| c00lwhip | Hey all, had a quick question, I want some files encrpyted, i woulle like ot use gpg naturally, but gaining root on this box allow that user to access it's OS keychain. Anyone know how ot use gpg but not input the possphrase into the keychain? | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| c00lwhip | my fea is someone steals my box, drops to to init 1, changes the root, gains access to the keychain, and then they got access to my gpg protected files | 00:16 |
| shadoxx | ikonia: fyi, i was able to get on-the-fly hostname changing to work without a reboot | 00:16 |
| lotuspsychje | !gpg | c00lwhip can this help? | 00:18 |
| ubottu | c00lwhip can this help?: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 00:18 |
| hggdh | c00lwhip: you have at least two options: (1) save the gpg keys in removeable storage; (2) encrypt your harddrive | 00:20 |

| === CanadianRevenueA is now known as HappyHotDog | ||
| hggdh | c00lwhip: also, the passphrase is not stored in the key chain, I think you were referring to the private key | 00:21 |
| Neo1 | on ubuntu server we can install Moinmoin wiki server | 00:22 |
| Neo1 | is it will like real wikipedia site? | 00:22 |
| c00lwhip | hggh the problem is I encrypt a file. gpg access for me to input th epassword twice as it should. Then when I go to decrypt it, it just does it. Doesn't prompt me for a password for anything | 00:23 |
| Neo1 | I'm reading ubuntu server and now LAMP aplications | 00:23 |
| Neo1 | MoinMoin is good | 00:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Neo1: we have #ubuntu-server you can ask perhaps | 00:24 |
| c00lwhip | Maybe I just don't know how it works entirely. If I move the gpg encrypted file to another machine, thne they are uable to open it, whcih is great. But I want users of this mchine to need the enter the passphrase as well | 00:24 |
| dax | as far as i know it's only saved in memory and goes away on logout | 00:25 |
| dax | i don't have a lot of experience with it though | 00:25 |
| c00lwhip | dax I will try that | 00:30 |
| c00lwhip | dax, thanks | 00:30 |
| nacc | c00lwhip: dax: i believe that's all controlled by the (new and required in gpg2) gpg-agent, no? | 00:31 |
| nacc | I believe you can configure how long that stays resident for, etc. | 00:31 |

| roadrunneratwast | hi . i have a few questions . i am not sure if it is my samsung 9 laptop or ubuntu 16.04. the biggest issue is this: while i am typing, the mouse will suddenly jump up four or five lines and select the region. i wind up deleting a bunch of text and have to undo it. i am not sure if this is a touchpad sensitivity matter. has anyone experienced similar ever? | 01:12 |

| kenrin | JoshuaD: You can open passwords and keys then set the password to "blank" as in no password. It is not recommend though as it stores passwords unencrypted I think | 01:30 |
| JoshuaD | @kenrin: is there a way to do it that is secure? | 01:30 |
| kenrin | I don't know. I just disabled my auto login so it would unlock the ring the same time as my desktop | 01:32 |
| kenrin | Honesly though, if you don't care about the password save feature on the browser you shouldn't have any passwords that would be stored unecrypted in the ring | 01:33 |

| teward | 'go back in time on the syslog' what? | 02:42 |
| teward | whitebeast: the syslog is on a logrotate schedule. if it was in yesterday's syslog you'd have to go read through /var/log/syslog.1 or similar | 02:42 |
| teward | if you want ot read syslog from ten minutes ago, just read /var/log/syslog and don't tail the end, just hunt for the timestamp you were after | 02:43 |
| teward | but no there's not another way to 'go back in time' on the syslog. | 02:43 |
| teward | it isn't a time machine | 02:43 |
| whitebeast | thanks teward but it the event happend before it updated. i need to go back to ( such as yesterday ) | 02:45 |

I build a mining rig with ubuntu server but I'm having trouble with ports because in the place the server is hosted the ISP blocks ports 3333, 5555 that are used by mining app (xmr-stak).

| good_cookies | so far i designed for myself this solution: it should be a drop-down list, like a panel in the corners with icons. so, when i click the icon, it loads my buffer with icon-related link | 03:00 |

| ChronDon88 | Ok. I signed up for this free thing a year ago and they gave me a mini pc for free (I think they were doing sketchy stuff some sort of russian clickfarm stuff) Idk I got my 50 bux and disconnected the thing. Anywase they gave me this mini PC. It's a stripped down version of a MK902II. I called and asked for the password the guy was pretty sketch which I was expecting and said he didnt know and hung up. So... I want to use the thing not throw it away | 05:02 |
| ChronDon88 | so what are my options | 05:02 |
| ChronDon88 | It has 1 USB,1 HDMI, 1 Power in and 1 eithernet thats it. It looks like more could be sodered on (for a future project) | 05:03 |
| ChronDon88 | It's running ubuntu 14.1 utopic | 05:04 |
| ChronDon88 | I can only log in on guest | 05:04 |
| ChronDon88 | Heres a picture of the mini pc | 05:05 |

| ChronDon88 | I was just going to try and use it for IRC/Discord channels that I am an admin of | 05:06 |
| rfleming | ChronDon88: boot into recovery mode then passwd root | 05:07 |
| rfleming | ChronDon88: google something like ubuntu recovery mode change root password | 05:07 |
| ChronDon88 | I have tryed this It seems to not go into recovery mode | 05:07 |
| ChronDon88 | I hold shift and it just boots normaly | 05:08 |
| ChronDon88 | Could I log on guest and download a .c file of a root exploit (seeing how this is an older version of ubuntu) would that work? | 05:08 |
| ChronDon88 | like "rooting" an android device | 05:08 |
| DalekSec | If that's the case I'd go for a re-install since you don't know what could be on there. | 05:10 |
| ChronDon88 | I also have to switch between a mouse and keyboard because I do not have a dongal with mouse and keyboard so i either use the mouse or keyboard lol | 05:10 |
| ChronDon88 | I kinda want to know what sketchy stuff they were up too... I mean they did abandan it for over 8 months and I called today and the guy wanted nothing to do with me. | 05:10 |
| ChronDon88 | (probably closer to 6 months) | 05:11 |
| ChronDon88 | I did find some stuff pointing to a russian click farm? | 05:11 |
| ChronDon88 | May I pm you rfleming? | 05:12 |
| rfleming | ChronDon88: I'm not much of a recovery expert... | 05:13 |

| Tapuboy_ubuntu | can anyone help me getting back the grub in dual boot | 05:18 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | I've dual booted it with windows and tried many things with other friend | 05:20 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | but its not working at all | 05:20 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | I've a HP laptop | 05:20 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | and when I option boot options and select going to Ubuntu the grub shows up | 05:20 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | but on normal startup grub doesn't show up and laptop directly boots into windows | 05:21 |
| dv`_ | in the bios you need to select whatever disk you installed grub/ubuntu on as the first boot device | 05:22 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | I don't see such option in Bios | 05:22 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | the UEFI boot order shows the "Notebook hard drive" at the top of the list | 05:23 |
| enko | Tapuboy_ubuntu, doesn't sound like grub was installed on the boot partition. | 05:24 |
| ChronDon88 | is the only way to get into recovery mode by taping shift? | 05:25 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | well I took instructions from someone, and it actually did installed in the boot partition but I'm not that much intelligent you are right though! please suggest something | 05:25 |
| ChronDon88 | or holding shift while rebooting? | 05:25 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | no not even by shit | 05:25 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | shift* | 05:26 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | I can get into it by pausing the start up and then pressing F9 for boot options | 05:26 |
| enko | Tapuboy_ubuntu, if you can get to grub manually that means it's installed, if you cant automatically that meants the wrong disk is selected for bootup OR you didn't install grub to the primary disk boot partition. | 05:27 |
| ChronDon88 | how do you pause? | 05:27 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | and boot options shows all 3 options http://ibb.co/dMH9Bb see this i posted the image | 05:27 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | oh ok ok while installing Ubuntu 16.04 I've made /boot, /, /home, and swap | 05:28 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | I pause with keep hitting ESC button just when I power up the machine | 05:28 |
| ChronDon88 | so I press f9 and I get ubuntu 14.1 and 4 dots then it boots normaly | 05:30 |
| ChronDon88 | so f9 pauses it? | 05:30 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | yes F9 does but it opens the boot options menu as shown in this image http://ibb.co/dMH9Bb | 05:31 |
| ChronDon88 | I dont get that | 05:32 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | ChoronDon88 uhOh okay | 05:32 |
| ChronDon88 | I get ubuntu 14.1 and then 4 dots then it boots normaly | 05:32 |
| ChronDon88 | but the f9 does something | 05:32 |
| ChronDon88 | like pauses it | 05:33 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | enko what do you recommend | 05:33 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | chrondon88 yes it does | 05:33 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | dv`_, what do you recommend? | 05:33 |
| enko | Tapuboy_ubuntu, reinstall grub to the correct partition? | 05:35 |
| Tapuboy_ubuntu | how do I do that? do you recommend grub_repair_tool | 05:35 |
| ChronDon88 | WOW you need to be connect to the internet to get this menu? | 05:40 |
| xorgnak | no, but you do need to be connected to the internet to reinstall it. | 05:41 |

| ChronDon88 | is it like a windows .exe? | 06:24 |
| mutante | ChronDon88: no, it's more like a .txt. the source code itself, not the executable | 06:25 |
| hateball | a file extension by itself doesnt really say anything either, but .c is usually source indeed | 06:26 |
| ChronDon88 | how do I make a .c like an .exe file | 06:26 |
| mutante | ChronDon88: the file extensions isnt that important in Linux, unlike Windows. try the "file" command to check what it is or just open it with a text editor | 06:26 |

| ChronDon88 | !checkinstall | 06:27 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

| ChronDon88 | Yea but you can get a stripped down version for free | 07:41 |
| ChronDon88 | the company is super sketchy | 07:41 |
| ChronDon88 | after I looked at the files on these thing (most of them are root protected) I found some stuff about some russian click farms | 07:42 |

| ChronDon88 | I really do want to see what they were trying to do | 07:47 |
| gordonjcp | ChronDon88: it's weird, looking at your board pic it looks like it's mostly just the sockets and LEDs that aren't populated | 07:48 |
| pumice | adobe flash player install does not seem to work | 07:48 |
| gordonjcp | ChronDon88: like I reckon you could fit the missing micro SD card socket | 07:48 |
| ChronDon88 | gordonjcp you are correct | 07:48 |
| gordonjcp | the passives around it seem to be present | 07:48 |

| gordonjcp | ChronDon88: can't argue with the price | 07:49 |
| ChronDon88 | You mean free? | 07:49 |
| gordonjcp | ChronDon88: no, 80 cents for the sockets | 07:49 |
| ChronDon88 | I wouldnt trust the company digital reflections | 07:49 |
| gordonjcp | ChronDon88: I was going to say, you could try just soldering flying leads onto a USB device and sticking it down but for pennies you may as well buy the proper sockets | 07:50 |
| ChronDon88 | I basicly shut down my home network for 2 months to get some free cash | 07:50 |

| gordonjcp | not sure how that would work | 07:51 |
| gordonjcp | unless they're doing something evil like using a USB A connector where they should have a B connector | 07:52 |
| gordonjcp | or some really really crazy-ass implementation of OTG | 07:52 |
| ChronDon88 | No to flash it because I dont have root | 07:53 |

| StormWarrior | hey all | 09:56 |
| StormWarrior | My battery is giving me issues.. I did a acpi -v and the output is Battery 0: Charging, 0%, until charged | 09:57 |
| StormWarrior | Battery 0: design capacity 6910 mAh, last full capacity 0 mAh = 0% | 09:57 |
| cfhowlett | StormWarrior is this new behavior? | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | dualbooting? does it charge on windows? | 09:58 |
| StormWarrior | It didnt charge on windows | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | then not a software issue. | 09:58 |
| StormWarrior | The battery is stuck at 0% | 09:58 |
| StormWarrior | hmm | 09:58 |
| StormWarrior | just wanted to confirm | 09:58 |
| StormWarrior | :/ | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | your charger has likely failed | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | they do that | 09:59 |
| StormWarrior | well my laptop is running fine on AC power | 09:59 |
| cfhowlett | then the battery is suspect | 09:59 |
| StormWarrior | thought so | 09:59 |
| StormWarrior | you wanna know the weird part? | 09:59 |
| cfhowlett | they also fail. hopefully easily replaced and not hardwired in. | 09:59 |
| StormWarrior | in the gui(settings > power), it shows that battery is taking voltage | 10:00 |
| cfhowlett | taking voltage != keeping a charge. | 10:00 |
| StormWarrior | like right nom the battery power is 3.2 Wh.. but percentage is 0 | 10:00 |
| enaut | StormWarrior: does the battery heat up while connected? | 10:00 |
| StormWarrior | nope | 10:01 |
| StormWarrior | the battery is cool | 10:01 |
| cfhowlett | should be warm if it's actively charging | 10:01 |
| enaut | thats weird... usually my batteries that where broken were quite hot... | 10:01 |
| StormWarrior | ik | 10:01 |
| StormWarrior | broken batteries should be hot(unless the charging power is broken) | 10:02 |
| StormWarrior | but charging port is fine since battery is taking a voltage of 12.5V | 10:02 |
| === TJ_Remix is now known as TJ- | ||
| cfhowlett | can you replace the battery? | 10:02 |
| StormWarrior | I can | 10:02 |
| StormWarrior | But I wanna know wtf is wrong first | 10:02 |
| cfhowlett | how new/old is this machine. | 10:03 |
| enaut | StormWarrior: but if you remove ac the laptop shuts down/turns of immediately? | 10:03 |
| StormWarrior | the machine is about 5 years old.. so is the battery | 10:03 |
| StormWarrior | enaut: indeed!!! | 10:03 |
| cfhowlett | StormWarrior, if you got 5 years of life out of a laptop, you are doing good! retire that poor battery and replace it! | 10:03 |
| StormWarrior | Look.. full disclosure.. 5 years ago, I was an idiot.. didnt know squat about tech and batteries and how I should maintain a battery | 10:04 |
| StormWarrior | cfhowlett: its thinkpad :/ | 10:04 |
| enaut | you could take a voltmeter and measure the pins... never did anything like that before though | 10:04 |
| StormWarrior | enaut: I have done exactly that with my cellphone | 10:04 |
| StormWarrior | enaut: but as I said, the battery is taking volgae of 12.5V | 10:04 |
| StormWarrior | voltage* | 10:04 |
| Younder | What does this have to do with Ubuntu? | 10:04 |
| StormWarrior | Younder: I am using ubuntu | 10:04 |
| cfhowlett | I believe a dead battery will "take" the voltage, it just won't store the voltage. | 10:05 |
| StormWarrior | Younder: and I want to troubleshoot this on ubuntu | 10:05 |
| StormWarrior | cfhowlett: could be the case | 10:05 |
| Younder | But this is a hardware issue we can't help you with.. | 10:05 |
| StormWarrior | I think I may have messed up the drivers.. in windows.. | 10:05 |
| StormWarrior | Younder: I just want to confirm that this is a hardware issue.. | 10:06 |
| cfhowlett | windows drivers would have no effect on the ubuntu side | 10:06 |
| Younder | Ok, it is. | 10:06 |
| enaut | StormWarrior: if the battery has output but your laptop shows nothing then I rather suspect the connection Battery/Laptop to be broken... | 10:06 |
| TJ- | StormWarrior: you still uses Windows on that PC? There were a lot of known issues with Lenovo Thinkpad battery charging around 2013 ... 5 years ago :) | 10:06 |
| StormWarrior | TJ-: yes I did use windows and I used it like an idiot | 10:06 |
| StormWarrior | enaut: but how is the system correctly(I hope so) gauging the energy and voltage as well as rate of charge of the battery? | 10:07 |
| TJ- | StormWarrior: if you still have Windows, apparently one possible solution is to go into Energy Management, Battery, and choose "Maximum Battery Life" and *sometimes* that causes the battery to charge once more | 10:07 |
| StormWarrior | TJ-: I will try that.. thanks | 10:08 |
| cfhowlett | StormWarrior, I presume instant off if you uplug the AC? | 10:08 |
| StormWarrior | cfhowlett: indeed! | 10:08 |
| StormWarrior | wait guys.. I will post a jpeg link | 10:08 |
| StormWarrior | bear with me | 10:08 |
| TJ- | StormWarrior: which model Thinkpad is it? | 10:08 |
| TJ- | StormWarrior: another possibility: "I have a Thinkpad P50 with Window 10 Pro. I had this problem and after much frustration found that if the computer gets put in Airplane mode, it changes the power settings to one that will not charge the laptop." | 10:09 |
| Younder | StormWarrior, If you download like a fool, you have a lot of resident programs which will tap your memory capacity, your battery power and your computers speed. Get vrid of the unnecessary junk. And altso use a program to clean up the registry. | 10:09 |

| FrostEyes_P1 | anyone knowing when fixes hits 16.04 | 10:58 |
| blackflow | FrostEyes_P1: you sure you want the fix? it drops overall performace up to 30% | 10:59 |
| blackflow | meanwhile, the problem hasn't been made public yet. | 10:59 |
| brainwash | FrostEyes_P1: I suggest asking in #ubuntu-kernel | 11:00 |
| Younder | blackflow, Well I have a 8 core Zenon running 4 GHz. I could probably survive the performance drop.. | 11:01 |
| FrostEyes_P1 | brainwash: thanks | 11:02 |
| geirha | I'd assume it's being backported to 16.04's kernel version as the patches comes in, but I don't really know. Haven't checked. | 11:02 |
| FrostEyes_P1 | blackflow: will patch where I have to. Just need a timeline if possible.. | 11:03 |
| brainwash | it obviously will | 11:03 |
| blackflow | FrostEyes_P1: the vuln itself hasn't been made public yet, no CVEs even, so there's no way to know. | 11:04 |
| blackflow | yes there are some "fixes" landing upstream and a great deal of talk about it on the net, but we're talking official releases and announcements here. | 11:04 |
| brainwash | I'd think that ubuntu kernel devs have all the info | 11:05 |
| blackflow | and an embargo which holds their mouths shut. | 11:06 |
| TJ- | FrostEyes_P1: builds for Bionic's 4.14.10 (stable) are done so that should and very soon (and 4.14.11 probably won't be far behind). Once those are known-good, backports will follow | 11:13 |

| blip99 | hi, does one need extra software to connect to an IPSec strongSwan VPN? | 12:29 |
| KireMer | Hello guys, I am having problem with my sound. I am googling for like 2 hours and I can't seem to find the solution, tried all sorts of stuff. I am new in Ubuntu and it would be lovely if you help me. Here's the problem, I can hear with my notebook bultin speakers, but I can't hear when I plugin headphones. They are recognized it just doesn't output anything. Also I have microphone on this headphones, and the microphone is not | 12:29 |
| KireMer | recognized. My laptop model is Asus s56kc, I am running dual boot. Thank you very much | 12:29 |
| BluesKaj | blip99, type IPSec in your package manager | 12:32 |
| blip99 | BluesKaj, yes I saw several clients but different results on the web point to buggy or problematic packages like openswan. 16.04 repos have the older NetworkManager Applet 1.3 (not 1.4). do you think that's fine? | 12:35 |

| BluesKaj | blip99, is IPSec your only VPN protocol option ? | 12:36 |
| blip99 | BluesKaj, yes that's what the server i connect to uses | 12:37 |
| BluesKaj | blip99, it's been a while since I used IPSec, so i can't answer your question about problematic packages. Most VPN services have moved on to openvpn which much simpler and easier to use. | 12:41 |
| crogers | Hi. I'm having an issue revoking my gpg public key on keyserver.ubuntu.com | 12:42 |
| blip99 | BluesKaj, ah i see. the reason our server uses ipsec is that 'openvpn is not very secure and buggy'. i guess that's outdated info? | 12:42 |
| crogers | get an error message: Add failed: This is a stand-alone revocation certificate. A revocation certificates should be imported to the respective public key before being published to a keyserver | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | blip99, uhm, sounds like the server just doesn't want to change protocols ..openvpn is very secure and bugfree in my experience | 12:44 |
| crogers | Got no idea why it's not taking it. Isn't the point of a "stand-alone" *anything* supposed to be that it doesn't need more information to process? | 12:44 |
| km2411 | hi | 12:48 |
| eraserpencil | does anyone have an autokey phrase like aptin that expands into sudo aptitude install? | 12:49 |
| crogers | eraserpencil: have you tried the "alias" command? | 12:52 |
| samuel | wagwan piff ting | 12:53 |
| eraserpencil | crogers: yea it dosent really work the way i want to, or im doing it wrong. "alias" excutes the command on its own. cant really customize an alias for packages | 12:57 |
| EriC^^ | eraserpencil: what alias are you trying to use? | 12:57 |
| crogers | alias install='sudo apt install' | 12:59 |
| crogers | seems to work for me. | 13:00 |
| crogers | or am I not understanding what you're trying to do? | 13:00 |
| eraserpencil | EriC^^: for example i want a shortcut to "dmesg --get-selections | grep" , lets say 'dgr'. I can just do "dgr gtk" or "dgr qt" rather than "dmesg --get-selections | grep gtk" or "dmesg --get-selections | grep qt" | 13:01 |
| akik | eraserpencil: you can reference a command line argument in alias with $1 | 13:02 |
| eraserpencil | akik: Thanks! What if I wanted to do an alias for "sudo apt install", but there will be times I'd install several packages at once | 13:05 |
| akik | eraserpencil: $* expands to all arguments | 13:06 |
| eraserpencil | damn | 13:07 |
| eraserpencil | is there a man page for alias rules? or is this basic scripting? | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | I just use a .bash_aliases file and list them there | 13:07 |
| blip99 | BluesKaj, thanks for the help | 13:08 |
| akik | eraserpencil: man bash lists them but it's a bit hard to read | 13:08 |
| akik | eraserpencil: better to read some guide on the net | 13:08 |
| BluesKaj | blip99, so what have you decided ? | 13:08 |
| BluesKaj | eraserpencil, example: alias uu='sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade' | 13:09 |
| blip99 | BluesKaj, I'm gonna try to get the swan client working, it's supposed to modify ubuntu's nework manager. but i think i got the wrong version | 13:11 |
| crogers | alias badly needs a man page. | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | blip99, i see, ok ipsec is workable , just bit more complicated | 13:12 |
| eraserpencil | akik:so I'm trying out " alias dms='dmsg --get-selections | grep ' ", but | 13:13 |
| eraserpencil | dms has no tab-completion and "dms qt" returns error | 13:13 |
| eraserpencil | sorry theres the $1 in there | 13:13 |
| BluesKaj | eraserpencil, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1414/how-to-create-a-permanent-alias | 13:14 |
| akik | eraserpencil: dmsg is no command, maybe you meant dmesg | 13:15 |
| alkisg | dpkg probably | 13:15 |
| akik | ah of course | 13:16 |
| eraserpencil | alkisg: yea, im messing up commands now | 13:16 |
| EriC^^ | eraserpencil: do you mean "dpkg --get-selections" ? | 13:22 |
| eraserpencil | EriC^^: yup | 13:24 |
| eraserpencil | last question. alias aptin='sudo aptitude install $*' works, but not with tab-completion. anyway to get it with tab completion? | 13:24 |
| EriC^^ | eraserpencil: check out https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4219/how-do-i-get-bash-completion-for-command-aliases | 13:27 |
| geirha | eraserpencil: remove the $* from the end of that alias. alises do not have arguments | 13:30 |
| eraserpencil | geirha: It does work | 13:31 |
| geirha | eraserpencil: because your interactive session happens to not have any arguments set, so $* expands to nothing | 13:31 |
| Ian | hi | 13:32 |
| === Ian is now known as Guest93161 | ||
| EriC^^ | hi | 13:32 |
| akik | geirha: he uses the $* so that he can use the alias with different arguments | 13:37 |
| akik | geirha: or did you mean the completion would work if he removes the $* ? | 13:37 |
| loginoob | I need urgent help... The error i get when i boot is "the system is running on low graphics mode" | 13:39 |
| geirha | akik: I mean the $* serves no purpose other than potentially causing unexpected behavior later on. aptin foo would be alias-expanded to sudo aptitude install $* foo | 13:39 |
| loginoob | I have tried stackoverflow solution but the problem is when i open tty1 and login, it says sudo command not found, vi command not found | 13:40 |
| loginoob | Mostly all the command not found. I can do ls though | 13:40 |
| akik | geirha: if he runs "aptin foo" the $* would be foo | 13:40 |
| geirha | akik: nope | 13:40 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk | ||
| brainwash | akik: it's an alias and not a function | 13:41 |
| akik | geirha: it works that way in bash | 13:41 |
| loginoob | Please anyone | 13:41 |
| geirha | akik: Try with this: set -- "arg 1" "arg 2"; alias mytest='echo $*' and run mytest hello | 13:41 |
| ka11 | anyone here | 13:41 |
| loginoob | I want to edit my bashrc file in tty but vi command not found error it shows | 13:42 |
| loginoob | Is there any other way to edit | 13:42 |
| brainwash | try with "nano" | 13:42 |
| ka11 | example:$nano filename, | 13:43 |
| geirha | (without the dollar) | 13:43 |
| ka11 | yep | 13:43 |
| loginoob | brainwash ok ty, could you please tell me how to save the file after edit | 13:44 |
| loginoob | In nano | 13:44 |
| ka11 | ctrl+O | 13:44 |
| eraserpencil | geirha: akik's solution does work. havent test it out with tab completion though. and with yours, I would hit a limit with arguments yes? | 13:46 |
| geirha | eraserpencil: that limit is there regardless | 13:46 |
| loginoob | And reboot, poweroff, shutdown not working. Do i have to do hard poweroff? | 13:46 |
| brainwash | loginoob: can you run the commands if you use the full path? | 13:48 |
| brainwash | it may be that your PATH is not set, or there's something wrong with | 13:48 |
| brainwash | it | 13:48 |
| loginoob | brainwash I don't know full path. I m new | 13:48 |
| geirha | eraserpencil: and again, it happens to work because your interactive shell has no arguments set at the moment. You'll find that it still works after you remove $*, so I recommend you remove it from that alias. | 13:49 |
| loginoob | I edited my bashrc file and in the end wrote export path= /usr/lib/java. So i ma guessing that must be the problem | 13:50 |
| loginoob | brainwash I have deleted it now. And i need to reboot | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | bash_aliases in the hidden files section is the simplest setup IMO | 13:51 |
| brainwash | loginoob: /usr/bin/systemctl reboot | 13:53 |
| brainwash | or logout and login again | 13:54 |
| loginoob | It says permission denied brad[] | 13:54 |
| geirha | loginoob: It's better to adjust PATH in .profile rather than .bashrc, but you certainly do not want to overwrite the existing PATH variable. Instead you want to prepend or append | 13:54 |
| loginoob | brainwash | 13:54 |
| loginoob | Sory | 13:54 |
| brainwash | then do "exit" and login again | 13:55 |
| brainwash | with your bashrc fixed everything should work fine again | 13:55 |

| AvidWolf43 | hi guys | 15:48 |
| AvidWolf43 | how do i remove mysql completely from ubuntu 16.04 server | 15:50 |
| AvidWolf43 | im having issues since installing it via the iso installer | 15:50 |
| deem | what's an iso installer? | 15:51 |
| AvidWolf43 | deem: im having a brainfart in terminology, the usb installer | 15:52 |
| AvidWolf43 | when you dd the image on usb and boot from it for ubuntu server | 15:52 |
| dewwii | why do you want to uninstall mysql? you can use apt-get remove or purge | 15:53 |
| AvidWolf43 | i dont know if this makes sense but, i think i have 2 mysql's? I think something got messed up during the installation, since it asked me 3 times to set root pw | 15:53 |
| AvidWolf43 | so im assuming i have 3 instances? | 15:53 |
| deem | AvidWolf43: ah. you spoke of ubuntu server, i thought you were speaking of mysql in context of the iso installer. what kind of issues do you have with mysql? | 15:53 |
| AvidWolf43 | if i su to root, i can login by mysql -u root | 15:55 |
| AvidWolf43 | no pw | 15:55 |
| AvidWolf43 | if i am in a normal user with sudo the same command doesnt work | 15:55 |
| dewwii | yeah that's the "new" way | 15:55 |
| AvidWolf43 | dewwii: ? | 15:57 |
| dewwii | trying to find an article on this, but basically newer versions of mysql uses a diff login mechanism which works with th root user | 15:58 |
| alkisg | blackbird1: you're connected via VGA (analog) instead of digital, it's a very possible reason for blurry screen | 15:59 |
| alkisg | blackbird1: use dvi or hdmi instead | 15:59 |
| dewwii | AvidWolf43: i may be wrong from ubuntu's perspective. i ran into this with debian 9 where it uses a socket for root user to login as mysql root user | 16:00 |
| AvidWolf43 | dewwii: i think you are correct though, the behavior makes sense | 16:01 |
| AvidWolf43 | i guess i need to find an older version | 16:01 |
| dewwii | you can change it. this is the article i ran into for deb 9. not sure if it applies https://y0b.org/index.php/2017/08/28/debian-9-stretch-and-mysql-mariadb-root-password/ | 16:02 |

| monk12|2 | hey all, had a quick question. can i add another group to a group in /etc/group? like we have developers group we maintain... instead of adding same users to apache group, can we do something like so apache::::developres | 16:25 |
| monk12|2 | apache::::developers,user4,user5,user6 | 16:25 |
| monk12|2 | (where developers has user1,user2,user3 already in it) | 16:25 |
| monk12|2 | (Note: in my syntax, i simplified the /etc/group syntax since forgot how many colons to add off top of my head hehe) | 16:26 |
| nacc | monk12|2: use adduser, and see what it does to the files? | 16:28 |
| monk12|2 | k i heard i can also try vigr and it will check the syntax (possilby saying if it wont allow adding group). a sysadmin in house said %developers may work | 16:30 |

| gordonjcp | r0b-: it'll be fixed whenever the upstream kernels are fixed | 16:33 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | and my regex is just /.*/, so i could probably use that instead, but i'm not trying to change someone else's production system on them :P | 16:34 |

| NoImNotNineVolt | well, aside from stopping the flood of errors about postfix pcre in this syslog :P | 16:34 |
| gordonjcp | r0b-: if an attacker can already run arbitrary code on your machine they can exploit it | 16:34 |
| r0b- | ah | 16:34 |

| CapsAdmin | i've tried grub-install and update-grub and even grub-mkconf | 16:35 |

| alkisg | monk12|2: no, afaik you can't have groups as members of groups | 16:35 |
| r0b- | but for me just using my laptop I should not worry much? | 16:36 |

| CapsAdmin | alkisg, ^ | 16:55 |
| CapsAdmin | EriC^^, yes i tried that | 16:55 |
| CapsAdmin | nacc, it's kde neon based on ubuntu | 16:55 |
| CapsAdmin | the image starts with vmz something iirc | 16:56 |
| CapsAdmin | i just tab to autocomplete | 16:56 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: while I look over these, try: set root=what you do already, and this: configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 16:56 |
| hicoleri | EriC^^: something along the lines of bad edid: https://hastebin.com/sugojawaxe.css | 16:56 |
| EriC^^ | CarlFK: you could do 'sudo dd if=/dev/sdX bs=$(stat -c %s /path/to/iso) count=1 | md5sum' and see if it matches md5sum /path/to/iso | 16:57 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: check if that configfile command shows the menu | 16:57 |
| CapsAdmin | alkisg, alright | 16:57 |
| EriC^^ | CarlFK: replace sdX with the usb name | 16:57 |
| hicoleri | is the TV bad? | 16:57 |
| theseb | possible to convert live usb stick to one with custom packages added to it? | 16:57 |
| theseb | i tried before and failed.... | 16:57 |
| EriC^^ | hicoleri: no i think a bad edid usually means it's just not out of the box working and you have to give it yourself, ive never had experience with it before | 16:58 |
| hicoleri | okay | 16:58 |

| CapsAdmin | and i booted from it | 16:59 |
| hicoleri | okay, thanks | 16:59 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: ok, that means your configuration is fine but the grub installation isn't | 17:00 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: let me find the exact command for it... | 17:00 |
| EriC^^ | hicoleri: i think what you have to do is tell it to ignore the edid and add a modeline yourself | 17:00 |
| hicoleri | i'll try later. don't have time now | 17:00 |

| hicoleri | thanks again | 17:02 |
| EriC^^ | CapsAdmin: type 'sudo ls -l /boot/efi/efi' and get the name of the dir, then type 'sudo cat /boot/efi/efi/<name of dir>/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999' and paste the link here | 17:03 |
| EriC^^ | hicoleri: no problem | 17:03 |
| CapsAdmin | http://termbin.com/kiuqe | 17:04 |
| CapsAdmin | EriC^^, | 17:04 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: when you ran dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64, did it display dialogs prompting you about the kernel cmdline, the nvram variables etc? | 17:05 |
| CapsAdmin | yeah | 17:05 |
| CapsAdmin | maybe i should have told | 17:05 |
| CapsAdmin | i just went with defaults alkisg | 17:06 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: eh, anyway, to remove/reinstall grub: apt purge grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed shim-signed; apt install grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed shim-signed | 17:07 |
| alkisg | Make sure it doesn't remove any other packages though before pressing yes | 17:07 |
| EriC^^ | CapsAdmin: can you type 'sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999' | 17:07 |
| EriC^^ | i suspect it's booting another grub.efi that doesn't have a good grub.cfg pointing to the right config file | 17:08 |
| alkisg | I think the efi variables etc are all set up correctly, and the problem is that grub is searching in the wrong partition for the menu | 17:08 |
| EriC^^ | alkisg: yeah, the file that was termbin'ed above is what grub uses to find the config, it's set up properly according to his lsblk output, so it might be that it's booting a different grub.efi | 17:08 |
| CapsAdmin | alkisg, after doing that the only thing that looks like an error is "No DKMS packages installed: not changing Secure Boot validation state." | 17:08 |
| CapsAdmin | but no menus this time | 17:09 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: ok, try a reboot and come back for more info if that didn'twork | 17:09 |
| CapsAdmin | alkisg, same | 17:12 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: ok, let's test EriC^^'s theory: ( ls -lR /boot/efi; sudo efibootmgr -v ) | nc termbin.com 9999 | 17:12 |

| theseb | possible to convert live usb stick to one with custom packages added | 17:14 |
| theseb | to it? | 17:14 |
| alkisg | If it's not an official ubuntu flavour, yeah | 17:14 |
| CapsAdmin | alkisg, http://termbin.com/75ml | 17:14 |
| CarlFK | EriC^^: I think there is an option to md5sum --check all the files on it.. there was on the alt installer years ago... which will also verify the .iso file didn't get messed up | 17:14 |
| idesuvix | I think I have messed up my ubuntu install, and I would kindly ask for some helpl trying to resolve it | 17:14 |
| EriC^^ | CarlFK: yup, if you boot in legacy mode i think you get that option | 17:15 |
| idesuvix | I have tried changing my sound card drivers because it was not working properly, and now Ubuntu won't recognize my sound card at all... Using 16.04 LTS | 17:16 |
| CarlFK | EriC^^: is legacy like "not uefi" or ... what? | 17:16 |
| EriC^^ | CarlFK: yeah exactly | 17:16 |
| EriC^^ | the bios/msdos mode | 17:16 |
| CapsAdmin | theseb, i used this to make a persistent live cd of some ubuntu flavor https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb | 17:16 |
| CapsAdmin | you can boot into that and install the package you want | 17:16 |
| CapsAdmin | then you can choose to boot into it in read mode later if you wish | 17:17 |
| letterman | /msg nickserv identify lateshow | 17:17 |

| CapsAdmin | ok checking | 17:17 |
| CarlFK | EriC^^: I don't think this laptop has uefi. | 17:18 |
| CarlFK | ah found it. hold shift while I boots. | 17:18 |
| CarlFK | "check disk for defects" | 17:18 |
| EriC^^ | try to see the variables $prefix and $root | 17:19 |
| CapsAdmin | EriC^^, it says (hd0,gpt1)/EFI/ubuntu | 17:20 |
| CapsAdmin | it should say neon? lol | 17:20 |
| letterman | is there anyway for me to recover the hash of my last used password? | 17:21 |
| letterman | I tried /etc/shadow- but it wasn't there | 17:21 |
| letterman | well, it was the same as my current | 17:21 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: it's possible that the neon "installer" manually patches things, and installing/reinstalling grub later on restores the ubuntu defaults and breaks them | 17:22 |
| CapsAdmin | hmm | 17:22 |
| alkisg | CapsAdmin: it's the main reason that only official ubuntu flavors are supported; that we don't know what other flavors do :) | 17:22 |
| nacc | letterman: why do you need it? | 17:22 |
| CapsAdmin | yeah i understand alkisg | 17:22 |
| nacc | CapsAdmin: that's why i asked a while ago :) | 17:22 |
| letterman | because it's the same password that I used somewhere else, and I forgot that password | 17:22 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: any luck with $prefix? | 17:22 |
| CapsAdmin | EriC^^, it says (hd0,gpt1)/EFI/ubuntu | 17:22 |
| letterman | my wife threw away the paper I had it backed up on | 17:23 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: aha, that's the problem | 17:23 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: it should say (hd0,gp3)/boot/grub | 17:23 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: i wonder where it's getting efi/ubuntu from | 17:24 |
| CapsAdmin | as others said i'm on kde neon and not ubuntu | 17:25 |
| CapsAdmin | it's ubuntu based but i guess there are differences | 17:25 |
| letterman | nacc: do you know how I can recover it? | 17:25 |
| nacc | letterman: sorry, i don't | 17:25 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: without boot-repair did you get a grub shell too? | 17:25 |

| CapsAdmin | alright, if that doesn't work i'll try #kde-neon | 17:28 |
| CapsAdmin | how should i ask though? | 17:28 |
| CapsAdmin | brb | 17:28 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: this is far fetched but also try | 17:29 |
| EriC^ | sudo cp /boot/efi/efi/neon/grub.cfg /boot/efi/efi/boot | 17:29 |

| letterman | can anyone help me recover my previous password hash for $20? | 17:30 |
| CapsAdmin | there was no menu (it's hidden by default?) but it ust booted straight into the os | 17:30 |
| EriC^ | aha | 17:30 |
| E3X0J8S2 | letterman: what do you mean by previous password hash? | 17:30 |
| EriC^ | did run both commands or just the first? | 17:30 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | letterman: cat /etc/passwd | 17:30 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: aha cool | 17:30 |
| CapsAdmin | thanks, alkisg and EriC^ | 17:31 |

| CapsAdmin | i've looked into this all day lol | 17:32 |
| CapsAdmin | learned a lot at least | 17:32 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | letterman: cat /etc/passwd in your backups. | 17:32 |
| nacc | AvidWolf43: that is not an Ubuntu package. | 17:32 |
| letterman | also, it's etc/shadow to find the hashes | 17:32 |
| EriC^ | CapsAdmin: no problem | 17:32 |
| nacc | AvidWolf43: read the message if you want to do what you are doing, but it's not supported here. | 17:32 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | letterman: you kids and your newfangled linuxes :P | 17:32 |
| letterman | I don't backup my laptop, all my documents are on the cloud | 17:33 |
| AvidWolf43 | nacc: i did and i did rm -rf but it still keeps on | 17:33 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | then it seems that you may a copy of your old password hash may no longer exist in the filesystem. | 17:33 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | s/you may// | 17:34 |
| letterman | is there a way to look at the journal or file history for /etc/shadow | 17:34 |
| nacc | AvidWolf43: what did you do an `rm -rf` of? | 17:34 |
| nacc | letterman: no | 17:34 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | now you're venturing into forensic data recovery territory :P | 17:34 |
| letterman | yeah, well that may just be necessary in this case | 17:34 |
| AvidWolf43 | my system lmao jk jk | 17:34 |
| AvidWolf43 | '/var/lib/mysql/debian-*' | 17:35 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | that's going to run you a lot more than $20 and still have a low probability of success. | 17:35 |
| EriC^ | letterman: /etc/shadow- is a backup file | 17:35 |
| E3X0J8S2 | letterman: did you nuke your disk? | 17:35 |
| letterman | no my disk is intact | 17:35 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | indeed, but just looking over unlinked inodes is a pain, isn't it? | 17:35 |
| E3X0J8S2 | letterman: sorry im late to the party, can you give me the full story? | 17:35 |
| letterman | So I used my previous password on a cryptowallet, and then my wife threw away the paper that I had wrote down the password on | 17:36 |
| letterman | cracking the wallet is 1,000x more difficult than cracking the MD5 hashes | 17:36 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | aren't they salted? | 17:37 |
| letterman | I have the salt | 17:37 |
| nacc | letterman: afaict, unless you go down the route of removing your disk physically and having someone do the forensics, you're probably out of luck. Definitely offtopic for #ubuntu, at this point. | 17:37 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/salt-bae | 17:37 |
| nacc | AvidWolf43: can you provide, in a pastebin, `ls -ahl /var/lib/mysql` | 17:37 |
| letterman | so ubuntu doesn't store like your last 10 passwords or whatever for security | 17:38 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | nacc: you might try running some basic heuristics to spot what looks like a shadow file somewhere in an unlinked inode. i don't know how to traverse unlinked inodes. | 17:38 |
| nacc | letterman: why would it? | 17:38 |
| EriC^ | letterman: did you try /etc/shadow- ? | 17:38 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | sorry, letterman, not nacc | 17:38 |
| letterman | yeah, shadow- is the same hash as shadow | 17:38 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | letterman: that would be ubuntu, it would be pam or something. | 17:38 |
| ash_work | oh wow, I went on a tangent | 17:38 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | s/would/wouldn't/ | 17:38 |
| letterman | nacc, lots of OSes will tell you you can't reuse passwords as a part of security | 17:38 |
| E3X0J8S2 | letterman: do you have the hash? | 17:38 |
| nacc | letterman: that would be pam doing that, if anything | 17:39 |
| === juboxi is now known as jubo2 | ||
| nacc | letterman: so you could go digging in pam's database, probably | 17:39 |
| AvidWolf43 | nacc: https://pastebin.com/iRjrtWpN | 17:39 |
| letterman | how do I make pam puke it's database? | 17:39 |
| nacc | letterman: *if* you configured it as such | 17:39 |
| ash_work | when I do `docker stats` every write pollutes my terminal's history.... is there anyway to make that just write over itself? | 17:39 |
| nacc | AvidWolf43: well, per that output, you did not delete the files the log outputted | 17:40 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | yea, i don't think default install has any sort of reuse restrictions. | 17:40 |
| ash_work | like, watch wont work | 17:40 |
| mahi | hi | 17:40 |
| nacc | AvidWolf43: it syas to delete a specific file (glob) | 17:40 |
| letterman | it may not have the restriction turned on but taht doesn't mean it's not keeping the history | 17:40 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | that would be poor design :P | 17:40 |
| nacc | letterman: it would be insecure for it to keep the history if it's not using it | 17:40 |
| nacc | *more insecure* | 17:40 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | normally that wouldn't surprise me, but i'd imagine the people working on pam are more security-minded :P | 17:41 |
| letterman | expired password hashes are a security risk? barely | 17:41 |
| ash_work | piping to less prints the same stuff over and over... | 17:41 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | barely, if people don't use the same password in more than one place, and update all of their passwords regularly. neither of which is true. | 17:41 |
| E3X0J8S2 | letterman: not if you're reusing to some degree | 17:41 |
| letterman | the effort to crack an expired hash is the same effort as cracking the current hash | 17:42 |
| jer | evidence enough that passwords are the dumbest idea that is religious to most people that humans have ever created. | 17:42 |
| nacc | letterman: you made a bad choice (using one password in multiple places) with a worse choice (physical backup on a postit (sounds like)) and as I said, this is not about Ubuntu anymore. | 17:42 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | as is evidenced in your own case: you're trying to recover an old password on one system in order to access another :P | 17:42 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | were you a malicious actor, you'd be exploiting the very security vulnerability we're debating. | 17:42 |
| letterman | if I have access to /etc/shadow than nothing we're debating is of consequence. | 17:43 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | it's the old /etc/shadow that you need. | 17:43 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | or, an old hash, rather. | 17:43 |

| ash_work | I mean is there a set of options I should pass to less or something to make it just rewrite on every refresh? | 17:49 |
| nacc | ash_work: that's not how less works | 17:49 |
| ash_work | nacc: yeah, can you maybe put me on the right track? | 17:50 |
| EriC^ | letterman: did you ever write the password in clear text in another command maybe? you could check old sudo commands from auth.log | 17:50 |
| nacc | ash_work: so, you want the equivalent of `watch docker stats`? | 17:50 |
| ash_work | nacc: watch docker stats doesn't print anything, but yeah | 17:51 |
| EriC^ | or /root/.bash_history | 17:51 |
| ash_work | nacc: docker stats continually prints new stats in screenfuls | 17:51 |
| nacc | ash_work: so `docker stats` already 'refreshes', you just don't lik that it prints a sequence, rather than draws on itself? | 17:53 |
| ash_work | nacc: yes | 17:53 |
| nacc | ash_work: use --no-stream | 17:53 |
| nacc | ash_work: with watch? | 17:53 |
| nacc | ash_work: tbh, this is probably a docker questio | 17:54 |
| ash_work | nacc: I thought it would be a configuration issue | 17:54 |
| ash_work | nacc: for example, similar things happen in a screen | 17:54 |
| nacc | ash_work: what do you mean, exactly? | 17:55 |
| ash_work | nacc: sometimes if I don't set some screen settings, various things like top will print pages at a time also | 17:57 |
| nacc | ash_work: are you seeing this in screen (the docker stats issue)? | 17:58 |
| ash_work | nacc: seeing what exactly? | 17:59 |
| ash_work | nacc: I mean, yes... If I understand you correctly | 18:00 |
| nacc | ash_work: that `docker stats` is outputting a linear sequence? I don't use docker myself | 18:00 |
| ash_work | nacc: probably, I haven't checked, but that's not what I meant; I just meant that sometimes it seems like a shell issue where something that is suppose to print over itself actually prints sequentially | 18:00 |
| ash_work | nacc: I have seen that happen on remote screens before, and this is typically remedied with a screen configuration | 18:01 |

| nacc | pos: the upstream version reportred by a program does not tell you what is or is not fixed in the Ubuntu package. | 18:45 |
| ash_work | pos ^ unreachable | 18:45 |
| lotuspsychje | loginoob: what E3X0J8S2 suggesting can be done by sudpo apt purge nvidia* to fallback to nouveau, (if your current driver is an nvidia one) | 18:45 |

| nacc | pos: similar for the other CVEs | 18:47 |
| pos | "needed" meaning...? | 18:47 |
| nacc | pos: someone on the security team has to do the work, it's a vulnerable version | 18:48 |
| pos | also, deb has kernel patches fixed upstream (source) dated *after* the latest ub kernel packages | 18:48 |
| pos | ofc, i know they're working on the intel memory mapping issue | 18:48 |
| nacc | pos: i don't parse your prior sentence | 18:49 |
| pos | but being three weeks behind in sec updates? what is this, windows patch tuesday style? | 18:49 |
| loginoob | lotuspsychje: I did the sudo apt purge nvidia as it was one of the answers | 18:50 |
| lotuspsychje | loginoob: ubuntu-drivers list shows the ubuntu drivers available for your system/hardware | 18:51 |
| lotuspsychje | loginoob: you can test this way between nvidia versions & the opensource driver | 18:52 |
| nacc | pos: i'm not sure what you mean by 3 weeks? per the Debian pages, they were olny reported last week. | 18:52 |
| loginoob | lotuspsychje: but how can i connect to wifi? | 18:52 |
| nacc | pos: i guess that might be when the DSA were reported | 18:52 |
| nacc | pos: if you have security questions, ask the security team | 18:52 |
| lotuspsychje | loginoob: at wich point are you now? | 18:52 |
| nacc | pos: although, if you have actual security concerns, don't use imagemagick | 18:53 |
| loginoob | lotuspsychje: I am accessing root shell from recovery mode | 18:53 |
| lotuspsychje | loginoob: enable networking before entering rootshell | 18:53 |
| pos | yeah, well, any -desktop metapack kinda forces you into it :) | 18:53 |
| E3X0J8S2 | loginoob: An easier solution is probably to boot into a livecd, connect to wifi there, mount your current linux partitions, and chroot into it | 18:53 |
| james1138 | Hello to all from Indiana. Can I ask a question about Banshee media player here? | 18:54 |
| nacc | pos: I don't believe any -desktop metapackage forces you to use imagemagick | 18:54 |
| nacc | pos: it might be istalled, but you don't need to use it | 18:54 |
| lotuspsychje | james1138: yes its ubuntu related | 18:55 |
| loginoob | E3X0J8S2: Will try that as soon as i get access to live CD. that is my last option. | 18:55 |
| pos | i may be wrong about this, but isn't it used for say thumbnailing? | 18:55 |
| nacc | pos: give that you can remove it from 17.10 without removing anything else, I'd assume not. | 18:56 |
| pos | perhaps, but doen't 17.10 brick some uefi boards atm? | 18:56 |
| nacc | pos: dunno | 18:57 |
| loginoob | lotuspsychje: when i drop into enable networking it is on loop of grep: /etc/resolv.conf: No suck file or directory | 18:57 |
| pos | it does brick lenovos afaik | 18:57 |
| james1138 | I am using ubuntu 16.04 and banshee... I see there is a radio station fetcher extension - but it is for version 2.40. Has anyone got the extension installed and working for the newer versions of Banshee? | 18:57 |
| lotuspsychje | pos: that issue should be solved by now | 18:57 |
| E3X0J8S2 | loginoon: you need to be connected to a network first for resolv.conf to be updated I think | 18:58 |
| lotuspsychje | pos: we have users that solved it with installing higher kernels | 18:58 |
| pos | that may be the case, but won't installing using orig install media pose a risk? | 18:58 |
| loginoob | E3X0J8S2: By cable? | 18:59 |

| surgubben1957 | i got an "ASUS VivoStick TS10-B004D" with an CPU "Intel Atom x5-Z8350".... Is it possible to install ubuntu on this? | 19:31 |
| Bashing-om | surgubben1957: What is the hardware specs, and what is the issue ? | 19:32 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: I don't think Ubuntu maintains a comprehensive hardware compatibility list, but it should work on most hardware | 19:33 |

| ChronDon88 | https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gmJxBOdC9iYjE5a0xnVzJHNm8 | 19:34 |
| ChronDon88 | like to flash the PC? | 19:34 |
| surgubben1957 | Bashing-om && E3X0J8S2: okey. do you know anyone that are good on Atom Cpu's? i thought an atom cpu was like an I3 | 19:34 |
| surgubben1957 | it was my grandchild that gave this crappy thing to me | 19:35 |
| lotuspsychje | surgubben1957: this stick works on usb 2 or 3? | 19:35 |
| surgubben1957 | lotuspsychje: both | 19:35 |
| ChronDon88 | appererntly this is the only place to get it for the board I have (I have searched for a long time) | 19:35 |
| lotuspsychje | surgubben1957: i i understand well, you want to install ubuntu full on this stick? | 19:35 |
| surgubben1957 | lotuspsychje: an simple desktop | 19:36 |
| surgubben1957 | lotuspsychje: gnome. or simular | 19:36 |
| lotuspsychje | ChronDon88: what are you trying to do exactly? can you share the full story plz? ubuntu version? | 19:36 |
| lotuspsychje | surgubben1957: usb will bottleneck your Os this way | 19:37 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: try testing it on a livecd first, that way you can see if basic features (eg. networking) works, and there won't be any damage to your file system | 19:37 |
| E3X0J8S2 | lotuspsychje: I'm not sure, but I think he/she's trying to get it on the desktop | 19:37 |
| surgubben1957 | lotuspsychje: ok E3X0J8S2: but should i use x64 x84 arm? | 19:37 |
| surgubben1957 | E3X0J8S2: the storage is empty right now... did an fully format on the harddrive | 19:39 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: do you know the specific architecture of your machine? | 19:39 |
| E3X0J8S2 | I'm not well acquainted on your particular hardware, but i'll try to help | 19:40 |
| surgubben1957 | E3X0J8S2: its about 30000 floppy disks big the storage on this little thing | 19:40 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: be right back | 19:40 |
| surgubben1957 | E3X0J8S2: architecture is asus. or do you mean somehing else? | 19:41 |
| surgubben1957 | E3X0J8S2: i dont the architectures name. i can google it. | 19:41 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: I'm back. | 19:55 |
| surgubben1957 | E3X0J8S2: welcome back | 19:55 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: I meant the computer architecture for the target (desktop? am I right?) | 19:55 |
| surgubben1957 | E3X0J8S2: its an hdmi stick | 19:55 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: eg. 32-bit, 64-bit, ARM (unlikely) etc. | 19:56 |
| surgubben1957 | 64 bit atom | 19:56 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: Okay, just to make sure. You have a usb stick with Ubuntu with you, you have a desktop (which harddrive you nuked), and you aim to install Ubuntu on the desktop, am I right? Correct me if I'm wrong | 19:57 |
| surgubben1957 | i have done an 32 bit usb with rufos and i wounder if an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 is working with the ubuntu... so i dont try to install and it dont works | 19:59 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: Sorry, I'm not good with word plays, but what do you mean by "so i dont try to install and it dont works"? | 20:00 |
| surgubben1957 | i want to use this computerstick with an desktop (gnome or simular) | 20:00 |
| surgubben1957 | i have heard that it can trash the computer | 20:00 |
| surgubben1957 | sorry for my bad english mate. im swedish | 20:00 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: That could potentially be true. But if you're running on livecd, there shouldn't be any permanent damage | 20:01 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: Again, feel free to clarify anything | 20:01 |
| surgubben1957 | E3X0J8S2: livecd? i have it on a usb. can i call it liveusb? or what is the "live" | 20:01 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: Have you tried pluging the usb (with ubuntu flashed on it) into the desktop? | 20:02 |
| surgubben1957 | yes and a promt came up | 20:02 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: Unlike most operating systems (that are written permanently to disk), most linux usb offer a "livecd" feature. | 20:02 |
| surgubben1957 | test/install/and some otherstuff | 20:02 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: A temporary file system is used, so by default, whatever you do in that live session will be list upon poweroff, unless you explicitly write to the hard disk | 20:03 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: for the prompt, try entering the "test ubuntu (something like that" | 20:03 |
| surgubben1957 | so if i press the "test ubuntu" it will be an temporary run of ubuntu.. aaaaaaahhhh an livecd | 20:04 |
| surgubben1957 | now i understand | 20:04 |
| surgubben1957 | im 60 years old so be dont judge me =) | 20:04 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: the main idea is that you try using the livecd for a while, make sure basic functionalites work (eg. network card detected, disk detected, etc.), before doing a permanent install to your hard disk | 20:05 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: no worries :) | 20:05 |
| surgubben1957 | okey... ill press the test thing. and then i will came back too you | 20:05 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: hold on, I need some output from you | 20:06 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: can you open a terminal? (using control + alt + t) | 20:06 |
| surgubben1957 | it still an icon of ubuntu | 20:06 |
| surgubben1957 | give it a sec | 20:07 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: icon of ubuntu? is it still loading? | 20:07 |
| surgubben1957 | yes i think so...the fan thats buzzing iis really loud and i see it blink | 20:07 |
| surgubben1957 | not the fan tho | 20:07 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: I'm confused. Have you entered the livecd environment? (ubuntu desktop). Also, what version of Ubuntu are you on? | 20:08 |
| surgubben1957 | i found an 16.04 | 20:08 |
| E3X0J8S2 | surgubben1957: Ideally, you want to use the newest available version, for better hardware support (due to newer kernels), but you should be careful getting 17.10 if you're on a Lenovo, IIRC | 20:09 |

| minty | cheers will do | 20:55 |
| lotuspsychje | minty: and of course in all cases, keep your ubuntu up to date | 20:56 |
| PaulVern | TJ-: Thanks, I'll check that out | 20:56 |
| TJ- | PaulVern: there are userspace tools to wrap it for making it easier to manage, such as libvirt, with virsh (CLI) and virtual-manager (GUI) | 20:56 |
| TJ- | PaulVern: libvirt abstracted management so it can be used with several different hypervisor types | 20:57 |
| minty | for sure | 20:57 |
| martin__ | hi, did some patch get released regarding intel memory areas bug? | 20:58 |
| PaulVern | TJ-: And will this let me give each VM a different public ip address (assuming I pay for each extra IP on the host)? | 20:59 |
| lotuspsychje | martin__: not public yet, keep track of !usn please | 20:59 |
| martin__ | Thanks | 20:59 |
| semitones_rex | alkisg, last question, when I mount the /dev/loop5p1 /mnt, I can choose any mountpoint, right? and then I also can do mount /dev/loop5p2 /path/to/mnt ...? | 21:00 |
| alkisg | semitones_rex: exactly, and the p2 part is the partition index | 21:01 |
| TJ- | PaulVern: indeed; any configuration you need | 21:03 |

| ash_work | radix_: you're looking for a stable linux distro? | 21:12 |
| radix_ | my distro is peppermint | 21:12 |
| radix_ | is good or not | 21:12 |
| radix_ | ? | 21:12 |
| alkisg | radix_: peppermint is based on lubuntu. We support official ubuntu flavors here, so we support lubuntu, but not peppermint. | 21:13 |
| radix_ | so ubuntu is the best of linux | 21:14 |

| satonio | Hello. I have ubuntu 16.04 and plugged a nvidia 1060 to replace my old ati card and now i cannot start unity nor cinnamon. If I stop lightdm (which seems to work fine) and do startx it ends with Deleting GPU-0 and then Sever terminated succesfully without an error in Xorg log. Any ideas about what can I do? | 21:31 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: did you try a sudo service lightdm restart? | 21:32 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: startx is not the right way anymore | 21:33 |
| satonio | just tried but i get an error about 1 second after putting the password and then back to lightdm | 21:33 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: you might also check your drivers: ubuntu-drivers list | 21:33 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: perhaps try ubuntu-drivers autoinstall | 21:34 |
| satonio | tried with autoinstall | 21:34 |
| satonio | yesterday | 21:34 |
| satonio | drivers list gives me: nvidia-384 and intel-microcode | 21:34 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: try sudo apt purge nvidia* | 21:35 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: to get back to nouveau | 21:35 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: after that, reboot and try again an nvidia driver, or !nomodeset to bypass black screens | 21:36 |
| satonio | tried that yesterday and got black screen without even be able to get the command prompt | 21:36 |
| satonio | and i wasnt able to get the lightdm until i used nomodeset | 21:36 |
| satonio | but i can try again | 21:36 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: try that purge from nomodeset perhaps? | 21:36 |
| lotuspsychje | satonio: system should boot with the opensource driver | 21:37 |
| satonio | ok i can try that | 21:37 |
| satonio | rebooting in nomodeset | 21:37 |
| lotuspsychje | im out, good luck satonio | 21:37 |

| diskin | hi all, which is the most recent kernel that could be installed on 16.04.3 (xenial)? | 22:04 |
| rfleming | bkeys: I don't believe one exists | 22:06 |
| bkeys | What about a regular download? | 22:06 |
| rfleming | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ | 22:06 |
| bkeys | I don't see anything for ARM here | 22:06 |
| rfleming | bkeys: I just said that | 22:07 |
| rfleming | there isn't one | 22:07 |
| bkeys | http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 22:07 |

| MWM | I am trying to upgrade from Lubuntu 16.04 "sudo do-release-upgrade" returns "No new release found" | 22:07 |
| bkeys | Ithought it was arm64 | 22:07 |
| rfleming | AMD64 is 64 bit intel | 22:08 |
| MWM | is there something Im missing to do an in place upgrade? | 22:08 |
| rfleming | (and AMD) | 22:08 |
| bkeys | So only 16.04 supports ARM? | 22:08 |
| bkeys | Yeah I misread it | 22:08 |
| dax | !upgradeofflts | MWM | 22:09 |
| ubottu | MWM: To upgrade from an LTS release of Ubuntu to the next (non-LTS) release, run sudoedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change the prompt= line to "prompt=normal". Then, do sudo do-release-upgrade to begin the upgrade. | 22:09 |

| bkeys | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/14.04/ | 22:13 |
| bkeys | I found this but don't know what to make of it | 22:13 |
| rfleming | bkeys: netboot is a minimal ISO that downloads during install | 22:13 |
| bkeys | Couldn't this be used to install 14.04 on an ARM machine though? | 22:14 |
| rfleming | I guess | 22:14 |
| genii | bkeys: Yes. Then just use tasksel to install the server things | 22:16 |
| genii | ( as the ubuntu-server install already does ) | 22:16 |
| bkeys | Wait, but could I get this to install it on the hard drive? | 22:16 |
| bkeys | Cause I want to put it on a chromebook | 22:16 |
| genii | Chromebooks are apparently a pain to install linux on. Most people use crouton and run it under the ChromeOS | 22:18 |
| TJ- | bkeys: there are netboot 14.04 images for ARM: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/trusty/ | 22:21 |
| bkeys | Yeah, can those install on a hard drive? | 22:22 |
| TJ- | bkeys: this guide shows how to use them (I see you found the URL before me!) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot | 22:22 |
| bkeys | Hmm, but I want to install to the hard disk | 22:23 |
| TJ- | bkeys: the idea is you run the TFTP/DHCP server on another system and have the target netboot from the files it provides, the netboot-ed installer then runs and installs to the local disk as usual. This netboot is an alternative when there is no installer ISO image, or that won't work for some reason | 22:29 |
| bkeys | I see, and there is no public machine to netboot from? | 22:29 |
| whitebeast | this may seem like a simple question but i have tried everything i can think of. i put a new graphics card into my computer, i downloaded drivers and got the video working but i still cant get sound out of it via hdmi | 22:31 |
| satonio | are the hdmi output in the list? | 22:31 |
| whitebeast | yes\ | 22:31 |
| satonio | have you tried pavucontrol? | 22:31 |
| whitebeast | im not familiar with that term | 22:32 |
| satonio | pulse audio volume control, it's another software you can use to change the output device just in case the problem is a bug in the control panel youre using to change it | 22:33 |
| whitebeast | i can give it a try.. 1 sec | 22:33 |
| satonio | i've seen weird behaviour specially when using bluetooth devices of the one that comes with unity and the one that comes with cinnamon | 22:33 |
| === mohammad is now known as linuxlove | ||
| whitebeast | available versions of pulse audio are only up to 13.10 im running 16.04 is that going to be an issue? | 22:35 |

| nacc | whitebeast: pulseaudio's version is unrelated to ubuntu's version. | 22:36 |
| E3X0J8S2 | whitebeast: no | 22:36 |
| nacc | whitebeast: what 13.10 are you referring to? that's not present in any ubuntu | 22:36 |
| bjornmose | rmose | 22:37 |
| whitebeast | the available options of download for pulse audio only supports up to ubuntu 13.10 | 22:37 |
| ChronDon88 | is guest in ubuntu limited on what it can do? | 22:37 |
| satonio | why are you trying to download pulseaudio? | 22:37 |
| satonio | i think you should be using it already | 22:37 |
| ChronDon88 | like application wise? | 22:37 |
| nacc | whitebeast: you're doing something wrong | 22:38 |
| bjornmose | join #blenderdosers | 22:38 |
| whitebeast | in the ubuntu software center? | 22:38 |
| nacc | whitebeast: for one thing, the latest pulseaudio release is 11.1 | 22:38 |
| satonio | whitebeast: do apt install pavucontrol | 22:39 |
| whitebeast | ok so i guess on your system its called pulse audio..... on my system its called sound | 22:39 |
| whitebeast | yes its the same thing im using already | 22:39 |

| ikonia | satonio: I suggest you remove the xorg config and remove an ati packages you installed | 22:43 |
| whitebeast | ok i have pulse audio now what | 22:43 |
| ikonia | satonio: you can also view the xorg log for fatal errors | 22:44 |
| blastermaster_ | remove the ait packages and the xorg and install the nvidia drivers | 22:44 |
| satonio | i already tried that yesterday. i had no fgrlx package installed, no xorg.conf file, and nvidia drivers are installed | 22:45 |

| Ben64 | line 7 of your pastebin | 23:48 |
| E3X0J8S2 | insidious: compiz is shipped by default i think | 23:48 |
| _0xbadc0de | I have auto eno1 | 23:48 |
| insidious | can i remove it? | 23:48 |
| _0xbadc0de | iface eno1 inet dhcp | 23:48 |
| E3X0J8S2 | _0xbadc0de: why are you manually editing? | 23:48 |
| insidious | i don't see it under applications. | 23:48 |
| E3X0J8S2 | insidious: try 'dpkg -l |grep compiz' | 23:49 |
| _0xbadc0de | Because I need internet on the machine? | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | _0xbadc0de: why not use the network manager | 23:49 |
| _0xbadc0de | its ubuntu server | 23:49 |
| E3X0J8S2 | _0xbadc0de: ah | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | ok now it makes sense | 23:49 |
| insidious | E3X0J8S2, do you want the output of that? | 23:49 |
| E3X0J8S2 | insidious: use that to check if compiz is installed. It is if it's listed | 23:50 |
| _0xbadc0de | I just need to restart networking so I can force it to dhcp | 23:50 |
| _0xbadc0de | how can I do that? | 23:50 |
| E3X0J8S2 | _0xbadc0de: systemctl restart networking | 23:50 |
| insidious | yeah it shows... but for gnomw. | 23:50 |
| insidious | erm | 23:50 |
| insidious | gnome. | 23:50 |
| _0xbadc0de | Failed to restart networking.service; Unit networking.service not found. | 23:51 |
| _0xbadc0de | I am on ubuntu server 17 fresh install | 23:51 |
| E3X0J8S2 | _0xbadc0de: try 'service networking restart' | 23:51 |
| _0xbadc0de | same | 23:52 |
| E3X0J8S2 | _0xbadc0de: try '/etc/init.d/networking restart' | 23:53 |
| TJ- | _0xbadc0de: 17.10 does not use ifupdown, it uses netplan to either configure NetworkManager (desktop) or systemd-networkd (server) | 23:53 |
| TJ- | _0xbadc0de: see the release notes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes#Network_configuration | 23:53 |
| _0xbadc0de | TJ but will the network manager still read from /etc/networking/interfaces? | 23:55 |
| TJ- | _0xbadc0de: it never had, it uses configs in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ | 23:56 |
| E3X0J8S2 | TJ-: he's on ubuntu server | 23:57 |
| TJ- | E3X0J8S2: right, so it's systemd-networkd, and config's under /etc/systemd/network/ | 23:58 |
| E3X0J8S2 | TJ-: that's something new, haven't been keeping up ^_^ | 23:58 |
| TJ- | the idea is to create a config in /etc/netplan that is then applied automatically to whichever service manages network connections | 23:58 |
