than 50% full which was showing up as "Linux bricks UEFI systems" [00:48] It's fixed. [00:48] LXDE looks normal now. [00:49] drewbert: It's a while since I did any UEFI bootmenu hacking but the "HD(1,GPT,..." suggests those paths are saying "find this on Disk 1" rather than "find this on the disk with serial-number X" [00:49] TheNH813: :) [00:49] I just backed up what I wanted and typed "sudo rm -rf .*" in my home directory to nuke all the configs. [00:49] TheNH813: harsh! [00:49] Then copied ones from a new account and changed permissions and ownership. [00:50] Reminds me of the time the kernel packages got corrupted. [00:50] I had to apt-get purge all kernels, install the linux-image and linux-firmware packages and hope the power didnt' fail. lol [00:51] LXDE is so much nicer then XFCE in terms of speed. [00:51] ONly problem is I don't know how to edit keybinds. [00:51] drewbert: so I'm suspecting the bug is in the way the firmware is ordering the disks since you said you thought you had GRUB installed on both. If you can confirm that it would tend to lend weight to the hypothesis [00:52] TheNH813: I find the opposite actualy [00:52] Really? That's unusual. [00:52] Perhaps I have too many background services in the startup then. [00:53] Where are keybind settings in lxde? I can't find them under keyboard and mouse. [00:53] LTSP is a thin client environment... [00:53] i work for an agency that sells/maintains pc's for customers. being that we have multiple sites, there's an inconsistancy in images deployed to the pc's [00:53] so, to replace ghost b/c we all know how old ghost is... i need something that will do PXE and will work with UEFI [00:54] Perhaps making a post on the Ubuntu Forums would be a good idea. [00:54] IPXE will do that [00:54] urgodfather: MAAS [00:55] urgodfather: MAAS can install images and configure them using cloud-init. You could then let them loose from MAAS. It's rather fast because it does bare minimum. [00:55] Am I insane.... or are there no keyboard shortcut settings on here? [00:56] maybe so.... i know this isnt the best place and of course ubuntu related topics would take priority... id be ok if someone wants to pm me to avoid clogging up the chat [00:56] TJ-: have you ever heard reports of preseed failing to install GRUB? [00:56] urgodfather: MAAS is a Canonical/Ubuntu project so on topic [00:56] klausfiend: I think so, but it was a long time ago. [00:57] any suggestions for how to debug something like that? [00:57] my U14 installs are smooth like glass [00:57] but U16 gets stuck complaining that it can't fetch grub-pc et al from repos it uses successfully for every other package [00:58] what is maas [00:58] it's probably something i've butchered in the preseed but i'm not sure where to start tweaking to test [00:58] klausfiend: are you using an apt cache of any kind? [00:58] urgodfather: metal-as-a-service [00:58] TJ-: no, hitting us.archive.ubuntu.com direct [00:59] klausfiend: in what way is it complaining? Has network connectivity but gets a 404? loses network whilst working? [00:59] im reading that now. cliffs notes.. short and sweet. how can it do what i need? [00:59] it looks like 404s, but if i chroot into /target and apt-get install, it's just fine [00:59] i ran apt-install with -x and i get an error code back from the job it tries to run, but i have no idea what that code suggests [01:00] i can re-run the install and get some screenshots/text, if you give me ~5 mins [01:00] it's supposed to be fully automated, but of course, this step ruins that :-) [01:03] klausfiend: when you chroot in, do you add external bind mounts to things like /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf ? Wondering if name resolution is an issue [01:03] i don't do anything explicit like that [01:03] i think bind mounts get made by preseed, but i know i'm not adding any [01:04] klausfiend: OK, so it does have internal resolving ability then. I was wwondering if that failed to get setup somehow [01:04] yeah, it's really mystifying [01:04] since the other stuff that gets installed doesn't throw any kind of connectivity error [01:05] maybe it's not a fetch error but an extract/configure issue? [01:05] maybe? how would i test that? [01:06] i'm tempted to just roll up the netinstall-image files i'm using as they're probably a bit old and maybe it's an old bug or interaction [01:06] hmmm... well, if the package isn't fully configured dpkg ought to be able to tell you, or maybe "apt-get -f install" would then force incomplete jobs to run, which would be the easy way to know [01:06] * klausfiend nods [01:07] in theory nothing should be left unconfigured. if something is, you've got closer to figuring it out [01:07] let me see what i can see when this thing coughs again [01:07] true [01:07] also check in the /var/log/apt/term.log area [01:07] in /target or the preseed env? [01:07] In /target/var/log/apt/ [01:08] k [01:08] it's debootstrapping now [01:08] it might indicate any actual package errors that were returned [01:11] ok have a server with a raid1 array and lvm on it that is strictly for data on file server, would like to encrypt the raid volume, whats the best approach? [01:11] Fretegi: contains existing data? [01:12] TJ-, no sir. just a freshly built xfs fs [01:12] dm-crypt? [01:12] need it to mount be available automatically upon boot [01:13] Fretegi: I'd suggest LVM > LUKS/dm-crypt > xfs [01:13] Fretegi: but you can do DISK > LUKS > LVM > ... [01:13] Fretegi: if you want the entire VG encrypted then the latter would be easier [01:13] Fretegi: if you want different keys for different LVs then the former [01:13] TJ-, at the moment i have /dev/md0 >> LVM >> XFS [01:13] here we are [01:14] TJ-, nope, the whole array will just be one big lvm [01:14] Fretegi: a single VG and you want the entire thing encrypted? [01:14] TJ-, that would be great. the whole thing will be data in some sense, seperate array from os etc [01:14] TJ-: the error message in the console says "in-target: E: failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/os-prober_1.70ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'" [01:15] Fretegi: then I'd suggest DISKS > MDADM > LUKS > LVM ... [01:16] klausfiend: so, DNS resolver issue in the target . has it already managed to resolve hostnames/ fetch some packages at that point? [01:16] yeah, it's got everything but grub at that point [01:16] i did dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii and i don't see any unconfigured/broken packages [01:17] TJ-, k i can break down the cuirrent lvm no big deal. so is there a good guide on the dm-crypt fr that. also im sure i have to have the key somewhere and im sure there is an easy way to set that up so that the volumes mount and are avialable following boot right? [01:17] klausfiend: so, is there some name resolver action/refresh going on in parallel ? [01:18] Fretegi: the key storage is your 'key' issue :) is it going to be external hardware, or a passphrase typed on boot? [01:18] TJ-imi still not understanding how maas will do what i need [01:19] TJ-, wont have access to the machine so needs to just boot up, fire up the array, mount the encrypted volumes and be ready with no user intervention [01:19] Fretegi: if you want to use a key-file you've got to fight systemd-cryptsetup because it doesn't support that [01:19] TJ-, ha, another issue with systemd huh ;) [01:19] TJ-: that sounds like what might be happening … looking … [01:19] Fretegi: then you're going to have some problems I'm afraid [01:20] TJ-, well suppose i could have a key on a usb drive, [01:20] Fretegi: I've been recently working on ripping out systemd-cryptsetup and replacing it with the tried and tested cryptsetup initramfs/init services that support key-files. I've used them since 2008 and systemd severly broke it [01:21] TJ-, gotcha... so that would allow the the initramfs to load the keys and unlock the volumes [01:21] ? [01:21] Fretegi: but if the init system is systemd it only supports typed passphrases [01:22] Fretegi: for data volumes the key doesn't need to be available until after the main init system starts (unlike unlocking rootfs and/or /boot/ ) [01:23] Fretegi: the workaround, as I said, is to rip out systemd-cryptsetup and replace it with a custom key-script and key device/file called by the original cryptsetup init scripts [01:24] TJ-, and thats my case... the entire VG is nothing but a data array for file serving and other server type stuff [01:24] Fretegi: as long as the key device is only plugged in during a boot it'll be secure if someone walks off with a powered off system. [01:26] TJ-, right. not a very enterprise environment. i can make arrangements for someone to plug in a usb prior to boot and not leave it in. no worries there. just not always going to be someone around with proper admin rights to ssh into the thing and start firing up services and maaging passphrases etc [01:27] TJ-: seems to be an interaction between our in-house package of unbound [01:27] the package gets installed but the service doesn't start, so the resolver in /target is helpless [01:27] whelp, that blows. [01:27] klausfiend: at least you know why [01:27] yep. [01:28] now the fun part of getting the team that built it to take automated provisioning into account :-) [01:28] Fretegi: you'd need to disable "lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup" and it's associated generator, and then enable the cryptsetup package's sysvinit scripts and config [01:28] … or just working around its stupidity [01:28] klausfiend: could you do a late install of that and hard-code a temporary resolver? [01:29] i thought i was, tbh [01:29] klausfiend: or even hard-code the archive hostname into /etc/hosts temporarily [01:29] it's loaded as part of d-i pkgsel/include [01:30] I've a large bash script that I use to install a piece of code on an ubuntu box. Is there an easy way to convert it to a .deb file? [01:31] let me see what happens if i don't try to install it. [01:31] codepython777: you may want to check out a ruby gem called 'fpm' [01:31] TJ-, thank you for the help sir [01:32] if you pack your script up sanely, it can help with the fun that sometimes is packaging [01:33] klausfiend: thanks! Is there something similar in python? [01:33] codepython7771: creating a basic deb package is relatively straightforward [01:33] not afaik but it's a standalone command [01:34] so you can just do something like 'fpm -s dir -t deb ' [01:34] it's way more useful than something like alien [01:34] klausfiend: TJ-: My code is pretty extensive. It compiles and installs redis, opencv, ... tons of other packages from source, before I install my own code. [01:34] if you're using something like Salt or Puppet, that's where that should live [01:35] if you're not, you should maybe think about it hahaha :-) [01:35] klausfiend: If I had to use salt/puppet, probably I'll use ansible [01:35] but .deb is nicer I thought for ubuntu, than using ansible. [01:37] codepython7771: why from source? aren't there versions in the archives suitable? [01:38] TJ-: I'm using nightly versions of some of these code bases. Some relatively new versions. Some of my own modifications. [01:38] TJ-: I currently install everything in /opt and then go from there. I'd like that to be done in .deb file for example [01:41] codepython7771: you mean build the sources then install them into a .deb file? [01:41] TJ-: I want to be able to distribute my package to users. So that I can update the code remotely. Isn't deb files the way to go for that? [01:42] codepython7771: in that case I'd add debian/ packaging to each upstream project, plus my own package containing the bash script(s), and set that package to depend on the packages-versions of all the ones that were built. [01:44] codepython7771: in most cases you could simply copy the debian/ packaging from the latest Ubuntu package in the development archive, add your own custom version number to it, and build the package the debian way. [01:44] I see [01:45] is there a tool that helps with this? Perhaps a good tutorial to do this? [01:45] codepython7771: good all round intro/info is at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ [01:47] codepython7771: in your case you have existing mainline code which you just need to graft the latest existing debian/ packaging directory into, bump the version number/add your own version tag, and build the Debian/Ubuntu way to get a .deb [01:47] codepython7771: versioning is done in debian/changelog, by adding a new entry to the start of the file. "dch -i" is generally used to increment it but you need something a little more custom due to what you're doing [01:49] I have a bunch of updates on multiple projects. I will start by trying to create a PPA that can serve the latest redis for instance, then go from there? [01:52] codepython7771: that sounds like a good plan. Also check to see if someone else hasn't already packaged the versions you want or does a similar thing [01:53] codepython7771: if you really need daily updates I think you'll be doing it all on your own though. [01:54] sounds unusual if that's being pushed out to production for customer use though [02:00] hi [02:00] how do i update ubuntu to patch the latest wpa2 vulnerability? [02:04] !info info wpa-supplicant [02:04] 'wpa-supplicant' is not a valid distribution: artful, artful-backports, artful-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-proposed, unstable, utopic, utopic-backports, utopic-proposed, vivid, vivid-backports, vivid-proposed, wily, wily-backports, wily-proposed, xenial, xenial-backports, xenial-proposed, yakkety, yakkety-backpor [02:04] !info wpa-supplicant [02:04] Package wpa-supplicant does not exist in zesty [02:04] !info wpa_supplicant [02:04] Package wpa_supplicant does not exist in zesty [02:05] oke https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3455-1/ [02:06] thanks [02:06] for android do you know how? [02:08] nope, sure there is info to find [02:09] dingir_: android updates won't be until the next round of security updates on Nov. 6 [02:10] That's when GOOGLE will push the update. Then it goes to your device manufacturer, then your carrier. [02:10] fucking shit [02:10] Language! [02:10] sorry [02:10] it's going to be awhile for Android. What version are you on? [02:10] (this is off-topic but the channels pretty dead) [02:10] ok so even if my router is patched, my phone could still be hacked? [02:10] one sec lemme look [02:11] 5.0.1 [02:11] it's not very likely. Android 6.0 is the most vulnerable. I don't know of any working scripts in the wild that take advantage of the vulnerability yet. [02:11] interesting [02:12] If you are really, truly worried then you can use an always-on VPN service or try out a different ROM. I know LineageOS has been patched. [02:12] install lineageos on my phone? [02:12] You'd have to root the device and flash the rom for it, yes. Not recommended if you haven't done it before. [02:13] ok thanks a lot [02:13] LineageOS is the continuation of CyanogenMod. It's still Android, just a different "flavor". [02:13] might just wait for the fix november 6 [02:13] so sad it takes that long [02:13] Should be safe. [02:13] thanks again [02:13] ill update my ubunto when i get gome [02:14] ubuntu [02:14] idk why Google didn't push the update in October. Maybe they weren't notified during the 5 month window, but that would be a huge oversight by the researchers... [02:14] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [02:14] money make people dont care [02:14] money make people want to make more money by not alienating their entire customer with huge security holes. but c'est la vie [02:15] true [02:29] good morning to all [02:30] artful release party has opened for those who want [02:30] !party [02:30] Please remember that #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #xubuntu, #edubuntu, and #lubuntu are support channels.

Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [02:35] is this a long term support [02:35] dingir_: no its non-lts [02:35] why should i install 17.10? [02:35] im on 16.something [02:35] dingir_: but still its a big change release with gnome and wayland by default [02:36] interesting [02:36] ill try it [02:36] dingir_: its your system and you have the freedom of choice [02:36] it will come with the latest wpa patch hopefully [02:37] dingir_: wich patch are you talking about [02:38] https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3455-1/ [02:38] dingir_: patches already in [02:39] niccee [02:40] so wayland is a display server === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [02:40] why the switch, xorg is not doing it anymore? [02:45] dingir_: an updated system should always give you latest usn security patches [02:45] once I install the dropbox client on ubuntu, is there a way to use the commandline to supply it login and password of the account? === KindTwo is now known as KindOne === madman_ is now known as madmangunr [03:31] codepython7771: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/linux-commands [03:40] lotuspsychje: note that - that command set does not allow you to login from cli [04:16] can someone give me a hand with samba? my share is not presenting [04:31] !samba | Fretegi [04:31] Fretegi: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba.html [04:32] ubottu, thank you. so i have a built smb.conf but the thing just is not visible on my network, workgroups match, no errors with testparm... looking into firewall issues now [04:32] Fretegi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:34] kinda random question, I have a folder full of files with numerical prefixes (3456 - file name, 8893 - file name, etc) is there a way can batch rename them to remove the numerical prefix? [04:44] haha got it [04:55] hi [04:55] hi [04:56] just wondering if anyone knows why webmin wont load its webpage [04:57] runing Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS [04:57] loaded right up for me on the desktop version [04:58] i had it working then the wm failed and i had to fresh install [04:58] ok i sorted it out [04:59] ended up being a firewall issue on my client end... catch is adding samba to the allow list is not fixing it. is there a way to see what port is the problem so i can open it up [05:00] i use advance port scanner on my windows pc [05:02] dmesg looks as though its reporting ufw blocked port udp 137, but that is listed as accepted on ufw... [05:03] ports 139 and 445 tcp as labeled as samba ports for me [05:05] i instaled ubuntu manually and left about 300 free space. I am able to install windows right? with the free space [05:06] GODOFMINECRAFT4, yea me too.. so apparently there is a bug or something with UFW... i enabled like 2 hours ago Samba as allowed.. verified again and again and again. i manually added those ports for kicks, all works just peachy now [05:07] magkneetoe: yeah 300gb is enough [05:07] phew EriC^^ thx [05:12] take that back lol, ufw still fighting it [05:14] lol [05:15] im trying to get my ubuntu server vm to stop bloody failing [05:17] so were both wrestling with servers ha.. im stumped, i dont see why this thing is refusing connections and nothing in logs... [05:18] im trying to get mine set up as a mc server [05:19] time to fresh install again [05:19] hello all [05:19] hi [05:19] good luck pal [05:19] evening [05:19] how can one upgrade mysql 5.5.x to 5.6.x on 14.04 lts ? [05:20] apt-get? [05:20] I mean how with apt-get ? [05:20] is a noob at linux btw [05:20] Do I have to change repos' or do something else ? [05:20] google is your friend [05:26] ah ha... what aboiut destination ports? [05:27] ok. apt-cache shows mysql 5.6.16 is possible on 14.04 lts [05:27] this is before I updated apt-get, aptitude [05:31] Haris, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-14-04 [05:34] GODOFMINECRAFT4, ok.... so fixed mine with a dirty hack... i just added a rule to allow all traffic from my server's IP and it all works swimming.. apparently the ports themselves werent enough. ufw log clearly shows packets from ports i accepted and confirmed as such being dropped. just FYI if you run into similar issues [05:35] Haris: you can see the available package versions in https://packages.ubuntu.com/mysql , mysql in trusty is 5.5.57 [05:43] im out folks, have a good one [05:49] where can I find the header file defining the types like SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM, etc.? I've searched /usr/include and /usr/src/linux-headers... with no luck :[ [05:50] Quick question: Are there any official disc labels for the various Ubuntu releases? [05:51] 5.6.33-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 is in security for 14.04 lts ? [05:51] kg mgmt system is pretty complex [05:52] pkg+ [05:52] Is there a PPA for haskell stack? [05:53] nvm found it [05:53] !ppa | xuanrui [05:53] xuanrui: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[05:54] But the exact problem is, it's hard to search :-( [05:54] update your wfasupplicant package [05:55] ok. [05:56] or cut all your wireless cables, they won't be able to get you then :) [05:56] Abhijit: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/2.4-0ubuntu6.2 [05:57] Typo: it's wpasupplicant [05:57] oh my bad, thanks! [05:57] eventually used pinning and got haskell-stack package from artful... [06:00]
