| Lucky-MF | heys. | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Lucky-MF | running ubuntu as main OS and have a pen drive that has a kali live part as well as another part on same usb with windows.iso | 00:06 |
| Lucky-MF | anyone know how i can get the windows.iso to boot? | 00:06 |
| TheNH813 | Yeah, you'l have to extract it. Unetbootin can help. | 00:06 |
| TheNH813 | Unless you patch a ramdisk driver into the boot.wim file inside the ,iso so windows can run in a ramdisk. | 00:07 |
| TheNH813 | But that's a real pain. I know from experience. | 00:07 |
| Lucky-MF | yeah....this bootloader business is proving to be tricky for me. | 00:09 |
| FishPencil | Why is sendmail not a dependency for php-mail? | 00:10 |
| Lucky-MF | i will give this unetbootin thing a go. what i had done was dd wrote kali linux to it, then made an encrypted persistent part and then made the ntfs part and dd wrote the windows iso to it. | 00:10 |
| Lucky-MF | i will search both things you mentioned. thanks | 00:11 |
| TheNH813 | Well, you just need to extract the files from the Windows .iso, DDing it isn't necessary. But the bootmgr file has to be on the root of the first partition if I remember correctly. | 00:11 |
| TheNH813 | I can find some specific documentation to add menu entries manually, if you give me a few minutes. | 00:12 |
| oerheks | booting windows.iso with grub? | 00:12 |
| TheNH813 | Grub4dos works best IMO. | 00:13 |
| oerheks | not from the .iso file, you need to unpack iirc | 00:14 |
| TheNH813 | Yeah. | 00:14 |
| Lucky-MF | ok | 00:14 |
| TheNH813 | Copy the bootmgr file, sources and boot folders out of the ISO to the drive, and add the following entry to Grub4DOS: | 00:14 |
| TheNH813 | Title Install Windows | 00:14 |
| TheNH813 | chainloader /bootmgr | 00:14 |
| TheNH813 | Similar for any other bootloader, just boot the /bootmgr file as a kernel with the flash drive as the root partition. | 00:15 |
| TheNH813 | I'v done it before. | 00:16 |
| Lucky-MF | ok. also this question then | 00:16 |
| Lucky-MF | let's suppose im a moron | 00:16 |
| oerheks | ... no | 00:16 |
| Lucky-MF | and i have this partition ive set aside on my main drive for windows to go on....and ive got the USB that i mentioned | 00:16 |
| Lucky-MF | would it be easier for me to just erase the usb and redo it with only windows, so i can install that crap on here | 00:17 |
| Lucky-MF | and then just make another kali live if i want after? | 00:17 |
| TheNH813 | That's an option. | 00:17 |
| Lucky-MF | i just wanna play some league of legends *-* | 00:17 |
| TheNH813 | I'm pretty certain LoL work in PlayOnLinux. | 00:17 |
| Lucky-MF | wwwuuuuttt is that??? | 00:17 |
| Lucky-MF | *searching* | 00:17 |
| TheNH813 | It's a frontend to wine that performs automatic configuration for software to make it work. | 00:18 |
| TheNH813 | Wine lets windows software run on Linux. Not all of it, but a decent amount. | 00:18 |
| Lucky-MF | yeah, i knew of wine. i just didnt give it a second thought cause i figured that wouldnt suffice. damn.... | 00:19 |
| Lucky-MF | im checking on that for real. thats the good 411. ty | 00:20 |
| oerheks | wine on kali-live? LoLz | 00:20 |
| Lucky-MF | no no. im on ubuntu | 00:20 |
| Lucky-MF | kali live is just on the usb | 00:20 |
| TheNH813 | It appears to be in the supported applications. | 00:22 |
| TheNH813 | https://s6.postimg.org/e3hm9p3r5/Screenshot_from_2017-12-16_18-19-42.png | 00:22 |
| Lucky-MF | yessir. i need to change my pants now | 00:22 |
| TheNH813 | XD | 00:22 |
| TheNH813 | You'l have to manually download and select the installer file. | 00:23 |
| TheNH813 | I'm testing it. | 00:24 |
| TheNH813 | Lucky-MF: Well, it appears the script isn't completely functional with the new launcher. It installed successfully but wouldn't launch. | 00:37 |
| TheNH813 | I'm going to try a few different settings. | 00:38 |
| Lucky-MF | yeah i had briefly noticed some comments about stuff like that | 00:38 |
| Lucky-MF | i just figured, hey....its wine and stuff so you'll have that | 00:38 |
| TheNH813 | I think I know which library it needs. | 00:41 |
| Lucky-MF | are you talking about playonlinux or LoL? | 00:41 |
| TheNH813 | It's a specific file from the Microsoft VistualC++ runtime. | 00:41 |
| oerheks | wine & pol has its own support channel | 00:42 |
| oerheks | !wine | 00:42 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 00:42 |
| TheNH813 | Allright. | 00:42 |
| Lucky-MF | ok. thanks again | 00:42 |
| pennTeller | Guys if I place this command in crontab it wont run sudo /etc/init.d/odoo-server start | 00:58 |
| pennTeller | anybody know why? | 00:58 |
| pennTeller | this is the sudo crontab | 00:58 |
| TheNH813 | You don't need the sudo command if it's in the system crontab. | 00:59 |
| TheNH813 | Just put /etc/init.d/odoo-server start in /etc/crontab | 00:59 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, yes I know that I didnt mean to post sudo here | 00:59 |
| TheNH813 | Okay. | 00:59 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, for some reason the server only starts if I manually input the command | 00:59 |
| TheNH813 | That is strange. | 01:00 |
| TheNH813 | Does it generate any logs when it fails? | 01:00 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, let me look, one sec | 01:02 |
| oerheks | for odoo on 16.04 you would need a service file to start the service properly, https://linode.com/docs/websites/cms/install-odoo-10-on-ubuntu-16-04/ | 01:04 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I get this, but it's not an error: Dec 16 18:04:19 server CRON[989]: (root) CMD (/etc/init.d/odoo-server start) | 01:05 |
| TheNH813 | pennTeller: Take a look at oerheks advice. | 01:07 |
| pennTeller | oerheks, thank you | 01:07 |
| TheNH813 | Specifically the create a service section. | 01:07 |
| pennTeller | oerheks, do you have any tips on whitelabling odoo? | 01:07 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, will do thanks | 01:07 |
| delt | Hello everyone | 01:45 |
| TheNH813 | Hello | 01:45 |
| delt | just a small question | 01:45 |
| TheNH813 | Yes, Go ahead. | 01:45 |
| delt | i'm switching my server to a vps that's running ubuntu | 01:45 |
| delt | on this vhost (ubuntu) when i do: sudo bash -l to gain a root shell, the $HOME env. variable still points to my user's home, ie. /home/user instead of /root | 01:46 |
| TheNH813 | That's normal, I believe. | 01:46 |
| TheNH813 | Use sudo su to login as root. | 01:46 |
| delt | is it better to do su - instead of sudo bash -l ? | 01:46 |
| delt | ie. to get a shell where $HOME points to root account's actual home, and not the (normal) user's home? | 01:47 |
| TheNH813 | The root account has no set password, su - won't work. | 01:47 |
| TheNH813 | Use sudo su to login as root, | 01:47 |
| TheNH813 | Then ~ will point to /root | 01:47 |
| delt | uhh.... no set passord? | 01:47 |
| TheNH813 | I'l show you. | 01:47 |
| TheNH813 | No, no password is set for security reasons. | 01:48 |
| === jstein_ is now known as jstein | ||
| delt | uh dude.. this has been basic unix for decades... only changed slightly in implementation by 'shadow' | 01:49 |
| TheNH813 | I'l send a screenshto link in a second | 01:50 |
| delt | TheNH813: so what do i type when i type "su" and prompted for a password? | 01:50 |
| delt | uh...ok | 01:50 |
| Flannel | delt: The root account is locked, it has a password that is marked as invalid. When using sudo, you use your own user password. | 01:50 |
| oerheks | maybe that vps is properly jailed to $HOME | 01:51 |
| Flannel | (The password hash has a "!" in it, which isn't character that will ever be generated by the hash function, ergo it'll never match) | 01:51 |
| delt | uhhhh.... | 01:53 |
| delt | [pts/0][root@172]:~# grep '!' /etc/shadow | grep -i root | 01:53 |
| delt | [pts/0][root@172]:~# | 01:53 |
| delt | [pts/0][root@172]:~# grep '!' /etc/passwd | grep -i root | 01:53 |
| delt | [pts/0][root@172]:~# | 01:53 |
| marijuana | show root for me | 01:54 |
| TheNH813 | You don't type su to login as root. | 01:54 |
| marijuana | root:!:..... | 01:54 |
| TheNH813 | Use sudo su or sudo -i | 01:54 |
| Flannel | delt: Well, if you've set a root password, this won't be the case anymore. But I'm pretty sure if you lock it again, it just prepends a bang to the hash. | 01:54 |
| TheNH813 | https://s6.postimg.org/9vmu1da5t/Screenshot_from_2017-12-16_19-50-07.png | 01:55 |
| Flannel | delt: Regardless of the mechanism, the root account is locked. It's possible the implementation of the mechanism has changed and I'm not aware. | 01:55 |
| TheNH813 | See how it only changes the environment variable of ~ ($HOME) when you log into a full root prompt? | 01:55 |
| delt | whoa.. what has canonical done to linux???? :O | 01:55 |
| TheNH813 | Pretty much any Debian based distro is like that. | 01:56 |
| delt | TheNH813: i can't see with all those smudges over the screenshot | 01:56 |
| delt | and no, linux mint isn't | 01:56 |
| marijuana | mine != boon2 | 01:56 |
| marijuana | mint* | 01:56 |
| TheNH813 | Well, that's my hostname. I don't want it in the screenshot. | 01:56 |
| TheNH813 | XD | 01:56 |
| delt | ok, thanks a lot | 01:56 |
| CarlFK | ubuntu-desktop, open term, ssh to a debian box, cat a file, I can drag my mouse over text, right click, "copy" (also x clip works, but hard to demo) - still sshed to debian, vim a file, now tying use the mouse to select, I think it telling vim to select text, but it doesn | 01:57 |
| TheNH813 | It makes it easier for admins to have root access. That way you don't need to give anyone a "root" password. Just give them sudo and admin privilages. They use their own password to access a root shell. | 01:57 |
| TheNH813 | The security benefit is nobody needs to share the root password. | 01:57 |
| CarlFK | doesn't let me copy it to my local ubuntu clipboad. how do I turn that off? | 01:57 |
| Flannel | TheNH813: He seems to have left. | 01:58 |
| TheNH813 | Ah. | 01:58 |
| TheNH813 | Use the middle mouse button to paste. | 01:58 |
| TheNH813 | Any highlighted text can be pasted elsewhere by clicking the scroll wheel. | 01:58 |
| TheNH813 | It's actually a seperate clipboard in and of itself. | 01:58 |
| CarlFK | TheNH813: I can't do that if it doesn't let me select | 01:59 |
| TheNH813 | You can't click and drag over characters to highlight them? | 02:00 |
| CarlFK | yes at the pormpt, no when I run vim | 02:00 |
| TheNH813 | What terminal are you using? | 02:01 |
| CarlFK | GNOME Terminal 3.18.3 | 02:01 |
| CarlFK | Using VTE version 0.42.5 +GNUTLS (pasted using middle click) | 02:01 |
| CarlFK | from the about dialg. | 02:02 |
| TheNH813 | Hm.... | 02:02 |
| TheNH813 | Let me test that. | 02:02 |
| CarlFK | well, you need a box that eats your mouse | 02:03 |
| TheNH813 | Oh, I think apt is telling me to run autoremove. I have like 10 old kernels. Woops. | 02:04 |
| TheNH813 | Copying text seems to work in vim over ssh on gnome-terminal. | 02:05 |
| CarlFK | if you want to create such a monster, I happen to have just the thing: https://github.com/CarlFK/video-stack-deploy/tree/nbpy/scripts ./mk_usb_installer.sh sdc configs/voctotest.cfg | 02:06 |
| CarlFK | TheNH813: what disto did you ssh to? | 02:07 |
| disgruntledanon | back and more confused than ever, now that I've actually gotten this OS installed. | 02:15 |
| disgruntledanon | I've tried to download six different apps, and it isn't working. Bitcoin for instance, I get it in the store, then install, and...it's nowhere on the computer. | 02:16 |
| disgruntledanon | Bitcoin is in my "Installed" column in Ubuntu Software, but it's not anywhere in my computer. | 02:18 |
| marijuana | which bitcoin | 02:19 |
| marijuana | `' | 02:19 |
| disgruntledanon | Core. | 02:19 |
| marijuana | no, type the command "which bitcoin" | 02:19 |
| disgruntledanon | Ubuntu Software just calls it "bitcoin" but it's supposed to be Bitcoin Core. | 02:19 |
| CarlFK | marijuana: I suspect disgruntledanon isn't at a prompt | 02:20 |
| disgruntledanon | at what? | 02:20 |
| marijuana | at a terminal, if you can get to it | 02:21 |
| CarlFK | disgruntledanon: prompt, shell, terminal window. umm, I hit ctrl-alt-t to open it. | 02:21 |
| disgruntledanon | oh, the command prompt. No, I have been trying to use Ubuntu Software for these downloads - in fact, installing apps on the command terminal's been a chore for me so far, and most apps with linux versions don't seem to give the command. | 02:22 |
| CarlFK | hit super button, type term - the icon is a black screen with white >_ | 02:22 |
| marijuana | which version of ubuntu are you running btw? | 02:23 |
| CarlFK | you can install however you like, but investigating is done easier at the prompt | 02:23 |
| disgruntledanon | 14.06 | 02:23 |
| disgruntledanon | or, wait | 02:23 |
| disgruntledanon | 16.04, I'm an idiot | 02:23 |
| marijuana | i dont seem to have any package called 'bitcoin' in my repos. perhaps you installed libbitcoin? | 02:24 |
| marijuana | unless software center has its own repos or something.. that may be.. | 02:25 |
| disgruntledanon | I don't know, man, I just want my stupid apps in Ubuntu and it's been like four hours. | 02:25 |
| disgruntledanon | If this keeps up I might just have to learn how to put win10 back on here, virus as it is.. | 02:26 |
| marijuana | please hold.. installing software center atm.. | 02:26 |
| disgruntledanon | I searched on Ubuntu Software for bitcoin, first result, installed, and the launch button is clickable, but it's not doing anythin | 02:27 |
| disgruntledanon | That's all I can tell you with what I know (see: goose egg) about Linux. | 02:28 |
| marijuana | oh wow.. error much apt.. | 02:32 |
| marijuana | ok now lets see.. | 02:33 |
| marijuana | i dont even get a result for bitcoin in software center | 02:35 |
| marijuana | although i think my install is broken | 02:35 |
| disgruntledanon | I've tried installing like four apps by now, both on their sites and on Ubuntu Software | 02:35 |
| disgruntledanon | None of them except this browser work | 02:36 |
| TheNH813 | marijuana: Bitcoin isn't in the software repos that I now of. | 02:36 |
| [n0mad] | it is | 02:36 |
| [n0mad] | i see it | 02:36 |
| TheNH813 | It is? | 02:36 |
| [n0mad] | there's about a dozen results for bitcoin | 02:36 |
| [n0mad] | one is titled bitcoin | 02:36 |
| [n0mad] | i don't know what any of it does though | 02:37 |
| marijuana | not on my system it isnt..there are result.. bfgminer cgminer, lib*, and some python stuff | 02:37 |
| disgruntledanon | I went onto the bitcoin site, clicked on linux, downloaded the file, and then opened the executable, which opened Ubuntu Software and started installing it | 02:37 |
| TheNH813 | Did it error out? | 02:37 |
| disgruntledanon | But then....nothing. No files showed up in my system, no sign that anything happened, just nothing. | 02:37 |
| marijuana | that was probably a repo | 02:37 |
| marijuana | or ppa as they call it in debian | 02:38 |
| disgruntledanon | It was a .deb | 02:38 |
| marijuana | if it opened software center instead of gdebi | 02:38 |
| TheNH813 | Open a terminal, type in | 02:38 |
| TheNH813 | sudo dpkg -i | 02:38 |
| TheNH813 | Then drag in the .deb and press enter | 02:38 |
| TheNH813 | See if it puts out any messages like missing dependencies. | 02:39 |
| CarlFK | TheNH813: about my mouse problem.. what distro did you ssh into ? | 02:40 |
| TheNH813 | CarlFK: OpenWRT. | 02:40 |
| TheNH813 | I can maybe try Debian in a VM if I still got that laying around. | 02:41 |
| CarlFK | TheNH813: I have that too. no problem. debian stretch, fairly minimal, vim eats my mouse . | 02:41 |
| TheNH813 | Huh. That's absolutely bizarre. | 02:41 |
| marijuana | that file i got from the bitcoin site is a tar.gz .. | 02:41 |
| CarlFK | disgruntledanon: I suspect you may have installed it, but the install package didn't include anything to add it to the ... anything gui. | 02:41 |
| TheNH813 | Oh, it's a .tar.gz? | 02:42 |
| TheNH813 | Extract it and see what's inside. | 02:42 |
| th3_g3ntl3m3n | Hey, marijuana. | 02:42 |
| pennTeller | Hi guys, does anybody know why clonezilla makes a folder full of files not an iso? | 02:42 |
| th3_g3ntl3m3n | Nice name. | 02:42 |
| marijuana | thank you i picked it myself | 02:42 |
| TheNH813 | Try ISOMaster or IMGBurn to rip a disk to a .ISO. | 02:43 |
| TheNH813 | Maybe Clonezilla has a option for that, but I'v never used it so I can't say. | 02:43 |
| marijuana | inside is just a filesystem with binaries and stuff. like a slackware package but worse | 02:43 |
| TheNH813 | Lemme check. | 02:43 |
| disgruntledanon | alright, I finally managed to redownload anoter bitcoin thing from their site for linux 64 bit, and....yeah, nothing to click and drag into there | 02:43 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I have a small NUC as a server and I want to clone its disk in case I mess something up | 02:43 |
| CarlFK | pennTeller: making an iso is an extra step - I use it, I clone to a disk, I don't need an iso. but I think I have seen some mention of what you can do about it to make a "rescue cd" that boots | 02:44 |
| marijuana | ahh i see.. ubuntu ppa | 02:44 |
| disgruntledanon | honestly -- I think I really should just reinstall win10 but I can't even do that because of partition stuff. | 02:44 |
| TheNH813 | I found the PPA for bitcoin. | 02:44 |
| TheNH813 | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin | 02:44 |
| disgruntledanon | the PPA doesn't seem to work either | 02:44 |
| TheNH813 | Then sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt | 02:44 |
| marijuana | yea ^ | 02:45 |
| pennTeller | CarlFK, Clonezilla seems to have created a folder named myname-img and this folder seems to be full with what an iso image is usually full | 02:45 |
| pennTeller | CarlFK, I just dont understand why it wouldn´t make it an iso from the bat | 02:45 |
| TheNH813 | Use ISOMaster, K3B, Brasero or IMGBurn if you need a instant ISO. | 02:45 |
| disgruntledanon | Followed your orders TheNH813, and I got "unable to locate package bitcoin-qt" | 02:46 |
| kostkon | disgruntledanon, trying to install bitcoin-qt? | 02:46 |
| TheNH813 | Let me check that then. | 02:46 |
| kostkon | disgruntledanon, try using the snap package: sudo snap install bitcoin-qt | 02:46 |
| kostkon | disgruntledanon, it should appear in ubuntu software | 02:47 |
| disgruntledanon | I was in ubuntu software but the apps I download off there straight up don't do anything | 02:47 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, are those tools that I can boot into as well? | 02:47 |
| disgruntledanon | they don't show up in my apps/Super menu, they don't show up when I press Launch, nothing | 02:47 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, whatever tool I use it has to be bootable since I only have the one computer nad cannot remove the hard drive | 02:48 |
| kostkon | disgruntledanon, i meant the snap package should appear when you search for bitcoin not the .deb file you tried to install (obviously through Ubuntu software again) | 02:48 |
| marijuana | i dont even see a deb file on bitcoin.org | 02:48 |
| deb | deb what? | 02:49 |
| kostkon | disgruntledanon, you could try logging out | 02:49 |
| disgruntledanon | hhhhhhhhhhhh | 02:49 |
| TheNH813 | Tools? | 02:49 |
| TheNH813 | For cloning disks? | 02:49 |
| disgruntledanon | Honestly | 02:49 |
| TheNH813 | pennTeller: Disk cloning utils that are bootable? | 02:49 |
| disgruntledanon | If I knew a single bloody word that was being written in this chat I'd probably qualify for nuclear propulsions in the navy | 02:50 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, correct, like clonezilla is | 02:50 |
| disgruntledanon | I want back to my virus windows 10 pls | 02:50 |
| TheNH813 | What filesystem? | 02:50 |
| TheNH813 | Try a GParted live USB/CD. That's what I use. | 02:50 |
| disgruntledanon | also that app you sent is Bitcoin Unlimited. My wallet save is only for Core. | 02:50 |
| marijuana | probably. linux does require learning | 02:51 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, that will allow me to clone a drive and turn the image into an iso? | 02:51 |
| disgruntledanon | learning or memorization | 02:51 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I´ve used Gparted but didn't know it could to this | 02:51 |
| marijuana | both work. learning is more effective though | 02:51 |
| TheNH813 | pennTeller: You want to clone a full install to a ISO? | 02:51 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, yes | 02:51 |
| disgruntledanon | k, alright, just gonna, delete my stuff and figure out how to partition my SSDs back to be compatible with win10. | 02:52 |
| kostkon | disgruntledanon, well, decide for yourself: snap info bitcoin bitcoin-qt | 02:52 |
| TheNH813 | pennTeller: Does it have to contain just the software, or does it need configuration too? | 02:53 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I jus need a carbon copy of my whole disk drive as an iso. So that I can restore from that if I mess up my server. | 02:53 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I am told this is a common practice and that Clonezilla is used often | 02:54 |
| * marijuana wonders if dd would get the job done. | 02:54 | |
| TheNH813 | Well, if you just want to backup and restore a HDD, is there any reason it needs to be a .ISO? So it's bootable? | 02:54 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I am just weirded out because clonezilla game me a folder not an iso | 02:54 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I would prefer an iso to check integrity, If instead I have a folder, a file can be misplaced by a script or something | 02:55 |
| pennTeller | the iso cannot be modified as easily, so thats why | 02:55 |
| TheNH813 | You can clone a HDD to a file and then create a checksum for it, but if you want .ISO, give me a few minutes to look some things up. | 02:55 |
| TheNH813 | Sorry if I'm also a bit odd at this moment, Active Directory is beginning to get on my nerves. It's for a assignment I need to finish. XD | 02:56 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, thank you lol | 02:56 |
| TheNH813 | How large is the HDD? | 02:56 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, 240 GB | 02:57 |
| TheNH813 | Well, that's going to create a LOT of .iso files. | 02:57 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, im sorry i dont see why that would be the case | 02:57 |
| TheNH813 | About how much data is there? | 02:58 |
| TheNH813 | Do you intend to burn it to DVDs or no? | 02:58 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, no burning, just keep it in my NAS in case i need to restore later | 02:58 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, its only got about 8gb so far since its a new install | 02:59 |
| TheNH813 | Oh, that makes a lot more sense now. You want to use .iso file as a container for the disk. | 02:59 |
| TheNH813 | Rather then as a burnable .iso. Got it. | 02:59 |
| TheNH813 | Do you simply want to store a copy of the drive as a single file? | 02:59 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, yes exactly | 03:00 |
| pennTeller | :) | 03:00 |
| TheNH813 | DD can do that. It will also back up the entire partition table and boot records. | 03:00 |
| TheNH813 | dd if=/dev/sdX of=/path/to/image | 03:00 |
| TheNH813 | So to backup /dev/sda... | 03:00 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, yeah but how am i going to run dd ? | 03:01 |
| TheNH813 | Boot into a live USB or something. | 03:01 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, unless i boot into a live cd and then run dd | 03:01 |
| pennTeller | yeah | 03:01 |
| TheNH813 | dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/Backup/sda.img bs=1M | 03:01 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I suppose there is no other options | 03:01 |
| TheNH813 | Is what I use. | 03:01 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, I would just prefer a moer "automated" method than dd | 03:01 |
| TheNH813 | Allright. | 03:02 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, in order to decrease the chances of disk nuking | 03:02 |
| pennTeller | lol | 03:02 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, who hasn't completely messed a disk with a simple dd mistake | 03:02 |
| TheNH813 | Yeah, true. | 03:03 |
| TheNH813 | I trust myself enough now, but I triple check that command for sure. XD | 03:03 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, yeah it can get pretty scary second before pushing enter | 03:04 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, thanks for your help anyway | 03:04 |
| TheNH813 | Yeah besides copying and pasting the partition between physical drives in GParted or using proprietary software my mind is blank. | 03:06 |
| TheNH813 | You're welcome for the help. Sorry I ran out of ideas. XD | 03:06 |
| pennTeller | TheNH813, no worries hah | 03:07 |

| nexus7ubuntu | hi frands i need halp | 06:06 |
| nexus7ubuntu | i have ubuntu installed on a nexus7 and i cant login, lightdm is stuck in a loop | 06:06 |
| nexus7ubuntu | i cant access tty console because it goes to a blank screen | 06:06 |
| nexus7ubuntu | i dont have ssh running so i cant ssh in | 06:06 |
| nexus7ubuntu | all i have is a guest account | 06:06 |
| nexus7ubuntu | guest has no sudo access so i cant do anything | 06:06 |
| nexus7ubuntu | i think its possibly because i have a full harddrive either that or some kind of lightdm issue, but without console with sudo i have no idea what to do | 06:07 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: you run ubuntu touch or ubports? | 06:07 |
| nexus7ubuntu | um | 06:08 |
| nexus7ubuntu | im running this: ttp://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/raring/ubuntu-13.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.bootimg - http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/raring/ubuntu-13.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img.gz | 06:08 |
| nexus7ubuntu | so thats a port i guess? | 06:10 |
| nexus7ubuntu | is there any way to get sudo on a guest account or change user on a guest account | 06:10 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: nexus7 wifi is a tablet, you can run ubuntu desktop on it | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: and ubuntu touch is depraced, so install the new ubports method | 06:11 |
| nexus7ubuntu | so the tablet is essentially bricked is what youre saying | 06:11 |
| nexus7ubuntu | i have to install some other version of ubuntu on it | 06:12 |
| nexus7ubuntu | there is no way i can get ssh running for me to log in via this guest account or change users on this guest account or anything liek that? | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: read what i just said mate | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: ubuntu touch is depraced, install the ubports method | 06:13 |
| nexus7ubuntu | youre saying i have to install a whole new version of ubuntu | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: ubports.com #ubports | 06:13 |
| nexus7ubuntu | ok thanks ill have a look | 06:13 |
| nexus7ubuntu | except that ubports doenst list my device | 06:14 |
| nexus7ubuntu | its an old nexus 7 | 06:14 |
| nexus7ubuntu | i didnt really want to have to reinstall anything i was hoping for a fix... | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: its not the wifi model? | 06:15 |
| nexus7ubuntu | it has wifi | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: if its nexus 7 wifi you can install ubports | 06:16 |
| ducasse | nexus7ubuntu: this channel only supports currently supported ubuntu versions, and 13.04 is ancient | 06:16 |
| nexus7ubuntu | wait no, this is the 2012 version not the 2013 wifi version | 06:16 |
| nexus7ubuntu | im just asking if theres any way i can fix this through guest account | 06:16 |
| nexus7ubuntu | is there any possible way to change user on guest or start ssh | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: ubuntu has dropped ubuntu touch support, we cant help you with is here | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | it | 06:17 |
| nexus7ubuntu | so im stuffed | 06:17 |
| nexus7ubuntu | thanks anyway | 06:17 |
| nexus7ubuntu | $100 down the drain essentially | 06:17 |
| nexus7ubuntu | ok bye | 06:18 |
| nexus7ubuntu | maybe i can reflash it or something | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: try also the XDA forum | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | nexus7ubuntu: flash android or another port from xda perhaps | 06:18 |
| ducasse | nexus7ubuntu: or try #ubuntu-arm | 06:19 |
| ducasse | maybe they can help you | 06:19 |
| ducasse | (it can take some time to get an answer there now, though, this is a quiet time) | 06:20 |
| gt8ost4l | does anybopdy here use sublime text 3? | 06:36 |
| ducasse | gt8ost4l: better ask your real question | 06:46 |
| gt8ost4l | ducasse everytime i put the commands in Preferences > Keybindings - User it just doesnt work out! | 06:47 |
| gt8ost4l | the output should indent my html file but it doesnt indent at all | 06:47 |
| backtrack | hi | 06:49 |
| backtrack | if i add a newuser | 06:49 |
| backtrack | it will be automatically added to sudoers? | 06:49 |
| ducasse | gt8ost4l: that's not really an ubuntu question, why don't you try ##sublimetext? | 06:49 |
| gt8ost4l | i tried that it doesnt exist | 06:49 |
| ducasse | backtrack: no, you need to specify you want to add it to the sudo group | 06:51 |
| ducasse | gt8ost4l: did you see there are two '#'s? | 06:51 |
| gt8ost4l | ducasse:what are you talking about | 06:52 |
| gt8ost4l | ? | 06:52 |
| ducasse | gt8ost4l: read the channel name _carefully_, look at the beginning | 06:53 |
| backtrack | ducasse, you know the path of that file? | 07:02 |

| tatertots | kirandeo87: you are using Card-1: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n driver: wl bus-ID: 06:00.0 chip-ID: 14e4:4365 right now | 08:03 |

| tatertots | kirandeo87: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26199840/ suggests it supports "BT=bluetooth" | 08:04 |
| kirandeo87 | tatertots: ok | 08:04 |
| tatertots | kirandeo87: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26199853/ suggests you already have it installed | 08:04 |
| tatertots | kirandeo87: thus my flow chart takes us back to Card-1: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n driver: wl bus-ID: 06:00.0 chip-ID: 14e4:4365 | 08:05 |
| tatertots | kirandeo87: and "wl" specifically | 08:05 |
| tatertots | kirandeo87: are you following me?...or am i speaking greek? | 08:06 |
| kirandeo87 | tatertots: What I understood is, I have the required driver but its not functioning properly... and is looking for some patch | 08:06 |
| tatertots | kirandeo87: okay i'd say you passed the comprehension exam :) | 08:07 |
| kirandeo87 | tatertots: :) | 08:07 |
| kirandeo87 | tatertots: Do you think reinstall or something will help? | 08:08 |
| tatertots | kirandeo87: i think you should investigate "wl" | 08:08 |
| tatertots | kirandeo87: as in Card-1: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n driver: wl bus-ID: 06:00.0 chip-ID: 14e4:4365 | 08:08 |

| stephen101 | So I had some problems with pretty much every Linux distro. MCE error in memory bank 4. I ran windows memory diagnostics, no errors. And now I am running passmark which is a extensive test. No errors as of now and I am a hour into it. | 15:57 |
| stephen101 | This makes me wonder if this error is a bug in most Linux kernels towards my machine...? | 15:59 |
| brainwash | stephen101: more like a question for ##linux | 16:00 |
| pa | hi | 16:00 |
| pa | is it possible to use a kernel 4.14 on a 14.04 ? | 16:00 |
| stephen101 | Well I initially had the error in Ubuntu. | 16:00 |
| pa | or would i have to expect something not working? | 16:00 |
| brainwash | pa: I would just test it | 16:01 |
| stephen101 | Since I have tested multiple different distros, same exact errors. Doesn't matter if if update my bios and firmware. Or roll them back. | 16:02 |
| stephen101 | Even tried rolling back my bios as far as I could. | 16:03 |
| brainwash | not sure what to suggest other than testing different kernel versions | 16:03 |
| brainwash | older and newer | 16:03 |
| stephen101 | I also tried 17.10. | 16:03 |
| brainwash | try 18.04 dev | 16:04 |
| stephen101 | 17.10 sucks as far as using most root programs lol. | 16:04 |
| stephen101 | Even using gparted is annoying. | 16:05 |
| brainwash | you can select the Xorg gnome session | 16:05 |
| stephen101 | But to me that's idk like a oxymoron type deal lol. | 16:06 |
| akik | stephen101: if using wayland, add "xhost +si:localuser:root" to your startup | 16:06 |
| stephen101 | I got that. I formated and reinstalled 16.04 | 16:06 |
| stephen101 | 17.10 just didn't do it for me, to many work a rounds to get different applications to work. | 16:08 |
| stephen101 | BTW idk how it worked. But usually I just hit format Ubuntu and reinstall. Dude it wiped out my windows 10. Was slightly upset it didn't detect my dual boot. | 16:10 |
| stephen101 | Had to partition after Ubuntu was installed, reinstall windows 10, then grub rescue. -_- | 16:12 |

| blueingress | BluesKaj， there is problem upgrading, so I deleted it. and won't find it back. | 17:35 |

| BluesKaj | blueingress, FF 57 is quite buggy, don't think it's a wonderful fast and edgy browser. I have it installed but it's not working well at all ..sync isn't working right for starters. So I'm sticking with chrome. | 17:39 |
| stephen101 | I always use chrome-stable without issues. | 17:40 |
| BluesKaj | blueingress, here's a tut that might work https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/installing-firefox-57-0-tar-bz2-on-linux/ | 17:42 |
| stephen101 | OK so I did some research on my MCE error and the processor I have. There are other people with the duplicate problem. | 17:45 |
| alkisg | blueingress: that mirror you're using is not an official ubuntu mirror | 17:45 |
| alkisg | Switch to an official one. How did you end up with that?! | 17:45 |
| stephen101 | So its a Linux kernel bug distro wide or a problem with Intel microcode | 17:45 |
| stephen101 | @alkisg Remember we talked about this? Before. | 17:48 |
| alkisg | stephen101: I wasn't watching your chat now, I don't know the issue... | 17:48 |
| stephen101 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26158204/ | 17:49 |
| alkisg | OK, wait for people that may want to comment on your issue... | 17:49 |
| alkisg | You can also ask in #ubuntu-kernel or in #linux | 17:49 |
| stephen101 | Lol I asked in Linux, no good answer. | 17:50 |
| alkisg | Sure, IRC is not official tech support, you get what you get :) | 17:50 |
| alkisg | For official tech support you'd contact Intel | 17:50 |
| alkisg | Sounds like a hardware error that windows can work around it, and maybe linux can't. I don't know more. | 17:50 |
| stephen101 | But when I google "MCE n3350" it shows others using Linux and exact same error. | 17:51 |
| alkisg | You can file bug reports in ubuntu kernel, or upstream kernel if it happens there, or contact intel | 17:51 |
| stephen101 | I ran none windows benchmarks on boot. No issues detected. | 17:51 |
| alkisg | That says nothing | 17:52 |
| stephen101 | Intel won't supply support for Linux. | 17:52 |
| stephen101 | Read that in their forums lol. | 17:53 |
| stephen101 | All I am saying is this is a system wide error for anyone using the same processor as mine and running Linux. | 17:54 |
| alkisg | Cool. I told you the options I can think of, it's up to you to use them or not. That's all I can do for this. | 17:54 |
| jyka | intel is the most active kernel developer in the world | 17:55 |
| jyka | (linux kernel) | 17:55 |
| stephen101 | I get that, but if you ask they will say they can't provide help with Linux errors. | 17:55 |
| jyka | red hat and canonical are far behind | 17:55 |
| alkisg | stephen101: that's nonsense, but handle it however you like | 17:56 |
| alkisg | Intel supports Linux just fine and have fixed a lot of bugs that I reported upstream | 17:56 |
| alkisg | If you use forums instead of bug trackers though, don't expect much | 17:56 |
| stephen101 | Anyways. I am just going to ignore this error. I need to fix my broken wifi lol | 17:57 |

| stephen101 | My issue, but I tried to search the link you gave, not sure but it comes up with nothing. | 18:01 |
| blueingress | BluesKaj, Thanks | 18:01 |
| blueingress | alkisg, How can I reset my apt config to official ubuntu mirror? | 18:02 |
| yeats | stephen101: launchpad search is kind of crappy - might try searching google for your error plus "ubuntu bugs" | 18:02 |
| blueingress | alkisg, I think this is the root cause of this problem. I have other ubuntu 17.10 server which don't have this issue. | 18:03 |
| stephen101 | One sec let me check | 18:03 |
| stephen101 | Nothing for "m3350 MCE Ubuntu" | 18:04 |
| stephen101 | But "m3350 mce" shows others on other distros with duplicate error. | 18:04 |
| stephen101 | Fair to assume this hasn't been presented to bug reporting on Ubuntu. | 18:07 |
| blueingress | alkisg, I just copy it from a gce version, it works, no matter how slow or fast it is. :-) Thanks. | 18:13 |

| TheWild | hello | 18:26 |
| TheWild | how I can eanble memory-full-oom-kill on a live (not installed) Ubuntu? | 18:27 |
| alkisg | TheWild: how would you do it on an installed ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| TheWild | dunno, but probably I had to reboot. | 18:33 |
| alkisg | Nah, I don't think so | 18:33 |
| alkisg | Isn't it configurable from /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq ? | 18:33 |
| alkisg | Also, why random killing instead of specifying a specific process to kill on oom? | 18:34 |
| alkisg | E.g. start with browser with higher score so that oom knows to kill it first | 18:34 |
| alkisg | *the browser | 18:34 |
| alkisg | Or xorg, or whatever you prefer to kill first | 18:35 |
| TheWild | short: when Linux goes out of memory, it shows that in very shameful way (freezes). I want to enable OOM to kill whatever, but become responsive again. | 18:36 |
| alkisg | TheWild: short: start reading there: https://askubuntu.com/questions/60672/how-do-i-use-oom-score-adj | 18:37 |
| TheWild | "to let it kill whatever" | 18:37 |
| alkisg | This "lets it kill specific programs" which is way better | 18:37 |
| TheWild | a resource hog is probably either firefox or lightdm. It even more problematic because when freeze happens, I can't even access tty. | 18:40 |
| alkisg | TheWild: I understand you and I'm suggesting a solution but I'm afraid you're not understanding me | 18:40 |
| alkisg | You can specify one or more applications to be killed when out of memory happens | 18:40 |
| alkisg | Automatically, without even having to press sysrq+f | 18:41 |
| alkisg | So when out of memory happens, you can have firefox automatically shut down, and all other processes unaffected | 18:41 |
| stephen101 | Bigger swap? Maybe help. | 18:41 |
| stephen101 | Or zram | 18:41 |
| alkisg | No swap in live cds | 18:41 |
| TheWild | swao on live system? | 18:41 |
| alkisg | zram can help a bit, but only so much | 18:41 |
| alkisg | It's preactivated on live cds afaik | 18:41 |
| stephen101 | Didn't know, just a option which I run on my devices. | 18:42 |
| stephen102 | I notice a significant difference using zram. | 18:42 |
| stephen102 | You can enable swap in live with gparted. | 18:43 |
| TheWild | nvm. sudo sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=1 | 18:59 |
| TheWild | I generaly don't have processes running of that importance, especially on live system, but killing whatever is IMHO better than need to reboot whole system. | 19:00 |

| === MochaLoca is now known as Sauvin | ||
| markmedes2 | No luck with blanking only one monitor on a dual-monitor setup? | 20:43 |
| alkisg | markmedes2: if you blank one of them, it'll come back on the next keypress... maybe `xrandr --output VGA-1 --off` would be better instead? | 20:43 |
| ioria | markmedes2, you could that ^ but it wont't come back on | 20:44 |
| alkisg | Yeah to turn on, xrandr --output VGA-1 --auto | 20:45 |
| ioria | with a black screen, not easy | 20:45 |
| markmedes2 | It's playing video on 1 montior while recording security cameras on the other, there shouldn't be much interaction except for when an alarm event happens, the video on the secondary display should be running all day | 20:45 |
| alkisg | He'll still have the one monitor working | 20:45 |
| alkisg | He could even bind that to hotkeys | 20:46 |
| ioria | iirc, tried once, not working | 20:46 |
| alkisg | Which part? I regularly use that | 20:46 |
| ioria | unless i missed somehing | 20:46 |
| ioria | ah, ok | 20:46 |
| alkisg | I even scripted it to automatically xrandr/off my lvds laptop monitor when I plugged an external one, and then the opposite when I unplugged it | 20:47 |
| markmedes2 | I don't want to disable the primary monitor completely, just want to blank it when there is no interaction with it, while keeping the secondary on all day | 20:47 |
| alkisg | Blanking stops on keypress | 20:47 |
| markmedes2 | no problem, that's exactly what I need, to resume when there is a keypress | 20:48 |
| ioria | markmedes2, already tried xset dpms force off | 20:48 |
| markmedes2 | no | 20:49 |
| alkisg | That would blank both of them, wouldn't it? | 20:49 |
| alkisg | Btw, https://superuser.com/questions/140060/is-there-a-way-to-turn-one-monitor-off-in-a-dual-head-setup | 20:49 |
| alkisg | And another person suggesting vbetool, which I'm not sure can do it | 20:49 |
| markmedes2 | oh, great, I search all day on google | 20:49 |
| markmedes2 | thank you | 20:49 |
| alkisg | Nah, the only real solution there is with nvidia | 20:50 |
| alkisg | So unless you use one... :D | 20:50 |
| markmedes2 | hmmk | 20:50 |
| markmedes2 | no nvidia for me, thanks | 20:50 |
| markmedes2 | f* you nvidia | 20:50 |
| alkisg | Btw what's your output of xrandr? | 20:51 |
| ioria | vbetool is for console, i guesss | 20:51 |
| markmedes2 | https://pastebin.com/XBHN2swd | 20:53 |
| alkisg | markmedes2: so anyway if you don't really find a way, one way that will work is to run xrandr to set LVDS-1 to off, and if you want not to disrupt the window settings, to set HDMI-1 to the same resolution that LVDS-1 had (so displaying the same thing but nowhere), and assign a hotkey to set or restore all that | 20:55 |
| markmedes2 | Ok, thank you | 20:55 |
| alkisg | E.g. F5 => LVDS and VGA, again F5 => HDMI and VGA | 20:55 |

| MikeHSG | Afternoon. Wondering if anyone's tried running PLEX Media Server on a 32 bit Lubuntu install | 21:04 |
| Mathisen | MikeHSG, im sure someone has, maybe explain your issue and what you need help with | 21:05 |
| MikeHSG | I'm doing an intitial build using an older machine - Pentium Dual-Core from about 2009, in an old Dell. Running 8gb RAM. Had XP on it, decided to repurpose it into a media server. Leaning towards a 32-bit Lubuntu install with Plex Media Server. | 21:06 |
| MikeHSG | Plan is to have it sitting on my home LAN, nothing fancy, stream music around the house from other devices using Plex apps | 21:07 |
| MikeHSG | Anyone? | 21:27 |
| Mathisen | MikeHSG, you are just saying planed things, no issues :) | 21:27 |
| Mathisen | nothing to respond to | 21:27 |
| MikeHSG | I'm asking if anyone's trid something like this or if there's any issues with this kind of a build | 21:28 |
| Mathisen | it should work fine and #plex would be able to answer most of your questions i guess | 21:29 |
| MikeHSG | Didn't realize they had a channel! Good deal! Thanks! | 21:31 |
| sudormrf | hey guys. trying to sort something out. on 17.10 and trying to mount an SMB share on a freenas box. the freenas box has min value set to SMB2 and max to SMB3, trying to mount via nautilus, smbclient and the mount command all fail. Output of the CLI commands (same errors when I substitute IP for hostname) is here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9b94b8bb421d9696793ec0a25577b41d, Nautilus error is: "Unable to access location: Failed to retrieve | 21:33 |
| sudormrf | share list from server: connection timed out" and is immediate. I have been googling and people were suggesting modifying the smb.conf file on my machine, which I tried and it didn't fix the issue. I have another freenas box with a share that it can reach, but the settings on that one are loose, saying min is NT4 and max is SMB3. Any suggestions? | 21:33 |
| lucas-arg | hey all, got problems with steam and debian using nvidia drivers, followed all instructions give everywhere and cant make it launch the games, steam runs just fine thoguh, any ideas?? | 22:07 |
| Bashing-om | lucas-arg: More than one driver installed ? what shows ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia* ' . | 22:09 |
| lucas-arg | Bashing-om, i might still have nouveau drivers installed | 22:14 |
| lucas-arg | should i just uninstall them after installing nvidia? | 22:14 |
| Bashing-om | lucas-arg: No, installing the proprietary driver will take care of the nouvea driver . But mot tan a single proprietary driver will cause a conflict and nothing gui will work . | 22:15 |
| Bashing-om | more than* | 22:16 |
| lucas-arg | ive installed nvidia-driver then installed libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 | 22:17 |
| lucas-arg | just what it says here https://wiki.debian.org/es/Steam | 22:18 |
| lucas-arg | but games wont start | 22:18 |
| lucas-arg | i can play ok in ubuntu, but want to move to debian instead | 22:18 |
| brainwash | lucas-arg: this here isn't #debian | 22:21 |
| Bashing-om | lucas-arg: ^^ . Did you not read and heed the warning before the " libgl1-nvidia-glx " install ? | 22:22 |
